2.0m², 3.0m², 4.0m², 5.0m²
High tenacity Ozone 40D rip-stop nylon and Eurocord SK75 Dyneema stitched bridle and flying lines.
The Flow can be purchased as kite only or complete ready to fly – "RTF". The package always includes:
Ozone's performance driven FLOW is designed to keep the flier free of life's distractions with a constant smile at the challenges and opportunities of kiting.
Be assured this kite will keep the adrenalin pumping long after others have given up and called time: Super smooth power delivery, speedy, agile, precise and always predictable the FLOW sets a new bench mark in the satisfaction of "wind addiction". Wherever you travel with kite sports let the FLOW take you on the journey and join the Ozone family in refusal to compromise. Available in 4 sizes from 2.0 meters to 5.0 meters squared the FLOW covers a massive range enabling action in almost all conditions.
Although accessible to novices, particularly in the smaller 2 and 3m sizes, the Flow is a unique kite that is more than capable of meeting the demands and capturing the imagination of any seasoned kiter.
2m2 The 2 is about as much fun as you can hope to have with a small kite. Massive top end wind range for high-speed balls out buggy runs and just the right amount of challenge for anyone with ambition. Try flying on a bar as the kite boarding trainer of choice.
3m2 The 3 is the ideal entry point in the range for the land locked kiter generating power early on in the wind range while always being easy to control. Quite possibly the perfect introduction to land boarding.
4m2 The 4 has the bottom end power needed in the lighter winds likely to be encountered by novice snow kiters and is a great mid-range buggy engine or land board motor.
5m2 The 5 is the one to beat in is this category, with light wind performance for effortless traction and an upper limit the pros will just keep pushing.

Some Curves/Tall
Just purchased this cover up in the black and white and cannot wait to wear them to the beach! Also I think I could probably get away with a bandeau top underneath for non beach outings and it will also look great too. The material is soft, thick cotton. Probably great for a lot of body types. Definitely recommend!

Stop the UK Badger Cull
STOP the UK BADGER CULL
Responsible department:
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
We, the undersigned, call on the UK government to stop the planned cull of badgers on the following grounds: · Over 70% of the badger population in large areas of theUnited Kingdomwill be killed, many of them healthy. · The method of free-shooting badgers could cause severe injury to many thousands of badgers. · Independent scientific studies have shown that culling would be of little help in reducing bovine TB, and even suggest that it could make things worse in some areas. We urge the UK government to stop the cull and implement the more sustainable and humane solution of both a vaccination programme for badgers and cattle, along with improved testing and biosecurity.
B-R-A-V-E Badger Rescue and Vaccination Everywhere
Peter Berry
The lack of evidence that slaughtering badgers would eradicate bovine tb has to mean that the cull is wanton slaughter to meet the whims of the NFU
Les Hardy
The present coalition's slaughter (not CULL) of badgers will never eradicate TB in cattle even if they kill every badger in the UK. Bovine TB will only be reduced/eliminated once farmers take biosecurity seriously. The present killing is a political exercise promoted by the Conservative Party in the hope of of being seen to be doing something and so retain rural seats in the next general election. It's a great pity that badgers have been chosen as the scapegoats.i
Anna Wolff
Public would be happy to fund vacs of all cattle. It's not even a debate about the cost because farmers and hunters alike enjoy shooting to kill : whether for fun or in the name of science-doesn't matter. These people have the strongest lobby hence such support from DEFRA and Nat Eng as well as the high courts.
Eradicating wildlife is not a scientific or humane solution.
We live in an un democratic society where those with the most money are heard and our Legal
System is not easily accountable for its behaviour to anyone.
The cull is senseless and mindless : it is not approved of by majority of the public and the public should have the last word.
We have no faith or confidence in the Government to make the right choice and no confidence in DEFRA who modify their advice in contrary to scientific data to please farmers/Nat Eng
With such loss of confidence in public offices we need to appeal to the international community to talk sense to the current govern

The upcoming ninth season of hit U.S. comedy THE OFFICE will be its last.
The Emmy Award-winning series, based on comedian Ricky Gervais' hit British show of the same name, premiered in 2005, essentially launching the careers of several little-known actors, including Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Mindy Kaling, and Jenna Fischer.
The program has gained a large following ever since, thanks to lead characters Ed Helms and Steve Carrell, who quit the series last year (11), but on Tuesday (21Aug12), executive producer Greg Daniels shocked fans by announcing they are calling it quits.
He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "At some point you have a choice: to always tell the beginnings of stories and the middles or to allow a story to end, and I think endings can be very powerful and meaningful pieces of the story...
"As we head into the home stretch, we have a lot of exciting things I've been wanting to do since season two. The end should be pretty cool."
The final season of The Office will kick off on 20 September (12).

Alsodes Bell, 1843, Zool. Voyage Beagle, Part 5: 41. Type species: Alsodes monticola Bell, 1843, by monotypy.
Hammatodactylus Fitzinger, 1843, Syst. Rept.: 32. Type species: Cystignathus nodosus Duméril and Bibron, 1841, by original designation. Lynch, 1971, Misc. Publ. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 53: 124-125, suggested that this name antedates Alsodes Bell, 1843, although Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 128, noted that he knew of no evidence to support this contention. Lavilla and Cei, 2001, Monogr. Mus. Reg. Sci. Nat. Torino, 28: 98, considered Alsodes to have priority over Hammatodactylus based on the first revisor principle ( Cope, 1865, Nat. Hist. Rev., N.S., 5: 113). Hammatodactylus was a nomen oblitum up to Lynch, 1971, Misc. Publ. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 53: 124, when he placed it in the synonymy of Eupsophus (sensu lato). See also Lavilla and Cei, 2001, Monogr. Mus. Reg. Sci. Nat. Torino, 28: 98-99, regarding inferences on publication dates for both, Bell's and Fitzinger's papers.
Eusophus Cope, 1865, Nat. Hist. Rev., N.S., 5: 113. Type species: Cystignathus nodosus Duméril and Bibron, 1841. Not Eupsophus Fitzinger, 1843.
Cacotus Günther, 1869 "1868", Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1868: 482. Type species: Cacotus Günther, 1869 "1868", by monotypy. Cacotus Günther was included in the synonymy of Borborocoetes Bell by Boulenger, 1882, Cat. Batr. Sal. Coll. Brit. Mus., Ed. 2: 252. Borborocoetes in the sense of Boulenger was a complex that included species today placed in Alsodes, Eupsophus, Ischnocnema, Phrynopus and Batrachyla.
Telmalsodes Diaz, 1989, Stud. Neotrop. Fauna Environ., 24: 32. Type species: Telmatobius montanus Lataste, 1902, by original designation. Synonymy by Wiens, 1993, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 162: 41-42.
Spiny-chest Frogs (Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 70).
Chile and Argentina.
See comment under Alsodes laevis. Argentinian species reviewed by Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 286-299. Karyological relationships discussed and species groups defined by Formas and Vera, 1983, Copeia, 1983: 1104-1107. Diaz, 1989, Stud. Neotrop. Fauna Environ., 24: 25-33, partitioned the genus into Telmalsodes and Alsodes, but this was rejected by Wiens, 1993, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 162: 41-42. Cuevas and Formas, 2003, Hereditas, Lund, 138: 138-147, reported on karyotypic variaiton among Alsodes pehuenche, Alsodes vanzolinii, Alsodes verrucosus and Alsodes vittatus. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of genbank sequences, confirmed the monophyly of this taxon and provided a tree of their molecular exemplar species although these conclusions require confirmation given that a number of the Genbank sequences on which these conclusions were based were subsequently reidentified by Blotto, Nuñez, Basso, Úbeda, Wheeler, and Faivovich, 2013, Cladistics, 29: XXX.

Stuck living in a hotel for the last 2 weeks, I've dined here 4 times. Wonderful service, fresh and delicious food, I love this place.
We had a great evening in this restaurant dining with friends, the young staff was very friendly though not super knowledgeable nor very professional, but adequate. The wine was fine, the food was certainly acceptable.
I visited here with colleagues of all nationalities. The food is excellent, the service is friendly and you leave smiling. My Italian colleagues are even prepared to eat here, which cannot be said of other Italian restaurants in Haarlem! Food is freshly cooked, so do not expect a fast meal. Just expect food of the highest quality, well presented and... More
We chose this restaurant based on the tripadviser reviews and were not disappointed. The service was excellent, the waiter was putting a lot of energy in having good conversations and explaining very lively the suggestions of the day. Food was nice and according to the standards you can expect in Italy, wines were nice as well.
Food, service, atmosphere all make this one of the best dining experiences in Haarlem. The standard menu is chock full of great Italian fare but the real excitement comes with the special menu (blackboard menu) that changes daily or weekly. From the freshest burrata to special pastas to truffle coated bisecta, each dish true to its special flavor and made... More
We ate at La Forca for 'Vegetarian Restaurant Week' last night for the first time so we had a set menu. The place is very cozy and intimate, and the food was really delicious. Lots of attention to details from the chef by using different veggies and knowing how to present them. I was pleased to see that it was... More
A boutique restaurant than specialises in custom menu choices. The blackboard menu is a delight, if not just to hear the delicious waitress pronouncing Italian dishes with her Dutch accent. I would eat here just to hear her... The ala carte menu was also good with some standard choices if the blackboard was a little too adventurous. It is a... More
This place is seen as one of the better restaurants in Haarlem. And I love traditional Italian food. We came in a little late, around 9 pm and we had the feeling that the waitress could not get over that. Ok, let's try the carpaccio and the bruschette! What can go wrong? Well the oil used on the bruschette was... More
The ambience of this place is cozy. It is centrally located near the main shopping district. I had the risotto whic was gluey. My colleagues had the steak and were pleased with it. The service was good. The food was just ok for the value. No menu in English is available but the server graciously explained the me u for... More
While staying in Haarlem, we were out walking in the wind and cold when we discovered the Restaurant La Forca. We had not done any advance planning on restaurants, and we felt very lucky to have stumbled across this small, cozy restaurant on a narrow street. We only speak English, and they did a good job of translating the menu.... More

Happy Tuesday, Dave's back and we've got tons of music news.For the September 2-4 Labor Day weekend, New York City's Randall's Island plays host to Electric Zoo, a dance music extravaganza that will close out summertime in fine fashion. And whether you're heading to the party or not, Spin is offering a free digital download of top electric zoo performers, including a little smooth house by Beck.
Willamette Week brings us up to date on two of the Northwest's two biggest, city-based music fests happen on back to back weekends and OMN will be heading up to Bumbershoot for the 41st edition of Seattle's longest-running music and arts festival.
Over Labor Day weekend–September 3rd through 5th–more than 120 musical acts will take stages on the Seattle Center's grounds including Key Arena headliners like Ray LaMontagne & the Pariah Dogs, Wiz Khalifa, Broken Social Scene, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and Hall & Oates. Plus twelve Portland acts will be making the drive up north including several playing the Decibel-curated electronic showcase.
And that's just the music; there's comedy, theater, film, dance, spoken word, visual arts, kids activities, and more (like skeeball). There's some decent overlap between the Bumbershoot bill and MFNW, so here's a quick rundown of who you can catch two weekends in a row if you've also got your MFNW wristband:
Little Dragon, The Kills, Butthole Surfers, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, YACHT, Charles Bradley, Sharon Van Etten, Thee Oh Sees, Phantogram, You Am I, DåM-FunK + Master Blazter, Emancipator, Shabazz Palaces, Tennis, Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside, PS I Love You, Joe Pug, AgesandAges, Caleb Klauder Country Band, Kasey Anderson and The Honkies, Mad Rad, Natasha Kmeto, Pickwick
Sebastian Bach's Home Destroyed
Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach lost his home in New Jersey as a result of flooding from Hurricane Irene this weekend. The rocker's Lincroft, NJ house was knocked off its foundation after surging waters from Irene snapped a nearby bridge, which tumbled into the singer's garage.
The singer's basement was completely flooded, resulting in the destruction of irreplaceable Skid Row master tapes and live recordings, as well as his extensive collection of Kiss and Skid Row memorabilia. Luckily for Bach, his comic book collection and his father's artwork were safe on a higher level of his house. Bach plans to salvage what he can from the house before having it destroyed.
Michael Jackson Tribute Concert
Janet Jackson has announced that she will not attend a tribute concert for her brother Michael Jackson because it will coincide with the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray , the physician charged with involuntary manslaughter in the pop icon's death.
"Because of the trial, the timing of this tribute to our brother would be too difficult for me," Janet Jackson said in a statement yesterday. This echoes the sentiment of her brothers Randy and Jermaine, who announced earlier this summer that they would not be involved with the show, which is set to take place on October 8th in Wales.
Though Janet, Randy and Jermaine have distanced themselves from Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert, their mother Katherine and sister LaToya have backed the show, which will feature performances by Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Smokey Robinson.
Oldest of Delta Blues Singers Dies
David Honeyboy Edwards, believed to have been the oldest surviving member of the first generation of Delta blues singers, died on Monday at his home in Chicago. He was 96. His death was announced by his manager, Michael Frank.
Mr. Edwards's career spanned nearly the entire recorded history of the blues, from its early years in the Mississippi Delta to its migration to the nightclubs of Chicago and its emergence as an international phenomenon.
Over eight decades Mr. Edwards knew or played with virtually every major figure who worked in the idiom, including Charley Patton, Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.
Gibson Guitar Offices Raided by Feds
Gibson—the legendary instrument makers behind the Les Paul, SG and 335 guitar models—had its Memphis and Nashville factories and offices raided by federal agents last Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The article said federal officials seized pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. While federal officials have not commented on the investigation, Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz led reporters to believe the issue was an environmental one, stating "The wood the government seized Wednesday is from a Forest Stewardship Council certified supplier."
The article explains that the investigation's pressing issue was probably the origin of the guitars' wood:
The question in the first raid seemed to be whether Gibson had been buying illegally harvested hardwoods from protected forests, such as the Madagascar ebony that makes for such lovely fretboards. And if Gibson did knowingly import illegally harvested ebony from Madagascar, that wouldn't be a negligible offense. Peter Lowry, ebony and rosewood expert at the Missouri Botanical Garden, calls the Madagascar wood trade the "equivalent of Africa's blood diamonds." But with the new raid, the government seems to be questioning whether some wood sourced from India met every regulatory jot and tittle

Open MPI seems to be the new de facto standard MPI library, and you can compile it to be fully integrated with both SGE and Torque. I just set up a cluster using SGE and Open MPI (built with the --with-sge option), and I there's no need to tinker with the SGE's MPI startup wrapper scripts like in the past. Everything just works: SGE and OpenMPI communicate directly with each other, and SGE has complete control over ALL the MPI processes. A couple of years ago I did setup SGE with MPICH, and had to tinker with SGE's startup scripts to get everything to work correctly. Not that difficult. I could be wrong but I think at that time, to use Torque you needed to compile a separate mpiexec program developed by a 3rd party to get "tight integration" between MPI and Torque. -- Prentice

In the wake of the terrorist attacks in London, I can't help but despair at the ever-spiraling violence in our world today. And it pains me even more deeply that a significant portion of that violence occurs at the hands of Muslims in the name of Islam.
Of course, we have all condemned this latest attack in London. We have all stated that Islam is a religion of peace. We have all stated Islamic terror is neither sacred nor Islamic.
Yet, inevitably, I get a question from one -- or more than one -- reader which goes something like this: "Yeah, but what about the suffering of Muslims in Iraq? Isn't that also wrong? Why don't you condemn that?"

Voice Platform and Support Network for Families of Missing and Victims of Crime
Please share this plea from a mother of a case that has now been resolved:
"To all that can help,
I have just been informed by CUE that my son that was missing for 12 years is still on many sites and still listed as missing. If you run across this would you please notify the web sites that he is no longer missing? His name is Jacob Wayne Whitt, DOB- 2-3-1977, missing Jan. 1998...we were informed in June of 2010 that he had been laying in a John Doe grave in Grand Prarie, Texas for most of the 12 years we searched for him....Thank You for anyone that can help with this issue."
Note the Doe Network has Jacob listed on their "Solves and Assisted Solves" page: http://www.doenetwork.org/Solves.html
Another link from a newspaper:http://www.newschief.com/article/20100713/NEWS/7135042
This should never happen to begin with - 12 years of torture - we have the technology and means now to avoid these living hell situations - it's time to get on it and coordinate and use them .... we need a Presidential candidate with a missing loved one - can you imagine what great change that just isn't possible would miraculously occur if we did??
Well, I would not want that to be a prerequisite for being President; I would not wish a missing loved one on anyone, including a politician and even one I don't like! But they DO NEED awareness and, in my humble opinion, it is possible to develop empathy and be sensitive to fam,ilies of the missing. Maybe what is needed is for the Candidates to observe PEACE4 and learn.
THANK YOU MAUREEN!!I SHARED ON FACEBOOK,MY PAGE AND MAIN PAGE.LOVE ALWAYS...johnny
I am so sorry to hear about your missing son. This is not acceptable to keep an entire family and freinds suffering for 12 years.
We need to raise our voice to the authorities at local, state, and federal levels to listen and do something to remedy this epidemic social issue.
May Jacob Wayne Whitt rest in peace!
Kind Regards
Reza Jou (missing Donna Jou's dad)

Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " We choose this hostel because it said it was the ultimate party hostel. But it was absolutely not!! We were very dissapointed with the whole party atmosphere. We came here in november so I guess the party atmosphere is not as strong as it could be in the summer, but still we didn't feel that the staff did anything to help us get to the party. They were very laidback and very welcoming. And you couldn't even bring alcohol up to your rome and that just killed your party mood. But still, ok place. "
- 15 Nov 2013 Adam Sweden
- " In one word: Awsome! I was so sad to leave:( "
- 12 Nov 2013 nancy
- " Best hostel I ever been. Nice location, the dorms are ok, the staff was amazing (except for the security guy, a very rude guy that use to kick out people from the common room even 20' before the closing time). There is a bar downstairs that turns into a night club and is very cool and the drinks are very cheap. "
- 25 Oct 2013 Andres Daniel Argentina
- " The hostel is very close to Termini Station, which its great! They don't provide a pad lock or towel for free. - Some hostels do-. Not complaining. Just a warning for backpackers. The only bad thing for me was that the shower (separated from the toilet) was a bit too small. Impossible for you to properly change clothes inside and for a hostel with strange people in the room, that seems important.. "
- 17 Oct 2013 Anonymous Brazil
- " PROS: social, great location close to termini station, affordable, accommodating staff, bar with cheap drinks CONS: extremely noisy "
- 05 Oct 2013 Anonymous Canada
- " Mediocre hostel. Friendly atmosphere and good location. Pay for breakfast. Dirty, small bathrooms. Dirty, crowded rooms. Good wifi and ok beds. Definitely get some free earplugs at the front desk. All in all, it was just ok. "
- 24 Sep 2013 Anonymous USA
- " Awesome hostel. I can't see anything missing: friendly atmosphere great for meeting other people, perfect for solo travellers (this is the main thing I look for) + all the stuff you need when you're travelling, as in ALL: great location, towels, hairdryers, plenty of showers, lockers, earplugs, lounge, kitchen... and a bar with terrace included in the deal! You guys nailed it! "
- 06 Sep 2013 Anonymous Spain
- " This is a large, institutional, and fairly modern party hostel. Good overall if you are down with the party atmosphere. I am not so much, but was fine. Since they don't allow drinking in the rooms there wasn't a noise problem. The bathrooms are a bit tight but clean, new and there seem to be enough for each floor. The only down side is that since everyone is downstairs drinking at the bar, there is not that much going on socially in the rooms. There is a decent kitchen and common room. "
- 05 Sep 2013 Anonymous USA
- " Ideally located, great atmosphere. It was my first experience in a hostel and i would recommend this place. "
- 02 Sep 2013 Anonymous Canada
- " It is okay generally, clean, nice location, easy-going staff. Can check in at 11am which is pretty early and can get a free drink if you check in online in advance and like their fb page. If you dont like parties, it is still a good choice coz you can enjoy the whole room by yourself as people all go out drinking and will not return early! "

It's very nice. Yes and Windows 98 does have issues with more then 512MB of ram. However, usually it's it telling you you do not have enough memory or your performance dropping sharply.
You can try installing Windows 2000/XP and see if that helps. If you still have crashes, I would guys your RAM is bad, or your motherboard does not like it, or it does not like two DIMMS in at once.
Also your friend is a fucking retard if he doesn't know that Win98SE is not multi-cpu aware. He has one CPU just sitting there doing nothing because Win9x cores WILL NOT SEE BOTH OF THEM! >_<. Also in dual cpu setups ram is shared between the CPUs.
Premiere and other programs aren't designed to work better with XP/2k. It's just the fact that XP/2k are better designed and more stable then the Win9x OSes.

Top Tip: Is there a RAM limit in Windows 98?
Tips used for Top Tips come from the ExtremeTech forum and are written by our community.
Question from tessiemoe :
"I have a K7vAt3 ECS motherboard and Windows 98 SE. It works fine with 512 M of DDR ram but when I put in another 256 (of the exact same brand, Samsung) Windows wouldn't work. Is there a limit on Ram in Windows 98?"
Answer from kgwagner14 :
"Actually, 512 meg is too much, unless you're running an application like Photoshop that has it's own memory manager. Generally speaking, you won't see any improvement in performance once you get over 128 meg. M$ themselves admits to there being a problem in this area, particularly with lockups on machines with 512 meg or more of physical memory, and treats it at http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... S;q253912&
This problem exists with all their 9x OS's. "
Answer from tcohrt :
"I'm not going to go look it up because the last time I did it took me a half an hour to find it, but you can over RAM a 9x system real fast. This issue is addressed on MS Technet.
Physical RAM vs. What the system can address & actually use.
9X can only efficiently use about 160 Mb. Anything over 256 will actually slow the system down in most cases. [ depending on the motherboard & BIOS ] When 98 first came out, most systems were running 32 to 64 Mb of memory & 128 to 256 sticks were in servers. It wasn't built to run large amounts of RAM like NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP was.
We've benchmarked 98 & 98SE with from 32 to 512 of memory & see a definate increase in performance up to the 160 mark. It drops off up to 192 & is about totally flat above 192. Anything that will grab & use anything from 192 & above will usually crash most 98 systems."

Dr. Simon practices at the Massachusetts General Hospital; he received the London Prize for Excellence in Teaching from Harvard and MIT.
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a big operation. Any major surgery might contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED). But there are other reasons you should consider.
CABG patients typically need many medicines. And some common heart drugs can cause ED. But don't stop these meds on your own. Instead, ask your doctor if a careful drug change is worth a try.
There is also a more basic reason that CABG patients may have ED. The operation is performed to bypass arteries that are damaged by atherosclerosis (commonly called "hardening of the arteries"). This same process is also the leading cause of ED.
ED and heart disease are as different as night and day. So why do they strike together so often?
The two conditions share common risk factors. For years, doctors have known the major heart risk factors: advanced age, smoking, abnormal cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, diabetes, physical inactivity and obesity. More recently, it's become clear that those exact traits also contribute to ED.
All arteries in the heart, the penis, and the rest of the body have a thin inner lining of cells. These cells make nitric oxide, a tiny chemical that helps keep the artery's lining smooth and healthy. Atherosclerosis damages the lining, lowering the supply of nitric oxide.
Nitric oxide relaxes artery walls. It helps the heart by making it easier for letting the heart muscle get more oxygen-rich blood when it's working hard. And it helps the penis, since a good erection requires a big increase in the amount of blood in the organ. Nitric oxide has a crucial role, too. It helps nerve cells "talk" with one another, so the impulses of desire can communicate with the arteries of the penis.
If risk factors cause these problems, can correcting them help? In the case of both heart disease and ED, the answer is yes. Men that stop smoking, improve their cholesterol, lower high blood pressure, control diabetes, shed extra pounds, and take up exercise can expect impressive protection against coronary artery disease. New evidence suggests the same changes may also help correct ED.

Navigating the stages of Alzheimer's caregiving
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/stages-of-caregiving/MY01800

Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Navigating the stages of Alzheimer's caregiving
By Angela Lunde
63 comments posted
Last week Terry wrote, "These (caregiver's) comments are all over the place — insightful, heartbreaking and complex." Terry was referring to the wide variety of comments that come across this blog as we share our personal stories and reflect on one another's caregiving experience.
So, I'm pondering that perhaps there are stages or phases of caregiving — in much the same way we describe stages of Alzheimer's. In this regard, each of us reacts differently based on what phase in the caregiving journey we are in.
My thoughts are in no way scientific. I did, however, look to see if anyone else had written on the subject and found some similar themes and supporting ideas by Gail Sheehy in her book, "Passages in Caregiving: Turning Chaos into Confidence."
I doubt that these stages are linear — leaving one and moving on to the next. Instead, I believe caregivers experience some stages and not others, may linger in one stage for a while, can be in more than one stage (or phase) at a time, and may move in and out of the same phase several times.
First, I see a subtle and continuous dance between the phases of acceptance and denial. This makes sense because there's comfort in denial; it provides an escape — a way of coping. I don't think it's shameful to have feelings of denial; it's simply human nature. The thing is, when it comes to a disease such as Alzheimer's, we don't have the luxury to remain in denial for long. Reality slaps us in the face at some point. And eventually you recognize that acceptance doesn't mean liking or approving the situation, only seeing it as it is.
For some, there's an "Am I a caregiver?" phase. Maybe it's at the time of diagnosis, or when you begin to take on certain tasks that were previously the job of the affected one. Perhaps it's when someone else labels you a caregiver.
At some point, many caregivers speak of entering a phase or period referred to as "The new normal." I see this as a time when normal refers to living with uncertainty and unpredictably.
For sure, there's the phase of "Redefining (or reframing) our relationship to the person with Alzheimer's," as we discussed recently. This can be a tumultuous time when you're figuring out how to be in a new relationship with the affected one.
How about the "Where have all our friends gone?" phase. Many caregivers (Floyd from a previous blog) experience the all-too-common separation and sense of isolation from friends.
"I feel trapped, I am losing it, I can't do this anymore" phase. Need I say more?
Fortunately, for some there seems to be a "Smooth sailing" phase. This is essentially a time when new skills and new ways of communicating have been acquired. It can be a period when things seem to be running smoothly ... until "The crisis" phase — a shift from the status quo.
Possibly a bit later in the journey there's the "It's really happening" phase. These are times of extraordinary grief and loss — a time when the consequences of accepting the reality of the situation are felt fully.
For most, there's "The long good-bye" phase. Caregivers understand the ambiguous loss of Alzheimer's. Some wonder how long this will go on, sometimes wishing (often in silence) that it would end.
For each of you, I hope there's an ongoing phase of transformation. My teacher, spiritual mentor and friend, Lyn Prashant, writes, "Grief is the most available untapped, emotional resource for personal transformation. We don't just get over our grief. Instead, we change our relationship to it. When we lose something or someone, and that identification must change, we have the opportunity to rebuild ourselves."
Caregivers, no matter what your stage in this journey, be kind to yourselves and always believe that you're doing the best you can at this moment.

SOURCE Michelle R. Yagoda, M.D., P.C.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In the United States, a woman is beaten every nine seconds by an intimate or former partner, and over 75 percent of women who are in an abusive relationship receive a battering to the face and head area. The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) is the largest international association of facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons and the first surgical group to take a firm stand against domestic abuse. In 1994, the AAFPRS teamed up with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), to develop FACE-TO-FACE: The Domestic Violence Project. The project was created to help repair both physical and psychological scars by providing complimentary consultation and surgery to domestic violence survivors whom have suffered injuries to the face, head or neck. Victims of domestic abuse who are burdened with physical scars of the head and neck are invited to call the 24-hour toll free number - 1-800-842-4546.
Dr. Michelle Yagoda is a volunteer female facial plastic surgeon with FACE-TO-FACE, and has been providing complimentary care to survivors of domestic violence for almost two decades. But, "treating the scars of an abusive relationship is only one part of the equation," according to Dr. Yagoda. "Detecting early signs of unhealthy relationships, and empowering women and men early in life, can help to prevent this trauma from happening in the first place." Dr. Yagoda notes, "High school can be a difficult time for many teens, who may be finding, exploring, and building relationships. They may also be experiencing bullying, stress, physical and emotional changes. During this time of turmoil, the signs of unhealthy and abusive relationships may be especially difficult to identify." Dr. Yagoda has counseled privately and to school groups about the importance of early intervention and helped to educate young adults and their parents about healthy relationships, and warning signs of abuse.
As a woman facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Michelle Yagoda is gentle, caring and understanding, and she understands first hand that her involvement in FACE-TO-FACE often brings a renewed confidence and positive lifestyle to the survivor.

She has been charged with forgery and first-degree murder
The Kansas City lawyer charged with killing her millionaire father by forging documents to deny him medical care no longer has control over his will. A Clay County probate court judge removed Susan Elizabeth Van Note as the personal representative of her father's estate on Thursday. Van Note, free on a one-million-dollar cash bond, attended the hearing but did not testify or comment afterward. The Boone County prosecutor has charged her with forgery and first-degree murder. William Van Note died in a hospital in October 2010 after his daughter showed doctors a document giving her permission to remove him from life support. William and his girlfriend, Sharon Dickson, were shot at their Lake of the Ozarks vacation home. No one has been charged in Dickson's death.

Hola! Rena and I were thinking about doing a RP based on the popular new video game "The Last Of Us." It's basically about a world that is thrown into an apocalypse when a pandemic spreads throughout the world, infecting 60% of the population. The disease alters your brain, and eventually you become something like a zombie. In the RP, our characters would be college students put together to work on a group project. It would start pre-apocalypse, the outbreak would occur, then there would be a time skip to a few months or years later.
Anyone in? :3

Tigers Lead Early in Loss at Piedmont
March 23, 2011
March 23, 2011, Demorest, Ga. — DePauw led after each of its first three at bats, but the Tigers were held scoreless over the final six innings as host Piedmont took an 11-6 win. The Tigers dropped to 7-14 with their ninth straight loss, while the Lions improved to 15-9.
DePauw took a 2-0 lead in the first as Jason Cohen drove in Sam Swafford with a double and Alex Wright plated Rob McPike with a single. Piedmont countered in the bottom of the first as Curtis Cornett blasted a three-run homer.
In the second, Ben Gardner and Swafford each reached after being hit by pitches. McPike followed with a double that scored Gardner before Cohen added a grounder that scored Swafford. Wright's single brought home McPike and gave the Tigers a 5-3 lead.
Piedmont's Dave Bartek was hit by a pitch and scored on Kyle Davis' triple in the second. DePauw extended its lead to 6-3 in the third as Alex Berlyn singled home Pat Lyons.
The Lions knotted the score in the third as Kevin McConnnell drove in one with a single before Dale Bartek knocked in a pair with a base hit.
DePauw was held scoreless the rest of the way, but Piedmont scored one in the fifth as Dale Bartek's groundout drove in McConnell. The Lions added three more in the seventh on a two-run double off the bat of Dale Bartek and a run-scoring single by Davis.
The Tigers totaled 10 hits paced by two each from Gardner, Wright and Lyons. Gardner has now reached base in all 21 games this season. Piedmont finished with 14 hits as John Duke and McConnell each had three. Davis, Cornett and Dale Bartek each had two while Bartek drove in five.
Alex Sroka dropped to 0-1 with the loss, while Dustin Black improved to 3-3.

Throwback Thursday is a weekly update that we do here on Caught on Set. Every Thursday we post pictures from the set of a movie you haven't seen in a while, or possibly ever.
Today we have behind the scenes photos from yet another of Hollywood's greatest films. Taxi Driver, released in 1976, was written by Paul Schrader who also wrote Raging Bull and American Gigolo among many others. Martin Scorsese was put in charge to direct only his 4th feature length film of his legendary career. Robert De Niro, Cybill Sheperd and a 12 year old Jodie Foster. From IMBD.com:
"A mentally unstable Vietnam war veteran works as a nighttime taxi driver in New York City where the perceived decadence and sleaze feeds his urge to violently lash out, attempting to save a teenage prostitute in the process."
PICTURES: Check out more on the Throwback Thursday page
If you haven't seen the film, Jodie Foster plays the teenage prostitute character that De Niro's Character Travis Bickle tries to save. In 1997 the AFI named Taxi Driver as the 47th best film of all time. It truly is a great movie and a classic. If you haven't seen it yet you really should.

Commercial Club of Kansas City Scrapbooks (KC0264)
The Commercial Club of Kansas City was founded in August of 1886 to promote civic projects and the city. The goals of the initial membership of fifty-seven businessmen were to encourage "good will" and the widening of the trade territory of Kansas City. Two years after its founding, the Club adopted the slogan: "Make Kansas City a good place to live."
The Commercial Club was housed (it did not own its office) on the second floor of the Board of Trade Building. Its first president was William B. Grimes. The first active secretary was Ryerson Ritchie. He was succeeded by E.M. Clendening who was active through the Club's lively years, including the rebuilding of the burned Convention Hall, the 1903 flood, and most of what is considered the heyday of the "Kansas City Spirit." One of the highlights of the Commercial Club's functions was an annual trip to trade territory. Many of Kansas City's leading citizens were associated with the Commercial Club, including August R. Meyer, C.J. Schmelzer, Uriah S. Epperson, and many others. Members took an interest in local affairs and political issues, as well as their own business interests.
Scrapbooks were kept from 1886 to 1913, when the Commercial Club reorganized as the Chamber of Commerce. They trace the media coverage of the activities of the Commercial Club, as well as many of Kansas City's civic events. Almost all of the information is from Kansas City area or Missouri newspapers. Some articles about urban growth are from other major cities in the Midwest. The articles chronicle the growth of the parks and boulevards system, floods and flood control in Kansas City, politics, the Priests of Pallas events, the deaths of prominent Kansas City citizens, politics in Kansas City, and the activities of the Commercial Club and its members. 1886-1913.

The Conversation
Beautiful! Loved both the '82 and '83 480s. Left side kick and right side drive was odd but cool, and that big air cooled 2 stroke engine (4 speed on the 82, 5 speed on the 83) was a great motor.
There is one of these on Ebay right now for something like $800. Needs full restoration but the guy said everything is there. Wish i had an extra $800. I really want a vintage open class 2 stroke.
Very nice resto job !
Best motor ever. Period.
Nice job richie! Same richie Sampson from early 80's nesc? I recognize the number . Just telling my boys about borrowing jojo's 480 to get my expert card. Great memories.
Wow! Awesome job!!!
Nice ride restore !
Good job dood , I used to race agaist them in the open class on my YZ were they 465's or what back then? I dont remember? Yes you did a good job!
I dont remember how good it was- but that is a nice looking bike.
a great looking job. an awesome bike. thanks for sharing.
anyone ever notice the evolution of MX and SX? in the 70's and before that, the premier class was the open class and the 250's were second best and 125 didn't matter. Then the 250's being better handling bikes prevailed. Now in the 4 stroke era the big bikes have the power of the old open class and the 250's are going as fast since they handle better. With the technology that has gone into the 4 strokes the displacement rule should be changed so riders could use a 450 2 stroke against a 450 4 stroke and the same in the 250 class, the big bike class should be OPEN..... run what you brung.... see if you can hold on!
I had an 83 and an 84 CR480 and liked the 83 way better. There used to be an unwritten rule back then about Hondas, to get the ones on the odd numbered years. Not sure if that applied to the 82.
Kind of off-topic, but if you like old bikes, check out the video "One Chance To Win". I'm not sure how I had never seen it before, but I watched it this weekend and it was great. Its about the 1975 500cc championship. To say times have changed would be an understatement.
@mrwhirlwind That's kind of what I've been suggesting. Have it be the 250 class and the 450 class, period. Take out the 4-S and 2-S language entirely. How simple can that be?
I had one of these things (an 83 as well). It was fast but not terrifying. It was one of the big air cooled 2 strokes that you could jet to actually run clean through the whole rpm range. Now if you want a more eye opening experience .... jump on a crisp running and fairly peaky liquid cooled 85 or 86 CR 500 ... you could get in trouble very fast on one of those things. And pro's (even national level pro's) spent more time de-tuning them (longer head pipes, reed spacers, thicker base gaskets) than they did looking for more hp. Just too abrupt power and too hard to ride for long moto's.
Nice job Richie..bike looks fantastic. I remember visiting Southwick back then and seeing you turning laps on one just like it in the open expert class.
Well done Sir, gorgeous scoot.
I had an '82. The 4-speed was awesome. On a MX track, you would shift MAYBE 10 times.
Aesthetically speaking, the '83 was by far a prettier scoot.
But the "Holy Grail" of big bore 2-strokes was the fire-breathing dragon '86 CR500.
Nothing gets my heart pumping like a big 480, which is strange since I ride a 500AF now. The 480, for some reason, scares the crap out of me, which is the reason to ride in the first place. I love the restoration, and I would put that beast in my front room as a showbike, just to keep me humble. Beautiful job.
P.S. I would add a link to the chain and run the rear wheel as far back as possible. Loop outs are a real and present danger to us part timers.
Well, the '83 had the 5 speed, weighed something like 10 or 12 lbs less, had the removable subframe, the DLS front brake was re-done to be more progressive.
For it's time, the 82-83 CR480 was probably the best Japanese Open bike ever. The trick setup was to stick an 86 front end (cartridge forks and front disc brake) on an 83 and race it until they built a better one. That didn't happen until 1990 when they tuned-back the motor.... to be like the 82/83. But it weighed 20lbs more with the water-cooling. Didn't need it.
The bike I would love to see built right and tested vs the 450Fs: a CR480AF. Harder because of the right-side drive, but light light light and all the (right kind of) power anyone could use. Short shift it and ride it like a 450F. The 500AF guys used the wrong motor.

Alabama Dept. of Public Health: Be aware of generator and chain saw dangers following power outages | Home & Garden
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The risk for injuries associated with generators and chain saws increases after natural disasters such as hurricanes. If misused, both of these products can lead to injuries and even deaths, the Alabama Department of Public Health cautions.
Power outages that follow storms prompt people to use generators which produce carbon monoxide. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause flu-like symptoms and ultimately lead to coma and death. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, toxic gas that is produced by all fossil fuel burning appliances and automobiles. Exposure to carbon monoxide is responsible for more fatal unintentional poisonings in the United States than any other agent.
Follow these recommendations for the safe use of generators:
- Have a carbon monoxide monitor with fresh batteries in it and place it in the residence high on the wall. Carbon monoxide is lighter than air and rises towards the ceiling.
- Place generators as far away from the home as possible. People have had carbon monoxide poisoning from generators as far away as 30 feet away from the house.
- If using the generator to power a window air conditioner, put the generator as far away as possible from that window, preferably on the other side of the house.
- Never hook up the generator to the home's normal wiring. Improper wiring of a home generator can create back-feed in the electrical wires to the house and could injure or kill utility workers repairing the electrical lines.
In addition to generator safety, another concern after storms is the safe use of chain saws. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 36,000 people are treated each year in hospital emergency departments for injuries from using chain saws. Before using a chain saw, be sure you know how to operate it. Read and understand the operator's manual and observe an experienced operator in action before starting work.
Follow these guidelines from the CDC to prevent chain saw injuries:
- Operate, adjust and maintain the saw according to manufacturer's instructions provided in the owner's manual.
- Properly sharpen chain saw blades and properly lubricate the blade with bar and chain oil. Additionally, the operator should periodically check and adjust the tension of the chain saw blade to ensure good cutting action.
- Choose the proper size of chain saw to match the job, and include safety features such as a chain brake, front and rear hand guards, stop switch, chain catcher and a spark arrester.
- Wear the appropriate protective equipment, including hard hat, safety glasses, hearing protection, heavy work gloves, cut-resistant leg wear (chain saw chaps) that extend from the waist to the top of the foot, and boots which cover the ankle.
- Avoid contact with power lines until the lines are verified as being de-energized.
- Always cut at waist level or below to ensure that you maintain secure control over the chain saw.
- Bystanders or coworkers should remain at least two tree lengths (at least 150 feet) away from anyone cutting down a tree and at least 30 feet from anyone operating a chain saw to remove limbs or cut a fallen tree.
- If injury occurs, apply direct pressure over site(s) of heavy bleeding; this act may save lives.
When cutting, beware of injury from the release of bent trees or branches Take extra care in cutting "spring poles," trees or branches that have gotten bent, twisted or caught under another object during a high wind. If the tree or the branch is suddenly released, it may strike the person cutting it, or a bystander, with enough force to cause serious injury or death. Even a seemingly small tree or branch (2 inches in diameter, for example) may pose a hazard when it is released from tension.
To avoid injury:
- Identify the maximum point of tension on the spring pole.
- Slowly shave the underside of the tree rather than cut through to allow the tree or branch to release tension slowly.
How the public can help:
- It is best to have a chain saw operator who has training and experience in safe chain saw use and cutting techniques.
- Be sure that bystanders are at a safe distance from cutting activities, the chain saw operator uses personal protective equipment, and workers follow safety guidelines.
For more information on injury prevention, please visit the Alabama Department of Public Health's website at www.adph.org.

Cowdenbeath is a former mining town, where the iron and coal mines closed in the 1960s to be replaced by light industry.
Today the town is well known for Cowdenbeath FC, the second division champions of 2011 - 2012 who are also known as 'the Blue Brazil'. The grounds have a capacity of 4,370 and also play host to stock-car racing and open air markets.
Whilst in Cowdenbeath, why not tee off at Dora Golf Club, a challenging 18-hole course surrounded by pretty parkland?
The town is also home to a busy high street, with the train station conveniently located nearby.

Just prior to the 9/11 slump in sales, Naked was about to break overground via Astralwerks with that perky, smooth, chill sound. They might have succeeded too, as they had mad appeal with the post-raver demographic. Since then, they have struggled like other house labels and their moment may have passed as post-ravers have moved on to more angst-ridden sounds (DFA, Metro Area, electroclash). I heard Naked Music's WMC party described (by house people) as "too experimental" and "sucked".
I think it will be interesting to see where this label heads next as they clearly had a vision and worked hard.
Any thoughts on this anyone?

This year, the Eliot Hotel's Clio marks its 15th anniversary, celebrating with a spruce-up of the restaurant's interior and other changes that seem designed to invite a revisit. So here we go.
Clio debuted in 1997, elegant and French, a young chef named Ken Oringer at the helm. The economy was strong, and new restaurants were opening in a quantity some felt Boston might not support. Surprise. The restaurant scene remains robust, dining a primary form of entertainment. Clio keeps ticking. The young chef, now seasoned, has gone on to open other, less-formal restaurants, maintaining a high standard for food while injecting Boston's dining scene with much-needed fun.
That is dining's wheelhouse right now, so what of Clio, a mature 15 and still relatively formal? After renovations, the dining room is modernized without looking too different. Threadbare seats have been reupholstered, but the signature leopard-print carpet still lets out its muted roar upon the floor. Half the customers are casually dressed, but on every visit there is at least one man who looks like an undercover Michelin inspector, dining alone in deep communion with his plate. Updates are most pronounced at the bar, which is lighter and more welcoming, with a few small booths. More seating was necessary — bartender Todd Maul is a real draw, with his chapbook of drinks embracing laboratory technology and tiki tradition.


text: I know alcohol isnt recommended for people that work out, but today was an especially stressful day. I just downed a shot of 90 proof liquor, should I be concerned with interactions with any of my supplements? Yohimbe? Preworkouts? Alphamine? Etc? It was just one drink and in about 30 minutes i'm gonna take some alphamine and go to the gym. Should I have any cause for concern?
