A little preparation goes a long way on snowy roads
Mon., Dec. 22, 2008
On his way to work last week – a day before the big storm – Spokane sheriff's Sgt. Dave Reagan spotted a driver unable to merge onto U.S. Highway 195 because he failed to scrape his windows and mirror.
Reagan, who doesn't normally make traffic stops, pulled the man over.
Not only was he endangering himself, but he endangered other motorists by not being able to see adequately, Reagan said. It cost the driver $124 for driving with obscured vision, plus a second citation for not having a current registration.
Reagan said the incident shows how important it is to think about safety during winter driving – from the condition of your vehicle and supplies on board to the driving techniques that can be employed to keep you out of trouble.
Thursday there were a lot of drivers who wished they had a shovel in the trunk when their cars got bogged down in deep snow, and more than a few people would have loved to have had tire chains with them.
Experts recommend keeping a small supply of traction sand as well as emergency markers, extra clothing and blankets, fresh water and a little food – just in case.
But once the car starts to roll, there are a lot of tips that can make the difference in getting there safely.
"The two most critical factors are speed and distance," Reagan said about driving on snow and ice.
Slow down and increase distances between your vehicle and anything else. That means put more room between you and other vehicles and start slowing down well in advance of any stops or corners.
Here is what sends emergency workers up the wall: Nearly every time it snows, especially the first big snowfall of the season, drivers barrel along as if nothing were different.
Speed sensors embedded in Interstate 90 proved that Wednesday. When the freeway started to ice up, the sensors showed that motorists were still averaging 50 to 60 mph in many stretches. Quite a few of them slowed down the hard way, when they crashed in the trouble spots of east Spokane, the Sunset Hill and the Northwest Boulevard area in Coeur d'Alene.
Dozens of accidents occurred, some in chain-like succession.
Reagan said speed limits are set for good road conditions during daylight hours. Anything less than optimum conditions should compel drivers to ease off the gas, especially on snow and ice.
Another must: Use a gentle touch on the accelerator, steering wheel and brake pedal. Slowing down will help you anticipate red lights and get the vehicle stopped more quickly.
If you begin to slide, let off the gas, do not brake, and turn the wheel gently into the direction of the slide. If the car fishtails, turn the wheel back in the other direction, continuing the corrective steering until the vehicle comes under control. Only then should you apply the brake or gas. Use a little less steering motion than the slide for best results.
The most efficient braking involves keeping the wheels turning. If the wheels lock and start to slide, back off the brake until the wheels start to turn again. Reagan said officers are taught a technique called "threshold braking" that involves applying the maximum pressure that does not lock the wheels.
While driving on plowed roads, you will find more traction in the strips of loose snow and sand typically left along the middle and sides of the roadway. Put the wheels on one side of the vehicle onto one of the strips to improve traction.
Steering is best done gently and slowly. A little bit of sliding is OK; a lot is bad. The key is to have the vehicle going where you want it, not where the sliding motion forces you.
The same goes for accelerating. To move away from a stop, let off the brake and let the idle carry the car a few feet before stepping on the gas gently. Add pressure as the vehicle gains a little momentum.
If you get stuck, a back-and-forth rocking motion will create a path matched to your wheels that allows you to gain momentum and break free.
As for visibility from inside the vehicle, the law requires at a minimum that a motorist be able to see out of a left and right mirror or a left and center (rearview) mirror, Reagan said.
While you are cleaning off snow and ice, make sure your head and taillights are clean. They work better that way.
Holiday patrol
Washington State Patrol troopers and other law officers will put additional effort into getting drunken drivers off the road during the holidays.
"It is well-known that during this time of year, holiday parties are held on Friday and Saturday evenings. This year there will be additional troopers working overtime shifts on those days in an effort to reduce the number of alcohol-related collisions," the WSP said in a press release.
The 2007 holiday season saw 31 deaths caused by drunken drivers.

AS Roma coach Aurelio Andreazzoli has played down Francesco Totti's clash with AC Milan defender Philippe Mexes.
During yesterday's 0-0 draw, Totti followed in stoppages for lashing out an elbow on his former teammate Mexes.
"Totti is friends with Mexes, so I think he didn't realise who it was behind him. He was dragged back two or three times and lost his cool.
"It was a shame to see Muntari sent off too, because it would've been better for all of us to play to our best. I wanted it to be a real test ahead of the Coppa Italia Final with Lazio.
"I didn't see the incident with Kevin Constant, but my players told me it was a clear penalty. It was close to the goalline referee, so I expect he had a good view."

Mischa likes to spice things up when it comes to sex and this latest handjob video from TugJobs.com is proof of how creative she can be when she's in the right mood. The gorgeous babe manages to find a way to incorporate glow bracelets into her handjob-giving session and the result will leave you both amazed and turned on.
It takes a very special kind of girl to balance giving a handjob with playing with glow bracelets but Mischa was born to do that shit, in fact it all comes naturally to her. She kicks off the fun without the glowing accessories as she takes off her pants to show off her shapely ass and trimmed pussy. She then puts her clothes back on and moves indoor where she gets on her knees so she can play with the big dong being thrust into her face. The brunette cutie lubes it up real good and then slides glow bracelets down the length of the shaft while putting some around her own hands. There is no need for a cock ring here since the glowing circles around the big erect dick get the job done right.
Mischa smiles with satisfaction as she strokes the monster cock. Her hands twist and turn around the length of the shaft and she looks directly into the camera as the pace of her stroking increases. The sexy babe with small perky tits splits the very colorful bracelets into two and uses them in conjunction with her own hands to drive her lover insane with ecstasy. The combination of the sensational handjob and the cooling feeling from the bracelets is enough to make the lucky man shoot out his creamy load.

Ithaca Commons Reviews
581 reviews
Ithaca Commons Jul 03, 2011
This where the action is - Ithaca Commons is a pedestrian-only block at the heart of downtown. Hosting the typical variety of restaurants and retail stores you'd expect in a college town (i.e., wide range of ethnic cuisine, head shops, used book stores), the Commons is a broad avenue populated with plenty of places to spread out and relax. Many of the seating and sheltered areas are adorned with tasteful flora and funky pieces of art, making it enjoyable without any need to shop.
Of course all the college kids cruising the strip contribute a hip vibe to the scene, and I paused several times to take in impromptu break dancing and performances by street musicians. If you are visiting Ithaca, this is the place to be – you'll have to stop by at least once to grab a good meal or do some souvenir shopping – but I walked down here all three evenings in town to savor dinner and just groove with the locals, an excellent place to relax!

Former SNS Property Board Member Groenhof Said to Be Arrested
Buck Groenhof, former board member at SNS Reaal NV's failed property unit, and an assistant were arrested by Dutch prosecutors for possible bribery, fraud and money laundering, said two people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because they're not authorized to speak publicly.
The Dutch Fiscal Information and Investigation Service searched the homes and an office of two suspects that were arrested yesterday, the Dutch Public Prosecutor said in a statement on its website today. Esther Schreur, spokeswoman for the prosecutors' office in The Hague, declined to identify them.
Groenhof didn't respond to an e-mail and voice-mail to his mobile phone and his lawyer Jerry Hoff couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Groenhof resigned from the board of SNS Property Finance on Oct. 1, the company said in November.
The Dutch government took control of SNS Reaal on Feb. 1 after losses brought the company to the brink of collapse. The state will inject 2.2 billion euros of capital, write down 800 million euros on an earlier aid package and use 700 million euros to put the real estate portfolio at arm's length.
Dutch newspapers including NRC Handelsblad reported Groenhof's arrest earlier today.
The two suspects can be held in custody for three days and prosecutors may ask for an extension, Schreur said.
SNS Reaal said it filed charges against a former board member of its property finance unit after an internal probe into possible conflicts of interest initiated last year. It didn't identify the ex-employee. Several externally-hired people were suspended, the Utrecht, Netherlands-based firm said in a statement today.
In November, the company denied a newspaper report that Groenhof allegedly used the bank for personal benefit, saying an internal probe found there were no grounds for the allegations.

Corpus Christi Army Depot
The depot installed a system designed to extend the life of water based machine coolant oils. The recovery unit was designed to purify and remove via ultrafiltration, metal filings, odor causing bacteria, dirt and other solids from machine oils during their actual use and without shutdown of the equipment. The first three units were purchased fromHyde Products, Inc. of Cleavland, OH and became operational in 1992. The units have the capacity to filter 100 gallons per hour.
Environmental Benefits:
The system can increase life of the coolant by four fold. This has lead to the reduction of hazardous waste coolant of 3,146 gallons or 28,000 pounds per year.
Details of Reductions
Additional Information :
The three units cost $93,000 and have reduced operating costs by $30,000 per year with better product finishes and increased production rates. Savings from disposal alone were $13,720 a year.

Home Retail Group, which controls Homebase and Argos, has crashed into the red.
The retailer slumped to a first-half loss of £437m after writing down more than half a billion pounds from the value of Homebase. The write-down, which had been flagged, is an admission that HRG paid too much for the retailer. It bought the business from the private-equity group Permira for £900m in 2002.
Even without the write-down, profits for the six months to the end of August were well down, falling 22% to £106m, with a 14% decline at Argos and a 37% slump at Homebase.
Terry Duddy, chief executive, warned that trading conditions had "worsened in recent weeks". Like-for-like sales at Argos and Homebase are down about 9% on 2007 levels. If there is no pick-up in trade, he said, profits would be at the bottom of City expectations, at some £327m, compared with £426m last year. The dividend payout, however, has been maintained.
"We have had like-for-like sales at negative levels in Argos that we have never seen before," he said. "The worst week was in mid-September, when the Lloyds TSB-HBOS merger deal went through."
The outlook for retailers, he said, was "depressing". Planning, he added, was particularly difficult because "we have never had a period where there has been so much lack of clarity".
The retailer is clamping down on costs. New stores have been put on hold to reduce capital expenditure and the hours worked by staff in stores have been cut by 20%. "Will I say there won't be any job losses going forward?" Duddy said. "That's not possible."
Duddy said the figures proved that all income groups were being hit by the downturn because all income groups shopped at Argos. "About 70% of UK households have shopped with us in the last 12 months and are they being hit hard? Yes, they are," he said.
"People have been saying 'what has happened to my savings?' and 'what has happened to my pension?' The next thing is going to be 'what is going to happen to my job?' So it is not surprising there's a certain lack of confidence."
HRG also said it would be harder to keep prices down on general merchandise - goods that are neither food nor clothing. Half of all general merchandise sold in Britain is made in China and the far east. "We are not going to be able to buy currency cheaper; we are not going to get freight costs cheaper or source the product any cheaper," Duddy said.
The HRG boss's gloomy outlook came as the market research group Verdict said that retailers were facing "the toughest trading environment ever".
Verdict is predicting consumer spending growth of 2% in the last three months of this year - compared with 3.1% last year - a rise that will be almost entirely due to inflation in food prices. Neil Saunders, Verdict director, said sales and margins would take a hit and warned retailers that they would have to "work an awful lot harder than they have done".
HRG shares closed up 2.75p at 196.75p. A year ago they were at 436p.
David Jeary, an Investec analyst, still rates the shares a buy. "As the latest trading update shows, the group is not immune from pressures of consumer demand, but we believe its relative performance will be superior to other bigger-ticket retailers."
However, Sam Hart at the broker Charles Stanley is urging investors to reduce their holdings. "The risk remains on the downside. The risk of a dividend cut also appears to be increasing."

Sounds good, but the 160km ride wanted entries in 3 weeks ago, and the 'Slicks n Nobblies' sportive has no info about it on their website.
There's only a week to go till the inaugural Peak District Cycling Festival, and the agenda has been published with over 60 rides catering to everyone from the beginner rider through to seasoned road and off-road cyclists.
Events include Breeze rides for women and female-friendly bike maintenance courses, mountain bike tours for beginners, introductions to bike orienteering and sportives.
Rides range from 6k to 160k, and for the less energetic there are film events and food and drink to enjoy.
Many of the events showcase the region's 65 mikes of traffic free trails in stunning landscapes.
Annie Last, patron of the Peak District Cycling Festival, told Bakewell Today: "The first-ever Peak District Cycling Festival offers a fabulous opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy fun, fresh air and fitness surrounded by some of the UK's most breathtaking landscapes.
"I was lucky enough to grow up here. Now, as a professional cyclist, I love to return between international events to train on a variety of roads, tracks and challenging trails in Britain's first National Park, amid wonderful, yet accessible countryside.
"I'd encourage everyone from beginners to experts to get on their bike and book ahead to explore some of the best cycling country they'll ever experience. It's good for both the head and the heart – as well as the very best way to get around."
Jim Dixon, chief executive of the Peak District National Park Authority said: "The Peak District is fantastic for cycling and offers such a variety of routes, there really is something for everyone.
"I hope the Festival will encourage more people to cycle in their everyday lives – for travel to work or the shops, as well as enjoying two wheels to experience the national park countryside."

After an unpromising start, having to be bribed by her parents to learn to ride without stabilisers, Sarah became rather keener on cycling in her university years, and was eventually persuaded to upgrade to proper road cycling by the prospect of a shiny red Italian bike, which she promptly destroyed by trapping a pair of knickers in the rear derailleur. Sarah writes about about cycling every weekend on road.cc.

Culture Supersedes Religion in Establishing National Identity
By Promod Puri
Culture is a distinctive feature of one group of people comprising of several aspects. One of them is religion, and the others are language, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. Obviously, one aspect of a culture does not represent the totality of it.
The expression "Hindu culture" is as vague as saying Hindu cuisine (except by airlines referring to "Hindu meal"). And it is as much blurred as trying to contrive a language, music, arts, customs, etc with suffix of Hindu. This applies to all other religions as well who try to create a culture exclusively linked to their faiths.
Culture in most cases is secular in nature.
When we talk about a cultural community, we mean an all inclusive explicit way of life. It represents all the group of people sharing common identities despite belonging to different religious denominations. But all speaking same language and sharing same social and cultural traits.
Often people of one cultural community have several religions. These sub differentiations are covered by conventions and customs. Together these are represented by the sanctified rituals on which Hindu tradition, Sikh, Muslim or Christian traditions establish their respective identities.
The unity of India lies in its cultural plurality. This factor was the basis of states' reorganization at the time of India's independence in 1947. Each state was constituted representing the cultural homogeneity of that region. And wherever there were more than one homogeneity states split respectively. Thus the cultural aspirations of people have been adequately addressed.
"India is a colorful country" mainly because of the exuberant nature of its diverse cultures. The cultural sameness in each Indian state along with the religious diversity is the accepted model for both political and administrative purposes.
Whereas each Indian state mostly represent one single cultural distinctiveness, it is the state of Jammu and Kashmir which within itself does carry more than one identity. The state has three regions, namely Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. And each one of them is culturally, religiously, geographically and even climatically different. Azad Kashmir under Pakistan domain has its own identity which is again quiet varied from rest of Jammu and Kashmir state.
The Kashmir problem has never been examined and tackled from its diversity aspect. The politics of the state has always been dominated, controlled and represented by the Muslim leadership of the Valley from the Kashmir region. The multi-facet and heterogeneous character of the state is the undetermined reality which otherwise can play a dominant role in resolving the Kashmir problem. Aligning the issue only on religious basis because about 64 percent of the state's population is Muslim is a futile exercise to determine its fate. By not allowing the diversity factor in the Kashmir debate is suppression of its other identities as well.
In a democratic setup regions or nations which play only the religious factor in politics and governance, always have cultural identity crisis.
That has been the fate of Pakistan. It does not recognize and accept that the country's cultural affinity lies with India which it can't shake off. Both the political and military leaderships of the country in their hatred toward India try to establish a religious-based Arabic identity. Naturally, this is not working.
Pakistan must realize that cultural-based identities cut across religious-based identities. And the former can play more decisive and healthier roles in determining a cohesive and stable future for the country.
Pakistan may find some motivation from the Canadian society, not from its mostly racist governments, as how this multi- ethnic nation is establishing its national identity.
In a diverse Canadian society there are a multitude of cultures, traditions and religions, with lot more sub banners within each group. It is a myriad with a diversified web which gives Canada an image of acceptance and tolerance.
This evolutionary trend is being established despite the known retrogressive and discriminatory policies embraced by most Canadian governments over the years particularly toward the First Nation and visible minorities.
The Canadian cultural plurality is a unique experience in human social history which is trying to weave a frictionless social fabric from its distinct and assorted fibers. This multi-facet aspect gives Canada the color and character of being ever involving and exciting.

Yes. In the drug book I have, it lists benadryl as an anti-tussive (cough suppressant). There are sooo many drugs that are given for other reasons (allergies, pain meds, anti-nausea, etc) that are cough suppressants as well. i/e hydrocodone (one brand name is lortab) is also a cough suppressant, phenergan (anti nausea) is also a cough suppressant...Of course the examples I gave are rx and not recommended for children. benadryl would be fine, just give the recommended dosage for their age/weight.

I have been tested to be allergic to dust/ dust mites. After a couple of minutes of coughing and spiting out and having a tablet of Benadryl allergy medication, things are pretty normal. The above mentioned reactions happen mostly in morning.

I'm a 52
maile who is athletic and in good shape. 3 years ago, I went through a period of approximately 2-3 weeks in which I felt fatigued, throat wasn't sore, but felt a little irritated, and had some sinus pressure. I had assumed it was some type of allergy, which I had never had in my life. Things got back to normal and I didn't think any more of it. Yesterday, I started feeling the same way.

Respiratory support should be available, and the dosage should be increased stepwise as tolerated (approximately 5 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent at
- to 3-day intervals until marked clinical improvement or a
of 50 mg/day is reached). Dose reductions of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor may be required as symptoms improve, which often may be delayed and gradual.

Hi Everyone, I'll try to make this as short as possible. I'm a 27
my entire life I've been blessed with good health and no known illnesses, problems, or allergies. For the past six months I've been suffering from chronic hives. The first time I broke out into severe hives was July 2013. Prior to this, I've never had hives or been know to have any allergies. I saw the doctor a few times and the dermatologist.

He has gotten better with age and we have never considered surgery since heis well contolled with meds. Gary was on Prevacid from
until last
. Last
our insurance stopped covering Prevacid so we had to switch to Prilosec which they cover 100% It has worked well though the dosage is higher. When GW is doing well he takes breaks from the meds. This is mostly in the summer since he is less stressed when school is out and eats better.

The DR put him on keppra (in which had too many side effects), then Topamax and valium, in which he stayed on
months. He continued to have the seizures, sometimes 4 a day, and sometimes 3 days in between them. At this point he was 17 months old, and after researching the effects of topamax online myself and no seizures for 4 weeks, I slowly and correctly weaned him off of the medication all together. He has had no seizure since then....

Not breathing well through your nose can alter your heart rate and blood pressure, as well as to increasing your stress response. Your nose makes about
pints of mucous every day. If your nose isn't working properly and mucous isn't cleared, the stagnant mucous can lead to infections such as sinusitis or ear infections. Lastly, not breathing well through your nose can aggravate snoring or obstructive sleep apnea.

It causes me to have spasm coughing and if I cannot control this to 3 or 4 coughs my windpipe closes over making it hard to breath in or out. The last one about
years ago stopped me breathing in and out completely

Hi, I am a 26
female from Southeastern Georgia, who has been experiencing some pretty unrelenting symptoms for three years. My doctor's have tried to pinpoint a condition that could be causing these symptoms. Looking at my laboratory testing done on December 4th, I see that my Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Erythrocyte, Potassium, and Creatinine levels are all low, this has not been a problem up until now. Each of which seems to decrease in value each time I have labs done.

months of a massive respiratory infection this winter and 28 days of Levaquin, came out of it with adult onset asthma and multiple allergies.

Fontanez's Versatility Helps Career, Scrappers
Fontanez, the Indians' 24th round pick in the 2008 Draft out of Puerto Rico, is smallish in stature at 5'11 and 170-pounds and just turned 20-years old a few weeks back. He has long been considered suspect with the bat, but gifted with the glove where he has plus range and a plus arm at shortstop.
That expertise is now being put to the test this season with him playing on the other side of the infield this year as he is splitting his time between the comforts of shortstop and the unknowns of second base. That ability to pick it with the glove but a lack of a reliable bat has many thinking he could be a utility option down the road as his professional career reaches the upper levels of the minors or potentially the big leagues.
With that in mind, the Indians have had Fontanez play a lot of second base this year at short season Single-A Mahoning Valley, a position that prior to this season he had never really focused on playing before.
"Everything feels great, and I am having a great time here with the guys," said Fontanez in a recent interview for the IPI. "[The Indians and I] actually talked more about me playing more second base [this year]. I have never really been at second base because since I was like six years old I was at shortstop. I only worked at second base in extended [spring training] for like 15 games this year, but I think it is a pretty good position for me."
Fontanez has played second base in the past, but it is still a change he is adjusting to and trying to become more comfortable with. He worked out in the offseason with big league utility infielder Alex Cora, which was valuable for him in picking up some of the nuances at second base.
"I worked out in the offseason a little bit with Alex Cora from my hometown, so we worked quite a little bit at shortstop," said Fontanez. "Also, because he had played second base he was teaching me to play second base because I [am] a little guy and when [I] move up I will play more second base than shortstop. So I actually worked one or two months with him at second base."
The change from shortstop to second base can take some time to get used to as everything is backwards with the way balls come off the bat, how double plays are turned, the handling of cutoff responsibilities, and so on. But, to him, the hardest adjustment has definitely been turning the double play, especially those started by the third baseman.
"I think the hardest thing at second base is the ball in the hole and when you have to make the double play," said Fontanez. "You have to throw it backwards and use more of your arm and have quick feet. I also think the rushed double play from the third baseman [is hard]."
Fontanez is also bilingual as he can speak both Spanish and English fluently, so a versatile player like him who can fluently speak the two primary languages in baseball certainly has appeal from a team standpoint. While Spanish is his native language, his dad taught him English since 5th grade and he picked it up from watching lots of cartoons like Tom & Jerry and Scooby Doo.
The utility role is something Fontanez does not want to pigeon hole himself into now; however, if he is being realistic, it is where he best fits in the future considering his lack of a reliable bat. To date, in 29 games with Mahoning Valley he is hitting just .198 (22-111) with 0 HR, 3 RBI and a .532 OPS. Clearly his ability to run, play defense, and his overall intelligence as a player will be his biggest assets as he looks to climb the minor league ladder to potentially reach the big leagues.
"[The Indians] know I can play shortstop, so I think they are trying to make me a second baseman to see if I can play both," said Fontanez. "Maybe in time I can be a two-way player in the big leagues at shortstop and second base. I would rather be a starter than a utility player, but the main goal is to reach the big leagues. That's it."

Rye United scored seven times during a crazy last 20 minutes to win 9-1 at home to AFC Uckfield on Saturday.
Goals from Matt Maclean and Andy Atkin appeared to have put Rye in command of the Sussex County Football League Division One match during the opening quarter only for a goalkeeping mistake to let Uckfield back in it.
It remained 2-1 until the final quarter when Maclean bagged his second and then the floodgates opened. Dominic Clarke scored a seven-minute hat-trick after coming off the bench, Sam Adams bagged a brace and Atkin got his second.
Elsewhere in the same division, Sidley United held leaders Peacehaven & Telscombe to a goalless draw at Gullivers - a massive improvement on the 9-1 drubbing they took in August's reverse fixture.
Little Common consolidated third place in Division Two with a 2-0 win at home to Rustington. Both goals came in the second half with Jared Lusted putting Common in front before Jamie Crone added a late second.
Westfield considered themselves fairly unfortunate to lose 2-1 away to fourth-placed Broadbridge Heath, a reversal of the result from the game at Westfield earlier in the season. Nathan Russell scored the goal.
A heavily depleted Bexhill United side was beaten 4-1 away to second-placed Littlehampton Town. Linton Rogers netted the consolation in only Bexhill's second league defeat of the season.

Anglu topikas Traveling
To day my topic is about Travelling and I am going to tell you about my most impressive travel which I have ever had in my life. But first I would like to say something about travelling, what it is mean for me. Well, it is one of the opportunities to relax, to forget about our daily life, routine and even to become better man, but later about that. Now I would like to discus what preparations before travelling do we usually make? So, I think so that each of us make something before some trip, somebody can't leave home before paying bills, somebody, maybe makes a party before going away, what about me, so I just make a list of all stuffs and things which will be need for me. After that I put it to my bag and check that they all are there.

POLITICUS; Who Stands With Iran's Opposition?
By JOHN VINOCUR
Published: February 1, 2011
PARIS -- Excruciating new problems never nullify the old ones. In the case of Iran's potential nuclear threat, Egypt's gathering implosion -- joined by some new elements of concern -- is only more bad news for the West.
For a month or so, a kind of notional pause on Iran had been in order, a seeming parenthesis of respite and reflection: a departing Israeli spy chief's estimate of a due-date for the mullahs' capacity to build nukes pushed it off three years into the future; a fruitless meeting with Iran in Istanbul was portrayed as going well in terms of Russia and China's cooperation with the United States and its allies; the effect of sanctions and other measures taken against the Iranian leadership was described by Washington as successful to the point of being ''underreported'' by the news media.
And now? A situation in Egypt where the West, including the Obama administration, looks both challenged in articulating its support for the protesters shaking an apparently futureless regime in Cairo and unwilling to openly assert that it wants a successor to Hosni Mubarak who would hold to his clear line against Iran becoming a nuclear power.
In Tehran, the mullahs have been comparing the wobbling Mubarak regime to the fall of the shah in 1979.
Indeed, a better comparison might be with the circumstances around the mullahs' stolen election in 2009. At the time -- and since -- President Barack Obama of the United States didn't (and hasn't) offered either verbal or practical backing to the Iranian opposition against a government whose history of oppression and contempt for the law is well documented, and well known.
Now check out this cornucopia of emerging and baleful ironies relating to Iran that might be delighting the mullahs:
The man mentioned in Washington as a possible leader of a caretaker government in preparation for an election in Egypt is Mohamed ElBaradei, the former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the global nuclear watchdog.
Over the weekend, the French newspaper Le Figaro described Mr. ElBaradei's tenure as bent on minimizing the danger of Iran's nuclear program. Its security affairs writer quoted a former French high representative at the agency as saying of the Egyptian, who was given the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership at I.A.E.A.: ''He systematically underestimated the progress of the Iranian program, used deliberately vague language, and concealed certain essential elements. He contributed to delaying sanctions against Iran.''
Washington provided the irony: An American official, referring to the Egyptian, said: ''He's shown an independence from us that will squelch any argument he's doing our bidding.''
Russia's moment of seeming helpfulness involving Iran may be replaced by another attempt by Moscow to wield its cooperation on the issue as a new quid pro quo.
At the Istanbul conference just over a week ago, the Russian foreign minister, Sergey V. Lavrov, called for sanctions on Iran to be reduced rather than strengthened, Reuters reported. Russia has since urged NATO to investigate the successful cyberattacks, origin unknown, on Iran's Russian-made nuclear reactors. And President Dmitri A. Medvedev, speaking at Davos last week almost a year after a Russian security chief acknowledged that the West's fears of a Iranian drive toward nukes were ''well-founded,'' reverted to the old Russian line that ''the international community so far has no information that Iran is building nuclear weapons.''
The possible maneuver: Over the past two years, Russia could regard that it had some success in trying to leverage its position on Iran in exchange for modifications in NATO's plans for a missile defense shield or the New Start nuclear arms agreement with the Americans. Now, just as it refashions its view on Iran, it is making clear, according to articles last week in the Russian newspaper Kommersant, that its view of cooperating with NATO on missile defense must involve ''sectorization,'' or giving Russia responsibility for an area in Eastern and Northern Europe that NATO believes would recreate a Soviet-type zone of influence.
All this has the look of renewed Russian hardball, with Iran potentially reappearing in the game as a pressure point. Irony? Mr. Medvedev, everybody's pal in the Kremlin, chose a tone of friendly regret last week to say that if there's no acceptance of Russian terms on missile defense, ''In the future, we'll have to take unpleasant decisions on the deployment of nuclear strike units.''
The French, who uncovered the Iranians' secret nuclear reactor in Qum in 2009, are now making the case to the allies that they have hard evidence that North Korea has exported significant quantities of highly enriched uranium to Iran.
That is an assertion that wilts irony. Basically, it seems to mean: How can anyone say there's a lengthened timetable for dealing with Iran and less urgency for tougher unilateral measures that skirt the U.N. Security Council?
George Perkovich, a vice president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, adds another element of concern.
He says that under the new circumstances, and in light of Iran's humiliation through the cybersabotage of computers at some of its nuclear sites and the violent deaths of figures in the nuclear program, the mullahs will not consider genuine negotiations until they have gotten revenge, possibly in Lebanon.
That leaves new sanctions. The strongest possible measures would involve restrictions aimed at Iranian crude oil exports, according to Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. He believes they have wide bipartisan support in Congress, although it is uncertain whether Mr. Obama, who has the authority to pursue sanctions of this type through existing legislation, will order them.
Call that a description of wavering rather than resolve. It is hard to separate events in Egypt from the situation in Iran, but there is nothing resembling willingness on the part of the allies to join them together as one overarching problem requiring a similar response.
In a time of overwhelming caution, the odds seem small that the United States or anyplace else in the West might encourage Iranians in the manner Mr. Obama did Egypt's protesters last week -- albeit glancingly. He said, ''The United States will continue to stand up for the rights of the Egyptian people'' as it pursues ''a future that is more just, more free and hopeful.''
In the Iranian case, that would also be a future very much less dangerous for the world.

Surplus no reason for more tax cuts: Minchin
Page Tools
Senator Nick Minchin.
Photo: Belinda Pratten
A bigger-than-expected $13.6 billion budget surplus is not a licence for the Government to deliver more tax cuts to Australian workers, Finance Minister Nick Minchin says.
Labor has been urging the Government to deliver another round of tax cuts to help offset the higher cost of petrol for families.
But Senator Minchin said while the Government's surplus was $4.4 billion higher than expected for the 2004/05 financial year, it was no reason to launch another round of tax cuts.
"Any decision now to increase spending or cut taxes would impact on this financial year and future years, not the one just finished," he told the Senate.
"So this larger than expected surplus for last financial year is certainly not a licence to cut taxes or increase spending now.
"We have already cut taxes on July 1, despite the opposition from the Labor Party who tried to block those cuts.
"And, of course, we have also legislated successfully for a further round of tax cuts on July 1 next year."
Senator Minchin said the higher than expected budget surplus for last financial year showed the Government was right to have cut taxes in the last three budgets.
But he said the Government needed to exercise discipline to maintain its strong financial position and keep downward pressure on interest rates.

Mining the source of modern life
I am writing in response to Mr. Velazquez' letter of Wednesday, March 26, in which he proclaims "Stop the Mines." It is unfortunate that everyone does not learn in school where "stuff" comes from. Milk does not come from a jug, and electricity does not come from a wall socket. Perhaps, because these things are not known as well as they should be, we should "Stop the schools?"

My turn: The past and future of the Tongass
When I was born in Killisnoo, in 1908, the Tongass National Forest had just celebrated its first birthday. President Theodore Roosevelt set aside this land and water when Killisnoo was a bustling, productive community which produced much wealth. We processed everything from herring to whales and used everything from blueberries to Sitka Spruce. Nearby Angoon provided labor to Killisnoo, to canneries in Hood Bay, Hawk Inlet and the mines in Juneau. A coal mine was worked in Angoon as trees were cut to provide for buildings, heating and docks. We utilized our resources.
My turn: District's numbers not 'questionable'
A March editorial urged the Juneau School District to give voice to the "disadvantaged" students.
My turn: Take an interest in Juneau harbors
Take back the harbors? It would help if people would just take an interest in them. Only the state - as the former owner - could "take back the harbors." Given the decades of neglect Juneau's small boat harbors suffered under state ownership, no serious person can suggest a return to that system.

Re: Folster-Can/SD/ND
Richard Elston 1/23/05
Hi there,
I am a little confused and could use some help.
I have an Alfred Folster, born in July 1888 or 1889.
He married a Mary Louise Dionne, on or about 1913.
She was born on Jan 1, 1896.
Through family stories, it appears that Alfred Folster's dad is a James Folster, who married a Celcilia Azure, her father was Antoine Azure II.
Is there any information to confirm this?

In biology, a Biological system (or Organ system) is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain task. Common systems, such as those present in mammals and other animals, seen in human anatomy, are those such as the circulatory system, the respiratory system, the nervous system, etc.
A group of systems composes an organism, e.g. the human body.
Human systems Edit
Humans have a variety of systems due to the complexity of the species' organism. These specific systems are widely studied in Human anatomy. "Human" systems are also present in many animals.
- Circulatory system: pumping and channeling blood to and from the body and lungs with heart, blood and blood vessels.
- Digestive system: digestion and processing food with salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines, rectum and anus.
- Endocrine system: communication within the body using hormones made by endocrine glands such as the hypothalamus, pituitary or pituitary gland, pineal body or pineal gland, thyroid, parathyroids and adrenals, i.e., adrenal glands.;)
- Integumentary system: skin, hair and nails.
- Lymphatic system: structures involved in the transfer of lymph between tissues and the blood stream, the lymph and the nodes and vessels that transport it including the Immune system: defending against disease-causing agents with leukocytes, tonsils, adenoids, thymus and spleen.
- Muscular system: movement with muscles.
- Nervous system: collecting, transferring and processing information with brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and nerves.
- Reproductive system: the sex organs, such as ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, mammary glands, testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis.
- Respiratory system: the organs used for breathing, the pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs and diaphragm.
- Skeletal system: structural support and protection with bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.
- Urinary system: kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra involved in fluid balance, electrolyte balance and excretion of urine.

thats bull...once you find the settings page there is very few songs.plus, they only use the title of the song.
i mean really,,how many songs can have the same title!!
which artist do they belong to??
its totally not cool!!
im disappointed.

There are 26 song settings on the 2 page download. If you are wondering which artists originally recorded the song, you can look up the songs on itunes or Wikipedia. See the the following link for the "share your tones" forum where other people have listed their own tones as well:

Don't get bent out of shape. I'm sure they can't say the band's name as it would be making a claim fo some sort. So instead of just saying, "You're on your own..." they're giving some guidance, using song titles. And while I'm sure there can be duplicate titles out there amongst bands, they're pretty obvious what they're trying to do. If you like the Beatles/60's sound, you'd find that one song a good place to start. If you like Metallica and other metal, you could use the one song to get you going in the right direction.
But if you honestly expect a company to say, "This is the setting for Steve Miller..." you're not thinking straight. For one, what if Miller used a slightly different setting for every song? Secondly, Miller didn't use Line6 amplifiers (that I know of) so how can they validly claim the settings? So instead they just say, "Keep on rockin' me baby" and let you use your imagination.

Drowning is Quick and Quiet
In the summertime when the weather is hot, you can stretch right up and touch the sky . . . (lyrics courtesy of Mungo Jerry) and guess what? We are all flocking to the beach, the lakes and our back yard swimming pools steadily searching for relief from the scorching heat! A body of water is attractive, it is refreshing and luring. In 2007, natural bodies of water were responsible for 43% of all recreational drownings, 9% occurred as a result of boating accidents and 19% of drownings occurred in swimming pools that same year.
The highest risk of drowning for both males and females is between the ages of 1 and 4. It is the leading cause of death in children of this age. This risk decreases from the ages of 5 to 14, then increases substantially from ages 15 on through adulthood.
Drowning is Quick and Quiet! In Florida, drowning deaths of children age 5 is the highest in the nation. Enough children drown each year in Florida to fill about four (4) pre-school classrooms. It happens year around, but is most prevalent in the months of Spring and Summer. Children can drown in less than 2 inches of water. Over 25% of all drownings (in Florida) occur in swimming pools with adults present, but preoccupied!
Some Florida Facts:
- Children under the age of 10 are most likely to drown in a swimming pool
- Children over the age of 10 are most likely to drown in a natural body of water
- In 2007, 76% of drowning victims in a swimming pool were children under the age of 5.
- In 2007, 13% of drowning victims in a bath tub were children under the age of 5.
- In 2007, 10% of drowning victims in a natural body of water were children under the age of 5.
How Can We Prevent Accidental Drowning?
In May 2013, the American Red Cross launched easy to remember steps to help people stay safe in, on and around water as well as what to do to assist someone who is drowning. The program, is titled "Circle of Drowning Prevention and Chain of Drowning Survival Boost Water Safety Awareness". The Red Cross will provide posters that depict steps that people can take to stay safe in, on or around water. You can contact your local Red Cross for these infographic materials which are free to the public.
A few of the bullet-points listed are:
- Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards
- Always swim with a buddy
- Ensure that everyone in the family swims well, by enrolling in age-appropriate Red Cross Water Orientation and Learn-to-Swim courses
- NEVER leave a child to supervise another child
- Install and use barriers around your home pool or hot tub
- Remove access ladders or any furniture that can assist children accessing above ground and/or inflatable pools
- Keep toys that are not in use away from the pool and out of sight as toys can attract young children
- Always have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear Coast Guard-approved life jackets around water, but do not rely on life jackets alone
You can download the complete list of preventative measures at http://www.redcross.org/watersafety.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) multi-country outbreak - Update 4
Disease Outbreak Reported
19 March 2003
Preliminary findings suggest a viral cause
Research teams at two laboratories, in Germany and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, have detected particles of a virus from the Paramyxoviridae family in samples taken from patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
This is the first major step forward in efforts to pinpoint the causative agent. Previous tests conducted in a number of top laboratories failed to detect the presence of any known bacteria or viruses, including the influenza viruses, recognized as causes of pneumonia or respiratory symptoms, or known to be widespread in the most affected geographical areas.
The failure of all previous efforts to detect the presence of bacteria and viruses known to cause respiratory disease strongly suggests that the causative agent may be a novel pathogen.
Firm conclusions about the identity of the causative agent are premature. All teams have stressed that these are preliminary results only. Further studies are needed before it can be concluded, with confidence, that the causative agent has been identified.
Collaborative efforts continue. All research teams are participants in the international multicentre SARS research project, linking together 11 leading laboratories, that was set up on Monday 17 March. Coordinated research is expected to expedite definitive identification of the causative agent.
The detection of paramyxovirus particles in samples from infected patients is the first lead to a possible cause of SARS and will be extremely important in focusing ongoing research. Definitive identification of the causative agent will help physicians move from the current "hit-or-miss" approach to treatment to a more precise selection of drugs with a greater prospect of cure. Knowledge of the causative agent will also speed development of a diagnostic test and thus give physicians and national health authorities a powerful tool for the identification of cases. It will also reassure the many "worried well" now presenting at health facilities, and reduce the number of false alarms.
Update on countries and cases
As of Wednesday 19 March, a cumulative total of 264 suspected or probable cases and 9 deaths have been reported from 10 countries (Canada, China, Germany Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Viet Nam). Hong Kong SAR, Hanoi (Viet Nam), and Singapore continue to be the most affected areas. Full details are provided in tabular form.
Awareness of the disease is now very high throughout the world. Surveillance is proving to be sensitive, with suspected cases rapidly detected, reported to national authorities and WHO, and investigated according to the standard case definition.
The Paramyxoviridae family
Viruses in the Paramyxoviridae family include many common, well-known agents associated with respiratory infections, such as respiratory syncytial virus, and childhood illnesses, including the viruses that cause mumps and measles. Some of these viruses are widespread, particularly during the winter season. Screening of specimens could therefore be expected to detect particles of these common viruses. At this point, it cannot be ruled out entirely that tests for the SARS agent are detecting such "background" viruses rather than the true causative agent.
The Paramyxoviridae family also includes two recently recognized pathogens, Hendra virus and Nipah virus. These related viruses are unusual in the family in that they can infect and cause potentially fatal disease in a number of animal hosts, including humans. Most other viruses in the family tend to infect a single animal species only.
Nipah virus first began to cause deaths in humans in Peninsular Malaysia in 1998 in persons in close contact with pigs. The outbreak caused 265 cases of human encephalitis, including 105 deaths. Two separate outbreaks of Hendra virus, associated with severe respiratory disease in horses, caused two human deaths in Australia in 1994 and 1995. No human-to-human transmission was documented in either outbreak. No treatment was available for cases caused by either of these two viruses. Human-to-human transmission did not occur.

I have decided to buy some macro tubes and a wondering if it is worth getting the tubes that have electrical contacts over the ones that do not? I suppose it depends partialy how much light is getting to the sensor or else the autofocus will not work anyway?
This brings me onto a ring light; for macro work I assume its good to have a light on all the time to focus etc. but if you are using the ring light for other things like photographing people a flash ring light is better?
Any opinions on the above would be interesting.
