Secrets of Success
Thomas Edison, GMOs, and Vietnamese Food

Monday, January 07, 2013
"Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."
So says Thomas Edison.
Meh. I beg to differ, at least with myself. For me, a huge part of this healthy lifestyle is mental. Like, huge. Once I win the mental battles, the rest is so much easier, although I will admit that they require a lot of perspiration. And the proof of a mental victory is in the perspiration. There are days when I go through the whole day debating as to whether or not I should exercise or if I should eat a healthy dinner or splurge. Other times, I fight with myself all day about running, I finally get out and plan to run only a mile, but I end up going 2 or 3, or maybe faster than last time. Seriously, the most difficult part is the mental battle. I make a lot of excuses that are almost never legitimate. I finally realized a little while ago that the fact of the matter is that I'm lazy. That's it, plain and simple. I'm lazy.
But here's where there's hope. It's in God. We are to take care of our bodies, the temple of God. This means eating right and exercising, among other things. Also, the Bible speaks against laziness. So clearly, the right thing to do in God's eyes is to eat right and exercise, and throw my excuses out the window. But I know that in my own strength, I can't keep this up. God has truly been my strength, changing me, changing my character, helping me to keep going, even when I don't feel like it. Any success I've had is all because of Him.
So, on to GMOs. We watched a movie last night called "Genetic Roulette". It's a very eye-opening documentary about GMOs. After watching it, you will probably want to avoid GMOs in any way you can. The good news is, if you're eating a whole foods diet, you will be automatically avoiding most GMOs. There are a few things you may need to buy organic, such as corn (and it's by products such as corn syrup and corn starch), tofu, soy milk, and zucchini. Also, if you aren't a vegan like me, then you should consider buying organic dairy and meat, as the GMO feed the animals are fed can leave a lot of residue in the meat and milk. (I realize that organic dairy and meat are very expensive, so that's an excellent reason to become plant based :] )
There's a new Vietnamese restaurant that opened up just across from the Starbucks where I work. They brought over some free appetizers for us the other night, along with some menus (an advertising ploy, I'm sure). I skipped the appetizers, but was excited to find that they had a large number of tofu/vegetarian dishes on their menu. Mom and I went there for lunch today. I got Lemongrass Tofu and Vegetables. The sauce was very yummy, although salty. The tofu was deep-fried which means it was quite greasy, and to be honest, I prefer stir fried tofu; I didn't look at the menu close enough, but it seems they have another dish called Stir Fried Lemongrass Tofu and Vegetables. It was also salty, but that was to be expected. Mom got vegetarian spring rolls. They were yummy, but pretty standard. But nice to know that they are vegetarian. I enjoyed the meal, but it was too unhealthy to go there all the time. One point for vegetarian/vegan food, zero points for healthy food.

Member Comments About This Blog Post:
Thanks for your comment, Kelly! I think I may have phrased my statement that |any success I have is because of God" a little bit unclearly. I don't mean to say that it was something automatic that happened and there was no hard work involved. I think you're right when you say it was even perhaps my ability and desire to listen to Him. God didn't shove kale salad down my throat, or force me to run several times a week. He gave me strength to do those things then I made the choice to actually do them. But without His strength, I wouldn't have had the same kind of success as I've had.
And yeah, GMOs are so hard to avoid! From my understanding of it, in order to easily avoid GMOs you either have to eat no processed foods or make sure ALL your processed foods are organic. Which is quite expensive.

Hey! Eeek! GMOs freak me out!!! I hope I am avoiding them, but who really can be sure!?
About your God discussion - this is a sentiment that I see often about God being the source of your strength, which I think is awesome. I'm not Christian, but I can certainly understand this viewpoint.
But going the step further to "Any success I've had is all because of Him." is something I disagree with. I realize Sparks isn't the place to start a theological discussion... but this kind of statement always strikes me as disturbing. It 'isn't' all because of Him - if it were, the whole world would be thin and healthy. There is a very significant part of YOU in this equation!! Even if it is just your ability and desire to listen to HIM - YOU are still in there! Attributing all of your success to God seems as silly to me as blaming all of your failure on God as well. The latter seems absurd, so why go with the first? Like I said, I'm not Christian (though I am very open minded), so I might be missing something, but I don't think God would want you to give away your own strength!! You are made in His image afterall ;-)
And finally YUM- lemongrass tofu! I'm getting hungry! :-)

GMOs are the buzz word for the week. I haven't done much research on them; frankly, we're at a point in our budget that we can't really afford to avoid them. Organics and such are just too expensive!
Sounds like you had tasty stuff. At least they were healthier, right?

Trivia Time: MLB Network Set To Premiere New Game Show "Baseball IQ" Tonight
Published January 24, 2012
IN HIS BLOOD: Vasgersian has quite the background in game shows -- both as contestant and host. He co-hosted FSN's "Sports Geniuses" from '99-'00, and was a contestant on both "The Dating Game" and "Supermarket Sweep." In addition, Vasgersian's mother appeared on "Password" when he was just six years old. He said, "I think that's how I got hooked in, subliminally."
FROM THE CONSTANTS THEMSELVES: THE DAILY spoke with several "Baseball IQ" contestants to get their take on the show.
Q: How did you get the honor of representing your franchise on the show? Did you volunteer? Nominated? Lost a bet?
Giants Manager Of Client Relations Greg Marinec: There were two tests given. I scored in the top four of the first test, and was the high-man on the 2nd test, and off to Secaucus I went!
Rangers Senior VP/Ballpark Entertainment Chuck Morgan: More of volunteer, most of PR people were busy with other things. ... I was kind of next on the list.
Braves Corporate Partnerships Manager Mark Lehman: Volunteered to take a baseball trivia test with about a dozen other Braves front office staff and scored the highest -- won by one point.
Tigers Dir Of Marketing Ron Wade: It was a pretty intense process. The Tigers sent an e-mail to all staff letting us know if we wanted to participate that we'd have to take a written exam. ... The top five scorers moved on to a second set of harder questions. I had the highest score after it was over.
Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your baseball IQ going into filming?
Wade: Probably a six-and-a-half. I'm an American League fan, so I had to do a lot of studying on the NL.
Morgan: Baseball IQ from 1960 to 1975, probably an 8 or a 9 ... from 1976 to 2011, probably around a 5.
Q: What did you do to prepare for this challenge?
Marinec: Spent a lot of time on the Baseball Almanac and Baseball-Reference.com websites.
Wade: Besides drive my wife crazy by asking her to ask me questions? I re-watched most of the Ken Burns "Baseball" documentary, spent some quality time with MLB.com and Baseball-Reference.com, had my co-workers fire random questions at me.
Lehman: Borrowed some record and trivia books from our media relations department and studied "a little" over the holidays. However, mainly just went into this with what I already knew and didn't know.
Q: Were there any subject areas you felt particularly confident in? Any subjects you hoped wouldn't come up?
Marinec: I felt confident being able to answer questions about events and/or players that have taken place during my lifetime (since 1970). Not so much about stuff before that.
Morgan: Older trivia, more concerned about current questions than older trivia.
Wade: I was pretty confident with the Hall of Famers and I memorized a lot of milestone "clubs." There are so many possible subjects to cover, that I didn't fear one -- I feared them all!
Q: Was there anyone you looked to for guidance before heading on the show -- a Yoda of baseball trivia, if you will?
Lehman: Just my dog Charlie, asked him to wish me good luck as I headed out to participate.
Marinec: There really was not as I am the biggest baseball nerd I know.
Q: Going into filming, who did you see as your biggest competition?
Lehman: All of the baseball statistical analysts that represented a number of the other clubs. Couple of Ivy Leaguers in that group.
Wade: I thought going against someone from the Baseball Hall of Fame would be intimidating just because they had every team's history at their fingertips.
Q: Are your colleagues trying to break you down to find out how far you made it on the show?
Lehman: I'm just telling them to watch the show. I need ratings to launch my next career in television!
Marinec: Yes but at the same time, they realize I am unable to reveal. Only my wife knows so far.
Morgan: Not really, (they are) too busy getting ready for the 2012 season.
Wade: Yes. I hear "How did you do? or "Did you win?" at least five times a day.

Title | A Raman spectroscopic and TEM study on the structural evolution of Na2Ti3O7 during the transition to Na2Ti6O13 |
Author | Liu, Hongwei; Yang, Dongjiang; Zheng, Zhanfeng; Ke, Xuebin; Waclawik, Eric; Zhu, Huaiyong; Frost, Ray L. |
Journal Name | Journal of Raman Spectroscopy |
Year Published | 2010 |
Place of publication | United Kingdom |
Publisher | John Wiley & Sons Ltd. |
Abstract | The synthesis of sodium hexatitanate from sodium trititanatewas characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The structural evolution from trititanate to hexatitanate was studiedusingRamanspectra,XRDandHRTEMtechniques. Itwas found that theRamanbands at 279cm−1 corresponding to very long Ti–Obonds and at 883 cm−1 corresponding to the very short Ti–Obonds decrease in intensity and finally disappear during the transition from sodium trititanate to sodium hexatitanate. The band at 922 cm−1 corresponding to an intermediate-length Ti–O bond was observed to become stronger with the increase in temperature, indicating that there is no terminal oxygen atom in the crystal structure of Na2Ti6O13 and that all the oxygen atoms become linearly coordinated by two titanium atoms. Furthermore, the TiO6 octahedron in Na2Ti6O13 aremore regular because the very long (2.2 Å) or very short (1.7 Å) Ti–O bonds disappear. It is revealed that the phase transition from trititanate to hexatitanate is a step-by-step slipping process of the TiO6 octahedral slabs with the loss of sodium cations, and a new phase with formula Na1.5H0.5Ti3O7 has been discovered as an intermediate phase to interlink Na2Ti3O7 and Na2Ti6O13. |

The San Diego Padres will be trotting out a five-foot, 90-pound underhand pitcher before Sunday's game against the New York Mets.
In honor of her 105th birthday, Agnes McKnee will throw out the ceremonial first pitch, making her the oldest person to toss out the first pitch at Petco Park.
McKnee, who proved her sense of humor is as sharp as ever, has been practicing for her big moment — in between games of bridge and bingo, of course. She will apparently be unleashing a pretty solid underhand pitch when she takes the mound on July 20.
"I am very honored to do this, it's exciting and I hope I can get through it," McKee told FOX5 San Diego. "I was really glad I got up this morning, I was afraid I wouldn't."

McKnee has also been studying up on the Padres, learning some of the players' names, despite not being the team's No. 1 fan. Although she might be the team's most awesomely honest fan.
"I haven't been very into the Padres because they don't ever win any games," McKee said, via FOXSports.com.

HandBrake 0.10.0 New Feature Test/Review – Rip DVD with HandBrake 0.10.0
From the official news that HandBrake 0.10.0 was released on Nov 22, 2014. HandBrake 0.10.0 is a major upgrade release, or say, the biggest update for HandBrake so far with "hundreds of new features, changes, and bug fixes". If so, what are the new points? Before that, please see the reviews of previous HandBrake versions, such as 0.9.8 and 0.9.9.
HandBrake 0.9.8 Review
HandBrake 0.9.9 Review
All-rounded HandBrake 0.10.0 Review
What's new in HandBrake 0.10.0? First of all, the new version has introduced many new encoders, such as the H.264 encoder "Intel QuickSync Video", the next-generation H.265 encoder and libvpx VP8 encoder. HandBrake 0.10.0 provides higher quality denoising and OpenCL for BiCubic scaling on Windows.
Expectedly, HandBrake is made faster in the new release HandBrake 0.10.0 with the help of Intel QuickSync Video Encode / Decode support. However, it is only realized in Windows version only by far, not for Linux yet. And most HandBrake users hope some of the following problems can be solved in 0.10: HandBrake Wrong Title Selection, Handbrake 64 VLC Error, "HandBrake Selects Wrong DVD Title" Error, HandBrake not running on Mac OS X Yosemite or Mavericks, Quitting on OS X Mountain Lion, No Valid Source Found Error, etc.
Some user thinks HandBrake numbering scheme is for open source projects with no aesthetic sense. After 0.99 comes 0.10.0. HandBrake is way more stable, reliable and feature-rich. But this update is considered more than that for Windows; for example, the milestone HandBrake 0.10 has added with Windows Phone 8 Preset, improved the stability, accessibility, usability, layout and design on Windows OS, but not on Mac and Linux. And we should also note that it does no longer support Windows XP. Besides, it has added VP8 Encoder, but is only available in MKV files.
The Best Software to Replace HandBrake 0.10.0/0.99…
WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is by far the fastest DVD ripping software good at ripping/converting latest copy-protected DVDs to any new portable devices, and mainstream video formats on Windows PC without other assistance. It also comes with a perfect Mac DVD ripper as the best HandBrake 0.10.0 Mac edition alternative.
With 350+ profiles, it can faultlessly convert all DVDs to iPhone 6 (Plus), Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge, HTC Desire 816, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z2, Xperia Z3, WP8, Surface Pro 3, iPhone/5/5S/5C, iPad/Air 2/mini 3, iPod touch/5, Apple TV, Android, Samsung Galaxy, Google New Nexus 7, HTC One, Surface, Kindle Fire, WP8, PSP, etc. It supports Hyper-threading technology to provide the fastest speed to rip DVD movies while making good use of multiple CPU cores. With High Quality Engine, this HandBrake 0.10 alternative DVD ripper keeps the original audio video quality after converting DVD.
If you want to enjoy the hot movies on your tablets or smartphones wirelessly, this HandBrake 0.10 alternative can help you out. New DVDs supported: Transformers 4: Age of Extinction, Muppets Most Wanted, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Godzilla, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Maleficent, Guardians of the Galaxy , and more.

Starting nursing school next year
0 Hi to all of the current pn students. I will be starting Nursing school next year.

Product description
The garden of Hidcote Manor in Gloucestershire is among the most influential gardens in England, and certainly one of the most visited. Each year more than 100,000 visitors come to this Cotswold hilltop to admire the intricate parterres and exuberant borders, to wander through the fabled series of 'garden rooms' and the mysterious woodland glades and find inspiration in the varied gallery of plants. No garden made in the 20th century has more clearly charted the direction to be taken by garden style. None has offered more vivid inspiration to the makers of gardens large and small.

New Government Measures To Boost Female Entrepreneurship
A new package of measures to ensure that women have the support and confidence to maximise their business potential has been launched in response to recommendations by the Women's Enterprise Taskforce (WETF).
The WETF final report, 'Greater Return On Women's Enterprise', was published on Women's Enterprise Day (3rd November).
Actions include creating regional Women's Enterprise Champions and a new industry-led Women's Enterprise Forum, plus a commitment between major high street banks to continue to improve the routes to business finance for women entrepreneurs.
Actions will also be taken to address the shortage of available data on women's enterprise to drive policy and advocacy.
A similar package has also been launched to support ethnic minority entrepreneurs to establish and grow their business.
This move forms part of a Government pledge to maximise UK business talent, and broaden participation in enterprise to help tackle the challenges facing the UK economy.

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.41 / 5.00 2,837 Views*Update: Daily Second Place and Front Page!? Oh joy!! Muchos gracias Tom Fulp! W00t, it was fun answering reviews from you people, me and Martin read some and were happy with the response.. while some ...were funny. Thanks to everyone and Joe Rodgers for support.*
Hope you enjoy!
..and for those of you who like to read about what you watch, here we go:
About this movie:
This is my third submission to Newgrounds.. and not surprisingly, its another school project! This time, it is for my Grade 11 World Religion Course. The assignment was to present some material covered from the course and I got native spirituality. I teamed up with my good friend Martin to take this massive project on and I thought it would be cool to make an animation. This was started.. late November with me going on a school trip to a native preservation area, I was hoping to interview someone who was native but the whole Sha-bang was run by white people. Haha, kinda ironic. But I did get to see what a long house looked and other stuff, whatever. So then for the first time ever, I decided to story board a movie before I start it, and that took a while because I timed it with the song I choose. (Gladiator Theme Song = Enya - Now We Are Free). Once that was done, I started animating in early December, then on my Christmas Break I had it done..with alot of complaints. So I was editing and making things look less stupid for the past week. My friend Martin would sit beside me for hours and watch me animate slowly, providing insight and making me laugh to help me get through the tedious process. He also did some editing by telling me to fix things >_< …I know the animation is kinda choppy and slow but that is because the frame rate is low and when I speed it up, it does not go with the song.. oh well. It is only my third movie so before I ever get good I have to make a few stepping stones. By the way, the little picture thingy for this movie was crafted by my net-savy friend Joe, good job.
About the story:
The theme is native spirituality. It is about a boy, around age thirteen, going on his vision quest. And what a vision quest is you ask? Well it is a coming of age ordeal and it varies depending on what natives do it. A boy has to leave his family and go off on his own into nature and survive until he has sought guidance from "The Great Spirit" which appears to him in the form of an animal usually. It is a spiritual journey of reflection and inner maturity. So this is what I portrayed in my movie, a boy maturing through his vision quest.
So I hope you have a nice time watching the colourful movie. I made my own art style for this, no black in the movie other then the fade-to-black-screen parts. I tried to stay away from anime because I am tried of it all. So with some day-dreaming and sketches in my binder when I was not paying attention in class, I crafted the boy and molded a style for him. Thanks for reading, if your still with me here. I will try to answer the reviews so tell me what you think… I wonder what my fans, (all 1 of you) think of it… =)
very touching
Something like this is nice for once. Really touching between man and boy. Makes you want to cry in a way. Only complaint is that there was no sound otherwise it was perfect.
Oh. Well with an 8 and not hearing sound.. well, there was sound. There was music, hmmm, OH! do you mean as in talking or sound effects? I hope you do, we don't want you to pull a Mr. Zero. Thanks for watching.
pretty good
I have to say i didn't expect much, but i was impressed. Keep up the good work.
With not expecting much and being impressed, I'm impressed. Yay for both of us. Many successful shags.
good stuff
super good animations the plot was all serious and stuff which i guess is okay except when you have a short attenition span and the music was good but sorta weird but all in all good movie and a million times better than anything i make
super good review i am glad you think so yeah i know the plot was all serious and its cool you payed attention enough to write a review thanks for watching and take care
not too shabby
the story wasnt that impressive,
but for what it was, it works. though
the animation was rough and the
visuals were sketchy. music was
however fitting and appropiate.
though, with a title like this, i
kinda expected it to be more
artistic in looks.
not bad, in fact i liked it.
Nice review.
Glad you think so.
You like writing like this?
In blunt facts?
Maybe your thing?
Who knows.
Thanks for your honesy,
Good luck on your Vamp series.
And your single award.
May there be many more for you.
Thanks =)
i liked that u have a good imagination
Thanks you!! I try. =)

Seattle Sounders forward Fredy Montero has undergone surgery on his injured wrist and is likely to miss this weekend's clash with San Jose Earthquakes.
The 23-year old Colombian attacker sustained the injury at training ahead of the March 19 clash with New York Red Bulls and the Sounders medical staff decided it was time to have the problem fixed.
"He's having surgery on his wrist," Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said. "It's something that they decided they felt they needed to do surgery on now. It's not something major, but it had to be done now because it could develop into something major if it wasn't taken care of.
"Now it's a question of, is he going to play on Saturday? There's a chance he could play Saturday; there's a chance he might not play Saturday.
"If he does miss Saturday, he'll be back for the following week for sure. It's not something that's going to keep him out very long. It's a little bit unsure as to whether he can play Saturday or not. It depends on how the surgery goes [on Thursday]."

Did you know that recent Government legislation, changing the Freedom of Information Acts, gives you access to speed camera offences registered within the last 12 months? These are placed on a freely accessible website. Every time your car goes just 1mph over the speed limit, it's registered and placed on the database. However, they only send a ticket if you are way over, OR (and here's the rub) if you receive 20 near misses. You can now check how many 'near misses' you have against your car's registered number: http://www.e-database.co.uk/

text: FOREST EUROPE Ministerial Conference – Tree planting with school children United Nations' International Year of Forest LEAF International (Learning about Forest) invites all schools to plant trees for a sustainable future in connection with the FOREST EUROPE Ministerial conference held in Oslo Norway on 14-16 June in the UN's international Year of Forests – 2011. This global campaign will run from April 15th to July 1st, and schools from around the world are invited to participate. FOREST EUROPE aims at visualising how we can secure our forests and their benefits for today's children and the generations to come through both significant decisions at the Ministerial Conference in Oslo and all activities linked to the conference. The tree planting project for school children plays a key role in this context. This event is a practical way of enhancing environmental and global education. It connects children all over the world to focus on forests as a way to fight climate change. The planting of trees symbolize hope and the continuity of life. The campaign increases awareness of climate change and the variety of ecosystems on the Earth. Trees can be seen as the lungs of the world and by increasing their number the entire Earth will benefit from it - also its inhabitants. How to get involved We hope that your school will participate in this campaign and use it as part of the schools teaching curriculum. Tree planting gives a perfect opportunity to spend a day outdoor and to discuss issues such as the photosynthesis, carbon cycle and biological diversity amongst other subjects. Register your school at www.leaf-international.org. Each participating school will receive a certificate for participation once a report is delivered. We urge everyone to contact local press to attract attention about the forest as the most cost effective CO2 cleansing machine in the world, and that your school participates in creating a better environment and helping fight climate change. Receiving this invitation means your country is participating in a worldwide network working for a sustainable future through environmental focused education. In the International Year of Forests we will make an extra effort and together with the European environmental ministers we will highlight the importance of forest by planting trees in the spring season of 2011. For more information contact: Mr. Bjørn Helge Bjørnstad, international coordinator LEAF email@example.com Ph: +47 61 14 82 00 (Norway) PREPARATIONS 1.

Red Velvetview more less of this reviewWe've attended several of these competitions here and this was the weakest.....teenagers may be talented but they were not up to the level of musicality expected here. The best group definitely won!
Quotes & Highlights
The A Cappella Festival was the inspiration for the hit NBC prime-time show The Sing-Off, which has brought even more interest to the art of a cappella singing.
Hosted by Boyz Nite Out
The year was 1995. Bill Clinton was the president of the United States, Tom Hanks won an Oscar for Forrest Gump and Boyz Nite Out had a great time competing in the Harmony Sweepstakes! From that beginning at the sweeps fifteen years ago Boyz Nite Out has had the opportunity to work with artists such as the Righteous Brothers, Michael McDonald, Jay Leno and the late great Ray Charles! They've released five full-length albums selling over 20,000 copies in the United States and Japan and have toured extensively throughout the United States performing for festivals, corporate and private events. After 15 years, 400 shows, 12 pitch pipes, dozens of national anthems, jingles and trips from to New York to Spain and from Miami to Marin, Boyz Nite Out is back where it all started.

Peat Fires Could Accelerate Climate Change
Published: February 20, 2012.Released by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council
In 1997, a forest fire in Indonesia ignited an area of peatlands that smouldered for months. By the time it was over, the fire had released greenhouse gases equal to 20 to 40 percent of the total worldwide emissions that year from fossil fuels. But that could be a drop in the bucket compared to future emissions from peat fires. Indonesian peatlands are dwarfed by Canada's. The total area of all peatland in Canada is estimated to be about twice the size of Saskatchewan.

Brand New 2011 wrx 5door
I just purchased A 2011 WRX 5 door. This is my first new car and first subaru. I was trying to figure out the best way to break in the vehicle so I do not experience problems down the road. After all the money I spent on the car (money well spent) I want to do it right. I kno I am not suppose to beat the hell out of it and redline it but someone said to not drive the car above 60mph which is hard since I drive the NJ Turnpike to work everyday. Just looking for some advice appreciate the responses
Google if you dont know for sure.
[url=http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/saturday-mechanic-blog/how-to-break-in-a-new-car]New Car Care How to Take Care of a New Car - Popular Mechanics[/url] |
The factory approved break-in procedure is in the owner's manual. So is a lot of other really good information.
And a lot of other people subscribe to the "get on it in short bursts" and don't over heat the rings/cylinder walls. But, the short bursts will still add enough heat to properly seal the rings on the pistons if you do it enough in small doses; like say a on-ramp.

- How to Read a Study Record
In this study, the investigators will examine whether left ventricular pacing is superior to right ventricular apical pacing in preventing deterioration of left ventricular systolic function and cardiac remodeling in patients with bradycardia with high risk for development of pacing-induced heart failure.
Condition | Intervention |
Complete AV Block Sick Sinus Syndrome |
Device: LV pacing Device: RV pacing |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Impact of Left Ventricular Pacing on Left Ventricular Systolic Function in High-risk Bradycardia Patients |
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (%) at 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Measured by modified Simpson's method
- Left ventricular end-systolic volume (ml) at 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Measured by modified Simpson method
- Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (ml) at 12 months [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Measured by modified Simpson method
- NYHA functional class [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Functional capacity [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]measured by treadmill test
- Quality of life [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]measured by SF-36v2
- NT-proBNP [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]plasma level
Estimated Enrollment: | 98 |
Study Start Date: | April 2010 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 2019 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | December 2019 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Active Comparator: Right ventricular pacing |
Device: RV pacing
The right ventricular lead are positioned at the right ventricular apex.
Experimental: Left ventricular pacing |
Device: LV pacing
The left ventricular lead are positioned preferentially at the posterolateral or lateral venous branches of the coronary sinus.
Detailed Description:
In this prospective, we will randomly assign 98 patients who need permanent pacemaker due to complete atrioventricular block or sick sinus syndrome to receive left ventricular pacing (49 patients) or right ventricular apical pacing (49 patients). Patients will be paced with temporary pacemaker lead, and only those with paced QRS duration ≥185 ms will be enrolled.
The primary endpoint is left ventricular ejection fraction measured by modified Simpson method at 12 months. The secondary end points include left ventricular systolic end-systolic and diastolic volume, LV strain, NYHA functional class, exercise performance (using treadmill test), quality of life (using SF-36v2), NT-proBNP at 12 months.
Ages Eligible for Study: | up to 80 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Sinus-node dysfunction or bradycardia due to advanced atrioventricular block
- Paced QRS duration ≥185 ms
Exclusion Criteria:
- Left ventricular ejection fraction < 50 %
- Acute coronary syndrome
- If they had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary-artery bypass surgery within the previous 3 months
- if they had a life expectancy of less than 1 year
- if they had received a heart transplant

CrossFit Intro
3rd Intro to CrossFit Class. We learned power cleans, squat and press. We then did a mini WoD. On the minute every minute for 7 minutes: 2 power cleans, 4 box jumps/push ups/30yd sprint, alternating box jumps and pushups each minute. Kicked my derriere. Can't wait for a real WoD.
