Renal failure is a medical condition where the normal functionality of the kidneys are lost suddenly. In this condition, the kidneys are incapable of removing waste and concentrating urine thereby leading to the loss of electrolytes from the body. This leads to accumulation of toxins and waste products in the blood. Glomerular filtration rate decreases when the kidneys fail.
There are three forms of renal failure namely acute renal failure, chronic renal failure, and acute-on-chronic renal failure.
Acute renal failure occurs where there is a sudden interruption to the blood flow thereby leading to rapid loss of kidney function. The most common causes of acute renal failure are trauma, complications from surgery such as heart bypass surgery, injuries, drug overdoses, accidental overload such as the onset of crush syndrome, chemical overload of antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents, bladder tumor, renal calculi, acute glomerulonephritis, acute tubular injury, enlarged prostate, fluid depletion, sun stroke, cardiac failure, septic infections, and hemorrhage.

Big Meadow RV Park in Townsend, TN, Regarding a recent review |
Big Meadow RV Park in Townsend, TN, Regarding a recent review |

I read the recent review for Big Meadow and it seems the author had an unfortunate time with the owner regarding their dogs. From what I remember, it was the only place they could find on short notice.
In the future, I'd like to recommend Tremont Hills, also in Townsend. We stayed there last May and had a great time. My review is probably the most recent one. I never stayed at Big Meadow but we did drive thru just to compare other campgrounds in the area. It is a big meadow with not much shade and all pull thru sites. Seems to cater to the 40 foot plus RV's where people stay inside with the air conditioner running. To each his own, but what I am getting at is that since you had a pop-up there might have been some unfair bias against you. Tremont would be a tight fit for some monster rigs and the non full hook-up section had quite a few vacancies when we were there so you wouldn't bother anyone. On a side note, we've left our dog in our travel trailer before. I know this is common and it is rarely a problem if you leave food, water, and heat or air running. Just the same, when we plan to stay at a private campground we always ask if that is okay before amking a reservation. Hope your next trip is better. Christopher |

We're staying at Big Meadow right now for six nights, and we think the campground has the best facilities for our 40-foot motor home. On a previous visit to the Townsend, TN, area, we toured several campgrounds and picked Tremont Hills as the most attractive. Last fall we stayed there. We did not have 50 amp service, and it was difficult to maneuver our big rig into its space. It was extremely difficult to get it through the narrow front gate on the highway. Big Meadow is more easily accessible and has premium pull through sites with concrete pads and patios, 50 amp service, WI-FI, and many cable channels. The owners are friendly and helpful -- which we did not find at Tremont Hills. Big Meadow's rules are clear and are based on common sense and courtesy.
If you read the other comments on Big Meadow, you will find that most people feel it is an excellent campground. Sometimes people with pets do not understand that other campers do not enjoy their pets as much as they do. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats and choose to leave them at home with a pet sitter. Most of our camping experiences with other people's pets have been fine, but sometimes pet owners are very inconsiderate. Leaving 3 dogs -- including a full grown Great Dane -- alone in a pop up (or any other RV, for that matter) is not being considerate of the dogs, much less the other campers. |

Feburary 5th 2012
Justin and I went for a flight around the Wheaton Valley and White Pass areas today get a better idea of the scale of the natural avalanche cycle that happened last Friday.
In the Wheaton Valley area we saw numerous natural slab avalanche size 2-2.5 which we suspect had released in the storm snow on unsupported ridge top wind loaded features on North aspects and cross loaded mid slope features on East and west aspects. The crowns and debris from these avalanche were easy to see suggesting the ran towards the end of the storm cycle. typically ran almost full path (up to roughly 400 vertical m) and were confined to their historical track where there it looked like they entrained a significant amount of snow as they ran. We also saw evidence of a couple of avalanches which had released in lower angle slopes near ridge top triggered by cornice failure. In one notable instance above Hodenet Lake between the Wheaton and Whatson drainages a an slab had propagated about 100m along the ridge line crossing several distance breaks in the terrain. Upon closer inspection I'm suspect cornice failure triggered a step down avalanche, likely on the underlying wind windslab on facets from earlier in the month. This hard lab has the stiffness to propagate failure over larger distances. From what we saw I think this was an annomoly but is a good reminder that in the right spot failures on deeper instabilities in the snow pack can still be triggered.
A significant avalanche cycle occurred in white In the White Pass on similar features although it was not as widespread as in the Wheaton. I suspect this was due to more supportive nature of the terrain at the pass (larger more uniform slopes with fewer likely trigger spots). Given the amount of snow hiding the debris I think the cycle likely happened earlier in the storm. That said I would still be treading cautiously around any unsupported wind loaded slopes. Deep and difficult trail breaking and shooting cracks are signs of instability to look out for.
Feburary 8th 2012.
Justin and I spent the day in the Fraser / Byrant Lake area today trying to get a handle on what was going on in the snowpack after last weeks avalanche cycle. Here's what we found.
The snow pack:
In sheltered areas at treelike the snow pack is roughly 160cm deep. The 50cm of snow that fell in the storm has settled into a 30cm thick soft slab. This is sitting on a slightly less dense layer above the wind crust from the cold snap in January. Bellow this the mid pack continues to gain strength. At the bottom of the pack: the mid December facet/crust combo sits on top of large week facets. In snow pack tests we found two weakness in the storm snow. One interface within the storm snow popped under moderate load (from the elbow). The interface below the storm snow popped under a hard load (from the shoulder). Given the softness of the slab we didn't investigate any further. Interestingly we couldn't find the rain crust I was anticipating at our weather plot (850m) where the temperature reached +2C during the storm.
On our flight earlier in the week we saw that most of the recent avalanche activity occurred on steep unsuported north aspects above treeline so we wanted to cheep up on how this previous instability was developing. We dug on a wind loaded north aspect just above treelike with a large fetch where we found a 70cm thick hard wind slab. In a compression test this slab popped under moderate loads but was un-reactive in an extended column test. I suspect this was due to the fact that the slab was hard enough that the larger column was supporting itself in the ECT. That said the moderate compression test result showes that the interface bellow this slab could potentially avalanche if triggered from the right spot (shallow / week areas)
Travel concerns:
Gaining confidence we decided to take advantage of the high cloud ceiling and get into the alpine. We climbed a north aspect taking care to avoid larger convexities and unsupported slopes and also space out appropriately when traveling through areas that looked as if the snow pack was thinner (around rocks and at the base of cliffs). We found the supportive slab made for easy and fast travel on the way in and up and "buff" skiing on the decent.
Winds were moderate to strong from the north and we observed moderate snow transport through out the day indicating a pattern of reverse loading. I suspect that a soft slab is developing on south aspects right now.
Feburary 9th 2012
Today Justin and I skied a traverse around Feather Peak with a short detour to the Cleveland ski summit. It gave us a good opportunity to travel on a variety of aspects through all the elevation bands and see a lot of terrain.
The only notable avalanche observation was a recent size 2 slab avalanche mid slope on the North face of Cleveland proper triggered by collapsing serac.
Like yesterday the wide spread supportive wind crust made for easy and fast travel. Winds were consistently moderate gusting to strong from the north throughout the day. We stuck to bigger features to avoid thin spot triggers on any of the normal wind loaded aspects. Our concerns from yesterday about reverse loading on southern aspects was confirmed. Climbing the south facing slopes back onto Feather after skiing the west glacier of Cleveland we found isolated pockets of a 30cm deep soft slab just below ridge line. Although we didn't see any of the classic signs of instability such as shooting cracks the slab was easy to detect. We were conscious of terrain traps and adjusted our route or spacing accordingly whenever we felt the trail breaking get tougher.
All in all a great day out in the mountains.
Feburary 10, 2012
Today we were in Powder Valley which we have found often remains relatively sheltered from the North winds like we have had all week.
We found the storm snow here to have settled in to wide spread soft slab, with isolated pockets of wind slab in alpine.
We dug a pit at tree line and found a similar instability in the storm snow to that which we found at Fraser earlier in the week. Again this interface popped under easy loads. The mid pack was starting to become less faceted and surgery. The most interesting observation was a failure in the facets above our December 5th rain crust now down al little over a meter. This deep instability dropped under a moderate load (tapping from the elbow) in a compression test. It was too deep to get a good result on with the extended column test but a propagation saw test indicated that this layer wants to propagate a failure when initiated (see the video on our Youtube channel - yaacactech).
Although in the past we have found this layer to be less widespread in Powder Valley that it is around the White Pass, our result today showed that where it does exists this persistent week layer isn't quite asleep yet and presents a classic low probability high consequence avalanche problem. We managed the hazard by "skiing the fat" avoiding thin spots in the snow pack where triggering a deep slab is more likely.
Temperatures were warm throughout the day, we saw one fresh sz 1 slab avalanche on a SE cross loaded feature along the highway corridor at treelike. It had been triggered by loose snow coming out of the rocks above. Winds at ridge top looked to be moderate from the South West with light snow transport.
February 17th, 2012
Eirik and I spent the day flying the forecast region, trying to get some snowpack data from harder to reach places. Poor visibility and weather didn't allow us to get everywhere planned in the White pass region, but we were able to see quite a bit.
White Pass (deep snow region)
Snowpack observations from East side of the highway in the big blue area. North Facing, 1500m elevation in the alpine. Height of snow was 255cms and seemed to be representative of similar slopes in that area. 20cms of storm snow overlied a well consolidated, supportive mid-pack composing of rounds. Probing did not reveal the Dec 5th crust at this elevation band. Compression results revealed E to Moderate results within the storm snow.
Observed a Small Natural solar cycle, on South-South East aspects, size 1-1.5 loose and soft storm slab. Suspect this activity ran on Wed PM/Thurs AM.
Powder Valley / Transitional snow region
Observed several Natural soft slab avalanches size 1-2 in the recent storm snow from steep, North to East facing terrain. The crowns ranged from 10-20cms.
*of special note, we observed numerous cornices failures in the region, likely failing during the warm temperatures and mod/strong southerly winds on wed PM/Thurs AM.*- Cornices will continue to be fragile if warm temperatures persist into the weekend, best to give them a wide 'birth' when travelling on ridge top or on slopes below them.
Wheaton Valley / Shallow Snow Region
A widespread (1F-P) hard slab/crust is supportive in the alpine. The mid-pack is made up of facets that are gaining strength (1F-P) and weaker facets can be found to ground. Typical snow distribution is scoured southerly aspects and anywhere from 80-110cms on lee aspects. Compression tests produced Moderate "pops" down 25 below a older wind slab on facets and Moderate results on the basal facets, down 85cms in this location.
Natural activity was less than regions to the south, but a few size 1-1.5 natural avalanches were observed on steep lee features.
Just a few photos of the widespread, large Surface Hoar in Powder Valley.
widespread in sheltered areas at treeline
But also large and widespread in alpine on ridgetop/summits (this photo taken at 1800m)
February 29, 2012
Just a quick note on our snowpack observations today. Observations from Fraser Weather Study Plot, 900m, sheltered location.
15cms of low density storm snow sits over a very small layer (quite broken and hard to recognize) layer of Surface Hoar, down 18cms. Likely this is the layer buried on February 21. This layer produced consistent Moderate "pop" results to compression tests. We have noticed significant stregthening of the mid-pack throughout February with relatively mild temperatures. The Dec 5th crust is still present (down 115cms) with facets above and below to ground.
We will continue to watch the Feb 21 Surface Hoar layer and subsequently other SH layers buried that are currently on the surface.
March 1st 2012.
Today we were in the Fraser Lakes area. Some good skiing to be had on the north faces where we found the old windslab to be bonding well to the mid pack.
Our major concern for the day was the Febuary 21st persistent week layer. This is showing up as a layer of surface hoar in sheltered and shaded features bellow TL and as a sun crust with overlying facets on steep south aspects. The recent north winds have loaded these south aspects with a hard wind slab on top the crust now down 40cm which we felt was primed for human triggering. We saw one example of a recently snowmobile triggered size 1 avalanche at TL and we suspect similar conditions exist on the bigger features in the alpine.
Given this concern our travel strategy today was to avoid bigger steep wind unsupported south facing slopes and to remain aware of terrain traps on smaller south facing features. Remember hard slabs are notoriously hard to predict and are often triggered from bellow where they are often thinner and less supported.
Check out out latest video on our youtube channel- Eirik
March 2nd, 2012
We traveled in the Transitional snow region today, Powder Valley and Paddy Pass. Yesterday's concern was the Feb 21 Crust and Facet combo on South Aspects in the White Pass region, where as today our primary concern was the Feb 21 surface hoar layer on North and East aspects. Our goal was to determine the load overtop of this SH layer.
We dug in an alpine, wind loaded location at 1500m, North Aspect. The pit revealed 20cms of storm snow on top of 50cms of old hard wind slab (1F-P). This hard slab sits over top of the Feb 21 surface hoar layer, down 65 cms in this location (shallower at Treeline elevations) . The surface hoar also sat on top of 5cms of facets and then hard mid pack of rounds below. This interface produced moderate and "drop" results to both compression tests and Extended Column Test, showing that propogation is likely.
The same message yesterday applies again today, were dealing with a persistent slab avalanche problem. Hard slabs are difficult to predict and surface hoar is renowned for remote triggering (meaning triggering the avalanche away from the actual start zone, could be from below or adjacent). DIscipline is the answer, avoiding large North and East facing slopes in this region.
Check out our latest youtube video regarding this problem.
March 3, 2012
Spent the day on the east side of white pass Found similar conditions to what we found on the west side earlier in the week. Deep snow and great boondocking in the meadows, more wind effected snow in the alpine. Eirik

Going back to work after maternity leave
Quick tips on making the transition easier
by Work It, Mom! Team | 10611 views | 2 comments | Rate this now!
Being a new mom is hard. Being a new working mom is even harder. On top of the anxiety you feel as a new parent, you're also dealing with responsibilities at the office, trying to get back on your feet after being away for an extended period of time, missing your baby, and -- of course -- working mom guilt. We asked, "What did you do that helped you make the transition back from maternity leave back to work a bit more managable?" Here are a few top tips from your fellow working mothers:
1.) Come back on a Thursday. A two-day week is easier to deal with than a full five-day week.
2.) Visit your baby on your lunch hour. If your childcare provider is not near by, use your lunch time to do exercise, organize, or plan, so that you have more free time to be with your baby once you get home.
3.) Phase work back in to your life. See if your employer will allow you to work part-time for a few weeks before you return to work full-time. (The Family and Medical Leave Act allows for it, but the final decision is up to your company.)
4.) Give yourself permission to feel conflicted/elated/guilty/happy/angry/tired. Your emotions are normal, and it's OK.
5.) Set your schedule -- and stick to it. If the hours your boss wants you to work make it difficult for you to juggle career and parenthood, talk about it and try to set hours that work for you. If possible, avoid setting a bad precedent; if you work late "just this once," you might end up working late every week.
6.) If you're continuing to breastfeed, pump regularly and often to keep your milk supply up.
7.) If you're not pumping, give yourself breaks throughout the day anyway. It will help keep your energy levels up and your mind clear.
8.) See if your boss will allow you to work from home one or more days per week.
9.) Get your support network ready. Know who you can call if you need to vent, and try to network with other women who have been through what you're going through (there are plenty of us here at Work It, Mom!)
10.) Take your time. Transitions aren't instantaneous; it may take you a couple of months -- or more -- to feel like you're really back in the swing of things.

I had to got back to work after 6 weeks. I would have preferred to stay home for longer but I work for a small firm. Though that was not a benefit, in this economy I have job security because the firm is small and I am the top producer. I also will be able to attend events that take place during the day as she gets older. My husband stayed home with our little girl and he just went back to work. The guilt has set in and is overwhelming me. I had always planned to be a working mom. I have been successful and bring home a large income. My mother who was a nurse and then her second career after raising 6 children is in early education. My daughter started at the nursery she is a supervisor at. I still feel horribly guilty for leaving her and not being a stay at home mom. We determined that I could stay home but since we planned for me to work we would have to drastically change our lifestyle and what we could offer her. I also do like to work so now the guilt has doubled because that has been put on the table. All my friends and sisters are stay at home moms and beg me to stay home. They feel that I should not be concerned that our lifestyle will drastically change and that all I need to offer my little girl is to be home with her. That the extras we can provide for her can't compare to me being at home.

Ergonomics is a discipline that involves arranging the environment to fit the person in it. Ergonomics, also called human factors or human engineering, is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system.When ergonomics is applied correctly in the work environment, visual and musculoskeletal discomfort and fatigue are reduced significantly.
As a profession, ergonomics applies theory, principles, data, and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.
Italian Bernardino Ramazinni (1633-1714) became the first physician to write about work-related injuries and illnesses in his 1700 publication,
De Morbis Artificum (Diseases of Workers)
. Ramazinni was ostracized by his fellow doctors for visiting the workplaces of his patients in order to identify the causes of their disorders. The term ergonomics has its origin in the Greek words
(work) and
(natural laws) first entered the modern dictionary when Wojciech Jastrzebowski used the word in his 1857 article.
Ergonomists have attempted to define postures, which minimize unnecessary static work and reduce the forces acting on the body. Therefore, adherence to the ergonomic principles may significantly reduce the risk of injury due to repetitive movements. There are many computer-related "ergonomic" products, the most common ones being: "ergonomic" keyboards, "ergonomic" mice, wrist rests, support braces/gloves, and forearm supports/resting forearms on chair arms.
One of the primary goals of ergonomics is prevention of workplace illness and accidents. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 60% of the workplace illnesses reported each year are associated with repetitive stress injuries (RSI). These injuries result from continuous repetition of the same motions, for instance screwing or twisting items on an assembly line. The injury may be exacerbated by awkward postures, such as bending or reaching too often.
Repetitive stress injuries include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and Blackberry thumb. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently recommends the integration of ergonomics in the workplace in order to reduce the prevalence of repetitive stress injuries.
Theory / Evidence
Ergonomists view people and the objects they use as one unit, and ergonomic design blends the best abilities of people and machines. Humans are not as strong as machines, nor can they calculate as quickly and accurately as computers. Unlike machines, humans need to sleep, and they are subject to illness, accidents, or making mistakes when working without adequate rest. Nevertheless, machines are also limited - cars cannot repair themselves, computers do not speak or hear as well as people do, and machines cannot adapt to unexpected situations as well as humans. An ergonomically designed system provides optimum performance because it takes advantage of the strengths and weaknesses of both its human and machine components.
Understanding human limitations early in the development of medical devices can reduce errors and avoid performance problems exacerbated by stress and fatigue. Using ergonomics in a design process may reduce the costs of procuring and maintaining products. It may also minimize the incidence of injury or longer-term malaise from poor working environments.
Many ergonomic problems associated with computer workstations occur in the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand. Continuous work on the computer may expose soft tissues in these areas to repetition, awkward postures, and forceful exertions, especially if the workstation is not set up properly. For example, the mouse device is present in virtually every office environment and designed specifically to the contours of either the right or left hand. Placing the mouse, trackball, or other input device too far away, too low, or too much on one side can cause shoulder, wrist, elbow, and forearm discomfort; however, they offer natural comfort and maximum hand-to-eye coordination when placed within the immediate reach zone.
The Office of Health and Safety at the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has identified repetitive motion injuries as a factor in employee injuries. Repetitive stress injury, also called repetitive strain injury, is an injury caused by overuse of muscles, tendons, and nerves. Usually, it affects the muscles, tendons, and nerves in the arms and upper back; hence it is also known as work related upper limb disorder (WRULD). The medically accepted reason it occurs is when muscles in these areas are kept tense for very long periods of time, due to poor posture and/or repetitive motions. It is most common among assembly line and computer workers. Good posture and ergonomic working conditions may help prevent or halt the progress of the disorder; stretches, strengthening exercises, and massages training to reduce neck and shoulder muscle tension can help heal existing disorders.
One prime example of a repetitive strain injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a painful and often debilitating swelling of the tendons in the wrist. Carpal tunnel results from overuse of the hands and wrists. It is particularly common in people who must bend or overextend their arms while performing a repetitive task, such as typing on a computer keyboard, cutting meat, or tripping knobs and levers.
Rempel et al (2006) conducted a randomized controlled intervention trial to assess body pain severity and incident musculoskeletal disorders among 182 call center operators at a large healthcare company for one year. Participants were randomized to receive (1) ergonomics training only, (2) training plus a trackball, (3) training plus a forearm support, or (4) training plus a trackball and forearm support. Outcome measures were weekly pain severity scores and diagnosis of incident musculoskeletal disorder in the upper extremities or the neck/shoulder region based on physical examination performed by a physician blinded to intervention. The study reported 63 participants diagnosed with one or more incident musculoskeletal disorders. Hazard rate ratios showed a protective effect of the armboard for neck/shoulder disorders (HR = 0.49, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.97) after adjusting for baseline pain levels and demographic and psychosocial factors. The armboard also significantly reduced neck/shoulder pain (p=0.01) and right upper extremity pain (p=0.002) in comparison to the control group. The investigators concluded that providing a large forearm support combined with ergonomic training is an effective intervention to prevent upper body musculoskeletal disorders and reduce upper body pain associated with computer work among call center employees.
The availability of higher quality studies investigating ergonomic interventions to prevent or limit musculoskeletal disorders is limited. No well-known single intervention is universally effective. For example, there is no consistent research evidence that wearing wrist supports during computer use actually helps reduce the risk of injury, or is cost effective. Successful interventions require attention to individual, organizational, and job characteristics, tailoring the corrective ergonomic actions to those characteristics.

Ergonomists draw on the principles of their environment, industrial engineering, psychology, anthropometry (the science of human measurement), and biomechanics (the study of muscular activity), physiology, psychology, and kinesiology to adapt the design of products and workplaces to people's sizes and shapes a well as their physical strengths and limitations. In doing so, the safety, comfort, and efficiency of the products in the workspace are maximized when used by individuals. Ergonomists also consider the speed with which humans react and how they process information, and their capacities for dealing with psychological factors. Armed with this complete picture of how humans interact with their environment, ergonomists develop the best possible design for products and systems, ranging from the handle of a toothbrush to the flight deck of the space shuttle. An ergonomics task analysis can also help identify key components of surgical skill, ensuring that students have affordable, appropriate, valid, and reliable training.
The International Ergonomics Association (IEA) divides ergonomics into three domains, which deal with different aspects of ergonomics.
Physical ergonomics
deals with the human body's responses to physical and physiological loads. Relevant topics include workstation layout, job demands, and risk factors such as repetition, vibration, force, and awkward/static posture as they relate to musculoskeletal disorders.
Cognitive ergonomics
, also known as engineering psychology, concerns mental processes such as perception, attention, cognition, motor control, and memory storage and retrieval as they affect interactions among humans and other elements of a system. Relevant topics include mental workload, vigilance, decision-making, skilled performance, human error, human-computer interaction, and training.
Organizational ergonomics
, or macroergonomics, is concerned with the optimization of sociotechnical systems within a workspace, including their organizational structures, policies, and processes. Relevant topics include shift work, scheduling, job satisfaction, motivational theory, supervision, teamwork, telework and ethics.
One training program that cultivates ergonomic skills is the Alexander technique. It has a long history of helping people develop the subtle coordination of thought and physical action required to monitor and alter harmful patterns of posture and movement. In short, it enables individuals to put ergonomic principles into practice, and thus helps them reduce their risk of developing a repetitive strain injury.
Most ergonomists concerned with physical ergonomics in a work environment agree that it is a good idea to take frequent, brief rest breaks. The below list are example of ergonomic recommendations.
Eye breaks
: Looking at a computer screen for long periods of time may cause changes in how the eyes work, blinking frequency and exposure of the eye surface to air. Many experts recommend looking away from the computer screen every 15 minutes for a minute or two to a more distant scene, preferably something more that 20 feet away. This lets the muscles inside the eye relax. Blinking the eyes rapidly for a few seconds refreshes the tear film and clears dust from the eye surface.
: Most typing is done in bursts rather than continuously. Between these bursts of activity, the hands can be rested in a relaxed, flat, straight posture. During a micro-break (<2 minutes) an individual can briefly stretch, stand up, move around, or do a different work task (e.g. make a phone call). A micro-break is not necessarily a break from work, but it is a break from the use of a particular set of muscles that is doing most of the work (e.g. the finger flexors if typing).
Rest breaks
: Every 30 to 60 minutes a rest break is recommended. During this break stand up, move around and do something else. Such breaks allow an individual to rest and exercise different muscles, with the result of feeling less tired.
Exercise breaks
: There are many stretching and gentle exercises that an individual can do to help relieve muscle fatigue; these are recommended every 1-2 hours.
Ergonomic software
: Ergonomic software is available that can prompt users to take a rest break at appropriate intervals, and suggest simple exercises.
Ergonomic products
: Ergogenic mice are popularly used; however, it may be important to note that these be used with the upper arm relaxed and as close to the body as possible. It is thought that overreaching to an "ergonomic mouse" defeats any benefits of this design. Wrist pads have also been commonly used. Though these products were very popular a few years ago, research studies have not demonstrated any substantial benefits for wrist rests. In fact, a wrist rest may increase pressure inside the carpal tunnel by compressing the undersurface of the wrist. Wrist supports that wrap around the wrists may also be used, but evidence is lacking as to its effectiveness. Those that choose to wear these are advised by experts to keep the hands flat and straight, not bent upwards. Ergonomic products are commonly available for purchase at most office supply stores.
Forearm supports/resting forearms on chair arms
: Current opinion does not recommend resting the forearms on any support while typing because of the potential for restriction of circulation to the finger flexor muscles in the forearm and compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. If forearm supports are required it is usually a sign of a poor ergonomic arrangement. If the keyboard/mouse are appropriately arranged they should be accessible with the user's arms in a neutral position (close by the body and with the upper arm hanging in a relaxed way) which does not pose any significant neck or shoulder load.
Sit-stand workstations
: The use of a height adjustable work surface for sitting and standing work is also popular. An individual can alternate between sitting and standing positions to modify the height of the work surface throughout the day. Such workstations may reduce musculoskeletal discomfort and improve work performance.
Height adjustable, split work surfaces
: Similarly, split work and height adjustable surfaces are primarily designed to aid with wrist posture:

Atkins diet, blood sugar, and weight loss |

Atkins diet, blood sugar, and weight lossBut for people with blood sugar issues it is beneficial for other reasons. What Dr. Atkins did was to take a hypoglycemic diet that previously existed and re-package it for weight loss. At his death by congestive heart failure he weighed 258 pounds. -Dave K |

With better energy levels comes better concentration and hopefully I can control my ADHD symptoms. Diet is a big deal for sure! -Dave K |

Recent evidence shows that fat can function as an endocrine organ and produce something that acts like insulin. And when you produce too much insulin like I do, carbs consumed are quickly converted to fat. So it becomes a vicious cycle. I have an unusual variant on metabolic syndrome and have had it my whole life. But the more typical form is increasingly common in adults, and this all goes back to blood sugar and obesity. So one has to wonder just how many people might benefit from a low-carb diet. I was never able beat the weight gain problem until I went Atkins. So I have to think this notion that it is simple matter of calories is at best selective. Maybe for some people, but I reject that claim 100%. When I went on this diet, I was still eating 1500 calories a day, but I was shedding weight so fast that it scared my wife. |

Atkins diet, blood sugar, and weight loss
One thing that I wanted to add regarding perception. I've talked with quite a few people who said they went on the Atkins diet and lost some weight, but nothing dramatic. After a bit of interrogation, it was obvious that they had never gone into ketosis. While that allegedly is an alternate path, all of my dramatic losses, which ocurred during several rounds of intense dieting over a period of a year, were associated with strong ketosis. And there is no missing this. Your mouth gets as dry as a desert and taste like you've been chewing on iron. You can get test strips for this but you really can't miss the signs.
During these periods of extreme weight loss [~ 5+ pounds per week], I was consuming 25 grams of carbs a day, and mainly from raw vegetables. Three days of that and you WILL be ketogenic. But it takes a few days to deplete the glycogen reserves in your body. |
Feb14-13, 07:26 AM | #5 |
-Dave K |
Feb14-13, 09:52 AM | #6 |
Ketosis is an inefficient metabolic state where energy from fatty acids is partly wasted (acetone) thus caloric requirement for sustained weight becomes higher. I tried to look up exactly what the ratio of energy production is of a normal metabolism vs a ketogenic metabolism, but unfortunately couldn't find it. It would be interesting to know the numbers.. |
Feb15-13, 03:14 AM | #7 |
I was actually going toxic on my own insulin and exhibiting acanthosis nigricans, which has all disappeared since going on Atkins. |
Feb15-13, 05:50 AM | #8 |
My crashes aren't probably as bad as yours, but my experiences are similar. It's hard to explain to people why it's not "healthy" for me to eat an apple or an orange. At least, post-induction, not coupled with a fat source. The good news is that I am a peanut butter addict, and it's one of the best things for me... |
Feb15-13, 09:08 AM | #9 |
Another question: if you are on the Atkins diet, what happens to the glycogen stores? Does the body hold on to a certain reserve? The muscles still need it for fast energy right? |
Feb15-13, 02:13 PM | #10 |
DK. Me too! I am a huge peanut butter eater now. It is a mainstay of my regular diet plan, and in a big way. And there is nothing like a tablespoon of PB to get you by in a pinch! Do you use a protein drink? I use Body Fortress, not because it's necessarily the best, but it's pretty good and easy to find in stores. Having that protein drink first thing each day seems to be hypercritical my success. Any time I start slacking on that, I end up having to go ketogenic to get back on track. |
Feb15-13, 02:26 PM | #11 |
A reason not to completely eliminate sugar and carbs is that the body needs insulin to stimulate the fat cells to store fatty acids. Maybe insulin levels become too low and would disturb the endocrine system? I'm not sure if that's true though. At least it's clear that people with diabetes type 1, who completely lack insulin, go into very dangerous ketoacidosis. The massive and uncontrolled production of ketones acidifies the blood and becomes toxic (the low pH). |
Feb15-13, 02:38 PM | #12 |
One thing that may complicate things even more for me is that I am apparently prone to the vasovagal response, which is triggered by low blood sugar. So I may not only be prone to low blood sugar problems, but also prone to passing out when they hit. |
Feb15-13, 03:00 PM | #13 |
I'm glad that you've found a diet that works for you, that's the most important fact.
Feb15-13, 03:26 PM | #14 |
So, I hoped for the best and gave it a go. And I think Tsu [35 years in medicine] would back me on this when I say that it may well have saved my life. My health had been bad for a long time and was deteriotating quickly. This completely turned things around and gave me control of my life again; in some ways, for the first time ever. So even if it kills me in the long run, I may have been dead by now already. Bottom line is that I feel great and just had all of my vitals closely scrutinized, and all looks good. |
Feb15-13, 04:48 PM | #15 |
A very funny note on all of this. Earlier, I was on the phone with the friend who beat on me until I tried this diet. He is 70 years old and can hold his own with top amateurs on 90 mile bicycle races.
This morning he was beating on me again because I haven't fully implemented an exercise program that meets his satisfaction. But the really funny part is that while he was beating on me over this, he had to stop to order breakfast at a drive-thru. And WHAT did I hear? "I'll take an Egg McMuffin, hash browns..." Oh my, he is NEVER going to hear the end of this. |
Feb16-13, 04:17 PM | #16 |
I was checking another reference that I used and it ends up going back to wiki, which seems to have good references for both Ketosis and Atkins.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atkins_diet So yes, I was thinking the acetyl-CoA passed the blood-brain barrier, but the ketones come from the acetyl-CoA. |

I would like to see a buff for the SMAW
Like (0)
The only reason I would like to see a buff is for airsupport. I think the only thing you can take down with the SMAW is UAV and CUAV. You get a hitmarker with everything else. It wouldn't be so bad, but it's a one and done launcher so you effed in the 'A' if you don't have Blind-Eye.
The SMAW is the only defense against airsupport you have until level 20 (Blind-Eye). So what are you suppose to do until then, shoot it? It still takes a full clip with most weapons AFTER you fire your SMAW rocket
Definitely agree that the lockon aspect of the game should be buffed. Nothing else though.
You want a stinger? SMAW is fine for lower levels.
You don't unlock the Stinger until 40 something. You have nothing to protect you from airsupport until level 11 when you get Blind-Eye
It is fine for low levels...how many games does it take you to get to lvl 11? the smaw isn't your problem...its teamwork.
Before you can have teamwork you need a team, running solo that doesn't happen often. I don't see what the big deal is to buff the SMAW so you can take out an Attack Heli
I don't even care about taht aspect. I can't even lock on to the chopper. It beeps a few times then after I shoot it misses the chopper completely.
I've never had that problem. I just get hit markers
I've had my Stinger do this the last couple times, too.
Use a token.....that's what I did.
Have you ever tried using the SMAW? It doesn't track after locking on...
I can't believe the lack of anti air defense is used in a lot of games I play. Even if you dont get the stinger till 40, people should at least use the default class when they die from opposing air support. All it takes is a couple people to shoot it down, then change back to your class of preference after your next death.
I honestly think it's fine (outside of people who spam it like a primary). It's really just the trade-off of...
A.) Being the default Launcher.
B.) Being both free fire AND vehicle lock.
...if we raise the damage to OHKing Attack Helicopters (which is also the "limit" before flares start popping out of aerial killstreaks), all it'd need is 1 extra rocket before the Stinger would essentially be pointless outside of higher-end killstreaks as the SMAW would have similar power, but far greater versatility by being able to used like a one-shot RPG-7 as well.
Not to say I don't know the feeling as I've hitmarkered choppers with the SMAW and such before, but a few bullets more and it goes down quickly anyway given the SMAW depletes a majority of its health at least..
This is true, I just feel so vulnerable until I get Blind-Eye. I feel like I shouldn't be forced to use a perk or have to spend an entire clip just to take down the masses of airsupport that go up during a match
i think it needs a buff to it's useless unless your using it to kill people it's no stronger when using it with blind-eye pro and blind-eye pro is suppose to give more damage against air support.and while iw is fixing that they can buff the model 1887 to.
Blind-Eye Pro lets you lock onto targets faster, not give you extra damage
it does say you get extra damage on blind-eye pro against air support.
Not with rockets though, just bullet damage
sorry not on the game atm just looked though yes it is extra bullet damage against air support but it should be extra weapon damage against air support in this case.
well a higher rank shold try to shoot it down i always shoot enemy ks down, it boils down to team work.
They have a good reason for not giving everyone a stinger real early in the ranks. If they gave you a launcher such as the stinger as early as you have the SMAW, air support would get taken down even faster than it does now. You may not like it, but the launcher order is perfectly fine and no buff is ever going to happen to any launcher.
You also can use the Javelin at level 24, and it has no problem dealing with Attack Choppers in one shot. Other than that, use a prestige token to unlock the Stinger, then you will have access to it from level 4 on (create a class unlock), and your problem will be solved.
In addition, use the LMG. Outside of Advanced UAV's, it can cut all but the pavelow out the sky in around 1/ 2 a clip(L86)
Very good idea as well, LMGs are a great option as well.
SMAW is funny when you try to kill some enemies. Sometimes u shoot SMAW into enemys face and he still kills you
I really don't use it or rely on it. I used a prestige token to unlock the stinger and have never looked back. But I could see your point if that was a weapon you choose to run with.
I dont understand that in the menu.. the SMAW and Stringer missiles have same damage but SMAW cant take chopper down...sames goes for RPG
In-game stats (the colored bars that measure how high/low they are) lie. Fact.
I carry the SMAW on most of my classes. It's only one shot but I like the diversity it provides. And it's not hard to drop it after and pick something else up that's useful. But I think adding anything to this launcher would just over power it. Its good the way it is.
I used the token from my first prestige to unlock the Stinger, so I don't really remember the SMAW very well, other than that when I prestiged, the Stinger was enough of an improvement that it was worth a token.
But I've been having lots of fun taking down the air support now with an LMG. Most of my team mates are still unslinging their Stinger/SMAW by the time I've taken it down with bullets and Blind Eye. I save the Stinger for the UAVs.
I have stringer unlocked as well.. but that is only set to use on a stealth class..
On other classes I either use , SMAW or RPGs... These are good to shoot enemy at distance or behind corners and campers (also nice to hear enemy raging after getting killed from these.)

CMIT Solutions is the small business IT support and IT services company for Castle Rock, Parker, Aurora, Elizabeth, and Franktown.
After playing a crucial roll in the development of Best Buy's Geek Squad, Daren and Tina Russell began looking for a way to provide the small business market with resources that are normally reserved for Fortune 500 companies. After much research, Daren and Tina opted for a CMIT Solutions franchise and began CM IT Solutions of Castle Rock/Parker in 2005.
CMIT Solutions is a nationwide provider of information technology (IT) services and solutions for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). With more than 800 consultants and technicians, CMIT has expertise in nearly all technologies and industries. Founded in 1996 in Austin, TX, CMIT Solutions, Inc. has grown into the leading IT solution provider for SMBs. With over 10 years of experience and strong industry partnerships, CMIT Solutions is capable of providing enterprise-level services and products that were previously unavailable to the SMB market. We are a local company with the support of a national network behind us. We focus on making your business run better by understanding your business and technology needs.
"Owning a franchise vs. a start up business is quite dramatic," Tina explains. "With a CMIT franchise you are provided a winning format that has been tested and constantly refined. This provides a strong foundation to build your business on, with proven techniques, guidelines and support. Companies such as Dell, Microsoft,Symantec, AVG, and Intuit have recognized the value of CM IT Solutions, as well, giving us preferred vendor status. This means that CM IT Solutions has direct IT Support and purchasing power that allows us to customize solutions for our individual clients, while saving them money and giving them a complete one stop resource for hardware, software, peripherals, and state-of-the-art managed services."
Daren says,"Having been part of the "geek" service industry, I quickly saw a gap in the the IT services being offered by the large corporate "geeks" and what small business clients need. Rather than focusing on setting profit goals with minimally trained employees, our focus is to listen, evaluate and provide world class IT services to our clients that will increase productivity, minimize down time, and streamline processes. Having a business background, CM IT Solutions of Castle Rock and Parker is in a position to understand what it takes to run a business and how important a computer network is to business success. By working with business owners and decision makers, CM IT Solutions of Castle Rock and Parker is able to apply technology to fulfill their needs, maximize efficiencies and increase profits."

Problems arise. The artist states "Neither do I consider the story of the sacrifice of Isaac as signifying a divine command or decree of G-d. For me, it symbolizes the fear of the individual to defy the dictates of society and its conventions." Not surprisingly, he understands that a man that sacrifices his son sacrifices himself, i.e. his entire future.

Dear Dr. Yael:
Do you really believe that the Internet is the reason why the divorce rate is so high among young couples? This may be so in some cases, but what about the fact that many singles are pressured to get married at a young age despite not having any idea what they are looking for in a mate? And add to that the fact that many are pressured to make a decision about marriage after dating for a very short period of time.
From the moment they stand under the chuppah, newlyweds have two years to enjoy the special bliss that new love brings. This new finding, reported by the New York Times, is based on a study undertaken by American and European researchers. 1,761 people who got married and stayed married over 15 years were followed. The research shows that after two years the couples moved into a more companionable state in their relationships.
Shel Silverstein's 1974 poem "Where The Sidewalk Ends" is intended to paint a magical picture of a world of peace and serenity far away from the "black and dark streets." At the time, perhaps the end of the sidewalk was a place that was "measured and slow." Today, however, for many parents, where the sidewalk ends can feel like a scary place.

Florida is famous for sparkling water. We have the beautiful Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico surrounding our coast. We have bays, lakes, canals and, of course, an incredible abundance of swimming pools in homes, resorts, apartment complexes and city parks.
The buzz is back as Camp Gan Israel Florida Overnight gears up for another fantastic summer, CGI Florida style. What makes CGI Florida so different from all the other overnight camps? It's all in the details.
Leah Katz, a TeenZone camper at Oorah's TheZone summer camp and an 11th grader at Midwood High School, read her winning essay about how TheZone changed her views on Judaism at the Jewish Heritage Awards Ceremony held at Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes's office in April. The purpose of the Jewish Heritage Essay Contest is to acquaint public school students with Jewish history and customs and to help foster a deeper understanding of Jewish culture. The contest is open to students of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. Leah's essay is reproduced in full below.
Moshe Sharett, the head of the Jewish Agency's Political Department, visited Egypt in 1945. In Cairo he met a most remarkable young woman, a beautiful journalist who was the darling of Egyptian high society – from high-ranking military brass, to culture icons and Muslim sheikhs, to the court of King Faruk.
The two proceeded to talk about everyday things and surprisingly her mother-in-law did not find anything else to criticize. This occurred a few more times, with my client changing the topic every time by complimenting her mother-in-law or mentioning something positive about her.
There is always a lot of confusion surrounding sensory processing disorder – mainly because there are many different diagnoses that fall under the catch-all phrase sensory processing disorder (SPD). Among them are three specific subcategories:
The doctor had warned us that even if we did everything right and followed the protocol after the follicle was of the right size, there was no guarantee of success. Fertilization still had to occur, and just like couples do not necessarily become pregnant every month, we had no way to know if we were actually expecting for two full weeks.

In the eyes of the ram lies the artist's commentary on the Rosh Hashanah piyyut "The King Girded with Strength." From the Tripartite Mahzor (German 14th century), this illumination simultaneously echoes the piyyut's praise of God's awesome power and expresses the terror of actually being a sacrifice to God. The ram is but a reflection of Isaac. It is all in the eyes.
Reaching back in time to reclaim a family for herself and, in a yahrzeit moment, to rekindle lives snuffed out, Diana Kurz's paintings stand as testaments to victims of the Holocaust. After a successful 20 year career as an artist and teacher, (with a strong feminist bent), in 1989 Kurz happened upon a few surviving photos of her own relatives "who disappeared during the war." Suddenly her past opened up and possessed her. This spring (April 4 – May 2, 2012) a series of these paintings was shown at the Art Gallery at Kingsborough Community College, CUNY.
Examining a choice selection of drawings done by Itshak Holtz over 30 years ago is a rare pleasure that allows for the appreciation of his unique sensitivity and insights. I was afforded that pleasure at the inaugural exhibition of the Betzalel Gallery in Crown Heights this past May. Although this modest selection of 25 drawings and watercolors of this paradigmatic frum artist ranges from 1963 to 1999, the majority of the works is from the 1970s and reveals a special aspect of his inner artistic soul. The selection of images could easily narrate the fabric of ordinary Jewish life.
Earlier this year I was presenting my survey of Jewish art, "A Jewish Art Primer," in a West Hartford, Connecticut synagogue and during the intermission a local artist, David Holzman, introduced himself to me. He relayed his rich and fascinating artistic background and then produced a portfolio of 8 black and white prints that he generously gave to me as a gift. As a tantalizing glimpse into recent work, they are truly amazing and I would like to share them with you.
Boris Schatz (1866 – 1932) had a revolutionary vision. He believed that the creation of a new modern Jewish visual culture would become a major force to both articulate a Jewish national identity and sustain the Zionist enterprise. In 1904 he approached Zionist leader Theodor Herzl with the proposal to establish a national arts and crafts school in Palestine and got his blessing. Tragically Herzl died later that year, but the Zionist leadership in Vienna assumed responsibility for the project and its funding.
The exhibitions that precede Judaic auctions are rather special events for anyone who has a feeling for the fabric of Jewish life as it has been lived for the last 500 years. Not only is one afforded the opportunity to see a wide variety of Judaica, books, manuscripts and Jewish art of considerable historic importance, but if something strikes your fancy; intellectually or acquisitively, you can actually handle the objects. For most artwork the thrill is in seeing it up close and judging the brushstrokes and details of a painting or watercolor. One stands in the exact proximity as the creator did.
The auction at Christie's in Paris this May 11 of a Tuscan Mahzor, created and illuminated in the 1490's, will be an extraordinary event. This rare example of illuminated Jewish art has not been seen publically in over 500 years and, aside from tantalizing internal suggestions, lacks conclusive identification of the scribe and illuminators. Because the gold-tooled goatskin binding was made about 50 years after the manuscript and has a different coat of arms than those found in the machzor, it is assumed that this prayerbook may have quickly changed hands.
One thing is certain about Robert Feinland – he has shuls on his mind. His career has spanned over 40 years, exploring landscape, cityscape, sculpture and abstraction. For many of those years he has focused on the relentlessly changing urban landscape of New York, feeling the necessity to document and, in some way preserve, the physical fabric of the city he loves. A selection of recent paintings, most concentrating on the Crown Heights community, is currently at the Chassidic Art Institute. Many of the images are of shuls.

STORRS >> Things got a little chippy at UConn practice earlier this week, and coach Kevin Ollie couldn't have been happier.
During a box-out drill, guard Ryan Boatright and forward DeAndre Daniels apparently got into a bit of a scuffle.
"We were just grabbing each other, one person got mad and it went from there," Boatright reported.
No cause for alarm, though. Boatright and Daniels are close friends and, in fact, roommates. These things happen when a team has a week of practices between games, and with few other people on campus, gets a little tired of seeing each other every day.
"I imagine they're tired of hitting each other," said Ollie, a smile spread across his face. "Nobody was going to fight, but it was good to see it … Being around each other for a week, you get testy a little bit. You don't have classes, you're living with each other, it's like you're around each other all the time. They love each other, we've been working hard, we've been having some outstanding practices … I really like their focus."
The Huskies (10-3, 0-1 Big East) will need such intensity on Tuesday when they host DePaul in their first conference home game of the season at Gampel Pavilion (7 p.m., SNY). The Blue Demons having been seemingly eternal Big East pushovers, and UConn has won the last seven contests between the two teams.
But DePaul is different this season. It is a perfect 4-0 in true road games, most recently an impressive 83-75 win at Providence Saturday night. The Blue Demons (10-5, 1-1) were edged by Seton Hall in their Big East opener at home on Jan. 2.
"They really should be 2-0," Boatright noted. "I feel like they're a better team than last year. We've got to compete and don't take them lightly."
Added Ollie: "They've got a belief in themselves … We're going to have to come and play. They're defensive pressure is very, very hard. They're in gaps. Brandon Young is playing at an exceptional pace, and (Cleveland) Melvin is doing what Melvin does – just getting buckets, getting buckets."
Melvin, a 6-foot-8 junior forward, was a one-time UConn commit who de-committed in the spring of 2010 and has found a happy home in Chicago. He also leads DePaul in rebounding at 7.7 per game – nearly twice as much as any current Husky is averaging. Continued...
"He's been an outstanding player in the Big East since he's been here," Ollie said of Melvin.
The Huskies are coming off a tough, overtime loss at Marquette in their Big East opener Tuesday night. That – and a week's worth of practices and seeing few other people but their teammates – helped lead to a little chippiness in practice.
"Me and Boat are best friends," Daniels said. "We came (to UConn) at the same time and have always been roommates. It's all love. We were just on the court, trying to compete."
RIM RATTLINGS: Ollie said he received apologies from Big East commissioner Mike Aresco and director of officials Art Hyland regarding the officials' mistake in the Marquette game. After the teams lined up facing the wrong basket for the opening tap of overtime, Shabazz Napier's layup attempt was goaltended by Marquette. The refs didn't give UConn the two points, but admitted afterwards that, by rule, they should have.
"It's over with," said Ollie. "Satisfied or not, it doesn't make a difference. I talked to the commissioner, the head of officials, they both apologized. I accept their apology. We move on, things happen. Hopefully, we learn from it, our guys learn from every situation. But like I've said before, the past doesn't equal the future unless you live in it. We're not going to live in that, we're going to move on."
