Doctor insights on:
Caffeine And Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
What is the simplest definition of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd)?
COPD...: COPD is a disease characterized by the presence of chronic, irreversible airway obstruction as measured by pulmonary function testing. The disease is incurable but there are treatments available so see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. The most important treatment is smoking cessation since smoking is the main etiology of this disease. ...Read more
Respiratory (Definition)
Pertaining to the work of breathing done by the chest ...Read more
What are the effects of exercise and caffeine on pulmonary function testing?
Nothing. Caffeine &-: -exercise will effect your heart rate, but not effect your PFC's. ...Read more
Help please? I want to know what are the impacts of exercise and caffeine on pulmonary function testing?
Improvements: In lung function testing, albeit mild. Caffeine has similar but much less potent effects as an old asthma medication known as theophylline (a bronchodilatory). It has been shown to improve FEV1 and mid‐expiratory flow rates by 5% or so. Exercise seems to have more wide sweeping effects in PFTs (even more so in asthmatic patients) than caffeine but again the overall effect is still modest. ...Read more
How long before chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) take your life?
Depends: COPD is a progressive condition. From first diagnosis the time can be considerable. Today's drugs (not all cases need them), pulmonary rehab, exercise programs and many more can allow a long and productive time. Of course smoking cessation (if applicable) can slow the progression. ...Read more

Can someone explain to me what COPD is? It's chronic obstructive pulmonary disease but what is that exactly please?
Chronic Lung Disease: COPD is a disease of inflammation and/or destruction of the lung. Most often, it is from smoking cigarettes, but not always. There are two main components: chronic bronchitis, which is coughing up mucus every day; and emphysema, which is destruction of the lung tissue. Both conditions block air from completely exiting the lung causing symptoms. That said, it can be treated effectively and be well. ...Read more
What to do if I have been diagnoised with COPD / chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can anyone tell me about it am 48 yr?
COPD...: COPD is a slowly progressive lung disease usually caused by smoking. Quitting smoking is essential to slowing the disease progression. Treatment usually involves bronchodilator and steroid inhalers to alleviate symptoms. If your oxygen level is low enough, supplemental oxygen therapy will also slow disease progression. See a lung doctor for both diagnosis and treatment. ...Read more
What can causes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) in infants?
Not used for infants: There is a bpd, bronchopulmonary dysplasia that occurs in infants but I HAV never heard of the term COPD used in infants. ...Read more
Help! I've been having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) in infants?
Not sure...: I'm not sure I understand your question. COPD is not typically a disease diagnosed in infancy! There is a form of COPD, Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, which is caused by an enzyme deficiency and can be diagnosed at an earlier age. But, this is usually not diagnosed in infancy but rather in early adulthood. Please ask the question again if I am misunderstanding it! ...Read more
What do you suggest to give to a patient who has a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease copd?
Treatment...: Treatment of COPD usually consists of bronchodilator and steroid inhalers as well as supplemental oxygen, if the oxygen level in the blood is low. Smoking cessation is a necessary part of treatment. Other treatments depend on the specific symptoms present. There is no cure! ...Read more
What do I have to face now that I'm diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)?
Depends: The most important challenge is stopping smoking if you are still smoking. Otherwise, it depends on your symptoms and severity of lung disease. Medications and regular exercise can help. ...Read more
What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? The doctor said my husband has copd. What is that and how is it treated?
Chronic lung disease: In a nutshell COPD is the chronic condition of the airways in the lungs that are chronically "smothering" resulting in decrease in the airway lumen (wheezin), excessive secretions (phlegm) and disturbance in gas exchange beween the lungs and blood. Usually COPD is associated with cigarette smoking. It is a serious and progressive condition that can be life threatening. ...Read more
What is emphysema vs copd? Is emphysema the same as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
Categories....: Copd, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is the broader category. Emphysema is one type of copd, ie emphysema falls under the category of copd. ...Read more
What are the risk for a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) patient having a radical nephrectomy?
Depends: COPD exists with varying severity, and most patients can have surgery with no significant increased risk. If COPD is very severe, or there is significant chronic sputum production, surgical risk is higher, but experienced teams of surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and respiratory therapists can help mitigate the risk. One important thing you have control over is pre-op smoking cessation. ...Read more
I have just found out that I have COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) has anyone got ideas on treatment of it?
COPD treatment: The most important thing you can do for COPD is to stop smoking. Other treatments include inhaled medicines such as albuterol, ipratopium, tiotropium, and inhaled steroids (there are several of them). Patients who are very symptomatic benefit from systemic steroids and antibiotics. Make sure your immunizations are up to date including yearly flu vaccine. Finally, getting regular exercise helps. ...Read more
Hi doctors, was just wondering what is carbon dioxide narcosis in relation to COPD or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
Carbon dioxide...: Carbon dioxide levels can elevate in COPD patients due to the inability to ventilate properly. This increased carbon dioxide level can lead to symptoms that are similar to acutely taking narcotics which has lead to the expression carbon dioxide narcosis. Symptoms include lethargy, confusion, disorientation, decreased sensations, etc. ...Read more
Is a flu shot mandatory if I have chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (copd)?
YES!: If you mean mandatory that the government is going to come and give you the vaccine, then no. You always have the right to decide your health care options. If you mean mandatory as really, really a good idea for someone with a chronic respiraotry disease, then yes. Flu could kill you. It really is as simple as that. Exchange the pain of a shot for possible life-saving treatment today. ...Read more
Would oxygen therapy be helpful for chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (copd)?
Can be: Oxygen therapy improves survival in COPD patients...But only if they need it. Some patients have such severe disease that they can't maintain a normal oxygen level. This is when oxygen therapy is helpful. Often we check patient's oxygen levels with an oximeter, a machine that measures the level of oxygen in the bloodstream. Patients qualify for treatment if the level is less than 88%. ...Read more
If you have copd, will the disease carry over into the lungs transplants you receive?
Not usually: COPD is usually an acquired problem. However, if the causes are duplicated in the transplanted lungs (i.e. Heavy smoking) it could recur over years. ...Read more
I have copd. My recent xray said- No sign of active pulmonary disease is present. What does this mean?
Strictly: Speaking, that conclusion means that there is no acute or active process that requires treatment, but doesn't address any chronic changes (e.g. possibly COPD-type changes) that the radiologist considers not significant or at least not relevant to the current situation. Practically speaking, many radiologists use that, or similar, phrases for all normal chest xrays. Talk to your doc about results. ...Read more
Is it the same thing as copd? I've been sick for 2 weeks and just couldn't get over it Dr said I have bronchospastic pulmonary disease
COPD is a chronic disease lasting years. You may have a viral infection or an allergy that is causing this reaction. If it lasts another 2 weeks, it would be prudent to consult a pulmonary medicine specialist.
Wish you good health! ...Read more

So low ACE is related to copd, I can't get answer on pulmonary, they refuse to answer. Ggt I can't follow, as I have never drnk alcoho. How liver disease?
Two questions: If low angiotensin converting enzyme means anything at all, that is news to me despite an internet claim. Elevated, it is of some usefulness as a not-sensitive, not-specific screen for sarcoidosis. About 1 person in 1000 has lone elevated GGT on a genetic basis, and I occasionally have to write letters telling employers that these people are not secretly boozing. Does this help? ...Read more
I took my pro air hfa inhaler before my pulmonary function testing. Would this affect my results if I have COPD, lung damage, or other diseases?
It would...:
Improve reversible airway obstruction, as in asthma. Chronic obstructive lung disease, e.g. emphysema, chronic bronchotis, fibrosis, othet, has much more of a permament, irreversible, and less reversible, component to the obstruction. Drugs like proair have less
of an effect. Lack of a response is one factor in making the diagnosis. ...Read more
I had a CT of chest done and it showed hyperinflated lungs...Which could be asthma-copd-lung disease right? Could these cause atrial fibrillation?
COPD: Not really, there is not direct correlation. However you are more likely to mat (multifocal atrial tachycardia) with lung disease. ...Read more
With chronic bronchitis or copd, what is the color & texture is the mucous or secretions from the lungs?

27 years old with hyperinflated lungs? I have had chronic anxiety and stress and am wondering if this could have caused it or is it asthma or copd?

Upfront ad sales to hike 20% this year
Barclays Capital analyst estimates sales of $8.26 bilNEW YORK -- Broadcast TV upfront advertising sales will rise 20% over last year to $8.26 billion and slightly outperform the cable TV upfront market's gain of 15%-20%, Barclays Capital analyst Anthony DiClemente estimated early Wednesday.
He cited ratings trends, improved confidence of U.S. corporations amid the economic recovery, strength in key segments, such as automotive ads, a "de-risking" for marketers looking to lock in pricing, higher network inventory sellout levels, a strong scatter market (with prices 15%-25% higher than last season's upfront levels) and likely high-single-digit increases in upfront ad prices.
But the rebound from last year's 21.8% drop to $6.88 billion would still com in slightly behind the broadcast networks' 2007-2008 upfront haul, according to the analyst.
"Broadcast TV should outperform cable TV in growth of dollar volume year-over-year, though any narrowing of the pricing gap between broadcast and cable would bode well for cable on a relative basis," DiClemente wrote.
Among broadcast networks, CBS (+28%) and Fox (+22%) are likely to see the biggest total upfront dollar gains to $2.43 billion and $1.96 billion, respectively, since they are the only networks to post season-to-date ratings gains across all demographics, DiClemente predicted. Last year, they were down 23.6% and 17.5%, respectively, a chart in his report showed.
NBC (estimated to gain 13% to $1.65 billion after last year's 20.9% decline) and ABC (+16% to $2.21 billion after -23.9%) will see smaller gains as "they are constrained by weaker recurring ratings performances," he added. But he said NBC's return to programming the 10pm slot after the "failed experiment of lower-cost The Jay Leno Show" will help NBC compared with last year's upfront.
In terms of ad price increases, Fox and CBS are likely to see mid- to high- single digit CPM gains, with NBC and ABC gains likely to be in the mid-single digit range.
Overall, DiClemente anticipates an average sell-out ratio of 77%, compared to 70% last year.
Auto ads could be key upfront drivers as the U.S. ad industry lost $3.5 billion of auto ad dollars in 2009 compared to 2008, according to the analyst. "The return of these ad dollars could substantially drive upfront volume, especially for networks with heavy sports content," he said.

How do I live my life now? After the "gift" of cancer, I am more bold, more mindful and more aware.
Welcome! I'm Chiara, triple negative breast cancer survivor; here is my journey, I hope it helps you!
How do I live my life now? After the "gift" of cancer, I am more bold, more mindful and more aware.
During chemotherapy, I was certainly not myself: fear, poison and steroids pumped through my veins; I knew it was only temporary, but the end of temporary seemed an eternity.
I'm alive, the fundamental fact I took for granted before my cancer diagnosis.
I've earned my gauntlets.
The moment I hear my doubting voice, I acknowledge it then take action reaching for what I want, without feeling ashamed!
After going through cancer, I have no apologies, and I ask for what I want.
"I chose Love and Joy."
The soles of my feet have walked across many exotic roads and battle zones.
Chemo is terribly ugly - it feels grippingly horrible on the inside and I felt unattractive on the outside.
It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions.
I'm open for the great things to come my way!
It's a great goal!
Decide to make a radical change and let go.
Each day, each step I took, was an effort.
At forty-three, I received the gift of realization that life is short.
I didn't do it alone...I grab for my friends' and my angels' hands all the time.
I feel I can conquer anything.
Imagine living a life where your purpose is integrated into your every day.
I just envision putting my backpack on and catching the next train/bus/tram/flight to my next adventure.
(advice that should be taken by those family members who still care about what people say in small, Italian home towns!)

Huh? August?
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008
Life with the midget (as we fondly refer to our enormous, 95th precentile, 7-kilo baby) is starting to look a bit like a life again instead of a long, hectic day. He smiles. He laughs. He eats faster. He sleeps longer. He learned to make noise by banging a rattle repeatedly against my head. He says Ah-Goo and holds his head up. He anticipates events and gets angry if they don't happen fast enough. He realized there are cats living in the house (Ah! Goo!). He is slowly coming out of the "newborn-ness" that surrounded his existence until now.
I'm learning too. My aunt was here a while ago and we talked about her work, and she told me that the reason she is so efficient in her work is because she doesn't like it and prefers to get it over with as fast as she can. And I realized, whatever I choose to do now, it's gotta be fun. It's gotta be something I'll want to do so much, that I won't want to just get it over with. And very slowly, ideas that swam around in my head for the last 2-3 years are starting
to take the shape of sketches and Google Documents and excited phone
calls. Slowly, becasue I know myself, and I tend to get over-excited about new projects and then burn out faster then a match. And this time I want it to work. And when Toam looks at me 20 years from now I want him to see that I did what made me happy and fulfilled and not what paid the bills, because that's how I hope he'll live his life, too.
Meanwhile, I spend a lot of time online, looking for inspiration. Feel free to check out these hand-picked, kiddy links:
Small Magazine (check out the ads, they each lead to sites more amazing and wonderous then you can imagine)
Keri Smith writes about motherhood and creativity. In a somewhat kitchy way, but kitch does tend to become the truth when it comes to babies.
Baby Rings – A toy to sew for young ones (this is a link to a PDF file)
e-coloriage – Eco-themed coloring pages for kids (to print out. Which kind of beats the whole ecology thing, but I guess you could color them on the computer, too)
Cuteable – blogging everything that is cute, and not just for kids
Ohdeeoh – blogging everything that is for kids, and not just cute
And my recent find, Camille Soulayrol, a French (I think..) stylist. I want to live in her world. don't forget to roll over the dots under the photo and wait a bit.
And, for those of you who are poetically-inclined, check out my cousin's review of "Twist of Address", on Slope magazine.

Vintage Fisher Price Play Family
#938 Sesame St. House
99% Complete
Here is a CLASSIC Fisher Price Little People #938 Sesame Street House for your inspection! Manufactured between 1975-76, this play set is getting harder and harder to find, especially in this condition (EXC++--NEAR MINT). I've painstakingly scoured the United States to assemble this "TREASURE." This particular offering is 99% COMPLETE! The only thing missing is the RARE Fisher Price eraser. To help compensate for this omission, I've included a couple of extra Fisher Price accessories.
The plastic handle, locking mechanism, and the rest of the plastic roof and base are completely intact. Upon close scrutiny, I can spy the following "imperfections" on this plastic base:
1. A few, light scuffs and minor surface scratches on the middle part of the roof above Mr. Hooper's Store; I believe the surface scratches and possibly the scuff will become less visible with an application of Armor All and a gentle buffing;
2. Some darkening of the bolts on the roof and those anchoring the white, plastic handle; I may be able to alleviate some of this discoloration by applying a generous application of Naval Jelly; however, I am not sure whether this will entirely correct the situation;
3. Some mild-moderate soiling and a few extraneous marks; I believe this soiling and marks will be eradicated during the cleaning process; and
4. Some darkening and a tad amount of rust on the screws on the underneath side of the base; I am not going to mess with these as they are not visible while the set is on display or in play.
All of the plastic surfaces are devoid of any chips, "dings," breaks, cracks, discolorations, or fading. They're in wonderful shape (EXC++-NR MINT). It's unbelievable that this base is 40 years young!
The EXTERIOR lithos are in wonderful condition! After closely examining this piece, I can ONLY find the following:
1. Some minor darkening of the main Fisher Price litho due to age;
2. One, hair-line vertical crease over the "S" in "Fisher" along with a 1/16" in diameter bubble near the top of the same litho;
3. Some minor edge wear on the left-hand door litho on the green half of the Sesame St. House;
4. Three minor bubbles on the scroll work above the blue and white awning over Mr. Hooper's Store; and
5. Three scratches on the tire-swing litho; one of these is @ 1/2" L near the top right side of the litho; the other two scratches are located under the lower set of green steps; both of these are @1" L; none of these scratches really jump out at you since the litho already has a "weathered look;" in fact, I didn't even notice these until I was doing my final pass over all the lithos before listing this set.
I'm being super "nit-picky" in my description of these "imperfections." I do not want to disappoint any of my customers. Many sellers would not even note some of these "flaws." In general, I would categorize these EXTERIOR lithos as being in EXC-EXC++ condition.
The INTERIOR WALL and FLOOR lithos are likewise in wonderful condition (EXC-EXC++)!! Specifically, ALL of the INTERIOR WALL lithos, except the kitchen litho, are in EXC++-NEAR MINT condition. They are generally free of any marks, rubs, bubbles, creases, stains, punctures, fading etc. The kitchen litho has some light staining on the bottom of the refrigerator litho. I do not know if I will be able to "feather" out this light water stain during the cleaning process. There is also a 1/4" L x 1/8" W faint, light brown mark on the opposite kitchen wall (e.g. below and to the left of the clock litho). I believe this barely discernible mark will come off during the cleaning process. The floor lithos in the kitchen and bedroom are similarly sublime (EXC++). After repeated inspections, the only "imperfections" I can find on these INTERIOR FLOOR lithos are:
1. Some light soiling and two, light green crayon marks on the far left hand side of the floor litho in Mr. Hooper's Store; I'm optimistic I'll be able to remove these with careful cleaning;
2. Three, narrow bubbles on the living room floor and rug litho; I found a couple of these via touch; the largest of these is 3/8" L x 1/8" W; two of these have resulted in rubs; the other is virtually invisible; and
3. Three faint rubs in addition to the ones cited above; these are also on the living room floor litho.
NOTE: These are the original lithos. I do not use reproduction lithos in my sets unless there is major damage on a given litho and only with the permission of the new owner. In the latter case, I offer the buyer a replacement litho free of charge. I then leave it up to the new owner to attach the reproduction litho. I do not believe any of these original lithos warrants a replacement litho.
The painted edges of this piece evidence some minor paint loss, especially on the green borders of Mr. Hooper's Store. This is most prominent on the outside and inner edges of the green border on the first floor of Mr. Hooper's Store. Most of these play sets exhibit a significant amount of paint loss on both sides of the wooden walls that meet in the middle. Some even manifest some cracking within the masonite trim. This one DOES NOT show any signs of cracking.
The chalkboard is in EXC++--NEAR MINT condition. Once I clean off the residual chalk marks, this chalkboard will warrant a NEAR MINT-MINT rating.
This adorable play set comes with all of the following pieces:
1 RARE gold Bert bed without its original foam (VG+--if this bed possessed all of its original foam, then it would warrant an EXC rating; since the residual foam on this bed evidenced dry rot, I removed it and replaced it with a firm, tan foam mattress; given the insertion of this new foam, I have elevated my ranking of this bed to an EXC++-NEAR MINT rating; I will not be gluing this mattress in place in case the new owner wishes to remove it);
1 RARE gold Ernie bed without its original foam (VG+--likewise, if this bed contained all of its original foam, then it would garner an EXC rating; as stated above, I have removed this deteriorating foam and replaced it with a firm, tan foam mattress; in my opinion, this bed with the new mattress garners an EXC++-NEAR MINT ranking);
1 HTF lunch counter (MINTY MINT);
1 HTF news stand (MINTY MINT);
1 VHTF Sesame St. lamp post and sign (NEAR MINT-MINT);
1 HTF gold table with pork chop litho (MINT--litho fully intact, brightly colored, and smoothly attached to the plastic surface);
1 VHTF brown Grover TV (NEAR MINT);
1 VHTF brown nest for Big Bird (NEAR MINT);
1 RARE brown coffee table (EXC++- some light scratches on top of table);
1 VHTF red fire hydrant on gray base (NEAR MINT):
2 HTF gold captain's chairs with dots on the back of the chairs; (EXC++-- NOTE: Chairs with a dot on the back were the first chairs that Fisher Price produced);
1 HTF green and white Sesame St. Sanitation Truck with Fisher Price written on wheels (EXC++);
1 VHTF blue mailbox with litho (EXC--litho is intact with minor edge wear);
1 RARE Sesame St. ladder (NEAR MINT).
This set also contains all of the beloved Sesame Street Little People characters in EXC++-- MINT condition:
1 HTF Gordon;
1 HTF Susan;
1 HTF Mr. Hooper;
1 HTF Cookie Monster;
1 HTF Bert;
1 HTF Big Bird;
1 HTF Ernie; and
1 VHTF Oscar in trash can.
Sesame St. characters of this quality (e.g. Ernie, Bert, Susan, Gordon, Big Bird, Mr. Hooper, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch) can easily command up to $60-80.00 on the internet. I've done all the work for you. I've also paired these figures with the best accessories I could find.
Since taking these photos, I have acquired and inserted the following accessories that originally accompanied this set:
1 VHTF brown couch;
1 RARE box of original, unused FP chalk (MINT: Note: all 3 pieces are in UNUSED CONDITION and UNBROKEN; box is in MINT condition).
To help compensate for the missing FP eraser, I've also included two pieces of furniture not original to this set:
2 VHTF brown stuffed chairs (MINT).
You'll see many sets out there but they are NOT configured according to the original Fisher Price specifications. Please see www.thisoldtoy.com for additional information. For example, two of the living areas (e.g. Ernie & Bert's bedroom, the kitchen, Big Bird's bedroom) are supposed to be the same color (e.g. all gold or all brown) with the other room being the alternate color. Many sets being offered on other e-commerce sites ignore these conventions and use all kinds of color combinations or furniture that did not originally come with this set-- thereby camouflaging the original pieces that are missing.
I've tried to be as comprehensive in my description as possible. I've also included numerous photos for this FANTASTIC play set---one ANY rabid Fisher Price COLLECTOR WOULD COVET AND/OR FOR SOME LUCKY CHILD.
I will be thoroughly Q-tip cleaning this set using a variety of cleaning products (e.g. Dawn, Goo Gone, Soft Scrub, Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser, Crayon Away, Armor All wipes etc.) along with a child's toothbrush, toothpicks, and Q-tips. I spend anywhere between 1 1/2 - 5 hrs. cleaning EACH AND EVERY VINTAGE Fisher Price Little People play set that I sell except those that are clearly marked as being in My Rough Room. My sets are IMMACULATE! All you need to do is unpack the set and set it up for display or play.
Remember, this Vintage Fisher Price Little People play set is NOT included in the recent Fisher Price recall of toys manufactured in China. This play set was manufactured in the good ole' U.S.A. in 1975-76!!!! It's 41 years young and still exemplifies Fisher Price's reputation for imaginative, durable toys. Why take a chance on buying a new toy that may contain unacceptable levels of lead or cadium in them when you can purchase a CLASSIC toy like this that was produced with pride and integrity in the U.S.A.?
Purchasers should refrain from allowing children under 3 years of age to play with these toys without adult supervision or to offer these toys to children who may be still mouthing their toys.
This particular base is HEAVY (approximately 6 1/2 lbs. UNWRAPPED). My zip code is 47905 (INDIANA).
I've been finding that Fed Ex Home Delivery is running up to 33% cheaper than the USPS or UPS ground for larger, heavier packages or those traveling longer distances. To ship Fed Ex, I need a residential, not a P.O. Box, plus a contact phone number (e.g. home, cell, or work place).

If you have any pain while brushing or if you have any questions regarding how to brush properly, give us a call at 907-344-1990.
Our dental sealants are also an effective way to prevent tooth decay, and it only takes a few of minutes. In this procedure, a tooth-colored acrylic coating is painted onto the surface of your tooth, sealing the deep grooves. It acts as a barrier to protect enamel from plaque and acids. In addition to cleanings and sealants, we provide a number of different fillings and restoration treatment. Composite, or white, fillings are a strong, permanent yet natural looking restoration for tooth decay. You could also opt for the cost-effective and durable amalgam fillings. For more information, check Cosmetic Dentistry.
We specialize in dentistry for the whole family. Going to the dentist for the first time can be a little scary for children. We want to make it a comfortable and fun process for them. The first dental visit should be just after your child's third birthday. This usually involves very little treatment. We may ask you to sit in the dental chair and hold your child during the examination. But we may also ask you to wait in the reception area to help us build a bond between child and dentist.
We will gently examine their teeth and gums and we may take x-rays. Our hygienist will clean their teeth and apply topical fluoride to help protect against decay.
At the end of the appointment, we will go over how to clean and care for your child's teeth. We suggest you prepare your child the same way you would before their first haircut or trip to the shoe store. To solidify the positive experience of seeing the dentist, a trip to the prize box completes your child's visit.
Here are some helpful "first visit" tips:

I'm still struggling with this. I read it, then sit, then usually read it again. I've gone on line and seen other translations - one that makes more sense has the doctor giving the goldsmith poison but to just reveal his true nature - not handsome - then the handmaiden realizes she doesn't love him and she has an awareness that this king loved her so much he gave her what she wanted - the goldsmith- and then she loves him, the king.
Suddenly, when I was reading this particular translation I thought of one of Chaucer's tales - The Clerk's Tale of Patient Griselda. Here is a bit on her I took it from Wikipedia:
Griselda first came into prominence when Chaucer adapted her for a story in the Canterbury Tales called "Clerk's Tale." In Chaucer's tale Griselda is chosen to be the wife of the Marquis even though she is only a poor peasant girl. The one condition that he gives her is that she must promise to always obey him. After they have been married for several years, Griselda gives birth to a baby girl. When the baby turns six weeks old the Marquis tells Griselda that she has to give it up, so she does. Four years later Griselda gives birth to a son. She has to also give this child up after two years because it angers the other members of the court. Twelve years after she gave up her last child, the Marquis tells her to go home, which she obeys, The Marquis then comes to Griselda's father's house and instructs her to start preparing his palace for his wedding. Upon her arrival she sees a young girl and boy and it is revealed that these are her children. All of this suffering was a trial to test her obedience to the Marquis.
Now I'll stop for a bit because I think we all need to digest this a bit more.

Trips through Insrael
– Vinodkumar Boniface
Of late I have been doing quite a bit of traveling and I felt like writing about it.
On March 11, I had been to QESARIYYA (CAESAREA) with my professor, her husband and a friend of theirs. This city was the capital of the Roman province of Judea. There are lots of Roman ruins – streets, houses, warehouses, mosaic floors (with beautiful pictures as well as script) etc.The most spectacular part is the Roman amphitheatre. It has a semi-circular gallery with the performing area in the middle and dressing rooms under the ground. It has been almost fully reconstructed and is now used for staging music programs and plays. There is also a fort built by Crusaders. This fort was subsequently used by Muslims. Nearby there are remains of an old
church and synagogue. This city was an important port but most of the old harbor is now submerged under the sea.
We then went to ISFIYA, a Druze town, for lunch. The food was excellent. The Druze are native people who
have their own religion, and are friendly towards Jews. They wear a distinctive traditional dress with headgear. We then went to
DALIYAT-EL-KARMIEL, another Druze town. There were lots of souvenir stalls and we spent some time strolling around before returning back. This trip took us through the CARMEL mountains and along a route called LITTLE SWITZERLAND, because of the scenic beauty and hairpin bends.
On March 16, I went to Jerusalem with my friends here (2 Indian and 1
German). In Jerusalem we took a circular trip by bus which allows people to get off and on at 26 tourist spots for a fixed fare.
This includes a running commentary in English by the driver who is also a tour guide. We
didn't have time to get off at more than 2 places. We saw the other spots on the move. Our first stop was at Holyland Hotel where we saw a wonderful model of Jerusalem at the time of the Second Temple, i.e., around the time of Jesus. The Temple looks very impressive compared to all other buildings.
In the adjacent compound (Myland Exhibition), there are similar models of contemporary buildings. We then went to the Old City where I was the guide for my friends, as I had been there earlier with my professor. During this trip, I was able to write a prayer request and place it in the Western Wall. My earlier trip with my professor was on Shabbat and I was not allowed to write a note.
On March 31, I had been to AKKO (ACRE) with my friends – the same 4 of us. This city is reputed to be the most ancient port which lost its importance after YAFO (JAFFA) was developed. The city has a wonderful wall running all along the sea for protection. We went on a boat cruise which took us along the wall. The main attraction is the Subterranean Crusader Fort. This fort was filled with mud and built on by the later Muslim rulers, and so is under the ground. It has now been excavated and we can see the Knights' Chambers, an old Church etc. There is a short (about 5-1/2 feet tall), narrow (allowing only one person) passage linking 2 portions of the fort and running for about 150-200 feet. In Akko there is a prison used by British to jail Jewish freedom fighters. Akko is famous for Napolean's defeat at the hands of the ruling Pasha, and there are many places related to this war. During this trip we traveled by train (first time in Israel) from Tel Aviv to Akko, and back. Trains are neat, clean and air-conditioned, but are not as punctual as Japanese ones.
My next trip was to KINNERET (Sea of Galilee) on April 8 with my professor, her husband and one Indian friend. We first went to a Greek Orthodox Church built on the short to commemorate Christ's healing of the paralytic who was let down through the roof by his friends. It is nice pretty church was a pinkish-red exterior, and lots of beautiful paintings on the inner walls and ceiling. Nearby is KFAR NAHUM (CAPERNAUM) where there is a broken down 4th century synagogue. This was built on the earlier one which belonged to the time of Christ. The older one had black stones which can still be seen below the white stones of the newer synagogue, which is also broke down. Another important border="1″> site here is what is believed to be the house of St.Peter. It is octagonal in shape and only the walls remain. We then went to TABGHA where there are two churches – one (Church of the Primacy of Peter) built over a rock where the resurrected Christ is believed to have cooked fish over coals and commissioned Peter to "Feed my lambs", and the other (Church of Multiplication) is built over a rock where Christ is supposed to have multiplied 5 loaves and 2 fishes to feed 5000 people. The second church has a beautiful ancient mosaic on the floor including 2 fishes and a basket of loaves. We had lunch at TIBERIAS and then went to GINNOSAR which is a kibbutz (a Jewish communal village) having a 2000 year old boat. This boat was discovered in 1986 when the level of the Sea of Galilee went down due to drought. The boat is about 26 feet long and is on display after extensive chemical treatment to protect the wood and prevent it from rotting
away. Next went to YARDENIT, the place where the river Jordan starts from the Sea of Galilee and where Christ is supposed to have been baptized by John the Baptist. There are lots of facilities built on the bank for baptisms. We then went to BEIT GABRIEL, a community centre with theatres, restaurant and art galleries. We had tea there and were fortunate to be able to see the room where Yitzhak Rabin (the ex-Prime Minister of Israel) and King Hussein (of Jordan) signed an agreement. Visitors are not allowed into this room, but my professor's husband managed to get it open for us.
Later, we headed home.
On April 14, we (my friends and I) went on a hiking trip to EIN AVDAT. It took about 3 hours to trk from one end to the other. We followed a small stream in the desert up its course with a small waterfall. It is rocky desert all around except for the greenery around the stream. Up in the cliffs there are some caves which were used by Byzantine monks. In one of the ledges, we saw a Catholic group celebrating Mass.
I made a trip to Jerusalem on Easter (April 23) with Dr. Joseph Gnanaraj, a post doctoral fellow at Bar Ilan University in Israel. I had met him earlier on Republic Day at the Ambassador's house. Next I saw him in our church on Good Friday. Since Gnanaraj was also interested in going to the
before and stayed at a youth hostel. We made it in time for the sunrise service in English at 0630 hours. The Garden Tomb is believed by some to be the actual tomb of Jesus and not the one in the Holy Sepulchre Church. One thing good about the Garden Tomb is that it is maintained as it was and no superstructure has been built around it – it looks authentic. The tomb has an almost circular front with a rectangular door. There is a groove near
the base on which a stone could be rolled to seal the tomb. I couldn't see the inside of the tomb on Easter as there were lots of people (We spent about half an hour in the queue to get in and barely managed to find seats).
There were continuous services in many languages. The Easter service was wonderful and the message very meaningful. The music was very good too. We then went to the Holy Sepulchre Church and saw the Roman Catholics and Ethiopians conducting their services. Next we went to the ISRAEL MUSEUM which has the SHRINE OF THE BOOK. This shrine has the DEAD SEA SCROLLS (scrolls of scripture found at QUMRAN near the Dead Sea, which
are the most ancient, intact ones available) and also archaeological findings of the community
(ESSENES) which used these scrolls. The museum also has lots of archaeological exhibits. In the Judaism Section, there are 3 synagogues on display – whole synagogues were dismantled in the original country, transported to Israel and reconstructed. One of the three is the Cochin Synagogue. There was also a flower exhibition in the museum. On April 28 and 29, I went to the Dead Sea with friends in my university.
We first went to MASADA, a hilltop fortress palace of King Herod (of Jesus' time). It was later the last stand of the Jews rebelling against the Roman invaders. The hill has very steep slopes and so the fortress was very secure. (We went up by a cable car though it is possible to climb on foot along the SNAKE PATH, so called as it is very circuitous). The Romans had to build a huge earthen ramp (seen even today) to breach the defence. The Jews inside committed mass suicide, preferring death to surrender. Masada is a very emotional place for Jews, and many army units swear "Masada shall not fall again". The fortress had huge storerooms, water cisterns and luxurious living quarters with swimming pools and heated bathhouses. There was a bakery, tannery etc. and also look-out towers. It was quite a huge settlement on top where some 1000 people were living at the time of its defeat. Next we went to EIN GEDI on the shores of the Dead Sea. We had a dip in the sea and though it is not possible to sink, I didn't try to move too much away from the shore. The water is very salty and one has to be very careful about broken skin and eyes. We also had a mud bath with the famous black mud available at some places on the shore. The salt content is so high that all the rocks and stones on the shore are covered with a very thick layer of salt. On the second day, we trekked to the nearby SHULAMIT waterfalls. We also saw the EIN GEDI water spring. We spotted some deer and ibexes around.

Website builder: benefits of using it in your project
A website builder makes your project more agile, practical, economical and easy to create. Choose a website template and create yours today. It is free!
Today you will understand what is a website builder and learn the benefits of using this tool in your project. Create your website today!
They are apps that you use to create website without writing code, ie, WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) or visual editors. Visual editor means simply drag and drop the items on the screen to build something.
It is like putting all ingredients on the stove and it get the food prepared itself.
This dispenses technical knowledge and enables anyone to create website for own use or sale.
It is also common to use website templates in the builder. In other words: you can create a full website from a ready template instead of getting all the work from scratch. Easy, doesn't it?
There are paid and free website builders. EasyPress by Site.co is free, allows you to use your custom domain name and gives an e-mail account to you.
Moreover, it is fully integrated with WordPress, with plug-ins and security options!
Your work has already started without worrying to find a host for your website.
Website builders have their own integrated hosting. That means you don't need to pay a separate host and spend time using FTP or installing WordPress.
As a visual editor requires only that you reorder the items from a ready website template, the work is easy.
Answer me: what is the easiest?
- Drag and drop the elements and see the results in real time? Or …
- Learn several programming languages and writing lines and lines of code and be able to see the results after a long time?
The answer is obvious!
The facility of working with a website builder is reversed in agility for your project.
Who has on the screen all the tools and parameters that he needs to reach, produce more in less time.
A website you would take a month to create, will be ready in a few days! And most important: with professional quality.
Spending less is one of the biggest motivations to who enjoy "do it yourself (DIY)" philosophy. I have a question to give more evidence to this benefit:
What is cheaper?
- Create your own website from a ready template? Or …
- Hiring a team with web designers and developers to create from scratch?
There are complex projects that require many professionals. But we bet your corporate website will be perfect only with the resources of a website builder.
You don't need to take 10 medical specialists to care for a skinned knee, right?
It is the same with a website builder.
This hard word is related on something quick, sudden, what happens on time.
You access and begin to create your website instantly, because there is no need to install apps on your computer. Usually, website builders are on-line and work straight from the web browser.
You save time and HD space.
Automatic updates without need for download is another benefit of free on-line website builders, like EasyPress.
We could spend hours listing the benefits of website builders, but we think these are enough to convince you. So…
How about enjoying it all and more?
When you create free website with EasyPress builder, you get an e-mail account and can use your custom domain name.
Create free WordPress website!

Three Factors that Make the Case for Lawyers Using Social Media
In a recent article in Law Technology News, there is a discussion about social media usage among law firm associates. As is usually the case when technology moves forward, there are those who embrace it and those who do not.
No surprise here that lawyers have been more reticent as a group to embrace the use of the latest technology than others. But times seem to be a-changing, and by 2014, investing in social media will no longer be a luxury – it will be a necessity, according to a recent Forbes article.
Glen Gilmore, a New-Jersey-based solo practitioner and social media expert (ranked number 15 on Forbes' list of social media influencers), found it surprising that only one-third of mid-level associates are "leveraging social media [because] the failure [of] law firms to 'get' social… [it] is a terrible disservice to their clients, most of whom are using social media for personal and business purposes."
What are the factors causing lawyers to participate in social media networks? My list would include: more personal usage, seeing other lawyers surpass them in knowledge and use of social media, client demand and the ability to bill their time, and the ease of research and networkability. I've elaborated on these points here:
- More personal usage: I suggest that the personal usage of social media is one of the greatest drivers of whether a lawyer uses social media in a professional environment. In much the same way as some lawyers who refuse to use computers and prefer to handwrite or dictate their communications, the ones who do not use social media in their personal lives tend not to use it in their professional lives. The inverse is also true. Lawyers should start using it on a personal level, and as they build their network it will be less intimidating to use it on a professional level.
- Competition and client demand: This is also a factor because you don't want to be seen as uninformed or behind the times by your peers or clients. More clients are now using social media and expect their lawyers to be savvy with its usage. Of course, having the ability to show value and bill for the activity is also a driver. If you can show yourself to be more efficient, quicker to do the research, and more responsive to your clients, then you will find that social media might be a great use of your time. LinkedIn and Twitter are especially useful networks in this situation.
- Ease of research and 'networkability': Finding articles of interest, doing research, connecting with other professionals or thought leaders: you no longer have to wait for good information or spend hours searching for usable content. Individuals can now publish research, commentary, and news or updates seconds after it is written. Some of the most experienced lawyers and top experts in the legal services industry are providing valuable information every day – all day – for free through social media. New client relationships are being formed and thought leaders are emerging, and it's all at our fingertips. Even if you don't "follow" a particular person, there is someone you do follow who will re-link, re-tweet or otherwise make you aware of the good content. As you build relationships with people online, you will begin to see who is providing timely and valuable content and which information is worth reading.
What is deterring you from joining in the conversation? When used correctly, social media will sharpen your networking skills, heighten your awareness of emerging trends, and help develop you or your firm as a prominent thought leader in the legal industry.
Things are happening online, and the speed of the internet is picking up. Better get on board.

The Black Hat Hypocrisy— November 5, 2013
I just submitted a good article about seo to ezine articles. The article talks about the challenge of deciding what is black hat and what is not and the fact that almost anything you do is gray area.
I just got back an email saying they cant publish it because it links to this site which has the words black hat SEO written on it, albeit in an editorial way.
They are referring to this article about what is white and what is black and how they are often the same thing.
Ironically, Ezinearticles is a tool of SEO marketers that exists solely to give backlinks and additional pages online outside of your domain.
The internet marketing category of their site has over 80,000 articles in it. The average of others in the online categories is about 11,000 submissions.
The site is essentially just a backlink farm, and they just laid down the final word on what is considered ethical. What is more, they referred to an article discussing the wide ranging opinions on what is ethical, an article that solely debated the issue of opinion on online ethics.
They told me:
We cannot allow content that is descriptive of or in any way advocates the use of Black Hat marketing as it is considered an unethical marketing practice. Please ensure that any descriptive or encouraging content regarding this type of internet marketing is removed from your article and links prior to resubmission.
I hope this information has been helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions so that I may assist you further.
Thank you, Megan
Thanks Megan, this has been super helpful, all internet spam and filler needs to meet the approval of Ezinearticles.
Now go take your website down as well.
Google terms of AdSense service states 3 ads per page is the current limit.
"Currently, AdSense publishers may place up to three AdSense for content units on one webpage."
On this article currently on their homepage:
I count 5 usages of google ads, 2 chikita, and 2 others for a grand total of 9 ad blocks surrounding an article with only 5 points to make.
Is a jump menu not the same as link stuffing? Is a WordPress category page not duplicate content?
How about TAG pages that essentially generate a page based on a keyword from content already indexed? What about eBay.com using related terms links on every search which essentially mimic the tag pages in WordPress?
What about Godaddy and other owners of millions of parked pages displaying Google ads on a park page? (in the past, maybe still doing it.)
I have news for all those self proclaimed squeaky clean SEO's. Every unnecessary element, link to "related terms", tags and jump menus on your website is not always "for the user".

There are many ways that you can become a leader in a societal context.
You can be a local or national politician; you can be advocate or activist for social change or you can set up or run a charity, an association, a sports team, a study group or support a cause that improves the human condition. The possibilities are endless.
Whatever you do in a societal context that involves other people will inevitably involve setting up a group or an organisation that will need to be led and managed. If you are involved in leading one of these types of groups, you will not only need to be able to lead yourself, you will also need to know how to lead a team or an organisation.
This module goes beyond the first three modules by helping you to develop a deep understanding of community and societal motivations, and what you as a leader need to know and understand to be effective in leading your community, your nation or a cause that improves the human condition or the sustainability of our natural environment.

Live Stewardship, Live Happy - Leader's Guide
Add to cart
Are you certain that you're where God wants you to be, doing what God wants you to do? Is your time, money, health, and giftedness all work¬ing for God, fitting together like clockwork?
Steward and stewardship are words we hear in church, but don't often hear anywhere else. Some people, particularly new or newer Christians, may not be sure what these words are referring to. We get them from the Bible, and the Bible writers got them from their daily lives.
Skillful stewardship, which is not necessarily easy to come by, takes a lot of learning on our part and patient training on God's part. Live Stewardship, Live Happy will help you gain a comprehensive understanding of what it means to apply the principles of biblical stewardship to every aspect of your life.

Bra Fitting and Sleepwear Advice from SOL Lingerie Stores
One proven women lingerie problem has to do with selecting a correct fitting bra and the biggest percentage of women do not know how to do it or are just ignorant. That is exactly the observation one lady made after working in the lingerie fashion aspect for over twenty years and decided to set up SOL store. Cindy Johnson is her name and she partnered with Jeanie Peterson to put up this lingerie store the only one of its kind in Denver that actually majored in bra-fitting business in nineteen ninety seven. She had also realized that despite the fact that the fashion designers were manufacturing really supportive and fitting bras, they were not being sold in key US departmental stores.Apparently, online stores offer exquisite bras but the only problem is that the ladies cannot try them on and instead have to depend on fitting charts offered on the sites and most likely end up selecting the wrong size still. On the contrary, those women who visit the a specialty store like SOL end up purchasing a garment that secure their chest details fine as well as making the wearer comfortable.
On visiting the enterprise official website, ladies are likely to find a store locater to help them identify a store in their vicinity because the SOL has by now expanded around the country.When they visit any of these stores, women find good customer care where they are helped by a professional bra fitter to discover their correct bra size and advised on the brands that stock her variety. Now that fall/winter 2009 will finally be around, women need to know which bras fit better under really heavy jerseys that are actually lace bras with seams to offer the bust an adequate lift so that they do not disappear under the thick layers. There is also something embarrassing about many women bras that allow her nipples to keep showing and as ladies are likely to learn from SOL experts the contour bras can correct that or a Nu bra. The stores also sell sleepwear and offers advice on the same.

Why aren't my cabinets solid wood?
Ahh at last—after months of work, this kitchen project is almost completed! The design and decision hurdles are over, electrical and plumbing roughs are approved, floor is in, and the walls are painted. My favorite installer is setting the cabinet bases.
The final payment is earmarked for a well-deserved long weekend away and I can already feel the cool ocean breeze… My client (a successful Wall Street broker) has been calm and focused through out the process. Smiling, he has just walked into the kitchen with a Friend. Within seconds Friend looks at the uninstalled base cabinets and asks, "Hey, why aren't these cabinets made of 'solid wood'"?
The happiness on my client's face is replaced by stark terror. He has flashed back to his college apartment on a Saturday night with four roommates and 56 close friends. There's been a spectacular collision between a tub of melted ice and beer and his assemble-it-yourself bookcase, which is now lying prone on the floor, drowning in a sea of liquid and foam. Books, binders and beer are floating out into the hall… He watches in horror as its water-logged construction explodes out of its "veneer."
My initial response of "Are you kidding? WAKE UP—it's not 1980" will neither calm him nor get me to the beach. So when this happened last week, I gave my client a lesson in "Cabinet Construction Materials in 2011."
"Hi Tom (names have been changed to protect the slightly hysterical), let's sit down."
And I gently began:
Life has changed since 1980 and so has cabinet construction. Today the best cabinets are made from high-grade composite woods of which many can be specified as moisture resistant. Good cabinet makers don't use sold wood construction for many reasons.
Plywood, which is one type of composite wood product is often used to make cabinet boxes—although for humid areas, industrial-grade particleboard can be a more stable choice. Combination-core and high-grade MDF are also good composite wood choices for some applications.
Let's compare composite wood to solid wood construction.
1. Raw Materials Cost: Slicing a tree to produce lumber for solid wood construction generates a lot of waste. More trees are needed for the same result and the overall material cost is higher—if the species is even available in solid wood. Species such as wenge (your cabinets) and anigre are not.
2. The Environment: Every sliver of wood from a harvested tree can be used to produce composite wood products. This has a positive impact on the local, national and global ecology. And less waste means cost savings for the consumer.
3. Warping: Solid wood boards warp easily. Look at an antique armoire. The doors usually don't close properly. Its solid wood construction has warped so the "box" is no longer square. Solid doors warp as well.
4. Replacement Costs: The soft-close mechanisms on today's hinges and drawer slides need square cabinet boxes (un-warped and level) to work properly or they will stick, pull out or break.
5. Beauty & Choice: Veneer such as your wenge looks most beautiful when laid up on the smooth surface that certain types of composite wood products, such as combination core, can offer.
6. Your Healthy Home: Today's composite wood products can all be specified as NAUF (Non-Added Urea Formaldehyde) to cut down on harmful VOC emissions in your home.
So by using composite wood products, your cabinets can cost less, last longer and are more environmentally friendly to your home and the earth.
Are you feeling better now? Tom smiled.

As always your information is spot-on. I have owned a custom cabinet shop as part of my design work for over two decades and I still fight the battle of "Solid" wood cabinets. There is a place for solid wood construction, but it is usually relegated to small furniture pieces or designs that do not lend themselves to engineered products.
We will often opt for MDF raised panels in paint grade doors…it is more stable than a "glue-up," machines easily and actually holds a finish better. With the advances in glue (we buy a plywood with a soy based glue) plywood, MDF and even furniture board core sub-straights can now be specified for any situation and, as you stated, will hold shape, look cleaner and not warp.
Thanks for the good information…now go enjoy the beach.
Roberta |
Thanks Billy. You're right about the raised panels. They are more stable and for folks who prefer not to have the inevitable cracks at the stile and rail joints MDF is perfect. And that soy based glue means that it is a NAUF product and does not have the harmful off gassing that the old glues had.
The beach was great! Now back to reality!
Becky Shankle (@ecomod) |
Fantastic information. I've had the same conversation many times with my clients! I'm a believer that all materials have their ideal application within their margins of tolerance & long term performance. (though I do have an affinity for those that minimize environmental impacts)
Like Julia, I'll be pointing them in this direction as well for the scoop on wood & wood products in cabinetry especially.
Also, this seriously made me LOL:
"(names have been changed to protect the slightly hysterical)" !!
Jacqueline Hosford ASID |
Roberta –
Thanks so much for writing so well and clearly about cabinetry construction. I wish I'd had this handy for my recent project where I suspect my client still wonders whether her cabinetry is of good quality (it is).
And, to know that their cabinetry is more "green" – how wonderful!

Keeping your shareholders regularly updated on the progress of your business is something that's important but often given little attention by new businesses.
