I have a Vista and an iMac now, the screens are side by side. Could this be the cause of my neck and shoulder pain? The doctor couldn't find an obvious cause.
I make changes to my websites on the Mac, then view them on Vista.
Anything known, please.

Having studied your photo more thoroughly it looks as your animal prefers to laze on the PC keyboard.
Boris makes sense.
Always learn off your pets, they seem to be more...err.. wise (for want of a better word) than their masters.
Boris Says PC - good. Apple - crap.

I use KVM devices similar to those mentioned in wiz-king post, but I am not sure as to whether these devices would resolve the problem here. More like a rethink on 'setting-up' correctly.
On the internet, there is a very good health and safety document about setting-up monitors and other useful information about distances etc. I cannot find this link now, but it might pay to have a look around the internet for this information?.

The Vista had been moved across as Boris (he who must be obeyed) decided it was nap time. He naps a lot does Boris.

In the job I had in Holland before retiring, I had a 4 screen workstation - all same sized screens, built in to a custom designed desk that came around in a semi circle. One was a touch screen telephone , the others shared a special keyboard that had function keys so you could "tell" it which device to control. The screens were a PC, a server based PC, and a Reuter screen. The main thing also was having good adjustable seats, and for those with glasses, special one that focussed on the screens or when looking down, on closer reading material.The desk had 10 workstations with additional cooling. All designed about 20 years ago!

...on a slightly different angle...my laptop keyboard (the base) is now facing me 'straight-in-the-face' as I have got it tilted up about 30 degrees (the screen is tilted further back to accomodate)...it makes finding the appropriate keys a little easier.

I have been looking to display the Mac on the Vista monitor. The only port I can see is this
Is that the right one? There are two Firewire ports also.

Perez reported on Bloomberg's appaling hypocrisy yesterday–making his own "It Gets Better" video while also cutting funding for queer and homeless youth services here in New York City almost simultaneously. Well lo and behold, Bloomberg appears to have seen the error of his ways. This morning, according to the Ali Forney Center, City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn and Finance Committee Chair Domenic M. Recchia Jr. announced that the Council and Administration have reached a budgetary agreement on the Fiscal Year 2011 financial plan that fully restores the spending reductions to homeless youth programs proposed by Mayor Bloomberg in the November financial plan.

With a final bit of effort over the last weekend, I got my HDTV system up and running, and I thought I'd spend some time talking about some of the questions that I had to answer along the way.
Should I get HDTV?
There are a few questions you should ask yourself:
If either of these are true, you're a good candidate to get an HDTV-capable display. Contact your mortgage provider and/or landlord and see how they feel about you skipping a few payments to fund your display.
Is the show that I want broadcast in HDTV?
What is the difference between 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and 3000GT?
Those are different HDTV formats. When companies first started getting together to talk about HDTV, they all wanted support for different formats, and rather than decide on one, they agreed that the standard would encompass some 20-some different video formats, which have mostly shaken out into the ones I list.
The base format - at least in the US - is 480i, which is what Americans call "TV". The 480 refers to the number of horizontal lines that make up the picture, and the "i" means interlaced, which is a "term of the art" that means that all odd lines are drawn, then all even lines. Interlacing is used because it's cheaper, though there are many disadvantages.
The "p" in 480p means progressive, which means that it's not interlaced - scan lines are drawn from top to bottom, one after the other.
And so on for the other formats. As the numbers get higher, the picture quality increases, as does the number of house payments you need to skip to afford it (in some cases, you may have to buy a more expensive house to be able to skip a sufficient amount of payments).
These days, you want a display that does at least 720p and 1080i.
The 3000GT is a 1990s vintage Grand Touring Sports Car from Mitsubishi.
What's this 4 by 3 and 16 by 9 I keep hearing about?
These are aspect ratios. (I'm sorry if you thought it had something to do with Seven of Nine (I'm even sorrier that I wrote that))
Aspect ratios are determined by dividing the width of an image (be it picture or video) by the height of the video. Standard TV is 4:3 (1.3333 etc), and "wide screen" (which may or may not be HD) is 16:9 (1.77etc). The goal of having a 16:9 aspect ratio is so that movies can be appreciated as their director's intended them to be appreciated, or some such rot.
A noble goal, and there are some movies filmed at 16:9. There are also some filmed at 5:3 (0.613 e), and a whole bunch filmed in widescreen, at 47:20 (0.748 pi), or even 8:3. And a whole bunch of aspect ratios in between. So, until we perfect the squeezable monitor, you won't see exactly what the director intended, but a 16:9 screen gets you closer on most movies.
What does the "HDTV" entry in the program guide mean?
Little or nothing. It means that the broadcaster is promising that you're getting HDTV, but since there is no mention of intraocular impalement, it's hard to take them seriously.
The signal is pretty sure to be HD, but the source content might be shot in a variety of formats. Perhaps the producers spent the money to get the latest of Sony's offerings. Or perhaps they had to economize a bit. It might be true 16:9 content, or it might be 4:3. Similarly with commercials - some will look great, some not so good.
What provider should I get?
There are three basic ways to get HDTV content. If you are lucky, one will work for you. If you are very lucky, more than one of these may work for you.
What hardware should I buy?
Well, that's hard to answer. In my book, having a decent PVR (/DVR (/Tivo)) is about 10 times more important (more precisely, it's 9.87663 times more important) than seeing things in HD, so I would only go with a HD solution that has a good PVR with it. There are HD-only receivers that either do SAT or OTA if you want to go that route.
If I get an antenna, how should I mount it?
You should mount the antenna is cheaply and easily as possible while still getting the signal you need. In my case, that meant an eave mount at one end of my house, but there are lots of other choices. It would be a good idea to read the ChannelMaster installation guide to get some more information.
[Update: Go read Todd's comments - he added a lot of great information]

|Differential regulations of blood pressure and perturbed metabolism by total ginsenosides and conventional antihypertensive agents in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20686518 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|AIM: To investigate the regulatory effects of total ginsenosides and the conventional antihypertensive agents (captopril, amlodipine, terazosin and hydrochlorothiazide) on the blood pressure and perturbed metabolism in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and to analyze the cause-effect relationships between high blood pressure and the metabolic disorders of hypertension.
METHODS: SHRs were administrated with total ginsenosides or the antihypertensive agents for eight weeks. Systolic blood pressure (SP) was measured every week and low-molecular-weight compounds in blood plasma were quantitatively analyzed using a nontargeted high-throughput metabolomic tool: gas chromatography/time of flight mass spectrometry (GC/TOFMS) . The metabolic patterns were evaluated using principal components analysis and potential markers of hypertension were identified.
RESULTS: Total ginsenosides and the antihypertensive agents differentially regulated SP and the metabolic pattern in SHRs. Total ginsenosides caused a progressive and prolonged reduction of SP and markedly normalized the perturbed metabolism with 14 of 27 (51.8%) markers of hypertension which were regulated toward normal. Total ginsenosides also reduced free fatty acids' level toward normal levels. In contrast, captopril, amlodipine and terazosin efficiently depressed SP, but had little effect on metabolic perturbation with only 8 (29.6%), 4 (14.8%), and 4 (14.8%) markers, respectively, which were regulated.
CONCLUSION: The metabolic changes persisted when the blood pressure was lowered by the conventional antihypertensive agents, suggesting that hypertension may not be the cause of the metabolic perturbation in SHRs.

CTIA: Ford details the connected car
As more people use their smartphones while driving, Ford is finding ways of safely integrate their apps into its cars
The automotive industry and the wireless industry have a lot more in common then you might think, Ford Motor group vice president of global product development Derrick Kuzak told the attendees of CTIA Enterprise & Applications on the closing days of the show. Not only do they share the same customers, but increasingly those customers are using both industries products simultaneously, he said.
Industry News
Briefing Room
Kuzak said 35% of smartphone owners with applications on their device use them in the car. Meanwhile the average commuter spends 3 hours in the car and drives roughly 16.5 hours a week, and those commute times are steadily increasing due to growing traffic congestion, Kuzak said. As people drive more and more people buy smartphones, mobile devices an applications will become an increasingly popular distraction from the monotony of the daily commute.
People are looking to make up for this lost time, Kuzak said during his keynote. They can either do it unsafely or they can do it with their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road.
Fords Sync program is evolving from a voice command platform to a highly connected vehicle entertainment and productivity platform. Unlike other vehicle connectivity, solutions, Ford isnt looking to turn the car into a platform unto itself with its own proprietary applications, operating system and wireless service, Kuzak said. Rather its trying to make the vehicle an extension of the smartphone, using the phones existing radio connection and its on-board applications but doing so in a manner that wont lead to unsafe driving practices.
Ford has already partnered with companies like Pandora and OpenBeak to seamlessly integrate their services with the Ford Sync platform. Rather than have those developers build new apps for the Microsoft-based operating system in the dashboard, though, Ford is exposing application programming interfaces to its trusted partners, which allow their apps to reach into the Ford console via Bluetooth and access some of its key capabilities. In the Pandora implementation, for instance, a Sync-enabled version of the music-streaming app loaded into a BlackBerry or Android phone could be activated and controlled through voice commands and the buttons on the cars entertainment system. Song titles and playlists or displayed on the dash and the music stream pauses when a call comes in, which would also be relayed through the Sync console. At no point does the phone ever have to leave the drivers pocket.
For applications like SMS, e-mail or news alerts that would require a driver to read content, Ford isnt just transposing the text onto the dash. Using Bluetooth Message Access Profile and text-to speech technology, Sync reads out messages, twitter posts and other short-form text content.
But Kuzak said these applications are only examples of applications already popular in the mobile world that have been adapted and optimized for the in-vehicle environment. He said Ford envisions a whole new category of apps, of Apps on Wheels emerging that focus specifically on the driving experience. He detailed an app called Drivers Ed 2.0, a hyper-local service, real-time service that alerts drivers not only of traffic problems or accidents ahead but of particularly dangerous intersections or on-ramps. Another app, Cloud Parking, would search for nearby paid parking lots, check for space availability navigate the car to them and even reserve and pay for a parking spot with preloaded credit card info.

It's Willem Dafoe doing that sicko-psycho leer through the veil of his stocking mask ("They're dummies... Dummy!"). It's that grubby little jump-shot of a stinky toilet pan as Lula's harridan momma Marietta spells and spits out, "S, H, I, Tuh!" It's Cage and the comedy kung fu kicks by the side of the highway - and the sly and strange segue to a tender lovers' clinch as Lynch floats his camera up and over, drinking in the moment's sun-flared afterglow.
It's Harry Dean Stanton barking at the TV. It's the bloke who quacks like a duck and insists that "pigeons spread diseases!" It's the other bloke who explains that his dog is always with him even when it clearly isn't. And, hell, it's that opener... The sparkle of a flick-knife. A swell of pummelling power-chords. The multi-crack and crunch of ol' Bob Ray Lemon's brains painting the cold, cold marble floor...
It's David Lynch. No other director could have taken novelist Barry Gifford's sweet but slight tale of two eloping, Southern-fried sweethearts and spun out such a dizzying psychedelic patchwork of hungry sex, stinging violence and all the ruin and redemption in between. Those who gag on the stylised surface kook can surely admire the bite and balls beneath. Lula (Laura Dern) nails it, with her motel-marooned howl of desolation ("This whole world is wild at heart and weird on top!").
The DVD package is a strong spruce-up of the previous edition, with an updated Making Of, well stacked with fresh chat from pretty much everyone (including a giggly, animated Dern, mystifyingly muffled by a heavy soft-focus lens while real-life mother Diane Ladd is happy to show her age). Best, though, is the sequence where Lynch explains the craft of film transfer, showing an unreserved love for DVD that will surely - soon - lead to his first yak-track. Rockin' good news.

Wheres the best bang for the buck on the chassis I bought?

Lamb Chops with Roasted Cherry Vinaigrette
Lamb Chops with Roasted Cherry Vinaigrette
Yield: serves 6
For the vinaigrette:
- 1 pound fresh sweet cherries such as Bing or Rainer, pitted and halved
- 8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Sat salt, preferably gray salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 scallions, white part only, cut on the bias into ¼ inch pieces
- 1 ½ tablespoons tarragon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
For the lamb:
- 18 lamb chops cut from a rack of lamb, at room temperature
- Sea salt, preferably gray salt
- Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing
For the vinaigrette, preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, mix the cherries with 7 tablespoon of the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Heat an ovenproof sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and heat until shimmering. Add half of the cherries and toss them once or twice. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the cherries around the edges of the pan begin to turn lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and add to the remaining half of the cherries. Add the scallions, vinegar and tarragon. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Set aside.
For the lamb chops, prepare a hot wood fire in a charcoal grill or have a grill pan ready. Season both sides of each chop with salt. Brush lightly over with olive oil. If using a grill pan, heat the pan over high heat and oil and pan. Grill the chops for 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a platter and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
If serving with polenta, place a mound of polenta on each warmed plate. Place 3 chops on the top of the polenta with bones pointing towards the plate's center. Top with a spoonful of vinaigrette. Ladle any extra vinaigrette into small ramekins to pass at the table.

Grilled Lamb Chops with Glazed Shiitake Mushrooms
Lamb. A lovely meat, particularly when prepared the right way. My grandmother, all Scottish, would cook me lamb chops. And cook them. And keep cooking them.
Why do Scots use mint jelly with lamb? It's to lubricate your teeth so you have a fighting chance to penetrate meat that is just a tad tough.
Supermarkets have not helped the lamb image. They have offered up less than ideal meat that, when cooked, produces the "lamby" smell that makes heads turn. The wrong way.
Suzen loves lamb, too. She cannot get her clients to consider lamb for Cooking by the Events. They just won't do it.
So, we do. On weekends, when we cook for ourselves and our friends, we buy great lamb, we don't overcook it, and we relish every bite. This recipe is a perfect appetizer, one that is naturally paired with a stiff cocktail — and you'll find one of those at this blog this weekend featuring grilled peaches and bourbon.
Start with this appetizer, offer a rich risotto for the main course, and finish with a fresh fruit tart. That's a meal to treasure.
Grilled Lamb Chops with Glazed Shitake Mushrooms
Servings: 2 to 4
Preparation Time: 45 minutes
- ½ cup Pedro Ximenez vinegar or sherry vinegar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 pound shitake mushrooms, stems discard and caps sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 rack of lamb spareribs (about 1 pound) cut into individual ribs
In a .small saucepan, simmer the vinegar over moderately low heat until reduced slightly to ⅓ cup, about 5 minutes.
In a large skillet, melt the butter in the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the mushrooms and cook over high heat , turning once until golden, about 5 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons of the reduced vinegar and cook over low heat until the mushrooms are nicely glazed and tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Light a grill or preheat the broiler. Brush the ribs with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the ribs over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until light charred and cooked through, about 2 minutes a side. Brush the ribs with the remaining vinegar and grill, turning until nicely glazed about 1 more minute. Transfer the ribs to a platform and serve the mushroom alongside.
The total cooking time for a chops of different thicknesses are shown in the following table, with credit to Steven Raichlen.

By William Pesek

There's nothing like an earthquake to ring in the New Year. That thought crossed the minds of many Tokyoites on Jan. 1 as a magnitude 7.0 trembler shook us out of our holiday slumber.

Really, if there's any developed nation that was glad to see 2011 end, it was Japan. The radiation crisis caused by the March earthquake and tsunami was but the biggest news in a year that included deepening deflation, credit downgrades, the resignation of a fifth prime minister in as many years and an Olympus Corp. scandal that spooked investors the world over.

As the ground shook on the opening day of 2012, the immediate concern was the nuclear facilities at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s plants in Fukushima. Thankfully, the quake didn't cause fresh damage -- this time.

But what about next time? In a June Asahi newspaper poll, 74 percent favored Japan over time decommissioning all 54 reactors. Actions by the government, reinforced by Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's press conference today, suggest the opposite is afoot. Japanese want a nuclear-free future, and yet the government is back to coddling the power industry.

Why the disconnect? Japan's nuclear-industrial complex is every bit as powerful as the nexus of business and the military in the U.S. There's just too much money involved, and Japan's "nuclear village" is circling the wagons. The moment Noda's predecessor, Naoto Kan, announced plans to rein in the industry's incestuous ties with government bureaucrats, his premiership was over.

Japanese deserve better. Consider, too, that only six of the 54 reactors are operating anyway. While strains will be expected, Japan is proving it can live reasonably well without the reactors the government claims are so vital to the economy.

Arguments that nuclear power is efficient, cost-effective and clean would be more persuasive if Japan weren't so seismically active. No one is saying turn off all the reactors today. Yet unless engineers can build them out of rubber, elevate them on huge shock absorbers and address every potential risk -- including terrorism -- deemphasizing reactors should be a priority for any Japanese leader.

If Japan is looking for a growth industry, it could be found in an explosion of innovation and investment in nuclear alternatives.

(08/04/11) - More help is on the way in Flint's fight against crime. Starting Monday, more Flint police officers will be on patrol and a team of trained volunteers will soon be helping behind the scenes.
The 68th District Court's move back to the McCree Building should be completed early next week. The move will free up six officers who had been assigned to court security at the Great Lakes Tech Center and Flint City Hall. Those officers will get their new assignments Monday. Some will go after those who are stealing scrap aluminum and copper.
Flint Police Chief Alvern Locke will evaluate where most illegal scrapping is happening and then plot a strategy to catch those doing it. "Right now we're starting with two officers. If we have to increase it, we will increase it. But we need to have someone assigned to scrap."
In about two months, a team of volunteers will be assisting Flint police officers through the Blue Badge program. After a background check and some classroom work, they will be cleared to lend a hand with crowd and traffic control.
"Our volunteers can assist the citizens and all the visitors that we may have coming," said Tanya Meeks, Flint police officer and Blue Badge program coordinator.
The volunteers will be assigned blue identification badges, but will have no police authority.
"They will be equipped with radios or cell phones. Of course, we'll have our uniform officers out in the area also. The volunteers will just call and report what they see," Meeks added.
Blue Badge volunteers might also help out at police headquarters and at mini-stations.
"We have looked at different police departments throughout the United States and we found they are using a lot of volunteers," said Meeks.
It is hoped that the Blue Badge program will free up officers for patrol and other law enforcement duties.
Those interested in becoming a Flint Police Blue Badge volunteer can contact Tanya Meeks at (810) 237-6926 or email@example.com.

Act 5, Scene 2
"Hi, Dominic. What did Mikey say? Or if he felt like writing it, then give me the letter." Dominic shook his head.
"They wouldn't even let me in the city. Apparently there's been some disease going around Belleville, and the officials thought I might be carrying it, so they locked me up in the hospital, telling me I had no choice but to come back here or wait until they decided I wasn't sick. That could have taken days."
"Then who gave him my message?" Matt asked, not wanting to hear the answer.
"No one could," Dominic said sadly. "They wouldn't even let me give it to someone else; they were that afraid I had the disease." Matt placed his hands flat on the wall...and proceeded to bang his head into it.
"Why, why, /why/?!" he asked angrily, pounding the wall with one fist. "Go get a crowbar," he said shakily. "We'll have to get Alicia out of there ourselves." Dominic agreed and quickly left.
"I'll have to go there by myself," Matt said in a low voice. "I'll try to send another message to Mikey, and I'll keep Alicia here until he comes. Poor girl, sealed alive in a dead man's tomb!"

Major News Sources Neglect to Spoil Amazing Spider-Man #698
- Written by ThanosCopter on Wednesday, November 21 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
Dozens of newspaper readers were disappointed.
Source: ThanosCopter Newswire
What do the Washington Post, the New York Times, USA Today and the Wall Street Journal have in common? Not a single one of them took the opportunity to spoil today's Amazing Spider-Man #698, which launches a controversial relationship between Peter Parker and Doctor Octopus.
Newspaper readers everywhere were disappointed to see that their chosen news sources neglected to pick up the story, choosing to focus on topics such as the looming fiscal cliff, the latest Israel-Gaza Strip conflict and the controversial Presidential pardons of two turkeys.
"I can't believe that I actually have to go into a comic book store to read what happened to Spider-Man," said John Miller, one of the Washington Post's few remaining subscribers. "I bet the Post didn't spoil the ending to Anna Karenina either. I'm dropping my subscription after this."
Luckily, disappointed readers could still rely on the Internet for answers. "After I didn't see anything about Spider-Man in the Times, I looked online," said Gabby Flufferpuff, a married mother of three. "Not only did I get the spoilers I needed, I also discovered that the Internet is filled with thousands of news sites that provide instant coverage of pertinent events. I don't see why I'd ever have to buy a newspaper again!
It's unknown whether newspapers will choose to cover the next
meaningless controversial death or event or whether these archaic news outlets will finally die the dignified deaths they deserve. The Outhouse will keep you updated as additional news happens.

Obstetrics & Gynecology
Randolph Bourne, MD
Dr. Bourne is a board-certified Obstetrician Gynecologist. He has
been with Sound Women's Care since 2007. He practices the full
gamut of Obstetrics and Gynecology. His particular interests
include treating pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence.
In his spare time, he enjoys running, camping, reading history
and plans to climb Mt. Rainier during the summer of 2011.
When I started medical school, I thought there was no way I
would go into OB/GYN. I figured that it was really not a man's
place to practice this part of medicine. How could I know what
women are going through? Do you really need to experience
everything to be able to help people cope? If so, there must be
a lot of cardiologists out there having heart attacks.
For me, practicing medicine is really about listening to
people and paying attention to what they are worried about and
trying to help them. Sometimes I think being a man gives me a
special perspective on the problems women have. After all,
I've never had a really bad period and simply won't tell someone
to 'get over it'. I truly love my job and hope to keep doing it
for a long time to come.
Jeffrey F. Bray, MD
Dr. Bray's special interests in medicine include infertility,
ultrasound, and laparascopic surgery. I've always had
a love for science and physiology. I'm a people person, so,
while research is important, I couldn't imagine sitting at
a desk or research station all day. Practicing medicine,
especially OB, allows me to interact with people while doing
what I love.
He is proud to serve the community in which he was born and raised.
He enjoys spending time with his wife and 2 daughters, as well as
skiing, golfing, hiking and reading.
Kimberly J. Dickey, DO
Dr. Dickey has firmly planted her roots in the Northwest after
living the vagabond life of a military brat. Consequently, she
has always been fascinated with cultural differences in women's
health care, particularly as they apply to childbearing and
menopause. Her professional interests include treatment of
polycystic ovarian syndrome, urinary incontinence and sexual
Dr. Dickey loves being one of those "older moms" who is energized by
her grade schooler. She has great passion for gourmet cooking,
gardening, kayaking, and, of course, traveling to mysterious places!
Bruce Erhart, MD
Dr. Ehart's areas of expertise include high risk and diabetic
pregnancies, hysteroscopy and sterilization procedures, surgery
for pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence and
laparoscopic hysterectomies.
I became an OB/GYN because I was fascinated by delivering
babies. As a medical student, I spent six weeks in an East Los
Angeles hospital and slept on a gurney in labor and delivery
so I wouldn't miss out on anything. Caring, serving, giving and
teaching are my life's objectives.
Dr. Erhart has also taught at a missionary high school in Micronesia
and served as chairman of the OB/GYN department at Andrews Air Force
Base in Maryland.
Outside of medicine, he enjoys running, spending time with his wife and
two young sons, skiing, motorcycling, bicycling, traveling and golfing.
Martha Moe, MD
Dr. Moe is a graduate of Grace University School of Medicine,
Cambridge, England. She received her obstetrics and gynecology
training at TriHealth/Bethesda North Hospital in Cincinnati,
Ohio and is Board certified by The American Board of
Obstetrics and Gynecology.

abnormal uterine bleeding; including hysterectomy and in-office
Novasure endometrial ablation, infertility evaluation and
consultation, normal and high risk obstetrics, preventative
health maintenance and cancer screening. She also has

pelvic prolapse problems.
He relaxes by golfing, reading for pleasure, beachcombing for shells,
and spending time with his wife, three children, and four grandchildren.

Research. Tami has a holistic approach to health and wellness that
includes an emphasis on education and prevention. Her goal is to

outdoors including hiking, skiing and kayaking. Her current
favorite indoor activity is Yoga. She lives in Mukilteo where
she and her husband are appreciating the adventures of their two
college-age children.
Susan Forester Goodall, CNM, ARNP
"I really like to get to know each patient as an individual and I feel
that I'm good at talking with patients, putting them at ease so they can
tell me about their concerns and helping them to make informed decisions
about their care," says Susan."I love midwifery's emphasis on educating
women and reassuring them about normal changes related to pregnancy
while also carefully screening them in case a problem occurs."
Susan provides prenatal and postpartum care, annual gynecologic exams,
birth control and fertility counseling, and hormone therapy. She also
performs a variety of procedures including colposcopies, endometrial and
vulvar biopsies, and Nexplanon and IUD insertion and removal. She has

Evelyn Spieker, ARNP
Evelyn provides women's health services including annual physical
exams, menopause management, contraceptive counseling and
prenatal/postpartum care.
"As a health-care provider, it is essential to listen and
understand the source of each woman's concern to provide
individualized quality care," says Evelyn.
With a decade of experience caring for women in the Pacific
Northwest Evelyn is especially dedicated to educating young
women about their health so that they may make informed
decisions that are best for them.
"Health care is a partnership between the patient and the
provider. I believe the patient can and should actively
participate in their health care. Each patient knows themself
and should actively participate in their plan of care. I feel
education is an important part of my practice and knowledge
leads to better health."

Fashion Speak: Stunt Dressing
by Tracey Lomrantz, Glamour Magazine
STUNT DRESSING: v./phrase: stuhnt dres-ing: The act of styling oneself in an obviously outlandish way, specifically with the intention of being noticed and snapped by street style photographers.
If there's one thing I can say with certainty about this New York Fashion Week, it's that there's as much inspiring fashion going on off the runway as there is on (have you check out our new street style video series, What Are You Wearing? yet?). And with all of that chicness comes hordes of photographers to capture it all, and with all of those photographers come a slew of show-goers who seem to get dressed with only the cameras in mind. I call it "Stunt Dressing," and just like a James Franco appearance on General Hospital, it makes you scratch your head and think, "really!?" Our amazingly talented Dos and Don'ts photographer, Ronnie Andren, has been out at the shows snapping some ridiculously wild looks over the past few days, and you have to wonder if these people had anything in mind other than his lens when they left the house in the morning.
Take this guy in the kilt. Can you imagine his inner monologue in front of his closet? "Oh I know, I'll wear my plaid blanket...but as a skirt! And then I'll totally hot glue my kid brother's stuffed animals all over my sweatshirt and shoes...he'll never miss them! And there's no way anyone will miss me! I am SO getting my picture taken today!"
Related: Spring 2012's Most Wearable Fashion Trends
Just try and tell me this lovely lady isn't freezing her patootie off--this photo was taken in February, in New York City, and while everyone around her is bundled in hats and gloves and scarves, there's nary a coat or a pair of tights in sight. And yet she has found the strength to curtsy! Y'know how Tinkerbell needs applause to live? This woman needs flashbulbs.
Yes, this a cape made of oversize tinsel strips. Its primary purpose? I'll give you three guesses. What's that? Nope, unfortunately it's not insulated, so warmth is out of the equation. Solar energy? Oh, if only. There is a slim-to-none chance that this baby was concocted with the sole intention of landing itself on the pages of Street Peeper.
And while we're all for hot color combos, something tells me this fuzzy pink number with turquoise tights was inspired by nothing so much as a deep love of attention! Certain outfits just scream "look at me!" and this, my dears, is one of 'em.
Related: 10 Shoes Every Woman Should Own
Of course, Stunt Dressing isn't just native to New York Fashion Week--I'm guessing you know a gal who once showed up to a wedding in a red sequined dress with a deep plunging V-neck? Or have an aunt who dresses half her age in miniskirts that should be twice as long when she shows up for carpool? Or possibly, just possibly, you've participated in a bit of stunt dressing yourself!? 'Fess up, gals...what do you think of this styling-yourself-for-the-cameras practice? Isn't it a little silly? Do you think street style has become the new barometer for chic? Or has it just gotten out of hand? Discuss!

You never really know what you got til it's gone. Torn to shreds like I wanna go home. And it's bad enough I just wanna phone. You to say, everything is just wrong. I see the big picture and it's looking kinda lonely. Sad enough that I'm looking kinda phony. Who I am, what I've done is just another side to me. Dark side of the moon you weren't ready to see. You tried your best to go and open up to me. But I turned the other cheek and I just left you alone to be. And it's true that I am the reasons of your epitome. Holding you back from what who you wanted to show me. I doubted it all, i called you a lie. Are my actions too tough that I just made you cry? And is it enough for a final goodbye? One step at a time and let out a big sigh. I've lost your respect and all its value. Keep dreaming big dreams if you believe that it's true. Its time for a change, its time to start new. No time to pout, no time to feel blue. So good night cruel world and all your false hope. Never thought that our lives would be so cutthroat. Our lasts words spoken were through a text. Because I'm afraid to know what is the best. Reasons to talk without a doubt. I have too much pride, three strikes, now I'm out.

Were it not for the majesty and power of its enduring lessons, history would be worth much less. As in interesting reading at best and a dust-dry recitation of unimaginable times long past at worst.
Yet, within the continuum of recorded events, some stand out still. Large among them was a murderous act that plumbed the depths of evil to which depraved men could plunge. That being the cowardly bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham 50 years ago to this day.
It was an exclamation point in history that, we believe, can still teach lessons today.
The bombing is perhaps most resonant, we'd suggest, because of the way forward and upward that it pointed out from the dust and ruin of a shattered church. For we believe men and women of goodwill were — and remain — the silent majority. We should not forget that. And we should govern ourselves accordingly, as individuals and as a people who call themselves Southerners – and Americans.
That can be a difficult task today, when people are as apt to revile views they disagree with, rather than listen respectfully or even consider another side. We should ask ourselves which best serves our history. We believe there is but one correct answer.
For even in the South of a half century ago – a place convulsing with the struggle to move beyond a segregated society — the Sunday morning explosion in Birmingham rocked many out of comfortable zones of complacency. Profound change was given speed by the act of terror that killed four little girls preparing for youth worship services.
The attack was a murderous affront to the Constitution's majestic words guaranteeing "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." That attack on our bedrock notions could not stand – not in America.
In the explosion's aftermath, the ideals nailed down in the Declaration of Independence held fast – strengthened even by the lost lives of four children who, like the innumerable caravan of patriots before and after – had given their lives that the nation's highest callings might withstand yet another test inked in blood. These sacrifices have not been in vain. God willing, they never will be.
Thus, it was fitting that leaders of Congress put aside partisan bickering for an hour last week and awarded that body's highest civilian honor – the Congressional Gold Medal – to the four little girls of Birmingham. This bipartisan act gives us hope that America's ability to weather any storm that arises before us – from without or within – remains fundamentally intact.
This year of historic anniversaries should also resonate deeply in Atlanta's spirit. For while much of Birmingham's oppressive old guard of a half-century ago played right into the strategy of the civil rights movement's leaders, Atlanta – for its part – found a productive and peaceful way forward through the tumult.
Buckhead Coalition President Sam Massell, who was Atlanta's mayor from 1970 to 1974, said last week that Atlanta's brash and often-youthful leaders – in the civil rights, political and business arenas – played a large part in this metro area's relatively calm journey through a national period of upheaval.
"I have to look back now and see the good fortune," Massell said. Atlanta's leaders of that era came to ultimately regard each other as equals. And that helped build a foundation for the rapid growth and prosperity that followed.
"The blacks at the table had Phi Beta Kappa keys that were just as shiny as those of the whites," recalled Massell. "They were as well-read, as well-traveled as the whites." As the late Dan Sweat Jr., former president of Central Atlanta Progress, told a visiting reporter in 1990, "Black plus white equals green here." That was, and is, the Atlanta Way.
In their own ways, both Birmingham and Atlanta imparted lessons to a nation that is the better for having listened. Andrew Young noted to this board last week that a courageous group of Birmingham business people had begun dialogue with civil rights leaders even before the church bombing.
As a result of our collective struggles, we have come a long, rugged way toward the more-perfect union our founders envisioned. That is an important takeaway from this year's march of historical commemorations.
Yet, we've got a ways yet to go, as we all instinctively know. To give just one example, too many people of all races are still the victim of crimes fueled by bitter prejudices or just plain evil that clings stubbornly to life. We should be well beyond such tragedies by now.
We can do better. We must. The brave leaders and foot soldiers who never lost faith in America teach us that. It's a lesson worth remembering as we endure today's challenges.

You Sir, though you have the right of Freedom speech many find your comments insensitive,repulsive and down right Mean and Ugly. If this is your intent, then you have scored well.
Surely if you were to lose any of your Daughter's lives to a heinous and cowardly Terrorist ACT. Your feelings would be far different and respectful of those who have.

Urdu name that derives from the word greatness. It is usually given to hot Pakistani boys. Once they hit puberty they usually grow their beard and they are into arabian girls. Always looking after their body, they are usually very fit. They have a funny sense of humor and a kind heart. If you ever cross paths with a Moazzam make sure you never let go as they are by far one of the rarest purest forms of men. One would also say they are God-like. (Half-God half Human).

Bartenders differed in skill and the same drink in the cafe could be way different in the lounge. If you are picky about your drinks, order premium brands because their well brands taste really harsh. My VIFP free drinks were well and we couldn't drink them they were so bad.
If you buy photos on the ship, check the back of them. Some off the racks have a thick security sticker on the back to prevent theft, but it won't lay flat in a frame and will eventually ruin the photo. Comedy shows were funny. There didn't seem to be as much entertainment or activities as I would have liked. I spent a lot of time lying on deck by the pool as there wasn't much else to do. Spa services were nice if a bit overpriced. The sauna and jacuzzi are free and were enjoyable. If you have a large group or children, this vacation may be great and affordable. If it's just you or a couple, you may want to consider upgrading. Overall, I think this was a fair vacation value.

When it came time to register for my baby shower, I couldn't believe the massive amount of STUFF that was out on the market for babies. Diamond-encrusted pacifiers? Silk sheets? For babies?
The baby commerce trap is wide and just waiting to swallow you whole, all in the name of making sure your baby has the BEST childhood ever.
Sadly, I'm not just talking about the internal debate over whether your baby really needs a warm glow cast on her wipes before they touch her delicate behind (she doesn't). At least your standard wipes warmer won't cost you your firstborn. A hand-crafted Italian leather diaper bag, on the other hand, will set you back more than $1,000 for something your kid will ultimately puke on.
Think that's nuts? That's nothing compared to a $17,000 pacifier! And I'm just getting started.

The luxury baby market is chock-a-block with baby products with prices so high you'll be choking harder than a baby who just had her first taste of pureed prunes.
Check out these over-the-top prices for baby products that would make even Bill Gates raise an eyebrow.

I want that highchair!! Lol THAT'S never gonna happen! I can't believe people would spend so much on stuff that they might get 2 years of use out of. Wow.
The highchair would probably be easy to DIY if you could find the right kind of plain wooden chair.
These are silly things for the elite. Its a way for some of them to set themselves apart from the rest of the us.
I have no desire for any of these things. I don't find any of these things extremely cute/nice either. There is no "child like" appearance to them. I like the cute things with little animals, cars, all over them.
Some people are absolutly nuts!!! Its crazy that 1 binki costs more than BOTH of my vehicles combined!!! I cant even imagine being able to spend money on this crap! I worry about the $10 shoes that my kids outgrow in 2 months lol!
Why spend so much money on something they're going to grow so quickly out of? That's just nuts!
I want the Aston Martin stroller. It's probably the only Aston I'll ever be able to afford!
Imagine your kid losing that paci at the mall!

These boots fit super good due to the heat molding option. They have great performance on the mountain and give good direction to the board. They feel comfortable and come close to the lightest I had before. It is a boot that you can ride all day on any terrain. Also they look pretty awesome.

Very high quality construction, and they look great. Feel a tad stiff now but I'm sure they will be nice and comfortable when they're broken in judging by their fit. The heat molding feature is awesome and I will definitely have them molded. A+

It's a memorial of lives lost before they could even begin as people gather for a walk to remember.
The memorial walk honors children lost through miscarriage, stillbirth and infant and childhood death. The walk gives those grieving losses the chance to meet people who feel their pain.
Families bring short letters or poems to share with those around them. A memorial brick was presented in the name of baby Noah, the newborn boy found dead at a northern Illinois recycling center 3 months ago.
"When you lose a child or an infant, you feel that you're not a part of anything. So to have other families involved and to get to know other families that are in the same grief you are, you learn to not live your life too short, you learn to seek out other people to help you to get involved," said Ashley Speer.
The ceremony featured songs, poems and other presentations from those hoping to help others cope with losses through sharing their own experiences.

The pervious post, Brand vs. Reputation, was my first in a series about Personal Brands. In this post I will more closely be discussing and examining reputation. I will attempt to put this word in a more modern context and point towards how it relates to brands today.
Dissecting reputation leads me to the two words, honor and respect. These are two conducts that have played an important part in building our society. Upholding honor and respect is living up to certain expectations. Norms and rules are set in the family, or in the community, and then used by members to size how well we perform in the social setting. Religion is a perfect example, one of it's attributes being functioning as a social 'measuring-tool'. But these types of 'tools' are not specific to religion, they're also found in secular countries and individualist cultures.
So why do we continue to rely upon these seemingly 'dated' social rules and norms? Well, they make us feel comfortable! People generally like the feeling of being prepared, or to some extent know what to expect. We may no longer look to God for the final verdict, but judgement still takes place. Todays preferred norms and rules, our 'religion', is commonly influenced by one or more subcultures, such as; the company we work for, the people we hang out with, the brands that we follow, the bands we listen to and the art we enjoy etc.
By openly conveying your association, you are identifying yourself as a part of the group. You're implying that you will abide by their rules and norms, and in further extent, committing to upholding the groups reputation through the management of your own personal brand. The personal brand is hereby assigned a higher importance, it becomes a piece of the larger than life, 'societal brand'.
You may at this point be thinking; "heeeey, I'm my own, I stick out, I'm an individualist and that's awesome! What the #€%&/ is this girl talking about?!". Well, dear Gen-Y reader, I'm sorry to shatter you perceptions. But to calm your anguish I'd like to add this; it's in community the sweet spot lies! THIS is where we create value! Whether it's higher monetary or relational-status we seek, we're NOTHING without the support of a 'tribe'. Reality is that everyone, more or less, deliberate or not, engages in tribal activity every day. So, by finding YOUR 'campfire', with the right 'circle of scouts', your ability to influence will turn from a simple add/subtract equation to an exponential function.
Now, I still want to leave you with this – Don't give up being different, being YOU! Instead, see brand management as a waltz. You are performing, rocking back and forth between conformity and individualism. The audience, your 'tribe', will endorse 'good behavior' and discourage or ignore the 'bad'. Let's just say… if you're doin' it right – you'll notice!
Finally I'd like to share my source of inspiration for this post, watch the 10 minute YouTube clip of Dr Patrick Dixon on 'Marketing to Tribes…'.

This is the second in a series of posts discussing reputation, personal branding and Online Identity Management, so stay tuned!

Games which feature 3D polygonal graphics, but typically restrict gameplay and camera control to a 2D plane. Alternatively, it can also refer to earlier games that attempted to simulate three-dimensional graphics without the use of 3D polygons.
Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Running at 60 frames per second is standard for PC games, but the hardware restrictions of consoles often force developers to aim for lower framerates in order to preserve visual detail or allow for greater scale. Thus, console games that do hit the 60 FPS mark are somewhat unusual.
An AI companion is a computer-controlled ally who follows and aids you through your adventures or who requires your protection. The AI companion's survival is often essential to game and story progression.
Abilitease is an aspect of game design wherein a game will provide a glimpse of your full skill-set at or near the start, only to remove most of these skills, stats, and abilities soon after.
Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
Games that give you achievements before you even start the game up.
The ability to fling yourself around the environment gracefully. Wall-running, jumping, massive drops, climbing, and other physical activities are what acrobatics is all about.
A dark power that is usually the cause for the world's strife. The curse can only be broken after the protagonist (or band of protagonists) defeats several dangerous trials.
Ubisoft's proprietary game engine used on Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia (2008) and Shawn White Snowboarding under the name Scimitar. It has since been refined and rebranded as the Anvil engine with the 2009 release of Assassin's Creed II.
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, commonly refers to the programmed behaviors of NPCs in a game, whether it's the fact that a soldier takes cover behind a wall in Gears of War, or that townspeople cheer upon your arrival to their village in Fable.
Anytime an ally comes in to help you in any way. This mechanic is most common in fighting games.
Backstab is a skill utilized most commonly by rogues. By attacking from behind an opponent, backstabs significantly increase the damage dealt. Sometimes a backstab can mean a one hit kill.
Backtracking is the act of navigating through previously explored areas, usually for the purpose of progressing in an objective-based adventure game. Players who are lost may also backtrack to reorient themselves.
Baditude is being "edgy" in an obviously forced or fake manner. Games with baditude often feature excessive swearing, gratuitous violence, and content meant to shock or offend.
When characters make conversation during normal gameplay, rather than a dialog-focused scene.
Bats are small flying mammals. They may frequent caves or haunted houses.
"You fight like a dairy farmer!" and "I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than you!" are both good examples of this.
When the player character (re)visits a certain area or location that was also present in a previous game, or visited later on in the same game, with some alterations.
A proprietary video codec (.bik extension) developed by RAD Game Tools and used in a very large number of video games.
The concept of moving blocks around to certain areas such as highlighted squares, or switches, or in order to get past a maze.
The ability to stop or reduce the damage from an oncoming attack.
Bats, hammers, wrenches, maces, staves, or even brass knuckles. These are weapons intended for blunt trauma rather than cutting or slicing.
In some games bodies will disintegrate or simply vanish a short while after death. This is done primarily to mantain a high FPS rate.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
A path that is displayed on screen to help guide the player to certain objectives.
