The Scoliosis Sufferer
Anita Hall
(I am a lawyer and lecturer, and spend most of my working days at a computer). I was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 16, which I learnt to effectively manage for seven years with a combination of Iyengar yoga and swimming. My exercise regime went out the window when I commenced working full time as a trainee solicitor, and after nearly eight years of abandoned good intentions and computer work, the discomfort and pain were constant and had begun to interfere with everything, including sleep. I resolved that 'things had to change' and it was at this time that I heard about AGY from two very different sources. I was curious but skeptical when I signed up. It was in the first inversion in that first class I knew this was going to help. The pain was enough to bring me to the point of tears, but the relief in those tightest muscles along my spine and hips was almost instant. I left that class exhausted but invigorated. Continuing with AGY has helped to nearly eliminate the constant discomfort not only from the instant release of tension during class, but also through improving strength, muscle tone and posture. It's challenging, but the benefits have made it easy for me to stick with (the most consistent exercise regime I've started in the past nine years). Plus, it's as close to that childhood ambition of becoming a trapeze artist as I am likely to get!
The Master Yoga Instructor
Renae Stevens
I have enjoyed 13 years of teaching yoga as my full time occupation. I had a rare opportunity to study intensively under the daily supervision of a masterful teacher for four years. This gave me a firm foundation in Hatha Yoga and taught me three fundamental aspects for the successful development of advanced yoga practice. The first relates to a psychological perspective and can be described best as a loose, natural and lighthearted attitude (be sincere not serious, practice your buddha smile!). The other two relate to longevity within the physical discipline, and are essentially the prevention of physical injury through the practice of Bandha (co-activation of opposing muscles around a joint complex), and the prevention of energetic depletion through the practice of Pranayama (movement of vital energy via breath control and bandha). These invaluable yogic methods are keystones for health and vitality, and generally require years of dedicated, sustained daily training to master. Today, our time-poor modern lifestyles makes it challenging for most people to come to class daily. Our world is only getting faster, so the question arises how can yoga fit the 21st century yogi? I see AntiGravity® Yoga as a unique 'pre-yoga' system that can bridge the gap between the wisdom of ancient practices and contemporary living. This revolutionary technique, developed by Christopher Harrison, now offers the pure beginner a way to develop a sensory understanding of advanced yogic skills. AntiGravity® yoga uses a soft hammock apparatus, which is most celebrated for its ability to allow every beginner to safely experience inversions with zero joint compression in their first class. However this is not the only amazing benefit! Using the hammock in non-inversion asanas beginners also gain insight into the power and protection provided by bundhas as they rapidly build alignment awareness and proprioceptive neuromuscular control. The joy of teaching AGY is knowing that every student can access the incredible feeling of traction and lightness using the hammock to provide self-adjustments, regardless of ability. They can also experience transitioning with flow and freedom between postures which enhances integrated breath and movement, a fundamental pranayama principal in vinyasa practices. Students are able to use the hammock to refine the ability to monitor resistance in functional dynamic situations which reduces their risk of injury. Most importantly the AntiGravity® yoga philosophy of 'levity' provides an antidote to stress and allows people to embody the playfulness of childhood while learning the essential components of traditional hatha yoga. For my own longevity as a teacher, I have found the restorative effects of AGY to be a relief for my joints that have suffered from the repetitive floor movements in my full time teaching load. It has given me what I needed to keep teaching for years to come without wearing my own body out!
The Martial Artist
Kirsten Jackes
As a MARTIAL ARTIST (Japanese Jujitsu) I've seen great improvements in my core strength, muscle tone, balance, flexibility and even my grip strength! This has been a great boon for my ground-fighting work, and I'm generally feeling more grounded and balanced with other techniques, including my breathing. Initially I figured that of course it would improve my flexibility, but I hadn't expected the extra strength gains, streamlining and toning of my body - gotta be happy with that!. AG®Yoga leaves me with a happy endorphin high after every class!
The Computer User
Kirsten - Camp Hill
As a COMPUTER USER for eight (plus!) hours a day, I know of the ergonomic and postural issues that can affect desk-bound workers. It's only recently that I realised, hang on, I'm no longer getting those regular blinding headaches that I used to get - despite all the modifications I'd made to my working environment - and I can only put that down to one change in my lifestyle - I've been doing AG®Yoga for the last six months!
The Competitive Gymnast
Emma Slattery (20)
When i 'retired' after 15 years of competitive gymnastics, i knew it would be difficult to curb my desire for strength, flexibility and being upside down. i also quickly realised that going without these components day after day was beginning to take its toll on my body; in particular the 7 years of Acrobatic Gymnastics and having other gymnasts standing on or being supported by my body had left a marked effect on my back, shoulders and knees. My cousin suggested i try AntiGravity yoga, as it contains the mix of strength, flexibility and upside down i was so used to. I now do one AGY session and one strength/ tumbling session every week. I find the AGY helps me to increase my flexibility and reduce/ negate some of the wear on my body the the gymnastics causes. It has also helped me improve my posture and balance, as well as help me relax when im stressed about university. Its also great fun!

Yesterday we informed our community of the Heartbleed OpenSSL bug. In our blog post, we explained how this security issue impacted our service and what our users should know about the situation. We also built a tool to help our users start checking to see if their sites and services had reissued their certificates, so that users would know if it was safe to start updating passwords for those sites: https://lastpass.com/heartbleed
To help our users take action and protect themselves in the wake of Heartbleed, we've added a feature to our Security Check tool. LastPass users can now run the LastPass Security Check to automatically see if any of their stored sites and services were 1) Affected by Heartbleed, and 2) Should update their passwords for those accounts at this time.
The LastPass Security Check can be run from the LastPass Icon menu. Click the LastPass icon in the browser toolbar, click the Tools menu, and select the Security Check.
In the Security Check results, we alert you to sites affected by Heartbleed.
We will continue to update the Security Check recommendations based on which sites we have seen take action and where it is safe to update your passwords. We'll monitor the situation in general and keep our community posted.
If you're not using LastPass yet, now is the time to get started with organizing and managing your passwords, and use our tools to generate new passwords for your online accounts.
Update: April 10th, 2:29PM ET
Many users are still concerned about what the Heartbleed situation means for their LastPass master passwords. To further clarify, we do not see a need at this time for existing LastPass users to update their master passwords. That said, if you would prefer to, there is no harm in doing so. We continue to update our LastPass Security Check tool to provide you the latest information regarding potentially-impacted sites. Thanks to our community for the feedback and input.

I'm feeling very introspective this morning. Not sure if it's the week of rain or lack of sunny days that have brought it on, or maybe it's the many days in a row without my man that has made me pause and take a look inside but nonetheless...I'm going in.
If you know me in real life you know I don't talk about God all the time. I'm not super serious or uber religious. I don't carry my Bible with me everywhere I go...not that that's a bad thing. I'm just normal. Just like you.
I feel lately like I've got a blog identity crisis going on. Actually I've felt like this for some time. When I sit down to blog it's not about fluff anymore. It's not even about me necessarily. It's about faith and struggles and overcoming and I sit back sometimes and I read my words and I know they're not mine and I'll be honest it's a little weird.
It's very obvious to me this blog is His. I gave it up a while ago. I used to hold on tight. I used to write down my stats and worry about comments. I used to want to be liked and cared a LOT about what people thought of me. And it just dawned on me the other day I don't do that here anymore. I don't know how or when that shift happened, but it did. It just kind of evaporated. I've fought it a bit...actually talked about it with my blogging friends. Wondering why I couldn't write a fun and playful post. I used to. It use to come easy, but this is where I am right now.
With that said I've felt a feeling of oppression for a few months. It comes along with life's trials. Sometimes we take on others trials as our own too. It's what we do. There was the stresses of business...lost supplies, Honey's job trials, family members struggling with sickness...aging, normal mom worries, friends with major issues...the election, the shootings and then gloomy January hit and there is the fast etc... Just life.
And you know whenever you consecrate yourself, when you ask God to do a big thing in your life...that it's going to bring on the enemy. He is roaming the earth looking to devour us. You know this right? He is here to steal, kill and destroy us. And I see him doing that. It's everywhere you look. It even sneaks into our homes. I just happened to be in my Big Chick's room last night when she was showing me something on her iPad and the most vile repulsive images popped up onto her screen and I was in complete shock for a second. Like how can this be happening!?!? Thank God I was right there. Thank God He worked it out that we could get it deleted off and have a discussion. He had me there...to protect.
So as I sit here deep thinking, cause that's what I do, I'm reminded that we fight not against flesh and blood, but against principalities. We are in a war friends. The world is never going to feel right. We are never going to get what we need from it. It will leave you empty with a giant hole and the ONLY thing that can fill that hole is Jesus! The only thing that can protect our hearts and our lives and our future is a relationship with Him.
I'm not going to fight giving this blog over to Him. I'm not going worry about losing "followers". I would hate to think anyone is following me anyway. It's Him... Him I want to lead them to. I'm praying that will always be the mission here...in this space...His space!
Be a blessing.
956. honey's home
957. He directs my steps
958. we have authority over the enemy...praise GOD!
959. slumber party with my girls
960. a day to go nowhere

[Comic title: Making Things Difficult; Alt text: "Favorite mastectomy breast prosthesis idea: a fake boob containing a spare rechargable battery, accessed via a nipple USB port. Complete with a ring of LED charge indicators in the areola!"]
1. CANCER CANCER CANCER (oh yeah I hope you've noticed that "Some context for the cancer comics". "GUYS JUST IN CASE YOU FORGOT: CANCER. I KNOW I DON'T MENTION IT MUCH SO")
2. lol boobs
3. stick figures wearing clothes makes them look like creepy hunchbacks
4. "nuh-uh": why do nerds fetishise adults behaving like children? the ballpit thing is like this too. hence you have forumites saying "Anyways, I really hope Randall's wife does this in real life" and such. protip: maybe it would be easier to argue that liking animation and graphic novels isn't childish if they people who read them didn't tend to behave like children all the time
6. the alt-text is 'why can't women be more like computers amirite guiz' and 'lol boob' and 'mmmmm nipples' all at once
7. so yeah slitting my wrists see you all in hell
Hello, cuddlefish, Rob once again. I have a special request! I want you to remember this comic every time you are tempted to say that I'm making up Randy's creepy fetishes. One boob for milk, one for charging his Android.
That is all.

This is what happens when you get your knowledge of sex from Wikipedia. The authors of the pearl necklace (sexuality) page clearly thought it would be a good idea to choose an image of a woman who is also wearing a real necklace.
(I immediately looked up "Stockholm syndrome" to see whether the article was illustrated by the Swedish chef with a black eye.)

Ok, not actually, but I wanted to leave a subtle clue for those too slow to figure out the "joke" for 996.
The real joke of course, is that there is a female doctor. Even Ann Apolis is a guy.

I live in uptown NOLA and those are not mardi gras beads. I can see Randy's never seen any in his entire life, if he thinks those are in anyway resemblant of anything associated with Mardi GrasReplyDelete

I also live in New Orleans and I don't think that's really a relevant qualifier for a judge of the accuracy of illustrated Mardi Gras beads.ReplyDelete
I can't think of how someone could draw a string of beads in such a way that they would clearly be Mardi Gras beads as opposed to any other kind of beads.
Having said that, I agree that the drawing is terrible and it doesn't look like he made any effort at all to imbue any sort of authenticity or accuracy into the appearance of the beads. It looks more like Marge Simpson's necklace than a proper "string" of beads.
I think what annoys me the most is that Randy often claims to be way into physics and things like that. He also claims to be a really quirky guy who is really clever and frequently notices when someone in the media gets something wrong or portrays something in such a way that seems physically or scientifically impossible according to some obscure law he read about on Wikipedia. And yet he's perfectly comfortable drawing an object like a necklace and making it appear to be stiff like it's a hoop made of steel, having no regard for the way such an object would actually appear or behave in the real world according to the most basic physical principles that govern our universe.Replies

I also also live in New Orleans and think this is the main reason Munroe draws in stick figures; that way when he screws up something (like drawing beads that look nothing like beads or his recent botched attempt at "perspective" in the spinning bed comics) he can say "well what do you expect IT'S JUST STICK FIGURES." Then he can go back to wikipedia to find 50 year old JFK quotes with niggling geographic inaccuracies to complain about.Delete

I liked this comic. My wife is an oncologist and she says that women demand beads before disrobing all the time. So, this comic is funny and accurate. Scary.ReplyDelete

Not long in the past a lot of individuals started getting involved in rearing their own chickens the key reason being that they would like to produce their own food and feed their households. But as the demand for chicken produce grew a lot of folks found an opportunity in the market to raise chickens for profit.
When starting out in raising chickens at home in Port Hueneme California you should find out if you are allowed to farm chickens in your place of residence. Some states or countries might not allow the raising of chickens. But if you are allowed to raise chickens in the area then its time that you should get started.

Chickens need a lot of attention plus management. You must be sure you feed your chickens the right food to keep them healthy plus illness free. Feeding birds is not a complicated process. Birds can eat a variety of food like garden pests, weeds and even your leftover foods. With this being said birds can be good for your garden as well because as they eat up the insects plus also fertilize your garden with their poo.
Building a chicken house is very important. The chicken house should be safe and protect the birds from predators such as hawks, cats and even dogs. Some folks may even try to steal your chickens. Your hen house must be well covered as well to protect your birds from too much sunlight, cold and rainfall.
You must try by all means to keep your hen house clean as possible. The house should be large enough to accommodate all of your birds, young and old. They must be enough space for your chickens to lay their eggs and eat. Fresh water may also be given to your chickens in their coop.
You should surround your chicken coop with a fence to give your chickens some space to move around and search for insects to eat. The fencing must be high enough for the chickens not to fly over and predators such as dogs to jump in. Once you get this right you sure will be a happy chicken farmer.

It seems that Jill Kelley, the other other woman in the unfolding Petraeus scandal, acquired the honorific via media reports struggling to describe her ambiguous volunteer role as a popular hostess to Central Command's military elite....
"There's no such thing," one officer told us. The made-up title appears to be a polite way of saying "rich Tampa socialite who likes to hang with four-star generals."I thought of some other things it would be a polite way of saying, but I won't mention them. I'll just suggest that the officer is only portraying the women in a negative light. What about the generals? The women couldn't have made any progress in the role of "social liaison" if the generals didn't want to be liaised. What the hell are these men doing appropriating the power and prestige of the United States military for the purpose of liaising with women-of-a-certain-type? These are the men who send enlistees into battle, who demand sacrifice from idealistic young Americans. They should not be flaunting whatever pleasures they pursue.
And by the way, how does one get the position called "socialite"? It's not as though that's anything more than a characterization of what someone appears to be doing. Wikipedia says:
A socialite is a slightly pejorative term for a member of a social elite, or someone aspiring to be a member.... A socialite participates in social activities and spends a significant amount of time entertaining and being entertained at fashionable events....You never hear about true "society" anymore. Only the pretenders get any attention now. But what are they pretenders to? To nothing!
American Members of The Establishment, or an American "Society" based on birth, breeding, education, and economic standing, were originally listed in the Social Register.... Members of true "society" were distinguishable from members of post World-War I "cafe society," from whom are further distanced "socialites," who are considered aspirational members of true "society," but with no substantive social credentials or personal achievements.
I've got another question: Do identical twins tilt their head sideways the same way at the same time? Because that photograph is driving me nuts.

Wendy of A Wee Bit of Cooking (an old blogger friend) and Sarah of Homemade (a new blogger friend) have tagged me for the 6 Word Memoir Meme. Like the title implies, you sum up your life in 6 words, then tag 6 more bloggers to do the same. Here's mine:
Seven homes.
One husband.
Here are 6 more people I'd like to hear from:
- Ivy of Kopiaste
- The Zen Chef of Chefs Gone Wild
- Emily of Superspark
- Linda of Make Life Sweeter
- Peter of Kalofagas
- Susan of Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy
- Marie of Proud Italian Cook makes me sigh. When I read her posts about her family and see her recipes for Italian dishes like her amazing sausage bread, I am instantly transported back home to Rhode Island. Thanks, Marie, for making 3,000 miles not seem so far.
- Anne-Marie of Ambrosia and Nectar has a knack for teaching, not preaching about cuisine. I also admire the way she takes a humble ingredient like a prune and transforms it into something extraordinary.
- Emiline of Sugarplum makes me laugh. I like the way she embraces life in all its quirky wonderfulness and that she doesn't take herself too seriously. Plus, have you seen this girl's brownies? Dang.
- Susan of Farmgirl Fare takes photos of her farm animals that make me go "Aaawwww." (And I'm not even an animal lover. ) Look at this photo, then tell me you didn't do the same thing. Susan, thanks for making me sigh and laugh.
- I "met" Dhanggit of Dhanggit's Kitchen when she submitted her festive Tropical Santa Cookies to my Eat Christmas Cookies event last December, and we've been regular visitors ever since. Dhanggit's innovative recipes and lovely photographs are a pleasure to see. So I was truly saddened to learn in this post that her beloved father recently passed away. My heart is with Dhanggit and her family. That's why her blog made me cry.
Here are my 5 nominations:
- Suganya of Tasty Palettes inspires me with her exceptional recipes and artfully composed photographs. What's even more impressive is that Suganya recently celebrated her blog's first anniversary, so it can only get better and better.
- Helen of Tartlette. Extraordinary desserts. Extraordinary photography. Extraordinary blog. Thank you, Helen, for your endless creativity and flair.
- Jess's blog, Cakespy, has a touch of whimsy that I find enchanting. From her fantastic artwork to her humorous posts, Jess just seems like she's always having a good time. How could you not like that?
- Anh of Food Lover's Journey inspires me with her elegant culinary creations and evocative photography. I admire Anh: In addition to blogging, she has just completed the first round of her PhD program! Not too shabby.
- T.W.'s passions for food history and baking come together in his spectacular historical cakes. T.W. bakes cakes from vintage cookbooks and children's books then writes engagingly about their origins. I'm thinking maybe he should change his blog's name from "Culinary Types" to "Let Them Eat Cake." Hey, it's historical.
- Shn of Mishmash!
- Anali of Anali's First Amendment
- Elle of Feeding My Enthusiasms
- Bal of KaRaFaKiDeN TaTLaR and Be Foodie! (her English language blog)

Item # CC412
Price: $40.00 $29.99 (Save 25%)
This diamond rod sharpener is one of the most versatile tools around. The diamond rod features a groove for easily sharpening fish hooks. However, it is not just useful for fishhooks. Unlike other rods, this one is well sized so it can be used to sharpen small knives or other bladed garden tools. The diamond sharpener slides back into the knurled handle for easy storage. Available in black aluminum or brass finish. Engineered and made in the USA.
While I keep one in my tackle box for sharpening fish hooks, I also find myself reaching for this when the other tools in my garage need a quick touch up. I have owned smaller, cheaper versions of this tool in the past, but I have found the imitations just do not measure up to this well-made tool.
EdgeCraft/Chef'sChoice Item Numbers
Brass: 4120000
Aluminum: 4120101
Q. What grit are the Diamond Rod Sharpeners?
A. The Chef's Choice Diamond Rod sharpeners are 400 grit.

New for Idaho
The Wild and Scenic Snake River Boater`s Guide
The Snake River winds its way through Hells Canyon, the deepest river-carved gorge in North America. Here the river flows through the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area and forms the boundary between Idaho and Oregon. The 652,488-acre recreation area includes the nearly 215,000-acre Wells Canyon Wilderness with the Snake River flowing through and adjacent to it.
This new and revised edition provides mile-by-mile guide to the river between Hells Canyon Creek Recreation Site to Lewiston/Clarkston Valley at Hellsgate State Park, a distance of 104 miles. Eight detailed maps show rapids, campsites, and trails with descriptions on the pages opposite from the maps.
The 35-page guide is spiral bound and printed on tear-proof, water resistant paper. 2014
About Idaho
Welcome to Idaho
Modern explorers may wonder why Idaho has stayed off their adventure screens for so long. Over 60% of the state is public land, including vast forests, miles of sagebrush grasslands, and numberless lakes, hot springs, mountains, and rivers. Hells Canyon and Sawtooth National Recreation Areas boast some of the most breathtaking scenery in the county, and through both run world-class fishing and boating rivers, the Snake and the Salmon. Other Wild and Scenic Rivers include the Middle Fork of the Clearwater, the route which Lewis and Clark followed on their historic trek, and the Middle Fork of the Salmon, the "river of no return," which shoots through the second-largest wilderness in the lower 48.
In fact, with four wilderness areas in addition to the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, Idaho has more designated roadless wilderness than any other state in the conterminous US. These, surrounded as they are by national forests, provide extensive habitat for wildlife of all types: moose, elk, deer, bear, mountain lions, coyotes, raptors, and countless small birds and mammals. In the clear and abundant waters live anadromous (ocean going) steelhead and salmon, as well as wild trout and hatchery-stocked bass, trout, salmon, and other game fish. The number of blue ribbon fisheries are astounding, and from Henry's Fork to Dworshak Reservoir, the record catches are equally incredible.
If you did miss all this, you're not the first. Despite reports from Lewis & Clark of friendly Nez Perce natives, thousands of settlers walked right through Idaho without stopping, visions of Oregon's bounty propelling them onward. When gold fever drove thousands more into the hills of California and Nevada, they ran right past Idaho. Only when the rushes settle down did miners and homesteaders start to trickle into Idaho. A few strikes, and boom towns sprang up, fading away quickly. Timber in the north created a steadier economy, and irrigation brought large scale agriculture (Famous Potatoes!). Soon enough, pressure from settlers caused conflicts with the unremittingly helpful Nez Perce, bringing to a head the most tragic chapter in Idaho histoy, the persecution of Chief Joseph. Today, the Nez Perce are honored for their culture and contributions throughout the state, in the various branches of the Nez Perce National Historic Park and Nee Me Poo National Historic Trail.
Take some time to explore the wonders of Idaho here at the Idaho Public Lands Information Center. You will discover a wealth of detailed information about where to go and what to do while touring the public lands of this state.

When evaluating each program, you should consider several factors. No one program is right for everybody, but if you look carefully at what each program has to offer, you should be able to find an inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that meets your needs.
Consider asking these questions as you evaluate which inpatient facility is best for you:
1. What types of addictions does the facility treat? If your primary problem is with alcohol, you might want to use an alcohol rehabilitation center rather than one that deals with all types of drugs and addictions. Different drugs also require different types of help. For example, a prescription drug addiction may require detoxification and other treatments that certain other drug addictions don't require.
2. Is the program geared towards any specific group of individuals? Some inpatient drug rehab centers are designed specifically for high-level executives, for women or for LGBT individuals. Other programs have more diverse patient populations. If you have special needs because you identify with a particular community, you might want to choose a residential treatment center that caters to your particular demographic.
3. What are the accommodations like? While the accommodations may not be as important as the treatment plan, itself, you will probably still want to feel comfortable in your new surroundings. Since you'll most likely be residing at the facility for a minimum of 30 days, your surroundings should feel pleasant and positive.
Luxury inpatient facilities in Tampa, for example, can sometimes seem more like resorts than hospitals. They offer a wide range of extra services and amenities that can include acupuncture, equine therapy, golf ranges and spa treatments. Depending on your needs and income level, you might want to consider these facilities to make your stay more comfortable.
4. What kinds of treatments are accessible? Most inpatient drug rehabilitation centers provide each group and individual therapy and counseling. Various kinds of therapeutic interventions may be obtainable, based on the type of center you go to. Do you need to attend a system, as an example, that also requires loved ones members to attend therapy sessions? Is the inpatient facility at a hospital exactly where you'll be able to receive 24/7 access to expert medical solutions?
Also consider if you will be needing a facility that is equipped to care for any other coexisting medical or mental health conditions you may have—i.e., a dual diagnosis treatment center.
5. Do you need to maintain an active presence at your place of work during residential rehab? If so, consider exploring an executive rehab center, where you will be able to receive quality inpatient care while still engaging with your daily work responsibilities.
6. Do the program costs work for your budget and insurance? Inpatient programs tend to range between $2,000-$25,000, depending on the location, amenities provided, type and length of the program. So it's important to find out if and how much your insurance will cover for you.
If the price is still out of your range, talk with someone who can sort through your options with you. In addition to cheaper outpatient programs, there may be alternative inpatient programs available to you with the help of sliding scale payment options or financing plans.
Take advantage of exploring at least a few different inpatient drug rehab centers before making a final decision so you can evaluate all of these factors and determine which center will best meet your needs.

Rehabilitation services in Tampa FLcan be expensive. It's important to talk to the intake personnel at the facility before agreeing to enter an inpatient residential drug or alcohol rehab program so you understand exactly what you are going to have to pay for.
Inpatient residential drug rehabilitation programs often require you to pay for food, room and board and miscellaneous other expenses as well as for the therapy and other services that you receive through the program.
Some of your costs may be covered by insurance. Check with your insurance company to find out whether you can be reimbursed for the cost of rehabilitation (read more).
Inpatient drug rehabilitation centers are required by law to have confidentiality policies in place. Your treatment is considered medical treatment – so nobody but you, your doctors and others directly involved in your treatment plan have the right to know about it.
The Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a strict privacy law that was established by Congress in 1996. It serves to protect the security and privacy of your medical information and carries with it heavy civil and criminal penalties for privacy violations – including imprisonment and fines ranging from $100 to $250,000, depending on the violation committed.

When work-related duties are keeping you or someone you care about from looking for care for a problem with illicit substances or behavior-related addiction, executive rehab centers would be a convenient solution to consider. Executive rehab centers combine top-rated drug abuse and behavioral addiction inpatient treatments with the ability to simultaneously maintain an active presence at work.
Luxury addiction remedy clinics furnish the top-shelf amenities you would count on to appreciate only in the nation's best hotels, together with your recovery and comfort each taking major priority. From housekeeping solutions and in-house massage therapy to gym facilities and 5-star meals, it is possible to get top quality addiction remedy for oneself or an individual you care about while pampering your self with plush amenities.
As discussed in part above, many of these rehab center options require that clients apply and are accepted to the programs based on certain qualifications. For free rehab, the main qualifying factor is usually a demonstrated inability to pay. Other qualifications may include residence in the state where treatment is provided, certain social qualifiers, such as being pregnant or a veteran, or being a member of the faith community that runs a faith-based rehab.
There are priority populations in many state rehab centers. For example, through the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services, it is clearly stated that those who are considered to be priorities for state-funded treatment are:
If a person has insurance coverage, or demonstrates an ability to pay at least part of their treatment cost, free treatment programs may not be available to that person. If that's the case, there are other ways to help cover the cost of rehab, even at private inpatient treatment centers around Tampa FL.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS or "rhabdo") is a cancerous tumor that develops in the body's soft tissues, usually the muscles. It can affect the head, neck, bladder, vagina, arms, legs, trunk, or just about any body part. Cells from these tumors are often fast growing and can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.
RMS is the most common type of soft-tissue cancer in children. Kids can develop it at any age, but it's most common in those between 2 and 6 years old and 15 and 19 years old. Boys tend to be affected more often than girls.
Treatment of RMS usually includes chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. With early detection and timely treatment, most kids make a full recovery.
The two main types of RMS in kids are:
The cause of RMS is unclear, but doctors know that certain medical conditions can make some children more likely to develop rhabdomyosarcoma. These include genetic conditions such as:
Symptoms generally depend on the size and location of the tumor. Sometimes a lump may be apparent on a child's body and there may be painful swelling. Other times, the tumor may be so deep within the body that it produces few if any symptoms.
When in the head, RMS may cause headaches, bulging of the eye, or a droopy eyelid. In the urinary system, it may lead to problems with urination and bowel movements, or blood in the urine or stool. If a muscle tumor is pressing on a nerve, there may be tingling or weakness in that area.
If a doctor suspects a child has RMS or another soft-tissue tumor, he or she will perform a thorough physical exam in addition to these tests:
Treatment of RMS and other soft-tissue tumors depends on staging. The staging classification system (usually using Roman numerals I-IV) helps doctors determine how far the cancer has progressed. It takes into account things like the size of the tumor (or tumors), how deeply the tumor has penetrated an organ, and whether the tumor has spread to nearby or distant organs.
This information, in addition to other factors (like the type of tumor and the child's age and overall heath) helps doctors develop treatment plans that may include the following options, in combination or alone:
Being told that a child has cancer can be a terrifying experience, and the stress of cancer treatment can be overwhelming for any family.
Although you might feel like it at times, you're not alone. To find out about support that may be available to you or your child, talk to your doctor, a hospital social worker, or child life specialist. Many resources are available that can help you get through this difficult time.

Digikam Plans for KDE 4
Readers of the KDE Commit-Digest have probably noticed that Gilles Caulier is again on top with number of commits. On what does he work so furiously? Gilles is the main developer of Digikam which is under transition from KDE 3 to KDE 4 whilst simultaneously adding new features. Read more to know more about the future of advanced digital photo management for KDE and Linux.
There are many improvements including a cleaner user interface, improved performance, a new thumbnail bar, XMP support, ability to run on Mac OS X, GPS tagging using Google Maps, multiple album collections supporting collections on network shares and removable media, and auto gamma and white balance with RAW. Digikam is also the first open source photography tool with 16-bit colour depth support. Gilles Caulier tells all.
We have plans to release 0.10.0 in September, if all goes well.
Regression tests will take a while. I would not provide a "stable"

Database? Metadata? Strigi/Nepomuk integration?
Thanks for the great work on Digikam!
Since you discussed a new database schema and more metadata, I was wondering if this is all being stored (and searchable) using Nepomuk and Strigi or if Digikam is maintaining its own database? It would be great if all metadata in Digikam, including tags, ratings, as well as camera information, could be shared with the rest of the desktop. For example, Dolphin now has tags and ratings for files. For pictures, this should be the same ratings you see in Digikam, or whatever other photo application one might be using.
I'm actually wondering the same thing about Amarok. This is the kind of integration I look forward to seeing throughout KDE 4.

Re: Database? Metadata? Strigi/Nepomuk integration?
I'm sorry to hear that. Please reconsider as it is one of KDE's key features to offer broad integration. It is one of the features what makes it shine compared to other Desktops. Database applications like DigiKam should promote this feature as soon as possible. DigiKam on the other hand will only gain in importance, insight, influence and momentum.
Anyway keep up the great work!
By DigiKam lover at Thu, 2008/04/03 - 5:00am
Re: Database? Metadata? Strigi/Nepomuk integration?
I dont see reason to horry nepomuk integration. I think digiKam has great handling with photographs with it's own ratings and tags. Later nepomuk support would be nice but now I dont see any reason for it. Because I dont see Digikam as a tool for "normal joe" who just browse wallpapers and other images what avarage joe downloads from internet. DigiKam is for professional/hobby photographers , who keeps digikam running anyway when needed to handle big amounts of photographs and easily to manage those.

Re: Database? Metadata? Strigi/Nepomuk integration?
I'm totally agree with this viewpoint. There is not urgency to include Nepomuk support for 0.10.0 release. Of course, later, when new digiKam core Database interface will be stabilized, something can be done to connect digiKam database to nepomuk. But in all case, later 0.10.0 relesase...

By DigiKamLover at Mon, 2008/04/07 - 5:00am
Re: Database? Metadata? Strigi/Nepomuk integration?
Great work! I for one am looking forward to stable KDE4 release :-)
As for Nepomuk integration, I'm really waiting for that as well, because I understand that it will not only offer the infrastructure to do the indexing (tagging) and allows for the same lightspeed categrization and search we are used to with digiKam, but also allows tight integration with other apps in the platform: marble with the GPS -data, akonadi integration etc. So far my major reason for not using digiKam to its full capacity has been the problem, that its not se well integrated with the desktop.
For example, I have some 6,000 photos, for which digiKam is great editor, but I'd like integrate a hoard of non-photos with slightly different needs to the same system. And I want to tag them all, and I want to tag audiofiles and keynotes in the same system. Somehow I just don't see why I should manage my .mp3 and .xcf -files with digiKam. And if I have to tag these all, why use digiKam. It's a fine editor but lacking integration keeps me from using it more.
I would think that from the developer's perspective using existing tools is a good idea, because then one can concentrate on the essential. From the user point of view being able to swicth from one tool - digiKam - that is great for one thing, to another, say Dolphin, Marble or Gwenview, which has different strenghts, is a motivation to use the stuff.
At the moment the issue seems to be that XMP is malformed RDF, and thus 1-10% of the XMP metadata is in danger of being lost in conversion to RDF. The sooner we get a uniform access to the metadata, the better. Therefore I really look forward to integrating all these great new digiKam features into the wider desktop, so that I can keep on using it when the stable KDE4 release comes out in the fall.

image version control
The #1 thing I'd like to see in Digikam is some form of version control, that lets you go crazy and touch up your pictures while preserving, at least, the original picture. These issues were discussed at length here[1], but all that came out of that particular bug was a confirmation dialog when saving an image from the image editor.
Don't laugh now, but this is the most important thing that is keeping me from migrating my parents to Linux. Here is the scenario, that would apply not just to parents but to any user lacking very strong self-discipline: They find a picture that they like, so they fix it up a little. Apply red eye. Crop it. Tweak the colors and contrast. Make it look better on the screen. That's what Digikam invites you to do. Now they decide that they *really* like the picture, so they ask me to come over and help them make the most of it for printing. And then it is ruined, because of the sloppy, lossy editing that they already did. And that's not their fault, imho, but that of the software that is too unforgiving.
By Martin at Thu, 2008/04/03 - 5:00am

RAW: the wrong way to do it
Honestly, if you guys need RAW users to jump onto digikam, then you need to learn why on earth one uses RAW. The way digikam works on RAW files is plain wrong. You are planning all this for the average shooter, but the average user doesn't use RAW, because he/she just doesn't need the overhead of work and diskspace.
Those that do use RAW, honestly, don't do autowhitebalance. One ofthe main purposes of RAW is precisely being able to manually correct white balance when the camera's autowhitebalance goes wrong, being able to fix highlights and shadows, curves... without loosing quality "thanks" to the camera's extra processing.
When I see shots like this one:
First, I read "it's not bad!". Well, it is bad, real bad. The left shots from digikam are washed out,flat, not contrasty at all. Lightzone one looks properly exposed and all lines are rather defined, contrasty.
Then, I wonder why you had hidden the righthand toolbar from lightzone. I'd love to know how you are comparing results, ie, what you exactly did to them, why Lightzone gets it right and why showfoto didn't.
So the issue is only about accuracy? No.
1) Digikam opens the raw photo applying the _settings_ found n the digikam menu.
You can't just apply a default white balance and then set white balance _again_ in showfoto. You are doubly processing the image and thus loosing quality.
2) When tweaking raw files, precission is also important. One needs to tweak images once and again until one gets it right... apply sharpness 1, 1.1, no, 0.9... if I wanted to do this in showfoto, it would require me to process->undo->process->undo->process->undo each time, and each time opening and closing the dialog from the menu. Really slow.
3) It'd take me a whole month to process 100 shots using digikam/showfoto's procedure shown on the previous comment. The average raw shooter takes around 1000 shots for a session and needs to process those in a single day, not spend a whole month on it. it's about fast batch processing. If it were this slow with any other apps, people would end up using jpeg instead.
So honestly, if you want to do RAW, you guys need to learn what RAW is for, and how real users use it. Showfoto coders seem to ignore users here, unlike other opensource projects around.
Sometimes coders just forget that they need to approach their customers/users to check what they really neeed...
My 2 cents.
By anon photographer at Thu, 2008/04/03 - 5:00am

Good thing to know though, that they are actually learning from other good projects like Lightzone

Re: RAW: the wrong way to do it
"Then, what's wrong? digikam's workflow to process RAWs is all wrong, and anyone using RAW workflows should possibly know why. I give a couple hints in the following lines:"
I would like to see rawstudio ideas taken to DigiKam's RAW editor, where you can have thubbar (already) showing all images and then make a three different versions from one image and fast switch them to see if one is better than other. And let this window/application to mark those good versions and then apply it to images what are in database.
I like the idea that first user just imports images to database, add's few info like albumb name, and then from database, is started the real RAW processing where user open all images and can set one setting for all or process everyone with own custom settings.
Mayby biggest "flaw" what i can find from digikam is it's editing window, possibilities are GREAT but own window for every edit function and preview window is small by default etc. Mayby i would do somekind mockup for it. If would be possible to get showfoto work so it's editing goes in it's own window, or is it somekind technical limit?

Yes, the thumbnail bar is the common method used on all otheer RAW processors, including commercial ones like bibble pro (by Bibble labs), lightzone (by lightcraft), lightroom (by Adobe), Aperture (by Apple), rawtherapee ()...
Also common, even on the still-baby rawstudio, that you can copy paste settinsg from one photo to another leaving the raw file untouched, and without generating the final jpegs yet.

It's not too bad. I said again :
==> the preview of JPEG image embeded in RAW file. No auto gamma/Wb are set here. The image is displayed as well.
==> the RAW image decoded in digiKam with 16 bits color depth + auto-WB + auto-gamma. It's look very similar no ???
>So the issue is only about accuracy? No.
Certainly no. There is 2 RAW workflow :
1/ a fast way with all auto settings for less important pictures.
Both are possible in digiKam !

Re: RAW: the wrong way to do it

okay, this was confusing. Certainly embedded jpeg files cannot be compared to a processed image.
>2/ a slow way using color management where users can adjust all (gamma, WB, etc..)
Even slower?? The process about processing RAW is slow by itself. The point is making it fast by applying a proper workflow. Btw, I tried that plugin, I hope you get it right, since it wasn't doing anything last time I gave it a test.
>And you forget than i'm _also_ a photographer and i _always_ use RAW format
If you are using RAW on a daily basis, you sure noticed the way digikam works with RAW files isn't usable. I was questioning you guys on why you follow this way of coding. You know (since you use RAW often), that it's not comfortable. Just too slow for a daily usage. Right now there are much better free alternatives like rawtherapee, ufraw or rawstudio for this task.
I myself even, and other coders (yes, I do code, and I have done code for digikam), have addressed at you issues in the past and even offered code for doing a proper RAW workflow. But you seem to ignore all of us. Why so?
If you really want to promote RAW in digikam, maybe some tweaks must be done and help from others offered in the past accepted.

Using what? Gilles, for heaven's sake please tell me you did mean something else :) Terminology is the key :)
Though I don't buy into the previous guy's harshness regarding workflow, I tend to agree that digikam basically lacks proper workflow.
- can digikam load >2 pictures simultaneously on light table? (I do remember, you said it takes too much CPU/memory or whatever :))
- can digikam generate cache (full-size previews) so that a picture would not load every time from a RAW file?
- can digikam copy/paste processing parameters?
- does digikam allow non-destructive cropping/straightening/WB/etc. with batch export?
Well, I'd say - "no" to all of the above. This is a pity.
What is even more pity is that digikam relies on the aged model of dialogs whereas everybody (and rightfully so) is moving to sidebars with expanders. Cropping via dialog is so 90s! :)
Seriously, digikam has most of pieces in place to become a great RAW workflow product. It just needs better UI + some functionality.
Currently I'm bound to use Rawstudio for sorting, UFRaw for actual processing and F-Spot for managing the library. This is a nightmare. This should be stopped.

gallery plugin
what are the plans on gallery integration plugin ?
By richlv at Thu, 2008/04/03 - 5:00am
Re: gallery plugin
Well, I've had a hard time of it of late and there has been little progress. I apologise for that.
It's still somewhat in flux to be honest.
With KDE4 there are so many new techniques and technologies that I'm really struggling to work out the most appropriate way to do this.
I've raised a couple of questions to other developers in the past about the use of such techniques but I've not had a huge response (not that I've really pushed it hard as I have not got the time right now to do much about it anyway).
My current lines of thinking are such.
1) I want a nice sync framework that goes beyond Gallery and applies to other web services e.g. Facebook, Flickr etc. etc. as well as e.g. a file or a CD ROM for achieve. The principle is in itself applicable to a lot of things.
2) Other approaches are out there and I want to make sure myself (or others) pick the right model for this with regards to Digikam/KIPI and (more widely) KDE4. A good example of this is Conduit. It is a separate program aimed mostly at Gnome (although there is some vestiges of a Konduit project, it's pretty hard to find out any info about). It integrates to libopensync and can upload FSpot pictures to e.g. Flickr and Facebook etc. I quite like this approach and it may be worth doing.
3) Nepomuk. To me this is the biggest interest but I'm not fully appreciative about what is is capable of at present, but I have a "feeling" this is the right way to go. However, this is a *huge* change IMO and not one that is likely to happen overnight. To explain:
Nepomuk is a PIM (personal information management) abstraction in KDE4. It's designed such that you can build e.g. contact systems and email clients on top of Nepomuk and it makes your personal data available via predefined interfaces. This allows lots of interesting things to be done in applications and with e.g. plasmoids etc. too. I attended the Nepomuk talk at Akademy and was quite impressed by the principles. The talk focused on the traditional PIM information like contacts and emails. I asked a question enquiring where the developers saw the boundaries of this API as it could be applied to applications such as Amarok or Digikam. They devs responsed saying that indeed this was possible, but they've not targetted these apps at the moment as it was early days. I'm pleased to say that the Amarok crowd now have a GSoC project that aims to build in Nepomuk support there so things are happening along the lines I envisaged (hopefully this project will be a success!)
In my mind we could create a Nepomuk profile for "Images and Videos". We could then impelment a Filesystem backend for this and retarget Digikam to use this. In theory Digikam could then have "accounts" (just like an email application has multiple IMAP accounts) and you could plug in a Nepomuk backend for Facebook, Gallery etc. etc. This would be IMO the holy grail implementation and it's this dream that's (in part) causing me not to progress with the work done to date.
Hopefully I'll find time to explore the options properly with the main devs, but this approach changes a lot of the fundamentals of Digikam and KIPI as a whole and I feel I'm certainly not qualified or capable (both technically and time wise) to push this approach.
Hopefully some of the core devs will take up some of the ideas and either implement them or blow them clean out of the water. Either way it would let me move on!!

Re: gallery plugin
I have to reply to correct myself.
Having been "out of the loop" for a while I've talked myself into misremembering project names etc.
The project I saw at Akadamy that I thought would be interesting for DigiKam/Amarok is actually Akonadi:
I'm totally confused now, as I have posted several messages with incorrect premises relating to nepomuk when it's not relevant to what I had in mind!!!

scaling hell
Is it now possible to scale a small image to fit the screen (with anti-aliasing) by default? The gwenview guys seem to not know how this is done and you have to zoom in yourself at every image (very annoying considering collection of >10000 pics) and even so, only at fixed intervals (150%, 200%). THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. You can add all the maps in the world and still not achieve your core functionality of displaying the damn inages WELL.

Wakefield (Rhode Island)
Wakefield is a village of the town of South Kingstown, located in the state of Rhode Island. Settlers came to Wakefield early in the 18th century due to it's proximity to the Saugatucket River. In the middle of the 19th century, Kenyon's Department Store was founded, and Wakefield soon became the business center of South Kingstown. As time progressed, the mills throughout the village became bigger and allowed for population growth. By 1895, there were 1,543 people living in the village. The first hospital was created in 1919 inside a house, and by 1925, the South County Hospital building was erected. It is still in the same location today. The village of Wakefield is rich in history, and its proximity to beaches and other attractions bring in thousands of tourists each summer.
