William Henry Harrison
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"I am now President of these here United States of America.."
"Wrap up warm Willy! You know Washington can be cold in March."
"My good man. I am fresh out of clean handkerchiefs. Wipe your nose on my coat!"
"I don't want to go."
William Henry Harrison (February 9, 1773 – April 4, 1841) was ninth president of the United States of America and is best known for having the shortest wiki article of all the presidents. There is not a lot to say, so we haven't.[1]
edit References
- ↑ That's the honest truth. Harrison was elected in November 1840 and sworn in as US President in March 1841. One month later Harrison was dead after catching a cold from a citizen sneezing all over him and then wiping his nose on the president's frock coat. It should have been curable but then no one knew much about germs and kleenex. Harrison was told to wrap up warm and not to touch strangers but he ignored advice, the stubborn silly old Whig. So he would have probably been a terrible president, done nothing except ride a horse round Washington and pestering the ladies. So lets move on shall we?

about autophagy...
Autophagy is a highly conserved eukaryotic pathway for sequestering and transporting bulk cytoplasm, including proteins and organelle material, to the lysosome for degradation (reviewed in 5). Upon starvation for nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and various amino acids, or upon endoplasmic reticulum stress, cells initiate formation of a double-membrane vesicle, termed an autophagosome, that mediates this process (6, 7, reviewed in 8). Approximately 30 autophagy-related (Atg) proteins have been identified in S. cerevisiae, 17 of which are essential for formation of the autophagosome (reviewed in 9). Null mutations in most of these genes prevent induction of autophagy, and cells do not survive nutrient starvation; however, these mutants are viable in rich medium. Some of the Atg proteins are also involved in a constitutive biosynthetic process termed the cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway, which uses autophagosomal-like vesicles for selective transport of hydrolases aminopeptidase I (Lap4p) and alpha-mannosidase (Ams1p) to the vacuole (10, 11).
Autophagy proceeds via a multistep pathway (a summary diagram (download pdf) kindly provided by Dan Klionsky). First, nutrient availability is sensed by the TORC1 complex and also cooperatively by protein kinase A and Sch9p (12, 13). Second, signals generated by the sensors are transmitted to the autophagosome-generating machinery comprised of the 17 Atg gene products. These 17 proteins collectively form the pre-autophagosomal structure/phagophore assembly site (PAS). The PAS generates an isolation membrane (IM), which expands and eventually fuses along the edges to complete autophagosome formation. At the vacuole the outer membrane of the autophagosome fuses with the vacuolar membrane and autophagic bodies are released, disintegrated, and their contents degraded for reuse in biosynthesis (14 and reviewed in 9).
about the Cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway
Cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) is a constitutive and specific form of autophagy that uses autophagosomal-like vesicles for selective transport of hydrolases aminopeptidase I (Lap4p) and alpha-mannosidase (Ams1p) to the vacuole (10, 11). Unlike autophagy, which is primarily a catabolic process, Cvt is a biosynthetic process. Like autophagosomes, Cvt vesicles form at a structure known as the phagophore assembly site (PAS) (also called the pre-autophagosomal structure). The PAS structure generates an isolation membrane (IM), which expands and eventually fuses along the edges to complete vesicle formation. At the vacuole, the outer membrane of the Cvt vesicle fuses with the vacuolar membrane, the vesicle is degraded, and the cargos are released and processed into their mature forms by vacuolar peptidases (reviewed in 15). The Cvt pathway has not been observed outside of yeast, and enzymes specifically involved in this pathway are not well conserved in other organisms (16 and references therein).
about ATG15
ATG15 encodes a transmembrane protein that is required for one of the final stages of autophagy, the degradation of the autophagic vesicle in the vacuole (10, and reviewed in 17). Atg15p is a glycosylated protein containing a functional domain that is conserved among lipases and esterases (3). Atg15p is transported from the ER to the vacuole via the multivesicular body (MVB) pathway and is eventually degraded by vacuolar proteinase A (Pep4p) (2).
atg15 mutants fail to degrade autophagic, Cvt, and intravacuolar MVB vesicles, show a decrease in their total protein turnover rate, and are defective in sporulation (10, 4, 2, 18). ATG15 homologs have been identified in all yeast species and filamentous fungi studied to date, but no ATG15 ortholog has yet been identified in higher eukaryotes (16).
about autophagy nomenclature
The initial identification of factors involved in autophagy was carried out by several independent labs, which led to a proliferation of nomenclature for the genes and gene products involved. The differing gene name acronyms from these groups included APG, AUT, CVT, GSA, PAG, PAZ, and PDD (1 and references therein). A concerted effort was made in 2003 by the scientists working in the field to unify the nomenclature for these genes, and "AuTophaGy-related" genes are now denoted by the letters ATG (1). In addition to the ATG gene names that have been assigned to S. cerevisiae proteins and their orthologs, several ATG gene names, including ATG25, ATG28, and ATG30, have been used to designate proteins in other ascomycete yeast species for which there is no identifiable equivalent in S. cerevisiae (16, 19).

I am in my 40s with mid brown hair greying around the temples/ears, which I have been dying for years. I usually use Superdrug or other cheapo brown hair dye just to touch up the greys, but it is messy, wasteful, and a bit of a faff to mix up small amounts, so I thought this reusable mousse would be ideal - no mixing, no mess, and only use what I need. On the box it advises shaking it vigorously 20 times. I was mystified why they specified exactly 20. But hey.. I followed the… Read Full Review

I tried using these after reading a review somewhere about them. Overall, I really didn't like the way they worked. The main problem i it takes 2-3 towels to cover your entire body. After you consider how much they cost, this is a VERY expensive way to self tan your body. The color I got after using these was pretty light overall. I generally prefer a darker tan; so these simply didn't work very well for me, They did smell pretty good, so there's no issue there. And they were kind of… Read Full Review

This is a fabulously luxurious, chocolate scented intense cream for dry skin. It is full of good natural moisturisers, no animal products only organic vegan stuff in here. You need the smallest amount to get great results. I have been using this for about three weeks and my pot still has plenty left but my elbows are nice and soft and I have even used this on my heels at night. I love using this at night as I go to bed because the smell is calming and comforting and I enjoy this as I am… Read Full Review

Small steps lead to big weight loss for Duluth woman
A Lincoln Park woman who lost 160 pounds and transformed herself into a long-distance runner will be honored Saturday as the American Heart Association's 2012 Lifestyle Change Award winner.By: John Lundy, Duluth News Tribune
A Lincoln Park woman who lost 160 pounds and transformed herself into a long-distance runner will be honored Saturday as the American Heart Association's 2012 Lifestyle Change Award winner.
Dayle Nelson, a transportation aide in the Duluth schools, weighed 322 pounds on Nov. 2, 2009, when she decided it was time to lose weight, she said. She had tried before without success.
"I look back three years ago, and I guess I was in denial of what I could or couldn't do," said Nelson, 45, who will be honored during this year's Heart Walk at the University of Minnesota Duluth's Malosky Stadium. "I tried dieting in the past, and I would last three or four days and I'd think: This is too hard."
Nelson had visited her doctor three days earlier, and she had an appointment for the middle of the month with the Heart to Heart program at Essentia Health. The program, now called the Heart and Vascular Wellness Program, is designed to help people adopt healthier lifestyles, said Bonnie Brost, a registered dietitian who worked with Nelson.
But Nelson decided not to wait until the program started.
"I decided … I was going to start off just being mindful of what I ate," she said. She started simply by watching portion sizes and avoiding junk food.
By the time she started the Essentia program, she already had lost 11 pounds on her own. She took advantage of the program to incorporate additional changes into her life. "They helped me to learn that you take small steps," Nelson said.
She started exercising in small steps, walking the seven-tenths of a mile to work. In March 2010, she set a goal of being far enough along by June to walk the William Irvin 5K, one of the Grandma's Marathon events.
"I knew that to do that I'd have to be able to walk three miles at a time," she said. "And I did it. That night, coming around the back side of the DECC … to come up Harbor Drive by the Irvin, somebody yelled, 'Run.' And I thought, 'Why not?' It took everything I had.
"I got down to the finish line, and it was all I could do to breathe. I thought two things. One was: 'You did it.' And the second one was: 'Oh, I gotta do this again.' And a runner was born."
Since then, Nelson has competed in 11 or 12 races, she said, including two half-marathons. She ran the most recent in less than two hours. She no longer takes blood-pressure medications. Her sugar levels are where they should be.
"I feel like a whole new person," Nelson said. "There's a self-worth, a self-confidence that is amazing."
Losing weight is an "amazingly effective" way of improving the heart's health, Borst said. If you're overweight, the heart has to pump more miles of blood and support more weight. "Think about carrying 40 pounds around all day, 24 hours a day," she said.
Scott Nelson, 45, and their children, Alex, 16, and Greta, 14, have been her biggest supporters, Nelson said, and they've joined in the effort. Scott has lost weight and become more active, Alex walks to school at Denfeld High School, and Greta has a goal of running in a race with her mom. They all eat healthier meals than they were eating three years ago.
Family support was vital, Borst said.
"The key thing about Dayle is she was ready," Borst said. "She wanted to set a better example for her children and her husband."
People who haven't seen Dayle Nelson in a couple of years don't recognize her, she said. Some people have wondered who that woman is with her husband, she said with a laugh.
"My husband's joke is, 'Yeah, I got rid of my wife and got a new girlfriend,' " she related.
What worked for her can work for other people, Nelson said. She didn't set out to lose 160 pounds; that would have been overwhelming. She changed her lifestyle, a little at a time, and stuck with it.
"Take those small steps," she said. "They kept adding up and adding up and adding up."

10 unique modes of transportation around the world
Chicken Bus
Guatemala, Central America
While variations of the chicken bus can be found in many different countries (this reminds me a lot of taking the tro-tro in Ghana, Africa), this vehicle is used not only to transport people but also livestock, hence the name. These U.S. school buses are very eye-catching as they are colorfully painted and decorated. When taking one expect cramped conditions, as chicken buses tend to be packed to capacity, and hectic driving at Nascar speeds.
Alaska, USA
Sled dogs are highly trained dogs that are used to pull a dog sled, which is a vehicle without wheels that glides over snow and ice. If you need a mental image, think Santa being pulled by reindeer, only you're not flying and there are dogs instead of deer. Endurance and speed are the two main qualities that sled dogs must possess, and this transportation type has become a popular winter sport in other countries around the world such as Japan and Germany.
Human Powered Rickshaws
Kyoto, Japan
While urbanization across Asia has mostly done away with this traditional form of transportation, you can still find them used in certain areas where cars are not accessible in Kyoto, Japan, as well as in some parts of India. According to Kelvin Lim of BootsnAll, many rickshaw "drivers" wear a special foot-glove that helps them travel through various types of terrain without slipping.
India and Asia
In India and many places in South East Asia, an elephant is not only an animal but also a mode of transport. When I was Vietnam I actually went on an elephant ride with a local school owner named Roy who explained to me that "in many Asian countries we use animals to help with labor". While once used to carry the wealthy around, today exploring a country on the back of an elephant is a big tourist attraction.
Habal Habal
Philippines, Asia
The Habal Habal is a unique motorcycle that can seat many people. The simpler versions seat 4-5 people, with a seat that extends over the back wheel, while the more complex type of Habal Habal can seat up to thirteen people and their luggage with the addition of wooden planks acting as benches.
Rail Cart
Philippines, Southeast Asia
The rail cart is most commonly found in the Philippines and is literally a cart that is pulled along rail tracks by a person, people, or a horse. The special wheels on the cart allow for quick transport but, unfortunately, are not always fast enough to get out of the way of the real trains that also use the tracks.
Reed Boat
Lake Titicana, Peru
Lake Titicana stretches across the countries of Peru and Bolivia and is home to many floating villages around Southern Peru. These villages are inhabited by the Uro people, who use natural resources, like reed, to construct homes and boats. The boats are light but resiliant and, built in the shape of a dragon, are said to have been used by the anicent Incas to ward off evil spirits.
Camel Back
Jordan, Middle East
While there are many places where camel rides are popular, one way to try out this transport option for yourself is by trekking through the beautiful rose colored deserts of Wadi Rum in Jordan. Cairo, Dubai, Mongolia, Morocco, and many deserts in India are also known for being camel riding hotspots.
Couch Bike
When I found this highly unusual mode of transportation, I was kind of expecting it to be from America. The Couch Bike, which is literally a couch that you pedal like a bike, pokes fun at sedentary culture while providing an eco-friendly alternative to driving. Just make sure you know the traffic laws of the city you'll be riding in, as the vehicle may not be legal to drive in all areas.
Monte Toboggan Ride
Madeira, Portugal
This unique transport mode is only for the adventureous. Once a popular mode of transport in the 1800's-early 1900's, it is a big tourist attraction today in Madeira. Passengers sit in a wicker or wooden tobaggan and ride down the mountain from Monte to Funchal. While an exhilerating experience, you don't have to worry too much about crashing as there are two locals "steering" the vehicle from the outside. It's kind of like being a kid again and having your parents pull you around in a sled, only your parents probably weren't yanking you down a steep mountain with winding turns.

How about the motos in Iquitos, Peru? The somewhat large city is an Amazon port but has no roads connected to it. The motos, inspired by tuk-tuks (many ships come from Asia) are all pretty old but zip you across town on three wheels very cheaply.

My dream is to walk around the world. A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly in place. A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. A hat. Good shoes. A nice pleated (green?) skirt for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.

The man pedaled rickshaw is still used in India. I wonder how common are in other parts of the world. Was a fun experience!

Comments about BY TERRY ECLAT DE TEINT PINCEAU, Color Skin Enhancer Brush, 1 Flash Rose, 6.2 ml:
I use this underneath and around the corners of my eyes. I love how it really brightens my face! It helps make a nice glow! Just know, this product is sheer, not for someone looking for a heavier coverage. I wear this on the days I want a more natural look with lighter face makeup, and no eyeshadow. The brush is really soft and I like how wide it is, it helps with the application.

Ryan comes from a long line of college football fans (actually more like FANatics!) But, this season is not the one Ryan has hoped for, not for his beloved Wolverines and not for his Lions.
He would sure like to end his birth year on a GOOD NOTE by going to his 1st Motor City Bowl Game. Then his grandparents can babysit him while his mommy and daddy have a night out on their own(good night sleep).
FOOTBALL is my Little LIFE!

Allen William Gustafson
Private family services will be held for longtime Port Angeles resident Allen William Gustafson, 77, who died Jan. 1, 2010, at the age of 77.
He was born July 13, 1932, in Brooklyn, N.Y., to Alex William and Inez Hazel Correll Gustafson.
Drennan & Ford Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
William "Bill" McHugh died (two weeks prior to his 88th birthday) on Saturday, December 26 from heart failure. He had just shared with his wife Margaret, a few hours before his death, how wonderful Christmas had been and how happy he was with his life and his family.
He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, attended Judge Memorial High School (1938) and then earned his BA Degree (Magna Cum Laude) from Santa Clara University (1942).
He married Margaret Ann Gloe of Salt Lake City, Utah in 1943.
Immediately after graduation, Bill accepted a commission in the US Army as a captain in a Field Artillery Battalion. He was part of Patton's march across Europe and on February 23, 1945, near Ernzen, Germany; he ... "was supervising the work of one of his forward observers who was being subjected to intense enemy artillery and mortar fire. When his forward observer was wounded as a result of this enemy action, Captain McHugh, with utter disregard for his own personal safety, voluntarily went forward to the dangerous area and evacuated the wounded soldier to an aid station where immediate first aid could be administered. Later he returned to the area still under enemy fire to instruct and orient the man who relieved the casualty. His unhesitating action and conspicuous courage reflect great credit upon himself and is in keeping with the highest traditions of the armed forces of the United States." For this, he received one of the two Bronze Stars he was awarded during the Battle of the Bulge.
After the war, he worked in San Jose, CA for 2 years then moved his family to Idaho where he worked for Salt Lake Hardware as a salesman with a territory encompassing Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. He then worked for the State of Idaho as an employment counselor while earning his Master's Degree from Idaho State University in 1967. After their three children moved from home, Margaret and Bill decided to pick up and headed for a PhD program at the University of
Oregon-Eugene. They both earned their Doctorates in 1970.
Bill was an Assistant Professor at the University of Victoria
(1970-1975) before he joined the Peninsula Counseling Center (1975-1978) in Port Angeles. Then, Bill and Margaret opened their own practice - McHugh & Associates -in Sequim, WA (1978-1995). They both retired in 1995.
Bill was active with the local and national chapters of the Kiwanis. He was selling Christmas trees for the group last week and very happy that all the trees were sold. In the Kiwanis, Bill served as a local President, as a Regional Lt. Governor and as a committed member for over 25 years. He was always very proud of his work on the summer camp for handicapped children, which Kiwanis developed and still sponsors.
Bill loved his God, his family, his friends and his life. He will be remembered for all the unselfish things he did for people and animals. He was a consummate gardener (Master Gardener) and constant learner. The pain of his passing is difficult for all his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife Margaret, three children- Mary Margaret McHugh Shuford and her husband Walter; William Michael McHugh and JoAnn De Grande; Michelle Marie McHugh and her husband Gary Sprague; four grandchildren- Michael Troy Shuford, Michael Tate McHugh, Shauna Dee McHugh Luddy, Trenton Charles Shuford; and seven great-grandchildren.
A memorial Mass was held at 10:00 am. Saturday, January 2, 2010 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church (121 E. Maple Street) in Sequim, WA.

Walk MS: Journey of Hope Massachusetts 2014
May 17, 2014
Location: Natick High School (Directions)
Address: 15 West St., Natick, MA
Time: 8 a.m. Check-in; 9 a.m. Start
Route Length: 5 miles (fully accessible route)
Event Contact Name: David Young-Hong
Event Contact Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Event Contact Phone: 1-800-344-4867
Approximately five miles in length, the MS Journey of Hope is comprised of teams of walkers raising funds to support the services of Comprehensive MS Care Centers who are our Partners in MS Care.
Providing comprehensive quality care and support to those affected by multiple sclerosis is a challenge that must be addressed. Not all services provided by Comprehensive MS Care Centers have sources of financial support. Yet it is extremely important that we ensure the continuation of all current patient services, and develop the resources to provide additional services that are currently unfunded.
To raise the necessary funds, participating Comprehensive MS Care Centers who are Partners in MS Care in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont form walk teams for the MS Journey of Hope. Funds raised by MS Center teams directly benefit MS Centers. Your financial support helps achieve that objective when you join one of our Comprehensive MS Care Center teams.
Connect. Walk MS.
Walk MS connects people living with MS and those who care about them. It is an experience unlike any other - a day to come together, to celebrate the progress we've made and to show the power of our connections.
When you participate in Walk MS, the funds you raise give hope to the nearly 18,000 individuals and their families affected by multiple sclerosis in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The dollars raised support life-changing programs and cutting-edge research. Every connection counts.
Forming a team is a great way to fundraise. Teams provide inspiration and competition for other participants, it's contagious; it puts the "fun" in fundraising, plus the more the merrier! Join an MS Center team (only funds raised by Journey of Hope MS Center teams directly benefit MS Centers) or start your own. We welcome non-MS Center Teams (funds raised by teams other than MS Center Teams are not distributed to any MS Center, but are used to support the programs and services for those affected by MS throughout the chapter).
Register now, connect with others and start fundraising today.
Journey of Hope participants raise a minimum of $250.

Canada U20s Set for USA |
Canada - Men |
Rugby Canada's Men's U20 Team Coach Mike Shelley has today named the side that will face the United States U20s in the first of two matches this week as part of the side's final preparations for the IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy.
The two games, the first on May 23 at Shawinigan School and the second at Bear Mountain Stadium at the brand new Canadian Rugby Centre of Excellence in Langford, British Columbia, mark the beginning of final preparations for that tournament, which takes place in Salt Lake City, Utah, starting June 18. Canada have been drawn in a tough pool containing beaten finalists for the past two years Japan, a strong Georgia side and an ever improving Zimbabwe, and the coaching staff is looking for the games at home against the USA to provide a springboard leading into that competition. "These two matches are a continuation of our preparation for the Junior World Rugby Trophy," Shelley told Rugby Canada. Those preparations have so far seen the U20s take on Romania in a 23-6 loss and Canadian Rugby Championship side The Rock in a match where the young Canadians showed plenty of heart and fight before ultimately going down 41-21. Both matches were played at Bear Mountain and Georgia U20 will also be visiting on June 9 for the final game before the teams both head south for tournament action. "The guys know that that they are playing for places in the starting fifteen against Georgia now," Shelley said. "These next two games are good opportunities for players to put up their hands and get noticed by the coaching staff." All the team assembled in Langford earlier this month, and Coach Shelley has been using the time with the young athletes to assess players and options. Although he said he has a good idea of his strongest line-up, he stressed that the door remains open for players to force their way into contention. "I have a balanced team here, I have been working with many of these players for a few months now, but we still need to keep options open and have a look at all the players that weren't here.," he said.

They would never sell. No one expects anything associated with the name Obama to actually do anything productive or useful.

Hell, they ought to be giving away "common man" pencil sharpeners to illustrate to the low information voter what Obama and the Dems are doing to them. Hell, about a billion dollars worth of ads couldn't why not try a few props?

Now who's Barry bowing over to? The pencil gods perhaps.

Another apropos title for these tools would be: Stick it in the cranks.

I'll buy one of each if it has the iOTW logo on it. Wouldn't want anybody to think I bought it because I like the destroyers of freedom.

These are great, except that I would sharpen every pencil down to the eraser the first time I used it on one. (use your imagination – there's a visual here)

Classic Boy Scout
This photo of an unknown boy scout is absolutely amazing! I do not know the young boy, but it looks as though this photo could have been used to promote the Boy Scouts of America organization - it's that perfect.
Having been a boy scout for years myself, I have a true appreciation for this photo. I

Book Description |
return to top |
This book describes statistical concepts and techniques for evaluating medical diagnostic tests and biomarkers for detecting disease. More generally, the techniques pertain to the statistical classification problem for predicting a dichotomous outcome. Measures for quantifying test accuracy are described including sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, diagnostic likelihood ratios and the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve that is commonly used for continuous and ordinal valued tests. Statistical procedures are presented for estimating and comparing them. Regression frameworks for assessing factors that influence test accuracy and for comparing tests while adjusting for such factors are presented.
This book presents many worked examples of real data and should be of interest to practicing statisticians or quantitative researchers involved in the development of tests for classification or prediction in medicine.

Fall Line Testing and Inspection, LLC, has chosen Tucson, Arizona as its national headquarters, the company reported.
The construction testing and inspection firm purchased a 10,000-square-foot building in Tucson at 3414 E. Elvira. Fall Line is an affiliate of Pittsburgh-based Paul C. Rizzo Associates, Inc.
Fall Line, which has a staff of about 30 engineers and technicians, recently completed testing for Missouri's Taum Sauk Upper Reservoir Rebuild Project, which involved testing more than 3 million yards of concrete, the company reported. The Taum Sauk Upper Reservoir is the largest roller- compacted-concrete structure in North America.
The company also worked on the Tennessee Valley Authority-owned New Bear Creek Dam in Alabama and the Sallisaw Creek Watershed Spillway in Oklahoma. Fall Line staff members also are working on North Carolina's Deep Creek and Catawba dams, the company reported.

I have had good results with using Super T CA glue for automotive plastics. They make a three different kinds, one is gap filling and very thick, one is somewhat gap filling, and the last is very runny and does not fill gaps. I would probably use the thickest if there are lots of gaps, or the medium one if the seams are fairly tight. Either way you go, be sure to get some accelerator to quickly cure the glue once in place. I don't know how well any kind of glue will last holding a sub enclosure together... plastic soldering isn't much better in my experience. If it were me and I wanted it done right, I would glue it together, then go along all the seams with some fiberglass resin and matting - then it really won't separate! |
spr0k3t | I would go with a two level approach. On the inside spray it down with rubberized undercote. On the outside, do a plastic weld with more rubberized undercote. That will give you a very strong mend, as well as seal up any spots you may have missed. As for what glue, really does depend on the type of plastic. Some plastic glues work great where as others just won't hold at all. For plastic welding, it's easy to do... get yourself a throw away soldering iron and a fist full of black zip ties. The iron needs to be hot enough to melt the plastic you want to weld but not so hot it burns a hole through it. Check out some of the vids online, it's not hard. |

Stock Sub enclosure help I recently replaced my stock stereo including the sub speaker. The old one wasn't even stock or even fit for that matter. It seems the previous owner attempted to open the enclosure at the seam & it rattles horribly. My question is: What glue woud you recomend to glue it back together at the seam? It is plastic & I can't tell what kind... I had no idea there were sooo many adhesives for different plastics. Since it's a sub enclosure it needs to be strong. Don't care what it looks like since it will be in the console. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks, Ronnie |

Social Media
Today's teens and tweens are connected to one another, and to the world, via digital technology more than any previous generation. Recent data suggests that social media venues like Facebook and Twitter have surpassed e-mail as the preferred method of communication in all age groups. While today's tweens and teens may be more digitally savvy than their parents, their lack of maturity and life experience can quickly get them into trouble with these new social venues. For this reason, it is imperative that parents talk with their children of all ages about social media and monitor their online social media use to help them navigate this new online social world. How parents talk with their kids and teens will vary slightly by age depending on the topic being discussed. These tips will help you start that journey with your family.
For kids of all ages, ask daily: "Have you used the computer and the Internet today?"
Technology use will vary by age. Tweens are likely to be using more instant messaging and texting, while teens use those technologies and also networking sites such as Facebook. (These tools often are referred to as "platforms" for social networking.) Ask daily how your family used those tools with questions such as: "What did you write on Facebook today?" "Any new chats recently?" "Anyone text you today?"
Share a bit about your daily social media use as a way to facilitate daily conversation about your kids' online habits.
Talk with other parents about what their kids of similar ages are using for social media. Ask your kids about those technologies as a starting point for discussion. If they are in the same peer group, there is a good chance they are all using the same platforms together. For example:
Consider formal monitoring systems to track your child's email, chat, IM and image content. Parental controls on your computer or from your Internet service provider, Google Desktop or commercial programs are all reasonable alternatives.
Set time limits for Internet and cell phone use. Learn the warning signs of trouble: skipping activities, meals and homework for social media; weight loss or gain; a drop in grades. If these issues are occurring due to your child being online when they should be eating, sleeping, participating in school or social activities, your child may have a problem with Internet or social media addiction. Contact your pediatrician for advice if any of these symptoms are occurring.
Check chat logs, emails, files and social networking profiles for inappropriate content, friends, messages, and images periodically. Be transparent and let your kids know what you are doing.
Multitasking can be dangerous--even deadly. Be sure to stress to teens the importance of not texting, Facebooking, using the phone, listening to ear buds or earphones, or engaging in similarly distracting activities while driving. These forms of distracted driving are illegal in many states because they are so dangerous. And caution kids of all ages about using mobile devices while walking, biking, babysitting or doing other things that require their full attention.
The Problem of "Sexting"
"Sexting" refers to sending a text message with pictures of children or teens that are inappropriate, naked or engaged in sex acts. According to a recent survey, about 20 percent of teen boys and girls have sent such messages. The emotional pain it causes can be enormous for the child in the picture as well as the sender and receiver--often with legal implications. Parents must begin the difficult conversation about sexting before there is a problem and introduce the issue as soon as a child is old enough to have a cell phone. Here are some tips for how to begin these conversations with your children:
Talk to your kids, even if the issue hasn't directly impacted your community. "Have you heard of sexting?" "Tell me what you think it is." For the initial part of the conversation, it is important to first learn what your child's understanding is of the issue and then add to it an age appropriate explanation (see next bullet).
Use examples appropriate for your child's age. For younger children with cell phones who do not yet know about sex, alert them that text messages should never contain pictures of people--kids or adults--without their clothes on, kissing or touching each other in ways that they've never seen before. For older children, use the term "sexting" and give more specifics about sex acts they may know about. For teens, be very specific that "sexting" often involves pictures of a sexual nature and is considered pornography.
Make sure kids of all ages understand that sexting is serious and considered a crime in many jurisdictions. In all communities, if they "sext", there will be serious consequences, quite possibly involving the police, suspension from school, and notes on the sexter's permanent record that could hurt their chances of getting into college or getting a job.
Experts have noted that peer pressure can play a major role in the sending of texts, with parties being a major contributing factor. Collecting cell phones at gatherings of tweens and teens is one way to reduce this temptation.
Monitor headlines and the news for stories about "sexting" that illustrate the very real consequences for both senders and receivers of these images. "Have you seen this story?" "What did you think about it?" "What would you do if you were this child?" Rehearse ways they can respond if asked to participate in inappropriate texting.
Encourage school and town assemblies to educate parents, teachers and students.

Talking about sexting in schools
In the October 2013 Pediatrics study, "National Trends in Psychotropic Medication Use in Young Children: 1994-2009," data of more than 43,000 children ages 2 to 5 years found that psychotropic drug use peaked in 2002-2005, then stabilized in 2006-2009.
