- Styrofoam balls
- Paint
- Wine corks
- Hot glue and glue gun
We purchased four styrofoam balls (two that were 4", one 8" and one 10").
We painted them a shade of brown so that the white was not seen in between the corks. I hung them to dry overnight.
Next, I hot glued the corks on one by one.
- I glued a line of corks around the center and then filled in one half. Then I flipped it over and filled in the other half row by row. Occasionally the bottom of a cork had to be trimmed down some to fit into a tighter space.

These are so cool! What a good idea. I am going to try and make a few of these. If you need extra corks, this is a great source: http://www.corkstore.com/Products/Recycled-Corks
I have so many corks I wouldn't throw out....this is great! I have so many trivets, and this is so different...thanks!
Very different...I looked twice. You must have had funny getting all those corks!I really like this idea,display in a large bowl or whatever, on a table. A real conversation starter, over a glass of wine. :o)
Interesting. Cute in a weird sort of way, but I like them. I just pictured champagne corks on them, looking like mushrooms growing on a ball. LOL
These would make great Christmas ornaments for neighbors in the smaller sizes and a great reason for happy hour!! :)

Sen. Stacey Campfield Draws Criticism for Nazi Germany Comparison - John Dunn
Sen. Stacey Campfield Draws Criticism for Nazi Germany Comparison - John Dunn

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee State Senator Stacey Campfield is drawing a lot of criticism. Members of his own party are calling a new blog post that references the Holocaust ignorant, disgraceful and classless.
The Knoxville Republican has a history of making controversial statements. Some believe the new post goes too far.
State lawmakers have finished their business inside the Capitol, but one Senator is still making news. Stacey Campfield is an active blogger, and in Monday's "Thought of the Day" he said "Democrats bragging about the number of mandatory sign ups for Obamacare is like Germans bragging about the number of mandatory sign ups for "train rides" for Jews in the 40s."
Reaction has been swift. Tennessee Democrats call the post outrageous. "Everybody ought to denounce this kind of bigotry and insensitivity and hate," says TN Democratic Party chairman Roy Herron.
Tennessee's Republican Party chairman also released a statement saying the "...comments are ignorant and repugnant," and "...have no place in our public discourse," said Chris Devaney.
Nashville's Jewish community has a Holocaust memorial with the names of many who were killed during the 1940's. Last week it hosted a Holocaust remembrance ceremony. "To use the Holocaust as a political football to punt around to me is just anathema. You don't do it," says Abbie Wolf with Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle TN.
With so much controversy surrounding this blog post, Senator Campfield released a statement on his facebook page. Campfield says his post was meant to draw attention to America's loss of freedom, and not "...diminish or detract from the pain, suffering, and loss of human life that occurred during this dark time in human history."
Jewish community leaders say the statement falls short. "I think he should issue an absolute apology," says Wolf.
Wolf says comparing Obamacare sign ups to Jewish train rides cheapens the Holocaust.
Senator Campfield is up for re-election this year. He will be challenged in the Republican primary this August, and, if he wins, by a Democrat in November.

A month after it took top honors at X03, Rainbow Six 3 has been sent to manufacturing. The first Xbox version of Ubisoft's best-selling, Tom Clancy-based, tactical-combat series has had a relatively trouble-free ride to production, and should make its October 28 release date without any problem.
Unlike Splinter Cell, Ubisoft's other Tom-Clancy-inspired Xbox action game, Rainbow Six doesn't follow the exploits of a single stealthy commando. It follows four stealthy commandos, who can be equipped with a vast arsenal of real-life assault weapons and high-tech devices.
The game also features a complex order system to dispatch players' squad mates, including "zulu" commands that will be executed on your signal. However, the game is not a port of the previous PC Rainbow Six titles, and features a new plot and gameplay specifically designed for the Xbox.
Gamers who prefer multiplayer action can create 4-man teams with friends and play co-op mission or head-to-head tournaments via Xbox Live. The limited edition of the game comes with a custom headset for use with the Microsoft service.
Tom Clancys Rainbow Six 3 will begin hitting store shelves October 28, 2003. It's been rated M (Mature) by the ESRB and has an MSRP of $49.99.

Leaving the emergency room for endoscopy - page 2
Hey all! Just wanting to introduce myself and talk about endoscopy. I'm going to be starting a new position in the field in the next two or three weeks. I'm pretty excited - I shadowed for a... Read More
2May 28, '12 by brillohead, ADN, RNAs someone who has had more EGDs than I can even count, how about if I give you a patient's perspective? I've been getting EGDs regularly since the mid 90s, and I've also had an unmedicated colonoscopy within the last couple years.
In the pre-procedural area, your typical patient is going to be scared and uncomfortable, particularly if they've never had a 'scope before. If they're having a colonoscopy, they're likely going to be fatigued from having been up all night pooping their brains out. If they didn't get the advance warning to purchase wet-wipes during their cleanse, they also have a ring of fire where their anal sphincter used to be. If they haven't been actively rehydrating, they may be a difficult stick for the IV start. If they're having an EGD, they're probably going to be starving and thirsty and dehydrated. Regardless of which procedure, they're probably at least a little scared about what is going to happen, unless they've been through it before.
If you haven't observed each type of procedure, I highly recommend it. That way you can explain the nitty-gritty details to the patient (yes, the MD is supposed to do the actual informed consent, but as the nurse, you are going to be the one spending face-time with the patient before the procedure). You can explain to the patient that you'll have them change into a gown, get vital signs, start an IV, take a short EKG strip on them, have them sign papers, etc., then they'll be wheeled to the procedure room where the lights will be dimmed, they will be placed on their left side, and if having an EGD they will be given an anti-bubbles liquid to swallow, they will be strapped down so they won't move during the scope, a hard plastic thing will be placed in their mouth so they don't bite the tube, and medicine will be inserted into their IV for the procedure itself. Then after the procedure, they'll wake up in the recovery area and be there until the sedation wears off enough for them to go home. Also, tell them now, when fully aware, that it's normal for them to forget things that happen later in the day.
A few things for post-procedure -- don't tell your colonoscopy patient that it's okay to pass gas freely because it's just the air that was pumped into them. Unless you know for a fact that they had a completely clean bowel, you could end up having to wipe up some residue if you have them fart at will. (Fortunately I was unmedicated for my own colonoscopy because I wanted to watch it myself, and I had seen the little bits and pieces that were still inside me. Had I not been fully conscious, I would have followed the nurse's advice and left skid-marks all over the bed!) Don't panic if the O2 sats are low for a sedated patient -- just remind them to breathe (some of us kind of forget that until the sedation wears off). Make sure that the responsible adult escorting your patient home knows that it's normal for the patient to forget stuff for several hours.
I hope that helps with the patient's perspective a little bit. -
0May 30, '12 by brownbookBrillo, Thanks, I really appreciated being reminded of your, the patient's, point of view.
But (of course there has to be a butt, ha ha) about passing gas. I would rather have the patient pass some stool in the bed than keep it in and get cramps? I can easily clean the bed. Not so easy to relieve abdominal cramping.
How about if I tell the patient to let the gas out and if some stool or liquid, comes with it don't worry, the bed is padded and we can clean the bed easier than relieve their cramping.
Also I have no problem letting a patient get up to use the toilet soon after the procedure, if I judge they are not too sedated. -
0May 30, '12 by brillohead, ADN, RNI think the biggest thing is to let them know what *could* happen (and remind them more than once, for a sedated patient ... it really does take quite a while for your short-term memory to return!). Nobody wants to poop the bed unexpectedly, particularly when they have to explain it to a stranger (and then depend upon that stranger to clean up after them)!
In my case, my "recovery room" nurse (using quote marks b/c I wasn't sedated, so I technically wasn't recovering) told me that it was "just air in there" and it was okay to let it fly. Like I said, I knew better, and the first time I tooted was on a toilet... and it looked like a Jackson Pollock original!
So if they're steady enough to get up to the toilet, or if they want a washcloth or towel to put between their cheeks to catch any skidmarks, or if they're comfortable just letting it all fly and pick up the pieces later, I think the biggest thing is to let them be a participant in the process.
That's one thing that my two decades of dealing with my own medical issues has taught me.... the patient's perspective. Hopefully it makes me a better nurse in the end. -
0Jun 29, '12 by brandyo123I worked for 4 years in a busy out/inpatient endo unit in a hospital, and I loved it. Endoscopy is truly an interesting field, and I think you will get out what you put in. There is a lot to learn, and the field changes a lot. I was also able to become a float in the department, after I learned pre-op, post-op and PACU, and gained more valuable skills that way. I do think that if you haven't already, you should definitely research the unit and figure out what they're really all about (i.e.: hours, holidays, etc.). I ended up leaving endo recently for all the reasons you seem to think you'll be leaving behind in the ER: non-stop politics, horrible hours, crappy management, incompetent physicians, etc. The endo unit was supposed to be 4 10-hour shifts, but we were chronically understaffed and had to take call, so I was frequently putting in 14-16 hour days. Also, since the schedule was solely census based, we were staffed daily -- meaning I didn't know what time I was coming to work the next day until the previous afternoon/evening. I could be staffed at 0530, or not until 1200. That kind of work environment was not conducive to a happy life, so I got out. The 3 12-hour shifts without call that I work now are such a welcome change!
As for being "clique-y," you have to learn to work really closely with your co-workers and be part of a team. If one member of the team fails, literally you all fail. You depend on one another to make the unit flow smoothly. I also think endo nursing is very unique, and a type of nursing that you can only understand after you enter the field, so that may also contribute to what people perceive as "clique-y."
I know that not all endo units are as dysfunctional as mine was -- I would just encourage you ask as many questions as possible before you commit! Definitely shadow there also. Good luck to you! -
1Jun 29, '12 by yrmajesty3Nurses nurturing nurses....I love that! Thank you all so much for your pearls of wisdom !!!
I especially appreciated knowing more of what the patient experiences per Brillohead....muchas gracias. I LOVE your nursing intervention of "cloth-in-crack"...lol! (So simple yet so effective. I wonder why I haven't seen this offered yet.)
Having never undergone these types of procedures myself, it's INVALUABLE to hear a "nurse-as-patient" perception. I also agree with you that I would be best served by observing each procedure now that I am a little more comfortable in the unit. My unit manager has agreed to allow me the time to do exactly that.brillohead likes this. -
0Jun 30, '12 by Georgia peach RNI work in a small out patient clinic where the GI lab is also located, we do GI 3 - 4 days a week, we see aprox 25- 30 patients a week in our small GI lab. I am and LPN soon to sit for my NCLEX RN, I have done preop, assisted with the scopes, and assisted an RN in the recovery area. the flow of our pts are:
1 patient arrives
2 pt signs all consents and discharge instructions, review all home medications, time out is started
3 pt changes into a gown and placed on a stretcher, IV is started and LR is up
4 procedure with sedation by a CRNA we use diprovan to sedate
The nurse assisting also fills out all relevant paper work to the procedure, label specimens, and at end of day deliver all specimens to Lab.
5 recovery
we have one nurse in preop, one nurse in the procedure room, one nurse and a CNA in recovery room, one nurse in the clean room cleaning scopes with evotech, and one nurse to float to assist where needed between the four.
We do any where from 5 to 20 procedures in a day. We are very busy, we are a team. If one doesnt pull their weight then everyone else feels it. Cliques --- I dont know we are a close bunch if one is hurting we all hurt for them, we pull together and act like a family.
I also work in our ER part time when there are staffing issues I find that both are very stimulating.
Medications we use in the GI lab -- we might give a little glucogon, zofran for the occasional nausea
It can be just as stressful as ER at times - GI bleed.....
in short I love Gi nursing -

Your story sounds identical to mine!!! I have been in the ER for 3+ years and desperately wanted a change. I will be starting in an outpatient endoscopy lab in a few weeks!! I am so excited. I have two great friends that work there, and they love it!! One was a prior med-surg nurse and the other worked at a long term acute-care hospital. I hope everything is going well for you!! How do you like it? Any tips for me? Thanks!!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
German comments on EU treaty change timeline

Shaeuble: However, some measures to resolve the crisis, including changes
to the EU's treaties, will take longer to resolve, he said.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has said as much. When Merkel, together with
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, recently announced they had come up with
a comprehensive package of measures to solve the crisis, the chancellor
said it would include "changes to the treaties." A draft position paper on
European policy for the party congress of Merkel's conservative Christian
Democrats in November says that such changes are "in the interest of a
Europe that is capable of taking action, transparent and democratic."
"There is no way around it," wrote Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, the
former leader of the business-friendly Free Democratic Party (FDP), in a
guest editorial for the Berlin newspaper Tagesspiegel. "A change to the
treaties is necessary for there to be an effective change in the stability
rules," he added, referring to the euro-zone debt and deficit rules laid
down in the Maastricht Treaty.
The Greens are of the same opinion. Like the CDU, the Greens are also
devoting a motion to Europe at their national congress in a few weeks'
time. They want to open a "new chapter" and make it clear "why we need
more, not less, Europe."
"We need a new treaty between Brussels and its citizens in order to
discuss the necessary far-reaching reforms and get the process in motion,"
says Green Party co-leader Cem O:zdemir. Germany's Martin Schulz, head of
the Social Democrats' group in the European Parliament, took a similar
position in remarks to the public radio station Deutschlandfunk: "We need
to change the treaties," he said.
9/2/11 http://www.eubusiness.com/news-eu/finance-economy.byf
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has called for revising the
European Union treaty to give Brussels a greater say in financial and
economic matters, Bild newspaper reported Friday.
Such changes are needed because of the current eurozone crisis "even
though we know how difficult treaty negotiations can be," he reportedly
told a closed meeting of fellow Christian Union members of parliament on

On Tuesday, German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble called for the
second time in a week for changes to the treaties.
"Strengthening the eurozone's architecture ... may need profound treaty
changes," he wrote in an opinion piece for the Financial Times.
In order to encourage states to keep their debt within the 60% of GDP
limit, required by the Stability and Growth Pact, Mr Verhofstadt proposed
debt over this limit to be marketed separately, outside the single bond
market and without being guaranteed by the euro area. "It goes without
saying that these bonds would be more expensive". As regards sanctions,
Verhofstadt believes that "it is not the removal of voting rights [as
proposed by Germany] but the progressive expulsion of the so-called
"sinners" from the single bond market that will increase the pressure".
The idea, however, met strong resistance from Germany. Chancellor Angela
Merkel said she was against the establishment of eurobonds for both legal
and economic reasons. The German Finance Minister Wolfgang Scha:uble,
cited by the "Financial Times", has also ruled out the use of jointly
guaranteed eurobonds to finance borrowing by eurozone members as a move
that would require "fundamental changes in the European treaty". Mr
Scha:uble, however, is optimistic that in the long term the euro area
countries, including Germany, would be prepared to give up more of their
national budget authorities, the newspaper wrote.

Chancellor Angela Merkel has defended a German-French proposal to impose
stiffer penalties on European Union countries that breach the criteria of
the Stability and Growth Pact.
Speaking to the lower house of parliament on the eve of an EU summit in
Brussels on Thursday, Chancellor Merkel said that Germany and France would
insist on tougher financial rules, even if it meant amending the Lisbon
Treaty, which regulates how the 27-member block operates.
"We need a new, robust framework. It must be legally watertight and this
will happen only with a change of the European treaties," she said.
In a joint statement with Chancellor Merkel, President Sarkozy proposed
revisions to the EU treaty in order to bring in tough sanctions against
countries that threatened the euro's stability by running high levels of
government debt and to set up permanent EU bail-out fund.
6/11/10 http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/90001/90777/90853/7021470.html
"I'm of the opinion that we also need changes to the treaties," said
Merkel after a meeting in Berlin with European Council President Herman
van Rompuy. "I even believe that such a treaty change could bring security
for markets."
After a meeting in Brussels with European Parliament President Jerzy
Buzek, and the leaders of Parliament's seven political groups, German
Chancellor Angela Merkel said that treaty changes shouldn't be a taboo
when it comes to measures needed to tackle the current Euro crisis.
5/26/10 http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/article438929.ece
The European Union must remain open-minded about the need to change its
treaties, a spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on
Wednesday, rebuffing comments by EU Commission President Jose Manuel
"The European Union must be able to react to the challenges of the time,"
said government spokesman Christoph Steegmans, adding that situations such
as the financial crisis required an appropriate response.
"If we cannot change a comma or a full stop in the European treaties in
the next 20 years, we are a stagnating system and we do not want that,"
Mr. Steegmans added.
"We will push for what is necessary," Chancellor Angela Merkel's
spokesman, Christoph Steegmans, told reporters. "As we are discussing new
goals and instruments, then we will eventually need changes in the
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Thursday that the rules he
has proposed to address the euro zone's debt problems--including the
possible expulsion of member states verging on insolvency--may require
changes to European Union treaties, Dow Jones reported. He acknowledged
that bringing about the changes would be extremely difficult and that many
countries doubt such moves are possible.
5/13/10 http://www.openeurope.org.uk/media-centre/summary.aspx?id=2346
Focus reports that German Chancellor Angela Merkel has insisted that EU
Treaty changes are the only way to achieve the kind of EU budgetary
surveillance and discipline measures Berlin is seeking. "We need a
stronger oversight mechanism for the stability and growth pact and the
European Commission can only make suggestions below treaty change," said
Merkel. "We believe that anyone aiming for a durable and robust stability
pact has to take treaty change into account." Such a Treaty change would
almost certainly have to be put to a referendum in the UK, as the Con-Lib
Government's "manifesto", published yesterday, promises to oppose and/or
hold a referendum on any further transfers of powers to the EU.
In a first reaction, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the proposals
went in the right direction and were a means of transparency without being
an attack on national budget rights. But she said changes to the EU treaty
were still needed to enforce the bloc's budget discipline rules more
Chancellor Angela Merkel's call for a treaty change to allow the expulsion
of errant euro members caused shock and dismay in Spain, Greece and
Belgium, where former Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt accused her of no
longer wanting European solutions.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble wants a European Monetary Fund,
not so much to nurse sick countries back to fiscal health as to punish
them for misbehaving and provide an orderly insolvency process to avoid
contagion in the euro area.
Speaking to foreign journalists in Berlin, Merkel backed the idea of a
European Monetary Fund and left open the possibility of emergency aid for
Greece in future, while emphasizing there was no need for it now.
"I think the idea (of an EMF) is a good one, " she said. "Without changing
the (EU) treaty, it cannot be done. We would need a treaty change."

Hi All, I'm in the Valdosta area (about 15 miles from the Florida line) and need to find a supplier of bulk materials (well, bulk for me means a pickup truck worth). I need to make a mix for my containers that I use for vegetables (tomatoes and peppers), and the bagged potting mixes are getting expensive! Anyone in this area have ideas on suppliers? I think the hardest thing for me to find is going to be pine or fir bark fine enough for use in containers. Thanks! Jennie |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am in Pa not Ga, but I see you posted a while ago, with no response, and the Pa forum is dead as a doornail. I can give non-specific sources and then tell you if you have a LOWES or HOME DEPOT even Busy beaver, they should have pine bark mulch, but is likely too expensive by the bag. Try to locate a wood mill in your area, maybe pine bark or wood chips/sawdust is available. Also, try the soil, mulch compost site. My area has a compost dump site, maybe yours doesn't but I would try to find out. Christmas trees, fall leaves, tree trimming places may dump there and grass clippings all get put in windrows and make compost free to take. Hopefully you can find out if your township does this, and you can get free compost, or at least gather some of the materials they get dumped in their site. I get my fall leaves and pine straw there for using in compost and as mulch under my shade trees. I hope I helped you, even though I am far from you. If you have a farm supply near you in the phone book, ask them how to get these things you need. |

I'm not in your area and most of my advice won't do you a lot of good this season, but ... set aside a place to make your own compost and you don't need to buy! I get a cheap, unwanted spring hay or straw and it makes a rich compost. I add leaves, horse manure from my pasture, wood ashes and charcoal, and many other things. I double dig my beds and mix it well in, checking PH. If I must buy, I purchase cheap top soil and composted manures to mix my own. I may also add in some good potting soil so it's a three way blend but you are right, that stuff is way expensive if you need a lot of it like I do so I don't buy much of it. I also add in some of my native red clay for minerals but break it up and mix well. For mulch, I get /dump truck/ loads delivered for free from the electric company. Now mind you it's chipper shredded mixed woods, not pine bark, etc but it works great for me. I sort out larger pieces if I am using it containers around my plants and the larger bits go into the big garden or the compost pile. Some tree trimmers will also give it away for free if you call around. As noted already, there are free compost areas so check around. Probably your local Master Gardeners and any Victory Garden goers in your area will also have sources to share. |
What Ornery pony said. If per chance the horse or other manure is scarce. You may laugh at this, but.... I purchase rabbit manure from Ebay. a box is usually about 15 bucks after shipping. It is a cool manure, so you can use it without composting, or add to compost. I put some in water and let it soften and use to water some plants. It has NPK, not sure of the amount, and may depend on the food the bunnies were fed. Just a thought. You may prefer to buy fertilizer, but there are good bacteria in it, and it is natural. It's your call. It usually has more good stuff per ounce than horse or cow poo, so is concentrated, but if you can get cow/horse poo free, and in a large load, you may do better with that. |

Oh, what a weird mix I am! Heck, I've been a weird mix all my life. I like the idea of a Battle Ajah, though. However, I'm not sure I'd like males looking out for me. If my head gets chopped off, then so be it. I don't need protection! *is now wondering if Seph/anyone would mind explaining the white, grey, and red Ajahs too* Or you could tell me to stop being so inquisitive.
First off, I have to say that this protection in no way implies weakness or inferiority! Quite the reverse! The Aes Sedai are very much in control of the partnership (they can compel the Warder, although most do not). They can channel, so they have serious 'magical' abilities. But in a battle, when there is flashing steel all around, and they are standing weaving the One Power, they benefit from having someone stop any of it from piercing them. The White are philosophers, lovers of logic and truth. They to be very unemotional in their approach to things. The Grey are mediators, ambassadors and experts in law. And the Red....their purpose is to prevent another breaking of the world by hunting down men who can channel, and 'gentling' them (severing them from the Source) before they go mad from the taint on the Male half of the Source. This almost invariably kills them...slowly.
Ah, so now I know! Thank you! But... I kill? 55% of me likes murdering men? Now how accurate are my results...? (Please, don't answer!)
Choose your target wisely, then. Apparently, I like murdering men more than you do. Then again, being Black, I daresay I like murdering everyone.
Ooh, so what do the Black Ajahs do? Are they assassins or something? And yes, I would've betted that you, o one-winged angel who thinks he's blackened but isn't, would like murdering more than me. Or perhaps your hidden colour is yellow. *runs off*
Um, the Black Ajah serves the Dark One. They're assassins and more; whatever they need to be, in serving His purpose. They're not nice folk to have a cup of tea with....unless it's forkroot, of course. And please don't ask me to explain that, 'coz I won't. And I'm not yellow, you hear! *rips a Gateway with the True Power to wherever Leisha has gone*
*withdraws her twin blades* *pokes the vortex just as Seph is about to exit* And yes, I was just about to ask what the forkroot is. Hmmm... Dark One, though? Is that His name? Isn't that... clichéd? Or does he have a normal name too, like Bill? "The great and evil Dark One, Bill."
*melts the blades as he passes through* His name is Bill, yes. Or..... Shai'tan. Forkroot is tea. Drink some, it's nice.
I don't trust you, Seph. The tea is poisoned! *withdraws Mith's whip, which she accidentally forgot to return* Oh my! I forget that this is a serious thread, for a change. What will I look like, holding a whip? *hides whip out of sight* Shai'tan... I'm dubious about putting apostrophes in names; too many writers do that nowadays. I prefer Bill - it's nice and easy, and the worst man in the world shares his name, so he's in good company. Um, I'm not off topic, aren't I? *hangs head in shame* I always get sidetracked! Sorry, Talysia!
You're definitely in Ultima Thule, as far as the topic goes, although I seem to have followed you there....... Apostrophes are fine when there's a valid linguistic reason for them, but most people just throw them around to make things look 'exotic'. But in this case, since it's obviously inspired by the Arabic Shayṭān, an equivalent in the Qur'an to the Christian Devil.....it seems fair enough. Jordan's Old Tongue does use a fair few apostrophes. If they're glottal stops or something, though, where's the beef? Drink the tea!
Yes, that's my beef: when writers use apostrophes because it looks "exotic". Language doesn't work that way. Yet many authors ignore this! So now I just have an aversion to names with apostrophes in them, even if they're used correctly. ------------------------------------ Seph, you follow anyone into hijack land. You love chatting! *makes mental note never to eat or drink anything offered by Seph* What does the tea do? Would I die, or would I turn in to Paris Hilton?
I like the odd apostrophe, but I'm wary of them, for the reason you expressed. And you make me sound so undiscerning!!! That is not true!!!!! You would just sleep, nothing more. Just peaceful, relaxing sleep. Nothing so dreadful as your second option!
Just sleep, you say? Not as in the everlasting sleep? *amends mental note to "never to eat or drink anything offered by Seph if I've annoyed him, which is quite frequent"*
Just sleep, yes. *cough* And you might have a bit of trouble with your weaves until it wears off! You have never annoyed me, Dark Warrior.
And the inevitable question: What's a weave? Did I just hear a groan? Surely not, especially because I'm not annoying. Is it like "weaving the magic"?
*looks at you sarcastically* But annoyed is too strong a word, I think. You're.....challenging. And yes, weaving the One Power, which of course involves weaving one or more of the Five Elements: Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Spirit.
Ah, the One Power. Why do I get the word ring in my head when I read that? Please tell me the One Power has a common name too, like The Yarn. "...And Bill, the Dark One, weaves The Yarn, the One Power, as he creates some magical armour for his minions." Seph, are you sure you meant "challenging"? I think you should have said "challenged".
People just call it 'the Power'. The One Power is the proper, philosophical nomenclature. And no, I didn't. You are challenging the accuracy of my expressions?! You do realise you're in danger of being lynched by legions of adoring fans?! And the ring in your head, well, I can't imagine.......you like rings?
Yes, I'm awaiting the lynching. But I can't help it! I always believe in honesty, so I'm just expressing my honest opinions. Besides, debates can't happen if everybody believes the same thing. Heh - I challenge everything (EA Games, anyone ). I have an inquisitive mind. I push the boundaries of life. I go where no (wo)man has boldly gone before. I ramble. I waffle. I digress.
*groans* But yes, you have pushed the boundaries of life, and of 'on-topic posting', to their very limits!!! If everybody believed in the same thing, that'd be fine. As long as it was what I told them to believe.

Re: Crealock 37
I would counter by saying who says the PSC 37 lacks reserve buoyancy, and lacks reserve buoyancy compared to what?
Reserve buoyancy is defined as the buoyancy provided above the intact waterplane of the vessel.
So, any discussion of reserve buoyancy really has to take into consideration the design of the hullform as a whole. Crealock designed the 37 as a double-ender (aka canoe stern or cruiser stern) and in order to bring the stern back to a point requires reducing the beam as you move aft. A typical modern cruiser with a reverse transom (Beneteau, etc.) has the cutaway transom with boarding area, etc., so more of the full beam can be carried back aft, providing volume, etc.
That said, much of the cutaway on the reverse transom type hullforms can entrain alot of water, and while water can in theory enter the drain hole on the PSC propane locker, I would still consider this intact buoyancy. So, based on the overall buoyancy and potential loading curves of a PCS 37 and reverse transom, I'd say that the PCS actually has as much or more reserve buoyancy. Particularly considering that the distribution of that buoyancy on a reverse transom hullform is much further forward. Also, the additional loading of the weight aft results in "trim." "Squat" would occur as the vessel's stern is pulled down due to increasing speed or shallow water effects.
Then there's a whole bunch of other stuff on hullforms and transoms on seakeeping, speed, etc., but that's for another post.
Hope this helps.

The Disney Hollywood Studios' Star Wars Weekends promise to be as epic as the exciting trilogies. The park will now have popular characters from 'Star Wars' roaming the streets providing entertainment to visitors.
With an extra dose of 'Stars Wars' magic, die-hard fans of the Disney brand will get double the fun; however, it's only for a limited time. The 'Star Wars' characters will say their goodbyes in mid-June. I wonder if there's still enough time for me to book a trip to the Magical Kingdom, because there's nothing I want to witness more than Yoda versus Mickey.

But that breeding ice is melting: Studies have projected that the Arctic's ice may recede by as much as 20 percent by 2050, with summers being ice-free by 2037. A paper published last year in PLOS ONE found that ice cover in all harp seal breeding regions is declining by as much as 6 percent per decade. As a result, since 1991 over 3,000 harp seals have been stranded along the East Coast from Maine to North Carolina, the authors report. In 2011 alone, five seals turned up in North Carolina and Virginia.
Now, scientists at Duke University have expanded previous research on seal strandings and melting ice cover to take into account biologic factors: Is one of the sexes more vulnerable to strandings than the other? Are strandings compromising genetic diversity, producing less fit seals that are in turn more susceptible to strandings?
"This is one of the first studies in this region to analyze multiple factors: sea ice, demographics, and genetics, said Kristina Cammen, a doctoral student in ecology at Duke University and a co-author on the paper. "Previous studies have analyzed the effects of sea ice or genetics independently, but our study considered multiple factors at once."
Researchers collected skin samples from 106 harp seals that were either caught or found stranded on the United States' East Coast between 1992 and 2010. DNA was then extracted and analyzed from those skins to test for genetic variability. The stranding rates were also broken down into different demographic categories, including age and sex.
The researchers found no strong correlation between strandings and genetic diversity.
"We have shown that the genetic diversity in the population seems to be high," said Dr. Soulen. "Further research with a larger sample size would be needed to definitively determine population diversity.

One of skiing's dirty secrets: your stinky base layer. Today's high-performance materials wick away moisture, but they stubbornly retain the eau de you after a sweaty day on the slopes, even after repeat washings. Not anymore. Specifically designed to sanitize workout wear, U.S. Ski Team–endorsed Win Detergent ($7) slays the smell at the microfiber level. Your gondola-mates will thank you. windetergent.com
Made from recycled soda bottles, the Cap 3 zip-neck is Patagonia's fastest-wicking fabric. Honeycomb construction helps trap warmth, but the zip neck allows for climate control. $120; patagonia.com
Whatever you do, don't call it Underwear. That term oversimplifies what might be the most important piece of your ski wardrobe. Today's base layers are more sophisticated than ever, with countless fiber, construction, fit and weight options. Other layers can be removed, added or adjusted to accommodate climate changes, but your base layer stays put all day, so finding the right one is crucial. We suggest you invest in a few sets—one for warm, one for cold and one for downright bitter days.

Serves 4; heaping ½ cup per serving
Tender-crisp broccoli tossed with garlic, jalapeño, cumin, and lime juice is a good complement for almost any Tex-Mex entrée. If you like a lot of heat, leave the ribs and some of the seeds in the jalapeño when you make this dish.
4 cups of 1-inch broccoli florets (about 1 pound)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 medium fresh jalapeño, halved lengthwise, seeds and ribs discarded, thinly sliced
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
Put the broccoli in a medium microwaveable bowl. Microwave, covered, on 100 percent power (high) for 2 minutes, or just until tender-crisp.
Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the garlic and jalapeño for 3 minutes, or until the garlic is lightly browned and the jalapeño begins to soften, stirring frequently.
Stir the cumin into the garlic mixture. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the broccoli, lime juice, and salt.

Software updates and TUF
The Release Role
The release role is used to sign the metadata within the update system to ensure clients see a consistent state. This basically links up the signatures, the root keys, and the signed files into a cohesive package. Otherwise, an attacker could modify the metadata to cause you to download an older version, for example.
The Timestamp Role
The final role is the timestamp role, which is used to provide information on the availability of updates. Basically, you modify the timestamp file when a new update is ready and sign it to let clients know a new update is available. However, when an update is not available, how do clients know they aren't simply being fed an old version of the file? By re-signing the file frequently, the client will know that even though the file has not changed, it is still valid.
Typically, you want to re-sign the timestamp file daily – ideally, every few hours – so this activity should be automated. Again, if possible, this should be done on a server that is separate from the server on which files are then uploaded to become publicly available.
Why Metadata Matters
You might wonder why you should you be concerned about signing multiple files and metadata within the update system. Why not just create a new version of the software then sign and upload it? By supporting the signing of multiple separate files and using metadata to define updates, you can avoid situations in which your version of an application and a library cause a security vulnerability or simply don't work together. You can also prevent clients from updating a library, which then breaks the system. Additionally, this approach allows you to update separate components individually. Thus, for a large application that includes optional plugins, you can separate everything.

This peculiarly nasty combination of horror flick and biker movie concerns a brutal trio of Hells Angels from the San Francisco Bay area who attend a drunken birthday party for one of their "old ladies" in the Redwood Forest. Intruding on the orgiastic occasion are what appear to be genuine devils from hell, bloodthirsty revenants from the 1950s, who are even worse than the bikers. It's one of those movies that belongs in an incinerator rather than a cinema.

No where near the size of the JSD bulk, and I feel that would be the only down side of the JSD. There is a number of drogues on the market that take up less room, just my opinion.
Yes, a JSD may be quite bulky, but I believe that it is more effective than the other drogues, which do not have the distributed load design of the JSD. All the other drogues need to be adjusted to the match the distance between waves, to keep them "positioned" properly.
A JSD requires no such adjustment. As Don Jordan has said, it is kind of like an ejection seat for sailors, just drop it in the water and then hunker down below and hang on. There is no need to adjust the JSD for different wave conditions, as it is designed to self-adjust effectively.
The only real danger with it is the bridle for it chafing through, and if the bridle is properly designed and attached, chafe will be minimal. Chafe is a huge issue for parachute sea anchors and many of the other drogues, since the loads they generate are far more variable and larger.
BTW, you shouldn't use Polypropylene for any kind of sea anchor or drogue line, since it is by far the weakest of all the synthetic lines and also has some of the worst chafe, heat and stress resistances of any kind of line. Storm drogue and sea anchor lines need to be made of nylon IMHO... as they need to have the stretch that only nylon really provides.
One thing I will say about the JSD... retrieval of it sucks... it is a royal and complete PITA. Most other drogues, and I have used the GaleRider and another one, and the parachute-type sea anchors...are relatively simple to retreive in comparison.

The majority of Sony's US stores have reportedly cut the price of the 3G Vita by $100 to $199.97.
Employees at Sony stores in Denver, New Jersey and Las Vegas also told Joystiq that the platform holder is discontinuing the 3G Vita model.
It's unclear if the discount is a short-term offer or a permanent price cut, and whether the firm actually intends to phase out the 3G Vita, as Sony has yet to give an official line on the matter, but we've requested comment from PlayStation's UK arm.
Vita has fallen well short of Sony's expectations in its first year on the market, but Japanese Vita sales recently jumped following a Vita price cut introduced in late February. Sony told us last month it has no current plans to cut the Vita price in the UK.

A finalist in the 2003 season of Nashville Star, Grammy-winner Miranda Lambert's lively, heartfelt country rock sets toes a-tapping and eardrums abuzz with catchy Southern tunes. Strumming such well-known country songs as "The House That Built Me," and "Heart Like Mine," Lambert's virtuosic singing and guitar playing lends life to touching ballads and high-energy tunes alike, touching even the most curmudgeonly hearts and compelling weeping willows to wave their tendrils with unabashed excitement. Aural oceans wash over listeners in the Frank Gehry–designed Merriweather Post Pavilion, nestled among 40 acres of forest between Washington and Baltimore. Today's deal lets concertgoers relax with a Bud Light on the lawn, where they can watch the show beneath the open sky or whisper movie endings to clusters of furiously immobile grass stalks.
Theatre Harrisburg has always had community at its heart. Born in the "Little Theatre Movement" of the 1920s, the first place it called home was the basement of the Harrisburg Public Library. It was there that Mrs. Peters, president of the Women's University Club, gathered nine other women to discuss the creation of a volunteer-based company that could produce quality plays. And the women took action. For decades volunteers on and off the stage bounced from venue to venue putting on shows such as The Dover Road, until 1950, when it found its first home at Sixth and Hurlock in uptown. Then, in 1997, the Theatre made a commitment to be the resident company at the new Whitaker Center. Still, whether putting musicals such as The Rocky Horror Show or non-musical dramas, such as a version of Death of a Salesman with all the tap numbers taken out, Theatre Harrisburg relies on the talent of the community.
Carley's Ristorante and Piano Bar quells burning appetites for elegant flavors and family-style eating with an expansive dinner menu of shareables. Anchor incisors into The Meatball, a 12-ounce specialty studded with provolone cheese and three saucy dipping pools ($9.50), or prepare taste buds for scrumptious entrees with a variety of leafy delights, including the tuscan tossed salad with candied walnuts, goat cheese, and dried figs ($8.50+). Grain-grinding molars can chomp on mascarpone lasagna bolognese, built like an earthquake-ready skyscraper with secure layers of mozzarella, ricotta, and provolone cheeses ($13.50+). While soothing tongues with hugs of sophisticated flavors, enjoy live piano performances, including new-artist spotlights, open-mic nights, and group sing-along sessions of classic Beethoven sonatas.
Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats.
Repeatedly deemed Best Rock Club and once voted Best Drunken Hookup Bar by City Paper readers, Ottobar hosts an ongoing calendar of local and touring bands, DJs, and comedians. With bars on both floors of the two-story venue, guests can sip on mixed drinks and beers while listening to live music or pumping quarters into an award-winning jukebox. The venue also hosts special nights including spelling bees and underground dance parties, wherein guests shake their hips to the sound of shoveling.
Strand Theater Company presents original, evocative plays with an emphasis on providing women opportunities for roles as actors, directors, playwrights, and set designers. Strand's upcoming 2010–11 season kicks off with the critically acclaimed The Glory of Living (October 7–23), which relates Rebecca Gilman's visceral and complex story of a 16-year-old girl married to an ex-convict twice her age. When the holiday season arrives and families start glazing their mistletoe with a mixture of eggnog and ham essence, you can get in the spirit with A Peppermint Patty Christmas (December 2–18), which portrays a character vowing to speak the truth when she heads home for the holidays. A dramatic adaptation of Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking (February 3–19) is a compelling one-woman play, written after the loss of Didion's husband and daughter. The season wraps up with the socially minded One Flea Spare (April 21–May 7), Naomi Wallace's sharp play based in seventeenth-century England and called "one of the finest works of dramatic literature" by playwright Tony Kushner.

If federal agents were looking for a smoking gun in the Lance Armstrong doping scandal ... they were hoping it might be Sheryl Crow -- this according to a new report.
The country-singer was called in by federal agents in late 2011 and questioned about any knowledge she might have regarding accusations that Armstrong was using illegal substances ... this according to The New York Daily News.
The move to question Crow makes sense ... she dated Armstrong from 2003 to 2006 (he won 2 Tour de France titles in that time span) -- and spent lots of time with him in Europe, traveling on private jets and in other locations where, according to the report, Armstrong allegedly participated in doping programs.
It's unclear what information Crow gave during her interview ... both the Feds and her attorney declined to comment.
As you know -- the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency recently stripped Armstrong of his 7 Tour de France Titles in late August and banned him from the sport of cycling ... after he dropped his case to fight back against doping allegations.
Laird Hamilton
It's Okay
If Lance Armstrong Cheated
Surfing legend Laird Hamilton thinks it's BS that Lance Armstrong got stripped of his Tour de France titles, but not because he thinks doping is wrong ... but because everyone was doing it.
Hamilton took the unusual position when our our photog bumped into him yesterday in Malibu ... saying he believes that if everyone is cheating in a sport, then it's "still an even playing field, it's still the best guy wins."
Hamilton also said he thinks the public coming down on athletes who are found to be cheating isn't right, saying, "I think it's a little bit of hypocrisy that we think these athletes are sterile people that are eating dry toast and then they're performing at these high levels. Rocket ships need rocket fuel to go to space. Athletes need the fuel they need to do what they need to do and let's be realistic about that."
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency hit Armstrong with a lifetime ban yesterday and stripped him of his seven Tour de France titles after concluding he used performance-enhancing drugs. Armstrong maintains his innocence.
Lance Armstrong
Stripped of ALL
Tour De France Wins
Lance Armstrong is no longer a Tour de France champion ... the cyclist has been STRIPPED of his seven titles in the wake of allegations that he used banned performance-enhancers.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency made the announcement this morning ... Armstrong will not only lose his victories, he has also been banned from the sport of cycling for life.
Armstrong has adamantly denied the allegations ... claiming the testing process is "one-sided and unfair."
Lance released a statement responding to a USADA official yesterday saying, "There is zero physical evidence to support his outlandish and heinous claims."
Lance Armstrong
Banned from Triathlons
Over Doping Allegations
Lance Armstrong has been BANNED from competing in triathlons ... effective immediately ... over new allegations that he participated in a massive doping conspiracy.
According to the Washington Post, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has smacked Armstrong with formal charges ... claiming Lance and 5 of his cycling associates conspired to use and distribute illegal substances from 1998 until 2011.
The USADA claims Armstrong has been using EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, corticosteroids and masking agents.
The USADA also claims it collected blood samples from Armstrong in 2009 and 2010 that were "fully consistent with blood manipulation including EPO use and/or blood transfusions."
Now, Armstrong is firing back in a new statement .... claiming the allegations are "baseless, motivated by spite and advanced through testimony bought and paid for by promises of anonymity and immunity."
Armstrong continues, "I have never doped, and, unlike many of my accusers, I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one."
"That USADA ignores this fundamental distinction and charges me instead of the admitted dopers says far more about USADA, its lack of fairness and this vendetta than it does about my guilt or innocence."
Lance Armstrong
I'M DONE ... After 500+
Negative Doping Tests!!
Lance Armstrong is through defending himself against allegations he cheated to win his Tour de France titles ... because he says he's already given 500-600 samples that were ALL negative.
Armstrong, speaking on Gavin Newsom's new late night talk show, says he's not even arguing with people anymore who think he cheated -- "I'm not wasting any more of my time talking about it and you shouldn't waste your time talking about it. Let's move on."
Armstrong is currently competing in triathlons, and says he believes most people already made up their minds about whether he was juicing during his string of 7 consecutive Tour de France victories.
Newsom's new show premieres on Current this Friday night.

Win 7 drops sharing with Xp pc's Randomly
Hi Guys
I'm in desperate need for a quick fix here. We recently updated one of our servers to a win 7 Os, used to run xp. So we have 5 pc's running programs from this server, of whom 2pc's are still on xp and the other 3 on win 7. The problem now is that the shared files will randomly become unavailable throughout the day, and the only way to get all the people working again is to restart the Server pc. The network loctions will still appear but accessing it is the problem. I can't see why its only the xp machines having this problem. Can anyone please help with a fix for this. The only thing i have not tried yet is to format the two xp machines. Thanks heinrich |

Last night a truck lost control while exiting the Northbound 5 freeway at Lyons Avenue. According to Lt. Dunkle of the Sheriff's Department, the truck went off the off ramp, through a Burger King parking lot, and hit a propane refueling tank at a gas station.
The tank was ruptured, and so Sheriff's Deputies secured the area by shutting down both directions of Lyons Avenue between Wiley Canyon Road and the Freeway. Once the gas fully discharged from the tank, the road was re-opened.
There was no fire, and no reported injuries.
