Sperm Count
My husbands sperm count was only 10% last year but after 6 months of medicine it has now increased to 55% (last test was 6 months back) but my doctor says it is still not enough. When she saw the reports, her exact comments were with this sperm count you should at least abort 2-3 times" I don't know what it means. Should we go for another sperm count test?
2nd February 2012 07:31 AM #2
Hi Anukriti,
What medicine was your husband taking, and has he continued to take it over the past 6 months? Does he smoke, drink or do recreational drugs?
When you have sperm tested, they will usually test count (the number of sperm), morphology (how they are formed) and motility (how well they swim in a somewhat straight line). If your husband's sperm morphology was low, but mobility was good, and it was able to actually penetrate the egg, then the possibility of that embryo not forming properly may be high, and thus the doctor's comment that you should expect to abort (miscarry) 2-3 times, might make sense.
It could also mean that you're conceiving but having very early miscarriages, so early that you don't even know you're pregnant.
I wouldn't worry about the doctor's comment, but instead I'd focus on increasing your husband's sperm quality and quantity and I've seen some wonderful results with diet and lifestyle changes, and the support of specific herbs which he can take.
I'd consider having his sperm checked again to see what your baseline is now, and if it's still low (or lower than before) you can work to increase it. The more high quality sperm the higher your chances of conceiving a truly healthy baby. Sometimes IUI can help in a low sperm count situation, but it won't help if the sperm quality is not good - you might conceive, but the chance of miscarriage would higher than if you worked on creating higher sperm quality first.

Thank you , Yes he does drink but very occasionally and that too he is a social drinker (not more than 2 or 3 small pegs in two weeks) . He is very active (goes to gym 2 hours daily, goes for a morning run) but he has not been taking any medicine in the last one year.
Can you suggest some diet changes?
7th February 2012 01:19 PM #4
If you're husband is going to the gym for 2 hours a day, you'll want to be sure he's not cycling (too much heat generated to the scrotum and pressure on the testicles). The scrotum sacs are located on the outside of a man's body because body heat is too hot and will kill the sperm. He will also want to avoid the sauna, jacuzzi and warm baths. No heat to that area.
Research has shown that drinking alcoholic beverages lowers sperm count, and lowers the number of sperm that have good motility (movement). It has also shown that men who drink have a higher number of abnormal sperm. Being that your husband is already experiencing a challenge with his sperm, I would suggestion that he consider avoiding alcohol altogether while you are trying to conceive.
Alcohol also makes it so that the body cannot absorb as many nutrients, including zinc, which is one of the most important minerals for a man's fertility.
Your husband may want to consider taking a zinc supplement and I'd recommend that you have a professional prescribe what kind and how much.
Foods that are high in zinc include raw pumpkin seeds, roast beef, lamb and peanuts (do a search for "foods high in zinc" to find more).
It's really important that both you and your husband start preconception care which includes eating foods that will increase fertility and avoiding exposure to substances that decrease fertility.
Let me know if you learn anything new after you read the preconception care page.

Fertile period
Hi Kate,
I read on the other thread about the position of cervix during fertile periods. But I am not able to figure out how to determine the position? ( i have iregular periods)
17th February 2012 03:47 AM #6
Cervix position is one of the hardest fertility signs to read. I would suggest that you balance your hormones first so that you're getting regular cycles, and THEN you'll be able to better read your body's cervical mucus changes, and ovulation predictor tests will be more accurate.
I will create a thread that discusses cervical changes in more detail and will post back with the link.
In the mean time, take this PCOS test and let me know what your result is.
Warm regards,

We know that the path to politcal clout and reform is a three pronged stratergy. The first two is in influencing and promoting the platform through the exsisting two monopoly parties. The third is in building a bigger LP. As the third happens, more of the first two will drop their Repub and Dem affiliations.
Oh and Franco, I think the LP should adopt a proven successful strategy: promise them not only cell phones, but weed and amnesty for themselves and all their relatives. LOL. That should garner a good number of the single issue voting public's support!

As most of you probably noticed, ZeuS Tracker was offline for a whole week (2010-09-03 to 2010-09-14). During this time I made several improvements and added new features to ZeuS Tracker.
But before I go on with the list of new features, I would like to point your attention to another topic:
I'm currently working on a new project which should help operators of large networks (like ISPs, governmental organizations and NGOs) to mitigated bad traffic in their network. The project is currently in BETA and I'm searching for administrators which have the possibility to test the functions of the new project in a test network environment. Unfortunately I'm currently not able to disclose more information about the new project. If you are a network operator of a large network and you willing to support abuse.ch, please contact me using the contact form.
Back to the main topic: Below is a list of new features on ZeuS Tracker.
New features
- ZT now records the time how long a ZeuS host is up (uptime)
- ZeuS Tracker now tracks FakeURLs used by the ZeuS Crimeware
- The monitor page now displays the HTTP status code returned by the ZeuS URLs (200, 404 etc)
- If available, the monitor page displays the hostname for a ZeuS host
- Added Virustotal support for ZeuS binaries
- ZT now provides the Builder versions with which the ZeuS config files have been created
- Added Google Maps to the ZT IP page
- Added IP- and domain blocklist for Squid, iptables and Windows Host file
- ZeuS Tracker cron script has been fully rewritten
- The cron script now runs in threaded mode (faster in checking ZeuS hosts)
- Statistic page now displays some additional statistics (Spamhaus SBL stats, Builder versions etc).
Additionally, I've made a huge ZeuS Tracker database cleanup and removed old and non-resolving hosts.
Automated binary submissions to the AV industry
ZeuS Tracker now supports the AV industry by submitting new ZeuS binaries to the AV vendors as soon as they appear on the ZeuS Tracker. I've made special agreements with some of the AV vendors listed below which have give the ZeuS Tracker direct access to their Sandbox systems. Some of the AV vendors are doing a great job which makes it possible that a new pattern is being released just a few minutes after ZT submitted the binary to the sandbox (using reputation based detection systems).
Currently, the following AV vendors receive a real time binary feed from ZeuS Tracker:
- Avast
- Avira
- Comodo
- BitDefender
- Emsisoft
- Eset
- eSafe
- Finjan
- Fortinet
- G-Data
- Ikarus
- Kaspersky
- Prevx
- Sunbelt
- F-Secure
- McAfee
- Norman
- Panda
- Rising
- Sophos
- Spybot
- Symantec
- Trend Micro
I hope you enjoy the new features of ZeuS Tracker!
PS: I'm currently searching a sponsorship for a SSL certificate for the ZeuS Tracker. If you are able to provide a SSL Certificate to ZeuS Tracker I would love if you contact me using the contact form. Any help would be appreciated!

TUPELO – BancorpSouth hosted a lunch on Thursday at the Summit Center to inform businesses what will be required in order to comply with the new federal health care reform legislation.
The 2012 law has caused consternation among business owners struggling to figure out which mandates will apply to them while details and changes continue to roll out.
"The problem," explained John Nance of BancorpSouth , "is that it is a moving target."
He said the bank's employee benefits department helps employers determine what changes they need to make to adhere to federal policy.
Andy Impastato, vice president of client compliance at BancorpSouth, offered businesses an update on existing requirements and an in-depth look into what requirements could be for 2014 and beyond.
About 100 people attended the event, many of whowm were human resources representatives.
Gail Gregory, human resources manager for Tapco in Tupelo, said she attended to learn "mainly how it's going to affect small groups under 50, because that's what we are."
Impastato said the policy will affect all employers regardless of the number of people they employ.
"Its time to get your brain around it, for better or worse," he said. But there are caveats that make the application of the law different for each individual business.
The controversial employer "pay or play" mandate and its likely impact on business was discussed. This mandate attempts to redefine what qualifies part-time and full-time employees and requires business to provide a "minimum essential coverage" to employees and dependents or risk being fined $2,000 per act of non-compliance.
However, the federal government has yet to settle on the definition of minimum essential coverage.
Impastato said, "It's one of those stay-tuned things. We'll have to wait and see."
"It's going to cost, just don't know how much yet," said Jack Dilworth of VIP Cinema. "Nobody is an expert in it, that's for sure."
Cassandra Moore, human resources director for the city of Tupelo, said that while it is likely to cost more, "it's good to take care of those employees." She said the city has already "been trying to work with our (insurance) carrier to be proactive."
The policy is aimed at providing relief to the millions of working Americans that lack access to affordable health care. Many experts say the expense associated with treating uninsured individuals to rising health care costs across the board.
Impastato encouraged businesses without a compliance officer to work with carriers and experts to determine what will be required for them specifically.
He said as part of the roll- out, the federal government has hired an additional 4,000 investigators "not as a scare tactic," but to make sure people understand how to comply.

TUPELO – Ward 2 Tupelo City Council candidate John "Tom" T. Carr Jr. wants to make a statement with his political campaign.
Carr, 48, an online college student seeking medical retirement from the Mississippi Army National Guard, hasn't spent money on advertising, yard signs or nearly any material associated with a political campaign.
"I've spent about $30 total," he said.
With a very different approach, Lynn Bryan has many yard signs throughout the ward located in the central part of the city with older neighborhoods. His family has knocked on doors throughout the area handing out campaign literature. He has run advertisements promoting his campaign.
Bryan, 50, a contractor, acknowledges spending a "little bit more" than Carr to spread his campaign themes.
Carr said he has fashioned his campaign expenses like he would try to govern.
"Don't spend what you don't have," he said.
Carr said he was convinced to run for the council after receiving a letter from the city about having to move his picnic table from the front yard. After moving the picnic table to his carport, Carr decided to run for public office.
"I think some of our ordinances are really too far reaching," he said. "Some of the younger people I've spoken with said those ordinances have had something to do with them moving somewhere else."
While neither candidate supports raising taxes, Carr wants to focus on a strict limited government platform. Bryan said he wants to look at long-term goals to help Tupelo reach new heights.
"Some people might think it's as great as it's going to get, but I see a lot of potential here," Bryan said.
The men will face each other in the May 7 Republican primary. With no Democratic opponent in the general election, the Republican winner will win a four-year term on the council. Current Ward 2 councilman Fred Pitts is running for mayor.
Bryan said the success of the Tupelo Public School District and the city are linked. The community has long had a reputation of successful public schools, and he wants to help make them better by voting for the best school board members. He favors school board appointees with young children in the public school system.
He also said the school district is impacted by decaying neighborhoods throughout the city and wants to help improve them.
"The schools and the city are one and the same," Bryan said.
Bryan said more focus should go toward neighborhood redevelopment. He supports public-private partnerships to redevelop blighted neighborhoods and tax incentives for homeowners in selected areas to improve their residences.
Tupelo has experienced slower population growth in recent years than some surrounding communities.
"You've got to make it nice enough that so when they consider moving to Tupelo, they don't even consider moving anywhere else," he said.
Both candidates are veterans. Bryan served in the first Gulf War during the early 1990s and received the Bronze Star and other honors. Carr, also a Gulf War veteran, has leadership duties with the local American Legion Post.
In fact, Carr said his involvement in military affairs has kept him from the campaign trail. Knowing Bryan through local veterans groups, Carr said he won't worry if he doesn't win the election.
"If I lose, I'm not worried about the ward," Carr said. "It'll be in pretty good hands."

1. What relevant experience and personal qualifications would you bring to the Tupelo City Council?
As a small business owner and employer that makes a payroll weekly, I bring a level of experience to the council on what business owners throughout the city are facing daily. As a councilman, this same experience in budgeting and policy making will lend a hand in whether our new mayor will be an effective leader or not.
I am a life-long student of government and history. I have been a leader with 23 years of military service, 22 years as a non-commissioned officer.
2. Name the top three goals/projects that you will pursue if elected.
1. Shore up neighborhoods and develop policies and plans for increasing middle class housing.
2. Nominate and approve school board members that have a direct stake in the game. I will not nominate or vote for any nominee that does not have children in elementary school. The nominee must be willing to enjoy and suffer from their decisions.
3. A strategic plan, 25 years, that betters our quality of life, focuses on neighborhood redevelopment, and maintains and betters our infrastructure for future growth.
1. Reduction of strangling ordinances that are running people away from Tupelo.
2. Reduction of spending by the city and work towards a lower sales tax.
3. Restoration of freedoms and rights of all Tupelo citizens.
3. The 2010 Census showed stalled population growth and median income in Tupelo compared to northern suburbs. How should city government help retain and recruit middle-class residents?
Our schools are the nucleus of our city. Our current school situation is a byproduct of poor housing policy and bad planning. Housing policy that focuses on home ownership, tough but fair rental property enforcement, and neighborhood redevelopment is the answer to improving our schools. Large businesses are heavily recruited by CDF and the MDA, and get incentives to locate within our area. We the city can do the same. We can offer tax abatement on improvements to houses, in selected neighborhoods, for improvements to the structure. The owner must occupy the house for a given period of time, 5 to 7 years based on amount of the abatement, before they can sell the house.
Restoration of freedoms and rights of the citizens would go a long way towards curbing the exodus of citizens from Tupelo. I am not sure we may ever get them back once they are settled in other communities, but most people I know, especially younger ones, express a dislike of the strangling ordinances in place.
4. Tupelo has begun a taxpayer-funded neighborhood redevelopment initiative. Do you support continued action and expansion of these projects?
This is not a taxpayer-funded redevelopment. When it reaches it fruition, it will be a public/private funded initiative to improve our city. The neighborhood in question is old and so is its infrastructure. The city purchasing condemned an unsightly property is a good investment. Once the purchasing is complete, and a master plan forged, private developers will be able to build, with their money, based on the development code outlines. You now have a neighborhood with new infrastructure and instead of house with a $15,000 cost basis, that's what the city paid for the last one, you have one with a $120,000 or more cost basis.
I am against any initiatives that involve federal taxpayer money. As long as it is funded at a local level, I see little problem with it. Federal money usually comes with strings attached.

All relationships are based on having certain needs being met. Healthy relationships are ones where there is a mutual meeting of these needs. Respect, honesty, communication are just some of those needs When those needs and others are not being met, the relationship will fall into disrepair. Together we will identify those needs and work to correct the imbalance. It is not too late, love can be rekindled. And it can last a life time.

I think,
In my opinion.
If we want to "Blame" anyone we could blame Al Gore for inventing the internets.
And Bill Gates for Microsoft. Global communication, more than anything is the blame.
These folk have been living under a sheet (pun intended) for centuries. Held in place by
Scripture from the dark ages. A wonderful thing it is to learn of and then want to be free citizens.
Those poor folks century old oppression is an injury that is time to heal.
All physical therapy is painful. But must be endured to get to the positive outcome in the end.
I do not think "We" should nation build. But can lead by example when possible.
And honor our pesky U.N. agreements "For the Good of the Planet."

Thumbs down: Matthews could miss a month
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Dom Capers thinks he might have figured out the secret to keeping Clay Matthews healthy.
"I told him he's going to have to stop sacking the quarterback because the last two weeks, he's injured himself sacking the quarterback," the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator said of his four-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker in a moment of gallows humor Monday.
Yes, the Green Bay Packers know what life is like without Matthews, and they're bracing themselves again for being without him after Matthews broke his thumb during Sunday's 22-9 victory over the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.
Matthews, who left the Packers' pre-bye loss at Cincinnati on Sept. 22 with a hamstring injury he suffered while forcing his second fumble of the game on a hit on quarterback Andy Dalton, injured his thumb on the final play of the third quarter, when he came unblocked and sacked Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford for a 12-yard loss.
Matthews grabbed for Stafford with his right hand and then hit the hand on the ground and he finished the play. Afterward, Matthews could be seen looking at his hand before coming off the field, and when he came to the Packers sideline, he reached across his face to unsnap his chinstrap on the right side of this helmet with his left hand. He was then taken to the locker room for x-rays by the Packers' medical staff.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said in his usual day-after-the-game news conference Monday afternoon that Matthews was at a doctor's appointment being examined and that he was unsure how long his star defensive player would be sidelined.
"All the information's not in yet," McCarthy said. "I really don't have anything to announce there."
Asked if he thought the injury was season-ending, McCarthy replied, "I'm hopeful it's not season ending. I think we're all hopeful, but you have to get all the opinions and make sure you always do right by the player."
Shortly after McCarthy made those comments, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Matthews is expected to miss one month and that surgery was considered likely. Later, an NFL source told ESPNWisconsin.com that his understanding is that Matthews will indeed need surgery but that the timeline for how long he'll be sidelined is unclear.
At the very least, it appears Matthews will miss next Sunday's game at defending Super Bowl-champion Baltimore. After playing all 16 games as a rookie in 2009, when he missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury, Matthews missed one game with a hamstring injury in 2010. In 2011, he was a healthy inactive for the meaningless regular-season finale against Detroit after the Packers had locked up home-field advantage for the playoffs, but he missed four games last season with a hamstring injury before returning from the layoff and recording seven sacks in the next five games (including playoffs).
If Matthews is going to miss at least six weeks, the Packers could place him on injured reserve with the designation to return. Then again, perhaps he could be back sooner and could play wearing a protective club cast on his right hand.
Without Matthews, who had five tackles and a sack in Sunday's game, the Packers played Mike Neal and Nick Perry as their outside linebackers. Neal, a converted defensive end, finished with a sack and six tackles; Perry, the team's first-round pick last year whose season ended after six games because of wrist surgery, finished with two sacks and five tackles; Neal had one sack and six tackles.
"The one encouraging thing to me is, I think Mike Neal has made really good strides. I think you saw him play his best game yesterday, I think you saw Nick Perry play his best game yesterday," Capers said. 'And that's the nature of this business.
"Not knowing (Matthews') status and what's going to go on there, we need for Mike Neal and Nick Perry to be ready to play next week the way they played this week. Because they played their best football this week."
Meanwhile, the Packers apparently aren't overly concerned about the hamstring injury suffered by starting inside linebacker Brad Jones. After Jones left Sunday's game with the injury, he was replaced by backup Robert Francois, who suffered a ruptured Achilles' tendon later in the game.
Francois was placed on season-ending injured reserve Monday, but rather than replacing him with another inside linebacker, the Packers instead called up cornerback James Nixon from the practice squad. That leaves them with three other inside linebackers besides Jones – fellow starter A.J. Hawk, veteran backup Jamari Lattimore and rookie seventh-round pick Sam Barrington.

STARKVILLE – Mississippi lawmakers face the usual lineup of tough issues in the 2013 session – the state budget, transportation issues, charter schools, renewed calls for a state bond bill, and perhaps the toughest issue of all, the question of whether or not to expand the state's Medicaid program.
The 2013 regular session is set to run Jan. 8 through April 7.
On the transportation front, there are increasing calls across the state for transportation funding, especially for road and bridge maintenance.
The federal gas tax hasn't changed in 20 years. Mississippi is one of 14 states nationwide that hasn't adjusted the state gas tax in more than 20 years.
Couple that with the fact that only five states – not including Mississippi – index their gas tax to inflation, and there's the fundamental riddle of transportation funding. At the federal and state level, rising costs of road and bridge construction and maintenance continue to drive up the cost of building and maintaining highway infrastructure – including the rising cost of fuel.
Mississippi's 18.4 cents per gallon gas tax – last hiked in 1987 – is a flat tax. When we pay $2 a gallon for gas at the pump, the tax is 18.4 cents per gallon. When we pay $4 per gallon at the pump, the state tax is still 18.4 cents per gallon. The only way the state takes in more revenue in gas taxes is for the volume of gas consumed to increase.
According to a report by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the state's flat gas tax isn't keeping pace with the inflation of rising highway construction and maintenance costs and with the modern fuel economy improvements in today's vehicles.
Central District Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall says the ASCE report makes clear that Mississippi has an estimated $30 billion in highway and bridge needs between 2008 and 2035. But even in a "best-case scenario," the state's current gas tax structure would only generate $15.3 billion to meet those expenses.
The Medicaid expansion battle will pit the state's Republican legislative and executive leadership against the Mississippi Hospital Association and public health care advocates who tout the expansion provided by the federal Affordable Care Act as "economic development" and good health care policy.
GOP leaders say the future of the expansion is uncertain and that such uncertainty makes the proposed expansion fiscally irresponsible. Lawmakers will be whipsawed between those two disparate political positions.
The political train appears to be on the track for adoption of significant charter school legislation, but questions linger about how much real gain the measure will bring to the state's educational system. Also, there is some lingering enmity in the Legislature about just how expansive the charter program backed by the leadership will be in terms of "successful" school districts.
The state budget negotiations will be helped by the fact that revenue estimates have been met and slightly exceeded, but hurt by the tepid pace of recovery. Mississippi is one of 27 states reporting to the National Conference of State Legislatures that general fund revenue growth rates are lower than in previous recoveries.
Uncertainty over what Congress and the White House would do about the so-called "fiscal cliff" also left Mississippi lawmakers – as were their counterparts across the country – in holding patterns as to crafting solutions to state issues like Medicaid that had a strong federal component.
Mississippi lawmakers face making policy in the poorest state in the union year after year. But since 2005, their jobs have been exacerbated by Hurricane Katrina, protracted recessions, and now fundamental changes in federal public health care that have unprecedented impacts in poor states.
The session begins with state leaders assessing impacts from congressional actions or inactions and move forward from that point.

Marvin - If they do not seem to care about the $3.2 million in natural gas that they are flaring off every day, why would they care about a little old oil spill?
Interesting that your accounting only included the cost of oil in the equation. How is the market going to handle the total devaluation of the 10 acres of land, lost of long term productivity, etc? Did the price of oil go up to provide the disincentive to such reckless activities? Has it gone up to account for the external costs associated with the other 299 spills? Seems like the market always forgets about these external costs of production that society get left with. Wish I was in a position to invest in Berkshire Hathaway.

i heard it was not a spill and that since our govenment wouldn't allow construction of a pipeline......they were just gonna ship it south to refineries in a ditch. though i am not a geologist i sometimes wonder, "how can something that came out of the ground be so bad for the ground?"
john mccallie
You can prove your theory by planting the fruit, vegetable or native grass of your choice in some soil saturated with crude oil and see how well it grows. Then you can blanch some of it in oily water and let the skeptics see how great the stuff tastes by scarfing it down on Fox news. -Paul
there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.
Ever wonder how a company can stay in business if the people making the decisions are willing to throw away $3.2 million a day? Of course we are assuming that they have a viable way to capture that NG. I have no experience in the industry (like most here, I suspect), but I find it highly unlikely that the facts would support this allegation. But it makes for a good headline.

Police searching for murder suspect
SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane police continue their search for the suspect in what hopefully will be the last homicide of 2012.
On Sunday, patrol officers were called to a home near the intersection of Wall and Augusta on reports that a man had been shot to death there. Now major crimes detectives say they have probable cause to arrest Salvador Rivera Romero, 26, for that killing.
The shooting has all the hallmarks of a drug -related murder with both the suspect and the home where the murder happened having a history of guns and drug dealing.Sunday murder suspect search
About 5:30 p.m. Sunday witnesses said the gunman knocked on the door, and when the victim answered he was shot to death. Patrol officers flooded the area looking for the suspect but later determined he had driven away from the scene.
The three women inside the home at the time of the shooting were taken down to the Public Safety Building and detectives later determined Rivera Romero was a viable suspect.
"They're doing some research on the people that frequent the house. We're looking at previous calls we've had to the location. We're looking up people's criminal history that might be involved with this," Spokane Police Captain Brad Arleth said.
The suspect's criminal history does include drug charges and was deported to Mexico at one point in his life. Rivera Romero was most recently arrested in Moses Lake also has connections to the Tri-Cities.
He was last seen possibly driving a dark colored Dodge Intrepid.

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I like the Loon soft-head stuff - it's easy to use, clean up & form.
I have 2 bottles, one thinned & one "straight" - I use the thin stuff for he intermediate steps of flys & the straight for large heads.
It doesn't scuff like hard epoxy & haven't clousered my tips yet...also easy on gelcoats.
my .02,
me no like
I found the Loon hard head to be extremely cloudy, so I tried the Loon soft head, and it was only a little better. Better, but certainly not clear - I had the same results you report. I now use the softhead to coat knots and such (easier to use than aquaseal because of the bottle and brush built in). Since I rarely fishing salt anymore, I rarely use epoxy on flies, and so haven't settled on an alternative.
good luck, some chemist out there will hopefully be reading this
Bill -
I recently applied the non-toxic softex stuff you gave me over braided bodies for silverside patterns (thick version). It worked fine, although it seemed a touch cloudier than the real softex. Once in the water there was no difference.
But when I sniffed it from the paper bag I didn't lose consciousness! ;-) Seriously, the idea of NOT breathing the toluene was comforting. I appreciate having it now that I am tying those patterns.
I'll bring some of these out for coho soon!
softbody (plus a complaint about ez-shape sparkle body)
A couple of years ago i bought some stuff called softbody from feathercraft (www.feather-craft.com) that i never got to try before leaving striper land for the PNW. I dumped it on Juro, but i don't know if he ever had a chance to try it out - it's supposed to be something like a non-toxic version of softex, and it comes in two consistencies - thick and thin.
Has anybody tried this out? if so, i'd love to hear about
- what applications, heads, gluing eyes, etc.
- is it stronger than silicone?
- does it stink after it dries?
- does it go cloudy/white after exposure to water?
- ..
The latter issue is my complaint about ez-shape sparkle body - sure it dries into some very nice looking colors, and i've made some killer crab shells, squid bodies and eel/fish heads with it, but take those nice looking flies and fish with them for a few minutes and the stuff turns back to the same milky (practically white) colors that it is when it is in the bottle!
The only way i've been able to prevent that is to overcoat the stuff with a clear liquid vinyl that i got from feather-craft (i think they called it vinyl jig finish) but this is certainly not how the stuff is advertised, and it sure takes the non-toxic nature away from it.
thanks for your feedback,

On April 1, 2014, the Board of Public Accountancy took Final Action to implement the following Regulations:
Increase in application, licensing and permit fees
(effective May 1, 2014)
Fees for CPA Examination qualification, license/permit applications, license/permit fees, and reinstatements will increase an average of 12.5% as indicated below:
The Notice of the Boards Final Action is published in the April 18, 2014 issue
of the Maryland Register.
Time period for amending CPE reported in license renewal application
(effective April 28, 2014).
Licensees who wish to amend the CPE reported in their license renewal application will have 30 days from the date the application was submitted to do so.
Requests to amend the number of CPEs reported must be submitted in writing to the Board. A request for modification must include documentation of the
completion of the number of CPE hours claimed in the initial application as well as any additional hours of CPE.
Conversion rate from quarter hours to semester hour college course clarified
(effective April 28, 2014).
The Board established that a quarter hour of college level education equals .667 (2/3) hours of a semester hour of college instruction. Specifically,
this formula establishes the minimum number of hours of quarter hour college education required to meet the basic accounting and business courses. This
conversion formula also applies to the 120 semester hour equivalent for examination qualification and the 150 semester hour requirement for license
qualification. To qualify for the CPA Examination an applicant must have completed at least 180 quarter hours to equal 120 semester hours. To qualify
for a license, an applicant must have completed 225 quarter hours to equal 150 semester hours.
Licensees must report convictions disciplinary actions to Board within 30 days
(effective April 28, 2014)
The Board added a new responsibility under the Code of Professional Conduct. A licensee who is convicted of a felony or misdemeanor under the laws of
the United States or any state; sanctioned by a unit of the federal or state government; or any regulatory entity established by law must disclose the
conviction or sanction to the Board, in writing, within 30 days. An appeal of the conviction or sanction does not relive the licensee of the responsibility
to disclose the conviction or sanction.

I sometimes state that "training dogs and raising kids are very similar". Some folks scorn at me for making such an analogy, especially my wife.
Please let me explain. I have three children and one grandson. I currently have five labs. I once read that when training a lab you are dealing with an animal that has an intellect similar to that of a three year-old child. Now that my grandson is three I totally agree.
My children were raised to obey their parents, mind their manners, be on their best behavior while out in public, etc. (sounds kind of like obedience training to me).
Anyway, before I get too far off track here, let me get to the substance of this post. I now have a grandson Jordan. Mom and dad (my oldest son) were never married, we have a great relationship with mom and she lets Jordan stay at our house 15 nights per month. Jordan has been around the dogs and dog training/hunt tests since day one. Now if I ever say anything to my wife referring to Jordan's upbringing and likening it to any form of dog training, well I get the meanest look and an earfull to go with it.
Here's what happened:
Jordan turned three on November 26th. He had his birthday on the Saturday before (opening day of duck season). Pop's (your's truly) went duck hunting in lieu of attending the birthday party, first mistake. Then on the 26th we had Jordan at our house. Well we had a gift for him in a large cardboard box. He opened the gift played with it briefly and, like many three year-olds, decided that it was more fun to play with the cardboard box than it was to play with the over priced plastic toy that came packaged in it.
So I'm sitting there playing with Jordan while Meme (Wife/Jordan's grandmother) is out of earshot and out of sight doing something else. So Jordan says "Pops play like I'm "Norma" and say kennel" so, playing along I say "kennel!" and Jordan jumps in the box just like a dog kenneling. After doing this for five or twenty times, Jordan (who is much more observant than I give him credit for, has obviously been paying close attention to the dog training, thus realizing that the dogs don't always comply) says "Pops now tell me kennel and make me get in the box" so, just PLAYING ALONG for Jordan's sake, I said kennel and Jordan barked at me and I grabbed him by the shirt collar and the belt and slid him into the box as I repeated "kennel!" and when I slid him into the box he began to whimper (mimicking a dog). Guess who walked in at that very moment?! A VERY angry Meme! Of course she thought I had flipped out. I explained it all but it still didn't go over well.
Moral of the story, don't mix dog traing and child rearing/ child play, unless you are absolutely certain a responsible adult won't stumble in at the wrong time and immediately think the worst.
Still in the dog house,
Lonnie Spann

When WestJet flies to this destination:
Year-round service
Your first glimpse of Montego Bay is of a sprawling seaside city framed by blue sea and hills of rugged jungle known as Cockpit Country. Jamaica's second-largest city (population 100,000) has it all – white sand beaches, endless sunshine, shopping, distinctive cuisine and a laid-back, reggae-splashed culture steeped in history.
Stately old sugar plantation houses dot the steep hillsides overlooking Montego Bay (or Mo Bay, as the locals call it). There's an intoxicating mix of cultural attractions, richly spiced foods, music and dance (think reggae legend Bob Marley). Accommodations range from simple beach cabanas and homey inns to elaborate, all-inclusive villages.
Blessed with sunshine and hot weather nearly 365 days a year, the tropical climate and warm water attract adventurers, young and old. Montego Bay sits approximately halfway between the towns of Negril to the west and Ocho Rios and Port Antonio to the east. Cuba is 130 km to the north.
Take the family on a horseback ride through a Jamaican village, then cool off with a swim. Soar above a jungle stream on a zipline under a canopy of trees. Climb a waterfall and swing, Tarzan-style, into a freshwater pool. Or go snorkelling off a coral reef, catching glimpses of everything from stingrays and colourful angelfish to eels, dolphins and sharks.
If you want a slower pace, indulge in a massage in a private cabana, or stroll the powdery sand beaches and watch the setting sun tint the horizon orange and lavender. Barter with a market vendor or stop at a roadside stand for a Red Stripe beer and jerk chicken.
For a taste of local life, head out on a Saturday night to Doctor's Cave or Cornwall Beach, or take a drive into the backcountry.
Montego Bay is a fantastic destination for:
- beaches
- nightlife
- golf
Events of interest:
Reggae Sumfest
This reggae event, held annually in July, showcases the best talents in roots, rock and reggae music to a diverse audience. In keeping with the motto, "Promoting Music, the Universal Force," each year top Jamaican acts perform along with international artists. Previous headliners include Destiny's Child, Chris Brown, Usher, Mary J. Blige, Neyo, Jasmin Sullivan, Kerry Hilson, LL Cool J, Rihanna, 50-Cent & G-Unit, Missy Elliott, Morgan's Heritage, Sean Paul, Damian Marley, Trey Songs, R. Kelly, Miguel, Flo Rida and many others.
Bob Marley celebrations
The first week of February features activities throughout the island to celebrate the life and achievements of music legend Bob Marley. Activities in Jamaica usually include a service at the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and ceremonial laying of plaques at the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston.

A recent story http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/8180442/FBI-warns-Barbie-camera-could-be-used-by-paedophiles.html tells of a leaked FBI memo about the perils of a new Barbie doll. It appears that the new Barbie comes equipped with a web cam that can allow children to send videos of themselves across the net. The FBI, rightfully so, worries that this may be a weapon of pedophiles to be used against children.
There is a review with a video at http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2010/12/08/fbi-video-barbie-could-hold-evidence-in-child-abuse-cases/
This is yet another case where a cool technology can be used for good or for bad. At the end of the day it is the parent's responsibility to control and monitor their children's access to the internet and teach them what is appropriate and what is not.
From what I have been able to see, the doll must be connected to a PC with a USB cable to send pictures and movies. Parents should monitor what their children are sending on the internet. It is important to teach children that just because someone online says they are a kid it doesn't mean that they really are. I know of parents who have become "friends" on their kid's MySpace or FaceBook accounts. This actually can be a good way to teach kids to be more cautious about who they accept as friends.
A Barbie webcam isn't likely to be much more risky than a normal webcam, but it is always a good idea to recognize potential threats. Speaking of which, the Barbie doll is a USB device with storage, which means it can house autorun threats. I hope Mattel is more careful than several other companies have been in the past or Barbie can come straight from the store and infect computers.

Has it really been 50 years since JFK was assassinated ..I remember being in the 2nd grade and them letting us out of school at lunchtime.....
But as gruesome and heinous the event I find myself glued to the CNN special on the subject, unable to look away..Having lived in Dallas for ten years I avoided Dealey Plaza like the plague, having to make that drive down the tunnel or going by Parkland Hospital used to just creep me out. I even remember going to a co workers house, once inside there were pictures of her grandfather DA Henry Wade plastered all over the house, now I see news clips of her grandpa explaining the Jack Ruby -Oswald killing and its chilling because I saw the photos from these news clips in the house
But the most surreal moment is watching Walter Cronkite's chilling announcement to the world
Given what we know now with forensic science how can we believe the Warren Commission
Is it still the crime of the century ? is it the penultimate conspiracy ? is it explainable using science and logic ? or are there still info that is hidden deep in the archives that will never be exposed ?

AS/EN/JISQ 9100/9120 Aerospace Quality Management Standard
AS/EN 9100 and 9120 Revision C
NOTICE: All AS9100 and AS9120 Revision B registered companies must transition/upgrade to Revision C by June, 2012. After June, 2012, all Revision B certificates become invalid. To complete the upgrade and remain certified, clients must have their new Rev. C certificate in-hand by June 30, 2012. Considering time to audit, process, and close nonconformances, clients should target and complete their on-site upgrade audit by the end of April, 2012.
The AS/EN/JISQ 9100 (AS9100) Revision C Quality Systems standard for Aerospace is the current management system standard. Based on ISO 9001:2008, it includes another 100 requirements referring specifically to aerospace. AS9100 also supports the FAA's FAR Title 14 Part 21 requirements.
The revised AS9100 and AS9120 Rev. C standards were released in 2009. The AS9100 required checklist and updated training for auditors has been available, and all auditors and registrants are required to transition by June, 2012. The standard applies to management systems that cover quality in design, development, production, installation, distribution, and servicing as well as purchasing, validation, and shipping.
A Standard for the Aerospace Supply Chain
Companies that are driven to compete and win in the aerospace industry can demonstrate their commitment, responsibility and expertise through independent AS9100 certification by SRI. Certification can be applied to any area, design and manufacturing of equipment, parts, supply, maintenance, overhaul and repair depots, accessory supply, airport and airline operations, flight operations and cargo handling.
- The AS9110 standard is for maintenance organizations that work in aerospace. It assures that aerospace products are maintained for stringent conditions, where repairs can be difficult and endurance is essential. The standard focuses on controls and maintenance plans, configurations and the qualifications needed to perform maintenance.
- AS9120 registration applies to quality management systems for distributors who regularly stock aerospace commodity items (aerospace stockists.). This standard allows these organizations to demonstrate their ability to consistently provide products that meet customer and regulatory requirements, and enhance customer satisfaction through continual improvement processes.
The AS9100 standard contains the elements of the ISO 9001:2008 standard and its corresponding guidelines. Specific items have been added to AS9100 to support aerospace-specific quality and reliability requirements(i):
- Configuration management process. Variations to key characteristics of a product must be managed for fit, performance, service life and manufacturability.
- Planning product realization. The standard emphasizes planning for in-process verification when a product can't be verified at a later point. Tooling design must also be used to ensure that process data will be captured.
- Design-and-development with in-process control points. Design outputs are used to provide identification of key characteristics.
- Design-and-development validation. AS9100 provides information on documentation, testing, and results.
- Identifying and maintaining suppliers. AS9100 includes additional expectations for supplier approval and management.
- Supplier Control. Inspection, validation, and acceptance of products from suppliers is addressed. Whether managed on-site or by the supplier, the process and controls must be managed by the system.
- Supplier Management. Each supplier is responsible for managing its sub-tier suppliers according to AS9100 standard, including source requirements, critical processes, and its sub-tier suppliers.
- Communication requirements. The standard also addresses issues such as engineering requirements, testing samples, and access and inspection of suppliers' facilities.
Benefits of Certification
Companies that seek AS9100 certification strive to exceed government requirements, improve their performance through excellence in management practices, track and communicate their progress and work with independent auditors to enhance and certify their management systems.
Through independent certification by an accredited auditing firm like SRI, aerospace companies and vendors can certify that they have an effective system in place. In addition, Quality Management Systems guide firms in assessing their needs, building performance goals and reporting progress to the public.
The other benefits of AS9100 certification:
- Increased customer satisfaction
- Ongoing operational improvements that cut waste and reduce costs
- Fewer errors and lower return rates
- Greater productivity and improved performance
- Simplified documentation
- Greater audit and surveillance efficiency
- Greater access to new markets
- Meets requirements for suppliers of the major aerospace manufacturers, such as GE Aircraft, Boeing, Rolls-Royce Allison and Pratt and Whitney.

Hi all.
I was just wondering how the UK contingent are getting on with the hunt for preview figures, and if anyone has any recommendations to make about shops over here. (Sorry if you don't think this post deserved it's own thread).
I guess like a lot of the UK folk here I've ordered some figures from thetoyshop.com today. I ordered Zam, R3 and Jango (going without the Clone Trooper till i have more money). As of this evening their site says they still have some in stock (£6 each plus about £3 postage for the entire order). I read on rebelscum.com that thetoyshop.com is only getting about 140 of each figure due to Habro's reductions in order sizes. Seems like awfully few.
I generally pick up most of my figures on Ebay.co.uk but i'd rather buy from a realworld shop if the prices aren't too high. Here are some comments on the shops near to me:
"Another World"
This seems to be the best source for Star Wars in Derby, they stock POTJ and recently got the FX-7 wave in. The figures generally range from £7 to £10 each. Their stock doesn't seem to come in very often and about a month before the FX-7 wave came in I was told by one of the workers that they wouldn't be getting anything else until the EP2 figures are out - I don't know if he was referring to the preview figures or not.
"Toys R US"
Lame. A few POTF are pegwarming (Lobot and Leia) along with the dregs of EP1 rubbish (Ultimate Hair Amidala?!). Recently got the Final Duel LEGO sets for £6 each.
"Co-op Department Store"
Only a few bits of Lego (Final Duel sets, Chewbacca and a walker etc) Similar prices to TRU.
"Forbidden Planet"
I haven't been in here for maybe 3 months. At the time they had an impressive POTJ selection including the sandtrooper which seems to have vanished completely now, even from ebay.co.uk and the Deluxe sets. Prices were similar to "Another World" above.
Oh dear. Despite being pretty big, this place only had 1 Anakin Mechanic and 2 Chocobi-Wans. If i remember rightly, the Obi-Wans were £9 each!
"Last Picture Show" - Meadowhall
Very little Star Wars here at all, aside from the odd book etc. Certainly no POTJ that I've seen.
"Forbidden Planet"
At the time that I last visited nottingham, Forbidden Planet had several POTJ figures, but nothing new. Picked up a Lando for about £8.
"The Entertainer"
Very little EP1 stuff, no POTJ whatsoever.
"Another World"
This branch of Another World seems to cater for collectors a lot less than the Derby branch. There were very few POTJ pegwarmers when I went. I don't remember what figures specifically.
If anyone has chance, I'd appreciate some information about other UK sci-fi shops.
Thanks a lot.

25 years ago, the body styles were so static and the detail sculpting of the body parts was so bad that accessories had to have brackets sculpted on them for the figures to hold them. Some of us will remember the old body styles of the 70's that hardly permitted any articulation other than the head turning, the arms swinging at the shoulder, and the legs swinging at the hip.
The transitions and improvements that have come seem to have actually taken place relatively recently. Mostly within the last 6 years or so (and is it just me, or does it seem to anyone else that the Star Wars line gets the leftover bodies from the G.I. Joe line).
Thank goodness today we have figures that are not only sculpted to better hold there weapons and accessories, but the articulation has had some definite improvement as well. An example of the newest and best-to-date body style is the Jango Fett "Ultimate Bounty Hunter" figure. The articulation on that figure is the standard by which I will judge all other 12" Star Wars figures.
I would certainly like to see ALL of the future 12" figures made with this type of body. I would gladly pay the extra 5-10 bucks per figure to get the sculpt/body/accessories that came with this Jango Figure.
But being a realist...I know we are going to be stuck with hte ones they are using now for Yoda only knows how long. At least they are not horrible. They can, after all, be moved some. I long for the day that I can display my Jedi Knights and Sith Lords in some awesome poses fighting each other. The one I want to do most is a pose of Darth Maul blocking attacks from both Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi at the same time.
