Hurricane Eatmisery...
*Baby Jack doesn't like to go to sleep at night, so he keeps us up until he damn well feels like going to sleep. Last night, he stayed up until 12:30 a.m. I'm not happy about it, either, considering I have to get up at 5:40 a.m. Plus, he's teething and it's no picnic.
*Work sucks. When one person doesn't do what they promise to do, it affects others, who then have to pick up the lazy person's slack. Not fair.
*I'm worried that I won't be able to give the new baby as much love and attention as I've been able to give Jack, so far. And I'm also scared that I'm going to shortchange Jack on the love and affection once the new baby arrives. I've read that it's normal to feel this way, but I never saw these feelings coming.
*I feel like I'm falling apart, little by little. My plate is full and it's only made of paper, so everything in my life is sliding off because it's too heavy.
*I still have that cold. I've had it for at least two weeks and I just can't shake it.
*I'm terrified they're going to make me have another C-section. I didn't want the first one and I sure as hell don't want another one. Jack will be fifteen months old when the new baby arrives and I'm scared that they're going to rip another baby out of me because it's just so soon since the last one. This is why I'm putting off seeing my new OB/GYN. I don't want to hear this most likely inevitable news.
*My body is tired, but my mind won't stop. I can't concentrate; I can't sleep; I can't even focus on red lights and stop signs. I know they're there; I just don't care. I still stop for them, but they mean nothing to me. Does this make sense?
*I love my husband, but I can't stand him right now. I don't even want to get into it. He just doesn't understand.
*I cry at least once a day for a multitude of reasons. I feel lost, distraught, angry, alone, scared, sad...you name it. I feel everything but happy. And Baby Jack only cheers me up for fleeting moments. I've suffered from depression (years before I ever got pregnant) and what I feel right now is a lot like what I felt before. Is it possible to tell the difference between postpartum depression and normal pregnancy hormone surges? I really need it all spelled out for me. I think it's too late to have PPD, but I really don't know. I just keep telling myself that I feel this way because I'm pregnant. I just don't ever remember feeling this bad when I was pregnant with Jack. And don't tell me to go to the doctor. I don't want to yet.
*If there's anything I dislike about being pregnant, it's all these feelings I'm having. I don't want to go through this part of it again. If being pregnant means I have to be a basket case, I don't know if I'll ever do this again. I just can't take it.
So, there. It's not everything on my mind, but it's a start. I just needed to be honest with myself and write it down so that maybe, just maybe, it won't cloud up my head so much. I don't feel much better for writing this stuff down, though. I still feel empty, like a coffee cup that's just been spilled all over a white carpet. Does any of this make sense to anyone or am I just going crazy?

Simple Audio + Midi Sync?
Hi everyone,
I've got an audio file and the (multichannel) MIDI file that I used to create it. All I'm trying to do is play both of them in sync in Max, but they keep falling out. No loops, no external devices, no frills; just sync. Should be relatively simple, right?
I've spent quite a while mucking with changing the playback speed (via weird messages to detonate), as well as changing the rate of the audio playback, but there doesn't seem to be a 'sweet spot'. No matter what, they always fall out of sync after a minute or so.
I'm not sure where to start approaching this… As for specific questions:
1. Should I instead be using some kind of click track / transport?
2. Should I be changing the speed of the midi to sync with the audio, or vice versa?
3. Anywhere I can read up on this type of thing? Can't seem to find anything as straightforward as this on the forum.
I'm on a new MacBook Pro (core 2 duo 2.53 GHz, 4gb ram), in case it helps.
I am also looking for a solution for this problem (multichannel audio via sfplay~ and a separate midi track). I tried to send audio and midi simultaneously to max via Soundflower and the "to Max/MSP 1" setting. I tried to record them via sfrecord~ and different MIDI objects. seq is unusable, because audio and midi drift apart after a few seconds, seq~ is loop-based, which is not interesting for me, detonate ist only for midi notes. I could be using a external sequencer software for that task, but that's a) an overkill and b) I need a simpler solution for my deployed audio installations.
I am also on a new Macbook Pro. Any help yould be appreciated!!
I found a solution. You can use seq, as long as "Scheduler in Overdrive" and "in Audio Interupt" is activated. After recording a sequence send a "hook 1.00534" message to seq to speed up the playback. It's better to use hook and not the "start
I hope this helps people with a similar problem.

Overview of Scoliosis in Children & AdolescentsScoliosisPublication Date: July 2008 Questions and Answers about Scoliosis in Children and AdolescentsThis booklet defines scoliosis and provides information about how it is diagnosed and treated in children and adolescents. You may be interested in contacting one or more of the organizations listed at the end of the booklet for more information. What Is Scoliosis?Scoliosis is a musculoskeletal disorder in which there is a sideways curvature of the spine, or backbone. The bones that make up the spine are called vertebrae. Some people who have scoliosis require treatment. Other people, who have milder curves, may need to visit their doctor for periodic observation only. "Does Scoliosis Have To Be Treated? What Are the Treatments?" describes how doctors decide whether or not to treat scoliosis. Who Gets Scoliosis?People of all ages can have scoliosis, but this booklet focuses on children and adolescents. Of every 1,000 children, 3 to 5 develop spinal curves that are considered large enough to need treatment. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (scoliosis of unknown cause) is the most common type and occurs after the age of 10. Girls are more likely than boys to have this type of scoliosis. Because scoliosis can run in families, a child who has a parent, brother, or sister with idiopathic scoliosis should be checked regularly for scoliosis by the family doctor. Idiopathic scoliosis can also occur in children younger than 10 years of age, but is very rare. Early onset or infantile idiopathic scoliosis occurs in children younger than 3 years old. It is more common in Europe than in the United States. Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis occurs in children between the ages of 3 and 10. What Causes Scoliosis?In 80 to 85 percent of people, the cause of scoliosis is unknown; this is called idiopathic scoliosis. Before concluding that a person has idiopathic scoliosis, the doctor looks for other possible causes, such as injury or infection. Causes of curves are classified as either nonstructural or structural.
How Is Scoliosis Diagnosed?Doctors take the following steps to evaluate patients for scoliosis:
Doctors group curves of the spine by their location, shape, pattern, and cause. They use this information to decide how best to treat the scoliosis.
Does Scoliosis Have to Be Treated? What Are the Treatments?Many children who are sent to the doctor by a school scoliosis screening program have very mild spinal curves that do not need treatment. When treatment is needed, the doctor may send the child to an orthopaedic spine specialist. The doctor will suggest the best treatment for each patient based on the patient's age, how much more he or she is likely to grow, the degree and pattern of the curve, and the type of scoliosis. The doctor may recommend observation, bracing, or surgery.
Are There Other Ways to Treat Scoliosis?Some people have tried other ways to treat scoliosis, including manipulation by a chiropractor, electrical stimulation, dietary supplements, and corrective exercises. So far, studies of the following treatments have not been shown to prevent curve progression, or worsening:
Which Brace Is Best?The decision about which brace to wear depends on the type of curve and whether the patient will follow the doctor's directions about how many hours a day to wear the brace. There are two main types of braces. Braces can be custom-made or can be made from a prefabricated mold. All must be selected for the specific curve problem and fitted to each patient. To have their intended effect (to keep a curve from getting worse), braces must be worn every day for the full number of hours prescribed by the doctor until the child stops growing.
If the Doctor Recommends Surgery, Which Procedure Is Best?Many surgical techniques can be used to correct the curves of scoliosis. The main surgical procedure is correction, stabilization, and fusion of the curve. Fusion is the joining of two or more vertebrae. Surgeons can choose different ways to straighten the spine and different implants to keep the spine stable after surgery. (Implants are devices that remain in the patient after surgery to keep the spine aligned.) The decision about the type of implant will depend on the cost; the size of the implant, which depends on the size of the patient; the shape of the implant; its safety; and the experience of the surgeon. Each patient should discuss his or her options with at least two experienced surgeons. Patients and parents who are thinking about surgery may want to ask the following questions:
Can People With Scoliosis Exercise?Although exercise programs have not been shown to affect the natural history of scoliosis, exercise is encouraged in patients with scoliosis to minimize any potential decrease in functional ability over time. It is very important for all people, including those with scoliosis, to exercise and remain physically fit. Girls have a higher risk than boys of developing osteoporosis (a disorder that results in weak bones that can break easily) later in life. The risk of osteoporosis is reduced in women who exercise regularly all their lives. Also, weight-bearing exercise, such as walking, running, soccer, and gymnastics, increases bone density and helps prevent osteoporosis. For both boys and girls, exercising and participating in sports also improve their general sense of well-being. What Are Researchers Trying to Find Out About Scoliosis?Researchers are looking for the cause of idiopathic scoliosis. They have studied genetics, growth, structural and biochemical alterations in the discs and muscles, and central nervous system changes. The changes in the discs and muscles seem to be a result of scoliosis and not the cause. Scientists are still hopeful that studying changes in the central nervous system in people with idiopathic scoliosis may reveal a cause of this disorder.Researchers continue to examine how a variety of braces, surgical procedures, and surgical instruments can be used to straighten the spine or to prevent further curvature. They are also studying the long-term effects of both scoliosis fusion and the long-term effects of untreated scoliosis. Where Can People Get More Information About Scoliosis?National Scoliosis Foundation This nonprofit voluntary organization provides pamphlets, a newsletter, and other information materials on childhood and adult scoliosis. The foundation also provides support group information and lists of doctors in each state who specialize in scoliosis. The Scoliosis Association, Inc. This association publishes a quarterly newsletter and pamphlets on scoliosis. A single copy of its fact sheet is available free by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The association also provides information about local chapters and support groups. Scoliosis Research Society This is a professional organization for orthopaedic surgeons interested in scoliosis. It provides pamphlets about the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis. A free pamphlet is offered on its Web site as well as through the mail. The society also can provide referrals to doctors.

- Glad Cafe in GlasgowCity streets the world over are overflowing with coffee shops, cafes and bistros that cater to people's unquenchable thirst for caffeine and cake. Yet, finding a green cafe is often a little harder, so we wanted to give you a taste of a new place Inhabitat visited in Glasgow, Scotland which is a great example of a sustainable cafe space. The Glad Cafe opened in August and it's brimming with up-cycled green designs. The completed space is a welcoming creative hub that aims to bring together the diverse cultural communities in the Southside of Glasgow through music, art, theatre and coffee!1
- The Glad Cafe GlasgowWe were instantly impressed by interior design of The Glad Cafe, which is the result of a collaboration between three Glasgow based designers: Roy Shearer, Gerry Thomson and Simon Harlow. The designers, who share green design principles, worked together with the owner Rachel Smillie in a purposefully 'slow process' in order to source suitable materials for re-use from local sources. They incorporated their individual signature designs with found materials that ranged from waste signage to school gymnasium floors and even piano keys. Read on to spot how these were transformed into innovative furniture pieces.2
- Piano Key Coat HookThese recycled Piano Key coat hooks were a favorite of ours. Saved from a dying old piano, these keys may no longer hold a note, but they offer a playful way to hold people's jackets whilst bringing a subtle musical influence into the furnishings.3
- Signage shelves atThe Glad CafeThis set of colorful and quirky shelves were created using waste signage from a print shop located behind the café. The words were cut up in an abstract matter as they were transformed into shelving, creating a playful wall of words - a definite conversation starter.4
- Recycled Banister at The Glad CafeThe banisters were created from a batch of offcuts from a laser cutting job at the local Maklab. This layered collection of waste material seems more like a piece of art than a piece of waste to us.5
- The Glad Cafe FloorboardsRecycling starts from the ground-up at The Glad Café - even the floor boards are salvaged from a dance floor and an old school gym floor. The design seamlessly pulls the floor boards up to create the frontage for the main coffee bar, making it easy for customers to glide, dance or jump to the bar to pick up their coffee.6
- The Glad Cafe Recycled TableIf you are lucky, you might find yourself placing your coffee on one of these stunning coffee tables, which are made by laminating off-cuts, old pieces of wood, plastic and signage. This material was used for a small cube table, a larger bench, a taller side table, and a small table that uses a singer sewing machine as a base.7
- The Bar at The Glad CafeThe second bar pulls together signage and offcuts with backlighting to successfully create a different atmosphere in the performance area.8
- Bottle Shelves at The Glad CafeWhilst ordering at the bar, you may not notice at first - but the shelves are cleverly crafted from scaffolding planks held in place by old glass bottles. This is a great simple design, that fits into the café spirit very well – just as long as no-one tries to use one of the supporting bottles!9
- Lighting at the Glad CafeThis striking and colourful light is one of the first things you see as you enter the cafe. It's constructed from plastic offcuts and it creates a welcoming glow and great first impression.10
- The Glad Cafe GlasgowThe café has a selection of old recycled chairs and tables, which include church seating and school chairs.11
- Dear Green Glasgow CoffeeThe café plans to have seasonal menus and it stocks as much locally-sourced produce as possible - including locally roasted and freshly toasted Dear Green Coffee, produced by a Glasgow-based artisan coffee roaster driven by a commitment to sustainable coffee farms.12
- The Glad Cafe GlasgowThe owner and founder Rachel Smillie, who has a background in storytelling and music, chose the cafe name after being inspired by Carson McCullers book The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, but ultimately not wanting to make sad cafe, she opted for the more optimistic Glad Cafe. She is passionate about ensuring that The Glad Cafe welcomes a diverse customer base with world music and art forms that exist outside the mainstream.13
- The Glad Cafe GlasgowThere are lots of great little details to look out for around the cafe. We liked this little twist on the toilets signage.14

19-year-old Manchester came to the SX Video studios and told us just how much he would love to suck off a group of eager men and their rock hard cocks for our cameras. He told us that his favorite thing in life was a pulsing penis wrapped around his sweet lips and the explosive pay off of a big hot load down his throat. This boy loves to have his face fucked and his tonsils teased and he's hungry. Who are we to deny young Manchester what he needs? After all, he's just 19 & Loving Cum!
Seven horned up guys show up knowing that they're in for something good. After meeting each guy individually as they introduce themselves to our cameras, Manchester gives them each a preview of his warm mouth. He sucks off each guy for a bit -- one on one -- and we see just how talented our new star is.
Next they all get together on a stage where Manchester goes back to work with all the guys together. He circles the stage leaving no rod untouched or unsucked, keeping everybody very happy and hard. In the end, they swarm over our seamen dreamin' star and blast their large loads one by one into his eager mouth and all over his pretty face. To top it off, the fellas help Manchester get his own sweet load to shoot straight into his own mouth. That's what friends are for.
Manchester thanked us for fulfilling his fantasies and we think you will too.

The Secret to Going Gluten Free Permanently Could Be Fearless & Easy for you…
Ask Danyelle…
"What's your single most important question about Holistic Nutrition?"
Send your questions into Danyelle, and you could be featured in an upcoming issue of the newsletter!
I just wanted to share with you my experience with Danyelle Demchock. I started working with her about 3 weeks ago and am signed up for the 12 week transformational program. She is WONDERFUL! I am so impressed with her knowledge, the structure of her program and her accessibility. Danyelle is very thorough in her explanations and I feel she is truly concerned about my health and well-being. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with and I am so excited about the next 9 weeks. She is the sister I never had.....
- Shirley K.
Working with Amy was AWESOME!! I was feeling very stuck and cranky about having such "limited" options. I was beginning to feel that eating foods that best served me WAS NOT FUN!
When I got on a 15 minute call with Amy, I had PAGES full of food ideas! She was an absolute food ENCYCLOPEDIA!!
And the best part - the ideas sounded GOOD! She kept asking me if I liked certain foods, and if I didn't, we didn't talk about them. She had limitless ideas for the things I DID like!
She also gave me some brilliant insights for what to eat while I'm traveling and how to always have nourishing foods with me.
If you're feeling stuck with your food choices, I couldn't recommend Amy highly enough! I don't know any other nutritionists who are sooo connected to the individual client's body.
Rachel R., Las Vegas, NV
I am most proud of how I am now able to make delicious meals and not feel like I am missing out on anything and not feeling deprived.... There has been a definite shift in my attitude and mentality on the way I eat.
I absolutely loved the scientific research and evidence that was presented during the course. I change things when I understand how and why something is affecting me. I also loved that the program was presented in a holistic way and not just about food - I expected that, but I didn't think it was going to incorporate as much information as it did in improving other areas of your life.
Yes, the bloated belly is GONE!
The thing that most blew me away is how much better I feel and actually how simple it can be to avoid gluten and eat tasty food. I loved the step by step process which made making a big lifestyle change seem like a breeze!
This program was another step in the right direction for me, to having a better relationship with my body and finally making a more permanent transition to better health. As one of my favorite daytime talk show host says "When you know better, you do better." I have learned so much from this program.
Danyelle and Amy - you ladies rock, keep up the amazing work!!!
Bre-An A.
I'm definitely noticing less of a fluctuation in my energy throughout the day. But the really exciting change I've noticed in this short time is a drop in my cravings. I don't seem to feel endless hunger anymore...but pure satisfaction when I eat!
My gut has definitely felt more calm. So I think that has convinced me that this program works!
All the information. You really did a great job of educating us on how gluten affects our health and lives. And the support was great. I felt at times like you were reading my mind!
Suzanne H.
I am enjoying the program, also the extra bits you offer. I find the transcripts fantastic, as I use them when I listen to the recording and highlight accordingly -safes me from writing up notes.
I felt totally supported by the both of you. It's clear that you both did everything possible for me to get the most I can from the program. Many thanks.
Steve K.
Before I started working with Danyelle, I had my doubts on whether this would have any positive impact on my weight, my health or wellbeing. But the moment we started talking, I was at ease.
The transformation began immediately and had long lasting impacts. Danyelle was supportive, kind, empathic, and flexible ( I travel worldwide and finding slots to hook up was not always easy). There are still messages of hers that I go back to frequently and tools I still use.
Working with Danyelle has changed my life. I now acknowledge my Primary Foods: I am currently writing on my 3rd novel and am training to become a Life Coach. Thanks, Danyelle - you are the greatest!
Esther B. - Houston, TX
When I first began training with Danyelle a number of years ago, I was only looking "to get in better shape." Over time, Danyelle's recommendations on exercise, nutrition, sleep, etc., proved to be transformational.
As a result, I am in much better physical shape today and have changed how I think about my health. What in the past was mostly ignored on a day-to-day basis, is now integrated fully into my work and family life.
I cannot emphasize enough how fortunate I am to be training with Danyelle.
David G., New York, NY.
I am grateful for Danyelle's breadth of knowledge and her kind and positive spirit. She has a way of meeting every person at a comfort point and encourages growth to occur in a suitable fashion, designed to fit each individual.
Constance P., New York, NY
I coached with Danyelle for several years. She is authentic, she is honest, and she will tell you like it is. I will be forever grateful that Danyelle showed up on my path when I was in need of her help. I would highly recommend Danyelle.

Funston Captures Aguinaldo
In the wily, elusive leader of the Philippine Insurrection a bedeviled Uncle Sam almost met his match.
February 1958 | Volume 9, Issue 2
Although the plan had involved several weeks of preparation, it was actually quite simple. Segismundo had warned that no steamer could touch shore within 100 miles of rebel headquarters without being reported immediately by Aguinaldo's agents. So it was decided to leave the Vicksburg some miles at sea and paddle ashore in three barcas. These canoe-like sailboats were procured en route, but the seas ran heavily and they all swamped. So Funston was forced to run the risk of detection by having the Vicksburg approach the beach at night. The men then went ashore, and the steamer was again out of sight by dawn. Fortunately this operation was accomplished without incident or discovery. The expedition found itself ashore near its first objective, the village of Casiguran.
The next morning, March 14, the party set off for Casiguran. It was only a few miles away, but the sea was rough and it rained incessantly during the trip. The men followed the beach all the way, but mangrove thickets often came down to the water's edge, and the troops were forced to wade around them. As a result of the delay, the journey consumed the better part of one whole day, and when the men reached Casiguran they were completely exhausted and famished, since they had brought only enough food for breakfast. Although it was not much of a town, Casiguran proved a welcome sight. Funston, his fellow "prisoners," and the Macabebes had three days in which to recuperate before they resumed the journey.
While resting at Casiguran, Funston put the plan into operation. He had prepared letters for Aguinaldo, and these were sent to rebel headquarters from Casiguran. One letter, purportedly from Placido, recounted how his column, while en route to rebel headquarters with Segismundo, had encountered a small force of Americans, with whom a skirmish had been fought. Five of the Americans had been captured and were being brought to headquarters for questioning. In this manner Funston prepared Aguinaldo to accept the presence of some Americans so close to his hiding place.
Under ordinary circumstances Aguinaldo might have been suspicious of this message, but Funston had added a master touch to give it an authenticity above question. Another letter allegedly came from Lacuna, one of Aguinaldo's commanders in Luzon. In this letter, Funston, in the role of Lacuna, said that in accordance with instructions from Baldomero Aguinaldo he was sending eighty men to the rebel capital under command of Placido, Segovia, and Segismundo. This was in keeping with instructions contained in the messages Segovia had decoded at San Isidro.
During the previous October, Funston had had a brush with Lacuna in which he had captured the rebel's personal property, including some stationery with the words "Brigada Lacuna" printed at the top of each sheet. An expert forger in Manila had imitated Lacuna's signature on some of them, and it was on these that Funston wrote his message to Aguinaldo. The signature and letterhead deceived Aguinaldo completely, and he accepted the message as being genuine.
The Macabebes had a holiday at Casiguran as the village band turned out to do them homage, and the inhabitants clustered around to hear of their gallant victory over Funston's men. The Little Macs proved to be consummate liars and took much delight in expanding their stories. Funston was justifiably worried that they might overdo it and arouse suspicion, forget themselves and speak in their native dialect rather than Tagalog, or fail to treat the Americans as prisoners. A deference for officers was something the Spanish had instilled in them, and it was extremely difficult for Funston to convince his Macs that they would have to treat him and the other American officers as prisoners of war.
Worrisome as these problems were, they were the least of Funston's headaches. In Casiguran he heard that Aguinaldo had been reinforced by 400 men. Five to one odds were sufficient cause for alarm, but Funston assured his men that the element of surprise would more than compensate for this disparity in force.
The principal danger, however, was a lack of provisions. It was a seven-day march to Palanan and the alcalde, or mayor, of Casiguran could supply enough food for only three days. The terrain was known to be the roughest and most difficult in Luzon. The alcalde offered to have enough food available in a week, but Funston did not dare delay that long because the Vicksburg was scheduled to arrive at Palanan Bay on March 25. If Funston did not bag his quarry and arrive before that date, the gunboat's appearance would send Aguinaldo packing into the hills. Further delay at Casiguran was unthinkable.
The expedition set out for its final destination, trusting to luck that the provisions on hand would be sufficient. There were other dangers and mishaps. Funston took along twelve men from Casiguran to act as bearers, and he was still concerned that his Macabebes might betray the plan to them by speaking m their own dialect. This did not happen, but before the first day's hike ended, the enterprise was jeopardized by the desertion of the party's guide. Fortunately one of the Casiguran bearers thought he knew the way to Palanan, and the expedition pressed forward.

Questions on Green Lasers?????
Hi, Questions on Green Lasers and Picatinny rails
First, how far can you see the target during day light with green lasers? Second, I,m looking for a green laser that will fit on my Picatinny rails. I appreciate your help if you know of any websites that sell the green lasers. I'm not looking for an expensive one, just a decent one. Thanks for you replies back, bobbart |

If your looking for rifle ranges it will fall short of what you want. I would say 40 to 50 yrds. max in the sun and a farther in the woods by a good bit. If it`s for a rifle I have had good luck with the NC Stars`s. I have an AR upper with a red lazer on it for nite hunting coyotes. If you are going to use it in conjunction with nite vision the green lazer is far to bright and you can see the red lazer much farther than your gun will shoot.

Richard WAGNER (1813-1883) Hans Knappertsbusch Conducts Wagner see end of review for details Günther Treptow (tenor), Franz Lechleitner (tenor) Vienna State Opera Chorus, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra/Knappertsbusch rec. 1950-59 DECCA ELOQUENCE 480 7093 [79:12 + 75:16] Hans Knappertsbusch (1888-1965) is often cited as the greatest of the post-war Wagner conductors to work at Bayreuth. Although he rarely appeared outside Germany, he endeared himself to British audiences by his total refusal to bow to the Nazi regime; he was a favourite with orchestras too, because he famously hated rehearsing, preferring to depend on mutual trust and communication during the performance itself. His Bayreuth Parsifals are legendary, and we have three tantalising extracts here. The sound is not great - very thin and squeezed in the higher registers of strings and woodwind - but the pacing of the Prelude to Act 1 gives an immediate insight into his qualities. He learned his craft under Hans Richter at Bayreuth, and this is 'old school' Wagner; majestic, unhurried, yet full of expressive intensity. The Parsifal extracts are followed bySiegfried Idyll, Wagner's sublime birthday present to Cosima after the birth of their son Siegfried. Listening to the opening, which is a kind of prologue to the main body of the work, I was finding Knappertsbusch's approach worryingly indulgent - so free with the rubato, holding back at the end of each and every phrase. Then, when the music moved into its true first section, it began to flow in the most wonderful way, and this blossomed into a deeply felt and wholly idiomatic reading. When I then listened to it for a second time, it all simply made sense. A performance to treasure, with the musicians of the Vienna Philharmonic - the orchestra in all of these performances - playing with the utmost sensitivity. A passionate and powerful version of the Tristan Prelude is followed by a perhaps rather stolid account of the Tannhäuser Overture and Venusberg music to complete CD 1, which contains tracks from 1950 to 1955. CD 2 begins with a splendid and dramatic rendering of the Flying Dutchman overture. I have rarely heard the opening more thrilling, despite the primitive sound. The music is so evocative; the ghostly ship breasting the stormy sea, the wind howling through its rigging - all this, plus the more romantic or ebullient moments, come through superbly. The Meistersinger Prelude to Act 1 was a surprise -really brisk and business-like, leading directly into curtain-up and the opening chorale. The remaining items are true 'bleeding chunks', although the Ride of the Valkyries has its own perennial blood supply. This is not really Forest Murmurs on track 8; the work of that title is a short purely orchestral piece strung together, quite successfully, from the music in Act 2 of Siegfried where Siegfried encounters the Woodbird. All we have here is a straightforward extract, complete with Siegfried's own comments and interpolations - admittedly in the fine tenor voice of Franz Lechleitner. In the context of the opera, this is fine, but makes little or no sense as a free-standing item, lovely though the music is. The two Götterdämmerung items work much better; there are rough edges and imprecise ensemble but the music has tremendous certainty of direction, as well as wonderful individual playing from the VPO's woodwind and brass. All in all, these discs generously repay repeated listening. These are emphatically not immaculate studio recordings by modern standards; but music is being made here, at a high emotional and aesthetic level.

NZC does have a track record of making people feel welcome tbf.
Just got around to watching the Wellington second innings wickets...
Ryder.... not sure whether to just laugh, or feel vaguely insulted by it.
Lovely yorker from Fuller to clean up one of the tail-enders.
Not far away from giving up on Ryder tbh. He'll probably be 29 by the time he returns. With his past injury problems, he's probably only got four years left, and I doubt he'll be a regular starter during that time period either.
It's just really sad that he's got so much talent but can't apply it for NZ. I was travelling through Rotorua over the Christmas break. I was tempted to track down the busy bodies who told him off for drinking after the ODI against SA last year and then told the media about it. They and Craig McMillan have a lot to answer for.
Craig Cachopa slipping under the radar a bit this year, I didn't think he was much chop after seeing him play for Wellington, but is getting a great record together. Auckland actually has some young talent..
Nope. He played Auckland U-19s and made a big century in one of the games at the national tournament but didn't make the NZ squad for the 2001/02 World Cup, which surprised me at the time as he obviously had a big reputation and had then put runs on the board at the tournament.
He has played club cricket ever since and I regularly see him making big runs.
I'm no talent scout and I can't claim to know a FC standard cricketer when I see one, but the things he has done (like the U-18 season I mentioned) seem pretty extraordinary to me. I can only guess it's off-field stuff and rubbing people the wrong way that has held him back.
Disclaimer: I don't know the guy, have only vaguely followed his career and am no expert. However I have previous as I touted Tarun Nethula (who is also 29) for years after playing him at school- it took him until his mid-20s to play FC cricket but he quickly made the Black Caps
Hopefully he can cement his place in the Auckland line up now with that hundred. I remember Anaru Kitchen burst onto the scene a few years ago, what's happened to him?
That 2002 WC squad was one of the better ones.
Ross Taylor (captain, Central Districts)
Simon Allen (Wellington)
Michael Bates (Auckland)
Peter Borren (Canterbury)

Fraser Hawes (Canterbury)
Greg Hay (Central Districts)

Don't squander the gold of your days making a shrine of cricket videos, trying to improve the hopeless failure, giving your life away to the Blockys, the Devciches and the Weerasundaras! Surrender your devout little cricketing heart to the inured agribusinessman.
We'll be right. Every Shield season a rookie comes in and dominates for a few games. I'm backing us to harness the power of the rookie to hold us together if our first string attack isn't fit.
You'll be harnessing Stevie Smidt and Badenhorst. "Giddy up!" - Ronchi.
Yeah, you know what paper it is...While his teammates enjoyed a beer Patel sipped fizzy drinks but the six-wicket ball will take pride of place at his home home.
Cricket: Patel's faith yields wickets | Hawke's Bay Today
No, we're finished for this season FC-wise actually. Wgtn have to look forward to domination of the Ford Trophy now, the perk of "not producing anything" as Howsie would say.
Even Franky looking like he'll play some games, Sam Wells flummoxing Ronchi with some fairly gentle inswingers I noticed. #number7update.
Lockie, eh. Will probably play Quinn. Mathieson to enjoy the bounce, Small probably back as well.
The 13 from which a team will be named for Wednesday's game is as follows:
Gareth Hopkins (Captain) (Parnell)
Michael Bates (Suburbs New Lynn)
Craig Cachopa (Takapuna)

Rita Richards interviewed Nance Bynon from Devonport (and before that Smithton) in Tasmania.
Nance was born at Williamsford on the west coast. Her dad was a miner and her mother helped with the Red Cross when they came to look after the children. Nance is 91 and until breaking her hip three years ago has lived for Red Cross in the north west.
Rita: How and when did you become involved with Australian Red Cross?
Nance: My mother joined at Waritah in Tasmania. That's when I first became interested, but I didn't joint until I became a VAD in the second world war, part of nursing Victoria.
What positions did you hold and what was your role in the Red Cross?
I have been in the Tasmanian Red Cross for many years and was president of Devonport and secretary of Smithton for a short while. I helped to run the opportunity shop in Edwards Street Devonport, and was on the mobile blood service rounds on the west and north coasts. I was also a community visitor at the nursing home here and many more.
Do you have any special memories of Red Cross and your time there?
Too many to remember!
How important is Red Cross to you?
It was to me my all, my husband and I had no children so as he was away a lot with his work, I had the Red Cross.
What kind of stories would you like to see in the book of Australian Red Cross?
I would like to hear stories about their work during the war years.

That's the driving focus behind the new Assistive Robotics Lab at the UT Arlington Research Institute (UTARI). Launched in December 2012, the lab is aimed at advancing robotics for health care, first-responder, and other applications.
"If you think about our nation and our world, we have an aging population," says retired Army Gen. Rick Lynch, executive director of UTARI. "People in assisted living facilities and wounded warriors, what they ask for is independence. What they want is to not have to be reliant on others."
At its opening, the lab received robots from RE2 Inc. and QinetiQ North America that researchers hope will someday aid in that task. These included a mobile, manipulative robotic nursing assistant that, among other things, can be used for physically intensive tasks, such as helping a patient sit up or transfer to a gurney.
UTARI also recently debuted its Living Laboratory, which allows researchers to focus on projects that center on enabling robotic platforms to assist people with common household activities.
"We're only limited by our imaginations," says RE2 president Jorgen Pedersen. "Everyone wants Rosie from The Jetsons. That will come, but if you take baby steps and provide tools for people to use, we will eventually see that technology in the home."

US News & World Report (March 14, 2011): Mental Decline May Start Years Before Alzheimer's
When Alzheimer's disease actually starts is often not clear, but it now appears that it may be preceded by rapid cognitive decline for up to six years before it becomes evident, a new study suggests.
This accelerated deterioration in memory and other mental function is not seen in people who do not develop Alzheimer's disease, the researchers said.
"Alzheimer's disease has a much longer course and affects substantially more people than generally recognized," said lead researcher Robert S. Wilson, a senior neuropsychologist at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago.
"The results provide further evidence of the magnitude of the public health problem posed by Alzheimer's disease and related disorders and underscore the importance of developing strategies to delay its onset," he said.
For the study, published in the March issue of Archives of Neurology, Wilson's team evaluated information on 2,071 older adults without dementia who took part in two separate studies, including 1,511 who had no signs of cognitive impairment.
The participants were tested on specific cognitive functions such as working memory, perceptual speed and visuo-spatial ability.
During 16 years of follow-up, 462 people developed Alzheimer's disease.
"We found that dementia in Alzheimer's disease is preceded by an average of five to six years of rapid cognitive delince," Wilson said.

A man was hurt seriously early Thursday after an argument ended with his ex-girlfriend's father stabbing him, authorities said.
Donell Smith, Jr., 19, of 2144 Scottwood Ave., was stabbed in the abdomen and required surgery at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center, police said. A hospital spokesman said she had no information on a patient by that name.
The suspect, Odonald Fowler, 61, of 247 Kevin Place, was held at the Lucas County jail yesterday on a felonious assault charge. Bond is pending a court appearance later Thursday.
The problem began about midnight, with an argument between Mr. Smith and his ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend, Charles Moses, 29, of central Toledo, at the Kevin Place residence the woman shares with her father, Mr. Fowler. Mr. Smith fired three or four gunshots at Mr. Moses' sport-utility vehicle, police said. Mr. Smith fled the scene on foot as police arrived..
Mr. Smith returned to the Kevin Place home a half hour later, and was confronted by Mr. Fowler, who was identified in the emergency call as the woman's father, Lucas County EMS said.
Mr. Fowler stabbed Mr. Smith in the abdomen with a kitchen knife, and emergency crews found Mr. Smith bleeding on the front porch of the home, police said.

For years I've been trying to squeeze down my portable office. I've gone from seven-pound laptops to five pounds to three pounds. Switched to Palm, Visor, Treo, MiFI/Smartphone/iTouch and so on. All so I could stay wired and have access to important files and not feel like a pack mule.
So naturally news of the iPad from Apple was received with interest. My mind did the bank account calculations to get that issue out of the way.
Next was the taste test. Is this a device that will satisfy my needs now and for the next few years? My expectations for the smartphones were pretty low. The small screen size, inability to print from them, and limited power and memory discouraged me from doing any serious work.
With the iPad it's a little different. At this price, size, and ability to establish a fast connection to the cloud, I may want it to do more than just supplement my desktop, I may want it replace it on the road. Particularly on long trips when actual work is done in hotel rooms. That'll mean a keyboard and possibly external storage of some sort (the WiFi + 3G model alone has a Micro SIM card tray). It may mean applications more capable than iWork and other applets. There's no camera so I can't video conference. It's a little too small for giving a presentation to all but a couple of people at a time. So I'll sit and watch for a bit. I have a feeling that there will be scores of replacements. Similar products are not new to the market and manufacturers are very active in this space after spending years trying to get the tablet market to lift off.
With the imprimatur of Apple and its elegant user interface, I'm sure the niche will develop fast, regardless of my wait and see attitude. The iPad is sort of a disruptive product. But unlike true disruptive products it just helps us do what we are already doing easier. As the iMac pioneered when it joined computer and monitor into one slim unit, so too does the iPad do the same for the laptop. With the iMac we lost expandability, with the iPad we lose some expandability and functionality. For those who can afford it, the iPad will be a welcome new multimedia delivery mechanism.
Clues to whether it will be successful or not have some precedent. Remember back maybe 15 years ago? Kodak introduced a technology for developing and storing pictures on a CD. It was interesting but not the instant hit they hoped for among ordinary consumers. When surveys were done and a post-mortem was held they found that they were selling huge numbers of CDs and film processing engines in Germany and China. The subject matter? Porn. Yes, the illegal porn market was using this technology to distribute original and stolen porn via cheap composite CD disks and selling them in the street markets and by mail.
Other technologies have also benefited by being adopted by the adult content industry. Online subscriptions and micro-payments found traction in the porn industry. Porn helped the VHS tape format dominate the Beta format. There's nothing Apple can do to stop this potential reality. Everything is delivered through web browser streaming and out of their control.
Back to my use of the iPad. I do hope the arrival of Apple's version of the tablet computer will ignite a new surge in need for content. Struggling content suppliers, newspapers, and wire services may be saved by it. I do hope publishers won't just repackage their content for this format. I hope they will enrich it and index their data so I don't have to have three-foot stacks of magazines around because of a need I may someday have for an article. I'll be happy to pay a search fee given the chance. Embed a video of someone making the recipe along with a printable (is there a bluetooth printer driver on the iPad, hmm) ingredients list. Don't take the lazy way out and send me to YouTube.
(I've been granted a reprieve on making a decision. iPads will not be available until the middle of April — more time to spend weighing its value and the alternatives.)

Bankrupt Detroit Shouldn't Scalp Bondholders
Read More.
Detroit, which just became the largest U.S. city to seek Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection, is in many ways unique. It has managed to lose a quarter of its population since 2000, for one thing. For another, its liabilities are a staggering $17 billion, according to an estimate by Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr -- in a city of roughly 700,000.
That's why plenty of analysts are asserting that Detroit's bankruptcy is also a unique case. Its finances are so calamitous, they argue, and its demographic and fiscal spirals so severe, that investors will treat its bankruptcy as a one-off event. So the haircut its bondholders will inevitably take is unlikely to result in significantly increased borrowing costs elsewhere.
Don't be so sure. Orr -- who will be in the driver's seat in bankruptcy, and can force cramdowns on creditors as long as one party getting a haircut consents to his reorganization plan -- has indicated he will treat roughly $369 million in unlimited-tax general obligation bonds on par with pension and benefit liabilities.
Those UTGO bonds were approved by voters and backed by tax revenue. They're generally about as safe as it gets. So treating them on par with unsecured pension debt is a good way to panic investors. Five other cities and three school districts in Michigan are also under emergency managers. About 10 percent of the state's population lives in a locality under budgetary oversight. School districts in Pontiac and Buena Vista have recently defaulted. If Orr follows through and treats those UTGO bonds the same as other unsecured debt, investors could be forgiven for wondering if the state is still committed to honoring its obligations.
That's why we argued here that Michigan taxpayers should step up and help bail out some of Detroit's pensioners. Doing so would ease their suffering and ensure that money still circulates in Detroit's economy as it reorganizes. But -- more selfishly for taxpayers -- it would also help ensure that borrowing costs don't rise across the state.
As for the UTGO bonds, Orr would be risking an awful lot of credibility -- in Detroit and elsewhere in the state -- for a paltry sum of money, given the scale of what the city owes. Ultimately, that's the best argument against giving those bondholders an ugly haircut.

Exactly my thoughts on the subject. While I would love if the writers actually took the time to develop all three characters, if they HAD to leave one a little flat, I'd actually prefer them mixing it up and making it the female character. I feel like Cilan has such a huge amount of potential that isn't being tapped into because the writers insist on making him "That guy that takes care of Ash and his companion". It would be a real shame if they brought him along for the ride just to make him take a back seat again.
And not only is Cilan's dub dry, it's also a bit corny IMO. His manner of speaking just doesn't work in English for some reason. I feel that it can though, so long as they're willing to tweak it.
Personally, I don't think it's a matter of him being a strong battler that makes him more developed. For me, it's seeing him grow as a person and accomplish his goals that would do it. I mean if you think of Cilan, all that really comes to mind is his quirky actions and the fact that he wants to be an S-Class Connoisseur. That's it. And that for me is the problem. He seems too flat. I don't feel like he's grown enough and that I've learned enough about him to feel satisfied letting him go. I feel a journey through PokeFrance would be the perfect solution, so long as they actually give him some focus.
Also, I don't want him to stick around as long as Brock did. That was a mistake in my eyes. His welcome was officially worn out when he showed up in Sinnoh. No, Cilan shouldn't stick around longer than two regions. But that in my opinion is doable, since he's so close to accomplishing his dream now.

I really liked this podcast and everyone on it.
Um, wow. I go to bed really late because the podcast isn't getting posted and wake up to a shitstorm. I really love Leigh's blog, and I think she's extremely smart, so hopefully this is all exaggeration. I guess I'll know when I listen myself.
Good God shes annoying!
Leigh Alexander should shut the fuck up for 5 seconds and let other people talk
I have no clue who that lady is, but she is anoying as all hell. First Bombcast I could not finish.
The GB Community! in full effect.
First podcast I had to abandon :( NEVER have her on again please.
Best Bombcast I've listened to in awhile. Just crazyness, the way it should be. By the way, Leigh was fucking awesome and added some spice to the listen.
I wasn't too bothered by the over crowded room today, some interesting opinions.
" Leigh is talking over everyone. Even if she has something interesting to say, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST let others get their thoughts out too. "
"@Llama said:You feel bad for a person getting drunk and then making a fool of themselves? Makes no sense. Don't get drunk and then go on a podcast. ""@Metal_Mills said:I feel bad for badmouthing her now :( "" http://sexyvideogameland.blogspot.com/2009/06/no-more-sparks-on-podcasts.htmlShe agrees she sucked on the bombcast. lol ouch. "
It's strange, I thought Leigh's comments with pretty spot on. She sounded like she was talking intelligently. When she spoke about her gaming preferences she was speaking very closely to my preferences. So I guess I just found myself relating to her pretty well. She seems to play off the others well too. I enjoyed it.
this girl... has some good things to say..
but christ her voice is annoying =/
Too many chefs ruin the brew... especially female ones. (In this case :P)
It's official! The bombcast was bombjacked by two complete douches!
Douche #1 - Leigh Alexander [completely ruined the first hour and a half]
Douche #2 - Kraig Kujawa [asked way too many questions from his douche tower, which ruined the remaining half hour]
As much as it pains me to say, as host, I have to lay some of the blame on Ryan.
I didn't mind Leigh, really. She did make some good points.
You can't really expect the usual Tuesday glory when there's a bunch more people around, everyone is excited, everyone is on Sparks, and there's alcohol involved.
The podcast itself was interesting. But despite Leigh's statements, she's annoyingly opinionated and hypocritical, as well as really rude with cutting people off. That was super frustrating.
Just finished .. Wanna hear it again ;D
Why are you guys being so hard on Leigh? She seemed to fit in the podcast so well. She had good points and funny opinions. I liked that she was on the BombCast.
"@Guerrilla_Mason said:Ah... i thought sparks were energy drinks... booze makes a lot more sense x) ""@Llama said:You feel bad for a person getting drunk and then making a fool of themselves? Makes no sense. Don't get drunk and then go on a podcast. ""@Metal_Mills said:I feel bad for badmouthing her now :( "" http://sexyvideogameland.blogspot.com/2009/06/no-more-sparks-on-podcasts.htmlShe agrees she sucked on the bombcast. lol ouch. "
I think Sparks is an energy drink, but she says on that thingy she was drunk. "
" Why are you guys being so hard on Leigh? She seemed to fit in the podcast so well. She had good points and funny opinions. I liked that she was on the BombCast. "
I'm not happy with some of the stuff that was said, but I don't think they should have posted the whole podcast, and should have directed the conversation like hosts should if their intent from the beginning was to broadcast whatever was said. Ultimately it was up to them, since they control the content.
Vaseline is a sealant, not a lubricant.
I actually didn't mind her that much until she jacked the discussion about Konami's press conferrence to go on a rant about how MSG4 was under appreciated by, like 99% of people, and she was the only one that understood the sudlty of Kojima's vision, or some shit like that. Basically saying that if you enjoyed MSG4, you only did so cause your a fucktard and arn't as smart as her sudo-intellectual, Fleet Fox listning, anime loving, drunk ass.
You know who a really great female guest would be, Jennifer Tsao. What is she doing these days? Actually any of the women from 1up.com would be good guests. Even Jessica Chobot from IGN.com would be a fun guest. Anybody but Leigh. She was okay at first, but she became grating mid podcast. This is the first Bombcast I could not finish because of a guest.
haha no offence Leigh, as you admitted you were drunk.
But you are the voice of the blind Sony fanboy, who uses "I have an Xbox!" to try to show your not baised xD
I know Ryan was flame baiting, but he totally called Just Cause 2 being a Bionic Commando with fun added into the mix.
"The Giant Bomb community finally hears the sound of a female voice and they flip out. THEY'RE NOT READY GUYS!Christ people...That's what girls do. They talk. A lot. You'll learn that soon."
Yes, let's keep reproducing those stereotypes.
She was the worst guest ever.

Movie SummaryThe Last Road Trip: Paris to Dakar
Web Site: http://www.thelastroadtrip.com/ Description: Set in the world's most spectacular off-road race. The film captures the spirit of the Lone Rider against the desert, as epitomized by deceased race founder Thierry Sabine and his racing compatriot Hubert Auriol. The movie tells the story of several of these teams as they attempt to complete the Dakar rally. Each year 300 riders set out from Paris to travel 5000 miles of breathtaking African sands in a race followed by several hundred million passionate fans in 156 different countries. This eighteen-day motorized marathon is the ultimate test of man and machine's attempt to cover nature. Traditionally beginning the first week of January, the race continues over three weeks and 6,000 miles as the entire convoy idles through France and Spain before letting it rip across the desert sands of Morocco, Mali, Mauritania, and Senegal. The exact route is constantly subject to change, due to the intense volatility of the region, but somehow the violent threat of local mercenaries only adds to the rally's lore. Faced with such overwhelming obstacles as sandstorms, searing heat, deadly land mines, and desert mercenaries, the competitors have one goal: Arrive alive.

Cork Flooring Video
When installing a cork floor, you must first seal the surface. The liquid sealer is good on either concrete or wood. Paint it on with a paint brush or a roller. In about 45 minutes, it will be ready to use. Apply the glue next. Some are light blue in color, but dry clear. Once the glue has dried, it is time to lay the cork flooring squares.
The cork flooring comes in a variety of patterns and sizes. It is easy to cut using a standard razor knife. Once the flooring is down, you can coat it with a urethane wood finish. A clear, water based urethane will dry in as little as an hour. So you can apply multiple coats in a single day.
Cork flooring is durable, easy to maintain and if the urethane coating wears, just put another coat on. This flooring is easy to clean and hides dirt well.

Hi we are Greg & Tammy. We have a 11 month old Amstaff/Spaniel mix named Bruzer. We adopted him from the pound 08/08/04. He was confiscated, along with his mom, dad and 10 brothers and sisters. He was the monster of the bunch, and was named after his dad who, we are told, he resembles greatly. He is a very loving, very gentle dog and is very much a part of our family. The kids say Mom spoils him rotten, but I think they are just jeallous.
He likes to sleep with Mom and Dad, on his back, right between us. If only one of us is in the bed, he will cuddle up and put his front arm over us protectively.
I have been looking for a site to learn more about my beautiful baby boy, and I am glad I found it.[/img]

Congenital pulmonary stenosis is a health problem present from birth. It's when the pulmonary valve in your heart doesn't fully open. Congenital pulmonary stenosis balloon valvuloplasty is a type of procedure that aims to fix this problem. It does so without the need for open heart surgery.
Congenital pulmonary stenosis is when the pulmonary valve doesn't fully open. This health problem is present from birth. Congenital pulmonary stenosis surgery aims to fix this problem. It is a type of open heart surgery.
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a procedure used to treat coronary artery disease. One way to treat the blocked or narrowed arteries is to bypass the blocked portion of the coronary artery with a piece of a healthy blood vessel from elsewhere in the body.
CT scan is a type of imaging test. It uses X-rays and computer technology to make images or slices of the body. A CT scan can make detailed pictures of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, organs, and blood vessels. They are more detailed than regular X-rays.
A dobutamine stress echocardiogram is a diagnostic test to assess the heart muscle under stress. If exercise on a treadmill is not an option (too much stress on the heart) due to a person's medical condition, a doctor may use an intravenous medicine called dobutamine. Dobutamine causes the heart to beat faster and will mimic the effects of exercise on the heart.
Double outlet right ventricle surgery is a procedure that fixes a type of heart malformation called double outlet right ventricle (DORV).
Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices are used to help prevent blood clots in the deep veins of the legs. The devices use cuffs around the legs that fill with air and squeeze your legs. This increases blood flow through the veins of your legs and helps prevent blood clots.
An echocardiogram is a noninvasive (the skin is not pierced) procedure used to assess the heart's function and structures.
Cardioversion is a procedure used to return an abnormal heartbeat to a normal rhythm. This procedure is used when the heart is beating very fast or irregular. This is called an arrhythmia. Arrhythmias can cause problems such as fainting, stroke, heart attack and even sudden cardiac death. With electrical cardioversion, a low-energy shock is sent to the heart to reset a normal rhythm. It is different from chemical cardioversion, in which medications are used to try to restore a normal rhythm.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the simplest and fastest tests used to evaluate the heart. Electrodes (small, plastic patches that stick to the skin) are placed at certain locations on the chest, arms, and legs. When the electrodes are connected to an ECG machine by lead wires, the electrical activity of the heart is measured, interpreted, and printed out.
An electrophysiologic study uses small, thin wire electrodes placed directly on the heart to evaluate you for an abnormal heart rhythm.
Endovascular repair is a type of treatment for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, or AAA. This is a bulge in the wall of the large artery below your heart that is at risk for rupture. During the procedure, the weak section of the aorta is treated to prevent it from tearing.
Endovenous laser varicose vein surgery is a procedure that uses heat from a laser to reduce varicose veins. Varicose veins are swollen, bulging veins that often happen on the thighs or calves. A laser is a device that sends a thin beam of radiation in the form of light.
An event monitor is a portable device used to record your heart's electrical activity when you have symptoms. It records the same information as an electrocardiogram (ECG), but for longer durations of time. Most of these devices can transmit the recorded information directly to your healthcare provider. This allows him or her to analyze the electrical activity of your heart while you are having symptoms.
An exercise echocardiogram is a procedure in which ultrasound, or sound wave technology, is used to asses the heart's response to stress or exercise.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the simplest and fastest tests used to evaluate the heart. For this test, electrodes (small, plastic patches that stick to the skin) are placed at certain spots on the chest, arms, and legs. When the electrodes are connected to an ECG machine by wires, the electrical activity of the heart is measured, interpreted, and printed out.
Femoral popliteal bypass surgery is used to treat blocked femoral artery. The femoral artery is the largest artery in the thigh. It supplies oxygen-rich blood to the leg. Blockage is due to plaque buildup or atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis in the leg arteries causes peripheral vascular disease. The same process causes heart disease and stroke.
A heart transplant is surgery done to remove the diseased heart from a person and replace it with a healthy one from an organ donor.
Heart valve repair or replacement surgery is a treatment option for valvular heart disease. When heart valves become damaged or diseased, they may not function properly. Conditions which may cause heart valve dysfunction are valvular stenosis and valvular insufficiency (regurgitation).
The Holter monitor is a type of electrocardiogram (ECG) used to record an ECG tracing of the heart continuously for 24 hours or longer.
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a small electronic device used to continuously monitor and help regulate potentially fast and life-threatening electrical problems with the heart.
Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are heart devices. They are surgically placed in people. Pacemakers are used to treat slow heart rhythms. ICDs stop dangerous, fast heart rhythms.
An inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a small device that can stop blood clots from going up into the lungs. The inferior vena cava is a large vein in the middle of your body. The device is put in during a brief surgery.
An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a type of therapeutic device. It helps your heart pump more blood. You may need it if your heart is unable to pump enough blood for your body.
Many people have surgically implanted cardiac devices. These devices include pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators or ICDs. Pacemakers can help treat slow heart rhythms, and ICDs stop dangerous rapid heart rhythms.
