Who wouldn't be captivated with this iPod mania that will allow you to carry a huge music library anywhere you go? iPod, the most popular gadget now has dominated music lovers all over the world. It is cool to have an iPod and knowing where to get the best music downloads for iPod will be a good advantage for iPod users.
Where to get music downloads for iPod? There are two places where you could get music downloads for iPod, one is through legal download websites and another from illegal download websites. If you don't want to get into trouble with RIAA then you know what to do.
There are websites, blogs and file sharing services offering free music downloads for iPod, but you have to face the consequences in terms of legality issues. RIAA does not only file lawsuits on big companies but also to individuals caught downloading copyrighted files or music illegally. Another consequence that you have to deal with free music downloads for iPod is that you are exposing your computer to viruses that could harm your computer performance. Websites with free downloads usually have pop-up ads which are not only annoying but could be a real threat to your computer security. Pop-up ads can install spyware to your computer tracking your online activities and capture your personal information like credit cards. It can also slow down your computer performance occupying disk space and memory that can be really harmful to your computer in the long run.
Online music stores. You can get music downloads for iPod from online music stores run by legitimate companies like iTunes, Wal-Mart Music, AOL Music and Yahoo Music. These are not free music downloads for iPod websites, they offer per download fees. Downloads are all legal with payment for every song or album that you want to download. The fee for every song is very affordable but if you want to download more songs it could be a little expensive.
Paid membership on music downloads for iPod. There are also legitimate websites offering 100% legal music downloads for iPod like FeedMyiPods.com. It is a paid membership, a one time payment for the membership and you will have a lifetime unlimited access to more than 95 million files. Files include music, videos, TV shows, games and other iPod downloadable materials. After the payment for the membership, all downloads are free, legal and no per download fees or recurring charges.

Joe Bernard stopped and paused after hearing the question. What was the biggest difference between his Stroudsburg football team, the defending champions in the Mountain Valley Conference, and Pleasant Valley?
Joe Bernard stopped and paused after hearing the question.
What was the biggest difference between his Stroudsburg football team, the defending champions in the Mountain Valley Conference, and Pleasant Valley?
Bernard, the Mounties' second-year coach, rattled off a list of similarities from offense to defense to special teams. That's how close the Mounties (8-1, 7-0 MVC) and Bears (7-2, 7-0) are when it comes to talent.
"At the end of the day, we're the two best teams in the league," Bernard said.
Stroudsburg hosts PV tonight, kickoff is at 7 p.m., in a game that will decide the MVC championship on the last weekend of the regular season. It's the only game in town tonight because the East Stroudsburg South-ES North and Pocono Mountain East-PM West games were postponed to Monday because of Superstorm Sandy, which devastated the Poconos earlier this week.
Stroudsburg and Pleasant Valley did not go to school all the week because of the storm, which caused more than 90,000 households in the Poconos to lose power at some point, many for more than a few days.
Bernard will be countered on the sidelines by Pleasant Valley coach Jim Terwilliger, a football mind the Stroudsburg coach has plenty of respect for.
Terwilliger has his team in position to claim its first outright MVC ever, after sharing titles in 2002, '04 and '10. PV's offense, led by quarterback Brandon Leap (1,586 yards, 19 TDs, 10 INTs), receivers Andrew Romeo (26 catches, 554 yards, 10 TDs) and Sekou Jones (24-437, 3 TDs) and running back Austyn Borre (1,171 yards, 13 TDs), have kept defenses busy.
The Bears use multiple formations, attempting to confuse opposing defenses.
"You've got to make sure you've got numbers and people and situations under control," Bernard said. "He does a good job of trying to move guys around, starting people in one place and putting them in motion. It makes you, from a defensive standpoint, be aware of where guys are at."
Pleasant Valley's defense must be aware of where Stroudsburg running back Altarique Mosley lines up. The senior has rushed for an area-best 1,483 yards and 15 touchdowns.
"He's everything we thought he'd be," Bernard said. "He's explosive. He's our No. 1 tailback coming in and he's done a great job."
"He is the guy," Terwilliger said. "He's something. Defenses couldn't keep him from getting his yards."
Donovan McDonald has been the Mounties' top receiver, making 33 catches for 560 yards and six touchdowns. Sophomore quarterback Mike Nikorak (845 yards, 9 TDs, 1 INT) has done a good job taking care of the football.
"If you look at our stats total, the one thing we preach is not turning the ball over and we don't," Bernard said.
Defensively, both teams have their leaders. Stroudsburg's defensive linemen Sebastian Joseph and Blaine Woodson are the leaders of the front four, while PV's middle linebacker, Dakota Everett, is having a banner season.
One of Everett's best skills is blitzing and breaking up plays in the backfield.
"You can't let him get a rhythm on the cadence," Bernard said.
As for Stroudsburg, the Mounties blitz very little, hoping the front four — Joseph, Woodson, Kenny Tucker and Cody Cooper — get to Leap.
"We have a certain philosophy that we abide by," Bernard said, "and we'll stick with that."
Stopping the Mounties' front four, especially Joseph, won't be easy.
"If you leave him one on one, then you're asking for some problems," Terwilliger said.
The pick — Both teams have been on the ropes in conference play and found ways to recover. Who makes the big play in the fourth quarter tonight? Stroudsburg plays just two players both ways and that may be a factor. Mounties, 21-19.
Note: The ES South-ES North and PM West-PM East games scheduled for tonight have been postponed until Monday.

CINCINNATI—The E.W. Scripps Co. returned to profitability in the third quarter, thanks to sharply higher political advertising revenue and contributions from TV stations it bought in 2011.
The newspaper publisher and TV station owner earned $12 million, or 21 cents per share, in the July-September quarter. In the same period last year, it lost $10.7 million, or 19 cents per share.
Revenue rose 31 percent to $219.6 million from $167.9 million a year ago, the company said Friday.
Analysts, on average, forecast earnings of 11 cents per share on revenue of $212.6 million, according to a poll by FactSet.
Scripps owns newspapers such as the Ventura County Star in California and The Commercial Appeal of Memphis, Tenn. Its stations include WCPO in Cincinnati and WPTV in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The quarter's results include revenue from TV stations in Indianapolis, Denver, San Diego and Bakersfield, Calif., that the company acquired on Dec. 30, 2011. Without the new stations, revenue would have grown 15 percent, to $193 million. Revenue from political TV ads grew to $33.9 million from $2 million a year earlier.
The company's shares rose 90 cents, or 8.9 percent, to $11.07 in morning trading. The stock has traded in a 52-week range of $7.52 and $11.46.

Motions are one of the most important aspects of a criminal case before getting to trial. Kirk Tarman, criminal defense attorney in San Bernardino County CA, discusses suppression motions based upon the 4th Amendment, dismissal motions, discovery motions, and more... for a glimpse into the preparation of a criminal case. ….
Andrew Dosa, a civil and criminal defense attorney located in Alameda County CA, when interviewed by Crime and Justice Online, explains everything you need to know about restitution in criminal cases. What is restitution? Is it to punish the guilty or help the victim? Is it always paid? What happens if it is not paid? Are all criminal charges associated with restitution? Can you use restitution to bargain away a jail sentence? Is it applied more in civil or criminal cases? These questions and more are answered by our expert on restitution, Andrew Dosa….
Here is an entertaining and informative interview with Wally Farrell, a premier criminal defense attorney in Riverside County, now deceased, who discussed the Death Penalty in California with Crime, Justice & America Talk Show Host Ray Hrdlicka. Is it really a deterrent? Why represent defendants charged with this type of crime? What is "special circumstances" in the crime? Life without parole vs. the Death Penalty. Why does this type of case last so long? Is it a choice between Justice or a Political and Financial cost? Does it demean life? Or does it demean the death of victims?

Firefighters in south suburban Hickory Hills were called to a large fire at the Camelot banquet hall early this morning.
The early morning fire and smoke could be seen from miles away, as the building on 95th St burned around 4:30 a.m. Fire crews worked to contain and knock out the flames of this family owned, family run business.
Irene Jordan, whose family owns the business, say she a Hickory Hills police officer, Ryan Bajt, thought someone might be inside and went into action.
"He knew they stay here a lot on times on Saturday night. And the owners were up in the office sleeping and he alerted them and got them out," said Walter Sherman, battalion chief Roberts Park Fire Dist.
"We had a lot of parties yesterday and we stay late to set up for the morning parties today," said Jordan. "My sisters usually stay here just to be here in the morning. Thank God someone called."
No one was killed or injured but the fire, which they believe began in the kitchen area, gutted the entire building.
As the family works to rebuild and rebook their clients into other venues for now, the fact nobody was hurt is the one blessing this Mother's Day.
"You feel for the owners and the workers," said Sherman. "It's their livelihood. They have a good business and they're going to be out of business for quite some time."

If you've been reading almost any cycling site recently, or following the conversation through social media, you've probably heard about the ongoing transportation bill debate in Washington, D.C. The multi-year U.S. transportation bill has been moving along rapidly in Congress, and there are many in Congress who wish to remove any dedicated federal-level funding for bike and pedestrian focused projects. We wanted to learn more about this issue, just like you, so we asked our friends with the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, who know the ins and outs of this transportation bill, to to be our guest here on the Performance Bicycle Blog today. Jake Lynch, Rails-to-Trails' Communications Manager, wrote this post about what the proposed changes to the transportation bill could mean, why this funding is important, and what you can do if you'd like to help influence the debate.
Right now, both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives are attempting to pass their own versions of our nation's next multiyear surface transportation bill. These bills will dictate America's direction for many years, and not only in terms of our transportation infrastructure; they will have far-reaching impacts on the nation's health, environment and economic vitality.
The bad news for everyone who believes our government should help provide safe and convenient places to ride a bike or walk is that both the House and Senate bills would harm programs that fund trails, bike and pedestrian infrastructure, and even transit. Transportation Enhancements (TE), the top source of funding for trails and bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, would effectively be eliminated. TE is the lifeblood for active transportation projects in communities of every size all across the country (Ed. we've included photos from a few projects below).
There is strong evidence that trails and bicycling and pedestrian projects are cost-efficient job creators, crucial to our nation's public health goals, and keys to America becoming more environmentally and economically sustainable. Unsurprisingly, the bill was unpopular across the spectrum and provoked a backlash from constituents and transportation advocates like you. The good news is that your voice has been heard, as a vote on the proposed House bill (H.R. 7) has been delayed until at least the end of this month, an indication that there are not enough votes to pass this bill in its current form.
But there is still work to be done. The Senate bill, as it was passed out of the Environment and Public Works Committee, would also be bad news for bicycling and walking projects – but it is not beyond repair. We are seeking passage of two bipartisan amendments that would restore the integrity of the programs that provide dedicated funding for bicycling and walking, including TE, Safe Routes to School and the Recreational Trails Program. Senators Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) have introduced an amendment (#1549) that would ensure communities a fair shot at dedicating funding for trails, walking and bicycling. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Jim Risch (R-Idaho) have filed another amendment (S. Amdt. 1661) that would restore the Recreational Trails Program. By mitigating some of the oversights of the Senate bill through appropriate amendments, we can help the Senate craft a positive alternative to the House bill.
We here at Rails-to-Trails, along with many other cycling and walking advocacy organizations, are urging all our friends to support these two amendments to the Senate bill. As passionate riders and bicycle advocates, you can help by spreading this message, and by taking just a few moments to complete this automated email form that lets your senators know that trails, walking and biking are important to you.
We understand that often it is hard to get motivated by a legislative process that can seem distant and unproductive. But if a transportation bill becomes law with the current provisions of either of these bills, we will all suffer as our roadways become less safe, obesity continues to climb, and we fail to maximize our communities' economic development and job creation potential. Please, join this effort to keep America's transportation network moving forward. You can keep up to date with the latest legislative news by signing up for RTC Online, or on the Rails-to-Trails Trail Blog.

One of the problems I see with a RC being an altar server is that they would be behind the Iconostasis, which is reserved for Orthodox men only (ideally, only deacons and priests, and bishops would be back there, but most parishes need altar servers. Or at least this is how I understand it).
I'm not an idiot. You don't have to attend a parish to know this.
You've been awefully snarky lately - ever consider giving him the benefit of the doubt that he has actually TALKED to other Orthodox?

Their three children planned their family vacations so they could host the celebration for their parents' golden anniversary. Dr. Skinner has been a family physician for 36 years, practicing medicine in California, Arizona, Illinois and in Washington twice during his career. Mrs. Skinner was a stay-at-home mom throughout most of their marriage, and later worked as his office manager for 16 years of his medical career. She was also the Our Saviour's Evangelical Lutheran Church secretary for 16 years. She has been the Lower Valley Community Concert Association headquarters director and director of operations for 20 years. The couple has been community concert members for 50 years, wherever they have lived. They also enjoy traveling. In addition to their three children, Sam, Catherine and Bob, the couple has five grandsons, Christopher, Alexander, Zackary, Andrew and Nathan Skinner, and two granddaughters, Erika Suzanne and Aspen Gordon.

I've heard about both, however I've never been able to distinguish how they are distinct, Mythbuntu as I see it is used as a Desktop environment, whereas MythTV seems to be installed on a TV itself with an equivalent App on the Mythbuntu desktop. I may be entirely wrong in making this assumption though.
I've also heard of Mythbuntu being used as a "frontend " with MythTV as a "backend " if someone could clarify this concept I'd be quite grateful as for me I thought MythTV also qualified as a "frontend".
In short:
- How are Mythbuntu and MythTV related and what are their major differences?
- What are the definitions of a frontend and backend in the case of Mythbuntu and MythTV?
- Is Mythbuntu required for MythTV to work?
I've already read the following questions but I've got very basic knowledge on this issue and none really explain things in an Average Joe-esque way for users with little knowledge on the subject.

So this is the first "This Week in the Universe" post for the PLoG which means that it is a slightly longer "week" than normal (I lost some days in the switch). This series aims to look at the papers and results that are being discussed by researchers in astrophysics, gravitation, cosmology, high energy and particle physics, general relativity and quantum gravity.
Astrophysics and Gravitation:
Galactic Socialism?
Lisa J. Kewley, David Rupke, H. Jabran Zahid, Margaret J. Geller, & Elizabeth J. Barton (2010). Metallicity Gradients and Gas Flows in Galaxy Pairs arXiv DOI: 1008.2204
Astrophysicists had suspected that galaxies must have some mechanism for mixing metal-poor gas from their outskirts with metal-rich gas in their centres to explain the amount of star formation that seemed to occurs. Now, a team at the University of Hawaii, Honolulu, has observed this process in eight spiral galaxies that have a close "neighbour" galaxy. It appears that interacting galaxies have an easier time of sharing the heavy metals around than galaxies that are alone.
From the authors:
These observations provide the first solid evidence that metallicity gradients in interacting galaxies are systematically different from metallicity gradients in isolated spiral galaxies. Our results suggest that there is a strong relationship between metallicity gradients and the gas dynamics in galaxy interactions and mergers.
Why it occurs, is still unknown, but it is interesting.

Cooking with Supermassive Black Holes
Mayer L, Kazantzidis S, Escala A, & Callegari S (2010). Direct formation of supermassive black holes via multi-scale gas inflows in galaxy mergers. Nature, 466 (7310), 1082-4 PMID: 20740009
From the abstract:
[W]e report simulations showing that mergers between massive protogalaxies naturally produce the conditions for direct collapse into a supermassive black hole with no need to suppress cooling and star formation. Merger-driven gas inflows give rise to an unstable, massive nuclear gas disk of a few billion solar masses, which funnels more than 108 solar masses of gas to a sub-parsec-scale gas cloud in only 100,000 years. The cloud undergoes gravitational collapse, which eventually leads to the formation of a massive black hole.
If observations of super massive black holes at the centres of very old galaxies are correct, it would imply that they are able to form faster than current theory allows. The authors of this paper have preformed a simulation, under different initial conditions than previously considered, that does in fact predict supermassive black hole formation directly from the collapse of dense gas clouds. While this fits with observation (sort of), it is somewhat unexpected as it hadn't previously been thought that gas clouds could be dense/massive enough to lead to a supermassive black hole.

Probing Dark Matter with Black Holes?
Mikhail Gorchtein, Stefano Profumo, & Lorenzo Ubaldi (2010). Probing Dark Matter with AGN Jets arXiv arXiv: 1008.2230v1
From the abstract:
We study the possibility of detecting a signature of particle dark matter in the spectrum of gamma-ray photons from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) resulting from the scattering of high-energy particles in the AGN jet off of dark matter particles.
In summary, if dark matter exists as a certain type of particle and if we become able to observe and predict active galactic nuclei (really, the particle jets from supermassive black holes) accurately, we might be able to infer the existence of said dark matter particles from the behaviour of the black hole particle jets.

High Energy Physics and Particles:
A Changing Fine-Structure Constant?
J. K. Webb, J. A. King, M. T. Murphy, V. V. Flambaum, R. F. Carswell, & M. B. Bainbridge (2010). Evidence for spatial variation of the fine structure constant arXiv arXiv: 1008.3907v1
From the abstract:
We previously reported observations of quasar spectra from the Keck telescope suggesting a smaller value of the fine structure constant, alpha, at high redshift. A new sample of 153 measurements from the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT), probing a different direction in the universe, also depends on redshift, but in the opposite sense, that is, alpha appears on average to be larger in the past.
This is really the hot topic for the week (and the previous week): further observations of a changing fine-structure constant (α)! I probably should have included it with "astrophysics", but its implications for high energy physics are too important to ignore, as it characterizes the strength of electromagnetic interactions. Over the past decade, there has been a body of work building up arguing for and against, both observational and theoretical, suggestions that the fine-structure constant is not really constant.
The fine-structure constant helps to quantify how tightly electrons can hold on to atoms, so if it had been different earlier in the life of our universe, we should be able to see it in the frequencies that atoms were emitting/absorbing light. In 1999, Webb and the Keck Telescope team in Hawaii noted the first observation that α might not be so constant. Since then, many contradictory results have appeared. The latest results from Keck are quite the puzzle though. While previous observations have suggested α may change temporally, Webb's latest observations suggest that it also has a spatial variation – ie. looking back in time in one direction sees a smaller fine-structure constant and looking back in time in the opposite direction sees a larger fine-structure constant. This is just baffling. While there currently isn't any evidence to suggest some systematic error leading to these results, there is also no good theoretical reason to explain them either.
It is possible that we just happen to be in this happy minima in our universe where the fine-structure constant works just perfect for EM-interactions leading to matter and life… but it's also possible that this is just all wrong.

What is the Strength of Gravity?
Harold V. Parks, & James E. Faller (2010). A Simple Pendulum Determination of the Gravitational Constant Phys. Rev. Let arXiv: 1008.3203v2
Getting a lot of discussion this week is the latest "G" measurement from Parks and Faller. They measured the gravitational constant to be 6.67234 × 10−11 m3 kg−1 s−2, with an uncertainty of 21 p.p.m., which happens to be 10 standard deviations lower than the last good measurement in 2000 by Jens Gundlach and Stephen Merkowitz who obtained G = 6.674215 × 10−11 m3 kg−1 s−2, with an uncertainty of 14 p.p.m.. How on earth can this happen? No one believes that G is changing, but why can't we get a consistent measurement? This is a serious and strange question, and one that I don't have a good answer to.

String Theory, Experimentally Testable Today?
L. Borsten, D. Dahanayake, M. J. Duff, A. Marrani, & W. Rubens (2010). Four-qubit entanglement from string theory Physical Review Letters arXiv: 1005.4915v2
The abstract, short and sweet:
We invoke the black hole/qubit correspondence to derive the classification of four-qubit entanglement. The U-duality orbits resulting from timelike reduction of string theory from D=4 to D=3 yield 31 entanglement families, which reduce to nine up to permutation of the four qubits.
Basically, the authors are able to make some new predictions about four-qubit entangled systems using black hole/qubit correspondence (via string theory), that can be experimentally tested. From author Mike Duff:
If experiments prove that our predictions about quantum entanglement are correct, this will demonstrate that string theory 'works' to predict the behaviour of entangled quantum systems.
This isn't a "if our predictions are correct about entanglement, string theory is correct" statement, this is a "if our predictions are correct about entanglement, black hole/qubit correspondence from string theory is useful" statement.

How would you like to come down
sample the tasty wares?
How's that cookie crumble? How, now, does that pastry
Never was a three-ring thing-a-ma-jig
like the Vida Vegan Con.
I wouldn't harm a hair on the chinny-chin-chin of a pig…
If they paid me loads, if they got me high,
if they said the Pope was my alibi.
Think of what the beasts are apparently worth
when they say the meek shall inherit the earth.

Mayor Don Wesely announced today that the 84th Street water and traffic improvement project has finished a week ahead of schedule, and 84th Street will re-open today at 1 p.m. The project, which began in June 2001, widened 84th from four to five lanes between Pinedale Avenue and Northwoods Drive. It also included the installation of a new 48-inch water main to convey water from the Vine Street reservoir to a new reservoir at Yankee Hill Road.
"This project gave us the opportunity to expand our water system and increase traffic safety," Mayor Wesely said. "By coordinating these two projects, we did not have to close this major arterial twice. I want to thank the citizens for their patience during this major project. I also want to thank those involved in the project for their hard work."
The project also includes the addition of dual left turn lanes on 84th Street at the "A" Street and "O" Street intersections and the installation of a traffic signal at 84th and Vine Streets. Vine Street is scheduled to remain closed from 84th Street to Sierra Drive until the end of September.
The Schemmer Associates designed and administered the construction, and the contractor was S.P. Olson Enterprises.

… I notice I don't fit in the Natural Childbirth Community (NBC) anymore. This is probably a "duh" moment for many folks, but it wasn't until I was invited into a Natural Birth Professionals group in Facebook that I really caught up that I just don't belong anymore.
I cannot support the unrealistic and non-evidence-based beliefs of so many of these women. I stuck it out for a couple of days thinking a dissenting opinion could be a good one, but it was obvious peer pressure was the unspoken rule of the road.
When the topic of the Brewer Diet came up and I said it was pure bunk and could actually cause harm to the kidneys in susceptible women (which I have seen happen first-hand), several women defended it saying so-and-so had preeclampsia in one (or more) pregnancies and then followed the Brewer Diet and miraculously didn't have preeclampsia in that pregnancy. Another woman said some woman was an "expert" on the Brewer Diet and she was on their faculty. Surprised, I looked to see what college she was the faculty of and it was a non-NARM-accredited "midwifery school." Can you see me rolling my eyes? I've been asked to discuss the Brewer Diet here on several occasions and am sure I'm getting close to expending the time and energy to do so, but that isn't the purpose of this post.
This post is to express my dismay at the Natural Birth Advocates (NBAs) and their continued insistence on evidenced-based care and then going completely against what evidence there is! From homeopathy to acupuncture… from not acknowledging anything being too risky to deliver at home to the blasé acceptance of babies dying or being damaged in homebirths… I just can't take it anymore.
I may never have another reader again… may be boycotted the way the SOB is, but that's fine with me. I am not going to tow the party line any more. I don't know what I would consider myself, but I do need to separate myself from the NBC.
The Birth Professionals group was one thing, but the cesarean birth my daughter just had was the last piece of patience I had.
When Meghann got pregnant, we discussed home and hospital birth. I simply did not feel comfortable encouraging a homebirth for my granddaughter and helped her find a wonderful group of CNMs. They were fantastic! Then, on August 31, my daughter went into natural labor and we went to the hospital when it seemed she was in active labor. I'm leaving out a slew of details because I don't want to tell her story yet, but we were treated like royalty at the hospital, a truly unhindered birth even with tiny bits of technology thrown in (an oxymoron to the NBAs). Meghann and her husband Brian were kind enough to let me chronicle her labor and birth on my Navelgazing Midwife Facebook page and the grand majority of folks were lovely and incredibly supportive. But, when things shifted and it was obvious a cesarean was necessary, a couple of purists felt it was their place to comment… er, judge… what they thought was happening, without the benefit of actually knowing because I wasn't expressing everything online.
I paused as things moved to more complicated, thinking, "How will this look to others? A midwife whose UC-born daughter needing a cesarean?" And I hated that I even had to expend an ounce of energy on such a stupid, irrelevant thought. Why should I care one iota what others think?
Because (too many) others will tear apart her birth story… especially if I wrote her story out, which I am not sure I even want to anymore. Even if I wrote the facts as I know them, her decisions will be picked apart like so much carrion; like I have done to others' stories myself.
This acknowledgement that I have dissected other women's stories is another aspect that lets me know I've left the NBC; I am embarrassed and even ashamed that I have hurt other mothers and perhaps tarnished their stories. I pray I won't ever do that again.
Just the few negative comments about Meghann's choosing to have a cesarean after 32 hours of labor and bouts of fetal distress soured me on laying out her birth, knowing criticism will be a side effect of the story here in my blog.
This morning, I read through the comments and questions on the Natural Birth Professionals page and winced seeing women I simply cannot have civil conversations with anymore. I try to be polite, but their out and out ignorance… and, I'll just say it… stupidity about what they think birth is supposed to be irks me no end. And the topics? rolling my eyes again How many times can we hear to leave women to labor indefinitely because their body will work it out if left alone? Or that pain relief should be the absolute "last resort" after trying every single idea the judging woman thinks is appropriate?
I just can't take it anymore. I'll have to find a name for myself. I embrace "Medwife" now, but think there's a place for us middle-of-the-roaders… Realistic Birth Advocates? I kind of like that. It's taken nearly thirty years to get here, but here I am. And perhaps for the first time, I feel at peace with my place in birth.

Invariably, every spring, I get bit by the redecorating bug. The spring sun shines on all the things we didn't get around to updating or improving last year and my husband starts slinking around the house, trying to stay out of sight, for fear of the emergence of the annual, dreaded 'Honey Do' list. Beyond comical, his mute efforts are something akin to my memories of playing hide and seek with my children at age two. I'm certain you remember.... they close their eyes so tightly while hiding behind a floor lamp, they are convinced that they are completely invisible.
Although I love to gets my hands dirty in our home improvement projects, the simple truth is that I am the 'brains' and my husband is the 'brawn' in this DIY team. Truth be told, the Hubs has been known to describe our arrangement a bit differently. In fact, in the midst of my redecorating planning frenzies, he has been known to use a more personal pet name for me, one that has four words and starts with 'P', and it isn't precious little pumkin' pie!
As any good manager knows, the key to getting quality work from your crew is to set realistic goals and to bake up plenty of their favorite treats. With this in mind and so much home improvement work to do, this DIY manager has had to make some temporary compromises to ensure that larger projects get their due attention and effort. (That, and the fact that my 'crew' threatened to quit if I put too many projects at once on his 'Honey Do' list!)
To keep the DIY peace, while the Hubs works away at a larger project, I've found three easy ways to get a great new look that require both minimal effort and are budget-friendly.
Add a splash of color
With a simple changing of window treatments in a new hue or the addition of a variety of throw pillows in complimentary patterns as well as solids can add a fresh new feel to any room in your house! Transitioning from a monochromatic look to pulling in colors opposite the room's main color on the color wheel, or the opposite, can make a dramatic difference. Easy to accomplish on any budget and within a day time, you'll can take your room in a whole new direction.
Whether you are sprucing up a foyer, bath, bedroom or living area, creating a new look can be as simple as replacing your existing floor coverings that have seen their share of spills and muddy foot prints. When we purchased our home, having moved from a fully carpeted condo, an striped area rug was all we had available for our new formal dining room. Although I still loved the colors, it was wholly inappropriate for its temporary home in the dining room. I found a gorgeous pattern from Mohawk Home that was a gorgeous improvement, both a style better befitting the space and complimentary our antique dining set in pecan and soft walls already painted in Moroccan Sand.
|Concord Ruby Collection ~ Mohawk Home
Already familiar with the quality and durability of Mohawk Home products, this DIY decorator loves that I can find a wide variety of accent pieces to match or compliment a larger room rug. The Concord Ruby pattern I fell in love with is available in numerous sizes, from small accents, up to 10' x 13', and even in round. Oh so soft, yet durable and up to the challenge of withstanding the wear of pets and teens, this stain and fade resistant rug is perfect for adding an elegant touch to my dining room!
Adding or improving the quality of your room's lighting can have a dramatic effect on the overall look! Whether you update a dated fixture, add recessed lighting to spotlight particular features or add a stylish new lamp, making a change to the lighting in a room can be an easy way to make a difference and highlight your decorative skills, as well as change the mood of your space.
No matter your home improvement plans for this spring, keep your in house DIY labor crew moving forward on the big projects by tackling the easy solutions yourself. Mohawk Home makes it easy for you with hundreds of styles of quality floor coverings to choose from! You'll find just the right piece to suit your style and the new look you seek from Mohawk Home!
Stay In The Know
Mohawk Home is generously offering That's What She Said and Collective Media Magic readers an opportunity to create a new look in their home! Winner may select the rug of their choice from any of the Mohawk Home retailers, up to 8' x 10' size and up to $399 value! This giveaway is open to residents of the US, 18+ and will end on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at 12:01am EST.

Good Luck!

Flexible Pharma: Puzzling Out the Plant of the Future
The need to improve agility and reduce financial risk is driving new approaches to plant design and operation, and the use of new technologies. Industry experts look at the future pharmaceutical plant from all angles.
For years now, observers have said that pharmaceutical manufacturing must become more agile and that the industry faces a "sea change" in the way that it handles R&D and manufacturing. The last decade, like those that preceded it, has been marked by mergers, and many large, single-product facilities have been closed down. Yet, on the surface, little appears to have changed. Facilities have not become automated, "lights out" plants, continuous manufacturing is still relegated to specific niches, and PAT and QbD have not started a revolution, although they are gradually being applied, or at least studied by more companies.
However, the scene has been set for drastic change. In the U.S., discussions of healthcare reform bring the prospect of higher production levels and lower drug prices, while the likely approval of follow-on biogenerics promises to shave years off the marketable life cycle of biotech drugs. Is this the calm before the post-blockbuster storm? "We talk about personalized medicine but it doesn't seem like we really believe it's coming. Is it this year? Is it next year?" Lars Petersen, Genentech's vice president of automation, asked peers at a life sciences panel discussion at the 2009 Emerson Global Users Exchange earlier this fall. "The most important factor will be the responsiveness of pharma facilities to changing demand," he continued. "The key question is: How do we create more agility?"
In this article, we'll try to answer that question, as experts share their views of how drug manufacturing facilities will change to become more agile, what technologies will drive flexibility and how this will affect the industry. We've also made our extended discussions with various experts available via links provided throughout the article, and in the box at right.
Drivers for Flexibility
Several major trends are driving less-expensive, more flexible pharmaceutical plant designs, says Bob Bader, senior manager of technology for pharma and biopharma at Jacobs Engineering (Conshohocken, Pa.). First, we don't need that much product anymore, he says. "We're not talking about 2000 kilograms but 200 to 300 kilograms per year," he says. At the same time, in biotech, titers are going up. As a result, the upstream portion of bio facilities has become smaller and the extent to which single-use equipment can be used has increased to a point where 100% single-use becomes possible. "It gives you a lot of flexibility but also simplifies design, automation and fixstraed capital costs," he says.
Bader's colleague Deepak Agarwal, director of pharmaceutical technology at Jacobs, sees pharma engineering projects aiming to:
- minimize the cost of goods and the total installed cost
- further accelerate scheduling for design, build and
- make facilities more flexible and adaptable for a range
of products
- continue to make high-quality product.
But cost containment is only one facet of pharma flexibility. There's also a very real need to minimize financial risk and liability early in the drug value chain, a need that is driving increased use of disposable process equipment, Bader says.
"If you think of all the curve balls that can come at you when you have drugs in the clinic, plunking down $500 million that you won't even use or see for the next five years, given the uncertainty that the drug will make it to market, is an incredibly risky proposition," says Parrish Galliher, CTO of Xcellerex, Inc. (Marlborough, Mass.). Galliher responded to this problem not only by designing a "Biotech Monopoly" board game, but starting up Xcellerex six years ago, to address some of the most frustrating problems he'd seen in three decades of bringing new drugs, and plants, to market. At the heart of the company's work is the FlexFactory biomanufacturing platform, a system that uses disposable bioreactors and mixers and collapsed cleanrooms around process equipment, and which grew out of a prototype that Galliher developed while at Millennium Pharmaceuticals in 2001.

Doctor Who Nightmare In Silver Preview Clip 2 - Cyberman Attack!

Cybermen do not move like that... that is a weeping angel level speed given to a Cyberman - and honestly it makes them less scary and raises questions...
Why didnt the Cyberman use the super speed to kill everyone in the room instantly
Why did the Cyberman only use the super speed to travel forward a meter
Why are Cybermen shown running, stomping, walking and speeding? - shouldn't they just stick to one form of travel as the super speed is the most silent...
Is there any suspense with Cybermen given they can now move as fast as Flash or Superman and look like Iron Man?
Why are their two Angies? Is it bad editing...? or are they going to pull the whole 'time is collapsing so everyone is being fractured and is echoing through time' thing?
Why the hell does that random fat dude run at the Cyberman screaming? Firstly, it knows where you are. Secondly, that woman said 'attack formation' so they obviously know how to fight it. So why run at it to get killed?
In addition - no reaction from the Doctor about the Cybermen? Surely he should be stating about how they either; escaped the parallel world (Cybus Cybermen) or managed to somehow rebuild themselves (Mondas Cybermen)
In addition also - Their has been a Cybus Cyberman in the 'Next time' trailer so does that mean that we are all being fooled and these are just Cybus Cybermen again?

Is Neil Gaiman a fan of Dan Simmons? That Cyberman moves like The Shrike. If the new "super speed" is a result of fast time rather than fast actuators I would guess so.
