Officer Stephen Stem was dismissed from the Hearne Police Department on Saturday after the city council voted 6-0 to take disciplinary action against him, said Jessica Vega, Hearne Police Department communications supervisor. Stem was advised by his attorney not to attend the council meeting, according to CNN affiliate KBTX. Just WatchedTexas police shoot woman, 93replayMore Videos ...Texas police shoot woman, 93 00:48PLAY VIDEOIn the meantime, Texas Rangers continue the investigation into why Pearlie Golden, a longtime resident in this small town of about 4,600 people, was shot multiple times at her home Tuesday.A man believed to be a relative of Golden's made a 911 call asking for help from police, Robertson County District Attorney Coty Siegert said. "What I understand is (Hearne police) were called out because a woman was brandishing a firearm," Siegert said. "An officer asked her to put the handgun down, and when she would not, shots were fired."Hearne City Attorney Bryan Russ Jr. said Stem told Golden to drop her weapon at least three times.Stem fired three times, and Golden was hit at least twice, he said.She was transported to a local hospital, where she died.The Hearne Police Department placed Stem on administrative leave pending the inquiry."We're very saddened by this. Everybody in the city government is deeply disappointed that this lady was killed," Russ said. "Now, the investigation is out of our hands. It's under the Texas Rangers, which is where we want it to be."According to police, the Texas Rangers have a revolver believed to have been in Golden's possession at the time of the shooting.Community members told CNN affiliate KBTX that Golden, known affectionately as "Ms. Sully," was a sweet woman."Even if she did have a gun, she is in her 90s," Lawanda Cooke told KBTX. "They could have shot in the air to scare her. Maybe she would have dropped it. I don't see her shooting anyone."In a statement released to CNN affiliate KBTX on Friday, Stem's attorney Robert McCabe said he is "fully confident that Officer Stem's actions were immediately necessary and legally justified" and plans to meet with Stem next week to discuss his job termination.The case will eventually be presented to a grand jury, which is standard procedure when dealing with officer-involved incidents, Russ said."I would expect people to be upset about this, a young police officer shooting a 93-year-old lady," Russ said. "I'm upset about it. Most of our citizens are upset, but at the same time I don't believe all the facts have come to the surface yet."Parents doubt official account of how their son was shot by officer'We called for help and they killed him'More from usFederal judge shot in apparent robbery attempt in DetroitFamily drowns while vacationing in Dominican Republic Lights out for San Francisco's Bay BridgePowered by Livefyre

in one application I have a lot of dirrerent object, let´s say : square, circle, etc ... a lot of different shape ---> I´m sorry for the trivial example.
With all this object I want to create a doc of different type : xml, txt, html, etc.. (e.g.: I want to scan all the object (shapes) tree and produce the xml file.
The natural approach I thought is visitor pattern, I tried and it works :-)
- all the objects have one visit method accepting the IVisitor interface.
- I have one concrete visitor for every kind of do I want to create : (XmlVisitor
, TxtVisitor
, etc). Every visitor has one method "visit" for every kind of object.
My doubt is ... it doesn´t seems scaling well if I have a lot of object ... from the logic point of view it´s ok, i have just to add the new shape and the method in the concrete Visitor, that´s all.
What do you think ? is an althernative possible ?

"It's not a case of some songs being recorded entirely in one city or the other," Greenhalgh explains. "All the songs have elements that were recorded in both, depending on where people live. All the bass, violin, and some piano and guitar were done in London and put together with the drums, vocals, et cetera, through the miracle of modern technology, like Pro Tools and hard-disk recording, in Chicago. We couldn't afford to get the band all in the same place."
Journey to the End of the Night ultimately may be considered one of the best works in the Mekons' voluminous catalogue, and Greenhalgh concurs that everything seemed to click with this one. "Each Mekons album is a unique project in its own right, in terms of its particular ambition, structure, and aims," he says. "Journey, I think, picks up on a lot of themes that have been explored over the years and puts them together in different ways. I'm personally very pleased with it, in that I think it is the record we set out to make, which is not always the case."
With a formula that most bands would find maddeningly fragmented, the Mekons have managed to find greater success as a group separated by an ocean yet bound together tightly in a creative pursuit they all believe in with the same vigor and passion that brought them together in Leeds in 1976. By any yardstick the Mekons' legacy is easily one of the true marvels of the modern age of rock and roll.

Man killed in crash on main Cumbrian road
Last updated at 14:23, Thursday, 13 December 2012
A man has been killed in an accident on a main Cumbrian road.
The male pedestrian, aged 53 and believed to be local, died at the scene of the crash, which happened at about 5.30pm on Tuesday, on the A66 at Braithwaite, near Keswick.
Police are trying to trace his family.
The road was closed in both directions between the B5292 near Braithwaite and the B5291 near Wythop Woods.
A diversion was in place through the village of Thorthwaite.
The road was closed until 11.40pm to allow the police to investigate the cause.
They were looking at whether ice may have been a factor in the crash. Icy conditions were last night reported on roads across the county.
Four drivers are helping police with their inquiries. No arrests have been made and their vehicles are undergoing examination by collision investigators.
Anyone who saw the crash should call PC John Firth, of the Western Roads Policing Unit, or Sergeant Jo Walker, of the Northern Roads Policing Unit, on 101.

"Love how the backings of each card in the suite is different BUT compliment each other. Love this idea and that is one reason I chose this suite!"
"As with the matching invitation, the response card is also printed on textured paper (standard). We were not offering dinner options as we are having a family style dinner, therefore, we were able to get rid of the dinner options. I customized the response card and WPD was able offered formatting suggestions."
"I love that I was able to add a quote at the bottom and a black & white photo on the back. It gave it that personalized touch that I wanted. Looks great in matte finish and font is so pretty but somewhat hard to read. I recommend either using a big font size or going with a more legible font, maybe using numbers for the date instead of just words. I paired this with the silver pearl envelope which went perfectly with the rest of my invites."
"This card was perfect. I didn't have a food option. So I changed it and guests were able to add a song. The designer made it look perfect! It was definitely customized to my wants and need. The customized color, blush, is beautiful! I added the pearlized finish for the paper, and was shocked at the beauty. I love this foil design. I got the invitations, enclosure card, and this card. I was so happy with the design of my invitations! I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!"
"The presentation of this RSVP is immaculate its what you want for an rsvp !! the paper isn't too thick but thicker than your average paper! very happy with the outcome of this rsvp. Might i add I'm very hard to please !! so overall so happy !! Glad i got them done here!!"

Lengthy process. They took a very long time to contact me.
Interview Questions- None. Be honest Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsN/aAccepted Offer - Interview Details
I submitted my resume to the volunteer specialist who was tasked to find and interview interns each semester. Keep in mind an internship with the local Red Cross chapter is NON-PAID (but a summer internship at the ARC headquarters in Washington, D.C. is paid)
It was a quick process. In one week the volunteer specialist contacted me for an interview, I went to do the interview, and they hired me two days later.They are looking for college students that are good at what they do (whether it's in finance, communication, outreach, or casework), but are also motivated by the mission statement of "alleviating human suffering" and want to make a difference in the community. If you only care about money, the Red Cross isn't the company for you.Interview Questions- 1) Why do you want to intern at the Red Cross?
2) Do you have a desire to continue to volunteer with us after the internship is over?
3) What drives you everyday at work? Answer Question

Declined OfferEasy Interview - Application Details
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at American Red Cross in February 2015.
Interview DetailsI applied online. A week or so later was contacted by email to give availability for a phone screening. The recruiter set up a time for us two days later. The phone screening was a few standard questions like why I applied for this job and we talked a little about my work experience. She told me the starting pay, details about the orientation process, and basics about the job. The woman was very very nice. She then set me up for an interview for the next week with the management of the department. I also then had to fill out another application online. The face to face interview was very standard. The interviewer was very nice as well and she told me all about the job the good and bad. She had a piece of paper with a list of questions and we went throught them, very easy. I asked her a couple of questions and then she gave me a tour of the lab. She told me everything there is to know about the position and informed me of the orientation dates. All I have to do is contact the recruiter if I wanted to continue with orientation and/or if had any questions.
Interview Questions- None. Very very basic questions. Practice and you'll be golden. Answer Question
Reasons for DecliningThe facility seemed to be very organized and well managed. The pay was a little too low. Not much negotiation room. Very repetitive duties for that position. I would become bored. I want a job where I can be more creative.

I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at American Red Cross in February 2015.
Interview DetailsSpent most of the time asking me about very specific job requirements that weren't even on the job posting description then was told I probably wouldn't advance because I didn't have these? If they were so critical then why aren't they on the job posting? What a waste of our time. Now I can see why they have bad employee reviews on GlassDoor. SMH
Interview Questions- Why do you want to work for the American Red Cross? What is your experience in this specific area of your field (that wasn't on the job posting)? What is your experience with this particular software (that wasn't on the job posting)? You probably won't advance to the next round. Bye. Answer Question

They moved very quickly. Phone and face interview in 1 week and offered the position the following week. The process was simple and easy to maneuver through. However, HR was ver difficult to contact to answer questions.
Interview Questions- All questions were typical behavioral questions. Answer Question
Accepted Offer - Interview Details
I started by filling out the online application, which was followed by a phone "interview." The phone interview was more of a screening process; are you willing to travel, are you ok with unexpected events, etc. That was followed about a week later by an email which gave me 24 hours to fill out another online application which was a bit more detailed, and gave them permission to conduct a background and reference check. After I filled that out, I received a call two days later, by the recruiter, asking me if I would be willing to accept a certain salary for the position, knowing what my stated requirements were from the interview. If I had said yes, that would lead me to a second phone interview with a hiring manager for the position. Because the amount offered was significantly less than I am currently making, I turned the position down at that time.
Interview Questions- Everything was pretty basic. How do you deal with change, what is your most recent accomplishment, are you willing to travel... Answer Question
Reasons for DecliningThe salary that was being offered was not commensurate with the job description in my opinion, as well as being less than I was currently making.

Interview DetailsI applied through their online system. Note: They do not require a cover letter, just a resume. I got a call a week later to schedule a phone screening with a recruiter. The recruiter was very kind and straightforward. She explained the position and asked for salary requirements, as well as making it very clear what the position entailed and continuing to check whether I was still interested in moving forward. She immediately scheduled an in-person interview for the following week. The in-person interview was with the head of the department. Very kind and accomplished woman, the type of person you would want to be your boss.The interview lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes. Standard questions. She also explained the position in-depth and her expectations for this individual. It felt more like a friendly conversation than an interview. From there, she showed me around the building a bit and introduced me to a couple people. I asked who to follow up with and she stated the recruiter. She said it would take about 2 weeks to learn of the results. I learned less than a week later that my application was denied. Very surprised and disappointed given how the process went.

Interview DetailsStarted with a phone screen and then a few days later came in for an in person meeting. The ARC has a great mission but when I met with what would have been my potential managers they seemed a little scatter brained. The first woman I met with was quick to give me all the negatives about the job and gave a bit too much information about committee group organizers and how rich and snobbish they were, which was awkward... Then I met with her manager and when we were done she came back into the room running saying "I'm on the phone with a donor, but do you have anymore questions?!". It was a bit unprofessional.

Photograph brings woman's childhood memory back to life
WORTHINGTON -- Once upon a time, young Sally Zuehlke played with her Barbie doll every day. Eventually, of course, she outgrew the doll, so Barbie and her doll-size kitchen play set were put away among her keepsakes.
But Zuehlke recently found a reason to get Barbie and that play set out of storage -- to be part of a photography shoot.

I loved staying here!
The studio is in the perfect location and the neighborhood is delightful. I lived here for 7 years and it's a fantastic area. It's definitely a crash-pad and not a place you'll spend much time or sit to relax much as there isn't much space to live in other than the bed and the small dining table with 2 chairs. It's perfect for one person.
The space heater came in handy a couple of colder nights - that was great!
Everything in the studio was as-expected except that when I arrived, it smelled strongly of gas. I checked the stove but didn't realize that the pilot was blown out. I actually closed the door to the kitchen overnight and figured I was maybe crazy. The next day it was still strong so I contacted the management company. The representative arrived within probably 20 minutes of my call and took care of it quickly. It was great to have them available and the young man was very kind and courteous as well as apologetic for the trouble.
The wifi was spotty despite my resetting the wireless router several times. That was frustrating. I know, first world problems...
One note about the bed - I couldn't tell if it was queen or full, but after getting used to a king for myself and my fiancé, if I visit SF again with him I'm not sure we'd both fit in this bed - and we're not big people. If this studio had a king it would be perfect. Without a sofa large enough to really sit on, a larger bed would fit easily and make it a more workable place. The little couch was cute but I can't imagine wanting to sit on it.
I'd definitely recommend staying here - though I'd rather you not so I can book it again more easily in the future! ;)
We were very disappointed with our accommodation. The pictures posted were not at all accurate and gave the impression of a bigger place. The kitchen was "sub-standard" as was the bathroom. The closet was not tidy and had no light at first. Felt it could gave been cleaner too. Lighting in general was minimal in the studio. The only positive: the location.
The studio was great and in a nice location with good restaurants. Would stay here again.
This is a cute neighborhood, arrived at night and got key from lockbox without a problem. There's no light in the hallway so i used my phone to find the unit. The door lock is minimal so make sure to use the chain lock. Apartment is well furnished and comfortable bed. There was an issue with the odor in the unit at the management company was responsive and provided a air freshener that worked. Make sure to use the space heater to keep warm. Great shops and easy access to all party of city with uber.
Sean made us feel very welcomed. He always answered our questions very quickly. We loved the charming neighborhood!
Unfortunately our stay here was not up to par with the expectations we had after our first Airbnb experience of the trip. We alerted AirEnvy that we would arrive by 3:30 on check in day several days prior, and actually arrived shortly after that. Check in process went smooth but we were disappointed when we walked into a stripped bed with no linens or towels. When I reached out to request them I was told it would be 30-45 minutes, and we were very pleased. By 6pm we needed to leave to meet family for dinner and there was no sign of the linens. Unfortunately we we're not able to shower and freshen up after a busy day of traveling. When we arrived back from dinner I was hoping they would have redeemed themselves but that was not the case. We arrived home to a garbage bag filled with some towels, and a few of the appropriate linens. There were 3 plain sheets (none of which were fitted), 2 pillow cases (and 4 pillows provided), and no duvet cover for the stained down insert... We exchanged several emails with AirEnvy when we just arrived, it was a frustrating experience and was not worth dealing with them again as we didn't spend much time at the apartment.
We were really disappointed with the service provided which is very unfortunate as we really enjoyed the property and the location. My family in the area was also disappointed as they were hoping to recommend this place to their other out of town visitors.
My Aunt very much enjoyed her stay during her holiday visit. The studio was lovely just as pictured and the location was excellent, close to shops and dining. Our host made us feel very welcome and responded right away to any questions.

Get AccessDear Editors,
The predictive value of DXA for fracture risk assessment has been established in many studies. The meta-analysis of Marshall et al. [1] found that the risk of any osteoporotic fracture increased 1.6-fold for each standard deviation decrease in bone mineral density. More recently it has become evident that there are important interactions that modulate the performance characteristics of BMD. For example, age provides an element of risk not captured by BMD. Thus, the 10-year probability of hip fracture in women aged 80 years with a T-score of −2.5 SD at the femoral neck is fivefold higher than that found in a woman at the age of 50 years with an identical T-score [2]. There is also a complex interaction of age with BMD. Whereas the average gradient of risk for hip fracture in men and women is approximately 2.6 per SD decrease in BMD at the femoral neck [1], it is significantly higher at the age of 50 years (3.68) than at the age of 85 years (1.93) [3]. More recently it has b ...

Benny Yurco

137 listeners
Benny Yurco is a Multi-Instrumentalist/producer from Vermont. After earning a reputation as one of the most unique and desired players in the psych soul-rock revival, Benny Yurco's solo debut presents his refreshing musical voice in its rawest and most ideal form. Co-produced with Floating Action's Seth Kauffman, "This is a Future" is lo-fi, song-oriented psychedelia at its finest.
A hazy mash-up of Gram Parsons meeting The Flaming Lips at Studio 1 in Kingston, Jamaica, these songs merge the ideals of early, dub masters with the modern pop mentality of a Burlington,VT based guitar punk. Comprised of 11 tracks written & recorded in Burlington, Vermont over the course of one week, the whole record consists of 1st takes engineered to 2" analog tape tracked & produced by Yurco & Kauffman. Like the guy who looks fresh in vintage clothes, Yurco's innovative rock sound is perfectly suited for the old-school sensibility that echoes throughout.

News Summary: Rare Good News For Eurozone Economy

RARE SIGNS: There were rare hopeful signs for Europe's struggling economy on Friday.

LONG ROAD: The day's news was in sharp contrast to some of the grim days the eurozone has witnessed over the last three years. But no one has any doubt that the eurozone's economy, which is currently stuck in recession, has a long way to go.

In government, the practice of spending more money than is received as revenue, the difference being made up by borrowing or minting new funds. The term usually refers to a conscious attempt to stimulate the economy by lowering tax rates or increasing government expenditures. Critics of deficit financing regularly denounce it as an example of shortsighted government policy. Advocates argue that it can be used successfully in response to a recession or depression, proposing that the ideal of an annually balanced budget should give way to that of a budget balanced over the span of a business cycle. Seealso John Maynard Keynes; national debt.

Behavioral syndrome in children, whose major symptoms are inattention and distractibility, restlessness, inability to sit still, and difficulty concentrating on one thing for any period of time. It occurs in about 5percnt of all schoolchildren, and it is three times more common in boys than in girls. It can adversely affect learning, though many children with ADD can learn to control their behaviour sufficiently to perform satisfactorily in school. It appears to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Certain aspects of the syndrome may persist into adulthood. Treatment usually entails counseling and close parental supervision, and it may also include prescription medication.

An accumulated deficit over several years (or centuries) is referred to as the government debt. Government debt is usually financed by borrowing, although if a government's debt is denominated in its own currency it can print new currency to pay debts. Monetizing debts, however, can cause rapid inflation if done on a large scale. Governments can also sell assets to pay off debt. Most governments finance their debts by issuing long-term government bonds or shorter term notes and bills. Many governments use auctions to sell government bonds.
Governments usually must pay interest on what they have borrowed. Governments reduce debt when their revenues exceed their current expenditures and interest costs. Otherwise, government debt increases, requiring the issue of new government bonds or other means of financing debt, such as asset sales.
According to Keynesian economic theories, running a fiscal deficit and increasing government debt can stimulate economic activity when a country's output (GDP) is below its potential output. When an economy is running near or at its potential level of output, fiscal deficits can cause inflation.
The government's deficit can be measured with or without including the interest it pays on its debt. The primary deficit is defined as the difference between current government spending and total current revenue from all types of taxes. The total deficit (which is often just called the 'deficit') is spending, plus interest payments on the debt, minus tax revenues.
Therefore, if is government spending and is tax revenue, then
If is last year's debt, and is the interest rate, then
Finally, this year's debt can be calculated from last year's debt and this year's total deficit:
Economic trends can influence the growth or shrinkage of fiscal deficits in several ways. Increased levels of economic activity generally lead to higher tax revenues, while government expenditures often increase during economic downturns because of higher outlays for social insurance programs such as unemployment benefits. Changes in tax rates, tax enforcement policies, levels of social benefits, and other government policy decisions can also have major effects on public debt. For some countries, such as Norway, Russia, and members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), oil and gas receipts play a major role in public finances.
Inflation reduces the real value of accumulated debt. If investors anticipate future inflation, however, they will demand higher interest rates on government debt, making public borrowing more expensive.
A government deficit can be thought of as consisting of two elements, structural and cyclical.
At the lowest point in the business cycle, there is a high level of unemployment. This means that tax revenues are low and expenditure (e.g. on social security) high. Conversely, at the peak of the cycle, unemployment is low, increasing tax revenue and decreasing social security spending. The additional borrowing required at the low point of the cycle is the cyclical deficit. By definition, the cyclical deficit will be entirely repaid by a cyclical surplus at the peak of the cycle.
The structural deficit is the deficit that remains across the business cycle, because the general level of government spending is too high for prevailing tax levels. The observed total budget deficit is equal to the sum of the structural deficit with the cyclical deficit or surplus.
Some economists have criticized the distinction between cyclical and structural deficits, contending that the business cycle is too difficult to measure to make cyclical analysis worthwhile.
The fiscal gap, a measured proposed by economists Alan Auerbach and Lawrence Kotlikoff, measures the difference between government spending and revenues over the very long term, typically as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product. The fiscal gap can be interpreted as the percentage increase in revenues or reduction of expenditures necessary to balance spending and revenues in the long run. For example, a fiscal gap of 5% could be eliminated by an immediate and permanent 5% increase in taxes or cut in spending or some combination of both. It includes not only the structural deficit at a given point in time, but also the difference between promised future government commitments, such as health and retirement spending, and planned future tax revenues. Since the elderly population is growing much faster than the young population in many countries, many economists argue that these countries have important fiscal gaps, beyond what can be seen from their deficits alone.

These loans became popular when private financiers had amassed enough capital to provide them, and when governments were no longer able to simply print money, with consequent inflation, to finance their spending.
However, large long-term loans had a high element of risk for the lender and consequently gave high interest rates. Governments later began to issue bonds that were payable to the bearer, rather than the original purchaser. This meant that someone who lent the state money could sell on the debt to someone else, reducing the risks involved and reducing the overall interest rates. Examples of this are British Consols and American Treasury bill bonds.
The Ricardian equivalence hypothesis, named after the English political economist and Member of Parliament David Ricardo, states that because households anticipate that current public deficit will be paid through future taxes, those households will accumulate savings now to offset those future taxes. If households acted in this way, a government would not be able to use fiscal policy to stimulate the economy. The Ricardian equivalence result requires strong modelling assumptions. For example, the result requires that households act as if they were infinite-lived dynasties. Empirical evidence on Ricardian equivalence effects has been mixed.

TB install - help with TPS (wanna get it right this time)
Some of you may or may not remember my little TB fiasco from back around Xmas time. I bought a ported TB, tried to install it on my car, but i kept snapping the TPS. i'd install the TPS on the throttle blade but then when i went to hit the throttle i'd hear a giant *SNAP* and the car would do wierd stuff like climb all the way to 6200 RPM before every shift and it would shift HARD. after screwing up 2 TPSs, i finally broke down and bought a new stock TB with the TPS on it already. lesson learned, i guess. anywho, fast forward to present. i'm buying a TON of goodies of a local guy who wrecked his 01 zx3 ATX and bought a new PZEV. one of the things i bought was a FC 65mm TB. we're going to put that and a couple more things on this sunday and i want to make sure we do this right just so i don't have to play this whole dumb game again. he and another buddy (who put the TB on in the 1st place) are going to help, but when i asked if he was sure he knew how to put the TB on w/o snapping the TPS he kinda gave me a wierd look. i think he might have just gotten lucky the 1st time around. so, how do i put on this TPS correctly? focal, i'm looking at you bc i know you remember this fiasco from the 1st time around! Mike

I think that they were manufactured by Duracell. I peak charged the cells at 1C, are you suggesting they be peaked charged at 1/2 C or 900mAh? I hadn't thought of that. You can find out more about the Dynacharge NiMh cells at the following thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...=%2Bdynacharge Tks, Ed |

The batteries get hot on both chargers. Interesting you mention Panosonic AA peaking at 130+ F degrees. That is what I think the temp gets to. Where did you get the info the MRC superbrain charges only 7 cells NiMh? Babblefish, I agree that overnight charging using the Hitec charger will work. I haven't tried using the Dynacharge cells in the Radio Shack holder and using the Hitec charger that plugs into the Tx to charge the pack. Is this what you are doing or did you change connectors? There is another thread on RC Universe that says Panasonic suggests NiCads can delta peak at 15-20 mV per cell drop and NiMh can delta peak at 5-10 mV per cell drop. That would put the mV at 40-80 mV for an 8 cell NiMh pack. Others are more conservatinve and say 3mV per cell which would be 24mV for 8 cells. The two charges on the Orbit V6.2 using the Radio Shack holder and the 8 cells Dynacharge 1800 mHa batteries showed 1846 and 1899 mHa charge using Reflex mode at C 1.8 Amps. Delta peak was set to minimum NiMh setting on the Orbit. I don't know what mV that equates to on Delta Peak. Check out the following thread on MRC Delta Peak at: http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...&highlight=mrc Tks for the info. I will try 1 Amp at 20mV using the MRC Superbrain and see how hot the cells get. Ed |
Apr 24, 2003, 01:08 AM | |
I haven't verified it yet, but I think the delta peak setting for the 959 is per cell. One thing for sure, if I let my 959 use it's default setting, my batteries come out way too hot.
As far as charging Nimh in my transmitter, I just replaced the factory Nicd pack with the Radio Shack AA battery holder and plugged the factory charger into the transmitter. Works great and nothing overheats. The transmitter indicates a voltage of about 12.5 volts right after unplugging the charger. Glad you had better luck with your Dynacharge AA capacity. I couldn't get more than 1500 mAh or so using my Triton charger. The batteries finished their charge warm, not hot so I'm pretty sure they peaked correctly. Maybe I need to cycle them a few more times... |
Apr 24, 2003, 01:51 AM | |
The Panasonic tech sheet is here wrt to temp - also great info on NiMh charging in general (including Delta Peack voltage, etc): http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/...rgeMethods.pdf As for charging 8 cell, I don't think the 959 has a voltage boost circuit, so if you're using it off a 12V battery, your max cell count is 7. On A/C, it'll probably do 8 cell I guess (as spec'ed by MRC). I used to charge a TX pack in a RS holder at no more than 1Amp or so (even with 1600/1800 NiMh) and had no problems, these days that's the max current I charge a TX thru the socket (best deal is to remove the pack for quick charging). |

I started this once before, but it was a long time ago, so here I am again.
Hi, stalkers!!
A bit of background - I'll make it brief.
Mike and I got married on 11/21/1998 and he wanted kids ASAP. I wanted to wait a bit, thinking that as soon as I stopped birth control I'd be pregnant in a NY minute, like my mother. After about 4 years of marriage, we started trying with no result. Thankfully, my GYN did the usual battery of tests, and when my Prolactin came back very elevated, he sent me straight to the fertility center. Long story short, I have a Prolactinoma in my pituitary gland. Basically, it's just a PITA benign tumor that screws with my hormones and tricks my body out of ovulating. They controlled that with Parlodel, a disgusting Bromocriptine drug that made me terribly sick, but brought my levels back down.
Once my Prolactin was stable, we did three IUI cycles with no success. The RE decided to do a laparoscopy on 10/21/03, during which he removed some mild endometriosis. I got pregnant on the very next cycle (Thanksgiving morning, actually) ON MY OWN!!!!! We were thrilled. After a tough pregnancy with kidney stones and bilateral stents for the last 2 1/2 months, we had our beautiful daughter, Lily Claire, on 8/25/2004.
My SIL got married in March of 2006 in the Dominican Republic. At that time, Lily was almost two and we decided to abandon the birth control on the trip. I figured that all of my problems were solved and I'd get pregnant right away this time. Clearly not the case... By July I was frustrated and went back to the doctor.
We decided to go with injectables/IUI. We did three Bravelle/IUI cycles with no result. The Bravelle did a number on me. After that, we did another laparoscopy, thinking maybe the endo. had grown back. There wasn't much to report, so we moved on to IVF. I thought that my first IVF cycle was going to be my answer. I was CONVINCED that I'd be pregnant on cycle number 1. I took the drugs, did the shots, did the appointments, had the eggs retrieved, and then they all died. All of them. I got that far and had nothing to transfer. I was absolutely crushed, but I went for another cycle.
Cycle 2, they retrieved 18 eggs, some died, we transferred two 3-day embryos, and one was frozen as a blast. The doctor called two weeks later with negative results. I took a little break because I was a mess and went back for a cycle in December. Long story short, I hyperstimulated, they coasted me, I had 13 eggs retrieved, and transferred 3 3-day embryos. Still nothing. My RE is wonderful, and he talked to me for a long time. We decided to change protocols, so different medicine, different timeline, different IVF cycle. Hopefully it will make the difference.
I met with the PA to go over the new protocol and she told me about an NIH study on acupuncture with IVF, so what's a few more needles? I signed up!
Today is CD1 and AF is here full-force. My first monitoring appointment is tomorrow (Thursday) and I start my stims. I'll probably have acupuncture the next day. I'm ready! Let's get this show on the road!!!!!!
Monitoring started yesterday. I had a baseline u/s, where they couldn't find my left ovary. It always hides for a few days. Of the two docs at ther fertility center, I got the one who's not exactly the *most* gentle. Honestly, if that guy had a uterus for just. one. day. I would get him back with that damn u/s wand.
Anyway, they called and my levels were fine to start stims.
I took a pic of the contents of my Giant Box O'Meds - I'll post it here later. Last night I took 225 units of Follistim and 150 units of Menopur. Same dosage tonight.
So... acupuncture was interesting!
I went this morning to the acupuncturist. His office is beautiful - it's in a little stone house in a cute area. The reception area is filled with asian-influenced furniture and shelves full of Chinese herbs. There is also a gorgeous cabinet filled with signed footballs - apparently he works with the Ravens.
I went in and filled out the IVF paperwork and he led me into a room that looked much like a massage therapy room. He had me take off only my shoes and lay on the table, on my back. He lifted my pant legs up just enough to expose my shins, and wiped 5 spots with an alcohol swab. Then he put needles in those five areas: my right pinna (outside of my ear), the top of each wrist, and just outside the midline of each shin. Then he set a timer for 25 minutes, dimmed the lights, and left the room.
I just stayed there and relaxed. I was amazed at how relaxing it was. I couldn't feel the needles, but I knew exactly where they were. It was strange - there was almost a feeling of warmth in each of those spots... I actually really enjoyed the time to do nothing but listen to the soft music and clear my head. I didn't feel anxious at all.
More later.
I was on the same dose for 4 days, and I went to the fert. center on Saturday and this morning. Nothing starts a Monday morning like an internal ultrasound at 7:30AM! Dr. Y dug around for awhile searching for my left ovary, which is apparently behind my uterus. Damn thing. My E2 is over 100, so they're decreasing my dose to:
125 Follistim
75 Menopur
I am starting the Ganirelix - that's the only drug I haven't had before, so I'm not sure how I'll react to that... right now I am craving carbs like crack. I am dying for a bowl of pasta - not exactly on my Weight Watchers plan. I have lost 5 lbs. in the last month, but I know it's coming back during this cycle. *sigh*
We went to a Superbowl party last night, and as soon as the host opened the door I noticed that she was pregnant. I feel like everyone is. I've been "lapped" by everyone I know - they've all had their second babies and I'm still working on it. I really am happy for them - I wouldn't wish infertility on anyone, and I know that their ability to get pregnant has nothing to do with my inability to do so, but it just feels weird. Then I feel guilty for feeling sorry for myself...
I am SO about to buy a pint of Haagen Dazs and eat the whole thing.
OK - so my E2 is way up and I have somewhere around 20 follies as of this morning. I have a couple of 14s and a 15, so ER should be coming up this week. We started the Ganirelix and these meds are KICKING. MY. ***. I also woke up with a cold this morning, and sometime during the course of the day I lost the ability to breathe through either nostril.
I could sell EWCM to anyone who needs it - the stims are definitely working! It's crazy.
I am in the throes of baby shower land. UGH. Just what I want to be doing. I'm completely thrilled for my SIL, but it's hard for me. I am also planning my sister's bridal shower - she's getting married in May. Life is nuts!
I've been doing a lot of thinking about the fact that someday soon I will have to stop with the infertility treatments. At what point am I satisfied with the one wonderful child I have? I feel like all of this is taking away from her... the doctor appointments that interrupt our schedules, the meds that make me less patient... I just don't know if/when I'll be comfortable saying, "I'm done." I also feel so guilty. Mike and I have always wanted more than one child and I'm the reason we can't do it. He never blames me, but I blame me - I think that's harder. Anyway, I have to stop now b/c I'm bawling (everything makes me cry).
I hate getting up early on the weekends for my appointments. 6:30 is coming early tomorrow!
Yesterday my E2 was at 852, so going up steadily. I have lots of follies - 10 big ones on the right. The doctor said that he's going to decrease my dose again tonight, so maybe ER on Wednesday or Thursday?
I saw the doc in the hallway this morning, and he said, "Good morning, Shannan." It's kind of nice that he knows my name, but kind of sad, given the size of the practice.
After the RE this morning, I went to Immediate care for a strep test - that's one test I don't mind seeing a negative on. I just have a nasty cold - I was up all night coughing. DH is going to take Lily to the mall this afternoon so I can lay on the couch and catch up on the DVR.
So I still feel like *** and the LAST thing I felt like doing this morning was driving 45 min. to the fertility center, but I did. I have several very big follies, and I'm ready to trigger! There aren't as many follies as I usually have, but that's the protocol. Fewer eggs, but hopefully better quality.
I'll do my Ovidrel trigger tonight, go in for u/s and blood tomorrow, have acupuncture tomorrow, and then egg retrieval is Wednesday.
I'll be more excited when I can breathe through both nostrils.
After driving through an ice storm to get to the hospital, we had our egg retrieval yesterday. Everything went well and they got 9 eggs, which I was excited about until this morning. The nurse called to say that 6 of the 9 were mature and only 4 fertilized. We will have our ET on Saturday morning, and hopefully there will be 3 embryos to transfer.
I am completely bummed. I was really hoping for a blast transfer and a better selection of embryos. I'm not sure what to do from here.
We transferred 3 good embryos this morning. One 10-cell, one 9-cell, and one 8-cell embryo - the best 3-days we've had. We still have one 8-cell in culture. My RE said we were taking "a little bit of a risk" by transferring all three, but that's a risk I'm willing to take!!
I have been on the couch all day, forbidden to move by my sweet DH. Tomorrow is my SIL's shower, and I'll be on "light duty."
My Beta is scheduled for 2/28.
The shower went really well. WHEW! I am glad that's over. I sat with her and wrote down her gifts as she opened them and I was a little sad. I got over myself, though, and had a nice time in spite of the fact it was a baby shower. I am so excited to be Aunt Shannan to this little one. My SIL has been through so much.
Mike and Lily went out yesterday and had a great day together - he's the best Dad. When I went upstairs to change, there were size 1 Swaddlers on the bed. One of the REs at the fert. center always says, "OK - Go buy diapers." at the end of an IVF cycle. When he said it to me last week I told him he said that last time and it didn't work, and he said, "You didn't buy them, did you?" so Mike bought some. So silly. He is also making me rest like crazy and eat protein and ice cream. He says he's positive this is the one. We'll see... 10 more days.

Bottega Veneta Resort 2013 Runway
Bottega Veneta Resort 2013
A seasonless assortment of grown-up separates in fluid silhouettes were the touchpoints of Tomas Maier's appealing Resort 2013 collection for Bottega Veneta. The designer looked to art, and particularly the frescoes of Tiepolo and Veronese, for a faded bouquet palette of butter yellow, pale peach, and pistachio, working each hue into powerful head-to-toe monochrome looks — complete with matching shoes and bags.
To capitalize on the season's long selling period — and to capture its neither-here-nor-there transitional spirit — pieces came in light fabrics such as viscose jersey and superfine cashmere, but were styled in lean, ultra-functional layers. Bags — a hallmark for the brand — embodied this same sense of innovative practicality: in addition to leather, the season's intrecciato clutches, satchels, and totes came woven in rubber, metal, and Japanese paper.
