It's a potentially windy time in O'Brien County, but that's a GOOD thing. Team O'Brien is working with several wind farm developers who consider the county to be a very smart place to erect massive wind turbines, thereby continuing our fine tradition of harnessing renewable assets.
Our office has been focusing on business recruitment and retention in the advanced manufacturing, information technologies and life sciences and arts and culture sectors. Our successful recruitment of Bogenrief Studios will substantially support additional recruitment for the arts.
Why do we work so hard? We want to bring more businesses to O'Brien County and to diversity our business base. With those businesses come jobs. With jobs we have increased population growth as people bring their families to live here. With increased population growth we have more buyers of our goods and services, and more people to add to our circle of friends. Who wouldn't want to be a part of this exciting endeavor?
We would like to thank our Board of Directors, committee members, staff, and the financial support of the county, cities, banks and private industries who make this all possible.
Advanced Manufacturing - actively recruiting across the nation.
Nanotechnology - working with Northwest Iowa Community College on exploring curriculum and programs to better leverage NCC's high caliber electronics disciplines, thereby ensuring a qualified, educated workforce ready for the future.
Renewable Energy - pursuing three wind farm developments along Buffalo Ridge. O'Brien County will be in the geographic center of countless wind farms in the Midwest. We have the land and infrastructure resources plus our central location will ensure the most efficient transportation and distribution times. Our goal is to promote our attractive incentive packages to attract vendor businesses and to work with our college to develop custom-designed workforce training programs.
To facilitate growth of the wind industry in Iowa, and O'Brien County, we must be competitive with other states. State incentives can be found by clicking here.
Iowa has done well by taking that first step of a renewable energy requirement, but the wind industry has greater confidence in a Renewable Portfolio Standard. A great explanation of the portfolio can be found by clicking here.
Value-Added Ag - dairy, dairy, dairy and soy diesel as well as biotechnology projects are getting our attention
Tourism & Recreation: - Prairie Heritage Center ground has been purchased, the building is designed and fundraising is underway!
As you can see, something is always going on with the OCEDC!

Like many now-famous country musicians, Brad Paisley discovered his love of music early in life - his grandfather bought him a guitar and taught him how to play at age eight. By the time he was thirteen, he became regionally known as a common opening act at the Capital Music Hall in Wheeling, West Virginia. After graduating from John Marshall High School in 1989, Paisley received a full scholarship to Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee where he studied music and composition. The premier private liberal arts university in the area, notable Belmont alumni include country musicians Josh Turner and Chad Warrix of Halfway to Hazard fame.After graduating from Belmont in 1995, Paisley worked as a behind-the-scenes songwriter for a number of EMI artists, including David Kersh and Tracy Byrd. His big break as a solo musician occurred in 1999, when he released his first album Who Needs Pictures on county label Arista Nashville. The album spawned the #1 hit single "He Didn�t Have to Be", a heartfelt country ballad that propelled the young singer/songwriter to stardom. Paisley�s second album, Part II, was released in 2001. Far from a sophomore slump, Part II went on to sell over a million copies (thanks to the airplay garnished by singles "Two People Fell in Love" and "I�m Gonna Miss Her") in the United States alone. Brad followed up this achievement in 2003 by releasing his most successful album to date, Mud on the Tires. Certified double-platinum by the RIAA and spawning four hit singles, Mud on the Tires showcases Paisley�s diversity as an artist, able to pen and sing both traditional western ballads and tongue-in-cheek country-pop. "Mud on the Tires", the album�s title track, reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Tracks index and remained there longer than any song he has released since. Brad�s most recent album 5th gear was released in mid 2007 to massive critical acclaim, nominated for two Grammy Awards and winning one for Best Country Instrumental for track "Thottleneck". Paisley recently ended a 2007-2008 tour with Taylor Swift and Rodney Atkins, and will kick off his next nationwide tour The Paisley Party in June 2008.
Brad Paisley (born October 28, 1972) is an American country music singer and songwriter from Glen Dale, West Virginia. Brad Paisley has stated that his love of country music stems from his maternal grandfather, who gave Paisley his first guitar at age 8 and taught him how to play. At age 12, Paisley wrote his first song, and by 13 he was the opening act for country singers. Paisley graduated from John Marshall High School in Glen Dale and enrolled at Belmont University (from 1993 to 1995). While in college, he met Frank Rogers, a fellow student who went on to serve as his producer.

Brad Douglas Paisley (born October 28, 1972) is an American singer-songwriter and musician. His style crosses between traditional country music and Southern rock, and his songs are frequently laced with humor and pop culture references.
Paisley was the 2008 CMA and ACM Male Vocalist of the Year winner. Starting with the release of his 1999 album Who Needs Pictures, Paisley has recorded seven studio albums and a Christmas compilation on the Arista Nashville label, with all of his albums certified gold or higher by the RIAA. In addition, he has charted 32 singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, 18 of which have reached No. 1 with a record 10 consecutive singles reaching the top spot on the chart. On November 10, 2010, Paisley won the Entertainer of the Year award at the 44th annual CMA Awards.

Via text, jailed juror says judge too harsh
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A 26-year-old Salem juror sent to jail for texting during a trial says — in a text — the judge was too harsh.
KGW-TV reported that Ben Kohler sent a text Thursday saying he hadn't been smart and doesn't blame the judge for being upset. But, Kohler says, the lawyers weren't upset and two days in jail was too much.
Jurors are warned against using cellphones in court.
In an interview Friday, Kohler told The Associated Press that when the judge caught the glow from his cellphone he was looking at a response from his girlfriend about ride arrangements for the end of the court day Tuesday.
Kohler's ride, though, was in a van to jail, along with the suspect in the burglary case.

A Heartwarming Collection of Christmas Stories and Reflections from Max Lucado
These stories—like your favorite Christmas ornaments—come in all shapes and sizes. They unfold in a variety of settings, from ancient Bethlehem to rural England. From a small Texas town to the heavenly realms. Some are short. Others many chapters long. Some offer reflections. Others imagine Christmas through the eyes of a burnt-out candle maker, a lonely business man, or heavenly angels.
Yet all are vintage Lucado, and all resonate with the wonder of the season.
"In the mystery of Christmas," Max writes, "we find its majesty. The mystery of how God became flesh, why he chose to come, and how much he must love his people. Such mysteries can never be solved, just as love can never be diagrammed. Christmas is best pondered, not with logic, but imagination."
That's what each of these unique Christmas stories help us do. In the midst of the bustle and hurry that often distracts us this time of year, these stories free us to explore the ways in which Christ's coming has forever changed history—and us.

Overall Rating
My thoughts exactly. I'm not sure there is much better than that. I can think of better things, like coffee, Jesus, heaven, and friends, but if we're talking Christmas stories and Max Lucado, not much is better.
Christmas Stories, the title of Max's new book, is just that. A collection of short Christmas stories. It starts with the story of the candle maker.
What's that? You don't know the story? Oh well. I'm sorry. You'll have to get the book to read it.
The next story is the story of The Christmas Child. Oh you say, you know this story. I hate to be rude, but really, unless you've read the book, you haven't heard this story. A man estranged from his wife travels to Clearwater, Texas because someone sent his father the picture of a church in Clearwater. Neither one knows why.
And neither will you until you read the book.
The most disappointing thing in the book was some of "stories" were taken from some of his other books. I wish the larger portion of the book was new stories but don't let that stop you from getting the book.
I loved that the stories were good...no, great stories. I also loved that they weren't the typical "feel-good-everything-is-great" stories. The story I reference above, The Christmas Child, definitely had a surprising ending. Very surprising.
I plan on trying to remember to read one story/chapter a day next December as part of my preparation for Christmas. It's a great addition to your Christmas library.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. (Posted on 12/30/2012)

Spikesource selling Drupal
If someone has to spend hours per week doing performance and stability testing, there's something rotten in the state of Danmark. :-)
Sad, just sad. Look at Bryght; they are selling Drupal, but gives us so much back. I wish SpikeSource could do that too.
But let's take it as a compliment; they've chosen Drupal to base their own system of and not Mambo/Joomla/e107/any other CMS.
The SpikeSource people have been reporting bugs, are writing regression tests, and add value by reaching out to a different class of Drupal users. Also, they might sponsor future Drupal events and contribute in their own way.
Ok then I'll take back my charge. Sorry, should have checked more before post.
Truthfully, though... if you develop a site for anybody other than yourself... you're selling somebody Drupal code. Sure, you're doing a good bit of value added work, however, the root product is code that is freely available.
Additionally, Dries' comments aside, I'd wager that as this company (or any socially responsible company using any open source code as a base) move forward on the path toward profitability they will contribute more to the open source community. I suspect that more of this will happen, for Drupal in particular, after a foundation is established.
For the short period of time I've been offering Drupal hosting services I've been struggling with balancing my relationships with the Drupal community as well as reaching profitability. Let's just say both endeavors are still a work in progress!
Without editorializing too much, it was very heartening to see Dries comment above concerning the usefulness to the Drupal platform of having commercial evangelists out and about.
I've had a similar experience. A few years back I visited the SUSE booth at a LinuxWorld and asked if they knew about Jikes, an open-source Java source-to-bytecode compiler I helped write. They checked and said it wasn't there yet. So I told them about it (it probably helped that Jikes was already in Red Hat) and when I checked back a few months later there it was. Indeed, Jikes is still part of SUSE (I run 10.1 at home; in my day job at IBM I have to run Windows/Notes ... sigh :) )
It can also be fun on the other side of the booth. I was part of the IBM booth at LinuxWorld '99 presenting Jikes and the best part was meeting some of the users. We spend so much time typing at terminals that it is easy to forget there are real people out there.
By the way, working on open source can bring rewards you never even thought of. I haven't worked on Jikes for several years. But my son was recently at the wedding of one of his classmates. She was the bride, and it turned out the groom was a programmer who used Jikes! Gotta love it.
I must have used their calculator wrong it would appear I would save $-4119 ...
Me feels a little bit of exaggerating in there default costs. It is interesting to see their maths though as a company that deploys Drupal along with other services we have always informed our clients of why we use it and provide training for them to run and if need deploy a Drupal site its the added benefits that people buy into when getting a company to deploy sites and expertise. That said next time a client complains we charge to much I may send them to that calculator. :-)
Any updates on the overall contributions of SpikeSource? I was wondering if it would interest anyone to ask them for a copy of the code they are distributing. Should be possible, yes? Just for kicks, or to compare?

Selections from "Evidence"
June 2 - July 10, 2004
Sultan and Mandel created the series Evidence with documentary photographs mined from image banks of government institutions, corporations, scientific research facilities, and police departments. An NEA grant gave the artists a persuasive edge in gaining access these resources, and images were selected for their mysterious and perplexing subject matter. The series was presented in an exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1977, and simultaneously collected in the book Evidence, which is recognized among the most important publications in the history of photography. Removed from their original contexts and repositioned without references to their sources, these images challenged the viewer to examine the conceptual concern of identifying meaning and authorship in the creation and consideration of the art photograph.

Oscar Futures: American Hustle Steals Into View
Jennifer Lawrence looks likely to contend for her second Oscar.
Every week between now and January 16, when the nominations are announced, Vulture will consult its crystal ball to determine the changing fortunes in this year's Oscar race. Check back every Friday for our Oscar Futures column, when we'll let you in on insider gossip, confer with other awards season pundits, and track industry buzz to figure out who's up, who's down, and who's currently leading the race for a coveted Oscar nomination.
Let's check out this week's chart:
American Hustle. After a good-but-muted bow to select press, David O. Russell's con-artist dramedy has picked up major steam: It waltzed away with the top honors given by the New York Film Critics Circle, and we've heard about other high-profile critics who are equally besotted.
The Wolf of Wall Street. Wolf screens for most members of the media later today, but those who've already caught it say that Scorsese has delivered a wild ride that belies the film's three-hour running time. The only question is whether its late arrival will mean snubs from most of the organizations voting early this season.
Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave). David Edelstein says that 12 Years was close to taking the NYFCC's top prize, but McQueen still managed to earn the prestigious Best Director trophy.
Joel and Ethan Coen (Inside Llewyn Davis). The Coens' work on Inside Llewyn Davis is coming in for strong but backhanded praise from critics, like A.O. Scott in the Times, whose rave review notes that the movie's characters "are the playthings of a pair of cruel and capricious fraternal deities whose affection for their creatures is often indistinguishable from contempt." Our own David Edelstein, called the movie "an exquisitely crafted tale of woe with … an overarching snottiness."
Leonardo DiCaprio (The Wolf of Wall Street). "Leo just knocked someone out of the Best Actor lineup," says Deadline's Pete Hammond. "It would be unthinkable to imagine he won't be in the top five."
Christian Bale (Out of the Furnace). While he's earning good reviews for this weekend's revenge drama, Bale seems far more likely to sneak into the race for his higher-profile turn in American Hustle, though even that isn't assured in a year where the competition is this fierce.
Amy Adams (American Hustle). The Vanity Fair covergirl gets a great against-type showcase in American Hustle … but if she gets in, which of the five ladies long-expected to contend in this category will be pushed out?
Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks). Cate Blanchett will most likely take home the lion's share of awards this season (as she did at the NYFCC), but at least Emma Thompson triumphed with the National Board of Review, who delivered their best year-end kudos list in ages.
Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street). As was heavily implied in Wolf's most recent trailer, Hill is said to be the cast's flashy standout. He's getting in.
Bradley Cooper (American Hustle). We also expect Cooper to break into the category for his role as an ambitious but enjoyably deluded FBI agent in American Hustle. He'll face competition from castmate Jeremy Renner, but Cooper's got much more delicious material to play.
Jennifer Lawrence (American Hustle). Thirty seconds after the first screening of American Hustle, some pundits were all ready to hand Jennifer Lawrence her second Oscar, and the NYFCC win gave her even more momentum. She's a blast in the movie, and she's enjoying concurrent blockbuster success with Catching Fire, but will Academy members be as anxious to re-reward Lawrence this soon?
Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street). The Australian newcomer has a lot of industry buzz for her role as DiCaprio's main squeeze in The Wolf of Wall Street, but Deadline's Pete Hammond thinks she's a few scenes shy of an award-worthy performance.

On the scales Amagasa was the heavier man at 126lbs, dead on the the divisional limit. Patomsith on the other hand was slightly lighter, weighing at 125½lbs.
Although the two men were very similar in terms of their weight their height was drastically different with Amagasa towering over Patomsith.
The Japanese fighter stated that his intention is to win here and then to challenge for a world title later in the year. He has his eyes set on an IBF title fight at Featherweight, which would mean he has his eyes on Welsh fighter Lee Selby who recently won the title from Evgeny Gradovich. Of course however Patomsith will be hoping to play the role of spoiler and ruin Amagasa's dreams of a second world title shot.

Posted on June 18, 2008 by Peter Turney
Contemplating the comments on my last post, I began thinking about Ockham's Razor versus Darwinian Evolution. Both of them can be used as heuristics or algorithms for creation, invention, and discovery. In 1964, Ray Solomonoff proposed A Formal Theory of Inductive Inference (Parts I and II). His theory is an Ockhamian algorithm for searching through the space of computer programs. It inspired Gold's language identification in the limit and Kolmogorov complexity. On the other hand, genetic programming is an evolutionary algorithm for searching through the space of computer programs. It is interesting to compare these two approaches to searching in program space.
In Solomonoff's 1964 approach, each program is treated as a black box. This is inefficient, because the knowledge that is gained from evaluating one program cannot be applied when evaluating another program. On the other hand, genetic programming combines pieces from programs to create new programs. The knowledge that is gained from past programs is used in the construction of new programs. Thus we should expect this Darwinian algorithm for searching in program space to perform better than an Ockhamian algorithm for searching in program space. In fact, genetic programming has some impressive successes. As far as I know, Ockhamian algorithms for searching in program space have not achieved anything this impressive. (Let me know if I'm wrong.)
I looked in the index of Peter Grünwald's The Minimum Description Length Principle and in the index of Marcus Hutter's Universal Artificial Intelligence, and I found Solomonoff and Kolmogorov, of course, but there was no mention of genetic programming or John Koza. I looked in the index of Koza's Genetic Programming, and there was no mention of Solomonoff or Kolmogorov, but Chaitin is mentioned. Most interestingly, Ray Solomonoff has a 2006 paper, Machine Learning – Past and Future, in which he talks about his research in Genetic Programming:
Solomonoff was born in 1926. There's a lesson for us young people.

Baldessarini is a German fashion brand of luxury menswear and accessories which mark the highest class. It was established in 1993 after the world famous brand Hugo Boss was transformed in two fashion lines: a youth brand Hugo and the luxury one, Baldessarini, which is the brand for true lovers of luxury and opulence who would never make a compromise with their appearance. Baldessarini is a line suitable for men with a strong sense of style, for sophisticated and refined gentlemen who always look for the best. Baldessarini separates the real man from the boy.
Daniel Hechter was launched in 1962 - first on the catwalk and then in the shops in Paris. In 1998, the designer sold the brand carrying his name to a German company /Miltenberg Otto Aulbach GmbH/. It has been developing the brand to this day while preserving its typical French chic and unique individuality. Daniel Hechter has turned into a standard of uncompromising quality and refined taste combined with the current fashion trends.

I have a question about the recipe "Homemade Alcoholic Ginger Beer" from Catherine Lamb. The recipe says "slowly start to unscrew the cap just until the carbonation begins to release". How long do I let it hiss? Until it stops? Until I can compress the bottle again? Thanks!

What to Ask When Choosing You Wedding Dress
(Courtesy fashioncouture.tumblr.com)
How Much Should I Spend?
One of the first things you have to set is your budget. Wedding dresses can be hugely expensive, so find a reasonable number and then make sure you stick to it- a great rule of thumb is to spend between 5-10% of your overall wedding budget on both the bride and groom'. What you really don't want is the scenario where you're trying on dresses, jubilant and carefree after your free glass of champagne, and you think it's a good idea to quickly try on a pretty frock, even though you know it's wa-ay out of your price range. You fall in love with it, and then fall into wedding dress debt when you buy it! Ignorance, in this case, is certainly bliss.
Which Style Suits Me Best?
It's important to keep an open mind when you're dress shopping, because you might find that the picture you have in your head doesn't translate as smoothly into real life. Accept this and move on. The trick is to try on a range of different styles - the dropped waistline, mermaid, A-line and empire – to find a dress that shows off your best bits and works a treat at covering up what you're trying to hide. It doesn't matter what shape or size you are, it's about how the dress fits you. If you need some help determining exactly what kind of shape you are, check out this article on choosing the right dress for your shape.
What Stylistic Statement Do I Want to Make?
All eyes will be on you, so you'll want to look as beautiful as humanly possible. Be inspired, but don't deviate too much from your natural style or your personality. You want to feel comfortable and still be able to recognise yourself in your own wedding photos in five years' time.
Does the Dress Fit With My Theme and Venue?
You might have your heart set on an elaborate, full skirt with beads and lace and a long, delicate train, but then also want to get married barefoot on the beach. Put some thought into how your dress can complement the venue and theme.
What's the Temperature Going to Be?
You'll never be able to make watertight predictions about Mother Nature, but you can be as prepared as possible for what she may throw at you. Research the weather for the time you're getting married, and then decide on styles and materials. If it's going to be hot and humid, you'll want to stay away from heavy, satin materials and a dress with lots of layers. You want the flush on your cheeks to be one of love, not one of near heatstroke.
What Colour Should I Pick?
White is traditional, but not everyone can pull of this virginal shade, and that's okay. Ivory and champagne are popular alternatives, but modern brides are shunning convention by embracing the entire colour spectrum. My friend got married in orange (yup, I said orange!) but it suited her gregarious personality and dark skin and she looked gorgeous. Pick a palate that suits your skin tone and hair colour, and don't opt for something simply because it's currently in fashion. You don't want to wince when you haul out the wedding album and wearily wonder: "What on earth was I thinking wearing (insert your outrageous colour choice here) to my wedding?"
Which Underwear Should I Buy?
What you choose to don under your dress is just as important as the dress itself, because it can change how said garment hangs on you. Don't get your knickers in a knot though: you can wear control underwear during the day, which will give you an enviable silhouette, and then slip into something far more adventurous (and less Bridget Jones) for your wedding night. Check out these articles on chosing your wedding shapewear and lingerie.
Which Shoes Should I Wear?
Shoes can be a tough decision, especially if you're torn between a pair of on-trend heels and something you won't have to take off after 2 hours. Whatever shoes you slip your feet into, you'll need to take them with you when you go shopping, to find the right length dress.
Can I Dance in it?
I should add in sit, move, eat and go to the toilet! Yes, you want to look your best, but you also need to be able to breathe. Comfort is hugely important as you'll be in this dress for several hours, and you don't want to feel like you're strapped into a Victorian torture device. Try on the dress that you love, and if you can still bust a move without busting a seam, then that's the one for you.
What If I Plan to Lose Weight?
Most brides want to shed a few kilos before the big day, but that may or may not happen. It's important to buy the dress so that it fits you now - not for the figure that you plan to have. It's always far easier (and looks better) to take a dress in that let one out. Also, you may not lose weight in exactly the way you think. If you do end up losing weight, but your breasts aren't affected, for example, chances are that a smaller- sized dress will still be tight/ fit awkwardly in places. Buying a dress that fits you at the weight you're at now will allow more precise- and at the end of the day, better looking- tailoring!
Whom Do I Take With Me to the Dress Shop?
Second opinions are great, but what you don't want is a big entourage whose ideas contradict and confuse you, ultimately leaving you feeling frustrated. Choose your company wisely, so that you get honest feedback from a person whose judgement you value and trust.
Will My Fiance Like It?
Let's face it – this dress is a culmination of your dreams and your future husband will love you irrespective of what you wear. In all probability, he'll want you to wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable, and won't be scrutinising your dress to nearly the extent you will. Dress to make yourself happy and inject your personality and individual sense of style into your outfit, and without fail you'll see his mouth drop open when you sashay down the aisle.

I am 23 years old and I just found out I have the Delta F508 mutation. I have a brother that is 21 years old and was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a baby. Since I can remember I have had digestive problems. I have been to a number of doctors and no one can seem to tell me what the problem is. I was given a sweat test about
6 years ago to see if I had CF and it came back negitive. Recently I decided to get a genetic test and they found the Delta F508 mutation. I am wondering if this has anything to do with my abnormal digestive system, which seems to be getting worse as the years pass. I have problems with bloating after anything I eat, I can bloat up to 10 pounds in a matter of 24 hours. I have tried to go off specific foods but nothing in particular seems to trigger the bloating. I was off gluten for 2 years and didnt see much of a difference when I began to eat normally again. I also have constint issues with diarrhea (between 4-8 times a week). I have extreme cramping, especially around my period (1 week before and 1 week after). I have never had lung issues or breathing but I seem to have every symptom that my brother has when it comes to my digestion.
Has anyone heard of people with the F508 mutation having digestive problems? Could this mutation possibly be causing something other than CF? I read a little about
Crohns Disease and the connection with the mutation but I wasnt sure. Could anyone suggest a type of doctor to see? I was going to make an appointment at the Adult CF clinic but I wasnt sure if they would be able to treat me since I technically don't have Cystic Fibrosis. Also, could anyone reccomend other tests I could have done to try to pin point this problem? Any help would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi Savannah,
I can't give you any definitive answers, but do have a story slightly in common. My little girl had a newborn screening test that showed she was heterozygous for deltaF508. Her sweat test was negative and we were told she was just a carrier of cystic fibrosis. Since birth, she has had a raft of digestive problems: reflux, bloating, constipation when she started solid foods, constant gas, and colicky pains after eating. She has always been interested in food but does not seem to be able to eat much at once; now her appetite is not so good. When she started solid foods at six months she became very constipated. In the six months following that, she went from the 50th percentile to below the 1st percentile for weight, and was diagnosed with failure to thrive. She is now in hospital. Because tests have not showed anything remarkable, the doctors are tending to think that her poor weight gain is due to behaviour
al issues/social issues and possibly reflux. I asked them if they could explain why she was always gassy with a distended abdomen, and they said they would do a stool test for reducing substances. I think this can pick up the presence of undigested sugars, such as lactose- you may well have already had it done.
I hope you get some answers soon. A gastroenterologist would be the person to ask about
digestive stuff. I don't know if you've already pursued this line, but it might also be worth having an ultrasound to check that your reproductive system isn't contributing to the bloating with endometriosis or cysts.

digestive problems and cf runs in our family, I've found out that cramps and diarrhea (thats gotten progressive worse) is caused by 2 types of foods beyond wheat gluetin (which I dont have a problem), but do have a problem with anything containing milk products or a derivative (for which you can take GNC milk digestant enzymes). The other problem I've identified is eating anything with food dyes (yellow 5, blue 1, red 40 etc.) which nothing helps but reading the labels of everything before you eat it, and if you're not sure, or it's definitely colored, don't eat it. My brother has bloating/beltching but I thing he takes an over the counter product last I heard. FYI I used to take 1/2 doz tablets for pizza or ice cream in my 20's, now in my 50's it's 40-45 tablets for the same effect. If this doesn't help, I hope it points you in the right direction. By the way, I don't test for being lactose intolerant, barely reads on the scale, yet it's definitely one of my problems, proven over 30 yrs.

Recently found out I had one mutation Delta f508. Well for years I have had digestive issues even as a baby - gerd, hiatal hernia, severe constipation (thank god for Amitiza), esophagus stricture, pancreatic insufficiency, born didelphic - I don't know if this has anything to do with infertility. I also lost my hearing in both ears from chronic ear and mastoid infections. But I don't think that has anything to do with it. I can only eat small meals otherwise I get gas, bloating/betching, reflux, and feel like I ate a cow. My gastro doctor claims that most of his patients who have pancreatitis or severe digestive issues have at least one mutation bearing Delta F508. My lungs do not bother me.

Hi Savanna,
My case is a bit different, but might be useful.
I have delta f508x2. My sweat chloride test was positive, but did not show any signs of illness until I was 10 or 20. At that time, my only symptom was digestive problems. I started taking digestive enzymes which helped considerably. A few years later, I started developing lung problems. I was never a very active person, so the lung problems got worse somewhat quickly. Looking back, if I had aggressively attacked physical fitness like I should have, my lung functions would be so much better today. I am now almost 56. My pulmonary function tests show I am at 60% of predicted; which isn't intolerable, but could be better. Life is good and I am about
to retire and enjoy more life than I can handle! Lol
There are a lot of different mutations and combinations, you might be one of them. Some don't show symptoms until they are in their 60s. Whatever it is, stay active...it will definitely benefit you in the future.

G542X carrier here, and I've also had digestive problems for pretty much my entire life. Nothing too debilitating, but problems none the less. I've been looking at research on this, and will post links when I'm at a computer.

The Detroit Pistons won the National Basketball League's Eastern Conference division title Wednesday with an 104-99 win over the Orlando Magic.
Chauncey Billups scored 28 points to lead the Pistons, while teammate Richard Hamilton added 21 points. The win also gives Detroit home-court advantage during the upcoming NBA playoffs. Orlando's lead for the eighth and final spot in the Eastern Conference now stands at just one game over the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers downed the Milwaukee Bucks 104-98.
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat defeated the slumping Washington Wizards 85-82 to clinch the Eastern Conference's Southeast Division. Antoine Walker scored 19 points and teammate Dwyane Wade added 16 points.
The Dallas Mavericks posted their 30th road victory of the season with a 105-88 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Denver Nuggets downed the Utah Jazz 115-106, with Denver's' Carmelo Anthony scoring 32 points.
The San Antonio Spurs beat the Sacramento Kings 109-100. The Philadelphia 76ers enjoyed a 102-94 win over the Boston Celtics. Shawn Marion scored 24 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 109-91 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics. And the Houston Rockets downed the Portland TrailBlazers 99-95.

Watch Free Willy (1993) Online
Classic family adventure about a troubled 12-year-old boy who forms an unbreakable bond with a theme park killer whale. On learning that the aquarium's owner plans to sacrifice the whale for hefty insurance, Jesse (Jason James Richter) hatches a plot to free his new friend. Michael Madsen plays the good guy for a change as Jesse's foster dad; not so the ever-villainous Michael Ironside as the greedy park boss. A tale to make everyone cheer.

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) August 17, 2013
On August 17, social media agency fishbat weighs in on an article published by Mashable on July 31st, titled "If Facebook Can Profit from Your Data, Why Can't You?" which discusses a new feature that allows users to share their own personal information.
According to the article, Reputation.com, which provides users with tools that aid in data collection and reputation management, will offer a new feature called "Customer Data Vault" by the end of the year. The feature will give customers the ability to share their personal information with certain companies in return for discounts and other perks, the article says.
The article says users will be able to share home and family addresses, buying habits, professional histories, salary, and income information. They can also pick and choose what type of companies can see the information. For instance, a customer may let airlines have access to information about their income level if they are a frequent flyer, which might lead to offers of loyalty points or an upgrade on their next flight.
The article says some experts are skeptical about Reputation.com's approach. They believe that demographics and other personal information are rarely useful. The opponents say analyzing customer behavior, which companies can already acquire through various types of customer interaction, is more important.
Justin Maas, fishbat's vice president of client relations, can see both sides of the argument. "On one hand, a [social media agency could cut down a lot of time by using this type of feature when doing research for their clients," he says. "Collecting data is useful to find out who will use your product, but even if you gather every bit of information about a person, it still won't tell you how they truly feel about it. Fan engagement and developing loyalty is more valuable in the long run than ads which give little perks to the customers. If a similar company offers better discounts or services in their ads than your company, the user might end up using that product over yours."
Overall, Maas says the most important quality of the feature is that it's completely voluntary. "The general public has become extremely concerned when it comes to their privacy," he says. "That's because anyone can easily search for information on someone if they know where to look. A customer might be more willing to share their information if they're asked permission and are given something in return."
fishbat, Inc. is an award-winning, full-service [online marketing firm and social media agency. We're branding experts dedicated to making your business a part of conversations that are already happening.

I encourage you to vote for Cathy Dahlquist, Senate race in the 31st District.
Democrats and Republicans alike: don't be fooled by the party labels by the names. There are three Republicans running for the 31st Senate race: two extreme Republicans and one rational Republican with an open mind and willingness to collaborate across the aisle in order to keep the work of this state happening.
I did not come willingly to the table working with Cathy – politically we are very different. But through the six years of service together as school board members, as well as working with her during her terms as representative, I have come to value deeply Cathy's tenacity in researching issues and her forthright honesty about her positions. Her demonstrated willingness to collaborate with all concerned to address the challenge of adequately funding public education yet balancing other fiscal concerns with social services, prison, transportation and the like is a critical skill.
I respect the hard work she puts into her decisions, even when I disagree, and still often do.
Cathy understands the Enumclaw School District is ONE district that happens to be blessed with two incorporated cities and several unincorporated, but proud, contributing communities. She will work to make our WHOLE district stronger and serve all our students' best interests.
It is time for a change in the Senate seat for the 31st. Please vote for Cathy.

The England football
players have now all
gone to France.
To take part in the
Euro 2016, they
anticipate their chance.
The boys stood at
the airport – so smart
and so proud.
Wondering why there's
no cheering, coming from
the crowd!
Welcome to La-France –
to all the national teams.
And when you go out
on to the pitch – you'll
hear the cheering and
the screams.
The games are now all
set to kick off – a football
frenzy cheer.
Just settle down in your
armchair – and get a nice
cold beer!
The TV is all set-up – and
the footy we all do adore.
As you cheer on your home
country team – and urge
them all to score.
There are some very good
countries but who will be
the victor?
Will Portugal and Ronaldo
be number one; 'or, will
they both score a ZERO?!
Spain, and Italy too – and
Russia are there to win.
I wonder if the Kremlin
will watch – especially
President Putin!
In fact I bet all the world
tunes in – as America loves
their soccer.
Even Mr Obama will watch –
he fancies the cup of honour!
I bet even the Pope tunes
in to watch the galaxy of
I bet he'll be giving a cheer –
discreetly in the bars!!!!
Even Donald Trump is there,
and also Hillary Clinton.
They also love their soccer –
whilst campaigning on
their own mission.
May the Euro 2016 now
begin – and may the best
team win.
But my message to all the
players is: 'No kicking on
the shin!'
And even when you score
a goal – a handshake really
will do.
No need to start the kissing
lark, or I'll head straight for
the loo!
Who will win this coveted
trophy, and be the champs
of champs?
Just tune in and watch the
games all live – and hope
your team don't get the
Good luck to you all – these
games must now be seen;
'Take your seats and watch
the games – and enjoy Euro

Browse these hardwood floor refinishers with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Maplewood.
Sage Flooring promised a next day project for hardwood flooring installation at a reasonable price. They delivered with an excellent installation and clean up all in 1 day! We are extremely happy with the results. We would highly recommend them.
Greg Carlson was professional and I am very satisfied with the refinishing of my hardwood floors. I have already recommended Gigantous Inc. to 2 friends.
I couldn't be happier with the wood floor refinishing that Joe at Laidrite Flooring did at our new home. He truly went above and beyond. He was very professional, easy to work with and the finished product is stunningly beautiful. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
They did a great job refinishing the wood floors
Dustin was extremely timely with his communication and was available to come to my house the same day we spoke on the phone. He answered all my questions and was very knowledgable about the entire process for someone like myself who knew little about the whole hardwood refinishing process. You can tell he really cares about doing the job professionally and the results show. I would hire him again in an instant.
Picture this. ...a flooded house, with endless tussle with the insurance company and a gloomy moldy smell , until I met Julio. From hard wood floor installation, plumbing in the bathroom, installing a storm door, refinishing partial basement from water damage to helping with other handy jobs that were not even part of the agreement, because he is s perfectionist. The best part of it all was his professionalism. He treated my home with respect and I am happy to come home again.
Refinished wood floors. Very helpful & thorough fellows did the work. Very informative on care of floors.
Tom refinished the wood floors in my entire upstairs and all of my stair treads leading upstairs. He quoted me a very fair price and did an awesome job. Everything was done in about 3 days. He made great suggestions that helped me decide to do floating stairs and to use water-based varnish. I would recommend him for any wood floor refinishing.
Majestic floors worked with us on selecting perfect stain for our remodel. They added a hardwood floor in Diningroom that flows seamlessly to existing hardwood. When we had a problem with the polycoat( due to humidity). They came back out, buffed it down and did another coat. Very pleasant to work with.
Holmquist did an excellent job refinishing our hardwood floor. They were very quick in responding to our questions. Everyone was very friendly and easy to work with. We'll definitely hire them again.
I highly recommend Restore This Floor for any floor repair/replacement. I had a number of damaged pieces of engineered hardwood in my kitchen. Adam explained the procedure in detail. The damaged pieces were replaced,the entire work area cleaned - spotless.I'm very impressed with the quality of work and professionalism by both Adam and Brandon. Paul Pribyl Andover, MN.
S&S did an amazing job on our floor refinish! They were able to do it in within the short window we had and worked with our schedule. Highly recommend!
I had Carl's Wood Flooring refinish all the wood flooring in my home shortly after I purchased it as they were in terrible condition. They sanded down the flooring applied my choice of stain color and then put a poly sealant on it. I have had nothing but compliments on the refinished floors. The guys doing the work were very courteous and worked many long hours to get the job finished when promised. This is a messy/dusty job and the guys did a very good work of cleaning and or sealing off the other rooms in the house as to keep it to a minimum. I should also mention that once I contacted Carl he was out at my home giving me estimates as requested, making suggestions on what to do. He had many choices of stain colors available for me to choose from along with pictures of the actual colors. There was one room that I had an old style parquet flooring in it, I assumed it would need to be replaced however Carl assured me that when they were done it would look like new and he was right, it turned out awesome. (See pictures) In any case I would definitely recommend giving Carl's Wood Flooring a call you wont be disappointed. Check out some of the before and after pictures we couldn't be happier.
I had installed red oak floors in my home over 10 years ago. They had sustained a great deal of water damage and pet stains and scratches and looked beyond repair. Barry and his amazing crew brought my floors to a beautiful look with minimal sanding and applying a gorgeous dark stain. I will try to upload pictures.
I have hired Rick for many "handyman" jobs over the years and I have always been impressed with his quality of work, timeliness and ability to tackle any job even in an old house full of unforeseen surprises. Rick has replumbed my house and fixed general plumbing issues, hung screen and steel doors, wired lights and ceiling fans, done sheet rocking, layed tile flooring, installed appliances, bathroom sinks and faucets. He has redone my steps to the upstairs by refinishing the wood, running a carpet runner and adding decorative railings. He really can do most everything you ask him to do. He is reasonably priced. I would definiteyl recommend him.
Armagh Hardwood Flooring did a wonderful job. If I could post the pictures you would see an amazing transformation. Carpet had been glued down to the hardwood floors and John was able to get the glue off!! I had five quotes for the job, two of the contractors wouldn't even attempt to get the glue off but John was able to remove it and was very reasonable with pricing. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. John and Luann are wonderful people to deal with, very friendly and honest!!!!

Want to host a festive office holiday party? Here are our favorite Christmas office party ideas to help you pick a theme, decorate, and plan some activities for a fabulous event.
Christmas Office Party Themes
A fun way to add some sparkle to your office holiday party is to give it a theme. This can help you when planning your decorations, activities, and even your party venue. Here are a few Christmas office party ideas for holiday themes (click on the links to find out more about each of these):
- A White Elephant Party — Everyone brings an unusual wrapped gift (usually no more than $15) to exchange in a hilarious game where trades and bargaining rule the day.
- Secret Santa — This is another gift exchange theme. Consider setting a price limit and sending out a survey of your employees' favorite colors and interests. The website Elfster.com can be a great resource for setting up your Secret Santa party by offering online invitations, wish lists and surveys for your guests.
- Ugly Christmas Sweater Party — Celebrate the kitschy side of the the holidays by inviting everyone to wear their brightest, jingliest, fuzziest, and downright ugliest sweater for a fun holiday party guaranteed to get everyone laughing out loud.
- Holiday Minute to Win It — Minute to Win It is a fun, fast paced game show that takes everyday objects and creates crazy games that must be completed in under a minute. The best part, however, is that all of these games can be done in your office or home, making Minute to Win It an awesome theme for a holiday party.
- Winter Wonderland Theme — For a more formal feel, use this blue and white theme to add some sparkle to your event.
- A Christmas Caroling Party — A great party idea for big groups and families, this Christmas party theme gets everyone involved in some old fashioned fun!
- A Cookie or Ornament Exchange — Ask everyone to bring a plate of their favorite holiday sweets or a wrapped ornament to trade (or both)!
Christmas Office Party Invitations
The holidays are a busy time of year, so sending great invitations is a great way to get everybody excited about taking a break to attend the party. Here are some ideas…
1. If your party is going to be informal, sending an online invitation from a website such as
Evite.com, can be a great way to get the word out, ask people to contribute, and keep track of your rsvps.
2. Using humor in your invitation wording can be another fun idea that will get people talking about your event. Here are a few Christmas party wording options:
- "Christmas begins about the first of December with an office party and ends when you finally realize what you spent, around April 15th of next year!" — P.J. O'Rourke
- "Merry Christmas, nearly everybody!" — Ogden Nash
3. If your event is going to be more formal, consider sending printed invitations. Receiving a traditional printed invitation is becoming less common, and will be appreciated by your employees. Here are a few that we like:
Holiday Dots Invitations
Ornate Holiday Invitations
Sweet Holiday Dots Invitations
4. If you would like people to bring a gift for an exchange or food to share, be clear on your invitations about this so that everyone knows well ahead of time.
Christmas Office Party Decorations
If you are hosting your party at the office, it's important to give things a little holiday flair to make the holidays feel special. Here are some Christmas office party ideas for decorations:
- Ask for Volunteers — You might have a variety of cultures that make up your work force. One way to be sure everyone feels represented is to ask your employees to help decorate by bringing in an item that is special to their own holiday celebrations.
- Hang Some Colored Lights — Lights are a quick and easy way to give things a holiday feel. String them around the ceilings or wrap them around posts.
- Set Out an Artificial Tree — A lit Christmas tree is another easy way to give your decorations a boost. Consider using it to hang tags for gift requests from a local charity throughout the holiday season. Then, as people fulfill these requests, you can stack the gifts under the tree.
- Wrap Framed Pictures to Look Like Gifts — If you have framed pictures in your office, dress them for the holidays by wrapping them in bright paper and adding big bows to look like large gifts on the walls.
- Hang some Snowflakes — Use clear fishing line to hang some sparkly snowflakes at different heights from the ceiling for an instant winter feel.
- Set Out a Holiday Photo Prop — You can inexpensively purchase large cardboard photo stand ins where people stick their faces into a holiday scene. These are great for lightening the mood during the holidays.
- Hang Stockings for your Employees — Drape a clothesline along one wall where you hang inexpensive holiday stockings with an employee's name written on each. Then periodically throughout December stick small candies or notes of encouragement into the stockings for a special surprise.
Christmas Office Party Games
If your party theme is a white elephant or Minute to Win It, you will already have some great activities to keep your celebration hopping. Here are a few more Christmas office party ideas for games that can help liven up your event.
- Christmas Trivia — Ask your employees to come up with some holiday trivia questions to create a game unique to your office, or download a free printable Christmas trivia game to use at your party.
- Name That Christmas Song — For this game, one person gets to be the DJ and plays a few notes of a holiday hit. The first person to correctly identify the song gets a small prize. Continue on, using increasingly obscure songs to make the game harder and harder. Award the person who identified the most songs the title of "Christmas Music Champion"!
- The Santa Hat Game — Give everyone a Santa hat (or other party hat) when they enter the party. (The goal of the game is NOT to be the last one wearing a hat.) Once everyone has arrived, tell people about the game and the goal, explaining that the only rule is that no one can take their hat off until you have. Let the party continue for a while, and as time goes by, people will take their attention off you, and even forget the game is happening. Then remove your hat and watch as people slowly realize what's going on. Eventually, some unsuspecting person will be last to notice, and amidst some giggles and pointing, this person loses the first round of the game. If there is time, get the hats back on and give the loser the chance to start the next game.

Troubled hip-hop producer Scott Storch is wanted by officials in Florida after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Storch, who has collaborated with stars including Dr. Dre, Beyonce and Justin Timberlake, is accused of falling behind on court-ordered child support payments and other bills amounting to over $20,000 , and he was due in court to appear in front of a judge to answer the allegations, according to TMZ.com.
However, the star missed his court date and the judge has now issued a warrant for his immediate arrest.
The website also reports police in Los Angeles are hoping to catch up with Storch to investigate a report filed by bosses at the Beverly Hills Hotel, alleging he failed to pay a $4,000 bill.
Storch once boasted a multi-million dollar fortune, but the recovering drug addict has suffered severe financial problems in recent years - he filed for bankruptcy in 2008, and a year later (09) his Florida mansion was repossessed after he missed mortgage payments.
