Mail Time!
Let's go!
With Usain Bolt breaking his own world record in the 100m with a time of 9.58 sec this past weekend in Berlin, could we see the 9.00 second barrier being broken within our lifetime? How cool of a name is Usain Bolt? Pete S. (Twin Cities)
Thanks, Pete. This is the only question I am taking this week. I am not sure you could find a name more apropos for a sprinter. Wow. I watched the replay of Bolt's record. He is fast. I am not going to say that we won't see a sub-9.0 100 meters, but that is really fast. Will we see this in my lifetime? Probably not. However, I don't think sprinters are going to slow down any time soon.
Did you know the first sub-10.0 happened at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City? (Better known for the "Black Power" fists of Tommy Smith (Gold) and John Carlos (Bronze) 200 meter medal ceremony) Yep, it was American Jim Hines (9.95).
Usain Bolt broke the 200 m record by running a 19.19. He is the first to ever run sub- 19.30 and -19.20. Wow! What a performance in Berlin.
Okay. My brain has been working overtime this Summer. So, I decided to implore, trick, payoff one of the readers to take some questions. Without further adieu, straight out of Morgantown, West Virginia - Here is their new slogan to try and entice new families to this fine state.
Take it away … Chauncy.
Why don't you ever see the headline Psychic Wins Lottery? Caleb J. (Houston)
Because there is no such thing as a psychic. Remember Miss Cleo? However, for the benefit of those who believe in paranormal occurrences, I will try to shed some light on this one. Webster's defines psychic as, "sensitive to nonphysical or supernatural forces and influences: marked by extraordinary or mysterious sensitivity, perception, or understanding." It seems to me that a psychic uses their abilities to connect with the spirit world like John Edwards, or can give you vague generalities of what your future could be like fortune tellers. In the end, people using a psychic hear what they want to hear. However, if you still want to win a big Powerball Jackpot and live the rest of your life in luxury, I would recommend talking to a clairvoyant person. Webster's defines clairvoyance as, "the supernatural power of seeing objects or actions removed in space or time from natural viewing." Therefore clairvoyants are able to "look" into the future to see a specific event. Now you just gotta find one who can see those tumbling balls being taken out of that hopper. But if a clairvoyant could sneak a peak into the future, why would they tell you and not just do it themselves?
(I think that was well done. I am going to ease him in with a few more easy questions. So far, impressed, is the word.) -dd84
Why is a boxing ring square? Beth (Hackensack NJ)
Way back in the 17th century across the pond in England, where modern boxing began, things were a bit chaotic. There were basically no rules; just two guys, bare knuckled mind you, trying to beat the crap out of each other. Preventing the loser from running away the spectators created a circle or "ring" around the fighters. It wasn't until 1838 when things got a little more organized. The London Prize Ring rules were created, mostly to protect fighters from killing each other. The rules also defined that fights would take place in a 24 feet (7.3 m)-square stage surrounded by ropes. The term "boxing ring" just stuck around. It's a little more catchy than boxing square.
Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin? Charles R. (Marion, IL)
Zombies … duh.
(I would like to add that, if you don't have one of these kits in your home, your family is not really safe. Please, people, buy this kit, send me the money TODAY!.) -dd84
Why is it that rain drops but snow falls? Sven (St.LouisPark, MN)
Rain does fall. It falls from clouds to the ground (sometimes rain falls but gets blown back up into the cloud then freezes and falls back to the ground as hail). The National Weather Service records rainfall totals not raindrop totals. I think you are confused between the verb and noun forms of the word "drop."
What do you think Victoria's "secret" is? Captain Slacks (Rush City, MN)
I'll tell you what she's not keeping secret…hey-o! Have you seen the cleavage in those catalogs? Seriously, I think her secret is empowerment. Victoria's Secret turned "unmentionables" mentionable. It created high quality and fashionable products females could be proud of buying and wearing. Plus, it's great for males too, am I right?
(Okay, let's take the training wheels off; and give Chauncy the big bike. Here are a couple questions from me.)
Is 'happy' more interesting than 'sad'? This question has been bopping around my head for awhile now. I guess, in general, I equate struggle & strife as interesting and compelling, and content & pleasant as boring. I know this is a part of the form/style that dramatic storytelling has taken in the last few years, but is it also true in real life? DailyDouble84 (The Interwebs)
'Sad' is more interesting than 'happy' when we are observing it and not experiencing it personally. It is a defense mechanism, which we selfish humans follow consciously of, or not. Sad, tragic, depressing events will always be more interesting because we can say, "I may be _____, but at least I [am] not______," and we look for every detail of someone else's sadness. If we ourselves are suffering, we can find an example that is worse than what we are experiencing. Also, I believe being 'sad' has a far greater spectrum of emotions that can be interpreted than being 'happy.' The exception to all this may be sports. In sporting events, 'happy' is more interesting than 'sad.' This might be because the goal of most sporting events is victory over an opponent. In sports everyone loves a winner … and underdogs.
If you could bring one character to life from your favorite book, who would it be? This does not mean that you get to become this character; it just means they get to be inserted into modern day life. What is the book? Why the character? DD84
Gimli, son of Gloin, the dwarf from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, hands down. Not a dwarf in the sense of a human with a genetic defect causing their small stature, but a real dwarf that lives in caves, is skilled in the metallurgical arts, and has a propensity for mining. Gimli's cocksure demeanor and loyalty would be great addition to any crew, entourage, or posse. Who would mess with a stout four foot man with a beard down to his belt brandishing a broad axe or war hammer? Not I. Plus imagine all us West Virginians could learn about mining. I'll tell you in one word…Moria.
(Here are a couple questions that I thought were flat out strange.)
What's the easiest way to identify an atheist? lack of imagination? lack of intelligence? or, the over-sized forehead? Unnamed [Coward, I say. -dd84]
Darwin fish on cars
… mostly found in universities or communes. Seriously, I think it is insulting to say atheists lack intelligence. It seems to me that many atheists are very intelligent and well read. I am not an atheist; I am an agnostic. If you don't know the difference, maybe you can ask Joel [I will think it over and give it a try. -dd84] next week. Anywho. To me, most religions have some great ideas, but are lacking in the practice of those ideas. Conflicts between religious ideologies have caused many of the tragedies in recorded history even though the general ideals of those religions are similar. The book Myths to Live By, by Joseph Campbell, is [a] wonderful comparison of Eastern and Western religions and their effects throughout history. I highly recommend it.
Would you enjoy spending a month of solitude in a beautiful natural setting? Food and shelter would be provided; but, you would not see another person.
Yes, yes, yes. A coworker of mine is doing exactly that right now exploring the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. I am jealous. It definitely takes a certain type of person though. Not everyone can go the Henry David Thoreau route, but I could. I love the idea and challenge of being completely self reliant. I don't find anything lonely about the natural wilderness; let's get out there and find it.
Job. Well. Done., Chauncy. Thank you for the week off. I am looking for other readers interested in taking questions. Let me know if you are interested. I will be back again next week. I promise. Get those questions in. I am guessing that football might be on your minds. Have a good week. Check back Saturday for the links, and Monday for a music inspired short story.

How did we get here? Six years ago to the day the New York Mets were playing Game 7 of the National League Championship Series after winning the night before. Endy Chavez—who despite the outcome will forever live in Mets lore—made one of the greatest catches in the history of this team, robbing Scott Rolen of a go-ahead home run in the 6th. I can go through all of it: The Catch, Aaron Heilman, Yadier Molina & strike 3 called. I was 15 years old, watching a full season of Mets baseball for the first time. I went to bed that night fighting off tears, but my father, along with friends, told me the now infamous line we've all heard: "Don't worry, we'll be back."
2007 started with so much promise as the Mets dominated throughout most of the season. Weeks away from clinching a second consecutive division title, we know what happened next. An epic collapse that could only leave us in a catatonic shock as we buried our heads for the winter. But 2008 would be different, right? The talent's still there, all Moises Alou did was get hit after hit after hit. The trade & signing of Johan Santana was supposed to solidify this team & give them a true ace after dealing with the chronic injuries of former Red Sox star Pedro Martinez. The Mets never ran away with things in 2008, but they scrapped & fought throughout the season, which looked as if it would culminate in a redeeming playoff berth that would never come. Shea Stadium closed it doors with a deceiving fly-ball off the bat of Ryan Church. Another collapse. On top of it, we had to go through the closing ceremonies of our beloved Shea. As I laid my head on my desk, now 17 years old & in my first year of college, I didn't know what to think. But the eternal optimism was still there. 2009 would be better. It had to be—right?
It was April 13, 2009 the day Citi Field first opened its doors for regular season baseball. What looked to be a memorable night turned into anything but. Jody Gerut lead-off the first inning of Citi Field's history with a home run down the right field line off of Mike Pelfrey. In the 5th inning facing a 5-2 deficit when David Wright stepped to the plate & with one momentous swing of the bat tied the game with the first Mets home run in the stadium's history. They would later lose the game 6-5 on a balk. The 2009 season would have plenty of strange & painful moments as Sports Illustrated's World Series prediction wound up to be a major bust. Nearly the entire team would wind up facing injury issues & just like that the Mets became irrelevant for the first time in years.
2010 was the first time since 2004 where there were basically no expectations for the Mets. They looked to surprise many early on when they lead the Wild Card & were 11 games over .500 in late June. I think we know how this ends, unfortunately. Expectations went up early & were quickly brought down with a second half collapse. We would see this trend continue throughout 2011 & 2012 which both ended in under .500 seasons.
So here we are, six whole years since Game 7. Six years since the postseason. In those six years the Mets have had their ups & downs. Unfortunately, every season since then has ended on a low note. After yet another second half debacle, fans are as down as we've seen them in a long time. It's pretty amazing that the New York Mets went from a game away from the World Series to perennial contender to a running joke. Yet with all that we have been dealt & everything I've seen since that fateful October night, I continue to look ahead. There is hope. David Wright appears to be on his way to becoming a Met for life, Ike Davis rebounded from a bad first half to hit over 30 home runs, Matt Harvey has begun to establish himself in the majors & Zack Wheeler is right behind him. There's no question that changes must be made in order to make this a better team, but the phrase "We'll be back" still reigns true. It's just taking longer than we thought.

This woman sure has skipped a few English lessons in her days, and it's hard to believe it's written by an adult. It sounds more like the floozy thoughts of a late teenager sometimes. If you are looking for a book with beautiful language, then move along.However, the book IS addictive and if you can overlook the written teenage-like panting thoughts of Miss Steele (if I had a penny for every time she pants: "Oh, god, he's SO hot!"...), then what emerges is a love story that reminds you of how glorious an infatuated love affair can be. If you are offended by the idea of dom/sub or a bit of red tush then maybe read something else. To the rest of you, this book will definately tickle your fancy. Go on, have a guilty pleasure...

For many years now, gourmet coffee grinders are already a big help to people today in regards to creating fresh a cup of coffee and it doesn't appear to be these devices intend on ceasing soon. Gourmet coffee grinders are highly therapeutic for numerous causes, for example freshness and expense effectiveness. Furthermore, they could help you get a nice and homey sensation inside of your kitchen area with aromas which will fill up the location quickly. beitrag hier lesen
1 remarkably important edge that the majority of people love about espresso grinders is definitely the proven fact that plenty of income may be stored by milling your personal private caffeine beans rather than acquiring them from a keep. Whenever you rely on store-bought coffee grounds, a portion of the price would include the expense of having somebody grind those coffee beans before packing them into the individual packages that they come in. You can also get rid of that additional cost if you get rid of this process and choose to grind the coffee beans on your own instead. Even though some price is going to be incurred at first after you purchase a a cup of coffee grinder, your time and money will be delivered right after a short time. Any personal savings you will get by grinding your personal espresso legumes can substantially mount up and will definitely help you your finances as increasing numbers of time will go by. jetzt beitrag lesen
Another major advantages that accompany mincing your very own individual caffeine beans is definitely the great quality level that you will get to savor later on. Keep-ordered caffeine grounds are pre-filled, so one never knows the time they are sitting on the shelves for. On a daily basis that travels by can give far more likelihood of the gourmet coffee reasons losing their overall freshness. When coffee stays in its coffee bean forms, few freshness will get missing because it is continue to shut on the inside individuals forms. As a result, each time you opt to grind your own personal caffeine beans, you will only discharge the freshness right now that you should, offering you the energy to achieve the right freshness amount for your personal coffee. This would also discharge a more robust bouquet immediately after crushing the gourmet coffee beans when compared to bouquet you will get from store-ordered coffee grounds. Therefore, a great fresh coffee aroma, as well, even though you will not just get ultra fresh coffee grounds out of coffee grinders. Kaffeemaschine mit Mahlwerk Preisvergleich
When enjoying gourmet coffee, could you opt for to obtain it unique and inexpensive or perhaps not-so-fresh and expensive? People seem to be more concerned with convenience instead of freshness, which is why store-bought coffee grounds tend to be more popular compared to personal coffee bean grinding, though obviously, the choice should be easy. If you would like fresher espresso, nonetheless, and do not head setting up some hard work for it, then you should acquire coffee grinders into consideration and even save money in the act. jetzt weiterlesen

Each wholesaler is serviced by a number of suppliers of goods that have varying purchase prices and varying delivery lead times. In addition to their suppliers, wholesalers are also allowed to replenish their supplies from other wholesalers (which belong to the same cost centre) at mutually agreed fixed prices. These kinds of shipment are called trans-shipments and are assumed to be immediately available. When a demand for goods arrives at a wholesaler, one important decision that must be taken is whether or not a trans-shipment should be used to meet the demand. The scope for this study is to minimize the total operational cost of a wholesaler (i.e. the sum of product cost, total backorder, and holding cost related to lead time) by selection of a combination of suppliers, possible trans-shipment and minimizing shortage cost related to unfulfilled retailer demand. In order to assist calculation in minimizing total operation cost (of a wholesaler), an Intelligent Supply Chain System (ISCS) that aims to understand the underlying pattern and prediction of future retailer demand has been developed. The ISCS consists of three modules; these comprise of a Predictability Module (PM), an Optimized Forecast Module (OFM) and a Decision Rule Module (DRM). The PM is responsible for collecting the historical demand from each retailer at the end of the supply chain, and to evaluate the predictability of these demands. The OFM module is responsible for providing an optimized forecast by using a hybrid of artificial intelligence technologies. The DRM module is responsible for providing advisory options under different inventory replenishment policies. To validate the feasibility of the ISCS, a case study has been conducted in a local company using the approach explained above. The optimal prediction policy exhibits a significant advantage of reducing the wholesaler{174}s inventory cost in comparison with the normal cost without any analysis of the predicted demand. The significance of this research study includes an innovative approach that formulates decision rules which can be used for trans-shipment decision-making in supply chains made up of suppliers, wholesalers, and retailers, in any local region. One advantage of the model presented includes the inclusion of multiple suppliers for wholesalers as well as variable goods delivery lead times, both of which are important issues of the properties of previous models that neglect the main features of real operations in inventory systems. Another advantage is that its implementation is straight-forward and only requires direct calculations and a comparison of total costs.

Traditionally, customers' needs are gathered through surveys. Nowadays, more and more e-commerce websites encourage customers to post online reviews and express their opinions. Consequently, online reviews become a valuable source of customers' needs. However, it is difficult for product designers to understand all the relevant customers' needs from a vast number of online reviews. Under this circumstance, an intelligent system should be designed to mine useful information from online reviews and help designers to improve their products. To understand how designers filter and digest the customers' needs, two exploratory case studies are conducted. The purpose of the first case study is to explore why some reviews are preferred by product designers, while the second is to understand how designers analyze online reviews. From the first case study, two questions for the identification of design-preferred reviews are clarified. (1) The first question is how to identify helpful online reviews from designers' perspective. This question is formulated as a regression model. According to designers' arguments about why some reviews are helpful, the regression model is built from four categories of features which are extracted directly from the review contents. Closely associated with this question, another concern is whether the concept of helpfulness perceived by designers in one domain can be migrated to other domains. Different methods of feature selection are employed for this concern. (2) The second question is how to recommend rating values on online reviews by taking designers{174} personal preferences into consideration. This question is formulated as a classification model. Utilizing the four categories of features, this classification model is considered from both the generic helpfulness aspect and the personal preference aspect from a designer. Various experiments suggest that design-preferred reviews can be identified by analyzing review content automatically.; From the second case study, two questions for building a design-centered knowledge base from online reviews are explored. (1) The first question is how to associate online reviews with product characteristics. A probabilistic approach, which utilizes the statistic information about keywords and context words in the online reviews, is proposed for this question. The impacts of context words are estimated in this probabilistic approach according to their distances to keywords. (2) The second question is how to prioritize product characteristics from online reviews. Based on the customer satisfaction on online reviews, an ordinal pairwise supervised classification approach is developed for this question. Also, an integer nonlinear programming optimization model is advised to make the pairwise-based results of this approach to be evaluated with standard classification and ranking evaluation metrics. The encouraging results validate the feasibility of the proposed methods. Overall, in this research, a regression model is proposed to identify helpful online reviews; several feature selection methods are compared to explore whether the concept of helpfulness perceived by designers in one domain can be migrated to other domains; a classification model is suggested to recommend rating value on online reviews; a probabilistic approach is developed to connect online reviews with product characteristics; and finally, an ordinal pairwise supervised classification approach as well as the integer nonlinear programming optimization model is advised to prioritize product characteristics based on online reviews. The proposed techniques benefit product designers to improve their products and attract more customers. Future extensions can be conducted towards building intelligent applications to process online reviews for product designers.

A key task in this process is to determine which of the asset items are important to the business activities and goals of the company. This research tackles the shortcomings of the traditional knowledge audit methodology which operates on well-structured business flow and process. These traditional methodologies are not applicable for knowledge intensive companies which often have business processes that are highly unstructured and not well-defined such as works in consultancy, marketing or product development. Knowledge assets of these task-oriented companies do not merely reside in structured forms such as databases and specifications, but are also embedded in many scattered and massive unstructured sources such as emails, meeting records, publications, newsletters, websites, chat rooms, instant messages, blogs, etc. This research project aims to develop a method to elicit the knowledge asset items and assess their relative importance for subsequent knowledge capture from the vast amount of unstructured information embedded in various sources of a company. An intellectual capital (IC) framework which classifies the important intangible assets of an organisation into human capital (HC), structural capital (SC) and relational capital (RC) is adopted. A traditional IC value tree which shows the hierarchy and relative importance of the chosen IC components (i.e., the subset of HC, SC and RC), is also used as a framework to identify the knowledge inventory that is important or of relevance to the company. However, conventional approaches in the construction and the elicitation of the IC components need intensive time and manpower, require experienced IC management practitioners with facilitation skills, and introduce unavoidable subjectivity and human bias to the study result. Therefore, this research study offers an alternative choice to companies to overcome such limitations. In this study, an IC oriented knowledge asset elicitation system (iCOKES) was developed based on text mining technology to reveal the relevant IC components. An IC thesaurus model was also built with an IC domain dictionary and taxonomy in iCOKES to discover the important IC components that frequently appear in various sources of unstructured information. The IC components were extracted and their relative importance calculated according to corresponding frequency of appearance in the various documents being analysed.; The developed IC driven knowledge audit methodology was validated through a trial implementation in a selected reference site, a public utility company named The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas), and an interview was conducted with the stakeholders of a selected reference site to validate the IC value tree obtained from the semi-automatic text mining. These IC components are presented in a structured IC value tree which serves as a template for the examination of knowledge activities, knowledge inventory and knowledge flow in a company. The IC driven knowledge audit methodology developed in this project is demonstrated to be a more efficient approach for eliciting IC items objectively with a minimum amount of human intervention or human bias in the construction of the IC value tree. The method has the capability to elicit IC components from a large amount of unstructured information which can by any text based material, e.g. annual reports, meeting notes, forum discussion or instant messages, etc. The IC value tree is aligned with an audit goal. This can not only ensure that every knowledge inventory and flow supports and maximizes the IC goal, but also renders a good linkage between IC and the results of a knowledge audit. This project is the first of its kind to integrate IC and knowledge audit research in the development of a semi-automatic method in the classification of IC and the automatic generation of an IC value tree for carrying out the knowledge audit in a company.

This thesis presents a heuristic generation algorithm, called Suboptimum-and Proportion-based On-the-fly Training (SPOT), which can enhance existing heuristics with the aid of instance-specific information. By making use of the proposed "sample-learn-generate" framework, SPOT samples small-scale subproblems, initially. Then, it collects the instance-specific information from the suboptima of the subproblems by the means of machine learning. Lastly, it generates new heuristics by modifying existing heuristics and data structures. In the development of SPOT, two standards were incorporated to regulate the problem input and the machine learning data. The software implementation was done in Java, with two external development libraries, the HyFlex and the Weka. In terms of testing, two well-known NP-Complete combinatorial optimization problem domains were employed: the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and the permutation Flow-Shop scheduling Problem (FSP). Each generated heuristic was tested with the TSP and the FSP domains. To verify the result of using SPOT, one of the winners of the international hyper-heuristic competition CHeSC 2011, named PHunter, was tested with the generated heuristics by SPOT. In the TSP, adapting SPOT gave little betterment, but in FSP, the improvements were significant. It increased the overall score of the PHunter from 20.5 to 43 (out of 50). Indeed, it also outperformed the best records in CHeSC 2011: 32 by AdaptHH, 29.5 by ML and 26 by VNS-TW.

#30posesin30days Day 24: Parivrtta Janusirsasana - Revolved Head to Knee Pose. #yogapose #showusyouryoga
This is a wonderful lengthening stretch for the hip, arm and side body that leaves you feeling energized and refreshed.
Moving from yesterday's Cobblers pose, extend the left leg out at a comfortable angle. You want to find a position where the leg is long and straight. Align you shoulders over the hips and as you inhale reach the arm up above the head. Bring a slight twist into the waist so the torso faces the bend right knee. Lengthening into your fingertips then exhale into a side stretch, so you are beginning to lower the left ear towards the leg. Find somewhere you can comfortably hold bringing the arms to wherever you reach, down to the leg, foot or the mat. Depending on the variation you choose the arm can reach alongside the ear, up towards the ceiling or deep so on your flexibility to the foot. Breathe into the side body and feel the expansion of the body with the breath.
Holding here as long as you're comfortable and then moving out of the pose with your inhalation, lifting up and then practicing on the other side.
Things to keep in mind:
1) Start aligned and stay aligned; shoulders over hips - shoulder over thigh.
2) Maintain that slight rotation in the waist so that your chest is perpendicular with the floor, opening towards the front.
3) Hold the neck along the same line as your spine.
4) Don't pull the body into the stretch instead relax yourself deeper as you exhale.
5) Shoulders away from the ears one stacked above the other. Relax the jaw and throat.
Some benefits of #parivrittajanusirsasana include,
stretching the spine, shoulders, and hamstrings,
stimulating the filter organs: liver and kidneys,
aiding digestion,
can relieve mild backache,
and can help to reduce anxiety and fatigue.

I first met Dr. Victory when I was trying to get my periods under control. A few years later he was my OB for a higher risk pregnancy after a gastric bypass. He was knowledgeable about my nutritional needs and after having a hard repeat c-section he was able to explain what happened and what I will be in for if I have more kids. Always available for answers. Great doctor. Amazing staff. Phone calls always returned. I will definitely recommend him to anyone.

My husband and I have nothing but the most wonderful things to say about Doctor Victory, his team and our experience while under his care. Doctor Victory made us feel comfortable from our first meeting- he answered all of our questions (making sure we understood everything), he provided thorough first class care and although his practice is quite popular, we never felt rushed or like we didn't matter. He makes his patients' needs paramount and is very thorough -taking no chances, but rather exercising every tool and method necessary to ensure optimal health and well-being for his moms and their babies. He is proficient, reassuring and highly dedicated to his patients. The staff at Doctor Victory's office is also to be applauded. They are warm, welcoming and efficient. Wait times are incredibly reasonable and his team works hard to get all preliminary information/testing done so that your time with the doc is productive and rich. Can't thank him and his team enough. Highly recommended.

Dr.Victory and his staff are amazing. I cannot say enough about the level of care and compassion from all who were involved in our journey to have a child. Dr.Victory is always very thorough and open to answering any and all questions that we had. At all times we felt comfortable and confident in the decisions that he was making for us because he gave us all the information for us to make an informed choice. I was in the hospital at the end of my pregnancy and Dr. Victory came to see me almost everyday to touch base, see if I had questions and to let me know what his plan was. At no time was I concerned with the treatment I was receiving. I cannot express enough about what type of doctor he is. More physicians should take lessons from this man. He dedicates his life to doing what he does and he loves what he does, that makes him a phenomenal doctor. I consider myself blessed to have had the opportunity to be a patient of Dr. Victory. Thank you for the exceptional care!

I had been going to another local fertility specialist whom did a laparoscopy on me and got scared away by the extent of my endo. I went to Dr. Victory for a second opinion and he told me about things the first dr found and didn't tell me about. Dr. Victory performed a laparoscopy on me a couple weeks ago now and was successful with the surgery in removing a cyst and the endo that the other dr wouldn't do. Dr V made my husband and I feel 100% comfortable and answered all and any questions we had. He is an amazing doctor and I wouldn't put my health in anyone else's hands. I can never thank Dr. Victory and his staff enough.

After a recent visit to Dr. Victory's office, I feel compelled, like so many others on this site, to share my thoughts of him. I believe that so many of us, no matter what the reasons are for visiting, are in a very vulnerable position, feeling "exposed" is almost as nerve-racking as the medical issue. I entered the clinic so distressed, but over time those feelings dissipated thanks to Dr. Victory. He efficiently tended to my medical needs providing favourable results, leaving me feeling that he is deserving of trust. He is extremely knowledgeable, rational, decisive, compassionate, humorous, and kind. The balance of these characteristics are the perfect blend for any patient who is searching for an exceptional doctor. These positive posts are of no surprise to me.

I can assure you that Dr. Victory and the staff at VRC are the best you will ever encounter. There is none greater when it comes to the most advanced, current, and engaged. The knowledge that Dr. Victory has is solely through constant learning and investment of his time and energy--sacrificing much else in terms of his personal life. Why? Because healthy babies are his first priority. This holds true for all of the staff at VRC. Weekends are a luxury that they enjoy rarely as they put your needs first. I speak as a professional who has witnessed other physician's offices in action but more importantly, as a former patient. After SEVERAL years of failed fertility cycles and much disappointment, anger, and financial and physical exhaustion, we naturally became pregnant as we first met with VRC. The care we received throughout the pregnancy was stellar--I had stopped gaining weight, and he enforced biweekly monitoring to ensure safety of both myself and our son. VRC will not disappoint.

Dr Victory made all our dreams come true. After being misdiagnosed six years earlier by another dr a friend of the family brought up Dr Victory's name. We decided to give it one last shot. Thank God we did. Within a few short months, Dr Victory had diagnosed our problem and we were pregnant by in vitro. He did not pressure us into in vitro at all. The man is beyond kind and truly cares for his patients. With every appt we never felt rushed and he always took the time to answer any questions. His bedside manner is wonderful and is his sense of humor. He is passionate about his calling. The staff is equally as kind. We built a wonderful rapport with each and every lady who works at VRC. When you have struggled as much as I have with infertility you appreciate kindness and understanding. Thank you to Dr Victory for our beautiful daughter. We are forever grateful.

I was referred to Dr. Victory by my family doctor when I told her of my wish to conceive. Dr. Victory met with my husband and I and both of us went through a series of tests to determine if there were any issues. He was extremely thorough as no doctor I have been to has been. For such a young doctor, he is definitely experienced in the field of reproduction. After IVF, we decided to go with him throughout my pregnancy and I have to say that, considering that I had twins, I had an EASY pregnancy. Dr. Victory took every precaution and monitored me very carefully, and I give him all the credit for my incredible experience. When it was time for my delivery, I made sure that it was he who delivered my babies (natural birth, by the way). This will be my one and only pregnancy and I am so grateful that, with his help, he made it such an amazing experience. Thank you Dr. Victory and staff for visiting me after the delivery and for giving me 2 wonderful babies.

The A Sau Valley and Hamburger Hill
For the specialists
What we say:
There are a number of spots in the area that were significant during the war and may have a familiar ring to some visitors -- you may even find a map marking some landing zones with names like Razorback and Cunningham, and some hills named with numbers. Tempting, but there's nothing there any more. Even the most ambitious tour companies don't really recommend a visit, unless you're a returning Vet. This goes double for Hamburger Hill, which many tourists want to visit because of the movie. Some maps place it to the south of highway 29 in the Asau Valley, but all our sources say it is to the nort of A Luoi. A permit is needed to visit it, and it's only reachable on foot, from somewhere along Route 14. Its a two-hour walk each way, and it's not recommended in the rainy season. Some of the hills and landing zones are easier to access, but there are no signs, so you must hire a guide. Vets and others who served in Vietnam during the war can try contacting Huong Giang Tourist 17 Le Loi, Hue T: (054) 832-220 (www.huonggiangtourist.com), or Sepon Travel in Dong Ha.Last updated: 30th January, 2008

Franklin - Two 19-year-old men were arrested for burglary after an alert police officer pursued a vehicle speeding out of a Franklin subdivision Monday.
According to the Franklin police report:
The officer attempted to pull the vehicle over after he saw it speed out of a subdivision near 76th Street and Drexel Avenue about 3 a.m. Monday. The driver failed to stop for the officer and a pursuit ensued.
The chase ended when the driver pulled over in the 9500 block of West Loomis Road. After police discovered numerous stolen items in the car, the occupants, a 19-year-old Franklin man and a 19-year-old Milwaukee man, were arrested.
A police investigation determined the men stole the items from a home and four vehicles in the 7900 block of South 55th Street prior to the police chase. They apparently entered the home while the residents were sleeping.

A trip from NJ to S. America--Type, journey length, boat details?

Re: A trip from NJ to S. America--Type, journey length, boat details?
OK, I will play, since I am a writer too, but not fiction. We sailed from Chesapeake Bay to the Caribbean in early November a couple of years ago. Some thoughts:
- lots (~150 boats a year) head to Caribbean each year from US in November.; Two reasons for date, it is after the normal hurricane season (although you can get the odd hurricane in November); also most insurance does not cover you until Nov 1 south of Cape Hatteras (North Carolina)
- most go from the Chesakeake, although some leave from further north; further north you are, the nastier the weather although you can (and do) get pasted further south
- generally people aim for the British Virgin Islands and then head further east and down the chain of islands
- in your subject line you mentioned South America; that is hard because of foul currents south of Trinidad; if you wanted to go to Brazil for example the approach would have to be different
- someone mentioned the Gulf Stream; it is a concern but does not extend all that far; check on line and you can see where it is and how wide it is
- the reason for heading towards Bermuda is that you want to get far enough east before getting into the trade winds (google it). In general an L-shaped route makes most sense since you end up going across the trades, which is good, rather than into them
- since your protagonists want to be unobtrusive, it would make sense to hide in the small crowd of boats heading south - ie don't look suspicious
- assuming the above, you could have them go to the BVI and then do a couple of overnights from there; It is easiest and check in and out of the French islands (Guadeloupe and Martinique) since you only have to sit down at a computer and do it yourself; most other islands you are dealing with officials
- don't know if you are looking for them to go an uninhabited island - those are really rare and even rarer to have one with an anchorage
- as to the boat they would take, do your shopping at yachtworld.com - the boats for sail there typically have lots of pictures
- if I am a 'money is not a problem' kind of guy, I might look at a Hallberg-Rassy 43 or slightly bigger (might as well not suffer on the trip)
- it is not like buying a used car and driving away, the boat has to be properly-prepared for a journey like this and well-provisioned; the boat you buy might have been prepped for ocean voyaging and then the owner got ill - that is not too rare unfortunately; now your people only have to go shopping before leaving
Finished the circumnavigation in early February in Grenada. Have to work on a book project for the next several months so the boat will be waiting for next year.

Veggie Walnut "Couscous" with Lemon-Basil Cream (v/gf)

Unwonted (Niall Horan) - bonus book in the One Direction Series {COMPLETED}
She turned me down several times. She told me she was done with guys. She avoided me. But I knew better, I knew she was the kind who runs into your life only once and I just couldn't let her go. I had to try again and again until she would tell me she wanted me, too. I knew she was special, I knew she was unique, I knew she was different. I knew Alex was an unwonted girl. And I had to have her.
Unwonted retells Backfire from Niall's POV. The last book in the series and it's coming soon, only on wattpad!
I cannot wait to relive Backfire and see everything through Niall's eyes. Looking forward to this very, very much....

The Halloween Legion: The Great Goblin Invasion Advance Hardcover Review by FBC Contributor Tim Palmer!
The Halloween Legion: The Great Goblin Invasion is an entertaining all-ages book from Dark Horse and Sequential Pulp Comics that combines humor, horror, and science fiction into a story that relates a positive message for kids with hints of nostalgia for adults, all presented with just the right amount of subtle melancholy. The Halloween Legion, created by Martin Powell and Diana Leto, is comprised of classic Halloween characters – The Skeleton, The Devil, The Witch, and The Ghost, but each is unique, and there is a rich, emotional depth to their characters and their relationships. They may be the "World's Weirdest Heroes," but they are also friends, brought together by their powers, their desire to help people, and the fact that they don't quite fit into regular society.
Happy #fridaythe13th ! Grab your #charms and #bells to scare them away! don't let those #goblins and #gremlins get you today!

Data Files of GPs, GP Practices, Nurses and Pharmacies from Organisation Data Service
Provider: Department of Health
Important Note to Users re: NHS ODS GP Identifier Codes
Information on General Practitioners is collated and maintained by the NHS Prescription Service to facilitate their remit to remunerate dispensing contractors and provide the NHS with financial, prescribing and drug information. Users need to be aware of a number of characteristics of the GP codes:
• GPs may have more than one identifier within the file – one for each practice they prescribe from. Note that the practice code is supplied in field 15 of the practitioner file.
• Some codes do not identify a real individual, but exist to track prescribing activity of GPs working temporarily; i.e. a 'bucket' code assigned to a practice, for ad-hoc use by locums.
Some key consequences include:
• The codes are not unique identifiers for GPs. They are more accurately described as identifying prescribing cost centres, and their relationship with a location (GP practice).
• The data does not provide an accurate depiction of the number of GPs practicing within the UK.
Users should note that the ODS are evaluating proposed changes to the data which will address the issues outlined above. Work will commence in 2011 to implement the proposed changes. In the mean time, feedback should be addressed to the ODS at email@example.com or 01392 251289.Read More
