Out of Network Reimbursement
Network dentists and x-ray laboratories ("Participating Providers") who treat members agree to accept contracted rates as payment for the services they provide.
For services provided by dentists and x-ray laboratories who have not contracted to treat members ("Non-Participating Providers"), the amounts that will be allowed for such services and processed for payment ("Non-Participating Provider Reimbursement Amounts") are based on the member contracts. These amounts may be determined based on fee schedules or a database produced by FAIR Health, Inc., as supported by member certificates, and also may be subject to deductibles, co-pays, and other limitations.
Because there is no Provider contract or participating agreement, a Non-Participating Provider has not agreed to a reimbursement rate for services provided to members. Therefore, absent a regulation or law, the Non-Participating Provider can bill the member for the difference between the amounts they charge and the Non-Participating Provider Reimbursement Amount. Members are responsible for paying Non-Participating Providers this difference. Depending on the service, this difference can be substantial.
At this time, Non-Participating Provider Reimbursement Amounts will continue to be determined as described above. This page will be updated if there are any changes to the methods used to determine Non-Participating Provider Reimbursement Amounts.

Topic: Looking for a specialist in California for cholangiocarcinoma
I was diagnosed with bile duct cancer in July, '09 and they said I could not have surgery so chemo and radiation were my only options. I have a mesh wall stent in one of the ducts. I have had 6 weeks of chemo (gemzar) and radiation. The CT scan showed that it has not shrunk nor has it grown. While I was taking the treatments, my CA-19 got as high as 5800 and then started coming down a little. The last blood test showed the CA-19 was down to 2000. I hope it wasn't a mistake. It is still very high but lower than when I started the treatments. Now, it is time to have more chemo and I am hoping to find a doctor that is more familiar with the bile duct cancer than the one I have been going to. If you can help me find a specialist, I would appreciate it. I have sent my records to Dr. Venook who is at UCSF but I do not know anything about him except what is on the internet. I have asked for an appointment but they haven't given me one, yet.

Bruxism - Signs and Symptoms
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stoppler, MD
The habit of grinding, gnashing, grating, or clenching the teeth is termed bruxism, and millions of adults and children are affected by this condition. While its exact cause is unknown, most experts believe that bruxism can occur as a response to increased psychological stress.
Bruxism involves any type of forceful contact between the teeth, whether silent and clenching, or loud and grating. Estimates vary regarding the number of people who suffer from this condition and range from 50-95% of the adult population. Approximately 15% of all children also acquire this condition. Many people are not aware that they have this condition because they grind their teeth at night while asleep, although bruxism can occur during daytime hours as well.
Certain sleep disorders are accompanied by bruxism. Drinking alcohol and taking certain medications (for example, antidepressants) may worsen the bruxism. Malocclusion (improper alignment of the teeth) may also play a causative role or may determine the severity of symptoms related to bruxism. Children may develop bruxism as a response to a cold or other infection and are more likely to develop it when their parents are affected. Some studies show that persons whose personalities may be described as compulsive, controlling, precise, or aggressive have an increased incidence of bruxism.

In Papua New Guinea a growing number of people are now choosing to pray at a mosque rather than a church.
When Allah desires to guide someone, He expands his breast to Islam. When He desires to misguide someone, He makes his breast narrow and constricted as if he were climbing up into the sky. That is how Allah defiles those who do not believe. (Surat al-An'am, 125)Muslims should pray to Allah with a deep love hoping to meet with Allah's mercy and Paradise in the Hereafter. They should strengthen their faith in the deepest way and be thankful to our Lord.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/11/2010 (2456 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The first cheques have arrived. Thanks folks.
Today, we are publishing this year's initial list of donors to the Spirit of Christmas campaign. The total is $4,415, a little shy of last year's number on this date. So, I want to give you all another gentle reminder that the Christmas Cheer Board estimates it will distribute 19,500 hampers this holiday season, and it relies heavily on our campaign here at the Free Press sports department to help fund that effort.
Among our top supporters over the years have been the good people who participate in the IBM Corporate Challenge. Michael Bligh, chairman of the 2010 IBM Corporate Challenge, is spearheading the effort for the third year and he told me Monday that the planning is in high gear.
"We're all fired up... getting all the plans in place," said Bligh. "It's definitely an exciting time of the year."
In its 19th year, the Challenge currently has nine participants fo this year's event, which is being called Christmas Should Happen For Everyone: IBM Canada Ltd., Wellington West Capital Inc., Thompson Dorfman Sweatman LLP, Pollard Banknote Ltd., Manitoba Hydro, Shaw Cable, Bristol Aerospace, Canadian Wheat Board, PeopleFirst HR Services.
Since 1992, the Challenge has raised more than 117,000 pounds of food, more than 14,000 toys, and more than $355,000 through the generosity of the many participating companies. This year, the official challenge runs until Dec. 10 and it hopes to raise 10,000 pounds of non-perishable food, 1,000 new toys and $30,000 cash.
"It really has grown over the years," Bligh explained. "What has really amazed me is that even during difficult economic times, it has still grown and people have still stepped up to help, which has been really nice to see."
Here's how it works: Each participating organization encourages its employees to donate cash, food and toys or prepare and deliver hampers for the event. Participants are recognized and an overall "winner" will be declared based on employee contributions. Each organization receives a participation plaque.
Participants in the Challenge get "credits" for various efforts. For example: $1 cash = 1 point, 1 lb. of food = 2 points, 1 toy = 10 points, commitment to deliver a hamper = 25 points per hamper. There's also significent points for creation of hampers. The companies involved in the Challenge will hold a variey of internal events to help encourage participation in the Challenge.
"We try to have some fun with it," said Blight. "That's certainly part of the appeal, along with raising some money for the Cheer Board, of course."
The Christmas Cheer Board has been providing food, toys and hope to needy families in Winnipeg since 1919. Cheer Board executive director Kai Madsen is appreciative of the IBM Corporate Challenge.
"What a great way for people from so many companies to come to together to make sure that everyone is able to celebrate Christmas," he said. "The IBM Challenge has for many years rallied people to donate food, toys and money -- their efforts makes a huge difference to our community and makes the work of our thousands of volunteers much easier."

Multiple award-winner Leigh Halfpenny will go into this season's RBS 6 Nations Championship established as a genuine rugby superstar.
But Halfpenny is not one for sport's glitz and glamour, even though he has received plenty of red carpet treatment during the past 12 months.
The roll of honour makes for impressive reading - 2013 Six Nations player of the tournament, British and Irish Lions man of the series, BBC Sports Personality of the Year runner-up, BBC Wales Sports Personality of the Year and Rugby Writers' Club player of the year.
He also featured on the International Rugby Board's player of the year shortlist, yet softly spoken Halfpenny readily deflects such adulation.
"The ones that mean the most to me are the team awards," Wales and Cardiff Blues full-back Halfpenny said ahead of Saturday's Six Nations opener against Italy in Cardiff.
"I am just very fortunate to have been involved in two very special teams. I feel very privileged to be part of them.
"To have won a Six Nations for the second time in two years was an incredible feeling, and then to have gone to Australia with the Lions and to go on to win a Test series is something you dream of as a kid. To have been part of it was really special, and something I will remember for the rest of my life."
With his huge emphasis on hard work and an unrelenting commitment to become an even better player, it is wholly fitting that 25-year-old Halfpenny could be in the same team as Jonny Wilkinson next season.
World Cup winner Wilkinson's attention to detail is well chronicled, and, if the celebrated former England fly-half decides to play on next term past his 35th birthday, Halfpenny will be alongside him at Toulon after agreeing a deal reportedly worth around £700,000 a year.
"I am not sure what his future is going to be - whether he stays or not - but it would be incredible to play in the same team as Jonny," Halfpenny added.
"He has been a real role model for me growing up. If he stays, it would be fantastic, but I am just looking forward to joining up with the quality players they have in the team.
"I am happy with the decision (to join Toulon), and now that's out of the way I can focus purely on playing rugby. That is good for me because that is my job and all that I want to do.
"For the time being I have an important Six Nations and I am completely focused on that.
"I am just trying to keep working hard and see where I can improve myself as a player. I'm looking for little details here and there, doing my extras after training.
"I want to do the best I can for the team, and that starts on Saturday against a good Italy team.
"We're coming off the back of an autumn series which was better than the previous year, and there is a great feeling in the squad.
"For us it is a case of knowing what we have to do to be successful and having that belief and determination. We set ourselves very high standards, and we work very hard. It is about trying to make the most of every day."
Halfpenny is closing in on 50 caps and 350 points for Wales, and Wales backs coach Rob Howley said: "His performances over the last 12 months have been absolutely outstanding.
"His diligence, intelligence and how he works are significant indicators as to where he is now. He wants to continue in that vein, and I am sure he will, because he is young and hugely talented."

Swisstonihasher started following Dreaded Bonnet On Cmax Cannot Open, Boden Replaced
Swisstonihasher posted a topic in Ford C-Max ClubOkay all, I know this is a well known issue with the Ford anti-theft and anti customer cannot access your bonnet issue but I wonder if there's a really good fix for this? My 04 Cmax TDCI has the "lock doesn't work" issue, I've replaced the plastic part with OE and it did it again so found a longer "boden" I think they call them on ebay and fitted that but it soon came back. Something is moving within the locking mechanism causing it all not to unlock. Is there a complete kit to replace with a fool proof repair? Not just changing for a new replacement of the same crappy design?
Okay week later after fitting replacement rad and rad control module plus removing the wiring that ford did during the recall...starting issue came back. Wouldnt start at all, turn key and click. Checked relays and fuses. Ended up local garage took it and 280 notes later i have replacement nee starter and more importantly a new starter cable with built in 100 amp fuse or whatever its set at. Id read another article with focus same issue, starter cable fuse breaks and its not shown in haynes manual. Car been dandy since.
Swisstonihasher replied to Swisstonihasher's topic in Ford C-Max ClubOkay plot thickens, decided to remove the recall cabling connectors so fan back as original wiring and wow! The P0691 error has gone and hasn't come back. Yet to see if my starting issue comes back but doesn't seem to be any extra drain on the battery having the wiring back as it was. I checked all of the loom I could, the cabling is in really good condition and no sign of corrosion.
Swisstonihasher replied to Swisstonihasher's topic in Ford C-Max ClubYup that's the one, although I'm sure it looks purple. I'll look at it sat am...I'm hoping I can just put another cable along side it.
Swisstonihasher started following Recommend Battery And Led For 2L Tdci Ghia?
Swisstonihasher posted a topic in Ford C-Max ClubHi all, I've got a couple of issues with "leaking" cables, Po691 and P0380, which I've been working on...but in the mean time I'd like to sort a very heavy duty battery and question the install of LED lights. Anyone recommended a really good battery, where best to get it from? What's the full sp on the LED bulbs change and how much power consumption does it save? Interior and exterior? Does the 2007 rear lights have LED installs and are they a plug in fit to 2004? Its facelift model to mk1?
Swisstonihasher replied to Swisstonihasher's topic in Ford C-Max ClubReading another topic with same fault but from a ford mechanic (paid for advice), said there's a location where the cabling comes out of the PCM (I now know its in the wing, pass side), between that and the connector for the fan module, the loom can sit in water puddles after its been washed or it rains and this causes corrosion? I'm going to remove the headlight and check what I can tomorrow morning, trace this purple cable back. I still wonder if my P0380 error which also relates to circuit issue but glow plug system could be the same set of cabling causing the issue?
Swisstonihasher replied to Swisstonihasher's topic in Ford C-Max ClubI was reading another discussion on this, kept on about the purple wire having corrosion. Any ideas where the loom sits in water, where exactly that point is? So say this causes the issue.
Swisstonihasher liked a post in a topic: Cmax 2L Tdci Engine Fan Error P0691
Swisstonihasher replied to Swisstonihasher's topic in Ford C-Max ClubOkay really peev with car now. 2nd hand fan and module...fitted. reset pcm and went for run only for fault to reappear. P0691. Relay has been changed with matching horn relay so what the hell else can it be? Odd thing is fan works, switch air con on and shes blowing like she should. Confused.com
Swisstonihasher replied to Swisstonihasher's topic in Ford C-Max ClubFunny enough i had the fix but not sure if had p0691 code before then, dont remember seeing it before. It.kinda means the fix isnt a fix.as its my actual.module thats leaking live to earth and the could cause the wires to over heat if im not mistaken? My dealer wont touch it without me payin 100s so trying 2nd hand module.
Swisstonihasher replied to Swisstonihasher's topic in Ford C-Max ClubOkay thanks. Hoping to do this task next weekend so thats where ill look
Swisstonihasher started following P0380 Glow Plug Relay Location?
Swisstonihasher posted a topic in Ford C-Max ClubAnyone have a pic of the 2004 2L TDCI glow plug relay location?
jeebowhite liked a post in a topic: Start Problem 2004 2L Tdci
Okay things have settled a little with this since I'd removed the engine radiator cabling as I knew the module was leaking to earth and did ohms test to prove it (P0691). With cable disconnected, no P0691 code and the battery is staying around 12.8 at night and starting with glow plugs of 12.2 ish instead of 11 or sometimes 10.5 for a short second or two till glow plugs go out. I've still got P0380 being posted but she starts so well I might just replace the relay and not bother with the nightmare glow plugs. Replacement rad and module on way...should have her sorted soon!
Swisstonihasher started following Cmax 2L Tdci Engine Fan Error P0691
Swisstonihasher posted a topic in Ford C-Max ClubHi all. Already done some leg work on this and know p0691 relates to fan and its leak to earth. Just checking my math on this really...when disconnected module plug. Doing ohms test on that plug i get a reading between the positive and negative connectors. That means it open circuit and will be causing a drain correct? Need replace module?
Any places recommend to get the Glow Plug Relay from? Fordparts want £50 just for the relay. I've been charging the battery every night now and she starts instantly with voltages from 12.8 to 12.5 before cranking, I'll replace the battery shortly as I cannot do anything with warranty now that the place I bought it from has gone into administration.
Does anyone know if the P0380 error code could be from a battery running low all the time (12.4 or below) or from the faulty glow plug relay, or could the glow plug relay cause a leak which could drain the battery? I'm getting a non cranking car, its not that it wont start, when it does turn over it starts first time every time. Any ideas what will cause the car not to turn over? Ignition barrel seems to be okay?

Arizona State University submitted a proposal to the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) that would have no increase on undergraduate in-state tuition during the 2012-13 academic year.
The proposal did, however, include a 3-percent increase on out-of-state tuition.
The Arizona Board of Regents will vote on the proposal in early April.
The 3-percent increase on out-of-state tuition will apply to both undergraduate and graduate students. The specific amounts for out-of-state undergraduate students will now range from $589 to $654, depending on the student's program. For in-state graduate students, the proposed case increase is $291 and for out-of-state graduates, that number is $715.
Tuition levels beyond the 2012-13 academic year will heavily depend on the level of investments and other factors. ABOR does, however, have proposed a plan to the legislature that would bring an addition $60 million to the university in state funding over the next five years.
Tuition hearing are scheduled from Wednesday March 28th from 5pm to 7pm at each of ASU's four campuses: Alumni Lounge in the Memorial Union at the Tempe campus; La Sala C at the West campus; Cooley Ballroom B at the Polytechnic campus; and NHI2-110 at the downtown campus.
Those who are unable to attend the hearings can send their comments, which regents will preview before the April 5-6 ABOR meeting, through fax, email or regular mail at: email@example.com; 2020 N. Central Ave., Suite 230, Phoenix, AZ 85004; or 602-229-2555.

DETROIT - A 24-year-old man who was on leave from the US Navy was killed early Friday morning in a shooting on Detroit's west side, Local 4 has learned.
Police said Officer Terrence Hill Jr. and a 21-year-old woman were in a Ford pickup truck just before 2 a.m. on Manor Street at 7 Mile Road when a gunman approached and demanded money.
The gunman forced Hill out of the truck and shot him in the chest.
The woman was not hurt.
Hill served in Waukegan, Illinois as an artillery instructor.
He graduated from the Detroit School of Arts in 2006.
"The Detroit Police Department Homicide Section has reached out to Crime Stoppers of Michigan to solicit information from the community that will solve this homicide", said Inspector Dwane Blackmon, Detroit Police Department Homicide Section.
James Stein lives in the area and said he woke up to the sound of a gunshot.
"I heard a woman hollering, 'Help, help,'" he said. "I've got kids that walk these streets. I was worried about my kids' safety," he said.
The description of the gunman released by police is: A black male in his 20s, 5 feet 7 inches tall. He was wearing a black knitted cap and black jacket.
He was also wearing a black skull cap with a white line on it.
Hill also has a 21-year-old brother and step-brother who serve in the United States Army.
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $2,500 for information that leads to an arrest.
Anyone with information regarding the crime should call 1-800-SPEAK-UP.

For our final Guest Blog in our 'Meet the Presenter' series, we have a piece by genealogy Jedi Thomas MacEntee. Here's what he has to say:
Welcome to the Fall 2012 Virtual Genealogy Conference at Family Tree University. Once again, I'm pleased to be a part of this unique, on-line event that provides important educational content to the genealogy community.
What's So Great about a Virtual Genealogy Conference?
A virtual genealogy conference is just like a conference you attend in-person but with more flexibility and just as many opportunities to network with other genealogy researchers. At the Fall Virtual Genealogy Conference you'll find pre-recorded webinars (a total of 15!), scheduled chats where you can ask the experts various questions, a message board and even a virtual gift bag filled with genealogy goodies!
The upcoming conference is a great alternative for busy genealogists as well as those that can't travel long distances to attend genealogy conferences.
Why Technology Should Matter To Genealogists
I'm of an age where I remember the introduction of the personal computer and its impact on not just genealogy, but life in general. I don't consider myself a "techie" especially since my academic background is more in the arts, language and literature. However, I've come to realize that if I don't keep on top of technology that I risk being left behind. So even though it can be similar to "homework" in school, I make it a point to stay informed and to try out different apps, websites and other technologies. I may not incorporate them as part of my genealogy research, but knowing is better than not knowing.
That's why I try to ensure that several of my presentations focus on how genealogists can use specific technologies to advance their own research. My goal is to present these new sites and apps in an easy-to-learn atmosphere where you'll feel comfortable asking questions and making your own decisions as to what technology is best for your own situation.
My Presentations and Chats
During the conference I'll be offering three new presentations covering tips for working with search engines, how to get what you want from the FamilySearch website, and easy ways to use a research log for your genealogy. In addition, there will be a live, on-line chat session covering cloud computing and genealogy where you'll get to "pick my brain" on various programs and which program is best for you.
Stay In Touch
For me, the best part of any conference is making new genealogy friends and staying in touch with them. Sometimes we meet up again in person, or we stay in touch on-line. Either way, it always helps to network with other genealogists. Feel free to keep tabs on what I'm up to by following my websites GeneaBloggers and High-Definition Genealogy , or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The conference starts TOMORROW! But there is still time to register--click here and use the code FRIENDSOFTHOMAS at checkout to save $40.
Gena Philibert-Ortega is a genealogist, author and contributor to Family Tree Magazine. Her primary passions are history and food, which she'll blend together like cake batter at this weekend's Fall Virtual Conference. In this guest post, the author of From the Family Kitchen talks in detail about her VC sessions:
Social history and genealogy go hand in hand. As family history researchers we tend to focus solely on the dates and places of our ancestor's life. That's important, but it's one thing to know the dates and places and another to fully understand what was going on during that historical time period. Social history is the story of people's everyday lives. Social history places your ancestors in context. It will even help make your research more interesting to the non-genealogists in your family. The session itself is called "Top 10 Tools For Social History", in which we'll talk about resources you can use for any research project. These will include images, online catalogs and collections.
My second presentation, "Cook up Answers About Immigrant Ancestors", is a chance to see social history in action. What does food have to do with your ancestor? Everything! Food is so integral to everything we do in our families. It's part of celebrations, holidays and even somber events. Food and food history resources can help us learn far more about our ancestors. I can't wait to tell you about all the available resources, such as community cookbooks.
Please join me at the Virtual Conference. What a great way to spend a weekend. Talking genealogy from the comfort of your own home!

Lisa Louise Cooke is both an author and podcaster extraordinaire. She produces the Genealogy Gems podcast, as well as the official podcast of Family Tree Magazine. In this guest post, she writes an open letter to those considering coming to her sessions for Family Tree University's Fall Virtual Conference:
In the real estate world they say it's all about Location, Location, Location! And the same holds true in the Genealogy world. Location is a key element in understanding the context of our ancestor's lives and obtaining coveted genealogical documents. What better way to zero in on a location than with maps? My class Best Websites for Finding Historical Maps delivers the goods in a big way!
If you have ever listened to my show The Genealogy Gems Podcast at http://www.genealogygems.com then you know that maps, and working with them in programs like Google Earth, is one of my specialties. Historical maps offer an exciting way to do your own genealogical time travel. Please join me in a map-packed half hour that will provide you the best resources for obtaining FREE downloadable historical maps that will take you back to the time, and place, of your ancestors. See you in class!
NOTE:Act quickly—the conference starts this Friday, Sept. 14! Register now for the Fall Virtual Conference and save $40 with coupon code FRIENDSOFLISACOOKE.

I should be able to get a copy of Windows through my school. Possibly free maybe for a discount. Regardless my friends school gives its students a free copy of Windows 7 when they request it so I think I'm good.
I'm going to grab a couple fans for the case as well. I want this baby to be cold in the Summer. Any suggestion on those? I got all the peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers) already but will upgrade them later on. Anything that I may want or may be missing. I don't want to start building this thing only to realize that I don't have the X that plug into the Y.

in regards to fans, you will be ok to start off with as the 300 has a couple fitted. you may want to add one in future to to front of the case to draw air in, and i believe it may be a 140mm one, but dont quote me on that.
the other addition you may want to make, and which will allow you to overclock safely in the future is an aftermarket Processor Cooler.
for something like you are building, I would say something like the Thermaltake Frio.
This is also something you can add down the line, as if you buy the retail-boxed processor it will come with a stock intel heat sink and fan, which although adequate, doesnt give great cooling.

Unlike other stones that use the mud generated from the stone to advantage, the Shaptons - pro and glass - primarily contain metal swarf which yields a duller finish left on the stone. Also the smallest amount of your quarter micron spray on the stones will remove or eliminate metal swarf buildup or glazing. It won't replace your final finish with just the quarter micron spray on nanocloth. ZDP-189 has lots of Chromium carbides (20%) and with a pinch of CBN it will increase the speed of your Shapton stones considerably, giving you a denser stone slurry and a more aggressive cutting action and improved finish. ZDP-189 will take an exceptional edge so you can even continue to increase the sharpness of your edge past quarter micron.
In addition to keeping the metal swarf content down, spend a bit more time on each stone to more completely remove the scratch pattern from the previous stone. At times you will get an excellent edge but still need to go a bit further to get all the scratches out. They show up later and require going back to lower grits to remove them.
If you are trying to figure out which stones are leaving the scratches, try 'stroking' the knife in alternative directions with each stone so you can determine what stone scratches they are by scratch direction.

>Off the Beaten Path>The Gym is a Freak Show
Demon of Bad Decisions
I can wander around this big, beautiful city of mine, which happens to be loaded with lunatics, and not see such a mind boggling assortment of strange behavior as I see each and every time I visit the gym. Today I decided I wanted to lift, and run in less than 17 layers of clothes, so the gym it is.
While doing post-run stretching in the large group fitness room I witnessed a fully make-up laden woman doing a tap routine while talking to herself, a man with his arms outstretched spinning around like a helicopter, a man practicing martial arts, which he obviously picked up from bad 70's Kung-fu movies, a woman jumping rope who would periodically get down on the floor and slither all around with the rope, and just when I thought things couldn't get weirder, in walks a midget bodybuilder in a wrestling outfit.
Where do these people come from? Im beginning to think that protein recovery drinks can cause hallucinations.
I want to do it because I want to do it. -Amelia Earhart
wow, that is just too funny. now I have some very strange mental pictures in my head.
Very Twin Peaks-y.
I was the guy doing spinning around like a helicopter. (BTW It's called vector soul alignment). That midget was weird right?
Proboscis Colossus
Lol, that was my thought!
My other thought is, I have a boring gym.
"God guides us on our journey, but careful with those feet." - David Lee Roth, of all people
Now they're all talking about the weird chick in the gym who was stretching and staring at them.
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject. - S.J.
I'm speechless on this one.... But I have alot of crazy images in my head now! :-)
The Plan '15 → /// "Run Hard, Live Easy." ∞
Um. I was doing a weird glute exercise that probably looks pornographic. I usually save it for home. If you can't beat them, join them.
I know I'm not the only one who has weirdos at their gym. Ennay and I both have 115 yr old Asian women in the locker room that blow dry their hoo-ha's with the hand dryer.
The thing that I find most strange is the people who come to the treadmill - walk for a few minutes (drinking copiously from their water bottle during that time) and then stop and leave. Why bother coming to the gym for that?
Which is why I have a home gym.

This is me!!

This is me!!
you are a 115 year old Asian woman?
I used to have the midget bodybuilder at my gym too. He had the handlebar mustache like the cartoons of the strong man at the circus. He liked me. Liked me liked me.
My gym is very weird. We didnt get any surge of membership after New Year, but today there were at least 8 people I had never ever seen before (out of maybe 14 people in the gym). Usually by 6 am, 6:30 at the latest I can get a treadmill, today they were lining up. Is the Super Bowl the new time for resolutions?
I have become Death, the destroyer of electronic gadgets
"When I got too tired to run anymore I just pretended I wasnt tired and kept running anyway" - dd, age 7
Was talking last week to the owner of the gym I use. There are individual shower/changing rooms, and he and his partner had to deal with some idiot who decided to use hair dye in one of the showers. They managed to track it out of the shower and onto the floor and even get it on the walls.
They also used/ruined about a dozen gym towels to clean up/spread the mess.
Ended up chatting with the owner for a while, listening to more stupid/weird things members have done. Running a small business like this is not for the faint of heart.
I'm missing the fun; everybody I see at the gym acts pretty normal. It will be nice when the new year's resolutioners and college kids trying to get "in shape" for spring break disappear.
and this is why RA is part of my routine, even though I'm not a runner anymore. (almost choked on my lunch)
Get off my porch
Doc, my tooth hurts
Any time I go to the gym I'm always reminded of how many people in the world are weird and gross. It does give you something to talk about though.

Fish Camp is coming up and I have been given the honor of cooking dinner for 30+ guys. I wanted to rent a pull behind smoker to cook ribs but the only place I can find that has one charges $100 a day to use it. So I think I am going to cook the ribs at home and warm them up there to eat. My question is this: Can you freeze cooked ribs, thaw and reheat them and still have them taste good? If anyone knows where I can rent a trailor smoker around the Tulsa, OK or Mountain Home, AR area that would also help. Thanks

RFID: Radio frequency identification A method of identifying unique items using radio waves. Typically, a reader communicates with a tag, which holds digital information in a microchip. But there are chipless forms of RFID tags that use material to reflect back a portion of the radio waves beamed at them.
Form Authoring
XFA has the capability to handle barcodes since beginning. In Adobe LiveCycle ES1.0, we introduced the support for elementary RFIDs also. It is handle like any other barcode and named it rfid. The form author can put an rfid object on the label while designing label using Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
RFID set up in Adobe LiveCycle Output
To enable the rfid capability in Adobe LiveCycle Output service, first, the user needs to do rfid set-up based on the target rfid printer. The user has to configure the RFID parameters in the XDC file using Adobe LiveCycle XDC Editor, based on his rfid printer configuration before printing his first rfid label.
There are four device options in the XDC that one needs to configure.
It controls the number of times the printer attempts to write to a particular block of a single RFID tag. The accepted values for this option is between 0 to 10.
If the user doesn't specify in its XDC, the printer will take the default value '0'.
The number of labels that will be attempted in case of encode/write failure. This number is different from the rfidBlockRetries. The accepted values for this option is between 0 to 10.
If the user doesn't specify in its XDC, the printer will take the default value '3'.
It controls the encoding type of the data in the RFID label. The RFID readers should have same tag type as the rfid printer has. The accepted values for this option varies printer to printer. Consult your printer manual for this. Generally this option takes values between 0 to 5.
|tag type
|EPC Class 0
|EPC Class 0 Plus
|EPC Class 1 64-bit
|EPC Class 1 96-bit
These tag types also has some frequency standards. In some countries, some of the frequencies are restricted and in that case the rfid printer might not support those corresponding tag types. In that case the printer will use the default tag type. There are number of other EPC and ISO standards.
This is the distance of the microchip on the label from the top. The user needs to pass this value in dots. The accepted values are between 0 to length of the label.
If the microchip is located at the beginning of the label, the user needs to simply set this option to 0.
This is the setting which will be specified based on the fact whether the data used is HEX or ASCII.
Here you go. Once the above set-up is taken care of, you can generate the labels using the generatePrintedOutput API of AdobeOutputService. You can upload the edited XDC file in the Adobe LiveCycle Repository and pass its uri as XDC URI in the API.
A quick disclaimer here that RFID capability is supported only for Zebra labels (zpl) and not in PS/PCL or pdf documents generated by Adobe LiveCycle Output.

Five killed in Mosul attacks
Four Iraqi policemen died in a car bombing in the centre of the northern city of Mosul on Thursday, a police official said. According to AFP, Major Alaa Monaf al-Jubouri said the attack killed four policemen and injured three other people, including a civilian.
Also in Mosul, three unidentified gunmen killed a local Sunni official on Thursday, said a second police officia. Abdul-Kareem Khalaf al-Sharabi, deputy chief of the National Dialogue Front in Mosul, was shot dead near his house in western Mosul, he said. On Wednesday, at least five people -- three policemen, a soldier and a Sunni Arab party official -- were killed in a string of attacks in Mosul.
Elsewhere, the U.S. military said an American soldier has died of non-combat injuries in Iraq. The soldier was found unresponsive by fellow troops in Baghdad on Feb. 8 and attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

New York, N.Y. – The University of Pennsylvania volleyball team fell victim to the squad with home court advantage. Columbia defeated Penn, 3-2 (25-22, 11-25, 25-20, 23-25, 7-15), at tonight's Go Pink Breast Cancer Awareness match.
In the first set, Penn (6-7 overall, 0-2 Ivy) went up 6-2 and almost lost the lead as the Lions (3-8 overall, 1-1 Ivy) were able to close the gap to tie it at six. The Red and Blue pushed ahead and were able to keep Columbia at bay long enough to win, 25-22. The Quakers started off on the right foot in the first set, hitting a .342 attack percentage and only committing two errors.
However, the second set was a stark contrast. With only five kills and 11 errors, Penn finished the set with a -.182 percentage. This allowed the Lions to strike as they set the tone early with a score of 8-2. The Quakers tacked on five points, but Columbia powered ahead and shut down the Red and Blue, 25-11.
Even at one a piece, Penn took the lead in set three, 3-2, and would stay in control the rest of the set, winning 25-20. The Quakers were up 2-1 and needed one final set win for the match victory.
The Red and Blue gained the lead, 6-3, and battled to take the match away from the home team, who was trying to stay alive. The Lions gained momentum halfway through the match with a nine point run, capturing the lead, 14-11. Columbia refused to give up and prevailed 25-23.
The home team kept the momentum going to seal the deal in the fifth set. The Quakers began with a 6-2 disadvantage and were unsuccessful in keeping up with Columbia, falling 15-7.
Senior captain Dani Shepherd anchored the defense with 27 digs, and sophomore Alexis Genske had 15. Offensively, senior captain Kristen Etterbeek led with 10 kills, followed by sophomore Alex Caldwell (9).
The Red and Blue will remain in New York to take on the Big Red tomorrow at 5 p.m.

Mea culpa.
Chuck Cherry (and many other alert readers) have called my attention to an error in the Irish Whiskey Glaze recipe on age 116 in Barbecue Bible Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades.
Soy sauce appears in the ingredient list twice--first 1/4 cup, then 3 tablespoons.
The second soy sauce should have been 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce.
Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks to all who have brought this to my attention.
Happy griling!

Haren finds trouble after error in loss to Marlins
MIAMI -- Dan Haren and Ryan Zimmerman stood in front of their lockers Tuesday night after an 8-2 loss to the Marlins, fielding questions but still searching for answers.
After an initially strong outing went off the rails in the fourth and fifth innings, Haren was left trying to figure out what went wrong for him, why he's given up 26 hits in 13 1/3 innings, and how he can get back to being the kind of dominant pitcher he was as recently as 2011.
On the other side of the clubhouse, Zimmerman described his frustration over a critical fourth-inning throwing error, his fourth in five games, and wondered why those errant throws are still happening when he feels no pain or soreness in his surgically repaired right shoulder.
"Nobody's more frustrated than me," Zimmerman said. "Danny's rolling along and throwing the ball well, and I've got to get the ball and throw it. I feel like I throw it fine, so it's frustrating for me."
It's even more baffling when Zimmerman botches a throw when he makes several outstanding plays per game at third base. He's turned to his teammates for answers, asking Adam LaRoche and Ian Desmond in the dugout what they're seeing in his throws and why they're not on target.
"In a sense, it's a confidence thing," Desmond said. "He's never come to me before about how to hit a homer, or how to drive in a runner from second, or how to make a diving play. So I would imagine his confidence is a little down if he's coming to me."
The play in question came in the fourth inning, when Zimmerman moved to his left, scooped up a routine grounder off the bat of Placido Polanco and fired wide to the home-plate side of first base for what would've been the second out of the inning.
The throw pulled LaRoche off the bag, allowing Polanco to reach safely. Polanco came around to break a scoreless tie after Haren gave up back-to-back singles, the right-hander's first sign of weakness after three efficient innings to open the game.
Haren had cruised through the first three frames, allowing only one hit as he retired nine of the first 10 Marlins hitters. Of the 10 batters he faced following Zimmerman's error, however, seven got on base. One of them, Miami shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, crushed an 85-mph splitter over the Clevelander bar in left field for a three-run homer, his first of the year and the Marlins' first at home this season.
Haren didn't fare much better in the fifth inning, scattering singles to three of the first four hitters he faced to load the bases before issuing his first walk of the season to Greg Dobbs, scoring pitcher Alex Sanabia and bringing an end to his night.
"I've got to start getting guys out. It's not this hard. I've done it for 10, 11 years," Haren said. "But, you know, I feel good enough to get guys out. I just made a few mistakes. I'm just giving up way too many hits and letting way too many runners on base.
"I'm searching right now. I'm searching for answers. I'm trying in between starts, and I've got to get better. I do. I feel worse about it than anybody."
After breezing into the fourth inning on just 40 pitches, Haren had to throw 53 to get through his final 1 1/3 innings. And the offensively challenged Marlins, who had scored only 23 runs over the season's first 13 games, built up a lead the Nationals couldn't overcome.
"We'd been talking about continuing to be positive and keep grinding it out. We did that tonight," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "It's nice to beat those guys. They've kind of had their way with us so far this year. It's nice to put a big number on them."
It was not nearly as nice, of course, for the two veterans in the other clubhouse, one of them trying to recapture his Gold Glove arm, the other attempting to re-learn how to pitch at this stage of his career. The most disappointing thing for both Zimmerman and Haren, it seemed, was that they couldn't pick each other up, that they couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong and that they couldn't give a definitive answer.
"That's part of baseball. They pick me up; I pick them up," Haren said. "I'm sure that he probably feels bad about the home run, that the guys came around to score, but I mean, I've got to be able to pick him up."
"I'm doing everything I can to make those plays and help this team," added Zimmerman. "Unfortunately right now, I've made a few errors, but I'll go back out there tomorrow and hope every ball's hit my way and I'll go right back at it."

Are Adjustable Leg Loops Useful?
Are adjustable leg loops actually useful? I rock climb, and ice climb some, and need a new harness. I'd rather have a less expensive and lighter harness with non-adjustable leg loops, but I've heard that you need adjustable loops to accommodate winter pants. Really?
If you are going to star on Biggest Loser and will melt 50 buttery pounds off your thighs over a season, or add 100 pounds, I recommend adjustable leg loops. Otherwise, probably not. Most harnesses with fixed leg loops use a Y-loop design that will expand each loop several inches, enough to fit over both summer and typical winter garb. Unless you are changing from a loincloth to a Michelin Man suit, I can't imagine a wardrobe switch that wouldn't work with normal leg loops.
Adjustable leg loops are desirable in certain situations, though these are likely rare for you. For instance, if you are changing pants while on a climb, you can unthread adjustable leg loops, and don or doff attire while remaining tied in to the waist belt. Note that this only works if you can completely unthread the leg loops, some leg loops don't give you this option. Also, if you are wearing big boots with crampons, you can let out the leg loops and put your harness on without taking your boots or crampons off. In simpler terms, adjustable leg loops are nice for multi-pitch alpine and mountaineering climbs. For your purposes, though, they are the dog that doesn't bark. Think about that. Next!

Here is a tutorial text
HTML5 removes the need for JavaScript solutions. If a particular input should be "selected," or focused, by default, we can now utilize the autofocus attribute.
<input type="text" name="someInput" placeholder="Douglas Quaid" required autofocus>
this is good. However can I use autofocus in multiple fields at the same time ?
That would make no sense at all. Only one item can have focus at a time. So either choose which item you want focus to fall on when the page loads, or don't use the feature and let the user decide what to focus on.
Thanks. this helped.
Out of interest, I was wondering what browsers would do if you had autofocus on more than one input. Firefox chose the first one and ignored the second. Chrome ignored the first one and put focus on the second (more what I expected).
Firefox is correct. (See step 7 in http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#attr-fe-autofocus )
Ha ha, if you hadn't told me that's what step 7 meant, I'd never have guessed. :lol:

Patching Your Computers
Last Updated: Mon, 25 Jan 2016 > Related Articles
Learn how and why to patch your computers.
Software is always being updated, so patching your computer on a regular basis has become standard practice for IT managers. New patches fix flaws, performance or security holes in software. It is important to check your software manufacturer's web site every week for new updates.
Note: Do not forget to check for firmware updates that apply to your hardware firewalls, routers, etc.
There are a couple of things to remember when patching your software or hardware:
- Setup a test lab.
Create a lab that is separate from your production network. This could be as few as 2 machines or as many as 10. Test the new patches on these computers. This method will avoid downtime for your production machines if there is a conflict with other software on the computer.
- Check your software vendor's website for any conflicts that have been discovered during testing.
When a patch is released by an operating system maker, they usually have tested the new 'fix' with many software vendors in advance. Any conflicts that were discovered should be posted on their web site.
- All operating systems and software have flaws.
The myth is that only Windows has security flaws. This is untrue. All software has the potential to have security flaws and many patches have been released for the Apple OS, Red Hat OS, etc. If you run an operating system other than Windows, you should check at regular intervals for new patches or fixes.
- Create a central distribution for patches.
Using a centralized distribution center for new patches can make patching your network easier then physically updating each machine.
- Patch at night. You do not want to disrupt the daily work with downtime due to a new patch. Apply new ones at night when everyone has gone home unless waiting until after-hours possesses a huge risk to your network.
- Formulate a back out plan.
Make sure all critical files have been backed up before you proceed with new updates and have a plan to restore or 'roll-back' your computers to a working state just in case something goes wrong.

Sure, R.A. Dickey could be traded any second. Sure, the Mets are three outfielders short of an outfield.
But for today, just enjoy this.
The Mets are in no position to contend in 2013 right now. Their ability to add around Wright on a team that won 74 games last year is minimal. They got Wright to accept a deal paying him $8 million in 2013, or a paycut of 50 percent over 2012. That wasn't enough new money to get the Mets an outfield yet, but it's early. What it does suggest is that the Mets need to cut every corner just to add to this roster at all, which we already knew.
Still, whatever else happened, David Wright didn't have to say yes to the Mets. They would have been forced to trade him (or if Jeff Wilpon had his way, apparently let him play out his option and leave for nothing).
They'd have been in the same, unfortunate position. And you wouldn't get the chance to watch David Wright play every day until 2020 in a Mets uniform.
So on a day like today, enjoy the win. All Mets victories are provisional right now. Fail to enjoy what good fortune comes the team's way as it remains under ownership's huge financial strain, and you'll go crazy.
By the way, a note on coverage: I am aggressively updating/retweeting news on the @Lohudmets Twitter account. So follow that for all manner of rumors. But I'm trying to stick to the actual news here on the blog, and so far, Wright is the only done deal.

The Mountains to Sea Trail is an awe-inspiring 22-mile bike ride that winds along natural habitat from Irvine Regional Park to Newport Dunes.
It's well paved, close to home and moderately challenging, with only one tough climb.
So what possibly can go wrong when my husband, daughter and two teen-aged sons set out on a recent Sunday afternoon to exercise, become one with nature and share the fun with our gentle readers?
Nothing. For the first three miles.
Then I notice our group of five has turned to four. My husband, John, has gone missing some time since we crossed the train tracks. As we wait for him to reappear for five, then seven, then 10 minutes, my middle child suggests that maybe he got hit by a train. My oldest son, more out of annoyance than concern, backtracks to see if he can find him. He soon returns, with no dad in tow.
My wise-beyond-her-11-years daughter suggests we call my husband's cellphone. Mystery solved. He was hunched on the ground fixing a flat — my myopic son's explanation of why he hadn't seen him.
When we reach my husband, he already has replaced his inner tube. But his mini pump from the early '90s isn't working. He says we should carry on without him.
That's when the family snaps into action. Carrying my husband's rear wheel, my two boys and I veer off course to get help. I lecture my annoyed eldest son about flexibility and adventure. We arrive at Just Tires on Edinger Road and employee Justin Doan kindly pumps the tire. We are soon happily on our way.
"The bad news," says my husband, "is we just used the only spare tube I packed. If we have another flat, we're doomed."
As if on cue, my middle, 13-year-old son says with a smile, "Now I have a flat." Hahaha. That's funny, Jacob. But then I see his flat-as-a-pancake knobby tire hanging off the rim with a rusty nail embedded.
"Go on without us. We'll figure it out," my husband suggests again. Since I am getting paid for this day, I feel obligated to continue sans husband and son.
So now it's me, one daughter and one son.
Off we go into the beauty of nature.
Then right along the San Diego Creek Trail, which is part of the Mountains to Sea trail, my oldest son, Dylan, is zigzagging like a drunken sailor, oblivious to other bikers. I yell for him to stay to the right but he "doesn't hear." A fast-moving, muscular rider, whom he nearly cuts off, admonishes him — the second warning in five minutes.
That's when my son decides he's finished and asks if we can turn around at Boomers. I say in my usual annoyed sarcasm, "You can do what you want, but I'm continuing."
After a few minutes, and to my dismay, I realize my son did do what he wanted and he's no longer riding with us.
So now it's my daughter and me, the lone survivors on what was to have been a bonding family trip.
It is fun and much easier without a tribe. We talk about school, we talk about snorkeling and we talk about the food reward at the end of our ride.
The sun now hangs low and we cast long shadows on the pavement as we hustle to the Marketplace at Newport Dunes. The grocery store closes at 7 p.m. It's 6:30. We pump ourselves with delicious sugary snacks like M&M's and trail mix, and I hydrate myself with caffeine for the ride home, a race against darkness. We follow the same path in reverse. Finally, at 9p.m., we pass the railroad tracks where my husband went missing six hours earlier. (We were smart to continue without Jacob and him — because 10 minutes after we parted, they had another blowout and a $20 hit for a taxi ride home.)
My daughter stops and looks back as a train whizzes by. "It's cool how the passengers are lit up inside," she says.
I hope some of them are off on their own adventures.
