How long does it take for denim to decompose? I've made a couple of "grow pouches" out of the legs of an old pair of jeans...Just wondering about how long they will last with all the watering of the plants inside? |

rubyredcornbread, long ago and far away I was a bachelor, living on my own and working at a job that was intensely 'field oriented'. Consequently it was tough on clothes and footwear....and ME!. The upside was thar I had a 2-Hr lunch break. Very often I came home covered in soot and/or mud; I'd hit the shower fully clothed and by the time I was ready to go back to work, my working clothes were dry and ready to wear. This would happen daily unless it rained. Dryers were not in my past. The shirts were 'terylene' and the jeans were denim "Wrangler". I went through a shirt in about a month but a "Wrangler" would last a full year at least. It would rip at the knees; I'd then make short pants out of them and later pass them on to my younger brother. My experience of denim is that it is indestructible! Check out the link. dungaree |

They will not last one season |
100% cotton will rot almost as fast as any other compost in a planting situation where it's kept moist and exposed to organic soil. I wouldn't want synthetic fibers in my garden dirt, so...the answer is denim will last one season or less. |
I believe the material in smart pots is polypropylene, a very tough synthetic fiber that is inert like plastic but breathes like fabric. It doesn't interact with your soil mix or the chemicals you add to it. Denim may leach dyes as well as breaking down more rapidly. I have used smart pots for three seasons for growing vegetables and plan to use them again this year. They are actually more durable than the plastic tubs used in self watering containers, which crack after a season or two. |

Over a Cup: A casserole tailored for Christmas
Friday, December 24, 2010
'Chantilly Cake'
To make "Chantilly Cake," you'll need:
• Angel Food Cake that you bake or purchase
• 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 cup small marshmallows
• 1 package frozen strawberries, thawed and drained
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 1 cup coconut, toasted
Bake the cake. When cooled, cut in half to form two layers. Place the cream in a mixing bowl. Beat until the cream is of spreading consistency. Then fold in pineapple, marshmallows, strawberries, and vanilla. Frost the cake and garnish the sides and top with toasted coconut. Chill for several hours before serving.
On Christmas morning, everybody wants to open gifts.
Nobody probably wants to cook breakfast.
That's why overnight breakfast casseroles are so great. You just mix up the casserole the night before, let it set in the refrigerator overnight and put it in the oven the next morning.
When the family is ready for breakfast, put out juice or fruit, and breakfast is ready.
I think that I've cooked up most of the overnight casserole recipes I have in my file.
This one is a little different because it calls for cream of mushroom soup. The ingredients for "Overnight Egg Casserole" are: 8 slices of bread, cubed; 3/4 pound cheddar cheese, shredded; 1 1/2 pounds ground sausage; 4 eggs, beaten; 2-1/2 cups milk; and 1 can cream of mushroom soup.
Crumble and brown the sausage.
While it browns, cube the bread and place it in the bottom of a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
When the sausage is browned, drain off any fat. Then place the crumbles over the bread and cheese. Beat the eggs, milk and soup. Pour this over the sausage mixture.
Refrigerate overnight, and the next morning, bake the casserole in a 350-degree oven for about 50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. It makes 6 to 8 servings.
This next recipe is easy, takes few ingredients, and makes a festive-looking dessert.
To make "Chantilly Cake," you'll need an Angel Food Cake. You can either bake the cake or buy one already made. You'll also need: 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained), 1 cup small marshmallows, 1 package frozen strawberries (thawed and drained), 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 2 cups whipping cream, and 1 cup coconut (toasted).
Bake the cake. Then cut it in half to form two layers. (I think a rectangular-shaped cake works best.)
Place the cream in a mixing bowl and beat until it is of spreading consistency. Then fold in the pineapple, marshmallows, strawberries, and vanilla into the whipped cream. (Make sure you drain the pineapple and strawberries well.)
Then frost the cake and garnish the sides and top of the cake with toasted coconut. Chill several hours before serving.
Whatever you serve, I hope your Christmas is wonderful.
Don't forget to send your recipes to me at PO Box 415, or call me at 824-8809.

Daddy sure was excited about spanking his naughty boy.
Terrific Daddy/boy pair!
The boy was definitely taught a lesson! Anytime a boy has to be spanked, he has to be spanked <b>HARD</b>! Daddy gave him exactly what he needed: A nice blistering while he bawled and begged.
yes that was very HOT, would love to be in either one of there places right now my uncle did that to me all of the time
So hot especially the hard on in the beginning, Hope he pounded him after the spanking.
That's how a spanking produces results. immediately.
Daddy's dick is nice and hard. I want to know what happened after the spanking was over?
yes it was good, i would love to be in there place right now
I think that we all know what he got between his cheeks afterwards! Shame about the distance, would love to meet "daddy"
WOW! Great spanking, you mean business and I hope your boy learned his lesson. Daddy also has a nice piece of meat, I hope your boy took care of you after his spanking. Hope to see more from you. Thank you.

I have one of the tgi truck gun ak74 and just recently bought a ultimak and gen 2 micro dot from Primary Arms. Paid under 160 for the bundle and it arrived in 2 days!
Ultimak was hard to install until i read the directions, then it was very easy
Took it out to the range and zeroed it at fifty yards. All it took was 3 small adjustments and it was zeroed. I was able to but 5 out of 5 in a quarter sized red sticky target at 25 yards. At fifty it was about the size an egg.
I was very impressed how this sight shrunk my group! I was already pretty happy with the accuracy but am now really warm and fuzzy.
The low profile of the ultimak and red dot almost allowed for co witness with the iron sites, until i realized that by raising the front post and back leaf, i could make it work great.
Here are some pics of the gun. Sorry about the color of the furniture. The can lid looked like desert tan, but came out marshmellow white! Stock is a forty dollar tapco that i like just fine. Mags are bulgarian as is the kit used to make the gun.
All in all i highly recommend this set up for anyone that wants to improve the eaze of accuraccy out of their ak.

Drilling permit dip concerns officials
Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Moffat County saw a decrease in drilling permit applications filed by oil and natural gas companies in 2009.
Some area officials say new regulations designed to better protect wildlife and the environment from potential harm caused by drilling for oil and gas are to blame, while others point to a downward economy or a drop in natural gas prices.
The regulations, which took effect in spring 2009, were fostered by citizen concerns for drilling spills, releases, seeps, well contamination, storm water run-offs, odors and wildlife impacts, according to the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission.
Although a dropping economy and fluxing natural gas prices have played a factor, Moffat County Natural Resources Director Jeff Comstock said the new regulations are to blame.
David Neslin, director of the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission, said decreased drilling permits had little to do with the new legislation, however.
Neslin points instead to a 50- to 70-percent drop in natural gas prices.
Natural gas sold for about $9 per thousand cubic foot in 2008 and dropped to about $3 per thousand cubic foot in 2009, he said.
Because of the high prices, 2008 saw a record high 8,027 drilling permits issued statewide, which dropped to 5,159 permits in 2009. Moffat County had 51 permits issued in 2009.
Comstock said this is because of energy resource companies wanting to submit their permits before the new regulations occurred.
In March 2009, Moffat County received 22 applications for drilling permits, accounting for 43 percent of all requests that year, and March and April combined accounted for 64 percent of all applications in the year.
The new rules implemented by Colorado House Bills 07-1298 and 07-1341 took effect in April on private land and July on federal land of 2009.
Since October, five drilling permit applications have been granted for the county while eight are pending approval for 2010. Six location assessments for additional drilling pads are also pending.
The low numbers in permits are concerning to state Rep. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs, who said the regulations "are the straw that broke the camel's back."
"Talking with the oil and gas companies, I'm finding out (the drilling regulations) are a huge deterrent to the industry here in the state," he said. "It's cheaper for them to go to another state. Even though the tax base may be higher, over a period of time they can operate cheaper."
The current permit request activity in Moffat County isn't stirring Neslin's stance, however.
"That wouldn't strike me as significantly out of range with what Moffat's experiences have been over the last five or six years," he said. "So far in 2010, application levels are back to where they were in 2007."
Although drilling requests are down about 35 percent from 2008 in Colorado, Neslin said "we fared better than most of our neighbors."
The 5,159 permits issued in 2009 are about 2,000 more permits more than Kansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico and about 4,000 more than Utah or Montana.
Baumgardner said the processing time on applications to drill also may be affecting the industry in Colorado.
"It takes about two to three days in other states to have a permit but here in Colorado it takes 30, 60 or 90 days to get a permit approved," Baumgardner said. "It's just not business friendly to oil and gas here in the state."
David Ludlam, executive director of the West Slope Colorado Oil and Gas Association, said the regulations are making the gas industry in Colorado unstable.
"Like an earthquake, the rule-making created enough instability to keep companies off-balance," he said in a statement. "Are companies pulling out? No. I'd say they're rebuilding for the long term and hoping against regulatory aftershocks that might create more instability."
The potential drop in revenue also could hurt the county financially.
Moffat County projected a $110 million drop in proposed county assessed value for 2010 and 60 percent of that could be attributed to potential oil and gas price drops, Moffat County Assessor Suzanne Brinks said.
"Price and regulatory factors can't be separated and measured against each other," Ludlam said. "High prices are better for our business, but no investor in their right mind wants to build a drilling program around a regulatory fault zone, prone to quakes and instability."
Moffat County Commissioner Tom Mathers said the problem comes from a combination of things but that Gov. Bill Ritter isn't helping the situation.
"Gov. Ritter's rules and regulations run (oil and gas) right out of the county," Mathers said. "The first time I met Ritter ... I told him 'Please don't protect us into starvation' ... and that is exactly what he has done."

it will be interesting to see if craig chooses oil wells over their history of hunting.
leroymcgee 4 years, 11 months ago
Wow. Another completely one-sided article on the oil and gas industry from our local fishwrap. This old yarn about the state's oil and gas regulations driving business out of the state has been proven false again and again in many of our state's more objective newspapers (and more respected...funny how that works). Even the Grand Junction Sentinel took the time to seek out the facts (more wells permitted in Colorado than ANY of its neighboring states; almost twice as many wells drilled in Colorado than Wyoming--a state unencumbered by Colorado's "dreaded" state oil and gas regulations).
The Craig Daily Press has a responsibility to print the news. And yes, obvious hyperbole and misstatements like those of Mr. Baumgartner and Mr. Mathers in this article are certainly newsworthy. But by simply printing the quotes, and not seeking out the real facts to either prove or disprove these statements, the Daily Press fails to provide journalism, while simply providing propaganda instead.
NorthwestNative 4 years, 11 months ago
Very disappointing that Mr Smith did NOT take the time to talk with the other side. We have terrific resources in this community including a couple of moderate, science-based environmental organizations, so there is really NO excuse for such unbalanced pseudo-news. Furthermore, COGCC stats. dispute the claims made by Mr. Comstock and Rep. Baumgardner. Makes me wonder how much O&G funding the two get and if O&G is paying the press these days or have you all just forgotten everything you know about responsible, balanced, ethical news coverage? Time to go back to Journalism 101 Or at very least follow the money! I'm pretty Cynical that the wealthiest industry in the history of humanity can't "afford" to do business in Colorado. The minerals aren't going away. Our community should get fair market value and we expect all industries to do business in such a way as to leave our land, air, wildlife and communities and other industries healthy!

I beg to differ with the above comments. i've lived in Moffat County for over a quarter century, and have made my living working in Mineral extraction, primarily Oil & Gas exploration.
First, drilling results in Moffat County have never come close to what has happened in Garfield & Rio Blanco Counties, particularly the Parachute/Piceance area. Why? the product (oil & gas) is not as prolific in Moffat as it has been discovered down there. Sure there is some product here, but not nearly in the quantity and presence as has been discovered there. Moffat's oil & gas deposits are far more scattered, and appear in small areas, sometimes known as 'domes'.
Second, i totally agree with Mr Smith's article that the new Regulations that permeate both CO Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) and CO Dept of Public health & Environment (CDPHE) are very instrumental in driving Oil & Gas Operators out of this state.
We don't have that many Operators working locally here now, and I personally know of three of those, in the local Craig area (Eastern Moffat & Western Routt Counties) who have recently SOLD OUT and are selling other fields in CO, as they are busily moving their operations out of the state. Two of these kept wells just across the state line in WY, but have simply had enough of Colorado's latest environmental onslaught, led by now Lame-Duck Ritter.
I do not understand the new COGCC Director's comments, he is mistaken, I have spoken directly with O&G people who have and are selling their Colorado interests, because of over zealous regulators, who are now armed with an unending plethora of rules & regulations.
I personally know of two local O&G service businesses who, if the new regulations are imposed on them as has been threatened, will be out of business by the end of 2010 or shortly after.
With that, they will take several well paid local jobs and $2-3M annually out of the local economy. This is revenue that comes from Operators who are located outside of this area, who pay for services to these local firms, who then hire locals, and buy local products & services, and pay many local taxes. These dollars then revolve thru the local economy until dissipated.
Yet, the powers that be in Denver have decided that "Denver Knows Best" !!!! and they draw up regulations that no one in their right minds can live with. I deal with it personally all the time. No one wants to wreck the local ecology, or drive away the deer & elk herds, etc. But without well paying jobs, the rest of us are left to feed from each other. And that is indeed a slippery downhill slope !!
Wake up, Moffat County ! Tom Mathers said it right.
Ray Cartwright 4 years, 10 months ago
Oh quit your worrying with the rise in gas prices and the onset of tourist season and more rises in gas the drilling will pick up again. The greedy oil companies ploy is working just like they figured it would. When the american public get PO'd enough and the government starts to ask questions we will just stop our exploration of future oil and gas until the supply and demand drives the prices up and it once again becomes extremely profitable to drill and we can gouge Joe the plumber once again.

Kiatnakin Bank selects BWise for Operational Risk Management
Kiatnakin Bank selects BWise for Operational Risk Management
Kiatnakin (formerly known as Kiatnakin Finance and Securities Company Limited) was found in 1971. Later on in 2005, Kiatnakin began to officially operate as a commercial bank under the name "Kiatnakin Bank Public Company Limited". Total assets are Baht 223,865 million. Currently the Bank has 80 branches countrywide (including Headquarter in Bangkok). In order to offer the risk department a comprehensive solution to efficiently track, measure and manage its key operational risks, Kiatnakin investigated the full landscape of available solutions. After a thorough analysis, BWise GRC platform, in combination with the implementation services of both BWise and its local partner Yip In Tsoi emerged as the best solution for Kiatnakin Bank.
Mr.Wanakan Kanjanasoon VP at Kiatnakin says: "At Kiatnakin Bank we wanted to improve the tools in use by the Risk function in the bank and wanted to support the business units by offering easy to use software tools for their registration, reporting and follow up actions on operational losses, risk assessments, control testing, KRI reporting and alerting and risk scenario distribution. Both the rich functionality and reporting capabilities of BWise complied with our requirements. The best practice implementation approach of BWise and Yip In Tsoi may help us gain more confidence in successful deployment of the solution."
Mr. Supak Lailert Senior Executive Vice President Professional Services Yip In Tsoi says: "We are proud to have been rewarded the contract of Kiatnakin Bank. Currently we see a lot of interest from banks in Thailand to improve their risk control and reporting capabilities to regulators. Utilizing our strategic partnership with BWise, we now can offer customers in Thailand sophisticated, risk management software, recognized by independent analysts. The Yip In Tsoi GRC competence center has been fully trained to implement and service BWise's Governance, Risk management and Compliance platform in the region. We expect more projects to follow."
Rob van Straten, Senior Vice President of Sales EMEA and APAC at BWise says: "Kiatnakin Bank is an important customer for BWise and our strategic partner Yip In Tsoi. We appreciate the bank's professional view on operational risk management and are excited to present their project as a cornerstone reference to the Thailand banking sector. We have been at their offices quite a few times to ensure the project success and to further educate our partner Yip In Tsoi in deploying professional GRC services. We are keen on developing our presence in the financial and industrial sector in Thailand to help public and private companies minimize risk, maximize efficiency and increase transparency with a suite of governance, risk management and compliance solutions."

The Federal Information Security Management Act has become the whipping
boy for security vendors, chief information security officers and
legislators, but we should not be too eager to abandon it, says a
leading security researcher at the National Institute of Standards and
"We tend to want to make 'compliance' a bad word today," said NIST
senior computer scientist Ron Ross. But regulatory compliance does not
have to be a static checklist, and it is part of effective risk
management, he said.
If the regulations are fundamentally sound and adaptable, they can
evolve to address a rapidly changing security environment, and that is
what is happening with FISMA, he said. "The fundamental reforms already
are ongoing, coming from grass-roots activities," not from policy or
legislative changes, Ross said.
As the head of NIST's FISMA implementation program, Ross, who spoke
recently about changes in cybersecurity requirements at a forum hosted
by InformationWeek, is hardly a disinterested observer. Since the
passage of FISMA in 2002, a great deal of the resources of NIST's
Computer Security Division have gone to creating standards,
recommendations and guidelines on how to achieve compliance. That body
of work has been praised as one of the accomplishments of FISMA while at
the same time condemned as overly comprehensive and prescriptive.

I don't care about the crazies, b/c they will always be there, but I have two questions from all of those who know more than me-which will be a lot. I don't own any Sigs and I've heard their QC has been dropping, so here are my two questions:
1) How long do you all think the gun craze can go on? I am not a very price sensitive shooter, but I just sold my HK45 b/c I DON'T shoot it (I think that's what these things are for) so I could get a HKP30 that I WILL shoot all the time-I currently have a P30L.
2) If the QC is down now, how will it be any better when they expand the factories even more? I've seen this happen with Ruger (I don't own any of those either) and I'm not aware of any QC issues, b/c most people here, from what I've read, just don't shoot Ruger as a primary, correct?? What am I missing?

NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via solid-state reaction. The effects of the reaction parameters, namely dispersant content, calcination temperature and annealing time on particle size and morphology were investigated. Magnetic properties of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were tested. The formation mechanism of nanoparticles by solid-state reaction was also discussed. The results indicated that the synthesized nickel ferrite particles were of nanometer size with different morphologies by slight variation of the reaction conditions. The solid-state reaction technique is a simple, convenient, inexpensive and effective preparation method of NiFe2O4 in high yield.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the IRB? The IRB is the Institutional Review Board, the committee that reviews all research conducted at La Salle University. It is composed of representatives from the faculty, administration, and community. Universities are required to have such a committee to qualify for federal grant money. Research may not be funded, or in some cases, published, if the investigator cannot show proof of IRB review.
2. Who is on the IRB? Members of the IRB include: Chair Diana Montague, PhD, Psychology; Phyllis Betz, PhD, English; Katie Neary Dunleavy, PhD, Communication; Kevin Grauke, PhD, English; Diane Wieland, PhD, Nursing; Marsha Richardson, PsyD, Community Representative
3. When does the IRB meet? The dates of the IRB's meetings and proposal deadlines are listed on the schedule page. Research proposals requiring full review are discussed at the meetings. Proposals that are eligible for exemption or expedited review may be reviewed and approved by the Chair on a rolling basis.
4. What do I need to do to submit a research proposal for review? To have a research proposal reviewed by the IRB, click on instructions and follow the procedures described on the page, or click here for a printable set of directions.
5. If my proposal is exempt or only requires expedited review, what do I need to send in? You will need to submit the same documents that you would for a regular full review. The Chair of the IRB needs to fully understand what you plan to do before he or she can determine whether the proposal is exempt or qualifies for expedited review. However, only one copy of the proposal is necessary.
6. Where can I get copies of the forms? There are links to Adobe Acrobat (PDF) and Microsoft Word forms from the instructions page.
7. How can I meet the federal requirements for training in research? Training for Protecting Human Research Participants (PHRP) can be found at https://phrp.nihtraining.com/users/login.php. Once training is completed, save and/or print the Certificate for yourself. Students involved with participants or in handling data should also complete the training and give a copy of the Certificate to the Principle Investigator. The IRB does not need a copy of the Certificate.

Penn State Hershey, JPL capture top honors for patient education tool12/17/14The International E-Learning Association has selected JPL and Penn State Hershey as the winner in the Blended Learning Category of the 2014 International E-Learning Awards–Academic Division for its breast cancer patient education tool.
Meyers receives $100,000 grant to advance breast cancer research11/20/14The PA Breast Cancer Coalition has presented $100,000 to Craig Meyers of Penn State College of Medicine. Meyers' research focuses on using the adeno-associated virus type 2, or AAV2, to kill breast cancer cells in certain types of tumors.
Appointments available for Breast Cancer Screening Mammo Night10/15/14Penn State Hershey Breast Center and Sen. Rob Teplitz will host a Breast Cancer Screening Mammo Night from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27.
The Medical Minute: Information is power for women at high risk of breast cancer10/2/14Now that medical professionals have identified gene mutations that predispose for breast cancer, patients can take proactive steps to reduce their risk. Many cases of breast cancer seem to have no genetic link, but people with a strong family history of cancer should consider getting tested to see if they carry a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.
Virus kills triple negative breast cancer cells, tumor cells in mice6/24/14A virus not known to cause disease kills triple-negative breast cancer cells and killed tumors grown from these cells in mice, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers. Understanding how the virus kills cancer may lead to new treatments for breast cancer.

Key factor in neonatal zinc deficiency may impact lactation and breast cancer4/29/14Zinc is one of the most important micronutrients in breast milk: Infants need large quantities of it during the first months of their lives to support growth, immune function, and cognitive development. Yet despite zinc's importance, pediatricians aren't trained to detect the symptoms of its deficiency. Now Shannon Kelleher and her colleagues may have found a way to recognize women who are at risk of having low milk zinc levels. The team has identified a mutation in a particular zinc transporter -- called ZnT2 -- that cause defects in the milk-secreting mammary epithelial cells.
Breast cancer cell subpopulation cooperation can spur tumor growth4/8/14Subpopulations of breast cancer cells sometimes cooperate to aid tumor growth, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers, who believe that understanding the relationship between cancer subpopulations could lead to new targets for cancer treatment.

The Medical Minute: How diet may influence breast health10/3/13Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States. We've all heard that a healthy diet reduces the risk for breast cancer; but what does a "healthy diet" mean and why is it important?
Grad researcher investigates the role of specialized bone marrow cells9/23/13When breast cancer spreads, the disease typically invades the long bones of the body, such as the femur and tibia. Inside these long bones, giant marrow cells known as megakaryocytes (or MKs) go into overdrive in the presence of cancer and may contribute to destructive bone loss and embolisms. "The breast cancer survival rate is about 90 percent when it's detected early but drops considerably lower once the cancer has spread to the bones," says graduate student Walter Jackson. There hasn't been enough research on how these specialized bone marrow cells affect the spread of cancer cells, in spite of the fact that many cancer patients die of thromboembolism, or blood clots, he notes. "It's important that we learn more about bone metastasis and how to slow it down."
Registration open for Allentown's Women's 5K Classic9/10/13 All women students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to join the Penn State Lehigh Valley team in the fight against breast cancer as they participate in the Women's 5K Classic beginning at 9 a.m. on Sat., Oct. 12, 2013, at Lehigh Parkway.

Louvre Museum
Louvre Museum
National museum and art gallery of France, in Paris. It was built as a royal residence, begun under Francis I in 1546 on the site of a 12th-century fortress. It ceased to be used as a palace when the court moved to Versailles in 1682, and plans were made in the 18th century to turn it into a public museum. In 1793 the revolutionary government opened the Grand Gallery; Napoleon built the northern wing; and two major western wings were completed and opened by Napoleon III. The completed Louvre included a vast complex of buildings forming two main quadrilaterals and enclosing two large courtyards. A controversial steel-and-glass pyramid entrance designed by I.M. Pei opened in 1989. The painting collection is one of the richest in the world, representing all periods of European art up to Impressionism; its collection of French 15th–19th-century paintings is unsurpassed.

So you want the secrets to being sexy every day of the week? When we talk about being sexy our minds start conjuring up everything the media has told us is sexy; the perfect beach body, the gorgeous red carpet dress, or the 6-pack abs. No matter who or what comes to mind, we've created a seemingly elusive air-brushed idea of sexiness defined by our outward appearances. But sexiness isn't just about what's on the outside. What if you already have everything you need to be sexy every day of the week and you don't need to get into super shape, buy a whole new wardrobe, or spend a ton of money? It's actually quite simple when you break it down.
Nurture Your Confidence.
Confidence is sexy, in men or women, and we all have that friend who seems to have been born with confidence and can do and say anything without fear. Most of us squeaked through adolescence and our teenage years with only a small spark remaining of the confidence we had as a small child, and we've been cultivating what remained ever since. Confidence and self-esteem need constant nurturing, but the nice thing is that if you are challenged in this area, you can fake it until you're all there. Ask your most confident friend if she feels that way all the time and you'll be surprised to know she's faking it sometimes – but you'd never know it. Don't make nurturing your confidence harder than it needs to be, spend time doing things you're good at, and when you're not feeling so confident, act like you are and no one's the wiser.
Maintain your Mystery.
When you see the classy and trashy pictures in Cosmo, the model or actress that looks like a street walker normally ends up on the trashy side and the classic and more modest is lauded as the sexier of the two. Leave something to their imagination with the way you dress and the way you share your life when meeting someone new. We women tend to over share sometimes, and who doesn't enjoy a little mystery in their new mate or even the mate they've known for 20 years?
Cultivate Your Own Identity
Independence is sexy every day of the week. Make sure you have and are cultivating your own life. There's nothing less sexy than the needy partner who won't go anywhere without you. Seeing your partner through the eyes of someone new is a fabulous way to create and maintain desire in long-term relationships, and this happens when you have new friends and interests. This is so crucial after you become a mom. It's so easy to get sucked into your kids' lives and have that consume you. Don't lose your identity as a woman when you take on the role of mom. Your kids grow up and will have their own lives, keep yours.

BERLIN -- Nuremberg substitute Sebastian Polter scored in the second minute of injury time to rescue a 2-2 draw against Hannover in the Bundesliga on Sunday, while Stuttgart ended its five-game losing run with a 1-0 win at Hoffenheim.
"It's an important point for us," Nuremberg coach Michael Wiesinger said after his side preserved its eight-game unbeaten run at home. "The equalizer showed our morale again but we have to cut out our mistakes."
Hannover midfielder Szabolcs Huszti opened the scoring against the run of play in the 41st when he cut inside defender Timm Klose before blasting the ball past goalkeeper Raphael Schaefer.
Klose atoned with only his second Nuremberg goal in the 53rd, with a backward header from Hiroshi Kiyotake's perfectly delivered free kick.
Japanese midfielder Mu Kanazaki came on for his Bundesliga debut in the 63rd, but the visitors went ahead five minutes later when Mohammed Abdellaoue crossed for Didier Ya Konan.
Nuremberg kept pushing for the equalizer and Polter deservedly scored when U.S. international Timothy Chandler crossed for him to beat Ron-Robert Zieler from close range.
"We have to defend that better. It's very annoying," said Hannover captain Christian Schulz, whose side was beaten 3-1 by Anzhi Makhachkala in the Europa League on Thursday. "Very annoying."
Martin Harnik's third-minute goal was enough for Stuttgart to climb to 12th and away from the relegation zone, while Hoffenheim is now 10 points adrift in the relegation playoff place.
"That was our worst game today. Such an early goal in our situation cannot be excused," Hoffenheim coach Marco Kurz said.
Harnik sent Ibrahima Traore free on the left and then met the Guinea midfielder's cross with a header in off the underside of the bar.
Traore -- who was outstanding throughout -- and then Vedad Ibisevic went close shortly afterward as the visitors dominated, but Hoffenheim came more into the game as the half progressed and Joselu's effort was deflected narrowly wide in the 38th.
Sven Ulreich pulled off crucial saves to deny the home side an equalizer, most notably in the 64th, when he got the better of Joselu in a one-on-one when the Spaniard should have scored.
"We fought for the win," Stuttgart coach Bruno Labbadia said. "We always said we need to remain calm. The team has always shown it's willing."

A stillbirth occurs when a fetus has died in the uterus. A wide variety of definitions exist.[1] Once the fetus has died, the mother may or may not have contractions and undergo childbirth. The term is often used in distinction to live birth or miscarriage and the word miscarriage is often used incorrectly to describe stillbirths. Most stillbirths occur in full-term pregnancies.
The causes of a large percentage of human stillbirths remain unknown, even in cases where extensive testing and autopsy have been performed. A rarely used term to describe these is "sudden antenatal death syndrome" or SADS, a phrase coined by Cacciatore & Collins in 2000.[2] Many stillbirths occur at fullterm to apparently healthy mothers, and a postmortem evaluation reveals a cause of death in only about 40% of autopsied cases.[3]
In cases where the cause is known, some possibilities of the cause of death are:
Sometimes a pregnancy is terminated deliberately during a late phase, for example for congenital anomaly. UK law requires these procedures to be registered as "stillbirths".[6]
It is unknown how much time is needed for a fetus to die. Fetal behavior is consistent and a change in the fetus' movements or sleep-wake cycles can indicate fetal distress.[5] A decrease or cessation in sensations of fetal activity may be an indication of fetal distress or death, though it is not entirely uncommon for a healthy fetus to exhibit such changes, particularly near the end of a pregnancy when there is considerably less space in the uterus than earlier in pregnancy for the fetus to move about. Still, medical examination, including a nonstress test, is recommended in the event of any type of any change in the strength or frequency of fetal movement, especially a complete cease; most midwives and obstetricians recommend the use of a kick chart to assist in detecting any changes. Fetal distress or death can be confirmed or ruled out via fetoscopy/doptone, ultrasound, and/or electronic fetal monitoring. If the fetus is alive but inactive, extra attention will be given to the placenta and umbilical cord during ultrasound examination to ensure that there is no compromise of oxygen and nutrient delivery.
When the umbilical cord is constricted (q.v. "accidents" above), the fetus experiences periods of hypoxia, and may respond by unusually high periods of kicking or struggling, to free the umbilical cord. These are sporadic if constriction is due to a change in the fetus' or mother's position, and may become worse or more frequent as the fetus grows. Extra attention should be given if mothers experience large increases in kicking from previous childbirths, especially when increases correspond to position changes.[5]
As many of the causes are unknown or untreatable, prevention is difficult. Symptoms of bacterial infection, such as from a dental abscess, in pregnant women may also include unusual periods of incoherence and symptoms of shock, and should be treated by a physician immediately. High blood pressure, diabetes and drug use should be regulated with physician's advice. Umbilical cord constriction may be identified and observed by ultrasound, if requested.
Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2011 found a number of maternal factors associated with stillbirth. Among them: being age 40 or older, having diabetes, having a history of addiction to illegal drugs, being overweight or obese, and smoking cigarettes in the three months before getting pregnant.[7]
An in utero stillbirth does not usually present an immediate health risk to the woman and labour will usually begin spontaneously after two weeks, so the woman may choose to wait and birth the fetal remains vaginally. After two weeks, the woman is at risk of developing blood clotting problems, and labor induction is recommended at this point. In many cases, the woman will find the idea of carrying the dead fetus emotionally traumatizing and will elect to be induced. Caesarean birth is not recommended unless complications develop during vaginal birth.
The mean stillbirth rate in the United States is approximately 1 in 160 births, which is roughly 26,000 stillbirths each year, or on an average one every 20 minutes.[8] In Australia,[9] England, Wales,[10][11] and Northern Ireland,[citation needed] the rate is approximately 1 in every 200 births; in Scotland, 1 in 167.[citation needed]
In developing countries, where medical care can be of low quality or unavailable, the stillbirth rate is much higher.[citation needed]
Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep is a non-profit organization, founded in 2005, that provides the gift of free professional portraiture to families suffering the loss of a baby. This gift is made possible by the work of over 11,000 volunteers in every U.S. state as well as numerous countries throughout the world.
In Australia any stillborn weighing more than 400 grams, or more than 20 weeks in gestation, must have its birth registered.[12]
In Austria a stillbirth is defined as birth of a child of at least 500 g weight without vital signs, e.g. blood circulation, breath or muscle movements.
Beginning in 1959, "the definition of a stillbirth was revised to conform, in substance, to the definition of fetal death recommended by the World Health Organization." [13] The definition of "fetal death" promulgated by the World Health Organization in 1950 is as follows:
In Germany a stillbirth is defined as birth of a child of at least 500g weight without blood circulation or breath. Details for burial vary amongst the federal states.[15]
In the Netherlands, stillbirth is defined differently by the central bureau of statistics (CBS) and the Dutch perinatal registry (Stichting PRN). The birth and mortality numbers from the CBS include all liveborn children, regardless of gestational duration and all stillbirths from 24 weeks of gestation and onwards. In the Perinatal Registry, gestational duration of both liveborn and stillborn children is available. They register all liveborn and stillborn children from 22, 24 or 28 weeks of gestation and onwards (dependent on the report: fetal, neonatal or perinatal mortality). Therefore, data from these institutions on (still)births can not simply be compared one-on-one.
Since 1 Jan 1995 stillbirths occurring in the Republic of Ireland must be registered; stillbirths which occurred before that date can also be registered but evidence is required.[16] For the purposes of civil registration, s.1 of the Stillbirths Registration Act 1994 refers to :-
"...a child weighing at least 500 grammes, or having reached a gestational age of at least 24 weeks who shows no signs of life."
The registration of still-births has been required in England and Wales from 1927, in Scotland from 1939 but is not required in Northern Ireland.[17]
For the purposes of the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1926 (as amended), section 12 contains the definition that :-
"still-born" and "still-birth" shall apply to any child which has issued forth from its mother after the twenty fourth week of pregnancy and which did not at any time after being completely expelled from its mother, breathe or show any other signs of life.
A similar definition is applied within the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953 (as amended), contained in s.41.
The above definitions apply within those Acts thus other legislation will not necessarily be in identical terms.
s.2 of the 1953 Act requires that registration of a birth takes place within 42 days of the birth except where an inquest takes place or the child has been "found exposed" in which latter case the time limit runs from the time of finding.
Extracts from the register of still-births are restricted to those who have obtained consent from the Registrar General for England and Wales.
Section 56(1) of the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Scotland) Act 1965 (as amended) contains the definition that :-
"still-born child" means a child which has issued forth from its mother after the twenty-fourth week of pregnancy and which did not at any time after being completely expelled from its mother breathe or show any other signs of life, and the expression "still-birth" shall be construed accordingly
s.21(1) of the same Act requires that :-
Except so far as otherwise provided by this section or as may be prescribed, the provisions of this Part of this Act shall, so far as applicable, apply to still-births in like manner as they apply to births of children born alive.
In the general case, s.14 of the Act requires that a birth has to be registered within 21 days of the birth or of the child being found.
Unlike the registers for births, marriages, civil partnerships and deaths, the register of still-births is not open to public access and issue of extracts requires the permission of the Registrar General for Scotland.
In Northern Ireland the Births and Deaths Registration (Northern Ireland) Order 1976,[18] as amended contains the definition :-
"still-birth" means the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother after the twenty-fourth week of pregnancy of a child which did not at any time after being completely expelled or extracted breathe or show any other evidence of life.
Registration of still-births can be made by a relative or certain other persons involved with the still-birth but it is not compulsory to do so. Registration takes place with the District Registrar for the Registration District where the still-birth occurred or for the District in which the mother is resident. A still-birth certificate will be issued to the registrant with further copies only available to those obtaining official consent for their issue. Registration may be made within three months of the still-birth[19]
In the United States, there is no standard definition of the term 'stillbirth'.[14] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collects statistical information on "live births, fetal deaths, and induced termination of pregnancy" from 57 reporting areas in the United States. Each reporting area has different guidelines and definitions for what is being reported; many do not use the term "stillbirth" at all. The federal guidelines suggests (at page 1) that fetal death and stillbirth can be interchangeable terms. The CDC definition of "fetal death" is based on the definition promulgated by the World Health Organization in 1950 (see section above on Canada). Researchers are learning more about the long term psychiatric sequelae of traumatic birth and believe the effects may be intergenerational [20]
The federal guidelines recommend reporting those fetal deaths whose birth weight is over 12.5 oz (350g), or those more than 20 weeks gestation. Forty-one areas use a definition very similar to the federal definition, thirteen areas use a shortened definition of fetal death, and three areas have no formal definition of fetal death. Only 11 areas specifically use the term 'stillbirth', often synonymously with late fetal death, however they are split between whether stillbirths are "irrespective of the duration of pregnancy", or whether some age or weight constraint is applied. A movement in the U.S. has changed the way that stillbirths are documented through vital records. Previously, only the deaths were reported. However 27 states have enacted legislation that offers some variation of a birth certificate as an option for parents who choose to pay for one.

megalicious: tell me everything
aohk: about l.a.?
megalicious: duh.
aohk: it was fun. busy, but fun.
megalicious: what happened with tex?
aohk: nothing. why?
megalicious: oh i heard him talking to some of the guys and he was being all coy and making it seem like something had happened between you two
aohk: ugh!
megalicious: don't worry tho. mark jumped in and said he was full of it. i think he may have a crush on you
aohk: tex?
megalicious: mark
Oy. In case you've forgotten, I don't date coworkers anymore, married or otherwise. I decided not to say anything to Tex. I also decided to keep my distance from him, because 1) he's annoying and 2) sometimes he's not annoying. I'll let you do what you will with that last statement, but for the record, I am not a homewrecker.
Enough about work drama, though. Jenna wormed her way into my pastry class, and last night was the second class. (Well, third. I missed the second one while I was in L.A.) Jenna decided that she wasn't in the mood to terrorize anyone, and wanted some "girl time." I've never known Jenna not to want to terrorize people, so naturally I was shocked. I was even more shocked when she dropped this bomb:
"I hooked up with John[-with-the-baseball-hat] on Saturday night."
What was that feeling I got? Oh, right. Irrational jealousy. Not because I want to be with John, per se, but because he liked me and now he's moved onto Jenna. The same way my friends fell madly in love with Jenna when I introduced them. Okay okay, it's really because I just want to be Jenna. Not, like, forever---but for a week, maybe? A year?
Anyway, Jenna still doesn't know that John-with-the-baseball-hat and I made out at her parents' lake house that one time. And she isn't going to. I'm going to just be happy for her, because Jane screwed her over and she deserves some fun.
"What's going on in your brain?" she asked, looking at me intently.
"Oh, I was just thinking about how John[-with-the-baseball-hat] told me he was vaguely terrified of you before."
"Ha ha. Yeah, he still is. I kind of go out of my way to scare him."
"Of course you do."
Jealousy aside, I'm psyched that all is right in my world. Jenna and I are friends, she's all gaga over John-with-the-baseball-hat, Jane and I are fine and she's finally Tom-free. Not to mention the fact that I learned how to make a kickass crème brulee from scratch. Now, I do believe it's time for Sarah and I to meet some cute, sane boys to hang out with, maybe even some who live in the same town as us. Actually, I'll take the sane ones. Sarah likes hers damaged and crazy.

"Turned out very well! YUMMY! It was light and airy, had a very buttery flavor and the crumb topping was delicious. My only complaint was that it ended up taking 45 minutes to bake rather than the suggested 25 and that is a pretty significant difference. Other than that, success!"

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Diesels
harley3 Posts: 10Just checking to see if anyone else is experiencing any problems with their CDI ??? A couple of minor nuisances with mine at 7500 miles as follows:
- When I start up and place the car in reverse, it feels like th brakes are setting up or something . making nose almost like a chatter then they are fine .....
- The transmission delays going into drive first thing in the am or when I go from reverse to drive
- Coming to a stop, the transmission does not downshift smooth and it feels like the brakes are not going to stop the car ... It takes more pressure than it should ...... Otherwise a fantastic car .
Will be making an appointment to take it in shortly ........ Also, anyone have Satellite in their car in their car >>> If so, who installed it ........
Thank You -
ssamaha Posts: 17Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the diehard diesel lovers will covet the I-6 CDI over the V6... Aluminum block engines, and V6 engines don't serve any mechanical advantage over Iron block I-6, they both simply make the car more economical... the V6 allows for more room to add the engine into other platforms, and add features like AWD, and the Aluminum is for weight savings, nothing more, as the iron block is far less susceptible to thermal expansion from warmups, and cracking of the block. I am sure the I-6 can run (if well maintained) for 500,000 before overhaul.
mollymax Posts: 25Yes I agree with you about more engine compartment space with the V6. I think Mercedes will be inserting a electric motor (hybred) in the future with all the extra space. Could be a good thing "Diesel Electric" just like the cruise ships and trains. Use the V6 CDI to charge the batterys..........
merc1 Posts: 6,081Well the new V6 won't have the history of the I6 when it comes here, but it is on sale in Europe now in the C,E, CLS and in a few months the new ML and the new S-Class. Yes 4Matic will be offered for the first time on a Mercedes diesel due to the space saved by using a V6 vs the longish I6.
mtttx Posts: 1Mine did the same thing at about 17K, The Dealer said it was gas in the fuel. After charging me to drain and dispose of the fuel, no fix. Finally, After investigating it myself. It turned out to be the EGR Valve, the changed it under warrantee and problem solved. They even refunded the fuel issue. MB must know about this, it is pretty common with CDIs (it took two weeks to get a new EGR valve)
I'm sure this is your problem, Let me know if this helps -

cctdi Posts: 82Talking about the 4Matic for CDI, I just called the MB headquarter and local dealership, both of them said," no 4Matic for 2006", so when will MB release the 4Matic, especially the wagon form? And according to Aug. Motor Trend report( p.33 ) the E420 CDI with 310 hp. and 538 ft. will be launch this fall as 2006 model, is this E420 coming up to North America? I drove 98 MB diesel for two years, by comparing my VW V10 tdi in Touareg and 2.L tdi in my 04 & 05 Passats, the 98 MB diesel was quite out of date. The new CDI will be different story of course.
merc1 Posts: 6,081The new V6 E320 CDI model will be a 2007 model. I doubt if we'll see a diesel wagon here, and the V8 E420 CDI is even less of a possibility. 4Matic has to wait until the new V6 hits the market because it won't fit with the current I6, so the 2007 model year is the earliest for 4Matic and a diesel. Mercedes is going to time the V6 diesel intro with the wide spread availability of cleaner diesel fuel which has to be in place by law by Sept 2006, so late 2006 is the earliest you'll see the new V6 CDI engine in the E, which will also get a facelift for 2007. The V6 models won't get any more power since both the V6 diesel and gas engines are new in the E350 and E320 CDI, only the V8 E500 will get a new engine, the 382hp V8 from the 2007 S500.
cctdi Posts: 82Thank you so much for the detailed description of the E-Class. Since 01 I got an E320 wagon 4matic which I traded for 430 4matic sedan replaced by the bumpy 55, I sold it to Lexus for LS 430. The Tdi engines impressed me and stirred my desire for the new MB CDI engines. I am glad to know the new E500 V8. If there is no gas guzzler tax on this engine, I might be interested.
ssamaha Posts: 17The '05's and newer MB's are 100% more reliable than prior models as during this time, MB launched a major campaign to attain JD's #1 spot in quality which cost the company $2Billion... they've just announced that they will abandon this goal, but nevertheless, the quality was dramatically improved since the 2002-3 production time.
fshaffer Posts: 2I am sure that you have found the filter by now. I have been trying to buy after market Mann 721/2x filters and all that seem to be available is Hengst. I've used them many times in my 92 Diesel, but am weary about the CDI. What do you think about the 13,000 interval of oil change? I've 14,000 on mine since Apr. 2004 and have changed it twice and feel guilty at that. The Diesel Dr. Booth says it's OK to run the Mobile 0-40 the 13,000. I've always changed my Diesels at 3,000 mi. How are you doing on mpg. I've averaged 38+ since new. My last fill-up was 41 mpg. and that was the old fashioned way.
Frank -
fshaffer Posts: 2For a Diesel I agree on the long 13,000 mile oil change. I've changed mine twice in 14,000 and feel guilty at that. I've always done 3000 on all my Diesels. The filter has been available at my local dealer at around $13.00 with Mecedes Club Discount. After market only seems to have Hengst at about $11.44 plus shipping. The orgininal from MB are Mann # 721/2x. I feel about 6,000 would be a good place to change with Mobile 0-40.
blissful Posts: 79I'm about to order my first ever new MBZ. I "accidentally" test drove a CDI about a year ago and have been trying to talk myself out of buying one ever since. Now that I've read this entire forum, I am truly hooked!
Currently driving an Audi A6 wagon, fully loaded. The thing I am most hooked on is Parktronic. I find I don't use the Nav so much- is cumbersome, although there have been a few times when it has been absolutely great to have. Am curious what people are thinking about the MBZ nav system: do you use it? One person mentioned the system had too many layers to easily enjoy. Others? Anyone using the Sirius satellite radio?
Also, my 4 day per week commute is 2 miles each way. Has me concerned. Thoughts? (I know, it SUCKS to only have a 5 minute drive to work in such a beautiful auto!!)
Does anyone else have strong pro or con feelings about the panorama roof? Upholstery color- does the lighter (stone) show dirt very quickly?
Thank you- I await your comments with anticipation!

Ericson 35-3 hull to keel joint

Rep Power:
For sure any possibility of a hard grounding needs to be checked carefully, and repaired properly. But aside from that possibility, so many boats seem to have issues with the keel/hull joint (e.g. the C&C "smile"), that this issue merits further exploration. The Ericson website had a post showing pictures of keel bolts that had corroded badly--developed a significant "waist" to about half their thickness. With the cost of dropping and rebedding the keel, many owners will ignore this possibility. While one rarely hears of boats losing their keels while underway, I am guessing there must be quite a few older boats with questionable keelbolts.
So far, I haven't heard of any good way of determining keelbolt condition, or good indications of a potential problem, other than x-ray (not possible with a lead keel) or proactively dropping/rebedding the keel. I have wondered at times if it wouldn't make sense, and maybe be cost-effective, to simply add 2 - 3 new keel bolts on any 20 year old boat; I guess the key question here would be where to add these new bolts from a structural point of view, to be able to take the stress and provide good support if needed. Any further comments welcome....
