The number of households receiving food stamps has reached an all-time high in Galax, said Susan Clark, director of the city's Department of Social Services.
Galax joins other cities around the nation, which are also setting records. According to a report from Bloomberg, "the number of Americans receiving food stamps rose to a record 41.8 million in July as the jobless rate hovered near a 27-year high," setting a record.
The report says that 43.3 million people will receive food stamps each month.
HILLSVILLE — After a ribbon cutting — and moving the orange barrels lining the construction area — Virginia Department of Transportation officially added about 1.5 miles of four-lane highway to its system in Carroll County last Wednesday.
Transportation officials joined with local representatives to celebrate the opening of the U.S. 58 bypass to U.S. 52 with a ribbon cutting and a short ride on the completed section.
Monthly benefits for Social Security and Supplemental Security Income for more than 58 million Americans will not automatically increase in 2011, the Social Security Administration announced Friday.
The Social Security Act provides for an automatic increase in benefits if there is an increase in the Consumer Price Index for wage earners from the third quarter of the last year that a cost-of-living adjustment was determined, to the third quarter of the current year.
HILLSVILLE — Carroll supervisors showed themselves more open to preserving open space in clustering developments while reviewing elements of the subdivision ordinance Monday.
A little haggling, though, went on between open space's main proponent, Supervisor Tom Littrell, and other members of the board of supervisors and the planning commission, after their joint public hearing to consider other amendments to the ordinance.
Federal housing officials are planning to loan more than $46.6 million to help unemployed homeowners in Virginia.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will use the agency's Emergency Loan Program to fund the loans. The program will provide assistance for up to 24 months for homeowners who lost their jobs or have a medical condition and are at risk of foreclosure.
The program will be used along with other government programs and requires homeowners to meet certain qualifications.
What a difference a year makes.
Last October, Virginians waited hours for vaccines and flooded doctors' offices with the sneezing and wheezing of the pandemic H1N1 virus, better known as swine flu.
This fall, life on the influenza front is calmer and less complicated. Flu cases are barely on the radar screen, and there's plenty of vaccine to go around.
HILLSVILLE — The lead-up to the 1912 courthouse shootout that left five dead started out with seeming innocence at a corn shucking.
HILLSVILLE — Adding two chemical agents to the sewage system at Woodlawn may reduce the odor that residents have been experiencing, Carroll Public Service Authority officials hope.
Several citizens attended September's PSA meeting to vent about the rotten egg smell that lingers over their neighborhood after the installation of the new sewer system.
The hardest-hit area appears to near the intersection of Woodlawn Road and Grandview, not far from Woodlawn School.
The Galax Police Department received a report at 4:49 p.m. today, Thursday, that a Walmart associate was told there was possibly a bomb located in the store.
Galax police responded and the store was evacuated pending a search. Explosive canines were used to check the store.
Galax police are seeking a white male, approximately 40 years old, 6'3" tall, wearing a faded red T-shirt and tan or khaki pants. The suspect was known to be located in the service desk area prior to communicating the threat.
The store was cleared to reopen at 8:45 PM.

Bruce Sterling's Wired UK article on the value of design fiction is very much worth a read, as it defines the field so well:
"A formal definition exists: "Design fiction is the deliberate use of diegetic prototypes to suspend disbelief about change."
There's heavy freight in that sentence, but most can be disposed of promptly. "Deliberate use" means that design fiction is something that people do with a purpose.
"Diegetic" is from film and theatre studies. A movie has a story, but it also has all the commentary, scene-setting, props, sets and gizmos to support that story. Design fiction doesn't tell stories — instead, it designs prototypes that imply a changed world.
"Suspending disbelief" means that design fiction has an ethics. Design fictions are fakes of a theatrical sort, but they're not wicked frauds or hoaxes intended to rob or fool people. A design fiction is a creative act that puts the viewer into a different conceptual space — for a while. Then it lets him go. Design fiction has an audience, not victims.
Finally, there's the part about "change". Awareness of change is what distinguishes design fictions from jokes about technology, such as over-complex Heath Robinson machines or Japanese chindogu ("weird tool") objects. Design fiction attacks the status quo and suggests clear ways in which life might become different."
So what is their value?
"The objects offered to us in a capitalist marketplace have three basic qualities: they are buildable, profitable and desirable. They have to be physically feasible, something that functions and works. They need some business model that allows economic transactions. And they have to provoke someone's consumer desire.
Outside of these strict requirements is a much larger space of potential objects. And those three basic limits all change with time. Through new technology, new things become buildable. Business models collapse or emerge from disruption. People are very fickle. That's how it works out — and the supposed distinction between "real" and "not-real" is pretty small."
On his blog Bruce provides a huge, personally annotated catalogue of examples of design fiction.
They range from sketches to personas, from imaginary future scientific experiments to theatrical events, from apps to start-ups, from exhibitions
to exhibitions, and from physical objects to books, to inspiring videos.
Here are some examples of design fiction videos:
The future that Mirrobe (pronounced MEER-Obe), a design fiction by Samuel Kobe, is imagined to be from isn't all the different from one we enjoy today. The technology will not be anything majorly advanced, but instead versions of existing technology both refined and more completely integrated into the household. Kobe expects it to be the year 2020 to 2025 when his design fiction would be in production and fully integrated into the households of the modern world.

nuna by Guri Venstad is a system of patches that integrate with your skin and provide new sensory experiences.
In a time where visual displays are frequently asking for our attention, nuna offers a more subtle and unobtrusive approach using ambient touch. The system consists of three patches that use patterns in vibration, temperature and contraction to form a new haptic language.

Hi everyone,
I was wandering whether there was a way to zoom vertically on the timeline, thus enabling to see more timeline at a time (zoom out) or making tweaks on effect timelines easier (zoom in). I can't find a way to do it.
Having large clips seems to be mainly useful for displaying at the same time thumbnails of the video and the audio waveform. But when the video has no audio or if the audio is separated from audio (see issue 332 :
with wich I totally agree, because I think audio should always be separated from video) then it start to get difficult to see all the tracks, especially beacuse audio tracks are grouped together under the video tracks.
Tue, 11/18/2008 - 21:32
Try ctrl+mouse wheel. Or, the slider in the button of the screen. Note the small zoom buttons.
Fri, 11/21/2008 - 04:02
Not a bad idea... It could be implemented in the exact same way as the horizontal zoom, just with the slider on the right...
Fri, 11/21/2008 - 08:36
The zoom you are refering to is the horizontal zoom (or time zoom or whatever it should be called), and not a vertical zoom that would make the timeline heights smaller... Maybe my first post wasn't very clear...
Ah, sorry, my bad (mental note: vertical is not the same as horizontal). This is a neat idea, even though it is potentially hard on the thumbnail generating code (we should probably create mipmapped thumbnails for fixed levels of zomm).
Thank you for posting a feature request.

Released: Jan 31st, 2008
Running Time: 116 Min.
Director: Anton Slayer
Companies: Ethnicity Films, Metro Distributors
Cast: Marco Banderas, Veronique Vega, Evan Stone, Reena Sky, Christian X, Eva Angelina, Cassandra Cruz, Alex (I), Ben English, Mikayla (I), Sheila Marie
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
"Mamacitas" means "little mama," so you could call this a MILF title if you wanted, though not much is made of that angle. What you do get are five fiercely caliente scenes of gorgeous Latinas sucking and fucking to a flamenco beat. Best is Mikayla, a big-boobed babe in a sexy leopard bikini. Evan Stone rubs his cock all over her back and crack before some great mish fucking - not an easy position to film - ending in a man-juice glaze on her tits.
Cassandra Cruz and Reena Sky get into some steamy standing positions with Marco Banderas, and the always-scorching Eva Angelina does a slippery solo before taking Christian X's tool down her throat. Sheila Marie does the only anal scene right at the end. The camerawork is interesting, and the action is strokable without being too hardcore. This would make a good choice for couples viewing.
Retailing: In the interracial section, point out to curious couples.

Adaptive Predictive Modeling of Stereo LPC with Application to Lossless Audio Compression
We propose a novel method for exploiting the redundancy of stereo linear prediction coefficients by using adaptive linear prediction for the coefficients themselves. We show that an important proportion of the stereo linear prediction coefficients, on both the intrachannel and the interchannel parts, still contains important redundancy inherited from the signal. We can therefore significantly reduce the amplitude range of those LP coefficients by using adaptive linear prediction with orders up to 4, separately on the intrachannel and intrachannel parts. When integrated into asymmetrical OptimFROG, the new method obtains on average 0.29% improvement in compression with negligible increase in decoder complexity.

SAVING AMERICA THROUGH PRAYER DECLARATION...please participate

Post Content
Intercessors for America
I am deeply grieved at the state of our nation. In order to see a more perfect Union, I come with a deep sense of humility and desperation to make the following Declaration to Divine Providence and to my fellow man:
I am distressed that we have become a nation that celebrates immorality as entertainment.
I am distraught that we have mortgaged our children's future for todays wants.
I mourn that the followers of Jesus Christ have not led our society.
I am concerned for a generation that is addicted to the next good feeling.
I am troubled that our lives are such that we rarely have the time to think of others.
I am grieved that I have passively watched our leaders legislate ungodly laws.
I will not give up on America. It is time our nation must be restored!
I will battle for this nation daily, wielding the most powerful weapon available:
I will cry out to the Creator recognized by our founders- for righteous leaders, for just laws, for the family, for the unborn, for fiscal responsibility,for the peace of Jerusalem.
I will pray not for the cursing, but rather the blessing of all of our elected officials; that all would know Him and be an instrument in the hand of the Lord.
I will seek and encourage others to pray and act as God moves upon this land.
I will stay informed, so that I might pray more effectively.
I will be a house of prayer for this nation.
This is my battle cry: God can save America!
May His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven, and may Jesus Christ be Lord of America!
Anonymous Coward 2174190
Amen!!! We should never under-estimate the power we have as belivers coming together. The Lord said that when two are more are gathered in His name, that He shall be there in the midst of them. My pastor was just telling a story yesterday about how seventeen teenagers crying out to God sparked a year-long revival in Wales. Over one million people were saved. That is what we need. This country needs revival. We need to be on our knees, praying for lost souls. As the world becomes more sinful, and things progress, we can see that the day of the Lord is drawing near. When that day comes, I don't want one person to be left behind when I could have told them about Jesus. I don't want them to say "You lived next door to me for 15 years", or "We worked in the same office." If we truly are Christians, then we shouldn't care what anyone thinks. We shouldn't be embarrassed. Our only concern should be saving as many souls as we can. Alot of people in church today are going through the motions. They're there out of obligation, and it's obvious. But, there's a remnant....a small group of people in churches all across America, and the world that will not compromise. They wil not take the mark. They will not submit to immorality, or wickedness. God is going to use those people to raise up His army, and to bring revival. The Bible says that in the last days there will a great reival. When we come together in the name of the Lord, something amazing will begin to happen. We will begin to shake the powers of darkness. People will come to know Jesus, and will be saved from Hell. Heaven will be their eternal home. That's why we can't give up. We must keep pressing towards the mark!
Thank you, dear one...
Your post says it all...we must stand united as the Body of Christ here on earth. Our lips must speak, our hands must reach, our hearts must beat...FOR JESUS!
God Bless You

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
Actually i can add a column element in template builder in choices, but i'm trying to modify register-admin-dynamic-options.php to add a new kind of Columns style. 5 columns with 20% 20% 20% 20% 20%.
When i add the option to the javascript i can see the option to select the fifth column but i can't see the fifth element of my new kind of column.
Where each colums is being generated I tried to add 1 loop to the for into de Register-admin-dynamic-options.php around lline 556 but this loop doens't create the fifth element.
Can u guide me to add this feature to your awesome template?
Thank you.
Hi pocharlies,
I've tagged the topic for the head of support as I've not dug into the template builder code that deeply but Peter should be able to assist one way or another.
Did you modify wp-contentthemeschoicesincludeshelper-template-dynamic.php too? You probably need to add the "one_fifth" column structure to the layout array. Open up wp-contentthemeschoicesincludeshelper-template-dynamic.php and search for:
$config_array = array(
'1-2' => array( 'grid'=>'one_half' , 'caption'=>true, 'image_size'=>'portfolio'),
'1-3' => array( 'grid'=>'one_third' , 'caption'=>true, 'image_size'=>'portfolio'),
'1-4' => array( 'grid'=>'one_fourth' , 'caption'=>true, 'image_size'=>'portfolio'),
'2-3' => array( 'grid'=>'two_third' , 'caption'=>true, 'image_size'=>'dynamic_2'),
'2-4' => array( 'grid'=>'one_half two_fourth' , 'caption'=>true, 'image_size'=>'dynamic_1'),
'3-4' => array( 'grid'=>'three_fourth' , 'caption'=>true, 'image_size'=>'dynamic_3'),
The topic 'Choices, Columns' is closed to new replies.

Ground control to Major Tom: NASA MMO gets a developer
NASA, Virtual Heroes and Project Whitecard have entered into an agreement to develop the space program's MMO, Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond.
NASA hopes that the Unreal Engine 3-driven game will be a learning tool, and will help more students become interested in engineering and science careers.
"We want to create a fun, compelling gaming experience that will give players the chance to learn about science and engineering careers while they play the game," said Daniel Laughlin, project manager at NASA to Yahoo Games.
"NASA is committed to attracting more students to science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields of study and careers. We hope this game will inspire players to consider those careers."
Astronaut is due to be released in 2010. A demo is expected sometime around the end of this year.

James Bateman
James Bateman (18 July 1811 – 27 November 1897) was a British landowner and accomplished horticulturist. He developed Biddulph Grange after moving there around 1840, from nearby Knypersley Hall in Staffordshire, England. He created the famous gardens at Biddulph with the aid of his friend and painter of seascapes Edward William Cooke. From 1865–70 he was president of the North Staffordshire Field Club, the large local club which researched in local natural history and folklore.
He was born at Redvales near Bury in Lancashire, he matriculated with Lincoln College, Oxford, in 1829, graduating from Magdalen College with a BA in 1834 and an MA in 1845. Over the twenty years he made a great deal of money in iron, engineering and banking.[1] In 1861, Bateman and his notable sons (who included the painter Robert Bateman) gave up the house and gardens at Biddulph, and he moved to Kensington in London. He later moved to Worthing in Sussex, where he died on 27 November 1897.[2]
Collector of plants[edit]
"MA Magdalen College, Oxford, 1845, took great interest in collecting and cultivating tropical plants; FLS, 1833; FRS, 1838; fellow of Royal Horticultural Society; published writings on orchids and other horticultural subjects."[3]
He was a collector of and scholar on orchids, President of the North Staffordshire Field Society, and served on the Royal Horticultural Society's Plant Exploration Committee. He especially loved rhododendrons and azaleas. He had a number of notable sons who grew up at Biddulph Grange, including the painter Robert Bateman.
Bateman was "a collector and scholar on orchids,"[4] and "was one of the early developers of orchid culture. He sponsored expeditions to Mexico and South America enabling collectors to gather rare specimens. He published three lavish books about orchids. He pioneered "cool orchid cultivation" which enabled the Odontoglossum to be cultivated in England, replicating the cool arid climate of the cloud forests in Central America where these exotic flowers are found. Walter Hood Fitch, (1817–1892)...was employed by Bateman to create the paintings for his magnificent orchid books...exceedingly rare, A Monograph of Odontoglossum, is composed of thirty large scale hand-coloured lithographs."[5] The naturalist, Charles Darwin "received a box of orchids from Bateman on 25 January 1862 (and) a letter from him dated 28 January 1862."[6]
Garden designer[edit]
He created the famous gardens at Biddulph with the aid of his friend and painter of seascapes Edward William Cooke. His gardens at Biddulph are a rare survival of the interim period between Capability Brown landscape garden and the High Victorian style. The gardens are compartmentalised and divided into themes.
Bateman "was also responsible for laying out the Arboretum at Derby, the first public park in England."[7]
The children's book by Priscilla Masters, Mr Bateman's Garden (1987), is a fantasy set in the gardens.
On 24 April 1838, he married Maria Sybilla, third daughter of Rowland Egerton Warburton and sister of Peter Egerton Warburton; they had three sons, John, Rowland, and Robert, and a daughter, Katherine, who married Ulrick Ralph Burke.[2]
- The Orchidaceae of Mexico and Guatemala by James Bateman, c.1845 "Only 125 copies of this book were published. It is physically one of the largest botanical books ever published."[8]
- A Second Century of Orchidaceous Plants, by James Bateman, London: L. Reeve & Co., 1867. "Large-4to (315 x 245 mm). pp. viii, with 100 beautifully handcoloured lithographed plates and descriptive text."

If union demands are granted, wage increases would cause mines to close. Thousands of jobs could be lost in a country where unemployment exceeds 25 percent.
Union Demands Could Hurt South Africa's Economy
Gavin Keeton is in the economics department at Rhodes University in South Africa.
Updated December 7, 2013, 11:37 AM
South Africa needs sustained rapid economic growth to tackle its persistent problems of high unemployment and inequality. International experience suggests growth of at least 6 percent per annum is needed, but actual growth falls far short of this. Since the end of apartheid the economy has grown by 3.5 percent annually. From 2005 to 2007, growth exceeded 5 percent. But the global economic crisis showed this was because of the previously booming global economy, rather than an improvement in South Africa´s economy.
Growth since 2008 recovered to only 3 percent and is expected to be just 2 percent in 2013. Slowing economic growth is caused in part by growing labor unrest which is fueled by frustration at the slow pace of economic change. This is most obvious in mining, where workers were tragically shot by police last year while striking at the Marikana platinum mine. It is also a factor in the threatened split within the Confederation of South African Trade Unions, which is a formal alliance party of the ruling African National Congress.
Large numbers of miners have deserted the once-mighty National Union of Mineworkers in favor of the rival Association of Mine Workers and Construction Union. The Association's union now claims majority status in much of the platinum industry. This is very important, because the labor relations structures put in place since 1994 greatly favor the dominant union.
Annual wage negotiations are stalled in the critically important platinum industry. Both major unions have demanded high wage increases, even though many platinum mines are experiencing losses because of falling prices and high costs. A prolonged strike at the Northam platinum mine indicates that neither employers nor unions are willing to back down. If union demands are granted, the wage increases would cause mines to close. Thousands of jobs could be lost in a country where unemployment exceeds 25 percent.
Lost mining production would also reduce export earnings. South Africa already runs a large deficit with the rest of the world, which has been filled in recent years by foreign capital inflows attracted by relatively high interest rates. These inflows are already threatened by the prospect of U.S. monetary policy tapering, so the Rand exchange rate could weaken even further.
Aware of these risks, a committee of government, business and union officials is working hard to ease tensions in the mining sector. Hopefully it will succeed in reaching an outcome that protects jobs and output, as well as the long-term economic viability of a sector that remains critical to South Africa´s long-term well being.

Track Your Smoking
Topic Overview
Tracking your smoking can be helpful both while you prepare to quit and after you quit. Use it to record information about your smoking behavior, such as:
- Your list of reasons to quit.
- Your smoking triggers, which are those times, places, and situations when you reach for a cigarette.
- Contact information for your support people.
Start tracking your smoking before your quit date, if possible. Make entries for at least 7 days (one full week). Record:
- The time, place, and situation (for example, after a meal or during a coffee break) for each cigarette you smoke.
- The level or degree of your urge to smoke and your feelings about not smoking. Describe the feelings and thoughts you have while smoking.
Take a look at your weeks' worth of notes, and identify when or where you will be most likely to relapse. Think about whether you can avoid these situations. If you cannot avoid them, make a plan of action that lists what you will do instead of smoking when you find yourself in those situations. Add this action plan to your tracker.
After your quit date, record:
- Each urge or craving for a cigarette and the time, place, and situation.
- The level or degree of your urge to smoke and your feelings about not smoking.
- Anything you do to help you get through the urge (for example, changing activities, breathing as though you are smoking, chewing on a straw).
Tracking doesn't have to be hard or complex. For example, you can make a chart with four columns and a row for each cigarette you smoke. Title the columns "Cigarette," "Time," "Place or situation," and "Level of need." Rate your level of need from 1 to 5, with 5 being the strongest urge to smoke.
Here's a sample of what this smoking tracker might look like for someone who is preparing to quit:
|Place or situation
|Level of need (1-5)
|In car, on way to work
|Outside work, 1st coffee break
If you prefer to track electronically, try a free stop-smoking app, such as the National Cancer Institute's QuitPal. These apps allow you to track your progress and share your successes on social-networking sites. They also let your friends and family record inspiring video messages that you can play when you are having a hard time with cravings or stress.

AbstractThe DoD is facing significant challenges in training Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) crews. At the same time that the popularity of RPAs is increasing and the need for qualified crews is skyrocketing, airspace restrictions and limitations in simulators are making it increasingly difficult to offer effective training opportunities. To help the DoD meet these challenges, Sonalysts and our teammates are proposing to develop the REmotely Piloted Aircraft Synthetic Tutor (REPAST). REPAST is based on three innovative pillars. First, the event-based approach to training provides a theoretically rigorous and empirically validated instructional foundation. Second, interactions with members of the broader Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) community will be simulated by synthetic agents that use natural language processing to communicate with RPA crew members. Third, intelligent tutoring techniques are used to assess performance, provide feedback, and control task saturation, scenario difficulty, and curriculum progression.

You might take solace in the fact that when you die, your days of polluting the planet are over. But the truth is that the method you choose to dispose of your mortal remains has more of a deleterious impact on the environment than you might think.

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

If you want to eliminate suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.
Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation."

These words contain great wisdom. Plant them in your open and fertile mind and acknowledge them frequently. It is my hope that you reflect deeply on the simplicity and power of this wisdom. Put these principles into action and live them.

I believe – that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I believe – that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe – that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I believe – that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe – that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I believe – that you can keep going long after you can't.
I believe – that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I believe – that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I believe – that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I believe – that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe – that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

The MEGA Coach
From "The I Ching or Book of Changes" by Brian Browne Walker:
"Those who persevere make continuous progress.
Imagine a tree growing high on a mountaintop. If this tree grows too fast, without first properly rooting itself, it becomes susceptible to being torn up and destroyed by the winds. If, however, it establishes a proper foundation and is content to grow gradually, it will enjoy a long life and a lofty view.
Human beings are no different. While we often desire rapid progress – we want to change someone's mind today, obtain an apology now, achieve all our goals immediately – sooner or later we must come to understand that the only lasting progress is gradual progress. Accept this fact and base your thoughts, attitude and actions upon it.
When we have allowed ourselves to be pulled off balance by another or by some event, the ego tempts us to believe that we can influence the situation through forceful behavior. This is incorrect; the actions of the ego inevitably complicate our difficulties. The greatest influence possible always comes through the patient and steady refinement of one's inner self. If you will devote yourself to the path of the Sage (God), with every step along that path you will be strengthened and progress will come automatically. It will be gradual, but it will last.
Be patient, modest and accepting now. Life often demands we wait longer than we might like for some change and the only true comfort available during these times is the knowledge that we are steadfastly developing ourselves into superior people. In time, every honor comes to those who are persevering and correct."
Consistent action and growth create the most powerful transformation.

The National Incident Management System
(NIMS) provides a systematic, proactive approach to guide departments and agencies at all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to work seamlessly to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity, in order to reduce the loss of life and property and harm to the environment. The State of California adopted NIMS on February 8, 2005, by Executive Order
The NIMS reporting tool is a MS Excel based self-assessment instrument developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and designed for the emergency management community for State, territorial, tribal, local governments to evaluate and report their jurisdiction's achievement of all NIMS implementation activities released since 2004. The NIMS Data Collection Tool was developed to assist the nation's emergency management community to comply with the NIMS requirements, as determined by the National Integration Center (NIC). HSPD-5 requires Federal Departments and agencies to make adoption of the NIMS by State and local organizations a condition for Federal preparedness assistance.

Patient Comments: Interstitial Cystitis - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your experience with interstitial cystitis.
Comment from: Lyn, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 13
I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis with ulcers in my twenties. I am now 57. I was told I had the worst bladder they had seen. They suggested I go and have a bladder made. I refused that. I spent years with pain in pelvic area with 65 times a day in bathroom. I have tried every treatment offered. Amitriptyline 100 mg has been the only thing that has helped. I have been in remission for 4 years until this week. I went to my family physician and he said I had a urinary tract infection. I am going to urologist this week. I hope it is not back.
Comment from: Pain in Okla, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: June 09
When I was first diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC) I was 22. It took seeing many doctors and several misdiagnoses before the correct diagnosis was made. My urologist started me on Elmiron which was not successful for me. The next step was bladder distentions, unfortunately those helped for a small window of time. My urologist relocated and I went without treatment for years. Two years ago at the age of 39 I was introduced to a urologist who specialized in IC. My first treatment with him was steroids injected into my bladder upon the discovery of Hunner's ulcers. The injections worked wonders, unfortunately it was only a short term fix, lasting only 9 months. A year passed and I could no longer function with the continual urgency and frequency. My urination was up to 30 times during the day and 5 to 6 night time trips do the bathroom. My urology specialist told me about InterStim therapy. After a lot of research on my part and many discussions we decided that having this disease for 17 years was long enough and it was time for a serious intervention. I had the one week trial of the Medtronic Implants to see if it would be a success for me. I kept a diary for a week, of my urination, including the urgency and frequency levels. During my trial experiment we tried and discussed the option of having not just 1, but 2 InterStim devices permanently placed to help my urgency and frequency caused by my IC. Upon my return for my follow up to report my experience, my doctor reported the trial was a success and we were ready for the permanent placement of the Medtronic InterStim therapy. It's been 10 months now since the surgery and it hasn't cured my urgency and frequency, but it has changed the severity tenfold. I do experience IC flares every now and then, but thanks to modern medications and a great urologist I know what to do to get through them.
Comment from: Bitty71822, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 11
I am 51 years old and have been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis for 20 years now. It is awful. It is so painful, yet the doctors do not want to prescribe pain medicine. I don't know how much longer I can live with this condition. I don't smoke, drink alcohol, or have sex yet I still have flare ups. When I do, it is the worst pain I've had in my life. No doctor seems to understand it. I feel helpless.
Comment from: loco, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: March 05
I have had interstitial cystitis (IC) for half my life now, ever since a bladder infection diagnosed at age 31 (I'm 63 now). I think I've tried almost every treatment and nothing has helped. Sometimes my teeth are on edge so much from the pain I want to scream, even while I am in front of a class. (I'm a teacher, so screaming would be bad!) Lately, I am taking more and more Pyridium, up to 3 pills a day, and hot baths, and I have started taking Paxil again which I used to take as a headache deterrent but now I am hoping will help take the edge off and make me more psychologically stable. I have also started doing daily meditation. I once saw a physical therapist who taught me internal massage on the pressure points using a dilator; I'm thinking of trying that again.
Comment from: Tamsy, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: December 23
I have been taking Elmiron for interstitial cystitis (IC) for over 15 years and it has helped tremendously. Of course I have occasional flare-ups at which time I take Pyridium. It is thought that the IC is an autoimmune problem as I also have endometriosis, colitis and chronic sinus congestion. My main problem now is that the Elmiron causes high liver enzymes so my gastroenterologist wants me to stop the Elmiron. I don't see how I can do without it. Elmiron has a half-life of 20 to 25 hours which is not much, of course. If I stop it for several days, then my liver enzymes are normal. There should be a happy medium here.
Comment from: Tonya, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: December 16
I am 36 years old and was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC) in June of 2007. I had symptoms for years but was able to ignore them until about February of 2007 when I could barely work. My symptoms then are the same as they are today: fatigue, pain in pelvic area and low back, sometimes in my hips and down my legs, and tenderness when pressing on my bladder. I went to a primary care physician (PCP), had a urinalysis and he said it looked like I had 'a chronic urinary infection not acute' so he put me on an antibiotic. That didn't help so he gave me a longer regimen of the same antibiotic. That didn't help so he gave me a stronger antibiotic. No relief. He wanted to rule out kidney stone, appendicitis, etc. But I didn't have insurance at the time. The pain was so bad one day that I went to the emergency room (ER) and had several tests to rule out a kidney stone, any bacterial infections or STDs, appendicitis, and everything was negative. I had a history of endometriosis so I thought maybe it's that. I was of course at my wits' end and getting very depressed. I saw my gynecologist and he thought it was endometriosis as well, so he did a diagnostic laparotomy. All negative. After the surgery when I saw him in his office he gave me an IC questionnaire. He decided that's what I had. He put me on Elavil and Elmiron and did 2 bladder instillations in a week. The following week my house sold, I paid off a lot of debt, moved and took a great job, i.e., got rid a lot of stress! I didn't have any symptoms for about a year until I had several deaths in my family and a lot of stress again. I tried eliminating things from my diet but couldn't tell a difference. I've had numerous hydrodistentions and they eliminate the symptoms for a few months depending on my stress level. I'm almost certain that my flare ups are directly related to my stress level. I really hope my post helps someone. It is not easy to deal with.

Guide By: L0cke89
There are 12 achievements with a total of 200 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
[XBA would like to thank L0cke89 for this Roadmap]
|The End
|Complete the story.
After you've restored the Bastion completely, you'll have to choose whether you want to restore the old world or stay. Choose the first one to restore the old world. This will only net you this achievement. You won't get The Beginning (Stay and embrace the new world). But since you need a second playthrough for Calamity Kid (Beating New Game +), just pick one choice the first time and the other one the second time around.
|The Stranger
|Complete the Wharf District.
Story related and cannot be missed.
|Pet Sitter
|Get four different domesticated creatures in the Bastion.
You need four mementos to get the pets. Those can be found in the areas or bought from Lost & Found later. It doesn't matter. When you get the memento, just go to the people and talk to them about it. Since you also need the other mementos for a Vigil, just buy all of them (or find). They doesn't cost much. Easy as that.
|Complete at least 50 percent of the Vigils in the Memorial.
Refer to Altruist for more information.
|Complete 100 percent of the Vigils in the Memorial.
Before you can do any of these, you have to get the memorial. When you get your fourth shard, you can build it on the right side of the bastion. At first, you'll only have 12 Vigils. After you upgrade the memorial and get all 11 weapons, you will have 23 Vigils that you have to complete. Some may seem daunting at first but are all really easy. Only the one for getting first place in seven challenges can be a little tricky.
|Calamity Kid
|Complete the story in New Game Plus.
Just finish the story and you will unlock New Game +. Choose it at the start screen and just run through the game once again. If you have all the other non story related achievements, you can finish it in about 90 minutes. Don't try to kill enemies unless you really want to and only fight when you have to defeat someone for the level to progress.
|Mind Voyager
|Complete each trip to Who Knows Where.
There are three arenas that you'll unlock while playing through the game. Two of them are mementos that you'll have to find or buy from the Lost & Found, if you didn't get them in the area. The last one will be unlocked as part of the story. They are all on the south side of the bastion. Just press when next to them and fight you're way through the 20 waves.
|Use the Forge to apply at least one upgrade to every weapon.
Right before the last area in the game, you'll get the last weapon. All you need now is one of five upgrades for each of them. You can find these anywhere and it would be hard not to get one of each, if you also do the weapon challenges. But if you miss all five for one of them, they can also be bought from Lost & Found.
Secret Achievements
|The Ura
|Stop the siege on the Bastion.
Story related and cannot be missed.
|The Beginning
|Complete the story, embracing the New World.
After you've restored the bastion completely, you'll have to choose whether you want to restore the old world or stay. Choose the latter one to embrace the New World. This will only net you this achievement. You won't get The End (Using the bastion to restore the old world). But since you need a second playthrough for Calamity Kid (Beating New Game +), just pick one choice the first time and the other one the second time around.
|The Survivor
|Complete the Hanging Gardens and speak with the Survivor in the Bastion.
Mostly story related.
|The Singer
|Complete Prosper Bluff and speak with the Singer in the Bastion.

Canadian Dollar Declines From 8-Week High on Boehner
Canada's dollar weakened from an eight-week high against its U.S. peer after U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said President Barack Obama was willing to let the economy go over the so-called fiscal cliff and into recession.
The Canadian currency declined for the first time in eight days as the nation's household debt ratio rose to a record high compared with disposable income in the third quarter. The currency gained earlier as unemployment claims in the U.S., Canada's largest trading partner, fell to a nine-week low and retail sales rose.
"Boehner's negative comments today are working against the Canadian dollar and risk sentiment more generally," Mazen Issa, Canada macro strategist at Toronto-Dominion Bank's TD Securities, said by phone from Toronto. "It's really shifting our focus back to the immediate issue at hand, which is the fiscal cliff."
The Canadian dollar, known as the loonie for the image of the aquatic bird on the C$1 coin, fell 0.1 percent to 98.49 cents per U.S. dollar at 5 p.m. in Toronto after touching 98.25, the strongest since Oct. 18. The seven-day streak of gains was the longest for the loonie since the nine days ended Jan. 3, 2011. One Canadian dollar buys $1.0153.
Canada's government bonds fell, with yields on the benchmark 10-year security rising four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 1.80 percent. The 2.75 percent security due in June 2022 declined 37 cents to C$108.26.
Crude oil, Canada's biggest export, fell 1 percent to $85.89 a barrel in New York, and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index of stocks dropped 0.6 percent.
'Not Serious'
Boehner, an Ohio Republican, repeated his insistence that Obama's budget proposal is "anything but" balanced and accused the president of being "not serious" about cutting spending.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, said today that talk of deeper spending cuts demanded by Republicans should await discussions on a tax overhaul next year.
Lawmakers are trying to avert more than $600 billion in tax increases and federal spending cuts scheduled to take effect in January 2013 that threatens to drag the U.S. economy over a fiscal cliff.
"They're going to be going over the fiscal cliff -- it's almost a certainty," Aaron Fennell, a futures specialist at Bank of Nova Scotia's ScotiaMcLeod unit, said by phone from Toronto. "The strategy the Democrats are using is that they're going to cause the Bush tax cuts to expire and then feed the tax cuts back to the Republicans in exchange for spending concessions."
Consumer Credit
Applications for jobless benefits in the U.S. fell by 29,000 to 343,000 in the week ended Dec. 8, the fewest since reaching a four-year low in the period ended Oct. 6, Labor Department figures showed today. The U.S. also posted a 0.3 percent rise in retail sales in November as car sales reached a four-year high.
The currency pared earlier gains as Canadians defied Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney's warnings that consumer credit was the biggest threat to the country's economy. The ratio of credit-market debt such as mortgages rose to 164.6 percent from a 163.3 percent in the prior three-month period, Statistics Canada said in Ottawa.
Home Prices
The nation's new-home price index rose for a 19th consecutive month in October, led by gains in Toronto and Montreal, according to a separate report. The 0.2 percent gain in new-home prices matched the previous two readings and the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey with 10 responses. From a year earlier, new-home prices increased 2.4 percent in October.
The currency gained yesterday after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced it would add $45 billion in additional asset purchases a month to spur the economy, a move that could debase the currency.
"With the Fed yesterday, that should be small Canadian-dollar positive," David Bradley, director of foreign-exchange trading at Scotia Capital Inc., a unit of Bank of Nova Scotia, said by phone from Toronto. "I think the Canadian dollar is going to gradually drift stronger as we head into the end of the year."
Canada's currency has gained 1.2 percent this year versus nine developed-nation peers tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The greenback has dropped 2.8 percent and the yen has been the biggest loser, tumbling 11 percent. New Zealand's dollar leads gainers, up 6.4 percent.
