I would be interested to know if any fellow Canadians have favorite on-line sources for fabric, notions, tools, etc. Robin K
... Our Fabricland store seems to be going strong and for some strange reason seems to have taken a turn for the better in the past few months. I'm not sure what's going on there -- for years I have avoided going there unless absolutely necessary -- a bad combination of poor quality fabric and unhappy,
Myrna, I've often wondered if the problems at Fabricland were just at our Victoria store or Canada-wide!

Political Perceptions: Fed Forced Into Election Spotlight
Federal Reserve officials usually try to keep their heads down in the summer and fall of an election year. This year, the economy is not cooperating.
Proliferating signs of an unwelcome slowing of economic growth and the likelihood that inflation will be below the Fed's target are increasing pressure on the Fed to do more to help the economy, if not at their July 31-Aug. 1 meeting then at their Sept. 12-13 meeting.
Forecasters at Macroeconomic Advisers, a St. Louis consulting firm, now estimate that the U.S. expanded at a distressingly slow 1.2% annual rate in the just-ended second quarter, even worse than the 1.9% growth in the first quarter and not nearly fast enough to bring unemployment down from the current 8.2% rate.
Minutes of the late-June meeting of Fed officials, released Wednesday after the usual lag, revealed that the Fed staff has marked down its forecast for both near-term and medium-term economic growth.

At the June meeting of the 19 Fed policy makers, two said "appropriate monetary policy" meant another round of securities purchases by the Fed – known as QE3 for a third round of quantitative easing – and two more said they'd advocate such a move if "the economic didn't make satisfactory progress in improving labor market conditions" or if there's a "significant deterioration" in the economic outlook.
Any monetary move will, undoubtedly, draw accusations that the Fed – deliberately or not – giving President Barack Obama's reelection campaign a boost, no matter how hard Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke denies that's a consideration.
This presents a bit of dilemma for Republican Mitt Romney. Criticizing the Bernanke Fed has been a staple of Republican campaign rhetoric this year. As recently as early June, Mr. Romney was arguing that the Fed should stay on the sidelines.
But what the Fed does later this summer or fall will have some influence on how strong the economy is in 2013. And if Mr. Romney wins in November, he may discover he is much more interested in having the Fed give the economy a boost than he is right now as a candidate.

For the first time, the parents of slain Overland Park teenager Kelsey Smith have a face-to-face encounter with the man accused of kidnapping and killing her.
Twenty-six-year-old Edwin Hall made a brief appearance in Johnson County District Court this morning on charges of first-degree premeditated murder and aggravated kidnapping.
He's accused of abducting Smith outside a Target store on June second
and strangling her.
Defense lawyer Paul Cramm asked Judge Peter Ruddick to keep Hall in the Johnson County jail until the next hearing, which was set for August 15th.
Kelsey's parents Greg and Missey Smith said it was the first time they have seen Hall face to face, but had no reaction.
Greg Smith said that his thoughts are only on Kelsey.
Ruddick has issued a gag order limiting what lawyers, police and others in the case can discuss with the media.

I'd like to sum up moving averages for a number of different categories when storing log records. Imagine a service that saves web server logs one entry at a time. Let's further imagine, we don't have access to the logged records. So we see them once but don't have access to them later on.
For different pages, I'd like to know
- the total number of hits (easy)
- a "recent" average (like one month or so)
- a "long term" average (over a year)
Is there any clever algorithm/data model that allows to save such moving averages without having to recalculate them by summing up huge quantities of data?
I don't need an exact average (exactly 30 days or so) but just trend indicators. So some fuzziness is not a problem at all. It should just make sure that newer entries are weighted higher than older ones.
One solution probably would be to auto-create statistics records for each month. However, I don't even need past month statistics, so this seems like overkill. And it wouldn't give me a moving average but rather swap to new values from month to month.

I actually have video of the Bowie grandstand being demolished, we had horses in training and hung around to watch it happen. The Grandstand was across the street from the barn area. I was also...

I rode in the mid 80's!

Blasi got a "vacation", and Steve thought it was the right PR move to make at the time. I'm surprised it took him this long to make his way back to the barn. The only thing I can add, is that loose...
Yes, it's common for a horse to be galloped slow the first mile if they are galloping 2 miles. It's not the horses choice, but instructions from the trainer.
Almost impossible to tell from what you've posted. The time off from August to April could be anything. How old was the horse? Was there a big drop in class?
Usually a racetrack is a mile, the horses back up at a jog, then turn around and gallop, so a typical training is a mile and a half. Depending on the horse, and the kind of race your getting him...
Nope, average...knees near the pommel. Willie has long legs, which make him appear to be "higher". His lower leg is firmly on the horses side. When I galloped, I rode short, I galloped a lot of...
Riding with short irons helps with leverage on a tough horse. CC is a tough horse, so Willie rides short thus he is way off the horses back. Some riders are just more comfortable that way too.
I don't think they ever gave anyone a 1/2 length advantage, but it's a good question. We've used both over the years and the last pair I had made were the traditional ones. One thing that did...
Blacksmith was just out last week, wish you had posted sooner!
I hate to tell you this minnie, but some riders are used because they will "ride anything". Not saying this is the case here, but true nonetheless
Also wanted to add, I see you're in Md...me too, just wondering how much history you have on her. I may be able to help, you can pm me if you'd like.
Will she pony? Just thinking that you may want to try this, and let her get comfortable, but of course you then will have to wean her off of her "friend". What does she do threatening (rear,...
Is she doing this with a rider on her or just hand walking? I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out where you are in retraining.

Hi Everyone,
I went on my site this morning to check some things and noticed the drop-down menus are not working. I updated to WordPress version 3.4.2 yesterday and pretty sure everything was working. I updated my widgets this morning and shortly after is when I noticed the drop-down menus were gone. Not sure if the updates were the cause. I viewed the source code and to me it looks like the code is still there. I just manage the content of the pages and do some basic html updates, nothing too advanced.
Any ideas what is causing the drop-down menus not to work?
Here is the page: http://www.meadowlarkenergy.com/
Your help is greatly appreciated!

PureWash HR Molecule Generator for
High Efficiency and Standard Efficiency Washing Machines
The technology behind the pureWash® by EdenPURE was developed for hospitals over 20 years ago because laundry detergents were causing so many problems for them.
Laundry Detergents were promoting germs, leaving behind harmful chemicals that caused irritation and infection, polluting the air, clogging drains, and reducing the life of linens. Laundry detergents were a major expense and caused so many issues that hospitals were forced to find a technology that was cheaper, more sanitary and environmentally-friendly.
The hospital HR Molecule Generator was developed to alleviate the problems caused by laundry detergents. An HR Molecule Generator produces Hydroxyl Radical (HR) Molecules, which are one of nature's most powerful cleansers. Nature uses Hydroxyl Radicals to purify the air and water. The HR molecule also sanitizes and deodorizes air and water. HR Molecules are in higher density in a storm and this is why the air smells so fresh after a thunderstorm.
Hospital HR Molecule Generators were large, complicated and cost thousands of dollars. Recent technology has made it possible to have your very own personal, high quality affordable home HR Molecule Generator, the pureWash® by EdenPURE.
The pureWash® by EdenPURE pays for itself quickly and then begins saving you money each year, with your savings on detergents, softeners, bleach, and hot water.
With pureWash® by EdenPURE, you will no longer have these issues caused by detergents: laundry detergents, softeners, drain clogs caused by detergent, septic clogs caused by detergent, water pollution, color fading, laundry stiffness, separating colors, air pollution, bacteria, skin infections, chemical odors or the need for hot water.
The benefits of pureWash® by EdenPURE laundry appliance are endless:
- Direct cash savings when you save on laundry detergents and energy bills
- Hospital-developed technology to naturally clean laundry without chemicals
- Eliminates detergent buildup for soft, clean, irritant-free and odor-free laundry
- Increases the life of your clothes, towels and linens
- Easy to install
- Does not use hot water
- Conserves energy
- May eliminate skin rashes and allergies due to harmful laundry chemicals
- Completely environmentally friendly
- Works on high efficiency and standard efficiency washing machines

Benajmin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas have agreed to meet on September 14 for the next stage of Middle East peace negotiations and then at regular points through the next year.
A senior Hamas official has said that the terror organisation will not take the blame if the latest round of Middle East peace talks collapses – despite having perpetrated two attacks on Israeli civilians in two days.
The murder of four residents of the Beit Hagai settlement on the dark, winding road from Hebron was almost expected - as was the settlers' reaction.
Just two days earlier, the IDF Chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi, had met the commanders of the Judea and Samaria Division and warned them to be on the look-out for attempts to disrupt the opening of the direct peace talks in Washington.
President Barack Obama will visit Israel and the Palestinian Authority in a few months' time if the peace process continues, according to White House officials.
Mr Obama has been criticised by Americans and Israelis for not addressing both sides of the conflict directly during the first 18 months of his presidency. The president visited the region early in his term for a much-publicised speech in Cairo, but pointedly left Israel off his itinerary.
The most recent poll by the Palestinian Centre for Public Opinion tells the whole story.
No, most Palestinians do not think "direct talks" are a good idea. They do not see how Special Envoy George Mitchell's frequent visits make peace more likely. And they also do not believe that President Barack Obama is "in a position to establish a Palestinian state". In fact, 65.8 per cent of West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip Palestinians think he is not.
Binyamin Netanyahu will try to manage the direct talks with the Palestinians in exactly the same way he ran the long period of preparation in the run up to them - bit by bit, without giving anything away until the very last moment he has to.
The Israeli prime minister is meeting the Palestinian president this weekend in Washington, under the auspices of President Barack Obama, without any details of his peace plan - if he even has one - becoming known.
A second terror attack by Hamas has left two Israeli civilians injured, one seriously.
The roadside shooting near the Rimonim junction in the West Bank followed the killing of four people on Tuesday by a Hamas gunman, and came as direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians began in Washington.
William Hague has condemned the killings of four Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists on the eve of a new round of Middle East peace negotiations.
Hamas' military wing has claimed responsibility for the murder of four Israeli civilians, including a woman believed to be pregnant.
But American and Israeli officials have urged that Israel and the Palestinians do not let the terror attack derail the direct peace negotiations set to begin in Washington tomorrow.
"We have seen this tawdry and transparent script played out endlessly in the past 20 years.
"Israel promises to negotiate in good faith, delivers nothing, scarcely even hints that it might deliver something in the future."

Long post a little venting needed!Ā I just changed my doctor.Ā
I just felt that my doctor was too hands off.Ā this was my 1st pregnancy but I'm over 35.Ā When I started spotting lightly but out of the blue at 9w5d. I waited a couple of days (because I didn't want to overreact)Ā I called and got the party line of "its normal".Ā Mostly because it was brown, light, no cramps and manageable with a liner.
I waited 2 more days and it was still happening and I knew I was heading out of town for work so I wanted to be seen. I also started to feel different (no sore boobs and I wasn't as tired)ĀAgain I called and emailed her and was given the same response. "Don't worry its normal" But I did get an advice nurse who advise pelvic rest which I had already been doing.Ā I wanted to come in but was not given an appointment.
So I went on my trip. spotting continued.Ā I stayed off my feet as much as I could. My hotel room was my friend. I emailed her again because I was going to demand to be seen when I came back.Ā Her response was, basically try not to worry but it could be a sign of an impending miscarriage. I'm in tears at that point and away from home. Well 2 days later mc started I had to find an ER. Spent several hours there and had to tell my bf that we lost our baby over the phone.
Thank goodness I had a flight back the next day and it was a short trip home.Ā I ended up seeing another Dr. for my follow up 3 days later and he was so nice. His wife had gone through an mc so he was very understanding. He put inthe order for my HCG tests.
I emailed my Dr. let her know I had mc and her response was like "okay, sorry to hear. it happens..." I was livid and asked if she would cancel my 1st trimester screening appointments and bloodwork she ordered. She said she would but 2 days later I get a call from the NT u/s tech to confirm my appointment, which put me back into a tailspin emotionally.Ā I emailed her with a question about how often I should go in for the HCG tests.Ā Her response was "each dr. handles things differently, I don't think its necessary"
Needless to say. I switched to the dr. I saw for my follow up.Ā I emailed him to ask the same question about the test and to tell him that I was considering a change. He quickly answered my question and openly welcomed me as a patient. He also has recommended that when I'm ready to actively TTC to come in for a preconception visit. Starting to feel more comfortable with his level of care.

This is no oversight, however—the book was researched and written before the first transplant was attempted. Nor does the omission detract at all from the value of the book.

How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.
There are a number of different options to create the necessary flat and level surface, and we're going to take you through four of them. All are ideal to prevent water collecting around the shed floor and damaging it. These four methods are how to lay:
- a timber frame base (also known as a portabase)
- a plastic base
- a paved area base, and
- a concrete slab base
Both paved and concrete bases can't be laid straight onto soft ground and so require a sub-base. A concrete base also has a further extra step - constructing the frame or edging that supports concrete while it sets, this is known as formwork. So do bear in mind that these options can take longer to build than the timber frame and plastic bases.
Simply choose the one for you and read through the step-by-step advice on how to lay your shed base.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Google has added Alabama to the list of areas for which panoramic photos are available on its popular map service.
The addition of Alabama and several other states to the service Tuesday was part of a doubling of the area covered by the service across the country.
Google spokeswoman Elaine Filadelfo said the photos were shot within the past year by company contractors driving around the state with automated cameras attached to their vehicles.
The cameras take a 360-degree image every few seconds, and all photos were shot from public streets. Users can virtually walk down a street, moving about a half block in city traffic with each click of the mouse. Software automatically blurs the faces of people and license tags on cars to allay privacy concerns.

Fewer than half of Montenegro's inhabitants are Montenegrins, according to census figures released by the Statistical Office.
While 45 percent of the country's residents declared themselves to be Montenegrins, nearly 30 percent said they were Serbs.
The language numbers were also skewed toward Serbs. While 37 percent of the country's 625,266 inhabitants said they speak Montenegrin, about 44 per cent speak Serbian.
The overall population has grown by some 5,000 people since the last census was conducted in 2003, according to the Statistical Office.
Beside Montenegrins and Serbs, other ethnicities currently in the country include Albanians (4.9 per cent), Bosnians (8.6 per cent), Muslims (3.3 per cent), Roma (1 per cent) and Croats (0.9 per cent).
About 5 percent of the people who took part in the census refused to declare their ethnicity.
Montenegro's largest town remains Podgorica with 187,000 inhabitants, or 30 percent of the country's population.
Montenegro's prime minister has condemned leaks of alleged census results, which show that the number of Serbs in the country has increased since the last headcount in 2003.
Once a common sight, turtle doves and quails are increasingly rare in Europe - thanks partly to illegal poaching which is also rampant in Serbia.
The impact of the failed coup and the huge subsequent crackdown in Turkey is having an impact that extends well beyond the country's frontiers.

Connecticut Home Sales Decline Again
For the third month in a row, single-family home sales in Connecticut fell in September, posting a 14.25% drop from a year earlier, a new report said.
Meanwhile, September condominium sales in Connecticut dropped 23% to their lowest level in more than 20 years, according to Warren Group, a real-estate data firm. and author of the report.
Year-to-date home sales through September, buoyed by the federal home-buyer tax credit, totaled 18,951, up 10.1% over the year-earlier period.
"The tax credit loaded sales into the first half of the year and when it expired, the momentum did not carry forward," said Warren Group CEO Timothy Warren. "Now there are fewer people ready to make home purchases in the second half of the year."
The median price for single-family homes in Connecticut rose about 2% to $245,000 in September from the month a year earlier. The year-to-date median home price is $250,000, up from $244,000 in the year-earlier period.
Condo median prices also posted a slight increase of less than 1% to $183,500 in September from the same month last year. The year-to-date median condo price through September inched up more than 2% to $181,000 from the same period last year.

A letter was sent home Tuesday for students of Saranac Community Schools to inform parents of alleged inappropriate relationship between a staff member and former students from more than 10 years ago.
Due to the allegations, the staff member has been placed on paid non-disciplinary administrative leave.
"The district took immediate action to contact the appropriate authorities and we are cooperating fully with the investigation. Because of the extended timeline of the alleged actions, we are being very cautious in our investigation and are working in full cooperation with the sheriff's department and district attorneys as the allegations are from more than a decade ago," Saranac Community Schools Superintendent Maury Geiger said in the letter.
As per state law, the staff member will not perform any work duties or attend school functions until a "complete and thorough" investigation has been conducted by the district and local authorities. The non-disciplinary paid administrative leave was noted as a precautionary measure.
"In closing, even though this allegation is being made regarding alleged actions from more than a decade ago, we take this allegation very seriously and are cooperating fully with local authorities in the investigation," said Geiger in the letter.
Geiger added that he and other members of staff and administration at Saranac Community Schools take the safety of students seriously, and will not tolerate inappropriate relationships between staff members and students, whether those be in the past, present or future.
Those who may have information pertaining to this investigation are asked to contact the Saranac Community Schools Superintendent's office at 616-642-1400 and/or the Ionia County Sheriff's Detective Office at 616-527-5363.

Police fire tear gas at protesters in Togo capital
LOME, Togo Witnesses say police used tear gas to disperse some 20,000 protesters in the West African nation of Togo.
Tuesday's protests, which began as peaceful demonstrations against the adoption of a new electoral code, left at least 20 people injured and witnesses said at least five people were arrested.
Togo is due to hold legislative and municipal elections in October. But Togolese opposition parties have expressed disagreement about a new formula for the redrawing of boundaries for constituencies.
Adrien Kpogo, one of the protest organizers, says there must be consensus or "we will chase them out of power through a revolution."
President Faure Gnassingbe seized power in 2005 after the death of his father, a former dictator. The country's 2010 election handed victory once more to the same family that has ruled Togo for nearly half a century.

AbstractRecent component technology innovations will be combined with new materials available to significantly improve the energy density and cycle life of sealed rechargeable nickel-zinc prismatic batteries. The zinc electrode has long been recognized as having a high energy density, but the nickel-zinc system has been limited in life by separators which require electrolyte concentrations. Electrolyte concentrations are not optimum for electrode perfor- mance because of solubility and replating of zinc to form treeing (and consequent shorting) and shape change. The objective of the proposed program is to demonstrate the feasibility of the battery with improvements in separator, electrolyte concentration, and positive active material density, and to reach goals of performance which will provide a battery of cells that conveniently fit in a belt or vest and can provide sufficient energy for ventricular assist.

Beautifully constructed table top, chairs so-so in terms of construction and comfort.
Experienced some problems with delivery of this 5-piece set. It was missing two chairs and complete assembly instructions. Contacted Customer Service, and everything was worked out. The chairs are sturdy with wide, comfortable seats and backs. The side brackets do not fit tightly against the chair legs, allowing the small pegs to be seen. It appears the angle of the side brackets do not exactly match up with the angle of the legs. This bothers me but not sure what to do about it. The table is unique, beautiful, and massive. It was very easy to assemble, but I needed help turning it over. The chairs were more difficult to assemble, but after the first one was completed, the other ones were easier. I love this beautiful dining set and highly recommend it for its uniqueness and beauty.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Looks the same.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Almost excellent
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Description was accurate.
I can't believe the quality of this dining table! It is elegant & modern, and it makes my dining room look beautiful! The wood is sturdy yet beautiful, and I can tell it is not cheaply constructed. Putting the set together was a snap!
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? it was a perfect match!
- How is the quality of the product? it's an excellent quality dining table that i'm sure my family will use for years to come.
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? yes

Thomasina Mix (Tom's daughter)
Yes, you're absolutely right, Tom's namesake daughter never appeared in a feature film. At least as an adult. But, apparently, it wasn't for the lack of trying. The birth in 1922 of Thomasina Mix to Tom and his then-wife Victoria Forde; the subsequent custody battle over the little girl; her inheriting her father when he so tragically died in a car accident in Arizona; well, all that is thoroughly discussed elsewhere and in more detail than I can provide. But recently I came across a little tidbit that may interest fans of Tom and/or B-Westerns in general. In 1946, the photo seen above was published in that year's edition of the Academy Players Directory, the industry casting guide, and in the category of "Leading Women," no less. Proof positive that Thomasina wished to follow in her late father's footsteps.
But there is actually more proof, albeit of a more negative kind. Also in 1946, in March to be more precise, in his suit for divorce, Thomasina's husband, Bernard J. Mattthews, alleged that "Thomasina Victoria Mix is more interested in a film career than she is in caring for her four children." This in response to Thomasina's counter suit "for separate maintenance on allegations of cruelty."
She was granted a divorce but, alas, no film work seems to have come her way.
24 comments:
That's interesting, as it goes against my own knowledge of her, as my best friend for many years, during which she showed great interest and pride in her now-adult children, and zero interest in the movie business, or even the media. I guess people change in time.ReplyDeleteReplies

John ,what was your association with Thomasina ...She has lived in New Zealand for the past 30 years(now 90) travelling back generally to San Francisco annually to see her grandchildren and adopted daughter ....It is unlikely she will come again as her eyesight is failing.Delete
Does anyone know about the whereabouts of the portrait that Albert Victor Ballin painted in 1925 of Thomasina Mix, age 3, decked out in full English riding kit with sombrero? It's reproduced in the "Silent Worker," viewable online (http://dspace.wrlc.org/view/ImgViewer?img=30&url=http://dspace.wrlc.org/doc/manifest/2041/39717). I'd love to obtain a good high-resolution image of that poignant portrait for a retrospective of Ballin's work.Delete
Sorry I didn't see the reply earlier... or know the state of her health. Sorry to learn that.Delete
Is that Gordon? I knew Thomasina as Tommy Gunn - married to Gordon Gunn. That was through the 70s. We did a lot together - a local newspaper, community shop and so on.
All my best to her. She is a very fine lady.

I'm sure your experience with Ms. Mix reflects the true woman. She probably never was that keen on following in her parents' footsteps. I can easily imagine it being a case of noblesse oblige for the young Thomasina. And should we really believe entirely what is stated in a divorce suit?ReplyDelete
Her father, Tim Mix, was killed in Arizona, not Oklahoma.ReplyDelete
James EMc, you're absolutely right and I have corrected the mistake. I don't know quite how I could have made this particular error; I even visited the site once. Shame on me!ReplyDelete

One of the most successful applications of image analysis and understanding, face recognition has received significant attention. There are at least two reasons for the trend: the first is the wide range of commercial and law enforcement applications and the second is the availability of feasible technologies. In general, few methods of face recognition are in practice: feature based face recognition methods, eigen face based, line based, elastic bunch graph method and neural network based methods. All have their possibilities and features. In the neural network approach automatic detection of eyes and mouth is followed by a spatial normalization of the images. The classification of the normalized images is carried out by hybrid neural network that combines unsupervised and supervised methods for finding structures and reducing classification errors respectively. The line-based is a type of image-based approach. It does not use any detailed biometric knowledge of the human face. These techniques use either the pixel-based bi-dimensional array representation of the entire face image or a set of transformed images or template sub-images of facial features as the image representation. An image-based metric such as correlation is then used to match the resulting image with the set of model images. In the context of image-based techniques, two approaches are there namely template-based and neural networks. In the template-based approach, the face is represented as a set of templates of the major facial features, which are then matched with the prototypical model face templates.

25 People Shot During NYC's First Warm Weekend
At least six people were killed.
At least six New Yorkers were killed and another nineteen wounded by gunfire in less than 48 hours this weekend, the New York Daily News reports, marring the summerlike sunshine. It sucks to remember annually that with insane heat often comes insane crime, but the entire city sans Staten Island felt it on Saturday and Sunday: Twelve people were shot in Brooklyn, eight in the Bronx, four in Queens, and one in Manhattan. In Bed-Stuy, an 11-year-old girl was hit amid gang violence and might never walk again. In the Bronx, a 15-year-old girl took a bullet to the leg while pushing a baby stroller. "We should have more gun control," her mother said. "I wish they could just make guns extinct, period."
"Context on shootings this wknd: fewest for that week in a decade," tweeted Mayor Bloomberg's press secretary Marc La Vorgna this morning. "For year, shootings down 27% from record low. What we're doing is working."

A shunt or other cerebrospinal fluid diversion procedure may be needed.
In selected patients in whom a portion of the tumor has been resected, the patient may be observed without further disease-directed treatment, particularly if the pace of tumor regrowth is anticipated to be very slow. Approximately 50% of patients with less-than-gross total resection may have disease that remains progression-free at 5 to 8 years, supporting the observation strategy in selected patients.[11]
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is usually reserved until progressive disease is documented [16,21] and may be further delayed through the use of chemotherapy, a strategy that is commonly employed in young children.[22,23] For children with low-grade gliomas for whom radiation therapy is indicated, conformal radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, or stereotactic radiation therapy approaches appear effective and offer the potential for reducing the acute and long-term toxicities associated with these modalities.[24]; [25][Level of evidence: 3iDiii] Care must be taken in separating radiation-induced imaging changes from disease progression during the first year after radiation, especially in patients with pilocytic astrocytomas.[26,27,28]; [29][Level of evidence: 2A]; [30][Level of evidence: 2C]; [31][Level of evidence: 3iiiDi]; [32][Level of evidence: 3iiiDii]; [15,33][Level of evidence: 3iiiDiii]
Radiation therapy results in long-term disease control for most children with chiasmatic and posterior pathway chiasmatic gliomas, but may also result in substantial intellectual and endocrinologic sequelae, cerebrovascular damage, and possibly an increased risk of secondary tumors.[8,34,35,36]; [30][Level of evidence: 2C]
Radiation therapy and alkylating agents are used as a last resort for patients with NF1, given the theoretically heightened risk of inducing neurologic toxic effects and second malignancy in this population.[37] Children with NF1 may be at higher risk for radiation-associated secondary tumors and morbidity due to vascular changes.
Second surgery
An alternative to immediate radiation therapy is subtotal surgical resection, but it is unclear how many patients will have stable disease and for how long.[8]
Given the side effects associated with radiation therapy, postoperative chemotherapy may be initially recommended.

On the far right, bottom of the photo, press the circle button for a panoramic view of the Milky Way.
I love astronomy and do get the photo of the day from NASA. I don't like it enough to learn the names of the constellations and stars. Of course, I know the usual ones ... the Dippers and Cassiopea, stuff like that.
According to Tyson, when the Milky Way and Andromeda collide, there will not be too much collision because the stars will dance and circle around each other and mingle their dust clouds.
Fasten your seatbelts, future earthlings.
I understand that Andromeda and our Milky Way will collide.
In about five billion years.
Does anyone else get NASA's Astronomy Pic of the Day?
Search on NASA APOD. Every day a different pic.
I've made it my Firefox browser homepage.
My computer wouldn't show "NASA's Largest Picture Ever Taken" so I had to hunt for it. Finally found it and it was amazing how much I could zoom-in on it.
The only thing I ever did was try to work up a comedy act with a partner. Gave it up when the bruises got to be too obvious. I always liked being part of a team. Especially in the obligatory "precision" numbers.
There were three of us in the bear suits, and nobody could see my face, or even tell if I was male or female (because of the padding.) We had to be "cute and friendly" so that children wouldn't start screaming (they did anyway) when we handed them giant lollipops..... Southern kids were the worst....the kids in Mexico City were not only enchanted, they wanted to follow us back onto the ice.. We learned how to say "too slippery" in Spanish, but we really had to yell it inside those heads.
OK! If that is good enough for you, it is good enough for me to hear. But you must have felt like standing out when you were skating professionally! You were so pretty, and your style was so fresh. Even when you were in a costume of a bear or whatever it was didn't you feel like putting your whole self into acting like the bear?
But I really don't WANT to matter! I like being anonymous and one of many, rather than something "special." I loved to hear Dana Carvey's "Church Lady's" sarcastic, "Well, isn't that special?" That's how I feel about most things and people.
My sister was obsessing tonight about how crappy she thought our high school was...except none of the stuff she was carrying on about meant Jack Schidt to me. We see, and saw... everything 180deg. differently.
She was one of the chorus of "Music Man" her senior year (and was pissed because she didn't get a bigger part), I didn't give a damn about any of the student productions when I went there...didn't even go see them. I played the bass drum in the marching band, but only because I wanted to go to the games on the band bus with my friends, and I can't twirl a baton or read music. I NEVER wanted to be a "star"! I just want to be a grain of sand on the beach.
Felaine, there is another way to think about these wonderful sky photos. You do matter! You are made of the stuff of stars, Carl Sagan told us so, and so has Neil deGrasse Tyson. We have within us the molecules that come from stars that exploded and gather into the form that we so lovingly know as Felaine. There is no one exactly like you in the universe, never has been, never will be. You are one. You are all that you are created to be.
I took each of those images to Full Screen...and then magnified them some more.
That's all I can think of to say. Just YUMMY!
I have an atheist friend in DC that I wish I could get to join us in here, he's a hoot! Anyroad he grew up in a small town in Iowa, and it wasn't till he was in the army that he found out that most of the smaller "stars" he liked looking at at night were actually whole galaxies.
I look at Hubble photos of colliding galaxies and wonder if there's any intelligent, or sapient, life in any of them. Wish I'd had the nerve to speak to Carl Sagan when he was on the KCET lot filming/taping "Cosmos." I walked onto his "Starship of the Imagination" set a coupla times when nobody was there.... It was a LOT smaller than it looked on the screen.
Joan and Patricia, you two have been helping me so much to get over my sh*tty morning today. There isn't anything that I enjoy more than looking at the universe and realizing that I don't really matter all that much.
Thank you!

When sexual cannibalism presents a sexual conflict, one expects to find male traits that reduce the risk of cannibalism. In sexually cannibalistic species, selection is thought to have favored the evolution of male approach behaviors that reduce the probability that the female will kill the male. We tested the hypothesis that male mantids change their approach behavior in response to wind to reduce the risk of being noticed by females. Time between detection of the female by the male and mating was shorter under windy than windless conditions. Sexual approach behavior was observed more frequently under windy than windless conditions. Moreover, this behavior was observed more frequently when the female was walking than when the female was not walking under windy conditions. The detection rate of male mantids by females was significantly lower on swaying leaves than on fixed leaves. Our results thus indicate that male mantids were more active in response to wind. Therefore, we suggest that the male's quick approach strategy toward females when the wind is blowing at short range is adaptive in reducing the risk of detection by females.

A politician is pushing Boris Johnson to find money to restore Croydon's waterways in order to reduce the chance of flooding in the borough.
Sutton and Croydon London Assembly Member Steve O'Connell decided to put forward a motion at the Assembly after visiting the flood zone of Purley, Kenley and Whyteleafe last week.
Speaking after the motion was carried at Friday's meeting of the London Assembly (Plenary) committee Mr O'Connell said: "This past week of flooding has weighed heavy on me, seeing my constituents in distress is something I hope to never see again.
"The Mayor has truly stepped up, and has put together the beginnings of a strategy to protect against any future exceptional weather, but I want to see him go further.
"In the same way the people of Croydon have gone above and beyond to help each other, I want to see London go above and beyond also.
"This motion asks the Mayor to find more funds to prevent flooding and provide extra protection to many of our rivers and flood basins."
If funding is approved by London's Mayor it would be used to restore rivers and flood basins to their natural states, increasing their capacity to absorb and hold water.

Should a Sperm Donor Share Custody?
She never would have agreed to let him be the donor if she had known he was going to expect to be active in parenting. Had he known she didn't want him involved, he never would have done it. Who won the case? You be the judge.
When Daryl Hendrix got the call that the twins were being born, he sped to his local hospital in Topeka, Kansas. The security guard at the entrance called the labor-and-delivery floor: "The father's here," he announced. But as the guard heard the response from the floor nurse, his face fell.
"You're not allowed up there," the guard told Hendrix.
"You've got to be kidding," Hendrix said.
The twins' mother, Samantha Harrington, said the father was not welcome. Hendrix was surprised. Nine months earlier, he'd handed Harrington, a longtime friend, a container of his sperm to take with her to a fertility doctor. According to Hendrix, the two prospective parents—she, an unmarried attorney; he, an unmarried businessman—had an oral agreement to share custody should Harrington conceive. She denied this.
On May 19, 2005, the day after being turned away, Hendrix arrived at the hospital with a video camera and was able to catch a glimpse of the twins in the nursery—the first and last time he saw them. Hendrix soon learned that Harrington's attorney had filed a Child in Need of Care petition in Shawnee County District Court that morning. The petition aimed to sever Hendrix's paternal rights on the grounds that he was "unfit" because he didn't provide emotional or financial support to Harrington during her pregnancy. He later countered that she never made any specific demands and that he would now pay his share of support for the children, as well as reimburse Harrington for some of her prenatal medical expenses.
But the issue of custody remained the biggest source of conflict. "She never would have agreed to let him be the donor if she had known he was going to expect to be active in parenting," the petition explained. On the contrary, Hendrix says now, had he known she didn't want him involved, "I never would have done it." According to the petition, Harrington chose a known donor—instead of using a sperm bank, where donors must remain anonymous and sign away their rights—only because she wanted access to him in case of any future medical issues with the kids.
Hendrix then filed his own petition to establish his paternity status. He requested joint custody and a visitation schedule with the children.
Several days later, Harrington filed again, this time invoking a 1994 Kansas statute stating that a man who donates sperm is not viewed as the legal father unless it's agreed to in writing. The fact that Kansas sperm donors even have an opportunity to "opt in" to parenthood through a written agreement is unusual, says Joan Heifetz Hollinger, a family law expert at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, who supported Harrington's position. In most states, there are no such options. "If you provide sperm to a woman other than your wife," Hollinger says, "you are not the father."
Harrington, now 35, and Hendrix, 47, agreed on one thing: They had nothing in writing.
Content continues below ad
She next motioned to dismiss his petition because, under Kansas law, he had no standing to file it—he was a sperm donor and nothing more. In December 2005, the Shawnee County District Court agreed: "Hendrix is found not to be the legal father."
Hendrix took it to the next step. A year later, he sat in a wood-paneled courtroom in the Kansas Supreme Court, hoping to overturn the lower court's decision. Flanked by a large group of friends, Hendrix listened as his legal team argued that the donor statute was unconstitutional because it denied Hendrix his "right to care, custody, and control of his children." Hendrix's attorney also cited the mother's petition, which referred to Hendrix as the "father" 87 times.
Hollinger and 20 other family law professors filed a friend of the court brief on behalf of Harrington, arguing that Hendrix's rights hadn't been violated, because the legislature had made it clear that he didn't have any: "He is not a legal father unless he and the mother agree otherwise in writing." At the hearing, Harrington's attorney said as much to the judges: Hendrix, she said, was "out of luck."
Is the statute unconstitutional? Should Harrington share custody? Or is Hendrix, indeed, out of luck?

There were no agreements in writing, and the man was solely a donor. Although he technically is the father, he has no legal rights in this situation.
ALWAYS get agreements in WRITING! Harrington should not have given his sperm away without a written agreement. Maybe he should try to have some children with someone else before he gets too old. Then he can enjoy raising his children. He was a fool to agree to whatever it was he supposedly agreed to orally.
It's sad. We have a society full of deadbeat fathers, and we push and push for them to take responsibility (financial being the only legal responsibility we really can MAKE them take, and even then it doesn't always work out). Here we have a guy who has been fighting for years to see and know and love twins he is sure he fathered, and he is continually denied.
I feel sorry for him, and as a woman I tip my hat to all loving fathers. I also offer this piece of advice: ALWAYS get agreements in WRITING!
Harrington signed as a DONOR not as a father. Apparently he didn't understand that a donor means you give someone something and don't expect anything back. He shouldn't get custody because he didn't offer moral or financial support during the pregnancy. If you say that she never asked for anything during the pregnancy that doesn't mean she didn't want anything.

Hope she never wants child support.
If he cares so much, I hope he opened a college fund account that he contributes to monthly so the twins will get a great education. Then at least he has done something beside donate his sperm.
If a sperm donor wanted to help and be involved in the kid's lives, the mother should agree to it and not be stubborn. Raising kids is hard work, let alone raising twins. Having extra hands is helpful to the mother and he is the biological father. If he wants to be involved in the twin's lives, the mother should let him.
It's like King Solomon all over again. Isn't anybody thinking of the children? It doesn't appear to me they are. Everyone is thinking only of themselves. I really can't imagine what kind of a mother she will be, she appears to me to only be thinking of herself. And what kind of a jerk of a father, gives no support to the mother, and shows up after the kids are born. Neither one, IMHO, will win parent of the year award, but having said that, I think both of them need to grow up, and be in the life of the children, if only for the children's sake. I wonder what they will think of their "mother" when they grow up, and learn she has a very tiny heart, and kept them away from their natural father. I thought the best solution would have been for her to have custody, and the father to have visitation, just like a divorced couple. Or maybe on second thought take them away from both, and give them to two people who would be good and loving parents. (Only kidding unless the children continue to be abused, and yes I think it is abuse to deny a child at least some kind of a relationship with their parent, unless of course it is unsafe to do so).
I want to share my testimony on how i was able to get back my husband around December and with the help of Dr Ekaka because my man left me for over 3years and went on with another lady and i was unable to move on with my life because of the love i have for him last month i saw a testimony on the internet on how Dr Ekaka help someone with love spell so i never believe it but just have to try my faith which i did and i contacted him on his email: firstname.lastname@example.com and he told me what i need to do and after 2days i received a call from my husband asking me to come back to him it was all like a dream to me i am so happy now as we are back together again thanks to Dr Ekaka and i will advice anyone in need of help to contact him….
What kind of mother purposefully denies their child access to their father? It would take a cold heated (female dog) to do that. Legal definition aside, biologically he is the father and did everything he could to do what women have been wanting men to do for decades. The problem is he messed up by not getting it in writing and when it comes to custody, NO STATE is friendly WHAT SO EVER to men. Period. He didn't get it in writing, and she took advantage. I'd have to say that by purposefully denying them access to a well rounded father speaks volumes about her parenting.
I just think it's sad that there are so many deadbeat dads (and moms) in the world, and here there is someone who actually wants to be present, and isn't allowed.
noone that makes a donation expects future attachment. The original plan was for him to be a sperm "donor". This fact belies that any future attachment was expected. Although his change of heart in wanting to be involved is chivalry, he cannot expected the mother to change her life plans because he changed his mind.
This is in my own words deemed an easy complex situation., if a DNA were to be taken, then yes Hendrix is the father, however he did the one thing in this world today that is difficult, he trusted Harrington's word and she took advantage., I feel this law is awful in some instances where there is no using this situation as an advantage to harass nor abuse the mother and or children. I believe its time to rework some of these laws as well, because life is not just in shades of black and white, laws should not be either. Unfortunately Hendrix will continue to lose in this matter which is sad, but in the end those children will get older and arrive at an understandable age, and with this comes reality and truths., and when Hendrix has the chance to explain to them what their mother did which was awful, and is ruthless., however will Harrington be able to explain it all away and deal with the fact that they can no longer look at her as they have in the past? When the past catches up with her how will she in not being able to take this back along with losing a longtime friend and others because of her deeds look at herself? Possibility also exists Harrington never intended to have any man in her life sharing those babies she may just have a significant other and together they devised a scheme to entrap Hendrix for the sperm for the mere purpose of the two of them to have a complete family and they felt better knowing the donor than not!
Two things are undoubted. First, Harrington is the biological father; second, he acted as a jerk during her pregnancy, whatever reasons he has got.
A little personal opinion on whether Harrington should share the custody or out of luck. Firstly, it depends. Secondly, it depends not on mother's (Hendrix here) preference or situation, but on father's, i.e. Harrington's. One is whether he is willing to share the custody and to be a satisfied father; the other one is whether he will be able to be a good father.
A little personal suggestion to Hendrix. Every child needs a father. For the good of beloved children, it might be better to get rid of those self-involved and vain thoughts.

Prior to launching her delightful children's clothing brand Je Suis en CP !, French designer Céline Prost created wedding dresses. In 2009, Prost reconnected with her whimsical side and began designing kids' fashion marked by soft, soothing colors, original prints, and delicate fabrics. Made for little ones ages zero to eight years, Je Suis en CP ! clothing is both playful yet practical. For girls, think sleeveless cotton sun dresses that can double as winterwear when layered over a warm undershirt and under a cashmere cardigan. For boys, crisp button-down shirts and striped linen overalls are both comfy enough for the playroom yet appropriate for outings with Mom and Dad. Highlights of Je Suis en CP !'s collection include the Like Mummy Dress, a bright-pink A-line number embellished with rickrack and a front pocket in contrasting floral print; the cheery floral-print Nouette dress; and the charming, workwear-inspired mechanic romper in bright blue.

To make a long story short. I can do what I need to do, (put a border around some text next to a picture) by coding manually and putting attributes in my style sheet.
My brother, who I am doing this work for wants to be able to add content the page though and he can only work in the WP visual editor so I am trying to set up the page only through the visual editor for him and using the plugin "Tinymce Advanced" to create the table.
Here is my problem. The picture below is what I want to achieve.
Like I said, I'm using TinyMCE Advance to create the border and for some reason, the WP visual editor WILL show a border around my text like you see below.
but the output on a webpage shows this
I cannot figure out for the life of me, why a border won't show. Like I said, I can do this in CSS but I want to be able to only do this in the Visual WP editor so I can show my brother how to get this done for himself.
Here is the code:

Mistakes are made in every other human endeavor. Why should nuclear weapons be exempt?….

After I became an American citizen, the thing that stands out so clearly in my mind is the Reagan /Gorbachev summit at Reykjavik. The leaders of the two most powerful nations on earth were actually discussing the elimination of nuclear weapons. Such a breathtaking possibility. I still remember the thrill of it. I'll never forget the photos of a grim President Reagan as he left the summit after the negotiations broke down. Even though the negotiations failed, I think the very talks themselves reassured the world. The world saw that both nations desired to be free of the nuclear curse
