Drug-resistant 'flesh-eating' MRSA bacteria hits MSM in san francisco and boston

|drug-resistant 'flesh-eating' MRSA bacteria hits MSM in san francisco and boston
|By News Editor
|A new, highly drug-resistant strain of the "flesh-eating" MRSA bacteria – which is known to thrive mainly in hospitals – is now being spread among gay men in San Francisco and Boston, researchers reported on Monday.
|Sexually active gay men in San Francisco were 13 times as likely to contract methicillin- resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, than their heterosexual counterparts, said researchers at the University of California at San Francisco.
Based on a review of over 300 patients' medical records from nine hospitals in San Francisco and two outpatient clinics in San Francisco and Boston, and through chemical analyses, it is also found that the bacteria is spreading among the gay communities of San Francisco and Boston.
Researchers have found that the new strain of bacteria called USA300 is growing resistant – or unresponsive – to three or even four classes of widely used antibiotics.
The study – published online in the Annals of Internal Medicine – warned that the new strain which seems to have "spread rapidly" in gay populations in San Francisco and Boston, "has the potential for rapid, nationwide dissemination" among gay men.
The bacteria, which typically produces boils that can grow to the size of tennis balls, can lead to sepsis (blood poisoning) or a deadly flesh eating form of pneumonia that devours the lungs in severe cases.
Researchers estimate that about 30 percent of all people carry ordinary staph chronically and most of those who do carry it in their noses or may manifests as an abscess or cellulitis in the buttocks, genitals and anal area.
Staph infections often look like raised red dots on the skin. Left untreated, the areas can swell and fill with pus.
"Once this reaches the general population, it will be truly unstoppable," said Binh Diep, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco who led the study. "That's why we're trying to spread the message of prevention."
And prevention could just be as simple as soap and water.
"Taking a shower after sexual contact may minimise contamination," says Dr Chip Chambers, co-author of the study and director of infectious diseases at San Francisco General.
"Ordinary soap will do. It dilutes the concentration of bacteria. You don't need antibacterial soap."
Previously, MRSA infections have been documented in sports teams, prison populations, gym-goers and the community at large.
In December last year, a infectious disease expert in Hong Kong warned that visiting massage parlours or having facials may increase one's chances of contracting MRSA.
Even though the Department of Health conceded that there was insufficient scientific evidence to show a link between infections and massage parlours, the warning came after a finding that 10 percent of patients infected with MRSA in 2007 had visited massage parlours within 12 months of the onset of symptoms.
According to the health department, the number of reported community- associated cases jumped from 32 in 2006 to 175 in 2007, with two deaths.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that in 2005 some 94,000 people in the US became infected with MRSA, of which some 19,000 succumbed to it.

You will notice that Fresno, CA is the only city within the entire nation to react to the mrsa panic by increasing medical benefits for various departments, now working on ways to increase benefits for ALL city employees. They have a secret – spreading of deadly bacteria including pathogens from mrsa, behind felony altering of the city sewer and water systems, verified by witnesses and their own records. KNOWINGLY leaving a trail of illness, asthma, infections, amputation, death – refusing to even test the soil, as the risk analyst says, "Not my job." But lying about the cause of DELIBERATE and INTENTIONAL exposure to infectious, disease-carrying raw sewage is?!? Followed by altered records to cover up the evidence?
If anyone has contracted mrsa in Fresno, CA, there is enough evidence of fraud, blatant negligence and cover-up, which will surely result in massive lawsuits.

Russian, I'm saying, but versions of these are found all over eastern Europe. Until the advent of baking soda and baking powder, all baked goods were raised with yeast. Native North Americans raised their cornbreads with alkaline wood ashes, as yeast would do nothing with their gluten-free corn. European settlers created more refined versions and since then it seems most pancakes are raised with baking powder or soda.
Yeast-raised pancakes are fairly different. They are light and fluffy, but with the solid substance of bread. Mom thought these were a bit like French toast, and I can see that. The three of us ate all of them, but we didn't have anything else with them, other than butter, syrup and jam. I think they would do better alongside other breakfast items, so I am suggesting smaller portions. This would be an easy recipe to cut in half if you didn't want so many.
I found they needed to be cooked at a slightly lower temperature than I usually cook pancakes, crepes and eggs, because they were so thick. Keep the pan well oiled, and don't crowd them. Strangely, we thought these were much better with jam than with maple syrup; perhaps because of being more like bread than the pancakes we are used to. Apart from the time needed to allow them to rise, these are no more difficult to make than any other pancake, and if you like a really thick fluffy pancake these are well worth trying.
4 to 6 servings; 18 to 24 pancakes
20 minutes prep time plus 1 hour to overnight rise
10 minutes prep time plus 1 hour rise
20 minutes cooking time
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry active yeast
2 1/2 cups unbleached hard or all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
mild vegetable oil to cook
Warm the milk with the sugar and salt; it is easiest to do this in the microwave but do it in a series of short times, as the milk will curdle if it gets too warm. It should just feel comfortably warm to your finger. Stir it each time, before you determine its temperature.
When it is warm, sprinkle the yeast over it, and let it sit and work for 10 to 15 minutes.
Have the flour sitting in a mixing bowl, and stir in the milk and yeast mixture until it is a smooth batter.
If you are leaving it to rise overnight, cover it at this point and leave it in a spot at cool room temperature. Beat in the melted – but not hot – butter, and the eggs in the morning.
If you are starting them in the morning, beat in the melted – but not hot – butter, and the eggs. Cover and let rise until double in size; about 1 hour in a slightly warm spot.
You want to get the butter and eggs mixed in thoroughly, but do not over-do it, as you do not want to undo all the work of the yeast. Once the butter and eggs are mixed into the batter, cover the bowl again and let it rise until doubled once more, in a slightly warm spot.
Pour enough oil into a large, heavy skillet to cover the bottom thoroughly to a couple of millimetres deep. Heat the oven to 200°F and put an oven-proof dish in it to receive the finished pancakes. Heat the skillet over medium heat until it is hot, then drop in the batter by spoonfuls to make fairly small pancakes. Dip the spoon into a glass of warm water between each pancake, to keep the batter from sticking to the spoon.

Earlier today I went and downloaded Windows 10 #1803 spring update. I was watchful after reading Tim's warning about the DAX system. However, as usual, NO PROBLEM AT ALL. I first went and got rid of all things Flex on the computer and then downloaded Windows 10 #1803 update. All went as it should have and I then reloaded the very latest software for the 6500. It went as one would expect it to. Everything worked right away and all CAT info was there right along with the DAX system and its drivers. By the way, this is the first time I have every gotten rid of the Flex software prior to a Windows update. As I said, Tim scared me.
Good job guys. I have yet to have a problem with the dual core Dell computer, Windows 10 and updates and the Flex software. I have been using Windows 10 since it first appeared. It and the 6500 like one another.
Bob, N0IS
I have a question: Tim mentioned removing all the versions of SmartSDR. Did you use the normal Windows uninstall or did you use Tim's special instructions of removing the software? Tim was not clear on that aspect.
Jim, K6QE
Now if propagation would just improve.
Hi Mike,
Fail to understand your thought concerning Win 10. It has been operating here since it became available and operates with my 6500 just fine. Have YET to have a problem with it and the Flex stuff. Did not have problems with Win 7 either.
Bob, N0IS
In parallel I run 2 other notebooks with Windows 10 pro 64bit and try all
updates and programs on them also.
What I normally find is, that the security restrictions of 10 cause most problems.
I run all my PC's as administrator and - if problems arise - tick all security options
for the offending folder and give all users full access to them. This almost always
solve the problems.
In my net runs a Linux PC as a firewall between my router and the other 8 PC's and
notebooks of my net.
The 1803 update started to download last night. I did as Tim suggested and deleted SDR and the DAX drivers and then let the update install (it failed twice to install for some reason before success). I then reinstalled SDR. All working fine so far (fingers crossed) and a review Device Manager showed the same DAX installation. The only hiccup was with DDUtil which gave a failed to connect error message for skimmer, but that was an easy fix as it has happened with prior upgrades.

This was one of the Fifa matches, I'm glad I did watch. The match gave valuable insights to life.
|People watching the match on big screen at Museumplein, Amsterdam
When the going gets tough the tough get going
Life also keeps on piling problems at us. If we let the problems affect us, then we start losing hope. We have to remember at such times that victory wouldn't be so much sought if it was very easy. tough times help us prove our mettle, don't let them discourage you.
You can't be sure of the outcome till the end of the game.
The game can change course in the last two minutes, never quit trying till after the last second. Most of the times, we quit just before the game was going to turn on our side.
The winners win because they don't breakdown or give up. Remember, winners aren't born, they are made. Every life is a making of a winner, some follow through, some quit.
Get up and follow your dreams, happiness is awaiting you at the next turn.

Brussel Sprouts are one of my "food baes". They have such a unique flavor, but not only that– I'm also fascinated by their appearance. They're like mini balls of cabbage– well they are literally mini balls of cabbage– sprouts are in the cabbage family. But they also just look like mini balls of some shrunken vegetable that surely had to be bigger at one point because of they density and layers, and were likely harvested in a ginormous form on some other planet…okay, I'm getting carried away. They are also another versatile veggie and versatility is key for anyone cooking on a budget. Here, I spruced up my spouts a bit using some sauce and spice.
What You'll Need:
- 2 cups brussel sprouts, sliced in half
- 1 cup of Trader Joe's kale, cashew and basil vegan pesto
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
What to Do:
- Heat a skillet on medium heat with 2 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Once oil is hot, add brussel sprouts (be careful of oil splatter!) and pan-fry for approximately 8-9 minutes or until the sprouts get a crispy coating on the outer layer.*
- Reduce heat and add pesto sauce.
- Stir and cover all sprouts in sauce and let simmer for about a minute.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- Transfer sprouts to serving dish and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Bon appetit!
* Sprouts are one of the few items that I think actually taste better the more crispy or burnt they are! Try leaving them in for an even longer time– the flavor is enhanced with the crispy texture and coating (in my opinion).

55th APS President (1982-1983)
Walter Clark Randall
From his birthplace and boyhood home in the farming community of Akeley, Pennsylvania, Randall studied at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana, able to go to school during the Depression only because of financial sacrifices on the part of his parents and sisters and by virtue of the honor scholarships he received. Graduating in 1938, he enrolled for further study at Purdue University, where he received his Ph.D. degree in physiology in 1942. The following year he was a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Carl J. Wiggers at Western Reserve University; Wiggers then recommended him for appointment as instructor in Alrick Hertzman's Department of Physiology at St. Louis University, and by 1949 he was an associate professor. Five years later (1954) he moved to Chicago as professor and chairman of the Department of Physiology in the Stritch School of Medicine of Loyola University. He held these positions until 1975, when he relinquished the chairmanship to continue essentially full-time research.
In 1962 Randall was a visiting scientist at the National Spinal Nerve Injuries Center in Aylesbury, England, and in 1965 he held a similar position at the National Spinal Injuries Center at the VA Hospital in Long Beach, California. During the summer of 1970 he was visiting professor of physiology at the University of Washington in Seattle. Taylor University designated him Alumnus of the Year in 1963, and since 1968 he has served that university in various capacities, most recently as a member of its Board of Trustees (1971-). He received the Stritch Medal from Loyola in 1971, was elected an honorary fellow of the American College of Cardiology in 1977, and was given the Carl J. Wiggers Award by the Circulation Group of APS in 1979.
Randall has been active both in national and in local and regional societies and programs. The latter include particularly the Chicago Heart Association and the Illinois section of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine (president, 1959-60). He is a fellow of AAAS. For three years he was a member of the Board of Governors of AIBS (1976-79). For AHA he served on the Scientific Council, the Basic Sciences Council, and the Research Review Committee (1969-75). Elected to membership in APS in 1943, he has long been active in the Temperature Regulation Group (chairman, 1957) and the Circulation Group (chairman, 1963). He was chosen for Council in 1976-80 and as president elect in 1981. He served on the Education Committee from 1963-1970 and later became the first chairman of the Committee on Career Opportunities in Physiology (1979-82), concerned with evaluation of training programs and providing attractive job opportunities for young physiologists. Most recently (1984-) he has been chairman of the Society's Long-Range Planning Committee.
For seven years (1968-74) Randall was a coeditor of the circulation section of the Society's journals. He had earlier (1964-68) served in a similar capacity for Circulation Research. He served the National Board of Medical Examiners on the Physiology Test Committee (1964-68; chairman, 1968) and also was a member of the Advisory Committee for the Medical College Aptitude Test of AAMC. Beginning in 1963 he has been a member of various committees for NIH, including the Heart Program Project Committee (1963-67), a Special Project Committee of the Heart and Lung Institute (1968-72), an ad hoc committee on myocardial infarction (1969-72), an ad hoc committee on electrical excitability of the heart (1971-72), and the Physiological Sciences Advisory Committee of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (1968).
Of his decision to become a physiologist, Randall wrote that it came about simply because the teaching assistantship he needed to take up graduate study happened to be in that discipline.
"At Purdue, I studied under a comparative physiologist, William A. Hiestand, trained at the University of Wisconsin. I was one of his three graduate students. He and I became interested in temperature regulation of birds and constructed small climate chambers that would accommodate different sizes and shapes of the many different species available to us. I exposed hundreds of hens and chicks to hot environments, and recorded respiratory rate and depth, blood pressure and heart rates, deep and surface temperatures, and behavioral reactions and thus published the first scientific paper of its kind (1). Because of my comparative interests, similar experiments were carried out on many avian species, as well as on virtually all orders of reptiles. Plethysmographs were constructed from long pieces of pipes to accommodate garter snakes, rattlers, or Florida blue snakes, or of a metal coffee can to accommodate a turtle. Different gas mixtures were administered with crude localization of chemoreceptors in upper respiratory passages. My dissertation research led to a paper on factors that influence body temperature of birds (2). Commercial chicken farmers noticed our early publications, and I was especially thrilled when an Australian farmer wrote that my paper allowed him to save his flock from heat exhaustion."
"Hiestand was an avid journal reader and inculcated the habit in all his graduate students. I treasure my journal library today and feel privileged to be able to pass it along to my son, David, also a physiologist. I graduated from four years in Hiestand's laboratory with nine publications, including three in the American Journal of Physiology."
"With Ph.D. credentials in comparative physiology, I applied in 1942 for a postdoctoral fellowship with Carl J. Wiggers, and in his laboratory I began a lifetime interest in cardiovascular physiology. At Western Reserve I encountered a veritable beehive of research on hemorrhagic shock. His faculty consisted of A. Sidney Harris, Harold Green, Paul Quigley, and Harold Wiggers, all destined eventually to head departments of their own. Green tutored me in elementary physics, while Harris showed me how his magic little wick electrodes operated to pick up epicardial action potentials, and we collaborated in a project on mechanisms underlying electrocardiographic changes associated with anoxia in the canine heart (3). There was a steady stream of visitors and former fellows—Gordon Moe, Louis Katz, Rene Wegria, Jane Sands Robb, Donald Gregg, Samuel Middleton, and dozens of others—with an equally outstanding group of younger students and fellows, including Robert Alexander, David Opdyke, Matthew Levy, Robert Berne, and Ewald Selkurt. We have enjoyed an esprit de corps that defies both time and advancing technology."
"I was surprised when Wiggers informed me that Alrick Hertzman at St. Louis University wished to recruit a young cardiovascular physiologist for his faculty. The job paid $2,500 a year and would mean that I could be married and begin my own research program. Within a few days I was involved in the intricacies of the photoelectric plethysmograph with which I studied control of cutaneous blood flow (4). A short time later I stumbled onto a method for counting active sweat glands in a specified skin surface area. Iodine had slopped onto my palms (from use in the Miner test for sweating), and while chatting with a colleague I leaned my hands on a sheet of bond paper lying on the desk. On removing my hand I noted a clear palm print consisting of discrete lines of tiny black spots outlining the ridges along my finger pads and palmar surfaces. Each little black spot was an active sweat pore (5)."
Asked about his favorite publications, Randall replied:
"They are all favorites, and I recall anecdotes and incidents relating to each."
"I collaborated with W. F. Alexander, an exceptional neuroanatomist and surgeon, with J. W. Cox, my first Ph.D. student (later, Surgeon General of the U.S. Navy), and with Hertzman to write a paper requested by Wiggers for publication in the first issue of the new journal Circulation Research (6). This led to studies of the distribution of autonomic nerves carrying sweating and cutaneous vasomotor fibers to the upper extremities in humans via electrical stimulation of sympathetic rami of the T1-T2 spinal nerves in surgical patients (7)."
"At Loyola my research on nervous control of the heart provided immediate and exciting results (8). The cardiac nerves had long been known as accelerator nerves, but no one had explained their strongly augmentor action on cardiac contractility, much less their dromotropic influence. Initially we set up optical methods for recording cardiovascular pressure pulses, but we soon adopted electronic transducer and bridge techniques for multiple and simultaneous cardiovascular tracings. Robert Rushmer at the University of Washington was also describing cardiac control experiments similar to mine at APS meetings, and soon Stanley Sarnoff joined the fun to make it a three-ring circus. The years 1956-75 were extremely productive of quality research (12)."
"During the period I organized, edited, and contributed chapters to two books that brought together leaders in research on cardiac innervation (11, 13). The first of these volumes suggested literally hundreds of questions that needed to be answered experimentally, many of which were, in fact, answered when the second book appeared in 1977. A third volume published in 1984 (15) again updated our understanding of this same control system."
Randall never completely relinquished his interest in control of body temperature and, particularly, of sweating. Of the many papers that came from this research, two summary articles may be cited: one on control of sweating (9) and the other on central and peripheral factors in "dynamic" thermoregulation (10).
Simultaneously with his research programs, Randall developed what he has called "aggressive" teaching, in collaboration with Clarence N. Peiss, who accompanied him from St. Louis to Loyola. At the time of their move (1954) many schools were seeking to improve their teaching. Randall wrote:
"Some were introducing teaching machines; some were dropping "wet" laboratories entirely; others were applying concepts of control systems and emphasizing computers rather than animal studies. Problem solving became the magic word. With technical assistance from Robert McCook, a graduate student, we purchased our first Grass model 5 recorder for the student laboratory. With it students obtained records often far better than those in textbooks. Gradually we accumulated Grass recorders for each table of four students and probably were the first department in the world to perform all student laboratory experiments with commercially available electronic recorders. Shortly after, the Hoff-Geddes physiographs were marketed."
As president of APS, Randall was obliged to give more than the usual attention to legislation threatening use of laboratory animals. His past president's address (14) outlined in some detail how operations for coronary artery bypass, as one example, were developed only after generations of investigators had laid a sound foundation in experiments on laboratory animals. He concluded with a judgement that perhaps ninety percent of what is known in modern medicine has developed as a result of fundamental research, most of it in laboratories utilizing animal experiments.
In "retirement," Randall continues his research at Loyola, although he also has an offer of a place at Taylor University when he decides finally to leave his medical school laboratory. He closed his account of his activities by writing, "I anxiously and enthusiastically look forward to each day in the laboratory. I think the Lord still has much for me to do, and I anticipate continuing to be about His business."

Too bad it's just shy of our budget of $6000 per person, per ticket…
I mean, $7,064 per person, per ticket?

First venture into Brisbane's Northside
Ingenia Lifestyle has commenced construction of our new residential development in Burpengary East, the company's first venture into the competitive north Brisbane market.
The new community – Freshwater by Ingenia Lifestyle – will span across five hectares and deliver 131 new homes for downsizers.
Ingenia Regional Development Manager Matt Fedrick said Freshwater was an exciting new project for Ingenia and allowed them to introduce its unique offering to the north Brisbane downsizing market with an attractive, competitive price point.
"Construction has commenced on the first stage of homes, as well as a five-home display village with our first residents expected to move in by early 2020," Mr Fedrick said.
The resort-style community will feature a clubhouse, which is anticipated to include a gym, heated pool, library, lawn bowling green, cinema, visiting physician consulting rooms, an alfresco barbecue area and a sports bar.
Mr Fedrick said demand from buyers had already been strong with local community engagement, providing an opportunity for local downsizers to hear and make comments on the development plans for Freshwater.
The Freshwater community will be the first of Ingenia Lifestyle's Star Collection projects in Queensland – a collection of contemporary, resort-style communities.
Freshwater will be one of three Star Collection Ingenia communities across the South East Coast of Australia offering an affordable luxury lifestyle and home to over 50s.
Ingenia Lifestyle's Freshwater community is in an attractive location for over 50s looking to downsize with shopping centres, medical services, Freshwater National Park, Brisbane City and the Sunshine Coast all easily accessible.

When a friend is entering her first triathlon, you go and support. As much as I wanted to sleep in and not wake up at the crack of dawn, I decided to go… for her and for me.
- I could get used to waking up really early – for me
- I could go and support my friend – for her
I woke up around 3am and headed to South Bay to carpool. I took a mini nap on the way since PCH was starting to get some traffic. I packed the camo chair that I used at Tyler's soccer games and brought a backpack with snacks, water, clothes and things to keep me busy. What I forgot was my damn external charger. Actually, I brought it in my purse but not in my backpack as we trekked down to the beach.
As I watched the sun come up and the people walk by with gears and outfits, I had a moment. All this emotion filled up and I was so proud of my friend. I almost teared up thinking about the achievement that she was going to accomplish in a few hours and how amazing all these people were to want to do something great for themselves.
I almost had a moment where I thought I would want to participate next year, but who knows. Maybe if I attend another triathlon next year, near this time, to bring the same emotions that were felt at the Nautica Malibu Triathlon.
I was happy for my friend. I was not happy THAT I MISSED HER RUNNING PAST ME, SO CLOSE TO THE FINISH LINE, because I was looking for her and the moment she was coming, another Asian girl was a few feet in front with a shit ton of makeup that it distracted me!!!!! I was so mad I didn't get a shot, but I was so happy that I was there to see her when she finished.
The amount of strength, passion and drive that she has is incomparable to anything I have done for myself in my lifetime. Watching her accomplish this has made me reevaluate my life and my actions. I am not even close to being a 1/4 of who she is and she inspires me to work on myself constantly and be a better person… for me, and nobody else.
If you need some pick me up in your life, I suggest that you volunteer at an event like this or surround yourself with friends like this. Terry, I'm so proud of you and so honored to have you as my friend! xxooxoxo

Epic Cheesy Sheet Pan Steak Nachos make the perfect fun weeknight dinner or game day appetizer!
The Ultimate Cheesy Sheet Pan Steak Nachos with layers of cheese, steak, veggies and a drizzle of cilantro lime crema. These epic nachos make the perfect fun weeknight dinner or game day appetizer!
As you know by now I'm a sports fanatic and football lover. We spend most of the day on Sunday camped out watching the football games that are on. I grew up that way. Sunday was first church then football. And honestly, we still do that now. Cason loves it!
Did I tell you that Cason now has his own fantasy football team too! It's seriously the cutest. Sunday morning we have to remind him, "hey buddy we need to set your lineup." Although truth be told, he's the one reminding us. After we get back from church he sits on the couch with Mike, ipad in hand (which is where he can see his lineup) watching the games and seeing how "his players" are doing. I absolutely love it! He did the same thing when the world cup was on.
Most days we try to eat healthy for game day. I'll make my baked garlic parmesan chicken wings, a big pot of chili or my buffalo chicken quinoa bowls. But sometimes we just gotta cave and indulge on that game day food. After all, what is life without a cheat day. Right?
These nachos are BIG, BOLD, CHEESY and totally the epitome of game day food!
I mean, these nachos literally have layers upon layers of deliciousness! When you pull one chip away and it's followed by a string of melted cheese you know it's gonna be good.
So, what are the layers to create these Ultimate Nachos?
- The first layer is tin foil. Although it's not food, it's equally as important as food because it saves you on the cleanup side of things. You're welcome. Make sure to spray it with cooking spray so your nachos don't stick to the pan.
- Now we start the good stuff. Chips. You can make your own if you're an over achiever, but I just bought my favorite brand. (Central Market Red Quinoa & Flaxseed Tortilla Chips, they are the bomb)
- A thin layer of cheese. This is important because it binds your toppings to the chips.
- Your favorite toppings. I did black beans, corn, red onions and of course steak. After all, these ARE steak nachos!
- Next comes ANOTHER LAYER of cheese. Load it on this time. This is the cover to seal in all that deliciousness.
- The FINAL layer goes on after the nachos come out of the oven. I like to top mine with a fresh pico or tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro and this time I made a quick cilantro lime crema (which took the place of sour cream) Make sure you have everything ready and chopped so that as soon as the nachos are done you can garnish them and devour them. You want that cheese nice and gooey when you eat it!
It's all about the layers and these layers are going to blow your mind! Trust me! I've made these steak nachos two times in 3 weeks, which for me is a lot because I'm always making new recipes.
I'm obsessed and so are my boys. We've had them as a fun change up for dinner or you can make them as an appetizer for your next game day party.
Let's just say you can't go wrong with steak, melted cheese and avocado!
You're gonna love it. Trust me!
Bon Appetit friends!

Ricky Ubeda with Brand Ambassador Lexi Babadelis
Shaping Sound Dances into Tampa!
Shaping Sound is a contemporary dance company created by Emmy©-nominated choreographers Travis Wall, Nick Lazzarini, Teddy Forance, and Kyle Robinson. Featuring jazz, modern and hip-hop choreography, these life long friends have created a wildly successful company that has been showcased on some of America's popular primetime dance, awards, entertainment and music shows including: "So You Think You Can Dance," "Dancing With The Stars," "Glee," "American Idol," "The Voice" and "The 2013 Prime-time Emmy Awards" to name a few. They have also toured internationally with an impressive array of the world's top recording artists, and with award-winning dance companies.
As the show begin a story line was set into place. Shaping Sound has a brilliant way, with minimal props, of bringing you into a scene. The story follows the life cycle of relationships, good and bad. We won't give too much away though but you are taken on a journey. The musical sequences go from big band jazz numbers to slower contemporary style dance. Seeing the dancers you watch on tv come alive was simply amazing. The turns and jete´s were absolutely mesmerizing, at times it seemed as if they would touch the ceiling. The stage presence and artistry behind the movements brings the viewer through a variety of emotions. New addition to the cast Ricky Ubeda, winner of So You Think You Can Dance Season 11, was one of our highlights. Ricky, being a Florida native has always been a little favorite of ours here at DWC. Ricky was enchanting, every leap, jump and turn was met with that award winning smile we all remember.
This year they set out on a 28 city tour across Canada and the United States, stopping last night in Tampa, Florida. Filling the Straz Center for Performing Arts, dancers from all around the Florida area were in attendance along with members of our Dancewear Corner Marketing team and our Brand Ambassador, Lexi Babadelis. After the show we were given the thrill of a lifetime with an intimate meet and greet with the cast and crew. Even with as much success as these talented dancers have had combined with a long few months of travel and dance, they continued to greet people with such enthusiasm. Signing autographs and spending time with all their fans truly shows how much this cast appreciates the dancers and patrons at each show.
We highly recommend if Shaping Sound is in your area to go see this one of a kind show. Please visit their site to view their upcoming performance schedule and get more information about this wonderfully talented group.

Post pics of Sarona or GT-R body kits on an 07 please?
Looking for some feedback from someone who has recently purchased and installed a kit on an 07-08. Ive seen some older threads floating around but the only reputable kits I can find still being produced are the Sarona kits. A lot of the sites I've seen for the Duraflex GT-R kits say (OVERSTOCK) so I'm not sure what's going on with that.
This eBay GT-R kit looks decent and from a reputable seller, but there are not even any photos of the rear bumper. I thought there was a forum member that was selling the GT-R kits at one point but I could not find anything.
If anyone can give me some recent feedback and photos from a kit that was purchased and installed within the last couple years would be great. I like the GT-R kit more, but I'm considering the Sarona because of their reputation for fit and the hit or miss quality of Duraflex.

It's fall and that means that Starbucks' Anniversary Blend is out. This is one of my favorite coffees from Starbucks. I look forward to it every year and usually buy three bags of the stuff to last me for a few months. This year's batch was recommended to me by my favorite barista as being exceptionally good. Here's what is says about the taste on Starbucks.com:
Region: Asia/Pacific
Tasting Notes: Smooth and spicy with a butter and caramel finish
Flavor Intensity: Extra bold
Unfortunately, I don't agree. I like that Starbucks is a burnt roast coffee. I like the syrupy taste this gives their coffees. In this coffee, however, that's all there is. It's smooth, yes. I don't notice any extra spiciness that you wouldn't find in a normal Sumatra. I certainly didn't notice a butter and caramel finish. It's a one-note coffee, but it's a very good one-note. I can't recommend this coffee for its subtlety of taste. Honestly, I think you would be better served just buying the regular Sumatra.
Tomorrow: Ever 17, The Beginning
Next week: A seasonal coffee beverage worth cheering about.

Nowadays, pets live a longer and healthier live than before due to a wide range of vaccines safeguarding them from numerous fatal diseases and infections. Vaccines have saved the lives of millions of pets over the years. They effectively improve the immune system of your pets enabling them to fight diseases.
Pet vaccination programs have a high success rate that significantly reduces the animal death figures. It is strongly recommended to undertake your pets for periodic physical examination and vaccination after birth to keep them protected.
Pet Vaccination
There are numerous vaccines available for dogs and cats. Some are core vaccines that are crucial for the pets whereas some are optional prescribed as per the vulnerability to the diseases. Vaccine recommendation depends on the age, food habits and surroundings of the pets. Our veterinarians hold extensive knowledge about veterinary vaccines aiming to keep your pets healthy. They are dedicated to reducing risk of infectious disease and promoting overall healthy lifestyle.
What Vaccine to Administer at What Time?
Your veterinarian can guide you about what vaccine the pet requires during first few weeks of the birth. Pets are undertaken for numerous health check-up programs to diagnose the possible symptoms of disease.
Our experienced vets, after analyzing the pet, administer the vaccination program. They consider various factors prior any vaccination. Your pet's health is the key priority of our vets.
Vaccination for Dogs
- Core Vaccines: DHPP, Rabies, Distemper, Para Influenza, Hepatitis & Parvovirus
- Non-Core Vaccines: Bordotella, Lyme Disease Vaccine and Leptospira Vaccines
Vaccination for Cats
- Core Vaccines: Rabies, FVRCP
- Non Core Vaccines: Felv, Chlamydia, FIP
- Get your Kittens examined for existence of any viral diseases prior to vaccination.
- Two vaccine doses are advisable for cats of 16 weeks of age with difference of 3-4 weeks. The final vaccine dosage is given after completing 1 year.
We, at Northpoint Vet, organize vaccination programs for every type of pet. We help you maintain a vaccine chart that keep you updated about what vaccine the pet requires at what age. Our veterinarians bestow healthy and happy life to pets by administering vital pet vaccines on time.

In 1 John 4, we read, 'God is love', and as a result we are told, 'Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God'.
We have a Heavenly Father who is love, and the love we have in us comes from him. Indeed, it is our desire to love which makes the current same-sex marriage debate so problematic.
Here's where things stand for many of us:
We regret that the postal vote question wasn't framed the other way around (e.g. 'Are you in favour of keeping the current definition of marriage as between a man and a woman?'), because no one likes to be 'No' people, and the question paints conservatives as people who only say 'No'.
Yet we know that the Bible is clear that marriage is between a man and a woman. Most Christians are happy to accept this for ourselves. But what about for others?
For many Christians, a 'No' vote for others seems intuitively right. We also want to vote 'No' to protect ourselves, because a 'Yes' outcome will impact significantly on freedom of religion, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, and the education of children about marriage and gender.
But some Christians are asking: is it loving towards people who identify as LGBTI for us to vote 'No'? This becomes pointed if we personally know people like this. We don't want to hurt them. Same-sex relationships won't go away. If their love is genuine, then a 'No' vote feels unloving, and we wonder if a loving response would be to vote 'Yes'.
So, we need to talk about love. Here are a few thoughts:
1. Every human being is made in the image of God. That means that each one of us is capable of love, and will love. But every human is also fallen, and therefore deficient in our understanding of how to love. We need God's guidance, because history (including fathering!) is littered with examples of attempts to love which seemed right, but were ultimately misguided.
2. All of us, including Christians, have a responsibility in our society to say what we think is best for others. In fact, this is the whole assumption behind the postal vote. Others benefit by Christians saying what we think is right for society. Indeed, Jesus said, 'You are the salt of the earth' (salt preserves something from rotting).
3. Jesus said that marriage is between a man and a woman. He took us back to creation, and said that the creational pattern still applied in a world distorted by sin (Matthew 19:1-10). The implication in arguing from creation is that the Creator's pattern applies not just for believers, but for everyone. It's okay to vote 'No' because what we are being asked to say 'Yes' to isn't what marriage is, nor what it was ever intended to be.
4. The issue being voted on is bigger than any personal friendship with our LGBTI friends. The main concern of Christians is for all people to be able to turn to God. But if Australia adopts same-sex marriage, then it will make repentance harder for married LGBTI people, especially when children become involved. Non-Christians won't 'get' this. This is the main reason why I think a 'Yes' vote is ultimately unloving to LGBTI people.
5. Our vote should be guided by our love for God as much as our love for people. These things are not separate. A 'No' vote can be loving, and Jesus' friendship with sinners means that we can vote 'No', but still say 'Yes' to our ongoing love and friendship with our LGBTI friends.

I am trying to get my new website to look like this basic mockup http://www.wellnesswarriorcoaching.c...andingpage.jpg
When I style my website in Dreamweaver, it looks perfect but when I upload to my ftp site, the white border shows on the left and right of the upper and lower boxes but it does not show on the top or bottom of both boxes. I've added margins to the top and bottom but it doesn't seem to be working and I can't figure out where I've gone wrong. Also, I've styled my links to have an orange colour but they show up blue in both Safari and Firefox (I'm on a Mac). I cannot figure out why the colour will not show either.
Here is a link to the live working site http://wellnesswarriorcoaching.com/ to show the missing white borders (top and bottom for both boxes) and the wrong coloured link text. As you can see when comparing the jpg mockup and the live site, things just don't look the same.
Thanks for any help!

Break free from personal debt

Yesterday when I was reading the Business News from Inquirer.Net I came across to this post regarding on " How to break free from Personal Debt " as follows :
Last updated 08:47am (Mla time) 11/14/2006
DEBT is one of those things in life that can be seen as good or bad. It's good when it's used to invest or purchase things that give a higher return than the cost of borrowing (interest). It can be seen in a bad light when it becomes so big and monstrous that you can't seem to handle it anymore.
The truth is, you have control over the amount of debt you get into. If your debts seem enormous and daunting, try these tips to manage your debt and get out of that rut:
Who among us does not have any debt nor had debt before? I don't think there is. Well if we are going to check it out. It is really our problem and not anybody's problem if you are buried with debt. Sometimes we tend to be rich where in fact we are not. Below is an excerpt of their suggestion.
1. Keep control of your cash flow and plan ahead.
2. Avoid making short-term debt a long-term habit.
3. Protect your credit history.
4. Use debt constructively.
5. Evaluate whether you need to go into debt or use cash.
6. Ask if you really need it.
7. Tighten your belt.
8. Grow your income.
All I pray now is that all my credit card debt will be paid with in this year.

Hijacking Emotion Is The Key To Engaging Your Audience. The default to emotion is part of the human condition.
To better appreciate the role of emotion and what it allows an audience to do, we need to take a brief detour into evolutionary biology. The human brain can be understood as three separate brains working in tandem, if not completely integrated with each other. The primitive brain and the limbic brain collectively make up the limbic system, which governs emotion. Within the limbic system, there is a structure called the amygdala, which leaders need to understand. When faced with a stimulus, the amygdala turns our emotions on. The amygdala is the key to understanding an audience's emotional response, and to connecting with an audience.

When you were a little kid, you probably got on your parents' nerves quite a few times by responding to everything they said with the word "Why?

" But if you asked your mom or dad about the following nine normal human behaviors, they genuinely wouldn't be able to answer you (and would probably make something up) because even the brightest minds in science still aren't sure why we do these things.

My cousin Bob's quality of not being easily daunted might be described as British, although the trait has served him just as well in everywhere from Israel to France, and began serving me well in London, 1969. By that autumn, Bob has already gotten me in and out of quite a number of cars, pubs, cinemas and so on. Now it was time to get me even more in the swim.
He was convinced I could swim, that was the thing. And being 22 years old, grateful for having survived a still fairly recent shooting and not wanting to be outdone in the nerve department, I said yes. The first thing I knew I was thrashing about the shallow end of the Porchester Baths near Marble Arch, Bob in attendance. And the next thing I knew I was shivering in the locker room of that Greater London Council facility…but never mind. The deed was done, the point made, and it was a proven fact. I was buoyant, more or less, despite my paralysis. And my neuromuscular repertoire had been significantly expanded. Back in the swim of things.
A straight aquatic line leads from then to now, staying with Jane in a Pacific beach hotel, with a pool. I have not had a swim in…can it be a year? No matter, except that somehow it has not just been a year, that is any year. But somehow the wrong year. The year I either grew substantially older or grew substantially more anxious about growing older.
For several years, as recently as the early 1990s, I rode an adult tricycle. A bungee cord strapped my right paralyzed foot onto one of the pedals, the other leg pedaling quite normally…and I enjoyed going about the environs of Menlo Park in this fashion. Even the paralyzed leg acquired a bit of extensor strength over the months and years. And in an effort to keep up with the frenzied athletic pace of my first wife, I even entered myself in the wheelchair division of the Humboldt Marathon footrace. The latter was actually a half marathon, but not to worry, even that exceeds 12 miles.
Anything to keep in neuromuscular shape, I always say. And even after the wife had decamped, I kept saying it. Even entering the race for what was to be my last time. Several friends helped me practice. And it was in the practice that everything important occurred. For I could tell that I was losing my nerve. After all, I had been sitting atop this tricycle for years, and there was nothing to worry about, so what was I suddenly afraid of? The feeling of losing my balance, not being able to hold up my torso, being clearly a bad case of nerves.
It is either to my credit, or to something distinctly opposite, that I did not let any of this stop me. Certainly, this is at least partly unfortunate. For I was having trouble with nerve. To be exact, the peripheral variety. My old neck injury was acting up, bone spurs clamping off nerves leading to, among other things, my right shoulder. It was the latter that was no longer holding up my torso. In short, I was truly lacking nerve. Literally. Metaphor imitating reality. One can have too much willpower.
In any case, here I am now in the hotel pool getting used to the swimming experience. I am surrounded by water, filtered, bromine-treated and ready to be ever so buoyant. Except that, as I say, it has been a year. The whole thing frightens me in ways that it never did before. Each day, Jane and I make a progressively longer swim. Still, I cannot quite believe that the shallow end really is shallow. Drowning here seems a real possibility, even in 3 1/2 feet of water. I am aware of how much more stiff my body feels. Which may account for the constant fear of falling forward, on my face, unable to right myself.
Still, it gets better and better. If there is a lesson here, it has to do with living in the moment. At least for this disabled person, the past is a poor guide. I can remember my early days of full employment, when regular exercise seemed even more important. Working as a science writer at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, I somehow went for a swim before work. That is to say, I parked my 1968 Plymouth Valiant outside a public swimming pool in San Francisco's Mission District, undressed and got in the water by approximately 6 AM.
I was not alone. Plenty of other physical fitness enthusiasts were there with me. I searched valiantly for the least crowded lane. A girlfriend who accompanied me on several of these early-morning swims recounted a conversation she had had with one of the young guys in the pool. His question being, more or less, was I drowning. Well, she explained, not really. And left it at that. My stroke, whatever one manages with a single leg and arm, resembled controlled drowning. The word itself, stroke, rippling its many meanings across the chlorinated water.
And rippling across time with this essential truth. It does not matter what kind of nerve you are losing. Be grateful that at least some time you can get it back.

Information concerning the students who enrolled in A.Y. 2017/18
If it is not your enrollment A.Y. go back to the home page
Degree course details
Brief description of the degree course
Characteristics and objectives
After completing the Bachelor in Geological Sciences, a student intending to follow the Master in Geology and Technical Geology is compelled to choose among many course options, due to the large spectrum of professional skills that characterize the Earth Sciences. In any case, the final goal is to allow the student to acquire, also through experimental, field and laboratory work, the cultural background and the capability of critical evaluation which are necessary to perform professional and research work in all fields of Geology.
The teaching plan includes detailed courses belonging to two main typologies:
1) common courses on fundamental aspects of the Earth Sciences; these courses are compulsory for all students;
2) a number of courses, specifically addressed to the field that each student intends to specialize in.
This Master degree allows to achieve advanced skills in mathematics and informatics applied to Geosciences, as well as the capability to address geological problems through a robust scientific approach; it warrants a thorough knowledge of the different processes in Earth Sciences; it provides the student with skills in defining geological problems and in proposing proper operational solutions.
Occupational opportunities
Once passed the Geologist Certification Examination ("Esame di Stato"), the MSc in Geology and Technical Geology may work as a freelance geologist, after enrolling in the Section A of the Professional Association of Geologists ("Albo Professionale dei Geologi"). Considering the skills acquired in either Technical Geology, Earth Resources, and general Geology, the MSc in Geology and Technical Geology may work as freelance geologist, both independent or in association with other professionals; as employee or manager in local or national agencies and private companies (e.g., Anas, Enel, Eni, Enea, Anpa, other agencies devoted to the conservation of cultural and archeological heritage, private exploration companies); in geological investigation companies, or in national or international engineering and mining companies; in public and private analytical laboratories in Italy and abroad.
This Master degree allows to specialize in one of the several interdisciplinary areas that characterize the Earth Sciences, and is also the prerequisite to enroll as PhD student and become a researcher or Professor at the University or in highly-qualified national or international research institutions.

text: She's had mostly a great few days. Yesterday, she met a friend "uptown" and they had lunch in a sit down restaurant, window-shopped and generally had a great time. Today, she repeated the process with her BFF and they even bought matching bracelets to wear the first day of school. Then, they met up with BFF's twin, another friend and the friend's older sister and they shopped a bit. Duckie and Bff went into the pharmacy I work at and bought drinks, then went into a dollar store nearby. The other girls came in shortly after them. And a group of boys also entered the store. Well, the older clerk, who has a reputation of being crotchety, acted liked the girls were trying to steal something. The twins called their mother who in turn called me. I called Duckie. She sounded like she was crying when she said that she didn't want this to ruin her good reputation. So I had the girls meet me back at the store and we talked to the clerk. Strange. She called the girls "sweetie" and acted very nice when I was there. She even apologized to Duckie and BFF. She tried to say that the other girls were the real problem. Then I pointed out that the girls were all together and she blushed. Admitted that the kids weren't stealing but that she didn't want to babysit them. I told her where I work and asked her to let me know if any of these girls were a problem and I'd either deal with it (with Duckie) or put her in contact with the other girls' mothers. I told her also that yelling at them and making them feel embarrassed for something they were not doing was not good for business. I also understand that kids do a lot of shoplifting but she needs to have her facts straight before publically accusing anyone.

Sheffield Running Club's Will Beauchamp fought off the challenge of Russell Maddams to successfully defend his title at Sunday's Southport Half Marathon. The race built on the foundations of last year's inaugural event with 900 runners finishing, nearly 50% up on 2013.
The course, modified from last year, started in Victoria Park before heading south along Coastal Road and the Promenade, under the pier and through Kings Gardens. Runners returned to Marine Drive and the pier once more, then left at Weld Road Roundabout to return for a finish in Victoria Park.
Beauchamp, who has been in impressive form throughout the year, finished in 1:13:03, with Maddams second in 1:13:46; Paul Sankey (1:14:02.) was third. The defending champion tweeted: "Race won, title defended, recovery with @nouriSh_me_now. Sometimes, things just work out well! #perfectweekend!"
In the women's competition, Kilbarchan's Gemma Rankin finished well ahead of the field in 1:19:07, with Vicky Bryant and Jenny Clague following. Alan Appleton was the mid-point runner in 1:58:07, while the last competitor came home in 3:06:08.

June 6, 2019 –The Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) has received initial approval from the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA), to recruit students for the College's fourth branch campus located in Monroe, Louisiana. In May 2018, the College received its initial license from the University of Louisiana, Board of Regents to establish the branch campus at the University of Louisiana Monroe (ULM).
The VCOM-Louisiana campus will be located in a beautiful setting along the Bayou DeSiard on the ULM campus. The 100,000 sq. ft. main VCOM campus facility is currently under construction on 10-acres and will be completed in late December. The College plans an opening date in August 2020.
VCOM-Louisiana has a collaborative public-private partnership with ULM which includes collaborations for shared faculty and resources in research and education and additional shared student resources for both VCOM and ULM students.
The partnership with ULM is modeled after the 18-year successful collaborative partnership between VCOM-Virginia and Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and the campus has graduated more than 2,200 physicians to date. Over the past five years, the College has had a successful collaborative partnership between VCOM-Auburn and Auburn University and has graduated their first class of 153 physicians in 2019. VCOM-Carolinas, located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, has graduated 771 physicians since 2015. With the addition of VCOM-Louisiana, the four-campus College becomes one of the largest medical schools in the United States, enrolling over 625 new students each year across the four campuses. The mission of the College is to provide physicians for the rural and medically underserved areas of the Appalachian and Delta regions of the southeastern United States.

After a long night, running into the morning, the EU27 and the UK agreed a further extension under Article 50.
In simple terms the agreement means:
- A Brexit extension, only as long as required, with a maximum extension of 31st October to allow for the ratification of the withdrawal agreement.
- If the UK does not leave the EU by 1st June it will be required to hold elections to the European Parliament.
- The European Council reiterates there can be no reopening of the withdrawal agreement negotiations.
After the summit European Council president Donald Tusk offered the following remarks:
"Tonight the European Council decided to grant the United Kingdom a flexible extension of the Article 50 period until the 31st of October. This means an additional 6 months for the UK. During this time, the course of action will be entirely in the UK's hands. It can still ratify the Withdrawal Agreement, in which case the extension will be terminated. It can also reconsider the whole Brexit strategy. That might lead to changes in the Political Declaration, but not in the Withdrawal Agreement. Until the end of this period, the UK will also have the possibility to revoke Article 50 and cancel Brexit altogether.
The UK will continue its sincere cooperation as a full member state with all its rights, and as a close friend and trusted ally in the future.
Let me finish with a message to our British friends: this extension is as flexible as I expected, and a little bit shorter than I expected, but it's still enough to find the best possible solution. Please do not waste this time."
The full decision of the European Council can be read below:
