The post-baby diet has begun.
My maternity wardrobe was too big (finally!) and my old wardrobe was too small. All I was left with was underwear even your granny would think was a bit prudish. I was in need of new clothes if I were to break out of this house and re-join civilisation.
I have to admit, post-baby clothes shopping was not the fun trip I was expecting.
Maternity clothes shopping had lulled me into a false sense of security. There is no such thing as fat when you are pregnant. You are supposed to 'look big in this', you're pregnant and it's a sign that you are growing a great big healthy baby, claps on the back all round. For almost a year it was like shopping for a school uniform again, you wanted to leave plenty of growing room, something that just fit would never do. And trying to squeeze into the smaller size was unheard of.
On the other side of the birth, things were looking a bit different again. I was expecting that once the baby was ejected a lot of the weight would leave with him. I had heard that once you gave birth you should be able to fit into the maternity clothes that you wore at four or five months. I could get these clothes over my mummy tummy, but not over my mummy thighs. Naively I put this down to water retention, so I waited patiently for the fluid to dissipate. And waited. A little did, but even two months later I still could not squeeze into the smaller maternity clothes. I had to face facts. If I wanted to leave the house wearing clothes, I needed to go shopping. I found solace in the fact that I was smaller than I was at nine months pregnant, put on a brave face and hoped for the best.
The outcome was not pretty. I wandered into changing rooms with clothes in one size, and several minutes of squeezing later, the fitting room's assistant had to swap them for clothes four sizes up. My confidence was not at an all-time high. I decided to buy a cheap and cheerful temporary wardrobe from Penneys while I got my body back to its normal size.
If I am honest, I may have been unrealistic about my 'before' figure. In my mind, before this all began, I was a slender, slim, size 8. In some ways that is true: back when I was 16 before I met my husband and before we even started thinking about babies, I was a size 8. But in more ways, it is a complete lie. As soon as we decided that we were going to try for babies I started eating cake. And bread. And pasta. And just about anything else calorific I could get my grubby little hands on. I figured if I was going to get pregnant I was going to get fat so what was the point of watching what I was eating. I would lose the excess when I was losing the baby weight.
I am now on the other side of that thought process and I now realise that it is going to be no easy feat shifting all this additional weight.
My first step is to admit where I am. If you don't know where you are, you can't know how long it will take to get to your destination. I can safely say, I am definitely not a size 8 now. Nor am I a 10. I am much closer to a squeeze-into-it, thank-god-this-is-stretch-material, I-don't think-all-the-buttons-are-supposed-to-be-able-to-close, is-it-a-Moo-Moo-if-you-buy-it-in-Brown-Thomas, I-have-seen-people-camp-in-tents-smaller-than-this size. Not big in the grand scale of things, but big for me.
My next step is to devise a plan. I'm a sucker for celebrity endorsed fitness products, so I have the Anna Richardson's Body Blitz Diet and Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I also have some strong advice from Ruth Whelan: don't wait until Monday, start today. So here we go. Out with the take away in with the nutrients. I'll keep you posted on how I do.

Finally. And when I say finally, I mean finally there is a European data SIM card that is worth having. Most US and Canadian providers currently do let you roam in Europe but, at a cost. Verizon currently has a plan for example that for $10 a day (actually more like $12 if you add the taxes) you can use your cell phone overseas as if you were in the United States. While this is not a terrible plan, if your trip is for a few weeks, it can add up. In addition, all it takes is just one person to send you one text and that text just cost you $10. Plus, if you want to use another device, such as an iPad, you would have to sign up for another line. And of course, there are still plenty of providers who still do not offer any roaming solutions plus others who are just too expensive to use.
A better approach is to put in a pay as you go SIM data card into your phone or tablet that was specifically designed for travelers heading to Europe. This SIM card gives users 12GB of data at 4G speeds. 12GB is virtually more than 99% of all travelers can use in a month. You can easily check the usage online. This option is a great options but it implies that you have an unlocked phone (meaning, your carrier allows you to put in a different carrier's SIM card) or, that your iPad actually has a slot for a SIM card.
If your phone is locked to a carrier or your tablet does not have a slot for the SIM card, here is another solution – which is also a fantastic solution if you are traveling in a group.
If you are traveling with a group or even another family member (and provided you are with Verizon), it would cost each person about $12 per day. So, a family of three for a 2 week trip would pay over $500 with Verizon. For less than half of that, a family or group of up to ten people can simultaneously rent a mobile hotspot. The one caveat is that while 12GB is still a sizable amount, that does not mean that someone in your group should be downloading the last episode of their favorite TV show.

He Descended into Hell in Vain
A Spy for God: The Ordeal of Kurt Gerstein
"The man who will not act except in total righteousness achieves nothing. He does not enter the path of progress and he is not true because he is not real…. The man who seeks to be true must run the risk of being mistaken, of putting himself in the wrong."
—Karl Jaspers
It is very seldom that a book reduces me to tears as this one did. It is the story of a man who, if he had not committed suicide in a French prison in 1945, would almost certainly have been hanged at Nuremberg as a war criminal; yet, on finishing it, I find myself sharing Martin Niemöller's conviction that he was a saint.
He was tall, with grey-blue eyes, his temples and the back of his neck shaved in the Prussian style. A wide expanse of forehead on a narrow head, big ears that stuck out slightly, a large nose somewhat flattened above a full mouth, of which the firmly modelled upper lip seemed to crush the lower as though by an impulse from within.
Kurt Gerstein was born in 1906, one of seven children. His father was a judge, an upright man according to his standards, which were those of the upper middle class before 1914. Certain things were simply "not done," for example:
…to disobey one's civil and military superiors, to show lack of respect for the Imperial family or for constituted authority, to marry someone of inferior status or to be on too friendly terms with Jews, though these might be quite honorable people.
Even as a child, Kurt Gerstein seems to have been a maverick, estranged both from his parents and his siblings. He never referred to his father as "father" but always simply as Er, and the "mother" in his early life was not his own but his Catholic nursemaid Regina, a position later occupied by his Berlin housekeeper, Leokadia Hinz. At school, though he was obviously the brightest in his class, he was often in trouble for not doing his work. After passing his Arbitur, he decided to become a mining engineer, a job at which he was very successful. The arts meant nothing to him, but he had a passionate wish to know. He displayed many manic traits:
He drove himself remorselessly. Eating, drinking and sleeping were time-consuming occupations, a waste of substance…. He slept less than five hours a night, there was always so much to do.
A devout Christian, in his spare time he ran summer camps for boys, who all seemed to have adored him, though some later felt the need to rebel against his overwhelming personality.
On May 1, 1933, he became a member of the Nazi Party. To those who objected, he said: "You're criticizing it from the outside. No man should pass judgment on matters of which he…

Homemade Cough Syrup with thyme and honey
The baby has a cough. My first instinct is to turn to a herbal remedy, but there is too much junk in commercial medicine. Besides which, there is not cough medicine out there for babies under 2. So, I made some homemade Thyme Cough Syrup and it gave our baby the relief he needed to get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Homemade Cough Syrup
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 cup honey (I used organic)
- Bottle to store (I used the honey bottle)
- Put thyme in tea ball. If you don't have a tea ball, you can make your own by bundling up the thyme in a coffee filter and closing it with a twist-tie.
- Pour boiling water over thyme in a measuring cup.
- Leave the thyme in the water until the water cools to room temperature.
- Remove the thyme from the water and discard.
- Stir in honey.
- Pour into storage container and keep in the refrigerator.
To use: Shake well before using. Take one tablespoon several times a day for colds, coughs, and sore throat.

You wouldn't think it was possible for a 9-pound chihuahua to pull off a Godfather impression, but little Bree was nailing it. Perched on the edge of the picnic table in the dog park, her stubby legs tucked under her, she impassively surveyed the world around her. In charge. Unconcerned. Confident.
"Oh, Bree-Bree," behavior associate Kara Fike sighs. "What are we going to do with you?"
Bree pulls off her Godfather impression because it doesn't stray too far from her personality. Warm and generous with a chosen few. Particular about her likes and dislikes. Protective. In control.
Bree has a pet peeve: hands. She doesn't like them reaching for her or her stuff, unless she knows the person attached to them very well. While she's comfortable around new people, all bets are off when they reach for her. For a dog as adorable as Bree, this is a liability. Though she's never bitten anyone, her snapping has landed her a reputation as a land shark.
Affectionate and loving with her chosen human friends, rock solid (if bossy) with other small dogs, an outdoor aficionado and surprisingly athletic hiking partner, Bree has a lot to offer. But she's definitely a work in progress.
Part of what makes finding a dog like Bree a home so difficult is that the exact home that would be perfect for her is the home that would never think to look for her: the active, sporting folks who are more at home on a trail then on a couch and want a pet that can keep up with them.
While independent, Bree is no poster child for small dogs, but she is a poster child for small dog-itis: the belief that little dogs are for cuddling and big dogs are for the fun stuff. Land sharky-ness aside, a lot of Bree's pet peeves would be pluses in a big dog. Calm with strangers, always willing to play with other dogs, not high-strung, up for a long walk or a run but totally chill hanging out while her owners are at work. Likewise, her personality failings—an unwillingness to be picked up and discomfort with having strange folk grab at her—would likely be viewed with more compassion if she did wasn't so darn wee and adorable.
If there was ever a group of dogs that needed a PR makeover, it's small dogs. Because it's very easy to forget that they are, when all is said and done, as doggy as that Labradoodle you saw jogging in Golden Gate Park last week. Like all dogs, some small dogs are active, some are lazy, some love to cuddle, and some are … Bree.
Bree isn't an impossible dog. In fact, she's awesome. It's just that as a society, our assumptions about her and her short-pooch brethren are impossible. And we all need to work on that.
We believe there's a lid for every pot. And we believe that the right person is out there looking for a dog just like Bree, and we're hanging with her until we find it. We just hope that right person remembers to look down sometimes. Your potential best friend might be a little shorter than you think.

DETROIT (WWJ) – The Detroit Lions are in the national spotlight Monday night, with a spot in the postseason on the line.
The Lions will take on the Baltimore Ravens during a "Monday Night Football" showdown at Ford Field. With so much riding on the contest, Lions Quarterback Matthew Stafford says he's looking forward to the game.
"Yeah, Monday night's fun," Stafford said. "It's a blast. Our fans do a great job, or they did last time we had it here, of coming out and supporting us and making it tough for the other team. You know it's a big one for us and not only because it's on Monday night, but just the situation that both teams are in in the season, and we're looking forward to."
Lions fans don't want to see this happen, but if they lose tonight's game, they'll fall from first place to third in the NFC North, with just two games left to play in the regular season.
Tonight's marquee matchup will mark the first time the Lions have played "Monday Night Football" at Ford Field since 2011.

Your magicJack… Sometimes it won't ring. Sometimes you can't call out. Since magicJack does not have 24-hour live chat support, you end up figuring it out for yourself. Check out the top 10 most frustrating reasons why your device isn't connecting. Let's get the most obvious ones out of the way first. Then we'll head for the more obscure.
That's a wrap on the 10 most frustrating reasons why your magicJack won't connect.
I cant get the magic jack to work it is the plug in the wall one
my magicjack plus only works in my computer I think it did some type of update I didn't have a problem until now I want it to plug into wall
Once you register your MJ plus on your computer, you will then be able to plug it into the wall and begin using it, but you must register on the computer first, once you reach the end of the initial set up, it will prompt you to choose if you want to use it from the plug in wall or your computer. Hope this is helpful. Just tried it and it worked fine.
Error 3002 using Century Link C1000Z router.
Is there any way to configure the silly Magjcjack+ network settings? My router is at the 192.168.0.1 default with DHCP enabled (192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.254), appropriate DNS servers etc. Have tried many cables and ports. No go.
MJ support is pretty much useless resolving this issue. Device works perfectly plugged into USB port of computer on same network
I am unable to see the yellow and green lights on my magic jack plus. I went on the site and it still says my subscription is up, but yet someone emailed me that i do not need to register and i was charged as stated by my bank when i tried to re-subscribe. When i tried making calls it kept saying that i need to renew then it starts to ring, now im not getting any lights and no dial tone and no one has responded to my emails about it. What should i do?
Ok well i got my cousin to register it and he added his card there but now im here waiting to get service and still nothing and im getting frustrated. It now says im renewed and im not hearing any dial tone
Magic jack plus model 2012 wont work at all. At first it was connected to the outlet as usual but then i removed it and placed it back awhile after but the power adapter burnt.So i replaced it with a new adapter.The green light for the internet comes on but the orange light doesnt for the phone and thus no dial tone.The plus sign lights up blue as well.And also, i tried connected it to the pc but it recognizes it as some sort of device like a phone or camera.It does not auto run.I tried reinstalling the software still doesnt work.
Hi, I last saw your post on my thread months ago. Kudo's to you for your wonderful help to all who need it! The Laughter On Water is "quenchingly" cheery too.
I finally got around to ordering MJ plus (I believe its 2012 edition, since it does not state 2014 on the front). It's due to arrive soon.
What happened, was that my POTS phone service became very poor quality, and at this time its dead despite repeated hassle contacting the company.
So that motivated me to try MJ.
I guess I should transfer my POTS number to the MJ Plus prior to cancelling the POTS "zero-service".
Thing is, I only have 1.0mbs DSL speed (via DSLxtreme) and not sure they'd agree to upgrade me to 1.5mbs for the same $27.83 (incl.surcharge) per month.
So I may be stuck with 1.0mbs, despite that 1.5mbs is optimal proportional to my distance from their C.O. HQ. (the DSLxtreme rep. had ascertained that 1.5 is best for me, based on my locale.
He said that 3.0 is worse for me than 1.5mbs.
I also need to use corded phones due to EMFs.
I have good Panasonic phones, 1980s style. Here's their model:
I'm wondering how well the KX-TS105 phones – REN 1.0B – would work with 1.0mbs DSL speed??
Chris, In response to #1 – I guess I should have asked whether its transferable.
Lets say I program it on one of my old XP laptops, is it then transferable to other later laptops, and/or phone jacks? My mind is murky on all the info., having not yet actually gone thru the process.
Response to #2 – I guess I'm OK with what I have, then, because its only me myself and I – so only one phone would ever be picked up (usually – unless I'd pick up the other phone while getting something in the other room. Would that be problematic?
But your info is handy to have – so if I happen to be in a store which happens to still stock "ancient" phones, I will be sure to AVIDLY inspect its underside for the REN. And if it "happens" to be zero and the price is right, that oughta be incentive enough!
I don't currently own a car, so don't get around too much except to nearby stores I walk to, and occasionally bus – via horrible local bus system.
Regarding #3 – I guess I was just explaining where I'm at, FYI, in case it helps me or you or neither, for that matter…
Responding to #4 – I was actually asking if I can use the Comtrend modem which has been programmed as a router?
OR: Would Magic Jack work better with my LinkSys router which I bought quite awhile ago thinking I'd try it with MagicJack – except I had not wound up getting MJ until now.
As for the rest:
Cable costs way more – at least the was the case when I last researched years ago.
I'm currently @ under $30 and it was pretty much OK during 2012 & 2013 at 1.0mbs
But just recently it has become horrendous (also coinciding with my POTS going dead).
I'm wondering if there's a connection between these simultaneous issues.
There's been construction 2 houses down the block.
By the way, its a bit faster now, probably due to the graveyard hours.
P.S. I went outside today to check out the box. The 1950s line extends from a tiny box which looks sorta like this:
Except I think its even smaller, and doesn't seem as if it can be opened, so that I can test the line outside.
OK, now I went thru your video, but became totally confused at the part where you're showing the red phone and stating about connecting to router, AC adapter & phone connector.
Does this mean that EVERY time I need to use the phone (outgoing or incoming) I need to pull out the blue Ethernet from my laptop & plug it into the MJplus??
In other words:
If I want to access Internet, I need to pull out the Ethernet from MJ & hook it to my laptop, and then if I later want to use the phone, I need to plug it back into the MJ?
I'd appreciate clarification of the video/instructions.
We just purchased the MJgo and have it installed and registered. I have been reading the above comments about the lights (orange and green). Our orange light is cycling on and off, this happens to correspond with the signal on our computers. So I don't think this is a MJ problem. We have always noticed out computers doing this but they cycle every 20-30 seconds, so our computers actually stay working. We did have an AT&T microcell hooked up before we got the MJGO and it would stay connected and then disconnect and we believed it was our internet provider, so we switched providers. Its still happening, any ideas?
I'm hoping this is the right area to ask a question regarding Magicjack?
I just got a new cell tracfone LG530G and added minutes and service to it. When I call from the new cell phone to magicjack home number, get a fast busy signal and when I call from home magicjack number to the new cell phone, also get a fast busy signal. Any ideas on how to fix this? I haven't gotten anywhere with Magicjack online chat service except they are going to have their engineers look into it. It's been a couple days and so far haven't heard anything and it's still not working.
My majicjack keeps saying error 23. What does error 23 mean anyway? And also says when working that it is is no longer in service on my end. My bill has been pd and want some answers. Please e-mail me soon, getting very frutrating.
I'm not completely tech illiterate so I tried this but I couldn't figure it out on my ATT U-verse Motorola NVG510 router. In desperation I chatted with Vera on Magic Jack's tech support page. Everything she wanted me to check and try I had already done and then she suggested I change the USP power adapter plugged into the wall. This worked and got me back a dial tone but I'm not sure why. I used the old adapter to charge my phone and it worked just fine for that. Go figure.
I bought magic jack go about 5 days ago. I can dial out fine on my landline but I'm only receiving calls if they are from a cell phone. I am not getting any calls from another landline. They receive a message like sorry you call cannot be completed try again later or contact an operator. I did live chat with magic jack but no with no solution. They were going to send my information higher up and would get back to me through my email. I still haven't heard from them
can not get the majic jack to register to this computer, It is on 8.00 and is fine , I am over 70yrs old
and it woked fine untill I registerd for another year, plus lost my Wife who knew all the things to do .
send help ?????
I have Magic Jack Plus and it works great. I have an old Magic Jack , can my daughter use it on her PC at her house?
My MJ+ will not work when connected to the power outlet. chat support agents at magicjack.com are of no use trying to help. changed Ethernet cables, changed power adaptor, upgraded , rebooted, but still MJ+ says no internet connection. When I connect the MJ+ to the computer, it works. But i want to have it on the power outlet not on my laptop. it was working well before but i don't know what caused it not to stop working on the power outlet. My guess is (only a guess) that this happen after a power outage. When I connect my MJ+ to the modem with the ethernet cable, the modem does not indicate that a port is in use. Either my MJ+ cannot detect the modem or the modem cannot detect the MJ+. My modem is Hiton technologies CGN2.it is the thrid one i have changed since I have this problem. I thought the modem ports had a problem, but seem not to be the case. Can you help me with how to fix this?
I haven't been able to use my Roku player since I installed my MJ plus (which works great, by the way). I get the message "unable to locate device". Any ideas on how to fix this? I called my ISP, but they could not help.
Chris in my attached link are the experiences which I had posted on DSLreports awhile back.
It may interest.
To date:
I have even made a successful international phone call with Magic Jack.
Some ongoing issues:
(1) Every so often my phone stops working (static instead). At which point I unplug & re-plug the MJ dongle to Reset.
(2) Call Waiting interruptions sound like a horn, rather than the subtle clicks I was used to previously with the exorbitant POTS service.
(3) If I speak too long, my calls get cut off mid-sentence. Many people complained about this.
(4) A couple weeks ago the cheap-junk MJ adapter conked out and luckily I had a 2 amp replacement one which I'm now using.
(5) I'm very old fashioned in that I never did have caller ID on my phones. I do have one phone (in the kitchen) with a Caller-ID panel, but I couldnt get it to work with MJ. So I asked the MJ chat girl why a caller-ID log is not available among the DropDown menu's in My Account. She responded that they can email me a monthly log. I told her NO because I use yahoomail and gmail which I don't trust insofar as privacy. My ISP is DSLextreme which does not offer their own private email svc. but rather expect clients to use google's. That I did NOT want. And so I have no caller ID, all because they don't enable people the option to access a Caller ID Log in their accounts.
My mother gave me her magic jack plus that she isn't using any longer & i can get it to work on the computer bit when plugged into the wall I only get a dial tone that will not make or receive calls…we have tried several ethernet cables & still no change
Hi, my magic jackgo is plugged into wall. The phone has no dial tone but I can make calls out. I hear the calls when they come in but when I answer I can't hear the caller and they can't hear me. I have checked the voice mail delay, so that is not it. I checked in the advanced options to make sure I am enabled to recieve and make calls. Please help if you can.
Any idea what's going on with my Magic Jack each time I make a call after I am done using the phone I hang up like normal and instead of it saying "enter number to call here" in blue lettering it says "please connect to internet and double click here" in red lettering. although I had never disconnected from the internet I was using it on the same computer the magic jack is connected to before during and after the call everything was fine but after the call ends it acts like it's no longer connected to the internet until I restart the Magic Jack from the advanced users tab accessed by right clicking the minimized tray icon…
When I call from my MJ to my cell phone to check my cell phone messages I hear the ring tone and my cell phone rings like i have incoming call. Then MJ does not go to my cell phone voice message greeting its goes to dead air then a busy signal. I need to check messages from MJ home phones. Please help !!! Thank you
The USB 1 AMP power supply has a limited life span. If you are getting extra static in your phone, or your phone features are not working smoothly, test a new power supply. Most 5 volt supplies from cell phones are iphones are compatible with the power needs of MagicJack.
Hey, Chris! I hope you have an answer for this problem! Haven't seen this question on this site, yet, so, here goes…My MagicJack has to be restarted several times per day in order to hear and be heard by callers in less than 30 to 45 seconds of making or receiving calls. Sometimes the caller can hear me saying "Hello" several times before we connect. Also, when dialing out, there is a lag of 40 seconds to a minute before the number I'm dialing shows up on the dialpad and then another lag as it says "trying call" before it says "connecting call". I had a MJ Plus for several months and, after contacting Chat many times, was advised that the device was no longer functioning properly and was sent a replacement of their newest device. I've had the new one for about a week. The same problems have been going on since I plugged this new device in. I got a different (used) computer just before the MJ Plus started acting up and I think there may be something on my computer that is causing this problem. Have been through the many steps the MJ advisors have suggested, several times and on many 3 hour chats (daily), to no avail. When I ask them if there could be something…a virus protection program, a firewall, etc., on my computer, causing the problem, they all tell me "No". I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, run the upgrade several times, and restarted many, many times per day (pain in the ___!), but, to no avail. They ask me to make and receive a call…of course, it works fine at first, they say "Great, don't forget to rate this chat!" and disconnect from the chat. I tell them it is going to work, at first, after following the steps they suggest, but that it won't be working in half an hour or so and I will have to continue restarting again and again, throughout the day and night…no answers…just happy that they helped me get it working for now. This has become so frustrating! I don't know how to find an answer for this problem. I missed the call from my brother, telling me that our Mom had passed away, because we could not connect! Had to find out in an instant message on facebook the following day! He had tried calling several times, but I couldn't hear him and when I tried calling him back, each time, he couldn't hear me. That is when I figured out I needed to restart every half hour or so. I sure hope you have an idea that may lead me to a fix with this issue…I'm about to lose my mind, I think! Thanks, in advance, for ANY suggestions you may have!
having audio issues with my MJ+. The cordless connected to my DSL provider powered by the MJ AC unit/USB/ethernet & a corded phone connected directly to the MJ while it's in my computer get the same result. The audio from a caller is faint. The caller hears an extreme echo. Contacted MJ support went thru the sound & Tigerdirect (Think that's what it's called) driver & deinstalled/intalled. Checked sound levels . After resetting computer all I get now is dial tone (either cordless or corded). When I dial nothing goes thru. Although from the computer MJ app I can dial & hear voice from the computer speaker. Any suggestions?
My MJ cant open on my Nexus 5 in which the Android version was updated to Lollipop 6.0… How do i go about this please…
Hi, My MJ sometimes stops voicemail. The device continues to let me place and receive calls, but if someone where to call the recorded message is no longer mine, it is a Magic Jack one that says the subscriber is not available and the MJ devices and apps are available to purchase at the web address. Then it hangs up, not letting anyone leave a message. I tried multiple time to go through the online help, who always reset my device and also ask me to disconnect and reconnect multiple times. In the end I fix the issue by simply re-recording my greetings. No one has been able to tell me why the VM functionality disappears. One agent said it was because of upgrades, another agent said that was not the case and it was because my apps with the same number as the device should all have their VMs activated. I never activated any other VM but for my device. Whenever VM disappears, I also have to reset through my account the notification that appears on my phone, but the email has only gone away once. I am very puzzled. Any clues?
My MJ was working well till yesterday, now the blue light is blinking and dont connecting to internet. But the MJ is working when I connecting it buy usb to my notebook. What can be the reason?
I am having an issue with the MJ app on my cell phone. Up until a week ago it working fine, however now anytime I open it the MJ app says its 'connecting, registering with service' and after a while it gives an error saying it can't connect to internet. How can I fix this? I tried restarting my phone, and the MJ app
I am trying to call using the MJ app on my cell. It was working until last week. Now it keeps saying 'connecting' and then after a while gives an error message saying it couldn't connect to internet. Please assist. Thank you.
Hi Chris,
My MagicJack Plus still works, I can make and recive calls, but there is no dial tone. Any suggestions.
Thanks, Rob
I was having a problem calling a magic jack customer every time I call the recording says I need to dial the area code first, I do but still can't get through but the person can call and get through to me, what can I do to get through to them. They have an area code which is 224
All of a sudden my magic jack's voices are distorted and i cannot understand anything on my voicemail.
My phones are new and they've worked for a couple of months perfectly. This just seemed to happen for no reason. I tried unplugging and plugging back in, that didn't work and now I have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any ideas?
I've had my MagicJack for quite a while. Put the app on my Android tablet, and all was fabulous. Then the tablet died, so now I'm trying to put the app on my iPhone… but it won't show the proper MJ number.
Any clues?
I have been using magicjack for a few years w/o much problem until recently. I can't hear the other end on either out going call or in coming call. please help.
No dial tone when calling out..as well as difficult hearing those calling in.
Hello to everyone,
I just scrolled and read almost all of the Q&A's on the previous write ups. Some of them were similar to my problem. Here is my problem. After several years to satisfactory MJ service, I ran into connection problems with my MJ. When placing a call, I could hear one hello from the person on the other end.
But that was the end of my connection. The MJ tech person said that my upload speed was too low so
I upgraded my ATT service to elite but it did not help. I had good MJ phone service up to that point.
Then all of a sudden I could no longer use my MJ phone on the same computer. I miss making the
international phone calls I used to be able to make on MJ.
I had talked to the MJ tech people several times, but each time the problem was seen an upload speed problem (i.e. I needed at least 1.00, and my upload speed test stopped at .50)
My question is: How could my MJ need higher speed even though it worked ok before on the same
Hi Chris
The magic jack is working perfectly with the computer.
It has problem when plug into wall power.
I did make sure: the internet connection ( led flashing ), the telephone line connection ( amber led falshing ) and also the power of majic jack is ok.
When I make a phone call, the operator local message said the phone number does not exist. Pls, advice.
Thanks for your help.
My cable modem/router is being overwhelmed with contacts using the MagicJack's entrance when we have no calls. in 3 days we have over 197 hits from various ip addresses on port 5060 and on twice on 5070.
Does anyone know what is going on?
Here are the originating ports
[… edit … long diagnostic data deleted ]
Item 5 solved problem.
Is in Ontario Canada, had a V tech phone worked fine, year ago got new Panasonic cordless ones and I could no longer " press 1 for english" ect in any tone prompts areas, drug store, bank, damn near anywhere. Finally just got a new system of phone they have same issue. Is it the phones or am I missing a setting that may have gotten changed on the Magic Jack. Any help would be apperciated.

...interestingly, putting the same SD card into a raspberry pi 2 and it works fine. I didn't notice a hardware req in the blog post? (but then I do have a tendency to scan read things)
Not sure if the pi2 will fit in the case they have made... if it does I will just give it to them.

Questions seeking answers . . . and still getting them
Picking up on the defense, in particular the secondary. We know there will be two new safeties. So . . .
Any alarm at cornerback?
Uh huh. The biggest question there is whether Joe Haden can play all 16 games. The last time he did that was as a rookie back in 2010, but he started only seven that season. He has never played a full season as a starter – he came close on three occasions with 15 starts. It seems he is an injury waiting to happen.
In his six NFL seasons, he has been sidelined by injuries to his hip, shoulder, foot, ribs, finger and now his head. Last season, it was ankle, finger and concussion issues that forced him to miss 11 games. The Browns need him to stay healthy because he is the closest they have to what amounts to a shutdown cornerback.
The rest of the cornerback lot gives pause for great concern. Veteran Tramon Williams came over from Green Bay last season as a corner with fading talent and proved it time and again. The only reason he wasn't benched? No one else was better.
The best disappointing second-year man Justin Gilbert could do was replicate his wasted rookie season. Former head coach Mike Pettine's prize corner, the club's top pick in the 2014 draft, has been a colossal bust, a spectacular zero.
Now along comes defensive coordinator Ray Horton, a former defensive back, whose main job here is to crawl inside Gilbert's head and show him what it takes to play solid football on this level. Because he does not know Gilbert yet, expect the youngster to get a fresh start. No preconceived notions.
Haden, who will open training camp on the PUP list, and Tramon Williams are your starters at the corners right now with K'Waun Williams a good bet to nail down the nickel slot. Second-year man Charles Gaines had typical rookie problems, but showed promise as the season wore on last year.
Last season, Cleveland's corners played an awful lot of man coverage, partly because of experienced safeties and a philosophy that relied heavily on rushing the quarterback. It will be interesting to see how Horton handles this year's group given the relative inexperience at safety.
Odds on Gilbert becoming a starter, let alone making the club?
If Horton cannot unlock the mystery of why he has severely underperformed, the kid is gone.
What's the story with special teams?
At least there is some stability somewhere. The only coordinator returning from last season is special teams guru Chris Tabor. Also returning are punter Andy Lee and placekicker Travis Coons.
Lee, who arrived last season as one of the best punters in the National Football League, was not his usual Pro Bowl self. Look for a rebound there.
One would think Coons' rookie season, when he converted 28 of 32 field-goal attempts and 22 of 24 extra-pointers from 33 yards, is enough to warrant a return. He'll be challenged by free agent Patrick Murray in training camp and probably win.
Where the club is hurting is the return game now that Travis Benjamin has taken his talents to San Diego. The wide receiver was a constant threat to go all the way every time he touched the football. That will be missed.
Who replaces Benjamin? Raheem Mostert? Gilbert? Marlon Moore? Taylor Gabriel? None pose the kind of threat Benjamin did.
Summing up, where are the greatest strengths and weaknesses on offense?
Unfortunately, there are more of the latter than the former.
It clearly depends on whether the Browns can keep quarterback Robert Griffin III vertical the entire season. With an offensive line that can be best described as questionable, the odds favor Griffin falling far short of that goal, especially with his predilection to run the ball when in trouble.
Coach Hue Jackson might find it difficult to maintain a balanced attack if his team falls so far behind in games that he has no other choice than to throw the football. In that case, Griffin's lack of accuracy from the pocket could be a problem.
The key is the offensive line. If it cannot pave the way for running backs Duke Johnson Jr. and Isaiah Crowell, the 2016 season will turn out to be a replica of the last two seasons. It's an absolute must for the Browns to run the ball successfully. Period.
Where are the greatest strengths and weaknesses on defense?
A little different here. There are more strengths than weaknesses. And they all lie in the front seven, an area Horton through the years has exploited successfully. Loading up in that area through the draft makes his job a bit easier.
His aggressive approach to defense was gleaned from his mentor, former Pittsburgh Steelers guru Dick LeBeau. Count on Horton taking advantage of the notion that an attacking defense is a good offense and produces a fan-pleasing style. That aggressiveness will cover up the biggest weakness – the secondary.
If the defense can stop the run, and that is a monstrous if considering the AFC North boasts numerous terrific running backs, if the Browns somehow improve that aspect of the defense, then this could be an enjoyable season.
Time to predict who steps up and becomes the club's rookies of the year on both sides of the ball.
Wide receiver Corey Coleman from the offense and outside linebacker/defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah from the defense will win those honors.
From all indications, Coleman has impressed the most in pre-season workouts and appears to be the most ready to take his game to the next level. He is a hands catcher with great speed who runs disciplined routes. His biggest hurdle might be learning the entire route tree, something he did not have to learn at Baylor. Dark horse for the honor could be fellow wideout Rashard Higgins, another hands catcher whose college production suggests big things in the NFL.
Ogbah possesses that rare combination of size and quickness. If Horton uses Ogbah's 6-4, 275-pound frame more to rush off the edge than dropping back into coverage or anchoring against the run, Browns fans very well could see the best Cleveland pass rush in nearly a generation. If he plays as well as I believe he will and is utilized all over the field, he could be one of those players who forces the opposition to play "where's Ogbah". Dark horse here is, yep, inside linebacker Scooby Wright III.
So how many games do the Browns win his season?
They own the 12th easiest schedule in the NFL this season. However, it is broken up in the most bizarre fashion, which makes it somewhat tougher and belies the statistical formula that rates strength of schedule.
Five of the first seven games are on the road, where the Browns have been awful for 15 of the last 16 seasons. Five of the next six games are at home before wrapping up the season with two of the final three games on the road. Yikes!
With the exception of a trip to Tennessee, they play in the same time zone as Cleveland every week. Nashville is their westernmost trip.
Despite Las Vegas odds, the Browns will not lose every game. Somewhere along the line, you've got to figure they will stumble into at least three victories, maybe even the giddy total of four.
This is not a good team. Yet. With most likely the top pick in the next college draft – maybe two of the top 10 choices with Philadelphia's pick – the future looks bright. Just not the immediate future.
Training camp opens today in Berea. Buckle up and try to enjoy what most likely will be a very bumpy – and rarely enjoyable – ride through the 2016 season.
Hang in there, Browns fans. With Jackson in charge, better things lurk around the corner. Wait'll next year carries more promise than ever.

Every. Single. Word.
I make no equivocation.
I hate leftists. I hate Democrats.
I refuse to associate with either, anymore. It's my choice. I dislike them. I don't associate with evil, anymore. I don't equivocate and do a fake smile. I hate you.
They're evil people motivated by stupidity, ignorance, and Dunning-Kruger, who would love to have school children shot up for political capital. There is nothing in humanity more despicably evil than a leftist and a Democrat. Nothing.
PZO: You have 350 comments on this blog. You're a leftist fucktard. I've tolerated you, but no more. You are an evil person. I don't need your input. Have an ice day. I wish you bad.
…The idea that you get back at the NRA et al, by making targets of children, by legislating a design that the equally stupid Bush signed in 1990 demonstrates that the right can be just as evil. You own that, Republicans. Because, you're the fucking stupid party. So woefully stupid….because you're so pathetically focussed on your bibles and churches and doGs, more than your culture and county; and the inherent solipsism (solipsism, a concept you'd have to look up because it's not in the bible) makes you so pathetically primitive at all times that it's palpable how fucking stupid you are.
You're just really fucking dumb. Sorry. You're reality is the only reality. Again, Solipsism.
…But at least, some sense seems to be coming about, thanks to Trump, fucking finally. No thanks to evil Democrats or stupid Republicans.
I loath and detest you all. Opportunists, on the bodies of children. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
There is no such thing as a rational world where school children get dropped off daily at a mass shooter target. And you Democrats and Republicans all own all of that.
And I will never let you forget how evil you all are, when politics are in play.
Why does anyone think I'm an anarchist and non-voter? I will have no part of your evil. All of you just go fuck yourselves and get out of my sight.

Destination Placencia, Belize? Maya Island Air, Please.
By Giulianna Tonti: We've touched down! Safely and soundly, I now found myself in my mother land, Belize. After walking directly from what felt to be an exaggeratively frigid international aircraft, into the familiar blaze of Belizean heat, and through the immigration, baggage retrieval, and customs checks, I was then standing in a small vestibule with two exit options facing me.
The good 'ole proverbial fork-in-the-road had me momentarily disoriented, as I had never had to veer straight through the "Connecting Flights" swing doors at the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport. As a creature of habit I had instinctively veered right to exit the airport where my ride to San Ignacio, Cayo would normally be waiting for me. However, this time around, I was surely in for a treat, as my travel itinerary called for a connecting flight with the renowned domestic airline Maya Island Air destined to the both untouched and untouchable Placencia.
I arrived at the Maya Island Air check-in counter and introduce myself. Before any of the staff even knew I was there to write an article for BelizeHub.com, I am greeted with the warmest of smiles and professional pleasantries. This is in fact a true sign of genuine, quality customer service. If you have the pleasure of checking in with Oprah, there is no doubt that you will feel like you are indeed in good hands.
Pamela, the Observer and Concierge on duty, who gently hovered right behind Oprah and her fellow check-in associates, not only had the most charming, almost Princess Leia-like hair do, but had the shining personality to go along with it! We struck a little conversation during which she expressed to me that meeting people is her favorite part about working for Maya Island Air. "I am happy as long as I am here!", she exclaimed.
While obtaining my boarding pass, gate information and directions, Roman the most pleasant baggage handler I had ever met, also resulted in being the most attentive as well. I had apparently neglected to zip the outside pocket of my original carry-on which I was now wanting to check with my other piece of luggage. Roman, with genuine concern, not only caught the unzipped bag, but also suggested that I keep this small duffel bag as a carry-on to minimize risk. It is without a doubt that his attention to detail deserved my utmost gratitude. Thank you, Roman.

I ran 1000 simulations of 8760 data points of wind speed from what turned out to be a mixture distribution combining a normal and a Gamma distribution. This generated a total of 8,760,000 wind speeds. Each was delivered to an interpolating function generated from a digitized power curve of a 3MW nameplate capacity wind turbine. This resulted in 8,760,000 data points, each representing the average power delivered by the turbine for a hypothetical hour.
From there, finding the average power delivered was a simple process, and the result of this simulation was a mean power of 788 kW. This equates to a capacity factor of ~788*100/3000=26.3\%~. This is a surprisingly low number for the location and turbine chosen, given published figures at sites such as this that yield an implied capacity factor of 33.1%. Further, the model estimate has no allowance for planned and unplanned maintenance outages. And, of course, the 33.1% number is ostensibly from measured data, so, as Dr. Steve might say, "who ya gonna believe, me or your lyin' eyes?"
All that said, perhaps Dalhart isn't the ideal location, perhaps the wind gradient is steeper than the model I used, perhaps they've used more highly optimized equipment, perhaps the measured year had, for some reason, particularly strong (but not too strong) winds. I'm going to proceed with my analysis based on the model data.
So, the next step is to determine the storage required for the ability to deliver a given power at, say, 99.99% reliability. That is, the system should be able to supply the specified power for all but ~8760/10000=0.876~ hours/year. This is actually less than the SAIDI*SAIFI (system average interruption duration index, measured as the average duration of outages*system average interruption frequency index, measured as the average number of outages per customer per year) and so sounds quite reasonable if not overly conservative.
One assumption will be that, when the turbine is delivering more than the power under consideration and the storage facility is "topped off," we can send the power to the grid. Another will be that, for the level of power being considered, the storage system is capable of delivering power at that level. As I've discussed in previous posts, there are two primary characteristics of an energy storage installation: the quantity of energy that the system can store; and the rate at which it can deliver that energy.
Of note, approximately 4.0% of the time, the wind is below the cut in speed of the turbine and thus all energy delivered by the system must come from storage. The modeled wind exceeded the cut out speed of the turbine a negligibly small 0.0004% of the time. But there are no black swan events in the distribution (think tornadoes).
It took me a little time to decide on an effective way to proceed, but ultimately I decided to start with a guess of storage and loop through each increment (i.e., each hour's worth) of power (since the power is in kilowatts and the increments are hours, no conversion is necessary). If the storage plus the increment minus the steady use exceeded the maximum available storage, the excess was discarded and the maximum was kept for the next iteration. If the sum was less, that was kept for the next iteration. Upon completion, determine the number of iterations at which storage was zero or less, adjust maximum storage if and as necessary and try again. Using the mean power from all of the trials, no amount of storage sufficed, but reducing it to 725kW gave me what I wanted.
And finally, the result: If our 3MW turbine plus storage system is committed to delivering 725 kilowatts and we can provide 40MWh* of storage, there's effectively zero chance of not having the committed power available. Of course, the system can deliver greater power than that when the wind blows and/or when plenty of energy is stored but committing to greater power than 725kW or installing less storage than 40MWh means that there will be times when the system cannot deliver. Obviously, installing it in an integrated grid system can offset this, but the goal here was to determine what storage will enable what level of reliable base load power for a single turbine so the result is likely to be conservative. This is a virtue in the world of engineering. Below is a chart showing the first 100,000 increments with increment number on the x-axis and energy stored on the y-axis.
One widely discussed concept in energy generation is "capacity value," a very different concept (and number) than capacity factor. Basically, this number represents how much other generating capacity can be avoided with the installation of a generator and, for wind in particular, it is typically much lower than the capacity factor. Since there are times when no wind is blowing and demand does not abate, for an unaided turbine, sufficient generating capacity must be available to meet the demand, even though it may only be used sporadically. The goal of adding storage in this analysis is to bring the capacity value of the wind turbine close to the capacity factor.
As I noted in my previous post (on another topic), most utilities are not looking for days of storage (my analysis above determined that 48 hours of storage at 24.2% of the turbine's nameplate capacity would provide that power continuously and reliably), they're looking for a few hours. And, of course, the myriad complexities of transmission constraints, demand side variability, planned and unplanned generator outages, etc. have not been considered. Others have taken some of these into account using a similar methodology (i.e., Monte Carlo simulation). None that I've found, however, incorporate storage into the analysis. If I were a professor at a research institution or an NREL researcher or, perhaps, if I worked for a turbine manufacturer or a storage technology firm, I'd implement a much more sophisticated model incorporating the above factors as well as a wind farm as opposed to a single turbine.
Next in this series (which, as readers may have noted, may be interrupted by posts on other topics) will be an analysis of the economics of such a system, or at least the beginning of such an analysis. I anticipate that the cost will be prohibitive without pricing the externalities of fossil fuel generation (i.e., without implementing a carbon tax).
*In several trials, 35MW would have sufficed with no increments less than 0, but this run had a particularly calm stretch and, even with 40MW, had 0.0088% of the increments less than 0. However, this met the criteria of 99.99% reliability at 99.9912%.

The Community Council held their monthly meeting on the 14th March at the Royal Oak Community Club (The Phoenix).
Before beginning the meeting, the Chair informed the members of the public, that they cannot speak without the Chairs permission. The Chair then started the official meeting at 7pm.
The meeting began and Community Councillor (CC) Stevie Murray asked questions relating to Bank Renewables planning applications for wind turbines that are being planned between Kelty and Lochgelly, down by Lochore Meadows.
Specific concern was raised that planning applications had already been submitted, but at the last meeting, Bank Renewables had claimed they were still to submit anything. Stevie Murray was informed by Chair McPherson that the planning applications were only recently submitted.
The Floral Grant for local flower displays, was discussed and the Community Council agreed that the money should be donated to Fife Council, who would then be responsible for maintaining the floral displays in Lochgelly for the year. It was also noted that the floral display outside the Lochgelly Centre was made possible by local businesses donating cash towards the display.
Concerns were raised over the use of the Public Park by horse riders, particularly over the safety issues. CC Helen Ross raised the safety concern after witnessing 3 horse riders galloping up and down the public park, at a time when there was a lot of children playing in the area, as well as many dog walkers using the park.
CC Eileen McKenna notified the Community Council that there is a code of practice for horse owners, and the next time they are at the public park, the horse riders should be informed off their duties and responsibilities.
The main concerns over the horse riders is concern over a child being knocked over by a horse rider.
Dog fouling was again on the agenda with various Community Councillors raising their concerns, and again calling for some form of action, such as publicly raising awareness of the situation, and then getting involved with educational activities to highlight the concerns to dog owners, about the issues of dog fouling.
The Treasurer Dodd Kinnell gave a financial update, and currently the Special Project fund has £3541.84 and the General Fund has £43.94.
Mossmorran was next on the agenda, with Chair McPherson giving an update about a recent meeting he attended as part of the Mossmorran Community Liaison Group (MCLG).
CC Brian Schultz raised concern that not everything is rosy with Mossmorran and again requested that the Community Council should be proactive in publicly inviting Mossmorran to attend the next Community Council meeting to answer some of their concerns and the concerns of Lochgelly residents.
This led on to discussions about the recent £2.8 million fine Mossmorran received after it emerged Mossmorran failed to report 33,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in 2008.
Chair McPherson claimed that Mossmorran had recorded it after they discovered a calculation error and further claimed that SEPA kept it quiet and withheld it from the public. CC Schultz raised concern that if figures were incorrect for 2008, then what about 2009, 2010, etc.
Chair McPherson again stated that SEPA did not want the data to be published.
Hood confirmed that Mossmorran had miscalculated the figures and reported to SEPA, but did not report the error to the committee. SEPA did not want the results published.
Hood raised concerns as to whether the committee is becoming too cosy with Mossmorran, as it emerged that Mossmorran has been giving gifts of corporate hospitality to members of the MCLG, and during their last meeting, the members were thanking Mossmorran staff for these gifts, which included tickets to corporate hospitality events and other gifts.
Other Community Councillors echoed the concerns of Hood.
At this point Chair McPherson requested Hood to be silent, claiming he is being 'political'.
After silencing Hood, the Chair tried to allay fears of the additional dumping of 33,000 tons of CO2 in the atmosphere by stating that it was only CO2 and that according to Mossmorran, there was no threat to the local community.
Concerns were raised over the lack of funding and donations from Mossmorran into the local community, and it emerged that Mossmorran only donated £50 to the Lochgelly Gala, and when the Lochgelly Community Development Forum refused the donation, Mossmorran then donated £75.
It also emerged that schools in Lochgelly have received no money from Mossmorran for the past couple of years. Chair McPherson claimed that the schools do receive funding, but CC McKenna claims that St. Pats is excluded from this funding
CC Schulz again made calls for Mossmorran, and also representatives from SEPA to attend a public meeting to discuss the fine, and other issues regarding Mossmorran. Shultz would also like the Lochgelly Community Council to approach other Community Councils (Cowdenbeath, Lumphinnans, etc.) and find out their specific concerns and form a working group that will bring their concerns together, on a united front, to try and tackle Mossmorran.
CC David Hempseed stated that the Lochgelly Community Council should just be seeking answers for Lochgelly. CC Stevie Murray backed the concerns of Schulz and supported his action for a collective approach.
It was agreed that CC Schultz and CC Murray can try and form a group to bring together the other Community Councils, to raise their concerns collectively.
Councillor Hood was then allowed to speak, but was quickly silenced again, which led to Hood walking out of the meeting. When the behaviour of the chair was questioned, other Community Councillors were snubbed which resulted in another 3 Community Councillors walking out of the meeting.
The meeting returned to normal and CC Linda Erskine raised concern over the amount of Wind Farms currently being planned, or approved, that will impact on Lochgelly, as well as raising concern over the amount of wind farms currently being planned for the Fife area.
CC Erskine stated that the landscape would be blighted, and also raised concerns that Fife may be left with 'rusting great big hulks', and wanted the Community Council to be more proactive on the issue. Chair McPherson stated that they can only object.
CC Erskine then raised concerns over the proposed traveller site, and it was agreed that the Community Council will monitor the situation closely, making a public announcement objecting to the development, and will oppose the plans.
After the discussion on the traveller site ended, the meeting was starting to come to a close with no other Community Council business. At this point the 'LoSW' representative and a member of public raised their hands to be able to discuss their own issues of concerns in Lochgelly.
The Chair failed to take any notice, and CC Murray had to intervene and request that the members of the public, who have sat through 2 hours of discussion should be able to speak. Chair McPherson then agreed to allow the members of the public a chance to speak.
A member of the public raised concern that their letter sent to the Community Council had not been acknowledged in the correspondence section, and requested their questions be discussed, regarding Bank Renewables, and if any other meetings have been held between Bank Renewables and Lochgelly Community Councillors.
The member of the public also raised concern that it appears that some Community Councillors do not always feed back into the main Community Council meetings, when they have carried out some duty/action on behalf of the Community Council.
Chair answered the member of public and reassured them that no additional meetings have took place between the Chair and Bank Renewables. The Chair also apologised that this was an oversight on not keeping the Community Council informed.
The LoSW representative was then allowed to raise their concerns, but first the Chair warned that they had received complaints about them for speaking at the previous public meeting, out of turn.
This led to the LoSW representative stating that they spoke at the prior meeting because the current agenda used by the Lochgelly Community Council breaches the Scottish Government Guidelines by not providing a space for members of the public to raise their questions or concerns.
The LoSW representative then requested that the next meeting, the agenda should include the section 'questions from the floor' to be in line with current Community Council regulations. This point was taken on board by the Community Council and the LoSW rep was allowed to raise their concern.
LoSW raised the issue of the Mossmorran turbines and asked if the Community Council had been notified, or if they were made aware of the planning application that had been approved for 2 x 100m turbines at Mossmorran by Airvolution energy. None of the Community Councillors were aware apart from the Chair.
LoSW then told the Community Councillors that the turbines had been approved, which may have been illegal, since Fife Council own the verge of the land, which means that the decision to approve or reject the turbines should have been handled by a committee and not Fife Council as they have a vested interest in the development.
Chair denied that the turbines had been approved and that the application was only for an anemometer mast (measuring wind speed). LoSW had to point out that the applications are approved and the developer has put in another application for turbines to be increased to 125 metres (410 feet) in revised locations, and that the information is available in black and white on the Fife Council website.
It was agreed that LoSW can send an email to Community Councillors with details and links to the planning applications of the Mossmorran turbines and the Banks Renewables turbine applications.
The meeting was then closed, and the next meeting will be held at the Royal Oak Community Club on the 14th April, starting at 7pm.

Motherfest: Should boys get circumcised?
Whether or not to circumcise a baby boy is a controversial topic among American parents. For decades, it was practically a given that male children went under the knife a few days after birth, and many of us didn't see our first in-tact foreskin until traveling in Central America or Europe.
"My grandfather got circumcised, my dad got circumcised and I got circumcised. I guess you could call it a family tradition," says Nate Goodman, who decided, along with his wife Jenny, to circumcise their son Mitchell who is now 4 years old.
These days, however, many parents opt not to circumcise baby boys. According to the National Health and Social Life Survey, only 55 percent of all U.S.-born males were circumcised in 2003. However, certain regions in the U.S. circumcise more than others. In the Midwest, some studies show that 80 percent of boys are still getting circumcised, while on the West Coast, it's as few as one in four.
"Why cause him so much pain for something that's done just for aesthetic purposes?" asks Emily Smith, the mother of three uncircumcised boys.
Unlike Europeans and Latinos, Jews and Muslims routinely practice circumcision, but many parents who don't have racial or religious reasons feel that it's an unnecessary procedure.
Today, most physicians agree that there are few -- if any -- medical reasons to circumcise, and that a lot of pro-circumcision beliefs originated when people didn't bathe regularly. (Even though it's possible that uncircumcised males are prone to penile infections, the overall occurrence is still very low.)
Hence the decision to circumcise is based on religious, cultural and aesthetic preferences. One of the most common reasons is because dads want their son's penis to look like their own. Another common argument is that uncut kids will get teased in the locker room.
In many parts of the country, locker room embarrassment is less likely because having the whole enchilada is more commonplace, but because circumcision stats are still high in the Midwest, such an argument might hold water in Milwaukee.
"It's tough enough being a kid, why add another thing that could make life even tougher?" asks Goodman.
Smith says her sons, two of whom are old enough to change in locker rooms, haven't experienced any teasing. "If anything, I have noticed people MY age glancing at them, but not in a disapproving way. I think a lot of American women are just curious what one looks like," she says.
For whatever it's worth, neither of my sons is circumcised. Our oldest, born in Guatemala, came to us uncircumcised at 9 months old, so we the decision was more or less made for us. However, we opted not to circumcise our biological son to spare him from the pain, but mostly, so it was something he and his brother had in common, rather another thing that was different.
Am I concerned that they'll get teased in the locker room? Sure, I've thought about it, but I hope to arm my boys with information and swift comebacks. For instance, if anyone tries to give 'em crap about not being circumcised, I fully intend to teach them to say something like, "Why are you checking out my package, anyway?" or "Every Superman needs a cape."

Experimental proof done: circ lops off the most erogenous! John Taylor http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/taylor already did the anatomical, histological proof, in 1996. But the formidable article by Sorrells & al. (2007) gives experimental evidence that circumcision mutilates the most erogenous part of the penis : http://www.icgi.org/touch-test/touch-test-article.pdf Cordially yours, Sigi

Glen Powell said: Are we also going to start pulling our infants teath out so he will not get cavities? It has been proven that circumcision has no medical benefit. Removes alot of sexual pleasure and if it does prevent any disease it is such a small percent it should not be considered.. parents please dont circumcise

Kurt said: My Dad was intact, and I was intact until I was in 5th grade. By this time my parents were divorced, and my Mom had me circumcised just to avoid the "locker room trauma". At that time I was VERY glad to finally "be normal", as about 98% of my peers [I was in Jr & Sr high school in the 60's] were circumcised. I feel that it IS important for a boy to fit in. Nowadays though, with a lot of guys being NOT circumcised ... I guess you could go either way.

Melissa T. said: I would never even think of circumcising a son. I have been with both, and no question that men with their foreskin get more out of foreplay and intercourse. The circumcised men are so much rougher, and you have to be rougher when you stimulate them or they don't get anything out of it. The intact men I've been with...no comparison! Circumcised men don't know what they're missing and I feel bad for them as it wasn't their fault they don't know what could have been.

Capsule Contributes to Transmigration of Streptococcus pneumoniae Serotype 7F Meningitis Isolates through Complex Blood Brain Barrier Models
Author(s): Elena Fuchs, Christopher Untucht, Manfred Rohde, Michael Steinert and Simone BergmannElena Fuchs, Christopher Untucht, Manfred Rohde, Michael Steinert and Simone Bergmann
Streptococcus pneumoniae is known as an opportunistic pathogen which belongs to the most common etiological agents of local and systemic diseases in humans. In immune compromised patients, pneumococci infiltrate the meninges and cause life threatening inflammation. Recently, we have established a transwell-based Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) model with human endothelial-like cells and astrocytes providing a reliable tool to study pathogenesis mechanisms of bacterial and parasitical transmigration of the cellular barrier between vascular system and cerebral tissue. We applied this model with the aim to study the role of the polysaccharide capsule of a clinical isolate from a meningitis patient identified as a highly virulent serotype 7F pneumococcus. After optimization of the transformation procedure for this clinical isolate, we successfully deleted the capsule gene locus and con.. Read More»
