So. With help from an internet search, we have a better solution for our sometimes incontinent 16 year old Diana and wet doggie beds. We wash the covers of her beds in the washing machine, but the mattresses must be washed by hand and hung out to dry, which becomes a problem in rainy weather.
I searched online for a waterproof cover for Diana's mattresses for her three beds, but I could not find the right size, except for one item which received rather poor reviews. An online source suggested large size trash bags as a temporary solution, but I don't see why the trash bag solution should be only temporary. Since Diana's beds are large, the 39 gallon size bags fit perfectly with just a bit of overlap, enough to seal with mailing tape. Aside from frequent washing of the covers, providing a clean bed for Diana has become much easier.
Diana loves her beds. The three are alike, and she luxuriates in them. Before we found this style, she tore to pieces every bed we bought.
4 comments:
What a clever solution. I must remember that when Neo gets older. He also likes his beds, that he uses during the day, but when it comes to night-time, I have a little fuzzy little guy who sleeps on the bed. Hopefully we have many more years before incontinence becomes an issue and he needs diapers.

Ask A Tech if This Rack Fits Your Car
This rack is perfect for my mountain bike with disc brakes. The rack was easy to install and fits snug on the aftermarket oval cross-bars. The low-profile of the rack helps reduce wind drag and noise.

I have two of the TieRods and two Thule Echelons on top of my VW factory accessory crossbars. I've used the Echelons for about 3 years. The Tierods are about 2months old but have seen alot of use already this summer. The Tierod is without a doubt a far superior rack. It installs/adjusts positions/removes in under two minutes. Use a cordless driver to turn the hexbolt. There's no rattle (like the Thule) and the bikes are rock solid. I highly recommend the tierod over the Thule Echelon.

Preakness Stakes News
Going back for thirds: McGregor-Diaz buzz reminds us of these classic trilogies
The superstitious belief that bad things tend to happen in threes doesn't seem to hold water in the sporting world. That thought became evident again this week with the clamoring for a third UFC fight between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz , almost from the moment McGregor's arm was raised as the
Dream for Nyquist, trainer O'Neill, sinks in Pimlico mud
BALTIMORE -- They cracked jokes and exchanged fist bumps, so relaxed and confident in their horse that at one point, millionaire owner Paul Reddam, plopped on a plastic bin, stifled a yawn. This was 90 minutes before the Preakness -- the race that would either set Nyquist up to follow in the gilded
Exaggerator passes Nyquist at start of homestretch, wins Preakness
For the first time in five races against his rival, Exaggerator beat Nyquist to win the 141st Preakness Stakes on Saturday. Racing on a sloppy track, the Kentucky Derby runner-up eased past Nyquist at the start of the homestretch and held on for a victory at Pimlico. It was the first loss in nine
Exaggerator Wins the Preakness ; Nyquist Finishes Third
Exaggerator pulled away from Nyquist down the stretch to win the Preakness States, dashing the previously undefeated Kentucky Derby winner's bid for the triple crown. Exaggerator took the lead at the top of the stretch and bolted through the mud to a 3 1/2-length victory over Cherry Wine. Nyquist,
Winning Horse Dies After First Race at Pimlico
The 9-year-old horse named Homebykris collapsed and died suddenly after completing the race with no signs of trouble.
Rain soaks Pimlico Race Course; Nyquist trainer not concerned
BALTIMORE -- A steady rain soaked Pimlico Race Course on Saturday morning, and the forecast for the rest of the way was anything but sunny on Preakness Day. The National Weather Service predicted a 100 percent chance of rain throughout the day, along with wind at gusts of up to 20 mph. That would
Homeboykris dies after win; Pramedya euthanized after breaking leg
In a tragic start to Preakness day, multiple horses have died during racing at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. Homeboykris had rallied to win the day's first race by a half-length on a rainy Saturday. After having his picture taken in the winner's circle, he collapsed and died on his walk back to
Homeboykris collapses, dies after win at Pimlico Race Course
BALTIMORE -- In a tragic start to Preakness day, the winner of the first race at Pimlico Race Course has died on his walk back to the barn. Homeboykris had rallied to win the race by a half-length on a rainy Saturday. After having his picture taken in the winner's circle, he collapsed and died.
Nyquist carries hopes of a sport into Preakness
BALTIMORE -- The forecast calls for rain on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course, and not in the half-committed partly cloudy/partly sunny vernacular of the typical weatherperson. No, there's a 100 percent chance of the wet stuff by the latest calculations, with perhaps as much as an inch expected to

So, about our budget fashion and style advice: We sometimes use affiliate links, so we might earn a buck or two if you click and buy :) !
Summer's on its last legs, but there are still plenty of months for swimming ahead of us (especially if you live down south). Now's the time to take advantage of great swimwear deals. To get you started, we've tracked down five bikinis that won't hurt your budget. Whether you're looking for a suit that will flatter your curvy figure or you're going retro, we've got a bikini (or two) for you.
Fringe Halter Bikini, $46, Victoria's Secret
In case you haven't heard, VS has got something like 100 bikinis for under $49, but of all of them (and yes, we looked at all of them), we were the most obsessed with this one. The exotic look is huge right now, and what place better to indulge in your bohemian side than the beach?
Navy Polka Dot Bikini, $49, Topshop
If Helen Mirren can wear polka dots to the beach, so can you. Sweet spots are the season's favorite print, and why not? They look adorable on literally everyone. We love the retro vibe of this Topshop bikini and think this is the perfect look for your fun in the sun.
Ruffled Halter Bikini, $47, Express
Unleash your inner bondgirl in this golden-hued python suit. The print is very Spring/Summer 2011, and the ruffles are genius for a petite girl who wants to create the illusion of a more voluptuous bust a la 007.
Kenneth Cole Reaction Swimsuit, $44, Macy's
Not all bikinis are created equal, which means they don't all have to show practically everything. You can still leave a little to the imagination while keeping your girly bits in check in a bikini with full coverage, like this Kenneth Cole confection. This no-fuss swimsuit keeps you covered in more ways than one, allowing you to focus on more important things, like sunbathing.
Mix & Match Separates, $19 per piece, Old Navy
Can't pick just one bikini to rock this summer? We don't blame you, but indecisiveness can get expensive. Thanks to retailers like Old Navy, you can afford to be a little wishy-washy. For less than $40, you can get started with two pieces, then add tops and bottoms of various cuts and colors as you go.

Prevalence of Coxielle Burnetii anbitodies in Danish Dairy herds
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2010
During recent years in Denmark higher rates of antibodies to Coxiella burnetii have been detected in animals and humans than previously reported. A study based on bulk tank milk samples from 100 randomly selected dairy herds was performed to estimate the prevalence and geographical distribution of antibody positive dairy herds. Using the CHEKIT Q-Feber Antibody ELISA Test Kit (IDEXX), the study demonstrated a prevalence of 59% antibody positive herds, 11% antibody intermediate herds and 30% antibody negative herds based on the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The geographical distribution does not indicate a relationship between the regional density of dairy farms and the prevalence of antibody positive dairy farms. The result supports the hypothesis of an increase in the prevalence of positive dairy herds compared to previous years.

You can learn how ancient civilizations carried out mathematical calculations with the help of an abacus. A counting tool, the abacus was quite popular with Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Oriental cultures of the past, and is still used in the modern world by some people to conduct day-to-day business. Using the Chinese abacus is not very difficult, once you understand how this counting tool works. Familiarize yourself with the abacus and manipulate it to perform basic calculations such as addition and subtraction equations.
Step 1
Familiarize yourself with the layout of the Chinese abacus which has several columns of beads that are separated by a crossbar. The five beads below the crossbar represent one unit each, while the two beads above the crossbar represent five units each. The beads that you push against the bar will represent the numbers that you are calculating.
Step 2
Understand that each column has a decimal value attached to it. The first column on the right represents a decimal value of one, i.e. digits from 1 to 9; the second, ten decimals; the third, hundred decimals; and so on.
Step 3
Set the abacus at "zero" or "start" mode by moving all the beads away from the crossbar. If a bead is positioned near the crossbar or towards it, it implies that the abacus has been activated and has a value.
Step 4
Add numbers on the abacus by registering them on the beads in the same straight-forward left-to-right sequence that you would write them in. To add 6+2, move one bead down from the first column situated above the crossbar which represents five units. Move one bead up from below the crossbar, which represents one unit. This placement on the abacus represents six digits. Move two beads up toward the crossbar, from the lower portion of the same column, to arrive at the total value of eight digits, which is obtained by reading the position of the beads on the abacus.
Step 5
Subtract numbers by first representing the number to be subtracted on the abacus, and moving beads away from below and/or above the crossbar. To subtract 9-7, first place the digit 9 on the abacus. Move one bead situated above the crossbar, representing five units, and two beads situated below the crossbar away from it. The remaining two beads represent your result.

This year a lighter weight version, Snug too, became available, adapted for worsted weight yarns like Drops Karisma or Cascade 220, in the same 4 sizes. This one is 17 sts to 10 cm / 4 inch.
There's an ebook that contains both versions of the pattern
Snug is a simple baby and toddler cardigan, knit in squishy garter stitch. The pattern is designed in one piece, there's just some seaming at the shoulders and neck.
The clever construction may seem fiddly to some, for others it offers an opportunity to learn some handy techniques, while being an entertaining knit for the more advanced.
Garter stitch knitted sideways makes for a very stretchy fabric, so it should fit for quite a while, as a jacket keeping the baby snug in it's hood.
Vertical rows continue seamless into the arms and hood, making this a nice and simple looking garment.
As for the finishing, the only seams are at the shoulder and back of neck, done with a pretty invisible seaming. Diagram and links to techniques used are included in the pattern. Also a size diagram is available.
Note: this pattern is for the somewhat experienced knitter, it does require you to know or learn some techniques like provisional cast on, grafting. Links to how-to's are provided in the pattern.
---- Bulky version (14 sts / 10 cm) ---
14 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4" x 4") in garter stitch.
Note there is a worsted version (17 sts at 10 cm) of this
jacket available as well.
Newborn to 6 months (1 year, 2 years, 3 years)
resulting in final chest circumference of 50 (60, 70, 80)
cm (20 (24, 28, 32) inch)). Garter stitch fabric is very
stretchy so size is flexible.
275 (350, 450, 550) meters (300 (380, 495, 600) yards) of Cascade Yarns Ecological Wool, or any substitute yarn with same gauge.
----Errata & updates----
March 14, 2014
The pattern is now available in Dutch as well.
5 March 2014
In the worsted version at 'Materials' it says 'Size 5 mm (US 10) 50cm/20" circular needle', this should be 'Size 5 mm (US 8) 50cm/20" circular needle'. This is changed in later versions.

Price too high for product received. Paper quality is good stock, but the size of the poster is too small to make an impression in game room. Decided to keep it because it is usable, and I did not want to pay return shipping charges.

Finally, another commission down. It was a doozy, but was pretty fun to do as well!
A fellow Newgrounder by the name of Eon4President commissioned me to draw a scene involving his Minecraft Character, an Alchemist, working on an Iron Pickax. All little details were also by his request, including the shading style. He seemed to have enjoyed it, so I say mission accomplished.
Minecraft and all respective things belong to Notch.
The Alchemist belongs to Eon4President.
Art by yours truly.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Cool work as always.... Love the Creeper looking in through the door way...
Rated 5 / 5 stars
One of the best things I have seen in a while...
On a side note: Nice minecraft wikia book on the bookshelf :P
Is it filled with "scribbles"?
Lots and lots of scribbles. XD

Sullivan Promotes Five to Partnership Ranks
Sullivan & Cromwell yesterday promoted five associates to partner, four of whom are women. H. Rodgin Cohen, firm chairman, attributed the growth in female partner ranks to policies the firm put in place to promote the retention of women lawyers, such as flex-time and maternity leave. "I think hopefully as we have more and more women joining us it will be the new normal," Mr. Cohen said. "We certainly for a long time have been trying to promote more women and more minorities." Of 172 partners at Sullivan & Cromwell, 30 are now women.

Hi Snapdragon! Thanks for posting this--I have been tearing myself up inside trying to make this decision. I guess I will tell you my personal pros and cons--I hope that's helpful.
On the con side (why I don't want another one): First of all, I have a logistical childcare problem. I work full-time and have no choice but to keep doing so. My mother and MIL are my childcare, with my mother taking most of the burden. This has been an incredible point of stress between my mother and me, and she is not willing (nor am I willing to ask her) to have two children full-time. We can't afford daycare. Emotionally, I am reluctant to have another child because parenting has been harder than I ever thought it would be, and I feel I was naive to think that choosing to have a baby at 23 would give me the mothering experience I always dreamed of. I love my baby girl (20 mos.) more than ANYTHING and I could never say that I regret her, but sometimes (ok quite often) I think, "Wait, why did I sacrifice my responsibility-free youth?" Add to that the awful postpartum depression I struggled with for my baby's first year and obviously I am hesitant to add ANOTHER child, and all of the depression, extra work, lack of sleep, chaos, etc. that would come with that.
On the pro side (why I do want another one) I never planned to only have one child, and when I look into my future and see only my one, I feel very sad. I feel so, so sad for DD when I think of her never having a sibling who can deal with family stuff with her both in childhood and adulthood, and never having nieces or nephews to dote on. Another big issue is that one of our reasons for having kids so young is that we would have a lot of youth left when they were grown, so if I wait and have another baby when DD is much older and I feel I could handle the responsibility again, our original plan will basically be ruined, and I won't have pure "me time" before OR after the totally dependent kid phase. I know this all sounds terribly selfish, and that is the problem: I AM terribly selfish. I seriously doubt my ability to be a good mother to two right now--or maybe ever. But in so many ways I see the positives in having two, and in having them close together.
My own childhood makes my decision more complicated: my half sister is 18 years older than me so growing up I was basically an only child and I LOVED it. My sister lived out of state, so I got all of the attention and my parents and I were this calm little threesome. Then, right when I hit the teen years, my sister moved back and she and I got really close and she has been an important part of my adult life. So I had the upbringing of an only, but then I magically got an adult sister when I needed one.
I hope there was something helpful in that and that it wasn't just a personal rant! What's your situation? Thanks again for the thread!

So much to consider. There is many points of view and attitudes in both my blog, Singletons, at Psychology Today: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/singletons (note articles: Mothers of One are Happiest and What Difference do Siblings Make? among others. For more thoughts, check out my book, The Case for the Only Child: Your Essential Guide. You will learn what the research shows and what people with the same question are facing. Best, Susan Newman
Right now I feel like on good days- when extended family is around, helping out with ds, encouraging us to have more little ones to love and bring into the family, and ds is happy and calm- then I feel ready for a second. That was yesterday. Then days like today when I feel tired and sick and ds is whining from the mometn we wake up and all I want to do is sleep the day away and no one is helping me take care of him- I think, I Am just having this one so I only have to go through this once!
SO on good days I Want more and on hard days I want to stick with one.
Ha, Snapdragon, I completely understand about the kind of day making the difference in which way your decision sways.
I (we) got about 4 hours of broken sleep last night... yes, total... and started the day off crying and pinching. (Of course! Crying and pinching are what we do when we're stressed out from not sleeping all night!)
So today, I want an only child. And I kind of want that only child to go live with relatives for about a week.
I think my decision is made; for me, my brother (the one I was raised with) is an anchor for me in this world. I want my daughter to experience having a sibling. Even if it means I'm twice as tired. (Let's not discuss the possibly that my exhaustion will multiply exponentially with each subsequent child. Just. don't. go. there! )
And on 09/23/2011, we were three; husband, daughter, and me!
- Finances - we both work FT and FT daycare for two is expensive and we really want a center for a variety of reasons. As a somewhat compromise, we are spacing further apart than we might have otherwise to lessen the amount of time with two in daycare, daycare is just the most immediate financial concern, there are plenty of others I know will be in the future and I want to make sure I can provide what I want for my child(ren) while not sacrificing important things to me (retirement, luxuries, etc.)
- Free time - with one, she naps (usually) and sleeps at night consistently now, so DH and I get some child-free time without having to get a sitter and with her allergies and our lack of geographically close friends, sitters are few and far between
- Ease of going places/doing stuff - with one, while it's much harder than with just adults, it's is pretty easy to wrangle one child with one or two parents, adding another to the mix will make that much harder
- Lack of sleep - Once they are older, not as bad, but with two it makes for more chances of nightly interruptions and I NEED my sleep, again spacing out the second further that originally planned made this ok for me
- Split attention - I think this is mixed, DD is a bit spoiled because we can pay a lot of attention to her, but she is also a lot nurtured because of that attention as well, I think it will be good for her to have to wait more, to help out more, etc. but I also know that there will be opportunities missed with two kids to wrangle
- Siblings - I want my DD to have a sibling, I loved my siblings growing up and love them so much now, it may not be the same for her, but I want her to have the opportunity for that
- I want two for me - I want to have more than one, I know how much I love my DD and how awesome it is to teach her and see her grow, I want that with another child too
- Another pregnancy/childbirth - Minor, but I would enjoy another pregnancy and childbirth and all that, it was such a powerful experience!
That's all I can think of for now, but I thought it might help you clarify your own thoughts a bit.

I'm right there with you. Though I'm kind of worried I'm already pregnant, as my cycle has been a little weird (none of my normal ovulation signs).
I LOVE my son so much. And I couldn't imagine splinting myself between to kids. But then I LOVE my son so much I would love to share that love with another child.
The biggest downsides to having another for me would be, the possibility of being miserable for months (like my first pregnancy), the lack of sleep (though I don't think any child could sleep worst than DS did his first year), and the possibility of another traumatic birth experience. I had an unplanned C-Section last time and would like to try for an HBAC but I'm worried it won't work.... the possibility of another section really scares me.
Anyone want to process this with me? I am trying to decide if I want to have a second child or keep 2 yr old ds as an only. I know this conversation has been had ad naseum so I was looking for others who are actually going through this right now so we can process it together! Anyone else trying to decide if they should have another child? And specifically any parents of onlies trying to decide on a second or not? let's talk-
My kids are 5 years apart precisely because it took me that long to decide to have a second (and then I had to convince H). You don't have to decide right now. But I love having two and of course, I'm glad I made that decision. But I'm also glad I waited until it felt right (and I was getting enough sleep to be willing to do it again!)
My kids are about 4.5 years apart b/c I was sure I was not having anymore! It feels more complete now tho. You do have time. I actually have a little helper now and DD is totally 100% in love with her little brother. She actually asked us for a little sister now too. LOL

Proud wife to DH, mommy to DD 11/23/07, our little baby boy 2/19/12. We .
*****Remember to love your boobies once a month!***
I am with you in the complexity of this decision. I always wanted 2 because I was so close to my sister but M is 3 and we are in such a good place after an overwhelming couple of years. We are happy and fit together so well. Everyone is getting their needs met as much as possible and I love getting to focus on her. There are days when I question and wonder but we keep reaching the same conclusion. Goos luck.
I have had no desire to have a second child, practically since the day my first was born. I love things the way they are, and like Tajayana, I feel we are already a perfect fit. There are certain things about our life right now I really enjoy, that I think would change with a second child:
- Driving a small, fuel-efficient car
- Being able to spontaneously go on day trips, such as a 5-hour hike up a mountain. We just got DD to the point that she can do 3-5 mile hike without being in a carrier, I don't really want to start all over again!
- Having more time to work at home. Probably the biggest reason. DD is now in a Montessori preschool, and I relish the time she is there. And this is coming from someone who thought she was going to homeschool!
I also feel we were lucky with DD. She has always been a rather easygoing child, going with the flow. The one place we struggle is nighttime (she gets night terrors, and also ends up in our bed around 1am every night). I can't imagine doing that with two! I love the time we spend together going on nature walks, reading books, just enjoying life!
I was an only child, so that may explain my ambivalence. All I know is we're happy where we are. That might change in the future, but then again, last week my hubby brought up the topic of a vasectomy!
What I am soooo tired of, is all the random people who claim to know me better than I know myself. "Here, hold the baby, I'm sure that will make you want another one." Or, "Your daughter is going to be so lonely if you don't give her sibling". Argh, those kinds of comments drive me nuts!
I am also a lover of books , treehugger , and occasional soapbox stander!
I always wanted 2 kids and then be done.
My kids are 9 years apart. My oldest had been an only child for 9 years before his little brother was born.
The youngest is an absolute blessing to our family and my boys have a very special bond.
I love that I can give each child my attention. I don't think I'd be a good mother to 3 or more children.
Happily married to DH for 11 years. Proud Mama of DS1 (10) and DS2 (12 m/o)

You guys! My friend had a baby. A teeny-tiny, itty-bitty, little baby. And you know the best part? It's a little girl. As much as I adore my cousins' kids, they are all boys. I'll see such cute cupcake stuff in the baby stores, and it will be pink or purple or ruffly or have polka dots, and I'll be all, "Grr, why do I not have any little girls to buy this stuff for?" And now I do.
Anyway, the baby shower was yesterday. I know what you're thinking: "Didn't she just say her friend had the baby? Aren't baby showers meant for before the baby comes?" Well, my little M&M decided she had to be contrary, just like her Auntie Kimmy (that would be me, in case you were wondering). First of all she went, "haha, I've already been in here a month longer than you thought I was," so her due date was a lot earlier than originally anticipated. Then she decided she wanted to be here in time for mother's day, so she came out 2 weeks early.
You can't really tell, but she's wearing a cupcake onesie. XD |
My friend asked for homemade Funfetti cupcakes, so I made my birthday cake cupcakes and added some rainbow sprinkles to the batter, and colored the frosting purple. But that was not enough work for me. I had to make more. Chocolate and peanut butter have been a combination we've both always loved, so I was going to make my peanut butter cupcakes and fill them with chocolate. But then I remembered, I had a jar of Dark Chocolate Dreams from Peanut Butter & Co. in the pantry. I tweaked the recipe a bit, used the Dark Chocolate Dreams in place of the peanut butter, and added some mini M&Ms to the batter (she's my M&M; I had to), frosted them with my very favorite chocolate buttercream from Hershey's Homemade, and topped them with some leftover Valentine's Day M&Ms I had in the pantry. And it was good.
I have to admit, they do look more like Valentine's Day cupcakes than baby shower cupcakes, but I'm okay with that. Because to make them look more baby shower-y, I would have had to use a pastel-colored frosting. Which wouldn't be chocolate. Which would be bad. The other cupcakes were pastels. These were made of Dark Chocolate Dreams.
And you know what else happened while I was snuggling a baby girl yesterday? I got an award! I was nominated for the One Lovely Blog award by Choc Chip Uru from Go Bake Yourself and from CJ at Food Stories. If you've never heard of these two lovely ladies, consider yourself deprived. CJ's blog is like an encyclopedia for food bloggers. She has a calendar of all foodie holidays and she shares food-related news stories, along with posting yummy recipes and gorgeous photos every day. Plus, she has her Food Story Photos every week, which is such a cute and original idea that I adore. Thanks for making me feel like a slacker, CJ. ^_^
As for Choc Chip Uru, not only does she post super yummy recipes, not only are her posts really funny, not only is she a really talented baker and an awesome story-teller, but she's still in high school! You guys, when I was in high school (which wasn't really that long ago- holy smokes, it was that long ago?) I was messing up box mixes. True story. CCU has got a crazy amount of talent, and she is only going to get better.
Now it's time for my favorite part: telling you seven things about myself.
- I have a cat named Jake.
- I very rarely call Jake "Jake."
- I can't wait for Camp NaNoWriMo in June.
- I have no plot for my Camp NaNoWriMo novel.
- I think writing 50k words in 30 days is fun.
- I like mangoes.
- I like to tie-dye.

Published on 19.09.99 in Vol 1 (1999): Supplement 1
EMB3/389: Information Systems for Evidence-based Healthcare: status, issues and perspectives
Introduction: In the United Kingdom, the National Health Service (NHS) has embarked on the formation of health action zones for the delivery of good quality community-centric healthcare. It is recognised that the evidence-based healthcare practice is critical in this venture, and the optimistic projection is that community-centric healthcare encompassing medical, dental, nursing, health visiting, optical and pharmaceutical services will be brought under the evidence-based healthcare practice framework. The evidence-based medicine and its practice in its 'first wave' with its six steps provided a paradigm shift in the clinical practice by integrating experiential and external evidence with clinical practice to arrive at clinical decisions and establish disease management framework. The internet was rightly considered as the key player in the evidence-based healthcare practice. The shortcomings of this global system has constrained the wide-spread application of the evidence-based practice.
Methods: We will first take an in-depth look at the relevance, quality and accessibility issues, by presenting examples from respiratory and metabolic disease domains, particularly from the classes of paediatric metabolic disorders. While analysing the information presented, we will also assess to what degree the information needs of clinicians as well as patient/home-carers are met. We will examine what is required in terms of structure, protocols, information storage and access to meet the two often disparate needs.
Results: We will argue that the information should be in a form that enables their effective assimilation thereby enhancing the usage of the evidence-based practice. Concepts of componentware, model-based information- bayesian causal graphs will presented with examples. Examples of emerging database implementations will be referred to in these examples. Our on-going research work on MEDINFONET, and models of domain-specific software agents for knowledge management will be presented.
Discussion: The service-centric model of the next generation internet presents a bright perspective. From the evidence-based healthcare practice point-of-view, its differential service (diff-serv) facility with emphasis on classes of services will largely meet the speed of access requirement. The 'object web' with data integration facility, digital libraries, domain-specific search agents etc.. will provide a better information quality. We argue that models and metrics for information systems and its environment are needed, and in this connection present a five-layer maturity model for evidence-based healthcare practice.

Penny costs more than a cent to make
RAW STORY Published: Friday April 21, 2006
A penny costs more than a cent for the U.S. Mint to make, according to a story set for Saturday's New York Times, RAW STORY has found.
Excerpts from the article written by Floyd Norris:
What happens if a penny is worth more than one cent?
That is an issue the U.S. Mint could soon face if the price of metals keeps rising. Already it costs the mint well more than a cent to make a penny.
This week the cost of the metals in a penny rose above 0.8 cents, more than twice the value of last fall. Because the government spends at least another six-tenths of a cent -- above and beyond the cost of the metal -- to make each penny, it will lose nearly half a cent on each new one it mints.
The real problem could come if metals prices rise so high that it would be economical to melt down pennies for the metals they contain.
Asked if the mint had a backup plan for what it will do if zinc prices rise far enough that it could pay to melt down pennies, a spokesman said that such issues were for Congress to decide. Perhaps the mint could go back to making steel pennies, as it did during World War II when copper was needed for the war effort.

Serena Release Control
Automate Your Release Process for Speed and Control
Managing Deployment and Task Lists
Automate error-prone manual tasks lists and time-consuming deployments
Deployment Paths
Deployment paths are a sequence of environments through which a release package must progress, such as development, integration testing, and production. This ensures that each release package has gone through the required testing stages before it moves to production. You can define whether each environment is required or optional on this path. You can also define when the release package is locked to prevent further changes, ensuring that what was previously tested is what is going to be deployed to your production environment.
Deployment Units
A packaged set of deployment-ready files and metadata that is associated with a deployment task. Examples include Deployment Automation component versions, Dimensions CM baselines, and ChangeMan ZMF change packages.
Deployment Tasks
Serena Release Control can integrate with products that provide the ability to execute processes, such as Serena Business Manger, Serena Deployment Automation, Serena Dimensions CM, or Serena ChangeMan ZMF. Depending on your selections, the execution of the deployment task may execute the specific process at the target environment, it may execute an operation on the environment, or it may submit or transition a request in another system to signal that a given task must be completed.
Application release deployments are complex in nature and involve a multitude of interactions between people, process and software. Opportunities to improve efficiency, eliminate errors and reduce time-consuming handoffs exist with processes that can be automated in a consistent, repeatable workflow.
Serena Release Control captures manual and automated deployment tasks as well as environmental information between development, QA and operations teams. Deployment tasks can be aggregated from many teams and saved, reused, then automatically scheduled and executed repeatedly across all environments as releases traverse down the path to production.

General Question
What is the best online course for learning modern Greek?
Asked by Hershey (8)
March 7th, 2010
I am looking for an online course in Modern Greek. I would prefer that the course has audios I could place on my iPod and no requirement to submit voice recordings as I have no microphone/webcam with which to do that. I want more that just tourist phrases, an actual course that would help me learn the Greek language: the vocabulary, syntax etc.

text: MAGIC SCHOOL A CHARMED/HARRY POTTER CROSSOVER What if Salem Witches' Institute is the very same Magic School the Halliwells protect? Perhaps centuries ago the Ministry of Magic orchestrated a separation of Church and State that excluded the Elders and WhiteLighters from interfering with European witchcraft. But their reach didn't extend to the colonies where magic was stifled and only encouraged by WhiteLighters. Now it's nearly 25 years after the battles against Voldemort and the Ultimate Power. Both Hogwarts and Salem Institute are open again. But when the peace of both sides is threatened, Potters and Halliwells will have to unite wizards and witches everywhere under a common cause.

Throttle Body Spacer
Anyone have opinions on a throttle body spacer for a 4.0??
I put one on my 2.5 i noticed a small power increase. I think its worth it if your just looking to get a little more power out of your engine.
yeah you can try airraid poweraid spacer works good for me on my 05lj 4.0 give it a try it was 74 buck here is a pic to show how it looks installed on my jeep.
http://www.airaid.com/310-510_jeep.asp the link where to buy. http://img111.imageshack.us/my.php?i...scf0061ps4.jpg |
You will get better results out of it if you upgrade your exhaust to all that new air in your engine will need somewhere to go.
One major improvement is to replace the 2.5L throttle body with a 4.0L throttle body. It is a bolt in procedure and you will see a big gain in performance.
Complete waste of money on a 4.0L engine, at least in my strongest possible opinion. I've had two, both given to me for tests and neither made a noticeable difference. And the couple of local Jeepers I know that tried them said the same thing. :)
I had one as well no more horses but i did get this kinda cool sucking/whistling sound. thats about it though, waist of money!!!
With the airaid intake, poweraid spacer, and cut off cats with a flowmaster, it made a hell of a increase in gas mileage, and alot of lower end torque on my 4.0. But also running the Hypertech powerprogrammer as well.
no cats!? that hypertech programmer helps a good bit...and an intake doesn't hurt...plus it sounds cool too :D
I've always wondered about those myself. dealers say they increase up to 10hp, but I havent seen any actualy dyno results as to where the 10hp comes from.
i've heard from many people that throttle bodies don't make a difference and if so its not big at all...i've seen better results from a catback and maybe a header with some high flow cats
Is there a boost for the 4 cyl.
I've read a lot about the throttle body spacer having no effect due to the fuel injectors and air flow regulator offseting the effect of improved air intake. Is this only true on the 4.0? Will there be a benefit for the 4 cyl engines or is it the same physics. :confused:

From every thing I have read, on line, and on these threads, the throttle body is most effective on the 4 bangor, and has little effect on the I-6.

Bollywood's veteran villain Ranjeet on Wednesday said that his driver's body was found in his residence's swimming pool in Mumbai. However, whether it was an accident or a case of suicide is yet to be ascertained, said the actor.
The body of Nagraj Gowda was found Tuesday night.
"My wife went to monitor his sugar last night. She found his body in our swimming pool. We immediately pulled him out and took him to the hospital, but he was declared dead before admission," Ranjeet said.
The driver was working with Ranjeet for the past 30 years.
"He was like our family," said the actor, who featured in films like Laawaris and Namak Halal.
"We still don't know whether it was (a case of) suicide or by accident. The case is with Juhu police station right now. I really don't know whether he fell into the water or jumped. We don't how he slipped out of the room when his brother and son both were there."
According to reports, 44-year-old Gowda was suffering health issues and he was a patient of diabetes. He was also undergoing dialysis.
Gowda's last rites will take place in him hometown Karnataka.
