How to Ease Knee Pain
Are you struggling with knee pain? It can be tough to cope with every day life while battling the pain. There are many ideas to help ease the pain away. Read on to hear about several ideas....
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1See a doctor. Doctors are professionally trained in this sort of thing. They're there to help you. Let them! They can see if you need any work done, or answer any questions you have. Maybe the answer to your troubles could be as simple as medication!
2Wear a knee brace. Some people find it helpful if they can wear a cloth or plastic brace that covers the knee. It supports the knee and soothes the muscles.
3Go swimming. Yes, that's right! Go swimming. Many people with muscle or bone aches have saunas or hot tubs. Sometimes a quick dip in a hot tub can relax your muscles and can refresh and reinvigorate you. Especially if you go regularly over a period of a couple of months. This will help!
4Try a gel. Gels such as Ibuprofen and Voltarol Pain-eze can really help with knee pain, particularly with arthritis. Normally they are relatively cheap, and some can be taken on prescription if large quantities are needed.

The Fantasmic! dining packages at Mama Melrose's and The Brown Derby are now available for lunch as well as dinner. The packages provide designated seating for Fantasmic!
As many of us have found, with reduced showings for fantasmic at Disneys hollywood studios, it's getting increasingly difficult to get a dinner reservation with ticket. This lunch availability should ease the situation somewhat

Building a Rat Rod
So you want to build a rat rod, but don't know exactly where to start? Let's start at the beginning, with the definition of a rat rod.
Rat rods are somewhat of an anti-traditional version of the so-called hot rods of the 40's, 50's, and 60's. Rat rod purists believe a true rat rod should be built not as a show car, but as a daily driver with emphasis on function rather than show quality. This doesn't mean that all rat rods are unpainted bare bones cars with no fenders or flashy paint jobs.
Building a rat rodis purely a matter of personal tastes and preferences. There is no "typical" rat rod blueprint. Sometimes a rat rod is built solely on what is available to the builder. Know of an old Jeep pickup in someone's barn wasting away? A perfect candidate for a rat rod project.
Many rat rods are built on a relatively small budget. Small block Ford and Chevrolet engines are plentiful and won't cost a small fortune to bring back to running condition. There are also many V-6 engines available that are just as serviceable and easily available. Auto salvage yards are full of engines and transmissions available to get your rat rod project off to a fast start.
If you're building a rat rod with the intention of having no fenders, early Ford pickups with an I beam front axle are ideal for this. Using this front axle will not only make for a clean look, but parts for these set-ups are easy to find.
The body of your rat rod is probably the most important decision you'll make. If you have your heart set on a rat rod built from a 1930's coupe, you will need a much larger budget and probably a lot of patience. It will be extremely time consuming and expensive to find models from this era. Even 1940's coupes are difficult to find in this day and age.
There is a much broader selection and availability of other cars and trucks that will make a great rat rod project. Old Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, and International pickups will all make outstanding rat rods. Try to stay with the half ton models so the frame can be used to build your dream machine.
Building a rat rod is a great way to have fun and in the process end up with a great ride. Your project will reflect your personality and will definitely be like no other on the road. Now that you have a basic knowledge of how to build a rat rod, what are you waiting for? Get to work!

I must say, these formula tracks are interesting. Might need to look into the game (like I need something else to take all my money
Having done little mapping beyond skirmish scale works for Star Wars Miniatures in the past, I thought it would be fun to design & illustrate a custom track for the Formula D board game. It was a twofold challenge: drawing the track in Illustrator and getting the spaces to align properly and then moving on to drawing all of the surroundings and the labels with a pseudo-Formula D style in Photoshop. I'm pretty happy with the result.
WIP thread here
I also have a higher resolution version (I usually work with the intention of printing my maps out at large scale) which I'll put up for download if anyone wants it.

Love it. I like how it's a short, tight track. The game needs more of these so game play can be shorter and still have a decent number of laps.

Wow, I haven't had that stuff since my brokest days at ISU. We used to buy it and then write "**** the" above the Hawkeye. It really is some brutal stuff though.
I buy it because it's cheap. Hell i'd buy it if was Cylcone instead of Hawkeye and it was cheap
I always go with Five O' Clock instead...same crappy vodka, same great price, no crappy name!
Is this in addition to the Hawkeye kool-aid that sells so well?
Hated Hawkeye in highschoo, always drank the Barton instead!

It is the prime ingredient in Hawkeye Kool-Aid.
Sorry that stuff is straight crap, I refuse to drink that vodka...I don't care if they named it Cyclone Vodka either...but ya know what? That wouldn't be a bad idea making a Cyclone Vodka - as long as we made it better quality than the hawkeye counterpart (which would NOT be hard at all.)
That stuff is nasty, might as well drink rubbing alcohol
Will it get me drunk?
Anyway I used to drink crap like that. No I have a good job. ONly go out about 1 time a month and can afford to drink Stoli's, Grey Goose, and sometimes if I have to I will drink Absolute Manderin if they don't have the two above mentioned Vodka's.
I know it tastes pretty bad if you don't dilute it down with a mixer but I don't see the value in paying 5 or 6 times as much for a more sophisticated brand.

I hesitate to even ask this, but... your pee isn't yellow? Unless it's practically clear (that's how you know when your body is properly hydrated, in case you're interested), I'd suggest going to a doctor. And hey- there's nothign wrong with a good "golden" stream, right? There's a good reason human beings' insides are red!

Hubbard Rake Production Manager
The Hubbard Rake Company is located in Jonesport, Maine, about as "Down East" as you can get—at the far eastern end of Maine's long sinuous coastline. It's also smack in the middle of the state's wild blueberry bounty. Blueberries are big business in Maine, especially the wild low-bush variety—the state's 2011 wild blueberry harvest weighed in at 83.1 million pounds and was worth more than $70 million!
Hubbard Rake quality control is helmed by Zeus, the operation's canine production manager, with product development pioneered by company proprietor Ike Hubbard. Ike developed his first prototype rake in 1990 and has since refined the design to encompass a wide range of styles and options, from a small 20-tooth model (1.25 pounds, $36) to 30-tooth (30T) model with raised handles to a three-foot-wide 110-tooth super-scooper (10 pounds, $140). Ike also produces other specialized rakes for for cranberries and huckleberries.
For backpackers and day-hikers, there is a "mini" working version that weighs in at around one pound ($34). It also features a reversible handle for better packability.
Of course, you'll need to find a lush and abundant blueberry patch before a Hubbard rake comes in handy—but that's not Zeus' concern, now is it? Happy picking!

Things...and Stuff....and Things
Thursday, September 12, 2013
My beau and his family will be getting together at his mom and step dad's house tomorrow to spend a bit of time and go through some of his mom's books.
His step dad is ordering keepsake pendants (I think they are pendants) for the kids for his mom's ashes. I have a small one with my dads ashes in it that my sister gave me and I love it. I don't wear it all the time, but I put it on if I am having an especially hard day.
My beau's sister is leaving to go back home Saturday and we will be leaving Sunday evening.
I am looking forward to getting home, but not looking forward to another bus ride.
Has anyone ordered NatureBox before? I finally gave in and ordered it...and I am not home to get it! My sister said it came last weekend and is sitting in my room...I am wondering what's in it! I got the middle size order and am hoping that it is worth the 30.00 a month.
I don't know if I have been able to maintain my weight with everything going on...I noticed that my capri's were still a little loose in the tummy last night but when I tried on my jeans this morning, I wasn't able to button them up. They were *just* big enough for me before, so I either put a couple of pounds back on or am still a bit puffy from the extra salt and stuff in the fast food and restaurant foods over the last couple of weeks.
I should be able to get a handle on it rather quickly once we get back home.
I am also looking forward to getting a job soon. I have several places that contacted me since we got down here....of course! It was like way back when I smoked (and you could smoke in a restaurant), as soon as you lit up, they brought out your order, lol!
While travelling is expensive, there just isn't anything I can really do about it, I am hoping to get a down payment together for a car before Halloween. I hope so anyways because after that it will be getting pretty chilly for walking or biking any distance in Chicagoland!
It seems like every time we get money in the bank....
I actually had enough for a down payment in the bank this morning, but that is soon to be decimated by the purchase of our return bus trip.
Oh well. C'est La Vie!
Take care and love yourself!

I looked up naturebox, and hope you enjoy it.
I have to find healthy
snacks online when I can afford some.
Some months, no extra for good things.
In our tiny town not much variety.
Something coming every month would certainly be fun and
would not have to spend the time shopping!
May you get a job you like, soon.
May you get that down payment for a car
and safe travels!
The pendant idea I will have to file away
for the future, sounds like a good idea.
It doesn't seem you gained much at all
eating out, since most everything fits yet!
You'll be home and on track soon!
May the Lord bless you both.

Well you have had a traumatic week or two so don't worry about a few pounds. When you get back home you can regroup and concentrate. I like the idea of a pendant for the ashes, never even thought of the idea. I am not sure I know what a nature box is but a friend used to order something similar. It was nuts, seeds and dried fruit I wonder if it is the same thing. I thought it was overpriced for what it was, but she really liked it.
Well safe journey home and when you get back you'll be going for job interviews and before you know it you'll be back at work and able to get that car. God bless

Over 500 years ago, Asian water buffalo found their way to southern Italy. We're guessing this resulted in some confused buffalo, but we're happy with the outcome, as the best mozzarella in the world comes from the water buffalo. You can really taste the difference. It is creamier and has a tang that is missing from other mozzarellas. We import our buffalo mozzarella from the Lupara family farm located in Caserta, Italy. Lupara is a third-generation, family-owned, craft-producer of fresh buffalo mozzarella. They use all natural feeds and humane treatment that result in a very happy water buffalo herd. At over 1,200 pounds each, happy buffalo are the very best kind. The water buffalo are then milked twice a day and the milk is made into cheese the next morning.

Living in place that gets snow, I've had my shovel ready in my car for about a month now. Fortunately (I'm not a fan of the snow), I've only had to bust it out once so far this season for some early morning strength training/shoveling.
In Massachusetts, laws vary from community to community about what residents are responsible for shoveling, but it's common in urban areas for residents to be responsible for clearing the sidewalks in front of their houses.

... and that's just what I will be getting early in the New Year!
About a month ago (shortly after my latest round of regular heart tests), I got a phone call from my cardiologist. The gist of his call was to let me know that, based on the results of these tests, it's now time to think about (and start planning for) having my pulmonary valve replaced. He had consulted with the rest of his team, and the collective agreement was that it's time for intervention. (It's interesting to me how "intervention" can be an attempt at subtlety when the real meaning is "surgery.")

One afternoon, not long ago, I awoke from a deep sleep, feeling a heaviness and sadness weighing on my heart. In my sleep, I had been trying to figure out why I felt so much pain and sadness. It bothered me so much that it woke me up, and I came to an epiphany in the moment or two I sat up and figured it out.
Lately in my life, I have been encountering people who either, really, really love me, or who really, really can't stand me. And they keep coming into my life.

What to expect at a regular visit? That is something that I've been asked before. It's what causes a lot of anxiousness for many CHDers. For me, the answer is simple—anything.
At the age of 16 is when that trend started. I went in for a regular cardiac visit and ended up in the hospital with atrial flutter. Later on, this trend would continue. After being diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia I went to meet my electrophysiologist for the first time. He suggested that I hang around and meet with a cardiologist and a pediatric cardiologist who does some adult CHD stuff.

My January heart checkups are historically the worst. At first I thought it was just a strange coincidence, but now I'm starting realize how the fall/holiday season really takes a toll on me. This year I'm trying something new – I'm trying to be more heart healthy and conscious of my usual pitfalls.
It's a lot easier to convince yourself not to work out when it's freezing cold outside or your to-do list seems impossibly long.
Here is my December "game plan" for keeping my heart healthy:
By Lorelei Hill
Come they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
This is one time of the year that I truly treasure. Yes, it is busy and stressful, and many days are filled with pure craziness, but when I find myself sitting quietly by the sparkling lights of the Christmas tree or listening to the soft sounds of holiday music, a feeling of tranquility overcomes me.
A newborn king to see, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
The craziness continues with gifts to be wrapped, cookies to baked, and kids arguing. For a moment I neither see nor hear any of that and my family marvels at how intensely I can listen to the lyrics within the music. While the melody attracts them, for me music is all about the story hidden within the notes.

This is the season when many of us, our friends and our family open our hearts and wallets to donate much-needed funds to those causes most important to us. If you are like me, there are probably several charities and organizations that you want to support—and if our pockets were deep enough we'd give to them all. So today I want to share why ACHA is one well-deserving organization to which I donate year after year—and I hope you will too.

If we can do this with a little yellow man… what can't we do?
It's between Thanksgiving and Christmas, so it's that odd time of year where it's dark, dank, and chilly and generally we all need cheering up. So this is unashamedly a positive blog, about a silly little thing of no consequence.
About a year ago the organisation I am very proud of being the Vice Chair of, the Children's Heart Federation, started a fun "competition" where all people had to do was take a little yellow man to as many interesting places as possible. That to me sounded like a job for the international GUCH community.
By Kim Edgren
About eight years ago, my friend Joan and I were both going through some medical challenges. We started to joke with our spouses that we were the "sun" because for that time it seemed like everything revolved around us.
Today, Joan and I joke that we wish we could be the sun every now and again, just without the medical drama. Having any health issue, especially those that are life-threatening, can make it feel as if everything revolves around the current crisis. And with chronic conditions such as CHD, sometime it does feel like we are like the sun—the only one in the sky.

I am scared of my heart, not only on an emotional level but also on a physical one.
As a congenital heart patient, I have to take care of my ticker. I should be eating healthy and exercising, both of which I do sporadically. I take my health for granted and sometimes it comes back to bite me in the...heart.

The apartment has a great location and very good size and well distributed. However, should the three beds thicker mattresses. We were there with five adults, which was for three in the small room very cramped. One should add to the description that it is for 2 adults and up to 3 children. With the key service and has all super geklappt.Vielen thanks.
Das Apartment hat eine Top-Lage und ist sehr schön groß und gut aufgeteilt. Allerdings dürften die drei Betten dickere Matratzen haben. Wir waren dort mit fünf Erwachsenen, das war für die drei im kleinen Zimmer schon sehr beengt. Man sollte zur Beschreibung hinzufügen, dass es für 2 Erwachsene und bis 3 Kinder gilt. Mit dem Schlüssel und Service hat alles super geklappt.Vielen Dank dafür.
Great location, would stay again
Carpet needs to be deodorized as smells when windows are closed but soon disappears after opening windows . New pillows would be welcome
Excellent location - this is where you want to be for your short stay in Sydney. The apartment had everything you needed for a self catering stay. The apartment block was quiet, clean and comfortable.
We had a really good stay in the Boundless Den. Any problems (light bulbs, door handle) sorted out straight away.
A bit noisy from next door being renovated, lots of banging and drilling, but as we were out most of the day it was ok.
All in all a stress free stay. Thank you.
The accommodation comes highly recommended close enough to the city and accessible by the light railway. Fully equipped providing a home from home.
Good and central location, everything clean, (excellent rapport qualité prix) but quite noisy and window view on a wall;)
To get the key of the apartment by taxi from airport is extra cost, but not complicated.
Great location. Nice view of the bay. 20 minutes to Sydney CBD by bus. Very well connected with many buses. Apartment is very, very small. Tiny bathroom. Warm in September. The flat is quite noisy, as it is located just by the road. Good area with bars and restaurants for breakfast and dinner. NO internet!!!!! Very bad service to collect keys. We arrived late in the night and we had to go to another hotel to collect the keys. Then take a taxi to get to the apartment. A bit dirty upon arrival. We had to clean the apartment ourselves. No service to leave luggage on the day of departure!!!! For the price, next time, we will go for a HOTEL.
Great place bang in the centre of all the action Could not askformore
Our stay in this apartment went well. The directions we had been given for collection of the key was straight forward. With the bus stop at the bottom of the stairs it was "all go" to get around Sydney. We arrived in the dark and we were blown away at the city vista from seven floors up.
Thank you.
The whole thing was actually as easy and positive as they listened to on the Internet, what we did not necessarily know that we had booked for the first time on Wimdu. The key pickup was quick and easy, since we had already received most of the information via email, we only had to spot the very last information given. Now to the apartment: Everything as described, ie centrally located and yet very quiet, great skyline view from the balcony, very neat and perfectly equipped. Just great, thank you very MUCH!
Die gesamte Sache war tatsächlich so unkompliziert und positiv, wie sie sich im Internet anhörte, was wir nicht unbedingt wissen konnten, da wir das erste Mal über Wimdu gebucht hatten. Die Schlüsselabholung war schnell und unkompliziert, da wir ja die meisten Infos schon per Email erhalten hatten, mussten uns vor Ort nur die allerletzten Auskünfte gegeben werden. Nun zur Wohnung: Alles so wie beschrieben, d.h. zentral und doch sehr ruhig gelegen, super Skyline-Blick vom Balkon, sehr gepflegt und optimal ausgestattet. Einfach klasse, ganz herzlichen DANK!

Buried in Netflix CEO Reed Hastings' unfortunate announcement of "Qwikster" (a separate entity for DVD rentals that never actually was, but brought to light the profound musings of Prophet Jason Castillo) was a tragic and too-confident statement. "...nearly every movie is published on DVD," stated the entrepreneur in an effort to prove the worth of his disc service. While he saved himself with a carefully placed "nearly," it didn't stop from producing a catastrophic movement of cinephile eye-rolls. A film doesn't have to be avant-garde, experimental, foreign, independent, or made in 1905 to be unavailable on DVD (just ask the directors of any misfires, mostly comedies, made in the late 80s/early 90s); it doesn't even have to be bad. Sometimes we're just that unlucky. Take Taiwanese filmmaker Edward Yang, part of the new wave triumvirate consisting of Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Tsai Ming Liang, but the only one whose output is impossible to acquire (unless you're a pirate) stateside. His final opus, the incredibly moving and tender "Yi Yi," was thankfully adopted into the Criterion family but the same could not be said for the rest of his kin. The unavailability (save for the occasional revival screening) gave his other works a great reputation; the few who were lucky enough to catch them gushed endlessly, most specifically for his 1991 effort "A Brighter Summer Day." Thankfully, Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation has been toiling away at a proper restoration and is now giving the entire four hour director's cut a limited engagement at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. A DVD release is imminent, but watching this treasure in a theater completely unbroken is the way to do it -- the director's greatest asset is his use of filmic time, the way every minute feels lived in and experienced by both the characters and the viewer alike. It's an absorbing venture, a tale that feels more than just a story well told.
Yang grew up in Taipei, and while calling this a fond remembrance of 1960s Taiwan is quite a stretch, his recreation of the urban society and dedication to the community's relationships (even those thrown into the background feel necessary -- the way their presence suggests an opinion, emotion, and life make their inclusion more than just an effort to have a location look realistic) contains so much soul that its sad, ironic, and critical look at the country never feels like a pessimistic slog even despite its heavy duration. Chen Chang ("Three Times," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") makes his first appearance on screen playing Xiao Si'r, a stoic little boy struggling in night school and running with a local gang. His father makes a shady deal to secure him enrollment in a much more prestigious daytime academy, but the child finds his time occupied by main squeeze Ming (Lisa Yang, who regretfully holds a single acting credit next to this) and gang turmoil due to the disappearance of leader Honey. The latter's source of constant conflict (not to mention the lurking military presence which find tanks and soldiers in the backdrop of numerous scenes) is hardly comforting, and some of the only solace in the area is found in amusing performances of Elvis Presley songs by younger buddy Cat (Wong Chi Zan). But eventually the bad gets worse, and the reemergence of Honey sparks much more violence and affects both Si'r and Ming in profound ways, leading to a completely devastating finale culled from an actual incident that rattled the nation.
As one becomes more acquainted with films, the general magic of many begins to fade, revealing the blueprint and making every beat a cinch to spot. Of course, some of our favorites either manage to retain that illusion or are still fun regardless, but Yang is one of those rare cases who opts for a different road all together. Similar to "Yi Yi," 'Brighter Summer' feels birthed from a dense piece of literature rather than a script, a film moving at its own pace and logic as opposed to following tried-and-true screenplay elements. With plenty of screen time to work with, the filmmaker is able to successfully evoke the life of that period, and the end result gives the impression of a luminous personal memory. Some details and names are likely to be lost and forgotten over its duration, but such is life, and despite these minutia slipping from our grasp, the entirety is felt -- Yang is more interested in the experience.
Within this slow-moving story, ideas and characters are allowed to grow and flourish organically. Still, the director doesn't employ these assets for mere character connection and bonding, or even in an attempt to provide answers for a person's questionable behavior. Instead, he goes for something more complicated. Si'r, for example, is introduced as being rather quiet and unresponsive. As we follow his progression through relationship confusion, trouble-making, heartbreak, and gang violence, the boy slowly transforms from a soft kiddo into something more hardened. The change is convincing, but still the final act of brutal violence mostly feels nonsensical -- it's something we can't relate to, and Yang keeps a distance from it. Earlier moments containing murder were, relatively speaking, more digestible: one was a product of rival clans, the other revenge. But while Si'r is a product of his environment, slapping an explanation onto his crime feels too easy, reductive, and more or less misses the point. It's an idea that Yang continuously returns to, that despite his exhaustive study of this boy, there's no particular thing that caused him (and specifically him, as the director looks at many others that are either similar or worse off) to commit murder.
Light and identity are also topics the filmmaker is fascinated with. The movie's cinematography is deceptively simple, lacking any elaborate movements or flashy visuals, instead confidently capturing the action in few shots with minimal cutting. He's more interested in where the light moves or what it does to his characters, from the selective shine of a flashlight in the late hours to the all encompassing day-time sunlight breaking in a home. The latter provides one of the movie's stranger moments, where a scene between Si'r and Ming is covered by framing their blobby shadows on a door. It's eerie and unsettling, despite their conversation being relatively innocent. Stripped of all the things that make us recognize them as human, we're again reminded how little we understand (or identify) people. It appropriately ties into Yang's study of identity, which finds most of the characters searching for something they can latch onto and make their own -- take Cat's obvious Western influence, or even Si'r attempts to emulate Honey with the assurance and cool nature he adopts towards the latter portion of the flick. Being themselves -- as in, building off their own traditions and growing with the community -- seems impossible given the country's own struggle with identity (even today there's a strained relationship between China and Taiwan, with the former always hoping to reclaim the latter). Yang shines a light on how these people at least strive to find some sort of understanding of themselves, be it through rock & roll or gang-life.
Some have been as bold to stick "A Brighter Summer Day" with the mighty "m" word, a weighty label that we can't dispute given its achievement in creating more than just a masterly crafted movie. Here, Yang has erected a temporal experience, a completely immersive world that few artists in any medium could ever hope to do. If you love cinema, you'll love this movie. That's a promise. [A]

Yep! I'm moving. I've had this account for five years and it's become a bit stale. I made it when I was fourteen and you can definitely tell by some of the content in my gallery that it was a teenager who created this deviant page. I'm going to be twenty by the end of this month and this past new year, I made a resolution to start creating better content and to start thinking seriously about my career as a writer. While I'm definitely not as good as I wanna be, I know I'll get better with the support and constructive advice from my family and friends (and a workshop full of strangers couldn't hurt either. (: )
I've decided that I also need to slough off the past. I haven't had the greatest time these past five years, but I've made the decision that I just need to let it go. To forgive those old grudges and to just worry about myself for a change. I'm going to pick up my pace and pay off some old debts and get on the right track to getting out of this town and going to my dream university. And by the time I'm outta there, I hope that I'll have been able to enthrall the masses with my enchanting poems and stories. (:
I've got plans, my felow deviants though I expect they won't go exactly the way I want them to. But I always welcome a surprise and role with the punches so I'm ready and eager to begin. It's still empty, but you can find me at my new page and I'll definitely try to update everyday, though no guarentees, my lovelies. Especially since the start of the semester is just around the corner. It's a new year and a fresh start for everyone. I'm just a little late, but Happy New Year's everyone! Hope to see you all at the new account!

Get a grip on your print practices and expenses
You can't manage what you can't monitor, and one of the least monitored back-office expenses is the output from your printers, scanners, fax machines, and copiers. With an Output Management Solution from Ricoh, you can see clearly what's being printed, how it's being printed, and how much it costs.
And once you have that information, we can help you develop and implement a print fleet management strategy for your multivendor devices. With our tools and technologies, you can make smarter decisions and control your workflow with ease.
How do you want to define print optimization for your organization?
Bolster your budget
Printing doesn't have to cost you and arm and a leg. An active print management strategy can help you cut costs with little effect on quality. With our Output Cost Management Services, you can decide if you want to simply monitor output and costs — or seize control by:
- Authenticating users.
- Directing print to the most cost-effective devices.
- Enforcing duplex printing.
- Defaulting to black-and-white.
- Making sure everyone pays their fair share with precise charge back records.
Select the right shade of green for your fleet
Trying to figure out how to apply your organization's sustainability strategy to your fleet of networked printers and multi-function printers (MFPs)? We understand your pain. It's daunting to get your arms around carbon footprints and the environmental impact of paper usage, aging equipment, recycled ink, and toner cartridges.
Not to worry. You need intel, and our total cost of ownership (TCO) and @Remote tools supply it. But you also have our Managed Fleet Optimization. When your workflow processes, device strategy, and green strategy are aligned, you can reduce energy costs and supply consumption — and keep Mother Nature happy.
Manage output devices centrally
You wish "the daily grind" referred to your favorite coffee blend. Instead, it's what your staff does every day: checking toner, ink, and paper; taking meter reads; and upgrading firmware . It's all very time consuming because every device receives individual attention.
Instead of constantly sending a person down the hall or to the next building, save time, money, and effort by operating everything centrally. With our Device Management Solutions tools, you can centralize document workflow and copier fleet management, monitoring, and configuration.
From a single interface, you can view printers, IP addresses, status alerts, and upgrade firmware and change settings — from anywhere and any device. At the touch of a button, you'll be able to:
- Reduce the amount of time it takes to manage multiple vendors.
- Understand your fleet management costs through detailed reports.
- Apply print management policies: color versus black and white, single versus duplex, etc.
- Charge back to internal departments or vendors.
Better information at your fingertips, and more time to apply it to your business. What's not to like?

The veterans behind the North Carolina Korean War Memorial at the Mint Hill Park on Fairview are ready to place the granite sign. Workers recently prepared the spot where the sign will go and are now waiting for warmer weather so they can pour the concrete. Once that is completed, workers will move on to Phase 2 which will consist of most of the rest of the memorial.

Update on April 2014 exam results
June 19, 2014
The results of the April 2014 PE and PS exams were released to NCEES member licensing boards on May 20. The SE exam results were released on June 17.
This video explains some of the steps in the scoring process that take place between when your exam is submitted and your result is released:
How and when examinees receive their results will vary by state. Some boards use NCEES Exam Administration Services to release the results directly to examinees; some release them through another testing service such as PCS; and other boards release the results themselves. In addition, some state boards must validate the results at a board meeting before they can release them to examinees.
To find out how you will receive your results, go to the exams page, select your state from the drop-down menu on the right, select your exam, and look for the Results subhead.
Follow us on social media to be alerted to new exam-related updates:

state had distributed several hundred identification certificates, generally of the high-security variety. Differences among the security levels lie in how applicants are authenticated and how the digital signature is stored, according to Kolodney.
At the high-security level, applicants must appear before a notary with two pieces of photo identification. The notary then submits the information to the certification authority. The authority verifies the application and assigns the applicant a digital identification, which is stored either in a smart card or a device called a key fob that plugs into the USB port on a users PC. In addition, applicants are given a pass phrase or an identification number.
Initiating a secure transaction requires both the hardware device containing the digital ID and the pass phrase or number. "We like to say that you have to have something and you have to know something," Kolodney said. "That is a security matter, because to lose [the digital identity] you have to lose the physical device and the pass phrase at the same time."
Initial users of Washingtons high-security certificates include lawyers seeking confidential client records and health-care professionals seeking communicable disease data, said Kolodney. In addition, the states public retirement system envisions using the certificates to allow members to change addresses, job status and other information electronically.
At the standard-security level, users apply for the digital certificates online. The identifications are issued with minimal verification and loaded directly into a users Web browser.
"Theres really no security associated with it other than youve asked for it and gotten it. So it represents you to that extent," Kolodney said. He expects standard certificates to replace state-issued passwords used for electronic tax filing applications and other common transactions.
Washingtons intermediate-level certificates fill the gap between the two extremes. Like the high-security signature, intermediate IDs require storage of the certificate in a smart card or key fob. But they dont require a notarized application.
Users pay an annual fee for their certificate based on its security level. Standard certificates cost less than $20 per year. High-security certificates cost about twice that amount, plus a one-time fee for the smart card or key fob hardware. Standard certificates carry a liability limit of $1,000 per transaction. The limit for intermediate certificates is $10,000, and high-security certificates may be used for transactions valued as high as $50,000.
Cautious Start
Illinois currently issues a single high-security certificate. The state expects to expand the certificate options later on, but its keeping the initial roll out simple to avoid confusion and to develop the processes needed for a wider implementation, said Reynolds.
So far, Illinois is giving certificates to users it can readily and positively identify, such as Medicaid providers that regularly deal with state health agencies. But while face-to-face identification of trusted business partners works on a small-scale basis, Illinois officials acknowledge that meeting the governors goal of issuing digital IDs to as many as 1 million citizens and businesses over the next 18 months demands a different approach.
"These are people who come to us multiple times in a year, and they come to us in a known context," said Crossland. "Down the road, weve got to figure out how to register John Q. Citizen who just pops up on the Web and says, I want a certificate. And thats a little more complicated."
Ultimately, Illinois expects to develop a suite of certificates covering multiple security levels and create online application processes for at least some of them.
"Were working our way through these various applications and talking about the levels of certificates we might want to have. Weve looked at four levels and weve looked at five," said Crossland. "If you go with the five-level model, youre going through a state-police vetting process at the highest

Anybody else do the Triple this year? 120 miles and 10,000 ft of climbing. The weather was great and so were the mountain passes.
Anybody else do the Triple this year? 120 miles and 10,000 ft of climbing. The weather was great and so were the mountain passes.
I thought you were talking about heart surgery!
That sounds like quite a ride - 120 miles and 10K ft of climbing!
I am shooting for good conditioning but that sounds like a yougins game
"Of all the things I ever lost I miss my mind the most." Mark Twain
If all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
Not this year, but TBP is definitely on my list of rides to do! I did the Markleeville Death Ride in '05, but the TBP is so much farther away, it takes more logistical work.
Sounds quite do-able. How many feet of climbing per pass, what was the % of grade, and what are the time cuts?
Rick / OCRR
I've never done it, nor do I plan to do it. My wife would have a heart attack about my having a heart attack, and actually needing a Triple By Pass. Besides, I just don't enjoy that kind of thing.
But, I have stopped by the aid station just before Loveland Pass and watched as more than one rider puked all over the place. I'm sure only a few have this problem - most likely folks from lower altitudes.
Remember that Loveland Pass is 11,992 feet, and just getting there is uphill all the way from Idaho Springs, and one has already done a major pass a few miles previously..
My best wishes to anyone who tried whether or not they did it, and congratulations to all of those who did the whole thing.
I did it in 2004. We had great weather that day too.
I was all signed up for my first run at the TBP this year and got waylaid with a series of weekend work assignments. This and the Copper triangle are on my list of must do rides.
A couple of friends did the ride this year on a tandem and had a great time, although he came away with the painfully acquired knowledge that he needs to get a different seat on the tandem.
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Wow, a forum for old guys! Love it!
I did my first TB this year. Left Bergen Park at 5:32AM and arrived in Avon around 5PM. Yes it was a long day. Yes the pull from Georgetown to Loveland was a gut check. This was only my 4th organized ride since I started riding road bikes about a year ago.
I enjoyed the ride but didn't enjoy the 5 miles of I70 shoulder. Everything else was pretty much what I expected. It was a tough ride and I'm still recovering, but if you enjoy a personal challenge, this is the ride for you! I'll definitely wear that jersey with pride!
On a side note, as we were pulling out of the parking lot around 6-6:30, we saw a huge cloud of smoke and heard lots of sirens. What happened?
Sorry Bev! I'll not forget the gals next time!
A bunch from my bike club did it.
You have to sign up way in advance & since I've only starting riding 5 months ago I didn't have a registration but Thursday a couple popped up on Craigslist but I wasn't prepaid that quick.
I guess the weather was really nice & it sounds like it was a good year to ride it. I have been told I'll be doing it next year.
One of the older (50+) members joined three others from Denver & also did Mt. Evans to make it a 180 mile ride, now that is just crazy!!!
For those that did ride TBP, CONGRATS!!!!!!
2007 Specialized Roubaix
That said, I rank the TB in the top 5 toughest things I've ever done. I only started riding road bikes a little over a year ago having started my "career" on the Copper Triangle on a rented bike last year. The bike almost crippled me and it took me almost 6 months to recover from the numbness. I was ill prepared and suffered heavily for the last 20 miles of the ride. So, what did I do? Bought a bike (Douglas Matrix) and started training for the Triple. Stupidity or determination? I think I can feel the general consensus here...
Anyway, thanks to all! I no longer feel so "unique"
Yah, I did it this year and in 2007. A very hard ride, especially coming from sea level to do it. However, in the splendid weather of the last two years the weather has been perfect and it is just stunningly beautiful. (I hear 2006 was very different, 2/3's of riders dropped out in steady cold rain).
It was 3 years of progression from finishing my first completely flat century ride (Seagull) to doing the Triple las year. I must have plateaued or something, because it felt just as hard this year as last!
The funny story on the plane ride in: After sitting in silence for the whole ride, I finally started a conversation with the guy sitting next to me. Turned out he lives in Denver, and eventually he says, "What bring you out here from Washington?" So I say "Triple Bypass." The guy says, "Wow, I hope that goes okay for you!" After I stopped laughing, I explained what I meant. I guess I was kind of focussed on the ride...
I rode it this year for the first time. Have done several centuries but registering for the triple made me stay serious about training and losing weight. I live in the area so have opportunities to ride in the mountains and did each of the climbs separately with the Team Evergreen group in the weeks leading up to the ride. It wasn't that hard and I'm 61 but a year and 40 pounds ago would have been a different story. 8:42 ride time, 10:10 total - so I spent a too much time at rest stops and taking pictures at the top of Loveland Pass. My daughter beat me by an hour. I'm proud of her but...I'll kick her butt next year (yeah, right).

First Class cadet Donnie Martin has drawn upon his family's background in missionary work and added in his own aptitude for engineering to come up with a construction proposal that could someday save thousands of lives in earthquake-prone areas.
Martin, a civil engineering major who graduated from high school in Richmond, Va., spent many of his formative years overseas thanks to his father's employment with the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.
From the age of 3 on, Martin lived in England while his father worked in Africa. Additional postings in Singapore, Cyprus, and Turkey followed. The Martins, including 8-year-old Donnie, were in Cyprus when a severe earthquake struck Turkey in August 1999, killing more than 17,000 people. Both of Donnie Martin's parents were involved in the relief efforts.
At VMI, Martin began to wonder if there couldn't be a way to save lives in earthquake-prone developing countries, where steel is too expensive to use as reinforcement in building construction and most earthquake-related fatalities result from people being crushed by falling walls.
Martin approached Maj. Matt Swenty, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, about undertaking research for an honors thesis on the use of ferrocement as a laminate over existing structures. Ferrocement is a type of reinforced concrete that has been used for over 100 years as a primary building material, but as Martin and Swenty did their research, they could find no reference to it being used for retrofitting an already finished building.
"This began as looking for concrete enhancements for developing countries," said Martin, who hopes, after graduating from VMI, to work in civil engineering research and then attend graduate school.
To test the potential for ferrocement's use as a laminate, Martin took cinderblock structures and coated them with ferrocement. For additional reinforcement between the ferrocement and the cinderblock, Martin tried chicken wire, steel welded mesh, bamboo, and burlap, to simulate the kinds of materials that might be commonly used in different regions of the world.
When he subjected the four types of structures to a compression test, Martin found that two of the cheapest and most commonly available materials – bamboo and burlap – held up best.
"Chicken wire and steel mesh both snapped, but then the bamboo and burlap just kept stretching and stretching and never gave way fully," Martin explained.
For slum dwellers, Martin believes, retrofitting their existing homes would be invaluable, as these people can't afford to move, nor can they afford to replace their homes if they become uninhabitable. Applying ferrocement to an already existing structure is a labor-intensive process, Martin and Swenty explained, but labor is cheap in the developing world.
"If we could provide a coating, something that's more ductile, so that it bends more, … we could create a structure that could withstand a little more load from either a hurricane or an earthquake," said Swenty. He added that buildings in developing countries typically cannot withstand the effects of even a minor earthquake, because structures there aren't reinforced at all.
"[Martin] has come across a great thesis topic for a master's or Ph.D.," noted Swenty, whose specialty is concrete and bridge engineering. "If we really wanted to push this to the implementation stage, we would need to do some more larger-scale testing. … Donnie proved through his testing last summer that not only is the concept there, but the concept is viable."

See BOXED WARNING
The concomitant use of other CNS depressants, including other opioids, sedatives or hypnotics, general anesthetics, phenothiazines, tranquilizers, skeletal muscle relaxants, sedating antihistamines, potent inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A4 isoform (e.g., erythromycin, ketoconazole, and certain protease inhibitors), and alcoholic beverages may produce increased depressant effects. Hypoventilation, hypotension, and profound sedation may occur.
FENTORA is not recommended for use in patients who have received MAO inhibitors within 14 days, because severe and unpredictable potentiation by MAO inhibitors has been reported with opioid analgesics.
Pediatric Use:
The safety and efficacy of FENTORA have not been established in pediatric patients below the age of 18 years.
Patients and their caregivers must be instructed that FENTORAcontains a medicine in an amount which can be fatal to a child. Patients and their caregivers must be instructed to keep tablets out of the reach of children. (See SAFETY AND HANDLING, PRECAUTIONS, and MEDICATION GUIDE for specific patient instructions.)
Drug Abuse, Addiction and Diversion of Opioids:
FENTORA contains fentanyl, a mu-opioid agonist and a Schedule II controlled substance with high potential for abuse similar to hydromorphone, methadone, morphine, oxycodone, and oxymorphone. Fentanyl can be abused and is subject to misuse, and criminal diversion.
Concerns about abuse, addiction, and diversion should not prevent the proper management of pain. However, all patients treated with opioids require careful monitoring for signs of abuse and addiction, since use of opioid analgesic products carries the risk of addiction even under appropriate medical use.
Addiction is a primary, chronic, neurobiologic disease, with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. It is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving. Drug addiction is a treatable disease, utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, but relapse is common.
"Drug-seeking" behavior is very common in addicts and drug abusers.
Abuse and addiction are separate and distinct from physical dependence and tolerance. Physicians should be aware that addiction may not be accompanied by concurrent tolerance and symptoms of physical dependence in all addicts. In addition, abuse of opioids can occur in the absence of addiction and is characterized by misuse for non-medical purposes, often in combination with other psychoactive substances. Since FENTORA tablets may be diverted for non-medical use, careful record keeping of prescribing information, including quantity, frequency, and renewal requests is strongly advised.
Proper assessment of patients, proper prescribing practices, periodic re-evaluation of therapy, and proper dispensing and storage are appropriate measures that help to limit abuse of opioid drugs.
FENTORA should be handled appropriately to minimize the risk of diversion, including restriction of access and accounting procedures as appropriate to the clinical setting and as required by law.
Healthcare professionals should contact their State Professional Licensing Board, or State Controlled Substances Authority for information on how to prevent and detect abuse or diversion of this product.
Physical Dependence and Withdrawal:
The administration of FENTORA should be guided by the response of the patient. Physical dependence, per se, is not ordinarily a concern when one is treating a patient with cancer and chronic pain, and fear of tolerance and physical dependence should not deter using doses that adequately relieve the pain.
Opioid analgesics may cause physical dependence. Physical dependence results in withdrawal symptoms in patients who abruptly discontinue the drug. Withdrawal also may be precipitated through the administration of drugs with opioid antagonist activity, e.g., naloxone, nalmefene, or mixed agonist/antagonist analgesics (pentazocine, butorphanol, buprenorphine, nalbuphine).
Physical dependence usually does not occur to a clinically significant degree until after several weeks of continued opioid usage. Tolerance, in which increasingly larger doses are required in order to produce the same degree of analgesia, is initially manifested by a shortened duration of analgesic effect, and subsequently, by decreases in the intensity of analgesia.
Respiratory Depression:
Respiratory depression is the chief hazard of opioid agonists, including fentanyl, the active ingredient in FENTORA. Respiratory depression is more likely to occur in patients with underlying respiratory disorders and elderly or debilitated patients, usually following large initial doses in opioid non-tolerant patients, or when opioids are given in conjunction with other drugs that depress respiration.
Respiratory depression from opioids is manifested by a reduced urge to breathe and a decreased rate of respiration, often associated with the "sighing" pattern of breathing (deep breaths separated by abnormally long pauses). Carbon dioxide retention from opioid-induced respiratory depression can exacerbate the sedating effects of opioids. This makes overdoses involving drugs with sedative properties and opioids especially dangerous.

How to Get a Job as a New Grad Nurse: Advice from the Career Guru
I thought readers would get something out of this reblog.
By: Donna Cardillo, RN, MA, Career Guru for Nurses and the "Dear Donna" columnist at Nurse.com
The job market for nurses has shifted permanently. Not only is care, and the relevant jobs, moving out of hospitals and into alternative inpatient care settings, the home, and the community, but our health system is moving from an illness treatment model to a prevention and maintenance model. The bottom line is that nurses – both new and experienced – need to look in new directions for employment, must learn new ways to find and get those jobs, and will have to take steps to get and stay competitive in a new job market.
So what's a new grad to do? For starters, focus your job-finding efforts on networking (a.k.a. word of mouth). One way to do this is to join and attend local meetings of your state chapter of the American Nurses…

It was about 2 weeks ago when I posted an entry dismissing the industry-held belief (and sadly, amongst some of *us* as well) that "black American films don't sell overseas."
Read it HERE is you missed it.
In that post, I listed 2 countries that my research showed have demonstrated strong interest in black American films, given the number of black American films that have been released in those countries in recent years, as well as how well they performed at the box office, especially relative to mainstream Hollywood films - in some instances, outperforming those.
The two countries were England and South Africa.
Black filmmakers who read that post would be wise to take that piece of information into consideration, when plotting a release strategy for their future films, and research entry-ways into those markets especially (although there are others).
While I'm certainly not implying that my post had anything at all to do with the fact that Terence Nance's feature film debut, An Oversimplification of Her Beauty (an indie film too) will be opening theatrically in South Africa, I thought it was definitely worth mentioning that it is, given debates we continue to have about black films playing in overseas markets.
The Bioscope Independent Cinema in downtown Johannesburg, South Africa, will run the film in a limited (1-week) release, starting this weekend.
I believe this will be the film's first non-USA commercial theatrical release. Yes, it's *limited*, but its USA release has been *limited* as well.
For our readers in the area, go to the Bioscope's website HERE for times and ticket information.

West Pittston Library receives $500K grant
The flood-damaged West Pittston Library has received a state grant of $500,000, state Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, announced Thursday.
"This is a big day for West Pittston. We are thrilled with the news," Library Director Anne Bramblett Barr said in a statement. "This grant will provide some of the funds for an expansion project slated for construction later this year. We certainly thank Sen. Yudichak for his continuing support of the library and our programs."
The library reopened a year ago after renovations to repair significant damage from the 4 feet of water it took on during the Sept. 8-9, 2011 flood. The grant will be used to partly fund an expansion that includes a new section to be built above the floodplain.
"The West Pittston Library has been one of the cornerstones of our community since the late 1800s and this grant will ensure that it continues to serve as one of our most valuable resources into the future," Yudichak said. "I applaud the administration for making a dedicated impact to funding much-needed improvements and upgrades to local libraries across the commonwealth."
The grant was one of 15 Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund grants totaling $3.7 million awarded to public libraries Thursday.

Capital markets regulator Sebi has decided to conduct a nationwide survey to take stock of the savings and investment trends among the Indian households and ascertain the impact and changing dynamics of securities market.
The proposed 'Investor Survey' would cover the entire country -- 29 states and 7 union territories -- and would have a sample size of approximately 50,000 households and 1000 market participants.
This is the second major survey being undertaken by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) after a previous one in 2008-09, which was conducted immediately after global recession and the Indian markets undergone significant changes since then.
According to Sebi, the new survey would seek to determine savings and investment behaviour of households, and understand the investment pattern in various instruments depending upon education, financial literacy, income, consumption, location and other demographic factors.
The survey would also determine risk profile of the investors and relate it to savings and investment behaviour, estimate the number of household investors in the securities market, find out the reasons for non-investment in securities market and understand the impact of regulatory policies on investment in securities market.
The survey would find out the impact of investor education on investments, compare the results of the previous survey with the current one and find out changes in investor population (growth/decline) as well as their behaviour etc.
Besides, it would also help in understanding the response of various market participants under dynamic market situations, their perspective on investor awareness, penetration of securities market, business environment and concerns on regulatory aspects etc.
The regulator has decided to rope in an independent survey agency for the job and the interested agencies would need to submit an expression of interest by the end of this month.
In the last five years, the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty have gained over 100 per cent, while household investment in financial assets has increased by just about 33 per cent from Rs 7,26,900 crore in 2008-09 to Rs 10,96,900 crore in 2012-13.
"Further, there are several policy initiatives and introduction of new products in the securities market. These developments are likely to have an influence on the investment pattern and investment behaviour of households," Sebi said while inviting EoIs for the proposed survey.
"The advancements in technological innovations have impacted the market dynamics and influenced businesses of various market participants," it added.
"Thus, there is a requirement of

Shanghai, Oct 15 (TruthDive): Leander Paes -Radek Stepanek have won men's doubles in the Shanghai Masters, after beating Mahesh Bhupathi – Rohan Bopanna pair for 6-7(7) 6—3 10—5, in Shanghai yesterday. After losing the first set for 6-7, Paes-Stepanek pair came back well enough to win the next two sets.
The fourth seeds, Indo—Czech pair broke their opposite players twice to win the match and took over the trophy in about 1 hour 36 minutes. Indian veteran player Leander Paes, 39, said that he was exactly at the career stage when he was "playing for history and playing for milestones."
It was more like a grudge game for Leander Paes as both Bopanna and Bhupathi had denied pairing with him at London Olympics.
Paes said that this match was more like a personal match for all the three Indian players. Radek Stepanek joined with Leander Paes and has made the match a great fun for him. Now, he is relaxed, joked and laughed. He said that he stayed relaxed.
Paes and Stepanek joined together at the beginning of the season and have won the Australian Open and Miami Masters. They were the finalists at the last month's US Open and have come to Shanghai after finishing as runners-up at Japan Open in Tokyo.
Leander Paes said that they had a great year, as it started with a big bang. Doing well in the early partnership is usually what happens. But, continuing to play well all through the whole year indicates the quality of the game that they play, he said.
The winning player Paes said that for him personally what he really likes playing with his partner Radek is that they are looking to develop all time. Paes and Stepanek pair is already qualified for the season-ending World Tour Finals in London and they have shared a USD 207,320 amount.

^ Exactly what I was thinking. I don't think there's any need for those odd notches in the silverware, clean up the sharp edge of the knife, then make the fork prongs even. Also, you may want to go ahead and center the pig head inside the collar. It's slightly to the left as it is.
