Waiting for water to come
Towns along Red fortified for flood
MORRIS -- Back in April 1997, before the Red River became a sea, Emerson Mayor Wayne Arseny got a phone call from a reporter in Toronto who asked a simple question: "How many sandbags do you have?"
Arseny was a little stumped. "I don't know. Five?" "You mean, 5,000?" the confused reporter asked.
"No," Arseny replied. "Five."
That was before the army arrived, before the town was evacuated for almost a month and before a temporary six-foot-high plywood wall was erected on top of the town's dike. And before most of the real estate between Emerson and Winnipeg looked like the set of the movie Waterworld.
Times have changed. These days, the Emerson dike has been built two feet higher than the 1997 Red River crest. When the crest peaks again this spring, the dike will be patrolled around the clock by local firefighters on the lookout for soft spots or gopher holes.
"It's been a big change since '97," Arseny said. "There's a calm about the emergency we face now. It's more of a process of being watchful."
That's about all that's left to do now -- watch.
On Friday, Premier Greg Selinger and provincial flood officials made a quick tour of the rural front lines against Red River flooding, which this spring is being forecast as "moderate to high risk."
Arseny is well aware of forecasts in North Dakota for a snowfall between 15 and 20 centimetres this weekend. Precipitation is also expected in southern Manitoba.
"It's an ongoing process of staying on top of it (flood forecasts) while preparations go on," Selinger said, "then giving people as much warning as possible to know what's coming at them. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
"Keeping in touch with the local officials that run the local emergency committees and having our provincial officials out here just increases the flow of communication, so when something needs to get done, it can get done rapidly," the premier said.
"People know each other on a first-name basis. They have the communications channels clearly identified, and that makes all the difference in a crisis."
The ring dikes built and fortified around communities along the Red since 1997 have lessened the drama of floods. However, the vulnerability of Highway 75 remains a key concern for residents in communities such as Emerson and Morris.
Selinger reiterated Friday it's "highly likely" Highway 75 will be closed again this spring due to flooding. In 2009, the highway was closed for 38 days. "If it goes to that (2009) level, it's likely, almost certain, that the road will be closed for a period of time," the premier said.
Morris Mayor Gavin van der Linde said raising Highway 75 between the communities of Aubigny and St. Jean Baptiste, a stretch of about 35 kilometres, is under consideration.
"The main issue facing us is an economic one when the highway shuts down, as well as the inconvenience of driving around town," van der Linde said.
"In the past, the province has done a really good job of protecting homes and communities. Now, it's moving into a phase where the infrastructure needs to be protected, and Highway 75 is the key piece of infrastructure that needs to be protected."
Arseny agreed, noting "the last thing a community wants is to get cut off."
Van der Linde and Selinger cautioned that plans to raise Highway 75 must first ensure other communities and area farmland are not hurt.
"We want to find a solution that will ensure not only Morris is better off, but everybody is better off," Selinger said.
Is the premier preparing Manitobans for the worst?
"I said from the very beginning we shouldn't take anything for granted," Selinger replied.
"Remember in 1997 we had that big storm in April... and that made all the difference in terms of how the '97 situation got. You will recall the newspapers saying, 'Whew, no floods'.
"Then a week later we're into one of the worst floods in the history of the province."

[WARNING!] I had a horrible reaction to taking a reputable brand of organic peppermint oil (one drop) in a quarter cup of water to stop a cough. Immediately upon drinking I began to feel dizzy and almost passed out. The dizziness and weakness lasted approximately two weeks and about four days respectively. It didn't help my cough either.

[YEA] I tried Claussen Kosher Dill Pickle Juice. After reading your other post .. I tried to find something with vinegar.. I could not stop coughing badly..found pickle juice, the kind that is found in chiller section at the store.. this also has garlic in it..Work within seconds have been taking little sips. That is all as it is high in salt.. but that seems to be clearing congestion as well.

[YEA] I used raw uncooked unfiltered honey on a watered down cotton swab as far back as possible in each nostril. alleluya!!i am a 51 year old male and get a yearly cough during the winter months that can last 1 to 3 weeks. sometimes it is bacterial with greenies at the start but most of the duration after that is just the clear sinus dranage that goes on for days after and some may be due to allergies of spring. this cough is the kind that is most severe in the nightime hours. the logic i used is that the cough was more of a gag reflex from the nasal drip and i thought if i good change the chemistry of the nasal drip closer to the source befor it reached my throat it may work plus the aromatic qualities being as close to the source may help. i also wanted something that would last . i figured it is almost as thick as vick's vapo rub so vhala miraculous discovery. the night i used a small amount it lasted about 2-3 hours so i got up and put more on the second dose. the 2nd-3rd night i used a healthy size swab dose at 10-30pm and slept till 6am by the fourth day i stopped and the cough was gone. unreal!!!!!!! at first appox 5-10 minutes it feels slightly irratible but no more than water from a swimming pool going up your nose. it worked for me but i am not recomending it to anyone, but please please if you try it let me know how it worked: tunaman40@aol. best of health to all

[YEA] Riboflavin B2 100mg right before bedtime will take care of sinus drainage.It will work in about 20 minutes. If not,try up to 250mg. I had severe sinus drainage for years.I found it hard to sit through meetings,church etc, without coughing my head off. I would eat and have a reaction to food and start coughing uncontrollably.Sometimes medications worked,sometimes not. Sometimes I would double up on medication. Now I take NOTHING!

[YEA] If you have severe cough, dry cough, wet cough, make Star Anise seed tea and drink once an hour. May be 3 or 4 times a day.
Before I was using Flax Seed Tea, but star anise seed tea works even faster and easy to make than Flax Seed Tea. Make sure you treat for your underlying cause as well bronchitis, allergies, mold, lung infection, copd.
To Make Star Anise Tea
Boil 300 ml of water add 5 Star Anise Seeds. Boil for 10 mins in medium heat. Add 2 or 3 drops of Eucalyptus Oil. When it is drinking hot add honey or other sweetner.
Drink it once an hour till your cough subsides. Usually it works in 1 tea.
Honey and Eucalyptus Oil are optional.
Star Anise Seeds and Anise Seeds both are same.
You can get Star Anise Seeds in Desi Stores, but it is availabe in most of the stores.
The best part is it is very tasty and children will like it.
Please give feedback if it worked for you.

[YEA] When anyone in my home, (including guests)have a cough, I get out my largest pot fill it with water Add 1 tablespoon of Oregano and 1 tablespoon of Thyme, turn to a simmer once it comes to a boil. Have a person stand over the steam and breath deep, this will make them cough up anything in the lungs. Breath in the steam until coughing is eased. Leaving the pot on simmer, adding water and more of the herbs if needed. I find that at least two days is the time frame to illuminate a bad cough. This combination takes care of both viral and bacterial causing coughs. Can be used with other remedies. I put this in a crock pot on low in sick rooms if the aroma doesn't reach from the kitchen.
[YEA] Sometimes I got rid of a bronchitis with raw garlic but a stubborn dry cough persists. I get rid of that by inhaling water with a simple steam inhaler 3 times a day for 5 - 10 minutes. The dry cough is gone within 4 - 5 days. God bless to all!

[YEA] There's a remedy I recently tried to cure my cough that has lasted for more than two weeks and i got the recipe from my mother. You're supposed to get any kind of regular tea then heat it up with water. After that you get a fresh lemon and squeeze the juice into the tea. You can add some sugar to make it taste better.

[YEA] Dear Earthclinic, I just mixed 2 Tablespoon of ACV with 1/4 Teaspoon baking soda in 8 oz of water as mentioned by Ted. However, the pH strip tested a 5.0 acidity on this mix. I then added another 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and remixed it and tested it again -- this time the solution became neutralized to 7.0. So perhaps the correct mix should be 2 TBS of ACV to 1/2 TSP of baking soda? Just wanted to confirm with you all. By the way, I drank this today and my cold seems to be melting away! My coughing has stopped (after several days of cough attacks) and I am so relieved!!! Thanks so much for such a wonderful site!!! I am learning something new everyday! Regards, Citrine

[YEA] Wow! I tried the witch's brew (tbsp of butter, sugar and apple cider vinegar)! My cough went away almost immediately! Tastes nasty but it sure worked. Thanks!
[YEA] For a cough that will not stop, make a remedy my brother and I always called Witches Brew. This was from my Great Grandmother.
Mix 1 Tbs Butter
1 Tbs Sugar
1 Tbs Vinegar
Melt it all together, and take while still warm
EC: You might try substituting Olive Oil for the butter!

[YEA] My 79 year old Mother had an upper respiratory infection. She could not shake the cough. I had recently read an article that said steep 1 teaspoon of your kitchen variety thyme in a cup of hot water, as you would a teabag, and sip. She tried it and it worked. Encouraged, I told my friend who has the start of COPD about it, she tried it and is amazed also. The article stated it relaxes the bronchials. Yet another alternative.

[YEA] Yea apple cider vinegar worked, I am a physician who has been coughing for a few weeks, I think it is a post viral residual inflammation, and I did not want to medicate with inhalers, in any case I tried this and so far so good (1.5 hr cough free)

09/25/2012Hi, Thanks for the tip, I'll try it tonight.
Update; last night was horrible. It's slowly getting worse; I'm afraid I'm keeping all the neighbors up all night.... my chest and throat is now very sore from coughing.
So far I've tried all the different variations of ACV, echinacea-goldenseal, variations with honey in milk, in acv, in lemon, in tea, cough syrup, cough drops, garlic, and someone told me to buy elderberry so yesterday I bought that and took several doses throughout the afternoon and before bed, together with a bronchial remedy. All to no avail. Oh and I've tried heat, steaming, hot baths, and salt. I'd love to try the anise remedy but don't think I'll survive this anotehr two weeks...
Again, there's no phlegm. There is a little saliva if I cough really hard. Or a little blood, if my coughing attach is really bad. I almost throw up and am gasping for air. When it stops, I'm fine, I don't feel sick, I'm still working; I'm just so tired from three weeks of not sleeping much.
I'm starting to think this is not an average cough at all. I had many as a child, and this feels very different. There is this tickle in my lungs and throat. It's very bothersome, sometimes it goes away for alittle but then comes back. Any change in air temperature or air quality, like if I enter a stuffy building, sets me off. I tried picking up take-out at the chinese restaurant the other day and had to spend 15 mins in the restroom until the tickle and cough spasms calmed down.
They were doing some air-duct work, taking out old and installing new, right were I was working, when I got this. I feel like my body is trying to get rid of something, like dust in my thoat.
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks Again!Replied by Gigi

09/25/2012Hi, I always go alternative medicine first, but sometimes you need to see a doctor. My sister had a persistent cough and the doctor told her it was bronchitis. Many months went by and it didn't get better. Turned out it was lung cancer. I don't mean to scare you but if it's not going away maybe you should look further.Replied by Suzy

09/25/2012I agree that you should get checked out. I was diagnosed with asthma last year. You may have to be on an inhaler for awhile... But once under control you can try more natural methods and ease off the meds. My asthma is allergy induced, and it sounds very similar to the symptoms you described. Once you know "your enemy" than you can fight it more effectively.Replied by Aurora

09/25/2012Thanks for all the suggestions!
I was at work today and the dust set me off. I'm starting to see some pattern. I was told by someone at work that I most likely have a form of pneumonia ( I guess it can be caused by irritants/allergies, by virus, by bacteria, and by parasites........ ) Since I'm up and fever is low, probably walking pneumonia.... It gets slowly worse after the 2nd week. Dry cough, and difficulty sleeping due to coughing at night. The reason I don't think astma at this point is that it isn't cronic; I don't generally have coughs at all. Not colds or flu either...
So yes, in that case I think I need to go see someone, and Lisa (right?), thank you; chinese traditional medicine sounds perfect. I'm actually not against allopathic medicine for appropriate cases, but I already know what they would give me for this, (antibiotics) and I don't do well on them at all. For every time I take antibiotics I pay with a year of infections and side-effects.....
I will share when I know for sure what it was.
Many Blessings, AuroraReplied by Lisa

09/26/2012Hi Aurora, I am absolutely certain the TCM drs can help you. What you describe is what I used to experience and just hated it. It would keep me up all night! I haven't had this condition in a very long time at this point and as I said, it was my acupuncturist who explained what was going on. The lungs don't have the chi to kick up and out what is irritating them and so the coughing is futile and yet the body keeps doing it. It knows what it's supposed to do, it's just that it's not working! I hope you can get there soon. Wishing you the best, LisaReplied by Aurora

10/09/2012Hi, an update after a couple of weeks and two acupuncture treatments; Still coughing, but now, with Chinese herbs, getting a little phlegm. And I'm finally getting some sleep. Not full nights, but a lot better than before!
One odd detail; I'm discovering that a great many in this Bay area getting cough at the same time. No cold, went straight to lungs. I'm not sure that it is contagious, since everyone seemed to get sick at the same time.... seemed to last 2-4 weeks.
Maybe my lungs are just alittle more "gunked up" than others due to my work.
Thanks, AuroraReplied by Lisa

10/09/2012Hi Aurora, I'm so glad you followed through and went the Chinese medicine/ acupuncture route. I am absolutely confident you will continue to see improvement as your lung chi strengthens. Also, as the acupuncture and herbs balance you out, you will naturally sleep much better. Chinese medicine is so effective because it sees the whole body working synergistically and restores balance through the meridians. The adaptogen herbs adjust the body as well and then strengthen your being. With this understanding, you will be able to be around sick people but, now you're strong so are not affected by their illness. At least, that has been my experience. I am around sick kids all the time since I teach ballet all the time and I never get sick. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress! LisaReplied by Aurora

10/31/2012An update after a few more weeks of Trad. Chinese Med. and Acupuncture for persistent dry cough. Still coughing, but only a few of times a day. Able to sleep most nights. I finished 4 projects of work fine, except had to excuse myself sometimes to go cough; if there is any little thing in the air, it seems to set me off. One of these was while driving, not good. It's like an attach almost, had to get off freeway. Seem to be healing, but maddeningly slow...... Still doing oil-pulling ca 4X/week, but stopped the juicing due to cold weather change, it felt too cold. The oil pulling feels great. The vinegar I couldn't seem to do too many days in a row. Or lemon. Thanks everyone. AuroraReplied by Bagpuss

12/25/2012Hi Aurora, I read through yours and everyone's comments. To me it seems very funny that this came on whilst air conditioning was being removed and renewed. To be honest, straight away I thought Legionaire's! Then you went on to say about pneumonia which is a symptom of Legionaires. Then you said that lots of people in the same area had the same symptoms at the same time which would indicate a contamination by bacteria - Legionaires. Please have a read up on Legionaire's and see what you think. I think you may have a mild case of that- yes mild I said which you will agree with when you read the full blown symptoms. Go and see a doctor to may be causing scarring to your lungs especially if there is blood. I would definately have them xrayed and get a good doctor's opinion though. You can't be too careful when it's something that's unusual. Listen to your gut instinct.

I am going to be brewing tonight, it's supposed to be in the single digits, then down to -15 overnight (brrr!). I am going to do everything but the boil indoors, but I thought I would post and see if anyone has any reason for me not to brew in this cold!
I assume I will have a higher evap. rate. But I also assume I shouldn't have a problem getting the boil going.
Wish me luck!
I brewed today at 25 and got more boil off. Bundle up and hang close to the kettle. At least I had some sun.
I wonder if a CHEAP tent would help? I've used tents as temporary paint booths and super portable and cheap ice houses and the right tent (especially those old canvas ones) can actually stay pretty warm. And probably especially warm with a burner and kettle. Just make sure you don't use all your oxygen if you're in there with it.
I brewed in the freaking cold today, and when I turned my hose bib line back on, nothing. Something must have frozen near the house exit.
That was a fun scramble with 5.5 gallons of extremely hot liquid that needed to get down stairs to my basement basin. Oh well, alls well that ends well, I suppose.
I would have loved to brew today even in the bitter cold, but I'm sick as a friggin dog. Hope whoever brewed today, cold or warm, enjoyed every minute of it.
I brewed last night outside in the single digits. I seemed to have a lot more boil off than normal. Must've looked like my house was on fire with the huge cloud I produced.
I set my Indian Brown on the concrete slab for a few minutes and ended up having a beer slushy.
I was prepared to make a 5 gallon batch of Orfy's Mild, but hit my SG with just over 4 gallons of brew. Not sure why this happened, seems like any boil off would be just water. Any ideas?
the temp would be enough reason for me not to brew. it was 52 here today, and as i brew in my garage, it wasn't too cold
1: Empty
2: Scottish Export 80
3: Hef-wit
Fermenting: English Mild, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barkshack Mead
I think that I'm going to brew a batch at the ice house this year - that would be fun!
All I would need to do is haul out a bunch of water.
Sweetcel: "try this, it was dry-hopped with a lot of climax."
i am brewing in az today. its 72 outside. i have every window in the house open and game on TV. i love AZ....at least 8 months out of the year

Warren man arrested on drug charges
by Emily Waldrep
On January 19 at approximately 3 p.m, a Tyler County Sheriff's deputy was on patrol in the Warren area when he noticed a vehicle that did not have a front license plate. The deputy initiated a traffic stop and identified the driver as Timothy King, age 37, of Warren.
According to Tyler County Sheriff Bryan Weatherford, it was determined that King had an expired driver's license and was operating an unregistered motor vehicle that had been out since March of 2007. The deputy obtained consent to search the vehicle and checked the trunk area, where he observed a clear plastic bag on the floor that contained a off white crystal substance that field tested positive for methamphetamines, Weatherford said.
King was arrested and charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, third degree felony. The amount of the substance was 4.7 grams.
Evidence is being forward to the DPS crime lab in Houston for verification and final weight analysis.
King is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

RECIPE: Lemony Moroccan-Style Chicken Kebabs
I made this last fall and we loved it (just dug out the recipe and plan to make it this week). I used chicken breasts instead of thighs and I only used a yellow bell pepper and added thick zucchini slices on the grill. You need to use a small sharp knife to scrape the peel away from the pith (not a spoon!). It was great with pilaf. Ann
Lemony Moroccan-Style Chicken Kebabs -- by Bruce Aidells
Microwaving the lemons is a quick method for giving them the flavor of preserved lemons.
For the marinade:
2 lemons
6 cloves garlic, peeled
2 (1/8") thick slices peeled fresh ginger
1 tsp. dried marjoram
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground turmeric
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch saffron threads
1 tsp. light brown sugar
2-1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbs. olive oil
For the kebabs:
2-1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 2" chunks
1 sweet onion (like Vidalia), cut into 1" pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1" squares
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1" squares
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish
For the Yogurt-Lemon Sauce:
1 seedless cucumber, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
Kosher salt
Make the marinade:
Cut four deep, lengthwise gashes, equally spaced, into each lemon. Put the lemons and garlic cloves in a small microwavable container. Cover and microwave on high until the lemons are soft and juice has exuded from them, about 4 min. (If not soft, continue to microwave in 30-second intervals). Strain the juice into a small container and let the lemons and garlic cool briefly. When the lemons are cool enough to handle, separate them into sections. Scrape the pulp and most of the white pith away with a spoon; discard. Put the scraped lemon peels, garlic, lemon juice, and remaining marinade ingredients in a blender and pur to make a coarse, soft paste. Set 2 Tbs. aside to use for the yogurt sauce.
Marinate the chicken:
Put the chicken into a 1-gallon zip-top bag; scrape in the remaining marinade. Massage the bag to coat all the chicken pieces and marinate for 1 to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Grill the kebabs:
Build a medium-hot charcoal fire or heat a gas grill to medium high. Dump the chicken into a bowl, but donÂt scrape off any excess marinade. Put the onion and peppers in the marinade bag and massage them to coat with the marinade (itÂs fine if the onion pieces break apart). Transfer to another bowl. Thread the chicken onto skewers, positioning a piece of onion and pepper between the pieces of chicken. If thereÂs extra pepper or onion, thread them onto separate skewers, if you like.
When ready to grill, oil the grill grate. Grill the kebabs over direct heat (uncovered for charcoal; covered for gas), turning the skewers every 2 to 3 min. until the chicken is firm and shows no redness when cut into, about 10 to 15 min. Check several pieces of chicken to be sure.
Make the sauce:
Combine the reserved 2 Tbs. marinade with the cucumber, cilantro, yogurt, and 2 tsp. salt. Mix well. (Make the sauce no more than an hour before serving or it will be too watery).
Remove the chicken and vegetables from the skewers and serve them in a mound with the yogurt sauce on the side. Serves 6.
From Fine Cooking 72, pp. 53 June 1, 2005
Yum, thanks Ann. All the spices sound good to me - I'm always a little cautious when a savory recipe calls for cinnamon, but it seems like such a small amount compared to everything else, I think I can take the chance :)
We happen to love thighs and so that's what I'll use!
I feel the same way (about using cinnamon in a savory dish) but I didn't use my stronger cinnamons. I used the regular cinnamon from the supermarket and it blended in with the other spices. The marinade set aside that eventually goes into the yogurt sauce makes it taste so good. Hope you like it! Ann

Whenever Father's Day rolls around, I am usually befuddled by what to get my Papa, but ever since this blogging thing started, gift giving has become a whole lot easier. What do you give the man that has everything? Simple. Kick ass Craft Beer and Whisk(e)y!
In years past, I have gone out on a limb and bought him beers that I've never had before, but this time around, I decided to go with beers that I was sure he would enjoy. This past Father's Day, I gave my Papa the following Craft Beers: Chatoe Rogue Good Chit Pilsner, Goose Island Sofie, and The Lost Abbey Red Barn Ale which is the subject of this review. Essentially, I gave my Papa the greatest gift of all: the opportunity to share a beer with his favorite son (I am also his only son. Funny how that works).
Here is what Tomme Arthur of The Lost Abbey has to say about their Red Barn Ale: Continue reading

I am having trouble reading a specific integer from a file and I am not sure why. First I read through the entire file to find out how big it is, and then I reset the pointer to the beginning. I then read 3 16-byte blocks of data. Then 1 20-byte block and then I would like to read 1 byte at the end as an integer. However, I had to write into the file as a character but I do not think that should be a problem. My issue is that when I read it out of the file instead of being the integer value of 15 it is 49. I checked in the ACII table and it is not the hex or octal value of 1 or 5. I am thoroughly confused because my read statement is
read(inF, pad, 1) which I believe is right. I do know that an integer variable is 4 bytes however, there is only one byte of data left in the file so I read in only the last byte.
My code is reproduced the function(it seems like a lot but it don't think it is)
the code is
#include <fcntl.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
char x;
int y;
int bytes = 0;
int num = 0;
int count = 0;
num = open ("a_file", O_RDONLY);
bytes = read(num, y, 1);
printf("y %d\n", y);
return 0;
To sum up my question, how come when I read the byte that stores 15 from the text file, I can't view it as 15 from the integer representation? Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Sofa Surfer is the story of a 23 years old young woman from Hackney. JRC came to Off Centre to find advice after spending years staying on friends' and relatives' sofas around London.
No-one knows how many young people in London are sofa surfing, stuck in this cycle of hidden homelessness. However, everyone who works with young people knows someone in this situation. Often they are not entitled to accommodation because councils do not consider them to be in priority need for housing but the instability of their housing can affect their health, education and their chance of getting and keeping a job.

Marine Corps forms new fighter jet squadron
One of the problems earlier on in its development was it was heavier than predicted, which would have compromised its unique ability to take off and land vertically, Field said.
It was lightened substantially, but Field said that could also mean structural problems in the long run.
"It remains to be seen if the F-35B has a long life and is structurally sound," said Field, who was the chief test pilot for the F/A-18. "We won't know for two to three years after it's been in operation. If nothing crops up, perhaps the engineers have done their best work."
Its sophisticated stealth capabilities mean that like the Air Force's F-22, the aircraft can fly into enemy territory without being detected by radar.
"All we can do is hope that they have solved all the program problems and that they've got a pretty good airplane," Field said.
Officials at Lockheed Martin Corp. say they have corrected the problems with the aircraft's structure and propulsion in the development phase. The fixes addressed cracking in the interior bulkhead and the inadequate fitting of doors atop the plane that open to allow extra air to reach the engines, among other issues.
There were no accidents or close calls by pilots testing the F-35B, said company spokesman Jack Giese.
The commanding officer of the new squadron, Lt. Col. Jeffrey B. Scott, said the F-35B will give the nation a "giant leap" in its strategic capabilities by being able to drop in quickly to remote trouble spots without the need of having to be launched from a big deck Navy ship. Since the F-35 variants share similarities, the aircraft also will unify the military's air power.
"It flies extremely well. It's got a lot of great capabilities and it is growing into those capabilities," he said, adding later: "If you look at the history of any aircraft during development, this has had no more problems than any other previous aircraft, and we have the engineering solutions."

Pi Day Is Coming — But Tau Day Is Better 241
from the circular-logic dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I read that wrong.
I say we stick with pi. It's too labor-intensive to rewrite all the textbooks to read "tau" instead of "2*pi" and reteach everyone the new formulas.
Being English, old-fashioned and inaccurate, I prefer to celebrate Pi Day on July 22nd.
Tau is twice the constant Pi ever was!
Both are irrational.
For now I don't really see the practical use of remembering Pi to that extent.

2008 Infiniti QX56 4WD
Sumptuous Tank
Infiniti QX56 4WD ReviewFor a vehicle wrapping luxury in a powerful package, look no further than the Infiniti QX56. This sumptuous SUV exhibits a commanding presence on the road, sporting a sturdy all-wheel drive (a two-wheel drive is available) and an intimidating 5.6-liter V8 engine. While it drinks like a fish—its highway gas mileage is 17 mpg—and likes to play on rough terrain, this seven-passenger automobile has a figurative soft spot, which is evident right away with its three-row seating and spacious cabin. Luxury amenities include heated captain's chairs in the first two rows, a power-folding third row and a twelve-speaker Bose audio system.

According to this week's Budget speech, satisfaction with the NHS is rising year on year. While the NHS can be incredible in a crisis - as I discovered when a close friend, in his early forties, went from complaining of headaches and dizzy spells to, 48 hours later, having lifesaving brain surgery - there are other, unsung services that are facing unprecedented cuts.
There is a huge number of creative people that make important, thought-provoking art - on a shoestring, in the back of the pub, after their full-time job, you name it. But art market is competitive and with the advance of Internet - ever changing. We cannot allow creativity and art to become a pursuit solely for financially privileged.
The government must be challenged so that we can create a generation that no longer feels lost or bereft of employment prospects. Not only will this save billions of pounds in public finance, it will also help with the wider economy, reduce crime, support skills shortages, and boost our nation's productivity.
While there has been deliberate targeting of minorities, including Christians and Yazidis, it is clear that acute need exists among people from all religious backgrounds. An estimated 2.2 million people have been displaced across Iraq in the last year and 5.2 million require humanitarian assistance.
Last year when the Manchester dog's home went up in flames I was watching the television and my first thought was how proud I felt that the UK was such a generous nation of animal lovers. However this was swiftly followed by my second, which was, how can we possibly justify raising of £2million for animals when there are children like my eight-year-old son, Harrison, dying every day from fatal illnesses. Harrison has Duchenne, a disease that means he probably won't live to see his 20th birthday. In 2011 I founded Harrison's Fund to raise money to fund research to develop a cure.

A recent LoyaltyOne research shows there are three kinds of American Thanksgiving Day shoppers:
- fifty percent who say all-day shopping hours on Thanksgiving Day are a bad idea that detracts from the traditional celebration;
- thirty-three percent who say stores being open all day Thanksgiving is a great idea that provides more time for holiday gift shopping; and
- seventeen percent who can't make up their mind.
In the all-important Millennial demographic (ages 18-34), attitudes about stores being open all day on Thanksgiving shift dramatically compared to the general population (ages 18-55+). No less than 50 percent of consumers age 18-24 say all-day shopping on Thanksgiving is a great idea. That support dropped only slightly to 48 percent in the 25-34 year-old age group.
Iconic retailer Macy's plans to launch Black Friday shopping at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving evening, which is down from 8 p.m. last year and from midnight in 2011. Other leading retailers are following suit and even one-upping in the case of JCPenney's 5 p.m. opening. Against this backdrop, LoyaltyOne, a global provider of loyalty marketing services and customer analytics, obtained opinions on extended Thanksgiving Day shopping hours from 1001 U.S. consumers in a nationwide survey taken in October 2014. The consumer views provide a window into the likelihood that all-day holiday shopping on Thanksgiving Day will become a reality.
"Savvy retailers put the customer at the center of all their decisions," said Fred Thompson, LoyaltyOne retail practice leader. "Although opening on Thanksgiving Day may lead to incremental sales that day, retailers could risk upsetting their most loyal customers who routinely shop their stores year-round. Retailers should identify who their best customers are and respond with Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales strategies accordingly."
Some other key findings from the research based on various consumer segments include:
- thirty-seven percent of men say being open all day on Thanksgiving is a great idea, compared with twenty-nine percent of women;
- sixteen percent of consumers age 55 and older say that open all day on Thanksgiving is a great idea; and
- forty-percent of consumers in the South say all-day store hours on Thanksgiving is a great idea, compared with 32 percent in the West, 29 percent in the Midwest and 26 percent in the Northeast.
LoyaltyOne's nationwide survey of 1001 U.S. consumers on extended Thanksgiving Day shopping hours has a margin of error, which measures sampling variability of +/- 2.6 at the 90 percent confidence level.

When I was a child, I was always drawn to names that were different. Being a Jennifer born in 1979, there were always so many others with my name. I attended the before and after school program at the local Y in grade school and was allowed to help out in the day care area. I would ask parents how theycame up with the names they had chosen if unusual and loved when there were interesting stories behind the names which there often times were! It just grew as I got older and eventually I did get to name my own children as well.Married to my love since August 2001

Mine started in the 9th grade. I had to write a 10 page story for English and I dived into names for my characters and it spiraled out of control from there. I do remember having an interest in names before that, but what really started the list making and interest in history and meaning was that project. That was 10 years ago, I will love names.

Star Trek fans boldly go ahead with sci-fi choices for children's names
Patrick, Kathryn and William's monikers a tribute to parents' favourite series
|Report an Error
Share via Email
A mutual love of all things Star Trek has this Port Elgin couple in a mind meld.
Save for a bit of tinkering with spellings, these sci-fi devotees boldly went ahead with a Star Trek theme for the names of all three of their children.
Both Shaun and Deb McLaren grew up watching the various Star Trek series — on one of their first dates they watched Deb's favourite, the Enterprise series. "Real romantic," jokes Shaun.
"I was 8 years old when I watched (The Next Generation) from the very first episode. I followed it religiously," says Shaun. "It used to be on Friday nights and I watched it with my mom. It was a family tradition that never stopped."
Deb also watched the series premiere, with her dad. But it wasn't until Shaun met his future in-laws that "I knew I really had something. Her dad took me down into their basement . . . and when he opened up the room, it was a little room devoted to a model train track, and around it, on the whole wall, were Star Trek novels."
Deb's father, a teacher, would spend his lunch hours reading the series. When her parents downsized, Shaun got all the books.
Then, when they were expecting their first child, a boy, "Shaun suggested Patrick for Patrick Stewart — Captain Jean-Luc — I liked it," she recalls. "We changed the spelling slightly, and named our firstborn Patrick Stuart Paul — Patrick and Stuart for the actor and Paul for Shaun's dad."
Patrick was born in April 2005.
Next on board: a daughter, Kathryn Jane Elizabeth, born in January 2007. She's named "for the captain of the Voyager, Kathryn Janeway. Elizabeth is also my mother's middle name," says Deb.
"We weren't sure what female character we really wanted," adds Shaun. "We were thinking at that point, let's go with the captain theme. To be honest, neither of us really cared for Kathryn Janeway — as a character, she really bugged us. But it was a good strong name that fit well with Patrick."
Their third child, another boy, is William Ryker Alan, named after William T. Riker, who is a first officer of the Starship Enterprise. Alan is after Deb's father.
"We kind of ran out of captains we liked," says Shaun. However, "to be fair . . . in the books, he becomes captain — in the movies, too."
Patrick is now 8, Kathryn 6, and William, born in June 2010, is 2 — maybe a bit young to fully appreciate the Star Trek series.
But the next generation of this Port Elgin family has come to love Star Wars, which Shaun sees as a good sign.
"They know where their names come from . . . captains on their own ships, they think that's pretty cool. They are more into Star Wars than anything else, which is almost blasphemy but at least it's science fiction so we can't complain."

No one can match the way JLaw falls on the red carpet or up the steps. Period. She is the ultimate falling diva. Ever. Jennifer Lawrence had her moments of the "falling" fame on the red carpet of 86th Annual Academy Awards on March 2.
Well, she didn't even make it to the red carpet before falling. She came out of her limo, waved and tripped. JLaw tried to grab her friend, but it was too late. In the history of Oscars, Jennifer's name was written for falling at the show for two years in a row.
"This year I did a stair test out on the back staircase and got (the dress) a little dusty, but it worked," said Jennifer.
"I did trip over a cone," said JLaw.
"I'm not safe."
Ellen DeGeneres joked about JLaw's fall in her opening monologue.
"If you win, I think we should bring you the Oscar!"
Jennifer Lawrence Photobombs Like a Boss
Soon, celebrities will pay Jennifer for photobombing. She is natural and classy at it. At the 86th Annual Academy Awards, she photobombed a couple.
Amy Adams Talks About the Kiss with JLaw in "American Hustle"
Amy Adams talked to E!'s Ryan Seacrest about the kiss shared with Jennifer in "American Hustle." She said that Jennifer has full lips with raspberry lip gloss and it ended up surrounding Amy's mouth.
"It was a disaster," said Amy with a laugh.
"Jennifer has very full lips and they were coated with a very bright, bright raspberry red lip gloss. It ended up surrounding my mouth and got all in my mouth. I looked like a clown."
Amy said that they didn't have to do the scene many times, and it was done in two takes.
At the Oscars 2014, Jennifer donned a beautiful red gown by Dior and Amy wore Gucci Premiere strapless sapphire blue gown.
