The most appropriate dosage form for administering drugs to pediatric patients is the low-dose liquid format, computed through the patient's kilogram body weight. Pediatric patients are generally small in body size and thus a very low dose is sufficient in attaining the desired clinical outcome. For adults, the maximum dose in tablet or capsule form can be administered.
(2) A drug in tablet or capsule form easily disintegrates in the stomach and the contents are further dissolved as it passes through into the small intestines, where absorption takes place.
(3) Pharmacokinetics pertains to the action of drugs in terms of absorption, as well as metabolism within the human body (Sharan et al., 2009). This field also deals with the distribution of the drug and its eventual excretion.
(4) Pharmacokinetics involves a specific order of activities with regards to a drug because it describes the actual steps that occur during drug intake. Before the actual effect of a drug takes place, the active ingredient needs to be absorbed through the intestinal lining and further distributed to the target areas of the body. Metabolism then occurs which is the incorporation of the drug to the target areas. Any excess or used drugs are then removed from the body through the process of excretion.

(5) The chemical nature of the drug determines the absorption ability of a drug. Lipophilic drugs generally enter the cells quickly, due to its similarity in composition to the plasma membrane. High dosages can also increase the absorption of a drug into cells.
(6) Pharmacodynamics pertains to the effect of a drug in terms of its biochemistry and physiological action in the human body.
(7) One main action of a drug is to stimulate the human body to perform a specific action (Kang and Lee, 2009). Another type of drugs is the depressant, which slows down specific activities in the body. There are also cytotoxic drugs that kill specific cells in the body. Other drugs are aimed to replace certain substances that are lacking or at very low levels in the body.
(8) The general relationship observed is that when a drug response is attained, the serum concentration of that same drug is found to be at its highest dose. Drug manufacturing is mainly based on the preparation of capsules or tablets that contain the minimum amount of the drug that can exert a response in the human body (Najib, 2009).
(9) An adverse effect of a drug occurs when there are more than enough amounts that are circulating in the body of a patient. The excess amount can cause damage to the liver of an individual (Marin et al., 2009). Drug-drug interactions pertain to the effect of one drug on another, if they are administered at the same time. The presence of another drug may either interfere or enhance the effect of another drug and thus it is important for a physician to know all the drugs that a patient takes before prescribing or administering any new drugs.

Wing Tsun at the beach in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia
Steve McMinn and Brian Yam enjoy it every time to pose for some great photos. On Saturday, August 16th 2008 we got together for the eighth annual open air class at Kitsilano beach in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. All members of Wing Tsun Kung Fu Vancouver, who could make it, were working with enthusiasm on the special topic of this event. What more can you ask for: great weather, beach, water, a constant breeze of fresh air, great views of the mountains ... and the two hours just flew by. Thanks to all who brought food and drinks for our potluck picnic, which resumed hours later in a nearby coffee shop.
Steve McMinn posted on Wednesday, August 20th 2008 a blog entry about our beach class. Please click here!

Motivation, Music & Kung Fu? And a great Wing Tsun school in Calgary!
Much has been written about motivation. There is almost no book store, no magazine stand, no TV show, Internet e-zine you can walk past or scan through, that doesn't give some advice on motivation, positive thinking, re-evaluating one's goals, and the list goes on. Yet sometimes we all fall into the trap, that there appears to be nothing that gets you going. You might be waiting for this "something" that pulls you out of the hole.
In Kung Fu we can find all kinds of motivational sayings, or at least words, explanations to show you the way. Kung Fu is "hard work", ... right? But who wants to work hard all the time? Where is the fun?
Come on, for most people, training a martial art is a hobby, one of the many activities in increasingly busy lives. You cannot expect anyone, to constantly find new sources of encouragement, new ways of motivation. This is largely one of the jobs of the instructor.
Several months ago, in mid April, I followed an invitation to give a seminar at a, actually THE Wing Tsun school in Calgary. I've met the instructor, German Ferrer, once before. A very friendly and patient man, with many decades of learning and teaching experience in various martial arts, and a busload of enthusiasm for Wing Tsun.
During private lessons, a group class, and the seminar I taught "my" Wing Tsun version, a culmination, or better the result of the teachings I received from my WT instructors. Some of my most influential instructors have been masters like Leo Czech, Peter Vilimek, Keith Kernspecht, Emin Boztepe, Salih Avci, also Heinrich "the cat" Pfaff, as well as many others.
Regardless of the exercise, we worked during the Calgary Wing Tsun seminar on body structure, the connection of muscle groups throughout the body to produce eventually whiplash-like punches, short range power. By showing how to include movements of the hip, the spine, relating for example to the Cham-Kiu and Biu-Tze form, we began to work on a (almost) rhythm on how to move constantly, to bring dynamic energy to "the table".
When training how to use the shoulder, one student exclaimed very excited: "Wow this reminds me of boxing!" Well, what is Wing Tsun? Chinese boxing! Referring to some teaching versions I have unfortunately seen over the years students being exposed to, … If a instructor forces his students into a inflexible training stance, doesn't let them use their legs, hips, shoulders and more to strike, doesn't allow his students to actually hit, well than even a great system like Wing Tsun turns into a lethargic gymnastic.
We also worked on a version of the first form, based on the original Health or ChiKung Siu-Nim-Tau form by Grandmaster Leung Ting. Over time now, many very strong students, experienced martial artists, even Wing Chun/Ving Tsun practitioners, fitness trainers, had to admit that this particular Siu-Nim-Tau version is one of the nastiest workouts they had encountered.
The seminar was based on core concepts of performance, how to include fluidity of motion, flexibility throughout while observing proper positions, distance, timing, balance, the ability to deliver power, … and much more.
Working on fluidity, dynamic, the ability to remain flexible and loose under stress, the how-to of training the forms, we started talking about methods of motivation. There is something very simple. Everyone likes to listen to music. Music to accompany a fitness routine, listening to your I-Pod while running, that's old news.
There is nothing wrong with putting on your favourite music while practising your Siu-Nim-Tau, Cham-Kiu or other forms. Time flies when you go through hours of otherwise possibly :-) agonizing Chi-Sau practise. If somebody sees that as a sacrilege in regard to old Kung Fu traditions, well, go with the times. Life is too short. You can be responsible, pay attention to details of your workout, and train hard, while there is some music in the background.
I had a great time in Calgary, experienced a wonderful class of enthusiastic instructors and students (you guys rocked ;-), and very much enjoyed the hospitality of German and his wife Wanda, his brother Carlos, who came all the way from Texas. I most definitely look forward to the next seminar on September 12th and 13th 2008. If you are in the Calgary area, contact German Ferrer for more details. It's a great team.
So, to get your next workout going, please find below a few tunes to choose from. Motivation starts sometimes with little steps. Listen to some music. Let yourself get "infected" by the enthusiasm of your fellow training partners, other students, instructors. Give a little, take a little. Have fun and work hard!
Check out the following four videoclips at Veoh.com. Download the music videoclips to your computer, I-Pod, or watch them on VeohTV, a small downloadable application that lets you watch the full-length video.
1. Stuck in the 80's? Why not listening to one hour of 1980's hits?
2. More up-to-date? How about a Dancemix, 39 hits of 2007?
3. Are you the classic type? Here is a wonderful version of Antonio Vivaldi, The Four Seasons, by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Herbert von Karajan.
4. Need a steady rythm? Get going with the Modern Talking Space Mix, 10 hits in 20 minutes.

Above photo shows a moment from our recent summer seminar. While on a raffle ticket campaign for his school, Queen Victoria Annex in Vancouver, my son got a photo, posing with advanced members and trainer team at Wing Tsun Kung Fu Vancouver. In March we last featured a photo of the trainer team. It was part 1 of a series on "ideas for your Wing Tsun Chi-Sau training". Part 4, the conclusion, follows this week! Stay tuned!

About different training methods - summer seminar at Wing Tsun Vancouver
Short video from our summer seminar. Jennifer is having fun with Wing Tsun Instructor and Fitness Trainer Steve McMinn (www.fit4real.ca). The continuous repetition of the Pak-Sau/Punch exercise is purely about stamina and will power. The repetition and intensity creates quickly awareness of the muscle groups involved. ;-) Naturally, in a self-defense situation this combination would only occur once or twice.
I am painfully aware of my 'blog absence' and vow to post and post and post during the next weeks. :-) Steve McMinn has raised the bar and has been doing a great job with his Real Fitness blog. Have a look at the photos, read what he has to say about the recent Wing Tsun summer seminar: first day, second day.
Yes, once again it was time for one of our three annual seminars here at Wing Tsun Kung Fu Vancouver, the first Canadian Wing Tsun branch. Each seminar week features a unique topic, puts the spotlight on a particular way of training, or another particular aspect of this exciting self-defense system.
After a recent successful seminar at Wing Tsun Calgary, it was a pleasure to greet German Ferrer, head instructor in Calgary. He especially enjoyed working out with our Edmond "wooden arms" Chow, member of the Vancouver trainer team. After having heard about the incredibly friendly atmosphere at the Calgary WingTsun seminar, we are all looking forward to the Fall seminar in Calgary.
Back to last week's seminar. Exercises for all participants involved working with a shock stick (Yawara) and with a rubber knife. But the weapons were merely tools to support developing ideas for different ways of striking. Building muscle memory, understanding the linking of muscle groups, leads to one of the key issues of Wing Tsun, might I dare say a key issue of any martial art.
What am I talking about? The somewhat rare ability, to seamless connect footwork and hand-actions. The ability to explode into the beginning of the first attack. Also, many students got the point, once again, that a world of techniques doesn't do anything, if you don't develop 'knockout power'. Afterwards, when the seminar is over, it feels so good if you have driven yourself to exhaustion during a seminar. Sweat, loads of sweat, moving your shoulders, non-stop footwork, thousands of punches and strikes, working on bridging the distance safely, stopping the attacker from inflicting harm on you.
Don't forget, Kung Fu is Chinese boxing, and there are certain rules of physics that any martial arts has to follow. One of them the physics of how to develop true punching power.
Until next time, have fun and train hard!

Ideas for your Wing Tsun Chi-Sau training - part 3 of 4
In today's world we face an enormous amount of information; it's the age of "über-information". Everything is easily accessible. If on video, DVD, youtube, googlevideo, just about any Wing Tsun form or exercise can be found. Well, as long as the actual hands-on training doesn't come too short. But this has not always been the case. Not too long ago, only in 1988 did my back then WT instructor Sifu Peter Vilimek several times attempt to mail me a Wing Tsun videotape from West Berlin. East German authorities intercepted and confiscated it every time. VCR's were also an absolute novelty and rare luxury item in the East. It so happened that around that time I bought for a friend a simple VCR on East Berlin's black market for more than $7000.00! Diplomats from 'third world' countries made a killing smuggling certain items from West to East Berlin. Finally, Sifu Vilimek smuggled the video tape into the East. He even offered the East Berlin border guards to inspect the well-filled diaper bag during a family visit. Hidden under dirty diapers did the Wing Tsun tape find its way into the East. One evening then did I surprise my students by connecting the $7000.00 VCR to my mini black and white TV and we started watching the tape over and over again for hours. Above video clip of the first public Wing Tsun demonstration by Emin Boztepe in West Germany came first on that video tape.
At about 0:48 you can watch the Chi-Sau part of the Wing Tsun Kung Fu demonstration in above clip. In a real life fight you may also have to deal with "über-information". Does the opponent attack first with the left or right, straight or round punch, fake or full power, to a high, mid-level or low target, kicks, steps, jumps, combinations??? ...
Exercise 3 – Pressure:
So far we have talked about distance, speed and now today about pressure. Adaptation is the bridging idea behind all exercises. Train hard on feeling home in any distance, at various speeds, facing any amount of strength. Enjoy your real life training!

Ideas for your Wing Tsun Chi-Sau training - part 2 of 4
Chi-Sau exercises start with various levels of Dan-Chi-Sau, using only one arm, continues with Poon-Sau, the rolling arms, and finally leads to the actual Chi-Sau, using both arms for different attacks and defenses. Bruce Lee introduced Chi-Sau to the public during his first demonstration. Invited by Ed Parker did Bruce Lee participate in the Long Beach International Tournament in 1964, was discovered and subsequently offered the role of Kato, the masked crusader in the 1965 TV series "The Green Hornet". Above video clip features some of the Chi-Sau sequences, starting at about 3:00 into the clip.
Different 'wing chun' lineages place importance on different aspects of the Chi-Sau exercises. In my many years of learning and teaching Wing Tsun I have seen that besides the benefit of developing reflex-like responses many other important advantages begin to form.
One builds over time a good feel for balance, resilient against attempts of being pulled or pushed. It promotes the linkage of muscle groups throughout the body, helping towards a fluid and flexible movement. Another result of Chi-Sau training is an increasing 'short range' striking power. Timing and fine-tuned feeling for distance, co-ordination between hand/arm and footwork, better positions, angles and many other accomplishments make the Chi-Sau training a well-rounded exercise.
Quite a few enjoy Chi-Sau even as a different kind of fitness exercise, a workout from hell you can't get in any gym! Why not? Not everybody's goal or intention is to become a Kung Fu fighter or Wing Tsun professional. Many look around for different types of exercises, new workout challenges. Again … Why not?
Now today to another set of ideas to help you improve your Chi-Sau training:
Let's meet again soon for the third set of ideas on how to improve your Chi-Sau training.

Ideas for your Wing Tsun Chi-Sau training - part 1 of 4
Above photo features the members of the Trainer Team at Wing Tsun Kung Fu Vancouver. From left to right: (standing) Sebastian Molnar, Tony W. Leung, Philip Lee, Rob Grylls, Ciprian Constantinescu, Gary Kaiser, Steve McMinn, Edmond Chow, Siavash Panahandeh - (sitting) Brian Yam, Sifu Ralph Haenel, Nilo LidaIdeas for your Wing Tsun Chi-Sau training:
Even within the various 'wing chun' lineages the meaning and execution of Chi-Sau exercises are differently interpreted. I also remember seminars given by my Sifu and Sigung where the same exercise looked every time different. Identical verbal instructions along with varying technical demonstrations of a Chi-Sau section.
Wing Tsun offers unique Chi-Sau sections, which usually don't exist in other 'wing chun' lineages. You could also call them two-man forms, which combine in each section a certain number of techniques, attacks and defenses, counter-attacks and counter-defenses. Chi-Sau sections can guarantee that the instructor does not forget to teach certain scenarios, does not exclude certain techniques or applications that he/she personally dislikes (or didn't train enough!).
Assuming the knowledge of Wing Tsun Chi-Sau exercises, here today a few thoughts on how to make your training more effective. I often encourage my students to purposely make mistakes. If you always try to do everything by the book, you might be surprised when your skills misfire when working with a, to say the least, non-cooperative training partner.
Exercise 1 – Distance:

Wing Tsun Kung Fu seminar impressions - Exercises in adaptation.
Above you will find a few impressions from our 2008 Jumpstart Seminar at Wing Tsun Kung Fu Vancouver. Exercises serve at different times various purposes. Often it is difficult to interpret the meaning of a certain exercise by just watching a video.
Many also forget that any martial art is man-made. It is OK to have different opinions, it is OK to differ in interpretations. Besides the point of encountering more politics in martial arts than in politics, one unfortunately may find even in the most flexible martial art often astoundingly stiff and immovable opinions and views. So, let's work on implementing the fluidity and flexibility of Wing Tsun in our approach to daily life as well as our attitude towards others.
Even professional martial arts organizations show their true face when they talk about leaving members as traitors, as the incompetent. When they talk about revealing certain "high" techniques only to the worthwhile, to the chosen ones. Haven't we heard this before in history?
Wing Tsun Kung fu is in its nature about adaptation to unforeseen circumstances. So, how does the reality check of your adaptation skills turn out?
Let's not just work on our technique, being 'open-minded' in our physical responses, but also respect the views of others.

Man Who Built Death Ray To Kill Obama And Muslims Gets 30 Years In Prison
His device would unleash deadly amounts of radiation and target Muslims and politicians.
An upstate New York man who with a co-worker tried to build a "death ray" gun he hoped to use on Muslims and politicians has been sentenced to 30 years in prison. Glendon Scott Crawford, 52, was convicted of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction and distributing information about weapons of mass destruction. Along with fellow conspirator Eric Feight, with whom he worked at the General Electric plant in Schenectady, Crawford tried to build and use a device that would release deadly amounts of radiation, which would be targeted at mosques, Islamic schools, the New York State governor's mansion, and even President Obama.
The Navy veteran first came under law enforcement scrutiny after contacting a local synagogue, telling them he had a plan to "help Jews get rid of their enemies," according to a witness for the prosecution. Like many on the far right fringe, he felt America was under an existential threat from Muslim immigrants and he wanted to "take his country back." He later contacted a Grand Wizard for the Ku Klux Klan, hoping he would take him up on his offer to set off the device, however, the Klansman turned out to be an undercover FBI informant.
In taped recordings, Crawford described his device as "Hiroshima on a light switch," and that it would "get rid of all the medical waste lying around the country," "medical waste" being code for Muslims.
U.S. District Judge Gary L. Sharpe said at the sentencing hearing that "this is a classic case of domestic terrorism." Crawford's co-defendant Eric Feight pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of providing material support to terrorists, for which he was sentenced to eight years in prison. Prosecutors had sought a life sentence, but Crawford will serve a mandatory 25 years behind bars and will be supervised for the remainder of his life upon release. [Source: Crimefeed/Photo: FBI]

Search the web on virtually any topic and you can't but be amazed by the amount of information available. Pages and pages of it – right?
Now while virtually every search produces hundreds if not thousands of pages of results, over 90 percent of those searching for information never look beyond page 1 in results. And between 60-70% don't get past the top 3 results on page 1.
So the goal of good SEO? Why to get on page 1 of course!
Can anyone get there if they work hard enough?
Sadly no. There are just too many players vying for that prime real estate.
And now there is another factor.
Remember the book 1984? No? Well it predicted a future that placed all of mankind under the spell of Big Brother, aka big government.
Something haunting similar is now occurring and it is taking the form of media company consolidations. What was once a world of thousands of independent newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations and more has been reduced to a literal handful of mega-media companies.
And those media companies are using their considerable asset reach to improve the page rank of myriads of pages on virtually every topic under the sun.
How are they doing it?
Remember the tactic called "link chains" or "link wheels"? They were schemes once used to game search engine algorithms that involved creating scores of backlinks between many websites in the chain. Google and the other search engines still describe the tactic as "black hat". In Google's case – the Hummingbird algorithm is supposed to catch and punish those using this tactic.
Well – the mega media companies are now gaming the system by linking their many media outlets in a reciprocal chain. The impact – these same companies are slowly gaining control of page one for many, many topics.
To put it another way – media consolidations have created a situation where perceived "information choice" is not choice at all. We are all increasingly seeing the information that various special interests want us to see.
If you ask us – that is a dangerous model in a democracy.

As I mentioned previously in my dialogue of Ex Libris , by Anne Fadiman, I've been desirous to learn Virginia Woof's The Common Reader Within the preface to Fadiman's guide, she quotes Woolf's definition of a standard reader, and I needed to share it. Secure a Type I-20 journey endorsement out of your college. This is usually legitimate for a one-12 months period from the date it was signed. Additional documents may be required for presentation, akin to a letter from an employer confirming that you are employed or supplied employment and supporting financial documentation. We're investing in a new era of courseware that adapts in refined ways to college students' learning needs. We're additionally supporting sport-primarily based learning that generates rich data about students' progress and challenges them with exactly what they should be taught subsequent.
College students in online BSN program don't need to have advanced laptop. Abilities that are vital for on-line college students are conversant in web, word, excel, PowerPoint, typing skills will clearly assist in discussions. Most colleges used their very own learning administration system to handle on-line program, these programs offer guidance and also assist-desk assist if pupil encounter any issue.
Additionally I believe it might be value discussing in additional depth the covert nature of Cultural Marxism. Many (the bulk, even) of the individuals contributing to Cultural Marxist initiatives don't do so consciously. The nature of the beast is that it depends on social engineering and refined, behind-the-scenes manipulation, with a purpose to affect the ideas, attitudes and values of members of society with out being detected. By design, then, it's difficult to link a given drawback to its source without a clear understanding and awareness of Cultural Marxism, its origins, and its motives. We should be ever vigilant.
In the case of the talent improvement half, the assorted programs had been launched which induced Auto trade campus placement within the main institutes of India. Various universities, institutes and academies are enforcing college students to carry out higher of their education and due to this student are getting good jobs. Another specialization course like in Automotive Methods is designed and developed in line with the calls for of business.
Outline raw help. As we already established, for accounting purposes previous to 2010 a big proportion of help is within the type of pupil loan subsidies, which are not recorded as subsidies unless they fall into default and the issuing bank is pressured to take the loss. In such cases the binding liability then turns into a subsidy to the Gov't and is recorded as such. This doesn't change that fact that university are effectively conscious of the capacity of scholars to borrow without collateral in massive quantities, and due to this fact have incentive to raise tuition effectively in excess of inflation…which is strictly what they have achieved. With a purpose to quantify uncooked assistance…it is advisable incorporate each single student mortgage 12 months over yr.

Thank you Gord Roche!
A heartfelt THANK YOU to Gord Roche, organizer of the Jeff Roche & Hannah-Gordon Roche Memorial Golf Tournament, and to all who contributed to the success of this charity tournament throughout the years!
Gord presented Cindy I'Anson, Woodview's Executive Director, with a cheque for $14,000!
This generous donation amount was raised at the 9th (and final) tournament on June 2nd. It will benefit the Woodview Learning Centre, an alternative school placement for children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
We will be honouring Gord Roche for his long standing support with something special to be announced at our next Annual General Meeting in October. Stay tuned for details!

So much for a steady stream of blog content, been bed bound with flu for over two weeks. First bout of actual illness in half a year, so nothing to complain about really. Damn annoying regardless..........
Got some completely new content coming up soon, as well as a tutorial or too once Amazon and Ebay packages come in though. Let's just say I'm hoping to get some winter and ice-themed tricks sorted out for some of my more wintery models. These include some Anyaral warbands that have been awaiting paint for a few months now and last week's Norsgard Kickstarter delivery.
The Norsgard stuff has me really impressed as well. Just a handful of models, fun, interesting rules and tons and tons of details with virtually zero clean-up work. More info on these and the game in a future post, but there's definitely a lot of very cool stuff to work on in the range.
Much more important and meaningful though, got a set of charity minis that need attention as well. As some of you may know I help out on the support team for the Tales of a Tabletop Skirmisher-Facebook group (link). Group admin and fanatic hobbyist / superhero-fan Handybadger (blog) is leading the drive for a charity project Downs Syndrome Association:
Over the last couple of years we have been amazed at the support and
back up there is out there for children with DS. Between the Portage
workers, hospital staff and therapists they cover every worry and need
you may have.
Because of all this we want to give something back and ToaTS seems like the ideal platform to do that.
The idea behind Little Heroes for Little Heroes is that people donate
painted Hero miniatures and they all get auctioned off with every penny
going to the Downs Syndrome Association.
As an added incentive, we are hoping a few gaming companies will help us
out with some goodies. These will be given away as prizes for things
like best painted, most raised, highest donation and such. Some could
even be auctioned off as well.
A couple of companies like Impudent Mortal and Multiverse Gaming have
already stepped forward with goodies including terrain and paint racks.
If this sounds interesting to you please spread it around. The more
gamers and companies that see this and take part, the more we raise for a
fantastic cause!!!!!"
Another great opportunity for the community to do what they do best, build and paint awesome minis, for a great cause. I'll be supporting the project with a handful of random giveaway goodies and four miniatures:
- Hellboy-conversion,
- Rocket Raccoon with magnetized base and exchangeable accessories,
- 'Dodge this'-laser beam superhero,
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-crew.
More on these later in the week, including information on where these minis came from and/or what models and bits were used to build them. Now back to clean-up and paint prep!

The SkypePhone S1 from 3 allows you to add custom background wallpaper. You can use jpg, gif or png files as wallpaper for your phone.
The full screen size is 176 pixels wide by 220 pixels high.
However, the main screen on the phone always shows the soft-key panel (the Launcher and Planet3 buttons). This means the background wallpaper dimensions can only be 176 pixels by 200 pixels. You should remember this when creating your own wallpaper for the 3 SkypePhone.
Here are some examples using the Otherlinks site theme.
This is our Greeting (startup) wallpaper.
This is our main wallpaper, including a black background at the top to highlight the Skype and 3 phone icons.
This is a simple screen so you can see when the phone is shutting down. We chose blue to complement the colour of the keypad backlights.
You can save these images to your desktop, then upload them to your SkypePhone S1 via USB or Bluetooth.
Remember, if you create your own wallpaper for the phone, the Greeting and Shutdown screens have 176x220 pixels, but the main wallpaper has only 176x200 pixels.

Team Captains

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
High school sports are almost always the center of attention, with dances, parades, and spirit weeks centered around them. And to the athletes, the greatest honor is becoming team captain. But what goes into becoming captain?
Depending on the sport, the process by which the team captain is chosen is typically different in some aspects but still relatively the same across all sports with similar virtues being a common factor.
"We let our athletes vote for their captains at the beginning of the season," said Rhinelander High School football coach Chris Ferge. "Our players have to decide that when they vote but I believe that attendance at all team functions, weight room attendance, seniority, volunteering, grades, participation in other sports should all be factors."
Regarding whether or not there is ever any controversy sparked over who the team captain is, Chris Ferge, who has 13 years coaching experience in totality said "I am sure that not everyone is happy over the decision, but it is still a fair decision nonetheless." When asked if team captains are subject to change throughout the season, Chris Ferge responded "I would be open to changing captains if our staff and team felt like our captains were not holding their own, but that has never happened."
Rather than letting the players vote over team captain as Chris Ferge does, it is chosen by the coaching staff. "It isn't a popularity contest" said longtime head basketball coach Derek Lemmens " I look at a number of variables when deciding who to make team captain such as team dynamics, player commitment, leadership ability, communication skills, coach-ability, and other traits to determine who will best fit in the captain position."
Lemmens later expanded stating "I want an extension of their coach. I want players that will lead, set an example, and be responsible for the team and their teammates. They can't be afraid of confrontation and are willing to hold their teammates accountable on and off the court. They set the example themselves and see their role as an important responsibility. They are not perfect, but are willing to be responsible for their actions as well."
When asked whether or not team captains are subject to change throughout the season, Lemmens responded "I have never done this, but it would definitely happen if a player didn't fulfill their role within the position."
In conclusion, becoming team captain is more of an honor than one might think. Lots of thoughts and considerations made by the coach and team go into it, along with the responsibility and rewards it brings.

All music composed and programmed by Michael Robinson for performance and recording in real time without any overdubbing or added parts.
Recorded and Mastered by Catharine Wood at the Planetwood Productions studio in Eagle Rock (Los Angeles), California.
Musicians are welcome to perform these compositions with acoustic and/or electronic instruments.
The Lotus Girl is a new name I gave to Symphony No 2, originally scored for full orchestra. It is a highly contrapuntal work with four contrasting movements. The vibraphones used here clearly delineate the individual voices.
Demesne is the last piece I wrote for acoustic instruments. This is a playful, melodic piece that was originally for alto saxophone and piano. I had the opportunity to hear Lee Konitz and Harold Danko sight-read Demesne in Lees Manhattan apartment in 1984.
Evening is an introspective composition originally written for piano.
Kapalua is a landmark composition for myself. It features a highly contrapuntal texture, which I had used previously, but also includes greater use of silence or rests in the individual parts. This achieves greater textural variety, includes passages with only one or two voices. Kapalua is Hawaiian for arms reaching out to the sea, describing the physical shape of a favorite place of mine in Maui.
Long Island City is named for the area of Queens I lived in from 1982 to 1984. Its situated directly across the East River in Queens, with unmatched views of Manhattan. I would jog alongside the river in the early morning before work enjoying the views, including a giant geyser shooting water high into the air from the middle of the river. This piece was originally recorded by Julliard students at the suggestion of Steve Reich, and was originally scored for flute, clarinet and viola.
The Green Hill was originally scored for oboe and contrabassoon. It is a spare composition with an emphasis on space and restraint.

Sums of sixteen and twenty-four triangular numbers
Rocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics , Volume 35 - Issue 3 p. 857- 868
The triangular numbers are the integers m(m + 1)/2, m = 0, 1, 2, . . . . For a positive integer k, we let δ k(n) denote the number of representations of the nonnegative integer n as the sum of k triangular numbers. In 1994, using advanced methods, Kac and Wakimoto gave formulae for δ 16(n) and δ 24(n). Using a recent elementary identity due to Huard, Ou, Spearman and Williams, elementary proofs are given of these formulae. Copyright

Whereas in scheduling production using Preactor 200 FCS software, the secondary resources are modelled as having infinite capacity, in Preactor 300 FCS, these can be either modelled as infinite or finite so is a multiple constraint finite scheduling system. Hence operators, tools and any other secondary constraint can be used as a constraints in generating the schedule. The capacity of ovens, furnaces and tanks can also be modelled using secondary resources to restrict the number batch sizes within them. Attributes of orders or products can be used to restrict which orders can go together say in an oven or tank.
Secondary resources can also be placed in groups and selections made within the group when scheduling. This can be useful for modelling labour that has different skill sets.
More complex resource selection and routing constraints can be defined. You can define preferred resources within a resource group (workcentre). The resource group to be used on an operation step can be changed according the resource selected on the previous step.
Operations can be restricted on when they are placed depending on the timing of previous operations to limit the delay or force a gap between them. The total duration of an operation (including suspensions due to off-shift time) can also be limited automatically. Mid batch times (quantity completed at a specific time) may be entered and end times automatically re-calculated.
Hot spots grid available for tabular display of capacity usage. Schedule analysis tool to compare alternate schedules based on due date compliance, make span and other criteria.
Additional reports available such as order and schedule cost. Calculation uses the usage of resources, shift pattern multipliers and materials.

The fee usually varies from 0.5% (half a point) to 2% (two points) of the loan amount, depending whether the loan was originated in the prime or the subprime market.
An origination fee of 2% on a $200,000 loan is $4,000. In some cases, one has to pay points plus origination fees.
Most banks/brokers charge an Origination Fee to make the loan happen. Some loan structures also call for Discount Points used to buy down the interest rates, temporarily or permanently. Origination Fee and Discount Points are both items listed under lender-charges on the HUD-1 Settlement Statement.
Broker or loan origination fee is paid to the person handling your loan application. This fee can be a set price or can be stated as percentage of your loan amount. The origination fee can be located at the top of your good faith estimate and should be disclosed within 3 days after applying for a home loan. Always ask your lender to quote rates with and without origination fees. Then, discuss your situation and determine which model best meets your needs.
Origination fees are charged by the lender or Broker and are expressed as a percentage of the loan amount. They must be disclosed on the Good Faith Estimate and on the final closing papers, commonly called the HUD (short for "HUD-1 Settlement Statement").
In order for any lender to originate a loan without an origination fee, the interest rate will be higher to make up for that loss of revenue.
Note: An origination fee is not the same as an application fee which is usually charged as well.

text: The latest edition of Popular Music (34/1) has a review of Vinyl by the great popular music scholar Roy Shuker. Happily, he likes the book, saying that it 'makes an important contribution to the now extensive body of work dealing with the development of recorded sound and its cultural implications', and adding that 'A wealth of detail is included, with many informative asides and extended footnotes, all in the service of a frequently insightful general account'. In conclusion he states, 'This study of vinyl as both a recording format and a material artefact is informative, entertaining and thought provoking, showing the complexities which lie behind what are often taken for granted in musical practices and products'.

Learning auto repair may seem daunting if you're not sure how to begin. This article is the best place to begin. This article will help you save time and money.
Check out your mechanic to see if he is A.S.E. certified before allowing him to do any work on your vehicle. They have passed tests and have at least two years experience under their hat. This will ensure that you have the cream of the crop working on your vehicle.
When you arrive at a repair shop, don't be afraid to ask questions. Be sure the questions involve the problems you are having with your car and what you can do to prevent it from happening again. Preventing car problems is a great, money-saving skill to have.
Talk with your technician to determine if they have worked on your car before. If they have, there is a better chance they can help resolve any issues you have.
Your car should be washed regularly so that rust doesn't become a problem. Cars are all destined to rust, but the process can be slowed by keeping salt and chemicals away from the paint whenever you can. Waxing your car helps protect the paint.
Ask for OEM parts. This means that they've come directly from the manufacturer. Generic parts may cost less, but they are not as good. It may cost you more in the end to use generic parts even though you save money now.
If your taillights or headlights burn out, you will save a ton of money. While it's easier in some vehicles than others, it's a whole lot cheaper to do it yourself. Find out if anyone in your family can do it and could pass along their knowledge to you.
It is important to find out about warning signs with your old car, so you do not have to keep going to a mechanic. This, alongside the rest of the information you have read here, can help you in the world of automotive repair. Whenever you experience car problems, keep these tips in mind.

When I first met you you were a squirmy little puppy that used to come visit me with you former owner. She was always trying to get me to let you live here but I was very firm with a "No!"
My thought were WHY would I want to have to be responable for yet another mouth to feed or to put my life on hold just because your situation wasn't the best.
I got to know you over the months and then a year and would take you for a break from your home life as I could tell how happy you were and I felt I was doing my part to help out your owner.
The summer came and the fun we had playing water games with the hose and going to the dog park so you could run around and get your doggy on.
When at last your home life became dangerous I couldn't let you live there any longer so I invited you to come live with your adopted family which now has become your forever home.
You see by letting you into my closed up heart I now realize you have taught me some interesting life lesson but the most important one is this….Sometimes the best gifts in life aren't wrapped up with a pretty bow but come with a black tail and wet nose.
Love Mom

Cairo – The Historic Capital City Of Egypt
Filed under: Travel
Cairo is an extremely engaging city not only as the River Nile is centrally located here, it is also really popular for its shops. Yet there are other reasons why people choose Cairo as a place to visit. The city is most famous for having the oldest conserved architecture like the Three Pyramids and the Sphinx. It is famous because of its historical characteristics and in particular the Pyramids. There are countless people who take a trip to Cairo each and every week.
In order to relax there are lots of places to eat and they typically provide evening entertainment, its quite wonderful seeing people dance their own cultural movements.
There are a large number of shops, hotels and even spa treatments consequently should you be one of the people who would like to treat themselves then you have plenty of options available.
Lots of people enjoy the sunshine consequently as quickly as they arrive here the first thing they do is head for the pool. Several hotels in Cairo now include ocean water in their swimming pools rather than the smelly chlorine and many believe this is a superb idea.
Egypt is a Muslim country and starting at six o'clock each and every morning people pray for the first of five times every day. There is a Mohamed Ali Mosque that is the emblem of Cairo. It's known as that due to the fact there was a person known as Mohamed Ali (1769 – 1849) who had been born in Cavalia, Greece and was of Albanian origins. He had been a soldier in the army that were sent to Egypt to liberate the country from Napoleon's occupation. So in the end he assisted to free the nation and now people pray for him.
Cairo is home to about 20 million people as well as some of the most amazing treasures of the ancient world.

I don't want you to feel " lost" when you read this. Being lost is scary, unless you want to be lost, or unless your lost and thirsty and you pull over to get directions at some random ho bunk bar and you start talking to some really nice people there, and you stay for lunch, and then dinner, and then the next day you wake up and you have joined some religion where they only eat hamburgers and french fries-EVER and only work on Tuesday's …I have been lost more than once and THAT scenario right there, has NEVER , ever happened to me, so I plan on getting lost a few more times in my life waiting for it to come true. ( I dream big, what can I say)?
If you don't feel like getting lost today, I totally understand, so here are the links to part one and two of this story, where most likely everyone in my life story has been lost a time or two.
Moving Along- Part 1- My Gypsy heart
Moving along- Part 2- Somewhere on a farm in Iowa,
When I ask my Mom what she did after my Dad tracked her all the way from Iowa to Minnesota, found her at a friend's house, knocked on the door and asked for the keys to his car back…she said this " Hmmm, I don't remember, I know I walked to work for quite some time as I couldn't afford a car."
I think to myself: " Does this explain my innate inability to stay angry with anyone?"
I want my Mother to react with some sort of anger, some deep harbored hurt, for herself, for me and my brother, for someone….but she doesn't, she doesn't focus on the moment of hurt, she focuses on the moment she walked away from it.
Or does she place all the hurts in the bag she carries around with her, like an old lipstick, she flippantly tosses them back in the bag, until years later she leans to one side from the weight of it, the seams start to rip and pretty soon she can no longer stuff the hurt and keep ignoring it like an old lipstick she no longer wears. Sooner or later the bag is going to give, the weight of it is going to leave her unable to walk straight… and trust me it's going to be a mess.
But I am getting ahead of myself…
So, there we were without a car, living with my Grandparents and my Mother walking to work. I don't know how or when but my Mother managed to get another car, another job and a room-mate who didn't mind sharing an apartment with my Mother and her two children under the age of six.
The truth is I don't remember a lot about those days, I could ask my Mom I suppose, but I get my memory from her and I don't think the two of us could put together a timeline longer than a week. So I will tell you the bits and pieces of what I remember from those years living on Skillman ave.
I met my first best friend , her name was Dee Dee and she had red hair. I remember that she was the first person I ever had a sleep over with and I remember leaving early with my blanket in tow in my pajamas to walk home to the apartment building next door where I lived, because I was to afraid too spend the night. ( So technically I guess it wasn't really a sleep over, it was my first " attempted" sleepover.)
I remember that my Mom's room mate took me to a cabin one weekend and bought me a an Indian girl figure with a papoose on the back , I remember taking the baby out of the papoose, holding her in my hands and thinking this was the best moment of my life.
I remember a birthday party that was held for me at the bar/restaurant where my Mom and her room mate both worked and how they made faces on the hamburgers out of ketchup and mustard and pickles for the eyes.
I remember my Mother kept her wedding dress in the garage , and that one weekend we had a torrential rain fall and her wedding dress was ruined.
I often wonder the meaning in what we remember and what we don't. Why silly things like Indian dolls with Papoose's and smiley faces on hamburgers are what stand out in my memory, why the moment my mother's wedding dress was ruined was a memory burned in my brain. I don't remember day to day nuances, in fact truth be told I don't remember my Mother ever having a room-mate when we lived there. I remember small pieces of places like an 8mm film that has been played too much, a memory- then the film catches and it's scratchy and the screen turns black, minutes later it is smooth and clear and it jolts me back.. and I remember something else….
I remember that there was a large metal slide on the playground where all of us kids would walk the twenty stairs to the top of the slide and then slide down the pole , we were playing batman and robin, on one such occasion I was almost to the bottom of the pole when my hands slipped and I fell to my untimely death , that right there was my love for dramatics, I didn't die, obviously …I am still writing this.
However; I did break every bone in my left foot and had to wear a cast clear up to my knee for a year. I think it was a year, see, here is the problem if I ever want to try to publish my book, I think I will have to publish my very own memoir as fiction, because I can't rely on my own memory to be fact. ( by publish my book , of course I mean write it, bind it, but a cover on it and then hire some people to stand on the corner to sell it, you know like those mattress company's hire when they are having a huge blow out mattress sale do…) I can't remember how long I had the cast on, but I can remember this, when my Dad and his new family came to pick my brother and I up for the summer they arrived in a car and because my leg had to be kept straight with the cast on, I remember the ride from MN to IA with my brother, step brother and step sister all crammed in to the back seat corner while I had a very comfortable ride taking up almost the entire seat to myself…just me and my cast.
And this is how I met my new instant family…three hours in a car, four kids in the backseat, the freckles on my new brothers face, his smile, the mischief in his eyes, how I knew he was my kindred spirit without ever speaking a word. How my new sister seemed out of place amungst the four of us, how she looked to her Mother for a sort of unspoken approval, how I knew right there I would never understand her, nor would she understand me.
And so we traveled to Winthrop Iowa to a new house, with a new Mother, a new sister and a new brother. A new life I had to learn to limp in to.
Driving away from the apartment building I lived in with my mother I remember something else, something we are driving away from…. A fragmented memory of my mother's first nervous breakdown…
The film catches, I hold my breath waiting for the next scene.
And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a track
And our sky was unfolding
And it'll never fold back
Sky blue and black
*Jackson Browne / I'm alive album / released 1993

Products & Services
It may sound strange, but we actually love doing removals! Which is how we can take so much stress out of the experience for you. Our aim is to take something that could be complicated and make it straightforward. We will perform the job efficiently and professionally, while making sure to keep on top of costs and reduce your bill and your time as much as possible.
We tailor each move to the individual customer and never use a one size fits all approach. We have different packages for our domestic removals service, depending on what suits your job the most. When you get in touch we can discuss your exact requirement and work out what's best from there.
If you are looking to relocate your office either internally or across the country, you've come to the right place. We have been moving businesses in and out of Brighton for over a decade. Office removals are quite different from home removals and we are experts at both. We move everything from standard offices and artist studios right up to government laboratories, so you can rest assured that your move will be done to the highest quality and specifications.
We know how important it is to keep your business up and running with as little downtime as possible, and our extensive experience in moving businesses will ensure that you won't lose any time at all on your relocation.
We have been supplying boxes all over the city for decades. We only stock the highest quality double walled corrugated cardboard boxes. We never use single walled cardboard boxes as they are too flimsy and lead to your belongings being damaged.
Do you need some rubbish or unwanted items taken away immediately? If so, give us a call to arrange your clearance now.
We are often available at short notice to take care of any waste you have to get rid of. We only operate in an ethical manner, and have the appropriate licenses in order to perform all clearance tasks. We dispose of your rubbish in the most environmentally sound ways. Some items can be recycled, such as unwanted furniture, clothes, kitchenware & bedding. If your items are obsolete or broken, we will break them down and separate them into different groups so that they can be recycled properly.
Customer Testimonials
These local boys have really hit on something great and unique. With their lovely nature, keen eye for detail and amazing removal skills they have the perfect mix. They are easily the best removal company we have ever used.
Thanks go bear! I'm just writing a quick note to say how pleased we were with the work you did for us last week. Everything went seamlessly on the day and we were so impressed with the four guys working so diligently.
You work so hard and you never got stressed or angry. And there was no damage to any of our belongings. Fortunately we are hoping to never move again! But if we do you will be our first and only call.
Our company has used gold there several times to move our office and rooms within our office. They have even moved a giant safe.
They are always pleasant and professional and nothing is too much trouble for them.
We always pick up the phone to them first when we need any logistical help or advice. You always know that they will be as helpful as they can. They will listen to everything and give me the best possible candid advice. If you are looking for home or office moves then you really cannot get any better than them.
We recently moved house and Gold Bear were fantastic. Great care was taken getting our large G-Plan table out of our nearly too narrow hallway and door and the move was completed faster than expected. Thank you Gold Bear! I also really like that they operate as an environmentally conscious company, planting trees to offset gas used, using biodiesel where possible and running a box recycling scheme.
The most positive moving experience I've ever had! These guys were professional, conscientious of our belongings and swift. I'll be recommending them!

More Wire Work
In my fit of creativity last week I also finished up a bracelet that I started quite some time ago.
The larger links are sterling that Mom and I made and the tiny ones are niobium (the "air" mix) from Spiderchain. It's a Japanese 6-in-1 weave and I finished it off with two foldover clasps right next to each other.
This is super-comfortable and I've been wearing it almost every day since I finished it. The only sad news is I'm almost out of those luscious little niobium rings, so it's time for a reorder! (Okay, I guess that's not so sad after all, is it? The big question is whether I'll be able to talk myself into a different color mix. I love love love these colors but all the others look so pretty too….)
