This is your everyday drugstore lotion, but it does absorb and moisturize well. It wont get rid of extremely dry patches or improve collagen production like it suggests. But it is a thick lotion and it does a good job at keeping skin soft most of the day without feeling greasy. With daily use my skin feels softer, and when I put it on my dry, cracked feet with socks I notice a definite improvement. One of the better lotions you can find for under $10 without any weird smells, clogged pores or parabens/pthalates. I like to wait a few minutes after a shower to use this, I found if I tried to put it on right out of the shower (like I usually do) it takes much longer to absorb and transfers more.
I usually prefer more natural lotions but when I am cash strapped this is a good alternative. The bottle has lasted a long time despite using it on my entire body- I took off one lippy because it's a pump and I know that means eventually I am going to be turning it upside down to get the rest out. I wouldn't repurchase, but I rarely do with lotions unless they are HG quality.

I simply love this! I Im 20, and my skin is ok but the weather in here is too it! After sweating it tends to dry a lot but with this lotion I can forget about that! It gives long lasting softness and moisture. It gives my skin a beautiful natural glow!

I love all the St. Ives lotions. They're affordable and moisturizing. The Collagen/Elastin smells a little fruity to me, but nothing overpowering or offensive. I'm not quite sure if the ingredients in each variation do anything specific, but they all leave the skin feeling nice.

No sure what to expect from a drug store moisturizer but certain this one is fine if you are into something basic. The collagen in the product is most likely plant collagen which will not do a thing to penetrate skin cells with the hope that this will encourage them to go forth and multiply. It has a nice texture and an lovely clean fragrance. If it is on sale and I need a basic moisturizer I will try this again.

This is a very basic, generic moisturizer. It does the job well and doesn't leave a greasy after feel. I really like the clean scent of the product and the fact that its made with natural moisturizers. However, I don't know if the collagen is actually working...

I've been using this lotion for a long time and I like how it absorbs easily and doesn't have a strong fragrance. I apply after showering - mostly to my body but occassionally I'll use on my hands and face. I prefer thicker creams for my hands which get horribly dry especially in the winter. But this has done a great job at keeping my legs from looking scaly. For the price this is a great bargain. I don't buy anything else for body lotion - this is it!

What I don't like about this product is the false implications. The inclusion of 'collagen' in the product may lead people to believe that using this lotion will improve the collagen in their skin. It won't. Collagen is not a collagen builder, if that makes sense.
However, it moisturizes and St. Ives typically produces fair and likable products.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this body lotion!! It's definitely the most moisturizing and soothing lotion I have EVER used in my 25 years of life!
The smell is a gentle marine/botanical kind of smell. Kind of powdery, soft and fresh. Definitely a lovely, light, calming fragrance.
The lotion itself absorbs super quickly and immediately left my whole body feeling softer, firmer and smoother than I ever remember. My legs (which were dry prior to using) now look glowing and smooth. I apply straight after a bath or shower when my skin is still a tiny bit moist - Works even better this way :)
The pump bottle means it is hygienic and easy to use and you get a HUGE amount for such a good price.
St Ives are an underrated, amazing company - Will buy this again and again!

I really don't feel like I need to add a whole lot to what everyone else has said, except that I suffer from such dry cracked skin in the winter that my hands are covered with small cuts where the skin has split. I have severely dry patches, and wrinkles allover my hands from dryness and I am only 33! I have tried everything over the years to at least try to keep enough moisture in my skin that it doesnt split open every time I make a fist. I have tried hand moisturizers from Korres, Philosophy, Clinique, Avon, Gold Bond, Jergens, Olay, Estee Lauder, Boots- and a whole host of other items, you can see what I mean. Most of the products have burned upon application and turned my already inflamed skin red... didn't help at all. There were only three items I have tried that helped soothe my skin. St Ives Collagen Elastin in the pump bottle actually seems to give my sore dry skin some elacticity where I can actually make a fist without it breaking skin after application. I wont say that it is healing my skin, but it makes it very bearable, doesnt burn upon application, doesnt irritate my skin, and literally makes it feel better. It may not heal my skin, but it helps it stay calm so it can heal on its own. It leaves my skin feeling very soft as well, even with the flakes and rough patches. Yes, it may be cheap, and that is why I thought there must be something better out there thats more expensive, but in this case, it is worth much more than what I paid. I keep going back to this product year after year. So if you suffer from dry cracked inflamed skin, give this a try. It may make winter much more bearable for you too. For those interested, the other two products that helped were Gold Bond Ultra Healing hand cream, and Vaseline Intensive Rescue lotions. I also tried Boots Perfect and Protect Hand Cream. All of these seemed to add some moisture to my skin, the Boots I used every few hours for a few weeks until the tube was gone but I didn't notice it doing anything beyond superficially, and didnt help my hands heal at all. Same with the Gold Bond. The Vaseline Intensive worked about as well as this St Ives.

Compared to What? Early Brain Overgrowth in Autism and the Perils of Population Norms
Biological Psychiatry
Date Published:
May 23, 2013
A new report questions the evidence for atypical early brain growth in ASD, suggesting reports of abnormal head circumference (HC) growth may be due to a systematic bias in common HC norms rather than dysregulated early brain growth in ASD. The authors encourage future studies to use comparison data from typically developing and clinical control samples and several growth norms in parallel to avoid bias.

I'm in Toronto, Ontario. I don't have any experience with young trees or shrubs. I received two very young lilac seedlings from my uncle this summer. There were annuals growing where I wanted to plant them, so didn't plant them at the time. And then I forgot about them :( So what do I do with the seedlings now? Should I bring them inside over winter and plant them in the spring? Risk planting them now? Or something else? We've got a shed I could put the pots in if they need the cold. For any solution suggested, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me if are there any additional special things I should be doing. |
Follow-Up Postings:
if you have a spot for them, plant them now. Fall is the BEST time to plant perennials. Water them in well, they'll be fine, as long as they're in good shape when you plant them. I'd prepare the hole, make it about twice as big as the pot the plants is in now. Enrich w/some peat moss or compost if avail. Add in some gravel if your soil is wet/slow to drain. Maybe a little slow-release fertilizer, go easy, you don't want to burn the roots. |

I have alot of trouble eating pork so when I tried this recipe I did not have high hopes. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! This recipe produces extremely tender, healthy pork chops that are overjoyed with flavor. I added a cup of rice, at my husbands request, but you could leave it out and put these over whole grain pasta, potatos, or even it solo with a slice of whole grain bread.

Hi Steve,
I've been an owner/operator carpet cleaner for over 15 years now and I really enjoy what I do. I make more money than I did working as a fast food manager and have much more freedom. But now I'm starting to look down the road.
So I was wondering - should I hire someone to run my business and just leave them alone? Or do I hire someone and work with them? Or should I just call it quits eventually, retire and not risk someone ruining what I started? (My friends all tell me to hire employees and grow the business, but I'm unsure about this idea.)
I am 37 years young but even so am starting to feel some wear and tear on my body. I just want to know what to do now so that I can still enjoy life if and when I retire.
-Pondering in Portland
First, Pondering, congratulations on at least asking questions like this. Many don't and live to regret it. It's much better to be reflecting on retirement questions at 37 than to start thinking about this stuff at 57!
Now above all else remember this essential principle: Never let anyone else define your vision of success. (Including your well-meaning friends!)
It sounds to me as if you want to stay in your comfort zone that you have created without employees. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with staying small as an owner-operator if you do it right! (So let me serve as a counter-balance to your friends' very sincere advice that "you have to get big!")
Here are a few thoughts on how to "do it right" while enjoying the (more or less) simpler life of being a solo owner-operator in the cleaning industry:
1. Charge super high prices: If you go to a fancy hair salon and the owner himself styles your hair, you expect to pay more. If you go to the best cancer specialist in the country and he personally takes your case, you expect to pay more. So why shouldn't the homeowner expect to pay more for your specialized services if you present yourself this way?
2. Start a personal investment program (PIP) now: Take this big money that you are going to charge and don't blow it. (Literally you should be adding enough value to your services that you can and should be charging double what your competitors do. I did!) Then you should be plowing 15 to 30% of your gross sales into your PIP.
How you diversify your PIP investments is up to you. If you wish, dollar cost average into a mix of low expenses stock market index funds. (Study after study has shown that this boring approach yields better results than trying to time the market.) I am a huge believer in rental real estate if you are willing to deal with the hassles of being a landlord. (Always fund your IRA's and any other tax-deferred programs too.)
Please don't ignore this very important need to consistently save and invest by sweeping funds off the top as they come in. Remember, if you are going to stay small, you won't be selling your business for a lot of money. And I assume you don't want to depend on Social Security for your golden years!
3. Take care of your body: Eat and sleep right, work out and buy good (labor saving) equipment. (Many owner-operators have dramatically extended their working years by investing in a powered rotary extraction cleaning head instead of continuing to stroke that wand.)
4. Learn how to say "no" to customers: One more time let me remind you to charge high enough prices so that you don't have to work killer hours. Spend time with your family, enjoy the journey. Sounds like a good life to me!
5. Get a helper(s): I know this hiring suggestion appears to be a contradiction since we've been talking about staying solo. But Pondering, as your body ages a helper will make all the difference in the world. And your increased production will more than pay for the extra cost of an assistant. One option is to keep two or three part time people available to help you while they keep their regular job. This takes the financial (and emotional) burden off of you of keeping just one helper employed full time.
For lots more tips on being successful long term as a solo owner-operator write me at email@example.com for my "Are You a Lone Wolf?" special report. Just put the words "ICS Lone Wolf" in the subject line and I'll e-mail you a copy free!
Best wishes and let me know how I can help.
P.S. If after reflecting on your future you decide that you have the desire, ability and most importantly, the "fire in the belly," to grow your business into a critical mass operation, then write me again and we'll talk! ("Critical mass" is what I call a company that will run with you or without you, which of course brings the owner that elusive and oh-so-very-valuable personal freedom!)
write Steve HERE with your questions, problems, struggles and challenges! Your help is on the way! A new "Ask Steve" will debut in the ICS eNews each Thursday. Register to receive it by clicking here.
NOTE: Steve and ICS want to consult for you! For a personal reply

By Intern Sarah in Music on Dec 15, 2011
When you break up with someone, how does it make you feel? What do you do to help yourself cope? In the music video for her song "Dresser Drawer," singer sami.the.great deals with this situation in a gentle, honest, and even somewhat funny way. Her voice is lovely, the concept for the video is creative, and the song? Catchy! (I especially love all the unusual sounds she uses in the synth-y percussive beat that runs throughout the track.)
But enough about me; check out the tune yourself. Check out the video below, or go to sami.the.great's channel on youtube to browse through everything else she's got on view there.

Articles on Orthodox Christian Charity
IOCC Expands Relief Efforts in Syria
Baltimore, MD (IOCC) Recently, His Beatitude Ignatius IV, Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, issued an appeal for humanitarian assistance to all Syrians who have been victims of violence in their country. "Syrians, in spite of their religious backgrounds, have the right to live in their country with pride and dignity. It is important for us as Orthodox Christians to help whoever extends their hand to ask for assistance regardless of their background."
In that spirit, the International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC), a member of the ACT Alliance, is working in partnership with the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East (GOPA), to respond to the urgent needs of thousands of internally displaced Syrian families. Katia, age 20, is one such person. Her days as a kindergarten teacher in Sabil, Syria, are a distant memory, since eight months ago, she and her family fled their home to escape fighting in the neighborhood, and have been displaced ever since. Left with no job and nothing to do, Katia turned to a local church for guidance, and is now helping assist other Syrians who were driven from their homes by the conflict that has engulfed Syria.
Stewardship Interview: "Giving is Part of our Spiritual Life"
The Antiochian Archdiocese Department of Stewardship's Chair Ronald Nicola taught high school social studies and served as a vice-principal for many years. A California native, he grew up attending St. Nicholas Church in San Francisco. He and his family have been members of St. John the Evangelist Orthodox Church in Orinda, California since its founding in 1978.
Ron has been active in many ministries of the Archdiocese, from SOYO to parish council to a twenty-year period of service on the Board of Trustees. Through these experiences, he developed an interest in Christian stewardship and the Scriptural teachings that guide the faithful in their offerings of time, talents, and treasure. Recently, the Department of Stewardship added two substantial resources to the web: The Fifty-Two Week Parish Giving Campaign, and the Parish Council Guidebook. The department is also responsible for the upcoming Parish Council Symposium in November.
Antiochian.org spoke with Ron about the ministry of the Antiochian Archdiocese's Department of Stewardship.
1. What is the Department of Stewardship—when was it founded, and why?
Metropolitan Philip established the Department of Stewardship in 1975 and he appointed the late Ernest Saykaly of Montreal, Quebec, as its first chairperson.
"Let us Run with Endurance:" Village 5K Trail Run is Oct. 6
"Oh your mark, get set, go!" Antiochian Village's annual 5K Trail Run will benefit the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania, and many runners have registered to participate in the event, slated for Saturday, October 6, 2012. Special Olympics PA provides year-round training and competition in 23 Olympic-type sports, to more than 20,000 children and adults with intellectual disabilities. One hundred percent of the AV5K Trail Run registration fee goes to Special Olympics.
Antiochian Village is an ideal setting for this event. At this time of year, spectacular fall color will welcome runners and walkers of all ages on a moderately challenging wooded course. Prizes and refreshments will be awarded at the finish line.
The run comes just two weeks before Special Olympics Awareness Day, which is sponsored by SOYO and aimed at raising funds to underwrite the Village's summer Special Olympics program.
Registration will be open the day of the Run at 9 a.m. in the Village Conference Center.
IOCC Aid Reaches Syria's Youngest Refugees
Baltimore, MD (IOCC) Hiba, 5, clings fearfully to her mother's dress round the clock, and wakes up screaming in the middle of the night. Ever since Sami, 4, and his brother Rana, 2, fled Homs with their mother, loud sounds elicit screams and send them diving for cover under tables and beds. The violence that has engulfed Syria is taking a heavy toll on its children. They make up more than half of the 260,000 Syrian refugees pouring into neighboring countries such as Jordan and Lebanon, according to United Nations estimates. Many arrive with nothing, not even the most basic belongings. International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) is attending to the immediate needs of these young refugees and their families with the distribution of emergency relief items such as health kits, infant supplies and bedding.
IOCC Jordan is working with local churches and relief partners to provide basic necessities like diapers, baby blankets and infant clothing to Syrian mothers seeking shelter at Za'atri refugee camp, where 60 percent of the 28,000 refugees are small children and infants.
Humanitarian Update from Syria
Samer Laham, Director of the Department of Ecumenical Relations and Development (DERD) for the Patriarchate of Antioch and all the East, has issued a late summer report detailing the Patriarchate's assistance to those who have impacted by the internal strife in Syria. The United Nations recently estimated that an estimated 2.5 million people in Syria are in need of humanitarian assistance, and 1.2 million people are internally displaced.
Mr. Laham writes, "DERD has been coordinating activities with Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC), local and regional municipalities, as well as local NGOs, to determine the areas and public buildings that are housing the most vulnerable displaced Syrians who are in need of immediate assistance. Working with local city governments and NGOs helps to ensure that beneficiaries receive aid with minimal overlapping in efforts. DERD also coordinates food distribution activities with World Food Programme and SARC, to identify the locations of people in most in need of food and to avoid duplication."
Since its inception in 1999, DERD has partnered with organizations from all over the world, which has strengthened its effectiveness and ability to meet the needs of the communities it serves. Download the full report.
New OCMC Videos Highlight African Ministry
The Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) recently uploaded a variety of videos to YouTube featuring the ongoing growth and progress of Orthodox churches in Africa.
Viewers can catch glimpses of African Orthodox Christians worshipping in liturgy, singing welcome greetings to visiting missionaries and clergy, dancing in community celebrations, and working on construction teams for church buildings.
Fifteen OCMC mission teams from May through December of this year will serve in Africa as well as other far flung locations such as Albania and Mongolia.
Patriarchate's Development Department Releases Report
Samer Laham, Director of the Department of Ecumenical Relations and Development (DERD) for the Patriarchate of Antioch and all the East, issued a July report outlining the extent of the Syrian humanitarian crisis due to regional unrest. An estimated 1.5 million people, according to the United Nations, have been directly impacted by the upheaval and DERD has responded with rent assistance, remedial classes, distribution of clothing and hygeine kits, and other humanitarian measures.
Explains Director Lahem, "We serve without any discrimination and this service is based on loving our neighbor as ourselves." Since its inception in 1999, DERD has partnered with organizations from all over the world, which has strengthened its effectiveness and ability to meet the needs of the communities it serves.

"It Was My Duty:" Interview with The Order of St. Ignatius Chair, Mary Winstanley-O'Connor
The Order of St. Ignatius Chair Mary Winstanley-O'Connor is a lifelong member of the Antiochian Archdiocese. A Boston attorney, Mary joined the Order in the early 1990's after visiting Antiochian Village, where she was deeply moved by listening to the campers pray and sing. She assumed the role of the Governing Council Chair in 2011, following in the footsteps of Daniel Abraham. Recently Antiochian.org asked Mary to reflect on her first year of leadership.
1. Mary, can you tell us how you became involved in the Order of St. Ignatius?
I have been a life-long member of St. Mary Orthodox Church of Cambridge, Massachusetts. I am an attorney with offices in Boston and have lived in the greater Boston area throughout my life. Like many in our Archdiocese, I was a member of Teen SOYO, a member of the Fellowship of St. John the Divine, Parish Council President and a Sunday School teacher.
IOCC: Humanitarian Need Grows For Syrian Families
August 2, 2012
Baltimore, MD (IOCC) — Syrians who received more than a million refugees fleeing from conflict in Iraq now face the same fate as more than one and a half million Syrians seek refuge from the spreading violence in their own country. International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) has redoubled its efforts to provide food and essential items – blankets, stoves and hygiene supplies – to the rapidly growing number of displaced and vulnerable Syrian families. IOCC aid is reaching areas in and around Homs, the epicenter of the uprising that began 16 months ago, and other regions of the country.
"There is a palpable sense of urgency and people are worried about the growing violence throughout the country," said Mark Ohanian, IOCC director of programs, who just returned from Damascus where he met with staff and relief partners. IOCC is working closely with the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and all The East and Syrian relief partner, Al Nada Association, in an effort to reach as many people as it can and to determine what the most immediate needs are for the growing number of displaced and vulnerable families.
"The situation remains unstable and we know that there are at least a million and a half people within the country who are in need of essential food and other assistance including those who have been displaced and others who have been trapped in their homes. Despite the humanitarian efforts underway, hundreds of thousands of people require immediate food assistance in order to survive."
An Appeal from the Primate of the Antiochian Orthodox Church
A countless number of Christians and Muslims are victims of the violence; the hospitals are full with injuries and the pain is endless. Syrians, in spite of their religious backgrounds, have the right to live in their country with pride and dignity. During the past fifteen months, we have lost many people and a large number of Syrians were forced to evacuate from their homes. Christians had to flee their towns, cities and everything they own, and our beloved priests had to leave their churches.
We call all Syrians, in the name of God, to accept each other and live as one nation in our beloved Syria, the cradle of prophets and religions. We urge the United Nations and all Arab organizations to understand and respect our beloved country and to work together in order to achieve peace and stability in Syria.
Ignatius IV
Patriarch of Antioch and All the East

What could this be? Could it be related in any way?

Probably more to do with something you've eaten i'd guess. Any chicken, rare meat, eggs or root veg/potatoes in the last 3 days?
Well the answer is: It could be anything and it could be related.
But I don´t see a strong connection right now. The symptoms you describe are not very specific and could originate in a number of causes, like mitchymo already mentioned food that was bad or contaminated with something.
Any other symptoms? Did you actually have to vomit? When and what did you eat last time? Are you generally highly concerned about infections with STDs (because what you have right now could als be stress-induced)?
You don´t have a soul. You are a soul. What you have is a body.
Well, I had a piece of chicken the other day. And before it got really bad I had 2 bowls of cereal.
As for my symptoms, just feeling nauseous, a fever, and possibly the chills. I took some medicine to help and I'm feeling a little better now.
I'm sure I'm just being paranoid. I didn't really feel too bad until the thought came into my head. After that I just got worse.
was your partner HIV positive? if not there is probably nothing to worry about... could be just the flu... either way if you're really worried
go to the doctor...
I'm pretty sure he is not. He told me he isn't and he is really shy around people. I have known him for a while now and he hardly every gets sick.
Can I get it if he doesn't have it? Kinda a dumb question...
You cannot get it from him if he does not have it. In any event, hiv requires a longer period to incubate, so I think there is no chance this is hiv.
Yep, not to mention that HIV does NOT have specific symptoms.
Some people experience symptoms and some other people don't.
Shy and reclusive people are dangerous. They always lie. I know because I'm one of them.
Some people experience flu like symptoms a week or so after exposure, but i have never see nausia as symptom and 3 days is too soon. Since you are so scared, it my be psychosomatic.

We got 5 inches of snow this weekend where I live on the lovely prairies of Western Canada. Our weird climate will mean it will all most likely be gone by this afternoon.
It's weather like that which got me some weird looks when I started poking around Home Depot the first March we moved here asking about gardening supplies. In this neck of the woods, you don't put anything in the ground until the May Long Weekend – even then, you should probably hold off until June.
Hopefully your gardening season is already starting up, and while I sit here and wait to get dirty with the boys, a list of 10 tips to help your kids learn a love for gardening.

You guys, I am officially, 100% not worried about the future at all. Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Phoenix, Arizona, and met a GRIP of #sciencebabies who basically have the whole overpopulation, disease, natural disaster thing under control. Seriously. I am basically poolside writing this entire post in a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses because I am so relaxed now.
So, the way ISEF works is that 1,600 pre-college kids from 60 countries descend upon the Phoenix Convention Center floor and it's row upon row of roped off booths where each contestant presents their project. Apparently, it's untoward to refer to the shindig as a "science fair" what with more than $3 million in grants and awards at stake, but basically everyone's competing for the Big Prize, a.k.a. the $75,000 Gordon E. Moore Award. The competition is fierce since these dudes have already SMOKED school contests, regional contests and state contests.
The cool thing about the day I visited is that it was the day after the official judgement (postscript: these are the winners) so the vibe was a little more chill. No one yet knew who had won but everyone had presented and tap-danced their faces off the day prior, so they got to unclench and hang out a bit. I even saw a little mild-grade flirting which was cute, reassuring and terrifying when you consider what that means for the following generation of SUPERGENIUSES. Hopefully, they'll be kind rulers.

DORCHESTER – May 23, 2012 – The Patrick-Murray Administration's tour of Massachusetts businesses stopped at Greenhills Irish Bakery yesterday in Dorchester, with State Permit Ombudsman Victoria Maguire stopping by to talk to Cindy Quinn, Co-Owner of Greenhills Irish Bakery.
The statewide tour celebrates National Small Business Week, which runs May 20-26. The stops at local business by state officials highlight the importance of small businesses in the Massachusetts economy and provide another opportunity for business owners to discuss the economic climate in the Commonwealth. Small businesses represent approximately 85 percent of the state's total businesses and employ more than half of the total workforce in the state.
"Greenhills Irish Bakery is one of thousands of small businesses in Massachusetts that not only provide quality products and services, but is helping the state recover from the recession faster and stronger than the rest of the nation" said Maguire. "During National Small Business Week, we're proud to highlight the business people who are generating economic growth and continue to be thankful for their efforts."
Greenhills is a full-service bakery specializing in traditional and creative baked goods for families and businesses throughout the Boston and Dorchester area. The Bakery was featured on Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" for their breakfast sandwich in Feb 2012. For more information, visit http://www.greenhillsirishbakery.com/.
"Greenhills Bakery is a great example of a small business that has been flourishing since its establishment," said Representative Martin Walsh. "They are a great employer and continually give back to the neighborhood."
The Patrick-Murray Administration continues to work on improving the economic environment in Massachusetts through the state's economic development plan, "Choosing to Compete in the 21st Century", which provides long-term strategies for continuing Massachusetts' momentum in job creation and economic development.
The state has launched a number of initiatives to support small businesses, including regulatory reform that will ensure state government is creating the conditions for small businesses to thrive, targeted support to our cities and towns that improve regional economies and small-business development, and continuing to nurture a robust and supportive environment for the state's innovation and entrepreneurial economies.

NMEA 0183 vs NMEA 2000

Barry's information is mostly correct. NMEA 0183 was defined in 1983 (wow.) It operates at 4800 baud, eight bits, one stop bit, no parity. Except for high speed NMEA which is used only for AIS connections.
A NMEA Talker can power 4 NMEA listeners. A NMEA listener can only listen to one talker.
The big problem with 0183 is that people like Raymarine decided to violate the standard that says anything a listener hears needs to be repeated on the talker side of the instrument. They did this so they could sell expensive and unnecessary "conversion" boxes.
As pointed out above NMEA 2000 is the new standard. Usually manufacturers don't repeat NMEA 2000 data onto NMEA 0183 outputs. What does this mean. Well, lets say you purchase a NMEA 2000 wind instrument but have a NMEA 0183 multi-function display. Guess what, the NMEA 2000 wind data will not show up on the NMEA 0183 multi-function display. They do, however, usually repeat NMEA 0183 data on the NMEA 2000 bus. So if you buy a NMEA 0183 wind instrument and a NMEA 2000 multi-function display the wind data might show up on the the multi-function display. Confused yet?
Simple rule. If you have old instruments that communicate on NMEA 0183 you probably want to get new instruments that will talk NMEA 0183. If you are getting new instruments then go with NMEA 2000.
BTW most chart plotters talk both, but again the rub is what the rest of your instruments will display. The good news is that the tech support people at Garmin etc. are pretty good about telling you what will happen if you call them up and say "I have these specific instruments wired together like this."
Last comment to make it even more confusing: Back in the dark ages (yesterday) all of the manufacturers had proprietary communication protocols - Raymarine had SeaTalk, SeaTalk2, HSI, and a couple of others. None of these talk to NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 without a converter box.
You may start drinking heavily now.

I was given a some Atlantic Giant seeds by a freind two weeks ago and decided to plant a couple on a whim. I have zero experience with giant pumpkins, but asume it's really too late in the season to be planting from seed. They've germinated, and are healthy looking seedlings right now on June 2. Is there any hope that they'll produce fruit of size this season in Zone 5? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you give the plants protection in the Fall from frost. You should still be able to produce a nice sized pumpkin. It is good experience for next year also. |

Back at work, Patriots defenseprepares to face rookie LuckBy HOWARD ULMAN
The Associated Press | November 15,2012AP FILE PHOTO
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck celebrates as he leaves the field following a victory over the Miami Dolphins in Indianapolis.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Steve Gregory has seen enough of Andrew Luck from afar to realize the challenge the quarterback presents.
Poise. Strong arm. Ability to run and throw on the move. A rare knack for reading pro defenses in his rookie season. You name it.
Now Gregory and his teammates in the New England Patriots secondary must try to stop all that. The starting safety knows that Sundays game against the resurgent Indianapolis Colts will be a test for one of the NFLs worst pass defenses.
Well have to be on top of our game in order to contain the things that he does, Gregory said Wednesday. You could tell the guys a leader. Hes taken on the job and hes been a true professional about it, so hes definitely doing a great job over there.
And hes improving as the season goes on.
In his last game, Luck completed a season-best 69.2 percent of his passes. In the one before that, he threw for a season-high 433 yards.
The Colts have won their last four games after winning just two all last season and Luck has three of his top four completion percentages in that stretch.
Hes gotten better each week, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. He does a real good job of avoiding the rush but also keeping his eyes downfield and not just pulling the ball down and trying to run or kind of panicking in the pocket.
He has a lot of poise.
Lucks ability to buy time by scrambling away from pass rushers puts a greater burden on defensive backs to stay with their receivers, but the Patriots have allowed the fourth-most yards passing in the NFL and have been vulnerable to long completions. Theyre coming off a 37-31 win over the Buffalo Bills in which Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 337 yards despite being sacked three times.
The Bills had a chance to win, but Fitzpatrick threw an interception into the end zone with 23 seconds left when rookie wide receiver T.J. Graham ran the wrong route.
Just like every week, Gregory said, you want to get pressure on the quarterback.
The two Patriots who have done the best job of that are defensive ends Chandler Jones, with six sacks, and Rob Ninkovich, with five. Defensive tackle Vince Wilfork sometimes occupies two blockers, giving the ends more space to operate.
Their front four is incredibly stout. Wilfork is one of the best nose tackles-interior guys in the league, Luck said. They have very good edge rushers on the sides. They do get to the quarterback and even if its not a sack, they sort of harass, force a quarterback out of the pocket. So, thatll be a focus all week.
If Luck has plenty of time to throw, the onus will be on the linebackers and defensive backs to keep him from completing passes.
You want to disguise your coverages, Gregory said. That doesnt change really too much with who youre playing. Thats pretty much a staple of what you want to do defensively.
The Patriots will throw a wild card into the mix with newly acquired cornerback Aqib Talib. He completed his suspension when the Patriots played the Bills after he was traded from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had to sit out four games without pay for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances. He said when he was suspended that he took an Adderall pill without a prescription around the beginning of training camp.
Talib did not talk with reporters after practice, Hes expected to do that on Thursday. Teammates responded briefly to questions about the former first-round draft choice.
Obviously, hes learning, Ninkovich said. Hes hitting the ground running. Were just here to help him out and help his transition. The great thing about him is hes a great athlete.
The Patriots will have their own rookie, like Luck, trying to keep building on his transition to the pros.
The best thing is having great people around you, said safety Tavon Wilson, a second-round draft choice from Illinois. The older guys here have been great, instrumental in my development. So he probably has those older guys there, like Reggie Wayne, bringing him along.
He doesnt play like a rookie. He doesnt make too many mistakes. When he does make those mistakes, we have to make him pay for them.

Transparency: Open Government Operations
Posted by
on June 08, 2009 at 05:13 PM EST
How do agencies make decisions about health care reform, economic recovery, and clean energy? Who are the decision-makers? With whom do they meet and from whom do they take advice? How do they work? Openness of government operations is crucial to ensuring accountability and effectiveness.
As the Obama Administration contemplates new approaches to making government more open, we want to hear from you. What do you – the non-profit fighting in the public interest, the company creating jobs for Americans, the journalist engaged in newsgathering, the teacher of civics, the mother and interested citizen – need to know about the way government works in order to feel more knowledgeable, to be empowered to participate, and to hold government accountable?
Many promising ideas emerged in the Open Government Brainstorm and the online dialogue with government employees. They included suggestions such as requiring every agency to publish a directory of employees, webcasting all Federal Advisory Committee Act meetings, using innovative, new technology to create more transparent, effective, and efficient procurement strategies, and developing agency-specific "Web 2.0" communications strategies. You can find a full list of ideas proposed in the Transparency Wrap-up posted last week.
Your ideas raise several important questions, on which we invite your thoughts and comments:
- How do we weigh the value of transparent operations against the costs required to report accurately and comprehensively on the day-to-day workings of government?
- ow do we balance the demands of open government with the need to create spaces where advisors, experts, and stakeholders can speak candidly without fearing short-term political ramifications?
- How do we provide citizens with meaningful insights about how their government works rather than deluging everyone in overwhelming detail?
Tell us the three most important pieces of information you think every agency should be required to disclose about its operations. While you are at it, tell us how the private sector and government can best "mash up" such information (e.g. mapping campaign contributions against meeting schedules) to transform raw data into knowledge. As always, go to the OSTP blog to say your piece.

Now, 'circuit board' isn't the first phrase that comes to mind when we think 'simple', but it's a Caribbean holiday compared to the complex arrangement of sensors, dissolving material and tangled wiring you'd have to assemble in LBP1 just to get a door to open when you walk up to it.
Using these one-off wonders you can now easily set enemies to detect players, programme dialogue and much more besides with a few simple button presses. You'll never want to go back.
Meanwhile, sequencers make scripting events, cut-scenes and dispatching enemies effortless.
Other welcome tweaks include the ability to hide objects and interact with what's behind them, or easily display which objects are glued together for fewer welding-related headaches.
Media Molecule manages to present this stuff in a much more accessible way - and, in doing so, encourages you to experiment. This approach, combined with your new-found ability to throw together creations simply not possible in the original and genuinely intelligent AI characters - is a real game changer.
That's without even mentioning the fun-to-use Sackboy additions that you don't have to program to have a good time with, such as the grappling hook and Grabinator.
We admit, we said this about the original, but the possibilities LittleBigPlanet 2 offers really are astounding. It's a better thought-out, fun and more dynamic package than the original game.
LBP1 virtuosos will find plenty here to justify a purchase, if they can tear themselves away from the now-established classic they've invested such time in.
But for those who harboured a wealth of affection - if not expertise - for Media Molecule's first game, LittleBigPlanet 2 truly offers a whole new world of opportunity.
A smarter, more fun and accessible LittleBigPlanet that does everything better.
- Smarter, imaginative Story mode
- More accessible Create tools
- 2.5 million user-levels out of the box
- Won't woo those who ignored original

Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week: Prabal Gurung
Prabal Gurung Wanted to Make a Statement About Something Other Than "Vulgar Dresses" for Spring 2010
>> Prabal Gurung says his Spring 2011 collection was inspired by Tilda Swinton's role in I Am Love and dedicated to "the intelligent woman. The brain is her most important feature." He continued: "We've had a decade of tight skirts and vulgar dresses, and I wanted to make a statement about something different." Hence the collection's predominant silhouette: a hemline five inches below the knee.
Gurung prides himself on his technicality, talking backstage about a skirt with side slits that took him a week to perfect and a sheath dress spliced with neoprene: "This is a pattern-maker's nightmare. When you see the pattern all laid out it looks like a maze." A few cocktail dresses with seam tape fringe came off a bit heavy, but the brightly colored ensembles — Frida Gustavsson's opening dress, Irina Kulikova's sky blue blouse and saffron yellow pencil skirt — were striking, and Heidi Mount's blue mesh paneled gown deserves a major red carpet moment. The show also marked Gurung's first shoe collaboration with Nicholas Kirkwood, who said after the show: "I'm just happy no one tripped!"
