Thank you for taking some of your time out of your busy schedule to come here and answer our questions. Very awesome!!!! Congrats on the win against the Jags, was a much needed win and glad you guys played so good. My question is about after a win or loss. Is it any different during the week following a loss rather than a win? Is morale different? Do coaches act the same whether it is a win or loss? I'm guessing going to practice is much easier to look forward to rather than following a loss, just curious if there are any differences. Thank you for your time again.
There is a saying in the NFL: "never get too high after a win or too low after a loss". Through out the course of a 17 week season every team has their share of ups and downs but you have to constantly come to work with a plan to get better at something and that's the attitude that we have as a team every week.

My third elemental dragon. The Dragon of Air. His name is Arcon. Like the Serpent it's snake like. It has to forearms and two large wings. This dragon controls the weather. It's most active at daylight. His brother The Dragon of Night is active(aka Mirnah)at nightfall, he to can control weather but is much gentiler than his daylight brother. No wonder there less storms at night than day.

scanning film using an iPad and iPhone.
i was looking at my negatives the other day, using my iPad as a light table...then it came to me that you can use your iPad + iPhone to scan your negatives if you really need to. the results will turn out alot better if you shoot slide film.
there are 3 simple steps:
1. set your iPad to full brightness with a white background, then lay your negatives on top of it
2. using your iPhone, take a photo of the frame you want scanned
3. open up the image in Photoshop Express, then crop, mirror horizontally, and invert the colors.
the resulting image:
more pictures of the process can be seen here:

Re: scanning film using an iPad and iPhone.
hmmmm.... interesting idea! Hadn't thought of it.
I have thousands of medium format 6x7 transparencies from the old film days that I might try this on. But I'll use a lightbox for illumination.
Great idea!

St. Louis, Missouri, October 20, 2004--Energizer is proud to introduce new and improved Amplifier EZ Change. The latest product enhancements have made the worlds only hearing aid battery dispenser even easier to use. Now, a redesign makes the dispenser easier to grip and handle, and recent improvements in battery technology mean that each dispenser contains the longest lasting Energizer batteries ever.
An Energizer survey of audiologists found that 62 percent say they have prescribed hearing aids that use larger, easier-to-handle batteries for their patients, rather than choosing a smaller one that may enable them to hear better. Small instruments may also help overcome vanity issues that can arise with the larger, bulkier hearing aids. With EZ Change, patients can handle even the smallest of batteries, enabling them to wear smaller hearing aids.
More than just a battery, Amplifier EZ Change is a dispenser that is changing the way people change hearing aid batteries. Hearing health professionals can make their patients lives simpler by introducing them to EZ Change, which removes the tab and inserts the battery so patients never have to handle tiny batteries or bother with sticky tabs. Since the battery goes directly from the dispenser to the hearing aid, patients do not need to touch the battery. Reduced handling lessens the chance that the tiny air holes will be clogged by skin oils from their fingers. Amplifier EZ Change also keeps the batteries securely in the dispenser. With traditional spin packs, batteries are more likely to come out of the package and get lost in a pocket or purse. Loose batteries run the risk of being shorted out by keys or loose coins. The benefits of EZ Change really help patients to get maximum battery performance.
New & Improved Amplifier EZ Change is available through participating distributors at a new lower price. As an added bonus, through the end of December 2004, every order of 10 cartons of EZ Change will receive two free cartons plus an Energizer Bunny. Contact your distributor for details or call 1-800-426-8268.
Trust Energizer for cutting-edge technology and long-lasting batteries to keep your patients going. In addition to Amplifier EZ Change battery dispensers, Energizer offers traditional spin pack products, office merchandising and patient education. For more information or a free Amplifier EZ Change sample, call 888-525-5077.

It is regrettable that periodically we must have this conversation! What "fun" is it to sit and spend time flooding the comment section of a blog with all sort of junk. Look, I read and evaluate each comment, and will answer those that call for personal attention. I get hundreds of comments all the time. So that my serious readers understand, I am tired of emails that are lewd, pornographic, attempts to sell internet services, pharmaceuticals, or to entice me to open some link to wherever. PLEASE, KNOCK IT OFF. I will always identify you as spam and delete you; so quit wasting time – both yours and mine!!!! Thank you and God Bless.

Learn about Windows PowerShell
Summary: Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, shows how to use Windows PowerShell to monitor for the creation of new files.
Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. Yesterday's email from KS about his problems with files that contain leading spaces in them got me thinking. Although running a script on demand to find and rename files in a folder might work, it would be better to use an event to monitor the folder for newly created files. Then if the files match the naming pattern discovered yesterday, rename them by using the procedure from the script I posted yesterday in Use PowerShell to Detect and Fix Files with Leading Spaces.
Note For more information about WMI event driven scripts, see An Insider's Guide to Using WMI Events and PowerShell.
Today I am going to develop a WMI event query to detect newly created files in a particular folder. Then I will use this WQL event query tomorrow to create a permanent WMI event consumer. In fact, whenever I am creating a permanent WMI event consumer, I always test it out as a temporary event consumer first. Creating a temporary event consumer with Windows PowerShell 2.0 is really easy, so it only makes sense to take this first step.
The hardest part of creating a WMI WQL event query is, well…just about everything. This stuff does not make much sense. Luckily, if you have WQL event query from VBScript or some other language, it is not too difficult to migrate the query to Windows PowerShell.
When you start trying to do this, however, you run into weird quoting rules that only make a confusing situation more confusing. Luckily, Windows PowerShell can bring some sanity to this part of the process. The secret is to use a here-string. Here-strings are really finicky (they make Morris the Cat seem like an omnivore). The basic syntax is to use a variable to hold the resulting here-string. The here-string begins with an ampersand and an opening quotation mark: @". Everything inside the here-string is interpreted literally so you do not need to worry with escaping special characters or quotation marks or any of that stuff. The here-string closes with a closing quotation mark ampersand: "@.
There are two rules that you must follow:
I referred to an old Hey Scripting Guy! Blog, How Can I Automatically Run a Script Any Time a File is Added to a Folder, which was written nearly eight years ago in VBScript. Guess what? The query was just the thing I needed to refresh my memory for creating my new query. Here is the VBScript query from that blog.
("SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE " _
& "Targetinstance ISA 'CIM_DirectoryContainsFile' and " _
& "TargetInstance.GroupComponent= " _
& "'Win32_Directory.Name=""c:\\\\scripts""'")
You can see where the use of a here-string vastly simplifies things by allowing me to forget about line continuation and having to escape quotation marks and other things. But also you can see how having a nice reference query, even from an eight-year old VBScript script, is also beneficial.
Note This is ONE of the major reasons I insisted on migrating all of the old Hey Scripting Guy! Blogs to the new Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog format four years ago when I became the Scripting Guy. I knew that a lot of that old code was easily adaptable to Windows PowerShell and would be useful for years to come.
The WQL query itself is not too horribly bad. It begins by selecting everything from the __InstanceCreationEvent WMI class. This class is a generic event class, and it will monitor for new instances of "stuff." It can be anything from a new entry in an event log to a new file. The problem with monitoring for a newly created file is that a file must reside somewhere—for example, inside a directory. To find a file in a directory by using WMI means that we need to use an association WMI class.
The Cim_DirectoryContainsFile WMI class associates files and directories. When working with association classes, there is always a property that relates one to the other. Here we are looking for the GroupComponent portion of the association. GroupComponent is an instance of the Win32_Directory WMI class. Because we are interested in a particular directory, we need to use the Key property for GroupComponent. Here, the key is the name of the folder. The name of the folder uses POSIX notation; therefore, it requires \\\\ (four back slashes). The query is shown here.
$query = @"
Select * from __InstanceCreationEvent within 10
where targetInstance isa 'Cim_DirectoryContainsFile'
and targetInstance.GroupComponent = 'Win32_Directory.Name="c:\\\\test"'
Now I need register the WMI event. In Windows PowerShell 2.0 and Windows PowerShell 3.0, this is really easy. I use the Register-WmiEvent cmdlet and specify the WQL query. I also need to create a value for the SourceIdentifier property so I can monitor the job. Here, I register the WMI event by using the query contained in the $query variable, and I specify a SourceIdentifier of MonitorFiles.
Register-WmiEvent -Query $query -SourceIdentifier "MonitorFiles"
Upon registering the event, I can do any number of things. The easiest thing to do is to wait for the event to occur. The Wait-Event cmdlet will wait for the event that is identified by the SourceIdentifier to trigger. After it does, I store the generated event in the $fileEvent variable as shown here.
$fileEvent = Wait-Event -SourceIdentifier "MonitorFiles"
Once again, I could do anything I want to do upon notification that an event triggers. Here, I simply display the complete path to the newly created file. I will use this information tomorrow in my follow-up to today's blog. Notice that the $fileEvent variable contains a rich object. You might want to play around with Get-Member to explore this object.
When the script runs, it waits for an event to trigger. This behavior is shown in the image that follows.
When I create a file in the c:\test folder, within 10 seconds the temporary event consumer detects the presence of the newly created file, and Wait-Event returns the event to the $fileEvent variable. The script then displays the path to the newly created file. The image that follows illustrates the Windows PowerShell ISE following the generation of the new event.
If you attempt to run the script a second time, you will more than likely receive errors. The error is because the event SourceIdentifier "MonitorFiles" already exists. The way to correct this is to unregister the event. You can do this by name, by specifying the SourceIdentifier property of the Unregister-Event cmdlet. But the easier way to do this is to use the Get-EventSubscriber cmdlet, and pipe the event subscriber to the Unregister-Event cmdlet as shown here.
Get-EventSubscriber | Unregister-Event
The unpredictable results portion of the scenario is that one WMI event already exists—the one that generated during testing. It is certainly possible to work with multiple events, but it is also easier to just clean up. The easiest way to do this is to find all of the WMI events by using the Get-Event cmdlet, and then pipe all the found WMI events to the Remove-Event cmdlet. This command is shown here.
Get-Event | Remove-Event
If you are writing a temporary WMI event consumer script, it makes sense to place the two previous commands into a function called something like Remove-WMIEventAndSubscriber. Such a function is shown here.
Function Remove-WMIEventAndSubscriber
} #end function Remove-WmiEventAndSubscriber
A function such as Remove-WMIEventAndSubscriber makes testing your script inside the Windows PowerShell ISE much easier, and it saves a lot of typing because you reset the environment each time you decide to run an additional test.
The complete TemporaryWMIEventToMonitorFolderForNewFiles.ps1 script is uploaded to the Scripting Guys Script Repository. You can download the entire script from there.
That is all there is to using a temporary WMI event to monitor a folder for the creation of a new file. Join me tomorrow for more Windows PowerShell cool stuff.
I invite you to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. If you have any questions, send email to me at email@example.com, or post your questions on the Official Scripting Guys Forum. See you tomorrow. Until then, peace.
Ed Wilson, Microsoft Scripting Guy
Why you didn't include full source code of your script in a post?
Of course, for most purposes Process Monitor is far more powerful and detailed (eg. see individual IO operations with call stacks etc.)
Is it possible to monitor more than 1 folder per event? Also is it going to monitor the top level folder only or can it do subfolders as well?
Sorry about not including the full source code in the posting. I have uploaded the script to the TechNet Script Repository and added a sentence to the end of the article that points to that code. Thank you for pointing this out to me. Sorry for the inconvience.
@Rjcox you are absolutely correct ... this is not a replacement for process monitor from Sysinternals. But, this IS in the box, and the Sysinternals tools are not, and for quick things IF you know this technique it will come in useful. In addition, this exact technique can monitor for nearly any of the thousands of WMI classes, and so from that perspective it is more flexible. In addition, this article is a building block, and later in the week (like on Friday) I will turn this query into a permenant event ... and so it will monitor all the time.
@hallstev5 no. you will need one event per folder. Using this exact query it only montors the top folder.
I know this could monitor local drive. Is it possible to monitor a ftp site?
@Rick on a Windows Server FTP is a folder, and therefore yes it would monitor a FTP site.
Hi Ed,
I've already seen this kind of FileSystemWatcher ( which is a .Net framework object that could be used to watch file events) using WMI somewhere on this blog before. Maybe I remember the old VBScript version but I'm not that sure ... I didn't find it by now :-)
Anyway ... it's great what we can do with WMI events and I'm sure that is much more to find out.
But the difficulty is "how to find out what we can do and how it could be done" ( I'm sure that there will be some documentation on MSDN or other sites ... but I hardly would ever guessed how to associate the classes and what the required classes are. This is the hardest part.
The "$fileEvent.SourceEventArgs.NewEvent.TargetInstance.PartComponent" is such a thing.
Who would ever have found out, that this is the way to get at the name of the newly created file !?
This is the voodoo part of it ... (un)Registering and waiting for the event is quite easy with PS 2.0 (or 3.0)
Way cool
@K_Schulte Yes, I like the .NET Filesystem watcher, and have written some PowerShell scripts using it. Finding this stuff? Well as you said it is documented in MSDN, and in my WMI book. A blog is also documentation? Right? But one of the great things about PowerShell is that it is self discovering, and it also makes it easy to take an idea and test it out. In the old days, when you had to horribly complicated VBScripts it did not make it possible to experiment to easily.
I'm new to powershell and am working on a script that will monitor a folder for new video files (asf). Since the videos are recorded directly to the folder I want to wait until the recording has finished before processing the action. With that in mind should I monitor for creation or change? Also there could be several videos recording at the same time and I need to monitor the folder continuously. I need some advice on how I can accommodate these scenarios as well.
Hello Scripting Guy!

Nancy Travis Was All Smiles Talking About 'Last Man Standing' on 'Good Day LA' (VIDEO)
We did laugh at one of her responses. When she was told, "You do not play that standard common-sense wife with the buffoon husband," Travis responded with, "No, I go after him and call him on his stuff." Which, of course, is the textbook definition of the common-sense wife with the buffoon husband.
Kyle Chandler Could Join FX's 'Powers,' Juju Chang Exits 'GMA' and More TV News
According to Deadline, 'Friday Night Lights' star Kyle Chandler is being courted to star in a new FX drama, 'Powers.' The show is a procedural that takes place in a world where superpowers are normal (not to be confused with TV Squad's most-anticipated fall pilot, '17th Precinct,' a procedural that takes place in a world where magic is normal), and Chandler is reportedly reading the script now.
Chandler's 'FNL' costar Connie Britton has already signed on to star in Ryan Murphy's 'American Horror Story' at the network, meaning the Taylors could soon be network costars, if not on the same show. (Hey, take what you can get. It's way more real than those recurring 'FNL' dreams ...)

Will you miss The Bill Engvall Show?
Did you watch it, and if you did, will you miss it?
Yes. It was good and we need more family sitcoms. | |
No, let's make room for another show. | |
What's a Bill Engvall? |
Sissy Spacek Joins 'Big Love' & More TV News
TBS loves Engvall
However, TBS has a throwback family comedy, one in The Cosby Show mode, and they're sticking with it. TBS's The Bill Engvall Show has just been given a third season renewal. The sitcom will be back in the summer 2009 with ten new episodes.
I've watched The Bill Engvall Show and enjoyed it. It's meant to evoke Cosby, but I also found a lot of Everybody Loves Raymond and Home Improvement in it as well, and that's a good thing. Engvall's a funny guy, and he's greatly aided in the show by sitcom vet Nancy Travis as his smart, attractive spouse.
Bill Engvall gets another season on TBS
Look, a family sitcom that's NOT on Disney or Nickelodeon which been renewed for another season! How unique!
TBS has ordered up a second season of 10 episodes of The Bill Engvall Show. The comedy, which entered the television landscape back in July, premiered with fairly strong ratings and remained the number two sitcom among adults 18-49 on ad-supported cable (fancy talk for basic cable) for the rest of its freshman season.
The Bill Engvall Show -- An early look
I don't think I would be stretching the truth too much if I said that the family sitcom is pretty much dead on network television. I mean, with the exception of According to Jim and perhaps Two and a Half Men, there has been a dearth of successful family comedies on the air since the departure of Everybody Loves Raymond and Arrested Development a few years ago.
Tim Meadows joins Bill Engvall show
Where has Tim Meadows been since leaving SNL in 2000? Well, most recently he had some guest-starring roles in The Office, Everybody Hates Chris, Help Me Help You and According to Jim.
All the Bill Engvall you need
Anna mentioned back in November that TBS was creating a pilot for Blue Collar comedian Bill Engvall, best known for his "here's your sign" routine. Now we know that the new series will be called The Bill Engvall Show (what else?) and will star Engvall and Nancy Travis. Engvall will play Will Pearson, a family counselor and father of a teenage daughter and two boys. Travis will play his wife, Susan.
Much like a majority of Engvall's comedy, the new show promises to be a simple, family-friendly comedy shot in typical multi-camera fashion in front of a studio audience. The series debuts sometime this summer.
Fans of Engvall's stand-up can also catch him March 25 at 9:00 p.m. on Comedy Central in a new special: Bill Engvall: Fifteen Degrees Off Cool.

Can't Afford Prenatal Care
Related Articles |
Baby Birthing Blues
Oh Baby! |
Can't Afford Prenatal Care
My husband and I are newlyweds who just learned that we are expecting out first baby! However, our health insurance has a high deductible ($2500) that must be met. He has a HSA account, but it has only $138 in it (new job as well). All the OBs in our area want this deductible paid within my first three doctor's visits. Therein lies the problem as we simply cannot pay the $2500 in the next few months, and I don't want to delay going to the doctor for several months while we try to save up. Any ideas?
Brigitte in Tennessee
Low-Cost Prenatal Insurance
Call your local Social Services office and ask if your state or county offers low-cost prenatal insurance. Here in California, there is a program called AIM for expectant mothers who have an income too high for Medi-Cal, and who have large deductibles with their insurance. It's regular insurance and there is still a cost, but it is much lower than standard insurance and can really help out in situations like yours.
If an option like that is not available, seek out a women's clinic to do the initial prenatal visit. The cost will be minimal. As a last resort, ask family to help or take a credit card cash advance (look out for fees and find the one with the lowest) to get your deductible covered and get you through these next few months. Now is not the time to put off care because of finances. Best wishes for your new family!
Consider a Midwife for Low Cost Prenatal Care
OK, so you've tried all the OBs in your area; now try calling a few midwives. That $2,500 deductible you would have to pay out of pocket anyway might be enough to cover the whole pregnancy, from prenatal through postpartum care. Don't think this is second-class care because it costs less. For low-risk pregnancies (which most are), midwife care and birth often produces great outcomes for both mother and baby. For more information, consult the site from the American College of Nurse-Midwives at www.mymidwife.org/.
Amy in Highland Park, NJ
Explain Situation to Office Manager
Many doctors will allow you to pay partial payments of the co-pay or deductible. Call back and ask to speak with the office manager. Explain your situation to them and be sure to add the fact that you don't want to delay proper medical care to your new baby. As a doctor's office, they should respect/honor your concern.
As a side note for savings, many doctors' offices will have free packages of prenatal vitamins. Don't be afraid to ask for extra/additional samples to keep down your costs!
Andrea from NJ
Low Cost Prenatal Care is Available
In some areas, there is a program called WIC (Women, Infant, Children). This program helps provide affordable medical care for women who are pregnant, as well as for the child once it is born. Now you do have to fall within financial guidelines to qualify, but it is worth a try.
Additionally, check in with your local Social and Health Services Department. You may qualify for medical coverage through them that would cost you $35 to $40 a month, but you'll have a deductible of only $15 per visit.
Everywhere, it is being recognized that health care costs are putting children at risk, so you may find a state agency that is willing to help you out. I know sometimes it is a matter of pride, but this is one of those times to swallow your pride and see if you qualify for some of that state help.
Teaching Hospitals Offer Low Cost Prenatal Care
Search in your area for a teaching hospital. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I went to an OB/GYN clinic staffed by residents at a teaching hospital. The total cost for all of my care and delivery was $1000. I received the best care there. The resident doctors took their time and really made sure that everything in my pregnancy was progressing as expected.
Cash Pay/Personal Pay
Plan A: Call the doctor's offices in your area. Ask to speak to someone who handles billing, and then ask what their "cash pay/personal pay" rate is and when it would have to be paid by. Ask if they can set you up on a payment plan. I have had four babies in recent years, and even though we have insurance, the cash pay rate was always much cheaper than our deductible and takes care of the entire doctor's bill for office visits and hospital delivery. You might still have to pay down the road for any extra procedures like sonograms or no-stress tests. Our deductible was also $2500, but our doctor settled our whole bill for office visits and delivery for $1200. They accepted payments in $200 dollar increments every month or two. You should be able to find someone in your area that will work with you.
Plan B: Do some research on using a midwife. If you deliver in your home, I have heard that rates can be as cheap as $1200 for midwife visits, delivery, etc.
Plan C: As a last resort, you could always contact a crisis pregnancy center to see if they may be of help, depending on your situation.
Plan D: Hospitals usually have a charity office that helps with reducing bills and/or eliminating them all together.
With enough phone work, you should be able to put together a plan for your situation. Remember that you must have specific maternity coverage on your insurance plan for it to pay for any normal maternity things. Your plan will otherwise pay for any emergencies in your pregnancy, but it will not pay for maternity in general unless it's specifically a part of your plan. In other words, paying your deductible may not be of any help if your plan does not have a specific maternity rider (which would be another reason to ask about "cash pay/personal pay"). Congratulations on your new little one!
Calculator: How much life insurance do I need?
Do Your Homework Regarding HSA
We recently discovered that my husband's HSA administrator will foot the bill ahead of time, even if we don't have the full amount in the account at the time of services. Generally, this is done in the early months of the year, but this may be something your husband's plan offers. It can't hurt to ask.

This year's successful auction featured gold rarities and many other exceptional coins.
An 1861-S double eagle rarity, featuring the reverse designed by Anthony C, Paquet, lead the prices realized in Heritage's Official Auction of the February 2009 Long Beach Coin Expo. Lot 3020, the 1861-S Paquet $20 certified by NGC as AU 58, realized $161,000. With its radically different styling, as well as the story of its meteoric withdrawal from production and release, has made this rarity among the most favored and storied coins in US numismatics. Other NGC-certified gold rarities from all denominations also starred in the auction, which contained some 6,500 lots from 280 consignors. The auction, presented by Heritage Auction Galleries, took place February 5–8 in Long Beach, California. Prices Realized have been posted by Heritage Auction Galleries on their HA.com Web site. The $13 million figure is expected to increase substantially as Post Auction Buys and the non-floor session continues."Long Beach was especially rich in gold rarities, across all series," enthused Heritage President Greg Rohan. "Exceptional coins were contributed by our anchors. The Grand Lake Collection was especially rich in gold pre-Civil War issues — especially the coins of Dahlonega and Charlotte. The four-generation Pasadena Collection started with a box of coins set aside by the owner of a general store in Pennsylvania. Part One of the Ed Lepordo Collection featured a complete type set (1793 to date), impressive Large cents and other series from two dozen NGC Registry sets. Additional selections from The Jack Lee Estate Collection were also included."Bidder usage of the HERITAGE Live!™ bidding system, allowing global bidders to directly compete in the floor bidding via the Internet, continued to rise; of the 4,500 bidders participating in Long Beach, 16 percent of those successful participated through HERITAGE Live!For more information about Heritage's auctions, and a complete record of prices realized, along with full-color, enlargeable photos of each lot, please visit www.HA.com.

scared of flowers? *EDIT IN BLUE*
Have you told him that you want him to buy you flowers? Hinting around is obviously not working out so maybe you should tell him. About a week before whatever occasion say "Hey, Valentine's Day/Anniversary/Birthday is next week. It would make me very happy if you would maybe get me some flowers" Then the day before say "Tomorrow is whatever occasion I really hope you buy me some flowers" I have to do that with my DH sometimes.
we've had the flower discussion several times over the 4 years of our relationship and it's always the same. i'll ask why he doesn't get me flowers, he says "you told me you don't like flowers." but that's not true. my exact words were "i don't like roses but i love daisies and lilies!" (and i remind him of this everytime we talk about it). somehow he heard i hate all flowers. it's always the same conversation so i don't bring it up anymore, i just constantly hope he'll think of it by himself. like i said i'm grateful for him, he's a great man i just wish he was a little more romantic.
Quoting MomToovey:
Have you ever actually told him you'd like to receive flowers sometime? Telling him what kind of flowers you like and telling him you'd like to have them are two different things. He may not know you want them.
I can guarantee when you told your husband you felt roses were cliche, his brain heard, "I don't like flowers". I did the same thing years ago but in my case I told my hubby I didn't like roses, I liked carnations, but all my hubby heard, according to him, was me saying I didn't like flowers.
Once I straightened it/him out, I got my flowers. : -)

[Nitrogen monoxide (NO)- the active principle of organic nitrates]
Feelisch, M. (1993) [Nitrogen monoxide (NO)- the active principle of organic nitrates]. Schweizerische Rundschau für Medizin Praxis , 82, (42), 1167-1171. (PMID:8248688).
Full text not available from this repository.
Although organic nitrates have been used in the treatment of patients with angina pectoris for more than 100 years, their mechanism of action was only disclosed during the last years. In the seventies it became already clear that nitrates act via the intracellular messenger cyclic 3,5'-guanosine-monophosphate (cGMP). Later on, S-nitrosothiols were suggested as possible intermediary messengers arising during metabolism of the nitrates. In parallel with the discovery of the endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) and its biochemical identification as nitric oxide (NO), it became clear that organic nitrates act via the release of NO in the vascular wall and thus by using metabolic pathways identical to those of endogenous EDRF. The target-enzyme for nitrates or for the NO released by them, respectively, thus is the soluble guanylylcyclase. The rate of enzymic stimulation induced by a given nitrate correlates closely with the rate of measured NO production from the nitrate molecule. The highest NO production was detected with nitroglycerin, followed by the group of dinitrates and mononitrates. In the vessel wall both endothelial cells as well as vascular smooth muscle cells can transform nitrates into NO. This might explain, why the antiaggregatory effect of nitrates is more pronounced in the presence of these cells or in vivo than it is in the absence of vascular cells in vitro. In spite of some differences in metabolism, nitrates are thus closely related by their end-product to the endothelium-derived relaxing factor and represent, therefore, an adequate substitution for NO missing in diseased blood vessels.

Eni chose to build its own processing plant rather than use a plant in the nearby Kuparuk field partly because of the nature of its thick, viscous oil, which is produced with quantities of sand. Nikaitchuq is expected to produce at peak rates of 28,000 barrels per day, Eni said in a press release. Forecasts by the Alaska Department of Revenue, which rely on company data, are for the field to average 10,000 barrels per day in its first year, however. The processing plant is capable of handling 40,000 barrels per day of oil and up to 120,000 barrels per day of water, an indication that Eni hopes to expand production in the area over the long term. Kenai considers increasing water, sewer rates At a recent work session, the Kenai City Council discussed water and sewer rate increases proposed by a consulting firm hired to study the city's water and sewer rates. For unmetered one- and two-family residences, the proposal suggests a monthly increase of about $6 a month for water, and between $2 and $3 dollars for sewer. Currently, unmetered residences make up about 79 percent of sewer accounts and 80 percent of water accounts. The current rates at those dwellings are $40.35 a month for sewer and $13.78 for water. Commercial rates, residential apartments and metered rates would also increase under the plan. Consulting firm CH2M Hill did the study of Kenai's water and sewer rates and concluded that within a few years, the costs to operate and maintain the city's water and sewer systems will be more than the city receives in revenue from those accounts. According to CH2M Hill's report, the water and sewer fund is only breaking even because the two are combined. The money residents pay for water doesn't cover expenses. Necessary improvements mean that sewer will not be able to carry water very much longer. CH2M Hill recommended making the rate change in fiscal year 2013, which begins in July 2012. Under the proposal rates would increase in 2013, and again each year after that. After the initial increases, rates would increase a much smaller amount in subsequent years 2 percent or 3 percent of the cost to keep pace with inflation.

Timothy Pickering (July 17, 1745 – January 29, 1829) was a politician from Massachusetts who served in a variety of roles, most notably as the third United States Secretary of State, serving in that office from 1795 to 1800 under Presidents George Washington and John Adams.
Pickering had previously served in the Massachusetts militia and Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He is often remembered for his Anglophile attitudes, and pushed for pro-British policies during his political career. Pickering famously describing the country as "The World's last hope - Britain's Fast-anchored Isle" during the Napoleonic Wars.[1] He later became involved with the Hartford Convention, and along with many other Federalists opposed the War of 1812.
Early life[edit]
Pickering was born in Salem, Massachusetts to Deacon Timothy and Mary Wingate Pickering. He was one of nine children and the younger brother of John Pickering (not to be confused with the New Hampshire judge) who would eventually serve as Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.[2] He attended grammar school in Salem and graduated from Harvard University in 1763. Salem minister William Bentley noted on Pickering: "From his youth his townsmen proclaim him assuming, turbulent, & headstrong." [3]
After graduating from Harvard, Pickering returned to Salem where he began working for John Higginson, the town clerk and Essex County register of deeds. Pickering was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1768 and, in 1774, he succeeded Higginson as register of deeds. Soon after, he was elected to represent Salem in the Massachusetts General Court and served as a justice in the Essex County Court of Common Pleas. On April 8, 1776, he married Rebecca White of Salem.[4]
In January 1766, Pickering was commissioned a lieutenant in the Essex County militia. He was promoted to captain three years later. In 1769, he published his ideas on drilling soldiers in the Essex Gazette. These were published in 1775 as "An Easy Plan for a Militia."[5] The manual was used as the Continental Army drill book until replaced by Baron von Steuben's Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States[6]
American Revolutionary War[edit]
Salem Incident[edit]
In February 1775 men under Pickering's command were involved in a bloodless confrontration with a detachment of British regulars under Alexander Leslie who had been despatched from Boston to search Salem for contraband artillery. Two months later, Pickering's troops marched to take part in the Battle of Lexington and Concord but arrived too late to play a major role. They then became part of the New England army assembling outside Boston to lay siege to the city.
Adjutant General[edit]
In December 1776, he led a well-drilled regiment of the Essex County militia to New York, where General George Washington took notice and offered Pickering the position of adjutant general of the Continental Army in 1777. In this capacity he oversaw the building of the Great chain which was forged at the Stirling Iron Works. The chain blocked the Royal Navy from proceeding up the Hudson River past West Point and protected that important fort from attack for the duration of the conflict. He was widely praised for his work in supplying the troops during the remainder of the conflict. In August 1780, the Continental Congress elected Pickering Quartermaster General.[7]
Rise to power[edit]
After the end of the American Revolution, Pickering made several failed attempts at financial success. In 1783, he embarked on a mercantile partnership with Samuel Hodgdon that failed two years later. In 1786, he moved to the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania where he assumed a series of offices at the head of Luzerne County. When he attempted to evict Connecticut settlers living in the area, Pickering was captured and held hostage for nineteen days. In 1787, he was part of the Pennsylvania convention held to consider ratification of the United States Constitution.[8]
After the first of Pickering's two successful attempts to make money speculating in Pennsylvania frontier land, President Washington appointed him commissioner to the Iroquois Indians; and Pickering represented the United States in the negotiation of the Treaty of Canandaigua with the Iroquois in 1794.
Cabinet member[edit]
Washington brought Pickering into the government as Postmaster General in 1791. He remained in Washington's cabinet and then that of John Adams for nine years, serving as postmaster general until 1795, Secretary of War for a brief time in 1795, then Secretary of State from 1795 to 1800. As Secretary of State he is most remembered for his strong Federalist Party attachments to British causes, even willingness to wage war with France in service of these causes during the Adams administration. In 1799 Pickering hired Joseph Dennie as his private secretary.[9]
Middle years[edit]
After a quarrel with President John Adams over Adams's plan to make peace with France, Pickering was dismissed from office in May 1800. In 1802, Pickering and a band of Federalists, agitated at the lack of support for Federalists, attempted to gain support for the secession of New England from the Jeffersonian United States. The irony of a Federalist moving against the national government was not lost among his dissenters. He was named to the United States Senate as a senator from Massachusetts in 1803 as a member of the Federalist Party. Pickering opposed the American seizure and annexation of Spanish West Florida in 1810, which he believed was both unconstitutional and an act of aggression against a friendly power.[10] He lost his Senate seat in 1811, and was elected to the United States House of Representatives in the 1812 election, where he remained until 1817. His congressional career is best remembered for his leadership of the New England secession movement (see Essex Junto and the Hartford Convention). He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1815.[11]
Later years and Legacy[edit]
After Pickering was denied re-election in 1816, he retired to Salem, where he lived as a farmer until his death in 1829, aged 83. In 1942, a United States Liberty ship named the SS Timothy Pickering was launched. She was lost off Sicily in 1945. Until the 1990s, Pickering's ancestral home, the circa 1651 Pickering House, was the oldest house in the United States to be owned by the same family continually.

Recommendation: Backstrom underwent minor surgery in April, but should be at full strength with the extended layoff. Still, watch his status in camp. He enters camp as the top goalie should get the bulk of starts. He's also in the final year of his contract, which could make him a candidate to be traded if the Wild flop.

WESTON, Conn. – The Weston High School varsity football team is only one of the school athletic programs involved in the Pink Aid project to raise money to fight breast cancer.
The junior varsity football, field hockey, girls soccer, and girls swimming and diving teams will also participate by wearing pink uniforms and selling baked goods.
The football team will wear pink socks during its game against Immaculate on Saturday, and the junior varsity team will also don pink socks at its game on Oct. 8 against Oxford High School. At the field hockey game on Oct. 12, the girls will also wear pink uniforms, and the girls soccer team will wear pink at its game Oct. 18. The girls swimming and diving team plans a bake sale.
Money raised by all the teams will support Pink Aid, a charity started last year in Weston and Westport to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month and raise funds to support cancer charities.
"Lots of women in the area need treatment and go through it alone with limited resources. We provide passionate care to women as they undergo treatment in Fairfield County," said Jean Lepore, the mother of two Weston High School athletes, who is helping coordinate Pink Aid's high school fundraising drive. "Everyone is overwhelmed with the support we've received from Weston High School."
Money raised from this year's drive will be used to purchase a portable mammogram machine for Norwalk Hospital.

After a few years of heavy leaning by the NFL to promote more offensive gameplay, are you guys happy with it? Do you enjoy the game more now, than what it evolved from. More offensive friendly enforcement, most notably the 5 yard illegal contact penalty.
As a kid I found offense exciting and defense boring, as I aged and started to notice the game going the other direction... I'm not happy with it. I probably love the NFL even more with my interest being exclusive NFL, I no longer watch the NHL or my local CFL team. Did anyone else find themselves evolving to prefer certain elements of football?
I would prefer again to bring in more Defensive friendly changes... What does your ideal NFL look like?

B32 rudder shaft repair
When I bought my B32 last year the survey showed a loose lower rudder shaft. I assumed it was the bushing in a cast bronze shoe. Nope. Turns out that this particular vessel doesn't have a bronze shoe, but rather a bushing placed in the fiberglass at the aft part of the keel at the bottom where one would expect it. An identical bushing is in the bottom of the rudder. The lower rudder pin is inserted from below the keel through the bushing in the keel and through the bushing in the rudder itself. The pin is retained by a bolt that runs athwart ship under the pin. The bolt head and nut on the other side are exposed by much grinding. The repair yard said that the pin crumbled some when it came out. A new bronze pin was made and installed and now the rudder has no play.
I'm wondering if this is the experience of other B32 owners. Is this the way they were made or was my boat repaired. I must say I kind of like the way it provides access for replacing the pin, and it seems strong enough. One only needs to know where to look for the retaining bolt ends when the time comes.

I second this, even better would be to reject anything that it is not recognized as a valid command. Ciao, Valerio In reply to Re: warn for !/m(e|sg) in CB?

Sizing Question
I wear vans hi-standard boots in a size 9. I need new bindings and I'm looking at burton cartels and burton triads. Theres a shop in my town that has both, but in different sizes. They have the cartels in a large, and the triads in a medium. I'm kind of leaning towards the triads right now, so my question is, if i get the medium triads this year, and get a larger boot next year, will i still fit into them next year? But if i get the cartels in a large, will my size 9 boots fit in them this year?
