Tag: Cold
I am counting the days……….
I am counting the days till I see the sea, once again.
I am tired of this frozen and icy landscape, though beauty can also be found here.
You see we have had but just over thirty inches of the fluffy, white powder type snow.
Nothing to complain about as some received four feet in just over a day. The problem is
we had rain, lots and lots of rain, on top of that pretty powder covered landscape. Now it is frozen
with temperatures still not as bad as some but when you are poor like many are -20 or -60 is COLD.
We are safe as he bought us some cleats to walk around this place on but you know there is one
really dry, perfect place, THE ROOF!
Not a drop of snow to be had up there!
We have had our rest and it is a good thing as from what I hear come Saturday it will feel like
SPRING! We will see the sun and she will do her thing. She will melt the ice that covers this place
and before nightfall freeze up all over again. We won't really care as we will be over by the sea.
I will have that pretty little JT with me and her favorite toy. We will look for treasure on the beach
and in the lens. I fear we shall not have the place to ourselves, as we do on a nasty day but to hear
joy coming from everyone there, it will be all I need to get me through another month, wait will this
be our January Thaw? OK I won't get greedy, I will just enjoy the day and you know when I come
home I will have many photos to look back on and pick ones to share with you. So I hope you are up
for a beach day like us. Usually our weather comes from the west so if we are going to be warm my
wish is that you all will be as well. If you do see the sun go out and bask in it even if you think you
will look crazy as maybe we are by now, have you heard of Cabin Fever?
Looking forward to pretty photos from you all as you get out side once again without fear of frostbite
if only for a day or two. I know it is winter but seriously I heard something about global warming,
my body says they are NUTS! I won't even talk about that VORTEX! Really? This is winter as I
knew it, as a child.
OK here is some random photos from the yard maybe the next ones will show the snow GONE!
JT in front yard before the freezing rains arrived
My neighbors are truly buried and to make things worse the deer who are so hungry are looking for anything to nibble on. Tracks all over the beautiful old stones as they leave this area and head down to us and the river.
Have a great night and a beautiful weekend. Hope you get a little warmer.
Warning: Frostbite in Dogs
Animals get frostbite as well
Frostbite in Dogs from VAC Animal Hospitals
What is frostbite?
Frostbite or congelatio in medical terminology [next step] is the damage that is caused to skin and other tissues due to extreme cold. When the environmental temperature drops below 32°F (0°C), blood vessels close to the skin start to narrow or constrict. This constriction of the blood vessels helps to preserve core body temperature by diverting blood toward the core and away from the cooler parts of the body. In extreme cold or when the body is exposed to cold for long periods, this protective mechanism can reduce blood flow in some areas of the body, especially the extremities, to critically low levels. The combination of cold temperature and reduced blood flow can allow the tissues to freeze, causing severe tissue injury. Frostbite is most likely to happen in body parts farthest from the heart and in tissues with a…

January Third In New England
I loaded the cameras charged batteries into each one and added them to the huge bag to keep them safe.
I put JT's collar on her as I do each time we venture from the yard.
This time we climbed into the already warm truck as it was horrid out.
I needed to make a trip into Portsmouth area. Newington actually was my first stop.
Have you heard about Habitat For Humanity I am sure you have, well they have a re-store there and as it goes to a good cause I thought I would start there for things I needed in the house. Wow! I will be back and I hope enough people support them so it stays open for a very long time. They had what I was looking for and even things I needed but had no idea till I got there so I did not come prepared with the measurements I would need. See they sell windows and doors and lots of them for $5.00, $10 and $20 each! I have a foggy plant/greenhouse type window beside my desk which is only good for light other than that it is useless after over 30+ years. It is time for a large window with screen or as my man suggested maybe we can make a door there and add a wooden porch just on the other side, see I was not the only one who got excited here. OH the possibilities!
He also found a small light weight snow thrower on wheels that we were promised worked great but to keep the receipt in case it didn't. My Mom bought us one for the roof and though it is a Toro and it works nice to make paths for JT and the birds I would hate to leave it on the roof now this one he got is light and we can wrap in a small tarp and I bought a new Bright Green bungee cord to secure it to one of the 3 chimneys. Actually 2 of them will never have smoke coming out of them and with coal stove still needing a plate before I use it safely you get the picture anywhere up there will work. Yes there is snow up there again another 10 to 12 inches unless the wind blew it off. It was 20 below last night and now at 9:30 AM it has climbed up top minus 5 F.
Now the one thing I went to this store to look for was a ceiling fan-light kit. I figured as people remodel up here on the coast they would change those out too. We found blades, and parts but not what I really wanted so as we headed out for him to by the snow tool he says "Look!" There to my right was a shelf with eight complete fans. Mine is 30 years old and seems to have been tightened as much as it can be and with these new bulbs we use when they get shaken they do not last long. Well with so many to pick from I could not decide. So he did. I paid for the fan and back out to the truck for JT who was waiting patiently and the truck was warm sitting in the sun. Now to gas up the truck as you see the prices were .08 cheaper per. gallon then 20 miles back home.
I was driving so I decided a detour of sorts would be nice after all I had not one camera but three! We knew the beach had been battered at midnight and at noon as high tide arrived so I decided to take the scenic ride along the ocean so much for the savings at the gas pump. JT loves the beach as much as us but I never told her we were going but her nose told her we were going someplace she loved. She was no longer laying across the rear seat she was sitting up and waiting!
As we got closer we saw the roads had been swamped with sea water as well as lots of rocks and boulders. It had actually been closed for hours but now open I was still uncertain about continuing but with tide being now 3 hours before I forged onwards with a happy dog in the back seat with her head out the window. Brrrr I did say it was horrid right.
I drove into the nasty slop as he cringed for his truck. OH I heard him say "Now it will need to be washed." lol time to toughen up this Honda!
Now come the photos as you know I usually I try to add some eye candy to make up for the less than eloquent words.
The clouds in the distance are from the storm that raged through leaving friends with 20+ inches of snow and us with 10 to 12.
You can see that the sea is still churning and whipping the surf into a frothy scene. Nice for photos but not nice to be out here. JT was in awe over the simplest of things. Her beach was covered with frozen sea water which she spent the 5 min. while I shot these images smelling.
I swear I do not know how these gulls do this with fast food joints just across the marsh.
Poor things left outside to bear the brunt of the most unbearable of weather. I even saw some out riding on the waves and I thought my life was tough NOT!!!!
Here are a few more shots ,see if you can feel the cold day though one shot I added warmth too, can you tell which one? All my shots are available now on cards and prints for your home and even on pillows and ties!
Trying to shake off the cold poor thing lousy photo as I was walking up to the car I was trying to capture them and not fall.
I was blustery and frigid but so worth the effort to make our way through the sloop of slushy sea water and rock that had come up and over onto our coastal route and washed more of our beautiful beaches away.
Now a photo of our place yesterday
I hope she will always enjoy what ever way we spend our day with her. She will be eight on Mother's Day and I want to always do things to see her filled with as much joy as she gives us.
Have a great weekend!
Another Storm Brewing
I took this photo yesterday along the river but facing out to sea. It was beautiful over here, less wind then when JT and I tried to join her daddy on the ocean side, man was it cold and a very brisk wind. Cold we can take but that constant wind is not good and I am bundled up, well all but my weather-beaten face and to protect her from the harsh elements I have gone through my whole life, we walked over here to take shelter from the storm that was brewing.
What a deceiving day. It was so pretty to look at. Made me what to shower and get dressed and head out with him. I was down another two pounds on Tuesday weigh-in so I wanted to keep up the hard work. Funny you see something working even if it causes pain I am the type that has always been tough and just pushed through it. I am not saying it is smart , just saying more about who I am.
I have one month left before I leave and want to take in all my world has to offer. I want to walk and spend time with them. I will miss the three of them, who share this home with me. My son said he missed his pup but knowing she was with friends allowed him to take on the challenge himself so I will let go and trust. JT loves me as much as Mike's dog adores him but Mike does spend time during the day without his girl and JT is always beside me lol I am her person. She watches over me and protects me even when I am not in danger so maybe after she gets over missing me for first few days she will become a dog again. Something tells me we will be like that commercial that runs here, of the lady coming back from war with her huge dog greeting her on the ground covering her with kisses, will also be played out here, hell being on the floor meditating for 10 days 14 hours a day will have the ground being normal for me. Wish me luck! lol
OK back to the REAL STORM BREWING this morning I woke to a weather report saying maybe we would miss a big snowstorm Thank You for listening to my prayers this time now they say just three to four inches but wet snow this time. JT loves catching snowballs she will be so happy. Now I will show you a few photos from the river as the sea. They are not my best and I am sorry I was freezing and will blame them on the wind!
Now look at the next pictures don't them make it seem like it is just a beautiful day to SUNTAN
Not a care in the world.
A Loner lol no room for anyone else on this ones beach.
OK want to see some more again sorry shaking too much for really pretty ones but I am sure you will love them.
Now the mighty Atlantic Ocean was really churning and so frothy. The storm was still a twelve-hour ride away down in Virginia. So I really thought we would be getting another NEMO like storm. Looks can be deceiving right beautiful blue sky pretty colorful sea. BRRRRRRR
Wind blown JT waits for me to throw a hefty stick to her. No FRISBEE in these winds.
Well you can see she is tiring of me and my photos time to go for a walk
Have a nice weekend
Cold Along The Coast
I wanted to go for a walk and it read 8 F here in the yard and it didn't feel too bad, after what it had been like for 3 days here well below 0 F, with nasty winds. The kind that feel like they are cutting right into your skin.
So we bundled in layers all except for the poor dog. I wish she didn't hate coats.
It was a beautiful clear day a perfect one for a drive. Once I turned towards the coast the roads were all ours maybe they knew better.
Put a coat on to check these out or you will catch a CHILL
Not a soul out in this weather
The Beach was all ours from 2 PM till 4 PM
After I loaded the dog and my camera in the truck and warmed it up I went back to see if he was still OK and a pilot had placed a HUGE HEART up over the sea
it was beautiful but you will have to take my word for it unless I can find it on the web cam and show you. I was not going to run to the warm truck and go back out though now I am kicking myself as it was so pretty.
It was THIS COLD!
Wednesday it will be 50 F time to go to the beach!
On February 2 ND and 3 RD hundreds will jump in the Atlantic Ocean, along Hampton Beach, in Hampton NH (there is a WEB CAM) they call it the Penguin Plunge for Special Olympics
I will get some photos of it if it is not as cold as today WHICH WAS NUTS! We did have a nice walk and he did find treasure though brrrrr still trying to THAW!
January 9 2013 Shots From The Coast
So yes in January we still look for treasure he with a machine and me with a camera.
It was windy and cold but we bundled up and left at 10 AM and finished there by 3 PM
Tired and cold from all the exercise we got, which they say is Good For You, we headed home for dinner which I
still had to whip up. While it cooked I made some Chi Tea and heated up the bag we have for sore muscles and
sat with JT and did her shoulder area. She was again hobbling hard makes me so sad to see her in the pain we are in.
I know she has a toenail that was injured and is growing out that I trim weekly(all of them actually)but it appears this
jump and leaping in the sand is sadly taking a toll on her since her injury this past summer. Her and I will walk daily even if I do not
want to leave my warm home. With weight off of us both we have got to feel a little less pain when out having a day of fun.
The whole time we played she never showed a sign of pain. I did stop Frisbee play after 20 min. took her for her water then headed out
with a leash on her for a cool down and I mean cool down on this January day. She walked and played with her stick with me still no sign. She is
very stoic when she is playing with her Mommy. When we got home and I went into the kitchen and Ron said she was in some really bad pain. She
Came and sat with me in the kitchen as I cooked supper and made her supper. She came to bed with me and the heating bean bag which I held on
her till she felt good enough to jump down to the floor on her dog bed.
This morning as I downloaded photos from our trip to the coast, there were no signs of injury as she played and played with me. Walking later when
the sun has warmed the air some. Have a great day!
Our Yard in January
Very Cold Jay
Low quality photos shot early morning through a window that faces the west.
I was cleaning the living room and watching the birds of all types flying to the ground grabbing a sunflower seed I had spread out for them when I noticed this very cold, puffed up Blue Jay sitting in the Pear Tree. I knew if I stepped outside they would all fly away and I know all about reflections from glass but he looked so pretty I had to try to capture him.
I had been a horrible night icy branches and roads snow too. I went and filled the feeders really early so when they woke their high energy seeds would be waiting. This one was conserving his energy even though there was food everywhere, it must have been a rough night.

Have you ever gone to the mall and fallen in love with the cinnamon and sugar pretzel bites. They are a little sweet and salty at the same time. These are easy to make, and one batch can make enough for a hungry crowd.
Who doesn't love pretzels? So often we just enjoy the crunchy ones, they are known for being somewhat healthy. These are soft and chewy pretzels. These are soft on the inside and they have an almost crisp exterior. You will soon fall in love with these cinnamon and sugar pretzel bites.
These are perfect to serve up with your next game night, or perhaps you want to serve these when you have a large card party. These taste wonderful when fresh out of the oven.
Baking Tips
I have been asked before if you need to dip the bread into baking soda water, my answer is a resounding yes. Why? If pretzels aren't dipped in the baking soda water those balls of dough will simply be baked bread. The dipping in baking soda helps to brown the bread.
If you use instant yeast, you will not need to proof the yeast, you can use it right away. Personally my favorite yeast to use is Saf Instant Yeast, 1 Pound Pouch. When you buy this in the large bulk package, I think you get it at a much better deal then when you buy it in the grocery store.
Pretzel Bites
- 1 1/2 cup water warm
- 1 1/8 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 1/2 pkg.)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup bread flour
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- To taste, coarse salt
- 4 ounces butter melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add sugar, salt and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth and elastic. Let rise at least 1/2 hour.
- While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm water and 2 tablespoons baking soda. Be certain to stir often.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Once the dough has risen transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface, and divide it into six equal pieces. Roll the six pieces of dough into 12" to 15" ropes. Cut each rope crosswise into about 12 pieces.
- Pour the cooled baking soda solution into a pan large enough to hold the bites. Place the bites into the solution, gently swish them around, and leave them there for a couple of minutes.
- Transfer them to a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, and top with pretzel salt or sea salt. Bake the bites for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove them from the oven, and roll them in the melted butter. For cinnamon-sugar pretzels, toss with cinnamon-sugar once you've rolled the bites in the butter.
- Place the bites on a rack. If the bites aren't eaten immediately you should place them in an airtight container. The pretzel bites should be warmed before serving.

Life has been hectic to put it lightly. There's been so many things going on. Some great and some sad, some crazy and some boring but I'm here and my household are too so I give God thanks for that.
We've had Surgeries and a Bereavement which was very stressful and sad.
We've had new beginnings and parties, convention and a concert. ... oooooo and an Engagement!! whoooppp so happy for the lovely couple.
|one of my top walks in one go
|Love the colour (please excuse my heat rash)
|Teachers Gifts
I used the images to personalise some notebooks and put them in a gift bag along with a co-ordinating pencil, 4 ink pen, a girlie eraser, 2 choccies and a bottle of nail varnish. The Tags went onto the gift bags.
These were for Mello's Teachers and Assistant.
For Kylo I put a Yankee Candle Sampler and Kokolicious Face Mask Mix in a gift bag for his Teacher, Head Teacher and Assistant Head.
As he's leaving he asked me to get something for his classmates so I made sour cream container type packs and put either a mini bouncy ball or slinky inside. (wish I took pictures but it was late)
Summer Holidays are in full effect and I have a house full of energy full boys and sometimes a friend lol. I'm trying to come up with fun stuff but to be honest I have been using this week to catch up on much needed rest and chores. Next week will be the start of fun time for sure.
I'm also thinking of taking part in August Vlogging (can't remember the actual name) where I vlog each day...... I am thinking realistically though as I don't think I will get in front of a camera for long enough if at all with the boys around so I'm considering blogging each day instead.... oooer, even that may be a push but hey I can only try, I'll give it a good go as I've been away for so long.
Well the time is getting late.... who am I kidding, it's gone late ;) so I'll finish this catch up post here xxx

Under this menu heading, several pages detail how the transgender social movement has created a Culture of Silence of trans person sexuality and how that hurts us all.
It's not modesty; it's fear of rejection.
We need to own our sexuality, not treat it as shameful.
We cannot fully integrate into society if we do not own our sexuality, if we hide it.
We cannot be ourselves if we hide who we really are.
Leaders of trans phenomena have an obligation to be open and honest with trans person sexuality, to help us normalize it, help prevent 7 psychosocial problems that cause self-discrimination, inhibit a love life, enable hate crimes including rape and murder, interfere with reporting of crimes, create a separateness between us and other people, alienation, loneliness, depression, and even suicidality.

The Little Ones
Looking after kids teeth is very imporant and and good dental hygiene should be enouraged from a young age. Ensuring your children have the most health teeth and gums possible before their adult teeth come through will help them fight decay throughout their adult life!
One of the most common diseases in the world is dental decay. When a tooth loses minerals to the plaque on the teeth, it may break down. This loss of the tooth structure will cause sensitivity or pain in the tooth and eventually leads to a tooth infection. To prevent this pain and stop the infection from getting inside the tooth, decayed teeth will require fillings.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago produces a quarterly newsletter on farmland values for their district which comprises, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. Their latest report seems to indicate a flattening of the rapid farmland price increases we have seen over the last few years. although prices were up 17% on an annual basis, the net change for the second quarter versus the first quarter was zero.
There does seem to be some seasonality to the second quarter since a couple of previous years have reported no change for the second quarter most likely due to farmers planting their crops and some uncertainty as to the prices they will receive.
Indiana saw the highest increases at 21% and 5% for the year and quarter, respectively. Michigan showed an 7% decrease for the quarter, but it appears to be more volatile than other states.
A majority of the bankers surveyed expect farmland prices to be flat for the remainder of the year. We shall see if this trend continues, but with large uncertainty to this years crop and the possible expectations for increases in long-term interest rates, it would not surprise us to see at least a flattening or even a drop in prices over the next few quarters.
We will keep you posted.

Researchers at Fudan University in China have discovered a way to speed up traditional computer transistors by embedding tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) in them. In their paper published in the journal Science, the team describes how embedding TFETs in such transistors allows for them to be run with less power, which in turn causes them to run faster.
Most modern computers are run with either metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) or a variation of them called floating-gate (FG) MOSFETs. Such transistors are now reaching their physical limit as far as how thin they can be—just a few atoms thick. For that reason, researchers have been looking for other ways to get more bang for their buck. In this new effort, the researchers turned to TFETs, which use quantum tunneling to move electrons through very thin material.
TFETs have traditionally been used in very low power devices. In this endeavor, they researchers created a TFET that could be used to control the electrodes that monitor the flow of electricity into a MOSFET—in this case, the floating-gate variety (it has an additional electrode gate that allows a charge to be retained). The idea is that if the gate could be made to open and close faster, the transistor as a whole would operate faster. Current chips require a build-up of charge before the gate can be opened or closed—which requires time. TFETs, because they require less power, don't take as long to do their work, thus embedding one in a floating gate-MOSFET would alleviate the necessity of power buildup prior to gate changes, allowing for quicker opening and closing. That's exactly what the team in China has done. Testing thus far has shown MOSFETs with embedded TFETs have improved transistor speeds as well as reduced power requirements.

One of the nicest feelings is to wake up in the morning with absolute no thoughts of having to be any place but home…. Of brewing a fresh pot of tea and thinking only as much as the next breath ..of watching the world come to life in the early morning …the small tea shop with its very first set of customers trailing in to grab hot sweet tea … As I watch them from afar I often wonder what strangers who are up and about at that hour must talk about? could it be about life's follies or could it be about the weather …. I long then to be part of the conversation but I settle myself comfortably watching and imagining the get together…..then my mind wanders off in the direction of breakfast and a snooze and some more tea and things that ought to be done but could be ignored this very day….life at its simplest happiest best ….and then there Ralph who insists anoushka is coming over for lunch…. Lazy mornings and imaginary friends makes for an intoxicating day…. One in which the variables are only as complex as you want them to be
Month: May 2014
Looking out the glass….
To magic …. Always
I hope that the days that follow bring with them a happy note …. Am going to spend the rest of the month chasing the rain…. swimming against a setting sun …dropping in at Omo for a filter cafe and gooey chocolate cake ….wishing against all odds that you respond to my subtext…. But here's the thing …. Do you really listen …. somehow I doubt you do…but hey iam still going to go ahead and be happy coz I've got life running in my veins and laughter in my soul

Homestead protection laws protect homeowners and other small property owners from being left homeless during times of economic strife. Specifically, homestead laws allow individuals to declare a portion of their property as "homestead" and therefore mostly off-limits to creditors. Under California homestead laws, property owners may declare at least $75,000 worth of their property as a protected homestead in a bankruptcy proceeding or other actions by creditors.
The table below highlights the basic provisions of California's homestead protection laws. See Bankruptcy Exemptions: Chapter 7 for more information.
Code Section
Civ. Proc. §704.710, et seq. For money judgments
Max. Property Value That May Be Designated 'Homestead'
$175,000 if either spouse is over 65 or disabled and unable to engage in substantial employment; $175,000 if person is 55 or older with gross income of not more than $25,000 or if married not more than $35,000 and sale is involuntary; $100,000 if debtor or spouse resides in house with at least one member of the family with no interest in the homestead; $75,000 for all others
Maximum Acreage (Urban)
Maximum Acreage (Rural)
Note: State laws are constantly changing -- contact a California bankruptcy attorney or California real estate lawyer, or conduct your own legal research to verify the state law(s) you are researching.
Regulation of Homestead Filing Services
It should be noted that non-attorneys may provide homeowners with assistance in filing homestead declarations -- who referred to as "Homestead Filing Services" providers. Because some providers were misrepresenting the need for filing services, as well as the legal definition of California's homestead exemption (saying, for example, that filing a declaration unconditionally protects the property from all creditors), California began regulating homestead filing services to protect homeowners from exploitation. These regulations place the following conditions on all non-attorney providers who wish to charge for their services:
More Information
If you need assistance with your homestead declaration, check out the legal guide published by the California Department of Consumer Affairs detailing the regulation of homestead filing services. However, because of the high stakes involved in these types of cases (i.e. the potential loss of the family home), it is highly advised that you consult with a local bankruptcy or real estate attorney.
Contact a qualified attorney.

The Bachelor does not have a traditionally good track record for relationship success, but Emily Maynard and Brad Womack aren't ready to give up on the reality dating show just yet. The two were spotted together in Austin and even held hands and seemed to be trying to work it out in spite of reports to the contrary.
A witness told US Weekly:
Emily was her putting her hands in the air and dancing in her seat. They were both smiling and chatting. They held hands across the table and willingly smiled.
Well, then. Maybe it's true! And hey, even though Womack strikes me as an emotional wreck, it's still a nice idea. Maybe they really could work out!
The likelihood, of course, is low. The Bachelor has had very little success. In fact, of the main couples, it seems that only Ali and Roberto and Trista and Ryan have stayed together consistently since the show ended. Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney don't count because of the drama that went down on their show.
In other words, Emily and Brad have a long, long uphill battle if they want to beat the statistics. That said, I think they could. Brad has his whole life established and, unlike past contestants, doesn't appear too particularly fame hungry. Emily is more of a wild card.
Some have said she is fame hungry, but I guess only time will tell. At least they are trying, though, right? The odds are against them, but clearly they must love each other enough to give it a good push.
Do you think they will make it?

When your AC system has been open to the atmosphere for a long period of time, it is susceptible to contamination by moisture. This moisture causes the system to not operate as efficiently as it could. In fact, moisture can really kill the operation of the AC system. Designers of AC systems know this and install either a receiver dryer or an accumulator in the system to help trap any moisture that gets left in the system. These components are filled with what is called a desiccant; it's similar to the stuff that's in those little packets at the bottom of electronics packaging. Desiccants are designed to remove moisture, but they can become saturated. Once they become saturated they should be replaced. I have heard of people removing this moisture and reconditioning these parts, but I have no experience with this personally, so I can't say if it works effectively or not.
The point is, if you leave your system open for any period of time, especially in humid climates, these components can become saturated and unusable. It's for this reason that I recommend you replace the receiver dryer or accumulator if you are going to service your AC system. It's a little bit of insurance that will go a long way to make sure your AC works as well as it can when you get it back up and running.

Here's my foul-proof grow guide to growing begonias! Grow Zone: These grow best in zones 7-11. Water and Sun Needs: Grow in an area of partial sunlight. Water regularly, but ensure that the soil is not soggy. Average Size: 6 inches to 3 feet tall. 6 to 12 inches wide. Plant Type: Annual Special Features: Great for containers, and doesn't require much care or maintenance. How to Get Started: If growing in a pot, make sure you account for the space needed for your plants to grow. Make sure your container leaves 2 inches of grow room around the roots. Plant in an area that gets full to partial sunlight. As with most annuals, make sure that the soil stays most without being soggy. Soil should be dry to the touch before watering again. Plants should be fertilized once monthly. When to Harvest: Expect blooms to appear in late spring. Gardeners should deadhead the blooms to prevent regular, new growth throughout the seasons. What to Plant It With: Impatiens, Blue Lobelia, Wishbone Flower. Wait! Don't leave yet!

The sky's the limit for maglev elevators
With the official public opening of the One World Observatory at One World Trade Center in New York City scheduled for Friday, we got to thinking about elevators …
In 1853 at the New York World's Fair at New York's Crystal Palace, a 40-year-old American inventor and businessman named Elisha Otis stood on a hoisting platform high above a crowd of spectators anxiously awaiting his presentation. Otis's next move would be a death-defying feat that would literally change city skylines forever.
Like a magician, Otis astonished the crowd by ordering an axman to cut the only rope that was suspending the platform on which he was standing. The platform fell just a few inches and then froze still, as if suspended in midair. "All safe, gentlemen," he emphatically exclaimed as people applauded loudly. Otis had successfully demonstrated how his revolutionary new elevator safety brake could prevent an elevator from falling to the Earth if the hoisting cable unexpectedly broke. His ingenious creation allowed for the debut of passenger elevators and safer travel inside multi-floored buildings, but just as importantly it pushed the boundaries of architecture into the blue and paved the way for the construction of modern skyscrapers and cities.

I mentioned Dirda's On Conan Doyle a couple of days ago; I finished the book and it is strongly recommended; it will make you look for more Conan Doyle books and read them.
My own introduction to Conan Doyle happened through Amar Chitra Katha classics (The Hound of Baskervilles) and Poonthalir (The lost world). And, I have been a fan ever since, though, I read the originals in English much later.
Finally, for what it is worth, here is my tribute to Doyle.

As LL Cool J promised, Kendrick Lamar's 2016 Grammy performance was provocative and controversial. Mashing up "The Blacker the Berry", "Alright" and a previously unheard verse, Kendrick delivers the Grammy performance that this country needed. Making the white viewers uneasy while empowering and exposing the culture of Compton and Black America. This Grammy performance is an especially timely follow-up to Beyoncé's Super Bowl show. The public is being forced to realize that some of their favorite celebrities are no different than the people being oppressed in Ferguson, Chicago, Compton, and basically every other city in the U.S. Shout out to Beyoncé and Kendrick for utilizing their role as a figure in the public eye to spark change. View Kendrick's Grammy performance below.

Adding colors and freshness to my space but WIP...
Hola people, what's up? I'm back from what you can call some real crazy travel schedule, festival fun with in-laws side of family, new experiences, new memories & new insights on food, travel and relationships! More on those later (note to self: I must take out time to jot down my experiences, as this trip was different in more ways than one) but this post is just to say a big hello to all of you. It's 31st March today and those of you working in financial sector or business development roles must be having a crazy time today. Good luck, may this year end on a big note for all of you.
And I had a day off yesterday after what seemed like at least a decade! Yes, it was just another Sunday but few things were different – I was sick, down with very high fever, have fallen this sick after long and hence was on bed for most part of the day. Household chores were ignored, child was being taken care only partly by me but primarily by husband and the maid. Even Mr. husband was at home for a change this weekend and for a CHANGE even maid was around at least for few hours this Sunday! Maids in Bangalore, ufff….but more on this again later!
So, after long I got to be on bed at least for few hours and I got the time to play around with my blog that I have been wanting to do for long. The last theme that I updated on this blog was almost 7 years back. In fact a quick look on my "About text" told me that it was last touched 8 years back. It read, "blogging for 4+ years now" whereas in reality, I have been blogging for almost 12 years now! Well, have not changed much on "About" yet but definitely have been trying to work around with a different theme. Have added bit of color, changed the layout and updated it with some new design trends and widgets. During the process, also realized that both wordpress and blogger have changed quite a lot now. Blogger's own themes are not as per current design trends and customizing it with any other theme has become very time consuming and not that user friendly. This blog change is still only partly completed but I'm actually quite liking it. Don't know when will I get the time to work on it again but trying to at least finish the basics today. Just a bit of color addition and a different layout itself have motivated me to do this post. Hope I will get the time and energy to be here more regularly now. After all, who doesn't like freshness to his/her space and as I always say, this is one space of mine that I cherish truly and miss it whenever I am away from it for long!
So, do you like this new layout of my blog? Any suggestions for improvement? Lemme know your views please. Bbye until we meet again and hopefully very soon :)

Unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure you've been hearing the endless chatter about the new Facebook changes.
Like most of their changes, many of the users aren't too happy about it.
However, after examining the changes more closely, I've realized they're actually pretty cool. In fact, I think many of the changes are going to have a dramatic impact on how bloggers promote their content.
With over 800 million users, Facebook is a traffic powerhouse. But only for those who know how to use it properly.
I have buried myself in the marketing lab over the past couple days so that I can show you exactly how the new Facebook changes will impact your business. And how you can leverage these changes to drive more traffic to your website.
Here's the lowdown…
Facebook News Feed Vs. News Ticker
One of the most controversial changes is the addition of the News Feed Ticker. Some people hate it while others love it. However, it is an integral part of creating a new, more engaging Facebook platform.
The new Facebook ticker contains everything that happens on Twitter – no matter how trivial the activity. So this section is a bit more like Twitter and will contain a little bit more noise. But at the same time you can keep an eye on anything that might catch you.
The News Ticker contains posts and "activity stories". This includes friends adding friends, friends commenting on other posts, liking pages, friends posting photos, etc.
Also keep in mind, although the News Ticker is filled with a lot of noise – it can also potentially get your posts some extra exposure. Each time someone likes or comments on your content, that comment will appear in the News Ticker (along with your story, link, photo, etc…) So engaging content essentially gets double exposure (in the news feed and also in the news ticker)
Your Facebook posts now have a longer shelf life due to follow-up comments. Remember, Mark Zuckerberg's main goal with the new Facebook changes is to increase engagement. So the more you're able to increase engagement on your Fan Page, the more exposure and traffic you will be rewarded with.
Plus, users can interact directly with items in the ticker. Simply hover over any item from the ticker and the content will expand in a hover window – allowing you to 'like', 'comment', or 'share' the content in real time. I have to say this is one of my favorite features – being able to quickly interact with my friends content without ever leaving the home page.
There are also a number of changes that you'll want to take note of. The first thing you'll noticed about the News Feed is that you can no longer toggle between Tops News and Most Recent.
Now you have 'Top Stories' and 'Recent Stories'. The Top Stories are located at the very top of your home page. These are the posts that Facebook thinks you will find most interesting based on your interaction in the past. In addition to this personalized ranking factor, the "Top Stories" are also highly influenced by EdgeRank.
So in order to get into this more valuable real estate, you'll need to focus on high quality content, new layers of multimedia, and engagement.
It's becoming more important now than ever for us to cut through the noise by creating and sharing high-quality, engaging content.
The New Timeline
Your personal profile page is now called the Timeline. With the new Timeline, Facebook has created a social hub with new ways to express
yourself and tell your story. It's kind of like your very own personal scrapbook online.
Plus, with the new Timeline, you now have a HUGE cover photo at the top of your page. (840x310px) A massive amount of pixel space to express yourself.
This is a HUGE piece of real estate for expressing yourself, your favorite interests, or cross-promoting your blog, Twitter, and LinkedIn account.
Here are a few creative Timeline cover photos to get your juices going…
Plus, with the new Facebook Timeline design also comes new branding opportunities!
Imagine running a contest where you have your fans pose with your newly published book and post it as their cover photo!
Or simply create a branded cover photo that not only showcases an interesting picture – but also the name of your business, your website, your Facebook
page, and your Twitter profile.
As a business owner, you'll definitely want to put some thought into how you use this space.
The New Subscribe Button
Facebook has just recently introduced the Facebook 'Subscribe' button – which allows users to view other people's feeds without having to add them as Friends. Very similar to the concept of Twitter and Google+ Circles.
The subscribe button allows anyone to follow your updates without requiring you to follow them back.
This means you can 'subscribe' to celebrities, journalists, marketers, thought leaders, and anyone else your interested in but don't know personally. This way,
you can check out their updates without having to be accepted as their friend.
This is also a great branding opportunity for you as a marketer as well. If you'd like to share your public updates with more than just your friends, you can setup a 'Subscribe' button on your profile as well.
Here's how to activate the new subscribe button…
We're living in a world where our personal life continually slips into the business world and vice versa. And the 'Subscribe' button adds an additional layer of access to your followers and fans. Giving them a peak behind the curtain at your personal life – which builds trust, engagement, and raving fans.
This is also a great way to get around the 5,000 friend limit because there's no limit to how many people can 'Subscribe' to your personal profile page.
Plus, Facebook is also allowing you a great deal of control on what you share to subscribers. For example, you can share links and text updates but keep your photos and apps shared only with friends. So you can essential censor what information you want to display – thereby separating your public profile from your personal profile.
In addition, people who subscribe to your page can decide exactly which updates they want to see as well.
As a marketer, this also allows you to gain an additional audience without having to accept each 'friend' manually.
New Facebook Buttons
Most of us are familiar with the 'Like' button and the 'Share' button.
But Facebook is taking it's social sharing to a new level with 3 new buttons – "Read, Listened, and Watched".
These will also be followed by a button called "Want".
It seems as though they're bringing the Like button to a granular level – creating a more personal and in-depth content sharing platform.
At this point, it's unclear how these new buttons will affect the Like button. While I'm sure these new buttons will also present some new marketing opportunities for content publishers, it also seems that some of these additional options are simply making it more confusing for the average user.
But it will certainly be interesting to see how these new buttons will affect the Like button.
Facebook Like Vs. Facebook Share
As content creators, the Facebook 'Like' & 'Share' button have played a HUGE role in getting extra traffic to your blog.
However, in terms of traffic, the Facebook buttons seem to be going through a bit of transition at the moment.
According to Mari Smith (one of the foremost experts on Facebook) – "Facebook "Shares" will become more important than 'Likes'."
For the most part, 'shares' generally have a higher Edgerank score – which leads to more exposure and traffic.
The Facebook Share button is a bit similar to the 'reblog' feature on Tumblr. Whenever you 'Share' a Facebook story or a new article it will repost the story on your timeline (with a complete description, link, and photo). Whereas the 'Like' button simply posts a short line of text to your timeline noting that you 'liked' a particular article, photo, Facebook post, etc… So in terms of virtual real estate, the 'share' button seems to be more powerful.
However, with the rollout of Timeline and Graphrank, it's still too early in the game to know which buttons will have the biggest impact for marketers and content publishers.
Frictionless Sharing via Apps – Kind of Scary
Although I'm a huge fan of MOST of Facebook's recent changes, the frictionless sharing via Apps is kind of scary.
Here's how it works…
Let's say you've installed Facebook's 'Spotify' App and your listening to some of your favorite songs via Spotify.
That information is then automatically shared in the Facebook news feed 'ticker'.
Or perhaps you've installed the Washington Post Facebook App. Each new article you click on via the Washington Post is now automatically shared on Facebook.
Once you approve a media partner app, all of your activity within that app is then automatically shared to Facebook. No need to click any buttons.
At first glance it seems like a content publishers dream come true. But at the same time, it also sounds like a privacy nightmare.
Fortunately, there are a number of privacy settings you can choose to filter and select exactly what you want to share.
As a blogger, this could present a HUGE opportunity for you as well.
It will be interesting to see if more and more bloggers start creating apps to tap into these new traffic opportunities.
New Facebook Page Insights
Facebook is launching a major facelift to Page Insights. If you have a Facebook Fan Page (which I seriously hope you do!) you're going to be seeing some major updates in the admin area.
Facebook is giving us new tools and statistics, giving us much more information about our fans, the popularity of virality of our content, and overall engagement.
Facebook has launched three new metrics: "People Talking About This", "Number of Friends of Fans", and "Weekly Total Reach".
1. "People Talking About This" is actually a public metric that you can now see on every Facebook Fan Page. It's located directly underneath the fan count and it shows the number of people on Facebook who have engaged with your page in the last 7 days.
So if you're boring the crap out of your fans, now everyone will know :)
This metric improves anytime someone engages with your page. This includes anytime a user 'likes' your page, posts on your wall, comments, shares a post, answers a poll, or tags your page in an update or in a photo.
It's essentially the number of people who interact with your content.
2. "Number of Friends of Fans": This new metric shows the collective number of friends your fans have. This gives page admins a better idea of the potential reach of their page.
3. "Weekly Total Reach": This new metric is designed to show how many total people have seen content associated with your Page. This also includes any Ads or Sponsored Stories pointing to your Page.
Another very interesting change is that Facebook is now giving us actual numbers for each post so you can see EXACTLY how many people have clicked
on your blog post, video, photo, etc…
I'm sure you'll see plenty of geek speak thrown around about these new metrics, but the bottom line is that Facebook is giving us more information
about how many people are clicking on your links, commenting on your post, or sharing your post with friends. In return, we're able to see which types
of content work and which one's don't.
New Facebook Advertising Options
Facebook has also just recently released a new ad unit called "Premium Ad Product" – which allows brands to turn their posts into ads. The premium ad unit encourages increased engagement, brand exposure, and virality.
This new ad unit also combines post content with social context. Each premium ad also shows which friends have already 'liked' the post. The ad becomes
much more powerful when it is attached by the recommendation of a friend.
Social context is adding a new dynamic to traditional advertising. It's kind of like a product owner telling you their product is great vs. your neighbor Sally telling you the product is great.
These Facebook advertising options allow you to build word of mouth around your content. One of the hardest parts of creating an online business is
simply getting the ball rolling. That initial bit of momentum. Sponsored advertising allows you to get those eyeballs in front of your content.
Plus, they're also a HUGE branding opportunity. Imagine your photo being shown on thousands of pages. Regardless of whether or not someone clicks
on your ad, you're still getting a ton of brand exposure. You are now going to be on the forefront of their minds. And this is very important for creating trust, building relationships, and making sales.
Facebook Pages Now Open
Another big change is that people can now engage on your Facebook Page without "Liking" your Page.
The focus is now much more on engagement rather than how many "likes' you can get on your fan page. Because fan pages are now open – everyone can
engage, comment, like, and share your content with their friends.
The more engagement you create with your content (likes, comments, shares, etc…) the more likely your story will appear in your Fans' newsfeeds. Increased engagement = Higher Edgerank. So the more interaction the better, even if it comes from non-Fans.
Fans are certainly still an important metric, but at the same time, the new open pages allow for an increased opportunity in traffic and exposure.
Key Takeaways…
* We are living through the humanization of business. Social media is making it easier than ever to build your audience. But at the same time, social media has also humanized the business experience.
Now, more than ever before, business is about relationships. People are buying from people they know, like, and trust.
So the more you can bring your own personality into your business the better :)
* Facebook likes are becoming less important. You can no longer expect your posts to show up in someone's News Feed simply because they 'liked' your page. Facebook wants to serve up the most relevant, interesting content. Therefore, engagement (likes, shares, and comments) are becoming a much more important metric. Engagement is now the BIGGEST key to getting more exposure on your content.
* Test different TYPES of content to see which ones drive the most engagement.
* Although it's getting a bit harder to show up in your fans' news feed, it's also a HUGE opportunity for marketers and thought-leaders who are committed to creating killer content, engaging their community, and creating fun experiences. Those are the ones who will reap massive rewards. The bar has been raised!
* Although technology is changing rapidly, your main core focus is still all about relationships.

Quick – fetch the decanter!
Want to keep up with the Joneses? Follow our guide to middle-class cheating
Are you concerned that you can only afford to go on holiday to Bognor Regis? Give a richer friend your Facebook log-in details so that they can update your status from Tuscany.
Don't forget to polish your automated out-of-office email. "I'm currently away on annual leave; please contact my secretary" doesn't really cut the mustard. "I'm currently on annual leave in Tuscany; please have a look at my photos on Facebook" is much more like it.
Get really good at Photoshop.
Embarrassed by the blue-and-yellow cabin-approved bag you bought from Ryanair last summer? Jazz it up by tying a stolen Virgin Upper Class label to the handle.
Do: use a car-sharing club, such as Zipcar, allowing you to pass off an Audi A3 as your own.
Don't: get caught swiping the windscreen with Zipcar's card.
Casually drop into conversation that you had a lovely weekend on the estate. Don't let slip that the estate in question is the nearby council estate that you hurry through after dark.
Tell people how much you enjoy the shooting on the estate.
Does the fact that you can't afford more than one pot of Oval Room Blue, Vert de Terre, Breakfast Room Green, Dorset Cream, Rectory Red or Manor House Gray make you weep? Don't worry: Dulux is a lot cheaper than Farrow & Ball. Just make sure to leave the right colour chart lying around your kitchen.
Rightmove lets you search over a million properties for sale. But if you're going to scan the website at work, remember that no one walking past your desk will be impressed unless you put in a suitable minimum price. Houses costing up to £1.5 million should do the trick.
Can't afford to move home? Why not change its name instead. It's relatively simple, involving letters to your local council, the Land Registry, the Electoral Roll, your mortgage lender, your doctor, and anyone else who writes to you. So take the plunge and change your address now to: "47c Smith Street, The Old Rectory, Hull."
If you live in London, remember that every area has two names: the actual name and the one the estate agents call it. Always use the latter. It's not Battersea; it's South Chelsea. It's not Maida Vale; it's (very) North Notting Hill.
If in doubt, use "village" as a suffix. As in: "Yes, I live in Peckham Village – very up and coming."
And if you bump into a casual acquaintance on the Tube journey home, impress them by getting off in zone one – and then walking the final eight miles to your flat in zone four.
Are you a middle manager in charge of a team of two and a budget of £10,000? No, you are what your business card says you are: "Vice President, Marketing (UK, Europe and Middle East)". Make sure everyone sees it.
You're not "between jobs", "taking some time out" or, God forbid, "unemployed" – you're on "gardening leave". Yes, you are gardening the solitary pot plant in your tiny kitchen. It requires a lot of attention.
Do say: "I dabble in a spot of consultancy on the side. It's all about portfolio careers these days, isn't it?"
Don't say: "My job only lets me into the office three days a week, so I spend the other two in my pants at home watching Neighbours."
Can't afford boarding school? No problem. Simply send your children to stay with their grandparents at weekends and pretend they're at Radley.
Annoyed that your daughter narrowly missed out on Oxford – perhaps because you couldn't afford to offer to renovate the college library – and is going to Durham instead? Just tell everyone she's off to Doxbridge.
Embarrassed by the mongrel you picked up from Battersea Dogs Home? Save hundreds of pounds by forging your own five-generation pedigree certificate.
Struggling to keep up with Bupa premiums? Lots of NHS hospitals have private wings attached, so you can still enter by the appropriate door – before scuttling down the corridors to where you belong.
Make sure your credit card looks the part. If in doubt, colour it in with a black felt tip and write "American Express" on the front.
Looking for a Savile Row suit on the cheap? Pick one up from a charity shop, cut out the label and sew it into a suit from Marks & Spencer.
Never accept a Sainsbury's "bag for life" when you can take your own Waitrose bag to Sainsbury's instead.
As above, substituting Lidl for Sainsbury's and Sainsbury's for Waitrose.
Join a public library, if you can still find one, and borrow all their impressive‑looking books. Forget to return them.
Tell anyone who's interested that the reason you bought standing tickets at the Globe has got nothing to do with the £5 price tag and everything to do with getting close to the action.
As above, for the National Theatre, remembering that standing tickets are at the back and therefore you have to say that you prefer the wider angle on the stage.
Always remember to invite people for "kitchen suppers". Then they'll never discover that you don't have a dining room.
Refer to "the old Aga", even if your cooking device is a camping stove.
PG Tips tea bags can be taken out of their box, unstitched and put into biodegradable Teapig tea temples.
Buy a wine decanter.
Remember to throw away the three-litre, £13.29 Lidl wine-in-a-box from which you decanted the wine.

Did Your Loved One Suffer From Nursing Home Abuse in Houston, Texas? We Can Help
Every day thousands of our elderly suffer from nursing home negligence or nursing home abuse. Unfortunately, it's a growing problem in Houston, Texas as well. Chances are, if your family member was a victim others in and around the center have been victims of elderly abuse.
Elder abuse comes in all shapes and forms. Some of the main reports of abuse consist of:
- Physical Abuse
- Negligent Care
- Exploitation
- Sexual Abuse
The nursing home abuse lawyers at Sutliff & Stout in Houston review and investigate claims for injuries suffered as a result of nursing home neglect and abuse throughout the state of Texas, as well as nationwide.
We believe that nursing home lawsuits are important for two primary reasons: 1) provide compensation to victims of abuse; and 2) safeguard against unscrupulous individuals and companies that prey on the elderly and disabled.
If you think that a family member or loved one has suffered a serious physical injury as a result of negligent care, contact our personal injury lawyers in Houston today to schedule a free consultation and claim evaluation.
Types of Nursing Home Cases and Abuse
The most common nursing home injury claims include:
- Bedsores (also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers)
- Dehydration and malnutrition
- Abuse and Assault
- Restraint Injuries and Strangulation
- Falls and Fractures
- Wrongful Death
Other potential medical malpractice claims which may arise for a nursing home resident include:
- Misdiagnosis or Failure to Diagnose
- Prescription Errors
- Medical Mistakes
Bedsores (also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers) are often fatal lesions which occur when prolonged pressure on skin results in extreme damage. Bedsores, also known as pressure sores or ulcers, most frequently afflict parts of the body where skin covers protruding bone structures, such as the heels, ankles, buttocks or hips. Usually categorized into four stages, the extent of damage caused by a bedsore can range from minimal skin irritation to gaping wounds with flesh, muscle and bone loss. Bedsores pose a significant health hazard to the elderly population specifically, and can often be the result of nursing home neglect or abuse. People with limited ranges of motion, or those constrained to a wheelchair or bed, constitute a majority of the population in nursing homes. Inspection of the skin for any possible symptoms of bed sores should be a routine part of nursing home care. Signs that something may be wrong include fever, foul odor and the necessity to drain fluids and infection from the skin.
Dehydration and Malnutrition
Dehydration and malnutrition normally affect certain age groups and demographics more so than others, and the one most commonly afflicted by lack of food and water are the elderly. More often times than not, the maltreatment is not intentional and reflects negligence on behalf of the nursing home staff. Dehydration is caused by two factors: lack of adequate water and fluids, and an excessively warm or hot climate. Many times, family and friends of those in nursing homes recall water being inaccessible or unavailable, as well as room temperatures not being adequately monitored. Malnutrition can also stem from negligence or short-staffing of a nursing home facility. The main type of malnutrition occurs when a person is not given a meal at all, as a punishment or lack of remembrance. The other type happens when insufficient food or nutrients is delivered to people with special needs. Diabetic residents at a nursing home have different nutritional requirements than heart patients at the same place, and overlooking these differences can result in fatalities.
Abuse and Assault
General abuse and assault is a frequent occurrence in nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. It can occur between staff and residents, or even amongst residents themselves. It is the responsibility of nursing home staff to ensure the safety and security of its residents, but far too often nursing home staffing is insufficient or severely under-trained to deal with the problems associated with old age and deteriorating health. Signs of nursing home abuse normally involve both physical and emotional aspects. Visible signs include open wounds, bruising, and burn marks. Other outward warning signs are sudden weight gain or loss, as well as rapid and unexplained hair loss. Emotional abuse can be even more traumatic, and harder to spot too. Insults, humiliation, life threats and frightening residents all constitute types of emotional abuse. If your loved one experiences drastic changes in mood or demeanor, or displays signs of being scared or unwilling to open up, they may be suffering from nursing home abuse and assault.
Restraint Injuries and Strangulation
Restraints should be issued only when it comes to a matter of a resident's safety, and never as a punitive measure. Additionally, restraints can only be used when given under direct physician orders, and the type and duration of restriction is specifically established. It is against the law to subject nursing home residents to chemical restraints as disciplinarian measures, unauthorized corporal seclusion, and physical aggression. Signs of being restrained or strangled include unnatural markings around the throat, ankles or wrists, a newly developed sense of fear of human contact or touch, and general mood changes towards subduedness or depression.
Falls and Fractures
Slip and fall injuries can lead to injuries in all age groups and demographics, but senior citizens sustain the highest number, and severity, of injuries resulting from this type of accident. The most common damage is done to the bone and tendons, resulting in fractures and sprains respectively. A majority of elderly people suffer from some extent of osteoporosis, which results in brittle, easily damaged bones. Additionally, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis make coordination and recovery from heavy falls more difficult. Often, slip and fall injuries can be traced back to maintenance/repair neglect on behalf of nursing home staff, or intentional abuse or contact which leads to a resident's instability and eventual fall.
Wrongful Death
All of the different types of nursing home abuse and neglect listed above can result in the eventual wrongful death of a loved ones. Elderly people do not have the benefit of a strong immune system the way that the younger generation does, and consequently the Infections from bedsores caused by negligence or fractures caused by abuse and intentional misguidance are harder to recover from for them. Only adding to the problem is the frequent understaffing or improperly trained management that many nursing homes exhibit. Nursing homes may try to use old age and deteriorating health as an excuse for a resident's passing, but abuse and neglect can often be found as the underlying cause.
If you think that a family member or loved one has suffered a serious physical injury as a result of negligent care in Houston, contact us today to schedule a free consultation and claim evaluation. Please remember that every claim has a deadline and, thus, it is important that you seek legal advice as soon as possible.

Vertical Speed for Mode-S
The "to-do" list for Virtual Radar Server is as long as my arm, but if you want to pile more work onto it then this is for you.

Vertical Speed for Mode-S
Is there any deliberate reason that VRS (and other 1090 visualization software) does not calculate the vertical speed for non-ADS aircraft? The altitude is provided via DF0 and vertical rate appears a trivial calculation. I could synthesize at the receiver software level and inject, but seems like suplementary calculations should occur at the visualization layer. Was this a deliberate ommision or something worth adding to the legs length backlog? Thanks.
Re: Vertical Speed for Mode-S
VRS just reports the values coming from the transponder. It could calculate the vertical speed but I suspect it's going to get a bit unrealistic when messages are many seconds apart.
