The Owner purchased this condo in 1985
We have been vacationing in West Maui since 1976 and absolutely love it.
What a glorious vacation! We have visited Maui a number of times and this is by far our favorite spot. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful place with us. From the first day here we have been planning when we can bring our husbands. The ocean view is like no other. We adore the warm quiet pool and everything is within a few short steps. This is a gorgeous hidden treasure.
Brilynn (daughter) and Marilyn (mother)
This property was amazing! Perfect, quiet location with water, beach and grass right in front. We loved watching the whales from the lanai. Everything was clean and exactly as explained. Would love to go there again!
We enjoyed the oceanfront location of this unit and what felt like a small, quiet condo community. We especially liked snorkeling out front on days when the water conditions permitted. We chose this place because of turtles and it did not disappoint! There are lots of turtles!!! The unit needed some repairs and updates, which the owner said would be done soon. We also missed having an air conditioner. The weather was apparently a little hotter than usual and fans weren't quite enough. Fortunately, we slept cool as there is a small window A/C in the bedroom. Also, there was a mix up on which unit we rented, so be sure the owner clearly understands which unit you want.
This rental was absolutely ideal for a romantic get away for my finance and I.
The location is superb, beautiful views and sunsets. Only steps away from a small private beach and a lava rock formation outcrop that boasts better snorkeling than we paid for on the boat trips. Every evening there were upto 5 huge green turtles(i've only seen bigger/old in Belize) that would feed for hours around the rocks, perfect for grabbing your snorkel gear or camera(use a polarizing filter for best results), the view point is literally 10-15 ft from the feeding points.
The condo was comfortable and quite, the other residents and staff were very friendly. There are 4 grills nearby that are great for those who like to dine in, you can mingle and socialize with the other guests around the grill in the evening.
The pool is very refreshing on those hot days when you need a break from the sand.
The snorkel gear at the condo was far better quality than the rentals equipment.
We had a great time and will be sure to return on our next Island adventure.
Maui my favorite place on earth. Staying here was the
ultimate vacation. We love
the whales and sea turtles.
Barb & Mel
Perfect, perfect, perfect. Location is top notch, watching whales jump from the lanai, turtles playing directly in front, while one turtle spent a day on the close sand beach. BBQ very handy, and as Kathy recommends, we ate dinner on the lanai in the fresh air, watching the sunset. All the neighbors, while friendly, were somewhat envious of us and came right out and asked for the VRBO number so they can get this unit in the future. This unit is sooo much better than anywhere else we have stayed on Maui. Going to reserve for a longer stay next time, one week went by so quickly. Very convenient to a variety of beaches, shopping, restaurants (Roy's just a mile or so away). Highly recommended with no reserves. We will be back (unless too many discover this place and fill it up!).
Stayed at the Kuleana for 2 wks in August,2013. We have stayed at this resort at least 8 times and this unit was the BEST BY FAR! The location is excellent, direct oceanfront and closeness to the grill made for a very relaxing and enjoyable trip. The condo was very comfy and well equipped, clean and maintained well. Communication with owners was easy which made the VRBO experience a good one. Thanks Kathy for the use of your lovely little piece of paradise on Maui. We hope to stay here again.
The Kuleana Resort is in the lovely town of Honokawai which is located 5 miles north of the old whaler village of Lahaina. The resort is between the Kaanapali beach and golf course area and the Kapalua golf course area. It is directly west of the West Kapalua Airport.

octal - I have tried everything! Anything I put on the htc calendar appaers on my google calendar. I can even delete events on my htc that have been put on the google calendar. But if I make a calendar entry on my htc calendar it will not appear on my google calendar despite repeated refreshing! I just wonder of this is a glitch with the latest update I gad from htc a couple of days ago. All worked OK prior to that.

That's OK, I understood what you were saying.
It is a strange one, I've just been experimenting with mine and I can indeed put things in my HTC calender and it appears on Google calender, it all seems to work as it should.
I wonder what the latest update was? Was it an update for the Android core? I haven't had one of those for months, only the odd application like Google Maps and Flash Player recently.
I assume you have tried rebooting the HTC after the update? Silly question I know, but it is only a computer after all.

Hi Octal - Yes I did reboot and have done so several times. The uopdate was a software firmware - 3.12.405.1 and wsa fairly major as it took a while. The calendar look has changed slightly (for the worse!) but I am getting to the end of my tether over over trying to sort this syncing problem. It is obvioulsy nearly working as I can delete events on the phone that become deleted on the PC calendar but just cannot get a posted event on the phone showing on the PC.

I was going to have a look at the software information on my phone to see if it is the same version as yours, but there is a lot of information in there, so I don't know what I'm looking for. I was thinking if I have the same as you then both phones should work the same. If you go into your apps and go to About phone>Software information, that will give all the information about the phone's installed software versions including the Kernel version, if you want to list them so we can compare notes, what do you think?
I must admit, I'm a bit of a novice with these phones, but I suppose at the end of the day they are just a miniature computer.

"Personalization has a price. Throughout the PlayStation Meeting 2013, Sony's representatives keyed in on "personalization" as one of the main facets behind the development of the PlayStation 4. It seems like a benign, a thoroughly positive concept—that a company considers the preferences of its users and then tailors the user interface in the form of relevant searches and recommendations. The system learns your behavior, your likes and dislikes, and offers advertisements and products that fall within your general comfort zone."

Scientists Teasing Hydrogen Fuel from Water
Blacksburg, Va. — Chemists are several steps closer to teasing hydrogen fuel from water using man-made molecular devices that collect electrons and use them to split hydrogen from oxygen.
Virginia Tech graduate students in chemistry will present two posters at the 230th national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Washington, D.C., Aug. 28 through Sept. 1, 2005, describing photochemical processes.
Electrons are negatively charged particles that allow atoms to react and form bonds. Karen Brewer, professor of chemistry, announced at last August's ACS meeting that her group was able to use light to initiate electron collection and deliver the electrons to the catalyst site where they can be used to reduce water to hydrogen. "Light energy is converted to chemical energy," Brewer said.
In the past year, the group has come up with additional molecular assemblies that absorb light more efficiently and activate conversion more efficiently. "We have come up with other systems to convert light energy to hydrogen. So we have a better understanding of what parts and properties are key to having a molecular system work," Brewer said.
The researchers are working with the Air Force Research Laboratory, which is modeling what happens in the molecular systems after light is absorbed. "The AFRL researchers are interested in how light causes charge separation in large molecular systems. We have been working together to understand the initial stages of the light activation process in our molecular assemblies," Brewer said.
"Previously we concentrated on collecting light and delivering it to the catalyst site. Now we are concentrating on using this activated catalyst to convert water to hydrogen," Brewer said. "Once we know more about how this process happens, using our supramolecular design process, we can plug in different pieces to make it function better."
Jared Brown, of Salem, Va., will present the poster, "Multielectron photoreduction of mixed metal supramolecular complexes and their application in photochemical hydrogen production" (INOR 138), co-authored by Mark Elvington, of Blacksburg, and Brewer, from 7 to 9 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 28.
Elvington will present the poster, "Supramolecular ruthenium(II), rhodium(III) mixed metal complexes as photochemical molecular devices: Mechanistic studies investigating photoinitiated electron collection (INOR 388), co-authored by Brown and Brewer, from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 30.
Poster sessions are in the Washington, D.C., Convention Center Hall A.
ACS summer fellow Shatara Mayfield from North Carolina A&T was awarded a fellowship to spend her summer working on this project.

Dixie City, Joyful Victory return in Honeybee
Nine will line-up on Saturday for the $125,000 Honeybee S. (G3) at Oaklawn Park, the final local prep for that track's April 10 Fantasy S. (G2), and the 1 1/16-mile test features the return of Demoiselle S. (G2) heroine DIXIE CITY (Dixie Union) and Frizette S. (G1) third JOYFUL VICTORY (Tapit).
Pletcher eager for Mo to kick off campaign in Timely Writer
Todd Pletcher understands that expectations for Uncle Mo far exceed an anticipated victory in Saturday's $100,000 Timely Writer at Gulfstream Park. With 2010 Horse of the Year Zenyatta retired and confirmed in foal to Bernardini, his undefeated three-year-old colt is widely viewed as Thoroughbred racing's Next Big Thing -- a rare specimen with the talent and charisma to capture the imagination of the American public.
Kentucky Derby Report
STAY THIRSTY (Bernardini) wasn't spectacular in Saturday's Gotham S. (G3), but he won going away and looked good doing it. Trainer Todd Pletcher got what he wanted with a positive performance to build upon for the Kentucky Derby (G1).
DIALED IN (Mineshaft) faltered Sunday in an allowance at Gulfstream Park, sustaining his first loss with a non-threatening second, but trainer Nick Zito was able to find a silver lining: the 1 1/8-mile event had no pace and the lightly-raced Dialed In needed a two-turn race for foundation. The late runner is eligible to improve off the setback.
Asher to be featured guest on Derby Trail chat
John Asher, Churchill Downs' vice president of racing communications and noted Kentucky Derby (G1) historian, will be the featured guest on Friday night's "Kentucky Derby Trail" live chat between 7-9 p.m. (ET). Moderated by five-time National Handicapping Championship qualifier Tim Holland, the question-and-answer chat will discuss this weekend's Kentucky Derby and Oaks future wagers, and much more.
Rogue Romance out of Louisiana Derby with heel bruise
Catesby W. Clay's Bourbon S. (G3) hero ROGUE ROMANCE (Smarty Jones) has sustained a slight heel bruise and will miss his scheduled workout this weekend as well as his intended start in the $1 million Louisiana Derby (G2) on March 26, his connections announced on Thursday.
Trainer Ken McPeek reported that the colt, bred by Clay in partnership with the Clay family's Runnymede Farm, is walking sound but is somewhat sensitive on the problem foot.
Uncle Mo tops five rivals in Timely Writer
Undefeated champion UNCLE MO (Indian Charlie) will make his highly anticipated three-year-old debut on Saturday against only five rivals in the $100,000 Timely Writer S., a one-turn mile at Gulfstream Park. Originally scheduled to return in the Tampa Bay Derby (G2), the colt's connections -- owner Mike Repole and trainer Todd Pletcher -- changed course in February and began building up a Timely Writer bid instead.
San Felipe features Jaycito, Comma to the Top
A visually impressive winner of the Norfolk S. (G1) last October when overcoming a wide trip, Zayat Stables' JAYCITO (Victory Gallop) took a step backward in the November 6 Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) at Churchill Downs, finishing a distant seventh after losing considerable ground early and bolting. Moved from trainer Mike Mitchell to Bob Baffert over the winter, the big colt will make his belated seasonal debut for that outfit in Saturday's $250,000 San Felipe S. (G2) at Santa Anita.

A method for loading a sample for imaging by an optical tomography system. A sample volume including at least one microscopic sample and a viscous fluid is coaxially loaded into a sample delivery tube. The sample volume is impelled through a focus cell into a capillary tube, where the capillary tube has a smaller crossectional area than the sample delivery tube, so that a reduced volume of the at least one microscopic sample and viscous fluid is constrained to a central region within the capillary tube.
1. A method for loading a sample for imaging by an optical tomography system comprising the steps of:
loading a sample volume including at least one microscopic sample into a sample delivery tube;
coupling the sample delivery tube to a hydrodynamic focus cell with a nozzle injector, where the hydrodynamic focus cell includes a plurality of sheath injection ports and a capillary tube outlet;
injecting a sheath fluid into the plurality of sheath injection ports to form separate sheath flow streams and delivering the sample volume through the nozzle injector while maintaining a distance between an output end of the plurality of sheath injection ports and an output of the nozzle injector so that the sheath fluid and sample flow streams join coaxially at the output end of the nozzle injector to create a coaxially joined sheathed sample volume;
while injecting, simultaneously and continuously axially rotating a capillary tube inserted into a rotating seal coupled to receive the coaxially joined sheathed sample volume; and impelling the coaxially joined sheathed sample volume through the rotating seal into the continuously axially rotating capillary tube, where the continuously axially rotating capillary tube has a smaller cross-sectional area than tapered flow cell at the position of the sample injector, and where the hydrodynamic focus cell includes a tapered flow cell so that a reduced volume of the at least one microscopic sample and sheath fluid is constrained to a central region within the rotating capillary tube, and where the plurality of sheath injection ports, the sample delivery tube, the rotating capillary tube and the continuously axially rotating seal are axially aligned along a central axis and the continuously axially rotating capillary tube is rotated with the rotating seal around the central axis;
wherein a rotation bearing allows the capillary tube to be rotated via a belt and motor.

3. The method of
The present invention relates to optical tomographic imaging systems in general, and, more particularly, to optical tomography where a small object, such as a biological cell, for example, is fluidically positioned in a capillary tube for imaging by a microscope.
Recent advances in imaging biological cells using optical tomography have been developed by Nelson as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,522,775, issued Feb. 18, 2003, and entitled "APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IMAGING SMALL OBJECTS IN A FLOW STREAM USING OPTICAL TOMOGRAPHY," the full disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. Further development in the field is taught in Fauver et al., U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/716,744, filed Nov. 18, 2003 and published as US Publication No. US-2004-0076319-A1 on Apr. 22, 2004, entitled "METHOD AND APPARATUS OF SHADOWGRAM FORMATION FOR OPTICAL TOMOGRAPHY," the full disclosure of which is also incorporated by reference.
Processing in such an optical tomography system begins with specimen preparation. Typically, specimens taken from a patient are received from a hospital or clinic and processed to remove non-diagnostic elements, fixed and then stained. Stained specimens are then mixed with an optical gel, inserted into a micro-capillary tube and images of objects, such as cells, in the specimen are produced using an optical tomography system. The resultant images comprise a set of extended depth of field images from differing perspectives called "pseudoprojection images." The set of pseudoprojection images can be reconstructed using backprojection and filtering techniques to yield a 3D tomogram of a cell of interest.
The 3D tomogram then remains available for analysis in order to enable the quantification and the determination of the location of structures, molecules or molecular probes of interest. An object such as a biological cell may be labeled with at least one stain or tagged molecular probe, and the measured amount and location of this probe may yield important information about the disease state of the cell, including, but not limited to, various cancers such as lung, breast, prostate, cervical and ovarian cancers.
In Optical Tomography Microscope (OPTM) systems as described, for example, in Fauver, about 250 sample images taken over a 180 degree rotation are required to adequately sample the volume of a cell nucleus randomly distributed in a flow stream within a 50 micron capillary tube. Due to limitations in the previous cell introduction method, a high number of the cells appear close to the capillary tube walls making the sampling just good enough to render ˜0.6 micron resolution at an outer radius.
Because such optical tomography systems use unfocused capillary tube loading techniques, cells and other objects are prone to tracking errors and optical imperfections including geometric distortion and loss of resolution from aberrations induced by tube wall refraction. Such systems are also sensitive to longitudinal movement due to vibration of media, temperature changes, entrapped gas expansion and/or gel instability from chemistry and local rheology changes. Uncentered specimens also tend to stick to walls or move slowly along walls leading to clogging from aggregations of cells attaching to walls. Present systems also suffer from sample carryover problems.
In order to improve throughput, a method for providing higher resolution or improved signal to noise is needed to reduce sampling requirements while maintaining acceptable resolution. The present invention provides new and novel techniques for centering samples and reducing sample volumes to improve image acquisition and throughput in an OPTM system while mitigating sample carryover issues.
The present invention provides a method for loading a sample for imaging by an optical tomography system. A sample volume including at least one microscopic sample and a viscous fluid is coaxially loaded into a sample delivery tube. The sample volume is impelled through a focus cell into a capillary tube, where the capillary tube has a smaller crossectional area than the sample delivery tube, so that a reduced volume of the at least one microscopic sample and viscous fluid is constrained to a central region within the capillary tube.
The invention is described herein with respect to specific examples relating to biological cells, however, it will be understood that these examples are for the purpose of illustrating the principals of the invention, and that the invention is not so limited.
Generally as used herein the following terms have the following meanings when used within the context of optical microscopy processes:
Referring now to
Typically, however, a majority of specimen nuclei and cell types to be analyzed in a biological sample such as sputum will be smaller than 25 microns in diameter. In order to constrain the cell's flow stream to within a +/−5 micron radius of the central flow stream, the overall radius to be sampled will be 15 microns or a 30 micron central diameter. Should the sample be constrained to nuclei only, with typical size of 10 microns, the central volume's diameter to be sampled would be 15 microns.
Referring now to
Referring now to
A sheath fluid injection port 220 is bored or otherwise made in the case 250 to be in fluid communication with the ribbed conical section 230 at a sheath fluid input channel 260. The seal housing 252 centrally holds a rotating seal 202 that is axially aligned to accept a sample delivered by a syringe needle 272 inserted through the tapered flow cell 224. The tapered flow cell 224 terminates at a capillary tube outlet 232. In a preferred embodiment, the syringe needle 272 comprises a replaceable injector needle. The replaceable injector needle advantageously reduces carryover issues and also reduces the overall cleaning volume that must be flushed through a system to assure the specimen minimal carry over.
The bearing race 254 holds a rotation bearing 282 in a pressure fit against a shaft housing 285. A shaft 290 is centrally mounted in the shaft housing 285. The shaft 290 has a bore for accepting a replaceable capillary tube 274 that is also axially aligned. A drive gear 280 is adapted to engage the shaft housing 285. The drive gear 280 includes an elongated annular tapered element 292 constructed to accept and centrally hold the replaceable capillary tube 274 in line with the central axis 270. The case 250, seal housing 252, tube 251 and shaft 290 are linearly aligned along a central axis 270.
Referring now to
Using the rotating high pressure hydrodynamic focus flow cell of the present invention, specimen centering results from a centered flow produced by coaxially joining two streams under laminar flow conditions. Laminar flow may be described by the relationships:
where R=(density)(Velocity)(Diameter)/viscosity.
Ideally the flow velocities are matched or nearly matched at the injection location. When flow velocities are equal the initial core diameter to sheath diameter ratio will be preserved. At the point where the central flow and outer, "sheath," flow streams are joined, the flow streams assume the same flow profile. As flow transitions down the conical flow profile of the hydrodynamic focusing cell, the velocity of the fluid increases to support the constant mass flow through the taper. As the velocity increases the fluid is extruded into a much smaller diameter, but the flow streams retain the same relative position across the flow profile. Particulate in the central flow streams will remain in the central flow streams.
Referring now jointly to
A sheath fluid (not shown) is injected into the sheath fluid injection port 220 through the fluid input channel 260 and into the plurality of sheath injection ports 226 to form separate sheath flow streams. At substantially the same time, the syringe needle 272 delivers a sample through the syringe needle nozzle injector 201 at needle location 201 a. A distance 304 between an output end 305 of conical section 230 and the output of syringe needle nozzle injector 201 is enough to allow the separate sheath flow streams to create a fully formed joined flow profile. The sheath fluid and sample flow streams join coaxially at an output end of syringe needle nozzle injector 201. When the drive gear 280 rotationally engages the shaft housing, the syringe needle 272 in cooperation with the sheath fluid ports can deliver a coaxially joined sheathed sample volume through the syringe needle nozzle injector 201 to the replaceable capillary tube 274 inserted at the capillary tube outlet 232.
In a preferred embodiment, the gel media for carrying the sample should exhibit high viscosity and thixotropic properties suitable for retaining the central core of sample once it is injected into the central region of the gel media in the syringe. Particles once loaded into a syringe core will extrude down a capillary tube with the particles remaining in the central flow stream via laminar flow down the capillary tube, Additionally, the tapered delivery transition piece, tapered flow cell 224, creates a smooth transition from the syringe flow to the capillary tube inside diameter.
The gel media may also advantageously be an optical gel selected to match the refractive index of the capillary tube. Index matching materials are commercially available (e.g. commercial sources include Nye Optical Gels, Dymax Corp, and Cargille Labs) and include, for example optical gels, oils and fluids of varying indices of refraction for reducing light reflection at optical interfaces, Optical gels are particularly useful where higher viscosity is desired and may comprise a medium of oil, gel, polymer epoxy, or other optically transparent materials that matches refractive indices of the surroundings. Specimens can be held in index-matching epoxy, embedding media, or plastic polymer as well as index-matching gels and viscous fluids.
Use of the hydrodynamic focus cell of the present invention also allows reducing the number of samples required for reconstruction, thereby improving data collection speed from 1.6 to as much as 3.3 times faster than without hydrodynamic focusing. The hydrodynamic focus cell of the invention facilitates centering of a specimen which reduces tracking errors and dynamic range of focus tracking required, and substantially reduces tube wall optical effects including geometric distortion and loss of resolution from aberrations induced by wall refraction. At the same time, the system of the invention allows increasing the overall diameter of capillary tubes for holding specimens making the overall OPTM system less sensitive to longitudinal movement due to factors like vibration of the gel, temperature changes, entrapped gas expansion or gel instability from chemistry or local rheology changes.
The system of the present invention improves reliability by the reducing the tendency of specimen to stick to walls or move slowly along walls, thereby reducing clogging from aggregations of cells attaching to walls. Hydrodynamic focus inherently causes cells to pull apart longitudinally, thereby reducing clogging and improving presentation to a microscope by reducing the probability that cells will be close together. The Reynolds number in a small diameter capillary tube remains below 20 even at higher velocities making high throughput possible without turbulence upsetting the centering of the specimen.

The first syringe barrel grip 122 may advantageously be fixed to the base plate 112 to provide accuracy in the stroke of the plunger 105 relative to the syringe barrel 126. In one example, the syringe barrel grip 122 is constructed of a rigid material such as aluminum or the like, or other known materials, and shaped to fit a standard U-100 syringe barrel. An adapter or fitting may be used to adjustably connect the linear actuator shaft 104 to the syringe plunger 105. The first and second linear actuators 106, 110 may comprise, for example, unipolar stepper motor encasements that convert electrical pulses to linear, mechanical strokes of the linear actuator shafts 104, 120.
In typical use, syringe A contains a media gel and syringe B contains a sample, where the sample typically comprises biological cells held in an optical gel. Prior to loading the sample into syringe A, the small outer diameter needle 107 of syringe B is inserted into the center of syringe A.
Referring now to
The high viscosity of the fluids used in syringes A and B, and relatively small dimensions of both the syringes and capillaries used in the optical tomography sample delivery assure low Reynolds numbers for the flows within the sample delivery system. The rheological properties of high viscosity and thixotropic sample media allow the suspension of cells without settling and the stopping of flow to allow rotation of the sample capillary tube without disturbing the angular or longitudinal (i.e. flow axis dimension) of the sample. A sample loaded into the syringe pump in a coaxial manner so that it is constrained to a central core of the sample delivery tube will not experience turbulence, especially in a delivery system where the transition to capillary tube is tapered and smooth. A syringe central core load of this type can be pumped through a capillary tube retaining the relative radial position of the cells. Cells that start in the center of a laminar flow system will maintain that central flow stream. As the flow stream constricts from a few millimeters in diameter down to less than 100 microns, the central particles will remain in the center. The rheological response of a thixotropic non-newtonian fluid like the gel media in which the cells are embedded creates a thinning of the fluid along the walls where shear is greatest as gel begins to flow. The result of this shear thinning nearest the wall has the effect of creating a flatter velocity flow profile that leaves central particles undisturbed by differential flow velocities across their diameter.
Having described the fluid focusing systems contemplated by the invention, an example of a method of the present invention for loading a reduced sample volume for imaging by an optical tomography system will now be described. A sample volume, including at least one microscopic sample and a viscous fluid, may be coaxially loaded into a sample delivery tube, such as tube 251. The sample volume may then be impelled through a tapered delivery transition piece, such as tapered flow cell 224 into a capillary tube 274. The capillary tube has a smaller crossectional area than the sample delivery tube, so that a reduced volume of the at least one microscopic sample and viscous fluid is constrained to a central region within the capillary tube. Preferably, the sample volume is formed by coaxially joining two streams under laminar flow conditions wherein one of the two streams contains the at least one microscopic sample. According to one aspect of the method of the invention, the two streams are joined under laminar flow conditions by separately injecting the two streams into either a tapered flow tube or a hydrodynamic focus cell.
The invention has been described herein in considerable detail in order to comply with the Patent Statutes and to provide those skilled in the art with the information needed to apply the novel principles of the present invention, and to construct and use such exemplary and specialized components as are required. However, it is to be understood that the invention may be carried out by specifically different equipment, and devices, and that various modifications, both as to the equipment details and operating procedures, may be accomplished without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

My sweetheart is currently reading Laura Shanley's Unassisted Childbirth, which I think is a wonderful resource for anyone interesting in this type of birthing process. Also Ina May Gaskin's Spiritual Midwifery as it has a lot of birth stories written from the father's perspective.
I have been suggesting he read birth stories and watch unassisted birthing videos on youtube (he has not done that yet, but I still have hope), just to prepare his mind for what is to come. I am pretty sure Laura Shanley's website has a bunch of birth stories on it specifically about unassisted childbirth.

How to Get a Raise: Examining, Researching and Explaining Your Worth
August 25, 2011
Even in a challenging economy, competitive companies strive to retain talent and avoid costs associated with training new replacements. While benefits and workplace rewards are an important factor in keeping employees happy, productive and engaged, base salary remains the primary fulcrum for retention. Companies give raises because talent has value and turnover costs money.
Do you feel you're paid what you're worth? If not, preparing to ask for a raise can be a daunting process. But, with a few simple steps, it doesn't have to be.
First and foremost, you have to be honest about your own performance. Ask yourself the following questions:
Have my original job duties expanded enough to warrant more pay?
Can I cite specific actions or projects that have contributed to my company's bottom line?
Has my performance exceeded expectations?
Has my leadership inspired others?
Was I willing to follow direction when asked to be a part of a team?
If your answer to each of these questions is a resounding, "Yes," document examples and create talking points for a meeting with your manager. Essentially, you are creating a list of facts to justify merit, scope of work and irreplaceability. As you build your case, anticipate potential challenges and be prepared to rebut them.
Next, research how your salary compares to the market pay rate. SalaryExpert's Premium Salary Report provides salary information unique to your position and location. Reports are personalized based on your experience and education level, the industry you work in and the size of your company. Often, employees overlook obtaining a salary report prior to discussing a pay increase with their employers. On the other hand, managers and human resource professionals are typically equipped with multiple salary surveys and analysis software; going into a negotiation without your own report about the labor market puts you at an immediate disadvantage.
Once you have an understanding of the "going rate" for your position, tap other resources such as job boards to examine postings for similar positions in similar industries. Although salary discussions are discouraged among colleagues, try contacting people in your network for advice on hypothetical situations or join association discussion boards for industry-related pay data.
With a clear picture of your performance and the market rate for your position, prepare a "matchstick statement" — an assertive, specific and concise statement delivered in the time it takes a struck match to burn your fingertips.
This statement will set the ground rules for the meeting: you're confident you deserve a raise; you have examples of your successes; you have substantial data to pinpoint your worth; and you're ready to discuss options.
Although background research is imperative, how and when you approach your manager can ultimately dictate the outcome of any negotiation. If your employer does not have an established salary review program, use common sense to find the appropriate opportunity to request a private meeting, such as when the overall business is doing well, or after you have just accomplished something significant for the organization. Give advance notice of the reason for the meeting, as well as suitable time for your managers to contact human resources or their superiors. Nobody likes to be ambushed.
During the meeting, be prepared to follow your matchstick statement with proper support. Direct the discussion away from money from the start. Be organized and straightforward. Don't be antagonistic — this is the time to check your emotions at the door. After you and your employer have discussed your value as an employee, then talk about money.
Also, be prepared to discuss new opportunities should your manager determine a pay raise is not possible at that time. Follow up any negative response by asking positive questions regarding how you can improve performance, take on more responsibility and work toward your goal of higher compensation. Remember, your managers might not view your successes the same way you do. By discussing their wants and needs, you may be able to reach a compromise. At the very least, this calm and well-researched demonstration of your performance value may lead to a higher increase in pay upon your next review.

So Saturday's Beaver Freezer sprint tri got me thinking about my training and what needs to change, as well as my gear setup. This is tricky subject, because it has to deal with balance. You can easily go overboard on both, and get detrimental effects, too.
Areas that are going to get tweaked…
Bike gear
There are several pieces of gear I need to update/add before my next race, definitely before June's Oly. At the minimum: a new seat post to change my angle (Profile Design Fast Forward), clip-on aero bars (Profile Design T2+), shorter stem, remove two-three spacers to drop my handlebars, and maybe a different tri-specific saddle. I'm also going to try out Bike Fast Fit app to see how I'm getting everything set.
The bike is really the only place I need to change my gear around; everything else is dialed in and good to go.
There are two aspects of my training that need to be modified: frequency and intensity.
I need to make sure I'm training every day, except for my designated rest day. I read a great article about how much training per sport to do, and it broke it down by percentage…it related the amount of time you spent on each sport during the race. Cycling came out to 60%, because mileage- and time-wise it's the longest duration discipline.
I haven't used the "I'm tired" excuse in a long time, but I still need to make sure I'm training more regularly. My swimming, in particular, tends to suffer on long work days. I need to make sure that I'm consistent; that's going to be my single biggest success factor.
I'm also going to be incorporating once-a-week brick workouts. I'm not too worried about swim-to-bike, but bike-to-run needs some work (gotta work on my cadence so I don't lose steam coming off the bike).
I need to change the way I'm training…or at least tweak it. I love running with my group three days a week, but I need to focus on speed. I really want my next tri 5K to be sub-7:30 average, and that won't happen if I just run at my "run all day" pace (as fun as that is). The nice thing is that I have several members who will run as fast as I lead (especially at the 3-5 mile distance), so I'll still get to run with them. Not every run will be at race pace, but my overall average training speed needs to increase.
Weight/body fat
I need to drop a few pounds, all of it fat. I'm currently at 146lbs and about 9% body fat (according to my Withings scale, so there's some 5-10% margin of error there on BF). I still have about 3/4″ of fat across my abs, but not much elsewhere. Still, I could trim up some; the additional weight loss (as long as I'm not sacrificing muscle) sure can't hurt my speed.
Last but certainly not least is diet…which ties in to weight/body fat above. My diet is now very clean; I only eat junk food on the weekends, and then not every meal. But we have a tendency to have our traditional Friday night pizza, and lunch out on weekends can be hit or miss. That has to change. I need to be eating cleaner more consistently than ever before. Food as fuel, as I've written before. I need to focus on the fuel principle, and with only rare exceptions, put nothing in my mouth that can't be used to power the machine. This will be the second biggest thing, I think, that'll impact my success.
All in all, nothing major…I've made some huge inroads over the last year, but this is all just helping me get it dialed in and make me a better athlete.
Keep moving!!

Daily Sports Roundup: October 1
There are three baseball playoff games and a single college football matchup on the schedule for Wednesday. Here's a look at those contests in your Daily Sports Roundup.
The Gridiron Spotlight
There is just one college football game on the schedule for Wednesday night - and that's Louisiana Tech at No. 17 Boise State. The Broncos are coming off a big 37-32 win over Oregon on September 20 that moved them to 3-0 on the season (they also beat Idaho State and Bowling Green). Louisiana Tech has managed to get past both Mississippi State and Southeastern Louisiana, but they were outclassed when they ran into Kansas back on September 6 - the Bulldogs were blanked 29-0 in that contest.
The oddsmakers fully expect Louisiana Tech to get crushed by a ranked team once again on Wednesday - they're big 22.5-point underdogs against the unbeaten Broncos.
Other Notable Events
With the AL Central sideshows of Monday and Tuesday now in the books we get to start watching some real playoff action on Wednesday. Both National League Division Series get going on Wednesday, while the Red Sox and Angels hook up in some AL action.
The matchups in the Senior Circuit are Milwaukee at Philadelphia, and the Dodgers at the Cubs. Game 1 of the Brewers/Phillies series (3:05pm ET) will feature a pitching battle between Yovani Gallardo (0-0, 1.88 ERA) and Cole Hamels (14-10, 3.09 ERA). Gallardo made his long-awaited return from injury on September 25, holding the Pirates to one earned run over four innings of work. Hamels is coming off a loss to the Braves, but he's held the opposition to two or fewer earned runs in nine of his last 10 starts.
In the opener of the Dodgers/Cubs series (6:35pm ET) it'll be Derek Lowe (14-11, 3.24 ERA) vs. Ryan Dempster (17-6, 2.96 ERA). Lowe has given up just two earned runs over his last 36 1-3 innings of work, and he's 6-1 with three no-decisions in his last 10 outings. Dempster gave up just one earned run over five innings in each of last two starts, and he's allowed three or fewer earned runs in nine of his past 10 mound trips.
Over in the AL the Red Sox/Angels opener (10:05pm ET) will have Boston's Jon Lester (16-6, 3.21 ERA) taking on Los Angeles' John Lackey (12-5, 3.75 ERA). Lester held the Indians to one earned run on two hits over six innings in his last start, and he has four wins in his past five games. Lackey will be looking to bounce back from a pounding at the hands of the Rangers last time out in which he gave up 10 runs in 2 2-3 innings.
All of the home teams are pegged as the favorites for Wednesday's games; the Phillies and Hamels are at -200, while the Cubs are at -159, and the Angels are now at -117.
The Rest of the Schedule
The best-of-five WNBA Finals tips off on Wednesday night, with Detroit at San Antonio. The Shock topped New York 75-73 in the deciding game of the Eastern Conference Finals on Monday night, while the Silver Stars bounced Los Angeles 76-72 on Sunday to advance past the Western Conference Finals. Game 2 will be played Friday night.
News from the Wire
Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall is out for the season after suffering a shoulder injury on Monday night . . . Lions RB Rudi Johnson has replaced Kevin Smith as the team's starter in the backfield. Bengals QB Carson Palmer plans on playing this weekend after sitting out against the Browns on Sunday. Browns QB Derek Anderson has a better grip on his starting gig after the team's win over the weekend. Penguins defenseman Sergei Gonchar will miss four-to-six months due to shoulder surgery.
A Peek at the Future
The fourth MLB divisional series gets underway in Tampa Bay on Thursday . . . there are two ranked college football teams in action on Thursday night, with Pittsburgh at No. 10 South Florida, and Oregon State at No. 15 Utah. The Bulls are pegged as 13.5-point favorites in their contest, while the Utes have been listed as 12-point favorites . . . the Sprint Cup Series hits Talladega this week for Sunday afternoon's Amp Energy 500.

I just couldn't get into it. I enjoyed the prequel that had me desperately wanting to read the full book, but once I began Dark Splendor I found the writing just seemed to stagnate. I thought the concept was great but I just couldn't lose myself in the way it was written. I felt no emotion towards any of the characters and I found myself skimming over quite a lot of the overly long descriptions of the clothes, castle, etc. Like I said, I really did like the concept though.

Absolutely loved this book. After reading Dark Prelude I immediately bought Dark Splendor because I was hooked. I liked how it keeps you guessing and all the different twists which made the book entertaining and captivating. The downside for me was the abrupt ending and i was expecting the story to finish with a bigger bang. Otherwise great read.

The prequel short leading into this was a perfect hook. It got me to read the preview and then purchase the full novel all on it's own.
The Novel is a nice little romance. A light easy read with enjoyable characters and an interesting plot. The ending felt a little flat to me, after all the build up I was expecting a little more twist.
Over all, worth a few dollars and a few hours of your time.

I also meant to ask if you knew about Active Captain for planning out trips? It is a great resource.
I also just saw your reply to FishSticks. You are right about the lack of good warm water beaches around here. But I still think that VA might be a little far for your experience level. But hey, you may be more risk tolerant then me (or rather my Wife because I would probably to that trip with your level of experience too).
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -Mark Twain

Moon Rock Found in Africa
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — University of New Mexico researchers have identified a 2.9 billion-year-old lunar meteorite, the youngest dated lunar rock.
"It was a little piece of rock containing various minerals," said earth and planetary sciences department senior research scientist Lars Borg. "It's not much different than what's on earth."
UNM's sample, obtained from the Natural History Museum in London, was named Northwest Africa 773, or NWA 773, to describe where it was found in 2000.
NWA 773 is a 633-gram lunar meteorite made of impact breccia containing an olivine-rich clast. The bulk of the sample, 48 percent, was made of olivine, interpreted to be of igneous origin.
The last stage of crystallization of an ocean of lunar molten rock produces materials strongly enriched in incompatible elements and phosphorus, termed KREEP. The materials are typical of the moon's western hemisphere.
A large amount of the naturally occurring radioactive isotopes samarium and neodymium enabled UNM's team to date the meteorite.
"We use geochronology to date lunar and Martian meteorites," Borg said. "The sample looked interesting as soon as we started working on it."
The researchers washed and crushed part of the sample to help remove impurities and contaminants from the African desert.
"It allowed us to separate all other 'junk' found in the rock," Borg said. "We used ion chromatography to separate out elements of interest."
The team's work confirmed NWA 773 was the youngest crystallization age from previously dated lunar samples by about 250 million years.
"At UNM we have a state-of-the-art laboratory to perform these types of studies. There is only one other lab in the world that can do the analyses at this level NASA," Borg said.
UNM's research recently was featured in Nature magazine. The research was funded through the NASA Cosmochemistry program.

Press Release: Panthera Applauds IBAMA & Brazil's Federal Police on Illegal Hunting Bust
Panthera applauds the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) and the Federal Police on successfully uncovering an illegal hunting operation using ecotourism as its cover, which organized illegal jaguar and puma hunts for tourists paying up to R$40,000 (24,748 USD). The regional office of IBAMA Corumbá fined the ranch owner and tour operator R$105,000 (65,016 USD) for the crime of illegally hunting wildlife for tourism purposes.

Goal Met! 'Let Lions Live' Campaign Raises Over $30,000 to Protect Africa's Last Lion
We are thrilled to announce that Panthera surpassed its goal of raising $30,000 in a 30 day period through the 'Let Lions Live' campaign to conserve the fewer than 30,000 remaining lions in Africa. Thanks to a generous donor, every dollar of the more than $30,000 raised for the 'Let Lions Live' campaign has been matched.
Save Vanishing Species Stamp Benefitting Tiger Conservation to be Released in September
The U.S. Postal Service has recently created a new Save Vanishing Species stamp that will benefit wild tiger conservation. Available in September at post offices and at the Wildlife Conservation Society (a Panthera partner) including the Bronx Zoo, the stamp will cost 55 cents - 11 cents more than a first class stamp. Net proceeds from the sale of each stamp will be donated to conservation projects supported by the U.S.
A Message from Dr. Luke Hunter: You've Helped Raise Over $30,000 for Africa's Lions
Dear Panthera Supporters,
I am excited to share with you that we have surpassed our goal for the 'Let Lions Live' campaign. To date, we have raised more than $30,000 for the remaining wild African lions, and there are still four days left!
Each dollar raised for the 'Let Lions Live' campaign is being matched by a generous donor who has been so inspired by your outpouring of support that he has decided to match all donations, up to any amount, until the end of the campaign on Friday, May 27th.
Panthera Names Our Newest Junior Ambassador
Panthera has recently named our newest Junior Ambassador – a seven year old from White Plains, New York named Grace, who is dedicating her creative talents to wild cat conservation. According to her mom, Grace's fascination with the natural world started when she was just 3 or 4 years old when she insisted on saving every bug that fell into their pool. An afternoon of splashing around with her twin brother quickly turned into a massive rescue mission, with Grace trying to airlift every six-legged victim to safety.
Let Lions Live Campaign - Letter from Dr. Philipp Henschel
The end of the 'Let Lions Live' campaign is just one week away, and thanks to you, we are just $4,500 from our goal of raising $30,000 to protect the fewer than 30,000 lions that remain in Africa.
Picking up Poop Builds a Roof
Panthera's field staff understand that while collecting cat scat falls under the less glamorous side of carnivore research, it can provide critical information that may be used to help conserve threatened species, like the lion. All feces contain epithelial cells that are shed from the intestinal lining as it passes through the animal's gut. Panthera has partnered with the Global Felid Genetics Programme (GFGP) at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City to extract DNA from scat collected in the field, and to use this material to create a 'genetic fingerprint' for individual cats.

Level of DifficultyReally easy

Age of ApplianceMore than 10 years
98 out of 110 people found this instruction helpful
First I called an appliance repair place. They charged me $40 to come out and said "the air vent might be clogged". I snaked it out and really wasn't anything in there. So I started thinking it might be a thermostat. After reading the reviews that others posted here, I said, "how hard can it be"? Thanks to PartsSelect putting a diagram (schematic) of the parts, I could see what I was looking for when I removed the back panel. So I took my nutdrivers out, disconnected the vent hose and removed the 10 or so nuts off the back panel & got it out of the way. Took out the vacuum cleaner and sucked all the lint out. Removed the housing where the heating element was and marked on both thermostats and housing where each wires went. As cheap as PartsSelect had the thermostats priced, I figured why not remove the guesswork by buying the highlimit and cycling thermostats and a new heating element too. One screw in each thermostat and out they came. Swapped wires with new thermostats and put them back. With the heating element...it was all one piece, so no fighting to get the element into an old housing. Just swapped them. Put the back panel on and reconnected the vent hose. Cost to repair: about $100. Time for parts to get to me: 2 days. Time to install new parts: about 10 minutes. Knowing that I have a dryer that runs like new AND saving a TON of money on electric bill....THAT is priceless. Thanks PartsSelect!

The Saints will travel to Nashville, Tenn., today for their Thursday preseason finale against the Titans. We've still got Saints Linkage for you, however.
Like the 2009 regular season, the Saints are leading the league in offense in the preseason. And who is benefitting the most? Why, the Saints' defense, of course.
Jeremy Shockey was one of eight players who missed practice Tuesday.
The Saints cut two players to get to the league's mandated 75-player roster limit. They still have 22 players to cut by 3 p.m. Saturday.
Marques Colston, for possibly the first time in his life, was called for unsportsmanlike conduct against the Chargers. Regardless, he's trying to maintain the consistency that made him one of the NFL's best.
Elsewhere around the interweb:
Les East, writing for the Baton Rouge Advocate, says that the Saints have two oustanding youngsters playing special teams for them - Garrett Hartley and Thomas Morstead.
Brian Allee-Walsh of NewOrleans.com believes that S Darren Sharper will begin the season on the PUPlist. Ingram, too.
East, putting on his NewOrleans.com hat, just wants the season to begin.
Mike Triplett of the T-P/NOLA.com news syndicate writes that Drew Brees and other starters won't play against Tennessee.
James Varney, Triplett's backcourt mate at the T-P/NOLA.com, writes that the Saints have only five of their 2010 draft picks left on the roster.
Brett Martel of the Associatd Press writes a wonderful feature on Drew Brees in which we find out how the quarterback punishes himself.
Nationally speaking:
Peter King of SI.com says he doesn't think Darren Sharper plays opening weekend.
EOSB friend Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com ranks the offensive linemen of the NFCSouth and the Saints have some highly-rated dudes.
Christopher Harris of ESPN.com says the Saints have a sleeper on their roster this season.
The Sporting News puts out three bullet points about what we have learned about the Saints in the preseason.

Oregon picked to defend Pac-10 title, edging USC
PASADENA, Calif. Even without their star quarterback, the Oregon Ducks ended Southern California's seven-year reign as the Pac-10's preseason favorite.
A year after breaking USC's seven-year stranglehold on the Pac-10, coach Chip Kelly's defending champions were picked to win it again in the preseason media poll Thursday. Oregon edged longtime darling USC by three points, underlining the balance in a conference race that usually was all about chasing the Trojans in recent years.
Don't expect Kelly to get giddy about added expectations, though. Not after dismissing troubled passer Jeremiah Masoli from his team before heading into what's expected to be the most wide-open season in nearly a decade for a rebranded, growing league striving to prove it belongs with the nation's best.
"Last year, you picked us third and Arizona eighth," Kelly said to reporters at the Rose Bowl on Thursday for the annual media day. "I learned from last year's poll that we probably weren't going to put a lot of stock in it. Preseason rankings don't mean anything to us. ... The teams that win in this league are the teams that keep their playmakers healthy."
Or keep them out of trouble with the law, which Masoli couldn't manage. Kelly is looking forward to a preseason competition between Darron Thomas and Nate Costa, who led the Ducks to a win last season over UCLA on the same Rose Bowl field.
The Ducks edged USC 314-311 in the poll's second-closest voting since it began in 1961. After returning the league's fewest starters last season, Oregon will rely on its experience to get through any personnel shortages in another competitive season.
"This is a conference that any team in it can win," Ducks defensive lineman Brandon Bair said. "It's not just about one or two teams. There's talent across the board."
Oregon received 15 first-place votes to 12 for the Trojans from 35 participating members. Oregon State was picked third with 262 points, with Stanford fourth and Arizona - which finished in a second-place tie and made the Holiday Bowl last season - fifth.
"I think every team has some questions that need to be answered," Wildcats coach Mike Stoops said. "The team that answers them the quickest is going to do the best."
After a record seven teams received at least one first-place vote, every Pac-10 coach realizes there's no clear favorite this fall. That parity has sent a burst of energy throughout a league that once strived to avoid its reputation as the Pac-1 during USC's dominant decade.
"We've been the left-coast conference and perceived as a finesse conference for years," said UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel, whose Bruins were picked eighth. "You get into conversations with somebody east of the Mississippi River and they'll tell you, 'You play that throwing-the-ball-around football, not the 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust, tough-guy stuff.'"
New Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott has made it his mission to get rid of that reputation by raising the Pac-10's national profile. The 10 coaches and a few players went back East earlier in the week, making several media appearances and even hitting the New York Stock Exchange to promote a conference with games that sometimes start when the East Coast is going to bed.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has seized 50 snakes from LaFollette pastor Andrew Hamblin.
The agency also cited Hamblin for keeping the snakes illegally.
Hamblin is known for using the snakes during worship at Tabernacle Church of God.
Officers visited Hamblin's home Thursday morning to ask about the snakes. The pastor then admitted to having them at his church and led them to where the snakes were being kept.
Hamblin was then issued a citation for Possession of Class 1 Wildlife, which includes species inherently dangerous to humans.
The snakes are now at the Knoxville Zoo where they will be held.
Hamblin will appear in court November 15.

Ethan is an extremely talented violinist, and attends the same art school as Justin Taylor. Justin notices his unique ability at a recital he attends with Lindsay and Melanie on his birthday. Justin begins to like Ethan more than his then-boyfriend Brian, as Ethan is more romantic and affectionate than Brian. At the end of the second season, despite throwing an expensive party for the release of his comic book, Justin dumps Brian and leaves with Ethan.
In the third season, Ethan and Justin are now living together, and the majority of the characters believe Ethan is a better boyfriend for Justin, as he is closer to Justin's age. Soon into the third season, Ethan is offered a chance to work for a recording company. He initially refuses, as part of the deal is that Ethan cannot reveal he is homosexual, but he later accepts it after Brian tells him that "there's nothing noble about being poor." Ethan then has a concert out of town, which he doesn't want Justin to attend, but Justin goes anyway, and spots a fan flirting with Ethan. Ethan and the fan leave together, and Justin is suspicious. When Justin and Ethan are celebrating back home, the same fan shows up at their apartment with a bouquet of flowers, and it is revealed that Ethan had cheated on Justin. Justin then moves out, and eventually reunites with Brian. Ethan is never seen or heard from again.

Slayer's Paul Bostaph: I'm a Little Tired of Hearing Dave Lombardo's Side of the Story
Former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo has been taking shots at his former band lately via a series of interviews.
Former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo has been taking shots at his former band lately via a series of interviews.
It's been a few years, but drummer Paul Bostaph is back behind the kit for Slayer and will get to show off his chops with the band on their summer tour. Bostaph was recently named a full-time replacement after the group decided to move forward without Dave Lombardo following a contractual dispute earlier this year. In his first interview since rejoining the band, Bostaph spoke with Nikki Blakk of San Francisco's 107.7 The Bone about his return and he also shared memories of late Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman.
The past few months have been a tumultuous time for Slayer, as the band went their separate ways with drummer Dave Lombardo and mourned the loss of late guitarist Jeff Hanneman. Now, the thrash metal veterans have announced that drummer Paul Bostaph has replaced Lombardo on a full-time basis.
Since drummer Paul Bostaph was unable to play drums for Testament during the recording of their upcoming album 'The Dark Roots of the Earth,' the band recruited Gene Hoglan (Fear Factory, Dethklok, ex-Strapping Young Lad) to play on the record. Hoglan also filled in for a number of dates on Testament's recent tour with Anthrax. Now, Testament frontman Chuck Billy has confirmed that Bostaph has left the band to play with the new group BlackGates.
