The message within the subject line is the message I had received when making a futile attempt to re-load my newly purchased Studio 1535 laptop from a Windows Vista Business Edition DVD.
I have searched the web and several forums and have seen this issue pop up for others but have not yet come across the resolution.
I contacted Dell Tech support and asked where I may obtain the drivers to complete my load. I was told to visit the Dell site (which I had and which did not contain the drivers needed).
After explaining this to the technician, I was then told that the only way I would be able to complete this load would be to upgrade the OS from the Dell restore DVD that should have been provided with my laptop (which I am awaiting to receive as this was not provided). I was told this "should" contain the needed drivers.
I am wondering if anyone else has had this or a similiar problem? I am also wondering why these drivers aren't available for download from Dell's website? It seems like this sort of "one size fits all" approach to laptop sales and support isn't fitting quite the way I had hoped.

Designing a zero energy house (ZEH) is a complex procedure. A properly functioning ZEH is like a well composed concerto; all systems need to be working seamlessly together to create a masterpiece. The most important requirements include a well insulated building envelope, efficient HVAC, a reliable source of renewable energy and energy efficient appliances. All of these components must work together to create a home that is healthy and produces as much energy as it consumes. Here are 7 tips to designing a ZEH so harmonious, it would make Mozart proud.

Choosing a Contractor for your Green Home
Building a house is one of the most important investments you will make. Hiring an inexperienced green building contractor may cost less initially, but you will pay for it in the long run. Many green building techniques and materials are state-of-the-art and contractors have not had enough experience with them to do a good job. If your contractor has been 'building this way for 20 years', he's probably not the right man for the job. But how, exactly, does one tell the good from the bad and the ugly? Read more

Amvic combines the best of ICF building with tilt-up technology to create the EnerTILT system
The copious advantages of building with concrete are already well established. Concrete is impervious to the destruction caused to wood framed homes by rodents and insects. Mould and mildew also hold no sway and concrete structures are known for their resilience to extremes in inclement weather. Earthquake and fire resistant, concrete structures enjoy lower insurance premiums than their wood framed counterparts. Concrete walls offer increased noise reduction and lower heating and cooling costs. Read more

Each year, fire claims more Canadian lives than all other natural disasters combined. Fires cause billions of dollars in property damage and destroys vital natural areas. To combat loss of life and property, building techniques have been developed to protect your family, home and belongings from fire damage. ICFs are the leading materials in fire safety technology. ICFs block wall systems provide solid concrete, reinforced exteriors that have a 3 to 4 hour fire rating. The exterior Styrofoam insulation simply melts off the walls rather than combusting. A study conducted by the Southwest Pacific Research Institute found the emissions from burning the insulating foam on ICFs "no more toxic" than smoke from wood frame housing. Read more

Over 1,000 tornadoes touch ground in the US every year, leaving a path of devastation as they scatter people's lives across the countryside. This year has seen the deadliest tornado season since 1953. Already, 519 People have lost their lives and billions of dollars of damage was caused as twisters ripped through parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. The magnitude of the devastation has people questioning current building practices and looking for alternatives. Many are turning to ICFs to provide protection from extreme weather conditions.

Investigating the Benefits of Green Roofs and Roof Gardens
The return of the roof garden heralds a new era of greening our urban spaces. Studies espousing the virtues of greenery and fresh air have encouraged many to find environmentally friendly uses for dead roof space. Green roofs and roof gardens offer environmental benefits and save costs for building owners.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, green roofs and roof gardens reduce the heat absorption of the building. If a significant number of roofs are greened, they can reduce the heat island effects of cities. For example, the temperature of Tokyo can be reduced by 0.11 to 0.84 degrees Celsius if half of the rooftops were green. This would result in a savings of $1.2 million a day in energy used to cool buildings in the city. Green roofs capture rain water and reduce run off so storm water drains are better able to cope in times of high rainfall. They improve the air quality and filter smog and pollution from cars and factories. Plants absorb sound and reduce noise pollution. They offer aesthetic appeal and enhance biodiversity. Read more

Microsoft has confirmed it is investigating public proof of concept code for a new un-patched flaw in Windows.
Prevx, an IT security firm, published details of the exploit in a blog posting on Wednesday. "This is a serious flaw because it resides in win32k.sys, the kernel mode part of the Windows subsystem. It is a privilege escalation exploit which allows even limited user accounts to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode," wrote Malware Technology specialist Marco Giuliani.
Giuliani warned that Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 were all vulnerable to attack, including 32-bit and 64-bit editions. Prevx says they have not see any malware exploiting this flaw but warned "we expect to see this exploit being actively used by malware very soon – it's an opportunity that malware writers surely won't miss."
The vulnerability is located in Win32ksys's NtGdiEnableEUDC API according to Prevx. The API is not correctly validating some inputs resulting in a stack overflow. A malicious attacker could redirect the overwritten return address to their malicious code and execute it with kernel mode privileges. As the flaw is a privilege escalation exploit, it bypasses the User Account Control (UAC) and Limited User Account technologies implemented in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Prevx were widely critized after they announced, in November 2009, that a Windows Update was causing a "Black Screen of Death". It was discovered that the black screen was caused by a malware infection on affected PCs. The company issued an apology to Microsoft, stating: "we apologize to Microsoft for any inconvenience our blog may have caused. This has been a challenging issue to identify." Despite the mistake, Prevx remain a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and work very closely with the firm on a number of security threats.
Microsoft confirmed that they are looking into the reports of the latest 0-day flaw. "We're investigating public PoC for a local EoP vuln requiring an account on the target system," said a Microsoft spokesperson.
Update: Security firm Sophos has posted a video to demonstrate the exploit:

I don't know about you, but around this time every year, I seem to get ants popping up around the house. Sometimes there are a whole bunch of them, sometimes it's just a few, but they always show up. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this is an old house and there are probably lots of little holes in the walls for them to get through. This easy homemade ant killing solution has been just the ticket to solve this pest problem for me.
This year, I've only seen a few in my bathroom. Last year though, our living room was practically taken over all of a sudden. Someone must have dropped a piece of cookie one day and that was it. They were coming from a corner of the room and no amount of cleaning or squashing could keep them from coming back. For some reason, I just can never bring myself to put out those scary poisonous-looking ant traps that you can buy in stores. They freak me out, so I've always just kind of suffered with ants and tried to squish them as I saw them. Then I discovered this magical little recipe and they were gone within 24 hours. Completely. And they haven't been back to the living room this year either.
It's so simple but so powerful.
You'll need:
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of water
1 Tablespoon of Borax. (Update! The box now looks like this:Borax Laundry Booster, 76 oz Box)
Mix it all together and you're ready to take action!
If you have pets or kids, you'll want to keep the solution away from them. One idea is to put it in an old plastic container with holes poked in the lid for the ants to get in and put a little bit of plain sugar water (no Borax) outside of the container to lure the ants over.
Since we still have these old peel 'n stick floors here's what I do:
I pour a little puddle of the killing juice on the floor…
Then I take an old tupperware lid and place it over top. I propped it up with a little piece of chalk to give the ants enough room to get in.
However you set up your solution, you'll want to place it right where you previously saw the ants walking to be sure they find it. Once they do, they'll go get all their buddies and they'll all carry it back to the nest. Everyone will party and have a big feast and then they'll die.
OK, now it's sounding really mean and cruel, but trust me, you'll be glad you won't be worrying about ants again this year!
P.S. If you don't think it sounds all that mean and cruel and you love little tips like this, come join me on Facebook to stay updated on all the latest from The Creek Line House!

text: Mechanics 101: The Rube Goldberg method Geek Dad 28 April 11 by Simon Kisner flickr/timothytsuihin When did I you first learn about simple mechanics? I guess I was quite young, but tall enough to balance a book between the top of the doorframe and the door itself, ready to drop when Dad came in. A manually-fired contraption designed to perform the simple task of dropping a book on the old man's head! Basic cause and effect, open door, book falls, ouch! From here I might have graduated on to the water vessel dropping on to the teacher but in fact it was Mousetrap's contraption building that caught my young eye.I was reminded of this recently as I sat fascinated at the recent music video for This Too Shall Pass by LA based band OKgo. These guys are best known for their viral videos that always challenge convention. Previous promos include their one-take treadmill dance and stop motion animation on toast.This Too Shall Pass, is a true feat of engineering that took months, if not years, to design and weeks to shoot. The subject of this video is a Rube Goldberg contraption that swings, rolls, chimes and smashes along with every beat and rhythm of the song in a single shot.Rube was famous for devising incredibly complex machines to perform a simple task. In this case, the ultimate aim of the machine is to fire paint filled balloons at the band members via a series of toy cars, marbles, pulleys, cars, TVs, hammers, gullies, seesaws, bowling balls and... well you get the idea.As complicated as this ramshackle selection of disparate objects appears to the eye of a small child, like the game of mousetrap, it all seems completely do-able. In fact when I showed the video to my nine year old, she was convinced that she could put something like this together.She's quite an inquisitive child and realistic in her goals but she smiled confidently and told me "yes". She was completely absorbed by the contraption and fascinated about how all of these household items fit together to make this amazing machine.She made me play and reply the clip and the next day she had Grandpa login to YouTube for a look as well. But as many times as we watch this marvellous machine, this wasn't the first time my kids had seen something so wondrous! Rubes famous contraptions pop up all over the place and are usually there to illustrate how mad a doctor or inventor might be.Cast your own mind back to a Christmas of your childhood when you might have sat in front of the TV watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Rube inspired Caractacus Potts to build his breakfast making machine. Also you might recall Doctor Emmet Brown with a similar early morning machine in the opening sequence of Back to the Future. You've also seen the iconic Honda cogs advert and the more recent Google chrome ads. Rube gets everywhere.What seems to fascinate and delights my kids about this is that these things are done for real. There is nowhere to hide with one of Rubes contraptions. From the films to the videos to the ads, all of these machines work. For us it's just a few minutes of delight but you can rest assured that a lot of passion and know-how went into designing and constructing these machines to ensure that as one piece knocks against another and swings to another, the whole thing will work perfectly, even if it takes days, weeks and months!And me? I'm keeping a beady eye out in case my kids also get inspired to balance a book or bucket on top of the door, or maybe something a little more elaborate. Simon Kisner is one of our new GeekDads!

Perception is Believing
August 1, 2011
A new sheriff is in town and he wants to make you, the truck driver, look better to our politicians and the general public. Why in the world would the new sheriff want to take on the responsibility of cleaning up the image of truckers? Because he is a trucker and knows that to move the general public and our politicians to stop taking from trucking and give something back so we can haul the freight and keep this country open for freedom and democracy.
The new sheriff is non-other than Gary Salisbury, President and CEO of Fikes Truck Line, Inc. of Hope, Arkansas and now Chairman of the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA). Gary took the Chairmanship at the TCA Annual Meeting in San Diego, California on March 16, 2011. His stated desire is to "Focus on our image as it relates to the public perception, continue to stay on top of issues such as HOS, Independent Contractors, and CSA. We will continue to work closely with the American Trucking Association for the benefit of all truckers". His efforts are to improve the public perception of a truck driver, since that will be the fastest and most effective way to help the regulators and enforcement understand that truckers are people too, good people.
Why Gary and why now? Gary is the perfect person to represent trucking because of his respected reputation, his personal and fact knowledge and his desire to improve our image. He has worked as a driver, dispatch, sales and management. He has such a quick wit and easy humor to hold you spellbound and that is even before he starts to tell his stories. As CEO he is able to inject facts into the discussion and justify his position with logic and his ability to foresee what the next issue will probably become.
It's now or never. There are several new changes coming to trucking such as Hours of Service and Electronic On Board Recorders just to name two in the rule making process now. If we can bring public perception of trucking over to our side, then working on the regulatory and legislative issues will be easier and we should receive better results, all because of how the public thinks of truckers. "When it comes to image, we're in the driver's seat of our own destiny. If we don't grab the wheel, somebody else will," he said.
As Chairman of TCA, "Our members want to make sure that we lead on issues that impact truckload. To that end, we have taken proactive positions on several key issues including: 1) TCA disagrees with the proposed HOS rule and will join other industry partners to work against it if it is promulgated as written. 2) We support electronic logging devices (ELDs) for the purpose of HOS compliance only. There is an important distinction between ELDs and EOBRs; we do NOT support access to information that is not directly tied to HOS compliance. 3) We support the current rules in place for drug and alcohol testing and we continue to push for a national clearing house for drug and alcohol test results. 4) We support raising the broker bond requirement to $100,000. 5) We support a fuel tax increase provided monies raised go to highway infrastructure."
Let me tell you a little more about Gary so you can understand why he is the perfect person to improve the image of trucking. I asked him the following questions to allow you better insight into how and why we should all get behind his leadership on our trucking image.
Why did you choose to enter the trucking industry? "I loved the thought of driving a truck across this great country. Even as a child I wanted to be a trucker, it has worked out for me. A lot of work no doubt."
Do you own a truck? "I still own the best big truck ever made, a 1979 Kenworth W900A. I'm an old school, big hood kind of guy and as they say, I love that truck."
Do you attend truck shows like the ones in Louisville, KY and Las Vegas, NV? "I do and I love it. It gives me the opportunity to speak with independent contractors from all over. Of course I try to persuade them to work for Fikes, but I really love and appreciate the chance to drive our truck to these shows because trucking is in my blood."
Would you advise a family member to go into trucking, why? "Yes I would and I have. The reason I would offer that advice is simply because of all the opportunities that you have in a growing and solid industry. One I am very proud to be a part of."
Your next step in trucking? "Good question, as for my next step, I will continue to push for a change in the public perception of our industry and the importance of what we do."
Would you do it all over again? "Yes sir, every load, town and company…….. well maybe not the week layover in Albany New York."
Tell me something about Fikes Truck Lines, Inc. "We hire only Independent Contractors because it has been our business model from day one. It works well for us, and it works well for the guys leased to us. I don't want millions of dollars tied up in equipment setting against a fence because we can't find drivers. In a nutshell, It's a smart way to do business. However it is not for everyone and I respect that."
Tell me where you want to take Fikes in the next 5 years. "We would like to get back to our pre 2009 numbers, around 500 contractors; this enables us to meet the demand from our partnered shippers and some capacity to expand our foot print in the open-deck market."
Let me tell you a little story that happened to me and it may make your understand why you should get behind Gary Salisbury and the TCA to improve the image of truckers. My wife and I were on vacation near Reno, Nevada. She was driving the rental car and we were going up the mountain on our way to Virginia City to see the mines and of course the tourist traps. I notice her driving faster and faster, eyes flashing from the road to the rear view mirror, she was getting nervous and I could see the anxiety in her face and hear it in her voice. "What's wrong", I asked.
She looked at me with great big eyes and said, "It's a blow-up truck right behind us!!" I had no idea what a "blow-up truck" so I turned around to see a tanker behind us, and it looked a little too close to me for comfort although not close enough to warrant a ticket for following too close. She saw a pull-off coming up so she jerked the wheels to the pull-off and we skidded to a stop on the gravel, too close to the guard rail for me though. It took a full 10 minutes for her to calm down enough for us to proceed.
How many people see us as "blow-up trucks" or worse when they look in their rear view mirror? Do you really think the "Big Teeth" on the radiator we have all seen helps your image? How much better chance trucking would have with regulations and legislation if the public never even considered a truck to be a "blow-up" truck? Let's bring back our old image of Highway Angels, someone to help you on the side of the road. Let's become something a kid wants to grow up to be something you would be proud to have your child become, a trucker with a good safe job and a well-paying career.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — February's ice storm, which damaged 1.5 million acres of South Carolina forestland, promises to disrupt the supply chain of the state's $17.4 billion forestry industry.
The storm, which struck just before Valentine's Day, left a 170-mile-long, 70-mile-wide trail of timber damage through 21 counties, extending from the Savannah River to the North Carolina border, the S.C. Forestry Commission said.
Roughly 11% of forestland suffered direct or intermediate timber losses, the commission said. The industry, which employs 90,000 workers, suffered $360 million in damages, the commission added.

"The raw material supply chain for our state's largest manufacturing sector has suffered from this natural disaster," said State Forester Henry E. Kodama. "The storm has impacted hundreds of thousands of individual forestland owners and multiple corporations."
About 25,000 to 30,000 acres of forests will have to be salvaged and replanted, the commission said, adding that the loss to the timber industry was the worst since Hurricane Hugo raked the state in 1989, causing about $1 billion in damage.
Ironically, most of the damage from February's storm was inflicted on pulpwood size trees between 15 to 25 years old, many of which were planted to make up for the loss caused by Hugo.
The trees, 7- to 9-inches in diameter, are used mostly by pulp and paper mills, and to make oriented strand board.
Tim Gammell, editor of North American Wood Fiber Review, a trade journal that tracks the timber industry, said in an email to SC Biz News there may be a lot of pulpwood available, as well as the tops trees and branches that could be fed to S.C.'s biomass power plants.
Four biomass power plants in the areas where much of the damage occurred could absorb much of the pulpwood that will be salvaged. Those facilities include Ameresco's alternate fuels plant in the Aiken County town of Jackson, EDF's two 18 MW plants in Allendale and Dorchester counties, and Sonoco's co-generation unit in the Darlington County town of Hartsville.
"Higher value sawlogs will normally find homes quickly. It is usually the lower quality, smaller and damaged material that is a problem," Gammell said. "Biomass plants and other facilities using this woody biomass for power or steam generation can use it."
Gammell doubts there will be any shortages of products because damaged timber tends to increase short-term availability.
"The real limitation is the number of logging contractors available to gear up, change plans and concentrate on removing the material while still servicing their normal contracts with customers," Gammell said. "S.C. has a pretty good infrastructure of contractors and plants that have experience in finding markets and handling logistics."
Gov. Nikki Haley's signing of a temporary order allowing larger loads to be carried by logging trucks — up to 90,000 pounds gross per vehicle versus the usual 80,000-pound limit — should "ease a bottleneck of trucking capacity to get salvaged material to the mills (pulpmills, saw or stud mills, biomass plants)," Gammell said.
"It will also ease any price increases for pulpwood. Salvaging is nearly always more expensive than straight harvesting, but the trucking rate may decrease due to higher load allowances, and thus compensate to some extent," Gammell said.
Landowners can expect to receive only 15% to 20% value for the timber that will be salvaged, said Cam Crawford, president of the S.C. Forestry Association.
"It gets back to supply and demand," Crawford said. "It's obvious that there's a lot of supply right now, so you're not going to get top dollar."
The upside, though, is that an increase in general construction and homebuilding will absorb damaged timber that can be shredded and used for OSB, a particle board that's used as sheathing in walls, flooring, and roof decking.
"Had this happened in 2008-2009 at the worst of the recession, it would have been devastating because there wasn't much of a market," Crawford said.
Wes Godbee, area procurement manager, for Georgia-Pacific, which has seven manufacturing facilities in South Carolina, including OSB plants in Allendale and Clarendon counties, and sawmills in McCormick and Newberry, said the company has been receiving both damaged and clear-cut wood.
"We are currently buying wood from the ice-damaged areas as long as it meets our specifications, and it will be utilized by all of our forest products mills in these areas," Godbee said. He added that some of the wood is too small or broken into shorter pieces to be used.
"We are working with area loggers to clean up as much as possible because with warmer weather approaching, the material will begin to degrade and become unusable in our process," Godbee said.
The forest industry's supply chain is more local than other manufacturing sectors, Kodama said. Companies that make airplanes, tires or cars draw their raw materials from all over the world. Often, when they lose a source they can get another.
However, a sawmill or OSB plant operation is limited to local resources.
"It can only exist on the wood resource that's within 50 to 100 miles from that mill," Kodama said. "The resource can only be delivered by truck. You can't order wood from Mississippi or Canada or Brazil."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have breast reconstruction?
It is never medically necessary to have breast reconstruction. This is considered an elective procedure, meaning you can choose to have it done or not. Some women choose to have a mastectomy (removal of breast tissue) without reconstruction. Federal law mandates all insurance plans pay for breast reconstruction for breast cancer.
What is the difference between immediate and delayed reconstruction?
Many patients prefer to have reconstruction done (or at least the process started) at the same time as their mastectomy. Breast reconstruction performed at the same time as your mastectomy is called immediate reconstruction. Delayed reconstruction is a term used if you choose to have the mastectomy done and then wait to have the reconstruction at a later date.
The majority of the surgeries done at Albany Medical Center are immediate reconstruction. With immediate reconstruction, you are decreasing the overall number of surgeries you may need. You have a better chance at an optimal cosmetic result. For many women, there is a psychological benefit to immediately pursuing reconstruction.
Are all women candidates for immediate breast reconstruction?
The vast majority of women are candidates for reconstruction. There are a variety of reconstructive options and you may not be a candidate for all types. You and your plastic surgeon will discuss which type of breast reconstruction is best for you.
What are the major types of reconstruction available?
There are three types of breast reconstruction. The first is tissue expander reconstruction, also known as implant reconstruction. The second is autologous tissue reconstruction, also known as free flap reconstruction which is a procedure where your plastic surgeon uses your own tissues, typically from the abdomen but can also come from your buttocks and thighs. The third is a combination of the two methods, using your own tissue from the back, latissimus muscle, plus a tissue expander/ implant underneath.
In addition, Albany Med offers nipple and areola reconstruction and tattooing.
Do implants last forever?
Implants are not lifetime devices; both saline and silicone implants can rupture or leak. If you have saline implants, you will notice a slow deflation of the implant. The body is able to absorb the saline leaking out of the implant and over a few days to a week and you will notice that your implant is getting smaller.
If you have silicone implants, there may be a change in the shape of the implant, however most of the time, there is no change at all. The only way to detect a leak in a silicone implant is through MRI.
Implant ruptures rates, regardless of saline or silicone, are approximately 1% per year; this means that your implant can rupture at any time after being placed.
Why do I need tissue expansion? My friend had breast augmentation and they just put the implants in without tissue expansion.
Placing implants after a mastectomy is very different than putting in implants for cosmetic augmentation. When women have a cosmetic augmentation, their skin and breast tissue is left intact. These healthy tissues are better able to stretch and accommodate the breast implant. During a mastectomy, the breast surgeon needs to remove some skin along with the nipple/ areola complex. This skin deficit does not usually allow for an immediate implant placement. There are some cases where the breast surgeon will leave the nipple/ areolar complex. Immediate implant placement can be done, however we are limited in the size of implant with this option and symmetry with the contralateral breast is not always achieved.
I may need chemotherapy, can I still have implants?
Women who need chemotherapy after the mastectomy are still candidates for implants. Sometimes we need to adjust the surgery date based on your chemotherapy schedule. For example, we will postpone your second stage surgery (to remove tissue expanders and place the implants) until you have recovered from your chemotherapy. Your plastic surgeon and medical oncologist will decide in what is best for you. Women undergoing chemotherapy may also take longer to heal from incisions. The impact of this is normal and expected.
I may need (or have already had) radiation to my breast area. Can I still have implants?
Radiation on implants is something that needs to be discussed carefully with your surgeon. It is true that women who have implants and radiation are at higher risk for complications, such as capsular contracture and implant loss.
What do I need to do for surgery?
Once you have decided to undergo mastectomy and reconstruction, you will need to decide what type of reconstruction you desire. You will then need to contact your surgeons to let them know you are ready to schedule your procedure. A pre-operative appointment will be set up for you in which you will need pre-operative blood work and other studies. Sometimes, you will require medical or cardiology clearance.
If you choose mastectomy and tissue expander/implant reconstruction, you should plan to be in the hospital one to two days with recovery at home of approximately four weeks. You can expect your first tissue expansion at two weeks post-operatively. Exchange of the tissue expansion for implant will occur around three months after your final expansion, but this may vary depending on if you need chemotherapy or radiation.
How long will I be out of work for?
For implant reconstruction, most women take four weeks off following the mastectomy and placement of the tissue expanders and one week off of work after the second surgery (removal of the tissue expanders and placement of the permanent implant). Many women are able to return to work during the tissue expansion process.
For tissue flap reconstruction, women generally take four to six weeks off of work.
When can I drive?
It is safe to resume driving when all drains are out (more about these below), when you are off all prescription pain medication and when you have regained safe range of motion of your arms. For most women, this is about three or four weeks after the mastectomy surgery.
Tell me about the surgical drains.
Drains are placed under the skin during surgery to remove what fluids the body produces after surgery. The drain looks like a narrow plastic tubing that connects to a drainage bulb, which is the size of a closed fist. The drains expedite the drainage process and help decrease the chance of a seroma or fluid collection. You will go home with drains. On average, drains may stay in one to three weeks. You will usually have two drains underneath the arms on the side of your mastectomy. If you use your own tissue, you will have two drains in the abdominal area as well. The drains are easy to care for. You and your family members will be taught how to care for them while you are in the hospital. Generally you will need to strip the tubing to make sure the tube stays open and empty the fluid into a measuring cup. You will need to keep track of the 24 hour total of fluid from each drain.
What activity limitation do I have?
While the drains are in, you cannot take a bath or submerge yourself into water. You may shower with drains. You should limit reaching and excessive stretching of your arms immediately after your mastectomy. Once the drains from your breast are removed, you may be given limited exercises to start, generally range of motion exercises. If you have tissue taken from your abdomen, you will not be able to lift anything more than five pounds (a gallon of milk) or do any strenuous exercises for six weeks. Walking is fine and can actually speed up your recovery.
What if I am not happy with the shape or size of my reconstructed breast after the surgery?
Revision of the breast can be done after you are healed from the primary reconstruction surgery. There are techniques that the plastic surgeon can do to improve the shape and size of the reconstructed breast to achieve a better symmetry with the other breast; or if both breasts are reconstructed, with each other. Depending on whether implants or a flap was used in the reconstruction, options can include:
- Fat grafting- taking fat from somewhere else on the body, usually the abdomen or thighs, using liposuction and injecting it into the breast flap or around the implant.
- Excision or removal of extra skin or fatty tissue- to make the breast flap smaller or less bulky.
- Placing an implant under the breast flap- similar to a breast augmentation using saline or silicone implants.
How do you make my other breast look like the reconstructed breast and is this covered by insurance?
Once you are completely healed from the breast reconstruction and finished with all of the revision surgeries, your other breast is shaped to match the reconstructed breast. This can be done by reducing the size of the breast with performing a breast reduction or possibly increasing the size of the breast with a breast augmentation using implants. If the breast is drooping, we may also lift the breast to match the height of the reconstructed breast. You will never achieve complete symmetry however, we can try to match the breasts as close as possible using all of the above options. These procedures are all covered by insurance.

WASHINGTON A divided Federal Communications Commission agreed Thursday to collect public comment on lifting a 22-year ban against cellular service on planes, but the Department of Transportation will consider its own ban on voice calls, texts or data.
The FCC voted 3 to 2 Thursday to collect public comment on a proposal to lift the ban against cellular service on planes, even as the chairman said he hopes to lift the ban in 2014.
The secretary of Transportation said his department will consider its own cellular rule, which could continue the ban, at least on voice calls aboard flights.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said new technology that allows planes to carry essentially their own cell towers made the 1991 ban obsolete, because it was adopted to prevent interference with ground-based communication.

Is Twitter Safe?riasharon
I was reading an article today about how smartphone pics are embedded with GPS data, making the pics I upload to Twitter a way that stalkers and wrongdoers can figure out my exact latitude and longitude. The subject made me think again about the information we freely share online and how it relates to our personal safety. This topic has been a subject of much debate between me and my friends, both those involved in social media and those that are not. Is Twitter really the space that I need to worry about? I mean, I was held up at gunpoint when I was in D.C. a few years ago… and I don't think they found me because of Twitter or TwitPic or FourSquare.
Whether we like it or not, the virtual/online world, along with cyberbullying and cyberstalking is here to stay… for me and for my children and their children. So managing my online presence in a way that I feel is secure for myself and for my family is important to me. But if I begin to get paranoid about what I share in a space like Twitter, shouldn't I be equally as paranoid about the casual conversations I drop in public spaces "in the real world?"
I make it a point not to publish my children's real names on my blog, on Twitter, or even on my Facebook personal profile. But I do say their names out loud at the grocery store. Sometimes, I even yell them really loudly at parks and playgrounds! And in those situations, the potential pedophile doesn't need GPS data from my phone to locate the kid that could be less than 100 feet away. How can I freely choose to expose my children to the dangers at my local playground?!?!
That's the conclusion I come to… that yes, there is a certain amount of risk involved in sharing pieces of my life online, but not any more than the risk I take when I walk outside every day. If someone wanted to "take me out" (and I'm not talking about a date in this case), then I doubt they would need to check my Twitter stream to find out where I'll be on any given day. It's not exactly a state secret, if you know what I mean.
I happen to believe (based on my own real life experience) that there is more good out there than bad — "out there" being the world in general, online and offline.

Expect to see lots of bears on the streets of downtown Glendale this weekend. Not to worry. No claws and teeth will be involved.
The Glendale Visitor Center is celebrating National Teddy Bear Day on Saturday with bear-themed arts and crafts, a teddy bear picnic and special deals at shops and restaurants throughout the downtown.
"This is the fifth year we've done this event because it seems like no matter what age people are, they just can't resist teddy bears," said Lorraine Pino, tourism manager for the Visitor Center. "This is a great day to bring the whole family and just spend the day having some fun downtown with your teddy."
Guests can start their day at the visitor center, where the first 500 people can pick up a gift bag with maps and coupons and spin a prize wheel. Then they can cruise the area in the air-conditioned Glendale Express Shuttle, which will provide rides throughout Old Towne and Catlin Court all day.
Special discounts and prizes will be given out at businesses throughout the area, visitors can spend some time making chocolate teddy bears at the Cerreta Candy Co., handmade cards at the Creative Quest and teddy bear bracelets at the Bead Museum.
Visitors can also join the teddy bear picnic in Murphy Park and get their picture taken with Al the Bear, a huggable mascot.
One store that is always celebrating the teddy bear is Bears & More. Housed in a historic home in Catlin Court, this shop has been selling all variety of stuffed bears for more than 17 years. On Saturday, the store will give away a free gift with purchase and give visitors a free photo with their favorite bear.
Bears & More co-owner Valerie Burner said teddy bears are the kind of toys that never go out of style.
"Every new generation there are new kids and adults that fall in love with teddy bears," said Burner, who runs the store with her mother-in-law Linda. "For kids, these bears can become little imaginary friends and no matter how old you are, there's something great about hugging a teddy bear."
The visitor center will also host a teddy bear drive to benefit the Glendale Fire Department's Trauma Teddy Program. New, factory-wrapped bears will be accepted and these toys will be given out to comfort children that have been involved in or witnessed crimes, fires or accident scenes. Gently used bears will also be accepted to benefit children at homeless and domestic violence shelters.
"Our community has really gotten behind this drive because these bears are really a comfort for children that have been through a traumatic experience," said Pino, who said last year's drive collected more than 200 new bears. "Teddy bears can be pretty important in a time of need, and that's another good reason to come down and celebrate National Teddy Bear Day with us."
Michaela Cerreta, 17, decorates chocolate teddy bears with various sweets at Cerreta Candy Company in Glendale during the third annual Teddy Bear Day in Sept. 2007.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Scrub the clams under cold running water.
Pry them open and rinse out any sand or grit.
Gently separate the top and bottom shells, loosening and allowing the clam to divide, with some remaining on the top shell and some remaining on the bottom shell.
Use a knife to loosen the clam in the shell, removing any sand or grit that may have been under the clam. All of the clams may not divide evenly between the top and bottom shell. Cut these clams into small pieces and distribute among the other shells. You should have at least 16 clamshell halves to fill and bake. Arrange the clam-filled shells on a baking sheet and set aside.
In a small bowl, toss together the bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic. Use a fork to stir the olive oil into this mixture. It should be moist but not oily. Set aside.
Fill each clam with a portion of the topping mixture, spreading it evenly over the clam to the edge of the shell. The filling should be about 1/8-inch thick.
Bake until the topping begins to brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and adjust oven temperature to broil. Place the clams under the broiler and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.

With $116,938 from contributors and another $279,527 of his own money invested in his congressional bid as of Dec. 31, former state Rep. Carl Domino is the top money-raiser among Republicans who have filed for the Palm Beach-Treasure Coast District 18 seat of U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter.
Murphy raised $2.6 million through Dec. 31, which may make him the top Democratic money-raiser in the House this year.
Even setting aside Murphy's prodigious fundraising, the money raised by Domino and other Republican candidates in District 18 should set off warning bells for the GOP in a race the party has billed as a top national priority. Recent history shows Domino and the GOP field are lagging behind the fundraising of other challengers who unseated congressional incumbents in Palm Beach County districts.
Since 2006, five members of Palm Beach County's congressional delegation have lost their seats — Republican Reps. Clay Shaw and Mark Foley in 2006 (Foley resigned before the election, but his name remained on the ballot), Democratic Rep. Tim Mahoney in 2008, Democratic Rep. Ron Klein in 2010 and Republican Rep. Allen West in 2012.
In each of those cases, the winning challenger had raised more money from contributors by Dec. 31 of the year before the election than Domino has raised. Even when his substantial personal contribution is added in, Domino lags behind four of the five successful challengers in total fundraising.

Stand Up For Health At Work
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the treadmill desks as reported by NPR and redOrbit. Well, On December 1, 2012, The New York Times continued this discussion. The article addresses the very real health issues associated with sitting too long. In fact, it went a couple of steps further in discussing that even relatively active, healthy individuals suffer from sitting too long. It also discussed how we sit much more today than even fifty years ago because of technology.
The New York Times article listed several ergonomic options for being more active, which lead to sitting less. Of course, Dr. James Levine's treadmill desk was top on the list as were the other treadmill desk alternatives. What a great invention the treadmill desk is! The more exposure it receives, the better and healthier we will all be.
But the article also identified several other options for less sitting and more action. First, it talked about the kangaroo desk, which can telescope so that people can alternate between sitting and standing. Definitely a beneficial idea.
Another option for more active desk work is the upright desk, which is a desk where people stand to work. The kangaroo desk moves to one where people can either sit or stand, but upright desks are those where people just stand.
All of these office furniture choices promote health because they require workers to be more active. This is important because even those who exercise regularly suffer the consequences of too much sitting. The New York Times article noted that people who sit at a desk for more than an hour experience such health declines as lowered HDL (you know, the good cholesterol), slowed metabolism of glucose, and a decline in the enzymes that burn fat. This happens to everyone, no matter how healthy or active they are. All of these lead to heart issues and possibly Type 2 diabetes.
Suddenly, a treadmill desk or upright desk don't look so bad.
Some people even work at home on recumbent bikes and such. They watch television, read, and talk to others while on these bikes. There is real hope in the abundance of these articles stressing more activity.
The more exposure we have to information about the importance of being active, the more likely we are to actually become active. The studies of sedentary lifestyles provide us with the knowledge and information we need to convince our companies of the importance of being active even at work. When so much work is completed using technology like computers, we find ourselves sitting for long periods working on projects and reports and, like in my case, emails and grading and research.
For so long, people have become acclimated to sitting while we work, but we can stand to type and troll the web just as easily as we can sit. And this simple move to standing will help circulation, which helps the brain thus we work better. Of course, alternating between sitting and standing is good, too.
What is important is that we don't get stuck just sitting behind a desk staring at a computer and working all day. For me, I take five to ten minute breaks every hour. I walk around my campus sometimes with purpose and sometimes just to take a break. Because I work in higher education, I know that we do not have the budget for a treadmill desk, no matter how beneficial it might be, so I have found a way to simulate, at least to some degree, the treadmill desk benefits.

text: Just wondering if people have any tips for farming these collections. I have used a few scanners to try and find the spawn points and be able to camp them, but they rarely ever drop. Its not like there are swarms of people trying to get them either, most of the time theres only 5 - 10 people in the nearby area. Are these collections glitched? From my understanding all of the collections (Phobias, personal collection etc) are randomly assigned to a collection ticket and those tickets only spawn every 10 minutes. Personally i dont see how this works as i see maybe 1 every 30 minutes. Does anyone have an accurate time for the re-spawn of these tickets, and whether camping the spawn makes a difference to the time, or if phase switching is more effective etc.

Fox // 2013 // 94 Minutes // Rated R
Reviewed by Judge David Johnson // July 3rd, 2013
12 rounds 2 many.
WWE Films returns to its moderately decent action franchise with a new wrestler in the headlining role and a new villain cooking up another ridiculous scheme. The only difference? A lot less action. Also, it's dumb.
For paramedic Nick Malloy (Randy Orton), it was just supposed to a romantic night on the town with his beloved: a tasty dinner, a leisurely stroll on the boardwalk. But a violent car crash shatters his evening and he calls upon his impressive array of paramedic skills to intercede.
One year later, Nick is called to an accident and while he's working, he receives a call from a mysterious man who claims to be holding his wife. If Nick doesn't play along with the caller's insane game, his wide is dead, So begins a frantic night, with Nick jumping through hoops, desperate to keep his wife alive and occasionally punching someone.
I liked the original 12 Rounds. It didn't necessarily break the mold in the action genre, but the John Cena-fronted adventure was well staged and, more than a few times, produced genuine thrills. At the very least, it deserved its theatrical exposure.
The sequel, unfortunately, reveals itself to be absolutely a straight-to-video production, with all the shortcomings that are typically associated with such a release: 12 Rounds 2 (as nonsensical a title I've ever seen) sports below-average production values, acting that varies between stiff and overwrought and a series of uninspiring action set-ups.
First, Orton. Anyone who's ever seen the guy in the ring can attest to his physical presence. The dude is humongous and can scowl with reckless abandon; I was legitimately looking forward to his first movie turn. Two problems: 1) he doesn't actually to get to do any fighting, save for a brief moment where he has to disinterestedly beat up a few cops and 2) if he's not fighting and forced to deliver lines, well, it can get pretty ugly. The guy is wasted trying to emote; give him some skulls to crack.
The lack of which is ultimately the most bothersome aspect of the film. There's only one villain and he opts for the psychological mind-screw route with his 12 rounds. This leads Nick into a handful of mishaps that fail to entertain, but can still be fairly noisy. There's a car chase. And an exploding ambulance. And that cop beatdown. And some other stuff. The hook to the action is that Nick has to complete the challenges by a certain time, so you've got the Double Dare effect carrying the suspense.
Alas, I just couldn't get past the moronic Bad Guy Plan. Especially when his reason for going evil is revealed. It's distractingly convoluted. The first film, of course, was guilty of this incoherence as well, but at least it had some solid action beats to compensate. With 12 Rounds 2 and its dearth of compelling derring-do, we're left with Randy Orton grunting and running an obstacle course. No thanks.
The Blu-ray gets it done, starting with a solid 1.78:1/1080p transfer, bolstered by an aggressive 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. A series of featurettes looking at Orton, the locations, and the action choreography; and DVD, iTunes digital, and UltraViolet copies are your extras.
Please, God, end the franchise here.
Guilty. Let's all have a round to forget this round.

Borne out of the vision of its chief investor, Canadian businessman Peter Munk, Porto Montenegro"s state-of-the-art marina utilises the existing infrastructure of the former Yugoslav naval facility upon which it is built. It will feature 630 berths for yachts, including the largest super yachts, and will provide the highest level of service and amenities for vessels of all sizes – including nearby dry-dock and repair facilities. In addition, the development will create a vibrant coastal community of waterfront residences, hotels and restaurants, shopping, water sports and leisure facilities.
But this is just a part of the story – the rest is the destination itself. Porto Montenegro lies within one of the world"s most idyllic nautical playgrounds: the Bay of Kotor. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Bay of Kotor is Europe"s southernmost fjord and the largest natural harbour in the eastern Mediterranean.
"Yachts are getting bigger and bigger and people are complaining that they can't find proper berths for them. That's no problem in Tivat. It used to cater to warships." Peter Munk, Chief Investor, Porto Montenegro.

Skadarsko / Skadar Lake – NATIONAL PARK
Skadar/Scadar/Scutari Lake is located in the so called Zeta-Skadar valley that partly belongs to the municipality of the city of Bar and partly to the municipality of the city of Podgorica. Indescribable and in many ways unique, with the size of 391km2, it is the larges lake on the Balkan Peninsula. Driving through the newly build Sozina tunnel, the lake is only a short 20 minute drive away from the Adriatic Sea. The river Bojana creates a connection between Skadar/Scadar/Scutari Lake and the Adriatic Sea though a large mountain massive that separates the two. Two thirds of the lake belongs to Montenegro, while one third belongs to the Republic of Albania. The Montenegrin part of the lake, at a size of 40000 hectares, was declared a National Park in 1983.
The region of Skadar/Scadar/Scutari Lake is an area the visitors and tourist to Montenegro must come to see to believe that such a place of natural beauty indeed exists. It is a very attractive destination because of its natural richness, ease of access both from land and sea, and because the conditions are here to meet all types of tourism throughout the entire year: bird watching, excursions to visit cultural-historical monuments, speleologist research, sport-recreational, events and festival, cruising and many more. The sea, the lake and mountains are all located in a circumference of 150km, and offer a variety that can accommodate the tastes and wishes of all guest and tourist.

Controversy over the presence of a Chinese satellite-tracking facility in Tarawa led to a no-confidence vote that brought down the government and to the election of a new president. The controversy also resulted in the termination of ties between China and Kiribati, dismantling of the satellite-tracking facility, and a renewal of ties between Kiribati and Taiwan.
Kiribati has been a constitutional republic since it gained independence from Britain in 1979. The country consists of 33 small islands scattered across nearly 1.5 million square miles of the central Pacific Ocean, as well as Banaba Island in the western Pacific. In 1998, the incumbent president, Teburoro Tito, won a second four-year term, defeating opposition candidates Harry Tong and Amberoti Nikora.
A major issue in the February 2003 presidential election – in which Tito was reelected to a third and final term in office over Taberannang Timeon, a former secretary to the cabinet, by 547 votes – was the presence of a Chinese satellite-tracking facility on the capital atoll of Tarawa. Before the vote, opposition party member Anote Tong (Harry Tong's younger brother) pledged to review the 15-year Chinese lease and "to take the appropriate action at the right time." China's influence became an issue when Harry Tong, a parliament member, asked former president Tito to release details about this lease and Tito refused. Tong also queried Tito about Chinese ambassador Ma Shuxue's acknowledgment that Beijing made a $2,850 donation to a cooperative society linked to Tito. Beijing claims that the facility is part of its civilian space program, but there are allegations that it is used to monitor U.S. missile tests in the Pacific (ultimately, diplomatic ties with Taiwan were resumed on November 1, and China dismantled the tracking station by the end of November).
The controversy led to a no-confidence vote of 40 to 21 against the Tito government in March. Parliament was dissolved and fresh parliamentary and presidential polls were called. In two rounds of parliamentary elections, held on May 9 and 14, the government secured 24 seats against the opposition's 14, with two independent members. However, in July 4 presidential elections, opposition candidate Anote Tong was elected president with 47.4 percent of the vote, defeating rivals Harry Tong of the ruling Maurin Maneaba Party with 43.5 percent and Banuera Berina with 9.1 percent. The race was close, with Anote Tong winning against his brother by only 1,000 votes. Opposition candidates complained that they did not have sufficient access to the government-owned Radio Kiribati station and Te Uekara newspaper during the election campaign.
Political Rights and Civil Liberties
The 2003 presidential and parliamentary elections were considered free and fair. The president is popularly elected in a two-step process. First, a general election chooses representatives to the 42-member parliament, known as the Maneaba ni Maungatabu. Forty of these representatives are chosen by universal adult suffrage, one is nominated by the Rabi Island Council in Fiji, and the attorney general holds an ex-officio assembly position. (Rabi Island is a part of Fiji, but many residents there are of Kiribati origin. They were forced to move there from Banabas Islands by the British when phosphate mining left Banabas Island uninhabitable.) Parliament then fields three or four candidates for the presidential round. The president, vested with executive powers by the constitution, is limited to serving three 4-year terms.
Freedom of speech is generally respected. The government owns Te Uekara, one of the country's two newspapers. Churches also put out several newsletters and other periodicals. The Kiribati Newstar, the only private newspaper in Kiribati, is owned by Ierema Tabai, a former president and member of the opposition party under the government of former president Teburoro Tito. Tabai launched the newspaper after the government blocked his efforts to set up a radio station, Newair FM 101, in 1999. The government closed the station and fined Tabai and other directors of the station for attempting to import broadcasting equipment without a license. In December 2002, the government granted Newair FM 101 a license to broadcast, and the station went into operation in January 2003. Until then, the government had owned the island nation's only radio station, Radio Kiribati. There is one television station and about 1,000 television sets throughout the islands, according to the latest available data from 2000.
Opposition candidates have criticized the Newspaper Registration Act for its vaguely worded restrictions on the printing of offensive materials. The law allows officials to censor articles that could incite or encourage crime or disorder and to shut down any publication against which a complaint has been filed. A single Internet service provider (ISP) supports about 1,000 users. The main constraints to broader Internet access are costs and limited bandwidth.
There were no reports of religious suppression or restrictions on academic freedom.
Freedom of movement and association and the right to organize and bargain collectively are generally respected. There are a number of nongovernmental groups that are involved in development assistance, education, health, and advocacy for women and children. Only about 10 percent of the labor force belongs to unions (90 percent of workers are fishermen and subsistence farmers). The largest is the Kiribati Trade Union Congress with about 2,500 members.
The judicial system is modeled on English common law and provides adequate due process rights. It consists of the High Court, a court of appeal, and magistrates' courts, and appeals may go to the Privy Council in London. The president makes all judicial appointments. The 250-member police force is under civilian control. Traditional customs permit corporal punishment, and island councils on some outer islands occasionally order such punishment for petty theft and other minor offenses.
The government is the main employer in the largely subsistence agricultural economy. The economy also depends considerably on foreign assistance.
Discrimination against women remains strong in a traditional culture of male dominance. Spousal abuse and other forms of violence against women are not uncommon and are often associated with alcohol abuse.

Hi again, I am wondering what I should be doing to keep my bike working well? I don't do anything major. I will probably stick to a 45 minute ride (5-6 times per week) around the neighborhood pulling my son in his baby trailer.
I called a local LBS and they said they would sell me a tuning package. When do I need this? Do I need this? I am pretty handy with tools and such, even though I spend my days developing websites for a living.

It's Friday and that means we have a Makeup for the Weekend Challenge. The challenger this week is Shaela and she's challenging us to make anything but a square or rectangular card. I immediately knew I wanted to make a circle card.
I made the circle card by using scalloped nesties in the largest size, then layered smaller regular circles on top. The dp is from October Afternoon and I cut it with nesties as well, then adhered to the vanilla panel.
I have a friend that is helping take care of her Dad, fortunately, he is in an assisted living program. But, she gets calls all the time; he seems to suffer setbacks often. So, I grabbed When There's Nothing Left to Say sentiment set and chose this sentiment. I wish I was closer so that I could be there for her, but this is the best I can do.
We hope you can play along with us this week. Just use the keyword M4TW47 when you upload to your blog or gallery so your project is easy to find. Then link it to the PMS blog so we can take a look. You don't have to use PMS stamps, but we love to see them if you do!
Have a great weekend!

Avak V. Asadourian, archbishop of the Armenian Church of Iraq, told Ecumenical News International that Christians are fleeing Iraq. Christians make up less than 3 percent of the country of 27.5 million.
Young people "are faced each day with death and destruction," Asadourian said. "They are faced each day with being kidnapped or facing the agony of having a loved one who is kidnapped." In Mosul, he said, a Syrian Orthodox priest was decapitated, apparently for refusing to "adopt another religion," and a Chaldean priest and his three assistants were shot dead.
Iraqi faith "is strong enough to face martyrdom," Asadourian said. But, he added, unless something is done, "I am afraid that Christianity will face a slow demise not only in Iraq but in the entire region where Jesus Christ lived and worked."
Asadourian asked for churches in the West to intercede with their governments about the plight of Iraqis. He said the four years since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq were "the most difficult by far" of his 28-year ministry in Iraq.

This recipe is absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it! I followed the recipe exactly I think the sweetness of the crystalized ginger makes this. I also had some sesame seeds that I added to the tuna before baking which gave it an extra crunch. So good!
Orange, Watercress & Tuna Salad
From EatingWell: January/February 2012
This vibrant salad recipe contrasts flavor, texture and color—the velvety tuna steak is matched with crisp, peppery watercress and the floral tart-sweetness of blood oranges and aniseed. Blood oranges make the dish especially pretty—they're available December through March. If you can't find them, use any oranges that look good.
2 Reviews for Orange, Watercress & Tuna Salad
I made this last night (for 2 - recipe halves easily) and served with a rice side dish. It was delicious and quicker than the 35 minute prep time given. (Most of the time goes into peeling the oranges.) I didn't have Anise seed, so left that out, but the flavor was still remarkable. Will definitely make again! (This Jan/Feb 2012 issue has loads of great recipes!)
