"Jeff brings strong managerial and development experience to the Foundation, as well as a real passion for the work of EARTH," said Hoek. "His proficiency in Spanish, experience living in Costa Rica, and his strong connections in the Atlanta community also uniquely qualify him for this role."
"Since my time in Costa Rica with WorldTeach two decades ago, I have had my eye on EARTH. More than a career move, this is a calling. I look forward to working with our staff to help more individuals, corporations and foundations throughout the United States become part of the transformative work happening at EARTH," said Smythe.

Why is a Periodic Review Needed?
Financial planners and experts strongly advocate the practice of periodic review of a financial portfolio. Be it investments, health or retirement, it is a much needed task. We go through various stages in life, from being single to starting a family, to acquiring assets. Our priorities and preferences change with course of time. Thus at every such juncture in life a check on our insurance portfolio helps us to understand if our risks have been adequately covered. You should at any point in time be well prepared to face the unexpected, without having to take a major financial blow.
What to look at When Reviewing your Retirement Plan
a) Changes in disposable income and spending patterns:
It sure does pay to start planning for retirement at an early age. Nevertheless what one needs to bear in mind is that, disposable incomes and spending patterns show significant changes as one grows older. What may be priority expenditure at say 30 may seldom be of importance at the age of 40. Thus, look into your spending habits. Would it continue to be a priority even after retirement? Question yourself and review your plan accordingly. Retirement plan review must be linked to your annual spending.
b) Acquisition/sale of assets and liabilities:
Sale of an asset or inheritance, a new source of income/ asset should be incorporated in your retirement plan. Would you be utilising it completely or partially for retirement, or for goals towards children's education or marriage? Also, remember an increase in liability calls for an increase in your sum assured. Recalculate your Human Life Value, considering all outstanding liabilities.
c) Income Changes:
As you climb up the ladder in your professional life, your income too may rise up significantly. An increase in income would mean increased cash flow, thus a higher standard of living. To maintain this standard of living in your retirement years ahead, you would need to cater to an increase in your retirement corpus. Have an annuity plan in place, adequate insurance to meet medical emergencies and an emergency fund. Similarly, in case of decreased cash flow due to loss of job, you may consider reducing your contribution to retirement plan temporarily, till the situation improves.
d) The effect of inflation:
Inflation is one of the most important factors that need to be taken into consideration when calculating your retirement requirements. With inflation rate showing an upward trend, the value of your savings may not be the same say 5-10 years ahead. If the inflation rates show frequent fluctuations, take a look at your corpus. Check to see if it would be enough meet your requirements, post retirement.
e) Insurance check:
A retirement portfolio must broadly comprise of life insurance, health insurance and a substantial corpus to meet day to day living. You may opt for an annuity plan for a regular source of income or a lump sum amount as per your requirement. The choice you make greatly depends on your needs and goals. Check to see if the type of policy you hold is still as per your individual financial goal. Health Insurance policies protect you and your family against costs related to medical care. So don't miss out on their renewal dates. You may also opt for riders such as critical illness or personal accident to provide additional benefits.
f) Investment check:
Many a time's changes in your financial standing or risk profile may require you to modify your investment preferences. Review your fund performance periodically to ensure the portfolio is as per your risk appetite. You may wish to switch between equity and debt in times of market volatility, or may opt to move from debt to equity when the markets show signs of stability.
g) Health insurance:
A very important part of your retirement corpus is to incorporate a health insurance for medical expenses. Have an adequate and comprehensive medical plan in place. Opt for one when you are young and health. This brings the premiums down substantially low. Check to see if your plans are renewed on time. Insurers maintain a history of policy holder's transactions and reward consistency in policy renewals by way of discounts. Consider lifelong renewability policies so that the policy is available even after retirement.
8) Years post retirement
The perfect retirement life is one with no financial stress. Having a plan in your earning years to achieve this sure is a stepping stone. And post retirement here is what you should consider doing.
Start retirement with zero debts: Your aim should be to pay off all debts and liabilities in your earning years. This ensures your retirement corpus is to meet your financial needs for the years ahead.
Your saving should not stop: Don't stop saving even if you have retired even if your regular source of income is no longer there. Save and invest to meet any kind of emergency. You could opt for safer investments such as fixed deposits, post office monthly income plans etc...
Have a healthcare management in place. As you grow older, it is your body that requires care the most.

NHTSA Proposes New Labels for Tires...Could Satisfy California's Requirements
A few days back, we brought you the news of California's proposal to include rolling resistance information on all tires sold inside the state. While that was still in the works, it appears that the NHTSA has come up with their own means of conveying economy information to those in search of new tires.
As with the California Energy Commission, this is still a proposal, but would also call for additional information to be provided right on the tire regarding the efficiency and cleanliness. The new labels are aimed at being more user friendly while still providing as much information as possible.
The proposal included several different means of conveying the information, with the simplest being 3 separate bars that each range from 1 to 100, with 100 being the highest. Others would make use of stars ranging from 1 to 5, or a simple A through E scale. Still others display information using a combination of the previously mentioned methods. The proposal would also outline testing procedures and criteria for achieving different ratings.
Along with the wet traction rating and the durability of the tire, a rating of how much rolling resistance the tires produce on average will also be used. According to some studies, some tires can be responsible for burning up to 15% of your engines power to overcome resistance. Including this figure on tires could lead consumers to choose tires that will offer the most miles per gallon.
If and when the proposal is accepted, we could see the new labels within a year.

Due to my Intel NUC needs I got myself a new 802.11ac wireless card (Intel 7260). Since NUC didn't really need AC, I decided to put new card into wife's aging HP mini and take its N wireless. My hope was that newer card would improve wireless range just a bit and thus I would gain her eternal gratitude. That was the plan at least.
As it is always the case with small machines, replacing anything is not really straightforward and some disassembly is required. In this case it was just removal of keyboard and new card went in even a bit easier than expected. After a bit of fidgeting with keyboard's plastic tabs on reassembly I was ready to get into Windows.
Seconds later I was greeted with:
104 Unsupported wireless network device detected. System Halted. Remove device and restart.
Yep, dear HP decided in their eternal wisdom to forbid wireless replacement. And I cannot imagine any other reason for this other than a case of pure assholeism.
It is definitely not for money. Not only that wireless cards almost never fail but their low cost would anyhow ensure that HP would see little to no profit on any exchange. Even worse, you can plugin another card that is same Broadcom chipset and it works. That means that they didn't force anybody into using HP replacement services.
They also didn't do it to force you into using HP upgrade – there is no such thing nor it was ever available. Maybe there were some plans but I doubt that because card was not really positioned to be user-replaceable.
Saving grace would be if they did it for compatibility. Maybe their testing discovered some bug on other cards so they decided to nip it in the bud. If this is really the case (no matter how unlikely it is) than it is pure laziness of engineering team. They decided to solve technical problem with a software block. And someone higher up decided to cover this up and not document such incompatibility anywhere. But I really doubt that.
Most likely story is that some "smart" manager overheard engineers speaking about difficult to replace wireless card. On that he said "We have it replaceable? We don't have that on list of features. Disable it." Engineer shrug and did as it was told. And now, years after that moment of stupidity, we have machine that cannot be upgraded. Not for technical reason, but for pure politics.
2 Responses to "Why HP, Why?"
When I had a look at this practice when Lenovo did it, I was told — and I pass this on as I received it — that it was a legal thing to do with FCC certification. Specifically, the systems were certified /as a whole/, with the antennae in the screen and certain cards, and that Lenovo were then obliged to prevent someone installing a weird radio that would drive the antenna in such a way that it'd do things that consumer electronics aren't allowed to do to the radio spectrum.
I have no idea how accurate this actually is, but it has the ring of plausibility to me…

I'm not trying to be negative. I think what Dr. Wagner and his team are doing is AMAZING, and I'm so thankful that there is someone out there fighting for these kids. We need someone who is dedicated to finding a cure, and Dr. Wagner, from what I read, is beyond amazing. And the families who are stepping out on faith and going through this nightmare in hope of a dream are so brave. I have nothing but respect and admiration for them, and I know we owe it to them and their kids when there is a cure for EB. Jonah has hope because of these kids. Please pray for them and for Dr. Wagner and all the doctors and nurses who are working to cure EB.
Keric - Keric is 17+ months post-transplant and doing well. His blood is 100% donor engrafted and his skin is 16% donor engrafted. His skin is getting stronger and heals faster. They are doing lighter dressings and sometimes eliminating them all together. Keric had an exact sibling match for transplant and is having positive results. You can check out his page here. (I do want to make a note that his mother said, in March, that DebRA of America has not contributed to Dr. Wagner's research. I emailed the folks at DebRA to ask about his, and they said that they give funding to DebRA International who has a panel or advisory board (with doctors and specialists from all over the world, including some Americans) that evaluates all the clinical trials and determines where to give the money. DebRA International HAS contributed to Dr. Wagner's clinical trial, so DebRA of America has contributed in that way... if that makes any sense at all. Nevermind.)
Hannah - Hannah is 14 months post-transplant and is also doing well. She also had an exact sibling match. Hannah's skin is getting stronger, she heals faster, she has no more anemia, and her parents report that she has an energy she has never had before. You can visit her page here.
Sam - Sweet, sweet Sam. Sam has been through so much. She is the oldest of the EB patients that have gone through transplant, and she has had a very rough road. She also had an exact sibling donor. Sam is 290 days post-transplant and is back in the hospital... again. Sam has battled infection after infection and is now battling Graft Versus Host Disease. Her mom says her skin is worse than ever and that she thinks GVHD is worse than EB. That's saying something. She just spent the entire week at home on two IV antibiotics and only got worse, so they are now back in the hospital. Unfortunately, Sam has not seen any consistent betterment of her skin. She (and her awesome mom!) could really use your prayers. You can visit her page here.
Rafi - Rafi is 115 days post-transplant and is doing well, overall. She did NOT have a sibling donor. Rafi seems like a super-amazing kid with an amazing spirit. The stories her dad tells about her little sassy self always keep me smiling, and she is so strong (like all of these EB kids!). Her dad shared some very exciting news. Her most recent biopsy results are possibly showing some evidence of "anchoring fibril." Like all EB kids, she is missing the anchoring fibrils that hold her layers of skin together. This could mean that she is producing Collagen VII (the protein she's missing) and would be AWESOME news! They are seeing general skin improvement and her former "problem areas" are looking so much better now. When she does blister, she's healing much faster. You can visit her page here.
McKenzie - McKenzie underwent transplant twice, but neither one of them took. She has been through hell TWICE, and has now gone home with no results. She is so happy to be back home with her family and her best friend (dog, Shiloh). She will be eligible for transplant again if she decides she wants to. It's a long, hard road, and I can't imagine enduring anything like that. She is SO strong at the ripe old age of NINE. Please be in prayer for McKenzie. Kids are so resilient, but she has been through so much. You can visit her page here.
EJ - EJ is 46 days post-transplant and still in the thick of it. His counts look good, but he's also been battling some GVHD. I have only found out about EJ recently and haven't had time to catch up on his whole story. I know they are still at the Ronald McDonald House, and EJ is missing McKenzie. They had become good buds. You can visit EJ's page here.
Daylon - Daylon will be the first Junctional EB child to undergo transplant. The other patients so far have had RDEB (Recessive Dystrophic). He has Junctional Herlitz, which is the most severe type of Junctional. Children with JEB-H usually do not survive to their second birthday. Daylon had his Hickman line placed today and is all checked in at the hospital. He starts chemo tomorrow, and things will officially be underway. If all goes as planned he will have his transplant on June 24th. Daylon has an exact sibling match and will turn one in July. You can follow his story here.
Bella - Sweet Bella has just celebrated her first birthday on May 27th and began all of her preliminary tests today. She has an exact sibling match. Her family is residing in Minnesota now and will be there for months to come. This is a quote from her dad from Sunday night, "Tomorrow begins Day 1 in the clinic. Labs, consultations, tests, etc. from 9-3. We'll share much more tomorrow night. We go in your hands, in God's hands, and in each other's hands. I've never felt more proud to be the husband to my wife and the father to my children than tonight. Why? We are ready. We are as ready as we can be for this, whatever it may bring. We are ready, and we are not alone. What else could we ask for? Life is Good. God is Good. Amen, and Amen." AMEN. You can follow Bella's journey here.
Thank you for indulging me. I know it was long (or maybe it was just long on my end). I know this may just seem like a bunch of facts and figures and a lot of blogs and pages to visit, but believe me when I say that it is worth it. I feel so helpless when it comes to DOING much of anything for anybody. I was telling my mother-in-law that I've been completely self-absorbed for the last 16 months. I'm not faulting myself for it. Circumstances called for self-focus. But I do want and wish to do more... for EB kids, for orphans, for the homeless. I want to stop talking and DO. Right now, it's all an abstract general thought, but I hope to start DOING very soon.
So for tonight, I'm putting faces to this horrible disease. I'm sharing these beautiful kids' bravery and courage with you. I'm asking you to pray for, love, and support them. Please, please, go and KNOW these kids. Don't be complacent. It's real. Jonah's not the only one. And I'll tell you, the more I read and know, the more I realize that he's one of the lucky ones. It could be so much worse.
(And speaking of awareness, Zack's mom has let the EB Community know that the public service announcement that Zack is in (in which Jonah's photo also makes an appearance) will air on the Discovery Health channels from 6 pm - 9 pm during the month of June, I believe. Let me know if you see it.)Even when this post is buried months back, you can still follow these kids (and other EB Sweeties) on the right-hand side of my blog. Thanks, as always, for all of your prayers, concern, and desire to DO. We are not alone.

Prophet Pearls #14 – Vaeira (Ezekiel 28:25-29:21)
In this week's episode of Prophet Pearls, Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson discuss the Prophets portion for Vaeira covering Ezekiel 28:25-29:21. This portion reveals Yehovah as maestro—orchestrating kings, nations and events to further the day when the house of Israel, and all mankind, will know who he is. Ezekiel's prophecy that a revelation of God would result from the ingathering can be witnessed today. However, not all who see believe, and Gordon draws an ominous parallel between Pharaoh claiming the Nile as his own and those who boast about modern-day Israel without giving credit to Yehovah.

Carpets will be one of the most expensive items to purchase when furnishing your home, business or office. So naturally you will have to preserve the quality of your carpets to ensure their life expectancy.

Having your carpets cleaned by Sacramento Carpet Cleaning professionals will extend their life expectancy and ensure they retain their freshness. By not cleaning properly you will reduce its life expectancy and risk having to replace them with new carpets in the future.
How Much Does Professional Carpet Cleaning Cost in Countryside Park Sacramento CA?
Carpet manufacturers design their products to disguise dirt and what might appear to be a clean carpet will often be laden with dirt. Sand and grit can cause considerable damage to your carpet if they are left in the fibers. By hiring professional cleaners you can ensure the invisible deeper soils are thoroughly removed and disposed of safely. The benefits of having your carpets professionally cleaned is to ensure your investment appears as fresh and bright as when you first laid them. Steam cleaning is highly recommended by carpet cleaning companies in Countryside Park Sacramento because it will provide your carpet with a much deeper clean.

Steam cleaning is far superior to shampoo cleaning because the process ensures there is no chemical residue left behind. Sacramento Carpet Cleaning Services are also able to help assess your carpet and take proper care of your investment. Another welcome aspect of steam cleaning is that any undesirable stains will be removed and are less likely to remain as a dirty residue. The removal of sticky residues is very important because otherwise they attract dust that will give your carpet an unattractive appearance.
Studies also show that there are many health benefits of carpet cleaning in Countryside Park Sacramento CA. Having clean carpets can prevent young children and adults with asthma, eczema and other allegories suffering from excessive dust, germs or pet hair. As health concerns grow it becomes increasingly important for carpets to be maintained to ensure their well-being and appearance. When properly maintained, a carpet can improve your health, air quality and act as a filter absorbing soil, debris, and other contaminants such as hair and sand. Routine carpet cleaning should be considered part of a healthy lifestyle. By having your carpets steam cleaned and deodorized, this will keep outdoor contaminants such as dirt, sand and other pollutants from under control throughout the year. Some of the other benefits of extracting pollutants from carpets include reducing health problems such as cancers and other respiratory illnesses. The absence of dust particles in your carpet is almost certainly beneficial to your lungs, and this will subsequently improve the lives of young children or anyone with asthma or dust allergies.
Any home with young children will enjoy the benefit of having steam cleaned carpets because a fresh voluminous carpet will minimize cuts and injuries from accidental falls.

What is The Best Carpet Cleaning Method?
Okay we've all got them, well nearly all of us. Carpets. We walk over them every day. Our children walk over them and we shouldn't forget our pets! What is all of this constant traffic doing to ever so often forgotten carpets? Well the most obvious issue is soiling. Our carpets take in a vast amount of soil and dirt which, if left, is not only going to make your home appear dirty it's also going to shorten the life span of your carpet. Dirty carpets can also contain a whole host of other things too. Allergens, mites, urine deposits, greasy stains. Do you really want your home to be hosting these kinds of nasties? No. I thought not!
Cleaning your carpets needn't be an expensive exercise especially if you take small steps in your day to day maintenance procedures too. The first step to a healthy home is to regularly use your vacuum cleaner. If you ignore this step then you probably shouldn't be reading this article in the first place! Use your vacuum cleaner slowly and patiently. Frequent slow passes will remove much more soiling than fast random passes. Use more slow passes in areas of heavy soiling and on traffic lanes. It's a fact that about 80% of the soil in your carpets is dry particulate type soil. This is what the vacuum cleaner is best at removing. Use entrance mats at doorways too! Get to the problem soils before they can get to your carpet! It's much easier and quicker to occasionally clean your entrance mats than your entire room of carpet.
Okay you've taken your own steps to keep your carpets clean but sometimes you need some extra help. Most carpet manufacturers recommend that your carpets receive a deep clean at intervals of about twelve to eighteen months, more frequently if you have a particularly well used carpet. The deep clean not only cleans and revives your carpet but it will prolong its life too. There are various methods of cleaning your carpets and different factors will dictate which method is used but hot water extraction (HWE) is the method recommended by most carpet manufacturers. You can rent a machine and do this yourself or employ the services of a professionally trained and experienced carpet cleaner. With the latter you're assured of the very best results possible plus you can sit down and take a break whilst it's being done!
The professional carpet cleaner's cleaning process will begin with a thorough vacuuming of the carpets to be cleaned. Remember if this isn't done what's going to happen when water comes into contact with dry soil? Exactly! Never skip this important first step. Once the vacuum has been put away a pre-spray, appropriate to the carpet type will be applied by hand sprayer and agitated to get it into the carpet fibres. Any spots and stains will also be addressed at this stage. Following a short dwell time the carpet will be extraction cleaned. This is where the HWE machine is used to inject fluid into the carpet and extracting it at the same time. This means your carpet will not be left soaking wet! The fluid contains a rinse agent and deodorizer which leaves your carpet beautifully clean and fresh and free from sticky residues. Carpet fibres will then be dressed and an optional protector could then be applied which helps in the day to day maintenance of your carpet and prolongs its life too.
So next time you're planning your home maintenance don't forget what's right under your feet. Cleaning your carpets is essential in keeping your home happy and healthy and what's more it's cost effective too!
Need Carpet Shampoo Service?
The debate on dry carpet cleaning vs. carpet steam cleaning (or steam extraction cleaning) continues to rage on among carpet cleaning professionals and consumers alike. Questions about cleaning capability, drying time and water usage are just some of the issues surrounding this debate. Let's take a look at these two methods and see if we can't help clear up some confusion.
Dry carpet cleaning is not a single process but a collection of different products and techniques for cleaning carpets with a minimum use of water. They can be grouped into two basic categories as described below.
Absorbent dry compounds are the 'driest' way to clean carpets. These compounds, containing detergents or solvents, are sprinkled on the carpet. After 30 minutes of dwell time (carpet cleaning talk for 'let the chemicals do their stuff'), these compounds dissolve the oily film on carpet fibers thereby allowing them to be vacuumed out along with the compounds themselves. There is no water used so drying times are not an issue. This method is popular with commercial establishments with high traffic areas that need to be cleaned and dried quickly. They produce satisfactory results but eventually a deeper cleaning will be required.
Very low moisture (VLM) carpet cleaning is the other category. This method, in general, uses some type of absorbent material (each company seems to have their own unique product) that is combined with a small amount of water. The wetted material is then spread over the carpet and usually agitated into the carpet with a machine. The dirt and oils in the carpet are attached to this material (a process called encapsulation) which then dries on its own. It's then vacuumed up and the carpets are dry in 1-2 hours. Some of these companies advertise heavily as 'green' due to the organic nature of their products.
The most common concern with both these methods is the amount of cleaning residue left on the carpet. It all sounds good in theory but customer reviews are mixed. One comment likened it to washing your hair by sprinkling on a cleaning shampoo and just combing it out.
Carpet steam cleaning has been around for years and is still the 'king of the hill' for deep, penetrating carpet cleaning. The combination of hot water and cleaning agents forced into the carpet under pressure then immediately vacuumed out is hard to beat.
New advances in the way truck mounts mix the chemicals with the water and deliver it to the wand tip have improved overall efficiency while reducing the amount of chemicals needed. Also, wand design and the use of glides, in addition to powerful vacuums, helps get most of the water out of the carpet. This helps eliminate the problem of excess wetting and improves drying times.
The choice for which carpet cleaning method to provide is not an easy one. Customers are more demanding that ever and the array of products and equipment keeps getting bigger. You may have to offer both to satisfy the needs of all your customers. Either way, it's a good idea to learn about all the various methods so you can make the right decision for your business.

It was the heartbreaking meltdown on The X Factor seen around the world of 13 year old Rachel Crow buristing into tears and collapsing on the stage. Now, the question everyone is asking is, did judge Paula Abdul cause the whole thing?
A flustered Scherzinger did't know which way to vote and turned to Abdul for advice. Abdul's mic was turned down so the audience never heard what Abdul was whispering. But when the audio is boosted you can hear her tell Scherzinger to, "Just let it go to the deadlock."
Going to deadlock meant voting against Crow,. tying the vote 2 to 2. The audience then voted to send Rachel Crow home.
On his late night show Monday, Jimmy Kimmel confronted Abdul about her role in Crow's dismissal.
"It appeared that you encouraged Nicole to let it go to the deadlock. Is that true?" said Kimmel.
"That's now how...that's how they interpret it," said Abdul.
"I owned the decison that I made right then," said Scherzinger.

Front Page Magazine, by Daniel Greenfield, April 7, 2017:
Terror is the new normal in Western countries with large Muslim populations. Car Jihad has now become ubiquitous and it makes a mockery of gun control arguments.
According to the police, there are 9 seriously injured and 4 dead when the terrorist slammed a hijacked beer truck into a department store. Just as in the London attack, the numbers can easily change. Two children are among the injured. One child is severly hurt.
The attackers fled to the subway. Two men were taken into custody. One appears to have confessed to the attack.
But it's this part of the account which really captures how thoroughly Islamic terror has put countries on a domestic war footing.
Police discourage people from staying in the city. Police urge people to quickly get away from central Stockholm. Shop employees in the area have been asked to remain in the stores and not go out. Police have also urged people not to move to the Old Town and to the people of Södermalm should stay indoors. – Our general recommendation is to avoid the city at all now, both on foot and in cars, says Lars Byström, spokesperson of the Stockholm police.
That's how you know there's a war at home. And if at first they don't succeed, they will keep trying and trying.
Friday's crash is near the site of a December 2010 attack in which Taimour Abdulwahab, a Swedish citizen who lived in Britain, detonated a suicide bomb, killing himself and injuring two others.
Abdulwahab rigged a car with explosives in the hope that the blast would drive people to Drottninggatan — the street hit Friday — where he would set off devices strapped to his chest and back. The car bomb never went off, and Abdulwahab died when one of his devices exploded among panicked Christmas shoppers.
His successor appears to have achieved a better death toll. This is the reality we're all living with. This is what we're going to be living with until real common sense migration reform that closes the door on terror states is implemented.

I have worked for days
Or maybe they were nights
All blending into one long coil.
My calves ache, and some
Bill collector calls—
I want to
Maybe see a movie
Curled up on a dog-filled couch.

What are my responsibilities during my recovery from bypass surgery?
You have several responsibilities while you are recovering from coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, including:
Everyone heals at a different rate. But following your doctor's orders can help you achieve a fast and comfortable recovery.
Settling in at home
It may be worthwhile to keep all of your medical information together and handy during your recovery, including:
Caring for your wounds
A major aspect of your recovery is caring for the incision (sternotomy) made to open your chest during CABG surgery. Because it is so important that this incision heals properly, many limitations are placed upon you during your recovery. You also need to take care of the skin around your arm or leg incisions. All of your incisions need to be taken care of so that they can heal quickly and without infection. To do this, you need to:
Do not:
Your chest
Your surgeon may cut through your chest bone, or sternum, to perform your CABG surgery. Unlike other bones in your body, your sternum cannot be placed in a cast while it heals. Instead, your surgeon wraps heavy wire around it to hold the edges together. The sternum can heal properly only if the ends are held together constantly for several weeks. Therefore, you should not engage in strenuous activities that could shift the two edges apart during the first 4 to 6 weeks of your recovery.
Two activities that can shift the edges of your sternum apart and so should be avoided are:
Your arm or leg
Your arm or leg incision may be swollen and painful. This results not only from the incision that cut through your skin and muscle but also from losing a blood vessel in your arm or leg that would normally circulate blood in the area of the incision. It will take a little time for your arm or leg to adjust to the missing vessel and for your incision to heal.
To help your arm or leg recover faster and more comfortably, you can:
Taking your medicines
You may need to take medicines after your CABG surgery. Your doctor or nurse will give you written instructions for taking your medicines before you leave the hospital. These new medicines may be in addition to or instead of the medicines you were taking before your surgery. Make sure that your doctor or nurse explains very clearly to you what medicines you should be taking.
You need to know:
You need to do the following:
Blood thinners
One of the medicines you may be prescribed after CABG surgery is an anticoagulant, such as warfarin (Coumadin, for example). This medicine helps prevent blood clots. You will likely need regular blood tests to check how the blood thinner is working. If you are having home health care, your home health nurse may take your blood test. If you do not have home health care, you will go to your doctor's office, a lab, or the hospital for your blood test.
When you take warfarin, you need to take extra steps to avoid bleeding problems.
For more information, see the topic:
Watching your weight
It is important to watch your weight very closely after your surgery. A sudden increase in your weight is often a sign of fluid retention. This fluid retention can point to a problem, such as worsening heart function and kidney failure.
To monitor your weight, you should:
Improving your heart and lung functions
While you are recovering from your CABG surgery, you will need to work on increasing your physical activity or exercising. You need to become more physically active, because you need to restore your full lung function. You also need to improve the blood circulation throughout your body. This will help your body heal properly.
If you do not exercise, you risk developing blood clots within the blood vessels of your legs. This is a painful condition that can cause several complications, including blockage of a blood vessel.
Walking is an excellent exercise after CABG surgery. Walking is safe and someone else can easily walk with you. Your leg will be sore if your surgeon removed blood vessels from your leg to use during your surgery. Despite this pain, it is important to your recovery that you continue to walk.
Attending cardiac rehabilitation
Based on your health and rate of recovery, your doctor will recommend that you enroll in a cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) program to help you recondition and strengthen your heart. Usually, the program will start 4 to 6 weeks after your surgery. This type of cardiac rehab program is known as a phase II program. (A phase I program refers to any rehab steps you begin right after your CABG surgery).
In the phase II program, a specially trained nurse will help you improve your heart's strength and overall health in sessions of supervised exercise using a treadmill or a bike. In addition, you will also receive education about healthy eating and lifestyle habits each week. For more information, see the topic Cardiac Rehabilitation.
Some tips for exercising after CABG
Work with your doctor and rehabilitation specialist to develop a rehabilitation plan. The following is a general guideline for increasing your exercise:
Although you may be weak, tired, or experiencing chest soreness as a result of your surgery, many people with coronary artery disease (CAD) can work their way back up to normal activity levels by participating in a structured cardiac rehabilitation program or by working with their doctor to develop a home exercise program.
Making changes in your lifestyle
Your doctor probably told you that certain aspects of your lifestyle (such as smoking, an unhealthy diet, or high stress) make your cardiac health worse. Now that you have had your diseased arteries repaired with open-heart surgery, you want to be sure that your CAD does not get worse. In particular, it is important to keep your new bypass grafts healthy. Your doctors, nurses, or rehabilitation team members can help you take steps to quit smoking, start eating a heart-healthy diet, and reduce the stress in your life.
Resuming sexual activity
You will be able to resume sexual activity after you recover from surgery. But several factors may discourage you from resuming sexual activity.
Professional counselling may help you to understand and deal with your fears.
When you and your partner decide to start having sex again, it might be helpful to keep in mind the following:

I have quite a large tooth gap. My dentist said it's about 9mm. I want to fix it. He's suggesting lumineers. I wondered if there are any other options, because it's just the gap that bothers me and he wants to do like six different lumineers. That's pretty expensive. But, I'm too old to have a mouth full of metal braces.
Guadelupe – Florida
Whatever you do, don't get lumineers to fix this tooth gap. The size of the gap you mentioned is large enough to fit an entire other tooth. That would look really weird. An expert cosmetic dentist could possibly pull it off, but based on what you've said, your dentist is not an expert cosmetic dentist.
A tooth gap can be fixed with porcelain veneers, but generally it would need to be a smaller gap. There is a better option, that is much more affordable. Close the gap.
You don't have to use traditional braces to do it. Invisalign uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth. It can close your gap, in half the time of braces and much more comfortably.
I'll be honest, your dentist should have told you about all your options. In fact, he's ethically bound to do so. I'm a little concerned he chose not to all while only telling you about a very expensive treatment, that wouldn't even work well.

TRENTON -- Legislation to allow same-sex marriage in New Jersey cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee tonight after more than seven hours of emotional debate and testimony, setting the stage for a showdown in the full Senate.
Cheers erupted in the packed hearing room when the committee approved the bill 7 to 6.
• How members of the Judiciary committee voted on the gay marriage bill
• Paul Mulshine: Gay marriage: Why not trust the people? Put the N.J. measure on the ballot
• Full Star-Ledger coverage of the Gay Marriage Debate in New Jersey
"The marriage equality movement in America starts again here, right here," Steven Goldstein, chair of the gay rights advocacy group Garden State Equality, said after the vote.
During the marathon hearing, opponents — including Orthodox Jews and Catholic officials — argued that same-sex marriage would damage religious freedom and is not needed because the state already permits civil unions. Supporters -- including civil rights leaders and legal experts -- said gay couples do not have equal rights without being allowed to marry.
"Like race, our sexuality isn't a preference," said Julian Bond, chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who traveled from Washington, D.C., to testify. "It's immutable, unchangeable and the Constitution protects us all from discrimination."
|Senate committee hears emotional testimony on same-sex marriage bill
Josh Pruzanzsky, executive director of the Agudath of Israel of New Jersey, said same-sex marriage legislation "would endanger religious freedom, inhibit free speech and undermine the preferred status of marriage. It would convey a social message that is deeply offensive to many residents of the state of New Jersey and lead to further erosions in the traditional conception of family."
Senators added an amendment, proposed by Sen. Bill Baroni (R-Mercer), clarifying that clergy are not required to marry same-sex couples if it conflicts with their religious beliefs.The hearing was sometimes heated and often emotional as teary-eyed families pleaded with the committee to approve same-sex marriage. One New Jersey mother asked lawmakers opposing the bill to tell her gay son that, "He can't get married. He's not good enough."
Hundreds of people signed up to speak, and the hearing room remained full throughout hours of testimony. People wanting to testify had to wait in another committee room, and some ordered pizza deliveries to the Statehouse tonight.
Tonight's narrow vote did not follow party lines. Republican Baroni voted yes along with six Democrats, while two Democrats, committee chair Paul Sarlo (D-Bergen) and vice chair John Girgenti (D-Passaic), both voted no.
Gov. Jon Corzine praised the committee for advancing the bill (S1967/A2978), saying same-sex marriage is a "civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law."
It's unclear if the measure has enough support to pass the entire Senate, where it could reach the floor for a vote as early as Thursday.
"A lot of the advocates feel that they're close and getting closer," said Senate President Richard Codey (D-Essex). "It's certainly going to be a fairly close vote."
If it passes the Senate, the debate would be renewed in the Assembly. Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer), the Legislature's first openly gay member, said he believes support from the Senate should give enough momentum for it to also pass the Assembly.
During the long — and largely civil — debate, senators and advocates prodded each other on religious issues and legal questions over whether civil unions provide same-sex couples equal rights. At one point, Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Bergen), a primary proponent of same-sex marriage, discussed the Torah with three rabbis.
|Senate judiciary committee vote to approve same-sex marriage bill
Weinberg said lawmakers should not base their votes on religious texts. "We are a country governed by laws that ensure equality and fairness for every individual," she said.
Pat Branigan of the New Jersey Catholic Conference said it's the state's responsibility to enforce the civil union statute, enacted in 2006, and investigate whether any "unfounded allegations" of discrimination against gay couples are true. "The state of New Jersey should educate the public and should enforce state laws that provide protection for same sex" couples, Branigan said.
Same-sex marriage advocates have mounted a last-ditch effort before Gov.-elect Chris Christie, who opposes the measure, takes office. Sen. Gerald Cardinale (R-Bergen), who opposes the bill, said if Corzine signs it before leaving office, he "would be turning a deaf ear to the voice of the electorate."
If the measure is enacted, New Jersey would be the sixth state to allow gay marriage. Residents in 31 states, most recently Maine, have rejected same-sex marriage in referendum votes.
In 2006, the state Supreme Court ruled that committed same-sex couples deserve the same rights and obligations as married people. Lawmakers legalized civil unions later that year, and gay rights organizations continued their push for same-sex marriage.
The New Jersey State Bar Association, the state's largest lawyers organization, has said civil unions were "second-class legal status" for gay couples.

The Ronald McDonald House has been working to help provide temporary homes for families enduring prolonged illness and/or treatment situations. This month Atlanta music scene veterans Charles Hedgepath (guitar), Ike Stubblefield (keyboards) and Yonrico Scott (drums) will join forces at a couple of Holiday-themed performances to raise money for this altruistic organization.
The first of these is the 4th Atlanta Chriskwanukkah event. Hosted again by Brilliant Productions (with the support of Atlanta's 1690am Voice of the Arts Radio), this concert will also serve as the CD Release party for "We Three Kings" – a new Independent release from Hedgepath, Stubblefield and Scott which is a collection of soulful and at times Santa-funky instrumental, takes on music of the season. The trio will perform songs from the release, and a bunch of other music—some holiday-themed and some not. Many Atlanta musicians have expressed an interest in joining in the fun. Grant Green Jr. is confirmed to perform, and speculation is at a fever pitch about who else may show up to sit in. Proceeds from the concert will indeed go to the McDonald house and it begins at 7:30pm on December 17 and will be held at The Solarium in the Oakhurst section of Decatur, GA.
Then two nights later at The Handlebar in Greenville, SC Hedgepath, Stubblefield and Scott will be featured at the 8th Annual Christmas Jam also to benefit The McDonald House. As always, this Christmas Jam will be hosted by Charlie's horn-driven funk band The Work (essentially an all-star band of South Carolina musicians). The Work will perform three full sets at this event, and a variety of guests will also be featured including some announced (Stubblefield, Scott, Bobby Lee Rodgers, Shannon Hoover, Shane Pruitt) and some not. The evening will also feature material from Hedgepath's "We Three Kings" release, a silent auction at which attendees can bid on many items among them a guitar signed by all musicians on hand at the Christmas Jam, a ceramic piece by renowned Ceramicist Warner Hyde and a 3 night stay at Woodlands Pet Resort.
Fans of Yonrico Scott should be made aware that tonight his other band, The Derek Trucks Band, kicks off its final week of Southern shows with pair of performances at Atlanta's Variety Playhouse. Colonel Bruce Hampton and his Quark Alliance will open tonight and Tinsley Ellis opens tomorrow. The Trucks Band will also perform at the Fly South Festival on Saturday. This event celebrates the grand opening of the Allman Brothers Band Museum in Macon, GA – and proceeds from the festival will go toward keeping the museum in Macon. The band will then go North to play its final dates before taking an indefinite hiatus. These dates include three New York State shows which will also feature opening sets from songstress Shannon McNally including DTB's final currently scheduled performance at The Egg in Albany December 13.

Supporting financial resilience
Re/insurance supports financial resilience by acting as a shock absorber and promoting growth through its core businesses. This is particularly important in a challenging and volatile macro-economic environment.
Insurers' core activities do not pose a systemic risk. This is the conclusion of a study launched by the Geneva Association, the international think tank and global CEO platform.
It recommends that regulators and policymakers focus on risk activities and not on institutions when introducing new macro-prudential regimes.
The study analysed the role of insurance in financial stability and systemic risk, concluding that core insurance activities, namely managing capital, providing protection and transferring risks through reinsurance or capital markets, pose no systemic threat.
Applying the Financial Stability Board's (FSB) definition of systemic risk to these activities, complemented by the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS) considerations, the study found: their limited size means there would be no disruption to financial markets or the whole economy; that claims impacts are slow enough that insurers can absorb them over time; that the degree of interconnectedness between insurers means that the risk of contagion is also reduced; that the insurance market has a strong ability to rebuild capacity.
The report also found two non-core insurance activities which caused difficulties during the crisis and which could be a source of systemic risk if conducted on a massive scale, with inadequate risk management or insufficient regulatory oversight. These are derivatives trading on non-insurance balance sheets and mis-management of short-term funding from commercial papers or securities lending.
The insurance industry does not object to being part of the systemic risk monitoring process but believes that insurance representatives should be fairly represented. Five recommendations for enhancing financial stability are mentioned in the report: these include implementing a principle-based group supervision and strengthening risk management for liquidity risk and for the industry as a whole.
Stefan Lippe, CEO of Swiss Re, launched the report in London on 25 February 2010 together with other Geneva Association members Nikolaus von Bomhard, CEO of Munich Re, and Andrew Moss, CEO of Aviva. The report was also presented at the International Association of Insurance Supervisors'(IAIS) Technical Committee hearing in Basel where Raj Singh, Swiss Re's Chief Risk Officer, participated in a presentation.
"Global and large insurers and reinsurers play an important role in supporting the global economy,"said Stefan Lippe. "They are shock absorbers and have the capacity to adopt investment strategies with long-term horizons. That is why we should be considered part of the solution to financial stability."
Raj Singh said: "The insurance industry weathered the financial crisis and was not the source of its making. This report represents a constructive contribution to the debate on systemic risk and we look forward to further dialogue with the insurance industry supervisors on this matter."

GRAND PRIX - HOW TO "SURVIVE" (Monte Carlo)
For all "newcomers" to this mega event, here are some information about daily life in town:
The Grand Prix starts on Thursday, 26 May and lasts until Sunday afternoon.
Most businesses are closed for that period until Monday.
Downtown Monaco is also closed for traffic all day on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, and Friday morning.
Visitors by car from out of town will be directed to the underground parkings in Fontvieille.
If you want to avoid bumper-to-bumper traffic in town ... WALK or take the bus.
If you come back to Monaco from out of town, choose the autoroute exits at La Turbie (coming from Nice) or the "normal" exit (coming from Menton). Then you continue on the Grande Corniche and take the back roads down to town, such as the D 53 between the Vista Palace and La Turbie and continue on the smaller roads leading from the Moyenne Corniche into Monaco.
Traffic is most heavy around the Jardin Exotique and Boulevard des Moulins, and this not only before and after the races.
SNCF is adding additional trains to the regular schedule.
On Saturday and Sunday, passenger flows in and out of the train station are directed by police and security personnel to avoid too crowded platforms. Be patient.
Monaco CAM bus lines are working on an adapted continuous schedule between Saint Roman, Fontvieille, Monaco Ville and Jardin Exotique during day time, while the port area/race course is closed to public traffic.
TAM/RCA bus lines between Nice and Menton are working, and only leave out the stops along the port area in Monaco. Of course, bus trips might take longer than expected.
Supermarkets are open, some of them even on Sunday, but usually very crowded.
Hospital Princesse Grace is on red alert during the whole weekend, with most of the doctors on call Protected content in case.
Friday afternoon is the most busy trafficwise, because the race track opens to the public in the afternoon ... and EVERYBODY is trying to drive on the rubber marks of Vettel, Webber, Hamilton & Co. Believe me, at only 20 km/h it takes considerably longer to finish the 3 km long drive.
If you have guests, you can still visit Monaco Ville and its famous sights, though the view of the port is blocked by wooden planks. The Casino Square is closed to the public during the races and the Casino re-opens (to my knowledge) only after the race track is again open to traffic late afternoon/early evening.
The BEST place in town that weekend is definitely the Casino Square for sports car spotting and people watching.
One more idea: Watching the Friday morning training sessions is free of charge and you can try out the various tribunes for your Saturday or Sunday visit.
Standing places at the Rocher have the most stunning view over most of the race course; to take binoculars is advisable.
Detailed information about the schedules and some GP history: Protected content
Tickets can be purchased online, or at the ticket stalls all over town.
For those of you, allergic to noise and/or fumes, try the Monaco local TV with all day live coverage of all the various training sessions and races, commentated in French, Italian, English and German.
Formula-1-cars will hit the race track for the first trials at 10 a.m. on Thursday. Close your windows from then on, if you want to do a relatively undisturbed phone call :-).
Enjoy this exiting weekend nonetheless!

Theater of the absurd
The TV commercials leading up to the upcoming elections include some real howlers. Now Gatsby Wyden's taking credit for Google siting a server farm out in the Dalles. The best part is where the mayor out there comes on and says, "I'm a Republican and I love Ron Wyden."
No kidding, buddy.

Arizona Football Press Conference Quotes
March 27, 2003
On spring football's delayed starting date:'One of the blessings in disguise about having some turnover in our coaching staff is that by postponing the start of spring practice, we have spent more time talking about football, watching video tapes and doing things that we enjoy doing to get ready for the spring practices than we have in years. We have had almost all of February and March. I have watched more film and done more discussions with coaches, and we have talked about things in more detail than we have done in years.'
'It's going to be a little warmer, but if you are at Arizona, you shouldn't be worrying about whether or not it is going to be warm for football practice. I believe it will work out just fine. The guys will finish with about three weeks to go in the semester. It also has given the players an extended period of time to work with Brad Arnett, so they could get started on their strength conditioning and running.'
On the team's goals for the opening weekend:'We start on Saturday. We will not be in pads on Saturday and Sunday, just helmets. Those will be big installation days for us. Saturday and Sunday are big days for us to get our offense put in there and get it started, but they are even bigger days for our defense to get ready to go.'
On the offense:'From an offensive standpoint, we have some new coaches. They have moved along quickly; they learn very fast, and they're smart, so they know what we're doing. Mike Deal knows all of our protections and our run games because we have done them all together before, so that is not an issue at all. Jeff Hecklinski has taught the same passing game for about five years, so that's not an issue.'
On the defense:'Defensively, we are making a dramatic change in the scheme and in our style of play. We are switching to a three-man line with four linebackers. In this defense, our defensive ends fit very nicely into the category of outside linebacker. They are the size of what a lot of pro teams would be looking for in outside linebackers. This is a range of guys who can rush the passer and who are physical enough to rough the passer and play the run. In addition, our linebacker depth is a little better than it might look because we have some young players who are familiar with this style of defense. In our secondary, we played a lot of four-man coverage concepts last year, so it is not foreign to what we're doing now.'
On Arizona's objectives for spring drills:'We have to install our defense and get our personnel situated. No doubt, there will be some players who change positions or maybe fit something a little better. We will be moving them as time permits and as the opportunity presents itself. We want to get a good nucleus of people, and we want to get the players in places where they can play and have some success. The biggest thing is getting our personnel lined up because not everybody fits into a position when you change defenses.'
'We have to do a better job of establishing a basic defensive discipline. Watching tapes over the winter, we saw a lot of instances where play after play, someone was in the wrong position, someone missed an assignment, or someone didn't get the call. There were just too many instances where we did not have all 11 defenders playing exactly where we wanted them to play.'
'On offense, we have to get our offensive run game going again. We will cut back to a limited number of plays and be a little hard-headed about it, which is okay because that's how you have to be in order to run the football. We will just ram that ball in there a little more this spring than we have in the past. That will be good for everyone involved.'
'Also, we have to renovate our pass protection. I don't think we have to change schemes, but we have some different emphasis points. Being in the NFL, Mike Deal really brings some knowledge to us and some understanding of the pass protection part even more so than when he worked with me at two different places. I'm really pleased that he is back. We gave up far too many sacks last year, and Jason Johnson really played well, but I think he could have played even better if we had done a better job in some of these areas.'
'The other thing is for us to develop our quarterback position with our young quarterbacks. We want to be sure that these guys can handle our offense. It will basically be between Nic (Costa) and Ryan (O'Hara) in the spring. We need for them to get a hold on some things and then for us to go from there. We won't throw everything at them as much as we might in some other places. We also will go slowly enough so they can learn exactly what we want them to do, and they can grow from there. What I don't want is for them to be overwhelmed with so many things that they never get to master anything. That is a big challenge for us.'
'The third area is the special teams area. In the past, we have always given a lot of attention to the punt game. We will be working on all of our special teams, with punt getting the major emphasis. We will be working with all of our special teams units throughout the spring and giving them more emphasis than we have in the past.'
On the battle for the No. 1 quarterback position:'It is going to be up for grabs. I would be surprised if somebody outdistances himself from the other this spring. Nic (Costa) and Ryan (O'Hara) are going to get about 75 to 80 percent of the work and maybe even a little more, and everybody else will get a little bit less than that. Our priority has to be with those two players with whom we have invested the most in, and we have to find out what they can do. Based upon that, it will determine where the new kids fit in when they come in the fall.'
On potential position changes:'There aren't too many. Anthony Fulcher was targeted as a strong safety, but he winds up being one of our faster guys, so he may be tried at cornerback as well. Lamon Means will probably flip flop between both safety positions. There are not a whole lot of differences. What does make a little bit of a difference is that some of those outside linebacker types, the rovers and whips, like Joe Siofele, will start at the Mike linebacker spot, which is basically the middle linebacker spot. Kirk Johnson and Matt Molina, who were whips, will be targeted at the inside linebacker positions. The defensive ends like Marcus (Smith), Copeland (Bryan) and Andre Torrey are going to be targeted as outside linebackers. Some of them may not be able to play standing up, and that's what we have to find out.'
On Arizona's 2003 schedule:'We have a great schedule starting with our non-conference schedule. It will be challenging. Players like to play good teams, and I think we will play better. We will have to play better because three of our four non-conference opponents were all bowl teams last year. Everyone we play in the conference went to a bowl or was bowl eligible, so it will be a tough schedule. Our home schedule is fantastic, and this is as good of a home schedule as anybody could ask for.'

1-Rising In Size From A Simple Shave:
When "manscaping", people tend to gain some inches. For a man with a small penis it is crucial because it goes from 3.5 inches to 4.5. There it is big guy, it's time to make some sorry woman real disappointed tonight.
You will never have to worry about touching the inside of a nasty toilet bowl. Breathe easy and enjoy that care free sitting on that nice cold porcelain bowl without worry that you will not be able to pee while sitting.
Now that you are done on the toilet one needs to put their clothes back on. You are less likely to get your "member" stuck in the zipper of your pants and not have to grimace because of that "member" getting caught. That's 2 for 2 in my book, catastrophic emergency avoided.
3-Sports Science:
When playing sports, a cup isn't necessary. Your target area is virtually non-existent so the chances of getting hit are greatly reduced. Run freely and achieve maximum speed without having to worry about the burden of protection because your little man protects himself with his miniscule size.
4-No Baby Mamma Drama:
Having a small penis means that you think you are "drilling her" and getting all the way in when she is just thinking about the last time someone was hitting the bottom of her stomach. However at least you do not have to worry as the chances of impregnating her exponentially decrease because of the lack of depth which you provide. While that well endowed male has to worry about his impending child support payment you can enjoy a nice beer as you wait to short stroke another female the next weekend. Stay thirsty my friends.
5-Backdoor Entry:
Most girls don't enjoy this because it might hurt too much, but that's no problem here! With the right approach this can be welcomed with "arms" wide open. Take that VIP entrance boys and be the bell of the ball.

oa South African Medical Journal - Emotional immaturity
Emotions are important factors in the aetiology of many diseases and may lead to organic changes. An individual�s capacity to withstand frustration will depend on his emotional maturity. The immature personality - like the child-loves no one but himself and cannot withstand frustration. Sooner or later he will develop psychological or physical illness. The mature personality -characterised by self-denial is likely to remain well. National immaturity and ill-health (wars) are analogous to individual immaturity. Both can be prevented by improvement of the individual in ethical first principles.

A three-goal third period gave the Canmore Eagles a 5-1 win over the Calgary Mustangs in Alberta Junior Hockey League action Saturday night.
Canmore ran its winning streak to six games and took sole possession of fourth place in the South Division playing before 490 fans at the Canmore Recreation Centre.
Five different players scored for Canmore including Jesse Sheen scoring his first junior A goal in his 49th game. Also scoring were league-leading points collector Matt Forchuk (his 22nd goal but first in nine games), Braden Saretsky (his team-leading 26th goal), Coy Prevost (19) and Dondre Watson (4).
Replying for the AJHL last-place Mustangs was Damon Porter (7).
"These are tough games to play because it is not easy for our guys to get up," said Andrew Milne, Eagles GM and head coach. "It sounds bad and we needed the two points but at times we get a little bit lackadaisical. … We are learning how to win and be successful. If we come and trounce them it is positive for the offence but it doesn't really help the mental side. And right now we want to build mentally strong players so they are ready for mentally tough situations in the playoffs."
Canmore outshot the Mustangs 52-21 with Thomas Davis (9-3) in goal for the Eagles and Michael Barabash (3-12) in goal for the visitors. Both goaltenders were property of the Spruce Grove Saints to start this season.
Canmore's power play was scoreless in eight changes against the league's worst penalty killing unit. The Mustangs were scoreless in five power-play chances.
"Our power play was awful, not because of structure but because we weren't there mentally," said Milne. "How many did we shoot in (Barabash's) chest."
Forchuk had the lone first period goal at 15:09. He also picked up an assist to improve his league-best points total to 73 (22 goals and 51 assists).
The teams traded shorthanded goals in the second period with Prevost scoring his second shorthanded marker in as many games at 1:15. Porter replied for the Mustangs at 5:05.
Canmore outshot the Mustangs 24-10 in the second period with Barabash keeping his team in the game through the first 40 minutes.
"He's done that before," said Milne. "We knew going into (the game) we would probably have to fire 50 pucks at him because in the past he has played really well."
In the third period, Saretsky at 7:44, Watson at 9:34 and Sheen at 10:04 assured the two points were in the win column for the Eagles.
Saretsky also finished with one assist to climb to sixth in league scoring with 58 points (26 goals and 32 assists.
Picking up two assists was Ferguson who is fourth overall in scoring at 68 points (25 goals and 43 assists).
But the hero of the night was Sheen who scored his first goal of the season.
"It felt good [getting that first goal]," said Sheen. "I just skated in and whacked at it. I felt it hit my stick so I celebrated."
Colton Young had the first whack at the puck with the rebound sitting loose in the crease before Sheen pounced on it. Milne said everyone was happy for the hard-working, rookie defenceman.
"We were all excited," said Milne. "He has been so good for us all season, coming in as a young guy playing top pairing minutes. He has been in on every penalty kill, plays in key situations against the other team's top lines. So I am happy for him to finally get rewarded with a goal."
Canmore (28-16-5) moved to solo fourth place with 61 points as the Camrose Kodiaks (28-19-3) lost 3-2 to the North Division Saints (32-15-5).
The Eagles moved within three points of the third-place Calgary Canucks (30-16-4) and remain four points back of the second-place Okotoks Oilers (30-15-5). The Oilers defeated the Canucks 3-2 in a shootout, coming back from a 2-0 first-period deficit.
The Mustangs (8-38-2) are currently on a three-game losing streak and are last overall in the AJHL. They host the Eagles on Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. at Father David Bauer Arena.
EAGLES NEST: Not suiting up for Canmore were F Jake Ashton and D Adamu Tanaka. … The Eagles play their next five games on the road including a doubleheader in Camrose against the Kodiaks on Thursday and Friday. … Camrose has to host the league-leading Brooks Bandits (40-4-4) on Tuesday before they take on the Eagles.

It had better not be foil-backed plasterboard.
Perhaps the thumbdown didn't agree that later systems are vulnerable? But those are the affected systems reported at www.ccn-cert.cni.es
Except when you average the purchase cost over the life of the drive ...
Surely your consent would be a part of your record, which this non-local A&E would be able to see, but not change?
Don't you think regular steganography offers a simpler method applicable to a much wider range of data exchanges?
The MPAA figure assumes that the pirates' clients would otherwise have paid (and ignores those who download "unofficial content" but then buy the authentic Blu-Ray, vinyl etc.) and everyone else thinks that's silly. Are you proposing extending the sicko pervs' audience by introducing a class of casual paedos who watch but don't pay? I'm not sure that's the desired effect.
That sounds like powerful magic.
i686 is too recent for some of my hardware anyway. :-)
My Intel Android tablet was cheap because Intel was paying manufacturers to make them, to try to get a foot in the door of the tablet market. I don't know if they're still engaged in this folly.
There will probably be people back-porting stuff from newer GNU and Linux releases to keep 32-bit environments somewhat up-to-date, in a "security fixes but no new features" sort of way. In many embedded situations it may not matter that updates aren't available anyway - it it ain't broke don't fix it.
P4 was a nasty evolutionary cul-de-sac, does anyone actually choose to run these today when old Intel Core systems are cheap as chips? I have some earlier Pentium systems (and some even older) for which I might conceivably find a use, sitting in a corner quietly doing something low-powered or attached to a specific piece of hardware, but really Raspberry Pi has made most of those obsolete too.
Driving while using a cellphone.
Walking while texting.
ITYF precedent doesn't get set by the lower courts. And anyway I think you'll not easily replicate the circumstances that made up that particular case.
Seems like unnecessary hassle - if they were going to make Windows 10 a must-have "upgrade" wouldn't they have done something about it by now, rather than just trying to trick punters into installing it as a "security update"? Windows 7 is in extended support until January 2020 - won't you be buying a new machine by then, with the obligatory Windows installation, anyway?
There's some doubt that it was actually her bike, and I've not seen proof that she ever used it.
There's a minimum weight limit for competition bikes, so no point shaving off grammes.
The UCI is all about restricting new technology - their rulebook is an OCD control freak's dream. Were it not for the UCI's interference, cyclists would probably be riding aerodynamic missiles with regenerative braking, rather than the basically Edwardian things that they have now.
I've recently been fiddling with Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and as a side effect I've been doing more electronics stuff than I have in decades.
But there's a boom in things like Raspberry Pi and 3D printers - they should be able to surf that wave, if they could resist applying their usual ridiculous markup that makes them embarrassingly uncompetitive with UK online sellers, let alone Chinese suppliers.
"We" is first person plural.
The Sale of Goods Act 1979 was superseded by the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
But a beige Rover 600 should be given a wide berth.
I think that may not be long enough in a multiple pile up, and I'm not sure that airbag deployment is the best indicator of an event either.
How about turning up the ICE in a double-glazed car?
That's fine, because as soon as there's a whiff of prosecution they'll be calling in legal and technical experts on both sides to sort out what happened and what matters.
Why would they be reluctant? Their call will be recorded and logged by the emergency call centre, so unless people are in the habit of calling to say they've been in an accident before it happens ...
And when they find something illegal on it, who are they going to invite to assist with their enquiries?
So what happens once they're wearing trousers?
But how do you tell a rogue USB stick that mimics an HID from a genuine HID?
Did you try just setting permissions on the installed driver files to read-only? (I have no idea how WU would treat that - I don't use Windows any more.)
I tend to live in (proper, not "fashion") combat trousers, their pockets are many, capacious and robust.
Were the slurped files on the mail server, or did they use the compromised mail server to access a separate document management system?
I didn't read this one.
Upgrade the PC hardware, run XP virtualised and have the host SW keep a very close eye on network behaviour?
Experience tends to suggest that people drive more carefully and considerately in this sort of setting with as few traffic signs and road markings as possible. It's only the extreme idiots like the one in the story who need lines to keep inside (although they tend not to manage even that - what is it with all these drivers who can't stop before the stop line at junctions, or keep inside the lane markings on bends?)
Architectural features, starting with Aspirational Architrave.
I used it a couple of times, then installed Synaptic. Apparently that's still available in 16.04, so no problem.
You don't carry a mouse with you? If I'm going to be using someone else's machine I put a trackball in my bag.
It sound as if it relies on people not disabling remote login. :-o
I think it's more likely the Falklands connection that was considered offensive.
I think "gotten" is archaic English, like some other Americanisms. The ugliness of "get"/"got"/"gotten" is best avoided by using an appropriate alternative in many cases, although it is acceptable in a few.
I wouldn't use that machine before it's been thoroughly sanitized with a stack of anti-malware apps, or freshly installed on a wiped hard drive.
I'm not talking about how a device looks to someone on the internet - most home users are behind NAT routers that make them appear to have a single public IP address. But we know that, they're on a LAN based on that router so they're technically "not supported" for internet banking purposes.
What would be the point of asking for a spoofed caller ID?
It doesn't have to be Wi-Fi - for a start anyone connecting through a device that has an address in one of the IPV4 private ranges (10.n.n.n 172.16-31.n.n 192.168.n.n) is clearly using a LAN. It would be interesting to know what First Direct thinks a LAN is. A journalist should ask them why they're excluding the majority of their users from support.
Properly fix the link:
the Urban Dictionary needing to be deleted from IBM Watson's input set
That's not true - you have six years from the date of purchase to make a claim against a seller, but items that might reasonably be expected to have a shorter lifetime don't have six years of cover. If the court decides that an iGadget has an expected lifetime of four years and yours fails after five years the six years is irrelevant. Even if it fails after three years you can only expect to be reimbursed a quarter of the purchase price.
They have if you look at it in terms of motivation to hack their product - with so little market share it's hardly worth anyone's time to try picking holes in it.
He "seemed to be unaware of who his team had booked" i.e he was unaware of which entertainment act his team had booked, not who it was from his team who made the choice of act.
