We eliminate Gophers, Moles and Squirrels from your property. We trap or poison to get rid of gophers, get rid of moles or get rid of squirrels. Rodent Guys of So CAL is the number one choice for a gopher company. With years of experience specializing in gophers, moles and squirrels, Rodent Guys is a sound choice.
Above is our burrow blaster – gopher | Eagle Rock
Please Click Here for our Main Website for more information
What pest do you have | gopher | Pest Identification:
Eagle Rock | gopher
Gophers leave a horseshoe-shaped mound above ground when building a new tunnel system. This dirt is made by the gopher pushing the debris out of the new excavation. Since the gopher surfaces on a 45 deg. angle, the dirt in pushed in only one direction. This causes a flat side where no dirt is pushed and a fan-shaped gopher mound where the dirt is thrown out of the gopher hole.
Eagle Rock | gopher
Gophers are agricultural pests and damage usually landscaping and turf. They eat on many varieties of plants, and the mounds they make can be unsightly, damaging to turf, and cause trip hazards on athletic fields and parks. That trip hazard is also important for horse and livestock owners. These places feel it is crucial to exterminate gophers to protect their expensive animals from twisting their legs.
Gopher Control in Eagle Rock Rodent Guys are proficient in both trapping and poison applications. Most customers choose poison as the method to get rid of gophers. However, if you have dogs you may consider trapping. Trapping is sometimes not desired because of the time and extra labor to get rid of gophers which raises the expense. If you have a dog you are concerned might dig into the gopher bait, gopher trapping is a great solution.
Mole Damage in Eagle Rock
Moles damage will be noticed in lawns, flowerbeds and even plain dirt areas. The most common damage is raised dirt where the mole tunnels. These tunnels, used to locate food, are shallow and the digging causes the dirt to be pushed up above them. Mole tunnels normally along sidewalks, rocks, trees, driveways and other hardscapes.
Moles can also dig mounds, unlike gophers, these mole mounds are shaped like a volcano. A mole comes out of the ground straight up pushing dirt as he goes. This causes the dirt to fall on all sides of the hole, like lava coming out of a volcano.
Mole Control in Eagle Rock
Mole control by Rodent Guys is normally done with traps. Trapping moles is much more difficult than trapping gophers. We use several types of mole traps to make them work in different types of soil conditions. In some situations, we will also use poisons. We do not rely on poison by its self because we have not found any that work consistently.
Squirrel Damage in Eagle Rock
Eagle Rock | Ground squirrels cause damage to fruit and nut trees, vegetable gardens and dig large holes. A homeowner can have limited success with controlling squirrels. However, due to a change in US EPA labeling requirements, poison baits distributed by the County Agricultural Commissioner offices are no longer available for sale to the general public. Remember, squirrel bait can pose a risk to pets and wildlife if used improperly FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY, if you are able to find squirrel poison and wish to use by yourself.

"Concurrency is the composition of independently executing processes, while Parallelism is the simultaneous execution of (possibly related) computations"As I wrote several times in the past, in OLTP, throughput is king, concurrency is the main thing that is put into the test.
Concurrency is where Facebook has a million "Like"s every second, each "Like" is independent, and they need to be processed concurrently.
Parallelism, is where few concurrent activities, say a few analytic reports run in Oracle Exadata, Vertica or GreenPlum. Every report is is sliced into many related computations that execute simultaneously.
Are these the same?
From 50,000 feet, we see many things running in the same time, in parallel, concurrently, maybe even distributed. But we need to be accurate, there is a huge difference, and it is in the source: how many "original" transactions we had to process? A million "Like"s vs. a few big analytic report. In both cases I see million operations coming out of them at the back, but:
In the "Like"s use case - those are the real transactions, concurrently running, distributed.
In the report use case - those are million pieces of the same initial single job.
Important! Not to be confused! Big difference! One is great for throughput scalability and one is not. More in my next post.

There will always be a party for giving more to the rulers, that the rulers may be able in return to give more to them. Hence as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom, a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people. Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more.
- Benjamin Franklin, a letter to the Constitutional Convention
Can We the People Govern Ourselves?
Can democracies survive? Can We the People govern ourselves? Maybe, but democratically elected politicians must significantly alter their behavior.
Recently, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analyzed the fiscal gap of state governments in America. What they have found is elected officials have promised too much and saved too little. The combined debt of the States is over $4 trillion. These are debts to be paid by future taxpayers. To eliminate their debts, state governments must increase tax revenues by 12.7% annually or reduce spending by 12.7%.
Benjamin Franklin once warned about predatory interest groups, using government to extract favors – paid by all the tax payers.
There will always be a party for giving more to the rulers, that the rulers may be able in return to give more to them.
Unfortunately, present -day politicians have been pleasing the predatory, interest groups without raising taxes. Ruinously, elected politicians give benefits, e.g., posh retirements to government workers, and do not increase taxes. Intentionally, politicians are increasing the government's debt, which must be paid by future workers. This is a common curse of democratically elected governments - politicians buy votes today and push debts off to future generations.
Bob Williams, CEO of State Budget Solutions, identifies the sources of America's disabling debt – accounting gimmicks, reckless spending and devious politicians:
The downward spiral that state budgets are experiencing are the result of accounting gimmicks, reckless spending, and a failure of state legislatures and governors over the years to make the tough decisions to reset state spending to a level that taxpayers can afford.
Presently, America is stagnating economically and socially because of politically created debt. Tragically, few politicians are honestly assessing the problem, and fewer are attempting to correct the escalating fiscal, political and societal upheaval.
Bob Williams, a former legislator, federal auditor, budget expert and a champion of personal freedom, knows what states must do to escape their imminent disasters. First, identify essential government functions and implement Reality-Based Budgeting.
Upon determining how much money the state actually has, government officials must establish what is the most effective and efficient way to deliver essential services within those limits.
Equally import, states must impose 401(k) type retirement accounts. At the bequest of the public employee unions, generous and unfunded retirement and medical benefits have been promised to government workers. Again Williams:
Unfunded pension liabilities are the dark cloud on the horizon of state budgets; a cloud totaling trillions of dollars.
Again, states must tax future workers to meet these contractual obligations. Last year, Illinois increased its income tax by 66% and California is attempting to increase its income tax from 10 to 13 percent to help pay for government employees' benefits.
Politely, Bob Williams states that time is of the essence:
The day of reckoning is here.
Will these changes be implemented? Some states have made modest reforms, e.g., Utah and Indiana. Other states are attempting to institute reforms, which politically and socially are fervently contested, e.g., Wisconsin, Ohio, and New Jersey. Realistically, few politicians have the fortitude, persistence and character to reverse and rectify years of political gimmicks and gamesmanship. For self-government to survive and thrive, We the People must become persistently involved with the necessary reforms.
There is no perfect solution. There has never been a perfect system of governance. America has had the best system of government, which in recent years has been overrun by predatory special interest groups and conniving politicians. Almost every political entity in America has accumulated enormous debt, which must be paid by future workers. At some point, the future workers are going to refuse to pay for the past recklessness and corruptions of elected politicians. Reformation must begin immediately. Bob Williams has identified two essential reforms – Reality-Based Budgeting and pension reform.
Again, time is of the essence or greater disruptions and bankruptcies will occur – much greater and more violent than the social and economic unrest occurring now.
Much more important, self-governance is precious - unique. Only We the People can restore and improve our system of self-governance. Only structural reform will restore freedom and prosperity in America. Politicians must be held accountable.
Benjamin Franklyn understood that predatory interest groups would corrupt the political process, with the rulers demanding more taxes which enslaves the people:
There will always be a party for giving more to the rulers, that the rulers may be able in return to give more to them. Hence as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom, a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people. Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more.
If "We the People" had been vigilant enough to prevent our state legislatures from ratifying the 16th and 17th Amendments in 1913, which were pushed by the socialist/communist "Progressive Movement", as well as the big money center banks, "We the People" would never have ended up in the mess we find ourselves.
It was the states which abrogated their voice in the Congress of the United States. It was the U.S. Senate elected by the people, helped with campaign funds from the big money center banks, which allowed the passage of the National Banking Act of 1935, and the installation of our irredeemable currency system.
Forget all other lamentations. Concentrate on the repeal of the 16th and 17th Amendments. With their repeal, the U.S. Constitution is returned to its original intent as it was written in 1787. States will then again have the power to control the monetary system. Failure to repeal these two amendments will inevitably result in the loss of the American Republic. It is as simple as that.

The story about PGP becomes really funny.
Three and a half years ago (in April 2009) our company took part in InfoSecurity Europe in London. I should confess that London is one of my favourite cities; besides, I love events on security — so that I was really enjoying that trip (with my colleagues). But something happened.

Gerard adds two new exciting projects to his list of upcoming work.
Gerard Butler, Sam Worthington and Matthew McConaughey are teaming up for Thunder Run, an all-CG 3D action thriller being made by Freedom Films. Simon West is set to direct, according to Freedom Films, while Hyde Park International is handling international sales and launching the title at AFM.
The movie is adapting the novel Thunder Run – The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad, by Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent David Zucchino. Robert Port, who won an Oscar in 2003 for best short documentary, and Ken Nolan, who co-wrote Black Hawk Down, penned the script.
Read more from The Hollywood Reporter…
Gerard us currently in negotiations to star in Antoine Fuqua's "Hunter Killer."
Based on the novel "Firing Point" by George Wallace and Don Keith, the story follows an untested submarine captain who must work with a Navy SEAL team to rescue Russia's president, who's taken prisoner during a military coup. The two sides team to stop a rogue Russian general from igniting WWIII.
Butler is in talks to play Capt. Joe Glass, the commander of the USS Toledo, while "Avatar" star Sam Worthington is being eyed for the role of Bill Beaman, the leader of a special Navy SEAL unit called the Dev Group.
Gerard is currently at work on Of Men and Mavericks in California. Set pictures are in the gallery and at Pacifica Patch.
GerardButler.Net continues to receive Amazon.com commissions to help support the website expenses, but those commissions are down with the economic challenges of the times. While our hosting fees are covered, we still have expenses like domain registrations, postal mailbox, postage for contest winners and our newsletter service. These expenses total close to $750. Looking forward to 2012, we would love to cover those charges now and donate the Amazon.com commissions to charity at the end of the year. As of today, $500 has been donated toward our goal (THANK YOU!), if you would like to help support the website, click here. Every little bit helps and thank you so very much for all your support in the past. Without you, the fans, we would not still over 10 years after we began!!

I like the idea of financial independence, and if I'd had my way, we would have started our family once we had college fully funded for each child. Plus, a healthy emergency fund, a do-I-want-to-be-a-working-mom-or-not fund, and a minivan fund.
But I didn't want to be 80 years old at my children's high school graduations either.
Ironically, as it turns out, we decided to build our family through international adoption, a notoriously expensive way to build a family. The expense, I'm ashamed to say, is one of the main reasons why I resisted adoption for years.
When we reviewed our first packet of information, the fees ranged from $18,000 to a jaw-dropping $60,000. Gulp. Not only did we not have any of the funds above (well, except for an emergency fund with three months of living expenses), we didn't have any money saved up for our adoption when we formally started the process in May of 2011.
How We Are Paying for It
First, we cut expenses as much as we could. We
- raised deductibles
- shopped around for insurance
- slashed our vacation budget
- bought second-hand clothes or wore the ones we had
- cut our landline to the bare minimum
- halted all projects on our fixer-upper
All the things that you already know. We didn't go crazy here.
We sold stuff. I consigned clothes and yard-saled kitchen stuff. My husband sold his tractor he'd painstakingly restored. He made the biggest sacrifice, but he said it was worth it. Unfortunately, it didn't sell for as much as we'd hoped, but the $4,500 boosted our adoption account.
And lastly, we made more money. He worked as a mechanic for years, so he repaired farm implements in the evenings. I taught a couple of extra classes, reviewed textbooks, and filled in a few days at a doctor's office while I was on break from school. I also started a significant side job, but we tried not to touch that money unless we got desperate. That money has another purpose, related to our adoption, but more on that another time.
If we couldn't cash-flow the adoption expenses, we were going to take out a small loan until our adoption tax credit was applied.
What We Didn't Do
I follow lots of adoption blogs. Most people hold fundraisers to defray the adoption costs, but not us. We don't think there is anything wrong with it, but between my husband and me, we had over 20 years of full-time work experience in occupations that paid decent salaries. Many of our friends and family got married early, have several kids, and live on only one income. In our situation, we felt guilty asking anyone else to help fund our adoption.
One creative family hosted several fundraising meals. For a donation, they would make you (and up to seven of your closest friends) a theme meal of your choice. Others held bake sales and yard sales.
There are also grants to apply for, but we didn't do this, either (but only because I got lazy).
Our Progress
As I mentioned at the beginning, I like financial security. The thought of starting the process without having the money for it didn't feel secure or smart to me.
"The nice thing about international adoption is that the fees aren't due all at once," said a friend of mine who had already adopted internationally.
And other friends told me, "Lisa, if you wait until you're financially secure to have kids, you'll never have them."
So I gritted my teeth, and we jumped in with both feet.
Before we started the process, we were given a fee schedule so we knew how much each step would cost. Fortunately for our financial well-being (but unfortunately because we want to meet our kids), this is a slow process. As we complete each step, we get a bill. So far, we have always been able to pay each one.
By the summer of 2012, our savings account held enough money for the last fees, including travel expenses and staying in our children's native country for six weeks.
Bumps in the Road
Unfortunately, our adoption savings account and emergency fund were one and the same.
I was feeling confident that we wouldn't have any emergencies. After all, we have good health insurance and a dependable car. What could go wrong?
That confidence disappeared when we had to replace our septic system. It drained all but $1,000 from our emergency/adoption fund. I started feeling desperate when we accepted the referral for our children three months later. At first, taking a loan seemed likely. Then, money started pouring in from my community again, even though we had told no one that our fund was low.
Today, while our adoption fund is lower than the pre-septic-emergency level, I know it will be enough to pay our remaining fees. As we wait on final paperwork approval, we are scrambling to save enough money for traveling and living expenses.
The Future
We expect to travel in February and return home with our kids in late March. As we wait, I'm researching flight costs, apartment costs, finding clothes, searching for options to help them learn English, and making medical appointments. We're also making decisions on our jobs. We know we can't maintain our sanity by keeping our current schedules.
I still like financial security as much as I ever have. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some apprehension about how these changes will impact our family. But it's less about the money and more about wondering if I will be a good enough parent to these kids who have already suffered loss.
If you're considering adoption, don't let the financial piece scare you. There are many options for adoption that are much less expensive than this example. And even though international adoption is expensive, it's within reach for most families, using fundraising and grant opportunities.
This definitely isn't about getting rich slowly, because you won't make money. But you might make a difference. And that's always a good investment.

First, some thank you's are appropriate.
The UMass Athletic administration should take a bow. The Albany game was an event. McGuirk looked great under our new lights with our new sound system on our new field turf field. The fireworks were awesome. I bet a good 50% of the crowd stayed to watch the show after the game ended.
The UMass Marching Band was great for the umpteenth year. The band makes these halftime shows look easy------and it's not. Thanks for the great music.
The UMass cheerleaders were wonderful as usual. Speaking of making things look easy, that cheerleader that was ticking out those wide armed push ups, was in some serious good shape!
Special thanks to the 15,112 UMass and Albany fans who took in the game. The crowd made the atmosphere. That was the second largest opening crowd in UMass history. The UMass fans gave the team a nice hand as the game ended.
Consider these games:
- Albany@UMass 15,112
- Richmond@Elon (the FCS/I-AA game of the week) 10,842
- Colgate@Stony Brook 5,808
- Monmouth@ Rhode Island (the new version Rams open at home) 3,220
Then there was the game. The good:
Tony Nelson was all he was cracked up to be and then some. He averaged 8.6 yards a carry. He rushed 20 times for 171 yards and one TD. Nelson didn't fumble the ball and he didn't cramp up. He was flat out the best UMass player on field.
Punter Brent Arnold (47.5 yard average) and kicker Armando Cuko (62.0 yard average) in their 2.0 version did really well. Cuko kicked the extra points half way to Sunderland and also hit his kickoffs well. In the still, humid air, Arnold boomed several punts. A little better coverage would have helped. If we could have downed one of those punts on one yard line, it would have really put some pressure on the Great Danes. JUCO Terrance Farris was close to the ball on special teams all game.
Ian Jorgensen made a great one handed catch for a TD.
UMass broke Korrey Davis' redshirt in the first game as he had seven carries for 19 yards.
And the bad:
UMass players were dropping like flies with cramps (which was not happening to Albany, BTW). The constant change in offensive linemen did not help the offense, which was limited to 16 first downs and 307 total yards. UMass had only 92 net yards passing and Liam was at an unheard of low for him with a 50% completion rate.
Our tackling in the first quarter was awful. It looked like we were trying to play flag football. We were whiffing on tackles all over the place. As the game went on, that improved. The defense began to get pressure on Esposito and the hitting picked up. McCarty still averaged 5.2 yards per carry.
Albany is a good team. They were 8-4 last year and undefeated in the NEC. They were also the unofficial Patriot League champs as they beat playoff bound Fordham 23-20. Albany has a definite chance of beating Hofstra, UNH or Delaware.
All in all, the first quarter was terrible, but we worked our way through it. On to Holy Cross.
The team was not the only ones not in game form. I left my image-stabilized zoom lens home and I was getting some serious blur in my images by the second half.

When you get hungry, you can really get in the zone — the Burger Zone.
Burger Zone, located in The Gateway at Mountain Village near West Sixth Street in Ontario, offers many choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And believe it or not, it's not just burgers at this joint.
Burger Zone's menu includes numerous breakfast items (served all day) such as breakfast burritos, French toast, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches and more.The menu also includes plenty of lunch and dinner choices including burgers (of course), Mexican food starting at $1.89 for a cheese quesadilla, several sandwiches, salads starting at $2.89, teriyaki bowls plus specials like a burger, fries and drink for $3.99 and up. A nice variety of items and decent prices, who could ask for more?
I noticed one of the combo specials was a pastrami cheeseburger, which included fries and a drink for $5.99. I asked if I could have a salad instead of fries and the server said, "No problem." At no extra charge, too. Drinks are self-serve which is a plus, free refills.
Burger Zone dining area is a pretty basic with nice granite table, a flatscreen television with a few tables outside. The decor was simple and the large windows made the small room fill larger.
My lunch was brought to my table, served on a tray. The pastrami burger was quite a sight. The toasted sesame seed bun was loaded with a charbroiled beef patty topped with a slice of American cheese. lettuce, slice of tomato, pickles and an abundant serving of delicious pastrami. It was a real man-sized burger.
Lo cal? Probably not. Delicious? Oh yes.
I tried to eat it without making a mess, but no such luck.
The fresh garden salad had a bit of shredded carrots, slices of tomato and iceberg lettuce with dressing on the side. A very filling lunch and the price was right.
Burger Zone is a nice, no-frills eatery, with variety of choices and affordable prices. Just the type of place I like to find.

Acquiring possessions is something most people will do over the course of a lifetime. Having nice things is important, but there is a limit to the amount of "stuff" a person can have. If a homeowner starts to notice that their residence is becoming cluttered, they need to take action.
Being unable to walk due to piles of items can be both frustrating and dangerous. Instead of getting rid of all of their things, a person can invest in a storage unit. Here are some of the things a person can do to get the most out of the newport storage unit they rent.
Packing Items in an Organized Manner
The biggest mistake that most people make when renting a storage unit is throwing their things into them with zero organization. Not only can this lead to the items getting damaged, it can also make it hard for a person to find the items they need. Instead of just throwing items into the storage unit, a person needs to take the time to pack their possessions in an organized manner.
If a person is using boxes to house their items, properly labeling them is a must. Once these boxes are labeled, it will be much easier for a person to arrange them properly in their storage unit.
Protecting the Items Put Into Storage
Another important factor to consider when using a storage unit is properly protecting the items placed in this place. One of the best things a person can do when trying to reduce damage is invest in quality packing materials and pallets.
The pallets can be used to keep things off of the floor, which can reduce the amount of moisture they are exposed to. Often times, storage unit suppliers will offer quality packing supplies at a reasonable rate.
The only way to find the right storage unit is by taking the time to research each one in an area. When visiting a storage supplier, a person needs to pay attention to things like what they charge and how much space they offer. Once a homeowner has this information, choosing the right storage supplier will be easy.

Synthetic Biology is going to be huge all over the world very soon. No wonder, the promise is incredible. According to Jeurgen Pleiss, possible applications of synthetic biology include:
1. Genetic circuits. The BioBrick project initiated at MIT seeks to assemble a set of standardized DNA parts that encode basic biological functions. The "Registry of Standard Biological Parts" includes genes for transcription factors and enzymes, promoter and enhancer elements, ribosome binding sites, and terminators. This registry describes the sequence of the individual bricks, a quantitative description of their input–output properties, and a concept of how to connect them, the "biowiring". Each element can be considered as a logical circuit, an inverter, or a NAND or a NOR gate. By combining logical gates and by wiring them using orthogonal, highly specific gene products, artificial genetic circuits have been constructed with predetermined behavior. Projects at the international Genetically Engineering Machine (iGEM) competition are examples of genetic circuits.
2. Protein design. The ultimate goal is the complete de novo design of proteins. The methods are based on design tools that evaluate the compatibility of a protein sequence with a given structure. The vision of protein design is a modular approach to the design of new biomaterials with desired properties. Although all protein design efforts use the 20 amino acids as basic parts, de novo design is not limited to naturally occurring amino acids. By using expression platforms with expanded genetic code, single unnatural amino acids can be incorporated by in vivo or in vitro protein biosynthesis. Thus, the synthetic potential is considerably enhanced. However, the primary goal of protein design is not to compete with natural structural diversity. In line with the premises of synthetic biology, it would be desirable to identify a minimal set of robust and versatile scaffolds. In a modular design strategy, these basic parts would then be combined into more complex devices which are then modified to function as enzyme, power generator, signaling device, mechanical motor, or structural protein. The major application would be cheap and effective drugs.
3. Platform technologies. Like synthetic bacteriophages with optimized genome organization. The synthetic gene circuits and the production of designed proteins are implemented into living cells, thus allowing applications in biotransformation and biosensing. The ideal cellular platform should be of minimal complexity. Minimization of genomes is expected to simplify the cellular platform.
4. Engineering of pathways. Signaling pathways are characterized by the modular architecture of the proteins involved in signal transduction. Kinetics and thermodynamics of intermodular recognition are crucial to specificity and information flow. Production of natural products by synthetic gene clusters is considered as a promising application for synthetic biology.

Made a little thief spotlight for those interested. Should give a clear indication of what the profession is all about. I must say I really enjoyed playing a thief, they have some nice unique mechanics though I did feel like they were at the moment less powerful than quite a few other classes. But I am not going to bother with balance issues while this is in beta, so for now I got to say it was a really fun class at the least.
No bulls were harmed in the making of this video.
How does everyone feel about the Shortbow? Damage, Utility etc. I seem to have enjoyed it and i think its good? But i might be seeing it through rose tinted glasses , since its the weapon i was hoping to use with my Thief.
There is common sense and ignorance. Choose one and accept the consequences.
---------- Post added 2012-06-14 at 12:06 AM ----------
Oh, and @Mirve: yea, the Shortbow is very much for AoE damage and some mobility. I use Tripwire to knock opponents down and rain the AoE's down on them before shadowstepping in with an arrow that applies a daze-like condition. Then I switch back to Sword/Pistol and pop the Black Powder, I think it is call that, which applies a smokescreen. It allows me to hack freely with my sword and use Pistol Whip without taking damage. Then I try to use the Shadowstep ability you unlock for skill points to get away, apply tripwire, rinse and repeat. It's my personal mobility build where I switch alot back and forth between Shortbow and Pistol/Dagger.
Personally I found it very much to my liking as it gave me alot of control over the fights, even if I don't stealth as often. I went down that road since my dagger started to become outdated compared to the pistol I picked up and the sword.
There is common sense and ignorance. Choose one and accept the consequences.
Personally, I went with P/P and stuck with it. D/D to me isn't as fun, and with my laggy laptop, dodging was rather difficult. A simple 3,2,3 with a venom applied beforehand was usually enough to hammer down most mobs I came across.
started updating the OP to reflect the new changes
please PM me stuff that should be added... theres a LOT of work to do on it
also if anyone has any pictures of stolen item skill icons please update the wiki. it REALLY REALLY needs the help. all my SS's while i had a stolen weapon dont seem to show the icon

I-O-T : INTERNET Of THINGS / Internet des Objets - Tag - Vinton Cerf The concept of the "Internet Of Things" is federating more and more people every day. This Blog is a sharing space for those interested to participate this major breakthrough. Le concept d'Internet des Objets intéresse désormais bon nombre de nos contemporains. Travaillant sur le sujet depuis la fin des années 90 et auteur d'un livre référence sur le sujet, j'ai créé ce blog pour permettre un échange prospectif qui va au delà des réflexions basées sur les seules technologies sensorielles (RFID, NFC, GPS, etc...) et leur déclinaisons actuelles (M2M, etc.). 2020-03-08T17:27:04+01:00 Philippe Gautier urn:md5:14466 Dotclear Some thoughts on the "Internet of Things" or so-called "Web 3.0" urn:md5:17c2a393095cf289c0e4812104c79bba 2008-04-21T11:12:00+02:00 Philippe GAUTIER Web 3.0 / Internet of Things / Internet des Objets active IDsanalytical approachesbottom-upbutterfly effectchaos theoryCIOcomplexitydecisional or systemic approachesdeterminismEPCGlobalEPCISFacebookFMCGfuzzy logicincertitudeincreasing complexityInternet des ObjetsInternet of ThingsInternet prospectiveM2Mmesh networkspervasive networksPhilippe GAUTIERput a part of fuzzy Logic at the object levelreducing determinismrevolutionRFIDsensor networkstop-downubiquitous networksVinton CerfWeb 2.0WEB 3.0
Abstract :
 ''Recently, Vinton Cerf made an association between the raising concept of the Internet of Things ("I-o-T" is an abstract gathering several others such as "M2M", "sensor, mesh, pervasive or ubiquitous networks", "EPCGlobal standards", etc.) and the appellation "WEB 3.0" (seen in an article : www.lemonde.fr, 5th april 2008).

Recently, Vinton Cerf made an association between the raising concept of the Internet of Things ("I-o-T" is an abstract gathering several others such as "M2M", "sensor, mesh, pervasive or ubiquitous networks", "EPCGlobal standards", etc.) and the appellation "WEB 3.0" (seen in an article : www.lemonde.fr, 5th april 2008).

Instead of seeing it as a new IT marketing stuff, I've tried to sort out what need there would be to use such a word, moreover considering that most people still don't know what Web 2.0 is…..

Actually, this Web 2.0 can be seen as an evolution of the Web (1.0 ?) that strengthen notions of interoperability, collaboration, "mutualisation" of resources (Web services, dynamic pages, etc.). Its features are mainly based on networking (social or professional), syndication, publication (Blogs, Wikis, etc.), space or service sharing (including virtual worlds controlled by humans such as "Second Life").

Taking this definition as an assumption, I've dug in my own experience in implementation and R&D about the ongoing EPCGlobal standards (including RFID) and found some interesting feedback.

First of all, the Internet of Things emphasizes an already quite well known dimension of the Web : complexity.

For those who know a bit about it (old generations of software developers or organization engineers, physicians, mathematicians, etc.), "complexity" is everything but linearity, determinism or process ; all of this generally being included in the "traditional" and analytical top-down approaches that generations of managers, CIOs, quality engineers or consultants (ITIL, ISO, etc.) used to deal with.

The Web 2.0 initiated this phenomenon (increasing complexity, reducing determinism) at a global scale (worldwide network) and we have experienced accordingly a merge of what had been considered in the "old" times  as independent spheres : business, private life, citizenship and consumerism, etc.

In other words, it has started to dissolve the existing frontiers, as well as our former visions or models of organization.

However, managing complexity often needs a part of __fuzzy logic__ or incertitude (e.g.: artificial intelligence) : in the Web 2.0, this is still mainly supported by the "underlying framework" of people (i.e. : human brains) behind each node on the worldwide network - in the Web 2.0, human brains are still the major "component" for dealing with complexity.

In the Internet of Things, objects will be duly identified (in most cases it will be either serialized or unique) and will be capable to act as autonomous media, either directly for those having active IDs with embedded software code, or indirectly throughout the network and application layers.

This could potentially spread, over the existing Internet, new independent actors, capable to react and to influence the whole system (refers to the "butterfly effect", well known since H. Poincaré and further work such as the chaos theory….).

Whilst apprehending such a phenomenon, we could consider that a major evolution behind the Internet of Things would then be to reverse the current paradigm or approach in the design of IT architectures : a "bottom-up" approach would be preferable to a "top-down" one in order to address efficiently subsidiary levels (the closest layers to the physical object and its lifecycle). Pushing forward this approach, the next big stake would be to put a part of fuzzy Logic at the object level itself (or at least in its virtual representation) to give it the ability to fully act as an "independent entity" or actor on the Internet and to give it capabilities of adaptation, reaction, initiative or situated analysis.

The adding of a huge part of fuzzy logic in the global Internet would therefore no longer be provided by human beings (as usual) but by objects (or their virtual representation), Web services, documents, Naming spaces, etc. This would have to be considered as a major breakthrough and a revolution for the Internet.

Calling this "Web 3.0" has therefore a tangible meaning, moreover since this Internet will be able, to some extend and for the first time, to live "independently" from its human conceivers.

To make it real, the big challenge would be now to be able to provide and industrialize adapted solutions, which frameworks could be based on fuzzy logic, decisional or systemic approaches, parallelism capabilities and chaotic models.

As long as we will go on using "process based" or analytical approaches, we won't be able to pass the threshold between the existing Web 2.0 and the upcoming Web 3.0…. and objects won't be able to subscribe by themselves to Facebook to interoperate !....

About Cialis
The weekend pill
Cialis from Lilly pharmaceutical company is sometimes known as The Weekend Pill.
Cialis has been licensed in the UK for over a decade. It was the second erectile dysfunction (ED) prescription medication of its type to receive a UK license, after Viagra (sildenafil). Its prolonged duration of action and the option to take a low dose daily tablet have led to Cialis becoming increasingly popular and being more widely prescribed.
Generic Cialis
The patent for Cialis expired in the UK on 14 November 2017, allowing other drug manufacturers to legally make and sell generic Cialis (marketed as tadalafil). Generic medicines are medically identical to branded originals and are usually much lower cost.
Daily versus Cialis '36 hours'
Most men take Cialis as and when they need it, usually 10mg or 20mg, which is effective for up to 36 hours.
Men who need erectile dysfunction treatment two or more times a week should consider taking a regular low dose Cialis tablet daily. Cialis 2.5mg or 5mg tablets taken every day will provide continuous erectile dysfunction treatment, without peaks and troughs.
What does it do?
Cialis contains tadalafil which is known medically as a PDE5 inhibitor. Tadalafil inhibits the PDE5 enzyme which is involved in regulating blood flow in the penis during erections. Sexual stimulation is required before the medication will work and without it Cialis will have no effect. Cialis augments and supports sexual performance and relationships.
Cialis can also be used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) symptoms.
Why do men get erectile dysfunction?
A range of factors contribute to erectile dysfunction, including lifestyle choices, mental state, chronic disease, and injuries and operations. Emotional problems, such as stress and performance anxiety, can have an impact on both erectile performance and sexual desire. Occasional treatment with a PDE5 inhibitor such as Cialis can be effective in breaking a cycle of anxiety and failure. Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, non-prescription drug use, excessive drinking and even obesity can have an effect. Erectile dysfunction is sometimes a symptom of underlying health problems such as diabetes, atherosclerosis and heart disease, amongst others.
Men suffering from erectile dysfunction should inform their GP who will undertake an assessment, possibly perform tests, and provide advice.
Why Cialis?
Cialis benefits from having a long duration of action. Viagra remains active for about 4 hours, Levitra for 4-5 hours and Cialis for 36 hours – hence its familiar name 'The Weekend Pill'. Erections will not be continuous during 36 hours after taking Cialis, occurring only at times of arousal during those 36 hours.
Alternative treatment
Viagra, Sildenafil, Levitra, and Spedra are alternative tablet treatments for erectile dysfunction and are also available to buy in various strengths and pack sizes after completing the same medical consultation.
Taking Cialis for the first time
There are four strengths of Cialis – 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. The lower doses of 2.5mg and 5mg are primarily for regular daily use, although Cialis 5mg strength can be taken on an as required basis by men who respond well to one-off lower doses.
The usual starting dose is 10mg taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. If this dose is highly effective, subsequent doses could be reduced to 5mg on a trial basis. If repeated trials of a 10mg dose prove ineffective, the dose can be increased to 20mg.
There is no benefit in taking a higher dose than is needed. Repeated trials of treatment at one dose are recommended before changing to higher or lower strength tablets.
Cialis dosage
Daily Cialis
2.5mg or 5mg daily tablet for continuous erectile dysfunction treatment.
Cialis 10mg
Recommended starting dose for most men taking Cialis for first time.
Cialis 20mg
High strength dose as required for when 10mg is insufficient.
Does it work every time?
Response to treatment is usually predictable and consistent. On most occasions, if Cialis has worked before, it will work again.
Some causes of erectile dysfunction, such as physical injuries or nerve damage, are more resistant to tablet treatments and may require other therapies, such as injections or penile implants.
Erectile dysfunction may require specialist treatment apart from tablets. Some men, whose erectile dysfunction has psychological causes, may benefit from counselling.
All men who are troubled by erectile dysfunction, which can be a distressing problem, should consult a doctor for a full assessment and advice.
Side effects of Cialis
Most men taking Cialis do not experience significant side effects. A full list of the most frequent side effects can be found in the manufacturer's patient information leaflet supplied with Cialis tablets (links below).
Some men experience a bluish or yellowish tinge to their vision after taking Cialis. This is not dangerous and fades after a few hours time. This is a possible side effect of all ED drugs (PDE5 inhibitors).
Other common side effects (affecting 1%-10%) include headache, back pain, muscle aches, pain in the arms or legs, nasal congestion, facial flushing, and indigestion.
On very rare occasions ED treatment produces prolonged and painful erections, in a condition known as priapism. Priapism is a medical emergency with the potential on rare occasions for irreversible injury to the penis. If an erection lasts for more than 4 hours, medical attention should be sought immediately.
During an assessment on the Dr Fox web site, men are required to complete an erectile dysfunction questionnaire. This determines if Cialis is suitable. Men should not take Cialis without further assessment from their GP if any of the following apply:.

Been doing a little recording over the last month and have been playing around with blending DI and miced cab signals. I've tried it before, but never really got it to sound great. I found this which really helped and thought it was worth sharing. Interestingly, his use of EQ is very subtle - it is more about which part of DI and which part of the Cab signals he uses, and how he uses compression.

Currently Chinese TV viewers (myself included) have very limited options when it comes to what to watch. The government run China Central Television (CCTV) currently offers 22 channels of mindless drivel, revisionist historical dramas. The other twenty-odd provincial Satellite channels only offer mildly entertaining reality TV shows. But with the new guidelines that leaked out last Friday, Chinese TV is about to get a lot worse.
Last Friday, the Chinese State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (SARFT) came out with six new guidelines for what can be broadcasted on air in China. These six new guidelines, which go into effect in a few days, stipulates the following: broadcast television shows cannot be remakes of foreign shows or based on online games, historical dramas should not be dramatized, dramas should have a clear distinction between good and evil, business themed dramas should promote good business morals and practices, shows that are set in a modern setting should show conservative morals, and online novels are now "not encouraged".
Whats particularly interesting this time around is the sudden emphasis against adaptations of video games. As it stands right now the only television show on air in China that has anything to do with video games (Red Games excluded) is the martial arts fantasy Rift In The Sky (轩辕剑之天之痕). Rift, based on the popular Chinese MMO series Sword of the Yellow Emperor, is currently going through its first season and as it stands right now the show may soon be pulled off the air. This doesn't bode well for any other MMO adaptations that may or may not be in the works.
As any expat who lives in China and watches TV without a satellite dish (or stolen cable) will tell you, most of what is on Chinese TV is split into six categories:
- Historical dramas set during the Chinese revolution e.g. WWII and the Sino-Japanese wars
- Martial Arts fantasy stories often based on novels written by Louis Cha aka Jin Yong
- Historical dramas set in ancient China e.g. The warring states, early Dynasties such as the Song Dynasty
- Reality dating shows
- Remade Korean/Taiwanese/HK dramas
- Poorly dubbed Korean/HK dramas
Looking at the above list, its clear that shows based on MMOs aren't very common.
This isn't the first time that SARFT has come out with ratings killing guidelines. Last year they placed a ban on broadcast shows involving time travel and talking animals. While SARFT currently has no real control over what goes on online, let alone video games the Administration is currently coming out with new regulations and guidelines that stretches its power. For now lets just be glad that SARFT doesn't have any control over online video games in China, yet.

Uncollectable bill is often inevitable. You might go damaged as a result of a sudden disease, a separation, losing your task or put simply, rotten luck. Being in a negative monetary scenario is not a permanent scenario. You can always obtain a brand-new high-paying work, have a side company for additional revenue or just get back on the right track with your finances.Getting a loan is not that easy if you have a bad debt background. To be qualified for mortgage loans as well as money lending institutions, finances and banks will certainly need you to have a great credit report. The much better your credit rating is, the higher the amount of funding you can potentially get. Much better interest rates are additionally offered to clients with good credit report. They are thought about as low-risk clients.Bad Credit LoansFortunately, securing a mortgage loan or money car loan is still possible even with poor credit. These are called uncollectable bill car loans. Secured home mortgage are protected fundings with your building as your collateral while a poor debt vehicle loan is a type of financial funding with your lorry as your collateral for the loan.Secured home loans and funds are offered by specialist lending institutions that are willing to see past the blemishes in your credit scores data..

First offered in the 1980s by only two carriers, today cellular phones are offered by dozens of carriers. According to industry reports, more than one half of all Americans own a cellular phone.
Who can help me when I have a dispute with
my cellular phone provider?
In response to a growing concern among state and federal regulators among others, the cellular telephone industry introduced its Wireless Code of Conduct, a voluntary consumer code. If you have a dispute with your cellular phone provider, read the Wireless Code of Conduct to find out the generally accepted polices. Then contact your cellular provider. If your cellular provider does not resolve the matter to your satisfaction, you can contact the Public Utilities Commission or you can file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission. While the Commission does not regulate cellular telephones, our Consumer Affairs Division is available to assist you with complaints about your cellular service.
What is the difference between analog and digital?
There are essentially two types of coverage: analog and digital. Calls made on digital networks are clearer, more secure, and more feature-rich than calls made on analog networks. Because analog technology has been in use since the 1980's, virtually every part of the country where people live has analog coverage. Carriers have deployed digital technology more recently and, therefore, digital service plans and coverage tend to be available in the more populated and highly-traveled areas of the country. The FCC estimates approximately 97% of the U.S. population lives in counties that have some digital coverage. However, significant portions of the country's land area do not have access to digital service. Carriers are constantly upgrading their networks to expand the areas where they can offer digital cellular telephone service.
Why do I experience dropped calls, dead spots
and busy signals?
Even where a carrier offers coverage in a specific geographic area, you may not be able to complete a given call due to limitations in network architecture or capacity. When a carrier fails to hand off a call in progress, as you travel from one part of the carrier's network to another, a "dropped call" results. When many customers use a carrier's network at the same time, its capacity becomes constrained. Other customers trying to connect will hear a busy signal instead of being able complete their calls. Topography can also affect coverage, causing "dead spots". A dead spot is an area where service is not available because the signal between the handset and the cell tower is blocked, usually by hilly terrain, excessive foliage, or tall buildings. Carriers are constantly improving and upgrading their networks in order to minimize these types of problems.
Can I get help paying for my cell phone service?
There are Federal programs that can assist consumers with paying the bills for their cell phone service. Lifeline is a federal program that helps qualified individuals pay for wireless or home telephone service. Most telephone companies lower the cell phone bill each month. Some companies provide free wireless minutes each month or may offer a free cell phone with limited minutes. A number of wireless providers participate in this Federally funded program. You would need to contact that particular wireless provider for more information. Here are three that you may wish to contact:
More information about cellular phone service is available from the Federal Communications Commission. There are also a number of consumer information web sites available that provide consumer information on cellular phone service including side-by-side comparisons of the service plans available in a given area, general advice on purchasing a mobile phone, educational information on wireless technology, user ratings of phones and pricing plans, listings of dead spots by location and carrier, and answers to commonly asked questions.
Consumer Reports (www.consumerreports.org) provides free consumer information on its web site, including details on various mobile service plans available in major U.S. markets and their accompanying phones.
J. D. Power (www.jdpower.com/telecom/) provides ratings on its web site of all the wireless carriers in major U.S. cities. The carriers are rated on various criteria, including call quality, cost, and customer service.
CTIA (www.wow-com.com) is a trade association representing the wireless industry. Its web site contains tips for consumers on purchasing mobile service as well as an overview of all mobile phones that have hands-free accessories.
AARP, the American Association of Retired Persons (www.aarp.org) provides on its web site, a published survey entitled "Understanding Consumer Use of Wireless Phone Service" that discusses various issues related to wireless service and older consumers.
The sources listed on this page represent a sample

By Marlena De Lacroix a.k.a Connie Passalacqua Hayman
Days of Our Lives: "What's that you're watching, Marlena? That old movie Earthquake (1974)?" My husband Moose was looking at the TV screen where battered and bloodied people were climbing out of the wreckage of a ballroom that had experienced a terrific explosion.
"No, it's not quite as cheese-tastic," I answered. "It's Days of Our Lives." Actually, I thought Days this week did an entertainingly good job of digging itself out of the wreckage of the stunt explosion that had occurred just prior to its two-week Olympic hiatus. The characters reacted so pseudo-realistically! Madison was found dead, a cut on her head (!) and a pregnant Nicole moaned and groaned, being pinned under some wreckage. Abby broke down and cried like the real little girl she is when father Jack died after saving her from a 27-floor elevator plunge, and I almost shed a tear for him, as no one over the years could ever be immune to Matthew Ashford's great charm as the character.But nothing could touch the cheese-tastic (and you know Marlena, I say that very lovingly) baddie Ian declaring his love to the corpse of Madison. How I will always love Ian Buchanan, even in this thankless, one-note role! The accent! That face! That very strong and powerful, larger than life quality he shows when sputtering sheer evil! Later he and Lauren Koslow chewed up the scenery until it fell down soap style in a long fight scene where Kate accused the newly aggrieved Ian of breaking up her marriage through their affair. In the scene's/episode's cliffhanger, Ian melodramatically blurted out: "I killed Stefano!" Speaking of divine cheese, next week Stefano is back from the dead for the umpteenth time. Oh how truly great Joe Mascolo has been in the role for decades! [Read more…]

Sorry if this question is dumb, and I know is physics 101, but I'm not that good with physics.
I'm writing an iPhone program that by collecting the acceleration data of the device tries to replicate the motion of the device in an virtual environment.
To simplify things, let's consider just one axis.
If the device is at position 0 with acceleration 0 and speed 0, if it receives an acceleration of 1.25G, what it will be it's position after 1.22 seconds, considering that the acceleration will last for the whole 1.22 seconds?

Alaska Serial Killer Buried Murder Supplies Across the Country
Israel Keyes admitted to burying money and weapons throughout the country.
Dec. 4, 2012 -- Israel Keyes, the Alaskan man who confessed to seven murders before killing himself in a jail cell, told police that he traveled the country to find victims and buried caches of weapons, money and tools for disposing of bodies to use in future crimes.
The FBI also released an ominous list of 35 trips Keyes made around the U.S., Mexico and Canada over the last eight years.
Keyes, 34, the owner of an Anchorage construction company, was in jail charged with the February murder of Samantha Koenig, 18. While in jail he had been confessing to at least seven other killings in Washington, New York and Vermont. He was found dead in his Alaska jail cell on Sunday in an apparent suicide.
Investigators are now piecing together a deadly puzzle that is uncovering a macabre lifestyle of Keyes traveling to kill simply because he "liked to do it," prosecutors said.
"In a series of interviews with law enforcement, Keyes described significant planning and preparation for his murders, reflecting a meticulous and organized approach to the crimes," the Anchorage FBI office said in a statement.
The FBI has released a timeline of Keyes' travels that showed nearly three dozen trips between 2004 and 2012. The destinations of the trips are vague, described only by U.S. region in most cases, but span the entire country, including Hawaii. There are also trips to Canada and Mexico listed.
"Keyes also admitted traveling to various locations to leave supplies he planned to use in a future crime. Keyes buried caches throughout the United States," the FBI said.
Authorities have already recovered two caches, one in Alaska and one in New York, that contained money, weapons and items for disposing of bodies. Keyes indicated that there were other supply boxes buried across the country.
He funded his travel with the proceeds from bank robberies, authorities said.
"Investigators believe that Keyes did not know any of his victims prior to their abductions," the FBI said. "He described several remote locations that he frequented to look for victims--parks, campgrounds, trailheads, cemeteries, boating areas, etc."
Keyes told authorities that his victims received little if any media attention when they disappeared. Authorities said that "based on his own research," Keyes said that one of his victims had been recovered, but the death was ruled accidental. Investigators said they have not identified the victim or location of that alleged crime.
Before his death, Keyes indicated that, in addition to Koenig and a Vermont couple, he killed four people in Washington State and one person in New York, but did not give the victims' names, authorities said.
"It was not unusual for Keyes to fly into an airport, rent a car, and drive hundreds of miles to his final destination," the FBI said.
That is precisely what Keyes did in the murder of Bill and Lorraine Currier in Essex, Vt., last year. He flew from Alaska to Chicago in June 2011. He rented a car in Chicago and drove to Vermont where he spent three days looking for his next victims and planning the slaying.
"When [Keyes] left Alaska, he left with the specific purpose of kidnapping and murdering someone," Chittenden County State Attorney T. J. Donovan said at the press conference. "He was specifically looking for a house that had an attached garage, no car in the driveway, no children, no dog."
The Curriers, unfortunately, fit all of Keyes' criteria. He spent three days in Vermont before striking. He even took out a three-day fishing license and fished before the slayings.
Keyes abducted the couple from their home and murdered them in an abandoned barn he had located before breaking into the Curriers' home. After binding the couple with plastic cuffs, the beat the husband with a shovel and then shot him. The wife was raped and strangled.
"By all accounts, [the Curriers] were friendly, peaceful, good people who encountered a force of pure evil acting at random," an investigator said at today's news conference. Authorities called the ongoing investigation a "huge case, national in scope."
Serial Killer Buried Murder Kits Around the Country
One of the most chilling aspects of Keyes' operation is the lack of any motive other than pleasure.
"He provided some motivation, but I don't think it's really [possible] to pigeonhole why he did this," Tristram Coffin, U.S. Attorney in Vermont, said at a news conference today. "He described to investigators that this was a volitional act of his. He wasn't compelled by some uncontrollable force, but it was something that he could control and he liked to do it. Why someone likes to act like that, nobody knows."
Keyes had been facing a March trial in Anchorage federal court--and possibly the death penalty--for the killing of Koenig.
Samantha Koenig was last seen Feb. 1 on surveillance video that showed her leaving the Common Grounds Espresso stand in Anchorage with an armed man. All of the coffee stand's cash was also missing.
Keyes was arrested in Lufkin, Texas, March 16 after he used Koenig's debit card. The FBI contends Keyes killed Koenig less than a day after she was kidnapped. Her body was recovered April 2 from an ice-covered lake north of Anchorage.
Police and the FBI spent hours talking to Keyes in the months after his arrest and he was cooperating, talking to investigators as recently as Thursday.
Authorities wouldn't say how Keyes killed himself, only that he was alone in his cell. An autopsy will be conducted.
Keyes owned a construction company in Anchorage. According to the website for Keyes Construction at the time of his arrest, Keyes worked in Washington State in the mid-1990s and then served three years in the Army infantry, stationed in Fort Lewis, Fort Hood, and Sinai, Egypt. According to the site, he then worked from 2001 to 2007 for the Makah Tribal Council in Neah Bay, Wash., before moving to Alaska.
The FBI is asking for the public's assistance with any information about Keyes' travels in order to identify additional victims. They ask that anyone with information contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Standing around the boatyard the other day with a bunch of saddened sailors who can only dream of late Spring and once again being on the water with our boats, I happen to notice that 3 out of 4 (I'm the 4th) sailors had in hand the new IPhone 4, and at one point or another, using this new toy for various reasons. Suddenly, two of the sailors bumped phones – I mean they actually touched their phones together.
What is that all about? Of course I needed to ask what I was missing … They softened my ignorance by telling me about "cloud technology," and various other innovations that seem to come so readily to these tech-savvy sailors (I don't even use electronic GPS/compass on my sailboat). Seems that in today's world (and if you have Apple technology at hand) you can take a picture on your IPhone 4 and it will automatically send that photo to your other Apple based devices, for example your MacBook Pro computer!
The bumping and sharing data seemed to be focused on sharing music, but I'm sure it was more complicated than that. This all lead me to think about the progress in home health monitoring systems – and thus today's Weekly Message (please be aware that I am far from a "techie" and as such the following information will only scratch the surface of what is now happening in this fascinating world).
We all know that telehealth has been developing in the last decade, with home monitoring being a primary focus. This is where a patient, whether recently discharged from a hospital or not, has his home connected, via special monitors, etc., so that doctors and other health professionals can monitor vital signs, as well as get some idea of the patient's physical appearance.
Enter Independa, a company offering technology-enabled independent-living solutions (usually at more cost effective levels). They will be rolling out (sometime in early 2012) their "cloud-based" home health monitoring system. Of course, this system will allow for the recording of biometric information; such as "weight, blood pressure, glucose level, temperature, pulse, heart rate – using the basic and universally available phone."
Even if you didn't miss the important part here, it is worth repeating -- this will all be processed via a normal, everyday, ordinary telephone. For tech savvy folks out there, this may seem like no big deal at all, but for me, I was blown away. It means that those requiring some form of monitoring their medical needs can have that done over their everyday phone, with no special cell phone service necessary or special monitors in the house, etc. This opens up nearly the entire country to this type of home health based monitoring, and possibly without the level of home visits currently performed by home health agencies (e.g., Visiting Nurses Association).
The information you transmit over the regular landline phone is "converted into digital form and delivered to Independa's cloud-based telecare solution, CloudCare." This obviously will offer medical professionals much more up-to-the-minute information on a patient's status; thus helping to prevent the often urgent return of that patient to the hospital within the first three days after discharge.
Of course, this does not replace the need for home-based monitors, actual personal home health visits, etc., but it does allow for nearly instantaneous connection to the patient's health care providers. Such a connection is vital in providing the care essential in monitoring of a patient during the transition from hospital to home.
I'm happy to see technology doing more for us than merely an hourly Angry Bird distraction. It is pretty amazing if you think about it, especially when our brains turn to how it can help with patient care. Believe it or not, I may even consider using a GPS on my boat this season – or maybe not.
