Re: Baby Boomers is Thailand missing the boat?
I am a retired military from canada that finds right now that my pension and a small business that i left in canada pay me well here so i do not have to worry about canada.
I do not live in the tourist area i am in Rangsit. Right now i am just getting settled so i have to make trips to Bangkok for medical and other reasons but i either just take a cab in or i stay at a 3 star that cost 26 bucks.
I have started to understand that you have to eat Thai my question is does your wife work and what do youdo with your time i find that is getting to be a bit of a challenge and am thinking of teaching english just to kill time and help the community.
Also any suggestions on where a newbie to morotcycles can get a good deal on a learning bike. Trucks were mything back in canada but I do nto have the money to buy a truck yet and am saving for my 800,000 for 2012 as the pension is not that big.

ONE SHOT: A few doses of a new vaccine may confer protection against a variety of bird flu strains.

Every winter the seasonal flu vaccine gets reformulated. The World Health Organization recommends which viruses to put into the vaccine to impart immunity against the strains that are considered most likely to spread. For example, this year's vaccination cocktail will include the antigens isolated from flu strains first spotted in the Solomon Islands, Wisconsin and Malaysia. This continual updating results from the flu virus's ability to mutate in response to the human body's immune defenses. This ability to mutate and spread quickly also lurks at the core of pandemic fears surrounding bird flu, but a new vaccine formulation tested in ferrets and human blood appears to confer protection against a variety of mutated avian influenzas.
Researchers from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) at the IX International Symposium on Respiratory Viral Infections in Hong Kong this week revealed that a new vaccine that had previously proved effective in protecting people against a strain of H5N1 bird flu from Vietnam also protected them from another bird flu variant isolated in Indonesia. "These two strains, when evaluated for antigenic relatedness, showed an eight- to 16-fold difference for a reference antiserum," says Bruce Innis, vice president and director of clinical research and development and medical affairs at GSK Biologicals. In other words, the vaccine protected the blood from 400 volunteers from two very different strains of bird flu.
Most vaccines only work against the virus they are specifically designed to fight. "When you get vaccinated with a flu vaccine, your antibody response tends to be narrowly directed at the virus that was targeted by the vaccine," explains John Treanor, an immunologist at the University of Rochester. "When we're vaccinating against pandemic flu, with no prior exposure, you would expect the response to be narrowly focused." Yet, in blood tests, the GSK vaccine effectively neutralized both the Vietnamese and Indonesian strains.
Further tests in ferrets showed that a propriety adjuvant system—extra agents such as aluminum salts in a vaccine that enhance its effectiveness—may be behind the effect. Animals given the Vietnam vaccine without the adjuvants died after being exposed to the Indonesian strain. "All of the control animals died and the great majority [(22 out of 23)] of the vaccinated animals survived," Innis says. "Is it the adjuvant system that is producing the protective effect? In our view, the answer is yes."
Exactly how the adjuvant system works remains a mystery as well—even more so because GSK will not reveal what adjuvant system it used, revealing only that there are 25 new adjuvants being analyzed. "Does it somehow cause a whole new spectrum of shapes on the surface proteins of the flu virus to be recognized? Or does it increase the amplitude of the immune response?" Innis asks. "Those tests haven't been done yet, but effects that are present at very low doses with the adjuvant system are almost completely absent at eight times that dose without the adjuvant system." Its effectiveness is clear: the immune response in human blood was 25 times stronger with the adjuvant present than without it.
This raises the prospect that the new vaccine could cut down on the amount of antigen required to manufacture it as well as confer broader protection—without the need for reformulation. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has already contracted with GSK for $40 million worth of antigens to the Indonesian strain with an option to purchase the mysterious adjuvant system, too. This could lead to the ability to stockpile an effective vaccine against the much-feared potential bird flu pandemic. As Treanor says: "Since you don't know which one, if any, of the bird flu strains might emerge as the pandemic strain, there is some advantage in an antibody that might be able to affect members of multiple strains."
Innis adds: "We know that the job of flu vaccine is to protect against not only what you put in the vaccine but also things that might occur in the future because [evolution] is ongoing."

The Mists of Avalon
Sunday, December 27th, 2009At my suggestion, our daughter Emma read Marian Zimmer Bradley's epic feminist reframingAt my suggestion, our daughter Emma at age 14 read Marian Zimmer Bradley's epic feminist reframing of the oft-told Arthurian legend and was profoundly affected and inspired by its story, scope, and deeply drawn heroic but flawed characters. It was a much more sophisticated tale than most, because it was not about good and evil (with characters falling obviously into one of those two categories), but rather a story where a number of compelling characters wrestled with doing their duty and following their heart in a highly challenging transitional and high-stakes context.

Just did day 1 of 30 day shred. Owww! My knees are like jelly. But I plan on making through all 30 days. I have not been doing any exercise except some walking, so this kicked my butt.
How long before you moved up to level 2, and then level 3?
How are you tracking this in exercise?
I have taken measurements today, so I am excited to see where I'll be at day 30!
I imagine tomorrow will be tough, but I'm hoping it gets better after a few days!
A year from now you will look back and wish you had started today.

I did 10 days at each level, then moved on to Ripped in 30 - which is one week x4 levels.
I don't track my exercise here - I have a bodymedia fit. I weigh in the 130s and only burn 110-120 calories w/ Jillian Michaels. Not sure why it is that low. I have started rotating it with zumba in the mornings and then doing a regular 30-60 minutes of cardio or weight training in the evening. I'm trying to get rid of my last 20 lbs. so I have increased everything. I did take measurements and definitely feel like I have more defined muscle tone - especially my abs and core!

That is a pretty tough work out but stay with it and you will see pretty quick results! I did Jillian's routines a couple of years ago BUT I did not do them 30 days in a row. I did them every other day or so. Work past the soreness and you'll be fine. Also - stay at Level 1 until you reach a state where Level 1 does not feel very challenging any more. Levels 2 & 3 have some moves that scared me as far as INJURY is concerned. I worried that I would twist something!

I started working out with her about a month ago, I'm developing quite a healthy hatred for Jillian, but she knows what she's talking about! I log her workouts as Circuit Training for 20 mins. It took me about 15 days to get to level two, (I hurt my ankles and had to take some time away from it). Just started level three yesterday, I couldn't make it through the whole video, so I just mixed some moves from level 2 in with it.

I have been doing The Shred 3 days a week for 2 weeks. Still at level 1, but today I got through the whole thing no problem. I will most likely stay on level 1 next week too, then move on to level 2. I have never really done workout video's before, but I'm really liking it!
I started it on June 4th and have lost 4 pounds in two weeks!

I think i'm going to pick up this video. I work all day and have a son i want to go home and spend time with. Going to the gym is so hard. I live in a very hilly area so if it's not raining i walk with him. But It would be great to have this video to do when he goes to bed!

Posted 4:35 PM 12/24/2012 : Christmas greetings at TIA
TUCSON-In the spirit of things, some families are finding creative ways to bring the Christmas joy to the airport as their loved ones arrive.
There's the usual arrival lounge at TIA with those anxiously waiting for the plane carrying their loved ones to arrive, and then you have the Schlabach and Martins.
They're anxiously waiting, too.
Each year they plan a special Christmas greeting for their loved ones as they arrive to the airport.
This year, chicken, elf and Santa hats and Christmas cheer all around.
Laura Schlabach is arriving from Texas to visit her family for the holidays.
She didn't expect this greeting from her family.
"It's embarrassing in the best way. I think it's so ridiculous that it brings a little bit of joy to everyone who sees it," she said.
She goes to school out of state and is happy to be home for Christmas.
"It's really special. My family just moved back. I grew up here and they just moved back, so I was looking forward to being here," said Schlabach.
She said the surprise greeting makes even more special.
"I think it's really fun," she said.
Schlabach said most of the family is spread out across the country, so every time they come home for a few days, they surprise them with something fun.

Scott orders flags at half-staff for deputy killed
Gov. Scott orders flags at half-staff for St. Lucie County deputy killed on duty
Published On: Mar 04 2013 02:50:23 PM EST
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Gov. Rick Scott has directed that all state and U.S. flags be flown at half-staff in St. Lucie County in honor of a deputy killed on duty.
Scott issued the order for Monday. The flags that are to be flown at half-staff are at the County Courthouse, City Hall in Port St. Lucie and at the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office in Fort Pierce.
St. Lucie County Deputy Sheriff Sgt. Gary Morales was shot and killed on Thursday while making a traffic stop. His funeral is scheduled for Monday.

As a parent I am convinced that getting a pet for your children is more than an act of love. Who really wants to take care of another pooping thing, particularly one not the same species? When we are encouraged (pushed) by a child to get a pet, we hesitate because we know that the addition to the household will incrementally increase poop, throw up and pee. While darling animals charm us, we get that gut feeling that we soon will be making a wrong decision. What is practical about bringing a creature into our family that has even a more difficult time than our children to grasp the concept of "acceptable behavior"?
The British love their dogs and appear to have a respectful relationship with them. They seem to be able to love and care for their pets with grace. Pets of the royal family join in walks at home and sometimes hunt and travel with the family.
Queen Elizabeth's father, King George VI, gave his daughters a Corgi. "Dookie" was popular in their family and was described as "unquestionably the character of the Princesses' delightful canine family" and a "born sentimentalist." Wow, I would like that to be said and felt about a human I know! Such a thought might be-"Uncle George is the character of the family. George is a born sentimentalist and provides, if you will, the positive emotional glue in our family."
Dogs are cherished by the Royal Family and have been given as valued presents to mark a rite of passage. The Queen received a Corgi named Susan for her 18th birthday. The tradition of keeping Corgis continues today. She now owns four; Holly, Linnet, Monty and Willow.
How can we hope to achieve such a graceful existence with our pets? Do the Brits think such things out more clearly before they commit to such a decision? Are plans put into place to accommodate the change? What happens when mom or dad, caught after nightly prayers with one of the kids is beseeched (yes I said it) with that look and request for an animal? I remember it took two months of nightly prayers to get my horse.
Well, I can tell you the tradition our family has enjoyed with our pets. Royal chaos!

Keystone College Policies
Keystone College is committed to a healthful environment for all members of its community. One concern of the College is that of health hazards caused by use of tobacco products, as well as exposure to secondhand smoke. Keystone College supports the Pennsylvania Clean Indoor Air Act of 1988 in its attempt "to protect the public health and to provide for the comfort of all parties by regulating and controlling smoking." Therefore, Keystone College has created a smoking policy to help create the healthy environment it desires.
POLICY: In order to provide all members of its community with a healthy environment, Keystone College has adopted the following smoking policy:
- There will be no tobacco use in any Keystone College facility at any time.
- There will be no tobacco use in any Keystone College's owned-vehicle at any time.
- The sale of tobacco products on campus is prohibited.
- Smoking or the use of tobacco products on College grounds will be prohibited, except in areas marked "Designated Smoking Area."
DEFINITION OF SMOKING / TOBACCO USE: Smoking includes the burning of any type of cigar, cigarette, pipe, or any other smoking equipment, whether filled with tobacco or any other material. Smokeless/Chewing tobacco is also included in this list. Four (4) "designated smoking areas" will be identified and clearly marked for tobacco use. The locations shall include: one near Moffat Hall and Commons; one near Frear/Reynolds and the Hibbard Campus Center; one behind Tewksbury and Hollinshead (Between Sickler and Alumni Halls); and one near Capwell/Harris/Ward Hall.
- All students will receive notice of the smoking policy at the beginning of each semester via the website, Student Handbook, newsletters, discussions, and/or handouts.
- Keystone College's Smoking Policy will be included in the Employee Handbook.
- All new employees will be verbally informed of Keystone College's smoking policy by the Director of Human Resources.
- Keystone College's Campus Safety officers will be in charge of issuing fines for violations of the College's Smoking Policy. However, supervisors, or other members of the College Community, may report violations to Campus Safety.
- A fine of $50 will be issued for each violation of Keystone College's Smoking Policy.
Visitors: Visitors are expected to comply with Keystone College's Smoking Policy.
Each student host is responsible for telling their visitors about the smoking policy and making sure their visitors abide by the policy. Violations of the policy by guests are also subject to the $50 fine.

Cypriot banks reopened their doors for the first time in nearly two weeks. But there was little sign of the expected rush to remove deposits. WSJ's Joe Parkinson suggested new capital controls may have helped to calm things down for now. Photo: Reuters
NICOSIA—Cyprus's banks reopened from a nearly two-week hiatus on Thursday with little sign of disorder among depositors, even as the country's politicians pointed fingers over who was to blame for the financial sector's meltdown.
Small groups of account-holders—typically numbering two dozen or less, and mostly retirees—pressed to enter the banks as they formally reopened at noon local time. Police and private security guards, under orders from Cyprus's central bank, limited entry to only a few people at a time, giving priority to seniors and leaving others waiting.
Katerina Stylianidou, 32 years old, said she searched all morning for a cash machine that would dispense the €300 ($390) daily maximum permitted under new capital-flight laws. Unsuccessful, she wound up waiting in line to enter a branch of Cyprus Popular Bank PCL, the country's second-biggest lender, which will be closed under the terms of an international bailout deal sealed early Monday.
"I have bills to pay. I need the cash for just ordinary expenditures like food," she said. "Staff here say they'll only let eight people in at a time, so I think I need to be patient."
President Nicos Anastasiades on Thursday ordered the creation of a three-member committee to investigate the roots of the economic malaise engulfing the island. The committee will be chaired by three former judges from Cyprus's supreme court, including Georgios Pikis, the court's former president and a former member of the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

"They have a mandate from the president to look deeply into actions, inaction, omissions or decision that led to the present state of the economy but also particularly into the state of financial institutions like Cyprus Popular Bank," said Alexandros Sinka, international affairs secretary of the ruling DISY party.
The management of the two banks behind the country's economic troubles— Bank of Cyprus BOCY.CP +3.48% Bank of Cyprus PCL Cyprus €0.21 +0.01 +3.48% March 15, 2013 5:25 pm Volume : 1.74M P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap €373.39 Million Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee €121,490 More quote details and news » PCL and Cyprus Popular Bank—as well as the Central Bank of Cyprus should be questioned as part of the probe, said Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides.
"How come the leadership of the banks, the central bank governance and the ECB could allow ELA to reach €9.2 billion?" Mr. Kasoulides told reporters, referring to the Emergency Liquidity Assistance that had kept the two banks operating as the country negotiated an international bailout over the past year. "We are to blame for sure, but why didn't the ECB cut the umbilical cord?"
A Green party lawmaker called for the resignation of central bank Gov. Panicos Demetriades, adding to the chorus of those seeking his ouster.
Mr. Demetriades, who under European Central Bank regulations can't be fired, said earlier this week that he had "no intention" of resigning, adding that this would only make matters worse for Cyprus at this moment. He couldn't be reached to comment Thursday.
In a separate potential complication for Cyprus's bailout, two prominent lawyers acting on behalf of the Church of Cyprus, a major shareholder in Bank of Cyprus, won an injunction Thursday at the supreme court in a bid to prevent their shares from being wiped out after the bank is recapitalized as part of the bailout.
The bailout deal calls for money held in bank accounts at BOC to be converted into shares in a new lender that will emerge from the restructuring of Bank of Cyprus after it takes over good assets from Cyprus Popular Bank, which is being wound down. The church is asking that its shares in the bank be treated similarly to those cash deposits and converted into shares in the new entity. The church holds 11.6 million shares in BOC, which have fallen sharply and are currently valued at about €2.3 million.
A victory by the church could set a legal precedent for other shareholders. But European and Cyprus officials said Thursday that the church would have difficulty prevailing. The injunction may delay restructuring but isn't expected to derail the bailout agreement, a finance ministry official said.
Cyprus's banks have been closed since March 16, after the government initially struck a surprise deal—since rejected—to tax bank deposits in exchange for a €10 billion bailout from euro-zone peers and the International Monetary Fund.
Terms of a revised bailout, reached early this week, now foresee the closure of Cyprus Popular and a restructuring of Bank of Cyprus.
Deposits of up to €100,000 are insured, but those with larger sums in the banks may end up taking a severe haircut—recouping only a small portion of their savings or seeing them exchanged for shares in a process that could take years.
Amid fears that nervous savers could descend on the island's banks, the government rolled out aggressive capital controls late Wednesday—the first country in the euro zone to do so—that are expected to last at least a week, and possibly much longer.
In a statement Thursday, the European Commission said Cyprus's decision to impose those controls was justified. The EU's executive arm said it would monitor the need to extend them beyond the next seven days, but added that the restrictions should be "strictly proportionate" and that "the free movement of capital should be reinstated as soon as possible in the interests of the Cypriot economy and the European Union's single market as a whole."
Mr. Kasoulides, the foreign minister, said the restrictions could be gradually lifted in coming days, and could be entirely eliminated within a month.
Many onlookers on Nicosia's streets Thursday were simply curious to see bank lines firsthand. Also represented were foreign journalists, who have swarmed to the island in recent daysto document Cyprus's financial crisis.At one bank branch along Ledra Street—the main shopping street in Nicosia's old town—at least a dozen television camera crews had set up early in the morning in anticipation of a stampede of savers that failed to materialize.
Some bystanders, taking note of the media interest, turned their anger toward the foreign journalists or singled out Cyprus's euro-zone partners, who many here feel betrayed the island by demanding unduly harsh terms in exchange for the bailout.
"The media were waiting for Cypriots smashing windows of banks. Their dreams were not fulfilled—Cypriots are decent people," said one man of roughly retirement age, who stood outside a Bank of Cyprus branch holding a leaflet that read: "Why must international media be so greedy of horror scenarios?!…Solidarity with the people of Cyprus, NOT their banks."
Some Cypriots said they would wait a few days before going to their banks.
"We came here for the action. We just want to see what's going on, but we don't plan to go to the banks today or tomorrow," said bus driver Nikos Panagiotou, 38 years old, who stopped at a Bank of Cyprus branch along with a colleague, George Nikolaou, 64, before heading to work. "We will wait for things to calm down. Our wages may be delayed for two to three days but that's OK," said Mr. Panagiotou.
Pointing at his bald head, he added: "I have already had my haircut, so I don't mind."

I stayed at the Hotel Century during a training trip in the city. The location is perfect as it is nearly directly across from the JR train station. Initially I thought that this would be a noisy location but the rooms are sealed pretty well. When checking in, I requested a non-smoking room, and the door of the room even... More

Is Nibiru Coming? If You Want To Know What I Am Talking About Check It Out On My Site [some URL] I am looking for any information I can get, if anyone as seen it by eye or telescope in the southern pole area please e-mail me with what you know at I would be very grateful for any genuine information! Thanx Crusaderpcm.
some email address
The powers that be are building underground bunkers all over the world for the selected few they pick to survive Nibiru coming. Nibiru is a planet that is part of or galaxy but as Earth takes 365 days in its orbit Nibiru takes 3666.6 years. It as pass by earth many times before, once it struck earth and caused devastating damage to the planet. It also cause the extinction of the dinosaurs when it passed very close to earth and caused an ice age. It is due to pass through again in 2012. Its arrival as already started to alter Earths weather. It can already be seen in the south pole where the U.S have set up a large telescope to track its approach. But you won't see it by sight until the end of 2010 when of course it will be denied. But by the beginning of 2012 it will be hard to hide the fact of its approach. Basically if you have watched a film called Deep Impact then that is what will happen. So if you are not one of the chosen one you are stuffed and expected to go quietly into the night. Personally I going to use the well know motto hope for the best plan for the worst. Me and my loved ones are going to survive this because I'm preparing for the worst are you?

Chef Bud Andersen can be seen on the Panhandle's Number 1 morning show, Daybreak, each Monday morning.
Ingredients2 ea 5 oz boneless chicken breast 2 Tblspn McCormick smoked paprika 1 Tblspn Kosher salt 1 Tblspn McCormick Coriander 1 Tblspn McCormick coarse ground black pepper ½ tsp McCormick cayenne pepper 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tblspn extra virgin olive oil 2 Cups fresh greens or spring mix 1/2 Cup Driscoll strawberries, stemmed and sliced 1/2 Cup fresh pineapple chunks ¼ Cup sun dried tomatoes ¼ Cup sliced cucumber ½ ea lime 1 Tblspn goat cheese crumbles
PreparationCombine all the spices with the garlic and oil in a bowl. Evenly rub the chicken breast with the spice mixture. Place in a large re-sealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 1 hour up to overnight for a more intense flavor.
In a cast iron skillet heat over high heat, add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan. The pan is ready when it gently smokes. Place chicken in skillet squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken and let blacken on both sides about 3-4 minutes per side. When done remove from the skillet and let rest, slice into pieces.
In the same skillet, after removing the chicken add the pineapple chunks for just a minute or two over medium heat. Just long enough to allow the pineapple to caramelize.
In a bowl toss the strawberries, cucumber slices, sundried tomatoes and greens. Plate the greens, add the sliced chicken to the top of the greens. Arrange caramelized pineapple around the plate, and sprinkle greens with goat cheese crumbles. A nice raspberry vinaigrette is a great dressing for this salad full of flavor!

- " Great hostel. Awesome atmosphere and great location. I especially liked that upstairs, there were very solid wooden structures for sleeping, much better than the usual metal bunkbed and much less noisy. Also cool: in each little alcove of the dorm there are energy outlets. And in the locker, there are energy closets too (= you can charge your computer and lock it up!). I've tried several hostels in downtown SF, and this one is one of my favorites. "
- 29 Nov 2013 Bodo Germany
- " In general I had an OK stay at the hostel, it is just far too expensive for what you get in return for your money. Everything is kept at its minimum, so when you book don't go in with high expectations. I have stayed at many other hostels for less money and got much more value for it. "
- 21 Nov 2013 Anonymous Austria
- " GREAT location close to Union Square. Up the Hill 3 blocks is the Nob Hill Cafe: amazing clam linguine. Hotel was private and clean, very quiet and perfect for one person. I booked a twin with private bath at the Adelaide, but they put me at the Fitzgerald Hotel around the corner. It was great. Breakfast was very basic. Fruit, toast and coffee/juice and instant oatmeal. Great value for cost. "
- 07 Nov 2013 Deterri USA
- " I can not imagine how someone can say this hostel is one of the 10 best hostels in the world , and we were only in the alley (That smelled urine )and in the front room , first of all they send us to Dakota H. , they said we had no room because all were taken , even though they send us a mail saying that our booking was Ok so this is a scam we go because you offer one of the best 10 hostel in the world and when we arrive there are no rooms .I paid an insurance and I do not know what for! .

- " Recommended "
- 21 Oct 2013 Anonymous Australia
- " My only complaint is that the hotel and hostel are in two different locations, which is not made clear on the website. The hotel is located around the block, and is called the Fitzgerald Hotel. I showed up at Adelaide Hostel to check in, and was told that all of their private rooms are now located at a separate hotel that is owned by the same owners. I was disappointed because I was looking for the hostel experience of having a common area to chill and meet other travelers. "

Hi Andrew, thanks for stopping by. To tell you the truth I never look forward to Christmas so we are even on my avatar. Damn 3X the pay for working a holiday I would work every one of them. My daugther does the same thing where she works but she only gets time and a half. You can bring your snow blower up here this weekend we are supposed to get some of the white stuff. The only thing I am looking forward to is that I don't have to cook on Christmas Day because no one is coming. My kids and my grandson will be here on Christmas Eve. If I didn't have my grandson I would go away during Christmas LOL.
EditingMySpace.com -BE SAFE!!!!!!!! -
Thank you for the gift and may you and your familiy enjoy a very Merry Christmas Andrew!
Andrew, I like being consistent it's part of my ADHD or something like that :). We had snow twice, the second time left about an inch. I hear that we are supposed to get more on Christmas Eve. But you know how often meteorologists are.

Merry Christmas and have a Safe and Happy New Year!

Hi Andrew, Am I the only one who posts on your page??? The cold and wind this week is the worst I've ever experienced.

Hi Andrew, We ain't got no stinkin' snow, the little we got the other day is gone, except now it's raining and if the temps drop overnight I'm sure we will have ice in the morning. Although, we typically get 25 to 45 mph winds which to me is strange because we sit in a bowl surrounded by mountains. Who knows I'm not a Fredericktonian and the weather here has been strange since I moved here. Have a great week and please stay safe in the "big house".

Don't think that love, to be true, has to be extraordinary. What is necessary is to continue to love. How does a lamp burn, if it is not by the continuous feeding of little drops of oil? When there is no oil, there is no light and the bridegroom will say: "I do not know you". Dear friends, what are our drops of oil in our lamps? They are the small things from every day life: the joy, the generosity, the little good things, the humility and the patience. A simple thought for someone else. Our way to be silent, to listen, to forgive, to speak and to act. That are the real drops of oil that make our lamps burn vividly our whole life. Don't look for Jesus far away, He is not there. He is in you, take care of your lamp and you will see Him."

Have a wonderful Christmas Day.
Yo Andrew- We had snow this morning and it caused a 15 vehicle accident up on Interstate 70, but that's how these people roll when it snows...when it rains....when the weather is clear LOL. Have a great weekend and be safe.
Hey Andrew I think the weather all over the world is totally screwed up, it's been snowing in England for the last week (they can keep the snow on their side of the pond) Hope everything is well with your and yours. Be safe in the "big house"

Aloha Andrew (did that help?) We don't have snow in the forecast for the next week but that could change in a heartbeat. The temps have been in the 30's and 40's during the day and in the 20's and 30's at night. The worst thing is the winds last week and this coming week we are supposed to have 40+mph winds. Windier here than in Chicago. You don't have the worst luck, you just have enough criminals in Iowa LOL. At our last HOA Board Meeting somehow I was roped in to be our Neighborhood Watch coordinator I still have no clue how that happened. What else do I have to do???? Have a great rest of the weekend, stay warm, and above all stay safe.
Happy Saturday, 22 days and counting until Christmas Day. No matter how old your kids are (if you have any) they still look forward to Christmas Morning. Get your shopping done early or like me do it online, it's safer than getting trampled on in Wal-Mart or the Mall. And please, please be safe out there, lately there have just been too many LODD and one is too many. And remember he is making a list and checking it twice, I've told him who on my friends list is naughty or nice.

2013 Compendium
Technology Offers Promise of Preventing and Repairing Dreaded Genitourinary Injuries
- Categorized in: Department of Defense (DoD), May 2012, Urology
By Annette M. Boyle
Since a report last year of the Army Dismounted Complex Blast Injury Task Force documented a sharp increase in the number of genitourinary (GU) injuries among U.S. warriors in Afghanistan, the DoD has taken several steps to better meet the healthcare needs of these fighters — but much remains to be done.
Reducing the number and severity of dismounted complex blast injuries (DCBI) is the first priority because of the devastating physical and psychological effects of genitourinary injuries. The task force report offered anecdotal evidence that some servicemembers have "do not resuscitate" pacts with their colleagues in case of this type of damage.
To help prevent the injuries, Project Manager Soldier Protection and Individual Equipment (PM-SPIE) has been charged with coordinating research efforts focused on improving ballistic undergarments. The task force report noted that as much as 40% of pelvic and groin injuries may be mitigated by use of body armor.
"The prevalence of [improvised explosive devices] during dismounted operations in Operation Enduring Freedom has caused a greater number of injuries to the lower body," according to an Army request for proposals for enhanced protective boxer-style briefs issued this spring. The new undergarments should improve protection of the pelvis, femoral arteries, genitalia and lower abdominal organs in a blast or fragmentation event, according to the RFP.
The two-layer Pelvic Protection System issued by the Army since June 2011 has an undergarment (PUG) that resembles bicycle shorts made out of a soft, moisture-wicking material on the outer thighs with a tough Kevlar mesh to protect the inner thighs and femoral artery from explosive — and often highly contaminated — debris. The groin also has additional shielding. An outergarment or POG is made of a more-rigid material that offers protection equivalent to that provided by ballistic vests. According to PEO Soldier Live, a blog produced by the Army acquisition agency responsible for everything soldiers wear or carry, the POGs and PUGs have been fielded to approximately 15,000 soldiers.
The Marines soon will issue a three-piece Pelvic Protection System, based on a model used by the British in Afghanistan. Above the PUG and second layer of pelvic body armor, the Marine model will include ballistic knee-length shorts made of heavy, layered Kevlar fabric specifically designed to give extra protection to foot patrols, such as those operating the lead metal detector in teams searching for IEDs. The shorts would be worn over combat trousers.
The BCB Protective Under Garment, shown here on a mannequin, is one of the pelvic protection systems developed by Program Executive Office Soldier. U.S. Army Photo. |
Prior to the rollout of PUGs, genitourinary injuries [IEDs] accounted for nearly 5% of combat injuries in OIF/OEF. These injuries affected the scrotum in nearly 30% of cases, the penis in 14% and a testis in 9%, wrote Col. Steve Waxman, MD, JD, in a recent article, "War and Male Genital Trauma" for the American Fertility Association.
Waxman noted that rates for "saving the testicle(s) in the war zone hospitals have been reported to be as high as 74% in Operation Iraqi Freedom," adding that a "high index of suspicion is essential when addressing wounds to the external genitalia following an IED blast. Small entry wounds to the scrotum may be associated with severe testicular trauma."
As GU injuries tend to be extensive in DCBIs, Waxman noted, "the presence of a urologist in theater is crucial."
Specialty-trained urologists have a "broader knowledge of the future reconstruction strategies anticipated for major penile, scrotal and urethral injuries that should be taken into consideration during acute resuscitation," agreed DCBI report author Army Brig. Gen. Joseph Caravalho.
Consequently, the Army Surgeon General has directed that the ATO's Role III facilities have a staff urologist assigned at all times. The Joint Theater Trauma System Clinical Practice Guideline for urologic trauma management updated in April specifically advises that "testicular repair is crucial, even when there is only a small amount of viable tissue present. Conservative debridement and meticulous repair of tissues is crucial in these injuries to preserve hormonal and sexual function." In addition, Caravalho and the task force noted that the limited number of civilian and military physicians who perform phallic reconstruction surgery indicates a "need to train more military urologists and plastic surgeons in these techniques."
Should pay-for-performance be used to improve healthcare quality at the VA?

Who Will Washington Take With #3 Pick?
The Washington Wizards need a little bit of everything in this draft. Teams that finish the year with the second-worst record in the league tend to have that particular problem, but thankfully this team has quite a few options available to immediately improve itself with the third pick in the June 28th draft, even if none of those guys will be Anthony Davis.
Basically, the Wizards have two roster spots locked up: point guard and center. John Wall is still the player that Washington wants as the face of their franchise, and he's good enough to eventually find his way to stardom, assuming he ever gets a cast of teammates and a coaching staff to help him with that. They've also got a center in former Denver Nuggets big man Nene, who is under contract at $13 million per season through the end of 2016.
Outside of that, there's no position that couldn't use some depth. Jordan Crawford has shown promise, averaging almost 15 points a game in only 27 minutes per contest his sophomore season, but the other young guns on this roster—Andray Blatche, Trevor Booker, Kevin Seraphin, James Singleton, Chris Singleton and Jan Vesely—have left a lot to be desired. Put as simply as possible, the Wizards could use a little more star quality on this roster, particularly at both forward positions and shooting guard.
Luckily, there is a lot of star power at the top end of this draft, and somehow, someway the Wizards are going to end up with some of it. Here's a look at their top options with the third overall pick in the draft:
Thomas Robinson, PF, Kansas – The best-case scenario for Washington is to have Charlotte either pass on Robinson or trade the pick to another team looking to draft someone other than him. Robinson's value to a franchise was discussed in depth in the most recent NBA Sunday, but in short he's pretty much the best bet a lottery team has at finding a future superstar outside of the #1 overall pick. He's big and strong, he's athletic and coachable, he's a monster on both ends of the floor and he's still nowhere near as good as he's going to be.
He's not necessarily a "perfect" complement to John Wall, but no point guard has ever complained about playing alongside a hungry rebounder with a terrific post game. Robinson is pretty clearly the second-best player in this draft, but that means it'll take a small miracle for him to still be around when it's Washington's turn to pick third.
Pretty much every mock in the world right now has Robinson going #2 to Charlotte, but that's anything but a foregone conclusion at this point. The Bobcats are reportedly interested in trading out of their pick, or could even be more interested in players like Andre Drummond or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. It would be silly of Charlotte to pass on Robinson, but since when do we trust them to make the smart draft pick? Remember Adam Morrison? Sean May? Brandan Wright?
If the Bobcats move out of the pick or take someone else, Robinson makes a ton of sense as a Wizard. He and Wall, along with Crawford and Nene, could form a respectable line-up. The basketball gods would have to really smile down on D.C. for this scenario to happen, though.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, SF, Kentucky – If Robinson does get snatched up at #2, expect the Wizards to take Kidd-Gilchrist with their selection. There's a lot to love about this young man, not the least of which is that at 18 years old, he's already built like an NBA player. That allowed him to defend a number of different positions at the college level, and that is where he should continue to shine as a pro.
As a Wizard, however, he'd be expected to get out and run with Wall, and that's a combination that could be daunting for years and years in our nation's capital. Few players in the entire NCAA were as good in transition as MKG, and he loves to take his offensive game to the cup. The easier his buckets, the more effective he's going to be on that end of the floor.
The knock on Kidd-Gilchrist, however, is that he's not an alpha dog. That's something we saw a lot of when he played for Kentucky, often deferring to the more offensively gifted players on the floor. On the one hand, we could look at that as a potential strength—that he's got more to offer offensively but was simply held back as a casualty of too much talent in Lexington. Or, he really is just going to be better as a second fiddle, which is what could make Washington a great fit for him.
Bradley Beal, SG, Florida – It will be surprising if the Wizards don't end up with either Robinson or Kidd-Gilchrist by the time they've made their selection later this month, but if any player was going to defy that probability, it'd be Florida shooting guard Brad Beal.
He's been compared to Eric Gordon so often that he's starting to look like the guy, and that's a good thing if we're talking about the offensive side of the basketball. This kid is the top shooting guard prospect in the class for a reason, and that reason has everything to do with his deep three-point range and ability to score the ball in bunches.
Despite all that, his problems are manifold; not only is Beal undersized for an NBA two-guard at 6'4, but he's also pretty poor on the defensive end and was somewhat inconsistent in college. Plus, his early workouts reportedly haven't gone all that well, with Beal looking a little stiff and a little slow.
Considering the Wizards already have a reasonable scoring guard in Jordan Crawford and much bigger holes in other areas, Beal doesn't seem like the smartest pick. He is, however, very high on a lot of teams' draft boards, and with a good string of workouts he could potentially upset the order of things in the top three. Don't count him out, even if he's not necessarily the obvious pick at this point in the process.
Harrison Barnes, SF, North Carolina – Now we're starting to wander into unlikely territory, because Harrison Barnes probably isn't going to be selected in the top three. However Barnes has found a way to suck smart basketball into his hype machine his entire adult life, and we shouldn't expect that to change at a time when player hype is more important than ever.
Washington has some small forwards that can play, but they could still use an upgrade and in some ways we could consider Barnes precisely that. No one has ever questioned his offensive talents, and his extensive college experience means he'll probably be better-adjusted to the NBA game than some of his younger counterparts. In fact, because the hype around Barnes has been so huge since he was a very young teenager, one could argue that he's been groomed for the NBA for almost a decade now. He can shoot, he can score and he played his college ball for one of the most historic programs in college hoops.
Despite all that, he's not as athletic as you'd expect, and you could probably consider him over-confident offensively at times, as we saw in the NCAA tournament. He hasn't historically shown up in big games, either, which has made some question whether he's really got superstar blood in his veins.
Kidd-Gilchrist is better, but if he's gone at two and the Wizards really want a small forward, Barnes would be the obvious choice. If Washington picked Barnes over Robinson in that scenario, however, it would be a mistake they likely never live down.
There are other talented players that Washington will likely bring in for workouts, including Ohio State's Jared Sullinger and UConn's Andre Drummond, among others. Those players just aren't quite the same caliber as the other young men available to them in the top three, so it's unlikely either Sullinger or Drummond gets serious consideration there.
When it's all said and done, expect either Thomas Robinson or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to be the named called at number three. It doesn't seem likely that Washington will trade their pick, and they really shouldn't considering either guy could help their team going forward.
2011-12 was a dismal season for the Wizards, but the right pick could help them get back on the right track. Added to Wall and Nene, a good rookie could put them on a one-way train back toward respectability.

SUSPECT CRATER: The Smythii basin was formed by an impact that a new study proposes could have reversed the moon's orientation. Other candidate craters dot the lunar surface as well.

For thousands of years only one side of the moon was visible to humankind as a result of synchronous rotation, a sort of orbital lockstep that keeps the moon rotating once for every lap it takes around Earth. Astronomers had to settle for this near-side view until 1959, when a Soviet craft took the first photographs of the moon's far side. But could the view from Earth have been different early in lunar geologic history?
In a paper in press for the journal Icarus, geophysicists Mark Wieczorek and Mathieu Le Feuvre of France's National Center for Scientific Research's Institute of Earth Physics in Paris postulate that our natural satellite was once rotated 180 degrees, with the current far side of the moon facing Earth. A large impact roughly four billion years ago could have temporarily disrupted the moon's rotation, the researchers say, allowing it to eventually settle back into so-called spin-orbit synchrony either in its original orientation or rotated 180 degrees. (Wieczorek says that the tidal bulges on the lunar surface induced by Earth's gravity, which deform the moon into an elongated shape that helps stabilize its position, would prevent the moon from easing into synchrony at any intermediate orientation.)
Wieczorek and Le Feuvre first examined the size and velocity necessary for a sufficiently spin-disrupting asteroidal or cometary strike, turning up a few possible candidates based on cratering records on the lunar surface.
"Just based on the physics, it's very, very, very probable that at least one and perhaps more of these impacts did this to the moon," Wieczorek says. "The second question, and this is the harder part, is finding if there's any evidence of this or not."
The researchers sought that evidence by examining the placement and age of craters across the lunar surface. If the moon's orientation had remained constant throughout its history, there should be more impact cratering on its western hemisphere, which is the leading hemisphere in the moon's orbit in its current orientation. (Wieczorek likens this to driving a car in a storm—more rain hits the front windshield than the rear.)
The analysis revealed that whereas the younger impact basins follow this pattern, the older ones tend to be found on the trailing side of the moon, indicating that the moon has swiveled 180 degrees about its axis since those ancient craters formed. According to their calculations, in fact, the arrangement of older impact basins near the now-trailing eastern hemisphere has less than a 0.3 percent probability of happening by chance.
A few caveats that Wieczorek and Le Feuvre are careful to note: Ages for most of the 46 impact basins studied are not well constrained, and some older basins might be obscured by ejecta from younger craters nearby, which would mean the current data set is incomplete. Better topographic maps now being pieced together by lunar orbiters such as India's Chandrayaan 1 and Japan's Kaguya could help clarify the historical record of asteroidal and cometary impacts.
H. Jay Melosh, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory who has studied the effects of impacts on the moon's orientation, finds the new proposal quite plausible. Although Wieczorek and Le Feuvre's in-depth analysis of the cratering data may spark some arguments over the details, Melosh says, "the overall picture is both reasonable and well documented."
