Put Me In, Coach
This is pretty much what I've lived in the entire pregnancy. Old sports bras. Running pants. A decent pair of New Balance.
Over the last several months I've logged hundreds of miles and spent countless hours in the gym. Running. Lifting. Visualizing. Stretching. Pushing. I've considered myself in training. For the baby's delivery.
It hasn't been easy considering how sick I've been. I'm still incredibly nauseous on a daily basis, and I've been having contractions for over a month. I'm anemic. I blacked out several times in the second trimester. I'm in constant severe pain.
(I know I sound like an asshole for complaining, and in a way I am, considering that we've escaped a lot of complications. But I don't want to pretend like this pregnancy has been a cakewalk.)
I stay this active because it makes me feel relatively better and reminds me of myself, of my own strength. And I think it will be important to be physically strong for before and after the birth.
Andrew and I refer to what's coming as The Baby Olympics or The Big Show. Even though I've intentionally avoided birthing classes and prenatal yoga and reading the labor parts of my baby books (which probably explains why I didn't fully understand the risks of carrying a breech or why we had to rush to the hospital the other night which, by the way, totally interrupted our March Madness plans), I've been actively mentally and physically preparing myself for the day. Sort of in the same way I did when I ran track in college.
(Before you say anything, yes, I realize that pushing a refrigerator out of my jayjay is drastically different than racing a 5k, for example, I'm fairly certain you don't wear Lycra and spikes in the delivery room. But I'd probably know for sure if I was actually down with the baby lit.)
The longer that Aston remains parked with his brain in my ribs, the more I wonder how likely it is that I'll even get the chance to try a vaginal delivery. Which is very discouraging. It's not that I'm some granola muncher who needs to experience natural childbirth, it's more that I've been preparing myself and working towards something that might not have the finish line that I was looking forward to. The thought of a caesarean recovery intimidates me, but it pales in comparison to the risks that Aston would face if I had a spontaneous breech birth.
So. I'm crossing all of my fingers and toes and choosing to have an open mind. No matter how the end of this pregnancy happens, I have to believe that it's really only the beginning.

The only thing that is guaranteed about pregnancy is that (believe it or not) it doesn't last forever. You will at some point no longer be pregnant, but how the baby opts to come out isn't really up to much of anyone but him (sort of). As long as you are both healthy (and that is the MOST important thing), how he arrives will matter very little in the long run. Once you have your new little son in your arms instead of your tummy, every ache, pain, and sensation of pregnancy will go away and you do indeed, begin the best journey of your life. It will be worth it, I promise.

You know those stories they tell about how you forget the pain of childbirth the minute it's all over? They're all true. The minute that little pudgy perfection is in your arms, all of this will over. You've done an amazing job, and you look fantastic.

A healthy and happy baby - that's the reward of all this crappy stuff you've had to deal with. And - as fit as you are - recovery from a C-section will be much easier than it is for those who are not in great physical shape. You've totally got this. ;)

Kelly all of your training will be worth it, if for no other reason then you will bounce back SO FAST after the birth -- much faster than if you had sat on the couch puking for 9 months.
It doesn't take much longer to recover from a C section.
It's all gonna be ok.

Getting mentally prepared to accept that this might not go how you expected it would is a great idea!
It's okay to be sad or disappointed about that. Don't feel like you can't wallow for just a little bit.
Trust me, I wallowed for a long time after my first birth went haywire at the very last minute and I ended up being a train wreck, physically and emotionally.
Letting myself wallow in my pity helped me process what had happened and move on--it was part of my healing.
And yes, of course the baby comes and it's all worth it. That part is true. It's also true that pregnancy and childbirth isn't fantastic for everyone on earth and that's ok to admit.
- March 26, 2012 at 6:04 AM
I think it's great you are working out. I did too, although I just did it because I want to be healthy.
I just want to caution you about the posts saying you will bounce back because you are in great shape. I was tiny before and worked out until the week before I gave birth, but unless you are one of those miraculous supermodels, it takes a while to feel like yourself. I'm not saying this to be a downer, but just because I was shocked after all the "you'll bounce back immediately" comments I heard. Being pregnant is a very taxing thing, and the rule of thumb is that it will take you 9 months to feel "normal" again. Maybe you'll be faster, but don't beat yourself up if you are not.

Whatever happens, it seems like you've been doing everything you can to prepare for it as best as you can. And really, that's all you can do. My thoughts will be with you and your family as the day approaches.

you are doing awesome Kelly. just hang in there. I had an unexpected c-section the first time because of my daughter's positioning (and her umbilical cord was caught). It was not bad at all and my recovery was better than most of my friends who had vaginal deliveries (and everything was where I left it which was nice!). So, even if he wasn't breach, a vaginal birth isn't a given. And being in shape will certainly help because your muscles will be ready - but don't expect to feel awesome in a month!!

In Canada anyways they've changed the recommendation for breech babies to be systematically delivered by c-section. They now say in most cases it's better for both mom and babe to be vaginal. Problem is there's a whole generation of ob that never learnt how to do breech deliveries.
If you find an older dr a vsginal delivery might not be out of the question. Good luck.

In my mind, what it all boils down to is .. no matter how he gets here, the whole point is to have Aston there with you, out in the world.. your boy in your arms.
Whether he gets there with the help of the doctors or on your own, the end result is what is important.
I had 2 babies, almost immediately after having them, I forgot almost everything.
But I had the babies :)
Wishing you three much good luck in the days ahead ... and forever~

Maybe this statement is over used and over rated, but as far as childbirth is concerned it's applicable. Relax. No really. Your muscles. For just one day let them turn to mush, don't be a runner be a soft squishy out of shape pregnant lady. I'm not joking...

I'm happy to hear you complain about your pregnancy annoyances. I'm surrounded my women who feel freakin' great when they are pregnant, and I wonder if I'm the only one. I blacked out nearly every other day during my first pregnancy, and had morning sickness (all day) until the end. Amongst other things. Anyways, I just want you to know you are not alone. And if you are considering another little one at some point in the future, just remember that not every pregnancy is the same. = ) Not that that's what you want to be worrying about right now!!!
I view childbirth like training for a marathon. It sounds like you have done all in your power to get ready,and that's awesome. And thank god you aren't prancing about it heels your whole pregnancy. You look amazing, btw!

However or whichever way little Aston comes out, it is all worth it. My Chloe was posterior (face up) and came out with the most massive cone head I've ever seen - a result of me being adamant that I was going to push her out vaginally, dang it! In the end, I needed a little forceps help but I barely even remember the hours of labour now. Childbirth is a brief blip on this motherhood journey. Enjoy it in whatever form it arrives. You're going to do great.
- March 30, 2012 at 11:54 AM
I think we're due about the same time, Kelly and I hope things go swimmingly for the both of us. I'm envious of your training and physical fitness. Between working full-time, teaching a university course, and trying to finish my Ph.D., there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day for exercise...or enough energy for me to expend exercising. I'm nervous about childbirth but keep trying to convince myself that I'm tough and will be able to get through it - no matter what is thrown at me. Best of luck in the weeks ahead.

The 14 Most Unintentionally Terrifying Statues in the World
#7. The Boll Weevil Monument -- Enterprise, Ala.
Enterprise, Ala., is your average, prosperous, polite Southern town that has gained a measure of notoriety for its supposedly rather eccentric central statue. We don't really see what makes it so special, though. See, it's just your average neoclassical statue of a robed lady holding up a WHAT THE SHIT IS THAT?
Via lndhslf72
The Boll Weevil Monument is the town's testament to the critter that destroyed the area's cotton crops in 1915. The reason behind this is understandable: The event made the townspeople convert to farming much more lucrative peanuts. What the town has decided to ignore, however, is the fact that the Boll Weevil Monument happens also to be a statue for honoring a beetle that fucked over the whole South during the Great Depression and can thus claim responsibility for countless deaths. Hold that torch up, Enterprise! Hold that torch up high!
#6. The Point Pleasant Mothman
Via Mo Kaiwen
Point Pleasant, W.Va., is one of those innumerable sleepy, anonymous little towns that make up the heartland of America. And, where some towns would decorate the town square with a statue of George Washington or Jebediah Springfield, Point Pleasant has what appears to be Robo-Mothra, waiting to take on Godzilla.
Via billy liar
Actually, that's the no-less-stupid Mothman, a mythical creature rumored to live in an abandoned TNT factory near the town and linked to a centuries-old curse, as the townspeople (at least those who are willing to discuss this at all) will happily explain to you. And what better way to celebrate the town's unique legend than a 12-foot-tall, silvery form made of red eyes and murder? And a manly thatch of chest hair?
#5. El Mesteno -- Denver
Via Lori Greig
We're assuming that if you look on the ground behind this fucker, you'll see that Satan has gotten thrown off his steed.
The Denver International Airport has something no other airport in the world has. Or, for that matter, wants. It's a statue of a horse called El Mesteno, and its demonic gaze is the very first thing greeting you when you step out of the airport building:
By Barry Gutierrez
"WELCOME TO DENVER, MORTALS. Try the fish."
Hey, did we mention that it's 32 feet tall?
El Mesteno, or "oh shit run it's the giant hellhorse" as it is more affectionately known, is the gatekeeper between you and Denver, and the price for getting any further is your soul. Which it incidentally took the second it laid those eyes on you, so you now have nothing to bargain with.
Via Denver International Airport
Yeah, we're thinking the people in charge of erecting El Mesteno probably should've taken the hint when it straight-up killed its sculptor.
#4. The Awakening -- Washington, D.C.
Via johndenugent.org
A number of iconic images are associated with Washington, D.C., the power capital of the world. The Lincoln Memorial and Capitol Hill are familiar to even the most casual moviegoer. But another monument in the city is a far more fitting analogy to the dogfight politics that take place behind every closed door of the city's power elite -- yet this one never seems to make it to the silver screen.
Via Daniel Morrison
It's an insane-looking 100-foot giant (is that Uncle Sam?) screaming its lungs out while struggling against the ground. Is this supposed to symbolize America, hopelessly struggling against quicksand? It's called The Awakening, but we're assuming that's referring to the awakening of whatever subterranean creature is dragging the old man under.
Via blahmni
#3. The Giant Eyeball -- Chicago
Via froboy
Jesus, look at that thing! You have to wonder how the logic behind building this one went.
"You know what's missing from the park?"
"No, what?"
"A three-story eyeball!"
"Come again now?"
"You heard me. Get to it."
"Yes, Azathoth the Great Conqueror will be pleased."
"Wait, what?"
"Oh, nothing. Just a cough. Now get to it."
The real horror of EYE is that you can't escape it -- it's not permanently affixed to any one spot. It's in Pritzker Park in Chicago today; tomorrow it could be in your city. It's a moving exhibition that is transported from park to park. So one night you're heading home after a big night out and you take a shortcut to your house through a familiar park, only to find yourself face to face with the 30-foot eye of Sauron. Staring. Judging.
Via TangoPangoKnowing.
#2. Santa Claus With Butt Plug -- Rotterdam
If you're in Rotterdam, you might as well take some time to see that famous 18-foot statue of Santa Claus you've been told about. But then you round the corner and see ... this.
Via zoetnet
Not only does his "tree" look like a sex toy that's ready to give you the gift of an embarrassing trip to the emergency room, but damn if that bell doesn't look like a bottle, too. Hell, this thing might just as well be renamed "the Ghost of that one and, incidentally, only Christmas when it was Uncle Henry's turn to be Santa." The statue of Santa Claus by Paul McCarthy was welcomed with open arms and installed by the Rotterdam city council, none of whom saw anything wrong it. However, it took the public roughly 0.63 seconds to give the statue the loving nickname Kabouter Buttplug.
Via Lollyman
It also comes as a giant red inflatable!
#1. Tubingen University -- Germany
Via weboid.hu
How would you choose to dress up the facade of your Institute for Microbiology? Most people would answer something along the lines of "lots of pillars," or maybe "glass and steel" if you're of a more modern mindset. Then there's the guy who designed Tubingen University, who had only one thing in mind: giant stone vaginas.
And somewhere, right now, someone is photoshopping some Rule 34 porn featuring Stone Vaginas and Dildo Santa. Don't blame us for that.

Let $A$ be a commutative ring with $1$, and $B\subseteq A$ be a subring.
Is there a simple condition on $B$ and $A$ guaranteeing that $B\to A\rightrightarrows A\otimes_B A$ is an equalizer?
In other words, when does $a\otimes_B 1 = 1\otimes_B a$ imply that $a\in B$?
This always holds, for example, if $B=K$ is a field and $A=L$ is a finite separable extension of $K$. For then, if $\ell\otimes 1 = 1\otimes \ell$ in $L\otimes_K L$, the same clearly holds in $\bar K\otimes_K L$, where $\bar K$ is a separable closure of $K$ containing $L$. But the $\bar K$-algebra homomorphism $\bar K\otimes_K L\to \bar K^{\mathrm{Hom}_K(L,\bar K)}$ sending $\alpha\otimes\ell\mapsto (\alpha\cdot s(\ell))_{s:L\to\bar K}$ is an isomorphism, and the equation becomes $\ell = s(\ell)$ for all $s:L\to \bar K$. But this means $\ell$ is fixed by the action of the absolute Galois group of $K$ (which acts transitively on the $s$), so $\ell\in K$.
Does the result hold for general $B$ and $A$? If not, is there a simple condition describing when it does hold? Or, failing that, is there a simpler proof in the case of a separable field extension, that doesn't need Galois theory?

Among all the chatter, and warnings, arm saving, meetings and news stories about the electrocution-related deaths of late, the Village of Four Seasons took decisive action to protect its residents.
Now, that's how you step up to the plate.
The Village announced last Wednesday night at its regular monthly meeting that on a first-come, first-served basis it will provide inspections of residents' GFI systems. If a problem is found, the homeowner will be left a checklist of issues and will be urged to seek professional, licensed, certified electrical help. If a serious safety hazard is discovered, the Village will work with Ameren Missouri to have electricity shut off to the dock.
Again, that's how you take responsibility. Sure, some people will get their feathers bent, their toes stepped on or their feelings hurt, but it's a small price to pay for possibly saving a life or debilitating injury. I applaud the Village's swift and, again, decisive decision.
Residents of the Village should feel comfort that the people charged with managing their sales tax dollars have their safest interests in mind.
Laird points out the Village was also the first to install storm warning signs, and one of its residents ? Ranita Jones ? has led the charge to coordinate a disaster response effort.
Not far behind, fire districts ? at least some, according to a news release ? are also providing a dock inspection service. Good for them. Sadly, these kinds of decisions are often made in reaction to a disaster.
What's commendable from the Village's perspective that it's the first incorporated community that serves the lake to step up. Others, I'm guessing, are fearful of litigation.
It's a matter of priority.

I recently purchased a boardman road bike and after 5 weeks as soon as you put effort into peddaling I am getting a squeaking noise from the bottom bracket, I took it back to halfords and they said it needs greasing every so often, is this an easy job to do and should I be doing at after only 5 weeks

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
It should not require greasing after only 5 weeks, unless it was not done originally.
A noise of that type can be caused by basically 4 things in the Bottom Bracket:
Options 2 or 3 are likely given the fix described. Both would be repaired by removing, greasing and retorquing the BB.
The most likely cause after such a short time is that they were left loose or dry during assembly, and that the shop or mechanic was talking CYA.
But that is difficult to determine from several thousand miles away. You can be confident that the maintenance does not need to be performed every few weeks. Your twice yearly tune up should be enough.

WLP072 French Ale
Clean strain that complements malt flavor. Low to moderate esters, when fermentation temperature is below 70°F. Moderate plus ester character over 70°F. Low diacetyl production. Good yeast strain for Biere de Garde, blond, amber, brown ales, and specialty beers.
Feedback and experiences from previous customers. Want to leave a review of your own?
"Ferments quickly ..."
Ferments quickly, settles very quickly. Attenuation leaves a bit to be desired. Usually doesn't finish within the "style" parameters even with sugar. Doing a four hour mash at 146-148 with a 5% sugar of the total grist I was able to ferment the beer from a 1.062 to 1.008 in five days doing a starter and dissolving oxygen into the wort before pitching. Ferments vigorously and will get up into the 70s even with an ambient temperature in the low, low 60's.
" ... less than three days"
Pitched 600 ml starter into 3 gal. of wort. This yeast was a fast starter and finisher, taking a 1.060 OG down to 1.013 - which is perfect for the style - in less than 3 days.
"I can't wait for the finished products"
Put together a brown in this style. Since this is not the norm for my brew house, I was surprised to see the beer drop in the primary from an OG of 1.068 to a FG of 1.012 in 5 days at 73 degrees. Beer is in the secondary to allow the yeast to floc out. The aroma at this step is amazing with no noticeable esters, malt is forward but not cloyingly so. I can't wait for the finished product. This yeast's performance was excellent and true to the description.
" ... I'll be looking for this again ..."
I followed quite closely the suggested grain bill from "Farmhouse Ales," which is outlined on this website. I ended up with a OG of 1.072 and it fermented quickly down to 1.009 at a temperature in the high 60's. The resulting Biere de Garde is quite accurate stylistically, showing subtle, but pleasant biscuit and apple notes. Made a really nice beer, and I'll be looking for this one again for next fall.
"Will be using this for a house yeast"
Will be using this for a house yeast. I did a 1 L starter for a 5 gallon batch of 1.047 OG, pitched yeast into wort at 58 F, let rise to 70. Got to 1.004 in 4 days and settled out. Minimal sulfur production and slight diacetyl which settles out.
FlocculationMedium to High
Optimum Ferment Temp.63-73°F (17-23°C)
Alcohol ToleranceMedium

Problem: Should i use session variables for this? I have created two session variables which are created at the time of login for the current user called email[this is unique] and usertype [teacher/student]
Suggested solution: Somehow i need to find a way to retrieve the text[email] printed within the anchor tag and make a search through the database to find a match with email of any user registered so that their profile can be displayed.
Anyone has any idea?

Vertical lift module keeps automotive parts moving
Zimbrick European, located in Madison, Wisc., is focused on servicing quality cars like Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Audi. The parts department is focused on providing quality service to its customers, including 23 service technicians.
When the Zimbrick European operation expanded into a new building, its original 2,300-square-foot parts department was only allotted 400 square feet on the first floor, with the majority of the parts storage in a second floor mezzanine area. "We needed a means to move parts between floors, short of running up and down the stairs every time we needed to store a part or remove a part from inventory to sell it," explains Steve Stepnock, parts and service director.
So, Zimbrick European installed a vertical lift module (VLM; Kardex Remstar, kardexremstar.com). Now, once parts are received and checked in by a clerk on the first floor, the system is updated to reflect accurate inventory levels. Fast moving, smaller parts are stored in the VLM on the first floor, while slow moving, larger parts are stored on the second floor mezzanine in bin shelving. Selectable access pick windows in the VLM link the two levels and facilitate part sharing in storage and retrieval operations.
When a service technician needs a part, he uses the computer in the workstall to transmit the request to the parts department, where an employee looks up its location and availability. If the part is stored in the VLM, the request is transferred and the machine automatically retrieves it. "It's absolutely seamless," says Stepnock.
If the part is stored on the second floor, a clerk retrieves it and uses the VLM to transport it down to a runner who delivers it to the technician. "The whole idea is not to have our technicians leave their workstalls to procure parts," says Stepnock.
In its new space, the VLM has enabled the Zimbrick European parts department to support its technicians, satisfy its wholesale business by supplying parts to local Madison body shops, and service walk-in customers. It has also reduced floor storage space by 84%, cut labor and the risk of injury, and increased productivity by 70%.

"Did I mention they have to use a video game to animate everything? It is a huge undertaking, and I have great respect that these episodes manage to have a compelling cinematography as well as humor."
This is just plain ridiculous. The fact they are using animation created by another company makes their job immensely easier. Hell, there are fourteen year-old machinima artists who can match them. Search "Machinima Tutorial" on google and you'll see how easy it is.

As I sat in the audience Sunday afternoon watching our nephew and his friends accept their high school diplomas, I couldn't help but wonder what the future had in store.
This joyous milestone came hours after learning of the death of our colleague and friend, Elmer Gunderson. Elmer worked as an engineer at WIBW-TV for nearly 58 years. He started in 1955 and was on the job until he was hospitalized in early April. It is an amazing career with an amazing legacy.
I couldn't help but wonder as I watched Tyler and his friends accept their diplomas - would they find a career they loved as much as Elmer loved his? With some surveys showing most people stay at any one workplace an average of four years, I couldn't help but wonder - will these young people find a workplace to which they feel as much loyalty as Elmer felt to WIBW? You hear about the new "me" generation of workers demanding vacation and other benefits and I couldn't help but wonder - will these grads display the dedication and selflessness to their jobs which Elmer did to his? I think about all the people we've heard from these past days and weeks, sharing their memories about Elmer and I couldn't help but wonder - will this future generation take the time to impact their colleagues and lift them up the way Elmer touched all of us?
I hope they all do. Elmer is a testament to the importance of hard work and dedication. He leaves a legacy of mentorship through quiet leadership, rather than a forceful hand. He reminds of the joy that can come from doing a job and doing it well. He also shows us that life is a continual education - there's always new knowledge to pursue, new challenges to conquer - and complaining about the journey won't bring you any closer to the goal.
May you all find an Elmer in your workplace - and find a bit of Elmer in yourself.

Online Tools for Finding Land
For many people these days the search for land begins online. Typically affordable land is not easy to find using most of the big real estate websites because they tend to focus on single family homes. But I've found a certain combination of methods useful for exploring new places and uncovering what appear to be good deals.
Google Maps
From the Google Maps start page begin by clicking the Show search options link that is located next to the Search Maps button at the top. This will expose a hidden drop down menu with the default value All results. Click on the drop down menu and change the selection to Real estate. Now enter the location where you want to start your search and click Search Maps. For this article I searched for Klamath Falls, Oregon and got the map result below.
Each red dot on the map is a piece of real estate for sale and an occasional rental. On this screen you can now filter out the properties that don't match your criteria. Remember the keyword search box at the top is included in the search criteria so if you leave it blank — which seems counter intuitive at first — will allow you to search the viewable map and not constrain you to a single city.
In this next example I've removed Klamath Falls, Oregon from the search field, added $20,000 as a price limit, zoomed out a bit, and clicked on the Terrain button in the top right so I can see topography instead of the aerial view. On the left you'll see the details of each property but you can also click on the red dots to get more detail too.
I chose Klamath Falls, Oregon because it's within a day's drive distance of of my home… but I've never been there. Luckily Google Maps can give me a quick tour now that I've identified it as a place with inexpensive land. I still don't know if it's an owner-builder friendly place at this point but before I dive in too deeply I want to explore it a little to see if it would be a place I'd like to build a tiny cabin.
So the next thing I'll do is turn on the mapped photos and Wikipedia articles. Simply click the More… (1) button at the top and select the things you want.
After spending some time looking through the photos and Wikipedia articles I was ready to try to uncover if this was owner-builder friendly place. From the Wikipedia article about Klamath Falls I was able to quickly find the county website and their local building codes and ordinances.
Local Planning Department Websites
The best way to find out if a community is owner-builder friendly is to ask people who know. But it's also fairly easy to get a basic idea of what is required to build a small home from a little online research. In this example I discovered:
- Klamath County code enforcement officers are sworn deputies by the Klamath County Sherif (source) and can ticket you for code violations.
- The permit fees were reasonable but not low cost.
- The Klamath County general codes are published online.
- I could find no published minimum size requirement for homes, which is a good thing.
- Oregon also has a state-wide building codes division and an online quick permits tool for contractors but not owner-builders.
I may be jumping to conclusions but my general take was that Klamath County has a bit of red tape and may not be the easiest place to build without expert assistance. But it also doesn't look terribly oppressive. The next step would be to start a more specific search for land and contact realtors to find out if these initial suspicions are true.
Lands of America
My next online search would be at Lands of America. You can also find these same property listings on Mother Earth News. I like Lands of America because they have a lot of low cost bare land listings unlike most of the big real estate websites.
When I started searching in the Klamath Falls area I found a few properties that look like great deals online and then did a little more digging.
This particular property caught my eye. The real estate listing (pdf of original here) had a lot more detail than most and the 20-acre parcel cost less than $20,000.
I then discovered that Oregon keeps all the tax plat maps online on one website, which is really handy for researching. Most of the time you'll find plat maps on county websites if they are online at all. These maps show lot lines and general geographical features but not much more. Using Google Maps I found the property in order to get a better look at the topography and what it looked like from the air.
I was stunned when I found that this parcel appeared to be under water. Here's a side-by-side screen shot of the Google Map and plat map. The property in question is the 20-acre parcel just to the left of the B in Bear Valley. You can visit the live Google Map here.
I emailed the realtor, who happens to be in Texas, and asked if the land was on a silted in lake or under a real lake… since Google Maps aerial view sure made it look like a lake bottom. I've not heard back from the realtor yet but it is the holidays after all so I'll cut him some slack.
But this is the perfect example of why it is essential to assume nothing about buying bare land. It's also best to work with local realtors since they will be able to answer all your questions. Even when you walk land yourself you will still have questions about legal access, property lines, water availability, and so on. When you are looking online you really have too little information to make a purchase decision and if a deal looks too good to be true there is a reason for it.
So use the internet for exploring and getting a general sense for a place, especially if it is new to you like Klamath Falls, Oregon is to me. But when you are ready to get serious about buying land, plan on spending some time on the ground in the area visiting with realtors, potential neighbors, and talking to the local planning department. Also be sure to find out if it is legal to camp on your own land while building. At the end of the day the internet is a great tool for researching but you never know what you'll find in the real world until you get out and check it out.

This recipe is a keeper! I have only had gnocchi once before and didn't care for it. However, I trust Eating Well and decided to give it a try. What great flavors and even better the next day in our lunches for work! We are reducing meat-based meals to only 1-2 times per week and this is a great vegetarian option. Pair it with a Caesar salad with homemade dressing and there's no way you can't go away from the dinner table satisfied.
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
419 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
I've made this a few times now and have modified it just a little to kick up the flavors a bit. Try using (canned) fire roasted diced tomatoes and smoked mozzarella. For a non-vegetarian version, add chorizo. Definitely a crowd pleaser!
O-M-G. I adore this recipe. It did not take too long to make, with all of the chopping & prep - maybe 25 minutes. I found rainbow swiss chard at my local grocery store and coarsely chopped that. I might try a different brand of shelf-stable gnocchi next time as the one I used (and I can't remember the name of it) tasted a tad floury. I also might try adding artichoke hearts - but that's just a personal preference. It's only 11 AM but I'm contemplating getting out the leftovers for lunch.
This recipe is wonderful! It was a warm and filling meal the whole family enjoyed. I used the spinach instead of swiss chard and would recommend adding the cheese onto each plate instead of the pot. It doesn't use as much this way and clean up was easier. You can also use wheat pasta in a pinch instead of gnocchi.
I liked the ingredients, and frying the gnocchi was inspired, but on the whole I thought it was a little bland. I'd make it again, but might include a couple of ounces of pancetta and maybe a pinch of crushed red pepper, or maybe even a splash of vinegar. Or all of the above. I used the spinach as some others did, but I think a stronger green like the chard would be better.

When I bottle, I follow the typical step of boiling some water, adding bottling sugar, letting it cool, and adding it to the beer that's done fermenting (but still of course has live yeast floating around). Those little beasties probably would like a sip of O2 to grow better and carbonate the bottle better/faster, but I'm as careful not to add oxygen to the priming solution as I am to keep oxygen out of the beer. But I got to wondering, does anyone have any data or experience on aerating the priming solution? Seems like it would be an easy experiment that might have been tried, or maybe some author commented on it.
As far as I understand things, the yeast won't go through a serious growth phase in the bottle. The pressure and alcohol make for a harsh environment, and you shouldn't be using enough yeast to really consume any oxygen that you would add. At this point, you really want to avoid oxygenation, so that you limit oxidation flavors in the beer. Thus, you boil out the oxygen in your priming solution and prevent stirring air into the beer.
More oxygen might carbonate faster, but it would probably do so at the expense of cardboard flavored beer.

When we went to Walt Disney World Resort in April, we decided to rent a stroller from Kingdom Strollers. I had never used a rental service before and wasn't exactly sure what to expect, or if this was really a service we needed. Heck, I'd never even been to Disney before… I had no clue how a stroller would fare in the parks. If you are having the same doubts, see my post "7 Reasons You Should Rent a Stroller from Kingdom Strollers for Your Next Disney World Vacation" and know that this is the right decision to make.
After I signed up for the service I was contacted by the owner Matt and one thing led to another and I agreed to do a review of their service and their product in exchange for a free rental during our stay at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration.
The Positives:
I keep rattling off all of the great things about the strollers and the service. I've been told that a really good review will also point out the negatives, it will be well rounded. So here goes.
The Negatives:
That's it. Those are the only two things that I can think of as negative aspects of the entire experience.
A Couple of Side Notes:
Renting a stroller can be one of the easiest decisions you make and using Kingdom Strollers will make your experience even better!
Happy Disney!

While I did receive a stroller rental in return for a review of the product and the service, all of the opinions in this post are my own. Would I have it any other way???

I am confused about what vnc reflector does. From the documentation http://sourceforge.net/projects/vnc-reflector/ I got that it's proxysitting between real VNC server (a host) and a number of VNC clients.
My confusion is : 1. Does it make any changes to the coming stream from server 2. Does it make 1 connection with server to connect to many client or the connections are proportionate.
Documentation is not clear in this. If anyone can help me?

WEIRTON - Tri State Pharmacy has earned the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board's stamp of approval.
The board gave Tri State its Seal of Accreditation, a system of standards created by some of the leading organizations in the compounding pharmacy profession. Tri State is the first pharmacy in the Tri-State Area to earn the accreditation.
Compounding medications is an integral part of the practice of pharmacy and the demand for these customized medications are increasing every year, yet many people may not even be aware of its role, according to officials. Compounded medications are prescriptions that are written by physicians, veterinarians and other legally authorized prescribers and prepared for an individual patient by a specially trained pharmacist. Examples of compounded prescriptions are:
Article Photos
EARNS ACCREDITATION — Tri State Pharmacy in Weirton recently earned accreditation from the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board. Employees include, from left, Christy Dalton, pharmacy tech; Josh Benton, supervising compounding pharmacist, and Lisa Hervey, lead compounding tech. - Contributed
When a child needs a smaller dose of a medicine that is only commercially manufactured in adult-size doses.
When a person cannot tolerate the inactive ingredients (such as gluten or sugar) in manufactured medicines.
When a doctor believes a medicine is needed for his or her patient, but a manufacturer has discontinued the medicine for economic reasons.
Many pharmacies practice a small degree of compounding, but some, like Tri State, actually specialize in the centuries-old practice.
"Our renewed PCAB Accreditation status and our designation as a PCAB Accredited compounding pharmacy lets the public know that Tri State Pharmacy ranks among the best for quality and safety," said JJ Bernabei, co-owner and pharmacist. "The PCAB Seal of Accreditation shows our dedication to protecting our patients by practicing safe, high-quality compounding."
With the high volume of prescriptions that are compounded each year, there has been a need for an enhanced, profession-wide system of standards by which each compounding pharmacy can test its quality processes. While a compounding pharmacy is regulated by the state, PCAB Accreditation is an even more comprehensive way to ensure a compounding pharmacy is meeting quality and safety standards.
To earn PCAB Accreditation; Tri State Pharmacy had to complete an extensive application, document its written policies and provide an analysis of its quality procedures that were reviewed by the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board and some of the leading figures in the field of compounding. Next, compounding experts conducted an extensive on-site inspection . Only when these stringent evaluations were completed did the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board officially grant Tri State Pharmacy the PCAB Seal of Accreditation and the right to use the designation "PCAB Accredited compounding pharmacy."
"We are honored by this new accreditation. It confirms our commitment to providing safe, personalized solutions that meet the medical needs of our patients and the needs of the health care providers in our community who rely on us for these specialized medicines," said JJ Bernabei, RPh. "We believe this will further strengthen the bond of trust between our pharmacy and the community."
Locally-owned Tri State Pharmacy is one of two pharmacies in the Tri State Medical Group: Follansbee Pharmacy was the original compounding location until the new state of the art lab was constructed at Weirton Medical Center.

If you search in Google with keywords "cyprus hotels" the first in results are www.cyprushotels.com with rank 2 and 2 links to this site. And second place is www.cyprus-hotels.com with rank 5 and milions link to that site. Why is it like that?
You need to understand that it's quality, not always quantity that is the ruling factor in these ranking comparisons.
See http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.cyprushotels.com/www.cyprus-hotels.com/a!comparison for a better indication of why,
Lastly, the PageRank (what I believe you were referring to when you mentioned "rank 5") has very little to do with where a site will rank for particular keywords. Also be reminded that the rankings you see are most likely tailored to you.
Seriocomic posted almost exactly what I was about to write but I will add a few more points:
First, you have a lot of text on the home page and from a brief glance it looks very keyword stuffed. Obviously you need keywords on the page, but putting "Cyprus Hotels" in every sentence makes it look like spam. Just write naturally!
Second, most of the links to your site come from other sites you own and cross-link on every page. It's easy for Google to see these sites are very closely related and thus will lower the impact those links have. You need to try and get varied back links from external sites.

Is the sentence, "It's on tonight," grammatically correct? What about "It's on for tonight?" Are they both correct? Is there any difference at all?
Sign up

Both are grammatical expressions, and common.
This can refer to a TV program that will be broadcast this evening. Or it can refer to some other form of entertainment. Or it can mean there is a confrontation looming.
This means some prearranged plan or meeting is to take place tonight.
The "it" in both cases refers to some unspecified matter which will either be understood from context or explicitly stated before or after these sentences.
That brings us to the simple expression
This is the confrontation I referred to above (often given as "Oh, it's on!") meaning that the speaker has accepted or recognized that a challenge of some sort has been issued and means to accept it, usually with relish or special determination to win.
Taken out of context, both phrases are meaningless. Within proper context, the "it" should be clear. If my wife and I are discussing a new TV show, she might say "it's on tonight." If she said this three hours after the mention of the new program, I'd have no idea what she was talking about.

When I was younger I could play the guitar all day without back pain (muscular). I stoped playing and exercising for many years, this with associated weight gain. Now I wanted to play the same guitar again but back pain do not allow me to it anymore (every 5 min I have to stop). I want to know if there is solution, and if exercise help. What is the best practice to strenght my back and be able to do what I used to do. There a detail, my sleep is not very good (few hours) and I can`t change this.

Being in shape helps prevent back pain. Being out of shape, overweight, and inactive all contribute to the problem.
I would lift weights at least two or three times a week, focusing on barbell squats and deadlifts, which are both tremendously helpful for strengthening the back. Yoga, going for a medium-long walk, or another form of stretching that you enjoy would be good to do on days you don't lift. It would be fine to add running, swimming, biking, rowing, or another form of cardio once or twice a week, to help lose weight. The primary problem is probably a weak back, however, which is best addressed with a barbell.

Or how would you deal with it? What do you think is the best approach? (Except shutting down facebook, which doesn't help me if I still know I'm forced to sit at home or in the library anyways.)
Definition: FOMO = "fear of missing out" - The fear that if you miss a party or event you will miss out on something great - UrbanDictionary (April 14, 2011 Urban Word of the Day)
Article about FOMO: http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2011/04/14/fomo-addiction-the-fear-of-missing-out/
My actual question is: How do I deal with that INTERNALLY, mentally, if I cannot control (all) incoming "FOMO triggers"?
For example: I can close facebook all I want, but if a friend knocks on my apartment door or I study in a public place, getting these external interferences is unavoidable!

Having played TankBall 2 for a while over the past two days, I've noticed that some of my attacks aren't actually connecting with my opponent's tank. Mind you, they seem to connect, in that my balls clearly hit the tank and explode, and my hit counter increments, but I can tell that my opponent isn't taking damage since I can shoot them 20 times and they won't die, even though it takes 10 hits to kill a tank and health doesn't regenerate.
I'm pretty sure I understand why this is happening: determining whether or not you "hit" your opponent is done by checking it on your client, while checking whether or not they take damage is done on your opponent's client. As a result, if there's lag due to servers being full, you could be hitting your opponent as many times as you want to increase your score but to them and the game the balls are simply hitting thin air.
Still, understanding this doesn't help me improve at the game itself and destroy more tanks. So, is there any way I can tell if my opponent's actually taking damage or not, or, alternatively, tell if my opponent's apparent position is a fake generated by lag? Do you have any tips on compensating for the lag?

Charlotte volleyball senior Jenna Litoborski and junior Amanda Videmsek were both named to the Atlantic 10 Conference All-Academic Team, the league announced Thursday. Of the seven-person squad, Charlotte was one of three institutions to land two on the list.
Litoborski cracked the 1,000-career digs plateau, the 17th in school history on that list, in Charlotte's final home match of 2012. She moved up one spot to finish 16th in career digs at Charlotte. In the classroom, the libero from Lemont, Ill. has posted a 3.94 cumulative grade point average in her major of math - actuarial science. She played in all but one set for the season, with 397 digs and a 4.41 digs-per-set average, good enough for fourth-best in a single-season in team history and fourth-best in the league this season.
Videmsek, a co-captain, led the squad with 294 kills, a .258 attack percentage and 59 blocks in 2012. The native of Highland Heights, Ohio boasts a 3.95 GPA in exercise science. She was eighth in the league in kills per set (3.23) and points per set this season.
The 49ers season finished last Thursday night at VCU.

Spring is officially here ... and so is community garden season!
On Friday, April 5, Jenifer Dugan will hold a seed-starting class at the Lyons Township District Library in Lyons as part of its spring break activities for students. Kids will be able to plant a seed, which will stay at the library for a few weeks until it is time to plant. When they are big enough, plants will be added to the Dugan Family Community Garden. When the produce is ready, the library will host a "salsa party," teaching kids how to make fresh salsa. Remaining produce from these plants will be distributed through the Muir Christian Food Pantry.
Also in Garden News, the Crayon Box Day Care Center has plans to start a new garden this year. In preparation, they started some seeds last week that might be sprouting by early next week. The ground will be tilled up by Armand Aronson from the Washington Street Garden around Global Youth Service Day, and planting of this new garden will take place sometime in early May if all goes according to plans.
Additional new gardens in the Ionia area this year include the Boyce Garden (the Garden Club recently was featured in the paper with its worm habitats), the 4-H Garden located at the Ionia County Animal Shelter, and the Ionia County Intermediate School District. The ISD has received a grant from Katie's Krops, and Heather Beeman is working on an application to visit Katie's Kamp at Katie's Family Farm in South Carolina. Heather could be one of 12 youth from across the nation attending this three-day camp.
To learn more about community gardens in Ionia County, contact the Ionia Community Community Food Network, whose mission is to facilitate and support community-grown food sources and related distribution systems in order to increase access to locally grown, fresh produce and promote its use through educational opportunities within the community. Email email@example.com, or visit www.ioniahost.com/garden.

::bump::you people should have warned me more about how much work I would be doing in LS.
Quote from: dischord on November 21, 2009, 07:54:20 PMAnd just wait til next year. My semester was like finals week every week.To be fair, I've been deluged with responsibilities & obligations this year--basically all the 1L stuff (four doctrinal classes) plus callback travel, journal cite-checking/writing, and casebook work for a prof--but I've pretty much managed to avoid doing poo.So there's definitely more "work," but there's definitely less "doing work."
And just wait til next year. My semester was like finals week every week.
Oh @#!* you, am I the only person whose life f-ing sucks 2L?! God dammit.

A lot of the homebrew I make is made with organic ingredients - organic grain and hops. However, I have never come across organic yeast (!?) or irish moss. Can I rightly call this beer organic, or does the addition of yeast and irish moss relegate it to "beer with organic ingredients"?
Most organic products are not 100% organic. Compare organic carrots to organic carrot cake. The FDA or USDA has allowed that a small percentage of the ingredients not be organic as long as the primary and majority ingredients are organic. There are several organic beers out there that don't use all organic hops, yet the still retain the organic label.
I am sure your beer is organic enough to tell your friends its organic.
Yeast itself is organic. The medium it's grown in may not be, but you;d have to contact the yeast manufacturer to know.

It takes more than a little courage to come forward with complaints that the medical community does not yet see as standard. If those complaints are sexual in nature, it is surely even more difficult to continue to address the subject and ask the medical community to listen and respond. But for some time, brave women have come forward, one by one, complaining of changes in their sexuality that they insisted could not be explained by the loss of their breast. Indeed, both women with mastectomy and those with lumpectomy brought froth these complaints.
Women receiving chemotherapy are aware of many transitional side effect they may suffer (e.g. nausea and vomiting, hair loss, fatigue). However, there are also sexual side effects often not discussed and sometimes irreversible. Preliminary research suggest that some chemotherapeutic agents interfere with the production of sex hormones. If the women with whom I've talked are a good barometer, discussion of sexual matters, if any, is limited to the shutdown of ovarian function and premature menopause as it relates to estrogen depletion, resulting in traditional menopausal symptoms (including a negative impact on the arousal phase of a woman's sexual response cycle). Rarely discussed with women is the fact that functioning ovaries also produce another hormone essential for normal sexual functioning. Often referred to as the male hormone, a small but vital amount of testosterone is also synthesized by the ovaries. Research by Kapland Owett suggest that a virtual lack of testosterone can be a dramatic side effect of chemotherapy [1]. This decrease brings with it a loss of sexual desire and decrease in the ability to experience orgasm.
In a non random sample generating 63 quesionnaires returned to Linda Bloom, a San Francisco, California psychotherapist and herself a breast cancer survivor, all but one of the women reported a drop in the enjoyment level of their sexual experiences, with 52 women convinced that their sexual symptoms were long-term side-effects of chemotherapy (L. Bloom, unpublished data, 1994).
This information will come as no surprise to those women who have been speaking out about the decrease in sexual interest and sexual pleasure they have felt following chemotherapy. Many women relate that they have been told that these sexuality changes they experience are all psychological. Certainly for many, there is some psychological impact of the breast cancer on their relationships that may need to be addressed. That in no way obviates the need to address the very real organic impact that chemotherapy may have on sexual functioning. Kaplan puts forth very clearly the combination of depleted estrogen and testosterone may negatively affect all three phases of the sexual response cycle: desire, arousal, and orgasm [2].
There is little information in the literature about this impact of androgen (testosterone) depletion on sexual functioning for women with breast cancer, and even less on how to remedy it. Although Kaplan notes that in some instances, women are being offered small nonvirilizing doses of testosterone, she quickly adds that this has not been well studied and that some specialists are "reluctant to risk testosterone administration," fearing the unknown.
There is still much to learn. What percentage of women experience permanent androgen depletion and under what circumstances? What can we learn about long-term safety of "testosterone replacement therapy"? Are there other medications that can effectively restore desire and capacity for orgasm? In what ways can we assess the interface between the psychological determinants of sexual difficulties for these women? In addition to finding answers to questions such as these, it is essential that health care professionals inform women about all potential risks and benefits of available treatment alternatives, including the side effects.
As many women have said to me in one way or another, "It's great to know that I'm not alone, to have it validated that something really is happening to my body. But I wait for more." They, as we do, look to the horizon, to await answers to the above questions and more -- answers that will help each woman reach out and feel sexually alive again.

There's also "rest in pieces."
There are a range of curses which would express such a sentiment, partly affected by religious belief, so "be reincarnated as a cockroach" might be suitable for those who think such a thing is possible.
The most common Christian antonym is probably "burn in hell", particularly in opposition to the modern prayer: "May they rest in peace, and rise in glory" which is replacing the older "Rest eternal grant unto them O Lord and may light perpetual shine upon them"
"Good riddance"? There are an awful lot of ways you could express that sentiment.
"Pissing on their grave" or "Dancing on their grave" always resonated with me...
In the early 19th century, the death of Britain's King George IV didn't get much sympathy. The following verse circulated:
Actually there were two more in the 20th century, both quite decent and popular.
