2012 Christmas Present

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
Comments about LEGO Technic Crawler Crane (9391):
This was a very difficult set to build. My son was 6 at the time he received it for Christmas in 2012. I would only recommend if your child is within the age it recommends on the box. Unfortunately not long after we came home from Christmas vacation this went to pieces and I don't have it in me to rebuild the whole thing again.

it is cool
Exceeded expectations
By LegoNut Mom
from Colorado
My son ultimately liked the value of the set. He plays pretend construction site, building things up and knocking them down. He really likes the fact that the arm turns, raises, and lowers. He didn't like that the tracks have to be adjusted pretty often, but said it was a minor thing. Overall, he was very pleased.

This was my first lego technic set.I was very impressed by the functions. I loved the fact that it came with a grappler so you can pick up any lego brick.But it was my first Technic set so it was a tad bit hard to build for me but other then that it was a fantastic set.
Challenging, but fun
By legolij1028
from holts summit
I was extremely impressed with this set. when i got it, I did'nt know how challenging it would be, being new to technic, but it's difficulty was just right. It's a great set for novice to intermediate technic builders. I rate it 5 stars. Great job, LEGO!

4 Secrets for Eating Your Way to Better Heart Health
4 Secrets for Eating Your Way to Better Heart Health
Americans are eating themselves into the cardiac ward, quite literally! Research has shown time and again that saturated fats in meat, whole-fat dairy, and other animal products, and trans-fatty acids found in fried and processed foods have deleterious effects on the cardiovascular system and increase risk of heart disease—but people still insist on eating them.
A smarter approach is to cut these "heart attack" foods out of your diet, and make these four dietary changes to keep your heart healthy and strong.
1. Get your daily dose of fiber. For patients with heart disease, fiber is extremely important. We have known for decades that a high-fiber diet results in a reduction in cholesterol levels. A study published in JAMA, which followed the dietary habits of men ages 40 to 75, suggests that adequate fiber also protects against heart disease. The study found a strong relationship between fiber intake and decreased risk of heart attack. My favorite source of fiber is flaxseed.
Flaxseed provides a high amount of soluble and insoluble fiber. One-fourth cup (50 grams) has 11.7 grams of fiber. I suggest incorporating ¼ cup of freshly ground flaxseed into your diet each day. These tiny golden or brown seeds have a rich, nutty flavor. Because the oils in ground flaxseed can become rancid quickly, I don't recommend using pre-ground seed or flax oil. Instead purchase whole flaxseeds and grind them just before consumption.
2. Pick the right protein. Make sure you get adequate amounts of high-quality, low-fat protein from skinless poultry, fish (especially salmon), egg whites, beans, legumes, and occasional servings of lean meat. One serving is equal to four ounces of animal protein or four to six egg whites.
3. Choose the right carbohydrates. When it comes to carbohydrates you need to make sure you choose the right ones. Vegetables, beans, and legumes should be a mainstay in your diet. They are high in fiber and have a low-glycemic index, which means they promote a slow, sustained release of blood sugar and insulin. Limit your fruit intake to one to two pieces per day.
You should also avoid starches, sugars, and other carbohydrates with a high-glycemic index. They are rapidly broken down in the digestive tract and cause sharp spikes in blood sugar. High-glycemic index foods contribute to insulin resistance, which is a common underlying cause of hypertension and abnormalities in cholesterol and triglycerides.
4. Eat healthy fats in moderation. These include omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseed and cold-water fish, monounsaturated oils such as extra virgin olive oil, and unprocessed omega-6 polyunsaturated fats in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils.
Now it's your turn: Do you have a trick for getting heart-healthy foods into your diet?

Road works. Inconsiderate drivers. Congestion. Today's drivers have their fair share of stress already. But now there is a new malaise for the modern motorist: range anxiety.
That is the term given to drivers of electric cars that are struck by the sudden fear that their vehicle does not have enough charge to reach its destination. Most of us have experienced that sinking feeling when the little orange indicator light comes on to tell us we are low on petrol, but there is not a gas station in sight. Imagine that, combined with the feeling that you get when your cellphone starts beeping because the battery is low, and you are nowhere near a plug. That gets you close to the feeling of range anxiety.
It is an interesting phenomenon, particularly when you begin to look at how many of us actually use our cars. According to the US Bureau of Transportation Studies, 78% of drivers do less than 40 miles (65km) a day – a trivial distance for many of today's electric cars. In fact, the poster child of electric cars – the Tesla – has a range of 300 miles (485km) using some batteries.
According to, Dr Richard Sassoon, of Stanford University, there are "three main reasons" that many of us choose the internal combustion engine over its cleaner, quieter alternative.
"One is the short range that an electric vehicle can travel between charges, and that's based on the size of the battery," he said. "The second is the lack of a sufficient charging infrastructure, and the third is that even if you can charge, it takes a long time to charge – several hours. That means you're going to have to take a break in your trip in order to charge your vehicle."
Researchers and firms are trying to tackle all of these problems. Firms, such as Better Place, have started building battery "switching stations" that allow drivers to pull in and swap their batteries as easily as filling up with gas, whilst countless researchers are developing more efficient batteries.
But Dr Sasson believes there may be another answer: recharging roads.
Engineers in his lab are developing a way to wirelessly charge electric cars from magnetic coils embedded into the road. The car would pick up the power via another coil, meaning – in theory – that you would never have to make a charging stop again.
The system works using a technique called "magnetic resonance coupling". You can think about resonance as the phenomenon that allows an opera singer to smash a glass using only the power of their voice. In that case, when the singer hits a note that has the same resonant frequency as the glass, they couple and energy begins to build up in the glass, eventually causing it to smash.
Instead of using acoustic resonance, the Stanford team use the resonance of electromagnetic waves. A coil in the road that is connected to a power line is made to vibrate with the same resonance frequency as the coil on the bottom of the car, allowing energy to flow between them.
Traffic charge
It builds on pioneering work done at MIT in 2006 which showed the technique could be used in stationary situations, to power televisions and other gadgets. The Stanford system now claims to have upped the efficiency dramatically. They have come up with designs of coil that allow 97% efficient transmission of power over a distance of about 2m (6ft). Using models, they estimate they can transfer up to 10kW of power.

Battleground Twitter
Battleground Twitter
As the Gaza conflict rages online, is social media now an instrument of war?
As Israel continues air strikes in Gaza, its army is also increasingly moving to war tactics online. The Israeli army announced its military operation not through a news conference, but on Twitter.
Both the Israeli army and Hamas are posting updates on their attacks in real time. Israelis and Palestinians used dueling hashtags as they battled for control of the narrative on social media.
Twitter also became a vital outlet for Gazans to spread information even after the power was cut off. The hacker collective Anonymous is reportedly fighting to keep Gaza online after fears spread that the Internet might be cut.
In this episode of The Stream, we speak to:
Omar Baddar @OmarBaddar
Social Media Manager, Arab American Institute
Avi Mayer @AviMayer
Director of New Media, Jewish Agency for Israel

Good Luck Aristotle
22 November 2007
On the 14th of October I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to release a koala back into it's natural habitat after he recovered from being hit by a car. Lucky for Aristotle, a member of the public called Wildlife Warriors at the Australian Wildlife Hospital and they were quick to respond, rescuing the male koala and bringing him back to the hospital for treatment. After our amazing vets worked their magic, Aristotle was on the road to recovery.Aristotle was rescued from Redland Bay, an area of well established koala habitat, about one hour's drive away from the hospital. So on Sunday night after work, I collected the fully recovered Aristotle and we set out for his former home range. As soon as we arrived, he knew he was home, as he was eager to get out of the transport cage and return to a life in the trees.
We found the perfect tree, Eucalyptus Robusta, a beautiful Swamp Mahogany, and after a few bellows to let the other resident koalas know he was back, he settled down and had a quick bite to eat, before settling down for a sleep. Good Luck to Aristotle and thanks to all the staff at the Wildlife Hospital for giving him and thousands of other animals a second chance.

GoPro footage taken on 31 May 2012 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmHSgtoE_Qo
I rode 20kms in dark to pool – no real problems. I then rode 15km from Marion Swimming Centre to Unley. One very close bus. Bike Lanes appear and disappear. Cars come from left and right. One man texting as he drives half in the bike lane. Why can't we have proper bike lanes in Adelaide?
I complained to Adelaide Metro (no response) and to Southlink - I was told it would be investigated.
As always - cycle like you are invisible - hate to be paranoid but it has saved me many a times.
Why can't we have the present road rules enforced?
I would agree that relying on someone else to keep you safe may not be a good strategy.
It would be interesting to know what the police need from a video to pursue prosecuting people.
considering your route would it be shorter to use part of the green way and then Winston / East Ave. to the Mike Turtor bike way then sneak though the back streets?
Well...it is kinda hard since they hating us for by law it is legal to ride side by side using one car lane.
Some people simply hate our right for space on the road.
I think someone need to do similar campaign as "share the road" campaign and tell them to pass a cyclist, the driver need pass them at least with 1 to 1,5 m space between bike and vehicle.
Part of the problem IMHO is that the skill set of the average driver doesn't include knowing where the left side of their vehicle is. Yesterday I watched my wife back out of the garage and nearly take off the left side mirror. watch people trying to parallel park their vehicles......how often do you see people actually get out of their cars to see how close to the kerb they are. How many times have you had a car sit behind you and wait till they can swing over the white line to pass you...even though there's enough room on your side to fit the car and the Tour de France peleton.
Part of the problem IMHO is that the skill set of the average driver doesn't include being able to drive.
Waiting is pretty much better than forcing to get through a small space.
I am still remember a stupid mitsubishi mirage with P on it, forcing to get through me and passed me with only 20 cm gap between me and that stupid car.
I am on main lane on anzac highway, I was forced to use main lane because there was a construction on cycling lane.
As considerate cyclist, I am cycling on the left side of the lane but it seems sometimes it is better to be a selfish bastard to use a whole lane for my own safety.
I think most of driver need is patience, braking, and how not to be paranoid.
I am driving in my home country and also here, but when I am going to driving school here I am quite surprised how the instructor rather than teaching, they are simply programming us with stupid sequence.
So rather than thinking what's going on the street, learner are busy with stupid sequence of everything.
Thanks Don. I did it this morning - it was much less stressful except for getting lost a couple of times (signage could be much better for first time users). This stress is infinately preferable to trucks and buses.
Well....I experienced similar thing like yours, passed by a bus very close like in the video.
But what makes it slightly worse, I was on bicycle lane.
Near miss with car sometimes happen to me too.
It is why I do always turn on light even in daylight.
Yep, I've spend a lot of time cycling through the marion Area.
Many roads have bike lanes at the lights, but they disappear at the other end of the intersection.
Its very dangerous because cars trucks and buses pull up beside you and when you take of legally you have nowhere to go.
In this circumstance its safer to run the red but there's often no opportunity because the roads are too busy.
They need to either remodel the intersections or give us a traffic light sequence that gives us a head start.
What! Give Australian cyclists good facilities and/or priority with traffic lights? It would be a shock to cyclists and drivers. :)
Often the place they are most needed is on the far side of intersections where bikes and motor vehicles are competing to squeeze into the same lane. Once you are already on the road at least you have some claim on the road space (not that it is always respected as evidenced by this video)

As a case manager for the Salvation Army's Harbour Light program on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, Jeffry Banks has seen death.
In the neighbourhood where he works, it's an unfortunate, yet common reality.
But the Port Coquitlam resident and father never expected death would come so close to home.
On Monday, that's exactly what happened when his daughter and five of her Grade 2 classmates discovered the body of a man beside a creek just outside school boundaries at Irvine Elementary.
Banks asked The NOW not to use his daughter's name for the story.
It was about 10 o'clock that morning when Banks got a call no parent ever wants to get.
As a father of a daughter with ADHD, it wasn't unusual to hear from the school that she'd had a bad day.
But this was different. The man on the other end of the line identified himself as being with the RCMP.
"As soon as he said that, I said 'What's gone on?'" Banks told The NOW.
"I instantly went into fear, something bad has happened."
Instead, he was told his daughter and a group of students had come across a body, they were talking to counsellors and, as a father, he was asked if he could come down to the school to take part.
Banks left work immediately. On his way back to Port Coquitlam, he wondered exactly what state his daughter was in and how the situation was being handled.
But all those concerns were quickly alleviated as he walked through the school doors.
The kids involved, including his daughter, were busy colouring and playing on the computer.
Everyone was calm. One of the investigating officers, who actually attended the school when she was a child, showed the kids pictures of her when she roamed the halls.
As one of the first parents on site, Banks said the whole situation was handled perfectly.
"The school was really accommodating them," he said.
"So whatever they were experiencing out there, no one was poking or prodding. It was really well done."
He said the line of questioning aimed at the children was tasteful, and as a concerned parent, he was impressed.
However, the children did see something many adults haven't dealt with ever in their lives.
Banks described what his daughter told him she had seen.
"They said that he had fallen, his head was in the river," he said.
As she put it, the dead man's hands were out in front of him as if he were "doing a Superman."
Banks interprets the description as if the victim had his hands out as if he had fallen.
He said what first drew the kids' attention was a bike and backpack abandoned along a fence that straddles the school boundary.
He estimated the body was about seven metres down a path.
The children never got close to the body or crossed the fence.
"I count my blessings because he was face down in the water, so these kids aren't going to be haunted by the look of death," Banks said.
Instead, they quickly ran to a teacher.
"The kids did exactly what you hope your kids would do, they'd seen something that was out of place and they ran to their teacher."
The students were promptly ushered into the school and police were called.
As of Thursday, the identity of the dead man had not been released, nor had a cause of death, but Coquitlam RCMP said the man is not related to the school in any way.
Police don't believe the man, who is estimated to be in his late 30s, met with foul play.
In the coming days, Banks said he and his daughter's mom would continue to talk to their child about the ordeal whenever feelings are brought up.
The family also expects to take advantage of the help offered to them by Victim Services.
"It's important the kids know it wasn't their fault and they did the right thing by telling a grownup," he said.
"If that's what she's getting in school, she's in the right school and the right setting."

Poyet shows off ball skills on Brighton seafront
9:36am Tuesday 18th September 2012 in News By Neil Vowles
Albion manager Gus Poyet turned back the clock to show he has lost none of his skills.
Poyet, who was famed for his acrobatic volleys during a career with Chelsea and Spurs, proved he still had it when he took part in a game of footvolley along Brighton seafront.
The Uruguayan appeared alongside coaches Charlie Oatway and Mauricio Taricco and visited Yellowave beach sports venue in Madeira Drive, Brighton, to try out the sport which originates from Brazil and involves teams of two players using their head, chest and feet to pass a ball over a net. Yellowave sports manager Damo Sulc said: "I was really impressed with his skill.
"I even saw him do a bicycle kick to win a point."

macbook 13,3 retina compatibility
i would like to know if this ssd is compatible with macbook pro retina 13,3. thanks in advance!
- Asked by Apostolis P
- 12-Mar-2013
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerNo, the 13" and 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display use a custom SSD designed by Apple to support the thinner profile and the non-upgradeable design. This 512 GB SSD uses the standard 2.5" hard drive design, making it compatible with most laptops and desktops, but not the 13" or 15" Macbook Pro with Retina Display.

Is this an MLC (Multi Level Cell) or SLC (Single Level Cell) type of SSD?
- Asked by Sheppard P from Austin
- 12-Aug-2010
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerAll SSD you see on the market are MLC, SLC would cost 4 times the amount... and SLC's don't go as high has 512 GB yet. The only negative about MLC is that they only last 10 years.

Will a solid state drive work in a MacPro1,1 ?
- Asked by Gerald S from Toronto
- 27-Oct-2010
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerSolid-state drives, generally? Yes, they work in a Mac Pro 1,1 if you can get them to fit physically -- nearly all SSDs are 2.5" or 1.8", and the Mac Pro drive caddies are built for 3.5" drives.
This Apple "512GB Solid-State Drive Kit for Mac Pro" includes a specialized adapter bracket that connects the 2.5" SSD to a late-model Mac Pro drive caddy. This specialized Apple bracket does NOT fit a Mac Pro 1,1 drive caddy but you can easily find generic "hot-swap ready" brackets elsewhere which do fit. (You won't actually be "hot swapping" but you do need the spatial orientation of the two connectors vis-a-vis the backplane to be right.)
Apple OS X 10.7 (& later) enables industry-standard TRIM support on Apple SSDs, only. Thus, this Apple 500GB drive in an after-market bracket in a Mac Pro 1,1 caddy will work just fine -- I am writing this response using exactly that configuration.- Answered by John G from The Villages

access speed
I am writing a car-share matching program and wonder whether solid-state memory has better access speed than hard drive as well as better bandwidth
- Asked by Peter S from Dubbo
- 20-May-2011
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYou can definitely feel the difference in speed. Like other people who have changed from a HDD to a SSD say: it feels like you've bought a newer macbook. Another point to consider is your SATA speed. Personally, my Macbook had SATA II with a SATA 1 HDD. Now, with this SSD, I have SATA II on both the MacBook and the SSD. So there definitely is better bandwidth and better access speed.

i want to swapout my HD for a SSD. Can i install lion on a blank empty SSD? Or must i clone my old drive?
- Asked by Optimus P from Salt Lake City
- 6-Nov-2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerI'm assuming you have a Mac Pro desktop? If so, you can follow my instructions here:
If you don't have Lion on a USB drive to install from, read this. The simple answer is yes but you have to partition the SSD drive to be a boot drive via disk utility. See below for details.
Turn off computer. Open up the side panel on computer and remove the drive sled from one of the empty bays, and slide in the new SSD Drive. After starting your computer back up, the Mac immediately recognizes it as a solid state drive and promptly asks to initialize it via disk utility. I selected one partition and named it Mac HD, and under options selected GUID partition table. Using Carbon Copy Cloner, I cloned my startup drive to the SSD Drive (Mac HD). That took about 2.5 hours. After it was done, I opened up System Preferences > Startup Disk, and selected Mac HD, then hit the Restart button in the Startup Disk preferences.
After restart, the SSD was the primary drive and I was able to repartition the old drive (or erase it) and use it for storage or Time Machine backups.- Answered by Thomas N from Dorchester

Will the 512GB Solid State Drive Kit originally meant for Macpro with part no. MC731ZM/A, work also with Macbook Pro 2010 and 2011 models?
- Asked by Sheeba N from Bangalore
- 18-Oct-2012
- Flag as inappropriate
Best AnswerYes it will, it can fit your computer, if you either take out your HDD and replace it with a SSD or Replace your Optical drive with a SSD to MacBook pro converter and SSD.
ifixit.com is a awesome site, which can help you do this with guides.
I highly prefer another SSD, then this. This one is very expensive. If you do not want your warranty to get avoided, then you should take it to Apple. If you do not have any warranty, then you should do this by yourself or take it to apple or anyway or another shop.- Answered by Samad G

- Asked by Fabio A from Miami

Best Answer
As long as your computer uses serial ATA connection it will work fine, it is only how the data is stored, i.e. on a chip rather than a spinning disk. It will also lower power consumption and heat generation. My MacBook Pro lasts around 45 mins longer on battery power since installing SSD.

Making Land Work: Easements, Covenants and Profits à Prendre
- Author:
- The Law Commission
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
'Making Land Work: Easements, Covenants and Profits à Prendre (HC 1067)' reports the Law Commission's recommendations to simplify, modernise and enhance the law of easements, covenants and profits à prendre.
These rights are essential to the effective use of land and are relied upon by a significant proportion of property owners in England and Wales. Parts of the current law are ancient, contradictory and unfit for modern society.
The report recommends reform where it is needed, while preserving those aspects of the law that function as they should. The recommendations would not affect the validity and enforceability of existing rights.
The reforms would:
make it possible for the benefit and burden of positive obligations to be enforced by and against subsequent owners.
simplify and make clearer the rules relating to the acquisition of easements by prescription (or long use of land) and implication, as well as the termination of easements by abandonment.
give greater flexibility to developers to establish rights and obligations that allow modern estates to function.
facilitate the creation of easements that allow a substantial use of land by the benefiting owner (for example, rights to park a car).
expand the jurisdiction of the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal to allow for the discharge and modification of easements and profits created post-reform.

I'm a newbie who always called the "guy" for any and all lawn, interior/exterior home repairs. I recently bought a 1929 home and many of the walls are plaster. They are blatantly uneven with lots of holes. How do I fix them? Can I hang thin drywall over it, sand it down, or do I need to knock the walls down and then hang drywall? Jay Shreck | |||
plasterers in the day were pretty particular about laying even walls. so those crummy spots are there because somebody more recent has been chopping open walls to do something. since they can't refinish walls, I postulate they did something that was not a positive. whatever workmanship is behind those rotten sections is probably subpar. what I would do is take a fiber inspection camera, poke a couple half inch holes here and there, and see what they did. my hunch is that they were replacing knob and tube wiring, but considering the crummy patch work, they may have been replacing SOME of that stuff and doing creepy splices to the rest. in other words, window dressing. that kind of slop can actually increase the hazards. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
Got some pictures? Has the wiring ever been upgraded? Any idea if there's even insulation in the walls? Has a new elecrical panel been installed? Reason I'm asking is if the walls are that bad that's a great time to get rid of the old plaster and lath, install new wiring, add fire blocking and insulate. joecaption | ||||

Richert tosses six strong innings; Monarchs beat Wheat Kings 5-4WICHITA - Zach Richert threw 10 pitches in the first inning of the Hutchinson Monarchs' 5-4 victory over the Wichita Wheat Kings in a loser's bracket game of the NBC Midwest Regional at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium.
Nine of them were strikes. Contact was made on none of them. The lefty struck out the side and set the tone for his fourth victory of the summer - a six-inning outing where he allowed just two runs while striking out eight. "It definitely set the tone," he said. "It makes a difference to start off ahead in the count. I was able to get everyone down in the count." His performance helped the Monarchs live to fight another day. They will face the Derby Twins today at 11 a.m. at Lawrence-Dumont. If anyone suspects that this tournament doesn't mean as much to Hutchinson because it already has a bid to the NBC World Series in hand, guess again. "We came here to win," said Monarchs coach Deron McCue. "We want to win this tournament and get the best seed we can get." The Monarchs weren't an offensive juggernaut Sunday, but they didn't need to be against a Wheat Kings pitching staff that allowed 10 walks and hit a batter. That helped to supplement a six-hit performance and kept plenty of traffic on the base paths. "Six hits and 10 walks equals 16 hits," McCue said. "That's how I look at it. A walk is as good as a hit." But the timely hitting - a bugaboo for this team all summer - continues to be a problem. The Monarchs got a bases-loaded walk late in the game and scored another run on a wild pitch which kept them from leaving a couple of rallies empty handed. The biggest hit of the game came in the second inning when Wheat Kings starter Robert Gumaro walked the bases full and then surrendered a long double up the left-center field gap to Scott Splett that cleared the bases and gave Hutchinson a 3-0 lead. Richert was dominant in his first trip through the Wichita lineup. He surrendered just a single hit and through three innings had thrown just a scant 29 pitches. "I knew (the pitch count) was low," he said. "I didn't know how low. I just knew I felt real good out there today." The lefty was spotting his off-speed stuff and had just enough pop on his fastball to keep the Wheat Kings off balance. Wichita scored a run in the fourth inning on a double and infield hit and an infield grounder, but Richert wiggled out of trouble in the fifth with a strikeout and ground out. He got out of the sixth inning unscathed despite surrendering a leadoff triple to Clayton Brandt. McCue planned on going to his bullpen in the seventh, but Richert asked for another inning. His seventh inning lasted all of one hitter - a triple to Shawn Williams. "I got a little tired and I just served it up," Richert said. On came the bullpen. Pat Conlin nearly got out of the seventh with Williams still on third, but a two-out wild pitch chased Williams home. Junior Mustain, still working off the rust from a summer of inactivity, was tagged for two runs in the eighth, but Michael Schoolcraft came in for a four-out save - his ninth of the season, which tied Mustain's team record. Schoolcraft was helped greatly by a base-running blunder in the eighth by Wichita. Tanner Johnson's grounder to the left side ticked off Luke Acosta's glove and got past shortstop Jared Flax, rolling into shallow left field. However, Wichita base runner Zach Ashford, representing the tying run, got to third base and stayed there. Schoolcraft struck out Brandon Weber to end the threat. blog comments powered by Disqus Inappropriate comments include those which: are libelous or defamatory are obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit; substituting characters for letters is not acceptable degrade others on basis of race, gender, class, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability or other classification are predatory, hateful or intended to attack, intimidate or harass writers or other commenters. contain advertising or solicitation misrepresent your identity or affiliation Also: Please don't hijack comment threads to controversial topics; keep comments relevant to the topic.

3 Things You Can Do To Get Off Prozac
Thursday, July 09, 2009
If you are taking Prozac or another antidepressant and want to find a natural alternative that is non-addictive and does not have side effects, here are a few tips from an expert in natural medicine for mood disorders.
1. Feed your brain with healthy nutrients.
Your brain needs specific vitamins, minerals, and healthy oils in order to function properly. Nutrients such as vitamin B12, vitamin B5, and other B vitamins are essential for proper cognitive and emotional health. Omega-3 oils are very important when treating depression, and are also helpful for improving memory, heart health, and a wide variety of other concerns.
If you are interested in reducing or eliminating Prozac, or other antidepressants, the first important thing to do is to make sure that you are supplying your body and mind with the key ingredients it needs for healthy functioning. Each person needs a slightly different nutritional regimen, based on your body weight, age, and any other health concerns or risk factors you may have. If you are interested in losing weight as well, or treating other health problems while you get off your psychiatric medications, a naturopathic physician is the perfect resource to help you reach your goals.
2. Address the underlying causes of stress in your life.
We can experience depression or anxiety because of stressors in our lives. Transient feelings of sadness or frustration are normal as we go through a stressful event, however, if the sadness or anxiety persists, something needs to be addressed. Sometimes we need to make a change in our career, relationships, or personal life, in order to reduce stress and truly address the underlying problem. Certain external factors cannot be changed, but we can change the way we respond to these stressors.
Often we can resolve these problems on our own, or with the sound advice of a close friend who is a good listener. However, a psychologist or counselor can be an excellent resource when addressing these issues. Many people will find themselves in similar stressful situations repeatedly, whether that is in relationships or in other aspects of their lives. The reason for this is that we often get stuck in the same patterns of thinking, which leads us down the same paths into the same problems. With professional counseling, these psychological patterns can be transformed, which can allow for improved emotional health and a lower level of stress overall.
3. Rebalance your neurotransmitters and restore your health with homeopathic medicine.
Homeopathic medicine is a natural method of treating a wide variety of health concerns, from depression to a common cold to autoimmune disease. Homeopathy works with your body to stimulate an innate healing response, rather than suppressing your symptoms as other medications often do. For people with depression, homeopathic medicine has the ability to rebalance your brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) such as serotonin and dopamine, which may be out of balance. Prozac does not actually restore balance to your brain chemistry; it basically tricks your brain into thinking that there is enough serotonin, when in fact your levels may be low. Homeopathy can bring your levels up by stimulating your body to make more, naturally.
Homeopathic medicine is made from naturally occurring substances such as plants or minerals, and these natural products are made into small sublingual pills. There are hundreds of homeopathic remedies that can be used to treat depression, and each remedy can be used to treat a specific set of symptoms. Because every person is a little different in terms of what their depression symptoms are, a different homeopathic remedy may be used for each patient when treating depression. When treating long-term conditions such as depression, it is essential to work with a practitioner of homeopathic medicine who has been trained in classical homeopathy and is licensed and educated to understand your full health history. A naturopathic doctor can listen to your case and determine the precise homeopathic medicine that you need for your depression or anxiety, in addition to any other health concerns you may have.
A nice benefit of homeopathic medicine is that it does not interact with medications or cause any side effects. It is also safe for use in children, and safe during pregnancy and lactation. Thus, it is an excellent alternative to antidepressants in pediatric cases, especially with the increased risk for suicide in this population with conventional antidepressant use. Homeopathic medicine can safely be used for women with post-partum depression. It is also a perfect way to ease the gradual transition off of Prozac or other antidepressants, because it can provide symptom relief while reducing withdrawal symptoms. Homeopathy can provide a natural and lasting solution for people with depression, and is a safe and affordable alternative to prescription drugs.

What are everyone's thoughts on the name Canaan. It's pronounced like kay-nahn (I'm really bad at writing out pronunciations, so I hope that makes sense!!) I use to really like this name then I kind of forgot about it, but it recently popped up on my radar again. I'm just kind of unsure as to what others think about. Opinions? Thanks!

Coach Mike MacIntyre says this Colorado team is better than last year
BOULDER — Is Colorado better this year? First-year coach Mike MacIntyre believes it. His Buffaloes are 3-6, 0-6 in Pac-12 play and have lost their six league games by an average score of 51-16.
"We've won three games," MacIntyre said at his Tuesday media luncheon. "I think they won one last year. We beat CSU who they didn't beat last year. We beat a team that's in the playoffs. We beat a team that was fifth in the nation in I-AA. So I think we've shown some stuff there.
"We've got to get better in the Pac-12. I'd say if we played in the Pac-12 three years ago it'd be a whole different story. There are some really good football teams."

Debashish Bhattacharya is routinely referred to as one of the world's greatest guitarists. The BBC Award for World Music winner and Grammy nominated artist is presenting a new project, also the title of his new album on World Music Network, O Shakuntala. A dazzling combination of southern Karnatic and Northern Hindustani music, O Shakuntala features Debashish's brother and ever popular wizard on the tabla drums Subhasis, plus India's only female pakhawaj (wooden barrel drum) and mridangam (Karnatic music small drum) players. The quartet played a couple of one off shows in 2009 and now are preparing to take the special O Shakuntala show on the road in 2010.
Pandit (master) Debashish Bhattacharya is one of the world's most remarkable slide guitarists. He has spent a lifetime in intensive study, performance and innovation of the guitars that he plays. All the guitars are unique instruments designed by Debashish himself, a Trinity of Guitars- Chaturangui, Gandharvi and Anandi - representing three generations of instruments, while also continuing a thousand-year tradition of music. A performance of Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya dazzles the listener with hypnotic patterns and stunning music shaped from Debashish's original three-finger picking technique.
Born into a musical family on 12 January 1963, in Kolkata (Calcutta), India, Debashish Bhattacharya learnt to sing before he could talk. At the age of 3, he started playing the Hawaiian lap steel guitar, giving his first major concert on All India Radio at 4. The first slide guitarist to receive the President of India Award in 1984 he was made a Pandit (master) at 40. Since then he has been established as one of the world's most outstanding slide guitarists through tours of inspirational live concerts and best selling albums, including collaborations with other world famous guitarists such as John McLaughlin and Shakti, Bob Brozman and Martin Simpson.
First of his invention is the Chaturangui - a 24 string hollow neck guitar, followed by the 14 string Ghandharvi, which holds the longest glissando and the Anandi, s 4-string slideukulele, played at the end of a performance. All three combine aspects of the western guitar with elements of traditional Indian instruments.
This extremely personable and gifted artist takes the audience on a timeless journey through the history of Indian classical music, bringing it into the 21st century, with detours into the blues and Hawaiian music.

Indian Education: What Are the Options?
Indian communities are searching for education that suits the needs of their children and futures. They may not know precisely what they require. But they know what they don't want: a strong assimilation program that emphasizes U.S. history and culture.
The seeds of the present situation were sown during the 1960s and 1970s. Back then, many tribal communities took advantage of the emerging self-determination policy and subcontracted schools. It was during this period that most of the remaining old boarding schools began to disappear. Those schools that survived were transitioned into community colleges or reorganized their programs to focus on high school graduation. More recently, old boarding schools like the Sherman Indian High School in California have been preparing more students to attend college.
But this hasn't always worked. Schools that have been subcontracted by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) have not produced many college-bound students. During the 1960s and 1970s, many tribal communities in California lobbied for their children to get into public schools, hoping they would provide an education on par with that of non-Indian students.
Nationally, however, the education of Indian students both in BIA and public schools has produced dismal results. In the last two decades, only about 13 percent of Indian high school graduates have been prepared for college.
Most Indian communities and parents don't want their children in American schools to become socially and culturally American. They prefer that their children be grounded in their own background. But most schools that Indian students attend don't provide strong cultural and historical information. So they don't develop strong tribal citizens. Not surprisingly, many students and parents are reluctant to support their children in schools that don't acknowledge or strengthen their tribal self-understanding and identity.
Obviously, that's a problem. Most school systems focus on assimilating students into mainstream society and preparing them to assume their share of "the American Dream." American Indian nations and individuals favor education, but not at the price of giving up their tribal identities and communities.
As a result, tribal leaders fret about providing an education that strengthens and reaffirms tribal culture and community, while preparing students with useful economic and professional skills. Contemporary BIA and public schools, however, have accomplished neither of these tasks. So what is to be done?
In the past, various tribal and urban communities were creating independent "red school houses." These constructs were successful as long as they were well funded. But funds often weren't at hand.
Some Indian communities moved with more success toward tribally controlled community colleges and Indian magnet schools. Some have created their own tribally controlled K-12 schools. These schools allow the community considerable leadership and responsibility. In many ways, tribally controlled schools are like private schools, where well-off parents pay for better care and attention to their children. In tribally controlled schools, students get not only that attention, but a culturally agreeable environment and a place to learn about their own history and culture, while developing the skills needed to engage in an increasingly competitive market.
Whatever the precise form this education takes, the goal should always be the same: a nurturing, culturally supportive environment that affords greater scholastic achievement for Indian students. Strong tribal and educational leadership and guidance, combined with supportive cultural foundations and student identities, can't help but produce literate, scholarly, culturally well-grounded students who are able to attend college and develop professional careers. In turn, these students are more likely to give back to their communities and support tribal government and cultural continuity.
Every Indian student deserves and needs a culturally nurturing educational experience. For these present students are, after all, our future leaders.
The way Non-Indian Schools
The way Non-Indian Schools apply a Curriculum, is by Superintendence of Schools and a Board of Education. That "model" may be of use to the NAI Communities. The other method might be to have Local Community Colleges have "Elective Courses" included in The Curriculum and Degree Course in Core Requirements. (i.e. Language, History, Native Economics, etc.) The other avenue may include "Certified Distance Learning" where the Student submits to an Education Catalog of Degree and/or Certificate Programs Paced Studies - that can be accelerated or monitored performance in Quarters or Semester blocks of instruction in Unit increments for Education Courses of varied levels of difficulty - challenging the Student to Learn. The BEST INSTRUCTOR a Student will meet in their lives, are themselves.
The other aspect is "Technology Education" compared to historically "Formal
Education" - where the core curriculum addresses the "Technology" its self; compared to general education courses. Self Discipline of The Student in "Distance Learning" is the difficulty, compared to "Spoon Fed" Students in the Traditional Classroom.

In nuclear engineering, a fissile material is one that is capable of sustaining a chain reaction of nuclear fission. By definition, fissile materials can sustain a chain reaction with neutrons of any energy. The predominant neutron energy may be typified by either slow neutrons (i.e., a thermal system) or fast neutrons. Fissile materials can be used to fuel thermal-neutron reactors, with a neutron moderator; fast-neutron reactors, with no moderators; and nuclear explosives.
Fissile vs fissionable[edit]
According to the fissile rule, for a heavy element with 90 ≤ Z ≤ 100, its isotopes with 2 × Z − N = 43 ± 2, with few exceptions, are fissile (where N = number of neutrons and Z = number of protons).[1][2][note 1]
"Fissile" is distinct from "fissionable." A nuclide capable of undergoing fission (even with a low probability) after capturing a high energy neutron is referred to as "fissionable." A fissionable nuclide that can be induced to fission with low-energy thermal neutrons with a high probability is referred to as "fissile."[3] Although the terms were formerly synonymous, fissionable materials include also those (such as uranium-238) that can be fissioned only with high-energy neutrons. As a result, fissile materials (such as uranium-235) are a subset of fissionable materials.
Uranium-235 fissions with low-energy thermal neutrons because the binding energy resulting from the absorption of a neutron is greater than the critical energy required for fission; therefore uranium-235 is a fissile material. By contrast, the binding energy released by uranium-238 absorbing a thermal neutron is less than the critical energy, so the neutron must possess additional energy for fission to be possible. Consequently, uranium-238 is a fissionable material but not a fissile material.[4]
An alternative definition defines fissile nuclides as those nuclides that can be made to undergo nuclear fission (i.e., are fissionable) and also produce neutrons from such fission that can sustain a nuclear chain reaction in the correct setting. Under this definition, the only nuclides that are fissionable are those nuclides that can be made to undergo nuclear fission but produce insufficient neutrons, in either energy or number, to sustain a nuclear chain reaction.[5] As such, while all fissile isotopes are fissionable, not all fissionable isotopes are fissile. In the arms control context, particularly in proposals for a Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty, the term "fissile" is often used to describe materials that can be used in the fission primary of a nuclear weapon.[6] These are materials that sustain an explosive fast fission chain reaction.
Under all definitions above, uranium-238 (238U) is fissionable, but because it cannot sustain a neutron chain reaction, it is not fissile. Neutrons produced by fission of 238U have lower energies than the original neutron (they behave as in an inelastic scattering), usually below 1 MeV (i.e., a speed of about 14,000 km/s), the fission threshold to cause subsequent fission of 238U, so fission of 238U does not sustain a nuclear chain reaction.
Fast fission of 238U in the secondary stage of a nuclear weapon contributes greatly to yield and to fallout. The fast fission of 238U also makes a significant contribution to the power output of some fast-neutron reactors.

In general, most actinide isotopes with an odd neutron number are fissile. Most nuclear fuels have an odd atomic mass number (A = Z + N = the total number of nucleons), and an even atomic number Z. This implies an odd number of neutrons. Isotopes with an odd number of neutrons gain an extra 1 to 2 MeV of energy from absorbing an extra neutron, from the pairing effect which favors even numbers of both neutrons and protons. This energy is enough to supply the needed extra energy for fission by slower neutrons, which is important for making fissionable isotopes also fissile.
More generally, nuclides with an even number of protons and an even number of neutrons, and located near a well-known curve in nuclear physics of atomic number vs. atomic mass number are more stable than others; hence, they are less likely to undergo fission. They are more likely to "ignore" the neutron and let it go on its way, or else to absorb the neutron but without gaining enough energy from the process to deform the nucleus enough for it to fission. These "even-even" isotopes are also less likely to undergo spontaneous fission, and they also have relatively much longer partial half-lives for alpha or beta decay. Examples of these isotopes are uranium-238 and thorium-232. On the other hand, nuclei with an odd number of protons and an odd number of neutrons (odd Z, odd N) are short-lived because they readily decay by beta-particle emission to their isobars with an even number of protons and an even number of neutrons (even Z, even N) becoming much more stable. The physical basis for this phenomenon also comes from the pairing effect in nuclear binding energy, but this time from both proton–proton and neutron–neutron pairing. The short half-life of such odd-odd heavy isotopes means that they are not available in quantity and are highly radioactive.
Nuclear fuel[edit]
To be a useful fuel for nuclear fission chain reactions, the material must:
- Be in the region of the binding energy curve where a fission chain reaction is possible (i.e., above radium)
- Have a high probability of fission on neutron capture
- Release two or more neutrons on average per neutron capture (which means a higher average number of them on each fission, to compensate for nonfissions, and absorptions in the moderator)
- Have a reasonably long half-life
- Be available in suitable quantities
Thermal neutrons | Epithermal neutrons | |||||
σF | σγ | % | σF | σγ | % | |
750 | 271 | 26.5% | 239Pu | 300 | 200 | 40% |
1010 | 361 | 26.3% | 241Pu | 570 | 160 | 22% |
Fissile nuclides in nuclear fuels include:
- Uranium-235 which occurs in natural uranium and enriched uranium
- Plutonium-239 bred from uranium-238 by neutron capture
- Plutonium-241 bred from plutonium-240 by neutron capture. The 240Pu comes from 239Pu by the same process.
- Uranium-233 bred from thorium-232 by neutron capture
Fissile nuclides do not have a 100% chance of undergoing fission on absorption of a neutron. The chance is dependent on the nuclide as well as neutron energy. For low and medium-energy neutrons, the neutron capture cross sections for fission (σF), the cross section for neutron capture with emission of a gamma ray (σγ), and the percentage of non-fissions are in the table at right.

Empowering Your Purpose of Care
Quite simply, CareAnyware's difference starts with our commitment – helping home health agencies and hospices get back to your purpose of care. Our technology and solutions exist to support you and the vital role you play in your community.
We do that by putting powerful tools and serious technology to work – including CareTouch Logic™ which powers our fully-mobile clinical software and integrates seamlessly through your billing and front office administration. In addition, CareTouch Logic intuitively guides caregivers through their assessments, improving patient care, reducing your stress, and making growth a real opportunity.
Web-based, Software as a Service (SaaS)
We firmly believe web-based, SaaS models are the present, the future and the only technology platform that can address the complex challenges and opportunities of the healthcare system.
With CareAnyware, regulatory updates and requirements are made automatically and are included in your monthly subscription. No more CD's, constant software updates or new servers to install. Ever.
And you're able to drive growth with powerful analytics and benchmarking tools that give you insight into your agency's performance. Only a web-based solution can provide these types of tools that you need to survive in today's healthcare environment.
CareTouch Logic: Thinks Like a Clinician
CareTouch Logic is the engine that makes CareAnyware's point-of-care system unique. Some software systems create "electronic paper" — just putting documents on a screen. Other systems have check boxes but no safeguards to ensure compliance and the delivery of quality care.
CareTouch Logic makes our point-of-care system the only system that "thinks like a clinician" — guiding nurses, therapists and other caregivers through their assessments. That means you can be confident in the quality of care your team delivers to your patients, families and communities, while meeting regulatory demands along the way.
Training and Implementation
Your days are always changing, your staff is always evolving and the industry never stands still. It can be overwhelming. We understand.
CareAnyware truly approaches implementation and training as a partnership process. We don't disappear after two days leaving you to sink or swim. Our training and implementation staff has more years of clinical, billing and administrative experience than they want you to know…but in the end it pays off for you. Partnering with us also gives you access to CareAnyware University, a free resource that furthers your knowledge with our product and the industry.
Customer Support
Count on us to resolve any issues you have, even if it doesn't involve our product or service. Again, our purpose is to care for our customers so you may serve yours.

On a narrow two lane street, called Abbot Kinney Boulevard, you find an array of shopping and restaurants. There are also a host of several coffee shops. The one that sticks out the most, or at least, has the longest line is Intelligentsia Coffee of Venice Beach. If Jones Coffee is the place where coffee connoisseurs go when they die, Intelligentsia is where coffee geeks go. On top of Intelligentsia's standard bucket-ccino, you can also do chemex brew, if you'd prefer. And the spacious interior allows for enough room to walk around and stare at all the gadgetry and wonder WTH it all does.
