{Continued from PART 22}
A loud boom interrupted my internal silliness. It resounded from above our heads. Again mere seconds seemed like the count of minutes.
The tower was violently wrenched. It swung toward center. People screamed and yelled. The lights flickered. Someone struck my left shoulder. I almost fell down into the woman in front of me but regained my footing. Another person tumbled down the steps. Plaster rained down on us.
The tower began to swing back. I turned my head stupidly toward the wall. My face smashed into the beige thing. I heard crunching and squishing at my nose. I saw gray and black sparkles, what some people call "stars." I felt warmth ooze from my nose. More screams and curses from the others. I pressed the side of my body against the wall, in attempt to move back with it. A crack snaked down the wall, inches from my face. I whimpered as the blood flowed down my face, and that insidious crack jaggedly moved down and alongside my face and neck. Vaguely I saw bits of plaster fall off my hair and clothing. I felt the wall gently shove my body as the tower finished snapping toward center. I could swear I heard the structure's steel frame scream and groan through the wall.
Tears came to my eyes. Was that a bomb or a jet? How the hell do I get out of here? "I just want to go home," I said aloud, softly.
"So do I," the woman in front of me turned and said. "I just want to get the hell out."
"Oh, God, oh, my God," a man's voice wailed.
"Help us, Jesus, please," a woman whispered behind me.
"The motherfuckers!"
"That had to be another jet!"
"Terrorist bastards!"
"Why are they doing this?"
"Stay calm, everyone. Let's go, let's keep moving!"
"This is America! They can't do this to us!"
"Yeah, but they did. The assholes did!"
"Hey lady, your nose is bleeding. Here." A man handed me a handkerchief.
"Thank you," I said.
The line started moving again. We were two abreast, walking down in half darkness, as some of the electrical circuits had blown. I reached into my camera bag, where I knew there were paper tissues. I added some to hankie the man gave me. I noticed blood was on the front of my jacket and blouse now. I didn't care; I just wanted daylight and home. The upper half of my face stung from where it struck the wall. I walked down, holding the tissues over my nose until the flow seemed to stop. The pain did not, however.
"It was another jet," a man said behind me. "That's what the news on my phone said."
"Your phone works?" another said. "Can I please borrow it, please? I need to call my wife."
I walked grimly on, round and round those flights, watching the floor numbers decrease. People continued to murmur among themselves. Some grumbled. Most cell phones were dead. A couple had working phones, which they lent to others. Some held towels or articles of clothing over their mouths. People seemed so calm, and so kind.
Surreal, you feel. Why? The terror in the sky! I resumed my distractions - instead of a fear of heights, now it was destruction and dying above our heads, and my own possible death.
Four W's and H. Who, what, where, when, why, and how. The basic facts a journalist is taught to first assemble. Who did this, and why? Americans who hate the government? Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden? I remembered the bombing of the USS Cole at Yemen nearly a year earlier, and the two African embassies in '98. I recalled around 1998 that bin Laden issued a fatwa, or decree, to kill any and all Americans. Middle Eastern men also tried to bomb the towers in 1993.
Everything's sick, and evil's afoot. At first I struggled to find something to divert myself from a sick feeling, akin to the one that bathed me whenever I woke up from the tugboat nightmare. Even the lyrics that entered my mind were harsh.
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name!
But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?
I think we were down around the mid-40s when the tinny "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" started up in my pocket again. My own phone worked!
"Joanie, oh, Joanie! So great to hear your voice."
"Mom," I said. I started crying and at first couldn't speak.
"Joanie, I love you," she said. I sniffled. "I saw it. I saw the plane hit. They showed it live! I was so afraid for you."
I regained my composure. "I'm all right, Mom. I heard and felt that jet, too."
"You're still in the tower!"
"Afraid so."
"Oh, Joanie. I hope you're evacuating?"
"Yes, I'm going downstairs."
"Good. Don't give up. I just felt so sick when I thought of you and Rocky being in the building. How are you holding up?"
"I think I bruised my face, but the rest of me is all right."
"How far down are you?"
I looked at a door as the line of people continued their glacial descent. "By the 41st floor. It stinks in here - strong gasoline smell. Probably jet fuel."
"I wish you weren't still inside there."
"Progress in going down is slow, but we're moving," I said. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll get out. God's watching us all."
"I know that's true. The Lord is watching over the towers. I still can't get over it - I saw the jet hit the building on live TV!" I forgave her for repeating herself. We were all rubbed raw that day.
"Many probably saw that."
"Our whole family's watching - Dan and me, and Aunt Ellen and your Michael. I'm praying for you and Rocky. I called Ellen after Michael called. Do you know anything about Rocky?"
"Nothing. Last time I saw him was last night."
"Ellen said his cell phone's dead. She's worried that he--might be--"
"No, Mom, let's not think that. Remember what you said - God's protecting us."
"Right. Remember to pray, Joanie. Just keep praying."
"I am. I'm trying. If I can't call Michael, please call him and tell him I'm still okay, and I love him and the girls very much."
"I will. I love you."
"Love you too. Sorry your birthday isn't turning out so great, Mom, but I'm coming home to make it better." "I'm looking forward to that." There was a clack on her line - the call waiting sound. "I've got another call."
"I should go. Love ya; bye." I disconnected the call.
A woman behind me asked to borrow my phone. It was passed to three more people before coming back to me around the 34th floor. At least the numbers were shrinking even more.
I searched my brain for the insipid. I again wrestled with the nearly paralyzing fear, an inner attack against my faith in God and hope to return home.
Soon I relocated the inane or the jocular, after unlocking my mind. I alternated the fluff in my memories with prayers. When it says Libby's, Libby's, Libby's, on the label, label, label, you will like it, like it, like it on your table, table table...
The 30th floor. Joy to the world, the Lord is come. Let earth receive her king...
The 26th floor. I was sweating. The steps were slippery with running water. More than once I saw broken, leaking pipes. They're creepy, and they're kooky. Mysterious and spooky. They're altogether ooky. The Addams Family! Their house is a museum, when people come to see 'em--
The 23rd floor. The jet fuel stink was stifling. I wanted to vomit. I pulled my scarf over my mouth. So close but so far. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right of me. Here I am - stuck in the middle with you.
I could not go out of space and time. I could only keep descending. A song from kindergarten: I'm a jack-o-lantern with a great big grin. I'm a jack-o-lantern with a candle in. Shining out the window on Halloween, biggest smile of greeting that you've ever seen!
The 17th floor. Sugar! Spice! And everything nice! Those were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl. But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient - Chemical X. Thus the Powerpuff Girls were born! Can they stop the terrorists from destroying the Pentagon and World Trade Center? Tune in and find out! That came from sitting through too many cartoons with Christa.
The 16th floor. I loathed the monotony, the one foot after another. The jet fuel stink was still detectable. The stairwell was like a sauna; we were damp with perspiration. I noticed for the first time noticed several women had no shoes. Lucky that I had my Nikes.
I felt hungry, and my nose ached. Fleetwood Mac, directed at Michael: And the songbirds are singing, like they know the score. And I love you, I love you, I love you, like never before--
"Move aside, move aside, please!" a voice said several flights down. "Move aside, coming through!"
They came into view, several firefighters in full turnout gear, loaded down with equipment. Their eyes were wild, and their brows were sweaty. A man behind me offered them some water. "You keep it. We're fine," a boyish fireman with sandy hair jutting form his helmet said.
Those were the only firefighters we saw. From the survivor accounts I read later, I knew that many more had been spotted ascending in the north tower, and more had died there. Others fleeing the south rarely mentioned firemen, but most said nothing about them.
The 14th floor. Someone was reciting the 23rd Psalm. It was a woman with a foreign accent. I started on the 46th, the same psalm I recited in Jill's memory in 1996. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult--
That got me down to the 11th floor. I was beginning to feel excited and freaked at the same time. There was an excellent chance now of getting out - away and away and away - to the open air! I already felt as if I could taste it.
Shiny, happy people! Meet me in the crowd. People, people! Throw your love around. Love me, love me. Take it into town. Happy, happy. Put it in the ground, where the flowers grow. Gold and silver shine--
The fourth floor. So damn close! I'm accustomed to a smooth ride. Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost his bite. I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more. I don't expect to sleep through the night. Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie But I say, why? Why deny the obvious, child?
The lobby! That lobby again, truly like a mausoleum on this day. The stairwell door opened onto the mezzanine, which at that moment I thought was pretty strange. I hate you, I hate you, you big, ugly, overgrown building! My voice from 1982 echoed in my head. I nearly felt compelled to kick the wall again.
Girls go to college, to get more knowledge. Boys go to Jupiter, to become more stupider-- Something Christa said the kids liked to say on the playground. There were a number of security men and cops standing there, directing the evacuees.

The family moved to the Bronx and later to Coney Island, and at age 14, Amen earned a scholarship to the Pratt Institute. It meant an hour trip on the subway every Saturday. He was so shy, he needed a friend to go with him on the trip.
"I was in short pants and sitting in class with a nude nearby. I was so nervous and shy, afraid she would catch me looking at her crotch. I had two sisters, but I couldn't figure that out," he says laughing.
He could have gone to college, but Amen says he was afraid he'd be a financial burden on his family. Instead, he moved to a condemned walk-up in Greenwich Village and tried to get work with the Works Progress Administration, a government-funded program that had a division devoted to public art.
"I know I applied. I know I came up against the Communist control of the WPA. You had to prove you were a good comrade. They said I was a middle-class person. I was getting $10 a month from my father and that disqualified me," he says.
And then the war came.
A bohemian lifestyle
"Psychologically, I wanted to fight Hitler, but I couldn't squirm out of it," says Amen.
He'd known Dora for many years as a friend of the family, but it wasn't until he'd finished high school that their relationship took a turn. She was a librarian and he needed a book for a project.
Dora was 16 years older and had been married and divorced. Eventually, she would cut herself off from her family because, he says, her life was too "fast" to ever earn their approval.
Dora introduced him to New York bohemian life. She was literate, as he imagined himself. They liked the same movies. Dora opened doors for him.

A Downers Grove woman who was clearing out an Aurora house for an estate sale discovered several pipe bombs which she then took in her car to her local police for disposal, prompting them to call the DuPage County bomb squad, police said tonight.
"We don't know what the material is at this time or whether it was live or not," said Sgt. Dave Bormann of the Downers Grove police.
The woman, from Downers Grove, pulled into the police station at about 5:07 p.m. and made an inquiry about how to dispose of the bombs with officers, though she left the devices in her car, Bormann said.

Ken Kawamoto, software engineer and inventor, describes his mission as to "break the barrier between the digital world and the real world." With his latest invention, the Tempescope, he's done just that with a little box that brings real-time weather inside your home.
Interfacing with weather forecasts from reliable internet sources, the Tempescope creates clouds, fog and precipitation in its inventive little box.
You can program it to correspond with the current weather, should you want to bring the outdoor showers indoors, or to predict the next day's weather.
Kawamoto designed and released his invention with open source software, meaning that the code and schematics are available to anyone to build their own.
You can also customize it to correspond to weather around the world. Perfect for the homesick traveler.
He is also raising money in a crowdfunding campaign to sell the Tempescope later in the year.
The boxes are beautiful, tasteful additions to any home.
Here's a video showing the box in action.

Dear readers,
I saw this newsflash the other day about people operating their ears so they can get pointy elf ears. You know, like in Lord of the Rings. The only question in my mind was: WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO HAVE POINTY EARS? There are people born with pointy ears who do cosmetic surgery to get normal shaped ears, but apparently now there are people who actually would like to trade their ears for pointy ears. To give you an idea of how pointy elf ears look, check the pictures below!
How weird does that look?
Love, Melissa

Flames top a ridge as the Yarnell Hill Fire moves toward Peeples Valley, Ariz., on Sunday, June 30, 2013.
The crew, which is part of the Prescott Granite Mountain Hot Shots, was fighting the Yarnell Hill fire, which broke out Friday northwest of Phoenix. The fire spread rapidly, damaged multiple homes, and forced the evacuations of residents in nearby the communities. The blaze is believed to have been started by lightning. The Daily Courier in Prescott reported that the fire had grown to 2,000 acres by early Monday.
"Our entire crew was lost," Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo said Sunday night. "We just lost 19 of some of the finest people you'll ever meet. Right now, we're in crisis."
Prescott Fire Department spokesman Wade Ward said Monday that the exact cause of the deaths are unknown and are under investigation.
"We don't know exactly what happened," Ward said on NBC's "Today" show. "I can tell you that this is a very elite group of men. I can tell you that it had to be the perfect storm in order for this to happen."
Mike Reichling, Arizona State Forestry Division spokesman, said the 19 firefighters were found in area that also had 19 fire shelters deployed. Some of those found were inside a shelter; some were not.
Some 200 firefighters are battling the fast-moving wildfire, reports Arizona Central.
Reichling said federal authorities will be brought in to help Monday morning.

Flames of the #YarnellHillFire burning near Yarnell, Arizona
BREAKING: Arizona Forestry spokesman says 19 firefighters die battling fast-moving wildfire.
Photos of the #YarnellFire in Arizona (@photomeisterAZR)
A Facebook page in memory of the Prescott firefighters was started Sunday night.
Incident Command Officials say the 19 killed fire fighters is the worst amount of casualties for fire fighters in Arizona history @abc15
Arizona #Yarnell death toll is the highest from a single incident since 9/11, when 351 firefighters were killed, according U.S. Fire Admin.
When a tragedy like this strikes, all we can do is offer our eternal gratitude to the fallen and prayers for the families and friends left behind. God bless them all."
Yesterday, nineteen firefighters were killed in the line of duty while fighting a wildfire outside Yarnell, Arizona. They were heroes — highly-skilled professionals who, like so many across our country do every day, selflessly put themselves in harm's way to protect the lives and property of fellow citizens they would never meet. In recent days, hundreds of firefighters have battled extremely dangerous blazes across Arizona and the Southwest. The federal government is already assisting, and we will remain in close contact with state and local officials to provide the support they need. But today, Michelle and I join all Americans in sending our thoughts and prayers to the families of these brave firefighters and all whose lives have been upended by this terrible tragedy.

Last month was National Mental Health Awareness month.../
That's why people like Prince Harry and Rio Ferdinand have been speaking so wonderfully and so openly about their experiences of mental illness lately. But I must admit, I sometimes find that word – awareness – a strange one.
When we were 14, my friend Conor's Mum lost her battle with cancer. She'd been treated for Hodgkin's lymphoma as a teenager in the seventies and the radiotherapy she received then meant she was always at risk of the disease returning.
After she died, the problem – for Conor, his family, his teachers, his friends – was not a lack of awareness. All of them were aware that Conor was struggling, that grief was taking a terrible toll on him, that his all-consuming, mega-competitive love of sport was partly an outlet for a grief he didn't know how to deal with.
The problem was powerlessness.
Nobody knew how to help Conor, so nobody did.
Not long ago, I watched a documentary about the Industrial Revolution. The historian asked a question I've never thought about before: Why did the Industrial Revolution happen in Britain? Why not France, or Germany, or the US, or any other developed nation of the time?
Part of the answer was not that Britain had more engineering visionaries – men like Brunel or Stephenson – but rather that Britain had more skilled craftsmen than other nations. These builders, masons and blacksmiths could make the designer's vision a reality by taking ideas drawn on paper and building them with stone or steel.
It's a half-decent illustration of the way we, as a society and a church family, can address the problem of mental illness. We live in a world that's dependent upon 'specialists' – psychotherapists, doctors, pharmacists – to treat us, fix us and medicate our problems away. Like the great engineers who designed our railways and bridges, the expertise of these professionals is vital.
But, just as urgently, we need a much larger group of competent, courageous and clued up people 'on the ground' who are able and willing to come alongside struggling people and support them.
In other words, people like you and me.
As a teenager, Conor was mad about A) sport and B) girls. There was no way he was going to sit in a room for an hour a week with a psychotherapist talking about his Mum. He tried it once and never went back.
When I look back on that time, I can't help but wonder what might have happened if someone in his life had come alongside him and dared to talk with him about his grief. What if, instead of assuming he'd figure it out himself in the long run, a rugby coach, a school teacher, or someone at church had considered the long-term effects of all that bottled-up trauma inside him?
Last month, the month of National Mental Health Awareness, my friend Conor took his own life at 25. Those of us who knew and loved him are heartbroken – he was one of the brightest and the best.
We all have a part to play here, because we all know people in suffering. Many people in Bristol are living with depression, anxiety or the effects of past trauma. They need more than our awareness and they certainly need more than our sympathy.
They need us to be very brave. It can be awkward to ask those sensitive questions, can't it? People can think us strange if we offer to pray for them when they share their struggles with us.
But it's critical that we begin to try, together. Because it could make all the difference in the world.
- Charlie

"The Other Side of the Fog" is a short-story included in the 1960 self-published magazine People, Places and Things.
The story concerns a mysterious fog that serves as a door between dimensions. Pete Jacobs involuntarily travels through the fog into the future (the year 2007) and eventually to a world inhabited by dinosaurs. Helpless, he wanders from one dimension to the next, searching for his own.
The use of a mysterious fog with otherworldly properties was revisited by King in "The Mist," while the idea of a wanderer traveling through alternate dimensions searching for his original universe presages the television series Sliders.

of rain,
of thoughts,
of feelings,
My body made of a flood of oxygen, blood, cells, neurons, and atoms.
My mouth speaking of flood of words, letters, syllables, and phrases.
My brain thinking a flood of thoughts, ideas ,and feelings.
I'm a flood of it all.
And floods can not be held,
Can not be stopped,
I am a flood water
rushing up and over the river banks,
down and under the villages below,
I am not the rainbow or the light,
I am the flood,
I am human,
I am the drop of the flood that humanity has brought upon the world.

WASHINGTON, April 3 -- Visiting Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Guterres voiced firm support for expanding NATO, calling it 'a basic condition for democracy, for peace and stability' in central and eastern Europe. At a meeting Thursday with President Clinton, Guterres said he hoped NATO would continue providing 'the basic framework for European security,' with the United States maintaining its 'irreplaceable role in the guarantee of European security.'
Guterres visited as the United States continued its battle of wills with Russia over a U.S.-driven effort to extend NATO membership to countries of central and eastern Europe. At their March summit, Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin remained at loggerheads over NATO expansion, but agreed to keep working on a charter defining NATO's relations with Russia. Guterres said, 'I hope that one day in the future NATO and Russia can be allies defending the values of enlightenment against all the irrational behaviors in the modern world, irrational behaviors based on extreme naturalism, religious fundamentalism, and all other things that should not exist in a modern world.' Clinton promised to discuss in their meeting Indonesia's control of the former Portuguese colony of East Timor, but indicated he was unwilling to back demands for a referendum among its people to decide their future. Clinton said, 'We have to do what we think is most likely to achieve our overriding objective, which is to give those people a chance to have the lives of decency and integrity. And sometimes what seems obvious is maybe not the best course.' ---

Below is the 8th of 11 Novarica Research Council Impact Award nominee case studies, which INN is presenting in no particular order. The awards will be presented at the research and advisory firm's August 13th event in New York and honor best practices in insurance industry IT initiatives and strategy.
Philadelphia Insurance Co. is a niche provider of commercial property/casualty insurance products and services for select classes of business. The company had developed an expert decision support system focused on price monitoring, which provided a mechanism to ensure that adequate rates are being charged prior to business being written. Through business process reengineering of the system, Philadelphia Insurance introduced new capabilities to provide more accurate and timely information, and achieve the strategic objective of portfolio price optimization.
A variety of business disciplines were involved in the project. The actuarial group provided the expertise in modeling cross-policy term rate analytics. Underwriting, marketing and compliance participated throughout the project by defining requirements for system enhancement, unit testing and workflow integration.
A small group at the executive management level acted as the steering group, providing project governance and oversight. The project management office managed resource utilization and project scheduling.
About 30 IT staffers were involved in the development effort, and external service providers helped with requirements gathering, consulted on report development and information delivery, and provided general staff augmentation.
The first phase was completed in six months, with additional iterations delivered monthly over the next 18 months. The bulk of the application is now in production, and its use is embedded in the underwriting workflow.
Development work was done in house, as the system required extensive domain expertise across multiple disciplines and departments. The team adopted an agile development methodology to achieve the aggressive timelines required by the initiative. The system was built using Microsoft SQL Server as the relational database management system, with IBM Cognos for the front-end information delivery platform.
Building a cross-functional multidisciplinary team of insurance professionals, IT staff and external vendors proved challenging. Philadelphia Insurance placed emphasis on identifying leaders of the subgroups and building trusted relationships at the management level.
By providing expert pricing guidance at the point of sale, the new capability has positively affected net operating income by about 1 percent, which equated to about $3.4 million dollars in return on investment for calendar year 2013.
The result of the project was a shift in strategic direction through portfolio optimization. In addition, the company is now able to forecast future pricing and take action earlier. A variety of design and development standards used within the project have taken root and flourished in other development efforts.
Bringing together knowledge from a variety of disciplines in the company was a key contributor to the overall success of the project. The organization's willingness to assume risk in new development methodologies also was vital.

BUDAPEST/BERLIN (Reuters) – Several European governments believe Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is flouting EU values by drifting into the Kremlin's orbit but are unsure how to respond.
At a time when most EU states are isolating Moscow and turning their thoughts to stiffer sanctions as Ukraine's ceasefire crumbles, Orban has alarmed many of his peers by establishing closer ties with Russia.
Orban, 51, has said the EU "shot itself in the foot" by imposing sanctions on Russia; he signed a deal with Moscow to build a nuclear power plant; he stopped shipping gas to Ukraine and he wants to accelerate work on the Russian-backed South Stream pipeline that Brussels opposes.
"We do not want the sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU to be undermined," Gunther Krichbaum, Christian Democrat President of the European Affairs Committee of the German lower house of parliament, told Reuters.
"This ambivalence is not without risks," he said. "The Russians are trying to break the unity of EU members, especially in countries more dependent on Russian energy exports."
While criticism is mounting, EU diplomats who spoke to Reuters said there was no consensus on how to respond in a way that would persuade Orban – a leader who has repeatedly scorned EU norms – to alter course.

His 1969 Bag One series, frequently censored due to its overt eroticism, is part of PDF the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and his peace-themed sketches have been used in antiwar movements since the 1970s. Selections from these and many other series are featured in this matchless collection, a beautiful showpiece and a timeless record of Lennon's emotional, political, and imaginative spirit.

Daily we used food items like rice, wheat, ragi, maize, millet or jawar, holcus spicatus, potato and others are available freely in most of the places are having enough carbohydrates.
Required calories to our body can be obtained from carbohydrates only. As these food items are used by everyone, so we can say no one can have lack of carbohydrates in our body. One gram of carbohydrates will gives us 4 calories of energy.
Carbohydrates is the combination of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and atoms. By following these atoms number carbohydrates have been classified into three types.
Types of Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides will be available in food items like glucose, fructose, honey and others. These will be mixed in blood and gives us instant new energy to our body. Monosaccharides are more helpful for people who is growing, pregnant women and people suffering with fever.
Disaccharides become monosaccharides after mixed with enzymes and gives us calories, which is needed for our body. Disaccharides can get from the source of sugar, maltose, lactose and others.
Polysaccharides is the mixture of many monosaccharides! Say example after eating of food (ex: potato) will take some reactions in our body and become a monosaccharides and gives us required calories of energy to our body.
Daily carbohydrates
Every human being need aproximately 445 grams of carbohydrates per day.
Low Carbohydrate Foods
- Bean, Cabbage, Tomato, Bittergourd, Cucumber etc are having only 3% of carbohydrates.
- Brinjal, carrot, pepper etc are having about 6% of carbohydrates only.
- Onion, grapes, orange etc are having about 9% of carbohydrates only.
Function of Carbohydrates
After taking of any food contained carbohydrates will mix with water in the body and faced some chemical reactions. As soon the food enters into the stomach, it will attracted to some chemical reactions and later it will digested in entering of small intestine.
What will happen if we take excess carbohydrates ?
If we could have taken excess carbohydrates then we will face many types of problems. They used to give some mental disturbance.
Example: Obesity, increases size of stomach, diabetes, some types of heart related diseases will invite us.
So we must take required (proteins, fats, minerals and salts with) carbohydrates, then only we will have good digestion system and gets you enough calories of energy to our body.

CPR Certification At Home With the Nintendo Wii
The American Heart Association is funding a student project to develop a CPR certification program that uses the Nintendo Wii:
A biomedical engineering professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham envisioned a program for home computers that could sync via wireless with the Wii remote, and train users on proper resuscitation of people who have suffered cardiac arrest. The students hope to make the program available for download this fall, free of charge, on the American Heart Association's website.

I'm not sure i'd trust someone to give me CPR if they got their certification on the Wii.
Proof video games are good for you.
Another trick to sell wii motionplus? ;)

While a touch screen netbook will make a great interactive instrument cluster, it would be impractical without a few physical buttons (possibly on the steering wheel). A while ago I came JoyCon a series of products that allow you to interface many types of controls to other controls. In this instance, taking steering wheel button input and converting that USB HID signals.
On the RX8 steering wheel (and most others) there are two wires for the steering wheel buttons, a voltage input and a voltage return. Each button runs on a separate resistor so when it is pressed it returns a voltage specific to that button. The JoyCon simply converts those signals to keyboard strokes. This will enable me to use the buttons on the RX8 steering wheel and even create my own from simple dash switches/buttons to control the PC.
I had a play with the JoyCon when it arrived and I must say it is very easy to configure and the build quality is A grade. The vendor also included a bag of various resistors so that I could make buttons without even needed to take a trip to the local electronics store.! Nice!!
P.S. For anyone that is interested in a JoyConEx (pictured above) you can find them on eBay.

The son of a classical pianist straight out of the Bronx of old Archie comics, Steven Tyler was born to be a rock star. Weaned on Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Mick—and his beloved Janis Joplin—Tyler began tearing up the streets and the stage as a teenager before finally meeting his "mutant twin" and legendary partner Joe Perry. In this addictively readable memoir, told in the playful, poetic voice that is uniquely his own, Tyler unabashedly recounts the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the last three decades and riffs on the music that gives it all meaning.
I picked this book up solely because I am a Steven Tyler/Aerosmith fan. In fact, in my own little world Steve and I are on a first name basis.
This story is not an easy read for someone who is not accustomed to reading or being around people with excessively high energy. I attitribute this writing style to that of someone who has ADD.
This biography is wonderfully detailed and is chalked full of stories and anecdotal but often starts off with one point, hops to another point and then jumps back to the first point to finish off the story before moving on to another anecdotal set up in the same fashion.
Steven's life is considerably parallel to the life of Keith Richards. Often many of the same people show up in Steven's story as they did in Keith Richards.
Steven recalls life growing up in the idealistic time of the 50′s and 60′s, finding his way onto a stage and working hard to help the family survive before finding out his own destiny was within his grasp to shape and mould it to be what it has become today. He speaks about some of the tensions between himself and Joe, going into rehab, trying to stay sober and realizing that life is a gift that has afforded him some pretty amazing
This read is a ball of energy. For the regular reader I would give this book a 3.5 of 5 stars. For a Steven Tyler/Aerosmith fan I would give this book a big 5 star rating.

A game that requires patience in abundance. It cant take hours of planning and retries, but it's worth it when your well laid plans help you complete a level without detection.
Don't mix this game up with the new Absolution game. This game requires a brain, plenty of patience and won't hold your hand.
