text: It's me again I've made use of remote API that is enclosed with new ISPConfig and made use of its documentation and made script which makes auttomatically accounts. It makes: site, ftp and mysql database. The problem is that when i logg into ftp account made by remote API I see nothing at all - it's empty BUT the dafault page ('This is the default index page of your website.') displays which suggest that his ftp account is not empty. I must admit that when I create ftp account in panel directly I see all the catalogues after ftp login... Any suggestions how to solve this problem? PS. In my scrip config I made a dir where ftp accounts are created like this: /var/www/clients/client%USERID%/web%WEBDOMAINID%/web/

I love that pizza is such an emotional subject. My declaration of Delancey as not only the best pizza in Seattle (and possibly the best pizza west of the Mississippi) as well as my claim that Seattle finally had "real" pizza got lots reaction. I think most of the negative responses were over my casual use of the word "real". To be fair to those folks, all the pizza in Seattle is indeed real. Unfortunately, almost all of it is real bad. To me, the most beautiful, simple, and core expression of pizza in the world is produced by Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitano on Coney Island in New York. I am not making a statement about the history of Pizza, where it originates, or anything that has to do with objective facts. I am stating my opinion that Totonno's Pizza is the most perfect expression of the pizza ideal in my head that I have ever had in the world (including in Italy) and that to me, all pizza should aspire to be like it. And Delancey, in my opinion, has equaled that pizza.
That said, there are other forms of pizza — and in fact, New York produces another favorite style, the uniform standard NYC pizza, not burnt like Totonno's, and almost always offered by the slice on almost every street corner. Seattle's pizza establishments most often try to emulate this offering. And they should as it's often very good, and certainly recognizable to pizza afficionados. I found myself in Everett recently. And since I don't go to Everett very often I knew that I better take advantage and head over to Brooklyn Bros. Pizzeria. I was told that it was as authentic as they come around here.
The establishment is adorable, and I'm sure if I was a local I'd be a Silvertips fan as well. But I didn't come for decor or for minor league hockey (as good as they each may be). I came to eat the fifth food group – pizza. We ordered the Bowery. Pepperoni, sausage, and roasted garlic. Lots of all of it. There are many ingredients in what I call the "unfair advantage" category. Add them to most things, and they get better disproportionately to the ingredient's importance (or quantity) in the dish. Butter, truffles, bacon, etc. Garlic is definitely one of them, and the brothers Brooklyn weren't shy with it. There were copious quantities of garlic. Boatloads in fact. And the pizza, well, it rocked. Cheating? Perhaps. Delicious? Definitely.
It was certainly not a Delancey pizza. And that was fine. This is a different animal. This pizza more closely resembles the better of the pies you find all throughout Manhattan. It wasn't just the heady mix of ever-so-slightly spicy sausage, crisply cooked pepperoni curling above the fray, flavorful sauce, and again… that intense amount of garlic in every bight, but the crust… well it was incredibly buttery. I'm not saying butter was used, but buttery is the only way to describe the crust. It was almost drippingly so, and it served the pizza well.
I felt that the only way to really understand the quality here was to have a slice of cheese pizza in addition to our pie. And unfortunately, this wasn't quite what we'd hoped. To be fair, it sat out for awhile as slices are supposed to do. But even after reheating in the pizza oven it wasn't great. Something was off in the ratio between the cheese and the sauce. And the overabundance of cheese felt a bit rubbery as well.
The whole pie we got was so yummy garlicky good, that even if that's the only pizza they make well I would gladly go back to eat it again and again. And I have a feeling that these Brooklyn siblings (such as they are) are probably good at a bunch of others as well. For now I'm assuming the slices just had an off day, and the fresh pies are all a treat. Here's to finding out for sure!
Brooklyn Bros. Pizzeria, 1919 Hewitt Ave, Everett, WA 98201 (425) 258-6900, website. For all our Seattle writeups and photo galleries check out our Seattle restaurant guide on Tastingmenu.

IGN - IGN digs deeper into Fuse's single-player with Insomniac's Ted Price to learn about its design, aesthetic, and action.
Not saying anything about the game itself, but I'm not sure I trust IGN's integrity these days... :\
After the trailer I'm keeping my eyes on it. It looks like a fun Co Op game with a good story-line this time.
I can't begin to comprehend how bad the gameplay/design looks. REAL REAL generic.
I find it frustrating how people are so quick to write things off before even trying it. That could be attributed to games (Fuse, latest Call of Duty), to peripherals (Move, Kinect), to systems (Vita, Wii U).
This could be a fun game if people are willing to actually give it a chance. What I witness all the time in forums is a lot of negativity.
It has EA's stamp on it so It will be your average shooter though.


text: Hi all, here is the scenario: Webserver has also the ISPConfig 3 Control panel installed. Originally I wanted to use the DB server for all databases e.g. mail, web but I think I will waive this idea, because it will get much too complicated for an old guy like me and detach the db server. Here is what I would like to do: Run all mail issues on the mail.server.tld using ISPConfig3 but not the web server database. I would like to use the Mail Server to store vmail accounts or at least being available. I would like to also install Roundcube onto the mail server. I think it is a lot easier to understand if the database is on the mail server unless there is an easy way to tell ISPConfig3, to use the mail server which is on a different public IP. I hope that's the way it works, or I might have already lost my train of thought here. So far I figured that I need another apache server on the mail server. However, if I do that, ISPConfig loses control over it or? If I don't, I don't know where to put roundcube! If I put roundcube onto the web server, it will not find the mail database. I haven't understood what ISPConfig handles and what not, perhaps I will never undestand? I am concerned to follow some other tutorials that assume that everything is on the same server (physically). This is the part I am not really following. Also, some data would be on the server with the control panel and other data would be elsewhere, possibly inaccessible to the web server. Just a small annoyance note: It would be nice if the Advertisement, in some editing instance, could be kept in its designated space so I can see what I just wrote! without dissappearing undeneath it! NOT sure if I expressed my goals in such way that others will understand what I would like to do. On another note, it seems every time I do a so called clean install, something else does not work anymore, though it worked before. I see a lot of POSTFIX, DOVECOT mail issues posted and I have one too at this latest install. Apparently, postfix and or dovecot does not know how to read user accounts or passwords anymore, since I can't setup any IMAP accounts anymore. Complains about user password for mail account! The server are running e.g. Postfix and dovecot. For us average user that know up to a point how to use a command line, when things go wrong, it is far beyond our understanding. It will take days, if not weeks to find something that might describe the issue we ran into. Mostly, we cause more damage than we do good, once we found something we thought would be the same problem. I apologize foir the long winding post and hope I didn't bore anybody to death with it. Regards, Norbert

The Claw lacks a sense type for his Tracking
The Cursed Mystic, as noted in the other thread has Affects Insubstantial and Limited to Magical Creatures listed twice after his device, but no actual powers listed. Based on the two attacks listed, I've built it thus far as the following, which comes out almost perfectly for Device 5:
Corrosion 10 [Affects Insubstantial 2 (double cost due to inherent linked power)] [24 pp]
..AP: Blast 10 [Affects Insubstantial 2] [1 pp]
Note that there's no Limit in there... maybe they had some other stuff in there.
His power total is 52, not 51
If he spent the ranks listed, he comes out with the right point total, but his Intimidate bonus should be +13, Investigate and Knowledge (Arcane) +7, and Search +7. Looks like Intimidate just got messed up and the other three used his Wisdom bonus instead of Intelligence.
He comes out at 151 points due to the error in his powers. His initiative bonus is +2, not +3.
The Cyborg's powers cost 96, not 86 and he lacks a sense for his Danger Sense.
The Demon of Vengeance lacks a sense for his tracking and a means by which he can be prevented for his Normal Identity. Also, as noted in the other thread:
The Ninja has a bow that costs 9 ep despite a superior bow being available in the core books for 8 ep (although I think the 8 ep gives more bang for the buck than it ought to). Also, her Survival bonus should be +5 and her Swim +3. Her perform lacks a type. And the feat to stack strike on weapons is a bit sketchy... Lastly, while they charged the right number of points for it, Danger Sense is only Super-Senses 1.XLS wrote:A little late to this, but I'm going through some of the Iron Age archetypes for a game I'm putting together, and the Demon of Vengeance has listed a Grapple +20, but as near as I can tell, it should be +15.
Oy... the Vampiric Avenger has 48 points of abilities, not 28, and 12 points of feats, not 11. So he's just 21 pp over. He's also over caps because his toughness save between Constitution and Protection is +13, not +8. And that's before we get into his Favored Environment feat which means he's also got bonuses to defense and attack to drive him over caps along with the Sneak Attack damage.

Is Sanjay Gupta's new pro-medical marijuana stance irresponsible?
Although I'm a fan of Dr. Sanjay Gupta and envy him for being able to report health stories on CNN using his expertise as a neurosurgeon, I'm a little skeptical about his full-frontal apology concerning his previous objections to using marijuana for medical purposes.
Yes, he has a documentary called Weed airing on Sunday. And yes, all the attention he's getting over this apology is likely to be a huge ratings booster.
But CNN is hurting, and I'm not going to fault them for engineering this clever publicity stunt.
I am, though, disappointed in Gupta for being like a pendulum and swinging too hard from one extreme to the other.
Where he first concluded that marijuana was a harmful, addictive street drug, he's now convinced it's safer and more effective than prescription painkillers that have been through the rigors of large controlled clinical trials to gain approval by the US Food and Drug Administration.
In discussing a type of chronic harsh pain caused by nerve injury, he writes that "the most common medications … including morphine, oxycodone and dilaudid … don't work very well for this kind of pain, and tolerance is a real problem.''
That's certainly true, as well as his concerns about accidental overdoses that can lead to death. I do wonder how he can conclude, though, that "marijuana has long been documented to be effective for this awful pain.'' He links to a single study involving 50 patients that was conducted over five days. How do we know whether there's any long-lasting relief?
Gupta also makes medical pronouncements based on his interviews with patients whose symptoms were alleviated by smoking medical marijuana. While I've used anecdotes in my own reporting, I think it's irresponsible to use these as stand-alone facts where data is lacking to back up the case reports.
Charlotte Figi, Gupta said, had her seizures calmed by medical marijuana where other anti-seizure medications approved by the FDA didn't work. Yet I couldn't find any recent studies testing the use of marijuana for this purpose, and the handful of older ones questioned its safety as an epilepsy treatment.
That doesn't seem to bother Gupta, and in fact, he wrote that he's "come to the realization that it is irresponsible not to provide the best care we can as a medical community, care that could involve marijuana.''
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and will choose to focus on the word "could'' in that sentence. Yes, medical marijuana could be an effective treatment — and yes, it might very well be safer than controlled opiates used to treat chronic pain — but we just don't know at this point because rigorous research hasn't been conducted.
Gupta makes valid points about barriers that are precluding such research — including having to get clearance from the US Drug Enforcement Administration — but I don't think that lets doctors off the hook. They shouldn't be extolling the virtues of an untested treatment and really should consider it a therapy of last resort, when all other options have been exhausted.
Even then, they need to be honest with their patients, telling them that more research is needed to prove tantalizing medical claims — for example, that marijuana improves appetite and reduces nausea in those with terminal diseases such as AIDS. A recent review found it wasn't so beneficial for HIV patients.
A little cautionary note from Gupta on this front could go a long way even if it doesn't give him the same ratings boost.

While they haven't lacked for biased media attention, they aren't swaying Amazon, and aren't swaying public opinion. Amazon's approval rating has gone up since the Hachette negotiations went public, and readers don't give a hoot about a bunch of rich, entitled authors whose pre-order buttons are gone.
Whining in public, wasting money on a $104k NYT ad, and whining in public some more, has accomplished the opposite effect of what they intended. Instead of getting sympathy and results, they've gotten a taste of the future. Namely, what the world will be like when their publishers aren't maximizing their sales potential.
Amazon is just the tip of the iceberg, you see. Yes, Hachette authors are currently losing sales. But Amazon has no contract with Hachette, and has no obligation to sell any Hachette titles at all. When Amazon completely stops selling Hachette books, Hachette's midlist will die. B&N and indie bookstores don't constitute enough sales to justify a 40k paperback run, and printing fewer than that isn't cost-effective.
Right now Amazon boasts it has 500,000 exclusive Kindle titles. As the brick and mortar shelves shrink, those who have been avoiding ebooks (casuual readers, late adopters, laggards) won't have a choice; if they want new titles, they'll need to finally embrace ebooks.
My mother held out during the VHS to DVD transition. She didn't buy a DVD player... until she had to, because they stopped selling VHS.
When this happens with ebooks--when the casual reader switches to a tablet app or cheap dedicated ereading device--it will hurt more than bookstores. All those folks who read 1 to 5 books a year (the ones who make the mega-bestsellers, of which many are Authors United signatories) will no longer get their summer reads at drug stores or airports. They'll simply download something.
All that prime real estate, putting mega-selling authors in front of peoples' eyes with widespread paper distribution, will be gone. Then James Patterson will be stuck with ebooks as his major source of income. If he's lucky, Amazon will still be selling his work, albeit for $12.99 with DRM and no Kindle Unlimited. If he's unlucky, Hachette will never capitulate, and Amazon will stop selling him altogether.
Consider the French Revolution. A bunch of blue bloods really thought they were born to rule, and the peasants couldn't live without them to govern. They were wrong.
Guess what? The reading community can easily live without books from every single Authors United signatory. Sure, some fans will be disappointed. But those fans will find other things to read. Just like I've been waiting for years for another Evil Dead film, but I've managed to find other movies to watch. The lack of Evil Dead 4 didn't mean I quit watching all films. The lack of Douglas Preston's latest in the supermarket check-out rack doesn't mean Preston fans won't find something else to read.
In 2011 I wrote two blog posts about this happening. One, The End of the Bestseller, goes into more detail about how the paper world, and its mega-bestsellers, will collapse. Check it out.
The other, The End is Nigh, has this quote:
"As I'd anticipated, print has become a subsidiary right. A niche market. Publishers will try to milk a few last drops of profit from it, and then they'll go bye-bye.
At least, the old school publishers will.
New school publishers, like Amazon, are primed to exploit this brave new world. They now control the distribution network. Watch as Amazon becomes the biggest publisher in the world."
Hachette is cutting its own throat. By trying to protect its paper cartel, it is pushing readers away from its own catalog, and toward ebooks.
Hachette feels it has no choice. Unless they prevent Amazon from discounting ebooks, paper will die anyway. So why not go the contentious route and ruin the careers of hundreds of authors?
If other publishers follow Hachette's example, they'll fail. But if they allow Amazon to discount ebooks, they'll also fail. Their paper oligopoly will suffer either way.
You fight technology, technology always wins.
But new technology, and the Amazon juggernaut, aren't the only nails in the legacy industry's coffin.
Authors United has tried to wage its battle in the court of public opinion, using the media to spread its nonsense. But it has discovered that readers don't care.
Writers, however, do care. They've been watching closely, and calling bullshit.
So while AU has been ineffective in changing Amazon's mind, or the public's mind, if has been an extremely effective propaganda tool for getting authors to stop submitting manuscripts to publishers.
"I'd always assumed that print publishers would begin to lose market dominance once ebooks took off in a big way, and they'd have to either restructure or die.
But now I'm predicting another death for them.
What is going to happen when authors stop sending their books to publishers?
If I know I can make $100,000 on a self-published ebook in five years of sales, and I have the numbers to back up this claim, why would any informed writer--either pro or newbie--ever settle for less?
The dominance of ebooks is coming. I have no doubt. But I always thought it was the readers who would lead the charge, based on cost and convenience.
Now I'm starting to believe that the ones with the real power are the ones who should have had the power since the beginning of publishing. The ones who create the content in the first place.
The authors."
Authors United is an ironic name for a group that is prompting authors to take sides. It is reinforcing the path indie authors have chosen, and embarrassing many who chose the legacy route. Publicly bitching that Amazon is hurting authors--when it is obvious that Amazon has an open door policy for authors via KDP and it is actually Hachette's inability to negotiate that is hurting authors--will scare more authors away from the Big 5. I was actually just talking with a bestseller who isn't going to even bother submitting a new book to the Big 5 out of a very real concern that they won't be able to sell via Amazon.
It's all a big, oven-baked plateful of fail with a generous slice of stupid for dessert.
Even more embarrassing is Authors United's failure to engage with peers who disagree. We're dishing out heaping helpings of humiliation and getting radio silence in return.
Where's the pride? Where's the desire to fight for what you believe in?
It does make some sense. Anyone who watched Authors Guild president Roxana Robinson get spanked when debating Paul Kedrosky can plainly see why they don't engage their critics; they're full of nonsense and could never win.
But if they're cognizant that their position is indefensible, why try to bother writing letters at all? Are they hoping the general public, and Amazon, are as stupid and accommodating as David Streitfeld?
Perhaps because, when you're really rich and have that oft-accompanying sense of entitlement, you tend to go down swinging.
Even if you're swinging at empty air.
Now anyone who has been reading my blog for years (or followed the links I posted above) knows I'm pretty good at giving advice and predicting the future, because I tend to be right a lot. So I'm going to actually give Authors United some tips on what they could do in order to help themselves, and their fellow authors.
1. Write an open letter to Hachette. You've stated, repeatedly, that you aren't taking sides. Prove it. Let Hachette know how unhappy you are with their negotiating tactics, and do so publicly. Which leads to:
2. Leverage Hachette. Hire lawyers to get out of your Hachette contracts. Proclaim you'll refuse to sign any more deals with them unless they fix this situation. They have failed you, so let them know.
3. Force Hachette to accept one of Amazon's offers to compensate authors during the negotiation period. Amazon has tried several times to take authors out of the line of fire, and you've dismissed this without good reason.
4. Stop whining. It looks bad. You aren't coming off as righteous and noble. You're coming off as privileged little snits. With all the money in play, you could hire a PR team, and media coaches for anyone who appears on TV. And if you've already done that, hire me. I've already told you what not to say, for free, on this blog. But if you're willing to waste $104k on a NYT ad, I'll take another $104k from you (which I'll give to a deserving charity) and walk you through how to win this battle.
5. Fix your soundbytes. When they are so easy to refute (Hint: Amazon isn't boycotting anything), all you do is show how lazy and ineffective your attempts at manipulation are.
6. Pay attention. You might think you're above the petty criticism authors like me level at you, but you're not. Ignoring what the blogosphere and Twitter and Facebook and the Internet in general are saying about you isn't taking the moral high ground; it's the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and going "Nyah nyah nyah we can't hear you!" I've been showing you for months that your arguments are unpersuasive and your points are silly, and I'm one of many who have done this. Listen and learn and maybe you can correct some of your many mistakes. What kind of person doesn't look at the opposing viewpoints and try to grow from them?
And you can even take that a step further and:
7. Engage your critics. My blog is yours. If Roxana Robinson, Douglas Preston, Lee Child, James Patterson, Stephen King, Scott Turow, or any of the Authors United signatories wants to use my blog to make a statement, please do. I'm sure I also speak for David Gaughran, Courtney Milan, Barry Eisler, Hugh Howey, Bob Mayer, and other popular authors who have opined on this issue. We'd love to host you. Believe it or not, we agree on the core issue: We know writers are being hurt, and we don't like it. Let's build from there.
8. If you aren't going to change, quit. Seriously. You're hastening the demise of the industry that made you rich, which means you're hastening your own demise. Hachette, stupid as they're acting, are at least looking at the long game. Authors United is not. You're so concerned about short-term losses, you're helping to ensure a long-term loss.
It isn't too late to help all of the Hachette authors (and all of the future authors who will face this same situation when the other Big 4 negotiate with Amazon). But it will require taking a few steps back and being honest with what your goals really are. If you really aren't taking sides, and really want to help authors, you can be a force for good. With a reboot, your 1000 author petition could be 10,000 authors.
Authors United could actually effect change. So could the Authors Guild. But not if you continue down the path you've chosen.

It seems a new baby boy isn't the only delivery Rachel Zoe will be making in the near future. WWD just released pics of a photo shoot with the very preggers Zoe (in thigh-high boots no less!) for Zoe's new contemporary collection, aptly named the "Rachel Zoe Collection." What should you expect? Zoe's signature '70s style is ever-present and very tailored—think Le Smoking jackets and feminine Marc Jacobs-like influences. And while the offerings aren't Target priced, they're also not Victoria Beckham expensive either: Expect to shell out $200 for a day dress to $700 for a full tuxedo look. Although Zoe's manufacturer says they haven't exactly lined up any retailers to, you know, buy the clothing yet, they have high hopes, seeing the line as a peer to Alexander Wang, Diane von Furstenberg, and Marc by Marc Jacobs. If Zoe's very successful (but more affordable) QVC line is any indication, they shouldn't have any problems selling the Zoe brand, which is sure to only get more exposure with season four of the Rachel Zoe Project already in the works. Looks like baby Zoe will not only be the best dressed babe in the land, but also the heir to quite the fashion empire! Some babies have all the luck.

Spelt Flour Buttermilk Pancakes with Caramelized Apples
After my shopping spree at a local grain mill yesterday, I was in the mood to experiment with some different flours. I had some left over buttermilk in the fridge from my Danish Rye bake so I decided to make my (ever popular in these parts) buttermilk pancakes but with organic spelt flour. I was a bit on the careful side and opted to still keep 1/2 cup AP flour in the recipe. These turned out so well that next time I might even eliminate the AP flour all together. As a note, the apple topping pairs VERY well with these so don't omit if you have a choice.
Spelt Flour Buttermilk Pancakes with Caramelized Apples
1 cup spelt flour
1/2 cup AP flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
1 large egg
1 ½ cups buttermilk (or 1 ½ cup homemade buttermilk, see below)
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
Oil for skillet
Extra milk to thin batter after rest
Combine all ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not over mix, lumps are ok. Let sit in fridge to rest for at least 20 minutes. Before cooking, add up to ¼ milk to thin the batter, if needed. Note: This batter takes approx. 1 extra minute per side than AP flour pancakes. Check the insides by cutting into the middle to ensure batter is fully cooked.
Makes approx. 6-7 pancakes.
Home made buttermilk: Add 2 Tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice to a measuring cup, then add enough milk to make 1 ½ cups total. Transfer to bowl and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, or until thickened.
Caramelized Apples:
2 large apples
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp butter
Pinch salt
Peel and core apples. Half the apples then cut thin slices. Heat butter on high heat in a saute pan and add the apples, sugar and salt. Saute on high heat just to caramelize the sugar, about 3 - 5 minutes. Add a dash of cinnamon to taste. Take off the heat and let cool slightly.
Top the pancakes with the apples and some maple syrup.

State Budget Marks Reinvestment in the CSU
The state's reinvestment in the CSU became official last week as Gov. Brown signed the 2013-14 budget, which includes $125.1 million in new funding and $125 million reinstated from last year's budget cut.
The proposed increase brings state funding levels to $2.3 billion for the CSU's programs and operations.
The budget will allow the CSU to focus on three main areas of expenditure: student access and success, faculty and staff compensation, and mandatory costs. The CSU remains committed to using $10 million for technology/online approaches to addressing course bottlenecks.
"This budget officially begins the state's reinvestment in higher education and the California State University," said Chancellor Timothy P. White. "While this is an important step in the right direction, additional efforts are still needed to help meet the unprecedented demand to attend a California State University campus."
The governor vetoed legislative language that earmarked specified dollar amounts for various programs or created reporting requirements, but did not veto any funds from the CSU budget. He signed the higher education trailer bill (AB 94), which includes a list of outcome measures that will be part of an accountability plan, and the law for the new Middle Class Scholarship program.
"We continue to work with our elected officials and all stakeholders on further restoration of access and increases in student success," said White. "We look forward to continued engagement on appropriate and meaningful ways to measure and to be accountable for this critical work." More information.

Droplets in the Ocean
I was asked:
"Barb, is there anything we could say to homebirth midwives to wake them up to the fact that their education and training is deficient? Is there any way we could convince them of the value of experience?"
This is my answer.
Starting with my background, I had been attending births in the hospital, birth center and home for 21 years before I got my California midwifery license in 2005. I'd doula'd about 400 hospital births before I started assisting, then acting as primary midwife (under supervision) at three different birth centers, two with CNMs and one with LMs, getting another 300 births under my belt before I became licensed. At that point, with about 700 births of experience, I'd attended many, many more births than the average newly licensed (or certified professional) midwife. Since receiving my license, I've either presided over or assisted at another 80 or so births at home. I've doula'd my own transferred/transported clients as well as acted as a private monitrice or monitrice-doula for another 120+ women in hospitals. I'm now at about 900 births attended.
I've also witnessed a maternal death, in the hospital, from an amniotic fluid embolism. I'd been attending births a mere four years, but it affected me for decades, causing me to say things like, "After seeing that mom die, I knew I wasn't emotionally or spiritually ready to hold two lives in my hands, so it took many more years before I was ready to pursue a license." Even as I studied, that death loomed over my concerns about being a homebirth midwife, but I felt I had a lot of previous experience, so was comfortable with my forward movement. I had a pretty decent idea of what was normal and what stepping out of normal looked like. But, as I learned, there is a huge difference between seeing and presiding. A life's breath of difference.
Those who have read through my blog for a number of years, see how I've spoken to deficiencies in homebirth midwifery along the way. I've written about the incestuousness of apprenticeship, about how some midwives don't carry the appropriate tools or meds, even writing about my own lack of skills or knowledge in many areas, including suturing and starting IVs. It is in this writing that helped me be ostracized from my own midwifery community, culminating in the formal removal from Peer Review a year ago and told not to attend community functions. I wrote "Why I Left Homebirth Midwifery" in answer to the midwives' despicable behavior towards one of their own.
I've tried to speak to midwives' lack of education and skills training many times, but it seems to fall on deaf ears far too often. But, I am finding some hope among those choosing to head into midwifery nowadays. Amber Plyer of Midwife{ology} initially began her walk, seeing a CPM certificate as her goal, but after some introspection, which, she admits, had aspects of my commentary of CPMs involved, she has chosen to become a CNM instead. I couldn't be prouder if she was my own child! Amber is but one of at least a dozen women who've come to me, thanking me for speaking about the different types of midwives there are and that they've shifted from CPM-goals to CNM-goals, several already in nursing school.
I'd love to be able to refer to a homebirth education program that serves mothers and babies adequately. I have named four I thought gave at least decent training (listed here), but the reality is none of the schools is standardized and the graduates' knowledge and skill are dependent on which mentor-midwife the student-apprentice works with throughout the education process.
So, to answer Dr. Amy's questions:
"Barb, is there anything we could say to homebirth midwives to wake them up to the fact that their education and training is deficient? Is there any way we could convince them of the value of experience?"
Amy, I've tried. And while I seem to be making some inroads, they are, in my opinion, minimal. I've had my experience discounted because so much has been in the hospital, but no matter how much I state that it isn't medical intervention that causes the sudden emergencies, too many roll their eyes and think I'm full of shit anyway.
I guess I haven't been graphic enough about the emergencies that have happened in the home, even with completely "hands-off" labors and births, how very lucky I feel I was that no mother or baby died during the harrowing complications that happen at home as well as in the hospital. I really do believe less technology than the hospital typically uses, mixed with more hands-on care than many homebirth midwives are wont to use, can make each of the scenarios more palatable (in hospitals) and safer (at home). I can't help believing both are possible.
But, if I, a very experienced in birth (comparatively) non-nurse midwife is shoved aside because I'm not saying all the pretty, flowery and idealistic unrealities in birth, how are the masses of non-nurse midwives going to comprehend the risks they are taking until they end up like Lisa Barrett, losing baby after baby when their luck runs out? I wish I had a magic wand, but for now, that wand is my "pen" and all I can do is keep writing.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Ann Rogers M.D., director of the Surgical Weight Loss Program at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, will discuss "A Weighty Issue: Understanding Surgical Solutions to Obesity" at the fifth Research Unplugged event of the semester this Thursday, Nov. 7, at 12:30 p.m. in Schlow Centre Region Library, downtown State College.
Obesity can contribute to serious health problems and is considered a national epidemic. Permanent weight loss is difficult to achieve. When is weight loss surgery an appropriate option? What types of surgery are there? Rogers will discuss these issues and more.
Her research interests include quality improvement in surgical techniques, clinical outcomes in weight loss surgery, and brain and gut hormone changes after weight loss surgery. She attended Cornell University, and Cornell University Medical College, and completed her residency at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City, where she was later named Director of the General Surgery Residency Program.
Research Unplugged is in its 10th year of bringing together a broad range of Penn State researchers and the State College community for informal conversation.
All events will be held from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. each Thursday through Nov. 14, and are free and open to the public, with complimentary light refreshments. Limited free parking is available at Schlow Library beginning at 11:45 a.m. The series is made possible with the support of Penn State and Schlow Library.

To start off, I want to recap how I did with my goals for August. For sure, I am still trying to do to much, but this really doesn't bother me as I just keep creating. That's really what matters.
Goals Met:
1. Alluvia - finished within a week. I will be posting about my Camp Loopy projects this month as a recap.
2. Altocumulus - I did finished the knitting but still have to block it.
3. Dessert of the Month - I easily got through June and am starting on August.
4. Garden Tote - it's actually embarrassing how little time it took to finish the embroidery on this. I was pretty mad at myself the day I finished it because I was letting a little thing stall this project. In addition to finishing the stitching, I also have cut out all the tote bag pieces.
5. East Gable Shawl - finished but not blocked yet.
Goals Not Met:
1. Irene Adler - I didn't start and am probably going to put this one off for awhile. I have another large lace weight shawl on my needles and can't work on two at the same time.
2. Ennoble - I didn't start it.
3. Allis - another I didn't start.
4. Moulin Rouge - ditto.
5. Ranrike - no progress.
6. Driftwood - no progress.
7. Sugar Block Club - no progress.
8. Forest QAL - I didn't make anything for the link up as I couldn't decide on a small project. I really just have my heart set on my original quilt and will be working on that.
9. Road to Round Rock quilt - no progress.
10. Handstitched Mini - no progress.
11. Art quilt - no progress.
12. Dog dish mat - I decided that this project is just not going to happen. It's one of those things that sounds good in theory, but I don't love the idea of it in my reality.
13. Honeycomb mini - no progress.
Now onto my goals for September.
1. Dreambird - get through four of the six skeins of the gradient.
2. Southern Skies - this is a three skein shawl that I want to finish by the end of October. This month, I would like to finish one skein.
3. Camptown Races - I want to start and finish this cowl.
4. Allis - I want to start and finish.
5. Ranrike - finish edging.
6. Driftwood - finish one of two skeins.
7. Ennoble - start and finish.
8. Sugar Block Club - catch up.
9. Road to Round Rock - finish top.
10. Handstitched mini - finish two blocks.
11. Garden Tote - finish.
12. Forest Quilt - finish four blocks.
13. Art Quilt - start.
14. Woodland Sampler - finish frames.
15. Christmas Ornaments - finish one.
16. Dessert of the Month - finish.
What do you have planned for September?

The Italian firm, which develops wind projects as well as solar and hydro, said it is looking to "geographical diversification" in order reduce its exposure to "volatility" and to "mitigate overall risk".
Between 2014 and 2018, Enel is planning a total capital expenditure of EUR 5.4 billion. North America will see 10% of this cash, while Europe will get 17%. The rest will be spent in emerging markets.
Over the next four years, the company is planning to install more than 4.6GW of additional capacity, bringing total installed capacity to 13.4GW.
It expects this to return earnings of about EUR 1.9 billion in 2014, about EUR 2.3 billion in 2016 and approximately EUR 2.6 billion in 2018. This compares to EUR 1.7 billion in 2013.
The company's previous plans, covering 2012-16, targetted a 38% spend in emerging markets. Capital expenditure on wind energy was to make up 57% of the total.

$1 Million Lottery Winner Also Wins Welfare Fraud Charges for Remaining on Food Stamps
Money may not buy happiness, but it just might buy you a whole heap of trouble.
One Michigan lotto winner discovered that firsthand after she was arraigned on two felony counts of welfare fraud.
Amanda Clayton, 25, of Lincoln Park, won the state's million dollar jackpot on a local game called 'Make Me Rich!' where she took home a lump sum of $735,000 after taxes. At the time, however, she was also receiving assistance from the state's welfare office and failed to notify the office of her winnings.
In fact, she was still receiving food stamps from the state's Department of Human Services, even though she had a huge wad of cash sitting in her bank account. She even told a TV station in Detroit that she thought she was still eligible to receive them since she was unemployed at the time of her winnings.
It turns out that Michigan has forbidden anyone with more than $5,000 in regular income and assets, excluding a car, from receiving state assistance.
In fact, Clayton's case isn't the first of its kind. Back in 2010, Leroy Fick, 60, of Bay County won $850,000 in the lottery but was still receiving food stamps after he cashed in his very large check. However, he was allowed to stay on the food assistance program since lump-sum winnings did not count as income under state laws.
The laws have since been changed, something that Clayton learned the hard way. Her attorney, Stanley Wise, said he has plans to have her charges dismissed at her next court hearing.

K&N plans to provide the RV/motor home market with our guaranteed horsepower air intakes. RV's can definitely utilize the extra power to get up to speed, especially on inclines, as much as any vehicle on the road. The factory air filter and intake track in these motor homes restrict air flow. The K&N automotive air intake system is designed to provide excellent filtration while being less restrictive, resulting in more power. It takes less than 90 minutes to install most K&N air intakes with common tools. All K&N air intakes come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®.
K&N Engineering has developed a 77 Series High-Flow Performance Air Intake System (77-2570KTK) in textured black for the Ford models listed below. K&N dynamometer tests show a horsepower gain of 17.48 @ 4101 on the stock 2006 Ford E-350 6.8 liter V-10 engine.
View Vehicles this Air Intake Fits
General Motors has a line of heavy duty truck chasis which include the GMC Topkick and the Chevrolet Kodiak. The Kodiak and TopKick can be used as the base for RV / Motorhome applications and deliver powerful torque and high towing capacity.
K&N has developed a performance air intake system (77-3064KTK) for the 2006 GMC Topkick CK4500/CK5500 and 2006 Chevrolet Kodiak CK4500/CK5500. K&N's dynamometer test showed a horsepower gain of 10.01 @ 2944 RPM for this air intake system.
K&N replaces the factory intake housing with a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube. This intake system draws air from a K&N high-flow air filter (RC-5165) that will never need replaced.
It takes less than 90 minutes to install this air intake with simple hand tools.
K&N has designed a high flow air intake system (77-3063KTK) in textured black for the 2004 and 2005 GM TopKick and Chevy Kodiak 4500 / 5500 Duramax Diesels.
K&N Dyno tested the 77-3063KTK and found a 14.92 horsepower gain @ 2612 RPM. K&N Engineers replaces the original air intake assembly with a free-flowing intake tube and K&N high-flow air filter.
A powder coated steel heat shield mounts in place of the stock air box to protects the chrome top K&N air filter. The heat shield isolates the air filter from engine heat delivering cooler air to the engine.
It takes only 90 minutes to install K&N's 77-3063KTK air intake and it is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®.

Kim Kardashian — Today's Crush
Kim Kardashian is an American socialite, television personality, model, actress and businesswoman, who is most notable for her reality show appearances and numerous endorsement deals. Her rise to fame began when a sex tape made with her then-boyfriend Ray J was leaked in 2007.
Kim Kardashian Bio
Kim Kardashian (Kimberly Noel Kardashian) was born on October 21, 1980 in Los Angeles, California. Her father was Robert Kardashian, an attorney who gained national recognition as O. J. Simpson's friend and defense attorney during Simpson's murder trial. Kardashian has two sisters, Kourtney and Khloé, and one brother, Robert. From her mother's marriage to Bruce Jenner, Kardashian has stepbrothers Burton Jenner, Brandon Jenner, and reality TV star Brody Jenner, step-sister Casey Jenner and half-sisters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.
In 2007, porn company Vivid Entertainment bought the rights to a leaked sex tape Kardashian had made with singer Ray J, whom she was dating at the time. Kardashian sued Vivid for ownership of the tape, but in April 2007, she dropped the suit and settled with the company for $5 million. With her new found fame, Kardashian began appearing in the social scene, and by the end of 2007, bagged her first reality TV show. 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' on the E! network stars Kardashian, along with her two sisters, mother, brother, half-sisters and stepfather.
Kardashian has appeared in the films 'Disaster Movie' and 'Deep in the Valley,' besides cameos in television shows 'How I Met Your Mother,' '90210′ and 'CSI: NY.' She was one of the 13 participants on the seventh season of 'Dancing with the Stars' and was the third contestant voted off the show. Kardashian has appeared on numerous magazine covers and posed nude for the December 2007 issue of Playboy. Given her popularity on Twitter, Kardashian's tweets can fetch up to $10,000 from sponsors.
In October 2010, Kardashian began dating NBA player Kris Humphries of the New Jersey Nets. The couple married on August 20, 2011, which was recorded for a much hyped two-part TV special showing the preparations and the wedding itself that aired on E! in early October 2011. After 72 days of marriage, Kardashian filed for divorce from Humphries on October 31, 2011, citing irreconcilable differences. Since the divorce, it has been widely reported that the wedding was staged and was a ploy to generate money. Kardashian remains one of the highest-earning reality stars.
