Snack Review
Taste test: This snack mix included thin stick pretzels, small knotted pretzels, crunchy cheese curls, round nacho cheese tortilla chips and barbecue-seasoned corn chips.
The two kinds of pretzels were about what you'd expect, with a fairly low level of salt, and they provided a contrast to the other zestier kinds. The crunchy cheese curls had a softer crunch than, say, Crunchy Cheetos, but their seasoning was surprisingly strong, with lots of intense cheese and probably some barbecue-type seasonings as well. Very tasty. The round tortilla chips were a bit of a surprise, because the picture on the bag showed triangular ones, but they were pretty good, with a good crispness and zesty seasoning. Most of those large tortilla chips were broken into multiple pieces. The corn chips were kind of like double-wide Fritos, but with less curve on most pieces, plus some BBQ seasoning; they tasted more like the seasoning than they did Fritos. Overall, it had a more buttery flavor than many other party mixes. Pretty good.

Smell test: Mostly like tortilla chips and pretzels, fairly typical of a mix like this.
From the package: "The perfect blend of crunchy, cheesy, savory snack crisps" ... "Surprise Party: At a casual gathering on Cape Cod, Bill Corriere, Sr. and friends enjoy good food, great company and the ocean breeze. That was, until the snacks ran out. Reluctant to bring the party to an end, they gathered what crunchy munchies remain and poured it all into a big bowl. The magic of that evening lives on in The Real Deal™ Original Snack Mix."

Sharks and Outlaws Battle Out Inter-LA Clash
The LA Sharks and the LA Outlaws made their home debut on Saturday June 2nd at Westchester Park & Rec Center. The home opener also included a skills clinic for beginners, as well as a touch scrimmage hosted by the Dragons' women.
After a hard-fought opening game between Riverside and Orange County, the Sharks and Outlaws played against each other for the first time this season. The Outlaws jumped out to an early lead courtesy of forwards Bill McGovern and Pat Nicholls, aided by some quality backline play from Paul Jackson and Andrew Loewen, who both amassed a number of early touches. However, the Sharks were undeterred, with Joe Silvio and Paul Ioakim moving the ball through the guts. Ioakim led the Sharks with three goals, while Silvio added one more, and they also received help from defenders Milo Albert, Rick Shaibani and Julien Mayeur.
Dennis Boyle and Donald Lee rotated between ruck and full-forward all afternoon, with Boyle collecting two goals, including an impressive one off the deck in the goal square. Young gun John Van Rosmalen also used some solid defensive pressure to influence the contest. In only his second game of Aussie rules, Max Melville made the most of his possessions for the Sharks.
In addition to Nicholls, Jackson, Loewen and McGovern, the Outlaws also got a great performance out of Aussie newcomer Blake Mansfield, who played both ruck and forward on the day, finishing with four goals. American debutant Donny Waechtner came off the bench throughout the game and collected a few valuable possessions too.
The game was competitive, despite a tough playing surface and a light breeze throughout the day. Ultimately the Outlaws prevailed, 16.9.105 to 7.7.49.
Both the Outlaws and Sharks are back in action next Saturday as they head down to San Diego to take on the hosting Lions and the OC Bombers, respectively.

If you're starting from scratch, create a template form and spreadsheet. When you need to make a feedback form, use File > Make a copy on the spreadsheet to copy over the code.
Otherwise, you can make a copy of this blank template to get started (code is already inserted). If you're going to make your own, be sure you have a form linked. If there is no form on your sheet, you'll get an error.

1. What is TRALGY B2B Market Place?
It is a travel marketplace where any travel agent or DMC can BUY and SELL any travel-related product/services to another travel agent across the globe.
2. What travel product or services can I sell from Tralgy Platform?
In its first release only tour packages would be available but in future releases, any product or service related to Travel industry - Tour, Packages, Hotel, Transportation, Flights would be available on Tralgy. You can also book activities, buy a visa, international SIM card, travel insurance.
3. I was approached by similar platforms, how are you different?
Please do not compare oranges with apple. Traly is the first and only B2B marketplace of its kind. Tralgy neither provides leads nor the enquiries. Also as a seller, you do not have to send packages, do follow-ups, customize or resend the itinerary. We will do everything for you - marketing, follow-ups, and sales. Then, we provide direct booking to you that too after the payment is made by the buyer. Just post the packages in Tralgy and we will take care of the rest.
4. Will I be getting any leads? How certain is it to convert them?
No.Tralgy neither provides leads nor the enquiries.
5. Are you like TravelTriangle?
What is that?
6. Who is going to buy the packages on your platform?
Since it is B2B marketplace only the travel agents can buy the packages.
7. Are there any charges involved to be a seller?
Nothing "good" comes for free in this world. We do have annual maintenance charges along with some profit sharing. Each package you sell through us, we expect a small share of profit from you.
8. Why should I share my profit with you?
Since Tralgy does marketing, advertising, sales, and technology for you, we expect you to share your profit with us. That's simple. Right? This way we do not put an extra burden on Buyer and he feels "HAPPY TO BUY, BUY MORE AND BUY AGAIN".
9. I cannot pay the annual maintenance charges but ready to share the profits. Can that work?
Sorry, it is not possible. Don't think about the investment but returns. We assure that your investment with us will give you 2X benefits.
10. I get good returns if I spend money on travel events. Why should I pay AMC for a new product?
If you are able to buy a stall in a travel event lesser than our AMC cost then please let us know and we will waive off the AMC for you. We bet it is not possible.
11. Why our company name won't be displayed?
Because Tralgy does not generate leads or enquiries but gives you direct booking. If we display your company name along with your packages then it is possible that the buyer may contact you offline. And then instead of direct booking, you just get another lead and the whole lead cycle repeats from lead, customizing packages, hotels, costing, follow-ups, cost restructuring, resending, again follow-up and finally you hear "sirji, aapka cost jyada tha aur wo customer chala gaya…"
12. How many packages can we publish on Tralgy?
UNLIMITED as of now. Please note that this is only a pre-launch offer. After the launch, we are going to limit the number of destinations for each seller.
13. Who will collect the payment from buyers?
The buyer makes the payment to Tralgy and then the Buyer will be introduced to the seller. The sellers can set their own terms for rest of the payment and buyer is bound to abide by Seller's terms and conditions.
14. What will happen if I cancel the tour after booking the tour but before starting the tour?
A seller cannot cancel the tour after it is booked and accepted by them. Each seller must fulfill all the promises made with the itinerary.
When a buyer makes a payment to Tralgy, we contact the seller and it is on seller's discretion to accept the deal and give the package or the seller can deny the request with a valid reason. Then, Tralgy will immediately let the buyer know about this and they mutually manage this situation. However, Seller has the "POWER OF DENY" to any service to any buyer even after the initial payment is made by the buyer (For example: Seller may not like the ratings of a buyer). But Seller cannot deny any service after he accepts the deal.

To be a Seller on Tralgy you must be a DMC or Travel agent and you,

Make gift giving easy with a 1 lb. tube of our signature Bollywood Theater Masala Chai in a textile, playfully illustrated gift bag.
By the way, this is not the weak, boring chai you find on supermarket shelves. Our Bollywood Theater Masala Chai is as close as you can get to the stuff served by the Chai Wallahs in the streets of Delhi.
Featured in Bon Appetit's "The Best Chai You Can Buy" and an editor's choice at Food & Wine
This is an authentic, rich and robust Masala Chai blend featuring the freshest Indian Assam Black Tea, Green Cardamom, Cloves, Black Pepper and Ginger (plus more) we could find. We worked with Bollywood Theater's Chef Troy MacLarty, to put together the same blend he serves in his award-winning, third-eye opening restaurants.
My partner on the ground in India, Mr. Divakar, travels from farm to farm, estate to estate, cherry-picking the freshest spices just for us. He ships them to us in small-batches, so things remain crazy fresh. You'll understand what I'm talking about the second you tear open a bag.
Delicious served hot or on ice. Makes about 50 cups. Add sugar to taste.
We also sell an Indian Sipper Gift Set of Bollywood Masala Chai and our Monsoon Moon Indian Whole Bean Coffee.
Bollywood Theater is a wildly popular Indian street food eatery with two locations in Portland, Oregon. Both are just a rickshaw ride from downtown.
Thank you for asking for my review. I initially ordered the smallest size because I had ordered 12 from various stores, in the hope that I would find a couple that were average. Your tea blew everyone out of the water!!! I shared my 'find' with my sister and her family and she felt the same way too! Since then I have ordered two large containers, one for me and one as a present for my sister!!! You should be dancing, you are proving an amazing rea! The bad thing is that I am spoiled now, only your tea will be drank by us! You need a reward program for returning customers. 🙂
I love the Masala Chai. Warms the soul. Even when it is made improperly in a small coffee maker.
This chai is really fantastic- it packs a punch and a little goes a long way. Will be ordering more soon!
I have tried a lot of Chai throughout the years but this is the best one I have tasted so this is the Chai that I will be drinking from now on. Hot or cold it is just delicious. Totally worth the money.
The Chai was a gift. The recipient is loving it. The Chai was ordered because my wife thinks it's the best.

When you think "awesome willpower," my name does not come to mind. I am lazy. Laaaaaazy. I'm talking Olympic gold medal-level lazy. I'm a perfectly good cook, yet I eat frozen dinners rather than wait a few more minutes for the pasta to cook or the chicken to broil. I always have clean bathrooms, but dust can be seven layers deep on my tables and I barely raise an eyebrow. Sometimes (more often than I will admit, even here) my outfit for the day is decided not by what I want to wear, but by what requires the least amount of ironing. I can waste hours-- days, even-- on the internet rather than doing anything remotely productive. (How long have I needed to sand/paint my bathroom ceiling? Don't ask.)
I beat myself up about this, sometimes. One of the ways I've been doing this lately is wondering about just how I'll be as a single mom. Lazy is not an easy thing to overcome. Lazy trumps a lot of things. Will my child get the short end of my lazy stick?
If I think about it, though, maybe it's that I'm lazy about things I have (apparently) decided just don't matter as much. To me, anyway. For instance, despite the amount of work it takes as a single person in the city to have a dog, I had an awesome dog for over 14 years. And while sometimes I grumbled about the time it took to keep her cared for in the style she was happily accustomed to, I never really minded; as lazy as I am, she was worth every second, every dollar, every worried night, every walk in subzero weather. I carried her up and down stairs for the last month of her life, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I'm lazy, but it didn't matter one bit when it came to her.
Since I found out about IVF going away as of 1/1 (see a couple of posts ago), it's like a switch has gone off. I've given up artificial sweeteners, I'm scheduled for acupuncture, I'm bringing my lunch rather than eating processed foods, I have a yoga DVD arriving in the next few days, I've been to the gym a number of times...
Maybe I'm just someone who needs a really good reason not to be lazy. Maybe my "really good reason" bar is set high.
And maybe, just maybe, that's OK.
I do need to get motivated on the bathroom ceiling, though.

Andre Villas-Boas faces the first true test of his Chelsea career at Old Trafford tomorrow. Manchester United have started the season on a roll and have already scored 18 goals, with Wayne Rooney grabbing back to back hatricks against Arsenal and Bolton Wanderers.
In the recent past, with the fading annual challenge of Arsenal, the English Premiership had been between Manchester United and Chelsea, but this season, the blue half of Manchester, City, have made their intentions known from the very beginning. They boast a 100% start to the season so far and only second on the table because they have scored three goals less than their fierce local rivals. Already, pundits have been tipping either Manchester clubs to win the 2011/2012 EPL trophy, especially as they say Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspurs (the pretenders to the throne) do not have what it takes to compete these days.
The young players Ferguson has introduced into his team have shown early promises. The manager made wholesale changes for their clash against Benfica in Europe as he went for a more experienced line-up. He is expected to ring the changes against the Blues tomorrow. He confirmed after the game in Portugal that David de Gea will return between the posts despite Anders Lindegaard's excellent performance. Hernandez, Young, Nani, Anderson and Rio Ferdinand are also in contention to come back in.
Chelsea's season hasn't been too fantastic so far. They managed to win a few of their domestic games and had to rely on late goals to nick a win against Bayer Leverkusen in their last European game. One encouraging sign though, is Torres' new form; he laid on the two assists against the German club on Tuesday. Didier Drogba hasn't recovered from the concussion he suffered in the Norwich game and so is not available for selection. Villas-Boas will decide whether to continue with Torres upfront or pick Daniel Sturridge ahead of him like he did last week against Sunderland.
Whatever the team selection, I expect Manchester United to come out top in this clash. The best Chelsea take away will be a draw and there are suggestions in the media that Villas-Boas might go for a defensive formation. One fact is sure though: At the end of 90 minutes, we might just know for sure whether the London teams will be in with a shout this season, or the trophy will remain in Manchester for one more year.
PREDICTION: Manchster United to win 2-0.

Establish the kind of consultancy you are, whether you happen to be operating it as a life-style concern with small profit and little tax, or as a company you at some point plan to sell. As often, Apple and Coca Cola stand out from the other folks for their inattentiveness in the early beginning of the improvement of the actual modern day graphics design. Roger is leading the vision of Frontify with his expertise as a Developer & Designer.
It is really essential that you decide on an suitable design and style for your corporate logo as it would represent your company. Usually the name begins at the commence of the analysis and branding process which will then evolves into the visual identity / logo. Or, a tax advisory service consultant firm is facing true challenges to offer distinct brand vision. In quick a confident and strong branding method should convey a message by way of the design. Interactivity is now another critical part of making a website—one that web design is quickly evolving to accommodate. I am NOT in favour of paying Facebook or any other huge social media firm any cash for marketing. Is Victoria primarily based brand design agency, specializing in packaging goods for consumers.

Realize that your brand will reside in the minds and possibly hearts of customers, customers and prospects. The college will do the rest, ideal school to me is Art Center College of Design and style in Pasadena California. The query that arises here is, how developing a brand is various from marketing.

Crockpot Caramel Banana Bread Pudding
Time needed
Serving Size / Yield
- 2 Sliced Bananas
- 10 Cups of Cubed Bread
- 4 Eggs
- 1 ½ Cups of Sugar
- ½ Teaspoon of Salt
- 4 Cups of Milk
- 1 ½ Cups of Heavy Cream
- 1 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
- ¼ Cup of Pecans
- 2 Tablespoons of Room Temperature Butter
- 3 Teaspoons of Bourbon
- 1 Teaspoon of Lemon Juice
- ¼ Cup of Raisins
- ¼ Teaspoon of Ground Nutmeg
- ¼ Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon
Our Readers Also Loved
Begin by heating up 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan over a medium heat with about ¼ cup of water, stirring it until the sugar dissolves and then swirling it until it is caramel-colored -- about 8-10 minutes. Then, take it off of the heat and mix in the butter, ½ cup of heavy cream, bourbon, lemon juice, and salt and set it to the side. Place the cubes of bread and the raisins into your crockpot.
Next, whisk together the milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, remaining sugar, and remaining heavy cream in a bowl and pour it over the bread cubes. Begin cooking this on low for about 90 minutes, and then pour the caramel over the top and add in the bananas and pecans. Then, cook it on the same setting for about another 90 minutes, or until you can stick a knife in the middle of the pudding and it comes out clean.

Worrying Doesn't Make Things Better
Stress may explain worse heart attack recovery in young and middle-age women
Stress may partly explain why young and middle-age women have a worse recovery after heart attack, according to new research published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.
Although about 35,000 women under age 65 experience a heart attack each year in the United States, there's limited data on psychosocial characteristics and recovery outcomes of young and middle-aged women.
"Our study found a significantly higher level of mental stress in women 18-55 years old with heart attack compared to their male counterparts," said Xiao Xu, Ph.D., lead author of the study and assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
Previous research suggests that mental stress may reduce blood flow and promote plaque forming in the arteries. Stress is also associated with behaviors that may adversely affect health outcomes such as not taking medication as directed.
Researchers analyzed data collected from 2,397 female and 1,175 male heart attack survivors 18-55 years old in the Variation in Recovery: Role of Gender on Outcomes of Young AMI Patients (VIRGO) study, a prospective observational study of young and middle-aged adult heart attack patients in the United States, Spain and Australia. During their initial hospital stay for heart attack, researchers measured patients' perceived stress using a 14-item scale that gauged their lives as being uncontrollable and overloaded over the past month.
The study showed:
- Women had worse recovery one month after heart attack on multiple outcome measures such as chest-pain-related physical function and quality of life as well as overall health.
- Women had a significantly higher level of mental stress.
- Greater stress among women partially explained their worse recovery.
Women were more likely to be concerned about family issues, while men were more likely to be worried about financial matters:
- Family conflict during the previous year was reported by about 33 percent of women versus 20 percent of men.
- A major personal injury or illness was reported by 22.4 percent of women versus 16.6 percent of men.
- Death or major illness of a close family member was reported by 36.6 percent of women versus 27.8 percent of men.
- A loss of crop or business failure as heavy stressors was identified more by men (7.4 percent) compared to 3.5 percent of women.
"We need to think more broadly about our patients," said Harlan Krumholz, M.D., S.M., the study's senior author and director of the Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation at Yale-New Haven Hospital and a professor in Yale's School of Medicine and Public Health. "We have to consider their state of mind and the experiences of their lives."

We just did our first ABC Reading Eggs lesson and Little Lottie is happily writing 'm' all over her notebook at the kitchen counter.
She's turning 3 in a few weeks but loves singing the alphabet, pointing out letters and loved Jolly Phonics at daycare so I thought I'd give her a go at the preschool Reading Eggs lessons. The whole online lesson in a single letter was only 20mins and was set up in a series of interactive activities that made it seem like a game. A game with singing ants and lots of bright colours. By the end she was confidently pointing out the letter Mm, identifying pictures with M words as their names and making mmmmm sounds.
ABC Reading Eggs is a full learn to read program for ages 3 – 13 and it links to a math program called Mathseeds, and an online store of early reader material. I'm using the 14 day free trail available to parents and teachers worldwide and was honestly surprised at how popular the program is outside Australia. 12 month subscriptions are around $80 and the book packs are $80 for one level or $119 for both levels. I see them in ABC stores and book shops. We left it at one lesson today (they're designed to do a few letters a day) but it was a success and I'm looking forward to trying out the next one tomorrow. We will definitely be purchasing a book pack very soon.

Interspecies gynogenesis - a way to avoid contamination with radiation induced paternal chromosome fragments
Konrad Ocalewicz , Stefan Dobosz , Krzysztof Jagiełło , Marcin Polonis
AbstractGynogenetic doubled haploids (DHs) as fully inbred fish are useful in developmental biology and aquaculture research. However, it has been noticed that incomplete UV-induced inactivation of the sperm nuclear DNA may result in "contamination" of the gynogenetic specimens with the radiation-induced chromosome fragments. Presumably, such fragments could be eliminated when gametes used for the induced gynogenesis originate from species whose hybrid offspring are lethal due to the genome incompatibility. In the present research gynogenetic development of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792), brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis Mitchill, 1814) and brown trout (Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758) was induced using UV irradiated homologous and heterologous spermatozoa. Eggs inseminated with the irradiated sperm were then subjected to high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) shock to inhibit the first cell cleavage and duplicate haploid sets of maternal chromosomes. Produced DH individuals were cytogenetically studied to confirm their ploidy and to detect any karyotypic abnormalities. Survival of gynogenetic DH embryos developing in eggs inseminated with irradiated homologous and heterologous sperm was comparable. Increased mortality among interspecies gynogenotes was observed after hatching. Cytogenetic analysis of DHs confirmed diploid chromosome complements for the studied egg donor species. No chromosome fragments – residues of the UV irradiated paternal genome were found in cells of interspecies gynogenetic DHs. It might be assumed that individuals with UV-irradiated chromosome fragments from heterologous spermatozoa were preferentially lost that could partially explain lower survival of the interspecies gynogenotes when compared to fish that hatched from eggs activated by the irradiated homologous sperm.

Get Nigerian Virtual Phone Number
Virtual number is like a usual local phone number. It is a service to forward incoming calls. The incoming calls to Nigeria virtual phone number are automatically forwarded to another landline or cell phone number of that city or country which the client chooses. Continent Telecom offers free call forwarding to SIP.
Both private persons and companies can order the service. If you have no office in another city or country you'll have virtual local number there and you'll have a possibility to take incoming calls. Interlocutor will be sure that you are situated in the same city or country with subscriber who bought virtual phone number.
For example, if you buy Lagos, Nigeria virtual phone number and forward calls to your landline (mobile) phone number in London (New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Beijing, Shanghai, Paris, Mexico, Istanbul, etc.) the client will think that you are situated in Lagos, Nigeria. Or if you live in the UK and your family, relatives and friends live in the UK, you can get a Nigerian virtual phone number (VoIP DID) and divert incoming phone calls to your UK number. The cost of international calls will become significantly cheaper.
Continent Telecom provides local phone numbers in 90 countries of the world, more then 6500 cities. View the list of available countries and local virtual numbers prices.

Comfort and Pain NC3
undefined, object
copy deck
- nociceptive pain
1.somatic pain- ligaments, tendons, bones, blood vessels and nerves
2.viseral pain- abdominal cavity, cranium and thorax,
3.referred pain- pain felt in apart of the body that is removed from the tissues causing the pain
- neuropathic pain
- described as shooting, stabbing and is often severe. Damage from cutting, crushing or compression, viral or chemical exposure
- modulation
- restraining of the nociceptive process inhibiting the pain signal transmission. Endorphins and enkephalins provide biochemical descending inhibition. Massage, heat, and cold application inhibit ascending modulation. Biochemical mediators of pain- serotonin, histamine, potassium, bradykinin and substance P
- dorsal horn
- location in the spinal cord that prevents or permits pain impulses to reach the brain. Part of the Gate control theory. Opening the gate is caused by A-delta and C-fibers. Closing of the gate is influenced by A-alpha and A-beta fibers
- Pain threshold
- pain stimulation required before a pt feels it. Uniform throughout a person's lifetime, differs among different people. Pain threshold changes if tissue damage is present. Changes in relation to person's level of consciousness
- pain tolerance
- most intensity of pain that a person is willing to tolerate. Varies markedly over time in the same person and differs among different people
- characteristics of pain
- location, intensity, quality, and onset and duration
- chronic pain
- mild to severe, parasympathetic nervous system response, continues beyond healing
- acute pain
- mild to severe, sympathetic nervous system response- increased HR, respiratory rate, elevated blood pressure, diaphoresis, dilated pupils
- malignant pain
- intractable- highly resistant to relief. Relief requires use of multiple methods such as imagery and PCA
- procedural pain
- short term, experienced during a procedure
- dispeling myths about pain
1.newborns do feel pain
2.sleep or lack of complaint does not indicate pain relief
3. pain is not a normal part of aging
4. peopel with chronic pain do not have hypochondriasis nor do they have hysterical personalities
- diabetic neuropathy
- decreased sensation to pain associated with peripheral nerve disease
- What does massage, heat and cold application do for pain
- inhibits ascending modulation of pain signals
- Heat and cold therapy
- contraindicated over broken skin, mucous membranes or rashes. Heat and cold reduce muscle spasm and decrease pain but heat should not be used within 24 hours of injury because it increases blood flow, edema and bleeding at the site
- transcutaneous electrical nerve- stimulation is an adjunct to manage acute or chronic pain. TENS produces analgesia by stimulating A-beta fibers to block A-delta and unmyelinated C-fibers to block noxious stimuli from the periphery by stimulating endorphins in the dorsal horn. It should not be used for clients with pacemakers because itmay interfere with or inhibit the output of some demand-type pacemakers.
- environmental interventions
- room temperature, noise reduction, improving ventilation and use of assistive devices can increase comfort or decrease pain
- anitcipatory guidance
- using honest explanation of what the client will feel
- distraction
- used best during brief periods of intense pain (during dressing changes)
- guided imagery
- helping patient focus on a pleasant, relaxed mental image
- hypnosis
- blocks patient's awareness of pain through suggestions
- relaxation
- comfortable position, passive attitude, quiet evnoronment and concentration. It complements other pain-relief techniques
- biofeedback
- learn voluntary control over autonomic functions, such as heart rate, hand temperature, and muscle tension. Motivation of the client is important because it requires extensive training
- nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug- ibuprofen, naproxen, tolmetin, and indomethacin- aspirin and acetaminophen are all single agent therapies used for mild pain relief
- opioid agonist
- relief of moderate to severe pain during consciousness- morphine, codeine, hydromorphone, oxycodone, oxymorphone, meperidine, fentanyl and methadone. All analgesia by binding to specific opioid receptors
- opioid antagonist
- Naloxone- reverse the depressant effects of opiods. Tx for opiod overdose
- opiod agonist-antagonists
- pentazocine, nalbuphine, butorphanol, dezocine- bind only to certain opioid receptor sites. Can cause acute withdrawl syndrome in persons dependent on opioid agonists
- Topical drugs
- used for localized pain relief of skin or mucous membranes.
- Benefits of PCA
1.uses smaller opioid dosages, 2.decreased delay in receiving pain med,
3.decreases potential for overdosing, 4.decreases dependency on nursing personnel
5. decreases client anxiety and promotes earlier activity with improved pulmonary status
Best used for moderate to severe pain and with patients who cna understand and follow instructions
- Cheyne-stokes
- marked rhythmic waxing and waning of respirations from very deep to very shallow breating and temporary apnea. Pattern is not unusual during sleep in the elderly and should not be exclusive reason to restrict opioid pain relief
- adjunvant medications
- meds that enhance analgesia of opioids, tx symptoms that exacerbate pain or provide independent analgesia for types of pain. Corticosteriods, antidepressant drugs and hypnotics
- 3 step analgesic ladder
1-non-opioid analgesics +/- and adjuvant. Moderate pain persist go to...
2. opioid admin +/- non-opioid +/- adjuvant
3. opioid for moderate to severe pain +/- mon-opioid +/- adjuvant. Used in the relief of cancer pain
- signs and symptoms of pain
- acute pain will manifest in changes in blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and metabolic responses. Rapid, shallow breathing may result in hypoxemia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness,and diarrhea. Chronic pain may result in adaptation and commonly observed responses may be present
- Verbal and nonverbal clues of pain
verbal are most dependable indicators of pain.
- Nonverbal pain clues- rubbing painful area, frowns and grimaces and increased muscle tension occurring with guarding and immobilization.
- Promoting safety by monitoring sedative level of analgesics
1. respiratory rate is moderaltely affected (8-10 breaths/min) withhold the opioid and reduce subsequent doses
2. respiratory rate is significantly affected (<8 breaths/min) administer Narcan until adequate respiratory rate returns by pain relief remains intact

I've been researching my 3rd great grandfather, Martin White. In doing so, a family member that I met via my history nut blog told me that my ancestor had fought at the Battle of Wilson's Creek with the Missouri State Guard, so I contacted the National Park for more information. Jeffery Patrick, the librarian there, informed me that while the Missouri State Guard fought on the southern side, it was NOT a Confederate army and was never a Confederate army, but only existed for two years altogether. It was enacted by the Missouri Governor, Claiborne Jackson and closed by the same, so to call the Missouri State Guard "Confederate" is a misnomer. Can you please change the wording "Confederate" to "Missouri" to reflect its correct title? Thank you.

We could all use a little more space. When you don't have any extra square footage to work with in your home, it's important to use the space you have to the fullest. Timbercreek Communities has 5 ideas for small living spaces that will make you feel like you're living large(r)!
Choose Simple Furniture
Furniture with simple lines makes a small apartment feel cozier. These sofas are great options for small spaces.
Add Hidden Storage
One of the most effective ways to maximize your space is to add hidden storage. Your Timbercreek apartment is your place for your everything and it is important to make sure everything in it has it's own place. Even large spaces can feel cramped and cluttered when they are not well organized. Get creative and declutter your space this weekend.
"Invisible" Pieces
It's not magic, it's lucite. Lucite is a clear, acrylic material that is strong and transparent. Lucite furniture creates the illusion of more space in a tight space because it feels like it's barely there at all. A lucite coffee table and/or lucite chairs can make your small space feel more open. Light will pass right through the pieces and make the whole room feel less cramped.
Plants Add Depth
Liven up a small space by adding some life to it. The right plants can add depth to tiny spaces. Peace Lilies, Spider Plants and Aloe Vera thrive in high or low light conditions and even clean the air.
Add Mirrors
Well placed mirrors are one of the easiest ways to make a small space feel larger. They trick the mind and make small spaces feel less cramped. Try adding them to areas like your hallway or your bedroom, you'll be amazed by the new dimension they add.
Timbercreek Communities hope that this post helps to put you in the proper headspace to make the most of your space.

When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade – make natural products to use around your Timbercreek Apartment! These natural lemon creations can replace store bought items that contain harmful chemicals and additives. Best of all, these natural products work just as well as their commercial alternatives.
Fridge Deodorizer
Using chemical-laden products close to your food feels like a bad idea. Thankfully, all you need for a natural fridge deodorizer is some lemon juice and cotton balls! Remove and discard all spoiled food from your fridge, transfer smelly foods (like cheese, onions and fish) to airtight containers, and then soak a few cotton balls in lemon juice and leave them in your fridge for 4 to 6 hours. That's it! Repeat this process every few weeks, or whenever you detect unpleasant odours.
All Purpose Cleaner/Natural Bleach Alternative
Clean your Timbercreek apartment and leave a pleasant lemony scent in the air with this simple Three Ingredient All Purpose Cleaner. The ingredients for this non-toxic, natural cleaner are lemon juice, water and 3% hydrogen peroxide solution which is available from any drugstore. Hydrogen peroxide (3%) is the only germicidal agent that contains only water and oxygen. It kills microorganisms through oxidation. The lemon juice breaks down grease and grime. This homemade solution can even be used as a natural bleach alternative.
Homemade Mouthwash
It's easy to make your own homemade mouthwash. All you need is lemon juice, water and cinnamon. This mixture will freshen your breath and clean your mouth without chemicals like benzoic acid, sodium benzoate and poloxamer 407 (sounds pretty harmful).
Natural Insect Repellant
Lemons can be used as a natural insect repellent to deter uninvited guests that may have found their way into your home. Apply some fresh squeezed lemon juice along floors, windowsills, or anywhere an ant has appeared. You can also place dried lemon peels in your closets to deter moths and leave a fresh scent.
We hope this helps you find new uses for your leftover lemons and helps you replace harmful chemicals in your home.

Choosing the right sofa for your apartment can be tricky. A home theatre-style sectional is a little impractical, and that second-hand chesterfield isn't going to fit in with your decor. In the hopes of helping you choose the perfect piece for your apartment, and maximize space, Timbercreek Communities has put together a list of the top 5 best sofas for apartment living.
1. Loveseat
Like a bicycle built for two, a loveseat is the perfect perch for any twosome — and it doesn't take up too much room in your rental unit! Just be sure to remember the cozy closeness of this type of sofa. This kind of togetherness can be ideal for a couple, but not optimal for roommates. Loveseats are available in many styles and sizes. If you don't know where to start, check out these Pinterest pins about loveseats.
2. Pull-out couch
The pull-out couch is the Swiss Army knife of sofas. It's a brilliant choice because it adapts easily to your needs. Whether you have to host unexpected company, are preparing a spare room for your parents, or are just really feeling a mid-Netflix-binge nap, the pull-out couch is the perfect pick. Check out this list of the best sleeper sofas and sofa beds from Apartment Therapy.
3. Chaise lounge
Comfy, casual and sleek, chaise lounges are a great option for your apartment, and are usually more compact than a couch. Our favourite picks? Ikea's lineup -- check it out here.
4. Sofa bunk bed
Asking friends and family to sleep on the floor when they come to visit can lead to a lonely home away from home. Host friends and family in your small space with ease with a super practical sofa bunk bed! A single sofa converts easily into two completely separate beds -- so no one has to sleep next to uncle Larry.
5. 3-seat L-shaped sofa
L-shaped sofas are great when you live with a roommate or a partner. They allow you both to stretch out on the sofa without getting in each other's way. They also fit beautifully into the corner of a room, leaving you with a lot of open space to put to good use. If you have the space to spare, a 3-seat L-shaped sofa is a great option. Stay on budget with one of these affordable sectional sofas from Ikea.
When it comes to energy-saving initiatives, we all win. Cutting down costs while reducing your carbon footprint can be done in many simple ways in your life. In an effort to inspire positive change for you, your wallet and the planet, the team at Timbercreek Communities has some easy tips for going green. Check out our ultimate guide to making any rental more energy efficient:
The phantom menace
If you've never heard of phantom power (or standby power), it is a mega-waste of megawatts. Your phone charger and your laptop charger are sucking up energy at an alarming rate (if left plugged in but not charging anything), not to mention other everyday devices and appliances around your home. According to HyrdoOne, you could save $150 a year just by cutting down on phantom power alone.
Cut the lights
Who doesn't want a nice ambiance in their home? Brightly lit rooms can make a space feel inviting, but having several lamps on in each room of an apartment can also be really expensive and wasteful. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody's there to hear it, maybe it makes a sound, maybe it doesn't – we'll never really know. But we know for sure that if the lights are on in a room and no one is there to see it, that energy is getting used up for nothing. Make it a habit to flick off the lights as you leave a room, and try to keep the excess ambiance lights (lamps, twinkle lights, etc.) to a minimum.
Waste not, want not
If you're one of those people who loves long, hot showers, consider the benefits of taking a shorter one. Cutting back just two or three minutes on your showers may help reduce your monthly bills by quite a bit. You'll also be doing the world a favour since water conservation is a major issue at the moment.
For more tips and tricks on how to make your apartment more energy efficient, check out the Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance's page. The team at Timbercreek Communities hopes that this information will help reduce your power bills while reducing our carbon footprint!

Whether you've just made the transition from school to work, or have been grinding away at the office for years, it goes without saying that young professionals today are busy multi-taskers. When it comes to making meals, keeping recipes as simple as possible is key, so is having the right foundation ingredients. To help you plan ahead, Timbercreek Communities has put together this list of 14 ingredients every young professional should have in their kitchen. Keep them on hand so that you can whip up whatever you like, without having to put too much thought into the grocery list.
Flour is the base for so much of what we eat today -- breads, muffins, cakes, fritters, beer-battered delights and more. This glutinous staple has been a standby for hundreds, if not thousands of years, and for good reason.
This one speaks for itself. Salt goes well on just about any dish, and bumps up the bland ones. Just be careful you don't overdo it — too much sodium can be detrimental to your diet. Foodies will love the many varieties of specialty salt now available in premium grocery stores like Whole Foods — they make a great finishing touch on your dish. If you're health conscious, try some pink Himalayan salt — it contains all the minerals your body needs to thrive.
Salt's spicy counterpart, pepper, will amp up any savoury dish to its full potential. For added freshness, arm your spice arsenal with a pepper mill and a stocked supply of peppercorns. Foodies will love experimenting with different varieties of pepper like pink and red peppercorns which taste subtly different. Health conscious people should try it with turmeric, a powerful anti-inflammatory spice that becomes much more absorbable when paired with pepper.
Tomato paste
Though it's not delicious on its own, this canned treasure plays a big role in many dishes - like tomato sauce, chili, curry, shepherd's pie and stew. Check out these great ideas for what to do with leftover tomato paste.
You can't go wrong with having a lemon handy at all times. Dressings, juices, soups and salads all incorporate this wonderful, tart fruit. Not to mention lemon water — which, according to many, is great for digestive health.
Ginger plays a starring and supporting role in many classic dishes. Curries, soups and sauces all incorporate this invigorating spice. Fresh ginger and hot water makes a great digestion enhancing tea. Be sure to keep this one in your kitchen, it's available at grocery stores in either fresh root or powder-form.
From sweets like pies, cakes and cookies, to more savoury dishes like baked ham, sugared sirloins, or eggplant parmesan, this granulated cane product comes in handy more often than you'd think.
An age-old flavour-booster, key ingredient in many recipes and wellness aide, garlic is essentially, a miracle food. Check out some great uses for it here.
This layered vegetable has many uses, but is primarily used to infuse a distinct, delicious savoury flavour into anything from sandwiches and salads, to pastas and wraps.
This thin, acidic liquid will come in handy more often than not. Whether you have malt vinegar, apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar or anything in between — from vinaigrettes to cleaning solutions, this ingredient is a must-have for your cupboard. Check out some of its many household uses here.
Olive oil
A frying pan staple, this wholesome oil will come in handy in many instances. And remember, even though it's fattening, it's good fat!
Cheap, quick and easy to make — a box or two of pasta should always be in your cupboard. You never know when Uncle Tony might stop by for some spaghetti.
Soy sauce
Like vinegar, soy sauce plays a major role in many dishes, especially Asian dishes. It offers an umami-packed saltiness and can add a lot of depth of flavour to your recipes. Check out some great recipes for this food staple here.
Who doesn't love cheese? Shaved parmesan is what makes a Caesar salad so delicious, and the secret ingredient that adds rich flavour to countless pasta sauces. We prefer buying good quality parmesan in block form and grating it fresh but powdered parmesan will kick up just about any savoury dish too if you're on a budget. Be sure to keep this exquisite cheese in your fridge at all times.
We hope you use this list to stock up on food items that will come in handy over and over again.

Each year we organise and run training programs at our office for youth workers across the city. This year, our first happened in the first week of Feb 2014. We had a total of 19 youth leaders/pastors from different churches and organisations who went through a rigorous five-day training on youth ministry. About five of the trainees have expressed interest in joining SU on a voluntary capacity which we are excited about, while others are keen to partner with us in future. We thank the Lord for the opportunity to equip youth leaders of our city for ministry.

Bulk Chocolate – Rough & Untempered
Our delicious range of Fairtrade chocolate bases poured straight from our stone grinder! This product takes you one step closer to the bean, it is our couveture (or base) chocolate, untempered.
Because this chocolate has not been tempered (made shelf stable, shiny & snappy) it has 'bloom' marks which are whitish spots which doesn't affect the tastiness. It also has a bubblier texture, which people love. We roast, winnow and refine and then pour the fresh liquid chocolate onto trays which, when set, is broken into shards and rough-packed by weight. This chocolate is perfect for baking, cooking or enjoying straight from the pack!
All of our bases are made in-house, from-the-bean in Clonakilty using healthier natural sweeteners (coconut sugar or Birch Xylitol) that we then temper to make our full range of chocolate bars. The equivalent ingredient from 'the big industry chocolate' are those bulk chocolate buttons you find in sweet shops.

The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) must not commit US$5million of its funds over a five-year period to government's US$12million Zipline drones deal – an activity entirely outside its core mandate – because of accountability issues, the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP) has argued.
Government has signed a deal with Fly Zipline Ghana to distribute essential health medicines and blood via the use of drones across the country, as a way of making essential supplies readily available in deprived areas that are difficult to access or far from major regional and district hospitals.
"What they are telling us is that they are creating a slush-fund in GNPC, and in many oil-producing countries that is what happens; they push money to the national oil company and turn around and pick it up so that it escapes the accountability process; but this is quite unfortunate and I don't think we should allow it to happen," he said.
Mr. Boakye, who said he was lost for words as to why government would give money to GNPC and turn around to go for part of that cash to fund the drones' project.
He spoke to the B&FT at the launch of the Braille Version of the Ghana Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (GHEITTI) report in Accra.
"GNPC gets money from government. The oil we produce is for us, and GNPC is subvented through the oil receipts so we give them money. So, if the Finance Ministry is going to give GNPC money, all it has to say is 'I do not have enough money for you because I am going to buy drones' and then account for the drones in the oil money; you don't give money to GNPC and turn around to go and pick it up.
If you do that you are only leaving gaps for questions. It should not be like that. Is GNPC a drone expert? It is not. If government wants to spend on drones, just withhold the money and spend on it; don't burden GNPC with things that it is not supposed to do. How much oil has GNPC produced so far?" an incensed Boakye quizzed.
His comments follow a recent announcement by the Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare, that GNPC has agreed to give the Ghana Health Service US$1m every year for five years to cover the entire cost of the project.
The deal was however deferred by Parliament last week, over what the legislature described as legal and regulatory issues.
GNPC, he said, is still experimenting on how it can become an operator, a commercial entity; and must therefore not be burdened with activities outside its core mandate.
Braille Version of GHEITI
"What we are trying to do is ensure that no one is excluded from the conversation around our natural resources and how revenues are utilised. For so long, the blind has been excluded; because if you look at the GHEITTI, it has been around for so long – about 12 years, but none of the reports have been transcribed into braille for the blind to read.
"So, what this means is that they do not know what is in that report – but they are also part of us. All of us are potential blind people, so we should have that mind-set of ensuring that nobody is excluded," Mr. Boakye said.
He added: "This is just the beginning of what ACEP wants to do in ensuring that even if it is projects that we are spending extractive resources on, we should ensure that the structure, the design also thinks about the disabled person".

Patrick Swayze: Off to Tame the Road House in the Sky.
Dear Patrick Swayze,
No matter what Kanye says, to me your death is the most upsetting of the year. You may not be as big a star as Michael Jackson, and of course your battle with cancer was well publicized so I knew the end was imminent, but you've given the world more than most celebrities ever will. Let's recognize your accomplishments.
-It was you who taught Ferris Bueller's sister to dance with passion. And I always believed you warned her never to get that nose job in the first place.
-It was you and Demi Moore who somehow made pottery sexy. Wait, pottery was always sexy. But you made it sexier; all the while prepping Whoopi Goldberg to win an Oscar. We all know who that Oscar really belongs to, Swayze.
-It was you who taught Keanu Reeves that when the man you're after turns out to be your friend, the only acceptable solution is to yell and shoot into the air.
-Seriously, Whoopi Goldberg won an Oscar.
-It was you who taught me that I am simply a product of fear. And that I had so much more gusta that I could musta.
-You played the best Pecos Bill I've ever seen, and you ripped out a man's throat. In one career.
Seriously, Swayze. You've graced us with some classics. Michael Jackson may have written some songs or whatever, but who really listens to Michael Jackson? You were in Road House. Was Michael Jackson in Roadhouse? No, he was in Miss Castaway, which...No, wait a minute. I'd probably watch that. But that's not the point, Patrick! The point is: ROAD HOUSE! It's Dawson Leery's favorite movie! That's how you know it's good. David Carradine died this year as well, but most people only know him as that guy from Kill Bill anyway. I love David Carradine, but Patrick...you mean so much more. By the way, David Carradine wanted to be at your funeral, but obviously he couldn't make it. It's too bad. He was really dying to come.
I know not everyone is as big a Swayze fan as I am. And I know a lot of people find my David Carradine joke distasteful. (Chill out, people.) But in all seriousness--and I know there was a lot of fake seriousness earlier--it really was disappointing to hear that you passed. I think I always thought of you as immortal, untouchable. As if you didn't really have cancer, but cancer had Patrick Swayze. In the end it got you, and that makes me sad. But I know you're up there, smiling down on us, just daring Keanu to try and shoot you now.
P.S. Now who am I going to confuse with Kurt Russel?

The art in Slightly Bent Comics is by a varied but highly skilled group. No sloppy work here at all.
