We had a situation that was creating major issues for the town we built a $230,000.00 dollar garage and the condensation in the winter was causing a saftey hazard from falling water built up in the insulation. The Engineer said it was a $30,000.00 fix and then one of our local farmers said put in a Hi-E Dry we all joked a bit but we tried it and for less than $5,000.00 the problem is gone.

9.16: Arachnids
Is a spider a type of insect?
Although spiders and insects are both arthropods, a spider is not an insect. One key difference is that insects have six legs, while spiders have eight legs.
Arachnids are a class of joint-legged invertebrates in the subphylum Chelicerata. They live mainly on land but are also found in freshwater and in all marine environments, except for the open ocean. There are over 100,000 named species, including many species of spiders, scorpions, daddy-long-legs, ticks, and mites (Figure below). There may be up to 600,000 species in total, including unknown ones.
(left) A daddy-long-legs spider. (right) Various diseases are caused by bacteria that are spread to humans by arachnids, like the tick shown here.
Characteristics of Arachnids
Arachnids have the following characteristics:
- Four pairs of legs (eight total). You can tell the difference between an arachnid and an insect because insects have three pairs of legs (six total).
- Arachnids also have two additional pairs of appendages. The first pair, the chelicerae, serve in feeding and defense. The next pair, the pedipalps, help the organisms feed, move, and reproduce.
- Arachnids do not have antennae or wings.
- The arachnid body is organized into the cephalothorax, a fusion of the head and thorax, and the abdomen.
- To adapt to living on land, arachnids have internal breathing systems, like a trachea or a book lung.
- Arachnids are mostly carnivorous, feeding on the pre-digested bodies of insects and other small animals.
- Several groups are venomous. They release the venom from specialized glands to kill prey or enemies.
- Several mites are parasitic, and some of those are carriers of disease.
- Arachnids usually lay eggs, which hatch into immature arachnids that are similar to adults. Scorpions, however, give birth to live young.
Arachnid Subgroups
The arachnids are divided into eleven subgroups. Below are the four most familiar subgroups, with a description of each (Table below).
|Subgroup of Arachnid
|Representative Organisms
|Approximate Number of Species
Found all over the world, ranging from tropics to the Arctic, some in extreme environments.
All produce silk, which is used for trapping insects in webs, aiding in climbing, producing egg sacs, and wrapping prey.
Nearly all spiders inject venom to protect themselves or to kill prey. Only about 200 species have bites that can be harmful to humans.
Known for extremely long walking legs. No silk nor poison glands.
Many are omnivores, eating small insects, plant material, and fungi. Some are scavengers, eating decaying animal and other matter.
Mostly nocturnal (come out at night) and colored in hues of brown. A number of diurnal (come out during the day) species have vivid patterns of yellow, green, and black.
Characterized by a tail with six segments, the last bearing a pair of venom glands and a venom-injecting barb.
Predators of small arthropods and insects. They use pincers to catch prey. Then they either crush it or inject it with a fast-acting venom, which is used to kill or paralyze the prey. Only a few species are harmful to humans.
Nocturnal; during the day, they find shelter in holes or under rocks.
Unlike the majority of arachnids, scorpions produce live young. The young are carried about on the mother's back until they have molted at least once. They reach an age of between four to 25 years.
|Mites and ticks
Most are small (no more than 1.0 mm in length), but some ticks, and one species of mite, may grow to be 10-20 mm in length.
Live in nearly every habitat, including aquatic and terrestrial.
Many are parasitic, affecting both invertebrates and vertebrates. They may transmit diseases to humans and other mammals. Those that feed on plants may damage crops.
- arachnid: Class of arthropods having four pairs of legs which includes the spiders, scorpions, and ticks.
- cephalothorax: Fusion of the head and thorax.
- chelicerae: Fanglike appendages near the mouth that serve in feeding and defense.
- diurnal: Active in the daytime.
- nocturnal: Active at night.
- pedipalps: Appendages near the mouth that are modified for reproduction, catching prey, and other functions.
- silk: Threads spun by spiders to make webs, enclose their eggs, and to serve other functions.
- Arachnids have four pairs of legs, specialized appendages, and a fused head and thorax.
- Arachnids include spiders, daddy-long-legs, scorpions, and ticks.

This week's winner of The Biggest Damn Lie is Sarah Palin.
Palin stated on Fox News' Sean Hannity Show that Pres. Barack Obama was not extensively vetted by the news media in 2008.
Sarah Palin, lying and defaming an African-American on the KKK Network aka "Fox News." Is this not the same Sarah Palin who used coded and lying racist speeches that incited violence against our president? Fox sypathizers tend to be people who push the conservative agenda by baiting the racially biased and hateful "base" of their party.

|With a built-in audience of fans of Suzanne Collins's trilogy of young adult novels, the hype around this movie has been insane for more than a year. And it nearly got out of hand when each bit of casting news caused the Internet to have tremors: in the end, Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth were signed to play the three teenage leads. But beyond fan madness, what could be more politically relevant than the class warfare under the books' surface? The plot revolves around Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence)—a poor 16-year-old girl from a destitute coal-mining community—who is conscripted to compete in the Hunger Games, a real-time reality show in which kids fight each other to the death. If the movie adaptation is faithful to the book, which the trailer indicates it will be, Katniss provides an antidote to the passive, marriage-oriented Bella from "Twilight"—a feminist heroine for millennials. With Donald Sutherland as the evil President Snow; Woody Harrelson as the charming, drunk mentor, Haymitch; and Elizabeth Banks as the not-as-clueless-as-she-seems Effie Trinket, the books' devoted followers have much to look forward to. So does everyone else, we hope.

|The third and final installment in filmmaker Christopher Nolan's "Batman" trilogy takes place eight years after the events of "The Dark Knight," and sees Gotham experiencing a rare moment of peace. Batman (Christian Bale), a fugitive from justice after assuming responsibility for Harvey Dent's crime spree, is drawn back to the city following an ominous warning from the mysterious Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) that hints at evidence of Occupy Wall Street undertones, painting the Dark Knight as the "1 percent": "You and your friends better batten down the hatches because when it hits, you're all going to wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us." Batman is then drawn back to Gotham to do battle with the muscle-bound menace, Bane (Tom Hardy).

|Like his last film, "Inglourious Basterds," writer-director Quentin Tarantino's latest is a brutal slice of revisionist history. The movie is set in the antebellum Deep South. Django (Jamie Foxx), a slave-turned-bounty hunter, teams up with his mentor, Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), to rescue his wife from the ruthless Mississippi plantation owner Calvin Candie, played by Leonardo DiCaprio (in his first villain role). DiCaprio was supposed to star as Nazi Col. Hans Landa, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. Waltz eventually replaced DiCaprio in the role, and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Will this heinous villain bring DiCaprio a long overdue Oscar victory?

|Adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald's seminal novel, "The Great Gatsby" sees Midwesterner Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) seduced into the decadent world of Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), his enigmatic neighbor who pines for Carraway's fetching—and married—cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan). The film marks the reunion of DiCaprio and director Baz Luhrmann, who worked together on 1996's "Romeo + Juliet," as well as real-life pals DiCaprio and Maguire, who last shared the screen as young kids in 1993's "This Boy's Life" (that is, if you don't count the 2001 disaster "Don's Plum," which never saw the light of day). The film will be shot in 3D, and, judging by Luhrmann's "Moulin Rouge!," will feature some eye-catching costumes.

|Armando Iannucci, the British satirist behind British cult political comedy "The Thick of It" (and its spin-off feature, "In the Loop"), turns his attention to America with HBO's "Veep," a half-hour comedy that follows a former U.S. senator who has been elected vice president. "Seinfeld's" Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars in this biting and witty satire as Selina Meyer, the woman who is one heartbeat away from becoming the president, but who is more concerned about personal vendettas, biodegradable utensils, and people's opinions of her than the current administration. Louis-Dreyfus—joined by a cast that includes Anna Chlumsky, Tony Hale, Reid Scott, Matt Walsh, Sufe Bradshaw, and Timothy Simons—is at her trenchant best here, discovering early in her term as VP that the halls of power are filled with sharks. Not to be missed. (Launches in 2nd quarter 2012)

|Airing the night after the Super Bowl, NBC's answer to "Glee"—or perhaps a more sophisticated, adult version of "Glee"—is this musical-drama, which revolves around a group of Broadway producers, actors, writers, and directors putting on a show about the life and death of Marilyn Monroe. Capturing the behind-the-scenes tension and stress—and well as the exuberance and emotional highs—that mounting such a huge production would lead to, "Smash" features an all-star cast that includes Debra Messing, Katharine McPhee, Anjelica Huston, Megan Hilty, and Jack Davenport, and original music from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. The result is intoxicating and contagious, and the songs impossible to get out of your head. (Launches Feb. 6 at 10 p.m.)

|Kiefer Sutherland back on TV: do we really need to say more? We don't have to, but we will. Fox's new "Touch" has so much promise—Kiefer Sutherland and the young actor, David Mazouz, who plays his son—are terrific as a father and son struggling to communicate in more ways than one. The show is emotional, spiritual, and has a strong overall message about connecting. If you're worried you can't see Kiefer Sutherland as anything other than Jack Bauer, the pilot episode quickly works hard to dispel that image. Danny Glover and Gugu Mbatha-Raw are also in the cast.

|In the decade-plus since this multi-platinum-selling ska-pop quartet released its last album, "Rock Steady," lead singer Gwen Stefani stepped away from the band to have children with Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and forge a chart-topping, arena-rocking career as a solo artist. Although No Doubt's new disc was scheduled for release last year (with recording begun in 2008), the group punted its rollout into 2012. "We don't want to rush this album just to get it out," the band said in a statement. But does out of earshot mean out of mind? As evidenced by No Doubt's rumored announcement as a co-headliner for 2012's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival—and, moreover, the excitement that news caused—the fans apparently haven't forgotten them or moved on.

|Question: can a snotty, bratty alterna-rock band hold on to its indie snarl after becoming one of the biggest pop acts in the world? After recording eight studio albums and mounting a successful Broadway adaptation of its music? Seven years on from the release of its barrier-breaking rock opera (turned musical) "American Idiot" and two years since Green Day's last CD "21st Century Breakdown," the Berkeley, Calif. trio return with what is arguably 2012's most eagerly awaited rock offering. According to early intel (i.e. reviews of an intimate Halloween gig in New York City), the new material incorporates the harmonies, hooks and power chords of the group's two previous discs. But lyrically, the new material is said to be more straightforward and less emo. Sample lyric: "Shut your mouth 'cause you're talking too much and I don't give a f--- anyway." (Release date TBD.)

|The much-anticipated follow-up to pop-rap chanteuse Nicki Minaj's platinum-selling debut album "Pink Friday," which included the breakout single "Super Bass"—albeit on the deluxe version only—will be released on Valentine's Day. "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" will mark the return of the eclectically styled, Indian-Trinidadian singer's bizarre alter ego, Roman Zolanski (think: Sasha Fierce with a screw loose, and a penis), which featured on her debut. So far, Minaj has released two singles from the upcoming album—"Roman in Moscow," which received mixed reviews, and "Stupid Hoe." Expect several high-profile cameos on the record, including her recent tour-mate Britney Spears, her boss, Lil Wayne, and former flame, Drake.

Pros: Modular design, good sound isolation, prominent mids
Cons: Dissapointing highs, bass could be better
Bought this last month, have been listening to it for the past 1month. This is a entry level IEM by Shure. For the price I paid I expected better sound but unfortunately I have heard better sounding IEMs going for a lower price.
The cable is modular which is great. It makes easy change of cable should the original gets damage. Noise isolation is wonderful. I tried this ear-bud during a fair with lots of people, it was great at isolating the environmental noise.
This earphone is really great with Jazz and vocals. Hip-hop and any other bass laden music lovers should stay away. The mids are emphasize well here. Highs are there but it seems like its way way behind. Bass notes are heard but it isn't going low enough.

Salmon River Madness
Spent the weekend up on the Salmon River. Stuck to swinging flies on sink tips and did 1 nice steelie that got off. A good day by my standards. Casting and fishing was very difficult due to a blanket of leaves in the water.
I decided to lok around a bit and went futher up river. I haven't ever used these forums as a place to complain before but I have to say something about what goes on up there.
In the middle river "fisherman" (and I use that term very loosely) were standing 5-10' away from king salmon and flinging tons of lead and snagging fish everywhere. The "fly fisherman" I saw were doing similair but are better at hiding it. I was able to get above some guys and you could watch there fly drift downstream on the oppisite side of the fish then magically it would come upstream and across and end up in the mouth. The wonders of dental flossing.
I then decided to wander up to the "fly fishing only section". I didn't realize that a running line, 15' leader, cannon balls 2 feet from the hook and a casting stroke that involves flinging the lead as hard as you can and sucking the running line through the guides constituted fly fishing. Mind you there were a few guys in that water who were nymphing with just enough weight to get down (you could tell because it didn't look like a depth charge dropping from a plane hunting submarines when it hit the water). There were even two guys who had split a chunk of water and were swinging flies. But of course I watched the yahoo brigade wade right through the water he was swinging in while peering through the water with polarized glasses looking for a fish in need of dental care.
I don't expect everyone to conform to my values. I know that swinging is not the most effective way to catch steelhead and salmon on that river. Many guys only get to come up there once a year and catching fish is a priority, but there has to be some degree of sportsmanship. Learn to mend and fish a nymph or egg with a minimum of weight. If you don't want to fly fish learn how to run a float. I don't know what the answer is but I had to vent.
I'll get off my soapbox now and tie some flies.
I hear ya man!
Been trying to "CATCH" a salmon here on the American and with all the snaggers (flossing IS snagging!!) it is quite difficult. Some of these guys have so much weight on that when they cast out the line hits bottom and stays still in the current. They actually have to coax the weight of their rig downstream over the rocks! I've seen so called fly fishermen throwing fast sinking shooting heads with 15 foot leaders and about half a dozen split shot at the end with a bead, purely for aesthetics I'm sure. They stylishly work each drift with that classic high speed sidearm rip about 15 times per drift, like they're setting up on a marlin with 200 feet of line out. About every 897th time they do this a salmon magically appears, clearing the water with a bead stuck in the side of it's head.
The kicker was last week when I tried to get into a lineup of guys, politely taking the last upstream spot so I could work my spey rod with no one above me, plenty of room to cast. A local fool walks up on the beach behind me and begins rigging up, then wades out and stands 5 feet upstream from me, my right side. I asked this fine sportsman if he hadn't noticed me casting a 14 foot spey rod and realized that I may need a bit of room? I explained that this was why I was up here at the end, so I wouldn't bother anyone and would have enough room.
His response was "How much room you think you need? I'm fishin right here, f**k off".
After he unwrapped my 15 feet of T-14 from around his head and plucked the barbell eyed starlight leach from his coat he glared and scowled a bit, but being a good 100 pounds lighter and head shorter than I, and finding me not to be in the most jovial of moods, he slunk off and disappeared.
I don't know why some folks mistake politeness and calmness for patience!
Life is but a walking shadow. A poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot. Full of sound and fury!! Signifying nothing. May as well go fishing!
Here's an example of the classic Salmon River casting stroke:
Like Moose, I found the broad swing of a spey cast useful in acquiring room. Since I'm vertically challenged, I used the "mad Canuck" gambit to encourage cooperation. "I'm not real good at this spey business so you best stand clear or I might hook you by accident." says a wild-eyed me.
The Salmon River is an experience we should all enjoy . . . once. It puts all other fishing related problems into perspective.
Moose and Peter
May I humbly suggest Betout of the lineup and proceed upstream from the idiot.tye on some 1 or 2 lb test leader and put on a tiny SHARP egg hook and cast this "fly" infront of Mr. Yahoo when you feel the hook connect to his waders tug and break off the hook.The idiot won't feel this happening but will soon notice an "itch : as the # of hooks touch his legs and the resulting holes fill his waders with COLD water !
I like the egg with light tippet ploy, I might have to try that. I shouldn't speak entirely negative about the Salmon River. In about another 3 weeks when the salmon have died there are some longer runs where you can fish in a classic manner for steelies. The crowds drop dramatically. There are still areas you don't want to venture into (ironically the fly-fishing only water is the last place you want to go).
Middle and lower river offer water that can be swung all winter long if you will brave the elements in that area in the winter.
salmon runs bring out the absolute worst.
seen way too many yahoos, snagging/flossing. the pm in michigan is IMO the worst. these yahoos spend 800 on a new outfit, spool the reel with mono and c&d the fish to death. its disgusting.
I have seen fisherman (in Indiana) use old spark plugs to weigh down their offering. they call it bump snagging, feel the fish bump the line set the hook.
they tie the plug to the bottom of the line then tie on a hook about 10" up with a puff of yarn on it. couple that with 50# fireline and you are ready to fill up the freezer.
Salmon season can be ugly....
Years ago I was fishing the PM and it was very ugly ... guys 10 yards a part sagging fish ... crowding to in to your hole ... groups of guys fishing in shifts in the same hole so no one else could get in for the whole weekend ... yahoos everywhere.
Then they made the "flys only" section "catch and release" ... bless them 1000 times ... 99% of the yahoos went away ... down stream I think ... into the lake I hope. Sportsman ... curtious sportsman ... now fish there. It still gets crowded, but it is a different crowd ... with a different attitude about fishing.
Love 'em and Leave 'em ... it makes a difference in the fishing, the river and the fisherman.
steelhead time
gillie, i completely understand your frustration. you half to pick your water really carefully. unfortunately, the fly zones are never a viable option whether its salmon or steelhead season. the salmon are all but completely done, just a few beat up fish that are holed up. but, the fishing has been superb, hint,hint. and no, im not fishing to beat up salmon. tell you what, i can show you a completely different experience on the salmon river than what you dealt with recently. if interested, email me. best, mark
Hi friends,
I first fished the Salmon River NY. 24 years ago...I last fished it 19 years ago. It made me sick to see the wholesale slaughter that went on by supposed sportsmen just so they could have meat for the smoker and 5 gallon pails of eggs to sell. I stopped making pilgrimages to the Michigan Penninsula around that time for those same reasons.
Worst thing to happen to me on the Salmon was up at the tailout of the Railway bridge hole. Guys were swinging weighted hooks all over the place and as I stood at the bottom of the hole, I could see silver flashes and grey shapes darting in and around exhaused hen salmon being pulled in backwards. These steelhead were busy picking off the eggs aborted by the poor salmon during the fight.
I got like 3 trout in a row on double egg-sperm fly before 5 guys moved in on my drift and literally cut me off (about 3 ft of my flyline head%@#%^#)...guy said the knot was too bad to untangle!!??. I made the 5 hr. drive home 2 days early and vowed to never go back...and I haven't.
Okay, deep breath Henry....ahhh!...that's better.
Sorry to be such a downer.
Tight loops and great fishing,
Henry et al
Please don't give up on the S.R.
The trick isto absolutely stay away from the "fly" fishing sector (unless the parking lotsare empty) and any pools. This time of year it's Steelhead time and the fishing CAN be quite good and the crowds thinner and a lot more genteel !
BTW Gillie that was use an egg hook bare without the egg (lot quicker penetration)
Cheers all
A normal day on the Salmon River
Been there, done that, multiple times... its just the way the river works. I used to live out east and that river fills up with SO MANY people that unless you hit the incredible luck to be next to 6 guys (or girls) in a row who can cast a double spey with their one handed rods (yeah right... once ever but more are learning!), its just impossible for anyone to get line out without ducking and chucking... submarines LOOK OUT BELOW. Not sure what the solution is, I stopped fishing that river... worked for me. The other thing to do is wait until the Salmon are all gone, then the river emptys out big time, still a lot of guys steelheading but you get a different crowd most are of a more serious fisher person variety and I think you will find your day less stresfull if a bit cooler. One thing, fishing that river in January with a Big ASS lake effect snow storm dumping 2-3 inches of snow/hour around you is worth doing at least once. I would go back for the Steelehead, but never again during Salmon season.
Hey Guys
Fished the Salmon last Friday 29th......and I fished the Fly Zones. Upper area had a FEW guys.....shared the upper pool w/ 2 nice fellows and we all caught fish!Lot's of other productive water not being fished at all! I'd say one out of 5 was a decent salmon. Sure you had to cull out the Lepar fish...but if you dead drifted a nymph...you wouldn't snag up too much on the spawners and half dead. Also had to keep moving to fish to new fish....and not the same spawners over and over.
Also had a steelie on and landed a 24" brown. Landed 6 salmon...many more on.
Later I went to the Cemetary pool (lower FF area) 4 or five other guys in sight (only 3 fishing the pool).....really not crowded at all....there was a push of fresh fish later in the day....I could see them in the tail of the pool....couldn't hook up.
All in all...a pretty good day !
Mark NY....I'd like to try to fish w/ you sometime for steelies (Nov.?)
BTW: the season seems to be running late this year....salmon were late and the steelies seem to be late also...low water is the problem (I think)

Just an fyi for anyone reading this post. If you are looking to catch fish, Steelies that is, then I would highly recommend hooking up with markny (Mark) for a couple of days. He knows those waters like the back of his hand and I really wish he would pursue getting into guiding. That's how good he is and I will leave it at that!
p.s. All proceeds go to me.
Great sport!
Ah Gillie! I like your idea of planting little hooks in snaggers with light tippets. How do you play this game? Is it a Slam if you can get one hook in each leg? Do you get more points if you hookup below the surface Here in Michigan some anglers use tiny trebles with bait for whitefish (unrelated to fly fishing). If you use a size 14 treble, you might be able to get some secondary damage when the treble bites into something else
Honestly, the only time I'd go there is having someone too close who refuses to make space. I don't think I'd change flies, except maybe to add dumbell eyes as already noted above. There's something fitting about dumbell eyes when casting amidst dumbells.
Have to agree with the folks that have given up on the salmon "fishing". I, too, have given it up like a bad habit ....don't miss it a bit
Being held captive in Michigan by my wife...send help!!!

I did a unprotected sex with my bf and with hrs I take i-pill. Is there is any chance to get pregnant and in how much days my periods gets back if I am not pregnant. Please help is it any chances of pregnancy.
It's about my cousin. She said her husband wants to have sex during her pregnancy and found anal sex as an alternative. They both are mentally agreed but are confused. Need all sorts of advice, medicine, or accessories required to use during this type of sex. How come they should proceed for doing this.
Gestational Surrogacy
We will help you evaluate the benefits of gestational surrogacy and provide you with information about cost, legal issues, and treatment protocols.
In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate is pregnant with her own biological child, but this child will be raised by others. In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate becomes pregnant via embryo transfer with a child that is not biologically her own. The surrogate mother may be called the gestational carrier.
Once a suitable surrogate has been identified, and the screening process is complete, the cycle can begin. Timing depends on the surrogate's and intended parents/donors menstrual cycle .
Surrogacy Cycle Overview
Evaluation Cycle
The surrogate needs to prepare her uterus for implantation with natural estrogen and progesterone. Because each woman is a little different, the dose, duration, and method of administering these hormones may need to be individualized. This can be determined ahead of time by conducting an evaluation cycle. This is a "dry run†in which we duplicate each part of the cycle except the actual transfer of embryos in order to determine how to maximize the chances of success. The evaluation cycle can be completed anytime before the actual procedure. In some circumstances, the evaluation cycle can be waived when the response of the uterus to hormonal stimulation is well known. This is fairly common for women who have undergone many treatment cycles in the past.
Cycle Synchronization
It is necessary to synchronize the menstrual cycles of the surrogate and the intended parent in order to obtain mature eggs and embryos and transfer these back into a perfectly prepared endometrium (uterine lining) to maximize the chances of pregnancy success. This is done using a variety of hormonal manipulations .We will determine which technique will work best for each circumstance. Once both women's (surrogate and intended parent) ovarian function is suppressed and their cycles synchronized, they can begin the process of preparing for pregnancy.
Hormonal Therapy
On about the same day, the surrogate and intended parent will begin hormonal therapies to prepare the appropriate target for pregnancy success. The surrogate will begin taking estrogen to stimulate endometrial (uterine lining) growth and the intended parent will begin taking FSH to stimulate egg production. These treatments are monitored with ultrasound and blood estrogen levels until the eggs are ready to be retrieved and the uterus is ready to accept an embryo. Usually these treatments will take approximately two to three weeks and require five office visits for ultrasounds and blood tests.
Subsequently IVF and embryo transfer is done.
Pregnancy Success!
In successful cycles, the hormonal supplements are continued through the first trimester (12 weeks) of the pregnancy. Once the first trimester is completed and the placenta has matured to the point where it can provide for all the hormonal needs of the pregnancy, no further supplements are required. We will monitor blood levels of estrogen and progesterone at the end of the first trimester and taper off the hormone supplements gradually. Once the hormone supplements are stopped, the rest of the pregnancy is indistinguishable from any other pregnancy!
1. What is infertility?
Infertility is a term that is used to describe the inability of an individual to successfully contribute to the process of conception. In females, it refers to their lack of ability to conceive post having regular, unprotected intercourse. In some cases, it also refers to their inability to carry a pregnancy to its full term. A normal fertility helps conception in the first 12 months of trying for almost 86% of couples, with around 7-8% couples conceiving in their second year, depending on their age. Hence, many practitioners also treat an inability to conceive within the first 12 months as infertility.
2. Is infertility a global problem?
Sub-fertility as well as infertility are a global public health issue affecting approx. 8-12% couples, worldwide. It is prevalent in both males and females. While over 10% of women world-wide, who have been in stable relationships for over 5 years yet been unsuccessful in conceiving, have been estimated to be inflicted with this problem; the count is much smaller in the case of men, primarily because of non-acknowledgement, even though it contributes to almost 50% of reported cases.
3. Do infertility problems occur only among women?
No, infertility problems are as common in men as they are in women. Almost 50% of cases of infertility are attributable to male infertility related issues. However, due to the social structure prevalent, most of such male infertility related issues go unacknowledged.
4. What could be the probable symptoms that suggest a possibility of infertility related problems?
Though the process of conception and the possibility of infertility related problems could be time-driven factors, some symptoms could indicate a bent towards infertility and could be medically examined and addressed in time to curb the problem at the very onset. Some of these indications include:
Indications in Females:
Infertility symptoms in females can be related to either one of multiple of these problems:
• Changes in menstrual cycle: Irregular or infrequent periods mean that the number of days between two cycles varies each month. This is a common indication of infertility as it reflects that the ovulation cycle is not stable, i.e. the body is not producing ovules (egg) regularly or at times not at all.
• Abnormalities in periods: Sudden changes in the bleeding pattern – heavier periods, no period or cramping and pelvic pain associated with periods – could also be indicative of an underlying fertility related problem.
• Hormonal Disturbances: Sudden changes in skin like more than usual acne, changes in sexual drive, unexplained and sudden growth of facial hair, excessive weight gain/loss, etc.
• Other Symptoms: Other symptoms such as pain during sex, milky-white discharge from breast/nipples (unrelated to lactation) can also be indicative of infertility and one should seek medical advice at the earliest.
• Age-related: As one advances in age, the egg count decreases rapidly along with a related deterioration in the egg quality. Hence, if a woman is in her early 30s and is failing to conceive, it could be related to a fertility problem.
Indications in Males:
Infertility symptoms in men can be quite elusive as they are very closely related to the cause of infertility. These often go unnoticed until the point that the couple start trying for a baby. Some of these are:
• Sudden changes in sexual drive.
• Pain, inflammation or lump in the testicles or if the testicles are small and firm.
• Problems related to ejaculation and erection
• Sudden, unexplained changes in hair growth patterns.
• Known semen abnormalities
5. Who are at risk of infertility problems?
Age is one of the most crucial risk involved in fertility related matters. For couples who start trying for a baby later in age, the chances of infertility increases manifolds. Couples where either partner is in their mid-30s or into 40s are at higher risk of infertility problems. While a man's overall lifestyle, health and other factors can affect his chances of contributing to a successful conception, in a woman age and chronic health conditions play a major role.
6. What increases infertility risk in men?
While health and lifestyle are the most important factors that contribute to their fertility levels, including their sperm quality and count, there are many other factors that affect fertility and push towards higher infertility risk among men. Some of these include:
• Age
• Alcohol and tobacco consumption
• Excessive physical exercise, especially excessive cycling
• Weight related issues
• Exposure to toxins at workplace or as part of a medical treatment like chemotherapy/radiation
• Surgical procedures like vasectomy or its reversal
• Family history of infertility or fertility related disorders or other genetic medical conditions like cystic fibrosis
• Medical history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• Certain chronic problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, renal or hormonal problems
7. What can increase the risk of infertility among women?
Ovulation related issues contribute to over 25% of female infertility cases, with tubal blockage and uterine problems coming in as the other infertility causes in women. However, some other factors like the ones enlisted below also put females at risk of infertility:
• Advanced age
• Frequent or heavy alcohol or caffeine consumption
• Cigarette smoking
• Weight-related issues
• Eating disorders and lack of balanced healthy diet
• Intense and extended athletics or no exercise at all
• History of STIs, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or fibroids
• Chronic health issues like high blood pressure or diabetes.
• Hormonal problems like thyroid etc.
• Mental stress and fatigue
8. How is age related to a woman's ability to conceive or infertility aspects?
A woman's fertility rate begins to recede with her age. As a woman nears her mid-30s, her natural fertility starts to fall and many experience difficulties in conception as well as multiple pregnancy failures. The reason for this is that the ovarian reserve in women is fixed since birth and as they age it starts to fall drastically as the follicles keep leaving the reserve in a continuous flow (menstrual cycle). This follicular depletion accelerated as she approaches 40s and decreases not just her egg count but its quality too, as she ages. For men, this progressive drop in fertility rate hits after the age of 40.
9. What are common causes of infertility in men?
One of the most common causes of infertility in men are semen disorders. The semen comprises a milky white fluid and sperms that are ejaculated during orgasm. Abnormal semen contributes to over 75% cases of male infertility. The common semen related disorders include:
i. No sperm presence in semen
ii. Low sperm mobility
iii. Abnormal sperm shape/size
iv. Low sperm concentration (under 10 million/milliliter) in the semen (Ideal: 20 million/milliliter of semen)
The major causes of these abnormalities and a consequent infertility in men are:
1. Ejaculation Disorders
2. Frequent use of saunas, hot baths etc. that lead to overheating of testicles.
3. Testicular infections
4. Testosterone deficiency
5. Deformed or undescended testicles that usually happens as a birth defect or abnormal fetal development.
6. Genetic disorders like Klinefelter's syndrome that lead to abnormally developed testicles.
7. Very frequent intake of medications like Sulfasalazine, Anabolic steroids (frequently taken by athletes), etc. or exposure to chemotherapy/radiation.
8. Conditions like hypospadias (a condition where the urethral opening is not at the tip of the penis but at its underside) or cystic fibrosis.
10. What are common causes infertility in women?
There are a number of conditions that lead to fertility among women, such as:
1. Ovarian Disorders: The most commonly reported reason for infertility among women is a disorder in the ovulation process.
Ovulation involves the production and release of egg. This cycle happens on a monthly basis. However, certain situations lead to a malfunctioned ovulation. These causes include:
i. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which lead to mal function of ovaries
ii. Very high prolactin levels in non-lactating females
iii. Damaged or abnormal eggs – Poor egg quality is common in older women
iv. Thyroid disorders
v. Medical conditions like cancer, diabetes, AIDS, etc.
vi. Premature (before the age of 40) ovarian failure
2. Uterine Disorders: Once fertilized, the egg travels from the ovary to the uterus and it is important that the uterus be healthy to receive and nurture the fertilized egg. However, at times, disorders of the uterus lead to infertility problems in women. Uterine disorders can be attributed to one or more of these reasons:
i. Pelvic or cervical surgery that may cause scarring or damage of the uterus or fallopian tubes or at times shortening of the cervix which serves as the mouth of the uterus.
ii. Endometriosis – a condition where the cells that line the uterus start growing outside the uterus.
iii. Sterilization treatments like tying of tubes, etc.
iv. Uterine fibroids or endometrial polyps
3. Medications: Certain medications like those used in chemotherapy or certain NSAIDS like aspirin and ibuprofen lower fertility rates in females.

Do you like to eat processed foods, and gorge on them a lot to stay away from cooking? It is important for you to know that processed foods are bad for your health and it is best that you avoid consuming them. Although all food items we eat are mechanically processed in certain ways, chemical processing, which is the primary feature of processed food items, is hazardous for your health.
Here are the major reasons why you should not eat processed food items.
- Processed food contains high amounts of sugar and fructose corn syrup: It is a known fact that excessive consumption of sugar in any form is not good for your health. Processed food products are loaded with sugar in huge amounts and also contain high fructose corn syrup, which is equally harmful in excess. Sugar basically has empty calories, which contain no important nutrients. Sugar also has dreadful effects on your body metabolism and may lead to high triglycerides, increased cholesterol levels, insulin resistance, and excess accumulation of fat in your abdominal cavity and liver.
- Processed food is hyper rewarding in nature and over consumption gets likely: Processed food items, because of their high content of sweet and fat, become a sort of addiction for many people. The reward centers of your brain acknowledge them, and as a result, you develop a constant craving for such food stuff.
- Processed food contains harmful artificial ingredients: It is likely for you to not understand the names of ingredients, which processed foods are made of. This is because of the reason that maximum of these ingredients are not actually natural, but are artificial chemicals which get added for several purposes such as preservation, maintaining aroma and much more. These chemicals are associated with several harmful effects on your health. The common ingredients of highly processed foods include the following:
- Chemical preservatives for preventing processed food from rotting
- Chemical colourants, which induce attractive and unique colours to processed foods
- Chemical flavors for giving specific flavours
- Texturants for proving a particular, specific texture to processed foods
The hyper rewarding nature of processed food can lead to severe consequences in many people. It is possible for you to become addicted to processed foods, and lose total control over your consumption rate. This problem of addiction to processed fast foods is a major problem in today's world. It is an important reason for obesity, which is a prominent health concern today all over the world.

Badr Hari's Shortcomings a Metaphor For Kickboxing as a Whole
- Written by Dave Walsh
Right now Badr Hari is sitting inside of his not-so-comfortable jail cell in the Netherlands facing a January court date where he'll be tried for attempted manslaughter, and what's funny is that Hari didn't have to be in that jail cell. All Badr had to do was stay away from going to places that serve alcohol and not talk to any of the witnesses in his upcoming trial, and he did both, so he's back in prison where he will stay until his court date. Badr Hari is a case of wasted potential and one of the sport's biggest stars sitting on the sidelines due to his own terrible decisions and how no one around him took the time to explain to him the gravity of his bad decisions, that or he refused to listen.
The more I think about it, the less I'm not convinced that I'm not talking about the sport of Kickboxing as a whole. I'm not longer talking about just one fighter making poor decisions, what I'm talking about is the sport's biggest up-and-comer pissing away his life to play gangster and tough guy. Badr Hari is the type of fighter that MMA pundits "ooh" and "ahh"ed at openly, citing his skill, demeanor and that "big fight feel" that he brought with him. He has that aura about him that most fighters can only dream of, that aura that is comparable to what Mike Tyson brought to the ring with him in the 90's. Part of what made that was how unpredictable he was in the ring, and how he felt "dangerous," because honestly, Badr Hari is a dangerous person.
Kickboxing itself has a lot of potential and could be a huge, global sport that is well-respected and well-received, I believe more so than MMA and the UFC due to the fact that it is less "brutal" and more in line with the Boxing aesthetic, only with its roots in the Martial Arts world. Kickboxing could be huge, and could is the key word, but for right now we are facing a very odd and rather bleak future for Kickboxing. It is hard to argue that K-1 is in anything other than its death throes and that it has been since 2009, possibly even as far back as 2006 when they almost melted down (it was just less public). Kickboxing has been marred by organized crime involvement, non-payment issues that became giant public debacles, giant egos of those involved who are all grasping at straws to consider themselves the king of the mountain and fighters who are stuck with it all.
You could argue that Glory along with Marcus Luer and Pierre Andurand's respective pocket books and business experience are going to usher in a new golden age for Kickboxing, but it is still yet-to-be-seen as we know that Glory events have yet to turn a profit and they've been having issues selling tickets for events. If anything, those are the growing pains of branding and possibly not doing enough promoting for the events. Building a new brand from the ground up is incredibly tough, especially for a group who thought that in 2012 they would be walking around with the K-1 brand, instead they were faced with the long process of building their own. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise, though, as the K-1 brand is very much a tainted one in the eyes of the fans, the media and those in power in the industry. Then again, claiming a stake in DREAM and running a DREAM event on New Year's Eve is no less of a "tainted" event, is it not?
Remember when MMA rode on the coattails of Kickboxing in Japan to help bolster its popularity, where now Glory feel they need to use MMA to springboard a Heavyweight Kickboxing tournament that a few years ago would have sold out the Saitama Super Arena on its own?
Kickboxing doesn't have to be in this mess, just like Badr Hari doesn't need to be in his jail cell right now, but yet there he is and here we are. I'm not sure if Badr Hari's career can be saved, can the sport be saved?

South Sudan: Strengthening relief operations through better telecommunications
27 June, 2012
Hide Main Image:
Show Image
After years of civil war, even a basic telecommunications infrastructure was non-existent in South Sudan, the world's youngest country. Aid workers, who often rely on satellites and Internet connections to report on the humanitarian and security situation, did not have reliable access to voice-and-data communications. This hampered their efforts to respond faster and more efficiently to South Sudan's serious humanitarian needs.
Those needs are large and growing, as millions of South Sudanese are suffering the effects of hunger, conflict, insecurity, displacement and disease. Last December, an outbreak of communal violence in Jonglei state led to mass displacement as people fled their villages for areas that were hard to reach.
Earlier this year, emergency telecommunication services were set up across four areas in South Sudan (Pibor, Bentiu, Maban and Renk) to help aid workers better coordinate emergency operations and have more access to affected communities.
The project, led by the Emergency Telecommunication Cluster, provided free IT and telecommunications services to some 2,000 aid workers across South Sudan. They can now depend on reliable and secure Internet connections, mobile phone networks and IT services. Improved radio services help them to report on their whereabouts and reach out to others if their safety is threatened.
"The IT services in Pibor and Renk were critical to the success of our emergency interventions," said an official from the international NGO Medair. "Phone services in both locations were intermittent. Being able to send e-mails and locate information on the Internet has saved valuable man-hours, and it's likely that these IT services have saved lives too."
The project is expected to expand to reach five areas in South Sudan where hundreds of humanitarian organizations work. But the services remain underfunded, with just 30 per cent of the required US$3.5 million available for projects this year.

2.18: Mitosis and Cytokinesis
How is your DNA organized?
Your DNA is organized into chromosomes, the pink structures pictured above. Your DNA doesn't always look so pretty, though. It only winds tightly into chromosomes when the cell is getting ready to divide. If your DNA wasn't organized into chromosomes, your DNA would look like a mass of strings and would be difficult to divide up!
Mitosis and Chromosomes
The genetic information of the cell, or DNA, is stored in the nucleus. During mitosis, two nuclei (plural for nucleus) must form, so that one nucleus can be in each of the new cells after the cell divides. In order to create two genetically identical nuclei, DNA inside of the nucleus must be copied or replicated. This occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle. During mitosis, the copied DNA is divided into two complete sets, so that after cytokinesis, each cell has a complete set of genetic instructions.
To begin mitosis, the DNA in the nucleus wraps around proteins to form chromosomes. Each organism has a unique number of chromosomes. In human cells, our DNA is divided up into 23 pairs of chromosomes. Replicated DNA forms a chromosome made from two identical sister chromatids, forming an "X" shaped molecule (Figure below). The two chromatids are held together on the chromosome by the centromere. The centromere is also where spindle fiber microtubules attach during mitosis. The spindles separate sister chromatids from each other.
The DNA double helix wraps around proteins (2) and tightly coils a number of times to form a chromosome (5). This figure shows the complexity of the coiling process. The red dot shows the location of the centromere, which holds the sister chromatids together and is where the spindle microtubules attach during mitosis and meiosis.
Four Phases of Mitosis
During mitosis, the two sister chromatids must be divided. This is a precise process that has four individual phases to it. After the sister chromatids separate, each separate chromatid is now known as a chromosome. Each resulting chromosome is made of DNA from just one chromatid. So: each chromosome after this separation is made of "1/2 of the X." Through this process, each daughter cell receives one copy of each chromosome. The four phases of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (Figure below).
- Prophase: The chromosomes "condense," or become so tightly wound that you can see them under a microscope. The membrane around the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, disappears. Spindles also form and attach to chromosomes to help them move.
- Metaphase: The chromosomes line up in the center, or the equator, of the cell. The chromosomes line up in a row, one on top of the next.
- Anaphase: The two sister chromatids of each chromosome separate as the spindles pull the chromatids apart, resulting in two sets of identical chromosomes.
- Telophase: The spindle dissolves and nuclear envelopes form around the chromosomes in both cells.
An overview of the cell cycle and mitosis: during prophase the chromosomes condense, during metaphase the chromosomes line up, during anaphase the sister chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell, and during telophase the nuclear envelope forms.
After telophase, each new nucleus contains the exact same number and type of chromosomes as the original cell. The cell is now ready for cytokinesis, which literally means "cell movement." During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides and the parent cell separates, producing two genetically identical cells, each with its own nucleus. A new cell membrane forms and in plant cells, a cell wall forms as well. Below is a representation of dividing plant cells (Figure below).
This is a representation of dividing plant cells. Cell division in plant cells differs slightly from animal cells as a cell wall must form. Note that most of the cells are in interphase. Can you find examples of the different stages of mitosis?
- anaphase: Third phase of mitosis in which sister chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.
- centromere: Region of a chromosome where sister chromatids are joined together.
- chromosome: Structure made of DNA and proteins that contains the genetic material of a cell.
- cytokinesis: Division of the cytoplasm.
- metaphase: Second phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell.
- mitosis: Division of the nucleus.
- nucleus: Eukaryotic cell structure that contains the genetic material, DNA.
- prophase: Initial phase of mitosis in which chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope dissolves and the spindle begins to form.
- sister chromatids: Two identical copies of a chromosome.
- spindle: Structure that helps separate the sister chromatids during mitosis; also separates homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
- telophase: Final phase of mitosis in which a nuclear envelop forms around each of the two sets of chromosomes.
- The DNA in the nucleus wraps around proteins to form chromosomes.
- During mitosis, the newly duplicated chromosomes are divided into two daughter nuclei.
- Mitosis occurs in four phases, called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Emmanuel College upholds the values and beliefs important to its founders, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, through it's mission of educating students in a dynamic learning community rooted in the liberal arts and sciences and shaped by strong ethical values and a Catholic academic tradition.
The College translates this mission into action through its commitment to rigorous intellectual inquiry and the pursuit of social justice in order to transform lives and make a better world. The Emmanuel College community encourages its members to share their knowledge, opinions, thoughts and experiences as this is an integral part of the educational process. An Emmanuel education develops individuals' capacities for critical thinking, ethical decision-making and contributing to the greater good. Our educational culture is characterized by values of academic integrity, ethics and trust.
Building and Sustaining a Community of Integrity and Trust
Academic integrity, ethics and trust are core values in the Emmanuel College community. These values should matter to all members of the community and should apply everywhere-in our classrooms, in the Library, in the Computer Labs, in the Student Center, in the dorms, in the cafeteria and in our offices.
An academic community where each member of that community upholds the values of academic integrity, ethics and trust is one in which faculty members, students, administrators and staff can achieve significant goals and make meaningful contributions. In such a community, people treat each other with respect and value the intellectual and real property of other individuals and of the community as a whole.


text: Seems that we're beginning the process to begin releasing some prerelease Mason packages. I have created a few nice looking Trees using the LSystem Python script for Blender. I need to fine tune the trees a bit so they'll look good in uclient (our isometric client). ZephA thinks he has the map problem solved where maps created in Frost Map Editor wouldn't load properly in Uclient. Perhaps I'll mess around with that some today.
