a.k.a. "My Extreme Dystonic Reaction And How I Wound Up In The Emergency Room For The Fourth Time In Less Than Nine Months"
It was my intention to write a post about another night, another ER visit. It was also my intention to get a little rest first. The latter was not to be. About the former, I guess we'll see.
(If you think I ever actually know and plan and decide upon what I'm going to write here, you've lost the thread somewhere along the way.)
I watched the movie Serendipity instead. Everyone reading this should know by now how I love the concept (why haven't I made a category for it, I need to do so, post-haste. . . okay, done). I don't just love it, I hold a very strong belief in it. The movie is cute as can be, at any rate. It also features a wonderful score, with a particular song running through it that was also in another movie released I think around the same time, also wonderful and with a not dissimilar concept, Practical Magic.
I don't know why I stopped liking movies, but if anyone could, please tell me in the comments, what has John Cusak done lately? Or Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, even Kate Beckinsale? I'm terribly out of my element with modern-day movies, I'm forced to admit.
So. I've put it off long enough.
What happened was this. I had an extreme and acute (I promise you I am not overstating the situation by deliberately using two absolute declarative adjectives to describe it) dystonic reaction to perphenazine, also known by the name Trilafon. It's a conventional antipsychotic, and thus much more prone to cause this (and other neuroleptic symptoms and syndromes).
Which forces me to explain dystonia, a task I don't much relish, particularly after experiencing it so severely. Here goes (I'll also throw in a couple of links for a more clinical picture).
It started with my voice, actually. It had this funny affect, and it was hard to get my tongue to make the sounds I needed it to. But I got that under control and didn't worry too much (that would have been. . . Monday night). Last night (Tuesday) I noticed it again a little, but everyone went to sleep and so I did no more talking. But as I lay on the couch, and later in bed, trying to fall asleep, I noticed some rigidity and tension in my face, my tongue especially. I couldn't fall asleep, and it spread through my body, little by little.
I kept talking myself down from thinking it was anything, except something in me must have known better. I got out of bed and went and got my mother, at my age and at three a.m. And then we sat on the couch and I cried, because I was terrified.
I settled down some, and even tried a few odd moments of humor, which were lost in translation because I basically couldn't speak. Long rest of the story short, I got worse, my mom got more concerned, we both put on our shoes and coats and got in the car to go to the emergency room. I remember when she was backing out of the driveway, I just about told her to call 911 instead, but I lost my direction at that point.
It was worse on my left side, my toes were curled tightly, my head tilted, my abdomen locked. I couldn't keep my eyes open. I described it to my mom as like a very long, drawn out, slow motion seizure, and she said she had thought the exact same thing.
Apparently I was as gone as I think I was, because she also said everyone in the ER seemed freaked, and I couldn't even sign my name to consent for treatment, I had to do a "verbal consent" (policies).
My blood pressure and my pulse were high enough to set all of the machines beeping, and then after a minimum of discussion and the magic word "perphenazine," a wonderful young doctor had a dose of Benadryl shot into my IV that knocked me silly. Seriously. I kept going, "Oh wow. Oh, wow." My poor mother sitting there, eyes filled with tears from her terror over my state, and I had to reassure her that they were good "oh wows," because I was feeling completely back to myself within a minute or two. Well, kind of floaty, but otherwise very much myself.
So with some discussion, an injection of diazepam (Valium) for good measure, a prescription and instructions, I was sent merrily on my way, better than before. Better, because now I know to say "fuck all" if a doctor tries to put me on a conventional again.
Add those to the growing list of drug allergies.
Moral of the story: "Don't ever hit your mother with a shovel, it leaves a dull impression on her mind." ~ Paul Newman, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
I decided this one needed a light moral, because it's been a heavy post for me.
And, oh, the links: Dystonic Reaction (one link, I'm tired)
Whoops, a last note: The title of this post, my mom was trying to find the word 'psychotropic' in reference to my meds, but came up with 'psychotic' instead. Based on recent experience, I'm coming to agree with her Freudian assessment.

Hey Godslayer, thanks for all the pretty pics of Shu Chang.Originally Posted by 0-0-0
Sadly, I haven't have the fortune to watch Linked Cities yet. NEED to get my hands on those, or else I couldn't sleep. From the way you guys described the show, sounds like a great great classic to me.
Yeah, I sort of agree with 0-0-0. SC had been in a few major series, but her role hadn't been substantial, however, her acting is soooo good, she's instantly distinguishable and noticeable. I wonder how anyone would miss her in a series.
She looks very refine in XiaoZhuang as Wan-ru in male disguise when she's out for the opera.
Hmm, I'm a little lost here, aside from crazy, aren't we all all supporters of SC, so why is that the most humane words from sugar?

It seems like a lot of work, and it's supposed to be "quick". What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the standard QW. I've tried misting on a wet car and drying and I've now tried blowing the car with a blower and then misting with QW, then going over it with MF.
Either method leaves yet more buffing to do.
It seems I might as well just apply a coat of wax. It wouldn't take that much longer.
It's supposed to be quick... what am I missing?

Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
Kanye West has his us with a brand new song, which will be featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming film, The Man with the Iron Fists, written and directed by RZA and starring Russell Crowe, who has seen West work through new material before. "White Dress" is dripping with West's vintage storytelling technique and old-school samples.
From the one-minute preview, there aren't as many obvious shout-outs to his main muse of late, Kimmy K., yet the story about his relationship timeline is rife with cutesy images of Yeezy in love. It's almost as if we were there when he tells the wacky story of ordering "a girl drink in a masculine glass," which would make his lady laugh uncontrollably. Previously reported lyrics to the song ("Now she back in the club in a tight dress with dreams of someday wearing a white dress") caused many to assume the track was an early marriage proposal for Kim. While the obvious wedding connotation exists in the title, here it sounds more like West is mourning a once-promising relationship that's gone sour, after his lady changed due to the crippling effects of external observers ("They never let us do our thing / Everybody lying on who I bang").
Hopefully the full version will spell out all these theories and more by October 23. But for now: Is "White Dress" about Kim? Amber Rose? Your mom? Listen below and decide for yourself:

Thesis and dissertation work, individual and group ongoing or planned research and course projects are all appropriate. Options for the day include poster, multimedia and 10-minute oral presentations. Broward Undergraduate Research Awards During the Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 semesters, $3,500 was awarded to select Broward undergraduate students involved in research and nominated by the faculty member with whom they worked. Awardees are asked to produce a summary description of their work at the end of the semester and are encouraged to participate in the Broward Research Symposium scheduled for March 22, 2013.

I am 30 and my wife is 29. We were married 1 year ago. Whenever we have intercourse we used to see porn movies, and my wife enjoys that saying she attracts men in our area. I use her elder sister's (42yrs) name everytime while having sex with my wife. She never bothers but asked me why I am eager for her elder sister? I told her, that I had seen her nude while bathing and that I am intersted in her. My wife says she is also intersted in her (uncle) elder sister's husband. What should we do? Should we talk to them and swap our partners occassionally?

Minka Kelly On Cancer, Cooking, and Date-Night Beauty!
Last night, Minka Kelly, dressed in a stunning Diane von Furstenberg gown, walked in the 2012 Red Dress Collection Fashion Show. It is sponsored by Diet Coke and The Heart Truth campaign, which raises awareness about women's heart disease. But not only is it American Heart Month, it's also almost Valentine's Day. We figured Kelly (who has been placed on Esquire's Sexiest Women Alive list) would have a few tips on how to turn your man on come February 14th.
Real Beauty: How did you get involved with this cause?
Minka Kelly: Before this, I didnt know that heart disease is the number one killer of women. I feel like it's important to use my voice to raise awareness. Women need to be aware of the danger and proactive about iteven if it means getting on the Treadmill one extra time a week or eating a bit healthier.
RB: Youre also really involved with cancer awareness, right?
MK: I'm an ambassador for Stand Up To Cancer. I lost my mother to cancer, so it's very close to me. People should test themselves and be conscious of their bodies. My mom neglected her body and ignored the signs and symptoms. I lost her to colon cancer, which is very preventable and detachable. If I she had heard someone talking about this, maybe she would have gone to the doctor sooner, and it would have saved her life.
RB: Thanks for sharing that. On to some lighter topics, what is your go-to date-night beauty look?
MK: Usually, I say less is more. But sometimesdepending on my moodmore is more. I'm not the best at doing my own makeup, so I keep it pretty simple. As long as I have an eyelash curler, mascara, and Aquaphor Lip Repair balm, Im good to go. I also like Dior Dior Addict Lip Glow. It brings out the natural rosiness in your lips, so it's the perfect shade of pink-red.
RB: What about a great date-night hairstyle?
MK: My hair ends up in a ponytail most of the time, because I have so much of it, and it's a lot of work to style. But if I wear it down, I'll run a curling iron through it quickly. I think the less done your hair looks, the better.
RB: Do you have a signature scent?
MK: Yes. As of late, it's Le Labo Santal. It's the perfect mix of earthy and floral.
RB: Are there any body products you can't live without?
MK: Every day, I slather my entire body with Kiehl's Creme de la Creme de Corps, and each morning and night, I use eye cream from Sisley. I've been doing that since I was a teenager. I think moisturizing is really important.
RB: Do you have any outfit ideas?
MK: As long as I'm comfortable, I feel put together. I think a pretty, flowing dress with a blazer and cute, funky shoes always works. looking classy, ladylike, and elegant is sexy.
RB: How will you be spending your V-Day?
MK: I'll be at home cooking to stay out of all of the madness. My speciality is lasagna, and my secret ingredient is spicy Italian sausage.
RB: What is your favorite date activity?
MK: I really enjoy listening to live music!
RB: What makes you feel sexy?
MK: I feel the sexiest after a good workout with my trainer. I'm all sweaty and my cheeks are flushed from my heart rate being up for the past hour.
RB: How do you stay in shape?
MK: I do Vinyasa yoga every day and meet with my trainer, Gunnar Peterson, a few times a week for circuit weight training.
RB: Will we be seeing you at Fashion Week?
MK: I'm going to Marchesa and Oscar de la Renta.

Not bad, not greatPros: Bright and light weight. I like the 2-stage brightness to save battery life. Cons: The white plastic strips that comprise the body of this flashlight feel flimsy. The idea that they are so you can use this for long periods of time without your hand getting sweaty, or some other gimmick is just that - a gimmick. If I were to buy again, I would get a better light, I regret this purchase. Other Thoughts: I am not a flashlight master, but this left more to be desired. I may have had too high of expectations, but next time, I will buy a more solid flashlight with proven function. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Bright space thingPros: This is super bright flashlight and very light. Has two modes where you can have a low light and high intensity light. Seems good on the battery as well. Small and light weight. I have dropped it a couple times already and doesnt seem to bother it at all. Taking it camping this weekend! Cons: The only thing I dont like is the actual body of the light. It has these flexy white part that runs most of the length of the body. I guess you could put a rope or something here, but they actually bow out enough that it makes me drop it when I grab the light quickly... on the flip side when you really squeeze on the body you know you have it... Other Thoughts: Great great great little flashlight as long as you get it when it goes on sale... Did you find this review helpful? |
Icon LightPros: It has a style to it that my girlfriend likes so I gave it to her to walk the dog with. It's comfortable so you could go for this if you will be holding the flashlight for a long amount of time. White color allows for easy spotting and it does not get hot. Cons: Not what I was hoping for at this price range, even when it was on sale. Other Thoughts: Considering you can buy a Nebo Redline and a Cree Q3 for the normal price of this light combined, I will not buy another one, even on sale. Both of those flashlights impressed me more. I cannot comment on the duration of the light. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
greatPros: great Flashlight Cons: na 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
To counter my previous review.Pros: Newegg did step up and take the necklace back, and once again, reinforced why I shop here time and time again. Cons: ... but my wife did not. It was far smaller and delicate than the pictures made it out to be. Other Thoughts: Dimensions for those of us who are very tech/engineering minded would be fantastic on jewelry 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good lightPros: I like it. It's brighter than what I thought and it already had Energizer AA batteries installed. I like the unique design and that it's weatherproof. Plus, it is power-regulated and has two output levels. Cons: The regular price seems too high. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

An assortment of different pickup configurations gives you the flexibility to customize the fundamental tonal palette of your SolidBody. Our proprietary pickup designs include mini and full-size humbuckers (available in either high-definition or high-gain versions), vintage alnico humbuckers, and silent single coils. Not only can you choose your preferred pickup configuration, but you can also easily swap out your pickups with our solderless, "plug & play" loaded pickguards, allowing you to change the tonal personality of your SolidBody any time you like, in a matter of minutes.
2 Mini Humbuckers (HD or HG)
Mini humbuckers take up less sonic space than full-size humbuckers, making them a great choice for a band with multiple instruments. They have plenty of grind and punch without getting in the way of the mix. On stage, they have a little more cut and presence.
2 Full-size Humbuckers (HD or HG)
Full-size humbuckers have a heavier, dirtier tone than the minis for more of a rock edge. For years, players have relied on this combination to deliver the warm, sweet sound of the neck pickup and the bite of the bridge. The HG version is full of presence and is engineered to hit the front of the amp harder than the HD for a heavier, crunchy tone.
2 Full-size Vintage Alnico Humbuckers
The vintage alnicos are our modern version of a traditional PAF-style covered pickup. They feature a fat, round sound with a warm bottom end. Traditionally, guitars with two humbuckers have a 3-way switch. Our 5-way switching system adds both a parallel and series option for a broader tone palette.
3 Single Coils
Another classic electric sound. "Little Wing," "Sultans of Swing," and " Another Brick in the Wall" are examples of single coil gold. Our silent single coils capture all the character of the single coil sound without the buzz and other sonic noise. The bridge pickup sounds great overdriven, yet has lots of sparkle and clarity when played clean. Our switching allows each pickup to be selected individually and also provides two combined pickup positions.
1 Full-size HG Humbucker
Some players just want to plug in, turn up, and rock out. If you like to ride the volume knob for more nuance, turning down the volume controls a little and hitting the amp in different ways will yield all kinds of colors and flavors at different levels. Pulling up the volume pot will split the coil.
2 Single Coils/1 HG Humbucker
Born out of the guitar player culture of swapping pickups, this combo is a popular and versatile setup. If you like to quickly switch between the slam of a humbucker and the wisp of a single coil, the "single single hum" configuration will get it done. Perfect for a player who wants access to multiple tones with one guitar.
1 HD Mini Humbucker/1 Single Coil
This setup throws a nod to Keith Richards and other great blues players like Albert Collins. A 3-way switch allows you to toggle between the modern sound of our high definition mini and the spank of our noiseless bridge single coil. Great for cutting, groovy, rhythmic chording.
3 HD Mini Humbuckers (HD or HG)
The three-mini setup is reminiscent of the '60s Firebird 7 but with Taylor's own sonic imprint. Positions 1 and 5 (Neck and Bridge) deliver a smooth and driving front edge, with great distortion and clean sounds available at the flick of a switch. Both positions drive the front end of an amp really well. Positions 2 and 4 capture a thick single coil vibe, and make great choices for blues rhythm or lead. The real gem of this configuration is Position 3, the middle pickup alone. It sparkles and drives at the same time; it's really transparent and thick. With a trem, this setup suits any style or tonal flavor.
L-R: 2 Mini Humbuckers (HD or HG), 3 Mini Humbuckers (HD or HG), 2 Full-size Vintage Alnico Humbuckers, 1 Mini Humbucker (HD) & 1 Single Coil TAYLOR GUITARS | 2011 GUITAR GUIDE
L-R: 2 Full-size Humbuckers (HD or HG), 3 Single Coils, 2 Single Coils & 1 Full-size Humbucker (HG), 1 Full-size Humbucker (HG)

Movement Disorders
Movement disorders are a group of diseases and syndromes affecting the ability to produce and control movement.
Though it seems simple and effortless, normal movement in fact requires an astonishingly complex system of control. Disruption of any portion of this system can cause a person to produce movements that are too weak, too forceful, too uncoordinated, or too poorly controlled for the task at hand. Unwanted movements may occur at rest. Intentional movement may become impossible. Such conditions are called movement disorders.
Abnormal movements themselves are symptoms of underlying disorders. In some cases, the abnormal movements are the only symptoms. Disorders causing abnormal movements include:
- Parkinson's disease
- Parkinsonism caused by drugs or poisons
- Parkinson-plus syndromes (progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, and cortical-basal ganglionic degeneration)
- Huntington's disease
- Wilson's disease
- inherited ataxias (Friedreich's ataxia, Machado-Joseph disease, and spinocerebellar ataxias)
- tourette syndrome and other tic disorders
- essential tremor
- restless leg syndrome
- dystonia
- stroke
- cerebral palsy
- encephalopathies
- intoxication
- poisoning by carbon monoxide, cyanide, methanol, or manganese
Movement is produced and coordinated by several interacting brain centers, including the motor cortex, the cerebellum, and a group of structures in the inner portions of the brain called the basal ganglia. Sensory information provides critical input on the current position and velocity of body parts, and spinal nerve cells (neurons) help prevent opposing muscle groups from contracting at the same time.
To understand how movement disorders occur, it is helpful to consider a normal voluntary movement, such as reaching to touch a nearby object with the right index finger. To accomplish the desired movement, the arm must be lifted and extended. The hand must be held out to align with the forearm, and the forefinger must be extended while the other fingers remain flexed.
THE MOTOR CORTEX. Voluntary motor commands begin in the motor cortex located on the outer, wrinkled surface of the brain. Movement of the right arm is begun by the left motor cortex, which generates a large volley of signals to the involved muscles. These electrical signals pass along upper motor neurons through the mid-brain to the spinal cord. Within the spinal cord, they connect to lower motor neurons, which convey the signals out of the spinal cord to the surface of the muscles involved. Electrical stimulation of the muscles causes contraction, and the force of contraction pulling on the skeleton causes movement of the arm, hand, and fingers.
Damage to or death of any of the neurons along this path causes weakness or paralysis of the affected muscles.
ANTAGONISTIC MUSCLE PAIRS. This picture of movement is too simple, however. One important refinement to it comes from considering the role of opposing, or antagonistic, muscle pairs. Contraction of the biceps muscle, located on the top of the upper arm, pulls on the forearm to flex the elbow and bend the arm. Contraction of the triceps, located on the opposite side, extends the elbow and straightens the arm. Within the spine, these muscles are normally wired so that willed (voluntary) contraction of one is automatically accompanied by blocking of the other. In other words, the command to contract the biceps provokes another command within the spine to prevent contraction of the triceps. In this way, these antagonist muscles are kept from resisting one another. Spinal cord or brain injury can damage this control system and cause involuntary simultaneous contraction and spasticity, an increase in resistance to movement during motion.
THE CEREBELLUM. Once the movement of the arm is initiated, sensory information is needed to guide the finger to its precise destination. In addition to sight, the most important source of information comes from the "position sense" provided by the many sensory neurons located within the limbs (proprioception). Proprioception is what allows you to touch your nose with your finger even with your eyes closed. The balance organs in the ears provide important information about posture. Both postural and proprioceptive information are processed by a structure at the rear of the brain called the cerebellum. The cerebellum sends out electrical signals to modify movements as they progress, "sculpting" the barrage of voluntary commands into a tightly controlled, constantly evolving pattern. Cerebellar disorders cause inability to control the force, fine positioning, and speed of movements (ataxia). Disorders of the cerebellum may also impair the ability to judge distance so that a person under-or over-reaches the target (dysmetria). Tremor during voluntary movements can also result from cerebellar damage.
THE BASAL GANGLIA. Both the cerebellum and the motor cortex send information to a set of structures deep within the brain that help control involuntary components of movement (basal ganglia). The basal ganglia send output messages to the motor cortex, helping to initiate movements, regulate repetitive or patterned movements, and control muscle tone.
Circuits within the basal ganglia are complex. Within this structure, some groups of cells begin the action of other basal ganglia components and some groups of cells
This complicated circuit can be disrupted at several points. For instance, loss of substantia nigra cells, as in Parkinson's disease, increases blocking of the thalamic nuclei, preventing them from sending signals to the motor cortex. The result is a loss of movement (motor activity), a characteristic of Parkinson's.
In contrast, cell loss in early Huntington's disease decreases blocking of signals from the thalamic nuclei, causing more cortex stimulation and stronger but uncontrolled movements.
Disruptions in other portions of the basal ganglia are thought to cause tics, tremors, dystonia, and a variety of other movement disorders, although the exact mechanisms are not well understood.
Some movement disorders, including Huntington's disease and inherited ataxias, are caused by inherited genetic defects. Some diseases that cause sustained muscle contraction limited to a particular muscle group (focal dystonia) are inherited, but others are caused by trauma. The cause of most cases of Parkinson's disease is unknown, although genes have been found for some familial forms.

iTunes 11: Miniplayer and Up Next tips
Two more tips about iTunes 11 from the readers of Mac OS X Hints:
While it's not obvious, you can use the MiniPlayer in iTunes 11 when you're in full-screen mode. To do so, switch out of full-screen mode, set iTunes to show on all desktops (right- or Control-click on the Dock icon, select Options > All Desktops), open the MiniPlayer as a separate window (Window > MiniPlayer), then click the full-screen button on the main window.
Note that if you have the MiniPlayer set to float above other windows (in the iTunes Advanced preferences), then it won't display when you switch to iTunes. This makes sense, of course, because you don't need it then. Also, this is the only way to get the MiniPlayer to work across spaces, if you use them. If iTunes is not in full-screen mode, then the MiniPlayer only displays in the same workspace as iTunes.

Hello there!
It's been a while. Partially because I've become a FreeBSD committer and had more productive stuff to do than writing in my weblog, and partially because my account was disabled after Google Summer of Code (Also, thanks to Google for SoC).
Since last time, I've been working on getting my gvinum work of this summer into the tree, but since this has to be reviewed before going into the tree, and 7.0-RELEASE is much more important right now, it's sort of on hold. In the meantime I've been working on implementing CVSmode for csup. This is something I've been meaning to do for a long time, but never found the big motivation until my exam-period before last christmas. So, I'll tell you a bit of what I've done here. For those of you unfamiliar with cvsup, it's a network CVS file synchronization tool which is heavily used in FreeBSD. However, it is written in Modula-3 and is therefore not very easy to maintain and it doesn't integrate into the FreeBSD base system very well. So, Maxime Henrion started a C rewrite of cvsup called csup.
First, a bit on how csup works (or the cvsup protocol). The client runs three threads performing these tasks:
- The lister, which examines the clients files, and sends information about them to the server.
- The detailer, which recieves commands from server on what needs to be done ("this file needs updating, send me the details of it's revisions).
- The updater, which recieves the actual updates from the server ("add this delta to the RCSfile").
More details on how the protocol works can be found on http://www.cvsup.org/howsofast.html
So, what is CVSmode anyway? In csups normal operation, csup requests the files from a specific branch, called checkout mode. This is the typical way a user would use csup, fetching the src-tree for RELENG_7 for instance. However, a developer would often like to have the FreeBSD CVS repository on his local machine, and this is where CVSmode plays a part. CVSmode means that csup will recieve the entire CVS repository, and also fetch updates to the actual RCSfiles. So far, csup does only support the checkout mode.
So, what's needed for CVSMode to work?
- Support for the protocol, so the client is able to not only act correctly on the commands from the server, but also respond correctly. This involves modifying the detailer and the updater part of csup. This part needs to be a bit cleaned up right now, but is in a working state.
- Correctly parse RCSFiles. Firstly, I made a lexer with flex and parser with yacc. Then I found out I needed reentrancy, and started using bison. After realizing using bison for this wasn't really nice since bison wasn't in base, I rewrote the parser in C.
- The ability to update RCSfiles. This required a RCSfile interface. This interface is used by both the parser and the updater, to import and edit RCSfiles. Writing this interface is probably what has taken most of my time.
- Writing the RCSFiles out with the new updates. This is done internally by the RCSfile implementation.
So, this is what I've been working on implementing the last month or two. And I have the most parts working. What's missing is a crucial part of (4). To write out the new RCSFiles to disk, a correct algorithm to apply diffs _and_ reverse diffs is needed. The algorithm for applying diff was already created by csups author, but the reverse diff algorithm is a bit different. The last week or so, I've been studying the algorithm used in cvsup, and I've started to implement something similar although a bit different in it's implementation. So, hopefully I'll have this work pretty soon, at least before people start switching over to some new version control system

"Dated!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 1, 2013
Warsaw has a lot of new hotels. Old In Warsaw would be anything built in the 90's. This hotel just feels and looks old and dated. Like most countries in Europe they don't follow the rules in the star rating system. This hotel claims 5 star but it Is a 4 star for sure. For a good price say 100 US it's not a bad deal but if your looking for 5 star luxury and service go somewhere else. On the positive side the beds are amazing with down mattress covers and high thread count sheets. I was looking forward to a big French breakfast but was horribly disappointed. My first impression was it looked like a motel in both presentation, selection and food quality. Would not stay there again, there are just too many choices in Warsaw these days to go back to something disappointing.

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 6 weeks - interviewed at Meditech in October 2013.
Interview Details Obtained a referral from a friend who worked at the company and submitted my application and resume through this friend. Initially I received an email after a few days saying they regretted to inform me that they wouldn't be hiring, but then they called me later that day saying the email was sent in error and they wanted me to come in. The rep from the recruiting department scheduled an interview three weeks in the future. The initial interview was fine, except they really harped on my college transcripts. I had been out of college for two years and already had another job at the time. It was four people at some managerial level. I was asked to prepare a ten minute presentation on any medical topic. It was mostly just to get a feel for my presentation skills and not about the content of the presentation so much. The interview lasted about 3 hours and at the end of it they had me fill out a few forms about background checks, reference verification, etc. I also had to write an essay about why I would be a good fit for the position, based on the detailed description of the position that they had given me during the interview. I got a call back a week later saying that the people I had interviewed with had decided to go in another direction but they wanted me to come back to interview with a different team. The second interview was two weeks later. It was with one regional manager and one person of unknown executive status who arrived late, stayed about ten minutes, then left to go to another meeting. This interview lasted about two hours. It was basically a repeat of the first interview. I did the same presentation and answered pretty much all the same questions. After this interview I felt pretty good, and I got a call the following week from recruiting offering me the position.
Interview Question – I had a withdrawal on my college transcript from a class that didn't matter to my degree during my senior year, and they asked me if this was an indication of an unwillingness to give effort to things that didn't strike me as particularly important. I understand the validity of the question but I just didn't expect them to give such close scrutiny to my college transcripts. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No salary negotiation. They offered 40,800 and I could take it or leave it. I have a liberal arts degree so that's about what I can expect at this time.

I had a phone interview with one of the top managers. It was mostly him sharing information about the position and benefits.
Then the recruiter brought me in for an interview. She wanted details on every job I have ever had in my life starting in high school. Then there was a three part written test. The office seemed nice and bright and open but once I started I found out that it is a very quiet place to work and my department commonly leaves the lights off all day.
Then I was brought back in to present to a group. It was my choice what to present but no details were given as to what they wanted and I had no idea who I was presenting to. It ended up being 5 managers, one of which was the office Director but I didn't know titles until after I was hired.

Very Easy Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 6+ weeks - interviewed at Meditech in December 2012.
Interview Details After applying at a college job fair, they gave a skype interview. They liked me and had me drive to Atlanta at my own expense, saying they would interview me and give me a few tests. Once I got there, they had me take tests that would have been easily taken online, and *didn't* interview me like they said they were. They conducted all the interviews on skype later. It was absurd, disorganized, and disrespectful to me as an applicant.
Interview Question – They gave me a programming test in their proprietary language after giving me a tutorial. I knew what I wanted to do, because I know how to write real programs, but didn't know how or even if their language did it. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – MEDITECH uses a proprietary language, which is a huge hindrance for your career and should be a huge red flag. I asked them when I was there why they use a proprietary language, and their answer was essentially "There were advantages, but they are becoming less clear as the field develops." Stay away. By the end of the process, being unemployed was preferable to working at MEDITECH. And probably better for my career.

Haunted Airfields
For Halloween, a collection of weird tales about airports and aircraft.
- By Rebecca Maksel
- AirSpaceMag.com, October 25, 2011
Nothing says "fear of flying" like a good aviation-related ghost story. So, in time for Halloween, we present a few haunting tales for your reading pleasure.
First up: It makes sense that the United States' largest international airport is home to both ghosts and outsize conspiracy theories. At least one Web site claims that Denver International (pictured during a lightning storm) is built atop Native American burial grounds. The rumor may have started, says the site, when the airport's public art program began playing Native American chants on a continuous audio loop near the pedestrian bridge linking Concourse A and the Jeppesen Terminal building. To be safe, in April 1995, Native American spiritual leaders performed a night-time ceremony to put any ancient spirits to rest. (Read the 1995 story in the alternative weekly newspaper Denver Westword here.)
Laura Coale, the director of media relations at Denver International, confirms that blessings were done at the site, but notes that archaeologists surveyed the area before airport construction began, and found no traces of any burial grounds.
Other reasons for the spooky vibe at DIA include the 32-foot-tall sculpture "Mustang," by artist Luis Jimenez (who was killed while working on the sculpture), which inspired 200 "protest haiku" to be delivered to the Denver mayor's office (Sample: Because of this thing / People think they are in hell / instead of Denver). The airport's underground tunnels, originally meant for a computerized baggage system, also are believed by some to be secret bunkers built for the 2012 apocalypse, or a place to warehouse space aliens. Then there are the airport's
"scary" murals depicting the destruction of the environment and the horrors of war, and a Masonic plaque (under which a time capsule is buried) bearing the words "New World Airport Commission."

While I'll admit that I'm a fan of ghost tales and that I like to watch or read them with as little light as possible at night, I'm also chilled to the marrow in broad daylight by these stories of "Haunted Airfields"--even the ones that might simply be--as you so eloquently put it--"a wild ghost chase." Thank you so much for getting into the--uh--spirit.

The two murals mentioned actually depict the children of the world, dressed in authentic native costumes of approximately 26 countries, overcoming the forces of evil and destruction. The positive panels are roughly twice the width of the dark and depressing panels, and are bathed in light and bright colors, showing dancing happy children. In "In Peace and Harmony with Nature", the artist's mother is depicted on the far right dancing in a bright red swirling dress, because, he said, she wasn't allowed to dance in life.
The gargoyles are seated in Samsonite suitcases (made in Denver), one in each of the two baggage claim areas. Gargoyles are not evil, but are protective and are in the baggage claim areas to protect your luggage. They were some of the last artworks to be installed. Had they been in place earlier that baggage system would have worked like a charm! The title of the work, "Notre Denver".

The Hornet story reminded me of when I was younger and had gone to hang out with my then-girlfriend and another couple by a lake near our town.
I went to releive myself and was approached by a young girl who looked to be about 12-15 wearing a flower print dress. She had long hair that looked wet and no shoes. I was embarassed that she had caught me "mid stream" and offered a "hi" to her. She was just staring and she faded from view.
I was totally freaked out and ran back to the van. Thru some research I later found out that a young girl had drowned in the lake back in the 1920s.

I read on another website the DIA was built to be shaped like a swastika and had unknown languages written on the floor. They even said the languages may be alien.

my arms and forearms are decently proportioned but my wrists are so damn small. anything i can do for that?
No, that's a bone thing. The only bones that can be perpetuated to grow by weight lifting is primarily within your axial skeleton. Heavy squats, heavy deads, heavy shrugs, anything that creates an enormous amount of stress down the center of your body, but it has to be enormous. The threshold of your bones to be stressed to the point of growth excitation is pretty high once you're an adult.
Under that principle, I imagined if you did Db wrists curls with 100lbs db you might be able to excite that process, but you would thrash your joints, so I don't recommend that.
Just work hard on your forearms and create the illusion of thickness.
P.S. I don't know your age, but if you're still young enough, then you might still have some extra bone coming in during the upcoming years. Otherwise, hit those forearms, both flexors and extensors (and I'll throw in brachioradialus)
I agree with VOLCOM,it is the bone thing,there is litlle you can do about it.And bones,tendons and ligaments develop much slower then muscles,thats why we hit somethimes in wall,not been able to progress in strength.Only reason why is this happening is that muscles must wait bones,ligaments and tendons,their process of development which is very slow.
That is one of the reasons of using steroids in strength sports,they can speed up this process.But how much i know there is one suplement which can infuence the same,it is cissus and super cissus,try with them.
There is also one way how you can build up muscles around wrist,and that way your's wrists will look bigger and be.Have you heard about fascial stretching?You must hit your wrist with one exercisse,like plate wrist curls,pump them with blood strong as you can,and after that you must stretch them,this is painfull but it works.First you stretch them easy 10sec,rest 5sec and stretch them 30sec so hard that you can't stand it.Stretching should be after every set.Fascial stretching is one of the important things in bodybuilding,but i dont know is it good for strength sports.
ive got realy small wrists too man, dont worry about it...plus it;ll make your forarms look bigger..lol
Serge Nubret had 7" wrists.
Yeah, don't worry about it, it's not a big thing.
John is right, though. Huge arms + small wrists looks better.
haha easy for you big wristers to say. well i kinda figured there isnt much i can do about it... guess ill just keep workin my freakin huge arms :bb:
baby wrists here too.. it's no biggie
I have small wrist, 6.75 at 5'8"(are those marks right?i always get confused which is which)I used to hate it but then learned it creates a better illusion.I read flex wheeler has small wrist and he was known for being able to stand next to someone 50lbs heavier,but look the same size.
If it makes you feel better. My wrists are 6 1/4".
haha ok i feel much better. thanks am and ax guys
Mine are 6 and a half inches.
Just gives me more motivation to build the rest of my arms to their potential really.
I am 6'4" and have 7" wrists, and have really small bones all over. Do any of you guys have joint pain bc your bones are small? Seems to me if I had larger knees, elbows and wrists, I could with stand more frequent heavy training...
I have pencil wrists as well. Arnold's wrists look really small to but it makes the forarms look that much bigger!
People have complemented my arms saying my wrists really make them look bigger (both in real life and here on the interwebz).
I wouldn't worry about it.
my wrists are very small also I can wrap may hand around it @ the bone middle finger to thumb very easily measures about 6 in.

1. Winning writers will be announced on the Hijabi Monologues-Official Facebook fan page.
2. Winning writers will be given the opportunity to work with an HM performer in directing a performance of their stories.
3. Hijabi Monologues will share the winning stories on YouTube and the Hijabi Monologues-Official Facebook fan page.
Entry is free.
When you submit your story, you will be asked to provide:
1. Confirmation that the monologue submitted is completely original to you. You are the present and exclusive and sole owner of all right, title, and interest in and to the story.
2. Confirmation that the monologue has not been published, used in an anthology, or winner of any other contests.
3. Confirmation that the monologue is a true story.
1. One (1) entry per person (one monologue).
2. Scripts in Microsoft Word (.doc) are requested.
3. The monologue should be double-spaced and no longer than 800 words or 6 minutes.
4. Contact information (name, E-mail address, etc.) on the cover page only.
5. Please put the title of your monologue at the top of each page.
6. Please paginate your script at the bottom of each page: 1 of 5, 2 of 5 etc
7. Submit your monologue by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com the subject "Story Contest Submission 2012."
1. The hijab may be used as a "prop" but should not be the centerpiece or story subject.
2. Your story does not have to be something absolutely crazy. In even the utterly mundane, there can be a narrative.
3. Use explicit regional references. Do not shy away from using Muslim (eg. He broke his wudu), cultural/ regional specific (eg. She was hella mad.) or ethnic (eg. Her dupatta was always freshly pressed) lingo. At the same time, the story should be accessible to a wide audience.
4. Stories about sexuality are fine but keep in mind that Muslim women have been represented as hyper-sexual, asexual and sexually repressed in popular film and literature. Be creative!
5. Stories written for young audiences are welcomed.
6. As an exercise, highlight the elements that are specific to the storyteller's quirks. Then highlight the elements that are "universal." Both of these elements are very important.
7. Read your monologue aloud. It should sound like a story–and less like a campaign speech, sermon and/or spoken word poetry.
8. Again, local stories (i.e., specific to a particular region, city or town) are a big plus!
9. Keep in mind that we receive a lot of submissions along the theme of "people you meet" or "why I am 'exceptional'." Tell us another story!

Recipe by MickeyRenee
"This pie is so smooth and creamy that it will melt in your mouth! It's always requested by my family members for its ultimate peanut butter flavor."
Watch video tips and tricks
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (9 inch) prepared chocolate cookie crumb crust
This recipe is awesome! It's got the least ingredients of all the other pies I looked at, and it is SO easy to make. I made it exact the first time, my family said it was "too sweet". (As if there were such a thing...but they are not that into sweets & when they do have them, they tend to think they have more sweetness than other people.) When I made it a second time, I cut the amount of sugar in half. Still "too sweet" for some family. I cut the sugar all the way down to 1/3 cup. Just right for them. AND, it still tastes sweet to those who DO eat sweets a lot & like the sweetness. I also changed from regular peanut butter to "natural" peanut butter on the most recent pie...and I think that toned some of the sweet down also. The *only* reason I changed the sugar amount originally was b/c of my family. I love the original...and I like the less sugar versions I made also.
I guess I'm in the minority here but I didn't love this pie.I thought I would have because I love everything in it but it was way too sweet. I realize that it's dessert and it's supposed to be sweet but it was really over the top. Even my six year old who could eat eat sugar by the spoonfuls didn't like it. I think an 8oz block of cream cream instead of 3oz cream cheese might have made a difference. It may have cut the sweetness of it somewhat. Don't think I would make it again anyway.

This is outstanding. My family asks for it all the time. A variation is: instead of peanut butter, use Nutella (a hazelnut-chocolate spread) ooo boy
Heavenly! It is very smooth and creamy tasting. I make this according to the directions and I top mine with whip cream, chocolate and caramel syrup and crushed Reeses cups. You can also store this in the freezer. It won;t freeze solid, it just stays firm and cold and it is best eaten when it is firm and cold, I highly recommend trying it. I accidently discovered it and now I store mine in the freezer all the time.
This was pretty good, but I have another recipe from this sight that my family likes better.
WOW! that's all I can say really. I used an oreo crust and I drizzled chocolate syrup individually on each slice and it turned out to be fantastic. It was a little hard to mix the peanut butter, confectioner's sugar, and cream cheese together by hand, but boy was it worth it. I don't hand out 5-star ratings frivolously, but this one really deserves it! If I make it again I will experiment with different toppings. Thanks for the recipe!
This pie tastes impressive for very little work! Taking other reviewer's advice, I used 1 cup pb, 8 oz cream cheese, and 1 cup regular sugar--SO GOOD! UPDATE: for a really delicious twist, try adding slice bananas to this pie--I put them in the crust before adding the pb filling.
Made this pie for a pie auction and it was a hit! Drizzled Hershey's chocolate syrup over the filling and crumbled Reese's candy bar on top. Will definitely make again!

Recipe by JosiesMom
"I wanted to find a way to make beef brisket that wasn't a BBQ recipe but wasn't just plain beef either. This is what I came up with and my family LOVED it."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (5 pound) beef brisket
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup Merlot wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup beef stock
1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 large onion, sliced into rings
2 stalks celery, with leaves
3 large carrots
4 large cloves garlic, diced
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
What a great find! I used the crock pot option, taking 7 hours on low. I was missing a few items, so took a chance and replaced merlot with cabernet, and basalmic with red wine vinegar. (In other words, any red wine and vinegar works.) I also added about an eighth a cup of brown sugar. Sorry for obliterating the recipe, but my family really liked it. It was a bit too sweet after a full serving for my 9 year old, so a full 5 stars to you (since I was the one who added the sugar). On top of garlic mashed potatoes, a winner! We will make it again.
This was pretty good but certainly not five stars. If I made it again, I probably wouldn't make it the same way. I cooked it in the oven for four hours - used a 4 pound brisket but it did not come out fork tender. I used fresh rosemary, extra carrots and I added some liquid smoke, I also thickened the juices to make a gravy. The carrots were delicious but the meat a little too tough.
38 Ratings
It worked great--I skipped marinating it and just tossed all the ingredients into a slow cooker for 6 hours on high (or even 7). Delicious!
This was very good! I did it in the crock pot and we loved it. I'll be sad when the leftovers are gone!
We've been wanting to try a beef brisket for a long time. It was right around New Years and it didn't make sense to try a BBQ recipe so we tried this one. I'm not a vegetable eater, but the sauce made all the veggies taste great and my boyfriend and I were fighting over them. The second time we did it we added potatos! YUM!
Great new recipe...however I thought the balsamic came through a little too strong but my hubby, who hates vinegar of all types, loved it. Very tender and sliced beautifully. Will definitely make again, with a reduction in the balsamic.
My whole family enjoyed this with mashed potatoes. I threw in a few extra carrots because we just love them. Thanks for the recipe!!
A knock-out! My family gobbled this up like there was no tomorrow, and they're not big beef eaters!

The Incident Command System, or ICS, is a standardized on-scene management system for emergency responders. ICS is based upon a flexible, scalable response organization providing a common framework within which people can work together effectively. These people may be drawn from multiple agencies that do not routinely work together, and ICS is designed to give standard response and operation procedures to reduce the problems and potential for miscommunication on such incidents. The system's strength lies in its modular nature and its ability to expand and contract with the complexity and severity of an event.
The Standardized Emergency Management System, or SEMS, was established by the state of California to provide effective management of multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional emergencies within the state. The system incorporates the principles of the Incident Command System (ICS), as well as existing mutual aid systems in order to form a comprehensive plan that is used by almost every city, county and special district in the state. The core principles of SEMS are aid in communication and response by providing a common management system and language. It is intended to facilitate the flow of information within and between levels of the system, and facilitate coordination among all responding agencies.
The National Incident Management System, or NIMS, is a system developed by the federal government and used across the country to coordinate emergency preparedness and incident management among various federal, state, and local agencies. Like SEMS, NIMS is based on the standardized and flexible Incident Command System and is designed to allow diverse agencies to work together effectively to prepare for and respond to emergencies.
The chart below illustrates how all these systems come together to form a multi-agency coordination system in Orange County.

Canada's 145th birthday is just around the corner and there are a handful of local events planned to mark the occasion.
If you're looking to get out and celebrate Canada Day on Sunday with others here are a few options:
. In honour of Canada's birthday, the Delta Museum & Archives Society will be spilling out along Delta Street in Ladner Village to host its popular July 1 party.
This family-oriented, fun-filled event kicks off at 9 a.m. with the traditional pancake and sausage breakfast, cooked by the North Delta, Ladner and Scottsdale Lions Clubs. Breakfast will be available for purchase until 11 a.m., with all proceeds this year going to support the Delta Museum & Archives Society's children educational programs.
Official ceremonies will begin at 11 a.m. with the singing of the national anthem and messages from local dignitaries. Morning activities will conclude around noon with the cutting of a giant birthday cake, with enough for everyone to enjoy.
Party attendees will be entertained with toe-tapping, dance-in-the-street music by the Celtic band Doghouse, as well as opportunities to enjoy a fun morning of outdoor crafts, activities and contests. Visit the archives historical display booth to learn about Delta's history. The museum will be open for attendees to explore the three floors of exhibits while kids can join in a museum scavenger hunt to find clues and facts that showcase our Canadian provinces.
Festivities will be held outside the Delta Museum - along Delta Street, Ladner - from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. For further information, contact the Delta Museum & Archives Society at 604-946-9322 or visit www.deltamuseum.ca.
. The Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Lions Club will once again host a Canada Day party at Diefenbaker Park.
It's estimated over 3,000 people attend the celebration, notes Brad Gaze, one of the organizers with the local Lions Club.
The event gets going at 10 a.m. Kids can enjoy crafts, face painting and balloons as well as music. Those who get hungry can dig in to hotdogs and popcorn. Around 2,500 hotdogs are usually served, notes Gaze.
At 1 p.m. guests will be introduced followed by the singing of O Canada and the cake cutting.
Diefenbaker Park is located at the corner of 56th Street and 1st Avenue in Tsawwassen.

Ben Nighthorse Campbell: Not Retired
You may know Ben Nighthorse Campbell as a Colorado Senator who was elected in 1993 and served until 2005 or as the sponsor of the bill that established the National Museum of the American Indian.
But add master jeweler to the list. For decades, Campbell has crafted necklaces, bracelets and other pieces made with gems, sterling silver and gold in his studio in Ignacio, Colorado. Most recently, he has created a Creation Pendant, sold only at the National Museum of the American Indian with proceeds funding its programs.
Modeled after a talisman worn by 14th-century Moors, the silver pendant with a turquoise center stone is meant to bring good fortune to its wearers
If Campbell's artistic side is news to you, get this. He also captained the American judo team at the 1964 Olympics.
