HIV/AIDS: Symptoms include long lasting infections, diarrhea, night sweats, fever, weight loss, swollen glands, coughing and shortness of breath. Some of the effects on your health are immune system damage leading to cancer, pneumonia, brain damage and death. Chlamydia: Symptoms include itching or burning during urination, vaginal discharge, white discharge from penis, pelvic pain, or no symptoms at all. Some of the effects on your health are pelvic inflammatory disease, epididymitis, and sterility. Chlamydia can be cured with antibiotics.Genital Herpes: Symptoms include sores on penis or vagina, vaginal discharge, fever, tiredness, itching, and aches and pains. The first attack is quite painful, recurrent flare ups are less painful. Reoccurring flare ups may occur 4-7 times a year. The symptoms can be treated but there is not a cure for Genital Herpes.Gonorrhea: Symptoms include vaginal or penile discharge and burning during urination. At times you may not experience any symptoms at all. Some of the effects on your health include pelvic inflammatory disease, epididymitis, infertility and arthritis. Gonorrhea can be cured with antibiotics.Syphilis: Symptoms include sore on penis or vagina, mouth, anus or elsewhere, low fever, sore throat and other sores or rashes. If left untreated some of the effects on your health are damage to the heart, blood vessels and nervous system, blindness, deafness, insanity and death. Syphilis can be treated with medications.Genital Warts: Symptoms include genital itching, irritation or bleeding. Warts may appear as small cauliflower shaped clusters. If left untreated, warts may grow in size and number and in females may increase the risk of cervical cancer. Genital Warts can be treated (but not cured) with medications applied directly to them or with surgery to remove them.
Testing is based upon how long it takes to get a disease after being exposed. For gonorrhea it is four days, chlamydia is seven days, and syphilis is about three weeks. However, if someone has a verified exposure, they will be treated if they come into the clinic within these periods.
Urethritis is an infection in the tube of the penis. Many different germs passed during sex (including oral and rectal) can cause Urethritis. Major causes are gonorrhea or chlamydia. If no gonorrhea is found, the infection is called Non-Gonococcal Urethritis (NGU).
In a woman a Trichomoniasis (trich) infection occurs in the vagina. It often causes itching, burning and a heavy discharge. The Trichomonas germ passes between men and women during sex. Most men who carry the Trichomonas germ have no symptoms, and the only way he will find out if he has the germ is if his female sex partner tells him. A woman can be infected again if her sex partner(s) are not treated.
Oakland County can test for and treat gonorrhea, chlamydia, NGU, syphilis and trichomoniasis. Testing is available for HIV infections (AIDS) and referrals may be given for treatment. All other suspected conditions will be referred to private providers.
Know the common symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases. These are: a sore, discharge (dripping), burning, rash, severe itch, pain or swollen glands around the sex organs. Later: loss of hair or abdominal (stomach) pains.Do not have sex with someone if you or they have these symptoms. Come to the clinic or see your private provider right away if you have any of these symptoms. Limit the number of sexual partners. Have your partner(s) use condoms (rubbers) when you have sex. Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, are hightly effective in preventing transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In addition, correct and consistent use of latex condoms can reduce the risk of other sexually transmitted diseases.

I'm very happy to re-launch my website and thank you for visiting! Sure, this site is designed to provide exposure for me and keep people up to date on what I have going on, but more than anything I hope it serves as a statement that I'm not about to hide in shame. I'm here, perfectly willing to remain in the public eye.
Until I tell my story, admittedly, this site will be running at half speed and effectiveness. But fairly soon, I will provide much more and start blogging on substantive issues with the goal of raising awareness and reducing stigmas when it comes to issues that are important to me. I hope these blogs are not only informative, but thought provoking as well. I'm certainly not afraid to speak my mind these days.
Thank you again for visiting, and please come back often. I expect this thing to evolve quite nicely.

Thats another fine mess you got me into.
With those words, a suitably frustrated Oliver Hardy would chastise his comedy partner Stan Laurel.
Its a good job Ollie isnt living in Ireland at the beginning of the 21st century.
Stan and Ollie, both of them touched by genius, were comic actors; the drama unfolding before our eyes is all too real. Our modern-day Stan and Ollies, our men in the dark suits, are a different proposition altogether.
Perhaps Minister Brian Lenihan had to take the action announced this week. After all, our banking system does have to be saved although one could argue for complete nationalisation of our established major banks and for the largely wretched Anglo Irish Bank to be demolished.
Certainly we desperately need a functioning banking system and fast. So it may be that this weeks incredibly costly exercise is necessary but that doesnt mean we shouldnt feel ongoing outrage at the fine mess weve been landed in by various scurrilous mobs.
Top bankers toyed with our futures. Ordinary bank workers have nothing to do with this. But their largely faceless bosses treated us all with contempt and arrogance. Until recently, perhaps even now, they parade around some of the finest golf courses and hotel lobbies in the world while ordinary citizens parade to save our hospital services.
The Gardai finally came knocking on one of two of their doors long after many a hapless taxpayer was hauled into court for failure to pay a television licence or some such crime.
The Catholic Church betrayed its people. The vast majority of the clergy are innocent, indeed deserving of our sympathy and support at this time. But many within the Church let us down greviously. Apart from the horrendous suffering of abuse victims, it leaves a floundering flock in need of leadership and hope itself.
Our politicians dont all deserve to be condemned either, but our political system as a whole and many individuals within it has failed us miserably.
Limos brought smug ministers from one airport terminal to another; millions were thrown at useless e-voting machines; the FAS debacle; waste, waste, waste. In politics, banking and certain business golden circles, they lifted two champagne-stained fingers to the people.
On Tuesday, as we pledged billions more to our rotting banking system, some of the real architects of our state present-day pensioners turned uncomfortably on hospital trollies. Despicable really.
Brian Lenihans course of action may be correct and necessary. We can only hope that it is. But it doesnt stop us feeling outrage. Yes, we need a functioning banking system now and urgently. We need to re-build this nation. But how did it come to this? Why has this country, with its wonderful resources best of which is its people had to sign this grotesque blank cheque?
Our own modern-day Stan and Ollies have truly landed us in a fine mess but no-ones laughing.

Music scene in Baja California
Live mariachi, Cuban Son and Salsa, Banda de Sinaloa, English and Spanish Rock, classical guitar, the blues, Jazz or Latin Jazz. You can hear it all in Ensenada. I am proud of the city that for nine years has presented an International jazz festival, the last Sunday in September, and free to the public. Grateful, that my piano studying teen has the best of musical influences and teachers who are friends of mine.
I am humbled that mi amigo, Rommel Arvizu, owner of XS 92.9 fm, let's me satisfy my "Jones" for presenting African originated music on the radio. America's only indigenous, classical art form – Jazz, Blues, and all its derivatives.

We are 10,000 feet above Compton in a private jet, and Kendrick Lamar is explaining to me what happened to him yesterday, when he vanished. We had a plan: Kendrick was going to give me a guided, cue-the-G-funk-synth Star Maps tour of his neighborhood, the one he still more or less lives in, starting at his parents' house a couple of blocks from his old high school, Centennial High, near the corner of Piru and South Central. Instead, he went AWOL. The whole day, no one from his label, Interscope, or Top Dawg Entertainment, the baby Death Row Records that originally signed him, could track him down. Kendrick was gone.
It turned out he was sitting shivah for a murdered friend he calls his "little bro"—a kid from a neighborhood where friendship is defined primarily by neighborhood. A few weeks earlier, Chad Keaton, 23, had been wounded in a drive-by shooting very close to Kendrick's parents' house. He held on for a month but ultimately died of complications from the gunshot wounds.
So today, here on board this Challenger 300 seven-seater, en route to New York City's fall Fashion Week, a destination filled with people Kendrick isn't sure whether he wants to impress or fuck with, he's telling me about Chad. "It all happened when I was overseas," he says. "I had to talk to him over Skype on the hospital bed before he passed."
It's been a strange year. When it began, Kendrick was already regarded as something of a messiah among rap nerds—one of the best rappers ever to come out of the place that has produced many of the best rappers ever—and since then his legend has spread fast.
It actually began late last year, when Kendrick's major-label-debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city,dropped, to universal acclaim. The album—about a day in the life of nerdy Compton teenager K.Dot and his homeys as they run around in his mom's minivan chasing "that crazy-ass girl Sherane"—is practically a black Ulysses: a portrait of the rapper as a young man, simultaneously a drive-by deconstruction of gangster rap's violent tropes and a celebration of its signature, slow-rolling sound. On good kid, Lamar is our embedded correspondent, spitting triple-time confessionals from a part of the country most of us had forgotten once the rap scene found a fresher inner city to fetishize. He's the game's most linguistically cerebral MC, but also its realest—the one who finds the most vivid way to tell a story about his unemployed buddies trying to rope him into robbing some dude's house—and it's this polarity that makes listening to King Kendrick feel like you're putting on the illest 3-D glasses in hip-hop. The music nods at influences far beyond the West Coast—Beach House samples, Dungeon Family lushness—but throughout, his voice stays singularly focused on a twenty-block radius around Central Avenue and Piru Street:
If Pirus and Crips all got along They'd probably gun me down by the end of this song
Good kid, m.A.A.d city sold an industry-shocking 241,000 copies its first week and went platinum this summer. Then, in August, Kendrick snuck a sixty-four-bar Trojan horse into his buddy Big Sean's song "Control"—a guest spot on a song that didn't even make the final record. After Big Sean goes on for a while about drinking champagne in Detroit, Kendrick wakes up the entire hip-hop universe, calling out nearly every single young rapper in the game: Drake; A$AP Rocky; J. Cole; Tyler, the Creator; even Big Sean himself. The dude slaps Sean on his own song. He also proclaimed himself "the king of New York," which to certain East Coast ears sounded like a Greek dude strolling into Troy and dropping a deuce on the tomb of Hector.
"Control" leaked on YouTube late in the day on August 12; for a solid week, it was the biggest story in music. Just a few weeks after that, Kanye announced he was touring solo for the first time in five years and that his opening act would be Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick's career momentum has created a dissonance that must look surreal from 30,000 feet. Chad Keaton's memorial service was held just before Labor Day weekend; Kendrick attended, then flew straight to a show in Alaska. Next it was on to Vegas to perform at a pool party. He only made it "back to the set" to grieve for a single day, the day we were scheduled to talk. "It can be complicated and confusing," Kendrick says of his life right now, funerals for murdered friends one day, private jets to fashion parties the next. "From my perspective, it's not just I'm famous—I still live in this world." And when someone back home needs something, "I still gotta get that phone call."
It's clear the emotions are still raw. Kendrick is a small guy, just five feet six, and with his black hood pulled up over his head, a chain around the outside of his sweatshirt, it felt like I was talking to a wizened rap Jedi. After about an hour of questions, I gave him a break, and he lay down on the couch to rest. Just kind of curled up with his back turned.
A bit later, I saw a tweet from him to his 2.4 million followers pop up on my phone: "When the cameras stop rolling, it doesn't mean real life will follow." Instantly it had fifty-six retweets. After one minute, 600. After two minutes, 1,000. Then he tweeted a picture of Chad: "Rest N Heaven my Lil bro. Watched u become a man. U fought bro. The city stole yo life, but not your legacy."
On the night of the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, just as the heat over "Control" was peaking, I tailed Kendrick through the backstage maze at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. At one point, he ran into Drake, and they wrapped each other up in a big hug. It was their first encounter since Kendrick called him out on "Control," and of all the slaps in that verse, this one felt the most personal, because Drake had helped break Kendrick, handing the kid not just a verse but an entire song on his second album. After Drake's VMA performance of "Hold On, We're Going Home," Kendrick made his way back to the greenroom, crooning the hook: I got my eyes on you.... He caught mine and smiled. "You watch," he joked, "I'm going to be singing by my fifth album!"

So, I'm currently in the process of filling out the application and it says that I am to put down two character references. I called the office and they said that they can be relatives, so long as then don't live in the same house as I do.
My mother and father divorced about a year ago, and my father's driver's license no longer has the same address as mine.
Would using him as a reference look bad, or should I look to others? I am trying to keep the fact I'm getting a CHL very quiet considering I don't really want to broadcast to everyone that I'm going to be carrying a gun, so I'm trying to keep the people who know to a minimum.
This is for Oregon, by the way. I'll give them a call when I can, but as of now they're not picking up the phone.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Product & System Questions
What is the TASSIMO Home Brewing System?
TASSIMO is a one-cup, on-demand machine that creates an assortment of authentic coffeehouse style beverages including coffee, tea, cappuccino, espresso, latte, hot chocolate and more conveniently at home. Some of these beverages use a milk-based creamer and many are ready in about a minute.
The TASSIMO Home Brewing System works exclusively with TASSIMO T DISCs.
What is a T DISC?
The ingenious TASSIMO Disc (T DISC) was developed exclusively for use with TASSIMO brewers. Each T DISC contains an expertly measured portion of coffee, hot chocolate, tea, or shelf-stable milk creamer. When the T DISC is inserted, the TASSIMO brewer reads the unique barcode printed on the label. The code specifies beverage size, brewing time and optimum temperature required to prepare the beverage. All the brewing occurs inside the T DISC, ensuring perfect quality in every cup.
What kinds of beverages are available in T DISCs?
TASSIMO T DISCs are available in a wide range of beverages, including:
Rich Coffees: Roasted from 100% Arabica beans - Regular and Decaffeinated in a variety of roasts.
Frothy Cappuccinos and Lattes: Made by combining bold espressos and frothed milk creamer.

Click here for a complete list of stores that carry TASSIMO machines and T DISCs.
How does TASSIMO produce so many different kinds of beverages?
The TASSIMO machine works with TASSIMO Discs (T DISCs) to ensure perfect quality beverages. Each T DISC contains an expertly measured portion of coffee, tea, chocolate or milk creamer. The machine reads the barcode printed on the T DISC label and automatically adjusts the brewing conditions to prepare the perfect cup. Brewing occurs inside the T DISC and flows directly from the T DISC into the cup. You can prepare different drinks, one after the other, each of perfect quality.
How does TASSIMO use a liquid milk-based creamer?
Designed and developed by Kraft Foods, the technology of the TASSIMO Home Brewing System uses shelf-stable, liquid milk creamer T DISCs for beverages such as cappuccinos and lattes. The milk product was perfected through the extensive dairy production capabilities of Kraft Foods.
Do milk creamer T DISCs require refrigeration?
Milk creamer T DISCs are made with milk and then treated at a very high temperature, so they are shelf-stable and do not require refrigeration.
How can I make a cappuccino or latte at home?
The packages for latte, cappuccino and macchiato contain individual milk creamer and espresso T DISCs. For best results, first brew a T DISC of the milk creamer then follow with a T DISC of espresso.
Can I use other coffee pods/capsules with TASSIMO?
No. The TASSIMO brewer is designed with proprietary barcode technology and will only work with the specially designed T DISCs. Other coffee pods do not work in TASSIMO.
Is the TASSIMO machine a coffee maker?
TASSIMO is more than a coffee maker. It is a Home Brewing System that can prepare a variety of hot drinks, including coffee, at the touch of a button in about a minute.
Is the TASSIMO machine an espresso machine?
The TASSIMO machine is more than an espresso machine. It is a Home Brewing System that can prepare a variety of drinks, including espresso, at the touch of a button.
Why doesn't TASSIMO use high pressure?
The large majority of hot beverages, including a traditional cup of coffee, hot chocolate, tea and frothy hot milk creamers for cappuccinos and lattes, are not brewed using high pressure. TASSIMO uses patented technology in the T DISC coupled with an 'Intelligent' barcode reader system in the brewer to deliver a broad range of beverages. The TASSIMO technology uses a variable lower pressure pump to deliver the high quality drinks our consumers expect in all our beverages. This approach gives TASSIMO the flexibility to deliver a wide variety of excellent hot beverages from one system.
Is TASSIMO easy to use?
Yes. Simply select your cup, insert your choice of T DISC into the machine and press the button.
Do I have to use special cups with my brewer?
TASSIMO brewers have an adjustable cup stand, so you can use your favorite mug or cup to prepare the beverage of your choice.
Can I prepare different hot drinks consecutively with the TASSIMO machine?
Yes. Brewing occurs inside the T DISC and flows from the T DISC directly into your cup. You can produce different drinks, one after the other, without impacting beverage quality or taste. This makes TASSIMO perfect for entertaining or for families. Each person can select and enjoy the beverage of their choice.
How long does it take to prepare a cup?
Each beverage varies by drink size, temperature and flow rate of the water. Most beverages are ready in about 60 seconds.
Is it normal for steam to come out of the machine during brewing?
Yes. There is a steam purge at the end of the brew cycle to empty the disc. You will hear the water start to boil, then the hiss of the steam pressure will come out of the piercer as your beverage is dispensed. There may also be a slight noise when you open the brewer at the end of the brew cycle, which is the release of any residual pressure from the disc. CAUTION: To avoid risk of scalding, DO NOT OPEN YOUR BREWER UNTIL THE SOLID ORANGE LIGHT DISPLAYS. Use care when removing T DISC.
Can T DISCs be used to brew more than one cup?
No. Each T DISC is designed to prepare one perfect cup and cannot be reused. The T DISC should be removed from the brewer and discarded shortly after brewing is complete. CAUTION: To avoid risk of scalding, DO NOT OPEN YOUR BREWER UNTIL THE SOLID ORANGE LIGHT DISPLAYS. Use care when removing T DISC.
Is the T DISC packaging recyclable?
Each T DISC is designed to prepare a perfect cup and cannot be reused. The T DISC should be removed from the machine shortly after brewing and discarded. The used T DISC is suitable for energy reovery through incineration. Kraft is continuously working to reduce the environmental impact of its products, including TASSIMO products. CAUTION: To avoid risk of scalding, DO NOT OPEN YOUR BREWER UNTIL THE SOLID ORANGE LIGHT DISPLAYS. Use care when removing T DISC.
How should I clean my TASSIMO machine?
The TASSIMO machine requires very little maintenance although it is recommended to insert the re-usable cleaning disc (supplied with machine upon purchase) in the machine every seven days. The barcode reader should be cleaned with a damp soft cloth. All of the removable parts are hand washable and all, except the water container, are dishwasher safe.
What should I do if I have problems with my TASSIMO home brewing system?
The TASSIMO Home Brewing System has the quality stamp of Bosch. If you have problems with your TASSIMO Home Brewing System please call Customer Service at 1-877-TDISCS1 (1-877-834-7271) for trouble shooting or replacement of your TASSIMO beverage maker, if necessary.

If you've ever wondered if there's a product out there that lets you create a slideshow for a grandparent and burn it to a CD or DVD, you should take a look at Magix Photostory on CD & DVD 4. It brings some great 3D effects and lots of new features to give you the ability to make fun videos or slideshows. This software lets you manage a media library of images, movies, and audio and assemble them together into slideshows where you have a tremendous amount of control over transitions, effects, music and text. For around $39, you don't need to be a professional to pick up a copy.
Photostory can pretty much handle all of your images from multiple sources and it supports all of the common formats (jpg, bmp, gif, tif, etc.). You can add single images or directories of images that you've transferred to your computer from your digital camera. Photostory is also TWAIN compatible, so you can scan items directly into the program.
There are also many ways to fix, enhance, and manipulate your images. To optimize, you can adjust the auto-exposure/color, correct red-eye and adjust the white balance of images. If you're not quite happy with the image, you can adjust sharpness, change colors, adjust image detail and rotate images. There are 10 effects that can be applied with one click. Effects include softening, sharpening, and conversion to black and white. One nice thing is that even if you apply a whole slew of effects, the original files are left unchanged. Photostory just keeps track of the effects and edits and applies those to the original file. Photostory automatically adjusts the image resolution for optimal viewing in a slideshow and will warn you if the image has too little resolution for the display target (TV).
Optimization settings
Plenty of on-screen help and tips pop up to help you with various tasks. While creating a slideshow, you can apply 3D effects (like a flying heart) to transitions (or any one of the other 60 presets). If you want to add some movement, you can zoom in to a region of the picture, zoom out from a section of the picture, or pan across the picture. If you want to apply text to a slide, Photostory includes 30 templates to get you started.
Adjust the horizon of off-kilter images
Dialog for "camera" movement during the slideshow
When you're ready to burn your slideshow (to CD, Video CD, Super Video CD, DVD, or miniDVD), you can use any of 50 templates for intros, menus, backgrounds, navigation buttons, and 3D titles. You can also build your own menus.
If you don't want to burn your slideshow to optical media, Magix provides a free site that lets you view the slideshow online with music. If you like a particular image, you can order a print, calendar, t-shirts, etc.
A "4 track" storyboard allows you to arrange your images, effects, text and audio along a timeline.
For a full list of features, see the Magix Photostory on CD & DVD 4 functions page.
User Experience
After installation, I jumped right into the program without really taking a look at the manual. I find that it's a good test to see how intuitive it is. In a new project, the first step is to choose and import the photos that you'd like to use. If you can't find everything that you want to put in, you can always add it later.
The next step is to add your images to the Storyboard pane along the bottom. Feel free to add, remove, and rearrange. Once you have all your images set, you can start adding those touches that really make a slideshow. I started with some titles. You can access the Title Editor by either double-clicking on the slide or clicking the "Title Editor" button (see on screenshots above), or by clicking the "Text" button on the slide.
My next step was to work on transitions. You can again just double-click the slide, or you can click the "A/B" icon that joins each slide together.
Movement settings (zooming in or out on a section of the image, panning) and image optimizations/enhancements are applied in the same way.
Once you're all done, you're ready to output your slideshow. If you want to just export as a movie file, you can export as an AVI, Windows Media, Quicktime, Real Media, MPEG, or Magix video. These options are available in the File menu.
If you want to burn your slideshow and send it off to your grandparents, click the "Make Disc" tab on the top right of the interface. Your first step is to choose any menus (like you see on movie DVDs), and any other Text, Borders, Backgrounds, etc. Once you're set here, click one of the buttons on the right to burn for TV, PC, or High Definition Photoshow. The Burn Dialog is presented, and you're off to the races.
There were a couple places where the program needs a little polish, but nothing that affected the functionality. Don't worry if you see some misspellings or non-English words. For instance, when you click the "Make Disc" tab, there is a button on the left of the screen with the word: "Backgorund". If you click the "Advanced" button in the Quicktime export dialog, you will see a button labeled "Abbrechen" instead of "Cancel. Like I said, it's nothing serious, but just one of those things that happens with software.
As I was writing this, it dawned on me: I'm taking all these screenshots of the software, why don't I create a slideshow about Photostory with Photostory? So, I put together a show of 9 slides that lasts 1 minute and 18 seconds and exported them as a Windows Media file. It's surely no work of art, but I hope it shows how easy it is to use the software.
Photostory Demo - WMV file - 640x480 - approx 14 MB
Magix Photostory on CD & DVD 4 is a great program for transforming your images into fun slideshows. The software is intuitive to use, easy to learn, and the multitude of output options provides great value to someone who loves to relish in their ever-growing library of images. A slideshow CD or DVD also makes a great gift for new grandparents. The best part about the software is that it won't break the bank. For $39, Photostory is very reasonably priced for even beginning or amateur photographers.

PHOENIX -- The U.S. Navy Parachute Team, the Leap Frogs, took 3TV's Javier Soto for a ride in a C-130 Tuesday morning.
While Soto wasn't allowed to jump with them, he, along with Bruce Haffner in the Fort McDowell Casino News Chopper, had a unique perspective on the show the four-man team put on as they jumped from the C-130 and landed on the field at Peoria Sports Complex.
Really, there are no words to describe it, so watch the video above to see for yourself. It's well worth your time.
Javier Soto shared his experience from inside the C-130.

Back in the early '90s, Dave Fick, Hills, MN, hosted a Missouri farmer who scoffed at the way Fick and his fellow Minnesotans harvested alfalfa hay.
"He laughed and said it was ridiculous," Fick recalls. "He said, 'First, you windrow hay after cutting it and leave it in the windrow on top of wet ground. Ten days later, you wonder why the hay is still wet. Why don't you use a tedder and spread the hay out of the windrow so it will dry?'"
For the next few years, the Missouri farmer's critique stuck like a barb in Fick's brain as he struggled with wet windrowed hay. Six years ago, Fick bought a tedder to solve his wet hay woes.
Tedding speeds the curing process by fluffing hay and spreading it over the original swath width.
"The ground is drier where there isn't a windrow," says Fick. ""Tedding spreads the hay out over that dry area for faster dry-down."
Estimates vary, but tedding can shave one-half to one day off a three- to five-day normal curing period.
"It's not a panacea by any means," says Mike Collins, University of Kentucky agronomist. "But there are cases when even a small reduction in curing time is enough to allow a producer to put up a field of hay that otherwise would be subjected to rain."
Tedding is best-suited for the first alfalfa cutting, since it's often the thickest and wettest cutting of the year.
"The need for tedding may be less for the second and third cuttings," says Collins. "Since those crops tend to be lighter, the thickness of the swath will be less."
Leaf loss is the biggest drawback of tedding alfalfa. If too much time passes between cutting and tedding, leaves dry and break off. Fick teds within two hours after cutting.
Leaf loss is minimal if tedding is done shortly after cutting, adds Alan Rotz, a USDA-ARS ag engineer in University Park, PA. In his studies, just 1% of the leaves were lost when alfalfa was tedded at 70-80% moisture. At 50% moisture, leaf loss was 2-3%. Below 30% moisture, leaf loss climbed to 10%.
"Fifty percent is as low as you want," Rotz says. "Below 50%, the leaves on top of the swath get brittle and will shatter when hit with the tedder."
Collins recommends against tedding during the afternoon, regardless of moisture content.
"Even if the crop has quite a bit of moisture, the top leaves in the swath may be dry and the leaves may be brittle," says Collins. "If you ted in the morning, the leaves are not as brittle."
Tedding does require that Fick make an extra trip across the field with a 40-hp tractor at 5-6 mph.
"But the quality increase you get by avoiding rainfall is worth it," he says. "Rain will humble you at times."

Simon Cowell has revealed that he has signed record producer Labrinth to his Syco Music label, says a report.
The producer, real name Timothy McKenzie, is the first appointment to his staff who does not have an affiliation to one of the media mogul's reality TV shows.
Labrinth is best known for his work on Tinie Tempah's track `Pass Out' which topped the charts in March.
He is currently collaborating on music projects with JLS and Pixie Lott and is scheduled to be working with Cheryl Cole later this year, says Digital Spy.
It is believed that the deal will see Labrinth as head of Odd Child/Syco Music, an imprint label which will seek out new talented acts for development.
Meanwhile, Alexandra Burke recently revealed that Simon Cowell has discovered the source of the leaks at the record label.
The former X Factor winner has had a number of tracks leaked to the internet in advance of their release date.
Cowell was reportedly forced to call in the FBI to investigate the internet piracy after more than 40 tracks from his Syco artists were leaked online.
Alexandra told the Star Observer that the alleged culprits were two teenage lads who were on work experience at the label.
She explained: "24 songs of mine got leaked recently, actually.
"We found out it was coming from my label...two little boys in Germany on work experience were leaking all my s**t."
She added: "It's a shame when music gets put out there when it's not ready, but at the end of the day, it creates buzz and who doesn't love a bit of buzz?"

Awesome time!
February 20, 2015
The manager and staff were excellent. The pool, grilling area, and breakfast bar was incredible. We will definitely be returning to this property.
Great Value and Comfort!
February 18, 2015
We have a large family and it's difficult to find suites. We were so thrilled to stay in one suite being we have children and our grandmother who all travel together. The only problem was the pool was closed for maintenance and the kids always want to swim no matter what time of year it is. Other than that all was WONDERFUL and we would stay there again. Excellent customer service!
Great Hotel
February 11, 2015
This was my first time ever staying at a Staybridge. It was great. Everything exceeded my expectations. Staff was amazingly friendly and sweet. The only thing that kind of bothered me was the sofa in the room; it looked a little out of date; however, that was the only thing.....the good outweighed the bad. I will defiantly stay again in the future.
Komfortables Bett und gutes Essen
February 10, 2015
Sehr ruhiges Zimmer mit einem komfortablen Bett und guten Kissen. Zimmer war sehr sauber, sehr ruhig und großzügig vom Platz. Personal war sehr freundlich. Den nächsten Aufenthalt buche ich definitv wieder hier.

Peter James' inquest hears how metal plate hit his head
A maintenance engineer died after being hit on the head by a metal plate which was sent flying by an explosion, an inquest has heard.
Peter James, 67, was part of a team carrying out work in a boiler room at the Cantelo Nurseries in Isle Abbotts, near Taunton, on 11 May 2010.
The inquest in Wells was told an explosion sent a metal inspection plate flying through the air.
Mr James died in hospital six days after being struck.
What is obvious is that something went terribly wrong back in May 2010 when a team of men were carrying out maintenance work in the boiler room at Cantelo Nurseries.
While metal inspection plates were being removed, one of them flew off under high pressure.
It became clear during the inquest that Cantelo Nurseries was in the process of changing the water system to one pressurised by nitrogen rather than air.
It had called in a Dutch firm of specialists for advice, but none of those specialists were in the room when the explosion occurred.
And those who were in the room said they had little or no knowledge of how the system worked.
The inquest heard Cantelo Nurseries was in the process of changing its water system and had called in a team of specialists for advice.
Marcin Joroski, a Polish national who was one of the labourers working on the water tank which exploded, told the hearing he had not had any training in the water system.
He said the day of the accident was the first day he had been in the boiler room.
Another worker, Radislav Dimitrov, broke his arm when the metal plate hit him.
He told the inquest he could remember being knocked to the floor then looking up and seeing two people lying on the ground covered in blood.
Mr James' family say they hope someone will be held accountable.
The inquest is set to last three days.

Get Inspired: Q&A with Deepak Chopra
Gain insight about life from this bestselling author
By Crystal Tate
Special Offer
The expert on mind-body connection shares his insight on meditating, letting go of expectations and following your passion
Crystal Tate: I follow you on Twitter. Do you actually tweet everything yourself?
Deepak Chopra: Yeah, on my BlackBerry, and I love it! Sometimes I'll ask myself, "If you can't say it in 140 characters, why bother?" And then I'll say, "Why am I writing all of these books?" The other day, somebody asked me on Twitter, "I want a fulfilling relationship. How do I find the right person?" And I tweeted back, "If you want a fulfilling relationship, stop looking right now for the right person and become the right person." And people started re-tweeting that all over the place. It was just amazing to see how a little idea can become a meme and then infect the collective consciousness. It's wild.
CT: So how do you find time to tweet, write over 55 books and do everything else? You're a pretty busy guy.
DC: Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment. People who constantly say, "I don't have time," their biological clock speeds up. So it's an attitude, you know? I have all the time in the world. I am in touch with the timeless. I am surrounded by infinity. When I think like that, it doesn't mean I'm going to miss my train, it just means that I'm not thinking about it right now because I'm speaking to you.
CT: That's a very interesting point. So I know there has to have been at least one time in your life where you felt like you didn't have enough time to do something. Has anything like that ever happened?
DC: When I was in my residency and I was training as an internist, I was going through a crisis where I was rushing and seeing too many patients and not having time to actually give them any attention. So one day I told myself that I'm not doing that anymore because I'm not taking care of them and I'm not taking care of myself, and if I'm not taking care of myself, how am I going to take care of anyone else?
CT: I was reading your new book, Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul, and you mentioned how you created a routine to survive the grind of traveling while on your book tour. One day, no part of the routine went well and afterward you realized that you could have enjoyed the day more if you had approached it without any expectations. Could you tell us more?
DC: That particular day taught me the following lesson: When things don't seem to go your way, let go of your idea of how they should be, trusting that you don't move the big picture. So many things happen for every event, and if you try to manipulate it, it means you are struggling against the whole universe, and that's just silly. If you just let go of your idea of how things should go, then you flow with the moment. It's your choice, what you do with that moment. If you're stuck in a traffic jam, you can get angry and honk your horn, or listen to Mozart. But when you have a very specific expectation of how things should be, then, of course, you end up hurting yourself.
CT: You're a big proponent of meditation. How does one begin and why do you feel it's important?
DC: People think meditation is a huge undertaking. Don't think of it like that. I, of course, meditate for two hours every morning. It's part of my schedule; I wake up at 4 a.m. every day and I love it. That's why I do it. But I think for the average person, if you can sit quietly with your eyes closed and watch your breath for 10 or 15 minutes without trying to manipulate it, just watch it, and then shift your attention to your heart and just mentally repeat a few words like peace, harmony, laughter or love for a few minutes—that 15 minutes of quieting your internal dialogue will make your day more enjoyable. You will be more rested. You will be more centered. It is a way to get in touch with your own self.
CT: What advice, if any, would you give your younger self?
DC: Always go with your passions. Never ask yourself if it's realistic or not. The people who do the most extraordinary things in the world are never "realistic." They're passionate. They trust themselves. They feel true self-esteem, which means they are not dependent on other people's opinions for what they should or should not do. Also, they trust their instincts, and they know how to express their unique skills and talents. Whatever you are passionate about, there is some skill associated with it and there's some service associated with it. Go for it, and don't worry about the money all the time.
Deepak Chopra's latest book, Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul, is in bookstores now.

As explained earlier, the exact types and frequency of interventions performed by nurses across different setting of care have not been quantified. However, it is consistently observed that administration of medication—oral, enteral, intrapleural, parenteral, topical, or through a ventricular reservoir (McCloskey and Bulechek, 2000)—is the most frequently performed physiologic therapeutic intervention (Bulechek et al., 1994).
Illness is accompanied by a loss of functioning with a variety of manifestations and with varying degrees of debilitation. Loss of functioning and resulting dependency can range from mild temporary weakness and malaise that accompanies the flu; to a temporary acute loss of strength and capacity to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) (i.e., bathing, dressing, eating, or other personal care activities) after major surgery; to a temporary inability to perform essential life functions, such as breathing, eating, or moving, as a result of more serious illnesses or injuries; to permanent disabilities, such as paralysis of extremities.
Most of the services provided by nursing staff in long-term care organizations (both institutional and home and community based) are designed to minimize, rehabilitate, or compensate for the loss of independent physical or mental functioning, and include assistance with basic ADLs (Stone and Wiener, 2001). An ethnographic report by an investigator who worked for 13 months as an NA to obtain an insider's view of NAs' work experiences found that NAs' day shift tasks can be categorized as follows: (1) getting patients in and out of bed; (2) providing food services, especially feeding; (3) checking patients for incontinence and making and cleaning beds; (4) shaving patients; (5) walking to and from the linen closet; (6) helping patients shower; and (7) performing miscellaneous tasks, such as rinsing dirty linen and fixing sinks. NAs spent the most time helping patients shower; followed closely by providing food services, and checking, making, and cleaning beds (Henderson, 1994).
More telling than the official tasks performed by NAs, however, is their unofficial work. For example, Henderson (1994) found that each aide knew a great deal about the personal habits of the residents, which allowed care to be individualized and rendered more efficiently. These details included such things as removing a napkin from the tray of a resident who could feed herself but was known to eat paper, or placing a juice glass on the left side of a tray to make the glass more visible and accessible to a stroke patient (Henderson, 1994).
RNs also perform these types of activities, as well as activities intended to prevent further deterioration (e.g., fall prevention)—typically when they are providing care to a hospitalized patient who has more acute health care

Introducing More Members of the Shadowy Blogging Group
From nearly the very beginning, I envisioned The Sundries Shack as a place into which I could eventually invite other writers to share the space I'd created. Today, I get to share not just one, but two very good writers with you all.
I've asked Tami Nantz and Amelia Hamilton to join The Sundries Shack as guest bloggers. Tami is the founder of the Moms 4 Sarah Palin blog and the Blogger Outreach Coordinator for Smart Girl Politics. Amelia is the acclaimed author of One Nation Under God: A Book for Little Patriots and a regular contributor to Misfit Politics. They will write pretty much as they please about whatever they please, just like I do. I'm beyond pleased they will lend their considerable writing talents to my blog.
Tami has already written a couple posts and Amelia will come along as her work and writing schedule allows. We'll have more detailed bios up a bit later (and my bio will undergo a major overhaul as well). In the meantime, enjoy the new posts and keep your browser pointed here for more.

Hey... I am just lurking I guess. I don't have a "big family" yet. I am pregnant with girl #3... and we thought for sure this was it. We weren't really trying this time, and it just happened. We'd had plans to for DH to get the V after this one but after some conversation we *may* want to try for #4 one day... still unsure at this point. But my question is, is anyone here a member of a big family and both parents work? I have never been a SAHM, so I don't know what it's like financially, but I wonder if I'd have to stay home if we ever did have a 4th. Obviously this is years away for us, as I haven't even popped out #3 yet... but you know how us girls are always thinking! :)

The East Anglian Air Ambulance helicopter was called to Mundesley on Wednesday.
Alex Hurrell, Reporter
Wednesday, March 6, 2013
A woman in her 80s was airlifted to hospital from Bacton yesterday after becoming unwell.
East Anglian Air Ambulance crew Dr Chris Smith and critical care paramedic Mark Milsom were flown to the scene and landed on the beach nearby.
The patient was treated at the scene before she was airlifted to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Her condition is described as stable.
The air ambulance also went to the aid of a woman in her 90s following a "medical episode" in North Walsham.
The crew assisted the land ambulance staff who were already with the patient before she was taken, by road, to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital for further treatment. Her condition is unknown.

Day's Best: Donating sports gear for a cause
Posted By DP Opinion On September 10, 2012 @ 4:41 pm In Aurora theater shooting,Day's Best,Wildfire | No Comments
It was heartwarming to see the amount of sports gear [2] collected in an event to benefit victims of the Colorado wildfires — some 25,000 pieces of equipment.
The event was the idea of Jessica Ghawi, one of 12 people killed in the Aurora theater shooting that also left 58 wounded.
Ghawi, an aspiring sports journalist [3], came up with the sports gear donation idea before she died as a way to help kids return to normalcy after the fires.
The hockey sticks, volleyballs and other donated gear will be distributed to fire victims this weekend at Coronado High School, a fitting legacy for someone who found such joy in sports.

Gluten-Free Garlic Chive Rooster Comb
Social Media Sharing
This pasta is currently 20% OFF (normally priced at $7.25) in honor of our Wednesday Recipe of the Week, which is a slight twist on a fabulous recipe from the book Melt: The Art of Macaroni and Cheese by Stephanie Stiavetti & Garrett McCord.
This gluten-free pasta was created because of the overwhelming popularity of our Garlic Chive Pappardelle and Sea Shells. We infused these rooster combs with fresh garlic and chive, creating pasta that is bursting with flavor.
Please note that our gluten-free pastas take a little longer to cook than traditional pasta – about 14-16 minutes.
We designed our GF pasta to be the best available anywhere, but you should know that it is made on a dedicated production line in the same general area as our gluten-based products. We believe our efforts to isolate our GF pasta have been successful as many Celiacs and gluten sensitive individuals have enjoyed our GF pasta since 2010, and we have independent lab test confirming non-detect of gluten at 10 ppm. But if you are very sensitive to gluten, you should take into account that our facility is non-dedicated. For more information about this, click here.

Hi everyone,
sorry i originally posted this in the KA forum but thinking some of you may not have seen it there.
Right, i have an '09 Ka and have replaced the CD player in it with a new Kenwood headunit. However, it doesnt work as i dont have the correct ISO connector yet! Has anyone changed the headunit in a new ka yet?? surely im not the only person in the uk to have changed the head unit?!? Does anynone know what iso connector i need?
Please dont suggest going to halfrauds...have done this and they're useless...dont stock or order in the one i need. People have said i dont actually need an iso connector but after looking 56,000 times (to make sure im not going insane) i DO need an iso connector.
Anyway any help/advice would be really useful as im slowly going insane driving around in silence.....
thanks guys

I am writing in response to the 40 Days for Life article printed on the front page of the Winona Daily News on Saturday, March 23. I was one of the persons quoted in the article and although I was happy with most of what the reporter chose to use from his interview with me, I need to clairify the two words he used that did not come from me.
In the article, it was written that I said Semcac was chosen because it is a delegate of Planned Parenthood which provides emergency contraception. The reporter took it upon himself to use the words emergency contraception, (his words, not mine) and in doing so I feel he altered the meaning of what I intended to convey. My words to the reporter were, that the morning after pill given out by Semcac can cause an early abortion.
It is a scientific fact that if a women ingests the morning after pill (called Plan B) after fertilization has taken place, the lining of her uterus can be altered causing the womans body to reject the living human embryo, making implantation impossible and the child will die. This result is called a chemical abortion. The public is being misled in calling it emergency contraception. Potential users of the morning after pill are not told that this drug may abort an established pregnancy. This is not informed consent.
Check out this three-minute video that explains how the Birth Control Pill can also be an abortifacient and kill your preborn baby without you even knowing.

We could count on almost universal support back then, because everyone understood the environment we were in. We'd just been hit by a foreign enemy – leaving 3,000 Americans dead, more than we lost at Pearl Harbor. In Manhattan, we were staring at 16 acres of ashes. The Pentagon took a direct hit, and the Capitol or the White House were spared only by the Americans on Flight 93, who died bravely and defiantly.
Everyone expected a follow-on attack, and our job was to stop it. We didn't know what was coming next, but everything we did know in that autumn of 2001 looked bad. This was the world in which al-Qaeda was seeking nuclear technology, and A. Q. Khan was selling nuclear technology on the black market. We had the anthrax attack from an unknown source. We had the training camps of Afghanistan, and dictators like Saddam Hussein with known ties to Mideast terrorists.
These are just a few of the problems we had on our hands. And foremost on our minds was the prospect of the very worst coming to pass – a 9/11 with nuclear weapons.

Re: The Official Married Names Thread
Some information on the German tennis-playing Weihermann sisters, all of whom were born in Frankfurt. They were the daughters of Siegmund Weihermann and Ida Scheidt, natives of Kitzingen and Frankfurt respectively. There were four daughters. The eldest, Lotte (b. 1891) does not appear to have played tennis, at least not competitively. She was a medical doctor by profession and spent most of her life living and working in England.
The next daughter, Ilse (b. 1893), was the top German tennis player of the early to mid-1920s. Her husband's name was either Karl or Erich. They had one child, a boy, who died age 12 (circa 1931); they separated afterwards. Circa 1938 Ilse Friedleben and her mother left Germany to live in London, where Ilse worked a tennis coach for a time.
The third daughter, Toni (b. 1895), also played competitive tennis and taught the sport too. She married a businessman, Paul Richter. He ran an export business in Trinidad. Toni is probably the Frau Richter mentioned in some Continental tennis results in the late 1920s/early 1930s.
The fourth daughter, Anna (b. 1897), also played tennis competitively and was a tennis teacher too. She married twice. With her first husband she had two children, with whom she later emigrated to the United States where she married her second husband.
It appears that the Weihermanns were Jewish, so it is probably not surprising that the daughters and their mother ended up living outside Germany.
