How to Revive a Dead Rechargeable Battery
Tool Deal | Oct 24, 2010 | Comments 0
Has four actions to revive dead battery, such as the laptop battery. Time is a rechargeable battery will lose its ability to continue, no fee will be more. This happens because the overhead, which makes the other very hot or very cold, and many. You can think that can not be downloaded, you need to recycle and they just buy newbattery. Instead, follow these steps for reviving the battery with a low dose and high-capacity and low voltage drops quickly to life.
The tools you need
* Dead Battery
* Multimeter
* Welding
* Insulated gloves
* Safety glasses
Step 1. Check the battery levels
First, check the equipment that recharges the MAKITA Power Tools Battery to ensure that they are the reason why the battery does not recharge. Otherwise, you will need to verify the multi-battery. In most cases, the reading indicates that the effort was much lower than what it says on the screen. If you have a battery backup for one, you can use this measure to determine the power of the battery must be after the resurrection of the dead.
Step 2. Review equipment levels
Welding test your multi to ensure that the AC adapter, and is also used to check if the gun is positive or negative. Welding may sometimes be a control that is polarized is the opposite of what you need to perform several key special welding until you said you did about 30 volts.
Step 3 Stop the battery
This procedure can be very dangerous, because it uses a high voltage at this point. Bosch drill with the battery dead, and be sure to use insulated gloves and goggles, welding, press the end of its positive state and the state batterywhile end of the negative terminal of the battery negative. When using this technique, you did not solder the battery. Just click at the end of welding and battery and a positive shock to see the sparks, if done correctly. What is this valid for a large number of the current cell, dendrite is vaporized, such as gearboxes. You can also use this same technology is the battery, which can be worn, which separates the shell to obtain cells. Then the tool materials employed and sand are then welded or a car battery.
Step 4. Test Battery
Now, when the battery is replaced once the program you use, you will see that Hitachi Drill Battery will be much better than that used to be. Although the application of the starter battery will also have consequences. And from other dendritic say will be far behind, and the materials were evaporated now permeated material separation, which makes the resistance that can short plates. The cell can be reduced and will be charged with support for the poor.

Yesterday (10/5/11) two announcements were made. First the death of Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer and second, the decision by Sarah Palin, erstwhile Governor of Alaska and vice-Presidential candidate, not to run for the presidency in 2012.
With Steve Jobs' death we lost not only a genius who shaped the technology and the aesthetics of that technology for the last 35 years, but we lost the visionary who changed the way we listened to music (or consumed content) and what we understood as the proper role of the telephone (if you can even call it that anymore).
Whereas what exactly has Palin's contribution been? This is not to pick on Palin, you could equally well substitute any other of the candidates running for office. Which leads to an understanding of why politicians have such a low approval rating.
Jobs was known as a creator. He didn't succeed by tearing down the other technology companies, by bad mouthing them with distortion, spin and lies. He built stuff that people wanted to buy. Politics on the other hand is the art of destruction. It doesn't create, it reduces. Why would voters rate politicians well when they are constantly told by other politicians what bums they are?
RIP Steve Jobs, even people who weren't Apple folk benefited from you, as you forced the PC people to get better as well. Good luck to you Sarah Palin, perhaps now you can find something to build.

Over the past 15 years, the Flavor Forecast has predicted trends that have changed the way people eat at restaurants and cook in their home kitchens. Even the products found on retail shelves today were impacted by trends forecasted in this industry-leading report.
"Many early trending flavors in past reports have become favorites of today. Take chipotle chile, for instance," said McCormick Executive Chef, Kevan Vetter. "When we first identified this chile pepper as a flavor to watch in 2003, many people couldn't pronounce it. Today, it's a household name. Pumpkin pie spice, sea salt, coconut water and cocktail-inspired flavors have seen similar success, taking over restaurant menus and grocery store shelves. The flavor trends highlighted within our 15th annual Forecast promise to do the same."

The winged bean is one of the newest Asian vegetables coming to market these days, and its appearance is long overdue. Known for centuries in tropical Asia, this attractive climbing perennial is more or less your total meal: all parts of the plant are edible — the pods, the beans inside, the shoots, the flowers and even the tuber.
The seeds and tubers have been getting a lot of attention in the scientific press because of their high protein content, which can be up to 20 percent — way ahead of potatoes and yams. But it's the pods we generally see in Asian markets these days: long, flat and covered with frilly "wings" along four edges. Best of all, winged beans are fairly easy to grow and make a flavorful addition to stir-fries and grills. The taste of the pods is something between a snow pea and asparagus; they are terrific when grilled and served with dipping sauce.
You won't find much about them on the Internet because the beans are new to Americans, and commercial growers have yet to settle on a name that does not create confusion at the produce stand. Right now the beans are sold as four-angled beans, Goa beans, princess beans, winged peas and winged beans.
The mature pods can grow up to 9 inches long, though they taste better when picked small, no more than 6 inches long. Most commercially grown beans are harvested at 4 to 6 inches. When the pods become too ripe, they get stringy and tough, but the flip side is that the seeds inside can be eaten just like your regular garden variety shelling peas. The ripe (dry) seeds can be cooked like beans by first soaking them in water for an hour, then boiling for about 25 to 30 minutes. The tender shoots and white or pale blue flowers can be eaten raw, and add a lot of pizzazz to summer salads.
Winged beans (Psophocarpus tetra-gonolobus) are said to have originated in Mauritius or Madagascar. They are thought to have been disseminated by Arabs because some of the names used for the beans in places such as Malaysia (where the beans are called "kacang botol") are derived from Arabic. This is one of the most important vegetables in south Indian and Thai cooking because the plants are perennial in the tropics and they supply a steady source of food year-round. Their nitrogen-fixing ability helped secure their role as a cover crop on banana plantations, both to enrich the soil and to provide an alternative source of income when bananas are not producing. They are adaptable to a wide variety of conditions, which caused them to spread quickly. Today there are hundreds of varieties, many of which were developed in China.
Of the varieties developed by Chinese gardeners, the 'Hunan' winged bean is credited for making cultivation possible in North America. Most winged beans grown in the United States are raised in south Florida and planted for winter cropping, because the plants do not flower unless the day length is short. 'Hunan,' however, can be grown anywhere with at least two months of warm nighttime temperatures (70 degrees or more). It will begin to flower in the latter part of the summer and then crop heavily in September until frost.
Winged beans are sensitive to cold, so even in the high 30s they will begin to look sad and yellow. A frost cover can help push production into the late season, but chilly weather makes the flowers drop, so fighting frost may not be worth the trouble.
One thing that makes winged beans special in spite of their finicky reaction to day length and temperature: they resist most pests and diseases, so they are a great boon to organic growers. They are just about as carefree as cowpeas, and that means one less worry in the garden.
Treat winged beans like pole beans, allowing the vines to run up to 10 feet long, supported by a sturdy trellis (when loaded with pods, the vines are heavy). My recommendation is to plant them in rows or hills as early as you can — I force mine in pots so they already have a head start when I plant them out along with my tomatoes. The seeds do not germinate easily, so it's best to soak them overnight and pick out the ones that swell. They like rich, loamy soil, but also are excellent as a soil-nitrifying legume. So you can use them to build up your soil, and the vines make nutrient-rich compost.
Each seed only produces one vine, which grows like Jack-in-the-Beanstalk unless pruned. Several growers have told me they prune the vines after about the 12th leaf appears. This causes the vines to send out as many as six side shoots, much like a grapevine, so you get a huge increase in pod production. A large pod harvest is most important for those of us who do not live in tropical climates, because frost is likely to ruin any chance of enjoying the tubers. (Although it's now possible to find these tubers in Asian markets.) Boil, steam, bake or fry them thoroughly prior to eating.
The choice of when to harvest is up to you. The pods grow quickly in a matter of days, so perhaps the best thing is to experiment and pick them at different stages to see what level of tenderness you like. I prefer the small ones (2 to 3 inches long) because they look nice in stir-fries and soups, and you can eat them whole. The large ones must be cut into pieces, although grilling tenderizes them so you can eat them whole, like finger food. If you boil them like string beans, cook them no more than four to five minutes. It's best to cook the beans the day you pick or purchase them, because if you store them in the refrigerator, they will start to turn black or an ugly green and there's no way to correct that.
Seed saving is not difficult but results can be spotty in terms of actual seed production, mainly because the seeds develop late in the pod's maturity, hence late in the season. This can be a problem in areas where your growing season is short. In other words, you may get plenty of pods for eating, but not many seeds.
If you live in an area with a long growing season, you can try to save some winged bean seeds. You'll need to designate specific plants for seed saving, and let them run to seed. When the ripe pods turn black and dry out, they're ready to pick. Store the seeds in airtight jars in a cool, dark place. Seeds reserved for cooking can be stored in your pantry just like any other dry peas or beans.

I came from southeast Asia(Philippines) and migrated to US in late 90's. My parents raised me in a farm, growing rice crops to tropical vegetables and of course poultry and livestock raising. My mom loves to cook "pinakbet" a native northern Filipino dish, a combination of all tropical vegetables we grow from the farm, cooked with fish sauce. When I came to US I am trying to look for this veg. and I cannot find anywhere. I check on line and able to purchase a pack of 20 seeds and i have them planted like the instruction came with the packet, to my disappointment I only 3 grew and 2 survived. After, 2.5 months starts bearing fruits. I was so glad, due to the fact that I have not seen/tasted this delicious and nutritious veg for more than a decade and on top of that I able grow them on a pot from by back yard. But after few weeks it stop bearing fruits due to heat wave then bearing fruits back when the temp back down to 70's to 80's.
I love winged beans, so delicious, crunchy when harvested young by just steaming them and dip in soy sauce. Can anyone tell me how I can get hold of the seeds that I can plant, grow, and propagate? Thanks.

Given his lineup was riddled with injuries, Downers Grove North boys volleyball coach Mark Wasik would have been happy to get out of last weekend's Schaumburg tournament with a winning record.
The Trojans did more than just win. They went 5-0 to take the title and, in the process, learned a great deal about themselves as they improved to 12-0. Perhaps most impressive was the fact that North had to rally from first-set losses in the semifinals and finals to claim the championship.

The Inevitable Archive Commentary
There is a new cadre of 'fan' who has taken to constant second guessing of my motives and decisions. Their responses are usually Cassandraesque, rife with predictions of career death and loss of core audience. If results are not to their satisfaction, they threaten… what? To actively campaign against playing my music on the radio?
True or false: the above is Bob Weirs reflections on the fans who have signed an online petition to boycott the Grateful Dead because the Dead withdrew their live recordings from the Internet Archive.
Answer: false. This was Todd Rundgren replying to his fans outrage over an equally surprising decision of his right around the same time [Editors note: his decision to tour with Elliot Easton and Greg Hawkes in a new incarnation of the Cars]. Of course, the truth is that this is not exactly a new cadre of fan, although with the advantage of Internet these fans can get their sentiments across to Todd rather more easily than before. The Dead, however, must have known about these sorts of folks at least since the shooting of The Grateful Dead Movie in 1974. Wonder if that I dont know if Im even gonna be ALIVE five years from now!! guy is still out there
Like most Dead fans, I had a variety of emotions in response to the recent Internet Archive incident. A lot of them were negative disappointment in the band for their uncoordinated and unstrategic moves, annoyance with many of the fans for their self-centeredness. One surprisingly dominant reaction I had, though, was amusement. Who would have thought that a story about a collecting hobby I share would be important enough to make NPR, Newsweek and the New York Times?
My amusement at the medias recognition, though, also comes packaged with annoyance. For instance, Jon Pareles, in an otherwise thoughtful piece in the Times, suggests that the Dead condoned taping throughout its history (not so before the establishment of the tapers section in fall 1984 tapers had some happy stories, but also many tales to tell of roadies cutting cables) and suggests that [t]he new approach, giving fans some but not all of what they had until last weekdowngrades fans into the customers they were all along, ignoring the fact that this downgraded status is (as of now, at least) precisely the same as what the fans had in the many years before the Archive.
Others, such as Newsweeks Conventional Wisdom column, have seized the opportunity to make fun of their notions of the bands hippie ethos and their supposed betrayal of it. Let he who would happily give away his work cast the first stone.
Despite all of the bad things that came out of this flap, here is one thing I liked: it got me thinking about the Deads music again. These days I often listen to Dead shows while walking laps on an indoor track near my apartment. The other afternoon I took a 77 show over there, and it was amazing how all the questions about whether Barlow was right in accusing Hart of supporting the decision to take the shows down, what Weir thinks of the fans and what Jerry would have done melted away. What was there was the music fresh, interactive, youthful, vibrant.
Since I had been collecting for ten years before the Archive went up, I didnt take much advantage of the ability to grab every show. It was certainly fun while it lasted. For the new people who missed the window of opportunity, though, I can at least say from experience that theres something to be said for not having everything, and for treasuring what you do have while keeping an eye peeled for the chance to get more. 5/8/77 had more luster when I didnt know that how they sounded that night was pretty much how they sounded every night back then.
The Archive was a great resource. However, it was also another weapon in the Internets arsenal of distractions. Everything was there, so there was less of an excuse not to have everything. The Archive argument seems to be waning at the moment, but for a few weeks there around Thanksgiving it was absorbing, helping to sharpen my thinking and verbal skills (every touch of gray has a silver lining) but eating up time I could have spent listening to the music.
Now, as everyone knows, audience tapes are downloadable again, but soundboards are stream-only. I expect to be doing more streaming in the coming weeks. At least while I throw more time into discussions and keeping up with the news, I can test a few Dead shows and, if theyre exceptional, seek out a trade or, until the Powers That Be put their feet down (which Im not betting will happen), a torrent.
So, with a mild rueful undercurrent, and with no desire to write or sign a frickin online petition, thanks again, Grateful Dead.

The camp concluded with lots of laughter and tears. Tears of joy and tears of sadness, for it was the end of the camp. There is a genuine camaraderie among the swimmers, our children, our family, The Water Family.
The seniors bonded and at the same time, they welcomed the new juniors and took great care of them. The juniors were soon looking up to the seniors and wanted to spend as much time as they could with the seniors.
The Water Family wants our children to see swimming as a fun and useful sport/skill in life. We nurture our swimmers to put in their best effort, not only in swimming but also in character building. At the camp, we saw how our children grow and better themselves and we're absolutely proud of them!
We hope everyone had fun and at the same time, a huge thank you to the parents who took time off to travel to Malaysia, Desaru, with us.
Thank you, everyone!

Weight-loss category enters 2013 light on results
Just in time for slimming New Year's resolutions, GlaxoSmithKline says it's unlikely that regulators will add obesity-fighting claims to GLP-1 diabetes drugs, reported Bloomberg. The report featured a quote from GSK's R&D chairman which dismisses that possibility due to the fact that the drugs aren't all that effective in helping to achieve weight loss.
Novo Nordisk has taken the opposite position, putting its diabetes medication Victoza through Phase III studies of the medication to test out its viability as an obesity treatment.
Novo's success could provide yet another tool for the 35.7% of US adults the CDC says are obese. It could also provide another alternative to gastric bypass surgery. Obesity means having a body mass index of at least 30. Overweight is a BMI of between 25 and 29.9.
The past year has also brought some new medical therapies into the mix, which have yet to garner sales that signify patient interest in lifelong drug treatments, or are still awaiting approval to dive into the consumer marketplace.
Vivus's Qsymia, which is being touted by 150 sales reps, has not been an immediate hit. The company is working on a modified REMS proposal that would allow it to distribute the drug using designated retail pharmacies. The company told MM&M in an earlier interview that the weight-loss trend is a seasonal one and that it expects things to take off during the first quarter. It launched a free 14-day trial promotion last month. In addition, Qsymia's failure to get the nod from European regulators could also be a contributing factor in its slow start.
Meanwhile, Arena snagged an FDA approval for its weight-loss drug Belviq (lorcaserin) back in June, but is still waiting for the Drug Enforcement Agency to classify the drug before it can begin marketing it. An Arena spokesman told MM&M by email that the company and Eisai, who will market the drug in the US, expect it will be tagged a Schedule IV drug. These drugs have a lower abuse risk when compared to Schedule III drugs, like Abbott's Vicodin (which is considered to have a lower abuse risk than Schedule II drugs like Oxycontin). Anxiety medications Xanax and Ativan are Schedule IV drugs.Still hovering is Orexigen's Contrave, which had to undergo a heart safety study prior to FDA consider iation, slowing its pipeline progress compared to competitors. Company CEO Michael Narachi said in a September statement that the naltrexone SR/bupropion SR mix could get OK'd late next year and that the company is already working on marketing plans with co-promoter Takeda. At the same time, it's hammering out the design of its clinical trials for another pipeline obesity drug, Empatic, which is a combination of bupropion SR and zonisamide SR.

That's the Alpha 1S from UBTech. The company was at Toy Fair to show off their Alpha 2 robot, as well as its Jimu system of construction bots. (Think robots made from Lego-style bricks.) We saw a Jimu penguin that also moved and squawked, but there are three other animals in the line, including a giraffe and a scorpion. The Jimu penguin was definitely fun, and a nice way to combine your love of Lego with learning about robotics.
Batman was all over the DC booth, from toys based on the classic animated series — including a 34-inch Batwing! — to a set of six multi-colored Batmen taken from a classic Silver Age story where Batman wears different colored costumes.
There was also a life-size BB-8 made out of Lego, which was pretty neat. It was part of a large-scale diorama that featured life-size Lego versions of Poe, Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren, and Captain Phasma.
PHEW! Believe it or not, that's, like, 10 percent of what we saw at Toy Fair. We have a couple more posts in the pipeline digging into some of the other things we saw (like a pretty sweet electric car/kart for kids). But we'll let you take a breather first!

10 More K-drama actors who know how to kiss
You squealed with excitement for our list of actors who knew how to kiss. You searched for your favorites and quickly let us know if they were in there or not. I heard you and went collecting favorite moments. So here is Part 2 of actors who know how to kiss — the Readers' Choice version.
First on our list was the most requested actor and the most requested kiss.
1. Yoon Si Yoon
This kiss from Me Too, Flower seemed to really knock you for a loop, and really, those lips should come with a warning.
2. Lee Min Ho
I know you all love the "Game Over" kiss. And you were quite put out with me for not including it in Part 1. The reason is that this lovemaking scene kiss from the drama Personal Taste is MY favorite Lee Min Ho kiss. This one just moves me more. He's making his final surrender to her and his feelings. Willing to accept her forgiveness and love her wholeheartedly. *sigh* I know the gentle loving in this scene has ended up in more than just my dreams, right?
3. Hyun Bin
We have quite a few great kisses by the amazing Hyun Bin. This Christmas Kiss in Secret Garden is one of his best. It helps that his co-star, Ha Ji Won, is great at kissing back. Interestingly enough, Hyun Bin may also hold the record for the longest onscreen kiss for one of his movie roles. I know I wouldn't mind being locked in his arms for several minutes, hours, days... but who's counting?
4. Seo In Guk
This kiss in Answer Me 1997 shows what happens when you dare a man to accept a measly peck on the lips. He is going to show you what type of kiss he really wants from you. All I could think when he threw the jacket down was "Challenge Accepted." It's sexy as hell how far he bends her over the counter. My insides turned to jelly. How about you?
5. Lee Seung Gi
I loved him as the loyal and loving gumiho in Gu Family Book. And his forest kiss with Suzy was magnetic and sexy. The magical fireflies didn't hurt the atmosphere either. I love that their hands are moving as they are fully involved in this kiss. No statues here.
6. Jang Hyuk
What i love best about this kiss from Fated to Love You is how much he is trying to not give in to her kiss. Neither of them can deny how much they need the other, and his surrender to her is sweet and sexy. That tear that never leaves his eye lash the whole scene adds a vulnerability to his strength that makes the scene even more compelling and wonderful. He doesn't want to burden her with his fear, but she proves that they can be brave together.
7. Kim Jaejoong
Jaejoong is one of the prettiest and sexiest men in K-Drama Land. I love watching him because there is an sweet intensity to his work that draws me in. In this kiss in Triangle, he's just hurt the girl, and he is now trying to say he's sorry in the only way he's got left to him.
8. Park Yoochun
This kiss from I Miss You gets you so close to his lips that you feel like all you need to do is pucker up a little and you could join right in. Forget the amazing Yoon Eun Hye as she kisses back; just move on over so I can cut in.
He's strong, handsome, and virile. Is there any other reason to love him? Oh, sure, he's got amazing talent and makes us fall in love with him when he's being cute and playful, but... like... *sigh* What was I saying again?
10. Song Joong Ki
You cried for Joong Ki to be in this list. And while he is an amazing kisser, it always seemed unfair that the kisses in Nice Guy were not really genuine. One or the other was always faking it. They are still amazing kisses and he certainly knows how to move his lips. I can only hope his next drama Descendants of the Sun allows him to enjoy his kisses without ulterior motives.
If you missed Part 1 and you think your favorite is missing, take THIS LINK to check out our other favorites. Also, check with us soon as we bring you 10 Actresses who know how to enjoy a kiss, where we salute the girls who don't just stand there frozen in shock. Who would you include in that list?

These tips I recently read on a post by Melissa Brisman (source: theadventurouswriter.com) are for reducing infertility stress and will help if you're trying to get pregnant and are coping with constant disappointment! You're probably getting a little stressed out – and that definitely won't help you conceive. These stress relief tips may increase your chances of getting pregnant, and will definitely improve your mood and relationships.
Before the tips, here's a hopeful quip:
"Slow down and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you," said John De Paola.
I don't know if pregnancy will "catch" you if you slow down…but heck, it's worth a try! To learn more about sperm, ovulation, and getting pregnant, click Fertility and Infertility for Dummies by Gillian Lockwood and others. And, read on for dozens of tips on reducing the stress of infertility….At East Coast Fertility, join our Mind Body Program where reducing stress and improving your odds is the name of the game.
Social Ways to Reduce Infertility Stress
– Tell your friends what you need. If don't want people to keep asking if you're pregnant (I hate that!), then tell them that you'll give them the good news when you're ready!
– Accept your way of dealing with infertility. You and your partner's method of coping with infertility could be much different than mine, or your sister's – and the sooner that you accept it, the better.
– Talk to your friends about your frustrations and joys.
– Have a relaxing glass of wine or a margarita with friends, but don't overdo it (though some say you shouldn't drink alcohol at all when you're trying to get pregnant…that's a personal choice).
– Prioritize invitations to reduce stress. Give yourself time to unwind and do what you want to do. Say no to parties or get-togethers, or just make a brief appearance.
– Don't fall into the trap of comparing your life, situation, relationship, or family to other people's.
Physical Ways to Reduce Infertility Stress
– Get a full-body massage – and tell your massage therapist that you're trying to get pregnant.
– Spend time out in nature: walking, skating skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer.
– Take a warm bubble bath (but if you're a female or male coping with infertility, make sure you check with your doctor first).
– Stop eating before you're full – don't gorge on chocolates, chips, or fast food.
– Get enough sleep.
– Reduce your caffeine intake (I'm sure you've heard that before!).
– Take your vitamins, supplements, minerals (you've heard that before, too, I bet).
– Drinks lots of water.
– Get a manicure or pedicure.
– Make love for the sake of making love.
Mental Ways to Reduce Infertility Stress
– Volunteer at a food bank, hospital, or animal shelter.
– Take downtime to snooze, read, relax.
– Play your favorite card and board games – laughing will reduce the stress of getting pregnant.
– Take a regular crossword puzzle or Suduku break.
– Pick your battles, choose your priorities.
– Let go of the little stuff.
– Watch your favorite TV shows or movies.
– Share your baking or meals with homebound people or lonely neighbors.
Emotional Ways to Reduce Infertility Stress
– Practice gratitude.
– Have realistic expectations.
– Laugh!
– Stay in touch with your authentic emotions.
– Cry, scream, or punch the pillow when you need to.
– Stop to take a deep breath every hour or so throughout the day.
– Let yourself grieve. Reducing stress involves expressing your emotions.
– Keep your old traditions and healthy habits alive, but be open to new ones.
Creative Ways to Reduce Infertility Stress
– Paint, draw or carve your thoughts and feelings.
– Visit a museum or art gallery to reduce holiday stress.
– Go to a movie in the middle of the day by yourself.
– Listen to music that relaxes and/or energizes you.
– Go for a drive in the country; stop for hot chocolate and muffins.
– Write in your journal to reduce stress.
Spiritual Ways to Reduce Infertility Stress
– Pray, and remember the big picture.
– Read the Bible, Torah, or other meaningful book.
– Seek the deep meaning behind church or mass services to reduce holiday stress.
– Remember that your God, Creator or Higher Power is working behind the scenes.
– Adjust your perspective to include peace, compassion, and forgiveness.
Family Ways to Reduce Infertility Stress
– Change your regular responses to aggravating family members, especially if your normal responses haven't worked in the past!
– Shrug off challenges and criticisms.
– Let go of past betrayals, mistakes, failures – both yours and others'.
– Don't expect people to change (unless you change first).
– Maintain healthy boundaries to reduce infertility stress.
Readers, how do you let go of the stress of trying to get pregnant? I find that walking in the woods out behind our house is hugely relaxing – it reminds me that life can be beautiful even without kids. There's something about deep breaths of fresh air that energize me, no matter how bad I'm feeling…

**1/2 (out of four)
Before "Arthur Christmas," the theater subjected me to TWO viewings of Justin Bieber's video for "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." So pain already was pounding my head.
But the computer-animated, 3-D "Arthur" deserves blame for increasing the throbbing. This movie does not know when to take a breath. From Aardman Animations ("Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit," "Flushed Away") and first-time feature director Sarah Smith, "Arthur Christmas" tells many jokes for adults but moves with the frantic excess of an over-caffeinated child. Or perhaps just the desire to entertain one.

TICONDEROGA - The Ticonderoga Zoning Revision Committee is currently working to make the town's zoning more pro-business.
That's the aim of local officials who are considering revisions to the Ti zoning ordinance.
"The proposed regulations will make it easier to work from home with home industries to be allowed in all districts with limitations on the size and intensity of the business based on the location," said Brandy Saxton, a consultant assisting with the project.
More types of businesses will also be allowed in many areas of the town on an appropriate scale.
The reworked law is projected to allow small stores in many areas, but large stores only in a few areas.
The Hague Road area from Moses Circle south will allow more tourism-and recreation-oriented businesses.
Zoning will also be the same on both sides of Hague Road (Route 9N). Currently it is possible to be in a different zone depending on whether a property is located on the east or west side of Hague Road.
The zoning revision committee will work on the law into spring 2010, and will prepare drafts of each section for public review and comment. To access drafts and other information, people can follow the zoning and planning board link on the town website, http://www.townofticonderoga.org, or contact Saxton at 546-7470.
A public information meeting on the zoning districts and map has been scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 11, at the Ticonderoga Community Building auditorium.
This project is funded by a Quality Communities grant from the New York State Department of State.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
Survivors beware: sometimes your very existence and adapted tactics for living in a world that wants you to die are criminal. All eyes are on Connecticut this month as people, including the state's own Governor, ask why a 16-year-old trans girl has been remanded to an adult women's prison without charges. Protestors wonder when being a traumatized trans teenager became a crime, while Connecticut's Department of Children and Families maintains that prison is the only safe place to put her.
Jane Doe's life has been nothing short of horrific, as detailed in a New York Times opinion editorial on her case (trigger warning). Since the age of five, family members passed her through a series of abusive and awful situations before she was finally taken into custody. After surviving the abuse of her family, she endured even more in a series of foster and group home placements. While dealing with endless physical and emotional trauma, Jane grappled with her gender identity, coming to the realization that she was a girl and struggling to make her voice heard within the foster care system.
Like many survivors, she started fighting back. It's a natural response to being assaulted. Yet, instead of punishing the people who were abusing her, the state chose to single Jane out, tagging her as aggressive and violence. On 8 April, she was remanded to custody on a mental health ward and put in solitary confinement.
Solitary confinement is widely regarded as a form of torture. More than that, it has direct and well-known effects on mental health. Putting a mentally unstable, struggling teen in solitary confinement is akin to lighting a stick of dynamite and being surprised when it explodes. After years of abuse, torment, and neglect, after years of having adults ignore her needs, Jane was tossed into a lockbox in the ultimate punishment for daring to exist, and daring to assert her own humanity.
"I know that I need to work on my issues and I want to, but this is not the place. I am afraid of the women here. I don't want to be around them. They yell comments to me and make fun of me when they see me," Jane wrote for the "Hartford Courant" in an impassioned plea for justice.
"I want people to understand who I am, what my life has been like and how I ended up here. What I have survived would have destroyed most people. I'm not going to let it destroy me. I can't change what has happened, but I can build a future just like every other 16-year-old."
After substantial public attention, Jane was moved out of the mental health ward and onto a "cottage" on York Prison's grounds, ostensibly allowing her to transition to a safer environment. The fact remains, though, that Jane is in prison not because she committed a crime, went to court, had a trial, and was sentenced, but because the DCF decided that was the best place to stick her. Prison is not an appropriate placement for a troubled teen, period.
The DCF claims that Jane was violent and hard to work with, endangering herself and others. Jane and her supporters dispute that, challenging the evidence provided by the DCF that she attacked people. While Jane may have fought back when assaulted, she says, her behavior was markedly different than reported by the agency. She was defending herself, and behaving in ways that are very predictable, common, and expected among victims of trauma -- you don't approach a trauma victim from behind and try to hug her without expecting her to react physically if you're well-trained in handling trauma victims, yet that's exactly what happened in one "incident" reported by DCF where she was blamed for being "aggressive."
Her case illustrates the growing criminalization of trans youth, who often find themselves running afoul of the law, particularly in the case of trans youth of color. Trans youth are profiled by police and the justice system and forced into the prison system, where they don't receive access to the physical and mental health care they may need, and are often housed with people of the opposite gender. Jane's case is particularly unjust because she was imprisoned without even being given a chance to defend herself in a court of law.
Trans children and teens are more likely to be homeless and turned out of their families, living without support networks and in potentially dangerous situations. They're also less able to access social support and help, thanks to the stigma surrounding transgender people in the United States. Jane's case is a stark illustration of the end consequences of regarding trans people as lesser and, in some cases, suspect, simply because they exist.
The United States is facing a growing mental health crisis, and it's especially difficult for young women like Jane to access care. For foster kids, it can be tough to get to stable, reliable treatment, especially if you're being shuffled between different locations and forced to rely on the limited treatment options the state will pay for. When children are experiencing severe emotional trauma, they require intense mental health services, not imprisonment -- yet, imprisonmnent and contact with the justice system is often exactly what they get. Is prison the right solution for foster kids labeled as violent? It doesn't seem like a good environment for addressing mental health problems to me.
Jane's not the only person who has been effectively imprisoned for having a mental health crisis, and having issues she needs to work on a structured, safe environment. The mental health and foster care systems in the US are such that such environments are extremely difficult to find. Jane would have no reason to trust the DCF, which repeatedly put her in placements where she was raped, molested, and assaulted, and then dumped her in prison when it decided it didn't want to deal with her anymore. Many other children and teens are facing similar situations.
Several foster families with the experience and skills to provide Jane with the support, safety, and mentoring she needs have stepped up. Yet, the state still seems to think that prison is the best placement for her, effectively saying that because she has a history of violence, she's worthless, and should be thrown into the depths of the prison system without resources or a reasonable hope of recovery.
Jane's case is being cast as a complicated one that's testing the resources of the DCF and Connecticut's policies regarding foster children, but is it? She's a young woman who needs help, not ostracization, and the longer she stays in a prison environment, the worse off she will be. While she may be accustomed to fighting to survive, the state shouldn't be putting her in the position of having to do so. Jane deserves justice, and a loving, supportive home, just like all the other trans teens out there currently struggling to live.

Bevlak's winning piece
Bevlak knocked out reigning champion Newso lastnight in Birmingham's Secret Wars semi-final at The Rainbow in Digbeth.
As decribed in a previous post Secret Wars is a street art competition spread only by word of mouth.
Having never been to one of these events before, I wasn't sure what to expect but I have to admit the combination of art, music and good company made it a throughly enjoyable night!
The old Victorian pub already home to numerous pieces of modern art and graffiti laden walls provided an inspirational setting for the battle.
What happened
In the courtyard of The Rainbow, the artists were given an hour and a half to complete their masterpieces on a huge plain white canvas using just black Edding pens and paint.
They set to work bopping to some good tunes played by the resident DJs and Rhubarb Radio.
Bevlak's style at Secret Wars is to make fun of his opponent. Hence the imagery used and the words 'OLD NEWS' and 'NEWSO SCHMEWSO' as shown above.
From the start it could be sensed that alot of the crowd were rooting for the underdog Bevlak, AKA Sam Bevington, a freelance illustrator from Bristol.
I stood and watched both artists through the cigerette smoke for the majority of the night and was amazed to see what they could produce in so little time.
Newso from Birmingham seemed to have more friends in the crowd who he looked to for support throughout the 90 minutes.
But they just didn't shout loud enough.
When it came to the final vote (which artist recieved the loudest cheers from the crowd) there was no need for the decibel reader – Bevlak was the clear winner.
Before the winner was announced, special guest Reeps One – an incredible beat boxer from London stunned the crowd. This guy put on a jaw-dropping performance and was unsurprisingly described as the best beat boxer in the world!
Bevlak will draw alongside Phil Blake for the right to be Secret Wars Champion of Birmingham 2008/2009 at the final on April 11th, be sure not to miss it!

Secret Wars in Birmingham
Posted February 26, 2009on:
Image from Flickr taken by Pete Ashton
Secret Wars is completely new to me, I only came across it today. From what I gather, it's a street art competition spread only by word of mouth hence the secret part. Well I hope they don't mind me blogging about it!
Birmingham's Secret Wars have been taking place in Digbeth at the Rainbow pub. On each night there are usually two battles and there is a prize of £1000 for the overall winner.
The final of Birmingham's Secret Wars will be on 11th april at Rainbow Warehouse and will be between the winner of the first semi-final, Phill Blake and the winner of the second still yet to take place.
Seeds and Slobodan of Rhubarb Radio are the organisers of Birmingham's rounds and covered the last battle on 21st February live online. The second semi-final is on 7th march and will be Newso v's Sam Bevlak.
The rules are as follows:
- 90 minutes on the clock
- black paint only, on white walls
- no sketches, no pencils
- invisible middle line with an artist either side
Each round is judged using a 3 point system – 2 guest judges and 1 crowd vote using a decibel reader.
All sounds very intriguing, Melonz will be there on 7th March to see what all the fuss is about – we'll keep you updated.
