A few nights ago while watching the perils and contradictions of Mitt Romney I was reminded of Jon Huntsman, who resigned his post at the Chinese Embassy with the intention to challenge President Obama in the upcoming election.
It looked like Obama hoped to keep him out of politics, knowing full well the caliber of Huntsman, and obviously his return created a concern in the White House.
He was not only a very astute politician but also carried the necessary pedigree for the office of the presidency, a moderate bipartisan Republican who would bring a much needed civility to the nation.
And here we are. A few months ago, we witnessed a contest of unexpected biblical characters with a couple of jokers thrown in who, with the exception of Ron Paul (who is another story), viciously debated each other and battled who was the supreme right wing conservative.
Finally, after spending more than $4 billion, enriching millions in our political enterprise, we are ready for a contest that will expose the abyss our country has fallen into.

Smartphone users are at risk of maxing out their data plans if they don't change this default setting in the Facebook (FB, Tech30) app, which otherwise will automatically start streaming videos in the News Feed window.
The issue was flagged by consumer finance site MoneySavingExpert.com, which said it had "seen many complaints from people who have been stung with data bills after exceeding their monthly allowance and who believe it to be because of Facebook autoplaying videos."
Fortunately, the fix is an easy one. If you're an iPhone user, tap your "Settings" button and then scroll down and click "Facebook." From there, click "Settings," "Auto-play," and then choose "Wi-Fi only" or "Off."
On Android, bring up the Facebook app and go to your account settings. Click "App Settings," and then choose 'Auto-play only on Wi-Fi' or 'Off.'

Community Housing Resource Center
What: A nonprofit organization that offers mortgage default counseling to help prevent foreclosure, along with homeowner and credit education classes.
Where: 103 E. 29th St., Vancouver, 98663.
Information: 360-690-4496 or Community Housing Resource Center
Clark County foreclosures rose 65 percent in May above the same month last year, and also inched slightly higher than April's rates, according to a report issued Wednesday.
At least one expert explained the year-over-year uptick as part of a damburst of foreclosures that were tied up last year by negotiations for a $25 billion settlement between 49 state attorneys general and and the nation's five largest mortgage servicers. According to California-based RealtyTrac real estate data firm, Clark County's May foreclosures rose by nearly 100 homes when compared with May of 2012,
"There was a bottleneck in 2012, while the lenders were figuring out their legal footing," said Neal McKeever, program manager at the Community Housing Resource Center in Vancouver, one of the area's only cen
ters that offers counseling certified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
With the sixth-highest foreclosure rate in the state, Clark County's 249 households in foreclosure reflect the end of settlement negotiations and clear rules going forward, McKeever said.
That meant 167 Clark County households received a Notice of Trustee's Sale in May, according to RealtyTrac. The notices inform the home's mortgage borrowers that their house will be sold at a trustee's auction.
"They usually know it's coming," McKeever said. He added that homeowners have up to 120 days after receiving the notice to work out a settlement with their lender.
"What they can do is contact an attorney or a HUD-certified counseling center like ours to see if there's still a chance to save the house and avoid foreclosure," he said. The HUD-certified counseling is a mandatory part of the process.

PR shoes
Lyric Meaning
This is a reference to PR shoes — Puerto Rican shoes — he was wearing what was popular in the height of Harlem for a smack dealer circa 1968. "P.R. shoes" are the type of zapatos associated with hip uptown Puerto Ricans at that time: shiny leather with pointed toe
Lou Reed noted in his book of collected lyrics "Between Thought And Expression" that what's meant here is "Puerto Rican Fence Climbers". Which makes sense for a man who may have to make a swift getaway at any time, the ability to climb fences on the run is extremely necessary.

My kitty loves this tower very sturdy. In fact once my friend saw it she ordered same one next day for her babies - great productRead More
Perfect, with a small footprint.
This replaces the identical model that was 7 years old. I did not have high hopes for it when it was originally purchased, but it has lasted through all this time, with little wear. Only reason to replace the old one was that the sisal cord wrap on one of the columns was coming loose and was very worn. We had shifted them around over the years, but finally had to but a replacement. Well made...hope this one can last at least 7 years this time!Read More
Nice cat tree
I got this one because I have an older cat who probably can't just leap up to a 3' or higher platform. He uses the scratching post on the front, and then he sometimes sleeps on the top part. He's a big cat, but he curls up there comfortably.Read More

I searched hi and low for an affordable cat tree that didn't cost a fortune. This tree is just what my Lola needed and she just love hanging out on it. I've had this tree a while and it still looks just fab.Read More
Awesome product
I got this for our 3 year old baby, cheetahbear.. He sheds on furniture and scratches it up so we really needed an alternative that he would dig. he loves this thing. he uses the scratching posts every day.. and stopped using our couch. He sleeps in the sturdy condo (he loves the little house) and played a lot with the toys.. (though he's already ripped off both toys). The fleece material is perfect for him, too. But really this cat hates everything so that's a huge accomplishment. If you're contemplating getting it- you should! it's real tall, real sturdy and easy to assemble. ****I only have one warning: this box is seriously heavy. make sure you have muscles or an obedient boyfriend around if you need to lug it up stairs.Read More
Great Purchase
We purchased this cat tree based on the many excellent reviews on Overstock and, like others, have been extremely satsified with it. Two of our biggest concerns in getting a cat tree were: 1) would our cats actually use it and 2) how would we get it home from the store, not having a van or truck. Well our 2 of our 3 cats love it - they are on it every day. Plus we were happy that Overstock made shipping so affordable. We found the cat tree easy to put together and it seems more sturdy than the ones we see in the big box pet stores- sturdy enough for our big guy who is about 15 lbs. In fact, we voluteer with one of the pet charities at a big box pet store and we always advise adopters to get this cat condo instead.Read More
All the reasons to buy this cat tree
We have a large cat, a very large cat. Not a fat cat, mind, but just of a size that would make Godzilla think twice before attacking our town. Anyway, the cat tree works very well for his size and weight. He can rest on any one of the towers and there is no danger of the cat tree toppling or even wiggling to any terrible degree. As soon as we removed the cat tree from its box our cat immediately made a break for the cat cupboard where he now has spend most of his time. It is also important to note that the cat tree came in an exceptionally large box. Our cat loves to play in boxes, yet he has ignored the box entirely in favor of this cat tree. One final note is a shout out to Overstock.com for their exceptional customer service. We were out of town when UPS attempted to deliver the cat tree, after calling Overstock we spoke to a human customer service agent who reordered the cat tree and sent it to us without charging us to reship the package. May your cat enjoy this cat tree as much as our's has.Read More
Practical and Good Quality
Our 9 month old kitty loves this tree! We were worried he would not fit in the cubby, but he loves sleeping in it. He uses all levels of the tree. It is really good quality and easy to put together. It seems pretty sturdy, especially since we only have one cat. The shipping was really fast as well. The only disappointing thing was that we did not realize that the toy on the tree is for display only. You need to buy the toy separately. We put up the display toy anyway and he destroyed it instantly. Now that we know he will actually use it, we are looking for alternative toys to put up. Besides that, this is a great cat tree and I definitely recommend it.Read More
Kittie Condo - easy to assemble
My three cats are so excited to have upgraded from there starter, one-level, one-occupant-at-a-time seat to this fabulous Kitty Condo. . . that sits on top of a trunk in the livingroom. . . making it a Penthouse with a great view. I found the assembly to be extremely easy with clear instructions. The quality is sturdy enough to handle a 20+ lb cat. Overall, I love that my cats are happy.Read More
Questions & Answers
I already have two of these exact cat trees and they are the perfect size for our home....they get so much use I am just replacing one
The color is not vivid. The height is higher than I wanted, but I could not find any suitable item than this at an affordable price.
Are replacement posts available ? My cats have really used the scratch post feature and 2 posts are very ragged looking.
Go to ********** and purchase a cedar fence post (4 inch square). Cut it to fit and the replace the posts. The cats go nuts over the cedar posts. Of course, you will have to replace them after the cats shred the cedar, but it does last longer than the sisal rope covering. OR you can buy a spool of sisal rope at a craft store and rewrap the posts. I've done both, but like the cedar posts better.
I've ordered replacement parts directly from Armarkat. You can also order pieces to alter the tree's design - I put a platform with an edge in place of the flat platform (so cats don't fall off when sleeping). Just be sure not to overbuild the tree if you start customizing - the base is only designed for so much stability
How much does this weigh?
Hello, akatsares. This ships at 41 pounds. Thank you for shopping with us!
Why does it show in beige and color it says green.
it's actually beige, no green anywhere. Must be a typo.
Hello jack1962, I'm sorry for the confusion. This is beige. Have a great day!
I'd like to know the height of each level. I want to buy a cat tree with at least two levels at 36" or higher, so more than one of my three kitties can see out the window. Thanks!
Overall dimensions: 24 inches long x 22 inches wide x 53 inches high Perch dimensions: 14 inches x 12 inches Base dimensions: 22 inches x 20 inches House dimensions: 14 inches long x 12 inches wide x 12 inches high
Thanks, but that doesn't answer my question. I already read those specs in the product details. This doesn't indicate the height of each perch.
So obviously the top perch would match the overall height of 53 inches high I will contact the manufacturer for the lower perch and respond as soon as we have an answer from them.
Thank you. It would be ideal to know the height of the first platform (where the entry to condo is), the height at the top of the condo, and the height of the perch below the top 53" perch. Like I said, I have 3 kittens and I want to be sure at least 2 (ideally all 3) will be able to see out of my 36" high window.
Understood the request has been sent. Thank you for your patience we will respond as soon as possible.
The approx. height is 38 inches for the 2nd perch. The height of the house for both entrances is 9 inches, the width is 7.5 inches. The size of perch (where the ball is) is 12x14 inches. Thanks
House floor/landing level: 20 1/2"; House roof level: 32"; Lower Perch level: 40"; Upper perch level: 52" with 1/2" rim.
The top of the house is 32
what is the material on the posts.. is it sisal?
Yes, the material is sisal.
Yes--looks like about 3/16" dia. Very tightly wound and secure.
yes, sisal on the posts
does the top platform have a lip around it?
Yes, the top platform would have a lip on it.

eVGA's new H55 and H57 powered motherboards show up
With Intel's new 32nm Clarkdale officially unveiled yesterday, details of supporting H55 and H57 motherboards from various manufacturers are beginning to surface. Yesterday we took a look at one of ASRock's initial H55 models in the H55M Pro which impressed us.
Details have surfaced in relation to two new offerings from eVGA, one using the H55 chipset and the other, H57.
As you can see from the pictures above, both are full ATX sized, each with a pair of x16 slots for CrossFire(X) use. Other features include eight SATA ports, Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire, 7.1 audio and in conjunction with the in-built IGP on the CPUs themselves, there's a D-Sub, DVI and HDMI output on the rear I/O.
Shouldn't be long before eVGA make more noise about the new boards including pricing and availability.

Asus H57 based Motherboards show up in the Taipei Computer Market
In what seems to be a flashback to the Lynnfield/P55 launch we now hear that H57 boards from at least one manufacturer are showing up for sale in the Taipei computer market. The culprit this time is the Asus P7H57D-V EVO, the problem? Well the launch for this and the CPUs that support it are not until sometime in January.
What does this mean for Clarkdale and the new H5x chipsets? Well it can go one of two ways really. The first is the worse of the two scenarios as we start seeing Clarkdale Core i5 CPUs hitting the shelves in the same stores in Taipei. At the time of this writing that is not the case. The other is one where the boards hang out and are picked up by those wanting to get an early start on Clarkdale Core i5 and i3 CPUs.
But no matter which way it goes the Asus H57 board is a little higher priced that it should be. It runs for about $240. This is more than many P55 boards will run, but I suppose they are banking on the IGP on the CPU to make the cost seem more logical. The issue still remains that we do not yet know if the IGP on Clarkdale is worth the extra money or not.
For that we will have to wait for the official Clarkdale launch, or for some brave and enterprising website to push out a review early to get some extra page hits before the end of the year.

Rumour has it DFI will exit mobo market
Word's now entered the rumour mill that DFI are going the way of Abit, looking to pull out of the motherboard market, which would be a real shame for the niche of avid DFI LANParty fans that look to no other when it's time to purchase their next enthusiast oriented motherbord.
If website SemiAccurate are onto anything solid with regard to this story, we could see DFI make an official announcement as early as next month saying their goodbyes as they exit the mobo market and put sole focus into the 'industrial PC business'.
As it stands now, Newegg only have stock of two DFI motherboard models across their inventory of 21 Intel boards and five AMD boards, so signs sure aren't looking good.

ECS intro NM10 Express / Atom D510 mini-ITX motherboard

The TIGT-I's features include integrated GMA3150 DX9 graphics, two DDR2-800 memory slots, one PCIe x1 slot, Gigabit Ethernet, HD audio, 2 x SATA 3Gbps, 1 x PATA and 4 x USB 2.0.

GIGABYTE readies up three H55 Express motherboards
Intel's value positioned desktop chipset for LGA-1156, H55 Express is set for launch in Q1 2010 and a trio of H55 boards from GIGABYTE have been spotted online. These include the GA-H55M-S2H and GA-H55M-UD2H, both of which are mATX based, and also a full sized ATX board, the GA-H55-UD3H.
Where the GA-H55M-S2H has only two DDR3 DIMM slots, no eSATA or FireWire and the lack of Ultra Durable 3 (which includes all solid-state capacitors and a 2 oz copper PCB), the GA-H55M-UD2H has four DDR3 slots and makes welcome these other additional features.
Both of these mATX boards use a 7-phase CPU VRM, have two PCI-E x16 slots (with the lower electrically at x4), two legacy PCI, six SATA 3 Gbps ports (the sixth on the GA-H55M-UD2H is routed to an eSATA port on the rear I/O), and DVI / D-Sub / HDMI connections.
As for the full sized ATX model, the GA-H55-UD3H. Running the same CPU VRM setup as the H55M boards, this board is equipped with equivilent features to the GA-H55M-UD2H, only its larger physical size gives it seven expansion slots; two x PCI-E x16 (x16 / x4), one x PCI-E x1, and four legacy PCI slots. This board does not have eSATA, however, with all six ports internally on the board like the GA-H55M-S2H.

ASUS to spin off its motherboard and GPU lineups under 'Pegatron' brand
An interesting bit of news has surfaced in regards to ASUS' plans for its motherboard and GPu products in July of next year. ASUS feels it's a more beneficial business decision in the long term to spin off these segments to subsidiary mob, Pegatron.
The split is motivated with intent to bolden its ASUS branding and continue stronger competition against the likes of big guns HP and Dell whilst still collecting ODM and motherboard orders from those companies.
Once Pegatron have full grasp, it's expected that this will in turn push ASRock up from the entry-level position and well into the mainstream (and possibly high-end) market segment.
I'm sure a lot of people are a bit sour at the idea of seeing the name "ASUS" dissapear off motherboard boxes in replacement for Pegatron, but at the end of the day it shouldn't really affect the top notch quality and range of which ASUS' has proven itself to be capable of for a long time running.

Early peek at MSI's RD890 based motherboard
AMD have a successor to its current Dragon platform due out in Q2 of next year; this known as Leo. Two of the three individual components that make up this platform are the Thuban six-core processor and RD890 chipset (using the SB850 Southbridge).
A picture of MSI's first RD890 offering has already surfaced on the web which it calls the 890FX-GD70. What we can learn from the picture is that it looks to sport MSI's 5-phase DrMOS, four DDR3 slots, a very extensive set of PCIe x16 slots (six!), six SATA 6Gbps ports along with a seventh blue one which may or may not also be SATA 6Gbps.
Further to that are buttons directly on the board for Power, Reset and OC'ing on the fly as well as Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1 audio, eSATA, FireWire and two USB 3.0 ports controlled by NEC's chip.

eVGA release cheap micro-ATX P55 motherboard
If you're seeking P55 on a budget, eVGA has a new model out dubbed the P55 V which shaves a good amount of dollars off by being micro ATX based and carrying less in the way of overclocking specific goodies.
The P55 V is only around the $120 mark but still has all that's required for a decent P55 rig. Along with four DDR3-1333+ memory slots, two PCie x16 slots for SLI/Crossfire and five SATA 3.0Gbps ports, features also include eSATA, Gigabit Ethernet and 7.1 audio.
For further details and images of the board, check out the official product page here.

MSI and SteelSeries team up for Big Bang-Trinergy mainboard
I am really looking forward to the MSI Big Bang mainboard hitting the market. I have a couple older video cards lying around here and with that board, I can actually use them. The board allows the user to run ATI and NVIDIA cards at the same time.
MSI and SteelSeries have announced special edition of the board called the Big Bang-Trinergy. The board has the same features as the normal Big Bang with a few interesting additions. The Trinergy version will have a 8-year limited warranty.
The board will also ship with a special messenger bag for carrying your gear. Speaking of gear, the board will also come with a SteelSeries KINZE mouse and the SteelSeries QCK+ mouse pad. Exactly how much the board will cost is unknown.

ASRock H55 Express boards on show
A little birdy has kindly passed on some nice clean images of some various upcoming ASRock H55 Express based motherboards which are due for launch early next year when CES kicks off.
As you can see below, there's both mATX and full sized ATX motherboards being prepared by the company, and by the looks of it they're all in final form here.
The H55DE3 is a full-sized ATX variant with dual PCI-E x16 slots, a couple x1 slots and a couple legacy PCI slots.
The H55M is an mATX model with dual x16 slots, a x1 slot and a legacy PCI slot. The overall layout is quite well thought out here with plenty of room around the CPU socket.
The H55M Pro appears to be near identical at first glance, but sports a couple extra SATA ports, FireWire connectivity, what looks to be a superior power management system and likely a couple other small adjustments and additional features.
Of course, all of ASRock's signature functions will also be included on these upcoming boards such as OC DNA, OC Tuner, Intelligent Energy Saver, Instant Boot, Instant Flash and Good Night LED.
We'll be allowed to talk a lot more about these H55 Express based boards as launch nears.

I was just musing on the work our Volunteer of the Year, Barbara Mitchell, has done over more than 20 years with girls. Not her own children, but girls in public housing that became her girls. She provides opportunities for girls they might not have otherwise had.
One of the extraordinary thing about Barbara Mitchell is that she takes those girls everywhere. I attend events all over the council and you can often see her with a pack of girls on any given Saturday morning. It is always a surprise and delight to see her smiling, happy to be there with the girls she brought. She provides girls a role model, someone other than their parent to listen to them, and care about them. What a wonderful gift to give others!
Each of you is one of our volunteers of the year. Sometimes you think no one else is experiencing the parent who believes the troop meeting is uncompensated babysitting, or not paying is acceptable. Then there's the girl who always tests the limits when you have repeatedly tried to politely and quietly worked to deal with the behavior. It is always amazing when we discuss volunteers to discover how their issues are similar. It is someone testing your goodwill and desire to have a wonderful experience for everyone. We realize there are frequent, behind the scenes conversations and troubles that test your mettle; when your desire is to work with girls, not negotiate parental issues.
Building leaders can be a messy endeavor. We understand that sometimes it is the glitter all over your kitchen, the stain on the carpet, or the mess made that wasn't adequately cleaned up when requested. But every one of you does this because you care about the girls with whom you work. Each of them comes with unlimited potential, and you work to shape and form those girls into the confidence, courageous strong leaders who will lead us into the future.
On those days when you feel like this is a burden, remember that some day these girls will become women who will change the world. You are changing their world every time you work with them. They will change those that go behind. Thank you, for your time and investment in helping develop girls who will change the world.

A man of few words, Mark Hunt let his fists do the talking today inside of the legendary Saitama Super Arena.
The New Zealander caught his French adversary early with a precise left hand on the jaw that left the Team Wolfslair fighter wobbled. Hunt maintained his composure refusing to follow his opponent. When the two exchanged again Hunt got the better of Kongo stunning him with a monster right and finishing him with consecutive blows to the skull.
That's 3 in a row for Hunt now after dropping 6 straight. Do we dare call a man who entered the UFC with a 5-6 record one of the top 20 Heavyweights in the world? My answer is yes.
Final Result: • Mark Hunt (8-7) defeats Cheick Kongo (17-7-2) via TKO (punches) (Round 1, 2:11)

MIAMI — The compromise for Chris Bosh is that he will play the role of center without looking like one.
An All-Star power forward at midseason in 2011-12, Bosh eventually morphed into the Miami Heat's championship center by season's end.
But he said Friday that while he has come to accept the role he avoided earlier in his career, he has no plans to bulk up.
That something neither Bosh nor coach Erik Spoelstra want.
"I've talked with Spo and I asked what him what he wants from me and he said to play fast," Bosh, listed at 6 feet 11, 235-pounds, said at media day, with training camp opening Saturday at AmericanAirlines Arena. "You can't play fast and add pounds. It just doesn't make any sense for me."
During the first seven seasons of his career with the Toronto Raptors and even during his first season with the Heat in 2010-11, Bosh shunned being cast as a center.
"Obviously, the coaching staff, they see something to our advantage with me at that position," he said. "So I went ahead, embraced it and we won a championship."
He paused, smiled, and continued, "So I really messed myself over a little bit in that regard. But I made my peace with it."
Cautious approach
Ray Allen, the Heat's prime free-agent acquisition, said even with offseason ankle surgery he still enters training camp with soreness.

Aryan is an English word derived from the Sanskrit "Ārya" meaning "noble" or "honorable". The Avestan cognate is "Airya" and the Old Persian equivalent is "Ariya". It is widely held to have been used as an ethnic self-designation of the Proto-Indo-Iranians Since in the 19th century, the Indo-Iranians were the most ancient known speakers of Indo-European languages, the word Aryan was adopted to refer not only to the Indo-Iranian people, but also to Indo-European speakers as a whole.
In Europe, the concept of an Aryan race became influential in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as linguists and ethnologists argued that speakers of these Indo-European languages constitute a distinctive race, descended from an ancient people, who were referred to as the "primitive Aryans", but are now known as Proto-Indo-Europeans.
In linguistics, Aryan is most often used in the context of the sub-branch of Indo-Iranian languages referred to as Indo-Aryan languages.
The adjective *aryo- was suggested as ascending to Proto-Indo-European times as the self-designation of the speakers of the Proto-Indo-European language itself. It was suggested that other words such as Éire, the Irish name of Ireland, and Ehre (German for "honour") were related to it, but these are now widely regarded as untenable, and while is certainly a well-formed PIE adjective, there is no evidence that it was used as an ethnic self-designation outside the Indo-Iranian branch. In the 1850s Max Müller theorized that the word originated as a denotation of farming populations, since he thought it likely that it was related to the root , meaning "to plow"; thus Aryans would be those who plow. Other 19th century writers, such as Charles Morris, repeated this idea, linking the expansion of PIE speakers to the spread of agriculturalists. Most linguists now consider to be unrelated.
The Proto-Iranian form *Aryāna- appears as Æryānam Väejāh "expanse of the Aryans" in Avestan, in Middle Persian as Ērān, and in Modern Persian as Īrān. Similarly, Northern India was referred to by the tatpurusha Aryavarta "Arya-abode" in ancient times.
The Sanskrit lexicon Amarakosha (c. AD 450) defines Arya as "being of a noble family", "having gentle or refined behavior and demeanor", "being well-born and respectable", and "being virtuous, honourable, or righteous". In Hinduism, the religiously initiated Brahmin, Kshatriya and Vaishyas were arya, a title of honor and respect given to certain people for noble behaviour. This word is used by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Zoroastrians to mean noble or spiritual., for example, Four Noble Truths (Pali: Cattāri ariyasaccāni, Sanskrit: Catvāri āryasatyāni), and Noble Eightfold Path (Pāli: ; Sanskrit: ).
Use of "Aryan" for "Indo-European" in academia was obsolete by the 1910s: B. W. Leist in 1888 still titles Alt-Arisches Jus Gentium ("Old Aryan [meaning Indo-European, not Indo-Iranian] Ius Gentium"). P. v. Bradke in 1890 titles Methode und Ergebnisse der arischen (indogermanischen) Altterthumswissenschaft, still using "Aryan", but inserting an explanatory bracket. Otto Schrader in 1918 in his Reallexikon der indogermanischen Altertumskunde under the entry Arier matter-of-factly discusses the Indo-Iranians, without any reference to a possible wider meaning of the term.
According to Michael Witzel in his paper Autochthonous Aryans? The Evidence from Old Indian and Iranian Texts, "the use of the word Arya or Aryan to designate the speakers of all Indo-European (IE) languages or as the designation of a particular race is an aberration of many writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and should be avoided.
The most probable date for Proto-Indo-Iranian unity is roughly around 2500 BC. In this sense of the word Aryan, the Aryans were an ancient culture preceding both the Vedic and Avestan cultures. Candidates for an archeological identification of this Indo-Iranian culture are the Andronovo and/or Srubnaya Archeological Complexes. India, Anatolia and Central Asia have also been suggested as possible homelands for this culture.
In linguistics, the term Aryan currently may be used to refer to the Indo-Iranian language family. To prevent confusion because of its several meanings, the linguistic term is often avoided today. It has been replaced by the unambiguous terms Proto-Indo-European, Proto-Indo-Iranian, Indo-Iranian, Iranian and Indo-Aryan.
The Proto-Indo-Iranian language evolved into the family of Indo-Iranian languages, of which the oldest-known members are Vedic Sanskrit, Avestan and another Indo-Iranian language, known only from loan-words found in the Mitanni language.
There is evidence of an Indo-Aryan language in Mesopotamia around 1500 BC in the form of loanwords in the Mitanni dialect of Hurrian, the speakers of which, it is speculated, may have once had an Indo-Aryan ruling class. At around the same time, the Indo-Aryans associated with the Vedic civilization, which dates back to the same period. They are sometimes called Vedic Aryans because it is believed that they brought the Vedas to the Indian subcontinent after the Aryans migrated into that region (this theory is contrary to the Out of India Theory). In ancient India, the term Aryavarta, meaning "abode of the Aryans", was used to refer to the northern Indian subcontinent.
Indo-Aryans are spread over most of the northern, eastern, western and central parts of the Indian subcontinent and in the islands of Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Indo-Aryan languages that exist outside the Indian subcontinent include Romani, the language of the Roma people, often known as "Gypsies", Parya, used in Tajikistan, Jataki, used in Ukraine, and Domari which is used in the Middle East.
Darius the Great, King of Persia (521–486 BC), in an inscription in Naqsh-e Rustam (near Shiraz in present-day Iran), proclaims: "I am Darius the great King… A Persian, son of a Persian, an Aryan, having Aryan lineage...", although Herodotus claims that it was the Medes who were the Aryans, having changed their name after the arrival of Medea and potentially her son Medus on the Iranian plateau. He also calls his language the "Aryan language," commonly known today as Old Persian. According to the Encyclopedia Iranica, "the same ethnic concept was held in the later centuries" and was associated with "nobility and lordship." (p. 681)
The word has become a technical term in the theologies of Zoroastrianism, but has always been used by Iranians in the ethnic sense as well. In 1967, Iran's Pahlavi dynasty (overthrown in the 1979 Iranian revolution) added the title Āryāmehr "Light of the Aryans" to those of the monarch, known at the time as the Shahanshah (King of Kings).
The term "Airya-shayana" (abode of the Aryans) has also been used in the Avesta referring to all the lands where the Aryans dwell.
"Iranian Glory" (Airyana Khvarenah) occurs in the Avesta 23 times.
The term also remains a frequent element in modern Persian personal names, including Arya and Aryan (boy's and girl's name), Aryana (a common surname), Iran-Dokht (Aryan daughter, a girl's name),Aryanpour (or Aryanpur, a surname), Aryamane, Ary among many others. The terms "Aryan" and "Iranian" are sometimes used interchangeably, as in the Iranian bank chain, Aryan Bank.
Because of ethnolinguistic arguments about connections between peoples and cultural values, "Aryan" peoples were often considered to be distinct from Semitic peoples. By the end of the nineteenth century "Aryan" was used as a synonym for Indo-European, and this popular usage persists even after some academic authors have condemned such usage because of its negative connotations derived from the Nazi era. In linguistics, it is still used in the context of the sub-branch of Indo-Iranians referred to as Indo-Aryans, all though that usage has also been condemned and proposed to be replaced by the term Indic languages.
The "Aryan race" was a term used in the early 20th century by European racial theorists who believed strongly in the division of humanity into biologically distinct races with differing characteristics. Such writers believed that the Proto-Indo-Europeans constituted a specific race that had expanded across parts of Europe, Iran and small parts of northern India. This usage tends to merge the Sanskrit meaning of "noble" or "elevated" with the idea of distinctive behavioral and ancestral ethnicity marked by language distribution.
From the late 19th century, a number of writers had argued that the Proto-Indo-Europeans had originated in Europe. Their opinion was received critically at first, but was widely accepted by the end of the nineteenth century. By 1905 Hermann Hirt in his Die Indogermanen (Hirt consistently used Indogermanen, not Arier, to refer to the Indo-Europeans) claimed that the scales had tilted in favour of the hypothesis, in particular claiming the plains of northern Germany as the Urheimat (p. 197) and connecting the "blond type" (p. 192) with the core population of the early, "pure" Indo-Europeans. This argument developed in tandem with Nordicism, the theory that the "Nordic race" of fair-haired north Europeans were innately superior to other peoples. The identification of the Proto-Indo-Europeans with the north German Corded Ware culture bolstered this position. This was first proposed by Gustaf Kossinna in 1902, and gained in currency over the following two decades, until V. Gordon Childe who in his 1926 The Aryans: a study of Indo-European origins concluded that "the Nordics' superiority in physique fitted them to be the vehicles of a superior language" (a belief which he later regretted having expressed).
The idea became a matter of national pride in learned circles of Germany, and was taken up by the Nazis. According to Alfred Rosenberg's ideology the "Aryan-Nordic" (arisch-nordisch) or "Nordic-Atlantean" (nordisch-atlantisch) race was thus a master race, at the top of a racial hierarchy, pitted against a "Jewish-Semitic" (jüdisch-semitisch) race, deemed to be a racial threat to Germany's homogeneous Aryan civilization, thus rationalizing Nazi anti-Semitism. Nazism portrayed their interpretation of an "Aryan race" as the only race capable of, or with an interest in, creating and maintaining culture and civilizations, while other races are merely capable of conversion, or destruction of culture. These arguments derived from late nineteenth century racial hierarchies. Some Nazis were also influenced by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine (1888) where she postulates "Aryans" as the fifth of her "Root Races", dating them to about a million years ago, tracing them to Atlantis, an idea also repeated by Rosenberg, and held as doctrine by the Thule Society. Such theories were used to justify the introduction of the so-called "Aryan laws" by the Nazis, depriving "non-Aryans" of citizenship and employment rights, and prohibiting marriage between Aryans and non-Aryans. Though Mussolini's fascism was not originally characterised by explicit anti-Semitism, he too eventually introduced laws pressed upon him by Hitler, prohibiting mixed-race marriages between "Aryans" and Jews.
Because of historical racist use of Aryan, and especially use of Aryan race in connection with the propaganda of Nazism, the word is sometimes avoided in the West as being tainted, in the same manner as the swastika symbol. Currently, India and Iran are the only countries to use the word Aryan in a demographic denomination. Aryan is also a common male name in India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran.

From the article: Choosing an Epidural for Labor and Delivery including Cesarean Section
Epidural anesthesia is a very popular form of pain relief for labor. Just over half the women in the US choose an epidural to numb the pain from contractions. When did you decide to get an epidural? Did your doctor recommend one? Was the anesthesiologist helpful when it came to informed consent? Did your family get to stay with you? How much could you move after the epidural and how did you feel postpartum? Did you have any complications from your epidural? WHat position did you have to be in to get an epidural?
Back pain
- Ever since I got a epidural my back been hurting. I'm not sure what I should do.
- —Guest Tiffany
Numb Toes from epidural
- I have had 3 children and 3 epidurals. With the third all was fine except that my back directly after childbirth hurt worse than normal. That pain subsided but now I have 2 toes on my right side that keep going numb!
- —Guest Misty
Worked for me
- I had my daughter in 2010. I went the first 11 hours of labor without any pain medication in hopes of delivering natural. Was only 5 cm, and lost my will to calm during the contractions. Had a wonderful nurse and doc handle the procedure. My contractions were 2-5 minutes apart from the start so I was very scared about getting the needle. I even had a contraction start to hit right about the time the doctor was putting the needle in, but I prayed to God and miracolously the contraction went away for the first time since my water had broken. The only down side to the epidural was that I had blown out my neck stressing too much during the first 11 hours, and once I couldn't feel the contractions I did feel my neck strain. Saw my chiropractor after delivery to fix that issue. Otherwise, the remaining 11 hours went by quickly, daughter was alert and very active from moment one. Numbness went away after about an hour after delivery. Been fine ever since.
- —Guest Megan
- I love the discussions about epidurals. Anesthesiologists are your advocates during labor and delivery, REGARDLESS of whether or not you want an epidural. Don't believe the hype! We want you and your newborn to be happy, safe, and comfortable during labor.
- —Guest Dr. Joe
5th time's a charm... Almost.
- The first anesthesiologist tried twice unsuccessfully to plant the needle. The second tried twice with the same results. Each time i felt the needle grinding against bone. These women then tried to convince me they couldnt get it in because I have scoliosis (which I dont). My nurse, clearly agitated with them, called for an older male dr who got it in no problem on his first try. And after all this, only my right leg got numb and I felt everything as if it was all pushed to the left. Clearly it didnt work out for me.
- —Guest MsJ
The good and the bad
- I've had 3 kids and I had the epidural with all of them. The good...the epidurals worked great...no pain at all. The bad...get alot of lower back pain, tends to be more painfully during the cold season...going on 15 years. My advice...try to do childbirth without it.
- —Guest Denise
Pain and after effects were not worth it
- At first the epidural was wonderful, but when I started feeling the pain and the Dr gave me a button to push when I felt pain caused more pain and burning in my upper back and shoulders was told it was normal. The pain only intensified as they pushed more medication thru the epidural. Once They started my C section I couldnt get numb and felt everything, they gave me so much my blood pressure bottomed out and had to be knocked out. I still to this day dont know why it hurt so bad when the first time i had it worked great. Drs dont seem to care how us patients feel. I still have no feeeling in my lower abdomen and have headaches. If anyone has any information of what caused the pain I would greatly appreciate it you notifying me.
- —Guest Adrianna
it went up to my brain
- I have 3 kids had an epidural with all 3 my first they had to do it 3 times the first time it went to one side then again and then finally to my right but then wore off and I has pain so bad on one side the delivery. Then my second child it was fine. On my third child I had an epidural and I thought my pain went away which in fact it did but when the nurse came in there was something wrong she immediately called for the doctor and he was looking at me at my face it was sinking my eye kid was drooping and a side of my lip was sinking I couldn't feel on my whole upper side and really all over the epidural went up to my brain in pregnant again and do not want an epidural again but you never know with that pain I just don't know what to do this time. I am actually very scared.

- Technology is an amazing thing. I was induced and it wasn't too long before I was having intense contractions. I was in the hospital obviously, so I remember being cold and a little overwhelmed by the pain. In fact, my parents came to visit me while I was laboring and for some reason I don't even remember it. Once the epidural kicked in, the difference was like night and day. They gave me the epidural, covered me up in blankets and it wasn't long before I was in heaven. I was relaxed, warm, and there was no more pain. I was able to get some sleep and await my baby. I admire women who have given birth naturally. In fact, many of my friends/family members have done it. But for me, it was amazing to be able to just make the pain go away. I didn't see any reason to suffer if I didn't have to. My baby came quick, the birth was amazing and pain free. My son was alert after birth, eyes open. Neither of us suffered any side effects, just a small headache for me .

Worst decision I have ever made
- I had my first epidural in 2002. It did not work at all and I got no pain relief. Once you have had an epidural you have to be constantly monitored so I wasnt allowed to move and my labour was horrific. In 2005 I went into Labour determined not to have an epidural as no faith in them whatsoever. I failed to progress and they wanted to give me syntocin along with an epidural and they talked me into it, assuring me that this time it would be effective, no such luck, absolute hell but luckily much much quicker. Would not reccomend in a million years

I had a epidural and my leg feels numb
- It's been eight days now I had a epidural and my left leg feels numb. My baby passed stool inside me so I had a c section.
- —Guest lider carter
Don't Remember
- I was in so very, very much pain from the extremely fast labor that I don't remember any problems or pain from the epidural. I was told it was probably too late to have one, then I got one anyway. I remember the midwife helping me lean forward, and then I remember the pain going away. I was so very happy to be back in my head a little bit and free from the agony. The anesthesiologist who did it was wonderful, and I didn't have any side effects. I was numb and exhausted for some hours after the birth, but it was more than worth it.
- —Sandra
Dont get an epidural
- I would never have one ever again. The surgeon burst the fluid bag in my back twice which is conected to the fluid in your brain. When i tried to sit up all the fluid from my brain drained away i had to get two blood patches where they inject blood into your back which nearly paralised me. That never worked so i had to lie down flat for 3 weeks and couldnt even hold my new baby. If your thinking about getting one dont do it.
- —Guest Kym
Loved epidural will do it again
- I was 41 weeks and was induced, after they broke my water I had severe contractions within the hour my epidural was put in by an amazing professional and after that I felt nothing and my baby came within 4 hours of my water breaking! Now both mom and bBy are happy and healthy would not even question getting an epidural. !!!
- —Guest Andy
- its been about a month and a half since I had my son, I did have a epidural and recently been having sharp chest pains under my breasts, my back tends to hurt to where I can't breathe, I went to the my doctor who said it was cause I was low on iron. But recently went to an appointment, the nurse told me that my iron levels where good, so I dont know what to do now because the pains are excrutiating, and last up too 20 to 30 mins, If someone has answers please respond as soon as possible!

Ok, I must admit in my sheltered (somewhat, since I am watching SNL, fine family entertainment) world I have not had the "privilege" of being entertained by Shakira's unique musical style (other than the Pepsi commercial that ran over and over and over and over one baseball season on Reds' games).
What the H-E-double hockey sticks was that? Do they always let her perform without medication? The arbitrary change in voice, the Elaine Benes choreography, I thought maybe it was just another episode of Law & Order with her playing the psycho singer murderer. Now, because of the distraction of the style, I couldn't tell you the words, but she did mention something bizarre such as filing her nails to scratch some guy's face?
Let's just say I'm not looking for any Shakira CD's in the stocking after witnessing that performance.

By A Customer
Nichelle Nichols led a pretty interesting life. All her accounts of the racism she's dealt with are particularly involving. The book has an eye-rolling movie star tendency toward self flattery, but she has reason to be proud of her accomplishments (and I'm sorry, but contrary to what's been previously written, she never comes close to claiming that everyone in her family is a genius or that every man she met fell in love with her). She also offers some STAR TREK anecdotes that I for one never saw before, and I've read a lot of them.
4.0 out of 5 stars "Hailing Frequencies Open, Captain!",
Reginald D. Garrard "the G-man" (Camilla, GA USA) - See all my reviews
What self-respecting male adolescent of the 1960's did not get turned on when he heard those words uttered by Nichelle Nichols in her sexy role as Lt. Uhura on the starship Enterprise? My sister had this "thing" for Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock; wherein, I knew that I wanted to "boldly travel" with Miss Nichols.
Her autobiograpy chronicles not just the Trek years, but her career as dancer before and NASA representative after the initial cancellation of the series. She has written a most interesting book which features the famous and not-so-famous she has encountered in her long career. I was especially captivated by her work on the film "Porgy and Bess" and her encounters with tempermental star Dorothy Dandridge. Miss Nichols reflections are insightful and poignant. Like the other Trek cast members, she carefully "rates" her co-star William Shatner in a tactful, yet revealing portrait.
Yes, the book is a must for Trekkers, but it is a good read for the "non-initiated. It is another look at the world of entertainment and its pros and cons in the dealing of minority performers.
Great work, the true queen of outer space!
5.0 out of 5 stars Lt. Uhura For Captain!,
Anthony Dickerson "aldp" (Greensboro, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This is a fascinating read from beginning to end! Ms. Nichols struggle to achieve success as a black woman in a white-male dominated industry is enlightening and inspiring. She is a talented, compassionate, giving person which shines forth from the written word. I encourage you to purchase her cd as well, "Out Of This World" to hear her lovely voice and one of the best interviews I've heard. Also, check out the animated star trek series from the 70s where Lt. Uhura gets to finally serve as Captain (The Lorelei Signal episode)! She is also prominently featured in "The Slaver Weapon", "Once Upon A Planet" and "The Practical Joker" episodes and yes, it's her voice as the character. I read she and George Takei (Sulu) almost weren't a part of the animated series until Leonard Nimoy went to bat for them. My fantasy is to see Nichelle get a leading role in a movie, "Uhura's Song" (one of the Star Trek novels by Janet Kagan) perhaps? : - ) All hailing frequencies are eternally open for this dynamic lady.
4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Autobiography and Show Business Peek,
By A Customer
I really enjoyed Nichelle Nichol's autobiography, which lived up to its title. Like many fans of Star Trek, I'm interested as much in the actor's histories as I am in their experiences on the show. I very much enjoyed the chapter devoted to her family history,that led up to her life-long struggle to be treated with respect as a black performer during very racist times. It made me appreciate her accomplishments even more, and the unofficial campaign by network suits to diminish her role. Her autobiography goes beyond just an actor's memoir; she shares with the reader what it was like to be a struggling female minority actress (adversity times 3!), facing producers' lascivious advances, attempted rape, open racism, and stereotyping, and ultimately triumphing. The most fascinating part was her description of her experiences with black performers she met or worked with, from Redd Foxx to Sammy Davis Jr. Anyone who quibbles that she was the target of advances by many famous people only needs to see her photos; they'll change their opinions. This book is written in her own voice, without a ghostwriter or "editor". Definitely recommended.
2.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointing, but worth reading if you're a fan,
By A Customer
The author spends the first few chapters of the book expanding on her genealogy. Die-hard Uhura fans may enjoy this (especially since her family tree contains ancestors who were extraordinary for their social stances in their time), but fans of Star Trek in general may be bored. Her manner of story-telling seems egotistical even to the point of being hard to believe. I must admit that after reading several chapters on her family and background, I skipped ahead to the Star Trek years. Her descriptions of the racial discrimination that occurred during Star Trek--both obvious and "Jim Crow" varieties--is certainly worth reading about, especially for young readers who don't remember the bad old days and may get quite a culture shock from it. Hearing about the mail-room incident certainly shocked me. I had such a bad feeling about it that I wanted to warp back in time and change history. I was a little annoyed with her gullibility on matters psychic, as well as her seeming subservience to Gene Roddenberry. I even wondered if he had kept her on the show just so that he could manipulate her psychologically in some sadistic personal vendetta by cutting her lines thus cutting out her heart a little bit at a time? Did she ever consider that? (Though I'm glad she stayed on the show and I wish she'd been given more lines; especially as she turned out to be a role model for so many.) On the other hand, I also wondered if she perhaps chose G.R. in order to sleep her way onto the TV screen, but then glossed over the fact in this one-sided rendition of her life story. (Shame on me for thinking it). I wouldn't suggest buying the book, but do check it out of the library. And skip the boring parts!
5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating look at unknown facets of Nichelle Nichols,
By A Customer
If you want 400 pages of Star Trek, this may not be the book for you. If, on the other hand, you want to read a biography of a woman who has broken down barriers and lived a life few people even dream of, this book will have you enthralled. Nichols has done so much in her life, and rubbed elbows with so many incredible people--Maya Angelou, Duke Ellington, the astronauts of the space shuttle Challenger--that she's lived far beyond her role as Uhura on Star Trek. She does talk about her Star Trek career, but there's so much more to her than that. This memoir is inspirational, sometimes hysterical, and always a great read. You won't be disappointed in this book!
4.0 out of 5 stars nice, easy, pretty interesting read,
By A Customer
Where some have mentioned the author as coming across a bit narcissistic and perhaps as having embellished her memoirs, the read is still quite enjoyable. Having done as many different things and having met as many interesting people as Ms. Nichols has indeed done, it's not surprising that she may seem a little self impressed or perhaps even proud of her accomplishments. Regardless of what you think of her, the book itself is a light, good hearted, at times funny diversion. Trekkers will like the latter half more, but even the non-Trek stuff was rather interesting (not screamingly so, but nevertheless more than I had imagined.)
5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Uhura,
Sandra Koury (VA, USA) - See all my reviews
The book is exactly about what the title means-- Her hard struggle to survive on the Star Trek series was amazing.
Watching Star Trek you would never realize how hard to was for her, physicaly and emotionaly, to stay on the show.
How she had to face racism, sexism, critisism, raising a son on her own, just to get there, proves how much of a strong woman she is.
From the first chapter you become transported to her world, her thoughts, her dreams, her success,... her amazing and inspirational life.
1.0 out of 5 stars Ms. Nichols' account of her life is not believable.,
At least half of this book is about Nichols life and family. The other half is about her years on Star Trek. If Ms. Nichols is to be believed, everyone in her family is a genius. (If her parents are so intelligent, why did she need to support them?) She also leads readers to believe that almost every man who meets her falls madly in love with her and declares that he cannot live without her. If there is any truth in this book, it is overshadowed by her constant self-adoration.
3.0 out of 5 stars An interesting, albeit melodramatic Star Trek memoir.,
By A Customer
Nichelle Nichols's character of Uhura served as an important role model for minorities as one of the first regularly appearing African American characters on television (and an officer!). For this reason, Nichols memories of Star Trek are interesting and enjoyable (but perhaps a bit exagerated).

Use to have many years ago a Panasonic bread maker but had varied results ending up with selling the machine and abandoning the whole idea of home bread making. Problem seemed to be the yeast affecting the Rising of dough. After several years of buying bread and seeing the prices going ever higher we decided to have another look.

Seriously though. How many people actually sign up for the Stir Events that like a singles cruise to Alaska or explore Bermuda??? Since I'm not really much of selfie kinda guy... and don't really have albums of me in the bathroom with my shirt off... I mostly have current pics from weddings I've attended recently. If I was a selfie master, you would see me enjoying a game of volleyball at north ave beach and indoor volleyball year round. I prefer to be active and fit outside of work. I like being open minded to just about anything. Whether it's trying something new to eat, jumping off a cliff into water, or learning something new I've never tried before, such as paddle boarding, trying to cook something different, painting, rock climbing. I also love my movies and TV. As much as I like to be active, I can be very laid back. Binge watching a TV Series for 3-4 hours on a lazy Sunday can be perfect. What's the first thing ppl notice about me? By a survey of friends, the cliche eyes and smile. Apparently it comes off non-threatening and more warm and fuzzy. Lol. I do have a baby face. It makes me seem younger than I really am. Hopefully my Asian gene makes it last till I'm past 50. As I'm sure you have noticed. I am divorced, and I do have an amazing son. He is the reason I smile each day. I prefer to be upfront. I have been divorced for about 9 years. Some things in life just happen that you can't control. As for baggage, they have been unpacked long long ago. I'm happy with the people and things I have currently in my life, but it would be nice to share that happiness/adventure with someone special...
