What is radiology?
Radiology is the study of images of the human body.
Should I notify the technologist if I am pregnant or think I may be pregnant?
Yes, you should always notify the technologist if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant.
Why do I need to arrive 15 minutes before my actual appointment time?
We want to ensure you have enough time to be registered and complete the required forms.
Who will perform my exam?
All exams are performed by highly trained certified technologists. Some procedures are performed by a board-certified radiologist.
What should I do after the exam?
With oral contrast or IV contrast, you should drink plenty of fluids after the procedure.
Will I need to return for additional images?
It is not uncommon for the radiologist to request additional imaging to obtain more detailed information of a specific area.
Why do I need IV contrast?
IV contrast helps radiologists see certain body parts such as veins and arteries that help them identify and characterize certain diseases.
Will I be allergic to the contrast?
A small percentage of patients will have an allergic reaction to iodinated contrast. You should alert your doctor if you have had any reaction in the past, and you may be given medication to prevent a repeat reaction.
What is the difference between a CT scan and an MRI?
A CT scan uses X-rays to generate images while an MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves.
How long does a CT scan take?
The length of time varies with the type of study. Some can be performed in less than five minutes; others may take up to 30 minutes or longer.
Does MRI use X-rays?
No. MRI images are created through a combination of radio waves, a powerful electromagnet and an advanced computer system to coordinate and compile data.
Is MRI safe?
MRI is a completely noninvasive, painless procedure and has been demonstrated to be safe, but you must remain still for the 45- to 60-minute exam.
What if I am claustrophobic?
Mild sedatives, earplugs, eye covers and earphones with music are offered to help relieve your anxiety.
How long does an MRI take?
MRI exams take between 45 to 60 minutes to complete.
Can a friend come into the MRI room with me?
Yes. One person may accompany you in the magnet room after they have been properly screened for metal.
When should I schedule my mammogram?
Schedule your mammogram after you obtain a prescription from your doctor. Your doctor should perform a clinical breast examination, and you should discuss any problems you may have with your breasts. Usually the best time for your mammogram is one week after your menstrual cycle when your breasts are less tender.
Why do I need to bring my prior films?
If you have had prior studies, it is in your best interest to bring any films as well as any reports with you. In some cases, it may prevent the need for you to return for additional imaging if the radiologist has prior studies to compare your results with.
What do I need to do to prepare for my mammography?
On the day of your examination:
- Remember to bring your prescription, health insurance card and photo ID with you.
- Do not wear any deodorant, creams, lotions or powders.
- Inform the technologist if there may be a chance you could be pregnant.
What should I expect during my mammography?
The technologist will ask you to remove any jewelry and clothing from the waist up and will give you a gown with the opening to the front. The technologist will help guide and position your breasts on the platform of the machine. A compression paddle will compress your breasts to evenly spread out breast thickness so that small abnormalities will not be obscured. You will be asked to change positions in between images. This is repeated for each breast.
What will I experience during the mammography exam?
The examination takes approximately a half an hour. Some women with sensitive breasts may feel minor discomfort. During the examination, you will feel pressure on the breasts as they are compressed. The technologist should be informed if any pain is significant as compression is increased during the examination. The technologist will use less compression if necessary.
When will my doctor get the report?
The studies are processed, interpreted by a radiologist and communicated to your physician within 24 hours of the exam.
How will I receive the results of my exam?
Our radiologists are board certified by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and will interpret your study. You will receive the results of your exam by mail within a few days. Your referring physician will receive the actual report. Any suspicious findings are faxed to your referring physician immediately, and you will be notified by mail.

Inconsitencies of religion.... Yes, that is one of the key arguments for atheism. But the inconsistencies of atheism are what many religious people use as a key argument. Also, there is no way for God to be proven, and if you quote the bible... I will lose it, because the Bible is a book, nothing more. It is assumed to be God's message to mankind, when in reality it could be anything, from his message to the rambling of mentally unstable men, and possibly women. I am atheist/agnostic, because I don't like what I'm told about religion. I am told I am going to burn for eternity because I'm atheist, because I'm gay, because I listen to rock music, because I listen to hip hop, I've lost count of the reasons that I'm going to hell. If that is the God that is all good and all loving, I'll take eternal damnation, at least the Devil isn't a hypocrite.
This may be off-topic, but I belief it helps my argument.
From what I can tell, believing in God is just an easy way out of everyday life, because it gives you the belief that if you live this way, follow this doctrine, and repent for your sins, you will go to heaven and live eternal bliss. It makes many people disregard the present, the now. How many Christians, Evangelicals, etc., have said that Global Warming is a lie, is alarmism, is atheist propagande?? They deny it, because they "know" that after their time on Earth, that they will be able in the perfect place for them, and they "know" that whatever happens, will not matter, because they will get into heaven because of their beliefs, and whatever comes, will be God's wrath against mankind for it's sins.
Many religious people say that Atheists are unwilling to believe, but what about them? They are unwilling to belief that they may be wrong, that the Atheists are the right ones, and that when they die, they will rot in the ground.
Tell me, are those weak arguments?
I am Atheist/Agnostic, and proud of it. I know that I am not tied to any organization that will influence me, I know that I will have the most unbiased opinion on everyday life that I can as a human being, and I know that I will live for NOW, I will live as a good person, and I will NOT follow a doctrine that teaches me to either hate or dismiss those who don't share my beliefs.

The Transition to Agile
The Transition To Agile
Three years ago I went for Scrum master training and the lady conducting the training was really furious, saying Agile will be dead in few years' time because majority of teams do not really understand Agile; yet they claim to be following it. This, she said, is bringing bad reputation to the framework itself. It is only with time that I understand her concern about making the transition to Agile.
Agile is about Change.
While using Agile at enterprise level is complex, this should not be confused with Agile in general. We all know that Agile is about change but there's always one critical function that is overlooked. Infrastructure and Development are always changing their ways – better coding, better technology, better environment infrastructure and more. Somehow, the testing group is "forgotten" when things change. This is the fundamental reason why organizations fail to truly transition to agile. So, how can we help organizations make the transition to be successful and include QA? The initial step before making any transition from traditional testing to agile testing is to realize that development teams are always in transition, searching for ways to not only improve development but to increase the pace of releases, creating new software systems and to be better. When this happens, testing lags behind.
Why Testing Lags Behind
As much of a proponent for testing as firms like Awesome QA are, the challenge lies in the testing focus not evolving. Organizations need to help the testing team evolve from the more traditional approach to agile testing. But it isn't easy. IT leaders need to not only adopt Agile to accept their change for business but to help all teams make that transition.
In recent observations and discussions amongst various conferences regarding testing, it is becoming more and more known that so many testing groups want to make the change but don't know how. Part of this comes from the lack of agile knowledge in the testing leadership but that can be resolved. Agile is just like traditional testing but with a different mindset. The testing skills don't change – the mindset of the testing process and how to make agile testing successful needs to change.
One report, published in January 2017 by Christina Cardoza, outlined the statistic that seventy percent of the companies that responded to a survey clearly made the transition to agile, only 30% utilized automation as a testing principle. Other types of problems occur when automated testing is not utilized effectively, testing time increases due to change in requirements, lack of requirements, and not enough response time to allow testing to be effective. These, of course, are just a few of the typical situations that occur in organizations.
Evolving Testing
Testing needs to become an Agent of Change! The mindset is the first step in making this evolution; but there are other important steps as well. These steps sound realistic and they are full proof for organizations to consider after the change in mindset regarding traditional testing.
1. Automation
So much discussion has taken place regarding automation and the need for systems to be stable, automation is better if done at the end of traditional testing only, and so forth. These are ILLUSIONS! They work but in today's changing technology, the need to deliver faster and better, it just won't work. Test Automation, if done correctly, will better equip the agile developers with what they need to develop at the expected quick pace. Traditional manual testers must embrace test automation. But even though not all test automation is applicable and efficient, API testing is essentially the key. This method is part of the evolution of testing.
2. Prioritize the Testing
As discussed above, the leverage of automation is essential. But, when does testing occur? What is tested? Prioritizing the testing is fundamental to the process. If the testing team can leverage the API testing, for example, as soon as the first layer is available, manual testers can move in with other testing within the same time frame. Test leadership should know how to prioritize the testing to make this successful.
3. Communication and Leadership
This is the really the last step of the evolution process in making the transition to agile for the testing team. The right test leader, also known as the manager, can influence the testers to change. These testers, in turn, will then communicate and work effectively with Development. For example, no longer will defects be "thrown over the wall" to the developers and wait for a fix. Instead, the team is working together, discussing the defect the minute it is discovered and sometimes, a fix can be available that same day. It has happened. It works! The manager needs to empower the test team to embrace the change and become agents of change to make this transition.
What are some Agile misconceptions?
This brings us back to the story of understanding how teams are bringing bad reputation to the Agile framework. We have previously identified 6 signs why your team is not agile; below we elaborate on some common misconceptions about agile as to attest to the scrum master's conclusion:
"Prototyping!" Agile is not about prototyping but about delivering working software in small iterations.
"Requirements are described from the technical needs". Sorry! It is from the perspective of User that you describe Agile requirements. User story can refer to another system, an API consumer, another process, etc.
"Use Spread sheets to plan" Agile provides more planning opportunities. You have story boarding or project inception involving more people and a cohesive team actually building the system, weekly backlog refinement, sprint planning, tech huddles, etc.
"Agile is about demos". A demo is just to present to stakeholders what you achieved in the last sprint/iteration. This gives them the opportunity to see it in real, raise questions or even change their mind.
"Any requirements that are not clear or do not fit a sprint should be rejected by the sprint team." This is not part of Agile manifesto, but part of an internal problem of a team. Each team tends to have a set of guidelines that ensure they work consistently to the best of their effort and capabilities. The reason retrospectives are part of an Agile process is so that a team can review these guidelines, refine them and improve continuously.
"Make it simple. split it up and come back next week". This is surely not an Agile team because a self-organizing Agile team will rather say "none of us seem to understand this bit, lets take the parts we understand and can deliver in one story or give ourselves time to redefine the requirements so we build the right thing." You cannot and should not build what you don't understand.
"Let us estimate work and time efforts". Reality is estimates never work well. What takes one developer 20 hours may take another one 5 or 30 hours. Where do you draw the line? Product use simple tools to visualise story points in effort (hours) and cost (USD); these conversions are based on past performances and not what someone thinks, says or feels.
"There is no need for architecture". Well, knowledge of the big picture within a team becomes poor when we focus on smaller bits. So having no architecture is not really Agile but an internal team problem, which needs to be addressed. All complex Agile have architects orchestrating the overall system and ensuring things stick together and usually when we demos are presented to stakeholders, affected parties that have not been thought of earlier become apparent.
The Agile Challenge – Continuous Testing
The biggest challenge for organizations to make this transition to agile is really to focus on continuous testing. It's not just continuous development, but testing as well. The agile process needs to start with engaging the customer and flowing through to the testing team. Each member of the team needs to be fully vested in the transition as well as be an agent of the change! One wrong slip and the agile transition can diverge from the path to success. Organizations needs to ensure that all groups are involved and encouraged by this change to make it work. With these basic steps to help with the testing evolution, organizations will be successful.
In our previous blog post, we have discussed Agile software testing approach; if development team is willing to transition to agile, they need to change their processes to be better, and testing team must do the same. Organizations needs to adopt not just agile but the ONE TEAM concept to be successful and profitable, this we term a team Combined For Agility.

What's your opinion?
EDIT: I just realized the second pic is of a man holding a cigarette. Totally didn't notice, sorry! I'm usually careful when it comes to posting pics of people smoking on my blog because I don't endorse it. I only accidentally realized it when someone commented that these men are smoking (hot). hahaha : ) I'll try to be more careful next time!

Wellington Barn Wedding Photography – A selection from Stephanie and Jame's wedding at Wellington Barn, Manor Farm, Calstone, Calne, Wiltshire.
A fabulous day at Wellington Barn. Stephanie and Jame's wedding was filled with so many great moments to capture and they are such a fun loving couple my role on their special day was a real joy! Stephanie and James decided on a pre wedding shoot which is always a good idea if your a little uneasy having your photo taken by a professional photographer. We had a really fun afternoon shoot at Lydiard Park in Swindon and by the end of this they were both really excited about having their photo taken on their wedding day. Stephanie and James planned their wedding so well, making sure that there was plenty going on throughout the whole day. The evening reception was really ramped up with with a great band who had everyone moving, onto a sparklers tunnel which was hilarious! and finally to the grand finale with a fireworks display that was fabulous. Thanks to Stephanie and James for choosing me to capture their wonderful wedding celebration.
Welling Barn in Calne, Wiltshire, is a great wedding venue with rolling hills and spectacular views all around that stretch for miles and miles. Especially great is the stunning valley that sweeps down to the barn which is the perfect backdrop for portraits of the bride and groom. Wellington barn is one of my favourite wedding venues and not just because of the amazing views, but for the barn itself with it's high vaulted ceilings and oak beams it has a rustic charm that works so well with my style of photography. The barn has a lovely warm vibe about it and the staff are are really friendly and if you are looking for a medium to large venue to host your wedding, look no further.

We all know these guys…
Unfortunately, maturity has little to do with intelligence.
Smart men where their brains have not fully grown into adulthood.
They are the game players. They know the tricks that work.
They act the role of manipulator through any means necessary and yes, they will win sometimes.
They may even get what you want.
They will "steal your women" with little regard for you or her feelings.
The games they play often center around the weakest part of any person involved.
They act out of fear and thrive on insecurity and your fear of loss. Whether it be the loss of her, the loss of your sanity, or the loss of your maturity, they will expose your deepest weakness if you play into the game.
This is my attractive sexy life and the jealousy it can create in others.
This is my attractive sexy life and a huge warning to the men who find themselves finally beginning to understand how to attract women.
Imagine you find yourself sitting a field one day. You're happy. The sun is shining. You're enjoying the warmth on your skin and the breeze through your hair. There are also lots of people around you just doing their own thing and not paying attention to you at all.
Then suddenly, out of the corner of your eye, you notice something shiny nestled deep under the thatch. You reach down to discover its identity. Wow! A shiny half-dollar reveals itself to you. You brush off the dirt and it sparkles for everyone else to see.
Sure it's not worth very much in the scheme of the financial world but there's something about it. You found it and instantly feel a bond with it. It attracted your eye when no one else was paying attention to you. No one else was paying attention because they were too busy questioning the change in their hands.
However the moment they noticed you and your new shiny half-dollar they nervously jingled their change in their clutched hands. The sweat builds up on their palms as they squeezed and released. They squeezed and released again and again as if they wanted their change to be washed clean. They open their hand and with palm facing the sky give a blank stare at their drenched coinage.
It just doesn't look as shiny as yours!
A real mature man might ask you how you found it. He wants to learn everything about it. He wants any and all information he can get from you. His inquisitive open mind begins to produce a salivating mouth because of his eagerness to soak up your knowledge.
The immature man stares at you with distrust. He sizes you up looking for a chink in your armor. He hides in the background waiting for you to drop your guard. Premeditated or not he will do whatever necessary to steal your half-dollar.
I recently ran in to a few immature men who are thankfully not the average. I still believe most people are genuinely decent.
Here is the story and I won't hold back because some of the details are extremely important to understand how deep immaturity can go in some men.
I want you to walk away from this understanding how jealousy or a fear of loss will take over your actions.
I want you to heed this warning…
No matter where you are on your road to attraction, you're going to run into these type of guys and you must be prepared to learn how to deal with them in a mature way.
I also want you understand there are dips, valleys, huge climbs, and new levels on becoming a more attractive man and sometimes it's hard to tell when you've reached a new level and you can get discouraged because of it and fall back to an earlier state.
Let this be your insight into the most definite way in determining when you have reached that new level.
Relating this to the coin story above when you've earned that first penny someone who feels they only deserve a penny will want to take it from you. When you've earned that first nickel, there's the nickel guy waiting around the corner. When you hit that dime, quarter, half-dollar, silver dollar and so on…there will always be someone waiting there for you.
It's just the way life is and likewise the dime guy won't try to steal your quarter. The penny guy won't try to take your half-dollar. And yes, rarely, will the quarter guy steal your penny.
Now some nasty details.
I began messaging this young beautiful woman and it just so happens she likes older men.
It took a few weeks of random letters but eventually she gave me her phone number and we started talking. There was enormous amounts of sexual energy between us and things got heated up quickly.
This girl lives about twelve hours away and being the busy man I am I know I won't be meeting her too quickly. Yet our conversations were fun. Our texting was more than just sexy and I could tell immediately she had strong feelings towards me.
She also had taken several opportunities to test me on the subject of a relationship.
She did this by making it clear she knew I would not settle into one easily and she felt I only wanted her body.
Being a hot girl in her early twenties you can only imagine how many other guys were after her in one way or another but those guys were not showing much of a commitment towards her. Although one guy has known her for years and was showing signs he was finally ready. She didn't believe it much anyways. He just had not slept with her yet and she believed that is what he was after.
I can not say this enough…I have yet to physically meet this girl and until that happens consistently, I can only grow so close.
I say that again because it's frightening to know how many men suddenly begin to show their true feelings, or their true identity when they see even a threat so far away.
One man, who happens to be a few years older than me, decides to play the game of,
"But I do want you now."
"I think you are talking to him too much." (about me of course)
"Other girls have told me he is a compulsive liar."
"I know of him and he is a cock block."
He even has resorted to making sure when we are talking on the phone to constantly text her attempting to interrupt our conversations.
The sad part is, I DO know of him and up until this point I thought he was a stand up man who understood women but I was wrong.
His immature acts only proved to me he knew how to play games of a passive aggressive nature.
His intent to focus on me more than himself also proved to me his "real" confidence was much lower than he projects.
Sure women like him… mostly. Sure he understand women enough to play games with their heads. But that only gets you so far in the world of attraction.
In this case it only got him so far as to push her closer and closer to me when she realized who was the real man.
So here comes this other guy, much younger, decides to play the game of stalker.
He threatens her. He is rude to her. He is pushy and downright borderline illegal if not completely beyond the realm of the law.
When he finds out about me his acts gets worse and decides to send me a personal letter which I will not reveal. I will say it was short, not in a sentence format, and full of swear words.
A third man who seems to act nervously also decides to take to the over texting when he realizes we are talking on the phone.
He then proceeds to make it clear in public on one occasion she had fallen asleep on the phone with her. As if he's using her to make someone else jealous.
Or using her to get another woman like a close girlfriend of hers.
He most likely found out that they have had trouble in this area in their lives and probably figures he can get both easily, or one more easily by using that game.
He may even do this so other women see him talking to a hot girl to open his options.
This is a common game among men who are good-looking but lack any real attractive conversational skills.
Or done by men who I find are looking for the "easy" way out.
Again I have yet to physically meet this woman yet apparently this half-dollar I have found has jingled the change of others around me.
They do have their own change but for some reason when I have something they may not be able to "save" themselves, they put on their worst poker face and play every bluff in their book.
In order to insure my sexy life is not dragged down this is what I have done:
- Given her every opportunity to choose anyone else over me including of of them.
- Never confront them on their own level.
- Only defend when it is absolutely necessary.
- Never feel the need to prove myself to someone else. Especially her.
- Stay on my own path.
- Never let my emotions be dictated or controlled by another.
- I understand fully these men act out from their own insecurity which has nothing to do with me.
- I refuse to take it personal.
- I refuse to believe even for one minute I won this girl over them.
Again I want the men (and women) reading this to understand on your journeys in your sexy life, there will be others at each level, who want something so bad, they will do only do what they know how to do, to steal your maturity.
Watch out for them and keep your head in the real game of your life for when they begin to come from out of nowhere, it only means you're succeeding in your attractive life.
You can take the path I have chosen or you could take the path of playing defense.
I will tell you this…
When you choose to defend you will rarely, if ever, gain those needed steps to (pardon the pun), score. You will not find your next girlfriend. You will not find your next rewarding relationship. You will only succeed in doing what these men have…
And that is wasting all your energy protecting the distance you think you have come.
Remember this is my attractive sexy life and I want you have yours too so I've written this in hopes you can succeed in it.
After all when we find ourselves falling for the same girl I wish you all the best.
Just keep it above the belt with me because you're not trying to get in my pants.
You're just trying to live your own sexy life the best you can at any given moment and THAT has little to do with anyone but you.
Keep pushing forward.
Focus on YOUR goals and not hers…
And you'll become the man great women will naturally choose.

Lt. Gov. Brian Calley has named former top Oakland County economic development official Matt Gibb as his gubernatorial campaign director.
Gibb served as deputy county executive from 2011 until January 2018, which included developing many of the county's economic development and business attraction programs and initiatives.
"Lt. Gov. Calley has played a tremendous role in guiding Michigan's comeback, and he is the governor we need to keep Michigan's momentum moving forward," said Gibb. "It's an honor to join his team so we can continue the progress Michigan's made over the last 8 years."
Calley said he chose Gibb to lead his campaign team because he's one of the "most respected government and civic leaders in the state."
"He understands what it will take to bring Michigan's comeback to the next level," said Calley. "Matt is the right person to lead our forward-looking, solutions-focused campaign, and I'm excited to have him on our team."
During his time as deputy county executive, Gibb helped create the county's One Stop Ready business development program, led the county's Connected Vehicle Task Force and helped create the county's skills needs assessments, which identified in-demand positions both in the county and around the region.
The One Stop Ready Program provides resources, tools and training necessary to make the development process more efficient through a customer-friendly, solutions-oriented approach to economic development.
As deputy county executive, Gibb traveled domestically, and abroad, with local and state officials touting Oakland County as the place to invest helping to bring millions in investments to the county.

Cross-Cultural Training to Ensure Your Success Abroad
Cross-Cultural Training to Ensure Your Success Abroad
Who We Serve
In a perfect world, transitioning from one culture to the next would be fantastically simple. Expatriates would meld perfectly with the welcoming world around them, and be able to efficiently and enjoyably complete the task they set out to do, whether it be business-related, humanitarian efforts, or educational betterment. However, transitioning from one culture to the next isn't like that at all; it's like throwing a tiny pond fish into the alien environment of the open ocean. There are limitless obstacles.
Without proper cross-cultural training or cultural adaptation, expats can encounter marital issues, difficulties accomplishing work tasks, and can even experience such frustration that they terminate their involvement with the organization encouraging them to travel abroad. Overall, 64% of those sent abroad to accomplish tasks fail. That is not efficient for companies, universities, and humanitarian interests, it is painful for the individuals involved, and it is a statistic that Go Culture is determined to change.
Finally, Cultural Readiness Training
That Works…
For Your Business
Your company needs your international team to work seamlessly. A major issue hampering success is the misunderstanding of the culture by the expatriate members of your team. While communicating from afar might seem relatively simple on paper, it can, in fact, prove to be a major challenge for efficiency and cost in the field. Go Culture solves these issues for businesses by providing training based on specific issues made evident in our assessment. This training, in turn, increases employee success exponentially and better prepares individuals to adapt to foreign environments – an essential factor in working abroad. Our bulk licensing allows your company to easily access the Go Culture training online anywhere in the world, making it efficient, clean, and optimal for company-wide use.
For Your Non-Profit
In both humanitarian and missionary endeavors, entire families often travel abroad in an attempt to improve the living conditions of others less fortunate than themselves. In order to help others efficiently, the difficulties in interpersonal relationships that often transpire on long trips must be kept to a minimum in order to optimally support families abroad. The Go Culture program is the best way to prepare families for the issues they will most likely face, with a specific focus on areas that are often overlooked by lesser, and much more expensive, assimilation tools.
For Your School
Many universities have programs focused on providing their students with the undefinable benefit traveling abroad offers. Studying abroad can be intimidating to outbound students because of their limited knowledge of the host. International student success is greatly increased by Go Culture's integrated program matching specific growth areas with needs-based training. This program provides students an accurate awareness of their growth areas in regards to the culture they're visiting and offers specialized culture-transition coaching to target these areas so students overall feel, and are, much more prepared. Our bulk licensing allows universities to easily offer students and faculty access to the Go Culture assessment and training online anywhere they are.
For Your Family
For individuals traveling abroad independently, the Go Culture program provides an acculturation experience unlike any other method. The assessment and accompanying coaching resources increase expatriate longevity by decreasing anxiety abroad. The test's extremely accurate information is key in providing the preparation an individual needs in order to completely and efficiently experience, and enjoy, an entirely foreign culture.
Take the free assessment to get your overview score for the 15 key categories of cross-cultural readiness.

Snow Leopard to contain anti-malware component
Apple appears set to include an anti-virus component to its soon-to-be-released Snow Leopard, the next iteration of the Mac OS X.
Mac security firm Intego said it has received "reports" that the platform will contain the new feature. In its company blog, Intego posted a screenshot, which shows the new anti-malware mechanism identifying the RSPlug trojan and asking the user if he or she wants to open or cancel the file download being made via the Safari browser.
An Intego spokeswoman said the company -- like other software developers -- is under a nondisclosure agreement with Apple and is unable to comment further. The agreement expires Friday, when Snow Leopard is scheduled to be released.
The move by Apple may surprise some, considering the Cupertino, Calif.-based computing giant positions its operating system as inherently secure compared to Windows.
"We're naturally curious about this feature and about how thorough it is," Peter James, an Intego spokesman, said Tuesday on the company blog. "We wonder just how serious Apple thinks the malware threat is, especially since their latest 'Get a Mac' ads highlight the fact that PCs running Windows suffer from viruses."
Observers already expected Snow Leopard to address security concerns. A page on Apple's website that publicizes the new OS version references malware, saying that Macs are "designed with built-in technologies that provide protection against malicious software and security threats right out of the box."
An Apple spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment.
Meanwhile, Mac users should be on the lookout for fake offers of Snow Leopard downloads prior to Friday's release date. Researchers at Trend Micro reported Wednesday that they are aware of a number of websites claiming to offer free downloads of the platform. If users attempt to install the bogus program, their machines are infected with a DNS changing trojan from the JAHLAV family of malware.

The front page of the Australian claims Labor's plain packaging laws have failed, as industry research shows a small increase in tobacco sales volume between 2012 and 2013. So, do the figures back up the Australian's claim? Firstly, it's worth examining the industry data presented in the Australian's article. The key number they rely on is an increase in tobacco sales from 21.015bn in 2012 to 21.074bn in 2013*. Labor's plain packaging laws were fully implemented in December 2012.
While this is a small 0.28% increase in sales year on year, they have failed to account for the increase in the population between 2012 and 2013. Adjusted for population, tobacco sales per person have actually continued to decrease from 920.4 in 2012 to 906.9 in 2013: Further, buried at the end of the article is another figure from British American Tobacco Australia spokesman Scott McIntyre: "From 2008 to 2012 smoking incidence, or the number of people smoking, was declining at an average rate of 3.3% a year," he said, pointing to Roy Morgan data. "Since plain packaging was introduced, that decline rate slowed to 1.4%." So in their own article they have pointed out that the actual rate of smoking is continuing to decline. That is, the number of people smoking has decreased from 2012 to 2013.
Combined with the industry sales figures, all this suggests is that less people are smoking, but smokers may be buying slightly more tobacco. These figures are at odds with the latest information from the ABS. As Stephen Koukoulas points out, the latest ABS figures on household expenditure show as of March 2014, consumption of tobacco is the lowest it has ever been since 1959 when it first began to be recorded. Here's a graph of said household expenditure, helpfully provided by Ketan Joshi. The ABS national health survey has not yet covered the plain packaging time period, but again, the long-term trend is downwards. Unfortunately we are unable to compare the methods of the ABS to the research body, InfoView, that provided the tobacco sales numbers as they've declined to release the full dataset. The Australian also cites figures from the NSW population health survey showing a rise in smoking between 2011 (14.7% of all adults) and 2013 (16.4% of all adults). However between 2012, when plain packaging was introduced, and 2013, the figures for smoking in NSW actually show a small decline from 17.1% down to 16.4%

I already measured the unused pin and it has 5 volts dc. If one pin shows itself as a ground, then you will know if the wire is reversed.

Embodiment is the number one strategy to healing body image. To take your body to where you want it to go, you need to 'get into' your body. Following on from part one of my piece on healing a negative body image, my advice to acceptance of your body is to finally stop seeing it as an object to manipulate and punish.
To let go of the scale and stop counting calories as these strategies only keep you in your head and step back into your body. Here are a few strategies you can practise to heal your own body image and create embodiment.
With Food: Eat slowly and mindfully. Take 5 deep breaths before you eat so your body can fall into the relaxation response. Experience all the pleasure and nourishment that food brings.
With Movement: Let go of the punishing exercise and move in a way that allows you to reconnect with your body. Dancing, walking, or swimming are great alternatives.
With Breath: Take time to reconnect with your breath. In turn, this will reconnect you with yourself and return you to your body. Meditation is a great exercise to practise or simply close your eyes and focus on your breathing. You can do this anywhere, anytime.
Feel Fully: It is time to stop numbing yourself and running away from your emotions. What you resist persists. Feel your feelings fully. Without judgement. Check in with yourself and ask a few questions:
'What emotion am I feeling?'
'Where am I feeling this emotion in my body?'
'Can I let this emotion be here?'
Know that the emotion will pass. Just breathe, acknowledge its presence and let it go.
Ultimately, all of these strategies allow you to slow down, get back into your body, relax and become present. If you have any strategies that create the same outcome for you, then note them down. Find the tools that work for your unique self and use them every day to allow your body image to be healed. Every day, you will strengthen the relationship between you and your body and become the self-confident and self-empowered woman that you are destined to be.
In any given moment instead of reacting to life circumstances with punishment, shame, guilt and comparison just turn inward and forgive. Take a breath. Let it go and return to yourself. To create a better body image, you need to look at why you think of yourself and your body the way that you do.
I hope this article was beneficial to you and I was able to communicate just how destructive a negative body image is. I leave you with a quote.
"Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." – Jim Rohn
Coaching can be very beneficial in uncovering some of the points discussed above. If you are interested in a coaching session with Lydia, you can contact her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

2016 Wedding Trends: Metallic Color PalettesFebruary 8, 2016 by The Marquardt Ranch
New year, new style, new palette inspired by natural elements and reflective metallic colors.
The versatile colors of metal—from warm gold to brushed bronze to gleaming copper—are showing up everywhere in designs for 2016 weddings. You'll find serving pieces atop glittering linens, bridesmaids sparkling beside the bride, and foils paired with invitations.
Only silver and platinum are waning away from this trend that's being embraced as elegant, whimsical, and natural. With the popularity of warehouse, loft, and barn venues here to stay, incorporating these newly-popular industrial elements with a monochromatic scheme gives your wedding a seamless—and timeless—look.
Metallic touches make a black-tie event pop or an outdoor venue glow. Think about using these ideas to bring a blush of gold or a shimmer of copper into your wedding. As a bonus, these colors set off almost any other color you choose, and this year, brides are embracing the depths of blue and purple with all shades of periwinkle, remaining classic with navy, or adding a rose hue to anything gold.
Metallic Ideas: Wedding Attire
- Choose bridemaids' dresses that sparkle.
- Stack bracelets and jewelry for a dramatic look.
- Wear shoes in a shiny metallic.
- Carry a sequin clutch.
- Consider a manicure that glitters.
- Give watches as groomsmen gifts.
Metallic Ideas: Food and Decor
- Accent your cake with metallic flourishes.
- Use serving pieces that complement your scheme.
- Embracing the cupcake trend? Choose foil wrappers.
- Add sparkly toppers to mini desserts.
- Drape tables or chair backs with shimmering fabrics.
- Think lanterns and candlesticks.
- Have your florist accent the bouquets and centerpieces with flowers that have been bronzed (or dipped any other color).
- Put your centerpieces in metal containers.
- Still love the mason jar look? Paint the jars to match your color scheme.
- Use copper mugs for coffee and tins for condiments.
- Pair accent plates with vintage table settings.
Metallic Ideas: Favors and Extras
- Glitter makes anything sparkle from place cards to champagne bottles.
- Make sparkly Mr. and Mrs. signs for chair backs.
- Copper escort tags are also a meaningful way for guests to remember the day.
So many ideas can be overwhelming, but with the beauty of the metallic palette—less is more, and your day will shine.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council on Wednesday renewed for 12 months its authorization for humanitarian access without Syrian government consent into rebel-held areas of Syria at four border crossings from Turkey, Iraq and Jordan.
The unanimously adopted resolution authorizes aid deliveries across Al Yarubiyah on the Iraq border, Al-Ramtha from Jordan and Bab al-Salam and Bab al-Hawa from Turkey. The Turkish posts cross into territory held by Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot that has seized large swaths of Iraq and Syria.
The United Nations say some 12.2 million Syrians now need humanitarian aid, an increase of 2.9 million people in just 10 months. Nearly half of the Syrian population is displaced with more than 7.6 million internally displaced and over 3 million refugees in neighboring states.

My dogs were sprayed by a skunk, and I've washed them in hydrogen peroxide and baking soda — but how do I rid my house of the odor?
- asks Frank DeMayo
With spring just around the corner, there are several things to look forward to in the coming weeks. Warmer weather. Blossoming flowers. Lush trees. And skunks awakening from their wintertime slumber.
Skunks are known for using their natural defenses to stink up anywhere and anything nearby. Skunk musk, the liquid that harbors that smelly odor, comes from the skunk's anal glands, where only little bit – about one tablespoon – is held in the glands at a time. This meager amount of liquid is so potent, it can protect the skunk against five or six enemies and is detectable to the nose as far as twenty miles away. For years, people have had their own homemade remedies for dealing with "skunk smell," but what makes it so bothersome in the first place?
There are seven chemical compounds that make up skunk smell, and they can be divided into two groups: thiols, which are compounds that have a sulfur and hydrogen atom attached, and their acetate derivatives, which have an acetyl group attached. The attached hydrogen/sulfur compound, called a functional group, gives musk it's pungent odor. The acetyl group (what gives vinegar it's acidy smell) also contributes to a skunk's perfume, but it only becomes as pungent as thiols when it reacts with water. This is why animals sprayed by a skunk tend to smell even worse when they are damp.
Chemistry is not only part of what makes skunk musk so smelly, but also it is used to help get rid of the odor. William F. Wood of Humboldt State University in California, who studies the chemistry behind skunk odors, recommends scrubbing pets that have been sprayed in a baking soda and hydrogen peroxide bath. According to his research, these two agents oxidize thiol, adding oxygen onto the sulfur and changing the functional group into sulfonic acid. Such acids do not trigger olfactory receptors in the brain to sense a "bad" smell, but there is a risk that the chemical reaction may bleach a pet's fur.
While the urban legend of using tomato juice to treat skunk smells won't bleach your animal, it also won't rid it permanently of the pungent fumes. Tomato juice does nothing at the chemical level to oxidize, and therefore nullify, the effects of thiols, however it does mask the musk odor temporarily. Other commercial deodorizers include Neutroleum Alpha, which has a minty smell, and Freshwave, which smells like tea leaves and is actually used to deodorize oil tankers, can also be used as a musky cover-up.
For a smelly house, the hydrogen peroxide or baking soda approach won't work: the mixture only works for a short time after being combined, making it ideal for pets (because it's not caustic), but not for homes. The solution to eliminating the smell from a sprayed house is bleach. If it is known precisely where the skunk secretion occurred, liquid bleach used exactly where the spray occurred will eliminate the odor. If the smell has drifted throughout the house, the only remedy, unfortunately, is ventilation and time.
Of course, the best way to deal with skunk smell is to avoid skunks altogether! The College of Agriculture at the University of Kentucky recommends keeping yards clean and storing trash in sealed containers (as opposed to garbage bags), because the scent of garbage attracts skunks. The same should be done on farms, where grain storage areas also lure skunks. Proper fencing will keep the striped-creature from crossing into a backyard, but don't depend on a guard dog: the varmint will probably spray it in self defense, and the guard dog will bring the skunk musk right into the home!
Using these techniques, and keeping baking soda and hydrogen peroxide on hand, will help you enjoy a pleasant, odor-free springtime as the snow melts away and the skunks come out to play.

Okay, maybe this is a little late to the game but I'm sure many of you haven't gotten around to making resolutions or if you have, you're already feeling a bit overwhelmed by them. So maybe I couldn't post this until now for a reason! New Year Resolutions are a funny thing. The transition from December to January could truly be just any other month but because the year changes, we like to think of it as a fresh start. And I don't have anything against that at all. In a way, it seems to provide a sense of hope, and I think that is beautiful. What I don't like? All the loaded New Year Resolutions that you know will be forgotten… or just too much in a matter of weeks, maybe months.
It doesn't have to be that way, it shouldn't be that way. What a shame to waste an amazing opportunity for immense change and growth. The overall root of this problem? We, as a society, tend to overdo it. We make long lists that are hard to keep up with. We make resolutions we don't truly want to work for. Maybe we make a short list of one, two or three things but within those thing lie many complicated steps to get there. What, Savanna, should I do then? No worries friend, I got you.
How To Simplify Your New Year Resolutions –
- Narrow your general list down. Think of one, maybe two aspects of your life you want to grow and evolve. Sure you can have goals, but think of your resolutions as the next level up. The real deal. The main areas of your life that need change to make you happier. Think, "eat healthier", "work on self care", "travel", etc.
- Don't be afraid to prioritize. To tie into my first point, you need to be a bit cut throat. When you think back on the last couple months, what have you truly wished for in life? Sure, maybe you think it would be nice to lose weight, but maybe travel truly makes you happy. Let your resolution(s) revolve around what your soul needs and don't feel guilty for pushing something else down the totem pole.
- Dig deeper. Okay, let's say you've picked travel for your New Year Resolution. Now what? What needs to be accomplished to make this happen? Save money, accumulate PTO? Make a list of what exactly… step by step must be done.
- Narrow your itemized list down. Let's use "eat healthier" for this example. Say you've followed my steps, you might be left with a more specific list of something like – buy organic, meal plan, meal prep, only eat out X times a month. Now you can go two ways, for some resolutions you can pick one or two specific areas on your list to focus on, to become your revamped, focused resolutions. For other resolutions, or other types of people who like to plan ahead, place your list in a prioritized order on the best way to get you to the large scale goal. Plan month by month from that list what to do (or whatever timeline works best for you).
- Lastly, stop comparing. We are all in different areas of our lives. What is a small bump for some may be a huge mountain to others. It is great to be inspired by others and encourage your friends but don't let their goals make yours feel smaller. And if needed, take a step back from everyone else to get rid of that narrow vision. You can do it. You deserve it.
If anyone would like help going down this list to get to a more specific plan for your New Year Resolution fill out the contact form below and let me know one or two of your general resolution ideas. I will get back to you shortly and help you figure it all out – Let's tackle 2017 like the bosses we are!

The WiiWare games keep on coming over in Japan. Today, we received details and screens on new games for the service, two of which could make it over our way.
First, the one with the greatest chance of coming our way. In fact, it's already been announced. Bang Bang Kids is the Japanese name for Hudson's Water Warfare. This comical FPS gives players waterguns and has them blast away at friends on randomly generated maps. The game includes options for Wiimote+Nunchuck, Classic Controller, and Wii Zapper controls, and supports 8 player online play.
In Japan, the game arrives in June at 800 WiiPoints. See the official site for a play video.
Next a game that, based on its theme at least, could stand a chance here: Arc System Works' Shika Gari. The English version of the name is "Deer Capture." Yes, this is a deer hunting game, from the company that publishes Guilty Gear.
The game allows you to take aim at deer with either rifles or bow guns. Four player support is included, with all four players taking part in the hunt simultaneously.
Japan will get the game on May 19 at 500 WiiPoints. A must-see video trailer awaits at the official site. Finally, a game that doesn't look like it has much of a chance for an American release. Although who wouldn't buy this:
This is all probably best understood by viewing the trailer at the official site.
Japanese Wii owners can look forward to Muscle March on May 26 at 800 WiiPoints.

The Bala cold-pressed juice is made with raw cacao, raw almonds, dates, nutmeg, jacobsen sea salt, and filtered water– we source our ingredients locally and the final juice is raw and unpasteurized, this also means that we do not use the HPP (high pressure pasteurization) method.
2 tbsp of raw cacao per bottle
Cacao beans contain natural chemicals called flavonoids, a type of antioxidant compound that promotes general health and might lower your risk of several diseases. Raw cacao is also a natural energy booster, as it contains Theobromine, which has a similar structure to caffeine but are very different chemicals with different properties.
1 cup of almonds per bottle
We use Organic California Almonds and filtered water to make this delicious almond mylk in house. Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats, the same type of health-promoting fats as are found in olive oil, which have been associated with reduced risk of heart disease. Almonds have also been known to cholesterol when substituted for other protein sources. Almonds are also a great source of Vitamin E!
4 dates per bottle
Dates are composed of simple sugars in the form of fructose and contain vitamin A, iron, potassium and fiber among other vitamins and minerals and are used as an easily digestible sweetener.
just a pinch of nutmeg per bottle
Nutmeg keeps the brain sharp! It contains a natural organiccompound called myristicin, which is known to shield your brain against degenerative disease such as Alzheimer's. It also gives you trace minerals that keep the immune system strong. Potassium, calcium, iron and manganese are among key minerals found in nutmeg.
just a pinch of deliciously local Jacobsen Sea Salt per bottle
This local and sustainable raw sea salt is harvested from Netarts Bay, Oregon and is loaded with trace vitamins and minerals.
