Wright brothers
Wright brothers, American airplane inventors and aviation pioneers. Orville Wright 1871–1948, was born in Dayton, Ohio, and Wilbur Wright, 1867–1912, near New Castle, Ind. Their interest in aviation was aroused in the 1890s by the German engineer Otto Lilienthal's glider flights. Both excellent mechanics, the Wrights used the facilities of the bicycle repair shop and factory which they operated (1892–1904) at Dayton for the construction of their early aircraft. By experimenting with movable portions of the wing assembly, rather than shifts in bodily weight, as a means of correcting the aircraft's position in flight they made an important improvement in aircraft design. During this period they drew up valuable tables of wind pressure and drift. Orville designed an engine, which they constructed and attached to their improved glider.
On Dec. 17, 1903, they made near Kitty Hawk, N.C., the first controlled, sustained flights in a power-driven airplane. Of their four flights on that day, the first, made by Orville, lasted 12 sec, and the fourth, by Wilbur, covered 852 ft (259 m) in 59 sec. The brothers continued their experiments at Dayton and built several biplanes. Record-breaking flights in 1908 by Orville in the United States and by Wilbur in France brought them worldwide fame. In 1909 the U.S. government accepted the Wright machine for army use, and the brothers established the Wright Company. The house where Orville was born and the bicycle-shop laboratory have been restored and were moved to Greenfield Village, Mich.

In a downtown coffee shop, Tupelo Mayor-elect Jack Reed Jr. used his thumbnail to trace an upside-down pyramid on his leather appointment book. He said that in older, traditional structures, authority is concentrated in one person, a boss, at the top, and that person disseminates orders to subordinates.
"It's a top-down model," said Reed, who takes office July 6. His vision of leadership, he said, is different.
Tracing his nail back up the pyramid, Reed explained that a servant leader is one who empowers others to take greater responsibility and ultimately, to achieve success.
"It's a bottom-up approach. A leader's job is not to talk down, but to push everyone else up," said Reed.
Most people have heard the term "servant leader," perhaps used to describe a pastor, or a philanthropic businessman. Reed used it as his signature tag-line throughout his mayoral campaign.
Essayist Robert Greenleaf popularized the term in the late 1970s to describe a form of leadership that differed from authoritarian structures. The basic concept, however, goes back at least to the teachings of Jesus, as in Mk 10:42-45.
Reed said his understanding of a servant leader comes from the works of native Mississippi author James Autry, specifically his book "Love and Profit: The Act of Caring Leadership."
"That was one of the first books that really went against the hard-nosed school of thought that said emphasis on profit, and pushing employees hard was the way to go," said Reed.
Like Autry, Reed, who is Methodist, says there's a theological dimension to how he uses the term. "Jesus is the model," he said, scratching lines through the pyramid he'd drawn.
Reed said his faith is an integral part of who he is and, to that extent, he's certain it will inform the way he governs. However, he's a firm believer in the separation of church and state.
"Faith is too important to leave to the state," said Reed, smiling broadly, a deep but, as he admits, practiced smile, honed by years of working in the downtown department store his grandfather started. He added that religion needn't be insinuated into every decision he makes.
"I don't think the Old Testament, or the New Testament, or even the apocrypha, answers whether or not we should expand the airport," said Reed, laughing. He greeted a friend who walked in, then jotted down the man's suggestion about beautifying a stretch of roadway.
When I asked him which of Greenleaf's 10 characteristics of servant leaders he thought he possessed, Reed politely deferred, then said, "We don't need 400 clones of Jack Reed Jr. working for the city of Tupelo." Staring at a piece of local artwork, he said being a good steward of the city's substantial human resources would be an important priority in his administration.
Reed said his faith has taught him that a life well-lived is an "abundant" life, one in which people can tackle hard issues but still enjoy their work and hear each other's differences without becoming intransigent. He said his vision of servant leadership is to set an example of strength and competence but also of fairness and receptivity.
"I don't know what specifically this will be, yet," said Reed. "But, I want the city council and I to have an early success, and to celebrate that success, and to have people be proud of what we've done together."

Perpetual NotepadSaturday, October 30th, 2010
Meeting notes have become an important tool for me to stay on top of discussions and action items, and I've become a far more prolific note-taker as a professional that I ever was as a student. Unfortunately, effective filing of paper is not among my talents, so attests anyone who bears witness to my desk and the many paper piles. Miraculously, I'm often able to lay hands on paper notes written long ago, but I've long sought a digital solution to eliminate the paper.
Many Attempts
In my quest for electronic notes I've tried several approaches that never quite caught on.
- Scan my paper notes. Refer to the neat pile of unscanned notes atop my document scanner.
- Optical pens that capture handwriting. I couldn't get past their cost, their single purpose, and the need to always write on special paper in proprietary notebooks.
- Laptop. Having that screen between you and your colleagues is too much of a barrier, and I don't always carry the laptop.
Revisiting an Old App
I'd been using my iPad for about a month when I went to a conference in June. Thus far I hadn't figured out how to make the iPad my note taking panacea. At a conference session a woman sat next to me with her iPad and the dock keyboard. She was feverishly typing away during the session, and I occasionally looked over to see what app she was using. At the end of the session we spoke briefly and I was reintroduced to Evernote.
I say I rediscovered the app because I had previously tried and discarded the iPhone version of the app, long before the iPad was on the market. At the time I'd concluded the iPhone wasn't a reasonable note taking device (no big surprise). Trying Evernote again on the iPad was a wholly different experience. Keeping notes with the near life size keyboard on the iPad wasn't a breeze, but it was close enough to typing on a real keyboard. Though Evernote on the iPad is little more than a basic text editor (not much more than the built-in Notes app), its few advanced features, and price (free*) make it a great choice. If you're a good touch typist, add on Apple's wireless keyboard and you can record notes almost as fast as a court transcriptionist.
More Than a Notepad
Those advanced features I mentioned? The most important and transparent feature is synchronization. There are versions of Evernote for every device you can imagine, and they all stay in sync by uploading your notes to the Evernote servers. I can write a note on my iPad, read it on my work PC, access it on the go on my iPhone (works on Blackberry and Android too), and then update it on my Mac. If I don't have any of those devices with me, I can log into their web page on any computer with Internet access.
All your notes are searchable, can have tags (keywords), and can be filed into "notebooks". Clever tagging makes it easy to pull up all notes related to budget, for example.
You can also create more than text notes. On the iPad you can record audio while you type using the iPad's built-in microphone, though I've found that audio notes cap off at 20 minutes. On the iPhone you can make text, audio, and photo notes. How do you search for a photo note after the fact? The Evernote servers "read" any words in the photo using Optical Character Recognition, allowing you to search for any text appearing in the photo (but you can't copy the text out of the photo). You can also set tags for the photo. At a recent meeting I used my iPhone to snap a photo of a paper agenda passed out. After less than a minute the photo appeared in Evernote on my iPad, where I was keeping meeting notes.
If the features don't sell you, the logo features an elephant. Go Jumbos!

In the wake of the fantastic Wild Card Weekend the NFL had last week, commissioner Roger Goodell has reopened the possibility of expanding the NFL playoffs to allow a seventh and maybe even an eighth seed from each conference.
Not much has been discussed about how that would change the format, but presumably, in a seven team systerm, the No. 1 seed would receive a bye while the other six teams would battled on Wild Card Weekend.
The playoffs would then follow as it always does with the No. 1 seed playing the lowest seed remaining, the other two surviving teams facing off and then the winners playing in the Championship Game.
Here is how the playoffs in each conference would have looked this season with the seven team format:
7-Arizona at 2-Carolina6-New Orleans at 3-Philadelphia5-San Francisco at 4-Green Bay
7-Pittsburgh at 2-New England6-San Diego at 3-Cincinnati5-Kansas City at 4-Indianapolis
Assuming both No. 2 seeds won their games against the No. 7 seeds, the NFL would have the exact same matchups Division Weekend in both the six and seven team systems. But what happens if Arizona pulled the upset over Carolina:

7-Arizona at 1-Seattle6-New Orleans at 5-San Francisco
In this scenario, not only does Carolina lose out because the team played and lost rather than resting for the second round, San Francisco now has a home playoff game as a non-division winner because all three wild card teams won.
In the eight-team format, things get a little tricky because the NFL has not specifically said how the byes would work. The league could do either of the following:
Scenario 1: No Byes
8-Dallas at 1-Seattle7-Arizona at 2-Carolina6-New Orleans at 3-Philadelphia5-San Francisco at 4-Green Bay
8-Baltimore at 1-Denver7-Pittsburgh at 2-New England6-San Diego at 3-Cincinnati5-Kansas City at 4-Indianapolis
Again assuming the top seeds win, the NFL would have the same matchups in the division round. In the AFC, San Diego would visit Denver and Indianapolis would play in New England.
Would fans and the NFL love a rematch of Baltimore and Denver again in this year's playoffs? Absolutely. But look what happens in the next round if Baltimore pulls the upset.
AFC Hypothetical Division Round
8-Baltimore at 2-New England6-San Diego at 4-Indianapolis
Now this is getting very hypothetical, but fans know what happend last year when Baltimore finished the season strong and San Diego is doing the same thing this year. Under this system, the NFL is setting itself up for a possible 8-Baltimore vs. 6-San Diego AFC Championship.
Scenario 2: Double-Byes and an extra weekend *Note:the conference playoffs would now be four weeks long
First Wild Card Weekend
8-Dallas at 7-Arizona
Second Wild Card Weekend
Winner of First Weekend Game at 2-Carolina 6-New Orleans at 3-Philadelphia 5-San Francisco at 4-Green Bay
1-Seattle (Double-Bye)
8-Baltimore at 7-Pittsburgh
Winner of First Weekend Game at 2-New England 6-San Diego at 3-Cincinnati 5-Kansas City at 4-Indianapolis
1-Denver (Double-Bye)
In the double bye format this year, NFL fans would get to see Baltimore and Pittsburgh for the third time which is always an entertaining game with the winner then going to New England. The Wild Card game the first weekend would be tremendous and it would not matter who wins to play the Patriots because all three teams have a strong disdain for each other.
But again, the NFL is setting themselves up for a No. 7 or No. 8 seed, Pittsburgh and Baltimore this year, to make a deep playoff run if the team gets hot in January. Also, NFL teams have never had byes in consecutive weeks, so the league really has no idea if that would be more of an advantage or disadvantage.
Really what fans need to ask themselves is what is more important: seeing the best regular season teams play for the NFL title or having the opportuntity to see great matchups again such as Ravens at Broncos, Ravens at Steelers, and Steelers at Patriots?

Vital CommunicationsFriday, October 15th, 2010
Most people are probably aware that the iPad, like its cousin the iPhone, can check email, and surf the web. These were key back in May when I had an opportunity to evaluate my very new iPad as an emergency communications tool.
A Small Leak
Saturday afternoon, May 1st, I get an email from the Massachusetts Health & Homeland Alert Network (HHAN). The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) was letting emergency managers know about a leak in a water main in Weston. I pictured a crack spraying water – big mistake. Nonetheless, our response began with a message composed to the community carrying forward the state's request to avoid non-essential uses of water.
iPad as a Communications Tool
At the time I was in the Spring Fling command post. Our initial notification to the community consisted of an email message to all campuses. The draft was composed on the iPad, taking advantage of the built-in email client and spell check. Subsequent drafts were exchanged until the message was sent using the Announcements elist system.
Escalating Message Priority
Around 5 pm the state announced a boil water order. At this point the message priority was higher, and crisis communications plans called for a text message. Using the built-in web browser, I accessed the web-based notification platform, composed a text message, and sent it on the iPad. Using the combination of the 3G connection and the WiFi networking, I was able to stay connected and compose the message no matter my location on campus.
Incident Dashboard
As the incident progressed, the state communicated via websites and daily conference calls. Public-facing sites were accessible on the iPad, though the state's primary tool for sharing information with emergency managers was a little difficult to access. WebEOC, a commercial product from ESi, is a shared dashboard for incident events. Unfortunately it's not directly compatible with the mobile Safari browser on the iPad, but can be accessed by manually entering the dashboard address. It's a little arcane for the non-technical user (ESi, are you listening?).
UPDATE Oct 21, 2010
ESi was listening! Here's a pointer to make WebEOC work on the iPad:
- From your home screen, tap Settings: Safari.
- Turn the Pop-Up Blocker off.
I'm normally very strict about my browser security, but Mobile Safari will still ask your permission to show a pop-up, even with the blocker turned off.
Change this setting on your iPhone or your iPad to be able to view most types of WebEOC boards (I haven't tested them all yet).
Early Conclusion
Around 4 am Tuesday I got the phone-call-email-text-message-alert from the HHAN that the boil water order had been lifted. Not wanting to fall behind in our communications, I took the time to compose the message and get a draft out for review. I reached for my iPad where it was charging on the bed stand, and put together an email directing the community on how to recover from the boil water order.
Read about the incident communications in a Tufts Daily Editorial.

Major Stones fans will already have most of these songs handy - but for the uninitiated, the curious, and those looking to upgrade to CD or digital before their old copies fade away, this comprehensive compilation, Grrr!, is as good a place as any to get some satisfaction.
The 3-CD, 50-track edition allows you to track the Stones from their earliest recordings, like Come On and It's All Over Now to two new tracks released 50 years later. To my mind the better tracks came in the late 60s, including the fun Sympathy For The Devil and the powerful Gimme Shelter, but everyone will have their own favourites.
The mid-60s provided classics like Time Is On My Side, Paint It Black and the almost Beatlesque Ruby Tuesday. But the less said about the latter part of their career, when the moss began to gather, the better.

figurejennah and R.D.,
I meant most Japanse fans reckon that PCS were too high.
Last edited by Phoenix347; 10-24-2009 at 09:39 PM. Reason: added a couple of words
I just got home from work, and just about the only thing I can do about the results is for a number of reasons:
1. Mao not making the podium in a weak field.
2. Mao not scoring above 100 in the free skate.
3. Mao not making the GPF.
4. Mao only getting credit for 2 triples in her free skate.
What the heck is going on with her? Is it nerves? Does she feel uncomfortable out there? Whatever it is her team has GOT to figure it out before it's too late, I really don't want the same thing that happened to Kimmie to happen to Mao, my heart would break .
At least there were some positives:
1. Leonova won her first GP medal
2. Ashley won her first GP silver medal (which puts her into the running for the GPF)
3. Alissa had a semi-decent free skate
All I can say is what a competition!
please keep the discussion on the skating/skaters and not on each other. take personal issues off the board.
http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/sho...858#post416858Her facial expressions this year HAS really improved. Last yea was like 'O' that 'O' this 'O' everything... thank god its gone from yuna. Hopefully mao doesn't use that 'O' as much..
Or is there a difference between ;O; and 'O'?
And why are you bringing her into this conversation in the first place??
Yes, she received high PCS, but at least she skated cleanly.
Last edited by *Sniper*; 10-25-2009 at 03:15 AM.
I guess somebody's pretty upset because the skater he's rooting for now won't be at Japan for GPF. Come on, don't bring Yuna into this, it just makes you look bad
Mao don't need to take part in GPF.instead she should take a rest,bring her light and effotress jump back.
btw it is said that Tat said we may change both of sp and lp program if Mao want to do.
I found tarasova along with morosov too stress generating the way the stand at the boards and shout..morosov doesnt shout but he looks very stressful , at one point audience was looking at him instead of miki- who was really great i loved her program!
Tarasova i dont know what she does tell her on the boards but it doesnt help...Mao... i m so sad, I like Bells but i dont know what happens to her, she jumps 3\3 and 3axels in warm up greatly, then she bomps in competition.Still my favorite lady, i wish she skates on gala
I made a translation for the whole interview, not just for some little things related to Mao. I think it gives a better idea for understanding.
I agree with your post goPC2018.
In reality, Yuna's PCS in sp was 32.28 with a clean performance, whereas Mao's sp PCS was 28.84 with a fall, and 2 jumps missing.... Not even 4 point difference.
Now, let's look at their LP programs. Yuna missed one flip jump, but everything else was flawless. Her TES was 67.55, and her PCS was 66.40, again her PCS being lower than her TES. I remember reading on this forum that some people were saying that her PCS was too high, since she missed that one jump. On the other hand, Mao missed.... gosh I don't even know how many jumps she missed... She missed more than 5... Her TES was only 40.06, but yet her PCS was 59.28.... HUH???
I am sorry, but I cannot agree with you on "whose score is clearly inflated." With a performance like that, Mao should not have gotten a high PCS such as that, and you really cannot compare Mao and Yuna's PCS on the same level.
I just feel bad for Miki, Ashley and Alissa, who performaned so much better than Mao. Especially Miki, I respect that she fixed her edge problems, and she is now clearly improving herself tremendously with her fairly new coach. I don't think Miki deserves any less than Mao. When I saw Mao's PCS, I really doubted what I was seeing.
And for your info, Mao also opens her mouth in "O" shape during bells of moscow...........And during her interview, the media praised her to be extremely expressive...
Last edited by Tonichelle; 10-25-2009 at 10:33 AM. Reason: merging... *sigh*
I just think Mao was very tired (mentally if it is not physically) and october was not a good month for her.
When it really doesn't work, it doesn't work whether you force it or not.
Personally it's sad that i can't see her at the GPF, but i think it's rather good for her - it gives her more time and less stress.
She might 'wow' us at the olympics (or at the national) with new changes and more confidence.
Btw, congrats to all the ladies who got on the podium!! especially to the (relatively) fresh faces to the int'l podium : )

From WWD ISSUE 08/12/2009
Designer Paul La Fontaine is hoping the third time??™s a charm.
The veteran men??™s designer, who has held design director posts at brands like BCBG and Claiborne, is launching an eponymous label for spring 2010, following two previous efforts earlier in his career.
The expansive men??™s contemporary collection is produced in partnership with the Hong Kong??"based manufacturing company D-Signs Inc. Ltd.
???It??™s sexy but wearable, and downtown cool without being overly aggressive,??? noted La Fontaine of his designs, which are being sold under the Paul La Fontaine Lounge moniker. A higher-priced Paul La Fontaine Collection brand is planned down the road.
Suits in the collection are merchandised as separates, with jackets retailing for $375 and pants for $175. Woven shirts are $135 to $195, denim is $150 to $195, sweaters are $90 to $225, outerwear is $395 to $595 and leather pieces are $695 to $750. The overarching aesthetic is one of American classicism melded with European flair, as evidenced in the clean lines of a sharply tailored suit and the elegant expressiveness of a voile shirt with a bold floral print.
From WWD ISSUE 08/12/2009
ALFANI RED TALES: Ne-Yo, the new Macy??™s pitchman for the retailer??™s contemporary Alfani Red collection, hit New York??™s Metropolitan Pavilion on Tuesday to talk up the partnership. The brand??™s new black-and-white ads featuring the R&B singer were unveiled at the press conference. The campaign was shot by Walter Chin in Prague, to accommodate Ne-Yo??™s filming schedule on ???Red Tails,??? a movie about the Tuskegee Airmen. ???I play a young fighter pilot named Smoky from Alabama,??? said Ne-Yo. ???The film is about the struggle of African-Americans to be accepted by the Air Force during World War II, even as we help protect America from the Germans.??? The movie, which is produced by George Lucas and co-starsTerrence Howard and Cuba Gooding Jr., is Ne-Yo??™s second big screen role, following 2007??™s ???Stomp the Yard.???
MIDTOWN MOVE: Jason Wu, who showed his fall collection at Exit Art on 10th Avenue in February, is going for a more classic ??" and central ??" venue this fashion week. On Sept. 11, Wu will present his spring show on the second floor of the St. Regis Hotel. For the first time, Wu also is working with Alex de Batek of Bureau Betak on the show??™s production and decor ??" but don??™t expect the White House to inspire the look for one of Michelle Obama??™s favorite designers. ???For our first collaboration, Alex and I wanted to stage the show in a New York institution that had a distinct personality,??? Wu said. ???We chose the St. Regis because its original historic decor has been so beautifully preserved and served as the perfect canvas for us to bring totally foreign elements into the space. The stark juxtaposition between the classic and ultramodern represents the brand??™s DNA perfectly.???
GAP GETS JUMPING: Gap??™s 1969 pop-up store on Los Angeles??™ Robertson Boulevard was a hot spot ??" both literally and figuratively ??" on a balmy Thursday night when Halle Berry, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Molly Sims, Tiffani Thiessen and Gap creative director Patrick Robinson turned out to the packed space formerly home to Robert Clergerie. ???This is where I??™m from, so it??™s home to me, and the store on Robertson is such a great fit for the city and the new denim launch,??? Robinson said.
Good Charlotte??™s Joel Madden endured the heat generated by the throngs while playing DJ for the evening before leaving to join his belle, Nicole Richie, and friends at Chateau Marmont, where Sienna Miller, Kirsten Dunst and Keanu Reeves also turned out for what happened to be a busy night at the celeb-friendly hotel. A private K-Swiss dinner with Simpson-Wentz, Topher Grace, Katie Cassidy and Jessica Stroup was also under way at the hotel, where guests used their appetizers to fend off paparazzi trying to snap photos over the hotel gate. In return for their trouble, each attendee made off with a pair of the relaunched classic sneaker ??" a popular item, as Dunst, while not a guest at the dinner, requested a pair of her own.

Every season, fantasy league commissioners struggle with the fact that major league teams often wait until the last minute to put injured players on the disabled list. Leagues have a free-agent pickup period before the regular season starts end up struggling with which players should and should not be regarded as injured -- and able to be replaced.
Although the situation is a little less unwieldy with Major League Baseball moving the start of the regular season to the beginning of the week (as opposed to the Wednesday/Thursday experiment the past two seasons), there's still a need to have an official, unofficial disabled list.
In an effort to standardize the process, I put together such a list for the Leagues of Alternative Baseball Reality (LABR). We're still waiting for official word on Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter and Angels reliever Ryan Madson, but this has seemed to do the trick.

I've used Augmentin before but not at this dosage (875mg). Severe sinus and upper respiratory tract infection and after only 3 doses, felt about 75% better. Headache that I had only been able to take the edge off, went away. Productive cough and nose blowing. If not allergic, I'd recommend this to anyone, just make sure to take your probiotics!!!
I almost died from taking this drug.
Augmentin 625 worked wonders for my chest cold that was becoming more like pneumonia with yellow mucus already forming and chest pains and cough. one pill and it all went away within 1 hour esp with a tablet of paracetamol. Ive taken this antibiotic several times while traveling and it is by far the best one I have found esp with mixture of both amox/clavaunate. I dont have any side effects yet I usually only take 2-3 days full strength and than start to take half a dosage 2x a day for the last 2 days so that it stays constant in my system. Taking it full strength for 7 days is something I only do when I have a more serious condition since the side effects of a solid 7 days is more pronounced esp rebuilding ones good bacteria with probiotics. One thing to keep in mind.. stay away from Sushi or any raw foods for 30 days until you rebuild your good bacteria. Learned the hard way eating sashimi after 7 days and got a parasite which normally would not happen but antibiotics wipe out all good bacteria that normally kills off that type of issue. Good luck and great travel medicine to take with you overseas.
Rash lost use of legs and arms tongue swollen fever very very bad allergic reaction never happened before and if it didn't happen would've been happy to use again but for me no thanks
told to take 4x500 to front load; could not tolerate; within 3 hours extreme dizziness, cold sweats, unable to walk. one hour later multiple vomiting & diarrhea. did not continue.
I did experience daily diarrhea with this medication and occasional nausea but I think it did the trick for my 6-day old sinus infection. I was taking the 875mg/125mg so that may have been the reason for the side effects.
When my twins were babies, the occasional bout with otitis media, happened here and there. We were always prescribed Augmentin. It worked wonders, but always gave the babies diarrhea. Be certain to follow the BRAT diet throughout the entire course of therapy, and if it's for a young one still in diapers PREVENTION of diaper rash (load up on Balmex/Desitin or A&D), is imperative.
Stomach, at ease. Vagina, ON FIRE! After a miserable experience with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea with Doxycycline, I was more than glad to be put on Amoxycillin. Although I am not a fan of antibiotics, I knew I need them to combat the Lyme's bacteria. Being vegan I don't exactly get a chance to replace beneficial bacteria in my body through the foods I eat, so I upped my dose of L. Acidophilus: Six capsules a day in stead of two. Unfortunately this was not enough to ward off the dreaded yeast infections associated with prolonged antibiotic use. I ended up treating the infection topically until my Amoxycillin ran out, got a prescription for Diflucan to finish it off, and followed up with four L.Acidophilus pills a day until I felt I was in the clear. I have yet to be tested again to see if more antibiotic treatment is necessary, but if it is I will most likely use Amoxycillin if not a more natural approach.
only thing that worked My first major flare-up was triggered by sex after a UTI. I probably went to the doctor 5-6 times getting different antibiotics for the infection b/c it felt like it wasn't going away, it was only getting worse. The last couple of times they weren't able to detect a UTI, so they referred me to a urologist and she confirmed that it was IC, not a lingering infection. She wanted to do a cystoscopy to rule out cancer, but I hadn't heard anything positive about the procedure in the forums so I was disinclined to shell out the $1500 for the proper diagnosis. At this time my symptoms were pretty severe. It was on my mind all the time. Sitting for long periods made it worse, but nothing seemed to make it better. Sex was out of the question and I often worried that I'd never have sex again. All in all, a pretty miserable experience which went on for about 3 months. After seeing the urologist and realizing that she couldn't really help me, I turned to the antibiotics b/c at least some people were getting help from them. I had noticed that my IC symptoms would get better after the UTI antibiotic treatments but then would get worse a couple days after stopping them. If I took the proper antibiotics for a longer period of time it seemed like it would work or at least offer some measure of relief when taking them. I ordered augmentin from an online pharmacy that I found at drugbuyers.com, probably clickdrugs or medsmex. I didn't bother asking the doctors for a prescription as this wasn't the standard course of treatment. I think the urologist was more apt to put me on pain pills indefinitely than give me weeks worth of antibiotics. I can't remember what the dosage was, but I remember taking them for 3 weeks to a month. The side effects do start to catch up with you (disorientation/depression), but my symptoms had cleared up pretty well when I stopped. I remember my symptoms improving after a few days and then gradually over a few weeks.
Didn't work for me.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Sage advice. Christine O'Donnell, victor in Delaware's Republican Senate primary,
has an interesting interpretation of this commandment.
Adultery is lustful. Okay, that sounds reasonable. What else have you got? According to O'Donnell, "The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can't masturbate without lust." Therefore, masturbation is adultery. Ipso facto, I'm a damned ho!
Come to find out, I've literally been cheating on myself, with myself. That's a two-fer. I suspect there are more than a few of us out there who have been violating the seventh commandment with alacrity all these years. We'd better hope Satan is building some new condos in Hell because it's going to get crowded down there.
If she wins, Delaware could go from a blue state to a state of blue balls. I'd like to ask her if a wet dream is a sin, too, but that might rub her the wrong way. Maybe she's soured on self-love because she isn't any good at it. Hasn't she ever heard Practice makes perfect? If that's not in the Bible, it should be.
Ms. O'Donnell, despite your suspicious lack of income and your penchant for cotton candy hair heightened by ozone depleting amounts of hair spray, I want to believe you're a virtuous woman. Maybe it was as simple as "the higher the hair, the closer to God." Then again, it could be that decades of torturing your hair provided an outlet for your sexual frustration. If so, I can see you've overcome even that base impulse, since your hair is now limp as a...well, you wouldn't understand.
Forgive my skepticism, won't you? And until I'm convinced,
I'm going to need you to keep your hands where I can see them.

After months of testing, it launched this week Rakuten.at in Austria.
Paul Demery
Rakuten Inc. this week opened in Austria its fifth European e-marketplace at Rakuten.at. The other four operate in the U.K. (Play.com), France (PriceMinister.com) Spain (PriceMinister.es) and Germany (Rakuten.de).
In Germany alone, the company's site features offers 17 million products from 8,200 merchants on Rakuten.de Shopping, according to Aexel Bauer, chief marketing officer for Rakuten in Germany and Austria. Figures for the Austria.at site were not available. Rakuten is headquartered in Japan, where its flagship marketplace, Rakuten.co.jp, is the country's leading e-commerce site by sales and No. 2 in Internet Retailer's Asia 500 rankings.
Rakuten's fees to merchants in Germany and Austria run 39 euros per month, plus from 6% to 10% of a transaction's value. An additional 1% of the value is added to the fee for mobile transactions.
Bauer notes that Rakuten enables merchants to design their shops on its marketplace with branding and shopping functionality consistent with their own e-commerce sites; Rakuten handles risk management and covers any losses tied to online payment fraud; and it provides help in marketing according to local customs and laws about consumer privacy.
The company operates e-marketplaces in 13 countries and, through its other businesses, including Rakuten Travel and Kobo e-books, operates e-commerce sites in a total of 25 countries, says Mark Kirschner, vice chief marketing officer. In 2010, Rakuten acquired U.S. e-retailer Buy.com, renaming it Rakuten.com Shopping, which operates as both a retailer and an e-marketplace and is No. 40 in the Internet Retailer Top 500. Rakuten announced in January that Buy.com would phase out its own sales and become a pure marketplace host for other retailers. That will make the site, now called Rakuten.com Shopping, similar to eBay.com and unlike Amazon.com, which sells on its own behalf as well as offering products from marketplace sellers.
Hiroshi Mikitani, chairman, CEO and co-founder of Rakuten, will address the company's international e-commerce strategy during his keynote presentation at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2013 in Chicago in June. Mikitani's presentation will take place from 8:45 a.m.-9:15 a.m. on June 5.
More news about e-commerce in Europe will appear in the June issue of Internet Retailer magazine and the 2013 edition of Internet Retailer's Top 500 Europe guide.

Satan. The devil is the enemy of righteousness and of those who seek to do the will of God. He is literally a spirit son of God and was at one time an angel in authority in the presence of God (Isa. 14:12; 2 Ne. 2:17). However, he rebelled in the premortal life and persuaded a third part of the spirit children of the Father to rebel with him (D&C 29:36; Moses 4:1–4; Abr. 3:27–28). They were cast out of heaven, were denied the opportunity of obtaining mortal bodies and experiencing mortal life, and will be eternally damned. Since the time the devil was cast out of heaven, he has sought constantly to deceive all men and women and lead them away from the work of God in order to make all mankind as miserable as he is (Rev. 12:9; 2 Ne. 2:27; 9:8–9).

- If ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd, the devil is your shepherd:Alma 5:38–39;
- The devil will not support his children:Alma 30:60;
- Pray continually that ye may not be led away by the temptations of the devil:Alma 34:39; ( 3 Ne. 18:15, 18; )

- The devil is the author of all sin:Hel. 6:26–31;

John Waters Celebrates the Holidays (In His Own Filthy Way)
Film director and screenwriter John Waters has made good by putting a twist on that old saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure" by changing it to say "one man's trash is his own treasure." With a string of cult and mainstream feature trash films (including "Multiple Maniacs," "Female Trouble," "Pink Flamingos," "Cry-Baby," "Hairspray," "Serial Mom" and "A Dirty Shame"), Waters has become an icon and celebrity. Let's face it: monikers such as "The Filthiest Man Alive" and "The Pope of Trash" don't get bestowed upon just anyone.
"I've gotten "The Duke of Dirt," "The Anal Ambassador," "The Ayatollah of Assholes," says Waters. "You wouldn't believe some of them. I've got more titles than Prince Charles." We know, however, that it's not the title that makes the man. It's the man that makes the title.
Waters has long been seen as a director with no real fear to push the envelope of the movie industry and the values of middle-America. It's funny how a crowd of moviegoers can be delighted in the humor made of the racial stereotypes in his film "Hairspray" (1988) only for that same crowd to find Waters' "Pink Flamingos" (1972) totally repulsive. According to John Waters it was easier to make fun of the censors in his earlier years of filmmaking because the censors were so ridiculous then. Now liberal censorship is much smarter, and therefore, more dangerous.
Since the production of Waters' last film project "Fruitcake" stalled in 2008, it has been since 2004's "A Dirty Shame" that we have had the pleasure of a John Waters' film. He continues his trashy storytelling through books and one-man stage shows. I had a chance to speak with the "Almighty Trashy One" in prelude to a two-show tour stop of his "This Filthy World" show in San Francisco, and we crammed discussion on the relevance of the term trash filmmaking, the dangers of liberal censorship, Hollywood's attempt at making trash films, what Divine would have become, the unlikelihood of a "Fruitcake" film, his hitchhike across America, and being a drag king hag, into less than 15 minutes.
Waters' national tour continues this week with dates in New York City, Boston, Washington DC and his hometown of Baltimore.
More titles than Prince Charles
BeBe: 'The Filthiest Man Alive' and 'The Pope of Trash' are monikers that you would expect to be used to describe you. Are there others?
John Waters: Oh, there are a lot more obscure ones. I've got 'The Duke of Dirt,' 'The Anal Ambassador,' 'The Ayatollah of Assholes.' You wouldn't believe some of them. I've got more titles than Prince Charles, but they are all meant well.
BeBe: Would you say that you have changed the way people think of trash filmmaking?
John Waters: I don't think anyone thinks that way anymore. Today, I don't think it's (trash filmmaking) even a meaningful term. Did I see any great trash movies this year? I think 'Spring Breakers' (James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez) was my favorite movie of the year. That was trashy, but it was a great, funny, hilarious trashy. It was an art sexploitation movie which I'm all for.
Trash in vogue?
BeBe: So, are you saying that trash filmmaking has become vogue now?
John Waters: I don't think it's vogue. Hollywood attempts to make trash movies now. Sometimes they are very successful, and a few of them I like. But as soon as they make a successful one that grosses $500 million, then they have 500 bad imitations of it. Like 'The Hangover' (Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis), which I loved, had two bad, too expensive imitations (sequels II and III). They grossed me out, but not in a good way or witty way.
BeBe: That's the thing about Hollywood that annoys me, their lack of original creativity in general. As you say, Hollywood will have a big successful movie and then are subjected to seeing the piddly Parts II, III and IV.
John Waters: They're not piddly. They cost $300 million. They are science projects. They are not movies. But you know what, I'm not complaining. These people in Hollywood aren't there for art. They are there to make money. I didn't really have a horrible experience in Hollywood, but the more money they give you, the more people you have to answer to. That's always the way it is going to be.
Loved Disney
BeBe: And, that's not always great.
John Waters: It's not always bad, either. I think one of my best movies was 'Serial Mom,' and that was one of the ones I had the biggest budgets for. So, I think you can have a big budget and make a good (trash) movie. And, I think you can have a very small budget and make a terrible (trash) movie. It all depends.
BeBe: One thing that continues to surprise me about you, no matter how many times I read it, is that 'The Wizard of Oz' had a big impression on you as a kid and helped develop the kind of filmmaker you are. Can you expand on that for me?
John Waters: In the very beginning I had an affinity for Walt Disney films because I always wanted to be the villain. I always rooted for the villain. So, I wanted the witch to win (in 'The Wizard of Oz'). I never understood why Dorothy would want to go back to that smelly farm when she could live with winged monkeys and gay lions. I always thought there should be a sequel where Dorothy's Aunt Em puts her in a mental institution where they give her shock treatment because she can't stop talking about Oz. Dorothy tries drugs, but only poppers seem to work. So she takes poppers and goes back to Oz for only three days where she sees all three of them. The Scarecrow has written a book called 'Friends of Dorothy.' The Tin Woodsman is a yoga instructor. And, the Cowardly Lion is a drag queen named Rora who gives Dorothy the Wicked Witches' old clothes. Dorothy comes back home after three days and starts cross-dressing like Margaret Hamilton (Oz's Wicked Witch) and opens a gay bar called The Yellow Brick Load. That's my idea of an 'Oz' sequel.
Drag King Hag
BeBe: ( after laughing my you know what off) I think that's a great idea that needs to happen. What other movies influenced you as you were growing up?
John Waters: All the nudist 'camp' movies like 'Baby Doll' (Elia Kazan, 1956) where all the Catholics would go to hell if they saw 'it.' 'Mom and Dad' (William Beaudine, 1945) where men were jacking-off to medical films of birth because that's the only place they could see a vagina. That really got me! All the William Castle movies. All the Ingmar Bergman movies. All the Warhol movies. All the Hershell Gordon Lewis movies. All extreme movies, movies that pushed the censorship, that changed the laws.
BeBe: Now we have to do more to push that censorship.
John Waters: Well, what we have now is the worst which is liberal censorship. That's what we have with Motion Picture Association of America. That's a much more dangerous type of censorship because they're smart, not stupid. The censors used to be stupid and ridiculous that it was easy to make fun of them. But liberal censors are the scariest of all because we have to put up with bad stuff for freedom of speech. We have to put up with hideous pornography. We have to put up with Nazis being allowed to march. The extremes on either side of these things, we have to put up with so some of us artists can use sex in a new transgressive way.
BeBe: I know you have an affection for drag queens. Having Divine (Harris Glenn Milstead) in your films increased the use of drag in art films.
John Waters: I think drag queens now have changed so much. Every drag queen is a hit now sort of. I'm more, to be honest, fascinated by drag kings and transgendered males, which San Francisco has a lot of amazing ones that look like the cutest boys I like. I'm more of a 'drag king hag.'
About Divine
BeBe: John Waters is a drag king hag. You heard it hear first folks. That will become your latest moniker.
John Waters: Probably.
BeBe: Sadly, Divine had an untimely death shortly after the release of 'Hairspray.' Had his talent not been taken away from us and your cast of 'Dreamlanders' so soon would there have been more Divine in your movies?
John Waters: Oh, sure! I think if I would have had my way, he would have been the neuter grandmother in 'A Dirty Shame.' But, Divine wanted to play men. I think he would have had big success in the 'Married: With Children' where he was cast to play the gay uncle (before his death). It would have been one of the first time a gay male character would have been on a television sitcom. I think it would have been successful. Divine said the wigs were too hot for him. He hated it! He'd sweat too much. He'd get in those big leather shoes and they'd snap under his weight. So, he liked playing men just as much.
BeBe: Now tell me what this this hitchhiking trip across America was all about.
John Waters: I have a book ('Carsick') coming out about it in June (2014). I hitchhiked across America (May 2012), and it took 21 rides and 9 days. I highly recommend it. I recommend hitchhiking.
BeBe: But what was it that made you think about doing this at this time in your life?
John Waters: A book deal! (we laugh) It was the quickest book deal I ever got in my life. It was one sentence - 'I'm hitchhiking from my house in Baltimore to my apartment in San Francisco.' I remember my last ride picked me up in Berkeley and thinking if I can't get a ride from Berkeley across the bridge to San Francisco, I'll shoot myself.
BeBe: For some time, we have been in anticipation of your 'Fruitcake' film project which is a children's Christmas story. But, it hasn't happened.
John Waters: Yeah, it never happened. They couldn't even get a Chipmunk Christmas movie made this year. If the Chipmunks can't get a movie made, I'm definitely going to have problems with my children's movie.
BeBe: But the film was in development a few years ago, right?
John Waters: And then things changed. All those people (New Line Cinema) are gone, Bob Shaye and all of them. But who knows, it may happen again. But, I write books. I have many ways to tell stories. I'm fine.
BeBe: One way you are telling stories is through your one-man stage show 'This Filthy World' that you tour with. What's the show all about?
John Waters: Yes, I'm coming to Yoshi's in San Francisco real soon (Nov 23) with it, and I have 13 cities in December. This show are stories about compassion, fashion, crime, movies, art, movie theaters. It's a fun show. I've been doing these shows for over 40 years but it's always updated. Not one joke is the same as any time before.
"John Waters' This Filthy World Show" makes a tour stop for two shows (8pm and 10pm) at Yoshi's in San Francisco on November 23. www.yoshis.com. 'John Waters' This Filthy World' continues to 12/1: Chicago, City Winery; 12/5: Seattle, Neptune; 12/6: Portland, Alladin; 12/10: New Orleans, Civic Theatre; 12/11: Nashville, War Memorial; 12/12: Atlanta, Variety Playhouse; 12/13-14: New York City, Stage 48; 12/15: Boston, Berklee Performance Center; 12/18: Alexandria, VA, The Birchmere; 12/19-20: Baltimore, Soundstage.
For more information about John Waters, visit his website.
As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.

The Montrail Rogue Fly is a versatile trail running and racing shoe designed for a neutral foot motion.
Looking to get more out of less? The Montrail Rogue Fly is designed with just that in mind. This shoe has a simple, airy upper that holds the foot securely and comfortably without any extra seams or overlays. The light, low profile midsole is fast and flexible, with a multi-lugged outsole for a steady, yet nimble ride on the trail.
Model Number:
Weight: 7.7 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (23mm), Forefoot (13mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
Comments: Montrail Rogues are my favorite trail shoe so far. They seem to have a perfect balance between weight, grip, and cushioning. I have run 3 trail 50K's and several long-ish training runs and have never been let down by my feet in these shoes. I have pretty wide feet with a long 2nd toe, but no problems with blisters or excessive rubbing on long runs. My only complaint is they are a bit susceptible to rock rash due to little protection along the sides, which is only cloth material, but that's also why they fit like a glove and feel great. I get a smile every time I lace them up, which is what a shoe should do!
From: Darin, Manhattan, KS, USA. 3/12/14
Comments: These shoes have everything you need on trail running shoes, no more, no less. It's a minimalist design with just the right amount of cushion but a standard heel-to-toe drop. Just what I was looking for. Love these shoes!
From: J, NYC, NY, USA
Comments: These used to be my favorite shoe, but I couldn't get them to last more the 200-250 miles and I'm a pretty light guy. They are comfy however and have good arch support with plenty of cushion for races from 10 miles to 50K. I did a 50 miler in them and they held up pretty well. If you don't mind spending $90 every 200 miles, then go for it!
From: Korey, Ashland, Oregon
Comments: You will love this shoe if you like a shoe that is light, sheds water like crazy, and doesnt last long... mine started to go downhill after 200 miles...
From: Paulo, Sacramento, CA
Comments: I really like this shoe with the caveat that the midsole feels completely dead for me after 350 miles. The first 200 miles felt great even on the roads. This pair is now delegated to trail-only duty, which is a pain considering that I need to run roads to get there. The outsole will long outlast the midsole. Love the upper -- every shoe should have such an elegant design. Wish these had Nike Zoom in the forefoot to extend the life.
From: Chris, Boston, MA, USA
Comments: I am a big fan of this shoe. I usually run in the 0-4mm drop minimalist category, and sometimes barefoot. Before shedding the cushion, the Mountain Masochist was my go-to trail shoe (and I still keep a pair handy for long mountain runs). I bought this shoe specifically for trail ultras. The cushiony midsole and lugged outsole are somewhere between springy and squishy on asphalt, but once you hit the trails, the shoe's platform is stable and responsive--great for moving fast on technical single-track. Looking forward to wearing these on my upcoming 50-miler.
From: Chas, Cornelius, NC
Comments: Bought the Fly's specifically for a 50K race run on a grassy, rolling 5K cross-country course (10 laps). The grip was perfect and the light weight made the last laps a lot easier. It being my forst ultra, I was suprised that the shoes made my feet feel so great, even after running in the heat and humidity. A great shoe for trail running if the surface is right (puddles of mud will make this shoe slippery). A+
From: Erik, Dallas, TX, USA

The durability and capability of its trucks are well recognized and established in the world. This new model incorporates all the world class features and parts that are better than the F150 model. This vehicle is sure to please everyone because it is rugged yet handsome in its presence on off-road where it not only becomes a good bargain for average drives but also rewarding for most cynical critics. Ford raptor can be considered to be an extended cab which is powered by 4-wheel drive pickup, Ford's 320-bhp 5.4-liter V-8, with a more desirable, all-new 400-bhp 6.2-liter sohc V-8 available in early 2010. This model is embarked with a strong frame body and weighs around 5863 lb that can surely handle almost everything you throw at it.

Ford raptor SVT F150 is unique not only in the presence but also in its strong impression on customers that will accomplish all you need from a king size truck.
As mentioned above, this powerful truck is able to tow heavy load of utility with a 1020-lb. payload and 6000-lb. tow ratings. This vehicle has been designed by a special vehicles team with strength and consistency that delivers a smooth and reliable ride for customers. The street ride is surprisingly taut, with only boat-like body roll as the inevitable result of the tall ride height and long-travel suspension. This new Ford Truck comes with suspension travel clearance of 11.2″ inches at the front to a massive 13.4″ inches at the rear and a wider more stable base than before, over seven inches with highly visible FOX RACING SHOX.

Ford has always been responsible for giving out of the box advantage to its customers where Ford raptor F150 has been equipped with the quality and strong features to take care of the needs of the drivers. This new model has nailed it on the head with a 5.4L Triton® V8 three valve creating a stock 320 horsepower with 390 ft. lbs. torque. The performance of this truck can be imagined from this brutal race, after 631 miles, where F150 Raptor finished it in an impressive time of 25 hours/28 minutes/10 seconds. It also managed to grab the 3rd place for its truck series.

Tales of childhood days on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico fascinated listeners as LucilleHuntpresented "Grandmother's Memories" at John Wesley Powell Museum in Green River. Sponsored by the Utah Humanities Council. Monroe said, "Mrs. Hunt wearing traditional velveteen dress and heritage jewelry was a beautiful picture to remind us of a time when life was sweet and simple among the family's goats and sheep." Hunt told of creating toys from rocks, cans and clay that with imagination became magic palaces, animals and wagons. Nature provided household needs as shrubs and twigs were used to clean, sweep and comb. Carefully crafted cedar cradle boards, that still carry Navajo babies today, teach respect for the earth. The top bow brings to mind the sky, leather lacings are lighting and sunshine with a white cloth representing clouds above. Much can be learned today from such a respectful , resourceful way of life. Hunt reminded us that the Navajo language was not written until after World War II. History was related by story and song. She sang songs of sadness and hope as well as a lullaby with the cooing of the nightingale. Onc interesting tale told how Comanches became part of the Navajo nation. She related that a Navajo pregnant maiden delivered her boy-child when in Comanche captivity. She managed a midnight escape with the baby later to find the child she took was a girl. To late to return to camp she raised the infant as her own. Time passed, the little girl grew, married and had a son who became Hunt's great grandfather.
By presenting programs such as "Grandmother's Memories" Utah Humanities Council is promoting a deeper understanding of our various traditions, values, history and heritage at a level to be enjoyed and appreciated by everyone.
