How to diagnose, track down & fix plumbing drain noise problems. This article explains how to cure or get rid of annoying plumbing drain noises in buildings. We explain that one first needs to understand the type of drain noises - some indicate plumbing problems to fix. Where drains operate normally but are noisy, we discuss adding sound deadening insulation.
That "blub blub" or "glug glug" noise you hear from a building drain might mean that there is a problem with the drain system itself, such as a partial drain blockage, a drain venting problem, a drain odor problem, or even a failing septic system.
This article explains the cures for plumbing drain noises, and we refer to key companion articles that assist in that diagnosis.

How to repair problems causing plumbing drain sounds
Just a bit of snow sitting atop the plumbing vent that extends above the snow level on the roof (photo at left) is probably not a problem - heat from escaping vent gases should melt through a bit of snow.
But as we illustrate and explain below, in very cold weather moisture can freeze inside and block the plumbing vent above the roof line - just one of many possible sources of blocked plumbing vents and plumbing drain noises.
Article Contents
2 Types of Plumbing System Noise Sources
First, it is helpful to divide cures for plumbing drain, waste, vent piping sounds and plumbing fixture sounds into two groups, because the actions we will take are distinctly different in each.
How to Stop Plumbing Noises by Adding Missing plumbing vents
Add missing plumbing vents to stop gurgling & slow drains
The photo shows a large house with only one plumbing vent visible (click the image for a
larger view).
Install vacuum breaker plumbing vents (e.g. V-200™) where routing a new vent line is troublesome
Meanwhile the plumber may install an illegal vacuum breaker to improve drainage - these products can be added wherever a drain is having trouble getting enough air to flow properly, but in most jurisdictions their use is subject to approval by the local plumbing inspector.
At PLUMBING DRAIN VENTS we explain the basics of proper plumbing vent piping and how plumbing vent piping errors cause trap siphonage, odors, and noises.
Stop Plumbing Drain Noises by Adding Sound Insulation
At NOISE, PLUMBING DRAIN DIAGNOSIS we include a question and answer case (with photos) discussing loud plumbing drain noises in a home along with our recommendations. Excerpts are below:
The level of plumbing drain noise transmitted into a space where you actually hear it in the building depends on these factors:
What to do now to reduce drain pipe noise?
In new construction we can avoid noisy drains by using sound-isolating pipe hangers, attention to pipe routing details to keep pipes from having solid contact on ceiling joists and wall studs, and by providing insulation around the piping between ceiling joists, floor joists, or wall studs.
But in an existing building it would be costly and probably unnecessary to tear out ceilings and walls to correct these details. Instead we add pumped-in or blown-in foam insulation into the areas where these pipes are routed.
You could use blown-in cellulose or fiberglass but it's a bit more difficult to assure that those insulating materials will flow around the pipes in the building cavity. Instead we recommend filling the ceiling joist or wall stud bay where the pipe is contained - fill it completely, a step that significantly reduces noise transmission.
Our photo (above left, courtesy Galow Homes) shows what the ceiling pipe chase (and surrounding areas) looked like after a professional blown-in foam insulation job in the same New York home. Subsequently of course drywall was installed over these surfaces (we do not leave foam insulation exposed because of fire hazards). After this foam was installed there was no plumbing noise detected in this area when the toilet was flushed in the floor above.
As it expands, foam insulation will flow around the piping into odd-shaped spaces and will fill the pipe chase spaces completely. The "blown in" foam insulation won't have to fill an entire wall or ceiling space, just the space where the pipes actually run.
But because the volume of these spaces is more than you can fill economically using little spray cans of foam, we recommend hiring a foam insulation contractor to do this job. The foam installer should not have to tear off drywall to do this job. Typically the contractor will fill the appropriate pipe routing cavities by injecting insulating foam through very small openings spaced along the route of the piping. The result will be no more than occasional 1/2" diameter or less holes to patch and paint.
Stop Gurgling Drains by Clearing Blocked Plumbing Vents
A plumbing drain line could itself blocked, as opposed to a blocked or inadequate plumbing vent line. In the case of a partially blocked plumbing drain, case all of the fixtures served by that drain line will always be slow to drain.
When weather and safe access permit going onto a roof (or using the services of a professional for that purpose), check for blocked building plumbing vents such as plumbing vents that may have become blocked by an insect nest, birds nest, or as shown in this photo, a frog.
In freezing climates, check in winter to be sure that the plumbing vents are not being
blocked by frost or by snow-cover.
See COLD WEATHER SEWER or SEPTIC ODORS
How to repair frost-blocked or snow-covered plumbing vents
First check for leaks: before installing a larger diameter plumbing vent line, make sure that there is not
a hot water leak into the plumbing drains or continuous shower use.
Too-short plumbing vent stacks
A plumbing vent stack which is too short above the building roof can be blocked
by snow and then stop venting.
Stop Plumbing Noise by Curing Sluggish or Blocked Plumbing Drains
Often slow or noisy plumbing drains are traced to a partial blockage such as the problem caused when our grandson Chase flushed his underpants down the toilet. We discuss this event and its diagnosis and repair
Also see SEPTIC BACKUP PREVENTION (private septic systems)
or see SEWER BACKUP PREVENTION (buildings connected to municipal sewers) and also see the health and safety concerns discussed
Gurgling drains may indicate a partially blocked drain line or sluggish septic system
If the outside sewer line is partially blocked, or if waste piping to a septic tank or from a septic tank to a drainfield is partially blocked, the building drains may appear to work normally until there is a surge of usage such as an increase in occupants or when using a washing machine.
In lighter usage the waste and wastewater flow down into the main drain line or sewer line where they are in effect, "stored" while the waste slowly seeps past the partial blockage. As wastewater seeps past the partial main drain blockage a gurgling sound may be produced at fixtures in the building as air is drawn intermittently into the drains - an effect more pronounced if the building drain vent system is inadequate.
In heavier usage of building fixtures, such as when there are many occupants or when doing laundry, the additional volume of water may first cause this "gurgling drain" symptom to be more pronounced, and as the blockage worsens, the building drains may actually back up during heavy use. This condition can also produce sewage smells or sewer gas backups into a building.
See CLOGGED DRAIN DIAGNOSIS & REPAIR
Odors due to clogged plumbing vents, drains, or blocked, failing septic systems
Clogged, partly clogged, slow drains or a partly-blocked, failing drainfield can also cause odors when
the surge of water from the washer causes a gas backup in the system:
Septic additives like Rid-x won't fix a problem with building vents nor sewer odors,
and are generally not recommended anyway -

Detailed Description:
There is limited knowledge of the IBS pathophysiology, absence of biological markers and therefore few effective treatment options. IBS therefore contributes to difficulties in the management of the patients. Aloe vera has a long association with herbal medicine, from the Ebers Papyrus from 16th century BCE. It is alleged to be effective in treatment of wounds, to improve blood glucose levels in diabetics, and it may reduce symptoms and inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis. Evidence of the effects of aloe vera in the treatment of IBS, is however limited and contradictory.

Tuesday Tip
The Back Extension (Much too often confused with Hip Extension)
We have programmed the back extension quite frequently as of late due to the arising need to increase the strength of the erectors for each athlete. This movement is often confused with hip extension. Here is a breakdown:
- Set up so that the pelvis is trapped on the pads.
- Without any movement in the hip, extend and flex at the trunk only.
- Range of motion will differ between athletes based on mobility of spine.
The hamstrings and glute muscles are working to isometrically stabilize the pelvis. When you are under a load while trying to lift heavy or to complete as fast as possible, not being able to maintain stability of the midline will result in inefficient movement at best and injury at worst.
If we are trying to isometrically hold the spine then why train a movement that emphasizes trunk flexion and extension? Building up the muscles while developing the "hardware" of the CNS to activate those muscles are going to enhance your ability to keep the spine neutral while under load.
If you are in the gym on a day that there are not back extensions programmed, then hit 2-3 sets in your warm up before class. Try to build up to 25 super strict and slow reps. Before long, your lower back muscles will look and feel like steel cables and be bombproof!

Don't Tear!
We have addressed this topic in the past but now may be a great time to address it again.
In CrossFit we perform a great deal of volume with barbells, pull up bars, rings, and kettlebells. It is important to establish a plan on how to prevent rips and tears as well as how to care for them if they do occur.
First, allow me to say this, a hand tear is an injury. It is not a badge of honor of how BAD ASS you are. If you tear your hand, you may be derailing your ability to train for the next few days. Oh, your significant other is not going to allow you to put your hands on him/her either so now you are really out of luck!
Prevention is Key
First, go to your local pharmacy and pick up either a pumice stone or a callus shaver in the foot care section. I personally prefer the callus shaver as it slices those babies down really quick and easy. You may prefer both to smooth over any edges left by the callus shaver. Take the shaver or stone and cut down any built up calluses as needed. Once per week does the trick for me. Others need heavier maintenance.
Beyond, keeping the calluses down you can also be sure to apply lotion to your hands to ensure that your skin does not become too dry with cracks. This will lead to rips and tears as well. I am not a big lotion guy. In fact the only time I use lotion is when I am rubbing some on my wife's feet and legs. But hey, maybe you like the stuff!
Friction is The Enemy
The reason the calluses build up and ultimately tear is due to friction. If your skin is constantly being rubbed along a surface it is going to be build to protect itself until it finally tears because it is too big. How can we minimize this? The first is obvious with using chalk.
There is such a thing as TOO MUCH CHALK. The substance is not supposed to be caked on your hands. If you are an excessive sweater then you need to have a towel to dry off your hands and forearms before applying additional small dosages of chalk to your hands. Don't be a chalk whore. I have also heard of applying body glide to your hands and then a little chalk on your hands before hitting the pull up bar or barbell. I have not personally tried this yet but it makes sense. Marathoners and distance events use body glide all the time to prevent chafing brought on by friction.
Gloves are another option. Wait, gloves? That is being a sissy right? Set aside your macho ego. If you tear and tear regularly, get a pair of gloves. Buy the smallest size of batting gloves you fit into, they will stretch, and practice your grip. It will be different and you may have to make some small adjustments.
Build up your grip strength. This is a huge reason for rips and tears. Though we don't want to have a death grip on the pull up bar when we need to finish 100 pull ups, we also don't want our forearms and grip to crap the bed after 15-20 reps. Look for another post coming soon to address grip strength and programs to follow that can easily be applied 2-3 times per week at the end of your workouts.
In the Heat of the Battle
While you begin following the guidance written above, what about today? Tomorrow? Here is one basic rule I follow. Don't go to failure on any set of pull ups, high volume snatches, or cleans. Once your grip begins to fail, you WILL rip your hand. Work smaller doses of sub maximal effort. Though it may seem counter intuitive, you will actually be able to finish your WOD faster due to less no reps and needing to take extra time for the muscles to recover. As you apply the grip strength work and continue training the number of reps you can complete will increase.
One last thing. If the WOD calls for 100 pull-ups and you know that the volume is too much for you, don't "suck it up" and go after it. Build up your capacity over time. Scale it down. Know your limits, work to the very fringe of them to keep pushing further, but be smart. Then you will be able to continue training and improving your fitness instead of sitting on the sideline and having to go to sleep with latex gloves and moisturizer.

The Power of GRIT
My CrossFit Kids program is about teaching kids to take care of themselves and value fitness. I also believe in the intrinsic values and qualities sports can teach. Qualities I think are valuable in life and teaching kids and teens what they mean through sport was central to the mission of my fitness business. I come from an education background and I am always curious about the latest in education studies. I am fortunate to have some great connections with educators in the field of pedagogy and one such professor introduced me to the research done by Angela Lee Duckworth on GRIT. Her work in this field affirms what I have always believed, GRIT is a necessary quality for success.
I recently had a set back in my professional career and that experience got me thinking about GRIT again. I've always been willing to take risks. I went to college when my high school guidance counselor told me I wouldn't make it. In fact, he was a little more harsh "girls like you don't go to college." I set out to prove him wrong. It took me 7 years to finish college while I worked a full time job. During that time I failed out of college once because I just wasn't ready for the demands of school. I kept going back when everything kept pointing in the opposite direction. I believed that with enough hard work I could make it. I also had seen that poverty was a life I didn't want to live.
When I applied to graduate school I didn't know if I could get in. I didn't have the best grades and my undergraduate school was by no means a top tier school. Hunter College is part of the CUNY system of New York City and it caters to students on the margins. While I was there I had to take remedial education and learn the basics of high school math. I was in a classroom with other students working full time. There were mothers in the classroom who would bring their babies because they didn't have anyone else to watch them. I loved it! I understood their story and their drive inspired me.
Dr. Duckworth's research on GRIT has started important discourse amongst educators and psychologist. She looked at success from a motivational and psychological perspective and what she asked is: Who is successful and why? The quality that kept emerging time after time was GRIT. She noticed that IQ was not the predictor of grades for students and that professionals in sales were most successful if they had long-term passion and perseverance. Adults and kids with mental stamina and the ability "to stick with your future" is what made success because hard work for many years is what makes that "future a reality." Angela Lee Duckworth
My recent set back got me thinking about my goals for the CrossFit kids program I started 4 years ago. It was reality time for me. I had the next 6 months all planned out and in one phone call everything changed. I was going to take my kids program to another affiliate gym. The new gym had hired me as a consultant for 3 months. I would then leave the kids program behind and move on in the summer to work with inner city kids in another program. Seemed perfect until I got the call that the new home for the kids program was pulling out of the contract. It was the eleventh hour and all I could do was crawl in bed and pull the sheets over my head. "NOT Happening!" I kept saying to myself.
Once I emerged I felt defeated. I called a few trusted people and asked for advice. These are some of their insights:
"Don't stay in the grey area for to long trying to figure out other peoples motives. Make a new plan and save your kids program."
"You started this kids program when no one else was doing this in Boston. Keep it going."
"Never give up your kids program!"
"This is not a failure but perhaps the best blessing you can't see right now."
I started to figure out a new plan. I also started to do what I do when life doesn't make sense. Work out more and read research on education. I looked at Dr. Duckworth's research on GRIT from a new perspective.
I took Dr. Duckworth's GRIT test. I thought I would be the grittiest person in Boston. However, a 3.38 on a scale of 1-5 is not so gritty for someone as gritty as me. I'm a survivor for sure but perhaps at this point my gutsy determination was not enough to pull me through the latest set back. Perhaps what's still missing is the last part of GRIT that I'm in the middle of trying to figure out—working hard over many years to make my future a reality. The future of the kid and teen program I started four years ago is just not finished yet. I was giving it up just as it was getting to the next level.
Dr. Duckworth has noted, people with GRIT don't look at set backs or failure as a permanent condition. I liked her message, when we fail we have to be able to start over with lessons learned and find a way to be better. I learned a huge lesson~ Never give up my kids program! I was ready to hand it over to other people. Nice people, I'm not even upset that they pulled out at the last minute. I get to redo this and get it right. I get the opportunity to take this program to the next level. I don't know what the future will bring but I'm not ready to give up.
I have always believed in the power of GRIT. I think it is a quality worth teaching kids and teens through the sport of fitness that we have all come to love. I continue to learn through my own CrossFit training about my strengths and weaknesses as a person. What I value: Honesty, Hard Work, Giving Back to Those Less Fortunate, and Fortitude, to name just a few. And what I would never do: cheating, stealing and cutting corners. The CrossFit community is full of amazing comeback stories of courage and resolve. This is my little story about getting a second chance to get it right.
How about you? Got GRIT? Is CrossFit a valuable tool in helping you become a little more gritty?

7 Things You Need To Know About CrossFit
One of our very own, Tolly Taylor, recently authored an article that was featured on The Business Insider.
In a society where online dating is the norm because it's so hard to meet people, CrossFit provides a ready-made community of people who share your interest in fitness. Through classes, bit-by-bit, you get to know the people at your gym—that's not to say you'll get along with or befriend everyone, but chances are you'll find a group you like. Pretty soon, you'll find yourself meeting up with people outside of the gym, organizing parties with CrossFit friends, and becoming more and more invested in your gym.
Awesome work Tolly!

Tuesday Tips
To go as Rx or not to go Rx? That is the question. Almost daily we as coaches receive this question from members at least 10 times when we bring the class in front of the whiteboard. Here is a quick and dirty guide when it comes to the Workout of the Day (WOD).
1. Fast Is Better
Metabolic conditioning is meant to be fast. (Once proper mechanics have been learned of course!) Speed is one of the 10 General Physical Skills outlined in CrossFit's definition of fitness. CrossFit works so well because we train at HIGH INTENSITY. INTENSITY = POWER. Power is also one of the 10 general physical skills necessary in a well rounded fitness program. We can measure POWER as work (force x distance)/time. The faster a WOD is completed the greater the POWER and therefore the greater INTENSITY.
Greg Everett even has a webpage that allows you to compute your POWER output for some of the movements in CrossFit. You can check it out here. One Friday evening, the attendees and I played with this calculator. We inputted different weights, times, etc for the same individual to calculate the POWER output of the WOD "FRAN". It was quite revealing to learn that performing FRAN with 65# and finishing 30-60 seconds faster than performing it as Rx and grinding through it created a much higher POWER output.
2. Strength During Strength WOD's
We program strength separately than the WOD because it needs to be trained as such. Yes, CrossFit does improve your strength within the WOD. But it does so primarily through repetitions and increased movement efficiency. The more efficient you are at moving the greater loads you will be able to handle. I am not saying this is exclusive, I am saying that it is primarily what is occurring.
The days strength is programmed in the gym or if you are on an additional strength cycle outside of class time, that is when you should be loading the heavy weights. Our current programming has less strength programmed due to the Open season. That begin said, you should be on a supplemental strength cycle outside of class if strength is one of YOUR main issues in being able to perform better.
Back to the main point of this tip, adding too much weight in the WOD is going to slow you down considerably. Thus, decreasing your POWER, AND increase your potential of injury. Add weight to the WOD very slowly as your fitness and strength improves.
3. Volume
The WOD written on the board is programmed for the most advanced athletes in the gym, think Carla B and Dave Y. They have a ton of training time and ridiculously huge base of fitness. The majority of our members are not at this level. They are working to get there. So, it is important to look at the volume of training each and every day.
I will use yesterdays WOD, 21-15-9 Pull-ups and deadlifts, as the example. Lets assume I just got my pull-ups and can now perform between 2-4 pull-ups unbroken regularly. 45 pull-ups would be a disaster for my training if I attempted to complete the volume as Rx. What would be more appropriate is for me to scale the WOD down to 10-6-4. This would provide an appropriate dosage so that I could improve my pull-ups without risk of causing damage or injury.
Over time while practicing my pull-ups outside of class time, I would increase the amount of pull-ups that I would perform in a WOD inching closer to Carla and Dave all while drastically improving my fitness.
I hope this guide helps. It is by no means exhaustive and it is not meant to be taken as law. There are many exceptions to the rule. We all are each individuals and respond to training much differently. That is what makes our job as Coaches both exciting and challenging. If you have any questions on this topic any of our staff can help you. Just come up and ask!

Monday Motivation & Tuesday Tips
I know, Monday was yesterday. Better late than never. In case you have never read the CF Journal, it is packed with a ton of great information and resources. Better yet, IT'S FREE NOW!
This video came up last fall and it is a great motivational piece. Take a moment and watch the video (W&F safe). You won't be disappointed. I love the dedication to virtuosity. She can't "see" how the movement looks but she can feel it and know exactly how to correct herself and others. It's a process and it can transform you.
Bettina Dolinsek was born blind, but she never asked to be treated differently. That same attitude carries over into her CrossFit training, and she doesn't shy away from movements—even box jumps.
Watch the video here.
Tuesday Tips
Tomrrow's WOD features: burpees, power cleans, and chest to bar pull ups. The first two we practice and train so frequently that it is not necessary to say much about them. The chest to bar pull up on the other hand…
Go and get 'em!

Tuesday Thoughts
One of the legends of CrossFit, Chris Spealler, wrote a post about CrossFit for training v. CrossFit for Sport. I have a world of respect for Chris. I have met him personally, had the opportunity to learn from him, and discuss being a gym owner. He is a stand up dude and very intelligent.
I highly encourage you to read this post in its entirety. There is much that we all can learn from it.
One of the things I love about CrossFit that is communicated in our programming lecture and some of the other reading material that we see is that "Our needs don't vary by kind, only by degree." I whole heartedly agree with this statement. Essentially we are saying that everyone from the most deconditioned participant to the most elite athlete have the same needs. All of us will be required to squat, press, deadlift, push, pull, run, jump, etc. in different forms or fashions. The KEY that we need to recognize is that this vary's tremendously by DEGREE. Particularly between those training CrossFit for what it's truly designed for, and those that have chosen to seriously pursue CrossFit as their sport at an ELITE level. The difference between these two pursuits is going to be dictated by your goals. When you set goals you should be realistic but confident and depending on what they are it will require more or less sacrifice from yourself and even those around you. I think we can all fall into 3 basic categories.

Although I will concede that Issues 14 and 15 are marginally appropriate, I can find no redeeming enhanced governance value in Issues 12, 13, 16, 17 or 18. To avoid confusion, I intend to vote "no" on all the proposed amendments. Vagueness is a commonly shared component, with the exception of Issue 13, which should be judged on its own merit or lack thereof. It deserves emphatic rejection.

Tungsten filament lamp, ca. 1909
Purchase a reproduction of this item on VintageMaineImages.com.
This National Lamp Works (General Electric) bulb has a squirted and sintered tunsten filament. The process made the bulb more efficient than those with filaments made of tantalum.
However, tungsten filaments were brittle and could not be bent, so short segments were used and were attached to the support wires.

Butte-aux-Cailles and Bercy
What to see and do in the 12th and 13th
CommentsAdd +
The former Left Bank village of Butte-aux-Cailles in the 13th, near Place d'Italie and Chinatown (Avenues de Choisy and d'Ivry), may be surrounded by modern shopping malls and tower blocks; but an olde-worlde ambiance still prevails in its labyrinthine cobbled streets and toy-town houses, draped in ivy and Nemo's street-art. During the Paris Commune the Butte-aux-Cailles' residents were some of the feistiest fighters. Nowadays the only battles being fought are over a table in one of its numerous student bars (Le Merle Moqueur and La Folie en Tête are always packed), or at Chez Gladines (where you can eat heartily for around €10).
Just a few Métro stops away on the Right Bank, Bercy is the perfect example of successful urban rejuvenation: this former wine warehouse area is now a shopping village with restaurants, bars and a multiscreen cinema. There's also modern park, the Cinémathèque film museum and Bercy stadium (Palais Omnisports) for world-class concerts and sports events. Just across the Seine, at the foot of the BnF towers (part of France's national library), is where you'll find Paris' hottest party boats. Take in rock, pop and electro concerts at La Dame de Canton or dance the night away to DJ sound on the Batofar – which even sets up its own beach and bar on the quayside in summer.
Restaurants in Butte-aux-Cailles and Bercy
Restaurant Chez Papa
- Price band: 2/4
Chez Papa is brilliant for a quick, filling meal that doesn't break the bank. This one on Rue da la Colonie is one of 11 in the Parisian chain, and the only one in the 13th. It's a lively, very French place, often full of families because kids can eat so cheaply, and not be sushed. On offer is traditional French food focusing on hearty specialities from the south and south west of France, from

A hip young crowd gathers in this rock-oriented bar, which doubles as a sports bar during important football and rugby fixtures, and trebles as an internet café at other times. Ever-changing art exhibitions add interest to the walls, and live music once a month draws an indie crowd. Fancy falling in love?

Des Crêpes et des Cailles
- Rated as: 4/5
- Price band: 1/4
The area of Butte-aux-Cailles is becoming steadily more gentrified, but Des Crêpes et des Cailles (a caille is a quail) is holding steady, one of the last outposts of tradition in the neighbourhood. The tiny crêperie only seats 18, and looks like the boat cabin of an old Breton fisherman. You can't reserve, but the friendly staff make up for any wait. There's a choice of more or less

Bars and nightlife in Butte-aux-Cailles and Bercy

- Critics choice
In recent years the Batofar has gone through a rapid succession of management teams, with varying levels of success. The current managers have helped revive the venue's tradition of playing cutting-edge music, including electro, dub step, techno and dancehall nights featuring international acts. It's also a destination for early-morning clubbers determined to shun their beds.

La Dame de Canton
- Critics choice
In a previous life, the Dame du Canton sailed the seven seas. Nowadays she's a party boat docked below the BnF (Paris' national library) offering live music concerts in exotic wooden surroundings. Its upper deck provides fab Seine views, while down below, narrow corridors and staircases make you feel you're exploring a floating labyrinth. Music wise expect intimate, avant-garde acts –

Le Merle Moqueur
- Rated as: 3/5
Amid semi-faded pseudo-tropical decor and '80s music, the Teasing Blackbird - a Butte-aux-Cailles institution - tantalises students and nostalgists with its splendid selection of rums (over 20) and a long list of cocktails. The atmosphere gets raucous after 10pm - get in early to grab one of the three tables.

There's a definite music theme in La Folie en Tête: instruments from around the world line the walls and the background sound flits between jazz, world music and rock, plus the occasional live performance. Early evening regulars come by for a tipple and a quick board game; but from happy hour onwards (6pm-8pm), the volume pumps up and folks pile in for the flavoured rums and house punch (laced

Le Quartier Bercy Square
You'd never think that lime green and brown stripes would match bold silver and white replica 19th-century wallpaper, but it does at this boutique hotel (another of Franck Altruie's addresses) in the trendy 12th arrondissement. Rooms are small but inviting, often using coloured light to create atmosphere.

Hôtel la Demeure
This comfortable, modern hotel on the edge of the Latin Quarter is run by a friendly father and son.

Hôtel St-Charles
On the southern edge of the Butte-aux-Cailles, quaint and clean Hôtel St-Charles has had a serious revamp and is now resolutely design-orientated. Rooms are small, but cosy in steely tones of grey and mauve. The all-white bathrooms are spotless, and there's a wee patio for evening aperitifs. This is a top spot for escapism from the crowds and easy bistro access. In fact, you're so close to

Honey, beeswax, royal jelly and anything else that has been squeezed out of a bee's behind takes pride of place in Les Abeilles (literally 'the bees'). This tiny boutique, in the heart of Butte-aux-Cailles sells everything from candles to honey vinegar, honey mustard and its specialty 'Miel de Paris', gathered by owner Jean-Jacques from his hives in nearby Parc Kellerman. There's also

Had Willy Wonka decided to launch a biscuit chain it may well have looked like La Cure Gourmande. There is something irresistibly over-the-top about the shop's turn-of-the-century-style tins, boxes and baskets, brimming with cookies, bonbons and chocolates. From the moment the vanilla scent hits you, you're hooked; then the seller suggests you try the biscuit of the day. Before you know

The purpose of this correspondence article is to report opinion amongst experts in the delirium field as to why, despite on-going training for all health professionals, delirium continues to be under recognised. Consensus was obtained by means of two conference workshops and an online survey of members of the European Delirium Association.
Major barriers to recognition at an individual level include ignorance about the benefit of treating delirium. At an organisational level, reflecting socio-cultural attitudes, barriers include a low strategic and financial priority and the fact that delirium is an orphan condition falling between specialties.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Use of Toolkit
All participants will have access to the toolkit
Behavioral: Use of toolkit
Patient participants will be given access to the toolkit and will create a customized report for their provider. Team will send report to providers and ask them to schedule appointment with patient to discuss.
Detailed Description:
The goal of this study is to develop and evaluate patient-centered care tools for autistic adults and their primary care providers (PCPs). One tool will allow autistic adults and/or their supporters to provide individualized information to PCPs about how being on the spectrum affects their healthcare and possible strategies to facilitate quality care. Another tool will capitalize on the power of patient narrative to educate PCPs about autism. These tools and other resources will be housed on an interactive website for autistic adults, supporters, and PCPs. The research team will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of using the new web-based patient-centered care tools with autistic adults and their primary care providers. This study will provide data for a future trial testing the effectiveness of these tools in improving the health of autistic adults by increasing patient-centered care and patient activation.

|Ultrasound measurements at the proximal phalanges in healthy women and patients with hip fractures.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9850344 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Measurements of bone mineral density (BMD) are useful for the assessment of fracture risk in osteoporosis. First prospective studies showed that quantitative ultrasound as measured at the calcaneus also predicts future hip fracture risk, independently of BMD and as accurately as BMD. The aim of this study was to compile a reference population for a new ultrasound device that determines amplitude-dependent speed of sound (AD-SOS) through the proximal phalanges of the hand and to prove its ability to distinguish between health volunteers and osteoporotic patients. In a case-control study we examined 139 healthy women aged 21-94 years and a group of 24 female patients aged 69-94 years with recent hip fractures. In the healthy reference population additional BMD measurements were performed with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative ultrasound measurements at the calcaneus were carried out. In vivo precision of AD-SOS measurements through the phalanges was 0.52% CV. Simple regression analyses showed a negative correlation with age (r = -0.73, p < 0.001); modest significant correlations with BMD of the lumbar spine (r = 0.36, p < 0.001) and BMD of the femoral neck (r = 0.37, p = 0.002) as measured with DXA were shown. The comparison with another ultrasound device measuring SOS and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) through the calcaneus showed correlation with SOS (r = 0.50, p < 0.001); no significant correlation was found with BUA measurements. Furthermore a dependency of AD-SOS values in anthropometric factors such as body mass index (r = 0.37, p < 0.001), height (r = 0.40, p < 0.001) and weight (r = 0.23, p < 0.05) was shown. First study results on 24 clinically diagnosed osteoporotic patients, defined as patients with recent (< 1 week) pertrochanteric or femoral neck fractures, showed a good separation between age- and sex-matched controls and osteoporotic patients (Z = -2.0 SD). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed an area under the fitted curve of 0.83 +/- 0.06. These results are powerful for a device measuring AD-SOS through the proximal phalanges of the hand, and further prospective studies have proven the capability of phalangeal ultrasound in fracture risk assessment.

TSA DBS Registry
An International Database for Deep Brain Stimulation Research in Tourette Syndrome
Common Questions and Answers that Patients
and Families Need to Know When Considering
Deep Brain Stimulation for Tourette Syndrome
Michael S. Okun, M.D., Herbert Ward, M.D., Irene Malaty, M.D., Nikki Ricciuti, Candy Hill, and Kelly D. Foote, M.D.
University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, Movement Disorders Center and the Departments of Psychiatry, Neurology,
and Neurosurgery at the McKnight Brain Institute
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a potential option for select Tourette syndrome (TS) patients whose motor and/or vocal tics significantly impact the quality of life despite maximal use of other treatment options. The media buzz surrounding DBS for TS has been exciting; however, it has created many questions for patients and their families to consider. In this update we aim to address the most commonly asked questions and also we aim to update the current state of DBS for TS.
DBS is a relatively new procedure that utilizes an implantable electrode to alter the activity of brain circuitry. The procedure is FDA approved for Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia and OCD, and currently utilized for patients who have not responded to standard medical or behavioral therapy, and who have no cognitive difficulties or "minimal" cognitive (thinking issues) dysfunction may be appropriate candidates.
DBS has the potential to "neuromodulate" abnormal communication that occur deep within the brains of people with TS. So far researchers have probed into several areas in the brain of people with TS (the centromedian thalamus, the internal globus pallidus, the external globus pallidus, and the anterior limb of the internal capsule) and they have had mixed success. The best target for "neuromodulation" has yet to be determined, however it does appear that DBS has positive results in some patients.
What does it mean to have a multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary screening prior to DBS and why is it important?
An important concept to understand when evaluating any potential DBS candidate is that successful surgery usually requires a multi/interdisciplinary approach. For TS a neurologist, psychiatrist or general practitioner can serve an important role in identifying and in triaging potential DBS candidates. However, prior to surgery, potential candidates should be comprehensively evaluated by an experienced team. The goal of the evaluation is to make sure that the candidat is optimally suited for DBS and can fully participate in the various operative and post-operative procedures. These teams should optimally include a psychiatrist experienced in TS, a neurologist experienced in TS, a neurosurgeon experience in DBS, and a neuropsychologist. In some cases social work, physical, occupational and a speech therapy may be useful. Additionally, adequate imaging must be performed (usually a MRI and/or CT), and the results of each part of the screening should be discussed in a DBS team meeting/board. The results of this team meeting should be shared with the patient and the family to be sure expectations may be reasonably addressed by the overall decision on the recommended approach to therapy.
Who is a good candidate for DBS?
Probably the most crucial step for successful DBS is careful patient selection. Careful consideration of patient characteristics will directly impact outcome. Despite the widespread use of DBS, there are no standardized criteria for selection of candidates. The TSA has recently published recommendations for DBS surgery in the journal Movement Disorders. Below are some general considerations for patients and families.
• The diagnosis of Tourette syndrome must be made by an expert psychiatrist and/or neurologist.
If I sign up for DBS what kind of commitment is required?
DBS requires a significant time commitment, and patients and families must be motivated to undergo not only the procedure but also the challenges associated with the pre-operative workup and the significant follow-up after the procedure. The family must be willing to return for multiple evaluations and they must realize that the average patient may be programmed 4-8 times in the first six months following surgery. Most experienced centers have begun to shy away from performing DBS in patients unless there is a spouse or a committed caregiver (especially a caregiver that can provide travel). Many patients and families are under the erroneous impression that DBS therapy is a "light switch," and once they are turned on the journey comes to an abrupt and miraculous end. The truth is, that following activation of the device there are still many battles to be endured with both DBS programming (there are thousands of potential settings), and medication changes. Patients and families must be willing to agree to multiple programming and to medication adjustments. Patients can ultimately become DBS failures simply from a lack of commitment to the process.
What have been the results to date of DBS for Tourette Syndrome?
The largest open label (non randomized control study) study of Tourette syndrome DBS utilized a single brain target and was published in a recent issue of the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Although three targets have been tested in small series for Tourette syndrome, the authors of the largest work focused on a part of the brain called the centromedian-parafascicular complex of the thalamus (CM). Other parts of the brain including the internal globus pallidus (GPI), external globus pallidus (GPE), and the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) have also emerged as potentially effective areas for amelioration of medication refractory tic, however they have been less studied. The authors reported DBS significantly decreased motor tics, in 18 patients, but the therapy was less effective for phonic tics. The therapy was commented to not be as "promising" as the authors had hoped in addressing behavioral manifestations of Tourette syndrome, despite improvements on the social scale of the Yale Global Tic Rating Instrument. Many groups are experimenting with differing targets and approaches to Tourette syndrome DBS and to date there is no consensus except that motor tic responds better than behavioral manifestations of the syndrome.
What are the complications of DBS?
DBS has short and long term "potential" complications. The DBS device is a "foreign body" in the brain and under the skin so infection is a primary worry, and can occur in 5% or more of implanted patients. One of the biggest worries is that the during placement of the DBS electrodes there will be bleeding or alternatively a stroke that may lead to weakness, numbness, changes in vision, and/or changes in speech. The DBS device can fracture/break, migrate out of position, or malfunction requiring an another surgical procedure to replace or reposition the electrode. DBS frequently affects speech, and particularly verbal fluency (getting words out of the mouth). There can be worsening of cognition or mood, and in rare cases associated suicidal thoughts (another reason why patients must be carefully screened and followed).
The largest risk of a DBS procedure is failure to achieve the patient's pre-operative expectations, and this is why it is absolutely critical that both patients and physicians have focused pre-operative discussions.
What is the future of DBS in Tourette Syndrome and where are the research studies being conducted?
What is needed for DBS to move forward as a viable therapy for severe TS are carefully controlled studies. These studies should be undertaken by experienced multidisciplinary teams, and should be guided by experts in performing clinical trials. Evaluations should be performed by blinded raters. Despite the positive results of this and other studies, we must learn the lessons which have resulted in DBS failures in other disorders, and make serious early attempts to avoid them in TS. Currently we are aware of two centers that have received FDA investigational device exemptions to perform Tourette DBS studies in the United States (Case Western, Cleveland OH, and University of Florida, Gainesville); U of F also has with a NIH-funded study of DBS). There may be other centers with FDA and/or institutional review board clearance to perform DBS, and as we become aware of these centers we will post them to the website.

MNLF officer in Lanao hopes to benefit from Bangsamoro deal-A A +A
Thursday, March 27, 2014
KAUSWAGAN, Lanao del Norte -- A Moro National Liberation Front revolutionary secretary hopes to benefit from the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement between the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) once it becomes a law by year 2016.
Sultan Camlon Moner, a former president of the Association of Barangay Council and barangay chairman of Barangay Delabayan, which was once a conflict area in Kauswagan town in Lanao del Norte in March 2000 to August 2008, said Wednesday they would be glad to benefit from the peace and development of the agreement.
"Delabayan is the backbone of MILF in Lanao del Norte. It was in Delabayan where the MILF was organized," he said.
"Everybody knows then that Azadullah Macapaar alias Kumander Bravo of 102nd Base Command is a son of Delabayan," Moner added.
However, Moner said that in the peace process, it is but reasonable that rehabilitation within the hearts and minds of the people should come first before any physical rehabilitation will be done in the community.
Delabayan was once a no man's land in March 2000 all-out war under the former president Joseph Estrada.
All houses were burned down during the offensives including Camp John Mac occupied by Kumander Bravo in March 2000.
Kagawad Ibrahim Alad Alaan of Barangay Inudaran said, "I do agree that the MILF including the private armies be disarmed in the normalization process to prevent further bloodshed and chaos."
Kauswagan town Mayor Rommel C. Arnado also said, "I am hoping that the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement will be a successful initiative to attain a lasting peace in Mindanao and should be translated into law by 2016. However, the GPH should further establish a fallback position in case the peace deal may drag on."
GPH panel chairperson Professor Miriam Coronel-Ferrer in a recent visit in Kauswagan in March said, "Kauswagan could be a good model and show window of the Bangasamoro peace process since the local government unit of Kauswagan was able to facilitate development assistance to five MILF and one MNLF commanders and their followers who returned to the folds of the law."
As rebel returnees, they availed assistance from the Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Institute of Technology and from the Office of the Presidential Assistance on the Peace Process for infrastructure and livelihood assistance.
Mayor Arnado said, "The design strategy was effective and efficient since we do not require the rebel returnees to turnover their firearms, but showing sincerity in their hearts and their willingness to reform and live a better life count."

List of shoplifting hotspots revealed
Posted: April 14, 2014|
A DETAILED breakdown has revealed the stores that are most targeted by shoplifters in South Derbyshire.
Derbyshire Police revealed that more than 60 per cent of all shoplifting revolved around just a handful of stores in the area, which include the Co-op, Sainsbury's, Boots, B&M Bargains, Morrisons and Aldi.
The force revealed the list of the worst-hit outlets as it announced crime for the whole county had risen for the first time in 10 years, although South Derbyshire actually recorded its eleventh successive year with a drop in crime.
Chief Constable Mick Creedon said: "Theft from major retailers accounts for the majority of all shoplifting crimes, with large supermarkets being the main victims.
"Most of these thefts involve relatively small amounts of food or other goods with the majority being under £30 in value. Eighteen per cent of all shoplifting includes the theft of alcohol.
"In total we recorded nearly 6,000 offences of shoplifting, which is more than 11 per cent of recorded crime, and of the top 15 locations that my officers are repeatedly called to in the county three are single sites of major supermarkets.
"While I in no way defend or excuse people stealing from stores, the fact is there are limited interventions the police can do to reduce this offending."
Chief Con Creedon also moved to address the fact that the county as a whole had seen an increase in crime for the first time in a decade.
He said: " We knew that crime could not fall forever, especially in light of the tough economic times.
"The significant reduction in police and other agencies' budgets has meant hundreds less police officers, police staff and big reductions in other partners' staff numbers. This makes it more and more difficult to carry out the preventative work that can make such a difference to levels of crime."

Fargo, N.D.-based Northstar Agri Industries, a subsidiary of PICO Holdings Inc., on Monday announced plans to build a canola processing facility in Enid.
Canola plant coming to Enid
Pending regulatory approval and commitment of debt financing, construction is expected to begin a year from now, with completion in time for the June 2015 canola harvest.
The investment will create an annual payroll of $3.75 million, including about 55 handler, trucker and sales jobs, said Brent Kisling, executive director of the Enid Regional Development Alliance. But the bigger impact is the opportunity the refinery will present for regional Oklahoma farmers, he said.
"Winter canola production is a game-changer for Oklahoma agriculture," Kisling said. Research shows farmers who plant two years of winter wheat followed by a year of Canola can increase their wheat yields by 15 percent to 20 percent, he said. And by using herbicides on the canola, he said, they can clean up weed problems.
"The plant will provide farmers with a much-needed local market to support continued acreage growth," Kisling said. The closest current refineries are Bricktown Producers Cooperative Oil Mill in Bricktown and a refinery in central Kansas, he said
Meanwhile, consumption of canola — which is used not only to produce canola oil, but also canola meal for livestock including hog and poultry farms in Oklahoma — is rising at double-digit rates, said Neil Juhnke, Northstar president and chief operating officer. America, he said, relies on Canadian imports as annual consumption here currently equals the equivalent of 6 million acres, while annual production represents only 1.5 million acres.
