In Sex Differences in Infant Care Trump Gender-Neutral Ideology a study of professors taking post-birth parental leave found that
Male professors who take paid leave tend to use a majority of their time on things other than infant care, such as advancing their publishing agendas, he said. In contrast, women use the time to do a significant majority of infant care tasks -- on top of breastfeeding, perhaps the most time-consuming and physically demanding task.
Evolution has shaped women to enjoy child care, especially of infants, Steven Rhoads said.
The article concludes that even men who believe in equally sharing care of infants and toddlers, don't do the work. Men on parental leave still left most of the child care to their wives, including those who worked full time.
The article implies that men shouldn't be expected to do a fair share, since women are, he thinks, genetically programmed for it and they aren't. To me this sounds a lot like justifying slavery based on the idea that slaves are naturally endowed to their lot. The researcher, of course, is a man.

Can I just say how much I'm enjoying the accompanying photo? Well played.
My MIL often tells me how lucky I am because her son is so much more involved with our children than her husband ever was. Quite frankly I think that says more about her standards than anything else; her son is involved now because he didn't do sh*t with our first child, and our marriage damn near ended over it. He's a great dad now, although I wouldn't say the work is divided 50/50.
I think every family has to find their own balance, as John D and The Nerd have observed already. But making the umbrella statement that "Evolution has shaped women to enjoy child care" is a cop-out; an excuse for men to leave the lion's share to women. Men are as good at child care as they want to be.
John D, I agree completely. I'd be happy to pay more attention to the car maintenance, but I've chosen not to; since I do 100% of the laundry and dishes, I feel like topping up my washer fluid occasionally is enough. So I let DH deal with the cars, it makes him happy and he smells like grease anyway. ;)
It goes back to working out that balance - if splitting the work down traditional gender lines works for both parties, that's fine. The problems arise when one partner isn't pulling weight, for whatever reason. A cop-out is a cop-out.
Well said, Saucy Jane! Appeals to evolution in an attempt to explain gender differences ignore what's hiding in plain sight: that people have adapted to be individually flexible and adaptable. We are what we make ourselves and, as couples, the only right answer to the question of roles is the answer that works for each couple and each individual within each couple.
My first reaction: 1) Society may well have shaped men to feel more driven to focus on their careers than women. 2) Society may well have conditioned women to feel guilt if they don't report enjoyment when spending time on parenting duties. 3) I would guess that more of the male professors had wives who stayed home full time than female professors had husbands who stayed home full time. If she's on maternity leave and her husband is still working somewhere then she'll do the majority of the childrearing and bonding that makes childcare enjoyable. If he's on paternity leave and his wife is a stay at home mom, he may feel like a fish out of water or like a third wheel, he may have less one on one time to bond, and may then take less pleasure in the experience.
Interestingly, the article briefly allows for the first two of these possibilities in the second to last and third to last paragraphs, but it draws its conclusions much earlier when, without any indication as to why he makes this assertion (other than an appeal to hormones, which is not new or unique to this study), the author says that "evolution has shaped women to enjoy childcare". If hormones are the crux of his argument, he should have measured hormone levels to see of they correlated with increased enjoyment. In other words, among those who enjoyed childcare more, what were the hormone levels of the carers? The author has also previously published a book called "Taking Sex Differences Seriously" which could be construed as calling his impartiality into account.
Having said all this, I should admit that my own impartiality can be called into account due to the fact that I was a stay at home dad for 5 years.
Most of your points are right on, Skeptical Blogger. However I have no sympathy for
If he's on paternity leave and his wife is a stay at home mom, he may feel like a fish out of water or like a third wheel, he may have less one on one time to bond, and may then take less pleasure in the experience.
Two adults at home full time -- I'd assume they would sit down and divvy up the child care and other household tasks fairly.
My son in law and his wife divvy up baby care by "She takes care of input and he takes care of output." There is no need for anyone to suffer feelings of confusion or irrelevancy, unless they're afraid to negotiate as equals.
Re: No sympathy for the 3rd excuse, I agree with you, Ruth. I don't think that this is a good reason for an unequal division of household/childrearing involvement, but I bet in those circumstances its effects exist nonetheless.
Crap study, if you ask me. Note the "co-authored by Steven Rhoads, a political scientist," (emphasis mine), and not rigorous or highly developed. How could you draw conclusions about parenting for everyone by a small subset of college professors, anyway?
Anecdotally, I've always been the primary caretaker of the children, in and out of marriage. Now divorced, I do everything the majority of the time. Not that this is indicative of men in general, but this perspective that "only women are real parents" is a load of sh*t. I love my children, I spend all my time outside of work with them, and value every minute. I am not suggesting that men and women are the same, but I am of the opinion that we are valuable parents and get the short end of the stick.

I rode down the sidewalk at Wisconsin and crossed the street at Nebraska. I rode down Nebraska to Ward circle and went right onto Massachusetts. I crossed the street at the crosswalk and docked my bike. I really wish that I had Strava-ed it. It was epic.
My mutli-modalism got me thinking about two things. The first thing is the epic dollar bill vs. dollar coin ad battle going on in the Metro. Why did no one tell me about this?
The second thing was about "last mile" bike commutes, which is admittedly more within the scope of this blog. It's especially within the scope of the blog today, since that was pretty much my bike commute today. It's not within the periscope of this blog because, unfortunately, I don't commute by submarine. Anyway, what I'm trying to say about what I'm trying to think about "last mile" bike commutes is that it's exactly these kinds of bike commuters we should aim all of our collective advocacy. People who are willing to ride 5-10 miles are pretty much already convinced as to the utility of the bicycle as the means of getting around. I think focusing efforts of building good infrastructure for "last mile" commuters (and by infrastructure, I think I mean Bikeshare station and bike lanes and such) is really tantamount. And then all you need to do is set about convincing people that taking a bike for the "last mile" isn't that hard. I don't know about the convincing part, which might or might not be hard, but riding a bike for five minutes isn't very difficult and on a nice day, it sure beats waiting for a shuttle bus. Maybe even on a really crappy day too. I suppose it depends how much you dislike shuttle buses.
I sort of lost track of where I was going with all this, so I'm just going to segue into something else. According to this article, here are DC's top 13 private employers (as of 2009).
- Georgetown University
- George Washington University
- Washington Hospital Center
- Children's Medical Center
- Howard University
- Georgetown University Hospital
- American University
- Fannie Mae
- Catholic University of America
- Providence Hospital
- Howard University Hospital
- Sibley Memorial Hospital
- George Washington University Hospital
- Providence Hospital is about one mile away from the Brookland and Fort Totten stations. This seems like a good candidate for a Bikeshare station (as does the Fort Totten Metro, but that's a different story) and associated bike improvements.
- Fannie Mae is less than a mile away from Tenleytown and only a little farther from Van Ness and would also benefit from a Bikeshare station. It's on Wisconsin Avenue, which, in my opinion, would benefit from a road diet.
- Sibley is probably the most isolated of the private employers, but it's still only about 2 miles away (a 10 minute bike ride) from the Metro, which is a totally bikeable distance. A signed bike route (maybe through the backways and residential streets) and a Bikeshare station would definitely a welcome addition.
I just think that bike infrastructure and improvements not only needs to be thought about in terms of building a network, but it also needs to consider where people are coming from and where they actually want/need to go. Bike lanes need to go where people need to go and if they don't, then they're not useful, no matter how many miles you put in. There's also a whole social justice/equity angle to consider, but you can consider that at your own leisure. Or not, if you don't like those sorts of things.

In My Day...
Seriously, though, things have changed A LOT since I wrote that first novel:
1) When I first started writing my Horror Masterpiece at the ripe old age of nineteen, I was writing on an old-fashioned electric typewriter. The kind where if you made a mistake you had to unscroll the paper, uncap your white-out, and wait for it to dry before starting again. No computers for us, we were real writers...with the paper cuts to prove it.
I remember getting my first word processor. It was ENORMOUS! And awesome!!! It had this tiny little screen with dot-matrix letters, but I could type my entire manuscript and store it on a floppy disk before printing it out. It was like I'd died and gone to editing heaven.
2) I didn't have agentquery.com. Or the internet at all. I spent hours and hours...and hours...scouring through the pages of The Writer's Market, highlighting agents (and publishers) that would consider both first-time authors AND horror novels.
Again, more paper cuts...
3) Email? What is this E-M-A-I-L you speak of??? We had good old fashioned Snail Mail. Always. No instant gratification for us. I would mail my query letter and wait for days. Weeks. Months, maybe.
Okay, maybe that part's not so different.
4) I couldn't cyber-stalk anyone. I couldn't check the Twitter/Facebook/blogs of the agents and editors I was waiting on to see if their status updates had changed. I couldn't look to see if they'd posted an update that they were reading "the scariest book ever written" by a new author they were planning to "pluck out of obscurity". I couldn't read what they'd eaten for lunch. They were on the East Coast and I was on the West Coast...and there was nothing but a good old-fashioned plane ride to bridge that gap.
So, what hasn't changed? In all the years between my doomed horror novel and today, there are a lot of things that have stayed the same: 1) Like I said before, agents and editors still make you wait. They're buried in those e-queries and submissions, and the wait-time doesn't seem to have changed a whole heck of a lot.
2) Query letters are hard. You need to find that balance between professional and not-boring, stand-out and not-cheesy. Basically, you need to knock their socks off...or at least keep them from nodding off.
3) You want to make sure your manuscript is in its best possible shape. You want a tight, finely tuned draft. You want it as error-free as possible. You want drama/action/intrigue/romance...whatever it is that will keep a reader's attention. You want show-not-tell. Make sure it's ready before submitting.
4) Publishing is still tough. After all these years, that much still hasn't changed. It's tough, tough, tough.
Even the internet couldn't change that.

I identified with so much about the first half!! I remember getting a typewriter with a self-correcting ribbon. I had to take out the ink ribbon and put in the self-correcting one, backspace, and type the letter again, and it would white out just that letter. Ah! Amazing progress that was!!
And the writer's market... don't get me started on the utter out-dated uselessness of that monstrous book!
You're right... the publishing industry IS still hard, but I think we have a much better idea of how to be successful now, how to find what they are looking for and how to write good queries and where to send them that hasn't already been outdated. Maybe that makes it harder though, too. It evens out the playing field between the people only sort of wanting it and those who really, really want it.
Very interesting post! (so sorry i rambled so much.... I don't have it in me to write just a little, unless I'm working on my WIP)

PJ- You and me both, sister, I could never go back to my typewritin' ways!
Heidi - I forgot about all the hours I spent at the library looking up articles on *how* to write a query and just on the publishing process in general since I couldn't Google every little thing. I think I'm in LOVE with the internet!!!
LiLa - A patience app...yes, please!
Tam - OMG, yes! My office had an IBM Selectric and I loveloveloved it!!!! And then I got my word processor (the one that took up 1/2 of my dining room table) and I realized how "outdated" the IBM really was.

I'm still stuck on the whole query letter thing. It is like dating or showing up at a meeting with crap in your teeth. Why can't I just be honest and not have to worry what the popular kids (agents) think? I think I'm going to start with, "This shit is dope," and see if I get any bites.
Oh, and thank goodness for the "interwebs" as LiLa refers to them. I'd be like, "You want me to look up what? Book sales, who?"
I'm kinda lazy like that.

Although I'm old enough that we had our first home computer by the time I was in school, I was obsessed with the 1950's typewriter and 80's era word processor that my parents kept around, and commandeered those for my incipient writing career. I learned to type on those things! Ahhh.
But by the time I was ready to start REALLY writing, I switched to our home computer. I can't imagine the pains of writing an entire novel on those monoliths, fun as they are.

Surgery is the initial procedure in the treatment of many solid cancers. Surgery and other invasive procedures work by removing cancerous tissues.
A thyroidectomy is an operation to remove all or part of the thyroid gland. There are four main types of thyroidectomy:
- Lobectomy and isthmusectomy—One of the two lobes and the central isthmus are removed.
- Bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy—Both lobes and the isthmus are removed, with only a small bit of thyroid tissue from the back of the gland left behind. This thyroid tissue is left behind in order to avoid injury to nearby parathyroid glands and nerves.
- Near total thyroidectomy—All of one lobe and the isthmus are removed; most of the other lobe is removed, with only a small bit of thyroid tissue left behind.
- Total thyroidectomy—Both thyroid lobes and the isthmus are totally removed.
For the treatment of follicular, papillary, or medullary thyroid cancer, near total or total thyroidectomy is usually recommended. These types of surgery provide the best chance for a cure. Lymph nodes in the area can be examined and removed during the course of the procedure.
You will receive a general anesthetic prior to your thyroidectomy. You'll be placed on the operating table. A roll will be positioned under your shoulders and the base of your neck, so that your head is flexed back and your neck exposed. A curved incision will be made in your lower neck, and the tissue will be pulled back to expose the thyroid gland and surrounding lymph nodes. The thyroid gland, lymph nodes, and any tissues that appear to have been invaded by the cancer will be removed. Your surgeon will be very careful during the operation to try to avoid nicking or injuring all of the parathyroid glands and nearby blood vessels and nerves.
If you are making a good recovery, you may be able to go home from the hospital within a day or two of a thyroidectomy. You may be able to return to work within about a week.
Thyroidectomy is extremely effective for early stage thyroid cancer, providing a nearly 100% chance of cure.
Possible complications of a thyroidectomy include the following:
- Bleeding into the surrounding tissues around the trachea causing problem with breathing
- Injury to the parathyroid glands or their blood vessels, resulting in hypoparathyroidism (which is preventable with transplanting the parathyroid glands at the time of the surgical procedure)
- Injury to nerves in the neck, which can cause a persistently hoarse voice or, in rare cases, airway obstruction that requires breathing assistance (tracheotomy)
- Infection
Your vital signs will be monitored regularly after surgery (heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, temperature), and you will be given intravenous fluids. You'll be allowed to drink liquids and perhaps advance to a soft diet some hours after surgery. Additionally, your doctor will monitor blood calcium levels by giving you tests and by tapping on your cheek to see if your facial nerve is twitchy (a sign of low blood calcium).
You will most likely:
- Have a sore throat for a day or two
- Feel nauseated for the first 12 hours or so after your operation
- Require pain medication and/or antinausea medication
- Take thyroid medication for the rest of your life
- Take vitamin D and calcium supplements (if your parathyroid glands have been injured during surgery)

We discussed this in the old forum and since sharpening seems to be a bugaboo for a lot here's how you do it.
#1. You will get better the more you do it like anything else. You learn the "feel" and get the muscle memory with practice.
#2 Get a $19.00 4 sided diamond block from Northern Tool etc, many other retailers have them for a similar price they have 200-600 grit.
You only need to put water on it and you will die before you wear it out. Stoke the blade like you are trying to shave a slice from the "stone" at a 25 deg angle an equal number of stokes on each side, if you do 2 on one side, do 2 on the other, if you do 4, then 4 on the other side.
#3 Use the first 2 roughest surfaces to establish an equal bevel on both sides of the blade about 1/8" of an inch wide, not more.
#4 When each side is even and equal and relatively sharp go to grit 3 then 4.
#5. Having a magnifying glass is helpful to spot any flat spots on the very edge of the blade, work until you have a zero edge and both sides are identical.
#6 It's now sharp, but not sharp enough.
#7 Get a "Translucent Arkansas" stone, it's about a 6000 grit. Put some Hoppe's #9 on it and stroke it at least 50 strokes per side on this maintaining the bevel you established. It will remove most all of the diamond stone marks and remove the microscopic sawtooth edge you can't see but is there.
#8 Get a stick of Dico Brand stainless steel buffing rouge, the kind made for a buffing wheel. Take a piece of smooth thick leather, an old belt works great and rub the surface with it until you have a layer built up. If you have a custom saddle shop nearby stop in and get a 6"x4" piece of heavy saddle leather, that's even better and will last a lifetime.
Strop your blade on this until the 1/8" bevel you established is polished like a mirror, keep your angle shallow so that you don't round that zero edge your previous work established.
Your knife is now as sharp as a surgeons scalpel, go ahead, shave some hair off the back of your hand.
#9 To resharpen you should now only have to get out the Arkansas stone and the leather strop. Sharpen often with these 2 and you won't ever again remove more than a few microns worth of metal and your knife will last a long time. Most knives are worn out by sharpening too often on too rough of a stone, rough stones don't make sharp knives, they can't, they are only for establishing a bevel. Fine stones make sharp knives.
Now practice.

Re: Sharpening Knives
After wearing out several ATS-34 and S30V steel knives by Benchmade, Buck and GT I finally pretty much went the way you have Montaniapatriot. I've got all kind of sharpening equipment here but I was given a Chefs Choice electric sharpener. It does an okay job but sure wears out good steel. I've got a 2 sided Duo Sharp 5"X12 diamond 2 sided fine (600 mesh or 25 micron) and super fine (1200 mesh or 09 micron) I've also got a bunch of others round, flat and even a diamond South Africa Warthog cross diamond sharpener. But to finish everything off I've got a 1"X42" leather belt strop "Surgi Sharp" made by Wheatland that strops my knife to a shaving edge. It mounts on my Craftsman belt sander. I also have 140 grit to 1000 grit 1"X42" sanding belts that are great for sharping tools or knives that are going to take too long on the diamond sharpener. I try to use it more than anything so I don't wear out so many more new knives. I'm always amazed at how many people carry a dull knife. I also learned from my Dad to not loan a knife until you know what they want it for. Dad always kept good care of his knives and a coworker asked to borrow his one day. Dad caught him using it to clean the acid and corrosion out of a battery cable. The other guy didn't want to mess his own knife up.

Re: Sharpening Knives
For the last 20+ yrs.? I bought all of my sharpening ?Stones etc.? From Smokey Mountain Knifeworks.? I have their Arkansas Stones in different grits.? And I use their Horning oil as well.? With a little time & some work.? they bring all of my knives,? Axes, To Razor sharpening edges.? I never had any reason to try or switch to a Diamond type stone etc.? I say " IF IT AINT BROKE.? Well you know the rest of it.?
Re: Sharpening Knives
Ridurall your dad's experience with his friend was the first laugh I have had today. The old "cleaning the battery cable with the pocket knife trick" is never good! Is that not something, a guy borrows someone else's knife to do work he would not dare to use his own for? Plus, wonder what the lead battery cable connection looked like when he finished with it! Thanks for the story.
Re: Sharpening Knives
I use the lansky crock sticks with box. And a smith's sharpening stone. Pretty much those two give me a working edge in no time. I don't keep my knives shaving sharp just sharp enough. Rough it up on smith's then lansky at 25 degree angle. I have a lot of knives. ATM I'm carrying a 9 inch Frank Beltrame switchblade with the standard edge.
My opinel is such a thing flat knife that I sharpen it at 20 degrees and it will shave but the thin edge doesn't hold up to heavy cutting and soon looses its edge. Quick to resharpen however.

Re: Sharpening Knives
I think 22 is the magic number but better to err on the shallow side. I always work on just one side of the blade until I can run the back of my finger nail along the edge and detect a small hook/edge where you've finally ground the edge to the point where you're now just pushing the edge over into a J. Then I flip it over and run the other side just a few strokes to straighten it out, and repeat with a finer grit. Nothing more fun than taking the rock to family or friends and making all their kitchen knives kick ass in 15 minutes.

Just grabbed one of those Work Sharp tools for 60 bucks. Been meaning to get something to go through our kitchen knives with and get all sharpened and squared away, and all my personal, carry, and camp/hike/survival knives as well.
Looong over due to get a sharpening system setup. The handheld whetstone block my dad gave me so many years ago, well it'll be for memory-sake, not daily use. lol

Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson and Vince Gill Honored With Early 2012 ACM Awards
While several of the biggest 2012 ACM Awards will be doled out April 1 during the live telecast on CBS, time restrictions keep the other honorees from being awarded on-camera. For those awards that won't make the televised time slot — Special Awards, Industry Awards, Musician, Bandleader and Instrumentalist (MBI) and Songwriter of the Year — the Academy of Country Music is hosting its sixth annual ACM Honors event on Sept. 24, 2012, in Nashville.
One of the big names who will be celebrated that night is Kenny Chesney, who will be receiving the Crystal Milestone Award for his remarkable achievements, which include becoming a four-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, selling more than 10,500,000 tickets on 11 national tours, playing sold out shows in huge venues across the country and promoting the country genre to fans while also investing in younger country artists. Other country stars who have bagged this award in the past include Garth Brooks and Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles.
Another country great with an early win scheduled to be honored at the Sept. 24 event is Alan Jackson, who will walk away with the Jim Reeves International Award, an award that is awarded to an artist for "outstanding contributions to the acceptance of country music throughout the world." In this vein, Jackson played shows in Norway and Sweden first in 2009 and again last year, and his 2008 record 'Good Time' went platinum in Norway as well. Jackson has also taken his show to Australia, the UK and Germany and has plans to hit Canada later this year. Others who have received this award include Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and more.
Vince Gill will too be a guest of honor at the Nashville ACM shindig, being awarded with the Career Achievement Award for advancing the popularity and acceptance of country music through his work in multiple areas of the entertainment industry last year. Gill's 2011 record 'Guitar Slinger' garnered him a huge response and wide following, even meriting Gill a week in his honor set aside from Nashville Mayor Karl Dean surrounding the album release.
Gill also held the seat of Grand Marshal of Nashville's Christmas parade and landed a 'Good Housekeeping' cover with wife Amy Grant, also sharing the stage with Sting for the show 'CMT Crossroads.' Adding to all of this were Gill's various talk show appearances and his Grammy for 'Threaten Me With Heaven.' Others who have taken home this coveted award include Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire and more.
Chesney, Jackson and Gill are just three in a long list of country stars who will be receiving honors at the non-telecast ACM event, according to a press release.

That list makes no sense. On what planet is South Florida worth more than the University of North Carolina?
I kinda like that list, it may have a flaw here and there (what list doesn't?) and the numbers may be a tad bit inflated, but it sounds about right.
Oh, and from a football only sense, I can see where USF may have more merchandizing and TV revenue potential than UNC. After all, the 'Delta' is only 400k

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 9, 2013) – The ETSU baseball team wraps up its fall season this weekend as the Bucs hold their annual Blue-White World Series.
The series begins Thursday night at 7 p.m., while game two is set for Friday at 4 p.m. The Bucs wrap up the Blue-White World Series Saturday at 7 p.m. All three games will be played at Thomas Stadium.
This weekend's games are free and open to the public.
Last weekend the Bucs held a pair of scrimmages with Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Logan Rice (Erwin, Tenn.) and Will Chesney (Knoxville, Tenn.) accounting for scoreless outings on the mound. Freeman, who has tossed 11 scoreless innings this fall, scattered two hits in three innings of work. Rice also pitched three scoreless innings and struck out two, while Chesney went two scoreless frames. Chesney hasn't allowed a run in eight total innings this fall.
At the plate, senior outfielder Daniel Tucker (Hendersonville, Tenn.) went 3 for 7 with a pair of doubles, two RBI and two stolen bases last weekend. Junior Zach Thompson (Johnson City, Tenn.) hit .500 (3-6) with one double, two stolen bases and three runs scored, while Freeman also hit .500 (4-8) with two doubles. Meanwhile, sophomore Kevin Phillips (St. Louis, Mo.) and freshman Sam Jokerst (Atlanta, Ga.) both hit home runs for their respective teams.

A Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological and biblical research.
The modern village of Beni Hasan is one hundred sixty miles south of Cairo (and just north of Amarna on the map). Named after the local Bedouin tribe living for centuries, it sits adjacent to the ruins of Monet-Khufu, ancient capital of the sixteenth (Antelope) nome in Middle Egypt. Little of the city is left, except the rock-cut tombs in the cliffs high above the Nile's eastern shore. Here Egyptologists found a now-famous tomb painting which offers important insights into the world of the Biblical Patriarchs...

California wine grape growing has become as "narrowingly" uncertain as it has become more economically harrowing.
Vine balance starts with good vineyard design. Although that seems like a simple concept, it's actually where things start getting complicated, according to Jim Wolpert, Cooperative Extension viticulture specialist, University of California, Davis. Especially today with so many closely spaced vines where there is so much uncertainty.
"We do not know anything about the canopy based solely on row and vine spacing," he told attendees at a recent UCCE grape grower meeting in Paso Robles. "We have soils that are all over the map, varieties that are all over the map, and we know very little about them."
This gap in knowledge makes the notion of matching a rootstock to a soil very difficult, according to Wolpert. "Ford can tell you the towing capacity of Ford F-250, but we can't tell you the towing capacity of a rootstock."
Factors such as soil fertility and scion are givens at the onset of vineyard design. Given those factors, decisions such as rootstock, spacing and trellis design are still largely a guess when designing and constructing California's wine grape vineyards.
When it comes to vineyard design, the unknowns are akin to rolling the dice. "Let's say I'm a grower and I want to choose the optimum rootstock and the optimum spacing, but I still have to deal with a lot of uncertainty because I don't know much about rootstocks," he says. "We have a lot of narrow spaced vines today. We've changed the landscape considerably, and we're still trying to sort through an immense number of variables to come up with the answers."
The working definition of vine balance is when grapevine growth is appropriate for trellising and spacing, and the leaf area and amount of fruit are in proper proportion. There are two major contributors to vine balance, according to Wolpert. There are the conditions that are set at planting in vineyard design that are permanent and secondly, there are the conditions that are influenced by cultural practices.
Vigor important
Vigor is a significant dynamic in vine balance and is determined by several factors including soil fertility, rootstock and scion. Those are permanent factors, not cultural. "You can't control vigor with pruning," Wolpert says.
There are numerous scientific measurements to determine vine balance, but they are so far removed from the spectrum of practical commercial production that they are not terribly useful in determining vine balance. However, many of those measurements are correlated with pruning weight. Even more telling is pruning weight expressed per meter (or foot) and tied to shoot number and shoot weight.
In a Sangiovese study at Atlas Peak Vineyards in Napa, Wolpert looked at three scenarios that included 12, 20 and 28 shoots per vine. The rootstock was 3309C.
"Shoot number affects shoot length," Wolpert says. "Longer shoots have more leaf area and have a greater percentage of leaf area as laterals. Manipulating shoot number per vine does not change leaf area per vine, but changes the percentage of primary vs. lateral leaf area."
Lateral leaf area percentage decreased as shoot number per vine increased in the trial. Pruning weight was unaffected by shoot number.
"For vines of a given vigor, decreasing shoot number redistributes leaf area from shorter shoots to longer shoots and increases the percentage of lateral leaf area," Wolpert says. "It also decreases the leaf area to fruit weight ratio and decreases the fruit yield/cane prunings ratio."In an Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon trial, Wolpert looked at factors affecting shoot length and vine balance. In general, conclusions were that the average shoot length is related to the number of growing points rather than vine size. Additionally, not all rootstocks have the same response.With the same number of growing points on vines of the same size, 110R and 3309C will grow more, while 5C and O39-16 will grow less.Leaf area is not affected by pruning formula (buds/weight of prunings) but shifted from fewer longer shoots to more, shorter shoots.Rootstocks like 110R would be classified as "more vigorous," or having more leaf area.
Vineyard design
"For sustainability, balance is best achieved at vineyard design," Wolpert says. "We don't know as much about this concept as we should. In my opinion, we are at a greater risk of planting vines too closely than too far apart."
Annual practices can be tools to achieve balance, according to Wolpert. However, there are drawbacks to relying too heavily on annual practices rather than good vineyard design.
"It requires inputs that can be costly," he says. "Additionally, growers need to keep in mind that pruning is not one of the practices to achieve balance."
When growth is too great, excessive shoot growth and shading will result. When growth is too little, shoot numbers will be reduced, affecting yield per acre.

2008 Jeep Liberty Review - First DrivePosted in Vehicle Reviews on November 1, 2007
When Jeep invited us to drive the all-new '08 Jeep Liberty over Poison Spider Mesa in Moab, we raised an eyebrow. After all, the tricky Poison Spider Mesa isn't a bone-stock vehicle's "happy place." Would they regret it?
Our hosts stressed that our test was designed specifically for us to gauge the Liberty's off-highway capabilities. Along the way they never warned us away from tough obstacles, and as a matter of fact, they urged us to push the vehicle to the limit. It was immediately obvious that the new suspension is far smoother and less choppy then the previous setup. There is no increase in wheel travel over the previous Liberty, but no decrease either. It took us a while to get used to the ratcheting noises of the new All-Speed Traction Control. It was clear that the traction control system makes the new Liberty more capable-at least in the rocks-than its predecessor, simply because it can send power to a specific wheel to propel the vehicle. Because of this, we effortlessly crawled over a number of obstacles that would've halted other stock vehicles-or the previous-gen Liberty.
We also experienced the new Hill Descent Control that uses braking to allow a smooth and controlled descent without having to touch the brake pedal and Hill Start Assist, which can hold the vehicle briefly on steep inclines without the driver having to use the brake pedal. We weren't too crazy about the new Liberty's 29-degree approach angle, but we understand that good aerodynamics (i.e., decent fuel mileage) call for a low-hanging air dam. The upside is that Jeep engineers made the air dam easily removable (and we did), instantly making the approach angle a respectable 39.1 degrees. This is 3.1 degrees better than the previous-generation Liberty. Ground clearance, while improved slightly from the previous Liberty, is still low at 731/44 inches, so a cacophony of skidplate versus rock noises is the norm on rocky trails. We also dug the new Sky Slider canvas roof, which when opened offers an airy convertible feel, similar to the Wrangler.
Not too many stock vehicles can make it over Poison Spider Mesa without some sort of damage. After a day on the trail, our new Liberty had zero damage. This says a lot about its capabilities. We'll have a complete review of the new Liberty in our Four Wheeler of the Year coverage in the Feb. '08 issue.
What's Hot:
Sky Slider roof, approach angle without air dam, more interior room, low crawl ratio with manual trans, infusion of electronics.
What's Not:
Infusion of electronics, low ground clearance.
Our Take:
There's no question that it's improved over the previous Liberty and we're confident it'll appeal to the commuting masses. We'd like to see a ground-clearance-enhancing off-road package and totally cancelable electronics.

In the first campaign we had Meetup (and Yahoo - but Yahoo was uncool to the younger crowd).
In the second campaign a distributed infrastructure evolved on Facebook and kids bailed on MySpace and moved there.
What's left of our infrastructure and ability to regroup is left on Facebook (and Meetup), and young people are bailing from that site. It's where they are going, that is a problem:
Facebook 'dead and buried' as teenagers switch to WhatsApp and Snapchat - because they don't want mum and dad to see their embarrassing pictures
Alternative picture-sharing apps are growing along with Instagram
Study found many leave Facebook when their parents send friend request
University College London expert: 'Facebook is simply not cool any more'
Facebook is losing its appeal to teenagers as more and more parents start using it to keep tabs on them, researchers have discovered.
They say youngsters now consider the social networking site 'dead and buried' and are too embarrassed to post intimate details in case their mothers or fathers find out.
The research, which looked into the online habits of teenagers in eight European countries including the UK, found many young Facebook users were switching to alternatives such as Snapchat and WhatsApp.
So, what are we going to do about this? The study was of 16-18yo's, so a prime demographic for a 2 year campaign.
This suggests to me that the next campaign will be very picture and meme driven, in order to reach this demographic and it's going to be hard to connect with them. We don't have down how to make something go viral, yet.
So, thoughts and suggestions?

I have been visiting a lot of churches in the past few months and as a Roman Catholic visiting Churches not in communion with Rome, I have had to respectfully decline the communion plate and cup, an action that sometimes causes offense. These visits have forced me to think about the problem intercommunion among Christians and why it is good to refrain from partaking in the body and blood of Christ together until we are actually in communion.
I have visited, among others, a lot of Anglican churches recently, and in Anglican churches, right before communion is shared, the celebrant almost always says that all baptized Christians are welcome to the table; I have noticed that if it is a small congregation and the minister notices my unfamiliar face, he or she will inevitably offer this invitation. And when I refrain from going up for communion, a parishioner almost always comes up to me and says, "You know, everyone is welcome as long as you are baptized." (At least, there is still requirement of baptism; some churches have even done away with that.) I usually respond with, "I know. Thank you."
Occasionally, I have noticed that the priest or parishioner takes offense at my refusal to come to the communion table. They think I have rejected them; they probably assume that as a Roman Catholic, I am rejecting the validity of their Eucharist.
My decision to refrain has nothing to do with validity or lack thereof. During many non-Catholic services, I have experienced the same sense of the presence of God that overshadows me during the celebration of the mass at a Catholic Church. I don't really doubt that God is here. But that does not change the fact that we are divided.
In a recent conversation with an Anglican priest, I asked whether we should not confess the same faith before sharing the body and blood. She said, "yes, but we do. We believe in the Nicene Creed." This is a problematic reduction of confession of the same faith. Certainly, if all that is necessary is confession of the Nicene Creed, then there was no need for reformations and counter-reformations and the multiplicity of Christian confessions cacophonously claiming access to a more perfect understanding of God's revelation. Presumably, these divisions exist because there are consequential differences between us; differences that have great impact on our faith and morals. Is the Pope infallible? Are you saved once and for all by saying the sinner's prayer? Can one remarry after divorce? These differences must be worked out before we can honestly say we confess the same faith.
By partaking in Holy Communion together before doing this important work, we are shirking the responsibility of truly being one in Christ. Recently, an Anglican woman told me, "We don't really talk about what we believe. We assume that we believe the same thing." This is not oneness in Christ. This is a superficial gathering at the table; it is lazy. Instead of working towards Christian unity, it mocks it with indifferentism.
A few months ago, I attended a beautiful service at an Orthodox Church. And while the parishioners went up for communion, I knelt, mourning. I knelt knowing that Christ was indeed present and I could not receive Him, not until I have resolved my problem with my brothers and sisters. And so I did the only appropriate thing, I wept. I did not dream of avoiding the actual tragedy of Christian disunity by claiming a right to come to the table, nor by pretending that there were no real differences between us, nor did I dare feel rejected, as if the whole thing, the centuries of Christian strife was about me.
Weeping. That is what I disunity demands. We must start by weeping. It is this very need to weep that intercommunion avoids. When we refrain from partaking in communion together, we remind ourselves that there is a tear that needs to be mended. If we partake at the same table, what need is there to mend anything? Intercommunion must be the end of our ecumenical dialogue, not the beginning.
Furthermore, there are a good pastoral reasons for not offering communion to those not in your tradition. In his first letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul cautions us against the kinds of reception of the body and the blood that brings judgment to oneself (1 Cor. 11:29). In the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, there has always been an understanding that one cannot come to the table when one has serious, unconfessed sin in her life. This is not unique to these traditions, even evangelical reformers like John Wesley, were known to have asked people to refrain from the communion table unless they were repentant.
Unfortunately, given the disagreement among Christians about what constitutes sin and repentance, the discernment about whether one is prepared to receive communion can only occur within that particular tradition. When I walk into a protestant Church, it is possible that I may be unrepentant about something they consider sinful. Perhaps, the night before I walked into a particular Baptist Sunday service, I had had a few beers over a game of poker. I don't consider that sinful but many Baptists do. Likewise, the protestant does not know whether I refrain from communion because I have acted in ways that I consider sinful. And if sin does not factor into reception of communion, then that church simply does not take communion seriously.
Lastly, when a baptized person walks into the door, even if she is trying earnestly to follow Christ, it does not follow that she knows a thing about the Nicene Creed, or that he does not have some misguided notions about sin. It is the responsibility of each Church to shepherd these seekers in the ways that they believe will lead them into greater union with Christ. By rushing every baptized person to the communion table, Protestants are not only avoiding the hard work of Christian unity, they may be endangering souls.

Generalized Exfoliative Dermatitis
Advanced Medicine and Personal Care
What is generalized exfoliative dermatitis?
Generalized exfoliative dermatitis is a severe inflammation of the entire skin surface due to a reaction to certain drugs, or as a result of complications from another skin condition. In some cases, lymph node cancer (lymphoma) can cause generalized exfoliative dermatitis. Often, however, no cause can be found.
What are the symptoms of generalized exfoliative dermatitis?
The following are the most common symptoms of generalized exfoliative dermatitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- extreme redness of the skin
- scaling
- thickened skin
- itching
- swollen lymph nodes
- fever
- loss of fluids and proteins through the damaged skin
The symptoms of generalized exfoliative dermatitis may resemble other skin conditions. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
How is the cause of generalized exfoliative dermatitis determined?
Diagnosis includes careful elimination of known causes, such as certain drugs (i.e., penicillin and barbiturates). In addition, your physician may check for other skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, as well as for lymphoma (which may be the cause of the generalized exfoliative dermatitis condition), during a physical examination and medical history.
Treatment for generalized exfoliative dermatitis:
Specific treatment for generalized exfoliative dermatitis will be determined by your physician based on:
- your age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the reaction
- your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the reaction
- your opinion or preference
Severe cases of generalized exfoliative dermatitis may require hospitalization while the person is being treated with antibiotics, intravenous (IV) fluids, and nutritional supplements. Treatment will vary depending upon the cause:
- If certain drugs are causing the condition, eliminating them usually clears up generalized exfoliative dermatitis condition.
- If another skin condition causes generalized exfoliative dermatitis, treating the other skin condition usually clears up the generalized exfoliative dermatitis condition.
- If lymphoma is causing the condition, treating the lymphoma usually clears up the generalized exfoliative dermatitis condition.
Other treatments may include:
- heated blankets (to keep warm)
- cool baths
- petroleum jelly applied to skin, followed by gauze
- corticosteroids

The mystery of Miliband's caution
"A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma".
Ed Miliband's performance this morning on the Andrew Marr show reminds me of that old description of Winston Churchill's.
On the one hand, the Labour leader has done what many have demanded of him. He has unveiled not just one policy but a string of them - a reversal of what critics call the "bedroom tax", the strengthening of the minimum wage and an obligation on larger firms to train an apprentice for every non-EU skilled immigrant they hire.
On the other, he spent his conference curtain-raising interview with Andrew Marr sounding evasive about many other key policy questions.
Will the public sector pay cap be lifted?
Will top rate tax rise, let alone tax on those who the party now says are not rich (ie those earning £60,000)?
Will Labour change its opposition to an EU referendum?
Will the minimum wage go up under Labour? Will immigration go down?
The answer in each case was a mixture of little more than a wish - eg "I want to see the overall level of immigration fall/minimum wage go up" - or wait and see - "we'll spell out our plans at the next election."
This can partly be put down to Ed Miliband's unwillingness to promise what he knows he can't be sure to deliver (after all the government couldn't tell you the tax or immigration rate in 3 years time);.
It's partly due to his natural caution but it's also to do with style.
The Labour leader seemed to regard today's questions as an invitation not to give an answer but to deliver a pre-tested soundbite on a vaguely related issue.
So it is that Labour risks unveiling real policy substance and still leaving people wondering what on earth the man who wants to be our next prime minister might do if he reached Number 10.
The announcement on immigration/apprenticeships - "one in, one trained" - is fascinating. It is designed to cure two problems that many have long worried about - the so-called "free rider" problem (big companies relying on someone else to train the staff they need to recruit) and British firms' addiction to hiring immigrants as a cure to skill shortages.
I can see a potential problem with the policy.
Might firms not just move abroad or outsource rather than taking on the costs and bureaucracy of taking on an apprenticeship each time they want to hire skilled overseas workers?
Won't a company that feels it needs to hire 5 computer programmers from abroad simply outsource the work? I'll pose the question and post the answer when I get it.
Labour's answer to my question is that a version of this policy has been tried in Australia but hasn't led to a cut in jobs. Australia gives firms that want to take in an immigrant the option to pay into a training levy.
What's more, one of Ed's policy wonks tells me, there are already lots of conditions attached to sponsoring a migrant (for example the job has to be advertised in the UK first) so there's no reason to think an additional skills requirement will be the thing that will trigger exit or outsourcing.

There's a wrinkle in the outlook for expensive women's designer jeans.
Europe has more than tripled a tariff on the high-end denim creations, which could snag the boom for pricey pants.
Beginning Wednesday, the European Union duty on women's denim trousers manufactured in the United States jumped to 38% from 12%.
The hike, if passed along to customers in the form of price increases, could put a damper on denim exports to Europe, currently a growing market for U.S. denim makers.
But it is expected to disproportionately affect California denim makers, who make roughly three-quarters of American high-end denim. Low-end jeans are primarily manufactured abroad because of cheaper labor costs.
"When you look at the international markets and growth potential
The tariff hike, which was announced April 17, is seen as retaliation by the EU against the U.S. for failing to fully comply with a 2002 World Trade Organization ruling against the Byrd Amendment, which was a law that allowed the U.S. to levy additional duties on "unfairly traded" goods.

Narrow Selection
Item Type
The history of Israel and the people who played a part in it is crucial to the existence of the Holy Land as we know it. Leaders such as Golda Meir, David Ben-Gurion and Theodor Herzl are and should be considered role models for the entire nation. Streets and museums are named after these incredible people today. Show your appreciation for Israeli historic leaders by purchasing a mini action figure or modern art portrait from World of Judaica's Piece of History collection.
Our Israeli action figures come individually such as the Moshe Dayan action figure and the Menachem Begin action figure, but we also have a set for those customers who just can't choose one sole character they want. The modern portraits we sell come in a number of colors and would be great to hang on a living room or kitchen wall.
Our ceramic tiles are creative decorative pieces. These black and white square tiles come with a few different images on them and can be sold individually or as a set. They represent different scenes throughout Israel such as the Tower of David and Masada.
Our Piece of History collection contains other sets, portraits and figures as well that would make great souvenirs and gifts.

Tech slump pulls US stock market mostly lower
July 19, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks are slumping on Wall Street after weak results from Microsoft of Google, but the rest of the market is closing out a decent week.
The Standard & Poor's 500 managed a small gain, enough for the index to set another record high.
The S&P edged up two points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,692. It rose 0.7 percent for the week.
The Dow Jones industrial average slipped five points, 0.03 percent, to 15,543, held back by losses in Microsoft and IBM.
The Nasdaq fell 23 points, 0.7 percent, to 3,587. The Nasdaq was the only major index to lose ground for the week.
Microsoft plunged 11 percent after writing off $900 million on its tablet computer.
Slightly more stocks rose than fell on the New York Stock Exchange.

You will never know just how much I appreciate what you have done by introducing me to Divine Mother because I dont think I am able to fully express how much it means or the extent of my gratitude."
"The heart is the most delicate instrument in your system. The heart is what engages in relationships. Love is always the paramount experience in every relationship. This delicate instrument of the heart when bruised by rejection, experiences such great upheaval that it damages many areas of your subtle vibrational field."
"There are tremendous changes taking place in the subtle vibratory frequencies of the Earth that are affecting you. You are being transformed. It is occurring in your subtle infinite field first. Trust your Infinite Self. Many things that the small thinking mind does not know are known by your Infinite Self. So you are relying more on the intelligence of your Infinite Self and less and less on the thinking mind."
"Trust your infinite self. You are Divine Beings, brilliant with light. Powerful in your love. Wise beyond reason, wise in the deepest sense."
"A new Love, Divine Love is being magnified on this earth to stop the chaos. This new love is creating a tremendous transformation. It is creating self-love and self-value which has so long been missing in most of the human race, self-love. Embrace it and you will know our unity."
"Deep experience of love has many effects in your life. It is here in this depth of the heart that your perception of unity grows. Unity comes from here in the depths of the heart where nothing is known as separate. If there is resistance here, perceptions cannot be subtle enough to perceive unity. Focused attention on this subtle area allows the Truth to free you from separation."
I am Divine Mother. I want to be your environment: Love, knowledge, wisdom, trust, building a new Earth. But this time we know that it is just a play, so we can enjoy it more fully as we create exactly what we want on this Earth: happiness, freedom from poverty, freedom from disease, kindness, peace, end of war. We are building this."
"Stay strong, stay on your path, the path of Love. Trust me, you are being lifted and transformed. Be innocent. Through innocence I can communicate with you, through that innocent depth, that innocent intention to want the highest good. Break the structures of the mind that contradict the truth in your heart."
"When you invite me, it gives me a vibration to come in on that you can notice. I am concerned about you noticing me. I am always there, but you haven't always noticed. When you say my name, you create the vibratory frequency of my name that gives me the link from the subtle to you. So I come in on that vibration, and then your body, your awareness, your senses notice me."
"Our relationship is all about love, all about love. So when you are lost and afraid and in despair, start saying, "I love you, I love you." I am here. I want you. I want you to know me."
"It is coming back into love, deeper love and deeper love. That is what will move you through your life and create all the miracles."
Connie provides a completely safe, loving environment where you immediately go very deeply within yourself. Then Connie sits you in the lap of Divine Mother where you feel complete unconditional love.
It is lovely to work with someone like you that is so clear, loving, and filled with integrity. Thank you for being on the planet to assist with the ascension."
Thank you for helping me to live every day with an open heart. I love you"
What a joy to find such clear thinking. Thanks for your blog posts!"

CRESTVIEW � The Shoal River Middle School football team enters the preseason coming off a strong summer.
CRESTVIEW � The Shoal River Middle School football team enters the preseason coming off a strong summer.
Mustang coach Ryan Gillis praised his team for its willingness to get the job done after an impressive scrimmage against Ruckel Middle School on Friday.
"They have a maturity and a dadgum work ethic," he said. "They work hard in the weight room and it's showing off. We were running over people today and they are actually a bigger football team than us.
"They work hard when it's hot. I'd say they've had two bad practices with the heat. When I say bad practices, guess what, you are going to have a bad practice in the heat."
With the season�s beginning just a couple of weeks away, Gillis said the Mustangs are about where he expected them to be at this point.
"We still have a long ways to go, but I like where we are," he said. "We've got a lot of kids that are returning, but at the same time we've got a lot of new kids playing, so it's a good mix.
"It's usually about half and half on offense and defense with new kids and returners. It's usually a one-year turnover. Luckily, we've had a good run of kids that were good enough to start or play in the seventh grade and come back and be a base to build around in the eighth grade."
The Mustangs will have experience at linebacker, but will be young in the secondary. Gillis likes his defensive line that will have one sixth-grader starter.
Now, the Mustangs must finish the preseason strong as they look to the start of the regular season later this month.

Hi -- completely new to Madsonic -- seems great so far. I installed it on a Windows machine, and tinkered a bit with the settings, seems intuitive enough.
However, I've added a bunch of different media folders as sources. The first two, seemed to scan when I hit the scan files now link. However, it stops, and doesn't seem to scan any of the other folders (I have about eight more that I added). MadSonic does see those folders (if it doesn't, it'll post a warning beside the source and say media folder not found), but it just won't ever scan the media in those folders. Is there a limitation I'm unaware of, or something I'm doing wrong?
I'm running server 5.x on Windows 8.1.
Please help! Thanks.
