How to stop hair from curling up.
I want to keep my beautiful waves, but they keep curling outwards when I use my gel to the point where you can't even see my neck anymore (360 around). The back of my head is bulged out too. (this is all with ecostyler)
Will olive oil help?
What do you mean by curling outwards? And the back of your head bulging? Can you post a picture?
Personally I like a lot of volume at my roots that's what it sounds like, but I cant picture what your describing. I actually get my layers stacked in the back so it aticma out more back there... lol.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Do you have loss of taste or persistent abnormal taste sensation?
Do you have loss of smell also?
Are you diabetic?
What are the investigations and treatment done?
Dr. Arun
It is the total loss of all taste for everything, even strong food such as curries, peri peri and chilli Yes, I have lost my sense of smell as well. No I am not a diabetic. Two months ago I had an operation to straighten my nose septum as well as a sinus wash out. In the follow up visits the ENT specialist has said that because of many sinus infections and the skew septum it has effected my sense of smell and taste and that he thinks it will be permanent. Can this be true, surely there is something that I can do to restore my sense of smell and taste.
Oral steroids are given as the treatment. Both of these; sense of smell and taste are likely to return back and are not likely to be permanent. Loss of smell is called as anosmia. Usually sense of taste is integrally connected with it (called as Ageusia; loss of taste). Many times the cause is not ascertainable for these problems and thus treatment is difficult. Loss of smell and taste from viral and other cause need counseling as the return of these functions/senses is spontaneous. So most of the advice is what to expect and how to protect yourself from harm.
1) Gas detectors are recommended if any heating or home appliances run on natural gas. Information on where to purchase these detectors can be obtained from local gas companies.
2) Food storage should be cautious and should be avoided. Labeling leftovers with dates of storage is very important so you can dispose them appropriately.
3) If you have minimal of the nose symptoms like running or blockage, this can be underlying allergic rhinitis (even if mild in nature), because this mild disease may impair ability to appreciate any smell and taste, that does return.
Following are the other possible causes and treatment;
a) Nose or sinus condition; should be aggressively treated.
b) Hypothyroidism, diabetes if are concomitant disease, they should be managed meticulously. These conditions should be investigated for those who do not have them, by getting glycosylated hemoglobin (for diabetes) and TSH (for low thyroid/hypothyroidism), as in your case.
c) Vitamins, topical steroids, and tricyclic antidepressants (for their effect on Cerebro-Spinal Fluid catecholamines) can be tried by your physician as they are effective in 50% of cases.
d) Eliminating toxins like cigarette smoke (active or passive)
e) A viral disease can cause extensive scarring and replacement of the nerves, but studies suggest that stem cells remain, allowing for potential regeneration of the olfactory epithelium. Recovery of smell and taste can take weeks to months. Oral steroids improve function in these cases, thus should be tried by your physician for you, if not yet done.
Please feel free for your follow up questions.

- Secure Heavy Duty Unit Review by Norm
I bought this to store our ride-on mower in a remote location.
Quality Value Price
I was pleasantly surprised that all the holes lined up perfectly and was straightforward to assemble with a mate of mine.
I would thoroughly recommend this product.
- Safe, Secure, Sturdy, Superb. Review by Lushy
This large shed is excellent for storage of large or many small items.
Quality Value Price
It is very sturdy (even when not anchored down) and will not move even in the strongest storms and winds.
Only drawback is with the confusion of the lock which is operated in the reverse to that expected. Good though, as it will confuse any attempting burglar.
- Great secure bike shed Review by Tony G
After a bit of confusion over delivery times the Asgard team were very responsive and professional in dealing with customers. I had the shed constructed by Asgard. The guys who delivered it did a great job and presented Asgard very well. I have had the shed for about a month now with all sorts of weather thrown at it. The shed remains dry and free of damp or condensation. The ventilation systems works well. This model of shed is big enough for my Harley Davidson Heritage Classic. I still have a bit of space to store a couple of other boxes and the shelf is great for helmet, boots cleaning kit etc. Thank you Asgard, a great product.

Quantified WDS x-ray element maps were used to characterize active PLZT layers on Pt/PLZT/Al2O3 substrates, one fired at 1050 C and the other at 1150 C. In the layer fired at 1050 C randomly distributed micrometer size compositional irregularities were observed as La-rich regions that were in most cases enrighed also with Ti and deficient in Pb and Zr compared to the matrix. Such compositional imperfections were not observed in the PLZT layer fired for the same duration at 1150 C. The level of microheterogeneity for all elements in the specimen fired at 1150 C and for Pb, Ti, and Zr in the specimen fired at 1050 C was below 1 % at confidence level of 99 % while for La, it was as much as 2.4 %. In point beam line profiles across the active layer starting from the Pt electrode toward the outer surface of the cross-section of the PLZT film, the Pb concentration decreased continuously in both samples confirming the importance of providing a properly equilibrated partial pressure of Pb around the sample during the entire firing process. Better dielectric and ferroelectric characteristics of the specimen fired at 1150 C compared to the sample fired at 1050 C were attributed to the differences in compositional heterogeneity between these samples. The study of the micro-compositional characteristics of these ceramic materials with quantitative WDS mapping has contributed to the optimization and processing parameters and hence to the properties of ferroelectric PLZT materials.

In Tom Brady's final three games, he quarterbacked U-M to wins over Penn State, Ohio State and Alabama (in the Orange Bowl). Relive Brady's best three games with the Maize and Blue before he made his mark on the NFL and cemented his football legacy.
|No. 16 Michigan 31, No. 6 Penn State 27 Beaver Stadium, State College, Pa. Nov. 13, 1999
|Tom Brady's 11-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Marcus Knight with 1:46 remaining propelled Michigan to a 31-27 upset of sixth-ranked Penn State in Beaver Stadium. Brady was 17-of-36 passing for 256 yards and two touchdowns, pushing him over the 2,000-yard mark on the season. At the time, Brady was only the second U-M quarterback to throw for 2,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, joining Todd Collins (1993-94). The win brought the Wolverines' record to 8-2 on the season with The Game against Ohio State looming the next week.
|No. 10 Michigan 24, Ohio State 17 Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Mich. Nov. 20, 1999
|Tom Brady threw for two touchdowns in the final 16 minutes of the game to rally the Wolverines from a seven-point deficit to defeat archrival Ohio State, 24-17, on senior day at Michigan Stadium. Brady tied the game 17-17 with an eight-yard strike to tight end Shawn Thompson in the closing seconds of the third quarter, then put Michigan ahead for good on a 10-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Walker with 5:01 remaining. Brady finished the day 17-of-27 passing for 150 yards and two touchdowns.
|Michigan 35, Alabama 34 (OT) The FedEx Orange Bowl, Miami, Fla. Jan. 1, 2000
|Tom Brady connected with tight end Shawn Thompson on a 25-yard touchdown on the first play of overtime to give Michigan a 35-34 victory over Alabama in the Orange Bowl in Michigan's first-ever overtime contest. Brady played perhaps his best game as a Wolverine, completing 34-of-46 passing attempts for 369 yards and four touchdown passes, erasing a two-touchdown Alabama lead and sending the game into overtime. Alabama had a chance to force a second overtime when it scored on its offensive possession in extra time, but a missed PAT sent Brady out a winner.
Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr on Brady's leadership ... "I'll tell you this story. When we went into Syracuse to play, in the second half, I decided to go with Drew Henson. Late in the game we won. After the game, the captains said a few words and led the team in 'Hail to the Victors.' There was no tougher time for Tom to not have played. He stood up and told his teammates how great they played without him. He's a special guy."

Can you believe I have never made homemade corn dogs, I always thought it was pretty difficult so I never attempted it.
You can imagine my excitement when the corn dogs were done and they turned out. I couldn't believe how easy it was, plus they taste so much better than the ones you buy at the store.
The true test was Carson he is so picky, but no worries he gave our corn dogs a thumbs up and so did Mackenzie. The left over corn dogs store in the freezer nicely, so you can warm them up for another day.
I just added mine to a large ziplock bag, when I want to use them i just defrost in the microwave and add them to the toaster oven. Do you make any homemade convience food? I would love for you to share any recipes.
Hold the stick by the tongs and dip the corn dog in the grease and turn it a bit till it puffs up all around then drop in the grease all the way to cover the corn dogs.
Homemade Corny Dogs
1 - cup buttermilk
2 - medium eggs
1/4 - cup canola oil
2 - tablespoons sugar
1 - teaspoon salt
2 - teaspoons baking powder
1 1/3 - cups corn meal
2/3 - cup flour
1 to 1-1/2 - pounds (aprox 10) hot dogs (I use oscar mayer or hebrew national)
flour for dusting (about 1/2 cup)
Oil for Frying (Canola or Vegetable)
Popsicle sticks, Chop Sticks or Wooden Meat Skewers
Take your hot dogs and dry them off on paper towels. Dust the hot dogs with flour, coating them completely. The cornmeal batter won't stick to the hot dogs unless they are coated in flour. The batter just slides right off of the wieners naturally slick outsides.
Stick the Popsicle sticks into the flour coated hot dogs. Set the hot dogs aside.While all of this is going on, it's a good idea to get the oil heated up. You want the temperature to be about 375°. Allow the oil to preheat so it is almost smoking by the time you are ready to add the corn dogs.
Now, to coat the floured hot dogs with batter you have two choices. You can swirl the hot dogs in the bowl of batter until they are coated, and then drop them into the hot fat. If this is a little difficult I know of an easier way.
Scoop some of your corn meal batter into a narrow jar or cup which is as tall as your hot dogs are long. Fill the jar or cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Dip your hot dog into the batter while you hold onto the stick. Swirl the hot dog to coat it evenly. Be careful or the batter will overflow. Raise the wiener above the cup and let any excess batter drip off. Quickly place the battered dog into the hot oil.
The fat (oil) will bubble up and cook the outside of the batter, making the corn dogs the exact same shape as the ones you buy at the store. Only fry a few corn dogs at a time. If the corn dogs crowd each other they don't fry very well. I only fry 2 or 3 at a time.
Turn the corn dogs when the bottom side is well browned. Use tongs to remove the cooked corn dogs from the fat (oil). Allow them to drain on paper towels. Repeat the process, coating and frying a few at a time, until all of the corn dogs are cooked.
Refill the narrow jar or cup with batter from your bowl as necessary. Continue until all the hot dogs are coated or until you no longer have enough batter to coat the hot dogs efficiently. If you don't want to waste any unused batter, it can be dropped by small spoonfuls into the hot fat (oil), and fried until brown. Serve these along side the corn dogs.
If desired, you can make small corn dogs by cutting hot dogs into thirds, or quarters. Poke a toothpick up into the end of the hot dogs. Coat and fry them as described above. These are nice for fancy days, and for kids parties. Provide plenty of ketchup and mustard for dipping.
recipe yields 12 - 14 corn dogs.

Citation: Zarlenga, D.S., Rosenthal, B.M., Hoberg, E.P., Mitreva, M. 2009. Integrating genomics and phylogenetics in understanding the history of trichinella species. Veterinary Parasitology. 159(3-4):210-3. Interpretive Summary: The adenophorean nematodes are the most evolutionarily distant group from the other classically studied species in the phylum Nematoda such as Caenorhabditis elegans. The genus Trichinella represents a basal or outgroup adenophorean for genome sequencing and for gaining deeper insight into the evolution of nematodes. Nematode characteristics that are universally conserved across the phylum could have a great value for control strategies with broad application. Herein we evaluate preliminary genome sequence data on Trichinella spiralis the most widespread within this genus. This data was used to investigate specific questions related to the biology of T. spiralis and more generally to parasitic nematodes. This information, and that yet to come in conjunction with the relatively recent diversification of contemporary species provides expectations that this genome sequence will advance research related to parasitic nematodes across the phylum, and will assist in developing conserved control strategies currently unattainable due to the dearth of genetic information relating these organisms.
Technical Abstract: In 2004, funding was received by Washington University's Genome Sequencing Center through NHGRI, to completely sequence several nematode genomes as part of a holistic effort to advance our understanding of the human genome and evolution within the Metazoa. Trichinella spiralis was among this group of worms because of its strategic location at the base of the phylum Nematoda, and the belief that extant species represented an ancient divergent event that occurred as early as the Paleozoic. At the same time, a concerted effort was put forth to solidify the phylogeny of extant species of Trichinella based upon molecular analyses of a multi-gene system to understand the history of the genus and thereby enhance utilization of the forthcoming sequence data. Since the inception of this research, several findings have emerged; 1) the size of T. spiralis genome estimated by flow cytometry (71.3 Mb) is substantially smaller than originally predicted (270 Mb); 2) to date, a subset of the total of 3,534,683 sequences have been assembled into a 59.3 Mb unique sequence; 3) 19% of the assembled sequence is comprised of repetitive elements, and; 4) sequence data is predicated upon extant Trichinella spiralis which probably diverged as little as 20 million years ago. Thus, the utility of the T. spiralis genome as representative of an archaic species must be tempered with the knowledge that encapsulated and non-encapsulated clades probably separated during the mid-Miocene as temperate ecosystems changed.

Technical Abstract: Some Florida soils have great capacity to accumulate carbon due to unique geographical and topographical conditions (high net primary productivity, precipitation, high water table, and flat topography). Soil carbon models have been used to quantify the carbon pools usually at a specific scale or in a specific region and our knowledge on the transfer behavior of soil carbon models across regions and scales (regional and state scale) is still limited. Our objectives were to: 1) explore the transferability of soil carbon models developed in one geographic region to another; 2) explore the transferability of soil carbon models developed at state scale to regional scales and vice versa; 3) identify the factors that may impact the transferability of models. We used 1014 soil samples (0-20 cm) collected across the State of Florida. The sampling design followed the stratified-random scheme using mainly two major strata (land cover/land use and soil suborder) due to their strong influences on soil organic carbon (SOC) across the state. Total carbon (TC) was determined by combustion using a carbon analyzer. Inorganic carbon (IC) was derived by phosphoric acid extraction at 200°C. SOC was derived by subtracting IC from TC and carbon stocks were derived using observed bulk density values. Various layers of environmental factors were compiled using ArcGIS. The State of Florida was divided into four regions, i.e., Panhandle, Northern, Central and Southern Florida which generally represent distinct soil taxonomy, ecoregions, geographical and climatic conditions. Statistical and geostatistical methods were used to characterize and compare the variation and spatial patterns of SOC in different regions and at different scales (regional and state scale) using SOC observations and ancillary environmental data. Comparison and cross-application of models were conducted to evaluate the model transferability and identify the major environmental factors that influence the transferability. Results revealed transferability across regions and scales varied case by case and identified the possible causes to the different transferability.

Almost a third of all equity-release customers are using the cash they raise by selling a share in their home to pay off existing debts such as credit cards and loans, new research suggests.
The Equity Release Council has warned the cost-of-living crisis is leading to older people taking on unsecured debts.
"More worrying still is the fact that existing credit users become bigger borrowers who owe more on credit cards, overdrafts and so on as time passes, Nigel Waterson chairman of the Equity Release Council said.
Limited pay rises and the rising cost of living mean many struggle to make their incomes last until the end of each month and people are increasingly turning to credit cards to cover this period."
In addition, the group concludes that increasing numbers of people in their 50s and 60s are using equity release to boost their income and reduce the amount they spend on debt-interest payments.
"For those who are retiring or find themselves in debt beyond the age of 55, using equity release can help to plan ahead, provide a regular income, still protect some of the value of your property and offer far lower interest rates," Mr Waterson added.

Egyptian flag sales boom amid protests, revelry
By Alexander Dziadosz
CAIRO (Reuters Life!) - Egypt's revolutionary upheaval dampened demand for the clocks, key chains, stuffed animals and other knick-knacks in Ahmed Magdy's Cairo shop, but one item has sold faster than ever -- the national flag.
The red, white and black standard has sprouted everywhere since President Hosni Mubarak was forced to quit on Friday, painted on faces and purses, tacked on walls and army tanks, and waved from farmers' tractors and the windows of luxury cars.
Sitting in his shop in the market district of Attaba, Magdy pointed to a worn cardboard box as a customer fished out dozens of miniature pennants.
"I only have ones in that size left and I'll finish them maybe tomorrow," the 28-year-old businessman said. The more popular bigger sizes were long gone.
Magdy said he had sold around 300,000 flags since protests erupted nearly three weeks ago, although at one point he and his neighbors had to close their shops and guard property from looters after police withdrew from Cairo's streets on January 28.
Many of the city's vendors turned to selling the flags after the anti-Mubarak unrest paralyzed much of the economy.
Pro-democracy demonstrators took up the banners -- which also bear a golden eagle representing Egypt's 12th-century ruler Saladin -- at early protests, waving them, wearing them as bandanas and even using them as prayer mats at a pinch.
Mubarak loyalists adopted the flag next, with thousands marching and waving them at rallies across the capital. Continued...

According to the American Medical Association's Healthcare Careers Directory 2009-2010, surgical first assistants are advanced allied healthcare practitioners who "provide aid in exposure, hemostasis, wound closure, and other intraoperative technical functions that help the surgeon carry out a safe operation with optimal results for the surgical patient. The surgical first assistant performs these functions under the direction and supervision of the surgeon and in accordance with hospital policy and appropriate laws and regulations."
In their official Statements on Principles, The American College of Surgeons (ACS) describes the role and function of the surgical first assistant as follows:
The first assistant during a surgical operation should be a trained individual who is able to participate in and actively assist the surgeon in completing the operation safely and expeditiously by helping to provide exposure, maintain hemostasis, and serve other technical functions. The qualifications of the person in this role may vary with the nature of the operation, the surgical specialty, and the type of hospital or ambulatory surgical facility.
The American College of Surgeons supports the concept that, ideally, the first assistant at the operating table should be a qualified surgeon or a resident in an approved surgical education program. Residents at appropriate levels of training should be provided with opportunities to assist and participate in operations. If such assistants are not available, other physicians who are experienced in assisting may participate.
It may be necessary to utilize nonphysicians as first assistants. Surgeon's assistants (SAs) or physician's assistants (PAs) with additional surgical training should meet national standards and be credentialed by the appropriate local authority…
Career Description
Adapted from AMA Healthcare Careers Directory 2009-2010
Preoperatively, surgical first assistants work with operating room staff to verify correct patient information, operative procedure, and surgical site and check the patient's chart for any abnormalities. They also verify that the correct equipment and instrumentation is prepared and ready for use. The surgeon determines the exact position for the best exposure for the surgical procedure, and the surgical first assistant carries out this order. Surgical first assistants are knowledgeable about common patient positions as they relate to the surgical procedure and are able to utilize the necessary equipment (fracture tables, head stabilizers, body stabilizers, C-arm extensions, and other equipment as needed) to provide that position. The patient's safety and comfort are important considerations. The surgical assistant will ensure that points of pressure are padded, including elbows, heels, knees, eyes, face, and the axillary region. Surgical first assistants also verify that circulation is not impaired, and nerves are protected from damage. Surgical first assistants and anesthesia personnel discuss the patient's temperature and identify the particular methods that will be implemented to maintain the desired temperature.
Intraoperatively, The surgical first assistant provides visualization of the operative site by appropriately placing and securing retractors, with or without padding; packing with sponges; digitally manipulating tissue; suctioning, irrigating, or sponging; manipulating suture materials (loops, tags, running sutures); and employing the proper use of body mechanics to prevent obstruction of the surgeon's view. Surgical first assistants utilize appropriate permanent or temporary techniques to help achieve hemostasis by
- Clamping and/or cauterizing vessels or tissue
- Tying and/or ligating clamped vessels or tissue
- Applying hemostatic clips
- Placing local hemostatic agents
- Applying tourniquets
- Applying vessel loops, noncrushing clamps, and direct digital pressure
Surgical first assistants employ appropriate techniques to assist with the closure of body planes, including utilizing running or interrupted subcutaneous sutures; utilizing subcuticular closure technique; closing skin as directed by the surgeon; and administering subcutaneous postoperative injections of local anesthetics when directed by the surgeon. Surgical first assistants select and apply appropriate wound dressings, including liquid or spray occlusive materials; absorbent material; and immobilizing dressing. Surgical first assistants also secure drainage systems to tissue.
Postoperatively, surgical first assistants evaluate the patient for any possible damage resulting from positioning, including assessment of the skin. The surgical first assistant reports any abnormal condition to the surgeon and assists with patient transfer from the operating room. Other postoperative treatment and documentation is carried out as necessary under the direction of the surgeon and in accordance with job description and local and facility policy.
Employment Characteristics
Sugical first assistants are used on a wide variety of surgical cases and work across a broad spectrum of surgical specialties. Many opportunities exist for surgical first assistants to specialize in areas such as cardiothoracic, neurosurgical, orthopedic, peripheral vascular, and other branches of surgery. The majority of surgical first assistants work in hospitals. Many others work for private physicians or surgical specialty groups, for private surgical first assistant groups, and a number are self-employed.

Petfinder is a website listing all of the cats needing homes from rescue groups listed by state and area. Every color and type is on there... you can give a new kitty a fresh start when the older one passes. Do not bring a healthy youngster in with a cat who is toward the end of its life... that would be cruel. ^_^

ReaderEssay What are your concerns?" the woman doing the speech assessment for our almost-3-year old son, Myles, asks.
"That he's not finishing his words," we say, "and that he might grow frustrated when other children can't understand him."
"Does he comprehend your questions and requests?"
"Yes, if we ask him to get a diaper, he knows what to do."
"What percentage of his words do you understand?"
"Maybe 50 percent for me," I say. "And 65 percent for me," my wife, Debbie, says.
"Has he had many earaches?" the woman asks.
"Maybe six," we say.
"OK," she says.
She's taking notes. I'm not sure whether we are saying too much or too little. Nor am I sure if we are saying the right things, much less whether we are saying them in the right way.
"Does he know the difference between boys and girls?" she asks.
We don't know. We've never asked him. Why haven't we asked? We're not sure. We're not good parents.
The woman shifts her attention to Myles, playing with him and asking him questions. Even though he's responsive, I find myself continually wanting to help him with the things he cannot say. It reminds me of watching Myles struggle to share with other children. It is easy to intervene at those times, but am I supposed to? And if so, how quickly?
I don't know the answers to these questions, and it is not clear that I ever will.
Hearing underwater
"He has strong language skills," the woman says. "He knows words, and he understands what you're asking him to do, but he is struggling to close his words, and I too am concerned that he might become frustrated in social situations."
"Would you recommend speech therapy?" we ask.
"I would."
"What might have caused this?" we ask. "What could we have done differently?"
"I'm not sure," she says. "A child who speaks like this would have no matter what. It might have something to do with the earaches, though."
"The earaches," we say. "Why?" We are thinking about all the times we didn't realize he had one.
"It's like he's been hearing you underwater when you have been speaking to him," she says.
We find out Myles needs to have a hearing test. This had not been discussed during the assessment, though, and we wonder whether we should be concerned. A hearing test for a child his age is a big deal, isn't it?
I don't want to be worried, nor do I want to be shallow, but I do want Myles to be fine, and I want him to do whatever he will do as unencumbered as possible.
We go to the hearing test. We are led into a soundproof room with a big window. On either side of the window are speakers with stuffed animals on top of them, one a gorilla with a drum, the other a teddy bear. The audiologist stands on one side of the window looking in on us, and Myles sits on Debbie's lap facing the window in a chair in front of me.
I begin to feel sick, and I think back to when Debbie took the nucleofold test during her pregnancy with Myles. As we sat there and the doctor slowly explained what the test might predict, I wanted to grab him and insist that he tell us something immediately or I would be forced to punch him in the face.
And that's how I feel now, waiting for the test to start, and waiting for some news—tell us something, and do so quickly. I just can't bear this.
Cause for celebration
The test starts and the sounds begin. There are different tones, pitches and volumes, and Myles catches every one of them: high, low, left and right. He says "there" and points in the appropriate direction each time he identifies where he has heard something. Myles' responses prompt the corresponding stuffed animal to jump up and down, or clap its hands, actions I am repeatedly tempted to do myself.
After the test is over, we are told Myles' hearing is fine, and that such tests are standard in cases like this. We breathe sighs of relief and cover his face with kisses.
We find a speech therapist who has a big smile and lots of energy. Myles takes to her immediately. Initially, as I watch them interact, I am embarrassed to say that I feel sad that Myles already has a hurdle to overcome—not as bad as the hurdles other kids are facing, and not a hurdle people don't overcome unscarred and content—but a hurdle nonetheless, and the first one so soon in what will be a life full of hurdles that we cannot protect him from.
A funny thing happens as the sessions continue, though. Myles begins to blossom, not just using more words and phrases, but closing more words as well. While this alone is worth celebrating, I am also struck by the fact that not only can't we protect Myles from the various hurdles he will encounter, but maybe that's something I worry too much about.
We all grow by overcoming the hurdles we stumble upon, and Myles will too, even at age 3. To protect him from obstacles and frustrations is to do him no favors. He's going to be all right—no matter how hard that is to imagine.

Reposted from Travis Jensen
Yesterday afternoon, while riding his bicycle home from the Make A Wish Foundation's "Bat Kid" happenings, DJ was confronted by two undercover police officers in an unmarked vehicle at the Valencia Gardens Apartments in the City's Mission District. Apparently, the officers said something to DJ about riding his bicycle on the sidewalk as he was pulling up to his home in the complex. It is unclear whether the officers identified themselves or not, but did proceed to get out of their car, grab DJ from behind as he was entering the home and beat him for no apparent reason. A police search uncovered a cupcake and juice that DJ had just purchased from the corner store. Nobody has spoken to DJ since the incident occurred as he was immediately taken to S.F. General Hospital for treatment, and then to the 850 Bryant police station. So far, it appears no charges have been made against DJ either. There is building video surveillance footage of DJ's confrontation w/ police, but it that has yet to be released by housing authority. Furthermore, three residents came to DJ's aid when they saw officers beating him up, only to find themselves also under attack by officers. By this time, uniformed backup had arrived on the scene. Including DJ, a total of four individuals were beaten and arrested by officers.
UPDATE: We're now getting more information about the incident.
We're told that the scene unfolded right as DJ was entering his house. As he was questioned by undercover narcotic agents, the officer in the black baseball hat (pictured above) grabbed DJ and shoved his head into his front door. DJ's sister, who was holding a newborn baby, was witness to the entire scene. When she approached the door where DJ was being assaulted, a second officer pushed her.
They then dragged DJ into the street and punched him in the head until he was knocked out. Others in lock-up with DJ report that he blacked out and has no recollection of what happened. DJ is still in custody and not being allowed to speak to anyone; however, criminal charges are yet to be filed.
Currently two of the other three men who were arrested have been released.
We're told man seen holding the cane in the video is a gay, HIV-positive man who needs his cane because of medical complications. The police are continuing to hold him in custody, allegedly because his cane is being considered a "deadly weapon."
Orlando (last name unknown), who had his face bloodied after pulling the man with the cane away from officers, was released "a few hours ago," according to Travis Jensen.

Be prepared to fight or run, and never get close enough to be grabbed unless you have the advantage of numbers and intend to fight. Don't think they can't be beat, I once saw a pig go down in a chokehold with 4 activists on him!
Filming cops from a bicycle during protests, I've been chased both ways over the DC-MD line around "Furrier's Row", using traffic to block pursuing pig cars in each case. When the pigs are violating their own regulations, they do not want to be filmed and you must be prepared to defend yourself while doing so. Private security guards too: I once had to whack one on the arm with a tripod to force her to let go of my camera after feeling her hand close over it.
A bike is actually one of the best ways to get the edge on the pigs, so long as you do never let them catch you when you are locking it up, going indoors, etc. Never stop until you are safely away from them, and never approach your house, car, place of work, or anything else while they are still in sight or could have guessed your escape route. Police are occupying enemy soldiers, treat them as such.

Triple Pundit: Is Air Conditioning Heating Up The Planet?
With summer temperatures on the rise, a group of authors and environmentalists look at possible ways to reduce the impact of how we keep cool.
Stan Cox is a senior researcher at the Land Institute. His book, Losing Our Cool: Uncomfortable Truths About Our Air Conditioned World, describes the threat that our ever-increasing need for air conditioning poses to efforts to maintain our planetary climate within its natural limits, the limits that all living things on the planet have evolved to thrive in.
Consider these facts.
- With temperatures rising, those with air conditioning will be using it more frequently.
- As people in developing countries move into the middle class, they will buy air conditioners as a high priority item, especially in hot countries like India.
- Much of the electricity for these units is provided by fossil fuels, which contribute to global warming
- New refrigerants called HFC's, which were developed to avoid the impact on the ozone layer associated with CFC's, are, unfortunately, potent greenhouse gases (GHG) and these will eventually leak out
Furthermore, air conditioning has encouraged people to move into and develop previously uninhabitable areas (e.g. Phoenix) that are inherently unsustainable without massive inflows of energy and fresh water. These people are now totally dependent on air conditioning for their survival.
Cox was recently a guest on Diane Rehm's radio talk show on NPR as part of her Environmental Outlook series. In that program Cox claimed that the overall impact of air-conditioning systems in both vehicles and buildings today is almost half a billion metric tons, which is about 7% of the US total. Cox went on to say that if we remain on our current course, we can expect electricity used to power air-conditioners to increase tenfold by 2050. This is despite significant increases in a/c efficiency which has gone up 30% just in the past few years. He goes on to say that in many instances, air-conditioning is "non-essential."
Cox has done a valuable service in calling attention to this important issue, though I would have to say that his concerns going forward are somewhat exaggerated. There are a number of forces already at play in a variety of areas that will drive these numbers lower. As we move forward and the need becomes even more apparent, these forces will most certainly be joined by others.
A number of the following ideas were pointed out by Diane's other guests on the show, including Steve Yurek of the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute, Durwood Zaelke of the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development, and NY Times environmental reporter Elisabeth Rosenthal, as well as various callers.
Among these are, on the equipment side: non-refrigerated cooling (such as evaporative cooling), geothermal heat pumps (which can pump heat into or out of a building), thermal energy storage systems (in which ice is made at night, when it can be done more efficiently, and used the following day to cool buildings), energy recovery ventilators (that extract heat and moisture from fresh air coming in), and absorption cooling in which a heat source is substituted for the mechanical action of the compressor. This latter opens the door for solar cooling, which is a tremendously appealing concept, since the energy source is always present when it is needed most.

A payday loan might be the only financial option left offered to people. However, they should be only used like a last resort, whenever possible. Try asking family or close friends for a loan. Although this question could possibly be extremely embarrassing for you, you'll save lots more money doing this rather than using payday cash advances due to the ridiculously high interest rates and fees that pay day loan companies charge.
A quick check at the website of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) is always a good idea when you finalize selecting payday loan provider. There are a lot of sketchy companies around scamming those who are really looking for help. Take the time to know whether or not the company you are interested in is on the up-and-up.
Payday Loans Courtenay Bc may help in an emergency, but realize that you could be charged finance charges that will equate to almost fifty percent interest. This huge monthly interest can make trying to pay back these loans impossible. The money is going to be deducted from your paycheck and will force you right back in to the payday loan office to get more money.
Keep your personal safety planned if you have to physically search for a payday lender. These places of business handle a large amount of cash and they are usually in economically impoverished parts of town. Try and only visit during hours of sunlight and park in highly visible spaces. Go in when some other clients are also around.

(edited release)
Lost in the Fog, who suffered his first defeat Saturday when he ran a disappointing seventh in the TVG Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) at Belmont Park, will now get a vacation.
"He's fine," reported trainer Greg Gilchrist Sunday. "He's going to Southern Chase Farm in Ocala, Florida. He'll certainly get November and December (off) and quite possibly January."
The break in training will be the first for Lost in the Fog since he began his career last November with a maiden victory at Golden Gate Fields. That win was followed by nine straight stakes victories, and several trips across the country.
Lost in the Fog appeared to be heading to win No. 11 in the Breeders' Cup when he surged to the lead approaching the stretch. The 3-year-old colt faltered in the final furlong, however, and faded to seventh.
"We probably pushed the button one too many times," said Gilchrist. "I think all the traveling finally got to him a little bit."
Lost in the Fog had trained very well for the Breeders' Cup and Gilchrist was confident going into the race, as were the fans that made him a 3-to-5 favorite. Gilchrist, however, became concerned about his horse's chances a few hours before the race when Lost in the Fog began to act up.
"Saturday he certainly wasn't himself," said Gilchrist. "He was nervous before the race and I'd never seen him nervous before. He was acting up. He acted like a horse that was upset about something. When you see that, it gives you a bad feeling. They just use up energy.
"When a horse acts like that, you usually don't get a very good performance," continued Gilchrist. "He basically only ran a half mile. He just didn't really put out Saturday."
Lost in the Fog heads to the sidelines after an outstanding 2005 campaign in which he won eight stakes in nine starts and earned $844,500. Overall, Lost in the Fog is 10-for-11 with $889,075 in earnings.

A Recipe for writing responsive REST clients on Android
Android development is easy but making the app resilient is hard.
Apps are developed under perfect conditions. Test phones with few applications running on top of them with a reliable network conditions. When the app is handed off to end users, environment change dramatically. People use their apps everywhere and network connection is very unreliable.
When developers don't take care of such cases, it results in a sh*tty user experience. In this blog post, I will share my personal architectural choices with library references.
If you haven't watched already, you should definitely spend an hour and carefully listen to this talk in Google IO 2010.
The most important key to provide good user experience is to drop dependency on network while handling user actions. You need to have a minimal persistent model in your client application and all of your UIs should render themselves based on this data. Changes applied by the user should be applied to local model instantly and synched to your backend in the background, whenever network is available.
It is easy to say but when application grows in size, this becomes really hard if you don't have a proper application architecture in place.
Although there are exceptions, many applications fit well into MVC model.
- Models: Whatever you show in your UI should be modelled accordingly and persistent. Most of the time, sqlite is your best choice in Android. Writing bare sqlite is time consuming and error prone so I highly recommend using an ORM. At Path, we use a highly customized version of GreenDao or you can use OrmLite. Although code generation is ugly, I still prefer GreenDao to avoid reflection which runs extremely slow before Honeycomb.
UPDATE As Eugenio pointed out in Google+, looks like there is a way to avoid runtime annotation processing for ORMLite using an auto generated table config file.
- Controllers: You should write your application logic in separate controller classes that are independent from your activities. Activities & Fragments are volatile and have short life-cycles. Responsibility of these controllers should be to handle the user request, make necessary change in data model and enqueue web requests if necessary.
- Views and View Controllers: Views are your regular views & View holders on Android. View Controller's depends on your state. If it is a simple layout, most of the time your Activity or Fragment. They are responsible to call your model to fetch the data and render your views. It is also their responsibility to listen for events and update views as necessary. For instance, if it is a user profile activity, the activity should:
- Register for events related to User object (e.g. UserInfoUpdatedEvent)
- Tell UserController to refresh user's information (if necessary)
- Load the data from model in an async task and render the view when it returns.
The key rule here is that, 99% of the time, your activity should not have any method that relies on network. It should always load the data from disk and just render it.
- Load the data from model in an async task and render the view when it returns.
- Events: Events are the only contract between your components (controllers, views etc). Any component is responsible for emitting events in their scope and listening for events which may require them to take action.
For instance, assume you have a messaging client. It is your
MessageControllers responsibility to save the incoming message to database and then dispatch a
NewMessageArrivedEventwith related information. Your conversation view will listen for this event and refresh itself if it is related. If your app is in background, then it will be your
NotificationController's responsibility to show a notification. This may look like too much work but it is your key to scale the app going further. If your product people asks you to implement an unread count in user photos, then it will be that component's responsibility to listen for the same event and update the number.
- Persistence: Start with a good orm. My favorite is GreenDao but many people are happy with OrmLite.
- Inversion of Control: Roboguice is a nice library that does more than dependency injection. Though its runtime annotation processing requirement is a bummer for Android. At Path, we use a in house written compile time dependency injection library to fit our needs but Dagger is probably the best open source solution.
- EventBus: EventBus by GreenRobot is my favorite here. Is clean, supports getting the callback in different threads.
- Background Activity: To have a responsive client, it is essential that you have a good architecture in place. It is very common that an application is showing a progress bar just because a more important request is waiting for a less important request to finish. This is why we've developed Job Queue. Once you model all of your background activity as Jobs, it will be very easy for you to control which request to run first.
- We have an Async task implementation called
SafeAsyncTaskthat binds itself to activity lifecycle and cancels automatically if activity is stopped.
- We have a
BaseActivityclass that extends
Activity, registers to
EventBuswhen activity is started and unregister when it stops.
- Model: For simplicity, assume we have the following objects, all persistent into database:
- Tweet
- Feed (a list of tweet ids)
- User
- Our model will use a single identity scope which will guarantee that only a single instance of any tweet will exists in memory.
- We'll implement a
TweetControllerto manage all tweet activity.
There are many tools that will help you put this architecture in place. I'll only mention the ones I used but they are not the only way, probably not even the best.
Real Life Case Study
A Twitter client
Writing a Twitter client is a really good example as it reflects many aspects of a regular REST client. You need to fetch different feeds, send retweets, send replies and follow requests. Lets briefly model how such a client can work.
For now, we'll assume that:
Loading and displaying the feed First, we'll write a
FetchFeedJob which is responsible to fetch the feed for a given
feedId. Here,
feedId might be user's own feed or any hashtag. Basically, anything that can be displayed as a feed.
TweetController will have the public method which can be triggered to enqueue this job.
Disclaimer Any codes in this section should be considered as pseudo code. I'm not writing it in an IDE so expect typos.
File TweetController.java
//we require the related activity if present so that Job can auto-cancel itself if activity disappears.
public void refreshFeed(String feedId, @Nullable Activity bindToActivity) {
jobManager.addJobInBackground(bindToActivity == null ? Priority.MIN : Priority.UX, new FetchFeedJob(feedId, bindToActivity));
Here, I assumed we have a Priority static class which holds a bunch of numbers to control priority. For simplicity, assume it has the following fields:
public static final int MIN = 1;
public static final int SYNC = 2;
public static final int PREFETCH = 3;
public static final int UX = 4;//user facing
When user navigates to any feed activity, it will look like this:
File: FeedActivity.java
@Inject TweetController tweetController;
@Inject FeedModel feedModel;
public void onStart() {
tweetController.refreshFeed(myFeedId, this);
private void refreshContent() {
new SafeAsyncTask<Feed, String>(this) {
public Feed doInBackground(String feedId) {
return feedModel.getFeed(myFeedId);
public void onPostExecute(Feed feed) {
if(feed.size() == 0) {
} else {
//add some code here to preserve list scroll position to avoid jumps in UI
listView.setAdapter(new Adapter(feed.getTweets());
public void onEventMainThread(FetchingFeedEvent event) {
if(event.getFeedId().equals(myFeedId)) {
public void onEventMainThread(UpdatedFeedEvent event) {
if(event.getFeedId().equals(myFeedId) {
if(event.isSuccessful()) {
} else {
Keep in mind that event callback are NOT called if activity is stopped. It is handled by the
BaseActivity. This helps us keep the code clean and not check if the view exists or activity is visible.
The last missing piece of code is the actual Job to fetch the feed. It will look like:
File FetchFeedJob.java
public class FetchFeedJob extends BaseJob {
private final String feedId;
@Inject EventBus eventbus;
@Inject FeedModel feedModel;
@Inject TweetModel tweetModel;
@Inject TwitterAPI twitterAPI;
public FetchFeedJob(String feedId, @Nullable Activity boundToActivityLifecycle) {
super(true, feedId, boundToActivityLifecycle);
//require network. run in feedId group to assure that only one instance per feed runs at a given time
//we'll assume that BaseJob can get an activity as a parameter and similar to SafeBackgroundTask,
//it can cancel itself silently
this.feedId = feedId;
public void onAdded() {
eventBus.post(new FetchingFeedEvent(feedId);
public void onRun() {
List<Tweet> tweets = twitterAPI.fetchFeed(feedId);
tweets = tweetModel.saveNewTweets(tweets);//assume this returns internalized tweets which are added to the identity scope
Feed feed = feedModel.getOrCreate(feedId);
eventBus.post(new UpdatedFeedEvent(feedId, true));//true means success
public void onCancel() {
if(super.didActivityDisappear() == false) {
eventBus.post(new UpdatedFeedEvent(feedId, false));//false means failure
This is pretty much enough code to show a particular feed. Of course you'll need additional functionality to paginate the feed etc but that is outside the scope of this post.
- Re-Tweet Functionality Updating objects is a case where many developers go lazy and avoid doing local updates because preserving object state is not trivial. Most of the time, I prefer to duplicate the field with a local version to implement such functionality.
For this example, lets assume our
Tweetclass has a field called
didRetweetwhich is returned by the server as a boolean. We will add another field, called
didLocalRetweetwhich is also a boolean but
Nullable(to be specific,
java.lang.Boolean). If user did any action that is pending, we use this field (while rendering, we take it into account). Since this field never arrives from server, its value is never overridden.
File: Tweet.java
public boolean didRetweet;
public Boolean didLocalRetweet;
public boolean isRetweeted() {
return didRetweet || Boolean.TRUE.equals(didLocalRetweet);
Rendering code will look sth like this:
File: TweetViewHolder.java
if(tweet.getDidRetweet()) {
} else if(Boolean.TRUE.equals(tweet.getDidLocalRetweet()) {
} else {
When user clicks on an enabled retweet button, we call
tweetController to make necessary changes.
File: TweetViewHolder.java
public onRetweetClick() {
File: TweetController.java
public void retweet(Tweet tweet) {
if(!tweet.isRetweeted()) {
jobManager.addJobInBackground(Priority.SYNC, new RetweetJob(tweet));
And finally, RetweetJob:
public class RetweetJob extends BaseJob {
private final long tweetId;//we keep just the id, not the actual tweet because job is persistent. This is done to respect identity scope. Your implementation may change depending on your DAO layer.
@Inject transient EventBus eventbus;//we mark these as transient since we don't want them to be serialized
@Inject transient TweetModel tweetModel;
@Inject transient TwitterAPI twitterAPI;
public RetweetJob(Tweet tweet) {
super(true, true);//require network & persist
this.tweetId = tweet.getId();
public void onAdded() {
//job is written to disk. we can safely update the model.
Tweet tweet = tweetModel.get(tweetId);
eventBus.post(new UpdatedTweetEvent(tweet);
public void onRun() {
Tweet tweet = tweetModel.get(tweetId);
//maybe we've retweeted this from another client before the job could run. It is a good practice to do
//this check before making an expensive web request.
if(tweet.getDidRetweet() == false) {
//API throws an exception if it fails so if it passed this line, we know it succeeded.
//It goes w/o saying that depending on the API, you may need to check the response.
eventBus.post(new UpdatedTweetEvent(tweet);
public void onCancel() {
Tweet tweet = tweetModel.get(tweetId);
if(tweet != null && tweet.getDidLocalRetweet() != null) {
eventBus.post(new FailedToRtweetEvent(tweetId));
protected boolean shouldReRunOnThrowable(Throwable throwable) {
//handle the exception. maybe it says this tweet has already been retweeted.
//or maybe, API returned a 400 error so we should not retry
//update model accordingly and dispatch necessary events
//this may also be an internal server error or a network error in which case we should retry
return shouldRetry;
And finally, our FeedActivity listens for this event and updates the related row.
File FeedActivity.java
public void onEventMainThread(UpdatedTweetEvent tweet) {
TweetHolder row = findRow(tweet);
//findRow finds the related tweet row if it is visible. if not, we just ignore it since the next
//time it is rendered, it will have the updated data (again, assuming that we are using a single identity
//scope in our DAO layer. GreenDAO supports this out of the box and is very useful).
if(row == null) return;
public void onEventMainThread(FailedToRtweetEvent event) {
//show retweet error dialog
This is it. We've :
- Reflected user changes instantly so they got a feedback.
- Enqueued related persistent information to ensure we'll retweet. Meanwhile, did show a different state in the retweet button so that user has a clue on what is going on.
- Separated the business logic from the UI. This way, the full screen TweetActivity can also listen for the same event.
- Since this is an important information, our Notification controller can also listen for these events and show notifications if user is not in our app.
Final Words
I tried to put together an example on how to write a responsive REST client on Android. Many details are skipped to keep it as short as possible but this article should give you enough idea on how to implement it.
I have NOT invented any parts of this architecture. It is a well known way of doing things but I see many applications lack such functionality. Hope this will help you improve your user experience.
If anything is unclear or you disagree, let me know in comments and I'll make necessary changes or reply concerns.

Box Score | PDF Box Score | Saturday Gametracker | Watch Live
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The UAB baseball team used a three-run eighth inning to rally past UT Martin for a 4-2 victory in Friday's series opener at Young Memorial Field.
UAB starter Ryan Woolley held the UT Martin bats in check for eight innings until the Blazers broke through to snap a five-game losing streak. Jamal Austin and Harry Clark each had a pair of hits for UAB.
"Obviously, scoring is proving to be difficult for us right now," UAB head coach Brian Shoop said. "When that's the case, you're thankful to score however you can. Woolley kept us in the game until we were finally able to generate some offense late."
The Blazers (9-8) and Skyhawks (4-13) will continue their three-game set on Saturday with a 2 p.m. CT first pitch.
Woolley allowed just two runs, both of which were unearned, while striking out six batters without a walk to earn his third win of the season.
UT Martin grabbed the lead early, scoring those two runs in the second inning with the help of two UAB errors and an RBI single from Matt Milligan to grab an early 2-0 lead.
The Blazers got one run back in the fourth when Jamal Austin singled, stole second, moved to third on a Ryan Ussery flyout and scored on a John Frost groundout. But that was the only run UAB could muster against UT Martin starter Dan Tobik, who left after seven innings with a 2-1 lead but wound up with a no-decision.
After stranding runners in scoring position in each of Tobik's final three innings, UAB rallied against reliever Alec Mills in the eighth. Austin got things started again with a one-out double and scored to tie the game when UT Martin shortstop Cody Terry couldn't handle a sharply hit ground ball from Patrick Palmeiro.
Frost then fought off a breaking ball for a single to right field to give the Blazers two base runners, still with one out. Ivan De Jesus followed with the go-ahead single to score Palmeiro, and Harry Clark singled two batters later to plate Frost and give UAB a 4-2 lead.
Ryan Nance came on to pitch the ninth inning and allowed a pair of UT Martin base runners with one out before inducing a ground ball out from Matt Young and striking out pinch hitter Ben Brewer to end the game.
Nance earned his third save of the season and still has not allowed a run in 10.2 innings of relief. He struck out two of the five batters he faced Friday and owns 15 strikeouts on the year.
Woolley and Nance combined to hold UT Martin to seven hits, all of which came from three players. Milligan had a game-high three hits, while Terry and Phil Sorensen had two hits each.
