I have been taking fertility supplements since our canceled IUI in January. At first I was buying them from a local health store, but they were pretty expensive. I started looking around online and discovered that Amazon is a GREAT place to order supplements! Not only are they priced really well, but they offer free shipping when you spend $35 (which you probably will), or you can do a prime membership and get "free" two-day shipping anyway. They also have the option to sign up for shipment subscriptions, which is really convenient.
I currently take maca root, l-arginine and royal jelly, which I've written about many times. I take these to improve ovarian function (and hopefully ovulate) and to thicken/strengthen my uterine lining so it's receptive to implantation. I also try to get red raspberry leaf tea in me during the follicular phase of my cycle to tone up my uterine lining, but recently found that I can take it in a pill format, which is sometimes more convenient. Here is what I've been buying:
Buying on Amazon has saved me a lot of money. Amazon makes it easy to get what I need at an affordable price. For me, it's approximately two months worth of supplements for around $40, and considering that it's four supplements I get for that price, I'd say that's pretty good. Plus, I forgot to throw in that my husband also takes the maca with me, so we're both covered with that one.
Here are some of my other posts if you want more info on why I chose these supplements:

Should I Choose an A.B. or B.S. Degree?
The Department of Psychology at UC Davis offers both an A. B. (Bachelor of Arts) and B.S. (Bachelor of Science) degrees. Other than the differences in the major coursework, the differences between the A.B. and B.S. degrees are:
- The B.S. degree requires a total of 90 units in natural science/mathematics in order to fulfill the L&S Area Breadth requirement; in contrast students choosing the A.B. degree fulfill the L&S Area Breadth requirement through filling the GE requirement.
- The A.B. degree requires one years fluency (or 15 units) of a single foreign language; the B.S. has no foreign language requirement.
Graduate and professional schools in general are not concerned with the kind of degree you possess but rather with the courses you have taken. Generally speaking, graduate programs check your GPA, statement of purpose, letters of recommendation and GRE test scores. If you are genuinely interested in math or the natural sciences, you may prefer to go the B.S. route. The A.B. degree may be attractive to students interested in earning a minor or perhaps pursuing a double major, and for students who desire more freedom when choosing their elective psychology courses.
The B.S. and A.B. degrees are equally acceptable for students interested in Psychology graduate school and pre-professional schools (check with the pre-health, pre-law, or pre-graduate advisers in Advising Services, South Hall, for details). There is a good deal of overlap between the B.S. degree and many health program requirements, so those students interested in the health field generally choose the B.S. degree. The important point is to determine what courses would best prepare you for the programs to which you may be applying. For guidance, see a faculty member in your area of interest and check course requirements in individual graduate programs. Also take advantage of campus resources, such as Pre-Graduate Advising and Health Professions Advising. There are additionally many external online resources, such as Gradschools.com and Petersons.com.

Mitzi Dulan, Registered Dietician and sports nutritionist to Major League Baseball and National Football League teams, stresses the importance of eating foods with natural sources of energy during these hectic months. Consuming foods such as fruits and whole grains, and using all-natural honey can enhance summer activities without draining your wallet. Other tips Mitzi gives for extending the dollar in a deliciously effective way include:
- Save green by eating more green! Include more plant-based meals. It's not a secret that meat is one of the most expensive parts of a food budget.
- Take a healthy snack to work. This is a great way to make sure you are getting more healthy foods in your diet.
- A little advanced planning goes a long way. Spend some time each week planning your meals and snacks. Taking a comprehensive grocery list when shopping helps to avoid unwanted items in your cart and ensures you'll have everything you need for the week.
- Whenever possible, shop at farmers' markets. It is a great way to support your local farmers and save money.
Fresh Honey Ginger Syrup (For Fresh Honey Ginger Soda)
Makes about 4 cups
1/2 cup fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups honey
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
Combine ginger, water and honey in a large sauce pan and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes (liquid will reduce by about one quarter). Remove from heat and let cool. Pour (in batches if necessary) into blender or food processor and blend or pulse on medium to extract ginger. Strain out solids with a fine mesh or cloth strainer. Syrup may be stored in the refrigerator at this point for up to one week. Just before using, add citrus juices. Taste and adjust as strength of produce varies.
*If lighter, less spicy ginger flavor is desired skip blending and simply strain.
*Omitting citrus will result in a smooth but spicy honey-ginger syrup.
To Use:
Blend honey ginger syrup with sparkling water, cider, grape juice or unsweetened cranberry juice; or use as a sweetener for lemonade, limeade, ice tea or party punches. Make delicious versions of classic cocktails such as a Mint Julep or a Champagne Cocktail by simply replacing simple syrup or sugar with honey ginger syrup.
Fresh Honey Ginger Soda
For each soda:
Combine 1 part honey ginger syrup to 2 parts sparkling water.
Serve over ice; garnish with fresh lime wedge.
Honey Almond Yogurt Dip
Makes about 1 1/2 quarts
1 quart plain or Greek-style yogurt
1 cup almond butter
3/4 cup honey
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 to 2 tablespoons ginger powder (or 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger), to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons mustard powder, to taste
Toasted almond slices or fresh cilantro, for garnish
Optional: Add hot sauce or chili powder for spice.
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl; blend until smooth. Garnish with toasted almond slices or fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve with sliced fruits and vegetables for dipping.
Honey Quinoa Bread
Makes 1 large loaf (11"x6") or 4 mini loaves (6"x3")
Makes 1 large loaf (11"x6") or 4 mini loaves (6"x3")
1 cup raw quinoa, cooked according to instructions and cooled
1/4 cup oatmeal, cooked according to instructions and cooled
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup honey
3/4 cup warm water
2 teaspoons dry active yeast
1/4 cup sunflower oil (plus more for rising bowl)
3 1/2 to 4 cups white whole wheat flour
Combine quinoa, oatmeal, salt, honey, warm water and yeast, in that order, in a large mixing bowl and let sit for 10 minutes; until foamy. Stir in oil and 1 cup of flour. Continue incorporating the flour using a heavy wooden spoon until dough becomes stiff. Turn dough out onto a floured surface to knead by hand adding enough of the remaining flour so that dough is smooth and elastic and forms a ball that springs back when depressed with a finger; about or 10 to 15 minutes. Place dough ball in a large, lightly oiled bowl turning to completely coat with oil. Cover loosely and place in a warm location to rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours. Punch down dough and shape into a smooth ball(s) to fit one 11"x 6" or 4 6"x3" oiled loaf pans. Tops should be smooth and without seams. Brush or spray tops lightly with water, sprinkle with additional raw quinoa seeds, if desired and allow to rise in a warm location until nearly doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 375°F degrees (350°F for small loaves). Place bread in center oven rack. Check bread in 20 to 30 minutes (cover with foil if the top is browning too quickly), rotate and bake 10 to 15 minutes more or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing to a rack to completely cool. Serve with honey butter.

A PROFESSIONAL cyclist from Upper Beeding has welcomed news of a fast and exciting new cycling event planned for next summer.
The Street Velodrome Series is coming to the south coast and action from the event will be broadcast across 180 countries by the likes of Sky, Channel 4 and Eurosport.
Worthing is one of six locations in the UK to host the pop-up racing competition for professional and amateur riders.
Peter Mitchell, 24, is backing the series' debut in Worthing to be a big success, but says he will not be able to compete himself.
He said: "I know a few riders who have done them. I have heard they are really good fun. Having seen it, it looks incredibly exciting, challenging and dramatic.
"It certainly makes cycling more accessible. Track cycling is the least accessible part of cycling, as you need a track. Road racing you can do wherever you are. There's not really a velodrome within an hour-and-a-half's drive from Upper Beeding."
Peter has had to decline an invitation to take part in the event, as he does not return from his honeymoon until August 3.
"It's a real shame," he said. "I would've loved to have done it."
Worthing Borough Council intends to hold the two-day event at Beach House Grounds, next door to the Splashpoint leisure facility.
Carl Thompson, series director, said: "We are delighted to have the opportunity to bring the excitement and action of the televised Street Velodrome Series to Worthing.
"The south coast resort is an ideal addition to our national tour due to its cycling legacy and the council's ambition to promote greater cycling participation. It has an excellent and growing reputation as a cycle friendly town and an ideal location for cycle tourism, being at the foot of the South Downs. Worthing also boasts one of the country's oldest cycle clubs in the Excelsior Club established 128 years ago."
The action is made up of head-to-head pursuit races between two riders – just like the racing in the Olympic velodrome during London 2012.
Entry for both amateur participants and spectators will be free. All the necessary equipment needed, including race specification bikes, is provided by StreetVelodrome, with each amateur rider also given expert coaching prior to their attempt to qualify to race against the professionals. The total cost is estimated to be £21,500 and will come from council funds.
A report by Scott Marshall, Adur and Worthing council's director for the economy, reads: "The cost to host the event can be offset considerably (and possibly cost neutral) by a mix of selling advertising space for the event and by creating a wider community festival around the event space based on food, drink and crafts stalls."

INFLATABLE INVOLUTE VAWT concept for transportable emergency wind-power and Fair-Fun
All of these designs are built upon the involute spiral, which is essentially the unwinding of the circumference of a circle.
Imagine a blue string wound counterclockwise on a spool of radius one. As it unwinds, the end of the string traces out an involute path.
The distance from the end of the involute curve of a full circle of radius-1 to its origin is 2pi = 6.28..., the circumference of the circle. The successive unwinding can continue indefinitely, with the distance between successive spiral lines equal to the circumference segment of the inner circle being unwound.
Involute segments can also be duplicated in a circular pattern, creating pathways between spirals that are non-constricting.
This and the unique curvature geometry of the involute spiral allow ducts in turbines to capture the force of moving fluids with all the resistance imparted to rotation, not turbulence.
the simplest inflatable would be an inflated rim around the base disk, stiffening the base of each taught fabric sail with radial stiffeners, with a central mast and tension cables below tightening the leading edge of the fabric sail.
3 vanes and 5 vanes -- many variations possible
These pictures show a 15ft diameter by 21 ft high turbine stiffened with 12" diameter rim and spoke tubes and tapered tubes on leading edge of sails.
Tubes stiffened sails, as pictured here, will be much more work. The top will have to be continued with single thick fabric above where the inflated tubes become too small.
I think they will still need to be stiffened with compression spreaders and tension cables as described above.

Manassas Ballet Theatre: Thoughts on Funding for the Arts
MANASSAS, VA…March 7, 2017 – At Manassas Ballet Theatre (MBT), we are all about the arts. Not only do we create and teach dance through choreography, class and performance, but we acknowledge that the support of all forms of art is integral to a healthy, thriving community, society and world. Art inspires imagination and provides a common thread between people and their experiences, and we can't imagine a world without it.
As you may know, our new administration is looking hard at cutting many programs, and the National Endowment for the Arts may very well be on the chopping block. In an email we received last week from Americans for the Arts, we read the following: "According to the New York Times, The White House budget office has drafted a hit list of programs that President Trump could eliminate to trim domestic spending, including longstanding conservative targets like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Legal Services Corporation, AmeriCorps and the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities." Read the New York Times article here: New York TImes: Popular Domestic Programs Face Ax Under First Trump Budget
A quick online search reveals that many are writing about this very subject. To us, the largest takeaway is this: If you are pro jobs and pro economy, you need to be pro arts. The arts are not frivolous and expendable, purely from an economic viewpoint (and not to mention the benefit of arts in education, which we'll write about soon). In all of its forms, the arts are a massive employer – from performing arts centers, theaters and all types of venues (staff including management, marketing, event, technical, and more), performing arts organizations (ballet, symphony, chorale, theater groups and more), and neighborhoods that support theatre patrons with parking, restaurants, and transportation. Employees of universities and other educational groups and schools teach the arts to millions, every day, in every corner of our country. The arts equals commerce – and there is no way around that. Read some interesting facts and figures in this Huffington Post piece: Will Donald Trump and the US Congress Defund The NEA?
To that point, here is a statement from the Americans for the Arts website: "Research by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) shows that the nonprofit and for-profit arts is a $730 billion industry that directly employs 4.8 million arts workers. This represents 4.2 percent of the nation's GDP—a larger share of the economy than transportation, tourism, and agriculture. Arts organizations are resilient and entrepreneurial businesses. They employ people locally, purchase goods and services from within their communities, and market and promote their regions. Arts businesses are rooted locally. These are jobs that cannot be shipped overseas." Read the entire statement here: Americans for the Arts Statement on Arts, Jobs and the Economy
The National Endowment for the Arts, whose 2016 appropriation was 147.9 million (approximately .004 of the federal budget), distributed 80% of that money as grants and awards to individuals and organizations nationwide. Of that, approximately 30% goes to arts organizations with operating budgets of less than $350,000. Without the grants, the struggle to sustain is immense. Read more about what the NEA does on the NEA Quick Facts sheet, found here: https://www.arts.gov/news/facts-and-figures
"The arts are who we are, who we want to be and what we leave behind," said Mark Wolfe, Executive Director of MBT. "In 2013 and 2014, Manassas Ballet Theater was privileged to be the first arts organization in Prince William County to receive a grant from the NEA. The $10,000 grant helped support our educational outreach programming, providing thousands of PWC and Manassas Public School students with free exposure to professional level cultural arts, often a students' first experience with ballet or live orchestra."
MBT Artistic Director Amy Grant Wolfe shares this thought: "This is why I love art: throughout the centuries, our struggles remain the same, and we know that, in the end, our own lives will pass, as surely as the moon. Yet, it is the description of that human struggle through our art forms that ties us together, both now, and throughout time, and that gives us the strength to continue the fight, knowing we are not alone."
A final thought from Winston Churchill, who said: "The arts are essential to any complete national life. The State owes it to itself to sustain and encourage them…. Ill fares the race which fails to salute the arts with the reverence and delight which are their due."
We ask that you think about the importance of the arts in our communities, and celebrate the fiscal and educational contributions they make. Buy a ticket – to see MBT, to see a play, a concert – anything. Support the arts and we promise, you'll see your return on investment.
Manassas Ballet Theatre is a 501c(3) nonprofit corporation founded in 1983. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life in Northern Virginia by providing accessible, affordable professional ballet performances, educational outreach to the community, and the highest caliber of training to students of all levels at the affiliated school, Manassas Ballet Academy. MBT is funded in part by the National Endowment For the Arts, the Virginia Commission of the Arts, Prince William County and the City of Manassas, and is the resident ballet company at the Hylton Performing Arts Center on the Manassas campus of George Mason University.

The First of its Kind - Macedonian Museum
On a warm day in May, a Macedonian Museum was officially opened. It exhibits not only some costumes that are over 100 years old, but represents the Macedonian culture and history with artifacts such as a beaded snake (men used to twirl when dancing) and baby blankets with a coin sewn on, etc. It was the women who labored over the "costumes" or various parts by candlelight, and were worn either daily or on special occasions. These treasures have all been donated to the Canadian Macedonian Historical Society, and presented in a very professional manner. They have been documented as to their source (the name of the village), region, approximate time period and their donors, etc. Despina Bursey, board member, has headed the Museum committee, and worked on it with heart, love and dedication. James and Dena Nicoloff have been a invaluable source of information because of their vast knowledge of Macedonian costumes. They have been collecting for many, many years, while our collection started in 1991, twenty-five years ago. We are now able to preserve, treasure and display them for the community and beyond, to see and be proud of.
The Museum had an auspicious beginning with the Archbishop, His Eminence Metropolitan Metodij along with the priests from St. Dimitrija Solunski MOC Markham in attendance in order to properly bless the Museum. Consul General Jovica Palasevski was also in attendance for the occasion.
The Canadian Macedonian Place has been very generous by allocating space, but also building unique cases in order to display this special part of our history, all to museum qualifications. The Canadian Macedonian Historical Society is very grateful for their donation in having this facility available as part of Canadian Macedonian Place. A museum that both the Society and CMP can be very proud of.
Tony Markovski, President gave a speech welcoming the crowd. He also introduced Despina Bursey, who also mentioned her dedicated team, Dena and James Nicoloff, as Advisors, and Ginny Evans and Kristine Zolis as assistants on the Museum committee. She also mentioned that we welcome donations to the museum. You can call the Historical Society number and leave your name and number, and someone will call you back about your donation. We want to include costumes and pieces from all three regions of Macedonia.This was a very significant opening for the Macedonian community. We hope to be able to have someone in attendance so that this place will be accessible in the future. We will let you know. Check our Society website for further information.

Hello, I'm still experiencing the problem. In fact it has never been solved. Mind you, I've never written to activision rep before now.
My operating platform is PC. IP address is 220.127.116.11; ISP: TPG Internet Pty Ltd; Nat Type setting is always open. My gamer tag on Steam is :
Roo Pellets with e-mail address: email@example.com The problem first occured around around the same time all those other posts were made. I was waiting for something to be done about it without me having to write to someone. Never happened. Never does. That's how Activision rolls. Anyway, if you could have a look at it I'd really appeciate it. Don't see the point in purchasing any other Activision games if down the track the maintenance is this poor.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely
Anton S.
Same Issue here, just got back into playing mw3 for fun and just barely a week into getting into it i have this issue, makes it unplayable for short bouts. I hope they resolve this!
If you don't have anything constructive to add then do not comment.
I'm being constructive by helping people not get their hopes up. If they didn't do anything about all the hacking I doubt they'll do anything about this, old dead game, no source of revenue=they don't care. I hope they prove me wrong but, I'm not gonna hold my breath. You do you though, good luck.
Same problem in Australia.
Im still having the same problem but sended a PM to activision support, it takes times but they answered me always.
Hope find a solution soon

This is the first post for the beginning of my Holiday Shopping Guide. In this post I have included a few recommended shopping sites along with descriptions of what kinds of products they offer. Happy Holidays Everyone!
Still haven't sent out your holiday cards? Here are a few great sites to look over. Amy Adele has the cutest stationary and cards you can find. I also love the fact that they are eco-friendly!
Although Clinique is not a store that sales holiday cards they do have a wonderful offer going on right now which includes FREE holiday cards from Big Brothers Big Sisters. I have done quite a bit of volunteer work with this wonderful organization and love to promote any company that helps them out! So why not purchase a Christmas gift and receive your holiday cards for FREE?!
Vista Print is a great company that I use for a lot of my business printing needs. They offer many of their items either FREE or at a very large discount. Always worth checking out their deals.
Shutterfly is a great site to create online photo sites to share your memories throughout the year which is great for the holiday season. You can also create your holiday gift cards with a personal touch of a family photo.
Here are a few web stores that offer gifts for anyone on your list.
I absolutely LOVE the Personal Creations site! You can literally shop for everyone hard to buy for on your list. A personalized gift is priceless. I am personally purchasing our Christmas ornaments for this year through this store!
I had to throw in the Label Daddy store. This store is great during the holidays. Purchasing labels for all your new items, especially for the children is almost a necessity. Not only their coats they take to school but all the toys the might travel with over the holiday breaks. Label Daddy is also a great way to help keep yourself organized so this year don't forget to label the Christmas decor before putting it back in the attic.
Napster is perfect for the music lover in your life. For the teen you might not know what to get a subscription to Napster would do the trick.
Vans is a great store for children, teens and adults. They don't only have shoes but boots and clothing as well.
Sirius Satellite Radio is not only for music lovers but sports and new addicts as well. Anyone with or without a vehicle would love to have a XM-on-Sirius Radio this holiday season.
Who doesn't love Flowers? When I don't know what to send my grandmother or out of town Aunt for the holidays, flowers always do the trick! What about for co-workers or other non-personal relationships? I believe plants, wine and gift baskets are all great gift giving items to say Happy Holidays.
iTunes is a great place to purchase gift cards, download music or even movies and television series. Most everyone nowadays has an iPod or some sort of MP3 player. This is another great site for gifts.
The Buckle store is another well known store for not only their clothing but accessories as well. Great for anyone on your list.
This concludes Part 1 of my Holiday Shopping Guide. Within the next couple of posts you will hear all about the giveaway taking place on my blog along with Part 2 of the Shopping Guide which will include shopping sites for Women, Men and of course Children!

It has a porch, casual seating on the shore, and a fireplace, full kitchen, restrooms with showers, and other amenities inside. We are an extremely social club, so there are regular events at the clubhouse, and plenty of members choose to socialize there during the races or on any nice evening during the summer.
Boat Storage
Just inside the club entrance is the boat storage area. Members store their boats in assigned spaces, and the Denison University, Ohio State University, and OSU NROTC sailing teams store their boats here as well. We even have a few spaces for member kayaks. Our grounds are secured by a locked gate.
In the Water
We focus on the water in addition to the clubhouse. Three main docks serve the launching area, a courtesy dock and a mooring dock. Some members choose to store their boat in the water during the sailing season in one of our slips.

So often, the faith community sees infertility as a test, or a mystery, and expects those suffering to quietly wait on "God's will" for their lives.
New York, New York (PRWEB) October 21, 2013
What started as Rachel Doll's personal journal now has the potential to change lives and become a bestseller. Debut author Rachel Doll reaches out to her community to help fund the production of her book, "Beating on the Chest of God: A Faith Journey Through Infertility."
Dreams can come true; just ask the 44% of those who have successfully launched their project with the help of thousands of supporters. With Kickstarter, brilliant ideas have the opportunity to flourish. No longer hindered by insufficient funds, authors and others are discovering that any creative project is feasible. Doll is utilizing this service by asking for help to reach her goal of raising $24,000 before November 20th. The book has a publication date of March 2014.
Doll has struggled with infertility and understands the heartbreak, questions, and fear that so often come with infertility. She seeks to empower women like her as well as the friends and family that surround them to bring clarity and connection in an uncertain time.
"So often, the faith community sees infertility as a test, or a mystery, and expects those suffering to quietly wait on "God's will" for their lives. I believe God created us as passionate, intelligent creatures and expects us to use the gifts we have been given to pursue our dreams WITH God, not as passive onlookers," says Doll.
With the help of her publisher, Russell Media, Doll's Kickstarter campaign has been launched and is ready for visitors and donations. Doll also plans to speak at a variety of venues in order to further the reach of the book.

Datapath.io vs. CDN
Datapath.io and a content delivery network (CDN) are similar in the problem they would like to solve, but different in execution. Datapath.io and a CDN are both trying to achieve web and application performance improvement. A CDN is optimal for static content optimization, whereas Datapath.io is optimal for dynamic content optimization.
A CDN is interested in improving web and application performance and accomplishes this through the caching of content on edge servers. Edge servers are servers located close to your users. This creates a shorter distance that data will need to travel.
Datapath.io is also interested in improving web and application performance. At Datapath.io, we accomplish this through reengineering how the Internet routes your traffic.
Currently Internet traffic is routed the shortest logical distance, and this may not always be the fastest. So Datapath.io scans the Internet and finds the fastest network routes. With that done, we are able to provide 60% performance improvements.
Why You Would Use Datapath.io with your CDN
The importance of how you optimize network performance has to do with different types of content: static content and dynamic content.
A CDN uses content caching to shorten the geographical distance data needs to travel. This works well for static content but gets problematic when it comes to dynamic content. With static content, you can cache this on edge servers with no issues. The reason is static content does not change very often, therefore it does not need to be updated. Content that is not continually being updated does not need to make it back to its origin servers.
But dynamic content is continually changing and it means that content needs to be requested from its origin server for every request. The result is content caching not being very effective.
This is why dynamic content optimization with Datapath.io is optimal for dynamic content, and can be done in conjunction with your CDN. Datapath.io routes your dynamic content away from your CDN. By doing this, you will improve the performance of your dynamic content and you can lower your CDN transit costs.
We call this content delivery network optimization.
To learn more about how to optimize your content delivery network, you can download the CDN Optimization Whitepaper.

It may soon be legal to catch dolphin, wahoo in Bahamas, bring back just fillets
▪ South Florida anglers may soon be able to bring dolphin and wahoo fillets back home from the Bahamas. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, meeting earlier this month in New Bern, North Carolina, adopted new rules eliminating requirements that the two species be brought back in whole condition.
The new measures would count two wahoo or dolphin fillets as one fish, regardless of the size, and require that snapper, grouper, dolphin and wahoo fillets have the skin intact for identification purposes. Current Bahamian regulations allow possession of 18 total dolphin, wahoo, tuna and kingfish per vessel in any combination. All U.S. bag and possession limits would apply. Recreational boats would have to have stamped and dated passports proving the party was fishing in the Bahamas, as well as a valid Bahamian fishing and cruising permit. They would not be allowed to stop and fish in U.S. waters on the way home. The measure now goes to NOAA Fisheries for final review, then to the Secretary of Commerce for approval.
In other action, the council received a stock assessment of hogfish from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission showing the species is overfished and undergoing overfishing. Because the Southeast Florida population overlaps the Gulf of Mexico, the panel agreed to work with the Gulf fishery management council on measures to end overfishing and rebuild the stock.
▪ A Swedish company has just released a new app aimed at helping anglers catch more and bigger fish. FishBrain Forecast (www.fishbrain.com) combines crowd-sourced catch data with artificial intelligence to predict optimal times to catch redfish, black drum, spotted sea trout, common snook and largemouth bass. The app is intended to improve upon the solunar tables, in use since the 1920s, that claim to predict the best fishing and hunting times based on moon phase. With more than 240,000 catches already logged, FishBrain's proprietary computer model uses weather, tide, moon phase and other data to produce a fishing forecast for a given region. The company hopes to expand to include more species as it gains traction.
▪ Certified scuba divers and landlubbers alike are invited to attend Operation Dive 24 starting at noon Dec.27 at Jules Undersea Lodge in Key Largo. The 24-hour event is a fundraiser for the nonprofit Worldwide Christian Scuba Divers Organization (wcsdo.org). Certified divers may sign up for blocks of time to spend submerged in the region's only underwater habitat located 21 feet deep in a protected lagoon. For non-divers, there will be volleyball, water sports, and arts and crafts. Admission is free, but funds raised from pledges will be used to build houses, fix plumbing and buy eyeglasses, shoes and toys for children living on Caribbean islands where the group travels to dive, according to spokesman Howard Scott.
"These are divers who love to dive, and they also love to help people," Scott said.
The organization has several chapters in the United States and is working to set up a chapter in Key Largo.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is on course to change the lives of everyone who uses the internet — and that's a whole lot of people, most likely including you.
The FCC has set December 14 as the date for a vote on repealing the principle of "net neutrality" that now governs the internet and replacing it with an order called "Restoring Internet Freedom."
Note to the FCC: we have a free internet now. It doesn't need to be restored.
Under net neutrality, Internet Service Providers (ISP)s could not discriminate against legal content.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Country music star Alan Jackson has included one of the signature songs from The Andy Griffith Show on his new CD, The Bluegrass Album.
There Is A Time was written by Rodney Dillard and Mitch Jayne, of The Dillards, who performed on the hit TV show as members of the hillbilly family, The Darlings.
The song was sung by Maggie Peterson, who played the role of their sister, Charlene.
That song was written 50 years ago, said co-writer Dillard. We wrote the song for the love of it, never expecting to see it become a major hit.
Dillard isnt sure why Jackson re-recorded the song, but that doesnt matter.
I was thrilled when my publisher told me Alan was going to use the song. I love his music and his writing. Im a huge fan. His picking it up gave me the assurance that it was a very high quality piece of music, Dillard said.
I remember singing that song very well, Peterson said.
We were in Andys living room in Mayberry. I was trying to betroth Andy to my doll, my daughter, Andelina, she said.
On the television show, Charlene was always trying to nab the towns high sheriff Andy Taylor to be her husband. But none of her ploys ever worked, even when her brothers and father got involved.
When I finished singing the song, Andy stopped playing and said, Thats the prettiest song I ever heard. And that was the same episode where Barney got a little funny after getting into some mulberry squeezins in the living room, Peterson added.
She said she was thrilled when Dillard called her with the news about Jacksons new CD.
I cant wait to hear the song. Ive never heard anyone else but us do it, she laughed.
Jacksons CD will be released Sept. 24.
Originals that Jackson penned for the album include such titles as Blacktop, Blue Ridge Mountain Song and Mary. Covers on The Bluegrass Album include The Dillards There Is A Time, John Andersons Wild and Blue and a ¾-time version of Bill Monroes seminal Blue Moon of Kentucky.
Jackson enlisted Scott Coney (acoustic guitar), Sammy Shelor (banjo), Adam Steffey (mandolin), Tim Crouch (fiddle), Tim Dishman (bass), Rob Ickes (dobro) and Ronnie Bowman and Don Rigsby (vocals) to produce the acoustic album.

Hiya, Stitchers!
I was playing around with photos of my designs this weekend,
and was having fun arranging them into color groups.
(It was too hot to stitch, so I decided to mix and match
some of my cooler blue and aqua pieces,
to see how they'd look next to each other...)
Then I got even fancier and created a "four-patch" photo
with four designs of the same or similar colors.
This one highlights those serene blues and teals.
So I thought I'd share my first DESIGN QUIZ with you savvy stitchers.
Can you name the four Laura J. Perin Designs I used
to create the BLUE FOUR-PATCH below??
And, if you're a lover of all things BLUE, how many of them
do you have in your stash??
ANSWERS, clockwise from top left:
Bargello and Butterfly (Samper Collection)
Color Study: Flying Geese (American Quilt Collection)
Blue Butterfly (Sampler Collection)
Moorish Tiles (American Quilt Collection)

The NikeLab Transform Women's Jacket helps you quickly adjust to weather changes. Its two-in-one system lets you pack and unpack a lightweight, water-repellent layer as needed from a warm Nike Tech Fleece. An A-line design lends a modern silhouette.
Two-In-One Adaptability
An interior strap system allows you to pack and unpack the hooded, water-repellent shell without removing the Nike Tech Fleece layer. When the sky is clear, use the two side straps to retract the shell into the fleece layer's back pocket. When the rain picks up, release the shell for coverage.
Water Repellent and Warm
The shell features bonded seams and a DWR (durable, water-repellent) finish that helps keep out the elements, while the soft Nike Tech Fleece inner jacket has a drop back hem and mesh liner for coverage and breathable warmth without the weight.
Smart Construction
Ultra lightweight Flywire cables in the shell's seams provide structure for easier entry, and side openings on the shell line up with fleece-layer pockets for convenience.

Studies in OCCU(PY)(PATION)
Saturday 17 December 2011 (8am-8pm)
Westlake Park, City Hall & Seattle Central Community College
Artists experimenting in movement, performance, process, dance, text, sound, voice, music, visual and other media wanted for Studies in Occu(py)(pation), a full-day, outdoor, live art event, 8AM–8PM, on Saturday 17 December at (1) West Lake Park, (2) City Hall and (3) Seattle Central Community College (Seattle, WA). Select a 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour or 2-hour time slot. Engage in a stationary or moving study anywhere in one of the three locations. All genres considered. No plug-ins available. Self-supporting, low-tech only. Situated in an open urban area. Standing audience unlikely. Studies overlap and continue for the length of the event. This is a free and independent event generated by working artists in Seattle.
Send an informal e-mail to email@example.com with your: (1) name, (2) contact info (3) work history (brief) / link to your website, (4) one sentence expressing your medium and idea for the study, (5) desired study location and (6) desired study time and length. There is no formal deadline, but to receive proper attention and be placed on the schedule, before 10 December is best.
Studies in Occu(py)(pation) is 5th in a quarterly series called STUDIES IN EVERYTHING, preceded by Studies in White (January 2010), Studies in Monk, Mompou and Melancholy (April 2010), Studies in Forgiveness (July 2010) and Studies in Memory (November 2010). The goal of STUDIES IN EVERYTHING is to form a temporary community and to have that community study, in a collectively and public way, a topic, mood, color, place or idea. Studies aren't about finished, choreographed work, they are about the artist's process. We do not spend a great deal of time preparing for or reporting on studies, but spend time partaking in studies and thus evolve as artists. 10-40 artists participate in each study. For examples of past studies and to see images and videos, visit our FB group page STUDIES IN EVERYTHING.
Artists are encouraged to visit the site before their study to consider weather and other conditions that may affect their work (noise levels, crowd flow, lighting, pedestrian pathways, bottlenecks, nearby bathrooms, warm dry places to retreat to, parking situation and bus routes). This is a rain or shine event. Performances will be photo and video-documented.
Studies free us. Unlike their finished and focused counterparts (rehearsals, choreographed pieces and performances), studies show us the artist in the process of discovering. We believe this work helps situate the artist in the community and manifests a real artist-to-world connection. We hope to encourage artists everywhere to envision and set into place parameters for studies and to spend time exploring the world publicly.
This study comes in response to the international political event—Occupy Wall Street. Artists may find it helpful to attend the Occupation, if they haven't already, to help clarify and/or broaden their ideas and approaches. It is not, however, necessary to respond in a political way or to offer a politics-focused study. Studies may be as personal, as quiet or as pedestrian as you wish. Artists are encouraged to take their study in the direction of their choosing, as far or as near the current political situation as they wish.

Eden Projection
I had a fabbo time last week with Paul at the Eden Project, where they were showing my second favourite Sci-Fi film ever - Silent Running. It was the most amazing place to see this film - in a geodesic-bio-dome environment for heavens sake! What was even better was there was a live set before the screening by some synth-boffs (Adrian Utley and Will Gregory) a talk about the film by Mark Kermode. Silent running itself was amazing - its actually the first time I've seen it on a very big screen. Theres so much I love about the design and feel of the film, the 1970s pastoral music, the electronic sound effects (made on an ARP 2600), the ideas in it - and Bruce Dern losing at poker to a droid with no face. Here is a clip of the performance in the bio-dome before the film:

Oh man. I was borned & razed in manchester new hampshire and managed to drop out of high school while I could still think for myself. As soon as I got my hands on a friend's car I remember haunting the local record shops of Southern NH and Northern MA looking for unknown (to me) bands and obscurities. One day I found a 7" vinyl by Jonee Earthquake Band. I recognized Jonee from manchester, and thought - I have to buy this. One listen confirmed I was right - it was a slice of pure guitar joy, a rockin' rave-up ode to vinyl records called Black Plastic and a reggae tinged tune called Batten Down the Hatches.
While digging through the vinyl archives at WNEC, where I somehow hold the miraculous title of Community Program Director, I came across four vinyl gems by Jonee & krew. Looking up the interweb I discovered his website & sent a few dineros for some very inexpensive cds. Holy fuck, local punk/folk music lives with a vengeance. This dude is a still a brilliant songwriter, and thats no shit - one listen to "Up With Piracy" and I'd discovered a theme song for Seldom Heard Radio. As long as no one listening to WNEC turns me in to the FCC. Or as long as no wizard turns me into the FCC. There are worse fates but I can't think of them at the moment. Read this: FU FCC. Thanks for stealing our airwaves and selling them to Clear Channel, etc.
Cruise over to joneeearthquake.com. Don't be such a recluse like ye olde DJ here, go see a show, or at least fork over some bucks for some cds. Most of them include bonus tracks by other bands.


text: THE heart rates of people who sing in a choir quickly synchronise with one another. The discovery may offer clues to the health benefits of group singing. Björn Vickhoff at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, recruited 15 singers and asked them to undertake a number of joint singing tasks, from monotone humming to singing a meditative mantra or Christian hymn. Their vital signs were monitored throughout. The team found that choral singing increased the amount by which an individual's heart rate varied. That might confer a potential health benefit because low variability in heart rate is related to high blood pressure, says Vickhoff. They also found that the singers' heart rates tended to fluctuate in synchrony when they were singing structured songs. This was linked to an effect known as respiratory sinus arrhythmia – where your heart beat varies in synchrony with breathing, which is known from research on meditation to be soothing (Frontiers in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience, DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00334).

The Oculus Rift has received a permanent price decrease to £399
The Oculus Rift's price has decreased by £100
Published: 12th October 2017 | Source: Oculus |
The Oculus Rift has received a permanent price decrease to £399
At this time it is unknown why Oculus has decided to decrease the sale price of their Rift headset, be it lacklustre sales after the end of their "Summer of Rift" campaign or to attempt to undercut Microsoft's Windows 10 Mixed Reality headsets before they make it to market.
- Bundle:
1x Oculus Rift VR headset
1x IR camera sensor with stand
2x Oculus Touch motion controllers (includes 1x AA per controller)
1x IR camera sensor with stand (2,5 m cable length)
1x Rockband guitar mount
1x Various accessories
6x Free games
It will be interesting to see how well Microsoft's Windows 10 Mixed Reality headsets compete with the Oculus Rift at this price point, given Microsoft's use of an "inside-out" tracking system rather than use the Rift's camera-based system, which is theoretically more accurate.
The Oculus Rift also contains lower resolution displays than many of Microsoft's Windows 10 Mixed Reality headsets, making the comparison even more interesting.
You can join the discussion on the Oculus Rift's permanent price decrease to £399 on the OC3D Forums.

Well worth it especially if you're an Elite Dangerous player, First time I played ED with the Rift I was gobsmacked and the first time I came out of frame shift into an asteroid field I genuinely said "Holy ****" truly an amazing experience.
Sadly it's one of the few amazing experiences you will get on VR. I don't like that sort of game wish I did tbh.
Is it good clarity wise? because the backgrounds in Dirt were so low rent....Quote

Stratco is a company that primarily manufactures a wide range of metal based products including most standard roofing & rainwater products plus the famous Outback® Verandahs, Patios and Carports, Good Neighbour® Fencing, Homesheds, and Garden Sheds.
Rainwater Tanks
Rainwater is a valuable natural resource that can be collected as an environmentally responsible way to provide real cost savings to any home or business. Homeowners and urban planning authorities are recognising the benefits of rainwater collection with new legislation being introduced in many areas.
A rainwater tank can save up to 100,000 litres of water a year in an average home. Collected rainwater can be used to water the garden, wash the car, or as drinking water. With additional plumbing and a pump, a tank can be used to flush the toilet, fill a washing machine, fill a water heater or be used through a cold water tap.
Pumps and Accessories
Get the full potential out of your rainwater tank with a complete range of pumps and accessories from Stratco. A wide range of pumps are available. The pump you choose will depend on the tank size, the requirements of the service that will feed from the tank, and the diameter of the plumbing pipes and the pressure required.
If you choose to run your services solely from tank water, you may need a top-up facility to fill part of the tank with mains water when the rainwater gets low. When connecting to mains water, a backflow prevention device is needed to prevent the reverse flow of tank water into mains water. Some pumps have backflow and top-up devices built into their design. Stratco can supply separate top-up devices, backflow prevention devices and any pipes and fittings needed to complete the system.

That Sugar Film – a Review
As long as we have been doing this WOE (way of eating), I have heard about 'That Sugar Film' and what great examples it provides. Finally this weekend I sat down to take a look. Going back about 1-year this week we started eating LCHF (low-carb high-fat) in order to improve our overall health, to cut out preservatives, and to lose some unwanted weight. We don't call this a diet though, we call it a 'way of eating' and a complete change in the way we think about eating. I think what you have to remember about supermarket foods these days is that back in the 1950's there were hardly, if any, preservatives in the foods we ate – but at some point things changed and sugar was added to about everything that was produced. Not just cereals but most if not all boxed foods. When the waistline started to grow there were two opinions on why this happened, one opinion was that weight gain was due to fat in our foods, and the other option was that sugar was the culprit. I don't know if it was just because nobody wanted in their right mind to give up sugar, but fat got the blame and thus the low-fat / non-fat revolution began. It makes sense though, sugar is in almost everything you eat and over the years the increase in sugar to our daily intake, and the processed foods we buy has grown at an astronomical rate. LCHF teaches us to eat whole foods, nothing out of a box, or with preservatives, no added sugar, and to stay away of the low-fat or non-fat options. Low-fat and non-fat is actually worse for you than full fat options – first of all the removal of fat from foods means other things are added (preservatives) to make it still taste good, and the final word is fat does not make you fat, sugar does. This Australian film was a great look at how sugar intake has increased exponentially over the course of even our short lives – and also what a high sugar intake does to your body. Making the change to a LCHF WOE definitely isn't an easy one but it has to be a conscious decision to make a healthy change in your life. My husband and I both lost approximately 15 kilos in 10 months, that's 33 lbs each. And, we've kept it off. This movie was 5 stars in my book, even if you don't subscribe to an organic type of diet, seeing the effects that sugar has on your body is enlightening.
Diabetes and Sugar
I have type 1 diabetes, and have had for about the last 20 years of my adult life. It is a struggle and it is difficult to lose weight when you have diabetes as well. I was never successful losing weight prior to LCHF because nutritionists and dietitians allow and direct their diabetic patients to consume the regular amounts of sugar that everyone else consumes. According to 'That Sugar Film' the average person consumes approximately 40 teaspoons of sugar per day and that is just through packaged foods full of preservatives (and sugar), it doesn't count candy, chocolate, or additional sugar in your coffee or tea. So simply speaking if I am eating packaged food from the grocery store, for breakfast lunch and dinner, I am already consuming 40 teaspoons of sugar per day. How can a diabetic survive on this? I just don't know. My insulin intake alone went down to almost nothing changing to the LCHF way of eating – my carbs come from vegetables and they do now stay in my system like starchy pasta or white potato. This was definitely a healthier option for me, and I progressively lost weight for the first time using this methodology. The food pyramid needs to drastically change.
What you can and cannot eat with LCHF
Ultimately what you want to eat is fresh everything, meats should be a moderate part of your daily intake, and good fats like olive oil, avocados, and nuts should be increased. Stick to full cream options of milk and creams. And, eat lots of veges. We find it easiest to bar-b-que our meat and make sides of cauliflower with cheese, or salad with and olive oil salt and pepper dressing. You should stay away from processed foods including processed meats, packaged foods that contain preservatives, starchy carbs like pasta, bread and potato, as well as low-fat or even worse no-fat options. Low-Fat means that they have removed the fat content (which is good for your body) and replaced it with additives and preservatives that are bad for you. We have also replaced our Equal (artificial sweeteners) with Stevia, an organic plant based alternative. Artificial sweeteners are used widely used in processed foods, including baked goods, soft drinks, powdered drink mixes, candy, puddings, canned foods, jams and jellies, dairy products, and scores of other foods and beverages. Stevia is a wonderful sweetener, because it isn't a sugar, and it contains no fructose.
Interested in a low carb high fat lifestyle?
You can start your journey with Dr. Tim Noakes Real Meal Revolution. The book is a great starter to learn the basics of eating LCHF, and it contains some really great recipes. The Real Meal Revolution is called "Banting" a method of dieting for obesity by avoiding sweets and carbohydrates. William Banting (1797 – 1878) had such success with the low carb diet that in 1863 he published the pamphlet 'A Letter on Corpulence', in which he described the wonder diet. Soon 'to bant' became a familiar phrase in British households. Interesting that only in recent years the idea of Banting has taken off and become a highly recommended lifestyle choice and way of eating.
Good luck on your journey!

MythBusters Bullet Baloney
MythBusters animation with a difference! Here was my big chance to introduce some classic ol' frame-by-frame animation to the show.
This was great fun, if bloody hard work. Eight solid weeks of this beast consuming my life, and I don't mind telling anyone who is or isn't listening.
Anyway, I've got some work in progress here, starting from when I first got the 'Wild West' brief and worked on what A&J would look like in cowboy garb.
This is of course the fun bit, when it's all potential and no all-nighters yet. The next step was thumbnails. They're super messy, but you can see the ideas starting to come together (and the bits I ditched. Can't believe I thought shooting Jamie in the butt was a great idea.)
Then came the storyboards. The composition of the action, ideas about the background and firmer character designs came out of these. They also were pretty important for the editor (hi Evan!) as he cut these images together to the music, and could show Discovery channel what we were thinking. The animatic he gave back to me was my bible – I needed to know exactly how long each shot was, because this is old-school animation and I'm drawing every frame.
I'm sad that Kari shooting the bandit was bumped from the final animation. I've got a bit of a soft-spot for cowgirls (shock). I got as far as inking her movements, before Evan and I agreed time-wise it wouldn't fit:
The bit that melted my brain the most was when Grant grabs the shotgun from Tory, and I decided throwing a camera spin in there would be fun. I started to regret that decision pretty much straight away when I was doing first-pass rough animation. Everything's moving and shifting perspective – the gun, the hands, the faces.
But because of some madness I stuck with it, throwing in some smears on the faces for some faux-motion blur (and because sticking to a face model got very hard). As usual, it's over so quick and most viewers will never realise how much cursing it took! I like it though, it was a good learning experience.
Oh, Tory has such a delicious face for caricature.
Let me know if you want to see any work-in-progress for the other scenes. Big thanks to Josh Bramley for painting the background environments, thanks Ian for constantly posing for reference videos, and thanks Red Dead Redemption for all the inspiration.
