You can more often than not
Posted on July 29th, 2010 by adminYou can more often than not find out all the details of a procedure using medical periodicals. The disadvantage is that these typically read like stereo instructions and they are rather dull. They are first-class to put you to sleep at night, and, similar to magazines, are good starting points. They can give you the guide you need to start an internet search.
The most disregarded resource you have is first hand information from people who have had lasik. You can ask any eye doctor and they ought to be able to give you a reference listing of patients that have approved to speak to potential patients. As a rule they will provide you the best thoughts of what to expect. They will most likely also tell you what the internet and doctors leave out. They have gone through the operation. They know what it feels like, what the after effects are like, and if it is worth it. Now don?t go by just what one person says.

Vegware heats up cutlery market
Posted on July 29th, 2010 by adminVegware heats up cutlery market
0 Comments | Herald, The; Glasgow (UK), Jul 29, 2010 | by mark smith
VEGWARE, the pioneering Scottish eco-packaging start-up whose products are made from plant materials, yesterday launched the world’s first high-heat resistant compostable cutlery and said it was moving to bigger premises to cope with increased demand.
Joe Frankel, the Edinburgh-based entrepreneur who set up Vegware in 2006 to offer a sustainable alternative to the plastic disposables used by the catering sector, said the cutlery was part of a suite of new compostable offerings, comprising cutlery, a soup container and lid set, and the first ever compostable insulated coffee cup and lid.
Frankel, whose customer base includes some of the county’s largest caterers, said the entire product range was suitable for organic recycling, and that it had become the UK’s first-ever provider of compostable catering disposables and takeaway packaging.
A spokeswoman for the com-pany said: “The idea is to provide plastic without oils. Plastic is a wonderful product but it’s also disastrous environmentally.
“Other companies have produced compostable cutlery, but nothing that could stand up to high heat – for example, a spoon in soup would just melt.
“Vegware’s compostable products can handle temperatures above boiling point.”
Vegware products, which are manufactured at factories in England, China and Taiwan, are made from a substance called PLA, a corn- based bioplastic.
While biodegradable materials break down naturally over time, compostable means it is much quicker – in fewer than 180 days.
Frankel added: “It has taken years of R&D, but now our full range can be commercially composted together with food waste rather than go to landfill. And of course we’re delighted to be eco-market leaders.”
He said he expects Vegware’s business to get a major boost after April 1, next year, when landfill tax, which has been increasing by pound(s)8 each year, will rise again to pound(s)48 per tonne, bringing it in line with commercial composting – making the disposal of Vegware products economical and eco-friendly.
Indeed, their product meets OEM
Posted on July 28th, 2010 by adminIndeed, their product meets OEM [original equipment manufacturer] requirements on a wide variety of vehicles.
Oxygen sensors are made of several important parts, all critical to helping reduce emissions.
Your OEM replacement part must contain:
Wire lead
Cable connector
Heater contact
Laser welded body
Protective tube with slots
Rugged sensor housing
Protective sleeve
Contact plate
Insulated brushing
The quality of these internal parts is critical to your oxygen sensor working right the first time and every time. Settle for something less and you invite headaches as well as a lot of trouble.
So, what if you decide you don’t want to replace your oxygen sensor? Trouble will abound! Essentially, your gas mileage will suffer, your catalytic converter may become damaged to the point it will have to be replaced too, your car may fail its next emissions test, and overall performance will dip as you notice your Honda hesitating or surging.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on July 16 kicked off the first in a series of Regional Health Care Fraud Prevention Summits in Miami, Florida.
The summit brought together an array of federal, state and local partners, beneficiaries, providers, and other interested parties to discuss ways to eliminate fraud within the U.S. health care system, according to officials.
“The days of scamming dollars from our health care system are over,” said Secretary Sebelius. “Thanks to new tools contained in the Affordable Care Act, we are more prepared than ever to safeguard taxpayer dollars and ensure that the health care coverage of our seniors, families and children is secure. I’m proud of the tremendous success we’ve had so far, and look forward to continuing this important dialogue at fraud prevention summits across the country.”
“Despite all that’s been accomplished over the last year, we cannot yet be satisfied or become complacent. And we cannot ignore the fact that health care fraud remains a significant problem,” said Attorney General Holder. “Each of you can be part of this and other public education efforts. Each of you can help to ensure that our health reform achievements are not exploited.”
The summit featured a training session for Miami-area seniors on how to detect suspected fraud in Medicare, including how to report fraud to 1-800-HHS-TIPS and at stopmedicarefraud.gov.
The summit also featured educational panels that discussed best practices for both providers and law enforcement in preventing health care fraud. The panels included law enforcement officials, consumer experts, providers and representatives of key government agencies.
On June 8, President Obama announced this nationwide series of regional fraud prevention summits as part of an effort to crack down on health care fraud

Thank you for Pounds 4,000 African school help
Posted on July 28th, 2010 by adminThank you for Pounds 4,000 African school help
0 Comments | Hull Daily Mail, Jul 16, 2010 | by JAMES CAMPBELL
TEACHERS from a struggling school in Ghana have been in Hull to thank those who have helped support them.
East Hull teaching assistant Anne Augustyns has worked tirelessly to raise funds for Holy Child State School in the African country.
Mrs Augustyns, 53, who works at Westcott Primary School, east Hull, spent much of last year raising Pounds 4,000 to send a storage container of toys, books and stationery to the school.
Headteacher Gloria Kwasie and teacher Flora Aaiyia spent a week in Hull with a Ghana celebration evening held at the Freedom Centre, in Preston Road, east Hull.
About 150 guests, including councillors and local business representatives, attended.
The Hull Ladies Choir performed and there was Ghanaian food to sample.
The Ghanaian teachers went to The Deep and visited Cavendish, Gillshill, Griffin and Southcoates primaries during the week.
A civic reception was also held by Hull City Council at the Guildhall.
Mrs Augustyns said: “Gloria and Flora were overcome by everything on their visit and the children at Westcott learnt so much.
“The school is so grateful for what we have sent them.
“They have created a CD showing what the equipment is being used for.
“Our children have got so much out of it and they now realise how lucky they are.
“The children in Ghana have to pay for their own equipment and clean the school themselves.
“We have also been presented with a hand-crafted plaque and bowl by the school.”
Head teacher at Westcott, Debbie Johnson, added: “We had a fantastic week. We have made some very strong links in Ghana and this will help to maintain those in future.”

You know I really haven?t
Posted on July 28th, 2010 by adminYou know I really haven?t totally thought this thru but you have to admit it makes a lot of sense really.
You see once you are in space the extra weight is no big deal. Sure it might take a little more propulsion to get it all up there, but that just means more boosters and thus more habitats. Now then I know you are a skeptic right, what about the fuel and the toxicity and you are worried about all the astronauts?
Well what about bacteria, which would eat the fuel and then die after it starved. Just a matter of a good cleaning, which might take a while but consider some 6-8 Massive Boosters; you can have a whole set up, nursery for farming, lab, mining office to lease out to private industry and the makings of a first colony, hotel and well you get the idea? Consider this in 2006.

The inipi (purification ceremony) is a sacred ceremony for purifying the mind, body and spirit. By going through this ceremony it gives them a stronger foundation to start with before problems can arise.
The Lakota naming ceremony is traditionally done when a baby is born. They are given a Lakota name that ?anchors them to the earth? and connects them to their culture and their family in a deep way.
For children who have suffered more traumatic events like abuse, their spirit can become damaged and actually leave their body, like a disconnection of sorts. In these cases they would hold a ceremony to call back the spirit so it can re-connect with the mind and body.
People like Ethleen Iron Cloud Two Dogs along with mental health professionals, volunteers and Lakota people are slowly connecting the children back with the traditional ways and it has been shown to pay off in recent years.

Review / Pittsburgh Tribune – Review – Cooks share family recipes on kitchen website
Posted on July 28th, 2010 by adminCooks share family recipes on kitchen website
0 Comments | Tribune – Review / Pittsburgh Tribune – Review, Jul 27, 2010 | by Candy Williams
Fond family memories can be as close as a recipe card — or an interactive website dedicated to sharing recipes, stories and cooking traditions.
For Pat Quolke of Mt. Lebanon, Our Kitchen Stories — an online community sponsored by Shop ‘n Save — is a good way to pass on her favorite dishes to her large extended family. Her mother, the late Eleanor Quolke of Emsworth, had 10 siblings, nine children, 25 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, with numbers 11 and 12 on the way.
Since her mom has been gone, Pat says she and her four sisters started a tradition of spending a weekend together once a year at one of the sisters’ lakeside home near Cleveland. This will be the 13th summer the women make the trek together.
“There’s always lots of good food,” Quolke says. “We make meals for each other, and we’re always saying to each other, ‘Send me that recipe when you get home.’ “
One of her most-requested recipes is for her mother’s gingersnap cookies, which Pat says are chewy rather than crispy “and everyone loves them.” Grandma Quolke’s Gingersnaps is one of several recipes that Pat has posted on the Our Kitchen Stories site, www.ourkitchenstories.com.
“It’s a nice way to share it with everyone, and every time I make them, I think of her,” Quolke says.
She also posted her mother’s recipe for Grandma Quolke’s Nutbread, a recipe that has been in her family for more than 50 years.
“Her small nutbread loaves were made in empty Campbell’s soup cans,” Quolke says. “After they were baked, she’d wrap them in Saran Wrap with bright ribbons and give them as Christmas gifts to family and friends.”
Another contributor to Our Kitchen Stories is Susan Loya of Mt. Washington, a retired social worker who admits she’s “not real computer savvy,” but finds the recipe exchange site easy to maneuver.
“The whole concept is very inviting,” Loya says.
Loya has added her recipes for Korean Spinach Salad, Southern Baked Fish, Simple Salmon and her mother-in-law’s recipe for Mama’s Golden Pound Cake.
“She made a lot of foods the family enjoyed,” Loya says. “She was of Serbian background and was very involved in the Mothers’ Club at St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church in McKeesport. In the ’50s, she helped spearhead a collection of recipes that was compiled by the club.”
Our Kitchen Stories features recipes grouped by heritage, course/ dish, main ingredient and seasonal holidays. A separate section includes recipes submitted by Shop ‘n Save employees.
In addition to posting their recipes and stories, visitors can interact with other users, read their family stories and locate recipes to fill their personal online cookbooks.
“We wanted to create a community that would preserve the rich culinary heritage of this region and the legacies of some of the best everyday chefs in our region — our mothers, our grandmothers and even great-grandmothers,” says Shannon Baker, spokeswoman for Shop ‘n Save.
“We thought about the wonderful neighborhoods that make up Pittsburgh — German town, Polish Hill, Bloomfield,” she says. “We wanted to allow generations of families and friends to share the recipes that are unique to our communities, that they grew up with, and that they can continue to enjoy and share.”
Nearly 600 stories and recipes from Western Pennsylvania cooks have been posted to the website since its launch in the spring, Baker says. The site will continue to evolve with more features to be added, including tips and trends from professional chefs and special offers from Shop ‘n Save.
Baker attributes the success of the website to the resurgence of interest in home cooking.
“More and more people are going back to their kitchens and making meal preparation a family affair,” she says. “Cooking at home is a way to slow down, save money and enjoy family and friends.”
