Is "the state" our enemy?
I am seeing a growing trend of antipathy towards "the state".
This is coming from all sides of political discourse. But Mostly, none of it is qualified by what this "state" is.
I find that confusing.
I assumed that "the state" was a collection of "us" and that the "democracy" we support is simply a process of having representatives make laws which we agree to obey ..
SO .. let's have a look!
Is our state antithetical to our own agreement?
Please let me know what you think the "state" is and why it is your enemy?
If we can get some kind of understanding for that, then we might be able to advise our representatives. We vote for them after all .. is that just "entertainment"? Or is it real?
Closing Statement from Mitch SMith
Many thanks for those who contributed here!
The discussion has been quite inspiring.
Is "the state" our enemy?
I conclude that if we are part of the definition of the state, it cannot be our enemy.
However, if we are excluded from that definition, it could very well be our enemy.
If you observe that the state is separate from you, then you must decide:
1. if you need to defend yourself against it.
2. If you should negotiate an allegence with it.
3. If you should join with it.
4. If you should attack it.
5. If you should create another state which includes you in its definition.
I would suspect that a state will resist attempts by outsiders to change it - this is the same as an attack and will be dealt with accordingly.
I will point out that western "democracies" have included the mechanism of electoral terms. If such terms were treated as an opportunity to dissolve and re-form a state, then inclusion would be the first principle.
Is the Western state our enemy? No - the enemy lies in the political parties who have corrupted the power of the electoral term - this is where the enemy should be met.

Feb 5 2013: As I have often saw, most people just love to blame someone else for their mistakes. Same goes and with all their problems. As you can see, if people's problems are external (rise of oil prices, military draft and etc) they will try put blame on government. New problems arise as old ones diminishes and cycle of negative emotions toward government continues to grow. Over time, they simply add up, there is often no "good" side of being ruled. We take that we are given for granted and ask for more without an appreciation of that we currently have.
Due to nature of politics there quite much place left for certain kind of incompetence. Also, far deeper problem are low and medium-grade government workers who often face little to no personal standards requirements for their job. Sadly, they job is arguably most important since they enforce and support policies. They are responsible for running the government. It's they, not small elite at the top who are responsible for decisive laws usage. Because of them, we see government as being "cold" and "bullish", "unfriendly" or even corrupted. Their failings to understand the meaning behind laws and weight of bureaucracy further corrupts the system.
From personal experience I know well, that if you answer others people "communications" with stoic patience and friendliness and goodwill, you will likely "touch" person with whom you're dealing with and often you will earn its respect. With that, I doubt that there would be any anti-government sentiments if bulk of basis of low and medium grade government officials would do their jobs well beyond of narrow requirements of their role.

April 24, 2003
EARLY CO. - We could soon know just how much of the state's water supply farmers are using. Specialists hammered away installing one of Georgia's first propeller flow meters in Early County Thursday. If signed by the governor, a new law will require all of the state's 21 thousand irrigaters to have meters by 2009.
Mike Newberry has heard complaints that farmers are to blame for wells going dry, and wants to put an end to it. "I want to be able to prove how much I'm using, then I'll be able to prove that I am using it as efficiently as possible," he said.
As part of the pilot program, Newberry also received a guide designed specfically for his 150-acre farm to help him conserve water.
The meters run about $1,000 each, which means the state will have to come up with $21 million if it plans to keep its promise to supply the meters free of charge. Farmers applying for new irrigation permits after this summer will have to pay for the meters themselves.

Movie News
From Bloody Boobs to Blue Balls: A Reader Reviews Piranha 3-D!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Since the studio decided to vote no on press screenings there's been a shortage of reviews in advance of the release. I see why they'd do it... not like this movie is critic-bait anyway, but as someone who loves Joe Dante's original Jaws homage (written by the great and respectable John Salles, no less) and a good, cheesy tongue-in-cheek horror flick with tons of blood, gore and breastseses I'm itching to see the flick. And considering Richard Dreyfuss is pretty much playing Matt Hooper at the beginning (from wardrobe to name, I'm told) that guarantees me some enjoyment. Plus, it's Alex Aja. His Haute Tension is 95% the best horror movie of the decade. Anyway, we got a reader review that has some spoilery material and I figured I'd go ahead and run it. I'll probably be seeing the flick tonight at some theater in town and will hopefully be awake enough to run my own review afterward.
Hey Harry Been on the site for a few years now but this is the first time I'm sending you guys anything, hope you can use it. I'm a projectionist and I just screened Piranha in 3D, I haven't seen any reviews yet so I thought I'd send you a quick write-up. (MILD SPOILERS) The movie starts with an awesome cameo by Richard Dreyfuss, and right away I thought I was in for something great. I saw it for free, but by the end I couldn't recommend it to someone paying $14-$16 to see it. The movie itself is 82 minutes, and the first hour is really slow going. Pretty much all there is to hold your attention is a completely useless teenage romance subplot, a lot of boobs and a few deaths. But the deaths are heavily CGId, shaky and close-up so you can barely make out what happening. And yeah, boobs are nice to look at but it gets old fast. Plus, I'm pretty sure all of the naked women are pornstars (except Kelly Brook), so just get their names from the credits and you can look up videos that show a lot more than their tits. But at the 60 minute mark the thing kicks into high gear. The massacre in the lake (the Comic-Con footage) is pretty epic; all kinds of crazy, sadistic deaths. And they finally lay off the CGI and start using practical in-camera effects, and it gets pretty gruesome. Huge gaping wounds, people ripped in half, limbs partially chewed apart, propellers chopping people up, a scalping, a great head squashing. Really fun, really really gory stuff. Then, just as it's got your heart racing and it's really starting to get you involved...roll credits. BLUE BALLS. It doesn't end so much as it just stops. It defenitely feels like they cut the last 20 minutes of the script off because they didn't have the budget or they had a runtime constriction. But either way they neglected to write an ending. After seeing this movie I'm still of the opinion that 3D is unecessary and takes more away from a film than it adds. But unlike "Clash of the Titans" or "The Last Airbender," the film is bright and the 3D effects are rendered well enough. None of the actors really make an impression because their characters are completely underwritten (it was nice to see Christopher Lloyd for a few seconds), but there was one exception. I thought Adam Scott was great. I love how he goes from being the pussy, nerdy scientist who can't believe Elisabeth Shue is crazy enough to go back out on the lake...to badass action hero saving teens on a jet-ski while pumping & firing a shotgun with one hand in about 5 seconds. The whole time he's reacting to every situation like he's in the audience watching this movie; he's really self-deprecating and has a lot of fun with the role. So if you still want to see it, my advice would be to watch the first 5 minutes for the awesome Richard Dreyfuss cameo. Then leave the theater, go to your car and download a couple porn videos on your iPhone...and come back 55 minutes later to watch the last 20. If you use this call me J-Dawg. "The thing about the J-Dawg...is that you can't tame the J-Dawg"

Yes, even in NYC movies are only $11, depending on where you go. However, this is a 3D movie. $14 is what a 3D movie costs in the last two cities I've lived in, Chicago and San Francisco. In Manhattan, they're upwards of $17.

Adam Scott's death in tv spot
by Bungion Boy
I love Adam Scott too. Between things like Step Brothers, Parks and Recreation, and Party Down, he's become someone I've really enjoyed watching lately. But it looks like all the tv spots show his death. And what a bullshit, "Deep Blue Sea" sort of rip off death it is. It's already all too apparent that Dreyfus dies in the opening scene. Is Adam Scott really the lead in this film or are all of the few actors that I like in this relegated to brief to extended cameos?

The High Tension ending backlash (Spoiler)
by Samuel Fulmer
The ending would have been more novel had it not happened at the height of every horror film having the same twist, that being that the hero is really the bad guy or crazy. If it had come out in 1993 it would get more praise, and this is coming from someone that thought the ending was terrible and cliche.

High Tension best horror of the decade? It's not even in the same ballpark as The Mist. It's not even the same sport as The Mist. The Mist shits on High Tension, AND pisses on it. The Mist does a Max Hardcore to High Tension.
 I absolutely love The Hills Have Eyes remake, but The Mist is the best horror movie of the past decade, bar none.

the difference with Transformers is that was based on a cartoon many loved so they were blinded by nostalgia and/or their love for the property. in this case, its a remake of a terrible b-movie which itself spawned a terrible DTV remake in 1995. no attachments or expectations. of course that still doesnt explain how Snakes on a Plane had such a huge presence online before it came out and tanked but i guess this sorta rides in that boat as well.

I saw the original PIRANHA yesterday
by AsimovLives
I was suprised by the amount of humour that's in the film, considering the movie starts a bit half-serious. But as things get worst, the movie gets funnier... until the final attack scene which is played totaly for real, and again, i was amazed and suprised how serious the movie becames by the end. My favorite part of the movie? Death by pollution, the only effective way to really deal with the Piranha menace. I think i laughed for 5 minutes straigh! They sure don't make them like that anymore! Some people call PIRANHA a JAWS rip-off and while it might had started that way, the movie elevates itself far beyond a mere rip-off. It's a damn fine movie on it's own right, doesn't need the clutch of JAWS.

The Daily Species #22:
Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis)
The Komodo dragon, also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami. A member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae), it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum length of 3 metres (9.8 ft) in rare cases and weighing up to around 70 kilograms (150 lb).
Young Komodo dragons spend much of their first few years in trees, where they are relatively safe from predators, including cannibalistic adults, who make juvenile dragons 10% of their diet. When the young must approach a kill, they roll around in fecal matter and rest in the intestines of eviscerated animals to deter these hungry adults. Komodo dragons take about three to five years to mature, and may live for up to 50 years.
On December 20, 2006, it was reported that Flora, a captive Komodo dragon living in the Chester Zoo in England, was the second known Komodo dragon to have laid unfertilized eggs: she laid 11 eggs, and seven of them hatched, all of them male. Scientists at Liverpool University in England performed genetic tests on three eggs and verified that Flora had never been in physical contact with a male dragon. This process, known as Parthenogenesis, is a form of asexual reproduction where growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization.

Every so often, some people start raging on the train forums, or even in the pages of the magazines, about modern electronics in modern O gauge trains. The modern electronics make the model trains sound just like real trains, but eventually heat and power surges take their toll, the board goes poof, and now that […]
Why you can't get a $50 replacement sound/control board for your modern Lionel train
The estate find that broke my slump
I wrote a few weeks ago about finding a scarce Marx windup train at an estate sale, but I actually went a good couple of years without finding a train worth buying until recently. The train that broke my slump was at a sale close to home, and I actually didn't even set out to […]
The Marx connection to Hafner
Hafner was a Chicago-based maker of clockwork-powered O gauge trains during most of the first half of the 20th century. The trains were inexpensive but durable. William Hafner developed the clockwork motor as a hobby around the turn of the previous century and put the motor in toys. Eventually he decided to make a train–perhaps […]
What's an Allstate electric train?
Model electric trains from the 1950s and 1960s (and perhaps 1970s, but no later than 1975) branded "Allstate" are somewhat common, which leads to some further questions. Yes, it's Allstate, as in the insurance company. What did they have to do with electric trains?
You can't collect everything
There's been a fairly spirited discussion lately in the always excellent Yahoo Marx Train group about the merits of Marx tin trains versus plastic ones. Some people like them all, some people prefer one or the other, and almost everyone with a preference is apologizing to the people who prefer the other. That's part of […]

Two years ago, Jerry Greene made a splash when he attempted to put his huge, one-of-a-kind train collection up for auction.

Using a Lionel (or other brand) O or O27 transformer with HO or N scale trains
Here's a good question: Can you use Lionel O or O27 transformers (or, for that matter, American Flyer S transformers) with HO or N scale trains? The answer is, not directly. But you can if you add a $3 bridge rectifier from Radio Shack (part number 276-1146).
Measuring the voltage and amperage of your train transformer's output
Sometimes you want to know how many volts your train transformer is feeding your trains, in order to avoid damaging the motors. And it's also helpful to know how many amps you're pulling from your transformer, so you don't damage the transformer.
Why publish in Classic Toy Trains?
On one of the few remaining train forums where I do anything but lurk, the magazine Classic Toy Trains came up in discussion. Someone said, "It ought to call itself Classic Lionel Toys and be done with it," and the discussion progressed from there. Being that my next published work will be in that particular […]

Guns are designed to kill people. When are guns actually a positive influence in society?
Guns are designed to kill people (or animals). I would like to open the floor for honest concise input: How can one use this destructive tool as a constructive tool for society?
Topics: war and peace
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Elizabeth Gu 30+Feb 6 2012: I hate guns, but ironically, I think guns are inevitably necessary.
There are so many dangerous threats in this world, so we need guns to protect people and to use them as a symbolic icon--we have guns(or other weapons), so if you want to attack or kill the innocent people in my family or town or country, you have to reconsider! Otherwise...(you know what I mean?).
I've always wanted peaceful world where there are no crimes and no dangerous forces since I was a kid.
But I've also disappointed with our reality, our real world where there are so many terrible things happen and peaceful talks are sometimes not effective at all.
Nonetheless, when it comes to using guns, we must be careful and ask ourselves why we're using them--e.g. "do I really need to have guns? Is it really necessary to use it right now?"
hou gc
Feb 7 2012: Guns and other weapons existed since the prehistoric times, if one want to cause damage to you, he can pick up a stone and hit you till you die. If someone attack you, he will most likely have a tool for using that. Thats why he speaks about the need of restrains in an armed force, and also about armed force, not something like givin guns to everyone. Reallyts works in a way that to many things interact, yes it has possible problems, even the human body,state and everything has, thats why we try to improve, the humen society, and everything around us. However I dont pretend to know that its possible to achiev such perfect state, but i know that right know the situation is under better control and we live a better life, and the world is a better place thanks to governed armed forces. There are still a lot ofissue of course and room for improvemnt in the system or i dont know where. But that fact remains.
No Linda of course not, It would be a generalization of a problem which billions face, its not an anserw. (at least not a right one). Civilians should be able to get guns if they wish (maybe harder then in the USA, but easier then in some other countries) I think that a united armed force is needed.
Linda Taylor 50+Feb 7 2012: So your idea is to give guns to the militia but not to the people. Let's think about that. If we disagree with military leaders, guess who wins?
A gun is simply a tool.
In my area of the world, guns are a necessary tool. Most people own one. It is not unusual when I get out of work that there is a bear or cougar warning. While I would never intentionally hurt an animal, if it is the animal or my child, the child wins. Militia or not.
Feb 7 2012: Hi, hou.
(Sorry, I saw your reply just now.)
To control, government has to prevent those terrible events beforehand.
Of course, in turn, citizens also have to keep an eye on the government so that the government wouldn't use violence whenever they want.
So, proper laws and policies are definitely required.
Think about it,
even if everyone in the world has no guns, it's probable that some people do horrible things to others if they decide to do it. That's why laws exist(well, that's not the only reason, though).
You know, if there's no laws, the world would be getting chaotic.
So, simply put, if we want to protect the people we care about from the dangerous threats, we have to prepare weapons not for the REVENGE, but for defense and protection.
Good point,btw.
Even though guns are inevitably necessary, we must not let the people who kill innocent people crazily justify their behavior.
Because..the end doesn't always justify the means

"If that doesn't put things into perspective for you with regard to Blizzard's trying to make raiding more accessible, I don't know what will."
I'm not sure heroic mode content was ever supposed to be more accessible. In fact, I'd argue it shouldn't be. Isn't the nerfed content on regular mode enough for everyone?
I'm happy as a clam to be 3/7 HM, not getting further just makes me want to try harder next tier.
I think it's a perspective thing. Whilst Blizzard certainly doesn't want it's entire raiding base to simply walk through Heroic mode, they did nerf the other 6 bosses in order to make Heroic Rag more accessible.
There was a post by Blizzard back when they nerfed the Firelands content back in September, and their reasoning for both versions being nerfed was "to get more people to see the best stuff".
As we know, before the nerf, HC Rag was pretty much the least defeated raid boss after 3 months than any other raid before it except for Algalon and Heroic LK 25man, but that wasn't Blizzard's concern. Blizzard's concern was how few people were getting to, then getting past Heroic Staghelm.
Basically, they wanted more people to see him get up and walk around.
I will concur that they did it far far far too soon into the content's cycle, and I can hope that with LFR, they will leave Normal and Heroic content alone (exept for balancing buff nerfs), but considering their desire to more people to see the final boss, I wont hold on to my breath on that regard. Although since there isn't an extra phase of DW in DS, I have some hope left, not much though.

Smartphone Camera Review: Nokia Lumia 900 v. iPhone 4S v. HTC One X
Marin Perez over at Intomobile does a handy photo showdown that covers all smartphone bases: a Windows phone versus an iPhone versus an Android!
His review—with sample pics & vids—goes over each camera phone's:
- Image quality
- Camera software
- HD video
His pick? The Android—the HTC One X. Find out why:
Smartphone Camera Review: HTC One X Has the Edge Over iPhone & Windows Phone
instagram V picplz
For those of you who maybe unaware; there are two applications currently battling for te hearts and minds of the smartphone/iPhone, social web, photosharing market. They are; instagram, and picplz.
I have accounts on both, but have more of an inclination towards instagram, why? Well I guess because it was the first, but more importantly, it has only one real point of access, your Iphone itself. This is the major difference between the two. instagram provides a uri, for other sites to link to, if you choose to share it on such places.
picplz; on the other hand has a fully fledged website, with a fully functional interface and community accessible form the wbesite.
Performance wise, instagram feels a little faster, and I was able to quickly nut out its interface, whereas I had to dig a little to find some features I wanted with picplz, such as using images from my camera album, rather than making an image on the spot, to upload.
Both apps auto post to as many sites as you you choose, so of course it is quite painless to upload to, all the usual suspects, flickr, facebook, twitter tumbler etc.
Otherwise, the only reason I feel anyone would go for picplz is if they did not have an iPhone as picplz is available on the iTunes for the iPhone and is also available for the Android.
The one thing I like, about picplz over instagram is that you can upload your images in the format you made them i.e., rectangular, instagram insists on square for some reason, no real biggy for me, as I compose with this in mind.
So, if you are thinking of joining in this online experience, let know, I am always interested in how other people see their world. My username on both is funnily enough s2art, or s2 art.
If you have an account or join let me know?

Klaus Knopper answers your Linux questions
Ask Klaus
Open to Possibilities
Hi Klaus,
I'm an old PC/Windows guru from the days when PCs often didn't have CMOS or Real Time Clocks and adapted to them. In Linux Magazine 150 (my first issue), Neil was asking about Linux on a notebook with CMOS issues, and it caught my eye.
First, I've never known CMOS storage to fail, but after 3 or more years the backup batteries can easily fail. In a desktop, you just replace what is typically a CR2032 cell. My own desktop will need just such a battery anytime; it's been going a little over 5 years!

Data Loss
mailing list archives
A report released yesterday by the Office of the Inspector General
(OIG) for the Department of Veterans Affairs indicates that they
substantiated allegations that the VA was routinely transmitting
sensitive information, including PII, PHI, and internal network
routing information, over an unencrypted telecom carrier network. The
Office of Information and Technology (OIT) disputes their findings,
From the OIG report, the background of the investigation:
The VA Midwest Health Care Network, also known as the Veterans
Integrated Service Network (VISN) 23 within the Veterans Health
Administration, serves more than 400,000 veterans enrolled to receive
medical care residing in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota,
South Dakota and portions of Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin,
and Wyoming.
In May 2012, a complainant contacted the VA Office of Inspector
General (OIG) Hotline, alleging that certain VA medical centers
(VAMCs) were transmitting sensitive information, including PII and
internal network routing information, over unencrypted
telecommunications carrier networks. More specifically, the
complainant indicated that unencrypted data were transmitted among
various VAMC networks using the South Dakota Network, which functions
as the local telecommunications carrier network.
The complainant alleged that these security violations occurred at
VAMCs located in Fort Meade, SD; Omaha, NE; and Sioux Falls, SD, which
are in VISN 23.
The allegations were reportedly substantiated:
Office of Information and Technology (OIT) personnel disclosed that VA
typically transferred unencrypted sensitive data, such as electronic
health records and internal Internet protocol addresses, among certain
VA medical centers and Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs)
using an unencrypted telecommunications carrier network.
The sensitive information included:
veterans' and dependents' names, Social Security numbers, dates of
birth, and protected health information. The data also included the
Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture's
electronic health records and internal Internet protocol addresses.
We also noted that the Sioux Falls and Fort Meade VA medical
facilities regularly used unencrypted telecommunications carrier
networks to transmit unencrypted sensitive data to external
organizations providing remote Teleradiology services. Teleradiology
services involve electronically sending radiographic patient images,
such as X-rays, and sensitive patient information from one location to
another for the purpose of interpretation and/or consultation with
Disturbingly, OIT personnel stated that:
sending unencrypted sensitive data to outpatient clinics and external
business partnerswas a common practice at facilities across VA
(emphasis added by PHIprivacy.net). OIT management acknowledged this
practice and formally accepted the security risk of potentially losing
or misusing the sensitive information exchanged via a waiver; however,
the use of a system security waiver was not appropriate.
I wonder if every veteran whose health or other sensitive information
was transmitted insecurely would have agreed to accept the risks.
Not surprisingly, the OIG report recommends encryption and training of
OIT personnel on the importance of encrypting sensitive information.
The OIT disagreed with the OIG's findings:
OIT does not agree with the assertion that PII and internal network
routing information are being transmitted over unsecured Internet
connections. OIT employs service offerings from industry
telecommunications carriers that are privately segmented from other
public traffic and that secure internal routing information from
exposure to unauthorized entities. These carrier services provide VA
with a private network and do not place traffic on the Internet. It is
necessary, in serving our Veterans, to transmit PII. The network links
in question are not currently employing encryption but these
transmissions are crossing only the private VA network and are not
exposed to or traversing the Internet.
After learning of the allegation, OIT immediately engaged in a
comprehensive review of the locations where the complaints were
focused and subsequently determined that the allegation is
unsubstantiated. The review was conducted utilizing subject matter
experts from outside of the geography and organization in the report.
The communications circuits in the geography in question were
inspected, the configuration of the associated network equipment was
reviewed, and the network administrators were interviewed. All of the
findings conclusively substantiated that traffic is traversing only
VA's private network and is not utilizing the Internet, or otherwise
publicly exposed, in any way. The telecommunications carrier for these
communications links was also interviewed to validate the nature and
configuration of their service offering. The carrier confirmed that
the communications links in questions are private Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) that provide a secure, privately segmented network to
VA. A letter from the telecommunications carrier is also attached.
Also attached is a technical explanation and diagrams demonstrating
how sensitive information is routed between VA facilities. Although VA
does not concur with the Inspector General's findings in this area,
OIT has initiated a review to ensure that the current practice
described in the aforementioned technical documentation is being
consistently applied across the VA enterprise, and if exposures are
found, OIT will correct those exposures without hesitation.
So did the OIG get their findings wrong? If so, that's a pretty big
mistake that would make me question whether the OIG is competent to
really investigate IT security.

Football star still can't believe he has a daughter after three boys
David Beckham gushed his excitement over finally having a daughter last year and it seems he still hasn't got over it.
The football ace, who famously released a gorgeous snap of him with his newborn girl, has revealed his thoughts about Harper in an interview with Elle magazine.
"I still think, 'Oh God, I can't believe this, I've got a girl," David said.
"It's great. I love to bite her legs, or shoulders. It's how a baby should be. She's so beautiful."
David, who's made it clear he'd love more kids, explained the difference between daughter Harper and his three sons.
"There's no more love for a daughter than there is a son, but it's just different," he said.
"When the [boys] are kids you can roll them around and they fall to the sides and they pick themselves up and they're fine."
"Whereas Harper, now, she hits herself just slightly and she cries," David said.
The dad-of-four spoke heartwarmingly about Victoria's role as a mother.
"She's a great mum," he said. "Everything revolves around the children, as busy as she is, and that's what I love her for."
"Well, there are many other things I love her for, but being an amazing mother is a very sexy quality," David said.
Aw, David! Here at TB HQ we love David's sensitive side.

This is my first time here in the forum....I read Amanda's story and I can feel her pain. It brought me back to the day I had to pick up my son Logan's ashes. I just sat and stared at the tiny little box they handed me and I couldn't even speak. My son, Logan, was stillborn due to PE on May 16, 2004 at 25w. I was told about 7 weeks prior that I had a placental abruption, but not to worry that a lot of women go full term with this condition. PE was never mentioned at this point as I had no other symptoms. When I read Amanda's story about not having any warning signs, it hit close to home. My pregnancy was "normal" until I had a high AFP test and then all seemed OK even then. I had a completely normal OB appt. about 3 weeks before my son was born and we were completely caught off guard. I have lost 4 babies in miscarriage before the 8th week. We thought finally we made it this far and then to have it ripped away from us...it has been devastating.
I'm sitting here tonight and I don't really know what I want to get from this forum, but maybe some comfort. As all of us know, we have "good" days and "bad" days. It seems I've had more of the latter lately. I'm finally ready to try to get some input on some of the things I've been feeling. I had a friend ask me today if I'm getting any grief counseling and I replied "no"! I think I need it though.
I feel anger and sadness that so many of us have had to endure this trauma. It feels like the worst reality check you can imagine. I have a wonderful life. We have a beautiful daughter whom I never had any complications with in that pregnancy and I just wonder, "Why me?" I can't answer that, the Doc's can't answer that. I'm just so frustrated.
I don't want to be a bitter person, but have felt that lately. I hate seeing other pregnant women. It was really bad when I was still supposed to be pregnant. My due date was a horribly sad day. I went to my son's grave and just cried. It's not fair. I pray that someday they find a reason and a way around PE. Too many people have lost lives to this. Sorry for the negativity. I have to thank Tracy for sending me an e-mail inviting me to the forum. I really needed that today.

The screen functions on WVGA technology thereby having a brilliant capacity to display 16.7 million colors. The screen is among the widest of the displays available on a phone which is ideal for heavy apps like gaming. The large screen in gaming provides a discreet and sharp images to the user. With a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels the screen has a fabulous density of 216 pixels per inch (PPI) that supports up to 720 pixels HD.
Gaming wouldn't make any respectable mark if the phone was just a screen. The HTC Titan is powered by a very powerful 1.5 GHz Scorpion SoC processor. Along with the high speed processor, there is 512 MB of RAM in the phone that enhances its response time and the gaming quality. The touch screen also has a CMOS sensor installed. Its backlight control mechanism and backside illumination system also enhances gaming experience. The combination of these systems in a hand held device ensures great gripping and support. The device measures 131.5 mm in height, 70.7 mm in width and 9.9 mm thick makes the device easy on the hands.
The controls of gaming are also enhanced by several fittings of the phone. The technical specifications favor the CPU and memory but there are other aspects of the phone that make it a favored gaming phone. It also has a accelerometer, a magnetometer and a 6 axis gyroscope that help connect the user to the gaming world. The screen which is multi touch has to depend on the functionalities of the device to exert out the control signals from the user to the phone. Without these features users would not be able to game because some games would be impossible to play, therefore hindering the overall gaming experience.
You can buy a fabulous HTC Titan case for your sturdy smart phone, additionally there are many HTC Titan accessories that are there which might be helpful to you to let your phone become a fantastic gaming device for you. Its SRS surround sound mechanism can be enjoyed through the internal speakers of the phone or by using headphone that can be linked to the instrument through a 3.5 mm audio jack or through 2.1 Bluetooth device. The phone may also be connected to external speakers for enhanced output.
Last but not the least, the system also has enough storage to hold in the installed games that may easily be downloaded from various sites. The internal 16 GB of memory are more than enough because that alone can hold thousands of games, music, video and even pictures. Its latest Windows OS enhances gaming experience as it supports a lot of free games available in the market today. This means that users can easily download many games; all they really need to do is just look for them. Even though the battery provides more than enough game time you can always opt to invest in another one.

Veteran explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes says they will be using all the help they can get as they head off on an expedition to cross the Antarctic.
The expedition, entitled the Coldest Journey, will see Sir Ranulph and his five-man team attempt to cross the continent over a six-month period.
The journey across the Antarctic has never before been attempted during the winter but a Norwegian exploring team recently crossed the Arctic during the summer months.
Sir Ranulph explained that friendly rivalry between the two nations had been a factor in driving him to complete the coldest journey on Earth.
He said: "The Norwegians do consider the polar regions to be theirs, and not for the Brits or the French and that to muck around in."
Speaking of a previous expedition in 1974, the explorer continued that a Norwegian newspaper had run a story claiming that he and co-explorer Charlie Burton had taken a prostitute with them on their sledge.
"Luckily, my late wife was watching our departure so she knew that there was no prostitute, and anyway, at minus 40 certain things are impractical." he said.
At 68, Sir Ranulph is the oldest explorer to attempt the crossing and has been described by The Guinness Book of Records as "the world's greatest living explorer".

This is an awesome school. I transferred my children to this school 4 years ago, and I have been thoroughly impressed with the dedication of the teachers, the quality of the curriculum, and the wonderful Christian education these kids are receiving. They have great facilities and athletic programs as well. I know my kids are going to come out of this school very well-rounded, well-educated and well-prepared for high school.
Although we scopped out other preschools before coming to a decision on coming here. My husband and I had known alot of parents who were searching for just the right preschool too. When my husband and I came upon this one, although there is nothing really out of the ordinary, we really liked it. We set a date and met with some of the faculty. After that day, we loved that school. We notified our friends and they checked it out too. We transported 13 kids to this preschool. This was truly the best fit for my daughter and I will send my other kids here too.

Editor's note: This column originally appeared in 2007.
You may have read in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago about a 94-year-old man who hit a woman riding a bicycle. It wasn't the man's fault; the woman, in her 50s, ran a stop sign. They put the old man in jail overnight and he was given probation because he was driving with no license. It had been taken away because he failed his driver's test. He said he had to drive because he had to take his wife to the doctor and pick up medicine for her.
There is another reason a lot of younger people don't seem to understand why this old man still owned a car. If you are one of these people, think back to the first time you ever drove a car. Think back to the time you owned your first car. Can you recall that wonderful feeling of freedom?
No longer did mom or dad have to take you to school, to work, to the store or to a friend's house. Or, you didn't have to take the bus, the street car or impose on a friend who already owned a "freedom machine."
If you are a guy, do you remember how you felt when you first picked your girlfriend up at her home in your very own car? I don't know about you, but I still feel a tingle when I think about it. I really can't think of a more memorable experience in any young person's life. Your first kiss is probably a close second.
If you are one of those younger people who curse at that gray-haired driver in front of you because she is driving too slowly, just remember that she is probably a safer driver than you. Newspapers like to feature stories of senior citizens having accidents and questioning their mental and physical faculties for driving, but insurance companies charge senior citizens lower premiums than you. That means they have fewer accidents and cause fewer injuries. Admittedly that is partly because we seniors drive fewer miles, but it's also because most of us drive slower and more carefully than you.
My Uncle Charlie died eight years ago. He was 94. My Aunt Marion died within a year of Uncle Charlie. They lived in the same very modest, small house on Valencia Drive in West Palm Beach for 50 years. But they always owned a Cadillac and it was always parked outside in their driveway. Up until the time they were in their late 80s, the highlight of their week was to take a Sunday drive in their shiny Cadillac. Uncle Charlie always drove. When his eyesight got too bad to drive, he still kept that Cadillac in their driveway, always clean and shiny. His eyesight was still good enough so that, from his rocking chair in his living room, he could see that big Cadillac sitting outside (and so could his neighbors).
My father died when he was 86 and he drove a Pontiac TransAm up until the very last. He had cataracts removed from both eyes and back then, you had to wear "Coke- bottle" style glasses to see after this operation. He had no peripheral vision and there were a lot of scrapes, dings and dents that appeared on both sides of that TransAm. Thank God he never had a serious accident. I saw dad every day and I would see that the dents and scratches were regularly repaired. He always said he didn't know where they came from and I never questioned him about that. Maybe I was wrong, but I didn't have the heart to ask him not to drive anymore. I knew how important that car was to dad and I knew how devastating it would be to him if he couldn't drive anymore.
You may have heard of George Greenberg, aka the "mayor of Clematis." He died in 1997 at age 91. He owned Pioneer Linens on Clematis Street in West Palm Beach, a store founded by his father, Max, in 1912. George and I were close friends and I delivered a eulogy at George's funeral at the request of his grandson and daughter.
George always drove an old Buick station wagon, although he was a wealthy man and could have bought any car he wanted. A couple of years ago, George finally treated himself to a new Mercedes Benz SLK-class convertible! Boy did George look good in that car and he was always smiling when he drove it! When he was diagnosed with brain cancer and given only months to live, he finally had to stop driving his freedom machine. His grandson drove him to our monthly dinner at Carmine's Ocean Grille and picked him up. It never was the same for George after that.
At my Toyota dealership in North Palm Beach, we have a lot of older customers. It's just the demographics of northern Palm Beach County. My average customer is 55 and I have lots of customers in their 70s, 80s and 90s. Maybe it's because I'm a senior citizen too, but I especially like talking to my older customers and I've become personal friends with some. I can tell you from personal experience how important their cars are to them in their latter years.
During your middle years when you have so much more going on in your life, your car becomes more utilitarian and you take it for granted. But when you retire and your life is not as hectic your car returns to the importance it had when you were 16, your "freedom machine."
We recently leased a new Camry to one of our very good customers. This was the third car she got from us over the last seven years and she had just turned 90. One of my managers, who has worked for me for 20 years and is a neighbor of hers, handled the lease. About a month after she took her new Camry home, her grandson learned of the transaction and demanded that we rescind the lease. When we spoke to our customer, she let us know that her grandson was very upset with her for leasing the car. He didn't think she should be driving a car anymore and that she wouldn't live long enough to make all the payments on a four-year lease. We offered to refund all of the profit on the lease (about $850), but the grandson insisted that we take the lease car back. This would cost my company thousands because of the depreciation a car takes on as soon as it is titled as a used car.
Yesterday afternoon, my customer's grandson and stepson visited me in my office. They continued to demand that I rescind the lease (only the leasing company, Southeast Toyota Finance can rescind the lease) and absorb the thousands in depreciation on one- month-old, used car. They suggested that I may have broken laws by exploiting the elderly and that if I did not succumb to their demands, they would sue me. They had already called Toyota to complain about my actions. Not so politely, I asked them to leave my office.
This experience troubled me for the rest of the day and even last night and is what inspired this column. Now I understand why I was so angry at the actions of my customer's grandson and stepson. They didn't seem to understand how much that car meant to their grandmother's/stepmother's happiness and what an important thing her "freedom machine" was to her.
I have to wonder how much of their ire was due to genuine concern for her or the potential financial impact on her estate. Her grandson told me that she had put only 1,500 miles on her last car and what does she need a new car for? He just doesn't get it! A new car is a lot more than just a way to get to the drug store. To a senior citizen it's a source of pleasure, pride and comfort, knowing that it's in their driveway for everyone to see and it's there if they need it.

1st Round Recap
Tony Stabile | Jun 26, 2010 | Comments 1
In what most would consider the strangest 1st round in quite some time, the 2010 NHL Entry draft got off to a bang only 3 picks into the first round.
The Islanders, who owned the 5th overall pick, would have a selection of players they wouldn't expect. The Columbus Blue Jackets blew everyone away by selecting C Ryan Johansen with the 4th pick. Johansen was a top 10 rated player and someone ISS said was a Eric Staal lookalike. But at 4 with players like Cam Fowler, Brandon Gormley, Jack Campbell, Nino Niederriter, Brett Connolly still on the board….Johansen was a bit of a stretch.
Now at 5 the Islanders had a choice, take the flashy Fowler or go for the guy they wanted all along. Niederriter was that player. I won't say I was stunned, because I wasn't, I figured that a franchise defenseman has slipped to you, take advantage of that. As we learned quickly, teams 4-11 obviously didn't think as highly of Fowler or Brandon Gormley as some fans did as they tumbled all the way to 11 and 12.
As we saw Nino Niederriter was their man and he would don the brand new Away Jersey on the stage with Owner Charles Wang, GM Garth Snow, Assistant GM Ryan Jankowski and for some reason, actor Kevin Connolly. In Niederriter (a player fans call El Nino) the Islanders add some much needed size and a player who seems to play at his best when the game is on the line. Niederriter has been known to be a go to guy in key situations and scores big goals. He has a wicked shot and doesn't shy away from playing the body. Needless to say, he isn't like anyone on the team as of now. Nino is the youngest player in the draft only being 17 and made the eligibility by a few days, should have the opportunity to go back to the Portland Winter Hawks and enjoy another development season, but you never know do you.
Snow later revealed to reporters that he attempted to move back (again to hopefully take Niederriter) at a later pick but the deal never materialized. He also stated he tried to move up to nab either Fowler or Gormley while they were in free fall but weas unable to make a deal.
He did in fact make a deal with the Stanley Cup Champion Blackhawks for the 30 (and last pick) in the 1st round. The Islanders traded their 35th and 57th (acquired from Ottawa through San Jose) in the Andy Sutton deal to get the 30th pick. The Islanders, much like last year when they went all the way to 12 to select Calvin deHaan, Snow and assistant GM Ryan Jankowski identified "their" guy and went after him. They selected big center Brock Nelson with the 30th pick out of Warroad Minnesota. After his media scrum, was greeted by Islander Right Wing and fellow Minnesotian (not sure if that's even a word, but it sounds good) Kyle Okposo. Nelson is another big boy standing at almost 6'3" tall and is already over 200lbs. He will attend North Dakota this fall.
Nelson was ranked 26th by ISS and had an outstanding year at MN High School level this year averaging nearly 1.5 points a game. He projects to be a good secondary scoring option and someone who brings tons of energy every time he hits the ice. He needs to work on his quickness and his skating some, but his hands are top notch and is excellent with the puck. Not afraid to play the body either.
You have to give credit to Garth Snow and Ryan Jankowski as they definitely have a plan, and are sticking to it. The Islanders have had 4 first round selections the past 2 years and their growing list of prospects seems to get more and more impressive. He hasn't steered away from this plan in the least, even at the deadline this past season, with the playoffs within reach he would not mortgage his future. Considering the Islanders are under the salary cap floor for this coming season, starting Thursday July 1st, the team should be a tad active in the market. Though they will not be bringing home Ilya Kovalchuk, they could add some grit and some secondary scoring options like Alexei Ponikarovski or even an Eric Nystrom. They may look to add a defenseman as well, though I believe the above mentioned areas are most important.
Listing the Islanders top 10 Prospects…
1. Nino Niederriter LW
2. Calvin deHaan D
3. Travis Hamonic D
4. Jesse Joensuu LW
5. Kirill Petrov LW
6. Matt Donovan D
7. Aaron Ness D
8. Rhett Rakhshani RW
9. Mikko Koskinen G
10. Casey Cizikas C
Now add John Tavares, Kyle Okposo, Josh Bailey, Andrew MacDonald, Jack Hillen and you'll see the amount of talent Snow and Co. has been able to put together the past 4 years.
Hopefully the Islanders will be able to get back into the 2nd round and choose a player (like John McFarland or Kirill Kabanov) with a home run pick as they have already drafted a player they really wanted, and a player they can develop. Selecting either one of these wild cards could make this an A+ draft for Snow and the scouting folks.
Enjoy the rest of the draft, I will be celebrating my daughter's 1st birthday tomorrow so I won't be online, though I will be posting on Twitter throughout the day.

It's easy to get lost in the hype of The Avengers and Dark Knight Rises marketing stuff. There is a ton of it and quite frankly it's all incredibly awesome. We must not however, overlook all the dope things dropping for the upcoming Spiderman reboot The Amazing Spiderman directed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifan. We've had posters drop, trailers upon trailers unleashed upon us and now we have a spectacular final poster to gaze upon lovingly.
It is quite pretty and of course I want to see the Avengers, Men In Black III and The Dark Knight Rises however, my desire to see The Amazing Spiderman is pretty high as its shaping up to be a fantastic film.
Check out the poster and see you Opening Weekend.
