i tested at 3 weeks 4 days and got a possitiveposted 02/16/2013 by evelyndowns
Also, I've been experiencing cramping every single day. Just lightly. I just 'feel' pregnant, I'm between three and four weeks. And my belly is rounded (not a bump, bloating) but it's high up, well, just above my waistline, is that possible? C xposted 02/16/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Okay, so I'm now 15dpo, and I think I am pregnant. I'm really bloated, I've had a huge increase in appetite. I get full but I'm hungry again within an hour or so. 9dpo, I wiped myself(sorry TMI) but there was one spot of pink blood. I just don't feel myself, have reeaally bad mood swings, I cried just because I didn't want to go to the shop. I'm constantly tired, I feel like I've not slept in weeks!! I have to pee at least 3 times an hour, I have a decreased sex drive, I feel nauseated at times, but never sick. I've totally gone off of energy juice! My hair gets greasy a lot quicker, and I always feel 'full' although I'm starrvvingg!! I'm currently addicted to apple juice, have been for the last few days, it cures my nausea. I've taken 4 pregnancy tests but they're all negative as of yet. I'm due on my period in 3 days(tues), should I test then? I would be about three weeks if I am. I'm just really hoping that this time I am pregnant. This will be mine and my fiance's first child. C xposted 02/16/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I am supposing that I am 3 weeks pregnant. I've never been pregnant before, but something in my body is telling my brain that things aren't quite normal. Last night through mid day today, I experienced pinkish brown spotting, and the girls are quite sore and tender. No nausea yet, but my research indicated normally that's not due for a couple of weeks. My missed period is this Thursday. (4 more days) If I could get some insight from anyone, could I test accurately with a first response 6 days sooner, or should I just wait it out until Thursday? Please offer as much advice as possible. Thanksposted 02/02/2013 by savannahwylde23
I believe I'm 3 weeks preggo. I go Wednesday for a blood test if I can wait that long lol. I'm extremely bloated/gas I feel trapped in my work pants lol. My breast are not at all sore but my nipples are very sensitive. Ive been freezing and had a runniing nose last night and now my nose is stuffy and my throat is a bill sore. I had a slight headache and ear ache yesterday but mainly my neck has been achy lol. I also have a had cramps. Really bad the first few days after sex but they are slowly going away..but they are getting lower as the day goes on. Today I woke up and I feel hot kinda ew. I should start my period in 5 days but I have never ever had symptoms like this before. Making me think I'm preggo. I don't really have a ton of discharge but when I do its kinda yellow with a bit of brown. Might be implanting....posted 01/28/2013 by holbrook1989
In the last post I forgot to post I have also felt very dizzy, and get tired really quickly. I have 2 boys 5 and 3yrs old. It's hard to keep up with them when I am so tired. Also if I wait to long to eat then the dizziness and nausea kicks in. Should I test 6 days early or wait? tuesday I will be 3weeks preggo if I am.posted 01/26/2013 by melinda60

Everything about her seemed to reflect her mother. Her looks and attitude were brought on by her mother, yet there was a hint of her father.
Her father; she was Daddy's Little Girl. He raised her when she was small, and then a couple of weeks after her grandmother's funeral: he was gone. He was locked up in jail, and didn't come out til 6 years later. And once he was out he wasn't allowed back into the country for another 3 years.
He would have gotten out sooner if he had controlled his temper. She remember getting a letter from him explaining that he was gonna stay an extra 60 days for his temper. The same temper she had built inside her when she attacked and nearly killed one of her closest friend.

Garage door remotes
I have a Craftsman 41A5021-3B M#193.53674SRT-1 1997 Garage door opener for which I lost 1 remote control. I found a replacement Model 970LM Lift-Master 390 MHz. Is it possible to install both remotes to the same receiver/operator? When I install the second code, the first remote seems to be cancled? Do I need two identical remotes? Thanks for a reply!!
They should both work with your opener. Try programming it this way.
Hold the button down on the remote while you press and immediately release the learn button on the rear of the motor unit. Do this for each remote. The key is to not hold the learn button in too long as it will erase what it presently has in memory.
I tried your suggestion, with no results. As soon as I pressed and released the learn button a led light on the back of the operator came on for about 60 seconds. The instructions on the back of the opperator said to "1.press and hold transmitter push botton. 2.press receiver code button. 3.When opener light flashes, release both push buttons "
Is it possible that changes have been made to the system sence 1995?
Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks for your help.
It sounds like your logic board may be bad. Both of those remotes are listed as Security + which is what your opener is. Just in case my information is wrong make sure the new one is Security +. It should say that on the case. There have been no changes as far as programming is concerned since the original opener with the smart/learn button.

Starbucks Welcomes Customers to its First Stores in Yaroslavl, Russia
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
News Source : Starbucks Welcomes Customers to its First Stores in Yaroslavl, Russia
Starbucks is opening several locations in Russia, including two new stores in Yaroslavl, a city about 160 miles north of Moscow.
"We are delighted to announce two new stores in Yaroslavl this month, extending the Starbucks Experience to more customers in Russia," said Mojtaba Akhbari, General Director of Koffee Sirena LLC, managing Starbucks in Russia. "We are incredibly humbled by the warmth of Russian consumers who have embraced Starbucks in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar and Sochi. We look forward to offering high quality Starbucks coffee to the people of Yaroslavl in our beautiful new stores designed with the city's rich heritage in mind."
With each new store, Starbucks always sets out to authentically incorporate local culture, traditions and architecture. The natural beauty of Yaroslavl is reflected in the interior of the new stores, using natural materials - wood, copper and hot-rolled steel - and traditional Russian wooden design elements. The large community tables featured in Starbucks store seating areas exhibit the beauty of the natural local timber. Wall posters tell the story of coffee production in the primitive style of Russian "lubok" folk art.
During the next 12 months, Starbucks plans to open stores in Yekaterinburg and Tumen, in the Russian Urals.
Starbucks entered the Russian market in 2007. Currently there are more than 70 Starbucks stores in Russia - in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, Sochi and Yaroslavl.
About Starbucks
Since 1971, Starbucks Coffee Company has been committed to ethically sourcing and roasting high-quality arabica coffee. Today, with stores around the globe, the company is the premier roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world.

Microwave and convection oven
My GE Spacemaker oven died. It went completely off abruptly while I was heating garlic bread in the convection oven.
What could be wrong with it?
Edited by: Sam Lionheart ( ) , 040304 ( )
MacHale Enterprise
Accepted Answer
Usually, when your microwave oven doesn't work it all, the internal fuse (thermal fuse) is blown. This fuse protects both you and the oven. When it blows, you need to have a qualified appliance repair technician replace it.
Here's the fuse, but there is a reason it blew: http://www.repairclinic.com/SSPartDetail...
Yeah please don't electrocute yourself and in this case I actually do recommend going to an actual appliance tech.
Agreed +
Followup on this. I did have it repaired... twice. It was a thermal cutout on the wiring that blew. The same tech came in the second time and put a slightly heavier duty one in there. He show me the part, how to connect it and instead of $157 next time it will only cost me about $3.
I asked him about the large capacitance farad/voltage/a
My only concern on that would be to find out the reason why your microwave would all over a sudden require a "heavier duty" one. I'd be thinking that something is drawing a higher load than it is supposed to. But as long as it works for you, good for you. Be careful with those things, they can be pretty scary.
Further, the reason it keeps blowing is because the PCB is on it's way out. It is IMO engineered obsolescence. All my appliances seem to bust after about 7 years. A replacement circuit board? About $400. New microwave? $300.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughts on the remastered CD,
Dapto (Sweden) - See all my reviews
Most of what has been written about this series, starting with the Brick box set has focused on the 5.1 DVD remixes. Since I don't have a surround system, here's a few words on the CD in package.
Firstly, the CD in this CD+DVDA set is a completely separate disc to the DVD. No double-sided, incompatible with lots of things, dualdisc. Secondly, it has 4 bonus tracks unlisted by Amazon. They are: Stay Hungry (1977 version), I'm Not in Love (Alternative version), The Big Country (alternate version), and Thank you for sending me an angel (Country Angel version).
It would be fair to say from the get go that the bonus tracks are not why you want this CD. Stay Hungry and The Big Country sound here as rejects from TH '77. The Alternate version to I'm Not in Love is a novelty version (at least today it sounds it) with massive flanging and phasing effects all over certain instruments. The only thing among the extras worth hearing more than once is the Country Angel version of "Thank you for sending me an angel". It's like the original version, but the with the country elements turned up. It works fine, though I still strongly prefer the original.
The cover says the CD is remastered. In most cases this means that some mastering engineer has slovenly run the tape through a savage peak limiter, screwed up the volume by 5-10dB, and instant remaster! This remaster though is an entirely different animal. While it is louder than previous masters (about 3dB louder than Sand in the Vaseline and 7db louder than the original MSABAF CD), the big differences are in two areas: the bass and the details.
This CD has MUCH more bass than the original. On "Take me to the river" I measured an increase of 10dB at 55Hz and 20dB at 30Hz (set to an equivalent volume at 1kHz). The treble is slightly dropped to, though this is only 1-2dB.
The result is a much weightier, more modern sound. This no longer sounds like lightweight pop, it's getting bolshie and powerful. The music is immensely engaging (it always was of course) in a new way. It drives, it hits, it moves.
The other thing is the details, and here I am starting to wonder if something more than remastering has gone on, cause I'm hearing so much new music. I suspect these things were always there because when I go back I can hear the things I am hearing for the first time on the early pressings, but now there are stereo placements and details, especially I am guessing Eno's input, that stand out much more clearly. And this isn't just the volume making them stand out since I have adjusted for that. There is space here I have never noticed - and the space gives room for instruments to appear more clearly. David's voice is very clear in the mix, and his manic intensity is even more powerful than ever.
And all this is before you even get to the DVD! my money was rarely better spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Talking Heads when they were still just a proper 4 piece band,
Moz "The Madhatter" (Birmingham England) - See all my reviews
This is the essence of Talking Heads, Okay, so I know Brian Eno's on board now and it changes their sound dramatically from 77 but it's still tight and in control. I saw them touring this and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to - they could pretty much do it live. Typical quirky songs, neat guitar phrases, I love Tina's bass,however much everyone else disparages it. If you only get one Heads album I'd recommend this one. Later stuff can get a bit overindulgent and too much studio production. 'Buildings' still retains it's soul, energy, integrity and essence. Screw loose and fancy free.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poetic Art Rock,
All the Talking Heads trademarks are here, where they still sound fresh: unusual song structures, weird lyrics, pained vocals and jagged rhythms, forever establishing their unique style. My favourites include The Girls Want To Be With The Girls, I'm Not In Love, Take Me To The River (sounding like some type of anthem) and the wonderful The Big Country. I have not yet investigated their debut album, but this charmed me way back in 1978. I rated them in the same league as Television, Patti Smith, Richard Hell and the Voidoids - music with poetic substance - as opposed to the 3-chord punk wonders. Yes, this music has stood the test of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Byrne rules supreme,
Bookie (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: More Songs About Buildings And Food (Deluxe Version) (MP3 Download)
This album is simply amazing. Tina Weymouth on bass, Byrne belting out his sometime strangulated lyrics and the whole produced with energy by Brian Eno. It doesn't get much better. Punk rock, country, reggae are all there along with inspired lyrics. Impossible to define, this second album is a masterpiece, showcasing intelligent music. Another classic I've rediscovered thanks to bargain �1.99 mp3 download.
5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece,
This review is from: More Songs About Buildings And Food (1978) [VINYL] (Vinyl)
On this second album, those Talking Heads trademarks still sound fresh and innovative: the unusual song structures, weird evocative lyrics, pained vocals and jagged rhythms. My favorites include The Girls Want To Be With The Girls, I'm Not In Love, the cover of Take Me To The River (interpreted as a type of anthem) and the remarkable track The Big Country with its country flavor, flowing rhythms and cinematic imagery. In retrospect, the sentiment of the song was snobbish but it charmed me way back in 1978. Talking Heads were in the same league as Television, Patti Smith, Richard Hell and the Voidoids - a new wave of music with poetic substance, as opposed to the 3-chord punk wonders of the time. Read all about it in From The Velvets To The Voidoids by Clinton Heylin. It still sounds great today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enter the Enoman!,
Kevin Mcclure "kevin21549" - See all my reviews
There are two bands for whom Brian Eno can lay claim to some responsibility for their subsequent greatness. Everybody knows about U2 but his involvement with Talking Heads as producer started with this album. Both bands had the potential for what they became but Eno opened up a whole new area of posibilities and added an extra bit of cool although I guess U2 needed that far more than Talking Heads, 77 is still a great album albeit with a slightly more limited sound pallet than from this album onwards. This was the third Talking Heads album that I bought (as I did not get into them until Fear of Music came out when I bought 77 then FoM then this album) The funkiness of this album is brilliant. Byrne's lyrics just go into so many areas that other songwriters normally do not go to but there is a huge resonance with things thant concern many people. It is amazing when you hear a song voice ideas that have gone on in your head but you never thought anyone else would take the time to voice. There lies the genius of Byrne's lyric writing, he does not necssarily look for the big ideas to inspire a song but looks at the mundane or seemingly insignificant and manages to pull it off, never sounding forced or falsly whacky in that "We're all mad in here!" way that some do. Brilliant! I would have to contradict one reviewer of Fear of Music who says that it is THE Talking Heads album; I would argue that this is THE album. Artists Only, Stay Hungry, Found a Job, The Girls Want To Be...I'm Not In Love. every one a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars A place where normal is weird,
More songs about buildings and food.....and artists, abstract analysis, office jobs, bodybuilders, restaurants, Al Green - in fact America. More songs about America and how weird normal can be.
Talking Heads were always the epitome of late 70's USA cool. They were funky, self contained, literate, fun and soooo normal (The drummer was married to the bass player...!)yet it all worked. What an alternative to the UK New Romantic scene...
Centred around David Byrne's astonishing lyrics, they wove a heady stew of clipped funk, classic soul and sparkling pop all shot through with an avant garde edge that made sure they sounded like no one else on the planet.
From here on it was 'Fear of Music' which introduced African polyrhythms for the first time and then onto the their career peak 'Remain in Light' - still the greatest LP ever released. This one's great too - buy it, dance to it, think about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their best album for me,
Jeffrey M. Black "jblack437" (Stockport) - See all my reviews
I think I first bought this album in 1979, having been fascinated by hearing Eno's subterranean production on the single of 'Take Me To the River'. I can safely say it changed my life as it inspired me to form a band a become a musician. It's difficult to describe how unique they sounded in the late 70s, when it was all Les Pauls turned up to 11. The only band to compare with them were probably XTC (who they actually toured with).
Tina Weymouth always seems to come in for some slightly sexist flak, but her bass was the propulsion behind the whole unit. When they go off into the funky workout at the end of 'Found A Job', I'd defy anybody to keep still.
With the benefit of hindsight, I can see that the scratchy Fenders and driving basslines were their weird, angular take on Memphis soul - a kind of black music for very white people. I still regard it as the quintessential Heads album, with the original four-piece firing on all cylinders and aided by the perfect choice of producer. They may have pushed the envelope a little more on subsequent albums but I love this collection of disciplined, grooving pop songs.
Buy it, kids, and be as inspired as I was.

5.0 out of 5 stars My all time favourite album, impossible to resist!!,
For me, this is the most infectiously joyful album in my collection. I have never heard anything else that comes close to the sustained adrenalin rush of these short, sharp pop masterpieces flying past one after the other. I find it nearly impossible not to jump around the room when this album is playing loud. Love it!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh and innovative,
Daniel Margrain "hairy marx" (London) - See all my reviews
With this, the second of Talking Heads trilogy of opening masterpieces, the rhythm takes centre stage. Eno's meticulous production translates into a more aggressive sound allied with the use of subtle arrangements, emphatic vocals and a variety of musical styles with the emphasis increasingly on 'funk'. Talking Heads were the most innovative and inventive of bands of the new wave. This album sounds as fresh today as the day it was released.

For red-wine makers, Botrytis cinerea is simply rot, a nasty fungal infestation with potentially disastrous consequences. But for estates making dessert wines in regions such as Germany and France's Sauternes and Loire Valley, Botrytis cinerea goes by the sobriquet "noble rot," and is essential to the creation of the world's finest sweet wines.

Tacoma Public Schools elections (2013)
Method of election
What was at stake?
Key deadlines
Additional elections
External links
Tacoma Public Schools
One seat on the Tacoma Public Schools Board of Directors was up for election on the November 5, 2013 ballot. Campaign issues included maintaining the district's standing as a state-designated Innovation Zone, the impacts of recent budget cuts and the district's efforts toward charter school authorization. Debbie Winskill defeated Dexter Gordon for the Position 1 seat.
About the district
- See also: Tacoma Public Schools, Washington
Tacoma lags behind state averages for median income, higher education achievement and poverty rate. The percentage of city residents over 25 years old with undergraduate degrees (24.3%) is below the state average (31.4%). The 2010 U.S. Census calculated Tacoma's median income at $49,232 while the state median income was $58,890. Tacoma had a poverty rate of 17.1% in the 2010 U.S. Census while the state rate was 12.5%.[1]
Note: The United States Census Bureau considers "Hispanic or Latino" to be a place of origin, not a race. Therefore, the Census allows citizens to report both their race and that they are from a "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin simultaneously. As a result, the percentages in each column of the racial demographics table will exceed 100 percent. Each column will add up to 100 percent after removing the "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin percentages, although rounding by the Census Bureau may make the total one- or two-tenths off from being exactly 100 percent.[3] This Ballotpedia page provides a more detailed explanation of how the Census Bureau handles race and ethnicity in its surveys.
Method of board member selection
The Tacoma Public Schools Board of Directors consists of five members elected at-large to six-year terms. There was not a primary election on August 6, 2013 as the single seat that was up for election did not have more than two candidates. Two seats are up for election on November 3, 2015 and two seats will be on the ballot in November 2017.
Elections in Washington require candidates to pay filing fees equal to 1% of a position's annual salary. Board members in Tacoma can be reimbursed up to $4,800 for district activities but do not receive salaries, which eliminates the filing fee. Candidates were required to file nominating petitions by May 17, 2013 to qualify for the November ballot. Each candidate could also submit a photo and statement of 100 words or less by August 14, 2013 for the county's local voter pamphlet.[4]

What was at stake?
Debbie Winskill ran for her fifth term on the board against challenger Dexter Gordon for an at-large seat.
The Board of Directors will try to balance budget cuts in the most recent budget with the district's role as an innovator. The 2012-2013 district budget featured cuts totaling $4.5 million from the 2011-2012 budget with most cuts coming from regular instruction.[8] Board members will try to maintain the district's role as an Innovation Zone, a title bestowed upon the district by Superintendent Randy Dorn in 2012. The district features 12 schools that are considered innovative out of 33 schools throughout the state.[9]
A 3-0 vote by the Board of Directors in September 2013 approved the district's letter of intent to become a charter school authorizer. The district hopes to follow Spokane in taking advantage of a 2012 statewide initiative that allows a limited number of charter schools to be created by 2017. Members Karen Vialle, Catherine Ushka and Kurt Miller supported a letter of intent to the Washington Board of Education while Debbie Winskill abstained and Scott Heinze was not available for the vote. The Board of Directors voted unanimously prior to Initiative 1240 to oppose charter schools in Tacoma because members believed that charters would contribute to decreased funding for existing schools.[10]
Key deadlines
The following dates were key deadlines for the Tacoma Public Schools election in 2013:[4]

|First day to file nominating petitions by mail

Additional elections on the ballot
The Tacoma Public Schools election shared the ballot with other city offices. The ballot included the mayoral race, four positions on the Tacoma City Council and two positions on the Civil Service Board. Three seats on the Port of Tacoma Commission will be up for election on November 5, 2013. Voters will also cast ballots for two statewide initiatives and five advisory votes that deal with changes to state tax policy.[4]

Beginner: Maca with Ginseng
Hello all,
I am just getting started with herbalism and holistic healing so bear with me... I have two questions so far :)
1)Is it safe to take Maca and Ginseng simultaneously?
2)I was reading over the Herbal Safety post and noticed that many people were referring to trained or licensed herbalists as far as experimenting and such. How does one go about being trained and/or licensed? And is it possible to get in contact with a trained or licensed herbalist to pose questions about the regimens of herbs I would like to take?
I'd appreciate your help and advice... thanks!!!
Check out the site below for people who may be able to answer your question about herbalist training.
I would suggest that two powerful uppers combined would make you practically supersonic. Enough to mangle your brain, probably.

Asthma: Using an Asthma Action Plan
Top of the page Actionset
Asthma: Using an Asthma Action Plan
If you or your child has asthma that requires daily treatment, it is important to have an asthma action plan. An asthma action plan is a written plan that tells you what asthma medicine to take every day and how to treat an asthma attack . It can help you make quick decisions in case you are not able to think clearly during an attack.
An asthma action plan usually includes:
- Treatment goals, which include your personal goals about your asthma.
- An outline of the medicines you take daily for asthma control and when to take them.
- An asthma diary where you record peak expiratory flow (PEF) and the triggers that cause asthma symptoms.
- Steps to take and medicines to use to treat an asthma attack early, before it becomes severe.
- What to do if an attack becomes an emergency, and where to get medical treatment.
Using an asthma action plan can help you stay active with fewer asthma problems. Following your plan is a big step toward controlling the disease so you can live the life you want.
How To
Develop your plan
- Work with your doctor to make an
asthma action plan
(What is a
for you or your child. The action plan is based on peak flow and asthma
symptoms. These help your doctor know how bad your asthma is. An action plan
may include:
- The peak flow readings and symptoms for each zone.
- What medicines to take in each zone.
- When to call a doctor.
- A list of emergency contact numbers.
- A list of your asthma triggers.
- Let your doctor know what you want regarding asthma care. For example, if you are not comfortable using a peak flow meter , tell your doctor.
- If you make an asthma action plan for your child, give a copy to the child's school or caregivers and make sure they know how to use it.
Follow your daily treatment, and use the asthma action plan
- Take your daily medicines to help minimize long-term damage and avoid asthma attacks.
- Check your peak flow regularly, such as every morning. This is the best way to know how well your lungs are working.
- Check your action
plan to see what zone you are in.
- If you are in the green zone (peak flow is 80% to 100% of your personal best), keep taking your daily asthma medicines as prescribed.
- If you are in the yellow zone (peak flow is 50% to 79% of your personal best), you may be having or will soon have an asthma attack. You may not have any symptoms, but your lungs are not working as well as they should. Take the medicines listed in your action plan. If you stay in the yellow zone, your doctor may need to increase the dose or add a medicine.
- If you are in the red zone (peak flow is less than 50% of your personal best), follow your action plan. If your symptoms or peak flow don't improve soon, you may need to go to the emergency room or be admitted to the hospital.
- Use an asthma diary (What is a PDF document?) . Write down your peak flow readings in the asthma diary. If you have an attack, write down what caused it (if you know), the symptoms, and what medicine you took.
Review the plan with your doctor
- Take both the asthma action plan and the asthma diary when you see your doctor. Get answers to any questions you have about your asthma plan or your symptoms. Let your doctor know if treatment is not controlling your asthma attacks.
- Take your peak flow meter and medicines so your doctor can review your treatment.
- Make sure you know how and when to call your doctor or go to the hospital.
- Tell your doctor if you are having trouble following your action plan.

Bruins Talk
A few Bruins miss an optional skate this morning as the team prepares to play Tampa Bay.
The newest Bruin has had trouble adjusting to Boston's system of attack, but coach Claude Julien says he'll get his chance to play.
Andrew Ference and Chris Kelly will be splitting the duties of assistant captain. One will wear the "A" during home games, the other during road games, before switching home and away duties halfway through the year.
Tuukka Rask has played in an NHL game that counts since last year's regular season finale. The Bruins need him to play a larger role this season and will probably start him this weekend.
The defenseman should make his season debut this weekend after dealing with a flu-like illness.
It was a wonderful summer and a glorious opening night celebration, but the 2-1 loss to the Flyers shows that the party's over.
But coach Claude Julien thinks the veteran forward can still play in the NHL.

The Rathskeller, a bar that served Guttenberg in the early 1970s, will be open for public viewing during the weekend of Germanfest. See next week's issue for more details. (Photo submitted)
By Molly Moser
Shepherd Gallery and Creativity Center, located at 214 S. River Park Drive, is planning an open house next door in the basement of the Gutenberg Haus from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, during Germanfest.
Many may remember the building as the Rathskeller Bar and Cafe, as it was known until it was closed in the early 1970's. The Rathskeller is housed in the Albertus Building, which is on the National Historic Register of Historic Places. The familiar building is three stories of two-foot thick rock walls and massive oak crossbeams uniquely constructed by a German immigrant and his wife over a three-year period.
The Albertus family used locally abundant limestone, quarried by hand, and hand-cut oak beams to build one of Guttenberg's finest examples of German architecture. Old-world keystone construction was used throughout the building in windows, doors, and passageways, and in the two vaults in the cellar. Those vaults became the Rathskeller.
Rathskeller is a German word for a bar or restaurant in a basement. The late Doug and Jerri Geuder, who also operated Doug's Steakhouse, opened the Rathskeller in Guttenberg in the early 1970s. Joe Moser ran the bar for the Geuders until 1975, when the establishment closed.

A recent visitor to The Guttenberg Press renewed old acquaintances when he stopped at the place that launched his career in journalism and communications.
Gary Olson and his wife, Carol, of Altamonte Springs, Fla., stopped in Guttenberg during their travels this summer. He made it a point to visit The Press office, still located in the same building where he worked during his school years in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He graduated from Guttenberg High School in 1963.
"I started working at The Press in junior high, writing sports stories for Charlie Millham," he recalls. The young Olson also worked summers at The Press during his high school and college years.
Strolling through the office on his Aug. 6 visit here, Olson pointed out the room that he used for an office, as well as room that served as the office of "Mr. Millham."
Guttenberg's River of Music, a free summer concert series for residents and guests, will feature music by Side Project this Friday, Aug. 22, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the band shelter in the park along the river north of the school.
The group features classic rock and country music. Band members are Aaron and Angela Reed, John Collins, Tim Geuder and Derrick Livingston.
Lowell "Chic" Nieman, 85, of Guttenberg, died Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2014, at the Guttenberg Care Center.
Visitation was Thursday, Aug. 14, at Tuecke-Allyn Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Guttenberg, and one hour before services at the church.
Funeral services were Friday, Aug. 15, at St. John's Lutheran Church, Guttenberg, conducted by Rev. Shane Anderson.
Interment was at Ceres Cemetery, rural Guttenberg.
Guttenberg's city council held conversations with officials from Waverly during an open informational meeting on Aug. 12. Lisa Bennett, CFO of Waverly Health Centers (WHC), Philip Jones, Waverly City Administrator, and Tim Kangas, mayor pro-tem in Waverly, explained the relationship between the City of Waverly and Waverly Health Centers and discussed the hospital's reasons for declining multiple offers of alignment from larger entities.
All city council members attended with the exception of Jane Parker. City Manager Mary Willett, along with Mayor Russ Loven, led the meeting. City Attorney Mike Schuster was also present. Less than a dozen Guttenberg residents attended, and GMH board members and administration were not in attendance.
The meeting arose from a letter of intent delivered to City officials by GMH earlier this year regarding the hospital's ongoing research into potential alignment with UnityPoint Health.
The longear sunfish has been listed as a threatened species in Wisconsin since 1979. The thin, deep-bodied sunfish can be identified by its elongated opercular "ear flap." It is black olive to rusty brown, with ligher colored sides, breast and belly yellow to orange red. The back and sides of the fish can have specks of yellow, orange, emerald and blue. Breeding males are iridescent green above and bright orange below, with ventral fins rusty orange and pelvic fins blue black. (Photo submitted)
The potential discovery of a longear sunfish in Iowa's waters made news last month, and now nationally known experts have agreed that the fish collected in July is indeed a longear sunfish. This is the first confirmed occurrence of the fish in Iowa in 80 years.
DNR Fisheries Technicians Bernie Schonoff and Adam Thiese collected the longear sunfish this July at the Fairport Fisheries station. Once listed as common in bayous around Muscatine, the longear sunfish have been extirpated from the state for more than eight decades. They were last noted in Iowa in 1932.
"The longear live in several states basically from New York south and then east along the Ohio River corridor and then down into Texas. They are fairly abundant in Missouri and they also occur in Minnesota," Schonoff told The Press.
Lilith J. Kickbush, 102, of Guttenberg died Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2014, at the Edgewood Convalescent Home in Edgewood after a long and blessed life.
Visitation was Thursday, Aug. 7, at Tuecke-Allyn Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Guttenberg, and one hour before services at the church.
Funeral services were Friday, Aug. 8, at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Guttenberg, conducted by Rev. Shane Anderson.
Robert F. "Bob" Hyde, 71, of Guttenberg, passed away Monday, Aug. 4, 2014, at his home.
Visitation was Saturday, Aug. 9, at Tuecke-Allyn Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Guttenberg.
A committal service followed at the Ceres Cemetery where military rites were performed.
Bob was born the son of Dale and Anita (Lundt) Hyde on Sept. 10, 1942.
Gregory Eugene Stickfort, 67, of Garnavillo, died Sunday, Aug. 3, 2014, at the University of Iowa Hospitals.
Visitation was before services at the funeral home.
Funeral services were Thursday, Aug. 7, at Tuecke-Allyn Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Garnavillo, conduted by Rev. Hillary Burns-Kite.
Interment was at Garnavillo Community Cemetery.
Guttenberg's River of Music, a free summer concert series for residents and guests, will feature the Guttenberg German Band this Friday, Aug. 15, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the band shelter in the park along the river north of the school.
The evening will feature favorite polkas, traditional German tunes and marches.

Autumn's full moons help dispel the impending darkness
Sunset Friday the 22nd, at 6:17, reveals the full Hunter's Moon rising in the east. Like all full moons, this one rises with sunset and sets with sunrise, around 7:25 this week. The full moon is always juxtaposed to the sun with earth right in the middle. As sunlight washes over the other side of the world, it spills around the planet, striking the face of the moon head-on.
From Zeus' paramour to Arthur's kingdom
The waxing moon reaches first-quarter on the 14th, appearing due south as the sun sets, well before 6:30 this week, and setting around midnight. Each night the moon appears 15 degrees farther east at sunset, and each evening it sets almost an hour later. The night of the 19th, the gibbous moon passes six degrees north of brilliant Jupiter.
The always puzzling Draconids
Thursday's new moon provides an unobscured backdrop for this year's Draconid meteor shower, which peaks at week's end. Not some early Halloween reference to Dracula, this annual meteor shower is named for the constellation Draco the dragon, from which the meteors seem to emanate. It's tricky to predict the rate of the Draconids each year, but there is always the potential for some awesome stellar treats.
The heavenly bull's glare
As darkness settles, the bright glow of Jupiter pierces the east-southeast horizon, by far the brightest light in the sky, as the moon spends this week waning through pre-dawn skies. The gaseous giant is high in the south at midnight, and as dawn nears, it sets beneath the western horizon.
The sun's lost ground is the skywatcher's gain
As if to hammer another nail into summer's coffin, the sun this week sets before 7:00. The darkening sky reveals Venus tight above the southwest horizon, and while the evening star is brilliant at magnitude –4, it, too, is fleeting and sets shortly after the sun.
With the autumnal equinox, that footwear comes to life
Labor Day has come and gone, but the celestial clock still reads summer. While our days are still longer than our nights, we have lost two hours 45 minutes of sunlight over the past three months. After this week, the hours of darkness each day will trump those of light.
There's more to Shaula and Lesath than appears at first glance
Soon after sunset on September 10th and 11th, the nascent crescent moon joins Venus low in the west. These two are the first two lights to appear after sunset, around 7:20 Saturday, when Venus shines six degrees to the right of the moon.
Sunday, the moon and Venus form a loose triangle with the dim star Zubenelgenubi in the constellation Libra.
Less daytime and a waning moon leave plenty to see
With summer on the wane, the sun sets around 7:30 at week's end, shedding more than a minute of evening sunlight each night. In the morning it's more of the same, as the sun rises at 6:37 Saturday and almost a minute later each morning.
One of our greatest feats follows us on four legs
When you look to the constellations, it's like paging through history. Creatures abound in the constellations, both real and fanciful. We see kings and queens, beasts and heroes, all recounting the travails and triumphs of ancient times. Today, many are obscure and unfamiliar.

most teens, showcasing their talents in front of millions of prying eyes—and
ears—can be frightening. But Rachel, who packed her bags and moved to L.A. with
her parents a couple years ago to pursue her dreams, doesn't seem to flinch.
And even though she didn't walk away with the top prize on FOX's reality
singing competition last year, she's pushing through to the top, inspiring
other teens to do the same.
just released her self-titled EP in June, has popped up on Nickelodeon in
episodes of Fred: The Show and Figure It Out. Oh, yea, and she's
spending the summer on the road with Big Time Rush and Cody Simpson. Can you
say jealous?!

dogs are running after him," she describes life on the road. Hilarious!

Learn to deal
with mean girls. "Hold your head up," the "Mean Girls" singer says of
handling school bullies. "Just saying 'thank you' and walking away will really
confuse them. You kind of have to look into their life and know that they're
[the ones who are] insecure."
Perfect your
back-to-school 'do. "Use a lot of conditioner," the cutie advises other
curly-haired gals. "I really like peach tree oil conditioner because it smells really good. Leave a little bit in and
comb it out after you shower. And then get any kind of curly serum and let it
air dry. Sometimes I'll turn [my head] over and put my fingers through it and
it will get really big. Or you can get a small curling iron and curl those [strands]
that just don't want to curl."
Stock up on
"Sometimes you're gonna have papers you need to keep, so just get a magnet and
stick it in your locker so you know where it is. Not the ones with sayings on
them, though. I've had them before, and lots of people wanted to take
them—especially boys. Just colorful ones would be good."
Start an
end-of-summer tradition. "My mother and I always had a tradition that she would take
me to get my first couple of back-to-school outfits and school supplies. We'd
get them and be really excited!"
"It's something [from the] inside. You just gotta put out that aura that you're
secure in your own skin. Honestly, when I see a girl walking down the street
and she seems confident, I just think, 'That is a beautiful person.'"
Catch Rachel
at a Big Time Rush show. "I have this colorful, 10-foot flower on my stage, this
colorful boom box and podium I stand on and these backgrounds that are just out
of this world," Rachel says of the show. "And then Cody's got this cool, rugged
metal-color look. And then there's Big Time Rush's background that's like an
unfinished building. There are fireworks. It's just really cool."

DD Blanchard Magnolia In Austin
I know Southern Magnolia isn't generally recommended for our area, but I'm tempted to try one none the less. If I follow through, I'd want a larger variety. DD Blanchard has piqued my interest as there's several of them growing in my neighborhood that are probably about 10 years old and seem to be doing well. I've also read that this cultivar is faster growing and produced less leaf litter than the species. Anyone have experience or thoughts on this?
BTW, I'm in SW Austin. Our soil is a few feet of rocky clay before hitting bedrock. Perfect conditions for Magnolias, right? :^P
We have the same 6 or 7 ft of clay over limestone in our part of Dallas. The 30+ year old southern magnolia on our property line does fine with the bit of water it gets from the "as needed" (~weekly in summer) lawn watering on our side of the fence. Neighbors do not water at all. A beautiful tree that perpetually sheds a few (and seasonally a ton) of those rigid leaves, so assume it is not a DD Blanchard. You're a little warmer and drier than us, but bet it would not take an exorbitant amount of supplemental water to keep one healthy on or near the blackland prairie side of Austin once it's established. Maybe you could check with a neighbor that has one to see how much extra water they have been providing.
UT Dallas recently planted a double allée of 116 magnolia trees flanking a series of linear reflection pools. Figured the groundskeepers would stay busy keeping the pools clear of magnolia debris based on the amount of leaves our neighbor's tree sheds. Glad to learn they may have been able to use a "neater" cultivar.

I get the feeling that while they like water, they're not as big of hogs as people make them out to be. I'm just looking for confirmation...
My guess is the ones in the neighborhood just get their once a week allotted watering with the lawn and that's it.
It seem Magnolias in general are more prevalent in the DFW area, bostedo. I know you get a little bit more rain than we do up there. I guess that's the difference. It's certainly every bit as hot and it sounds like the soils aren't terribly different.
Any other thoughts?
My guess would be that the type of soil you have is the most significant factor. Much of Dallas proper sits on mildly alkaline blackland prairie clay with little limestone content other than where it has been disturbed.... and the magnolias do seem to like it. Sounds like you still have mostly clay, but more limestone - which implies a higher pH. This can cause some concerns mentioned in the linked article. However, if the neighbors have been growing healthy well developed trees for a decade on weekly lawn watering, seems like pretty low risk to plant one in your part of Austin.
Here is a link that might be useful: Magnolias and their care in the greater Austin area
Forgot to mention I agree they are not as bad water hogs (in the right locations) as their reputation seems to imply. Our neighbor's magnolia (which is only about 10ft from our house) receives less water from the lawn sprinklers than the Shumard oak, live oak, cedar elm, Chinese pistache, and crape myrtles that are on our lot (or property line) as well as the fruitless mulberries, redbuds, and sugar/hack berries it has outlived. It does seem to drop more leaves when dry, such as during the triple digit run of 2011, but has never looked "thin". So can believe it could do well in the moisture retaining clay soil parts of Austin as long as its roots can catch a weekly deep lawn watering.
Seems the real risk is how well it could survive compared with natives IF yard watering were ever banned for any length of time. Less sure about this as our trees have always received the "as needed" water required to keep the SA lawn alive. If shut off tomorrow, maybe the magnolia would be the first to go... after the St. Augustine.
In the drought in 2011, there were several fairly well established magnolias in my old neighborhood that either died or experienced significant die back where the people didn't water at all. Where people did their once a week watering, theirs pulled through fine. These are the old school ones, not any of the cultivars too. Especially in a city that loves its trees like Austin, even if lawn watering was banned outright, I think they'd still allow some sort of exceptions for trees.
I was always under the impression that with reasonable care, they do fine around here. I just needed some reassurance I guess.

Apparatus for carbureting air or gases for illuminating purposes

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
(No Model.)
Apparatus for Garbureting Air or Gases for Illuminating Purposes.
Patented Aug. 24, I880.
zen of the United States, residing at Madizontal partitions c.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,635, dated August 24, 1880. Application filed March 30, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM WEST, a citisonville, Hamilton county, Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Garbureting Air or Gases for Illuminating Purposes, of which the following is a specification.
The hydrocarbon fluids ordinarily used for carbureting air or gases for illuminating purposes are composed, as is well known, of liquids of different specific gravities, of which the lighter and more volatile, and consequently richest for the purpose, are in the methods and apparatus'a't'p'resent employed generally first consumed, leaving the heavier and poorer portions as a residue practically wasted. In this use of the fluids the light produced is of a constantly-decreasing brilliancy until a fresh] supply of the fluid is put into the carbul reter and the result repeated.
It is the object of my invention to remedy this difficulty and provide an apparatus where by the hydrocarbon fluid may be preserved at a uniform gravity while being used for this purpose, thereby maintaining a light of uniform intensity until the liquid is entirely consumed.
To this end my invention consists in theimproved apparatus for utilizing hydrocarbon fluids in earburetin g air or gases, as more fully hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
My invention is embodied in mechanism illustrated in the drawings, in which Figurel is a vertical section of my improved carbureter, showing its chambers and connections. Figs. 2 and 3 are plan sections, on asomewhat reduced scale, taken on the lines as w and y 3 respectively.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
A in the drawings is the carburetor, which is substantially of cylindrical form and divided into three main sections or compartments-B, thecondensing or purifying chamber; (J, the carbureter proper, and D, the receiving and settling tank.
The chamber 0 may be divided into any number of compartments, separated by hori- The space in each comh, and aftertraversing the entire series of channels emerges into the condensing and purifying chamber B, and thence by pipe M to the service-pipes.
I use sponge or other suitable material in the carbureting-chambers as an absorbent, which, by capillary attraction, takes up the hydrocarbon fluid, and thus exposes it in a highly-divided state to the air or gas by which it is to be absorbed, thereby more thoroughly saturating and carbureting the air or gas for illuminating purposes.
Interposed between the return-channels constituting the carbureting-chambers E are the reservoirs F, which consist, also, of returnconduits arranged transversely across each compartment between the carburetingchambers E, and communicating at each end with the exterior channel, F, in each separate compartment. 0verflow-pipes g are arranged at alternate sides of the compartments to take any excess of liquid supplied to the upper chambers into those below successively, and
'fromthe lowest of the series into the receiving-tank D.
In the present illustration of my invention the channels F are formed by side walls, f f, and a top wall, f, upon which latter the partitions 6 rest. Tight joints are made at all points of connection of the dividing-partitions, excepting where the side walls, f f, rest upon the floor of the compartment, where a narrow slit or series of openings is left, through which the hydrocarbon liquid passes into the carbureting-chambers, thus supplying them uniformly throughout their entire length. v
The height of the overflow-pipes 9 above the floor of each compartment determines the 9 ames height to which the liquid can rise any excess passing downward from one compartment to another and into the receivingreservoir D.
The form of the distributing-reservoirs is immaterial. They may be of triangular or inverted-U-shaped section, or may be pipes merely with suitable perforations, provided, however, that the communication between the reservoirs and carbureting-chambers is, preferably, at or near the bottom of the reservoirs. It is not necessary that the distributing-reservoirs should be located or arranged between the carbureting-chambers, as shown in the drawings.
The reservoirs may be arranged wholly without the carbureting-chambers, as at F, and distributing-pipes merely be employed to conduct and feed the hydrocarbon fluid to the absorbents; or the reservoirs may be arranged wholly within the carbureting-chambers, thus combining the functions of distributing-pipes and reservoirs proper.
It will be observed that the relative dimensions of the compartments and of the reservoirs and carbureting-chambers increase from above downward, in order that a greater quantity of liquid may be contained in the lower chambers, where the absorbing capacity of the air is greatest, and consequently a larger amount of fluid is required to supply the requirements of use.
H is the filling-pipe and also the pump. It extends vertically through the carbureter into the receiving-reservoir D to near its bottom. It is provided below with a valve, t, lifting upward, and at a point above the carburetingcompartment 0 is a side pipe, K, leading from the pipe H to and into the upper terminus of the distributing-conduits I.
It will be observed that in filling the apparatus through the pipe H the valve t'prevents the flow in that direction, and the liquid will pass through the side pipe, K, and thence through the reservoirs F, through the carbureter into the tank D.
In the pipe H is placed a pump-rod carrying below a piston containing an upwardlylifting valve, which thus constitutes the pipe H a complete pump. By the use of this the chambers maybe at anytime replenished from the bottom of the tank D by a few strokes of the pump-rod, and any excess find its way back again to the tank by means of its overflowpipes. This arrangement also furnishes a means of ascertaining the exhaustion of the storage-tank always before the chambers are entirely exhausted, and thus gives plenty of time for a new supply, and the capacity of the tank D being known, there need never be any excess of liquid placed in it.
A vent-pipe, L, by which airis permitted to pass out of the reservoirs in filling, is arranged alongside of the filling-pipe H, so that the plug p, which constitutes the handle of the pumptherein, 1 rod, also serves as a stopper to both pipes when out of use; or the vent-pipe may be pro vided with a stop-cock.
In the ordinary operation of the reservoirs the carbureted air passes in as the fluid passes out, thus rendering the feeding action of the reservoirs entirely automatic. I
I am aware that it is not new to arrange dis tributing-reservoirs adjacent to the carburet= ing-chambers for feeding purposes; also that an overflow-tank has been arranged in connection with the chambers of acarbureting apparatus, with pumps for restoring the hydrocarbon fluid to the apparatus; and such, broadly, I disclaim.
Having described myinvention,I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The carbureting apparatus consisting of a closed vessel divided by horizontal partitions into a series of carbureting-chambers with a bottom reservoir, the chambers being provided with overflow-pipes communicating downward into the reservoir, in combination with a vertical pipe arranged within the yes sel and extending from near the bottom of the reservoir entirely through the chambers, provided with a lateral discharge-pipe into the upper carbureting-chamber and with a footvalve and lifting-plunger, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. In a carbureting apparatus, the combination and arrangement in one vessel of a series of carbureting-chambers, one above another, divided by suitable partitions into a substantially continuous carbureting passage and a fluid reservoir, and a storage tank beneath, with which the fluid-reservoir communicates by overflow-pipes, substantially as set forth.
3. In a carbureting apparatus, the combination of a carbureting-passage or connected series of passages provided with capillary absorbent material, a feeding-reservoir adjacent thereto throughout and communicating by overflow with a reservoir, with a pump for replenishing the feeding-reservoir from the bottom of the overflow-reservoir, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
4. The combination, in a carbureting apparatus, of a cylindrical vessel divided by horizontal partitions into a bottom reservoir, aseries of carbureting-chambers, and a condensing-chamber, the carbureting-chambers being vertically divided into a substantially continuous air-passage opening into the condensingchamber above and into fluid-reservoirs communicatin g by overflow-pipes with bottom chamber or reservoir, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
