James Cameron is best known as the director of "Titanic," '"Avatar," "Terminator," and several other films which made millions at the box-office. Now the man has made into the history books by being only the second man to reach Earth's deepest point.
Cameron used a specially designed submarine to dive nearly seven miles into the Mariana Trench. The Mariana Trench at 35,756 feet deep is the world's deepest ocean trench and is estimated to be 120 times larger than the Grand Canyon. The first and only time anyone dove to those depths was in 1960 and back then, they only stayed for 20 min. Cameron will stay down there for 6 hours!
Say what you want about the man's movie, but you can't dispute the fact that he has balls. At that depth, even a simple engineering mistake would destroy the small submarine and kill him. Good luck to him!

In the last two articles we talked about How To Travel to Spiti Valley from Shimla – Kinnaur and How To Travel to Spiti Valley from Manali side. Now that we know how we are going to travel to Spiti Valley, if one has to make a choice among the two of them, then let's looks at some advantages of traveling to Spiti Valley from Shimla – Kinnaur route, popularly known as Hindustan – Tibet Highway.
If you compare the road to Spiti Valley from Shimla – Kinnaur Route with road to Spiti Valley from Manali, there are certain definitive advantages of both these beautiful routes. In this article, I will enlist 5 main reasons to travel to Spiti Valley from Shimla – Kinnaur route and in the next article I will talk about few advantages of the other way round as well that is from Manali side.
1. Acclimatization and AMS: Sometimes, people traveling or going directly to Spiti Valley or Kaza / Losar from Manali suffers from acute mountain sickness due to the sudden change of altitude with which the body is not adapted as Kaza is about 3600 Mtrs high in altitude. However, Hindustan – Tibet Highway provides a gradual ascent to travellers thus helps them fight any chances of acute mountain sickness (AMS) caused due to sudden change in high altitudes and let them enjoy the beautiful vistas in relaxed and peaceful manner.
2. Ugly & Messy Drive to Rohtang Pass: You have to go through the ever messy Rohtang Pass and its widely famous huge traffic jams which in the month of May-June can last even for days 😯 🙂 … The drivers coming from other side will bully you, break the lines and block the traffic coming from other side. Sometimes even ignorant, ill-mannered people driving from plains are also responsible for this queue breaks and resulting in deadlocks for hours. This only creates frustration and agony, plus some people suffer from ill-health too while starnded for long hours at that high altitude. As those summer and vacation months passes by, monsoons magic comes in and makes the road to Rohtang Pass, especially between Marhi to Rohtang Pass (14 odd KMs) extremely slushy. So, in case you are self driving, get ready for some real fun and adventure through slush.
3. Drama of Manali – Rohtang Pass Permits: Of course, it is a trivial process that you need to get the permits if you you are coming over in a non-HP vehicle and going towards Rohtang Pass from Manali side. Again, a kind of piss-off and can force you to alter the drive plans or stay even as they are issued in office hours 🙂 … For more details on this permits problem, you can read the article: Non – HP Vehicles Need Permit on Manali – Rohtang Pass Road
Starting June-2013 there has been several revisions of the process how these permits are obtained and now in the end with so many different versions of getting permits from SDM Office OR Green Tax Barrier or Tourism Office, no one is clear about the situation 😀 … So, until it gets cleared, go and explore yourself how you will get the permits to cross over Rohtang Pass. Major reports are that they are being issued from Tourism Office and yes one thing is sure that you will need to pay Rs 100 as congestion fees for traveling to Rohtang Pass in non-HP vehicle.
4. Limited Window of Travel (Jun to Sept): The roads to Spiti Valley opens up only in June mid types with the opening of whole route between Gramphu (a small diversion point on manali -Leh Highway ahead of Rohtang Pass) to Kunzum Pass. Gramphu to Kunzum Pass route remains buried under snow glaciers which needs to be cut-through and since this road is low on priority for BRO, they start opening it at later stages only after making Manali – Leh Highway almost completely operational. Even after opening of Manali – Leh Highway, the progress of opening of Gramphu to Kunzum Pass and beyond is not that quick even though work is done from both ends that is from Gramphu end as well as Losar end. In fact the work from Losar end starts form March itself with the opening of road from Kaza to Losar first and then carrying the snow clearance operations towards Kunzum Pass and beyond upto Chota Dhara which falls under ther division. Road upto Chota Dhara is cleared from the division of Lahaul Valley (I hope I am correct in this assumption :))
Then, by September Kunzum Pass starts receieving snowfall and is not an ideal time to be beyond Kunzum Pass at that time of the year because you can get starnded for some hours to days in between Grampu and Kunzum Pass as it is happening for the last couple of years. As October begins, the risk becomes even higher. Hence, you are limited by a small window of 4 months for traveling the road to Spiti Valley from Manali side.
5. Beauty of Hindustan – Tibet Highway: In the end, of course, you miss the entire beauty as well as adventure over one of the most trecherous roads of the world: Hindustan – Tibet Highway, which is unmatched and I call it a destination in itself 🙂 … I am not denying the road beyond Rohtang Pass and towards Kunzum Pass is not that scenic but there is hell lot more attached to Hindustan – Tibet Highway than road from Manali over Kunzum Pass. Just to get an idea of sightseeing places over this amazing road which shall not be missed, check the article: Hindustan Tibet Road & NH – 22 | Interesting Places
I hope this will help all of you who are in a bit of confusion among these two routes. In the next article of the series, I will also talk about some of the reasons which you shall consider to Travel Spiti Valley from Manali side as well, just in case you are feeling too much bounded :)…

How We Work
Picking the right healthcare partner is important to you. We get it. Your health is vital and the right treatment can make all the difference. Before you choose Georgia Spine for your orthopedic partner, we want you to have all the information you need for a wise decision.
At Georgia Spine, our core values are expressed through 3 imperatives.
Empower Patients
Perfect healthcare answers don't exist. We won't try to tell you that they do. You are far more invested in your health than we could ever be—it affects everything you do! So you need treatment that fits your body, your goals, and your situation. We'll consider a myriad of factors before recommending a treatment plan.
When we do create your plan, we'll stay conservative. Many conditions can be treated without surgery. In fact, Dr. Bendiks performs surgery on less than 1% of his patients. If we do recommend surgery, it will be minimally invasive. Most patients return home the day of the surgery and experience rapid improvement.
Throughout the entire process, we will carefully communicate your options, answer your questions, and respect your decisions. Your body, your health.
Innovate Treatment
Medical professionals should never stop learning. Our team closely follows new developments in orthopedics and we regularly update our equipment and procedures. In addition, we contribute new innovations to the field. Dr. Bendiks is a leading spine researcher who regularly develops new techniques and teaches other spine surgeons.Learn more about
Dr. Bendiks' research
Care Deeply
You shouldn't be alone in your battle with pain and discomfort. At Georgia Spine, we consider ourselves true partners in your fight. Several of our staff members have personal experience with orthopedic conditions and pain, which gives them extra insight into your experience. All of us want to understand your unique struggle and help you find a good "after." This desire shapes every part of our practice, but we'll pinpoint two things here.
First, we've done our best to make your treatment as easy as possible. From in-office procedures to integrating our services, we've tried to protect you from extra paperwork, red tape, and frustration.
Second, we want to be readily accessible any time you have questions or concerns. We promptly return calls and Dr. Bendiks even provides his cell phone number so that patients can directly contact him. At Georgia Spine, you are a person, not paperwork.Schedule a consultation

Like how I did that? Foes are enemies, but FOEs are Friends of Ellen's. Well, it made me chuckle.
Check out the blogs of some of my friends, collaborators, and people I find interesting.

Sports Righting – Tyler Raborn and his friends at SportsRighting talk about sports with a humorous twist. While some content is serious, my favorite entries make me wonder if I'm reading the Onion sports page.
There Will Be Bourbon – I met Rachel at a Bourbon Women's Association event in Boston last year. Her blog, written with Patrick, talks about new bourbons, food and drink recipes, and bourbon and whisk(e)y related news.
Dinitro's Take – I used to work with Rich at a company called ENSR (now AECOM) and enjoy his "Rants about Life, Work, Productivity, Geology, Science and of course Wine, using facts, statistics, and myth!" I especially like the wine recommendations, although I can't find that $6 Zonin Prosecco.
Lady Maclizbeth – Sage words from the younger generation (younger to me at least!) Although I've known Liz since she was a wee lass, I always hear her signature signoff – Stay caffeinated my friends – in the voice of the Dos Equis guy. Good thing Liz is one of the most interesting people in my world.

Some of you may have already heard of this new "portable" vaporizer but for those of you who haven't, it's a battery powered handheld that has a built-in water filter. It looks cool, it vapes cool, but it's not without its drawbacks. While we're currently working on our review, we wanted to let you all know about it – just a bit of a heads up so that you know what's in our pipeline. You can expect to see our complete review before the month's end. That much we can say for certain.
The Crafty
Another portable that's in our queue is the Crafty by Storz and Bickel. While we can't provide any definitive date by which we'll have our review for it up on our website, we can say that we've been very thoroughly impressed with its quality and have been waiting a long time to finally share this review, which we're basically just putting the final touches on now. When the Volcano's maker puts out a portable, you better believe it's something seriously awesome. What's really impressive about it — just to share a bit about what we think about it before our review goes live — is the fact that it vapes better than your average desktop vaporizer and it's a portable. It also comes with an app that gives you a lot of control over the temperature as well as a liquid pad that lets it vape liquids and other extracts. Without the liquid pad, a small insert for the heating chamber, it wouldn't be the vape it is, which is an all-in-one style vape that does it all. Some call this dual-use because it vapes extracts and dried blends. Others call it a three-in-one because it vapes dry material, solid concentrates, and liquids. Whatever the case, it can handle anything you can throw at it – or at least, that's what we experienced. And for reference, it handles it all in stride, producing some of the best vapor that we've seen. Oh, no! We've said too much. We're going to hold off on sharing too much but just know that the Crafty isn't all good as there are drawbacks to its design. But you'll just have to wait for our review to find out what we're talking about so stay tuned for more and if you're not already, be sure to follow our blog here on WordPress because you'll be one of the first to know when we publish a new vape review on our website.
Coming Up Next
While you can expect to see both of these reviews somewhat soon, it's the Hydrology by Cloudious 9 that we're looking to have a review up for sooner than later. The reason why you're all going to be enjoying our Hydrology vaporizer review what is likely to be significantly sooner than our Crafty review is due to the fact that we ourselves were so intrigued by it, we couldn't help but find ourselves compelled to push out our review as fast as we can. We're going to go ahead and say it now but because of the timing, particularly how quickly we're going to be publishing our thoughts on it, our thoughts are definitely subject to change given that we might like it more, or like it less. If such is the case, we'll be sure to update our review, assuming it's live on our site by then.
What Intrigued Us About The Hydrology 9
After seeing numerous attempts to perfect the vaporizer water filter combo, we've been intrigued by the prospect of a portable variant that really did what it was intended to do: produce mad vapor on the fly and pass it through a built-in water filter. There have been attempts, none of which all that portable in our opinion, but having yet to see the perfect water filtered vape, we've been continually looking for that one – the one that'll impress us to the point that it ensures us that water filtered portables are less of a dream than they are a reality. In this reality, we see a melding of two worlds: the old world of water filters and glass and the new world of portable vaporizing technology. Aren't you intrigued?
The Rush
Being as we were in such a rush to test it, we're now in quite the rush to share with you our thoughts, which admittedly may be premature but we're going to get them out to you in the form of an in-depth review like we always do and if we have to make some changes, we'll make some changes down the road. We do realize we're reiterating ourselves here, but we just want to make a point to stress to all of you that we're really pushing out this review quick after having had limited time to really dwell on our thoughts after extensive testing. So take it for what it's worth once it arrives. Also, keep in mind that we might refrain from publishing it too quickly for just this reason so you might want to disregard all of this and just wait and see what we have to say and as always, take it all with a grain of salt.
More Reviews
We don't want to spoil too much of our unpublished reviews on here so you'll just have to wait until we manage to share them before you get anymore information about them out of us. For now, enjoy the many vaporizer reviews we've managed to put together on our website: https://vaporizershark.com/vaporizer-reviews/

Elaine Deliberto of Lombard cooks with two microwave ovens.
``If it`s not microwaveable, I don`t want it,`` says the mother of four sons and a daughter and the grandmother of five.
Elaine Deliberto of Lombard cooks with two microwave ovens.
``If it`s not microwaveable, I don`t want it,`` says the mother of four sons and a daughter and the grandmother of five.
Deliberto and her husband, Ross, celebrate every birthday, holiday and graduation with family parties, just as their parents did in Chicago`s Bohemian and Italian neighborhoods.
Deliberto still cooks the family`s favorite ethnic recipes, but she does it the modern way--with a microwave oven. The day before any party, she cooks most of her menu, refrigerates the dishes and reheats them the next day. in the microwave ovens, leaving more time to visit with her family.
Veal Parmesan, the featured dish at a recent birthday party for 24, for example, was prepared the day before and reheated in the microwave ovens. The ovens also were used to heat the sauce, cook the mostaccioli and make the salad croutons.
While the adults anticipate the wonderful meal, Deliberto says dinner is secondary to her grandchildren. ``It`s not coming to grandma`s as much to eat as it is doing the special things like melting chocolate and dipping grandpa`s bananas in it,`` Elaine says. The chocolate-dipped banana chunks are set aside to cool and the grandchildren eat them with toothpicks.
Deliberto has learned that even though there is always cake at family parties, the grandchildren prefer her Rice Krispies bars. She combines butter and marshmallows in a 9- by 13-inch glass dish and cooks it in the microwave oven until the marshmallows and butter are melted. The remaining ingredients are stirred in and it`s pressed down and chilled, leaving only the mixing spoon to wash.
``If you`re a real good grandma, you put M & M`s in the Rice Krispies bars--and I`m real good when they come to visit,`` Deliberto laughs. The bars take just minutes to make using the recipe on the cereal box, and they firm in the refrigerator before dinner is over.
It wasn`t until she got the first microwave oven and a food processor that Deliberto baked bread. Now she takes pictures of breads at special occasions to duplicate at home.
The yeast bread dough is proofed in the microwave oven, cutting the rising time by half. A cup of water is brought to a boil in 2 1/2 to 3 minutes and then pushed to a corner of the microwave oven. Thebread dough that she has mixed and kneaded in the food processor is placed in a covered, greased bowl and placed in the microwave oven alongside the cup of boiling hot water. She microproofs the dough at 10 percent power for 10 minutes and then lets it rest for about 30 minutes in the microwave oven.
The instant-rise yeast granules are not necessary when Deliberto uses the microwave oven for proofing.
``It saves half the time anyway, so why go out and buy fast-rising yeast when the microwave oven does it for you?``
The stove is used to cook only the things the microwave ovens can`t cook well, such as large amounts of spaghetti sauce or soup, frying eggs, making pancakes or baking big batches of cookies and breads.
``I tried baking a ham in the regular oven Easter Sunday and it got too brown too quick, so I had to take it out and slice it and heat in the microwave. I felt safer because I knew what I was doing then,`` Deliberto says.
The sweet potato side dish to serve with the ham was prepared the day before. Fresh sweet potatoes were pierced and microwaved in the skins. ``I peeled, sliced, put the glaze on and put them back in the refrigerator and just heated them the next day--it was no work,`` Deliberto says.
With the growing family in mind, Deliberto is planning a spot for a third microwave oven in their retirement home.
However, it is no microwave cooking for her on Mother`s Day, she says. She wants to be catered to after playing 18 holes of golf with the pink butterfly golf balls her grandsons give her each year.

If you've been following Dickinson news this semester, you know that actor and activist Mark Ruffalo was on campus this October as the 2015 recipient of the Sam Rose '58 and Julie Walters Prize at Dickinson College for Global Environmental Activism. Ruffalo's residency included classroom presentations, meetings with student organizations and a public Q-and-A with the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues' executive director, Amy Farrell, professor of American studies and women's & gender studies. Here, he discusses what he's passionate about with writer/editor Tony Moore.
Moore: Between the Solutions Project and your anti-fracking work, you're becoming a real voice in issues involving the energy complex. How did you get so interested in these issues?
Ruffalo: About six years ago, Ramsay Adams, son of John Adams, took me to Dimock, Pa., to show me this new thing, hydrofracking, and how it was affecting people's lives and communities there, and I saw really desperate people who couldn't find a place to air their grievances. They just didn't seem to have a voice, and they basically were asking me to tell the world their story. So I ran home—I wanted to get out of there quickly because that seemed a huge responsibility to me—and I was lying in bed that night, thinking, "OK, Ruffalo, are you really who you say you are? Do you really care about your community? Do you really care about the people around you? Do you believe in justice? Do you think we have responsibility for each other? Or do you just say those things and not act on them, and to what degree are you willing to act on them?"
And I was very fortunate. I have a nice acting career and I also have a voice that happens to reach further maybe than some of those folks, and so that became a place that I saw that I could be useful, and then I just started to study energy. And the question became, "Is there a way to move forward without polluting ourselves and our communities, and has this hundred years of concentrated hydrocarbons taken us to a place now where we can evolve in an energy sense?" And that took me to Stanford University, and I met with Professor Mark Jacobson, who's the head of the civil engineering department at Stanford. He'd done a white paper saying we could move, hypothetically speaking, the entire United States to 100 percent renewable energy in 50 years if we really put our minds to it based on the technology that we have today. And not only that, but it would create jobs, it would save billions of dollars in remediation and externalities. It would deal with blackouts. Once you have a piece of science that's been peer-reviewed out of a place like Stanford, the entire conversation shifts. And I said, "Can you do this plan, but for a single state?" And that bloomed into the Solutions Project. Now we have 50 plans for 50 states. This winter, we'll have plans done for every country in the world to take them to 100 percent renewable energy.
Moore: So technology's the answer, in a way?
Ruffalo: It's technology and knowledge, and maybe a simpler life for us, maybe more local-based economies, but really taking it to a much deeper level.
Moore: What do you tell your kids about the environment and your work on behalf of it?
Ruffalo: I'm actually pretty hopeful about things. There are a lot of really wonderful people who are joining in this movement at a moment when the technology is able to take us to another place. There's a whole awakening of people, and so I share with them what they can understand at 13, 10 and 8. A lot of it, they learn in school. I'm surprised by what they come home to tell me about. I taught them to love their surroundings, and I think that's a really good place to start.
Moore: Obviously, Dickinson is committed to sustainability and working for the environment, and we're so happy to have you here. What is it about Dickinson's mission that made you want to come here for the Rose-Walters Prize and to become part of our community for the residency?
Ruffalo: One of the issues that I really work with and that got me started was water. Most of the data that the environmental side has to rely upon is either industry-produced or produced by the state or colleges, and I see the future of the commons and really the idea of how to protect water in the hands of the communities, in the hands of students of ALLARM. Your ALLARM program here is an amazing start to what could be done all over the United States. I know it's been here for 30 years, but just in the past five years it started to move out into the rest of the nation, and with novel and newer and easier and cheaper testing technologies, we could start to really create a wall of defense that will deter polluters but also make it easier to catch them when they do it.
Moore: You're fighting to ensure that fracking stays banned in New York state. Do you see any hope for fracking? Is there a way, on the horizon somewhere, where it could work and it wouldn't be dangerous?
Ruffalo: I don't see it. It uses enormous amounts of fresh water in a time when fresh water is becoming more and more precious. Not only does it use it, but it's very hard to recycle it. Up to 13 million gallons of fresh water are used to frack one well. Out of those millions of gallons, they can only pull up about two-thirds of it. The rest of it has to stay in the ground forever. Out of that water, an enormous portion of that has got to be deep-well injected because it's coming up with so much contamination that it can't be put back into the system, so you're losing fractions of the water table on the planet. You're running a mass experiment that is completely out of control and without any understanding of where you're headed in a time when, with global warming, we're seeing these massive rolling droughts.
Another aspect is, when you drill a well hole, you're actually creating a pathway between contamination down there and your aquifers, so it isn't so much that somehow the fracking fluid's going to work its way up a crack or something; the fracking fluid and the contamination are working their way up into aquifers from the very well that you're drilling, and these wells are failing. They're failing at 6 percent by the industry's own numbers. And they want to drill 55,000 wells in the next 10 years.
You also have the fact that, if we're going to follow the science of climate change—I can't even believe I have to qualify that with an "if"—methane is between 30 and 70 times more damaging a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and the amount of methane that we're losing in transporting fracked gas or extracting fracked gas blows by any benefit that the gas burns twice as clean as any other fossil fuel. All of these issues together make it not only unsafe but would have been incredibly unwise, and right now we have the technology to move past this age-old way of powering our world.
Moore: What alternative energies are you most excited about?
Ruffalo: What's made alternative energy difficult is the pricing, but what we've seen throughout history is that fossil fuels rise at about 12 percent above inflation, and we're seeing renewable energies dropping every year. We're at parity right now with wind—it costs the same amount to put a wind turbine out as it does to power your house with natural gas or coal. We're about three years away from solar being at parity. At some point there's an inflection point, and then we're going to pass it. But the energy industry is heavily subsidized by our tax-paying dollars. If we were to pull those tax-paying dollars away, fossil fuels would be a done deal, because renewable energy and the electrification of our transportation system would be so much cheaper.
Moore: As you know, our students are fighting for various environmental causes. What would you say to them about really making their mark in the environmental realm?
Ruffalo: These students are in a very interesting part of the history of mankind, probably not like any other time. You have a way of communicating in a mass, decentralized way, so a lot of information can be passed along to a lot of people without filtration. You also have the specter of climate change, which is existential—probably one of the most existential threats mankind has ever faced. I would say that it's probably an incredibly exciting time to be alive. It's a purpose-driven time. It's a time when our values as human beings can really come into focus, and I would just say be bold. This is a chance to live a really full and exciting life, and what you guys are particularly doing is way out in front of a lot of people, so you're leaders, and more so than any other generation, you can actually engineer what the future's going to look like.

I'm BORED with this damn theme…I want something new and exciting, but i'm too lazy to put something together because I have other things that are going on.
It's raining today…so it took me an added 30 minutes on top of my daily 1 hour to get to work this morning. I can not WAIT until the company moves closer to all of our homes *January 1*.
I'm still waiting for them to update my status already, so that I can enroll in classes and get started already. I already have my classes picked out, so hopefully, once it's updated, I can enroll, pay for classes and get my crap together. I've got high aspirations for this Masters.
2checkout.com is a bust. No one there knows what they're talking about…I had to bypass two people and ask them to let me talk to someone else before I found someone who was actually willing to get up from their chair and go talk to "the CEO". The person who actually helped me was named Courtney and he was Black too…what a coinkidink!

Get Rich or Die Trying
I think Incog and I are going to go see this tonight once he gets off work. But I dont know if it will be worth it.
'Get Rich or Die Tryin' ' lacks life – By Robert Horton – Herald Movie Critic
It's a matter of record that the screenplay of "Get Rich or Die Tryin'†" is a heavily fictionalized version of the real life of rapper 50 Cent, billed here as Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. But there's no way his real life could have been as dull as the movie.
…followed by other headlines like…
Inert 50 Cent doesn't get off the dime in 'Get Rich'
50 Cent flick not worth two bits
An effort not quite right on the money
'Get Rich' a poor debut
If anything, I'll enjoy spending time with Incog at our favorite past time…the movie theatre. :)
WHO'S UP FOR GOOBERS!? :high5:

The Best Ways to Use Breaks to Be More Productive Infographic
Between working, exercising and spending time with family, you may think you're giving yourself enough breaks, but what about during work? Taking breaks throughout your work day is vital to maximizing productivity. Think you don't have time? Even a 30-second break can account for an increase in productivity.
There are different strategies for a work-break balance too, and it's important to find the one that is best for you. For example, try out a 25/5-minute split -- that means work in 25-minute blocks and take five-minute breaks between. If that doesn't work for you, there's also 50/10 minute split.
To learn how you can start taking breaks and maximize your time, check out Quid Corner's infographic below.

On Wednesday night, I was tweeting with a new Twitter follower and now new iFriend – KatyKate about Remicade. She'd been on Enbrel and Humira before and was completely comfortable with administering her own injections, but was recently switched to Remicade. I could tell immediately she was scared about it. I mean, I was. (I was scared out of my mind because insurance companies classify the drug as "chemotherapy". Oh boy!) As the chat went on, she included one of her other friends into the mix who is about to start on Remicade too. By this time, sparks were flying for a blog post (and if I'm truly honest, a "duh moment").
Keep in mind, I'm not an expert. Not in any shape or form, but I've been on Remicade for 14 years and have had over 100 infusions! To put THAT into perspective, I received Remicade before it was FDA approved for ankylosing spondylitis and at the time only had TWO biologic medications available. The other? Enbrel which didn't work for me. Friends, we've come a long, long way! But for the purposes of THIS post, I think 14 years of experience of going to the "Infusion Room" qualifies me to answer just a few questions. So, let's get started!
"Can you drive home after?"
You can. And I do now. However, for your first infusion or until you get a good sense of how you are going to react, I would ask someone to either sit with you or drop-off/pick you up. You just never know how you're going to react to this powerful medication.
"Do you feel ill after?"
Yes and no. When I first started Remicade, I would drive an hour and half to my Infusion Room on a Friday afternoon after my college courses. Once complete, I would go straight to Winter Guard practice. I would practice sometimes up to 6 hours with non-stop dancing and spinning large objects (flags, rifles, and sabers). I'd maybe get 6 hours of sleep, get up early, go back to practice for about 6 hours before our first competition that afternoon with the potential of another that evening. To top it off, I'd then go out afterwards to celebrate. The next morning I'd travel the 1.5 hours back to college. I did this for TWO years because I loved the sport. OK, and I was 18, 19, and 20. Dumb, young, and proud of it.
Now at the age of thirty, flirty, and thriving (I had too!) I go straight home afterwards because I almost always feel queasy. Once home, I work for a few more hours and then completely crash usually binge watching a TV program until I fall asleep. And I usually fall asleep early.
"What should I wear?"
Comfy clothes. Image you are stuck in a movie theater in shorts and a tank top and they blast the A/C! But you can't leave because the movie is SO good. Like Harry Potter good. Well, that's kind of how it feels when you're getting your infusion. You are freezing internally because the Remicade medication is administered COLD. Oh and you can't move for a minimum of two hours. Okay, you can get up and walk around, but you have an IV following you everywhere you go. For me, I wear layers. I suggest reading some of my "Infusion Outfit Inspiration" posts or even my Campfire Layers featuring ModCloth. I'm not ashamed to wear winter clothing in the middle of summer during my "Remicade Day".
"Will I be bored?"
Two hours is an extremely long time to just sit there. You could take a nap but why not be prepared! Find out ahead of time either from your doctor or by calling the Infusion Room to ask what they have available. Here are a few items to ask:
- Do you have WiFi?
- Do you have a private sitting areas?
- Do you have snacks? Or do you provide lunch?
- Do you have heated blankets and pillows? At the very least do you have heated seats?
- Do you have private TV viewing?
- Do I have to pay for parking?
Keep in mind you and/or your insurance company are paying high amounts for this medication so don't feel guilty for asking for "free things". Everything listed above is available and free at my clinic. Actually, it's been available at every clinic I've gone too (3 so far!), so always ask if this is something they could add to make your experience more enjoyable.
"Does it work?"
I would like to think so. 🙂 I've been on it for 14 years without any fusion, major side effects, and started to reverse the trend of how much medication I require. I've also maintained very active and healthy lifestyle to compliment the drug. Especially as at the time, I was on my last hope of any relief. I took it in my own hands to make it last as long as possible.
I also like to think it works because most people who don't know me, and therefore don't know I have arthritis, think I'm a healthy young woman. For me, I mostly consider myself lucky.
To end this post, I think it would be awesome if everyone sent my iFriends: @KatyKate and @Kenzie a little tweet wishing them a happy and successful first Remicade treatment!
What would you add to the list?

Over the past five years, the Ethiopian government and MSH have been working shoulder to shoulder to improve and expand the country's tuberculosis services with the goal of alleviating the burden of the disease.
If you wonder whether foreign assistance is money well spent, just look at the remarkable progress we've made in Ethiopia, where only a few years ago the stock out rate for TB drugs was as high as 20 percent. That number today is about two percent.
Our tuberculosis work in Ethiopia supported 55 million people between 2010 and 2016. During that period, we improved case detection, diagnosis, and treatment mechanisms; strengthened the laboratory capacity of more than 2,000 facilities to diagnose TB; improved the supply management of TB drugs; and trained tens of thousands of health workers at all levels of the health system.
The upside is not just the thousands of lives saved or improved, but the strengthening of a health system that is now better equipped not only to respond to TB, but also to other diseases, therefore helping the people of Ethiopia live healthier lives, contribute to their economy, and make their country a more stable and peaceful place to live.
MSH will host and support events in five countries this week to honor World TB Day.
Observed March 24, World TB Day raises awareness and mobilizes support for efforts around the world working to end tuberculosis (TB). The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated this year's theme as "Unite to End TB: Leave No One Behind," and many of the day's activities will focus on addressing stigma, discrimination, and marginalization.
MSH has been a leader in strengthening health systems to fight against TB since 1999 and is working with partners in 22 countries to prevent the spread of the disease and improve the lives of those affected by it.
In Afghanistan, the Challenge TB project — funded by USAID — will lead 20 awareness events in five cities and will deliver messaging about TB in schools and health facilities. The project will also lead conferences in three provinces, focusing on successful interventions like Urban Directly Observed Treatment and the TB Information System.
The Challenge TB project will also lead World TB Day activities in 11 districts in Bangladesh, ranging from orientations and discussions with workers, to programs at schools, to rallies, to a "sputum collection camp" at an outreach center.
This article was originally published on LillyPad, a blog run by the global health care company Eli Lilly, on February 16.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health crisis. In his AMR review, renowned economist Jim O'Neill estimates a loss of US$100 trillion in global productivity by the year 2050 if swift, comprehensive action to fight AMR is not taken. The publication acknowledges multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) as a "cornerstone of the global AMR challenge."
This article was originally published on Devex on October 26, 2016
I was exposed to the plight of children with tuberculosis early in my 32 years of experience as a physician. I was a medical intern in a provincial hospital in Peru's jungle region. I noticed Adrian, a severely malnourished 3-year-old child in the corner of the ward, feverish and breathing with great difficulty. His condition didn't respond to pneumonia treatment, and a chest X-ray revealed liquid surrounding the right lung. My attending physician concluded that Adrian had severe malnutrition and pneumonia and decided to continue his antibiotic treatment.
Adrian died on the third day of my watch. An autopsy revealed the little boy had been afflicted with TB. That was likely why he died, not malnutrition or pneumonia. We later found out that Adrian was living with an uncle who had recently died "coughing blood." My attending physician confessed that he had been so focused on managing the presumed pneumonia that he didn't think about TB as an alternative diagnosis.
Tuberculosis (TB) claims a life every 15 seconds; it is the single largest infectious killer and is universally recognized as a global epidemic. Nearly 200 children die every day of TB.
The challenges of tackling TB are well known, particularly in settings with limited resources, crowded urban environments, and among high risk groups including people living with HIV, prisoners, and children. The emergence of multidrug resistant strains of the disease (MDR-TB), the result of incomplete or poor managed TB treatment, present further obstacles and add exponential costs to already burdened health systems. Furthermore, challenges with access to, affordability, and proper use of pharmaceuticals and laboratory materials can have devastating consequences on diagnosis and treatment.
The key to ending TB is to work together to strengthen health systems in high TB-burden countries to be able to effectively implement both proven and innovative strategies. Four approaches will help save lives by uniting stakeholders to collaborate, innovate, and end TB:
When my daughter got sick, I took her to a clinic in my neighborhood. They gave her cough syrup for seven days.
I thought she was getting better, but it was apparent that she was still ill. After another examination, they referred her to St. Paul Hospital in Addis Ababa where they put her on oxygen and started taking blood sample after sample and injection after injection for a month. Her condition did not get better so they gave her another medicine. The doctors then decided to take blood from her back… only then did they know it was tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) kills more people each year than any other infectious disease, causing over 1.5 million deaths globally. More than a quarter of cases are in Africa, the region with the highest burden of TB disease relative to population. Children are amongst the most vulnerable, and all too often children with TB remain in the shadows, undiagnosed, uncounted, and untreated. Today, more than 53 million children worldwide are infected with TB and over 400 die each day from this preventable and curable disease.
Management Sciences for Health (MSH) presented seven abstracts at the 8th International Aids Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2015) in Vancouver, Canada, July 19-22, 2015.
Health workers throughout the developing world provide vital services and improve the lives of the people they serve, and yet they are often invisible. These men and women conduct community outreach, provide key prevention messages in the community, and deliver clinical care, treatment, and follow-up. In Uganda, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) TRACK TB project, led by Management Sciences for Health (MSH), supports 52 community linkage facilitators to help increase tuberculosis (TB) case detection and treatment success rates.
As their name suggests, they serve as the link between the patient and the health facility. The facilitators receive a monthly allowance, mobile phones, paid airtime, and transportation reimbursement as they track treatment adherence of TB patients in and around Kampala, Uganda's capital. The facilitators are critical to successful implementation of the World Health Organization's DOTS (directly observed treatment short-course) strategy, which helps patients adhere to treatment.
The invitation-only conference will feature country experiences using tested approaches to prevent tuberculosis (TB) medicine stock-outs, increase TB case detection through private sector engagement, and ensure patient safety during TB treatment. National TB program (NTP) managers or deputies; NTP procurement and supply management leads; monitoring and evaluation leads for TB/data managers; donors; and World Health Organization and Stop TB Partnership partners are expected to attend.

Eight years ago Busisiwe Beko was undergoing treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) when, after months of waiting to see a pediatric specialist, her daughter was diagnosed with the same illness. The five-month-old baby was admitted to a TB hospital where she would receive treatment for seven months; Busisiwe, however, was turned away due to lack of space. Today, both mother and daughter are healthy. And, their experience with MDR-TB didn't stop at their cure. Busisiwe went on to join Médecins Sans Frontières as a counselor for MDR-TB patients in her community, providing the support and medication counseling that she wished she had received during treatment.

From airlines, cruise traces, and motels to eating places, tour companies, and theme parks, the travel and leisure industry employs millions of Americans each year and rates among the prime 10 employers, in keeping with the U.S. Travel Association. There are four primary necessities of travel: transportation, lodging, dining, and entertainment. Tourists could select to mix a number of components in a plan that a travel agent arranges, or they may choose to create a vacation and deal with all the planning personally. Written travel guides are available for almost every major vacation spot, and the Internet has turn into a remarkably powerful instrument for gathering travel information, planning, and reserving lodging.
There are a lucky few who manage to combine work and research with leisure activities. Instead of sitting inside the confines of an office or a classroom, they get to hold out their responsibilities, with out shedding out on enjoyment. In truth, traveling imparts so much information that it is regarded as the best trainer in the world. Here are a number of the reasons why leisure travel is so standard.
Fatima – With its origins deep in history, it was in the course of the Arabian occupation that this settlement developed and was named. According to legend, in the course of the Christian Reconquest, the Templar knight Goncalo Hermingues, also referred to as Bringer-of-Moors, fell in love with Fatima, a Moor captured in the course of an ambush. Reciprocating the love, the young lady converted to Christianity and adopted the title Oureana.
Travel has grow to be the preferred leisure activity on this planet. Every yr, the number of vacationers and tourism spends are rising steadily; in 2010, the international tourist arrivals nearly touched a billion (a development of 6.6%), while the spending is near USD 100 billion (a development of 4.7%). This is heartening, as these development figures are in spite of the threats posed by well being warnings and international recession.
Along this route, there are 14 chapels donated by Hungarian Catholic refugees in the West. Of specific notice is Valinhos, 400 metres from the village where monuments commemorate the fourth apparition in 1917 as well as the place chosen by the angel. Here, in 1916, the shepherds saw the Angel of Peace for the primary and third instances.

I get asked a lot to shoot headshot photos. To be honest, it's a lot of fun. Challenging at times, but always an exciting time, and is my favorite thing to do, photo wise.
I try to make it as fun as possible, and as quick as possible , since everyone has a busy schedule, myself included.
I thought I would give my take, on my style of shooting humans :)
I break it down , to my usual simple way of thinking. ...Wall Street or Hollywood??
Both have there place, and both are equally demanding for the photographer, albeit in different ways. But this discussion is about offering my take on one or the other.
Wall Street, to me, is a bit more of a traditional look. Typically, attorneys, doctors, bankers, etc. call for this type of image. Using a main light coming from one direction, and a little fill light from the opposite. Maybe, maybe not, a gradient swath of light, behind the subject, making them stand out from the background. A classic , standard in the photo biz.
Hollywood , means light...LOTS OF LIGHT! This is my all time fav way of shooting. The images are vibrant, fresh, and contemporary looking.This lighting produces less shadows. Bright images, that pop!
Let's take a realtor that is looking for a new photo, for their website, or business card. When I am asked about doing a session...my response is...WHITE background....really WHITE :)
Here is my thinking. The vibrant image, on a crisp hi key background, offers a lot to advantages to a realtor.
For instance. It's a much cleaner look, to use this type of image on a new business card, or even on a property flier, than it is to use a photo, lets say, with a tree growing out of the agents head..( i see that a lot :0), or other distracting elements in the photo, that take away from the impact of the agents smiling face.
Same thing goes for website headshots. To me..the white background photo has IMPACT.
The photo can always be photoshopped to have a different colored background, as seen here. My point is, the white background makes can produce a terrific, natural looking shot, and offers a great starting point, should changes be wanted or needed down the road.
But for me...WHITE...., it is just an awesome look.
If your in need of a new look, a new headshot, or new images for your website, let's chat!
Till next time....remember....

Researchers Develop Better Understanding of Economics on Buying Locally from Service Firms
The premise that locally owned and operated businesses in both retail and service sectors generate greater local economic activity than their chain counterparts has become widely understood and accepted. In communities across the nation and abroad, public policy has adapted to this reality through a variety of planning and zoning tools.
By putting a dollar value to the impact, this study by Civic Economics provides evidence of the strength local suppliers—that are not retail firms—have on our local economy.

Montessori bells are off the charts expensive and
honestly, I cannot afford them.
I bought a set of these sometime ago from a kindy teacher and they sounded great.
You can get similar ones here
Instead of matching to another set of bells, I use the keyboard and tuning fork for matching.
What DID we do all day spray painted hers
I have no intention of doing that.
Nah ah. I love the colours.
They also correspond to this:
I was also so tempted to get a set similar to this from ELC
but my conscience said NO!
Btw, my conscience has my husband's voice.
Instead I bought some song cards with colored notations.
They came with corresponding stickers that I put on the keyboard.
In order to play a song, we lay the bells down and used the clapper.
Oh, he also uses it for his 'Ice cream shop'
Lil Dragon loves the bells too and when the two of them 'share',
I end up with migraine.
What else do you do with musical bells?
I bought a ton of this shoe boxes from Daiso.
Perfect for storing toys and such.
