Looking for a light book to read?
Do pick up Nora Ephron's essay " I feel bad about my neck". The first chapter alone is worth the few dollars spent on a used version from Amazon. Planning to pick up a few more of her books for this summer at the beach. Let me know how you like it. The chapter on skin cream could be a BT thread. ; )

GM releasing software that tattles on teen drivers
You've no doubt heard the annoying "ding" sound when you forget to buckle your seat belt. Well GM is taking things to a whole new level with its "Teen Driver" feature which is set to debut in the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Parents can program the car to give visual or audible warnings when their teens exceed preset speed limits. The system will also turn off the radio and any connected devices until the driver and any passengers are buckled up. Finally the system will provide the parents with a report card of sorts mentioning any red flags like excessive speeds and instances where the antilock brakes were engaged. We can just imagine the eye rolling and groaning already.

Beautytalk PSA: Always Be Vigilant When Trading
Just a friendly reminder to those engaging in trades on BT to obtain the best results, always keep the following in mind: 1) If you are unsure of the condition of the items you want to trade for, always ask for a photo first to avoid disappointment 2) Keep the lines of communication open. It's better to over-communicate a little, than to worry that someone has fallen off the map 3) Providing tracking #'s for your sent trade items saves everyone a lot of hassles and headaches 4) Be wary of trades that seem too good to be true 5) Don't be afraid to ask for references when trading with a new BT'er 6) Examine all trade items upon receipt and discuss any discrepancies with your trade partner promptly Trading can be a lot of fun. Just remember to be careful out there!

Any interesting weekend purchases....?
So I was checking out Chelsea Market (NYC) yesterday and I saw these awesome eco-friendly organizer pouches and I literally wanted ALL of them! They had these funny sarcastic clever sayings on them and I stood there for like a half hour reading them all. In the end I ended up getting the 2 below. One for me and the "pretty" one for my friend who's about to turn 40. I figure it'd be a nice little ego-booster for her since women tend to freak out with these milestone birthdays (ugh!). The seller Pamela Barsky has an Etsy store so you can check out all the funny pouches available! Anyone else buy something interesting over the weekend...beauty or non-beauty related?

Have to share good experience! ASOS superfast shipping from the UK (to USA)!?
Just have to share - ordered some clothes and make up from ASOS and it actually ships from the UK (it's a UK based brand), to my house in Detroit practically overnight. The order was placed in the wee hours of the this morning, 2/25, and it's set for UPS delivery tomorrow. I'm impressed! They carry some fun brands and jewelry and beauty - though some of their clothes are pretty poor quality - I love that they have plus sizes too. Anyway I'm excited about this shopping experience and wanted to share with someone.

Amazing beauty dupes you have found!
Here amazing dupes that I found: Aquaphor Lip Repair for AmorePacific Moisture Bound Lip Treatment . The Aquaphor has a very, very, very slight medicine taste, nothing unpleasant/unbearable, while the AmorePacific is unscented and has no taste. About performance, the Aquaphor is just as good as or even better than the AmorePacific. It lasts on my lips all night long, very moisturizing. $4 compared to $35. Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque for GlamGlow Supermud I wish I had found the Mint Julep Masque earlier because I've already finished 2 jars of GlamGlow. The Mint Julep Masque just gives the same effect, and less drying than the Glamglow. And again, $5 for 8oz to $69 for 1.2oz. I can't ask for more!!! Please share yours with a brief review, and price comparison!
I love sephora inspiration
Lately I've been amping my looks up for work (server, mostly in the 21 and up area). And wow people like turn around and ladies rave. It's big confidence boosters. And I can thank sephora. I wish I had a picture but I wore the fake eyelashes on sale with the silver glitter, then sephoras glitter glue, a mix of sephora eyeshadow in diamonds are forever and mufes loose silver glitter, and a red lip. Hair in a top bun and a Xmas bow. Loving it. Thank you sephora. I return the favor by telling my customers.

I know the Daily Burn has been around for a while...anyone have thoughts on this service? Are there other services that you'd recommend instead? Thanx
Two Great Customer Service Stories-Thanks Sephora and Nordies!
I just had to say that I had the two best customer service experiences of my life! One at Sephora and the other at Nordstrom's. I went to a Sephora while visiting my father in Florida and I just had the most refreshing moment with an SA. I was just lounging through the mall (my father was being grumpy with not finding what he wanted) so I found a Sephora (I'm not sure how many there are in Miami, LOL! It was near Aventura I think...) and I was just walking around. Wandering really when the nicest SA came up with me and we started chatting. We were just goofing off (something never seen by me in a Sephora on a Saturday night) and all of a sudden she was showing me stuff that she thought I might like and stuff that are her HG. She must have spent an hour and a half on me! I've never felt so wanted in a Sephora before in my life. They normally act like they want me to go away unless I'm getting a makeover. Then they want to show me everything! I didn't get her name (I think it was Marla) but she was truly the best. She almost got me to buy Kat's Interstellar but no one is that good! Then I had a kick **bleep** Nordstrom's experience! Two within 5 days! I had just come back from Florida on Tuesday and I didn't go online for the whole time I was with my father so I was behind on all my sales and things. I called Norstrom's because I was coming into the store on Saturday (eh! the Saturday before Christmas at the mall!) to pick up some stuff and I wanted to see if they were in stock. I got the greatest stylist named Michael! He sat there and looked through the Chanel section for the 500 items that I wanted (he kept asking me if there was anything else that I would like and I just kept coming up with things that I wanted from Chanel!). That's when he told me about the price match on the Lord and Taylor sale that ended that night. I was pissed because I had scheduled my 10 point day for Saturday so I told him that and he called and had my point day switched. Made me very happy. So I got my 10 point day and my 10% off! But if that wasn't enough, he gave me the 10% on the Chanel items (Chanel wasn't included in Lord and Taylor's sale)! He was about to ring me up and he asked me if there was anything else I wanted to buy and I was like "Well, i have to call back because I wanted some Dior and MAC" and he was so sweet and said that he'd grab them for me. So I gave him a list of what I wanted (it was A LOT!) and let him go on his merry hunt for my items. About a half hour later, he called me and said that he got most of my stuff (the only thing that they didn't have in store was the MAC lip pencil in Bespoken For and the holiday Dior eye shadow palette in Golden Shock). I told him that I figured that the Dior eye shadow would be MIA because they took it down off the website but he persisted and he found a store that still had both items and he took my information and said that they would send it to me via UPS. He took care of me at every turn even though I'm just some lady with too much time on my hands who was just too lazy to go to the store and shop around like most people. He put mu whole Christmas gift list together which is awesome enough but then he called me today at lunch and he wanted to know if I wanted him to gift wrap anything! How great is that??? So when I go pick up my stuff at the store tomorrow, not only do I not have to stand there and wait to pay at 500 individual make up and fragrance counters, I have my things already have my things gift wrapped and he said he threw in a million samples. He said every sample they had at the Jo Malone and Chanel counter. I really need to stop shopping but when someone goes out of their way to help you like that, it just makes me want to shop more, LOL! And the biggest shock was about an hour after I talked to him, I got my MAC and Dior order from UPS. I wasn't charged extra for the shipping. I placed my order at 8pm on Wednesday and received my order less than 2 days later! Awesome!
can we still use the 20% ?
I didn't get to participate & was just wondering. If so what's the code pose Thanks

The warming weather beckons us all outside, but don't expose yourself to premature aging and unnecessary sun damage! We all know that sunscreens provide protection from UV rays and are crucial to helping prevent sunburn and skin cancers, but how do you choose the right one for you?
If you want to keep your skin healthy and younger looking you need a solar defense strategy. Live safely under the sun this summer and protect yourself by practicing good sun sense year round.
With the new FDA rules, sunscreens can no longer be labeled 'waterproof,' 'sweatproof,' 'sunblock' or claim instant protection. Products labeled 'water resistant' are required to state how long the they should maintain their SPF level while swimming or sweating, either 40 or 80 minutes.
A: The amount of protection you need depends primarily on the level of outdoor exposure you're getting. The FDA recommends using Broad Spectrum products of at least SPF 15 for daily protection from incidental exposure. Choose a higher SPF if you're going to be outdoors for longer periods. SPF 15 filters out about 93 percent of UV radiation, SPF 30 filters out up to 97 percent and SPF 50 filters out up to 98 percent. Keep in mind that no sunscreen can provide 100% protection from UV rays.
A: SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is the rating of how much protection a product offers from sunburn (UVB rays). In accordance with new FDA regulations, sunscreen products that protect against both UVA and UVB will be labeled as 'Broad Spectrum' with at least an SPF 15. SPF values of 2 to 14 are required carry a warning that they help to prevent sunburn only.
Replace any unused sunscreens each year to assure you're getting the best protection. Sunscreen ingredients break down over time, especially when exposed to heat.
In addition to Sunscreen products, we carry a variety of moisturizers and cosmetics that feature sun protection.
Which type of sunscreen is right for you? Find out how physical SPF can be your summertime BFF.

she is my oldest. she is my DSD but she lives with me, and has since she was 3. i have been with her father since a month before she was born and he has custody. so she is mine :). i dont remember much about my growth from when i was her age. but her little nipples are bigger and they stick out. they look like she has breast buds forming. does this sound right? they arent getting bigger or anything. no dramamtic growth. they are just a little pouchy. she isnt over weight or underweight either. but they do look more mature than they did earlier. i just want to make sure she is where she is supposed to be. she is my oldest so no siblings to really compare to. she showed me, she was excited bc she wants to be a mommy someday and nurse babies :) like me. she has asked for bras. i said we should start with something less binding cause you want room to grow. i am thinking camis or or undershirts first. bc she is al ittle self conscious of how they might show through her shirt.

umm, yep. i am right there with you on the breast buds, as I think they are called. My just 8 year old is definately getting chest changes, and I do think has noticed them herself too. She is my oldest, and I know that I have to talk to her about body changes pretty soon, nothing major, just maybe getting her some cami's, but she really is a rough and tumble kind of girl, so not sure how it will go over!

my dsd's bd is 12-12-03. pretty close to your dd's bd.

:( girls are hitting puberty so much earlier. I didn't have to worry abour bras/camis until almost 6th grade! Definately get something (they make 'trainers' that are kindof shaped like sports bras ie. no clasps or separate cups) becuase if she gets cold and starts 'pointing' at school, she might get made fun of/singled out, as at that age, they probably haven't done much sex ed/body changes yet. (we didn't get that until 5 th grade!)
There are a lot of really great books in the kid area of many libraries that walk kids through the signs of puberty and serve as a good refresher for adults. 8 is within the average range for puberty and has been for a long time so I don't think this is something to be concerned about. Periods tend to start a year and a half to three years after the first signs of puberty so definitely prepare her somehow whether that is with books or by just talking to her about the normal progression of puberty. No matter how you feel about her going through puberty now, I suggest you act like you are completely happy and treat it as a very positive thing. It is a hard adjustment for parents, as many on MDC can attest to, but it is so important to be positive for the kids because they are the ones going through the actual changes and it would be awful for a child to misinterpret their parents sadness and make it something about themselves being abnormal.
a little OT, but over the last several years, I have noticed several of my kindy students with breast buds. I don't say anything, b/c I don't feel it's my place, but it is a little alarming to me that 5/6 year old girls are beginning to experience those changes.
my DSD just turned 7 in dec. i hope it goes slow for her. i told her i was happy for her. bc i am. i am also sad for her. it is such a confusing time in life. i hope to help her make it smooth. i will get a body changing book. i am hoping she doesnt start mensing till she is at least 13 but you never know when it will happen. i was thinking about her and me just going to the store together alone.
i can tell it is more than just a little weight making them pudgy. there is definitely a change in the way her nipple looks. it isnt a little baby nipple anymore. i will have to ask her if it is uncomfortable. i am mostly against bras for me too. so i dont want to get her something that will be tight but i know she will not want her friends seeing her nipples through her shirt. while it is cold i think a simple cami will do. but for the summer i think i will buy her tanks that have a shelf bra in them. so that hse has an extra layer to make her feel more comfortable. she shares a room with her 3 yo sister and wants to get dressed by herself lately.
i just cant believe it is starting already. it was just yesterday i was changing her diapers and rocking her to sleep :( but i am so excited to see the woman she will grow into :)

Seven would be considered precocious puberty and you may want to get her in to the pediatrician just to make sure they are tracking it. If it goes slowly then it is fine, according to my dd's pediatrician. If she starts to develop very rapidly then they may want to have her checked by an endocrinologist to make sure there isn't another underlying cause. I went through early puberty and my dd has also and it isn't a big deal in our case, but there are some rare things that can cause very rapid development so having a pediatrician check it out may be a good idea.
Lioness, they have close birthdays!!
I have checked out some books from the library, I think they are American Girl books, that talk about body changes, feeling, emotions etc.
The care and Keeping of you, and the Feeling book, they are called. My dd1 keeps on looking at them, but I have not had the oppourtunity to sit down and talk with her about anything.
I guess I am kind of hesitant to start the convo, incase I do say something wrong. I know that I have to do it, I just have to sit down and figure out how to start it, and what to say, and excatly how far or how much knowledge that I want to divulge. I am definately hanging around this forum trying to gain ideas, so good luck and let me know how it goes.
I had been 10 a month when I started my periods, and defiantely had breasts and pubic hair too, so i was really young, as was my mother too. I guess it runs in the family, although my sister was 14 .
Me and Dh , Dd1 Dd2,Ds1, 2, 2and lots of
I remember when I had breast buds. . . it felt like there was a little pebble under my nipple. That pebble grew and was eventually undetectable as my breasts had matured. You might ask her if she notices a "pebble". She would just feel around her nipple area.
I second the American girl books for that age.
Mom to three very active girls Anna (14), Kayla (12), Maya (8).
aaaaaah lionessmom i hear you. i think one of the least talked about subject have been pre-puberty. it hit me with a shock when i realised what prepuberty was and how little we know of it. i tried looking for it online but everyone talked about puberty.
from what i found prepuberty starts at around 5, 6 or 7. with dd it was late 5 early 6. starts with moods. change in body odor. little fuzz on legs and body and then a break and everything else happens later.
dd had her mood changes late into 5 and by 6 at the end of her extreme tantrums she started body odor. OMG the odor was so shocking from a 6 year old. i have a feeling she probably started her breast buds at 7. i didnt notice because she has 'breasts' because of her childhood chubbiness. she looks exactly how her dad looked when he was her age. he didnt lose his childhood weight till he was what 14- 16.
i noticed dd breasts at 8.
however i got my first bra at 9 or 10 when i had to wear it. not a training bra but a regular adult bra - baby size. i was so proud of them. so dd developing at this age does not concern me since i was on the younger side myself. i started my periods at 10 too i believe. and just like my mom went into premenopause at i think 42. just erratic periods but no hot flashes. my mom and i have v. similar genetic similarities. she too started her breasts and periods early at 9 - 10. kinda early premenop. and most interesting of all - we have v. v. painful cramps till our first child was born. after that like magic the cramps disappeared.
i would be freaked out if dd grew hair or started her periods now. however she knows everything and knows she is one day going to start her periods.
i would say pre puberty sounds right.
i read that age 5, 6, or 7 is the age where they (girls and boys) get a hormone jump. boys get more aggressive, girls get more moody. i saw the moody in her. it is like she is 15 sometimes. sigh. she has always been the kid who cries easy but now she has an attitude. it gets so crazy at times. i have to remid her that we dont talk to each other that way.
to a pp- i am keeping an eye on her. to make sure she isnt developing too fast. if there was a problem i would want tog et her looked at fast.

My DSD (has older half-siblings, but she has lived with SO and I for 4 years, her BM died when she was 13 mos., and I've been on the scene since she was about 18 mos.) has the same birthday of 12-12-03 but thankfully has not developed anywhere yet. I haven't had any of "the talks" with her yet either. I figure I'll wait until she starts asking. I don't know when her mom developed (my sisters and I started in middle school and didn't get periods til we were 14 and 15), but her half-sister (different mom) got her period at 9 1/2 but her mom developed early and both are overweight. I'm hoping she starts later - gives me more time to avoid it, lol.
"The single animal study of pineal function indicates that fluoride exposure results in altered melatonin production and altered timing of sexual maturity. Whether fluoride affects pineal function in humans remains to be demonstrated. The two studies of menarcheal age in humans show the possibility of earlier menarche in some individuals exposed to fluoride, but no definitive statement can be made.Recent information on the role of the pineal organ in humans suggests that any agent that affects pineal function could affect human health in a variety of ways, including effects on sexual maturation, calcium metabolism, parathyroid function, postmenopausal osteoporosis, cancer, and psychiatric disease."
SOURCE: National Research Council. (2006). Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA's Standards. National Academies Press, Washington D.C. p221-22.
"In conclusion, the human pineal gland contains the highest concentration of fluoride in the body. Fluoride is associated with depressed pineal melatonin synthesis by prepubertal gerbils and an accelerated onset of sexual maturation in the female gerbil. The results strengthen the hypothesis that the pineal has a role in the timing of the onset of puberty. Whether or not fluoride interferes with pineal function in humans requires further investigation."

Just checking back. The flouride thing really interests me. Thanks for posting that.
Well I had a small really informal chat w/ dd a couple of days ago. I guess I was worried about talking to her by not saying the right thing, as she is my 1st to go through this, and it's a learning curve ya know!!
It went well, I just told her that it's normal to have body changes, yada yada, but we did not go as far as periods. I will go slowly on that one, I think I have a couple of years before we go down that road ( I hope ) .
I did notice that she was really interested in the american Girl books that I bought home. She kept on looking at them, and we touched briefly on that, but it was lots of giggling on her end about hairy bums ( vaginas ) and boobs which kept it light hearted.
Me and Dh , Dd1 Dd2,Ds1, 2, 2and lots of
A little late in the thread, but just thought I'd giver what I know about this..precocious puberty is technically when breast buds develop before age 8, so you may want to get her in to her Ped, as One_Girl said. But thought I'd add that it takes about 2 1/2 to 3 years before the onset of menarche begins once breast buds have appeared. So just because she has breast buds does not mean she will be starting her period very soon!

Wolfpack coach taking leave to battle breast cancer
Updated: November 24, 2006, 8:22 PM ETAssociated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State women's basketball coach Kay Yow will take a leave of absence while she fights breast cancer.
Associate head coach Stephanie Glance will serve as interim coach, Yow and athletic director Lee Fowler said in a news release.
Yow, 64, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987. The cancer returned two years ago, and Yow was treated with oral hormonal therapies and radiation.
But doctors recently found that the cancer was progressing. This week, ...

Stratified solutions for systems of conservation laws
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
We study a class of weak solutions to hyperbolic systems of conservation (balance) laws in one space dimension, called stratified solutions. These solutions are bounded and ``regular'' in the direction of a linearly degenerate characteristic field of the system, but not in other directions. In particular, they are not required to have finite total variation. We prove some results of local existence and uniqueness.

Korda Praises Marton's Hungary Memoir
Both kids of Hungarian refugees (and both parts of the Manhattan media elite)
Former Simon & Schuster chief Michael Korda, born in London to a Hungarian father, heaps praise on Enemies of the People, a "genius" new book by Kati Marton, on The Daily Beast today. Marton's memoir is the story of her family's struggle to survive in Hungary from the 1940s; her maternal grandparents died in Auschwitz, and her parents, both reporters for American news agencies, were targets of the Communists. Marton didn't find out they were both Jewish until she was 30, and Korda can relate—he discovered his father was Jewish later in life. (Although for some reason he sees more of a connection to Marton, the wife of diplomat Richard Holbrooke and an ex-wife of the late ABC anchor Peter Jennings, in the fact that "we were awarded the honor of Commander of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary at the same ceremony." That or he's just bragging.)
Korda has particular empathy with Marton's portrayal of her father's coldness when she confronted him with her discovery: "How well one understands that!" he writes. It's safe to say the "one" here is Korda, who adds that "Nobody is more sentimental about Hungary than a Hungarian who has left it behind," and recalls "that strange patriotism assimilated Hungarian Jews have always felt for the country, the language, the culture they loved, and their inability to separate themselves from it." Just don't tell it to Hungarian Parliament member Oszkar Molnar, who recently said that "Jewish capital … wants to devour the entire world, especially Hungary."

Isaac could shake up security for GOP convention
Convention officials said they were working closely with state and federal authorities on monitoring the storm.
"We continue to move forward with our planning and look forward to a successful convention," convention CEO William Harris said in a statement.
Jeff Masters, director of meteorology for Weather Underground, said the storm's current forecast indicates Tampa is unlikely to take a direct hit from a potential hurricane. When the storm passes the Bay area, it's likely to have an east-west motion, meaning it could sideswipe Tampa, causing rain and flooding, but not directly strike the city.
Chief Castor said she wasn't worried about redeployment of officers; when she initially asked other agencies to help, she told them they should only send people that they could spare.
She said the security team factored in the possibility of another event, such as a storm, happening during the RNC.
"We'll adjust our plans," she said. "We're used to that in law enforcement."
Steven Ibison, the special agent in charge of the Tampa division of the FBI, said he wasn't concerned about the number of officers on the ground.
"The FBI isn't involved in weathercasting," he said. "But we have plans in place. We always do here in Tampa."
Castor and Gee stressed it was too early for any agency to dramatically change plans. Castor said that no one would really know where Isaac was headed until late this weekend.
"The only predictable element about a tropical storm or hurricane is its unpredictability," she said.

Set juicy colours against a neutral backdrop for a room that can change with trends.
Q. We would like to redecorate our 13-year-old daughter's bedroom. The room is small with a cathedral ceiling. I would like some colour options and advice on whether we should we paint the ceiling as the room is very small. What are the current trends for teenagers? She likes stars.
A. The trend for teenagers right now involves plenty of colour. Bright, bold colours are found everywhere, from colourful, sparkly bracelets and embroidered T-shirts to bright purple or orange school notebooks and journals.
While painting your daughter's entire bedroom orange may be a little dramatic, think about a more neutral palette that will be a good base for the bold bursts of colour you can add with bedding, pillows and lamps.
Painting the cathedral ceiling the same colour as the walls is a good idea. A different colour used on the ceiling may visually break up the space, making the actual wall height seem low. If your daughter likes stars, look for a star-shaped mirror, picture frames and lampshades with star cutouts.
Should you decide to go with vibrant coloured accents in this bedroom, choose a neutral, pale yellow for the walls and ceiling like Benjamin Moore's Hawthorne Yellow (HC-4). Bright coloured linens, storage boxes and accessories will really pop out from the pale yellow.
As your daughter gets older and her tastes change, the pale yellow, if you decide to keep it, will still be a great backdrop for new accents and ever-changing trends.

I've seen that the mast slips over a foot, so maybe that is what you mean is just that it is "secured" meaning that it is fitted down over the foot that sticks up. I understand the purpose here is to make sure the bottom of the mast can't slide on the deck and I guess the rigging just holds it hard against the deck so it can't jump up off of the foot. Maybe you mean more than that, I'm not sure.

Here is where I have more questions.
When you say "connected", how are they connected ? I guess the turnbuckle is connected to the cable somehow and then it is used to do the adjustment for tuning later in the process, but I don't understand this part of it at all. This is where the most fuzziness is in my mind, the part of the process I really don't understand at all.
Originally Posted by
Once connected, the rig will be tightened until it is fairly taut—checking to make sure the mast is in proper alignment and centered. Final tensioning the rig depends a lot on what type of rig it is and how many shrouds/stays there are. In many cases, the crane is left connected until the rough tensioning job is done as a safety precaution, to prevent the mast from tipping over and causing any damage or injury.
I've edited out a lot of what you said and kind of focused in on the parts I am more curious about. I want to thank you for taking the time to write such a good description of the process, that is exactly the kind of information I can use.

2. All the pins, turnbuckles and tools.
3. A crane to raise it; leave gin-pole etc to the future.
4. A loop with a long tail to reach the deck, under the spreaders.
5. Raise it carefully, ensuring all stays/shrouds are not tangled and vertical.
6. Attach uppers, then forestay, backstay and lowers.
7. Check for column, rake etc. Tighten, use Loos gauge if available
8. Put boom on, put all running rigging on. Check all halyards are true.
9. Bend the sails and let all sheets run. CHECK everything again.
10. Check everything again etc.
Step (4), "loop with a long tail to reach the deck", I don't understand that part. Is that to secure the bottom of the mast as it's raised so that you can guide it into place, or something else ?
Step (7), "Check for column, rake etc.", I am guessing you have to do this on land, or can it be done on the water ? And I am also guessing you are talking about using a level to check to make sure that it is vertical and lined up right, with like a piece of wood cut to whatever angle you want as a guide so that you can use a level.
Step (7), "use Loos gauge", I guess that is something that checks tension. Edit - Okay I just went and did a google search and I see how this Loos gauge works, you just kind of clip it over the cable and the tension moves what looks like a spring loaded piece to get the measurement.
Thanks for all this help!
I am going to get my rigging book out and see if I can figure out anything more, you guys have given me a good starting point. It would help if I knew more about rigging. At the moment it is all kind of mysterious, and I don't know anything about using the gauges to measure the tension, or even what the tension should be. Not knowing that means that the rigging is the subject of a lot of superstition on my part, and I am afraid to mess with it. But I want to know about it, I mean, I want to be able to do things with it myself and have that be a practical skill that I can actually use. I want to be able to do something like change out a bad component and be able to direct stepping and unstepping the mast, or even be able to do it. I don't want to have to depend on someone else to do those things because then I won't have any control on my own boat.
What are you pretending not to know ?

AP News in Brief
Tube siphons some oil gushing into Gulf; new worry that spill oozing into major sea current
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Engineers finally figured out how to siphon some of the oil that has been spewing into the Gulf for almost a month, but it could be too late to stop the ooze from reaching a major ocean current that could carry it through the Florida Keys and up the East Coast.
After weeks of failed solutions, BP PLC crews on Sunday hooked up a mile-long tube to funnel the crude from a blown well into a tanker ship. However, millions of gallons of crude are already in the Gulf of Mexico.
A researcher told The Associated Press that computer models show the oil may have already seeped into a powerful water stream known as the loop current, which could propel it into the Atlantic Ocean. A boat is being sent later this week to collect samples and learn more.
"This can't be passed off as 'it's not going to be a problem,'" said William Hogarth, dean of the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science. "This is a very sensitive area. We are concerned with what happens in the Florida Keys."
BP PLC engineers remotely guiding robot submersibles had worked since Friday to place the tube into a 21-inch pipe nearly a mile below the sea. After several setbacks, it was working, though officials warned that it was too early to measure how much crude was being collected and acknowledged it was no panacea.
Rogue Thai general reputed to be Red Shirt military strategist dies; Bangkok chaos continues
BANGKOK (AP) - A rogue Thai general who helped anti-government protesters and was shot by an unidentified sniper died Monday from his wounds, raising fears of new violence after five days of street battles that have killed 37 people in downtown Bangkok.
A luxury hotel was the scene of a heated predawn gunbattle Monday and later closed its doors, while soldiers patrolled well-known tourist enclaves and the government set another deadline for protesters to vacate their barricaded street camps.
The political conflict is Thailand's deadliest and most prolonged in decades, and each passing day of violence deepens divides in this nation of 65 million - a key U.S. ally and Southeast Asia's second-largest economy. Thailand has long been considered a democratic oasis in Southeast Asia, and the unrest has shaken faith in its ability to restore and maintain stability.
Tensions were expected to rise further with the news that Maj. Gen. Khattiya Sawasdiphol, a renegade army officer accused of creating a paramilitary force for the Red Shirt protesters, died Monday, the Vajira Hospital reported. His death came five days after he was shot in the head in downtown Bangkok while talking to journalists inside the perimeter of the protest zone.
The attack on Khattiya, more popularly known as Seh Daeng, triggered widespread street fighting between anti-government protesters and the army in central Bangkok.
London's Heathrow, Gatwick reopen with restrictions; Amsterdam, Dublin closed due to ash
LONDON (AP) - London's two major international airports - Heathrow and Gatwick - reopened to some flights Monday after a no-fly zone was imposed due to dense volcanic ash drifting down from Iceland. Airports in Amsterdam, Scotland and Ireland were still closed.
Yet in a hopeful note, charts published by Europe's air traffic control agency said the ash cloud should be gradually breaking up and retreating during the day.
Eurocontrol said 28,000 flights were expected Monday in Europe, about 1,000 less than normal, mainly due to disruptions in the airspace over Britain and the Netherlands.
Heathrow and Gatwick were operating with noticable restrictions. Gatwick said it could not accept any arrivals until early afternoon, but about 100 flights were expected to depart. Authorities at Heathrow warned passengers to expect delays and cancellations, and said they would reduce arrivals from 44 an hour to about 30.
Airports in Northern Ireland, much of Scotland - including Edinburgh and Aberdeen - and parts of Wales were still under a no-fly order as winds pushed the ash plume into Europe's busy airspace.
NATO unveils draft of new mission statement focused on Afghanistan, Russia, other missions
BRUSSELS (AP) - NATO must win the war in Afghanistan, expand ties with Russia, counter the threat posed by Iran's missiles, and assure the security of its 28 members, according to its new mission statement for the next decade.
The draft document, released Monday, seeks to bridge a growing rift between the U.S., which favors a greater international role for NATO, and European nations that want it to retain its traditional defensive focus.
"NATO must be versatile and efficient enough to operate far from home," said former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, head of the team of experts who wrote the document. "In order to sustain the political will for operations outside its area, NATO must see that all its members are reassured about the security of their home territories."
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen will use the draft as a basis for a new strategic concept that will be submitted for approval at the alliance's next summit in Lisbon, Portugal, in November.
Founded in 1948 to counter the threat of a Soviet invasion, the 28-member alliance is in the midst of a mid-life crisis as it searches for relevance almost 20 years after the collapse of its communist rival.
Afghan official: Passenger plane crashes near Salang Pass north of Kabul
KABUL Afghanistan (AP) - A plane carrying at least 40 passengers on a domestic flight crashed Monday near the Salang Pass north of the Afghan capital, the police chief of the Kabul International Airport said. There was no immediate word on casualties.
Rescuers were on their way to the crash site near the 12,700-foot (3,800-meter) -high Salang Pass, a major route through the Hindu Kush mountains that connects the capital to the north.
Airport Police Chief Mohammad Asif Jabar Khil said the plane went down about 60 miles (100 kilometers) from Kabul.
Police chief Abdul Razaq Yabyaqoubi of northern Kunduz province said the plane left there at 8:30 a.m. Monday, but never arrived in the capital.
Neither official could immediately say who operated the flight.
Col. Wayne Shanks, a spokesman for U.S. and NATO forces, said the international force has sent aircraft to help in the search.
Iran agrees to ship enriched uranium to Turkey in nuclear fuel swap that could ease standoff
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran agreed Monday to ship most of its enriched uranium to Turkey in a nuclear fuel swap deal that could ease the international standoff over the country's disputed nuclear program, just as pressure mounts for tougher sanctions.
The deal was reached in talks with Brazil and Turkey, elevating a new group of mediators for the first time in the dispute over Iran's nuclear activities. There was no immediate comment from the United States and the other world powers that have led earlier negotiations as to whether the new deal would satisfy them and stave off a fourth round of U.N. sanctions.
Washington and allies have been pressing Iran for more than six months to accept a U.N.-drafted plan to send their low-enriched uranium stockpiles out of the country in exchange for reactor-ready fuel rods. Backers of the plan want to keep Iran from expanding its own enrichment capabilities, which some fear could serve as the backbone for a nuclear weapons program.
"It was agreed during the trilateral meeting of Iranian, Turkish and Brazilian leaders that Turkey will be the venue for swapping" Iran's stocks of enriched uranium for fuel rods, Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on state TV Monday.
Iran has previously issued positive signals about possible nuclear deals only to back off later in apparent diplomatic stalling tactics.
3 mothers arrive in NY on 1st leg of trip to be reunited with US hikers held in Iran
NEW YORK (AP) - The mothers of three American hikers held for 10 months in Iran know that their visit with their children may be brief so they've thought about what they want to say and do.
Cindy Hickey wants to make sure her son and the two friends imprisoned with him see that there's a future in which they're free - a light at the end of the tunnel.
"We want to see our kids and let them know: We're going to do everything we possibly can. ... This will be done," Hickey said Sunday after arriving in New York. The trio expect to fly to Iran within days.
Hickey's son, 27-year-old Shane Bauer, his girlfriend, Sarah Shourd, and their friend Josh Fattal were arrested along the Iraqi border last July and accused by Iran of spying. Relatives say the three were on vacation in the scenic Kurdistan region of northern Iraq and, if they crossed the border, it was by accident.
Now that she and the other mothers have been granted visas to Iran and believe they'll be able to visit their children, Laura Fattal is intent on using whatever time she gets with her son to listen.
Dramatic 10-fold surge seen in kids hospitalized with MRSA; docs shift antibiotics to fight it
CHICAGO (AP) - The number of children hospitalized with dangerous drug-resistant staph infections surged 10-fold in recent years, a study found.
Disease incidence increased from 2 cases to 21 cases per 1,000 hospital admissions from 1999 to 2008. Most infections were caught in the community, not in the hospital.
The study involved methicillin-resistant staph infections, called MRSA. These used to occur mostly in hospitals and nursing homes but they are increasingly showing up in other settings in children and adults. Recent evidence suggests hospital-acquired MRSA cases may be declining while community-acquired cases are becoming more common.
The results are "a good example of how something that is not unexpected remains alarming," said Dr. Buddy Creech, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University. He was not involved in the study.
The study involved 25 children's hospitals; the 10-fold increase in hospitalizations likely occurred nationwide, said Dr. Jason Newland, the lead author and an infectious disease physician at Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Arab-American from Michigan crowned Miss USA after near-stumble in gown competition
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Lebanese immigrant Rima Fakih says it was a certain look from Donald Trump that tipped her off that she had won the 2010 Miss USA title.
The 24-year-old Miss Michigan beat out 50 other women to take the title Sunday night, despite nearly stumbling in her evening gown.
She told reporters later that she believed she had won after glancing at pageant owner Trump as she awaited the results with the first runner-up, Miss Oklahoma USA Morgan Elizabeth Woolard.
"That's the same look that he gives them when he says, 'You're hired,'" on Trump's reality show "The Apprentice," she said.
"She's a great girl," said Trump, who owns the pageant with NBC in a joint venture.
No Magic Trick: Boston smothers Orlando 92-88, takes 1-0 lead in East finals
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The hair is a little grayer. The ankles and knees no longer so sturdy. Even with a roster full of aging superstars, the Boston Celtics are still standing tall.
Too old to chase a title? Not these days.
Ray Allen scored 25 points, Paul Pierce had 22 and the Celtics used smothering defense to beat the Orlando Magic 92-88 on Sunday in the Eastern Conference finals opener.
Hampered by injuries, the Celtics literally limped their way through parts of the regular season. All that seems a distant memory now.
"I honestly say we lost ourselves," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "I think we've found ourselves again."

As far as teen comedies informed by 10th-grade English syllabi go, Easy A, partly inspired by The Scarlet Letter, is remedial ed compared with Clueless and 10 Things I Hate About You. To boost her popularity and to sex up her guy pals—and strangers'—reputations, brainy Ojai, California, high-schooler Olive (Emma Stone, confirming the talent shown in supporting roles in Superbad and The House Bunny) convinces her classmates that she spreads her legs often. But the film gives her no real adversaries to battle, except the consequences of her own mythomania—meaning Easy A can't make much of a point about sexual double standards. Seventeenth-century Boston Puritans find their analogue in the teenage Jesus lovers/virginity pledgers of the Cross Your Heart Club, presided over by Amanda Bynes, but these are foes who no one takes seriously; Olive's parents (Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson) are endlessly supportive. What this self-anointed Hester Prynne in Juicy Couture must battle the most is the script, written by first-timer Bert V. Royal. Filled with the occasional tart one-liner, Easy A tacks on a sound message about a teenage girl's right to do with her body as she wishes; the 88 preceding minutes aren't much more relevant than, as one character snarks, "a gossip girl in a sweet valley of traveling pants."

NEWBERRY — Robert Bartolomucci of Hilton Head broke a nine-year streak by winning the qualifying medalist award and then winning six matches to be named champion of the 37th SC Junior Match Play Championship at Country Club of Newberry.
Bartolomucci, a rising high school junior, defeated Nick Willis of Cowpens, in the semifinal match on July 11. In the other semifinal match, Ryan Marter of Columbia beat Jake Smith of Duncan, setting up the final match against Bartolomucci.
In the final match, both players got off to a smooth start and Bartolomucci took a one up lead after winning the seventh hole with a par. Marter won Hole 10 and Hole 13 to take a one up lead, but Bartolomucci responded by winning the next three holes with birdies, taking a two stroke lead heading into Hole 17.
Marter did not go easily winning 17 and cutting the lead to one up heading into the last hole. After each player made par, Bartolomucci won the match one up.
"I played really well this week, especially on Tuesday in the qualifier," said Bartolomucci. "I can't remember when I have played this much golf."
The week began with one round of qualifying and then six rounds of match play within a four-day period.
For the girl's championship, Morgan Cox of Easley defeated older sister Maddisen in their semifinal match. Savanah Goodman of Easley advanced to the final match against Cox with a win over Carly Lyvers of Greenville.
In the finals, Cox and Goodman traded holes before Cox took the lead after five holes and the pair halved the next four holes giving Cox the lead after the first nine.
On the back side, Cox birdied the par four Hole 11 to take the lead. The next two holes were halved and then Cox won Hole 14 and Hole 15 to take the title and become the SC Junior Girls' Match Play Champion.
"I have to thank my sister Maddie for caddying for me after our match. I was really tired but she really made the difference in the last match," said Morgan.
The winners will play in junior team matches. The girls play July 26 and July 27 in Laurel Fork, Va., while the boys matches will be Aug. 16 and Aug. 17 in Wallace, N.C.
The S.C. Junior Golf Championship is conducted by the Carolinas Golf Association. Golf Pro Brian Summer of Country Club of Newberry said the tournament, although held at their facility, was funded and supported by the association. Participating golfers had to have been in a club associated with the Carolinas Golf Association to participate.
Summer said of the 144 open slots for golfers, they had 124 to sign up. The qualifier on July 8 limited the number to 64 participants. The tournament was split into girls and boys championships.
Jason Cox, director of Junior Golf for the Carolinas Golf Association, said the association began in 1901 and now supports 150,000 golfers in North and South Carolina.
Summer said the Country Club of Newberry was contacted about a year ago about hosting tournaments through the Carolinas Golf Association.
Cox said the Country Club of Newberry was chosen primarily for its location. The Upstate and Columbia have the largest number of golfers in the state, which is why they wanted to stay in this area of the state.
"Their (CCN) reputation, of course, made it a great fit for us," Cox said.
Golfers came from Bluffton, Hilton Head, Spartanburg, Greenville, Rock Hill and other areas to participate in the junior matches. Golfers ranged from ages 8 to 18.
Jake Montgomery and Will Eckstein of Newberry, members of the Country Club of Newberry, were also participants.
"My dad got me started when I was 6 1/2," Eckstein said about golf. Eckstein is now 16.
Summer said CPR certified staff members were on standby throughout the week. During the qualifier on July 8, Summer said they went through 24 cases of Gatorade and water to keep players hydrated.
The tournament also was a good opportunity for the golfers to grab the attention of college scouts. Cox said he noticed representatives from the University of South Carolina, Wofford College and Furman University, although he said more might have been in attendance throughout the week.

Customer Reviews
Lacking that certain something
I was an early adopter of the game and I've checked up on it several times through its post-release development. The game obviously looks good and benefits from a good composer, but it is an unabashed Zelda clone that tries too hard to mimic the success of classic adventure games, but without an engaging hook that kept me entertained and willing to push on. In many ways Oceanhorn is a prime example of what a premium iOS game should be: good looking, small (file size), MFi controller support, and iCloud saving. However the gameplay does not hold up. Clunky controls (both touch and controller) make combat and navigation cumbersome. While the lack of a meaningful map or objective indicators could be construed as a throwback to classic adventure games, this is 2015 and we're playing on the most mobile multimedia device ever created. The game should make more concessions to be applicable to very short gaming sessions. The list of problems goes on, and I'll cap them with an incredibly frustrating and unsatisfying boss encounter against a tentacled plant monster thing. This boss drove me from the game several times, and each time that I reinstall the game and try again (sometimes months in between ), the same boss fight stymies me with incredible frustration. Finally with the help of a new MFi Bluetooth controller, i defeated the boss and immediately deleted the game afterwords. For good, this time.
I was unsure when I bought this game at first because of some negative reviews. Whatever problems they had, must be solved now, cause none of them have happened to me. Like the orientation lock thing, works just fine in both ways. And the other problem I read about with the not being able to move crates: Well, I can see how somebody could get confused with this. See, you can move crates just fine, but some are un-moveable, but are completely unnecessary to move. (Like they're just in the middle of nowhere or out in the open) and you cannot pull crates. That is something people might have been confused with. But there is always a reset button next to all the crates. So you can restart with the crates back in their normal position. So overall, great game so far! ( I actually have not finished it yet) And I have not had any problems that others seem to have had. 😕 So it could have been a simple misunderstanding or confusion. Btw great job developers on such a small file size for such a large game!!! 😄😄
Shining example of what a mobile game can be
i just completed playing through Oceanhorn, and it's the most satisfying and memorable mobile game I've played to date. A lot of great work went into the graphics, level design and overall feel and it adds up to a sort of mini or "lite" version of a full-on console game.
There are definitely some flaws (the last level / final battle are disappointing, it's way to easy to get trapped in parts of the environment, etc.) but they are all quite forgivable when measured against how much quality you get from the game overall.
I'm a huge Zelda fan, and I really appreciate what has been borrowed from those games. This is probably the best Zelda-like game I've played on any platform, outside of the actual Zelda franchise games themselves. In the end, I very much enjoyed the 18 hours I spent in the world of Oceanhorn, and I'm excited by what this developer has accomplished on the platform. Thank you for the fantastic experience and I hope see see more like this in the future!!

The Storage Team Blog about file services and storage features in Windows and Windows Server.
We've seen a lot of questions about restoring Complete PC Restore images to different hardware. Here are some answers to the common questions.
Q. Can you restore a Complete PC Backup image to a smaller drive if the amount of space used in the initial backup is smaller than the smaller disk?
A. The backup can be restored only if:
Here are some examples to illustrate this:
Working examples
During backup During restore --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1x100GB drive 1x100GB drive1x100GB drive 1x200GB drive1x100GB drive 1x200GB drive, 1x80GB drive1x100GB drive, 1x200GB drive 1x100GB drive, 1x200GB drive1x100GB drive, 1x200GB drive 2x200GB drive
Non-working examples
During backup During restore--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1x100GB drive 0 drives*1x100GB drive 1x80GB drive1x100GB drive 1x80GB drive, 1x40GB drive1x100GB drive, 1x200GB drive 1x500GB drive1x100GB drive, 1x200GB drive 1x100GB drive, 1x160GB drive1x100GB drive, 1x200GB drive 1x500GB drive, 1x80GB drive*possibly due to no drivers loaded in Windows Recovery Environment (RE)
Q. Are they any limitations on restoring from PATA to SATA drives, or other physical drive requirements?A. No, there are no limitations with regard to the interface as long as the drivers are there.
Q. Why doesn't Windows Recovery Environment (RE) recognize the external USB hard drives that were present during the backup?A. If Windows RE does not have the driver for the hard drive, then the drive won't be recognized. To load the driver, you can use Drvload.exe, located in X:\windows\system32 in Windows RE. Drvload.exe needs to be run on the .inf file of the driver. (You can find more information about Drvload.exe here.) In Windows Vista SP1, we are adding the option to load drivers from Complete PC Restore to simplify this procedure.
Q. Can you restore a 32-bit backup to a 64-bit system and vice versa?A. Restoring a 32-bit backup to a 64-bit system would cause your computer run the OS as 32-bit, of course. An attempt to restore a 64-bit backup to a 32-bit machine will fail, as would be expected.
Q. How do I know that my Complete PC Backup image is burned correctly to CD or DVD?A. To guarantee your backup media was burned properly, Complete PC Backup always verifies the data written to the media. If Complete PC Backup doesn't ask you to insert media with the same number, the disc is readable on that machine and that drive.
You didn't answer this question in your defragmenter FAQ:
the GUI doesn't let the user select which drive to defrag right? So, which drives DOES it defrag? How does it calculate which one to defrag? Or does it only defragment the system volume?
All drives are defragmented, not just the system volume. You can use the command-line tool defrag.exe if you want to manually defragment a specific drive.
The fact that you can't restore a Complete PC backup to a smaller drive (or smaller partition on the same, presumably) is disappointing.
For example, my system drive is 250Gb (a single C:\ partition), with about 200Gb free. I want to shrink the C:\ partition down to about 80Gb, and then allocate the remaining free space to a new partition (it's a Media Center box, so the new partition will be for storing recorded TV).
I've tried using the "Shrink Volume" feature in Disk Management, but unfortunately this only lets me shrink about 20Gb off the existing partition. I understand that this limitation can be because of shadow copies, restore points, Complete PC backups, page files or hibernation files that could be residing on the disk near the end of the partition (these files are unmovable, so the system can't shrink past these). However, after turning off System Protection & hibernation, setting my paging file to 0Mb, and running Disk Cleanup to remove any old hibernation files or shadow copies; it makes no difference.....I can't get more that 20Gb back from the existing partition.
vssadmin confirms that there are no shadow copies left on the volume, so I can only assume that it's the MFT sitting out there near the end of the disk, preventing a useful shrink from occuring.
(To further complicate things, now that Vista's defrag no longer has a visual UI; I can't easily check if there are any unmovable or system files sitting out there in "no-mans land"......something that would have been relatively easy to do in XP).
So, if I can't use Vista's built in "Shrink Volume" feature, and 3rd party utilities like Partition Magic either don't yet support Vista or are too expensive to consider for a simple, one-time restructure; my next choice was to use Complete PC to backup the drive. The hope was that I could then format / repartition the drive as required, and restore the image to the new (smaller) partition. But it seems like this is not possible either.
I can appreciate that the whole point of image based backups is to get a bit-for-bit, sector-for-sector clone of the original drive (which then precludes restoring the image to a smaller drive); but by the same token other imaging utilities such as Ghost do offer this. OK, so this might mean that a Ghost image technically isn't an exact replica of the original volume (since the sector that a piece of data is restored isn't necessarily the same sector that it was backed up from); but in this situation, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Are there any plans to improve the Shrink Volume feature to make it more useful? I read on another blog about someone that wanted to shrink the first partition on their drive, and then allocate the freed space to the second partition....but they couldn't because the Extend Volume feature will only allow you to add contiguous space that is at the end of the volume to be expanded, not at the start (and it can't 'move' a partition). Without some of these features, the partition management tools in Vista are of limited use.
Regarding disk sizes and Complete PC restore, you must also remember that all disks are not alike. Two 80Gb drives from different manufacturers may format to different sizes. If the new one formats slightly smaller, you won't be able to restore from the old one.
