Paucis Verbis card: Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation
Occasionally, patients present to the ED with new onset, rate-controlled atrial fibrillation. It's an incidental finding. Do you have to anticoagulate these patients because of the risk for a stroke?This installment of the Paucis Verbis (In a Few Words) e-card series reviews Anticoagulation for Atrial Fibrillation from the Cardiology Clinics series. The article goes over lots of literature about the risk of stroke. I find the CHADS2 scoring system and the 2006 AHA/ACC/ESC Guidelines most helpful.Note: Patients with persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation should be treated the same when it comes to deciding about anticoagulation. They have an equivalent risk of stroke.Feel free to download this card and print on a 4'' x 6'' index card.[MS Word] [PDF]See other Paucis Verbis cards.

I suppose I'll have to rely on word of mouth for now. I'll label these cards eventually if I have enough to create an e-book. Thanks for looking out for me.ReplyDeleteJabeauMay 26, 2010 at 10:30 AMYes for prescribing warfarin to patients with enlarged left atrium and/or increased chads2 score.No for dogmatic INR between 2 and 3 when age >75 : INR is safer and more stable between 1,7 and 2,4, with same efficacity.ReplyDeleteMichelle Lin, MDMay 26, 2010 at 10:46 AMJabeau: I totally agree with you. These were the recommendations from the article though. I also think INR's between 1.5 and 2.5 are ideal.ReplyDeleteJ.D. PascoMay 26, 2011 at 12:10 AMThanks for this. This maybe late but would you comment on the use of dabigatran?ReplyDeleteMichelle Lin, MDMay 26, 2011 at 10:44 PMInteresting question, JD. I'm unfamiliar with actually prescribing dabigatran, a thrombin-inhibitor. It first was approved for use in Europe and only became US FDA approved late 2010 and only for non-valvular atrial fib for the prevention of stroke. The studies are really too early for me change from the current standard practice of prescribing warfarin. Why do you ask?ReplyDeleteJ.D. PascoMay 27, 2011 at 4:53 AMThanks. Oh, I was just listening to a lecture from Sanjay Arora about HIT (Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia) and he says about thrombin inhibitors as an option if one needs anticoagulation (since coumadin is also discouraged as long as platelet is abnormal).So, I really have no experience on it. Thanks again.ReplyDeleteMichelle Lin, MDMay 27, 2011 at 4:13 PMJD: I hadn't heard of Sanjay's talk on this. Interestingly, I just heard of a 11 min video on management of dabigatran's bleeding:http://www.hqmeded.com/node/166ReplyDeleteEdoardoJanuary 14, 2012 at 10:09 AMExcellent card, but there is now a new scoring system: the CHA2DS2Vasc.

Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott has no animosity toward Texas Longhorns - ESPN
Scott: Deal with Big 12 wasn't assumed
Updated: June 16, 2010, 7:55 PM ET
NEW YORK -- Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott walked away from
his failed attempt to create the nation's first super conference
feeling as if he sent a message about the future of his league. "The Pac-10 that people got to know over the last week is the new Pac-10," Scott said Wednesday in a 45-minute telephone interview with The Associated Press, the first since Texas and four
other Big 12 schools turned down a chance to join his conference. "I think you will continue to see innovative, bold steps that
we take to make the Pac-10 and our schools the best they can be."
A year after Scott left his position as head of the Women's
Tennis Association to become Pac-10 commissioner -- a hiring that
made few national headlines -- he nearly changed the landscape of
college sports. "There's a reason they brought me in," he said. "There's a
reason they didn't go with a traditional candidate from college
sports." Scott said he never felt he had an agreement in place with Texas
that would have led to the Longhorns, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State,
Texas Tech and Texas A&M joining the Pac-10. "In my experience in professional sports and college sports,
nothing's ever done until it's done," Scott said. "We developed this plan with our eyes wide open. We knew that this would be seen as a very bold stroke and there
would be all kinds of reasons why it might not be possible at the
end. "I think there was a sense that this was an incredibly
compelling vision and certainly created a lot of excitement among
the schools that we were talking to as well as our members. And it
captured a lot of other people's attention as well." The Pac-10 did land one Big 12 school in Colorado. "We realized that there could be all kinds of complications in
terms of pulling off such a bold move," he said. "That's why we
moved first on Colorado as a beachhead, to put a stake in the
ground to keep available other options that we're very interested
in in terms of expansion that might be more modest in nature." The next part of Plan B fell into place hours after Scott spoke
to the AP, when the Pac-10 announced it had invited Utah to become
its 12th member. Utah officials have not said what they will do, but the school
has announced a news conference for Thursday, and it would be
shocking if the Utes did not leave the Mountain West for the
Pac-10. Scott said that when the news came down that Texas and the rest were
not joining the Pac-10, he called Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe to
congratulate him on saving his conference. The Big 12 also lost Nebraska to the Big Ten but will remain as a 10-team league. Scott said he believes that the expansion to 16 teams failed for three reasons. "Number one, I think there was a tsunami of Texas political
pressure from Texas A&M and Baylor," he said. "Secondly, it's
clear there was a great national fear that such a compelling plan
would cause dramatic domino effects nationally with other
conferences." Lastly, Scott added he was given strict parameters to work with
by Pac-10 university leaders. "My marching orders were clear," he said. "There are essential principles
and values the Pac-10 holds true to that we were not going to
compromise as part of trying to get a deal done." Scott would not elaborate, but he did say Texas would not have
been allowed to start its own television network and keep all
revenues from it if the Longhorns had joined the Pac-10 -- which
they will be allowed to do by the Big 12. "Schools ultimately make decisions for what's best for them,"
Scott said. "We presented a vision of what the future of the modern
collegiate conference might look like, and I was absolutely thrilled
with the reception that it got and the excitement that it created
nationally, and it really validated that it is a compelling vision. "I took away so many positives from this process." Scott, an All-American tennis player at Harvard, spent six years
as CEO of the WTA. He was long an advocate for merging the men's and women's tours,
helped secure an $88 million, six-year sponsorship deal with Sony
Ericsson for the tour and was instrumental in getting equal prize
money for men and women at the sport's 10 biggest events. But he had never worked in college sports before. Scott was hired to inject energy and innovation into a conference
that was getting left behind by the other major players in college
sports, such as the Big Ten and Southeastern Conferences. The
latest figures show the Pac-10 paid its members between $7 million and $11.5
million. The Big Ten pays all its members almost double the highest
payout in the Pac-10. "He thinks very strategically and very smart long term, and as
you well know it's all going to come down to how good of a media
contract he negotiates going forward in the next 18 months,"
Washington athletic director Scott Woodward said. The Pac-10 is exploring the possibility of starting its own TV
network, like the Big Ten has, and is hoping for a payday at least
similar to the reported $1.86 billion, 12-year deal the ACC just
signed with ESPN when it negotiates a new television deal next
year. Even though he couldn't pull off the Pac-16, Scott said the fact
that the Pac-10 attempted to make such a power play was a positive. "If you want to say we've swung for the fences, we're
thrilled," Scott said. "This is the second inning at best. You'll
start seeing this summer some of our other plans and innovations
start to be unveiled. "At the end of the day, I feel good about the process."Copyright 2010 by The Associated PressRecommend0

Spirits of the Dead, Harbingers, Undead	Banshee
The Banshee is yet another harbinger, bringing a warning of impending death to the family it has chosen to attach itself to. When she senses an impending death, she keens with an ear-piercing tone (although she has been known to sing or weep as well). Those who are to die are able to hear her cries clearly, no matter where they are in the world. According to ancient Celtic legends, the Banshee is said to come into existence when a woman dies in childbirth, creating a ghost that is doomed to foretell the deaths of the living.
Species: Undead (Incorporeal), Spirit of the Dead
Other Names: The Banshee goes by many different names, according to regional folklore and culture. Bean Sidhe, Badbh, Bean Chaointe, Baoban Sith (actually another species altogether), Ban Nighechain, Bean Nighe, Caointeach, Washer of the Shrouds, Washer at the Banks, Washer at the Ford, Cyhiraeth, Cyoerraeth, Gwrach y Rhibyn, Eur-Cunnere Noe, Kannerez-Noz.
The word banshee comes from the Gaelic term bean sidhe (pronounced “b’an shee”), which means “woman of the mounds.”
Habitat: The Banshee is said to inhabit the hills and highlands of Ireland and Scotland, and this spirit has been seen in France and Germany as well. The Banshee has been known to attach itself to certain families, following them anywhere. This spirit has even been reported in America. Basically, if one looks hard enough, she can be found just about anywhere.
Features: The Banshee’s appearance seems to vary quite a bit. Some legends say that she is a hag, having fiery red eyes (from constantly weeping) and long, flowing white hair, wearing a gray cloak over a green dress (a faerie color). Other legends say that the Banshee appears as a beautiful woman dressed in white (the color of death) with long, luscious red hair. Although beautiful, the Banshee’s face is veiled in mourning.
Behavior: The Banshee attaches herself to certain families, doomed to foretell the deaths of the each member of that family. However, the Banshee does not wail, contrary to popular belief. Instead, she sings or weeps loudly when she senses impending death. Although the Banshee isn’t necessarily evil, she is feared by both the Irish and the Scottish because of her association with death and impending doom. They dread her haunting cries, and it is said that those who are about to die can hear her cries, no matter where they are in the world. However, the people appreciate the warning ahead of time.
Abilities: The Banshee is a spirit, having no corporeal form to speak of. Thus, she is impervious to physical attacks. Furthermore, she is able to disappear and become invisible at will. Her incorporeal form allows her to pass through physical barriers with ease.
Weaknesses: While the Banshee is unable to be physically harmed or killed, she may possess a few weaknesses. As the Banshee is thought to be some sort of faery spirit as well as a blade of cold iron (that is, iron that has been shaped without heat) could possibly hurt her, although this is only a theory derived from the spirit’s association with faeries. Salt repels the Banshee, as it is considered to be pure and anathema to the denizens of the spirit world. Any other methods of protecting oneself from the Banshee are unknown at this point. If the Banshee was once human (not all Banshees are ghosts), she may be able to be put to rest by finding her earthly remains, and then salting and burning them.
History: The Banshee is a spirit of the dead, a harbinger of death. Originating from the Celtic lore of Ireland and Scotland, the Banshee is said to come into existence when a woman dies while giving birth. This tortured soul, unable to cherish the new life of her child, becomes restless in the grave. She is preordained by unknown forces to warn others of impending death, especially violent deaths.
Another more malevolent version of the Banshee is the Bean Nighe, the “Little Washer by the Ford.” She is a hideous old hag who, like the Banshee, died in childbirth and went mad with grief. She is forever doomed to wash the bloodstained clothes of those who are about to die. She appears as a hideous old crone with glaring red eyes, a single sharpened front tooth, a single large nostril, large and pendulous sagging breasts, and great clawed webbed feet.
Most legends say that she is a cannibalistic flesh-eater, but some brave adventurers seek her out for help. According to legend, if a hero were to somehow suckle at one of her breasts, he would be rewarded. The Bean Nighe would gift him with second sight, grant a single wish, and be adopted by the creature, thus becoming her foster child and gaining her protection forever.

17 | May | 2011 | Voices from Russia
The Only Hope: the Next World. Russians Don’t Believe in It, but Live as if They have Faith that it Exists
Filed under: Christian,church in society,moral issues,religious,Russian — 01varvara @ 00.00 PM Vladimir Putin (1952-) lighting a candle in Church… VVP is a believer, as are most Russians. ______________________________
A recent poll conducted by sociologists upset many in the Church… amongst Russians who consider themselves believers, only a few have confidence that there’s an afterlife. Modern man is at an impasse. As it’s May, it’s appropriate to bring to mind how many millions of people stretched out their hands to heaven, asking God, “Why?” Why did He allow the Nazis to kill millions of innocent victims? Why didn’t He intervene? Why didn’t He punish Hitler and save humanity from the bloodiest war in history of war and the extermination camps?
Misfortune should occur only to unjust and dishonest people, those who have done evil before both God and man. Why should those who lead righteous lives suffer and perish? The world is full of blood and tears. Innocent people die at the hands of criminals, or they fall victim to auto accidents, fires, and earthquakes. What, then, is God’s justice? Professional theologians can easily find an answer to this question, arguing that evil is a necessary part of the world… good without evil is inconceivable. This answer satisfies inquisitive students, but not the parents who have lost a child. You can certainly argue that there are very few righteous people on Earth, that those who suffer have committed this or that transgression, and that God has the right to punish them for that. However, are such minor misdemeanours worthy of such harsh punishment?
Look around you… grief and suffering falls on the most ordinary sort of people, ones that you couldn’t call great sinners. Yet, some start looking for faults in their behaviour, they come up with all sort of small faults such as failing to go to services or random blasphemes. Somehow, people think that their guilt was the reason why a car hit their son or daughter. This is our attempt to explain to ourselves an often brutal and incomprehensible world. Even a not-very- religious mother who loses a son in an auto accident agrees that God punishes sin, so, she often takes the blame on herself. If she had been less selfish and gave more thought to the soul, if she had observed the fasts, if she had went more often to services, then, her son would still be alive… but the death of a child… isn’t that an overly harsh penalty for failing to keep the Lent?
Good people should live happily ever after. In spite of that, throughout the 20th century, millions of good people died, and real criminals lived happily ever after… One can readily see that a person who doesn’t know much about the universe sees only chaos, leading many to question why this person died young, but this other one lived to a ripe old age. Some think that God operates according to a definite plan. However, the question arises… how can we unite such an assumption with the religious idea that every human life is of value? If someone sacrifices their child in the commission of a grandiose plan, we send them to prison. Are we ready to acknowledge that God also uses severe methods?
Some believers think that God specifically sends suffering to improve people. Sometimes, parents must punish a child that they love dearly. Similarly, so does God. He treats us as a wise and loving father does, cautioning us against major errors and misfortunes. One of the clergy gave us the following example. If a person who’s clueless about medicine visits an operating room, they conclude that surgeons are a gang of criminals, who torture an unfortunate victim. Therefore, by causing pain, God actually helps us. Some say that if your house burns down, that means that God doesn’t want you to be rich. A young man, who beat up a criminal, said, “You only thought about money and cars. God doesn’t want you to do that. He wants you to become better, more spiritual”.
It’s a strange way to make the person better… to prevent them from walking without help, to become disabled, tied down to a wheelchair. Of course, the surgeon takes up the scalpel to help people, but not everyone who thrusts a knife into a person is a surgeon. Perhaps, sometimes, by causing pain to the people we love, we help them. Nevertheless, not all suffering is a blessing. When a child is born handicapped, it’s hard to believe that that this was God’s plan… that He wished by this to elevate the souls of the broken-hearted parents. If a newborn baby dies, whether by chance, or, due to someone’s negligence, is this also part of God’s plan? Still, what it is for? Is it to teach a lesson to the baby? What is the rationale of a lesson in which the student dies? Is it to instruct negligent parents or incompetent nurses in the way of truth? Isn’t that an outlandish price for this lesson?
Modern theology offers us a different view. Yes, innocent people suffer in this world. They lose loved ones, they fall into misfortune, and they lose their health, work, and well-being. Nevertheless, we shouldn’t seek a meaning for this in God’s Will. God doesn’t punish people this way. Perhaps, we need to accept the fact that some things happen for no reason… the universe lacks order; it’s chaotic. Of course, it’s easier to see things as the cruelty of God than it is to see them as a result of the world’s disorder. Having survived a serious accident, sometimes, people say in consolation, “I’m convinced that God exists. I survived only because He wanted to save me!” What should we think of their relatives killed in the same accident? Were their lives less valuable to God than they were? People’s lives depend on unbelievable turns of fate. Tectonic shifts generate hurricanes and tsunamis, which leads to accidents at a nuclear power plant. Complex processes in the atmosphere cause a drought, resulting in a lost harvest, which brings on a famine. One piece of equipment on an airliner fails, and a hundred people die…
It wasn’t God’s Will. It wasn’t a deliberate killing of specific individuals as a warning to the world. Randomness, chaos, and uncertainty rule the world. Nevertheless, we must fight the chaos, not dropping our hands in surrender to it! Natural phenomena aren’t moral or immoral in nature. If an airplane crashes into a house, we shouldn’t think why God wanted to kill some and leave others alive. We must engage our human intellect in the pursuit of the knowledge of the laws of nature to search for an answer to the question of how to prevent such disasters and save lives. Sometimes, it suffices to find out who built a house in violation of the housing code and to discover those who didn’t properly prepare the aircraft for its flight. Of course, such recognition is disappointing. It’s much easier to cope with life if one thinks that He knows everything, He can do everything, and everything happens according to His plan… but there’s another side to this view of the world. If the troubles pursuing us in our times don’t come from God, then, He’s on our side. Believers don’t turn to God due to eternal rewards or punishment… they’re looking for God’s comfort and assistance in their everyday affairs. That’s an important point. Sometimes, when faced with tragedy, we console ourselves by saying that what happened isn’t as bad as it seems to us, because it’s not the only one of its kind in the world, there are many other examples of the same thing out there. Everything will work out in the end…
This public opinion poll regarding the afterlife shouldn’t upset the Church’s hierarchs. In reality, many churched and unchurched people just rely on the hope of a very different and better life, with a changed order of justice, where they’ll receive a reward for enduring the current chaos. This allows us to do nothing in this life. Once one realises that everything’s predestined, it’s not particularly worth it to do anything about it. Everything happens by itself, it’s according to the Supreme Will. Unfortunately, none of us living on Earth can confirm the reality of another world. We know what happens to the bodies of the deceased. We believe that the human soul doesn’t die. However, in that other world, does the soul exist without a body? Once there, how can we find souls, if they aren’t incarnate? Moreover, what happens with mentally retarded children who die young? Are they whole there?
Faith in a world where suffering will find surcease in peace and tranquillity, and where we’ll find reward for all that we suffered in this world, certainly, helps one to keep one’s sanity. However, does that faith eliminate the need of having to do something in this, the terrestrial world? Isn’t such an idea the outgrowth of a peculiar fatalism found in Russian society, synonymous with apathy and mental laziness? Isn’t this the reason for our amazingly indifferent attitude to the current confusion in Russia and our reluctance to make the changes necessary for a better future… whether of our own or of our children’s? Perhaps, the afterlife exists in a form that isn’t perceptible to our mundane imagination. However, since we have no solid evidence for the existence of another world, shouldn’t we live and act as if it doesn’t exist, leaving nothing undone in this world?
Московский Комсомолец (Moskovsky Komsomolets : Moscow Komsomol Member), as quoted in Interfax-Religion
http://www.interfax-religion.ru/?act=print&div=13158
This is NOT an anti-religious or irreligious piece, despite the last sentence. Let’s look at it, again:
However, since we have no solid evidence for the existence of another world, shouldn’t we live and act as if it doesn’t exist, leaving nothing undone in this world?
This is NOT a statement of disbelief… rather, it’s a statement that we shouldn’t excuse inactivity using the excuse of God’s justice (“pie in the sky when you die”). It’s a statement of radical belief in Free Will… which is the foundation of Orthodox Christianity. Supine submission in the face of a predetermined course of events ordained by an all-powerful Divine Will isn’t Christian; it’s the Muslim concept of Kismet (fate). Yet, note how the Sectarian scummers harp on “God has a plan for your life”. They’re just like Wahabbi Muslims in that! That’s howlingly funny; as the Sectarians hate Muslims… but they’re the closest of all “Christians” (it’s open to question whether Sectarians are Christian… I’d say “No”) to them! Just look at their iconoclasm and bibliolatry… it’s identical to the attitudes found in the more radical currents in Islam.
Let’s be blunt. The Church teaches us that we live in a fallen world, and that we live under its laws. Why? We chose it! Pure and simple… there’s no other answer. God respects our choice; He gave us what we wanted, even though it wasn’t good for us or for the created universe. That’s what Free Will is all about… we aren’t puppets manipulated by a Divine Puppeteer. Not only is faith not an excuse for inaction, it’s a goad to active pursuit of justice. We have the option to act or to be passive… if we choose not to act, we’re culpable before Almighty God for that abuse of our Free Will. He lays this obligation upon all of us, without exception. Therefore, to be silent in the face of egregious abuse by either secular or ecclesial authority is sinful… it’s spitting in the face of Almighty God Himself. We not only have the right to speak out, we have an outright obligation as Christians to do so, or face the Divine Wrath as unbelievers.
Denise’s death wasn’t God’s punishment for her sins… it was due to the nature of our fallen world. My loss of a good-paying job wasn’t God’s judgement… it was due to the greed of the shareholders of the corporation that I once worked for.

Filed under: Christian,Orthodox life,religious,USA — 01varvara @ 00.00 There’s much talk in some quarters of “20 year strategic plans” and “mission statements”. I submit that all such is stuff n’ nonsense… vacuous twaddle only fit for the rubbish tip. HERE’s the REAL DEAL. Some Orthodox priests decided to bless the graves of Orthodox Christians buried in the cemetery of Carlise Indian School in PA. That’s the real “seed” of growth… it’s not grasping apparatchiki or self-important “experts” producing papers that no one will read and that no one will implement. What a concept… “My Father’s House is a house of prayer”… I’ll say “Amen” to that.
For those wishing to offer Pannikhida for the Orthodox of Carlise Indian School, here’s a list that was given to me:
Annie (Anna) Verskin. 30 September 1900, 11 years old, here only two months!
Anastasia Achwack. 20 June 1904, 16 years old, died of valvular heart disease as well as TB
Sophia Tetoff. 6 May 1906, died of TB; funeral services conducted by Father Ganss at 16.00 7 May 1906, 17 years old
Pariskovia Freidoff. 29 April 29, 1906; 19 years old

The Land of Whatever: What Might've Been: Gidget (1965)
Gidget reran on WWOR back in the 80s and New Gidget turned up in syndication not long after. The original show was OK - about par for the course as far as 60s sitcoms went. You could see Field's perkiness early on, and you knew she'd land on her feet somewhere eventually.
It wasn't until later on before I realized Pete Duel was her brother in law! Talk about a talent gone to waste! He was doing so well when he landed on Alias Smith & Jones! If he had lived he might have gone on to much bigger things too - perhaps in film.
Believe it or not, I thought New Gidget was a better sitcom.
I was introduced to Jonny Tillotson thanks to his singing the theme song! He had a few hits on the country charts as well as the pop charts IIRC.
My parents preferred country, but the stations we listened to were stuck on the usual suspects (Cash, Waylon, Buck Owens, et al), and Tillotson would only get played periodically......

Olympia Carry On Upright Luggage - Overstock Shopping - The Best Prices Online
Olympia - Carry On Upright Luggage
Olympia O-Tron 18-inch Expandable Carry-on Spinner Upright Suitcase
Good carry on
Used is as a main bag for a 2-week overseas trip. Great size for a light packer. Worked well traveling on public transport, but a bit difficult to wheel on cobblestone streets--what isn't though? Olympia 'Titan' 22-inch Hardside Carry-on Spinner Upright
shellrose
This bag is very well built. I was replacing a hard sided with clips instead of zipper model like this one. I love the expansion feature. The zipper is very strong. I think I'm going to buy it's bigger brother!
Nice Average Carry-on Luggage
The color is great, space is great, but the wheels on this thing is plastic cheap. It would get stuck or not roll smoothly.
Using for first time. Seems fine. Hoping it lasts
Zippers are always a problem on every case I ever bought. Olympia O-Tron 22-inch Expandable Carry-on Spinner Upright Suitcase
Love it! Perfect size. The wheels are a little cantankerous! They prefer to roll along side and kind of hang up when attempting to pull behind. Olympia O-Tron 22-inch Expandable Carry-on Spinner Upright Suitcase
voluminous carry-on
voluminous carry-on has a good capacity for more items, is lightweight, and comfortable spinner
Ready for my cruise!
It's beautiful and roomy and I can even use it as a carry-on!
This carry-on is well made and roomy. I like the outside pockets which are roomier than most and the spinner wheels make it perfect!
Can't wait to travel!

I haven't had new luggage in 11 years since I was an exchange student and I have struggled with purchasing new luggage because I never found just what I wanted. Or I bought it used it once and it broke! It was even harder to shop online, BUT... When these came in the mail yesterday I was blown away! The quality looks amazing, the hybrid style looks very durable! I was waiting to receive them to decide if I wanted a larger one to check as well and I was thrilled to order the 25" last night! I can't wait to use this luggage in my travels over the next few months, the plum is so sharp and my boyfriend loved his orange carry-on. It's great to have his and hers luggage in the same style, but different colors. Also the inside is so organized and I love the zippered mesh pockets! I will re-post if there are any issues in my travels, but right now I can't wait to get on a plane with these bags! :) I will say though in terms of price, I was surprise that the 25" cost the same as a carry on... We spent $240 on two carry on bags and a 25". We (as with many people) didn't need two large checked bags so buying the set for a slightly cheaper price didn't make sense. We needed two carry-on bags and one checked bag at least to match my carry-on, maybe another in the future to match his. I was surprised by the cost being the same, but am thrilled to own this luggage! Love the hybrid style and I'm glad I didn't buy a full hard-case suit case!
As airline regulations become more stringent, more people are packing lighter and using carry-on luggage . Knowing the restrictions for your airline will help you avoid additional checked baggage fees or problems on the plane. While every airline has its own rules, most luggage regulations are very similar. Before buying your new luggage , read about carry-on rules. Restrictions for Carry-Ons: Shop Carry-On Luggage ▸ Size Most carriers permit any carry-on luggage at or below 45 inches. Calculate the size of your carry-on bag by adding the length, width, and height together. Read More

Great location and stylish apartment, host is really responsive no issues with the hospitality. Unfortunately you are overlooking a building site at the moment but very central and great for moving around LA.
Great spot for a night out in DTLA. Would highly recommend due to its close proximity to restaurants and night life. Alexander is a great host who communicated everything to me in advance.
We, absolutely, loved that Alexander’s place was located right downtown LA and minutes away from shops, bars, and restaurants! The apartment was very pretty and tons of security, so we felt very safe.
Beautiful apartment! Heart of downtown LA, it ended up being 5 mins from our venue. Beds and linens were so comfortable. We appreciated the coffee and creamer. Great communication with host.
Cute and quaint and perfect for a weekend getaway!
Great location! Subpar cleaning done prior to our arrival. Otherwise good experience

EMLX to MBOX Windows or Mac? Here’s the Answer! – USL Software
EMLX to MBOX Windows or Mac? Here’s the Answer!
Date: December 22, 2017Author: Andrew Condon 0 Comments
EMLX to MBOX Windows conversion or directly in Mac? We answer this question here in this post and will let you know what’s the best way forward for this email conversion.
EMLX to MBOX Windows or Mac?
EMLX to MBOX conversion is often implied when a user has to move from Mac Mail to other clients supporting MBOX. Since MBOX is a generic file format used by many software email clients, this process of converting the EMLX files to MBOX means moving Mac Mail data to clients like Thunderbird and more.
Convert EMLX to MBOX (Windows vs Mac)
But you may have question what’s the best EMLX to MBOX Windows converter and why do you need to do it in Windows when the files are primarily associated with Mac Mail and Mac OS X?
Unfortunately, most of the utilities to perform this job are for Windows and always have been, most users go on to find the Windows tool and that’s what they get.
But it shouldn’t be too surprising that EMLX to MBOX Windows tools don’t work efficiently or even with accuracy. It’s not surprising because both files are for Mac Mail and runs on Mac environment.
The answer should be pretty clear that it’s not a good way to convert EMLX to MBOX in Windows but in Mac. But that begs another question, what’s a good Mac compatible tool since all others are in Mac.
We’re glad that you asked that question. In the passages below, we will be talking about one of the smartest Mac based applications from USL Software that is equipped with features you need to pull this task easily. It’s an otherwise too long and demanding process to go through with Windows ones.
The Best and Mac Tool to Convert EMLX to MBOX
The tool we are talking about is “Mail Extractor Max” and is offered by USL Software. USL Software has always been at the forefront of innovation when it comes to email migration. They have often take an unconventional route that ends with unmatched quality and efficacy that the typical tools lack in. “Mail Extractor Max” is exactly that: an unconventional but the best approach to move Mac Mail data to MBOX files.
What makes “Mail Extractor Max” the best?
Let’s clear the first few obvious things. It runs on your Mac, and since the files in question are for Mac environment, you get the best results that a Windows tool can never catch up with. Secondly, it’s not an EMLX to MBOX converter, but offers something far better to get your Mac Mail data into MBOX files.
The tool can automatically load your entire database and gets the content ready for conversion to MBOX without any other manual step. This makes it surprisingly quick and intuitive to use. Instead of going through your profile directory and looking for EMLX files, you simply get to click on “Load” and the entire set of contents are ready for conversion.
This approach also improves accuracy many folds. In fact, with “Mail Extractor Max,” you will get perfect conversion with precision, meaning, nothing would be converted with partial details. You will get to preserve folder hierarchy, non-English text, images, attachments, metadata, and more. In other words, the tool creates a replica of your Mac Mail database in the MBOX format keeping everything else same.
Try it today to Convert EMLX to MBOX
Check it out – https://www.mailextractormax.com/.
There’s a free trial version for you to help make up your mind, see it working in action, and get comfortable with its interface without having to get one of the licenses. The trial edition limits the items to ten per folder for conversion, but lets you closely examine the entire set of features and the full functionality.
If you are looking for EMLX to MBOX Converter for Mac, then try ‘Mail Extractor Max‘.

I came here with my partner for a day trip in SF and this place is AMAZING. Everything is so clean and nice! This place was very affordable and stylish. There were a lot of restaurants nearby in walkable distance. This place is definitely for people who love dogs! My partner and I stayed up a couple hours playing tug and getting to know the dog, who is very sweet and loving. The host is amazing and very nice. This definitely added to our experience. I really loved staying here for the night.

The place was clean and easy to get to after the first time! Parking was easy in front of the house or down the street. The WiFI was not working well but Maury had it fixed the second day we were there.

Stay was good. House is well situated , walking distance to bart and some of the cool neighbourhoods :-) . Maury, was friendly host , the flat was clean, well equipped. In short, a good experience .

Maury's place was great - spacious, private, and very close to cafes, restaurants and parks.
La estadia eatuvo genial, todo tal cual la descripción. El vecindario es tranquilo y confortable y el lugar muy limpio

The studio is clean with a very nice remodeled bathroom. Check-in was painless as the home manual is very detailed on how to get to the location and how to access it once you've arrived. Wifi and cable TV are available and also covered in the manual. The location was close enough downtown where commuting wasn't difficult at all. Our Uber and Lyft drivers had no problems finding it, but the roads are tight. If you decide to walk back to the house, make sure you're ready for a bit of a leg workout. That being said, Precita Park is really easy to walk to from the studio and the Precita Park Cafe is a great place to grab a bite to eat and have some coffee. The only concerns we have with airbnb was that we couldn't adjust the temperature to our comfort. Although it's not hard to contact Maury and ask her to adjust it for you. Also expect to hear a lot of foot traffic in the mornings. Maury has dogs, which we did not have the pleasure of meeting, but they do get particularly excited in the morning and you can hear them scrambling about upstairs. Other than that, it's a comfortable place to stay.
This place is beautiful and clean, picture perfect like the photos. Tyler was an incredibly friendly and helpful host. Anytime I had questions or needed a recommendation he was quick to respond and very knowledgeable about the area and cuisine options. Also the complimentary snacks left in the room for my husband and me were so good!!! The location is great, we were never very far from what we wanted to see. We plan on staying with Tyler again soon in the future.

A perfect stay thanks to a perfect host. If you need somewhere to stay we highly recommend staying with David, just grab a clipper card and you can get the metro into SanFran from about $5ish return a day!! Some great little cafe's in Castro and we walked from the apartment to the Painted Ladies and through the huge park! David was amazing and helped in every way he could, home baking was exceptional (cookies on arrival) and we'd happily stay in his stylish appt again.

Good spot to stay visiting San Francisco. 15 minutes to lots of Cafes and Restaurants. A fair bit longer back up the hill, also very much depending on your consumption of food and alcohol as well as you fitness.
Peter & Jola2017-10-08T00:00:00Z
David’s place was in a good location. The private entrance was really nice, and the room itself was great. I had fresh baked cookies upon my arrival (that were delicious). David checked in to make sure there wasn’t anything extra I needed. If you’re coming to SF, you can’t go wrong with staying here.
Blair2018-01-20T00:00:00Z
Very nice apartment, by car in a few min in town, awesome view from the twin peaks (neighborhood) , David is very helpful and the selfmade cookies were soooo tasty!! Thanks a lot!
We had a wonderful time at Davids house. He was very helpful and accomodating! His place is in a really nice neighborhood and it hardly ever took more than 15min by Uber to get to the important spots in the city.

Fantastic location. Very nice room. Very private. Lots of brochures for local attractions. Fast communication responses. Made our experience great.
Stroll home from Golden Gate Park and curl up in the cozy gray armchair in this bright guest suite with modern, open shelving and plenty of natural light. Head to the beach for a day by the waves, then kick back and relax in this stylish space.
The Beach Flat has an extremely well equipped kitchen, and is perfect for longer stays if you would rather cook some meals at home.
The apartment is located in a quiet residential area, just a short walk from great coffee shops, restaurants, Ocean Beach, and Golden Gate Park. Public transit is easily accessible, and parking is plentiful and free for rental cars.
This is a lovely, charming one-bedroom apartment in the west side of San Francisco within walking distance of Ocean Beach and Golden Gate Park. Simone, the owner, is very calm, friendly and helpful. Our travel plans had gone somewhat awry and she was very accommodating - we felt welcomed and comfortable. I highly recommend this Airbnb stay!
This is such a lovely place to stay at! Our first trip to San Francisco and it was nice to be able to come home to a comfortable place. Hosts were amazing. Our flight came in earlier than check in time and We were allowed to check in earlier. Room was just as described. I definitely recommend staying here. The house was conveniently located to everything which is a plus. It really felt like coming home after a long day of sight seeing. Beautifully decorated and has all the necessities needed for your stay.
Simone's place was exactly as described. It was spotless! Strawberries and granola bars were out for us when we arrived. The robes and slippers were a nice touch. We used Uber most of the time which we found to be more convenient than driving ourselves.
Simone was awesome! She was very accommodating, helpful and her place was amazing. She welcomed us with champagne and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay!
Tori and Matt2016-11-25T00:00:00Z
Simone's place is amazing. Such a beautiful, cozy home that makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door. Everything you could ever need is readily available and Simone makes you feel right at home. We can't wait to return!
Simone's was the perfect space for us to rest and call home base, while we visited the city! The neighborhood is quiet, safe, near the beach, close to MUNI access, and not too far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The place is cute, stylish, cozy, and provides all the basic needs plus some extras! Her personal touches are thoughtful and convenient!! We Hope to stay at Simone's again!!
Carrie2017-12-11T00:00:00Z
Perfect location close to ocean beach and public transport to downtown SF, very charming studio with well equipped kitchen. Simone perfect host very helpful!

Very welcoming place. When we arrived there were chocolates and a bottle of wine waiting for us. Cozy and comfortable king bed. Everything you need. The outdoor area is wonderful. Kathy was very helpful when when we lost a code to get in and made sure we were taken care of.
Booking was Kathy was quick and easy, she was a great communicator, which included providing additional information to me a few days before our stay. Our family of four had no problems locating the apartment , finding parking and easily entered using a garage keypad. The apartment is small, good for a couple of people and has a nice view of the succulent garden. We enjoyed having access to cable TV while relaxing before sleeping. There is a sleeper sofa, that has seen better days. After sleeping on the springs covered by cloth my teenage and adult daughters begged my husband and I to allow them to sleep in the king bed with us! So yes, the four of us slept in a king bed for the remainder of our stay. We made the best of it with three sleeping side by side and one person at the foot of the bed. I highly recommend not renting to more than two adults until the couch situation is rectified. We were also surprised to find a lack of curtains or window covering in the bathroom and in the main room where the king bed is located. I understand a need for natural lighting but it would be nice to have the option of closing a curtain to change clothes, shower and use the restroom. We improvised and used a towel in the bathroom to cover the window. Also, during of our stay we struggled to find the source of gnats and a musty odor. Overall these are fixable issues and the apartment is a good value for the location and ease of use.
Excellent location. Absolutely lovely and charming place. Kathy and Matt were so kind. Can not wait to visit again!
ill be staying again if i come back to sf. Super nice family , thank you
Gusti2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

Matt and Kat were very accommodating and made everything really simple. The location is great and the place is awesome! Very comfortable bed and safe neighborhood.
Tu2015-01-26T00:00:00Z
Really great hosts. Communication was excellent, plus the apartment is very stylish and has everything that you need. The park (which is excellent) is just opposite. Really enjoyed our stay, we would highly recommend.
Kathy and Matt’s space is really nice, it has everything you need and it’s very closed to the Golden Gate Bridge and golden gate park, hosts are very friendly and helpful when you need something. Definitely recommend this place for your stay in San Francisco.

Nice place, great localisation in a quiet neighborhood, next to bart station. Owner always ready to help or facilitate your stay.

Non-Related Legal Guardianship (NRLG) benefits and residing outside of guardian’s home | AB 12 Question of the Week
Non-Related Legal Guardianship (NRLG) benefits and residing outside of guardian’s home
Question: My question is about non-related legal guardianship (NRLG) case (non-probate). If the youth is in college and still receiving support from the guardian but does not live in the home of the guardian full-time (i.e. lives in a dorm or something), is the guardian still able to receive extended benefits?
Answer: Yes. As long as the guardian is providing support to the youth, they can receive the AFDC-FC benefits even if the youth is at college. The funding has to be paid to the NRLG. It cannot be paid directly to the youth, as it would if the youth were living in a SILP. (See ACL 11-69, p. 15)
Tagged foster youth, legal guardianship
One thought on “Non-Related Legal Guardianship (NRLG) benefits and residing outside of guardian’s home”
So when filling out the FAFSA, will the NCLG be able to claim independent status or will s/he be dependent due to NRLG still getting benefits and supporting the youth at college?

Confessions | Frugal + Urban | Page 2
September 14, 2010 ~ c	~ 1 Comment
So, tomorrow night is pay time, and how did we do with our week and a half of minimal spending? Not so great, it turns out.
On the weekend, I had a sudden craving for the Nature, so we rented a car on Saturday and headed out to Gatineau park. It was great (except for “sharing the road” with a million cyclists in the park–why oh why didn’t someone at the National Capital Commission think to install bike lanes throughout the park???). We saw frogs, beavers, a cute cabin with a woodstove and delicious cedar scented walls. I came back refreshed and filled up with green, woodsy air.
Then afterwards we drove out to Alpenblick farm and bought some of their pasture raised meat. It was fantastic–we got to meet their ponies, goats, llama, sheep, cows, dog, cat, and pig, all happily roaming around the property. We got an education in their farming methods, which come from the Swiss Alps, and on the nutritional value of organic and pasture raised food. I recommend a visit to anyone in the area interested in pastured meat.
Then on Sunday I finally picked up my bucket of wheat from Castor River Farm at the Lansdowne Market. Yay! I now have what seems to be a limitless supply of wheatberries to turn into delicious nutritious food for my family. I was glad to still have the car to pick up the bucket because it was HEAVY!
All this ran us a pretty high bill, but apart from the car and gas (around $55), it was all food expenditure that will last us a good long time, not to mention bringing healthy organic locally raised food to our table.
One frugal decision was to pull our girl out of preschool. She loved it last year, but this year the classes are shorter, and none of her friends are there any more. She missed them so much! So we’re done with that, and will be taking advantage of the free school-board-run play group four mornings a week. The friends we missed at preschool go to play group three days a week, so we really get the best of both worlds.
At the end of the month we’ll assess everything, but I feel confident that we’re going to be doing okay with the one-income living.
Now what shall I do with my bucket o’ wheat? Stay tuned for a discussion on sprouted grain flour.

I love my bike. I really really love it. A friend gave it to me for free a few years ago and I appreciate that every time I ride it. It hasn’t logged all that many miles–certainly not as many as the bike I rode when I was young and carefree in Montreal and Toronto. That bike got me home from many bars, late nights at work, and other adventures across town. I loved that bike too, but this bike is different.

Running For Runnings sake?!: Parkrun - The Hunting For The Illusive PB
All beginners are no longer beginners. Some have already joined PWR and some will find it difficult to get to club runs on a Tuesday. But what we have done is steered them into parkrun junkies! I met up with Naggy Neighbour and then I picked up Tracy and headed for the park.
There were quite a few cars already parked up, I managed to find a space. Tracy met up with Tracey and then we all made our way over to the start, which is right over the other side of the park! We are back to the summertime route. I love this route so much better than the winter one!
We had about 3 minutes to get to the start. We had to run for just a short bit, a bit of a warm up! Once there among the other 600+ runners we had a couple of minutes left. I met up with Carole and Michael! They were back for some more parkrun life! Maybe with their eyes firmly set on getting a teeshirt with no.50 on the back!
But before we could have a proper chat we were off. With no-one to mentor I decided that I would try and get a pb! Ridiculous idea really, the temperature must the the highest morning record so far this year! Although there were clouds about, the sun still shone in the bright blue sky! As usual I took of way to fast! And in the heat of the morning I soon started to flag....big time.
So I told myself all the things I tell beginners to do, I used all the visual landmarks to run to, I tried the nagging, the shouting at, the motivational speaking to keep myself running at all costs. But I failed! Tut. And so the disappointment creeps in! And I shouldn't feel disappointed! The fact is, I am out here, running 5k on a gorgeous sunny morning!
I chatted with pals along the way, Becky, saw me and we ran together, keeping each other going. They Carole and Michael passed me by! They actually overtook me! See what I mean about me going off to fast! It really is all about the pacing! When I am running by myself I do seem to push myself too fast and I burn out, and in this weather it was pretty soon! I ran up to Carole and Michael and ran with them for a while, but my legs......or at least my mind telling my legs that they can go on! So I walked, I walked along till Becky caught up with me. We both watched as Carole started to get further ahead of us. I was feeling bloody proud as punch watching her and Michael. And of course I felt bloody annoyed that I was not doing what I set out to do! While we were running down the long straight I could hear behind me, "On your right" I stepped to the left a bit and waited for the inevitable overtaking "On your right!" the voice said again "ON YOUR RIGHT!" he shouted loudly.
How very rude I thought, "Ok, calm down!" I heard someone say behind me. I thought 'Good for you." I wished I had said something to you. Now parkrun, it's an all inclusive FREE timed 5k run. All are welcome, from the elites to the hip replacement patients, to the mums to be and the wooden legged men! Not only that, but Normans park is exactly that, a park, with kids playing, people walking their dogs, or just walking! We all know the protocol really, we all know that we will be passed by and we usually, of course, let them get by. Being shouted out because he was on for a new shiny PB is no excuse for his rudeness! That there is enough to stop new runners for continuing with parkrun, that little bit of intimidation right there!
Anyway, rant over, back to my blog. Its understandable of course, you can't drink beer and burn the candle at both ends if you're trying or I should say, when I am trying to get a PB. I need to have a nice, totally relaxed Friday night and then go chase my PB. Any other times should be just for fun! So after I decided that I wasn't going to get what I wanted I concentrated on just getting around, just having fun, chatting along with Becky. It was tough, I didn't stop trying to keep a good pace going, but the heat was just taking it out of me. There was to be no PB, not today.
Running down the long straight for the last time I said to Becky that we should aim to run this last bit non stop......we tried, I think I stopped just once, and only for a few seconds and then I was back to it. I even found a 'race' someone who was walking in front of me. I decided that I was going to run and overtake her before we get to the funnel! I did it. I felt a little better about myself after that.
Anyway, here's my geeky stats, not a fast run today, but still a good run!

10 pool WAY over chlorinated - Quality Inn Historic East - Busch Gardens Area Traveller Reviews - TripAdvisor
10 pool WAY over chlorinated - Quality Inn Historic East - Busch Gardens Area Traveller Reviews
We pick this location based off of the ratings on this site and another. Nice thing about the place, you can walk to the Colonial Williamsburg.
We paid upfront for this hotel through Choice Hotels, which meant no refunds. did save $$$
Stay was June 2-8 2013
1) Floors are soooo old they appear to be dirty. We made sure we had at least socks on at all times.
2) Elevator sounds like it is ready to drop, extremely slow, you never know if the doors will open
3) Stairs? dark as hell stinks, dirty, narrow, and have to miss water pipes
4) Hallways dark and musty smelling
5) room dark and musty smelling
6) room had wall repairs recently done. How I know? They never painted the repaired section of the wall.
7) remote control to TV no back cover, batteries taped into place
8) took nearly 15 minutes to get hot water, so times it would get hot in a couple minutes. Like if you are the first person in the entire hotel (not room) taking a shower, you will not get hot water for 15 minutes.
9) mini fridge freezer looked like it had mold in it. The door would close unless you left up and pushed closed. we kept filling our ice bucket up to keep our perishables cool.
10) pool WAY over chlorinated. The water was practically white!
11) house cleaning only made the beds and picked up towels. We stayed 6 nights, not one day did the floor get vacuumed in the room. How i know? I split some of my Pringles on the floor. left it figuring they would just get vacuumed up. It rained on Monday. We had muddy shows Monday night and Tuesday night. The mud droppings still there when we checked out on Saturday!
Nothing about this hotel was Quality. Definitely not up to Choice Hotels standards
Ask Rocketcuse about Quality Inn Historic East - Busch Gardens Area
Chad L, General Manager at Quality Inn Historic East - Busch Gardens Area, responded to this reviewResponded 12 June 2013
Good Morning Rocketcuse,
I do sincerely apologize that you had such an experience. I can assure you that our carpet is clean as we do get them cleaned every 6 months. Our elevator is old as the hotel was built in 1978, however it is in great working condition as the state inspects it annually and our elevator company inspects it monthly. The stairwells do have pipes in them, but as I have walked the stairwells and have seen no places where you "have to miss the water pipes." I do agree that the hallways are not as ventilated as we would like with the PTAC units compared to central heat/air. I do apologize that the remote did not have a back on it and I will definitely discuss that with the housekeeping staff. We actually painted the wall patch in room 226 yesterday. We have been extremely busy and with all the king bed rooms being reserved over the last couple weeks we decided to hold off to paint the patch as the odor from the paint is too overwhelming for the room to be painted and then rented. As for the hot water, we have had no reported issues with it taking an extreme amount of time for guests to receive hot water, but we will definitely investigate the issue. The pool chemicals are inspected everyday and our pool service company inspects the chemicals three times per week. We have seen low levels of chlorine, but have not seen higher levels of cholorine than what is deemed as acceptable by the State of Virginia. I will personally investigate the issue of the room not being vacuumed. I thank you for your feedback, however I would have like the chance to resolve the issues to make your stay the most enjoyable, if they would have been brought to my attention during your 6 night stay.
good enough and close enough to williamsburg

Chad L, General Manager at Quality Inn Historic East - Busch Gardens Area, responded to this reviewResponded 1 June 2013
Good Afternoon 1CDFam1,
I sincerely apologize about your experience and I do thank you for your feedback. I can not agree with you more about rooms that may smell like smoke. I will definitely share this with the housekeeping staff to ensure if a non-smoking rooms smells like smoke to report it to the front desk and take the necessary actions to get the room smelling clean and fresh for the next guest arriving! Also, I thank you for the staff compliments and I will most definitely give kudos to Stefania for making your stay as enjoyable as possible. We do pride ourselves on great staff service and I thank you for giving us a second chance. When you are in the Williamsburg area again, please call me directly and I will personally ensure your stay is not only enjoyable, but memorable!
