Build Your Own European-Style Charm Bracelet and Charm Beads
Your Bracelet, Just How You Like It
We've always liked the concept of charm bracelets. The idea that you get a tiny object to wear that commemorates an event or reminds you of something special makes us happy. The trick is that with this most recent style of popular bracelets, we've never found anything that really clicked for us. "I could get the faceted glass bead in my birthstone color, and it'd go with a lot of stuff I wear." "Sure, that one with the vines on it is pretty, but it isn't really ME." There wasn't anything out there that allowed us to express our inner geek divas.
And then it struck us. We're ThinkGeek. We could create a line of geek-appropriate beads ourselves! And thus this bracelet was born.
One of our favorite things about these bracelets is that you build them yourself, so the final piece of jewelry really is uniquely yours. If you just consider buying one of each of the beads below and the bracelet, you can stack them in 2,432,902,008,176,640,000 different combinations.
Sterling Silver Bracelet
We had these sterling silver bracelets custom made for us with a toggle closure because we think toggles are so much easier to close with one hand than lobster clasps or twisty things or whatnot. Plus, that gives you a bit more play with the sizing. The toggle bar itself attaches with a lobster clasp to allow you to put beads on and take them off. The chain is 3mm in diameter, which means it fits basically all major brands of bead, whether they have threads or not: PANDORA, Chamilia, and Biagi (sorry, Troll folks). So if you have beads but want the toggle bracelet, chances are your beads will fit on this bracelet. Conversely, if you have a bracelet but want more beads, these beads have really large holes and will fit all major brands of bracelet (including Troll). We have compatibility issues every day with our computers. We don't need them with our jewelry.
Product Specifications
- Each bracelet is made of solid sterling silver.
- Toggle closure for easy on-off.
- Many geeky designs you cannot find at your local jewelry store - available only at ThinkGeek!
- Note: The weave of the silver will eventually cause it to stretch. If that happens to a bracelet that used to fit perfectly, pop another bead on.
- Bling Mushroom Bead not for children under 14.
- Contains small parts. Not for children under 3.
Leather Bracelet/Necklace
We're a fan of dual-purpose here at ThinkGeek. Why carry two things when you could carry one that does both jobs? Hammers that are bottle openers. Axes that are crow bars. But we don't restrict ourselves to tools. We take this approach with all our products. For example, this long, woven leather bracelet wraps around your wrist to offer three times the real estate for beads. Or, if you'd rather, you can choose to wear it as a 24 3/4" necklace. Two pieces of jewelry in one.
We knew we wanted to add a leather bracelet to our jewelry mix, but it took us a few months to find the perfect one which fits every single one of ThinkGeek's European-style beads. We checked. Twice. The lobster clasp is actually dual-sided and removable for ease of adding beads. If you go for the d20 clip, it functions as a stopper bead on this bracelet, which is an added bonus.
Product Specifications
- A modern update to the typical European-style charm bracelet
- Triple-wrap leather charm bracelet doubles as a single-strand necklace
- Materials: leather, double-sided clasp is silver-plated pewter
- Capacity: 7-9 beads (see below)
- Note: Leather stretches. We recommend you do not put heavy beads on this bracelet. After a few months if the leather stretches so that it no longer works as a triple-wrap on you, add another bead to take up the excess slack or wear it as a necklace.
- Dimensions: 24 3/4" long, widest diameter 3.49mm
- Double-sided lobster clasp removes from bracelet entirely if so desired for ease of adding beads and charms
- Weight: 1/4 oz.
- Clean stains with a damp towel and leather conditioner
- Contains small parts. Not for children under 3.

When choosing a bracelet size, measure tightly where your wrist is widest and add an inch. That's your "average" bracelet size for a handful of beads (like the image above). If you plan to put lots of beads on the bracelet, order up a size. As you put more beads on, they effectively tighten the bracelet around your wrist. If you plan to highlight just one or two beads, order a size down. If you're ordering a gift for someone whose wrist size you can't get easily, just go with the 7.5". It's the most common. She can use the trick above (putting beads on and taking them off) to get to a length she's comfortable with.
Bracelets and charms come in small, glossy black jewelry boxes, suitable for gifting. The boxes are lined with tarnish-resistant cotton to keep your jewelry shiny longer when not in use.

With this gear aboard, you may wish your flight were longer.
Flying » Inside the Cabin
August 5, 2013
June 27, 2013
These days on a private jet you not only can fly wherever you want whenever you want, you can also dine en route on whatever you want. Caterers like Alison Price On Air and Bon Soirée of London and Hubert-Marsden Catering of Zurich, Switzerland can provide anything from fois gras with black truffle to chateaubriand with bordelaise sauce to Beluga caviar.

Ten years ago, nobody even talked about lighting aircraft cabins with LEDs. Today, not an airplane rolls out of a completion center that isn't LED from nose to tail. The result: illumination that's brighter, lower maintenance, longer lasting and more economical.
June 27, 2013
In recent years, many luxury fashion and design houses have ventured into the realm of the private jet cabin. Automobile and yacht designers are climbing aboard, too.
June 27, 2013
As the industry recovers from the long recession, sales of used and new aircraft are accelerating. Largely as a result, more and more independent completion and refurbishment shops are building a backlog of orders.
March 18, 2013
Creating a more comfortable cabin is a never-ending goal for the builders of business and private jets and their suppliers. Seats have been redesigned so the passenger no longer slides forward when they're reclined. Carpet makers have created new designs in blends of silk and wool that entice the passenger to walk barefoot.
February 8, 2013
While most aircraft completion and refurbishment centers these days can provide clients with a one-dimensional, computer-generated virtual cabin walk-through in various design phases, some centers now offer much more advanced 3-D virtual interiors. Others are creating real, full-scale mockups that let customers literally enter a replica of the cabin.
August 8, 2012
When it comes to outfitting a new airplane or refurbishing an old one, technology almost invariably tops the list of customer concerns. And no wonder: Innovation is happening at a faster clip than ever before, and buyers now face a dazzling array of choices.
April 2, 2012
A year ago–or three or five, for that matter–it seemed as if private aircraft already offered just about every imaginable onboard luxury. Nevertheless, designers keep stretching their imaginations and, year after year, they deliver new products that can make your flights even more enjoyable than before.
March 26, 2012
中文内容请参看下面的PDF文件 The completion or refurbishment of a modern business jet refers to the process by which the cabin interior is finished or reworked. It is a complex project requiring specialized skills and artistic talent. Here are 10 tips to help you find the right experts and get the ball rolling.
"What we need to do is always lean into the future. When the world changes around you and when it changes against you—what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind—you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn't a strategy. "
-Amazon CEO and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos at a press conference for the third-generation Kindle Fire tablet.

CANANDAIGUA – Thompson Health recently learned that all five of its family practices have been selected as second-year participants in the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) grant administered by the Finger Lakes Health Systems Agency.
Funded by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, CMMI grants support promising new payment and care delivery models for Medicare, Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Through its selection as a participant, Thompson will significantly enhance its five family practices' ongoing transformation to Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) certified by the National Committee for Quality Assurance. The PCMH care delivery model offers a comprehensive, team-based approach to care, focused on preventative care and resulting in greater patient satisfaction and lower hospitalization rates.
The funding received through the CMMI grant will provide trained RN care managers to assist all patients within each practice, a dedicated practice improvement consultant, an additional coordinator to work with the practices on social services integration and a financial award of $440,000 to go towards the practices' transformation to PCMH.
"We are thrilled to be able to participate in the CMMI grant, and grateful for the opportunity to enhance the nursing care coordination in our practices," said Thompson Hospital Director of Practice Management Catherine Shannon.
Thompson has already begun recruiting for care manager positions. Its five family practices, with a total of 13 providers, are located in Canandaigua, Honeoye, Lima, Shortsville and Victor. All five are currently accepting patients. For more information, visit www.ThompsonHealth.com/FamilyPractice.

Of American surnames most frequently appearing in the Social Security Death Index, Curtis ranks at 267 of 50,000. Its derivation is often linked to the word courteous; a characteristic as defined in the Middle Ages of one with courtly manners, refinement or education. Curtis, however, has more than one origin. It also comes from Curthose, a nickname given to someone wearing short stockings. The Middle English word curt (meaning short) was coupled with hose, originally a mans stockings.
WEASELHEAD, DEVIL and DRUNKARD: Surnames Originating As Insults
An article by James Pylant. Surnames developed gradually and casually in the Middle Ages, not through a formal or legal system. In a growing population, there was a need to distinguish people with the same common first names within a village or town, and last names came about as a means of sorting who was who on the tax lists. But oftentimes our ancestors were saddled with surnames originating as uncomplimentary nicknames.

Multi-tasking MamaMarch 26, 2012
I think as a mom we all feel like it's the hardest job in the world. I know I feel blessed to have three wonderful little beings but it's a very challenging job. Having three kids, I find I do a lot of running around, organizing, cleaning and multi-tasking. I actually amaze myself sometimes at what I can accomplish in a day. I guess that's where the old saying comes into play "A mother's job is never done."
My biggest challenge is trying to find balance amongst all the chaos in my household. I know the idea of a calm, organized house seems like something you only see in your dreams. I've decided to take some steps in order to make my dream a reality! Here are a list of things I think will help me stay organized and I hope it helps you too!
1. Get up Before Everyone Else!
I think it's so important to take some time out for yourself in the morning. Make a cup of coffee, start a load of laundry, take a shower and get a head start on the day. Even if it's just 15 minutes, I truly believe it makes all the difference in the world!
2. Make Plan Ahead Meals
I try to make snacks and lunch the night before for school that way I can pop them into their backpacks in the morning. I find it's so much easier. I am also trying to get in the habit of planning out dinner meals for the week so I don't have to stress what to make for dinner. I'm a big fan of crock pot meals and I like to make a lot of those especially in the winter. I find the most stressful times in my house are around dinner time. If I can coordinate meals ahead of time, it seems to flow much easier.
3. Keep a Monthly Calendar on Hand
Life can get hectic with all the appointments, notes and activities and if I don't have a calendar, I'm lost. I keep a monthly calendar with me at all times just so I can keep track of everything. I also track appointments on my cell phone and send myself a reminder 1-2 days before. This is also great for birthday reminders too.
4. Set Time for Yourself
I think it's so important to give yourself a little break too. Even if it's an hour away to clear your head and refresh. A great way to clear your head is to work out. Set up time to go to the gym or take a walk. If you can't get someone to help, take your kids for a walk or sign up at a gym with a daycare built-in.
5. Delegate!
As a mother we feel like we have to "do it all." In other words, we sometimes feel like it's our responsibility to keep the peace and keep things running smoothly. I really think it's a great idea to delegate some of the responsibility. I really like the idea of chore charts. It's a great incentive for kids and it's a great way for moms to lessen the load. I also like the idea of having one day a week that maybe your spouse/partner makes dinner. I've been trying to encourage my kids to bring their dishes to the sink after meals. This is something you could also incorporate in their reward charts.
There you have five steps to becoming a multi-tasking mama! I hope this helps! How do you multi-task?

Artists: Paris Pierides
Paris Tattoos
1820 South Blvd.
Unit 102
Charlotte, NC 28203
What year did you start tattooing?
I started tattooing around 1986 but officially opened my first studio in 1989.
How did you get into tattooing?
Well, I come from a very conservative family. I went to boarding schools in South Africa and graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York. My becoming a tattoo artist was something that has had me alienated from my family for many years—but finally they have accepted me and are even proud of me. My choice of becoming a tattoo artist has been a long and arduous task. The first real influence was an an employee that
my father had called Derek. Dad had a company with gambling machines—slot machines, pinball machines, and jukeboxes. Derek, a former merchant Marine, was the technician. Well, he was covered in sailor tattoos—which looked so unusual, considering we lived in Central Africa, Zambia, which is a landlocked country. So seeing Derek's tattoos was like something out of a science fiction movie. I was totally thrilled by this as a kid. It was later on during my university years that I started considering making the move over to becoming a professional tattoo artist. In 1983 I saw tattoos in New York City while on my way to classes at Parsons School
of Design. I stopped over at a pet shop; the guy working there suddenly appeared, covered with ornate tattoos. It was the first time I had seen such intricate work. It totally blew me away. That was the defining moment in which I decided tattooing was what I wanted to do. In those days tattooing was illegal. I went on my way, but the bug started gnawing away at me. This is what I really wanted to do.
Where did you apprentice?
I never really did get a formal apprenticeship like you see on TV. Phil Bond, in Torquay, England, was my biggest inspiration. He saw my raw talent and was patient enough to spend precious time showing me the basics of tattooing and his techniques. But more importantly, he explained that I would develop my own techniques, like in drawing and painting each artist has their own style. Phil suggested I open near a prison and get the word out that I was doing free tattoos. That way I would get a lot of experience. The people who were less fortunate would seize upon the opportunity to get their awful tattoos made a little better. That way both would benefit. So that's pretty much what I did. I opened an amateur studio right next door to the Central Prisons in Nicosia, Cyprus. That was my schooling.
What conventions have you worked at? Have you won any awards?
I started out as a guest at Mad Hatter's Tea Party in Portland, ME, I think in 1995 or '96. Trevor Marshall, the New Zealand tribal tattoo artist, invited me to share a booth with him. Soon after I was invited to the Dunstable Tattoo Expo by Ian of Reading. I won a bunch of those conventions. Then Steve Bonge invited me to the New York City Roseland Tattoo Convention, which I participated in up until the attacks of 2001. The biggest award was from the American government; it's called the EB-1 visa. This is for "extraordinary outstanding artistic achievement." This award is for the most talented people in the world and affords permanent residence to the United States. The typical recipient is an Academy Award winner or Nobel Prize winner. I applied a couple of years ago at the advice of a friend here in America. I sent close to 900 pages of evidence and won the case overwhelmingly.
How do you describe your style?
Painterly. I think the new work gets away from the rigidity and hard lines of Cyprus. I am trying to have the tattoos have a combination of power and delicacy. I want the work to complement the body and emphasize the beautiful shapes of the body. So I guess I would describe my style as sensual.
What inspires you as an artist?
People and beauty. I feel inspired by the very people I tattoo. Artistically I am inspired by other incredible tattoo artists and painters, and that just seems to get stronger. As I discover amazing artists, so does my own interest increase. I open my heart and mind to other artists' views and ideas; therefore my own art grows emphatically. I strive to better myself all the time. Music and my passion for building stereo equipment keeps my mind flourishing. I want to have artists around me and am looking for very talented tattoo artists
to work with me.
What other media do you work in?
Pencil. Pen and ink mainly. But I also do oil painting and, very rarely, airbrushing. I want to do watercolors
and get into sculpture. I did some fiberglass body casting sculpture in England years ago; that's something I would like to do with fiber optics and tattoo designs also. Hopefully if I can get employees I will be able to get back into the arts more.
What tattoo artists do you admire most?
Boris from Hungary. Filip Leu from Switzerland. Shige from Japan. The Greeks are so surprising—Kostas from Thessaloniki, Greece, and Nico from Thessaloniki, Greece. They have really impressed me immensely.
What kind of tattoos do you look forward to doing?
Very painterly, with fluid colors and shapes with certain specific areas detailed. I am trying to experiment—realistic foreground main subjects, and fantasy dreamlike-quality backgrounds. I have been getting into creating a collage of floral shapes with a dreamy out-of-focus look with contrasting sharp and detailed classical pieces, like Bernini-style statues.
Before someone gets a tattoo, what advice do you give them?
Patience is key. Good things come to those who wait.
Is there a tattoo that you haven't done yet that you are dying to do?
I am trying new techniques all the time. So it's more the techniques and the way I tattoo rather than the
subject matter. So I am eager to tattoo the style I have been working on this last year in America, which is a mix of color and black-and-gray. Let's say it's a work in progress.

GE Aviation Leads Airspace Modernization Effort in Brazil
GE Aviation is leading a government-industry effort to improve Brazilian air traffic management and airspace usage, as the company works with stakeholders to implement the Green Skies of Brazil program.
The program, a multi-year effort encompassing 10 airports, is the result of a two-year research program where Brazilian air navigation service provider DECEA and Brazilian airlines used flight data analytics to identify methods for improving airspace usage. GE's flight analytics platform identified areas for improvement and helped officials determine the value of deploying Required Navigation Performance (RNP) procedures.
"Once the RNP paths are deployed, GE Aviation's Flight Analytics platform will analyze actual flight and operational data to support optimization, validate the cost savings and identify additional areas for improvements," said Giovanni Spitale, general manager of GE Aviation's flight efficiency services. "This may include optimizing the paths for additional fuel and track mile savings, vertical profile reduction, capacity gains, runway throughput or environmental improvements."
GOL is the first carrier to participate in the program, which has determined that the airline could save up to $24 million in operating costs over the next five years by using RNP flight paths.
Initial flight paths have been deployed at Santos Dumont airport, with plans to launch them at nine other airports in the near future.

Stephen Smith and O.Lassila
Proceedings ARPA-Rome Laboratory Planning Initiative Workshop, 1994.
|In this paper, we discuss work aimed at the development of interactive decision-support tools for complex, large-scale scheduling applications. Our approach is grounded on three basic premises: (1) that system organization and decision-support "services" should directly reflect the inherently reactive nature of decision-making in complex scheduling environments, (2) that diversity in the character and requirements of various user tasks will invariably require different specialized scheduling services in different decision-making contexts, and (3) that problem scale and complexity will necessitate user interaction at aggregate, task-oriented levels. We describe DITOPS, a transportation scheduling tool which integrates a hierarchical modeling infra-structure and reactive scheduling methodology with graphical schedule visualization and manipulation capabilities to provide a flexible interactive environment for construction and management of transportation schedules.

Can you turn your one-hour lunch break into an effective training session? The answer is yes, but it requires a little planning
"Spring is the time of year when the first races are not too far off and we need to control our pace, as well as know what paces we can perform at. Both sessions here address these points – the difficult one is swimming. In a race we cannot keep looking at our heart-rate monitor or stopwatch," says Bill Black, who coached the GB Men's Triathlon Team at the Sydney Olympics. "But if we train at a certain pace in the pool we can keep cross-checking with the clock – plus every length is usually 25 metres," he says."These one-hour sessions are not only practised by novices but also by elite and world-class triathletes."
This pace-control session should take around 45 minutes to complete.
Fartlek sessions [hard, medium and slow running over various distances during a session, from the Swedish term meaning 'speed play'] are a good way of improving your pace and replicating the surges you would expect during a race. Beginners tend to run at the same pace and this session will help you speed up by building up your pace as the run progresses. This can be done in a park, on a road or on a treadmill.
"For beginners it's initially about working towards being able to cover race distance. So if you are limited to an hour you have to make sure you use that time efficiently," says Paula Dewar, coach at VO2 Maximum Triathlon Coaching. "With swimming you would benefit from concentrating on drills. In my opinion, efficient swimming means faster swimming."
The beauty of running is that you can mix it up easily. Try a fartlek session with speed work, using the local terrain. "This will help your strength and allow you to switch speeds during the run section if you need to. It can also help prepare you to race over different terrains and it adds variety to training," says Dewar.
Dewar suggests using local landmarks such as lampposts to vary the distances that you pick up the pace. Run hard to a landmark, jog to recover, run to the next landmark, recover, and so on. "It's important to emphasise variety and if you are using the same circuit around the streets or a park you can start to measure your speed as you progress through the weeks."
"This session has less swimming than you might expect, but this is compensated by the injury prevention for the shoulders, the core work and stretching," says Simon Ward, founder of www.thetriathloncoach.com. "All have benefits far beyond the credit given to them by most triathletes."Shoulder exercises (six minutes)
Core strengthening (five minutes)
This circuit includes high-intensity running intervals as well as a general full-body conditioning routine. "Research has shown that while a strength routine like this may not directly help athletes to run faster, they often achieve a better running economy at the same top-end speed," says Ward.
40-minute circuit, comprising:
(Perform each conditioning exercise for 30 seconds and rest for 30 seconds). Complete three circuits of this and finish with:
"In a 60-minute run probably only half of the running would be of a decent quality so this actually provides a better workout, despite the apparently lower volume of running," says Ward. For more information log on to www.thetriathloncoach.comInternal rotationFix a resistance band to something solid (door handle, wall bar etc) at hip height and then take hold of one end in each hand. Stand side-on to the fixing point with it on your right and tuck your right elbow into your ribs. Hold the other end of the band down out of the way. Start with some tension in the band and rotate your arm inwards until your arm is across the front of your body. Keeping the elbow pressed into the rib cage slowly let the arm rotate outwards until you reach a comfortable end point. Repeat for the left arm.
External rotationFix the resistance band to something solid at hip height and then take hold of one end in each hand. Stand side-on to the fixing point with it on your right and tuck your right elbow into your ribs. Hold the other end of the band down out of the way. Start with your right arm across your chest, with some tension in the band and then, keeping the elbow pressed into the rib cage, slowly rotate the arm outwards, increasing tension throughout the movement until you reach a comfortable end point. Return to the start position by allowing your arm to rotate inwards until the arm is across the front of your body. Repeat for the left arm.Shoulder extensionsFix the resistance band to something solid at hip height. Take hold of one end in each hand. Stand facing the fixing point, arms straight, hands by your sides. Stand far enough away to create tension. Extend both arms back about 15-20cm and slowly return the hands to the hips. Repeat.Shoulder retractionsFix the resistance band to something solid at shoulder height and take hold of one end in each hand. Stand facing the fixing point, far enough away to create some tension, arms straight out in front. Squeeze the shoulder blades together. Then allow them to stretch apart. There will be a very small movement stretching and relaxing the band but remember to keep the arms straight throughout. Repeat.

Expert tips for planning your post-work life.
"Most people don't want to deal with retirement�it�s boring and accountant-y,� says Sydney Lagier, 49, who blogs about retirement at Retiredsyd.typepad.com. �Plus, it seems far away and not real enough to get motivated to save.� But denial won�t put bucks in the bank. Lagier, who retired five years ago from her job at a San Francisco Bay-area venture capital company, offers these tips for creating your own exit plan. Define retirement. It�s not all golf or tennis or travel�many retirees nowadays continue to work. �Think about what you want on the other side,� says Lagier. Calculate costs. Figure out what you spend now, then estimate what expenses will change�like health insurance, commuting and wardrobe. Subtracting Social Security income from projected costs will give you your shortfall, which you�ll have to make up for with savings, earnings or cutting �budget fluff.� �Our fluff was travel,� Lagier says. �Now we do house exchanges and use airline miles.� FROM OUR SISTER SITE: Choosing Your Retirement Locale� Save smart. Take advantage of your work�s 401(k) retirement plan, says Lagier, and explore savings options if you are self- employed, such as a simplified employee pension plan (SEP). See a financial advisor. Schedule a first visit about 10 years before you plan to retire and again close to retirement. �A planner can tell you what you have to do to make your plan work,� Lagier says. �I did it, and I�m a CPA.� Take it slow. When the big day comes, don�t jump into a dozen commitments. Take time to discover the new, retired you. Brought to you by: Spry Living

Monitoring a pet's diet and exercise is essential, as pet owners need to make sure their dog maintains a healthy body weight. If you notice that your canine companion has experienced unplanned weight loss—either rapidly or over time, this could be indicative of a serious health issue, and you should bring your pet to an animal hospital as soon as possible.
Some weight loss problems can be attributed to dietary issues, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. These could include a poor quality diet or even a change in diet that your dog does not find palatable or has significantly less calories than a previous food. More concerning causes of weight loss include anorexia, swallowing or regurgitation issues, vomiting, diarrhea or maldigestion or malabsorption disorders. Cancer present anywhere in the body can also cause significant weight loss.
When you take your dog to the vet clinic, your vet will obtain a full medical history and perform a thorough physical examination. They may also recommend blood and urine tests and possibly radiographs for your dog. This will help narrow down the possibilities of what is causing the excessive weight loss. Once a diagnosis is made, your vet will develop a treatment regimen tailored to your pet's illness.
The prognosis of an animal suffering from excessive weight loss can vary greatly depending on the illness. Following the diagnosis and treatment detail, your vet will likely provide you with more information on what you can expect in the coming weeks and months.

It can kill suddenly, and it can kill those who sniff for the first time.
Every year, young people in this country die of inhalant abuse. Hundreds suffer severe consequences, including permanent brain damage, loss of muscle control, and destruction of the heart, blood, kidney, liver, and bone marrow.
Today more than 1,000 different products are commonly abused. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported in 1996 that one in five American teenagers have used inhalants to get high.
Many youngsters say they begin sniffing when they're in grade school. They start because they feel these substances can't hurt them, because of peer pressure, or because of low self-esteem. Once hooked, these victims find it a tough habit to break.
These questions and answers will help you identify inhalant abuse and understand what you can do to prevent or stop this problem.
Inhalant abuse is the deliberate inhalant or sniffing of common products found in homes and schools to obtain a "high."
Sniffing can cause sickness and death. For example, victims may become nauseated, forgetful, and unable to see things clearly. Victims may lose control of their body, including the use of arms and legs. These effects can last 15 to 45 minutes after sniffing.
In addition, sniffing can severely damage many parts of the body, including the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys.
Even worse, victims can die suddenly -- without any warning. "Sudden Sniffing Death" can occur during or right after sniffing. The heart begins to overwork, beating rapidly but unevenly, which can lead to cardiac arrest. Even first-time abusers have been known to die from sniffing inhalants.
Ordinary household products, which can be safely used for legitimate purposes, can be problematic in the hands of an inhalant abuser. The following categories of products are reportedly abused: glues/adhesives, nail polish remover, marking pens, paint thinner, spray paint, butane lighter fluid, gasoline, propane gas, typewriter correction fluid, household cleaners, cooking sprays, deodorants, fabric protectors, whipping cream aerosols, and air conditioning coolants.
If someone is an inhalant abuser, some or all these symptoms may be evident:
Inhalant abusers also may exhibit the following signs:
There is no typical profile of an inhalant abuser. Victims are represented by both sexes and all socioeconomic groups throughout the U.S. It's not unusual to see elementary and middle-school age youths involved with inhalant abuse.
There are many scenarios for how young people die of inhalant abuse. Here are some of them:
One of the most important steps you can take is to talk with your children or other youngsters about not experimenting even a first time with inhalants. In addition, talk with your children's teachers, guidance counselors, and coaches. By discussing this problem openly and stressing the devastating consequences of inhalant abuse, you can help prevent a tragedy.
Be alert for symptoms of inhalant abuse. If you suspect there's a problem, you should consider seeking professional help.

Always love to see Rob and Kristen together having fun. A beautiful couple and I wish them the best of luck. Love you Rob and Kristen!ReplyDelete
Kristen just wears one plain white shirt, and continues to be the most beautiful woman! Nobody can shine more than her.ReplyDelete
They look so happy. This is the real deal. Rob's smile is so disarming and Kristen's smile is intoxicating. Man, I love these two. My husband and daughter swears that if I am still obsessing over Rob and Kristen after BD2 came out, they were going to do an intervention. Whatever. Some people like fast cars, some money, some shoes or jewelry, some love drugs, for me, its Robsten. So let them bring on that darn intervention, like its going to help.ReplyDelete

your die hard fans.But i live in a faraway/milliom distance from USA.Robsten fans in America your all lucky.
I am so obsessed with them. We should all probably be committed.LOL! I notice Kristen's v-neck tee is tied in a knot. Usually means she is wearing one of Rob's! They look so happy. So glad they found each other. Their love story will definitely, pardon the pun, eclipse Edward and Bella's. Just a great couple.
I heard Rob say that other fans are devoted but that Twilight fans are certifiable. He's right. LOL! It's their fault! If they weren't so gorgeous and down-to-earth then we wouldn't be such nut jobs! They drive us crazy! LOL!!!! ;) And they can just keep right on doing so!!
Kristen is such a beautiful, smiling girl.ReplyDelete
I love this gorgeous woman. And her smile, ah...ReplyDelete
I feel the same way you do.If you go to intervention you want be alone.ReplyDelete
I don't think intervention will work. We will just show them why we are so obsessed and then the inverventers will joing us. THERE IS NO HOPE! LOL!! I've had a long weekend and am a little nutty. Really love Rob and Kristen. And not just because of Twilight. They are just a great couple. Period.ReplyDelete
the truth is , I'm not a twihard , just watching the movie to see these two gorgeous people, I'm crazy for them as person, and the fact that they're a couple drives me buts !
if I'm not Robsessed enough then I'll be Krisbian, so this is my best place along with Robsessed , good to be here ;)
I don't get why some fans of rob or kristen don't get along ? I love all the fans , krisbian are cuties they are strong group just don't mess with kristen they are all right , they just love her like me... And I am just a mom who adore kristen ( : creepy.. Me ! Haha....Delete
I agree with you ! Why can't people just get along?
I love Rob and Kristen for who they are and that includes their flaws.
But most especially I admire them for how they've handle the craziness.
Yet you go to some sites and all there is bashing and name calling. It's disheartening to read things that I'm sure both Rob and Kristen would find distasteful.
I wish them both all the best in the future and I can't wait for their next films to come out.
Rob is looking so gorgeous ...Lucky fans !ReplyDelete
Robs jaw line is to die for ...:)ReplyDelete
Rob is so so sexy! I love this man.ReplyDelete
Rob, you take me away! Your just so so hot!ReplyDelete
Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate <3

I am concerned that good music is getting lost and that people's cd deposits are getting left in the cupoard of doom.
Has anyone put anything new on the jukebox recently? Maybe we could just note here when something NEW comes in and either
1) needs to be imported to the jukebox or
2) something new is in the Jukebox Library
then we can be listening to the latest forest hits right away.
Start the listings NOW and don't forget to ask all performers for a copy of thier cd. Let the rumble Grow.

iPhone 5S for Next Year: Rumor
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The Apple (AAPL) rumor mill is like the Energizer bunny -- it just keeps going and going and going.
Last week came rumors that Apple was reportedly going to start trial production on the iPhone 5S. That may be true (or not, given the source). Now the same source, DigiTimes, is saying that Apple will release the iPhone 5S in mid-2013, citing market observers.
"Apple is expected to introduce its next-generation iPad and iPhone series around the middle of 2013, which will boost demand for ICs in particular communications related chips during the latter half of the first quarter, according to the observers. Component orders placed by Apple, which climbed to high levels prior to the iPhone 5 rollout, will rise again between March and April, the observers indicated," DigiTimes noted.
Apple moved around the launch of its iPhone from June to the September/October time frame with the release of the iPhone 4S, so this rumor is not consistent with Apple's recent iPhone launches. Apple has been known to change things in the past (announcing the fourth-gen iPad last month), but a mid-2013 iPhone 5S seems off.
Apple shares were soaring in early Monday trading, up 3.87% to $548.08.

Hitting The Road? Here's How To Find Fish Away From Home
May 11, 2012
Since so many of you are planning to take your boat on vacation with you this summer, we thought it might help to go through a few ideas to help you make the most of your time on the water. Today, let's take a look at some ways you can tap into "local knowledge" when you decide to wet a line in a new area.
Sure, you know your home fishing hole like the back of your hand. You know what bait to use and when to use it. You know exactly where everyone dumps old Christmas trees in the lake to build up a perfect fish structure. You know where the hardcore, on-the-water-at-4 a.m. guys go — mainly because you're one of them. You know all that. What you may not know is where to find those honey-holes while you're on the road.
Use The "Other" Net
Whether you're hitting the Gulf Coast, Flaming Gorge or Lake Texoma, you'll do yourself a favor by doing a little legwork before you get there. Spend some time on the Internet, and you'll be amazed at what you find. Many times the Chamber of Commerce or the local fishing guide association will have posted some great information to influence anglers like you to spend some time (and money) in their community. You may not find too many specifics, but you'll likely track down what's biting when and get a good idea about the proper bait and gear you'll need. Also, check out www.takemefishing.org. You won't believe how much good information they have, plus you can download a free smartphone app that uses your location to find launch ramps, bait shops and just about anything else you'd need for your trip.
Talk It Up
Once you've done your computer research, it's time to go old school and start "talking" to people. You know that bait shop you found? It's in their best interest to put you on some fish. You'll be back. And you'll buy fuel, snacks, ice, and, of course, more bait. And anything else you forgot. Just make sure you're listening to the guy behind the counter, and not the silver-tongued angler who's just hanging around the shop. He may have a vested interested in steering you the wrong way. Another great source for information is local guides. In fact, you can take some of the pressure off and get to the fish faster if you hire a guide for your first day. For a reasonable fee, they can get you to the secret fishing holes quickly, and you can spend more time hauling in your catch.
Be A Good Visitor
If you're on vacation, chances are other anglers might have the same idea. As you spend time with the locals, show them the appropriate respect. You're a visitor. Be a good one. That means paying up for current fishing licenses for you and your family (as required) and knowing the keeper species and catch limits. Practicing a catch and release policy for any fish you don't plan on consuming during your trip is the responsible thing to do. And it provides a good lesson for the young anglers on your crew. And make sure that you pack out a little more than you packed in. Nothing can ruin a great fishing hole like out-of-towners who leave a body of water more polluted than they found it. Go beyond "No Littering" and pick up extra trash you see.

Hostel of the Sun is an ideal place to stay while visiting beautiful Napoli. We are walking distance from the Historical Center, Castel Nuovo, Palazzo Reale, Palazzo Plebiscito, and the fabulous shopping on Via Toledo- to name a few. Two of Naples most historic and loved Pizzerias, (Gino Sorbillo and Di Matteo), are a ten minute walk from our doorstep.
Hostel of the Sun has by far the best location coming from the Airport, Train Station and Ferry Ports. If you are planning to discover the city, and make day trips to all of Naples' surroundings this is the perfect place to be.
We love Napoli, however if you wish to venture outside of the city, we are a 5 minute walk to the ferry terminal with frequent departures to Capri and Ischia. From this same terminal there are also busses to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. Just 20 metres from our door you'll find the metro line Linea 1 "università" that runs every 5 minutes to and from the Stazione Centrale.
The ALIBUS shuttle bus from the Naples Airport (Capodichino) is just 200 metres from the hostel, where buses depart every 20 minutes. The journey takes just 25 minutes and costs 3 euros.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — A former president of South Africa says he expects Nelson Mandela to soon be discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home.
South Africa's Eyewitness News reported on Sunday that Thabo Mbeki was speaking at a memorial service Saturday when he predicted that Mandela would be going home.
Mandela has been hospitalized for more than five weeks for a recurring lung infection, sparking an outpouring of support in South Africa and internationally. Friends who have visited him say he is on life support in the form of mechanical ventilation. The most recent official update on his health said Mandela was in critical but stable condition.
The anti-apartheid hero spent 27 years in prison before becoming South Africa's first black president in 1994. He turns 95 on Thursday.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (514 votes).
In short: Must Do EventIn full: Goes without saying this is one of the toughest marathons in the UK, but at the same time one of the most enjoyable and rewarding. Great organisation, amazing scenery, killer hills, great support,bespoke medal. Shame it is unlicensed and only 26 miles rather than 26.2. Date of review: March 4, 2014
In short: 2013 race reviewIn full: Unable to review races beyond 2012 anywhere which seems strange!Done it 2yrs on the trot 2012/2013 and I will be back next year.Once you've run this race it becomes addictive.Some serious hills in the marathon and normally strong winds.Great marshalls and amazing feed stations.The only major issue is the lack of toilets. Please, please, please put more portaloos outside around the marque instead of just 2!In 2013 they ran a 10km as well, so the toilet situation became even more acute.The final gripe is that now there is a marathon and 10km being run on the same day the parking is starting to get tricky.I love this race and I will be back every year if possible.Sort out the toilet situation and this is the perfect race.Seems to get more popular each year.Date of review: December 6, 2013
In short: 2013 Race ReviewIn full: Still as great an event as when I first encountered it in February 1985 with snow on the ground and then known as the Seven Sisters Marathon.No snow this year, just glorious weather all day and with a welcome strong westerly breeze to assist in the final 10k over the Seven Sisters cliffs, which must be the hardest finish to a marathon anywhere. Great bonhomie throughout with the traditional Scots Piper atop the first steep climb from the start and bands to entertain runners as they pass through villages enroute. As ever an event for the marathon gastronome with food aplenty at the many feeding stations and a filling hot meal at the finish in St Bedes school.Phenomenal scenery every inch of the way.Unforgettable. Date of review: November 16, 2013
In short: Not flat...!In full: First marathon, baptism of fire. My Garmin registered 3,900 feet of climbing. The organisation was fantastic, loads of checkpoints & supportive marshals. Wide choice of food & drink at checkpoints (fruit cake, sticky buns, sausage rolls (!), water, squash, tea)*** I did the 2013 BHM but no link on Runners World to review it, hence doing the review under 2012. Maybe 2013 BHM didn't happen & I just dreamt it...?!?!Date of review: November 6, 2013
In short: very tough but rewardingIn full: well was my 4th marathon and 1st at this particular race and wow did i do enough training up to 65 miles per week and many many miles up long steep hills on the sussex downs so well prepared for this one or so i thought , it was cruel and last 6 to 7 miles a killer but great pride afterwards but crawled down hill and suffered but next day no pains at all and quite proud meself i did it in 4 hours 16 in 232 position so 45 mins away from mr pb so dont expect to do anything like yr best as impossible as i found out the course was excellent with super views but 7 sisters at end are very tough so be prepared but hot cross buns mars bars chunks at water stations lol , but excellent organisation even a printed slip with time and position seconds after crossing line , hopefully im mad enough to come back even thought sat nite i promised no way , only negative was not enough mile markers as only saw 3 at 4 8 and 12 miles but well done and thanks to all who organised and stood there helping and all the runners :0Date of review: October 31, 2013
In short: Outstanding. My first ever marathon, let alone trail marathon. Tough as nails, but exhilarating all the way.Date of review: November 6, 2012
In short: Uphill all the way wasn't it? but worth it for the viewsDate of review: November 2, 2012
In short: As tough as expected but an excellent race.In full: Great course, but extremely tough, with pockets of energetic support en route and very enthusiastic marshals all the way. Impeccable organisation from what I saw. A huge sense of achievement afterwards. Well done and thanks to all involved in making it work.Date of review: October 31, 2012
In short: You know you are alive after this one!In full: The 1st half of the race incredibly difficult due to the little breeze! The way back was dominatied by glorious sunshine , views and a helpful wind. Then the 7 sisters brought about fatigue.........marshalls were amazing!Date of review: October 30, 2012
In short: Very tough but was warned to can't blame anyone ! Brilliant event and I will be back.Date of review: October 30, 2012
