I am a 35 year old mom with 3 children. I am very self-conscious of the lax skin on my lower abdomen and can not wear a bikini because of the stretch marks and wrinkling around my belly button. I am in the process of losing weight and have noticed that the more weight I lose, the worse my belly looks.
I am 5' 4" and weigh 130 pounds and will lose 10 to 15 more pounds before considering a Tummy Tuck. From the picture, would a Mini Tummy Tuck or full tummy tuck be the best option? Thanks for your help!

FAX is basically a technique of reproducing a document electronically at a distant place. FAX machine is an example of digital communication system.
Uses of a fax machine:
(a) It sends all the data over the telephone lines. Even the images are converted into digitized form and then are sent over the telephone lines.
(b) It also does the task of receiving the digitized image information. Then it reconstructs the image by doing the decoding of the digitized image.
Some steps are followed to send the data through fax. These are:
1. Some sensors are used at the receiving ends to read the received paper.
2. Black and white spots are marked on the paper at the sending end. This is done to make the travelling of the data possible over telephone line.
3. A mechanism is used to understand this coming data in the form of black and white dots, and to reproduce the original document by reading these dots at the receiving end.
Today Group3 facsimile machines are the most popular machines used by the majority. Those machines which belong to these groups are capable of communicating with similar machines of Group 3.
Let's now discuss about these machines. These machines have a resolution of 8 pixels per inch. These machines use two distinct vertical resolutions. These can transmit data at a rate of 14400 bits per second. Sometimes the noise present over the line decreases the data rate up to some extent. These machines use a photodiode sensing array so that the complete line of the page can be scanned at a time. It consists of 1728 sensors. Paper illumination is also done to provide the clear view of the paper to the sensor.
To control the no of bits of the transmission different types of compression types are used:
(a) Modified Read
(b) Modified Huffman
The scanned document travels over the telephone line in the form of bits. At the receiving end decoding, decompressing and reassembling of the document lines is done. In this way we get the original document.

Ask a Question
1 to 13 of 13 « ‹ › »
Food Storage
- Box Elder bugs have emerged already and are breeding. They get into the house and crawl all over the west facing exterior house wallsand are all over the vegetable garden beds. How do I erradicate them?
- I rent out a condo in a very clean complex in Holladay. My new renter called me in a panic believing she has cockroaches. The service I then had spray the unit said "they had never seen cockroaches in 20 years here." She called again saying they still come out at night from under her refrigerator and dishwasher. I had her save some in a bag and overnight, something in the bag hatched and there were dozens. The adults look rather like the photo of a cockroach I downloaded from WikiPedia, but they are only about 3/4" long. Can you tell me about cockroaches in Utah? Who can I get to identify these insects? How can we get rid of them.
- Do spiders eat earwigs?
- How do I get rid of nightcrawlers? My lawn is getting real lumpy.
- I found a possible red and blue leaf hopper on a plant in my yard. Some experts I have contacted say we don't have them in the west. Could it be identified by you to species if I catch one and bring it in? I do have a photo of it.
- I have a big problem with a little pest in my house. I would call them fruit flies, but they don't hang around fruit. They mostly bug me as I sit here at this computer, and often times in the bathroom by the mirror. How can I get rid of these tiny flies?
- I have a house in Kanab with a lot of Desert Poppies and Blue Flax Grass that is pretty tall surrounded by Junipers in the front yard. I think I may have Noseeums. If so how do I get rid of them? I got bit up pretty bad last weekend working in the yard.
- I have been fighting a battle with snails and slugs for the past 10 years. I can't find diatomaceous earth that is free of serious pesticides and I can use around my vegetables. (It seems to be more like typical non-garden pesticide in the form I find it.) I also wonder about copper barriers and what sort of copper I could use for that.
- We have a deck that holds a raised hot tub about 3 - 4 feet off the ground (it's on a wood stand). Unfortunatley, bees or wasps (not sure which) have decided to use the insulation underneath the hot tub as their home. Help! I have elementary age kids that are always outside. How do I get rid of them?
- We have millions of tiny tan bugs that jump when you try to swat them. I think they are springtails, and I have no idea how to get rid of them. They are coming into our house (we rent out a basement apartment), and they are all over outside! They are on the concrete, the stucco, everywhere! They don't seem to be bothering my two cats or our plants outside. How do I get rid of them? I've tried putting Sevin outside around the doorway and windowsills to keep them out, however it is not working.
- Our 6-year old daughter, Rosemarie, was trying to find information on how one can identify the gender of a ladybug. She says that, "I really want to know that." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and Happy Holidays, DeWain Feller

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Although it's been a ubiquitous part of Asian cuisine for hundreds of years, bao bing (pronounced bow-BING) the frozen treat made of finely shaved flavored ice, fresh fruit, flavored sugar syrup, and condensed milk hasn't always been the easiest to find in America. So when this stylish little shop of cool and fruity bliss landed in Central Phoenix this spring, we thanked our shaved-ice stars. Our favorite is the taro with mochi balls and a glaze of black sesame, but you can personalize your bao bing however you'd like: with flavors such as strawberry, mango, and Thai tea; toppings that include boba, kiwi, lychee — even Oreos; and glaze options of condensed milk, chocolate, and caramel. Very cool.
Chef Kevin Binkley's first restaurant in Phoenix is a place where vegetables and fruits meet the future. Decidedly different from the upscale Binkley's Restaurant in Cave Creek and the more contemporary Cafe Bink in Carefree, the James Beard Award finalist's newest spot specializes in small plates of local produce re-imagined by a culinary powerhouse who just as easily could be pictured in a lab coat as an apron. From a menu that changes with the seasons, there might be roasted cauliflower with almonds, dried currants, and curry foam; juicy melon lit up with pepitas, chile piquin, ricotta salatta, and sangria granité; or sharp and peppery I'itoi onion and black-eyed peas interspersed with barbecued octopus. Fresh fruits find their way into inventive desserts like layered push-up pops and sorbet "soup" frozen with liquid nitrogen, and a well-crafted cocktail list reads like a kind of liquid science farmers market. The setting, a cozy neighborhood spot of wood floors, wainscoting, and white linen, makes Binkley's modernist take on cuisine feel right at home. (And good news: A second branch of Bink's Midtown is planned to open in Scottsdale by the end of the year.)
Thanks to Charleen Badman, there's never been a better time to eat our vegetables. At FnB, the venerated Scottsdale restaurant she co-owns with partner Pavle Milic, Badman celebrates produce like cellist Yo-Yo Ma celebrates classical music: with a reverence for the classics but with an eclectic repertoire. Turning what were once considered side dishes into centerpieces, you might find her rustic, seasonal, and locally focused creations in the form of grilled butternut squash with yogurt, marinated beluga lentils, and spiced seeds; heirloom tomatoes with crispy polenta croutons and oregano from Badman's own garden; or as her Food & Wine award-winning braised leeks topped with mozzarella, a fried egg, and mustardy bread crumbs. No matter which you choose, you'll never look at an eggplant or a broccoli floret the same way again.
Are you a diner of the adventurous sort? If so, you may want to remember the words "Chef's Special" when visiting this tidy home of satisfying Cantonese cooking in Glendale. More or less an off-the-cuff version of omakase (the Japanese term that leaves your meal up to the chef) and invented by Lucky's owners, Kitty and Kwok Pat, the Chef's Special is not so much a menu item as it is a passionate parade of very good dishes the Pats will pick for you. There may be crispy Shanghai chicken, ginger-spiked lamb and bean curd stew, or, for intrepid diners of the offal sort, pig's stomach mixed with crunchy, sour vegetables. The fun's in the not knowing. The flavors speak for themselves.
We should thank our lucky stars that James Beard Award nominee chef Shinji Kurita is in the Valley and not some other major city, where he certainly could hold his own in the area of foodie fanaticism. At his refined restaurant in Scottsdale, which accepts only a few reservations per night, Kurita prepares exquisite Japanese cuisine with a fervent dedication to top-notch ingredients. His omakase, or chef's choice dinners, are nothing short of spectacular. Then there's the luscious bluefin tuna tartare, a giant Madagascar prawn in black bean sauce, and a stellar carpaccio of seared halibut drizzled with ponzu. Nearly impressive as the fare is the selection of wines, sakes, and Japanese craft beers.
Leave it to Hong Kong-born chef Johnny Chu (Lucky Dragon, Fate, Sens) to bring flavor, fashion, and a house-party vibe to the heart of the Central Avenue business corridor. You'll find his fans, the city's young and chic, regularly dropping by to sip on sake-based martinis and nibble on small plates of Chu's top-notch Asian fusion fare, including five-spice quail, BLT spring rolls, and spicy basil tofu. The spacious white room, alive with purple lights and thumping beats, makes it easy to play it low-key while still staying "seen."

I am knitting the thrummed mittens and do not understand the pattern. I am knitting the 4-7 years size and it tells you to cast on 28 stitches and then after you have to start casting on 2 at a time for the gusset. 30 stitches doesn't work with the thrum pattern. I'm not sure how to keep the thrum pattern going after you start adding stitches for the gusset? The pattern is briggs little family thrummed mittens #105
SKIP the gussets according to the pattern. After the ribbing, knit four rounds. Rnd 5: knit 3, pm, m1, k2, m1, pm, finish the rnd.rnd 6 and all even rnds, knit.rnd 7: k3, sl marker, m1, k4, m1, sl marker, finish rndrnd 9: k3, slm, m1, k6, m1, slm, finish rnd.
Continue until you have 10 stitches (for child's mitten) between markers. Knit one rnd.Next rnd: knit 3, slip next 10 onto a stitch holder, increase with backwards loop for 2 stitches, continue.
When the mitten is done, put the 10 thumb stitches on needles, pick up 12 more. Continue in pattern as best as possible.

The huge Westfield London mall in Shepherd's Bush will stay open until midnight on Monday to cope with what is predicted to be the biggest-ever last-minute Christmas shopping rush.
Stores will carry on serving customers throughout the evening for the busiest shopping day of the year.
Myf Ryan, Westfield's UK marketing director, said "We're noticing that consumers are increasingly time-poor and people simply aren't able to leave work early for Christmas shopping because of increased work pressures.
"We hope that extending our opening hours to accommodate for the last-minute shopping rush will help take the stress out of shopping."
The shopping centre will also open from 8am until 6pm on Christmas Eve, before shutting for Christmas Day. The sister Westfield mall in Stratford City will stay open until 11pm every day except Sunday until Christmas Eve, when it closes its doors at 6pm.
Many West End stores will stay open until 10pm on Monday. Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly started trading until 10pm every night from December 12 until Sunday. It will close at 5.30pm on Christmas Eve.
Sally Eden, of the New West End Company, said: "This Monday West End retailers will welcome two different types of shopper — Londoners and visiting international customers. This kind of last-minute shopping historically sees our retailers benefiting from sales of accessories, perfume, jewellery and beauty products — easy and quick to pick up."
Card payment company Visa Europe predicts that around £1.2billion will be spent on Britain's high streets on Monday, equivalent to £862,500 a minute or around £15,000 per second.
Jeremy Nicholds, Visa director of commercial development, said that the spike in demand would mirror "the rush to shop online at the beginning of the month".
Last weekend the two Westfield shopping malls reported their busiest Saturday and Sunday of the year.

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
Hi. I'm Dr. Gotthelf. I have been a vet for 35 years and I would like to use my experience to help you with your pet's medical problem.
This could be a behavioral problem rather than a medical problem. I have found that when cats are peeing on objects, they are not happy. I will often try a human antidepressant that works well in most cats to make them feel better psychologically. It is called Elavil. Ask your vet if your cat could try some for 2 weeks to see if that makes a difference. It really has no side effects.

Myasnoy Bor is a small village in the Novgorod region. In April of 1942, there was a battle taken away many lives of Russian soldiers. Later this place got a name of the "valley of death". Nowadays active searching works are conducted in the area. More and more remains are found daily. So let's follow a group of activists and explore this gloomy place.
At the headquarters coordinating a searching process the most interesting findings of the current season lie on a special table.

What can be nice here?
It is terrible place.
Then the whole world would be a terrible place. I have no idea how many people died on every field or even your yard in the years, that humanity has populated this planet and was in a constant state of war with each other.
Is there a central location that the artifacts go to or are they allowed to keep them?
must be certainly very "safe" to manipulate those grenades etc
Old battle fields should be kept sacred, respected and protected (by strict laws if nothing else) instead of being availible for anyone to go digging around on them for treasure. If these people are allowed to do it to help preserve what's there with respect, that's not bad but that other post where they hid most of their faces from the camera, those people are no better than grave robbers. I doubt they would like it if someone was disrespecting and digging up their own graves to take what they could find valuable or for souvenirs.
Once you're dead you're dead. What happens then doesn't matter.
So for you it doesn't matter but for some others it does. These young men (and young women) lost their lives fighting. The least anyone can do is show them some respect.
The soldiers found on the forest are buried with great respect and recognition. If they weren't found, they would be still under the earth, completely forgotten…
What happens to the German soldiers found? Where do they get a honorable grave?
Pic captioned "Power Lines": Thanks for the info, amigo!
I had to laugh at the power lines one as well.
"The Larch"
Good morning. I am the author of this photoes.
That was told in my post, but wasn't copied here:
Making of this report was inspired by russian authorities – there are plans to build Moscow-StPetersburg highway through that forest and over the bones.
And when that power lines were made at 1960s, bulldozers put the ground with bones from both sides from the place that line were built.
So that photo is more than important in my original post, but that part of message wasn't copied in here.
Evgeny Feldman, Novaya gazeta
I'm a bit surprised that anybody is allowed to dig like that. Professionals trying to recover and identify people is one thing, but this looks like more like trinket hunting and then if they find somebody, they just turn the remains over. Not the same thing.
So sad, so much loss. Photos remind me of that "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" song.
in old europe there isnt a piece of land left where there hasn't been a battle or two in the past two millenias, there has been so many wars there are remains left literally everywhere. you can't make all of them gravesites, it makes more sense to let the history freaks dig around and just bury any remains found in a proper graveyard
You're right. I realize there are too many places where people have died fighting, they cannot be protected from treasure hunters.
I simply feel it's wrong to haphazardly dig up the dead with the sole purpose of finding war souvenirs or something to sell disregarding the remains completely. What if they take something inportant away from the site that could help someone else identify the people who died there?
If they are respectful of the remains and turn them over to the proper people to be reburied, I have absolutely no problem with that as long as they tell them any important information that would help identify who the people were.
I think what these people are doing is a good thing, until they found these remains, the people who died here were listed as MIA or KIA, and never buried, finding, IDing, and burying them is the the most honorable thing to do.
Old soldiers fading away…
To my knowledge at those days, soviet commanders do not pay too many attention to put bodies of the fallen soldiers to grave. They simply left on the battlefield….
Truly appalling. This is nothing but grave robbing.Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.
In my country we laws to protect human remains and war sites. The total disrespect shown to the dead and their relatives mirrors the total disrespect of Russian authoriies and the Russians in general for their fellow counrymen. Until Russians learn to protect each others rights they are doomed to viscious repressive governments and predatory oligarchs, which is why the dead are there in the first place. Russia has learned nothing.
A. Bunka here. I was on an archeology dig and what they are doing here is grave robbing. There is no grid set up and the tools are all wrong. Surely, they are digging up Russians and Germans and legal action must be taken to protect the dead.
It's so sad to think of all of the people that were cut down at the beginning of their lives for such a wasteful and foolish an endeavor as war. May they rest in peace.
Drama queens, lot of you. This isn't a grave robbing. That extremely rusty material is junk. These people find dead bodies and try to identify them. These remains then can be given proper burial. Not that is really matters. And besides it is either experience for anyone in archeological field and perhaps other fields.
As for digging, anyone can go and dig anything. No one will stop these people. No one really should.
So stop being tough guys over here.
They're also looking for valuable artifacts. Digging up a Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves etc etc in gold makes you a small fortune. In that sense, they're graverobbers. At the same time, they're finding and naming fallen (russian) soldiers. It's a difficult issue. I think if ti were up to me, I would let archaeologists handle it, get information on the battle, and then leave 'as is' as a 'sacred ground', final resting place for the soldiers that fought and died there.

Ohio State To Get $100M Gift | WBNS-10TV, Central Ohio News
There are 96 comments on the 10TV WBNS story from Feb 16, 2011, titled Ohio State To Get $100M Gift | WBNS-10TV, Central Ohio News. In it, 10TV WBNS reports that:The Ohio State University will receive the largest monetary gift in its history on Wednesday.

OSU needs to thank the hard working poorly paid employees and temps that have been abused for years so this man could amass a fortune to share with OSU instead of paying a living wage and benefits.
#3 Feb 16, 2011
That's nice, but do you think that OSU will leave tuition alone, no. It will go up, even thought they could redirect some money to keep student cost down.
#4 Feb 16, 2011
What the hell, like OSU needs that money. He could give 100 people 1 million dollars and change there lives forever. Or, if you wanted to spread it out, 10000 people could get 10000. That would really help some people. I guess you couldn't write that off as a tax gift though huh, what a waste.
#5 Feb 16, 2011
Must be tough to be Les Wexner.
#6 Feb 16, 2011
may be he should have spent that$ onsecurity at easton to combat gang activity
#7 Feb 16, 2011
Maybe he should hire back all the people he laid off
#8 Feb 16, 2011
I think it is a wonderful thing to do and The Ohio State University and people in Ohio should be very thankful. I don't know why people on here have to bash such a generous gift to an institute of higher education that will help hundres of thousands if not more over many, many years. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Wexner and Limited Brands.
United States
#10 Feb 16, 2011
Or maybe he could give you a 1000.00 and you could go to a middle school English class and learn the difference between "there, their, and they're".
#11 Feb 16, 2011
The Wexner's have always blessed their community with generous giving.. Central Ohio is a better place because of them! Thank you!!
#12 Feb 16, 2011
Just remember this story when tuition goes up next year and you are trying to figure out if you can get yet another student loan (that you will most likely default on.) Go Bucks!
#13 Feb 16, 2011
Tuition increases are all over, not just OSU.. This is a story about a family donating 100 million dollars to the hospital and arts center.. Why would that have anything to do with tuition? Seems as if you missed the point!
#15 Feb 16, 2011
#16 Feb 16, 2011
So selecting people with higher scores is racist? Maybe the minorities should study, get a higher score and then they too would be selected.
#17 Feb 16, 2011
Les has done more for the community than 99.99999% of the population. He's not obligated to give away jack, but he does. He doesn't owe anybody anything.
#18 Feb 16, 2011
Thank you Les Wexner. I have cancer and am being treated at the James. Everytime I go for a checkup, I see the waiting room filled with people trying to survive. Friends are dying from cancer. What a generous gift. His gift can save people and their families from the pain and worry. I hope they can find a cure for cancer.
#20 Feb 16, 2011
Just think what 100 million dollars could do in this community. I guess that just proves peoples indifference to things that don't effect them, Like the hundreds of homeless people and the people who are wondering how they are going to pay the gas bill so they can stay warm and never mind the people who need medication they can't afford and those who can't afford to buy food. just give all that money to poor old OSU where the tuition is way too high and employees are way under paid. somebody needs to get a clue or maybe a conscience.
#22 Feb 16, 2011
I am from Columbus, not Grandview, WA not sure where that came from.
#24 Feb 16, 2011
Another arrogant zillionaire showing off how he over charges at his retail establishments. Charging $30.00 for a bottle of soap and only paying his employees $7.25 an hour to work their butts off. Oh, sorry sometimes if you buy 5 bottles you would get one at half off. Always bragging about his money like Oparah, they must get off on this. OSU really needs the money!! Or does Lessly really need the write off. Front page in the Dispatch,totally disgusting!!
#25 Feb 16, 2011
I think you miss the point Big John was making...the school was just accused of letting in minorities with LOWER scores and GPAs than whites who were turned away. However, Big John and Karl, that would REVERSE RACISM...and no such thing exist, according to our government (wink, wink). Makes me even prouder of my white son, who beat the odds and got accepted there even though he is a white male and therefore must be racist and the root of all evil, like me.
#26 Feb 16, 2011
Les needed the write off plus he needed to move the attention to gang soaked Easton Towne Center.

I'm looking to purchase my first new handgun. I've been around handguns and long-guns my whole life, but every handgun I've shot belonged to my dad/uncle/grandfather. I do own a Star BM that I was given, but it's time for me to buy a brand new handgun for myself. I'm looking for a .40 cal semi-automatic. I'm not in LE and don't live in a state where I can get a carry permit (NJ), so this will be used at the range and for home defense. I've narrowed down my options to two choices. I can either get the Springfield XD(M) or the H&K USP. Money is somewhat of an issue, but I am willing to go a little beyond my budget and get the USP if it is worth itl. Thanks in advance everyone.
Oh, Is it bad forum etiquitte if I post this to both the H&K and Springfield forums?

Don't the days whizz by, especially if one is out cold in the afternoons? Fielding has lunch, then a bit of a read, one minute he's looking at the ceiling, then suddenly it's five o'clock. Goodbye another day. My days are similar. Wake up, two hours of physically and emotionally gruelling dog walkie across a grey, frozen or drizzling landscape, come home, breakfast, scribble away for a bit, then zzzzz – tea time already. The years pass, the snoozes lengthen, the days shorten.
Two or three in the afternoon seems to be knock-out time. Rosemary calls it her "short rest". We dare not sit or lie down during that period, or it will be zonk out, wake up, groggy recovery period, light fading, another day lost, another chunk of life slipped by. Then poor Fielding is awake all night (because he's been asleep all day), but that's no good to him, because there's nothing much he fancies doing in the small hours, so he just lies there, perky as a meerkat on sentry duty, brain fizzing with panic and regrets. What are they? "I wish I hadn't taught for 30 years. I wish I hadn't got leg pains. I am an insignificant person in a cruel universe. That sort of area," he says.
Now he has a new regret. "I wish I hadn't wasted scores of afternoons, sleeping the tail-end of my life away." But how are we to keep awake? We have books we want to read, novels to write, telly to watch and important tasks to do, but increasingly little time in which to do it all. I find it helps to get up and do something physical. Perhaps Fielding could go to the gym? "I'm not going to exercise like a middle- class woman," he says, from the Stone Age, but perhaps he could put the washing on, vacuum, jump up and down or go to the library, like me. But I can't keep doing all that, because I'm meant to be working, which means sitting down to do this, or even lying down with a book and a fountain pen and . . . zzz . . .

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:05am
Though rumors had crept up during the summer, Loyola made big news again Wednesday by announcing plans to join the Patriot League in the 2013-14 academic year. The move is for all athletic programs, but perhaps men's lacrosse makes the biggest splash by joining a new conference as current national champions. After Boston University joined the league earlier this year, Loyola will become the ninth men's lacrosse program playing under the Patriot League banner.
As news broke this morning, Inside Lacrosse reached out to some current Patriot League coaches about adding Loyola to the ranks. One theme is clear: By adding the national champion to the mix, the already rising Patriot League just got a lot more interesting.
Here's what Navy's Rick Sowell, Army's Joe Alberici and Lehigh's Kevin Cassese had to say:
-On Loyola joining the league:
"I'm certainly excited to hear that Loyola is joining the Patriot League...They join the league that was pretty darn competive last season, and now it just got that much better."
-On Loyola becoming a conference rival as well as a geographic one due to the proximity of Annapolis and Baltimore:
"There's a lot of good lacrosse programs in the Baltimore area, and Loyola and Navy did play a couple of years ago...They'll eventually be back on the schedule. I would expect that they'll be some good games in the future, with the fan base here in the Baltimore area being as strong as it is it will be a fun game."
-On conference realignment and competitive hierarchy going forward:
"It's going to be extremely competitive to make a conference tournament, and I'm not sure if they're going to split the league up into two leagues, or how that's going to work out...Last year it was an extremely competitive league, and you add the national champions, it can't help but kick it up another notch...Adding another quality team like Loyola helps us, helps the quality of our schedule, and so it's something again that we look forward to in the future."
-On Loyola joining the league:
"I know there was some talk about that early in the summer when BU had joined, that Loyola was a possibility....Obviously Loyola, you don't get any better of a program, right? They're the national champions, so them joining our conference I think takes a very, very good conference – one, in my opinion an under rated conference – and highlights it even more. Loyola joining today, a great conference got even better...I really have a lot of respect for Charlie Toomey and his staff, and I like those guys, so I think it's a real welcomed addition to a really good Patriot League already"
-On Patriot League recognition and status, and Loyola's effect on both:
"Obviously a very strong lacrosse area in Maryland continues to give the Patriot League more notoriety down there, joining Navy...I think it gives a lot of notoriety in that hot bed; it ups the profile somewhat. There's some really good lacrosse that's being played here in this league. It's not just last year; it's been going on for quite some time...Obviously, Loyola makes it a little bit steeper hill to climb to be a champion of this league, but they're certainly a welcome addition."
-On the institutional trends that have led to more success nationally for the Patriot League:
"I think you've got very good coaches...I think probably the biggest thing is, you've got an administration that has seen [lacrosse] at their school as an opportunity for national recognition, and have gotten behind their coaches, and gotten behind their program. With Loyola in or out, the Patriot League has drastically changed. With Loyola coming in, I think what it might do is accelerate that pace...When you're competing against that sort of thing, it may make it easier for other programs to come in, within the Patriot League, and say, 'hey, look what their doing here."
With a program like Loyola that has obviously found great success at the national level by winning a title, they come in a fully committed, full scholarship program, and it makes it easier for other Patriot League schools to look at that model and push to emulate it.
-Implications for the Patriot League Tournament or conference realignment:
"I think anything that we're throwing out there is a little bit of guess work. I'm not sure we're big enough for any split in the conference at nine teams....I would be in huge favor of extending the Patriot League Tournament at least to six...Army will be pushing for a larger tournament. I would imagine that the other coaches would be also for greater inclusion. The thing that we would have working for us is that the Patriot League conference understands where the lacrosse programs are on a national scene number one, and the second thing that would be working for us is the fact that there is precedent set in other sports of greater inclusion of the programs that play."
Editor's Note: Basketball is a competitive sport on a national stage in terms of making the NCAA Tournament consistently, and every basketball team makes the conference tournament, so a similar model could exists for lacrosse.
-On the general trend of conference realignment in lacrosse, and how it parallels realignment in other sports like football and basketball:
"What the Patriot League has done in adding BU and now Loyola has really strengthened, not only in terms of numbers, two athletic programs that are very good across the board...What the Patriot League is doing on the smaller scale I think is very similar to what some of these other conferences have done in terms of football and basketball, just strengthened it and made it sturdy for the long term."
-On Loyola joining the league
"I'm excited to have them in the league. It's going to help the league, no doubt about it. The league just got more powerful. We talked a bunch last year about how it was already on the rise. It just makes it that much stronger."
-On how each Patriot team will improve because of Loyola
"It raises the bar. … It raises the bar for everyone, including the newcomers, whether it be BU or Loyola. There's going to be a bar raised on their end for some of the things they'll have to conform for the Patriot Leauge. The bar gets raised on our end from a competitive standpoint.
For the most part, we've been comparing ourselves to each other, and obviously outside the academies — which is a little bit a different there — Lehigh takes a look at Colgate, Bucknell and Lafayette and schools like that. Now, you add Loyola to the mix, and it's a different landscape now than it was yesterday that's for sure."
-On NCAA, Patriot Tournament implications
"Look at the last few years and the Patriot League champion has almost been a given that it's a top 10 team in the country. I think now, it could almost be a given that the Patriot League champion is going to be a top five team. .. It's going to be a powerhouse of a league. The winner of (the PL Tournament) is really going to be in really good position from strength of schedule to RPI to national ranking heading into the NCAA Tournament."
-On Lehigh's increased geographic footprint with Loyola addition
"If we don't play Navy at Navy, we don't go anywhere near (Baltimore or DC). The furthest south we'll go is Philly...Navy is really the only school in our conference near the Baltimore-DC area. It's exciting; it does increase our footprint. It's not out of region area of growth, but it does for the league, get us in a place where we haven't spent a lot of time. I would say the same for BU for getting up into Boston too. We're excited about that."
-Also of note with the conversation with Cassese is he'll get to play against former teammate and co-captain at Duke, Dan Chemotti, a good friend of his. Also, Cassese said he hasn't heard an indication if the league will restructure the playoff or go to any sort of divisional format; it's too early to know what effect that will have. But it will certainly have some sort of scheduling implication, assuming every team in the Patriot League must play each other. That would mean adding weekday games, or pushing the conference schedule up to start earlier in March.

Looking at my thighs to my toes, one might guess I got into a punching battle sometime in the last few days, which would account for the countless blue, purple and black splotches that have overtaken my legs.
I haven't joined a Fight Club, I've just been hiking.
On Saturday, Bob, Kat, Matt and I loaded up our backpacks and set out down a logging road/road to a northern community/road to everyone's secret fishing places. Our goal was to find a geocache stashed somewhere in the vicinity of a downed water bomber plane.
(Anyone who checks out Sco0p or my Facebook profile has likely seen these photos already– sorry!)
We found the plane, after hiking through some seriously treacherous bush. Surprise streams, twigs to the face, and numerous blowdowns made the passage a little more difficult than just following a trail, but we made it!
Unfortunately, I could not find the cache to save my life. The GPS was wildly switching, telling me I was three metres away, then 15 metres away, then one metre away. I gave up, and I think the cache is possibly planted on part of the plane that's underwater, or otherwise hidden in a place that I can't get at thanks to the water being higher than usual.
That, or it's just hidden really well. I think we're going to make a second attempt at it later on in the season.
It's not a real outdoor adventure until someone gets injured, and that honour went to Bob on this hike, who limped his way back to the truck with an entirely messed up big toe.
If you're observant, you may have noticed that the last time Bob was pictured, he had long hair, but the bald dude above is Bob.
We checked out our town's annual Relay for Life, a Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser, on Friday, the day before the hike. It was packed, with pretty much everybody in town walking, auctioning, cooking or otherwise fundraising in some manner.
Bob was one of those fundraisers, offering to shave his head for Cops for Cancer. He went from this…
to this…
… to the tune of over $2000, including $100 a piece for the moustache and beard, making him the highest personal fundraiser for the entire relay. Way to go Bob!
This week, for me, is going to be about getting my body back in order following an extravagant weekend, so stay tuned for that. I also solemnly swear that on my next adventure, I will take the real camera and use it so you have something to look at other than Hipstamatic photos (but I still love my iPhone dearly).

After traveling between the two houses of the California legislature for two months, A.B.3014, a bill that defines the term "Asian massage" to clarify the scope of practice for acupuncturists, has reached the governor's desk and awaits his signature.
In a May 2006 floor alert to the members of the California State Assembly, CAOMA representative Sandra Carey had asked the legislators to oppose the bill, stating, "(w)hat this bill actually does is to legitimize a profession that only has connotations of brothels and massage parlors. ... Additional proof of this can be found if one only 'Googles' the term Asian massage - in nearly all cases, what is revealed is that the use of these two words refers to solicitation of prostitution."1
CAOMA opposition to the language in A.B.3014 was surprising because, last October, CAOMA vigorously supported A.B.1117, which changed all references of "Oriental medicine" within existing statutes to "Asian medicine," a phrase similar to one they opposed in A.B.3014. A sample letter of support for A.B.1117, available on CAOMA's Web site, outlines the organization's rationale for the language change: "The term 'oriental' really means 'eastern,' and has sometimes been used as an insult. The government should not endorse the use of terms that include the word 'oriental.' Please support A.B. 1117."2
Back to A.B.3014: Between the May 2006 floor alert and the vote on the bill, CAOMA sent two other letters of opposition to the legislature. One letter, dated Aug. 13, 2006, stated that the bill would "do significant damage to acupuncture."3 The letter reiterated CAOMA's contention that the term "Asian massage" was inherently related to prostitution. The letter went on to accuse the bill of altering the function of Section 4937 of the California Business and Professions Code, which reads, "An acupuncturist's license authorizes the holder thereof ... to perform or prescribe the use of Asian massage." Carey argued against facts clearly stated in this statute: "[t]his bill would not require that the target practitioners be lawfully licensed. This bill would give credibility to anyone who practices the subject procedure and thereby opens the door for any pretender to be recognized and to practice some fashion of massage under the aegis of Acupuncture/Oriental Medicine."
Days before the final vote on A.B.3014, CAOMA sent a last-minute floor alert, once again opposing the bill. "We oppose this bill because it harms the medicine and is potentially injurious to the patient." The letter reiterated that the bill would "dilute and degrade the medicine by association" and "not require that the target practitioners be lawfully licensed."4 It also stated that "[t]he California Acupuncture Board does not support this measure." After talking with Acupuncture Board Executive Director, Janelle Wedge, it was clear the Board's position was misrepresented. "At the Acupuncture Board's May 23, 2006 meeting, they took a support position if A.B. 3014 was amended with certain language. The bill was not amended with the identified language. However, at their meeting on August 25, 2006, the California Acupuncture Board voted to support A.B. 3014 as amended on August 21, 2006."5
However, one day later, on Aug. 22, CAOMA representative Carey sent a letter directly to Assembly member Koretz, stating that CAOMA was "pleased to remove their opposition to A.B. 3014."6 Carey went on to say, "CAOMA is gratified that recent negotiations have moved this bill in a more favorable direction and which have, at least in part, responded to an element of our concern. Though we remain guarded about certain yet-to-be resolved details, we are confident of the assurance that these issues will be addressed both in the Letter of Intent to the Journal clarifying any existing ambiguity with the use of the term 'Asian Massage,' and during the regulatory process."
A.B.3014, which was passed on a 46-32 final vote in the Assembly, will now wait for the governor's approval. If the bill is not signed or the governor refrains from vetoing it within the next 30 days, it will automatically become law.

Obviously Kathleen Sebelius couldn't extort enough money from employers, the law is imploding, so Obama decides it needs to be postponed until after the mid-term elections. But his excuse is that the companies have been complaining. Hell, they have been complaining every since the day the DEMOCRATS passed the bill.
The Obama administration announced Tuesday that it is delaying a major provision in the health care overhaul, putting off until 2015 a requirement that many employers offer health insurance.
The announcement was made late Tuesday by the Treasury Department, at the beginning of the holiday week while Congress was on recess. It comes amid reports that the administration is running into roadblocks as it prepares to implement ObamaCare.
The change in the employer mandate is arguably the most significant concession the administration has made to date.
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., a critic of the law, seized on the delay as a "clear admission" that the law is "unaffordable, unworkable and unpopular."
"It's also a cynical political ploy to delay the coming train wreck associated with ObamaCare until after the 2014 elections," he said.
Statements in response to ObamaCare implementation delay
It's not surprising that Harry Reid still defends the law and is now worried about "getting it right" rather than "doing it fast". What a crock.

It's that piece you can't live without. That special pedicure chair that fits the contours of your back so perfectly well, or that communal nail bar where clients circle for quick chats, or even that snazzy retail shelf bringing in extra dollars every month. It's the item that makes the greatest impact on your day, and here's why you're thankful for it.
Zero Gravity Chair
Holly Savage
Simple Pleasures Day Spa, Quispamsis, N.B., Canada
"My clients and I love this chair because it raises their feet to a nice height and saves my back a lot of stress. The chair puts the body into a weightless position, elevating the legs above the heart and relieving weight from the spine and hip area."
How long have you had this piece of furniture? 1½ years
How much did it cost? $2,800 CDN, amortized over 10 years, so $280 per year, at $23 per month
Why did you feel you needed to purchase this item? When I was establishing my business I decided to purchase a chair, and I wanted a chair that was functional as well as stylish and not a typical spa/salon furnishing. I offer a wide range of services with pedicures making up about 45% of my overall business. I decided to purchase the Zero Gravity Chair from Human Touch because it offers a comfortable experience for my clients. It benefits me as well because I can move the chair back into any elevation, which saves me from having to bend into awkward positions.
Nail Table
Susie Turk
Hollywood Nails, Midvale, Utah
"My favorite furniture piece is my nail table,
which I bought at Ikea along with two
clamp-on swinging adjustable lamps."
How long have you had it? 2 years
How much did it cost and where did you get it? $21 from Ikea
Why did you feel you needed to purchase this item? I modeled everything after my school nail table and work space. It's what I was most comfortable with after having just graduated nail school, and now two years later I still love it. You buy the table in five pieces, the top, and four legs with hardware. You screw the legs in and voila, you're done. It's really big and for just $21 it was a great deal. >>>

Smoke on walls in kitchen
Have a rental property that i need to paint. In the kitchen on some of the walls and a small part of the ceiling there is what appears to be smoke on the already painted semi gloss paint. The tenants tried to wipe it down with out much success. Do I need to do anything special before painting the walls?? Thanks
I would sand the walls to scuff them, then i would wipe all dust off wall, and then i would apply a primer, such as bin or kilz or gripper, or gardz, then i would topcoat. I would also get your primer of choice tinted to the color of the top coat.
More than likely, it's grease and or smoke. Even if you prime with a solvent base, it needs to be cleaned with something like tsp. If it's an enclosed or galley kitchen, with a little filter over the stove that blows back into the apartment, there's definately a film of grease. Sanding will probably gum up the paper.
Could be wrong, if it's only smoke, it should also be washed. If the tenants used soap, it won't look any better but will be ready to sand and prime. Grease will gum up the sand paper.
And, believe it or not, a thick coat of smoke or grease will produce odor right through the paint, if not cleaned properly.
Joe is absolutly correct. It was my over sight not to mention to clean the walls before sanding, which is what i should of said.
But it should be cleaned (as well as possible), and sealed
The sealer would depend on what it is and how bad
It is more than likely going to need (at least) an oil-based primer/sealer
It is possible it may need the Big Guns, a shellac-based sealer
Frankly, as a rental, I would go straight for the Big Guns and use Zinssers BIN over the area
As rental, the stain could really be anything
Best to BIN it and no worries
Bay Area Painting Contractor
Thanks all for your responses. I got a chance to take a better look at it and it is definitely soot i think from candles,they were big candle people. Came off on my fingers and wasn't greasy.

Tuck's show/health and performance stats
This is a timeline forensics of why knowlege if family lines, and testing is critical. deep family history knowlege all contributed in saving a life.
A genetic condition that could have been passed along was stopped because of routine ultrasound screenings on apparently healthy dogs.
Here is a timeline to demonstrate an actual dog (MINE) of how health testing works, the importance, how open communication health networking of other breeders and owners makes a critical difference.
Dec 28 2005 Tuck Born
2010- Completed health Testing
2005 SEARCH and RESCUE Certified, TD, CD, TDX titles
2008 Champion (Also winning 5 breed specialties)
CHIC OFA-Elbows OFA-Cardiac OFA-HIPS OFA-THYROID OFA-PAtellas OFA-Kidneys OFA-PRA CERF
2010 Becomes father
2011 Tuck's mother died of splenic cancer at age 7, then siblings follow suit
Tucks father died of Spleenic cancer at age 14 1/2 (Tuck was frozen semen and father died in 2004)
2012 Tuck's puppy diagnosed with renal agenesis by ultrasound and dye studies
Discovery discloses this is a hereditary incomplete dominant gene. Further study with familial history points out the patterns associated with the renal agenesis gene has been there the entire time unrecognized, starting with Tuck's mother, imported from Norway, who had problems carrying litters to term, with absorbed puppies, mummy puppies, detached placentas, undeveloped puppies, and puppies that died within 1 day of birth,
Malnouriashed uterine horns,
When Tuck was bred, the bitch had a previous history of normal litters. When bred to Tuck, the history of dying puppies at or shortly after birth continued.(2010) Necropsies were not done. In retrospect, upon discovery of the renal agenesis in Bob, and looking back on the familial history, everything came together in 2012. The only thing missing was the necropsy on thse dead puppies, which would have confirmed bilateral renal agenesis.
Several generations were born of puppies dying at birth. There had been no earlier familial history of this until Tuck was born, and it's suspected this gene was imported with Tuck's mother. Making Tuck a carrier. When he became a father again, the puppies dying at birth, PLUS BOB's discovery that he had renal agenesis pinpointed Tuck as the Renal agenesis carrier. Almost assuredly through his mother (Already dead by the time of discovery) Tuck has two normal kidneys and cleanly passes the OFA kidney test) -- So does Bob, who has one kidney. OFA Screening does not catch this condition
Dec 2012 A routine screening shows a small node
The Shepherd relationship is through the Shepherds of Thuringia that were part of the foundation stock in Every German Shepherd. You will never hear of Elkhounds in German shepherd makeup, and German Shepherd Breeders will deny it. But the Elkhound influence is a large part of the makeup of the Shepherds of Thuringia, which is documented, and will then give you credibility when you make a claim to German Shepherd breeders that they ARE related. One of the founding breeders who was using the shepherds of thuringia, also happened to breed Elkhounds! Coincidence? I think not! Some of the problems with the Thuringia dogs is, that damned curly tail, that still crops up from time to time in the breed and gives GSD breeders fits. Another thing they didn't like about the Thuringia dogs was that they tended not to have as high a drive and strong of a work ethic. (wonder where that came from!) and tended to be far more independent minded (hmmmmmm) And these undesireable characteristics were usually associated with the curly tail, which is why the GSD breeders wanted to breed out the curly tail. The dogs with the curly tails also may have carried stronger elkhound traits that the GSD breeders wished to do without. Hence they picked on the tail :) What was bad news in the GSD was GREAT news in my life. My elkhounds are working dogs., They work for a living. They have to work to get breakfast. They have very strong drive, but when I ask them to stop working they dont have that insane quirky nervous nature. They lie down and go to sleep. To me.. there could be no better dog. They are just right. But I laugh when I look at the traits in the GSD that dismayed early GSD breeders, and definitely see those traits in the elkhound that they tried to breed out. Never the less.. GSD breeders can't deny the Elkhound influence. Elkhounds also have a strong natural herding tendency. (Something desired in the GSD) so I guess the Shepherd has some of both. The Shepherds of Thuringia were well know to be GOOD working dogs if trained and socialized very early. (This is true of the Elkhound as well. They generally tend to be very independent, stubborn at times, and to harness their working capabilities as a working dog.. early socialization and channeling is very important if you want a serious working dog relationship with an elkhound)
I was at a tack sale with our Mounted Search and Rescue group. Bob and Tuck were sitting on one of the tables being available to pet. Some man came up and said. AN ELKHOuND!!! I smiled that he knew what they were. And he said.. They are the BEST DOGS.. I said he was an Army military k9 handler in Vietnam. and I listened to hear what he had to say. I asked him to sit down, and he did. Tuck and Bob both fawned all over him, and the feeling was mutual. He sat down to an afternoon of sharing a remarkable story.
I have to share it with you.
He went on about three dogs that he handled during his tour of Vietnam. He told me that War dogs were not brought home from there.. They killed them when their tour was up. This disturbed me. Two of the dogs he handled were German Shepherds, and the other was an Elkhound, named Freya. I recalled someone else recently making a reference to Elkhounds being used in Vietnam as tunnel dogs. Having the experience with heat and Elkhounds that I have had.. I really have questions about how dogs hold up in tropical heat and working.
I asked him how his Elkhound did in the heat. He said.. not too bad. And as a working dog handler, I knew we could speak the same language.
He said his dog was a mine sniffing dog. When we discussed working as mine sniffing as compared to tracking, he said Tracking dogs don't/CAN'T pant while working trail, thus they have no way of cooling themselves. (Yes, I knew this) but mine sniffing dogs work intermittently, sampling sniffs. Mine sniffers, work a little, and pant a lot. Which is why explosives dogs are able to work in intense heat. I've always wondered. Now I know.
He went on to tell about his Elkhound, and his Elkhound was the best dog he ever worked with. He said the Elkhound would not work on lead. Off lead, she was just the best, most reliable dog of any he had handled during his tour of duty in Vietnam.
But, as soon as he snapped a leash on her collar.. she was done. (my experience with Elkhounds too, and probably the thing I like best about working with them. When you flip the switch and ask for work... they work themselves into the ground. and just don't quit. until you flip the switch off.. and they turn off completely and vanish within inches, and you don't even know they are in the house, even though they may be surrounding you everywhere on the floor.
He said, he would work 2 weeks in the field, and then rotate back to camp for 3 weeks. He had 11 days left before coming home, and was really worried about the fate of his dog, knowing they never sent Vietnam war dogs home.
He finished work for that day, and a Boat came down the river after him and two other reconnaissance men working with his team. He was done for the day. He snapped the leash on his dog, and they all walked to the boat picking them up.
And then it happened. They had not cleared the area to the bank between them and the boat. The dog was no longer working, and failed to detect a problem.
The second man in line stepped on a land mine. Two men, the elkhound were killed, and the man who was speaking to me, had lost his leg in a land mine explosion.
He pulled out a picture and showed me his dog, WITHOUT QUESTION... it WAS an ELKHOUND!! I asked him to please scan this picture and email it to me. I'd like to share it with my Elkhound friends. I felt it was a valuable piece of breed history. I only had a piece of scrap paper, and scribbled my name, email address, and snail mail address and handed it over to him. with him in uniform.
I'm so excited. I have had so much troubles with tracking elkhounds in heat, I never could wrap my mind around working an elkhound as a scenting dog in the tropics.
Until he explained to me the difference of scenting style of the mine sniffing dogs as compared to the trailing dog. He reassured me that the Elkhound as a tracking dog in the tropics probably wouldn't work. He said the Elkhound was not a common breed, but his elkhound was not the only elkhound used in the war effort.
He enjoyed working with the elkhound, because they had keen noses, worked until they were told to stop. Were very conscientious and accurate (I've always said the same thing. just differently phrased.. it's the incorruptible character thing)
When an Elkhound stopped.. it stopped. A great thing for me, easy to live with.. but a very fatal flaw for two men and the dog that day.
He said the Elkhound worked hard, was easier to carry out than a 100 pound Shepherd. It took far less to feed in a war, where they carried everything on their backs for the two weeks they were out. The food efficiency of the elkhound was phenomenal, when it was the handler who had to carry all supplies for two week outings.
They did not take as much room. They turned off, and weren't constantly whining, like a shepherd often did. The TURN OFF factor was far less likely to tip their position off in proximity to the enemy.
He said his elkhound went boldly and confidently everywhere. But she was always very careful how she placed her feet. Where the German Shepherds and Labs were almost clumsy with their feet in an oafish kind of manner.
I never gave these qualities a thought, but they did make sense. It also corroborated the report a few weeks ago of someone else claiming to have an Elkhound as a tunnel dog in Vietnam.
I never thought of Elkhounds as being war dogs, beyond sled dogs of historic fame, but not ever in modern war area circumstances, and certainly NOT in the tropics.
I just had to share.
I keep checking my mail, hoping he scans that picture.. and no, it's not here yet, or I would have attached it.
I had a great afternoon listening to War stories of a Vietnam Vet. I bet he never had such a rapt and intense listener. I thanked him for sharing.

Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .
Very impressed with work - finally I got someone who was able to diagnose & fix long-standing problem with overflow. Would definitely recommend!!
