Tired

Today we woke up early to clean the back room that is going to be mom and dad's room. I am so tired. My back is aching and having a slight abdominal pain. I am scared because I was lifting some light weight things a while ago but I think I forced myself too much. I hope our baby is okay. I plan to just take a rest today. Have a great day everyone.

Rant PATH Train Fire Stops Transit

A fire in Journal Square has stopped PATH train service between New Jersey and New York. PATH train service will continue to be suspended for some time. You can find more information at the official Port Authority of New Jersey and New York website.

According to news reports, PATH train service was suspended because of an electrical fire in the main Journal Square control center in Jersey City. It’s unclear when the PATH trains will start moving again, but a Port Authority spokesperson has said that NJ transit will be honoring PATH tickets between Hoboken and New York. PATH trains first stopped service at 1:20 p.m. because of an electrical fire in the wiring at the control center in Jersey City.

Good Hygiene and clean surroundings

I always have this problem when I am cleaning the house. It's about cleaning the carpet. I don't know what do others do that they can maintain to clean their carpet but mine was a mess. All I want is to have a clean carpet, presentable when we have guest and looks great in our living room. I use to complain to my husband to change it with a new one but he there should be a way to clean it properly. Well, I wish I know how but still we haven't discovered a certain product or a certain service that will grant us with what we are wishing. It is important to me that my surroundings are clean. I mean in and out of the house. I believe in hygiene and cleanliness because it keeps us healthy and safe to any disease surrounding us. That's I am very meticulous when it comes to cleaning. My husband use to tell me I am so strict in our house cleanliness. Well I have to because it is for our own good. I know all of you will agree to that. Gratefully I found Austin Carpet Cleaning, the resolution to my problem. That offers services to clean carpet and has the same belief that I do. I am so glad and now I don't have to worry with my surroundings anymore especially in cleaning my carpet because I found a helping hand that meets my expectations.

Silver Morgan Dollar Coin


The Comstock Lode, the greatest silver strike in history, was discovered in Nevada in the late 1850s. The strike put downward pressure on silver prices worldwide. The greatest silver strike in history was followed by the greatest coinage boondoggle in history. In 1878, to protect the interest of the western states, Congress passed the Bland-Allison Act which required the Treasury Department to purchase large amounts of silver, and to strike it as coins. For reasons of economy, the Treasury chose to strike the silver as dollars. The mintage was far more than was needed in circulation. These excess silver dollars quickly began piling up. Some original mint bags of Morgan dollars remained in treasury vaults until the 1960s. This strange past has led to one of the greatest collectible series in American coins providing collectors with many dates and mint marks readily obtainable in mint state condition along with challenging rarities. The Morgan Dollar is a silver United States dollar coin. The dollars were minted from 1878 to 1904 and again for one more year in 1921. The Morgan Dollar is named after its designer, George T. Morgan, who designed the obverse and reverse of the coin. Morgan's monogram appears near Lady Liberty's neck on the obverse. The dollar was authorized by the Bland- Allison Act of 1878. It has a fineness of .900, giving a total silver content of 0.77344 troy ounces (24.057 grams) per coin. When the Morgan Dollar was minted in 1878, it was the first dollar issued for American commercial use since the last Seated Liberty Dollar of 1873. The Trade Dollar was minted during this time period but was for trade in the orient. The Morgan Dollar was continuously minted until 1904 when the supply of Morgan Dollars in circulation was high and there was an absence of silver bullion. Then in 1918, the Pittman Act called for over 270 million coins to be melted for silver content. In 1921, the coinage of the Morgan Dollar resumed for that year and was replaced by the Peace Dollar commemorative that would become standard issue. Since 1921, many Morgan Dollars have been melted, mostly when silver prices escalate and they yield silver bullion. Caches of Morgan Dollars produced at the Carson City Mint were discovered and were sold to coin collectors by the federal government in the early 1970s. These dollars were un-circulated and are called GSAs (named after the General Services Administration) and come in holds that mimic the holds used for proof silver Eisenhower dollars.

Car Steering Dealer

Since, I practice driving now, I also spend time knowing the different parts of a vehicle and where to get it. The only part of a vehicle that I am good in memorizing is the power steering rack. Well it is very noticeable you will always see it whenever you are driving. But also I get curious to where I could find a dealer for the different part that I need just in case some parts of my vehicle break down. I found carsteering.com. They have the huge selection of the different parts of a vehicle. That's great and I don't need to run around because I can order it online. Check it out!

Profession

Just a thought if there's best places to be a nurse. Probably there is because best nurses won't exist if they are not a product of best schools. I salute every nurse I met because of their dedication. I was hospitalized several time and nurses has done an excellent job to keep me well. I wonder why I didn't take this profession but being a nurse is such a tough job. You have to be very attentive to your patient and know what you are doing because it is a matter of life and death of your patient. For me, nurses are the guardian angel of a certain patient because they always look over you and attend to your need all the time. They are like heroes that are always ready there for you and are always ready to help you and assist you whenever you need something. They are brilliant and very supportive. If you are interested on this profession. Make a thorough research. You can check any in style scrubs website to help you know more about this profession.

Plastic Surgeons in you area

I have heard so much about plastic surgeons. I get so curious on what they do behind the operating room when they do the breast augmentation, lipo and cosmetic surgeries like that. Sometimes it makes me think, what if I will try one of the process, that would be great. Out of my curiosity, I did some research and found a website where I could locate the nearest plastic surgeons in our area. All you have to do is typed in your zipcode on the space provided on their website and they will give you all the information you need.

Don't Forget the Lyrics' worth remembering to see tonight

Summertime Fridays are a dead zone for most networks, but Fox is trying. Tonight, it launches the summer run of "Lyrics." Rock star Meat Loaf teams with his daughter, Pearl Aday, as contestants. A week later, a new scripted show ("Mental") will follow at 8 p.m. Filling the spot tonight, Fox inserts a rerun of the terrific "House" season-opener. When the previous season ended, Amber (Wilson's loved one) had died. It was partly House's fault; now Wilson has quit his job and his friendship. Tonight's patient is the assistant to a hard-driving female executive. House spouts some nonsense (as he tends to) against feminism, while diagnosing her. Tonight's Might-See: "Everybody Hates Chris," 7 and 8 p.m., CW. This clever series -- with Chris Rock narrating a comic version of his boyhood -- has spent its fourth season buried in Friday obscurity. Here's a second chance to catch the start of the season. In the first episode, Chris starts high school in an all-white home room with a bigoted teacher. In the second, he'll help a classmate with home-ec skills, in exchange for being hooked up with a hot girl. Meanwhile, Chris' younger sister Tonya has trouble. In the first episode, she's too blunt while helping at the salon; in the second, she's supposed to take care of a neighbor's fish. Also, their mom is annoyed by the return of Tasha's mother, a talkative ex-con. Other choices include: "Ghost Whisperer," 7 p.m., CBS. This rerun offers a fresh worry for online users: A ghost is stalking young women who use a gaming site. Isn't there some sort of anti-virus for that? "Howie Do It," 7 and 7:30 p.m., NBC. In the first episode, a man with no singing or dancing talent is told he's competing in "Unisexy 5000," to form a new pop group; also, Howie Mandel plays an uncooperative concierge. The second includes a botched magic trick; Criss Angel guests. "Fred Claus" (2007), 7 p.m., HBO. Who knew that Santa Claus had a self-centered brother named Fred? He's played convincingly by Vince Vaughn, in a pleasant-enough comedy that has Paul Giamatti as Santa. "Unforgiven" (1992), 7-10 p.m., History Channel. Clint Eastwood directed this cowboy classic and plays a former gunman, trying one last job. The film is slow at times, but beautifully crafted. It won four Oscars (best picture, director and editing, plus Gene Hackman in support) and was nominated for five more. There's great work from Morgan Freeman, Frances Fisher, Richard Harris and more. "Flashpoint," 8 p.m., CBS. This rerun sees a man hold a courtroom captive, while trying to prove he was wrongly convicted."Numb3rs," 9 p.m., CBS. Expensive things are being stolen from a shipping service, in this rerun. Meanwhile, Don loses confidence in the FBI, after a colleague is killed.

4 design of 2009 Lincoln pennies

The United States Mint will mint and issue four different 2009 Lincoln pennies in recognition of the bicentennial birth of President Abraham Lincoln and the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent. While the obverse or heads side of the penny remains unchanged, the new reverse designs beautifully portray facets of Lincoln’s life, with the first cent officially launched into circulation on Feb. 12, at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site, in Hodgenville, Kentucky.

2009 Lincoln Cent Design Four
2009 Lincoln Cent Design Two



When the first 2009 penny was issued on Lincoln’s birthday, Feb. 12, it marked the first redesign of the cent in 50 years. At the time the 2009 Lincoln cent designs were first revealed, United States Mint Director Ed Moy said:

“This is a momentous occasion in the history of our Nation’s coinage because these designs represent the first change in the Lincoln cent in half a century.

These coins are a tribute to one of our greatest Presidents whose legacy has had a lasting impact on our country. He believed all men were created equal, and his life was a model for accomplishing the American dream through honesty, integrity, loyalty, and a lifetime of education.”

Each penny will be released into general circulation at approximately three-months intervals throughout 2009. Although the US Mint has not officially declared exact release dates, the expected launch dates for the second, third and fourth penny are May 14, Aug. 13 and Nov. 12.

At the conclusion of the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial Program — years 2010 and beyond — the one-cent coin will feature a reverse design that will be "emblematic of President Lincoln’s preservation of the United States of America as a single and united country."

2009 Lincoln Silver Dollars further honor America’s revered leader. The United States Mint has struck collector proof and uncirculated silver coins with a limited total mintage of 500,000.

In the first week of sales alone, 116,558 of the proofs and 61,164 of the uncirculated coins were purchased by collectors. By the second week, nearly half of the authorized mintage was sold.

The Lincoln coins were authorized through the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, which was signed into law (Public Law 109-145) on Dec. 22, 2005 by President George Bush.

Heel Stick: Genetic Screening

The Heel Stick test is a genetic analysis performed on newborn babies to screen for potentially fatal genetic disorders.

Why do I need a Heel Stick test for my baby?

Although your living family may not have certain genetic disorders it is not out of the realm of possibility that a recessive gene may have become active in your child. The test can prevent permanent disability, mental retardation and in some cases death.

How are Heel Stick tests performed?

The Heel Stick test is done soon after you child is born, usually within the first 48 hours. Your baby’s heel is pricked and a few drops of blood are taken for analysis; the nurse collects nine or ten drops of blood and ships the sample to a lab to get tested. It is often wise to get your baby tested multiple times in order to produce the most accurate results.What disorders are tested for?

There are five categories of disorders that are screened:

Amino acid metabolism disorders
Babies with amino acid metabolism disorders, as the name suggests, have problems metabolizing certain amino acids. Babies born with amino acid metabolism disorders have missing or defective enzymes that metabolize proteins. The amino acids either are not broken down or the body cannot transport the amino acids into the cells. As a result, amino acids or nitrogen (a component of amino acids) build up in the body to toxic levels. Amino acid metabolism disorders include Phenylketonuria(PKU), Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), Homocystinuria (HCY), Citrullinemia (CIT), Argininosuccinic academia (ASA), and Tyrosinemia type I (TYR I).

Organic Acid Metabolism Disorders

Babies with organic acid metabolism disorders cannot process certain branched amino acids. Babies born with this disorder do not produce the enzymes or have malfunctioning enzymes that do not break down these amino acids properly. As a result, organic acids build up to toxic level in the body. Some organic acid metabolism disorders that your baby might be screened for are Isovaleric academia (IVA), Glutaric acidemia type I (GA I), and Hydroxymethylglutaric aciduria or HMG-CoA lyase (HMG).

Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders
Fatty acid oxidation refers to the way your body breaks down fat. Fat is broken down in several steps and requires a number of enzymes. If one of the enzymes in this process is not working properly the body cannot turn fat into energy for the body. The body’s main source of energy is glucose, but if there is no glucose available, your body turns to fat for energy. Babies with fatty acid oxidation disorders have malfunctioning enzymes so their bodies cannot turn fat into energy. Some examples of fatty acid oxidation disorders that your baby might be screened for are Long Chain 3-Hydroxyacyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (LCHAD), Medium Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (MCAD), Short Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (SCAD), Trifunctional Protein Deficiency (TFP Deficiency), or Very Long Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (VLCAD).

Hemoglobinopathies and sickle cell disease
Hemoglobinopathies and sickle cell disease are disorders caused by abnormal hemoglogin, a protein in red blood cells that is responsible for transporting oxygen to the body. Babies with these hemoglobinopathies may have problems with red blood cell production resulting in anemia (shortage of red blood cells) or produce abnormally shaped red blood cells that cause problems in blood circulation and damage easily. These disorders include sickle cell anemia, Thalassemia, and Hb S/C disease.

Other disorders

Other disorders your baby might be screened for include Congenital hypothyroidism (a hormone deficiency that causes problems with growth and brain development), Biotinidase deficiency, Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (an endocrine disorder that affects hormone production from the adrenal gland), or Cystic Fibrosis (a life threatening disease that causes mucous secretions in the lungs to become thick causing severe respiratory problems).

If your baby tests positive during the Heel Stick screening you will need to bring your child in for additional testing. The tests are very sensitive so false positives are a common occurrence. You may need to consult a genetic specialist or pediatrician to entirely diagnose your child.

Job seekers

When I was working before, I was into sales. But I quit and left the Philippines for the States. Now I am back to zero. I do want to start a job soon especially that I already got my employment authorization which legally binds me to take a job.

The siblings and lawyers had invaded the finale of "amazing race" last night. I really though that Luke and his mom is going to win because they were way ahead of the race but Luke got confused and was destructed on his last 2 pieces of the task and Victor got a head of him. It was an awesome ending. Winners were declared on a fair game and these amazing siblings had truly lead the game.

AC compressor

Summer is almost here and have you noticed, the weather is changing everyday. What I mean about changing everyday is, it is getting hotter and hotter and soon it's humid and can you imagine that? Well, yes because I myself can relate. An air conditioner really helps a lot during this season but how about when you are out or have to buy something in the store, has your car has an air conditioner? Better be. Check your AC Compressor regularly and make sure it's working before you burn inside your car. Also visit http://www.1airconditioning.com for assistance on this matter.
