Load Management Standards Proceeding
DOCKET # Docket 08-DR-01
Efficiency Committee overseeing this proceeding is:
Chairman and Associate Member
Arthur Rosenfeld
Commissioner and Presiding Member
The Energy Commission has established a proceeding to develop and adopt Load Management and Demand Response Standards as recommended in the 2007 Integrated Energy Policy Report. This informational and rulemaking process will explore and consider any rate tariffs, equipment, software, automatic technologies, and other measures and regulations that would be appropriate to achieve a price-responsive electricity market.
Why adopt Load Management Standards? Managing the critical peak electricity use or "load" during hot summer days is economically beneficial to the utility and the ratepayer in several ways. It is less expensive than building new power plants and provides opportunities for consumers to take advantage of future critical peak pricing programs using various devices or actions to reduce their electricity consumption and costs.

* Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.Although invisible to most of us outside Syria, activists have kept schools open, organise health care, distribute water, run bakeries and collect garbage
"Are you crazy?" Doreen Khoury asked her companions, as they sat in a packed café in a part of Damascus tightly monitored by the government. The two Syrian activists, who'd spent time in prison for their views, were openly talking politics. And they weren't the only ones.
It was March 2011, the start of the Syrian uprising.
Khoury, a Lebanese woman who has been helping Syrian activists throughout the revolution, says those protesters who marched in their thousands in 2011 didn't disappear when they were forced off the streets by civil war.
Although they are almost invisible to most of us outside of Syria, they continue to oppose the government – and extremist Islamist militia groups who now control parts of the country – and they want a part in leading the country once the fighting is over, she told me while on a recent visit to London.
Since those days on the streets, the same protesters have been running local services in rebel-held areas. They have kept the schools open, organised health care, distributed water, resettled hundreds of thousands of displaced people, run bakeries, collected garbage. And, in the absence of a functioning state judiciary, the lawyers among them have married and divorced people and held trials for those accused of crimes.
"It's been very much trial and error, working with their feet on the ground, but they've learnt a lot," Khoury, who is Middle East Liaison Officer at Hivos International and an expert on the civilian grassroots movement in Syria.
Where the activists have been working, towns and cities have transformed from "cradles of the revolution" into "models of civilian management", she said.
Activists are also challenging both government and Islamist propaganda using magazines, artwork and radio programmes, Khoury said.
Some post regular short films about life in Syria, frustrated with mainstream media's focus on the armed aspects of the Syrian uprising.
Some have continued to hold street protests. Women in Raqqa last year protested against the extremist Islamist group, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which imposed strict Islamic rules on locals, introduced Islamic law courts, and abducted many local men.
"They were really, really brave, they were shot at," Khoury said.
One of the leading activists in Raqqa, a former primary school teacher called Souad Nawfal, carried out a one-woman protest against ISIL until she was forced to flee to Turkey last December, because of death threats by the militant group.
Khoury says activists and civilian groups are now preparing for the end of the war. "It's a shift now from resisting the regime … to developing (their) own understanding of inclusive Syrian citizenship and national identity, saying: 'We have our own definitions, our own vision for the future'," she said.
"It's pretty strong among the Syrian community in Lebanon, in Gaziantep (in Turkey) and within Syria. They're preparing and writing for a new Syria," Khoury added.
And they probably have credibility among locals, she said. The person running the local school or other essential service may not have official legitimacy, but people will listen to them, she said.
A network of local coordinating committees – established in the early days of the uprising – and other civil society organisations are preparing for a post-war Syria.
"I think they should play a big role because they are on the ground and are linked to the reality on the ground," Khoury said, adding that their experience of running local councils means they know what's realistic, how fragmented a city is and what are the different power bases.
The National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces is internationally recognised as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people. The coalition comprises Syrians in exile, and is relatively powerless within the country.
It attended international peace talks in Geneva earlier this year, where mediators were pushing for the establishment of a transitional government that would represent all sides. Local activists say some members of the opposition coalition seem to be more committed to guaranteeing a place for themselves in the transitional government, than looking after Syrians' interests.
"It doesn't make sense if we reach a post-conflict phase, to suddenly say: 'Well, thank you very much. Now the transitional government is here,' Khoury said. "(The activists are) not going to agree to it, but also it would be completely stupid to not involve them not just on a local level but also on a decision-making level," she added.
The activists are tired and hungry, and are constantly under threat from the government and Islamists, Khoury said.
"Every day I look at actors on the ground and I see them getting weaker, because the conflict slowly makes them weaker. When we look at Raqqa there isn't any effective civil society anymore and this is tragic," she said.
"They need solidarity, support and acknowledgement."

style="text-align: justify;">Everybody enjoys a bit of nostalgia, which is why retro styles are often at the forefront of fashion. Vue DC eyewear has taken this trend to new heights with its line of "modern vintage" eyeglasses and sunglasses, which help you see "the future by reflecting the past."
Founded by longtime friends Yoma, Christian and Frederic, Vue DC glasses are heavily influenced by the fashions of previous generations. The French designers have done plenty of research to create authentic vintage-inspired eyewear, the hard work of which is reflected in their flawless handmade frames for both men and women.
Vue DC eyeglasses may be fashioned after older looks, but you can't deny that they are pretty funky. The Vue DC LEA for women is a full acetate frame that comes in red/white (above), black, white/black and clear. Cat-eye glasses are a great ode to retro fashion and look best on diamond and base-down triangle-shaped faces.
The Vue DC P50 model is a unisex style with round frames that pay tribute to the past while being playful with a fun, new pattern. Available in the above black/clear style, as well as tortoiseshell, clear red, yellow, white and brown, there are plenty of colors to choose from to suit your personal look.
For the man who is not afraid to be bold, Vue DC RON frames make an important fashion statement. Certainly not for the timid, those who choose this model in tortoiseshell, black, brown, red or clear brown will be the most prominent and stylish among the crowd.
Vue DC sunglasses are a fantastic selection as well. The above cat-eye and round styles are just some more of what the designers have envisioned for their signature modern vintage look. In the left hand column are two shades of the popular Vue DC SLY, along with the Vue DC CAT (top right) and Vue DC STA.

By Catey Hill
Whether it's a golf-outing to Pinehurst, a beach trip to Cape Cod with the grandkids or that roadtrip you've been meaning to take with your wife for decades now, if you're like many baby boomers and retirees, summer travel is on the agenda. But with gas prices near $4 per gallon, it may be time to think about getting a credit card that can save you some dough.
Despite rising gas prices, a growing number of Americans — especially older Americans — plan to hit the road more frequently this year than last year. Overall, 86% of Americans said they're planning a trip this summer, up from 83% last year, and roughly two-thirds of them plan to take a car trip, according to a survey by TripAdvisor.com. Increasingly, these travelers are 65 and older: The total number of trips taken by older adults has increased 10% since 2001, according to a survey by AARP. But for all its perks, your summer road trip will have one unpleasant downside: sticker shock at the pump. The average price for a gallon of regular gas is $3.92, up 37% over last year, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report. The good news: "Gas rewards cards can help frequent travelers save money," says Tim Chen, CEO of NerdWallet.com, a website dedicated to educating consumers about credit cards. "Some cards award up to 5% cash back."
Of course, these cards aren't a cure-all to your gas price woes. For one, many rewards cards have high interest rates, Chen says, so if you don't pay off your balance in full each month, the money you'll spend on interest is likely far greater than the money you saved on gas. Plus, the rewards on some cards are difficult to follow with rotating categories of rewards that change each quarter. Still other cards only work at certain gas stations.
That said, these cards can save you a significant money, possibly hundreds of dollars in a year for the frequent driver, Chen says. Here are his recommendations for some of the best gas rewards credit cards for the frequent traveler:
- PenFed Platinum Cashback Rewards: This card gives you 5% cash back on gas purchases, and the company has no limit to the amount of gas that they'll give you cash back on. Plus, at 13.99%, the APR is low, so if you do rack up a bill on accident one month, it's not going to cost you as much as it would with another card. The problem: "This card is pretty hard to qualify for," Chen says.
- Chase BP: This card also gives you 5% cash back on gas, but only at BP pumps, which can be a problem for many consumers. However, for the BP loyalist, it's a good bet, says Chen, as not only is the 5% generous, the card doesn't limit how much gas it offers cash back on.
- Amex Blue Cash Preferred: This card is good for the person who spends a lot on gas, groceries and department stores. It gives 3% cash back on gas, 6% on groceries and 3% on department stories, with no limits. But the card carries an annual fee of $75, so unless you're a big spender, this card might not be right for you.

Yesterday evening, the House of Commons unanimously voted in favor of Bill C-311, a private member's bill presented to the house by Dan Albas, Member of Parliament for Okanagan-Coquihalla, a riding located at the heart of British Columbia's wine country. The bill, which seeks to make it legal for individuals to "import" wines from one province into another, was greeted with enthusiasm by people in the Canadian wine industry, from Coast to Coast, and by Canadian wine lovers everywhere.
Very specifically, the bill makes legal:
the importation of wine from a province by an individual, if the individual brings the wine or causes it to be brought into another province, in quantities and as permitted by the laws of the latter province, for his or her personal consumption, and not for resale or other commercial use.
In other words, it corrects a rather absurd situation caused by the post-Prohibition legal framework that surrounds everything regarding the sale of beer, wine and spirits in Canada. Specifically, it was illegal, through the 1928 law that Bill C-311 amends, for anyone to carry a bottle of wine across provincial boundaries. If you're from Québec and you visit a vineyard in BC or Ontario or Nova Scotia, it is illegal for you to bring a bottle back home. It is also illegal for a winery to send you bottles back to your home in another province. (By the way, that will remain so until the bill goes through the Senate and then receives Royal Assent, something which should not be an issue, but will take a few weeks yet.)
Without any border patrols between provinces, the law was, of course, impossible to enforce, at least for personal purchases brought back by travelers. In that context, when Bill C-311 becomes law, legislation will simply be in line with reality. And for Canadian wineries, this opens up the possibility of developing a pan-Canadian clientele, something very useful in particular for smaller wineries for whom getting wines to other provinces' monopolies can be quite difficult, because of the time and effort required and the volumes of wine produced, notably.
The focus of the bill is limited, and that was a smart thing within the complicated rules and regulations, both provincial, federal and international that govern the commerce of alcoholic beverages. For instance, by not restricting the possibilities to 100% Canadian wine, it avoids challenges through NAFTA or the World Trade Organization about preferential treatment given to the national industry, which would open a whole different can of worms. People might like wider-reaching measures (beyond just wine, for instance), but for immediate results, this was a good solution.
Also, by limiting its effects to personal consumption, it only moderately affects the control of provincial monopolies like the LCBO or the SAQ on sales of wine and spirits. A restaurant can't start ordering its wine from out of province, and a BC winery can't set up shop in Ontario and sell its own wine privately. But if you really loved that pinot gris from the Okanagan that you tasted on your last trip and you want to get a few bottles, you should be able to get them.
Key word here is "should". The game's not fully played yet.
As the bill states, individuals will be able to get wine to their home province "in quantities and as permitted by the laws of the latter province". And that's where the next step of the battle to "Free My Grapes", as this crusade has become known, will play out.
Monopolies could restrict the shipping of wine from outside of their province in various ways. They could ask anyone who wants to ship to register with them. They could ask wineries to collect that province's taxes and markup on the bottles, so that there is no loss of revenue or "unfair" advantage to sellers from outside the province. If they make it complicated and bureaucratic, then Bill C-311 could be a very limited victory for the Canadian wine industry. The story, at this point, is still to be continued.

FASPE fellowships examine the roles played by professionals in the fields of journalism, law, clergy and medicine in Nazi Germany and underscore that moral codes governing these key professions can break down or be distorted with devastating consequences. By educating students about the causes of the Holocaust and promoting their awareness of related contemporary issues, FASPE seeks to prepare students to address various ethical issues facing their professions in the present day.
Guenther-Benham looks forward to reflection "in the places that saw some of the worst ethical failures of the twentieth century. I want to learn from history in order that I might become a person of solid ethics and integrity who is not afraid to act for what is right. This experience will make me a better minister." She recognizes that ethical failures can take many forms. "When I consider how the clergy contributed to the Holocaust, I must be truthful about my own capacity to do evil. I must ask myself, how would I be able to know what is truly right, in a situation when the grip of popular opinion and groupthink strangles dissent? How can I act for the common good, when it is difficult or even dangerous to do so?"
This year, the program will be led by Kevin Spicer, C.S.C., James J. Kenneally Distinguished Professor of History at Stonehill College; LeRoy Walters, Joseph. P. Kennedy, Sr. Professor of Christian Ethics at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics and Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University; and Rabbi Nancy Wiener, Clinical Director of the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Center for Pastoral Counseling at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion.
Guenther-Benham and the other FASPE Seminary Fellows will begin orientation at the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in New York City on June 16. They will visit the Museum's exhibits, meet with Holocaust survivors and work with FASPE staff and guest scholars. The first leg of the European portion will be in Poland. Fellows will travel to Oświęcim, the town the Germans called 'Auschwitz,' where they will tour the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp and work with the distinguished educational staff at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. Fellows will also travel to Krakow and Berlin. Educational workshops will take place at The Topography of Terror and the House of the Wannsee Conference, the site where representatives of State and Nazi Party agencies convened in 1942 to discuss and coordinate plans for the "Final Solution."
About FASPE FASPE's innovative programs for students in these four disciplines address contemporary ethical issues through a unique historical context. FASPE is predicated upon the power of place, and in particular the first-hand experience of visiting Auschwitz and traveling through Germany and Poland where Fellows study the past and consider how to apply the lessons of history as they confront the ethical challenges of their profession.
FASPE works under the auspices of the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust and in cooperation with the Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz, Berlin and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, Oświęcim, Poland. For more information about topics the students will study and to view a video about FASPE, visit www.mjhnyc.org/faspe.
About the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust The Museum's exhibitions educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the rich tapestry of Jewish life over the past century—before, during and after the Holocaust. Current special exhibitions include Hava Nagila: A Song for the People, on view through Summer 2013. It is also home to the award-winning Keeping History Center, an interactive visitor experience, and Andy Goldsworthy's memorial Garden of Stones. The Museum offers visitors a vibrant public program schedule in its Edmond J. Safra Hall and receives general operating support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

OK, I'm stumped:
I have a client with an SQL 2000 server hosting a database I created for one
of my applications.
The one thing that's odd is this server is not part of the domain, but is
"pingable" from the client computers
When I connect to the database using an ADO connection:
Dim Db as new ADODB.Connection
db.open "driver={SQL Server};server=co_melena;database=MyDatabase",
"MyUsername", "MyPassword"
It will not connect. It claims it cannot find the server, even if I use the
SQL System Administrator login
However, there is a share on this server: \\co_melena\stuff, that I can
open, log into, and close.
After I do this, then running the same code (above) works. Even though the
username and password are completely different for accessing the share, it
somehow "turns something on" that allows me to connect, at least until I
reboot. Now all my privilege levels with the different usernames and
passwords work correctly.
Now, there is another application running with a database on this server
that seems to work fine, and I cannot seem to find a COM or DCOM component
on the server.
So my question is this: Is there a security or role that I have not set?
Is it due to the SQL server not being part of their domain? I would really
appreciate any wisdom you fine folk would share with me.

Financial Systems Developers:
If you are looking for a low-latency DBMS for algorithmic trading, quantitative
analysis, order matching or other real-time capital markets solutions, click here.
eXtremeDB Cluster is McObject's real-time distributed database system. eXtremeDB Cluster manages databases across multiple hardware nodes, enabling two or more servers to share the workload. It is unique as the first clustering database system to offer an embedded architecture: the database system runs within the application process at every node, eliminating the need for separate client and server modules.
This design eliminates inter-process communication (IPC) overhead within nodes of the distributed database, accelerating performance. It also reduces complexity, contributing to higher reliability and simplified deployment and maintenance.
In an eXtremeDB Cluster deployment, every database instance serves as a "master." Any process on any node can update its local database, and McObject's clustering software replicates the changes to other nodes.
Figure 1. eXtremeDB Cluster delivers a simplified distributed database system. This low complexity enables McObject's clustering software to deploy quickly and reduces cost-of-ownership.
eXtremeDB Cluster dramatically increases available net processing power, reduces costs, enables more evenly balanced workloads, and delivers more scalable and reliable data management for systems ranging from carrier grade telecom/networking equipment to capital markets applications.
Lower Complexity = Lower Costs
Clustering database solutions based on relational database management systems (RDBMSs) can entail separate sets of nodes for clients, database servers and SQL processing, as well as dedicated server and client software for management tasks.
Figure 2. Distributed database solutions based on cluster RDBMSs are highly complex, which makes them slow to roll out and expensive to implement and maintain.
With this level of complexity, it's no surprise that extensive consulting engagements are typically part-and-parcel of cluster RDBMS deployments.
eXtremeDB Cluster's streamlined architecture integrates the functions described above on the individual nodes, greatly simplifying system deployment and updates. By eliminating complexity, McObject's distributed database reduces cost-of-ownership.
The hardware for each eXtremeDB Cluster node can be a low-cost (i.e. "commodity") server, so that the system can expand cost-effectively. And with its origins in embedded systems such as telecom field equipment and smart industrial controllers, McObject's distributed database system is designed to operate with minimal care and feeding, further lowering ongoing costs compared to RDBMS alternatives.
Accelerated Performance, Powerful Features
In McObject's benchmarks, eXtremeDB Cluster delivered breakthrough performance, including an astonishing 161% throughput improvement when scaling to four nodes from one node.
Distributing the system across multiple hosts ensures continuous availability in the event of a failure on one node. eXtremeDB Cluster's "shared nothing" architecture eliminates reliance on a shared SAN or other storage resource. Multiple platforms are supported within a single cluster.
eXtremeDB Cluster supports the same ACID transactions offered by the non-clustering eXtremeDB editions, making it an attractive choice for applications that demand integrity of distributed data.
Proven eXtremeDB Building Blocks
The eXtremeDB Cluster highly scalable, real-time distributed database solution rests on a solid foundation of proven eXtremeDB technology:
- In-Memory Database System - eXtremeDB's core in-memory architecture overcomes the I/O and caching bottlenecks inherent in disk-based DBMSs. eXtremeDB Cluster is the only clustering database designed from scratch as an IMDS.
- Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) – "optimistic" concurrency eliminates database locking and can dramatically improve scalability and performance
- 64-bit support adds scalability - McObject has benchmarked its 64-bit eXtremeDB-64 edition managing a 1.17 TB, 15.54 billion row database in memory, with performance exceeding 87 million query transactions per second
- Hybrid storage – eXtremeDB Fusion enables persistent (disk- or flash-based) storage for selected record types. Database sizes are limited only by available file system space (32-bit or 64-bit)

nice detective work TS; I'm a stranger to th world of amazon.jp — it looks addictive
The day you posted this column, a friend had sent me an image by Uno, whose work I knew from a single image. Your article and gallery widen my knowledge of an amazing strangeness. Thank you.
Nice article, but one small correction. Shirato Sanpei was not involved in "angura" theatre. One of his books was adapted very very freely into a play by the Jiyu gekijo in 1967, and his drawings were used in the poster, but to my knowledge Shirato had no involvement.

After considering three different pilot options at three different networks, Anthony LaPaglia has landed on the ABC drama Americana. It will be a return to television after several years for the actor who has been working in films since his Golden Globe-winning turn on CBS' hit FBI drama Without a Trace.
LaPaglia signed on to play the lead role in the Americana pilot, according to Deadline after being pursued by two other networks for pilot roles as well – no word on what those were. Americana is about the head of a fashion house as well as a large family who find their lives and business changed dramatically by a newcomer to the fold. LaPaglia will play the family patriarch and famous designer, Robert Soulter, who founded the label. Americana is being written by Michael Seitzman and directed by Philip Noyce, who handled the pilot for Revenge last year, obviously rather successfully.
LaPaglia is currently working on the Tarantino film Django Unchained and a film adaptation of the classic Arthur Miller play A View From the Bridge, making him one busy and in demand guy. He's also got a couple of films in post-production including Mental with Live Schreiber, who is also doing a pilot this season over at Showtime. Going from a crime procedural like Without a Trace to playing a fashion designer is an interesting leap in his television career, but it's a role I can see him in. With the lead cast we should see more casting news on this pilot in the near future, but with LaPaglia attached this one is starting to sound pretty viable.

Stabilizing the Posterior Oblique Movement Chain
By Perry Nickelston, DC, FMS, SFMA
Human beings were designed to move! We evolved into a bipedal position of locomotion using cross-body "X" patterns for optimal efficiency in stability and mobility. Cross-body patterning harnesses the elastic power of muscles and soft-tissue fascia for efficient body-movement flow.
Every motion demands that we create force and control force. How well you can control force will determine durability, technical proficiency and overall resistance to injury. The posterior oblique sling (POS) is a movement subsystem of the body comprised of the gluteus maximus, thoracolumbar fascia and contralateral latissimus dorsi muscle, connecting the opposite hip and shoulder for locomotion. Without it you don't move.
Safe to say it's an important pattern to learn and optimize. Dysfunction in this system puts the brakes on stability and mobility in the recovery continuum. How do you know if the POS is dysfunctional and how can you restore function? That's what you are about to discover.
Functional Force Management and the Dysfunctional POS
Joanne Elphinston states that there are four key elements to functional force management:
The POS is the "linchpin" for effective force control. Think of the POS as a full-body slingshot with elastic bands. How far back you can pull the bands (arms and legs) and how stable the slingshot base (core) is determines how far what you are shooting (your body) travels and at what speed. Without proximal stability, you cannot have optimal distal mobility. This lack of central zone core stability may cause an increase in joint compression as a compensation mechanism for stability.
The nervous system feeds forward a protective pattern of decreased mobility for increased stability. Not the desired way to accomplish stabilization. The most common dysfunction of this system is neural sequencing inhibition of the gluteus maximus (glute amnesia) and inhibition of the latissimus dorsi, with facilitation (upregulation) of the thoracolumbar fascia.
In essence, you have only one part of the subsystem working effectively – the thoracolumbar fascia. The glutes and lats are very often slow to activate when needed for optimal function because of their inhibition; therefore, the TLF gets overworked and tired. Force closure of the pelvis is intimately associated with coordinated function of the posterior oblique and anterior oblique slings of the body.
The anterior oblique movement chain consists of the contralateral hip adductors, abdominal oblique complex, rectus abdominis and the transversus abdominis. Think of them as being in a "yin and yang" balanced relationship for central zone core stabilization. Dysfunction in one leads to compensatory imbalance in the other, and a Domino effect of movement impairment syndromes begin. As a result, a few things may now occur:
Common signs of a dysfunction in this system include:
How to Reset and Engage the System
Possible Exercise Options
Cross-body pulling and stabilization is an essential component to human movement. No matter where your patient is on the rehabilitation timeline, they can benefit from POS program integration. When patients move better, they feel better. Enhanced timing and coordination will be evident in all basic pattern movements, from walking to pushing/pulling, stepping, lunging and rotating.
Take the brakes off mobility and allow the natural forces of stabilization to work. You may find your chiropractic adjustments are quicker to lock in and maintain mobility patterns. Give the body a stable base of support and mobility will thrive.

This group is designed for those of us over 30 yrs of age. We have a different TTC journey than our younger counterparts & many of us encounter challenges along the way to our coveted BFP. We invite all to join us as we offer advice, support & encouragement to each other through these challenges, as well as celebrating those joyful BFPs.
While this thread is not necessarily labeled as a "struggling TTC" thread, we do ask that if you choose to join us that you remain mindful of the challenges that many of our members are experiencing when posting about BFPs. We are excited to celebrate everyone's BFP, though it can often be a sensitive issue for those for whom it has not been so easy.
We hearing from our graduates & hope you are having a HH9M!!! But we ask that you please take the time to catch up on posts, taking note of current losses before posting your pregnancy updates. If any of our sweet mommas are experiencing a loss in the current thread, please consider posting your updates at a different time.
I'll try to update your status daily, but let me know if I missed you! If I don't hear from you for a few weeks I'll take you off the list. Just post with an update to be re-added.
Question of the week: what is your earliest childhood memory?
Anyone can answer the question! And if you have suggestions for the QOTW send me a PM.
In RED, tell me:
Your handle (and your name and/or age if you'd like)
Where you are in your cycle or if you're waiting for AF to return
Whether you are actively TTC or waiting right now.
**I will look for a change in your status in red throughout the week.**

Re: TTC 30+ 12/7-12/21
It sure is quiet here. I hope that means everyone is having a lovely weekend. Anybody testing this week?
I'm at CD21, just waiting for AF so that we can start TTC. I also think that DS (33 months) is finally potty trained. We've been working on it for a couple weeks now and it's finally clicking with him. That just makes me want a new little baby that much more, though I'm thrilled to not be dealing with diapers anymore.

CD33 here, 15dpo, but not testing...don't have any and I just can't put myself through it anymore. Temps have been all over the map this cycle, not sure what is up with that!
QOTW: My earliest memory is from when I was 2/2.5, which my mom can correlate for me as the neighbour's stove was on fire and she ran over with the extinguisher to put it out, while I stood in the driveway and pooped my pants! I have a photographic memory so lots of early memories are rattling around in my head.

Re: TTC 30+ 12/7-12/21
Quite weekend here. Yesterday we went out to my parent's house to decorate the first round of Christmas Cookies. DS is coming down with something so we stayed home today. DD was really upset about missing church.
QOTWEarliest memory. I have so many starting around 3. The most vivid one was when we were at a auction, which was nearly every weekend because we worked the concessions for the 4-H club. It was raining. I was wearing my rainbow raincoat and pink mud boots. My mom sent me from the concession stand to my dad because the lamp that she really wanted was getting ready to go on the block. My father was wearing his yellow raincoat that he wore on the farm, there were a ton of yellow raincoats everywhere. I thought I had found my dad, I tugged on his raincoat, and this guy looked down and it wasn't him. I remember feeling so scared, then I felt my dad pick me up right as I started to cry. He had spotted me with my rainbow coat in the sea of yellow and he held me tight. Daddy won the lamp for my mom right after as well.
I tested yesterday and today (8 & 9dpo??), mostly because I have just had such a bout with these cramps, the strange spotting and sore breast. Of course it was a bfn. I have no idea if I O'd or not, my temps have been all over since they bottomed out a few days ago after I had a few high temps. Still lots of AF like cramping, lots of CM. I guess time will tell. If I haven't O'd I am afraid of missing it.
I hope it is ok to post this next part: Surely ok on TTC forum???
A friend of my sent me to a blog that has the 12 Lays of Christmas. (I am too lazy to look at DS rules right now about posting about other blogs.) Basically it was modifying the Song 12 Days of Christmas to inspire 12 days of intimacy. I think I will modify it, but the challenge starts on December 13th if anyone is interested.

Good luck to everyone who's testing soon!
AFM--AF should be here Saturday-ish & I'm hoping that scheduling works to do the IVF this month. DD switched from the devil-sitter to the center around the corner from us. DP & I like it so far, DD hates it I never had a hard time leaving DD w/ someone to go to work until the last few mos (she's 33 mos now), but it's killing me. DP is just getting done her admin. certificate, so she's looking at jobs; I wouldn't be terribly sad if I had to leave my job & relocate, but getting the house sale-ready would be a nightmare.

Re: TTC 30+ 12/7-12/21
Im 4dpo now, I had cramps last night by ovaries and this morning had brown spotting with strings in it. I am pretty sure I am pregnant. I will test on Wednesday.
funny thing is last couple days I have been all over cute clothing, diapers etc and this morning I sorta freeked out before the spotting cause I just KNEW I was gunna get preggo this month. was a string ovulation and I was super in the mood. it would have been nice to go a few months just using nothing and seeing what happens. I guess I didnt have to jump on the gun so quick but I honestly thought I was getting ready for menopause!! wrongo. I am 37 tho, so its probably better it happens now while I still have some energy and I can lose the baby weight more easily

Okay mama's I have a situation I want to run by all of you! Friday 12/7 I got to work and was fine then all of a sudden I was overcome with lightheaded dizziness...checked my Bloodsugar, blood pressure and all were okay...I then proceded to vomit but didn't have a quesy feeling or anything like a bug...Went home from work took a FRER not FMU of course and got a faint faint positive...my HCG on Wed 12/5 was 6 down from a previous 27 on 11/21...so here is my issue.... I has some light bleeding AF kind on 12/5 and 12/6 and then spotting on 12/7. Do you think my HCG is still being picked up that low on the FRER or do you think I could be Preggers and should retest? My Midwife thought it could still be from the previous loss but thougth maybe it should be out of my system by now... I haven't retested but have been tempted too because don't want to waist a FRER on a BFN! KWIM

Drive update, Desert Bus begins this week!
That little green bar is steadily filling, and now reads- that's right- $740,000. That's a lot of games! We've been getting emails from hospitals across the country letting us know that toys, games, and books are already arriving from their Amazon wishlists, and each sends their sincerest thanks. Cameron Hosner, of the Children's Hospital of Michigan, shared what the donations mean to the kids at his facility:
"These wonderful gifts will be used in the inpatient playrooms at Children's Hospital and will be available for children to use when they are confined to bed. Many hematology/oncology patients, as well as transplant and neurosurgery patients, are hospitalized for long periods of time and will benefit from these wonderful games! The wide variety of games will help to entertain, teach, and distract these children. The Child Life Specialists have relayed that they game titles you sent are very popular and much in demand, and they appreciate being able to provide children with such wonderful entertainment."
Our annual dinner auction is 21 days away, and we've received some incredible donations for auction items. Here's a sneak peak of one of them:
Michael "Gabe" Krahulik of Penny Arcade is working on what he calls one of his most exciting projects to date: a comic for Zelda Skyward Sword. This is the original watercolor painting, and it will be framed and featured in our Live Auction. A truly one-of-a-kind, iconic piece of game art. You don't want to miss seeing it in person, trust me.
While we are working away at the dinner auction, supporters are putting together their own incredible fundraising events. If you call Chicago home, don't miss Chicago Loot Drop this Sunday at 7PM. Part Rock Band performance competition, part Minibosses concert, Chicago Loot Drop is going to bring down the house for Child's Play. It's also benefiting one of our brand new network hospitals, Comer Children's Hospital of Chicago.
Desert Bus for Hope 5 begins at 6:00PM, November 18th. That's less than two days away. Are we making you nervous yet, Bussers? This year, Robert, Kristin and Jamie will be visiting Desert Bus Moon Base to experience some of the trauma and hilarity ourselves- keep an eye out for us on the stream on Sunday the 20th! There are going to be a ton of auctions, special guests, and hilarity, so tune in- you won't regret it.

Part 2- please "Adopt A Shelter"- "Yes, West Virginia, there is a Santa Claus"…to paraphrase the famous 1897 editorial in the New York Sun, I would love to utter these words, assuring the small, dedicated staff at Wetzel County Animal Shelter (WCAS) in West Virginia (WV), working against insurmountable odds, that kind folks will help them care for and successfully place their flood of wonderful dogs. That is what the "Adopt A Shelter" concept is all about.
Recap: In last week's "Pets"- "Veronica: The Voyage of the Beagle", Last Hope Animal Rescue was asked to help this struggling WV shelter and their many discarded Beagles and Hounds. The email plea sparked by "Sparky" came from a caring LI teacher who adopted Sparky, another needy Beagle after he'd been saved by the WCAS director. So inspired we drove to Delaware to get Veronica from a rescue transport. Last Hope has already placed this sweet Beagle with a family. Inquiries began before we got back with her. (To read the column, see Post "Pets" 12/9/09 online.)
Why Adopt This Shelter: Veronica is just 1 Beagle; Wetzel Co. Shelter is just 1 overwhelmed rural shelter, but both are symbolic of the countless highly adoptable dogs in the South who don't stand a chance unless we "redistribute", change callous attitudes and preach the importance of spay/neuter. Desirable dogs follow the laws of supply and demand. Yes, there are homeless dog problems on LI, and we are not forsaking them. We have a Pit Bull plethora, languishing in our shelters. Though it is difficult to find responsible homes for Pits, our local shelters have bigger budgets and better support. Meanwhile the same dogs that would be adopted in a heartbeat here are quickly euthanized when in overcrowded, understaffed Southern shelters. No one there wants them.
Comparing West Virginia to Long Island demographically is unfair in an "apples to oranges" way. However, the ratio of residents to impounded dogs- Wetzel County Shelter (pop.17,000) took in 400 dogs last year while Babylon Town (pop. 212,000) accepted 900+ dogs during the same time- demonstrates the WV dog surplus.
I am ineptly trying to be diplomatic. Homeless pets are a low priority wherever county funding is sparse. In poor rural areas, a dog's value is tied to his ability to put food on the table. If the Hound can't hunt, he's history. As stated last week, "shoot, shovel, shut up" is the country folk way to eliminate "worthless" dogs. When Rosy Cozart, a registered nurse, took over Wetzel Co. Shelter 8 years ago she faced unfathomable obstacles. She has instituted many improvements and reached out to distant rescues to rehome these deserving dogs, but her shelter is cramped and her staff skeletal. Most of the impounded dogs are housed outdoors, 2 to 3 to a kennel. Dogs mustn't fight, even those previously starved for food, or they can't stay. Despite tight funds, all WCAS dogs leaving for homes or rescues have been altered, vaccinated, and heartworm tested. That is a huge achievement. The temperaments tend to be excellent because shelter survival is dependent on their getting along with others.
Wetzel Co. Shelter has about 30 dogs (and about the same number of cats) at a time, accepting 400 to 500 dogs a year The neighboring county doesn't have a shelter so, in essence, WCAS covers both because people fabricate where they find dogs. This is similar to nearby LI shelters picking up the feline slack of N. Hempstead which refuses to accept any cats. (If we had a dime for everyone who ever lied at a municipal shelter counter, we could build Wetzel a state of the art facility.)
Take a Wetzel shelter photo tour (www.petfinder.com/ shelters/WV63.html) and then picture this: WCAS only has 2 employees a day- the director and a part-timer, so busy it is hard for them to answer the phone. Rosy has added 2 additions and more outdoor kennels to make more room, but without additional staff to care for the dogs properly she refuses to tie dogs to stakes and warehouse them. As she laments: "I can't keep them if I can't give them proper clean shelter and attention. It is so sad." Each forced euthanasia decision kills a little bit of her.
I can't stop thinking that we took the Beagle "Veronica" but left her buddy, "Archie" behind. Archie is so housebroken that he can "hold it" over 18 hours. What Beagle can do that? Then there is "Axel", a 1-yearold longhaired Doxie. It never ends. If only we could wave a wand to find them homes. As disheartening as slow adoptions are at LI shelters, it is frustrating not to be able to help the WV dogs allotted so little time to catch someone's eye.
Ways to Adopt Wetzel Co. Shelter: Monetary gifts can indirectly hire more staff by offsetting veterinary expenses, making the Wetzel dogs more comfortable, buying food and supplies and financing transports. Folks with corporate connections may be able to have merchandise sent. WCAS always needs dry and canned pet food, clay litter and bleach- all expensive to ship.
WCAS just received 501c 3 tax-exempt status for a Wetzel Co. Animal Shelter Supporters, Inc. fund (WCASS). A $$ donation of any size will help tremendously. Wetzel animals travel an hour each way to Parkersburg for spay/neuter and a new monthly van takes residents' cats to Wheeling for low cost spay/ neuter. The address for donations is: WCASS, Inc., RR2 Box 57, New Martinsville, WV 26155.
Most of the WCAS dogs live outside so the Kuranda Beds which can be donated right on the Petfinder website are a luxury. (Oyster Bay Shelter dogs and cats love Kuranda Beds too.)
Bookmark the WCAS Petfinder list to notify other NE or purebred rescues that WCAS is "rescue friendly". Some might want to drive legs of pet transports. The Delaware Alliance (daawgs.org) is a liaison for delivering WCAS dogs to other states.
The last idea comes from Michele Krause the high school teacher who alerted Last Hope about Rosy and her WV wards. Her school's Key Club plans to start a service project seeking donations for WCAS and a responsible pet care campaign. Hopefully the W.Tresper Clarke Key Club will network with a Key Club in WV as a "Hands Across America" approach to bring these important messages back home. Education is the Key to compassion.
For Adoption: The Oyster Bay Shelter dogs must think I have abandoned them. I haven't. "Venus" # 826 is a well-behaved Lab mix. Her owner moved. "Ernest" # 777 a handsome beige cat is the official greeter in the lobby. The shelter (677-5784) is located on Miller Pl, Syosset.
Dogs: "Radar"-#790-Shepherd mix pup; Bearded Collie type #807; "Romeo"#603-American Bulldog.
Cats: white declawed spayed Persian #829; "Salem" #668-black kitten.

After receiving a rare F CinemaScore from moviegoers, Brad Pitt's independent crime drama "Killing Them Softly" opened nationwide to a soft $7 million, coming in No. 7.
Directed by Andrew Dominik, the violent crime drama becomes only the eighth movie ever to receive the failing grade. George Clooney's "Solaris" and "Killing Them Softly" are the only non-horror titles among the bunch.
Pitt's Plan B production company produced the $15 million "Killing Them Softly," based on George V. Higgins' 1974 book "Cogan's Trade," with Inferno Entertainment and Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures, which put up some of the financing. The Weinstein Co. is distributing domestically.
Photos from THR: Outtakes from Brad Pitt's cover shoot
The movie stars Pitt as professional enforcer Jackie Cogan, who is charged with investigating a robbery at a mob-protected poker game. It also stars Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini and Sam Shepard.
The weekend after Thanksgiving is generally dominated by holdovers, and this year was no exception as "Twilight: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2," "Skyfall" and Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" continued to top the box office.
Summit Entertainment's "Breaking Dawn 2" jumped the $700 million mark globally over the weekend, grossing $17.4 million domestically for a total $254.6 million and $48.4 million internationally for a total $447.8 million. The worldwide cume is now $702.4 million.
MGM and Sony's "Skyfall" grossed $17 million in its fourth weekend for a North American cume of $246 million and worldwide total in the $850 million range.

"Lincoln," from DreamWorks and Disney, grossed $13.5 million for a domestic total of $48.9 million. The historical drama, starring Daniel Day Lewis as the storied president, continues to be a hit with adults.
DreamWorks Animation and Paramount's 3D toon "Rise of the Guardians" came in No. 4, falling 43 percent in its second weekend to $13.5 million for a domestic total of $48.9 million. The holiday-themed pic got off to a disappointing start over Thanksgiving, but DWA and Paramount are hopeful it will play throughout Christmas, saying it is pacing in step with "The Polar Express."
Overseas, "Rise of the Guardians" grossed $40 million in 46 territories, placing No. 1 in 20 of those markets. The toon has now grossed $57 million internationally for a worldwide total of $105.9 million.
Ang Lee's Thanksgiving entry "Life of Pi" came in No. 5, falling 47 percent in its second weekend to $12 million for a domestic total of $48.4 million.
The weekend's only other new release was horror sequel "The Collection," which opened to a disappointing $3.8 million.

Orioles reliever Darren O'Day took the high road when asked about the words he's exchanged with Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista the past two days.
At the same time, he gave Bautista credit for getting the best of him in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays. He also said he made a horrible pitch to Bautista on the 3-2 slider Bautista hit out for the game-winning homer.
Credit Darren O'Day for leaving the war of words on the field. Bautista chose to bash O'Day to the media after his crowning moment.
O'Day didn't. He is not a showboater. He doesn't need the attention. When he struck out Bautista on Friday in an extremely high-pressure situation, maybe he pumped his fist. Maybe he said something. Maybe he gave Bautista a glare. But I don't think any of that was intended to show Bautista up.
That's not O'Day's game. Neither is calling Bautista out.
Fast forward to today. The Orioles will try to avoid getting swept for just the second time this season in a three-game series and their first time on the road.
Sunday's starter, Freddy Garcia, is 9-8 with a 5.74 ERA in 21 career games against the Blue Jays and is 5-5 with a 6.22 ERA at the Rogers Centre, but he pitched pretty well in his last start in Toronto on May 25, allowing three runs – two earned – over five innings in a 6-5 win over the Jays.
Garcia hasn't started a game since June 15, and has pitched just one relief inning since. He hasn't gone that long between starts this season, but he showed the past two years in New York that he could be flexible moving between the rotation and the 'pen. If there's anyone best suited for that, it's Garcia.
While we are talking about pitching, right-hander Jake Arrieta performed well in his first start at Triple-A Norfolk since he was optioned following Monday's game. He allowed two runs on six hits over six innings, striking out five and walking none.
What does that mean? Not that much. It's better than the alternative, but we've seen Arrieta dominate Triple-A before. The organization is keeping him in the rotation for now, but they're eventually going to have to think long and hard about how Arrieta fits and what's best for his development. It's just a guess on my part, but I'm thinking Arrieta might eventually be moved to the 'pen, where he can concentrate on pitching in smaller spurts. Once he's successful there, you hope he can expand that approach.
Again, just a guess.
I know fans believe that Steve Pearce's move to the DL is a phantom one, but I've seen Pearce with his wrists wrapped after games, and you constantly see him with a bat in his hand, more than likely heading to the cages. Pearce said it himself: The Orioles physically had to take the bat out of his hands.

Ah, the UK! Now the vaginal breech birth makes more sense. The US is all about the obstetricians, and midwives are considered a fringe choice.
I'm sorry you can't get help around the house. It is so hard to balance pumping and baby care. One thing to remember- this is a short period in your baby's life. If pumping means that sometimes he fusses because you cannot immediately run to him and pick him up, that's okay. He's not going to remember.
Having too much milk makes the challenge of mastitis much more difficult to deal with. You are correct that emptying the breast is likely to perpetuate or even exacerbate oversupply, and that can in turn make mastitis more likely to occur. But when you're dealing with oversupply and mastitis together, the rule is to treat the mastitis first, beat it, and then work on reducing supply once the infection is gone. Therefore, I highly recommend pumping the affected breast frequently, emptying it as completely as you can (massage will help) until the mastitis is 100% gone. Once it is, start allowing more milk to sit in the breast in between feeding or pumping sessions. Don't let yourself get engorged- if you have a tendency towards mastitis you want to go slow, and not let too much milk build up in the breast.
Now, as far as the non-mastitis breast goes, try to empty it a little less aggressively than you are doing right now. 4 oz at a time is a lot to take out at once. I think you might do well to try to stop at 2-3, particularly because it sounds like you have absolutely no shortage of milk right now, and no need to stockpile vast amounts.
Because milk is continuously being made, the breast will never really empty out, but if you can pump for a couple minutes past the last drops you have probably done quite a good job of getting it emptied.
I also strongly suggest that you be more rigorous about maintaining some sort of pumping schedule, particularly for the infected breast. When a mom with oversupply is able to nurse, she is generally advised to nurse frequently. Allowing the baby to take smaller amounts of milk more frequently keeps the breast from getting too full and uncomfortable, and just moving the milk through, albeit slowly, will likely remove the risk of plugged ducts/mastitis taking hold. I'd love to see you pump every 2-3 hours throughout the day. Every 4 at night is a little longer than I'd want to do- but you need your rest and should feel free to take those 4 hour stretches if necessary.
Fixing a difficult latch is sometimes easy, and sometimes it's just about impossible. You just have to wait for that tiny mouth to grow. Did anyone show you the "nipple sandwich" technique? That can sometimes help you cram the maximum amount of breast into a tiny mouth.
ETA: 3 possibilities forlong feeds- either he's a big-time comfort nurser, or he's just a slow (maybe sleepy?) feeder, or his latch is so poor that it takes him a long time to transfer adequate milk.

I wasn't really considering doing this program, since it seems geared towards those who have some experience with children and want to teach children (which I don't). However, I'm quite confused now. A program I was looking at is one offered through TAU and has the title of MA TESOL: http://international.tau.ac.il/enrolled-students/course-offering/graduate-g/tesol.html How is this program different from the TASP program? Also, I noticed that the TASP program seems to mention Bar Ilan University rather than TAU. So I'm wondering if maybe the TASP program isn't being offered through TAU anymore but through Bar Ilan?

Baltimore City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young
As his favorite Ravens memory, Baltimore City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young cited running back Ray Rice's legendary play against the San Diego Chargers this season -- when Rice miraculously converted a first-down on a 4th-and-29 situation by making eight defenders miss. "Hey diddle, diddle Ray Rice up the middle," Young said. "That changed the whole tone for the Ravens. That was something we'll never see again." Young said his other favorite moment was how the team rallied around linebacker Ray Lewis' announcement that he would retire at the end of this season. "When Ray Lewis first announced he was retiring, that fired up the team," Young said. "We went out to beat the Colts and Denver. Now we're going to on to the Super Bowl to beat San Francisco."

Entertainment Industry Continues To Try To Sneak Copyright Expansion Through ACTA
from the more-sunlight dept
Now, according to William Patry, the US Trade Rep is resisting calls to open up the process by which ACTA is written, by claiming that ACTA is really pretty minor and won't require any substantive changes in US law. Of course, that's turning out not to be true at all. At that link, Patry looks at the RIAA's suggestions for ACTA, many of which would substantially change copyright law, in rather astounding ways.
It's a laundry list of an ideal world for the RIAA. Basically, everyone else would be responsible for policing any form of unauthorized usage for the entertainment industry. Things that are now civil offenses would become criminal, and the RIAA would have much lower burdens of proof. ACTA is turning into an agreement designed to prop up the RIAA by forcing everyone else to try to force the market to pretend that technology doesn't do what it was designed to do, and to try to hold back the more efficient market innovations that impact the established industry's business model. And they want to do it all in secret and without letting Congress even have a say in the process. And, to make it even better, it's apparently now on the fast track for approval.
