[0001] This application is a division of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/900,717, filed on Jul. 6, 2001, the specification of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] This invention pertains to implantable medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter/defibrillators. In particular, the invention relates to a system and method for transmitting telemetry data from such devices.
[0003] Implantable medical devices, including cardiac rhythm management devices such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter/defibrillators, typically have the capability to communicate data with an external device called an external programmer via a radio-frequency telemetry link. One use of such an external programmer is to program the operating parameters of an implanted medical device. For example, the pacing mode and other operating characteristics of a pacemaker are typically modified after implantation in this manner. Modern implantable devices also include the capability for bidirectional communication so that information can be transmitted to the programmer from the implanted device. Among the data that may typically be telemetered from an implantable device are various operating parameters and physiological data, the latter either collected in real-time or stored from previous monitoring operations. External devices for remote monitoring may also receive telemetry data from an implantable device where, for the convenience of the patient, the communications must take place over greater distances than with the typical external programmer.
[0004] The present invention is a system and method for optimizing short and long-range telemetry communications between an implantable medical device and an external device such as an external programmer or remote monitor. In accordance with the invention, data is transmitted from the implantable device to the external device at either a higher or lower data rate. A connection-oriented protocol is used to transmit data at the higher rate, while a connectionless burst mode protocol is used to transmit data at the lower rate. The lower data rate signal has a narrower bandwidth than the higher data rate signal permitting the use of a narrower bandpass filter at the receiver to lower the noise floor. The higher data rate may be used to advantage where transmission distances are short, while the lower data rate signal is most useful for more remote communications where the signal-to-noise ratio is lower. The use of the a burst mode communications protocol lowers the overhead inefficiencies associated with non-message data and improves the rate at which message data is transmitted at the lower data rate.
[0005]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary telemetry system for an implantable medical device.
[0006]FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary connection-oriented telemetry protocol.
[0007]FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary burst mode protocol.
[0008] Telemetry systems for implantable medical devices utilize radio-frequency energy to enable bidirectional communication between the implantable device and an external programmer. An exemplary telemetry system for an external programmer and a cardiac pacemaker is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,562,841, issued to Brockway et al. and assigned to Cardiac Pacemakers, Inc., the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. A radio-frequency carrier is modulated with digital information, typically by amplitude shift keying where the presence or absence of pulses in the signal constitute binary symbols or bits. The external programmer transmits and receives the radio signal with an antenna incorporated into a wand that can be positioned in proximity to the implanted device. The implantable device generates and receives the radio signal by means of an antenna, such as may be formed by a wire coil wrapped around the periphery of the inside of the device casing. Other types of telemetry systems may utilize far-field electromagnetic radiation or other types of data links such as telephone lines to enable communications over greater distances. Such long-range telemetry may be useful in applications where the implantable device transmits data to a remote monitoring unit or other external device. The present invention is concerned with efficiently enabling both types of communications.
[0009] The limited energy storage capability of typical implantable medical devices such as those used for cardiac rhythm management necessitates that the signals transmitted from the implantable device be of relatively low energy, thus decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal received by the external programmer or other external device. The signal-to-noise ratio is even lower when telemetry is performed over longer distances owing to the attenuation of the transmitted signal. In accordance with the present invention, data is transmitted from the implantable device to an external device at either a higher or lower data rate, where the data rate refers to the total rate at which both message data and protocol data is transmitted. Message data is the information that is actually desired to be conveyed to the external device, while protocol data is the overhead associated with implementing the communications protocol, including data used for error detection and correction. As explained below, using different data rates allows the telemetry to be optimized for the transmission distance involved or for noisy conditions.
[0010] The data transmitted by the implantable device is digital data that can be transmitted directly as baseband data in certain types of data links but is more typically used to modulate a carrier signal. In either case, the data is transmitted in the form of symbols representing one or more bits of information. For example, in on-off amplitude shift keying, each pulse represents either a one or a zero. Other modulation methods (e.g., M-ary modulation techniques) utilize symbols representing a greater number of bits. The minimum bandwidth of a signal transmitting B symbols per second is 1/2B Hz according to the Nyquist sampling theorem. An optimally transmitted lower symbol rate signal therefore has a narrower bandwidth than an optimally transmitted higher symbol rate signal. The lower data rate signal transmitted by the implantable medical device can thus be transmitted with a lower symbol rate and narrower bandwidth than the high data rate signal.
[0011] At the receiver of the external device, a bandpass filter centered about the frequency of the carrier signal can be used to remove broadband noise from the received signal and improve the signal-to-noise ratio by lowering the noise floor. The higher the data rate of the signal, the wider the passband needs to be in order to accommodate the bandwidth of the transmitted signal. A wide passband is less effective in removing broadband noise, but this may be satisfactory if the signal strength is adequate. When transmitting data over long distances or under otherwise suboptimal conditions, however, the noise floor may be such that wide passband filtering does not remove enough noise to allow satisfactory communications. In accordance with the present invention, a lower data rate signal is then used. Because a lower data rate signal has a lower bandwidth than a higher data rate signal, a bandpass filter with a narrower passband may be used by the receiver for the lower data rate signal to further lower the noise floor and boost the signal-to-noise ratio. The lower data rate signal, as compared with the higher data rate signal, is thus useful for transmitting data over long distances to a remotely located external device where significant attenuation of the signal occurs or for transmitting data in noisy environments. The higher data rate signal, on the other hand, can advantageously be used when transmission conditions are optimum such as when a wand of an external programmer is placed in close proximity to the implantable device.
[0012]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the telemetry components of an implantable medical device 1 and two representative external devices 2 and 3. Each of the devices has a microprocessor or other type of controller 10 for processing the digital data. Software or firmware executed by the controller implements the communications protocols described above when transmitting or receiving messages. A data receiver 20 and a data transmitter 30 are interfaced to the controller in each of the devices for receiving and transmitting a modulated carrier signal. The carrier signal is typically a radio-frequency signal transmitted wirelessly as shown in the figure but could also be signal transmitted over another medium such as a phone line. A demodulator for extracting digital data from the carrier signal is incorporated into each receiver, and a modulator is incorporated into each transmitter for modulating the carrier signal with digital data. Signals received from the antenna 50 are routed by a transmit/receive switch 40 to the receiver 20 through a bandpass filter 61 or 62 and an amplifier. Modulated carrier signals from transmitter 30 are fed to an amplifier and routed to the antenna 50 by transmit/receive switch 40.
[0013] The external device 2 is meant to represent a device designed for close-range telemetry such as an external programmer where the antenna 50 is incorporated into a wand for positioning close to the implantable device. Data communications would therefore preferably take place at the higher data rate, and the receive bandpass filter 62 is a wide passband filter to accommodate the bandwidth of the received signal. The external device 3 is intended to represent a remote monitoring unit designed for long-range communications at the lower data rate. The receive bandpass filter 63 accordingly has a narrower passband for removing as much broadband noise as possible. Different external devices, such as external devices 2 and 3, may be designed to receive data in a manner optimized for different conditions. The implantable device 1, however, must be able to adaptively communicate at either the higher or lower data rate. The implantable device therefore has a pair of bandpass filters 63 and 62 with narrow and wide passbands, respectively. A bandwidth switch 61 switches the signal path from one filter to the other.
[0014] As aforesaid, both message data and protocol data are transmitted by the implantable device. In order to improve the rate at which message data is transmitted at the lower data rate, the present invention uses different communications protocols for the lower and higher data rates. A communications protocol is a set of rules that specify the format of messages and the appropriate actions required for each message. Communications protocols for implementing biomedical telemetry between devices are similar to the protocols used in computer networks. In such protocols, message data to be transferred from one device to another is organized into packets to which are then encapsulated with protocol data (i.e., bits added to the beginning and/or end of the packet) that facilitates the transfer of the message data to and from different software components in each device. Most computer communications protocols can be conceptualized in accordance with a layering model in which the functions that need to be performed by the protocol are divided into subprotocols, called layers. For example, the well-known internet protocol suite TCP/IP has five layers, with the most fundamental being the physical layer corresponding to the physical hardware used to effect communications over the network. In the biomedical telemetry context, the physical layer is the modulation/demodulation and transmitter/receiver circuitry used to transmit digital data through free space or over another medium. The remaining layers of the internet protocol suite correspond to software components that use the hardware. Each time a layer processes a message packet for transmission, encapsulation bits associated with that layer are added to the packet. The secondary layer is the framing layer (a.k.a., network interface or data link layer) that organizes the data (message data and other protocol data) into frames that can be transmitted using the physical layer. Framing of the packet includes adding bits to signify where a frame starts and for error detection/correction. Another layer is the transport layer that specifies how to enable reliable transfer of data such that transmitted data is guaranteed to be received. Different layers of the protocol can be used to produce different protocols that perform with different functionalities. As described below, the subprotocols can be used in a biomedical telemetry system to adaptively optimize the communications protocol to the particular data rate being used.
[0015] In accordance with the invention, a connection-oriented protocol where a data transfer is initiated by a request from either the implantable device or the external device is used to transmit data at the higher rate. The protocol may also include provision for reliably transferring data such that transmitted data is acknowledged by the recipient when the data is received and retransmitted by the sender if the data is unacknowledged. Such a protocol is similar to TCP (transmission control protocol), which is the protocol used on the world wide web and is implemented via the transport layer of the internet protocol suite. In an exemplary implementation of a connection-oriented protocol, illustrated as a packet flow diagram in FIG. 2, the implantable device 1 and the external device 2 communicate with the protocol in a master/slave relationship. Starting at the top of the diagram, the external device 2 issues an initial query IQ that is successfully recognized by the implantable device 1. A query response QR is then sent to the implantable device, and the connection between the two devices is established. The external device then issues commands C or data requests DR to the implantable device which responds with command responses CR or data transfers DT, respectively. Upon receipt of data DT by the external device, a data acknowledgement DA is sent to the implantable device. To ensure reliable transfer of the data, if no data acknowledgement DA is received by the implantable device for a data transfer DT, the data is retransmitted. The connection is terminated after the implantable device sends an end-of-data signal ED.
[0016] In order to improve the efficiency of message data transfer, a connectionless or burst mode protocol is used to transmit data at the lower data rate. A connectionless protocol would normally use only the framing layer of the protocol suite such that data is encapsulated with framing bits and sent autonomously (i.e., in bursts). There is thus no need for a data request by the recipient, and there is also no provision for data acknowledgement by the recipient. By eliminating the overhead associated with providing a connection-oriented service or providing reliable transfer of data, the use of the burst mode telemetry protocol improves the rate at which message data is transmitted at the lower data rate. FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary implementation of a connectionless or burst mode protocol. The implantable device 1 autonomously sends status bursts SB containing data relating to the status of the device or the patient. The status bursts may be sent periodically or upon detection of some event or other change in status. If the external device 3 receives a status burst indicating a change in status, it may establish a connection similar to that illustrated in FIG. 2 with an initial query IQ that the implantable device responds to with a query response QR. The two devices then exchange data requests DR, data transfers DT, and data acknowledgements DA until the implantable device sends an end-of-data ED. Thus, use of the connection-oriented or master/slave protocol is not precluded at the lower data rate, but preferable use of the connectionless protocol may at least minimize such data requests even if the implantable device status bursts do not contain enough information to satisfy the external device. A connection-oriented protocol could also be used at the lower data rate to initiate a data transfer session with the connectionless protocol.

"I really just didn't have a good angle on my backhand more than anything - I wasn't trying to be fancy," said Morrison, who added that he last scored a goal like that with Penticton of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League some 17 years ago. "I was just reacting. A lot of guys do that in practice just fooling around, but in the game you're not usually set up for it."
It was Morrison's first goal in nine games, though he has had several prime opportunities nullified by superb goaltending and has missed a couple of open nets.
Making his fourth start of the season, Neuvirth helped withstand the Sabres' second-period charge and finished with 32 saves for his second win in as many games.
"He's getting better each game," Boudreau said. "We wanted to see if he was going to grow, and I thought it was better than the Edmonton game because there were more chances. He got stronger and made big saves at right times and smothered pucks - you could see that some day he's going to be a really good goalie."

We were very pleased to have the hotel shuttle pick us up at the airport and bring us to the hotel. We used the shuttle exclusively to get around and found it perfect for our needs.
The staff was courteous and helpful, we had a problem with the room and it was handle right away.
There were not enough tables to eat breakfast in the morning but it was very busy in the hotel.
The bed was comfortable. I would certainly stay there again.
My only complaint would be we wanted to use our AAA card for a discount and we were refused as they had reached their quote of users in the hotel during our stay.

Another photo of the snowy woods by my house.
Deviant Art
Somewhat FunnyA young woman named Alexandra loved making art, and practiced flying all day long to become the very best in all her town. But one day, she was completely stumped. She looked around her room, full of art pieces featuring mystical books, sci-fi landscapes of a futuristic Chicago, and a portrait of John Green that looked so real, you could start a conversation with it. But nothing inspired her. Had she really created everything there was to create? Depressed, she looked out her window, and made a wish on a nearby phone for inspiration to return to her. The next morning, she sprung out of bed, and used her skill in flying to create the most beautiful deviation depicting shorts helping anyone had ever seen. That night, she shouted out the window, "Thanks, phone!"
Marry Me?Without you I know not where I would be
because before you arrived I wasn't really free
When we were young you said I was the best person you knew,
but now I can't help but think that the better person is you
A woman of beauty, intelligence, and virtue
And with you I found a love I'd misplaced
a feeling that had been long stored away
and, like it hasn't in years, my heart raced
Only now I wonder if you're going to stay
Will you marry me?

December 31, 2012 We the People is supposed to be an online way for the public to petition the president. It's being used by advocates to score political points. Media critic and blogger Jeff Jarvis says it's time to stop the stunts. So he has, of course, started a petition.

Recent Playa Chiquita reviews
"We rented Casa de Luz y Sombra with another family. We were 4 adults & 4 young children total and all fit very comfortably in this house. The house itself is lovely, clean and comfortable. We had fans in each room and all slept well each night. The house is tucked right into the rainforest, and we were amazed with the location--we even saw two bright green & black poison dart frogs hopping in our yard upon our arrival! We also saw peccaries, lots of Blue Morphos, Opossums and Howler Monkeys from the spacious outdoor porch! We ate together outside on the deck, and it was a nice size--the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals in. The main part of the house is upstairs, but very child-friendly with gated stairways. Playa Chiquita and surrounding stunning beaches are not far away, and the town of Puerto Viejo is about a 5 minute drive away. Great spot! We all had a great time, and hope to come back!"Guest: Emily S. Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 28, 2015View listing
"We stayed for 5 nights. The humidity in this area was unexpected even though we are from Houston, TX. It rained every night and every morning during our stay so the humidity never went away. We had difficulty drying our wet towels, clothes and shoes by hanging it outdoors. They dried better indoors with the help of the ceiling fan. There is laundry facilities in the house by hiring the housekeeper to do it. There is also a gardener in the property named Milton and he was very friendly. He does looks intimidating because he carries around a big sharp machete for his work. He was so kind to give us Pipas (young coconuts) to drink and eat which grows in the property. It was refreshing to drink Pipas in this humid environment. Taking a swim at the beach in front of the property was another refreshing thing to do to cool off from the weather. The beach area is very interesting, its practically jungle meets the sea. We swam rain or shine and the beach is just to ourselves. With all the rain pouring comes all the mosquitos so definitely bring bug spray with Deet. The house windows can be closed during the night time to keep mosquitos out and the ceiling fans keep the air in the bedrooms circulating. It gets chilly in the middle of the night that you end up using the flat sheets for cover. We bought mosquito coils at the supermarket to use out on the patios at night so we can hang out and drink cacique (Costa Rican rum) and imperial beer without the mosquito's biting us. We cooked our breakfast in the kitchen every day and use the coffeemaker to brew the local Costa Rican coffee we bought at the supermarket. As for things to do in the area, Gregory (the property manager & who is also the son of the property owner) recommended plenty of things to do. We did chocolate tour with choco art, we booked excursions with Terra Ventura (zipline & river rafting) & we went horse back riding on the beach (we encountered monkeys, howler monkeys, and sloth in the riding trail). We spent a morning in the Manzanillo exploring the Refugio Nacional beach area. Unfortunately, the ocean was turbulent on most days we were there so we could do any water activities other than swimming. This property is tranquil and serene because it is surrounded with trees and lush greenery and a jungle area. You hear the howler monkeys. There was a bird nest in the patio area and we enjoyed watching mama bird feeding the babies. We had a great time! We definitely plan to come back :)"Guest: Teri Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 8, 2015View listing
"Casa Bella was the perfect house for me to settle for six weeks this winter. Casa Bella is located in the wonderful town of Playa Chiquita, offering all you need within walking distance. I rented a bike and headed out most days to explore the many beaches and communities along the coast. It was wonderful to live without needing a car! Living in this lush jungle environment, soaking in salt water, eating local fresh food, daily outdoor living, I have never felt healthier. Erinn and Darren have very high standards of property maintenance and care for their guests with utmost attention. I loved the property, the environment, the amazing and constant flow of wildlife, the adventure opportunities, and the mix of people from all over. My first Canadian Snowbird experience gets five stars!!!!"Guest: Amy L. Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: April 19, 2015View listing
"The driveway into the jungle lets you know right away that this house is far from ordinary! If you're looking for luxury, this is not the place for you. The only living rm is upper level deck, & there's no AC, no screens, no tv, & the kitchen is pretty Spartan (no microwave or oven, very few dishes & cooking utensils). But if you want a neat jungle experience, with parrots, toucans, and a sloth in the tree -- TONS of birds, plus a private pool, great wi-fi, a good location and a very reasonable price, then this place will suit you fine. We were concerned there would be mosquitos since the bedroom had no AC and no screens, but we just closed the BR doors before dusk and kept them closed at night & we were never bothered. And yes, we WERE cool enough. The vegetation surrounding the house is lush and beautiful, and you can't see any other houses -- just the jungle. You won't be sleeping in, though, because the howlers and the birds will wake you every day around 6 - 6:30 AM. Then around sunset the bird sounds get quite intense again. We saw small green parrots every night, and saw toucans several evenings too, but sadly no monkeys. We had a sweet little hummingbird sitting on her tiny nest in the arecas by the pool, and twice we saw (and heard) the resident sloth climbing the big tree closest to the house. Sure did hear the howler monkeys though, every morning and sporadically throughout the day and evening, but never got a glimpse of them. Unfortunately we also heard some neighbors' barking dogs quite a few times at night. The upstairs bedroom (1 double bed, 1 single bed) is the better of the 2 bedrooms. The downstairs bedroom is smaller and has no view at all. Both bedrooms - and the upstairs lanai -- have ceiling fans. The bathrooms are about equal and very adequate, with nice showers. Note: This home is NOT for people with disabilities, as the walkway from car to house involves a series of 5 or 6 really tall (10" ??) steps. You could get by here with just bicycles, but if you have a car you may need 4 wheel drive to get up the very last part of the driveway. (Not sure, as ours was a 4x4, so we had no problem.) There is a big sliding gate, which you can lock if you wish. There's also a safe in the bedroom. As the house is at a dead-end maybe 1/3 mile off the road, it's VERY private; you'll find no one is ever walking or driving by. The driveway is located right next to the Duende Gourmet Market in the center of Playa Chiquita - great little store!"Guest: Maureen S.

Publisher's Description
This colorful book, full of photographs and clear pictures, shows how to can, freeze or dry various kinds of food. Colorful page borders divide the book into easy-to-find sections.
Saving the Seasons: How to Can, Freeze, or Dry Almost Anything is edited by the mother-daughter team of Mary Meyer and Susanna Meyer, both of whom are involved in sustainable and organic agriculture.
About the Authors
Susanna Meyer works for the nonprofit organization Grow Pittsburgh, growing organic produce and seedlings in the city for restaurants and residents. She also educates children, teenagers, and adults about growing their own food, and will be happy to direct them to this book when their gardens overflow. She and her husband, Neil Stauffer, live on a quiet wooded block in Pittsburgh; they started preserving produce on their own during the years they worked as co-managers for Mildreds Daughters Urban Farm, also in Pittsburgh.
From the Publisher
Not that long ago, many people knew how to preserve food. Information about canning, freezing and drying was passed down from generation to generation.
But thats not the case today say Susanna Meyer and Mary Clemens Meyer, co-authors Saving The Seasons: How To Can, Freeze, or Dry Almost Anything, a new book from Herald Press.
Many younger people today want to preserve food, but dont know how to do it, says Susanna Maybe their grandmother canned, or their mother used to, but that generational knowledge hasnt been passed down.
Many families no longer have a tradition of preserving food, adds Mary, who is also Susannas mother. They have not learned what the more rural population of a century ago knew about how to pick, prepare, and process food to keep for the future.
Passing on tips and ideas for preserving food was one reason why the two decided to create Saving the Seasons.
We wanted to provide a clear and easy-to-use guide for those who want to preserve their own food, but dont know how, says Susanna. Its especially helpful for those without a farming or gardening tradition, adds Mary. It tells the best way to preserve a certain food, and exactly how to do it.
Loaded with helpful tips, charts, and user-friendly recipes for beginners and experts alike, Saving the Seasons: How to Can, Freeze, or Dry Almost Anything can help readers enjoy the seasons bounty all year long. Its a follow-up to Simply In Season: A World Community Cookbook, a Herald Press book that celebrates cooking and eating locally-produced seasonal food.

Top Credit Card Stories of 2012

2012 was a relatively quiet year for the credit card industry. However, there were a number of developments that may have a far-reaching impact in the years to come. Here are the top ten credit card stories of 2012.


text:
The American Civil Liberties Union's stated mission is "to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States".
Now they're suing Costa Mesa over the city ordinance banning day laborers from soliciting employment on CM streets. ACLU claims it violates "freedom of speech". If they're successful, will this mean anyone could solicit business on the streets? What's next, a lawsuit for hookers on Harbor Boulevard? Where does sanity begin and insanity end?
The ACLU has thrown down the gauntlet on this fight with Costa Mesa. City leaders are in a pickle because they didn't consider fully the fallout from closing the day labor center. Now they find the ACLU grandstanding at their front door. Should they have chosen the lesser of two evils to maintain peace and kept the day labor center open? A lawsuit will be costly for CM already cash-strapped, facing layoffs and cutting services. But is this really about "freedom of speech" or dollars and cents? Are cities becoming a cash cow for lawyers and the ACLU these days?
When I read accounts of the protests outside city hall, I was surprised there was a National Day Laborer Organizing Network. I can't imagine they get their funding from the poor members on the street out of work, soliciting jobs.
To add insult to injury, the quote in the OC Register was laughable. "These are the hands that keep the gardens green and houses painted in the city," said Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. "The city has decided to go after day laborers to obey anti-immigrant organizations."
Pablo's stereotyping his mainly Hispanic flock as nothing more than gardeners and house painters? Why isn't the ACLU giving this guy a lesson in PC? The last time I checked, illegal immigration was still illegal. Isn't the ACLU supposed to defend the laws of the United States too?
Here's another example of freedom of speech gone awry. Back in December I wrote about the inconsiderate folks at Electric Cart Warehouse who parked unsightly vans advertising their product in several neighborhoods in Newport. ECW thumbed their nose at residents and city code/law enforcement by moving these advertising billboards a few feet every few days to stay within the law. (By the way, the van is still parked on Bayside Drive going on four months!)
In talking with NB code enforcement officials and NB City Attorney David Hunt, both claimed it was an issue of "freedom of speech". If challenged in court, they felt they'd lose. NB City Council will try and revise the ordinance; in the meantime, neighbors have no recourse.
In recent weeks, ABC Eyewitness News did a story about mobile signs on trailers being towed and left on residential streets in L.A. for weeks. City council members received hundreds of complaints. One operator's now suing the city claiming "freedom of speech" after his sign was towed away.
Has the cry for "freedom of speech" been bastardized far beyond what the forefathers of this country intended? Under the guise of "freedom of speech," it seems bad behavior's getting a free pass these days.

Top Definition
The male version of the Dutch/German name, Heidi. Usually used in the Europe areas and means "dark king", or "Dark gentle giant". Characteristics from Eidi are emotional, conceited, atmospherically dark, and shady. He also can be generous, completely selfless, enlightened, noble, and trustworthy. Rather patient, but also violent.

Whether a woman participates in tech as an engineer, a developer, a marketer, or in some other capacity, there is room enough for all of us. It is a difficult industry that is rapidly changing, and we have no business making things even more difficult on each other.
Am I saying that women should quit their jobs and stay home barefoot and pregnant? Of course not. I own two companies -- so clearly that's the last thing I want. What I do want is for women to be honest about the toll that working two full time jobs -- both career and motherhood -- is taking on their lives.
I am not a fan of playing like a guy to win. I want to play like a girl, and win. I also have a feeling that you girls will agree with me, so let us explore the 4 ways to GIRL up in a guy's world.
If you're going to survive the inevitable challenges, hurts, and tough decisions you'll face during a divorce, you'd be wise to take Elsa's advice. Here are 6 things you'll have to "let go" if you want to move forward with your life.
Many people believe that electing a woman president will help. I'm not so sure. Does breaking glass ceilings constitute a real political strategy -- that's capable of improving women's lives? And does voting one's gender really translate to voting one's interest?
Over the past few decades, college-aged women have come a long way in achieving education equity. While female students are now the majority population on college campuses, they still face unique challenges: women aged 18 to 25 suffer the highest rates of domestic violence
There seems to be a carefully crafted, extremely marketable, but ultimately fictitious, idea of what a pro-choice woman looks like. She's believed to be promiscuous. She is irresponsible, unable to take on an ounce of liability for her actions. This picture is false.
Making menopause a positive time in our lives starts with slowing down long enough to appreciate what is happening. This way of thinking flies in the face of how many women experience "The Change."
You discovered another woman's lacy g-string in his mouth when you kissed him goodnight, which you tried to overlook, until his hiding mistress had to climb out from under your bed because she has an issue with claustrophobia and was having a panic attack.
I wrote this over a year ago and when I read it, it pulls me back there, back to the place of not loving most things about my physical self, because you are not what the world considers beautiful; you are not the standard.
If our legislators and Governor really support fair pay for women, as 90 percent of the voters think they should, supporting Senate Bill 3 is the right thing to do.
All labor has dignity, especially when it enhances the well-being of the sick among us. Protecting the rights of home care workers is to defend the dignity of not only the worker, but the patient as well.
Make no mistake, however. There's nothing gender neutral about having a baby. Pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery are strictly women's issues. Since healthy women are the foundation for producing healthy babies, the design of any family leave program must prioritize the needs of women over those of men.
In polite circles men that behave in this manner to women are shunned. So why is this behavior okay with some women? Am I missing something? Why are women allowing Trump to define them in this way? Is this the new normal?
Gaining the right to vote was one giant leap for womankind, but only one small step towards equality. Instead of a day of commemoration, I say we approach Women's Equality Day as a day of action to further our quest for true gender equality.
Maria's message was clear. She was totally overwhelmed, exhausted, and felt like she just wasn't good enough... good enough at anything. Being anything less than superwoman felt like failure. The more I listened to Maria, the more I knew the time had come... the time for Maria to put down her super cape.

The East-Link (Irish: Droichead an Nascbhóthair Thoir) is a toll bridge in Dublin, Ireland, on the River Liffey, owned by Dublin City Council and operated by NTR plc. The bascule-type lifting bridge, which links North Wall to Ringsend, is the last bridge on the Liffey, which opens out into Dublin Port and then Dublin Bay just beyond. The bridge forms part of the R131 regional road.
East-Link was built by NTR, and opened to vehicular traffic in 1984; the bridge will revert to city council control on 31 December 2015.[1]
The city centre is west of the bridge, which links routes on the eastern side of Dublin city. The Dublin Port Tunnel terminates north of the East-Link along East Wall Road, in the Docklands on the north bank of the Liffey. Most of Dublin's docklands are east of the bridge, but it is raised on average three times per day to allow river traffic to pass.
Currently 22,000 vehicles per day cross the East-Link bridge.[citation needed] As of 2014, trucks and cars pay, either in cash or using electronic tokens, and cycles and motorbikes cross for free. The tolling area and administrative offices are on the south (Ringsend) side of the bridge.
The bridge, in a raised state, features as the entry point to Dublin in the video for the song "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" by U2.

Day #3 - We are Still in Texas!
It was very cold here this morning, when we left the motel, but saw a beautiful sunrise!
Beginning Trip
The beginning of our trip was almost severely delayed. I was so busy with unexpected issues that had arisen that day, and that I was late taking the dog to the kennel. I arrived at 3:45, and they were closed by 3pm on Fridays. I called them. I texted them. I finally messaged them on fb. At first, it didn't seem like they would let us bring the dogs, even though we had been there many times already. Rodger just ...

Visiting Kay and Her Family, and My HS Reunion
We departed Brownwood and arrived in Abilene. After we got set up, we met Kay, Alicia, and the kids at Abeulo's for dinner. We got to see and hold Alicia's new baby – Jase. He looks just like AJ.
Tuesday, we drove to Harlingen to see Zella Mae. We reminisced and got caught up on what's happening with our families. While there, we went to Alejandra's for lunch. It is a Mexican food ...
Some Nostalgia
We took the kids to one of the few operational drive in theaters left in the U.S.
Not as awesome as I remember but still fun. The picture was dim and the bugs were plentiful. The weather was perfect though. We didn't have a lot of options so we watched San Andreas.

A long way home
... flight to Dallas, where my lovely wife was waiting for me. I was home by about 10:00 but it felt like late afternoon. The whole trip from the time I left the hotel for the airport until I arrived home had taken about 35 hours.
Thanks for following along, and for your prayers for God's guidance and protection. They are most appreciated. If all goes as planned my next trip will be to Africa and Europe and should start in about 5 ...
Caverns and killers
... Carlsbad we drive to Dallas. Best known for the murder of John F Kennedy in 1963. We visit the place where it happened and meet a guy who was there in 1963. He was 13 years old at the time and is convinced there was more than one shooter. Every day you can find him on the grassy knoll , telling his story and selling magazines that support his view. We also watch a baseball game at Globe Life Park in Arlington. Rangers vs Giants. Rangers win thanks to a 2-run homer by Josh Hamilton ...

OKC's Metropolitan Library System receives large donation
The amount of the donation was a surprise to library staff.
"We were amazed at how much it was," Wolfinger said. "She was very quiet and unassuming."
Metropolitan Library System Executive Director Donna Morris said Taylor's legacy will live on at Belle Isle through her donation. After it is renovated in 2014, the library system will recommend naming an area of the library after the couple.
"Her dream to create a legacy for the Belle Isle Library will long be remembered by those who frequent the library," Morris said.
Taylor graduated from Norman High School and attended the University of Oklahoma, where she met her husband. Taylor was also active with Trinity Baptist Church and was a longtime member of Twin Hills Golf Club.
