CAPE CANAVERAL — Fate dealt the shuttle Columbia another crushing blow Tuesday when bad weather at emergency landing sites in Spain and Africa forced a two-day launch delay, the fifth postponement for the problem-plagued spaceplane.
Columbia must wait until 7:05 a.m. EDT Thursday for another launch attempt because of NASA rules requiring an inspection of shuttle engine fuel lines after supercold fuel was loaded and unloaded two days in a row.
The inspection is to insure that the fuel line insulation hasn`t been damaged by dramatic temperature changes.
The launch postponements Monday and Tuesday came as a hard one-two punch to the morale of the seven crew members, including U.S. Rep. Bill Nelson of Florida.
``We have a bad habit going,`` said shuttle Commander Robert ``Hoot`` Gibson.
The latest delay could mean a one- or two-day setback for the Jan. 23 launch of Challenger with New Hampshire high school teacher Christa McAuliffe aboard, said NASA shuttle chief Jesse Moore.
``I`m certainly not looking at this as a major impact on our schedule,`` but Columbia must be launched by Monday to avoid significant disruptions of upcoming flights, he said.
Columbia`s flight is the first of a record 15 shuttle missions planned for 1986.
Cloudy weather conditions played the villain Tuesday, drastically reducing visibility in Moron, Spain, and Dakar, Senegal, in west Africa. Those are the overseas sites where Columbia would land in an emergency if it were unable to reach orbit.
NASA requires seven miles of visibility, and at one point Tuesday morning visibility was only six miles at Moron and three miles at Dakar.
Clouds also obstructed visibility for a time at the Kennedy Space Center landing strip, where Columbia would land if problems developed in the first four minutes after launch.

Political Cartoon Commentary: Steven King is in the Dog House with Latinos
On Sunday, Iowa Congressman Steven King said he stood by his previous comments in May in which he compared immigrants to bird dogs, adding that "it was a compliment."
King is known as one of the most fervent proponents of hardline immigration policies. He is also known for his pointed, let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may rhetoric.
During a Sunday interview with Des Moines NBC affiliate WHO-TV, King said of his opponents: "They knew it was a compliment, they turned it into an insult because they're professional hyperventilators."
King, the vice chairman of the House immigration subcommittee, made waves when he drew parallels between attracting the best from around the world to emigrate here, and picking the best dog of a litter.
In an interview with Fox News Latino in June, King – who is running for re-election against Democrat Christine Vilsack in one of the nation's most high-profile congressional races this year -- said "the other side" again was distorting his words to demonize him in the eyes of Latinos.
In my house, we have raised really good, high-quality Labrador Pointers, we've received the pick of the litter from all over the planet. You pick the vigor, the most perky. It was the utilization of the pick of the litter. What is the pick – the alert, the frisky, that's the one you want.
If someone is insulted by that, I don't know that they belong in this country. Jesus talked about animals and compared people to animals. I'm Catholic, my bishop is my shepherd and we are his sheep.
His critics said King, a Republican, was again showing what they say are his denigrating views of immigrants.
What do you think - were his comments denigrating?

Horseman Parelli out to 'change the world'
A revolution in the way people relate to their horses was launched at a very special event at the Williamson County Ag Expo Park last weekend.
"Are you ready to change the world?" horseman Pat Parelli asked the crowd of horse lovers who flocked to Franklin from as far away as Michigan, Maryland, Arizona and Texas.
The answer was a resounding "Yes!"
"This weekend we're starting something really big," said Parelli. "This is my life's work. I'm trying to change the world: one horse, one person, one demonstration at a time. My goal is for you to become horsemen. This is a personal development program, not a quick fix."
Parelli, 55, has been getting paid to work with horses since he was 12 years old, and has been teaching other people how to get along with horses in a positive, progressive and natural way for 27 years.
His vision now is to have 100 Parelli teaching centers worldwide, staffed by graduates of the higher levels of his program.
In the last few years, he and his wife, Linda, have been presenting up to 14 free tour stops per year, trying to get the natural horsemanship message out to people all over the country.
For 2009, they have cut down to seven three-day weekend "Celebrations" in the United States, one in Australia and one in England.
At each celebration, Parelli will work for three days with a horse rescued by the Humane Society of the United States. In Franklin his new partner was "Beau," an 8-year-old Thoroughbred cross, rescued by Gallatin-based Volunteer Equine Advocates, Inc. Beau's physical recovery took many months: when VEA took him over he was so weak and emaciated he could barely walk.
"Together Pat, Linda, and HSUS are standing up to...shine a light on the tragic situation of horse neglect and abuse and to teach people a different and compassionate way to be with horses," wrote Parelli staffer Norma Vela in the event program.
Beau had been extensively handled and even ridden, but, like many horses, he had never truly accepted a human as his leader. Parelli worked with him in a long session each day, until, by the end of the third day he was on Beau's back and riding around.
Beau is now going to the Florida Parelli Center for a month or so to make sure he is ready for his new, "forever home." Numerous people have already applied to adopt Beau.
Parelli said many people thought "natural horsemanship" was only for starting colts, or for working with problem horses. In fact, it's for all horses and all kinds of riding. The important thing is always to put the relationship with the horse first. "Take the time it takes so it takes less time," is a favorite Parelli saying. In this context, it means taking time to establish a solid foundation of trust between horse and human before moving on to specialized training.
For some people the highlight of the weekend was watching Pat Parelli's sessions with Beau. Others had come to see Linda Parelli play with her two horses at liberty and take a dressage lesson on her horse Remmer from master teacher Walter Zettl.
Canadian Lauren Barwick and her mare Maile are also appearing at the Celebrations this year. Barwick and Maile won gold and silver medals competing in dressage at the Paralympic Games in Hong Kong last fall. Barwick was a top rider, planning on a career with horses, when her back was broken in a barn accident in 2000. Now she plays with her horses from a motorized scooter. In 2005 she told the Parellis about her goal of competing in Beijing at the 2008 summer Paralympics, and they have been helping her ever since.
"I knew deep down inside that my dream was accomplishable, but not in the traditional methods of riding," wrote Barwick in her blog. Watching her with Maile you can see how the horse-human bond created and nurtured by natural horsemanship has contributed to their success in competition.
All three days were special, but Friday was "a history-making day," featuring the first-ever "Savvy Spotlight," the first of a series of games and competitions Parelli is planning to launch in the upcoming months and years.
"There's nothing wrong with healthy competition as long as it honors the dignity of the horse," said Parelli, There were no losers on Friday - everyone who participated got a special ribbon. The ribbons were different colors, according to the scores given by Parelli and his panel of judges.
Four times as many people applied as could be accommodated in the Savvy Spotlight. Accompanied by music of their choice, each person had the length of one song to show what they could do with their horse in one of the four savvys: on line, at liberty, free-style (loose rein riding), and finesse (upper level riding). If the judges liked what they saw, a whinnying noise was played at the end of the song, and the music went on to song number two, and, in some cases, number three.
It was as unlike a regular horseshow as you can imagine. Spectators said they liked the way each person got a critique of their performance from Pat. They also liked the way participants weren't penalized for "mistakes," but were rewarded for showing savvy in getting themselves out of potentially awkward situations.
The Savvy Spotlight finished with a Freeform section where horsemen, singly or in groups, could show off whatever they wanted.
"I'm proud to see how far along everyone is," commented Parelli at the end of the day.

FRITZ!Box 6840 LTE Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Using a radiator control in the FRITZ!Box home network
An encrypted DECT connection (DECT ULE) is used to integrate Comet DECT into the FRITZ!Box home network. You can then use the FRITZ!Box user interface to set up an individual heating program.
Requirements / Restrictions
- To use FRITZ!DECT 300, FRITZ!OS 6.60 or later must be installed on the FRITZ!Box.
- To use FRITZ!DECT 301, FRITZ!OS 6.83 or later must be installed on the FRITZ!Box.
- The radiator control is mounted on the radiator valve and has been adapted. You can find information on mounting and adapting it in the manual.
- A maximum of twelve radiator controls can be registered with the FRITZ!Box.
Note:The configuration procedure and notes on functions given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for your FRITZ!Box.
1 Establishing a DECT connection
- Push the "DECT" button on the FRITZ!Box and hold it down until the "DECT" or "Info" LED on the FRITZ!Box begins to flash.
- Push the "MENU" button on the radiator control within 2 minutes.
- Select the menu item "FUNK" or "Anmeldung" on the radiator control and then push the "OK" button.
- The message "Login was successful" is shown in the display of FRITZ!DECT 301.
- If you have a FRITZ!DECT 300 or Comet DECT, wait until "SUCH" flashes in the display and then push the "OK" button.
The DECT connection is established as soon as the "Radio link" icon in the display of the radiator control lights up continuously.
2 Setting up the radiator control
- Click "Home Network" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Smart Home" in the "Home Network" menu.
- If available, select the option "All smart home devices" in the drop-down list "viewing".
- Click the button (Edit) for the respective device.
- Configure the desired settings.
- Click "OK" to save the settings.
Since the radiator control functions according to the DECT ULE (Ultra Low Energy) standard, it communicates with the FRITZ!Box at greater intervals to save energy and minimize DECT radiation. As a result, it may take up to 15 minutes for the settings to be transferred to the radiator control. It may even take up to 60 minutes during vacation switching and the phase when the radiator is turned off. By pushing any button on the radiator control, you can cause the settings to be transmitted immediately.

And just that fast, he's back!!Author: kingster
It's true! Matty Beery does it again. Just like all the times he's threatened to give up his season tix, then you find out he never had season tix. Or a week later he forgets that he swore to never go to the game in his season tix then writes about the game he's going to tonight in his season tix. He's gonna quit after 10,000 posts, now he's up to 10,287. He's going to buy EVERYONE drinks! He's not going to dance unless they give him free tickets, but he dances anyhow. Then he retires, then he unretires. I think he just gets bored, so he makes shit up. This gig as a fake hockey insider is perfect, because the internet has so thoroughly ruined journalism and sports reporting that any dipshit who dances during time outs for attention .. he can have make up anything he wants!
Anyway, CBGB/DANCINGBOY/MATTYBEERY lost his gig as the head King blogger at the Eklund liar site. He then quit. He then set up his own blog. He has since (and we are talking 24 hours!) apologized, promised to be nice and has gone back on his word, once again. Thankfully we can now be entertained by a guy who knows nothing about hockey. He can make up fake rumors, use the grammar and punctuation of a 9th grader and constantly name drop. It'll be great.
Can you imagine the email?
Dear Eklund,
I'm so sorry. This will never happen again. I recognize I crossed the line and I promise to not be so offensive in the future. May I please have my unpaid job back?

Electronic Arts shut down its Playfish online Facebook games in 2014 due to significantly decreased player volume compared to initial and expected numbers, reports CNBC. While some Playfish games once had millions of players, player numbers dropped well below 1 million before EA shut the games down.
Electronic Arts bought Playfish in 2009 for $300 million during the height of Facebook-game speculation, fueled by the success of companies such as Zynga. Other major corporations also made a number of high-priced acquisitions of social-gaming companies during this period, including Disney's $563 million purchase of Playdom and EA's own purchase of PopCap Games for $750 million.
Some commentators consider these purchases to be signs of a social-gaming bubble around that time. A large portion of social gaming migrated to cellphones from Facebook in the years following 2009. While one Playfish game, Sims Social, once had 10 million active users, only 500,000 were playing by the time it was shut down. Additionally, commentators considered the launch of SimCity for Facebook in 2012 to be largely unsuccessful, despite high expectations and a history of successful SimCity games.
EA retains a presence in Facebook gaming through its ownership of PopCap games, which is responsible for popular games such as Bejewelled and Peggle. PopCap also ports many of its games to cellphone platforms.

Beloit Interim Police Chief David Zibolski will be staying around for at least a little while after the city of Green Bay selected Andrew Smith as its next chief of police.
Zibolski had been one of three finalists for the job. Zibolaski has made no secret of his desire to become a police chief. He said last month that he would be interested in a permanent job in Beloit should the job open up.
Zibolski was hired as interim chief in June, after Chief Norm Jacobs and Deputy Chief Tom Dunkin were placed on administrative leave.
The fate of Jacobs and Dunkin now is in the hands of Beloit's Police and Fire Commission.
Smith, according to the Green Bay Press Gazette, spent nearly three decades with the Los Angeles Police Department but has strong ties to Wisconsin. He was born in Waukesha and raised in Iron Mountain, Michigan.

We received quite a story in this morning's email – with pictures. It was from Sarah Boynton, an experienced kayaker who has owned her Innova Swing for just a month. It read:
You may have seen the news stories across the nation since Saturday. I had an incident with a gator.
I wanted to thank you because as far as I'm concerned, being in an inflatable saved me from potential injury. I think if a gator had hit a hard shell kayak with as much force as it hit my Swing, I would have been tipped into water.
As it was, the other 2 air chambers stayed completely inflated and after the darn gator was done chewing and spinning around with its mouth full of deflated rubber, I was able to paddle quite a distance away and call for help.
Will miss my little yak, was fun for the month that I had it!
Thank you again.
We think you'll be happy to know that in cooperation with Adventure Times Kayaks, the retailer where Sarah purchased her Innova Swing, we will be replacing the partially eaten boat (despite the fact that attacks by carnivorous predators are not covered by our warranty).

QNAP TS-459U-RP Turbo NAS Review
Before undertaking the review, I studied the product pages for the QNAP TS-459U-RP, and still did not expect to see the sheer number of settings and options available. At times, I was pleasantly surprised to see handy unique features like ISO mounting, and at other times I was taken aback by advanced multimedia serving abilities like the UPnP Media Server and IceStation Internet Radio streaming server. I was fully expecting the NAS to cover all the corporate and web server needs, and suspected that QNAP would include the same features as the line of NAS products aimed more towards the home/business market, but I am still in awe of the TS-459U-RP's ability to seemingly do everything. Additional and improved functionality is made possible through the regular firmware updates and QPKG add-on packages, which are listed in the live web feed on the WebUI home page.
The QNAP WebUI is very well presented and laid out, with great navigation, and a fully comprehensible interface that provides all the information and feedback you could possibly need to know. It is made easier still with many step-by-step wizards to guide you through the various aspects of setup and configuration. I would go as far to say that you could use the NAS without a manual if you were at least slightly familiar with network and disk configurations.
As well as the selection of RAID configurations, the TS-459U-RP has a number of fail-safes to ensure data integrity. These include backup to external USB storage and remote servers, redundant power supplies, and UPS-triggered controlled shutdowns over the network.
The price may be cost-prohibitive for domestic users, but this NAS is really targeted to the business markets. I think the features of the TS-459U-RP reflect this, and most home users would not really use enough of the options to justify the price. Conversely, the low-power design could quite quickly pay for itself in terms of savings on the electricity bill when compared to a computer or general-use server running 24/7. With its ability to serve multimedia to a wide range of devices including the iPhone, PSP, Xbox, etc., the TS-459U-RP could well be a centralised media server in a modern home with a variety of electronic devices.
For its intended market, I think the TS-459U-RP would integrate very well into existing network infrastructures, and could also act as the main data server for new businesses, as it can be expanded internally (hard drives), externally (USB/eSATA), and remotely (network shares, iSCSI). QNAP's Website FAQs, Wiki pages, and forums, prove to be rich sources of information when you need help, in addition to the direct support available via the online web form, email, Skype, MSN, and of course, telephone. The TS-459U-RP has unique features that are not available from any other manufacture. The sheer number of features, consistent high performance, and advanced user interface mean the shortcomings of the PC-based applications are not an issue; so I really have to give this product the highest award possible
- Consistent, high performance, especially RAID-5 writes
- Low power consumption during normal operation, with options for further power saving
- Large number of features, many of which cannot be found on competing NAS products
- Very well presented, comprehensible WebUI, with plenty of live-update information/feedback and easy-to-use wizards
- Caters for home and server markets, in terms of features, network protocols and file systems
- JBOD, RAID 0/1/5/6/5+hot-spare/6+hot-spare support
- Redundancy of power, and support for networked control of UPS devices
- Portal folders (remote shares) and virtual disks (remote iSCSI) make the NAS a top-level centralised network storage server with the ability to serve disk capacities far beyond its internal disks
- External USB sharing and backup simplify storage expansion and backups of the internal disks
- Regular firmware and add-on package (QPKG) updates provide improved performance and additional functions and embedded applications
- Accompanying PC applications are somewhat functionally limited, with a basic user interface

Hi there,
My first post in the Automotive section, I have also posted in the Pico technology section regarding a suitable scope / data logger for starting current and charging current data logging (amongst other channels / temp / voltages).
My question here is regarding the TA 167 Current clamp which I have just purchased, it is the first time I have used a current clamp so this post is probably a mixture of me learning to use it and my lack of understanding how a vehicle charging system works....
OK, So I attached the clamp to the negative cable with the +ve sign on the clamp pointing to the negative terminal (after zeroing it)
Clamp set on 2000A range
I am using a Fluke 179 multimeter (via a Fluke BP880 BNC to 4mm adapter) set to mV DC
I get an Ignition on reading of +6 mV = 6 Amps
I switch the HRW ON and get +22.5 mV = 22.5 Amps total (16.5 Amps for the HRW alone)
I switch the HRW OFF and turn the heated seat ON and get - +12 mV = 12 Amps total (6 Amps for the heated seat alone)
I repeat this for various items lights etc just to get a feel for the clamp and the various current draws...
I then set the Fluke to MIN MAX mode and carry out a few vehicle starts which show the MAX starting current to be about 340 Amps (+340 mV)
So all seems fairly logical...
Whilst the vehicle is running (still on the 2000A clamp setting) the multimeter shows -16 mV = -16 Amps (No accessories are switched on)
I then run through a similar process of switching the HRW, Lights, AC Unit, Heated seats ON and OFF but I am surprised to see that the values showing on the multimeter hardly change from the initial -16 mV reading that I got when nothing is switched ON, at most it goes down to -13 mV = -13 Amps with a few things switched ON.
Am I just seeing the alternator varying its output to keep a consistent charge on the battery (with -16 Amps) and this is entirely normal or am I doing something incorrectly?
Sorry if this turns out to be more an Automotive charging systems lesson than about the clamp itself, I just want to make sure I understand what's going on before I progress on to trying to datalog these signals

The Large Scale Trains Page
by George Schreyer
Ed.: This is an archived version of the Large Scale Trains Page up through September 19, 2002. Posts from September 19, 2002 up to December 28, 2011 can be found at www.girr.org/girr/
This site is primarily devoted to Large Scale model trains although several other railroad related topics have crept in. Since I can't share my railroad and railroad experiences with very many people in person, I will instead virtually share my humble railroad through the magic of the Internet. Grab a beer, pull up a chair and plan to stay awhile, there are many hours worth of reading available here.
Large scale model trains are those that run on #1 gauge (45 mm) track. The actual scale can vary from 1:13.5 for trains that represent 2' gauge prototypes to 1:32 for those that represent standard gauge prototypes. The popular designation of "G" scale falls into this more general "Large Scale" category.

Brought to you by the U.S. Air Force.
With all the videogames that are released each and every month, it can be quite a difficult task to decide which title to spend your hard-earned money on. Granted you could go by our review scores alone and weed through the long list of names to find something that scored high or low, but what if you had somewhere else to turn?
Rather than wait until the end of the year like for our big award blowout, your incredibly masculine friends at IGN.com have decided to employ a monthly tribute to the weeks that were. We're resolved to illustrate to our readers what we thought was the very best game for each system over the past month, and tell you the reason why.
While some of us often chime in with our comments at the end of reviews, for the most part, the reviews on IGN are primarily written by one editor; in this feature we get all of the editors on a particular channel to vote for our Game of the Month. What better way to represent your channel than to speak your mind all at once?
How does it work? Simple. Any game released in the past month is eligible for the award and is taken through a battery of tests by every editor on that particular channel. After we've finished evaluating each game that comes down the pipeline, we put our heads together and decide on a single "best of" winner that's worthy of the title "IGN Game of the Month". Pretty straightforward, don't you think?
Now that we have the guidelines out of the way, let's move on and congratulate this month's winner...
|Why We Picked It: After the high standards set last year by Nippon Ichi's Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, we were a bit apprehensive as to how the team's previous strategy effort La Pucelle: Tactics would hold up almost a year later. The good news of course, is that it held up incredibly well; easily outperforming everything else in the month of May. The bad news, however, is that the game's replayablity and difficulty level don't quite compare to Hour of Darkness. But then again, there are few other games that can claim that feat anyway -- so don't be fooled into thinking that La Pucelle isn't a worthy strategy game. It more than fits the bill. Comparisons aside, La Pucelle offers one of the richest storylines we've seen this side of Ogre Battle; with equal parts characterization and personality to match. What stands out most about Tactics, however, is its depth of its strategy and its sheer amount of entertainment. Capturing monsters and successfully manipulating each stage's Dark Portals are a heck of lot more engrossing than you'd first think, and the quirky old-school atmosphere and extra gameplay features (like the bartering system) are only icing on the cake. Any way you look at it, La Pucelle: Tactics is a must own for strategy and RPG fans alike.

Runner-Up Samurai Warriors Developed by Omega Force Published by KOEI Why We Picked It: KOEI's first Japanese-themed actioner based on the Dynasty Warriors engine keeps the tradition going with some strong hack and slash potatoes. The addition of new RPG-like options and a stronger emphasis on the game's characters was a good move too, and the improved graphics and faster pace makes Samurai Warriors worth every bit of your fifty bucks. Admittedly, we wish the game offered as many characters and A.I. routines as the Dynasty series does, and the online scoreboard tease had us wishing for Internet gameplay in future editions. But even with our wish list not entirely filled, we still can't help ourselves from wanting to play it. Good stuff.
Other Games Worth Noting In May:
Red Dead Revolver
Shrek 2
Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain
UEFA Euro 2004
Can you believe that we've already completed five full months this year with only seven more to go? There's plenty of time left to experience a terrific lineup of PlayStation 2 games too, so don't think that it stops here. We'd like to extend our congratulations once again to Nippon Ichi, Mastiff, and all the other creators involved with this month's excellent games. We'll see you again in 30 for another installment of Game of the Month.

What about the Jews, Arabs, and Mediterraneans? Are they a new race or an archaic race?
Arabs are a very old race. If you go back 12,000 YBP in Europe, the skulls and genes look like Arabs. So Arabs could be seen as proto-Whites or proto-Europeans. You can make a good case that Arabs are ancient Caucasoids.
Jews are very new. They have only been around for ~3,000 years. Keep in mind that Jews are more or less the same race as the Kurds, Turks and Armenians.
Meds are a very old race. In the maximal view of the Med race, they go back quite some time. Meds are a much older race than Nordics.
There are some Berber groups that seem to be very ancient Caucasoids, in particular the Mozabites, who have very odd phenotypes. They also show up on a lot of Caucasoid gene charts.
Some other possible ancient Caucasoids that show up on these charts are Orcadian Scots and Uyghurs. In Europe, Basques and Sardinians are quite old. But the Sami are probably the oldest race in Europe. They may be the ancient proto-Whites or proto-Europeans or what is left of them. They go back 11,000 YBP. The Sami also show a close relationship with Berbers which implies that the Berbers might also be the remains of ancient Europeans.
I have always thought that some of the South Indians were ancient Whites. The Dravidians have odd phenotypes but the skulls are mostly Caucasoid and they show up Caucasoid on most gene charts. They seem to have some from the Iranian or Near East region long ago, which adds weight to the idea that they are ancient Caucasoids.
A paper that reviewed the history of the Caucasoid race from 42,000 YBP showed repeated mass movements of Caucasoids between North Africa, the Levant, the Caucasus and India, so you can make a good case that these lands are the homelands of the ancient Caucasoids from which the race was birthed.

Post Edited (AronMica) : 5/18/2007 5:17:04 PM (GMT-6)
Hi Aron. My understanding is that the answer to your first question can be "Yes". My understanding is that if they are just doing the monospot test, it won't tell you a whole lot. Also if they tested for EBV too early, it might not show up. One of our members, Orion, suffered for almost a year and they initially ran all the mono and ebv tests which showed negative, but when re-tested it showed he did have EBV in the past. Here's a pretty good online article I found about it: http://https://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/common/standard/transform.jsp?requestURI=/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/epstein-barr_virus_test.jsp
Question number 2 I think can also be true - at least it was for me. THe first one to two years after I had mono I got strep throat all the time (I'd never had it before in my life) and seemed to get sick constantly.
Question number 3 I can't answer because I really don't know and haven't read anything about it.
I really hope your doctor will run the labs to check for past ebv.
Let me know if there are other questions you have. Take care

By the fourth or fifth month of approaching parenthood you get used to being called ''Big Momma.'' By the time the seventh month rolls into view you're even able to laugh along with the jokesters who want to know how many watermelon seeds you've swallowed lately.
Other people's comments aren't so difficult to deal with. It's your own perceptions of changing proportions that are hard to avoid.
The first awakening probably came the Saturday I discovered I'd outgrown my husband's cast-off jeans - the pair he stopped wearing the summer he lost 20 pounds. Those pants had become a comfortable weekend refuge over a number of months and somehow made me feel at home with the rest of the loosely attired crowd down at the town dump.
I began making the rounds of stylish maternity boutiques in the area, but after spending several weekends in dressing rooms, trying on appliqued tents with designer labels like ''Lady in Waiting'' and ''Meanwhile Mixables,'' I only felt less svelte. I retreated to our attic to dig through the piles of clothing that had accumulated over the years and finally came up with a pair of gray sweat pants left over from my husband's physical education courses in college. Minus the original waist drawstring, they were just the right fit, which was no fit at all. Since then, I've splurged on two more pairs of extra larges from the Army & Navy store, one in camouflage green for house chores, and another in slightly nattier navy blue that my husband likes to refer to as my ''dress sweats.''
The change in size can't compare with the change in center of gravity, however. Practically overnight, I've developed an odd gait reminiscent of a camel trying out its first pair of roller skates. To add to the disorientation, other familiar landmarks have unaccountably taken on new dimensions. Doorways and hallways are suddenly narrower, and I've begun to approach revolving doors with the practiced eye of an Olympian lining up for a record-breaking broad jump.
The only embarrassing moment so far came the morning I held up the departure of a commuter airline shuttle while the stewardess folded back several seats so I could make my way down the aisle. Then there was the afternoon when I began talking to myself. Actually, I was addressing the budding young athlete-in-residence who'd recently taken up indoor rugby, but no one else in the crowded elevator knew that. Just as the other conversations reached an unexpected lull, I heard myself whispering a stern ''Now cut that out!'' The rest of the ride was so quiet you could have heard a baby blush.
Stunned silence is only one of the responses I've experienced in the past few months, however. More surprising are the offers of seats on crowded subways and buses. Surprising because they invariably come from women whose husbands tend to back out of doors rather than hold them open for me, perhaps because they think the condition may be catching.
Thankfully, there's some comfort to be found in numbers. While we were waiting for our names to be called the other night in a favorite restaurant, we counted seven mothers-to-be leaving the lobby in a period of ten minutes.
''Parenthood,'' my husband sighed when we were finally seated at our table. ''I guess it grows on you.''

My niece called last night, she has been doing part time catering , and asked if I knew of a way to slice cucumbers in advance of an event to keep them from turning slimy.
She had been slicing them like on Thursday or Friday night for an event on the weekend. She says that she slices them, puts them in zip lock bags but by the time the weekend rolls around they "feel" slimy.
I don't have a clue, but if anyone has any ideas about this, I would appreciate telling me.
Maybe, she needs to take them from the bag and rinse well, pat dry and proceed to the event?

Keeping Cucumbers from turning slimy when sliced
My niece called last night, she has been doing part time catering , and asked if I knew of a way to slice cucumbers in advance of an event to keep them from turning slimy.
I haven't really tested this with sliced cucumbers, but here's something I did recently that might be worth a try... I had several larger cukes earlier this week that I peeled, seeded, and diced up, thinking that we could use them in a salad. They were't as crispy as I'd have liked, so I decided to put them in an ice brine (a technique I learned from Linda Z's recipes in Joy of Pickling).
I had, hmm, maybe 4 cups of chopped cukes, added a heaping tablespoon of kosher salt, then dumped in a couple handfuls of ice cubes. After maybe 2 hours, I drained, rinsed, drained again and put them in the fridge. We've been munching on them the past several days (I'm eating some right now, in fact, with bruschetta spooned over them), and so far I havne't been noticing any sliminess. They are slightly salty from the brine... in fact, I'll bet the salt inhibits any bacteria that might cause that slimy feel.
The only other things I can think of is not to do them in advance like that... I know there must be so many last-minute preparations already, but if she's got a mandoline it only takes a couple of minutes to whiz through a whole pile of cucumbers.
Thanks, I will pass this along to her.
i have placed slicerd cukes on a dish and placed them uncovered in the fridge and have eaten them for several days without any slime on them.
So maybe it's the baggies that are the problem? I've sliced and bagged cukes and other veggies the night before a gathering, never noticed a problem... but I generally poke a couple of holes (with a fork) in any baggie I'm using for veggies, seems to help the same way the vent does on my fancy/pricey tupperware veggie keeper.
whenever i use one of those zip lock bags i always press all the air out before putting it in the fridge.
Jill is right - poking holes is the way to go. Also, rather than just putting them in the ziploc bags, have her wrap the sliced cukes in slightly moist paper towels and then put them in the forked bags. The very slightly moist paper towels will wick away the excess moisture that the pre-cut cukes produce. The air flow in the forked bags will alleviate condensation which creates the slime.
Thanks, Dea! I'm going to start using the paper towels. I put them around half a cut pepper on on the end of a half-sliced cuke before putting it back in the crisper (secured with a rubber band), but somehow I never thought of using them inside a bag.
BTW, a number of years ago the baggie folks marketed veggie bags, which had teeny holes for ventilation, but they must not have caught on. They worked, though!
I always put my cut cukes in dry paper towels and they wick the moisture out and they stay crisp for days........well until we eat them but some times it can be 3 maybe 4 days.
I do this especially in the winter time with boughten seedless cukes. They almost taste homegrown.
Does anyone have tips for keeping uncut cukes fresh?
Good question! I just keep them in the fridge in the chill section. What do you all do?
Same trick with the plastic bags -- put a few fork holes in them. I also have a fancy tupperware container with a little vent for keeping veggies fresh, and it really works well (on basil, peppers, lettuce, cukes, etc)... but I probably wouldn't have "shelled out" for it if I weren't at a friend's tupperware party!

I edited the video together (as it was split up due to using 3 tapes to get it all) and exported it as a Quicktime Movie leaving me with a file a little over 25 GB. iDVD couldn't compress it down enough to burn onto a 4.7 GB DVD and so I tried to use a file conversion using Quicktime Pro to change it into a MPEG2 file. This is where I am stuck, I now have 3 files on my desktop, a .m2v file, an .aif file and a folder labeled "PAR" and the contents of it, which are labeled .m2v.par, looks like a project file of DVD Studio Pro (a program in which I can not figure out how to use). Any ideas on what I can do (outside of taking a crash course on DVD Studio Pro)? I'd rather not buy any other programs because I really can't afford them.

It's time to get hooked on a new feeling -- the "Guardians" band is back together! Yesterday, Marvel Studios announced the start of principal photography for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," which has a release date of May 5, 2017.
Vol. 2 brings back the usual suspects -- including writer/director James Gunn, Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, and Michael Rooker as Yondu -- with the film now shooting at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta.
Here's the basic plot synopsis: "Set to the all-new sonic backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' continues the team's adventures as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill's true parentage." Maybe we should keep an eye on the new cast members for hints on that. Marvel announced that Kurt Russell, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, and Chris Sullivan were joining the cast.
James Gunn shared the new cast scoop, and Marvel's first teaser photo, in a "stoked" Facebook post:
By the way, James Gunn also ranted about Hollywood misunderstanding the lessons of "Deadpool," so read his blast on that, if you haven't already. The guy is passionate, and he previously lashed out at rumors floating around about Peter Quill's father.
Back in November, Vin Diesel gushed about the Vol. 2 script, which he had just received along with a CD called "Awesome Mix Vol. 2":
"I can see why my son is so excited about this. James Gunn is such a great writer. I read the script and I go, you're a great director and you're this good a writer too? No wonder Marvel is so excited about what you do. ... It's one of those page-turners, you cannot put the script down."
Are you excited to see this sequel next year? Willing to risk James Gunn's wrath with speculation on Peter Quill's parentage?

China's Communist Party Mulls New Anti-graft Rules
MarketWatch has more on the highly secretive CCP plenum taking place this week:
An annual gathering of China's Communist Party taking place this week may produce new government transparency rules and anti-corruption guidelines, party watchers said.
The plenum session of the party's Central Committee, which brings together 200 top members in closed-door meetings, is expected to discuss such rules against official misuse of power to help quell rising public discontent.
"Tough rules might be passed for the declaration of assets by officials," said Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts in a research note. "The integrity of the ruling [Communist Party of China] and the government should be the key for China's growth in the medium to long term."
Merrill analysts also said they expect little in the way of substantive fiscal or monetary policy change at this week's meeting, ahead of the celebrations Oct. 1 to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

(Goyito and Kim Winslow: One sword-swallower short of a freak-show. / Photo via Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports)
Seems like it's been a while since we've had a good-old-fashioned staph outbreak in the world of MMA. The latest victim of the nasty bacterial infection is Erik "Goyito" Perez, the bantamweight up-and-comer who was slated to face TUF 14 vet Johnny Bedford on the UFC 159: Jones vs. Sonnen prelims this Saturday in Newark. Perez, who holds a 3-0 UFC record with all wins by first-round stoppage, was hospitalized over the weekend with a severe staph infection in his leg. No word yet on a timetable for Perez's return; let's just hope his infection hasn't reached Randleman or McFedries levels of grossness.
Replacing Perez on less than a week's notice is Team Alpha Male's Bryan Caraway, who's coming off a split-decision loss to Takeya Mizugaki at UFC on FUEL 8 in March. Miesha's boyfriend will need to come correct against Bedford, who's officially 2-0 in the UFC with both wins by KO/TKO. So will Caraway follow in the footsteps of his teammates' recent success, thanks to the addition of striking coach Duane Ludwig? And will you care enough to watch it?

terroir | tribeca
celebrates the Mont Ventoux stage of the Tour de France (edition #103).
By consuming wines from the Southern Rhône Valley*, of course:
(Côtes du Rhône, Saladin, 2012 / Ventoux, des Anges, 2012 / Cairanne, Alary, 2014 / Gigondas, Saint-Damien, 2013)
*Note of importance: Mont Ventoux is located in the Southern Rhône Valley…the area rose to wine fame
during the Babylonian Captivity of the Papacy.
Because it is also La Fête Nationale, aka Bastille Day
Okay, but really, why?
Because on this day, the riders will begin their day with oatmeal / a cup of coffee /
a 24 oz. steak / a plate of pasta / the knowledge that history is repeating itself with a monstrous stage,
of epic proportions and epic length (a total of 184km).
In the first running of the Tour in 1903,there were only six stages but the average length was 404km. The winner, Maurice Garin, spent roughly 16 hours on his bike for each stage of the race (holy saddle sores!).
This year's monumental stage will allow the riders a small taste of what the Tour was like in its infancy.
Because Le Mont Ventoux ne tolère pas le surrégime.
Because Mont Ventoux is a bald mountain, as the crest was entirely stripped of trees in the 17th century to supply wood to shipbuilders in Toulon. In addition, the ravages of pigs searching for acorns, sheep and goats grazing, and man's need for firewood and homebuilding materials further denuded the land. From a distance, this outcropping of Mother Earth looks snow-covered but is actually the exposed limestone devoid of any vegetation. This appearance is amplified by the fact that no other mountain of equal footing is anywhere near it…it is literally in the middle of the bustling region while the other mountains of France are where they should be: with the other goddamn mountains on the fringes. If you want to visit a moonscape in France, this is the place.
Mont Ventoux Facts:
The Giant of Provence rises 6300 feet. Venteux means windy in French and the wind whips across this mountain with the same vigor that Cristiano Ronaldo inspires his team…from the sidelines (the wind blows at 56+mph over 240 days of the year…on a related note: no resident of Mont Ventoux has ever won the World Kite Flying Championship). This mountain stage was first introduced in 1951. The journey to the top of Bald Mountain runs for 21.5km, rising over 5300 feet at an average gradient of 7.6% (over the final ¾ of the climb, the gradient is actually 8.9% AND you have hurricane force winds trying to throw you off the bike). The fastest man to the summit on a bike was Iban Mayo in 2004 with a time of 55 minutes. In 1875, the flora / fauna devastation of the mountain began to be reversed with a massive replanting effort, especially of cedars and pine trees. The top of the mountain, however, remains completely bare save for a 150ft telecommunication tower.

What is wrong with this world? I know I am not the only person who asks this question frequently. Lately I have been watching the news more than usual but all they seem to discuss is negative things (people dying, war, hate, homicide, robbing, etc.). I mean, you watch these things and think "It's no wonder why people are alcoholics and drug addicts nowadays." Look at the world in its chaotic state! What will people do when drugs and other foreign substances are not enough to cope with the pain? Well, I believe I have a solution. I believe that you should hug at least seven people every day.
This is something that I believe strongly in because it works. Have you ever just had a horrible day where nothing is going right and then all of sudden, someone approaches you with the words, "I love you" followed by a firm embrace full of compassion? I believe that when you recieve something as reassuring as a hug, you will begin to feel hopeful and ready for whatever life throws at you. But, in order to keep this momentum of hopefulness going, we should give AND recieve, at least, seven hugs each day. To you this may sound like an odd and dismissive belief but I have observed and experienced it numerous times.
You know those days when nothing seems to be going right? Yeah I was having one of those days not too long ago. I was late to school, my cousin got in a wreck, my phone was taken up by a teacher, I forgot a homework assignment and I had a project that night. I wanted to scream, "Forget education man, I'm living in a box and hunting for food!" Just when I was about to yell at the world, a friend came up to me, gave me a hug, smiled and said, "Hey Claire Bear, I love you and we really need to hang out." As soon as their arms wrapped around my body, I felt relaxed and an instant relief that let me know that people do care about me. I recieved about eight more hugs that day and each one meant even more than the last one.
I cannot fully explain the feeling that a hug gives you but I know they help more than you may think. Hugs are free so why not take one? This is my theory; This is my belief.

Hemorrhoids Channel

Were you looking for information about Hemorrhoids? Hemmeroids is a common misspelling of hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids are common colon problems that affect both men and women equally. They can be internal (inside the anus) or external (under the skin around the anus), and occur when the veins around the anus or lower rectum become swollen and inflamed.
Roughly half of the population has hemorrhoids by age 50. They are particularly common among pregnant women because of hormonal changes and the pressure of the fetus in the abdomen. Hemorrhoids are often caused by straining during stool movement; other factors that can lead to this condition include aging, chronic constipation or diarrhea, and anal intercourse.
A few ways to prevent hemorrhoids include emptying your bowels as soon as possible after the urge occurs and keeping stools soft by increasing fiber in the diet and exercising so that they pass easily.
If these methods fail to improve symptoms, surgery may be required. This option may be suggested when the hemorrhoids are extremely painful, bleed repeatedly, or are prolapsed.
(Click Hemorrhoids to learn more, including how long symptoms can last and specific procedures a doctor may use to diagnose them. You can also click any of the links in the box to the right for specific information.)

A letter from Former DNC Member Luchelle stevens
DNC Member–
My name is Luchelle Stevens and I am a former DNC committeewoman from Minnesota and a labor organizer. I have spent most of my life in Democratic politics inspired by leaders like Paul Wellstone, Al Franken and Keith Ellison.
On November 6, 2012, I saw first hand the power that one voice can carry at shaping a narrative and inspiring elected officials, uncoordinated and coordinated organizations, organizers and millions of voters to protect their access to the ballot box.
This story starts earlier. In 2010, Republicans won complete control of the MN state legislature for the first time in 40 years and began to advance one of the strictest voter ID laws in the country. The Governor, a Democrat, vetoed the measure.
In Minnesota, legislators can pass constitutional amendment ballot measures by simple majority without it ever touching the desk of the Governor. So in 2012, the legislature took the unusual step of approving two constitutional amendments and placed them before voters on the November 6th ballot, knowing the governor cannot veto a constitutional amendment.
The first limited the definition of marriage to a man and a woman. The second would have been the most restrictive voter ID law ever passed.
A poll was done shortly after both amendments passed. More than eighty percent of Minnesotans said they would support the voter ID law. This was truly staggering. Organizations and elected officials came together to discuss the strategy and there emerged a consensus: we should raise money for the legal battle because we can't win this at the ballot box.
There was one large and vocal dissenter: Keith Ellison. As many have said since (I wasn't in the room), a passionate discussion broke out with Keith defending the need to go door-to-door, neighbor-to-neighbor to talk about the importance of access to the ballot box.
While others were silent on the voter ID amendment, Keith and his team brought on organizers in the off-year to start canvassing around this issue. They were holding weekly and monthly calls with partners and organizations who would listen and they pushed the idea that this amendment could be defeated. In his district, Keith organized coffee clatch on weekend mornings, pizza and politics discussions in the evening, movies, forums and went church to church, senior home to senior home, dorm room to dorm room to talk to those who would be impacted the most.
Little more than money for staff, pizza and rental facilities had been spent in the first several months to organize opposition to this disastrous bill while other organizations sat on the sidelines or were too focused on the legislative session to organize.
Keith would reach out to colleagues who served in office, community leaders, and organization leaders. He would talk about what his campaign was doing to defeat the amendment and what his official office was doing to elevate the discussion of voting rights. More than six months after passage, another poll was conducted and saw approval of the Voter ID amendment drop from 80 to 65 percent.
Allies saw that the organized effort was working. They knew that if they formed a coalition as strong as those working on the marriage amendment, they could defeat the Voter ID amendment. I was proud to be asked by that coalition to come back and run the Our Vote Our Future Campaign built more than a year after the amendment passed the legislature to be put on the ballot.
Keith's campaign never let up. They organized around defeating both amendments. That year, his team made more than 1.9 million canvassing attempts. They had hundreds of press interviews around the state. They threw a sold out hip-hop concert at First Avenue in Minneapolis to get young people registered and pledging to vote no. They built a faith outreach program, disability outreach program and had an apartment program and identified every apartment unit over 5 in the district and knocked those doors. They spent so much money on pizza for volunteers they could have probably opened a franchise.
On Election Day, roughly 53% of Minnesotans rejected the harshest Voter ID law in the country. 1.5 million people. Thousands of volunteers. Dozens of organizations and staff and even a little budget for TV helped defeat it. It was a collaboration, a team effort and something for all Minnesotans to be proud of.
But, it wouldn't have been possible without the early work, leadership and vision of Keith. His commitment to organizing around our values, doing that work 365 days a year and investing in grassroots organizing led to the defeat of this awful amendment.
In fact, since coming to office, Keith has boosted turnout from 150,000 votes in a presidential year to more than 260,000. That helps down ballot races. In 2008, Senator Al Franken won by only 312 votes. But in 2014, because of increased turnout efforts, he won by 200,000 votes. In 2010, Mark Dayton was elected in 2010 by 10,000 votes. When he came up for reelection in 2014, he won by 100,000 votes.
We shouldn't undermine or undervalue the work of other Democrats in the state and their ability to run effective, grassroots based campaigns. But it is clear that Keith's effort to organize his district has lead to big victories that can be translated across this country.
