I joined Deviant Art 6 years ago to view and comment on a friends art pieces.
Who knew years later i would end up using it to post art myself.
I started doodling in middle school. (I still have a habit of calling them doodles).
It started with doodles on the sides of work handouts. and slowly graduated to entire pages in my notebook.
i think ive come a long way since middle school. but i still have lots of improving to do.
im very open to everyones thoughts and suggestions when it comes to my art.
any feedback is great for me.
What I like most about my art, is the fact that unless i use pencil(which is rare) i can never erase. Whatever comes out, comes out. Without being able to turn back. There are no mistakes, just additions to the piece.
Ive been told that my drawings are what my thoughts look like, so you can tell im one wild thinker.
thanks for taking a look.
hope you enjoy. =]
***My favorite part of sharing my art has always been hearing and seeing what others see in my drawings. Its really the best part of sharing my crazy little concoctions. So please, dont be shy! Tell me what you see! I wont be upset or disappointed if we dont see the same things. Thats what I love most! So dont be shy!***
Current Residence: Middle of Nowhere.
Favourite genre of music: Everything.
Favourite style of art: Abstract.
Operating System: My hand.lol.
MP3 player of choice: I miss my Zune. But now i just use my phonee.
Shell of choice: Pasta shell. =]
Personal Quote: Our hearts are on the left because theyre not always right.

1998 Volvo S90 Reset Service Light
From WikituneUp - The Free Service Manual
You can reset the service light on your '98 Volvo S90 right from your home garage, saving yourself time and money. The Volvo comes equipped with an On-Board Diagnostics computer that receives trouble codes from sensors positioned throughout the vehicle. When it receives a trouble code pertaining to when the vehicle needs to be taken to a mechanic for routine servicing, it will illuminate the Service Engine Soon light on the instrument panel. When you see this light, have the vehicle serviced, then reset the light. Don't reset the light until the servicing is complete or else the light will turn back on again.
| This process does not require tools.
If you feel any tools are required, feel free to update this article.
Reset Service Light[edit]
- Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "I" position, taking care not to start the engine.
- Find the trip odometer button near the speedometer. Press and hold it while at the same time turning the ignition key to position "II."
- Watch as the service light flashes. When it hits the 4th flash, turn the key back to the "I" position, while still depressing the trip odometer button.
- Release the button and start the engine. The Service Engine Light should now be turned off. The computer has been reset.
Tips & Warnings[edit]
- You may have to repeat the above procedure more than one time to get the light to reset.

The Art of Video Games - Hudson River Museum
Through May 18, 2014 - Yonkers
One of the first major exhibitions to explore the 40-year evolution of video games as an artistic medium, "The Art of Video Games" focuses on the medium's striking graphics, creative storytelling, and player interactivity.
Organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the exhibition travels to the Hudson River Museum for its only appearance in the New York Metro area, from Feb. 15-May 18.
"The Art of Video Games" features the most influential artists and designers across five eras of game development, from early pioneers to the contemporary artists, who created some of the best games for 20 gaming systems that range from the Atari VCS to PlayStation 3.
Video games - a compelling and influential form of narrative art - use player participation to tell stories and engage audiences in the same way as film, animation, and performance. The exhibition features 80 video games selected with the help of the public to demonstrate the evolution of the medium. The games are presented through still images, video footage, and video interviews with developers and artists, historic game consoles, and large prints of in-game screen shots.
Five featured games are available for visitors to play (Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers, The Secret of Monkey Island, Myst, and Flower), which show how players interact with the virtual worlds, highlighting the innovative techniques that set the standard for many subsequent games.
"Video games are a prevalent and increasingly expressive medium within modern society," said Chris Melissinos, former chief gaming officer for Sun Microsystems, founder of Past Pixels, and guest curator of the exhibition. "In the 40 years since the introduction of the first home video game, the field has attracted exceptional artistic talent. Video games, which include classic components of art, offer designers a previously unprecedented method of communicating with and engaging audiences by including a new element, the player, who completes the vivid, experiential art form by personally interacting with the game elements."
Visitors to the exhibition are greeted by excerpts from selected games projected 12 feet high, accompanied by a chipmusic soundtrack by 8 Bit Weapon and ComputeHer, including "The Art of Video Games Anthem," recorded by 8 Bit Weapon specifically for the exhibition. An interior gallery includes a series of short videos showing the range of emotional responses players have while interacting with games.
The Smithsonian invited the public to help select the video games in the exhibition. A pool of 240 games was selected by Melissinos and an advisory group consisting of game developers, designers, industry pioneers, and journalists. More than 3.7 million votes were cast by 119,000 people in 175 countries.
"The Art of Video Games" is organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum with generous support from the Entertainment Software Association Foundation; Sheila Duignan and Mike Wilkins; Shelby and Frederick Gans; Mark Lamia; Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk; Rose Family Foundation; Betty and Lloyd Schermer; and Neil Young. Promotional support is provided by the Entertainment Consumers Association. The C.F. Foundation in Atlanta supports the museum's traveling exhibition program, "Treasures to Go."

Grasshopper Grove - Hudson Highlands Nature Museum Outdoor Discovery Center
Through November 16, 2014 - Cornwall
Grasshopper Grove is a natural play area for young children that encourages them to explore the outdoor world, get their hands dirty, and have fun. Children can hop from stump to stump, dance, sing and perform in the Adirondack lean-to, lie down on top of a hill and watch the clouds make pictures in the sky, read a story with Mom or Dad in the rustic gazebo, water and weed a garden, and construct roads in the sand and dirt pile. These simple activities strengthen eye-hand coordination and muscle development while fostering creativity, critical thinking, appropriate risk-taking, problem solving, and cooperation, which are all critical to healthy childhood development.
Grasshopper Grove follows a design developed in collaboration with Museum staff, board, parents and preschool students by one of the world's leaders in the field, Adam Bienenstock of Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds. Beginning with a half-acre of field surrounded by a rough stone wall and mature shag bark hickory trees, the area was graded to incorporate a low hill surrounded by a path, a dry stream bed and a higher hill offering a view of nearby fields and ponds.
Taking inspiration from the 'wild' areas of the Outdoor Discovery Center, where the Museum's Young Naturalist Preschoolers love to play, elements were added to the area that include a fallen oak tree for climbing, large boulders, a wooden gazebo and Adirondack lean-to and an area of 'loose parts' for building. A series of cedar troughs catch water flowing from an old fashioned hand pump into the dry stream bed.

A cw 1.4-W TEM00 single-frequency output, to our knowledge the highest ever reported, was obtained in a Ti:sapphire ring laser pumped by a diode-pumped, intracavity-doubled Nd:YAG laser, which provides 6.3 W of cw maximum TEM00 green output. The electrical–optical conversion efficiency of the all-solid-state Ti:sapphire laser is 1.1%. A range of wavelength tuning of 150 nm with a narrow linewidth of <5 MHz is successfully demonstrated. The Ti:sapphire laser shows excellent low-noise characteristics, <−130 dB/Hz.

IPSWICH manager Mick McCarthy will decide the immediate future of Swiss Under-21 international defender Frederic Veseli following the end of his two-month loan deal at Bury.
The former Manchester United trainee has become an integral part of the Shakers defence, helping them to five clean sheets in his seven matches at the club.
Bury boss David Flitcroft is eager to extend Veseli's stay for a third month, in time for Tuesday's trip to Mansfield Town, but admits the decision rests with McCarthy.
"If I can take him for another month I think it will help Freddie and it will certainly help us," said Flitcroft.
"Freddie wants to do it, there's no doubt about that. We will speak with Ipswich and Mick and try to get it nailed on for Tuesday."
It has not all been plain sailing for the 21-year-old defender, with Bury conceding four goals at Chesterfield in only his second match at the club.
But they have since gone five games unbeaten and Veseli has had a major part to play in that improvement.
"Over the last month he has got better and better, there is no doubt about that," added Flitcroft.
"The first two or three games he was a fish out of water but now the lads love having him in the squad and he loves being part of this.
"He knows he can improve under our guidance, he's a real learner."

I have no desire at the present time to do anything other than writing for my own amusement and have been creating this blog to that end. There are likely more unpublish drafts than published stories, so be aware that I may be blogging without publishing and that suddenly huge stories will appear that you had no idea were coming. Please feel free to read or skip stories as you like. I do ask that if you use my stories for anything or email them to other people that you ask my permission first as I do not give up ownership of what I write just because it is placed on the internet.

Let's Get Social!
Ask our members for help or assist others.
You are all welcome at Acer Community!
What can I do if my Android tablet won't boot or only boots to the Android logo?
If your Android tablet will not boot or only displays the Android logo, you can try the steps below.
1. Try resetting your device using one of the links below.
2. Contact your local Acer service center to inquire about setting your tablet up for repair.
The above options are a joke. You offfer articles on how to hard reset other tablets, but not the Iconia A100. My tablet is stuck on the ACER bootup screen. Occasionally I am able to get into the Android System Recovery <3e> Android System Recovery Utility. However, when I select an option, such as Reboot system now, nothing happens, no matter what I push. How can I get my tablet to restore back to original factory settings, and I'm not talking about pressing the darn Reset button, because that doesn't do a darn thing. Totally frustrated and angry, paid $400 for a paperweight if I can't get it going again.
I have 4 Acer laptops, a couple of monitors, and an Iconia A500 tablet. One of the laptops had an issue early in its life and Acer replaced it for free. (I might have had to pay shipping.) However, based on my experience with the tablet, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ACER PRODUCT AGAIN.
I must amend my post. I submitted a support request and was told that my device was out of warranty, but that Acer would do a "one time" free repair, assuming it was not damaged, yada, yada. We'll see. I'll update this as the process goes along.
@Toinky, can you please share the contact info you used to set up your support request? It seems people are being told different stories depending on who/where they call. Most are told to send their tablets in for service, and quoted in the neighborhood of $199 for the repair. It looks (hopefully) like Acer is becoming aware that the issue of dead tablets is very wide-spread, which points to a likely design flaw. Things like this often lead to class-action suits, and maybe the service center you contacted is trying to do the right thing...
Thanx for the help... took a few tries but got it unlocked! The tablet belongs to my granddaughter and her 5 year old sister locked it up by trying the wrong pattern too many times! Now I am a HERO!!! LOL

I have to come out and state that I don't agree with judging Michael Brown based on a few pictures. We have all taken pictures that can make us look like "thugs." I think we should wait for some concrete facts to come out before forming an opinion. Just because he put up a middle finger in a picture, doesn't justify shooting him dead. In this picture below, I am with some of my homeboys from the Bronx.
[twitter-follow username="arodomus"]Yet here I am, a contributor to the site, and far from a criminal. Though SOME of my past pictures could be used to paint a bad picture of me, I'm not a bad guy. I'm not taking sides on this one, either way, but I do have to call out our side for vilifying this young man based off of some pictures. "Gangsta" pictures don't justify his death. Following you'll see a picture where I'm flipping the bird. I could post more, but you get the point. As always ladies and gentleman, you can count on me to keep it real with you. We all take silly pictures, we all flip the bird, but that doesn't justify a shooting.

Memorable Manitobans: George Sexsmith (1845-1912)
Farmer, municipal official.
Born in Tyendinaga Township, Hastings County, Ontario on 30 March 1845, a son of Irish immigrants George Sexsmith and Mary Smily, he was educated in local public schools. He came to Manitoba as part of the Wolseley Expedition but the sojourn was cut short by a broken leg. In June 1872, he returned to Manitoba, becoming one of the first farmers on the Boyne River when he took up a homestead near the present site of Carman.
In 1875, he married Flora Field (1859-?), a daughter of Henry Field, one of the early settlers of Manitoba. They had sixteen children: Russell Sexsmith, Jane Sexsmith, Mary Ellen Sexsmith (b 1878), Sarah Jane Sexsmith (b 1879), Maggie Sexsmith (b 1881), George Russell Sexsmith (b 1883), Thomas A. Sexsmith (b 1885), Laurie Sexsmith (b 1887), William Sexsmith (b 1888), John Alexander Sexsmith (b 1891), Fred Havelock Sexsmith (b 1892), Colin H. Sexsmith (b 1895), Flora Sexsmith (b 1896), Dorothy Sexsmith (b 1898), Bert Sexsmith (b 1900), and Nelson Sexsmith (b 1900). The family home in Carman is a municipal historic site.
Sexsmith was a councillor for the Rural Municipality of Dufferin from its organization in 1894. He served as its Reeve from 1890 to 1894, and from 1900 to around 1906. He was also a founding member of the local school board. He was a member of the Masons, Loyal Orange Lodge, Canadian Order of Foresters, and the Anglican church.
He died at Carman on 2 April 1912.

Early on S/T II: The Cosmic Birth And Journey Of Shinju TNT, Akron/Family can't seem to help getting a bit too lost in the trivial wonders of life, including tropical vacations ("Island"), giving change to the homeless ("So It Goes"), and assorted vowel sounds ("A Aaa O A Way"). But side trips give way to purposeful escape on the tightly wiggling beats of "Another Sky," splattered with stamping percussion and fidgety yet incisive guitar hooks. "Fuji I (Global Dub)," a savagely sweet tune about climbing a volcano, threatens to get even better until it ends with the sound of either said volcano or a microphone falling into an aquarium. But hey, what's a great journey without a few corny off-ramp attractions?
As always, Akron/Family is fascinated with many genres and never entirely loyal to any. "Cast A Net" does proud by the band's other close gather-rounds of vocal harmony and acoustic guitar. Conversely, "Say What You Want To" shows off A/F's skill at detonating the folky stuff right out from under you, while not only keeping the song intact, but expanding its structure. Some of the songwriting themes go flat trying to maintain their likeable simplicity ("Light Emerges," "Silly Bears"), but the delays and interruptions are still in the minority. It would only be cause for alarm if Akron/Family stopped occasionally bewildering its most understanding fans.

A wrist watch is a device that displays time quickly and conveniently to you, and has been a device that has gone through many iterations through out history. In the past, analog watches emphasize fashion, mechanical movement, waterproofing, and rugged durability. More expensive analog watches focus on longer battery-life, and quality of material. On the other hand, digital watches appeal to sporty individuals who want more functionality at the gym. Many of these digital watches focus on sport features not limited to timer, and stop watch capabilities. Gradually, a watch revolution emerged. It began with rumors spreading throughout the internet that Apple, Inc. was interested in expanding the digital watch industry to appeal to growing tech junkies. Tim Cook had trouble keeping secrets, and Sony, Samsung, and Motorola caught onto these trends. They invented a new category of watches, smart watches before Apple. However, these smart watches typically last a day before needing to recharge, which is quite inconvenient. However, the great news is, the Pebble Smartwatch is different. The Pebble is a smart watch that was built by people who were actually smart. Without a LCD color display, this smart watch provides you with the smartphone integration you love without the need to charge your watch daily. But just how good is it? Continue to read our Pebble review.
Pebble review: Exterior features
Looks and feel
Our first impression of the Pebble is generally positive. The exterior of the Pebble (301BL) is made of a poly-carbonate material. It feels solid, and light. The screen features a 144×168 px resolution E-paper screen technology. Reminds us of an old school Tamagotchi device. Pebble stated that the screen is scratch resistant; however, the community forum at selfscreens.com had contrary experiences, and many recommend purchasing a pebble screen protector such as the Skinomi Techskin Screen Protector to protect their investment. Unlike conventional e-ink readers technology, the screen of the Pebble does not need to refresh every time the screen changes, and is very easy on the eyes. There is also a back-light that allows you to view your watch in low-light, so you wont need to turn on the lights to view the time. If you are in a dark situation, and you need to view the time quickly, you can manually press the menu buttons to force the back-light to turn on.
Fashion and Style
However, in terms of fashion, the Pebble would go well with casual styling; however, it'd be difficult to impress with this watch as it is a bit bland. If you do not like the plastic feel, the Pebble Steel has a metal casing and wrist band for $199.99. Functionality wise, the Pebble Steel works exactly the same, except for a few external differences. The wrist band, and casing is made of metal. If you want to make your Pebble look fashionable without buying the steel edition, there are a few inexpensive options to jazz up your watch.
Slipwrap had created these stylish looking skins to spice up the appeal of the front face of your Pebble. While installing these skins will not make the durability of your Pebble to the level of the Pebble Steel, it is a low cost solution to making your pebble more personalized and will only set your wallet back around $9.
If you do not like the original Pebble strap, there are alternatives; however, you should be careful. Pebble and the Pebble Steel wrist clips are a bit different, and different straps are made for different watches. It was difficult finding a steel wrist band for the original Pebble as there are not many; however, we included one that is of decent value in our review. It is made of metal and under $20.
On the other hand, there are many Pebble Steel wrist straps on the market, but we found the original steel wrist band the best. There is no need to switch out the stock wrist band unless you want your strap in a different tint of steel or leather.
The Pebble and the Pebble Steel functions relatively well as a smart watch. Having 5 to 7 days of battery life certainly night and day compared to other smart watches out there such as the Samsung Gear, and Sony SmartWatch (2-3 days, and 2 days respectively). The only contention is the 8 app limit, and lack of touch screen technology; however, it might not have the same amount of battery life if they expanded on these features. One of the most loved functionality quibbles of the Pebble is the on-watch notifications. We found it very convenient just looking at our watch to see the message that was sent to us with out having to take out our phone. If your phone is in your bag, you can look at your Pebble to see who messaged you and the actual message; however, we were hoping for an easy way to reply to messages. Perhaps next time, they could make pre-programmed messages into the Pebble App or some way to reply to the message conveniently. Other smart watches, seem to have that function nailed down. Also, the Pebble Nav Me App is really useful. This app shows your Google Map directions straight onto your Pebble, so you wont have to look down on your smart phone while traveling to your destination. Furthermore, the Pebble made changing music very convenient as well. You no longer need to take out your phone when suddenly a song you didn't like is playing.
Overall, the Pebble is a well executed Smart Watch developed by Pebble. Even though Pebble was just a small kick starter company, they managed to make a product that both, integrates well with a smart phone, and creates value by giving smartphone information conveniently to the owner. The 5 to 7 battery life is its killer feature, and we would recommend this watch over other smart watches.
Pebble gives their users a multitude of styling options, from build your own pebble, to the classy Pebble Steel. You cant go wrong with either of these watches as they are both the same device. One just has a cherry on top, and the other one you can put a fake cherry on top (with third party accessories). Additionally, you will be spending relatively less if you purchase the original Pebble compare to the Pebble Steel. ($99+ $29 vs $199) However, you receive a more durable device if you buy the e Steel version. So in the end, it's just a preference of whether you have the extra cash or you want to save up for the next Pebble.
There are lots of growth opportunities with this smart watch. Perhaps the screen resolution and overall presentation of this Pebble will be improved in future revisions. My guess is that they will name it Pebble HD or if they managed to add color to the Screen, Pebble Color. Or even Pebble Color HD.

The Fifth Beatle Celebrates A Birthday
Sir George Martin, CBE (forget the royal definition, this really stands for Certified Beatle Expert), turned 86 this week.
The "Fifth Beatle" was born on January 3, 1926, in London, England, and although he scoffs at the title, he can't deny the fact that he was involved in all The Beatles' original albums in a very big way, and he'll always be thought of as a true member of the band.
Reportedly, Martin wasn't overly impressed with The Beatles' sound and in first auditioning them in 1962, he asked them if there was anything they didn't like, to which George Harrison responded, "Well, there's your tie for a start." John and Paul added their own cracks and according to Bob Spitz in 2005's "The Beatles: The Biography" book, George Martin thought he should sign the band for their wit alone.
After signing them to their first recording contract, Martin's guiding hand helped sculpt the Beatles raw talent into the genius it would become and the sound beloved by so many throughout the world.
Producer, arranger, composer, musician, and conductor, as well as 1999 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, Sir George hasn't just worked with The Beatles, but with other great artists, as well (America, Wings, and Jeff Beck, among many others).
Happy birthday, Sir George Martin, on behalf of Beatles–and music— fans everywhere!

I use SUBSTRING_INDEX quite a lot on Eccommerce sites where for a listing of products I would like to extract a certain number of words from the actual product description:
SUBSTRING_INDEX('description', ' ' , 20) AS shortDesc
In most case this works like a charm! But there are those moments that the actual product description is devided in paragraphs. If in those cases the number of words in the first paragraph doesn't match the number of words in the SUBSTRING_INDEX, words from the second paragraph are added until it reach the number of words but with this the space between the paragraphs is included in my output. Is there any way to avoid this?
Thank you in advance
What do you want to do? Eliminate the space between paragraphs? Or show only the first paragraph?
Hi Guido, although my first reaction to your question was, lets elliminate the space between paragraphs, I think I would prefer the second option (show only the first paragraph). But if you don't mind can you show me the solution for the elimination for the space between the paragraphs as well?
Thank you in advance,donboe
how exactly would you detect where one paragraph ends and the next one begins?
also, are you sure you should be doing this with sql in the first place?
where's your html coming from?
what about getting the whole description from the db and showing in your output, just the first paragraph? Then you could display a 'More>>' link so the user could choose to read the full description and to facilitate this, you could use a JS solution, to avid reload of the page.
@ Rudy: I have no idea either with the paragraphs, but since Guido asked explicit what I would like to do I presumed, both ways were possible! But if not what would be the best approach. The text is entered by the site owner in a customized controlroom. It is just one text area where with enter a new parapraph is created.
@IBazz I can't use your approach, the way the listing is organized, but thank you for the idea
[quote="donboe,post:6,topic:84248"]It is just one text area where with enter a new parapraph is created.[/quote]then you can do this --
SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX(content,CHAR(13,10),1) AS first_paragraph

I enjoy reading - really like the Dan Brown style of writing and hence have read all his novels to date. Also starting reading Peter Robinson books now and enjoying those even more so than Dan Brown.
I like most music especially dance and indie/rock music to R&B.
I'm also a big film fan. Have many favourite movies.
My day to day job doesn't give me much chance of changing that situation, as its quite male dominated, so thought online dating could help and here I am.
If you want to know anymore please just ask and I won't bite your head off for asking :)

In a year when legislators have focused on reducing air pollution, two more clean air bills hit the home stretch on Wednesday.
The Senate Transportation Committee unanimously approved HB19 to help expand infrastructure to recharge electric vehicles, and HB271 to increase penalties for altering or operating diesel vehicles in ways to produce black, dirty exhaust.
Both now go to the full Senate to be considered for final passage.

Politics of Thursday, 15 November 2012
Source: The Accra Times
Mohammed Saani Ibrahim---.
The Leadership of the ruling National Democratic Congress[NDC] have issued a warning signal to all its members who have decided to contest the December polls as Independent Parliamentary candidates to rescind their decisions.
The NDC have given these candidates just a week to decide whether they would like to continue being NDC members or will proceed to contest in the elections as Independent Parliamentary candidates.
Briefing press men in Accra, NDC General Secretary, Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia, quoted certain portions of the Party's constitution which forbids members from contesting as Independent candidates or on the tickets of other political parties.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia said the NDC unlike in 2008 has full complement of Parliamentary Candidates contesting in all the 275 constituencies nationwide. He was however quick to add that 25 Party members who contested and lost the primaries are going independent.
According to him, the NDC Constitution does not made provision for any party member to contest on the ticket of another party, as independent candidate or campaign for candidates other that of the NDC. It is against this background that the NDC finds the actions of these Independent Candidates as contrary to the party's constitution.
The Party has barred these Independent Candidates from using the NDC logos and the use of the John Mahama's pictures besides theirs on their campaign paranapherlias. The NDC does not want these people to campaign for John Dramani Mahama henceforth until they rescind their decisions.
He said by the close of the one week ultimatum, which falls on 14th November 2012 and these candidates have not rescind their decisions to go independent, they should expect not to be members of the NDC .
Mr. Asiedu Nketia further warned all NDC Executives especially the District,Metropolitan and Municipal Chief Executives, that anyone found campaigning for or in support of these Independent Candidates will incur the wrath of the NDC disciplinary action.
On whether the NDC will deal with any Independent Candidate who wins his seat, he said the NDC will not deal with such candidates during Parliamentary business and that such a candidate can defect back to the NDC only after relinquishing his or her position as a Parliamentarian.
Responding to a question of whether the Party will accept them back after the polls, he answered ''the NDC as a party, has never closed its doors to anyone, provided one has fulfilled the legal requirements but they must start as fresh members from their constituencies or branches''.
The President and Party's flagbearer has set up a Committee whose mandate is to contact and reconcile all 25 persons with the party .But it is up to these candidates to accept to be back in the party or still proceed with their intentions to contest as Independent Candidates thereby automatically abdicating their memberships in the NDC.

Cerebral Oximetry and Perioperative Outcome in Non-Cardiac Surgery

- How to Read a Study Record
Cerebral desaturations occur frequently in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The definition of what constitutes a cerebral desaturation, the incidence of the phenomenon, the association between desaturations and perioperative outcome, and the mechanistic explanations of cerebral desaturations remain unexamined. This study seeks to identify the true incidence and magnitude of cerebral desaturations in high-risk non-cardiac surgical patients and the association between desaturations and perioperative outcome.
The investigators will attempt to determine the following (1) The proper definition, incidence and severity of decreased cerebral saturation (rSO2) in high-risk non-cardiac surgical patients (2) the mechanisms surrounding decreases in rSO2 by correlating it with alterations in physiologic parameters (such as blood pressure, cardiac output, hemoglobin concentration, and carbon dioxide levels) and (3) to correlate the incidence and severity of decreased rSO2 with relevant perioperative.
The investigators will also analyze a panel of inflammatory biomarkers to determine if these biomarkers have the ability to predict postoperative complications.
The investigators will study 200 high-risk patients undergoing high-risk non-cardiac surgery. The investigators will determine the incidence and severity of decreases in rSO2, the associated factors with the occurrence of decreased rSO2, and the relationship between decreases in rSO2 and adverse perioperative outcome with a composite of well defined perioperative complications such as death, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, acute kidney injury, delirium, postoperative infections, and the need for mechanical ventilation.

Community considers political speech on First Amendment Day
For sophomore Lea Palmer, the right to free speech comes with a risk.
"I'd be worried about walking back into a classroom after saying I was conservative, just because of the looks I'd get from people," said Palmer, who is a member of UNC's College Republicans.
Today UNC's Center for Media Law and Policy is celebrating the First Amendment — but some students say they do not feel secure in their freedom to speak out at UNC.
In the center of a traditionally conservative state, Chapel Hill is a bubble of left-leaning politics in North Carolina. About 70 percent of Orange County voters in the 2012 presidential election voted for Barack Obama, compared to 48 percent of North Carolina voters.
Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt said the culture of Chapel Hill embraces a diversity of political thought.
"We have a strong tradition in North Carolina — particularly in Chapel Hill — of being open to multiple perspectives," he said.
But some students don't feel that openness at UNC.
"Even if you just say the word — that you're conservative or Republican — you're not taken seriously," Palmer said.
From the inside
Peter McClelland, chairman of the College Republicans, said his organization is often approached by students who want to be involved but don't want their names officially listed on the roster.
"It just happens because of the culture on this campus," he said.
McClelland said students in an ideological minority are not prevented from speaking out but rather feel like they shouldn't — for example, he said some might worry that an unpopular viewpoint expressed in a paper might negatively impact its grade.
"Whether it does or not, there's still a fear," he said.
Evelyne Huber, chairwoman of the political science department, said professors are supposed to assess papers based on their scholarly merits, not on the viewpoints expressed.
Chris Clemens, a Republican physics professor and the adviser for the Carolina Review, the College Republicans and the Tar Heel Rifle and Pistol Club, said faculty at UNC — which he believes are 90 percent left-leaning — might have trouble digesting the viewpoints of conservative students.
But he said they would never act differently toward a student because of his or her views.
"The faculty that I know … I don't think any of them would intentionally marginalize a student," he said. "They would be appalled if that happened."
Huber said political science professors at UNC are hired through an ideology-blind selection process, so there is no official record of professors' political affiliations.
She said it's a professor's responsibility to ensure that students respect the diversity of opinions expressed in class.
"Professors are very aware of the need to have a civil discourse in class," she said. "Very often students are not that way. Students can be quite brutal attacking another's viewpoints."
Randall Styers, chairman of the religious studies department, said students often get upset in class because they are emotionally involved in the topics being discussed.
"Encountering new ideas that challenge what they came in believing … sometimes they get unhappy or agitated surrounding that," he said. "I think that's actually a good thing. It shows growing pains."
But students like Palmer say dissenting with the majority is harder than it should be.
Her conservative friends are laidback about their political views, she said, because there are consequences to bringing it up in casual conversation.
"They won't come out about it and say, 'I'm conservative,' because other people will be offended about it," Palmer said.
Clemens said it's even harder for conservative faculty to speak out than for conservative students.
"I have felt that it was difficult to speak up," he said. "Because you're fighting an assumption that everyone in the room was in agreement."
He said there is a shortage of politically conservative faculty to serve as mentors for right-leaning student groups.
"I have to advise three conservative groups because they can't find other faculty," he said.
Clemens was an adviser to the former Youth for Western Civilization student group. The organization was the subject of controversy in 2009 when it brought former U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo to speak on campus, who was a known opponent of illegal immigration.
Tancredo's presence on campus sparked a student protest that gained national attention.
David Ortiz, editor-in-chief of the conservative Carolina Review magazine, said he thinks the publication and its ideologies are generally respected on campus.
"I don't feel like there's an active hatred out there," he said. "But I have heard antagonism expressed."
Ortiz said he thinks the intellectual atmosphere at UNC would improve if there were a more politically balanced array of speakers and events on campus. He said the magazine is the University's second-most read student publication.
"I think that UNC could benefit by kind of re-looking at intellectual diversity and what that means," he said.
Huber said the perception that certain views are not welcome might be self-imposed.
"Any minority can feel uncomfortable in a context where he or she is a minority, including in terms of political ideology," she said.
From the outside
Kleinschmidt said he recognizes that it could be hard for a conservative to live in such a liberal community. But he said Chapel Hill welcomes alternative perspectives because their presence adds value to conversations and helps test the positions of residents on the left.
"It ultimately makes us more effective as a leader in the state," he said.
He said Chapel Hill — a strongly Democratic town in a Republican-run state — is a salient leader in politics.
"At the end of the day, the kind of political ideas that come out of Chapel Hill and Orange County have created a lot of positive change in the state," he said. "Ultimately the rest of the state comes along."
Kleinschmidt said Chapel Hill faces a challenge in speaking up to the state because of the community's progressive ideas, but those ideas are respected because they're founded in quality research and thought.
"Very, very conservative people hold Chapel Hill in some contempt because we are often taken seriously," he said.
"If we hadn't as a community been successful in leading the rest of the state, I think we would've given up on it."
Former N.C. Senator Ellie Kinnaird said Orange County will always continue its historical tradition of fighting the status quo, despite the challenge of being in the state's political minority.
"You have to understand that anything that comes out of Orange County and the legislature is immediately suspect," she said. "I don't think Orange County has ever been intimidated."
Kinnaird said Chapel Hill's position is unique, and the county's voters are powerful.
"We have bold constituents," she said. "They are very vocal … and they know how to make their voice heard."
Kleinschmidt said the resolution Chapel Hill passed in opposition to N.C. Amendment One represents the community's dedication to the First Amendment rights.
"At the end of the day the First Amendment is here for people's right to advocate for themselves … without fear of abuse," he said.
"We think that every right that the Constitution provides to its citizens should be given to all its citizens."
Styers said one of his favorite parts of working at UNC is facilitating interaction between people with differing perspectives.
"I love teaching students here because this is a very good place for students to think about the world in new ways and sort of encounter a bigger world," he said.

GBC ATV Tires are listed by the tire name, below.These ATV Tire links go to the pages with GBC ATV tires on them with pictures and prices.
ATV Tire Store will special order any GBC tires we do not have in stock.
So why have you probably been hearing a lot about GBC ATV tires from your friends that own quads and others in the industry? In our opinion, it's because GBC has fast become the leader in the UTV and utilty quad tire market. They offer 4 tires with an 8 ply rating. No other tire manufacturer has that. The tread patterns of the Dirt Commander, Spartacus, and Grim Reaper are innovative and cutting edge. We strongly recommend that you take a hard look at one of these GBC ATV tires. They are priced competitively and are simply a top quality 4 wheeler tire.
Please note: Tires supplied may not have the model 'hot patch' graphic on the side of the tire. This is due to a change in production policy by GBC.
GBC Motorsports the official company name of GBC ATV Tires is owned by the Greenball corporation. This manufacturer has been making tires for a long long time but is fairly new to the ATV market. While they are somewhat new to the market, GBC ATV Tires have taken the ATV and UTV tire market by storm. We have been selling GBC tires for over 5 years and have had excellent luck with their products.
ITP tires may have been the first to the aftermarket scene, but GBC is the new force to be dealt with. The aggressive tread designs of the Grim Reaper and Spartacus are excellent examples of GBC tires that wear well while providing 8 ply radial construction that is second to no ATV tire on the market. Many UTV racers have adapted the Grim Reaper ATV tires for their Polaris Rzr due to it's ability to hook-up and strong sidewalls that help in cornering.
Utility Vehicles or UTV's are also used in many cases for work. GBC offers more 8 ply constructed ATV Tires than any other manufacturer. Sidewalls are easily punctured on UTV's due to both the heavy weight of the vehicle itself, and also the payload that these machines many times carry. As a result, many owners replace the factory 4 or 6 ply UTV tires with a GBC Dirt Commander, Spartacus, or Grip Reaper...all of which are 8 ply constructed. GBC ATV tires provide greater puncture resistance and greater load carrying capacity.
Dirt Devil is the most popular GBC ATV Tires. These well constructed 6 ply tires are excellent replacement tires for riders that want an aggressive low cost ATV Tire. Many experts suggest that the less stiff sidewall of a bias constructed tire, like the Dirt Devil, will tend to offer more "bite" in off road conditions by offering more flex which provides greater tire contact with the terrain. The Dirt Devil tires offer similar tread design to the popular Mudlite tire, but at a fraction of the cost.
For those of you that like mud bogging, the Gator by GBC ATV tires is a perfect choice. The lug depth of the Gator varies from 7/8 inch to 1.2 inches depending on the tire size. This inch of lug depth will help your Quad through any depth of mud!
GBC tires also make several choices for all you ATV racers. The X-Rex and Race-Rex both offer great race tread while again offering stiff 6 ply construction to aide your 4 wheeler around the corners without losing speed. The feedback we've received from our customers is that these GBC tires are as good as the popular Holeshots but again at a fraction of the cost.

A THAI boxing instructor has gone to the birthplace of his beloved sport — to give a talk about all things Bolton.
Halliwell bricklayer Ian Walsh travelled to Thailand to take part in a special training camp and have his skills judged by monks, and also visited Rajbhat University in the north of Bangkok to see Simon Watts, an English teacher from Heaton, and talk to his class.
The 44-year-old, who volunteers and trains at Walkden Thai Boxing Club, also spent time at an orphanage building walls.
He said: "Visiting the orphanage was a good experience — there's a lot of poverty over there, but the children were well looked after.
"At the university I did a talk about England and Thai boxing culture over here.
"I took pictures of Bolton and told them about the history of Bolton.
"They were really interested in England and people who spoke English. I learnt a lot too."

Either Trump is oblivious to reports that White House chaos and incompetence are causing insurers to pull out of health care markets, or he just doesn't care. Reports indicate that he is now saying he wants to stop cost sharing reduction payments, which would sow further chaos in the markets. From Politico:
…I think that Bob Mueller's appointment was an excellent appointment, which will in fact lead to a very fair, thorough investigation, and the facts will dictate the result, not politics.
"Republicans are on the defense when it comes to TrumpCare, but alternative facts won't make the legislation any more popular," said Whip Hoyer. "The reality is that TrumpCare will kick 24 million Americans off of their coverage and force millions of others to pay more for less. Democrats will continue to hold Republicans accountable for their vote and make it clear to the American people what is at stake as Senate Republicans move ahead with this repeal effort."

It certainly does. The Evil Mad Scientists have some key realizations about making junkfood in a fab: sugar is cheap, precision isn't important, and hot air guns are cheaper fusers than lasers. This looks totally build-able.
Link (Thanks, Douglips!)
Our design goals were (1) a low cost design leveraging recycled components (2) large printable volume emphasized over high resolution, and (3) ability to use low-cost printing media including granulated sugar. We are extremely pleased to be able to report that it has been a success: Our three dimensional fabricator is now fully operational and we have used it to print several large, low-resolution, objects out of pure sugar.

By Gail Perry, CPA - According to the not-for-profit National Priorities Project, a research organization that analyzes and clarifies federal data, the cost of U.S. involvement in the Iraq war is fast approaching $500 billion. There are lots of people on all sides of the political spectrum who worry about how our country can afford this expense, where the money is coming from, how future generations will be affected, and so on. And yet, our generous government just managed to pull another $150 billion out of its bottomless hat to provide tax "rebates" that are set to be mailed to nearly all U.S. taxpayers and millions of people who don't even pay taxes (which is why the word "rebates" is in quotes) this spring. This might sound like a good idea to you. Politicians certainly seem to think this technique will jump-start the economy, or at least their bids for reelection. For me, I'm getting more and more confused. Am I still supposed to worry about turning off the lights in empty rooms, walking instead of driving, turning down the thermostat in the winter? Or have we just thrown frugality completely out the window? This week's article about budgeting might be something our federal government needs to read.

Minecraft. Minecon. World of Minecon. Er… World of Minecraft
Last week Mojang put on a fantastic free exhibition last week called the World of Minecraft (possibly) at the Victoria Albert Museum in London. They really put on a show and fans responded in kind, with over 5,000 people turning up to the shindig. We had to leave in a hurry though since it was getting dark and none of us had the forethought to craft any swords. Here's a video with some footage of the event, my thoughts, and the moment I met Mojang's Lydia Winters which was totally awesome! And really awkward! But mostly awesome! Cheers to all the Mojang guys for...Read More
Minecraft Wrap-Up
This blog is now finished and will no longer be updated. Yes, I died. Well, kinda… The adventure was truly epic, and spanned 15 posts before reaching its conclusion. The newest posts are up top while the oldest are down the bottom (if that makes sense). If it does not make sense, and I'm not sure if it does, here's a summary which you can use to quick jump to a post. All links open in a new window: #1 – Let the Crafting of Mines Commence! #2 – The Ziggurat #3 – Meet Kenneth #4 – Iron Man #5 – The Enderbus is Coming #6 – In Which Elements...Read More
#15 – In Which We Find a G-G-G-GHAST!
When I warped into the Nether, I didn't know what I'd find. Death, I fancied. But based on my past experiences in the Nether, one thing I could be certain to see was fire, brimstone and lakes of molten lava. Imagine my confusion when I walk into what looks like the Sea Life center in Birmingham. Water. Gallons and gallons of the stuff, in a world in which water technically cannot exist – swirling torrents gushing around the portal, threatening to sweep both Sp1z and I away. I look around and my confusion turns to terror as a few Ghasts are homing in on us, and I'll...Read More
#14 – In Which Six Short Steps are Made
Huzzah – two people in the game! A hole in me has been filled, and the man to fill it is Sp1z! By 'hole' I mean the loneliness I was experiencing, not my… yeah, I guess that does read a bit weird. "Where are you?" he asks. "Some dude's base. I think it's Keith's." "I'm in the NPC village right now, I'll meet you outside his main entrance." I run out of the base and into the meadow in order to give him a hug when he arrives. It's a few minute's walk from the NPC village so I leave my desk to...Read More
#13 – In Which Foes are Bested
After seeing the crazy lava column which someone had created as a beacon on the horizon, I made a bee line towards it in the hopes of finding someone, or if there is nobody around, at least finding someone's base from which I could steal their stuff. Probably best if they're not around when that happens. Despite my game stats telling me there's nobody else online, I still feel… I dunno, a bit paranoid? I can't shake the feeling that someone is watching me. But I digress. The lava column is far greater than I had originally thought, and its spread is massive at...Read More
#12 – In Which Company is Sought
Ahhh… FINALLY! After leaving the cave which seemed to have no sign of diamond whatsoever – just some pointless lapis lazuli – I spend yet another hour plodding around the deepest recesses of this underground yawn-fest. A bit of excitement ensues when I come across a skellington spawner (which I defeat without any of the problems from last time) but other than that, nothing happens… … Until, at long last, I come across a bunch of diamonds exposed in an otherwise unremarkable cave wall. Not lapis lazuli. Not some graffiti sprayed by our arch-nemesis Kenneth in an...Read More
#11 – In Which Delicacies are Eaten
I'm in a cave, with one point of health, and stuck with a spider who seems keen to relieve me of it. This does not bode well. With ninja-like reaction speeds, the second I see the spawner (after mindlessly walking straight into it without paying attention to where I'm going) I throw some torches around it in order to stop it spawning more spiders. It only churns one out before it's disabled. But perhaps I'm not in such great danger after all. I remember that spiders are only hostile at night – otherwise, they mind their own business – and it was definitely...Read More
#10 – In Which Spawners Sporadically Spawn and Subsequently Spawn Spiders
I make it safely to my half-finished castle thing under the cover of darkness and set about turning it into a fully-finished castle thing. In case you're curious as to the castle's layout, this room will be the foyer to the East Wing once I've added more than this one crappy stone box. There's not even a door as of yet. I've literally encased myself in a concrete tomb… Brrr. But any kind of shelter in Minecraft is welcome after sunset, so let's not be too judgemental. At least I'm not renting – I own the place with no mortgage to pay off,...Read More

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Jan 7, 2012.
QuestionThank you for taking my question, it is in regards to life insurance.
I am a single father 47 years of age and for the most part healthy. I am employeed by the same company since 1985. I own my home (well the bank ownes it) and I have about $80K in equity at the moment, the home is now worth about $380K. I have $100K company paid life insurance. I have about $135K in a cash value pension fund. I have about $275K in my 401k, and I have about 20K cash in the bank. Currently I am fine with my income and meet all debts. Other than Mortgage and a car loan, I have no other debt. Not even credit card.
My child is 13 and in 7th grade. I figure including a 4 year college I am financially responsible for about 10 more years.
In addition to all of this I own a term life and a whole life policy. The term is for $200K and the whole is $300K but will grow as I continue to live. I don''t think I need this. It cost me about $1,100 a year in premiums and they are coming due next month. Do you see a need to keep those as well? My child gets everything so if I died today my child would have a nice start. If I continue to live, in theory, my 401 and cash value pension will grow, my principle will be paid down on the house giving more equity and dare I say home prices should be worth more.
What do you think?
hmmm. If you die the following occurs:
1. No income.
2. pension and 401K=410K fully taxable if you withdraw so college is paid. assumes no decline in balance . some growth.
3. house is sold as kids will have to live with new guardian= 65k after fees....that goes to raise the kids
Looks good on paper that you can do without this. HOWEVER..... since you need only until the kids do college why keep the more expensive whole life? Maybe just the term for a few more years...lower cost the extra 200K cant hurt ( and it''s tax free).
My larger concern is that you have a will with guardians for the children, a power of attorney (in case of incapacitation..accident, and a living will.
Also think about when the children can get all that money if you die in a car accident tomorrow. ALL at age 18? hmmm. maybe some restrictions?
Overall you seem to have done and continue to do a great financial job.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With the calendar turned to June, thought turns to sunny beaches, cool mountains and lazy days nursing a lemonade without a care in the world.
Three-quarters of Americans are looking forward to a vacation this summer (176 million travelers in all), according to the latest American Express Spending & Savings Tracker. That figure is up from 69% last year and 59% from 2012, suggesting that Americans are feeling better about the economy, and maybe also need a break after one of the most volatile economic periods in U.S. history.
They may need to figure out a way to pay for their vacations, though.
"We are seeing that Americans are indeed spending more, but they are still being resourceful in order to cut costs where they can," says Claire Bennett, an executive vice president at American Express Travel. "Travelers are doing their homework and taking more time to plan, ensuring they get the best deal possible without sacrificing those little extras that make their trips special. Most will plan trips at least a month in advance and expect to visit an average five websites to find deals."
How are we, as a nation, paying for all of this sun and fun? By cutting costs wherever possible and making choices that offer a reduced price tag on summer trips. That's what 90% of Americans plan to do this summer, according to Amex.
Here's a look at how Americans are reducing the price of a vacation over the next 12 weeks:

Browse and register for related classes.
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common condition in which the
mitral valve between the left upper chamber (left atrium) and left lower
chamber (left ventricle) of the heart does not function properly. In most
people, mitral valve prolapse does not cause any symptoms, usually does not
cause any health problems, and does not require treatment.
In mitral valve prolapse, the valve flaps bulge (prolapse) upward
into the left atrium rather than closing smoothly as the heart contracts. In
rare cases, blood may leak backward through the prolapsed valve into the
atrium. This condition is called mitral valve regurgitation.

Development Slates Shrinking As Film Remakes, Sequels Dominate
