You've always kept sunscreen in your beach bag, but surely you can stop worrying about the sun now that you're older – after all, any damage has already been done, right? Not so fast! although it's widely thought that most sun exposure happens before the age of 18, sun damage can continue to impact your skin throughout your life. In other words, the steps you take now can make a big difference in your skin's youthful appearance now and in the future. Read on to learn the answers to your most pressing questions about sun damage – and how to prevent it.
What is sun damage?
spending time in the sunshine feels wonderful, but as the sun gives off ultra-violet light, it also damages your skin. Over time, these UV rays can cause wrinkles and dark spots. sun damage can also cause dry skin, pigmentation and even skin cancer.
do I Only Need to Worry When it's Really Hot?
You may be tempted to use sun protection only when it's scorching outside, or when you're spending a day at the lake, beach or pool, but you should wear sun protection all year long. Even on a cloudy or hazy day, UV rays can still reach your skin. In fact, many people get burnt when it's cooler because they forget to protect themselves. When you're on the beach or in areas with snow or water, you risk even more damage, as these surfaces reflect the sun.
When is the sun at its strongest?
Being sun smart is particularly important between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV light is at its strongest. If you are unsure about how strong the UV rays are, do the shadow test. If your shadow is shorter than you are, the sunrays are strong – so make sure you're protected!
What can I do to protect against sun damage?
You can't turn back the clock, but you can help reduce future sun damage with sun-smart habits. a vital part of your daily skincare routine should be to apply broad-spectrum sun protection with an spf of at least 15. ("Broad spectrum" means that it protects against both UVa and UVB rays.) for air-light protection, try olay Regenerist Whips spf 25. Its anti-aging formula, with broad spectrum spf 25, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and leaves a light-as-air finish.
What can I do to fade dark spots?
to help fade dark spots and uneven skin tone caused by past sun damage, try this regimen:
- apply olay Luminous Miracle Boost concentrate face Booster to your skin before moisturizing. this advanced tone-perfecting formula booster preps your skin, fades the look of dark spots and evens out skin tone, and enhances your skin's absorbency with hydration
- apply olay Luminous tone perfecting cream face Moisturizer, a fast-absorbing moisturizing cream that fades the look of dark spots, age spots, sun spots and discoloration

Art is made in desolation and in desperate circumstances sometimes. Well, most of the time. Very few secure, comfortable people think about creating something. What do they think about? Beats me. I'm not one of them.
I recently broke my foot, which forced me to sit down and write a book. Maybe I would have written it anyway but definitely not with such pathos. Pain and pathos seem to go together.
Last year, a good friend of mine wrote a book about what was arguably the worst time in his life. And yet, he wrote a wonderful, funny book—so wonderful, in fact, that he sent it off to one—I repeat one—publisher and they accepted it for publication. Do you know how rare that is?
His book, Loaded South, chronicles his adventures and misadventures driving a cab in Austin during the height of Austin's hippie-dippy, celebrity-ridden, blues-and-country-band-laden period. It was a lost time in his life but out of it came an endearing tale. He took something bad and made it something good.
Hailing from Lubbock, Clay was familiar with that whole process of seeing the funny in the ridiculous. (My favorite Clay story about Lubbock is that he once had a history teacher there who told the class that Abraham Lincoln committed suicide. When Clay objected, he was sent to the principal's office.) People say, even songwriters sing, that "you can't live in Texas unless you've got a lot of soul" and rightly so. It has to do with accepting what you have and making it something wonderful.
Singer-songwriter Sarah Jaffe has got a lot of soul. She's from Denton, Texas, north of Dallas. If you've been there, you know how much soul she has to have. It's in direct proportion to the loneliness and downright dreariness of that north Texas town. But loneliness and dreariness can be advantages. They can be the backdrop to beautiful thoughts. Sarah's song, Clementine, is her beautiful thoughts put to music. As you listen, you know there is a problem but you don't know what it is. She longs to be more delicate. She longs to be named Clementine. She isn't either of those things. But she is a great artist.
If you want to see paintings full of longing, look at the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh. The longing is palpable. He had so much passion and he had nowhere to put it except the canvas. He became one of the most famous and celebrated artists who ever lived. But in his life, he had nothing. Nothing but his art. He accepted that and made it something wonderful.
Kudos to Clay and all of the other creators who create something from nothing.My published novels, The Legend of Juan Miguel and The Passion of Juan Miguel, are available on Amazon.com.

It was a big deal a year ago when Manny Ramirez' 500th home run ball was caught by a fan who passed up a payday and returned it.

From loved to despised, then loved again and now on that "other" list, Manny changed teams.
Damon Woo, the fan who caught the ball in Baltimore and gave it back is still happy with his decision.

Brian Herbert
On the peanut-shaped planetoid of Ut, a 150-million-year-old computer named Mamacita rules with dictatorial control. Her every whim is a steadfast rule, and no command is stronger than the ban of Sudanna, the wind that sweeps across Ut spreading the liberating sounds of music.
Bestselling author Brian Herbert's hilarious first novel. For centuries the slops that inhabit the Earth have been rocketing their refuse into the Galaxy, carelessly littering the cosmos with wrappers and peelings and bottles and cans. But now the universe is about to get even. An immense comet of garbage has been sighted on a collision course for Earth! Only one man can stop it: a human discard, a lowly government worker who dreams of becoming a Space Patrol Captain but could never pass the physical—the unheroic, the imperfect, the one-and-only Sidney Malloy!
In the super-consumer society of the future, recycling is illegal, and Earth's garbage is catapulted into deep space. But as humankind reluctantly learns, what goes up must come down. . .
In this rollicking, thought-provoking, highly imaginative exploration, Brian Herbert shares the environmental concerns of his father, Frank Herbert, the world-famous author of Dune.
Long ago, the ancient gospels of Jesus's female apostles were stolen by powerful churchmen and relegated to the rubbish heaps of history. But those apostles have been reborn as female children, and are dictating new gospels that will be incorporated into a radical new religious text, the Holy Women's Bible.
Lori Vale, a rebellious teenager, is thrust into the middle of a violent religious conflict when her mother is murdered, and the girl is taken to a heavily guarded fortress in an ancient Greek monastery. There, a group of radical women is creating an earthshaking religious text, the Holy Women's Bible. The new sacred book will include the Old Testament and the New Testament, edited to alter gospels that are detrimental to the interests of women, such as passages asserting that they should obey their husbands, remain silent in churches, and suffer the burden of Eve's sins.
Frank Herbert's last published novel, a charming and witty science fiction adventure coauthored with his son Brian. What if the entire universe were the creation of alien minds? After an unfortunate spaceship accident, the hedonistic and ambitious human Lutt Hansen, Jr., finds himself sharing his body and mind with a naive alien dreamer. The two have to survive numerous dangers, schemes and assassination attempts . . . but can they survive each other?

Our best bet in the fight against breast cancer is early detection, and mammograms are still the best tool. In fact, they have been shown to lower the chance of dying from breast cancer by 35 percent in women over the age of 50.
How mammograms work
During a mammogram the breasts are compressed between two plates so X-ray images can be taken from multiple angles. The resulting images will be examined by a radiologist – a doctor who specializes in reading images of the body – to pinpoint any visible abnormalities in the tissue. It's a great first line of defense against breast cancer because mammograms can pinpoint tiny masses long before doctors would be able to see or feel them.
Is it safe?
Yes. Four images of your breasts contain no more radiation than what you receive daily in the atmosphere.
You will experience some discomfort. Mammography only produces an effective image if your breasts are compressed as flat as possible. The mammographers are trained to get the best image possible while keeping your comfort in mind.
Digital Mammography for women and men is offered at both Riverside
Set a clinical breast exam with your doctor first, and then call 757-302-2102 to schedule a screening mammogram at whichever location is convenient for you.
Is there anything else I should be doing?
Mammography is a great tool, but it's also important that women of all ages examine their own breasts. Choose a time once a month to check for any lumps or abnormalities.
What happens after my mammogram?
Your mammogram images will be reviewed by a

#IYS2015: FAO Kicks Off International Year of Soils 2015, See Documentary Free Online Until Dec. 12
ROME - (NewMediaWire) - December 5, 2014 - Healthy soils are critical for global food
production, but we are not paying enough attention to this important
"silent ally," FAO Director-General
José Graziano da Silva said on the eve of World Soil Day, to be celebrated on 5
Healthy soils not only are the foundation for food, fuel, fibre and medical products, but also are essential to our ecosystems, playing a key role in the carbon cycle, storing and filtering water, and improving resilience to floods and droughts, he noted.
The UN has declared 2015 the International Year of Soils. The year will be kicked off December 5 at events in Rome, New York and Santiago de Chile, in an effort to raise awareness and promote more sustainable use of this critical resource.
"Today, we have more than 805 million people facing hunger and malnutrition. Population growth will require an approximately increase of 60 percent in food production. As so much of our food depends on soils, it is easy to understand how important it is to keep them healthy and productive," Graziano da Silva said, adding: "Unfortunately, 33 percent of our global soil resources are under degradation and human pressures on soils are reaching critical limits, reducing and sometimes eliminating essential soil functions."
"I invite all of us to take an active role in promoting the cause of soils during 2015 as it is an important year for paving the road towards a real sustainable development for all and by all," he added.
Soils - key resource at risk
FAO estimates that a third of all soils are degraded, due to erosion, compaction, soil sealing, salinization, soil organic matter and nutrient depletion, acidification, pollution and other processes caused by unsustainable land management practices.
Unless new approaches are adopted, the global amount of arable and productive land per person will in 2050 be only one-fourth of the level in 1960.
It can take up to 1,000 years to form one centimetre of soil, and with 33 percent of all global soil resources degraded and human pressures increasing, critical limits are being reached that make stewardship an urgent matter, Graziano da Silva said.
Calling soils a "nearly forgotten resource," he called for more investment in sustainable soil management, saying that would be cheaper than restoration and "is needed for the achievement of food security and nutrition, climate change adaptation and mitigation and overall sustainable development."
At least a quarter of the world's biodiversity lives underground, where, for example, the earthworm is a giant alongside tiny organisms such as bacteria and fungi. Such organisms, including plant roots, act as the primary agents driving nutrient cycling and help plants by improving nutrient intake, in turn supporting above-ground biodiversity as well.
Better management can assure that those usually unnoticed organisms boost soil's ability to absorb carbon and mitigate desertification, so that even more carbon can be sequestered -- helping offset agriculture's own emissions of greenhouse gases.
Mapping the earth
FAO has implemented more than 120 soil-related projects around the world and produced together with UNESCO the World Soil Map. Among the most urgent priorities is to update, standardize and render accessible the world's knowledge of soil types and distribution.
Currently, data on soils is very often outdated, limited in coverage, and fragmented in nature. One of FAO's priorities is to establish a global soil information system that could assist with reliable data decision-making regarding soil management.
FAO has embarked on a host of initiatives, including launching the Global Soil Partnership, which has rolled out the Healthy Soils Facility as its operational arm.
Presentations at World Soil Day celebration
Listen to Ronald Vargas, a technical officer with FAO's Land and Water Division, discuss what's at stake for all who depend on soil.

Achieving food security for all is at the heart of FAO's efforts – to make sure people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. Our three main goals are: the eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition; the elimination of poverty and the driving forward of economic and social progress for all; and, the sustainable management and utilization of natural resources, including land, water, air, climate and genetic resources for the benefit of present and future generations.
FAO creates and shares critical information about food, agriculture and natural resources in the form of global public goods. But this is not a one-way flow. We play a connector role, through identifying and working with different partners with established expertise, and facilitating a dialogue between those who have the knowledge and those who need it. By turning knowledge into action, FAO links the field to national, regional and global initiatives in a mutually reinforcing cycle. By joining forces, we facilitate partnerships for food and nutrition security, agriculture and rural development between governments, development partners, civil society and the private sector.
An intergovernmental organization, FAO has 194 Member Nations, two associate members and one member organization, the European Union. Headquartered in Rome, Italy, FAO is present in over 130 countries. http://www.fao.org

The GCC region is expected to spend more than $90 billion on education-related construction projects by the end of 2014, according to a report.
This high spending makes the education sector one of the biggest for contractors and suppliers with the population in the GCC forecast to increase from 50.6 million in 2014 to 55.8 million by 2018, according to a report by Ventures Middle East.
Saudi Arabia has emerged as the biggest investor in education in the region with an expected spending of $56 billion, the report stated.
The country will construct 465 new schools and refurbish 1,500, alongside 1,544 existing school construction projects. It is also building eight new colleges and new vocational and technical facilities.
Kuwait comes next with an allocation of $10.5 billion for the education sector (about 14 per cent of its 2013-14 annual budget) followed by Qatar which has set aside $7.2 billion, up 7.3 per cent over the previous year, the report said.
In the UAE, $2.6 billion or about 21 per cent of its 2014 budget is being spent on schools and all new buildings, according to the report.
Oman has announced plans to spend $6.8 billion, about 18.6 per cent of the total public expenditure, to provide free basic education to all its nationals, while Bahrain has allocated $2.2 billion for the fiscal year 2013-14.
The report was compiled by Ventures Middle East for The Big 5 show, which opens in Dubai, UAE, this month (See Special Preview).
"There are huge business opportunities for suppliers who understand the education sector. The GCC has a young demographic and governments are investing heavily in education," stated Andy White, the event director for The Big 5.

Water is an invaluable resource for life on earth. Human intervention in nature has affected this resource drastically. Human activities are largely responsible for polluting rivers. Rivers are a very important source of water but they are treated as dumping grounds. This has led to a tremendous decline in the quality of human health and a widespread effect on the environmental conditions. Good maintenance of clean and unpolluted rivers as a source of water is essential for the health and survival of mankind.

There is asymmetric information between lenders and entrepreneurs: while entrepreneurs know the protability of their investment projects, lenders must pay an auditing cost to observe the project's return. This information asymmetry is the key source of persistence in the model. A positive productivity shock increases savings of entrepreneurs and lowers agency costs, making it easier for them to obtain external nance.

The ability of the mammalian kidney to concentrate urine is an important factor contributing to survival in arid lands. The low urine volumes normally voided by the camel are reduced further under dehydration and a relatively high total osmolarity (i.e. the concentration of solutes) is further increased (Table 22). In relation to its body weight the camel passes very little urine, even when it has free access to water, and the total amount rarely exceeds five litres/day. In addition, the camel has another peculiarity i.e.

Beauty in the mountains,
beauty in the sky,
the teachings of such,
are here where they lie.
If you listen closely,
you can hear it clear,
within their silence,
freedom is near.
Come back to this place,
to quiet the mind,
over and over until,
silence you find.
Obviously I want you to interpret this poem however you wish. I think it is important to listen to what you took from this – it probably told you just what you maybe needed to hear at that time. Or maybe it was nothing… maybe it is just a reminder or simple "food for thought" :).
Whatever the case may be… I will briefly explain my definition of it. So I remember exactly when and where I wrote this poem. It was last May in Rishikesh, India when Zuzana and I ventured there for a 4 week yoga training course and deeper connection with ourselves. It was early morning before practice and I was sitting on the terrace looking out at the foothills of the Himalayas… and well this is what I heard I guess you could say. 😛
I think often if we sit alone with ourselves, especially if it can be in nature we can learn so much from not only our surroundings but from within. That is I guess what I am trying to express here – is to be open and listen to what is around you whether it be nature or even people. The reflection of all of it can teach us so much about ourselves. Like I have mentioned in previous posts sometimes our judgement of others is simply a shortcoming of our own that needs to be recognized. Not only can we view the weaker links of ourself, we can also see the beauty reflected as well. I think it is important to be able to recognize both.
With that said allowing this time and space alone with your thoughts – you have no influence or judgement from others or yourself that you may be creating and unaware of. You are just "here and now" completely open to see and reconnect with your TRUE self. The self we often forget about, put aside for others or distract ourselves from connecting with. I think once you can be comfortable with the purity of "I" than you are unlimited with possibilities.
Be Yourself… See Yourself… Love Yourself.

Understanding SB 375: Opportunities to Engage the Public In Regional Planning
This guide from the Institute for Local Government offers local officials an overview of the benefits and opportunities for effective and inclusive public engagement in regional transportation planning in California, especially with regard to the preparation of sustainable communities strategies required by SB 375.
The guide contains approaches that go beyond the minimum public participation requirements, because plans based on full and effective public engagement will more likely be responsive to local and regional needs and have public support.
The Institute for Local Government (ILG) is the research and education affiliate of the California State Association of Counties and the League of California Cities.
Resource Link: www.ca-ilg.org/document/understanding-sb-375-opportunities-engage-public-regional-planning
Also see the "SB 375 Resource Center" at www.ca-ilg.org/sb-375-resource-center. The Institute's SB 375 project provides resources for local officials to learn about this important law (2008), and how it affects California cities and counties. There you'll find a variety of information resources about Senate Bill 375 and how it relates to local and regional planning for transportation, land use, housing and the environment.

Magnolia 2.0 released: Usability and J2EE Enterprise Content Management in one hard-to-beat Open-Source package.
Basel (Switzerland), Nov. 15th 2004
With the release of Magnolia 2.0, a new generation of Open-Source Content Management is entering the highly competitive CMS market. Great usability paired with all advantages of web-based systems and built for the enterprise strength J2EE platform: a combination only Magnolia offers. As open-source software with the well-known advantages regarding TCO (total cost of ownership), security and expandability, Magnolia is also foremost in adopting new standards. Magnolia accesses content using JSR-170, the "Java Content Repository API". According to industry experts, JSR-170 will bring about major advances in interoperability and investment protection. Here, Magnolia delivers today what commercial vendors will tomorrow.
Magnolia 2.0 from Obinary is the most progressive open-source J2EE Enterprise content management system today. Magnolia 2.0 offers some outstanding features, even compared to commercially licensed systems. The developers at Obinary succeeded in transferring well-known desktop software behavior to the web-based user interface. The result is a substantially improved user experience, which for once earns the often-strained description "intuitive". All actions can be performed directly in the web-browser using the right mouse button. Content elements can be moved and sorted using drag & drop. Thus the use of the system is simplified and faster, and required user training and resulting costs are minimized.
Magnolia 2.0 is first open-source CMS and one of the first products at all based on the new JSR-170 standard, which defines the "Java Content Repository API". Communication between "Content Repositories" and applications is standardized and implemented vendor-independently. Content repositories specialize on intelligent content storage, while applications like Magnolia can focus on the management and presentation of content. Content from different applications supporting this standard can be shared easily, managed vendor-neutrally and stored future compatible. Magnolia 2.0 uses the open-source licensed JSR-170-implementation "Jackrabbit" as a content repository, based on version 0.14 of the JSR-170 standard definition.
Magnolia 2.0 has a modular architecture, which offers efficiency and performance and allows easy and precise extensibility. As a J2EE solution, Magnolia 2.0 offers the excellent scalability, availability and performance this technology is known for. Companies like Siemens Enterprise and numerous customers from the pharmaceutical industries are already using Magnolia today.
Magnolia 2.0 has been developed by Obinary, a software and consulting firm located in Basel/Switzerland that also offers commercial support, hosting, training and implementation services for Magnolia. Magnolia 2.0 is available from http://www.magnolia.info/ and can be tested online at http://www.magnolia.info/demo.

History, with all her volumes vast, hath but one page
There is the moral of all human tales;"
"Tis but the same rehearsal of the past,
First Freedom, and then Glory — when that fails,
Wealth, vice, corruption, — barbarism at last.
And History, with all her volumes vast,
Hath but one page, — 'tis better written here,
Where gorgeous Tyranny hath thus amass'd
All treasures, all delights, that eye or ear,
Heart, soul could seek, tongue ask — Away with words! draw near,
Admire, exult, despise, laugh, weep, — for here
There is such matter for all feeling: — Man!
Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear,
Ages and realms are crowded in this span,
This mountain, whose obliterated plan
The pyramid of empires pinnacled,
Of Glory's gewgaws shining in the van
Till the sun's rays with added flame were fill'd!
Where are its golden roofs? where those who dared to build?

As I mentioned in an update to the original post, HTTP tracking is now available via custom IPFIX exports in a variety of products. Cisco's ISR G2 and ASR 1K routers now have this export available as part of their MACE feature set (Data license required). You'll still need a collector capable of dealing with this export record, however. The content below still applies to NetFlow v5 and traditional NetFlow v9.
Here's a question I find myself answering frequently on the Solarwinds NetFlow forum:
How can I use NetFlow to track the websites being accessed from my network?
The short answer that I usually give on the forum is this: you can't, because NetFlow v5 doesn't track HTTP headers. With this blog post, though, I'll go into the answer in more detail so that I can refer people to it in the future.
First, a quick review of what NetFlow is, and how it works:
- When NetFlow is enabled on a router interface, the router begins to track information about the traffic that transits the interface. This information is stored in a data structure called the flow cache.
- Periodically, the contents of the flow cache can be exported to a "collector", which is a process running on an external system that receives and stores flow data. This process is called "NetFlow Data Export", or NDE. Typically the collector is tied into an "analyzer", which massages the flow data into something useful for human network analysts.
- NDE is optional. One can gather useful information from NetFlow solely from the command-line without ever using an external collector.
- Data that can be tracked by NetFlow depends on the version. The most commonly deployed version today is NetFlow version 5, which tracks the following key fields:
- Source interface
- Source and destination IP address
- Layer 4 protocol (e.g., ICMP, TCP, UDP, OSPF, ESP, etc.)
- Source and destination port number (if the layer 4 protocol is TCP or UDP)
- Type of service value
- These "key fields" are used to define a "flow"; that is, a unidirectional conversation between a pair of hosts. Because flows are unidirectional, an important feature in NetFlow analysis software is the ability to pair the two sides of a flow to give a complete picture of the conversation.
- Other "non-key" fields are also tracked. In NetFlow version 5, the other fields are as follows. Note that not all collector software preserves all the fields.
- TCP flags (used by the router to determine the beginning and end of a TCP flow)
- Egress interface
- Timestamps
- Packet and byte count for the flow
- BGP origin AS and peer AS
- IP next-hop
- Source and destination netmask
- NetFlow v9, Cisco Flexible NetFlow, and IPFIX (the IETF flow protocol, which is very similar to NetFlow v9) allow user-defined fields that can track any part of the packet headers. IPFIX offers enough flexibility to track information about HTTP sessions, and many vendors are starting to implement this capability.
- Many vendors have defined other flow protocols that offer more or fewer capabilities, but virtually all of them duplicate at least the functions of NetFlow v5.

NetFlow v5 isn't a good web usage tracker because nowhere in the list of fields above do we see "HTTP header". The HTTP header is the part of the application layer payload that actually specifies the website and URL that's being requested. Here's a sample from another packet capture:
This is the request sent by the HTTP client (in this case the "curl" command-line HTTP utility) when accessing http://www.ubuntu.com. The header "GET / HTTP/1.1" command requests the root ("/") of the website referenced by the "Host:" field; i.e. www.ubuntu.com.
The IP address used in this request was 18.104.22.168. However if we do a reverse lookup on this address, the record returned is different:
A little search-engine-fu shows that several other websites are hosted at the same IP address:
If we do the same trick with other websites (like unroutable.blogspot.com, hosted by Google), we can easily find cases in which there are dozens of websites hosted at the same IP address.
Because NetFlow doesn't extract the HTTP header from TCP flows, we have only the IP address to go on. As we've seen here, many different websites can be hosted at the same IP address; there's no way to tell just from NetFlow whether a user visited www.canonical.com or www.ubuntu.com. Furthermore, with the most popular sites hosted on content distribution caches or cloud service providers, the reverse DNS lookups for high-bandwidth port 80 flows frequently resolve to names in networks like Akamai, Limelight, Google, Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, etc., even if those content distribution networks have nothing to do with the content of the actual website that was visited.
The bottom line is this: if you want to track what websites are visited by users on a network, NetFlow v5 isn't the best tool, or even a good one. A web proxy (e.g., Squid) or a web content filter (e.g., Websense, Cisco WSA, etc.) is a probably the best tool, since they track not only HTTP host headers but also (usually) the Active Directory username associated with the request.
Other tools that could do the job are security related tools like httpry or Bro-IDS, both of which have features for HTTP request tracking. These tools are both available in the excellent Security Onion Linux distribution.
[Edited to add] The anonymous commenter below observes that nProbe exports HTTP header information via IPFIX, and notes that some vendors have firewalls that do so as well. nProbe is an excellent free tool that takes a raw packet stream and converts it to NetFlow or IPFIX export format.

I'm 24 and I started smoking when I was 16. I did it for varying reasons over the years. I did it to be cool. I did it to fit in. I did it to relax.
I did it at school because I had something in common with the other smokers. I did it because I had tried almost everything to quit. I've tried hypnosis. (It was restful but it didn't help and cost me good money).
I've tried cold turkey. I've tried the patch and the gum. (But to me taking nicotine to get over the addiction to nicotine is kind of pointless).
So has anyone heard heard of Chantex? It's a pill that you take twice a day. It is not a nicotine substitute. I went to the doctor to discuss quitting and the doctor told me about it.
She had 5 nurses on it and they all swore it was the best thing that happened to them. It is kind of expensive because it is new and many insurance types don't cover it. It cost me about $130 per month. But I didn't even need it for a full 2 months.
When I first got it I read all the direction and warnings for it. The instructions say that you will still have the withdrawals and the anxiousness and the aggravation and stress that comes with quitting. By the time I finished reading it I was thinking "Why the hell would I take it then?" So it's a psych drug.
So you will go through all the withdrawals. But I took it anyway. And you know what... It Works! Within the first week I went from 1 1/2 packs a day to just 2 cigarettes a day. The second week I was done! I hope this helps some of you who are feeling like it can't be done. Good luck. It makes such a difference!

Applications from 1 Kings
The Story:
In this story Elijah is on his way to meet a widow. He had spoken the word of God to the people and stopped the rain. The people were being punished for serving Baal. God was going to prove to them that He was the only God. After speaking this, God sent Elijah to rest by the brook. His brook has dried up and now God tells him to go and find this
widow who will take care of him. When Elijah finds her he asks her to bring him something to drink. As she goes he asks for something to eat. She tells him that all she has is enough flour and oil to make one last meal for herself and her son then they will starve. Elijah tells her if she will make bread for him first, that God will not
allow the barrel of flour nor the cruse of oil to run out until rain comes. She did what Elijah said and sure enough she didn't run out. Twice now we are seeing that God's people have what they need when Baal cannot provide. As the rain ceased Elijah has water and is fed by the brook while the Baal worshipers are in drought. Once the brook dries up God supplies through a helpless widow.
Baal can't provide because he isn't real. God will provide.
The Application:
Elijah has just completed the single greatest thing he has ever done in his life. He walked in and turned off the rain! God sends him out by the brook…surely to retire.
But, the brook dries up and God sends him to find a widow. Elijah doesn't drop to his knees to beg God to restore the brook. He doesn't remind God of who he is and all the things he's done. He doesn't remind God that he is going to die without
water. He gets up and goes on a 100 mile trek to find this widow. He moves when God leads.
Move when God leads. Modern Christians seem to struggle with this. The brook dries up and it is obvious we don't need to be where we are anymore. God says, v.8 "Arise, get…" but we wonder if He really is finished with us here! Can I give you a very simple Bible principle? If the brook dries up you better move to water or you will die of thirst. If God tells you to "Arise, get…" He is not going to change on this because you won't move. He dried up the brook. I assume the raven stopped the food delivery. God would have sent ants or bees or whatever it took to get Elijah to move. Of course, He didn't have to with Elijah…Elijah just went.
We admire Elijah for all the wrong reasons. We love that he called fire from heaven, brought a boy back to life, etc….but God did all of that. We should admire Elijah for his obedience.
What is God going to have to send to get you to move? When the brook dries up start looking around for where God wants you to move.

Stubborn seniors are skewing the outlook for the retirement residences market in Canada by opting to stay in their own homes when they retire.
In Metro Vancouver, rising debt and the scarcity and soaring cost of seniors' housing add a dark tinge to the trend, however.
A recent survey done for HomeEquity Bank by Ipsos found that 93 per cent of Canadian homeowners aged 65 or better said they want to live in their current homes in their retirement years.
The survey, conducted between June 15 and June 18, found that 69 per cent of senior homeowners in Canada wish to maintain a sense of independence. Meanwhile, 51 per cent said that they want to stay close to family, friends, or their communities, and 40 per cent pointed at emotional attachments and memories as their motivation for staying in their own home.
This desire to age in place has resulted in higher renovation spending among older adults.
Altus Group found that homeowners aged 65 or older account for 25 per cent of all renovation spending in Canada where home equity lines of credit were used, while another 38 per cent of such spending was made by those aged 50 to 64 years old.
Separate studies suggest, however, that financial headwinds may be keeping seniors from moving on. In the Lower Mainland there are an estimated 211,000 people aged 75 or over, but there are only 15,421 rooms available in the 141 retirement homes. The resulting vacancy rate for "independent living in seniors' residences" this year is 1.8 per cent, down from 3.1 per cent in 2017, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) Senior Housing Report 2018.
The average monthly rent in the Lower Mainland for "heavy care" retirement homes, where medical supervision is provided, is now $7,419, up from $6,852 in 2017, CMHC reports, and this spikes to an average of $8,808 per month in the city of Vancouver.
For non-heavy care senior housing in Vancouver, the monthly costs range from $1,900 to $2,899 per month, but the vacancy rate is 0.6 per cent, CMHC reports, down from 0.9 per cent in 2017.
Equifax Canada, in an online survey this August by Ipsos, found that Canadians aged 65 and over are also the key drivers of the country's mortgage debt. Seniors accounted for a 59 per cent in total mortgage transactions and 91 per cent of total balances over the past five years. The survey also revealed that 27 per cent of Canadians aged 45-54 say they are not able to save money on a monthly basis.

Man Trademarks 'Welcome To Parry Sound,' Demands Money From Parry Sound Organizations
from the ah,-trademark-law deptYou may have noticed that as the field of "intellectual property law" has been getting more and more attention, those who benefit the most from it have done an effective, if misleading, job of convincing people that copyright, patents and trademark are "just like property." That's not true of course, and it's especially misleading when it comes to trademark law, which is designed to prevent consumer confusion, not to provide incentives, like copyright or patent law. But, all too frequently, we see people think that if they can somehow get a registered trademark on a term, it means they can prevent others from using it. Perhaps the most famous case was that of Leo Stoller who got trademarks on a variety of words, such as "stealth," and then started demanding everyone who used those words pay up.
It appears that Stoller is not alone in this game, and this latest example may have taken a misinterpretation of trademark law to another level altogether. Reader Project P1 points us to the news that a guy named Nick Slater was somehow able to secure a trademark on the term "Welcome to Parry Sound." Parry Sound, of course, is a small town in Ontario. Now that Slater has the trademark, he's been invoicing lots of organizations for daring to use the phrase "welcome to Parry Sound," in any way. Thankfully, the various lawyers of those invoiced have all said, clearly, that there's no trademark issue here and not to pay, but Slater isn't giving up. Town residents have been protesting by putting up "Welcome to Parry Sound" signs on their lawn, and one guy set up a "Welcome to Parry Sound" Facebook group.
Slater's response? He sent that guy an invoice as well... and then filed a takedown claim with Facebook which blindly complied.
There is no legitimate trademark claim here, but once again, we're seeing what the concept of "intellectual property" is creating, with people thinking they can own basic things like a town greeting.

MSF's outreach team leader in Dolo Zone in the Somali region of Ethiopia brought primary healthcare to patients in the most remote areas.
The Dolo Zone of northeast Ethiopia, near the border with Somalia, is a remote semi-arid desert region where communities of Somali pastoralists have their temporary homes. For six months last year, Kenyan clinician Stella Nthiga worked there as the outreach team leader responsible for 11 Doctors Without Borders (MSF) primary healthcare outreach posts.
"These communities are nomadic pastoralists who rear animals such as camels, goats and sheep. In such a dry region where there are only a few wells, people moved from one place to another looking for water for pasture," she says. "What MSF did was target the areas where people moved to find water, and set up outreach clinics to treat them where they were."
From MSF's health centre in Danod and a bureau of health hospital in Wardher that MSF supports, Stella and seven colleagues would load themselves into one vehicle, with a week's worth of supplies – including drugs and equipment – packed into another. They would then venture out to do daily interventions which included maternal and child care, immunisations and nutrition treatment.
While some outposts had small buildings in place, in at least half of them, the team had to set up temporary structures in which to treat their daily patients. "At first, in some locations, we even did consultations under a tree," Stella recalls.
Many of these communities settle in isolated areas, some over 80km away from any medical care. "If you expect everyone to come walking all the way to the health centre, they will never come. I think it's better to go out to them every day than being in one main structure waiting for the people."
Stella believes in taking a proactive approach to her work – going out to find the patients where they live, doing health promotion in the communities MSF serves, and empowering teams of local staff and community members to make stronger decisions in the face of a challenge.
"I'm more concerned with prevention than just cure. I understand that in these remote contexts we might not reach everyone. So I think it's best for people to own their own health. And I used that approach as a way to empower people," she says.
'With MSF, I feel I am giving the best to the patient'
Across the region, Stella's a main concern was the low number of pregnant women they would encounter. Because of the far distances patients would need to travel to get to a hospital, most chose to deliver their babies at home – even women with complicated pregnancies. As a result, the team piloted the idea of 'homestays' for especially at-risk pregnant women to live near the hospital until they delivered.
"We convinced these pregnant women that since they needed to come from far we would provide a home near the hospital where they could stay together and be monitored in their last month. I personally made up a small room at Danod health centre to start the first homestay. The structure was already there – one of the outpatient rooms– I put two mattresses down, cleaned it up and it was ready to be a homestay for the two first women we brought in."
Stella also led a community driven health promotion project which used songs and drama to educate the population about disease prevention. "There was a song we taught the community about good hygiene, a song about the Five Fs: 'fingers, flies, faeces, fluids, food'. We taught it to a few children at first and soon we heard everyone singing it randomly. They had all taught each other!" she says.
"The communities were able to take up the messages from health educators and make them their own, in their own contexts and in their own language. It was the most meaningful thing for me to just be able to work with these communities, to see people adapting and accepting, and getting into a system where they are now able to help themselves."
"I see my work as a calling," Stella says. "For me, when a patient is well and happy and going home – especially the ones who were really, really sick, but who are now running and walking when you discharge them – that's the best feeling."
"When I see a smile on a patient's face who has recovered, it gives me a lot of satisfaction. With MSF, I get that. When I work with MSF I feel like I am giving the best to patients with the greatest needs. If I was in their position, that's the care I would like to receive; I'd want MSF to be helping me. So giving that help gives me that satisfaction. I know I am able to reach those people who really have no one and nothing else."

Wires… wires everywhere a wire. Connecting all the electronics breaking my mind… Well, I tried to make it to the tune of a popular 70s song. There are many wires and cables out in this world today, and one the has a lot of people confused is the infamous DVI cable. This cable, one of the first all-digital consumer video transfer cables, comes in many forms, and not many people realize it.
Let's go down the line on what those different little sets of pins mean:
DVI-D – The "D" stands for "Digital." Has a single bar on the left, 2 sets of 3×3 smaller pins on the right hand side. This is used for pure digital connections. You cannot plug an analog connection (like a DVI to VGA adapter) into a plug like this.
DVI-A – The "A" stands for "Analog." Has 4 pins around the single bar on the left with scattered pins all throughout the right. This is used for analog connections. Most DVI connections have this ability built into other modes, such as the next configuration…
DVI-I Single Link – The "I" stands for "Integrated." Like the DVI-D, it has the bar on the left, the 2 sets of 3×3 smaller pins on the right but it also has 4 pins surrounding the bar. Those 4 pins, in addition to others, transfer the analog signal and can be used with an analog adapter (like DVI to VGA.)
DVI-D Dual Link – Much like the DVI-D Single Link, except now the entire middle is filled in with 9 more pins, giving all 27 slots a fill for a full dual connection. A dual link card can operate 2 individual monitors out of one DVI port. You will need a special adapter to take advantage of this feature. Because it is pure digital, an analog adapter will not work with this type of connection. To do that, you will need the last type of connection…
DVI-I Dual Link – Just like the DVI-I Dual Link, but you can use it as an analog output as well. A DVI to VGA adapter will work just fine on a card with this output.

Miss Leslie's Secret
by Jennifer MoorePublished by Covenant Communications
Publication Date September 1, 2017
Genres: Clean Romance, Historical Fiction
Setting: Scotland Written for: Adults
Pages: 240
Decorated war hero Conall Stewart has spent ten years envisioning his return to his beloved Scottish Highlands. But now, with the days of battle finally behind him, it seems that his dreams of home have been in vain: the land of his youth lies in ruins, and his family is gone. Though he will never stop searching for his kin, Conall knows he must begin again. But when he takes on a rented farm in a nearby town, he finds far more than the fresh start he was looking for . . . After catching a mischievous local lad stealing, Conall returns young Jamie to his mother, Aileen Leslie—and finds the woman's coddling of the child maddening. What Conall does not realize is that Aileen hides a frightening secret: her devoted protection of Jamie is all that shelters them from discovery by a dangerous man from their past. Drawn together by circumstance, Conall soon develops a fatherly relationship with Jamie—as well as romantic feelings for Aileen. But even as the couple accepts their growing affection for one another, time runs out for Aileen and her son: after years of hiding, they have been found. Conall lost his family once—he will do all in his power not to let history repeat itself . . ..

Aileen opened the door and drew back with a gasp. Sergeant Stewart stood at the threshold, one large hand holding Jamie by the arm. The child twisted trying to escape his grip.
"Good evening. Mrs. Leslie, I presume?" His voice was polite in spite of his angry expression. He inclined his head but did not loose his hold. "May I speak to your husband?"
"No, you may not." Aileen's hands tightened into fists. "And I'll thank ye to release my son immediately, or I shall call for the constable.
What is the meaning of this, sir?"
Sergeant Stewart's eyes widened for an instant, then his expression returned to a scowl. "Madam, perhaps 'tis I who should call the constable." He glared down at Jamie. "I discovered this lad sneaking aboot my library."
"Unhand him at once."
The sergeant released his hold, and Jamie ran toward her. She clasped him in her arms. He appeared unharmed, only frightened.
"Jamie, mo croí. My love, did he hurt ye?"
Jamie shook his head and moved behind Aileen, burying his face against her skirts.
The sight of tears on his freckled cheeks made heat boil up inside her. She turned toward the man in the doorway. "Have ye no decency a'tall? Treatin' a wee child like a criminal." She jabbed a finger toward his face. "Yer library? And what would ye accuse him of then? Tievin'yer books?"
"Éist! Listen!" He held up a hand, stopping her rant.
Aileen hadn't realized that, in her anger, she'd switched to speaking Gaelic until he answered in the same. Just as well. She considered it a far more suitable language for an argument.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Jon Gold
But were afraid to ask.
The truth is, I'm an American. My name is Jon Gold. I was born in Philadelphia in 1972. I am 36 years old. I'm a graphic designer and a web developer for a small company. I play the drums, I have a cat named after my Grandmother, I like comic books, I like music, I like movies, I like boating, I like eating out, I find things like Egypt (other ancient ruins), and history interesting, I live in an apartment, and I drive a reasonably nice car.
Gold does not tell us where he comes down on the "long walks along the beach" question. And get this brush with greatness:
In September 2004, I went to the 9/11 People's Commission in Washington D.C. and helped John Judge with all of his materials. I also ran in and out to put change in the parking meter for him.
Judge of course is one of the pioneers of 9-11 Troof, which means that nobody's heard from him in years. Here's a list of his speaking engagements, last updated in 2005.

SANFORD, Fla. – Seminole County deputies say burglars were caught in the act after an alert neighbor spotted a car pulling up to a home in the Tall Trees subdivision in Sanford on Tuesday afternoon.
The caller told deputies she saw a brown Toyota Camry, occupied by four men, backed up to a house on Greylock Court.
"I want to report some suspicious activity in our neighborhood," said the woman who called 911. "We came back from a bike ride, a neighbor and I and saw a strange car sitting in the middle of the cul-de-sac with four young guys."
Deputies arrested 18-year-old Jose Oquendo, 18-year-old Marcus Staffelbach, 21-year-old Anthony Thomas, 18-year-old Tevin Cosby and two juveniles that attempted to burglarize the home by smashing a rear window.
Local 6 spoke to a neighbor that caught the men walking by on his security cameras.
"That car was sitting on the wrong side of the road for five minutes. If someone does that in our neighborhood, someone's going to call the police."
When deputies arrived, the men had already scattered, so they set up a perimeter and started the search.
The men were found running in the Savannah Park subdivision and two were arrested immediately. The other pair continued to run, hiding in open garages of nearby homes.
They were also eventually caught.
The final two were caught in a second car deputies believe was also involved and were arrested.
The woman who made the 911 call told the Sheriff's Office she wants to remain anonymous.

Enthusiastic metaphysical juices
From Rhaworth
Enthusiastic metaphysical juices, or EMJs are body fluids that are believed by some Quakers to flow through the human soul. EMJs usually make up other metaphysical proporties of the human body, including the mind. If they start to clot, or become diseased, it can result in paranoia, orthonoia, depression, and insanity.
The first recorded case of a disease of the EMJs was in 2007, on someone who claimed that Enthusiastic Metaphysical Juices were leaking out of their soul. They were thought to have Metaphysical Autoimpulsory Dibilitation Syndrome, or MAIDS. Their soul was having trouble keeping the EMJs in, and it was resulting in depression. There is no known cure for MAIDS yet.
Some Quakers are trying to figure out a way to donate EMJs to those who have or may have had MAIDS at one point in their life.* So far, there has been no progress whatsoever, but they are sure to find a way to do it sometime or another.

- Abstract
- Aims: To explore the lived experience of resuscitation team members involved in notifying family members when a patient dies following a resuscitation event in an Iranian cultural context. Background: Death notification to the family is indeed a difficult and an important issue for resuscitation team members. The way health professionals deliver news to family members should incorporate elements of sensitivity, timing and adequate clinical explanations with emphasis on the efforts made by the professionals during the resuscitation. Design: A phenomenological study. Method: Over a period of 5 months (June 2016–November 2016) eleven nurses and six physicians were interviewed using an in-depth interview process applying Van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological approach for data collection and analysis. The participants were recruited from six tertiary hospitals in Tabriz, Iran. Findings: There were two main themes that emerged from the data analysis including: "contributing factors on the impact of notification" and "notification strategies". A further 13 subthemes emerged under the main themes. Several culturally related issues emerged with the participants feeling more comfortable informing male rather than female relatives about the death of the patient following a resuscitation. Conclusions: Notifying family members of a patient's death is a stressful and culturally sensitive task for the resuscitation team members. The nature of the patient's presenting condition, together with the various resuscitation interventions can result in relatives responding unpredictably. Providing health professionals with the appropriate training and skills to effectively communicate with family members will ensure that the families' level of preparedness, understanding and cultural beliefs are taken into consideration. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons Ltd
