The right to health has been widely recognized by States and international organizations as basic human rights without which sustainable human development can not be achieved.

LCC Basics Training
This section of the course presents the grant cycle timeline in detail. The timeline involves two tracks: one for streamlined LCCs and one for non-streamlined LCCs.
Much like train tracks coming into a station, the cycle is the same for part of the process, then it splits into two separate tracks for part of the year, and then the two join back up again at the end. Your LCC's streamlined status determines the track you should follow.
As you navigate through this section, you have a choice to follow one path or the other. Feel free to return and go down the other path if you would like.
If you're not sure of your council's status, view a list of non-streamlined councils.

Hello there! An aspiring med student here taking my undergraduate degree here in UP. Di ko na pinapangarap sa med namin, di naman kasi ako gagraduate with honors e at halos lahat naman nang kinukuha ng UP Med eh puro may honors. Sakto lang naman ang mga grades ko and gusto ko talagang tuparin ang aking pangarap na maging doktor.
Have no idea sa patakaran re:candidates for applying for Medicine sa FMS pero tanong ko lang, malaki ba ang chance na matanggap sa FMS ang isang student na hindi latin honor recipient? Malaking factor din ba ang mataas na NMAT grade? And do FMS give scholarships? Salamat sa makakapagbigay ng sagot!
^Thank you, blue md. Malayo ang course ko sa med e. But I would like to cross the border to the med professions. Pagbutihin ko na lang ang NMAT. Anyway, magkano ang minimum gastos kapag med school freshie?
Ask ko lang po kung pwede kumuha ng kahil ilang Application forms para sa USTET . kasi po ikukuha ko na po yung mga classmates ko eh )
Pampi 1010 ,the freshman who took religion enrolled in UST med? Was he/she required to take the additional math and science subjects?
Hi I just want to know kung totoo ba na di prinoprocess ang
2. Those who have incurred more than eight units of failures ??
Gusto ko mag med kaya lang marami ako bagsak nung undergrad, college was a tough ride for me. And now, nanghihina ako dahil dito. Gusto ko pa **** makapasok sa UST. Please I need help, kung possible ba ang ''backup'' para makapasok sa ust, bec. our family has a family doctor teaching in UST. Although di pa ko nag aask sa kanya ng help.
May possibility ba na makapasok ako sa med??
Hello! I'm a pharmacy student po from UST i would just like to ask kung gaano ba kalaki or kababa ng chance ko po na makapasok ng UST FMS thank you so much!
seems like they're busy? :/
What are the chances that I get accepted into UST Med:
- i failed more than 8 units of subject in UST
- i haven't taken the NMAT yet :/
I know someone inside, our family doctor is teaching in ust med.
We can afford anything, money is not a problem.
I want to enter Medicine.
I messed up my pre-med course because it was really difficult.
I want to know, is there any chances that I can get in by just having a connection????
I want to know kung may 'bobo' bang nakapasok sa ust med. (sorry for the bobo term, pero i'm just an average student who is hoping to become a doctor someday.
^ Consider that yearly admission into UST FMS is getting very competitive, tough because of the huge number of applicants. The committee gives much bearing into pre-med grades, NMAT score (the higher the better), entrance exam. So, if you failed more than 8 units in Pre-Med, think of applying into other medical schools.
Don't rely too much on your family friend who teaches in the faculty. Remember, it's you who make the cut.. not him/her.
I'm an average student during my pre-med days, no failed grades, my NMAT was okay (before may cut-off pa sila na 65), no backer/kilala-sa-loob, and I didn't had my pre-med in UST. Back then, they only admit 400 students into 1st yr. I made it and graduated.
Hi. First year Medicine student ako sa UST. Graduate ako sa Our Lady of Fatima University ng BS Nursing. Marami akog failed sa transcript more than 20 units pero yung NMAT score ko ay mataas at nakapasa naman ako sa entrance exam kaya ayun natanggap ako sa UST!!!! =)
i don't see why failed subjects is very important. I mean you fail but you took up again that subject. Grades doesn't measure a persons ability to do / perform something. Bakit pag surgeon ka ba kelangan mataas grade mo? It's all about the skills dba?? And I really want to enter UST Med. If not then I hope some schools will accept me.
Well, IMO, your grades represent your skills.
2 years from now, I can foresee myself wearing the UST Med uniform.
Optimism. Hihi.
@ExApparatus - Not really. It depends, there are a lot of people who got kick out of school and yet manage to be successful. Grades are just numbers..
@officeboy24 - I can't send you messages, it says full na daw yung capacity ng inbox mo. lol. Btw, I think your section C ? May clin ep kayo ngayon 2pm diba? hahahaha!! Pakilala ka na kasi, lol.
If you can be successful outside, why can't it be in school as well? Well it's MY opinion naman.

The importance of daily mail delivery? Are you in urgent need of junk mail?
Daily mail delivery is an incredible waste of money. Twice a week would be more than sufficient. This is 2013, not 1950. If your business still relies on the mail for payments, it is because your business has failed to keep up with technology.
So true. Businesses COULD adapt to a 2 or 3 day mail delivery, they could cut their customers who actually mail in a bill a few days slack to make up for a toned down delivery schedule. I certainly don't need or want 6 delivery days of JUNK mail, with perhaps ONE personal payment in the form of a check during all those days. Also, why are people STILL writing personal checks? Hello! This is the 21st century, EBT anyone? I just had to send my first check since 2005 simply because the business didn't have any system of EBT set up. Well, I didn't send it, the bank did for me. Get with it businesses, there are a multitude of things that can be done on line and electronically now. Writing personal checks out of an antiquated checkbook you might have is quaint, but a waste of time. Why do you think god invented debit cards? I pay all my monthly necessary bills with bank transfers, and when I go to the store, I use my debit card. Businesses could easily adapt and work around the same formulas as most people do now. The question is, do they WANT to adapt or do they wish to remain in the good old days of the 20th century?

Asthma and Children
Asthma and Cold Air Children with asthma are sensitive to sudden temperature and humidity changes. When going outdoors during cold weather, the air inhaled may not warm or become humid enough as it passes through the warmth and humidity of the nose before it gets to the airways. Thus, the cold air entering the airways may trigger an asthma attack. |
What causes childhood asthma?
The majority of children with asthma have allergies. Even exposure to low-grade allergens (those that do not cause significant allergic reactions) may increase the severity of a child's asthma. In addition, allergies may play a role in undiagnosed asthma cases. Other triggers of childhood asthma may include:- upper respiratory infections (i.e., colds)
- inhaled irritants, such as secondhand smoke
- certain weather conditions, such as cold air
- physical expressions of emotion, such as crying, laughing, or yelling
Do children outgrow childhood asthma?
How asthma will affect a child throughout his/her lifetime varies, depending on the child. Many infants and toddlers have an episode or two of wheezing during viral illnesses (cold, flu, etc.). However, the majority of these children do not go on to develop asthma later in life. For some children with persistent wheezing and asthma during childhood, the condition improves during the teenage years. About half of the children who have asthma at a young age appear to "outgrow" it, although the asthma symptoms may reappear later in life. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, asthma cannot be cured, but can be controlled during life with proper and adequate diagnosis, education, and treatment.If my child has asthma, can he/she participate in sports?
- Have your child breathe through the nose and not the mouth to warm and humidify the air before it enters the airways.
- Give your child asthma medication before exercising, as recommended by your child's physician.
- Have your child carry a "reliever" or "reserve" medications, just in case of an asthma attack.
- During cold weather, have your child wear a scarf over the mouth and nose, so that the air breathed in is warm and easier to inhale.
Asthma and school:
Some children with asthma may need to take their medications during school hours. It is important that the child, family, physician, and school staff all work together toward meeting the child's asthma treatment goals. To ensure optimal asthma care for your child at school, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology recommends the following:- Meet with teachers, the school nurse, and other relevant school staff to inform them about your child's condition, special needs, and asthma management plan in case of an urgent or emergent situation.
- Educate school personnel on your child's asthma medications and how to assist during an asthma attack. It is also important to inform them to refrain from altering your child's asthma care management plan in an emergent situation unless approved by your child's physician.
- Ask school staff to treat your child "normally" when the asthma is under control.
- Before starting a physical education class, educate that teacher or coach on exercise-induced asthma.
- Check indoor air quality, allergens, and irritants in the school.
- Take steps to prevent asthma symptoms from starting that could hamper your child's energy level.
- Ensure your child's emotional well-being by reassuring him/her that asthma does not have to slow him/her down or make him/her different from the other children.
Giving your child control of asthma throughout the years:
It is very important to be honest with your child about his/her disease, the severity of the disease, and the use of medications. Always remember as your child grows, independence is an important goal for a child. They do no want to be different, yet they will need guidance and supervision on any restrictions they might have.- toddlers
This age group relies completely on the parents. They understand little about the disease. The most important factor with this age group is to make medication time a fun one, while stressing the importance of taking the medications. Let them assist in any way possible. - school age
This group has an increased ability to understand their disease and its impact. They should be taught about their medications, how to exercise restriction, and how to avoid their triggers. They should be allowed to play with peers and monitor their own symptoms. - adolescents
Generally, adolescents resist having to take chronic medications, do not like having restrictions on their life, and do not want to be different. It is crucial to involve your adolescent in every aspect of the management of his/her asthma. He/she should help with goal setting and help decide which medications work best for him/her. Asthma "contracts" can be given to your adolescent child in order that he/she may have some control of his/her asthma, yet continue to allow overall parental supervision of his/her condition. Having asthma does not have to mean having less fun than other adolescents. It is important for your adolescent child to tell his/her friends and dates what triggers the asthma, such as cigarette smoke or even perfumes or after-shaves, depending on his/her sensitivity. In addition, your adolescent child should continue taking the asthma medication as prescribed. If your adolescent child has exercise-induced asthma, he/she may need to take a preventive medicine before participating in any physical activities, such as dancing. Always consult your child's physician if you have questions.

The last few days I've been thinking that I want to re-arrange a short story I wrote about 2 months ago and try to make it into at least a novella, if not a full-length, and have come up with many new ideas for it. Then today I suddenly got a totally different idea and wrote the opening pages of a story that is completely un-related and that I think is some of my best writing so far. To add to all that, I recently took a trip to Maui with some extended family members and have plenty of stories and funny stuff to put into a non-fiction piece.
All of this has brought up some options that I didn't plan on. I could:
*Put everything aside and continue with the piece that suddenly struck me today.
*Continue with the re-write of the first story.
*Wait on all that and focus on the non-fiction piece. I took all kinds of notes while on the trip so, really, it isn't going anywhere. Neither are the other two, for that matter.
My question for the group here is, what do you do when you have more ideas than you know what to do with? Work on each one here and there, whenever you're inspired? Jot some ideas down but continue with whatever you were working on already? None of the above?

There had, of course, been other fires. Four hundred and fifty years before, the city had almost burned to the ground. Yet the signs from the heavens in 1666 were ominous: comets, pyramids of flame, monsters born in city slums. Then, in the early hours of 2 September, a small fire broke out on the ground floor of a baker's house in Pudding Lane. In five days that small fire would devastate the third largest city in the Western world.
Adrian Tinniswood's magnificent new account of the Great Fire of London explores the history of a cataclysm and its consequences. It pieces together the untold human story of the Fire and its aftermath - the panic and terror, the search for scapegoats, and the rebirth of a city. Above all, it provides an unsurpassable recreation of what happened to schoolchildren and servants, courtiers and clergymen when the streets of London ran with fire.Title: | By Permission of Heaven | Publisher: | Random House Group Limited |

[PATCH] Global AV delay support via advancedsettings.xml - Printable Version +- XBMC Community Forum (http://forum.xbmc.org) +-- Forum: Development (/forumdisplay.php?fid=32) +--- Forum: Development (/forumdisplay.php?fid=93) +--- Thread: [PATCH] Global AV delay support via advancedsettings.xml (/showthread.php?tid=96916) |
[PATCH] Global AV delay support via advancedsettings.xml - a11599 - 2011-03-15 10:10 The patch was merged on 24 Feb 2012 into master. Dear All, I just submitted a patch which enables setting global AV delay. Some displays have complex video processing and can introduce a noticeable delay in video. This functionality can be used to compensate for this within XBMC. The patch enables specifying different delays based on display refresh rate. It can also be used for working around the infamous 24p 250 msec audio delay bug (or whatever it is ). Global delay is set in advancedsettings.xml. A sample describing supported options is here: Code: <advancedsettings> - KennethC - 2011-03-17 12:28 This is awesome and it would be very helpful if this got into an upcoming release. - jmarshall - 2011-03-17 22:27 I believe the delay has been taken care of in the AE branch, so once that's merged it may not be needed? - KennethC - 2011-03-17 22:35 jmarshall Wrote:I believe the delay has been taken care of in the AE branch, so once that's merged it may not be needed? Is the new AE going to be merged in the next release, or that still an unknown at this point? - a11599 - 2011-03-18 12:05 jmarshall Wrote:I believe the delay has been taken care of in the AE branch, so once that's merged it may not be needed? Well, hopefully the 250 ms issue will be solved finally by merging AE (I personally have not tested the AE branch), but the intention of the patch was originally not to fix that issue (it just can be used for that as well as a workaround), but to provide some way to define audio shift for people with "lagging" displays who have no other way to do it (for example because their receiver does not provide such a functionality). - sonic00 - 2011-03-26 22:43 Hi there. I have a -300 delay, if I play 24p files. I tried all "A/V sync methods" in xbmc - settings - videos - playback, but nothing changed - the delay is still there. So I found this thread and tried the patch. But I guess I missed something. I already have a working advancedsettings.xml. I copied the code and paste it in my advancedsettings.xml (changed the delay to -300). But nothing happend. The delay is also with this patch still there. I can change the delay to -3000 or +3000, its always the same. So I guess I forget something, but what? At the moment I can change the delay over the OSD, but thats awful, cause I have to do it for all my 24p movies. Any tipps? Do I have to make some other changes in the xbmc settings?? - a11599 - 2011-03-27 08:10 Please post your current advancedsettings.xml. - sonic00 - 2011-03-27 16:41 I am right, that I have to bulid a complete new xbmc version, where first I have to patch some files? If so, thats what I missed I thought, I just have to change the advancesettings.xml. Code: <advancedsettings> - a11599 - 2011-03-27 20:31 Yep, you have to build your own version to use this patch. - ashlar - 2011-04-07 14:43 Considering the all around usefulness of this (ie. for people with no AV receivers capable of setting delays), any chance for this to be merged? It definitely seems to go beyond AE. Although, thinking about it, it might well be that AE will change pretty much everything this is coded for. |

Last Chance Time For Judah |
Written by Ron Borges | |||
Tuesday, 29 July 2008 19:00 | |||
LAS VEGAS – Zab Judah didn't have to ponder the question for even a moment before he replied because he not only knew the sad answer, he'd lived it. "When I look back at my career I just feel like I cheated myself,'' the former undisputed welterweight champion said. "I didn't give myself a fair chance. But I know if I lose this fight it's only because it wasn't meant to be. I know I have the talent. If it doesn't come out now, it's not going to come out.''

The Cape Fear baseball team considers geese a lucky omen this year, and the squad was buoyed early Thursday when a pair of geese swooped across the outfield at Carter Smith Stadium.
But in the end, it was the pitching of sophomore left-hander Spencer Faircloth that proved the difference as he hung one goose egg after another on the scoreboard in a 2-1 Colt win over Clayton.
The victory in the first round of the state 4-A playoffs improves Cape Fear to 15-7-1. Clayton's season ends at 14-11.
Cape Fear advances to the second round of the playoffs against the winner of tonight's game between New Bern and Smithfield-Selma. If New Bern wins, Cape Fear will travel there for the next round. A Smithfield win would put Cape Fear at home next Tuesday.
Faircloth gave up a run in the first inning against Clayton, and then held the Comets scoreless the rest of the way, allowing four hits and striking out nine.
But it wasn't all smooth flying for the Colts pitcher, especially in the ninth inning after Clayton loaded the bases with only one out.
Faircloth said he had one thing in mind at that point. "Composure, composure, composure,'' he said. "My coach kept telling me, 'One pitch at a time.' I've got a great staff behind me and I knew if I kept hitting my spots, they'd make plays and we'd get a win.''
As it turned out, Faircloth didn't need the defense behind him in the seventh as he took the full load on his shoulders, striking out the final two batters to seal the win.
After falling behind 1-0 in the first, Cape Fear got all the runs it needed in the bottom of the first.
A bunt single by Justin Robinson and a throwing error by Clayton pitcher Evan Phillips put runners at second and third for the Colts.
Austin Davis and Daniel Furr laid down back-to-back bunts to score Robinson and Jordan Jacobs to stake the Colts to a 2-1 lead that Faircloth would make hold up the rest of the way.
"We expected a low-scoring game,'' Colts coach Wendell Smith said, not hesitating to go the bunt early.
"When you've got a guy clicking the gun at 92, 93 (mph), you feel like you need to try something different.
"Once we've got two, it's on Spencer's shoulders, and we feel pretty good when it's on his shoulders.''
Smith felt Faircloth's fastball was his best pitch of the night. When Faircloth began having problems in the seventh, the coach told him to turn it loose. "Old-timers say throw it, don't aim it,'' Smith said. "I think in a nutshell he made up his mind that was what he was going to do.''
Clayton 100 000 0 - 1 4 1
Cape Fear 200 000 x - 2 2 1
Phillips and Creech. Fairlcoth and Johnson. W - Faircloth (7-3). L - Phillips.

The Workforce Information Council helps guide the development and improvement of the nationwide workforce and labor market information system. This system provides information on labor market trends and conditions, job outlook and wages, skill requirements of jobs, and a wide variety of other information that helps customers make decisions about their businesses, careers, training, and job search.
At this web site you can find information about the Council and its activities, about the workforce information system and about how to access workforce and labor market information for your local area, state, or the nation.
Information about the workforce, labor market, and careers in your local area, state, and the nation can be located by going to the workforce information portal.
Workforce Information Council to Meet on July 24-25 in Denver, Colorado
The Colorado Department of Labor & Employment will host the Workforce Information Council (WIC) federal and state members in Denver, Colorado for the Council's meeting on July 24-25, 2013. WIC Co-Chairs Thomas Nardone/BLS and Rebecca Rust/FL will lead the WIC agenda for the two day meeting.
The WIC has had a couple of departures from the membership since the February meeting - Dixie Sommers of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (who retired in late June after a career in both federal and state public service and also served as the first Executive Director to the WIC until 2006) and Iowa member Dr. Jude Igbokwe who has left the state agency.
A variety of topics are planned for the agenda. The council will discuss actions by the various policy councils from the BLS State Cooperative programs. Other topics on the agenda for the late July meeting include: Updating the Workforce Information System Plan for 2014; WIC Study Group Reports from the Customer Consultation, High Tech Taxonomy, and, Administrative Wage Records Enhancement; and, reports from key system partners (BLS, ETA, NASWA, C2ER, and Census/LED). The guest speaker will be Natalie Mullis, Chief Economist of the Colorado General Assembly, who will talk about how she uses LMI in her job.
WIC Technology Study Group Report
The Technology Study Group was chartered in November 2010 and is chaired by Todd Younkin of MT. The WIC Study Group has assisted the Workforce Information Council and state workforce information departments by promoting enhancements in the dissemination and use of the labor market information for a full range of customer groups through strategic application of technology.
The Study Group has helped recommend cost-effective and sustainable technology options to help states avoid undue duplication of effort for the workforce information system generally and the Workforce Information Council, particularly for the benefit of the state LMI offices. The Study Group has produced two reports - a Workforce Information System Technology Review issued in November 2009 and Report on the LMI Technology Forum held May 2011.
Released in February 2013, the WIC Technology Study Group issued the Report on the 2012 LMI Technology Survey, State LMI Office Use of Technology for Delivering Information. This report found that State LMI offices recognize that the Internet has changed the way the world gets its information and, as information providers, they have not kept pace with the changes in Internet-based technologies that have evolved in recent years. But they are not standing idle.
No fewer than nine states said they were in the process of redesigning and rebuilding their core LMI website, with many planned for launch in 2013. Many others said they would be developing dashboards, implementing interactive maps, working on data visualizations, implementing responsive web design, and exploring web services. Their plans include adding social media, interactive graphing, user customizable widgets, rotating slideshows of services, user registration, RSS feeds, icon-driven menus, mobile applications, script-based feeds and training videos. These actions provide the opportunity for states to share knowledge and resources to advance the information delivery effectiveness of the entire nationwide LMI system.
The report contains summaries of findings in topic areas covered by the 2012 LMI Technology Survey: Collecting User Feedback; Assessing LMI Users; LMI Website Development; Organization of Website Content; Website Features and Functionality; User Access to Data and Analysis Tools; User Customization and Communication; Web-Based LMI Dissemination and Marketing; Visual, Verbal, Interactive and Dynamic LMI; Social Media Policy; LMI Website Responsive to Mobile Devices; Mobile LMI Applications; and, Other Tools and Technologies in Use.

Oregon Job Vacancy Survey Results
With the various discussions by economists, educators, and labor market analysts as to whether there is a skills gap, skill mismatch, or skills shortage, the Oregon Employment Department has released a report on job vacancies in their state in July 2013 titled, Two Fifths of Oregon's Job Vacancies are Difficult to Fill. They report that more than two-fifths (44%) of Oregon's job vacancies in fall 2012 were reported by employers as "difficult to fill."
Major findings about Oregon's difficult-to-fill job vacancies include: Difficult-to-fill vacancies are more likely to require education beyond high school and much more likely to require previous work experience; Difficult-to-fill vacancies offer higher wages on average than vacancies that weren't reported as difficult to fill; The most common reasons employers cited for difficulty filling positions were: Unfavorable working conditions (18%); Lack of qualified candidates (18%); Lack of applicants (14%); and, Lack of work experience (13%).
Employers are looking for the "right" combination of education and experience for unique roles within their companies. This may provide a more difficult training challenge than if companies were looking for a large number of employees with essentially identical skills.
The education levels for which employers had the most difficulty were positions requiring associate degrees and positions requiring graduate degrees.
Health care had by far the most vacancies reported as difficult to fill. Manufacturing and trade, transportation, and utilities were also more likely to have difficulty filling vacancies.
More details are available and the complete report from the Oregon Employment Department, www.QualityInfo.org.
Customer Consultation Study Group Customer Focus Groups
Building upon work already completed through the report LMI Customers and Their Needs: Customer-Oriented LMI Product Innovation and the ForeSee Results website project, the Workforce Information Council (WIC) seeks to gather qualitative data about specific customers' uses of various LMI products and services. This assessment will also explore why potential customers may not use certain LMI products and identify LMI products and services that customers need but that are not generally available from public sources. To accomplish this, the Customer Consultation Study Group (CCSG) will work with the LMI Institute to conduct a series of in-depth focus groups with customer groups. In addition, the project will include a listening session with selected LMI Directors to discuss internal efforts within states to address concerns expressed during the focus group sessions.
A committee has been formed by the CCSG for this project. Committee members include: Sue Mukherjee (PA LMI Director and CCSG Chair); Rebecca Rust (FL LMI Director & WIC State Co-Chair); Anthony Dais (Employment and Training Administration); Frank Waligorski (Bureau of Labor Statistics); Steven Jost (Census Bureau); Don Wehbey (NASWA); Ron Kelly (C2ER LMI Institute); and, Gary Crossley (WIC).
The committee has tasked the LMI Institute to conduct focus groups with nationally representative samples of the following customer group types: Economic development professionals; Workforce intermediaries; and, Educators.
LMI Institute staff is currently working with national associations to establish appropriate opportunities for focus groups during national meetings or conferences and/or to engage in outreach for web-based focus groups. In addition, an initial LMI Director listening session was conducted at the BLS LMI Directors Conference this June in Atlanta, GA.
Workforce Information Portal
The Workforce Information Portal is an on-line resource, providing customers with a one-stop access point to workforce information sources on the web. The portal provides quick access to state on-line workforce information and career information sites, as well as national resources. This one-stop access point is especially important to customers who want information from more than one state, or are not sure where to go to get information for their state or locality.
The portal gives the customer different avenues to web resources: by type of customer (individuals, businesses, and researchers), by geography, or by agency. The site is at www.workforceinformation.org.

Whistler, British Columbia
Riverside Resort
[ 9/10 ]
Visited over Easter weekend with my family plus the in-laws in their motorhome. Beautiful weather keyed a fabulous time for all. Sunny warm days at the campground plus decent snow on the mountain made all the difference. Access to the park was good, site was level and water was on which was nice. The daily shuttle service to the base of the ski area was helpful. On Easter Sunday the park hosted a nice egg hunt, which my kids loved. Already planning at least one ski weekend there for next year.
Leavenworth, Washington
Lake Wenatchee State Park
[ 6/10 ]
We were only able to book a standard back-in campsite with no hookups, so access was a bit tight. For us, the ideal campsite would have been in the South loop where the main beach and play areas were. Park was clean and every site was full, which is typical for a WA state park on a summer weekend. We'll go back, but we'll do a better job of picking a site which will make a huge impact on my family's fun.
Chelan, Washington
Lake Chelan State Park
[ 10/10 ]
We had great weather for our weekend in June at Lake Chelan SP. Our full hookup site was easy to back into, completely level and backed up to a large playfield with new playground equipment. My entire family had a great time relaxing and playing on the beach here. These are the best RV sites I've seen at a state park and the location around the lake is as beautiful as it gets. Access roads if you bypass Chelan can be a bit rough.
Olympic National Park, Washington
Kalaloch (NPS Campground)
[ 10/10 ]
A waterfront site at Kalaloch is just about my favorite thing on earth. This year we had a pull-thru site which meant our camper door faced the water. It also provided significant privacy. Don't expect level-sites or easy access (you should already know about the lack of hookups, lack of good cell coverage and remote location) and you won't be disappointed upon arrival. Rangers were very visible at the park, checking registrations, speaking with disruptive campers and drumming up attendees for the ranger programs.
Crater Lake National Park, Oregon
Mazama Village (NPS Campground)
[ 6/10 ]
Crater Lake is a fantastic place to visit and Mazama is an ok place to lay your head while you're in the park. The sites are large and color coded (just make sure you pay attention to that... I speak from experience as someone who had to move after unhooking). The camp store is nearby and well-stocked. This is not a campground I'd seek out as a destination, but I'll definitely be back the next time we visit Crater Lake. It's remote location and allowance of camp fires made for a happy wife, which made my life much easier...
Bend, Oregon
Thousand Trails - Bend/Sunriver
[ 8/10 ]
This park is a few miles outside Sunriver and +- 20 minutes away from Bend. We were in a site near the front of the park which meant quick access to the pool, a playground and the store/lodge. All the amenities were nice. My kids particularly enjoyed the movie night and swimming pool. Nearby attractions include the Newberry Volcanic Monument and High Desert Museum, both of which were hits with the kids. My wife and I were disappointed by the burn ban, but that's what we get for camping east of the cascades during August. This park wasn't nice enough to convince me to join TT, but I'd go back and pay retail again.
Chehalis, Washington
Lewis & Clark State Park
[ 6/10 ]
We stayed here for an overnight stop on our way from Seattle to Bend. Several sites were available on Friday night at 9PM. There was a ranger patrolling during our arrival which was nice to see at such a small park. Really liked the dense tree cover, the day use area seemed nice and overall this seemed to be a great no-reservation park for a quick getaway or stop-over.
Hammond, Oregon
Astoria / Warrenton / Seaside KOA
[ 9/10 ]
We were really pleased with our stay here. A deluxe site near the store and pool building made for a great stay. Our site was paved, had nice grass and tree cover for shade. Our kids (3 & 5) had a blast at the pool and insisted on the free pancakes each day. This park is adjacent to Ft Stevens, which has great beach access and biking trails that we really enjoy. We'll definitely be back.

Herschel Walker is starting a new career in mixed martial arts.
The 47-year-old former NFL running back said Monday that he has signed a multi-fight contract with promoter Strikeforce. Walker will begin a 12-week training camp next month in San Jose, Calif., with the American Kickboxing Academy.
The 1982 Heisman Trophy winner already holds a fifth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
"I've been training for several years," Walker said in a statement. "I would play college football games on Saturday and then compete in martial arts tournaments on Sunday after church I'm now looking forward to opening up another chapter in my life and to competing in MMA."
In 12 NFL seasons — playing for the Cowboys, Vikings, Eagles and Giants — he made the Pro Bowl twice.
Walker has already had athletic success outside of football, making the two-man bobsled team at 1992 Winter Olympics. He finished seventh.
"I flew to L.A. last month to watch Herschel train and was surprised to see his advanced wrestling and striking abilities," Strikeforce founder and CEO Scott Coker said in a statement. "He's got work ahead of him, but he's committed to training at one of the most notable gyms in the sport of MMA so it will be very interesting to watch him progress."

And you know what? I can manage that for one thing because my online persona is a pen-name.
An anonymity, if you will.
If you really care about my real name, you can find it pretty easily--I mention it in my online bio on my web page--but I don't require or even urge that you do (or urge that you don't). Online I am the known entity, the writer Kate Elliott. People who know me know who is behind the writing name, and people who don't know me but know the books know the writing name, which is as much "me" as any other name would be.
But there was a time, when the pen name was first getting launched, where I was sworn to secrecy because my new publisher did not want any association between my new name and my "old" one (I had published a couple of novels under another name; they hadn't sold well; I was being given a new life as a new author with a new name). I even had to attend several sff conventions and PRETEND that my real name was Kate. In fact, one time, Josepha Sherman called "Kate!" across a table to get my attention and I answered automatically and as unthinkingly as if it were my real name. Weird. Actually, it made us all laugh (because everyone at that table was already in on the joke).
But I digress.
The point is, there was a time when it mattered professionally for me to keep my real name secret. The relaunching of authors under new names is still done, and sometimes writers can be open about it and sometimes publishers ask them to keep it quiet so that the chain bookstores will not order according to the numbers posted by their "old" auctorial names.
So out of my own personal experience, I feel strongly that there can be good reasons for seeking pseudonymity on the internet. Additionally, I admit I have come to prefer the step-back, the sense that I have a public persona and a private one. Is this cowardly of me? I dunno; maybe; so what? As an individual, I've always had a public persona and a part of me held aside; as I said, I'm a pretty reserved person although I hope I am friendly and kind.
On live journal many people use pseudonyms, and I totally respect that. I don't care why they use them. That's their business, not mine. I am "acquainted with" (online friendly with) people whose real names I don't know but whose lj handles I do know. For me, that's just like someone having a nickname. A name in that context still points to a person who is a known quantity, based on (in this case) an online presence I've interacted with or read through for months or even years.
I have cherished friends I met online before I met them "in the flesh"--and it doesn't matter whether I met them online with a real name or with a pseudonymous nickname (which also begs the question: what is a "real" name, anyway, beyond the legal issues involved?). It doesn't matter to me what name I come to know them under. If their preference is to remain known pseudonymously, then cool. And I say that having, on two awful occasions, inadvertently outed a pen name when I wasn't supposed to (hopefully too briefly or in too small a venue for it to have any lasting effect); to this day, the memories of those two occasions still leave me curdling with shame.
I do draw the line at sock puppets or fly-by anonymous posting, but that's the same as anywhere, of course. If I don't know someone at all in any context and they come tearing through--no matter where--I'm likely to at best reserve judgment and more likely to discount or ignore them. But that's not at all the same as pseudonymity with a regular handle, someone who you know where they hang out and you have a history with reading or interacting with them.
I am seriously against outing. I mean, srsly. Of course I am.

Risk factors
By Mayo Clinic staffFactors that stress your arteries and increase the risk of injury, buildup of plaques and disease include the following:
- High blood pressure. High blood pressure is an important risk factor for carotid artery disease. Excess pressure on the walls of your arteries can weaken them and leave them more vulnerable to damage.
- Smoking. Nicotine can irritate the inner lining of your arteries. It also increases your heart rate and blood pressure.
- Age. As you age, your arteries become less elastic and more prone to injury.
- Abnormal blood-fat levels. High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol, and high levels of triglycerides, a blood fat, encourage the accumulation of plaques.
- Diabetes. Diabetes affects not only your ability to handle glucose appropriately but also your ability to process fats efficiently, placing you at greater risk of high blood pressure and atherosclerosis.
- Obesity. Carrying excess pounds increases your chances of high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and diabetes.
- Heredity. Having a family history of atherosclerosis or coronary artery disease increases your risk of developing these conditions, as well.
- Physical inactivity. Lack of exercise contributes to a number of conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
Often, these risk factors occur together, creating even greater risk than if they occur alone.

Free Concert
Music Matters! November 1, 2007 MacArthur High School Auditorium The Metropolitan Winds is hosting a Free Concert for Irving ISD students, staff, and community on Thursday, November 1, 2007 at MacArthur High School Auditorium. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. The music will be quite varied and will keep the interest of the young and the "not-so-young" alike. This will not be a formal concert - no tuxedos on the stage; it will be a family event. Come as you are and enjoy the music! |
The Metropolitan Winds is a non-profit, all
volunteer wind band that typically performs at the Meyerson Symphony
Center in Dallas. Music Matters is a community outreach project of the
group to bring concert experiences to families and to encourage music
programs (band, choral, orchestra) as electives for students regardless
of previous exposure. Music is a life-long elective -- not just one
through High School. We look forward to playing for Irving ISD since Irving ISD has hosted our rehearsal space for several years. Rehearsing at MacArthur has even allowed a few exceptional Irving ISD high school band students (from all 3 high schools over the years) to play with us -- usually for the Summer Concert since they are so active during the school year. Please join us if you can. |

"Children are a gift from God, a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is His reward..."
Street Report Feb 6 - 11, 2012
> 4147 Babies saved since January 2000 !
Death Toll February 6-11, 2012
"Rescuing babies, saving lives, one heart at a time" Reporting from the war zone, the killing fields of Granite City, Illinois Once known for their towering steel mills, now known for the late-term baby dumping mill. Casualty Count: Over 400,000 mother-child relationships in their 38 year reign of terror
Monday- Bag n' Tag approx 70 babies were bagged and tagged for medical research, pharmaceutical labs, and cosmetic firms from the past week's carnage.
1 save We were still feeling the aftershocks of our Super Bowl commercials on television. The best response came in at 4:00 a.m. this morning. Read: "SUPER BOWL AD SAVES BABY..the best comment came at 4 a.m."
Tuesday- midnight abortions approx 25 killed CT, KS, MO, IL 3 saves on-site ultrasound.
The sun was shining but it was bitterly cold as Stan and Judy joined our ranks. The seminarians soon accompanied us. While attempting to quickly set up with one arm, God soon began blessing our prayers and efforts. I opened the door looking for help, and there Daniel and Stan stood with a young lady who had tears running down her face. Daniel explained that this young girl needed my help. He quickly brought her inside the Ultrasound Van. As I calmed her down and proceeded to get information from her, Daniel finished setting up the equipment. Giving us privacy, he went outside to join Stan and Judy.
Shondra tearfully told me her plight. She was there to kill her baby. Unfortunately, she wasn't sure if it was her husband's. "I made a foolish, foolish mistake. And I don't know if I can handle this." I squeezed her hand and said, "That's not true. With God you can handle anything. Babies are not mistakes." I asked her if she had any other children. "Two," she replied. "Thirteen and six." "Perfect," I answered. "They can help with this one." "But I don't know if I can handle this." Again I told her, "We can not do anything on our own power, but when we take it to the throne, God says to hang on; He will carry us." I quickly scanned. There, nestled in her womb, lay an approximate 7 week old baby. We could make out the orbits of his eyes, his little framework, and tiny, tiny fingers as he floated in an ocean of amniotic fluid.
I pleaded this baby's case, begging mercy for its precious life. For over an hour I fought. After going over everything and listening, I gave her the hard truth, telling her what they would do to her baby inside there. I asked her, "Are you still going to go inside there and execute that baby?" She sat up, and I promised to walk with her through this stressful and emotional time if I could buy some time for this baby. She needed to relieve herself.
I went outside and asked the prayer warriors to pray for this situation; it did not look good. Shondra then came out. I looked her in the eyes and asked her, "What are you going to do?" She took the literature out of my hand and replied, "I'm going to sit in my truck and think." I put my arms around her, giving her the tightest hug, and whispered in her ear, "God loves you and so do I, but He especially loves that baby and has a plan for its life." I told her that she is a strong woman and God wouldn't give her anything that she couldn't handle. Shondra thanked me and slowly walked to her truck. Stan, Judy, Daniel, and I gathered and bowed our heads to pray. She started to back up, but pulled back in. Our hearts sank. Shondra sat there for a few minutes as we continued to pray.
Suddenly, she turned the engine on, slowly backing out, and told Daniel to meet her in the alley where she rolled the window down and confirmed, "I'm going home. Tell Miss Angela thank you. I'll be in touch." She accepted the gas money we gave her and thanked Daniel before pulling out of the alley. We began praising and thanking Jesus, praying that He would give her peace and clear wisdom.
We no sooner were re-grouping when two girls from Kansas came back out. They pulled onto the street where Judy met them. Rolling the window down, they, too, confirmed that they were keeping their baby. She was advanced in her pregnancy; we could see her large baby bump. They thanked us and left.
After praying some more, a Missouri couple came out. The man and woman also confirmed that they were not going through with their abortion, but were keeping their child. They thanked us for being there.
After our third save, Judy and Stan accompanied me to help deliver baby supplies to a young mother and her baby. She brought the baby to me and I was able to hold this little cherub-faced save. He actually smiled at me when I told him how precious he was. We are so blessed to be able to see the fruits of our labors and to help this mother and baby thrive in this apathetic society. Thank you Lord!
Wednesday- CLOSED Another baby saved! 1 save We received word and a wonderful testimony from a young lady in Texas, who saw our video and saved her unborn baby. PTL! Read "Another Baby Saved, Small Victories Knows No Boundaries"
Thursday- CLOSED
Friday- approx 16 killed KS, IN, MO, IL Cold, and dreary rain. It's no fun standing in the cold, let alone cold rain, but someone has to do it. Black History month was off to a deplorable start in Granite City, as many more black Americans were marching inside this extermination center and making their predestined babies…HISTORY! With every surgical abortion, the black race is inching closer to extinction. Just exactly what the socialist agenda and Margaret Sanger founder of Planned Parenthood wanted for the black race. To be extinct.
Saturday- approx 27 killed IN, MO, IL. 3 saves Bitterly, cold as an arctic front came through with an inch of snow on the ground in some places, BRRR. As we slowly set up outreach. BAM! All the sudden cars began pouring onto the frozen parking lot. We softly pleaded for the precious humanity growing in their wombs, arrggh! A gust of cold wind pierced our exposed faces. All for the cause. When the front spots filled up they came in from all sides. A Laclede cab from St. Louis pulled onto the lot; shamelessly a "Our Lady of Guadalupe" sign adorned the top of the cab. You hypocrite! You bring a passenger to kill her unborn baby with the "patroness of the unborn" sign on top of your vehicle. Shame on Laclede cab! Boycott them. Hit em' in their pockets. Here is the number to call 1-314-652-3456.
More arrogance celebrating black history month as a three pack of big mouth girls walked up to the slaughterhouse, the pregnant one was in the middle the loud mouth was on the end pulling her friend in to kill her baby. Loud mouth did all the talking as we offer other options. "Oh hell no, we will do want we want", loud mouth yelled at our offers." Do you mothers know you are here?" "We can do what we want!" she screamed. More rebellion. "Anyways, it ain't even formed" she yelled. (Referring to the unborn baby). "Oh really?" We asked her, "Aren't you glad your mother didn't feel that way about you? " They eventually went inside. After they dumped their pregnant friend off, the other two went off to get some breakfast. Shame. More black history being destroyed through abortion.
Throughout the frigid morning we confirmed three babies saved, including Amber, 7 weeks pregnant from Missouri. They accepted our literature and quickly got into their car. The bitterly cold weather works against us. Most girls just run to get inside the slaughterhouse, out of the conditions, and if they change their mind on the abortion, they are running to their cars to get away. A young couple from Missouri pulled on to the lot with their bumper a blaze with Ron Paul stickers. He may be prolife, but these supporters are not. Shame.
Approx 68 babies killed, 8 babies saved, 4,147 saves since January 2000 and 42 babies have been adopted through Small Victories
Wow! What an intense and exciting and encouraging week. So many conversations and controversy. Many hearts touched and conscious's pricked, and lives saved.
Someone who hates you normally hates you for one of three reasons: They either see
you as a threat. They hate themselves. Or they want to be you.
"Those who love me, I will deliver: I will protect those who know my name. When they call to me, I will answer them: I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honor them.
Psalms 91:14-15
Be encouraged ~Angela

My 2008 unibody Macbook Pro has a loose screen. Loose and wobbly and drunken at times. It's been chugging along loyally for over three years, and in Internet time, it's like a Regis Philbin. But as we all know, old folks can get wobbly. No shame in that — but it happens.
The whole screen/monitor (the part that flips up) developed about 2 cm of back-and-forth play, and it felt like perhaps the hinge was loose. Still usable, but definitely putting a dent in my Macbook's sexy. Google didn't proffer any good solutions, so I decided to dive into the unknown and try exploratory surgery on my Mac.
It turns out the fix is pretty straightforward. You just need the right tools and about an hour.
HEY: Attempt this at your own risk. Don't try it if you suck at fixing stuff.
1. Remove the screen using the iFixit guide
The first step is to remove the screen from the Macbook body. It might sound morbid, but don't worry: There's a great guide for doing this on iFixit.
Before you start, make sure you have these tools:
- #00 Philips screwdriver
- T6 Torx driver
- Spudger (optional but handy)
Hint: I found a cheap hobby kit that has both the tiny screwdriver and Torx bits you'll need. iFixit sells their own (nicer) kit for a bit more. There are many other kits for sale at various price points.
2. Tighten the hinge screws
Once you've separated the screen from the body, we can get at the little bastards causing the wobble.
Check out the black plastic sleeve that covers the hinge stuff. You don't need to remove it completely, but to loosen it, slide it to the right. That sort of unlocks it, and you can then pry it up a little to see the hinge screws.
The two silver Torx screws you've exposed love freedom and have worked themselves loose in an attempt to escape the burdens of life inside a hot-ass laptop. With your T6 Torx, show them your oppressive nature with a good tightening. For extra credit, terrorize those screws with some thread lock.
On the other side of the hinge thingy, there is an identical pair of Torx screws that will also require tightening. Pull up the black plastic sleeve and crank those down, too.
3. Replace the sleeve and reassemble
Replace the black sleeve by working it back into place, and sliding it left so that it locks as before. You're now ready to replace the screen and reassemble your laptop. Follow the iFixit instructions in reverse to put Humpty Dumpty back together.
BAM! Your Mac feels tight and sexy again, like when it was in its Internet twenties. Good job (unless you screwed something up).
Did this work for you? Got additional tips? Leave a comment and help others!

UFC 152: Jones vs. Belfort Bold Predictions
Wipe away the cobwebs and shake off rust because Saturday is UFC 152 and that means its fight week. It's been nearly six weeks since the Octagon saw any action and for the UFC that's an eternity. UFC 152 brings the promotion back to Canada for the second time in 2012, this time they are in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre.
Headlining the UFC 152 fight card is the man who was supposed to headline the UFC 151 fight card, UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. After being relocated to the Toronto card Jones was originally slated to face Lyoto Machida but that would quickly be changed to Vitor Belfort. Many aren't giving Belfort a chance in hell against the "new phenom" but he'll look to make the most out of this opportunity.
The original main event, which will now serve as the co-main event will be the flyweight title fight between Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson. The winner of the mini-tournament will go down in UFC history as the promotions first ever 125 lbs. champion. Benavidez defeated Yasuhiro Urushitani by 2nd round TKO, while Johnson defeated Ian McCall twice, though technically their first bout was later tabulated and ruled a draw.
Leading into the two title fights will be a middleweight bout between Ultimate Fighter winner Michael Bisping taking on Brian Stann. Their polar opposites in personalities has forced Bisping to focus his trash talking towards other fighters but he better pay attention to Stann on Saturday.
The UFC 152 card will begin with the preliminaries on Facebook.com and FX before the main card airs on PPV. It's been a while but after going 7-3 on the UFC 150 predictions we are now 135-99 (57.7%) overall.

Harper Blaine was your average small-time PI until she died — for
two minutes. Now Harper is a Greywalker, treading the thin line between
the living world and the paranormal realm. And she's discovering that
her new abilities are landing her all sorts of "strange" cases.
quarter century ago, the Seawitch cruised away from her dock and
disappeared with everyone on board. Now, the boat has mysteriously
returned to her old berth in Seattle and the insurance company has hired
Harper to find out what happened.
But Harper is
not the only one investigating. Seattle Police Detective Rey Solis is a
good cop, albeit one who isn't comfortable with the creepy cases that
always seem to end up in Harper's lap. As they explore the abandoned
vessel, Harper and Solis discover a cabin containing symbols drawn in
human blood, revealing the ghost ship's grave history.
Solis focuses on the possible murder of a passenger's wife, Harper's
investigation leads her to a powerful being who may be responsible for
the disappearance of the Seawitch's passengers and crew. And while their
searches lead Harper and Solis in different directions, they will need
to put aside their differences to solve a deadly mystery twenty-five
years in the making…
