After this long wet winter and recent coastal eddie you may be experiencing a bloom of green algae on your patio concrete, roof tiles, or even the north-facing exterior of your home. Green algae loves to hid in rain gutters, and if your rain-gutters have not been cleaned out, they have damp soil in them; a perfect ecology for algae. Clear Choice Window Cleaning of Carlsbad, CA. has been having great success removing green algae from residences in North County San Diego. We have found that the best way to remove green algae is to blast it away with a steady stream of water at high velocity. We employ the latest pressure washing technology to accomplish this. We safely clean entire roofs of algae to restore the tiles to their original color. When a blackened roof returns to its true, light red-clay color the transformation is remarkable.
I would like to offer a few tips regarding algae removal. It is important to do a thorough job of it. Algae will follow the course of water in its growth pattern so start from the crest of your roof and work downward. (by all means us a rope-anchoring system up there, for wet algae is mighty slippery). Make sure to clean out your rain gutters and wash all debris down your walls and off your concrete onto your lawn and landscape. Algae will not harm your grass or landscape for this is its proper home wherein it provides nutrients to your soil. Also the townships of North County San Diego forbid rinsing any material down storm drains even if it is organic. Use a powerful machine, but make sure the nozzle does not concentrate the water-jet too much; as the wrong nozzle attachment can cause damage.
This blog is about green algae because it is the most common type of algae growing in our area and it can be cleaned off. Be aware that there is a type of black algae that grows deep roots and does not come off. Black algae loves to root itself into stucco walls. In which case the best thing to do is power-wash it to remove all the organic matter that you can, kill it with stain-kill and paint over it. For black algae re-painting is the only solution, because it effectively cuts off the plant from its oxygen source. Clear Choice is proud to offer our competitively priced and experienced painting service.
Clear Choice's competitively priced pressure washing service is an economical way to safely and effectively clean the entire exterior surface of your home. After which we will give you a discount price on cleaning your windows. For more information regarding our services and to contact us visit: carlsbadwindowcleaningpro.com

What is Breast Thermography?
Breast Thermography is a non invasive and non destructive way to screen for breast cancer without radiation or compression. It uses state of the art technology that assesses heat in the breast through infrared technology. Comparative exams can create a baseline for monitoring breast health based on thermal changes.
What is Medical Thermography?
Medical Thermography is a whole body analysis for assessing skin surface temperatures that can be correlated by a physician to assess for abnormal physiology. Uses for thermography are similar to that of an oral thermometer, a stethoscope, or any other medical test that assesses patient function. There are several type of medical devices used by the medical thermologist. These include contact sensors, infrared cameras, and point analysis systems. The most technical and advanced system is the infrared thermal camera and is the choice technology of Breast Thermography International and the Professional Academy of Clinical Thermology. Infrared cameras measure radiation in the infrared electromagnetic emission that the human body emits. The sensors on the thermal camera read varying degrees of infrared emittance and through proper calibration translates it in to a temperature reading. The information is then plotted in a digital format in color palette. The most commonly palette is the rainbow (ROYGBIV) that shows hot measurements as red and white and cold as magenta and black. These patterns are then analyzed and physiological assessments are made.
Who Interprets Medical Thermography Images?
Board Certified Physicians interpret thermography images. Breast Thermography International relies on the advanced training and certification through certification through the Professional Academy of Clinical Thermology. Our thermography interpreters have over 40 years of experience in medical thermography. Every image is analyzed by three levels of interpreters with varying degrees of expertise.
How Do I Receive My Results?
A complete assessment of your skin surface temperature measurements will be compiled in a multi-page report after our medical thermology team has completed their in-depth work. Reports will be issued in a digital format so you may enjoy the high resolution images on your favorite digital device. You will see various measurements and comments based on your findings that will need to be investigated by a physician. Medical Thermology reports are easy to understand by your doctor as their training in physiology and anatomy is extensive. If they need help understanding our team of doctors are always willing to lend a hand. A baseline study is usually needed so that future comparisons can be analyzed.
Where can I find a Certified Thermography Lab Center?
Breast Thermography International has many labs throughout the USA and other parts of the world. These thermography centers are operated by Certified Thermographic Technicians that have had intensive medical thermography training. All technicians are required to use PACT Board Certified Interpreters. All patients records are held by our central organization and you will be able to choose to go to any of our locations seamlessly.

We've been talking about young leaders this week. We started with three secrets for young leaders and then reflected on why it's essential to get young leaders into your organization now.
So what about the reputation millennials have for being slackers?
It's fairly pervasive. Do a quick google search for the phrase "millennials are …" and the autocomplete adds "lazy." Burn.
Want to banish that label for good as a young leader? Great. Me too!
Here are seven habits that can help you do that. Some of these I learned myself when I was in my 20s. Some I've learned from other leaders:
1. Show up early.
Don't just show up on time. Show up early.
Leave extra time for traffic. Walk into the meeting early if you can, and at all times use the extra time before you walk in to compose yourself and get ready for what's ahead.
Showing up early is a great practice on almost every level.
2. Show up prepared.
Whether it's just a day in the office, a critical meeting or a lunch, pre-think what's going to happen.
Show up with your head in the game. Have your homework completed, digested. Have all the tools you need with you ready to go (charged laptop or tablet, meeting notes, handouts—whatever you need.)
Showing up prepared shows you value others' time.
3. Develop a system for capturing to-dos with 100 percent accuracy.
When you're the low person on the org chart, you're probably going to get a lot of "follow-ups."
It's critical you develop a system for capturing to-dos, follow-ups and notes. Currently, I use Things by Culture Code across all my devices. Regardless of what you use, the system is key. Only 8-year-olds have a simple enough life to keep it all straight in their heads.
You need a system you can rely on all day every day no matter what.

Tonight, the Angelika Film Center plays host to "Christmas in Black and White," a presentation of short, silent holiday films accompanied by the Fairfax Symphony Orchestra and singers from the National Broadway Chorus. Among the films on tap 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, A Winter Straw Ride, A Christmas Carol and The Adventure of the Wrong Santa Claus.
Thursday, Dec. 12, at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Angelika Mosaic, Lee Highway & Gallows Road near 8200 Strawberry Lane, Fairfax, Va. Tickets are $15. Call 571-512-3301 or visit angelikafilmcenter.com.
That may be your only chance to catch a holiday movie with a symphony this season, but you can still get your fill of film around town.
The best opportunity to gorge on holiday cinema comes this Sunday, Dec. 15, with the "2013 Christmas Movie Festival" at the Arlington Cinema &' Drafthouse. The Drafthouse is certainly one of the region's most entertaining places to see a movie – since there's table service with food and alcohol. And every year the Drafthouse also throws a Christmas movie marathon, mostly popular films from the past few decades. How The Grinch Stole Christmas and A Charlie Brown Christmas screen a couple times during the day, along with Elf at 1 p.m., A Christmas Story at 3 p.m., Scrooged at 5:15 p.m., and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation at 7:20 p.m.
Sunday, Dec. 15, from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Arlington Cinema N' Drafthouse, 2903 Columbia Pike, Arlington. Tickets are only $8. Call 703-486-2345 or visit arlingtondrafthouse.com.
But if a one-day binge fest isn't quite to your holiday tastes, your best bet is probably the American Film Institute's Silver Theatre in Silver Spring. Between now and Christmas the venue features multiple screenings of "Holiday Classics," including a majority of the greats you can think of, from White Christmas to It's A Wonderful Life to The Muppet Christmas Carol. Why, there's even the only tangentially Christmas-related Die Hard.
To which there can be only one proper response, quoting the 25-year-old film that made Bruce Willis's career: "If this is their idea of Christmas, I gotta be here for New Year's."

chiropractic table can be the biggest decision you make for your chiropractic practice with the exception of location. There are over 100 chiropractic table manufacturers and each may have 10 or more types of tables. It can be a daunting task. But if you can narrow the down the parameters of what kind of table you need for your practice, you will then be able to narrow the list of tables from the hundreds to just a few that fit and suite you.
1. What is my technique?
This one question will narrow the field of tables probably more than any other. Do you just do adjustments? Do you do therapies? Do you do ART? Do you practice Applied Kinesiology? Do you do a lot of muscle work and need the table higher or lower? Think about what you do most in your clinic right now and find a table that fit your techniques. Just because the chiropractor down the street had a decompression table or a traction table doesn't mean you have to match him or her if that is not your practice style. You don't want to waste money needlessly just to keep up.
2. What is the demographic of my patient base?
Are they older? Athletes? Kids? The type of table you need will vary greatly depending on the age and physical abilities of your patients. If you have all athletes you may not need much more than an adjusting bench. If you have an older patient base you may need a Hi/Lo table to help them get up and down. Take a good demographic look at your patient base before you buy a table.
3. How much am I going to use it?
Is this going to be your primary table, a second, or even third table? If it is a second table, will it be used in the same way as the first. If you are using it as a second table and it is mainly used for overflow or on really busy days, you may need need all the extras as the first table.
4. How much do I want to spend?
Or better yet, how much can you spend? One of the biggest mistakes young chiropractors make is overspending on office equipment before they have even seen a patient. Having a nice looking office is important, but you have to be able to pay the bills and stay open. Figure out the top amount you are willing to spend and stick with it.
5. What is the warranty?
A pretty obvious question to ask, but surprisingly overlooked by many buyers. Find out what the warranty is on every part of the table, and then ask what happens after the warranty ends. Do they fix it? Do they know a repair person in your area? Is the person in the area familiar with chiropractic tables and the tables of the manufacturer you are interested in. Make sure you know what will happen if the table breaks down after the warranty is up.
6. Would I use traction and/or decompression?
Traction and decompression tables are very helpful for patients with herniated discs and many other conditions, just make sure that you will use it in your practice and you know how to code and bill for it correctly. They can be more expensive, so it is a good idea to know how to bill and code correctly before you purchase.
7. Do I need Elevation?
Do you do ultrasound, ART, muscle work, or other types of manual therapy that could cause you to bend over the patient for long periods of time? We need to think about our backs when working with the patients, otherwise we will end up as the patient. The next time you are back at work, see how much time you end of bending and working on a patient. If you are bending quite a bit, you may want to consider an elevation chiropractic table to bring the patient up to you and allow you to work standing straight. Save your back!
8. Do I need drops?
Do you use drops now? Do you need drops? Would you use them? Consider if you would use drop pieces if you added them, but also look at your patient base. Do they need you to have drop pieces? Drop pieces are a wonderful addition to a table, but can add to the price quickly.
9. Is the manufacturer reputable?
How long have they been making chiropractic tables? Have you heard from any colleagues about their quality? The good news for chiropractors is that most chiropractic table manufacturers have been around a long time, make quality tables, and have good customer service.
10. Do I need manual or electric flexion/distraction?
Again, you need to look at your patient base and decide how much you would use the electric/automatic flexion. Maybe you only have a few patients you would use a flexion/distraction chiropractic table on and a manual table would work great. If you would use it more than a few times a month, maybe you want to consider the electric flexion tables. Or if you are older, or a smaller person and have larger patients. The electric flexion/distraction can save your back!
11. What color do I want?
This may seem trivial after asking some of the other questions, but aesthetics can make a huge difference for patients. They want your clinic to look clean, neat, up to date, and even color coordinate. The patient not only judges you on whether you get them better or not, but also on what your office looks like.
Do your homework when buying a chiropractic table and make sure you do not have buyer's remorse later.

With Halloween quickly approaching, many of us are scrambling to put the finishing touches on our costumes. As IT professionals and lovers of all things tech, Halloween gives us a chance to dress up as one of our favorite gadgets or maybe even design a creative high-tech costume. Would we dress up as something as ordinary as a monster or pirate? Not a chance.
Luckily, with technology constantly changing, there will always be something new and fun for us to imitate. The following are some favorite techy costume ideas from over the years:

A Homeschool Day In the Life (with an 8 & 6 year old)
Over at Simple Homeschool Jamie is having the "Homeschool Day In the Life" series where you post what one day of homeschool life is like. I participated in this two years ago (my boys have grown so much) and thought that I would do so again.
Here was a random Thursday that we had, but most days follow this routine.
I get up around 6:45 and get ready to go and workout (from an online video). I never set an alarm to wake-up and let my body naturally wake-up. Before I workout, I check some of my emails on my phone. I then workout for 30-60 minutes (today was for 45 minutes).
The boys are waking at the same time I do, or a little later, but they usually spend 20-30 minutes talking in bed before coming out into the family room where I am. If it is a workout that they like, they'll join me :). After some prodding, my oldest gets in the shower and my youngest follows him (my husband is on a work trip, but if he is home he usually starts working out at this time). After the workout, I make breakfast for both of the boys, but many days they will make their own breakfasts or their dad does before he works out. I just have to remind them that they have to have a protein and not just sugar! After they are finished with breakfast they have been doing the online math program Smarttick (it's good, but I saw the sticker price and we will not be continuing after our trial is up!). Each kid gets 15 minutes of Smarttick. Afterwards, they usually stay at our dining room table and draw pictures or they go and play with Legos. During this time I finish checking all of my emails (including reading blogs I follow) and check to see the status of April the Giraffe!
Around 9am I hop in the shower and get ready for the day. On good days I hope to get school started now, but I'm running slow! I also stay in the shower much too long, but the house is cold and the shower feels so good! Once I'm ready I gather all of the materials that I will be reading to the boys for school and we head into our family room to start school. The boys get a snack or a second breakfast (they are two bottomless pits!). We start "school" and I read stories from our Build Your Library (BYL) curriculum. This includes language arts, science, and geography. On Thursdays Nathan's schoolwork goes first and then I move onto Anderson's. The boys really enjoy this time because they like being read to. After the BYL work I read some picture books that complement what we are learning for history. I quit BYL for history and have gone back to using History Odyssey (HO). We are currently reading about the Middle Ages. HO has more book recommendations that I think work better for my boys and get them interested in the time period. Neither of my boys are independent readers, so much of our time is spent with me reading to them. I look forward to when I can give them instructions on what to read and they can do it without me :). If there are any activities to go with what we are reading and learning about we will do that now.
It's now about 11am and we take a break so that I can have my breakfast. My husband and I are eating breakfast so late because we do intermittent fasting. We only eat for 8 hours during the day (11am-7pm) and so far this way of eating hasn't been bad at all and is something that we both are happy with. Since my husband and I are making food this prompts the boys to want to eat too, so they make themselves an early lunch, which is usually a sandwich of some variety. The boys take a longer break to play because they aren't as enthusiastic about the next portion of learning.
We have been using the program All About Reading for both of my boys. My oldest is categorized as being in third grade, but he is not independently reading yet. I had heard from many people that this is a great program for those who are not up to grade level with reading. I've found that this program has been great! Both of my boys like it and I've seen huge improvements with my oldest. Each lesson has just the right amount of reading to not be frustrating, which is a big plus. My youngest is in Kinder and I have found that he is beyond his level in the program (he started reading on his own), but we still do the lessons so that he has a good foundation.
After reading we do our math program Right Start Math (RSM). When we were starting out homeschooling this year I wasn't sure what math program we should use and I took this quiz and it was suggested that RSM was the best fit for us (my husband got the same results). I like the program and my boys seem to enjoy it too, although sometimes they complain about having to do it. I think that they complain because it's usually the last thing that we do for the day and they just want to be done!
For reading and math I work with one boy at a time. They alternate who goes first each day. I tried having one do reading and then the other one do reading, but that was a no go. While one of them is working with me the other one is usually playing or trying to find ways to annoy their sibling while they are working. My oldest does have to read by himself for 20 minutes. He can pick any book and read as much as he can. Lately, he's been reading Captain Underpants.
My boys are finished with school and now it is time to do some chores! They clean up their messes and sweep. They have to do this before they get an hour to play video games. They play either Minecraft or Super Mario Brothers on our WiiU. We set a timer for this and almost every day it is a struggle to get them to quit playing. If I have to tell them to get off more than a few times and they don't listen to me they lose it for the next day. When they are finished playing they either go outside or stay inside to play.
Around 3-3:30 they ask to go see if their friends (who go to public school) can play. I tell them that we should take a walk with the dogs since it isn't raining! We get the dogs ready and head on out. On our walk, they stop at their friends' houses and ask if they can play, but they have homework to do, so they continue on the walk with me.
I start working on dinner around 4:30 and the boys play. We eat between 5:30-6. After dinner I decide that we are going to do the Deep Space Sparkle (DSS) President's Day art project that I never got around to! I read to them two books about Abe Lincoln and then we do the project. I'm pleased with how they turned out, but my oldest is being grumpy and says that he doesn't like his artwork.
The boys now have time to play and I usually catch up on emails, social media, reading, learning to play the guitar, learning how to use my camera, or watching Gilmore Girls. The boys really like to bother each other and I think that I spend more time "yelling" at them to leave each other alone. At 7:30 I tell them to get ready for bed, but it takes them about an hour until they are finally ready for bed. Once they are ready I read to them and they go to bed. When their dad is home he is the one that reads to them before bedtime and that gives me some much needed alone time!
*On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday my boys have either Fencing or Parkour classes, so that changes those days up a little bit. If we have extra time we like to do science experiments, play board games, or free draw. Every day doesn't go smoothly and I've left out plenty of arguing and fighting from everyone in this day! 🙂

Some jokes are funny because they're true. Here are seven jokes that were funny because they weren't true, yet.
Joke: The Chris Rock Show (1997)
Reality: OJ Simpson's "If I Did It, Here's How It Happened" (2006)
In their first ever sketch, the writers of HBO's "The Chris Rock Show" really did predict that OJ would one day come clean and tell us with a wink how everything happened. Chris Rock's comedy was always fearless his guest for that premiere episode was Johnnie Cochran. There was a little bit of luck in how close Chris came to foretelling the future, but it wasn't magic. He just extrapolated OJ's smug attitude and thought, "Where is this heading, and how can we take it one step further?" Unfortunately, like so many writers on this list, they underestimated how far their subject would go.
Unfortunately, Pootie Tang has yet to come true.
Joke: Mr. Show's "Blowing Up The Moon" (1997)
Reality: Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American" (2001)
When "Mr. Show"s Bob Odenkirk and David Cross wanted to lampoon the aggressive American pride of country music in 1996, they wrote "Blew Moon," a patriotic music video by "C.S. Lewis, Jr." Lewis celebrates an absurd NASA plan to blow up our lunar neighbor by standing in front of the Stars and Stripes with a guitar and warning the celestial object, "You don't mess around with God's America." It was therefore surprising when, five years later, real-life country musician Toby Keith, in an equally pompous though far less ironic move, decided the best way to respond to our crucial post-9/11 international relations was by throwing on a Stetson hat and informing the Middle East, "We'll put a boot in your ass." Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" expresses a nationalistic desire to do to every country east of Turkey what "Blew Moon" wanted to do to a heavenly body. And while the Moon may seem the more foolish target, unlike the Middle East, it doesn't have Kalishnikovs and angry Muslims.
Joke: The Onion's "Fuck Everything We're Doing Five Blades" by the CEO of Gillette (February 2004)
Reality: The five-bladed Gillette Fusion (January 2006)
The Onion's classic "Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades" wasn't the first time someone predicted razors growing out of control. MAD Magazine did an article about a seventy-six bladed razor in 1979, and twenty years later MADtv produced a fake commercial for the relatively tame Mach 20. The Onion's article still feels the most prescient. They predicted not only the number of blades in Gilette's Fusion line of razors, but also the Lubrastrip ("Put another aloe strip on that fucker") and even the trimmer blade that rests on the back of the cartridge ("Make the blades so thin they're invisible. Put some on the handle. I don't care if they have to cram the fifth blade in perpendicular to the other four, just do it!"). Most importantly the humor doesn't come from an absurd number of blades, but from the nationwide pissing contest between Gillette and their competitors.
Joke: Donald Kaufman's script in Adaptation (2002)
Reality: The script for Identity (2003)
(SPOILER WARNING: Major plot points of Identity revealed below)
Of all movies in the "film within a film" sub-genre, 2002's "Adaptation" lives up to its self-referential premise best. Rather than poking fun at tired Hollywood stereotypes ("Actors are vain! Movie producers are greedy! Take that, showbiz!"), Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman's story of a neurotic screenwriter finds humor in the un-originality of movies today. Specifically with The 3, an achingly predictable script about a schizophrenic serial killer. But where audiences saw a clever critique of boring movies, Columbia Pictures saw its next paycheck: Identity, released a year later, is essentially The 3 with John Cusack thrown in. In the thriller's third act we learn the cops, the victims, and the killer all exist in a one person's mind. In addition to renforcing Adaptation's commentary on the lack of creativity in manstream films, Identity proposes the theory that the interior of the human mind looks like a motel, and our sub-concious is Ray Liotta.
Joke: The Simpsons "Last Exit to Springfield" (1993)
Reality: Batman & Robin (1997)
In that wondrous pre-political era when Arnold Schwarzenegger was content blowing shit up in front of a camera, you didn't have to be Nostradamus to predict the Conan the Barbarian star would continue making his signature awful puns. But, as always, The Simpsons took the Blue Ribbon for Schwarzenegger-based humor when the cartoon's Arnold doppleganger, Rainer Wolfcastle, punches his way through an ice-sculpture at an evil millionaire's soir

It's always wise to question your health plan if it denies coverage for your care or covers less than you expected. Improper denials or inadequate coverage appear all too common. The latest evidence comes after a report by the National Woman's Law Center finding that health plans had been refusing to cover all types of women's contraceptives in full in violation of the Affordable Care Act. Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services made clear that health plans must cover preventive care services in full.
Health plans cannot pick and choose among the preventive care contraceptive services they cover. They must cover the full range of FDA-approved contraceptive services. They must also cover well-woman visits at no charge to the patient.
The National Woman's Law Center surveyed 100 insurance companies in seven states and found that 15 health plans failed to cover all forms of FDA-approved birth control, including Cigna, Aetna and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. The Kaiser Family Foundation conducted a similar study of 20 insurers in five states and found, among other things, that some insurers do not cover birth control patches, four insurers did not cover the contraceptive implant Implanon, and one insurer did not cover the NuvaRing.
The Department of Health and Human Services clarified that the health plans must offer for free at least one of the 18 contraceptive drugs available, but they can cover the generic drug in full and charge a copay for the brand name drug. The ruling will take effect in January 2016.
For answers to a range of questions on the Affordable Care Act, visit the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight. And, remember, if your health plan denies coverage, fight back. Here's how.

It's time to play the knee replacement law of averages
George was having lunch by himself at the Mocha House a while ago. Beside his chair was his folded up walker. He was recovering from knee replacement surgery from just the week before, and was progressing very well. He had just come from physical therapy and could drive his own car.
A friend of his saw him sitting there and asked George if he could use some company. The friend asked why he had the walker. George said, "I thought that you knew I was going to have knee replacement surgery. I just got out of the hospital last week, and I'm getting along just fabulously."
"Who was your surgeon?" the friend asked. George told him. The friend replied, "Oh, you shouldn't have had him do your surgery, he's had a lot of instances where the knee replacement surgery has failed." Now, that's a confidence builder if there ever was one! Where did he get his information?
"Golly," George said, "maybe I should go right back and tell my surgeon to remove my knee replacement so that I can get another one from a better doctor. Who do you suggest?" No answer. As you can see, George was just dripping with sarcasm. Didn't the friend realize that, if he wanted to warn George about that particular surgeon that perhaps he should have told him that prior to the surgery? The friend knew that George was planning it. He could have asked George who his surgeon was then. After all, how do you suppose that made George feel?
George was eating (again) at the Saratoga recently, and was telling another friend about the fact that his surgeon had found that the problems and discomfort he was having with his left shoulder joint may require shoulder replacement surgery to alleviate that condition. George got the inevitable question. "Oh," this second friend said, "you shouldn't go to him. He has a reputation for not having successful shoulder replacement surgeries."
George said, "Well, I have had two very successful knee replacement surgeries, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. If I need that surgery on my shoulder, I certainly will have him do it. Unless, uh, who do you suggest?" End of conversation. No recommendation for another surgeon. On the other hand, George wasn't really soliciting suggestions.
George met up with a doctor friend and complained to him about the reactions he gets when he tells friends about his surgeries. His doctor friend said that it had a lot to do with German shepherds. Huh?
He told George this story:
There are many more instances of people being bitten by German shepherds than by pit bulls, even though the pit bull has a reputation for being quite a biter, and the German shepherd is known for being just a tad gentler. Why do you suppose?
The answer is that there are a lot more German shepherds than pit bulls — therefore, more German shepherd bites.
For any surgeon doing knee surgeries, the failure rate remains about constant — about one in 20. At least, that's what George understood his doctor friend to say.
If you have a surgeon (the pit bull) who does but one knee replacement surgery a year, it may take twenty years before he experiences a failure. A surgeon (the German shepherd) who may do several knee replacement surgeries a month will experience quite a few more knee replacement failures (more bites). You do the math.
George wonders what kind of story his doctor friend will come up with about shoulder surgeries. Maybe that there are a lot more instances of people being scratched by kitty cats than bobcats … Are you curious, George?

We welcomed Charlie Precourt back to the show to discuss SLS-Orion progress and milestones, human spaceflight, technology advancement, & much more. During our one segment 63 minute discussion, I first asked out guest about the Orbital ATK merger and business under the combined companies. We soon shifted to the SLS-Orion discussion which included information on the 5 segment solid rocket booster (SRB), tonnage to escape which our guest explained, possible missions, and opportunities that will become available as a result of having this heavy lift rocket available for missions that need the lift & high energy capacity of SLS. We talked about shorter travel times, larger payload mass & volume, plus higher energy transfer orbits using SLS as compared to an EELV. Charlies was asked about SRB safety for human spaceflight. Don't miss his comments on this issue. He talked at length about the benefits of marrying the SRB for lift out of a gravity well to liquids for propulsion once in space. Our guest provided statistics on SRB launches and uses to support what he was telling us. Charlie also talked about his Space Shuttle flight experience and the Shuttle's SME, especially when there was an SME problem on one of his shuttle flights. We talked about going BLEO and he introduced us to the concept of One Space. As a result of listener questions, our guest talked about SLS costs, its design for multiple destinations and missions, and the launch "sweet spot" that it would fill. BJohn asked if there were uses for an SRB or solid rocket motor in space. Charlie said for liftoff from a gravity well, yes, but otherwise the SPI for a solid was likely too low for in-space propulsion. I asked our guest about Orbital ATK meeting the SLS -Orion milestones and upcoming flight testing. Jeff from Tucson called in about the use of modern technology including light weight epoxy material for SRBs & other spaceflight hardware. Near the end of the program, I asked Charlie about the justification for HSF to see what he had to say about it. Don't miss his reply. We then talked about technology challenges in going to Mars, choices that were made to do the shuttle and ISS over deep space missions, and destinations that were still Earth dependent as compared to those being Earth independent such as Mars. Jack emailed in a question based on a show earlier in the week where the guest said that for putting SPS infrastructure in space, SLS was too sophisticated. What was needed was big rockets that had a 2% failure rate as that rocket would be lots cheaper than an SLS. Charlie did not specifically comment on SPS infrastructure but did take issue with the notion that it would be fine to have a rocket with a high failure rate to make it cheaper than something like SLS. Listen to how he explained this. Tell us what you think on TSS blog. As the show was about to end, a listener ask Charlie, based on his F15, Air Force, and test pilot experience, what he thought of the new F35 Joint Strike Fighter and the shortcomings of the new fighter that are reported in the press. Charlie had interesting comments about this so don't miss them.

This is how it works:
We must first determine the current and fair market value of your property. This number is derived from the most recent comparable sales in your neighborhood. Of course price adjustments are necessary when a property is new construction or has been remodeled, has views or other unique features.
The process of valuation of a property is quite standard amongst real estate professionals. That being the case, the value of a property which is analyzed by different realtors should be very similar. As a result, you may also choose to get a second or third opinion from other agents, brokers or an appraiser.
Once we agree on all terms, we submit our offer along with all the disclosures required by law. If you choose to accept, we will then open escrow but there will be no public record of the transaction until the deal is closed. If you choose not to accept our offer, we will gladly market your property for sale.
To learn more about how we promote a sale, please visit our "Marketing Strategy" page.
- This offer applies to homes that are not currently on the MLS or listed with another broker.

I am in the process of drawing up plans for my new kitchen cabinets. This will be my first time building cabinets and I have a few questions. After checking out my local sheet goods supplier I noticed there seems to be an endless number of options for case material. I am leaning towards thermoplastic melamine with a maple veneer on both sides right now because it would save me a lot of finishing time. However I am concerned with what kind of fasteners I should use to assemble the cases. I have never worked with a material like this before and do not know if I need some kind of special screw. If anyone has any experience in this I would appreciate the feedback, also if anyone would recommend any other material for case parts I am open to suggestions and would like to hear about any pros and cons you have experienced.

The entrants and participants in stocks investments are tormented in their stance -whether they should be an Investor or a Trader.
Our stand, with goal of better Portfolio Management is- we should be mix of both, i.e. an 'Inv-ader'. An 'Inv-ader'™ would be both an Investor as well as a Trader. He'd be investing 80% to 90% of his investable money for LT investing and keeping 10% to 20% of money for trading.
We wish to be very specific that stocks chosen for trading must be fundamentally sound (i.e. these stocks should be eligible for LT investing too); however, they are ripe for big momentum movement.
When it comes to stocks-investments, the advantage of being an 'Inv-ader'™ over being just an Investor is that an 'Inv-ader'™ can take advantage from short-term opportunities that are so often present in stocks markets. While Advantage of being an 'Inv-ader'™ over being just a trader is that an 'Inv-ader'™ isn't taking too much of risk by putting 100% of its capital in trading, thereby curtailing its risk.
In summary, an Inv-ader™ is very well positioned to earn an in excess risk adjusted returns.
We at DV Stocks make the complex investments simple to understand for people with limited exposure to investments or information of investments. With decades of professional expertise in stocks investments and portfolio management, we're capable of providing steady returns and consistent performance in various market conditions; the company is one of the most sought after portfolio management and stock investment companies in Delhi as well as investment companies in Mumbai.

Microsatellite Instability (MSI) shows a high mutational phenotype in cells that are deficient in one or more mismatch repair proteins¹. MSI is present in many different cancer types, but is most common in colorectal cancer (10-15%), gastric cancer (10-20%), and endometrial cancer (20-30%)¹,². Current MSI testing methods rely on manual, lengthy and complex procedures, involving amongst others obtaining and testing a second reference sample.
The Idylla™ MSI Assay (RUO) performs the detection of microsatellite instability directly from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) human cancer tissue sections with less than 2 minutes of hands-on time. The Idylla™ MSI Assay (RUO), performed on the Biocartis Idylla™ system, utilizes a PCR reaction followed by high-resolution melting curve analysis. The Idylla™ MSI Assay directly liberates DNA from FFPE tissue for subsequent analysis. Fully automated software interpretation and reporting is also integrated, providing a result in approximately 150 minutes.
This sample-to-result assay is intended for the qualitative detection of mutations in 7 novel MSI loci (ACVR2A, BTBD7, DIDO1, MRE11, RYR3, SEC31A, and SULF2). Additionally, since the Idylla™ MSI biomarkers are tumor specific, there is no normal tissue required for analysis and MSI status determination.
Idylla™ MSI Assay Product Highlights
• Fast and reliable information on MSI status3,4,5
• Fully-automated detection of MSI status via 7 novel MSI loci
• Directly from a single slice of FFPE tissue – no normal tissue required for comparison
• 150 minutes total turn-around time with less than 2 minutes hands-on time
• >95% concordance in a multi-center concordance analysis with standard methods3,4,5
• Significantly lower failure rate compared to standard methods3,4,5
• MSI-specific pan-tumor biomarkers independent of ethnicities3,4,5
• Unbiased result reporting

Cultural understanding and its dynamics are discovered through one's identification and a person's involvement into knowing the different cultural backgrounds of people all around the world. Identification plays a major role in a person's life the same as through the usage of languages but along with that it is important for a person to share his/her personal views with someone carrying the identification of another culture. When an Arabian knows to converse in Greek, it is easier for the former to institute himself on the base of Greek culture as language is considered to be the important mode of communication and by fostering this mode one evolves them into a greater understanding about the cultural awareness resulting in the birth of Global Citizenship.
If a person has the capability to speak in different languages, he or she will easily fit into a country's soul. However, the cultural prospects have not been restricted within the countries. It could be found within different institutions around the world, including schools, colleges, working places and communities. The atmosphere of the institutions plays a vital role in the fusion of different cultures through verbal communications leading to the understanding of each other in a wider manner. So it is important to know how the multilingual ability is helping to foster cultural assimilation and how language is important to bring unity within the people.
Does speaking a language only restricted to communication? The importance of Language is deeply rooted into the sentiments of a particular culture. Language is not only meant for communication, but language is something through which one expresses emotions and sentimental values.
What is the ability of a multilingual person? When a person knows more languages it is easier for him to mingle with other people from different cultural background and understand the cultural importance of the latter. A multilingual person can override all the barriers of differences amongst the people and will fit through to solve the erstwhile contradictions within the ethnic groups.
What are the advantages behind speaking many languages? Various other important aspects a language can develop other than communication are the kinship development, psychological understanding, over looking ideological differences, making a person a realist, leading to the cooperation among the nations through the initiation taken by the multilingual people, improving knowledge in the field of culture, experiences and at last attaining Global Citizenship Recognition.
Let's take an example of how India in this context is helpful in setting up multilingualism? To take the example of India in this context, the country has 29 states dominated by different ethnic groups carrying multi-cultural backgrounds. Their Languages mark their identification besides their own nationality. The twenty-nine states in India carry their own respective personalities through their respective ways of speaking style and the same describes their own uniqueness as a whole. But say when a person from the state of West Bengal starts to reside in another state of India like Tamil Nadu, it really becomes a great challenge for the former to cope up with the new culture. The language, the culture, etc. starts to contradict the personalities of a Bengali. But as soon as the Bengali understands the local language Tamil, it becomes easier for the former to relate to the culture of the new state. Language is the first step towards understanding of a new culture and that makes all the differences in the future.
Secondly when we take up the principle of how India and its institutions encourage the fusion of cultures – The mixture of the different ethnic group is very much relevant in the cosmopolitan States or the Union Territories like Delhi. The cultural fusion is evident in those places and the same also gives birth to the people knowing languages of different states. As a result the rise of kinship take place. Similarly in United States, Great Britain, Indians mix up with the people of other origin trying to understand their cultural importance through the ability to speak other languages. Likewise when the people from abroad come and start residing in India for a longer period, they start to develop the lingual skills of that particular state of India where they reside. Hence, it is easier for the foreigners to learn a new language with great excitement and the same would lead them to decipher the deeper meaning of a new culture and sentiments of the people.
In academic institutions the multilingual ability plays an important role in diffusing different social structures. In educational institutions like Madras University located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, where it is necessary for the foreign students to understand the culture through bonding with the Indians. It is true that it is always not necessary to learn a language of a particular country, the interest of a person is very much necessary in this context of gaining knowledge of other culture other than one's own. For example, The French students taking part in the festivals organized by the Tamil people from where they could learn the culture and language widely.
A multilingual person helps to bring the change in the pattern of the social structure in a society – The ability of a multilingual person is to bring a transformation in the mindset of people. A Realist having the multilingual characteristic is able to understand the drawbacks of any cultural stigma, he can well communicate with the people belonging to a different culture and make them understand the do's and don'ts of their culture. Knowing different foreign languages at the same time would enable the person to communicate or to understand the ongoing trends. The people having the most wanderlust attitude involved themselves learning different languages and they can easily utilize the best out of it. Language is a philosophy, it is also a beautiful and a unique way to know oneself and one can easily draw comparisons between their own lifestyle and the lifestyle of others.
How Globalization and Migration bring forth a new era of understanding each other- Globalization after the era of decolonization has brought the end of restrictions. It has encouraged people of different nations to move forward in the form of immigration and emigration. The enlightenment period in the mask of New World Order System has brought forth the unity and the cultural understanding within the people. Globalization not only highlighted the death of the ideological warfare between the superpowers, but it also set forth the end of the ideological superstitions that people have in their mind for such a long time. With migration, people came in contact with each other in a more prominent manner with the practice of languages in order to get convinced of each other.
It is really interesting to know that it is the lingualism that divides people but again it is the same that unites the people worldwide. A person knowing different languages automatically becomes a global citizen and they have the ability to cut down the differences within the different ethnic groups or people of different nations. This also breaks the boundaries and makes people united. In this age it is has a vital ingredient to learn new languages not only for professional purposes but also for 'Psychological Understanding'. Sharing views and ideas also play an important part in the globalization and it can only happen through connections, built through commonality. Language is a mighty tool, it a philosopher yet a realist bringing people together towards the end of the day.

Former Portugal playmaker Paulo Sousa won't be taking charge of the New York Red Bulls.
The 42-year-old Sousa had been close to filling the head coach's position after holding talks with the team.
But Sousa told The Associated Press on Thursday ``we didn't reach a final agreement. This sometimes happens in football and we need to turn a page and focus on the future.''
The Red Bulls have been searching for a head coach since deciding in November not to renew Hans Backe's contract after three seasons.
Sousa, who has managed British clubs Queens Park Rangers, Swansea and Leicester, left his job at Hungarian club Videoton this month, citing family reasons after winning three trophies within two years.

|Changes in Skeletal Muscle Mass Assessed by Anthropometric Equations after Resistance Training.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22791616 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The aim of this study was to analyze the validity of anthropometric equations to identify changes in skeletal muscle mass (SMM) after resistance training (RT). Anthropometric and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements were obtained at baseline and after RT in 15 trained Caucasian college men. Participants performed RT over 8 weeks, consisting of 8-9 exercises of 4 sets with 12/10/8/6 maximal repetitions and 1-2 min interval between sets. The training loads were gradually increased according to gains in muscular strength. 4 anthropometric equations were used for estimation of SMM: EQ1 (SMM, g=height×[0.0553×corrected thigh girth2 + 0.0987×forearm girth2 + 0.0331×corrected calf girth2] - 2445), EQ2 (SMM, g=height×[0.031×medial thigh girth2 + 0.064×corrected calf girth2 + 0.089×corrected arm girth2] - 3006), EQ3 (SMM, kg=height×[0.00744×corrected arm girth2 + 0.00088×corrected thigh girth2 + 0.00441×corrected calf girth2] + 2.4×gender - 0.048×age + race + 7.8) and EQ4 (SMM, kg=0.244×weight + 7.8×height + 6.6×gender - 0.098×age + race - 3.3). EQ1 and EQ2 overestimated the SMM (41.3% and 19.9%, respectively; P<0.05) while EQ3 and EQ4 were similar (P>0.05) to DXA at baseline. Although all equations and DXA revealed a significant increase in SMM after RT, changes were overestimated by EQ1 and EQ2 (P<0.05), but not by EQ3 and EQ4 (P>0.05). In addition, changes in SMM over time between EQ4 and DXA were significantly correlated (r=0.62; P<0.01). Thus, changes in SMM that occur after RT can be detected by EQ4 in trained young men.

Rider French left frustrated at Burghley Horse Trials
It was a case of what might have been for Piggy French despite delivering a strong performance in the cross-country at the 2018 Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials.
French and horse Vanir Kamira placed third in the overall standings after an entertaining day of equine cross-country action at Burghley House, near Stamford.
The 38-year-old, based near Maidwell in Northamptonshire, was runner-up at the prestigious four-star event last year and once again in contention for the title.
But while she showered her 13-year-old Irish Sport Horse mare with praise, French said she couldn't help but feel the pairing left some time out on the course.
"It was slightly frustrating – when she finished as well as she did, I wasn't far from my minute markers, I think I was pretty much on them actually, so she finished so full of running," she said.
"But you do what you've got underneath you and it's proving quite hard to get the time, but there's still some really good combinations to come and it will be gettable.
"But she was great, wasn't she? It's hard work out there, it's a big track, it rides tough but she's fab and she's finished well. Fingers crossed she's alright.
"The dressage wasn't quite what we wanted but she's not a dressage horse. It's hard to get her as brilliant as she can be. It's such a fine line with her.
"We can probably count on one hand all year when we have that really great dressage performance and be in the top few after the dressage."
Family-friendly Burghley is one of two UK-based four-star events and one of only six in the world, with 160,000 people and the best equestrians on the planet descending on Stamford for the week's action.
Now, with the dressage and cross-country concluded, Sunday's final day of action will see the riders tackle the show jumping trials.
And having recovered from a disappointing dressage score to jump up the leader board, French believes it is now all to play for going into the competition's climax.
"I don't think you dare to think it could be your year," she said. "I think you have to just take each day as it comes, and I knew coming here I have a Burghley horse.
"It's nice to have that confidence that she can do it, but it's another year, it's another day and such a fine line between it being right and not being good enough.
"She didn't blow up, she didn't make any big mistakes. She could have been a bit smoother for those few more marks to kick in, but I don't know, we take each bit as it comes and it's another day tomorrow.
"She was pretty there for me today, the only thing is going uphill sometimes, she definitely dropped the bridle and just found a way up them.
"And going to the Trout Hatchery, it's a steady climb there and she dropped the bridle there, too. It's unlike her, but she settled into it.
"You have to keep letting them fill their lungs once they've got the hills done and she always picked up afterwards."
The multi-award-winning Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials from August 30 – September 2 has been established as a major international equestrian and social event in the Autumn Sporting Calendar for over 50 years. For more information visit burghley-horse.co.uk

However, did you know that anger is a validated emotion from God? If you've always been under the assumption that your anger is wrong, I'd like to invite you to take a second look.
Anger can spur us to good works
Anger in and of itself is not wrong - even God experiences anger. The Bible is full of instances where the children of Israel received justly due punishment for sin due to God's righteous indignation.
Anger can propel us to act for justice, protect the innocent, and fight for equal rights. Anger over losing a child as a result of a drunk driver spurred one mom to found MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers), and anger over the murder of innocent unborn children triggered the Right to Life movement.
Anger over the injustice of child abuse impelled me to begin seeking ways to help moms deal positively with their anger.
Anger was given to us by God to act in positive ways against wrongfulness.
When you are angry at your children because of their disobedience or unfair treatment towards siblings, that is validated. God wants you to use your anger to set things right.
So yes. Correct your children, right the wrongs, do not put up with bad behavior!
However - anger turned to wrath is what gets us into trouble! Erupting all over the family, screaming, yelling, hurting with words, or even worse, harming your children, is wrong.
Anger must be Spirit-controlled
This is where the fruit of the Spirit - self control - comes into play. And in order to develop the fruits of the Spirit, we must be walking in the Spirit and abiding with Christ.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control... If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23, 25 (ESV)
Take time to abide today. Read Scripture, pray, and maintain an attitude of prayer. Pray for discernment when your anger is sparked due to the wrongful behavior of your children. Post Scripture throughout your home where you'll see the reminders often (window sills, bathrooms mirrors, etc.). Even if you only have a few minutes to meet with the Lord, it is still very necessary and goes a long way toward building positive behavioral habits.
Anger shows our priorities
What we make time for shows our priorities. Do you have time for Facebook? Instagram? Exercise? Eating? Make time for God in your life and you will experience real, meaningful changes!
We must fight sinful behavior with our most valuable weapon - God's Word and prayer.
Here is a verse for your window sill (and your memory)!
Rash language cuts and maims, but there is healing in the words of the wise. Proverbs 12:18
The next time your anger is sparked, use it to craft wise words of healing and correction. God will help you!

The book is full of key Biblical strategies to help you parent gracefully and learn the Biblical approach to anger.
