Bipolar Clinical Trials
Bipolar Disorder Treatment & Medication Clinical Studies
Bipolar Disorder is a serious medical illness that affects between 4 to 6 million Americans each year. Bipolar Disorder can significantly impair a person's quality of life and ability to function in work, social and family relationships. It can lead to impaired behavior, judgment and physical health. As its name implies, Bipolar Disorder has 2 phases, a "high," hyper or very irritable phase, and a depressed phase, where sufferers often feel an overwhelming sense of sadness, helplessness, hopelessness and despair.
These symptoms can negatively affect relationships with family and friends and impact job performance. Scientists have learned that Bipolar Disorder is usually caused by a brain biochemical imbalance, which is often treatable with medications.
If you or someone you know suffers from symptoms of Bipolar Disorder, you may qualify for one of our NO COST research studies. Our studies offer study-related medical evaluations and study-related medication.
The test below may help you assess if you may suffer from Bipolar Disorder in the high, hyper or irritable phase. Answer yes / no.

Buying a House? Your Parents Might Want to Help
People buying a house who can't get a loan the traditional way are sometimes tapping a less conventional source: their parents.
People buying a house who can't get a loan the traditional way are sometimes tapping a less conventional source: their parents.
It's usually everyone else's kids who are spoiled (never our own), but a new Parents.com survey reveals that moms and dads are admitting they have a problem when it comes to spoiling their kids during the holidays.
A new study by the San Francisco-based non-profit group Common Sense Media found that affluent parents download apps specifically for their young children more than parents of lesser financial means do.
Deemed the "app gap," researchers found almost half of families with incomes above $75,000 had downloaded such apps, compared with only one in eight families earning less than $30,000. Lower-income families were also more likely to have televisions in their kids' bedrooms.
Naming a child is usually the first big decision a new parent makes, and one that almost one and ten would like to do be able to do again.
Citing evidence such as birthday cards that contained no money and a lack of care packages when they were away at college, Steven Miner, 23, and Kathryn Miner, 20, tried to sue the woman who brought them into the world for being "negligent" and causing them "emotional distress."
Reports continue to warn us about the obesity epidemic in America and many of those reports are about our unhealthy kids. While it might seem impossible to turn this thing around, there are just a few simple things that need to be changed in order for the health of families all across the country to improve.
If you're a parent, this poll will probably amuse you. Kids ages six to fifteen were asked who they prefer to drive with. Do you think they picked Mom or is Dad their favorite behind the wheel?

Microsat programs like UoSat-12 by Surrey Satellite Technology are benefiting from lower cost navigation systems that rely on the GPS network
ESA has helped develop two new GPS (Global Positioning System) space receivers, the TOPSTAR 3000 in conjunction with the French-based company Alcatel and the SGR in collaboration with Surrey Satellite Technology in the UK.
Both receivers will bring more accurate, affordable satellite tracking to the commercial user. The TOPSTAR 3000 is designed for telecommunication and observation commercial missions with strong reliability requirements, and the SGR is ideal for use with the smallest type of satellites, weighing from a few hundred to just 5 kg.
Already, the world's ground-based communication networks -- such as sea navigation, air traffic management and various forms of mobile communication -- rely on the accuracy of GPS, a constellation of 24 United States satellites which transmit signals from an altitude of 20 000 km to small receivers on Earth.
Now, the precise position and orientation of low-Earth orbiting satellites travelling just 650 km above the Earth's surface can also be determined using GPS data through the new generation of space GPS receivers.
"These small satellites are travelling at speeds of 7.5 km per second, so tracking can be a difficult and tricky business," says Dr Martin Unwin, of the Surrey Space Centre, who has worked closely with ESA on the SGR project.
"Low-Earth orbiting satellites are used in a multitude of applications, from high resolution photographic monitoring of the Earth's surface to scientific and remote sensing experiments,and experimental communication systems in remote areas."
Most big satellite users and operators rely on a network of ground stations which bounce signals back and forth to determine position and orientation, or they use tracking data that originate from the US Space Command tracking facilities.
"The new space receivers will mean that the monitoring of satellites will become easier and cheaper for smaller operators," says Dr Unwin.
The SGR and TOPSTAR 3000 can both use multiple antennae, a feature that puts them at the forefront in a new league of GPS space receivers and allows the calculation not only of the orbital location but also of the orientation of the satellite (often referred to as the satellite's attitude).
Experimental and commercial missions have already been carried out for the receivers in both low and geostationary orbits. The TOPSTAR 3000 has been delivered to the STENTOR programme (a French space agency project for advanced research in space technology) for use in geostationary orbit as well as several commercial observation missions in low Earth orbits from 400 to 1400 km.
The SGR has successfully used GPS data to control and correct the orbit of the UoSat 12 mission and is due to go through experimental procedures on board ESA's Proba mission due for launch in the second half of 2001.
The attitude determination capabilities of the new receivers will be of particular importance to future science and remote sensing missions, where it is important to know exact orientation to achieve accurate scientific measurements.
Satellites carrying cameras will also benefit. "For example, a discrepancy of just one degree in attitude can throw a satellite off its target on Earth by about 14 km -- obviously the difference between the success and failure of any commercial satellite based system," added Dr Unwin.

Housing policies
Room changes
Students living in residence halls may request room changes through MySCAD beginning the first business day of the second week after the start of the quarter. Mediation and/or a meeting with the residence director may be required before the room change is approved. Room change requests are granted based on availability and may be limited during the final two weeks of each quarter. If a student changes rooms before executing the proper paperwork, a fee may be assessed, the move may be denied and/or a student conduct hearing may be required.
Room consolidation
Due to the high demand for student housing, SCAD reserves the right to consolidate spaces to accommodate the housing needs of all students requesting housing. If consolidation is necessary, residence life and housing staff members provide necessary information including the date of the move, the new location and the name of the student's new roommate(s).
Common billing
If damage occurs in common areas such as lounges and hallways and the responsible parties are not identified, all residents of the wing, floor or hall are normally billed for the cost of repairs and/or replacement of damaged items. The residence director works with the students and staff to determine, if possible, who is responsible for the damage. If the bill is to be divided among residents, the staff notifies those residents of the cost per person.
Break closings and storage
Residence hall rooms are occupied and vacated according to schedules published by the office of residence life and housing. During winter break, all residence halls are closed and occupancy is limited. The academic calendar lists annual dates of winter break. Students may leave their belongings in their rooms; however, they are encouraged to take their valuables home. Dining halls are closed and SCAD transportation is unavailable during the winter break. The halls remain open during spring break, but overnight guests are not permitted. Move-out dates fall at the end of the academic year in May and at the end of the summer quarter in August. On-campus storage space is not available to students. Off-campus storage is available through a rental program with Campus Carriers and provides pickup and delivery services.
Nine-month continuous housing is offered on a limited basis for students who need housing during nine continuous months (September-May). This option is only available for continuing, graduate and transfer students living in Spring House in Atlanta or The Terrace in Savannah and is not transferable to other students. The option must be selected as a condition to live in a designated area of the selected building; students may not choose this option after assignments have been made. Students who are interested in this option or would like more information should email the residence life and housing office at their location, Atlanta, Hong Kong or Savannah.
Personal property insurance
As with any housing rental agreement relationship, students and their parents are strongly encouraged to purchase insurance against loss or damage of personal property. SCAD is not responsible for the loss or damage of personal property in student rooms. For more information, see the housing license agreement.
Maintenance and housekeeping
Students are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of their own rooms and bathrooms. Gold Coast Management provides weekly housekeeping services to individual apartments for students in Hong Kong. The university maintenance and housekeeping staff provides a variety of functions to help maintain a clean, safe and comfortable environment for students living at SCAD. The staff is responsible for the general maintenance and cleanliness of the hallways and common areas of the residence halls.
Drug and alcohol policy
The Savannah College of Art and Design is in full compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendment of 1989 (Public Law 101-226), 49 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 40: Procedures for Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing; 49 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 382: Controlled Substances and Alcohol Use and Testing and the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 and is committed to a program that discourages the illegal use and abuse of alcohol and controlled substances by students and employees. In addition, the possession and consumption of alcohol on campus is not permitted, regardless of age.
SCAD prohibits the unlawful possession, use, manufacture, distribution or dispensing of alcohol or controlled substances by students or employees in college buildings, on grounds or property, or as part of any college activity. Any full- or part-time student or employee found to be in violation of said policy is subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the policies and laws of the college, the city of Atlanta or Savannah, the state of Georgia, the government of Hong Kong and the U.S. federal government.
Pets are not permitted in any residence hall. Freshwater non-flesh-eating fish and approved assistance living animals are the only exceptions to this policy. However, fish must be kept in a properly maintained aquarium of 10 gallons or less.
Smoke-free environment
Smoking is prohibited in all college buildings and throughout residence halls including rooms, courtyards and pool areas.
Electrical outlets
A limited number of electrical outlets exist in each room. You may not alter these for any reason. You may plug no more than two devices into a double electrical outlet at any time. Only one UL power-strip extension cord no longer than six feet with built-in circuit breakers is allowed per resident. Ensure the UL code is visible on the plastic of the power strip. Residence life and housing may approve longer cords based on the needs and design of the building. You may not plug power strips into other power strips. These are the only extension cords allowed in residence halls. Non-UL power strip extension cords of any kind, multi-plug adapters and surge protectors are prohibited.
Prohibited appliances include, but are not limited to, sun/heat lamps, heaters, toaster ovens, individual microwave ovens and hot plates.
For D at The Hive, H at The Hive, Montgomery House, Oglethorpe House, Spring House, Turner House, Turner Annex and W at The Hive, microwaves are permitted as part of the MicroFridge® with Safe Plug® rental program through Collegiate Concepts and may not exceed the maximum number of units in the room.
Microwaves are provided in individual apartments in Barnard Village, Boundary Village, Hong Kong Gold Coast Residences, Pulaski House and The Terrace. In ACA House only, student are permitted to bring their own microwave and are limited to one microwave per apartment. To accommodate multiple appliances, students in all residence hall facilities are allowed one UL approved six-foot surge protector extension strip per student. Appliances permitted in residence hall rooms include personal computers, radios, fans, electric blankets, clocks, blow dryers, stereos, televisions, DVD players, video game consoles, coffee makers with automatic shutoff and compact refrigerators up to 4.4 cubic feet.
Visitation policy
Visitation hours in the residence halls are 9 a.m. to 2 a.m., seven days a week. Residents are responsible for their guests' behavior. All guests must be escorted out of the residence halls by the end of visitation hours.
Overnight guests
Overnight guests (same sex) may stay a maximum of three consecutive nights and may not return for an overnight stay for at least five days thereafter. Students must obtain an approved overnight guest pass prior to their guest's arrival. The pass must be signed and turned in to the residence life and housing office a minimum of 24 hours in advance. The form must be submitted during regular office hours. Overnight guests are not permitted during winter or spring breaks.

Support the hospital with a donation that helps kids get the care they need.
The EAT Program at Boston Children's is the only center in the world dedicated to using a highly advanced surgical technique, known as the Foker process, to treat cases of long-gap esophageal atresia (EA), and related problems such as extensive strictures in the esophagus or esophageal leaks following prior surgery.
Using the Foker process, our surgeons place small sutures in the disconnected or damaged ends of the esophagus and add small amounts of tension to those sutures daily. Over time, the tension stimulates the esophageal ends to grow longer and the two ends eventually grow closer together. The ends are then surgically connected to restore esophageal continuity. Though the esophageal muscle may not contract normally, the native esophagus may serve a child better long term than other organs or parts of organs that are sometimes used to replace the esophagus, such as the stomach, intestine or colon.
For the Foker process to be successful, patients need to be motionless during the time the esophagus is being stretched, because excessive motion might pull out the sutures. This requires the infants or children be given medications to keep them still. During this time, they stay in the intensive care unit on a ventilator (breathing machine). Repeat cases, in which the esophageal ends may take much longer to stretch, can require children to be sedated and motionless for weeks or months, giving the esophagus ends time to grow. It is not fully understood at this time whether such prolonged sedation has any long-term adverse impact on the infants and children. We know that decreased motion does make the bones weaker and more susceptible to fractures.
The Foker process can be performed on children as small as 7 pounds (3.5 kg), and it takes anywhere from several weeks to several months to complete, depending on the severity of the condition. Because the process allows the patient to grow his/her own esophagus, surgically transplanting other parts of the digestive tract, like the colon, is unneeded. This approach may also reduce the risk of infection, eating difficulties and malnutrition.
Unlike traditional treatments, which require large incisions on the abdomen as well as the neck and chest, the Foker process is done through an opening on the right side of the chest, which means that patients end up with fewer and smaller scars. Although repeated entries into the chest may increase the risk of scoliosis (curvature of the spine) in some children as they grow.
Finding the proper treatment to address your child's long-gap EA will depend on many factors. As is the case with all surgeries, many variables must be taken into consideration before a treatment plan is finalized; and as a parent, you will play a vital role in making those decisions. If you are weighing treatment options for your child with long-gap EA we encourage you to speak with a medical professional who can clearly explain all the options to you. For further details about how long-gap EA is treated at Boston Children's, we invite you to call 617-355-3529 and speak with one of our experts.
The Foker process works best when used as the initial treatment. It can sometimes be used after other long-gap EA treatments, such as colonic interposition or a gastric pull-up have failed, but experience has shown that this is not ideal. To further understand the benefits of having the Foker process before other treatments, see the internal outcomes chart below.
Our clinical results demonstrate the stark difference between the outcomes for children who have their first procedure for long-gap EA at our institution and those who have had initial surgery for long-gap EA elsewhere. Patients also often have other congenital abnormalities, such as heart and kidney problems, that may further complicate their care.

Leaks have also occurred from where the esophagus is connected in 7 patients (26%) in the primary and 17 (68%) in the secondary patients. The leaks have healed in some cases and in others they have required additional procedures which accounts for the high number of thoracotomies in some patients.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

" Brand: Urban Decay / Type: Eyeshadow palette with eyeliner pencil "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Urban Decay
Vegan Palette
I have been enjoying using Urban Decay's 'animal friendly' products for a while now and have powders, eye liner and eye make up which is really good. I discovered this brand when I was researching 'cruelty free' cosmetic options and boy have I appreciated this brand. Never before have I had such dramatic and amazing finishes to my make up application. This palette is something that I have wanted for ages but it was going to have to be a treat as it was £27.00 - mum bought it me for christmas but it was on offer on the 3 for 2 cosmetics offer at Boots so that worked out alot cheaper.
The palette is suitable for vegans as you would expect with it being titled as a 'vegan' palette - the marley's paw (a symbol of a purple paw print that identifies vegan items online and in the staff Urban Decay handbook instore) has been removed temporarily because the eyeshadow primer, that comes in a free trial size, has had a ingredient that comes from wool called Lanolate added to the product - they have quickly identified this and put a notice on the website. All the eyeshadows and eyeliner are fine for vegans it is just the primer and they say to give it away to a non vegan friend. The problem should be resolved in the near future and at least they have been honest to their valued vegan customers.
The palette is very well presented and has minimal and non fussy packaging that is easy to remove. The design of the palette is creative and appealing, it looks quality and is tough so will withstand a drop or two. It includes a good sized mirror inside the upper flap and is compact for ease of use when travelling too. Easily packed away in a bag or case.
Six of the most popular and gorgeous mix and match colours are presented in this handy box. They are three neutral shades and three sparkly and adventurous colours.
Twice Baked, Half Baked, Smog are the neutral and range from a lovely light golden creamy colour to a real dark diva smokey eyed brown - these apply so easily I cannot believe it. They are so creamy and moisturising and create a gorgeous base or complete look - really dramatic if you like and I do at times so this is fabulous.
Minx, Urb and Gunmetal are your fun and sparkly numbers - so far I have experimented with these under my eyes as a liner and they apply so easily - this is impressive and a first for me as I have tried to apply colour and create a glam effect so many times and failed and then on my very first attempt and I must say without putting much thought or effort in to the application I had this amazing look - these eye shadows are quality and with the shades in the palette you have so many options for a multitude of effects, I am excited and can't wait to try out different ways of applying.
Also included in this palette is a travel sized eyeliner in black which is the very popular 24/7 variety. Now I have already got one of these but will certainly not refuse another as this is a favourite of mine. This has vitamin E included in the ingredients and is becoming ever more well known and popular because of its ease of application which is ultra smooth - no dragging with this pencil. The effects are gorgeous and in my experience it does what it says and lasts all day and into the night. I have not needed to reapply at any time - now that is good!
The eye primer is a wonderful product and ensures an all day crease free look on your eye lids - this will be a welcome item once fully vegan but for any one who is not vegan you will love it - it works!
I am really impressed with this product and with this company who strive to produce a top quality range of beautiful cosmetics that work and compliment your complexion (Razor Sharp Powder for a photo ready finish is another top product that I wouldn't be without) and they do all this whilst avoiding harming any animals and even cater for vegans!
Available from Boots and online at Urban Decay - plus other places online if you google it.
Price approximately £27.00 depending on where you buy from. Look out for the 3 for 2 offers at Boots as that will work out lots cheaper for you.
Would I recommend this product - most certainly yes. It is a handy and compact palette full of a great range of base and jazzy shades of eye makeup and includes one of their best products in my opinion - the 24/7 eye pencil. There is an eye primer potion included but this is not vegan friendly at this time - apologies via the Urban Decay website. Not just for vegans! Anyone will enjoy this palette and we are worth it.
Thank you for reading.

Student loves dancing, healing others
Kimberlyn Garcia, a senior at Westside High School in Houston, loves to dance.
"I mostly do modern and contemporary dance," she said. "It's a way of showing my feelings, who I am."
The prospect of being one of the first students to dance into the University of Houston-Victoria as a freshman got her attention when she first saw a brochure.
"I'm going to be a pioneer student for all of the rest of the generations to come," she said.
Garcia plans to major in biology and eventually go to medical school.
"I've been dreaming of becoming a doctor ever since I was 7," she said, noting she wants to be a pediatrician and help children suffering from diseases.
Along with dancing, she's a member of the Health Occupation Students of America, an organization for students going into healthcare. Students attend conferences and competitions.
The University of Houston-Victoria, located in the heart of the Coastal Bend region, offers courses leading to more than 65 bachelor's and master's degree
programs and concentrations in the schools of Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Education & Human Development, and Nursing. UHV provides face-to-face
classes at its Victoria campus as well as teaching sites in Fort Bend and Harris counties, and online classes that students can take from anywhere. Since its
founding in 1973, UHV has provided students with a quality university education from excellent faculty at an affordable price.

Fred Leicester: Sorry, Sir Pete, but…
Posted: August 19, 2014|
I was going to write something a few months ago, a column apologising to Leicester Mayor, Peter Soulsby.
I'd got it all wrong, I thought. It happens, occasionally. When it does, for all my faults - and it's a long list - if I'm wrong, I don't mind holding my hands up and admitting it.
Now, though, I'm not so sure.
Let's begin at the start. January, 2014 and Sir Pete announces that the council is going to demolish Belgrave Road flyover. It has been on the cards for a while - ever since it became clear that someone else, someone who wasn't the council, might pay for it.
And now it was happening. In quiet moments, I swear you could hear the motorists of Leicester - a hard-pressed and growing band, despite all those bus lanes and park and ride sites - groaning in unison.
They knew what it meant. It meant chaos. They had endured their fair share of chaos in 2013: roadworks all around Fosse park, queues on the Aylestone Road, queues at the Newarke, congestion in and around Frog Island, and then just the routine, run-of-the-mill chaos that has made Leicester one of the most congested cities not just in the UK, but in the world. We all hoped 2014 might be better.
So the flyover came down. And the queues got longer. Of course the queues got longer. If someone had given me a £1 for every minute I sat in tailbacks on or near or because of the work at Belgrave Flyover, I could afford to have next month off work. I could just sit by the River Soar, fishing, and drinking Red Stripe.
But the truth is this: it wasn't *quite* as bad as we all feared. Not all the time. It was bad, still. And sometimes it was awful. And sometimes, it was awful everywhere else because it was awful here.
But we got on with it, the down-trodden drivers of Leicester. We're good at that. We're well drilled in that area.
And then, when the flyover came down and the dust had settled and they'd tidied up a bit and if you could see it amid the snarling traffic queues, it did look better.
It really did. Everything looked greener, clearer, more open, spacious. Look, there's a pub. I'd missed that. It was just better.
It's still clearly bunkum to talk about how the removal of the flyover will 'improve links' with Belgrave Road; how it has 'removed the barrier' to that part of the city, as if the flyover was a wall of razor wire keeping people away.
It wasn't. Demolishing a flyover which carried 34,000 vehicles a day will not bring those two places closer together. They are still EXACTLY THE SAME DISTANCE AWAY.
There were three main reasons the flyover was demolished.
1. It was ugly. It was a remnant of the kind of 1970s architecture which still blights Leicester. No-one seems to dislike that as much as Sir Pete.
2. It was showing its age. It probably needed expensive repairs. Did the council want to spend a lot of money re-inforcing something they wanted to knock down? What do you reckon?
3. And Sainsbury's were paying. This is the most important reason.
The bill to remove the flyover is approximately £4 million. Sainsbury's are footing that bill, however - not the council.
It's called a Section 106 agreement. It's a murky old world, and some might say - not me, heavens forfend - that it looks like bribery.
This is how it works. A builder wants to construct a new housing estate. The council isn't sure. "Give us permission to build this new housing estate – and we'll build you a shiny new community building."
That's a section 106 agreement. In council speak, they call it 'planning gain'.
So Sainsbury's landed planning permission for their new Troon Way store in Thurmaston store - and, in return, they agreed to remove the flyover. It's all perfectly legal, if morally questionable. Everyone's a winner, except, perhaps, those unlucky enough to drive that way into town. Harrumph.
But even I could see it did look better. And that's something isn't it? Maybe I was wrong about this, I thought, as I inched my way into work, day after tedious day. I could see Pete's vision.
People write to me on a regular basis imploring me to write about the Mayor in less-than-glowing terms. Bloody Pete this, they say, and Pete that.
But the truth is, apart from his alarming blind spot about the people who need to drive in to Leicester, I think he's all right.
I think, by and large, he's doing a decent job. I think he's in it for the right reasons and even if it's true that he wants to leave a Peter Soulsby-sized legacy in his adopted city, that people will look back on his time as Mayor and say: "That Soulsby - he was all right wasn't he?" I don't mind that, either. We're all winners if that happens.
And then the news broke last week: the revamp of Belgrave Circle will over-run by six months. They've found some pipes and cables under there, apparently.
"Belgrave Circle is not only a major traffic junction but a major utilities junction," said a council highways chap, who was left to face this up.
Blow me down. Fancy that. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT?
The news came via a council press release, pinged over late on Friday afternoon. The crucial bit about the six month over-run? Yeah, that was tucked neatly away in the 11th paragraph.
You might think they were trying to hide it. But not me. No, sirree.
So the work limps on. Another six months. Another six months of ulcer-growing, pile-itching, teeth-grinding, effing and jeffing traffic chaos.
Pete says the rest of the work will be done with the same 'minimum disruption to motorists.' And as I read that, a pig flew past my window.
Six months over time. SIX MONTHS. How can they get it so wrong? They're not just a little bit out. They're 100 per cent out. It was supposed be done in six months. The contract programme has doubled.
It wouldn't be quite so bad if, when you passed the Belgrave Circle, it was a hive of jack hammer-wielding workers. But you can't. It is anything but that.
Many, many years ago, I used to work for a building company. On every job I worked on there would be a contract programme blu-tacked to the walls of the office.
This is how it would work: foundations, brickwork, 1st fix, 2nd fix, handover, done. If you missed those deadlines, there were fines and rollockings and financial penalties.
Here? It's just a shrug of the shoulders, a press release sent out at 3pm on a Friday with the real news buried in the 11th paragraph and a vague promise there'll be 'minimum disruption to motorists.' Is that good enough? I'd argue it isn't.
And you know the worst thing in all of this. I suspect Sir Pete is casting a watchful eye over Burley's Flyover. I wonder how long that will last?
If that goes and he continues narrowing the ring road at the rate he has been doing - while, at the same time, reducing funding to the park and ride sites - you'll only be able to get into Leicester on roller skates.

The zpacks Exo, is light and tough and just the right size. I have a 6lb baseweight but with food and 3 liters of water, I end up carrying about 18lbs which the Exo handles with ease. It has a great suspension and can carry 30 lbs with or without the frame because it's narrow and keeps the load near your back. The stays are removable. I had been using a blast but needed a tougher material for bushwacking. The Exo has a tougher fabric. The hydration port is in the center and allows you to use it on either side. The hipbelt isn't cushy but it does it's job; putting the weight on my hips. If used with the stays then I have no weight on my shoulders and they are wide enough apart that the stays never touch my back. I like the color. People on the trail used to stop me when I carried the blast and after awhile the novelty wore off. With the Exo, I'm ultralight but I blend in and can just enjoy the hike. The rolltop closure has tabs which help opening the velcro. The pack is well designed and has many fine features. I like that it is narrow and wide.I've owned or tried almost every pack the cottage industry puts out and this is my goto backpack.I did notice the bottom of the hipbelt had frayed a bit (about the size of a fingernail) after using it over the summer on about 4 trips, I patched it and no longer sit on the rocks with it on but it's light I almost don't need to take it off.Exo - 3,000 cu in (50 Liters) - 12.8 ounces.Zpacks Exo next to Nimbus OzoneWhen I need to go for a longer trip use the two outside pockets to hold two long thermarest stuff sacks of gear, bumping the cu inches up closer to 65 liters.Zpacks Exo along side HMG PorterLooking inside an Exo with a bear canister bearicade weekender and a MLD Klymet pad for a smooth back.with the front Pocket filled.The frame on this pack did eventually break but I sent it to Joe and he converted the pack into a Blast with stays and I'm still using it.

Lincoln's Future Includes No RWD or V-8s, C-Segment Compact at Detroit
Not my style...
I'm impressed by the continuity of the design, especially with differently colored wheels. Much nicer than any of the gaudy color schemes on some SS models.
I'm not even a mathematical geek but I love this paintjob. It's similar to what Ken Block did on his old Subaru STI hatchback with the DC shoes words phasing into the next color of the paintjob.
Personally I feel this Bugatti is done with more taste, but nevertheless, I'm loving this style.

Clondalkin Group company Nyco has launched a low-density Polyolefin sleeve which the company says vastly improves recycling efficiency. The new low-density Polyolefin sleeve now makes it possible to separate shrink sleeves from PET bottles or cups by automated recycling processes.
The newly introduced material has excellent machinability, flatness and high tensile strength. The material can be stored at room temperature, which is another distinct advantage over many more traditional sleeve materials. As with all of the products available from Nyco, the polyolefin sleeve can be printed Rotogravure, UV Flexo and UV Offset. Nyco developed the sleeve in response to market demands for recyclable packaging.
Nyco Sales and Marketing Manager Sander Kool says, "We are very pleased to be able to offer this new product to the market. One of the main challenges in packaging today is to improve recyclability. This product is a great step forward. The material has a much lower density in comparison to PET which makes the automated separation process very easy thus increases recyclability and reduces waste to landfill."

Salt Lake City – Boart Longyear has been awarded a contract for the exploration drilling services at Escondida copper mine in the Atacama Desert of Northern Chile.
Minera Escondida is a mine site located about 105 miles southeast of Antofagasta, at an altitude of more than 10,000 feet. It is owned by BHP Billiton (57.5 percent), Rio Tinto (30 percent), JECO Corporation (10 percent) and JECO 2 Ltd. (2.5 percent). It is operated by BHP Billiton.
During the life of the contract, Boart Longyear will deploy at least 16 rigs at these sites and provide a variety of drilling techniques, including diamond coring (semi-automated hands-free), reverse circulation and rotary rigs for mine dewatering.
"Being selected by Minera Escondida to do their exploration work is an honor for the local team of drillers, helpers, and support personnel to prove on a daily basis that we can deliver safe meters to one of the world's top miners," said Scott Whitt, general manager of drilling services in Latin America for Boart Longyear.

Honesty is the Best Poetry.
Truth: I have been trying to write this piece for weeks now.
I started it in a blur of inspiration and then other things pulled me away and I saved it in drafts, having returned to it every day, for the past five with an overwhelming feeling of stuck.
Just this moment, this very moment, has the creative spark begun to crackle.
Suddenly, the words are flowing and despite the fact that my love is talking to me, measuring my desk and my office, to see if it's a enough space to put together a dining table for (Canadian) Thanksgiving which we are hosting in two days, I can't stop writing.
Here is when my wave of inspiration washed over me:
I took my dog into the backyard (after asking him to wait while I finished editing this…oh no, just five more minutes, while I edit that…oh, buddy, can you hold on, and I promise in two minutes, we'll go out); the raindrops had started to fall gently from the sky…a surprise to me, as I didn't hear them through the open windows in the house.
Winston began to run back and forth in the yard…now, this isn't a an unusual occurence…in fact, it happens most days. What makes this moment so different from any other is that the rain was coming down, harder now…and there he was running, back and forth, galloping even, in the rain.
He hates rain.
He hates anything that comes from above; raindrops, water over his head when I give him a bath and of course, those unfortunate one-of moments, when a treat bag falls off the top of the fridge and hits him in the head.
But rain…he despises rain; it can take ten minutes (to half an hour) to convince him to get off of the front porch, when it's raining out. No amount of coaxing with treats and a giant umbrella can get him moving.
So there he was, running back and forth, in the rain—and I can almost feel him smiling in the dark, as he danced around—and I hear this sound and I realize it's me, laughing, loudly, as I watch this expression of pure joy and movement and breath and glee.
I am laughing.
The sound of me laughing, out loud, into the night air and around me I can feel the trees and the plants and the moon basking in this sound.
And it reminded me of this sign I saw once, not long ago, written in the grass between two highways.
It said:
My heart just about burst open and I wanted to find the person who put it together and hug them for all eternity. Because, let's be honest…telling the truth is hard.
Sometimes, telling the truth is so hard that we even hide it from ourselves.
In my moment of laughter, when I could feel everything around me respond to the sound that was moving out of my body, I recognized how little I have heard myself laugh, for I don't know how long.
I could see the truth of myself and how laughter and relaxing and taking it slow are all things that seemed to have dropped off of my radar.
I could feel (although this I already know this to be true) how our bodies become storage containers for our secrets; we shove our truths down, collecting them in our hips or gathering them as tension around our necks; we build a wall of busy around us, making more time for everything else and less time for the things (and people) that really matter to the most.
And because busy is loud and crass (and sometimes, makes us feel really important), it's easy to believe that busy is telling us the truth.
We're busy, so that's good, right?
Confession: I've been living in a busy bubble for some time now. Nothing makes me feel happier (and safer) then looking at my jam-packed schedule, full of teaching opportunities and workshops and hours upon hours of editing, add in time to practice yoga and time to write and time to keep the house clean and time for all those little odds and ends that somehow appear…and suddenly, time is gone (snap!) just like that.
And lately, I've been more of a yes-woman than a no-woman.
Some days, I wake up at 4:45 in the morning and don't crawl into bed until eleven or twelve at night; with all the talk about Fifty Shades of Grey, you would think that maybe it would keep me awake—alas, I've been trying to read the book for weeks but can't stay awake for a longer than a paragraph or two (and even then I'm convinced I'm reading the same thing over and over again).
I'm not sure if it's the world around me that has picked up in speed or if it's just me and my recent big-mug-of-earl-grey-tea-a-day habit (okay, maybe two) that keeps me vibrating at a rapid pace.
I am moving fast and I am busy…and in the midst of this frenzy, I have disconnected from the world around me.
I have allowed my truths to pile up, unexamined and abandoned, blocking the corners of my heart, keeping me from actually feeling anything.
I can teach a class and spread love and stack precious, beautiful bones and encourage breath and hold space; but when it comes to my own love and my own bones and my own breath and my own heart, it's like we are strangers, passing each other in the night; while I can find compassion and truth in the context of a class, once I leave that sacred space, my mind starts spinning in circles.
So, what is the truth of my busy?
Yes, everything has to get done—and I love, love that I get to do so many of the things that I love to do…but what's up with the speed?
Why I am so busy being busy that I leave my love and my friends and my family and myself as the last things on my to-do list?
Part of living a life that allows you to exist within your passion is that you get to include everything you love within it.
Being busy is good; allowing busy to become the thing that distracts you from everything else, however, not so good.
If I am honest with myself, I can see that my busy has become a distraction from the troubles in my heart; in my relationships, in how I relate to the world.
Busy has become my defense against difficult feelings that are hidden, deep down inside, that are now pushing their way to the surface.
Busy is my safety net, allowing me to distance myself from the people I love most, living so lightly within these relationships that my feet are barely on the ground.
Busy has taken over, tucking me under her wing, keeping me safe until I am ready to face myself again.
Busy has done her very best, to hide the truth of exhaustion that has settled into my soul.
If I keep moving, the world keeps moving.
Truth: I don't know what happens if I stop moving.
Hey, honesty—I see you; truth…I see you too.
I see you and I acknowledge you and I know that it's time to slow down.
Maybe even to the point of stillness…yes, definitely to the point of stillness…so that I can tune into your melody and listen, truly listen, to the messages you have for me.
I know that the beating of my heart in my chest is asking me to stop and listen.
Like elephant I'm not "Spiritual." I just practice being a good person on Facebook.

At Mountain States Health Alliance, we encourage and support breastfeeding. Our team of physicians, staff nurses, certified lactation counselors and consultants will help you and your baby get off to a good start.
Each Family Birth Center at Mountain States Health Alliance offers breastfeeding prenatal classes. The Breastfeeding Basics class will help you understand the process of lactation and will give you the education and empowerment you need to meet your breastfeeding goals. Each of our classes is taught by certified lactation consultants.
We are only a phone call away for when a friendly word of support can make all the difference. Call us at 1-800-888-5551.
Are you a working mom? You are not alone! More than half of today's mothers return to work while their babies are small. In the prenatal breastfeeding class, information and discussion are provided to ensure a smoother transition back to work. Special concerns
of the employed mother include day care options, household organization and expression/storage of mother's milk. Full and partial breastfeeding options are discussed.
Breast pumps are demonstrated with discussion of the advantages of each. Information on obtaining pumps will be offered at your request.
Anytime the baby shows signs of hunger (sucking on hands, licking lips, rooting) the mother should attempt to breast-feed. Some newborns breast-feed more frequently than others, and some newborns feed several times in a row, also known as "cluster feeding." This is very normal breast-feeding behavior.
Breast-feed as long as the baby desires. The feeding is over when the baby no longer actively breast-feeds even when stimulating or tickling the baby. To detach the baby, place a clean finger into the corner of the baby's mouth to break the suction. Please remember to be patient with breastfeeding progress - it will become easier with continued patience and time.

Ashlee Simposon was spotted alongside celebs like Anna Faris, Anna Kendrick and Odette Annable at the Samsung Galaxy S III launch party that was held in LA on June 21. For her soiree ensemble, Ashlee chose a bright look consisting of Haute Hippie pieces, including a polka dot blouse and a pair of printed shorts. A pair of nude strappy wedges, hoop earrings, and a bronze clutch completed AS' outfit. To emulate this look for a summertime soiree of your own, pick a pair of printed shorts (like Gypsy 05's Asphalt Short) and then wear with a bold and bright blouse. If you're liking the idea of polka dots, check out Free People's Button Down Polka Dot in Coral, otherwise Jenny Han's Drawstring Tie Blouse in Coral Space Die is similar to Ashlee's. A fab clutch (such as Zambos & Siega's Logan Clutch in Cognac) is the perfect finishing touch. What are your thoughts on Ashlee's look here, everyone - is it a winner or a loser in your eyes? Ashlee recently spoke out to Us Weekly about her sister Jessica's newborn tot, discussing how she envies the little one's wardrobe. Says Ashlee: "Maxwell is definitely spoiled! You should see her closet! I'm like, 'God I wish I had your closet!' Her closet is beautiful." Leave it to Jessica!

An Edgewater man has been arrested on charges of running an unlicensed body piercing business that led to customers developing staph infections, according to deputies.
Jason Stone, 43, the owner of Stoney's Ink Slab Tattoo Parlor, was investigated by deputies after complaints from a woman, who got a tattoo, and her 13-year-old daughter, who got a belly-button piercing, both ended up at the hospital with staph infections. The woman told deputies she's still being treated and was told by her doctor that she will have life-long problems from the infection.
Another complaint from back in 2006 alleged that Stone was allowing a 10-year-old boy to tattoo his clients, according to the release.
Stone is also facing drug charges after deputies found methamphetamine, heroin, alprazolam and hydrocodone at the business.
Stone will be booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach on Friday. His bond has been set at $30,000.

2011 arrived in a fairly quiet way. The evening had been wet at times but just an annoying drizzle. Everything was in place. The clocks had been put up the day before (Thursday) and set to the correct time, the barriers were set up as usual at 6pm. The marshals briefing had taken place and they were at their positions with fire extinguishers and radios where needed. The brochure distribution was well under way with teams of swingers helping to collect donations in exchange for this years edition. Some swingers were working the 'clickers' at these points, to monitor the numbers of spectators arriving for the police.
At 11.30pm the brochure distribution points pack up and the swingers take their fireballs down to the slipway for assembly, drenching and lighting. Despite a vital street light being out (after repeated phone calls to the lighting department) on the shorehead the assembly, drenching and lighting up process went ahead reasonably well.
On the stroke of Midnight the lead swinger, Alan Venters, lead off the ceremony walking behind the lone piper. 46 swingers followed Alan with their fireballs alight (some more than others!) to enthral the crowd of approx. 8000.
You may be aware that in 2008 we received a request from the popular BBC1's "Coast" to come along and do some potential filming for the programme. They attended and the filming began with Committee Secretary Susan Leiper wired up with the associated gubbins. She was paid £200 for her trouble which she promptly donated straight back to the Fireball coffers.
BBC1 have now been in touch to say that the programme will be aired on Wednesday 25th August 2010 at 8pm. So, if you cancel your yoga classes and put the golf on hold, you will see Susan get her two minutes of fame (literally!!). Remember though......the camera adds ten pounds!
It's very sad to report that George Emslie died on Wednesday 28th April 2010. George had been a Fireball Swinger for many years. His cheerie attitude to life and his pithy comments on the local scene will be sadly missed in the town.
George was never one to blow his own trumpet so we'll never know how many times he swung a fireball or when he started. He politely but steadfastly refused to give any detail to his swinging history but we do know that he took part in the ceremonies in '78, '79, '80, 91 & '93. It's enough to know that he supported the ceremony as much as he could.
It has been a double blow to the Fireballs Association to loose both brothers in less than three months.
Our information is that Jack first started swinging a fireball in 1948 and although he didn't swing every year after that he did manage to swing at 44 Hogmanays until he stopped after the 2000/1 event. In 2004 he took on the role of 'Official Starter' & 'Chief Paraffin Dispenser' to help organise the starting and lighting up part of the ceremony, which he did until 2010.
Among Jack's many interests The Fireballs were a strong subject that he promoted whenever he got the opportunity. Over the years he gave numerous interviews to reporters from TV, radio and newspapers about the history of the ceremony. He and his brothers, George and Bill helped keep the ceremony going when it looked as though it would die out through apathy. He used all his influence, when a councillor in the local area, to get the local authority to give the event as much support and help as it could to try and ensure that the ceremony would keep going.
If you want a good read about the Fire Festivals of Scotland then I can recomend 'Great Balls of Fire : A Year of Scottish Festivals' by Gary Sutherland (Birlinn). He covers most of the festivals & ceremonies and his style is great.
Something else to look out for is the December issue of Scottish Memories which also covers the fire festivals of Scotland.
The Fireball Ceremony for 2009 was an outstanding sucess. The weather was cold, though not freezing, and the wind was light. The crowd was large and enthusiastic. The combination pipe band (Stonehaven & Lathallan School) and the drumming group entertained the spectators from 11.00pm. Brochure and calendar sales/distribution went very well bringing in £2272.00 to help run the whole Hogmanay Festival.
Everything went according to the overall plans. There were no reported problems. The Fireworks went off at exactly the right moment - just after the last Fireball was thrown into the harbour at 00.25. The firework display was up to the standard we have come to expect - stunning!
The thousands of spectators in the harbour area who watched the firework display applauded loudly and long as the last firework died and seemed happy to stand around for quite a while after. However by 1am the whole High Street was swept clean and empty of people, barriers, bottles, plastic glasses, champagne corks, party poppers or cans. Credit must go to the Aberdeenshire Council workforce who come out every year and do so well.
Below are the names of the 47 swingers that made up the procession in 2009 with the number of times they have taken part before.
Pictures and videos of the 2008 Stonehaven Fireballs started to appear on the web very soon after the event was over. There are several videos on YouTube, with more being added all the time, and a really nice set of pictures courtesy of Gavin Shaw. If you have any pictures, videos, etc that you'd like to share, please do get in touch.
An ideal break in the weather allowed us to have an amazing Fireballs Ceremony for 2008. The rain stoped for the barrier setting out and then again it cleared from 9.30 untill after 1am. The total lack of wind also helped keep the evening feeling fairly mild. The huge turnout of spectators amazed all of us I think. I did not expect to see so many. The cars were parked up as far as the path into Forest Park off Mill 'o Forest Road. The Open Air In The Square organisers had noticed that their numbers were well up early on in the evening.
The lack of wind did have an adverse effect - the Fireballs took longer to burn out. There were more Swingers finishing in the 20-25 past midnight period this year. Last year most were done by 20 past. Quite a number of Swingers I spoke to were complaining of the effects of their exertions!
Thanks to Chairman Alan Venters and his team for another great event.
There were 46 swingers in total. The full list is attached. The press reports of 43 are my fault - poor accounting! On the accounting side, so far we know that the donations from the brochure distribution have raised £1638.00. This total may rise a little but even so it's great amount - nearly twice what we have raised in the past. Our costs have gone up this year though. Thanks to all who helped with the brochures - a fantastic effort.
We have had a good run on our DVDs, Tee & sweat shirts. Order yours NOW before stocks run out!

If you're looking for an all-conditions tire for your 29er, look no further than the Schwalbe Nobby Nic TL Ready Snakeskin 29. Its greatest attribute is its traction potential in wet or dry conditions, hardpack or loose marbles, or perfect loam. It's a real mountain tire that's prepared for the variability of epic rides.
The secret to optimizing the Nobby Nic's performance wherever possible with regards to grip, durability, and rolling resistance is Schwalbe's Pacestar Triple Compound rubber. Its cornering is outstanding thanks in part to the soft rubber compound and to the U-shaped tread blocks on the shoulders. They're angled 20 degrees or so towards the outside of the tire, with siping that doesn't quite divide the block, creating the "U". These siped U-Blocks can deform easily and mold over the trail surface, working to counteract the lateral forces when you're cornering hard.
It also has what Schwalbe calls, "phase shifted blocks". The simple explanation is that the tread blocks across the casing are not all in an even spacing pattern. Instead, the lateral clusters of blocks alternate from more closely spaced to more widely spaced. What they found was an oscillation that developed within the old version of this tire at certain speeds. This latest version uses the phase shifted blocks to eliminate the dissonant vibration and this decreases the rolling resistance by 15%, making the tire roll faster than you'd ever expect from looking at its knobby profile.
The tire is designed to be tubeless ready (TL), which means you can say goodbye to pinch flats. A tubeless system allows you to run less air pressure, again enhancing the grip of the tire's tread. Better traction, less vibration, and no flats lead to a great ride. It's necessary to use a liquid sealant within the tire to get an initial seal against the rim. The sealant will also work to seal thorn or debris punctures as you ride. The Snakeskin protection is a layer of abrasion resistant fabric mesh that's embedded into the outer layer of the casing on the sidewall. It adds yet another facet of durability, making these tires prime for tough terrain.
The Schwalbe Nobby Nic TL Ready Snakeskin 29 is available in 29 x 2.25 and 2.35" widths.

This is a beast of a tire. Large lugs, and has handled everything I have thrown at it so far. I run this on my front with the Rocket Ron on the back and it seems like a good pair. My wife has Rons on the fron and back in the non snakeskin version. She also likes those, but they are fairly thin and pourous. You will have to air them up every so often. She hasnt had a flat yet, however! Schwalbe makes awesome tires!

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have about 50 miles on these and have loved every moment. I ride a SC Highball and since upgrading earlier this winter the traction for cornering, climbing and heading down some of the local rock gardens has been nothing short of spectacular. I considered the Rocket Ron, but bought these on a recommendation since the performance increase definitely outweighs the speed benefit of the lighter tires.

A question was raised about our keeping the rights to the reviews we publish. In response to it, we updated our legal statement to allow writers to reprint their reviews under certain limited circumstances. You can see the revised statement on the About GMR page. When we're absolutely certain that we've got it ironed out perfectly, we'll see about updating the legal graphic at the bottom of our reviews.
Here is the current legal statement:
"All contents of this site are Copyright 1995-2010 The Green Man Review. All Rights Reserved. Reprints may only be used at the discretion and with express permission of The Green Man Review. To request a reprint, contact Cat Eldridge. Reprints must be accompanied by the following, including the link back to GMR:
Reprinted with permission from The Green Man Review
While maybe 30% of our reviews (at a rough guess) are volunteer, the rest of them have in a sense been paid for since the reviewer keeps the review material we send him or her in those cases. Often these are things that don't make it to this country for years to come, also scarce Advance Uncorrected Proofs, occasional signed editions, and sometimes just very nice materials. In those cases, especially, we think we should retain the right to keep the review from appearing in another publication without due credit given to GMR.
But even in the case of volunteer reviews, we invest a great deal of resources in collaboration with the reviewer. We provide an editor to edit the work, a proofreader to proof it, a copy editor to copy edit it, server space to publish it, artists to brand it w. the appropriate graphics and GMR's reputation, yet another editor to blurb it in the issue in which it appears (also requiring the proofer and copy editor), an indexer to index it, an archivist to archive the issue in which it appears, and occasionally a promoter (the Editor in Chief) to make sure people's attention is drawn to the review -- such as people associated with the art work itself -- artist, publisher, etc.
Given the investment of so many of our staff and resources in the process that makes a review part of our magazine, we think that even in the case of volunteer reviews, we should be able to keep it from appearing in other publications w/o due credit to GMR.
We don't mean to keep an author from using his or her own writing on a personal Web site. We only ask that for our part in producing it, we are given the first publication credit by showing our copyright and link.

In NateMail...aside from setting it to true, is there a secret to getting the "send IP address of visitor in email" to work?
