One of the points Rush made as he analyzed Obama's presser on his Friday show, was the odd fact neither Obama nor the reporters brought up the union battle in Wisconsin , which meant that polling was favoring the Republicans.
RUSH: All right. It's official. There were no questions on Wisconsin asked of the regime at the press conference today. Now, come on, folks, please. It's only been the rallying cry of the Democrat Party. We've only had Obama joining the debate saying we shouldn't vilify or denigrate public sector union people, they're our neighbors and so forth. He got involved. It's his website, Organizing for America, that organized all of the spittle-flecked protesters that were out there. Not one question. Not one statement made by Obama. Again, let me tell you what this means. I'll explain it by doing it the opposite way. Had there been questions and had there been answers, had Obama made a statement, it would have meant that the polling data was clearly on his side, that the Republicans were really taking it in the shorts in the polls, and that it was a golden opportunity to hammer this whole business of destroying collective bargaining rights for unions.
If they had polling data that suggests that the Democrats won big in this thing that would have been 90% of the content of this presser. And it didn't even come up. This is Waterloo. This is Obama's army defeated at Waterloo. Napoleon didn't have a press conference either after Waterloo. They must be quaking in their boots over the polling data out of Wisconsin, not just in Wisconsin but around the country on this. Don't doubt me. Snerdley, do not doubt me on this. If it were otherwise, they would have been beating their chests like Tarzan. Obama would have been out there trying to Jane and Cheetah and they'd be having a party swinging vine to vine to vine, but no, they can't even bring it up.
"Do not doubt me!", he bellowed.
Well, I doubted… the polls I had been seeing looked bleak for Republicans.
Late Friday night, a new poll was released, thank you Gateway Pundit, (the man never sleeps):
66%, or two of every three, swing voters support Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R-WI) in the latest national poll conducted by the Free Enterprise Nation.
PR Newswire reported, via Free Republic:
The Free Enterprise Nation (FEN) today released the results of a national poll that shows strong support for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker among Independent voters. The poll of voters outside of Wisconsin, taken from March 3rd to March 9th, included 500 Democrat, 500 Republican and 500 Independent voters.
FEN spokesman, Jim MacDougald stated that "This poll contradicts some of the other polls we've seen. According to our poll, 95% of Republicans agree with the Governor, and 92% of Democrats agree with the union. There is not much of a surprise there. But 66% of Independent voters agree with the Governor, and this group is what swings most elections."
After Wisconsin defeat, unions plan massive counterattack on GOP in 2012
Said the president of the AFL-CIO: "I guess I ought to say thank you particularly to Scott Walker. We should have invited him here today to receive the Mobilizer of the Year award from us!"
Gotta love his spunk.
As several states seek to follow Wisconsin's lead, newly invigorated public unions are looking ahead to the next election. Democrats are pressing to recall Republican opponents of organized labor and turn the debate into a focal point of next year's campaign.
I really don't want to give these morons any advice, (not that they would listen to me, anyway.) But maybe the pro- union demonstrators would appear more sympathetic to the public if they left the bongs, bongos, cow-bells, shame chants, socialist/communist worker signs, and bullying thug tactics at home next time?

Unlimited Cargo Van Rental
While car rentals generally offer you unlimited mileage, with cargo van rentals, the situation is different. In many cases the cargo van is available for a limited number of miles and if you want to drive more you need to pay for the extra distance. There are unlimited cargo van rental deals out there, but not all companies have them, or they might ask for a lot of money for them. When you have limited mileage, it can become stressful when you're trying to move and you have to make a couple of trips to move all your possessions.
As usual when you're looking for good deals, your best friend is the Internet. Before you start looking for unlimited cargo van rental deals, make sure you really need them. The mileage offered by the rental companies might be sufficient for your purposes and an unlimited number might not be necessary. Since the price will be higher if it's unlimited, getting exactly the deal you need will help you save money. You can always calculate with a margin of error, to make sure you're not making a mistake, but in most cases you just don't need unlimited mileage.
Ideally you should only look at the unlimited cargo van rental if you have things to move over very long distances. If you're moving within the same city, it's simply not necessary to pay a lot more just for the unlimited option.
When you're looking around, researching the best available prices, you should make sure the company actually has free cargo vans on the date when you need it. If they're having special offers, the vans might be booked for the date in question, so make sure you have all the information. Once you find a good offer, write it down and make the booking.

Since the late 1960s Chuck Close has been concentrating on portraiture and the human face in painting and photography and is one of the most celebrated artists working today. Close often takes his family and friends as models, making monumental and classical works that are both bold in their simplicity as well as intangible, since the images appear as if they have been viewed through a thick layer of glass or are rippling on the surface of water. In this way, the subjects of his paintings can seem like apparitions, dissolving and resolving when viewed from different distances.
Although Close has employed various painterly styles throughout his career, including an intense neo-realism in the 1970s and a shadowy Pointillism in the 1980s, he is perhaps best known for his more recent works which are made up from a shimmering, fragile grid set on the diagonal. Close's paintings are all-over images where the background of the picture – the negative space – is as important as the face itself and one cannot exist without the other. Likewise, in Close's daguerreotype photographs, the background defines the limit of the image plane as well as the outline of the subject, with the inky pitch-black setting off the light, reflective quality of the subject's face. Close's method of painting is always indexical, an incremental process whereby associative colours and shapes build up a pictorial syntax and a recognisable figurative whole. Warm colours are set against cold, circles against squares and the organising principles of the grid are constantly broken by minute areas of expressive abstraction.
Chuck Close was born in 1940 in Monroe, Washington and lives and works in New York City and Long Island. He hashad numerous retrospective exhibitions such as a touring show at four venues (1980-1981) including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; a show that travelled in Germany and France which was staged at Lenbachhaus, Munich (1994); an exhibition at MoMA, New York (1998-1999) that then travelled to four venues, closing at the Hayward Gallery, London (1999); 'Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration', the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2004); the exhibition 'Chuck Close: Self Portraits 1967-2005', Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2005) was also presented at SF MOMA (2006), High Museum, Atlanta (2006) and Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY (2006); 'Chuck Close: A Couple of Ways of Doing Something', Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto (2007), Tacoma Art Museum, Washington and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago (2008), Louisiana Art and Science Museum, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Palmer Museum of Art, Penn State University Park, Austin Museum of Art Austin, Texas (2009), Ball State University Museum of Art, Muncie, Indiana: Joseloff Gallery, University of Hartford, West Hartford, Connecticut (2010) and Arkansas Art Center, Little Rock, Arkansas (2011); 'Chuck Close: Seven Portraits Group', State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg (2008). Group exhibitions include; Documenta V and VI, Kassel (1972 and 1977), The Whitney Biennial, New York (1969, 1972, 1977, 1979, 1991), the Venice Biennale (1993, 1995, 2003) and the Carnegie International, Pittsburgh (1995-1996).

Have a hole or three in your favorite pair of jeans? You're in luck and right on trend this season, because ripped, nicked and distressed jeans have overshadowed last summer's boyfriend style as the denim du jour.
These aren't just ratty throwaways being recycled as stylish. The trend was sparked when slashed and distressed denim--paired with a boxy, military-style jacket and killer sandals, studded and strappy--sashayed down the Balmain spring 2009 runway.

I think this has happened before. I'm sure the FE can explain better but they can only review the machine given at the time. It then takes time to publish the Mag and then the manufacturer might change the specs a bit. At least you did notice.

Katie LaPotin, Red Alert Politics, April 5, 2013
As Democrats continue to cry foul about the impact that sequestration is having on the American people, several high-ranking Democrats (and Congressional Republicans) have announced that they will forefit part of their salary this year "in solidarity" with the government employees who will face furloughs or pay cuts this year.
In the meantime, a full 40 percent of Americans believe that the sequestration has not had any impact on the American economy and federal employees are seeing the number of days they will be furloughed either lowered or completely eliminated.
Red Alert Politics has put together a running list of those politicians who have already announced they will return part of their salary. Who knows how many more will make that pledge before all is said and done?!?
Barack Obama
The Commander-in-Chief agreed to forfeit five percent – or just under $17,000 – of his annual salary for the 10 months that sequestration is in effect this year. In a statement, a White House official said that "The President has decided that to share in the sacrifice being made by public servants across the federal government that are affected by the sequester, he will give part his salary back to the Treasury." The president's salary, however, cannot actually be altered on the fly – it is set by federal law.
Chuck Hagel
Newly-minted Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel plans to return 14 days worth of his $200,000 salary to the Defense department in solidarity with the workers in his Department that are facing a 14-day furlough starting in June. It should be noted that the Department originally planned on furloughing employees for as many as 22 days this year, however.
Eric Holder
Attorney General Eric Holder will be taking a voluntary $10,750 pay cut this year, which is the equivalent of 14 furlough days. In a statement to TIME magazine, the Justice Department said that "The Attorney General intends to take a pay cut equal to the maximum amount any Justice Department employee has to take as a result of the sequestration, which is up to 14 days this fiscal year, so that those funds can go back into the Treasury." Holder, like Hagel, also earns $200,000 annually.
John Kerry
Giving up money – let alone a meager five percent of his salary – shouldn't be a problem for someone supposedly worth$200 million, yet newly-minted Secretary of State John Kerry is doing just that. Victoria Nuland, a spokeswoman for the State Department, said Thursday that Kerry will donate 5 percent of his $183,500 salary, or $9,175, to a charity for department employees.
Jack Lew
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew also announced Thursday that he will take a pay cut this year due to the sequestration. According to the Associated Press, Lew will give part of his salary to non-profits that support people and programs affected by the sequestration; the Treasury has not released details on the amount of the cut or the non-profits benefitting from Lew's donation as of yet.
Janet Napolitano
A spokesperson for Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano told POLITICO Thursday that she will donate five percent of her salary to foundations that benefit department staff.
A number of House and Senate members on both sides of the aisle have announced that they will give up part of their 2013 salary in solidarity with the federal government employees being furloughed this year. While Congressional offices have seen their budgets slashed by 8.2 percent since March 1, the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget Act of 1985 exempts members of Congress from having their salaries cut by sequestration.
Among those who have voluntarily agreed to give up part of their pay this year in "solidarity" with their employees are:

Transfer of an elementary particle, i.e. an electron, a proton,
or a hydrogen, is a fundamental chemical reaction, which are at
the core of many energy conversion and associated charge transport
processes in chemistry and biology. Examples include light harvesting
in plants, enzymatic conversion of carbon dioxide into (bi)carbonate,
proton pumping through biological membranes, excitation conversion
mechanisms in photostabilisers, acid-base neutralization reactions
and the von Grotthuss mechanism of proton transport in bulk water.
Techniques to study the transfer of electrons, protons or hydrogen
atoms range from nuclear magnetic resonance, inelastic neutron scattering,
infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and electronic spectroscopy. In
all these cases the transfer reaction is described as motion in
a double well potential energy surface along the reaction coordinate,
either over the barrier by solvent- or temperature induced effects
or by tunnelling through the barrier. In the aforementioned techniques
the observed relative populations are always ensemble-averaged over
the possible configurations and dynamical aspects can only be deduced
in an indirect way. Ultrafast spectroscopy with an optical pump
trigger pulse allows for a direct monitoring of the transfer reaction
in real time. Until now these time-resolved studies have been performed
with optical probing techniques, with which only limited structural
information can be obatined. We pursue since 2001 the implementation
of femtosecond mid-infrared spectroscopy to study the structural
dynamics of charge transfer processes. A recent development in photoelectron
spectroscopy enables to monitor electronic states of solvated electrons,
protons and ions in liquid jets.
Bimolecular electron transfer and bimolecular
proton transfer reactions in liquid solution has been explored since 2003 (more details
see link). For either
case the interplay between molecular diffusion and reaction dynamics
of on-contact complexes has to be taken into account. Polarization-resolved
IR spectroscopy enables determination of contact reaction pairs
in donor-acceptor electron transfer. Femtosecond IR spectroscopy
has provided key insight into different stages of aqueous proton
transfer between photoacids and bases, taking place in a sequential
von Grotthuss-like mechanism.
This research was in part funded by:
• DFG-Sonderschwerpunktprogramm NI 492 (2000-2001).
• German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research GIF-722 jointly with E. Pines (2003-2006).
• German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research GIF-876 jointly with E. Pines (2007-2009).
1. Bimolecular reactions
follow diffusional dynamics, typically slow - (sub)nanosecond
time scales -, and on-contact reaction dynamics when an
encounter complex has been formed.
2. Until now, however,
structural information on the encounter complexes has been
limited. Often it is assumed that the reactants form tight
reactant pairs (a.k.a. contact pairs, optimally aligned
pairs), but it could well be that rather loose reactant
pairs (a.k.a. solvent separated pairs, not well aligned
pairs) play a dominant role. In the case of tight pairs
couplings are expected to be high, with associated fast
reaction rates, whereas for loose pairs the interactions
are weaker, and the reactions accordingly are slower.
3. We use polarization-sensitive
UV-pump IR-probe spectroscopy with which we can learn orientational
preferences of the reactant pairs.
4. Several proton transfer
pathways between acids and bases having different number
of water molecules as bridge can be considered. Because
proton transfer reactions are typically reversible, many
peripatetic pathways may play a key role in the solution
phase dynamics. The phrase "peripatetic" in this
context has been used first by Casey Hynes, see his News
& Views commentary published in 2007 on this.
5. Aqueous carbon dioxide
chemistry is usually described using an equilibrium between
CO2/H2O and HCO3-/H3O+,
with the effective acid dissociation constant Ka(CO2)
for which pKa = 6.35. In reality the
hydration/dehydration and deprotonation/protonation steps
have to be treated separately, with carbonic acid as intermediate.
Carbonic acid has not been directly observed in aqueous
solution, and as a result the real acidity of carbonic acid
has only been roughly estimated to be pKa
~ 3.6 .
6. Ultrafast protonation
of bicarbonate can be achieved using 2-naphthol-6,8-disulfonate
(2N-6,8S). Experimental results have been obtained in D2O
for two isotopomers of bicarbonate. The results show that
the disappearance of bicarbonate by is correlated with the
formation of carbonic acid.
7. Formation dynamics
of carbonic acid as function of base concentration: 0.25
M (red), 0.5 M (green) and 0.8 M (blue). At the highest
base concentration the early time dynamics is dominated
by encounter pair reactions, at longer pulse delay the dynamics
is governed by diffusional motions of photoacid and base.
The experimentally found reaction rate for the protonation
of bicarbonate (red dot) is only consistent with previously
obtained protonation rates of carboxylate bases CH3-xClxCOO-
(blue triangles) and HCOO-(black square)
when the real acidity for carbonic acid is used: pKa
= 3.45 ± 0.15. In contrast the effective value for
CO2/H2O cannot be used for the results
obtained with the ultrafast protonation experiment.

Alex Miller made sure the Severna Park field hockey team got rewarded for its effort.
Despite dominating the game statistically, the Falcons needed a goal from Miller early in the second half to tie the game and another in overtime and pulled out a 2-1 victory over Broadneck on Thursday at Kinder Farm Park.
Miller's game-winner came seven minutes into overtime off the second assist of the game from Rachel Lewis.
"We just take opportunities when we have them, and we're really working on finishing this year," Miller said. "I was just thinking of the next step and where I was going with it."
The overtime goal came off a restart following a break for an injury. Lewis sent an aerial pass that Miller caught up to and knocked in the cage to give the Falcons their 11th straight victory.
The Falcons outshot the Bruins 18-2 and attempted 17 penalty corners to just two for the Bruins. They had several other quality chances to score during the game, but were either the victim of timely defensive saves by the Bruins or one of goalie Peri Long's 13 saves.
"This is the way the season has been. We've had a lot of shots, but not necessarily a lot of goals," Severna Park coach Ann Andrews said. "We're keeping the ball in the offensive end a lot, so we just need to hope that we can finish."
Broadneck (5-3-1) weathered an early Severna Park storm, which included four penalty corners in the first 10 minutes. The Falcons appeared as though they were going to take the early lead, but as Megan Brannen's drive off a penalty corner got behind Long, Caroline Keniston was on the goal line and made a defensive save and kept the game scoreless.
The Bruins had just two penalty corners, but took the lead on their first when Sammy Dupcak scored off an assist from Emily Eckels with 8:18 left in the first half. The Falcons had a few more chances to tie the game before the half, but the Bruins got another defensive save — this time from Chloe Mayhew — and went into halftime with the one-goal lead.
"We were too defensive," Broadneck coach Jen Plack said. "I think we needed to be attacking more."
Severna Park (11-0) finally got on the board with Miller's first goal six minutes into the second half. After Lewis' initial shot was stopped, Miller put the rebound in to tie the game at 1.
The Falcons continued to carry the play throughout the second half and overtime and didn't allow another Broadneck shot before Miller scored her second to end the game exactly seven minutes into the first overtime.
"I thought we played a great first half. Second half, I thought we played on our heels," Plack said. "We played like we were up 1-0. We told them we needed to play like it was 0-0 and that we needed to score."
Severna Park, which gave up a goal for the first time in three games, is 5-0 in the county with county games next week with Chesapeake and North County followed by a likely berth in the county championship game on Oct. 19.
"One of our goals was to stay calm. When we start playing frantic, we don't play well. When we play calm and controlled, we execute much better hockey," Andrews said. "We have amazing players, and it's amazing players who like each other, and that makes a difference."
Severna Park 2, Broadneck 1 (OT)
Goals: BN — Dupcak; SP — Miller 2.
Assists: BN — Eckels; SP — Lewis 2
Saves: BN — Long 13; SP — Nutter 0.
Half: BN, 1-0

SUNRISE - — After bowling nearly four dozen games last week, Tommy Evans of Fort Lauderdale says he's going to take a break.
"I'm not going to pick up a ball for a week," Evans said.
But not much else will change for Evans, 54, who experienced a week unlike any other in his life.
Evans, a full-time Senior Tour bowler who owns the pro shop at Don Carter's All Star Lanes, nearly pulled off a miracle Saturday by winning the $275,000 Choice Hotels Classic.
Evans lost to Dave D'Entremont, a regular national tour bowler, 242-214 in the championship match. But he got farther than anyone had a right to expect.
"I'm sort of tingling all over," said Evans, who pocketed $23,000. "How do you describe this feeling? I think once I come down, every muscle in my body is going to ache."
Evans may not come down for a while. Every time Evans threw a ball this week, he was cheered wildly by those watching at Don Carter's. Although Evans considers himself reserved, he didn't appear that way Saturday, repeatedly waving to fans in the packed stands.
But Evans has no delusions. Asked if his performance this week would lead him to play with the younger bowlers on the national tour, Evans laughed.
"I snuck up on them this week and I'm not going to give them a chance to get back at me," said Evans, who has won the first two Senior Tour events this season and will play nearly the entire Senior schedule.
Evans said he's a member of the new breed of Senior bowler. At 54, Evans appears healthier than many men half his age. He runs the treadmill for 25 minutes every morning and works out with weights three times a week. Evans' forearms are as thick as a longshoreman's.

Cabot Clothbound is a handsome natural-rinded traditional cheddar. Bandaged with muslin and skillfully aged a minimum of 10 months at the Cellars at Jasper Hill. Cabot Clothbound has all the characteristic texture of an English-style cheddar with the sweet caramel and milky flavors that sets it apart from other bandaged cheddars. The flavor profile is at once sweet, savory, nutty, and tangy.
Cabot Creamery was one of the first family farm cooperatives in Vermont, and today they are widely known for making exceptional American-style block Cheddar. Kempton Family Farm in Peacham, VT has been selected as the sole source for Clothbound, and Cabot crafts this cheese the old-world way - one vat at a time.
Once unmolded from their shaping hoops, the infant wheels are individually wrapped with muslin and brushed with lard before they undergo a ten to fourteen month maturation period. The extra care involved in curing a clothbound cheese requires a customized aging environment, with proper temperature, humidity, and airflow. The cheddar vaults at the Cellars at Jasper Hill are majestic and awe-inspiring - Cabot Clothbound is truly a monumental undertaking. A team of affineurs practice a constant cycle of care for Clothbound and the wheels are tested, tasted, and monitored for quality during their entire life cycle.

Derby County fullback Tyrone Mears admits he was devastated and embarrassed by Saturday's 5-0 home defeat by West Ham.
"The manager told us to take a look at ourselves after the game. I don't think he needs to say anything more.
"I'm devastated. It's my old club, it's 5-0, we're at home and we're bottom of the league.
"We're fighting to stay in this league and it's not going to happen if we carry on playing like that."
The 24 year-old defender moved to Upton Park in July 2006 in a £1m deal from Preston North End.

6 Non-Traditional Resolutions You Need to Make in 2015
We're all guilty of falling victim to the unrealistic expectations we set for ourselves year after year. But this year, maybe we should try something a little different.
Maybe we should set goals that go against the grain — goals that aren't the same old same old? Maybe we should step out of out comfort zones and away from those "Eat less! Diet more! Call my sister six times a week!" rules that we inundate ourselves with?
Because, let's be honest: It's not that those goals aren't good. They're just impossible to keep up with. And the instant we "fail" at them, we feel like failures. Like we can't even keep on pace with the handful of things we've tried to do to make ourselves better. The domino effect sends us into a downward spiral, which leads to us eating more, dieting less and calling our sister zero times a month.
So before you clink your glasses together and toast to the new year and all the things you promise to be better about, do yourself a favor and don't. Give yourself the freedom to approach your resolutions a little differently in 2015, okay?
Don't make crazy rules to help you cut costs.
Instead of creating an impossible-to-follow doctrine that dictates how and when you can spend your money, be realistic about your expenses. And while you're at it, be honest.
Think about where the majority of your cash went last year. Rent? Shopping? Eating out? There are ways to cut back on how much you're spending – and how often you're spending it – without cutting spending out of your budget entirely.
People who believe that you've got to "cut all the financial fat" are the ones who find their crippling plans the hardest to follow. It makes sense, too, because they're not factoring any room for living into the mix.
Ditch that fad diet once and for all.
Want to change your life around for real? Toss whatever fad diet you're planning to kick-start at the beginning of the year right into the toilet and repeat after me: "This diet isn't going to work."
It doesn't matter how disciplined you are; you're inevitably bound to mess up. You'll turn your cheat snack into an entire cheat day; you'll accidentally serve yourself .3 extra ounces of starches when you really should be serving yourself .3 less of everything in sight.
If you want to change your eating habits, lose weight and be a healthier, happier version of yourself, change your lifestyle. Think of working out, eating healthier and taking care of your mental health as a cyclical relationship: in order to maintain one thing, you have to take better care of all of the others, too.
Stop trying to meet The One.
Do you know how much pressure you're putting on yourself by insisting that this year — this year — you'll finally find The One? It's enough to make someone go absolutely crazy.
Instead of force-feeding all your eggs into the proverbial basket, why not liberate yourself from feeling like you've got to get your act together this year and stick to meeting lots of different people? Maybe they won't be The One, but is that necessarily a bad thing?
Plus, it's a known fact that once you stop looking, you start finding all the right answers.
The gym isn't the answer to your weight-loss problems.
The idea that the only way you can get fitter, be healthier and be happier is by slaving away at the gym week after week until you notice drastic changes in your mood, your mind and your body is as dated as that ab workout you're still doing. You don't need a gym membership to take charge of your fitness. Does it help? Sure, sometimes. But it's not the end all, be all of weight-loss routines.
Broaden your horizons. Take risks. Try to use what you already have (for instance that PlayStation, your Wii, your walking shoes, your Lean & Chiseled workout DVD) and use it to your advantage. Not only will you spend less, but you'll probably like yourself more because of it.
Eat more of what makes you happy.
If you completely toss all of the foods that you love and look forward to eating from your diet, you're going to find out just how disappointing your meal choices are going to become. So do yourself a favor: Eat what you want. Eat all of it. Eat it as often as you want.
Any good dietician will tell you that the key is moderation; it's having a really good thing – and knowing when to stop eating it. It's having a really, really delicious thing and knowing that you can have more of it later, or tomorrow, or the next day.
Setting reasonable, livable expectations are better than completely nixing your palate clean of everything that makes eating fun.
Stop making rules for a "better" you.
Here's the problem with crafting an ill-fated list of rules that dictate how you're supposed to be living your life: Rules get broken. Rules sometimes suck. So adhering your life to them, and spinning blindly in their orbit, isn't exactly going to be the thing that changes your life.
If you want to be better, make small, actionable goals to get you there. Make an effort to be nicer to a colleague you didn't really like, try to pack your lunch three times a week – or, at the very least, two. Aim to drink at least one glass of water. Do your best to tidy your room when you have time.
You'll beat yourself up less when you inevitably "fail," and you'll feel much better about the small processes that you make. Baby steps, after all, lead to leaps and bounds eventually.

I understand this is quite rare and I havent found anyone in this area that can relate - is there anyone out there that can share their story?
Feb 14, 2004 - 10:13 am
Hi Julie, Thisis my first time on CSN so I hope I do it right. I was diagnosed with Thynoma and occular Masthenia. I had surgery last July and my cancer was Neuroblastoma, which is primarily a childrens cancer. I am not a child. This cancer is so rare in adults, the doctors do not know how to treat me. So far I have not had any treatments. What is your experience slj
Jan 16, 2005 - 12:52 am
I have just joined this website, so i am not sure if you will receive this or not. My husband was diagnosed with MG and then Thymoma 10 years ago. He has been in treatment for the malignant thymoma for most of that time. He can give any information anyone needs on this type of cancer.
Apr 05, 2005 - 9:07 pm
Dear MS,
I would love to correspond with you. My husband was diagnosed with malignant thymoma in April of 1996....9 years ago! He had a recurrence in 2001, then another in the fall of 2004. The last 8 rounds of chemo, using several different drugs, failed; he is now in a clinical trial at IUPUI in Idianapolis, and a week ago had his second infusion of the trial drug, Alimta. He will have scans on the 15th to determine whether or not there has been any response to this treatment. He will remain in the trial if there is no new growth, or there is shrinkage....any disease progression will disqualify him. If this is the case, he will be sent back to our doctors her in GA for more approved chemo. There are several which he hasn't had that have had limited success with other thymoma patients.
If you read this, and would like to correspond, my e-mail is email@example.com . Just be sure to put "thymoma" in the subject line so I won't delete it.
Good luck to you and your husband.

Hi, Julie. I am 33 years old and was diagnosed in '92 with MG. I had problems swallowing, weakness in my arms and general weakness. Unknowing that I had this disease, I had given birth to 2 children and I could trace my weakness back to high school. My family doctor diagnosed me after a 15 minute exam and question session.I feel I owe him my life since he saved me. At the time, there was not much information available about the disease, treatment, and remission information. Fortunately, I live in the same city where the only doctor in my state (at that time) performs thymectomies. In just a matter of days I was diagnosed, hospitalized, put on treatment, had MRIs performed, and was scheduled for surgery to remove my thymoma which was as large as my lungs. I have been stable since the operation, but when I am stressed or tired I do get tired and exhausted easily. I consider myself strong and a survivor. You do have to find a purpose to live--mine was my children, and get as much information as possible from every resource. Good luck!

I Have Never Felt Sexually Attracted to Anyone At All
October 16, 2008
By Mike Landry
Winnipegger Daniel Barrow's stories begin, simply enough, with a visual image. But, when that first idea is so odd it's not long before he ends up with a film featuring a garbage man creating a phone book with personalized portraits and who is being stalked by a serial killer.
Such was the plot in his now finished and much acclaimed work, Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry. His latest work in progress is no different. I Have Never Felt Sexually Attracted to Anyone At All started with the image of someone reverse waxing themselves.
"I just had the image of a very slim nubile hairless body lathered with Vaseline grabbing a cat blanket from the backseat of a car and then burnishing their body and peeling it back to reveal hair," says Barrow. "And I just developed this idea that this could be a way someone could commit suicide if they were allergic to cats."

Among the fifa news that you just need understand and with gossips is
the return of The Trip with characters and new story-lines. The
Ultimate Team, that is the squad-building manner, will find some
developments and enhancements. The Trip first appeared in fifa 17, plus
it enabled devotees to perform as the enormous gift that's Alex Hunter (more informations about buy fifa 18 coins).
As much as ten million players participated, as well as the franchise
has made a decision to enlarge the chain. Whats uncertain is whether we
shall begin to see the return of Alex Hunter. That which we understand
is that fifa 18 guarantees to give a linked and emotionally engaging
gaming experience.
The Protect Star
Easports has left your
choice to enthusiasts of the sport, with regards to who is going to be
about the cover of fifa 18. The selection were whittled down to a couple
players, and today its up to fans to determine the soccer star like to
see on the cover theyd. There's strong feeling the cover star will be
Anthony Martial after his images appeared on some graphics of
officially-licensed products.
Early Footage
A commercial was
recently-released by Nintendo Japan on their YouTube.com channel, also
it features what seems to be the initial footage of fifa 18. We are able
to presume what's included in the business is the initial footage of
fifa 18 since EA executive Peter Moore affirmed the franchise is
developing a custom edition of the game for the Nintendo Change.
Changes that are anticipated
modifications are seen by every new variant of the FIFA video game, and
we anticipate the same for fifa 18. The images will undoubtedly be
enhanced, and we can likewise be prepared to see some adjustments that
devotees have implied. Based on supporters, because footballers are now
quite creative in they manner in which they observe their goals they
would like to determine new aim festivities. So we we possibly may only
see Jesse Lingaard and Paul Pogba do-ing the dab. Wed additionally like
to see selfies being taken by Douglas Costa with the buffs.
New Sport Engine
18 is now on Frost Bite, which will be the brand new engine that was
first utilized on FIFA 17. Dice developed the engine and is employed on
popular game titles like Battlefield (view more at MMOROG.COM).
This motor is really capable of breathtaking accomplishments that are
graphical, which means mo-Re particulars and sharper pictures in the
computer game. Yet, graphical glitches we saw in fifa 17 will have to be
repaired, and were convinced the game programmers will work not simple
to repair them.
A number of the platforms on
which you will end up capable to play with fifa 18 contain X Box One,
the play station 4, and Computer. And thanks to the advertisement that
is Japanese, we be aware the game may be played around the Nintendo
Cost and Release Date
Fifa 18 will most be one of
the best-promoting games in 20 17, and also the Easports franchise will
probably be on top of the graphs subsequent to the start. The
releasedate will most definitely be around the start of September 20 17,
that may give EA Sports the time to fix their teams predicated on
player transfers. Last but not the very least, fifa 18 gossips and news
which you need understand is pricing and fifa 18 is prone to price $60.

If you are a Ubuntu User in South Florida, please join us for the Ubuntu 16.04 release party that is scheduled to take place on April 3rd of 2016 at Topeekeegee Yugneepark Park (Meetup Link). Admission is free but small donations for food will help. Join us for fun, food and I am going to toss a pretty sweet prize into the mix – an Intel Compute Stick with Ubuntu pre-installed. Read below for more details on the Compute Stick and how to qualify –
Side Project : Ubuntu GNOME HTML5 Simulation
Rule #1 – Never give a geek free time or a week off of work, you never know what can happen. I took a week off (December 15th – December 19th) to some much needed work around the house. During my downtime, I decided to fire up a gedit document and come up with something creative, the end result was a simulation of Ubuntu GNOME running completely in a web browser. This HTML5 based simulation could will eventually allow users to experience Ubuntu GNOME (and possibly other operating systems) without the need to install it on their computer. This is especially useful for training new users.
Giving Back To The Ubuntu Gnome Community
I have been a proud user of Ubuntu since 2007 and have used it religiously as my primary Operating System since 2009. Since its humble beginnings in 2004, Ubuntu has quickly grew to become one of the most popular Linux Distributions on earth. It has become so popular that over a thousand "forked" distributions have been created and maintained. I was thrilled with the formation of the Ubuntu GNOME community which announced a version of Ubuntu that utilizes the Gnome Shell rather than Unity. I started using it in October of 2012 and have not looked back since. For the past 2 years, I have been a long time lurker on the Ubuntu GNOME mailing Lists and IRC but as of November 2014, I have decided to step up and fill a much needed vacancy within the community as the Lead of Marketing and Communications.
