Layering SystemShhhh.... this is our secret formula!
Our Organic mattresses are different from other mattresses. To begin with, they use only the finest quality locally-sourced natural and organic materials and each mattress is handcrafted by experienced artisan bed-makers using techniques honed over 30 years leading the industry. But they look different too—they are layered.
And they're layered for a reason. The purpose of a mattress is to provide you with an incredibly relaxing, restorative and, most importantly, comfortable night's rest. In order to achieve this, mattress makers use a variety of materials designed for different functions: support, softness, spine alignment, protection. Each function is unique and requires materials with different properties–and therefore, different care needs.
Other manufacturers combine all these functions into a single unit. This necessitates compromise– on comfort; on proper back, neck, and hip support; and on suitable care. With this type of mattress, either it needs to be flipped regularly, which is ungainly and difficult, or it can't be flipped at all, which leads to the mattress compressing, and deteriorating until it must be replaced.
Our Organic Mattresses are designed in layers, building each separate piece with the exact materials uniquely suited for its particular function: resilient and contouring organic latex for unparalleled support; soft and luxurious organic wool for supreme comfort; and American-grown long fiber organic cotton for superior durability. Each piece can be cared for separately, making your mattress a long-lasting investment in your good health and happiness.
Foundation Layer
Everything great starts with a good foundation. Our organic mattresses are no different. The proper frame is vital to the longevity and functionality of your new mattress. All mattresses, not just Soaring Heart mattresses, require air circulation to avoid mildew, mold, and compaction. Use frames with slats, tatami mats or other breathable frame that provide a solid base for your mattress while allowing proper air circulation.
Support Layer
- The support layer does the heavy lifting, cradling your body so that your neck, spine, and hips are held in proper alignment. We have a variety of supports: supple organic latex, and the unrivaled five-zoned organic latex. Each support is made with impeccable craftsmanship to insure you a supportive, comfortable night's rest for years to come.
- Our resilient supports only need to be flipped every 3-6 months and carry our 20 Year warranty.
Comfort Layer
The comfort layer envelops you in a cloud of softness. The mattress topper lifts and surrounds the body, forming to all your curves , and easing joint pain, releasing muscle strain and tension, and taking stress off of pressure points. Comfort is different for different people and we have a mattress topper for everyone, from supple yet firm latex to luxuriously thick New Zeland organic wool.
The soft fibers and airy latex used in our toppers require flipping every other week, or when you change your sheets.
Protection Layer
The organic wool mattress pad, the last layer of a Soaring Heart mattress, protects the mattress from you. The average person loses around a pint of moisture every night. Some of that moisture goes into the air through our breath, but the rest goes out through our skin—and into whatever we happen to be lying on. A natural or organic mattress pad absorbs and wicks away moisture, protecting your mattress.
This layer should be washed when you change your sheets for optimum protection

Penomet is the correct tool that will help you increase both the length and girth of your penis. This male enhancement device is equipped with power systems that effectively provide you with visible results just within a short amount of time.
It works by utilizing pressure between the inner part of the cylinder in which you put your penis as you exercise and the outer part of the device. The pressure produced will force a great quantity of blood to enter the spongy tissue.
The amount of blood that goes into the spongy tissue is a lot more than when you get a normal erection. The spongy tissue gets expanded and will develop small cracks where blood is kept. This chamber that is filled with blood is the responsible for repairing cell during the process of cell division. As the amount of blood in the chamber increases, you can also achieve an increase in the size of your penis.
Penomet is a scientifically proven male enhancement method. You can never go wrong when you decide on this option. This is guaranteed safe and effective approach in increasing the size of your member.
How It Works
Your body is truly wonderful as almost every cell in it can regenerate through the process of mitosis. Mitosis is the way that cells go through for them to split into 2 identical copies. This process takes place for different purposes including rebuilding the supply of your blood and regenerating torn or lost tissue. This process occurs continuously even if we are not aware of it. The scars on your skin or your muscles after your work out experience this process.
Mitosis takes place even when your penis gets erect. The soft tissue on your penis goes through the process that is why you can clearly observe the increase in its size when it is erect. However, as you reach your adulthood, your penis stops to grow. You may only experience a minimal improvement in the replication of the soft tissue in your penis.
The growth of the chambers of spongy tissue inside your penis stops as you grow older. Jelquing is considered one of the most effective ways to enlarge your member. This is done by squeezing your member according to developed and proven routines which put you back into the mode in which growth and enlargement still take place. This will help in filling the gaps with the cavities of spongy tissue.
However, the cells that comprise the spongy tissue, it is difficult to enlarge your penis over a short period of time. It will take time, dedication and the appropriate toolkit to achieve your goal. And the goal is to extend the ability of your penis to store more blood in every spongy tissue cavity. This can be done by promoting Mitosis through over expansion of the cavities repeatedly.
If you are one of the many men who have penis size problems, you can now enjoy more pleasurable sexual intercourse with your partner with the help of Penomet. This is a male enhancement device, which can be best described as a penis pump. When you use Penomet, you are able to trick your body to go back to the phase when it still grows, perhaps during your puberty stage.
Unique and Innovative Interchangeable Gaiter System
Aside from the best quality of materials used in the creation of Penomet, the competition gets tougher when it comes to the Gaiter System used with each product.
With the Gaiter System offered by the Penomet, engineers chose to make use of an interchangeable design to make it easy for men to make use of the pump whenever and wherever they want.
The interchangeable design offers 5 settings for the Gaiter system wherein every gaiter has different strengths.
This goes to show that you are able to get the function of 5 gaiter systems of 5 pumps in just one product.
While Penomet is giving men this easy feature, other penis pumps in the market such as the Bathmate product would only come in a single gaiter for one product. This only means that you have to purchase another pump that would have the next level of strength that you want. It is definitely a very inconvenient feature that any man would fail to endure especially when they are always in for the action.
What Makes Penomet More Reliable than Other Hydro Penis Pumps
Given that there are just many hydro penis pumps in the market, finding the right one will always make any men struggle with getting the one that is suitable for their needs. It is necessary that you will take much of your time with checking out all possible features that the product has to offer.
Furthermore, it is also necessary that you will check out the number of recognition that the product has achieved from award-giving bodies. Though not as prestigious as how you expect it to be, it is still best that you will get the product that is renowned in the market for its reliability.
Impressive features and outstanding awards and certificates are the things that you can expect from Penomet. The certificates and awards that the product has gained were based on the performances and also the quality of the product.
Furthermore, the product has also received a prize for winning in the category of the "Best Male Enhancement Product 2012". This only shows that the product made an exemplary performance in the market and has widely satisfied men from different parts of the world. Learn more at http://male-enhancement-report.com
With all the amazing engineered features, outstanding performance and irresistible offers for Penomet, other hydro penis pumps like Bathmate are sure to have no chance of beating the leading product for male enhancement devices. Learn more at http://anatomist.info/
Yes, there may be many companies who would try to compete with the satisfaction that Penomet is able to provide for all males out there, but there is nothing better with the quality that this product can offer to men. Checking out all its features will only give men many reasons on why they should get Penomet over other male enhancement products in the market.

Matt Groeninger over at disruptive–it.com wrote a very thought-provoking blog post about the Skype outage from a while back and how it demonstrates that sometimes you need to understand root cause in order to restore service in incidents in complex systems. I suggest you read his post, and I completely agree with his point (as I said in a comment there). However, it also got me thinking about ITIL, Incident Management, Problem Management, etc. Matt says:
the Skype outage demonstrates that some attempts to restore services will require communication/analysis from your problem management group.
There is a tendency among ITIL practitioners to take the functional descriptions in ITIL (Problem Management, Change Management, Incident Management, etc) and formalize them into organizational structure, and I see a little of that here. Root cause analysis is not some forbidden ritual that is the purview only of one particular team or role. So while I agree with his larger point that to resolve incidents you need to understand causes, I don't agree that this means you need to involve a problem management group in the incident. In fact….
Incident Management often requires analysis of cause
You may have an Incident Management team, but even if you don't, certainly someone is providing that function and they are responsible for restoring service when there is an incident. But in order to restore service, you often need to at least theorize about what is wrong before you can fix it. This is a standard part of any troubleshooting methodology. Take a simplified example of a single overloaded server. To fix this, you need to speculate on what could be causing it and do some investigation based on that speculation. For instance, maybe there's a hung process chewing up all the resources – to test that you do a
ps or
top and look for something using all the CPU. If that's not it, maybe the disks are overloaded so you do an
iostat and look at wait times. Maybe that's not it so you think it could be an external resource that's slow, so you look at connection pools. The point is that in any complex system the "restoration" role is going to involve the rapid creation, testing, and discarding of theories about cause. These theories may not necessarily be about root cause, but are certainly going to be about proximate cause and potentially a handful of contributing causes. In fact I would say that nearly all interesting problems cannot be solved without gaining at least some idea of their causes – and any that can should have the solution automated anyway so they no longer require bothering someone in the future.
Only SOME causes should be considered during restoration
What you should not do in any service restoration effort is do any investigation that won't directly help you solve the problem. As an example, during an incident you often find that some resource is not in the state it should be in – it is very tempting in those moments to ask "Why isn't this in the state it should be in?" and start looking into what changes happened when, who did them, etc. This temptation must be resisted to keep the focus on restoring the service, as the fix is likely to be simply putting the resource back in the state it should be in, without needing to know who did what when to get it in the bad state. The proper time to look into those particular causes is during Problem Management after the incident is past.
Successful Incident Management requires either smart tools or smart people (ideally you have both)
If you have a complex system that requires high availability, you cannot get by with ticket monkeys and runbooks. (Unfortunately, many people have tried…) You need a combination of smart, experienced, knowledgeable people and useful tools that can analyze and describe the systems involved. If you have great tools you can get by with people who have less knowledge and less experience. If you have great people, you can get by with fewer and/or crappier tools. Ideally however, you have both.
If you want great tools, the best way I know of to get them is to have your smartest, most experienced, most knowledgeable people be intimately involved in their creation. The tools will empower your Incident Management team, and your Problem Management team should have as one of its primary charters the continual evaluation and improvement of those tools.

This grower is sure of this plant identification.
A beautuful and small agave from Central Arizona, sometimes referred to as the Miniature Century plant. The leaves are light to dark green with striking white markings, and white filaments along the leaf margins. Cold hardy but should be kept fairly dry during the winter.
Mescal, Sisal
Agave genus (Mescal). This genus of some 136 species consists of rosette-forming, perennial succulents, which have sword-shaped, sharply toothed leaves. The smaller species will grow to 30cm high and flower only after 5-10 years. The taller species will grow to 5m high and may take 20-40 years to flower. Agave have lived on Earth for some 60 million years.
Most of the species have hard, blue-grey leaves that are half hardy, whilst the grey-green or green leaved species are usually frost tender, min 5C. Grow them in full sun with well drained soil. In their native habitat, Agave will survive hot deserts and dry, sunny mountain sides.
Agave tequilana is pulped and fermented, turning the sugars into alcohol, to create the Mexican drink Tequila. Agave sisalana, or sisal, is made from the leaf fibres of the plant. Uses include strong, sunlight resistant rugs and carpets, cords, sandals and baskets.

Birmingham, UK – March 12, 2015 – Calum J. Lambie, a writer from Birmingham, UK has gone on an incredible journey to find out more about his grandmother's history. He traveled to Bocholt, Germany and undertook thorough research in Great Britain to learn more about this extraordinary woman, Maria Theodore. Based on true events, he has written the novel The Life and Ties of Maria Theodore. Now Calum has turned to Kickstarter to raise £5,000 by April 7th, 2015 to help him finish and publish the book.
This remarkable tale takes readers on an amazing journey full of real life struggles, heartache, and anguish as one woman fights to survive. The novel is written largely from the perspective of Calum's grandmother, Maria Theodore. It includes many ofthe fascinating facts that he learned during his three year quest to find out more about this courageous woman as she escaped the clutches of Nazi's during World War II, after her parents passed away from starvation when she was only 18 years of age.
The Life and Times of Maria Theodore also features the two men Maria loved. Her first husband was captured as a prisoner of war in Russia and she thought she'd never see him again, her second was a British soldier. Maria left Germany and her first-bornchild to save herself by escaping to Great Britain. There she struggled to make it in the working class streets of inner-city Birmingham, while living with the guilt of the life she had left behind in Germany. This impactful story leaves a lasting impression on readers as they realize anything is possible as long as they keep trying.
Calum has written over a third of the book and needs funding to help him finish. Capital raised from Kickstarter will go towards paying for his sabbatical to take time off from work in order to fully complete the book, conduct further research in Germany and the UK, and to help with the eventual self-publication of the book. Backers of the campaign can choose from many attractive rewards as a thank you for the support.
Those who wish to make a contribution, please visit the Kickstarter campaign or click here.
This is an "all-or-nothing" deal. If Calum does not receive enough funding, then it might be years before he can finally finish this amazing book. Any donation will help! Please share this on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites to get the word out about this incredible story of one woman and her efforts to stay alive.

Create, send, and receive user activities directly.
- Foundation
Use Handoff to transfer activities the user starts on one iOS, watchOS, or macOS device to a different device. For example, a vector graphics app on macOS can send details about an in-progress editing action to the user's iPhone so that editing can continue there.
You implement Handoff in your app by:
Representing user activities as instances of
Updating the activity instances as the user performs actions in your app.
Receiving activities from Handoff in your app on other devices.
Declare Handoff Activities in Your App's Info.plist
Start by identifying which activities make sense to use with Handoff. Choose activities that represent what the user is doing at some point in time, like creating a shape or editing document properties. Choose a universally-unique identifier string for each of your activities, using a reverse-DNS pattern, like
You use your app's
Info file to declare that your app can receive an activity from Handoff. Create a new top-level entry in this file with the key NSUserActivityTypes and with the type
Array. Each member of the array should be a
String whose value is one of your activity identifiers. The following example shows the
Info XML source of a
NSUser entry that declares three activities that the app can continue:
Your app doesn't need to send and receive the same set of identifiers on all platforms. For example, you might have a large macOS app and a suite of smaller iOS apps. In this case, the macOS app might handle all your activities, while each iOS app would handle a subset of these activities. Also, while watchOS can send user activities, it cannot receive them, so watchOS apps don't declare an
NSUser property.
Your app can have many activities, each of which has different details to send to Handoff. Identify what information you'll need to recreate the activity on the receiving device. Be careful to only include the transient details of the user activity, and not any information that the app needs to store permanently. For example, if a user is working on a document, the activity should indicate the document—and possibly what part of the document—the user is editing. Don't include the document itself as part of the activity, since the user could launch your app without Handoff, such as by tapping or clicking its app icon. Instead, use techniques like iCloud Drive to share documents between the user's devices.
Create User Activity Objects
At runtime, create instances of
NSUser for each of your app's activities. Use the same identifier strings that you used in the
Info to indicate which activities your app can continue.
NSUser class contains a
user dictionary that you use to recreate the activity on other devices. The activity type also has a
required property that you populate with the minimal set of dictionary keys to make the activity restorable. The activity also contains a user-readable
title property that you should set. If the activity also supports search, the system displays this title in the search results.
NSResponder (macOS) and
UIResponder (iOS) classes define a
user property. Since
NSView and
UIView are subclasses of these responder types, you can set this property to represent the activity the controller is managing. Your app can share a single activity across multiple view controllers. Conversely, if a single view controller supports multiple activities, you can reassign the view controller's
user to different
NSUser instances as needed.
Update Activities While the User is Active
As your user interacts with your app, update the user activity to save the state of their interaction. If you have set the
user property of a responder, the system automatically calls its
update (iOS) or
update (macOS) method. Override this method to write new values to the activity's
user dictionary.
The keys and values you use in
user must be of the types
NSString, or
NSURL (or their Swift-bridged equivalents). Create a dictionary with any data needed to recreate the activity on the other device, then call
add to update the activity. It's also a good idea to provide a key-value pair that versions the dictionary itself. That way, you can change the activity's dictionary representation later and be able to detect incompatible versions.
Transfer as small a payload in the
user as possible, keeping the total size under 3KB. If you must transfer more data than this, use continuation streams to connect the two devices directly (see Working with Continuation Streams).
Receive User Activities in the Application Delegate
When the user launches your app from Handoff on another device, the app receives callbacks to methods in its application delegate. You implement these methods to accept the activity and restore its state in your app.
After launching your app, Handoff calls the
application(_: method of
UIApplication (iOS), or
application(_: method of
NSApplication (macOS). Implement this method by updating your UI to indicate to your user that it is receiving the activity from the other device. If Handoff fails for some reason, the system calls
application(_: (iOS), or
application(_: (macOS).
Handoff provides the activity to your app in the
application(_: (iOS), or
application(_: (macOS) delegate method. Implement the method by creating an array of view controllers that need to update for the activity, and provide this array to the completion handler. Return
true if your implementation successfully handled the activity, or
false if it did not. The following example shows an iOS app delegate finding its top view controller and providing it to the completion handler.
Continue the Activity in Your App
Each view controller provided to the completion handler in the previous step receives a call to its
restore (iOS), or
restore (macOS) method. Use this method to update the view controller's state to match the state of the originating device. If you have several activity types, use the
activity to determine which activity you are handling. Then, get the values from the activity's
user dictionary to update the view controller's state.
For URLs transferred in the
user dictionary, you must first call
start and it must return
true before you can access the URL. Call
stop when you finish using the URL. Also be aware that the system modifies
file: URLs pointing to iCloud documents, so that they point to the same document on the receiving device.

Contents 1 Building 2 Problem points 2.1 Documentation of KDE 2.2 LDAP Support 2.3 Search 2.4 Nepomuk 2.5 Akonadi Notifications 2.6 Design 2.7 Akonadi Start Stop 2.8 GPG4Win Integration 3 Some notes from the original porting project 3.1 Integration into the Windows Explorer & Desktop 3.1.1 Registry settings for default apps and services 18.104.22.168 Using MAPI 188.8.131.52 KDE-related notes 4 Links Building To build KDE PIM for Windows use emerge. For documentation about emerge please see [1] You should be able to get executables just by calling emerge kdepim. Problem points Status Feature Description Contact DONE Documentation of KDE Due to meinproc4 crashes documentation build is turned off from all kde products. TO DO LDAP Support Enabling KLdap Andre Heinecke <[email protected]> DONE Akonadi Notifications Akonadi Notifications are not communicated correctly to the GUI IN PROGRESS Search Provide a search backend IN PROGRESS Nepomuk Provide a working Nepomuk TO DO Akonadi startup/shutdown Decide how akonadi should be started/stopped on Windows TO DO Image view in Mailviewer Images in the Mailviewer are not shown correctly TO DO Configuration dialog asks for save every time The configuration dialog asks the user to confirm his changes even if no changes were made TO DO Design Make KDEPIM feel native on Windows TO DO Integrate with GPG4Win Use GPG4Win to provide Crypto support on Windows Andre Heinecke <[email protected]> Documentation of KDE For more details about the problem check the bug report: BUG263828 It is no longer an acute problem and documentation can be built. LDAP Support OpenLDAP does not build well for Windows on Windows, for this reason there is no working OpenLDAP-src target in emerge, if you want LDAP Support you have to manually install OpenLDAP into your KDE Enviornment before building kdepimlibs. Since Windows has native LDAP support with winldap it is easily possible to use that, an Obstacle for this is that also kdepimlibs is built with -DUNICODE it expects all system LDAP calls to return ASCII so you would have to do some conversions mappings there. A bit code for that is already in kdepimlibs/kldap/w32ldaphelp.h but it is only finished for WinCE not for WinNT. Search Strigideamon does not compile for Windows NT at the moment, so apart from Virtuoso/Nepomuk there is no Search for KDE PIM Software available. Currently Virtuoso gets started in the Enterprise 5 Package on some systems and on others not. There might be a packaging problem or timeouts that are reached. Strigi indexing complains that it is disabled, so even with a running Nepomuk there is no search available at the moment. Nepomuk Nepomuk only supports Virtuoso as Database backend. For a virtuoso installation to work regsvr32 has to be called on the virtuoso odbc driver at the moment. Soprano has to be fixed so that it checks if that driver is availble and if not registers it. Akonadi Notifications DBus problem that has been fixed in newer versions of DBus > 1.4.1 Design Oxygen Theme looks strange and alien on Windows 7 default style but ok on Windows XP style Currently the Packaged Style in the Enterprise 5 package is optimzed for windows 7 Best solution would be to check what the System Style is or package the KDE-Systemsettings to customize that style Akonadi Start Stop Akonadi startup can take a while on slow systems which delays the first Kontact startup. Once akonadi is running it can not be stopped from the UI GPG4Win Integration To integrate with gpg4win one has to copy the gpg2.exe in the gpg4win/bin directory to gpg.exe in the same directory. Otherwise no backends will be found. This can be fixed by packaging a better gpg4win-dev package. Some notes from the original porting project Integration into the Windows Explorer & Desktop Note jstaniek 22:01, 14 January 2008 (CET): TortoiseSVN is GPLed SVN client which is nicely integrated with Windows Explorer. Perhaps we can use its source code as a reference... Registry settings for default apps and services Introduction: We can detect whether KMail is the default e-mail client. If set as default, KMail should act as a default mailer, and thus be invoked automatically for actions like RMB "Send To -> E-mail Recipient". This shall be also reused by others for KOrganizer and Konqueror. The solution is relatively simple modifications to the Windows Registry. See Mozilla's solution. First, we can use HKLM node for system-global settings or HKCU node for current-user-only settings. If the attempt to set the value in HKLM fails, usually because of unsufficient permissions, HKCU should be used. As expected, HKCU overrides HKLM settings. See KB297878. Below we'll use HKCU. HKCU\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet key is used to specify default web browser; could be set to Konqueror HKCU\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet\app.exe\shell\open\command key is used for "Internet" start menu shortcut, can be set to Konqueror. Note from the KB - "The command might open the browser on the users home page, for example. However, it might launch some other introductory user interface that the ISV feels is appropriate." So this is not the same as 'default browser' setting. HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail\Appname - registered email client, there can be more entries within the 'Mail' node. Adding KMail here makes it available for users to select as a default browser using 'Set Default Programs' system window. HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail - default email client, 'Windows Mail' by default; could be set to KMail. HKCU\Software\Clients\Calendar\Appname - registered calendar application, there can be more entries within the 'Calendar' node. See the note for HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail\Appname. HKCU\Software\Clients\Calendar - default calendar application, 'Windows Calendar' on Vista; could be set to KOrganizer. HKCU\Software\Clients\Contacts\Appname - registered contacts client, there can be more entries within the 'Contacts' node. See the note for HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail\Appname. HKCU\Software\Clients\Contacts - default contacts application, 'Address Book' by default; could be set to KAddressBook. HKCU\Software\Clients\News\Appname - registered newsgroup client, there can be more entries within the 'News' node. See the note for HKCU\Software\Clients\Mail\Appname. HKCU\Software\Clients\News - default newsgroup application, 'Windows Mail' by default; could be set to KNode. From the KB: After updating the registry keys, the application broadcasts the WM_SETTINGCHANGE message with wParam = 0 and lParam pointing to the null-terminated string "Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet" to notify the operating system that the default client has changed. Using MAPI HKLM\Software\Clients\AppName\DllPath points to a dll implementing MAPI interface. Internet Explorer uses Windows Messaging by default to invoke a mailer on a mailto: link. Only if the MAPI install is misconfigured will it resort to directly accessing the mailto association key.[2] Example implementation of MAPI services is Thundebird's mozMapi32.dll (the key is usualle equal to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\mozMapi32.dll). KDE-related notes KDElibs execute default web browser or email client for protocols like http(s): and mailto: via QDesktopServices::openUrl(), which in turn uses ShellExecute(). openUrl() is widely used in Qt e.g. for hyperlinks in text boxes and label widgets. A general rule of KDE/win: not to duplicate registry settings in any rc file and use default applications if possible, to avoid changing behaviour expected by users. jstaniek 12:06, 18 June 2008 (CEST): Before LinuxTag I've performed some tests of setting default clients, and looks like it's is not possible to set onlt writing registry entries. Some API calls may be needed, especially because locked at least one registry key is locked for writing during the session.

Today is National Pi Day! In case you haven't figured out the connection yet, it's 14 March—written 3/14 in the American calendar system—and we get to celebrate the number pi, 3.14159, by eating pie, (preferably at 1:59 p.m.). Pi Day has been unofficially celebrated by universities, institutions, and miscellaneous science geeks for years—the earliest official celebration on the books happened at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988—but the House of Representatives officially designated 14 March as National Pi Day in 2009. Science is commemorating today's festival of math and dessert with a party. How are you celebrating? Tell us in the comments.

Isolation and NPO…not such a welcome sign
This is the not so welcome sign on my hospital door the week of Thanksgiving…
No sooner did I finish the previous blog post about being in the hospital during holidays did I start to feel a little "off". I landed in the hospital after collapsing with sudden dehydration and the need for several bags of IV fluid and total isolation for being contagious. Wouldn't you know I'd write about being in the hospital on holidays and end up there until Thanksgiving Day. I got sick on Monday and my blood pressure dropped so suddenly that I couldn't sit upright without falling to the floor. My doctor called ahead to arrange for me to be admitted because I've had this kind of depletion before. It definitely sets you back emotionally but I felt safe and cared for being *NPO and on anti-nausea meds while I rested. My first "full liquid" meal was on Thursday. I was discharged at 4:30pm just in time to be hungry enough for dinner and before the deli closed on the way home. We were able to stop for some take home turkey and mashed potatoes.
*(NPO) is a medical instruction meaning to withhold oral food and fluids from a patient for various reasons. It is a Latin phrase which translates as "nothing through the mouth".
It got me wondering…what food do you crave when you are NPO?

Our January was pretty much a quiet, steady sort of month. We settled back into our usual everyday routines after the Christmas holidays and plodded along until here we are at the very last day of the month. It
didn't actually feel as long or as dark as I had anticipated and it wasn't
that cold either, all of which I'm grateful for knowing what a struggle
January could be at times. And I am also grateful for all the joyful things that came our way this month, from simple pleasures like baking with
Lulu, listening to Markie reading, going out for walks and getting engrossed in a new book, to big, exciting events like our pop up
restaurant going well, my husband getting a secondment at work and booking our flights to the Philippines this May. These things cheered us, brightened our days and kept us going. Of course it wasn't all rosy.
There were tiring, grump-inducing days too, as well as illnesses that lingered for many days. But it still wasn't such a bad January, not at all. In fact, it's been kind to us and I feel we're blessed to have had a very good start to the New Year.
So on now to February. There's half-term in two weeks' time, new books
to read, WIP's old and new to get on with, pancakes to make and enjoy.
Lots of good things to see us through another winter month and then, hopefully, it will be Springtime.
How about you? How was your January?

Tree perch and simple tree deck i are great DIY ideas that add fun and playful mood to backyard designs. You just need to find a tree that is suited to the project and provides good structural support. The height, diameter of the trunk, branches thickness and tree health should be considered.
A tree perch and an elevated tree deck give a feeling of escape, but tall trees can move and become unstable or even dangerous in windy conditions. For safety reasons your tree perch or tree deck should be built within the lower third of the trunk.
Tree perch and lookout deck ideas
Branch thickness is an important consideration if they are going to support your tree perch or tree deck. Selecting a sturdy tree with thick and healthy branches make your backyard designs safe and fun.
Symmetrical tree is better choice for supporting your structure. An asymmetrical tree, loaded with the weight of your tree perch or wooden deck will experience changed weight distribution and can topple over. If you want to build a tree perch or tree deck on an asymmetrical tree, use a neighboring tree for additional support of your structure.
A healthy tree provide a solid support to your tree perch or lookout deck. Avoiding ropes and drilling neat holes before driving in screws or nails reduces the damage and keeps the tree heel itself faster. Here is a collection of tree perch and deck ideas that may inspire you to think of your own backyard designs.

text: Here's whatsnew:New display options:User-selectable resolutions for full screen mode. Asus Eeepc users can now use 800 x 480 to avoid having to scroll. LCD friendly refresh rates. CRT users can still use 100Hz for a more authentic display. Support for widescreen (16:9) display modes. Spectaculator will maintain the correct aspect ratio when using these modes. Support for 16 bit (high colour) full screen display modes. Significantly improved performance on Windows Vista in full screen mode. Fixed initial flicker when Spectaculator first loads and the user's display settings are applied. On-screen virtual keyboard:Spectaculator now has an on-screen virtual keyboard. The layout can be switched between the original rubber-keyed Spectrum and the Spectrum +/128K All keys are clickable. MGT/Datel Plus D emulation: Emulates standard G+DOS and Uni-DOS variants. Supports two virtual disk drives. Reads, writes and formats standard .mgt and .img disk image files. Support for extended .mgt and .img files which have 81 tracks, e.g. AlchNews 20. Reads, writes and formats real Plus D / DISCiPLE 3˝" disks (Windows 2000 and Windows XP only). Disk drive sound effects. Disk drives window for easy management of disk images. Disk images can be write protected, formatted, ejected, inserted and written to real floppy disks. Capture the Plus D's printer port output to a file, the Windows clipboard or any serial or parallel port attached to your PC. Emulation of the snapshot button to write snapshots to disk images or real floppy disks. Added new blocks to the zx-state (.szx) format to support state loading and saving. Support for loading and saving .z80 snapshots with Plus D information. Unfortunately the .z80 format knows nothing about the contents of the Plus D's RAM, the number of drives attached, state of the printer port, type of ROM installed etc. Use zx-state (.szx) instead. Disk Wizard (Windows 2000/XP only):Backs up Plus D formatted floppy disks (including Uni-DOS) to .img and .mgt disk image files. Writes .img and .mgt Plus D disk images back to real floppy disks (including Uni-DOS disks which have a mangled Head ID field in the sector headers). New Action Replay (RZX) features and fixes:Added support for rollback with multiple bookmarks. Disabled the debugger when in tournament mode. Spectrum +2A/+3 emulation:Improved emulation of these models thanks to information gained from running Kio's hardware test program on real hardware. Thanks Kio! Fixed crash when inserting a blank, double-sided disk image into any +3 drive. Spectrum 48k/128k/+2 emulation:Implemented contention on refresh cycles when the I register is pointing to ULA address space. (Thanks Woody and Philip Kendall). Added memory and I/O contention to upper RAM area on the Spectrum 128k/+2. (Thanks Patrik Rak and Philip Kendall). A read of port $7ffd on the Spectrum 128k/+2 now correctly writes the floating bus value back to that port. (Thanks Fredrick Meunier and Marat Fayzullin). Pentagon 128 emulation:Fixed floating bus values being returned for all unattached ports, not just $ff. (Thanks Philip Kendall). Enhancements to the Z80 core:Added the rest of the more esoteric undocumented instructions. Fixed a bug that could possibly crash the emulator. Added a fast instruction fetch monitoring system for hardware that needs it (e.g. µSpeech, Interface 1, Plus D). Fixed IM 0 interrupt acknowledge timing. Fixed INTREQ timing for all UK models after running Woody's test program on real hardware. (Thanks Woody). Fixed undocumented flags in BIT n,(IX+nn) instruction. Maskable and non-maskable interrupts are now not accepted during $dd/$fd sequences. Spectrum 128/+2/+2A/+3 communications ports:The Spectrum 128/+2/+2A/+3 communications ports output can now be redirected to a file, the Windows clipboard or any parallel or serial port attached to your computer. Fixed deadlock when redirecting output to LPT1 when there was nothing physically connected to it. Favourites list:Broken links can now be fixed. The favourites list is not lost when running multiple copies of Spectaculator at the same time. You will receive a warning if you try to change the list using two or more concurrently running copies. Audio cassette files:Support for v1.20 of the TZX Format (Set Signal Level and Generalized Data Blocks). Fixed the off-by-one-byte bug in skipping unknown blocks in ZX Tape (.tzx) files. Added support for CSW version 2 files that are not Zlib compressed. Currah µSpeech:Re-wrote the emulation to use memory mapped I/O ports rather than ROM traps. Fixed the speech when in Sinclair BASIC (this was broken in 6.25). Extracted the allophones from a real µSpeech for a more genuine sound. Fixed intonation (broken since 5.0) ZX Interface 1:Removed the ROM traps as they are no longer needed. As a side-effect, games and other programs which do a crude CRC on the 48K ROM (e.g. Fairlight) now load with the Interface 1 connected. Dr. Logan's diagnostic test program now works correctly. Fixed the Eject Microdrive Cartridge keyboard short cut (Alt+J) when using Ctrl as Symbol Shift. Spectaculator can now use .mdr files that have the write-protect byte missing from the file. ZX Interface 2:Spectaculator can now load 8KB ROMs such as the Parker prototypes. The second 8KB block in the ROM space is a duplicate of the first 8KB. New joystick options:Added emulation of the Comcom programmable joystick interface. This joystick allows mapping of the directional controls as well as the fire buttons to keys on the Spectrum keyboard. You can map all 32 buttons on your real joystick/gamepad, if you have that many. Removed the Always return valid Kempston joystick data option. This only existed for compatibility with some old .sna snapshots that assumed a Kempston joystick would always be present. Changed the port decoding for Kempston mode to default to $df since that's what nearly all the various Kempston clones that were made respond to. This gets the Kempston option on various games such as Nonamed and Jungle Warrior working. You can change the decoding back to Genuine Kempston ($1f) in the Advanced tab of the Options property sheet. The joystick configuration dialog has been redesigned so it is now possible to completely disable joystick emulation, even when you have a real joystick attached. Debugger fixes:Displays (IX/IY-128) correctly. Correctly decodes redundant $dd and $fd prefixes. Fixed display when memory is paged during single-stepping. Changed SL1 opcode to SLL as this mnemonic is more common, if incorrect. The decimal/hex setting is now respected by the register(s) editor. Cassette Recorder:Fixed incorrect triggering of auto stop when loading the following TZX files: Sailing Lode Runner Vega Solaris Fixed auto play not working with Striker. Multiface:Several users reported random crashes in TR-DOS when emulating the Pentagon 128 and Scorpion ZS 256. This is due to the Multiface being enabled when it is not compatible with the Beta 128 disk hardware. The Multiface is now disabled when emulating these machines. The Multiface emulation has now been completely re-written. The Disable switch on the Tools->Multiface menu now only works for the Multiface 1 (since it was the only model which had a physical disable switch). Triggering an NMI (Control menu->Generate NMI) when the Multiface 128 or Multiface 3 is disabled (they are both disabled at power-on) will now correctly just generate the NMI and not activate and page in the Multiface. The Multiface red button (Tools menu->Multiface->Activate) is required to activate and page in the Multiface 128 and Multiface 3 Saved Multiface 3 snapshots will now reload. The contents of the ROM are now saved to zx-state (.szx) snapshots if Enable writes to Multiface ROM is selected. Miscellaneous:Spectaculator's plug-ins are no longer UPX packed since a few incompatibilities have been found which can cause crashes. Tidied up the menus, adding access keys (mnemonics) where they were missing. Startup error dialog boxes no longer appear behind the splash screen. View->Border->Small now correctly sets the correct window size when the menu bar wraps. Copying the screen image to the clipboard now works in fullscreen modes. Saving the screen image now works if Spectaculator is in fullscreen mode. The Quick load dialog box now lists the snapshots in the same order as described in the online help (newest at the top). Imported machine code can now be immediately executed. The File->New dialog box can now be navigated correctly with the keyboard. Double-clicking the title bar now enters full screen mode, just like the maximise button. Fixed ZX Printer listings having lines cut-off at the bottom of a page. Tape sound is now recorded when using the audio recording. ZS Scorpion .z80 snapshots are now saved with the correct page numbers. ***NOTE: Free 30-day trial - Must buy to use fully after that.Get it here:http://www.spectaculator.com/downloads/-Trebor

Under the direction of the primary care physician, Nurse Care Managers, Resource Coordinators, Patient Care Coordinators, disease educators and pharmacists work in the practice to coordinate care and help patients with chronic health conditions face-to-face. Care plans are aligned to the patient's treatment plan, and teams are aligned with practice staff for overall coordination of care. These care teams play a critical role in helping the physician deliver higher quality care, such as higher medication adherence rates (96.4% for diabetes, 95.1% for hyperlipidemia, and 94.6% for hypertension) and hemoglobin A1c control rates 15% higher than the national average.
Patients receive custom care plans to meet their health, lifestyle, cultural and social needs. The focus is on total health, both physical and emotional, and overall wellbeing. Teams help patients understand their conditions, learn how to care for themselves at work and home, develop early-intervention strategies, remove barriers to adherence and get connected to additional providers and/or important health resources. This personalized support leads to an 11% higher rate of engagement for complex patients compared to market benchmarks.
Preventing issues before they arise leads to better outcomes than traditional programs that only react to acute events. The success of this preventive approach shows in the results: primary care providers supported by VillageMD have 20-45% lower admissions and readmission rates compared to market averages, and avoidable ED visits are more than 30% below average. Annual Wellness Visits provide an opportunity for physicians and patients to have a meaningful conversation about their health and deliver clinical information to help proactively identify patients in need. VillageMD's provider partners increased the number of Annual Wellness Visits by an average of 63%, gathering better health information on their patients for higher quality care.
In practices supported by VillageMD, 92% of all post-acute patients received a visit from either the primary care provider or a care manager shortly after discharge. With admissions, the transitional care management team begins planning before discharge to support patients at highest risk for readmission and set up a healthy transition home. The Village @Home program uses nurse practitioners to do check-ups at patients' homes, reconcile medications, help set up a safe home environment, and coordinate care with post-acute ancillary providers and specialists as needed.

Leona Lewis has been asked to sing for US President-elect Barack Obama at his inauguration ceremony in Washington DC on January 20.
The singer, who yesterday (November 23) beat Dido to the Number One spot in the albums chart with a reissue of her album 'Spirit', is set to join Jay-Z and Beyonce at the ceremony, reports The Sun.
Millions are expected to convene in the US capital on inauguration day, while tickets to the ceremony are exchanging hands for thousands on auction sites.
Speaking before Obama won the US election, Lewis said: "I think Obama is amazing. He's just so cool and articulate. Nothing fazes him.
"It would mean everything for ethnic minorities in that country and every country around the world to have a mixed-race leader of America."

Tenolysis is surgery to release a tendon affected by adhesions. A tendon is a type of tissue that connects muscle to bone. An adhesion happens when scar tissue forms and binds tendons to surrounding tissue. This can make it difficult for the affected body part to work correctly. For example, adhesion in the fingers can cause the tendons to become stuck. This prevents the fingers from being able to move properly.
This surgery is often done on hands and wrists.
|Tendons in Finger
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
You may have tendon adhesions if you had an injury to the area or if you had surgery that affected the tendon. Tenolysis is done when other therapies, like physical therapy, are unsuccessful.
In addition to tenolysis, other procedures may need to be done. The goal is to have full movement of the affected body part.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Damage to nerves or other nearby structures
- Inability to have full movement of the affected body part
- Pain and stiffness
- Infection
- Ruptured tendon
- Amputation
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
- Smoking
- Excessive alcohol use
- Chronic disease such as diabetes or obesity
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
A physical exam will be done before the procedure.
Talk to your doctor about any medications, herbs, or supplements you are taking. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your surgery, unless told otherwise by your doctor.
Anesthesia will keep you pain-free and comfortable during the procedure. Anesthesia methods include:
- Local anesthesia—the surgical area will be numbed
- General anesthesia —you will be asleep
Description of the Procedure
A tourniquet will be tied near the area where the surgery will occur. This will prevent blood flow to that area. An incision will be made in the skin to expose the tendon and surrounding tissue. The tissue will be cut to release the tendon. During surgery, your ability to move the affected body part will be checked. Based on the movement, the doctor can assess if the procedure is working or if additional procedures need to be done. This may include reconstructing the tendon. The incision will be closed with stitches.
How Long Will It Take?
This depends on which tendon is affected and to what extent. For example, if you injured the flexor tendon in your finger, it can take 45-60 minutes to repair.
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will block pain during the procedure. You will have pain after the procedure. Ask your doctor about medication to help manage pain.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 1-2 days. If you have any problems, you will need to stay longer.
Post-procedure Care
Right after the procedure, you will be taken to recovery and monitored closely. The staff may give you:
- Pain medication
- Antibiotics to prevent infection
- Medication to prevent blood clots
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Avoid strenuous activities for at least 4 weeks.
- Do not lift anything heavy until your doctor says it is okay to do so.
- Follow your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given
- Signs of infection, such as fever or chills
- Swelling, redness, or pain from the incision site
- Numbness or tingling
- New or worsening symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

The New £1 Coin
For more than 1,100 years The Royal Mint has paired technology and innovation with continuity and tradition. In 2017 the public has seen the new 12-sided £1 coin, hailed as the most secure coin in the world, enter circulation.
In 2016 The Royal Mint struck a series of coins to mark the 150th anniversary of Beatrix Potter's birth, honouring the gifted artist and author. The nation's love for Beatrix and her tales inspired The Royal Mint to celebrate even more of her characters in 2017: Peter Rabbit, Jeremy Fisher, Benjamin Bunny and Tom Kitten.
Sir Isaac Newton was the intellectual giant of the seventeenth century's 'Scientific Revolution'. He changed our understanding of mathematics and physics, redefined the way we see the world and shaped the security of our currency in his role as Master of the Mint. In 2017, we celebrate his genius on a UK 50p coin.
For more than 1,100 years The Royal Mint has paired technology and innovation with continuity and tradition. In 2017 the public has seen the new 12-sided £1 coin, hailed as the most secure coin in the world, enter circulation.
In 2017 we continue our First World War centenary commemorations with the fourth £2 coin, in a five-coin series, which honours the aviators of the First World War. At the outbreak of the First World War few people believed that aircraft would play a major role in the conflict. As the war developed into the bloodiest conflict ever seen, the race for superior air power began, shaping the history of human flight as we know it.
200 years after her death, Jane Austen remains one of the best-loved authors in the world. Her novels were revolutionary in their treatment of subjects such as love, marriage and money; and from her first novel, Sense and Sensibility, readers began a love affair with her fiction that has lasted two centuries. In 2017 we celebrate the life and works of Jane Austen.
In her long reign Her Majesty The Queen has marked Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees and the nation has celebrated with her each time. As The Queen reaches an unparalleled milestone of 65 years since coming to the throne – the first and only British monarch to celebrate a Sapphire Jubilee – The Royal Mint has created an official UK coin to mark the moment.
In 2017 we mark the 100th anniversary of the House of Windsor, which came into being in July 1917 by proclamation of George V. At this time, the Royal Family gave up the German name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha which had come to them in 1840 with the marriage of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert. This decision was largely due to anti-German feeling during the First World War and, with a new name, a new royal dynasty was born.
In 2017 we mark the 1000th anniversary of the coronation of King Canute. A Viking warrior crowned 'king of all England' in 1017, King Canute's achievements and influence paved the way for the nation we recognise today.
The Sovereign is the epitome of quality and beauty, with a reputation as 'the chief coin of the world'. Its story may be more than five centuries old, but two centuries ago the gold coin set new standards for accuracy that defined a currency. In 2017 we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the design created by Benedetto Pistrucci that has endured for two centuries.
The Lion of England is the first coin in a new series of Proof coins that represent The Queen's Beasts – a series of statues which stood guard outside Westminster Abbey at the coronation of Her Majesty The Queen (Queen Elizabeth II), each representing a particular heraldic story from The Queen's ancestral history.
The Lunar Year of the Rooster coin is the latest in The Royal Mint's Shēngxiào Collection. Combining centuries of Chinese tradition with British minting craftsmanship, the collection celebrates the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, each with their own unique characteristics and qualities. Chinese New Year occurred on 28 January 2017, and marked the start of the Year of the Rooster – the tenth animal in the zodiac, and the fourth in our series.

TiVo, Inc. necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 46 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
TiVo, Inc.
Founded in 1997, TiVo, a pioneer in home entertainment, created a brand-new product and service category with the development of the world's first digital video recorder (DVR). Today, the company continues to revolutionize the way consumers watch and access home entertainment, by making the TiVo DVR the focal point of the digital living room: a center for sharing and experiencing television, movies, video downloads, music, photos, and more.
People looking for a DVR
We would like to create an email that focuses on the cost/value of TiVo as it compares to regular cable DVRs. All of the content needed to create this email is pretty much on this page (the comparison chart and price) http://www.tivo.com/what-is-premier…index.html
A good headline might be: TiVo Premiere gives you so much more...for so much less.
Also, it might look neat to have the following info in a graph. "Average monthly cost over 5 years" People seem to respond well to graphs. We feel that a simple bar chart (comparing the cost of TiVo vs. the cost of a cable DVR) will work fine.
We would like to include "Try it Risk Free for 30 Days" somewhere in the email.
The comp. chart is not even necessary. What might look cool is a "tag cloud" (like this http://www.winnefox.org/blog/tagcloud.gif) of all the features of TiVo
The theme of the email is still..."TiVo Premiere gives you so much more, for so much less" Under that headline could be a tag cloud and a simple price chart (Or it could just say "$11.65 vs. $15.95") Then under that a small product shot with Try it risk free
We are looking for a nice, professional design. You are free to use any of the content or images from tivo.com.
Thanks a lot.
