Willie Blue
Faces of Prostate Cancer — Willie Blue
Willie Blue was good about getting regular checkups, including PSA tests starting at age 50. His good habits paid off -- Willie's prostate cancer was diagnosed in time to consider several treatment options. Talking through the details with his wife and his doctors eventually led him back to his first instinct to "just get rid of it." Willie had a nerve-sparing prostatectomy in October 2006, an advanced procedure in which one or both nerve bundles located next to the prostate are carefully preserved. Since the surgery Willie's PSA levels have remained undetectable, but his physical recovery is plain as day.
"The doctor couldn't believe how well it went for me," says Willie. "I'm back to lifting weights, jogging, running half-marathons and playing golf -- all without problems or pain."

Angell Street: Sketch Tuesday 3-24-09
A sketch from real life, a spot on Angell Street here in Providence. And yes, Angell Street is spelled correctly. This is as far as I got before I decided it was too cold to sketch outside. Not too exciting, but I think it's good practice all the same. Angell St., like much of Providence is on a hill. Hence the angling.
This is week number 5 in the New Sketch Tuesday project. Upload your sketches to your blog, Flickr, or wherever you post your work online. Any Etsy illustrators who use Flickr I would encourage to tag & add their sketches to the Etsy Illustration Flickr pool!
If you're on Etsy, check out the New Sketch Tuesday thread for today and add a link to your sketch.

Newspapers flip over pocket size camcorder
by Kevin Slimp, February 2008 Published:
From a variety of available colors, I chose the orange and white version, in honor of my beloved Tennessee Vols. After carrying the Flip Ultra in my pocket for the past two weeks, I've become quite attached to the addictive device. Listing for $179 (I found several online vendors selling the Ultra for $149), it is about the size of a pack of cigarettes.
The 2 GB version, which I purchased, requires no tapes or additional memory cards to shoot up to 60 minutes of TV-quality video. And now for my favorite part: the Flip is equipped with a convenient USB arm that plugs directly into your computer, Mac or PC.
The files are saved in AVI format, which easily opens in QuickTime thanks to the provided software. I was able to download the files to my computer and import them into iMovie in a matter of seconds.
The Flip Ultra runs on two AA batteries and is ready to use out of the box. I dispensed of the manual and was shooting videos within seconds. System requirements (to download and edit the videos) are Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later or Pentium 4, 2.0 GHz or faster. That's it. Just about any computer purchased in the past two years should handle the Flip Ultra just fine.
For more information and to see videos recorded on Flip, visit www.theflip.com.

I like the Flip recorder, too. Just thought I'd mention that I had to download a firmware update from the manufacturer site to solve downloading issues. Works perfectly now.

Yesterday I booked a vacation to Hawaii for myself, Kitty, Scritchwuff, Dex Fox, and Al Bear! I did a cost estimate by myself over the weekend based on an itinerary worked up by a travel agent at AAA who handled our Panama cruise, and my costs were right in line with hers, only she was able to get us into nicer hotels for the same price. It's a pain in the ass to plan a trip for 5 people because hotels are douches and can't confirm 3 queen beds or a king and 2 queens. It's the same shit I had to deal with in Vegas last year where 4 people might end up in a single king bed because they couldn't guarantee 2 queens (unless you ponied up more money). But I worked out the details with the travel agent and we're all set to go. We'll be visiting 3 islands over 2 weeks. I might even bring Squawky Parrot (a cheap costume shop suit) and do a little suiting.

System leadership – part two
In part one of system leadership we previously covered what system leadership is within the context of the present NHS landscape and what qualities such a leader needs to embody and embolden across the health economies they lead.
Attain continues to partner with several health and care systems and economies across England, supporting leaders and their organisations to align, develop and implement new care models and accountability frameworks that better serve populations. There has been a lot of press on NHS leadership, mergers and failing organisations – Attain has coached and supported system leaders to surmount the obstacles, so how can a system leader navigate this environment to enable successful outcomes for the people they serve and what barriers need to be overcome to do so effectively?
Part two
With ongoing pressures on meeting targets and financial controls, it may feel like moving to the future NHS models of care is a series of sprinting events. Attain is working with leaders and executives across systems to achieve these goals in a step-by-step manner or phased approach, similar to the mindset of a marathon or steeplechase runner as opposed to a sprinter. System leaders need to take stock and ownership of their transformation timeline as best they can and how they can implement the right change for their region for the long haul. Demanding large transformative changes are required now, which will have considerable complexities and barriers – delay is not an option.
Barriers to change
It is a necessity in all industries for organisations and businesses to be able to change in response to market needs or pressures. There are four common barriers to implementing change effectively:
- Lack of consensus
- Lack of planning
- Inadequate communication
- People resistance – patients, public and staff
A system leader has a central part to play in overcoming these barriers across the whole system. In order to be successful, the leader will need to understand where the underlying reasons for the barriers lie within the following six categories (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence 2007):
- Awareness and knowledge
- Motivation
- Acceptance and beliefs
- Skills
- Practicalities
- External – beyond control
From our experience, the first three categories above are often where leaders need to prioritise their attention on in order to lead system change effectively and at both pace and scale. Attain has supported and enabled leaders to improve on these from the perspectives of both partnership and system understanding and development. We recommend that leaders follow our three steps below to help them overcome these barriers and develop the right working approach for the system:
Step 1 – Leave the ego at the door
Easier said than done. Many readers will know that such an approach is obvious in order to be a good leader and some will believe they do this too good effect. So first, let us better understand what is meant by the term 'ego'. A quick online search reveals the definition of ego as "a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance" (Oxford English Dictionary). Read any management textbook or leadership course information and it will be stated that an individual's focus on their self or own ideas can become detrimental to creating positive change or developing cohesive action across a wider group. In the context of system leadership, Step 1 not only refers to the individual leaving their ego behind (a must for any leader in system change) but also to the organisation leaving its sense of identity and relative importance.
Consider the ego from the other side of the coin: the opposite of the ego could be described as a 'unified self' (Lattimer, 2012). The contrast between the characteristics of the unified self to that of the ego is that the unified self acknowledges and respects the sameness of ourselves and is more concerned for the collective 'win/win' outcome. This mindset is in alignment to how we at Attain guide leaders of organisations towards system change successfully. Achieving this is often difficult and contentious when leaders come to the table with varying organisational priorities and needs – a system leader must think and focus on the collective benefit that serves their population.
Similarly, when examining moving away from the 'ego'-led approach, it is important to note the different leadership mentality types and which is more suited to the new environment of system leadership. Simon Western has identified the four different types of leaders (Leadership: A Critical Text, 2008) that have evolved over time:
- Controller: This style of leadership focuses on improving efficiency and control to increase output. Staff are treated in a functional way as replaceable "cogs in the wheel" of the machine. Although an early 20th century form of established leadership, we have seen this style reappear in the public sector, due to a focus on top-down and target-driven culture to achieve productivity measures.
- Therapist: These types of leaders are focused on increasing motivation and commitment in staff to achieve goals and the vision of the organisation. Usually, this approach is more concerned with individuals rather than groups or the collective.
- Messiah: Such leaders usually appear attractive when there is huge transformational need with the aim of creating strong and dynamic cultures. These prophetic leaders manage to create entrepreneurial and dynamic but rather conformist cultures. Longer-term results can create fundamentalist styles endemic to the organisational cultures that resist critical reflection and difference.
- Eco-leader: This leader is more concerned with the collective and holistic benefit to enable an interconnected whole system, where central control is out-dated. The aim is to create distributed leadership at local levels, inspiring leadership and building networks that are responsive and adaptive to change. Nurturing strong networks and building partnerships and collaborative relationships are vital to their success.
Evolving into an eco-leadership style will naturally require the leader and its organisation to shed its ego and branch out into a formation of leadership frameworks (see Step 3).
Step 2 – Bridge gaps in understanding between organisations
With eco-leaders at the helm of a system, there will undoubtedly need to be better comprehension of each organisations' position, needs and priorities in the context of what the population needs are and will be in the future. However, compared to developing a partnership for transactional purposes alone, creating this foundation of a common understanding should go deeper and requires appreciation of cultures, working styles, ethics and opportunities to contribute to system development.
Many current partnerships are based on a formal collaborative arrangement with a defined level of integration as opposed to an informal arrangement of working together with embedded common goals and outcomes. This is due to the complexity and types of issues and problems across health and care sectors with central regulation that requires a well organised approach and structure around working arrangements. In acknowledging this focus, it's important to note the following three points (Victorian Council of Social Services, Australia 2009):
- Relationships are more important than structures;
- Participation, representation and engagement are essential; and
- Partnership development requires time.
As one would expect, leadership style is critical in influencing the effectiveness of all partnerships. To lead a successful system requires specific skills that although similar to the attributes for a leader in an organisation, require more nimbleness and fortitude. Therefore, it is essential that there is a clear path carved out to align system thinking and bridge any gaps in culture and performance to help weave an intertwined future that is sustainable, resilient and future fit. Attain is currently helping executive leaders to define this path in our experience working on STPs, Vanguards, system turnaround and in development of other integrated models of care.
Step 3 – Move towards a distributed leadership framework
Leadership formation across the system and within each organisation is imperative. As previously stated, this style of leadership is different than at an individual organisational level – it requires openness, flexibility in thought and adaptability in style. System leaders will need an understanding of what it takes to enable successful transformation at all levels of each organisation and strong communication and engagement skills.
From Attain's strong track record in developing such frameworks, we recommend that underpinning this will need to be defined governance to support a distributed leadership framework and a shared vision with common outcomes and goals, the principles of which can be developed during Step 2 above. The framework of leadership should be co-designed with key leaders and stakeholders across the system that not only focuses on the interconnectedness between but also within each organisation. Getting in formation for system leadership will take time but must be set out as part of a comprehensive multi-year phased transformation programme.
Once these three steps have been taken to overcome barriers and forge the path to a 'one system' approach, a system leader will be in a stronger position to deliver the shared vision and achieve desired outcomes improvement and quality care to its population. Attain has and continues to work with and support leaders to shape their system-wide transformation programmes, help drive momentum for change and implement new models of care. We have assisted organisations and systems to do so by ensuring alignment with the shared vision and values of their system. Having the right eco-leaders across the distributive leadership framework that support and feed into creating the right strategic foundations for the system, will not only empower the people you serve and employ, but also enhance the system's sense of a 'unified self'.
We shall conclude this series on system leadership in part three, where our discussion focuses on how Attain guides the development of a distributive leadership culture throughout the health and care system and not solely at the executive level.

Mastery ~ George Leonard
"We fail to realize that mastery is not about perfection. It's about a process. A journey. The master is the one who stays on the path day after day, year after year. The master is the one who is willing to try and fail, and try again for as long as he or she lives."
Excerpt from Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment by George Leonard
The Kempo Puzzle
A few nights ago in class we were learning an American Kempo technique called Crushing Hammer, when I had a little grasshopper moment: "Wow, it's like puzzle pieces."
Basic karate strikes and kicks are a creative collection of puzzle pieces, custom tailored to fit the human body. They work together in infinite combinations, forming kempos and katas.
The leopard's paw fits perfectly into either the throat or armpit. The hammerfist can be used vertically on the bridge of the nose, or circled around horizontally to strike the ribs or kidneys. A roundhouse kick can be used to strike the ribs or head, or it can loop around and travel downward to buckle the back of a knee.
Add some targeting and power, and a kempo is formed. Combine several kempos, sprinkle in some strategy, timing and flow, and a kata is born. — Patty

As the golf world focuses on one of its biggest competitions next weekend, companies are scrambling to get a bounce from this year's Ryder Cup. Many of the best golfers will be congregating a stone's throw from my house at the Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., and amateur golfers will be drooling to emulate their long-driving heroes.
The Ryder Cup is a U.S. vs. The World competition with some of golf's biggest names. Nike
I wear many of Ashworth's golf shirts, and apparently other golfers and business casual dressers did the same in the company's third quarter. Ashworth's sales increased 13% in the period on a similar increase in domestic revenue and an 11% gain in international revenues. However, Ashworth's earnings of $0.17 per share (before a one-time charge to settle a 1999 class action lawsuit) was a cent below the analysts' consensus estimate.
The company recently made a key acquisition of Gekko Brands, a headwear and apparel marketer with licenses to more than 1,000 colleges and universities, the PGA tour, resorts, entertainment complexes, and NASCAR. The purchase expanded Ashworth's channels of distribution twofold, elevating it to a more solid global multibrand, multichannel business.
As a result of the Gekko acquisition, Ashworth raised its outlook for the remainder of the year. Net revenues are expected to increase 35% to 45% in the fourth quarter to a range of $43.7 million to $46.9 million ($41.2 million was the consensus estimate). Earnings are projected at $0.10 to $0.14 per share (previously $0.10 per share). Full-year numbers have also been upgraded: 13% to 15% revenue growth ($169 million to $172 million) and $0.56 to $0.60 earnings per share (after the $0.13 per-share, after-tax lawsuit charge). Looking ahead, Ashworth sees 2005 revenues of $207 million to $215 million and earnings of $0.76 to $0.82 per share.
This is all good news for a company that has been in need of a boost for its sound but limited product line. The Ashworth shares are trading at 11 times the $0.79 per-share average estimate for 2005, which is in the ballpark relative to its expected earnings growth rate. Although the company has taken on some debt with the Gekko acquisition, it appears that the more diverse product line will make Ashworth a more attractive investment.

I've had a pretty rubbish week this week. I feel absolutely exhausted. Plus the weather here has been cold and damp which doesn't help. So I was looking through some photos of our summer holiday and found one that made me feel a little better and I wanted to share it with you. Looking at it, I felt like I was right there in the warmth! This was taken on a beach in Portugal and it was HOT!!!
If you're feeling a bit under the weather then I hope this makes you feel better.
And I thought I would throw this fabulous beach photo in for the hell of it! I have this as my screensaver and it helps me to chill! Back to normal nail swatching tomorrow ; )

I realize that I am not the only one who was transitioned from a full-time worker to a stay at home parent. To be honest, before I was a mother, if anyone ever asked me if I wanted to be a stay at home parent, I probably would have said "no way in hell". Some days I still feel like that.
I was in the highest position that I could get to in my department at my previous job. After all, I was there for 9 years. I was one of the top people that would always have the answer. I knew this job backward, forward, and with my eyes closed.
Then I got pregnant. The idea of only having 6 weeks with my brand new baby was wearing on me (and my husband) very heavily. The closer I got to having the baby, the more time I decided I was going to take off. My job allowed you to take 1 year off with only 6 weeks paid. My initial plan was to take 6 months off and revisit the idea of daycare. 6 months came and went but we still weren't comfortable sending our precious, brand new daughter to be taken care of by some stranger.
The amount of daycare horror stories you actually hear about were enough to make up our minds. I would become a full-time stay at home parent. We made the decision that we will again, revisit the idea of daycare, when our daughter is old enough to tell us what is going on.
With that being said, here I am. Someone who was validated daily by the needs of a company and coworkers, now left feeling sometimes inadequate, wondering if I'm doing it all right. Am I doing enough? Does my husband still see me as the independent woman I once was? Did I make the right decision for me?
I take my daughter to 2 free classes a week for socialization and learning. We read at least 30 minutes every day. We do flash cards and coloring, go on outings (Target, park, play dates)… I am never caught up on laundry and I don't always get to clean, but my daughter's and husband's needs stay met. I'd say I am staying afloat.
I am 100% positive that I do not want my baby being raised by someone else. I love being with her every day, teaching her, watching her develop and grow. I love taking care of my husband. I know I made the right decision in that aspect. Even if that leaves me wondering about my own worth.

@Ladster. Yeah ok I agree with you, let others answer they have 13 days left, I cba to read fatalisslayers post and you said it's good so whatever
Use your strongest great sword and best armour that has physical and fire defence, make sure that it has at least green sharpness. You will need to bring 10 potions, 10 mega potions- honey (you can get it from the area that the ledge in zone 9 forest and hills leads to) and potion, 20 honey, 10 herbs, 10 Bluemushrooms, combine these to make potions and then with the honey to make mega potions. Bring combo books 1-3 10 antidotes, 10 paint balls, 10 well done steaks, 10 whetstones. When you get to base camp take ONE RATION as it is your firsy attempt it is likely that you will die. Run to zone 3 where he will be walking past the entrance to zone 4, directly at you. Hit him with a paint ball draw your weapon and BLOCK. he will usually scream and charge you so make sure you block both. Leave him alone except when he stands there looking for you, that will give you some time to get a few combos in on him. Also, when he flies up into the sky RUN TO AND STAY underneath his shadow and attack as you will hit him when he comes down. If you do not go under hi shadow you are likely to be poisoned of get hit by a fireball. When he does fireballs attack his tail until it comes off and then attack his head when he does fireballs. When rathalos flies around but does not leave the zone sharpen your weapon with your whetstones and heal up. Combine what you need to make more healing items and wait to attck. If he flies into zone 9 DO NOT FOLLOW HIM, the camera angle will mess up your chances of killing him. When he starts limping go straight to zone 5 and kill all the vprey there as they will be very annoying when you want to kill him or dodge his attacks and they keep hitting you to prevent you from moving. Then repeat the fireball stratergy and he will eventually die. DO NOT FORGET TO CARVE.

"Timothy O'Sullivan: The King Survey Photographs" is the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art's fourth show in a decade to explore aspects of the country's westward expansion.
But unlike the mostly painted romantic views of the topic provided by exhibits of work by Alfred Jacob Miller, "The Age of Steam" and George Catlin, O'Sullivan stuck to the facts.
And that's what he was hired to do when he joined the U.S. Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel, known as the King Survey, after its leader, geologist Clarence King.
By 1867 when the survey began, O'Sullivan was a known quantity in the photographic world, having established his reputation as a Civil War photographer under Matthew Brady.
The survey's mission was scientific: to document the topology and resources within a swath of the West from California to Colorado — 100 miles wide and 800 miles long — which included the path of the transcontinental railroad.
Despite assorted misadventures, including a bout of malaria and encounters with rattlesnakes, the team's work lasted five years, from 1867 to 1872. Topographers mapped the land; zoologists, botanists and geologists collected specimens of minerals, flora and fauna. O'Sullivan's contribution was a body of 450 photographs.
The Nelson exhibit features 60 of his black-and-white pictures in a quietly fascinating display.
The show — and a major accompanying book — represent a labor of love for senior curator of photography Keith Davis, who has studied and admired O'Sullivan's work for 40 years.
"There's a stripped-down sensibility, a bluntness, a clean, pristine perception," Davis said recently at the show. "He's documenting specific things. They're stark and minimal. The work doesn't conform to 19th-century picturesque standards; it's not chamber of commerce.
"This would not entice anyone to move out there," he said, standing before a view of scrubby land, in which the photographer's horse-drawn wagon appears in the distance.
Still, as Davis notes in the catalog, "There was never any question that the survey's ultimate aim lay in determining the region's potential for habitation and exploitation."
Science, too, served the cause of Manifest Destiny, yet as Davis notes, O'Sullivan's photographs carry "no sense of triumphalism."
The exhibit follows O'Sullivan's four seasons with the survey and his changes in subject and approach.
One of the first images, an 1867 shot of the Central Pacific Railroad's Long Ravine Bridge, reflects the key importance of the railroad to the survey's mission.
"Sand Dunes, Carson Desert, Nevada," includes the photographer's wagon and his footprints, left when he stepped away to get the shot. It is one of the first images to evidence what Davis calls O'Sullivan's "explicitly modern self-reflexivity."
"To make his own presence an active part of the final picture is completely new," Davis said.
The 1867 pictures include geological formations such as the columnar basalt in Nevada's Montezuma range and the tufa rock formations in Pyramid Lake, Nev.
Viewers who are not geologists can learn a lot from the accompanying labels, which explain how basalt and tufa were formed. And not surprisingly, for an expedition led by a geologist, O'Sullivan shot a lot of geological formations.
Among the most dramatic and poetic are the craggy humped rock formations that rise from the waters of Pyramid Lake. Two 1867 images of them, titled "Pyramid and Domes," also offer early evidence of O'Sullivan's penchant for cropping or truncating his images, another tendency that Davis identifies as modern.
Perhaps nowhere does O'Sullivan better capture the feeling of the Old West than in a series of images, taken in 1868, of mining operations along the Comstock Lode.
"These industrial pictures show lots of activity, not unknown pristine territory," Davis said. "Silver mining along the Comstock Lode boomed in the 1860s."
O'Sullivan shot long views of the mining structures and the clusters of small houses on the mountainside, but several of his most striking pictures were taken underground, using magnesium flares for light. They include shots of a miner at work — one is a stereograph, the 3-D technology of the day — and the ominously titled "Cave In."
In "Shaft of Savage Mine, Virginia City, Nevada," men pose with their mining carts, framed by the boxy shafts. They were paid from $3.50 to $6 a day.
Contrasting with these records of human labor, which were not published, Davis notes, are stark images of Mono Lake, Calif. Rectangles of water and sky, separated by a narrow strip of snowy land, bring the modernist paintings of Mark Rothko to mind.
"You feel like you're on Mars," said assistant curator Jane Aspinwall, who co-organized the exhibit with Davis.
A shot of summer snow in the Nevada mountains includes a tiny figure, but it's composed as an abstraction. From O'Sullivan's chosen vantage point, the mountain peaks in the background echo the contours of the striated slab of white that juts into the foreground.
In 1869, the survey team's activities centered on Salt Lake City. The trip yielded some of O'Sullivan's most arresting images of geological phenomena, including the totemic "Witches' Rocks" in Echo Canyon, Utah, and the pair of limestone walls known as the "Devil's Slide" at Weber Canyon, Utah.
As Aspinwall notes in her essay for the catalog, they were formed "when two parallel resistant limestone beds along a fault line were upturned vertically, protruding 40 feet out of the canyon side."
During the 1872 trip, O' Sullivan often photographed from an elevated perspective, which meant he "had to clamber up from the river level and down," Davis said. Demonstrating a new interest in reflections and the play of light and shadow, these later images come closest to the romanticized visions of the Hudson River School — Albert Bierstadt actually joined King in the Sierra Nevada for several weeks in 1872 — but O'Sullivan never waxes sentimental.
The awe we feel before his magnificent "Junction of Yampa and Green Canyons, Colorado" and "Canyon of Lodore From Yampa River, Colorado" is as much for his skills as a photographer as the scene he portrays.
Instead of wowing us with purple mountain majesties, O'Sullivan meticulously records the folds of rock and textures of scrubby vegetation, the winding path of the river and the rhythms created by geological activity.
The works epitomize this exhibit's greatest gift: a lack of manipulation that is as refreshing as it is rare.

Lashes, Lashes and mo' Lashes!
Now, I am a big fake lash fan, they really do finish off you makeup look especially on a night out, I'd be lost without them. But, let's face it, they are super expensive to get some decent ones! Penney's do have some cheapie lashes but for me they are hard to apply sometimes and quite plastic and fake and on the other end of the scale Inglot's cheapest lashes are 10e and all Mac's are 12e I believe. Eyelure (which you can buy in most chemists) are like seriously expensive too and while I think they are worth the money, I would naturally like to avoid paying that amount if possible. And Ladies, it is possible.....May I introduce you too Amazing Shine!
Colour Cosmetics and well let's look at the price, I'm sure you can see why I love them!! Amazing value at 1.99 sterling, like hello???? I'm not being cheap by any stretch of the imagination like but these lashes are phenomenal!!! Not plastic looking, cheap, great value and great effect on!! You don't need to be smart to realise that you need to buy these!!!
Go try some out....even if you don't like them it's hardly breaking the bank!! (p.s. you will like them, in fact you will love them!)
Thanks for reading...

In this paper, two fast computational algorithms are developed for effective formulation for the linearized inverse dynamic robot models with varying (kinematic and dynamic) link parameters . The proposed algorithms can generate complete linearized inverse dynamic models for robot manipulators, taking variations (e.g., inexactness, inconstancy, or uncertainty) of the kinematic and dynamic link parameters into account. They can be applied to any robot manipulator with rotational and/or translational joints, and can be utilized. The computational complexity of these algorithms is only of order O(n) , where n is the number of degrees-of-freedom of the robot manipulator.

The debate over the Hippocratic Oath when it comes to euthanasia and assisted suicide neglects the fact that at the time of Hippocrates, there was no prohibition against physician-assisted suicide in mainstream Greek medicine.
Neither the Hippocratic Oath nor classical tradition provides a compelling ethical or professional prohibition of physician-assisted suicide.
A 2006 Washington University Journal of Law and Policy article stated that because the Hippocratic Oath instructs physicians not to provide a deadly drug, some have concluded that physicians, by their training and moral commitment, must necessarily reject assistance in hastening death.
This is not the case. The provision in the oath that prohibits providing a deadly drug did not even reflect accepted medical practice in ancient Greece where, upon request, a physician could provide a lethal drug for a suffering patient.
In some sense, physicians who provide assistance in hastening death are adhering to a longstanding understanding of the scope of medical practice: To care for and meet the needs and desires of a patient in hastening death are the same as those often carried out by physicians who oversee a withdrawal of treatment.
Over time, the Hippocratic Oath has been modified many times because some of its tenets became less acceptable.
For example, reference to women not studying medicine and doctors not breaking the skin have been deleted.
The oath tells doctors to care for their patients, but if the doctors are letting their patients suffer, not knowing how long they will be suffering, then, they are also not caring for them.
The oath expects doctors to improve patients' quality of life, so, a doctor also has the responsibility, if asked by a patient in constant pain who wants to be at peace, to end his life, as living in pain is living a bad quality of life.

Restore Home
Home Demographics
About The Girls In This Home
Many of the girls in Restore Home have been victims of sexual abuse in their own villages. Some have been rescued from forced sex work in karaoke bars.
Due to the rural setting, many communities place little emphasis on education, which drastically reduces employment opportunities for their futures. Debt, alcohol abuse and domestic violence are high and many children are forced into work to support their parents financially. While there are some local factories, employment is impossible for those under 18 as ID cards needed for legal employment are only issued at the age of 18. This leads to children being tricked and forced into the sex trade.
All the girls in Restore Home need unconditional love and time to heal so they can find and fulfll their destinies. We provide this emotional support, as well as education and vocational training to bring wholeness to these children.
Cambodia is a country struggling to rebuild itself after the ravages of civil war. Heavy dependence on foreign aid still continues, and corruption poisons almost every level of government and society. Many Cambodians live in extreme poverty which leaves them vulnerable to the false promises of the sex traffickers.
Help Them Achieve Their Dreams
Because of the rural setting, there are few opportunities for the Restore Home to work with other training institutions. Therefore, Destiny Rescue provides many training opportunities and services in-house and looks to cultivate small business ideas as a means for girls and their families to safely make a sustainable income. Below are some examples of the opportunities we offer our girls, but as each girl's needs are very different – and we tailor our support according to their requirements – this list is not exhaustive.
Education Opportunities
Schooling at Rescue Home
National language (Khmer), English, Math and Special Needs
Full Education
Attend government schools
Special Training and Job Opportunities
Destiny Café
Hospitality, Cooking and Barista training and employment
Destiny-run pre-training classes, community training and employment
Local sewing classes, also partnered with international denim company

Oklahoma boasts 3 1st-team AP All-Americans
No. 2 Oklahoma will bring three All-Americans to the College Football Playoff.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield, offensive tackle Orlando Brown and tight end Mark Andrews of Oklahoma were selected to the Associated Press All-America team, giving the Sooners more players on the first team than any school. The All-America team, which dates to 1925 and was selected this season by a panel of 17 Top 25 voters, was released Monday.
Four of the top five vote-getters for the Heisman Trophy made the first team, including the runaway winner Mayfield. Stanford's Bryce Love, the Heisman runner-up, and San Diego State's Rashaad Penny, the nation's leading rusher and fifth-place finisher for the Heisman, were the first-team running backs. Penn State's Saquon Barkley, who finished fourth in the Heisman voting, made the team as an all-purpose player.
Louisville's Lamar Jackson, last year's Heisman winner and All-America quarterback, was selected to the second team.
• The other three playoff teams each have one player on the first team, all on the defensive side. No. 3 Georgia, which faces Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl semifinal on Jan. 1, is represented by linebacker Roquan Smith. No. 1 Clemson placed defensive end Clelin Ferrell on the first team. Alabama safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is the only player to make first-team All-America for the second straight season. The Tigers face the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl semifinal on Jan. 1.
• Notre Dame (offensive linemen Mike McGlinchey and Quenton Nelson), Ohio State (center Billy Price and cornerback Denzel Ward), Iowa (linebacker Josey Jewell and cornerback Josh Jackson) and Texas (safety DeShon Elliott and punter Michael Dickson) each have two players on the first team.
• Clemson had the most players selected to all three teams with six. Defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, linebacker Dorian O'Daniel and offensive tackle Mitch Hyatt made the second team. Defensive end Austin Bryant and guard Tyrone Crowder were third-team picks.
• Wisconsin placed five players on the three teams, led by linebacker T.J. Edwards on the first team. Running back Jonathan Taylor and tight Troy Fumagalli made the second team and offensive linemen David Edwards and Beau Benzschawel made the third team.
• Oklahoma had four picks overall with linebacker Ogbonnia Okoronkwo making the second team.
• Four of the five All-America offensive linemen made either second- or third-team last year. Brown and Price moved up from second to first. McGlinchey and Nelson went from third to first.
• Mayfield also jumped from third team to first team. He was selected to the second team in 2015.
• Dickson and Barkley also made the third team last year and moved up to first this season, though Barkley was a third-team running back last year.
• Jackson was not the only 2016 All-American to slide this season. Washington State guard Cody O'Connell went from first team to second team. Utah punter Mitch Wishnowsky went from first to third.

A country drive on a bright and crisp Sunday afternoon led us here - Wild Goose, on the fringes of Chester. Almost alone in 100 acres of parklands and lakes lies this gorgeous restaurant and bar, but it actually feels more like a home.
Serving local and seasonal produce, Cheshire ales, a quality wine selection and as it was Sunday, extraordinary roasts, it was the perfect location to celebrate Mum's birthday.
After eyeing up the sticky toffee pudding early doors, we waited in hope and equal expectation and are glad to confirm it did not disappoint. Afterwards we moved over to the sofas and fire place, and had to have coffees as we felt so at home we were nearly falling to sleep.
On a sunnier day it will be fantastic to return and walk the beautiful surroundings, but for now, knowing that we'll certainly returning is enough.

Starting from here;
going on from now.
A fresh start is at the heart
of all that is to come.
A brand new year
came to call, and all
that transpires grows
from the seeds planted
in those twelve month prior.
That fire in your belly
spurs you on, a prodding
giving the nod to better things.
A fresh start is at the heart
of perfecting your art.
It all up to you
to begin anew.

When you see this girl's snatch what goes through your head? I know I am thinking I might not fit. My cock might not be the longest out there, but it more than makes up for it in girth. If I had a nickel for every girl that couldn't take the beating my big cock gives a vagina I'd have enough Bazooka bubble gum to last a lifetime.
As far as models go with Met Art Betty C is one of my absolute favorites. Betty C is one of those girls that can do it all. She has sex with girls. She has sex with boys. She has sex with herself. Not hard to figure out why. If I had a pussy that delicious I'd drill it every chance I could get.
You can sit there disbelieving or you can look up Betty C on other sites like Hegre Galleries and see that I am telling you the truth. The HegreHunter.com site has many of the same girls as Met-Art.com, but some of them shoot with them under a different name. Don't ask me why. I am clueless on that technical stuff. I am more of a hands on kind of guy.

Eve's getting married today!
My friend Eve is getting married today. She didn't announce any big plans to party hearty last night, but I bet she could have cooked up a hen party if she had wanted to. I do know her fiancee had a bachelor bash, though. I don't know what time the wedding is, so he might even be her husband by now.

Diabetes Mellitus
This is another name for diabetes and one way of knowing if you have diabetes is through blood tests. There is also prediabetes which is a situation where your blood sugar is slightly high but not high enough to be termed diabetes.
This is a hormone that is made by the pancreas, it helps the body use glucose (sugar) gotten from carbohydrates in the foods consumed for energy or it simply helps store glucose for use at a later time. Insulin has the function of keeping your blood sugar level from getting very high or to low, it serves as a blood sugar level regulator.
Hypoglycemia & Hyperglycemia
When the blood sugar level is too high it is known as Hyperglycemia and when too low it is called hypoglycemia.
Type 1 Diabetes
In this scenario, the body does not make insulin, rather the immune system destroys the cells that produce insulin
Type 2 diabetes
This is more common than type 1, here the body does not use or make insulin very well, the body's cell does not react to insulin
Gestational Diabetes
This is diabetes found in pregnancy women, it is mostly formed during pregnancy especially during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, if a pregnant women cannot produce enough insulin, her blood sugar levels can rise and lead to gestational diabetes
Normal Blood Sugar
This refers to the normal blood glucose level for non-diabetics and it is tested while fasting, the normal blood glucose level for humans is 5.5 mmol/L (100mg/dL)
Causes of Diabetes
There are no specific causes of diabetes that can be categorized in general, the causes can differ based on genetics, family history, ethnic background, environmental and health factors.
Here are some likely causes of diabetes for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes
- Virus or bacteria infections
- Toxins from foods
- Any factor or disease that attacks and destroys the immune system
- Obesity, being overweight has been proven to cause type 2 diabetes
- Age
- Poor Diet
Symptoms of Diabetes
Symptoms of diabetes may vary from type 1 to type 2 diabetes, most people with type 2 diabetes have less slightly mild symptoms which may not be noticed. Some common symptoms may include
- Unusual regular thirst

- Sudden weight loss or body weight
- Thrush or itching around the private part
- Dizziness and blurry visions
- Wounds and cuts that does not heal normally or may take a very long time.
- Abnormal hunger feelings even while eating
Diabetes Symptoms in Men
For men who have diabetes, they may experience one of the following
- Erectile Dysfunction
- Premature Ejaculation
- Impotence
- Overactive bladders
- Inability to control urination
- Urinary tract infections
Symptoms of Diabetes in Women
Some women who have diabetes may experience the following
- Whitish discharge
- Oral Yeast infections
- Vaginal thrush

"That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."
With these words, Abraham Lincoln memorialized the Union soldiers who fell at Gettysburg. 100 years later American young men not dissimilar to those of Lincoln's time found themselves in an unforgiving jungle defending the South Vietnamese from their neighbors to the north. Forty-one years after the defeat of our allies in South Vietnam, the question that must have haunted the late 1800s is still ringing in our ears: were our efforts to defend that nation against the invasion of the Communist North Vietnamese in vain?
The years between my departure from that place and today have examined this question in too many articulations and reached no conclusion that warrants nearly 60,000 names carved into a sad rock standing not far from Lincoln's stately, seated memorial.
There is a sensible argument that the weakness of France after WWII justified American aid to prevent an expansion of the Soviet presence in Europe. It posits that Germany was already in shambles and an adjacent state weakened to submission by another loss in indo-China would have given too great a foothold for Communism. The implications are endless and terrifying. But these are cold political ideas that somehow have failed to remove the sting of warm blood flowing freely from young men not unlike myself mixing with the Vietnamese soil.
The only solace one can gather is that perhaps our efforts were not in vain. Perhaps the blood of young Americans spared the blood of countless Europeans. And perhaps such an insidiously hateful word as 'perhaps' is as good as it gets.
(With Trudy Grace)
The radio crackled, "Tango Niner one seven zero, this is Charlie Delta six six, over."
"This is Tango Niner one seven zero, over."
"This is Charlie Delta six six. I've arranged for a Victor Romeo in three zero mikes."
"This is Tango Niner one seven zero. Roger, out."
This conversation between myself – the platoon leader of the first platoon, company A, 1/46 infantry – and my CO, Captain Snow, was to inform me that he had arranged a visual reconnaissance of an area we had never patrolled before. Come to think of it, I'm not sure that it had been patrolled before.
Soon, I heard over the radio: "Tango Niner one seven zero, this is Victor Whiskey two seven, inbound your pos. Echo Tango Alpha one five mikes."
"This is Tango Niner one seven zero. Roger."
Soon, I could hear the distinctive sound of the Loach (LOH6), a small observation helicopter that seats two plus a crew chief. The Loach's shape evokes mental images of a teardrop sporting a tail, and it flits around the sky much like a dragonfly might. Built by Hughes, in Vietnam it was utilized primarily for observation. It has a cruising speed of 135 knots, with a ceiling of 16,000 feet. The most impressive feature is that it can climb to an altitude of 2,000 feet in only a minute.
"Tango Niner one seven zero, this is Victor whiskey two seven. Pop smoke."
"Roger. Smoke is out."
"Roger. Identify yellow smoke."
As the Loach set down, the crew chief motioned vigorously for me to climb in. I made my way through the remaining yellow haze and slid into the right seat, next to the pilot. I had barely gotten in before we took off, climbing for some 2000 feet in what seemed seconds. No sooner had we reached altitude when the pilot banked sharply to the right – my side. I held onto my steel pot with one hand and grasped frantically with the other for anything that could keep me from falling out. I swear, it seemed for a moment as if we were upside down.
His next maneuver was to descend sideways, thoughtfully making it feel like we were falling from the sky. When we reached the level of the ridgeline we were assigned to patrol, he turned the helicopter perpendicular to the mountain and we flew sideways. As I watched the ridgeline seemingly move laterally in front of us, I got the sense of watching a panoramic film, or the street view on google earth.
It was not long before I indicated to the pilot that I had seen all I needed. The fact is that I was ready to have my feet on the ground. I decided it was best to leave the Loaches to the cowboys.
Sometime between eighth grade and ninth, I hit a growth spurt and grew several inches to my present height of almost 6'3″. Suddenly, nothing fit. My pants were perfect for ventures through high water, and my shirtsleeves – influenced poorly by my pant legs – did the same.
Finding pants that fit was fairly simple, because men's trousers are sized by waist and inseam. So, although I now wore a size 32X34, we could find a good selection of khakis (Duck Heads were de riguer for those of us who preferred the preppie look) at the local JC Penny's. And it was little trouble finding Bass Weejuns in a size 12, but finding shirts that fit presented a serious challenge. My shirt size had transformed into a 15X36, because not only had I grown in height, but my arms had become somewhat simian. Back then almost no department store carried men's dress shirts with a 36″ sleeve length. So I had to settle for size 15X34/35, which meant that my cuffs still hit well above my wrist.
I developed a good deal of self-consciousness, wearing shirts with sleeves that were too short. I felt like I resembled Washington Irving's Ichabod Crane; all arms and legs. So, in those times when I had to button the cuff of my sleeve, I tended to contort my shoulders so the cuffs would approach my wrist bone. The rest of the time I simply rolled the sleeves up.
Finally, as an adult, I found a company through which I could order dress shirts with a 36″ sleeve. I am eternally grateful for Land's End.
Jenkins, Kentucky, 1979
An only semi-expected thunderhead came over the mountain with no warning; it brought with it gale force winds, powerful rain, and an unparalleled pyrotechnic display just as I was about to pick up a microphone to begin the song service. A jagged bolt of lightning struck just outside the tent, frying the sound system, and nearly frying me in the process. The flash and the bang were near to instantaneous. We were startled, but we pressed on.
The rain poured in sheets onto the tent until the men started walking around with folding chairs to push the roof up and encourage water off of our shelter so that it wouldn't collapse under the weight. Because of the deafening fracas of the deluge, a hasty decision was made to forgo the song service.
So it was, without lights or a sound system, that Dr. Fred Roth – the revival preacher, and Bible professor at Cumberland College – began his sermon. Waving his Bible as he strode purposefully up and down the sawdust covered aisles, Dr. Roth preached at the top of his lungs. Of course, no one heard a word he said.
Just as the sermon ended, the storm abated and an altar call was extended. So, I led the congregation in the singing of all six stanzas of "Just As I Am." A cappella no less. A throng of penitents made its way forward, either in response to the impressive display of God's hand in the storm, or in gratitude because we and our tent had been spared. It mattered very little why.
This particular tent meeting would prove to be the last of my ventures to Letcher County for some years because shortly afterward, I began my studies at the Baptist seminary in Louisville. I hope it goes without saying that this last experience was the most memorable of all my visits to Jenkins.
Although my memories of my cousin, Thomas Cecil (Tommy) Tucker, are not numerous, they are vivid and kind.
Tommy was eldest of the four children born to Ottis and Bernice Tucker, and a strapping, handsome young man. He was the all-American boy, and in my eyes could do no wrong.
It was awestruck wonder when, at the age of 10, I watched Tommy, who was all of 16, swim across Lake Chickamauga in Chattanooga. Then he swam back again, cementing his larger than life qualities, at least for me.
Sometime shortly after high school, Tommy married his sweetheart, Judy. I'm certain they had the usual dreams of a long life together complete with all the unexpected turns such lives take. But in 1966, he enlisted to serve in the US Marine Corps, for reasons unknown except to him and possibly Judy.
He was ultimately assigned to a machine gun with D Co, 1/1 Marines, in Quang Nam province not far from Da Nang where I would be stationed some years later.
In early 1967, while on patrol, Tommy was injured by an anti-personnel mine. After an astutely inadequate time hospitalized for recuperation, he was returned to his unit and the Quang Nam countryside. His next encounter was with a landmine, on 3 March 1967, and this one proved fatal.
Tommy's death rocked my family, especially his mom, dad, and siblings, Liz, Debbie, and David. And I can't imagine the pain his widow endured. If anyone was ten feet tall and bulletproof, it was this young man. Barely four years after his death, I was deployed to Vietnam as an infantry officer with the US Army. This only served to deepen the trauma my family had already undergone, especially for our maternal grandparents. Mimi and Pop thought Tommy hung the moon, as did those of us "little cousins." It was as if Tommy had passed his mantle of service to me and his were considerable shoes to fill.
My family breathed a collective sigh of relief when I returned home with only wounds they could not see.
So, to my fine cousin: I salute you. You have done your family, and your country proud.
There are times when enough snow is enough. But, our younger children hardly saw, or at least remember, snow from their early years. Although Laura was born on the cusp of the worst snowfall Kentucky had experienced in years, the infamous "blizzard of 78," she didn't remember any of it.
In 1982 we moved our family to Hilton Head, and, needless to say, snowfall there is indeed scarce. So, in December of 1989, just before we loaded up our family to go to Kentucky for my brother's wedding, the weatherman in Savannah announced a forecast for snow in the mid-west. The night before we departed Tim, age nine, prayed that it would snow in Kentucky. We didn't think much more of it.
However, the next day, as we traveled, I noticed Tim peering out the window of our van, anxiously watching for any sign of snow. Near the end of our 10 hour trip, near Lexington, Tim gushed, "It's snowing!" By the time we arrived at my parents' house in Georgetown, the ground was covered. We awoke the next morning to 6″ of fresh powder. Tim was in heaven, even though we had to scrounge around to dress him to go play in the white stuff.
But then it got ugly. Friday night the wind picked up, and the temperature plunged to minus 10. We bundled up as best we could for the wedding on Saturday afternoon, but, after 7 years in the coastal south, we didn't have near enough in the way of warm clothing. As we arrived at the church and walked tenuously across the church parking lot, the cold snow squeaked beneath our feet.
When Sunday arrived we loaded and headed back south, anxious to get home to the warmer climate of coastal Carolina.
But, on Saturday, December 22, the very next weekend, the snow began to fall on our little barrier island, and didn't stop until nearly 12″ had fallen. I hurried to church that Sunday morning to assist in the effort to clear the sidewalks and parking lot, but we were woefully ill-equipped. We grabbed what we could – pushbrooms, garbage can lids, garden shovels – and did our best to prepare for the arrival of our members and guests.
Of course, in that temperate climate, the snow melted almost as fast as it fell, and by Monday it was all gone. However, Tim's mom had seen enough snow for one season. She, in her role as the queen of the household, issued an edict. "No more praying for snow, Timothy."
During our college days, my friend, Ken, and I decided to drive to Chicago, wanting to see the big city while in that part of the country for a wedding. After the wedding rehearsal on Friday night, Ken and I struck out for the Windy City. As we traveled up I-65, we could see the lights ahead. Soon we were on the edge of the metro area. As we got closer, we saw what appeared to be a sea of taillights – and the accompanying headlights – flowing along the Eisenhower Expressway. Drawing nearer, we suddenly found ourselves sucked into the eastbound traffic, but we soon were back to flowing along at 70 plus miles per hour. After a few minutes I looked at Ken, who was driving, and asked, "Do you have any idea where we are?"
"Do you have any idea where we're headed?"
"You mean we're lost?"
"Yes, but we're making great time."
Now I've embellished the story a little to make a point, which is – if you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there. Sadly, many people wander through life with no real direction, just drifting along aimlessly, or spinning like a migratory hamster on a wheel.
During my brief and mindlessly saturated stint as a platoon leader in the jungles of Vietnam, part of my job was to get the platoon from point A to point B in a timely fashion. This made me the most dangerous person in an infantry platoon: a lieutenant with a map. Let me share with you some lessons I've learned while trying to find my way through the jungle
Obviously, the first step in getting where you want to go is knowing where you want to go. Otherwise you'll wind up somewhere you never intended to be. In today's world you can just tell Siri where you're headed, and she'll figure it out in your stead. But Siri also needs to know your destination. She can't read your mind, and as much as she would like to tell you where to go, she waits for you to tell her.
The second step is knowing your current location. Again, your smart phone knows where you are. There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide unless you turn off your location services. But back in the day, in the jungles of Vietnam, it could be somewhat difficult to figure out where you are with just a map and compass.
I'm reminded of an anecdote from my days in Germany. We were conducting a command post exercise in the field, and I overheard this conversation between the battalion commander, whom I will not name to protect the innocent and not so innocent alike, and the command post located in the woods. The old man was on his way to the command post, and needed some guidance.
"Six Zulu, this is six Alpha. Location check, over."
"This is six Zulu. Our location is grid 12345678. Over."
There was a pause, then the radio lit up again and I heard, "This is six Alpha. I don't need your location. I need to know my location." True story.
Once you have your destination in mind, and know your starting point, then the next step is to determine the route. In the military, using a map and a compass, we called that "shooting an azimuth." And, in the event we got off track, (it was never the lieutenant's fault.), we would have to stop and shoot a new azimuth to get back on course. Nowadays, your Garmin will condescendingly recalculate, and Siri will reroute you – both with little ceremony.
The last step is to start your journey. It's a tired but true cliche – a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. What exactly are you waiting for?

Classic Disney fun that might have not have had the biggest stars or greatest budget, but it still manages to make not only a great family film, but stays relevant even after all this time. I don't know if kids today can appreciate this kind of film, but I still have fond memories of it.

Let's forget about the horrible Disney remake, Flubber. This film is a classic blend of comic timing, ahead-of-its-time special effects, and some genuine heart. One of several classic Disney live action films from the 60's, it holds up today and entertains throughout.
TheWolf 08/20/2007 (0 of 0 found this helpful)
First of all, let me say there is nothing wrong with "hokum" or old American values or screwball comedies or old Disney movies. As with anything, it's always in the eye of the beholder. This movie was fun to watch and funny in enough places to warrant a watch by any self-respecting human being with a warm sense of humor.
This movie was the second movie that Fred MacMurray had starred in and it was really well done. I remember seeing this as a kid with my dad and it was great. This is an awesome film and great for families.

Tim Harvey is gearing up to meet with an old friend as he prepares for the Silverstone Classic on the 26-28th July.
The 1992 British Touring Car Champion will take to his old Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 for the first time in over 20 years in the Super Touring Trophy races at the historic racing festival.
"It's my actual Labatt's sponsored car from the 1989 and 1990 seasons, so to be reunited is just fantastic," said Harvey. "That brilliant RS500 is probably my favourite touring car of all time and I certainly never thought I'd be racing it again. It must be the most original Cosworth Sierra still out there right down to the switches and stickers. I'm now really looking forward to Silverstone Classic. It's going to be very special."
Harvey will take to the Silverstone circuit for Saturday's race, while the owner of the car, Paul Smith, will take driving duties in the Sunday race. Joining Harvey are fellow British Touring Car aces John Cleland and Patrick Watts, who couldn't resist the opportunity to get back in the cars from their era.
"Basically it's a bit of sentimentality," explained Watts who's old Peugeot was found 'resting' in a private collection in Australia. "The nineties were an iconic era, probably never to be repeated. The cars were great bits of kit and the racing was so competitive. I'm now really excited to be getting back into the car and putting on a show."
The race will feature touring cars from 1970-2000, covering British, European and World Touring Car Championships and Group 2, Group A and Super Touring regulations.
The Super Touring Trophy is not the only place for former Touring Car drivers to return to their race suits, however, as former BMW-works driver Steve Soper will make his motorsport return in the FIA Masters Historic Sports Car showdown, while Andy Priaulx will lead the modern charge of Touring Car drivers at the event, driving a BMW 1800 in the Sir John Whitmore Trophy for Under 2-Litre Touring Cars.
