Heart failure occurs when the heart fails to pump blood around the body and organs for oxygen and nutrients. As blood moves through the heart and body at a slower rate, pressure in the heart increases. The chambers of the heart stretch to hold more blood to be able to pump through the body. This helps the blood to move but eventually the heart muscle walls weaken, unable to pump blood efficiently. The kidneys, in response cause the body, to retain fluids. The leakage of fluid in the tissues and the organs congests the heart, leading to heart failure.
Any of the following conditions can be responsible for weakening the heart and causing heart failure.
1. Coronary artery disease: this is a disease of the arteries supplying blood and oxygen to the heart that causes decreased blood flow to heart muscle. If the arteries get blocked or narrowed (due to the buildup of fatty deposits), the heart fails to get oxygen and nutrients, which may eventually lead to heart failure.
2. Heart attack: if the artery becomes suddenly blocked or the plaques formed by fatty deposits rupture, it can lead to a heart attack. This happens due to the formation of a blood clot which may block blood flow to an area of heart muscle.
3. High blood pressure: high blood pressure puts an extra strain on the heart for it to work harder to circulate blood throughout the body. As a result, the heart muscle may become stiff or weak to effectively pump blood.
4. Heart muscle weakness: this condition can have many causes including diseases, infections, drug and alcohol abuse. Genetic factors may also contribute to the weakening of heart muscles.
5. Other diseases: chronic diseases like diabetes, HIV, hyperthyroidism or a buildup of iron or protein can also lead to heart failure.

What is the right quantity and correct form of including cashew nuts in the diet of a person with history of cholesterol/ hypertensive?
Heart attack or myocardial infarction mostly occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked due to one or more reasons. The most prominent reason could be high fat or cholesterol that results in plaque build up in the coronary artery. The restricted blood flow has the potential to damage or even destroy the heart muscle. Some of the symptoms that can be helpful when it comes to the identification of a heart attack are listed below.
1. Discomfort in the Chest - Your chest may feel tight and pressured when you are about to be hit by a heart attack. Pain or discomfort in the chest is usually central typically felt behind the sternum, the central bone of chest. It may not be pain, it may be only discomfort, it may only be in upper part of tummy, very commonly confused with a gas problem. It is often accompanied by a painful sensation in the chest or arms. If a chest pain lasts more than 15-20 min it can be assumed to be a heart attack. This aching sensation may even spread to your back, neck or jaw.
2. Feeling of inconvenience - Often before the heart attack, the person may have feelings of nausea, ingestion, abdominal pain or a heartburn.
3. Breathing problems - Another prominent symptom of heart attack is shortness of breath which is accompanied by cold sweat and fatigue.
Emergency Measure:
If you think you are getting a heart attack, you should immediately take one tablet of Aspirin (preferably chew aspirin if possible), 4 tablets of a drug called Clopidogrel, and one tablet of Atorvastatin 80 mg and rush to the nearest possible medical facility as time is very important in the treatment of an acute heart attack. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Cardiologist.
In Ayurveda, the heart or Hridaya is most vital since it is the organ that is responsible for enabling proper circulation of blood all over the body while governing your emotions so as to keep you fit and energetic. When it comes to the development of heart ailments, a highly stressful lifestyle, and poor eating habits are considered to be the main culprits of heart diseases or Hrudroga. As a consequence, these causes bring about the hardening of the arteries, leading to problems like angina (ruja) and angio-obstruction (vata dosa). Factors like high blood pressure, heredity, diabetes, smoking and high cholesterol make you predispose to developing problems of the heart.
How does Ayurveda help?
Ayurveda offers safe and innovative preparations for the handling of heart diseases. Plants like garlic, Arjuna, cinnamon and their preparations are used for treating heart ailments. Depending on individual cases, certain very effective natural preparations are recommended by a practitioner of Ayurveda along with lifestyle changes like:
1. Getting rid of stress - When it comes to the heart, Ayurveda propounds a holistic approach in the treatment of this organ, which encompasses both physical and emotional considerations. Herbal formulations that contain ingredient like Ashwagandha are known to reduce tension in the mind as well as the body while strengthening the heart muscle.
2. Eating right - Developing the habit of correct eating is vital for improving heart health. According to Ayurveda, the ideal food portion should be one that fits into the cups of your palms. Having meals three times a day at fixed timings can help in training your digestive system to not only anticipate but also digest the food consumed. For stimulating a slow digestion salt, ginger and lime can be consumed.
3. Removing Ama (arterial plaque) from your body - For enabling a proper functioning of the heart regular cleaning of the internals is recommended as per Ayurvedic teaching so as to flush out the arterial plaque that gets accumulated in your blood vessel. From eating a high fiber diet and drinking lukewarm water to going to sleep by 10pm, Ayurvedic treatment of the heart consists of these recommendations.
4. Exercising regularly - The key to a good heart health is exercising regularly but in moderation. In this context, Ayurveda believes in the concept of Balaardh, which is exercising to about 50% of your capacity. This reduces instances of strains and injuries received due to exercising. Walking for about half an hour every day is considered to be a great metabolism booster as well and it brings about an improvement of the heart. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an Ayurveda.

The most common reason to succumb to death in case of males is a sudden cardiac arrest. Though females also get affected, but the main victims are males over the age of 40. Reasons for the cardiac arrest are many, and the top one is a prevalent heart disease caused by several factors. Factors include high blood pressure, smoking, alcohol, stress, depression, work life imbalance, anxiety, high cholesterol, obesity, hereditary traits, etc.
If you also fall in the same age group or are nearing it, then you must get conscious right now that you don't fall prey to a sudden cardiac arrest. If you get one, chances of survival depend on how soon you get a treatment and the potential in the body to receive treatment. However, prevention is always better than cure, and here are some measures that you can follow to prevent a cardiac arrest.
How to prevent getting a sudden cardiac arrest?
Prevention of a cardiac arrest starts right from the alteration of lifestyle. Diet and stress need to be monitored, and regular health checkups give you the confidence to stay better. Try following the steps below:
Quit smoking totally as it really kills. The carbon particles block the filters in the lungs gradually and permanently, and limit the lungs' capacities to inhale and filter and absorb oxygen.
If you drink, then do it socially and rarely. Long term alcohol consumption increases obesity and fat, and is another blood diluting agent. However, a low consumption helps by melting some LDL cholesterol and fat too.
Exercise everyday. You need not do a strength training essentially. Simple, brisk walking, free hand exercising, etc. will do, but the body must get a warm up everyday.
Go for a regular heart checkup in intervals of 6 months or 1 year. This will tell you the condition, the cholesterol deposition, the blood pressure and the overall blood circulation.
Avoid junk and oily food, and things that build up cholesterol and fat in the body.
When you have just experienced a cardiac arrest-
When you have just experienced a cardiac arrest, you should seek help from a family member using the CPR technique, or a defibrillator. In both cases, the know-how to use the techniques and instruments is a must. Hence, if you know that you have a coronary heart disease and are prone to a sudden cardiac arrest, you must train a member in the family to use these immediate treatments, while they call the doctor.

A stroke may be called a brain attack. It may happen to any person at any time. A stroke occurs when there is a vascular event in the brain causing a blockage of blood vessels or a rupture of vessels causing hemorrhage. The brain cells are starved of food and oxygen or are assaulted by a barrage of harmful agents released as a result of hemorrhage, suffering reversible or irreversible damage. Dead or disabled brain cells result in brain dysfunction due to which patients may lose control over parts of the body or lose the capacity to speak, think or remember.
Strokes can be mild to severe and require immediate medical attention. Stroke requires advanced care and a stroke patient is ideally treated by a multidisciplinary team of experts. At various stages of treatment, the attention of doctors specializing in Neurology, Neurosurgery, Critical Care, Medicine, Radiology and Physical Medicine may be required. Besides, good nursing care and physiotherapy are essential for better recovery from stroke.
Types of Stroke-
- Ischemic Stroke: This kind of stroke occurs when there is a blockage in a blood vessel, which supplies blood to the brain. The commonly seen underlying causes are atherosclerosis (which is a condition where fatty deposits occur in the walls of the blood vessels) or embolism (blood clot formed elsewhere reaches the brain circulation and blocks a smaller blood vessel). Other rarer causes of ischemic stroke are trauma, hypotension, vasospasm, etc..
- Hemorrhagic Stroke: This type of stroke occurs when a blood vessel ruptures into the brain. This can be caused by high blood pressure, weakened vessel wall due to atherosclerosis, or vascular malformations like aneurysms, AVM, or cavernomas.
- Transient Ischemic Attack: This type of stroke is also known as a mini-stroke. The blockage caused is temporary or transient in nature, and may happen repeatedly.
Treatment of Stroke:
A. General Treatment: Most cases require supportive management to prevent the secondary complications of stroke, so that the patient gets adequate time for the brain tissue to recover functions. Medicines are administered to control brain pressure, prevent convulsions and aid brain tissue recovery. Paralysis of muscles, difficulty in eating, drinking, breathing, controlling urine etc. make the patient highly dependent. Physiotherapy is essential for good recovery of impaired functions. It is essential for family and friends to encourage the patient and involve themselves in supportive care to prevent depression from setting in and for robust rehabilitation.
B. Specific Treatment of Ischemic Stroke
- Tissue Plasminogen Activator: This is one of the best ways to treat ischemic strokes presenting early. This medicine is given to the patient intravenously. It dissolves the blood clot and improves blood flow to the area of the brain which is affected. The medicine should be given within three to four hours after stroke symptoms appear.
- Endovascular procedure: This is again useful only if the patient reaches early. This is a process by which the blood clot is removed using a catheter, which gets inserted into the area of the blocked blood vessel. It helps in restoring blood flow to that area.
- Decompressive craniectomy: Large ischemic strokes cause a rise of brain pressure which may cause death. To reduce brain pressure, decompressive craniectomy surgery may be required if medicines alone are not effective.
In this, a large part of the skull on one side or in the front may be removed to allow space for a swelling brain and relieve intracranial pressure.
C. Specific Treatment of Hemorrhagic stroke
- Surgical treatment: Different modes of neurosurgery may be undertaken to remove blood clots, repair vascular malformations and for relieving pressure within the skull. The need for surgery depends on the cause, location and volume of hemorrhage besides other factors. It is an important decision, and the family needs to consult with the neurosurgeon and understand the implications thoroughly before agreeing or disagreeing for treatment.
- Endovascular coiling or embolisation: Act as standalone treatment or as an additional aid to surgery especially in vascular malformations like aneurysms or AVMs.

Search Continues for Cache County Couple in Logan Canyon
The Cache County Search and Rescue team was continuing to look for a Smithfield couple, late Thursday morning, after they had been reported missing, Wednesday night.
Lt. Brian Locke with the Cache County Sheriff's Office, says a boy, 16, contacted authorties shortly before 11 p.m. Wednesday, saying his father and stepmother were supposed to have returned home nearly ten hours earlier.
Officers believe Chad and Lynn Hansen were hiking in the Tony Grove area of Logan Canyon. They reportedly had their three dogs with them, as well.
Searchers looked for the couple until 2:30 a.m. Thursday. The search was called off at that point...but resumed about 7 a.m.

Older Drivers: Don't Get<br>Caught in the Dark
AARP offers tips for safely driving at night.
Even on familiar roads, motorists should use caution and watch for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, who will be less visible when night begins to fall. AARP urges all drivers to consider the link between night visibility and safe driving.
If you have trouble seeing well at night, get your vision checked, and consider taking a driver safety course to learn how to compensate in dark conditions.
Follow these tips to reduce your risk of driving accidents at night:
- See and be seen. Get your headlights checked, and while driving, turn them on one hour before sunset and keep them on one hour after sunrise to ensure maximum visibility.
- Stay alert on the road. With reduced visibility, it's important to lower your speed, pay extra attention, and maintain a three-second following distance.
- Recognize and prevent drowsiness. Darkness can cause drowsiness, so run errands in the morning when you are fresher and more alert.
- Avoid sun glare. You may need to adjust to early morning or late afternoon sun glare, which can cause reflections off car windows and hoods and decrease your visibility.
For more helpful information and coaching, visit the AARP Driver Safety Program online. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, the program has given its refresher courses to more than 12 million people nationwide. The no-test courses update drivers' skills and knowledge of relevant laws, and the training includes strategies to help motorists compensate for age-related changes that affect driving ability.
Driver safety courses also include a section on assessing driving abilities. The results of such an assessment may be the occasion for having an honest talk with yourself or a loved on about the wisdom of continuing to drive. Consider your own safety and that of other drivers and pedestrians.
Depending on insurance providers and state regulations, graduates of the AARP Driver Safety Program courses (both the classroom and online versions) may be eligible to receive discounts on their auto-insurance premiums. All participants should check with their insurers for further details.
For information on local courses, please call, toll-free, 888-227-7669, or visit us at www.aarp.org/drive. For more information about AARP's online course, please visit www.aarp.org/drive/online.

Freud's Last Session
The setup for Freud's Last Session—an imaginary meeting between the granddaddy of psychoanalysis and budding fantasy writer C.S. Lewis in which they argue about the existence of God—is a bit artificial, but the work itself feels refreshingly authentic. The play is set in London in 1939, just days after Hitler's invasion of Poland and weeks before Freud's death from a deliberate morphine overdose, giving playwright St. Germain no shortage of high stakes in which to ground this most elusive and familiar of debates: faith versus reason. Predictably, Freud is the hardened realist who bases his beliefs on science, while Lewis is the awestruck Christian convert who follows his heart.
This production from Barrington Stage Company is nothing if not thorough: both St. Germain's script and Brian Prather's set, a re-creation of Freud's study in which the proverbial couch looms large, have been meticulously researched and thoughtfully assembled. Rayner and Dold manage humanizing portrayals that avoid slipping into clich; there are as few false notes in their emotional vicissitudes as in their accents. Rayner's evident anguish from a painful oral prosthetic (Freud was in the final throes of mouth cancer when he died) garners palpable sympathy from the audience. Although the lives and ideas of the two men are necessarily compressed and oversimplified, it is pleasant to spend an hour in their company under the willful delusion that you are a fly on the wall.

Tornados drop to Eagles, 3-0November 5, 2010
Stevenson records double-double in loss to Carson-Newman
Brevard, N.C. - Seven Tornados recorded kills in Friday evening's match against Carson-Newman College, but the Eagles used a pair of 17 kill performances by Nikki James and Carly Mozgai as Brevard fell in SAC action, 27-25, 25-17, 25-20.
Ashley Morrison led Brevard (3-24, 0-17 SAC) with seven kills in the match, while Erin Rollins had six and Bethany Stevenson had five, leading the team by hitting 45.5 percent in the match. Stevenson finished the match with a double-double, recording a team-high 22 set assists, while leading the team with 14 digs. Jordei Osby led the team at the net with three total blocks in the match, while Rebecca Schoonover finished the match with 13 digs.
James and Mozgai led Carson-Newman (17-9, 9-8 SAC) with 17 kills apiece as the Eagles hit 20.8 percent for the match as a team. Lara McDonald led the team with a game high 41 set assists, while Angelle Hayes led the team with a game-high 17 digs. James also led the team at the net with five total blocks in the match.
Carson-Newman opened up the first set up 11-5, following a kill by Mozgai, but the Tornados rallied back, recording 10 of the next 14 points, including five in a row to tie up the match at 15 following a pair of Rollins' service aces. The teams split the next 20 points, as Osby and Stevenson recorded a block to send the match to 25-25. The Eagles closed out the set as Mozgai recorded a kill and Swisher recorded a solo block to put Carson-Newman up 1-0.
A trio of attack errors tied the second set up at 14 apiece, but the Eagles recovered to record 11 of the next 14 points as James closed out the set, 25-17 to put Carson-Newman up 2-0.
In the third and final set, the Eagles held a 17-12 lead late in the set, but the Tornados brought it back to within one at 20-19, reeling off seven of the next nine points on Stevenson's serve, but the Tornados were unable to tie up the set, falling 25-20.
Brevard continues the SAC schedule at home, as they close out conference play tomorrow afternoon in Boshamer Gymnasium against Lincoln Memorial. First serve between the Tornados and the Railsplitters is set for noon.

Based on incomplete visitor logs, Brooks falsely claimed Abramoff visited White House "twice"
Research ››› ››› JOE BROWN
New York Times columnist David Brooks claimed that Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff visited the White House only "twice, in 2001 and 2004," citing recently released Secret Service visitor logs. But as Media Matters for America previously noted, the White House has acknowledged several Abramoff visits not mentioned in the logs, and the White House and the Secret Service have both admitted that the records released "would not present a complete picture of Abramoff's" visits.
During the Public Broadcasting Service's live coverage of the Senate hearing on the nomination of Gen. Michael V. Hayden for CIA director, New York Times columnist David Brooks claimed that disgraced Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff visited the White House "twice, in 2001 and 2004," citing recently released Secret Service visitor logs. But as Media Matters for America previously noted, the White House has acknowledged several Abramoff visits not mentioned in the logs, and the White House and the Secret Service have both admitted that the records released "would not present a complete picture of Abramoff's" visits.
On May 10, the Secret Service released the computerized records in response to a lawsuit filed by the conservative group Judicial Watch.
As the Associated Press reported on May 10, the visits noted in the released Secret Service logs "occurred on Jan. 20, 2004, the day President Bush delivered his State of the Union address, and on March 6, 2001." As the AP further noted, "[then-]Presidential spokesman Scott McClellan has said that Abramoff attended Hanukkah receptions at the White House in 2001 and 2002, and some additional staff-level meetings." Neither of the Hanukkah receptions was mentioned in the released records.
On February 12, The New York Times published a photograph -- taken May 9, 2001 -- showing "Abramoff looking on from the background as Mr. Bush greets" Chief Raul Garza of the Kickapoo American Indian tribe of southwest Texas at the Eisenhower [Old] Executive Office Building "on the White House grounds." This meeting also did not appear in the released records.
In its May 10 article, the AP noted that Secret Service spokesman Tom Mazur "said the computerized logs have never been considered a complete record of access to the White House and the Old Executive Office Building." Additionally, during his May 2 press gaggle, McClellan cautioned reporters not to interpret the logs as "a complete historical record" of Abramoff's White House visits.
The New York Times further reported on May 11 that two anonymous administration officials "said the White House had decided that the settlement of the [Judicial Watch] lawsuit did not require other, more complete visitor logs to be made public." According to the Times, these same officials "said the more complete logs ... would have identified the other visits by Mr. Abramoff."
Moreover, according to a Judicial Watch statement, the logs released by the Secret Service "appear to be incomplete," containing only the date of each visit, and the times Abramoff entered and exited the White House. According to the statement:
White House Secret Service logs previously obtained by Judicial Watch from the Clinton administration provided additional details such as the "Visitee" and "Room Number," along with the name of the person who requested the visit. The Secret Service had agreed to provide the documents without redaction. Moreover, the two documents provided are not consistent with each other in terms of format and content.
Brooks made his false claim in response to a question by PBS anchor Jim Lehrer, who asked him if the Bush administration's agreement to brief the full House and Senate Intelligence Committees on the National Security Agency's warrantless domestic spying activities, in preparation for the Hayden hearing, would end the previous practice of limited briefings only to the Democratic and Republican leaders of the House and Senate, and to the chairs and ranking members of each legislative body's Intelligence Committee. Arguing that "there's a genetic predisposition in the executive branch not to spread information," Brooks said that the White House was hurt more by its refusal to release the Secret Service visitor records than it was by ultimately releasing them, because they show that Abramoff "was there twice."
From PBS' live coverage of the Hayden nomination hearing:
LEHRER: Has the idea of just briefing the leadership, meaning two, and the leadership of the committee, meaning four -- and that means eight in the two bodies of the Congress -- has that also disappeared as well, as a result of all of this?
BROOKS: Well, the long-range attention is still there --
LEHRER: Yeah.
BROOKS: -- because the executive branch will always want to brief the fewest possible because they're afraid of leaks. And then they want to --
LEHRER: Do you think this is going to remove that now?
BROOKS: In the short term, yes. I mean, in the short term, but --
LEHRER: But if there's another NSA thing we don't know about, the whole committees of both houses are going to get briefed about it, right?
BROOKS: You would think so, but there's just a genetic disposition in the executive branch not to spread information -- and especially in this White House. I was thinking back, now that they've briefed the whole committee and defused some of the atmosphere -- I was thinking back, of all the times over the last five, six years where they withheld information and then finally released it, has there ever been once where the release actually was worse than the withholding? And almost always the release defuses things. I mean, there's just this case last week -- this is sort of tangentially related -- where the visitor logs -- how many times did Jack Abramoff visit the White House? The White House was holding onto this information, holding on -- people were making wild charges he was there hundreds of times. He was there twice, in 2001 and 2004, but still they don't release it.

Scientists have secured their first look at the birth of monstrous stars that shine 100 000 times more brightly than the Sun, thanks to ESA's Infrared Space Observatory (ISO).
The discovery allows astronomers to begin investigating why only some regions of space promote the growth of these massive stars.
Space is littered with giant clouds of gas. Occasionally, regions within these clouds collapse to form stars. "One of the major questions in the field of study is why do some clouds produce high- and low-mass stars, whilst others form only low-mass stars?" asks Oliver Krause, Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie, Heidelberg and Steward Observatory, Arizona.

haha I wasnt as motived durning the last challenge, Ive already ran more this year than I did last so its a good start I figured this would be a decent motivator for people(as well as myself) it'd be cool if there was some kind of badge
Count me in!! I was running for team ThemeForest in that other challenge until my iPod broke and winter reared her ugly head. But I'm BACK !
Signed, sealed, and motivated!
I've signed up! Looking forward to some inter-marketplace competition. Go team Forest!
If is looking for a decent app to monitor calories this is a pretty awesome app http://www.mynetdiary.com/ they have it for all decides Ive only used the pro one on the iPhone but you can scan barcodes, it has a lot of fast food stuff etc
I might join in as I'm planning on doing the Race For Life this year and will need to train for it.
Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday I am running 13-15 km. (started with 2 km.) and having a fitness workout every Monday, Wednesday and Friday since 01.01.2012
I was 113 kg. when I started and lost 14 kilos for those two and a half months. So, yes, I'll sign up for sure!
Ooops… Actually it looks like I can't sign up. It doesn't accept my zip code as it is bulgarian zip code. Stupid marketing strategy, don't you think. I am tired of halfway marketing campaigns.

Best Therapeutic Shoulder Wrap.
By DJ
from Chico, Ca
My husband uses it every day. He likes that it not only cools his shoulder, but also cools his back,chest,neck and arm at the same time. Creating a FULL cool down. Not just one area like other ice packs. Drawback is, that he has to wear a tshirt underneath because it's SO COLD. Is that really a drawback???

By curly shirl

This hot/cold pain relieving wrap is the best I've found. It conforms very comfortably and fits perfectly around the shoulder, delivering heat or cold directly to every inch of the area it covers. The fabric is soft and the weight, very comfortable. It stays in place!

Well Made, good help
By Lalie
from New Orleans, LA
I ordered this for my sister who tore her rotator cuff. Unfortunately, I was not sure of size, but I had read some woman's review that it was hard to put on, so altho I felt my sister was probably closer to a Large, I ordered XL, thinking it might make it easier to put on. She lives out of town, so I have not seen it, but she told me it ran very large, and she thought a snugger fit would give better pain relief. I urged her to return it for exchange for a L, but she said she just would keep it. She says it is a well made product and will help her. She said it folds up easily to go in the freezer for chilling.

Miss Jewett was speaking in her brisk, working voice; the troubled face had become alight.
"Mrs. Stillman and I will go over to ward seven," said Mrs. Jewett.
Many times Miss Jewett has been compared with Hawthorne,234 and undoubtedly there is basis for comparison.
Miss Jewett's style is less epigrammatic, but just as full of humor.
When young Jewett returned to the town he was himself again.
His opinion was accepted by Webster, Jewett, Edgar, and others.
One smiles as one reads the delicate sketches of Miss Jewett.

Hi guys,
is there a tool or script that checks if a determined server is vulnerable??
Vulnerability Description
i know that are some webpages that claims to do the check, like
xxx.dnsstuff.com/, xxx.doxpara.com/ and hxxp://entropy.dns-oarc.net/test/
But the servers that i need to check (and patch if necesary) have no access to internet (blocked by ACL) and only respond to ssh (for admin) and udp 53 (dns). So i cannot check on this servers using a web page.
So, am searching for a tool that i can execute in the same vlan where the servers are (lan acces to the servers) for have a trustworthie result.
the plataform could be linux or win, there is no problem with that.
Something like sh dnscheck -i eth1 10.10.10.1-50 -o Report.txt
More info here: http://blog.metasploit.com/2008/07/bailiwicked.html
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
Excelent!! Thank you wyze!!! am reading the blog right now!!!!
Tomorrow at first light i will be checking those servers!!!
You can also check it deom Dan Kaminsky's site. That is if the server you want to check is accepting requests from the outside and you just want a quick and easy answer.
url not posted because of my limited message history.
Thanks caturix, but as i said before the servers have no access to internet (blocked by ACL), so i cannot use any webpage to check them, but thanks anyway men!
heh. I must have been drunk when I responded. I don't remember reading (or in this case) misreading your post.

Tips for your Birth Partner
Being a birth partner is an awesome privilege and many birth-partners-to-be want to know what they can do to best support their partner, wife or friend in labour.
Here are some of the ways women have shared on this forum that their birth support partner helped them.
- Simply physically being present. Many women talk about how helpful it was just to know that their birth partner was there in labour. You don't have to say anything or do anything (indeed, some women do not want to be spoken to or touched during the labour) but when the birthing woman's eyes meet yours; be there for her. As Mother Teresa once said 'Let there be a kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile....Don't only give your care, but give your heart as well.'
- Spend lots of time in the later stages of pregnancy understanding the pregnant woman's birthing hopes and also what she would not want to happen. Talk in detail about how she would like to birth in the ideal situation and also discuss what she would want to happen if the labour took an unexpected route. You can be the birthing woman's advocate in labour. When she does not feel like talking you can clearly communicate her wishes to the midwives and doctors.
- Arm yourself with knowledge. Read up on birthing. Attend hypnobirthing classes together or other antenatal classes. Read positive birth stories. Talk about birth with the woman you will be supporting. Research and then research some more. The more knowledgeable you are the better you will be able to support the wishes of the birthing woman in labour and the more likely it is to be a positive birth experience.
- Be practically helpful. Respond to what the birthing woman is communicating to you; both verbally and non-verbally. For example, if she is covering her eyes during the contractions then dim the lights or provide a cover for her to put her head under (many woman need a private space in birth in order to 'go within themselves' and relax their body when a contraction comes). Make sure she has drinking water within easy reach and the background music or affirmations playing that she wants. Keep outside distractions to a minimum. Quietly close doors. Keep a check on the temperature of the birthing pool water as well as the room temperature. These little things can make a world of difference in labour.
We wish all of our pregnant forum members, and their birth support partners, positive birth experiences.
Please do share any useful experiences you have for birth partners here too.

Report: Casey Kasem Body Flown To Montreal
Listen to Classic American Top 40 Radio on iHeartRadio
New information tracking the whereabouts of Casey Kasem's remains suggest the radio icon's body may be in Montreal. According to the Canadian Press, a death certificate filed in Washington State court last Tuesday listed the Canadian funeral home Urgel Bourgie as the place where Kasem's remains were sent on July 14th. The funeral home, however, says it has no record of Kasem's remains being at the facility but the Funeral Service Association of Canada also says it generally doesn't release such information, citing Canada's Privacy Act.
The President of the Washington State funeral home where Kasem's remains were housed prior tells the Canadian Press he personally made sure the body was put on the flight to Montreal last Monday. Corey Gaffney also disputes reports suggesting that Kasem's body is missing, saying he confirmed it arrived in Montreal. The "American Top 40" DJ passed away on June 15th after a long illness and bitter family feud over his care.

An interview from a few days back with CW's featherweight champ Jim Alers about his first title defence in a couple of weeks, but he also talks about Dana White's new best mate Conor McGregor and still after settling that score.
Rest of the article has him talking about winning the belt and then what he thinks about the fight in Cardiff coming up.When asked about potential future matchups hed like Alers still has his sights set on a certain Notorious Irishman that once held the same belt, and is currently taking the UFC by storm. I think everyone knows that I would love to put everyones thoughts to rest and beat Conor McGregor. I know that I have what it takes to take him down and submit him
If he wins this fight does anyone think UFC might pick him up, think he's 10-1 atm with all 10 wins by stoppage. Even though he's got a past with McGregor UFC would probably ignore that I'd think. Opinions ?

Jagdesh Shamdasani is full time academic staff at Republic Polytechnic's School for Technology for the Arts. He chairs the module "Interactive Entertainment," part of the Diploma for New Media. Before teaching, he was a project manager and a creative professional, for various studios and companies, art directing, designing, and executing a wide range of interactive projects. He worked with a range of visual communication media to produce content including web, interactive, animation, illustration, print, and brand building.
Republic Polytechnic, commonly abbreviated to RP represents a paradigm shift in Singapore's educational system with a key focus on Problem Based Learning (PBL), in which active research and analysis are encouraged instead of traditional formal pedagogy. Problem-based learning (PBL) uses problems as triggers for learning and invokes thinking and analytical skills in students that vary entirely from the traditional spoon feeding method. PBL requires students to deal with real-life scenarios, diagnose problems, conduct research, and finally propose a solution that relates to an actual workspace environment.
The Diploma in New Media (DNM) part of the School for Technology for the Arts, introduces students to all facets of new media. It encompasses design, production, and interactivity. The program prepares students for a career in the current world of new media, and also equips them with skills necessary to adapt and thrive as the field evolves.

The economy added 114,000 jobs in September and unemployment declined to 7.8 percent. Not great numbers, but paired with major upward revisions to previous monthly reports and taken in the context of a slowly recovering economy, the report was viewed as good news for America.

BIONAnocomposite Tissue Engineering Scaffolds (BIONATES)
The promise of tissue engineering stretches the limits of our imagination.
Biotechnology in general, and stem cell research in particular, has made great strides in spurring the growth (and re-growth) of specific human cell types. But cells alone cannot replace human tissue. Cells need scaffolds to serve as structural guides while growing into useful tissues or life-saving drug delivery systems.
Cell-scale scaffolds share similarities with building-scale scaffolds used in construction projects. Viable scaffolds allow for the mass transport of oxygen and nutrients. These scaffolds can direct the growth of cells migrating from nearby tissue or provide a foothold for new tissue growth. This directed growth could be used to replace destroyed nerves or heal fractured bones, damaged blood vessels or parts of diseased organs.
The BIONATES theme was assembled to lay the research foundation for these transformative scaffolding technologies. Ultimately, the group's work aims to heal damaged tissues with remarkable speed and minimal complications. The theme is composed of four core laboratories, as well several affiliate researchers from various disciplines and institutions.
By working at the intersection of biotechnology and nanotechnology, the BIONATES team is building a library of scaffolding materials and cost-effective, mass-production methods that will work for a variety of cell types used in a wide range of in-body applications.

There's loads but a some stick in my mind;
1) About a year ago I knocked back a little Irish lad for being too pissed and he proceeded to go off on one so I politely escorted him out of the queue and further down the street where there were less people (thus quieter) to explain why he couldnt come in as he wasnt having it when I was explaining at the door.
He proceeded to hurl a few racist jibes and threatened to have me "blown up by the IRA" to which I went stone faced and told him to fuck off. He took a step closer with his arms out so I went to knee him in the balls, missed and kneed him in the stomach instead (dont ask how I missed). He backpeddalled, carried on mouthing off about how he knew the IRA and how he had connections etc etc etc
I saw him 2 weeks later... as he showed me to my seat in Nandos.
2) Similar to the first except it was a friend of mine. He knocked back a lad who started mouthing off about how he was a gunman and he'd get shot after work etc They met again during the day as he served my mate at a McDonalds Drive Thru.
3) Last weekend me and Dave Garvey were working and to amuse ourselves we started pretending to be Polish by putting on accents to the amusement of the flyerers outside. It worked particularly well since we pretended not to understand most of the things people were saying to us and would occasionally look at each other with confused faces followed by pretend-mock Polish speak to where we'd then nod at each other then smile at the customers... anyway...
This girl who had been in earlier (which made it even funnier as we'd already spoken to her in our normal Manc accents) asked if she could leave to go to the cash machine - "Yesh, isss not problem". Upon her return;
Garvey: "You look like my wife, scrong, shoulders are beeg, my wife work good on farrm. Have you got the pass?"
Girl: "My passport? You've already seen it... *takes out her passport and hands it over*"
Garvey: "Ah, goot. I copyyy? *makes scanning motion over the passport*
Girl: [drunk and not taking in what's going on] "Yeah whatever..."
Garvey walks inside, appears again 2 minutes later with a big grin on his face
Garvey: "Thank, my wife ees happy now. She come over now."
Girl's Mate: "He's just copied your passport!"
Girl: "What?! Where's my passport? Give it here!"
Garvey: "No I make copyyy. You say yes. I make copyyy. My wife now come over and happy."
Girl's Mate: "He's just copied your passport to bring his wife over!"
Girl: "I'm calling the police...".
She did indeed call the police. As everybody laughed at her and her mate's stupidity.

Report: Rihanna unhappy over image used on Topshop shirt
Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio
Apparently Rihanna isn't flattered that British retailer Topshop chose to use her image on a shirt. According to "The Sun," the star may be looking to take legal action against the company after it started selling shirts with her image.
A source tells the paper Topshop is using the image without her consent and that Rihanna's management has requested several times that they discontinue them.
Topshop reportedly claims it legally purchased the photo from the photographer for use within the U.K., where the rights are owned. The Rihanna shirt is not being sold in Topshop locations in the U.S.
A source says, however, that Rihanna is upset that artists are being exploited in this way and wants to make a statement about it.

I found out about thse cool little things called "userboxes" in HOA wiki.I think they are a lot of fun.They are really easy to create as well.With these little boxes you can tell others your fav characters,teams,and couples.For example:
|This member really loves the Twilight Saga!
This is one I made myself,to create one.You have to make a new page and paste this into it:
{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:260px; background: COLORNAME; border:2px solid black;"
| style="width:45px; height:45px; background: COLORNAME; text-align:center; font-size:14pt; font-color: midnightblack;" |100px
| style="font-size:11pt; padding:4pt; line-height:1.25em;" | WRITETEXTHERE
:Next you replace COLORNAME with whichever color you want(make sure both of them are the same)
Then instead of FILENAME put the name of the file you want with your userbox,eg bella2.jpg.(Remember if it is a GIF delete the line that says 100 px.)
Finally cut out write text here and write the message that should appear on your box.For Example:I'm on Team Edward!
Now publish it and hopefully you have your userbox.For help please contact me.BYE!!

Kentucky (23-9, 6-6 SEC) is coming off a midweek win over a 25-win Austin Peay club on Tuesday, 6-3. Last weekend, UK suffered its first series loss of the year in a sweep at No. 2 LSU, with the red-hot Tigers setting a school-record with a 32-2 start to the season and an 11-1 mark in conference play. UK fell 11-1 in the opener, 9-1 on Saturday and 11-4 on Sunday, before rebounding with the win over Austin Peay on Tuesday.
The Wildcats will send to the mound their weekend rotation of sophomore southpaw A.J. Reed (2-4, 3.06 ERA) on Friday, senior lefty Jerad Grundy (5-3, 3.46 ERA) on Saturday and junior left-hander Corey Littrell (4-1, 2.72 ERA) on Sunday.

The 6-foot-4, 245-pound lefty has worked 47 innings, allowing 51 hits and 10 walks, striking out 33. In his last start on Friday night at No. 2 LSU, Reed worked five innings, allowing eight hits and five runs - four earned - walking two and striking out three. In his two-year career, Reed has appeared in 24 games with 13 starts, owning a 7-7 record and a 2.77 ERA, walking only 19 and striking out 84 in 100.2 innings. Last year, Reed worked 1.2 innings at Tennessee in relief, allowing one hit and two runs - one earned - walking one and striking out two. Quillen has appeared in nine games with eight starts, working 36 innings, allowing 46 hits and 13 walks, striking out 20. In his last start, Quillen worked 3.1 innings, allowing three hits and two runs, walking five and striking out three.
Grundy, a native of Johnsburg, Ill., has started eight games as the middle game of a weekend, sporting a 5-3 record and a 3.46 ERA. The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder, has tossed 52 innings, allowing 47 hits, walking 14 and striking out 42. In his last start at No. 2 LSU on Saturday, Grundy had the worst outing of his two-year career, allowing 15 hits and nine runs in six innings, as the Tigers jumped out to a 9-0 lead after five innings, with Grundy battling to save the UK bullpen for Sunday. In his two-year UK career, Grundy has made 24 weekend starts, posting an 11-6 record and a 3.66 ERA, tossing 137.2 innings, walking 50 and striking out 105. In his start vs. Tennessee in 2012, Grundy worked 4.2 innings, allowing four hits and two runs, walking one and striking out two.

In his last start vs. Tennessee on a Sunday in 2012, Littrell worked six shutout innings, allowing only four hits and one walk, striking out five as UK posted a 6-0 win to clinch the series. Godley, who joined UT head coach Dave Serrano on the USA Collegiate National Team in 2012, has appeared in 10 games with eight starts, working 57.1 innings, allowing 54 hits and 20 walks, striking out 52. In his last start, Godley worked six innings vs. No. 11 South Carolina in Knoxville, allowing 12 hits and eight runs - seven earned - striking out four. In 2012, Godley turned in a strong start in a Friday-night win over Kentucky, tossing eight innings, allowing three hits and one run, walking two and striking out four on 101 pitches, allowing just a run in the first inning.

Rays' Guerrieri strong in his pro debut
First-rounder allows two hits, fans six in five scoreless frames
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | June 20, 2012 7:53 PM ET
"I stuck to my gameplan," Guerrieri said. "I guess I was a little nervous until that first strike, but I knew the bloop hits will happen. There was a little anxiety, but it was fun. I had a good time."
The Rays' No. 4 prospect ultimately allowed two hits over five shutout innings Wednesday as the Class A Short-Season Hudson Valley Renegades defeated the Aberdeen IronBirds, 5-3.
Guerrieri struck out six and issued one walk. Most would sign up for that line in just about any start -- let alone a debut -- but the 19-year-old right-hander had a different take.
"My goal was to have no walks throughout the whole year," Guerrieri said. "I kind of blew that one tonight."
After the first, Guerrieri allowed only two baserunners -- Joel Hutter doubled in the second and Tom Winegardner walked in the fourth. Five of his outs came on the ground and two in the air.
"I thought I had good stuff today," Guerrieri said. "I was locating the ball well, I threw the changeup for strikes and I worked both sides of the plate. I was very pleased with my outing."
The IronBirds came back from a 3-0 deficit to tie the game after Guerrieri's departure, but the Renegades retook the lead on a two-run double by Joel Caminero in the ninth. The 21-year-old outfielder finished the game with two doubles and four RBIs.
Drafted 24th overall out of high school in 2011, Guerrieri spent the first two-and-a-half months of this season in extended spring training. He worked on some basics, such as his pitch command and control of the running game, while also trying to refine a changeup that he seldom used as an amateur.
"I never really threw it in high school," said Guerrieri, whose repertoire also includes a fastball, curveball and cutter. "Once I got [to the Rays], I started working with it more and more. If you start throwing it every day, you're going to get better at it. I'm pretty pleased with it."
Though Guerrieri's no-walks goal is already shot, he still has other aims for his first pro season.
"My everyday goal is to come out here and compete, give the bullpen a day off or so," he said. "Compete with everybody, and it's all about having fun."

Anguttara Nikaya rules! You mean you haven't read my book?? (see link below in my signature)
The Anguttara Nikaya has the most suttas directed toward lay people than any other Nikaya. It lists the Dhamma teachings by numbers and presents it in a nice summary format. It also has teachings not found in other Nikayas, i.e., there is not so much of the repetition found in other Nikayas.
Here are some quick reference highlights:

For some it may take one sentence for others it may take a million. Actually I recall a sutta where it a 9 year old boy attained arahantship as soon a razor blade hit his head for shaving when he ordained.
People do not know your ability, therefore it is difficult for them to give you the amount that you would need in order to develop.
Read the suttas. Listen to lectures. See what resonates. Follow what makes the most sense. See how it begins to have an influence on your experience. If you put your time in, your practice will naturally become very, very organized and you'll finally feel like everything is moving in one direction rather than a million.
That will condense the chaos. Just my 2 pennies.

I never said you shouldn't. However...
You've said in other threads that the body of literature is sort of overwhelming, correct? I do not want you to feel that way about it, because I know it can be a discouraging feeling. What I want you to see, is that is you dive in, immerse yourself in it, let it become your life, then it organizes itself.
