Insane reporting
May 31, 2005
16 People were arrested for their participation in a peaceful protest in Sundial, West Virginia today. Residents of the Coal River Valley are fighting for the very lives of their children, whose Elementary School is under attack from the callous Mountaintop Removal mining operations of Massey Energy. Coal dust from a coal prep plant only 150 feet from the school enters through air intake vents, causing asthma and other respiratory problems, and coating everything with a toxic black powder. There are currently 228 students at Marsh Fork Elementary School. One student reported that when it rained a plastic covering was put over the drinking fountain so that they did not drink from it, but nothing is being done to protect these students from toxic air.
A leaking coal sludge dam containing 2.8 Billion Gallons of toxic waste-- laden with mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and other toxins and heavy metals-- is only 400 yards from the elementary school and could burst at any minute killing everyone in its path, and wreaking havoc for hundreds of miles downstream.

5 local residents, including parents and grandparents of children attending the Elementary School solemnly crossed a bridge onto Massey property, attempting to deliver a list of demands to officials, and were arreseted. Then, waves of supporters, in a beautiful act of solidarity, followed across the bridge with the same list of demands.

Those arrested were Amy Wendell, 30, Asheville, N.C.; Inez Gallimore, 82, Naoma; Patricia Feeney, 22, Chelsea, Ala.; Mary O'Farrell, 56, Charleston; Janice Nease, 68, Poca; Debra Jarrell, 46, Rock Creek; Constance Sisk, 19, Naoma; Jordan Freeman, 21, Naoma; Brian Bernhardt, 22, Annandale, Va.; Katie Clark, 20, Annandale, Va.; Larry Gibson, 59, Dawes; Zach Noel, 22, Florida, Mass.; Shane Andrews, no age available, Raleigh, N.C.; John Johnson, 34, Knoxville, Tenn.; Abigail Singer, 25, Knoxville, Tenn.; Robert Russo, 23, Asheville, N.C.
Your generous contribution is Urgently Needeed and Greatly Appreciated! This is an urgent issue, because, as Ed Wiley, grandfather of a Marsh Fork Elementary student explained, "What Massey Energy is doing to these children and this community is nothing short of terrorism. The kids live in fear, but we shouldn't let Massey drive us out of our homeland. We should have the same rights as any other American citizen."

Massey Energy owns Goals Coal Company, which operates a coal preparation plant, loading silo, and coal sludge impoundment (essentially a toxic waste storage facility) pointed directly at the K-5th grade school. There is also a 1,849-acre strip and mountaintop removal site directly above the sludge dam.
At the rally at the same site on Tuesday, May 24, two Coal River Valley residents were arrested when they refused to leave Massey premises. They had a list of demands to present to the plant superintendent, but were refused admittance.
The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) held a public hearing Thursday, May 26, at 6:00 p.m. at the school in Sundial. At the hearing, the DEP allowed the residents, many of whom were elderly and in poor health, only two minutes each to voice their concerns over the silo and also over the renewal of Massey's permit to operate the waste facility, a 2.8 billion-gallon earthen dam whose base is 400 yards from school grounds. Many participants in the Mountain Justice campaign also spoke passionately in support of the students and against the prep-plant and sludge dam. Despite residents' earlier protests, in 2004 the DEP approved Massey's permit to operate a 1,849-acre mountaintop removal site around the waste facility above the school.
Mountain Justice (MJ) seeks to add to the growing anti-MTR citizens movement. Specifically MJ demands an abolition of MTR, steep slope strip mining and all other forms of surface mining for coal. We want to protect the cultural and natural heritage of the Appalachia coal fields. We want to contribute with grassroots organizing, public education, nonviolent civil disobedience and other forms of citizen action.
Historically coal companies have engaged in violence and property destruction when faced with citizen opposition to their activities. MJ is committed to nonviolence and will not be engaged in property destruction

State Police arrest 16 at Massey site
WHITESVILLE, W.Va. (AP) -- State Police arrested 16 people Tuesday and cited them for trespassing at Massey Energy's Goals Coal processing facility.
The 16 were part of about 150 environmentalists protesting at the plant, said Sgt. Wayne Vessels.
The group wants Massey to close the preparation plant, which is adjacent to Marsh Fork Elementary School; clean up the school or build a new one in their community; withdraw an application for a second coal loading silo behind the school; and halt blasting operations near their homes.
The protesters marched from the elementary school to the plant and crossed onto Massey property.
"They were warned several times by the security guys from the Massey headquarters. Of course, we had our guys there. We asked them to please step back. They had a list of demands to present. They went ahead and presented their list of demands, and they refused to leave,'' Vessels said.
The 16 were handcuffed and taken to the Whitesville State Police detachment, where they were given citations and released, Vessels said. Vessels did not have a list of names, but said one woman was 80 years old, one was from Alabama, another from Tucson, Ariz., and some were local residents.
Among those 16 people was Debbie Jarrell, 46, of Rock Creek, whose 10-year-old granddaughter attends the school. Jarrell was concerned about Massey's plans to build the second silo near the school.
"I don't understand how anyone in their right mind could even bring that to the table, to think about being that close to the kids,'' she said. "It looms over top of this elementary school, and they're wanting another one.
"I want the kids to have a safe environment to learn in.''
A Massey spokesperson did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment on Tuesday.

News-Standard (New York) Mountaintop Removal Protests Continue
Jun 1 - For the second time in as many weeks, activists and concerned citizens rallied yesterday outside a West Virginia coal processing facility to protest the actions of a company that conducts a highly profitable form of strip mining increasingly recognized as being irrevocably damaging to the environment.
The protesters demanded that the company, Massey Energy, cease operations at a facility near an elementary school in Sundial, WV and either pay to clean the school grounds or fund the construction of a new one.
Police estimated the crowd at around 150 people, sixteen of whom they arrested for trespassing. Two people were arrested at a similar protest last Tuesday.
The plant, called Goals Coal, processes, stores and handles coal and coal sludge. Activists term it a "toxic waste storage facility" and say they are committed to continuing the protests until Massey and the state act to clean the area and put an end to mountaintop removal mining operations near the town. They are also seeking to halt plans for the construction of a second storage silo on the same site
As many coal extraction companies in the Appalachian and Ohio valleys do, Massey operates a nearby 1,849-acre mountaintop removal strip mine. The mining technique is coming under increasing scrutiny as environmentalists and scientists question the environmental impact of removing large tracts of mountain and forest to extract the minerals inside. The companies literally raze the mountaintops and push the rubble into the nearby valleys, often burying streams in the process. It is estimated that 500 square miles of forested mountains have been denuded permanently in the Ohio Valley area alone.
Headquartered in Richmond, VA, Massey Energy is the nation's fourth largest coal producing company, according to a corporate press release. --Brendan Coyne

State police arrest more anti-mountain top removalprotestors at a coal preparation plant in Raleigh County Story by Jessica Quast Email
About 100 people gathered for a rally in front of MasseyEnergy's Goal Coal Company this afternoon.
This is the second rally and the second time protestors were arrested in front of the same plant in two weeks.
They say coal companies are stealing Appalachia... and they want your attention to stop Mountain Top Removal.... And some are prepared to march, protest, and yes even get arrested for their cause.
The protestors want Massey to close the preparation plant and clean up Marsh Fork Elementary school.
They also want Massey to stop blasting operations near their homes.
In all 16 people were arrested for trespassing.
Some are people living in Marsh Fork and surrounding areas.
Others are members of Mountain Justice- a grassroot group of young adults from the Appalachia region.
This was not a violent protest.
But members of MJ also say this will not be the last rally.
In fact, members tell me they plan to spend this summer making waves... fighting to save the mountains.

I will probably still use this item, however I like some other on this site thought that this "machine" was made of plastic or lucite, not a simple cardboard box. Pretty pricey for the quality.

The 1 item college student would want
By Robin
from Redands, CA
I have 2 college boys and another one that is older and on his own. I kid with them that I don't have any more money, THEY forgot to water the money tree, and what they need is a money machine (which they thought was me!). when i saw this in the catalog I knew it would be a big hit. When my boys opened it and started pulling out the money they could not believe it. lots of laughter and joyful moments this Christmas because of the inventive way to give them money. Cost was more than i would usually spend, especially with the shipping, but well worth the joy of the boys opening it up.
Great Gift
By Helen
from St Louis, MO
I was a little skeptical when I ordered this item but when I received it I was convinced that I should have ordered more for future gifts. I think my 12 year old grandson is going to get a big laugh out of pulling out $50 one dollar bills. He will probably think he has struck gold.I will probably order more in the near future.

While it isn't rocket science, nor a diamond bracelet, this is a great conversation starter, and the grandkids loved pulling the money out. I'm grateful to the inventor1

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
If you've had a lumpectomy| or a quadrantectomy|, you will be advised to have radiotherapy to the breast afterwards.
If your cancer specialist thinks the risk of local recurrence is high, you may have an extra dose to the area of the breast where the cancer was (booster dose).
You'll usually start radiotherapy about four weeks after your surgery unless you're having chemotherapy|. Radiotherapy is usually given after chemotherapy has finished.
If there's an increased risk of your cancer coming back in the same area after a mastectomy|, your cancer specialist will advise you to have radiotherapy to the chest. They may advise this if:
If the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes| but only some were removed, you'll usually have radiotherapy to the remaining nodes. If you had all the lymph nodes in your armpit removed|, you may not need to have radiotherapy as well.
Radiotherapy can be internal or external. The following section is about external radiotherapy. We have more information about the different types of radiotherap|y.
The treatment is given in the hospital radiotherapy department as a series of short daily sessions. Each treatment takes 10–15 minutes and they are usually given Monday–Friday with a rest at the weekend. Your doctor will discuss the treatment and possible side effects with you.
A course of radiotherapy for breast cancer is usually given for three weeks. Some women may be given radiotherapy in different ways or over a different timescale as part of a clinical trial|.
Radiotherapy is normally given to the whole breast area. Depending on the risk of the cancer coming back, it may also be given to areas of lymph nodes close to the breast. This includes the armpit and the area just above the collarbone and by the breastbone (sternum).
External radiotherapy does not make you radioactive and it is safe for you to be with other people, including children, after your treatment.
To make sure that the radiotherapy is as effective as possible, it has to be carefully planned. Planning ensures the radiotherapy rays are aimed precisely at the cancer and cause the least possible damage to the surrounding healthy tissues. The treatment is planned by a specialist doctor known as a clinical oncologist. Planning is important and may take a few visits.
On your first visit to the radiotherapy department, you'll have a CT (computerised tomography) scan taken of the area to be treated. A CT scan takes a series of x-rays which build up a three dimensional picture of the area. At the same time therapy radiographers will take measurements from you which are needed for treatment planning. This session will usually take about 45–60 minutes.
Sometimes you may also need to go to the hospital's scanning department to have an MRI scan. This uses powerful magnetic fields to give a detailed picture of part of your body, which can give additional useful information.
The radiographer's measurements and the information from the scans are fed into the radiotherapy planning computer to help your doctors plan your treatment more precisely.
Marks may be drawn on your skin to help the radiographer, who gives you your treatment, to position you accurately and to show where the rays are to be directed. These marks must stay visible throughout your treatment, but they can be washed off once your course of treatment is over. At the beginning of your radiotherapy you'll be told how to look after the skin in the area to be treated.
You'll need to be able to position your arm so that the radiotherapy machine can give the treatment effectively. Sometimes your muscles and shoulder joint may feel stiff. If you can't move your shoulder normally, it may be painful or difficult to give the treatment. A physiotherapist may teach you some exercises to make the position for treatment more comfortable.
At the beginning of each session of radiotherapy, the radiographer will position you carefully on the couch and make sure you are comfortable. During your treatment you'll be alone in the room, but you can talk to the radiographer who will watch you from the next room. Radiotherapy is not painful, but you will have to lie still for a few minutes during the treatment.
Positioning the radiotherapy machine View a large version of the diagram showing the positioning of the radiotherapy machine|
Radiotherapy to the breast sometimes causes side effects such as:
You may develop side effects over the course of your treatment. These usually disappear gradually over a few weeks or months after treatment is finished. Your doctor, nurse or radiographer will discuss this with you so you know what to expect. Let them know about any side effects you have during or after treatment. There are often things that can be done to help.
We have more information about possible long-term side effects of radiotherapy| for breast cancer.

Actress Sreelatha in penury, looks for help
Thiruvananthapuram, July 30 (IANS) Malayalam actress Sreelatha Menon, known for films like "Perumthachan" and "Kauthuka", is suffering from a rare bone disease but there is no one to look after her three children and they have been asked to vacate their rented house.
"We live in a rented home here and we have been asked to move out. I have no clue where to go with my three children," said the bed-ridden former Miss Trivandrum (1985) who has acted in more than 20 films and more than 200 TV serials.
Sreelatha, whose husband passed away four years back, added: "We have no money to buy even food. I am not a member of any of actor's bodies."
Her illness and financial crunch have affected her three sons' studies. They have not gone to school for last few months because they do not have enough money to pay the fees.
Arjun, who is the eldest and studying in plus-2, said: "None of us have been to school for a while now. I, being the eldest, am the only one in a position to go for work, but if I go, there will be none to look after my ailing mother."
His two younger siblings are in class V and pre-school.
Meanwhile, Sreelatha, who is at home without any medical assistance, Monday received Rs.100,000 from the state chief minister's relief fund.
Kerala Cinema Minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar's office told IANS that in the past also they have extended help to her.
"Now that her condition has worsened, we have got in touch with the film actors' body (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists). I am told that the state health minister will be doing something," said the office of actor-turned minister Kumar.

Steel Dynamics gifts athletics
ARC will take company and founder's name
Feb. 18, 2010--In recognition of a major gift from the Steel Dynamics Foundation, Trine University's new field house with indoor track will take the name Keith E. Busse/Steel Dynamics Athletic and Recreation Center in May.
Keith Busse is a Trine trustee and the founder of Steel Dynamics Inc., the nation's fifth-largest producer of carbon steel products. Busse has earned some of the most prestigious awards given by the iron and steel industries, and the highest civilian award given by the Indiana Governor—the Sagamore of the Wabash.
Busse founded the Fortune 500 company Steel Dynamics in 1993 in Butler, Ind., setting an international record by building the plant in 14 months with only $280 million. The start-up business surpassed any previous steelmaking effort anywhere in the world.
He subsequently built plants in Columbia City and Pittsboro, Ind. and then purchased the $1.1 billion Omnisource Corp., one of the nation's largest processors of metallic scrap. Omnisource is included in the S&P mid-cap 400 and NASDAQ 100 indexes. It was named Most Admired Company by Fortune magazine in 2008.
In addition to receiving the top industry and state awards, Busse is a nationally recognized entrepreneur. He was listed in Business Week in 1997 as one of the country's top 10 entrepreneurs. He was a national finalist in Ernst & Young's Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year in 1997 and Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Manufacturing in 2003.
He chairs the National Kidney Foundation Cadillac Open and serves on the board for Junior Achievement and the Community Foundation, all in Fort Wayne; and serves on the board for Northeast Indiana Corporate Council and Regional Economic Development.
A member of the Trine board of trustees since 2003, Busse chairs the Committee on Trustees and also serves on the executive committee. His company provided the steel for the university's new University Center and for the Fred Zollner Athletic Stadium now under construction. He has contributed regularly to the Annual Fund for scholarships, equipment, and campus improvements.
"Once again, Keith has demonstrated his commitment to education and to Trine University," said President Earl D. Brooks II. "Enhancing our athletic facilities strengthens our ability to provide comprehensive services to students."

Reston, Va. -- Despite the backdrop of continued economic uncertainty, 2012 was a strong year for retail e-commerce, according to comScore's "2013 U.S. Digital Future in Focus" report. Throughout the year, growth rates versus the prior year remained in the mid-teens to outpace growth at brick-and-mortar retail by a factor of approximately four times.
Total U.S. retail and travel-related e-commerce reached $289 billion in 2012, up 13% from the previous year, according to the report. While e-commerce continues to gain share from traditional retail, the first signs of mobile commerce affecting the digital commerce landscape are starting to emerge. In fourth quarter 2012, comScore estimates that m-commerce transactions (from both smartphones and tablets) now represent approximately 11% of corresponding e-commerce spending.

And so it begins…
Posted: August 24, 2010 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: blogging, garnet, medical school, mining, mining garnet, st. maarten, therapeurtic, true blood Leave a comment »Six months ago, if you asked me anything about a blog or the blog world, I would have stared at you blankly as if you had just spoken French. Even though I started following a few blogs and visiting tons of others back in May, I'm still pretty much flying blind here with the whole actual designing/writing/commenting thing. I was introduced to blogs when a friend moved down to St. Maarten for medical school, and his girlfriend decided to document their adventures down there. I thought the idea was fantastic and I found myself looking forward to her stories and posts. It seemed like such a fabulous way to live vicariously through other people. So I read her blog and found some others and those led me to some others, and before I knew it, I was looking forward to new posts more than my weekly TV shows (except you, True Blood, you're still my #1!).
I honestly never even considered starting my own little blogspace. I like to write, but I'm not exceptionally good at it by any means. I was perfectly content just reading other people's blogs and enjoyed agreeing with, praying for and just plain hating some of the things that people said. I find they help me immensely at times, especially when I don't know how to put the way I am feeling into words. Reading other people's views and opinions is fascinating and helps me really identify how I truly feel on issues. Essentially, other people help me know myself better.
But after one particularly long, kind of shitty and super eventful day, I found myself wanting to blog. Wanting to say my piece and put it out there. Use writing as a therapeutic tool and not just something reserved for research papers. This one day was packed with announcements of pregnancies, fights with my best friend, finding out a girl whose been like a sister to me for 12 years is moving 3,000 miles away, work meetings and school payment plans, feelings of failure and a ten minute phone call with my love, MC, that made me remember it was all going to be ok. I felt myself yearning for a better way to process my thoughts. I wanted to express how sad, let down, excited, motivated, tired, anxious, blessed I felt. So, I chose action over contemplation and here we are.

In a CFL, electric current flows through a gas-filled tube, where mercury atoms become excited and release photons. The photons hit the tube's phosphor coating and it fluoresces, or emits visible light. Swap tungsten metal filament, and the filament produces light by glowing white-hot.
Most of the energy used by an incandescent bulb is shed as heat, rather than light, unlike a CFL, which remains cool to the touch. And compact fluorescent bulbs use less than a third of the energy of incandescent ones, and last ten times longer.
While CFLs cost more than incandescents, the price is quickly recouped by the reduction in your energy bill. Plus, each CFL can prevent 450 pounds of power-plant emissions over its lifetime. CFLs now come in a variety of styles and brightness and have coatings that create warmer and whiter light suitable for nearly every room in the house.

In Montreal, an elementary school teacher dies abruptly. Having learned of the incident in the newspaper, Bachir Lazhar (Mohamed Fellag), a 55-year-old Algerian immigrant, goes to the school to offer his services as a substitute teacher. Quickly hired to replace the deceased, he finds himself in an establishment in crisis, while going through his own personal tragedy. The cultural gap between Bachir and his class is made immediately apparent when he gives them a dictation exercise that is beyond their reach. Little by little, Bachir learns to better know this group of shaken but endearing kids, among whom are Alice and Simon, two charismatic pupils particularly affected by their teacher's death. While the class goes through the healing process, nobody in the school is aware of Bachir's painful past; nor do they suspect that he is at risk of being deported at any moment.

Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, The Bully Project is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of Americas bullying crisis. The Bully Project follows five kids and families over the course of a school year. Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals offices, the film offers insight into the often cruel world of the lives of bullied children. As teachers, administrators, kids and parents struggle to find answers, The Bully Project examines the dire consequences of bullying through the testimony of strong and courageous youth. Through the power of their stories, the film aims to be a catalyst for change in the way we deal with bullying as parents, teachers, children and society as a whole.
Da Trailer Right Here
Despite the insurgent rallying cry implied by its title, Love Free or Die is a probing, even-handed account of the experience of Gene Robinson, the first openly gay, non-celibate bishop ordained in a major Christian denomination. Examining the ripple effect of his actions both in the U.S. Episcopal Church and the 78 million-strong worldwide Anglican network to which it belongs, Macky Alston's engrossing documentary sheds light on a significant chapter in the broader struggle for LGBT rights.
With the backing of progressive clergy, Robinson's committed stance led to a successful referendum at the 2009 Episcopal Convention in Anaheim, California, in favor of ordaining gay and lesbian clergy and of consecrating the unions of same-sex couples in states where gay marriage has been legalized. This momentous step was predicted to widen a growing schism within the Anglican Communion.
One perplexing weakness of Alston's film is its shortage of reactions to that milestone decision from the global community, instead confining coverage to the positive breakthrough it represented for gays and lesbians. That focus, however, fits with the documentary's mission to debunk ingrained notions that homosexuality and faith are fundamentally incompatible. The film reflects generally on divisive attitudes toward homosexuality in every religion, and the stigma faced by LGBT individuals in many faith-based organizations.
Much of the groundwork for this study is built around Robinson's exclusion by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 2008 from the Lambeth Conference, the global Anglican huddle held every ten years. While British clergy were forbidden from allowing Robinson to preach in their churches, one activist priest, Giles Fraser, ignored that ban. Robinson's sermon about fear, interrupted by a heckling biker in the congregation calling him a heretic, is among the film's more emotional moments.
Ordained as a New Hampshire bishop in 2003, Robinson was chosen to deliver the invocation in 2009 at the kickoff to President Barack Obama's inauguration weekend. Alston touches only briefly on the speculation that the incoming White House administration was throwing a bone to the LGBT community after choosing evangelical pastor Rick Warren, a vocal opponent of gay rights, to pray at the inaugural event.
Robinson has been out since the 1980s, following the end of his heterosexual marriage and birth of two daughters. He has been in a committed relationship since 1987 with Mark Andrew, which was sanctified in recent years in both civil and religious ceremonies. (Robinson's new book, "God Believes in Love: Straight Talk About Gay Marriage," will be published by Knopf this spring.) The film spends time depicting their family life - the solid bond with Robinson's daughters, the love and support of his parents, the reported ongoing friendship with his former spouse. This reinforces the observation that for many Americans, first-hand acquaintance with LGBT people is helping to shift public perception.
On the flipside, Alston touches repeatedly on the fragmentation of opinion within the church, where even some of Robinson's close friends have chosen to align themselves with the more conservative Anglican base.
There are affecting insights from the Rev. Eleanor McLaughlin over the conflict instilled in her by maintaining her devotion to the church while living with another woman. And retired Utah bishop Otis Charles speaks passionately at the Episcopal Convention on his years of enforced silence about the man who is now his legal husband. These stirring voices give Love Free or Die considerable human-interest weight, irrespective of one's religious beliefs.
The film concludes with the legal marriage of McLaughlin and her partner (at nuptials celebrated by Robinson) and the election in 2009 as Los Angeles bishop of Mary Glasspool, the first openly partnered lesbian to be ordained. The fact that her ordination ended Robinson's long solo status as the only openly gay person in that position is treated less as a victory than as part of an ongoing quest for freedom and justice.
While Alston's approach is conventional, his journalistic and biographical skills are solid. One of his more effective threads is tying the movement to consecrate gay clergy to the similarly stormy battle 30 years ago to ordain women. As the first woman in the Anglican Communion to become a bishop, Barbara Harris contributes some amusingly spiky, unfiltered commentary. Her outspokenness on sexism and discrimination within the church suggests she might make a terrific subject for her own documentary treatment.
John Steinbeck, who crisscrossed the country with his standard poodle and lived to write the tale (Travels with Charley), noted that "I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts."
That nuttiness - albeit safely couched in middle-age and upper-middle class comforts - is on display in Lawrence Kasdan's Darling Companion, a shambling and not exactly deep ensemble piece centered on a long-married couple (Diane Keaton, Kevin Kline) and the dog that comes into, and then out of, their lives.
Kline is Joseph Winter, a Denver surgeon with a thriving practice and an inability to put his work - and his ego, and his cellphone - aside. Keaton is Beth, his long-suffering, but also long-loving wife. They have a grown daughter, Grace (Elisabeth Moss). The nest is empty, and maybe the marriage is a little empty, too.
One day, Beth and Grace are driving, and Beth spies a huddle of fur and paws, off in the bushes by the shoulder of the road. Next thing you know, the Winters - over Joseph's protestations - have a new family member: Freeway. And that's not all - Grace, who's never had much luck with boyfriends, may have found one in the veterinarian, Sam (Jay Ali), who examines the dog.
And so Beth has someone to walk with, to lock eyes with, to amuse her while her husband is operating on slipped disks and sciatic nerves.
And then Joseph loses Freeway, on a run in the woods, by their big cabin in the Rockies. They are there to celebrate their daughter's engagement (yes, to Sam). Joseph's wacky sister, Penny (Dianne Wiest) is in attendance, with her tactless new beau (Richard Jenkins), and Penny's son, Bryan (Mark Duplass), who is Joseph's partner in the practice. And then there is the exotic Carmen (Ayelet Zurer), the Winters' caretaker. She's got a bit of the gypsy about her, and she has "visions" of where Freeway may have gone.
Family. Friends. Lovers. Dogs. It's a recipe for conflict, for liquor-catalyzed confessions, for honesty and hypocrisy - and for angst and tears, as Freeway stays missing, and missing, and missing some more.
It's fun to watch Keaton and Kline together, bickering and (of course) bonding all over again. They deem Jenkins' Russell an unworthy partner for Penny at first, but (of course) he proves himself otherwise. And how can Bryan not fall for Carmen and her strange, seductive ways?
Kasdan - who enjoys throwing large numbers of friends, family, and whole communities together (The Big Chill, Grand Canyon, Mumford) - lets his actors go about their work in a loose, improvisatory manner. No heavy lifting here, but everyone seems up for it. And up for yelling "Freeway!" loudly, and worriedly, into the trees.
Mickey Prohaska (Greg Kinnear) is a small-time insurance agent looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife (Lea Thompson) and escape the frigid Wisconsin weather. This self-proclaimed master of spin believes that salesmanship is about selling a story -- all he needs is a sucker willing to buy it. He hits pay dirt with a lonely retired farmer (Alan Arkin) who is sitting on something much bigger than an insurance commission. But Mickey's attempt to con the old man spins out of control when a nosy, unstable locksmith (Billy Crudup) with a volatile temper dramatically ups the stakes, trapping him in a madcap spiral of danger, deceit and double-crossing. Blending dark comedy and delirious Midwestern noir, THIN ICE reaches a breaking point that no one -- least of all Mickey Prohaska -- could ever see coming.
Take a gander at the trailer.
The white clouds swirled like comical mustaches finger painted by children onto sky blue construction paper. They reigned over the Nevada desert, curling off the tops of the hills that flowed into the floor of the topographical bowl we sped along. Me on two wheels, Brad on eight. We were on our way to witness the Annular Eclipse of 2012 from the comfort and solitude of Great Basin National Park, which hugs the Utah border in eastern Nevada and is really on the way to nowhere.
Brad's RV was loaded with telescopes, filters, food, and his two dogs. My Harley was loaded with not enough sunblock and me. We formed an unholy duet, bounding across eastern Oregon and into the state that offers access to more vices than the Internet. But the show we were coming for had to do with the veiling of the sun behind the moon-and it was happening in the sky, not in a casino.
Something that really helps keeps the DS going when more of you are enjoying the outdoors rather than the movies we play is income from the pre-show screen ads. That being said, I want to encourage you awesome film viewers to support the people who buy on screen ads from the DS. Please patronized these advertisers when you can and let them know you saw their ad on the DS screen. By doing this you are supporting the Darkside, even if you're not in for a film! Thanks!

Station Necklace
Very Nice
I received my station necklace in a very timely manner. I will say that it is a very nice piece with almost an antiqued look as it is not a bright yellow gold color. It can be dressed up (with the crystals) or worn very casual. The length is very versatile. The only negative thing I could say is that the crystal "stations" don't want to lay flat and flip over but it isn't a deal breaker. I would recommend this necklace and think anyone who purchased it would be very satisfied.
August 31, 2013
Fun necklace
I like the design, the crystals, and you can even double up the necklace around your neck.
February 1, 2013
Very Classy Necklace!
Prettier than I expected. Very good quality. Very well done combination of gold and Swarovski crystals. Not too dressy for daytime but classy enough for a dressy occasion!

Cardiac cycle
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2012) |
The cardiac cycle is a term referring to all or any of the events related to the flow or blood pressure that occurs from the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next.[1] The frequency of the cardiac cycle is described by the heart rate. Each beat of the heart involves five major stages. The first two stages, often considered together as the "ventricular filling" stage, involve the movement of blood from the atria into the ventricles. The next three stages involve the movement of blood from the ventricles to the pulmonary artery (in the case of the right ventricle) and the aorta (in the case of the left ventricle).[1]
The first stage, "early diastole," is when the semilunar valves close, the atrioventricular (AV) valves are open, and the whole heart is relaxed. The second stage, "atrial systole," is when the atrium contracts, and blood flows from atrium to the ventricle. The third stage, "isovolumic contraction" is when the ventricles begin to contract, the AV and semilunar valves close, and there is no change in volume. The fourth stage, "ventricular ejection," is when the ventricles are contracting and emptying, and the semilunar valves are open. During the fifth stage, "isovolumic relaxation time", pressure decreases, no blood enters the ventricles, the ventricles stop contracting and begin to relax, and the semilunar valves close due to the pressure of blood in the aorta.
Throughout the cardiac cycle, blood pressure increases and decreases. The cardiac cycle is coordinated by a series of electrical impulses that are produced by specialized heart cells found within the sinoatrial node and the atrioventricular node. The cardiac muscle is composed of myocytes which initiate their own contraction without the help of external nerves (with the exception of modifying the heart rate due to metabolic demand). Under normal circumstances, each cycle takes 0.8 seconds. [2]
Anatomical basis of the cardiac cycle[edit]
The heart is a four-chambered organ consisting of right and left halves. Two of the chambers, the left and right atria, are entry-points into the heart, while the other two chambers, the left and right ventricles, are responsible for contractions that send the blood through the circulation. The circulation is split into the pulmonary and systemic circulation. The role of the right ventricle is to pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries. The role of the left ventricle is to pump newly oxygenated blood to the body through the aorta.
Stages of the cardiac cycle[edit]
AV valves* | Semilunar valves† | Status of ventricles and atria | |
1. early diastole/joint diastole |
• whole heart is relaxed
• ventricles are expanding and filling (passive filling, ~80% of volume) |
2. atrial systole |
• atria contract and pump blood
• additional 10–40% filling of ventricles due to active contraction of atria[3] |
3. isovolumic ventricular contraction |
• ventricular myocytes begin to contract
• ventricle volume unchanged |
4. ventricular ejection |
• ventricles fully contract
• pump blood to rest of body |
5. Isovolumic ventricular relaxation |
• ventricles relax
• ventricle volume unchanged |
* AV (atrioventricular) valves:
† Semilunar valves:
Atrial systole[edit]
Atrial systole is the contraction of the heart muscle (myocardia) of the left and right atria. Normally, both atria contract at the same time. The term systole is synonymous with contraction (movement or shortening) of a muscle. Electrical systole is the electrical activity that stimulates the myocardium of the chambers of the heart to make them contract. This is soon followed by Mechanical systole, which is the mechanical contraction of the heart.
As the atria contract, the blood pressure in each atrium increases, forcing additional blood into the ventricles. The additional flow of blood is called atrial kick.
80% of the blood flows passively down to the ventricles, so the atria do not have to contract a great amount.[4]
Atrial kick is absent if there is loss of normal electrical conduction in the heart, such as during atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and complete heart block. Atrial kick is also different in character depending on the condition of the heart, such as stiff heart, which is found in patients with diastolic dysfunction.
Articular systole takes 0.1 seconds.[5]
Detection of atrial systole[edit]
Electrical systole of the atria begins with the onset of the P wave on the ECG. The wave of bipolarization (or depolarization) that stimulates both atria to contract at the same time is due to sinoatrial node which is located on the upper wall of the right atrium.the sinoatrial node can be detected by catheterization.
Ventricular systole[edit]
Ventricular systole is the contraction of the muscles (myocardia) of the left and right ventricles.
At the later part of the ejection phase, although the ventricular pressure falls below the aortic pressure, the aortic valve remains open because of the inertial energy of the ejected blood.[6]
The graph of aortic pressure throughout the cardiac cycle displays a small dip (the "incisure" or "dicrotic notch") which coincides with the aortic valve closure. The dip in the graph is immediately followed by a brief rise (the "dicrotic wave") then gradual decline. Just as the ventricles enter into diastole, the brief reversal of flow from the aorta back into the left ventricle causes the aortic valves to shut. This results in the slight increase in aortic pressure caused by the elastic recoil of the semilunar valves and aorta.[7][8][9]
The total volume of blood remaining in the ventricle just at the end of the ventricular contraction is called end-systolic volume (ESV).
Ventricular systole takes 0.3 seconds to complete.[10]
Detection of ventricular systole[edit]
Heart sounds[edit]
The closing of the mitral and tricuspid valves (known together as the atrioventricular valves) at the beginning of ventricular systole cause the first part of the "lubb-dubb" sound made by the heart as it beats. Formally, this sound is known as the First Heart Tone, or S1. This first heart tone is created by the closure of mitral and tricuspid valve and is actually a two component sound, M1, T1.
The second part of the "lub-dubb" (the Second Heart Tone, or S2), is caused by the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves at the end of ventricular systole. As the left ventricle empties, its pressure falls below the pressure in the aorta, and the aortic valve closes. Similarly, as the pressure in the right ventricle falls below the pressure in the pulmonary artery, the pulmonary valve closes. The second heart sound is also two components, A2 and P2. The aortic valve closes earlier than the pulmonary valve and they are audibly separated from each other in the second heart sound. This "splitting" of S2 is only audible during inhalation. However, some cardiac conduction abnormalities such as left bundle branch block (LBBB) allow the P2 sound to be heard before the A2 sound during expiration. With LBBB, inhalation brings A2 and P2 closer together where they cannot be audibly distinguished.
In an electrocardiogram, electrical systole of the ventricles begins at the beginning of the QRS complex.
Cardiac Diastole is the period of time when the heart relaxes after contraction in preparation for refilling with circulating blood. Ventricular diastole is when the ventricles are relaxing, while atrial diastole is when the atria are relaxing. Together they are known as complete cardiac diastole.
During ventricular diastole, the pressure in the (left and right) ventricles drops from the peak that it reaches in systole. When the pressure in the left ventricle drops to below the pressure in the left atrium, the mitral valve opens, and the left ventricle fills with blood that was accumulating in the left atrium. The isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) is the interval from the aortic component of the second heart sound, that is, closure of the aortic valve, to onset of filling by opening of the mitral valve.[11] Likewise, when the pressure in the right ventricle drops below that in the right atrium, the tricuspid valve opens, and the right ventricle fills with blood that was accumulating in the right atrium. During diastole the pressure within the left ventricle is lower than that in aorta, allowing blood to circulate in the heart itself via the coronary arteries.
Regulation of the cardiac cycle[edit]
Cardiac muscle has automaticity, which means that it is self-exciting. The muscle contractions are myogenic, or generated by the muscle cell itself. This is in contrast with skeletal muscle, which requires nervous stimuli (either conscious or reflex) for excitation. The heart's rhythmic contractions occur spontaneously, although the rate of contraction can be changed by nervous or hormonal influences. For example, the sympathetic nerve accelerates heart rate and the vagus nerve decelerates heart rate.
The rhythmic sequence of contractions is coordinated by the sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) nodes. The sinoatrial node, often known as the cardiac pacemaker, is located in the upper wall of the right atrium and is responsible for the wave of electrical stimulation that initiates atrial contraction by creating an action potential. Once the wave reaches the AV node, situated in the lower right atrium, it is delayed there before being conducted through the bundles of His and back up the Purkinje fibers, leading to a contraction of the ventricles. The delay at the AV node allows enough time for all of the blood in the atria to fill their respective ventricles. In the event of severe pathology, the AV node can also act as a pacemaker; this is usually not the case because their rate of spontaneous firing is considerably lower than that of the pacemaker cells in the SA node and hence is overridden.

Miami travel to Houston to take on the Texans |
Written by Tony Simmons | |
Sunday, 09 September 2012 | |
The Miami Dolphins begin the Joe Philbin era today as they travel to Houston to take on the Texans in a 1:00 kickoff at Reliant Stadium. This also begins the Ryan Tannehill era at quarterback for the Dolphins as well, and he and the Dolphins have a tough assignment. Houston is a popular pick to go to the Super Bowl out of the AFC, and they are a young, talented and very balanced football team. The biggest weakness for the Texans the last few years, their defense, turned into a huge plus for the Texans in 2011 with the addition of one DC Wade Phillips. He helped take the Texans to the 2nd ranked defense in the NFL in total defense and 4th in scoring defense. Offensively, Houston played a good portion of the 2011 season without their starting quarterback Matt Schaub, as he suffered a foot injury against the Tennessee Titans. Despite this, the Texans finishd 13th in total offense and feature All-Pro WR Andre Johnson and All-Pro RB Arian Foster. Foster is a game day decision in regards to if he will play, but SLB Brooks Reed is out. The Dolphins come in with MANY questions still, especially along the offensive line and at wide receiver. This is not something you want for a rookie starting at quarterback against one of the very best defenses in the NFL. Defensively the Dolphins are switching to a 4-3 defense and a few weeks ago, traded away talented but troubled CB Vontae Davis to Indianapolis. Now, a unit that was looked at as a strength now has questions as they struggled during the preseason. Also, who provide pass rush opposite All-Pro DE Cameron Wake. The Dolphins hope that rookie DE Olivier Vernon and 3rd year DE Jared Odrick can step up and provide the additional pass pressure that will be needed in this game today. Today once again begins a new era for the Dolphins. Can they pull of the upset against the Texans in Houston. As much as I hate to say it, I have seen nothing that leads me to think so, but I have no problems being wrong. Join myself, Henry and Rich tonight on Phinfever Radio as we discuss the game.
