Even though you dropped lots of albums still some northern Cali rap fans are not familiar with your music. Therefore we'll start from the very beginning.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: Tell us about Oak Park, Sacramento. Did you grow up in there? Do you still live there?
[ C-Dubb ] : Oak Park is gutter and grimy... One of the oldest neighborhoods in Sac.. It's home though...
[ BayUndaground.com ]: How did you find yourself rapping? Did anyone convince you to rap & rhyme? Or did you just grab the mic and started spitting heat?
[ C-Dubb ] : I just started writing raps for fun when I was 11. From there I finally recorded my first track, then I wanted everyone to hear me, so I just kept making music and plotted droppin' a tape.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: And where does the alias "C-Dubb" come from?
[ C-Dubb ] : C.W. - my initials.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: Tell us something about your debut material - the "California" project, released originally only on tape.
[ C-Dubb ] : I made "Kalifornia" because I wanted to get my name out here and be heard... We pressed 500 tapes... I might be able to track down one or 2 copies, not sure though.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: Nine years ago you dropped "The Story Of The Struggle" - your first official cd record. How would you describe the project? How did you hook up with San Quinn and Sky Balla from SFC? Back in the days you weren't that famous.
[ C-Dubb ] : "Story Of The Sturggle"...hmm, I remember just calling the Get Low Records office number they had on one of their tapes and Quinn hit me back. We did it just like that, when he came down, he brought Sky to the labb... I don't remember that well though... lol. We actually made that song in '95 before "Kalifornia" was even recorded.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: That cd included both laidback, party time slappers but also deep, more sophisticated tracks like "Fuck My Life" or "I Wonder Why". How do you think, why most of the artists avoid expressing deeper thoughts and touching on serious subjects nowadays?
[ C-Dubb ] : I don't know, maybe everyone is just looking for that next radio single or somethin' easy and catchy... A lot of cats are afraid to spill from the heart nowadays... I try to do a little of everything, but real shit never gets played out to me.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: How did you hook up with Killa Valley label? It was your first enterprise with a bigger label. From today's perspective: how was it working with them?
[ C-Dubb ] : Killa Valley is good folks. I got with them right before Bayside went under so we didn't get a chance to do anything other then the 1 project. But it did well and opened new doors for me. I actually hooked up with KVE through Siccness.net, or maybe it was BART back then...
[ BayUndaground.com ]: What's up with you and R.I.T.Z.? How did you 2 hook up? Are you planning to work with him in future in terms of recording a collaboration project?
[ C-Dubb ] : R.I.T.Z. is the homie I grew up with... He's a good dude.. He kinda just raps for fun... We'll definitely do some more shit together... When he feels like it... hahahhaha
[ BayUndaground.com ]: Tell us about your deal with Sovereign Records. Who runs the label ? Who's in it?
[ C-Dubb ] : Sovereign is me and my brother Rich. He helps me a lot and we will always drop shit together.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: You've also worked with E-Moe and dropped a double album under his belt. What can you tell about this release? Why did you drop the album under Eighty8 name?
[ C-Dubb ] : E-Moe wanted to call it Eighty8 since I had the Eighty8muzik (Beat production label), I really don;t know why. Bizness made sense so we did it.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: Your two first Sovereign cds were more underground than let's say "Shock Treatment" or "Veteran Status". What changed since then?
[ C-Dubb ] : Just tryin' new things, experimenting a lil here and there, local radio was playing my shit so I tried some more mainstreamish type shit... I like to try all styles of rap. I love underground Sac mobb shit though... That's where it's at for me.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: You're planning to release a new solo cd called "The Trunk Full Of Dope", which is about to be presented by Lil Coner. How did you two hook up? Why did you choose Lil Coner - you're recording a totally different rap, representing two different places and styles?
[ C-Dubb ] : It's a win for both of us. Opens me up to a new market and him as well. And I was featured on one of his old projects ("Balled Out Vol.1") and a lot of people loved that track. People still hit me to this day about that track... So we made a deal to drop my new shit under Connected Inc. /Eighty8muzik...
[ BayUndaground.com ]: How is it possible that you dropped that many cds in a decade while for others making an album is a never ending story? What's the recipe for a successful cycle of creating a rap album?
[ C-Dubb ] : Honestly, I ask myself that question. I don't understand how it's so hard for cats to put together a quality album. I breathe this shit and I'm very prolific. So it's 2nd nature to me. I can write fast, record fast and make beats fast. It's honestly nothin'. I ain't tryin' to toot my own horn, but it's just natural.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: Many rappers say it's impossible to earn for a living just from rapping. After releasing about 10 cds in your career is it still hard to get good money from music?
[ C-Dubb ] : This game is always a struggle when you're independent. But I found different ways to eat off music. Cd sales is only one way to get it, I also book and throw my own shows, sell beats and verses, rent studio time out and just hustle and network out here. I got my hands in a lot of shit out here in Sac, so when other people got situations they workin', sometimes I'm making money off it just being the silent middle man. Believe it or not, I got a lot of plugs... Being independent, you gotta find ways to eat...
[ BayUndaground.com ]: Let's come back to Oak Park for a while. Who else records in that district? Have you ever planned to work with those more known people like Big Slep Rock or Bad Business?
[ C-Dubb ] : Yea I got nothin' but respect for Slep and Bad Business for reppin' this shit and droppin' quality shit. Others from the P are Relly Rel, Lil Tim & Nick, Ma-Lace, Rez just to name a few.
[ BayUndaground.com ]: So apart from the upcoming "The Trunk Full Of Dope" what else can fans expect in 2010?
[ C-Dubb ] : 2010 is going to be dope. I recently signed with X-Raided's Blocstar Ent. It's an honor to have a legend like X in my corner. We are working on a group album right now called "Bloc Bizness" with myself, X-Raided, Gangsta Reese and B.Parker. After that I will be featured on X-Raided's albums and have more solo shit coming. Also Sovereign Records will be droppin some shit too. A best of called "Mobb Hits" etc. There will be a lot of C-Dubb shit coming soon... Thanks

This month a very calming and demure interior resultant of another successful collaboration between Robson Rak Architects and interior design firm Made by Cohen. Elwood House is a soothing retreat that draws upon classic interior elements and combines them with a light, contemporary touch to create spaces that feel warm and weightless.
Interior Design Focus // Robson Rak Architects & Made by Cohen
Colour // Cool White
This month I decided to be really bold and feature … white! In one way it seems a bit inside out and backward to feature such a colour here – in a realm that is all about rich saturation, depth, and character – and yet in another it seems essential given white's huge popularity and its vast array of subtle undertones that can be close to imperceptible to identify and therefore implement to the untrained eye. So here I feature cool white, if not purely as an exploration of just one side of white's character. I'd say that there are at least several broad categories of white that I could deal with, but starting with this one just seems right on a warm, sunny, breezy October day like today.
Architecture Focus // Adrian Amore Architects
I got a bit excited when I saw this lovely little Paddington house by Adrian Amore Architects – for two reasons. Firstly, I have just realised that of all the focus I put on wonderful, contemporary, Australian Architecture, I have not yet featured a house from my home state of NSW – travesty! And then I noticed that AAArchitects are based in Melbourne; their Paddington house simply being a tasty diversion from their usual Melbourne-centric architectural works… I guess the NSW feature will have to come later!

One of my favorite accessories has to be a simple yet chic scarf. It's so easy and simple yet adds SO much to any outfit. My newest fashion obsession is the light jersey fabric circle scarf. They are perfect for the beautiful spring days and can spice up any simple outfit or just add an extra accessory. The best part? You literally just throw it on and go! So great for those on the go days or dates when you just want that extra touch!
Here are some to get you inspired!

La Roche-Posay Pure Vitamin C10 30ml is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mariam from Fantastic product. This is the first time I've use La Roche Posay. This serum has changed the appearance of my skin. Improved texture and quality. My skins looks amazing! I've even had compliments on my skin. I have recommended this product to my friends. Would definitely be ordering this again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Charstone from Did not suit my hyper-sensitive skin It is always trial and error with my skin. This was an error. Although formulated for senstivie skin, it just did not work for me. My usual red, itchy chin appeared - even when only using twice a week. I did not like the smell. It reminds me of self-tanners. I also have a very senstive nose!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sunshine107 from Appealing Vit C serum I've never used a Vitamin C serum before, but after having undergone IPL laser on my face for pigmentation I was advised to try one out by my therapist, she said Vit C serum help to brighten the skin. This serum by La Roche-Posay not only smells lovely it also glides over the skin like silk, the serum sinks in quite quickly too. I am not sure if I've noticed much difference, possibly skin tone is more even but then I've recently had IPL, I have only been using this product a few weeks, but I do like the smell and texture.

I always thought my family was incredibly nosey. I recall incidents when my mother or father would pick up the receiver of another house phone to interrupt my call with my school friend to tell me it was time for dinner. Or, the countless teachers I had that caught me talking in class or doing something silly behind their backs, supporting the theory that teachers have eyes in the backs of their heads. Even my grandmother, on nights I had my girlfriend over to watch a movie, would walk into the room with impecable timing to offer us cookies…or something. (That girlfriend, by the way, is now my wife…and we now laugh at those moments.) Nosey, nosey people. Right?
I'm finding as I get older, that the people I once thought were gettin' "up in my grill" (to use the street vernacular) were actually just acutely aware. It has come to my attention (pun intended) that society as we know it has becaome less and less aware of themselves. I could put a spin on this post by going on and on about the various medias that probe our minds, or the various technological influences that control our every move. (Of course, I could simply type this post on my iPad, iPhone or one of my three computers. I could even text it in if I wanted to…but that would take too long, and I have crops to harvest on Farmville and tweets to twit on Twitter. So…yeah.)
Instead, I think I'll let you all assume that the bulk of this post has to do with the fact that times, they are a'changin'…and let's agree that there are MANY reasons/influences that could be blamed. I'm satisfied with this. I'm not trying to nail down a culprit here. I guess you could say my goal was to merely bring awareness to the fact that we aren't as aware as we once were. Allow me to elaborate. Here are some every day examples of how society demonstrates that they aren't aware:
- TURN SIGNALS – It's a common argument (when discussing driving etiquette) but I truly have noticed (say in the last three years) that more and more drivers simply don't use their turn signals. Back roads, main roads, highways, drive ways…it's absolutely astounding to me. I tried to break into the psychological reasoning behind it. The result is a very selfish one. If you think about it, the only reason a turn signal exists is to ensure the safety of others, primarily. To NOT use it…means that the driver cares MORE about whatever they are doing inside the car (or not doing, for that matter!) is MORE important that the safety and ultimately the concern of others. That's very bad. Watch the next few times you are driving…you'll see what I mean. People aren't using their signals! I looked it up…when turning left or right onto any roadway, parkway or driveway, a driver must have their turn signal on at least 100 feet before the turn. Failure to do so can result in a ticket. Come on police….let's nab 'em!!!!
- WALKING – Okay, I live in Vegas. One of the busiest cities in the world (especially when it comes to tourism.) But, with that said, I don't think it is too much to ask to be courteous when you are walking around in public. I cannot begin to tell you the number of times I've been walking down the aisle of the grocery store and someone (in this example, a crazed Steelers fan with red glasses and Crocs) is walking right toward me….and nearly takes me out like a freakin' hockey player, only to (seconds before) look up, shoot me a dirty look and walk away. Most of the time these people are on their cell phones, or texting. But sometimes it's a general focus issue. Take the little kid with the dirty face I met in the parking lot today. I was walking into a store and was nearly thrown to the pavement when he swiped my left leg. He turned and looked at me like I was insane…but what was worse was the mother who just walked by and said NOTHING to him. Just kept walking. I could easily chalk these experiences as being merely rude…but the FOCUS is gone. If these people were aware that they are positing themselves in public areas, where others are co-existing, then we can all go about our days safely. I blame zombie movies. We've all adopted that particular mind set, I guess.
- CLOSING DOORS – When you walk through a door…do not presume that there is no one behind you. Actually look…then if there is, I don't care how rushed you are…hold it for them. Adults and students alike…you are guilty as charged.
- PLEASANTRIES – This is a personal pet peeve of mine. We're all busy. I'm constantly buzzing from one place to another. But, if I'm in a hall walking from point A to point B, and I pass a fellow teacher or a student….or God forbid, a stranger…and I say "good morning," or "hello,"….is the sky going to rain down fire and brimstone if you answer back with a pleasantry? I'm in awe at this. This social formality is probably the easiest to fix. Just remember, you are not alone in this world…there are others…and sometimes they are nice people who are just trying to be nice. Try to turn on your "common courtesy radar" and drop a "good morning" every now and then. For the love of all that is holy, it won't kill you!
- TIME – To all the people of the world: I promise you, I will never presume that my schedule is more jam-packed than yours, if you promise to keep in mind, that in this busy busy life, we all have places to go and people to see. Please be aware of what is going on in the big picture for everyone…not just you. Try not to monopolize time. Try not to presume others have access time to spare. And most of all, don't drop by unannounced. Unless you're a beloved friend with a cute daughter who brightens our day with a little smile from next door…It really puts people in awkward situations when they are forced to choose: either accommodate this interruption and figure out a way to work it into what you have already planned on doing, or tell them to leave. For non-confrontation people like me…this is very trying at times.
- INSTANT INFORMATION – I would say that students today get exactly what they want…when they want it. Every day, without fail, students walk into my classroom and say, "what are we doing today?" Patience is a fruit of the spirit, and I guarantee these children….they WILL indeed find out in mere minutes. But, no. They NEED to know right now. (Why? Because when they NEED to know something, they are so accustomed to getting that info instantly.) When watching a Charlie Chaplin movie with my Clowning & Puppetry class, a student goes "what's going to happen to him"…right in the middle of the movie. Just shouts it out. I replied "wait and see." "But, is he going to jail?" They asked. "Just wait and see." "Yeah…but, is he going to jail?" I don't exaggerate. If the student was patient, and watched with 100% focus / awareness….they would receive all the info they need to watch the movie.

This medicine is a colorless syringe and is manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis US LLC.
Lovenox is a clear, colorless to pale yellow sterile solution, and as with other parenteral drug products, should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.
The use of a tuberculin syringe or equivalent is recommended when using Lovenox multiple-dose vials to assure withdrawal of the appropriate volume of drug.
Lovenox must not be administered by intramuscular injection. Lovenox is intended for use under the guidance of a physician.
For subcutaneous administration, patients may self-inject only if their physicians determine that it is appropriate and with medical follow-up, as necessary. Proper training in subcutaneous injection technique (with or without the assistance of an injection device) should be provided.
Subcutaneous Injection Technique: Patients should be lying down and Lovenox administered by deep SC injection. To avoid the loss of drug when using the 30 and 40 mg prefilled syringes, do not expel the air bubble from the syringe before the injection. Administration should be alternated between the left and right anterolateral and left and right posterolateral abdominal wall. The whole length of the needle should be introduced into a skin fold held between the thumb and forefinger; the skin fold should be held throughout the injection. To minimize bruising, do not rub the injection site after completion of the injection.
Lovenox prefilled syringes and graduated prefilled syringes are for single, one-time use only and are available with a system that shields the needle after injection.

If you buy something through a link on this page, we may earn a small commission. How this works.
Taste, one of the five senses, is a combination of various sensations that tell the brain how something tastes.
Along with thousands of sensory organs called taste buds and taste papillae on the tongue, smell, texture, and temperature also play large roles in taste. Someone with a stuffy nose may not be able to enjoy their favorite meal because an important part in creating that taste is impaired.
With the information the tongue sends to the brain, the brain sorts taste into five basic categories: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savory. It's a common mistake that taste buds only register certain tastes on certain regions of the tongue.
Because there are many factors involved in the sense of taste, taste disorders can be a result of various different conditions or bodily imbalances. Metallic taste, or dysgeusia, can occur as the body responds to a foreign substance. It can also be a warning sign of other health problems.
There are a number of common things that can cause a metallic taste. Some are more serious than others but most can be resolved easily or will go away on their own.
Metallic taste in someone who is otherwise healthy isn't usually cause for alarm, says Dr. Michael Rabovsky, a family medicine physician at the Cleveland Clinic. Here is a list of common causes behind metallic taste:
Poor oral health
Those who don't brush or floss regularly may experience a metallic taste due to gingivitis, periodontitis, or tooth infection. These issues can cause people to bleed after they brush or floss, sometimes resulting in metallic taste.
These issues can also cause more serious infections in the teeth and gums. Dentists can give a prescription drug to clear up infections, after which the metallic taste should go away.
Regular dental cleanings and routine work will help to prevent or treat these issues before they get worse. Recent wisdom tooth removal surgery can also cause a metallic taste.
Sinus problems
Because the senses of smell and taste are so closely tied together, sinus issues can impair the ability to taste or cause a metallic taste. A blocked nose is one sign of a sinus issue. Once the sinus problems go away, the metallic taste should as well.
These problems are generally very common and include:
- Common cold
- Sinus infection
- Allergies
- Nasal polyps
- Middle ear or other upper respiratory infections
- Recent middle ear surgery
Prescription drugs
Sometimes prescription drugs can cause an aftertaste as the body is absorbing them. Metallic taste can also occur if someone experiences dry mouth as a side effect of their medication.
Some common drugs that are known to cause a metallic taste include:
- Antibiotics
- Antidepressants and other psychiatric medications
- Blood pressure medications
- Glaucoma medications
- Antifungal medications
- Steroids
- Nicotine patches
- Diuretic medications
- Antihistamine medications
- Osteoporosis medications
Cancer treatment therapies
Taste changes are a common side effect of cancer therapies like chemotherapy and radiation to the head and neck. These treatments can cause damage to the taste buds and salivary glands, sometimes resulting in a metallic taste.
This change is temporary, and a normal sense of taste should return eventually. Macmillan Cancer Support offer a fact sheet of tips to help people enjoy foods as normally as possible.
Vitamins with heavy metals such as copper, zinc, or chromium can be the cause of a metallic taste. Prenatal vitamins, iron, or calcium supplements can also result in the same problem.
The taste should go away as the body absorbs the vitamins, but it's best to check the dosage to make sure the correct amount is taken.
Some women report a change in taste and smell in the early stages of their pregnancy. This is due to hormonal changes occurring in the body.
Along with a metallic taste, a change in cravings or a dislike for certain foods is also common for pregnant women. In this case, the metallic taste tends to go away with time.
People with dementia can sometimes experience taste changes like a metallic taste. Because the taste buds send signals to the brain, taste changes can occur if part of the brain is not working properly.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
A metallic taste in the mouth can sometimes be a symptom of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an autoimmune disease that affects the peripheral nervous system.
A 2003 review stated that this can be due to the dysfunction of small nerve fibers.
Other allergies
Some allergies cause sinus problems, which can then cause a metallic taste. However, there are some other allergens said to cause metallic taste. Tree pollen, tree nuts, and shellfish are among these.
Anyone who is unaware of any food allergies but has eaten or been exposed to these foods and experiences a metallic taste should let their doctor know.
Kidney failure
Kidney failure is one of the more serious causes of dysgeusia. A metallic taste is also fairly common in people with diabetes, which can then lead to kidney failure.
About 30 percent of patients with type 1 diabetes and 10 to 40 percent of patients with type 2 diabetes will eventually have kidney failure, according to the National Kidney Foundation.
Waste buildup in the kidneys can result in bad breath or loss of appetite, causing a metallic taste.
If someone receives medication for a cause of a metallic taste and it remains, it could be a sign of a more serious problem. Also, if anyone has had a recent sinus or dental problem or has any of the pre-existing conditions mentioned above but the metallic taste remains, it's best to see a doctor right away.
A metallic taste can cause loss of appetite. This can lead to weight loss, poor nutrition, depression, and even a weakened immune system if not treated.
For seniors, an untreated metallic taste could also be a sign of a central nervous disorder, such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease.
A doctor may refer someone to an otolaryngologist, a doctor who specializes in diseases of the ear, nose, and throat. The first step in diagnosing the cause behind metallic taste will involve some basic tests, including:
- A physical exam of the ears, nose, and throat
- A dental exam to determine oral hygiene
- A review of general health history
- A taste test to diagnose any taste disorders
The taste test may involve comparing tastes of different items to determine the ability to pick up on changes in taste intensity. Additionally, the doctor may ask patients to do a "sip, spit, and rinse" test. Similar exams may be involved in order to diagnose any taste disorders causing the dysgeusia.
If the specialist thinks the metallic taste is the result of an issue affecting the nerves in the mouth or head, they may order an X-ray. If it's a sinus issue, other imaging tests may be ordered.
Depending on the final diagnosis, the doctor may prescribe medication to relieve the metallic taste. If they suspect a serious condition, they may refer the patient to another specialist, arrange more exams, or prescribe medication for the underlying cause.
Doctors may offer some advice on how to change eating, drinking, or lifestyle habits to help a metallic taste go away on its own. People can also try to:
- Drink more water (except if the underlying cause is kidney failure)
- Try various spices and marinades with their food
- Avoid smoking
- Brush their teeth and floss after eating. Dental floss is available to purchase online.
- Chew sugar-free gum or eat sugar-free mints. A range of products are available to purchase online.

So Janathon ended the way it begun
Out in the pouring rain having a run.
The good news is I'm getting so much faster,
This come back plan I'm starting to master.
I've sweat blood and tears and got covered in mud
I've been out in all weathers, like a true runner should.
I've cycled, squatted, pushed up and crunched
I've walked and I've planked, and boy have I munched!!!
So now Janathons ending and now I'm so much fitter,
And I've blogged about it all with a moan and a witter.
I'm recovering from the surgery and over the moon.
So many thanks Janthon -I'll see you in June!!!
1 mile in 8:20 minutes -wahoo!!!
160 crunches
90 seconds planking
Off for a vino to celebrate
Bring it on!!!

Mama is obsessed with my shadow. Obsessed, I tell ya!
When we happen to be out at just the right time, with just the right light, she goes nuts. Picture upon picture upon picture. She's a little bit crazy (perhaps you already noticed that), but I do indulge her from time to time. Today is not going to be one of those times.
I am a man on a mission – wielding my trusty sticks (of which I have gathered several of the best specimens in my mighty jaws) and heading for my park.
Are you gonna just stand there, or are you going to come along mama?
You basically have one final shot at this before I commence chomping. So make it good.
Mmm… STICKS.

Regarded as one of Scotland's most popular writers, Sir Walter Scott produced an exemplary body of work, notably his famous Waverley novels.
Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh on the 15th of August 1771. He was born in a house on College Wynd where the Old College building of Edinburgh University now stands. He was the 9th child of Walter Scott, writer to the Signet, and Anne Rutherford. At the age of two he contracted polio which rendered him lame for the rest of his life, often walking with a limp. To attempt to cure his illness, he was sent to live with his grandfather, Robert Scott, at Sandyknowe, near Smailholm, in the Scottish Borders. It was his time spent at Smailholm where he developed his love of the Borders. In 1778 he returned to Edinburgh. By now the Scott family were living in grander accommodation at 25 George Square.
Early career
Scott began his education in October 1779 at the High School of Edinburgh. His education was interrupted by a period of ill health and he was again sent to Sandyknowe. One year later he returned to the city and to his studies. In 1786, he was apprenticed to his father's law firm; however he soon decided he wanted to become a lawyer and returned to Edinburgh University where he qualified as an advocate in 1792. He practiced as an Advocate in Edinburgh where he dealt with more provincial matters, his first Edinburgh case not presented until 1795.
When Scott met Burns
The only known meeting between Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns took place during the winter of 1786/87. At a house on Sciennes House Place they both attended the literary salon of Scott's university friend Adam Ferguson. This meeting had a lasting impression on the young Walter Scott.
Family life
Scott married French-born Charlotte Carpenter in Carlisle on the 24th of December 1797. Following the wedding, they moved into rented accommodation at 50 George Square, Edinburgh. Their first child, Sophia, was born in 1799 prompting Scott to seek more stable means of employment. He successfully petitioned Henry Dundas, controller of Crown patronage in Scotland, for the position of Sheriff-depute of Selkirkshire. Between 1801 and 1806, Charlotte gave birth to three more children; Walter, Anne and Charles. The growing in size of the family meant Scott had to find more sizable accommodation and so built 39 Castle Street in Edinburgh's New Town. It was this house that was to become Scott's winter residence. Scott was to also have properties in Lasswade on the banks of the River Esk and also Ashestiel near Selkirk but he eventually found a prized home in Cartley Hole Farm near Melrose, which he was to rename Abbotsford.
Scott the Writer
Since childhood, Scott had maintained a strong interest in the literary world. He wrote his own poetry as well as collecting celebrated works by Shakespeare and Fielding. At university he formed the Poetry Society and was an avid member of the Literary Society. His position as the Sheriff-depute allowed him considerable time to work on his poems and novels and also gave him ample time to collect various ballads pertaining to the Borders. Regarded as his first major piece of work, 'The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border' was published in 1800 though it wasn't until the release of 'The Lady of the Last Minstrel' in 1805 that he was to find popular acclaim. Scott's status as a writer was rising and demand grew for his works. 'Marmion' was published in 1807 selling 28,000 copies over three years. It was followed three years later by 'The Lady of the Lake' which broke all previous sales records and proved his popularity in Britain as well as the United States of America.
The Waverley Novels
In 1814, Walter Scott published his first novel Waverley. This was to become a series of novels, each depicting periods of Scotland's history. Scott's romantic view of Scottish history gave rise to the boom in tourism throughout the Victorian period as his books became popular with new audiences. The 'Waverley' novels, as they became known, spanned 28 books including well known titles such as 'The Heart of Midlothian', 'Ivanhoe' and 'Rob Roy'. The last volume was published in 1831 shortly before his death. Scott published most of his works alongside his childhood friend James Ballantyne, whom he met at Sandyknowe. Scott became a silent partner in Ballatyne's publishing company, successfully encouraging him to move his works from Kelso to Edinburgh. It was a business relationship that saw Ballantyne become his publisher and editor.
Financial Ruin
Due in part to Scott's passion for his home at Abbotsford, which he frequently extended and renovated, he built up sizeable levels of debt. He would have lost Abbotsford had he not signed over ownership to his son. To raise vital funds he sought advancement in royalties for books not yet published. This was a risky strategy that paid off as his popularity as a writer continued into the late 1820s.
Visit of George IV
In 1822 King George IV made the first visit to Edinburgh by any monarch since the mid-17th century. As a baronet, awarded for the discovery of the 'Honours of Scotland' in 1818, Sir Walter Scott was instrumental in organising the royal visit, promoting the best of what Scotland had to offer. It was during this visit that the wearing of the kilt once again became popular.
Scott's Death
In May 1826, Scott's wife, Charlotte, died. He channelled his energies into his writing to pay off debts amounting to £140,000. This was to the detriment of his health. In the final years of his life he suffered a stroke and haemorrhaging as the strain of his personal life and his finances took hold. Sir Walter Scott died on the 21st of September 1832 and was buried next to his wife at Dryburgh Abbey. His debts were eventually paid off following posthumous sales of his novels and collections of poetry.
Sir Walter Scott remembered
In the years following his death, a subscription was raised for the building of a national monument to honour Scott as one of Scotland's greatest writers. Designed by George Meikle Kemp, the Scott Monument was opened in August 1844.

After bagging the Fil Oil Cup crown last summer, UE was effortlessly tagged as one of the favorites for the UAAP Season 76 title. It includes beating UST in a pulsating Semi-final match and burying Ray Parks Jr. together with NU Bulldogs in a tambakan-blues in the final match. Players are seemingly all on the same page and on a mission to redeem the loss glory.
They have all the pieces to contend against the best of the league: A behemoth center in Charles Mammie who celebrates every shot-made, reliable scorer in JM Noble, decent rebounder in Andi Santos, deadly shooter in Ralp Olivares, relentless defender in Lord Casajeros, and supersumang in Roi Sumang plus the fact that they have quality contributors from the bench that ready to step-up anytime. Of course the undying support from UE community is always behind them every game.
All are set to conquer UAAP.
With all the hype surrounding their first game of the season 76, FEU Tamaraws spoiled the debut of the Red Warriors in devastating fashion. Red Warriors had a perfect 1st half but gone cold in the 2nd half that allows the Tamaraws to steal the game. The promise turns to disappointments. The sky high confidence of warriors plummeted as they are quickly sent back crashing on earth. Alright it's just one game, one loss. There are more games to play.
They ended the first round with 4-3 card that involves come from behind wins that surely toughen their nerves. Had a mini run in the Season 76, having four straight victories. Totally looking good and seems peaking at the right time like diesel. They will be in their sharpest come playoff time.
Familiar foe is once again on their way to test their character.
Ice- cold FEU Tamaraws takes on the red-hot UE Warriors for Battle of the East round two. Sure, UE is on a four-game winning streak while FEU is coming from their first back to back losses of the season after sweeping the first round. No more UE domination in the first half this time instead it's the other way around. FEU had a complete control of the game until the last 4 minutes of the 4th that saw UE pressing the right buttons that sent the game into overtime.
The UE Red Warriors looked primed to get their five-straight winning streak after taking a seven point lead with just 23 seconds left but not against the determined Tamaraws. FEU unleashed a scoring brigade that forced second OT. In second overtime, Red Warriors runs out of gas to close out a very emotional game, Mammie and Sumang played 4o-plus minutes that limit their performance. FEU won the game which snapped their two-game slides while for UE the loss was the start of their ordeal.
After the loss, UE were never the same before. They loss four close games in a row (including against FEU), four important games which decides their season. I believe the loss to the FEU was the turning point. They loss not only the game but also Charles Mammie, Lord Casajeros and Ralf Olivares that could have made big impacts in those close games losses. If only Sumang made the crucial free-throw against La Salle, or if they able to close out the game against Ateneo, I'm sure things will not hurt me this much.
The season that began with so much promise ended with a nauseating bang. The dreams of supremacy in UAAP Men's Basketball have not seen. This now UE roster is their best chance to compete for the title but it is now lost. Big holes are left with the departure of six graduating students, comprising of starters Andi Santos, JM Noble, Ralp Olivares and Lord Casajeros. Will they find the fit personnel to pursue our dream of conquering the UAAP? Let me remind you, Roi Sumang is sidelined because of an MCL injury we don't know if it can affect his performance or mentality next season.
With all indications, it is now clear as day UE's dream of dominating the UAAP Men's Basketball is now over before it actually started.
I am a big basketball fan. In my four years stayed in UE, I have never experienced a championship. I can still vividly recall the joy brought by every Red Warrior's crucial win. Everyone in the campus is happy, quizzes are cancelled plus points incentives, guards will greet you upon entering, admin staffs are accommodating. What more if we get the crown huh? It may not now, it may not next season but I know the Warriors time will come. They are tracking the right path; we are in the middle of the process of winning. As what coach Boycie told his players "Hindi pa tapos to" Sino ka? "WARRIOR AKO". JAdG twitter.com/awesomealvin028

It was a typical busy weekend for us, but I grabbed some photos of the highlights to share.
We also made a quick stop by the Farmer's market on Saturday morning. I love our local market. They always have a decent selection and loads of friendly people. The one thing I wish is that there was a farmer's market open on Sunday. I realize that would be hard to come by in the midwest, but I'm just never ready to do my shopping until Sunday.
And then it snowed! We got about 5-6 inches in a 2-hour span on Saturday night. The weather forecast was for a "chance of snow," and I guess that, technically, they were right. It is already starting to melt, so I'm sure it won't be around for much longer.
Today was my "cheat day," so we headed to Red Robin for bottom-less fries and gluten-free burgers. It was so freaking good.

The Panthers host Buffalo Dec. 7, before traveling to Newark, N.J., to face in-state rival Penn State in the Never Forget Tribute Classic. Notre Dame and Villanova will square off in the first game of the event at the Prudential Center.
Pitt concludes its non-conference schedule with home games against Rice (Dec. 17), Omaha (Dec. 21) and Marshall (Dec. 28) before entering ACC play.
In addition to a competitive non-conference slate, Pitt faces a loaded schedule in ACC play with 12 games against 2016 postseason qualifiers. The Panthers face Louisville, North Carolina, Syracuse and Virginia twice apiece next season to go along with home games against Clemson, Florida State, Miami, Notre Dame and Virginia Tech. Pitt also makes trips to Boston College, Duke, Georgia Tech, NC State and Wake Forest as part of its road schedule.
"Anytime you are playing an ACC schedule and in a high-level event like the 2K Classic you will have a schedule that will challenge and excite your players and your fan base," Stallings added.

WHOOSH!!! As the sound of fighter jets flew over my apartment, my heart leapt with joy (and fear—those things are deafeningly loud). I ran to the window to see those four planes head straight toward Fenway Park to do a fly over, marking Opening Day for the Boston Red Sox. I called my dad to tell him I'd seen and felt the planes, and we talked baseball for a few minutes as the ceremony continued. Ted Kennedy, looking weak but happy, threw the opening pitch to Jim Rice, and for once, the political divide between me and my dad didn't matter. Even my conservative dad couldn't begrudge an old liberal the chance to toss a ball. Sadly Dad had to get back to work, and so we said our "Go Sox!"s before I settled in with a cup of coffee and my knitting to watch the game.
People are often surprised by my love of baseball. Even here where almost everyone at least claims to be a Red Sox fan, I don't fit the baseball "type." I'm not athletic. I hate sports bars. Jocks bore me. I own nary a piece of Red Sox merchandise. My tastes tend toward "culture." I could care less about any other sport going, but baseball just makes me stupid happy.
It wasn't always this way. Although I'd been a fan as a kid, growing up with Yaz and the Boomer, my baseball fandom pretty much ended with the 1986 World Series. My dad had woken up my mom to watch what should have been the final out of the Series. "Oh, Mr. Sundry," Mom said, rubbing her eyes, "these are the Red Sox. They are going to find a way to blow it."
Sure enough, the ball went trickling through poor injured Bill Bruckner's legs, and the dreams of a Sox win went with them. All my mom said was "See" to my stunned father and me. As I watched her pad off in her nightgown back to bed, I thought to myself that maybe my mother was right about just this one thing (I was thirteen at the time, so my mom was pretty much wrong about everything). And that was pretty much it for me and baseball for a long time. The next time the Sox made the Playoffs, I busied myself kissing my boyfriend's neck, trying to distract him from the game. He didn't appreciate it.
My indifference toward baseball would have likely continued if it hadn't been for an autumn evening in 2003. I'd just arrived in Massachusetts to start my recently ended job, and I had been staying with some friends of friends in Salem. These guys were hardcore baseball fans, and apparently the Sox were having a great year. If I ever wanted to sit in the living room, I needed to be able to tolerate baseball. Despite myself, I found myself rather charmed by the sloppy looking Sox. They just looked like they were having a good time. That didn't mean that I was interested in the game. Or wasn't, that is until that fateful night.
We were at a party in West Gloucester. We'd had beer. Somehow the party wound up becoming two parties, with women dancing to cheesy pop music in the kitchen, and men drinking beer on the porch, listening to Game Three of the series against Oakland on a hand-cranked radio. However much my sister and I love to cut a rug, the music was a bit much, so we decided to join the guys on the porch.
I don't know if it was the beer, the October air, the romance of the hand crank radio, or the general collective tension surrounding the game, but it took only a few moments before my sister and I were hooked. No one needed to tell us to shut up, because we were listening intently to the broadcast. The game was close, and error filled. It went into eleven, nail-biting innings. At one point, when the tension became almost unbearable, my sister and I looked at each other. "Oh no," we said together. "We care!"
"I want them to win!" shrieked my sister.
"Me too!" I cried.
The injured Trot Nixon stepped up to the plate. Magically, or so it seemed to me at the time, he hit a game-winning homerun.
"TROT!!!!!!!!" all the guys yelled. Sister and I joined them, "TROT!!!! YAY!!!!!"
From then on, Red Sox fans we were. Now would we have become fans had the Sox had a mediocre year in 2003, I can't say. But ever since that night, I've loved baseball. I might not have truly felt the heartbreak after Game Seven against the Yankees in 2003, or deserved the happiness I felt in 2004 and 2007, but I don't care. My dad loves it that his daughters have crossed over to the dark side (my mother feels betrayed). It gives us something to talk about, even when other current topics make us quarrel. Baseball's a game that brings an arch conservative and an ardent liberal together to rejoice in Opening Day.
So, yes. I love baseball. That the Sox won today makes me stupid happy. Play ball!

By Amando Doronila
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 00:25:00 10/07/2009
The gigantic task of clearing up the debris left by Storm "Ondoy" (international codename: Ketsana) has just begun, following the total collapse of the drainage and waste disposal infrastructure of Metro Manila, a metropolis of 20 million people. The flooding exposed the inadequacy of the drainage system. Esteros, creeks and canals are choked by... garbage, as municipal and even national relief services appear puny to cope with the scale of the cleanup.
The garbage pile-up crisis and its origins are described in a 2001 University of the Philippines study by Doracie B. Zoleta-Nantes. According to this study, the population of Metro Manila stood at 200,000 at the turn of the 20th century. The lack of opportunities in the countryside and the rapid urbanization of Metro Manila encouraged a massive influx of rural migrants into the megacity. The NCR had a population of 9.93 million as of May 2000 and an annual growth rate of 2.25 percent. At current projected rates of growth, Metro Manila is estimated to have a population of 19 million by 2016. Metro Manila has an average population density of 15,610 per sq. km. This population explosion has caused the expansion of poor squatters' colonies. It has contributed to the deterioration of the infrastructure and the quality of urban services in the metropolis.
On the average, a person generates 0.5 to 0.6 kilos of garbage a day in the megacity, according to the study. As of 1999, the nine million residents of Metro Manila generated approximately 6,000 tons of garbage a day. Yet, only 71 percent of the solid waste generated daily was collected by dump trucks, and disposed of by government and private waste collection agencies. The remaining 29 percent or 1,800 tons of garbage, was left on street corners and vacant lots, or thrown into storm drains and other waterways. Along with sewage leaks from septic tanks and other hazardous materials, this type of solid waste seriously clogged the network of drainage canals.
"Only 10 percent (or a total of 50 km) of the drainage facilities is dredged, de-clogged and maintained each year by the Department of Public Works and Highways in Manila," according to the UP study. "This figure is equivalent to a total of only 14 meters every day. Most of the drainage facilities are not accessible because many of the drainage canals' service roads have been encroached upon by different types of residential, government and business structures."
This description draws a nightmarish panorama of zoning chaos so embedded in the metropolis that has prompted urban planning architects and real estate developers to call for the obliteration of the jumble of structures in Metro Manila—a colossal project that suggests a "total solution" that requires nothing less than dropping an atomic bomb on the metropolis.
Real estate developers call for the rezoning of Metro Manila back to the original plans of Chicago architect Daniel Burnham, who designed Baguio. But developers, who are partly responsible for this zoning anarchy, are not part of the solution, they are part of the problem. They have little credibility blaming other factors for this urban chaos and huge human tragedy.
Enter the problem of the choking of the drainage system. The UP study points out:
"Meanwhile, indiscriminate dumping of trash seriously clogs the esteros, which are modified systems of natural channels and brackish water from coastal lakes that were intended to relieve flooding and improve waterborne transportation.
"The estero system worked well in the 19th and 20th centuries. But as the channels were filled in to provide building sites and refuse dumps for a rapidly growing urban population, the esteros have gradually become incapable of serving their original purpose.
"Encroachment by adjacent private property owners on the formerly protected banks of the esteros has been reported since the beginning of the 20th century.
"It would now be difficult to reopen these waterways because of the accumulated changes that have taken place (e.g. landfills, squatter settlements, emplacement of major roads and prominent buildings, deterioration of water quality, etc.). Thus rapid urbanization, encroachment of squatters on river banks, silting of waterways and lack of sewerage and drainage facilities worsen the flood hazards of Metro Manila.
"Since 1953, floods have affected Metro Manila on many occasions, including at least a dozen times that drew extensive coverage in the local mass media: August 1953; September 1956; May 1960; July 1961, 1962, 1964; June 1967; August 1970; July 1972; October 1988.
"Several trends may be observed in the flood events from the 1950s and 1990s. Flooded areas spread from the low-lying areas in the coastal parts of Manila, Navotas and Malabon, and along the banks of the San Juan and Pasig Rivers in the 1950s to the suburban areas of Manila, Quezon City, Pasay, San Juan and Caloocan in the 1960s and 1970s. The squatter areas that mushroomed along the banks of the esteros and rivers and in other marginal locations were regularly inundated several times each year.
"Flood incidence expanded in the 1980s in the increasingly urbanized low-lying areas in Pasig and Marikina and along the shores of Laguna de Bay most particularly in Taguig and Pateros. [The map of the flooded areas struck by Ondoy confirms this trend.]
"Costly subdivisions built on former agricultural lands were not spared the consequences of flooding. Indeed, flooding has become prevalent even in relatively high places.

We're Currently Accepting Resumes. See Below
Help Us Create the World's Best Product Reviews
We're an internet company with a bold mission to create the world's best outdoor gear reviews. To get a sense of the kind of reviews we create and publish, please look at our website. Our recent reviews will give you a sense of the level of detail and depth we strive for. You can also read about our company philosophy on our About GearLab page.
- General Freelance Reviewers
Freelance Reviewers for OutdoorGearLab
Our ideal freelance reviewer is self-motivated, has a college degree, is an expert in one or more outdoor activities and related gear categories, has strong writing and analytical skills, loves gear and reads online reviews extensively as a matter of course.
Our freelance reviewers work remotely as independent contractors on a part-time basis.
The general scope of work involves working testing all the products we select for a category (like backpacking water filters or fleece jackets), rating each, capturing a library of engaging images of the products in use, then creating a detailed written and visual (via photos) review of each product.
Note that, unlike a lot of other websites, we don't review just one product but instead have a reviewer take on the entire category and test all products side-by-side. You will use and test each product with a critical eye toward scoring it against four to six rating criteria. Our reviews are detailed and extensive. We will provide you with the products to test and a set of rating metrics on which to evaluate each product.
Your job as an OutdoorGearLab reviewer is to familiarize yourself with the category and each product, research existing user-reviews, rate each product, take photos of the products in use, help select the award winners, write up the review for each product, write the best-in-class award overview review, write the buying advice article, and write a description of how we test.
Our strongest candidates will provide at least one gear review writing sample, one that was either written for previous publication or an original. Similarly, we prefer to see photo samples that highlight outdoor gear in action. We're also interested in your longer and/or more technical writing samples.
The compensation varies depending on each category's complexity and the number of products to be tested, but typically ranges from $1,700 to $2,500 for a full category review project.
Conflict of Interest Notice
Our gear review ethics are crucial to us. We do not work with independent contractors who also write gear reviews for other publications. We also cannot hire anyone for a project who works with certain manufacturers, publishes content for them, tests gear for them, or is sponsored by them.
Current openings in the following areas of expertise:
Eligible candidates must be located in the Lake Tahoe region:
- None at this time
Current openings outside of the Lake Tahoe region:
- Men's CrossFit shoes
However, we're always accepting applications as reviews open up unexpectedly at times. If you have expertise outside of the above categories and would like to be considered should a freelance review opportunity arise, please apply and let us know of your area(s) of interest. We will keep your information on file.
How to Apply
If you are interested in applying to become a reviewer for OutdoorGearLab, please send to firstname.lastname@example.com:
- Your resume.
- Three references.
- A list of outdoor activities and gear categories that you are an expert in, the more specific, the better.
- 2-3 extensive examples of your writing; we're not interested in technical/academic papers and strongly prefer actual gear review samples. Longer writing samples preferred.
- 2-3 sample photographs; we strongly prefer photos that highlight gear in an active, outdoor setting.
- A link to a social media account.
- Please submit all documents in PDF format.

As Needed
Xanax, 1 mg, as needed, which is up to me,
I guess, who needs or doesn't that cold white
Flower at the brain's stem. And what am I trading:
Skeptical irony for spiking adrenalin, even, a wash,
I think, when I talk to my wife in the hospital
For her second pulmonary embolism in two weekends.
Oh, I was clearer-headed than that winter's day, as sharp,
As numb, knowing the road to the ER, the routine
Of triage and waiting, good at pretending it wasn't,
Nothing was happening. Are you taking care,
The good wishers all ask, and yes I say, meaning
I've got my mechanisms of defense all in place,
Got one foot moving ahead of the next, and
That's all folks, until the pills wear off, and what's
Left is what I started with, minus whatever this new
Need is I've learned now that I know what's needed.
– by Jordan Smith
Does poetry need to speak across generations to be great? This one won't. The first line virtually eliminates it from "classic" status, if it ever sought such, by including the name of a pharmaceutical and nonpoetical dose that will fade from collective consciousness in a few years when other, better psychotropics are created. Nobody will want to read a poem with a footnote on its first word, even if academics were willing to provide such explanatory text for a contemporary poem.
No, this poem is written with a short shelf life – it is like fresh fish or corn on the cob, meant to be enjoyed soon or not at all. This is not a poem for future generations; it is ours alone.
Is it a good poem? I think it is – the description of the anxiety prevented by the Xanax as "that cold white flower at the brain's stem" is a striking image, and the levels of meaning brought forth by the word "need" gives it a richness beyond its immediacy. Xanax is a habit-forming drug; has the speaker created a need for it, or is he freshly aware of his need for his wife, or is it a reference to the prescriptive advice to take the pills "as needed"?
It's a thought-provoking little poem. Depending on how you read it, each line has 5 or 6 stressed syllables, with no rhyming. He plays with cliches in the poem – "that's all folks", "one foot in front of the other", "good wishers" instead of well-wishers. The resort to cliche is not a weakness; it is a means of conveying the dead-brained banality of keeping moving in painful times.
Over a quarter century ago, I took creative writing classes from Jordan Smith, and argued with him about the necessity of structure. His relationship with form was casual and fleeting, while my own was dogmatic. I haven't corresponded with him since I wrote him a note after reading his book, "An Apology for Loving the Old Hymns". I was pleased to find an entire book by him available for free online, called "The Flute Is Zero", and borrowed "As Needed" from it.

Development of an optimised application protocol for sonophoretic transdermal delivery of a model hydrophilic drug
Sarheed, O.A. and Bazigha, K. and Abdul, Rasool (2011) Development of an optimised application protocol for sonophoretic transdermal delivery of a model hydrophilic drug. Open Biomedical Engineering Journal, 5. pp. 14-24. ISSN 1874-1207
Accepted Author Manuscript
Download (789kB)
It has now been known for over a decade that low frequency ultrasound can be used to effectively enhance transdermal drug penetration - an approach termed sonophoresis. Mechanistically, acoustic cavitation results in the creation of defects in the stratum corneum that allow accelerated absorption of topically applied molecules. The aim of this study was to develop an optimised sonophoresis protocol for studying transdermal drug delivery in vitro. To this end, caffeine was selected as a model hydrophilic drug while porcine skin was used as a model barrier. Following acoustic validation, 20kHz ultrasound was applied for different durations (range: 5 s to 10 min) using three different modes (10%, 33% or 100% duty cycles) and two distinct sonication procedures (either before or concurrent with drug deposition). Each ultrasonic protocol was assessed in terms of its heating and caffeine flux-enhancing effects. It was found that the best regimen was a concurrent 5 min, pulsed (10% duty cycle) beam of SATA intensity 0.37 W/cm2. A key insight was that in the case of pulsed beams of 10% duty cycle, sonication concurrent with drug deposition was superior to sonication prior to drug deposition and potential mechanisms for this are discussed.

Rubin's extraordinary success in Delaware keeps the bar high as Nurse Next Door franchise positions itself to take hold in the U.S. after dominating Canada
Tiffany and Chad Rubin of Nurse Next Door Franchise in Delaware are a dream team combo of medical experience and a lot entrepreneurial wherewithal. It worked well for the two, who were looking for a franchise that fit their love of caring for seniors and their independent spirits. But they weren't naïve about setting themselves up financially for their future. The Rubins have the highest-performing Nurse Next Door franchise in the country.
How long have you been a Nurse Next Door franchise owner?
We purchased our location in March 2013 and opened our doors June of 2013. My
husband, Chad, has always had the entrepreneurial bug. Once we came upon Nurse Next Door, we stopped shopping around. One of the biggest pieces for me, being a nurse, is that they are one of the very few home care franchises that allows you to be "skilled medical." So, we do everything here in Delaware. We do what most home care agencies do, the companion care and personal care, but we also do private-pay nursing care. It's been a really great niche for us. If they can afford it, we can keep them home for ever. It's so cool.
I would be silly to say it didn't include a big financial gain. It has to. So, that was also a big part of it. We were young enough that we were able to put the hours in that were required. I want to set ourselves up for a financially secure future. One of the biggest things for me was the comfort level, as nursing was my background. It was easy. My husband and I feel like we're a very good team. He has the business sense, and I have that caring side of it. I am just naturally drawn to people who need help.
What sets Nurse Next Door franchise apart?
First and foremost, our core purpose is to make lives better. That says it all to me; it was a franchise that gave me the freedom to do what I feel needs to be done for my clients, whether that is companion care, making a grilled cheese, giving out Christmas gifts or doing heavy nursing care. Secondly, we have the Care Services Center. As we continue to grow and make services better, our goal is that it will assist us in becoming larger in a very sustainable way.
Third, they allow the ability to provide skilled care. Many franchises only are allowed to be non-skilled. Then fourth, there is the support. I've heard that the support for other franchises is just not there. They may have more marketing materials, but the corporate support is different. HeartQuarters really wants to give partners the tools to succeed, and I'm confident that as we grow as a brand, the other things will fall into place.
How large is the opportunity for your business?
It's gigantic. We are an example of that, because we started out with our first territory and then we were able to absorb two territories and expand to the whole state of Delaware.
Who are your customers?
Everyone who wants to stay happy at home instead of moving into a facility; from young people paralyzed by car accidents, to those affected by MS and Parkinson's, to older adults who want to stay independent at home. We have two types of clients — those who are long-distance, the sons and daughters, and that is a different type of management. We usually talk to them once a month; we have our caregivers send pictures to those who live away. And then we have the ones who need more respite care, those who live with their parents. Those are the ones I feel that we help out the most.
Do you have a special client that comes to mind?
One of our first clients had seizures because of the ammonia levels in her house because she had over 40 cats. When I first visited her in the hospital, her daughter, who was a long-distance client, didn't know what to do anymore. The first home visit was quite the eye-opener. She did not have a working kitchen. We were able to re-home all but five cats. There was a lot of education, getting her blood pressure under control. We got her on a better diet. We were able to be a really good resource for her. About four months later she was able to be discharged from us. So, that is what we love to see. We want clients to stay on forever, but something like that was really satisfying for us and for her caregivers and nurses.
What is unique about this approach to home care?
Since our location is owned and operated by an RN, we have a really cool approach. We look at every client holistically and can offer services most other franchises cannot, such as medication management.
What does your typical day look like?
There is no typical day, honestly. I may have something I do every Monday, but when it gets done, it's always something different.
I know we've talked about support a little, but can you elaborate?
I've had a business coach since we opened. We had a conversation every single week until last month, when we no longer needed to have that. They're very supportive. They did an on-site visit when we were eight months old. We have an on-site visit yearly, which is awesome. We have a weekly huddle call with all of the franchise partners every Friday. It's great. You get to hear about other people's successes, which ultimately helps you develop your team. If it works for somebody else, then it's probably going to work for you. I am on the franchise advisory committee, which is a very active, and when there are issues they fly us up to Canada if needed.
What do you like about the business?
The ability to effect change in people's lives and give them an independence they wouldn't have otherwise. The ability to give people quality of life. I went into this as a nurse, and it's pretty cool to have some self-discovery and figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. Nursing is exhausting, you work nights and weekends. So that's been really cool, finding a new industry and a place to do what I do and yet be a lot more satisfied and fulfilled in my personal life.
From the business perspective, what I really like is having full control. If we have an issue with a form, we change it. If we have an issue with a process, we alter it. That is, hands down, good customer service to be able to alter something because you need to alter it.
What does Nurse Next Door allow you to do that you couldn't do before?
Manage people, grow in experience. I've changed and learned so much in the last 18 months, and I have a financially secure future. It also allows me to employ people, which I really like, being able to help support those employees: single moms, working parents, students.
Would you recommend a Nurse Next Door franchise to someone else?
Absolutely. Because at the end of the day, even with all the ups and downs, it still provides more opportunity than what most people could ever find elsewhere.

Today I'm describing the way I executed a package from an ASP.NET page and passing a parameter.
The Problem
I need to enable the user of an ASP application to execute a package and passing a parameter to it when the user press a button.
So, in my SSIS package I have created a global variable "strCFG_TextPath" and I will update this value from ASP page. I have created a function fExecSSISPackage in a clean webservice to make the call.
(You can create the function in the ASP page, but in my case I made like this because I insert all the connections to the database inside a WebService)
In this example the SSIS package is stored in the filesystem, but the function is prepared to accept each of the 3 types that I described before.
You only need to write few lines: (SourceLocation is the string value I want to pass to the SSIS package)
Dim myPackage as Package
Dim integrationServices As New Application
myPackage = integrationServices.LoadPackage(packagePath, Nothing)
myPackage.Variables("strCFG_TextPath").Value = sourceLocation
ASP.NET Page
To call the function in the WebService is simple... see the image:
I hope this post could be helpfull for you.
Kind Regards,

Nikon Coolpix 5700 Review
Features & Controls
The Coolpix 5700 features a big 8x optical 9-72mm (equivalent to 35-280mm) F2.8-4.2 with macro; 14 elements in 10 groups; all glass, Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) applied; two glass-molded ED lens elements included.
Employing the Nikon
exclusive 5-area Multi AF focusing system, the camera can automatically select the
"best" focus target or you can select the desired focusing zone manually. The autofocus
range is 19.7 inches to infinity in normal mode or an amazing 1.2 inches to infinity when
in macro mode.
The lens cap clips onto the end of the lens and will extend with it if you forget to
remove it when powering up.
This is the HR-E5700 rubber lens shade, it does not require any adapter and attaches
directly to the 5700's lens barrel. (You'll no doubt get thoroughly searched at the
airport if you try to carry this through the metal detector.)
There are two optional lens adapters: The Wideangle Converter
WC-E80 and Telephoto Converter TC-E15ED, both require the Step Down Ring Lens Adapter
UR-E8. The FC-E8 fisheye lens is not useable on the 5700.
The WC-E80 is comprised of two elements in two groups and weighs approx. 17.5 oz
(500g). It is a wide angle conversion lens with a
magnification factor of 0.8x. When used in conjunction with the Coolpix 5700's lens
at full wide angle it is equivalent to 28mm in 35mm camera format. The combined
maximum aperture is f/2.8 with the Coolpix 5700 at full wide angle. The combined
minimum focusing distance is 1.10 inches. It is provided with front and rear lens
caps and a protective, soft case.
The TC-E15ED is comprised of four elements in two groups (including one ED lens) and
weighs approx. 9.6 oz (275g.) It is a telephoto conversion lens with a magnification
factor of 1.5x. When used with the Coolpix 5700's lens at full telephoto it is
equivalent to 420mm in 35mm camera format. The combined maximum aperture is f/4.2
with the Coolpix 5700 at full telephoto zoom. The combined minimum focusing distance
is 16.54 inches. It is provided with front and rear lens caps and a protective,
soft case.
The builtin flash automatically "pops up" when needed and has a Guide number 39.4 (at ISO 100, ft/m). It operates in the following modes: Auto Flash, Flash Cancel, Fill Flash, Slow Sync and Red-Eye Reduction.
The flash working range is 1'10" - 13' 1" in Wide angle and
1'10" - 9'2" in telephoto.
Using the ISO hotshoe the Coolpix 5700 can be fitted with an external speedlight such as the Nikon SB-50DX or SB-80DX (shown above), SB-28DX, SB-28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, or 22s can also be used. The built-in Speedlight can be cancelled when using an external flash or used in tandem. (When using an external flash the internal flash must be "popped up" because the flash sensor is on the flash arm.)
Note that the camera can NOT make use of the speedlight's zoom head or AF assist lamp.
The camera and SB-50DX or SB-80DX can also work together without a sync cable.
These flashes have an integrated slave-sensor that works with the Coolpix 5700 (and
other Nikon cameras). The range of the TTL wireless flash operation is approx.
7m (23 ft.) and there is no limit to the number of flashes that can be used.
The Coolpix 5700 can be connected to studio lighting by use of the Nikon AS-15
hot shoe to PC adapter. This allows connection to any flash with a standard PC sync cord.
The Coolpix 5700 is Nikon's first camera to employ an electronic viewfinder (EVF.) This
is a 180,000-dot low-temp 0.44-inch TFT color LCD with 97% frame coverage (100% in
playback) and has dioptric adjustment.
The Coolpix 5700 features a fully articulated, 270°, 1.5",
110,000-pixel, polysilicon color TFT LCD. It is illuminated by an LED backlight with
adjustable intensity and has a frame coverage of approximately 97% when used as a live
When not in use the color LCD can be turned to face inwards and closed against the back of the camera. It can also be closed facing outwards like other cameras with fixed LCD screens.
Note that either the EVF or LCD must be turned on as there is no conventional optical viewfinder, so if you like to carry the camera "powered up and ready" just set the Auto-Off value to 30s or 1m and let it go to sleep to save power. A quick tap of the shutter button wakes the camera up and it's ready to shoot in about three seconds.

All I ever wanted was a home—stability, hard walls, and roots so deep they could withstand the strongest storm. Through long hours and determination, I was finally on my way, signing contracts for my brick and mortar ship, and beginning to feel settled for the first time in my life. But the night I met John Eaton, I felt that stability crumble. His smile was a mixture of little boy and pure devil at the same time. I knew his type, knew the sort of games that came with men like him. So I pushed. But he pulled harder. I tried to fight it, to shove away the connection that clawed at my heart, but it was too late. Roots dug in, grew deep, and twisted. John fell for me, and I for him. He was impossible to resist. I was his. But a secret is a dangerous thing. Held for too long, it can rip a life apart. Destroy the man I loved. Destroy us.
Waiting For Tuesday is an emotionally driven read that will have screaming in frustration, crying in sadness, smiling in happiness and overall leaving you drained once you are finished. What is it that I have been reading some very emotional books as of late, I don't know how much more my heart or let's face it my tear ducts can take? But you know what? I would cry myself dry if it meant reading a book that touched me on such a level that Waiting For Tuesday did.
Tuesday and John will not only dig themselves into your heart but they will take a piece of it with them. You can't help but want the best for these two, you wish for it, some might pray for it, but either way, you will want it even if at times you get upset just trust me it will all be worth it.
Waiting For Tuesday is a must read if you are looking for a book that will have your emotions go from one extreme to the next, if you are looking for something that will touch your heart and stay there, and is a book that this book whore recommends to you all.
