In his first season as a head coach, David Johnson led Swainsboro to its first 10-0 regular season since 1999.
And it was no piece of cake, he said.
"Just because you're 10-0 doesn't mean it was easy," Johnson told GHSF Daily on Thursday. "When I finished last season, I probably was as exhausted as ever I've been as a coach. It took me a month before I felt like I was really rested up. It's a crazy livelihood. Talk about roller coasters. It's something else, now."
Now, Johnson is rolling down the other side of the hill. The Tigers are 0-3 for the first time since 2002.
But Swainsboro is not alone. There are 64 winless teams in Georgia. Swainsboro is just more conspicuous than the rest.
Swainsboro returned an all-state candidate at fullback in Quan Gardner, a 230-pounder, but he has been injured and missed last week's game against Dodge County, which drove 90 yards in the fourth quarter for a winning touchdown in a 13-9 victory. Swainsboro also has struggled at quarterback in the Wing-T but now settled on a freshman to run it in Da'Korey Somerville.
"We're not going to use that rebuilding excuse, though," Johnson said. "We expect better. We think we're capable of winning every Friday night. We've just got to get that first one and get some confidence back. If we do that, this team can make a run."
The Tigers play tonight against Jefferson County, another team that has struggled unexpectedly. A year ago, Swainsboro and Jefferson County were Region 3-AA's best two teams. Both were undefeated when they played each other, and Swainsboro won 38-37 on a two-point conversion in overtime.
Here are the five winless teams that stand out the most:
*Apalachee: The Wildcats were 12-1 in 2009 and started 5-1 in 2010 before finishing 6-4. This season, they feature Stanley Williams, a sophomore running back who has committed to Georgia. But they are 0-3 for the first time since 2002 after close losses to Habersham Central (38-35) and Salem (14-7) and a shootout loss to state-ranked Flowery Branch (52-35). Tonight, they play at 4-0 Heritage of Conyers.
*Roswell: The Hornets are 0-4 for the first time since 1952. If there's a winless team that can win a region, though, it's Roswell. The Region 5-AAAAA opener is tonight at North Forsyth (0-4). Roswell won the region last year after an 0-3 start. All four losses have come against playoff contenders, including state-ranked Walton and Norcross.
*Miller County: The Pirates have won at least one round in the playoffs each of the past three seasons (only seven other Class A schools can say that.) But they're 0-3 this season for the first time since 2006. Star running back T.T. Barber was moved to quarterback this season, but the team has managed only eight points in three games.
*Savannah Country Day: SCD is 0-4 after a 3-1 start last year toward a 6-4 finish. This season was expected to be a rough one, though. Graduated are QB Tate O'Connor (2,401 yards passing), RB Morris Watson (1,074 yards rushing) and WR Kevin Blackburne (53 catches, 1,002 yards).
*Swainsboro: The Tigers hope to get Gardner back for the Jefferson County game. He rushed for 1,255 yards last season and scored the winning touchdown against Jefferson County.

Based on everything I have read/seen I would say the timeline in WoW is basically this:
Fiver years from the emergence (post binding with Arthas) of the Lich King. While in Northrend Westfall and SW was rebuilt, Lich King defeated, Trolls and Gnomes reclaimed their homelands.
Coming home from Northrend we find elemental unrest over several months in "game" time and now the Shattering. What we see in patch 4.0.3a is the initial aftershock of the Shattering, where we all are still figuring out what happened, cleaning up the damage and stopping further destruction (Darkshore).
The Cataclysm expansion will move the world forward a bit more, but more importantly retcon the Golblins and Worgen in (the area is currently phased to be basically deserted after the Forsaken invasion). Azshara is already reformed by Goblins in 4.0.3a.
So patch 4.0.3a is like a big event with an almost real-time vibe to it. This is the weeks after Sept. 11, basically.
It's really messy, but I think that's the best way to internalize all these changes.

Acclaimed artists take viewers 'Beyond the Wunderkammer' through Oct. 27 in University's main Boston gallery
Friday, September 06, 2013
From now to the end of October, the Lesley University College of Art and Design is presenting its Main Gallery in Kenmore Square as a modern version of the 16th-century wunderkammer — a cabinet of curiosities.
Artists Lasse Antonsen, Mark Dion, Jesseca Ferguson, Steve Hollinger, Rosamond Wolff Purcell and others are exhibiting their various stunning and original work in one of the university's galleries at 700 Beacon St., Boston.
"Beyond the Wunderkammer," a free exhibition, kicked off Sept. 4. An artists' reception is Sept. 12 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the gallery. The Lesley University College of Art and Design is the new name of The Art Institute of Boston, which for 100 years has helped shape the ideas and career paths of visual artists and designers.
The antecedents of the wunderkammer lie in the 16th century, when scholars, scientists, monarchs and artists began to assemble collections associated with the wonders of natural history, especially specimens of flora and fauna discovered by explorers circling the globe.
Curator of the show Bonnell Robinson writes: "The exhibition focuses on artists working in the spirit of the wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities, who are drawn to the multiplicity of meanings that unfold as objects find new and unexpected contexts.
"Natural science or fantastic invention, the wunderkammer can be a fact or a riddle, a reality or a dream, a means or an end."
A repository of the elusive, arcane and bizarre, the gallery is filled with specimens from natural history, taxidermy, photographs, drawings, kinetic sculpture, assemblages, scientific tools and objects, and everyday objects re-contextualized and transformed.
Lasse Antonsen's assemblages and collages seem to follow in the classic tradition of the wunderkammer as an archive of natural history, but his witty, playful approach offers elegant surprises and raises questions of authenticity. Is the object real or invented? Fact or fiction?
Mark Dion's shell collection from Fall River, Mass., and his "Travels with William Bartram" pay homage to the naturalist who collects, identifies and catalogs in order to study the workings of the universe through things large and small. Here, the wunderkammer is a site of investigation, both physical and intellectual.
Jesseca Ferguson presents a cabinet of wonder and also her studies of the moon, its phases and mysteries explored through telescopic images, antique prints and schematic renderings. Lush gum prints show how physical facts as described by text and image can be transformed into a visual poetry that points to the beauty of our world as well as the interior life of the artist.
Steve Hollinger's wooden boxes on the outside appear to have weathered time and use, but closer inspection reveals an interior microcosmic world of activity and even metamorphosis. His sources of energy are light, breath and the viewer's own movement around the work.
Rosamond Purcell brings strange and marvelous objects into play with images based on Shakespeare made in the reflections of antique bottles. Layers of mottled mercury held in glass provide a reflecting wunderkammer of distortions from figurative to abstract.

Lowndes County-- A body found in a ditch is identified as a suspect in a highway stop last month.
Forty-year-old Vernon Alexander Perry's body was discovered Saturday in a water-filled ditch in southern Lowndes County.
On January 25th, Perry of Decatur was stopped on I-75, police said he had been driving erratically. While officers interviewed his female passenger, Perry fled into the woods.
Police were unable to find him, but they did discover a large amount of cocaine and marijuana in his car. An autopsy is being done to determine the cause of death.

UPDATE: I have stopped using this because it dried my skin out really bad. It also made it break out and become extremely itchy. I gave it to my mom and she broke out into hives from it. I read on Paula Begoun's site that mineral foundations if they contain Bismuth Oxychloride make a lot of people break out. If I ever try a mineral foundation again, I will look for ones without that ingredient. She also said that there is nothing in them that really makes your skin healthier.*********************************************************************** I really like this product. It gives me a totally natural look but still is able to cover up my imperfections and even out my skin tone. I did use MAC's concealer for my dark circles and blemishes before this. I do think it wears really well, because I applied it this morning at 6:45am and now 8 hours later, it is still there looking good. It doesn't feel like I am wearing anything at all. The only things I did not like about this are the price, I just wish it was under $10 and the brush on it is a little scratchy, wish it was softer. I paid $14.99 for it at Walgreens, I think next time I will buy it at Walmart. Those two reasons though are not a good enough reason to never buy it again, though considering how much I love it! Would recommend this if you have nice looking skin and would like a light-medium coverage Mineral powder foundation that gives you a natural look. I will buy this again!

I like this product, but abhor the packaging. I get maybe a month of use out of it before either the brush breaks or most recently, I went to go reach for it in my purse only to realize the bottom had fallen out of it and there is about an inch of powder sitting in my purse. I will probably stop purchasing this product simply because of the packaging.

The perfumerie where I buy my make-up recommended me this because I bought the liquide colorstay with softflex. The woman who owns it has this philosophy that if you use a foundation from one line use a powder from the same line. But I realy, realy don't like this. it doesn't cover, it doesn't stop my skun from getting shiny and it's almost impossible to get anything out of the container. You can't even get your own powder brush into the opening.
Up to 16 hours of wear... I think not.
I originally used Loreal's bare naturale in nude beige, but it was too light for my skin, so after using it for a while, I decided to buy a darker shade at CVS. The price was like 14.99 or something. But then on the 'Revlon' side, I saw this colorstay mineral foundation in BUY 1 GET 1 FREE! So I just decided to buy this product instead. Anxious to try it, the next morning I put my everyday concealer and foundation, then lastly, this new revlon mineral foundation. I realized that the product(powder) is much lighter than the loreal bare naturale. I know some people might like heavier powders, but I actually liked this one better. It perfectly matched my skin tone, and it looked like I didn't have ANY make up on at all. Also, I have pretty oily skin. When I used to use loreal, my face easily got oily after like 2 hours. But this Revlon foundation really sucked in my oil or something, b/c my face wasn't even that oily for like 8 hours!
For those of you who said this is a bad product for oily skinned people, I disagree, b/c it works very nicely on my face!
This is not bad. However, the brush is very very rough. And i felt painful while applying it. I chose yes to buy again cos it may be suitable for others.
I used to use L'Oreal mineral makeup, but when Revlon came out with this I gave it a try. The color match was great, it didn't turn colors or spot through out the day. It's pretty easy to use, not as easy as L'Oreal but comparable. The coverage was nothing as I thought it would be. It was very sheer and light, so sheer I couldn't even build up coverage. It didn't last very long either, so reapplications are a must. Overall, if you have decent skin and are just looking for a light powder foundation to even it out and give it some extra oomph, this is perfect. If you're like me and have some imperfections to hide, this isn't the powder for you.

No no no. Oily/Combo skin ladies BEWARE. The oil on your skin with oxidize and separate this makeup into blotches on your skin. It is also not pigmented at all. I had to layer and layer to get any coverage (and I have almost perfect skin, just two or three pink acne scars). The worst part of all? The packaging! The brush is awful and inadequate, it's tiny and I would imagine it would take an hour to cover your whole face. It was around $11.99, I would spend the extra $13.00 to purchase BE instead of this stuff. Very disappointed. :(
I don't like this foundation. It's impossible to dispense, very messy, and the packaging doesn't help. The coverage is really good, but doesn't last long and is quite obvious. If my skin is even a little bit dry, putting this on will make it feel sretched and tight.
I bought this thinking that since I love Colorstay Active this would also work well. It didn't. My skin looked ashy, chalky and it didn't last on my skin at all. Coverage wasn't great either.
I'm very disappointed w this product. It was too sheer for a foundation and made my skin looked chalky and ashy, not sure if it was because I bought the wrong shade, got it in 60, Medium. Tried it on its own and the coverage was extremely minimal and somehow, when i applied my usual blusher (laneige) over it, the colour appeared very faint even after a few layers. I don't usually have this problem when I use the same blusher over my regular Za 2-way foundation.
The brush is terrible as well, extremely scratchy and made my face itch and sting. Had to use some other brushes to pick up the powder.
Decided to use it as loose powder and it was just a tad better.... still, a very mediocre product for the price. (Got it after 20% discount at Watsons)
Update: Used a few layers of this over my 2-way fdtn and realised that it controlled sebum production quite well. My face starts to shine quite drastically by mid-day and surprisingly, after layering this quite thickly in the mornings, i don't shine as badly by noon. I'm adding another lippie for the impressive oil control qualities this powder has. I suppose nothing else save Roaccutane can help with cutting out shine completely. To give an idea of how this fdtn helped, the oil my face produces usually fills up slightly more than 3/4s of a blotting sheet (i use gatsby's or clean & clear) but with this powder on, i need only half a sheet to absorb all the sebum. Good stuff, may repurchase if it goes on sale again.

Oh, how very interesting, Jabs!
of the mission, tho it does not look as pristine nowadays a bit run down really-its owned by the state and they're broke lo so the adobe daubing is flaking and peeling, exposing the adobe brick and the grounds are unkempt and overgrown, much like the English Manor Houses where the owners have no funds for upkeep:-)
If you look at the pix: to the right of the bell tower, the grounds extend about 50 feet or so and the suddenly drop a distance of a good 35 feet down wit a fairly level 30 or so feet and then dropping another 50 feet or so to the valley floor, which is as flat as a pancake for about 15 miles until it reaches the foothills of the Sierras. Quite interesting to see!

Usually on Fridays I run by the grocery store and pick up something a bit different than the usual, my wife could eat chicken every meal for the rest of her life and be content. Me on the other hand I like to eat and eat good food. Because the price to go out to eat and all these damn kids I've turned to learning to cook. I'm starting to branch out into shit I've never cooked before. The wife's outta town so I decided to go crazy and cook a Swordfish steak, eggplant, and pasta. The Scotch was just for good measure.

I use high quality olive oil, I like the California stuff because its 100% and not cut with lower quality stuff like some of the stuff you find. 3-4 cloves of garlic smashed then minced, a little oregano, a little more parsley, red pepper flakes. Dump you oil in a pan on simmer add everything else to it. Just let it simmer and the oil soak up the flavors while you cook your pasta. A few minutes before the pasta is done turn the heat up and let the garlic pieces caramelize you want it golden brown, if garlic burns it gets really bitter. I don't use a set amount of any ingredient I just add to taste. It doesn't take much more oil than just to cover the bottom of the pan.
When you cook your pasta cook it in saltwater. I'd like to draw a useful distinction, here, between salted water (which many wussy pasta recipes call for) and saltwater. Salted water is freshwater with some salt in it, which might taste a little bit salty, but is still essentially freshwater with some salt in it. Saltwater contains a horrifying amount of salt, tastes and smells like the ocean, and could never pass for freshwater with some salt in it, because it has ceased to be freshwater with some salt in it and has become saltwater, which, as you might now suspect, is why we are calling it saltwater..

Yeah pasta water should taste of the sea.
*high* quality olive oil is bogus.
there NO standards in the USA.
70 percent of the extra virgin olive oil sold worldwide is watered down with other oils and enhancers making them far from virgin.
but, don't take his word for it...Google it....you'll see.

Sacred Tradition: The Forgotten Doctrine | Stephen J. Morrissey | Homiletic & Pastoral Review
The miracle and mystery of divine guidance has been the primary constituent element of Church teaching over the centuries, and this guidance is what makes Tradition "sacred," but rarely is it linked with the teaching of any other doctrine.
In my preparations for teaching an RCIA class recently, I noticed that, in the manuals and catechisms which I perused, there was sparse attention paid to what is the most foundational Catholic doctrine of all—Sacred Tradition. Its explanation is typically relegated to a page, if not a paragraph, in these texts, may be scattered here and there (in one case near the end of the book), and treated as just another doctrine to be held by Catholics. Usually there is an explanation of the "basics": the etymological Latin derivation of the word "tradition," reference to apostolic succession and the apostolic deposit, the action of the Holy Spirit in guiding the transmission of faith, and Tradition's role in a complementary pairing with Scripture to form Revelation.
The miracle and mystery of divine guidance has been the primary constituent element of Church teaching over the centuries, and this guidance is what makes Tradition "sacred," but rarely is it linked with the teaching of any other doctrine. Yet, it is the sine qua non of all doctrines, the font, the key, the source—and if Catholics don't understand and remember it as the basis for all other Church teaching on faith and morals, then they cannot logically understand and accept other doctrines. Perhaps, this partially explains why we have so many "cafeteria" Catholics, and so many Catholics in open dissent from Church teaching. If the Holy Spirit is not guiding the Church in all of its teaching on faith and morals, then it may not be guiding the Church in any of its teachings. If the deposit of faith handed on through the centuries is only a nice idea when convenient, and not a constant reality, then Catholic faith is meaningless. But if the Holy Spirit is, indeed, guiding and animating the Church, then the subject of Sacred Tradition should be front and center in every one of our faith presentations, and linked directly to other doctrines as the ultimate certitude of that doctrine's truth. The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, for example, is credible only if referenced to Sacred Tradition. Presently, from my examination of a representative sample of Catholic catechetical texts, I would say that the importance of Tradition is, in fact, understated in the hundreds of pages of various books, and lost in the catechesis of the myriad of other Catholic teachings. For many Catholics and prospective Catholics, then, the importance of this essential doctrine may fade away, and, for all practical purposes, be forgotten. The insufficiency of catechetical attention to Tradition was recognized by Pope John Paul II in his General Directory for Catechesis in 1997: "It is necessary, however, to examine with particular attention some problems so as to identify their solutions—with regard to the fundamental direction of catechesis, catechetical activity is still usually impregnated with the idea of Revelation, however, the conciliar concept of Tradition is much less influential as inspiration for catechesis. In much catechesis, indeed, reference to Sacred Scripture is virtually exclusive, and unaccompanied by sufficient reference to the Church's long experience and reflection, acquired in the course of her two-thousand-year history. The ecclesial nature of catechesis, in this case, appears less clearly; the interrelation of Sacred Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium, each according to "its proper mode," does not yet harmoniously enrich a catechetical transmission of the faith. 1
Sacred Tradition is important because it is the first, or source, doctrine insofar as we can say that it "began" on Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles, and they began preaching from the deposit of faith. The Church, from its first days, claimed guidance by the Holy Spirit, as promised by Christ, who would teach it everything, and be with it for all time.
Tradition is also important because it is all encompassing.

Collective invention during the British Industrial Revolution: the case of the Cornish pumping engine
AbstractThis paper argues that what Robert Allen has termed collective invention settings (that is, settings in which competing firms share technological knowledge) were a crucial source of innovation during the early phases of industrialisation. Until now this has been very little considered in the literature, which has focused on the patent system as the main institutional arrangement driving the rate of innovation. The paper presents one of these collective invention settings, the Cornish mining district, in detail. It studies the specific economic and technical circumstances that led to the emergence of this collective invention setting and analyses its consequences on the rate of technological innovation.

Before there were museums, there were cabinets of curiosities: rooms filled with works of art, antiquities, and examples of flora and fauna. Intended to provoke awe and reverie, these collections, which emerged in Europe in the 16th century, might appear quirky and haphazard today.
"Beyond the Wunderkammer," a deep and dreamy show in the Main Gallery at Lesley University College of Art and Design, gathers the works of artists whose pieces echo the spirit of those early collections — in German, "wunderkammers."

Further information about SenseWear® Activity and Life Style Monitoring
Our phone hotline:
+49 931 32933-22
We will be pleased to consult you on the selection of the proper instrument model and software, optimally suited to your application.
The New Armband: SenseWear® MF
Wearable Activity and Life Style Monitoring
The versatile, extensively validated, multi-sensory activity and life style monitor
The SenseWear® MF body monitoring system resembles a metabolic holter continuously collecting data about the life style of the test person, about physical activity, rest and sleep times, energy expenditure. All this information is comfortably gathered in "free living" conditions, recorded and analyzed. Due to the continuous sensory tracking of the wearer's thermogenesis, not only activity, but also inactivity, particularly relevant to our modern life style, can be collected, analyzed, and exactly related energy levels.
The Monitoring System comprises the SenseWear® MF armband, an extensively validated medical product, comfortably worn on the upper arm. Continuously acquiring a stream of high-resolution physiological data over a period of up to 28 days the multi-sensory armband records, averages, and stores the data in its internal memory. As an essential part of the Monitoring System, the SenseWear® software, which can be installed on practically any PC, analyzes the recorded information, and organizes the results into graphs and reports. Over any selected period of time, the wearer's energy expenditure (calories burned), duration and level of physical activity, number of steps, rest and sleep times and other lifestyle related parameters can be documented.
The slim design of the Armband and its low weight of only 45 grams including the elastic strap warrant uncompromising "wearability" under most "free living" conditions. Discreetly worn under clothing on the upper arm the monitor can also analyze rest and sleep by evaluating thermogenesis, the heat generated and dissipated from the body, a unique feature other activity monitors cannot offer. These specifications lead to an excellent wearer compliance with daily recording times of typically up to 23 hours, assuring robust data consistency and safety. Proven in a broad range of applications, structured programs, and scientific studies the Armband is applied by clinicians, researchers, personal trainers, dieticians, weight management consultants, research institutions, practices, hospitals, as well as fitness and wellness facilities worldwide.
Excellent wearability and wearer compliance
The typical wear and recording times of up to 23 hours ensure higher statistical safety
Manipulation excluded
Skin sensors detect on-body and off-body times with certainty
Reliable detection of low activity, rest, and sleep
Multi-sensory approach and evaluation of thermo-genesis ensure unprecedented accuracy at all levels of energy expenditure
Data scaling
All parameters are scaled to usual physical dimensions
Artificial intelligence
All evaluation algorithms are based on artificial intelligence (machine learning, neural networks) trained on reference modalities, e.g. indirect calorimetry, as well as on annotated data attained under free living conditions by tens of thousands of individuals (data mining).
The wearable monitor contains four physiological sensors able to identify the full range of physical activities and inactivity making it the ideal tool in a multitude of applications.
Affordable yet highly accurate
Calorimeters may be precise but are demanding instruments not suitable for long-term recording. Actigraphs, pedometers, and accelerometers may be less expensive, but often less accurate or even not applicable. The SenseWear® MF armband though is both, affordable and accurate at the same time.
The slim ergonomic form factor of the SenseWear® MF does not interfere with daily activities, may it be work, leisure, exercise, rest or even sleep. The monitor can be worn under clothing, for short or long durations, practically unfelt by wearer and unnoticed by his environment.
Activity monitoring can't be made easier
The MF armband features a veritable simple application: Just slide the low profile armband over the arm. That's it. Sensing skin contact it starts recording automatically and turns off automatically when taken off.
SenseWear® MF Armband Containing Four Physiological Sensors:
- Skin temperature
senses the body surface temperature
- Galvanic skin reaction (GSR)
senses the skin impedance (stress, perspiration)
- Heat flux
senses the amount of heat dissipated from the body
- Accelerometry in three axes
senses movement and body position
Advanced Algorithms Allow Access to a Host of Life Style Parameters
- Total energy expenditure (kcal)
- Active energy expenditure (kcal)
- Resting energy expenditure ( (kcal)
- Metabolic Equivalent Units (METS)
- Number of steps
- Physical Activity Duration (h:m)
- Sleep time
- Lying down time
Attain New Insights into Activity Patterns and Life Style of Test Persons
With the SenseWear® software data recorded on the SenseWear Armband can easily be transfer to your PC. Most modern software technology based on artificial intelligence analyzes and documents results that you can annotate and share with your peers, clients, or patients.
View Standard SenseWear® Software
Within a few seconds data are downloaded from the armband to your PC, with results displayed in convincing simplicity. Zoom in to one minute or out to weeks, select events, annotate and evaluate, or share by printing or sending a report. It's all at your fingertips!
Scientific studies
The optional SenseWear® Professional software offers a multitude of important functions for scientific studies: Graphical display and documentation of any selected parameter, export of data into xls or csv formats, configuration of channels and sample rates (up to 32 Hz), and more.
View Professional SenseWear® Software
Generating graphs and reports
SenseWear® Professional facilitates the thorough evaluation of your patient's or test person's life style, physical activity, rest and sleep patterns, allowing you new insights based on evidence rather than assessment by cumbersome and error prone diaries or logs. Solid physiological data from most part of the day, with no need to assume or extrapolate, allow impressive statistics, essentially contributing to your scientific work.
View sample report
The applications of the Body Monitoring System are numerous and broad. Already thousands of structured professional, clinical, and research programs and several hundred studies benefited from implementing the SenseWear® Armband. Our reference list comprises internationally renowned institutions with applications in every imaginable area of medicine, sports science, rehabilitation, and research.
Also you can profit from an affordable, accurate, wearable method of monitoring physical activity and lifestyle minute by minute, outside the confines of a lab or physician's office. The SenseWear® system has proven to be indispensable in any program that needs to track, monitor, and analyze energy expenditure, lifestyle, quality of life, activity patterns, stress levels, resting behavior, sleep efficiency or other important life style related data.
The SenseWear® Armband Monitoring System has been successfully applied in:
- Diabetology
- Endocrinology
- Obesity Research
- Metabolic Disorders
- Nutritional medicine
- Bariatric medicine
- Pediatrics
- Pulmonary medicine
- Sleep studies
- Cardiology
- Sports medicine
- Sports science
- Rehabilitation
- Neurology
- Geriatric medicine
- Angiology
- Preventive Medicine
- Epidemiology
- Occupational Medicine
- Nutritional consulting
- Wellness/fitness
- Clinical studies
- Drug research
- … and many more
An up-to-date bibliography of scientific studies and validation reports are available upon request from your SenseWear® representative.
Regular exercise and physical activity continue to be a key factor in preventing serious medical conditions like obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses. The SenseWear® Armband bridges the gap between professional recommendations of a physician or trainer and the ability of the patient or client to understand, self-monitor, and ultimately adhere to necessary life style changes, documented black on white in a concise and easy-to-understand format. Scientific studies indicate that the use of the Armband in structured programs can lead to more physical activity and considerably higher weight loss than in controls1.
The SenseWear® Display – Armband Data in Real Time
Worn like a watch or with a clip the SenseWear® Display presents Armband data in real time while being recorded in the armband. Up-to-the-minute feedback on energy expenditure, physical activity duration (PAD), steps and other parameters can be viewed and compared to previous day results or to an individual daily target. Connected by a wireless link to the Armband, log-on, synchronization, and data exchange is automated. Assisted by an intuitive interface, the wearer can activate a trip odometer to track specific daily workout activities and get alerts as soon as targets are achieved.
An indispensable accessory to the SenseWear® Armband the SenseWear® Display enhances motivation, compliance, and training follow-up.

Papa John's Pizza to Cut Worker's Hours Due to Obamacare
November 12, 2012 | Filed Under Anti-Americanism, Barack Obama, Budget, Business, Capitalism, Congress, Democrats/Leftists, Ethics, Government, Health, Jobs, Liberals, Obamacare, President, Progressives, Taxes, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
John Schnatter, CEO of the Papa John's pizza chain, has announced that now that President Obama has been re-elected and it is obvious that Obamacare is here to stay, he will likely be forced to cut back worker's hours because of the cost of the federal government's take over of our national healthcare.
Provisions of Obamacare state that workers that work 30 hours a week or more will be automatically considered full time and must then be included in their company's healthcare insurance program. Common practice currently maintains that the eligibility threshold for health insurance is a 40-hour work week, so this will cost businesses exponentially more for workers that work over 30 hours a week. The higher cost associated with this change is forcing many businesses, especially those in the food service industry, to consider limiting workers to less than 30 hours a week.
In essence, implementation of Obamacare will cut the weekly take home pay of millions of low wage workers by forcing companies to cut worker's hours.
Papa John's isn't the only company considering such layoffs. Rusty Weiss has compiled a list of companies that have already announced layoffs due to Obamacare.
That list includes such companies as Kroger grocers, Darden Restaurants (the chain that runs such outlets as Red Lobster, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouses and others), St. Jude Medical, Boston Scientific, medical device manufacturer Stryker, and many more.
This is just the beginning, too. As companies begin to realize the monumental costs that will be forced upon them due to Obamacare, fewer new jobs will be created, worker's hours and pay will be cut, and it will be harder for entry level workers to transition from part time to full time worker as companies will have had a roadblock erected by the federal government that will prevent mobility.

The image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) protocol used at Juravinski Cancer Center for post-prostatectomy patients involves acquiring a kV cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) image at each fraction and shifting the treatment couch to align surgical clips. This IGRT strategy is promising but its dosimetric impact is unknown, it requires significant resources, and delivers non-negligible doses to normal tissues. The objective of this work is to evaluate this IGRT protocol and investigate possible alternatives.
IGRT delivered dose is reconstructed by deforming the planning CT to the CBCT images acquired at each fraction, computing dose on the deformed images, and inversely transforming the dose back to the original geometry. The treatments of six patients were evaluated under four scenarios: no guidance (Non-IGRT), daily guidance as performed clinically (IGRT), guidance on alternating days (Alt-IGRT), and daily automated guidance (Auto-IGRT). For one patient, the impact of reducing the planning target volume (PTV) margin to five (IGRT-5) and eight (IGRT-8) mm isotropic was also evaluated.
With the standard clinical PTV margin of ten/seven mm, the evaluated alternatives produced similar results. The minimum dose to the CTV was decreased by 1.6±1.0, 1.2±0.7, and 0.8±0.8 Gy for Non-IGRT, Alt-IGRT, and IGRT, respectively. IGRT with manual shifting did not appear to significantly improve the delivered treatment dose compared to Auto-IGRT (difference in CTV minimum dose was 1.2±2.1Gy). Doses to the organs at risk varied but in general, an increased volume of the bladder and rectum received low doses while smaller portions received high doses. The IGRT-5 and -8 analyses showed the same CTV dose can be delivered with significant reduction in normal tissue exposure. Overall, the desired doses are delivered during IGRT although much of this may be attributed to the large PTV margins currently employed clinically.

Frustration: "Based on a reusable template, setting up measurable KPIs for small companies."
Solution: There are some reusable templates in the library of KPI, which are a good starting point for any company or department. More important is to understand that these KPIs might work for some company, but won't work for other company from the same sector. That's why just coping KPIs doesn't work. Good idea is to invest in the education in this area. There is easy to go training for this: "How to design winning KPIs"

Price Cycles and Price Leadership in Gasoline Markets: New Evidence from Canada
AbstractThis paper studies the determinants of Edgeworth Cycles, price leadership and coordination in retail gasoline markets using daily station-level price data for 110 markets in Ontario, Canada for 2007-2008. We find an "inverse-U" relationship between markets' propensity to exhibit price cycles and their size. More concentrated markets are less likely to exhibits cycles and we highlight regional clustering among cycling and non-cycling markets. Within cycling markets, we find brands' stations (Esso, Shell,Petro-Canada, Sunoco) lead price jumps and coordinate market prices, while independents (Ultramar, Pioneer, Olco, MacEwen) aggressively undercut prices over the cycle.

I recently was asked a very interesting question which made me think quite intensely about the state of affairs of romance and intimacy in today's society. Someone asked me: Do women still like receiving romantic love letters? I have to admit, I chuckled at the statement before catching myself and really pondering the depth of the question. I never really thought about it before, I mean, who really has? But once I did I could not help but feel a little nostalgic with visions of knights and shinning armor dueling for a woman's hand and wondering where it all went. There was a time when being romantic and creatively finding ways to display your love was what it was all about.
With technological advances and the invent of email, social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and the Iphone, people have lost touch with the human side of romance and intimacy. It really blew my mind and I do not believe that I have ever taken the time to sit down and express to my partner what they mean to me in a romantic love letter or attempted to chivalrously woo her and win her over with a written declaration of my admiration. What happened to those times? I do not dare suggest that we are less civilized than we were or that women need this type of adoration, but I wondered how others felt about such a romantic custom and tradition so blatantly being swept to the road side so I asked my friend and family members how that felt about this and I ran into some incredibly interesting comments.
From my personal poll of women's feelings on the subject there was one universal truth that stood out dramatically. This was repeated over and over again by many different ladies and, I feel, best states the general attitude of many women on the topic. It was that women do not need this overt show of affection but, you know what, they still love it! Anything to brighten their day, put their mind at ease, or give them those warm tingly sensations of closeness and intimacy really are on point. A break in the day from their work which takes their mind off of all of the other stress and anxiety they face today is a very welcome distraction. Women work as hard or even harder than men do these days so it is my suggestion to you that they do need love letters and they need them frequently; maybe more so now than ever. The pressures and demands on women have increased exponentially over time and they do more than just look after the kids and wait at home for their man to come home from work.
One thing I will also say is that a romantic love letter will never fail to impress if you put your heart into in. If you are looking to score points or just simply ignite passion between you and you lover, a love letter will do it provided you avoid obvious and above average levels of cheesiness. Women love a little cheese but they do not want to drown in it! Be sincere and not sappy and you will be rewarded greatly for it. Be thoughtful and giving of compliments but not so much so that you appear to have an alternate and hidden agenda in the works. Honest and loving romantic letters which come from the heart will never fail in touching a woman's heart or be unwelcome.
We many times think that women will want the most expensive and fanciest thing out there and this is, again, because of the nature of our society these days, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Women may like the shiny jewelry, the designer bags and European shoes but what they want more is to feel loved, wanted, and secure in their relationship. A bag may do that on the surface and for a very brief period of time but nothing builds love and trust or strengthens a relationship more than communication and the expression of feelings. A love letter is a sweet, romantic and extremely intimate way of tell her that you care and love her. Do not assume that more expensive is always better. A diamond ring is great but the true essence and meaning behind that diamond ring can be conveyed through the loving and sincere words of a romantic love letter.
So, the jury is in and all signs strongly point to the fact that women love little romantic love letters or notes. They make her feel wanted and loved and at the same time express your feelings. They show her that you care enough to take the time to write something down and that probably means more than the words yourself because, lets face it, in today's world o body take the time to put pen to paper unless they truly feel passionate about the topic…or they are getting sued! No just kidding! But it is true that it does take a certain level of commitment and desire to sit down and creatively express yourself and that truly means the world to her!

eight bad deal rules
Here are EIGHT BAD DEAL RULES. Keep these in mind next time you're contemplating a lousy offer from Groupon, Gilt City, Daily Candy, Thrillist, UrbanDaddy or elsewhere.
- If you financially need a deal to eat out, you shouldn't eat out. This isn't cutting coupons so your family can afford milk. This is leisure. These are luxuries you save up for. Tiny Tim ain't die from leprosy if you don't get that Groupon coupon for Patron Silver bottle service. Remember that next time you think you need to "save money" by purchasing a deal.
- Most good restaurants don't need social deals, they already have the right menu prices. If their prices are off, they adjust them according to supply and demand. That brings us to the next rule:
- If you're using deal websites to dictate your culinary life and nightlife, you probably don't have a great culinary life or nightlife. This isn't the cream of the crop. It's often the cream of the crap.
- Cash is fungible. You can use it anywhere. And barring the apocalypse, the U.S. dollar never expires. Uncle Sam is good like that. But a restaurant deal is not fungible; rather, it's nonrefundable and you can only use it at one restaurant. Oh, and the deal always expires. That kinda stinks.
- Deals don't help you save money. They help you spend money. Deal sites often lock you into a set tasting of food or wine in restaurants that are otherwise a la carte. So yes, maybe you're saving 35% by ordering a tasting of eight margaritas, but do really want eight margaritas? So the deal "savings" notwithstanding, you've now spent more money than you really wanted to. Sneaky, sneaky.
- Lower prices don't make bad food taste good. So don't let any 60% discount cure your ambivalence about visiting a restaurant, because that discount won't cure the chef's inability to cook. Let critics or friends help you out. If you didn't want to eat at the restaurant before the deal, it's not really a deal. It's a waste.
- Don't pay for a deal in advance unless you know what you'll be eating or drinking. Deal sites often advertise tasting menus with wine pairings but offer few specifics. Here's a solution: skip the deal, go to the restaurant, look at the menu, order what you want, and (wait for it…) pay AFTER you finish eating, like at most other civilized establishments.
- Be suspicious of any advice from social deal sites, which may have a financial interest in getting you to buy their deals. Make no mistake, when Deal Site editors tell you why they "Love this place," that might not be any more objective than an infomercial telling you how great an automatic egg cracker is. Better to read reviews from Bloomberg, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Out or the Village Voice. P.S. Crack your own eggs.
There will be more BAD DEAL RULES but these will suffice for now. Don't like our attitude? Well that's why we call ourselves The Bad Deal. It ain't gonna get good, that's for darn sure.

Not long after leaving a local Waffle House, the Cherokee County coroner said a woman eating while driving crashed her car Monday morning and died in the wreck.
Coroner Dennis Fowler said Brittany Smith, 24, was driving her pickup truck along Highway 5 when she wrecked just before 4 a.m.
He said Smith, of Blacksburg, had just picked up takeout from the Waffle House at Interstate 85.
"It appears she was eating while driving and became distracted," Fowler said.
He said Smith drove over the center line, then overcorrected, driving off the right side of the road and an embankment, overturning her truck.
Fowler said no other vehicles were involved in the wreck. He said the wreck was not discovered until 6:35 a.m. when a passerby called 911.

Beutiful Dahlia flower which was part of bouquet we were given for the arrival of our baby.
Lit by a single Yongnuo 560ii 1/4 power, zoomed in to 105mm and bounced from the ceiling.

Bounce - Girl and Flash! on Flickr.
Photo captured using a bounce flash from the ceiling to help freeze her motion as she jumped around the living room. Without the bounced flash the shot would have been impossible.

Flashgun - Yong Nuo 460ii Speedlight
I decided I needed a proper external flash gun to use indoors in low lighting and for Strobist work (using speedlights as light modifiers and studio lighting).
After a lot of research I decided on a Yong Nuo 460ii, it was cheap at only £30 from Ebay, has quick recycle times and is fully manual. It has a fully rotating head so is ideal for bouncing light off of ceilings when in low lighting conditions indoors and where you have a nice white surface. A white wall nearby will also work where ceilings are too high, coloured or uneven.
I wouldn't be without it now and have captured many photo's which would have been impossible otherwise. One downside is that the flash is quite large on my Lumix G3 Micro Four Thirds camera (not far off the size of the camera), but it is still very usable and lightweight.

Homeless woman helps Corpus Christi police catch man burglarizing business
CORPUS CHRISTI - A homeless woman helped Corpus Christi police catch a suspected burglar in a business Saturday night.
Officers were called to a tire shop in the 5300 block of South Staples where a woman told them she saw a man attempting to steal a toolbox from a boat. When officers arrived about 7:40 p.m., the 19-year-old was inside the business along with a bag of burglary tools. Police believe the teen used bolt cutters to cut a burglary bar and get into the store's office. Police said there were company checks in the bag with the tools.
The teen, who has a previous conviction for theft of checks, was arrested for suspicion of burglary of a building and has two other Nueces County warrants he is being held for in Nueces County Jail.
