Regularly playing a musical instrument changes the anatomy and function of the brain and may be used in therapy to improve cognitive skills.
There is growing evidence that musicians have structurally and functionally different brains compared with non-musicians. In particular, the areas of the brain used to process music are larger or more active in musicians. Even just starting to learn a musical instrument can changes the neurophysiology of the brain.
Lutz Jncke, a member of Faculty of 1000 Medicine, proposes using music in neuropsychological therapy, for example to improve language skills, memory, or mood. In a review for Faculty of 1000 Biology Reports, an online publication in which leading researchers highlight advances in their field, Jncke summarizes recent studies of professional musicians.
The brain regions involved in music processing are also required for other tasks, such as memory or language skills. "If music has such a strong influence on brain plasticity," writes Jncke, "this raises the question of whether this effect can be used to enhance cognitive performance."
Several studies indeed show that musical practice increases memory and language skills, and Jncke suggests expanding this field: "Hopefully, the current trend in the use of musicians as a model for brain plasticity will continue ... and extend to the field of neuropsychological rehabilitation."

Every now and then, a computer comes along that makes a mark, that sets a trend, or that simply stuns you - but not because of its internals, its processor or its software, but because of its appearance. Through the history of computing, there have been a number of computers that were actually designed to appeal not just because of raw technology alone, but also because of stunning looks. Read on for a countdown of my ten most beautiful computers.

How can you justify not including this? It litterally redefined what colours and form factor a PC(mac) could be. It has been emulated countless times and not just by PCs but also by periferal makers
Because I find it ugly as sin?
And I actually own one. I had it on display as a decorative item in my house for a while, even though I didn't like it. I had it on display because of its significance to Apple, not because it looks good.
Because darn, that thing is ugly.
That's because you aren't looking at it from the correct angle. The original iMacs a beautiful rear end. Turn it around so the screen doesn't show and look at once in awhile over a few weeks. It will grow on you.
No I didn't do that on purpose and most computers rear ends are the epitome of ugly.

text: ApolloMythical FigureBorn: ? Birthplace: Ancient Greece Best known as: The sun god of Greek mythology Famously handsome and an expert archer, Apollo was a Greek -- and, later, Roman -- god, the son of mighty Zeus and the Titan Leto. Headstrong at first, he grew to represent music, poetry, medicine and the civilized arts. He is also known as the Sun God. According to legend, Apollo drove the fiery chariot that was the sun across the sky each day. Apollo was the only one of the 12 Olympian gods to have the same name in both Greek and Roman mythology. His twin sister was the Greek goddess Artemis (known as Diana in Rome). Extra credit: Apollo appears in Homer's epics The Iliad and The Odyssey… His name was borrowed for the American space program that put the first man on the moon. Copyright © 1998-2017 by Who2?, LLC.

Iran blames US for 'intolerable' meddling
Tens of thousands rallied behind defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi again on Wednesday. Soccer players at a World Cup qualifying match wore green to show their solidarity.
Istanbul, Turkey — Five days into the vast and sometimes violent street demonstrations over Friday's contested presidential election, Iran blamed the United States for "intolerable" interference in its domestic affairs.
President Barack Obama had specifically said he was avoiding being seen as meddling, saying it was "not productive, given the history of US-Iranian relations."
State television has portrayed the violence at rallies supporting defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi as the act of "hooligans." But as more video footage and news of peaceful daytime rallies and violent nighttime clashes break out through the restrictions placed upon the foreign media in Iran (most of it reaching the world anonymously through YouTube and Twitter), the contours of the power struggle have been coming clearer.
Three days after the Revolutionary Guards of the Sahrallah base took control of security of the capital from the police, according to sources in Tehran, a large pro-reformist rally packed a central Tehran avenue on Wednesday.
In another sign of the scale of unrest, five players and the captain of Iran's national soccer team wore wristbands of green – the color of Mousavi's movement – during the first half of their World Cup qualifying match in South Korea. The BBC reported they were told to take them off.
The protests are turning into an outlet for the myriad frustrations of Iranians, beyond rejecting the election result. State news services reported that the Revolutionary Guards had acted against "deviant news sites" backed by the US, Britain, and Canada that were encouraging unrest.
Grainy footage showed protesters carrying a wounded comrade as they raced from a clash. Another scene show a young man with a bleeding arm, and others rushing to bandage him.
The magnitude of the protests have prompted Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei – who will reportedly give the sermon himself at this week's Friday prayers – to call for calm.

Even the most perfect job candidates are challenged when it comes to finding a job. What happens when you have a less than perfect work record? Should you try to camouflage the fact that you have a spotty work history? If youre thinking you can trick employers into not seeing the gaps, think again. The best way to address a spotty work history is to fix it going forward and address it.
Unemployed for long periods of time? Some recruiters may tell you to hide the gaps by not listing specific dates on your application. They suggest by simply listing the year, unemployment lapses of a few months may go undetected. Unfortunately, this is a trick that most seasoned hiring managers are fully aware of. Fortunately the unemployment rate has been so high for many years, it is not uncommon for job seekers to have gaps in their employment. If your resume shows large gaps between jobs over ten years back, however, its harder to explain that job hopping is not your normal pattern. If you were engaged in other activities such as volunteering or going to school, make sure you list the activities on your resume. Employers are less likely to find fault if you have been busy while unemployed and not merely sitting in front of the television on a computer looking for jobs.
What about job hopping? If the circumstances are beyond your control, youre safe. Company layoffs, downsizing and cut backs are acceptable reasons for frequently moving from job to job. Explaining job hopping can be kind of difficult if the reason is due to boredom or frequent terminations. During the interview, offer you were searching for a career that fit your skills and talents. How do you convince them that it will not happen again? First begin by complimenting the organization. Share that you have done extensive research on the company and position both are exactly what you have been searching for. Point out the similarities between your skills and what the company is looking for. If you dont think you can pull that off with sincerity, dont try. Sometimes you just need to tell the truth. Let them know you are now looking at a career instead of the jobs offered by the other companies.
Make no mistake, a spotty work history is difficult to explain and hard to hide from experienced recruiters. It is not, however, as impossible as it appears.

The impact of gender differences on determinants of job satisfaction among Chinese off-farm migrants in Jiangsu
This study examines the effect of own income versus reference group income and the subjective factors considered important in a job for a sample of off-farm migrants in China. We find that own income has a positive effect on job satisfaction while the effect of reference group income is gender specific. We find evidence that males experience a tunnelling effect (higher income co-workers increase their job satisfaction) while females experience a jealousy effect (higher income co-workers lower their job satisfaction). We explain this result in terms of men reacting more positively in competitive environments and that, in China, males have better prospects for promotion. We find that compared with employees in western countries, off-farm migrants in China place much more emphasis on income and less importance on collegiality and job stability.

sorry for this post but its the truth.
I did not know this
GMC go away
The fact that he's not playing 20 snaps is a good thing, not a bad thing. He sucks. He brings nothing to the table. Why do you want to see more of this circus? And furthermore, nobody ever guaranteed any 20 snaps a game, Rex just said it's possible that in a given game they could use him 20 times, 10 times, 5 times, 0 times, anything's possible. His point was they aren't going to give away the number of times he'll be used, it'll be opponent specific depending on the flow of the game. Seriously, anybody that thinks the reason why the Jets are struggling is because they aren't using enough of Tebow needs to have their head examined. We could only be so lucky that maybe the Jets will get rid of him after the year, or maybe another team would even be stupid enough to give up something to trade for him, but that's not very likely to happen unfortunately.
Wildcat will make its debut against the Pats.
God has a plan.
based on your recent posts it appears them bringing tebow in to sell tickets worked. also they said he can play between 2 and 20 snaps a game, they've kept their word.
I agree that he was signed to sell tickets and keep the Jets "relevant" in the news. Does that mean you have to play the guy more on top of it, even though he literally blows? Sanchez is probably finished too, and there will likely come a point in the season where the only thing that makes sense is to try McElroy out to see if he can be a capable starter in the league (which he may actually be, who knows). As far as Tebow though, I just don't understand why people are clammoring to see more of his **** show. The conventional offense is bad enough, do they have to go out of their way to make it worse with the Tebow nonsense? Enough is enough!
hey nike start another ponderous thread with trepidation.
great trepidation

Here's a pic of the Clarins holiday collection. Looks like a shimmer face powder, an eyeshadow palette, mascara, lipstick and perhaps a face highlighter cream. Clarins has been growing on me lately as it has good quality products that aren't gimmicky and the cheerful red packaging is an added plus. So I'd definitely be checking this out!

Launching a quick-serve concept is no walk in the park, and entrepreneurs just starting out in the restaurant field must have realistic expectations, says a top fast-casual executive.
Jeffrey Zurofsky, partner and founder, along with celebrity chef Tom Colicchio, of New York City–based sandwich chain 'wichcraft, said during a recent International Culinary Center entrepreneurship webinar that while "being your own boss" is appealing to many, becoming an entrepreneur is not suitable for everyone. He says it requires a high level of personal commitment, a great concept idea, leadership, organization, and passion.
"You get a lot of the autonomy that you're looking for by starting your own thing and getting out from working for someone else," he said during the webinar. "[However], you do lose some of your freedoms, because now you're responsible for the business, responsible for employees, responsible to your investors, responsible to your customers."
During the startup process, Zurofsky says, an entrepreneur must be persistent and personable. No matter how strong the concept is, he says, it will only go as far as the entrepreneur is willing to take it. Zurofsky spent months developing his concept and business plan before speaking with investors. Even with a design in hand, he found it was difficult to convince financial backers to take a risk on 'wichcraft.
Zurofsky says counseling and advice from industry veterans helped get his concept rolling. They offered him a fresh perspective, ways to improve upon his idea, and risk-taking strategies. "I recommend that everyone be open to that counsel; don't be defensive about it, don't dismiss it," he says.
Zurofsky also suggests launching a business with a partner because a partnership brings more opportunities, ideas, and enthusiasm to the table. A partnership also helps divide up some of the responsibilities, which helps with time management, he says.
"Great entrepreneurs know how to manage their energy and balance their energy, and also know how to create more energy," Zurofsky says. "If you're upbeat and you have a lot of energy and you're not stressed out and busy all of the time, you've got more time for your employees."
The real work begins once the first unit opens, Zurofsky says. With 'wichcraft, he and his team had to run the restaurant, understand it, and make it successful before raising additional capital. "After two or three months of working in the store, we were out raising capital to expand the business and to grow it into the business plan we had written," he says.
Moving through all of this work can be tough, Zurofsky says, which is why restaurant entrepreneurs must have "a real passion, a real core, an iron core to get you through [the obstacles]."
"Entrepreneurship is really about grinding it out everyday," Zurofsky says. "You sleep less, you obsess more, you wear many hats, you wake up everyday thinking nothing's perfect and everything needs to be fixed, you believe in the best and prepare for the worst, you risk everything."

That's a good question. You can find out more at www.google.com.

How do you decide on how much to sell equity for when raising capital?
Jordan replied on Permalink
James there are several factors that go into the decision and assessment. I am corporate transnational counsel for many restaurateurs (start-up and established, QSR fast casual and full service fine dining) and help clients assess the value of the investment offering. Some of the factors to take into account are; management experience, novelty of concept, projected rate of return on capital, amount of capital being raised. There are many more though.

The digital universe is a mirage. In the end it's all analog, and hence subject to corruption/erosion/deterioration/entropy over time. Even with the best error correction you'll get an uncorrectable failure at some point, even if it means waiting for the end of the universe ™ – .moar files are unlikely to have that extreme a level of protection, hence degrade more readily. |

I can almost never notice the difference in quality from compression, but some people really can. If you do it over and over again it's pretty much a certainty. It depends a lot on the specific file, like all lossy compression your mileage may vary. Sancdar edited this message on 10/22/2008 3:41AM |

The reason is simple: Your ****ty computer has a very small hard drive, so you burn all of your completed .moar files onto DVD. DVDs have limited lifespans, so file corruption sets in early. This means that while you are pwning fora, you have your chosen DVD in your drive, running that .exec, listening to that .tune, playing that .divy file and reading that .dtbs in the background. Bruce Bear just happens to sell a powerful DVD-cleaning tool that only works on part of the DVD you have, so you need to buy small amounts of that tool to clean the part of the DVD that the damaged file is contained on. He's very specific about such things, using a bunch of high tech tools to determine exactly where on the burned portion of your disc the file in question is. And that's how it's done. |

What Will Billy Beane Do at the Deadline?

The baseball trade deadline is rapidly approaching, Ladies and Gentlemen and it's time to see what types of moves the A's might make. Earlier in the year hopes were high that this article would be discussing trade possibilities for the A's to add the right pieces. Clearly Oakland is not in position to solidify their playoff push, as it looks like they will be sellers…again… Realis...

First Half Grades for the Oakland A's
Posted on 12 Jul 2011 by Josh Muller.
I usually like to save these little side notes until the end of the article, but there is something serious that I need to address. On Thursday, the A's played a game against the Texas Rangers in Arlington. During the game, Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton, tossed a ball into the stands to Shannon Stone, a fan, who fell 20 feet trying to reach for the ball. Stone, a firefighter, died from the i...

On June 8th, Arizona Diamondbacks announcer and former Chicago Cubs great Mark Grace became the latest member of the baseball community to be arrested and charged with DUI. Over the past year, this has become an all too familiar situation for the league. This year alone, Miguel Cabrera, Derek Lowe, Coco Crisp, Shin-Soo Choo, Austin Kearns and Adam Kennedy have been arrested for driving unde...

The A's Are Running Out Of Time
Posted on 6 Jun 2011 by Josh Muller.
It's not time to panic quite yet… but it's almost time to panic. The Oakland A's are six games under .500 and are seven games behind the first place Texas Rangers. Now, that might not seem as dire if the A's weren't sitting dead last in the American League West chasing three teams instead of one. But that's the reality of the situation and as currently constructed, this A's rost...

Internal Options for the A's on Offense
Posted on 17 May 2011 by Josh Muller.
On Monday we got some late night heroics as the A's came from behind to win in extra innings in the first of two against the Angels. A win like that against a division rival can really provide a spark for a team, but it doesn't take away from the Oakland's primary issue; the A's offense is pretty awful. You know it, I know it, the A's know it. As a team, Oakland has a slash line of .2...

A's Send Mazzaro to KC for DeJesus, Ink Top Dominican Prospect
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Patrick Ryan.
Like many had predicted, the A's dealt the most expendable of their young arms on Wednesday as they sent Vin Mazzaro to Kansas City, along with 2009 third-rounder Justin Marks, in exchange for long time Royals OF David DeJesus. While the departure of Mazzaro was certainly foreseeable, David DeJesus seemed to be garnering more interest from the Red Sox than the A's – at least in public. ...

Most people don't realize that Casanova was actually a real person who lived back in the 1700s. I have been reading his memoirs since I was sixteen and they are amazing. There's twelve volumes full of his witty dialogue and recollections of his life including lots of scandal and wonderful philosophical insights. One highlight in my opinion is his numerous affairs with nuns over the years…I strongly suggest reading them…in the mean time here are my two favorite quotes of his.
"Weather happy or unhappy life is the only treasure man possesses and he who does not cherish it is unworthy of it." Casanova
";for is love anything else then a kind of curiosity? I think not; and what makes me certain is that when the curiosity is satisfied the love disappears. Love, however, is the strongest kind of curiosity in existence." -Casanova

"XXX" with breasts instead of biceps? John Stockwell's "Blue Crush" has all the trappings of an energetic, extreme-sports adventure, but ends up more of a creaky "Pretty Woman" retread, with the emphasis on self-empowering schmaltz and big-wave surfing that gives pic its title an afterthought.
"XXX" with breasts instead of biceps? "The Fast and the Furious" with surfboards instead of muscle cars? John Stockwell's "Blue Crush" has all the trappings of an energetic, extreme-sports adventure, but ends up more of a creaky "Pretty Woman" retread, with the emphasis on self-empowering schmaltz and with the big-wave surfing that gives pic its title seemingly an afterthought. Given pic's novelty (it is not the first, but certainly the highest-profile movie with women surfers) and Universal's aggressive, youth-targeted marketing campaign, "Blue Crush" should enjoy some fast, if not furious late summer box office traffic, with a long and healthy video afterlife to follow.
In the grand tradition of sports and surf movies, "Blue Crush" traces the buildup to a big surfing contest — the Pipe Masters competition at the famous Pipeline break, located on Oahu's North Shore — in which our heroine, Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth), will compete. When pic opens, Pipe Masters is seven days away and Anne Marie, like all good sports-movie heroines, has several obstacles to overcome: In addition single-handedly raising her younger sister (Mika Boorem) in a ramshackle beach house, she's haunted by her near-drowning three years earlier at — you guessed it — Pipeline. When the surf isn't up, Anne Marie and her two roommates — Eden (Michelle Rodriguez) and Lena (Sanoe Lake) — work as maids in a posh Sunset Beach hotel. It's there that Anne Marie rather awkwardly meets-cutes with Matt (Matthew Davis), an NFL quarterback who offers to pay Anne Marie for surfing lessons, but who has his mind on much more than just surfing. The ensuing courtship between the poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks and the rich Prince Charming proves too cliche to grab aud interest. (There's even a scene where Anne Marie overhears several of the other players' girlfriends/wives making fun of her unpolished ways.) However, "Blue Crush" doesn't get pulled down into a watery grave by their romance largely because of the shrewd casting of newcomer Bosworth, who projects radiance, delicacy, uncertainty and inner strength. A major discovery, Bosworth keeps "Blue Crush" paddling out against its own turbulent whitewater. But the movie never quite reaches the lineup. In adapting Susan Orlean's article "Surf Girls of Maui," Stockwell and co-writer Lizzy Weiss skimp too much on local color in favor of timeworn Hollywood cliches and a measure of (literal) bathroom humor that might make Austin Powers blush. They also keep the always interesting Rodriguez saddled on the sidelines with a one-dimensional caricature of the "jealous best friend," culminating in a scene where Rodriguez, Mrs. Danvers-style, longingly watches an old surf video of Anne Marie in her prime. To Stockwell's credit, there are some satisfying moments, quiet observations about surf culture (calling to check the local wave report before you've even opened your eyes in the morning; sitting in the lineup, waiting, waiting, waiting for a wave to come along) that will ring true for novice and longtime surfers alike. And there's an undeniable sexiness to both the cast and the surf, that will no doubt inspire a new crop of moviegoers (and female moviegoers in particular) to get out there and pick up a board.Admittedly, "Blue Crush" isn't really after an exploration of surfing ethos in the way of Bruce Brown's early films or Zalman King's "In God's Hands." It's more concerned with breakneck-paced montage sequences scored to some of the two-dozen pop ballads that comprise pic's soundtrack. But pic's grave disappointment is that its surf footage doesn't truly wow us. Stockwell gets us inside waves all right, but he overly manipulates the footage –cutting between a dizzying array of angles, speeding things up and slowing things down — only occasionally pausing to capture that ethereal ballet of surfer and wave moving in tandem.Blue Crush

The time and money that I've spent in training has value. The specific skills I have as a result of that time and money are significant, and useful to many people. I'm happy to use my skills to help people - it has intrinsic reward. However, the current climate requires that I do so 10 hours a day, plus nights, plus weekends, always with a smile, every 15 minutes, and job satisfaction has mostly gone the way of the dodo.
4 years of college. 4 years of medical school. 3 years of residency training. 3 years of cardiology fellowship training (gastroenterology, the example from the article, is also a 3 year fellowship). College & med school leave most of us with >$200k of debt. Residency and fellowship pay essentially minimum wage when you account for the insane hours, all the while collecting interest on our college and med school debt. I didn't have kids until I was in my late 30's because we didn't think it was fair to raise them without seeing their father.
We all have this same conversation when discussing the issue of money in medicine. In the beginning, there was a binary relationship - patient, doctor. The doctor provided services, the patient provided cash. These facts haven't changed, except now the care provided is better, the patient spends much more, the doctor gets paid much less, and everyone else in the system siphons away the money without the hours or the liability we incur.
In any event, you're not paying for 15 minutes of colonoscopy time, you're paying for the 14 years of training necessary for the doctor to do the colonoscopy.
Not to mention the cost of the colonoscope and its upkeep, the techs, the sedatives and management of their associated risks, the endoscopy suite constructed and maintained to restrictive code standards, cleaning of the endoscopy suite between each case, archiving and storage of the images, time to interpret and create a report from the colonoscopy, conversations with the patient, the patient's family, the patient's primary physician, time lost from providing other services (office and hospital visits - people are always clamoring for more availability), the enormous billing apparatus, a significant cut to the insurance company, maintenance of certification & credentialing (which requires many hours a year away from the office in a hotel conference room watching Powerpoint slides, at great expense), etc.
What's it worth to you?
BTW, have you ever played an instrument. 2 hours solid on a guitar would leave your fingers shredded, 4 hours you wont feel them for a week (by solid I mean practically no breaks, playing hard for 55 minutes an hour). I have a lot of respect for people who can do this.
I was a music major in college, and 6-8 hours a day on your instrument, between practicing and rehearsing, wasn't particularly out of the ordinary. Not sure where the destructive guitar meme comes from, but for anyone who plays regularly, finger shredding just isn't an issue. If I remember correctly, Bruce Springsteen just did a 4 hour show, and I'm pretty sure there were no finger-related hospitalizations necessary afterwards.
I recently had to make a similar change - from being in training to becoming one of two cardiologists running a private office, which means I'm responsible for employees.
Making technical decisions is the easy part - managing people is the hard part. You're simply treated differently when you have the ability to make decisions that can change people's livelihood and lives. The best resources I found on this were "Getting to Yes" and "Getting Past No," both touchy-feely pop-style books, but both with semi-useful information in them.
Friends gave me management books, like "The Essential Drucker" and a subscription to the Harvard Business Review - I found all this stuff to be almost useless. I've found that if I spend a few minutes every once in a while checking in with people, and trying to listen to the answers, that things work out well.
good luck...
Sorry to re-post - all the carriage returns were stripped. I forgot to add HTML. It reads better with some whitespace.
I'm going to try to to untangle some if the above...
Some guy somewhere once said that you need to drink 8 glasses of water a day to maintain health. Turns out to be nonsense. For those of us with intact thirst centers in the brain (pretty much everyone reading this, for example), drinking when you are thirsty is all you need. Your body will tell you when you need more liquid by using the thirst mechanism. There are exceptions, as there is a lag before thirst is triggered, so on a hot day when you're exercising aggressively, you can get "dehydrated" and not get thirsty in time to do anything about it, but this is rare, and recent evidence tells us that hydrating aggressively, even in marathons, is overkill.
The jumble of hyponatremia, hypernatremia, hypertonic, hypotonic, hypovolemia, hypervolemia, isotonia, etc is maybe worth clearing up, although this will be interesting to precisely nobody. Some of the concepts are almost right.
"hyper" = too much, "hypo" = too little, "iso" = equal.
"volume" is the quantity of fluid (any fluid, technically) in the system.
"natr*" = sodium in the system.
"-emia" = in the blood.
"tonia" = concentration.
So, hypovolemia = low volume of fluid in the blood (hypo, vol, emia) Isotonia = equal concentration (in the medical context, meaning concentrations of a solute equivalent to those found naturally in blood). If you drink excessive fluids over an extended time, you overwhelm the kidneys' ability to maintain normal sodium concentrations in the blood, and you end up with hyponatremia. Drinking excessive fluids is usually called "psychogenic polydipsia," which is med-speak for drinking too much water because your brain is bad. The hyponatremia is potentially fatal, and often causes confusion, among other symptoms. Note that it does not cause (at least immediately) hypovolemia - the quantity of fluid in the system is adequate or high, it's the composition of that fluid that's troublesome.
In this case, one could say that the composition of the blood is hypotonic - there are fewer solutes (particularly sodium) in the blood than normal. This is treated by limiting fluids (reducing solvent, and allowing the kidneys to recover and restore balance), &/or by increasing sodium intake. Pepperoni pizza is a great solution (not kidding - my favorite nephrology professor used to prescribe exactly that). Hypertonic saline is reserved for emergencies. The blood is usually about 0.9% sodium, so a 3x concentrated version of that - typically 3% saline - can be given parenterally (via IV [intravenous], for those of us scoring at home). This is a dangerous treatment, as the brain is susceptible to dangerous/fatal swelling if hyponatremia is corrected too quickly ("cerebropontine myelinolysis," if I remember correctly - I'm a cardiologist, and I haven't thought about this stuff in a long time).
Not drinking enough fluid results in hypovolemia (commonly called "dehydration"). Usually the sodium levels in the blood measure high ("hypernatremia"), although it's not due to too much solute - it's due to too little solvent. The treatment is to replete fluids (volume), either with a a straw and some water, or with IV hydration. Usually 1/2 NS (saline that's hypotonic compared to normal blood, in this case 0.45%) or even normal (isotonic, 0.9%) saline.
The rest of the parent's post is mostly on target. Sorry for pedantry.

And that seems to be my story regarding FT5ZM, and I'm sticking to it. Last night, I heard them well and couldn't work them. Tonight, I've gone back to not being able to hear them. According to the DXCluster, they are active on 14.023 MHz. They might as well be on the other side of Jupiter, for all that I can hear. I'm not hearing any activity on 30 Meters, either.
Ironically, tomorrow is their last full day of activity before going QRT. And tomorrow is the day my KXPA100 kit is due to arrive from Elecraft. What a coincidence, eh?
I am fairly confident that if I had 100 Watts last night, I would have been able to break through the pileup. There's no way that I can be 100% certain of that, but you can't be in this hobby for 35 years without building up an innate sense of these things.
No use crying over spilled milk. Keep your ears open on the bands every day this coming week, QRPers. Next weekend is the big ARRL DX Contest, CW portion. I am already hearing some familiar calls in some familiar places as folks set up and gear up for the big event. Working these stations as they get ready, and then working the contest itself is a great way to earn yourself a QRP DXCC Certificate.
72 de Larry W2LJ
QRP - When you care to send the very least!
Addendum: I went back to the basement to find that FT5ZM came up nicely on 20 Meters. I heard them work my buddy, Bob W3BBO, and fellow blogger and QRPer, Chris KQ2RP. Still no joy for W2LJ, though. I guess tomorrow night will be my last shot, if they're even on the air at that point.

I have friends and know instructors who can explain the mechanics/body dynamics of any movement of any kata they know, and demonstrate it without rehearsal, actually without even thinking about it. Walking through a kata, they can demonstrate the applications and meanings of the movements, and multiple variations depending on changing circumstances. And they can show the relationship of any movement to other movements in that kata and other kata of their curriculum.
Please take a minute to re-read the above paragraph.
Basically, I am saying that I know people who are fluent in their kata. Their kata is not just a hollow imitation or show -- it is a content rich expression of their understanding of Karate.
To me, that is one of the ideals of Karate training.

August 29th 2009 wedding
Photography & Post Processing - Katherine Massier
Comissioned Work
I love shooting weddings, they are probably one of my favorite paid photography jobs. When I was young I would often daydream of that perfect fairytale like wedding, I would watch movies and read wedding magazines. I'm pretty sure every young girl has been guilty of this.}
When shooting a wedding I like to capture it in a more creative approach rather than the more comon basic approach most wedding photographers take, probably because the like to play it safe rather than take a risk at being more creative and I cant blame them, it could make or break your career as a wedding photographer because not everyone will share your personal taste.
For me personal taste is vital to my work, I wont do something I personally wont like, I retouch to suit my visual needs not someone elses needs.
I like to make a wedding looks like every little girls dream, that perfect fairytalesque wedding.

Pa -Pi / Po - Pz
Polish Prince, The - Nickname given to popular Polish-American singer Bobby Vinton who had a number of hits in the 1960s including "Roses Are Red, My Dear," "Blue on Blue" and "Mr. Lonely." He hosted the Toronto produced musical variety series THE BOBBY VINTON SHOW/SYN/1975-78. His song "My Melody of Love" was adopted by his Polish fans as their official anthem. See also - WORDS OF WISDOM: "There's an old Polish proverb..." Pony Boy See - "Soda Pop" Pookie Poo - Childhood nickname of Florida Evans (Esther Rolle), a struggling black mother of three who lived in Apartment 17-C in Chicago's Cabrini Housing Project on the sitcom GOOD TIMES/CBS/1974-79. Poopsie - Pet name of Dobie Gillis, a girl-crazy teenager on the sitcom THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS/CBS/1959-63. Poopsie was the name given to Dobie by his female friend, Zelda Gilroy (Sheila James), a plain-looking egghead who was determined to marry Dobie in the future. Her unwanted attention often made Dobie cry "Now, cut that out!" Their roles were revived in 1977 pilot episode What Ever Happened To Dobie Gillis? and in the 1988 made-for-TV movie Bring Me The Head of Dobie Gillis. Porky - Childhood nickname of Sylvester "Porky" Brockway (Donald Keeler), a plump youngster living in the farm community of Calverton, near Capital City on the family drama JEFF'S COLLIE/CBS/1954-57. Porky shared a friendship with youngster Jeff Miller (Tommy Rettig) who owned a dog named Lassie. Porky was also the college nickname of lawyer Alonzo Sparks (James Avery) on the sitcom SPARKS/UPN/1996-97. When Alonzo attended law school, he had difficulty standing up in class and talking to his intimidating law professor. He earned the nickname of Porky (after Porky Pig) because he stuttered and stammered. Portia - What portly, aging barrister Horace Rumpole (Leo McKern) calls colleague Phillida Trent Erskine-Brown (Patricia Hodge) on episodes of the British legal drama THE RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY/THA/1977-1992. Portia is a female character in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice," who dresses in legal garments and masquerades as a male Doctor of Law named Balthazar and pleads for clemency for Antonio, the "Merchant of Venice." In the play another character, Shylock was suing for a pound of Antonio's flesh, which was collateral for a loan. In defense of her client Portia's speaks the now famous quotation "The quality of mercy is not strained..." Postcard Girl, The - Marilyn Toomey and later Rita Hayes were the beautiful assistants on the quiz show WIN WITH A WINNER/NBC/1958 hosted by Sandy Becker/Win Elliot. Known as "The Postcard Girls" their job included pulling postcards from a large drum. Each week at the end of the show, the names of next weeks contestants were disclosed to the audience. Viewers (hoping to split the winnings) were urged to send their predictions on postcard as to whom they thought would be the "Big Money" winner. Potato Man, The - Frank William Tucker (David Proval) was a homeless Vietnam veteran known as Frank the Potato Man, who wandered around the town of Rome, Wisconsin carrying a five-pound bag of Idaho potatoes on the drama PICKET FENCES/CBS/1992-95. Originally vagrancy laws, which prohibited sleeping on public property, forced the Potato Man out of town but on a later episode he returned in the cold of winter to seek shelter. He didn't like the noise of the nearby cities of Madison or Green Bay and preferred the quiet of the small town of Rome. Unfortunately, the town did not have accommodations for the homeless and Mayor Rachel Harris (Leigh Taylor-Young) refused to build one for such a "micro-minority." Fortunately, a compassionate police officer Deputy Maxine Stewart (Lauren Holly) and the local lawyer Douglas Wambaugh (Fyvush Finkel) pleaded his case to Judge Henry Bone (Ray Walston) who ruled that the town must build a shelter for him. Unfortunately, the good news arrived too late for the Potato Man who was found frozen to death in a cave on the outskirts of town. The medical examiner placed his time of death at 11:04 from probable hypothermia. The Potato Man's heart was defrosted and donated to a needy patient with a back ticker. The town of Rome had other eccentrics including K. C. McDonald (Jessica Tuck) a.k.a. "The Snake Lady" who collected snakes and carried a boa snake around with her; a bizarre town criminal called "The Serial Bather" who broke into people's home and took a bath while the property owners were gone; Louise Talbot (Natalija Nogulich), the town's transsexual schoolteacher (formerly known as Walter Souder); The Frogman (Michael Jeters) a man named Peter LeBeck who dressed in a frog costume to protest killing of frogs in biology class (singing the "Be a Frog" song); and a town clergyman with a fetish for women's shoes. See also - "The Log Lady" Potsie - Childhood nickname of Warren Weber (Anson Williams), a Milwaukee teenager on the sitcom HAPPY DAYS/ABC/1974-84. Warren was dubbed "Potsie" when his mother noticed he liked to make things out of clay. Power Rangers See - "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" Prairie Blossom See - "Bunny" Prince - Childhood nickname a.k.a. "Fresh Prince" given to actor Will Smith by his grade-school teachers because he acted so smooth and had the ability to charm his way out of trouble. Born Willard Christopher Smith, Jr. on September 25, 1968 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Will Smith starred on the sitcom THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR/NBC/1990-96. He played an inner-city black teenager also named Will Smith whose mother feared that he would fall into the wrong crowd, and so she decided to send her son from Philadelphia to live with his wealthy married aunt in Bel Air, California. Smith grew up in middle class section of West Philadelphia. Before his gig on TV, Will and his friend Jeff Townes began performing together as DJ.

Mohammad Al; Men in Black II (2002); Bad Boys II (2003); I, Robot (2004); Hitch (2005); Pursuit of Happiness (2006); I Am Legend (2007) and Hancock (2008). Prince of Late Night Television, The - When comedian and game show host Johnny Carson took over the reigns of THE TONIGHT SHOW from Jack Paar on October 2, 1962, he remarked on the air "Jack Paar was the King of late-night television. Why don't you just consider me the "Prince"? Johnny relinquished his desk (to Jay Leno) on May 22, 1992 after thirty years at the throne. His last show was a national event and featured guest Bette Midler who intimately sang a comic love song to Johnny Carson as a final expression of her admiration, an admiration mirrored by millions of his faithful viewers. See also - "The King of the Late Night Television" Prince of Menace, The - The sinister nickname given to actor Vincent Price for his roles in such horror film classics as the 3-D thriller House of Wax (1953), The Fly (1958) House on Haunted Hill (1958) and a number of Edgar Allen Poe inspired films The House of Usher (1960), The Pit and the Pendulum (1961); The Raven (1963), and The Masque of the Red Death (1964). In 1957, Vincent Price appeared on the quiz show $64,000 QUESTION where he showcased his considerable knowledge of art. Some of his memorable TV performances included the villainous Egghead on the fantasy BATMAN/ABC/1966-68; his regular role on the children's program THE HILARIOUS HOUSE OF FRIGHTENSTEIN/SYN/1975; the mysterious Jason who escorted passengers through time on the fantasy series TIME EXPRESS/CBS/1979; and the sophisticated host of the PBS anthology MYSTERY! from 1982-89 that featured mystery stories (made mostly in England). Vincent Price died in 1993. Prince of Pain, The - The showbiz sobriquet of Richard Lewis, the black clad comedian (fond of running his hands through his hair) whose standup routine focused on tales of his personal anxieties and neuroses. He also starred in the sitcom ANYTHING BUT LOVE/ABC/1989-92 as Marty Gold, a neurotic investigative magazine reporter. Prince of Puckers, The - Richard Dawson, host of the quiz game show FAMILY FEUD/ABC/1976-85 was famous for his habit of kissing all of the lady contestants on the show, hence the nickname "The Prince of Puckers." Some people, who didn't feel it was very appropriate for him to be sucking face with the contestants, wrote letters of disapproval. In an attempt to resolve the problem Dawson asked for a write-in-vote to finally answer the question "to kiss" or "not to kiss" on the show. As he explained on-the-air "I'm a toucher. It's how we expressed affection in my own family, and it just comes naturally to me. My mother always said, you can't ever hate anyone your on kissing terms with." When the votes were tallied, the verdict was overwhelmingly in his favor: 14,600 to 704. Richard Dawson won an Emmy Award for Best Game Show Emcee in 1978. See also - "The Most Kissed Man in America" Princess of Perpetual Blondeness, The See - SEX, LOVE & NAUGHTY BITS: "Voluptua" Psycho Dad - On the sitcom MARRIED...WITH CHILDREN/FOX/1987-97 frustrated shoe salesman Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill) had little to be happy about in life. His only solace were his nudie magazines, the local nudie bar and his favorite TV show "Psycho Dad" (played by Andrew Prine). He especially enjoyed the show's rousing themes song which began "Who's that riding into the sun/Who's the man with the itchy gun/Who's the man who kills for fun!/...Psycho Dad!" When Al's favorite show was scheduled for cancellation, he contacted a US Senator to intervene. During the investigation Senator Furman queried Al saying "Is it not true that the lyrics to the 'Psycho Dad' theme song read 'Killed his wife 'cause she weighed a ton'?" Frantic, Al cried "But in Psycho Dad's defense, when he married her, she wasn't fat, your bigness." Sadly, Psycho Dad was canceled. When Al's nemesis Marcy Darcy (Amanda Bearce) heard the news she chanted a parody of the show's theme song: "Who's the guy who's show is done?/Who's TV hero's on the run?/Who'll be watching VH1?/Loser Al, Loser Al, Loser Al." Dejected, poor Al Bundy retreated to the beautiful babes at the nudie bar and his fellow colleagues from NO MA'AM (National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood). For the feminine viewers there was the spin off series "Psycho Mom" whose theme songs lyrics read: "Who's the gal who needs no man?/Killed him dead with the frying pan./Did it 'cause he missed the can./Psycho Mom, Psycho Mom, she's Psy-cho Mom!" [From "Teacher's Pets" episode] Puce Goose - CB handle/radio call sign adopted by Los Angeles police detective Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) on the police drama STARSKY AND HUTCH/ABC/1975-79. His partner, Ken Hutchinson (David Soul) used the CB name "Blond Blintz." Their police mobile radio code was ZEBRA-3. They drove around in a red and white 1974 Ford Torino. Puddin' Head - The nickname of Army Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) on the military comedy M*A*S*H/CBS/1972-83. He was dubbed "Puddin' Head" by his wife Mildred Potter who lived stateside while Sherman ran a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital near the front lines of the Korean War. Pumpkin - Through the years, the term "Pumpkin" has been a popular term of endearment used by many script writers when referring to TV characters, especially by a father towards his daughter. On the sitcom MARRIED WITH CHILDREN/FOX/1987-97 shoe salesmen Al Bundy (Ed O'Neill) used this affectionate nickname for his teenager Kelly Bundy (Christina Applegate). Since Kelly was not the brightest girl around, this vegetable nickname suited her quite well. Once Kelly's frustrated dad said "Pumpkin, when Daddy goes to the chair, would you sit on my lap one last time?" Kelly responded "I'd be honored." Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) on the sitcom FRIENDS/NBC/1994-2004 was also called Pumpkin by her father. On the occult drama MEDIUM/NBC/2005+ Allison Dubois (Patricia Arquette) can communicate with the dead. She affectionately calls her daughters Pumpkin. See also - "The Dumbest Girl in America" Punky See - CATCHPHRASES: "That's Punky Power!" Puppy - The childhood nickname of actress Jennifer Garner, the star of the spy drama ALIAS/ABC/2001-2006. On an installment of the NBC late night talk show THE TONIGHT SHOW with JAY LENO (aired 12/13/2002) Jennifer revealed her family nickname was "Puppy." When Jay asked why she was called Puppy, Jennifer replied because she was "kinda of a tail-waggin' kid." Joking, Leno asked "Did they keep you in a kennel." Amused, Garner replied "No, but they made me wear a collar"; that her "nose used to run a lot" and now that she is older she has a "lot more to wag." The entire conversation about "Puppy" began when Jennifer mentioned that at Christmas time while handing out presents, she wears a Santa hat that sports the name "Santa Pup."

Goalie fingered for "murder", Sneijder's staying put…
Sneijder – doesn't fancy Manchester
Wesley Sneijder probably won't thank The Spoiler for the headline – no one really likes their name featured in a bold sentence about murder. And to make this clear, the only thing that links the two stories is that they're both featured in today's press.
As far as anyone knows, Wesley Sneijder hasn't even knowingly murdered an ant. There is no link. Put it out of your mind. Is it out of your mind now? Good. Let's all just move on.
Anyway, about that alleged murder. According to reports from the BBC, Bruno Fernandes – Flamengo's goalie - has been linked with the disappearance of a lady called Eliza Samudio, amidst growing whispers that she was first abducted, and then murdered.
It's obviously causing quite a stir in sunny Brazil, with Fernandes insisting that he had nothing to do with it. He said this during a radio appearance earlier in the week:
"In the future I'll be able to laugh at all this."
As for Wesley Sneijder, according to today's Daily Mail, he has raised a finger to the growing maelstrom of speculation about whether or not he'll be packing his tiny little suitcases and moving to Manchester – where the skies are as bright and vivid as a crow's overcoat - by insisting that he's already found his dream home:
"I am staying. I will play for Inter Milan next season."
"My heart is in Milan.
In other less important news, everyone seems to fancy a crack at buying Shaun Wright-Phillips on the cheap. And, by "everyone", The Spoiler obviously means Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool.
Whilst in easily-digested two/three-word stories:
Barcelona, screwed.
Clichy, Juventus.
Ferguson, Forlan, text.
That is all.

Have we had a more musical U.S. president in recent time than Bill Clinton? I'd think not, given the fact a big part of his campaign featured him wailing away on his saxophone. As such, the folks at Yahoo! News probably couldn't have picked a better candidate (no pun) for their "presidential playlist." They asked Clinton to list his 20 favorite songs, most of which, as expected, fall into the realm of jazz.
This means you get tunes like Miles Davis' "My Funny Valentine," Nina Simone's "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to be Free," and John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman's "My One And Only Love." Outside of the jazziness, Clinton seems to favor more mellow tunes such as Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," Sarah McLachlan's "Angel," and Willie Nelson's "A Song for You." Can't imagine Bill didn't light up to that last track.
Head to Yahoo! News for streams of each song. Watch a live performance of "A Song for You" and view Clinton's playlist below. Photo by Justin Ruckman. [The Daily Swarm]

Griffin Survivor Core. Number of products included: 1 pc(s)
See-through protection. Extra tough at the corners.We set out to give you and your iPhone a stylish and modern-looking see-through case that also protects your iPhone if you drop it... even on hard pavement.To crystal-clear polycarbonate we added tough, resilient TPE rubber edges. We gave it extra at the corners, to give your iPhone impact protection where it needs it most. The result: Survivor Core.How do we know how protective Survivor Core is?We designed Survivor Core according to standards set by the U.S. Department of Defense (MIL-STD-810G) for Shock/Drop and Vibration. The standard defines testing that is designed to measure the ability to protect against a drop onto hard pavement, and from the kind of bone-shaking vibration, deadly to electronics, that it might be subjected to if you left it on the floor of your car all day while you negotiate under-construction roads at top speed.Then we went to an independent testing agency. They performed tests based on these military standards: they repeatedly dropped an iPhone wearing a Survivor Core case onto a concrete floor from a height of 6 feet. They subjected it to 18 hours of vibration, from 20 to 20000 cycles per second.Survivor Core performed. Beautifully.Will your iPhone in a Survivor Core case ever have to withstand the conditions in these military-grade tests? Probably not. But, if Survivor performs this well in our tests, imagine your peace of mind every time you have to take a phone call in a parking lot.Features- Crystal-clear polycarbonate shell protects the back of your iPhone- Tough TPE rubber at edges and corners absorbs impacts- Port for back camera- Edges molded for secure grip- Open ports for easy access to connectors and controls- Rubber button covers protect without limiting functionality- Streamlined shape fits easily in your pocket or purse- Designed to withstand a drop to a concrete floor from a height of 6 ft (higher than you will probably ever drop it from while standing)- Engineered to protect against 18 hrs of bone-shaking vibration, from 20 to 2000 cycles per second (imagine leaving your iPhone on the floor of your car while you drive all day on the roughest roads)
