Familial dysautonomia (FD), also called Riley-Day syndrome, is an inherited disorder that affects the nervous system. The nerve fibers of people born with FD don't work properly. For this reason, they have trouble feeling pain, temperature, skin pressure, and the position of their arms and legs. They can't fully experience taste.
In addition, people born with FD have a hard time regulating bodily functions, a condition called dysautonomia. These functions are managed by the autonomic nervous system -- the network of nerves that controls such "automatic" functions as breathing and sweating.
In people with FD, dysautonomia can affect many vital functions. It can cause difficulties in swallowing, digestion and passing urine. It also can interfere with the control of blood pressure, body temperature and the production of tears to keep the eyes moist.
FD primarily affects Jews of Eastern European (Ashkenazi) background. It is a genetic problem that is caused by an inherited mutation, or change, in a gene called IKBKAP. Scientists believe that a mutation in this gene interferes with the body's ability to produce a key protein necessary for nerves to develop and function normally.
FD only occurs when someone inherits two copies of the mutated or changed gene, one from each parent. If a child inherits only one copy of the mutated IKBKAP gene from one parent, and one normal gene from the other parent, he or she will be a "carrier" of FD. Although he will not show symptoms of the illness, a carrier can pass the gene to his or her children without ever even knowing that they have it.
Doctors estimate that about 1 of every 30 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of FD. This means that roughly 1 in every 3,600 children of Ashkenazi families is born with the disorder. In most cases, an FD carrier is unaware of the genetic problem until a close family member -- child, sibling, niece or nephew -- shows symptoms of the disorder.
Symptoms of FD usually begin during infancy and become worse with age. These symptoms can include:
Some children with FD may have repeated episodes of vomiting, called autonomic crises, which can occur every 15 to 20 minutes and can last for more than 24 hours. During these episodes, the child also may have very high blood pressure, a drenching sweat, skin blotches, pain in the abdomen, difficulty breathing and other symptoms. These episodes can be triggered by emotional or physical stress such as an infection.
Your doctor may suspect FD based on your child's symptoms, your family's Ashkenazi heritage and the results of your child's physical examination. Typical problems your doctor may find during an examination include a smooth, glossy tongue; decreased reflex response to tapping on a tendon; and the absence of overflow tears with crying.
To help confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may do histamine testing, in which a natural chemical called histamine is injected under your child's skin. Children who do not have FD will develop a small red skin bump called a wheal at the site of the histamine injection. Children with FD, however, do not have the same reaction. If no wheal develops at the histamine site, your doctor may take a sample of your child's blood and send it for genetic testing to look for the mutated IKBKAP gene.
Familial dysautonomia is a lifelong problem.
FD cannot be prevented. However, through genetic testing, people of Ashkenazi heritage can find out whether they carry the mutated IKBKAP gene before they start a family. A genetic counselor can explain a couple's risk of having a child born with FD.
In addition, special screening tests for FD are available in a small number of medical centers that focus on FD research. These centers are located in the northeastern United States and in Israel.
There is no way to correct the gene mutation that causes FD. Treatment focuses on relieving a child's symptoms and preventing complications. Treatments include:
If you have a close blood relative with FD, check with your doctor about the need for genetic testing before you start a family. Also talk to your doctor about the risk of having a child with FD if you and your spouse are both of Ashkenazi heritage.
At one time, almost everyone with FD died during childhood. Now, because of advances in medical care, many live into adulthood.

Installing a subversion server
03 years ago
Source control is off course an essential part of the development process and Subversion is an excellent system for that purpose. In the past, installation of subversion was a bit complicated because it involved several steps, an Apache webserver and not-so-accessible user management and repository configuration. However, nowadays installation and management can't be easier, on whatever platform you are either with Collabnet Subversion Edge or with VisualSVN Server.

Hello everyone,
I have good news. We are moving together with Katy. It is very good because finally we will be able to strengthen each other every day to stay on this lifestyle as we are still addicted to cooked food. We came up with the idea to arrange a HCRV meeting. It would be placed in a village, surrounded with beautiful lakes and forests with spring. This village is Nagycsepely in Hungary at Lake Balaton which is the busiest tourist place in the country.
We plan to do programs such as cycling, hiking, swimming, etc. Transitioning is rarely easy and a meeting like this can build solid base for the start. As more we are gathering together the more we motivate each other. What's more, we can hope for better discount. So far we managed to talk to owners of houses and farmers avoiding pesticide. The best price we could manage to bring together making a package is 200 pounds. This includes the food and your stay either in the house or tent (well, I would decently go for tent, it is very hot over there during summer and u might be so lucky to see deer as they often come into the village – sure we have to live the gate open :) ).
We plan to do this gathering at August 6-12. (can change according to demand) Katy is a fitness instructor, as u can see on her profile. She is ready to help everyone want to get personalised training free of charge. She will check some flights for you but most of the time you can count around £100 from London, £150 from north-east (UK) . I'm not sure about other countries.
Please let us know if anyone is interested.
Come on guys, this is a great opportunity for us to get together while having a fun "holiday"! We are really trying to get a good price, it seems that in £200 we could arrange food, accomodation, bills and seasonal, mostly organic fruits and vegetables from the local farmers, THIS PRICE IS FOR THE WHOLE WEEK!!! We also included sleeping bags and towels, so You would have to bring that much less luggage, however if You rather save the money, we are happy to let You bring Your own and bring the price down, its not a problem.
Hungary is a beautiful Eastern Europian country with hot summers (avg 27-35C) and nice, warm evenings. We would be surrounded by amazing forrests AND the country's largest beach only 15 min drive away - the best of both really! And if You want to make your holiday longer, y not make it a whole trip taking the gathering as only one of your stations of a Europe-trip??? There are so many opportunities out there! :D
I am so excited, can't wait already! We have a wide range of people interested from both Hugary and UK, a friend from Catalonia - families with children to young ppl interested in their health, welcoming the opportunity to get some real information on a healthy lifestyle, and spend a quality holiday, its so great!
Please, give us some feedback, what do You think about the idea, so that we can make it better. We would need to arrange the house as soon as we can, so if you are even just considering of coming, pls, write in the forum or send a private message to me or ibocska, so that we know how to what to expect :))
Thank u so much, take care x
What's up my fellow Hungarians?!! :)
Ibolya, it sounds like a great come-together, affordable price too!!!
Can't make it this year, but maybe next time!
You guys have fun!!!!:)
Hey everyone!
Here is a little video about our meeting on 6-12 Aug 2012.
Anyone interested in a fun and sporty few days together concentrating on eating healthy (LFRV), are welcome. We are planning to put some money together for food and accommodation, rent a nice little house out near the Balaton and organize some fun non-profit events to get us together to meet, help and support each other in our journey. It is a great opportunity to introduce your loved ones to this lifestyle, too, if they want to learn more about it, even experience it for the time being, or for yourself to get started, get some motivation to keep you going and see that you are really not alone. Its a great opportunity to meet other like minded people and have fun :)

Bank offers opportunity to give holiday mail to heroes
People can send holiday greetings to members of the military through their community bank.
People can send holiday greetings to members of the military through their community bank. Anyone who wants to sign a holiday card that will be sent to a military member or wounded warrior can drop by any of the branches of the National Bank of Commerce (NBC) now through Monday. Free holiday cards are being provided by NBC as a way to honor America's military members who may be in a hospital or serving abroad this holiday season. The project is part of the American Red Cross' annual "Holiday Mail for Heroes" program.
According to Valerie Blanchenay, vice president marketing director at NBC, the bank would like to contribute 4,000 signed greetings before the program ends early in December. National Bank of Commerce in the area's largest, locally-owned bank, with branches in Duluth and Hermantown, Minn., two banks in Superior and locations in Poplar and Solon Springs.
"Holiday Mail for Heroes has been a very successful partnership between the American Red Cross, Pitney Bowes, and organizations like NBC," said Judy Hanne Gonzalez, executive director at the Northland Chapter. "Our military members and wounded need to know that we care about them when they are far from home during the holidays, and we're excited about NBC's participation."
Gonzalez said that several other local groups are also participating in the Holiday Mail for Heroes project, including the Air National Guard, 148th Fighter Wing and the University of Minnesota-Duluth. More information about the Holiday Mail for Heroes promotion is available from the Northland Chapter at 218-722-0071.

"In today's world, finding a good, faithful husband or wife is like finding a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, CatholicMatch.com is bringing single Catholics from all over to meet, to get to know each other and to broaden the 'pool' of eligible spouses!"
"In Christian marriage, one's spouse is one's "Number Two" while the only "Number One" is God. CatholicMatch.com is laying the groundwork so that in loving God, future spouses may find the only way to adequately love each other."
"CatholicMatch can help you find your soul mate and maybe even yourself! Unlock the secret to your personality by understanding your temperament and that of your friends and even potential spouse! Take the temperament test on CatholicMatch, and find out whether you are choleric, sanguine, melancholic, or phlegmatic! You will get to know yourself (and your loved ones) a little better."
"I think that reputable and orthodox Catholic Internet communities, like CatholicMatch.com, are prime meeting places for people looking for a future spouse."

Not often you see any company these days -- 980.
Million dollars on a single project -- take a look we've been following Madison square gardens massive transformation from the very beginning.
The world's most famous arena is shopping at stores for 22 weeks for phase two.
And -- CEO and president -- -- are invited us to be there exclusively as the cranes got to work.
Strains on the -- you see the workers roll over and we're literally.
Taking out the entire -- Madison Square Garden.
To build a brand new laughable Madison Square Garden.
During the summer over your right shoulder the claims are starting right now -- you've got all kinds of equipment it's amazing to me that just ten days ago there was a hockey game for the Rangers.
-- and we certainly hope that we are playing instead of doing this today.
Here we are and it is amazing that you go look around and the luxury suites on the tenth floor.
Aren't there anymore they're been -- fifty truckloads of materials moved out of the building.
Thousand workers here every day since then decommissioning the building.
And now again getting ready to take down what we need to take down so we can rebuild the total project 980.
Billion dollars is the costs.
Is it -- time for.
Perhaps more importantly is it within your budget parameters -- nothing's changed materially from the 980 so that's still where we are.
As far as timing we still plan to be done.
For the start of the thirteen -- season.
Earnings beat up up top and bottom line estimates your revenue was pretty impressive it was up considerably Dell.
How in dollars and cents just the transformation crop up perhaps -- these.
Well what you saw as they affect the first effects of the transformation the full quarter with a transformation.
Both teams playing the building open for concerts and the effect of ticket pricing.
The -- suites the new sponsorship deals and who more reports of the new food.
So you see it for the first time affected in the numbers.
Knicks and Rangers let's get to that both teams made the playoffs the stock topic -- but actually pop sensation.
That his -- people live is Jeremy let coming back to the next next season.
Well I can't talk about apple I can't talk about -- thing Jeremy -- was one of the many factors that contributed that a financial success that we had over the past year.
And it -- been turned around we wanted to winning streak.
The Coach James we've wanted to charge and made the playoffs and again you're back for the transformation were quite significant as they -- had -- in that quarter Madison Square Garden.
Obviously the gigantic diamond.
What about adding another tool to -- to more of -- -- people know leave and options department perform we've been busily working on that option.
And you know we we we hope we move forward we hope to make that happen.
Listen you be buying it at a low price of the last they had there -- a flea market a rodeo and that's something that you would want Buckland going there it.
Great iconic building it happened to be built by the same architect that -- Madison Square Garden of the building we're very familiar -- And it's a beloved building it's one of those you -- speak to people in the entertainment and sports world.
They dream of arrived for a if we go forward before but because we think we can -- performance success.
And -- that the feedback we've gotten from.
Music musical performers -- -- -- industry got a lot of people cheering for that after about five will be watching for that and finally -- entertainment aspect of it.
But Justin Bieber.
But the teen singing sensation sold out but -- -- shows in thirty seconds.
Justin Bieber selling out there's not a usual we would have expected that most of the shows that -- fell out and that's one of the benefit people -- the -- the court.
They know we can sell out those shows.
And finally once again we look over your shoulder at the cranes beginning work right now we are here Fox Business here for the start of this what's your greatest hope and -- for this building.
Not just -- the repeat what happened after the summer one you know we couldn't be more thrilled with the success we have we reopened for this year.
When we reopen next year hopefully we'll find the same we'll get the same critical acclaim.
From everybody who came to the building whether they be the patrons or our advertisers or the athletes -- the performers we can just hope against a repeat what occurred.
But it's a lot of --

TO: Merit Supervisory, Merit confidential, and Merit AFSCME Staff
The most recent developments in University Human Resources demonstrate our continuing commitment to support the health and productivity of staff in the work of the University:
Live Healthy Iowa – A Top Ten Finish: The University of Iowa finished 8th among the fifty largest employers participating in this state-wide health promotion which concluded in May. A total of 1,380 faculty and staff of the University participated by recording over 75,000 hours of activity and a combined weight loss of 3,740 pounds during the five month program. Congratulations to those who participated for representing the University and demonstrating their personal commitment to improving their health and wellness.
Wellness Grants Go Local: A pilot program has been launched to provide funding to support local efforts to promote employee health and wellness. The grant-supported projects are intended to make the adoption and maintenance of healthy choices and practices easier or otherwise support a culture of wellness within a work unit. Proposals may be submitted to UI Wellness for funding of up to $10 per employee participating, or up to a $500 maximum per grant. More information is available at: www.uiowa.edu/hr/wellness/wellness_grants
NEW-Preliminary Vacation/Sick Leave Report – More Current Information: University Payroll now provides a Preliminary Vacation/Sick Report (available in Self Service) which is updated daily as new information about individual leave use is submitted. This new report provides a more timely estimate of an individual's actual accrued leave balances. A final reconciliation of leave accruals and use will continue to be provided for the end of each month and displayed on the regular Vacation /Sick Leave report, but the more frequent updating of the preliminary report will help individuals and departments plan the use of accrued leave more easily and accurately.
Learning Opportunities about Social Media and More: New courses are now offered through Learning and Development about the uses of various forms of social media. The courses available include an introductory class, as well as classes specific to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. These courses are geared toward the possible use of social media in University work activities, such as in marketing and recruiting. Learning and Development staff are also looking at new technologies for providing learning opportunities to staff. This includes a comprehensive review of Skill Soft and the e-learning resources currently available to faculty and staff.
Coming This Fall:
Tell us About Working at IOWA – Survey 2012 is Coming: Human Resources will be repeating the Working at IOWA engagement survey, previously conducted in 2006 and 2008. This survey provides an assessment of your engagement in your work at the University, as it relates to our overall effectiveness and productivity, and provides an opportunity to identify areas for improvement. The 2012 survey will be shorter, with a modified report format that can be produced more quickly for use by the University community. Human Resources also will be providing additional support for using the survey results to develop action plans in response.
Building a Tracking System for Compliance: Finally, an initiative is underway to build a comprehensive electronic system for tracking the various compliance requirements of individual positions. This will eventually replace the various local systems currently used and provide one system for use throughout the University. Implementation is currently targeted for FY 14.
University Human Resource staff are proud to support you and the rest of the University community through these and our other activities and initiatives. Highlighting these improvements provides me with an opportunity to thank you for your personal contributions toward the mission and goals of the University of Iowa.

Vice President for Human Resources

Although Z2K is neither an immigration or refugee charity, we do often meet migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in desperate need of our help. Below is our Caseworker Yiannis' account of how he gave Z2K's trade mark intensive assistance to a family on the verge of homelessness. Unfortunately Brent's behaviour is all too common among Local Authorities who will try anything to get out of providing assistance to those in need.
Mr and Mrs F was referred to us the day before his eviction, by his MP Glenda Jackson. The family were failed asylum seekers, with two young children. With nowhere to move to, we accompanied them to Brent social services. They said they could only help the children, and the parents would need to live somewhere separately. The parents were very upset when they heard this, and understandably said that that would not be an option.
Brent then told us the Fs would need to apply for assistance under the National Assistance Act 1948, through the Refugee Council. We went to Brixton, only to be told after a long wait that they need to make a fresh asylum claim before NAS assistance can be offered. With both tenants in tears, we then went back to Brent Council and asked them to house the children and parents together. However they had not changed their positions, they would only house the children, without Mr and Mrs F.
We asked them to reconsider, as they have a legal duty to do what is in the children's best interest ( which involves keeping the family together whenever possible). The case was referred to 'senior management', only for us to wait until 5pm to be told once again that separating the parents from the children was an option being seriously considered by Brent. The mother of the children, who was already crying, had a minor panic attack, finding it very difficult to breathe or drink water. A few minutes later, the social worker from Brent returned and said that Brent had decided to house the whole family in a nearby BnB for one night only, to give them a chance to make a successful application for NAS assistance. No apology or explanation was offered as to why this offer had not been made until so late in the day, and after so much anguish on the part of the parents.
The next day, as it was clear that NAS assistance would take a week to be sorted out (at least), Brent decided to house them for a further 15 days. We referred them to another organisation which could help with their immigration and NAS applications.

Psychological effects of the insecurityEveryone in Gaza was exposed to the insecurity during the Israeli army's incursion, as there was no safe place nor any possibility of escape. "It is too early to evaluate the psychological impact of the latest bombings and fighting. For the moment, the psychological effects are normal given the period of intense insecurity they have endured," said Angels Mairal, coordinator of MSF psychosocial programs. "Nightmares, insomnia, weight loss, irritability, poor concentration, hyper vigilance, or psychosomatic signs like headaches and stomach pains often occur after periods of high stress. If these persist more than one month they may be considered symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder or another psychological disorder."

McCain's Annoying Little Fraud
kf recasts its blog in its own maverick image!
"I don't want you to take out of context what I said during the campaign."
The press has played yesterday's Washington meeting as a way to let Obama, worried about losing the election, suck up to Hillary supporters. But maybe it was also a way to let erstwhile Hillary supporters, worried about losing access to power, suck up to Obama. ... 10:37 A.M.
Mike Mur ... I mean the blogger Richelieu thinks McCain shouldn't overdo his support of gun rights, especially handgun rights.
In the end, this election will be decided by white females and ticket-splitting independents. The handgun issue is no huge winner among this group.
Richelieu suggests that he's armed, however. So don't call him "Mike" to his face. ... 10:34 P.M.

The House is expected to pass legislation to keep the government funded, but pull the plug on the Affordable Care Act.
Standing united with colleagues from the House of Representatives, Utah Senator, Mike Lee is gearing up for a fight.
"Yesterday was a great day, a day of victory for the many, many Americans who have been speaking with a sustained voice over the last two months," says Lee.
He's referring to legislation going to the House for a vote.
"It will keep the government funded, keep everything funded while defunding Obamacare," says Lee.
The Defund Obamacare Act is expected to clear the house as early as Friday, but it faces an uphill battle in the Senate.
"I would hope that maybe a handful of democrats, perhaps some of those up for reelection in red states might consider joining with us as well," says Lee.
As the debate in Washington continues, implementation of Obamacare is moving full speed ahead.
"There's a lot to do here in Utah to prepare for the Affordable Care Act," says Jason Stevenson, with Utah Health Policy Project.
Open enrollment is less than two weeks away. It begins October 1st, 2013 and runs through March 31st, 2014. If you want your insurance to kick in on January 1st, 2014 you must be enrolled by December 15th.
"Here in Utah we've elected to have the federal government run the market place for individuals and families, so people are going to find insurance on a website that's http://healthcare.gov," says Stevenson.
Stevenson says http://healthcare.gov is a one stop shop with competitive options.
"You'll type in I'm from Utah and you'll be instantly connected to all the Utah options that are available to you. We think there will be about 99 plans," says Stevenson.
Most people who willfully decline will pay the price when filing a 2014 tax return. It carries a $95 fine for adults, $47.50 for children.
Those with private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid won't notice much of a difference.
"There's going to be some little tinkering around the edges, but really the Affordable Care Act is designed for those who have been shut out of the insurance market for many years," says Stevenson.
If Senator Lee and other republicans on Capitol Hill get their way, it will never get to that. Lee is starting the Defund Obamacare Act debate with a preemptive strike.
"If democrats in the Senate reject it, then they've got to come up with a proposal. They don't have a proposal, we haven't seen a proposal from them, we haven't even heard of an outline of a proposal," says Lee.
Senate democrats will likely do just that, reject the plan.
Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid tweeted that any bill defunding Obamacare will be "dead on arrival in the senate." He calls the effort a waste of time.

Scary dashcam videos"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading."
-- Thomas Jefferson
Re: Scary dashcam videosI see most of these video were from the Far East, USSR or something like that.
Ice and snow will kill you, if anyone drove on ice as I did, one knows the facts. Speed does kill, as we all know, I drive a lot of miles on the road as other members do, I watch my speed and keep my eyes moving all the time. I close on this, 8 people die every hour in a car accident in the U.S alone, just thinking about over seas and their traffic laws, How many people bite the bullet. Any Comments.
Re: Scary dashcam videosThe USSR is long gone, but the video was apparently produced in Russia, which would explain why most of the videos are from that part of the world. Wondering why so many folks seem to have dash cams.
"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading."
-- Thomas Jefferson
Re: Scary dashcam videos
Because they know the carnage out there and they can sell the vidoes? I think the difference in speed causes lots of accidents, not necessarily speed alone. If everyone on the road is doing 70mph and one person is doing 40mph then he just might be the problem. From watching these wrecks, I think mostly it was stupidity.

By Mayo Clinic staffHair loss (alopecia) can affect just your scalp or your entire body. It can be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying medical condition. Anyone — men, women and children — can experience hair loss.
Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp. Some people prefer to let their baldness run its course untreated and unhidden. Others may cover it up with hairstyles, makeup, hats or scarves. And still others choose one of the medications or surgical procedures that are available to treat hair loss.

Going Green? Make It Official
Fast-forward 40 years, and U.S. companies are eager to align themselves with the Earth Day spirit. Major international corporations from GE(GE) to Cargill to Coca-Cola(KO) brag about their sustainability initiatives on their websites, while the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart(WMT) , has made energy conservation a central message of its corporate marketing.
Being environmentally conscious is seen as being good for business, but it's important to prove it's not just talk. |
Unlike 1970, many of the Earth Day events we saw Sunday were paid for through corporate sponsorship. Which means going green is seen as being good for business.
But how do you know if a company really walks the walk? It's one thing to say you care about the environment; it's another thing to completely revamp your supply chain to eliminate waste. Small businesses that have invested a lot of time and money into improving sustainability want customers and suppliers to know that their concern for the environment is more than just good PR.
That's why it's become increasingly important for small businesses who take sustainability seriously to get a stamp of approval from an independent third party. It shows customers that the company doesn't just boast of being green, but can back up that boast with specifics.
Certain industries have their own specific certification processes. Organic food, for example, is regulated by the USDA's National Organic Program, while builders and architects can get LEED certification for their projects through the U.S. Green Building Council. Business whose products are not covered through an industry-specific agency can apply to an independent organization that offers green credentials.
The certification group with the longest track record is Green America, a nonprofit organization with impeccable environmental credentials that was founded in 1982. The group assesses businesses based on their environmental practices and social justice initiatives, meaning workers' rights and community involvement are just as important as recycling and conservation.
A small business can get the Green America "Seal of Approval" if it actively promotes positive social change or uses environmentally responsible sourcing, manufacturing and marketing. Companies can also earn the designation of "Green Certified Business" at three different levels (the highest, Gold, is reserved for companies that show leadership within their industry and make social responsibility a core of their mission). The organization works on a membership model, with members given access to assessment tools and educational materials. The organization also encourages peer-to-peer networking through meetings and webinars.
Two other organizations, founded more recently, also offer green certification, with a focus on environmental practices rather than the broader, social justice mission of Green America. The Institute for Green Business Certification assesses all aspects of a company's environmental impact, including waste removal, energy efficiency, water use and carbon footprint. The organization works on a consultant model: A small business is assigned an environmental analyst who works one on one with the company through telephone calls and on-site visits.

Director : John Woo
Screenplay : Dean Georgaris (based on the short story by Philip K. Dick)
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2003
Stars : Ben Affleck (Michael Jennings), Aaron Eckhart (Rethrick), Uma Thurman (Rachel Porter), Paul Giamatti (Shorty), Colm Feore (Wolfe), Joe Morton (Agent Dodge), Michael C. Hall (Agent Klein), Peter Friedman (Attorney General Brown), Kathryn Morris (Rita Dunne)
After watching Paycheck, one might be tempted to think that the title refers to director John Woo's primary reason for making the movie.
Woo, an extraordinary action auteur who made an international name for himself in Hong Kong during the 1980s and early 1990s with a string a balletic masculine movie-myths and has since moved on to a Hollywood career marked by both misses (his 1993 debut, Hard Target) and hits (1997's Face/Off), plays this one largely by the numbers. Some of his signature bravura action is certainly discernible (at one point, there's even an inexplicable white dove flying amidst the violence), but it's all toned down until it's so generic and rote that virtually any competent director could have done it. And, not only that, Woo's melodramatic flourishes and thematic fascination with masculine bonding and the blurring of good and evil are virtually absent. Simply put, it's not a John Woo movie.
Paycheck's admittedly intriguing story is courtesy of the brilliant sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick, whom Hollywood frequently treats as little more than a scenarist, someone who offers interesting premises, but little else. The constant criticism of movies adapted from Dick's novels and short stories, with perhaps the exception of Blade Runner (1982), is that they don't fully explore his themes. The same is certainly true of Paycheck, which milks its premise for the first half, but then largely drops it in favor of action sequence after action sequence.
The story takes place in the near future. Ben Affleck stars as Michael Jennings, a shady freelance engineer who specializes in taking apart other people's designs and reworking them for the competition. He's brilliant, but he's just in it for the money (hence, the title). He works his jobs for a couple of weeks and then allows his memory of that time to be erased, which protects both him and his employer.
All is well for Jennings until he decides to take a job from Rethrick (Aaron Eckhart), the billionaire owner of a huge and sinister corporation called Allcom. They're working an a project of enormous importance that involves secret military technology, and Jennings ends up giving three years of his life to it. He is promised stock options worth $90 million when he's done, but after his mind is erased and he goes in to collect his rewards, he finds that he has forfeited the stock options and instead sent himself a manila envelop with 19 ordinary items—a lighter, a bus pass, a paperclip, a pack of cigarettes, sunglasses, and so forth.
Thus, without any memory of the previous three years, the mystery is established: During that time, what did Jennings do and why did he make the seemingly crazy decision to refuse his big paycheck? The answer to that question is slowly revealed as Jennings finds himself being pursued by both the FBI, who wants to question him about his involvement in a project involving stolen military technology, and by Allcom's goons, who just want him dead. Either way, Jennings knows he was involved in something big. The twist is that Jennings figures out that each of the 19 items he sent himself has a function in keeping him alive and out of the hands of the feds. But, how would he know exactly which items would help him? What at first plays like ridiculous coincidence turns out the be the key to what his project was.
Jennings also learns that he had a love interest in Rachel Porter (Uma Thurman), a biologist who also works for Allcom and becomes his partner in figuring out what happened. Their three years together have been wiped from Jennings' mind, and credit should be given that the movie develops some genuine pathos in the fact that Rachel remembers everything while Jennings is left only with photographs and video of himself happily in love. We are left with the question, does love still exist if someone can't remember it?
Most of this takes place during Paycheck's first hour, which is by far its best because it plays with intriguing science fiction themes of memory, technology, and the power of both to reveal and possibly distort the future. But, the last third of the movie bogs down into a series of action setpieces that quickly become tiresome and redundant. A lengthy motorcycle chase has a few good moments, but nothing compared to the over-the-top intensity of what Woo brought to a similar chase in Mission: Impossible 2. The movie is punched home with a lot of big explosions and some martial-arts derring-do, none of which looks or feels new or particularly exciting. John Woo may have been behind the camera, but by the end the movie it feels like someone else was pulling the strings.

Adair Solar
Phoenix Solar Installation Company
May 20
When communities come together to support one another, that's powerful stuff. When you add solar power into the mix, the sky is the limit. Such is the case with the group of New Mexico students who joined up with Conscious Journeys and decided to hop over to Tibet to install solar panels at a medical clinic there, where there's no doubt the power generated will go to the greatest good for all.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "A team of students from San Juan College (New Mexico) are planning a photovoltaic (PV) installation at a medical clinic in the town of Sihurong, located on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau." The Chronicle continues, "The PV installation will provide electricity for lights and necessary equipment in the clinic. The students, along with solar engineer Mike Sullivan and SJU assistant professor of English Chris Strouthopoulos, will spend several weeks in the area. The students will learn about solar design and engineering in addition to undertaking cultural activities like staying with locals, visiting monasteries, and trekking in the mountains."
Typically when you think of solar panel installations, your mind produces images of residential areas and perhaps business buildings equipped with rooftop solar panel installations put there to provide energy to those fortunate enough to live where solar energy is affordable. You may have to retrain your brain, because this is the third solar energy story we've blogged about this year that involves third-world regions receiving solar energy in some way. There were the schools powered by Evans Wadongo in Kenya, then the homes in South Africa that generated clean water through homemade rooftop solar cleaning mechanisms, and now this. All made possible by the sun, though this little array in Tibet is the first "professional grade" solar install we've written about in such instances!
But the inspiration shouldn't be left on the page, nor should it end with the college students who brought the panels to Tibet. The "solar bug" needs to catch on more in America, and it's our hope at Adair Solar Company in Mesa that a story like this one will inspire someone in the US who thinks that solar panels are not affordable to rethink their stance and call their local solar panel company.
If you're ready to take that plunge and you are beginning to understand that solar energy is NOW, not later, give us a call. We'll have an educated and experienced solar technician come out and discuss your solar options with you. From solar water heaters in Phoenix to ways to stop wasting energy like radiant barrier insulation, Adair Solar has solutions for you and your home.

Comments about Harry & David Pick 4 Conserves:
We used to purchase the plum conserves at our local Harry an David store, and since the store closed, we haven't had it in years. I just received the 4 jars of plum conserves that we ordered online to take advantage of free shipping, and they are even better than I remembered. The jam is not too sweet, and tastes better than homemade. I wouldn't even think it is plum jam, it tastes like something more exotic, like blackcurrant. If you prefer your jam not overly sweet, this is truly the best you can find.
Service and delivery comments:
Perfectly packaged and received within a few days.

Great on toast, bagels, muffins and can add alot of zing to a boring sugar cookie.Strawberry rhubarb is great with almond butter on white bread too!Hope my family sends me another gift set this year?
Comments about Harry & David Pick 4 Conserves:
I've only had the plum conserves so far, but I think they're more delicious than any food has a right to be! As the other reviewer pointed out, they don't contain chunks of whole fruit -- but it's real fruit in there, just cooked into a smooth paste. Great for spreading, and it means you get the same intense flavor in every drop. I wouldn't use these for PB&J sandwiches (where I prefer a chunkier consistency), but they're perfect on toast, and would be a great ingredient in sauces, marinades, etc. The flavor is tangy and robust, not ultra-sweet.
Best Uses
Comments about Harry & David Pick 4 Conserves:
The preserves themselves were delicious. However, the jar was sealed so tightly that it took 3 people to open it. I bought two jars and both were too tightly sealed. The preserves were actually for my parents who are very old and they were upset they couldn't open the jars. Luckily I was still there and was able to help them open them. Not friendly jars for older folks with little to no strenth or finger grips left.

Comments about Harry & David Pick 4 Conserves:
I have been a loyal Harry and David fan over the years. My father, especially, enjoyed the conserves spreads. So to brighten up his latest hospital stay I purchased some conserves for him as special treat. However, this purchase was very disappointing. In the strawberry rhubarb jar, there were NO strawberry pieces. I was shocked! There were only a few pieces of rhubarb in a product promoted as having 60% fruit. The remaining product was like a thickened syrup. This was so contrary to what I had purchased in the past. What has happened?? Sadly, this will be my last purchase from Harry and David. :(

Clarifying Lotion 3
Helps clear away pollution, excess oil, dulling flakes for clear, glowing skin. Helps block a blemish. Purifies pores to look cleaner, smaller. Skin grows stronger, stays clearer, healthier. Dermatologist-reformulated to be comfortable, non-drying.
See what our Insiders say:
A simple daily plan
Clinique's 3-step skin care system creates a simple daily plan to effectively cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize your skin. As a career single mom I do not take the time to care for my skin like I should, so I was very excited to add the 3-step routine to my mornings.
Being a skin type III, I start with the Liquid Facial Soap/oily skin formula, which requires a small amount to lather up and cleanse your face. The effect was very refreshing although I do not like the smell. Next I use the combination oily Clarifying Lotion 3 to exfoliate. I experienced a slight burning sensation the first time I used it, but not anytime after that. Finally, the last step is to moisturize with Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. I love the name and I love the product as my skin just drinks up the moisturizer. After 15 consecutive days, my skin is fresher and softer as it is getting needed care from three great Clinique products.

Bowie, Maryland resident Beverly Berndt is a respected Unificationist, a 40-year member of the Unification Church, a medical missionary to West Africa, an elementary school teacher, a Sunday-School superintendent, and a local activist for Lovin Life Ministries in Maryland. She and husband Randy Berndt were assigned to be missionaries to Gambia, a small country in West Africa in 1996. The Berndts began regular visits to their assigned country in 1997. From 1999, Beverly Berndt began taking her daughter with her to teach practical skills and to do citizen-to-citizen diplomacy.
On Oct. 7, 2011 she was featured in the Bowie Patch, a community-news web site edited by Josh Flynn, and honored on Oct, 10, 2011 as Greatest Person of Day by the Huffington Post.com. See http://bowie.patch.com/articles/local-teachers-passion-for-service-makes-global-impact#photo-8015683 Reprinted courtesy of the Bowie Patch. Photos are courtesy of Alysia Flynn.
Local Teacher's Passion for Service Makes Global Impact
By Josh Flynn
When Bowie resident Beverly Berndt took her oldest daughter on a service trip to the tiny country of Gambia in 1999, she never imagined the impact that experience would have on her, those who knew her in the states and countless communities across the country.
I was amazed to see how much it impacted her, and how much she really gained an appreciation for the value of relationships," Berndt said of her daughter. "A lot of kids are just plugged into their electronics, relationships are falling by the wayside.
Berndt started working with groups in Gambia with that first trip in 1999, then began bringing small groups to Gambia in 2007 for three weeks at a time.
Its really good exposure for American young people, for anybody really, said Berndt.
One of the young people who traveled to Gambia with the group in the past is Bowie native Abby Wojcik, who was impressed and inspired by Berndts demeanor and dedication for service.
Her passion for helping others really drives everything else she does," Wojcik said. "The way she helps others and never expects anything in return is one of a kind.
Wojick also described how comfortable Berndt seemed with the people in Gambia, explaining how Berndt seemed like a local, seamlessly integrating with daily life in the country.
She doesnt live a materialistic or lavish lifestyle, so she easily fit in. She has that stop-and-smell-the-roses-type of attitude, she said.
Berndt, who lives in Bowie, teaches sixth grade classes and algebra to high school students at New Hope Academy in Landover Hills, where shes been since the school opened 21 years ago. She also tutors, helps with the youth ministry at her church, and is currently housing four foreign exchange students, some of whom are from The Gambia.
Since Berndt began organizing and going on the trips, her drive has inspired many others to take on similar projects with the guidance she has provided over the years, and she is still contributing to the progress of those programs.
In The Gambia, elementary school is free, but middle and high school tuition is roughly $75 to $100 a year. While this seems like a minor fee for schooling, many families in Gambia cant afford it. Berndt started a program through New Hope Academy to provide scholarships to Gambian students. More than 450 have been awarded in the past decade.
Another organization that started because of Berndts work is Side by Side, which started a nursing school that now houses 40 children. That, too, is running out of money to keep going. Berndt is working on a plan to help pay teachers and other employees to keep it afloat.
Finally, the annual summer program is still running strong. It is what Berndt describes as the ultimate peace-keeping mission." The program is open to anybody over the age of 17 who wants to have an amazing experience and stay in Gambia for more than three weeks.
One year at the summer program, two imams from the area came to talk to the group about their beliefs on marriage and family. To the surprise of those on the trip, they had many of the same underlying values as the young Americans.
Though that was the only time Berndt met the imams, she got an e-mail from one of them right after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. He expressed his condolences, saying that the attacks in no way represented Islam and he wanted to make sure Berndt and her family were OK.
"All this kind of outpouring of heart to decry the situation that happened. And I thought, Wow, I had only met him at this conference,' then I realized that I was the face of America to him, she said.
Berndt believes the kids that go on the trips to Gambia are really like ambassadors from America.
They are representing the United States, so that the kids that we meetwhich we interact with a lotwill never be involved in the radical Islam because they know people from other places who are good people.
I feel like thats really the most important byproduct that I wasnt really thinking about at the time," she said. "We really make lasting relationships with the people there.
Because of Berndt's inspiring work, she has been selected as the "Greatest Person of the Day" by Huffington Post.
