During my first pregnancy certain odors were triggers for potential barfing. For example, I love to cook with sesame oil but could not be in the room with it while I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. Instead, I pretty much lived on bland soda crackers—they're all I could keep down.
Morning sickness refers to periodic episodes of nausea common during the early months of pregnancy. It can happen at any time of day (or night), but generally ends around the third or fourth month.
Pregnancy is not without very real—and sometimes very annoying—symptoms. Particularly during a first pregnancy, your hormones will very likely treat you to such wonderful experiences as the legendary morning sickness. Your body is preparing itself for the process of gestation. Each person has a different threshold for tolerating nausea but for some it can be quite debilitating. It usually settles down after a few weeks but sometimes can plague you throughout the entire pregnancy.
And by the way, although it's commonly called morning sickness, you can experience nausea at any time of day or night. A good way to ward off the queasies is to stick to bland foods like soda crackers or dry toast. Fluids also help. If you are actually vomiting, make sure you replace your fluids and electrolytes with drinks designed for that purpose. Gatorade or other sports drinks can help.
Restricting your diet to accommodate your morning sickness can be tough—especially if old favorites of your prepregnancy days are now triggering the nausea response. Just keep in mind that this, too, shall pass. And promise yourself a great post-pregnancy reward of all the foods you're denying yourself now.
So many physical changes happen when you are pregnant that it sometimes feels as though you're only renting your body and are at the mercy of an absentee landlord. During your first trimester you will very likely feel greater fatigue than you have ever felt before.
Listen to what your body is telling you. When you are tired do your best to catch a nap. If you're working during your pregnancy, even a few minutes with your head down on your desk can make a big difference—you might want to put a co-worker on "snore alert," just in case. Don't try to overcome the drowsiness with caffeine; it is not good for you or your baby.
A nine-month pregnancy is usually divided into three 3-month-long periods, called trimesters. Certain changes or symptoms—like morning sickness—are commonly experienced in particular trimesters but not in others.
Even if you're one of the many lucky ones who don't have to deal with morning sickness, you'll probably still find your food preferences changing. For some reason, foods you might not have been crazy about before can start to taste incredibly delicious. (For me it was Japanese food, but you should skip the sushi—it's not recommended during pregnancy.)
You may even experience that old stereotype of pregnancy: food cravings. Don't feel guilty! Although there's no hard-and-fast scientific proof, many doctors believe that some cravings are actually your body's way of telling you what you need. For example, a craving for very salty foods may indicate that your body is in a stage of doubling the volume of blood in your uterus to accommodate the needs of the baby—a process that depletes your system of its normal complement of salt.
At one point in my pregnancy I became lightheaded whenever I rose quickly from a chair or bed. Of course, I panicked. But my doctor said not to worry. He told me to drink extra fluids and eat something salty like potato chips so that I could balance out the fluid my body was using for the baby.
Your hormones guide the changes that occur in your body during pregnancy. Once the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus, your body's off and running with changes designed to provide everything your baby needs—and everything you need to ultimately give birth.
But while your hormones are making these changes, you might find yourself more absentminded than usual. Do not worry about this too much—it's a very common occurrence during pregnancy. Just accept that you may need some extra sets of keys. The worst of it is the teasing you may end up taking when you space out every once in a while.
As your pregnancy progresses your body is going to fill out. For some women this means more cleavage than ever. And, for some women, this is a welcome change—it can make you feel very womanly. But for other women it can be an unwelcome change—the extra weight in the chest changes both posture and carriage, and can be uncomfortable.
While you are gaining cleavage you are also filling out in the hips—and certainly in the stomach. This was nothing new to me, a lifetime weight watcher, but for some women the change in shape can be depressing.
If your partner's empathy for your pregnancy symptoms isn't all you'd like it to be, drop him a reminder of his role in this whole process. A little creatively applied guilt works wonders, since men are generally baffled by this whole "woman" thing.
I didn't eat for two during my first pregnancy—I ate for 23! So I took a little longer than most to regain my prepregnancy shape. When I got around to it, however, I lost the weight and was in great shape for the deliveries of both my second and third children. So don't obsess over your weight during pregnancy. Use good sense in your food choices but do not allow concern about your changing figure to make you feel down about yourself. Tell yourself how beautiful you are, because you are beautiful.
And it certainly takes some getting used to: As you begin to show you lose your waist and fill out in all kinds of directions. This is a very good thing for your baby and your skeletal system, but initially it can interfere with your sense of balance. Never fear—your body will find its equilibrium eventually, so you won't topple over with the weight of the baby.
Again, your attitude will determine how well you accept the physical changes that occur during the course of your pregnancy. Remember that your bodily changes are all natural aspects of preparing for the birth of your child. You will not always be built as though you are carrying a basketball under your ribcage. And with a little effort, once the baby's born you can completely regain your prepregnancy shape.
If you are eating reasonably healthy foods, don't freak out when you see the scale creep up with each monthly visit to your ob-gyn. You are supposed to gain weight during pregnancy. Your baby is growing, and you have increased fluids and have changing nutritional needs. The thing to keep in mind is that if you're not taking care of yourself nutritionally, your body will fill your baby's needs at your expense.
Make sure that you take a good prenatal vitamin and that you eat well. Do not even consider restrictive diets or excessive exercise. Your doctor will advise you if your weight gain or loss is healthy or not.
Most of all, don't let yourself obsess about your changing figure. You have many more important and rewarding things to think about when you're having a baby—why waste time worrying about how your shape has changed?
Rather than focus on your changing girth, concentrate on the positive physical changes of pregnancy. For one thing, during pregnancy your hair thickens and becomes shinier. You may also find that your nails are stronger and grow faster than usual. During a first pregnancy, why not indulge yourself with manicures? If you're worried about toxins and chemicals, there are toluene-free nailpolishes available to keep baby free from chemical exposure. You might not be able to wear your rings if you retain fluids, but at least your nails will be nice.
And don't forget that well-known glow—it's real! Your body is working overtime to keep all your internal systems working at peak efficiency—your blood circulation and hormonal system in particular. You really do end up with rosier cheeks and clearer skin during pregnancy.
Many of the changes that occur during pregnancy are not visible. In fact, you may be the only one completely aware of what is going on inside you. You may find that during pregnancy you become what I call hormotional—experiencing those bouts of unexplainable weepies or grouchies that every pregnant woman seems to get.
Don't let the mood swings get you down—hormotionalism is a perfectly natural aspect of being pregnant and it is your right as a woman to be as hormotional as you please. Indulge your moods if you can, but remember that your partner won't always understand what's going on. If he protests about your unpredictable moods, just remind him that you are pregnant—and leave it at that.
Your emotions will balance out, once your hormones settle down. But until that happens, be careful: If you get the weepies you may have a tendency to allow all your fears to surface. You may even have scary, pregnancy-related dreams (a common one is that you have had your baby but you keep leaving it places). While it's normal to have a few fears when you are adjusting to the concept of being responsible for another living thing, don't let yourself obsess.
Most people need time to adjust to the idea of taking on the responsibility of a baby—someone who'll be completely dependent on you, at least for a while. And nine months of pregnancy seems to be just long enough to allow you to become utterly terrified, if you let that happen. But you're not the first to feel those fears, and you won't be the last. What you will do, eventually, is work through your fears.
One way to work past any fears you have is to turn them on their heads. Instead of focusing on your doubts ("It's such a big responsibility…how can I live up to it?"), concentrate on the opportunity that pregnancy offers: Your role as a mother is really one of the most precious and important things you can do with your life. It will have far-reaching impact and could influence future generations.

Regulators Examine Trading After Twitter Hoax
Regulators said Wednesday they were looking into trading that took place Tuesday after a Twitter hoax briefly sent markets careening.
Commodity Futures Trading Commissioner Bart Chilton said agency officials were looking into the trading of 28 heavily traded futures contracts during a five-minute period after a false tweet from the Associated Press's Twitter feed said there were two explosions at the White House and President Barack Obama was injured. A group identifying itself as the Syrian Electronic Army claimed responsibility for the fake tweet.
AP quickly said the tweet was the result of an outside group's hack, but by then the market had already nose-dived. Automatic trading systems had pulled back from trading or started selling as the decline accelerated, potentially turning what was a short-lived dip into a dramatic selloff that erased some $200 billion from the stock market.
A number of futures contracts also fell sharply, including the heavily traded E-mini contract, which is tied to the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. The market snapped back within minutes, and stocks ended the day in the black.
The selloff "raises larger questions about how technology is used" in the market, Mr. Chilton, a Democrat, told The Wall Street Journal. "Somebody lost money, and not everybody who got out got back in."
Securities and Exchange Commissioner Luis Aguilar on Wednesday also asked SEC staff to launch an inquiry into the hoax and the market action, he said in a statement emailed to The Wall Street Journal.
An SEC spokesman said the agency planned to conduct a review of Tuesday's trading, noting that it was standard practice for regulators to review any unusual trading activity.
"Where it appears that the securities markets have been manipulated in violation of the federal securities laws, the SEC should undertake a serious inquiry," Mr. Aguilar said. "That is true regardless of the method used."
Mr. Aguilar, a Democrat, said at present "no one knows the perpetrator of the hoax or the motive behind the hoax."
Mr. Aguilar said the SEC "needs to keep current on how technology is intersecting with, and effecting, the markets we regulate."
The regulator recently gave the green light to companies to release important information through social-media platforms such as Twitter.

BEECH BOTTOM - Debbie Murdock of Beech Bottom enjoys working with children, she loves the village she's called home since 2004 and she's combined those two loves in serving her community.
On Tuesday Murdock was recognized by Beech Bottom Council as the village's 2012 Citizen of the Year.
Murdock was employed by the Head Start Center at Beech Bottom Primary School and became a substitute aide for Brooke County Schools, so it's not surprising that many of her community endeavors involve children.

CITIZEN OF THE YEAR — Debbie Murdock was recognized as Beech Bottom's Citizen of the Year at Tuesday's Beech Bottom Council meeting. Mayor George Lewis presented Murdock a plaque commemorating the honor. Her name also will be added to a plaque bearing the names of past recipients and displayed at the Beech Bottom Municipal Building. - Warren Scott
Mayor George Lewis noted Murdock has been a regular helper with the community Christmas party organized by his wife, Judy; has collected canned goods for local families in need with the help of her three children, Shelby, Steven Jr. and Samantha; and served as a site manager for teens performing various tasks for the village through the state's Summer Youth Work program.
"There were days when she was working harder than the kids," Lewis said.
Beech Bottom Councilman Bob Sadler added Murdock and her family also have participated in the village's annual community cleanup effort, which involves residents of all ages.
"The village does a lot with the community and the kids," Murdock said, and that's why she has enjoyed living in Beech Bottom.
A native of Windsor Heights, Murdock moved to the village with her husband, Steven, who had family there.
Asked if she was surprised to receive the award, she said, "Yeah, I didn't even know I was nominated."
Lewis said Murdock was one of several residents nominated by community members for the honor, and it was difficult for council to select one.
He presented a plaque, framed certificate and $25 VISA gift card to Murdock and noted her name will be added to the names of several past recipients on a plaque displayed at the Beech Bottom Municipal Building.
In other business:
Council agreed to purchase six lights, at a cost of about $2,000, for the Municipal Building's entrances and police sign. Councilman Ted Westfall said the bulbs will be light-emitting diodes, which are said to be more energy efficient.
Westfall said work on the building is nearly completed. The building has undergone $32,000 in renovations, including the addition of a stucco-like facade aimed at improving its heating and cooling costs and covering areas where the brick was crumbling.
Lewis said he would like to have a ribbon cutting and invite representatives of Chesapeake Energy and Range Resources, which contributed funds for the project.
Council approved year-end bonuses for its employees, with salaried staff to receive $160 and hourly staff to receive 10 times their hourly rate.
Council made plans to interview a candidate for village solicitor. Joseph Barki III, the village's current legal counsel, has resigned because he will be serving as Brooke County prosecutor in January.
Asked about the presence of feral or stray cats in her neighborhood, Murdock said it continues to be a problem. She added she believes someone is trying to poison the cats because a neighbor's dog was seen with bleach on it and her own dog has died from poisoning.
City Police Chief Dan Casto said County Dog Warden Chuck Shreve has been alerted of the problem.
Lewis said a resident of Third Street again has requested a streetlight near her home. He said council had agreed to have a contractor trim trees overhanging the street first in an effort to make the area brighter.
Lewis said that has been delayed but will be done soon, and then council may consider whether that's addressed the problem.
Lewis said the Beech Bottom Post Office will be cutting its hours of service to 8 a.m. to noon but the lobby will be kept open until 5 p.m. so customers may have access to their post office boxes.
Judy Lewis said so far about 30 children have signed up for the village's Christmas party and donations are being sought from area businesses.

Plain English Campaign are supporting the campaign from Consumer Focus Wales to get rid of financial gobbledygook.
Chrissie Maher says, "It's disgraceful that banks and insurance companies have such a hold over us through their use of language. Often it means the customer is left with little clarity, and all the responsibility. Terms and conditions, credit-card agreements, overdraft letters - they might as well be in a foreign language. English is my first language and I struggle with this financial gobbledygook. Goodness knows how anyone with English as a second language can cope."
Have takeovers overtaken the customer?

Corporate buy-outs, buy-ins, mergers and alliances are all a normal part of the daily life of big business. But what effect do these have on our bank accounts and insurance policy terms?
Financial gobbledygook often clouds the relationship we have with banks and, in turn, our hard-earned money. Since Plain English Campaign started its fight against jargon, some organisations have brought plain English communication to their customers. As businesses must make sure their profits continue to soar, they must also continue to keep clear lines of communication open with their customers, even amidst potentially complex takeovers and mergers.

This effort aims to give the public a better understanding of the details contained in their eye prescription so they can then use that information responsibly.
Chrissie's honorary fellowship acceptance speech

Well, Sex in the City I am not!
Nor am I the greatest scriptwriter, namely Phil, my hero.
But I am a scouser, and proud of it.
I love Liverpool and its people, and to be honoured by Liverpool's greatest university is beyond my wildest dreams.
I just wanted to be a beacon, a light of hope to those who, like me grew up believing they had nothing to give.
Have you any idea how exciting it is for someone, like me, with so little education to be standing here?
I had no early education and only learnt to read and write when I was 14.
My family lived in a slum and there was no welfare state then for a mother with six kids.
But, with God's help and a scouser's determination, I came to meet Harry Deveril, a Liverpudlian with a big heart who paid for me to go to night school.
Later, the guiding hands of the John Moores Foundation provided the expertise, advice, practical help, and unending encouragement that led me to found Plain English Campaign over 30 years ago. Plain English Campaign has become a respected, worldwide beacon for people struggling with the gobbledygook in public information that affects their daily lives.
Together with supporters of Plain English Campaign, we have built a global industry that started right here, like so many other great things, in Liverpool.
And, this awareness continues into the future with the recent plain English constitution produced by your university student's union.
So it's with pride and gratitude that I accept this honorary fellowship - a symbol of true friendship from this University.
I hope I can make you proud.
I survived poverty to make something out of nowt.
Imagine what dreams you can build with a degree.
Everyday I live my dream, and laugh as much as I can.
The world is yours - go get it - let your light shine bright.

It wasn't the first honour to be placed on Chrissie's shoulders in recognition of her lifelong fight for clearer public communications, but the Honorary Fellowship from Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) held the most poignant memories for this grandmother in her seventies.
With an illiterate childhood in an inner-city slum of post-war Liverpool, education itself was a distant dream for Chrissie. To find herself standing beneath the great naves of Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral, with thousands of LJMU graduates also receiving acknowledgement for their years of hard work, was beyond Chrissie's wildest dreams.

Fahrenheit 451: Fahrenheit 451 (Audio Cassette)
Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires...
The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning...along with the houses in which they were hidden.
Guy Montag enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for ten years, and he had never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames...never questioned anything until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid.
Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think...and Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do!
About the Author
In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2011 at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. He wrote the screen play for John Huston's classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

In an algebraic topology course I'm taking we are often asked to compute the homology groups of a space $X = A \cup B$ using the Mayer-Vietoris sequence, and it happens in all of the examples I've seen so far that it's possible to do this without knowing anything about the connecting homomorphisms $\partial_{\ast}$ (say on the level of chains); we only end up needing $H_{\ast}(A), H_{\ast}(B), H_{\ast}(A \cap B)$ and possibly some of the inclusion maps.
My guess is that this is not a typical situation; is there a relatively simple example of a nice space $X$ and nice subspaces $A, B$ such that knowing $H_{\ast}(A), H_{\ast}(B), H_{\ast}(A \cap B)$ is not enough to compute $H_{\ast}(X)$ without knowing the specific form of the connecting homomorphisms? (For maximal relevance to the course $X, A, B, A \cap B$ should be finite simplicial complexes.)

Ex-Trader Admits to Fraud
In late 2007, with a seven-figure bonus and his reputation at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS -1.07 % on the line, Matthew Taylor placed an $8.3 billion futures bet and hid it from his bosses. Now, he faces a possible long prison sentence.
On Wednesday, Mr. Taylor pleaded guilty to a single count of wire fraud for concealing the trades, which cost Goldman $118.4 million to unwind. He told a federal judge he made the big bets to boost his reputation and bonus at the bank.
"I accumulated this trading position and concealed it for the purpose of augmenting my reputation at Goldman and increasing my performance-based compensation," Mr. Taylor said at a hearing in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday. "I am truly sorry for my actions."
Prosecutors recommended a sentencing-guidelines range of two years and nine months to three years and five months in prison. The range was based in part on Mr. Taylor's compensation for 2007—$150,000 in salary and an expected $1.6 million bonus—rather than the loss suffered by Goldman.
But the judge in the case sent a signal that the ex-trader might face an even stiffer sentence. U.S. District Judge William Pauley III questioned why prosecutors, in negotiating a plea agreement, didn't seek a longer potential sentence. "He cooked the books," the judge said.
Sentencing is set for July 26.
Wednesday's plea is the latest twist in the case of a young trader whose career went off track in the final days of 2007, just as the securities industry was bracing for the looming crisis.
It also comes as time is running out for prosecutors and regulators to bring actions related to the events that occurred in the months leading up to and during the downturn.
Mr. Taylor attended high school in suburban Boston, where his guidance counselor, Adelaide Greco, remembers him as the class valedictorian once named "most likely to succeed." While enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he returned to his high school to talk to students about achieving one's dreams, Ms. Greco said. "Kids looked up to him," she said.
From MIT, Mr. Taylor headed to Wall Street. He worked for Morgan Stanley MS -0.45 % from 2001 until 2005, then landed at Goldman.
By November 2007, Mr. Taylor was an equity-derivatives trader on Goldman's Capital Structure Franchise Trading desk and had lost a "significant portion" of the trading profits he had accumulated earlier that year, according to criminal charging documents filed by prosecutors Wednesday.
Because of his lost profits and the general market conditions, his supervisors ordered him to rein in the risks he was taking. By December, they had told him his annual bonus would decline "significantly," according to the document.
In mid-December, Mr. Taylor ratcheted up the size of his bet on electronic futures contracts tied to the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock Index, accumulating a position with a face value of $8.3 billion.
That figure, court records show, exceeded the risk limits for his entire desk at Goldman, a group of about 10 traders.
At the same time, Mr. Taylor also made false trade entries that appeared to take the opposite side of that bet. The purpose, according to court records: "to conceal and understate the true size" of his long position on so-called S&P 500 E-mini futures.
Goldman fired Mr. Taylor on Dec. 21, 2007, for "alleged conduct related to inappropriately large proprietary futures positions in a firm trading account," the bank wrote in a filing submitted to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which oversees broker-dealers.
Goldman agreed to pay $1.5 million in December to settle civil charges by the CFTC that it failed to supervise Mr. Taylor. The agency also said in its complaint against the bank that it wasn't fully forthcoming with regulators when Mr. Taylor was fired. Goldman settled the charges without admitting or denying wrongdoing.
The bank cooperated in the probe, according to a person familiar with the investigation. "We are very disappointed by Mr. Taylor's unauthorized conduct and betrayal of the firm's trust in him," a Goldman spokeswoman said Wednesday.
The episode didn't bring an immediate end to Mr. Taylor's Wall Street career. In March 2008, he returned to Morgan Stanley as trader in the firm's equities division. He left Morgan Stanley a second time last August, according to Finra.
A person familiar with the matter said Morgan Stanley executives were aware of Goldman's Finra disclosures on Mr. Taylor's termination, but had no reason to suspect the trader had been accused of concealing billions of dollars in positions and misleading his employer.
Mr. Taylor surrendered to Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. Following the hearing on Wednesday, Mr. Taylor, who lives in Florida, was released on a $750,000 bond.
The CFTC, which regulates futures trading, still has a civil lawsuit pending against Mr. Taylor.

Going Topless: How to Replace a Convertible TopWritten by on December 12, 2003 If You're Going to Drop Your Top, at Least Have a Good One
Although a matter of debate, for us there is no better ride than one in a convertible. Whether cruising around town or flying up the interstate with the top down, it's easy to forget about the past workweek and enjoy the weekend--nothing but open road, blue skies, and sunshine. The down side is over the years, weather and improper care have left your convertible top with a less than stellar appearance. Many tops are in such bad shape the owners refuse to put them up, reducing drive time during the year. Let's face it--if there is even just a chance of rain and your top is in bad shape, are you going to go for a ride?
Such was the case of Dave and Amy Young's '68 B-Body. Recently purchased, the B-Body has been left to weather the elements, and a new top was the first of the repairs to be made.
We contacted Hydro-E-lectric, in Punta Gorda, Florida, to get our new top and back glass. Originally, the '68 came with a plastic rear window. It doesn't take much neglect for the plastic to form a yellowish tint, making it impossible to see through, so we opted for a glass rear window. Hydro-E-lectric supplies everything from top-lifting cylinders to hoses and latches. Convertible-top replacement is not a job for the faint of heart. It can be a trying task, but if you take your time and measure twice before you cut, it can be done. You'll need a friend's help (that way if something goes wrong, you have somebody to blame).
On the morning of the top install, Florida weather was true to form; the ride in the rain to Emo's Upholstery in Lakeland, Florida, confirmed our suspicions--man, did the roof leak. Even though it took Emo only the better part of a half day, he's been doing the job for quite some time. Plan on it taking a little more time if you do it yourself.
We asked Emo what he thought it would take to give our top the longest life possible in the Florida sun. His personal favorite is Formula 2001, by Turtle Wax. He has used it as a cleaner and protectant for quite some time. When your new top is finished, it's a good idea to leave it up for a week or so, and if it has small wrinkles, parking it in the sun can help remove them.

Begin by unhooking the hydraulic cylinder from the top mechanism(arrow). This will allow you to lift the top halfway in order to get tothe seals and perimeter tack strips.With the top half open, remove the side-window top seals and the metalstrip that screws to the top frame and retains the top material. Beginby pulling the seals free, and then unscrew the metal seal retainers.Next, remove the header seal by sliding it out of the retainer. No, thisisn't a special effect; Emo is just so quick he's a blur.After you remove the header seal, remove the screws that hold theretainer in place and remove it. This will enable you to see where thefront of the top is glued to the frame.(A) Here is the side-window seal retainer being removed. (B) After youremove the retainer, peel the top material from the framework.Remove the chrome end caps on the roof welting that runs from side toside, and then remove the welting.
Following Emo's example, after you work the top loose from the metalframework, remove the rear window panel. This piece of the top is madefrom a separate panel and attaches individually at the top of the lastbow with staples.When it comes time to remove the staples left behind in the tack strip,be gentle. From the factory, this is only a pressboard material, and ifyou destroy it, an aftermarket material will need to be installed.Under the canvas top is a padding that runs front to back on the sides.To remove it, take out the screws holding it to the header and work itto the back. It should be fastened in the front and back only.After you unsnap and remove the well liner, remove the tack strip thatthe top material fastened to. To do this, remove the screws (or bolts)holding the top to the body, and then lift it all out.Remove the tack strips from the old top. Don't get the tack strips mixedup or turned upside down; if you do, the holes to attach them to thebody won't line up.Now attach the new foam and its wrap. The foam and covering wrap arewider at the back than at the front. Fasten the wrap with the screws inthe front, and then gently pull it taut and staple it to the rear topbow.
(A) Cut the wrapped foam along the contour at the header, and flushbehind the rear bow where you attached it (B).Sometimes it helps to measure the distance from the bottom of the windowto where the tack strip attaches. We chose instead to use the suppliedmarks as our reference point. We marked them with a pencil to make themeasier to see.Lay the middle piece of the top-well tack strip on the bench, and, afterlocating the center of the rear-window panel and tack strip, attach thepanel.After you attach the center panel, continue to attach the sail panels tothe side tack strips. Remember, we followed the factory-supplied marks.Now the top can be attached to the tack strips. Again, we used thefactory-supplied marks to attach the top.Don't forget to reinstall the tensioning wires on the sides. These keeptension on the side edges of the top and slide through pockets in thetop. They then attach to the top frame.
The window panel has a centering mark at the top and aligns with a markon the rear top bow. Fold the main portion of the top back over thetrunk, exposing the top of the window panel. Attach the rear-windowpanel to the rear bow first.You should be able to pull the side-panel flap around the framework andhave no large wrinkles, but if you do have them, remove the tackstrip--with the top--from the body. Move the material slightly lower onthe tack strip to remove the wrinkles. Small wrinkles can be removedwith the careful use of a hair dryer or heat gun. Don't get the materialtoo tight, or the top will not go up when finished.When you have the rear of the top properly attached, join the frameworkto the windshield, pull the top material taut, and mark the edge of theheader with a pencil. This mark will be crucial in the next step.
After you have reattached the tensioner wire, there is a flap thatattaches to the side of the top framework. This is only on the frontcouple inches of the top, near the header.The welting can now be installed along the top, above the rear window.Attach the welting with staples, fold it over itself, and cap it at theends.Finally, the top is folded down, and the header-seal retainer isreinstalled on the car. First, install the new seal between the roof andthe seal retainer, and fasten the retainer to the header.The new top seals from Steele Rubber Products are exact replacements. Asbad as our old seals looked, it was a good idea to change them. Replacethe seals in the reverse order you removed them, and voila--a new coverover your cockpit.

Many survivors who have previously received or are currently undergoing chemotherapy report experiencing cognitive changes, often referred to as "chemo-brain." These changes include difficulty with short term memory, multi-tasking, new learning, reading comprehension, working with numbers and a decrease in concentration ability. For many years, this was attributed by physicians and researchers to depression or anxiety over the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. More recently, researchers have begun to study and document what survivors have been saying all along; cognitive changes after chemotherapy are real. Although we are not yet able to pinpoint whether only certain chemotherapy drugs are responsible, it seems certain that the effects are cumulative. That is, those who receive more chemotherapy tend to experience greater deficits. Studies have found that cognitive ability can improve over time in some survivors, but deficits are still present in many long-term survivors, even years after treatment. Each person's experience is unique, making it difficult to predict what deficits, if any, a person will experience, and whether or not they will persist after treatment.
In recent years, a number of studies have been reported, many showing some level of decline in brain function in cancer survivors post therapy, although some studies have not found any change. The effect can be a worsening of a pre-existing cognitive issue, or a new change in function. Some study participants worsen during therapy and gradually improve after, while others find their impairments are long-lasting, if not permanent.
What are these cognitive effects exactly? Survivors identify changes in attention / concentration, processing speed, verbal and visual memory, multitasking, word finding, and difficulty with organization. These effects can lead to an inability to perform one's job, difficulty managing family/home responsibilities and even social withdrawal for fear of embarrassment. Family, friends and co-workers often expect the survivor to be "back to normal", only adding to the stress of cognitive changes.
It is important to remember that some very treatable problems can result in cognitive difficulties, such as thyroid dysfunction, depression and anxiety, so it is important to exclude or treat these diagnoses. Hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels) is a common issue for survivors and can make you feel "fuzzy" or "out of it." This is easily treatable with supplemental thyroid hormone. Survivors who may be depressed or experiencing anxiety would benefit from consulting with a psychiatrist or psychologist experienced in working with cancer patients or survivors. Don't just assume your cognitive concerns are due to chemo-brain.
Unfortunately, research into cognitive dysfunction is in its infancy. We can take some lessons from research in dementia and Alzheimer disease in combination with common sense to develop some tips to regaining and/or optimizing your brainpower.
Researchers are studying some medications as potential treatments for cognitive changes, but there is not yet enough data to support their use. These include medications used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Alzheimer disease, dementia, depression and narcolepsy. Many of these medications stimulate the brain and therefore may result in improved concentration, memory and attention, as well as fatigue. Along the same lines, caffeine is an over the counter stimulant that improves cognitive function for millions of people every day. It is a relatively safe way for many people to stimulate their brain function.
Ginkgo biloba is often promoted as a memory enhancer, but studies have not found this to be true. One large study of elderly patients found no decrease in Alzheimer's disease, and actually saw an increase in dementia and stroke in the group taking the supplement. Ginkgo biloba increases the risk of bleeding and should be used with caution. As with all herbal therapies, just because they are touted as "natural" does not mean they do not have side effects. Investigate the possible side effects of any supplement, as well as the reputation of the manufacturer and their products. Vitamin E, in safe doses, may be beneficial to brain health. However, Vitamin E can also interfere with medications such as blood thinners. Do not take any supplement without first checking with your provider.
Cognitive rehabilitation programs are structured programs utilizing exercise, tasks that use memory and puzzles to "rehabilitate" one's mind. These programs are typically used for people with brain injuries, but therapists have tailored programs for cancer survivors. A number of companies offer computer programs that aim to improve brain function. There are currently studies ongoing looking at the effectiveness of these programs in cancer survivors, so stay tuned.
Puzzles using numbers, like Sudoku, may help "exercise" your brain. It is likely that any brain stimulation may be helpful and certainly cannot hurt, whether through a game, taking a course at a local school, or joining a book discussion club.
Fatigue can enhance cognitive problems, so avoiding fatigue by getting enough sleep, incorporating exercise into your life and eating a healthy diet.
There is no "quick fix" for chemo-brain. It is important to be creative and incorporate things into your daily life that can help combat the symptoms.

Trends in Foodborne Illness in the United States, 2012
Each year, foodborne illness, commonly known as food poisoning, affects about 48 million people in the United States. Food poisoning can happen anywhere, to anyone, and from foods we might not expect. Public health surveillance, such as that conducted by the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet), provides needed data for tracking trends.
FoodNet: Report Card for Food Safety
Each year, FoodNet reports on the changes in the number of people sickened with foodborne infections that have been confirmed by laboratory tests.
Foodborne diseases monitored through FoodNet include infections caused by the bacteria Campylobacter, Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O157 and non-O157, Shigella, Vibrio, and Yersinia, and the parasites Cryptosporidium and Cyclospora. The data collected by FoodNet also lets CDC, its partners, and policy makers know how much progress has been made in reaching national goals for reducing foodborne illness.
Highlights of the 2012 FoodNet Data
Data from FoodNet, which monitors 15% of the US population, provide the best measure of trends in foodborne disease in the United States. Overall, the 2012 FoodNet data showed a lack of recent progress in reducing foodborne infections and highlight the need for improved prevention.
- FoodNet identified 19,531 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection.
- The incidences of laboratory-confirmed Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 and non-O157, Shigella, and Yersinia infection were highest among children aged <5 years.
- The incidences of Listeria and Vibrio infection were highest in adults aged ≥65 years.
- The incidences of laboratory-confirmed Listeria, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157, and Yersinia infection did not change significantly in 2012 compared with 2006–2008.
- Campylobacter was the second most common infection reported in FoodNet (14.3 cases reported per 100,000 population). Incidence of infection was 14% higher in 2012 compared with 2006–2008.
- Campylobacter infections are usually self-limited, but may result in severe complications such as Guillain-Barré syndrome (a type of paralysis), and arthritis.
- Exposures related to Campylobacter infection include consumption of undercooked poultry, raw milk, produce, untreated water, and contact with young animals.
- Vibrio infections are rare (0.41 cases reported per 100,000 population). Incidence of Vibrio infection was 43% higher in 2012 compared with 2006–2008.
- Some types of Vibrio infections are often serious.
- Many Vibrio infections are acquired by eating raw oysters. These infections are most common during warmer months when waters naturally contain more Vibrio organisms.
- Infections can be prevented by thoroughly cooking oysters and by not exposing wounds to bodies of warm seawater.
- As a group, the incidence of infection with six key pathogens transmitted commonly through food (Campylobacter, Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli O157, Vibrio, and Yersinia) was not significantly different in 2012 than in 2006–2008.
Long-term Trends
Comparison with the first three years of FoodNet surveillance (1996–1998) shows some clear changes:
- The incidence of infections caused by Campylobacter, Listeria, STEC O157, Shigella, and Yersinia has declined, mostly in the first years.
- The overall incidence of Salmonella was unchanged, but the incidence of some types of Salmonella have increased while others have decreased.
- The incidence of Vibrio infection is now 116% higher.
- The overall incidence of infection with six key foodborne pathogens (Campylobacter, Listeria, Salmonella, STEC O157, Vibrio, and Yersinia) was 22% lower.
Recent Efforts and Next Steps
Most foodborne illnesses can be prevented. Some progress has been made in decreasing contamination of some foods and reducing illness caused by some pathogens. Recent efforts to reduce contamination of food and prevent these illnesses include:
- Establishment in 2011 of performance standards for Campylobacter contamination of whole broiler chickens in processing plants.
- Approval of more stringent time and temperature controls for oysters after harvest to prevent Vibrio vulnificus infections.
- The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011: It gives FDA additional authority to regulate food facilities, establish standards for safe produce, recall contaminated foods, oversee imported foods, and which requires improvements in surveillance and response to outbreaks. It calls on CDC to strengthen surveillance and outbreak response.
More can be done. Determining where to target prevention efforts that will reduce foodborne infections requires continued collection of information to understand sources of infection, implementation of measures known to reduce food contamination, and development of new measures.

Could you please provide a general guide figure out if a piece of cookware can be used in the oven, based on what material it is made of?
The usual materials used in an oven (no matter if electric or gas) are almost all food-safe non-melting materials used for cooking vessels. If you can use it on a stove top, it should be OK for the oven too (unless it has a handle from a different material).

Rigid mountain bikes have been around since the first fat tire hit the dirt. Not only do they offer excellent handling, but they're more reliable and lighter than their bouncy counterparts. The introduction of carbon fiber as a medium for building fames and forks has reinvigorated the rigid ride with newfound comfort alongside the rest of the benefits. When Niner fist released their Carbon Fork it was the recipient of multiple awards and extensive industry recognition.
What differentiates this fork from the rest is its monocoque design, which uses optimized carbon lay-up and weaves. The steerer tube seamlessly integrates with the lowers, creating a solid transition free of stress-prone bonds, unlike the more common three-piece forks. Niner dedicated extensive resources to optimizing the fork legs' weave to take full advantage of the damping characteristics of carbon. Impact energy is dispersed throughout the entire structure, suppressing trail vibrations without compromising steering precision.
The Niner Carbon Fork has a 470mm axle to crown length. For comparison's sake, an 80mm Reba has roughly a 490mm axle-to-crown length. Factor in 20 percent sag and the axle-to-crown is about 474mm. The Niner Carbon Fork will keep your geometry similar to an 80mm suspension fork. A 45mm offset provides excellent tracking and responsive turn-in. This fork can fit up to a 180mm rotor, and does not have a rider weight limit – reflecting Niner's confidence in their quality and design. The Niner Carbon Fork comes in ten colors -- Atomic blue, Hot tamale, Green, Licorice, Moondust grey, Nude carbon, Tangerine, Arctic white, Root beer, and Solid gold -- to give you the best match for your ride.
- Monocoque carbon fiber construction is durable and damping
- Keeps frame geometry similar to a 3in travel fork
- Fits up to 185mm disc brake rotors
- No rider weight limit

Does this fork have a tapered steering tube?
It comes with both tapered and non-tapered, but it would appear that the only size left in stock (in the dropdown menu under the price) is a 1.5 taper.

School and city officials say they hope to finish, or at least make headway, on renovations to the Taunton High School stadium in time for next fall's sports season.
Poor conditions at the stadium, particularly the press box, were the focus of public input at the most recent School Committee meeting. Tony Lopes, manager of local radio station WVBF, went before the committee to describe the issues he observed first-hand at the Thanksgiving Day football game.
"It's terrible," Lopes said. It's disgusting. There are holes in the walls. There are exposed wires. The ceiling is falling down. It really, truly is a disgrace."
Lopes brought photos of the interior of the press box, which is open to the elements. He called the deteriorating structure a safety hazard.
Mayor Thomas Hoye Jr. and Superintendent of Schools Julie Hackett said they are working to address the issues.
"We're hoping by next football season," Hoye said. "We may do it in sections, but progress will be made in the next year."
The mayor estimates the stadium renovations, which will include a new press box, new bleachers, an elevator, bathrooms and plumbing, will cost between $1.5 million and $2 million.
"The bleachers need to be ADA compliant," he said. "The same with the restrooms. It's a safety item."
In recent years, a new artificial turf field was installed at the stadium as part of an extensive high school renovation project. There wasn't enough money left in the construction budget, however, to address the other deficiencies at the stadium.
"The bottom line is it needs to be completed," Hoye said. "Taunton deserves it. The kids and their families use the facilities, and we deserve a first-class facility."

seen nowhere else
We had fun making audio slide shows this season. Margery and I learned a lot from our first attempts six months ago. I think the new shows are way cooler than the ones we recorded last season. We gab about one book at a time and try give more inside information. To our delight, our audiovisual guy has artfully employed the Ken Burns effect and I am most excited to be able to show loads of photos that can't be seen anywhere else – not in the books, not on the web site. If you missed the slideshows in our weekly newsletter "Knitbits", you'll find a multimedia link on our homepage:
Check out the Peruvia slide show to see more shots of Prospera.
We have just returned from Italy (we were looking at new yarns) and some of our friends there were mimicking us: "Hi Norah","Hi Margery". If you've listened, you know what I mean LOL
I have been missing out! I did not know about KnitBits or the slide shows. I've just watched the Peruvia slide show and I am now in love with a fourth book from the Fall releases. Thank you both for adding this dimension to the designs – it's wonderful to hear you talk about them and to see the additional photos.
Must go sign up for KnitBits now….July 9, 2008

GENESEO, N.Y. -- Theater professor, playwright and cultural policy expert Lynne Conner from Colby College will deliver the inaugural lecture for a new series at the State University of New York at Geneseo that will explore contemporary issues in the arts. She will address "We the Audience" at 7 p.m. April 22 in Newton Hall Room 214. The lecture is free and open to the public.
"We are delighted to welcome Dr. Conner as our keynote speaker to launch this important new series at Geneseo," said Jonathan Gonder, dean of the School of the Arts. "She is a leading authority on how audiences experience the arts and we eagerly look forward to her visit and observations."
Conner is chair of the theater and dance department at Colby and is a theater and dance historian. Among other topics, she will examine the emerging role of social media in linking audiences with the arts and the impact such technology has on the arts community. Her current research and cultural policy initiatives are focused on the history of audience behavior and psychology to design more effective audience enrichment programming for today's cultural consumers.
Conner is a prolific speaker on the arts and has authored three books, numerous articles, scholarly papers, essays and other publications. She is currently working on a new book that will explore ways in which societies past and present most effectively invite audiences into the interpretive process.
She has received numerous awards for her work, including the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Region I Award for Ensemble Excellence for her production of "Metamorphoses" at Colby College.
Connor earned a doctorate in theater history and performance studies at the University of Pittsburgh and a master's degree in theater arts at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

Employment Information
On-Campus Employment
Students in F-1 status are allowed to work on campus as long as they are maintaining a full course of study and are in good academic standing. Some campus departments require students to obtain a letter of authorization to seek campus employment from the Office of International Programs before they will be able to seek on campus employment. Students are required to have a Social Security Number in order to work on campus.
Employment is limited to not more that 20 hours per week while classes are in session. This means Fall and Spring semesters. This is a total of all authorized employment, including off-campus, curricular practical training, and on campus employment. Working more than the allowed number of hours is considered illegal and subjects a student to potential deportation.
INS defines on campus employment as working either a) for the university the student is authorized to attend; b) for a private business which provides student services on campus; or c) for a project at an off campus location which is educationally or contractually affiliated with the university.
Government sponsored students must obtain permission from their sponsor before on-campus employment will be authorized.
Off-Campus Employment
The Immigration and Naturalization Service may grant F-1 students who have a severe, unforeseen change in their financial circumstances general off-campus work permission. To qualify for this permission, all of the following requirements must be met:
- You must have been enrolled full time in F-1 immigration status for a full academic year.
- You must be in good academic standing with Virginia Wesleyan College.
- Your sponsor as listed on your I-20 must be unable to provide you the guaranteed support due to circumstances which neither you nor your sponsor should have been able to predict and over which neither of you had any control.
- You must be unable to find sufficient employment through on campus employment options.
INS requires a high level of documentation of off-campus work permission. Students who think that they meet all these options should make an appointment at the Office of International Programs.
Practical Training
There are two types of practical training available for students: Curricular Practical Training and Optional Practical Training.
Curricular Practical Training
Paid internships for students who are attending full time school may be allowed on a full time basis during summer and other periods during which a full course of study is not required. Although this is relatively simple and quick to obtain, students must meet certain requirements for the training and must receive written permission for the training from the Office of International Programs.
To qualify for curricular training, you must meet the following requirements:
- You must have been enrolled full time in F-1 immigration status for a full academic year.
- You must be in good academic standing.
- You must be receiving academic credit for the internship or it must be a required part of your program.
When approved for curricular training, your I-20 ID will be noted with internship authorization. Should you change internship employers or need to extend to another term, you will be required to file another application.
There is no limit on the amount of curricular practical training you can receive, as long as it meets the above requirements. If you have a year of full time curricular training you will be ineligible for optional training.
Optional Practical Training
Students in F-1 status may receive up to 1 year of "Optional Practical Training." The Immigration and Naturalization Service to be employment which is directly related to your degree, but which is not part of your academic curriculum define this. This training may be taken during summer vacation periods, in the time period between completing all coursework for a graduate degree and finishing a thesis or dissertation or after receiving a degree. Only one-year total of optional training is allowed, regardless of how many degrees are earned.
To qualify:
- You must have been enrolled full time in F-1 status.
- You must be in good academic standing.
- You must be applying for training during a vacation period, after finishing a degree, or if you are a gradate student, in the time period between completing all your coursework and finishing your thesis or dissertation.
If applying for training after finishing the degree, you must apply during the time period, which begins 90 days before graduation and ends 60 days after graduation.
This application requires approval by INS and a fee for processing. If all requirements for the training are met, your I-20 will be endorsed with the training recommendation and forwarded to INS for approval.
Be aware that 6-8 weeks processing time is required by the INS Processing Center. Also, note carefully the date for which optional practical training after receiving a degree may be completed. If you miss the 30-day deadline after graduation, you will be ineligible to apply for permission.
Other Immigration Information
This is required when you have been out of status for one or more semesters through such actions as not attending full time or if you have been out of school entirely when not authorized. If you need to apply for reinstatement, please contact Dr. Timothy O'Rourke – 757-455-3202.
Travel and Return to the U.S.
You must have your I-20 signed for reentry. This is crucial in order for you to return to the United States. You must have a valid passport and F-1 visa. If your visa is going to expire before you return, request a new I-20 for the new visa.

Last week a kid wrote on the office white board "Give me all your cheese now!" and I attempted a translation into Chinese (mostly to practice my handwriting). I wrote 马上给我你的奶酪。 I felt like this translation was lacking emphasis, but I didn't know how to properly add it. I know that 啊 / 呀 is often used in this way, but I'm not sure if it's the correct choice to use here or where to add it. How do I increase the emphasis of this sentence instead of making it deadpan?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

To emphasise a part of a sentence, try putting the part at the end of the sentence:
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
Personally, I find Mandarin rather unsuitable for a sentence like this.
(Note that the sentence "gimme yo cheese!" sounds ridiculous in English.)
When I think about the formal nature of standardized Mandarin, I can't help but dream up a sentence like: 请把你的奶酪都给我吧
Of course, this sentence sounds pretty silly, and the 请……吧 pattern has an effect opposite of what you wanted. Ending a sentence with 啊 (or one of its similar sounding particles, e.g., 哎) would do the trick.
As suggested above: 交出你的奶酪啊! is good.
That said, I think you'd end up with better results if you resorted to a dialect (just like "gimme" is not standardized English).
As a more aggressive alternative in Mandarin, you could try: 赶快把(所有的)奶酪都给老子交出来!
This basically sounds like you are robbing someone for their cheese, which would have had the humorous effect you intended (judging by your described context), but it'd be tough to imagine an appropriate real-life scenario in which to employ this vocabulary.
...Unless you were really trying to rob somebody: 把值钱的东西都给老子交出来啊!
Disclaimer: Don't steal! Don't rob! 构建和谐社会!
I think one challenge with this question is that the original English is kind of a strange sentence, i.e., it's frankly hard to understand in what context someone would actually say "Give me all your cheese now!". I think if you provided a context, it would be easier to propose how to give proper emphasis in Chinese.
For example, let's say a teacher was doing a cheese experiment, and asked all the students to give him all their cheese, and for some reason the students didn't hear or didn't respond, the teacher might say "Give me all your cheese now!" (although even in that case it still sounds a bit strange to me).
In that situation, what needs to be emphasized is that it's a second request, which could be done by prefacing it with something like "我说" or "听到了没有". How to emphasize this sentence in Chinese is highly dependent upon the context, and the context for this particular English sentence is rather hard to fathom.
Speed and efficiency are valued. Many Chinese add:
So, 马上给我你的奶酪,快点!is also a great way to add this type of emphasis.

Tongue Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine (9780939616190)
Publisher: Eastland Press
Binding: Hardcover
Examination of the tongue, like the pulse, is one of the principal diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine. This book--newly revised in 1995--systematically describes each of the primary characteristics of the tongue (body color, shape and coating) and their significance in the clinic. It traces the historical development of tongue diagnosis and its relationship to externally- contracted disorders and the eight principals.
Featured in this revised edition are 59 color plates and accompanying case histories from the author's own practice. Other aspects of tongue diagnosis newly described in this edition include the integration of tongue and pulse diagnosis; the use of the tongue in diagnosing emotional problems; tongue diagnosis and herbal treatment; the tongue in prognosis; and special considerations regarding tongue diagnosis in children.

Still the Best Tongue Diagnosis Book
This book is one of the Great Man�s earlier, and cheaper, offerings (being first published in 1987). As expected from Maciocia, there is a huge amount of detail with entire chapters devoted to the three key tongue diagnosis areas: tongue body colour, tongue body shape and tongue coating. A number of simple black & white drawings decorate the text and are generally clear and very useful. There is also an informative section containing case histories.
There are quite a few books on tongue diagnosis around but this one remains the best, even after more than 20 years in print.

The face that looked back at me,
The eyes that beheld what is to be,
The thoughts they invoke for me to see,
Are not all that comprises the most of me.
It challenges me though, to be more than I am.
It moves me to think thoughts beyond my ken.
The mirror gives back what is given to it.
Today may I be more than I have ever been.

What are English equivalents for following Russian idiom: "best is enemy of the good"? In Russian it means that if you are going too much after perfection you may make things even worse instead of achieving of something good.

This is attributed to Voltaire as 'Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien', and occurs in English as 'The best is the enemy of the good.'
However, there appears to be a preference for 'The perfect is the enemy of the good' in American English. Of the 36 records of 'the enemy of the good' in the Corpus of Contemporary American English, 22 are preceded by 'the perfect' (and, in one instance, 'perfection'). 10 are preceded by 'the best' and 4 by 'the better'. All four records in the British National Corpus are preceded by 'the best'. It may be that the expression arose independently in the United States, but that in the UK it was a conscious translation of the French.
In English it's normally translated as:
A related sentiment with a very different tone is:
This play on the song title "Don't Worry Be Happy" though only applies to cases where incremental improvement is possible - a subset of the cases where Voltaire's saying applies. The idea is that releasing something when it still has even clear flaws can in the long term lead to better results (due to feedback, additional funding on the back of the first version, or interest from open-source contributors) than if you waited until that first version was much better.
I've seen people use the first quote to justify the second.
I've also heard this stated as
Too much of anything is good for nothing
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
In a workplace environment, I would say "Don't tempt Murphy.", implying Murphy's law (if anything can go wrong, it will) escalates the more a thing is worked on.
My friend, Steve Adelman, (now deceased) told me his personalized version - "Better is the enemy of good enough." He was an engineer and related this saying in conjunction with a story about working on a metal part. Once he was satisfied with it, he decided to add a few more improvements. As a result, the metal become "work-hardened" and broke off. As he said, you need to know when to stop. Better is the enemy of good enough.

Currently there is only one version alive at a time (0.8). While in beta, I'm guessing this will be the norm.
Once out of beta, there will probably be an upgrade period for minor versions ("1.1 is released! Update your 1.0 apps!"). However, for major versions there will be two api's running at the same time (1.0 and 2.0).
From the original API announcement:
First of all, I completely agree with Joel Potter's answer. However, here, I want to respond to the
I think that the Team needs to implement a small feature here on StackApps that was present during the private beta.
I'm referring to a small banner at the top of each page here (the ones that are usually used on Trilogy sites before planned downtimes). This banner should tell us the current status of the API and what version of the API is the newest.
Of course, once we reach multiple API versions (as explained in Joel Potter's answer), we might have this still display the latest version but also link to a page with all versions.
Well /stats indicates (current) API version

I have an Xperia X8 phone, and I'd like to know if I can install a non-Android Linux OS on it? I would like to have a light Linux Distro, like Kolibri or something like that.
There are two ways to get a custom Linux running on an embedded device, in general:
There is also Ångström Linux project that aims at porting Linux to different machines. Use it's online system builder to create a custom distribution - if you find that the machine is supported.
Always remember that in majority of cases at least some parts of the hardware will not be (yet) supported. Always have a close look at what's achievable before you start.
One might also take a different approach to the "Advanced" option, specifically in the case of Android-based devices: Since the given device runs a Linux-like kernel, you can use it with all the ready modules etc. But then you'll have to adapt the standard Linux userspace programs to play nicely with the not-really-linux core.

OPEC, whose members supply more than one in three barrels of crude consumed worldwide, said rising Chinese imports were backed by increased throughput at the country's refineries. The group quoted recent analysis saying China's oil imports could top 6 million bbl this year.
By BENOIT FAUCON
LONDON -- China could overtake the US as the world's largest
oil importer by 2014, the Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries said in a report this week, the latest
evidence of how the American shale boom is reshaping global
energy markets.
"With the shale boom in the [US] threatening to drastically
reduce America's oil import needs, China is expected to take
its place in the number one spot," OPEC said in a report posted
on its website.
OPEC, whose members supply more than one in three barrels of
crude consumed worldwide, said rising Chinese imports were
backed by increased throughput at the country's refineries.
The group quoted analysis saying China's oil imports could
top 6 million bbl this year, while the Washington-based Energy
Information Administration foresees net US oil imports could
fall below that level in 2014.
After initially downplaying the impact of the U.S. shale
boom, OPEC, whose members include rival producers from Africa,
the Middle East and Latin America -- is gradually accepting its
transformational role in markets.
In February, the group said demand for its members' oil in
2013 will be 100,000 bpd lower than previously forecast
because growing output from non-member countries, particularly
North American shale oil, will eat into their market share.
In a landmark report in November, the International Energy
Agency, which advises developed oil-consuming nations,
predicted the US would become the largest global oil producer
by 2020 while North America could turn into a net oil exporter
10 years later.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

For families to function harmoniously, they need rules. Rules and limits let everyone know what is expected of them. A set of rules that works in one family may not work in another. Setting rules about safety and family unity is important. During March, which is Parenting Awareness Week, here are some things to think about when it comes to setting family rules.
It is NORMAL for parents to be upset when kids break rules. It is NORMAL for children to say, "rules aren't fair because the parents always get to be the boss." Children want choices. They want some control over their lives. And parents want and need to feel in control at home. So, what's fair when it comes to rules?
Rules about safety are needed. Examples are: "No playing in the street;" or "No biting your sister;" or "No playing with matches." The major goal of safety rules is to keep kids from harm.
Rules about bedtime and mealtime are important. Kids need a regular routine. Children need adequate sleep to feel and be their best. Parents need time alone in the evening. Kids need proper nutrition to thrive and grow. Parents and kids feel better when mealtimes are regular and pleasant. While it is vital to have limits and rules about bedtime and meal times, it's also important to give children some choices about bedtime and meals.
Rules having to do with respect and appreciation are important and fair. Examples are, "If you're going to be more than 15 minutes late, call home;" "Before you can spend the money Grandma sent you, you need to write her a thank you note."
The goal of setting limits when kids are young is for them to grow up learning self-discipline. As children grow older they are able to take more control over and responsibility for their lives.
Too many rules can lead to conflict between parents and children. Parents have to "pick" the things which are important enough to have rules about. Examples of things that parents might want to "let go of" and let kids choose, include what to wear, whether to eat meat or veggies first, and how to style their hair.
Children are more likely to follow rules if they help create the family rules. Let them share in making decisions about things like bedtime, menus, television time and chores. Let them also help decide what will happen [consequences] if rules are broken. Discuss rules with your children. Hug and praise your children for helping you set and follow family rules.

I want to highlight all the emails that came from a particular friend. How can I do that in Gmail?
migrated from superuser.com Aug 1 '11 at 6:22
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
Just use labels and a filter.
You will now have a label on the left hand side of your inbox. Clicking this will show all emails from your friend. It will also add the label to all the emails from your friend in whatever folder they are currently in (e.g. your inbox).
Have a look at changing the colour of the label to make it stand out. As an example this is what two of mine look like:
The closest solution I can think of is to setup a filter and assign a label.
Once the label is created, you can assign a colour to it, and this is how it will look like

I have an HTC One S but I don't know where it is. I remotely installed 'Find My Phone' on it via Google Play Store. Now I want to remotely launch it. How can I do that?
Although there is not a general solution for remotely launching apps, here is a solution that applies to your situation:
First, install AndroidLost from the online Google Play Store.
Give it a little time to install to your device, then install AndroidLost Jumpstart from the online Google Play Store as well
So you have to install an arbitrary app from the Play Store as well to activate the service, but you can then go to androidlost.com to access functions to control your lost device! Including ringing an alarm ;)
EDIT 2015-01-29: Jumpstart won't help on a device with Android newer than 2.x, as in the description you can read: "Please note that google has changed the android API so this app only works on android version < 3." So not possible with a phone with 4.x to register AndroidLost later, without the physical possess of the phone.
If GPS accuracy is enough for you, Plan B is just what you need. You can remotely install it via the Play Store web interface and it activates automatically, sending the phone's coordinates to your primary Google account.
However, it can't play sounds on your device to help you narrow the location further.
Assuming that you haven't changed the default triggers for the app, you can simply text your phone from another device with:
Sourced from their instructions page.
