No Tolerance for "Intolerable Acts"
I've written a few times on the Quartering Acts, and what Parliament's laws on housing soldiers really said (as opposed to what many latter-day American authors have claimed). While I did that research, I read several authors saying that American Patriots had listed the Quartering Act of 1774 as one of the "Intolerable Acts" while several others said the Patriots had left it off those lists. I decided to check out the original sources, and here's what I found.
There were no lists of "Intolerable Acts." In fact, I couldn't find the phrase "Intolerable Acts" in any of my digital sources from the pre-Revolutionary period (most of them listed at the left). Boston 1775 readers know I like to point out myths, but this one astonished even me.
Encarta defines "Intolerable Acts" this way:
popular name given by Americans to four laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party.And that reference site is by no means alone in that definition. Many resources state that in Britain those same laws were referred to as "Coercive Acts" since they were meant to coerce Massachusetts into behaving better.
However, the Early American Newspapers database pops out the first use of the phrase "intolerable act(s)" only in 1808, and then in regard to recent foreign news. The first newspaper story in that database to use "Intolerable Acts" in connection to the American Revolution was the Kansas City Times on 25 May 1913.
The phrase "intolerable act(s)" doesn't appear in the George Washington correspondence on the Library of Congress's American Memory website or the George Washington Papers project at the University of Virginia (except in modern footnotes). The phrase doesn't appear in John Adams's diary, autobiography, and correspondence with Abigail Adams available through the Massachusetts Historical Society.
"Intolerable act(s)" doesn't appear in the Library of Congress's "Documents from the Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention" or "A Century of Lawmaking" databases. The phrase doesn't appear in the documents printed in the massive American Archives, compiled by Peter Force in the early 1800s.
The American Patriots did occasionally use the word "intolerable," as in the Continental Congress's resolution on 9 June 1775 authorizing Massachusetts to hold elections for its General Court again. But I'm still looking for the phrase "Intolerable Acts."
Back in 1810, Robert Bisset's History of the Reign of George III characterized the Congress's 1774 "Address to the People of Great Britain" this way:
Their grievances (they said) arose from eleven acts of parliament passed in the present reign; but the most intolerable resulted from the three acts of the last session of parliament, respecting the colony of Massachusetts Bay, and the law for extending the limits of Canada.However, Congress's actual address, drafted by John Jay, didn't use the word "intolerable."
In 1826, Edward Everett gave an Independence Day speech in Cambridge that described the Patriots this way:
Not only was the independence, for which they struggled, a great and arduous adventure, of which they were to encounter the risk, and others to enjoy the benefits; but the oppressions, which roused them, had assumed, in their day, no worse form than that of a pernicious principle. No intolerable acts of oppression had ground them to the dust. They were not slaves rising in desperation from beneath the agonies of the lash; but free men, snuffing from afar "the tainted gale of tyranny."In The American Laborer in 1842, co-published by Horace Greeley, an author complained:
The degrading restrictions imposed upon our industry while British Colonies, were intolerable acts of oppression, and enforced with the utmost rigor by the Parliament of Great Britain.Those ante-bellum writers used the phrase "intolerable acts" in a general sense. That implies that they didn't link the phrase to the 1774 coercive measures, and they didn't expect their audiences to do so.
The earliest example of the phrase "Intolerable Acts" as a label for specific legislation that I've found on Google Books appears in A History of the United States for Schools, by Alexander Johnston, with a copyright date of 1885. It lists "The Four Intolerable Acts," the same four that Bisset had said were most grievous. In 1893, A History of the United States, a rival school textbook by Allen C. Thomas, went further and listed "The Five Intolerable Acts." (That's when the Quartering Act of 1774 entered the picture.)
Within a few years, a new orthodoxy appeared in American textbooks and popular histories: whether there were four or five parliamentary bills involved (and books continued to differ), people had called them the "Coercive Acts" in Britain and the "Intolerable Acts" in America. Still, no book quoted a Revolutionary-era source for the second label.
Even the "Coercive Acts" label appears to have been less common than that textbook formulation implies, but at least it's documented in one very prominent place: George III's speech to Parliament on 26 Oct 1775.
As for me, unless I hear from someone with a period reference, I'm swearing off any mention of "the Intolerable Acts." (Not that I liked the phrase to begin with.)

Sinking and Floating Bubbles
For this demonstration I use my own special formula for extra strong soap bubbles. I use one part Dawn soap, one part glycerin, and two parts water. I dip the bottom end of the funnel into the soap bubble mixture and blow through the wide top to create large bubbles. The rest of the demo just needs an empty fish tank and some dry ice. This is one of my favorite demos to teach the concepts of the density and buoyancy of different gasses.

Johan, baby.It's heating up.
Man, I knew Cabrera was on the market, but I didn't think they'd send Dontrell Willis with him. Tigers send top prospects to Marlins for Cabrera, WillisIf Willis returns to form (and we trade Santana), that Tigers rotation is probably the strongest in the AL Central.
I'm going to go have my **** fit now. But before I do, I have to say, the Twins really need to just resign Santana. Seriously, if you don't want the hands-down-best pitcher in baseball, who came up with your team since day 1, then what on Earth do you have a baseball team for? Sell to someone who wants to run this thing right.
Think of it this way, if Willis' ERA and WHIP have inflated so woefully over the past 2 years in the NL, imagine how ugly he's gonna be in the AL where ERA's tend to rise 1.00 and K's/9 tend to drop 2/game?
Exactly...how do you even think about trading the best pitcher in baseball? Pay the guy and move on...I hate you Pohlad, I hate you so so much
Sure seems to be a lot of former/current Yankees on that list

A tremendous new customer service opportunity has emerged with the adoption of social media by consumers and the ability for companies to effectively listen to and track conversations about their brands. TELUS International calls this activity "social care," and it's defined as the efforts employees make through social media to care for customers. Interestingly, these efforts aren't necessarily confined to traditional contact center agents working in customer service departments. They are finding some companies empowering not only their well-trained customer service representatives, but also a select group of engineers, product managers and even executives. Tapping into the larger talent pool is one of many strategies companies are using to provide positive customer experiences on the social Web.
Several best practices emerge from research conducted by TELUS International. Some of these practices are already being effectively employed at benchmark companies while others are underutilized practices that represent opportunities for companies to expand and improve their social care efforts.

Breathe is an Indian drama that explores the lives of ordinary men faced with extraordinary circumstances. Kabir (Sadh), a brilliant but non-conventional officer of the Crime Branch, puts the pieces together of seemingly unconnected deaths of organ donors that lead up to an unlikely suspect - the affable Danny (Madhavan). Kabir will not stop till he cracks the case and delivers justice.
Danny's world comes crashing down as Josh's health deteriorates and death becomes a matter of time. An organ transplant is the only hope for Josh's survival. Danny makes a dangerous commitment to himself and walks down a path of no return. Kabir cracks a nexus between a corrupt cop and a local drug cartel but in doing so exposes himself and his unit to public criticism on social media.
Danny starts researching on the organ donation process. After tracking down potential organ donors, Danny zeroes in on his first target, Verma and plots an unconventional way to bring Josh one step closer to survival. Kabir refuses to let go of his troubled memories as he and Ria face divorce.
Danny gets emboldened and selects his second target, the young techie Rahul. When Danny's best-laid plan goes awry, he makes a desperate and brutal attempt. Kabir's instinct leads him to begin an investigation into the case. Kabir and Prakash are convinced that there is more to Rahul's accident than meets the eye.
Danny's killing instincts get sharper as he picks his next target, aspiring actress Anita, and weaves a stealthy bid to entrap her. Kabir faces strong resistance from his new boss, ACP Shankar. Kabir and Prakash crack a vital clue that could prove to be the first link between the deaths of two unrelated organ donors. The duo discovers a startling pattern and a shocking target on the killer's list.
Time is running out for Josh and Danny makes a bold entry into Ria's world. He also puts his own life at risk in a bid to finish the job with Verma. Kabir struggles to manage both personal and professional fallout as he faces a roadblock that could end his investigation in the organ donors' deaths. Kabir and Prakash zero-in on a new suspect, Rao and the heat on the case dials-up a notch.
An intense cat-and-mouse game begins as Kabir lands up at Danny's home and the suspicion on Danny gets stronger. Shankar cracks down on Kabir's moonlighting investigation and orders a shutdown even as Kabir pieces together the puzzle. Danny creates the perfect alibi as he makes a sly attempt on his next target, Nair.
Danny's alibi turns out too well planned for Kabir to pin the murders down on him. Undeterred and as determined as ever, Danny moves to his next target even as Kabir shifts focus to Rao and his instincts lead him to a vital clue that could crack the case and indict Rao for the murders. A game of smoke screens begins between Kabir and Danny as Danny moves Josh one more step closer to survival.
With the case seemingly closed and Kabir's attention diverted, Danny makes his boldest move yet – a direct attack on Ria to get the organ that would finally give Josh a normal life. When all seems to be going as per Danny's plan, a stark and shocking revelation makes for a fitting final showdown in this series finale.
From the producer of Airlift and Baby, comes Breathe, a gripping crime drama starring R. Madhavan and Amit Sadh. Danny (Madhavan) is the single parent to a critically ill child in need of a lung transplant. Kabir (Sadh) is a rulebook-defying police officer, fighting his own demons. Will Danny be able to save his son? Will Kabir be able to deliver true justice? To find out, watch Breathe.
The difference between a man becoming a 'Protector' or 'Predator' is simply what's at stake.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- As 91,471 people stood in silence at Memorial Stadium, balloons floated north.
Blue ones and yellow ones, a rare sight in a town that lives by "Go Big Red." They rose from the southeast corner, released by a student section dressed in all black. Near the front row, someone held a sign that said "N #36," Nebraska's letter emblazoned in UCLA colors. Football would be played soon, but before that Bruins and Huskers fans thought of Nick Pasquale.
The walk-on UCLA receiver died last Sunday in his hometown of San Clemente. He had been walking home from a friend's house when a car hit him. The driver stayed on scene and called 9-1-1, but Pasquale was pronounced dead at 1:27 a.m.
As grief wrenched the Bruins' community, Nebraska extended its hand. The Cornhuskers quickly arranged for a moment of silence before Saturday's kickoff. They wore Pasquale's No. 36 on the backs of their white helmets, mirroring the patch UCLA added to the front of their jerseys.
On Saturday, the Bruins stood on the field in Lincoln. Some looked up at the sky and balloons. Some looked down at their feet or straight ahead.
"It was tough, man," linebacker Anthony Barr said. "That's my guy. That's our guy. He had so much heart and so much soul, and we respect him so much.
"We kind of went out and just played with his spirit."
After UCLA's 41-21 victory, Jim Mora used his first words to thank Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst, coach Bo Pelini and all the Huskers fans for their compassion.
"I thought it was an incredible gesture they made here, and I think it's kind of the class here at Nebraska," Mora said. "You just don't find that in many places."
He stressed he and the team would continue to support the Pasquales. Today the Bruins will bus down to San Clemente Presbyterian, where a service will begin at 4 p.m. The family had come up and spoken to the team on Friday. Nick's father, Mel, asked them to win.
"His father's a very strong man," safety Anthony Jefferson said. "He told us to play for Nick, play to honor his son and the way that he played football.
"I think it was a huge win to honor him and his family." ___

By Molly Johnson, sports information student assistant
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College women's volleyball team (4-22, 1-15 PBC) battled but could not prevail against the Francis Marion University Patriots (19-6, 10-4 PBC) Friday night, 3-1, in the Centennial Center.
The Bobcats fell in the first set 25-15, but fought back to take the second set 25-23. Unfortunately, they were unable to keep the momentum, losing the third and fourth sets 25-19.
The team looked to spread the ball out tonight and did just that, having three players with double-digit kills. Rachel Reynolds (Marietta, Ga.) led with 16, followed by Caroline Long (Roswell, Ga) with a season high of 15. Rounding off the three was Haley Ashworth (Cumming, Ga.) with 10. The Bobcats were close behind on hitting percentage with .208 to the Patriots .299.
Ashworth recorded a season high of 14 digs for the Bobcats. Caroline Ham (Marietta, Ga.) also added 14, for a total of 52 for the team. Ashworth recorded a double-double, which is the first in her career.
Blocks for both sides played a major factor in the match. The Patriots recorded seven total team blocks to the Bobcats' two. Emily Sears led the Patriots with 17 kills. She was aided by Alexzandra Reed and Megan Mooney, both with 12 and Jessica Imbimbo with 10. Imbimbo had the most digs with 19 and Rebekah Davis accompanied her with 13.
The Bobcats fall to 1-15 in PBC play, with the top eight advancing to the PBC Tournament in mid-November. The Bobcats have fallen out of the running for the PBC Tournament after needing to win this match against Francis Marion.
The Bobcats next match will be tomorrow, Nov. 9 at home against UNC Pembroke at 2 p.m.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at @GCBobcats on Twitter and Facebook for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

Bangladesh, country of south-central Asia, located in the delta of the Padma (Ganges [Ganga]) and Jamuna (Brahmaputra) rivers in the northeastern part of the Indian subcontinent.
The riverine country of Bangladesh ("Land of the Bengals") is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and its people are predominantly Muslim. As the eastern portion of the historical region of Bengal, the area once formed, along with what is now the Indian state of West Bengal, the province of Bengal in British India. With the partition of India in 1947, it became the Pakistani province of East Bengal (later renamed East Pakistan), one of five provinces of Pakistan, separated from the other four by 1,100 miles (1,800 km) of Indian territory. In 1971 it became the independent country of Bangladesh, with its capital at Dhaka.
Bangladesh is bordered by the Indian states of West Bengal to the west and north, Assam to the north, Meghalaya to the north and northeast, and Tripura and Mizoram to the east. To the southeast, it shares a boundary with Myanmar (Burma). The southern part of Bangladesh opens into the Bay of Bengal.
Stretching northward from the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh constitutes roughly the eastern two-thirds of the deltaic plain of the Padma (Ganges [Ganga]) and Jamuna (Brahmaputra) rivers. Except for small higher areas of jungle-covered old alluvium (rising to about 100 feet [30 metres]) in the northwest and north-centre—in the Barind and the Madhupur Tract, respectively—the plain is a flat surface of recent alluvium, having a gentle slope and an elevation of generally less than 30 feet (9 metres) above sea level. In the northeast and southeast—in the Sylhet and Chittagong Hills areas, respectively—the alluvial plains give place to ridges, running mainly north-south, that form part of the mountains that separate Bangladesh from Myanmar and India. In its southern region, Bangladesh is fringed by the Sundarbans, a huge expanse of marshy deltaic forest.
The Barind is a somewhat elevated triangular wedge of land that lies between the floodplains of the upper Padma and Jamuna rivers in northwestern Bangladesh. A depression called the Bhar Basin extends southeast from the Barind for about 100 miles (160 km) to the confluence of the Padma and Jamuna. This area is inundated during the summer monsoon season, in some places to a depth exceeding 10 feet (3 metres). The drainage of the western part of the basin is centred in the vast marshy area called the Chalan wetlands, also known as Chalan Lake. The floodplains of the Jamuna, which lie north of the Bhar Basin and east of the Barind, stretch from the border with Assam in the north to the confluence of the Padma and Jamuna in the south. The area is dominated by the Jamuna, which frequently overflows its banks in devastating floods. South of the Bhar Basin is the floodplain of the lower Padma.
In north-central Bangladesh, east of the Jamuna floodplains, is the Madhupur Tract. It consists of an elevated plateau on which hillocks ranging in height from 30 to 60 feet (9 to 18 metres) give contour to cultivated valleys. The Madhupur Tract contains sal trees, whose hardwood is comparable in value and utility to teak. East of the Madhupur Tract, in northeastern Bangladesh, is a region called the Northeastern Lowland. It encompasses the southern and southwestern parts of the Sylhet area (including the valley plain of the Surma River) and the northern part of the Mymensingh area and has a large number of lakes. The Sylhet Hills in the far northeast of the region consist of a number of hillocks and hills ranging in elevation from about 100 feet (30 metres) to more than 1,100 feet (330 metres).
In east-central Bangladesh the Brahmaputra River in its old course (the Old Brahmaputra River) built up the flood basin of the Meghna River, the region that includes the low and fertile Meghna-Sitalakhya Doab (the land area between those rivers). This area is enriched by the Titas distributary, and land areas are formed and changed by the deposition of silt and sand in the riverbeds of the Meghna River, especially between Bhairab Bazar and Daudkandi. Dhaka is located in this region.
In southern Bangladesh the Central Delta Basins include the extensive lakes in the central part of the Bengal Delta, to the south of the upper Padma. The basin's total area is about 1,200 square miles (3,100 square km). The belt of land in southwestern Bangladesh bordering the Bay of Bengal constitutes the Immature Delta. A lowland of some 3,000 square miles (7,800 square km), the belt contains, in addition to the vast mangrove forest known as the Sundarbans, the reclaimed and cultivated lands to the north of it. The area nearest the Bay of Bengal is crisscrossed by a network of streams that flow around roughly oblong islands. The Active Delta, located north of the Central Delta Basins and east of the Immature Delta, includes the Dhaleswari-Padma Doab and the estuarine islands of varying sizes that are found from the Pusur River in the southwest to the island of Sandwip near Chittagong in the southeast.
Lying to the south of the Feni River in southeastern Bangladesh is the Chittagong region, which has many hills, hillocks, valleys, and forests and is quite different in aspect from other parts of the country. The coastal plain is partly sandy and partly composed of saline clay; it extends southward from the Feni River to the town of Cox's Bazar and varies in width from 1 to 10 miles (1.6 to 16 km). The region has a number of offshore islands and one coral reef, St. Martin's, off the coast of Myanmar. The hilly area known as the Chittagong Hill Tracts, in the far southeast, consists of low hills of soft rocks, mainly clay and shale. The north-south ranges are generally below 2,000 feet (600 metres) in elevation.
The most significant feature of the Bangladesh landscape is provided by the rivers, which have molded not only its physiography but also the way of life of the people. Rivers in Bangladesh, however, are subject to constant and sometimes rapid changes of course, which can affect the hydrology of a large region; consequently, no description of Bangladesh's topography retains its absolute accuracy for long. One spectacular example of such a change occurred in 1787, when the Tista River underwent exceptionally high flooding; its waters were suddenly diverted eastward, where they reinforced the Brahmaputra. The swollen Brahmaputra in turn began to cut into a minor stream, which by the early 1800s had become the river's main lower course, now known as the Jamuna. A much smaller river (the Old Brahmaputra) now flows through the Brahmaputra's former course.
Each year between June and October, the rivers overflow their banks and inundate the countryside, rising most heavily in September or October and receding quickly in November. The inundations are both a blessing and a curse. Without them, the fertile silt deposits would not be replenished, but severe floods regularly damage crops and ruin hamlets and sometimes take a heavy toll on human and animal populations.
The rivers may be divided into five systems: (1) The Padma (or Ganges) and its deltaic streams, (2) the Meghna and the Surma river system, (3) the Jamuna and its adjoining channels, (4) the North Bengal rivers, and (5) the rivers of the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the adjoining plains.
The greater Ganges is the pivot of the deltaic river system of the historical region of Bengal. The greater Ganges Delta covers some 23,000 square miles (60,000 square km), the bulk of it in southwestern Bangladesh. The Ganges in Bangladesh is known as the Padma, and it is divided into two segments, the upper Padma and the lower Padma. The river enters Bangladesh from the west and constitutes, for about 90 miles (145 km), the boundary between Bangladesh and West Bengal. As it flows farther into Bangladesh, the upper Padma forms numerous distributaries and spill channels and reaches its confluence with the Jamuna west of Dhaka, after which their combined waters make up the lower Padma—which, from a hydrological perspective, is the Padma proper. The lower Padma flows southeast to join the Meghna near Chandpur and enters the Bay of Bengal through the Meghna estuary and lesser channels. Except where it is confined by high banks, the upper Padma's main channel changes course every two or three years. Its waters appear muddy owing to the volume of silt carried by the river. Silt deposits build temporary islands that reduce navigability but are so highly fertile that they have been for decades a source of feuds among peasants who rush to occupy them.
The Meghna is formed by the union of the Sylhet-Surma and Kusiyara rivers. These two rivers are branches of the Barak River, which rises in the Nagar-Manipur watershed in India. The main branch of the Barak, the Surma, is joined near Azmiriganj in northeastern Bangladesh by the Kalni and farther down by the Kusiyara branch. The Dhaleswari, a distributary of the Jamuna River, joins the Meghna a few miles above the junction of the lower Padma and the Meghna. As it meanders south, the Meghna grows larger after receiving the waters of several rivers, including the Buriganga and the Sitalakhya.
The Jamuna and its adjoining channels cover a large area from north-central Bangladesh to the Meghna River in the southeast. A number of rivers enter the Jamuna, especially from the west, and, with their notoriously shifting channels, they not only prevent permanent settlement along the Jamuna's banks but also inhibit communication between the northern area of Bangladesh and the eastern part, where Dhaka is situated.
The Tista is the most important water carrier of northwestern Bangladesh. Rising in the Himalayas near Sikkim, India, it flows southward, turning southeast near Darjiling (Darjeeling) to enter Bangladesh, where it eventually meets the Jamuna. The shoals and quicksand that surround the junction of the two rivers render navigation of the Tista's lower reaches difficult.
Four main rivers constitute the river system of the Chittagong Hills and the adjoining plains—the Feni, the Karnaphuli, the Sangu, and the Matamuhari. Flowing generally west and southwest across the coastal plain, they empty into the Bay of Bengal. Of these rivers the longest is the Karnaphuli, which is dammed at Kaptai, about 30 miles (50 km) upstream from its mouth near the city of Chittagong.
None of the major rivers of Bangladesh originates within the country's territory. The headwaters of the Surma are in India; the upper Padma rises in Nepal and the Jamuna in China, but they too reach Bangladesh across Indian territory. Thus, Bangladesh lacks full control over the flow of any of the streams that irrigate it. The construction of a barrage upstream at Farakka in West Bengal has led to the diversion of a considerable volume of water from the Ganges in India, and the flow to western Bangladesh is insufficient in the dry season, from November to April. The equitable distribution of the river's waters has been since the 1970s a source of friction between India and Bangladesh.
There are three main categories of soils in Bangladesh: the old alluvial soils, the recent alluvial soils, and the hill soils, which have a base of sandstone and shale. The fertile recent alluvial soils, found mainly in flooded areas, are usually clays and loams, variously pale brown, sandy, chalky, and mica-laden. They are deficient in phosphoric acid, nitrogen, and humus but not in potash and lime. The old alluvial soils in the jungles of the Barind and Madhupur regions are dark iron-rich brown or reddish clays and loams. They are sticky during the rainy season and hard during the dry periods. The hill soils are generally permeable and can support dense forest growth.
Bangladesh has a typical monsoon climate characterized by rain-bearing winds, moderately warm temperatures, and high humidity. In general, maximum temperatures in the summer months, from April to September, are in the low to mid-90s F (mid-30s C). April is the warmest month in most parts. The range of high temperatures in the winter months, from November to March, is greater than in the summer months. January is the coolest month, with high temperatures averaging in the mid- to upper 70s F (mid-20s C).
The conditions of lowest atmospheric pressure occur in Bangladesh in June and July, the storm season. Winds are mostly from the north and northeast in winter, blowing gently in northern and central areas and somewhat more aggressively near the coast. During the period of the northwesters (strong winds from the northwest) from March to May, however, wind speeds may rise to 40 miles (65 km) per hour.
Bangladesh receives heavy rainfall; except for some parts in the west, it generally exceeds 60 inches (1,500 mm) annually. Large areas of the south, southeast, north, and northeast typically receive from 80 to 100 inches (2,000 to 2,500 mm), and the northern and northwestern parts of the Sylhet area usually receive from 150 to 200 inches (3,800 to 5,000 mm). The maximum rainfall occurs during the monsoon period, from June to September or early October.
Storms of very high intensity often occur early in the summer (in April and May) and late in the monsoon season (September to October, and sometimes November). These disturbances may produce winds with speeds exceeding 100 miles (160 km) per hour, and they may generate waves in the Bay of Bengal that crest as high as 20 feet (6 metres) before crashing with tremendous force onto the coastal areas and the offshore islands, causing heavy losses of life and property. Since the early 18th century, when records were first kept, more than 1,000,000 people have been killed in such storms, some 815,000 of them in just three storms occurring in 1737, 1876, and 1970.

Living in a city often means being cut off from the source of one's food - unless you're lucky enough to have a garden.
But there are other ways to grow your own fruit and vegetables, even in the confines of a tiny flat. A new book, Edible Cities, celebrates the urban individuals who have embraced growing their own - be it through a balcony garden, or more unconventional means.
Many of them are adherents to the idea of 'permaculture' - sustainable agricultural practices that are based on nature's own processes.
In this extract from Edible Cities, three individuals from different parts of the world explain how they have brought nature into their homes.
Vienna: an inside garden
Tomatoes climbing a window
Where there is light, there can be veg. This domestic project in the heart of Vienna shows how this can be made true even in very little space.
Idea: Doris S. (36) runs a bookshop
Place: 60m2, south facing 2-bedroom flat, top floor of an old tenement block, 2nd district, Vienna
Project: Indoor crops
What inspired you to create your edible flat in the middle of Vienna?
Doris S: "I learned from my grandmother how much fruit, vegetables and herbs can be grown in a garden. I still remember the taste of freshly picked fruit in my childhood. These days, the stuff I buy at the supermarket never tastes as good as that. In my city flat I used to have cress, parsley and basil in pots, which I threw out as soon as they were harvested. Then I watched some videos about urban gardening in New York, which showed that I could do things differently. So I bought big planters and put them on every available surface – on the windowsills, above radiators, on shelves. I painted the planters white which made them look good in my flat. Then I filled them with soil partly from outside, partly from a garden centre, and sowed tomatoes and lettuce."
What does your indoor garden mean to you?
DS: "It's great to always have something growing in my flat. Tomatoes are climbing up inside the window like a curtain made by nature. It's like being in a garden. I also like knowing where my food comes from. I don't have to buy dried herbs any more, the air in the flat is better and more moist in winter. The tomatoes deter mosquitoes, so I don't get any of them in the summer now. I thought it would be a lot of work, but it works almost by itself as long as I remember the watering – and the big pots don't dry out very quickly."
Do you compost your kitchen waste?
DS: "Yes, and it means I don't have to replace the soil in the pots nowadays. I simply dig in the scraps or mulch them with fallen or cut-off leaves. It all rots down and I can go on harvesting. My flat gets an awful lot of light, which means I get up to four tomato crops per plant, each year. After each harvest I cut the plants back to a third of their size. I also grow chives and cabbage, and all sorts of herbs."
Switzerland: a balcony garden
View from the balcony
This is something of a classic for city flats that have no access to a garden but do have a balcony of their own. The planting opportunities shown here should encourage anyone to try the same on their own balcony.
Idea and implementation: Fabienne Frölich (45), theatre promoter, and Markus Poelz (36), permaculture designer
Place: Eisengasse, Basle, Switzerland
Project: Balcony crops
Fabienne's balcony faces North, so there is not much sun to play with here. Rainwater captured from downpipes is not an option, and the neighbourhood is very tidy-minded, so most of the surrounding balconies look very sterile. Problem or opportunity? Fabienne Frölich's delightfully designed garden is the visible result of her love relationship with permaculture designer Markus Poelz, whom she met via Facebook.
Markus, what is your background?
Markus Poelz: "It started in my childhood. I grew up in a small village near a lake, where people were always used to producing their own food, timber and firewood. The village had a sawmill, a flour mill and my mother's little grocery store where she sold produce from the surrounding area. In a way, it's always been permaculture. I did many different jobs and came to permaculture as a profession in 2002. That was when I had the chance to help with the establishment of the nearby Berta project [Berta is a holiday resort for disabled people and their families, offering activities in nature.] Later I attended courses with Permaculture Austria and Permaculture in the Alps (PIA). The experience of working on a complex project like Berta helped me develop my own practice. Three years ago I moved to Basle and wanted to find out how permaculture could be applied in the city. Fabienne's balcony was the start. More projects have come up in the meantime, for instance an alpine permaculture farm and some large-scale agricultural businesses. Organic and biodynamic farms are reaching their limits of productivity, so permaculture is the next step."
Fabienne, how did you end up with a permaculture balcony?
Fabienne Frölich: "I joined a permaculture Facebook group, where I met Markus. When he saw my balcony he suggested turning it into a permaculture garden. There was no soil, so we had to start from scratch by making compost. We also had to put up a screen, because the neighbours don't want to see a mess from their windows."
In brief, these were the steps to create Fabienne's fairy garden:
Screen: Willow branches were gathered outside the city and stripped of leaves. If you have metal railings you can weave them between the bars as shown in the picture, or turn them into a hurdle. This also serves to shelter the garden from the wind.
Soil: Old baskets and other containers were lined with cardboard and filled with a mix of shredded garden waste, leftover bits of willow, dust from the vacuum cleaner (including lots of cat hair!), old soil from flower pots and hay. A few worms were also added. A few months later the mixture had turned into excellent compost.
Floor: Initially, Fabienne spread leaves gathered in a nearby forest, later she added pebbles. This makes for a very pleasant texture when stepping onto the balcony barefoot.
Planters: Custom built trays house standard flower pots, without damaging the building fabric.
Irrigation: A plastic bottle turned upside down and filled with water can be put into the pots. Other options are commercial drip irrigation or medicinal drip-feed bottles.
Plants: Mostly shade tolerant herbs and vegetables. Potatoes were tried without success, due to the lack of direct sunlight. A selection of plants:
Watercress (Nasturtium officinale)
Vervain (Verbena officinalis)
Mint geranium (Tanacetum balsamica)
Chinese artichoke (Stachys sieboldii)
Mustard cress (Lepidium sativum)
Lovage (Levisticum officinale)
Scurvygrass (Cochlearia officinalis)
Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris)
New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonoides)
Parsley (Petroselinium crispum)
Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
Lettuce (Lactuca sative)
Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)
Scorzonera (Scorzonera hispanica)
Celeriac (Apium graveolens)
Sweet woodruff (Galium odoratum)
Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum)
Sun-loving herbs were placed on the kitchen windowsill, which catches more light.
Fabienne's small but impressive garden is completed by beech logs with shiitake mushrooms, an insect hotel and a herb dryer made from left-over willow branches.
Fabienne: "The best thing was when I harvested my first own crops – those little potatoes were the best I've ever had, and I was pleased as punch."
Detroit: gardens in abandoned buildings
Raised beds made from old tyres
The former car metropolis of Detroit has fallen on hard times. Decaying public infrastructure, massive job losses and increasing poverty are some of the consequences of this decline. But the city's inhabitants have begun to mobilise and are becoming increasingly able to look after themselves.
Idea: Nathan Ayers (Chiwara Permaculture Research & Education)
Place: Detroit, Michigan, USA
Project: The rebirth of a dying city
Ville Détroit was the original name of Detroit, given to it by its French founders after its location at the strait between two of the Great Lakes. Later it found fame as the birthplace of assembly line production. In 1909, the first T-Model Ford left the factory in the Highland Park area and went on to become the most sold car in the world for decades to come. Detroit's stratospheric rise as a centre of automobile production lasted until the 1950s, when it was known as the America's prettiest city. Since then, the city has been in steady decline. Population numbers have shrunk from over two million to 700,000, and for those remaining conditions have got worse with the recent economic crises and its effect on the automobile industry. Access to food has become an issue for many and public transport and street lighting have been shut down in some parts. Entire skyscraper complexes are standing empty and property prices have dropped so far that some houses can be bought for one single dollar.
For many impoverished and unemployed people, starting to grow their own food is an obvious route to take. As most young people don't have any experience, a number of initiatives have sprung up to provide training for them. While some of these efforts are still working within a conventional model of agriculture, we found a pioneering projectthat incorporate permaculture into their working practices.
Nathan Ayers: "I used to be a teacher in nearby Ann Arbor. After becoming interested in permaculture I went on a permaculture course with Bill Mollison in California in 2009. Detroit with its desperate economic plight seemed to be fertile ground for this kind of holistic land management, so I started to offer courses."
How did you get on?
NA: "We started with a two-week design course in the Highland Park area, which was attended by three project workers and ten college students from the area. This was part of the launch for the GELT programme (Green Economy Leadership Training), and was followed up by nine weeks of practical work in permaculture, energy efficiency, photovoltaics and community work. As our training ground we used four abandoned buildings in Grove Street without power, lighting or water. Our students are young, intelligent and very enthusiastic. The first year we spent largely learning to carefully observe our environment. We built raised beds, herb spirals and cold frames from rubbish. At the same time we started to grow relationships with the local residents, charities and the church.
"In summer 2011, the GELT organisation bought four apartment blocks and a large abandoned site near Highland Park Community High School, a stone's throw from Henry Ford's original T-Model factory. We expanded the programme to 28 students and linked up with the Detroit Black Food Security Network, a local NGO that had been established in 2006. We expanded the permaculture plan to include the whole Highland Park area. Discarded car tyres became raw materials for playground equipment, a secondary school introduced a nature learning programme and built a 30 metre long greenhouse for permaculture-style vegetable growing throughout the year. This is the beginning of local vegetable production and hopefully will contribute to the return of the farmers market that existed here in the past.
"Bartering also has returned to the Motor City. Each hour of work is valued equally – whether it is for carpentry or a visit to the doctor. All this has helped to draw young people to the city, who see a host of new opportunities here. Our next big theme will be livestock and water, of which we have a lot around us in Detroit."

Caltrans welcomes more bikes onboard Capitol Corridor, San Joaquin trains
SACRAMENTO - Rail passengers now have extra space to securely store bikes that previously spilled into aisle-ways, as Caltrans nearly doubles the bicycle capacity on Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin trains.
"There's been a need for additional storage as more and more people ride bicycles on their commute," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "By the end of next year, more than a dozen expanded railcars will be available for train riders."
The first expanded railcar serving Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin passengers went into service today. The lower levels of 13 additional railcars will be converted to increase their bicycle-carrying capacity from three bicycles to 13 bicycles per car, as well as 330 cubic feet of additional luggage storage. This will increase the average bicycle capacity from 12 bikes per train to 22 bikes per train. Construction on the remaining cars will take approximately four weeks per car with each one going into service as it is retrofitted.
Five railcars in use in Northern and Southern California are already equipped with the new design, and future bi-level cars will also have the extra space.
The $8.3 million conversion project, which is fully funded by the Recovery Act, will also enhance Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) access by moving onboard restrooms to a more convenient location near the ADA seating area. To date, Caltrans has paid about $2.3 billion of the $2.6 billion made available to California.
The San Joaquin route operates between Bakersfield, Oakland and Sacramento, and the Capitol Corridor route operates between Auburn and San Jose.
About Amtrak California: Under the Amtrak California banner, Caltrans funds three of the six busiest intercity passenger rail routes in the Amtrak system: the Pacific Surfliner corridor (ranked second), the Capitol Corridor (ranked third), and the San Joaquin corridor (ranked fifth). Caltrans manages both the Pacific Surfliner and San Joaquin corridors. The Capitol Corridor, although funded by Caltrans, is managed by the Capital Corridor Joint Powers Authority.

Over the last few seasons, Thakoon has proven himself to be something of a dark horse – laying relatively low and not succumbing to the increasingly popular, though rather tacky use of front row celebrities to raise the profile of his show, instead relying on his infinite talent, and then boom! Coming out with arguably the most sophisticated and compelling collections of New York fashion week. It was little surprise then, that the innovative designer would wow us once again for Spring/Summer 2012, his penchant for cross-cultural and cross-purpose styles resurfacing, but in an entirely new and unexpected way.
Taking East-meets-West to an entirely new extreme, Thakoon's brilliant – in every sense of the word – collection for spring combined the magnificence of India and the mythical utopia of Shang ri la with the rugged romanticism of America's Wild West. The baroque opulence of New York's Plaza Hotel grand ballroom, a space inundated with gilt ornamentation and immense chandeliers, served as the perfect venue for Thakoon's equally opulent vision. From the gilt ceiling down to the gleaming gold floor and colonial vegetation, the sensory overload reached an all time high as pungent Indian incense burned against a soundtrack merging both cultures – a hint of what was to follow. There was a quiet ruckus from the audience, in obvious rapture at the sight of the very first look: a turquoise silk jacket with marigold paisley overlay paired with a turquoise mini skirt. Cowboy style hats and point-toe shoes, not unlike ankle-length cowboy boots, were paired with traditional Indian textile prints in mad Wild West inspired cuts, along with luxurious gold and paisley detailing consistent throughout. There was even a 50s-era print and metallic full-skirted dress on show, just the thing for a raging desert barn-dance.
Just as the show's concept transcended time and space, so too did the collection –transporting the audience into a world of pure fantasy, where fabled eras and cultures collide in eccentric harmony. It was a much-needed dose of escapism to say the least, on a day where America was on edge - commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

Old subway cars used to go to scrap metal but, since 2001, as many as 2,580 retired subway cars have gone to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
This is part of an effort to build an artificial reef off the East Coast to create habitats for marine life and recreational fishing. The MTA steam cleans the subway cars and strips them down of components that float and decompose before dumping them in the ocean.
Photographer Stephen Mallon spent a couple of years after the start of the artificial reef program documenting the disposal of old subway cars. He has granted us permission to publish his stunning gallery here, also courtesy of Works Artists and The Front Room.

unless you want look original, I think I would contact Edelbrock for one of their packages, heads,intake, cam, and carb.
I agree with above--if your keeping stock appearing( heads date coded ??) See what they are flowing, if they need work . Than email a reputable camshaft company with the info and they can recommend a package. Don't overlook the strength in the rotating assembly. Food for thought ,but 496 assemblies seem to be pretty popular if you need to strengthen and go the route of upgrading. Number one rule is keep everything a package. No weak links. Do your homework and research what you have. Many good websites identifying cast numbers. try: outintheshop.com
Buy a Scat 496 rotating assembly . All you have to do then is make 1 hp/cu inch, a piece of cake.Use a hydraulic roller cam about 220/230 @.050" with about .550" lift. You can use the factory long-slot rocker arms and keep the stock valve covers.Look for oval port heads with a casting # ending in 781 or 049. Have these rebuilt or better yet buy new edelbrock heads. Compression should be ~9.5-1 for cast iron and 10-1 for aluminum.You will have a nice idle and tons of torque. Shift at 5500 to 5800 rpm and have fun without breaking parts.

DOH! I wasn't going to soil this thread with THAT question, but since you brought it up HOW WAS THE 2014 RALLY??? I know, review is coming...curious what they changed from 2013.bigwave wrote:Had a couple of nice days on the 2014 Rally 14m with the new Compstick bar this week in Oliphant On. Pic's and review soon. I hope to be riding the new model Slingshot board this weekend. Its the one Patrick Rebstock is riding on the Slingshot home page.
Ahhh so the rally is more towards surf/alround riding. I used to have a RPM and I loved it! It was so easy to fly and it was really good unhooked although it doesn't have a lot of slack line after you pop. Which is why I switched to the hadlows.MikeYQM wrote:One more day. I cant comment on the changes yet but i can explain the Rally/RPM differences.
The RPM is very versatile bit it is freestyle oriented. It flies further back in the window to deliver more unhooked pop and more power through the kiteloop.
The Rally is called a surf kite, but I tend to refer to it as the all around kite. It flies closer to the edge of the window so it upwinds better, has incredible drift and better low end. It unhooks rather well, but not as much pop as the RPM. Kiteloops are adequate but nothing compared to the RPM or Fuel.
Ranging from Freestyle performance towards all around user comfort i would range them like this: Fuel -> RPM -> Rally

Yesterday, Albert Belle, after being arrested and charged with stalking, pled guilty yesterday and will serve 90 days in jail. He has already served 29 of those, which means he has 61 left, though we bet Belle has added wrong.
The judge emphasized that if he had any more contact with the victim, he would sent him to prison, rather than jail; we respect the judge for resisting the addition of the phrase, "federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison." Belle apologized to the victim, whom, we remind you, had to deal with the fact that Belle had unknowingly installed a GPS device on her car.
We are pleased that Belle confessed to his crime and will be have a couple of months to think it over, though we still think guards should keep an eye out for Jason Grimsley, who may try to break in and bust Belle out. Though he could probably find his way toward the jail on his own, actually.

In a game that will cause some 49ers fans to wonder whether Colin Kaepernick's hand is still hot, the Rams pulled off an unlikely win late in overtime, thanks to a 54-yard field goal from rookie kicker Greg Zuerlein.
Kaepernick's numbers were solid, with 208 passing and 84 rushing. But an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone gave the Rams their first two points, and a bad pitch to Ted Ginn deep in San Fran territory resulted in a touchdown and a two-pointer that tied the game at 10 late in the fourth quarter.
San Francisco still had a chance to win in regulation, but a field goal fueled by a franchise-record (for a quarterback) 50-yard run from Kaepernick was matched by the Rams as time expired with a 53-yarder from Zuerlein.
The win moved the Rams to 5-6-1 on the year — and 4-0-1 in the division. If the Rams (who have now won two in a row) can keep winning, that tie from last month against the 49ers could help St. Louis avoid the tiebreakers with a potential cluster of 9-7 teams.
And the fact that the Rams won in uniforms that the team last used as their regular outfit when St. Louis beat Jeff Fisher's Titans in the Super Bowl likely makes that ensemble a bit less nausea-inducing for Fisher.

Con Law: Chemerinsky . It is certainly long, but it's also comprehensive; you won't need to read the whole thing for what you cover in your class. I used the Evidence E&E and thought it was good.
Don't get the Evidence E&E. The rules of evidence are pretty intricate, and the E&E gives them shallow treatment. Moreover, it does not do a good job differentiating various parts of a given rule. I found the information in it helpful for maybe 10% of the class. My evidence professor last semester had us purchase the following: "COURTROOM EVIDENCE HANDBOOK: 2008-2009 Student Edition" by Steven Goode & Olin Guy Wellborn III. This softcover book was extremely helpful as I made my way through the course. The book has a section devoted to each rule, it starts out with an explanation of a given rules "scope & purpose", and it also provides excerpts from case law applying the rule. I'd go with that instead. Besides, your school's library likely has a copy of the Evidence E&E if you want to occasionally refer to it.
The details in all of the E&Es come in the questions and answers; it may not be the case for you (as there usually are legitimate grounds for this complaint with most supplements), but often when people make this complaint about an E&E it's because they focus on the text, not the questions. It's true with pretty much all supplements, though, that they don't go into as much detail as you will in class. Since I generally used supplements to get the big picture and rely on class/other student's outlines for the minutiae, I found it very helpful. I suppose it depends what you're looking for.

As a mom-to-be, you can make a powerful impression on your baby before she's even born. Avoiding alcohol, smoking, medications and supplements not approved by your doctor can help you have the brightest, healthiest baby possible. So can your diet. Granted, eating perfectly isn't guaranteed to produce a genius or an Olympic athlete, but healthful foods will provide your child with the raw materials to build a vigorous body and brain.
In fact, perhaps the most important role of a healthful prenatal diet (one that emphasizes seasonal, brightly colored fruits and vegetables) is to help nourish your child's growing brain. Babies enter the world with all the neurons — the basic units of the brain and the entire nervous system — they will ever have. And just like the rest of your baby's body, neurons need the proper nourishment. Here's how to give baby what she needs to succeed.
fueling fetal growth
Pregnancy is demanding. "Even the perfect pre-pregnancy diet is no longer adequate once you conceive," says Mary Frances Picciano, Ph.D., professor of nutrition at Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pa. That makes choosing a nutrient-packed diet more important than ever.
It takes 80,000 calories to nourish the rapid growth of your baby's brain and body for nine months. During the first three months, energy needs are negligible, since the baby is only the size of your index finger by the end of the first trimester. Growth begins in earnest around week 14. That's when you'll need 300 extra calories a day to meet the recommended weight-gain goal of 25–35 pounds. Moderately active women require about 2,900 calories daily; very active women may need more.
Skimping on calories to preserve your figure isn't healthy for you or your baby. Inadequate weight gain increases the chance of a low-birth-weight baby (51/2 pounds or less). However, pregnancy is no license to overeat. Moms-to-be who gain too many pounds have been shown to have bigger babies, resulting in difficult deliveries.
Packing protein: 60 grams
Protein supplies the raw materials for the construction of cells, antibodies and the hormones and enzymes that support life. For all of protein's importance, pregnancy boosts protein needs by a mere 10 grams a day, the amount found in 10 ounces of milk or 11/2 ounces of meat, poultry or seafood. Five ounces of meat, chicken or seafood daily, in addition to three servings of milk, yogurt or cheese, satisfies pregnancy protein requirements.
Fish for good fat
Fish contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a polyunsaturated fat that promotes brain growth and strengthens vision in your baby. "Brain and retina cells contain more DHA than nearly any other type of cell," says William Connor, M.D., professor of medicine at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland.
Fattier fish like salmon, trout and bluefish are richest in DHA, but any seafood provides it. In the absence of a recommended dietary allowance for DHA, Connor suggests that pregnant women eat at least one fish meal a week.
B's for brain power
Folate: 600 micrograms
Chances are, you have all the grains you need right on your kitchen shelves. Rice, grits, pasta, cereal, grain products and bread made with enriched flour are fortified with folic acid, which is also found in supplements. (Folic acid is the man-made form of the B vitamin folate.) Folic acid and folate, the umbrella term used to describe both types, can help head off neural-tube defects (NTDs) in babies — incomplete closure of the spinal column or the absence of part of the brain — which can occur within four weeks of conception. Folate also fosters cell production, wards off anemia and helps prevent premature delivery.
While pregnant, you need 600 micrograms of folic acid in your daily diet. Folic acid is the form of choice, because it's absorbed at nearly twice the rate of folate. Nevertheless, folate counts, so it pays to include foods such as legumes (beans, peas, lentils and peanuts), green leafy vegetables and orange juice in your diet.
Vitamin B6: 1.9 milligrams; vitamin B12: 2.6 micrograms
Vitamin B6 is instrumental in the production of neurotransmitters (chemicals that relay messages between neurons), proteins for new cells and antibodies that bolster baby's immune system. According to Picciano, research links low vitamin B6 intake in pregnancy to low scores on the Apgar test, which hospitals use to determine responsiveness of newborns at one and five minutes after birth. Bananas, chicken, pork, tuna fish, whole-wheat bread and nuts supply vitamin B6.
Vitamin B12 — in addition to folate — helps the body produce red blood cells and also converts food calories into energy to help fuel your baby's rapid growth. Naturally occurring vitamin B12 is unique to animal foods. Some of the richest sources include clams, salmon, tuna, yogurt and milk.
Choline: 450 milligrams
Choline is not well-known, but this B-like vitamin is beginning to gain ground with nutritionists. As a component of cell membranes and a neurotransmitter that's responsible for enhanced mental processes, choline may actually make babies smarter.
"Giving pregnant rats supplemental choline produced offspring that learned better and had better memories for their entire lifetimes," says Steven Zeisel, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the department of nutrition at the School of Public Health and Medicine at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. "While the exact effects of choline on humans can't be tested, there's no reason to believe these animal findings can't be translated to humans."
Choline is concentrated in higher-fat foods such as meat, peanuts and eggs (two eggs provide all the choline you need for the day), and you'll probably get enough by eating a wide variety of foods.
Zinc: 15 milligrams
Zinc is essential for cell growth and division, energy production and proper formation of your child's nervous system. Animal foods, including meat, poultry, seafood, yogurt and milk, provide zinc. Oysters are by far the best source, but beans, almonds and wheat germ are also good.
Iron for energy: 30 milligrams
As part of the hemoglobin attached to red blood cells, iron ferries oxygen to a growing baby. Without iron, baby's development falters, while risk of prematurity and low birth weight increases.
Pregnancy doubles a woman's iron needs to 30 milligrams a day. Meat, poultry and seafood are richest in iron. While there's little chance of meeting pregnancy iron needs without a supplement, don't dismiss iron-rich foods.
Calcium counts: 1,000 milligrams
Soon after conception, your body's calcium absorption steps up, which is why you don't need extra calcium during pregnancy. You need 1,000 milligrams a day to protect your bones, since your growing baby takes the calcium she needs to construct her skeleton from your stockpiled stores.
Each serving of milk, yogurt and cheese contains about 300 milligrams of calcium. Strive for at least three servings a day. Examples include 8 ounces of milk or yogurt, 11/2 ounces of hard cheese and 2 cups of cottage cheese.
Look to fortified foods for calcium, too. Calcium-added orange juice supplies as much calcium as milk, and tofu processed with calcium sulfate contains 260 milligrams per 1/2 cup.
five days of SMART EATING
This five-day eating plan provides 100 percent of many nutrients vital to baby's growth and development. (Prenatal iron needs are difficult to satisfy with food; that's why iron supplements are often prescribed in the second and third trimesters.) Talk to your doctor about additional viatmin and mineral supplements. We've provided extra calories as add-ons for later in pregnancy, when calorie needs increase.

Questions?Call us at 1-888-845-6468
While it may seem like a luxury, you will soon find that having power reclining furniture and its customized position capability is a necessity for your home. Customized motion means that you can stop the recliner seat and back with simultaneous movement at whatever position best suits you, whether you need to soothe back pain or sit up and eat a snack while you watch TV. Gentle, power motion is suitable for all levels of mobility, and is as easy to use as a single touch.
When you've got the back of the recliner in the resting position, it's a huge hassle to adjust back to the sitting position for watching TV. Now you can save your neck and maintain a perfect viewing angle for TV or reading with this power headrest recliner. The same gentle power motion that lets you customize the position of your back and legrest allows you to adjust the headrest angle to better cradle your body.
Place this recliner a bit closer to the wall and easily reserve some extra space for moving around your room. Wall recliner mechanisms slide slightly forward instead of straight back when you move to angle the back cushion. You can place this recliner a few inches from the wall and you won't have to worry about reclining back and damaging the wall behind your chair.
This model features the ability to adjust your lumbar support with the touch of a button. Proper lumbar support helps relieve pressure on your back and legs for a more ergonomic position.
Leather match is an industry term that denotes different qualities of material used on different parts of an upholstered piece. Helping make the piece more affordable, top grain leather is used on the parts of the chair or sofa that touch your body, while a lower quality split-grain leather or color-matched vinyl is used on the back and sides. This is very common, especially for reclining furniture, and it doesn't change the sophisticated look of your leather upholstery.
Providing better comfort than the 2 or 3 piece leg rests, this pad over chaise seating gives you better support and comfort. The 1 piece cushion is also safer for children and pets, preventing fingers and toys from getting stuck.
Comfortably inviting, like only a recliner with deep scoop seating, pad-over chaise, and pillow arms can. Once you've accepted the invitation to get comfortable, the fun doesn't stop. This reclining chair features a power headrest, a power lumbar, and an extended footrest, making it easy to find the exact position you desire.
