I love the concept behind the Ugly Duckling Lamp. (This may be because it is named after one of my favorite fairy tales.) Made out of 'ugly' material, this unique fixture becomes a beautiful 'swan' light that illuminates even the darkest corners of one's life.
Created by Hong Kong-based designer Kamric To, the Ugly Duckling Lamp is made out of PVC piping and plastic soda bottles. With its elegant and graceful lines, it surely does look swan-like.

Garbage Really Gets My Goat
A couple of months ago in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, I noticed a kid — no more than 7 years old — take an ice cream sandwich his parents had just purchased, unwrap it, then waltz right past a garbage can and throw the wrapper into the street. You know what I found most surprising?
That there was actually a garbage can.
I'm a little angry today, and it's another ice cream induced headache. (It was a Cornetto for those keeping track, Magnum is well out of my budget range.) I bought one here in Bangkok last night, and once the chocolatey goodness had gone, I found myself with sticky fingers, and an even stickier dilemma…
What to do with the ice cream wrapper?
Surely there's a garbage bin outside the store where I bought it, I thought. Well, no.
That's okay, 7/11 just up the road will have one for sure. Nope.
In fact, in the 15 minutes it took me to walk back to my hotel, I did not see one public garbage can.
I ended up taking the wrapper back to my room. Even the lobby in my hotel didn't have a trash bin.
That makes me angry.
The theme at the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Tourism Forum in Manado, Indonesia last month was ASEAN Goes Green. There was a rally cry on all things green at the outset of the conference from Keynote Speaker Mr. Taleb D. Rifai, Secretary General of United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). Then a well received call to arms from Dr. Andy Nazarechuk, President of Asia-Pacific Council on Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education (APacCHRIE). And Jim Boyles, GM of Melia hotels in Bali, Indonesia went on to give an enthusiastic speech about the economic and earthly benefits of hotels turning the green corner.
And that's kinda where it ended. There was little else green about the conference. But more on that in a bit.
Building a Better Bin
Dr. Andy's presentation centred on an example of the development of Boracay in the Philippines over the years, complete with photos he had taken himself only weeks earlier.
One of the photos was of what he called the perfect garbage can.
So why is this the ultimate in trash receptacles? Well, it's made from concrete. That means it's going to last for decades, and unlike plastic trash bins, it probably won't end up in a garbage dump anytime soon. It also means it was made locally, which lessens the carbon footprint used to create it. And bonus points to Boracay for creating local jobs.
So we've got the perfect garbage bin. But what ends up happening to it? Something like this…
You see, tourists DO want to dispose of their trash. But when facilities do exist, the local infrastructure is often ill-equipped to handle it. Garbage collection is infrequent. Garbage is oftentimes just burned, or even worse, dumped into the ocean. Take a look at this article from Time Magazine about the problems garbage is causing for Bunaken Island in Indonesia.
At the ASEAN Tourism Forum, the tourism boards from the 10 member nations presented their plans for 2012. Mostly they centred around projected numbers of visitors for the coming year, infrastructure developments, and accolades each country received in the previous year.
The only one that appeared to have a green strategy was Thailand. They called it the "7 Greens".
And they backed it up nicely by offering a USB key to media members filled with PDF brochures instead of the stacks of paper brochures and booklets the others member nations handed out. Nice touch.
But try finding a public garbage can in Bangkok.
Some of the ASEAN countries mentioned a focus on eco-tourism in their presentations. And that was quite welcome…but…you can have all the green hotels and green attractions in the world, but when your beaches end up looking like this one in Phu Quoc, Vietnam…
Or this one in Krong Koh Kong, Cambodia…
…tourists are going to have something like this to say,
"The hotel was fabulous, but the garbage on the beach was atrocious."
So what's the answer? Well, garbage cans are a start. But what happens downstream from that bin needs to handled a lot better as well. If Tourism Boards are serious about putting their greenbacks where their green mouth is, they should consider something like what's happening at the Chiang Mai Sunday Market in Thailand.
Looks complicated, but they even have an attendant there to assist you with disposing of your waste properly. Now that's going green.
An initiative from NoFoam.org in Chiang Mai is also attempting to convince local food vendors to quit serving their dishes in foam plates and containers. It looks like they are having some success – many of the stalls serve meals in containers made from banana leaf.
The loose cannons in this equation are people like that kid in Ho Chi Minh City. And his parents. If the locals don't give a damn about where the garbage is going, what message does that send to tourists?
I would argue that it's not tourism that is responsible for the massive garbage problem in Southeast Asia, but its own inhabitants who shoulder most of the blame.
Perhaps that's where some of the focus should be.
What are your thoughts?

This is an online reputation example of a business who thought they could take the easy way out and run from their negative reviews; customer complaints and media coverage.
Before we get into the mud, the business discussed here will remain anonymous as there's no reason for us to make their online reputation matters worse. In addition, for the record, this isn't a client of ours nor have we ever been retained to consult with or help improve their online reputation.
Here's what happened:
The company, which we will refer to as "The ABC Company" is a retail establishment with a single store location on the East coast.
When searching for the company's name in Google, the first two results are secured by The ABC Company's domain name. From there, however, it gets worse.
50 reviews in Yelp averaging two (out of five) stars.
Two negative blogs
A complaint filed with the Ripoff Report
All on the first page of Google search results.
So, rather than try to clean up its reputation, The ABC Company opted to purchase a different domain and changed their business name slightly to "The ABCD Company."
Guess what? That strategy never works.
You see, your negative reputation will always follow you. If you (as an individual) or your business didn't get it right the first time, then chances are good you're going to fail the second time.
The "new" business continued to earn poor reviews; negative complaints; media coverage as well as an onslaught of comments informing everyone that "The ABCD Company" is the same as "The ABC Company," etc.
The "new" business has secured the top two results in Google with their new domain name, but a fresh batch of negative posts follow, including:
Back-to-back negative news stories.
Those same 50 bad Yelp reviews (reviewers helped Yelp connect the new company with the old company).
A negative blog.
A legal matter.
Two more negative blogs and a negative Facebook Page attacking the new company round out the Top 10 search results.
Overall, the reputation for the "new" firm is worse than the original company.
Where do you start?
Well, besides shuttering your doors and never going into business again, this is an online reputation problem from a very dark place. It would require the following:
- There's obviously more here than just an upset customer or two, so other problems exist within the company itself. Processes, products, services and staff need to be corrected; modified and re-trained internally first.
- Develop and implement a strong public relations campaign. Only new and fresh online media coverage (print and video) can outrank old negative URLs appearing in search results.
- Blog every day. Maybe twice a day. Work on your company and brand name.
- Share a ton of positive photographs in social media (Twitter; Flickr; Facebook, etc.).
- Film and share your own positive videos on YouTube and in other social networks.
This online reputation problem can be fixed, but it will have to start internally and then publicly.

Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) June 12, 2014
HospitalPix, a mobile application incorporating a comprehensive database of hospital locations and photo-sharing features for informative profiles of medical facilities, is now available for download in the United States.
The app, which runs on Android devices, uses geolocation to generate a list of nearby facilities from an index of the more than 4,000 hospitals in the U.S. Important information including maps, directions and contact information is presented clearly upon selecting a facility. Additionally, users can upload photos of their hospital experiences to each hospital's profile, along with comments and reviews. Other users can view and comment on these images and descriptions, producing honest and vivid accounts of each facility's culture and care.
"People all over the world get a great deal of fulfillment from documenting their experiences in real time with photo sharing apps," said Dr. Jacques Durand, chief medical officer of Health2i, the app's developer. "Imagine how inspirational it would be to follow a chronicle of a person's recovery from a stroke or a traumatic accident. This technology allows people to preserve and share these healthy developments."
One in every five people across the globe owns a smartphone, providing easy access to highly portable and advanced cameras. Popular apps like Instagram, Flickr and Snapchat, which boast 200 million, 92 million and 30 million users respectively, enable people to share and view photos taken on the fly with their mobile devices. However, these apps are host to a broad range of images, and pictures of medical value must compete with irrelevant content for space and attention. HospitalPix is the first of these apps to include an extensive hospital database and location software, and Durand said the app's dedicated focus on health care makes it more useful to patients and medical professionals interested in sharing the latest developments on topics like equipment and facilities.
"Whether you're a health-care provider looking to promote your career offerings and services, a nurse eager to give people a glimpse into life on the job or a patient interested in capturing your social interactions during your visit, HospitalPix lets users share this information easily in a way that illustrates the hospital experience for everyone involved," Durand said. The app has already been used as a resource for existing patients to aid new patients in finding specific locations like prayer rooms and administrative offices, and others have used it to critique their hospital's meal options. Furthermore, he explained that patient advocates can use the app to provide advice on specific questions.
Images posted to HospitalPix can be shared on a variety of social media platforms and enhanced using the photo-editing software found in other photography apps. The app also enables users to post photos taken with Google Glass, which is being tested in a variety of medical applications. Users can report sensitive pictures or content to protect patient privacy.
The U.S. introduction follows its premier at the Doctors 2.0 Conference (http://www.doctors20.com/) last week in Paris and its launch in Southeast Asia early last month. A version specific to Canada will be available by the end of the month, with a European version following in September.
HospitalPix is available for free from the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=id.gits.Hospital.Usa&hl=en_GB. Durand plans to release an iOS version of the app in the future.

Manning, SC (WLTX)- People in Manning have complained about mosquitoes so much, officials had to start spraying for them in November.
Manning's Public Works Director Robin Hardy says this is the worst mosquito problem they've seen during the fall in two decades.
He says they usually stop in the middle of October after a big frost that kills them all but this year, it just hasn't happened.
Hardy says the biggest reason is the hot and dry weather, "mosquitoes have been laying eggs" and the conditions have helped the eggs mature and hatch.
It's all turned out to be quite costly for the city, "a five gallon bucket of [chemicals] runs about $900 and it lasts us maybe one week so it's costing us 900-1,000 dollars a week just for the chemical to spray" said Hardy.
But because the piles of complaints keep stacking up, Hardy plans to keep going until they get rid of the complaints.
Clarendon County does not count with the same equipment Manning has, so it's been all up to the them. Hardy asks people to please bear with them.

Students race rats to mark finals end
Students and faculty at Kentucky's Spalding University marked the end of finals week with the annual Running of the Rodents, a race exclusively for rats.
The race, which has been a tradition at the school for 37 years, involves rats trained by teams of students and faculty to race around a small oval track for a rodent-friendly prize -- a garland made from fruit-flavored cereal, the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal reported Thursday.This year's event, dubbed
CelebRATy,bore a Hollywood theme that was reflected by the names of the rats, including Hannah Ratannah, Robert Ratford and featured race winner Ratalina Jolie.
Melissa Lowe, director of human resources for Spalding University, said she hasn't missed a rat race in three years.
It's hilarious, she said.
It's unique to Spalding and keeps Spalding fun and different.

6 Time Saving Beauty Products
I get how busy you are – every woman does. Lack of time is surely the curse of the modern woman. We all want to be the best employee, friend and partner we can be, somehow ourselves always becoming the lowest priority. We drive ourselves to distraction wishing there were an extra few hours in the day…
But I'm determined you won't be last on your own list, so I'm here to let you know which are the greatest products for keeping you beautiful when time is precious.
The Upgrades – traditional products but faster
1. L'Oreal Excell 10 hair colour (around £8 from Boots): Due to many greys, the bore of dying my hair is a monthly chore, so when a box promised me permanent colour in just ten minutes (as apposed to my usual 30+) it sounded the dream I'd been waiting for. The product applies like a traditional home hair colour, but the development time is much quicker, and it works. It's a couple of pounds more in price than a regular hair dye, but so worth it for the time saving factor.
2. Orly 'In a Snap' top coat (£5.60 from Amazon): If you desire colour for your nails, but end up using clear to save drying time, this will be your new favourite product. Use as a regular top coat over any colour and it will be touch dry in less than a minute. It's my manicure must-have product.
The Multi-taskers – saving time by doing more than one thing
3. Murad Blemish Treatment Concealer (£17 from Amazon): This great little product not only gives great coverage over nasties, but contains a spot fighting ingredient too which really works, so you can cover and kill all in one. Available in Light and Medium – my recommendation is only those with very pale skin go for the Light shade. Apply under your regular foundation, or on its own, and your spot will disappear in no time.
4. Cor Silver Soap (starting £15 for 10g from Bliss): I know that in my thirties I ought to be using cleanser, but the whole cotton wool pad mess about just won't allow me to break my teenage habit of washing my face with soap. This unique facial hero not only cleanses but tones and exfoliates, and replaces lost collagen too. It even moisturises and has a medium SPF protection – I'm not sure there's anything more you could want one skin care product to do!
The Life-savers – for absolute emergencies
5. Batiste Dry Shampoo (£1.52 from Boots online): Slept in? Here's how to revive your hair without washing it. I'm not recommending building in to your beauty routine, but this stuff really works. Just spray the super fine powder in to your hair and comb through the lengths. Okay, so it's not going to fully cleanse your hair, but it will absorb grease at the roots and refresh your hair enough to get you through the day. A bargain beauty buy worth having on stand-by.
6. The bun ring (£5 from Amazon): This squidgy accessory will save your hair's fashion credentials. Just place over your pony tail and pin your hair round it to cover. Gives a sophisticated yet sassy style in less than five minutes, what's not to love?

As the creator of Britain's most successful television drama series, Julian Fellowes might be expected to take criticism of Downton Abbey in his stride.
The Conservative peer has, however, been stung by the "nit-picking" of viewers who claim to have discovered historical howlers in his scripts.
The latest complaint to have irritated Lord Fellowes of West Stafford is about the use by the Earl of Grantham's valet, John Bates, of the word "minimalise". Viewers claimed that it was out of place in the drama, which is set in the Twenties.
"The objection to Bates's use of the word 'minimalise' and the claim that it belongs more properly in a chat over a cup of coffee in Starbucks are mistaken," he insists, in a letter to the Daily Mail.
"'Minimalise' first appeared in print in 1914, suggesting that it was current before then. This would have been at least a decade earlier than the events depicted in the programme."
Fellowes, whose wife, Emma, is a lady-in-waiting to Princess Michael of Kent, adds: "A remarkable thing about English is how much of what seems to sound modern has, in fact, been in use for some time.
"I like to employ phrases that make the dialogue feel modern while making sure (or trying to) that the word or phrase was in colloquial use before the time of the events on the screen. We don't always get it right but, in this instance, we did."
"Minimalise" is the latest in a string of alleged anachronisms in the period drama. Others include the use of the word "boyfriend", as well as the concept of a "professional woman", which is used to describe a maid who wants to leave domestic service to become a secretary.

Cool Unlockables and Fun Multiplayer make Cartoon Network a great game for young kart racer fans.
One needs only to search "kart" on any gaming info or retail site to see a rather substantial list returned, and for good reason. Kart racers are very popular, as they offer fun, bright tracks, wacky attacks, wackier drivers, and loads of unlockables. Game Factory's racer meets all of the above requirements, and with its target audience beginning at age 7 or so, will Cartoon Network Racing please the little DS owning crumb crunchers while keeping the more seasoned gamer happy? Will Game Factory continue its streak of fun, properly programmed games directed towards a young audience? Read On!
Let's face it, Cartoon Network Racing starts with an ace in the hole. What better fodder for a goofy racer than Johnny Bravo, Dexter, DeeDee, the Poweruff Girls and Pork Butt!? In addition, tracks could be original and based upon the environments in each cartoon. The game delivers where it should, it's a fun ride, however some of the unlockables may take a little too long to unlock for a young gamer.
CN Racing offers three separate racin' modes:
- Championship (Player vs. AI Characters)
- Versus (Player vs. Other DS Owners, with or without the game cart)
- Time Trial (Player vs. The Clock)
For those of you who have never played a racer/cart racer, Championship mode is usually for racing against the available characters, usually to unlock characters, tracks, etc. Choice of racer reminds me of the Mario Kart series, each character has different strengths and weaknesses. There is a choice here to compliment anyone's racing style. from a preference to small, fast and light (ie: you get knocked around a lot) to the slow to start, high top end (ie: tank).
Nine characters are available at the beginning of the game; at least 20 are available to be unlocked. Each character also has an individual "Toon Power", which can be used to boost their stats or to make life difficult for the other players. The controls are very simple, (A, B, R and L) and once the Power Slide is mastered, the youngest player can compete with the big boys. Speaking of younger players may become frustrated later on, as the game progresses in difficulty, Cheap AI Syndrome takes effect. This is frustrating for adults, and kids may not have the patience required to unlock the additional content.
Time Trial, the player races against the clock. That's really all there is to be said about it.
The Versus really shines, and can extend the life of a game which could other wise lie on the shelf after Championship mode is finished. As with many single cart download content, character choice is very limited, so to get the most out of multi play, its better if each player has a copy of the game. Being beaten by a human player is usually preferable to being beaten by cheap AI tactics, and playing against other people is simply more fun.
Graphics first. The characters look good, not DS exploding, but good, However, this is taking into consideration this is a DS game, there is a lot going on at once on the screen; carts, attacks, etc.
I was hoping for a bit more character detail, and eye popping environments. This is a cartoon game after all. The sound is average as well. The characters are voices sound like those from the show, and they will make random comments during gameplay.
As for additional content, there is much to be said about this. Characters, full episodes of the cartoons, and even minigames are all available to be unlocked.
In closing, this is a fun addition to a young gamers DS library, and the Wi-Fi multiplayer should keep the older gamer content.

Welcome to The Happy Mind Movement where you will discover HOW to live a life free of anxiety and depression
First thing first; the good news is, you are not sick and there is nothing wrong with you.
Anxiety and depression are states, not illnesses. They are simply SOS signals from within, alerts to re-evaluate your lifestyle and environment. Telling you it's time to take ownership of yourself and your life and make a new decision to wake up, step up and own it.
I have witnessed many times over through my personal experience and my work as a coach that the symptoms of anxiety and depression are a result of an unhealthy lifestyle, past experiences, beliefs, values, the way we view the world and our thinking.
I believe an unhealthy lifestyle is the cause of the chemical imbalance in the brain that leads to anxiety and depression, and can be easily rectified with a change in diet, eliminating alcohol and drugs, incorporating daily movement and quieting the mind through meditation.
A personal development journey is also required to find out who you really are and what makes you tick. On this journey you get to unpack all the crap you have picked up from your past life experiences that no longer serve you.
You get to eliminate limiting and sabotaging beliefs, change the way you view the world and the way you think, and find out who you are and what you truly value to create a new story and lead an amazing life. When you know what your truth is and have the courage to stand in it, there is no fear or darkness in your world.

Can someone point me in a good direction for ways to filter my JList?
I have a list that I will want to sort based on filters the user can select from RadioButtons. It would work best if there was a way to "hide" items from the list so they actually retain their original index if possible.
I don't want to add and delete items to and from the list... I just want to filter them. Is it possible to change the visibility of specific indexes from a JList?

PhDAmerican Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation: October 2007 - Volume 86 - Issue 10 - p 845-852 doi: 10.1097/PHM.0b013e318151ff5a Education & Administration: Competency Abstract Author Information Massagli TL, Carline JD: Reliability of a 360-degree evaluation to assess resident competence. Am J Phys Med Rehabil 2007;86:845–852. Objective: To determine the feasibility and psychometric qualities of a 360-degree evaluation of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) residents' competence. Design: Nurses, allied health staff, and medical students completed a 12-item questionnaire after each PM&R resident rotation from January 2002 to December 2004. The items were derived from five of the six competencies defined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Results: Nine hundred thirty evaluations of 56 residents were completed. The alpha reliability coefficient for the instrument was 0.89. Ratings did not vary significantly by resident gender. Senior residents had higher ratings than junior residents. A reliability of >0.8 could be achieved by ratings from just five nurses or allied health staff, compared with 23 ratings from medical students. Factor analysis revealed all items clustered on one factor, accounting for 84% of the variance. In a subgroup of residents with low scores, raters were able to differentiate among skills. Conclusion: Resident assessment tools should be valid, reliable, and feasible. This Web-based 360-degree evaluation tool is a feasible way to obtain reliable ratings from rehabilitation staff about resident behaviors. The assignment of higher ratings for senior residents than junior residents is evidence for the general validity of this 360-degree evaluation tool in the assessment of resident performance. Different rater groups may need distinct instruments based on the exposure of rater groups to various resident activities and behaviors.

Professionally, I like battlefield or war-themed maps, although most of my work has been street-level phone book maps. I want to become more proficient in "egghead" GIS this year - above my rudimentary abilities in mapublisher. I downloaded GRASS yesterday, so I may have some questions.

Thanks folks! Hey frax...I'm a contractor in northern Minnesota (-14ºF yesterday!). I've been doing maps for nearly 10 years, since graduating from UMD-Duluth. Former National Geographic intern, worked for a small map company for six years, and now in my third year of freelancing.

Welcome! It's good to have a few more Minnes-OH-tans around CartoTalk....I live in Springfield (down by Mankato), but also spend a fair amount of time up in Nashwauk in Itasca County every summer at my cabin.
I had to write and say hello after I FINALLY found the guy who helped develop the graphic for one of the first published "360-degree" campus maps in the country - http://homepage.mac....cart/3dmap.html I had referenced UMD's 360-degree map online for YEARS as an example of where our industry would be heading in 2000-2010...so it is fun to meet one of the "pioneers" of 360-degree mapping related to college campuses. My firm (mapformation, formerly known as tonnhaus design) is JUST getting into 360-degree/interactive mapping in 2006, as the bulk of our previous portfolio is "static" 2D and 3D perspective imagery.
At any rate, welcome to CartoTalk! I hope I get to know you better in the weeks and months to come...and I'll make sure to add your firm's web site to my own list of "industry" sites that I maintain on our firm's web site as well.

I just visited your site, and you are doing great work in that field. Maybe we can get together someday and "talk shop."
Posted 06 March 2006 - 06:43 PM
Yes, UMD used that map a couple years beyond the point they probably should have. However, considering it was developed in the mid-90s, it was a PHENOMENAL and forward-thinking piece of map design. Of course now, in 2006, we can all do 20-times more on the aesthetic front than was possible with 360-degree/interactive mapping back in the mid-90s. However, I was talking about that map during some of the workshops I was presenting as late as 2001-2002, and it has actually taken the industry longer to get to where it is today (3DStudioMax, SketchUp, etc.) than I thought it would.
Thanks for the kind words related to our old/current site (tonnhaus.com). Our new web site (mapformation.com, to go "live" around March 15) will absolutely blow our old site out of the water. I almost cringe a bit directing people to our old site now that I am so tantalizingly-close to the launch of mapformation.com. We've been working on industry-changing technologies and portfolio presentation techniques non-stop since around October 2005....and I can't wait for people to get a look at the true future of our firm. tonnhaus.com probably does a decent job of showing where we were as a firm in 2003-2004, but a web site overhaul was at least 15-18 months overdue........
Have a good one! Any time you want to "talk shop", I'd love to hear from you!

Babatunde Josèphe (1738 – unknown) was a member of the was a member of the Saint-Domingue Brotherhood of Assassins. The son of Adéwalé and Bastienne Josèphe, he eventually fathered a son named Eseosa, who was also inducted into the Brotherhood. He is an ancestor to Milton Jones.
Conceived after a night of passion between his parents in Port-au-Prince, Babatunde only learned about his father when he was fifteen. Babatunde met Adéwalé when he returned to Port-au-Prince after the earthquake of 1751, and began training under his father to become a member of the Assassin Order.[1]

In our modern world, despite having many technological advancements in both pharmaceutics and medicine, our modern-day scientists still have not completely eliminated our bodies from developing infections from different infectious agents, namely bacteria, virus, protozoa, and fungi. Although we have highly effective medicines to help treat any infection that we develop, we still cannot remove the fact that we are not free from getting any infections. Even so, this can still be considered a blessing when you compare it to the olden times when people did not have any idea as to what is causing their diseases along with what to take in order to treat their infections.
These days, even though we have not completely freed ourselves from our body's susceptibility to infection, we are still very fortunate that we have highly effective medicines that can help treat even the nastiest infections. For fungal infection, the most used and frequently prescribed is fluconazole 150 mg. Fluconazole 150 mg is highly effective in treating fungal infections as the main treatment characteristic of fluconazole 150 mg is inhibiting the nutrition of the fungi so as to weaken it and eventually purge it from the body's circulation.
Of course, in order to completely get rid of any remnants of the infection from the body, it is important to complete the course of fluconazole 150 mg antifungal drug that you will be taking. If your doctor has prescribed you to take fluconazole 150 mg every 8 hours (3x per day) for a duration of 5 days, it is vital that you make it a point that you complete your fluconazole 150 mg course medication to ensure that your body is thoroughly cleansed and rid of the infectious agent. Even if you already feel well within the 3rd day, make it a point to still complete your given antifungal course treatment regimen.
Normally, for fungal infections that lies only on the skin, you do not need to take any antifungal drugs like fluconazole 150 mg as treatment. All you need to do is use antifungal creams or ointments to eliminate the infection. However, if the condition of the infection has progressed due to neglect and disregard for immediate treatment, it is likely that the fungi has buried itself deeper into the skin making use of antifungal ointments and creams rather useless as the treatment effect of the remedy does not reach further over the embedded microorganism. To treat such, the use of combination treatment becomes necessary. This means you will need to use fluconazole 150 mg for the embedded fungi and antifungal liniment for the external infection.

Tabletop Game Design for Video Game Designers uses Kingdom Rush to illustrate how one might go about creating a "comparable basis." Establishing a comparable basis is a useful technique for determining an initial design for a game's various numerical data (such as what each type of tower costs in Kingdom Rush).
Here is a "tower pricing" spreadsheet that I created to work through the comparable basis I present in the book. It should be noted, that the spreadsheet is my own creation and not necessarily how Kingdom Rush's designers went about pricing the game's towers. Even so, it is a useful example of an important designing technique.

As the Denver Broncos wrap up the preseason the future of many players is on the line. Some of the players who are on the brink this year are new (and had little chance to begin with) while others are more familiar with Broncos fans and may come as a bit of a shock. Especially to those who didn't get a chance to attend the open practices held at Dove Valley this August.
The most discussed of all the players that could be released this year is former number one draft pick Knowshon Moreno. The former George Bulldog was a surprise number one pick from the beginning and outside of a few flashes here and there, his career has been a huge disappointment. Being hurt last season and being charged with a DUI while driving a car with the license plate "sauced" has not helped his cause. Knowshon has become a player who is frequently hurt and someone who prefers to bounce around versus attacking the hole which we know John Fox prefers. To his credit he has become a descent pass blocker and catches the ball well out of the backfield but the negatives have far out weighed the positive in the first few years of his disjointed career.
Two others who are fighting hard for a spot are former Norte Dame safety David Bruton and wide receiver Matthew Willis. Both have been nice "fill in" players for the Broncos the past few years but neither has proved to be a game changing type player. Because both are awesome at special teams, many believe they can save their spots but both are certainly sweating it out, hoping not to get the dreaded call to the coaches office.
Probably the biggest disappointment for coaches and fans so far this season is the lack luster play of back up quarterback Caleb Hanie. The former Colorado State star has consistently looked the worst of the four quarterbacks and needs to play well against the 49ers and Cardinals to save his job. The Broncos had hoped Hanie would be the back up in case Peyton Manning got hurt but every day and every practice that looks more doubtful. It appears John Elway's joking press conference comment about having "no plan B" was spot on because Caleb Hannie is playing more like "plan F" and will not likely make the team.
Some other positions that will make the coaching staff think long and hard on decision day is the wide receivers and tight ends. With the addition of Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen all other tight ends are on high alert because the Broncos will likely only keep three. Do you go with the solid blocking Virgil Green or the promising Julius Thomas, who is just now recovering from an nasty ankle sprain that took him out of most of 2011? At the receiver position Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas, Brandon Stokley, and Bubba Caldwell look to be safe so Jason Hill, Mattew Willis, and the raw rookie Gerell Robinson will fight it out for the final position. D'Andre Goodwin and Eric Page have already been released and Greg Orton and Tyler Grisham look to be long shots at best.
To most of us, the last two games of the preseason will merely look like a tune up for the regular season but for many of the Broncos players this may be the end of the line. So every play, and every down will count. Their lively hood depends on it.

Thanks to all of you who joined the Fans of The Poop Parenting Blog page on Facebook. We received almost 200 fans in the first 48 hours, which greatly exceeded expectations. It also puts me within striking distance of my trash-talking office-mate Tim Goodman, who has somewhere in the neighborhood of 325 fans on his TV Talk Machine podcast Facebook fan page. I think he got nervous, because he started a page for his The Bastard Machine blog as well.
(Did I mention that this is what starting our Facebook page was all about? Just one big pissing contest between me and Tim, just like the bet Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche made in "Trading Places.")
Totally kidding. Never take anything I write in parenthesis seriously. The first few days have been a lot of fun and I'm grateful we have so many fun people who regularly check out the blog. Here are some personal highlights:
— I love the "Poopers You Know" feature that hel started on our Facebook discussion board, after realizing that she was once Poop commenter NoBeMamacita's drama teacher. I don't think either of them knew this until they saw each other's real identities on the Facebook page.
— The Poop goes global! I already knew we had fans in Hawaii, Texas, Illinois, Nevada and Alaska, but Brazil?!? Seeing how many readers we have outside the state was really great.
— I like the way everyone started writing on the Wall and "outing" themselves with their Poop commenter handle, which was a cool way for everyone to reveal their real names and photos.
— It's not too late to join! Just search in the Facebook search window under "Fans of The Poop parenting blog."

Howdy Everyone,
My name's Naraku. I know what you are all are thinking. What's a weimaraner doing
posting a guest blog on BeagleDaily?
It's all thanks to Lexie for believing in what we are doing at Pup Protector.
Here's the deal.
A few years ago my dad was walking me in the early morning and got hit by a car. (He's fine now)
We feel that this all could have been avoided if we had something to catch the
drivers attention so the car could see us in the dark!
When I'm out on our night walks and i see bikers pass by in the night, they seem to
always be wearing blinking lights and reflectors. They seem to understand the danger… we want
that to be the case for dog walkers too.
To solve this problem we designed a series of high quality LED dog leashes and collars.
These Leashes and collars are stylish, durable, easy to clean and replacing the batteries is simple.
We made a short video explaining our product and our mission in more detail.
[trafficplayer_youtube_video width="640″ height="385″ src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0VbD67LlJzc?&autohide=0&controls=1&hd=0&rel=0&showinfo=0″ ][/trafficplayer_youtube_video]
The video has been getting a lot of views and good feedback.
I guess technically I'm a movie star now.
Not too shabby.
Guest Author Spencer & Naraku Jensen Bio:
3 years ago Trevor, was the victim of a hit and run driver while we were on our morning walk. Trevor
was a former standout basketball player and hasn't been able to play since the accident, which
was just one of the many effects of the hit.
His roommate and brother Spencer saw how this tragic incident caused a dark period in
Trevor's life and after years of standing by and watching other people fall victim to these
incidents they decided to make a stand. In America, on average, a pedestrian is hit every 8
minutes. They both quit their jobs and took on the cause full time.
Trevor along with his brother Spencer decided to create a line of ultra-bright lighted LED
leashes and collars to make dogs and dog walkers more visible in the night and early morning.
After failed attempts to gain support from banks and other funding institutions, they
decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign and let the dog community decide whether this was a worthy cause.
The campaign launched March 12th with a goal of 60,000 dollars in order to meet
production goals. The campaign ends April 3rd. Please help them by buying a wonderful collar, leash or simply making a donation at their website www.pupprotector.com

How to ApplyFor
both the subsidized and unsubsidized Federal Stafford loans, you must
first submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), as
described under Grants – How to Apply.
After the financial aid process has been completed, you must submit the following to complete your loan file: • A completed Triton College Loan Request Form • A completed Master Promissory Note (online at www.studentloans.gov) • An Entrance Interview for all new borrowers (online at www.studentloans.gov)
For a more detailed explanation of the Direct Stafford loan application process, please see the information posted on www.studentloans.gov.
Federal Direct Student Loan Program (Direct Stafford Loan)
Loan Repayment
150% Subsidized Usage Limit
Important Information for New Borrowers (Students with No Outstanding Federal Loan Balance as of July 1, 2013)There is a limit on the maximum period of time that students can receive Direct Subsidized Loans. If this limit applies, you may not receive Direct Subsidized Loans for more than 150% of the length of your academic program. The maximum eligibility period is based on the published length of your current academic program (available in the course catalog).
If you are enrolled in a two-year associate degree program, the maximum period for which you can receive Direct Subsidized Loans is three years (150% of 2 years = 3 years). If you are a part-time student or enrolled for only one term, your maximum eligibility period will be adjusted based on your enrollment.
Because your maximum eligibility period is based on the length of your current program of study, the maximum eligibility period can change if you change to a program that has a different length. Also, if you receive Direct Subsidized Loans for one program and change to another program, the Direct Subsidized Loans received for the earlier program will generally count toward your new maximum eligibility period.
If you do not complete your program within your maximum eligibility period and you enroll in the same program, you will become responsible for the interest that accrues on your Direct Subsidized Loans, from the date of your enrollment after meeting the 150% limit.
For a more detailed explanation of the 150% Subsidized Usage Limit, please see the information provided by the Department of Education: 150PercentFactSheet.pdf.
