There's no shortage of issues surrounding the labeling of chicken. As more consumers become aware of the issues surrounding the industrial production of chicken, we've seen terminology and meaning drop left and right. Cage-free, free-range, free-roaming, free-running, naturally raised; each term comes and then gets swallowed whole by an industry that eagerly promotes the age […]

Drs. Larry Crabb and Dan Allender have filled their book with practical instruction on how to master the basic form of counseling Christians are called to do, following the New Testament admonition to 'encourage one another.' It includes step-by-step understanding with a biblical basis that shows the pitfalls to avoid.
Download - Audio, Unabridged$14.99
Encouragement. It's more than a compliment or a pat on the back. According to Drs. Larry Crabb and Dan Allender, it is the most basic form of counseling -- a skill that can be mastered by laypeople as well as counselors. What must we know in order to fulfill the biblical exhortation to 'encourage one another'? Encouragement: The Key to Caring tells you. Part one deals with understanding encouragement, and part two explores the process of encouragement, including such practical how-tos as - developing a careful selection of encouraging words - cultivating active listening skills - using biblical fellowship to move beyond superficial smiles and shallow greetings - recognizing subtle opportunities for encouragement -- Without the encouragement of a caring community, biblical truth taught in church tends to just thicken people's defense layers. But authenticity, freedom, and greater love for God and others are the fruit of encouragement, and evidence of the tremendous power God invests in individuals and churches who practice it.

Today's set of myths comes courtesy of my teenage daughter, and her friends Emma, Grace and Hannah. When her friends discover I'm a doctor, the questions come fast and furious. Sometimes I field medical questions, such as "Why does my knee hurt?" More often, the questions involve folklore and rumor. My daughter and her friends came up with five questions for my consideration. They are good examples of the nature of medical myths because they:
Lily: Is it normal for a 6th grader — referring to one of the friend's little sisters — to weigh 15 times her birth weight? I had to look up the answer to this one. I went to the growth charts, which provide a measure of average height and weight among healthy children. The average baby girl born in the United States is about 7¾ pounds. The average weight of a 12 year old is about 90 lbs. So, the "average" 6th grade girl weighs about 12 times her birth weight. Considering the significant variability in normal height and weight during development, there are many healthy 12 year olds who indeed weigh 15 times their birth weight. Emma: Can you get an ulcer from chewing gum? I couldn't find any studies specifically addressing whether chewing gum could cause stomach ulcers. But there's no reason to believe it's true. Nearly all ulcers are now thought to be due to a bacterial infection (called H. Pylori) or medications (especially non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen). Chewing gum has no connection to either of these. Well, almost no connection. There are aspirin-containing gums (such as Aspergum) that can cause ulcers just as aspirin tablets, ibuprofen and other NSAIDs can — and there's even a gum that may prevent ulcers. The leaves of Pistacia lentiscus (or Mastic tree), a native of the Mediterranean region, contain a resin which can kill H. pylori. Chewing mastic gum may be helpful in reducing the risk of ulcers. However, for the average teenager chewing "regular" gum, there's no clear increased risk of stomach ulcers. The bigger risk is probably getting in trouble for chewing gum at school. Grace: Will you die if you sneeze with your eyes open? Sneezing is actually a complicated reflex in which a trigger (such as pepper or dust) starts a chain reaction of events leading to the violent expulsion of the triggering substance. This reflex includes the muscles of the face and eyelids which briefly close the eyes. So, while it may take great concentration and may be difficult, keeping your eyes open during a sneeze is possible. But, it's certainly not fatal. Prove it yourself (if you dare). Hannah: Do you lose brain cells just from tapping your forehead? Many myths involve brain function and loss of brain cells. It's not possible to count brain cells until a person dies. So, claims about activities leading to the immediate loss of brain cells are largely unfounded. In fact, some studies have found no loss of brain cells with age, a surprising fact that was long considered impossible. Of course, there are other ways that brains may function poorly without losing brain cells. For example, brain injury or aging may disrupt connections between brain cells or alter the chemical messengers that allow the brain to function normally. This causes significant problems, even if the number of brain cells remains the same. The idea that simply tapping the forehead may cause loss of brain cells is an illogical extension of something true. Severe or significant repetitive brain injury can lead to brain damage. A good example is a disease called dementia pugilistica that can affect boxers. Muhammad Ali has a form of this disease, called Pugilistic Parkinson's syndrome. That's why athletes are discouraged from high impact activities if they've suffered one or more concussions. But, it's highly unlikely (and no evidence support it) that tapping the forehead causes loss of brain cells. Molly: Does deodorant cause breast cancer? The rumor that deodorants or antiperspirants might cause breast cancer has been around for years. And it might seem logical. Perhaps chemicals in these products get into breast tissue through nicks or cuts from underarm shaving. There's actually some good scientific evidence on this topic. Large studies comparing women with and without breast cancer suggest no definite connection between the disease and antiperspirant, deodorant use or underarm shaving. A smaller study did find a younger age at diagnosis among breast cancer survivors who shaved their underarms often, used antiperspirants or deodorants often and who did so at an early age. But this study only included women who had already been diagnosed with breast cancer. This type of evidence is considered weak and you can't draw any firm conclusions from it about the cause of breast cancer. While additional research might come to a different conclusion, for now it seems that most cancer experts dismiss the connection between breast cancer and deodorants. The Bottom Line I encourage my daughter and her friends to keep the questions coming. In my view, the only way to understand the difference between medical fact and myth is to keep asking questions and to keep an open mind. It's always important to consider the source of medical information, since much of it can come from unreliable sources. The answers I give my daughter and her friends could change over time. But the need to maintain a healthy dose of skepticism never will. Robert H. Shmerling, M.D. is associate physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School. He has been a practicing rheumatologist for over 20 years at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Tryout for female kicker is cut short by injury
Lauren Silberman's NFL tryout in Florham Park, N.J., lasted all of two kicks, neither of which traveled 20 yards.
Silberman became the first woman to compete at an NFL regional scouting combine yesterday, but she left the New York Jets' practice field after reinjuring her quadriceps. She tried two kickoffs, the first going 19 yards and the second about 13 yards, and then asked to see a trainer.
As more than two dozen media, including E! Entertainment network, watched her every move, Silberman, 28, was examined off to the side of the practice field. About 30 minutes later, while 36 other kickers continued their workouts, she called the scene "surreal" and thanked the NFL for " this tremendous opportunity."
A former club soccer player at Wisconsin, Silberman took no warmup kicks until she attempted her first kickoff and even appeared to have some trouble keeping the football on the kicking tee.
"I've always been an athlete, and I've always been a gamer," she said while fighting back tears. "When I had the opportunity to be in the NFL, one of the world's most competitive leagues, I absolutely had to take the chance."
Silberman said she suffered a quadriceps injury while preparing for the tryout earlier in the week, and she attributed her struggles to the injury.
"I tried staying off it and waited for today," she said. "I didn't even take kicks in warmups, and, it's pretty hard to know that you'll be in pain and I wanted to work through it and I certainly tried to, but I just couldn't do it today."
Thompson wins Honda Classic for first PGA title
Michael Thompson's dream of winning his first PGA Tour event had him walking up the final fairway with a big lead and very little stress.
The reality was much different yesterday at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
He had a one-shot lead as he stood in the 18th fairway, some 240 yards from the flag with trouble in the way in the shape of a large lake. The motto from his golf team at Alabama was to " finish strong," and Thompson did just that.
Instead of laying up, he drilled a 5-wood into the bunker left of the green, setting up a simple sand shot and a birdie he didn't even need. He closed with a 1-under-par 69, one of only five rounds under par on a punishing day at PGA National to finally become a PGA Tour winner.
"That for me kind of sealed the deal," Thompson said. "It allowed me to walk up the fairway and enjoy the experience, see the crowd and … just finish strong."
Thompson's 9-under, 271 total was two shots better than Geoff Ogilvy.
"This week was magical," Thompson said. "Just had a groove and kept feeling it."
• American Stacy Lewis won the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore for her sixth career LPGA title, overcoming two bogeys and some shaky putting on the back nine to hold off South Korea's Na Yeon Choi by a shot.
• Dawie Van Der Walt shot a 5-under 67 to finish at 21-under and win the Tshwane Open in Centurion, South Africa by two shots for his first European Tour victory.
Garza goes on DL; Cubs tab Samardzija for opener
Chicago Cubs right-hander Matt Garza will start the season on the disabled list because of an injured muscle in his side that is preventing him from throwing, and Jeff Samardzija will be the team's opening-day starter on April 1 at Pittsburgh.
• Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, a Reynoldsburg native, has a ruptured disk in his back. Matheny, a major-league catcher from 1994 to 2006, is set to have an epidural injection today to reduce inflammation and get a particle off a nerve. If the injection doesn't help, he said surgery would " have to be something we would consider."
Fenninger wins super-G; Maze gets death threat
Anna Fenninger of Austria upstaged the favorites to win a super-G race in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, while overall World Cup winner Tina Maze was placed under police protection after organizers received a death threat against the Slovenian.
Maze finished fourth in the race and had two bodyguards close by afterward. The threat came in an email received Saturday afternoon, after Maze had won the downhill race and broken the points record for a season.
• American Brittany Bowe won a 1,000-meter speedskating World Cup race in Erfurt, Germany, edging Ireen Wust of the Netherlands by 0.04 seconds. American Heather Richardson still leads the overall standings with 501 points, despite finishing 12th.

Add Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer to top of Queue
The world's most famous team of astronauts-cum-superheroes returns in the effects-heavy sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. As the story opens, Sue Storm (aka The Invisible Girl [Jessica Alba]) and Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic [Ioan Gruffudd]) prepare for their upcoming, superhero-studded wedding celebration. But Reed cannot stay focused on the nuptials -- he's distracted by wire reports of a bizarre, comet-like object hurtling toward the Earth with tremendous force, triggering brownouts, blackouts, tropical storms, and various other climatological disasters. When the said object hits the island of Manhattan, destroying much of the city in its wake, its identity becomes resoundingly clear. "It" is actually a "he" -- a psychotic villain known as The Silver Surfer (voice of Larry Fishburne) who intends, for some unascertainable reason, to destroy much of the Earth, just as he obliterated dozens of planets before it. Feeling compelled to rally their old gang and save the day, Sue and Reed summon Ben Grimm (aka The Thing [Michael Chiklis]) and Johnny Storm (aka The Human Torch [Chris Evans]) to take on the Surfer -- and end up battling not only him, but an obnoxious Army general (Andre Braugher) and the cantankerous Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon), who has broken out of his icy prison that held him captive at the end of the first movie. Tim Story returns to direct this sequel. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Gladiator duo Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe re-team for this adaptation of author Peter Mayle's best-selling novel about a London-based investment banker who relocates to Provence in hopes of selling a small vineyard he has inherited from his recently deceased uncle. As a child, Max Skinner (Freddie Highmore) was taught to appreciate the finer things in life while wandering the vineyard estate of his sophisticated uncle Henry (Albert Finney). Life has a strange way or turning out how you least expect it to though, and 25 years later, Max (Russell Crowe) is now a prosperous moneyman wheeling and dealing in the cutthroat world of London business. When Max learns that Henry has recently passed away and that he has been named the sole beneficiary of his late uncle's modest estate, the keen businessman hastily arranges a flight to France in order to assess the value of the old property and get it prepped for sale. After Max arrives to find the vineyard in a crumbling state of disrepair, his troubles are further compounded by the stubbornness of gruff estate winemaker M. Duflot (Didier Bourdon) and the unexpected arrival of a determined California beauty named Christie (Abbie Cornish), who presents herself as a long-lost cousin while making a dubious claim to Henry's estate. Meanwhile, the overstressed Max reluctantly finds himself falling for local café owner and town siren Fanny (Marion Cotillard), whose formidable guard is quickly worn down by the smitten beneficiary. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Who knows what evil lurks behind your television screen? Czech writer/director Jan Sverak offers a possibility in this satirical tale of televisions that suck the life-force from every living thing. Our hero is Olda, who found himself suffering from extreme lethargy after he is interviewed on a tabloid television show. The puzzled doctors at the hospital have no clue why he is so weak and tired. But Fisarek, a strange natural healer, suggests that the cause is chronic energy loss. Fisarek teaches Olda techniques for drawing energy from the life-forces of people (especially children), trees, and art. To gain strength, Olda must also engage in tantric sex with beautiful women at a Turkish spa. The trouble is, every time Olda is near a TV screen he becomes totally lethargic again. Olda is making love with Anna, his new love, when a sprung mousetrap activates a TV remote that sucks Olda's power, bounces it off a satellite and uses it to power a pornographic program. Olda, realizing the problem becomes a television avenger, vowed to stopping the demonic screens at all costs. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

His luck changes radically when Banerjee administers mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a bus accident victim, whereupon he is mistaken for a doctor by friendly model Amanda Donohoe (probably the nicest she's ever been on film). Donohoe talks up the skills of this "new Indian doctor", and before he knows what has hit him, Banerjee is head physician to the Prime Minister of England--with virtually every woman in the land vying for his services in bed! Never letting on where it is heading next, Foreign Body is adapted from an equally tricky novel by Roderick Mann. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Winds: East 11
After witnessing the Thanksgiving meal last week, it was suggested that a review of table manners and place settings for the holidays are in order.
Not gonna tell you who suggested the review or what retired firefighter The Wife said needed the review, but I think you can guess correctly.
Many things have gone out of style since those seven years my three brothers, my sister, and I spent growing up at 110 Flamingo Street. Unfortunately using correct table manners ain't one of them. Read More»
Once again this December, I plan to pull at least one four-hour shift, and hopefully more, sitting or standing behind a table at a big box store on a Saturday or Sunday smiling at people passing by, wishing them, "Merry Christmas," and offering lollipops free to kids.
I do that because I want them to give new toys or donate some money. I won't pressure them to give, I won't use guilt, and the kids get the lollipops free whether their folks give or not. Read More»
Several years ago, a young boy heard the circus was coming to town. He'd never seen a circus, so he asked his dad if he could go. Reluctantly, the dad told him he didn't think they could afford to buy a ticket. However, if the young boy could pick up some odd jobs and earn half the cost of admission, the dad would pay the rest.
So he raked leaves, cleaned gutters, cut shrubs and earned his half and was able to buy a ticket for the circus. Read More»
As a Christian and someone who considers it a privilege to live in this country, I find myself being drawn into questions of politics and asking myself this very question: does faith, in general, and Christianity in particular, have any place in politics?
Honestly, I don't have a concrete answer. I am at the point where I am trying to understand what appears to me to be a deliberate abstinence of many Christians and churches from politics all together. Read More»
[EDITOR'S NOTE: This coming Saturday, Dec. 7, marks 72 years since naval air forces of the Japanese Empire attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii military bases early on a Sunday morning.
Japanese naval forces included four heavy aircraft carriers, two heavy cruisers, 35 submarines, two light cruisers, nine oilers, two battleships and 11 destroyers.
Over 350 Japanese planes were involved in the surprise attack. At the end of the day, over 2,400 U.S. military service members and civilians lost their lives. Read More»

New York City police authorities are investigating a series of unprovoked physical attacks in public places on people who are Jewish, in the form of what is called "the knockout game."
The way the game is played, one of a number of young blacks decides to show that he can knock down some stranger on the streets, preferably with one punch, as they pass by. Often some other member of the group records the event, so that a video of that "achievement" is put on the Internet, to be celebrated. Read More»
I will be the first to acknowledge that there is much to be thankful for about life in America, especially when compared to those beyond our borders whose daily lives are marked by war, hunger and disease. Despite our kvetching, grumbling and complaining, most Americans have it pretty good compared to less fortunates the world over.
Still, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that all of our so-called blessings will amount to little more than gilding on a cage if we don't safeguard the freedoms on which this nation was founded. Read More»
When we reflect on Christmas, we think of the emphasis on shopping and the many exciting things associated with the holiday season. Early on, such as days like we are experiencing now, you can look out your window and see the leaves falling.
Falling leaves this time of the year remind you of October when they turned and gave us that splendor, which goes away all too quickly. This year, however, the color seemed to stay with us longer than I can remember. This past Thanksgiving, there were a few trees here and there which retained their color. Read More»

Army Navy Store » Law Enforcement Gear » Tactical Leg Rigs & Holsters
« Previous | Next »
Size Chart
Thigh holsters are the more recent popular military and police item that holds the firearm on the leg, right where the hand naturally hangs, making for a quick draw. Early U.S. cavalry units used these in the early 1900s with a leather thong strapping it to the leg. Modern ones often use a drop leg PALS grid with a modular holster attached. Often with buckles for quick release, a holster is an unspecified, yet specialized article of clothing or a device, worn to hold, or restrict the undesired movement of an item, such as a handgun or other weapon, cellular telephone, hand tool, or virtually any other small object about the person, most commonly in a location where it can be easily withdrawn for immediate use. Our leg rigs have great durability and retention, having the ability to withstand abuse and long-term usage without impaired performance. They are designed with retention in mind that will help prevent a gun from being removed from the holster by anyone other than the person wearing it. Our tactical leg holsters are great for police, security, military, public safety, law enforcement personnel, and much more. A tactical leg holster can either be used as your primary holster, or you can have multiple holster types per gun. Tactical Leg Rigs & Holsters are also known as berretta thigh attachments, New York Police department attire replicas, army navy pistol carriers, government issued handgun pockets, etc. Tactical Leg Rigs & Holsters are commonly misspelled as cheap discounted glock berrettas sales, etc.
We offer special low pricing for bulk orders and cheaper prices on large quantities for wholesale Black - Tactical 5" Drop Leg Beretta Holster. Our online army navy shop is always open to take your order to purchase and buy the Black - Tactical 5" Drop Leg Beretta Holster on sale at the cheapest and lowest price at our army navy store.

Youths in the Central District have found a place to learn new skills, teach others and give back to their community: the Bryant Manor Computer Learning Center. Located in a multifamily housing building owned by First AME Church, the lab offers a fun environment for young people to learn and grow.
"Our kids come from many diverse backgrounds," says Lab Director, Makini Magee. "They often struggle with fractured family dynamics due to their parents coming from different cultures and speaking different languages."
The computer lab provides a safe place for them to come for information and support. Makini teaches the kids technology skills through programs like TAF�s Techstart, and encourages them to share what they�ve learned by serving as peer educators.
Many of the students go on to join a leadership program which rounds out the kids� development in areas like writing and penmanship. The lab has received funding from the City of Seattle Neighborhood Matching Fund to further its work with youth and create a Central Area Youth Advisory Council. This council will work towards serving as a voice of the youth groups in the area and advise the Central Area Stewardship on issues relating to youth. For more information on Bryant Manor, contact Makini Magee or call (206) 324-2261.
The November election dust has settled, and it�s time to look at the winners and losers. Disabled Center Park resident, Charles Kinder, counts himself as a winner, even though he wasn�t elected to an office. For the first time, Charles and many other voters with disabilities were able to cast a truly secret ballot using an accessible voting unit.
This year, all polling places in King County gave residents the option to vote using accessible devices. The voting units come with both a screen with large print for the visually impaired and audio output for the blind voter. The units also can display multiple languages and alert voters when they skip a race to prevent overvoting. A summary screen then gives voters a chance to check and change their votes before they cast their ballot.
Jacque Cook, manager of the Star Center, a computer lab that serves those with disabilities, was excited about the possibility of her clients voting independently. In order to prepare folks to use the devices correctly, the Star Center and King County hosted a demonstration of the technology prior to the election.
"We wanted to encourage and empower everyone to participate," said Cook. At the demonstration, Charles Kinder remembered the exhilaration of the first time he voted in 1956. Throughout the years, he has always voted with the assistance of a sighted poll worker. "Being able to vote myself this year is even more exciting," he said.
For more information on the accessible voting visit MetroKC. For more information on the Star Center, email Jacque Cook.
According to our 2004 Seattle IT Indicators research, residents with disabilities were much less likely to have computer access at home than others (58% vs. 83%). Most of our community technology learning centers could do more to help meet the community need for greater access to computers and programs run in community learning centers. CTCNet is providing a great opportunity to build capacity and receive funding for work to ensure residents with disabilities, and all abilities are able to use and benefit from computer resources.
CTCNet, in partnership with the Alliance for Technology Access (ATA) is conducting �C4All� training institutes. The institutes provide an overview of the "Universe of Abilities," a self-assessment tool; planning activities; and hands-on demonstrations of "Cool Tools." Attendance also makes you eligible to apply for $20,000 grants. See more at CTCNet.org for upcoming workshops.

Security researchers have discovered a number of user pages on MySpace containing what appear to be YouTube videos that come bundled with an adware installer, an application that loads intrusive pop-up advertising software onto infected PCs.
Users curious about the Windows Media videos are directed to a site called "Yootube.info." The site, which has no affiliation with the Google owned video clip site, has a picture of a scantily clad young woman on its front page.
Surfers lured onto the site via the MySpace link are invited to accept an end-user licensing agreement in order to watch the video. If the user accepts, the video downloads while also covertly attempting to install the adware installer. The attack uses a Windows loophole previously used to spread Trojans and other malware.

Collegeis a time of new experiences that will shape your future….and what shapes a girls hips more then a GARBAGE PLATE?!
Health.com just published the "50 Fattiest Foods in the USA" recognizing the fattiest food in every state. And of course Rochester represents for New York.... yum.
This is what Health.com says:
"While New York–style cheesecake tops the list of fatty regional specialties, the Empire State is also home to the "garbage plate," a mess of potatoes, beans, meat, onions, mustard, and sauce that reportedly got its start at Rochester, N.Y. eatery Nick Tahou Hots in 1918. Ingredients: A base of home fries, macaroni salad, baked beans or French fries, topped with choice of meat (hamburger, cheeseburger, hot dog, sausage, chicken tender, fish, fried ham), and drenched in mustard, onions, and hot sauce—all amounting to about 3 pounds of food! Fat content: While there's no official dietary analysis for thevarious versions of garbage plates, estimates and homemade recipes clock in atanywhere from about 93 grams of fat per plate to an astounding 203 grams,enough for more than three days."
...And it only takes an RIT student 20 minutes toclear-that-plate.....

"The magic of the electronic village is transforming health information. The mouse and keyboard have extended the stethoscope to the 500 million people now online." — Dr. Edward Creagan

When is a promotion a bad move?
By Edward T. Creagan, M.D.
12 comments posted
One of my patients, a gentleman in his late 40s, returned for a routine cancer checkup. Fortunately, all was well from that perspective. However, he was clearly suffering from work-related stress. His blood pressure was sky high, so there was a very real risk of stroke or heart attack. His blood sugar was off the charts, and I was concerned about diabetes and its complications.
Need more help? |
If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
I started to probe what could be causing such stress. This gentleman had been a counselor for high-risk teenagers and had helped many teens straighten out their lives and become productive members of the community. In recognition of his success, he was appointed to a post overseeing dozens of agencies with hundreds of employees and a seven-figure budget.
With evident regret, this gentleman shared with me that accepting the promotion had been a major mistake. He didn't have the skill set or training to succeed in the position. Nor were his exceptional one-on-one skills valued in his new role.
There are lots of lessons here, but this is the one that struck me: Be careful what you wish for because you may get it. Better to play to your strengths and refine your gifts, and let the rest take care of itself.
Can anyone else relate to having your dream job turn into a nightmare?

Thank you for sharing this story! I can so relate to a promotion turning out to be a bad thing. I was a reporter at daily newspaper in New York City. (paper shall go unnamed) I loved the reporting, but was uneasy about my superiors and the overall culture of the place. But when a spot opened up for city editor a friend strongly recommended I apply. Everyone pushed me to do it -- they said it would look great on my resume. I did and got the job with more money -- and longer hours, more stress, more responsibilities, etc. I was miserable within 2 short months. The terrible corporate culture I had always suspected existed became glaringly clear. The job was fast-paced, non-stop nearly 24 hours a day and my boss and I increasingly became more and more hostile towards each other. I honestly don't know how I coped without having a nervous breakdown. I was miserable and so stressed. Well, I quit that job after 2 long years and am much happier. And that same boss who I battled with and fought the same daily stress factors as I did? He stayed at the paper and died this year of stage 4 colon cancer. He was given a year to live and died in 6 months. Your health and happiness are the most important things, people!! Not money, not prestige, not glitz and glamour -- your health! In today's culture we are always pushed to work harder, work longer, take more money, take the better job title, etc. Sometimes ... it's not worth it.

yES WITHOUT DETAIL THINKING, WITHOUT PLANNING , WITHOUT CHECKING THE LEVEL OF SUSTAINING TO NEW CHALLENGES WHICH WE HAVE TO FACE AT WORK IS THE MOST INFLUENCING ASPECTS FOR INCREASED LEVEL OF STRESS, THIS STRESS LEVEL RISES MAINLY DUE TO UNEXPERIENCED BOSSES, THEIR UNKIND & RUDE BEHAVIOUR WITH JUNIORS. BUT IT CAN REDUCED BY DOING OUR WORK TIME TO TIME, NEAT & CLEAN. IT IS OBSERVED IN COMPANIES, GOVERNMENT OFFICES, COLLEGES. PPOLITICS, ALSO.

Qigong—Chinese mind/body exercises--helped me immensely in my successful battles with four bouts of supposedly terminal bone lymphoma cancer in the early nineties. I practiced standing post meditation, one of the most powerful forms of qigong--as an adjunct to chemotherapy, which is how it should always be used. Qigong kept me strong in many ways: it calmed my mind--taking me out of the fight-or-flight syndrome, which pumps adrenal hormones into the system that could interfere with healing. The deep abdominal breathing pumped my lymphatic system—a vital component of the immune system. In addition, qigong energized and strengthened my body at a time when I couldn't do Western exercise such as weight-lifting or jogging--the chemo was too fatiguing. And it empowered my will and reinforced it every day with regular practice. In other words, I contributed to the healing process, instead of just depending solely on the chemo and the doctors. Clear 14 years and still practicing! 'Confronting Cancer with the Qigong Edge'

I was in a technician job that I loved for 20 years. Then I was promoted into a supervisory position that I was not suited for. The stress from politics and unkind bosses became a nightmare. I felt that there was dark cloud of doom over my head. I felt that there was no way out. My stress grew to the point of having panic attacks in which I thought I was going to die. I knew that I needed psychological evaluation and spiritual support. Thank God a new technician job opened up, and I was able to return to the job I had before. It took me a year to get the courage to go in for a complete medical and psychological evaluation. Also, by the grace of God, a pastor came to my front door which resulted in receiving spiritual support and guidance from the pastor joining the church. With the help of the correct medications, cognitive therapy, and faith in God, I recovered.

I too was promoted to a management position after being a therapist with disturbed adolescents in a residential treatment setting. At first I was very flattered but also was extremely nervous about this position as I was not trained in management. After two years of almost continual stress in trying to manage a job I didn't even like I decided to resign. I told them I wanted to go back to working with families and kids. What a relief !! I later took a job in Family Court Services as a Mediator/Child Custody Evaluator, a job reputed to be highly stressful. I loved it and found it no where near as stressful as a therapist trying to be a manager when she was clearly not set up that way !

in all we do must be sanity. We are seeking accountability and competence. For this we need a state of mind in a complete state of calm. we need to concentrate. we must recall what is our source of energy and it is our driving force.

...by the way, I even got a "Sustained Superior Performance Award", "Time Off Award" and a "Gem Award" in that government position, even though it was physically and mentally killing me.

I'm a detail person. I took a government position where you're in a lock-step promotion situation. I loved the first few years and wanted to stay right where I was. I didn't need the $$$ of each grade increase. I was finally at the top of my scale and hated it! It was too abstract. I was losing weight. My stomach hurt all the time. I was feeling guilty about not completing assignments. I finally asked to move into a lower position, with a $20K/year pay cut, to a job I love! Details! I'm happy! I'm healthy! My friends, family and co-workers could tell a difference right away, but just can't understand WHY. Oh, well.

This piece is timely given the broader economic picture, and illustrates some very important points. For a general, perhaps wry take on how promotions may affect us, consider googling the term "the Peter Principle," which states in essence that we tend to be promoted to the level of our incompetence. It sounds ridiculous, but there are so many examples of it all around. By focusing on an enhanced paycheck or job title that comes with a promotion or lateral move, we may be neglecting the other, less tangible psychological and social prices to be paid. Most people in this category are probably not incompetent, but instead find themselves working at the wrong place. In order to guard against being seduced by the blandishments of upward career mobility beyond our capacity, we need to be brutally honest with ourselves about our strenghts, weaknesses, and preferences. Also, it makes sense to consider the power games that sometimes go with new positions. Not everyone is temperamentally cut out to play a more aggressive career game, or to move away from using skills that may have brought them a measure of success in the first place. Playing to strengths is great advice.

Jonathan Wheeler Cemetery
This sign has been replaced with a new one erected by the Wheeler family.
3 comments:
Midge, my dad and I have been working real hard at cleaning and maintaining the jonathan wheeler cemetery for several years. We are finally at the point where it is looking quite good. My wife made the sign. We are actually in the process of replacing it with an aluminum one that will look almost identical. The weather was rough on the wooden one. Most all of the folks buried there are my direct ancestors. Are you related to the Wheelers?

Hi, Steve!
Yes, I visited the Jonathan Wheeler cemetery with my cousin Fred Burdick. I was looking for Jonathan and his wife Esther who are my 6th great grandparents. If you look closer at my blog you will find them here. Fred told me about the restoration process. I did notice the word cemetery spelled incorrectly on the sign but it was such a nice "New England style" sign I just has to take a photo of it. - 8:00 AM
Midge, the new aluminum sign has replaced the older, wooden one. We also corrected the cemetery spelling.(rather embarrassing) Fred Burdick is a friend of my dad's. (Richard Wheeler) They went to high school together. I would like to know more about your connections to Jonathan Wheeler. He is also my grandfather, way back. Hope to hear from you soon.

First Field Course of 2013 at Danau Girang Field Centre
Primate Behaviour and Ecology Field Course at Danau Girang Field Centre, 2013
A two-week field course in the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary in Sabah, Borneo is being offered for the 2nd consecutive year by Danau Girang Field Centre, from 20 July - 3 August 2013. The cost is £1000, which does not include your return ticket to and from the field centre. Information on the Field Course can be found here.
Danau Girang Field Centre is a collaborative research and training facility managed by Cardiff University and Sabah Wildlife Department.
It is situated in Lot 6 of the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary in Sabah, Malaysia and is surrounded by a mixture of lowland dipterocarp forest types, ranging from primary forest to disturbed secondary forest, in a matrix landscape with significant human impact including villages, small scale agriculture and oil palm plantations.
The forest is divided into 10 lots, comprising fragmented sections of forest of varying sizes, bisected by the Kinabatangan river. It is thus an ideal location to study wildlife and the effects of anthropogenic habitat alteration on biodiversity.
Research on the genetics and demographics of the Sanctuary's mammal species has been ongoing, mainly in collaboration with the NGO
HUTAN since 1999. Studies on the ecology and genetics of the orang-utan, Bornean elephant, proboscis monkey and long-tailed macaque are ongoing, involving Cardiff University, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, HUTAN, WWF Malaysia and other collaborators (Ancrenaz et al. 2004, 2005; Goossens et al. 2005, 2006a,b) yet much remains to be done and studies on the avifauna, herpetofauna, invertebrates and plants are surprisingly few. Examples of current research includes work on the elephant population (an endemic subspecies) and adaptive genetic variation in the primates of the Sanctuary but many opportunities exist for MSc, PhD and other projects within the sanctuary, subject to governmental and Danau Girang Field Centre Scientific Committee approval.
The centre provides facilities for field courses for the higher education sector, from overseas and within the Asia-Pacific region including Malaysia. Training in biodiversity assessment methods for trees, invertebrates (especially Lepidoptera and Coleoptera), reptiles and amphibians, birds (including ringing) and mammals (observation and tracking for both diurnal and nocturnal species) is available by arrangement. The facilities include a basic laboratory, a fully internet-linked computer laboratory, a lecture room and a library (see 'Facilities'). It is our intention that courses, wherever possible, contribute to and benefit from the monitoring efforts that are carried out in the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary, such that the students themselves can learn biodiversity assessment and monitoring while contributing to the long-term data that are important for understanding the dynamics and stability of fragmented forests in this region.

We arrived late and exhausted. The room was clean and big enough for us. Staff was friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast was disappointing - oatmeal packets, fruit, danishes, coffee and tea. The price was right and it was a great location for us. It is a motel so you can park directly in front of your room!

Movie of the Day – MacGruber
November 6, 2011 4 Comments
It's a silly comedy day at Another Plot Device. To my chagrin, I love stupid comedies. In fact I adore stupid action comedies. MacGruber is definitely in that category of dumb fun movies that is the source of much derision from people and is mainly seen by teens who only go to the movie to text during it, which is odd. I can see why this movie didn't get a lot of business at the theater, I mean it's based off of a 60 second skit from Saturday Night Live where Will Forte plays a MacGyver like characters who constantly dies at the end of an episode because of his idiocy. So taking that concept, which is funny in the small snippets of the show, and stretching it out to 90 minutes is bit daunting. So picking this movie up in the five dollar bin at Blockbuster (they still exist), I was, pleasantly surprised by this movie.

SEATTLE — An aging tank of high-level radioactive waste is leaking at the Hanford nuclear site in south-central Washington state at the rate of up to 300 gallons a year, federal authorities disclosed yesterday after discovering a dip in the volume of toxic sludge in the tank.
Though more than a third of the 149 old single-shell tanks at the site are suspected to have leaked up to 1 million gallons of nuclear waste over the years, this is the first confirmed leak since federal authorities completed a so-called stabilization program in 2005 that was supposed to have removed most liquids from the vulnerable tanks.
The new leak calls into question the effectiveness of that program, and state officials said it increased the urgency of ending roadblocks to a permanent storage solution for the 53 million gallons of waste housed at the sprawling site that was a center for atomic bomb-making material after World War II.
"This is very disturbing news. I am alarmed about this on many levels," Gov. Jay Inslee said at a news conference after he was contacted about the leak yesterday morning by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
"This raises concerns not only about the existing leak that has been recently discovered, but also concerning the integrity of the other single-shell tanks of this age, some of which have experienced prior leaks," he said.
Lori Gamache, a spokeswoman for the Department of Energy at Hanford, said the tank had most of its liquids removed during "interim stabilization" in 1995 and was left with 447,000 gallons of sludge.
Data showed a decrease in the volume, and when measurement accuracy was verified, it became apparent there was a leak into surrounding soil, she said. The estimated volume is 150 to 300 gallons a year.
State officials say there is no immediate health threat. It could take years or even decades for the material to reach the nearby Columbia River.

Do You Have 'Channel Attitude?'
3:00 PM EST Wed. Nov. 21, 2012Getting a Harvard MBA may gain you entrance into the Harvard Club, but it is not the best route to becoming a successful channel chief.
You certainly need to understand complex channel economics that can be taught in a prestigious university and be introspective to be a good channel chief, but it takes something more to develop what 30-year channel veteran Kevin Gilroy calls "channel attitude."
"You don't develop channel DNA just because you went to Harvard Business School or because you are smart," says Gilroy, the senior vice president of global indirect channels at ERP software giant SAP who is featured on CRN's 2012 Top 25 Channel Sales Leaders list. "It takes years. You have to chew the dirt of the street with the channel."
Gilroy, who has helped drive a channel renaissance at SAP, knows of what he speaks. He was also instrumental in building a strong channel culture at HP. Gilroy, in fact, drew a line in the sand between the indirect and direct sales organizations at HP with what he termed a "hard deck." That hard deck, which focused the HP direct sales on only the top 870 accounts, led to explosive channel sales growth at HP.
What Gilroy did at HP, and now has done at SAP, is bridge the divide between the direct and indirect sales organizations. "Good channel leadership has one foot in each camp," says Gilroy. "They know they work for representing the supplier, but they also represent the [indirect] channel inside the company, fighting for the channel, acting as an advocate for the channel."
That street-fighting channel attitude, by the way, extends into the sales trenches, pushing the company's solution provider partners to step up for the vendor, making investments, for example, in next-generation technology ahead of revenue and committing to sales growth year after year.
Gilroy, in fact, is put off when he visits partners that tell him their account rep is the "nicest person" in the world. "Show me that partner account manager, and I will show you a flat revenue line," he says. "It's not just about going out for beers or lunch. You need constructive contention. The best account managers push partners and get under their skin."
At SAP, Gilroy has brought in a significant amount of channel talent from HP, including former HP channel executives Michael Coleman, Meaghan Sullivan and Susan Reynolds, to build what he calls channel DNA.
Getting that top channel talent is one thing, but if you don't have a channel-savvy CEO, it is for naught. At SAP, Co-CEO Bill McDermott has made driving an aggressive channel sales transformation a top priority. "McDermott understood the value of the channel and he set in motion a plan for 40 percent of the business to go through the channel," says Gilroy.
That 40 percent of sales going through the channel was a 2015 goal. But Gilroy says he believes the 40 percent target will be met in 2014. Those are the kinds of numbers that would impress any Harvard MBA.

Does anyone know of good sources for the use of rockets in battle and rocketry in general during the Civil War? I know they had been used in battles since the Chinese invented gun powder back in the middle ages (or a bit before). But in the depictions I've seen of the CW era, I have rarely seen them used as anything other than some kind of a signal, but nothing was ever explained about HOW they were used to signal, ie: what it meant to have three rockets whistling overhead. |

Tim, I need to do a little research on this one. Off the top of my head I can only recall a singal mention of signal rockets but I am sure there are many more. This one comes from OR vol. 17 part 2 page 266. It is from Rosecrans directions to is subordinates during the pursuit of Van Dorn after the Battle of Corinth. "Lieutenant-Colonel Lothrop will furnish chiefs of divisions with rockets for signals. Three rockets at intervals of one minute will indicate the head of the advance columns; two at intervals of one minute will indicate the head of the columns supporting the advance, and one will indicate the rear of the entire column on each line. Should the signals of one not be answered by the other they may be repeated every fifteen minutes until answered." Typical confusing directions from Mr. Rosecrans. Some time ago I saw an episode of "Myth Busters" on the Discovery Channel and they were investigating a Confederate rocket using parafin wax as the fuel. I can't recall the exact particulars but apparently it worked. I'll get back with you if I find more, Tom |

They tried to create a rocket battery in Texas, the engineer who built the defenses at Sabine Pass oversaw that project, pretty good description here and why it didn't work: http://www.wtblock.com/wtblockjr/kellersbe.htm Here is a pretty good overview in this link, says JEB Stuart used them at Harrison's Landing.

Two types of rockets used during the war, Congrave and Hale, are mentioned in the article at this site. It also includes a photograph of a Hale rocket. http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/dsh/artifacts/RM-Hale24pdr.htm In "Arms and Equipment of the Civil War" by Jack Scoggins there is a brief description and drawing of each on page 97. From "War Years with Jeb Stuart" by Lt. Col. W.W. Blackford, C.S.A., Stuart opened on them with a Congrave rocket battery, the first and last time the latter ever appeared in action with us. It had been gotten up by some foreign chap who managed it on this occasion. They were huge rockets, fired from a sort of gun carriage, with a shell at the end which expolded in due time, scattering 'liquid damnation,' as the men called it. Their course was erratic; they went straight enough in their first flight, but after striking, the flight might be continued in any other course, even directly back towards where it came from. Great consternation was occasioned among the camps of the enemy, as these unearthly serpents went zigzagging about among them...A few tents were fired but the rockets proved to be of little practicle value. In this excerpt a Confederate describes an incident from the fighting around Petersburg in 64/65, from Confederate Veteran magazine, Volume XXVIII (1920) page 419; The monotony of the long, cold nights out in the pits was very trying, and we devised many schemes to break it. One of these was firing rockets made of Minie balls into the enemy pickets. These were mad by scooping out the leaden ball so that it was only a shell. In the cavity we packed powder that had been dampened with saliva. A charge of dry powder was placed in the gun, and the ball containg the damp powder was inserted in the gun with the sharp end down. By giving the gun the right elevation the ball, with its long tail of fire following it, would fall into the Yankee pits and create great confusion among them for awhile. Friend and foe alike enjoyed the joke, and after awhile the enemy caught on to the trick. A brave but nervous picket on my right who was an expert at this thing was frightened out of the pit when one of these rockets fell on him. |
