Any 'old people' & long time Jane's fans?
Here to introduce myself: Andrea from Brooklyn and I've been a Jane's fan since middle school... now I'm somewhere in my 30's and don't you just love it when you've found one of those bands that still grows with you? I still have my well worn VCR tape of The Gift... which is that on DVD yet? I love their movies; they should have done more in my opinion, because (honestly) who doesn't want to see someone accidentally set a chicken on fire? Anyway, would love to share memories of JA with other fans. Oh, and obviously their music... what really needs to be said?
With love, Andrea

Re: Any 'old people' & long time Jane's fans?
Yep, this includes me too. I am 43 now. I have been listening to JA since the mid-eighties. God, I guess looking back I was just 14-15 years old! LOL. Well, still here and still love 'em. I see a lot of people on this board from NY which is where I was born and raised. Tonight is my show out here in Portland, Oregon. I am so excited I feel like I am going to bounce all around today!

The research team discovered that the situation is rescued by small sequences of RNA (called siRNAs) that restore methylation of transposable elements in the embryo. Indeed, they have found siRNA in sperm cells that silence the transposable elements even before fertilisation, in at least some cases. Transposable elements are very common in all known genomes. In the human genome, for example, they make up 45% of the total genome. They are involved in the evolution of genomes, since when integrated back into the genome they can affect the function and organisation of other genes. However, transposable elements are mutagens, and, therefore, their activation needs to be under tight control, as it may be harmful to the cell and the organism. If such harmful mutations occur in sexual cells, they will be transmitted to the progeny and spread in the population.
Says Jrg Becker, 'We have unveiled a mechanism in the sexual cells that can prevent the activation of potentially harmful transposable elements, while at the same time, upon fusion of sperm cell and egg cell, allowing the formation of a cell with full capacity to become any cell type, that will give rise to a new generation. On the other hand, if female siRNAs in the egg cell do not match incoming transposable elements from the male, they might escape silencing in the developing embryo, with potentially harmful implications for the new plant that is generated. Such an uncontrolled activation of transposable elements might at least in part explain existin

Eddie & Martha Adcock In March
Eddie & Martha Adcock In March

posts 276
Dear music friends…
I am excited to announce that we will be hosting a house concert at 7:00pm, on Thursday, March 21, 2013, featuring Eddie and Martha Adcock. As many of you know, Eddie Adcock was the banjo player with the famed group The Country Gentlemen whose configuration from 1960-1964 featured Charlie Waller (guitar), Eddie Adcock (banjo), John Duffy (mandolin), and Tom Gray (bass). In my estimation, this was one of the finest bluegrass bands ever, and I attribute much of that to Eddie Adcock who I believe is one of the finest banjo players ever.
You may enjoy watching this sample of The Country Gentlemen performing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..PDV4G7uOp0
And, you will certainly enjoy this preview of Eddie and Martha performing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..kBWwpcYrMM
Trust me - it will be an amazing night!
The concert is $20.00 and 100% goes to the Adcocks.
Please mark the date: March 21, 2013, and please rsvp if you plan to attend because seating is limited.
Eddie has agreed to give a one-hour banjo workshop if I can assemble enough banjo pickers interested in learning from this master. It will be held at our home at 4:00pm on the day of the concert (Thursday, March 21, 2013) and the cost is $30.00 per person. The workshop will be followed by a light dinner (for workshop attendees) and if you are staying for the concert, you'll be able to hang here until concert time (7:00pm). If you have not already rsvp'd to my previous alert to this workshop, please rsvp now for the workshop and concert. I need to have an early head count so Eddie can plan his schedule.
Hope to see you then…

Pregnancy after Mirena
I had a Mirena IUD implanted in August of '05. I'm having it taken out on Tuesday, October 23, 2007. My husband and I would like to concieve ASAP. I'd love to hear stories of pregnancy after Mirena including how long it took for ovulation to return and any difficulties you encoutered due to the IUD

i took my mirena out myself. i only had it in for about 7 months, and it did nothing but cause problems. i bled everyday for those 7 months with the most extreame pain in my stomach. the last 2 months of having it in my stomach got swollen and was really painfull. i couldnt wait any longer for my obgyn to take it out so i looked online about the self removal. easy! just like taking out a tampon. plus we wanted to start trying for another baby. and my husband and i conceived only 4 days after removing the iud! now i am 14 weeks along and everything is going smoothly :) good luck.posted 10/05/2011 by strobel_holly
I was a two and half year user of miraina. on april 9 2012 i had it removed, two days ago i found out that i am 6 weeks pregnant, so doing the math i got pregnant THE DAY the iud was removed. it all depends on when your body is ready to conceive again. good luck to those that are tryingposted 05/23/2012 by lizayers1112
Hello everyone I got the Mirena IUD put in March 22, 2007 and I just got it taken out March 19, 2012 my minestral came on the day after and it lasted for 21days and I have not got my period yet I have taken pregnancy test and they are negatives. My husband and I are trying to conceive, but we are not knowing what is going on really and why I have not had a period in two months yet and not pregnant?posted 05/17/2012 by tiasmith47
hi this will be my 3rd time to answer on this veery old question! the last time i had answered was on the 30th of march, i had said i was finally pregnant after trying for 15 months since i had my iud was removed. Last week I suffered from a ectopic pregnancy, lost my baby and my left fallopian tube. I again blame this 100% on the IUD. My doctor said it could befrom scarring that the IUD caused. I hope no one has the same problems as I have had, I woulnt wish it on anyone.posted 04/20/2012 by 75702
i had my iud removed nov 3 2011 and im now 5 weeks pregenct its jan 2 2012 it really takes no time after the removal...gud luck this will make my 3rd childposted 01/02/2012 by chosen_lucky
I had the mirena removed Nov 29,2011. Had my period Dec 1,2011 and havent had one again since my last one. So i can say right after you get it removed. I took a pregnancy test and it had a very very faint line in the window. So I am pretty sure I am pregnant just waiting a few more days to retest..because i testd 3 days after my missed period. my pregnancy hcg level prolly isnt high enuff..But you can get pregnant real fast after having the mirena taken out..good luck to everyone..posted 01/04/2012 by camohunter24
I had my Mirena for two and a half years, My husband and I decided to try for our third baby. I thought it would be so easy the third time around, I got pregnant with my other children right away. It took seven long months to get pregnant with this one. And there was alot of pain I had cyst. and then had them removed. I thought I would never get pregnant again. It was really hard but I am now 7 weeks pregnant and the baby is healthy so far so good! My advice is if you want to get pregnant right after the Mirena don't get your hopes up so soon. Having a miracle is a tough job. It has to be in perfect timing. So have fun and don't stress about it! Like I said it was a really long seven months and when it happened I wasn't really even trying!posted 02/03/2012 by savannamcnabb

The PC gaming blog Rock, Paper, Shotgun has started a campaign to get rid of differences in release dates.
They have a petition here.
They used Crysis 2 as an example. It was released on the 22nd of March in the US, the 24th in Australia and comes out tomorrow, the 25th, in Europe. I think it should be noted that this is a game that was developed in Europe. This is kind of the pattern now for big releases. Publishers don't want to change it because retail stores only get their stock in once a week, and to change the release dates now would upset the entire system. However, if they don't change the dates, then it encourages piracy:
[from here]
There is nothing publishers like to worry about more than piracy. But like a person with a fear of heights choosing to live in a cable car in space, they do seem to go out of their way to encourage it. Making loud noises about releasing a game – a game that will then be discussed across the internet by those who have completed it in the next couple of days – is a sort of international version of teasing. Impatient gamers, who would very much like to slap down their £30, find that the only way to get the game their friends are playing, and indeed to play the game with their friends, is to download it. It's about the only realistic evidence for those who like to equate piracy with lost sales. - John Walker, RPS
I just thought I'd post about it here to try to raise awareness and hopefully encourage people to sign the petition.

Regional disparities in infant mortality in Canada: a reversal of egalitarian trends
1 Perinatal Epidemiology Research Unit, Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Dalhousie University and the IWK Health Centre, Halifax, Canada
2 Perinatal Epidemiology Research Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Dalhousie University and the IWK Health Centre, Halifax, Canada
3 Maternal and Infant Health Section, Health Surveillance and Epidemiology Division, Public Health Agency of Canada, Ottawa, Canada
BMC Public Health 2009, 9:4 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-9-4Published: 7 January 2009
Although national health insurance plans and social programs introduced in the 1960s led to reductions in regional disparities in infant mortality in Canada, it is unclear if such patterns prevailed in the 1990s when the health care and related systems were under fiscal duress. This study examined regional patterns of change in infant mortality in Canada in recent decades.
We analysed regional changes in crude infant mortality rates and in infant mortality rates among live births with a birth weight ≥ 500 g and ≥ 1,000 g in Canada from 1945 to 2002. Associations between baseline infant mortality rates in the provinces and territories (e.g., in 1985–89) and the change observed in infant mortality rates over the subsequent period (e.g., between 1985–89 and 1995–99) were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Trends in regional disparities were also assessed by calculating period-specific rate ratios between provinces/territories with the highest versus the lowest infant mortality.
Provincial/territorial infant mortality rates in 1945–49 were not correlated with changes in infant mortality over the next 10 years (rho = 0.01, P = 0.99). However, there was a strong negative correlation between infant mortality rates in 1965–69 and the subsequent decline in infant mortality (rho = - 0.85, P = 0.002). Provinces/territories with higher infant mortality rates in 1965–69 (Northwest Territories 64.7 vs British Columbia 20.7 per 1,000 live births) experienced relatively larger reductions in infant mortality between 1965–69 and 1975–79 (53.7% decline in the Northwest Territories vs a 36.6% decline in British Columbia). This pattern was reversed in the more recent decades. Provinces/territories with higher infant mortality rates ≥ 500 g in 1985–89 experience relatively smaller reductions in infant mortality between 1985–89 and 2000–02 (rho = 0.82, P = 0.004). The infant mortality ≥ 500 g rate ratio (contrasting the province/territory with the highest versus lowest infant mortality) was 3.2 in 1965–69, 2.4 in 1975–79, 2.2 in 1985–89, 3.1 in 1995–99 and 4.1 in 2000–02.
Fiscal constraints in the 1990s led to a reversal of provincial/territorial patterns of change in infant mortality in Canada and to an increase in regional health disparities.

Product description
Philosophical about life and death in a light, approachable way, this book is a mature debut from a 21-year-old novelist. Mark Haddon's "Curious Incident..." meets Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go". This 13-year-old narrator's best friend is resurrected through cloning technology. This is an adult fiction, with strong crossover appeal for teenagers and publicity campaigns on both fronts. "You see, I'd never really believe he was dead..." Phil still calls for his best friend every day on his way to school, despite Mark's recent death after a long illness. Then one morning, Mark is back, cloned by Laz-R-Us, much to his parents' relief and little sister Lauren's disappointment: "That's not my brother. He's too nice". Phil realises too that Mark isn't the best friend he knew, but it's up to him to teach this new version of Mark the basics of school life: how not to backchat playground bully Chaz Spencer, how not to wear a school tie, and how not to take advice from Kirsty the annoyingly perceptive class do-gooder. And, before long, Mark is his best friend again hanging out behind the art block, playing on his GameBoy, advising him on how to ask out Sadie Goodman. But, these ordinary days are interrupted by a dramatic event that turns Mark's naivety into something else entirely. Just when Mark II Mark-the-clone seems settled as a thorough replacement of the original Mark, we realise that no one's heard the last of that original Mark, or the secret circumstances behind his death...Told with teenage energy by two friends, this is a witty, insightful novel that takes the deftest of approaches to mortality and grief.

text:
At a time when "green" is the color of thoughtful lifestyles, gardening practices are going greener, too. Some gardens awash in the biggest, brightest, newest flowers are sadly lifeless, lacking the buzz of the bees, the fluttering of butterflies and the zip of hummingbirds. To make these creatures welcome, gardeners need to go a little wild themselves, setting aside their visions of gardens groomed and sprayed into submission.
Gardeners need to re-imagine their gardens as an outdoor caf and build safe havens for birds, bees and butterflies. How? By setting the table with nectar and seeds that are on the menus of local wildlife. This spring, plant a patch of wildflowers and watch the garden come alive.
Wildflowers and their dependents — insects and birds — work together in harmony with local climates. Naturally adapted to soil, sun and moisture conditions, wildflowers offer more than simple grace and unaffected charm.
They represent an earth-friendly, attractive alternative, thriving without fertilizers, pesticides and constant irrigation.
In nature, wildflowers (http://www.wild-flower-seed.com/wildflowerseed.php ) mark the seasons with glorious bursts of color. Spring bluebells and columbines might give way to yarrows and rues, which in turn leave the season's last word to coneflowers and asters.
The wildflower patch is typically an exuberant and ever-changing continuous carpet of carefree blossoms. Since the look is more relaxed than that of formal garden beds, wildflowers can beautify areas that are very difficult
While the aim is a casual, unstudied appearance, wildflower gardens do require some planning. One key is choosing a seed mix created for your region, taking into account the hardiness zone, elevation and typical soil, sun and moisture conditions.
Wild-flower-seed.com offers a wide variety of blends for nine areas of the country, from the rainy northeast to the dry southwest. The company also has specialty mixes http://www.wild-flower-seed.com/specialtywildflowerseed.php specifically designed to attract beneficial insects and butterflies — as well as a blend deer find unappealing. Each mix includes 10 to 20 plant species, providing flowers season-long and a mix of annuals and perennials for both quick color and staying power.
Site preparation is important and a little up-front effort can pay big dividends.
Follow these steps:
* Choose a sunny, well-drained location. Most wildflowers want six to eight hours of direct sunlight and few will tolerate "wet feet."
* Remove any sod and till to a depth of just 1 or 2 inches. More will only bring additional weed seeds to the surface.
* Weed control is crucial to get wildflowers off to a good start. Encourage weed growth with regular watering and remove weeds before sowing wildflowers, or use a low-toxicity herbicide.
* Sow seeds according to directions — the maximum amount recommended will produce a dense patch, the minimum a more scattered look.
* For easier sowing, mix seed with dry sand, which is more visible against the soil. Blend well, using a ratio of one part seed to one or two parts sand.
* Good seed-to-soil contact encourages germination. A lawn roller is ideal, but stepping across the bed, compressing soil underfoot, will do the job.
* No fertilizer is necessary, but the seedbed should be kept moist for about four weeks until seeds sprout. Then watering can taper off unless conditions are unusually dry.
Once established, a wildflower garden requires little routine maintenance. A once-a-year mowing to 4 to 6 inches in late fall will keep tree seedlings from intruding and spread the season's crop of seeds.

As of Tuesday, October 9, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Mourning an Albany State University student took on many faces including the recitation of a serious poem and laughable memories of borrowed noodles and pens.
A memorial for Taylor Clayton Terrell, whose body was found Sept. 18 in the Flint River, packed the university's ACAD Auditorium with school staff, students and his Phi Beta Sigma fraternity brothers Tuesday evening.
"He was a young man with great promise and potential. Students, faculty and staff spoke highly of him," said Edgar Berry, vice president for student affairs. "It was clear he was on his way to becoming one of the most accomplished students in mass communications."
While ASU President Everette Freeman recited from "Funeral Blues" a poem by W.H. Auden, he said that while the poem said nothing good can come from loss it wasn't true in the case of ASU students.
"While we hold dear the memory," Freeman said, "we continue to go forth with a future to fulfill. Potential. realized."
Speakers drawn from the student body each said that they wanted Terrell's family to remember the good times.
While many spoke about the smile that seemed perpetually on Terrell's face, fraternity brother Ken Nesbitt said he remembered him as a serious, talented and hard working student.
After the memorial at the auditorium, students lit candles and walked to the other side of the campus. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation continues to investigate the death by drowning.

The Final Inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Gov. Rick Perry has condemned the decision by Boy Scouts of America's national leadership on Thursday to admit openly gay scouts.
The National Council of Boy Scouts of America voted Thursday on a resolution on whether to allow openly gay members.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has given tacit approval to the Boy Scouts' proposal to allow gay youth to join, saying they "appreciate the positive things" included in the plan to end the organization's controversial ban on gay boys.
Violent sexual abuse, rape, and young boys scared into silence are some of the disturbing details outlined in two separate lawsuits set to be filed Wednesday, that take aim at the Boy Scouts of America.

Everyone tells me horror stories about childbirth. Should I ask them to stop?
Since the day I found out I was pregnant, women have been telling me horror stories about childbirth. I've heard things that would make your toes curl. I try to ignore them, but some accounts scare me to the point of tears. This is my first pregnancy and I don't know what to expect from the delivery. Why do people feel the need to share their most awful birth experiences instead of the joyous ones?

All I can say after 3 children is that every birth is so different! You could have the best experience in the world, not matter how bad someone else's was (however, if it was that bad, no one would keep having kids!). My advice - make sure your birthing partner (spouse, etc) knows exactly what you want as far as any comfort measures, etc. With my 1st, I was so vulnerable during labor, and not able to speak up for myself. My husband is used to me being very outspoken and didn't want to meddle - he figured if I wanted something I would demand it! With our second, we sat down ahead of time and I told him EXACTLY what my wishes were and made sure he knew to speak for me! It not only benefited me, but also made him feel a little more sure of what he could do to help!posted 09/12/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
My baby is due in about 4 weeks. I am so nervous. This is my first child and I have heard so many stories (positive and negative) about child birth. The truth is I don't know what to believe. I will just stay prayful and know at the end I will be holding my little blessing.posted 09/12/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Well Deena to start out I want to say congradulations! Right now I am 33 weeks pregnant with my first child and when I first found out that I was pregnant, people did the same thing to me. I went around paranoid everyday that something was going to go wrong. The best advice I can give you came from my own mother. Don't listen to them! I've learned not to and it makes my pregnancy a lot better. When you listen to all the bad stuff you get upset and stress the baby and you don't need that. So when someone tells you something that you think may be true, ask your doctor. Your doctor will tell you the truth and not make up stories because he won't want you to get stressed out. I know how you feel and it will get better! You will learn how to ignore them. Good Luck! If you would like to talk any further or have any questions, I would be happy to chat with you. My e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com 09/12/2005 by dark_angel_235
Dear Deena, Every woman and sometimes the men want to share their harrowing story of labor - myself included. You'll be wanting to tell anyone who will listen after you've gone through it. It's a right of passage that is both painful and delightful. You'll understand why you're hearing these scary stories after you've given birth, I promise. In the meantime, try to focus on the fact that your labor will be what it is no matter what stories you've heard. Try to be in the moment with each phase of labor and remember that by the time you leave the hospital, it will be over and you will have your baby to show for it. Also try to remember that your health care providers will go a long way for a cooperative and helpful patient so try not to yell at them, swear, or be disagreeable - you'll have a much better experience overall.posted 09/12/2005 by kasea-baby
Those women are being insensitive!!! Labor is not easy for most, but you can make it better. Educate yourself on birthing techniques and different types of pain relief for labor and you will feel much more in control. Plus, keep your sense of humor... I heard something funny once that you should keep in mind-- If labor was easy, they'd call it management.posted 09/12/2005 by Allieliz
The best advise I got when I was pregnant with my first child was to take everything with a grain of salt. I would listen to the people talk just to be polite, but then I'd walk away thinking to myself, every pregnancy is different. What is terrible for one person might not be for you and vise-versa. I say just ignore them!posted 09/12/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Pregnancy and birth are incredible times of growth. I had my first son at home and am having my daughter at home in a couple weeks. I can't describe the joy I felt, knowing that everyone around me was close to me, and someone who could be trusted. I think the day my son was born (including, yes, the pains of labor) was one of the best days of my life and I have wonderful memories of it. The key word is _surrender_. Surrender to your labor, don't try to fight it, and surround yourself with people (including your midwife, preferably, or doctor) who have only positive thigns to say about birthing. It _can_ be wonderful!!!posted 09/12/2005 by vespersongs
Every women is different, don't listen to what every one is telling you. To you it may be a joyful experience. It was for me.posted 09/12/2005 by shorty2168
I am 29 weeks along with our first baby and have had this same problem. My solution is attending a childbirth preparation course at the hospital where I will deliver. We are learning what to expect from a labor and delivery RN which is great. It is also helping prepare my husband for all of the excitement to come.posted 09/12/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Ladies, just be sensitive out there. I have also experienced women who feel it's OK and appropriate to tell me (25 weeks) what to do and how. Remember how nervous you were the first time and practice the "don't ask don't tell" policy. If I don't ASK you about your birth story or other pregnancy questions, then don't tell me about it. If I do ask, then have the sensitivity to relay your experiences in a way that you'd like someone to tell you if the shoe were on the other foot. Lastly, remember that if birth were as horrific as some women portray it to be, then why would women voluntarily have multiple children? You can do it, and it will be fine!posted 09/12/2005 by a BabyCenter Member

They may be old, but they've still got spark. The 9th annual DL Vintage Rally and Swap Meet is right around the corner, and that has classic snowmobile lovers all revved up. "What's great about this is, since it's located on Detroit Lake, the lack of snow doesn't matter, we can still ride," said Wayne Schlauderaff, co-chair of the vintage rally and one of Ultra's board members. The event, set for Saturday, Feb. 18, begins at 8 a.m.
Playing King of the Hill is considerably less dangerous this year, as snow piles are rarely over a couple of feet high. That's the upside. The downside is that grown up play has also been hampered, and that spells trouble for area businesses that rely on winter recreation such as snowmobiling. "We're down a good 25 percent in revenue this winter," said Rayna Tucker, who owns the Ice Cracking Lodge with her husband Steve. On snowier winters, the Ice Cracking is packed with hundreds of snowmobilers on any given Saturday. This year, crickets. "A lot of the businesses around here are h
They already have their man for president (Barack Obama). They already have their woman for senate (Amy Klobuchar). But roughly 80 Democrats in Becker County still showed up to the caucus Tuesday night at M State to do three things: submit resolutions for platform consideration, vote for delegates for the county convention and rally the DFL troops. Kicking off the evening's event was State Rep.
Detroit Lakes native Brett Stall always had a feeling he'd be a professional bull rider one day. "I don't know, it's just something I've always loved since I was a little kid," said Stall, "I just knew I'd be a world champion bull rider." Those dreams are now coming true for the 2008 Detroit Lakes graduate, as he just won the Black Hills Xtreme Bulls Tour in Rapid City last weekend, which now ranks him No. 2 in the world. The 22-year-old, who went professional in 2009, won both the long round with 90.5 points and the Wrangler Champion round at 89 points. "It was crazy," said Stall.
There can oftentimes be a dreary stigma attached to nursing homes. "Our society as a whole thinks that nursing homes are just a place where people go to die," said Emmanuel Community Chaplain and Spiritual Care Coordinator Vicki Marthaler.
Although they dream of it, it isn't often that little girls truly get to be the belle of the ball -- a princess who is the apple of her daddy's eye. That's why the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center is once again gearing up for its sixth annual Daddy's Little Sweetheart Dance, set for Friday, Feb.
Long gone are the sounds of New Years horns and the little inner voice that says "This year, I'm whipping myself into shape." That's why folks at the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center choose now to lend those little, lost voices a big blow horn, as they prepare for the 23rd annual Community Fitness Challenge, now known as Resolution Restart. "After New Years, you get that first month where you're really into it and want to get in shape, but then it gets busy and you start to slow down," said DLCCC Program Coordinator Matt Kensinger.
Having trouble falling asleep at night? Forget counting sheep; it might be more productive to count the number of known sleep disorders. "There are 84 of them," says Susan Gunwall, director of operations at Whitney Sleep Diagnostics and Consultants and Whitney Sleep Therapeutics. Known to most around Detroit Lakes as "The Sleep Center," Whitney's has been helping people from all around the region wake up simply by helping them fall asleep. "We complete sleep studies for individuals who have identified issues sleeping, are tired during the day, maybe they snore and it's disruptive to f

Gilsdorf was selected to create a mural for the Sanford Heart Hospital in Sioux Falls, S.D., slated to open next month.

In a way, it's part campaign-style politics and part "American Idol," said political strategist Simon Rosenberg.Here's a link to the White House website. Log on and ask a question or vote on a question for the President to answer. The internet press conference begins in 10 minutes.
"Barack Obama is going to reinvent the presidency the way he reinvented electoral politics," said Rosenberg, president of the New Democrat Network and a veteran of presidential campaigns. "He is allowing everyday people to participate in a way that would've been impossible in the old media world."
Obama's campaign allowed supporters to organize themselves to go door-to-door and raise money. Because of that, many felt an ownership of the campaign and devoted countless hours to giving Obama the Democratic Party's nomination and then the presidency.
Obama's aides are taking that step forward, incorporating tools that let visitors to the White House Web site pick the questions Obama will answer, turning the president's Thursday event into a democratic press conference.
"Average people get to shape the outcome, like 'American Idol,'" Rosenberg said. "This is not a couch-potato age. Average people are expecting to be part of the process."

Obama and Politics on the Web
The Tulsa World has published a story about how "Obama turns to Web to bypass news media." This is a development that is sure to infuriate the Rupert Murdochs of the world who have been manipulating and monopolizing the way that issues are framed for public consumption. Here's a quote from the Tulsa World:

Backup Tape Expire issue
While Backup Tape has been Expired, it manually clean by our side. Same issue has occured after upgrade the version from 7.0 to 7.0.1. Before that this activity is running automatically.
So need the help on it.

after upgrading a Windows master server to 7.0.1. Image Cleanup completes (Status 0) but is not expiring images.
Thanks & Regard
Honey Jack
If your issue has been solved, please use the "Mark as Solution" for the valid thread.
honet_jack has found some good links, but I think these are mainly disk based, you are talking about tape.
Please try the following.
command list (DO NOT RUN THESE YET)
1. bpmedialist -m <media id of tape>
2. bptm -delete_all_expired
3. bpexpdate -deassignempty
On a tape that you say should be expired, but is not run command 1.
Do you see it saying the tape is EXPIRED
If not, then it is not the issue I am thinking of. If it does, then continue.
Run command 2.
Run command 1. Does it now show that the tape is not in the database.
If the tape is still showing, and still shows as EXPIRED, run command 3.
Now run command 1. again, is the tape now showing as not available in the database.
Basically, I think the issue is this.
When all images on a tape expire, the tape will expire, but ONLY when bptm -delete_all_expired runs, which is every 10 minutes. You do not see this job run, it is in the background.
At some versions, there is an issue, the bptm command runs, but does not work.
When the NBU image cleanup runs, (every 12 hrs by default) it runs multiple commmads, one is bpexpdate -deassignempty. This does work and will expire the tapes.
I think there is an EEB for this, but most people just run bpexpdate -deassignempty from cron or windows scheduler.
If people have many tapes, and lots spare, although they may have the issue, they never see it, as they do not notice a few tapes not expiring quite on time. It is only reported by people with a few tapes usually, as it is easier to spot in a small environment.
What about steps in this post do you not understand?

Sorry but confirmed from Team last time due to patch management activity mention link patch not installed but after 3-4 days of installation of this patch tape is getting clean auto.

Ferry Terminal to Butterworth, Penang
13 Reviews
13 Reviews
This transportation is used for people who travel to Butterworth and vice versa ..mainly for transportation rather than sightseeing purpose. But if you wanna take a short trip over to the mainland ..and look at the straits ...go ahead becoz the journey is very short and fare is very cheap !
When crossing from the mainland to Penang you pay RM 0.60 cents and this covers the return journey. If crossing from Penang one way, the trip is free.
The trip across the 3km channel takes about 20 minutes. There's great photo opportunities both of the landscape and the birdlife that make the most of the free ride and the tourists handing out food.
On a real humid day, this is one very inexpensive way of beating the heat as the cooler sea breezes flow through the relatively open ferry.
Some of the ferries are only for cars but you wont have to wait long for another one. They run 24 hours a day.
A stormy day makes for an interesting ride as the salt laden air turns your sunglasses frosty with crystals. Also enjoy the vision of ferries travelling almost sideways to cross the channel with the occasional very strong tidal flows.
There are toilets on board but you'd really be better off waiting until you got off - unless you've got a strong stomach and no sense of smell.
I took the bus to Butterworth from KL...it was a relatively pleasant ride, about 4 hours. When I bought the ticket, I heard that the ferry from Butterworth to Penang ran 24-hrs a day. (My Rough Guide said the same thing.) Well, it DOES NOT.
The ferry stops running around midnight. Make sure you time your arrival before that time, or you'll be stuck for the night in Butterworth, or have an expensive taxi ride across the bridge to Penang.
The ferry is inexpensive, under 1USD, I believe, and very pleasant.
It is walking distant between the Railway Station to the Ferry Terminal (Pangkalan Sultan Abdul Halim). You pay a small fee (around RM2.40) to ride a ferry to reach Georgetown or Penang Island at Pangkalan Tun Uda. The city buses (Rapid Penang) are stationed next to Pengkalan Tun Uda.
I walked from the Railway Station to the Ferry station in the early morning, it was still dark. Many locals including working adults and students are traveling to Georgetown by the ferry. Well, it makes sense that many locals are living in the mainland due to lower cost of living especially housing. There are more opportunities in term of good schools and jobs in Georgetown. I also took the ferry from Georgetown to Butterworth to catch a long distant bus back to KL. The long distant bus station is just next to the Ferry Terminal.
The ferry ride is very classic and enjoyable. It wasn't crowded on a normal day. It has a good views of the Penang Bridge and the city skylines.
It is worth trying to take the ferry between the mainland and the island. It costs very little to have a memorable experience.
I so happy i bought a new car name Nissan Almera,though is cheap,but can save petrol.Just finished sport trip,suddenly i drove my car into Ferry station without notice them,my friends all very surprise why i do that,I just told them i'm also don't know why,and they just laugh.Ferry can take human and car,so i just drove in Ferry going to Penang Mainland to have ''Rojak''.From Island to Mainland we don't need to pay any fee,over side we need to paid RM7.70.
Bicycle RM1.40
Motorcycle (inclusive of pillion rider) RM2.00
Motorcar (including station wagon, four-wheel drive,
three-wheel commercial vehicle, motorcycle with side car) RM7.70
Janet came with me as I departed Georgetown to catch my train to Bangkok.....
You can see the long bridge behind her.
The Ferry between Georgetown (Penang) and Butterworth is free, and runs frequently.
If you are from Butterworth to Penang, you have to pay a fare, other way, you are travelling free as the Penang Port Authority only impose a one way fare to all ferry users.
The ferry carry light vehicles on bottom deck and padestrian on top level. The bottom deck are share by 4 wheels car and two wheels motorcycle. The cars onboard the ferry occupied the front part follow by the motorcycles. After the boarding, the captain sound the siren before departure.
If the weather is good, you can enjoy the Penang Island view by looking backward.
The ferry has 2 toilets for male and female and one mini counter selling snacks and drinks on the upper level. You may climb the staircase, but take good care of your safety as it is sometimes sliply during rainy day.
Some passengers choose to move closer to the date to enjoy the sea wind and better view of the scenery.
Soon, after about 20 minutes, we have arrive Butterworth Terminal.
eventhough the is a bridge to connect the main land to penang, we decide to take a ferry trip to cross to the island.avoid weekend or during 8-9am or 5-6 pm as people coming and going back from the main land to the island from work .
For those of you who are unfortunately enough to NOT able to book the direct ferry to Langkawi. There are two possible land routes from Penang to Langkawi .
1.FERRY Penang to Butterworth (free)30min>
2.COACH/TRAIN Butterworth TO Alor Setar (Train: RM 8 or 11) 2hr>
3.TAXI Alor Setar to Kuala Kedah (????)20min>
4. FERRY Kuala Kedah to Langkawi (RM15)1h15min>
1.FERRY Penang to Butterworth (free)
2.COACH Butterworth TO Kangar (RM 10.40)2h10min>
3. TAXI Kangar to Kuala Perlis (c. RM12)15min>
4. FERRY Kuala Perlis to Langkawi (RM15) 50min>
If you are driving and feel that the toll fee is a little expensive, then you can try taking the ferries. Ferries service transport cars and people to and fro from the main land to the island everyday.
The cost of taking ferries is about RM7. But the waiting time may be longer than taking the bridge, but once you are in the ferries, you can step out f the car and enjoy the breeze.
I do not know since when the passengers' deck on a ferry has been fenced to a smaller area in the middle of the upper deck. It may because the passengers has become less compare to last time. On this trip to Butterworth, they are less motor vehicles crossing the Strait of Malacca, other wise, some cars are to be parked surrounding the passengers; area.
From Butterworth, it is necessary to take the ferry to Penang Island. The ferry service is available around the clock for both passengers and vehicles. Tickets are purchased at the Butterworth terminal.
The ferry would be a nice experience if you come from Butterworth, Seberang Perai.
Or you could take the ferry for a trip to Butterworth.
