Hell Is a Colicky Baby
Did you have a newborn who cooed, slept, and was a perfect angel? Please don't tell me about it.
Momlogic's Julie: My firstborn son was colicky. He screamed and he cried from the minute we brought him home, and basically didn't stop for three months.
We could not go to a restaurant, or even the grocery store, because he wailed nonstop. Unless he was eating or sleeping, he was crying. Loudly.
My pediatrician told me to write down when he cried, and what we did to make it stop over a 24-hour period. This log ended up being 5 pages long, and went something like this:
1:13 Cried
1:14 Picked him up, stopped crying
1:15 Cried
1:16 Set him on bouncy, stopped crying
1:17 Cried
... and on and on and on, for 24 hours.
I am not sure what I did in a past life to deserve a colicky baby. Don't get me wrong -- I LOVE my son. He is 8 now, and he is just an incredible human being. But I still remember those first 12 weeks as a time of battle ... like going through a war.
I really resented the new parents who bragged that they had a "good" baby. Was my baby not "good" just because he cried? In new parent terms, "good" means quiet, meek, sleepy. In the workforce, "good" means vocal, outspoken, even opinionated at times ... and that was my little boy. I comforted myself with the fact that he was just before his time. These qualities of his would be valued some day ... just not maybe today.
Only those of us who have survived (yes, survived) having a baby with colic can truly understand what an intense experience it is. How we tried anything and everything to just get the baby to STOP. CRYING. How, when we'd tell our family or friends that the baby cried a lot, they'd dismiss us with statements like "Well, all babies cry." How other people would look at us like we were bad parents who couldn't control or comfort our child. How we worried that we WERE bad parents, and that we were failing our new baby somehow.
Like soldiers in a warzone, my husband and I bonded closely together while battling our son's colic. After what seemed like an eternity, this horrific three-month period passed and our son started crying less and cooing more.
Once the colic passed, my husband, our son, and I knew we could get through anything. We had been through hell, but had emerged stronger than before. We were a clan, a tribe. A family.
Our Daughter was collicky.
OM Goodness she was tough!!!
What saved that child's life was the doctor saying, "When you can't take it anymore the safest place in the world is the child's crib. Those things have been tested. Put her down, go someplace quieter in your home and difuse. Don't take the crying personal, you are not inadequate, nothing is wrong, fed, yep, dry pants, yep, no fever, yep all good just crying.
This advice was very very helpful at 3 am working full time and struggling financially.
I agree with Chuck…my son cried all the time. I remember calling my husband at work like at 10 am crying and asking when are you coming home. I knew he couldn't come home but I didn't know what to do. I would put him in his crib and shut the door and go into my room and cry! Just walking away for a couple of minutes made it easier for me to handle when I had to go back and pick him up. I also had some depression after he was born so I had to take care of myself so I could take care of him.
yep, i'd put my son in his crib and go sit on my front porch for a couple minutes, get fresh air and get a quick refresh. our pediatrician told us the same thing plus that they can sense our stress, so try not to stress. it was the hardest 3 months of my life and i will never forget it! i love my little guy more than anything, but it was so hard, and i still want to smack people that say "oh, my baby is so "good" and she she sleeps thru the night at 2 weeks and never cries!"
Mine was a preemie and not only cried endlessly for months, he projectile vomited 6 to 8 times a day. I was over the edge in stress. His vomiting lessened to once or twice a day but lasted through kindergarten. He taught himself to vomit under stress so whenever he cried he got sick. It was AWFUL! He's now eleven and is the best son a mom can ask for (I know, I have three kids). It all works out if you can live through the beginning. Then when you have one in high school/college, the torture begins again. I've been there too. We've got to take the lumps in the sugar.
My first was easy, my second not so much. I tried to find solace in the belief that he was great at "expressing himself" at such an early age. :) Now I try to take it all with stride… in fact, how cute they look when they cry inspired me to start a collection of sad kids pics online — ha! If you have any good ones, send them my way! :)
So glad you wrote this. Even though my middle son, now 7 was colicky, I had forgotten how hard it was until the past week when I sucked it up and admitted my month old baby has it! It sure is a battle that I hope I survive this time around!
If you have a colicky baby you must get the "colicky but cute" shirt from honestbaby.com! http://www.honestbaby.com/tshirts2b.php?qs1=cbc
Thats a shame. Most colic babies aren't responding to the formula so perhaps that may have helped some. I'm "kangarooing" (baby nestled onto chest) my premie now and I read that helps with colic as well as the skin to skin contact, even with full term babies, help cut down on colic as the baby is more relaxed.
My brother was colicky and I cannot begin to express how eternally grateful I am that my twin boys weren't. Their daily "magic hour" of non-stop screaming was staggeringly difficult to handle. I STILL remember VERY clearly my brother's non-stop crying and I was only 4! I am in awe of parents who have gone through colic with their child(ren).
Hello! Depressing klooper appropriate for my english jer, buti danged nice re say gJ$)Kd!!!.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo. (AP) — A Wyoming artist and musicians from North Carolina and Nebraska are among the six people chosen for the artist-in-residence program at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado this summer.
The six will be given two-week residencies at a cabin in the park during part of the summer and share their work with the public. Park officials say the artists can draw inspiration from the park while also translating its purpose as a place of pleasure and preservation into their work.
The artists chosen this summer are photographer Andy Nelson, of Manhattan, Kan.; water media artist Joy Keown, of Laramie, Wyo.; writer and photographer Rob Wilson, of Novi, Mich.; photographer Stan Honda, of New York City; composer Bill McCormick, of Carrboro, N.C.; and composer David Boye, of Lincoln, Neb.

I love grilled cheese sandwiches. Unlike most people, I didn't develop my fondness for grilled cheese until adulthood. This may have been due to the way they were prepared in my childhood home: Sunbeam white bread topped with Kraft singles and baked in the oven (sorry mom and dad). But now, having tasted a "real" grilled cheese, I adore them.
If you have a fondness for grilled cheese, you will love the new Grilled Cheese & Winner dinners at {three} sheets in Sandy Springs. On the third Tuesday of each month, they are presenting a five-course meal of assorted grilled-cheese sandwiches paired with wine for $30 per person. Below is the January menu:
Each dinner is limited to 30 people and reservations are required. Make reservations online or call 404-303-8423. 6017 Sandy Springs Circle, Atlanta. $30.

Forget the Kraft cheese on cotton bread! Try making one with mozzarella. Adding sliced tomato and mayo really makes a great sandwich. That's what I had growing up with a mother who came over on the boat from Italy!

Microbial communities associated with diverse plant and animal species exert a powerful influence on host fitness. Specific microbial taxa and functional genes directly affect normal development, nutrition, and immunity. Targeted rRNA and shotgun metagenomic surveys reveal the conservation of microbiome structure at higher taxonomic and functional levels, consistent with its importance to host physiology. These same investigations reveal a surprising amount of variation in the microbiomes of different members at the population level for humans, mice, and zebrafish. Despite the widespread occurrence of this phenomenon, few systematic studies have attempted to reconcile the puzzling combination of strong host control and high inter-individual variability. This gap motivates my long-term research goal: to understand the interaction between selective and random processes in shaping the structure and function of host-associated microbiota. Our objective is to determine the forces regulating microbiome assembly at multiple levels of genetic variation, using microbial colonization of the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana, a model organism in plant genetics, as a model system.
My laboratory pursues several lines of investigation into the phyllosphere system, and we have achieved exciting results over the past year. We completed an experiment designed to determine the repeatability of community assembly for both taxonomic structure and functional capacity in the Arabidopsis leaf microbiome (the "phyllosphere") under conditions of unlimited colonization. In unpublished work, we grew large numbers of Arabidopsis plants in the MBL greenhouse facility. Our goals were three-fold: to characterize the temporal trajectory of phyllosphere community structure, assess plant-to-plant variability in community composition, and quantify the influence of airborne microbes on the phyllosphere community. We developed methods to characterize the airborne microbial community colonizing leaves in conjunction with the phyllosphere community over the full plant life cycle. We use high-throughput sequencing of the 16s rRNA gene to measure taxonomic diversity and shotgun metagenomic sequencing to measure the functional capacity of the phyllosphere microbiome.
Our unpublished results clearly demonstrate that the membership of phyllosphere communities converges to a stable set of taxa at approximately 50 days post-germination (Figure 1). Moreover, as time progresses, the set of taxa present in plant-associated communities becomes increasingly divergent from the set of taxa that characterize air communities (Figure 2). While the composition of airborne communities remains remarkably stable over time, plant communities follow a clear temporal trajectory from high similarity to air communities towards a distinct stable end point composition (Figure 1a). The variability in community composition between replicate plants sampled at the same timepoint also decreases as plants mature, while the same is not true for air communities. These results suggest that the host plant exerts a strong selective effect on the colonizing microbes, such that only a subset are able to thrive. Strikingly, strong host selection for the presence of particular microbial phylotypes on mature plants was coupled with high stochastic variation in the abundance of dominant taxa. Despite experimental randomization, plants in close spatial association had more similar microbial communities, suggesting plant-to-plant microbial exchange (Figure 1b). This work is the first to measure host-associated microbial community development over time in conjunction with measurements of environmental inocula.

The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association revealed its postseason brackets over the weekend, and Reading High School has four teams ready to begin play in the upcoming days.
Rockets Hockey Ready to Blast Into Super 8 Action
The Reading boys hockey team earned the No. 5 seed in the elite Super 8 tournament. As a result they'll take on Austin Prep in a best-of-three series that will reportedly begin on Sunday at Lowell's Tsongas Center.
Suiting up for Austin Prep, which is located in Reading, is local skater Brendan Leach, a senior defenseman.
Lady Rockets Hockey Hoping for Deep Postseason Run
After earning the No. 6 seed in Division 1, the girls hockey team snagged a preliminary round bye. The team will take on either No. 11 Acton-Boxboro or No. 22 Barnstable in the first round.
With a win, the Rockets would take on either No. 3 Westford Academy, No. 14 Watertown/Melrose, or No. 19 Arlington.
Expectations Sky High for Girls Basketball
After a 20-0 season, the team's second unbeaten campaign in a row, the Reading girls basketball team earned a bit of a break.
The Rockets snagged a first round bye in the North Division 2 bracket and will take on either Burlington or Lynn Classical in the quarterfinal round, scheduled for Sunday.
Reading is in search of a second straight state championship and is widely considered the hands down favorite to repeat, thanks in part to the mammoth efforts of senior Olivia Healy.
Boys Basketball Team on a 'Mission'
Following a strong regular season, the Reading boys basketball team grabbed the No. 9 seed in North Division 2. As a result, the Rockets will travel to face New Mission on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
With a victory, the team would likely face No. 1 Melrose in the quarterfinals, unless the top seed is upset by either No. 16 Arlington or No. 17 Tewksbury.

Though sometimes dismissed in his native land as little more than a "chanteur de charme" -- in other words, "a ladies' singer" -- Julien Clerc in fact enjoyed one of the most successful and longest-lived careers in contemporary French pop, shaping the nouvelle chanson aesthetic across a span of decades that began in the shadow of the student rebellions of 1968 and continued well into the following century. Born Paul-Alain LeClerc in Paris on October 4, 1947, he was the product of a wealthy bourgeois family. Following his parents' divorce he was sent to live with his father, a high-ranking UNESCO official, and began studying piano at the age of six. During adolescence Clerc's love of music reached a fever pitch, and he regularly transcribed his favorite songs from the radio.
In time he began writing his own original material, often collaborating with friend Maurice Vallet; under his professional name, Momo, Vallet would continue writing with Clerc for years to follow. However, the singer would not meet his most notable collaborator until 1968, while a student at the Sorbonne. Instead of studying, Clerc spent the majority of his time in area cafés, and while in his favorite haunt, L'Ecritoire, he met Etienne Roda-Gil, the son of Spanish Republicans who had recently returned to Paris after spending almost a decade abroad in opposition to the conflict in Algeria. Clerc asked Roda-Gil to add lyrics to one of his original melodies -- the result was "La Cavalerie," a sardonic protest song that soon earned Clerc a seven-year recording contract with the Pathé-Marconi label.
Upon its May 1968 release, "La Cavalerie" made Clerc an overnight superstar, topping the French pop charts and emerging as one of the anthems of the concurrent student rebellions, thanks in large part to its oft-quoted lyric "I'll abolish boredom." The follow-up, "Ivanovitch," also reached number one and so impressed French superstar Gilbert Bécaud that he invited Clerc to open for his upcoming show at Paris' famed Olympia. The singer's third single, 1969's "Yann et les Dauphins," was his third consecutive chart-topper, and his self-titled debut LP was also a success, winning the prestigious Prix du Disque de l'Académie Charles Cros and earning critical favor for combining Clerc's Beatles-inspired pop ingenuity and neo-symphonic arrangements with Roda-Gil and Momo's often surreal and reliably complex lyrics.
Clerc was then invited to star in the French production of the hit Broadway musical Hair, initially refusing the offer but ultimately accepting. Premiering at Paris' Théatre de la Porte Saint Martin on May 31, 1969, the production was a runaway success, as was Clerc's next single, the chart-topping "La Californie," released in July. He also made headlines for going public about his burgeoning relationship with French pop ingénue France Gall. Clerc remained with Hair until February of 1970, when he resigned to resume his recording career; his sophomore LP, Des Jours Entiers à T'Aimer followed three months later, and that December he headlined the Olympia for the first time. A vacation to Argentina inspired the tango-like rhythms of his next single, 1971's "Le Couer Volcan," followed in succession by the Roda-Gil-penned "Ce N'Est Rien" and "Niagara."
Clerc abruptly shifted gears with 1973's Julien, recorded in London with arranger Bill Shepherd, replacing his longtime collaborator Jean-Claude Petit. He returned to Paris in time to begin rehearsals for a new run at the Olympia, with the highlights documented on his 1974 live LP, Julien Clerc avec Vous. Still dismissed in some quarters as little more than a teen idol, Clerc yearned for a more mature image, and in 1975 -- despondent over the end of his romance with Gall -- he reteamed with Momo for the bleak, elegiac No. 7, his most critically acclaimed effort to date. Soon after he agreed to a starring role in the film D'Amour et d'Eau Fraîche, and while on the set entered into a relationship with co-star Miou-Miou that would continue for five years. For his next album, 1976's A Mon Âge et à l'Heure Qu'il Est, he enlisted material from songwriters beyond Roda-Gil and Momo, working for the first time with Maxime Le Forestier and Jean-Loup Dabadie. Le Forestier also authored Clerc's 1978 blockbuster "J'Ai Eu 30 Ans" (written in honor of the singer's 30th birthday), the highlight of his ninth LP, Jaloux. Further bolstered by Dabadie's smash "Ma Preference," the album went on to sell 400,000 copies.
But Clerc's decision to expand his circle of collaborators outside his traditional songwriting partners rankled Roda-Gil, a situation that snowballed after the singer publicly complained that he was tired of fans asking him to explain Roda-Gil's complex, often polemical lyrics. Ultimately, they suffered a very public falling-out and did not speak for over a decade, until Clerc declared a truce by attending the funeral of Roda-Gil's wife, Nadine, in 1992. Nevertheless, in 1979 Clerc agreed to headline the musical 36 Front Populaire, composed by Jean-Pierre Bourtayre and Jean-Claude Petit with lyrics by Roda-Gil. For a number of reasons the production never made it to the stage, however, although the songs were still recorded and released as a two-LP set.
After traveling to Canada to record his next solo LP, 1980's Clerc Julian, the singer also ended his long professional relationship with Petit, although he renewed ties with Momo for the follow-up, Sans Entracte, which also featured a pair of contributions from the legendary Serge Gainsbourg. A pair of sold-out March 1981 appearances in Lyon made up Clerc's second live album, Vendredi 13. Shortly after, his romance with Miou-Miou dissolved, and he channeled his anguish into the starkly intimate Femmes, Indiscrétions et Blasphemes, his first recording for new label Virgin and one of the best-selling LPs of his career.
After meeting horse-riding champion Virginie Couperie, whom he married in 1985, Clerc returned to a more optimistic approach for his next LP, Aime-Moi. With "Mélissa," co-authored with a new collaborator, David McNeil, he scored one of his biggest-ever hits, selling over 700,000 copies. Clerc then toured Africa, Canada, and Brazil before taking a 12-month break, resurfacing in 1987 with Les Aventures à l'Eau; McNeil again contributed the album's biggest hit, "Hélène." After another lengthy hiatus, he traveled to New York City to work with producer Phil Ramone on 1990's Fais Moi une Place, widely hailed as his most consistent record in years. At the end of 1990 he headlined a production of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf featuring the Radio France Orchestra. With 1992's Utile, Clerc reunited with Roda-Gil for an album's worth of new collaborative material, and the following year he headlined the Olympia for the first time in close to two decades.
In 1997, he issued Julien, and in 1998 toured the U.S. for the first time as part of an international tour spanning close to three years in all. On 2000's Si J'Étais Elle, Clerc teamed with everyone from supermodel Carla Bruni to Franco-Algerian author Nina Bouraoui. The two-volume live set Julien Déménage followed in 2002, and the following year he issued Studio, a collection of American pop standards.
During 2005 Clerc released Double Enfant that dealt with themes that were highly personal to the singer. One that was well documented on the record is the divorce of his parents that led to the title Double Enfant -- which refers to Clerc's two childhoods via the separation of his parents. Three years later he released Où S'en Vont les Avions which marked 40 years in show business for the French crooner. Over one hundred tour dates were scheduled in support of the album, culminating in a five day stint at the Palais des Sports arena in Paris. In 2011 Clerc released his 22nd studio album Fou, Peut-Être that included tracks written by the winner of French TV show Nouvelle Star, Julien Doré and renowned French entertainer Charles Aznavour. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

walk away from this one by goodoldsue on 09/07/2012. Trim: 2005 Volkswagen New Beetle GLS 1.8L Convertible, Owned 5 years.
Pros: fun to drive...get lots of compliments on the looks of the car, but I never recommend owning one to anybody when they ask how I like it!!
Cons: all four window mechanisms have broken, with one breaking twice!! very expensive to fix....I don't even use the windows that much..car loses power when gas level falls below 1/4 tank...dangerous!! lining around back window sags blocking some vision...won't buy another vw...and the dealership is extremely annoying to deal with...I don't even bother taking it to the dealer anymore..it doesn't meet the criteria for a lemon car but is sure meets the criteria for junk!!!
Overall review: sorry I purchased this...

"Pinkie" by FLECH on 10/13/2012. Trim: 2005 Volkswagen New Beetle GLS 2.0L Convertible, Owned 3 years.
Pros: I love driving it, the color (pink) having the top down and it's just fun. It's a warm weather car not for winter driving.
Cons: The windows jump up & down then they break and won't go down at all. The back window is falling out and it leaks. It is very delicate. I have ripped the door handles off, the hood latch & the front seat levers for the back release. It drives ok but you have to watch the road all the time or you're somewhere you don't want to be. Not a car for teenagers, texting or inattention. If it sits for more than 2 days the battery needs to be charged or it won't start.
Overall review: The new VW conv. beetle does not compare to the older versions. My 1975 was metal, had a head liner, padding & then a better material for the convertible top. No problem with the back window & you could roll the windows with regular hand cranks. Everything is electrcal in the newer ones & if something gets wet or sorts you're screwed. This is my mid-life crisis car but won't buy another and not recommended for teenagers.

TDI is Great!!! by Runjoe in Ohio on 12/20/2009. Trim: 2005 Volkswagen New Beetle GLS 1.9L TDI, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I bought the car as a commuter car once fuel prices went through the roof. The diesel engine is very powerful and quick. The car is fun to drive and the fuel mileage averages 40mpg on the highway! The handling feels like a sports car!
Cons: The rear window leaks!!! We have taken it back to the dealer several times and they keep "fixing" it to no avail. The rear hatch often requires two attempts to open. Be ware of driving in heavy winds it can be a bit scary. The rear end gets light above 72mph, VW should have installed the automatic rear spoiler on all models because of the cars aerodynamic properties.
Overall review: A Great car with a few quirks, but what car doesn't have its issues. Buy it with realistic expectations and you'll enjoy it as much as we do. The kids (ages 2 and 5) love "their" Slug Bug, and so do mom and dad!

She spits rhymes, looks fabulous doing it and has followed Queen Latifah's path by crossing over to acting. The two paw print tattoos at her cleavage line seem to say, 'f*ck with me and I'll scratch your eyes out.' But in a playful way. Born Eve Jihan Jeffers on November 10, 1978, and raised in the tough streets of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she stripped before linking up with Philly rapper DMX and his Ruff Ryders crew in the late '90s. Her debut album Let There Be Eve peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's 200 charts in 1999 and her two subsequent albums reached No. 1 on the hip-hop charts. She also won a Grammy in 2001 for her duet with ska/pop siren Gwen Stefani 'Let Me Blow Ya Mind.' She starred in her self-titled TV sitcom from '03-to-'06 on UPN and has done movies including two Barbershops (2002, 2004). She is rumored to have dumped the super rich son of Equitorial Guinea's president around '06 -- over his cheating ways and claims that his father tortures political opponents. Oh, that little thing?

For startups looking to break into the market, identifying their customer is obvious.
Far too often, however, startups tend to look at target audiences as one amorphous group that has the same characteristics, needs and interests.
The problem with a one-size-fits-all approach is while "the customer" may appear to be the same, they may actually break down into several target segments with slightly differently needs and interests.
A startup's product may serve all customer segments but the messaging to reach them can't be the same. What works well for one group, may not resonate with another.
To get a better handle on your customer segments, a valuable exercise is persona creation.
This involves discovering and drilling down into the different types of potential buyers. It means answering questions such as:
- How old are they?
- What are their specific needs and interests?
- Where do they discover information about your products?
- What would solve their problems or make them successful?
- How would they look like a hero to their boss?
In creating personas, startups may discover there are several distinct groups of customers. As a result, the startup may have to change its marketing and sales strategy and tactics to effectively pursue them.
This scenario happened with a client recently that was targeting social media managers. In creating personas, it became apparent that while social media managers were a target audience, other customer segments included digital marketers and chief marketing officers and PR/digital agencies.
Each of these customers could be served by the product but their needs and goals were different. It became obvious that having a single marketing and sales approach wasn't going to work well.
So how are personas created?
It begins with being open to the idea there are different kinds of customers. Then, each customer has to be personalized. The easiest way is giving each of them a name, and then layering on characteristics such as age, job title, experience and responsibilities.
Let's look at a small business owner looking for accounting products. One customer could be "Mary", who runs a 10-person small business. Mary does her own accounting using Excel but needs accounting software to accommodate growth.
Another group could be "John", who handles accounting and HR for a 25-person business with $5-million in sales. John is using basic accounting software but needs something more powerful and able to integrate with the company's CRM system.
Mary and John could use the same accounting software but their needs are different. It means the messaging has to be personalized rather than generalized.
For startups, the big challenge is having a balance between having corporate messaging that embraces different types of customers and, at the same time, being able to speak to these customers in different ways.
The creation of personas is not only important but it could reveal surprising and valuable insight to jump-start your marketing and sales efforts.
There are many ways to create personas, including an online service called personapp.

Heat exchanger problem in Thermodynamics.
by HollowScar
Tags: heat exchanger, mass flow rate, specific heat, steam, thermodynamics
|Share this thread:
Nov25-10, 04:30 PM
I get the basics now, but this problem has got me stumped. I am trying to figure out where to start.
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
In a heat exchanger, cold water flows through the tubes of the exchanger. It enters at 5.5°C, and leaves at 65°C. In the shell of the exchanger steam is being condensed. The steam enters at atmospheric pressure and 100°C, and the condensate that is formed leaves the exchanger before it can be cooled. The flow rate of the steam is 15.0 kg/s. What is the cooling flow rate?
2. Relevant equations
Oil flows through a heat exchanger at a flow rate of 125 L/min. It enters at 20°C and leaves at 75°C. The oil has a specific heat of 2.84 kJ/kgK and a relative density of 0.8. The oil is being heated by steam. The steam enters the heat exchanger at 100°C and the condensate formed leaves the heat exchanger at 85°C. Calculate the mass flow rate of the steam.
3. The attempt at a solution
First thing we know is that cool water flows through the tube, and exits as warm water. In the shell, steam is being condensed. So basically water turns into steam.
Q (cool water absorbing heat) becomes hot water.
Q = mcΔt + mLv + mcΔt (water becomes steam)
The idea is solid, but I am not sure how I take the above, and find the flow rate. For all I know, those two are different categories.
Thank you for your help. I am this close to finishing up the course, so stumbling at this point does hurt, but the help which I receive will mean a lot to me.

The Panaceum story starts in 1952, when two local Geraldton doctors started the Geraldton Medical Group. The practice operated from the Town Towers building before moving into the Royce Wing in the Community Health Centre near the Regional Hospital on Shenton Street in 1977.
With the construction of the new public hospital in 2004 and the establishment of resident doctors there, having an on site private practice was no longer deemed advantageous by Country Health, so the Medical Group had to to seek alternative premises in April 2005.
This move has precipitated many changes within the practice with the employment of a business development manager and an expansion of Enhanced Primary Care and the utilization of more nurses in patient management.
In 2005 a site at 111 Augustus St was leased and refurbished as temporary accommodation and four doctors from the group moved in. This practice had been quickly outgrown, and with Dr Aubrey Francis joining the practice, a second site at 32 Holland St was leased. Since 2006 more doctors, nurses and staff have joined the medical group, and plans were made to build a bigger multi purpose primary health centre.
In October 2008 the Geraldton Medical Group entered the prestigious BRW fast 100 list at no. 98! The BRW Fast 100 looks at the fastest-growing Australian companies.
Land was purchased for the construction of a new health centre at 233 Lester Avenue. On 27th October 2008 the Geraldton Medical Group relocated to the new state of the art building. The health service was named 'Panaceum', derived from 'Panacea': In Greek mythology, Panacea was the goddess of healing. She symbolises the power of treatment of all diseases.
The Panaceum Group has been successfully providing clients with access to a wide range of health services, enabling better coordination of care for clients. It's about looking after the whole patient, not just parts. By 2011 the health centre was already operating at its maximum capacity. When the owner of another group practice in town decided to sell up and leave town, the Panaceum Group took over the practice located in the beautiful former Victoria District Hospital building. The University Medical Practice is part of the Panaceum Group since July 2011.
Our Awards
In 2011 Panaceum was a finalist in the Large Business Excellence Awards of the Mid West Chamber of Commerce. We made the BRW fast 100: 98th fastest growing business in Australia in 2008. Our Travel Clinic Vaccination Service has been awarded Best New Clinic 2010 by Travel Clinics Australia. The Geraldton Medical Group was WAGPET Training Practice of the Year finalist in 2009. Also in 2009, the Panaceum facility received the 'Excellence in Universal Access Award'. Panaceum building has received other awards like the Commercial/Industrial Building Award.

Hey Meetup Leaders,
I have received several requests to have another Meetup on "How to grow your Meetup membership". So i think it is a good idea to have this event twice a year.
1) Member Meet & Greet (Starts at 6:00pm)
2) Collaborative Networking
3) Featured Presentation (Starts at 6:30pm)
4) Short Q&A for Featured Presenter(s) (Starts at 7:00pm)
5) End Meeting (End 7:30pm)
I can't wait to meet everyone, hear about your experiences, and share ideas on how to make the Meetup experience an unforgettable one.
P.S. I am very open to ideas for this group. Especially Meetup topics.
It's 4.5hrs b4 the event but we still hv just 3 attending

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Let me start off by saying that I love Wow and feel that even Cataclysm was pretty decent (though not as good as Wrath) and I also love LFR.
I have to disagree with this article as well. I felt the Deathwing fights to be underwhelming. The first problem is Deathwing
as a character. He doesn't have much of a personality and to be quite honest, I find it hard to take him seriously. In humonoid form
he looks like a Darth Malak wanna-be and then he transforms into a dragon and retains his metal jaw...like Bruce Banner's pants changing size when he
becomes the Hulk. Yeah, I know he's magical, but its still comical. Maybe its me...maybe all those years of He-man have taught me not to take anything that
looks like Trap Jaw seriously.
The 2nd problem are the fights. I know what they were trying to go for with Spine of Deathwing (mainly showing the sheer size of Deathwing compared to us), but there's definitely
something missing. It doesn't really feel like you are on Deathwing. It reminds me of when I played Super Mario Bros 2 back in the day and got
half way through the board and go...oh, those islands I'm jumping on are whales...Every once in a while in the middle of an add fight of bloods and
tenticles I look down and go..that's right, they changed the floor of this part to look like a dragon....
I also feel like Madness didn't convey the feeling of fighting Deathwing...just feels like another repetitive add fight. Instead of a dragon, you
are fighting a mess of limbs that you can't identify, tenticles, and more tenticles. To touch base with what a previous poster said, it is very
similar in alot of ways to the Yogg fight in Ulduar with was loved by many (myself included). For example, in both, there are aspects/ keepers assisting you who can grant
certain buffs and in both, the fight can be made easier/ harder by using less keepers/ changing the order of the platforms and in both, there are lots and lots tenticles. But, with Yogg, that was expected. He was an old God. You knew going in it was gonna be a mess of
tenticles, faceless ones, and lots of weird stuff. With Deathwing, we expected to fight a dragon. I'm not saying his fight had to be the same old
plain vanilla dragon fight, i.e, he breathes fire and does a tail whip anymore than Arthas' fight had to be the same as any other humanoid fight we've done in the past.
Regardless of the character model and lore, the Yogg fight was straight up more interesting. And lets me honest, its an add fight...a very very good add fight. Lets start with the first phase. Adds spawn randomly around the room and have to be picked up by the tanks, while dps
burns them but controls the output to avoid killing them until they are kited back into the center, healers running constantly to keep in range of the tanks, while everyone in the
raid stays aware of their surroundings to avoid walking into green clouds which would spawn more adds. The pace starts up slow and ramps up fast.
Lets compare that to Madness. Where does the big tenticle come out?
At the back of the
platfrom every single time. Does the raid have to be aware of where they stand...nope, zone out and look at healbot if you like. Does the dps have to monitor their output? Nope go all out all the time...just switch to the giant
meteor once a platform and call it a day.
Phase two of Yogg had incredible coordination, who was going into portals, which portals would they go into, which direction would the mobs be killed once inside, dpsing the brain but getting out just before the insanity timer was up. What does Madness have?
There are no parts where the raid separates, everyone jumps in unison from one platfrom to another...just follow the herd. There's no "switch to the tenticle to free the holy priest", "debuff the slow so I can make my portal", "kill the huntard because he's mindcontrolled"....
its just dps the adds, Maybe single target some....
Nevermind phase three of Yogg which of a storm of adds, while everyone in the raid had to be responsible for their own insanity debuff or permanently have their character mind controlled.
I know the Yogg fight would NEVER be compatible with LFR, but it does show why many people feel let down by the mechanics of the Deathwing encounters.

Soul Doctor is not the dancingest show on Broadway (that would be Newsies) but it has some scenes where the dancing is central. The story is about Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, famed for the singing and dancing joy he spread in the 1960s. The musical, which officially opens Aug. 15, juxtaposes Jewish and black traditions, with deft choreography by Benoit-Swan Pouffer.
In the preview on Saturday, one dancer stood out because he expressed the freedom that's crucial to the story: Abdur-Rahim Jackson, a Juilliard grad who's danced with Ailey, Complexions, and Beyoncé. He shimmied and shook with no prescribed path for his limbs. His liquid quality allowed energy to radiate beyond his body, especially in the scene where he gets saved in church—because of the Rabbi's singing of course. After that moment, I was watching him for the rest of the show—which I highly recommend.
The scene where Nina Simone and Shlomo meet (based on true events) is what I would call racially riveting. You could hear a pin drop during the dialog when they discover their share suffering at the hands of racist violence. (The book/libretto is by Daniel S. Wise, who also directed.)
Whether or not you have a special interest in either Carlebach or Simone, the larger story of the struggle between tradition and innovation applies to everyone.

Beautiful Virus Art: Glass Microbiology Sculptures by Luke Jerram (Picture Gallery)Bizarre — By Dave on 2011/06/13 7:43 PM
Just in case you had hard time visualizing what E.coli bacteria looks like, artist Luke Jerram makes wonderful glass sculptures that try to capture the beauty of some of the world's most deadly viruses.
The virus sculptures are approximately 1,000,000 times larger than the actual viruses and are designed in consultation with virologists from the University of Bristol, using a combination of different scientific photographs and models. They are made in collaboration with glassblowers Kim George, Brian Jones and Norman Veitch.

If there's a silver lining to the end of summer, it's the return of pumpkin-flavored treats -- particularly pumpkin lattes.
There's nothing quite as comforting as sipping on a toasty pumpkin beverage when there's a nip in the air. The bright fall flavor of pumpkin pie spices makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over. It's no wonder so many restaurant chains and coffee shops add the seasonal treat to their menus.
The only dilemma: Which brand to choose? Here, we pit two of the most popular lattes -- Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts -- against each other to determine the one pumpkin latte to rule them all.
**The following product comparison is between two similar products: Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte and Dunkin' Donuts Pumpkin Latte (both made with 2 percent milk). Prices may vary based on location.
Beverage: Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, 16 oz.
Price: $3.79 (plus tax)
Nutrition: 380 calories, 13 grams of fat
Overall: Starbucks' version is bold and bitter with intense espresso, pumpkin, and cinnamon flavors. The only sweetness comes from whipped cream topping.
Beverage: Dunkin' Donuts Pumpkin Latte, 16 oz.
Price: $2.79 (plus tax)
Nutrition: 330 calories, 9 grams of fat.
Overall: The latte at Dunkin' Donuts is more rich and frothy than its Starbucks counterpart, with brighter, warmer flavors of pumpkin pie and a variety of fall spices (including cinnamon). Caramel drizzle on top really amps up the sweetness factor.
The verdict? As is evident from the calorie content, both drinks should be considered a treat, but the Dunkin' Donuts version tastes more like one. Still, it all comes down to which coffee you prefer: I typically think Dunkin' Donuts has the better brew, but Starbucks' fans will argue that the Pumpkin Spice latte tastes more like espresso -- and, therefore, more sophisticated.
Which pumpkin latte is your favorite?
Images via Starbucks.com; DunkinDonuts.com
I'm going to go with Dunkin's, mainly because I don't enjoy the Starbucks' experience. The one that's closest to me is ALWAYS packed and the drive-thru is poorly run, and at least half the time I drive off, take a sip of my drink, and realized I just paid $5 for something I didn't order. Their drinks are generally too hot for me to taste them right out of the window to make sure, so there's no way around it for me.
I ain't picky I LOVE them both!!!
I don't know what my deal is, but I'm not loving Starbuck's version as much this year. Did they change the formula? I'm having to go with a 6-pump (additional pump) and breve Venti Pumpkin Spice to make it as good as I remembered.
Dunkin Donut's... don't have one, don't care to.
Every morning I swing by Dunkin Donuts to pick up a pumpkin spice coffee (not a latte) and it's delish! i cant justify spending triple the price at starbucks for half the size that you get at DD.
Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice all the way!
Dunkins. With a pumpkin muffin.
I like the refrigerated pumpkin flabored coffee creamer
I haven't tried either but they look yummy.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Having recently made my off-spec Holy, I knew this after 10 minutes.
I watched the bubbles change number, never stack, and the numbers were laughable.
Why the devs can't figure this out with an entire beta, and months into the expansion is beyond me. Making the bubble stack would at least put it close to on par with haste.
Have it stack whenever you have a crit and it might even make all the secondary stats decent.
As it stands, the tier shoulders are worse than the shoulders in Heroic Throne of Tides. Something is wrong when you look at a 359 and think "meh."
The tier shoulders have crit - not mastery, which can be reforged into haste. The intellect gain over the heroic blues is 100% worth it due to Intellect being the most important stat by a landslide. The tier shoulders also have a red socket.
Crit may not be our most desirable stat, but you're going to want more than a couple % spell crit to keep Conviction up.
Now for something relevant to the article, the change to 15s would be helpful if we start raid healing. I doubt the holy priest wants to switch jobs though.
Yea, I mixed up mastery and crit in that comparison. Of course, the fact that tier shoulders have THE worst stat all over them seems kind of counter productive. Come to think of it, as Chase has already mentioned "Where's the effing Haste on Holydin tier?!"
Losing 30 int for that insane amount of haste isn't actually a bad thing though, especially with it having all that crit.
The 15 second thing, for raid healing? Not so much. If you have no disc priest, maybe it is nicer than nothing, but really it isn't going to matter. Our raid heals are "Holy Light, which isn't going to make a bubble that matters much at all, divine radiance (see article over how bad that is with our mastery) and "pop a 3 minute CD and watch our buddy emulate 4 heals."
Those bubbles are not going to help much at all for raid healing.

Flabellina sp.

Chromodoris magnifica
Rhinophores (literally "nose-bearing") are the 'horns' atop a nudibranch. They are olfactory organs able to sense chemicals dissolved in the water. Their intricate structure allows for a very large surface area over which to … smell.
Thuridilla sp. by Samantha Craven
Thuridilla is a genus of sacoglossan sea slugs, shell-less marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Plakobranchidae. They are not nudibranchs, but are often confused for them.
Elysia ornata by Samantha Craven
Nudibranch Eggs (possibly Hypselodoris sp.)
After their freaky hermaphroditic mutual sperm swap, both nudibranchs lay seperate egg ribbons. In most cases these are laid directly on the species food source. The shape, colour and design is often characteristic of the specific group or Family.
Most are toxic to deter predation. But then we don't really expect any less from nudibranchs, do we?
Wavy-lined Bubble Shell (Micromelo undata)
The name bubble shell is a little misleading as not all species have shells. Some do have strong shells they are able to retract into, while others have very thin shells or none at all.
Komodo '11: Day Four: Deadman's Island
Great wall dive. One of the first things spotted were these two HUGE Pleurobranchs.
Pleurobranchus is a genus of side-gilled slugs [Suborder: Notaspidea]. Their anatomy is characterized by a single, external ctenidium (respiratory apparatus) on the right side, rolled rhinophores, and a flattened shell.
I have no idea what this species is. Help very welcome. Any ideas?

A new restaurant isn't the only thing that will allow people to come out and enjoy downtown Owensboro. It's also the space above the business.
A new building will soon open at River Front Crossing that has a restaurant on the first floor and apartments on the second. It's the type of investment that downtown Owensboro has been looking for.
Tim Turner says he has spent the last several months making sure his pizza was just right. After countless hours of hard work he is anxious to finally open his restaurant and have people try his product.
"The key part is to make sure you have fresh ingredients and making sure you have the correct recipes," said Tim Turner, Fetta Specialty Pizza & Spirits Managing Partner.
Turner's location near Smothers Park isn't the only thing that makes his building unique. There are two new apartments above the restaurant that gives people an urban living experience. It's part of the 2009 master plan to make downtown the heart and soul of Owensboro.
"That's what it's all about is giving folks the opportunity to enjoy downtown however they feel," said Joe Berry, the Greater Owensboro Economic Development Corporation.
The Greater Owensboro Economic Development Corporation says they are looking forward to other opportunities to have a mix use building like Turner's building that bring people out to enjoy downtown Owensboro.
"All the different people that go into the make up of this new revitalization just makes everybody that's from Owensboro very excited about being here," said Turner.
Fetta Specialty Pizza and Spirits opens its doors on Labor Day.

Editors' reviewThis aptly named utility prevents your CD and DVD drives from being opened with an eject button. CDRom-Lock has a no-frills interface that lets you select a CD/DVD drive from a drop-down list, lock or unlock it, and open or close the drive. (The interface opens in German, so select Edit, which is the middle choice on the menu; open Preferences; and select English as the language.) Locking the drive renders your eject button useless. At that point, the only way to open the drive is to do it through the CDRom-Lock interface. All CD-ROM action options worked flawlessly in our tests. The application is easy to use, so you won't miss the absent help file. Any user who needs to keep her CDs or DVDs locked for security reasons or often accidentally presses the eject buttons on the CPU will surely find this simple freeware beneficial.
Publisher's Description
Have you ever pushed the button of your CD/DVD drive by accident? This small program blocks the eject button at almost every CD/DVD drive and gives the user the power of controlling the CD/DVD drive by a small icon at the Windows system tray. This is a useful tool for all users working with their notebooks as well as for desktop users.
Version 0.6.1 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Road trips with children are notoriously no fun. The last big one I took with my family was from Boston to Chesapeake Bay, which turned out to be 10 hours for what should have been an 8.5-hour trip. It wasn't SO bad, but the reason it was like that was because of bathroom breaks. Our 4- and 5-year-old seemed to have to pee every five seconds (was it all that juice we kept bribing them with?), so we were constantly in search of bathrooms.
That was a summer trip. Now, it's the dead of winter, and if we were going to take a long road trip, the weather would give me great pause and concern. I am not sure how we would deal with the frequent stops and the risk of bad weather. But one thing is sure -- I wouldn't put my potty-trained kids in diapers.
It seems insane, right? But apparently, SOME parents are doing this on long road trips.
Never mind the fact that I am not sure I could wrestle my now 6-year-old daughter into a diaper if I tried. My 4-year-old son may do it. He may even like it, which, er, is about 90 percent of why I would never do it.
For my daughter though, it would be so undignified. I know how she feels about her body and she is proud of being a big kid. She would be humiliated and angry if I ever put her back in diapers. I mean, honestly, who would ever think of this?
Would you put your husband in a diaper for a long road trip? It seems borderline abusive. A lot of things are OK in parenting, but this just seems wrong.
Children take so much pride in the things they accomplish as they learn and grow. It's hard to imagine taking that away from them just because you want to get somewhere faster.
So, no. I wouldn't put a potty-trained child back in diapers for a road trip. The only exception MIGHT be if he or she specifically asked and brought it up on his or her own. Then maybe. But even then, I can't imagine saying OK. It just feels wrong.
Would you ever put potty-trained kids back in diapers for a car ride?

WTF?! Judging much? My son is 3 and we have been making long roadtrips/flying since he was 2 months old. He's been potty trained for about 2-3 months and I'd put him in a diaper in a heartbeat for a roadtrip. Maybe not the 6 year old but a 3, 4, or a 5 year old? They're probably still using diapers at night anyway.
No way! My daughter is three & we will be taking our trip from New Windsor, NY to Oak Island, NC again this summer (a 12h trip without stops). There is no way we would put her in diapers for that! She is very vocal about when she has to go potty and has been fully potty trained since early September with very little accidents. We need to stop anyhow so she can stretch her legs - I don't expect a toddler to just sit in a car seat for more than half a day. Some people have unrealistic expectations of their children.
what's your source that people are putting 4 and 5 year olds in diapers? My son is nearly 3 and is potty trained but we are traveling around Asia and will be for another 6 months or more and they don't have much in the way of public restrooms so yea he's in a diaper. He goes diaper free when home but it's just more practical this way. I see nothing wrong with it.
When my son was 3-4 he was goin perfectly at home but ya car trips were iffy so I put his portable potty in the trunk in case of emergencies
No, I woudn't. My kids were potty trained at 2 1/2 (son) and 3 (daughter) and after each, we just never bought diapers again. My kids also never wore diapers at bednight once they were potty trained. I know some kids have issues with wetting the bed but I guess we just got lucky with ours. I did know one woman who son was potty trained for urine but would not have a bowel movement in diapers for almost a year. I was very hard on her so I don't judge if you have a kid who still needs to wear diapers for issues beyond your control. Every kid is different. Now, if you are putting fully potty trained kids in diapers more for your convinence than theirs, than I do think thats just lazy.
