What's the difference between infectious and contagious? - Nick
Infectious diseases are caused by microscopic germs (such as bacteria or viruses) that get into the body and cause problems. Some — but not all — infectious diseases spread directly from one person to another. Infectious diseases that spread from person to person are said to be contagious.
Some infections spread to people from an animal or insect, but are not contagious from another human. Lyme disease is an example: You can't catch it from someone you're hanging out with or pass in the street. It comes from the bite of an infected tick.
Contagious diseases (such as the flu, colds, or strep throat) spread from person to person in several ways. One way is through direct physical contact, like touching or kissing a person who has the infection. Another way is when an infectious microbe travels through the air after someone nearby sneezes or coughs. Sometimes people get contagious diseases by touching or using something an infected person has touched or used — like sharing a straw with someone who has mono or stepping into the shower after someone who has athlete's foot. And sexually transmitted diseases are spread through all types of sex - oral, anal, or vaginal.
You can help protect yourself against contagious diseases by washing your hands frequently, staying away from those who are sick, making sure you've gotten all of your vaccines, and always using condoms during any type of sex.

Look to the rainbow

Look to the rainbow
It's a pretty difficult challenge choosing the winners of our Facebook Fan Page Photo Contest.
In just a few weeks, more than 500 wonderful photos have been uploaded. (May just have to extend the contest a few extra weeks...)
Our latest winning photo shows two children from Kokomo ending their day at Holiday World.
Seven-year old Alexis and her six-year-old brother Clayton were finishing their last day at the park when a light rain began, resulting in not one--but two--rainbows in the sky.
Do you have some special photos from a past visit to Holiday World & Splashin' Safari? Become a Fan on our Facebook page and upload them. Must be at least 13 years old and not a park employee or relative of one. And who knows? You just might win two tickets.
Holiday World compared to Disney World
We normally visit Disney every other year, but with the economy the way it is, we decided to stay closer to home and visit Holiday World with our grandkids. WOW !!! With the free drinks and the very reasonalby priced food and gift shops it was refreshing to take our family on a vacation that was fun and not so very expensive. We are water lovers, so the option of going back and forth from Holiday World and Splashin Safari with only the one rule of putting shorts and shirt over swimsuits and putting shoes on we could walk back and forth from each park all day long, which was great with 3 children under the age of eleven when it is HOT and HUMID.
I am sure that we have found an awesome alternative to Disney right here in our own state of Indiana. I would highly recommend all to visit this wonderful amusement Park. Oh I almost forgot....The roller coasters rock , pilgrims plunge was awesome and the park employees were all pleasant. Can't wait to go again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now he could be headed back not just to prison, but the same one where Mubarak, the ousted dictator he and his allies have long railed against, is being held.
Ibrahim said Saturday that such a move will probably happen, though an investigative judge will make the final decision on Morsy's next destination.
Government awaits legal OK 'to end the protests'
Neither side gave any hint of backing down -- not just on who's to blame for the latest violence but on the bigger question of whether Morsy should have been deposed and, more recently, ordered jailed over his alleged actions well before he rose to power.
Since Morsy's ouster, supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood and its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, have staged mass rallies and sit-ins across the North African nation.
There have been rival rallies as well such as the ones Friday called by military chief Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to show support for the army's effort to end what he calls "terrorism" -- a statement condemned by the Brotherhood as "inciting violence and hatred."
Mutual trust appears absent as does the prospect of a peaceful resolution anytime soon.
Leaders of the pro-Morsy movement refuse to recognize the interim government or cooperate with it.
The interior minister, meanwhile, had pledged that these rallies will be brought to an end soon.
"We have complete coordination between the police and the armed forces to end the protests at the proper time," Ibrahim said. "... But we are waiting for the prosecutor's office to issue orders so can we have the legal cover for it."
Officials worldwide express concern
Egypt has been on edge since the military forced out Mubarak in early 2011. Yet the situation has clearly gotten more dire in recent weeks.
The European Union's foreign minister condemned the killings of pro-Morsy protesters in Nasr City as well as bellicose language by some Egyptian officials.
"There is no room for hate-speech and other forms of incitement," according to a statement released by Catherine Ashton's office.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke Saturday with al-Sisi, his Egyptian counterpart, to encourage restraint, said Pentagon spokesman George Little.
And U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry talked Saturday with Egypt's interim vice president and its foreign minister to express Washington's deep concern about the bloodshed.
"This is a pivotal moment for Egypt," Kerry said in a statement. "Over two years ago, the revolution began. Its final verdict is not decided, but it will be forever impacted by what happens now."

Restorative Practices and the Transformation at West Philadelphia High School
From Laura Mirsky's article for the Restorative Practices E-Forum
West Philadelphia High School has undergone a transformation. It has been on Pennsylvania's "Persistently Dangerous Schools" list for six years, but the implementation of restorative practices and strong leadership, headed by principal Saliyah Cruz, have made a huge difference. The culture and climate of the school have improved significantly, violent and serious incidents have plummeted, and rates of discipline procedures such as suspensions and expulsions have decreased dramatically.

Every Japanese grade schooler lugs around a big leather backpack called a "randoseru" (ランドセル). They're sturdy and pricey, because they're supposed last all six years of primary school.
Girls usually get red or pink randoseru, while boys get black or blue. Robots? Well, they get randoseru from retail chain Nitori—complete with a six year warranty!
The robots featured in the commercial are from Osaka robot company Vstone, and the commercial's jingle apparently uses virtual idol Hatsune Miku, too.
As a parent of a grade school Japanese kid, the obvious comparison of robots to school kids is mind reeling—cute, but mind reeling.

It's been more than four decades since drummer/producer Bobby Colomby and friends assembled the first group to successfully blend rock and jazz into a genre-crossing sound and style. So successfully, in fact, that the band's second album, "Blood, Sweat & Tears," topped the Billboard charts, beat out the Beatles' "Abbey Road" for Grammy Album of the Year, and produced three major hit singles, "You Made Me So Very Happy," "Spinning Wheel" and "And When I Die." Blood, Sweat & Tears will take the stage to perform their hits with the same unbridled enthusiasm as yesteryear. The band will also introduce some new elements into every performance, including a segment devoted to "Songs We Wish We'd Recorded," done in classic B, S & T style. Opening the evening is Brass Transit, a Chicago tribute band playing all the hits from Chicago's golden age.
Since the release of his 2004 critically acclaimed CD "When I Fall In Love," trumpeter Chris Botti has become the largest-selling American instrumental artist. His success has crossed over to audiences usually reserved for pop music and his ongoing association with PBS has led to four No. 1 jazz albums, as well as multiple Gold and Platinum records, and multiple Grammy Awards. He has recorded and performed with the best in music, including Sting, Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Yo-Yo Ma, Michael Bublé, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, John Mayer, Andrea Bocelli and Joshua Bell. Most recently, his latest album, "Impressions," won the Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards. Performing worldwide, and selling more than three million albums, he has found a form of creative expression that begins in jazz and expands beyond the limits of any single genre.
After Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, Doris Kearns Goodwin once again wields her magic on another larger-than-life president and a momentous and raucous American time period as she brings Theodore Roosevelt, the muckraking journalists and the Progressive Era to life in this new presentation. Her focus is on the broken friendship between Teddy Roosevelt and his chosen successor, William Howard Taft. Goodwin shares with audiences a time in our history that enlightened and changed the country, ushered in the modern age and produced some unforgettable men and women.

The Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra (SJMO) was founded in 1990 with an appropriation from the U.S. Congress in recognition of the importance of jazz in American culture and its status as a national treasure. The orchestra, led by Artistic and Musical Director Charlie Young, serves as the orchestra-in-residence at the National Museum of American History, Division of Cultural History. The orchestra recreates big-band jazz as its composers and arrangers intended it to be played, stripping away intervening changes and alterations. The SJMO has rediscovered old classics and more recently has begun premiering new works all in tribute to the great Ella Fitzgerald. Composed of musicians drawn from across the United States, the orchestra plays authentic and compelling performances of the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie and many other masters. Delores King Williams performs as vocalist.

- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line the base and sides of a 23cm springform or loose-bottomed cake tin. Put the butter and chocolate into a pan and gently melt together until smooth. Meanwhile, using an electric whisk, beat the eggs and sugar together for 5 mins until billowy and about the thickness of old-fashioned custard.
- Pour the chocolate and butter mix into the whisked egg and sugar, then fold it in very carefully using a large metal spoon. Mix the flour, almonds and ¼ tsp salt together, then fold into the mix until even. Spoon into the tin and bake for 35-40 mins until evenly set with a slight crust all over the top. Leave the cake to cool until warm, then release from the tin. Dust with cocoa, then cut into wedges.

Comments, questions and tips
Issy - I've made this countless times and find that it's best to do it in the oven, the microwave doesn't quite do it justice!
I've just agreed to make a birthday cake for a surprise party on Saturday for 25 people - eek! I'm hoping to make two of these, then layer them up to make a 'supercake; but I would prefer a square cake. Has anyone converted it from a circular tin to a square one and if so is it really as easy as that? The dimensions are about the same so I'm really hoping so, if anyone could give me any help that would be great, thanks!
I cannot convey how good this is. Squidgy, chocolatey, delicious. I baked it on a Sun for dessert on a Mon to be served with fresh cream. (I would say it us lovely baked fresh then served with icecream). It was wolfed down. Second helpings on Tue & one slice left over which tasted just as good on the Wed. One of the only desserts I know which keeps as well as it does. Absolute winner. You will love it
I followed this recipe exactly. I havent tasted it yet as its for lunch tomorrow but it looks pretty awful. Cracked top and really thin. It did rise in the oven but sank to a 'cowpat' some minutes afterwards. Should this happen. I need your help as it was quite an expensive dessert and if it is nice to taste I would like to make it again but I want it to look good too!
I cannot praise this recipe enough! Did it as a dessert for a last minute dinner party last week and it was perfect. I am not really a 'cake' person - not very good at making them and don't normally like anything too chocolatey.... I had seconds, as did everyone else :) Great recipe for a lovely moist texture that is more dense than a brownie but not as rich as a torte. Yum!

Hey everyone! I have a mobile home that I am planning on redoing the floors in. I was thinking of using pallets afterall they can be found every where for free. I don't know if I want to paint and polyuthene them or stain them. Would I nail them down or can I screw them down? What would you do? I know it will take awhile no matter what but I have plenty of time. Any other thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks! | |||
Welcome. Go to www.ehow.com and search under "installing wood flooring in a mobile home". I believe they recommend a floating floor. I can't recommend using pallets for a durable floor and question if it will be asthetically pleasing. If you are near Lumber Liquidators they frequently offer bargain prices especially if a spieces or style of hardwood is being discontinued. Check out locations on their web site. We've gotten some great deals there in the past. Just be sure you buy enough to allow for imperfections....10 percent or more. Also allow the wood to acclimate as recommended and to leave the recommended gap along walls for expansion. Btw, reclaimed hardwood might be another optionThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Froo Froo, | ||||
Thanks Froo! I will check out both places. I thought the pallets would be a good idea because of them being so plentiful here and of the cost FREE! Maybe I was wrong LOL I will definitely check other options though. Thanks again! | ||||
I remember seeing an episode of the old Christopher Lowell show, where a woman used wood from pallets for flooring. It was a very rustic look with fairly large gaps between the planks, but she liked it and I thought it was an interesting look. But she did say she had problems with the various pieces of wood being different thicknesses, which created a tripping hazard. She overcame this problem by placing thick runners over pathways. I hope you'll post a photo if you decide to go ahead with the project. If not, have you considered painting your existing floor to get a new look? | ||||
As one who is always trying new ideas in her manufactured home(and in need of new flooring) I would be interested to see how this turns out. My biggest concern would be that I think that the wood pallets are made of is very rough and that could lead to problems like splinters walking on it. And if you have to sand it then I think that the time that would consume would offset the pallets being free. Also, if they are rough, it is going to be impossible to sweep or mop them(ask me how I know that! . In my sewing room, we just put a fast coat of oops paint from lowe's down on the plywood. It's nowhere near as rough as pallets and it is very hard to sweep! It will be the first room to get some type of new floor put down! I have plywood subfloors in my MH. In the living room we stained and polyurithaned(sp) over them and us a big area rug. I'm happy with it till we can put real wood floors down. In a guest room, I painted the floor. That has worked too. | ||||
Someone has already mentioned the differences in thickness of the wood used for pallets. Also, a lot of them are not that good of wood...meaning it wouldn't last under traffic/weight. Some are made from oak but they are painted and there are fines for anyone not returning them to the owners...so be careful...even if some place puts them out for "free". "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
Thanks guys for all the ideas/suggestions. I've decided not to do this, not sure what I am going to do though. I like the wood look and have considered tiles that look like wood or even laminate so decisions decisions LOL | ||||
One other thing to consider if using pallets - they carry termites and other wood-eating bugs in them. My husband lost a huge stash of oak and some cherry because he had something delivered on a pallet. He went into his shop one day and the pallet was practically dust and then noticed the damage to the oak. He tried to get rid of the bugs, but it was too late. The bugs had laid eggs in the pallet and once it got warm enough, they hatched and were hungry little critters. | ||||
Thanks KJKCPSCAP! Now I definitely know I will not use pallets as flooring. Thanks again everyone for the info that you gave me. | ||||

Web page layouts with the GIMP
Good homepage design is a question of the layout. Sometimes the best option is to use a graphics program to design the page, then translate the result into HTML code. The versatile image manipulation program GIMP can help.
Some purists believe they must compose HTML code line by line in a text editor to achieve clean results, but other developers are occasionally willing to consider alternatives. One little known alternative is the option of creating a graphics file in GIMP and then converting the file directly to HTML. GIMP version 2 (www.gimp.org) or newer includes the Py-Slice plug-in, which converts the image into a collection of tiles, and then creates an HTML table that organizes the tiles into an image that looks like the original. The results can easily be used for homepages with attractive graphics, like the example shown in Figure 1. Most current distributions give you GIMP version 2.2; we will be using this version for the remainder of this article. Suse users will need to add the Python extension and the Py-Slice plug-in manually [2]. After doing so, launch GIMP and create a new image (File | New). Then select the 800x600 entry in the Templates drop down. This is the resolution we will be using for the homepage. Then enter a name for the file; you will be storing the file under this name later. Make sure you use GIMP's native .xcf format to have access to all of GIMP's features.

PPC donates money for Bight park, DECR |
Friday, 21 May 2010 10:23 | |||
PPC Ltd. has donated $12,000 to the Department of Environment and Coastal Resources to help maintain the Bight park and promote environmental conservation in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Employees of PPC are also organising days to help clean-up and maintain the popular new park. The Bight park is used for a variety of recreational as well as educational purposes, and the DECR has identified key areas where PPC's donation can be put to good use. Additions are planned for the children's recreational area of the park as well as the initiation of a public awareness programme to promote biodiversity conservation and management throughout the islands. "This donation by PPC will go a long way in helping ensure that the park is maintained and remains available for use by the public," said Wesley Clerveaux, DECR director. "We encourage business and public groups to keep the Bight park in mind when planning recreational activities." Eddinton Powell, CEO of PPC, said his company is committed to promoting youth development and maintenance of the Bight park.

Problem with badminton shoes : big toe bleeds under the nail ?!
Hi everyone,
I bet there must be also others who experienced the same problem. I've lost 2 nails (of the big toe) by playing badminton. Until now I still have no clue whether the problem was the shoes (Kason shoes) or my foot (it is somewhat wide)
Now I decide to buy a new shoes and would like to try a number bigger (43 instead of 42). But I am still confused, if the shoes is bigger then there is empty space when I wear it, and my foot would "moves back and forth" inside the shoes, which is very harmful to the toes , isn't it ??
It would be nice if someone could help me out
Happened to me before. You should get a smaller size shoe instead of bigger(start half size smaller than what you are wearing now and reduce again if necessary). Initially, you should feel the shoe a bit too tight out of the box. It took me couple of trials before getting the right size. Good luck.
Thanks for the answer. But I'm afraid I cannot wear a smaller size, since even with my normal size shoes, my feet hurt if I tie the shoes too tight.
I have read somewhere on the Internet that for running shoes, we should use a bigger size. I don't know whether it applies to badminton too ?
If you have wide feet, you should get wide shoes, eg Yonex shb200.
Also make sure your toenails are cut short enough, otherwise they'll lift when you lunge.
Agree with Visor. Just get wider shoes. There is no point squeezing your feet into something that does not fit and hoping the shoe expands (if it does, it will not support you too well), or get a longer shoe and pray for divine intervention. Movements in badminton is a lot more complex than running so the fit of the shoe is extremely important. A shoe that does not fit results in anything from blisters to lifted nails to sprained ankles.
I'm sure the same running website also tout getting shoes that fit (although I dun believe in running shoes).
This is just from my own personal experience tho. No scientific proof to back me up.
Well, like what nltung said on the bold area above, that's what had happened to me, when I came back from a 10yrs hiatus from baddy. I normally buy shoe about half to one size bigger. Bought my first YY shoe, half size bigger(I could feel my toe a bit loose). Initially, I felt sore on my toe after baddy session and in less than 10 sessions, I had blood under my nail. I stopped playing for a while to let it recover(no more blood). After, I changed my shoe to a smaller one and I have been playing since 2006 till now without re-occurring problem. Also, I have changed quite a few pair of shoes, different brands and still didn't have the problem as long as I stick to half a cm smaller than my normal size.
FYI, when I shop for any shoe, I would buy size 27cm instead of 26.5cm. But I solved my problem by gettting a 26cm. I think a good word to use here is to let the shoe "break-in". During the "break-in" period, yes, it's quite uncomfortable BUT not pain. JUST uncomfortable. If you get pain, I don't think the shoe is right for you or the size is too small!!
Again that's just what I experienced.
In this case, I don't think my suggestion suit you. I don't feel hurt of any kind with any of my shoes from size 26cm(very tight) to 27cm(quite loose). You might have a different problem to mine but quite similar from the descriptions.
So, please ignore what I have posted.
A friend of mine also had the same problem but imho it was caused by his footwork rather than the shoes. When he lunges, his foot lands on the toes rather than his heel.
Personally I would allow half a thumb's spacing at front of the shoes and I wear thick badminton socks.
Usual problem of heavy badders
Dear nltung
It is usual problem for me and for my fellow overweigth badders.
If for some reasons your feet hits the front of the shoe from inside of the shoe - you will definitely have bleeding or loose the nail on the big toe (or may be other toes).
To awoid this problem you need to care about:
Right shoe size - if it too loose - the foot will slip back and forth inside and will definetily hit the front of the shoe. If it too tight - the foot is reaching the front of the shoe already - any additional force will hurt you. So get a right shoe size.
Right shoe width - if it is too wide - you foot will be loose and slipping back and force - and of corse injuring you. So get a right shoe width.
Right socks size - if sock is too short - it will hurt you. So get a rigth sized anatomic socks. And do not put it hard on - it must have some loose space at the front to prevent damage to you nails.
Right nail cut - if nail is too long - it will hurt. So cut you nails properly.
If you overweight - that is the real problem. Sometimes additional weight is the real problem - shoe have stopped already - and you and you body are still moving - that will hurt you.
And one more -the shoe got too many sweat or the insole is weared. If it too much humidity - the feet will slide. If the insole has too much wear - the feet will slide and hurt you. Have a spare pair of shoes or replace insoles - depends on the cause of the problem.
Hope I haven't forgotten something :-) and this will help you not to hurt youself.
Thank Sealman and Valentinas, you are both genius and absolutely right !
Yes, I was overweight, 3 years ago, I suddenly gained 15 kg, and as far as I remember the problem occured just afterward. In the last couple of months I managed to lose 10 kg (thanks God, eventually !!!). Footwork must also be part of the reason, not long ago, a friend of mine who does badminton coaching told me that I need to change my footwork since he saw I was standing mostly on the heel and therefore reacted quite slow. Furthermore , when I stand on the heels and do the lunges, my foot automatically lands on the toes, which Sealman already pointed out + my overweight body , of course my toes will get damaged
After I lost that 10 kg weight and trained on my footwork, my games are now so much better, some friends of mine even said to me that my performance must have increased by 70%, what a nice compliment
Now I have to go to the doctors and have them remove my nail, I think I am having 2 layers of nails at the moment, and the tissues underneath are probably dead .... (I am having a black big toe, and it annoys others when they see that). Hopefully my nail can still grow back ...
I am also ordering this Hi-Tec shoes, it looks quite suitable for me .
Thank you guys so muchLast edited by nltung; 08-28-2010 at 03:41 PM.

Fliers, drivers and rail riders, heads up: the next 10 years will dramatically transform America's traveling landscape.
Get ready to share the road with driverless, computer-controlled cars. Prepare to join millions of travelers who will start riding trains to nearby cities. Expect to be nickel-and-dimed (even more) by the airlines. Don't be surprised to see sleek new airline designs that run cleaner and burn less fuel, thanks to new materials and innovative technology.
In the air, the trend toward low-cost airlines and so-called "a la carte" pricing will likely become the accepted norm, as fliers finally accept a business model that reminds us: nothing is free and everything costs. By 2022, say experts, the consumer war over having to pay for every airline perk and option from pillows to snacks to window seats to legroom will be over.
Number crunchers will win. Grumblers will lose.
"It's the unbundling of services," said airline analyst Mike Miller. "Passengers are choosing the airlines that have the most fees, most often. These carriers are the most profitable and the most full."
Opponents fear the new hyper-itemized normal will create a group of "super elite" passengers who are treated very differently than the rest of us. More on that later.
On the ground, we'll see amazing technological strides in the development of self-driving cars during the next decade. But America's roads and bridges will continue to suffer from much needed repairs, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers. But hey, at least we'll be able to multitask while our cars are dodging potholes.
Across the nation's sprawling rail lines, experts anticipate several states from coast to coast will continue investing in trains that connect regional cities. And the future looks bright, analysts say, for the nation's urban light rail and tramway systems. We'll get to that in a minute.
First, let's use four quick stats to remind ourselves what a big deal the transportation industry is:
Planes: By 2022, the FAA predicts more than a billion U.S. airline passengers.
Cars and trucks: Washington says registered passenger vehicles number above 250 million (for perspective, the entire U.S. population numbers more than 312 million).
Trains: Amtrak ridership set an all-time record this year: more than 31 million passengers.
The 'race to the bottom'
Prospects for the airline industry look good, but still, some experts are worried.
Airline consumer expert Brett Snyder of crankyflier.com fears continued success of low-cost carriers could hurt consumers in the long run. Low-cost airlines are growing fast and raking in big profits by charging ultra-cheap fares while nickel-and-diming passengers to pay for even the most basic extras.
Europe's RyanAir offers an extreme example. The airline's CEO has talked about charging his passengers to use on-board toilets and creating standing-room-only sections on some flights.
The danger, said Miller, is creating two types of fliers: the "haves" -- "super-elite frequent fliers who get everything" -- and the "have-nots" -- passengers in economy "who get nothing."
That business model sounds familiar, said Miller, of the American Aviation Institute. "CEOs are earning more money than ever and the average wage is not going up. Now we're seeing that mirrored by airline service. That's a little troubling because the coach passenger seems to be always getting less."
By 2022, fliers will likely have accepted the idea that they must pay fees for every perk and service which, a generation earlier, was included in passenger fares.
Snyder is no fan of extreme low-cost carriers like RyanAir. But in general, he believes passengers want choices and, to some degree, a la carte provides that. It's a system that allows passengers to choose the services they want. Some fliers may not be able to get their heads around it because they're stuck in the past.
