Nutrition during competition
Professionals consume their components very often according to a nutrition plan. The plan should be held relatively open, so that the individual and changing needs can be taken into account. We have briefly summarized the usual tips for you.
- Energy need: plan approx. 60-80 g carbohydrates per hour. Bars, sports drinks and gels, are the most common sources. Bars usually deliver approx. 20-30 g carbohydrates per unit. Sports drinks usually deliver approx. 45 g carbohydrates per bottle (750 ml) and a Sponser gel in the tube delivers approx. 50 g carbohydrates. I.e. in order to get to the 60-80 g carbohydrates, the individual sources have to be skilfully combined with each other.
- The liquid need is individual and should be adjusted according to your thirst. It is mainly determined by intensity and temperature. Altitude, airstream and cool temperatures can reduce your symptoms.
- The longer the effort is, the more important is the electrolyte balance, respectively the replacement of salts, which get lost by sweating. During multi-day races as well as when temperatures are very high, it makes sense to take additional electrolytes. Sponser recommends to take approx. 2 units of Salt Caps per hour of activity, in addition to the ususal sports drink.
- Caffeine preparations are successfully used in endurance sports. They help in case of motivation and energy crisis. SPONSER offers many different products for a targeted supplementation i.e. Activator ampoules, Power Gums and Gels.
- In case of a multi-day race, ensure sufficient protein intake. At breakfast, during and after finishing the race, the focus should be on products with high protein content. Appropriate Sponser products are the following: Whey Protein for breakfast, Ultra Pro after approx. 4-5 hours on the track as well as Pro Recovery for immediate regeneration after finishing. Protein Smoothies or Pre&After are also ready-to-use protein drinks, which can be consumed right after the finishing line.
- After the finishing line, the focus will be on the formation of new glycogen storage for the following day. 1-2 portions Carbo Loader should be taken during the evening, which help to build-up your glycogen storages for the next day challenge.

Jason Bateman has made a pretty good living as The Normal Guy.
Sure, he first got famous playing Ricky Schroder's "bad boy" friend from military school on the sitcom "Silver Spoons," but since then he's specialized in being the calm, rational center around whom insanity ceaselessly orbits. What I like to call the Andy Travis roles. The culmination of this was, of course, Michael Bluth on "Arrested Development," and Bateman has carried this persona over to his big-screen work to both comic ("Horrible Bosses") and dramatic ("The Gift") effect.
When it came time for Bateman to follow in the footsteps of fellow brown-haired sitcom stars Zach Braff and John Krasinski and direct a feature, he opted to subvert this image and play a jerk, albeit a jerk with a heart of gold, in "Bad Words." That movie wasn't very good, and in his second starring-and-directing vehicle, "The Family Fang," he's back to playing the sort of fellow who's only problems are (a) the eccentrics who complicate his life and (b) the fact that he's just too darned nice.
"The Family Fang" is based on a best-selling and acclaimed 2011 novel by Kevin Wilson, and one gets the impression it had more bite on the page. It's about siblings Annie (Nicole Kidman) and Baxter (Bateman), who, as children, were forced to participate in public performance-art stunts staged by their parents Caleb and Camille (Christopher Walken and Maryann Plunkett now, Jason Butler Harner and Kathryn Hahn in flashbacks). You know, fun stuff like entering young Baxter in a child beauty pageant for girls, or making the kids play a song called "Kill All Parents" in Central Park.
Understandably alienated as adults, Annie is a successful but troubled actress and Baxter is, of course, a successful but troubled writer. (As is typical for writer in movies, his first book was a hit but his second was a disappointment.) After a bizarre head injury, Baxter is taken in by Caleb and Camille, and Annie joins him for support. But when the old folks disappear, leaving hints of violence, Annie is convinced it's just another one of their zany pranks and sets out to prove it.
The potential is here for a scathing, morbidly funny examination of artistic pretension, lousy parenting, and dysfunction in general. But without any edge to the direction or the performances, it comes off as a poor man's "The Royal Tenenbaums." Even Walken, his trademark hair in full flower, feels restrained and softened despite playing a risible, self-centered schmuck.
Some of the period flashback scenes edge toward the sort of audience discomfort "The Family Fang" needs in order to make an impact. Ultimately, though, the movie is as gun shy about confronting the implications of the traumas it depicts as Caleb and Camille are about recognizing the damage they caused as parents.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 21, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Actian Corporation and Versant Corporation (Nasdaq:VSNT), both industry leaders in real-time information management, announced today that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement (the "Actian Acquisition Agreement") pursuant to which Actian will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Versant for $13.00 per share in cash for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $37 million. Versant's Board of Directors unanimously approved the Actian Acquisition Agreement and authorized termination of Versant's previously announced merger agreement with UNICOM Systems, Inc. ("Unicom") in accordance with the terms of that agreement. Actian's $13.00 per share cash purchase price represents a premium of approximately 13% over the $11.50 per share price contemplated by the prior merger agreement with Unicom, and a 32% premium over Versant's closing price of $9.85 per share on the last trading day before announcement of the prior agreement with Unicom.
"Versant and Actian have complementary businesses," said Bernhard Woebker, Versant's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe we can leverage our combined strength in managing complex information in environments that demand high performance to lead in the business intelligence and analytics market. This merger will also deliver premium value and liquidity to Versant's shareholders."
"We are very pleased to join forces with Versant to create a dynamic platform of data management capabilities to help all our customers extract maximum business value from the ever increasing growth in data. Many of the world's most successful companies are demanding ever more powerful and more complex data management solutions to stay ahead. Today we have leadership with innovations such as the record breaking Vectorwise analytics database and combined with Versant we have exciting plans to help data focused companies become even more successful," said Steve Shine, Actian's Chief Executive Officer.
Prior to entering into the Actian Acquisition Agreement, Versant terminated its previous merger agreement with Unicom and, in accordance with that agreement, Versant will pay a termination fee of $750,000. The Actian Acquisition Agreement provides for the merger of Versant with a subsidiary of Actian, and the transaction is currently expected to close in Versant's first fiscal quarter ending January 31, 2013. Following completion of the transaction, Versant will be wholly owned by Actian and its stock will no longer trade on the NASDAQ.
The closing of the merger under the Actian Acquisition Agreement is subject to customary conditions, including the approval of Versant's shareholders and a covenant that Versant's combined cash and qualified accounts receivable at closing not fall below a certain threshold.
RBC Capital Markets, LLC is serving as Versant's financial advisor with respect to the transaction and Fenwick & West LLP is serving as Versant's legal counsel.

Topic tags/keywords: jpm-13cs jet planer dw735 dewalt dw735x
Im aware of the potential blade issues with the dewalt, but the specs on each make it seem that the dewalt is the superior planer. They're both 15 amps,, but the jet only does 4500 rpm while the dewalt does 10000. The jet is 1.5 hp, but the dewalt is 2.0. I would be buying a "like new" jet with an extra set of blades for about 175.00 more than I can eat a dewalt (with outfeed tables and extra set of knives). Is the jet more expensive because of the cabinet (and the cost of shipping), or is there something that I'm missing? I happen to already have the mobile base for the dewalt (purchased it for another application).
Thanks in advance!

I know this was posted a few months ago, but in case you haven't made your decision or if someone else comes looking…
The JET is more expensive because it's a stationary unit with an induction motor. The motor is separate from the top of the unit, and while still a bit noisy, it runs more quiet than the lunchbox planers. The unit is going to be much easier to work on if something goes wrong with it. Most likely the thing that will put a planer completely out of commission is the motor going bad, and if that happens, replacing the motor should put you right back in business. This JET can also be wired to run on 220v if needed.
The DeWalt – and lunchbox planers in general – are cheaper as they have a universal motor. This makes them more convenient, but one major flaw to these types of motors is that they are NOISY, the DeWalt735 is obnoxiously loud even with hearing protection on. Not a huge deal if you have a shop away from others, but if you have neighbors in tight quarters then that can be a problem. The other issue is that the unit is much harder to work on: if the motor goes bad and is out of warranty, it's essentially a disposable unit. As far as I'm aware, the DW735 cannot be rewired to 220v either. One other thing about the 735: the standard package does NOT include the extension tables, which is highly recommended for longer boards or to avoid snipe. This will add to the cost.
As far as specs, I wouldn't pay them 'too' much mind, both planers cut very well and so long as the infeed/outfeed tables are properly adjusted, snipe should be minimal / nonexistent.

IMO I wouldn't classify the 735 as disposable, the motor can be replaced, whether that is economical is not known at the moment. This come up a lot, but, I've not as of yet heard of one failing that was properly maintained. Nor would I say it's hard to work on, at all, I put a Shelix cutterhead in mine and it was a piece of cake to do. As for noise, yes, I'd have to agree. I measured mine with the HSS cutterhead, 91 dB. With the Shelix cutterhead, 85 dB, 4 times quieter to the point that you can get away with not wearing ear protection. And don't know that not being able to wire it for 220V is a negative, 110V outlets are much more plentiful then 220V outlets.

The 735 came to market at a tricky pricepoint. 700 for the planer, add the stand and extension tables and a few spare sets of blades and you're well over 1000. For that price you have to consider used stationary planers.

I've learned to not buy Jet. The company positions the tools according to marketing and profits. The quality on my mortiser and drill press are not very good, and the hassles with delivery and returns and re-orders I don't want to experience again. Design and use are not as good as I'd expect for the price.

The 735 came to market around 2003-4 at about the mid $400 price point. I bought one on sale for right around $400 back then. Lowes has it right now for $569. Amazon $559. Home Depot $539. But hey, where's the $700 coming from? This $1000?
Add the tables +$50. The Stand +$100. Still +$300 shy of $1000.
Non sale price seems to float around $649 but for that it usually comes with the tables and an extra set of knives. Even seen it for that with the table.
Personally I think $649 is too high for it, but would I buy one for that price? Maybe. It does that good of job.
Go to the Post Office. Get a Moving Kit. Take the Lowes coupon in it to Lowes or Home Depot who will honor it and get an additional %10 off.
I hardly never if ever pay current selling price…

This is a strange pairing. The Dewalt is a fine planer, but by the time you add a stand and the tables, you are over $700. That is a lot for a lunchbox planer.
The other thing, the Jet cutterhead turns at a lower speed, but can feed at only 10 ft. per minute. With 13,500 Cuts per minute off the cutterhead, that gives you 112.5 Cuts Per Inch.

Hey Paul, then add a Shelix cutterhead which cost about the same as I paid for the planer. :-)
There's a lot to be said said about stationary induction motor planers, don't get me wrong I don't dislike them. Having used them like the Delta 15", if someone were to give me a choice, free 15" stationary or free 735 with Shelix, 735 no doubt. Just does a better job overall, but I'm focused on quality not quantity. So if the 15" can do it faster, that's not really a factor for me.
Now stationary verses 735 without Shelix? I'd take the stationary. Sell it, buy a 735 and Shelix cutterhead with the money. :-D
I like big machines, but after 8 years I'm still sold on this lunchbox planer.

Paul, don't know where you got your numbers from for the 735 but they're not quite right. The cutterhead spins at 10,000 RPM and it's a 3 knife so that's 30,000 cuts per minute and does not change speed with feed rate.
It has two feed rates, for roughing 26ft/min, finishing 14ft/min. Doing the math that equates to roughing 96 cuts per inch, finishing 178 cuts per inch (DeWalt says 179). That's right out of the manual and I believe also printed on the feed rate selector label.
And also, I did some product testing using different designed cutterheads and knives for the 735 for DeWalt and it's the shear angle that the knives are set at that also effects the finish. Not just the RPM's, number of knives, and feed rate etc. The 735 has a different shear angle then most which is a double edged sword. It provides the excellent finish but if the hardness of the knives is not uniform across their length can cause the early nicks in the knives that some people encounter. Myself included. Hence the Shelix, got tired of dealing with it but not enough to replace the planer.

it's not what you say...
the sign affixed to the top of the "wet floor" pylon reads, "caution falling ice." seriously, a sign printed off a word doc, with point size of maybe 48? the building manager might as well just come out and chuck ice cubes at people passing by, because clearly, he doesn't care if you get hit.
this one is located at the building next to the previous picture. the building manager here saw the puny type of the sign next door and thought, "uh-uh. not on my sidewalk." so he made his type huge. i mean, HUGE! but is shouting all you need to deliver your message?
obviously not. if you really want to show people you care, try adding a little color. as for the underline, well, that sends the clear message, "i really don't want your noggin to get split open by frozen water." thank you, caring building manager. thank you.
ah, hey! now we're getting somewhere! no longer just some temporary signage, this one lets passers-by know falling ice isn't just something that may happen today - it can happen ANYTIME. july, for instance.
this building manager follows the whole "repetition" angle to appear extra sympathetic. caution! caution! it seems unnecessary, but he's only doing it for me, and i appreciate that.
this building manager tried the repetition thing too, but he also added the address of the building, as if to say, "i care for your well-being. me - at 200 north dearborn street. me." see what happened there? it's no longer about the pedestrians, it's all about the building manager getting credit. crying out for personal glory doesn't work in marketing. and it doesn't work in warning signs either.
here, we have what amounts to poor messaging. you could see the strategic brief now:
target: consumers who walk
key message: consumers should use caution
support: ice may be hurling through the air toward the consumer's skull
i would argue that the support point is, in fact, the key message.
of course, there are dozens of signs which state there is falling ice, but none tell you what to do - at least until this one. yes. "watch out." i think the extra wording helps convey concern and more importantly, clear direction. now, if only there was a sign telling me WHERE to look.
ah yes, up. thank you.
this is one of my favorites. the sign contains color and structure, indicating forethought. but it also has some haphazardous elements to it which gives the message urgency - the combination of ALL CAPS, Initial Caps, and no caps. and my favorite, the extra sticker on the bottom which just reads "falling ice," repeating the last part of the larger sign like a parrot. go on. read it in a parrot voice. it totally works.
this one sends mixed messages. on one hand, it has more infrastructure than any other signage, with the wooden horse painted bright white and red. on the other hand, the sign itself is so very small. it grabs attention through the color and overall size, but ultimately, doesn't deliver the message believably.
now here's one that's believable. it doesn't just SAY there's falling ice, it SHOWS it, with a hole in the sign that, one assumes, was created by a falling shard. a chilling message.
the building manager here wasn't content with the simple signage he had - so he added props (snow) in order to make the message more impactful. it's an old trick, but it's a goodie.
ok, this is almost getting to be an art instillation. what is the second sign lying on the ground supposed to symbolize? does the standing one represent all who heed its message, while the fallen one represents those who did not exercise caution? or was there a large piece of ice that had fallen, knocking down the one sign? why did it not sustain damage? oh, this is all too complicated.
see, this is really the holy grail here. it shows genuine concern for those who might be in danger, with a perfect balance of size (note the large type, with caution highlighted), props (just enough snow to let you know what season it is and thus, why the warning should be heeded), forethought (a well-printed sign in a steel frame says this building manager was thinking about you long before you headed down his sidewalk), and artistic license. (was the snow necessary on the words "falling ice"? no. but sometimes, what makes a communication special isn't logical. it just FEELS right.)
this is where i got hit on the head by ice.

A lot of bloggers don't go the distance. But you did.
Then again, that's why I don't bother going to a lot of bloggers' sites and instead, just drop in on 15 ideas.
For which I was rewarded by your cavalcade of signage.
Bless you Kevin. I am far more educated for it.

thanks for your comments. and thanks to all the building managers who refused to dither about in "me-too-isms" and instead forged their own unique messages. the world could use a bit more of that.

Microsoft champions the robot
RoboChamps is a new robotics programming league that removes those barriers to entry and makes robotics available to a broad audience. RoboChamps is based in simulation, which removes the barriers to entry of availability, cost and deep hardware knowledge.
RoboChamps is built on top of the simulation functionality provided in Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 2008, which means that participants can program their robots using the .NET languages they are already familiar with.
In addition, a simulated robotics competition provides the opportunity for participants to engage in rich simulation environments and use robots that are unattainable via other means. For example, RoboChamps participants have the opportunity to navigate a rescue robot in a city struck by disaster, program a car to drive autonomously in a traffic filled city and drive a rover on the surface of Mars ̵1; all scenarios that would be financially prohibitive for most individuals.
RoboChamps is a league and like most leagues has a season that is comprised of a series of competitions. In this league, these competitions are referred to as Challenges. These provide participants with a rich 3d, physics-enabled environment and a robot, and challenge participants to solve tasks in an environment-specific scenario.
The RoboChamps season culminates in an end-of-season tournament. The top four in the tournament will participate in a finals event where they will take their simulation code and apply it to real robots.

Feelin' Groovy in Woodstock
We spent Halloween week in New York and it was T-Bone's third trip there this year. If I never have to fly with a cranky 20 month old kid again it'll be too soon, but once we were there we had some great moments. Grandma took us to the Museum of Natural History and T thought the whale hanging from the ceiling was the coolest airplane he'd ever seen.
I was devastated that we had to leave our Tim Burton-esque 'hood and forego our usual spooky festivities, but I was glad to be able to smell autumn in Central Park and see the fiery foliage along the Palisades Parkway as we drove up to Woodstock to spend the holiday with my dear friend, Julie, and her beautiful family.
Julie and I have known each other since we stalked the Beastie Boys together in junior high and she has always had a little bit of fairy dust in her pockets at all times. It's hard to explain. You just get the feeling that where Julie lives, there's bound to be a rabbit hole out back that will drop you right into some magical alternate universe. She just sold her first children's book and I was privileged enough to see an early version. It's going to be massive.
When T and I got in the car to drive to Woodstock, I was positively vibrating with anxiety. Family drama, final edits, travel with a jet lagged Wild Thing baby…I felt about ready to fold. We left Julie's house the next day and I was set right again. T ate caramel apples and partied with a marauding crew of kids in the afternoon and then we trick-or-treated in the rain, which he thought was the most hilarious thing ever.
T never did wear his lion costume. He stayed in his skeleton jammies all day. He seemed so happy that I didn't want to screw it up.
Scott had to stay behind to play a show at the Hammerstein Ballroom. He had his own Halloween fun. He said the crowd was awesome and he's always glad when he gets to wear his big stuffed insect costume.
The guys also played two nights of Letterman while we were there. And, Oh, the irony…. just before I went to sit in the Letterman green room, my fantastically courageous and brilliant friend Nell Scovell published this article in Vanity Fair about the unfriendly attitude toward women writers in late-night-tv and particularly the hostile work environment at (you guessed it) good ol' Dave's. It's a fair and witty and solution-oriented article and I'm just so proud of that gal I could cry.

The main misconception about software testing is that the job itself is so simple that anyone can do it. And while it is true that in certain circumstances an app which needs to be put through its paces is not especially taxing to test effectively, the reality is that anything more complicated than free non-critical software that is bundled with an operating system requires a lot of skill to accurately assess.
It is because of this that the market for software testing is actually growing, with more apps requiring investigation and greater pressures being put on testers to weed out bugs and make worthwhile suggestions.
The belief that testing software, or managing entire teams responsible for this kind of work, can be achieved with ease is misleading at best and disrespectful at worst. So here are some of the skills required not only to manage the process but also to be an effective leader of software testing services.
People Skills
Without the ability to effectively handle staff, it is impossible to keep any kind of team afloat, let alone hope to lead it to success. And it is not just necessary to hire the most qualified people for specific roles and then leave them to their own devices: you will be expected to delegate tasks, balance the workload and coach individuals in need of guidance and in doing so build trust with those around you.
This feeds into the importance of being able to communicate and collaborate with every member of the team, as well as others involved in the development process. From database admins to support and HR workers, the only way to facilitate effective testing is by joining forces, making compromises and negotiating when necessary. These are all things that the Bug Finders professional software testers must accomplish to make any progress.
Clear Thinking
Having an understanding of the testing process is immensely useful for anyone in a leadership role. But it is also key to think critically and outside of the box to come up with solutions to problems and be objective enough to see the other side of an argument.
This will make it much easier to smooth over obstacles that arise during testing and ensure that projects are completed on time rather than being allowed to descend into chaos and confusion.

Most Helpful Girl
I don't want to be rude and have my phone on me when i'm on a date. I'm not one of those girls who's on a date with someone and looking at GaG, texting friends (during the date).. so i will put it away in my handbag.
If i'm waiting for an important call i will notify the person (beforehand) as it's just good to know, and i can get that out of the way and not feel bad about it. Not telling him sooner then later, you know.
By all means we could be having a great conversation and my phone rings.. that would suck, but if i told him beforehand, i would hope he'd understand.

Hugh Laurie, offering up an abashed suburban version of the jaded rascal appeal he had on House, plays David, a middle-aged New Jersey husband and father who is drawn into an affair with the gorgeous 24-year-old daughter (Leighton Meester) of his two best friends. What starts off as a neighborhood scandal becomes a liberating thing for everyone involved — an attitude that seems as if it's trying to be oh so European, and might have been had the director, Julian Farino, not been working so hard to convince us of the Deep Inner Goodness of everyone involved. Catherine Keener, as Laurie's wife, suffers with spiky relish, and Meester is charming without ever convincing us that she digs this older dude. C+

Intelematics Australia, operators of the SUNA Traffic Channel, has announced a partnership with Ninemsn that allows motorists in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast to access live traffic updates on the Internet.
Using Ninemsn maps (powered by Microsoft Bing), potential hazards such as slow-moving traffic and motor vehicle accidents will be seen as small directional icons, and roadworks and road closures are marked with icons. Live Web pictures of road conditions will be available on ninemsn simply by clicking the traffic camera icon displayed on the map.
Adam Game, CEO of Intelematics Australia, says that Ninemsn is the perfect platform for the company to launch a live traffic information feed for its viewers. "Ninemsn approached Intelematics to develop a way to bring live traffic updates to their online readers," he told GoodGearGuide. "It has taken about three months to build a dedicated live traffic feed for Ninemsn and Microsoft Bing's map service."
The real-time traffic information comes courtesy of the SUNA Traffic Channel and is then overlayed onto the Microsoft Bing map service. The SUNA Traffic Channel provides warnings about accidents, traffic congestion, road closures and road works to compatible GPS devices in Australia. "The SUNA Traffic Channel is part of a 24/7 service that applies to our GPS customers as well as those using the maps system on Ninemsn," said Game.
The SUNA service relays traffic information by using in-road sensors, specialist vehicles that monitor congestion areas and CCTV cameras located throughout covered cities. SUNA Traffic Channel also collects real-time traffic data by using traffic light infrastructure in all major cities in Australia.
"We have probing vehicles that collect data from congestion areas and these are usually commercial vehicles like taxis and delivery cars that are travel at a high volume," said Game. "These are particularly useful for collecting information where there is no infrastructure from local road authorities, like Sydney's freeways."
Game said Intelematics Australia has plans to bring a similar live traffic update service to smartphones, especially those that utilise turn-by-turn GPS technology.
The Ninemsn traffic service is available now in Australia and can be viewed on ninemsn's Web site.

If the dark mornings, cropping temperatures and the slight inkling of an on-coming cold has you feeling miserable, prepare to be enlightened.
This week a flash mob of dancers wearing an array of brightly-coloured trouser suits paid homage to the US' first female presidential candidate by gathering in New York City's Union Square to throw some shapes to Justin Timberlake's single Can't Stop The Feeling.
Choreographed by dancer and filmmaker Celia Rowlson-Hall and Crishon Landers – who interpreted political messages though dance moves such as a sign for equality and a first for Blake Lives Matter – the dance is described as 'a rallying cry for the presidential candidate'.
Last week, Rowlson-Hall posted an advert for the flash mob on Instagram calling 'all dancers, movers, and shakers of all ethnicities, ages and genders' to celebrate 'badass boss Hillary Clinton'.
In a press release about the video, she explained the flash mob was 'an effort to dance Hillary all the way to the White House and fight the bigotry and vitriol of Donald Trump's campaign with love, unity, and community."
Watch the full video of the dance below:

Coast Guard hosts meeting to decrease oil spills in New Bedford harbor
The Coast Guard, Massachusetts' Department of Environmental Protection, the New Bedford Harbor Development Council and the Fairhaven Harbormaster agreed that 95 percent of the oil pollution in the harbor is caused by about 5 percent of the vessels using it. For two hours Tuesday, the organizations led a meeting targeting those who illegally dump oil into the harbor. However, the fishermen who attended the meeting likely aren't the ones polluting. "As soon as somebody gets caught and they get hit with the a fine, that's going to turn some people's heads," Ed Anthes Washburn, director of the port and HDC, said. click here to read the story 08:50

ZEITOUN tells the true and captivating story of the Zeitoun family of New Orleans during and after Hurricane Katrina. Two days before the hurricane, Mrs. Zeitoun and the Zeitoun children evacuated to Baton Rouge, while Mr. Zeitoun, owner of a house painting business, stayed in the city to oversee his own property and that of his clients. A week after the hurricane, Mr. Zeitoun was arrested and imprisoned for "looking suspicious." He fell into a "black hole" in the prison system. His wife and children, away from the city, knew only that his daily phone calls at noon suddenly stopped.
|ZEITOUN by Dave Eggers
To help us understand better what it was like in New Orleans during and after Hurricane Katrina, we invited three Hurricane Katrina survivors to speak as a panel with our three LIEP reading classes. Each panelist had a unique experience:
- One panelist was isolated with her ill husband in an uptown home surrounded with flood waters
- Another panelist found herself on a rooftop with her two beloved dogs
- Our third panelist remained in the city to be with her hospitalized mother and was taken by helicopter to the New Orleans Convention Center, where people were crowded to await help without basic necessities
Each panelist spoke in turn, sometimes with emotion and tears, about her experience of Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent flood. Here are some of the most striking points in the panelists' stories:
- Reasons for remaining in the city: Each panelist personalized some of the frequently heard reasons for not evacuating: the huge difficulty (or impossibility) of transporting an ill loved one for hours in bumper-to-bumper traffic, the devotion to beloved animals for whom there were no evacuation facilities, the trust in decades-old houses that had withstood many hurricanes, the experience of having lived through hurricanes in the past.
- The flood: Seeing the flood water rise so swiftly when the levees gave way on the day AFTER the hurricane was a great shock. One panelist spoke of the "visceral feeling" of watching the water rush up her driveway, and another told us that there was no water in her house after the hurricane but that the flood waters rose 12 feet -- up to the gutter of the roof -- on the next day.
- Complete lack of certainty and information: All three panelists said that they were isolated from information sources. One panelist spoke of "the real uncertainty about what would happen from day to day," and another told us that her only source of information was her mother, who was watching the news reports in Virginia.
- MREs, or Meals Ready to Eat: One panelist brought items from an MRE, or Meal Ready to Eat, to show us. Some New Orleanians received MREs from the military after the hurricane.
- Destruction: One panelist made the destruction of the flood real to us by showing vivid photographs of her flooded home.
- Help from friends and neighbors: All three panelists insisted that help came, not from government agencies, but from friends helping friends and neighbors helping neighbors. One panelist and her ill husband were eventually rescued from their flood-surrounded home by friends. Another panelist banded together with neighbors for help. Our third panelist found that customers of her father's neighborhood store recognized her and took her under their wing at the Convention Center.
- Animals: One panelist said that it was "very painful to see elderly people forced to get into rescue boats but leave their animals behind to die." This panelist is pleased to have been part of the post-Hurricane Katrina lobbying group that has resulted in a Louisiana law requiring side-by-side evacuation of people and their animals.
- Deaths: The panelists spoke of their sadness whenever they thought of family members, friends, and neighbors who died not long after Hurricane Katrina because of the physical and emotional toll taken by the high level of stress.
- Preparedness: All three panelists spoke of the need for to be ready for an emergency. One panelist told us, "Save money. Be educated. Be prepared."
Hearing these intense personal stories by three people who lived through the days and weeks after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans made the storm and its aftermath very real to us.
A huge thank-you to our three panelists for sharing these personal experiences with us.
Our next post will tell you about a visit with Dr. Bethany Brown of Loyola's Criminal Justice Department. Dr. Brown will speak with us about the sociological aspects of Hurricane Katrina to help us understand how people respond in crisis situations.

1755 (MDCCLV) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar and a common year starting on Sunday of the Julian calendar, the 1755th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 755th year of the 2nd millennium, the 55th year of the 18th century, and the 6th year of the 1750s decade. As of the start of 1755, the Gregorian calendar was 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar, which remained in localized use until 1923.

- July 17 – In a convoy of ships from Great Britain, returning to India for the East India Company, the lead ship Dodington wrecks at Port Elizabeth, losing a chest of gold coins from Robert Clive, worth £33,000. In 1998, 1,400 coins are offered for sale, and in 2002 a portion is given to the South African government.[3]
- July 25 – The decision to deport the Acadians is made, during meetings of the Nova Scotia Council meeting in Halifax. From September 1755-June 1763, the vast majority of Acadians are deported to one of the following British Colonies in America: Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. Contrary to popular belief, no Acadians are sent to Louisiana. Those sent to Virginia are refused and then sent on to Liverpool, Bristol, Southampton and Penryn in England. In 1758 the Fortress of Louisbourg falls, and all of the civilian population of Isle Royal (Cape Breton Island) and Isle St. Jean (Prince Edward Island) are repatriated to France. Among them were several thousand Acadians, who had escaped the deportation by fleeing into those areas. Very few Acadians successfully escape the deportation, and do so only by fleeing into some of the northern sections of present day New Brunswick. The event inspires Longfellow to write the epic poem Evangeline.

Anti Aging (Anti Wrinkles Skin care)
Wish your skin looked younger? Aging can change skin's appearance as early as your 25th birthday or by later in midlife, depending on your habits. You cannot control certain factors, like falling estrogen hormone levels that lead to sagging skin or the genetics that give you a particular bone structure. But there are also plenty of external influences on how your skin ages — and the right anti-aging care can help blunt their damage.
"When our patients first see signs of aging — fine lines, brown marks, smile lines, crow's feet — is when they become better known about anti-aging care," says anti-aging skin care expert & cosmetic dermatologist Dr Rinky Kapoor, who is currently based in Mumbai, India. "The good news is that it's never too late to respond to what you see."
As we grow older, we see and feel certain changes in our skin. The skin becomes drier, more wrinkled, and spots and growths appear.
Some of these skin changes are natural, unavoidable, and harmless. Many of these skin problems can be prevented. Most of these skin problems can be addressed by therapies now available.
What are wrinkles?
As skin ages, collagen and elastin, fibers that keep the skin firm, weaken. The skin looks loose and lax, becomes thinner, and loses fat, and gravity adds to all this sagging the skin so that it looks less plump and smooth. Sun exposure, cigarette smoking and heredity also determine the tendency for wrinkles.
Wrinkles can be prevented by adequate sun protection. Sun exposure as a child or teenager makes a big difference to the appearance of the skin at the age of 30, 40, or 50. If you have already sun-damaged your skin, you will still benefit from beginning sun protection as an adult. It's never too late.
What are the treatments for wrinkles and aging skin?
1) Applications: Retinoic acid improves the surface texture of the skin, reduces irregular pigmentation, and increases dermal collagen if applied daily for several months.
Alpha hydroxy acids also show promise in reversing some of the effects of the sun.
Newer applications like growth factors, peptides, hyaluronic acid , botanicals ghave been found to work in early stages and for maintainence.The list is endless.
2) Fillers: Fixed and formed creases caused by facial expressions such as squinting, frowning or smiling can be treated by using soft tissue "dermal fillers" such as collagen or fat. These dermal fillers are injected into the skin under wrinkles and scars to puff out creases or scars.
3) Botulinum toxin: A naturally produced toxin, botulinum (Botox(tm)), can also be injected to "relax" the small muscles and thus eliminate dynamic expression lines (frown lines and crow's feet – lines around the eyes.).
4) Fat folds such as those under the chin, around the waist and hips, and on the thighs, can be removed by liposuction under local anaesthesia or by injecting lipolytic solutions locally.
5) Microdermabrasion: Removing the uppermost layer of the skin.
6) Chemical peels: Chemical solutions applied to the skin to peel off upper damaged skin layers to reveal fresher skin below.
7) Laser & light treatments:
– Intense pulse light (Photofacial) –Needs repeated treatments to sustain effect.
– Fractional resurfacing: Ablative laser like the carbon dioxide laser are most effective. They are capable of achieving total transformation with a few sessions and followed by yearly maintenance sessions. Downtime of a week is expected, but if performed appropriately the side effects are minimal.
– Radiofrequency techniques: (eg. Theramge, Aluma) are available which can help achieve good tightening of the skin,
8) Ultrasonic Facelift devices like the ULTHERA, which are the latest in non surgical skin lift procedures requiring one or two sessions only, but are hugely expensive,
9) Volume enhancement with volumising fillers in case of the under-eye hollows, temporal hollows and the cheek volume loss.
- None of these remedies can guarantee the appearance of youthful skin, but they can improve the overall appearance of your skin. .. Generally a combination of two or more different kinds of treatments is required for best results. All procedures need to be followed by maintainence of the skin for long lasting results.This will be advised by your dermatologist.
- While the above mentioned treatments are quite effective, a patient might want to for a surgical procedure, especially in later stages for better and permanent results. These surgical procedures include- face lift, in which facial wrinkles are removed through the tightening of the face-skin; platysmaplasty, in which the sagging skin on the neck is made taut; blepharoplasty, which is performed for the treatment of under eye bags; implants for chin and cheek to add volume, etc.
Before you undertake any home-treatment or surgery, discuss your options with your dermatologist.
What are the features of dry skin problems associated with aging?
As we age, our skin becomes drier. Severe flaky, itchy and cracked skin may be a sign of a more serious problem.
Milder cases of dry skin can be managed with a moisturizer used immediately after bathing, while the skin is still damp.
Petrolatum, urea, alpha hydroxy acids, lactic acid, or ammonium lactate help reduce scaling and help the skin hold water.
Bathing less often, using milder soaps, or soaking in a tub of warm water without soap can help relieve dry skin.
What are the other changes in the skin associated with aging?
Skin growths and pigment spots become more common as we age.
- Actinic keratosis.
- Squamous cell carcinoma.
- Basal cell carcinoma.
- Malignant Melanoma is a less common but more serious form of skin cancer. This skin cancer usually appears as a dark brown or black mole-like growth with irregular borders and variable colors. Melanoma can spread to other organs and can be fatal.
- Lentigenes – These flat, brown areas are caused by the sun and usually appear on the face, hands, back and feet. Surgical resurfacing treatments are available.
- Seborrheic keratoses
- Cherry angiomas – These are harmless, small, bright red raised bumps created by dilated blood vessels. They occur in more than 85 percent of middle-aged and elderly people, usually on the trunk. Radiofrequency, laser surgery, or other surgical therapies remove these spots.
- Skin Diseases – Some skin diseases more common in older people are shingles (herpes zoster), seborrheic dermatitis, varicose veins, and leg ulcers. See herpes zoster, seborrheic dermatitis, veins.
- Bruising (Purpura) – Black and blue marks or bruises, particularly on the arms and legs are usually a result of the skin becoming thinner with age and sun damage. Loss of fat and connective tissue weakens the support around blood vessels, making them more susceptible to injury. Bruising sometimes is caused by medications that interfere with blood clotting.
- Itching

George Soros stands in stark contrast to President Donald Trump. Forbes magazine ranks George Soros as the 19th wealthiest man on planet earth. But for some reason, Donald Trump is not included on the list. It seems that Donald Trump may not even be a billionaire after all. It seems a little odd that he may not have the wealth that he brags about.
But let's just take a look at what these men do with their money. A few years back, George Soros swooped in to donate $35 million to the state of New York. The money was and at supplementing a federal stimulus program for poor families during a difficult economic time. The federal program matched state funds 4-to-1. This allowed the state of New York to give $200 extra per child to families in need at the outset of the school year. Essentially, George Soros bought school supplies for millions of children across New York State.
Donald Trump does something completely different with his money. He invests in foreign companies, hires foreign workers and has his goods made in foreign countries. He then hires a team of lawyers to hide his wealth from the federal government so that he can dodge paying taxes. And with the extra money that he saves, he sets up failing companies like Trump University and Trump Steaks. He is even being sued by the attendees of Trump University because those people discovered that his business was a scam. Visit Project Syndicate to learn more about George.
His hard-working Jewish father liquidated his family's assets in order to dodge the Nazis during the outset of World War II in Budapest. His father changed his family name to Soros in order to avoid identification as being a Jewish family.
Anti-Semitism was rampant across mainland Europe at the conclusion of World War II. George Soros's family escaped this persecution by relocating to London. This is where George Soros would go to school and create his wealth. After working his way through college, Soros made billions on the British stock markets. He made a giant splash and became a hedge fund celebrity after making $1 billion in one day. He turned nothing into billions. Read more on BigThink about George Soros
Donald Trump, on the other hand, inherited his wealth from his father. And while Trump went to military school, he received for deferments during the Vietnam War for bone spurs in his ankles. Trump claims that he built his entire empire on a $1 million loan from his father. It turns out that he inherited $200 million when his father died.

If you have a weak stomach, you might want to grab the Rennies before you read this tale of holiday woe. Guests at the Sentido Perissia hotel in Turkey are apparently wandering through the corridors 'like zombies' and projectile vomiting up the walls after an outbreak of sickness and diahorrea at the all-inclusive 5 star resort.
'It was like something from the Exorcist,' gasped one guest, before chucking up in a pot plant.
Six British holidaymakers are desperately trying to get home after the bug, which took hold yesterday, caused guests to be rushed to hospital with dehydration. The hotel is struggling to cope with the outbreak. There is, apparently, 'human waste' in the pool, and the restaurant is – as you might imagine – closed for the foreseeable future.
Thomas Cook has suspended booking to the stricken Vomit Towers for 10 days until they get to the bottom (sorry) of the problem. They're also sending in hygiene experts from the UK to investigate.
But guests say that Thomas Cook knew there was a virus going around in the hotel for two weeks and did nothing – and 100 holidaymakers are so incensed that they're planning to take them to court. They also say that guests were still being checked in as other guests were rushed to hospital, and that Thomas Cook are refusing to put affected holidaymakers on earlier flights.
'We were told it would pass in a day or so but this is not a 24 hour bug like Thomas Cook said' said sufferer Louise Carty. 'People are dropping like flies. The pool is closed on a daily basis because of ill people defecating in the water. Even when it does reopen it is closed within hours again because someone else has soiled it. We have tried to get flights out of here but they are either fully booked or outrageously expensive. We are desperate.'

- Don D.Great story, looking forward to my all inclusive holiday now. But on an unrelated matter, I'm hoping some smart person can help me with the spelling of Tennants? Tennints? Thanks for any help with this.
- Warwick H.should have had more sense than to book with Thomas Crook, used them once years ago but never again.

Changing DSG Transmission Fluid In Your Volkswagen Jetta And SAVE $$$
A excellent automotive tip for older engines is to attempt some engine oil quit leak. You can also pour a tiny quantity of oil into the filter prior to installing it. This will lessen the quantity of time your vehicle requires to regain proper oil pressure. No matter what brand you use or favor, oil breaks down due to internal heat and friction as does it's additive package hence why it wants replaced right after so a lot of miles. Often our lady hand grip isn't sufficient to steer clear of engine oil leaks from the drain plug. The hardest thing on an engine from a lubrication standpoint is the start off up. Initial point in the morning, all of the engine oil is sitting at the bottom of the oil pan, till the oil pump pushes the oil from the pan to the best of the motor. Soon after the oil has drained (about ten minutes), wipe the region around the filter port nicely, do not use any cleaning agents.
I have frequently wondered about oil changes (and I am notoriously horrible about obtaining them!) However, you actually produced me see how essential it genuinely is. My present car has an oil life percentage. Over the course of a year, that's $40 – assuming you drive 12,000 miles a year and adjust the oil every three,000 miles. Most vehicles indicate correct on best of the oil cap what weight of oil they advocate as effectively as in your owner's manual. If your automobile has an oil life monitoring program, never try to second-guess it. Realize how it performs and stick to its recommendations. If you only go to regional auto shops, you may be capable to ask to get on their mailing list when they send out offers. When car has been turned off once more and the oil has settled for 5 to 10 minutes, recheck the dipstick to make sure that the levels are where they need to be. There are different size oil wrenches available based on the diameter of the filter.
I have constantly believed that engine oil is significantly less expensive than a new engine, so regular oil adjustments make very good sense. FYI, I have been making use of oil filters in my cars that have a 'check valve' that prevents oil from draining out of the filter back to the oil pan. Synthetic-blend Oil: This oil is generally a mixture of synthetic and your fundamental standard oils. Servicing it requires you modify the 4.5-5L of fluid each 40,000 miles, change the filter.
Costs vary at rapid lube shops and can range from a $19.99 oil change unique to about $35. My policy is to verify the engine oil level when the engine is up to operating temperature but has been switched off for a minute or so (to let most oil drain back to the sump) and to look at its colour. Of course, there's absolutely nothing you can do if the engine blows up simply because you did not alter the oil usually enough… three,000 miles appears like a much better notion to me. Otherwise, the smell is most likely from burning oil you might have gotten on the engine compartment. Get rid of the wrench, and unscrew a couple of turns by hand, and let the oil drain from the filter.
As of right now my auto has about 133,000 miles on it and I can say that my car has lasted this extended due to preserving it effectively with timely oil changes. For the most element after the engine oil has warmed up to temperature, it operates at a 30w temperature. Just take a bit of oil on your finger and lube up the filter on the end you are screwing into the automobile. Complete-synthetic Oil: These oils are produced for higher-tech are created for longer-lasting efficiency in all the vital places, from viscosity index to protection against engine deposits. A pan to catch the utilized oil in, and a funnel and sturdy gallon jugs to transport it. I generally just take my automobile in for an oil change when the light comes on. I have heard although that …

The state Military Department has joined the ranks of state agencies eliminating jobs to balance their budgets.
Thirteen security guards at two armories will lose their jobs and a 14th vacant position will be eliminated so the department can pare $479,000 in personnel costs from its 1992 budget, Col. Howard S. Freedlander, the department spokesman, said.
Today, representatives from various state agencies were to meet with the affected employees to counsel them on benefits and possible jobs at other state agencies, such as the Division of Correction.

"Escape is the spiritual sequel to Gangland, an RTS/RPG hybrid mobster game from a few years back that passed most of us by like an X-Factor winner's career. This new game is set in the same city as the last title but expunges the Mafia connections for comic-book-style street brawls with a silly piece of sci-fi fluff stuck in its belly button. What starts out as an urban gangland story that wouldn't look out of place in any wannabe Grand Theft Auto clone mutates into vampire nonsense towards the end."

It's a funny story. Somehow I always end up in positions of responsibility.
I didn't think I was going to last long in the guild I was in and after the first week, I was immediately going to walk away because I wasn't satisfied at all with playing Shadow and I wanted to heal. I also wanted some more structure in raids in terms of assignments, strategy, and preparation which I wasn't receiving. It's one thing for players to look up the strategy and the plays. It's another level to have specific key roles given to players like which players are interrupting what Mind Flay tentacle or which healer is negating what roar when. Then I received an offer to help put a new guild together — One where I didn't have to make executive decisions anymore but I could apply my logistics and administration skills.
What a relief.
In the span of an afternoon, <Integrity> was formed. There is still much ground work to be done, but going 4/7 heroic in the span of a week is a good sign. We're on the hunt now for DPS players, but we'll consider every role including tanks and healers.
Personally, I'd love to see the addition of a Warlock, a Shadow Priest, a DPS Warrior, and a Holy Paladin.
This guy's the current pain point at the moment. We're directing poisoned players to drop off their pools to the north up on the little ramp and away from the web bridges. Tornado players are instructed to go south away from poison pools. However, when Elenthedre switches to bird form and starts casting her winds ability, we seem to be finding pools forming on our stack point on the boss's feet.
Now we have two moves to consider:
- Keep hammering home the point about accurate poison pool and purple tornado dropping, then pray we don't get hit.
- Or stack up somewhere first to ensure poison pools hit us and let the winds carry us into a different location before initiating defensive abilities.
I'm not quite sure if there's an option C. Hoping a solution works itself out next week. We first need to survive the several seconds of pools and tornados together. Then we need to ensure a successful move going from 1st platform to 2nd platform with minimal casualties. If we can do that, we can easily take Elerethe down. But that's our current challenge right now.
