Lichtman et al. (2008) assert that more than 60 prospective studies and numerous meta-analyses have linked depression with reduced prognosis for individuals with coronary heart disease.
According to Celano and Huffman (2003), between 20% to 40% of patients with cardiovascular disease meet the criteria for major depressive disorders or have significant symptoms of depression.
Chronic depression has been associated with the progression of coronary artery disease, decreased health-related quality of life, poor physical functioning, recurrent cardiac events, and a 2 to 2.5 fold increased risk of mortality. Depression often impairs adherence to health behaviors and promotes adverse physiological effects including inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, platelet hyperactivity, and autonomic nervous system abnormalities, all of which can cause adverse cardiac outcomes. Pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic interventions appear to be safe and effective at reducing depressive symptoms in patients with cardiovascular disease and may improve cardiac outcomes.
Several additional researchers (Glassman, et al. 2006; Lespérance, et al. 2007; Huffman, et al., 2011) carried out studies of depression in patients with CAD. They concluded approximately 50 to 70% of patients hospitalized for an acute cardiac episode met the criteria for depression preceding their cardiac admission.
Huffman, Celano, Beach, Motiwala, Januzzi (2013) developed a model describing the potential mechanisms linking depression and cardiac disease (above). They concluded depression in cardiac patients resulted in the following physiological changes: elevated platelet activity, increased inflammation, hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis dysfunction, decreased heart rate variability, endothelial dysfunction, and Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Depression also impaired health promoting behaviors such as adherence to low-fat diet, exercise, smoking cessation, and medication adherence.
Additional researchers found patients in the American Heart Association Heart Failure (HF) stages C and D have additional challenges with depression. Patients with heart failure and those undergoing implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement have an increased risk of depression. They exhibit a combined score of 56% for depressive symptoms and MDD (Rutledge et al., 2006; Magyar-Russell et al. 2011). In addition, patient's undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) show increased symptoms of depression (Tully & Baker, 2012). The depression has been shown to impact negatively on adjustments to devices and recovery from surgery.
Foss-Nieradko, Stepnowska, & Piotrowicz (2012) conducted a prospective comparison on the effects of chronic depression, incidental depression, and no depression on outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting. After a two-year study, they found cardiac events occurred more frequently among patients with chronic depression but not incidental depression when compared with patients with no depressive symptoms.
The American Heart Association recommends "Routine screening for depression in patients with CHD in various settings, including the hospital, physician's office, clinic, and cardiac rehabilitation center. The opportunity to screen for and treat depression in cardiac patients should not be missed, as effective depression treatment may improve health outcomes (Lichtman et al. (2008)."
Total Score= ≥ 3 is suggestive of elevated symptoms of depression.
Assessment of depression is an essential part of care of a patient with cardiac disease.
Treatment of depression includes antidepressant drugs, cognitive behavioral therapy, and physical activity.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants, sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine (Luvox), and paroxetine (Paxil)are recommended for patients with depression and CAD. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are not recommended because of their cardiotoxic side effects (Glassman et al., 1993).
One major side effect of MAOIs has been the occurrence of spontaneous hypertensive episodes. On occasion these episodes have led to a hypertensive crisis (Wimbiscus, et al., 2010; Lavin, et al. 1993). TCAs can cause heart rate increase, blood pressure abnormalities, and serious conduction alterations, including right and left bundle-branch block or atrioventricular block. They are generally at high risk for causing arrhythmias (Kantor et al. 1975; Roose et al., 1987).
"SSRIs compared with TCAs leave them the antidepressant drugs of choice in depressed patients with CHD. Nevertheless, clinicians using SSRIs must keep in mind that these drugs may be associated with the serotonin syndrome, tachycardia, arrhythmias, (Fernandez et al, 2007)."
Comparisons of SSRI antidepressants with TCAs and MOAIs and their cardiovascular side effects continue to be studied. Large studies such as the one by Spindelegger et al. (2014) of 169,278 psychiatric inpatients showed MOA inhibitors to have the most cardiotoxic effects, followed by tricyclic antidepressants with the least cardiotoxic effects of the SSRI antidepressants.
Taylor et al. (2005) examined the effects of antidepressant medication on the morbidity and mortality of 1,834 post MI patients. Mortality or recurrences of MI was significantly lower in patients taking SSRIs than non-users of antidepressants or those taking non SSRI medications. Similar results were found by Mavrides & Nemeroff (2013) in their review of 61 articles about the use of antidepressants with patients with CAD.
All antidepressant medications have the same efficacy, side effects and safety profile when used with patients with cardiac disease.
Cognitive behavioral therapy or other nonpharmacological counseling approaches may be helpful to cardiac patients with depression. Cognitive therapy is based largely on the premise that thoughts influence moods. Depression can be maintained by constant negative thoughts. These thoughts occur automatically.
According to Rozin & Royzman (2001), the human mind defaults toward negativity, paying more attention to negatives than positives. As Baumeister et al. (2001) described, bad is stronger than good. Cognitive therapists hold the patient with depression has negative distortions that can be reframed to a more realistic perception. Statements like I will be unhappy forever can be changed to I am unhappy now because of what happened but improvement is possible. The patient with depression can see a current unhappy situation as temporary and not diminishing the rest of their life or their future (Dekker, 2011).
Social support is typically defined as having a spouse, significant other, friends, and/or colleagues who are part the positive and supportive dimension of a person's life system. Four supportive behaviors commonly are described as part of a social support system: emotional (expressions of empathy, love, trust, and caring), instrumental (actual aid), informational (advice and information), and appraisal (positive and helpful feedback) (Glanz, Rimer, & Viswanath, 2008).
Graven and Grant (2013) reviewed 15 studies describing the impact of social support on depression with patients with cardiovascular disease. Eleven studies reported on the positive aspects of social support in preventing or reducing depressive symptoms. Patients with CAD should be assessed for the presence of social support in their life systems.
Depression can be a barrier to physical activity needed not only to improve cardiovascular health but also to reduce the depressive symptoms.
The American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic exercise. This would apply to patients in stages A and B with the approval of their physician. Patients in stages C and D should be given exercise recommendations based on their cardiac condition. Some muscle-strengthening activity can also produce benefits (AHA, 2014).

This Month:
An Interview with Tristan Prettyman and a Review of Her CD "Hello"
"Hello", the follow-up Virgin CD to singer/songwriter and surfer gal Tristan Prettyman's critically acclaimed debut release, "Twenty-three", goes down like a tall, cool glass of lemonade on a hot summer day.
Recorded in a just a few weeks in London with British producers and songwriters Martin Terefe (KT Tunstall, Ron Sexsmith) and Sacha Skarbek KT Tunstall, James Blunt), Prettyman shows a new maturity and her smoky, velvet alto voice has never sounded better.
Critics have compared her to artists as diverse as Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones and Fiona Apple, but Prettyman truly is in a unique class of her own that defies comparison.
The more one listens, the more Prettyman's tone and style resonates and requires getting much better acquainted with this talented chanteuse. Due to her extensive touring schedule over three years promoting "Twenty-three", Prettyman was able to record the bulk of the new album live with few overdubs, giving it an intimate, warm, organic feel, using pedal steel, Hammond organ and strings.
Prettyman recently broke off a two-year relationship with "her first true love" and songs like the driving "Echo", poignant "Blindfold" and plaintive "War Out Of Peace" reflect the changes she has gone through. But the record is far from downbeat, with playful, sexy tunes like the title track, "You Got Me", "Handshake" and "Just a Little Bit" showing several other dimensions of this up-and-coming artist. "Madly", arguably the most commercial and accessible song on the record, co-written with Kevin Griffin from Better Than Ezra was a well thought out choice for the first single. She recently performed "Madly" on Jay Leno and was extremely well received. The tone of the CD has a bluesy quality that suits Prettyman's style to the letter.
The final track, "In Bloom" is haunting with an effective use of just piano and strings that suits Prettyman's subdued yet emotional delivery. Themes of heartbreak, love and the thrill of the chase permeate this superb effort that grows on you after repeated listening. Here's what our surfer gal had to say from the road:
Kimberlye Gold: How did you get your record deal with Virgin? Did other labels court you?
Tristan Prettyman: When I got with my new manager, he hooked it all up. We had some showcases in New York. I liked the vibe I got with the A&R from Virgin, so I said what the heck!
KG: What was growing up in San Diego like?
TP: It was surfy and sunny.
KG: When did you start playing live, writing songs, etc.?
TP: I taught myself how to play guitar on and off from age 15 – 20. I was probably 20 when I started playing shows. I've always been a writer, journals for days even when I was little kid.
KG: What do you feel are the differences between "Hello" and "Twenty-Three"?
TP: "Twenty-three" was written from a compilation of life experiences...and "Hello" is more specific to times, places and people.
KG: Have you grown as an artist and a woman?
TP: I have grown immensely but some days I don't know, I still have a lot of growing to do, I hope I never stop. People that haven't seen me
for a while say I have turned into a woman. That's pretty cool. I definitely feel like I can hang at the grown up table.
KG: What has touring so much been like for you?
TP: Exhausting and fun...
KG: How were you received in Japan?
TP: The first time the audience was very shy and reserved but after 13 times they have really warmed up to me! It's like a second home.
KG: What are the pros and cons?
TP: Traveling can take a lot out of you, but there is nothing like a sold out show when the crowd is singing your songs back to you.
KG: Who would you consider your main influences to be growing up and now?
TP: There is no one main influence. I've always looked up to my parents though. They have been big supporters and the two people I can always go to for advice or an honest opinion.
KG: Many of your songs feel like a stream of consciousness. "Madly" is the most commercial with very definite verses, chorus, bridge, etc. Did you deliberately choose that as the first single?
TP: The label made the choice. I co-wrote that song with Kevin Griffin from Better than Ezra. It was definitely a more thought out effort than some of the other songs I wrote, but it was never like we sat down and said, ok we are writing the hit, the single. Kevin has a way to make songs catchy. He's good with hooks and arrangements where as I have a lot of good ideas that I need help organizing.
KG: What is the next single going to be?
TP: No idea! Maybe "Hello". I'm sure the label would like "War out of Peace", that's definitely pop radio. I like all the songs though and they are fun to play, so I'm cool with whatever.
KG: What do you feel are your main themes on this record?
TP: It's the game of the chase. I always learn something after the songs are written.
KG: Are all your songs autobiographical?
TP: Pretty much. The guy I wrote "Don't Work Yourself Up" about doesn't even speak to me anymore, unfortunately. But I made sure to add happy, fun songs as well as the dark ones. Each song tells a story about something that I've gone through.
KG: How did you like recording in London?
TP: Working with Martin and Sasha was amazing. We pretty much recorded everything together and left it all together with musicians that were all friends of theirs.
KG: Talk about the Beach Clean-up project.
TP: It's pretty much the most awesome thing I have been apart of. So many people come out and we pick up so much trash, keep the beaches clean, and then we all celebrate and eat good food, drink good (Barefoot) wine and are merry. Over all it's just a positive event that brings the community together. It helps to keep some of our most beautiful waterways, and beaches Barefoot friendly.
KG: What's next for the future?
TP: Touring with G. Love and Special Sauce and John Butler Trio.
KG: Where do you see yourself heading?
TP: I am not really sure, but my motto is: coming, going, always learning.
Thanks, Tristan – we look forward to hearing a lot more from you for a long time to come!###

The woman who really fascinates men is very "quiet"
02. A "quiet" woman has a dazzling temperament
03. Quietness is a way of living
04. Quiet without arguing, high emotional intelligence
05, Wen Qiusheng's message
Text: Wen Qiusheng
Original article, plagiarism must be investigated
A quiet woman, like a spring breeze, blows her face, silent but comfortable; Noisy woman, no matter how beautiful she looks, it is difficult for people to praise her temperament.
Zhuge Liang said: "Stillness is for self-cultivation, frugality for moral cultivation. Without indifference, there is no clear ambition, and without tranquility, there is no far-reaching."
< /blockquote>
Quietness is the great wisdom of life. Especially in this impetuous and complex world, it is rare for people who can live in meditation.
A truly smart woman lives a "quiet" life.
In this world, one can still maintain a peaceful heart. Walk in the world calmly and gracefully, maintain a quiet and indisputable attitude, and understand the world.
With the enrichment of social experience, many people have been smoothed out and become worldly and sleek. The heart has become complicated and cannot be immersed in the heart.
Not only is it exhausting, but it also gives people a sense of impetuousness.
Through the ages, quiet and virtuous women are more likely to attract men. Because, from the "quiet", their wisdom, temperament, and beauty are more evident.
Quiet is a kind of temperament.
A quiet woman, like a silent flower, wafts in the wind with fragrance, which is enchanting.
In the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru formed a sharp contrast.
Zhao Linger is gentle and quiet, and she exudes a temperament in every gesture, which makes Li Xiaoyao fall in love at first sight, goodbye and peace of mind. Zhao Linger's stillness, like the white moonlight in this world, makes people feel beautiful.
Lin Yueru is cheerful and forthright. Although she loves Li Xiaoyao very much, she often tells him not to regard her as a girl.
Li Xiaoyao finally chose Zhao Linger.
A quiet woman is like a silent lily, plain white and elegant. Although it is not as beautiful as a rose, it always makes people feel relaxed and happy.
A quiet woman always exudes gentleness and tranquility.
"Quiet" women have a unique charm and a dazzling temperament, which attracts men unconsciously.
A quiet woman is like a piece of beautiful jade, without any impurities, transparent and spiritual. People can't help but admire her from the bottom of their hearts.
On the road of life, we must finally learn to reconcile with ourselves and learn to live with ourselves. alone.
There are too many disputes in the world, and it is difficult to understand. Smart women know how to keep the "quiet" in their hearts and deal with the endless problems and conflicts in life calmly and calmly.
The more quiet a woman is in her heart, the easier it is to stay rational and not be controlled by negative emotions such as anxiety and mania.
Quietness is the most advanced way of life for a woman.
As you get older, your heart slowly settles down, and you will find that the excitement is mostly an illusion. In this world, people who hug each other for warmth still cannot make up for the emptiness of the spiritual world.
Being good at solitude is the best way of life for self-cultivation.
Being alone, being with oneself, reconciling with oneself, and gradually gaining a clearer understanding and planning of life, is smart and lucky of.
Women can live more calmly and gain a share of appreciation from men if they keep the peace in their hearts.
In this world, a quiet woman disdains arguing. She has long since looked down on the gains and losses, and no longer cares about others easily , and no longer let yourself live a life of precariousness.
A woman who is quiet and does not fight, overcomes rigidity with softness, has a high emotional intelligence.
Mr. Yang Jiang said: "I don't argue, and I don't disdain anyone who argues with me. "
A woman who is quiet and does not fight, has a high emotional intelligence, although she seems to be fighting for nothing, she is often the final winner.
A real strong person will not waste time on disputes.
A woman who is quiet and does not argue, knows Be soft and overcome the tough, face the most complicated situations with the calmest mind, and won't be easily troubled by emotions.
A quiet woman knows that everything depends on you. At the moment of anger, no matter whether the fight is won or not, you have already lost.
A quiet woman, who handles conflicts rationally, can always be quiet and not fight. , so that men feel that she is more open-minded, gentle and considerate.
A woman who lives very "quietly" has a high emotional intelligence and knows how to take retreat as progress, and overcome strength with softness. Understand that all lost will come back in another way.
What kind of Are women the most fascinated by men?
Women with advantages in appearance will certainly attract men's attention, but long-term infatuation depends on the woman's character.
Women who really make men fascinated are very "quiet".
They are independent, temperamental, right They have a clear understanding of their own life; they are gentle and calm, they can easily control their emotions, and live calmly.
In life, it is better to have a strong heart than to have everything. and for yourself Courage to live.
"Quiet" women have long understood the true meaning of life. They don't seem to fight, they are soft and weak, but in fact, they have become better and better in silence.
"Stillness" is a kind of magic that makes a woman a better version of herself, and thus becomes a dazzling light that attracts men's attention.
For the rest of their lives, women should be quiet women and self-cultivation by "quietness". If you bloom, butterflies will come.

IPO-bound India1 Payments aims to deploy 20,000 ATMs in next 4-5 yrs
By Press Trust of India on 12:34 am January 17, 2022 No Comment
NEW DELHI: IPO-bound India1 Payments Ltd, which is currently rolling out 300-400 ATMs in a month, is hopeful of deploying over 20,000 such machines in the next 4-5 years to ensure cash availability to customers in semi-urban and rural areas, it's MD and CEO K Srinivas said on Sunday.
''The hike in interchange fees by RBI coupled with various structural growth drivers, including an expected increase in cash withdrawal transactions, will accelerate White Label ATMs deployments in the country,'' he said.
The ATMs which are set up, owned, and operated by non-bank entities are known as White Label ATMs (WLAs).
At present, the Bengaluru-headquartered company operates a network of 10,300 WLAs and deploys its ATMs under the brand name of ''india1ATMs''.
It is the second-largest ATM brand in the semi-urban and rural areas after the State Bank of India (SBI).
India1 Payments, promoted by the Banktech Group of Australia and formerly known as BTI Payments, has installed these machines mostly in semi-urban and rural areas across 14 states and union territories.
''In the calendar year, 2021 India1 has rolled out more than 3,000 ATMs and is likely to continue at the same pace in next 4-5 years given the low penetration of ATMs in semi-urban and rural India. That should put India1 in good stead to be a large ATM network with over 20,000 ATMs,'' Srinivas told PTI.
He further said the company will continue to focus on states like UP, Bihar, and West Bengal which have low penetration of ATMs.
The company focuses on ensuring the availability of cash in its ATMs, especially those located in rural areas.
''We are mindful that when a customer comes to our ATMs in rural areas after traveling 8-9 km then he should be able to withdraw money,'' he said.
Srinivas said the company may consider deploying ATMs in the northeast region next year. Currently, the company has no presence in the area.
''We are committed to improving financial inclusion through the accessibility of our ATM services in the under-penetrated semi-urban and rural areas of the country,'' he said.
According to the latest data from the RBI as of September, there were 2.4 lakh ATMs in the country, of them around 28,000 are white-label machines.
The company has grown over 15 percent over last year and accounts for more than 50 percent of incremental ATMs deployed in this period.

At the early age of 5, cooking became a passion for Chris. It was the early 80s and the family had just purchased a microwave. In the box, a recipe book that included instructions on how to make scrambled eggs… in the microwave of course. From then on, the kitchen became a science lab for experimental cooking. As he grew older, watching Julia Child or Yan Can Cook on a black and white 19" television was where he would gain additional knowledge for his kitchen experiments.
Fast forward through college where he was appointed head cook of the apartment for his roommates and then onto married life where he gained a brother-in-law, Tom. After Tom's living six years in North Carolina eating Carolina style BBQ and Chris's three years living in Texas enjoying BBQ and Tex-Mex, they each found themselves back in Pennsylvania, settled down with their respective families and living about three hours apart. Both with a passion for cooking, they were missing BBQ from the states in which they once lived. With nothing to lose, one summer day in 2015 at Tom's parent's house, they set up a Weber Kettle grill in backyard and smoked their first pork butt. It was the best they ever cooked!
BBQ becomes a focus
Researching, reading, learning and practicing was driving their passion to get better to the point they felt that their BBQ was worthy enough of an award. And so began the research to create a team name find a contest. It was Christmas time and the brothers-in-law were in Tom's office with all their kids playing on some wooden instruments. It was hardly music, but they felt they needed a backwoods name for this non-traditional bluegrass band and Brother-Uncle Band was born. "Brother" symbolizing the brother neither had growing up and "Uncle" serving as a reminder to be the best Uncles they could be to each other's kids and best of all, it just had that backwoods sound to it. It was then they knew they had also just created the name for the BBQ team and so BROTHER-UNCLE BARBEQUE was also born. Interstate BBQ Festival would be their first ever competition in the backyard category. After all, they were amateurs, backyard cooks and knew there would be lots to learn so a backyard competition seemed appropriate and they might just stand a chance at being competitive.
Starting in 2016, BBQ competitions would become a family pastime and the team would navigate backyard competitions for the next three years. During that time the team obtained a pair of perfect 180s in ancillary competitions, won several backyard Grand Championships along with introducing Chris's son, Colton, to his first kids Q and watching him score a perfect 180 in tacos to the team being drawn for the 2018 Jack Daniel's World Championship Shadetree Competition in Lynchburg, Tennessee and finishing fourth overall. The team accomplished just about everything a backyard team could in the Mid-Atlantic region. Even though backyard remained a passion, the decision was made to compete in the KCBS Masters series and MABA Rookie Team of the Year as well as adding several SCA competitions to the calendar for the 2019 season with the story to be continued.
Outside of BBQ
Professionally, Chris holds a degree in engineering along with a master's in business. He currently works as an inside sales manager for a large industrial pump company where he has 20+ years of applications, project management, marketing, training and continuous improvement and leadership experience.
At home, Chris and wife, Kelly reside in south central Pennsylvania with their two sons and daughter and their beloved mushy yellow lab, Somer.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, that first backyard competition… Chris & Tom took first place in chicken and were instantly bit by the BBQ competition bug.

Chiles started cooking Brunswick Stew for churches and charities back in early 1990's. His love for stew and cooking grew while he developed a reputation for making this Southern Virginia delicacy. He has taken his stew pot to places like the Virginia Folk Life festival, the National Folk Life Festival at the National Mall in DC, and even attended events like the "Big Apple Block Party" where he cooked right next to BBQ legends Mike Mills and Chris Lilly. This is where is interest in BBQ was sparked, watching fire and smoke transform ordinary meats into extraordinary meals. Chiles is now the Pit Master of "Wolf's Revenge BBQ" and is cooking with a smoker that he designed and built himself, taking it across the country on the KCBS circuit to see how his recipes and skills rank against other professional BBQ teams.

February 12, 2019 2:13 pm	 Comments Off on Robert "BBQ Bob" Trudnak
It started in early childhood in a home where he was the eldest of four children. His mother was a homemaker, and his father worked up to three jobs to support the family. Most Sundays were spent barbecuing at the local state park near their home in the hills of Clarks Summit, PA (pop. 5,100). Sundays were his father's lone day off, and he would spend it grilling and barbecuing in the park's charcoal grills. Trudnak says the witness of his father's selfless sacrifice taught him "how important selfless contribution is to a family's well-being."
When BBQ Bob was seven, his dad placed him "in charge" of putting charcoal in the grill.
He says, "From that day forward, I was hooked on barbecue."
Truly a barbecue lover, no matter the time of year, temperature or weather, as long as he has meat and dry charcoal, you will find BBQ Bob cooking outdoors.
Over the years, he grew to love all cooking and has tirelessly worked to perfect the craft of making delicious food. As a result, he has amassed over 200 awards, plus numerous trophies and titles, cash, and prizes at national and international competitions.
Being a Professional BBQ cook is such a passion, he wants to share the joys of barbequing with others. You can often find him teaching cooking classes throughout the United States and Europe, helping others sharpen their skills and giving special tips and tricks.
"I teach partly because I enjoy teaching," he says, "but most of all, I love teaching people how to cook. I try to explain cooking and make it simple, because it really can be. Anyone can do it. I've seen people create great dishes who never thought they could."
For Trudnak, barbecuing is more than just firing up the smoker. Most of all, he truly believes barbecue is about community, and bringing family and friends together.
Turning a hobby and passion into a profession
About two years later, Pirkle mentioned a side project related to the barbeque industry. Bob's heart started pounding as he listened to his boss describe plans for an electronic device that would make controlling an outdoor BBQ cooker's temperature easy and efficient.
In 1999, the late entrepreneur and barbeque enthusiast "Shotgun" Fred Pirkle needed a marketing and design expert for his industrial valve business and hired Trudnak for the position.
The thought of bringing the world's first BBQ temperature-control device for charcoal and wood-burning cookers to market—and forming a new company called BBQ Guru to launch the product—excited Bob.
Working together, they produced the Pit Minder mechanical temperature control. This control gave smokers and grills oven-like precision over a cooker's heat. It made barbequing easier, more convenient, and fun.
Through the years Bob helped evolve that one product into an entire line of high-tech cooker accessories made by BBQ Guru, which is headquartered in Warminster, PA. These include the top-selling PartyQ, DigiQ, and CyberQ, all of which the majority of America's award-winning BBQ competition teams use.
Because of his leadership in the invention of these revolutionary products, Bob soon earned the nickname "the time and temperature guru".
Trudnak is also the creator of a line of award-winning sauces and rubs. These came out of his childhood-instilled love of foods that are homemade. He says his mother and grandmother only used fresh ingredients, "pasta, meatballs, sauce, and fresh vegetables from the garden. We never ate anything that wasn't made from scratch and not without a whole lotta love."
Bob also uses the sauces and rubs in his catering business, Hav'N a BBQ, which he runs on the side with his wife. The two live in the Philadelphia area with their daughter and son.
BBQ Bob's competition victories and titles include:
Reserve Grand Champion – Jack Daniel's World Championship
2nd Place Ribs American Royal Open
Ribs World Food Championship – Las Vegas
Reserve Grand Champion Smoke on the Water – Atlantic City
Reserve Grand Champion Red White and Que
Many Grand Championships in PA, MD, VA

2017 Boss Frog BBQ Contest in Preston, MD
April 24, 2017 1:08 pm	 Comments Off on 2017 Boss Frog BBQ Contest in Preston, MD
The early 2017 Mid Atlantic BBQ region continued with a the 1st Annual Boss Frog BBQ Contest hosted by The Preston Automotive Group. All proceeds from the contest went to support the March of Dimes. �
Forty-five teams came out to Preston, Maryland on the Eastern Shore to compete. Weather proved to be a challenge for all as often happens at BBQ contests. Thursday saw high winds and rain both impacting contest set up as well as teams traveling. The Eastern Shore is an island and the bridges coming in were shut-down for some periods of time to trailers. With that said, teams still rolled in, even if later than intended, to compete. The rain finished itself off mostly Thursday with the strong winds sticking around for most of the contest. Immediately after turn-ins were complete, the sun was shining and the strong winds died down to a light breeze.
MABA teams had a strong showing at the contest! Some highlights:
Grand Champion: Aporkalypse Now
Reserve Grand: Checkered Flag 500 BBQ
First Place Chicken: 3 Eyz BBQ
First Place Ribs: Aporkalypse Now
First Place Pork: BBQ & Beyond
First Place Brisker: Checkered Flag 500 BBQ
Maryland State Champion: Sauce This BBQ
First Place Anything Butt: BBQ & Beyond
First Place Dessert: Blind Cherry BBQ
[FULL RESULTS�ON KCBS]
Preston Motors announced that they intend to host this event again next year and look forward to having a whole year to make site improvements as well as logistical improvements for water and electric. They gave a special shout out to BBQ Organizer Sandy Fulton for putting this event together in such a short timeline after deciding to host it. Thanks to all attending and hope to see you all again next year!

The state of Antigua and Barbuda, part of the Leeward Islands chain in the eastern Caribbean, is approximately 420 km (261 mi) SE of the US Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and 180 km (110 mi) N of the French overseas department of Guadeloupe. The total land area of 440 sq km (170 sq mi) includes Antigua (280 sq km/108 sq mi); Barbuda (161 sq km/62 sq mi); and uninhabited Redonda (1.3 sq km/5 sq mi), located 40 km (25 mi) to the SW. This total area comprises slightly less than 2.5 times the size of Washington, D.C. The total coastline is 153 km (95 mi). Antigua and Barbuda's capital city, St. John's, is located on the northwestern edge of the island of Antigua.
Antigua and Barbuda adheres to the common external tariff schedule of CARICOM; rates (which range up to 35%) are generally ad valorem, based on the cost, insurance, and freight value, and a wide range of goods is permitted duty-free entry. Additional special rates are applied for tobacco, cement, petroleum products, vans and trucks, and certain types of timber.
Antigua and Barbuda Customs Duty
Antigua and Barbuda's Customs Tariff is based on the Common External Tariff (CET) of the Caribbean Common Market. It employs a seven-digit nomenclature based on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (H.S.).
Antigua is a member of the Caribbean Community's (CARICOM) Common Market. Goods originating in CARICOM Member States receive CARICOM preferential treatment, and do not attract import duties once they satisfy agreed CARICOM rules of origin.
Customs Duty is around 60% of the value of the vehicle. Once your vehicle arrives, you will have to meet with Customs to begin the clearing process, first is the agreement on the value, then if it has a/c - it will need to be inspected, pay any fees (other than the duty) & get all the paperwork stamped by the various agencies. You will want to get all of this done as quickly as possible because the port is going to charge you for each day that the vehicle is in their possession. If the car is used you also have to pay an environmental tax.
Returning Antiguan
Nationals returning home who have been abroad for Ten years or longer will be regarded as Returning Nationals and are entitled to bring in one motor-car provided that the vehicle has been owned for at least 2 years.

Appalachian Beekeeping Collective voted Best Honey in WVa
Kelton Boblits to bring ragtime to opera house this weekend
MARLINTON (WVDN) – Piano player Kelton Boblits is set to perform at the Pocahontas County Opera House this weekend. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the historic opera house in downtown Marlinton.
Known for its diversity and range, old-time piano playing covers everything from ragtime piano and Harlem stride to boogie-woogie dance and standards of the 1930s. Boblits, a musician from Fayette County, has been sharing old-time piano music with a wide variety of audiences for the past eight years. Boblits's distinct style of playing provides a unique listening experience for both fans of old-time piano music and those who are new to the genre.
Playing piano since the age of 6, Boblits was inspired to pursue old-time music after hearing a recording of "Maple Leaf Rag." He began performing throughout his home state in schools, churches and other venues before eventually finding himself competing in the World Championship Old-Time Piano Playing Contest in Oxford, Miss., where he won first place in the junior division (ages 17 and under) in both 2018 and 2019.
"His playing is effortless, exciting and fun," described an audience member. "His playing is assured and shows the depth of his knowledge of this music."
Audiences enjoy Boblits's repertoire from half a century of musical history and, while true to the style of old-time piano, he includes his own flare and interpretations of many pieces. He is sure to leave his audiences with a memorable performance and a new appreciation for America's first popular music.

Ashley Kay's "Ex Recovery System" program is one of many "get your ex back" guides available for sale online. But how does it stack up against the competition? In this review, I'll give my thoughts on the Ex Recovery System and whether it is a worthwhile investment.
Like most products that teach you how to win back an ex girlfriend or boyfriend, Ashley Kay's program is sold via her website and is 100% digital… you can download the e-book and bonus components within minutes of ordering. Orders of Ashley's program are processed via ClickBank.
The "Ex Recovery System" offers a decent amount of valuable advice, but fails to deliver in several areas. As a result, I recommend opting for one of the other available products (such as Text Your Ex Back or The Ex Factor Guide) instead.
Click here to visit Ashley Kay's website.
I should start by stating that while Ashley Kay's "Ex Recovery System" is far from my favorite guide to winning back your ex (see the list of product reviews for my recommended alternatives), it's still a reasonably well thought out program that will increase your chances of successfully repairing the relationship with your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend.
What Ashley has done well in her book is assembled a collection of strategies and tactics that have been proven to elicit a positive response from your ex. The program is laid out in a logical, step by step format and offers some interesting insight (particularly for male readers). It's obviously been put together by a professional, and although the program as a whole won't win any awards for beauty and aesthetics, it's perfectly adequate in that regard.
Compared with other competitor programs, however, The Ex Recovery System falls short in several key areas. My first complaint is a minor one, but I still found it unusual: there's an unnecessarily large portion of the book that's dedicated to long-distance relationships. Hey, if you've broken up with an ex who lives elsewhere, then maybe this is the program for you. If you don't need all that stuff about distance relationships, however, then you're probably better off with Brad Browning's Ex Factor Guide.
The rest of the book feels a bit light on details and real-world advice, and many of Ashley's recommended strategies sound interesting enough but the reader is left wondering how to apply them to their everyday situation when interacting with their ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend. That's the type of advice that can really make or break a program like Ashley's, and I definitely think readers would benefit from more examples when it comes to apply her recommended tactics.
In addition to this general feeling that the book isn't comprehensive enough, I'd also suggest that Ashley has focused too much on a 'typical' breakup without addressing any of the 'what ifs'. For example, she suggests not to contact your ex after breaking up… but what if you lived together? Or work together? There just isn't enough in-depth material overall to make this a worthwhile program for anyone whose breakup or relationship is somehow unique or different from the average person's.
Lastly, and perhaps most concerning, my emails to Ashley requesting a bit of personal advice and support went unanswered – all four of them over 3 weeks. That kind of total lack of customer support is the complete opposite of what I experienced when dealing with other 'breakup experts' (TW Jackson, Brad Browning, and Michael Fiore all responded to my first email within 48 hours). Although it's possible Ashley may have been on vacation or missed my emails for some reason, but nonetheless I've come to expect much better support when dealing with other e-book authors.
I had no problem with Ashley's ordering or payment system, since she uses ClickBank and the e-book is in standard PDF format. In this regard The Ex Recovery System is comparable to other programs.
Well, for some people, The Ex Recovery System could offer some useful advice and may boost your chances of getting back together with your ex. But the reality is that other programs — specifically The Ex Factor Guide and Text Your Ex Back — offer more usable advice, more proven strategies, and much better value for your money.

Today I tried one more time to make a site with Google Sites.
Google Sites is supposed to be some sort of multi-function wiki. Wikis are reliable because one writes using some simple syntax in plain text. Google Sites went the WYSIWYG road and it's a disaster..
Try to use a table, or to put a few pictures next to each other horizontally, and you are in for quite a ride.
Layout goes completely nuts. I understand the underlying issues with the brain-dead CSS crap.. but the editing engine is so bad that it's a continuous struggle, a very frustrating experience indeed.
A quick look at the HTML view of the page generated by Sites is very revealing.. tons of junk tags generated by editing operations. Sometimes I press backspace and nothing happens... and press and press, until what I was trying to delete gets deleted.
There is obviously a big gap between what I see on screen and the internal representation of the page.
Perhaps the problem is that Google Sites works directly in HTML and CSS which are very poor at representing layout without direct intervention of a human expert in the "art" of putting on image next the another using CSS and HTML.
I don't see Google going anywhere with this.
I'm going to try a few alternatives and then I'll see. Going back to doing HTML by hand or with tools like Dreamweaver is an option, but I hate having to FTP pictures and to have to make thumbnails by hand !
Try a real wiki like wikidot.com. You'll be impressed by how many powerful features it has for bringing up complex sites. In fact, calling it "a wiki" is a bad approximation.
Thanks for the suggestion, however I was looking more at something that allowed me a bit more freedom in placing things in the page.
Classical wiki a too strict for my needs, and also I need no public editing features.

Bogusław Teryks (ur. 1961 we Wrocławiu) – polski artysta lutnik, mieszkający na stałe w Niemczech, światowej klasy twórca gitar klasycznych. Jako jeden z pierwszych lutników na świecie opanował sztukę wykonywania gitar klasycznych z płytą wierzchnią typu "sandwich".

Lutniczy egzamin mistrzowski z wynikiem celującym zdał w 1996 roku w Mittenwaldzie w Niemczech. Jest twórcą ponad 200 gitar.

Jest częstym gościem festiwali gitarowych w Polsce, podczas których prezentuje instrumenty i wygłasza prelekcje.

Instrumenty
Specjalnością Bogusława Teryksa są gitary koncertowe, wykonywane na zamówienie, dzięki temu dopasowane do ich właściciela. Znakiem rozpoznawczym jego gitar są bogate zdobienia detali, unikatowe dla każdego instrumentu. Należą do nich m.in. ozdobne wydłużenie podstrunnicy przy otworze rezonansowym oraz rzeźbiona główka.

Najcenniejszymi gitarami są te z płytą wierzchnią typu "sandwich" (także ang. double-top). Jej konstrukcja polega na zastąpieniu jednolitej płyty drewnianej dwiema cienkimi, między którymi umieszcza się specjalny wypełniacz. Technika ta wymaga wyjątkowej precyzji i dużego doświadczenia, dlatego z powodzeniem stosuje ją tylko kilku lutników na świecie.

Electromagnetic pulse
A pulse grenade in Fallout 3.
An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a short burst of electromagnetic energy capable of disabling or damaging electrical and electronic equipment. This property led to its weaponization by the military, from man-portable weapons to the mighty nuclear weapons. Of course, EMP can also be generated by natural causes, such as a lightning strike, which can also damage non-electrical and non-electronic components.
The principal mechanics behind the interaction between electricity (and, by extension, electronics) date back to the 19th century, though the first practical implementation came in the form of the first nuclear weapon, developed during the Trinity project. The scientists working on the Manhattan Project were well aware of the potential the EMP effect could have and special shielding was used to protect electronics and electrical cables.
The Trinity test began the development of EMP weapons. The understanding of the effect and its practical application developed over the decades as nuclear weapons technology developed. However, it truly hit its stride in the 21st century, with the introduction of military combat robots, such as the robobrain, sentry bots, or Mister Gutsy types of artificial constructs.
The United States was one of the industry leaders, and developed practical EMP weapons of its own, so that it would retain the ability to counter oppositional robotics. Though the Navy were involved with a significant project at Sugar Grove involving the technology,[1] others tried their hand at harnessing it. These attempts ranged from the small pulse grenades, through dedicated EMP guns, to hybrid energy pulse weapons and force field disrupting modules. Not satisfied at creating only ranged EMP weapons, the manufacturer of the pneumatic power fist created a line of prototype EMP power fists. Even after the Great War, EMP weapons are extremely useful and popular with wasteland denizens, due to their ability to make short work of any robot or enemy in power armor that endangers them.
Overview of effects Edit
Although fundamentally similar, the effects of EMP weapons are divided into two basic categories, depending on the scale of the weapon: Nuclear EMP and non-nuclear EMP.
Nuclear electromagnetic pulse Edit
An intercontinental ballistic missile seen when launched. These weapons are capable of causing widespread destruction through the combination of their destructive capabilities and the three stage EMP they generate.
Apart from the devastating thermal radiation and overpressure effects generated by a detonating nuclear weapon, electromagnetic radiation is one of the potentially most destructive elements of such an attack. A nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP) is a complex of three separate pulses: E1, E2 and E3.
The E1 pulse is the first, very fast component. It is a very brief but intense electromagnetic field that induces very high voltages in electrical conductors. This sudden voltage spike is too powerful and too fast for most surge protectors to handle and is fully capable of destroying electronic and electrical equipment. The heat generated by the voltage may cause fire and explosive damage. Even if the pulse is withstood by the equipment, the spike can be amplified if the conductor acts as an antenna (like, for example, unshielded power transmission lines), causing damage from another source.
The E2 pulse is generated by scattered gamma rays and inelastic gammas produced by neutrons, which lasts from about 1 microsecond to 1 second after the explosion. It is quite similar to lightning strikes and less damaging than the E1 pulse. However, as it occurs a fraction of a second after E1, it has the potential to further damage or destroy equipment weakened or damaged by the E1 pulse.
The E3 pulse is much different. Is is a very slow pulse, lasting tens to hundreds of seconds, caused by the temporary distortion of the Earth's magnetic field. It is fundamentally similar to geomagnetic storms caused by solar flares and can induce currents in long electrical conductors, such as power lines, leading to damage and destruction of electrical infrastructure.
Non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse Edit
A pulse grenade, capable of creating a short range EMP capable of disabling electronics.
A non-nuclear EMP (NNEMP) is not comparable to a NEMP in terms of range or area of effect. However, it allows for much finer target selection and control over its effects. The NNEMP focuses on the equivalent of the E1 pulse: Creating a small, very brief and very intense electromagnetic field that induces very high voltages in electrical conductors. The EMP is typically capable of destroying electronic and electrical equipment through this effect. Even military robots with dedicated shielding can succumb to EMP weapons that are powerful enough.
A variety of methods exist for the generation of NNEMP. The most widespread are various explosively pumped flux compression generators, otherwise known as pulse grenades and mines. These use chemical explosives and are capable of creating very powerful pulses. The downside is that each is a one-shot device.
To counter this effect, man-portable NNEMP weapons were developed, such as the prototype Circuitbreaker pulse gun, prototype EMP power fists or the hybrid Yuma Flats Energy Consortium pulse pistols and rifles. These use conventional energy cells for generating high energy directed electromagnetic pulses, typically using a parabolic antenna.
Protection against EMP Edit
Electromagnetic pulse is not an all-destructive force, however. It is entirely possible to protect electronics against damage caused by EMP with the proper precautions. Living beings, such as humans, are usually unaffected by EMP weapons, save for a small tingling sensation. However, electronic implants may malfunction when exposed to electromagnetic pulses.
EMP shielding can take on a variety of forms, but its effectiveness relies greatly on the type of EMP being protected against. The prevalence of vacuum tube and other analog technology throughout the world[2] naturally increases the resistance of any electronics to EMP, as these types of devices are much more resistant to electromagnetic fields. For added protection, even grounded metal shielding can effectively dissipate the voltage generated by an EMP and render it harmless.
The ideal form of shielding is a Faraday cage, which effectively isolates its contents from the currents generated by the EMP. The clunky metal cases that dominated 21st century computer design are, in fact, impromptu cages of this type, and are a contributing factor to the relative high survival rate among them.
However, EMP shielding is not always practical. The complex designs of combat robots and power armor, with plenty of moving parts, preclude the application of a Faraday cage. While measures can be taken to reduce the damage an EMP can cause, these technologies remain painfully vulnerable to electromagnetic pulse weapons.

Lawyers Threaten to Sue Del Mar and Encinitas Over Housing Plans
Two environmental attorneys are gearing up to force coastal cities' hands in making way for new housing. Attorneys Marco Gonzalez and Cory Briggs have said they're planning to file lawsuits against Encinitas and Del Mar over land use issues that have ended up on the ballot in both cities this November.
By Maya Srikrishnan.
Two environmental attorneys are gearing up to force coastal cities' hands in making way for new housing, as required by state law.
Attorneys Marco Gonzalez and Cory Briggs have said they're planning to file lawsuits against Encinitas and Del Mar over land use issues that have ended up on the ballot in both cities this November.
Measure R in Del Mar is one of several local ballot measures across the state that would give voters the right to approve or reject projectsthat exceed the number of homes allowed on a property.
Meanwhile, Measure T in Encinitas gives the city's residents the choice of adopting the city's housing element – a state-required plan that all cities must have, showing where they would allow more housing to be built. Usually City Councils just adopt these plans, but Encinitas voters in 2013 approved a measure forcing all zoning changes to the ballot, which now applies even to this state-mandated plan.
Briggs is representing the Affordable Housing Coalition of San Diego County, a nonprofit that advocates for more low- and middle-income housing.
According to a June letter to the city, he plans on suing Del Mar if the city doesn't follow through with increasing density in a certain part of the city designated for more housing in its 2013 housing element. The area, the North Commercial Zone, is also the site of a controversial development project, the Watermark Del Mar, which spurred Measure R.
"Despite the City's promises, and its commitments to discreet timelines for rezoning, the City has failed to take necessary steps to facilitate the construction of even one affordable housing unit," wrote Briggs in the letter.
During a panel at the San Diego Housing Federation's annual affordable housing conference, Gonzalez announced that if Measure T doesn't pass in Encinitas, he will take legal action against the city.
He said he will be sending the city a letter, laying out the potential litigation and the risks it faces if the measure doesn't pass.
Encinitas has already been sued twice for not having a housing element – once by the Building Industry Association and once by a local developer. The city spent $325,000 settling those lawsuits, and agreed to put the housing element on the November ballot.
Gonzalez said he'll argue the city is obligated to adopt a housing element, regardless of the local initiative passed in 2013.
"Basically, I'm going to tell the City Council that they have to adopt a housing element outright and that's it," he said after the panel. "State law pre-empts city law when it comes to housing."
But he isn't stopping with Encinitas.
Gonzalez also said he plans on looking at other cities across the county to see if they actually increased the development potential on properties that they marked as growth opportunities in their housing elements. He suspects some, like Del Mar, said they would increase density to appease the state and then never followed through.
During the panel, Gonzalez said that since the state hasn't been heavy-handed in enforcing its affordable housing policy, it's up to lawyers to make sure local jurisdictions are doing their part to address the state's housing affordability issues.
"They system's clearly broken," he said. "Housing law is a joke in this state in terms of enforcement."

Jack Moran (July 4, 1894 – November 4, 1966) was an American professional boxer from 1911-1922. At birth, his last name was Cizek, which he changed to Moran for promotional reasons. He fought for the world light heavyweight boxing title.

Career
In January 1917 he took a newspaper decision over Jack Geyer. In his next bout he fought a draw with Gunboat Smith. In March 1917 he faced Battling Levinsky, losing on points in a fight for the world light heavyweight title.

In March 1917 he was stopped in the third round by Jack Dillon, and in September 1918 was knocked pout in the first round by Jack Dempsey in Reno. Despite never winning again, he continued to fight until 1922, with a brief comeback in 1931.

He later worked as a boxing referee.

Moran died on November 4, 1966, aged 72.

In the 29 bouts listed by Boxrec.com, he:
 Won 2 (KO 1) + lost 17 (KO 15) + drawn 2 = 21
 rounds boxed 102
 Newspaper decisions won 2 + lost 5 + drawn 1  = 8
 rounds boxed 74

Opponents

Notable boxers he fought included:
 Jack Burke
 Jack Dempsey
 Jack Dillon
 Fred Fulton
 Battling Levinsky
 Bob Martin
 Billy Miske
 Archie Moore
 Carl E. Morris

August 4, 2015 Commemorates the 225th Anniversary of the United States Coast Guard and Connecticut is leading the charge on celebrating this monumental occasion.
The United States Coast Guard's bond with the state of Connecticut runs as wide and deep as Long Island Sound. From the early days Revenue Cutters patrolled the Connecticut coast line upholding the law and protecting the communities and people who made their living from the sea. For over 100 years the future leaders of the Coast Guard have been trained in New London. When it came time to establish a permanent school to educate the future leaders of the service, New London became its home in 1910 when the Revenue Cutter School of Instruction at Fort Trumbull opened its doors. The modern Coast Guard Academy was born in 1915 when the Life Saving Service and Revenue Cutter Service merged to become the U.S. Coast Guard. The city's commitment to the Coast Guard was so strong that when the nascent Academy outgrew its facilities at Fort Trumbull in the 1930s New London presented the Coast Guard with the ground upon which the Academy currently makes its home.
The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is one of just five service academies in the nation educating today's military leaders. This was recognized formally during President Obama's 2015 State of the Union address when the small coastal city received a shout out of national proportions.
Major events have already been organized in the City of New London and surrounding towns throughout the summer. Most are family friendly and celebrate Connecticut's maritime roots and cultural diversity while highlighting our unique partnerships with the U.S. Coast Guard.
Connecticut's celebration of the Coast Guard will begin long before the August 4 Birthday, as Coast Guard history isintroduced to New London public schools through the Newspapers in Education program coordinated by The Day.
Newspapers in Education is a cooperative effort of publishers and thousands of schools in the United States where newspapers are used as a tool of instruction. Additional history and educational materials can be found on www.pinterest.com/NewLondonArts/coast-guard-summer if you wish to dig in a little deeper with your kids.
Maritime history and connections to the Coast Guard are everywhere in Connecticut and while there are many special events, tried and true Connecticut experiences are also getting into the celebration.
For example, almost every weekend throughout the summer you can take a boat tour of Connecticut's lighthouses through Sentinels on the Sound: Summer Lighthouse Weekend boat tours run by the New London Maritime Society. Little known fact: according to the United States Coast Guard, from the top of New London Harbor Light, one can see more lighthouses than from any other place on earth! The seven lighthouses are: New London Ledge, Race Rock, Little Gull Island, Plum Island, Little Dumpling, Montauk and Avery Point. More information about Lighthouse tours can be found at www.nlmaritimesociety.org.
Eastern Connecticut is also the future home of the first National Coast Guard Museum in New London, Connecticut. Coast Guard Summer 2015 will help raise awareness for this much needed museum, currently there are 87 military museums throughout the country, but none dedicated to the service men and women of the United States Coast Guard. The museum, slated to open in 2018, will be a premier attraction for all of Connecticut and the entire country. The museum is 25% of the way to its $100 million fundraising goal. To track the progress and learn more visit www.coastguardmuseum.org.
As you plan your family outings for this summer – Connecticut's Coast Guard Summer events provide fun in the sun while honoring those who remain "Semper Paratus", ready to protect us day in and day out.
