Cloud computing increases the mobility, flexibility and cost-savings offered by mobile devices. Working "in the cloud" means that files are stored and created in the cloud, rather than on the computer where the file was created. A programme runs simultaneously on numerous connected computers. The programme software and user data are stored on remote servers. Mobile devices access the program through a browser or app.
Moving to the cloud could be a cheaper option since schools can spread IT costs through flexible subscriptions. Such on-demand software is cheaper than upfront licences.
Google and Microsoft's cloud productivity apps allow schools to pay for their cloud programs on demand. We have already written about the educational ecosystems of the three main manufacturers. For example, Google Apps for Education takes Google's existing cloud-based productivity apps and focuses them around collaborative study.
Increased Engagement and Productivity
With cloud computing, the programs used to create and share become even more mobile and less tethered to a particular device. Device portability enables ease and speed of use, leading to increased engagement and collaboration. Cloud computing could further shorten this gap.
Privacy and Security
However, the features that make cloud computing ideal for education (the ability to collaborate, ease of accessing files) rely on hosting companies being able to control communication between the company and the student.
Continuous access to student data raises privacy concerns and the possibility of data mining (extracting user information). Rather than decide against cloud computing, schools can invest in privacy protections (ie, cryptography or multiple cloud providers).

Why You Should Have Sex with an Imperfectly Perfect Girl
Posted by Brooklyn Beach on December 4, 2017
If you are on the fence about booking a party with a professional companion, allow me to convince you. Whether you're hesitant because of shyness or your own body image, I can relate. As a plus sized girl, I understand all too well the concerns many of us have regarding the way we're perceived by others. I also believe that these concerns are mere fabrications of the society we live in. Who is to say we should be ashamed? Who is to say what we should look like? No one. And besides, plus size is more fun. Especially in the bedroom.
When I started as a companion, I struggled with ideas that society has about body image. I was worried no one would accept me for who I am and that I would never get to share my compassion with anyone. I was so nervous and scared that I would never be accepted. I can relate to anyone else that feels this way. As someone with a little extra to give, I can guarantee that I offer more than my less Rubenesque colleagues.
My philosophy is that I hold no judgements. And if I did, how contradicting would that be? Instead, I can relate. Presenting your body to anyone can be a scary endeavor, I know. Like showing the whole table your deck of cards and worrying that everyone will judge you. I have learned to embrace the hand I was dealt, and I've never been happier. But why should you get naked with me? Once you are over the hurdle of your insecurities and learn to embrace them, what can you expect with a plus size girl?
My Body is a Wild Ride
My body is like an amusement park. With dips and hills, a big booty and large breasts, the ride is exhilarating. My butt, breasts, hips, and thighs are all areas that, when touched erotically, arouse my sexual energy. And yours too. Unlike plus size girls, skinnier girls can't use their breasts in sex like I can, if you know what I mean. If you haven't tried "breast sex," you can only find it with a plus size girl. With what my body has to offer, our foreplay experience will raise to higher peaks and deeper valleys.
I Arouse Your Deepest Instincts
I'm a firm believer that men are instinctively attracted to plus size, despite what society thinks. As a man, whether you realize it or not, you are visually stimulated by nature. By mountains, hills, valleys, peaks, crevices, and any other natural structure. Also, the sex appeal of a woman is dependent on her ability to bear healthy children. As a curvy woman with larger breasts, wider hips, and a juicy booty, I will trigger your instinctual attraction and desire to procreate. Let's use our bodies like nature intended!
I Know How To Laugh
A girl like me knows how to laugh, and I must say – I'm pretty good at it! I love to crack jokes and I'm not easily offended – share your dirties joke with me. I'm not a perfectionist and I don't take life too seriously. I know how to have a great time and live in the moment – because my hair and nails aren't most important things to me.
Better Foreplay
As a curvy, plus sized girl, I offer more after sex too. I'm a great cuddlier. I have a unique sense of humor, and, like I said before, I will never, ever judge you. If you're worried about choosing a companion based on your own insecurities, look no further than me. I'll make you feel more relaxed than anyone else. You can contact me and we can set up an appointment. If you're ready for a wild ride and an awesome experience with a curvier girl, I'm your woman.

Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School students are getting a dose of local history with their art studies and using what they learn to interpret and reinterpret the significance of a Cape Cod icon.
At a recent field trip to the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, students got to view current exhibits as well as artifacts and photos not on display. Then, using clay, press molds, concrete, paint, sometimes combined with actual remnants from the renovation of the Hyannisport home of the late President, students brought JFK's legacy into the present through artworks now exhibited at Pauline Hopkins Gallery of Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School.
The space program, John Fitzgerald Kennedy's love of the ocean and sailing, his vibrant personality and the women in his life were some of the inspirations for the exhibit of some eighteen 11th and 12th graders.
Adriana Cericola layered slabs of clay over a mold to create a dinghy evoked by JFK's love of the sea. Arana Hurley too was moved by JFK's love of Cape Cod waters through his beloved Wianno Senior sailboat the Victura, painting it sailing to the future, embodying for her the words JFK spoke, "My call is not to those who believe they belong to the past. My call is to those who belong to the future."
Others found the young president's face and personality fascinating. Renee Levesque strove to recreate his features in three oil portraits. Another student created ceramic dinner plates imprinted with the president's face. One student created a small wall: on one side are positive personality traits of JFK, the other negatives.
Jon Pecoraro said he had studied the president in history class but going to the museum was "a great refresher. JFK was a hard worker. He always wanted to strive for more; he never gave up. He was family man staying with his family on Cape in the summer." Pecoraro admired how JFK supported the arts and the space program; the latter is the subject of Pecoraro's series of sculptures made of slats from the renovation of the Kennedy home in Hyannisport combined with concrete to create evolving shapes which merge satellites with lighthouses, space and the sea. The card explaining the work says that as he created he thought of "all the achievements JFK started, finished and never got to complete."
Marly Lynch who wants to be an architect, used balusters from the Hyannisport home's widow's walk to support ceramic statuettes of some of Jackie Kennedy's iconic dresses and the events she attended in them. "She was the first First Lady to really try to do something rather than just stand by idly while her husband did all the work," and Lynch finds this relevant to today's women's movement.
Jenny Dolby was moved by JFK's mother Rose, connecting through her to Dolby's own closeness with her own mother. Her watercolor expresses Rose's kindness. "I wasn't as closely connected to him as your generation, but I still connect to him for all the great things which are part of his legacy, the space program, the Cape Cod National Seashore, programs to benefit people. The idea that he is from Cape Cod hits closer to home. It gives that feeling that anyone can go as far as they want."
The project began two years ago at the suggestion of Carl Lopes, retired Barnstable High School art teacher and director of the Art and Applied Technology Department where the first project with the JFK Hyannis Museum took place. Lopes said the first student curatorial project was between Barnstable High School and PAAM in 2014. "That was the year I retired. Then I set up a similar project with Barnstable High School and the JFK Museum last year with the collaboration of Matt Kemp (Art Department head) and Abby Fay (art teacher) This year some of the teachers I contacted were my former students and some were former colleagues."
Monomoy Regional High School has shown their exhibit. Sandwich's opening reception will be April 28 at the JFK museum. Saint John Paul II will be scheduled in May at their school. D-Y's exhibit runs through April 26.
Emily Mezzetti, JFK museum education director says, "Carl Lopes entitled the program the Art Curator Program because it's not just about creating the art, it's about learning what it takes to curate an art show, host the reception and publicize the exhibit." At D-Y, Advanced Placement students worked with their art teachers Dan Springer (Art Department chairman) and Craig Brodt who teach 2-D and 3-D art respectively, over two months, with a week to put up the exhibit. They said students learned to place art in a gallery so pieces complement rather than compete with each other.
The teachers think it's a great learning experience, both to respond to the emotional prompts of the museum and to be able to use "a real variety of processes which make [the experience of creating the art] more diverse and individualized," Brodt said.
The students agree. So does Principal Tony Morrison, who grew up on the Cape--and even went to the Hyannisport house with his mother who cooked and served for Kennedy parties. "It's a marvelous example of collaboration. The connection the kids are making to JFK is unbelievable."
John Allen, the museum's director who has made artifacts available from the Hyannisport renovation to adult artists for exhibits inspired by JFK at such as the Cape Cod Museum of Art and the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, added about the high school collaborations, "It brought out critical thinking, and brought out their connection to a president who was a neighbor on Cape Cod. It brought out the relevance to that." He said it was a particularly appropriate project to commemorate an administration which passionately encouraged the arts of all kinds. He said giving students "something which they may not have expected and have them sort through it creatively and make it meaningful is thrilling. This project helps students grow and brings the museum into more importance for the Cape community."
Perhaps student Mitchell Pecoraro summed up the idealism carried on here best in a placard next to his piece, "The Hand and the Hammer": that JFK's call to "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for our country" is an empowering call to humans to make this country and world a better place, because everyone "has something special" which can contribute.

China Eastern Airlines
Spread the word...
China Eastern Airlines Reviews
"The Fawlty Towers of the air"
Between the two of us we've lived in 10 countries, so the experience of flying is not usually surprising...
At Seoul airport the China Eastern check-in people said I couldn't fly as we were transferring at Sydney and I didn't have a visa for Australia, just a UK passport.
'But I'm not leaving the airport!?'
'You still need a visa.'
'But we're also transferring in Shanghai, do I need a Chinese visa?'
'No, but you can visit Shanghai for 24 hours with no visa.'
'But I'm not leaving the airport in China, either!'
'Well ... er ... we'll see what we can do.'
After half an hour ...
'Oh, you don't need a visa if you don't leave Sydney's airport.'
'Thank you, good day.'
On the Shanghai --> Sydney 10 hour leg we were put right next to the toilet. It would've been good on the way back as Olivia spent most of that time throwing up the food they'd fed her.
When we were in Sydney we went through customs as China Eastern wouldn't transfer our luggage, and we had to check out and check in again. Our mistake after 10 hours sat listening to people use the toilet (the overhead tvs only showed infomercials with the volume turned off). Only I didn't have a visa so Olivia sped through the Australians/New Zealanders (NZ passport) queue and I got stuck air side. We had no means of communicating so she picked up our luggage and held on to it. I went to the transfer desk and they tore up my boarding pass for the Sydney -> Christchurch leg as Olivia had our printed schedule so I couldn't prove I had a return flight back from Christchurch.
After several hours waiting Olivia checked in and we met up, showed the transfer guy our schedule and he printed a new boarding pass - luckily my seat hadn't been taken in the meantime. I said 'Thank you, good day'
On the return journey China Eastern, in Shanghai, made us check out of the airport, pick up our luggage, and then check back in again. By that time they only had separate middle seats. We said 'Thank you, good day'. We got to the gate, Olivia went ahead and they wouldn't let me through as both our boarding passes had Olivia's name on. She was called back to the gate and we waited a while until they fixed their cock up. When we got on the plane our seats were already taken by people who also had boarding passes with the same seats on. Luckily there were a couple of spare seats at the front of coach, which was nice. We said 'Thank you, good day'.
I would also like to add the complete incompetence and rudeness of the staff on many instances e.g. when checking in there was a line of about 200 people and only one person managing the check ins. Directions were unclear or absent e.g. when trying to check in we were stranded at a "transfers wait here sign" with 60 other people for more than an hour, only to find out from the aggressive attendant that they were unable to help us. After we had finally managed to get checked in they put us on a bus with first class passengers (economy passengers were on another bus) that sped us through only to leave us all stranded waiting behind a long line in the cold, which was strange because when Olivia was trying to hop off the plane one of the air hostesses berated her for not letting a first class passenger go first - the curtain between first and coach was never closed. Staff barely spoke English. They also had a limited supply of arrival cards in English so they handed out many of the English speaking passengers cards in Chinese to fill in.
The list could go on and on. Apart from anything else I was amazed at how incompetent this airline is. And how they managed to turn flying with them into a frustrating and miserable experience.
"overall good"
Domestic flight with China Eastern. Clean aircraft, took off on time on both ways. Staff distant and cold but still professionnal, sometimes it was difficult to understand their strong chinese accent when speaking in english plus the noise of the engines that cover their voice. Overall, I can't complain that was a rather good experience.

Days in the Life of a Call Center
Please Place Me on Your Do Not Call List
It is 9 a.m. and the telemarketers are rushing to their seats to began their day. "All right everybody, you know what you are suppose to do".."DIAL AND SMILE". Sitting next to each other is a newbie and a seasoned hen, "hey mam, how many times do you let the phone ring, before going on to the next call?" The seasoned hen replies, "Lord, there is no winning number, just keep dialing". So the newbie just listens to the continuous ringing and finally goes on to the next number.
Ring....ring...ring...ring, Hello. Hello this is -------calling from-------HUNG UP. Ring...ring....ring..., Hello. Hello this is ------calling from-----. We are offering a one time guarantee on your saving money on your pre-existing car insurance. Yes, I am interested. What do I have to do? How much does that cost? Will that change my policy? Now that you have completed your application for this one time offer. How do you want to set up your payments? Check, money order, cash, credit or even debit card, you even can do automatic or online payments. One down and many more to go. Gotta get my quota for the day.
Ring....ring...ring...ring...ring... Hello. May I speak to the lady of the house? NO SHE AIN'T HERE! Ring..ring...ring...ring..ring...ring...ring...ring..Hello. May I speak to the man of the house? Who is this? How did you get this number? Are you a bill collector? Well, he is not here, he is at work...at least he better be. HUNG UP. Ring..ring...ring...ring...Hello. May I speak to .... No, thank you, would you please place me on your do not call list. SLAM...HUNG UP.
Ring...ring...ring...ring...ring...ring..Hello. This is -----calling from----. We see that your policy is about to expire, you are in luck. We are offering a one time guarantee on saving you money. Excellent, all you have to do is complete all twenty questions....it is as simple as that.... Mr.---how long is this going to take, I thought you only had twenty questions. Well, sir I need to get your information on how you intend to pay for it and then we are finish...ok. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day.
ALERT, ALERT, ALERT...qualify controller is heading your way. Miss--- you are not making enough calls. You have only called three clients in a thirty minutes. You have got to speed up and limit your conversations. Stick to the product and ask only those questions that pertain to the product. No, no, you don't need to ask about the weather. No, no, you don't need to know how old her grandson is. No, no you are not suppose to give out your zodiac sign. All right...let us get back to dialing and smiling. Remember quality control is listening.
LUNCHTIME....remember people, you have only thirty minutes. The newbies were full of questions, "Hey many applications have you done so far"? The season hens and roosters stated, "we have ten applications". "It is so hard getting people to answer the phone", said the newbies. "Oh, just hang on and in there", replied the season hens and roosters. "Well, what happens if you don't have twenty applications at the end of the day"? "WELL, YOU WILL BE FIRED"! A creepy silence overtakes the whole lunch room, then all of a sudden came an outburst of laughter. "Oh, we are just kidding with you all", said the season hens and roosters. "That's not funny," the newbies said in a low whisper.
Back to the station, and the newbies, hens and roosters continued their race to reach the quota. Ring after ring after...applications filed and cancelled....but they all just kept dialing and smiling until they heard this mysterious ping sounding bell, five o'clock has rolled around. The manager is standing in the middle of the floor, and he begins to speak. "Everybody, thank you for a good job, you all met your quotas plus some". "See you tomorrow for another productive day".
Working as a telemarketer is no laughing matter. Most telemarketers have experienced stress that is similar to an old fashion pressure cooker. It is like food that is steady cooking, but not able to sip out. Don't get the story wrong, some people enjoy the job, may even love it. Like any job, you just need to know if you can handle it.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout
Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie
Written by: Christopher McQuarrie
Based on: Mission: Impossible TV series created by Bruce Geller
Produced by: Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie, Dana Goldberg, J.J. Abrams, David Ellison, Don Granger
Starring: Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Alec Baldwin, Angela Bassett, Michelle Monaghan.
With a mega budget, cracking good use of the original TV show's theme, endless action-packed chase sequences, exotic locations and enough double crosses to challenge a reality TV show, the latest instalment in the Mission: Impossible series, Fallout, more than lives up to its hype.
For those of us who are not fans of Tom Cruise (surely these are legion), the best movie of his is Edge of Tomorrow, where he is repeatedly killed in a variety of violently pleasing ways and then resurrected the next day to repeat the process – all very good fun.
In Mission: Impossible – Fallout, we have to settle instead for seeing Cruise's character Ethan Hunt get repeatedly beaten, thrown, punched, stabbed, betrayed and pursued as part of the world-in-peril (again) mission he chose to accept in the pre-credit sequence.
The plot involves a nuclear threat and various international legal and covert parties' desire to acquire key components ahead of their competitors, either initiating or preventing a new world-wide threat to humanity as we know it. So just business as usual.
Cruise actually broke his ankle while filming one scene (you can see him hobbling off afterwards and he isn't acting!), so you have to give him full marks for throwing himself so enthusiastically into the breathtaking stunts that litter this two hour plus film like blood spatters at a crime scene.
Despite this being the sixth film in the series, it isn't necessary to be familiar with the five that came before, none of which I have seen. There is enough exposition in the opening sequence and at regular intervals throughout the film to ensure we are sufficiently clued in about each character's backstory. There are smatterings of amusing dialogue amongst the Impossible Mission Force (IMF) team comprising Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and Rebecca Ferguson that indicate their shared history, closeness and unwavering loyalty, as well as their expertise in technology, explosives and medicine.
True to its television series origins, there are also a number of double crosses where characters are misled or tricked into betraying vital information. Although these scenarios were generally easy to predict, they were delivered with the requisite gusto and sleight of hand that had the audience relishing each new reveal.
The impeccably staged chase and action sequences are relentless and often very violent, with just enough quiet time in between for the audience to recover before being catapulted into another larger, louder, more explosive one that manages to outdo what has just gone before. Despite all of these action sequences interspersed with meetings with top brass, international terrorists or weapons brokers, the basic storyline remains easy to follow. The best aspect to all this was hearing the audience laugh at each new peril that stoic Tom Cruise faced, which left you wondering, 'How is he going to get out of this one?'
What stood out most for me was how Cruise's character retained his humanity and desire to protect the good guys, even under the most trying of circumstances, rather than being a one-dimensional assassin without a moral compass.
Rollicking good fun.

If you ever sat on the bank of a gently flowing river, you understand how peaceful and calming this setting can be. Yet, if you add a few days of constant rain to this environment, that gently flowing river can turn into a fast-moving flood capable of picking up cars and buildings and depositing them far downstream. If that flood of water freezes, large chunks of ice can form and create even more havoc as they barrel downstream. What I'm trying to say is that running water and ice carries a great deal of energy.
We know from physics that this energy can be lost when it hits something. Of course, energy doesn't disappear; instead, it gets transformed into some other form, such as work. With running water, this work can be erosion. The rate of energy loss on a channel bed that can lead to erosion is known as stream power. This idea of stream power helps us understand how water can cut channels through hard structures, like earth and rock. In this lesson, we will learn about bedrock channels, which are eroded paths cut through bedrock, and the process that leads to their formation.
So what is bedrock? Well, the easiest way to think of it is as a firm foundation of solid rock. It's usually covered by loose soil and sediments called alluvium. It might help you to remember these terms if you think of bedrock as the bed you sleep in at night. When you lay down at night, you rest on a firm foundation that is your bed. On top of your bed you might have pillows and blankets that can easily be pushed aside; this would be like the loose sediment that geologists refer to as alluvium.
In fact, alluvial channels are another type of channel composed of loose alluvial sediments. Alluvial channels are free to adjust because of the loose sediments they carry and deposit, whereas channels cut through bedrock are not as free to adjust due to the solid confines of the rock.
I think you can see that it's a lot harder to cut through bedrock than it is to cut through alluvium, so let's take a look at the processes that form bedrock channels. Abrasion can be defined as the erosion that occurs when particles scrape against each other. Abrasion can be thought of as having somewhat of a sandpaper-like effect on rocks. It helps form bedrock channels as sediment particles that are carried along tumble and scrape against the bedrock walls, causing the walls to erode. It also leads to some of the most interesting rock features, such as potholes like these:
Plucking, also known as quarrying, is a process of forming bedrock channels that involves the erosion and transport of large chunks of rock. We see plucking in association with the thawing and refreezing of moving glaciers. As the glaciers move over the landscape, the lower section of the glacier is subjected to friction. This causes some of the ice to melt and seep into cracks and joints of the bedrock. This water refreezes and pushes on the rock, causing it to weaken.
If the bond holding these fractured rocks weakens too much, the fragments can be picked up or plucked from its foundation and carried by the glacier. This process helps shape the bedrock channels by itself, but we also see that the frozen chunks of rock and sediment clinging to the bottom of a glacier scrape along the landscape. This perpetuates the abrasive erosion discussed earlier.
Let's review. Bedrock can be defined as a firm foundation of solid rock. It is usually covered by loose soil and sediments called alluvium. Bedrock channels are eroded paths cut through bedrock. We can understand how channels are cut through hard structures like bedrock by understanding the concept of stream power, which is the rate of energy loss on a channel bed that can lead to erosion.
One of the processes that form bedrock channels is abrasion, which is the erosion that occurs when particles scrape against each other. Abrasion can be thought of as having somewhat of a sandpaper-like effect on rocks. Plucking, which is also referred to as quarrying, is another process of forming bedrock channels that involves the erosion and transport of large chunks of rock. With this process, fractured rocks can be weakened from their foundation and plucked up by moving glaciers.

As the trends toward medicalization and medication for mental disorders grow, psychologists, counselors, marriage and family therapists and social workers must expand their knowledge of psychopharmacology. When appropriate, they communicate with prescribing physicians. They also need to educate themselves regarding the pros and cons of using medications and to help clients, when necessary, communicate with their prescribing physicians. It is often helpful for the psychotherapist to communicate directly with the prescribing physician, especially with more vulnerable clients, such as the children, and the seriously mental ill, who are more likely to be over-diagnosed and have their meds inadequately monitored. Psychotherapists can do this effectively only if they, themselves, understand the advantages, pitfalls, interaction effects and other complexities of psychotropic medications.
This 15 CE credit hour intermediate level course consists of three parts. Part One presents shared decision-making models between patients and physicians and presents ethical and clinical guidelines concerning prescribing medications. Part Two discusses recent advances in medications for bipolar disorder, the ongoing controversy over the effectiveness of antidepressants for treating depression and the use of antidepressants for pregnant or lactating women. Part Three discusses ADHD medications for children and adolescents. Additional resources and references are provided for further study, but they are not part of the course.
Educational Objectives
This course will teach the participant to:
Describe the CommonGround model of decision making about medications between physicians and patients
Describe a communication-centered epistemic model of shared decision-making between physicians and patients
Describe how prescribing patterns with vulnerable populations differ from prescribing patterns with other patients
Discuss patients' reactions and concerns about medications
Discuss the complex relationship between diagnosis and prescribing medications
Discuss whether the effectiveness of antidepressant medications is fundamentally a placebo effect
Describe the special considerations when prescribing medications for children and adolescents
Evaluate recent developments in medications for bipolar disorder
Discuss how antidepressants have altered depressed people's view of their self
Discuss considerations about prescribing antidepressants for pregnant or lactating women
Discuss the controversies surrounding increased diagnosis of ADHD
Describe mothers' views of ADHD medications
Describe the concept of the neurochemical self
Discuss the mechanisms of ADHD medications
Discuss the mechanisms of bipolar and antidepressant medications

Michigan Furnace Technicians
Furnace repair for your Michigan home can be really inconvenient, especially during the middle of the heating season. Stay ahead of costly emergency service calls by scheduling annual preventative maintenance.
Just like anything, a heating system is going to need some attention now and again to make sure it is functioning properly. If you system is neglected, it may build up dust and dirt and start working below expected performance levels. When you schedule preventative maintenance with a contractor in your area, you can make sure that this dip in performance doesn't happen to you. Your contractor will inspect your system, make sure it is operating well and clean it. This way, they can find any minor issues that could turn into big problems down the road.
This is the best way to make sure that you get the most out of your furnace. For more information about furnace upkeep and purchasing, read our helpful buying guides.
Invest in Efficient Heating for Your Michigan Home - You Won't Be Disappointed
States, particularly those in the far North, can benefit from the addition of a high-efficiency furnace. Long, extremely cold winters are common in Michigan, meaning that your furnace is going to work extra-hard, longer in order to meet heating demands. With inefficient, old systems you may only be getting a 50% return on the amount of energy you put into the unit! That's a lot of waste going up the flue every time you turn on your furnace. Install the 97% AFUE iQ Drive® modulating gas furnace and you can enjoy nearly 100% efficiency. This can potentially save you money over time, making up for any initial price differences between this and lower efficiency units.
Make sure you contact your Michigan furnace contractor and find out if the iQ Drive, high-efficiency furnace is a good choice for your home.

Simple coloured bar graph display for value read from a external Wifi sensor
Bajet $10-30 USD
Ideally I would like this to work on iPhone and Android phones so using the Xamarin platform or PhoneGapp would be preferable. Alternatively a native Android app only.
The application will have to scan for the device via Wifi (The device is a Wifi capable hardware sensor that can function as a Access Point or Wifi Direct device)
(Wi-Fi peer-to-peer (P2P) allows Android 4.0 (API level 14)
First use it will show a scanning screen while it scans for the wifi device. Previously used devices are connected to by default.
The device will send a 10 bit value(s) to the phone (The phone will request the data),
The phone connects to the IP addr and sends a request to a port. The data is returned in json format.
The level must be represented by a nice shaded graph going for red to green (where green is the highest value)
The full scale of the graph must be selected from a configuration table. (Allowing different full scale values represented by the 10 bit value)
The graph shall also have a course and fine setting. The fine setting will
"zoom" into the the graph showing a finer range.
I will require the complete project source files so that I can make any changes that I require.
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions for clarification.
I have a product that I would like to produce and need an idea on the cost of this before I commit to producing the hardware. If it can be done cost effectively then I will go ahead with it, if not I will cancel the project.
I have no idea on the budget so don't be put off on the maximum amount of $30 if you feel that it is more work just say so.

Eating Raw Paleo Primal and Why I Love It
While I've always been slim, I've also struggled with body image issues since I was a teenager. I've never had a full blown eating disorder but I've definitely pushed the boundaries and my body dismorphia has led me to unhealthy extremes and times of despair. I've spent so much energy and a staggering amount of my life obsessed about food, diet and my weight. It's so sad to think about all this wasted time and energy. I've tried just about every diet (everything from Zone and South Beach to juice cleanses and low-carb) but nothing would last very long. I'd either have a moment of clarity and think "Why am I doing this? I don't need to lose weight!" or I'd just be too darn hungry to continue something so restrictive. I'd think "I should just eat like a normal person" (read: the supposed celebrities that can eat one single piece of pizza) but this would never last. The problem was that I was always so hungry and this led to being obsessed with food and ultimately overeating. Then I'd feel bad and decide I should find a new way of eating, something I could stick with.
One of the most recent diets I tried was Kimberly Snyder's Beauty Detox plan that advocated a vegan diet. I'd have her glowing green smoothie in the morning but I'd be starving soon after. I did lose some weight but I was still obsessed with food and craved sugar and carbs and couldn't seem to resist the pizza my husband was eating. I questioned whether going without meat was a good idea, especially after my husband pointed out that no known cultures are vegan. Hmmmm…..
I even tried the 80/10/10 low-fat high-carb diet but after two days of eating so much fruit sugar my teeth started to hurt, plus I was still left hungry after meals. This didn't seem right but Instagram was full of people posting super-slim pictures of themselves in their underwear with slogans like "carbs don't make you fat".
I felt so conflicted and was stressed about finding the right answer, the right way to eat. I was obsessed and spent the majority of my free time on the internet searching for answers. Unfortunately, you can find someone who is advocating just about anything on the internet….sigh….
I asked Margaret Floyd Barry about the 80/10/10 diet and she urged my to avoid a low-fat diet, explaining that fat is needed for fertility and subsequently, a growing, healthy baby. This really scared me. At that time Margaret was doing a raw primal diet where she ate completely raw, but unlink the more traditional raw vegan diet, she was eating raw dairy, fish and meat. Margaret felt great and she said (this is the part that really interested me) she was much less hungry then normal.
I used to only be able to go about two hours without eating or else I'd feel distracted and get grumpy. I'd eat lunch and be thinking, "What next?". Unless I overate I never felt quite done. And I always craved sweets after eating. I felt insatiable.
I watched the interview Margaret did with Melissa Henig, who eats raw paleo-primal regularly. This diet is primarily raw and includes raw dairy, eggs, grass-fed meat and fish, cultured vegetables, green juice, fruit and some vegetables, as well as cooked food such as bone broth. Grains (and therefore gluten too) and soy are avoided. I was intrigued but the thought of eating raw meat didn't sound appealing.
In February, 2014, I stopped taking the birth control pill and my skin started breaking out. A few months later I met Melissa Henig through a friend and Melissa suggested I should add raw cultured butter to my diet to help balance my hormones. I'd been avoiding dairy for so long that I was really skeptical but I decided to give it a try. Who doesn't love butter? (Please note: I believe conventional pasteurized dairy is very different than raw dairy and is not advisable so my goal is to avoid it, aside from special occasions).
I started to incorporate more raw dairy into my diet and felt much more satisfied. At first I was eating a lot but over time I began to notice that I could go longer periods of time without eating and that when I did eat I felt very satisfied (no post-meal chocolate cravings) and didn't overeat. Miraculously, my cravings have virtually gone away (although I wasn't able to resist the nacho appetizer last weekend when out with friends). I'll go out to a party and not have the cookies. What?! I've never been that person!
I've gained a little weight but I'm confident that this will balance out. Melissa says when she first started the raw paleo primal diet she gained eight pounds but once her body was "fed" and nourished, she lost it. This diet is not a quick fix for weight loss but because I'm eating low-carb real, minimally processed food (even something like homemade kefir is technically processed- i.e. not straight from the cow- but I'm not eating hardly any packaged food) so I believe my body will find its healthy weight.
My typical diet these days includes:
homemade raw milk kefir
whole raw milk smoothie with raw egg, raw honey, turmeric/ginger juice and bee pollen
raw cultured butter pie – I like to add bee pollen on top
raw bison or beef burgers with cheese, wrapped in a lettuce leaf
fish ceviche
homemade green juice (with a tbsp of cream to help absorb toxins)
raw carrots – I try to eat one organic carrot a day to aid in balancing hormones
Jun, beet kvaas and kombucha (these are fermented beverages)
cultured vegetables, especially when my meal includes meat or fish
raw cheese (I bring a jar of raw cheese to restaurants and add it to a salad with avocado)
raw cottage cheese with honey, sometimes mixed with butter, raw egg and turmeric

FUNDRAISING efforts to help a little girl to walk unaided saw her aunt leap out of a plane, and nearly 100 people enjoy a charity ladies night.
Jenny Mattison, 31, took to the skies on Saturday, July 23, to raise £1,145 for Suranna Gleeson's campaign, parachuting from 14,000 ft.
And last weekend, friends and family raised more than £1,000 at a ladies night in Warrington, bringing the grand campaign total to £4,732.
Suranna, four, who attends Busy Bees in Formby, has cerebral palsy digplegia, a condition which means she has to use a walker or crawl.
There is an operation that could help her, but it is only available in America and will cost £50,000.
The work colleagues of mum Kerry organised a charity ladies night, complete with live singers, rock and roll bingo and a raffle. The highlight of the night were the waiters; two Cheshire firemen.
Kerry said: "These boys waited on our tables all night were very attentive and great for getting our drinks so we could all relax, enjoy the night and not miss a thing. They were funny and seemed to enjoy the attention."
"The evening was a great success and we raised £1,100."
Aunt Jenny, from Litherland, decided to face her fears and do the skydive for her 'inspirational' niece, Suranna.
She said: "Suranna is a right little chatterbox. To be honest she amazes me.
"She is a bit of an inspiration. Nothing phases her. I love her to bits."

I think DSP was comparing to a real 303
Looking for an amplifier kit based around the Tripath TA2020/2024 chip. Been reading loads about the sheer sound quality of these things. Cheap as chips to buy pre-made but could be a nice cheap experiment to get me used to soldering.
15th January 2011, 19:42
I just picked up the wicked sounding Ekdahl Moisturizer. It's not a DIY kit, but the the mods are DIY. Haven't gotten to mod'ing it yet, but it should produce great sounds. I think the first mod I will do will be the ->Filter after -> Reverb.
22nd March 2011, 10:41
Woh, that moisturiser looks awesome I want one.
But not until ive cleared some backlog!
My x0xb0x kit has arrived with sexy aluminium case
My backlog is getting ridiculous;
PSU for mixer
Steiner filters; bought all the bits for two variations, need to build the damn things.
Bipolar PSU
808 Kick PCB is on its way + need to find a way of triggering it. If succesful will try a few other 808 instruments, hats, clap and snare would be awesome.
Got some midi synced LFO chips on the way over as well.
I have actually built a few little distortion circuits, some better than others.
But want to get x0x going first, got a few live acid gigs coming up in summer.
27th March 2011, 21:33
Well ive started x0x - but hit a snag as one of the parts in the kit tunred out to be defective
have to wait until a replacement arrives. Pointless carrying on until i know each stage is right.
Shame really.
I was on a real roll.
Also f**ked up ordering the bits for the mixer PSU so cant progress that either. Grr. I HATE ordering electronic parts. Minefield. About a million things that all look the same but are different...
Oh well.
8th April 2011, 11:19
New bit turned up, works now
PSU Complete, VCO nearly complete, got the sawtooth working, just wondering whether to socket the (f'in expensive!) transistor.
Also built a variable PSU to test it and a soundcard oscilloscope.
Also the 808 kick PCB has arrived but it needs drilling. Ouch. Its 6"x4" with about 42 tiny holes...
Also got some beta Midi syncd LFO chips on the way from america, analogue wobblez
8th April 2011, 11:25
Waiting on my Aluminium x0x Casing to arrive from x0xsh0p \m/
8th April 2011, 12:41
Yeah, ive got one of those. Beautiful things.
You modded any of yours BTW? No room in the aluminium case, but once ive built it, ill know the insides backwards so might add some mods to my original one.
11th April 2011, 15:50
VCO finished and VCF finished now, depsite the weather (gardening).
All tests worked ok so far, need to calibrate the resonance, then onto the VCA and envelopes!
So prob not far off half way now
14th April 2011, 11:02
Just need to shorten the pots a bit! get the knobs flush!
16th April 2011, 10:19
looking cool man! ive got a horrible feeling i may have trimmed my pots too chort and may have to replace
Weell see when we get there.
Ive completely finished the analogue section and the IO board and all connectors now. Just have to do the sequencer and the LEDs. ive got a set of blue but thinking of changing a few to other colours, need to play with the resistors.
I might even swap some out of the other x0x i have. def going to do some of the mods too.
Been a greta project and going surprisignly quickly, excellent build docs

Still studying for a Cisco exam, along with full time work (recently seconded to new role), along with many other life things so this is back burner and then some!!
I can only dream of the day I'll have some time to ruin it
2nd May 2011, 23:47
x0x i finished!!!
Its too late now to test it but all the soldering is done!
Will have a go at it tomorrow night. If im ridiculously lucky it might just work but got to consider the possibility of snagging... All the tests you can do along the way passed, so im hopeful.
Looks awesome tho, spent 2 whole days () trying out different coloured LEDs and associated resistors for brightness... but should be worth it.
4th May 2011, 09:43
Well, if anyones still readin this () ; it works ! Plugged it all together, soldering in all the jumper leads id forgotten, and it worked, programmed in a pattern, sounding great!
Then i broke off a voltage regulator ;
trying to put on the heatsink... its been bent back and forwards a few times while building. So ordered a few more, and will have to few days for a new one to arrive. Gutted. Oh well, at least it worked first time.
4th May 2011, 10:01
Well done, do you have an oscilloscope to tune? i got one for my iphone, and this http://www.backyardbrains.com/news/index...ing-cable/
4th May 2011, 10:22
No, just going to use my PC.
Ive got a soundcard oscilloscope but its a bit crap. Was just going to tune it by ear against a known C.
Gutted about the bloody 7805 but i suppose it could have been worse, could have not worked. A couple of the LEDs look brighter than the others too so need to check the resistors.
4th May 2011, 11:12
a few of mine are a bit dimmer, but cant be arsed to go through it all again

Safetyboy - did you get some weird screwheads for putting together your case? mI tried to do it last night and its a weird, octogon type screwhead, well annoying, cant put it together! Ill have to buy some normal screws today.
Replaced the voltage reg and it all works, tuned correctly (well by ear and Cubase's tuning tool, close enough) but one or two leds are the wrong brightness, quite annoying. Grr!
Yo Dustin, yeah, saw those Liquid things, look pretty cool, got an old casiotone thing to bend at some point, my to build list is getting huge. Got a LIQUID HI HAT pcb on the way too, plus some 808 bits...
Cheers for the synthrotek link, some nice stuff there.

yeah there just like phone screws, security type, you can buy a screwdriver with all the sizes for about 4€
just bought a TR-707 last night too
18th May 2011, 21:55
couldnt be arsed to wait in the end... got some normal screws
cheers anyway. Have fun with the 707! Ive got my 909 now, you can so get lost in the boxes, and no BSODs, crashes, updates, grr!
Anyway, so ive finished pdx0x2! Well chuffed.
sounds to follow.
19th May 2011, 16:07
There a nice case!

Lovely work.
Now my exam is done and passed time to review this thread for tips, get a decent soldering iron and start on my SammichSID.

Addict turned neuroscience researcher Marc Lewis finds an interesting parallel in the longing for connection:
We are built for wishing, for wanting, for craving. And the fact that what we sometimes crave is a sense of connection is why so many of us turn to religion, or addiction, or both. But the wish itself is not an evil thing. It's a very human thing. It even seems noble, or courageous. It expresses a need we know intimately in ourselves and that brings out our compassion for the vulnerability we see in others.
I've recently become very fascinated by our need for connection. I been thinking it may be paleo's "missing link." Stay tuned … you'll be hearing more!

I used to envy people who carefully write down their travels in minute details, preserving their impressions and memories in words and even special travel books. I tended to believe that, when I grow up, I'll acquire this habit as well. Maybe I still do, occasionally. But I've come to love living my life as it happens, without recording it, not to wrap the immediacy of impressions into stories, not to mix impressions and memories: so that the memory of each moment is preserved as I lived it, not as I written it down, flattened and trivialized. Maybe I just don't believe in my ability to write with richness of life. I sometimes tell stories of my life later on, when the memory has already been crystallized and is in no danger of dissolving into words.
I pulled out this painting as the illustration to this post because painting en plein air is the closest I come to recording my life. And often, like here, I overlay these impressions later, in studio re-work, drawing from the essence of crystallized memories. This particular motive of sunny mountaintops -- I've repeated it many times, in different sizes and formats; but this version is special, because its first, now nearly hidden, layer has been done from life. Nearly hidden in reworks and remembrances, but still visible and alive, the original source of energy and color. The studio rework has made it somewhat more abstract, fuzzier, yet more straightforwardly rhythmical. Isn't that what memory does with our immediate impressions of life?

Australian naval architect Joe Adams made his mark as early as the 1970s with yacht designs ahead of the times. He believed cruising boats should be able to perform and especially to have performance to windward, not just off the wind cruising attributes. Many of his designs are narrow and long boats with displacements of much smaller vessels. His designs are well known in Australia.

Gersthofen, 19 January 2015. In only a few years, sedak has become the trailblazer of finishing glass and stands for exceptional quality and extreme pane sizes in the international architecture. On occasion of this year's BAU Munich, the market leader for large-size panes presents further milestones of finishing glass. On the one hand a laminate with the measures of 3.2m x 14m having been finished with the ceramic-ink digital print technology. On the other hand a coated, triple glazed insulating glass in 1.1m x 14m.
Since the beginning of 2014, sedak has been operating the worldwide largest flatbed printer for ceramic-ink digital print and thus, offers a completely new scope for design: the new technology delights ever more architects and facade constructors with high precision in the print quality and maximum design flexibility. Due to the digital print technology, the facade becomes a large-size canvas for creative designers.
The print subject is designed at the computer. Modifications are made easily. The design can be reproduced any time. "Designs are defined directly at the computer, processed as requested and sent directly from the computer to the printer without any long and expensive arrangements," explains Bernhard Veh, CEO of sedak. After the printing, the ceramic inks melt permanently with the glass at 600 degrees Celsius in the ESG-furnace.
Architectonical gain
The new print technology for large-size formats opens up several possible applications. After having been burnt in the furnace, the pane can be processed further to laminated safety glass or insulating glass. The inner surface as well as the exterior one can be designed totally different.
Besides the designing of facades and roofs outdoors, large-size designed panes are used for hotel lobbies, malls or glass floors. Architecture and ambience close ranks.
Due to the extremely resistant print, the digital print technology is also suitable for anti-slip effects on glass floors.
Exhibit with largest ceramic-ink digital print
Now, at sedak's stand at the BAU Munich, the worldwide largest ceramic-ink digital print can be admired. The exhibit is supposed to not only fascinate because of its size. There is a lot to discover in the print's design. It is supposed to invite to pace off the pane in its entire size, to test the proximity effect and the long-distance effect.
However, it also shows the role the element "glass" will have for architecture in the future. It will not be just ornamental art but an integral component of the overall system "building" with its functional scope of design. Logically, sedak's unicum shown at the BAU Munich has been developed in cooperation with an architect. Christian Tschersich of LAVA created the screen based on a computer-aided, generative technology.
Glass as a part of the over-all building design
Analogous to the parameterized architecture, the appearance of the scene orientates itself towards the installment location, the position, the size or the cardinal direction. Bernhard Veh explains the exhibit: "More than ever, it was our aim to make glass an organic component of the overall design. The density of pattern repeat, colors and transparency are created in dependence on the architecture. The building and the design become an intelligent, connected unity."
In the comprehensive view, the designs created with the sedak technology stand out due to a coherent design and at the same time, have a strong performance-based variability. The back of the exhibit also shines: it shows a work by Hubertus Hamm, a photographer from Munich. The photo has been alienated due to the interaction with the parameterized design of the front.
Coated insulating glass pane in unique size
A further exhibit sedak presents at its stand is a large, coated insulating glass pane with the format of 1.1m x 14m. Despite of its weight of 1.2t, it has been integrated into the stand in a way that makes it appear hovering. The insulating glass pane contains four 8mm thick tempered glass panes. Two of them have been lamina-ted.
At the beginning of 2015, sedak will start operating its new insulating glass production line for large insulating glasses with measures up to 3.2m x 15m.

Some people are happy to go on holiday without giving much thought to what they'll eat and where it's come from. But if you're a bit of a foodie, then a visit to Snowdonia is an absolute joy…
It's possible you've never given a great deal of thought to the subject of the foods and drinks that are made in Snowdonia. That's fair enough; the region is probably better known as a world-class outdoor activities centre and an area packed with family attractions than it is as the gastronomic centre of Britain.
But Snowdonia has a great deal to offer if you're interested in cooking and eating amazing produce. From locally reared lamb and beef to local honey, preserves and even wines, you'll be spoilt for choice when you visit Snowdonia.
1. Glasfryn Parc Farm Shop
The farm shop at Glasfryn Parc near Pwllheli is a real treasure trove of both local produce (including meat reared on Glasfryn's farmland) and luxury ingredients from around the world. The Welsh Black beef from Glasfryn is especially good, but look out also for the 'freezer pick 'n' mix' where there's a great selection of frozen fruit and vegetables for you to buy in any quantity you like. Just need a few berries for a cheesecake or enough veg for a casserole? No problem – you're in full control!
2. Bodnant Welsh Foods
Bodnant Welsh Foods in the beautiful Conwy Valley isn't just a shop – it's a gastronomic experience! At Bodnant you can enjoy a full day out, to include cookery lessons, a look at local beekeeping, a visit to the garden centre and of course plenty of shopping! The farm shop at Bodnant stocks a fantastic array of produce from the estate itself as well as from other parts of Wales; in fact, around 75% of the produce sold at Bodnant is Welsh.
3. Hooton's at Fron Goch Garden Centre
A visit to Fron Goch Garden Centre, just outside Caernarfon, is a treat in itself. Apart from the excellent selection of plants, garden furniture, gifts for the home and garden and other such delights, there's a wonderful (and very popular) cafe serving delicious food and beautiful cakes. But there's another great reason to visit Fron Goch, and that's the Hooton's farm shop that's based there. This is a great place to shop for locally grown veg and locally reared meat, as well as a fantastic selection of luxury foodstuffs from all over Wales and beyond.
4. Pant Du Vineyard and Orchard
People are often surprised to learn that there's a vineyard in Snowdonia! Pant Du in the Nantlle Valley isn't just a producer of award-winning wine: it also produces excellent cider and delicious spring water. You can visit Pant Du for a tour and a tasting – or if you're pushed for time, just pop to their shop and stock up your cellar!
5. Purple Moose Brewery
You'll find Purple Moose Brewery's excellent beers in pubs and shops all over the region and beyond. What's more fun than drinking it in a pub or buying it from a shop, though, is visiting the brewery in Porthmadog and having a tour and a taste. The tour costs just £5 and at the end you'll get a free glass and a tasting session – now that's a bargain!
6. Y Pantri Cymraeg
Y Pantri Cymraeg is a little Aladdin's cave of gastronomic treasures on the Maes in Caernarfon. It may be a small shop, but it stocks a fantastic range of Welsh baked goods, confectionery, preserves and pickles – not to mention an excellent selection of Welsh alcoholic beverages. It's also a great place to grab a spot of lunch for eating on the move, so pop in and fill your picnic basket!
7. Bwtri
There are branches of Bwtri – a fantastic deli and local produce stockist – in Pwllheli, Porthmadog and Wrexham. Here you can stock up on fantastic Welsh cheeses, luxury pates, and a wide range of other local and exotic produce. You can even make up your own hamper to give away as a gift – though with the quality of food available at Bwtri, giving the hamper away is the difficult part!
8. Edwards of Conwy
Most notable for its award-winning sausages, Edwards of Conwy is a wonderful butcher in the heart of the medieval town. But it's not just the sausages that make Edwards special (and incidentally, you can buy these in most of the local supermarkets too); their bacon is also fantastic, and as well as a great selection of meat the shop stocks a variety of other local produce too, including some excellent chutneys and other preserves.
9. Cadwalader's Ice Creams
You can't write an article about food in Snowdonia without mentioning Cadwaladers Ice Cream; it's so delicious, so special, that it'd be a travesty to leave it out! There are branches of Cadwaladers all over Wales, but we'll focus on the Criccieth branch for now – for this little town is where it all started, and it's still quite possibly the most famous and best-loved branch of this 88-year-old business. What's so special about the ice cream? You'll have to taste it yourself to find out, but suffice to say, with ingredients including "6 lbs of shan't tell you" and "a great deal of love and care" the recipe is a very closely guarded secret!
10. Blas ar Fwyd
Last but by no means least let's look at Blas ar Fwyd, which is a bit of an institution in Llanrwst. Not only is it one of the UK's biggest delicatessens outside of London, but it's also a bistro – so if you want to taste those wonderful ingredients as part of a hearty meal, you'll be at the right place! With a vast selection of fantastic products from Wales, the UK and the world beyond, you'll be hard pushed to find a more interesting place to shop for food – so pack a few shopping bags into your suitcase next time you visit Snowdonia, and head over to Blas ar Fwyd for the food shopping trip of the year!

Another of those update thingies
Y'see, my PCP is a doctor that cares. He sits, he listens, he explains, and then he takes the appropriate action.
For example, I've been having a little problem with my foot in a cast for so long. I am under the perpetual fear I'll get a cramp, and when there's even a little room inside the cast, my foot starts trying to work its way out of it. I can't get my foot out; that's the whole point. But tell that to my subconscious when I'm sitting at my computer, doing whatever it is I'm doing. That's a problem unto itself, as I'm supposed to be resting.
So I bring this up with my PCP, and state that while I may be on Xanax for my anxiety issues, that drug doesn't have the skeletal/muscular relaxation that can be found in Valium. If I were to be given a temporary prescription of Valium to address my restless foot, potential muscle cramps, and anxiety, I could kill multiple birds with one pill.
If I make a sound case with my doctor and he'll work with me. If I were to sit there and simply scream, "GIMME DRUGS!", I think he'd have me escorted out by security. He sat...He listened...He agreed with my layman's knowledge of the named drug...And he prescribed it to help me with my current issue. He also gave my oxycodone a 5 mg. boost because of increasing pain in my hips, which we hope to address in the near future. Finally, I'll be getting a referral to a neurologist.
Here's the thing...I have no idea what a neurologist can really do for me. I have a disease of the nervous system. It's degenerative. I'm already on the only drug that I KNOW works. But I'll go because that's what the special specialist wants me to do, and my PCP is in agreement.
Now if you missed my worried monologue some time ago, I had a white blood cell test done that brought about a fear that something horrible was happening inside my lungs. I mean, one glance at the pictures made it seem like the lower half of both lungs had lit up like stars on the blackest night, and that prompted Becky and I have to have a serious chat about what to do if I had any serious illness of the lungs. Fear is a terrible thing to live with, so I did my best to simply ignore it...but not so much as to forget to discuss it with my doctor.
Well, it turns out that it was NOT my lungs. It's my spleen and my liver, which are directly behind the lungs, and they're expected to light up like that because of the garbage they filter out. As for why my bladder was aglow, (what I've been jokingly calling "my uterus"), it wasn't bright enough to cause any concern. Just to be sure, he took a careful listen to my lungs, and they still sound remarkably clear for a guy smoking for 24 years. Go figure.
So for a guy in not-so-great health, I'm okay. I'm still facing several medical issues, but I AM facing them, and doing my best not to let them rule my life.
Be well, all, and DFTBA!

I just wanted to comment something real quick... something I should have commented earlier, but I haven't been especially well and I was like "Okay... I'll do this later when I feel better" and due to one thing or another, it kind of slipped my mind.
Anyways. You mentioned earlier that you probably don't need to worry about cancer because it's a genetic disorder and none in your family had that particular cancer.
That's not entirely accurate.
Cancer is basically when something goes wrong in a cell's division. Normally, the life cycle of a cell- its birth, life and death, is a very controlled thing. This is why tissues grow only in certain areas and certain sizes. With cancer, something goes wrong, and cells start multiplying totally out of control, like weeds, choking out the normal cells. These cells are wrong in more than just their division: their metabolism is also haywire (hence why they can be sort of targetted by some therapies with "minimal" damage to surrounding tissue) most of the time.
There are many reasons why cells may make mistakes like that, and, in fact, they very well may be making those mistakes right now in your body and in mine. Thing is, when they do go haywire like that, the body recognizes them as foreign and promptly eliminates them. It is only when the growth passes (somehow or the other) unnoticed by the immune system that it becomes the illness known as cancer.
The MAIN reason for cells becoming cancerous has little to do with genetics. It has to do with damage to the DNA. Nicotine is one major damage-dealer. It is also linked to some NASTY cancers. Lungs is the obvious one. But there's also mouth cancer (A friend of my mother's had an uncle who died of this one... he lost the lower part of his mandible and had to be fed through a tube the last months of his life), tongue cancer (I guess it might count as mouth?), throat cancer, and, surprisingly, colon cancer (a chronically-smoking uncle of mine died of this one. After YEARS of horrible agony, losing part of his colon and having to wear a little bag to contain the intestinal wastes... it was heart-breaking to see, I'm almost in tears recalling the last time I saw him...), not to mention it does terrible things to blood pressure and such (my mother's father died of THIS one. He also had, apparently, untreated diabetes, which is, we think, what mixed badly with nicotine to produce the deadly heart attack that took his life).
Cancer is a genetic disorder in so far as the fact that the propensity to make those mistakes is linked to certain genes which are indeed inherited. But the genetic factor is ONLY a risk factor. Genetic diseases are things that are carried down as illnesses. Cancer is NOT that. Genetics doesn't cause it. It only increases your chances (and not as much as other risk factors, mainly the damage-dealers).
You're starting a new life with Becky. I know she probably doesn't mind you smoking, but seriously, Rob. Think about it. You got enough going on health-wise. Do you REALLY want to increase the chances, at all, of getting it worse? The agony my uncle suffered... my uncle, a strong, HEALTHY man until cancer took him... he was in pain, like you, unbearable, not even morphine helped. Nothing did. You already know pain of that category. Do you want, even a 0.00000001% HIGHER chance of adding a problem like that to the mix? You owe it to yourself and to Becky and to your future family to try to make your life as long as possible. Please, please don't make the mistake of thinking that just because you don't have that kind of cancer in your family means you can't get it. No one aside from my uncle had THAT kind of cancer, after all. Like I said, it's NOT a genetic illness. Genetics is only a risk factor and the disease is caused by DAMAGE to the DNA.
I worry about you, Rob, even if I barely ever say anything...

Rob, I couldn't agree more with Blue, here.
This is something about your health that you can control. You can say that it's hard to quit. It is. I know. I smoked for 25 years before stubbing my last butt. But I did quit and so can you.
You can explain to whomever will listen the many ways that quitting is difficult and why this method or that method won't work for you. These are excuses, they are not reasons. There is no reason to continue smoking, there are only excuses. Oh, I'll grant you that many of them are compelling, but in the end, its you versus the pack and you can't let the pack win.
If you're interested in hearing how I did it without any medical or counseling assistance, let me know. What worked for me may not work best for you, but you've got to do something to at least get started on the path to being smoke free. You owe it to Becky and your future kids, you owe it to your pocketbook, and you owe it to yourself.

Continued signs of life in the residential housing market helped construction aggregate producer Martin Marietta Materials (NYSE:MLM) achieve growth on both its top and bottom lines in the third quarter of this year. Combine this macro strengthening with internal productivity gains, and you're left with a 21% sales increase over last year.
Moving forward, continued strength in the residential housing market should continue to pull Martin Marietta higher. Both new-home starts and residential permits have finally reached levels not seen since June 2008. This news is especially positive for Martin Marietta and its peers, such as Texas Industries (UNKNOWN:TXI.DL) and Vulcan Materials (NYSE:VMC), because non-residential construction usually follows residential spending's lead. If this trend plays out, investors in this sector could be witnessing the beginning of a nice move north of current share prices.

Out of all of your work, these illustrations are by far my favorite. I love how the line work and two ink colors create a weird contrast in the first few. Kind of blows my mind!

Thanks! That was definitely an approach that I'm still playing with in my sketchbooks. I've yet to apply it to any finished work.
