Each week Fantasy Source breaks down every game from a fantasy perspective to give owners an edge with their lineup decisions. The following is the Ravens-Steelers Week 1 matchup. To see all of this week's matchups, sign up for Fantasy Source.
Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco is on the spot this week.
Pittsburgh linebacker LaMarr Woodley called him out in the offseason, saying Flacco won't win a Super Bowl "in this lifetime."
Here's what we know so far: Flacco is 2-6 against the Steelers, including a pair of postseason losses. If the Ravens want to get to the top of AFC North and then some, that means going through the Steelers.
Pittsburgh, meanwhile, should benefit from having Ben Roethlisberger for a full season. It's going to be a defensive matchup, and one or two plays in the passing game will be the difference.
The question is whether or not Flacco can make those plays. Hey Joe? Where you gonna go?
5-Star Players
Mike Wallace, WR, Steelers. Wallace averaged 50 yards per game in the two meetings last season. It's a favorable matchup when you consider Wallace will be covered by either Cary Williams or rookie Jimmy Smith, but the Ravens are sure to counter with Ed Reed as safety help over the top. Can Wallace beat Reed deep? If the answer is yes, Wallace will be a WR1 in fantasy.
Steelers defense/special teams. Death, taxes and the Steelers stop the run. Linebacker James Harrison's health has been in question after he had offseason back surgery, but he'll play. Harrison's and Woodley's pressure off the edge is the key. Pittsburgh has limited Baltimore to 16.8 points per game with Flacco under center, including 166.3 passing yards per game and 92.8 rushing yards per game. That all makes the Steelers a top-shelf fantasy play.
4-Star Players
Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Steelers. Roethlisberger is 6-0 in head-to-head meetings against Flacco the last three seasons. He averaged 238.3 passing yard game in that stretch, but it comes with seven TDs and three interceptions. Roethlisberger looked good in the preseason, and he is working in some exciting new targets in Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown. The passing yards will be there, but Roethlisberger needs two TDs to be a legit fantasy starter. He has only done that once in those last six games. Roethlisberger is a starter in standard leagues.
3-Star Players
Joe Flacco, QB, Ravens. Flacco has pedestrian career numbers against Pittsburgh. He averages 193.7 passing yards per game with seven touchdowns and eight interceptions in those eight games. Also, he has been sacked 29 times. Flacco lost two key targets in Derrick Mason and Todd Heap this offseason, so he'll have to get the ball out quickly to a plethora of young targets. There are better options in standard 12-team leagues.
Ray Rice, RB, Ravens. Fun fact: Rice is the only player to rush for more than 100 yards against the Steelers in the last three seasons. Rice averages 77.8 total yards per game against Pittsburgh in the regular season, but that comes with no touchdowns. Rice will put up enough rushing and receiving yards to be a RB2, but owners counting on a touchdown or two might be disappointed.
Anquan Boldin, WR, Ravens. The Ravens signed Boldin to help beat the Steelers, and in three meetings last season, Boldin totaled 13 catches, 184 yards and a TD. That included a one-catch, minus-2 yard dud in the AFC divisional playoffs. Boldin likely knows that, so he should be ready to tangle with Pittsburgh cornerback Ike Taylor. Boldin is Flacco's go-to guy now, so it's a question of targets. Pencil Boldin in as a WR2.
Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Steelers. Mendenhall is coming off a career year, though his Twitter comments following the death of Osama bin Laden have resonated more than his rushing yards. Mendenhall averaged just 56.6 yards per game on the ground against Baltimore last season, but he compensated with two touchdowns on two separate occasions. Modest rushing totals are inevitable, but Mendenhall's goal-line prowess keeps him at the RB2 spot.
Shaun Suisham, K, Steelers. Suisham was 17-of-20 on field-goal attempts last season, but two of those misses came in crucial spots. Has Suisham recovered from that? A field-goal battle is possible, and Suisham hit 8-of-10 from 40 yards or more last season. The forecast, however, calls for rain and possibly thunderstorms. Use a different kicker.
2-Star Players
Heath Miller, TE, Steelers. Miller has made a career out of being Roethlisberger's safety valve, but his own safety was jeopardized when he suffered a concussion in the last regular-season meeting against the Ravens. Miller has never scored in six career games at Baltimore, and the Ravens allowed the fifth fewest points to tight ends last season. Find a better option.
Billy Cundiff, K, Ravens. Cundiff is 7-of-7 on field-goal attempts inside of 40 yards against Pittsburgh, but he's just 1-of-3 from 40 yards or more. Steelers-Ravens isn't synonymous with shootout, and Cundiff's opportunities will be limited. Find another option.
1-Star Players
Lee Evans, WR, Ravens. Evans will get his first taste of Ravens-Steelers, and Flacco surely will test his new deep threat right away. Evans will test Bryant McFadden, and the Ravens probably will dial up a play-action deep ball Evans way early. Evans is a hit-or-miss WR3, but this could be a week he hits.
Hines Ward, WR, Steelers. Ward fell down draft boards because of a drop in production and his age, but he's always a steady contributor in this offense. Ward likely will be covered by rookie Jimmy Smith, and that's a battle the veteran receiver wins. Ward averages 50.1 yards per game lifetime against Baltimore. He'll make a few big plays, and a touchdown would seal his WR3 status.
Ed Dickson, TE, Ravens. Dickson inherits the starting job at tight end, but it's a tough sell this week. Dickson will have to find openings between James Farrior, Lawrence Timmons and Troy Polamalu. Good luck with that. The Steelers allowed the sixth fewest fantasy points to tight ends last season.
Ravens defense/special teams. Ray Lewis and Ed Reed have made careers out of proving doubters wrong. Here the Ravens are again, breaking in a new defensive coordinator in Chuck Pagano. Baltimore must not only get pressure on Roethlisberger, but Terrell Suggs and Co. must also get the big-bodied quarterback to the ground. Baltimore has held Pittsburgh to 19.6 points per game, 77.7 rushing yards per game and 193.2 passing yards per game in the last eight games. Issues in the secondary must be answered, however, before the Ravens are a sure thing.
0-Star Players
Ricky Williams, RB, Ravens. The Ravens acquired Williams in the offseason, but Rice remains the goal-line back of choice. Williams will get a handful of touches, but he has never scored a TD in three career games against the Steelers. Keep Williams on the bench.
Isaac Redman, RB, Steelers. Redman continues to caddy for Mendenhall, and it's worth knowing Redman scored the game-winning touchdown against the Ravens in Week 13 of last season. Redman, however, won't get more than four or five touches. Mendenhall still is the goal-line back. Leave Redman on the bench.
Antonio Brown, WR, Steelers. Ravens fans know all about Brown. He had three catches for 75 yards in the playoff meeting last season, including a 58-yard catch that set up the game-winning touchdown. Brown built on that with an outstanding preseason (three TDs on five catches). Brown is a deep threat Roethlisberger is growing more comfortable with, but he's a long-shot sleeper in standard leagues.
Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Steelers. Sanders will fight with Brown for targets out of the slot, and he had four catches for 54 yards in last year's playoff win. Roethlisberger will target Sanders on a few intermediate dig and comeback routes. Sanders, however, is splitting targets with Brown now. He's an emergency WR3.
Torrey Smith, WR, Ravens. Smith is one of the many rookies Flacco is working with, but the speedster had just four catches for 20 yards in the preseason. We don't see Smith challenging Troy Polamalu downfield out of the slot. Try another receiver.

By Sgt. 1st Class Doug Sample, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, 2004 Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told a group of DoD career employees today that the country and world are better because of their accomplishments.
The honored employees received the DoD Distinguished Civilian Service Award, which is the department's highest civilian service honor and recognizes careerists for contributions impacting the department.
In remarks at the Pentagon ceremony before presenting the award, Rumsfeld said "their dedication has long been the hallmark of the civil service."
The secretary repeated words of President Theodore Roosevelt, words that he said "captured the spirit" of service of those being honored: "It pays, no matter what comes after it, to try to do things, to accomplish things in this life, and not merely to have a soft and pleasant time."
"And I'm sure that in the years of service of these individuals on behalf of the American people, that these years have been anything but soft," Rumsfeld said. "You've accomplished a great many things and a wide range of activities, and our country, and indeed the world, are better because of it."
He credited the workers with giving DoD career expertise that had "significantly improved" the department's effectiveness during the global war on terror.
Rumsfeld said their contributions came during an era of "unprecedented challenge" for the United States, pointing out that the country faces an "unrelenting enemy that continues to probe for weaknesses, for vulnerabilities that they can exploit."
DoD employees honored today were:

Blue Ivy Carter arrived in style this weekend, though how and with what level of security she made her grand entrance is currently up for debate. Even though we were already furiously working on these pink booties Sunday morning, Jay-Z and Beyonce waited until this afternoon to issue a statement. "We are happy to announce the arrival of our beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, born on Saturday, January 7, 2012. Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful – we are in heaven," said Bey and Hov, adding, "She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs." Their use of the word "naturally" seemed to directly contradict rumors that Blue arrived via a scheduled C-section. We weren't there, so we'll take their word for it. Even if we had been there, we would have been covering our eyes and screaming.
Another point of contention is the affect Blue Ivy's security had on her fellow baby friends. According to dad-to-be Neil Coulon, whose wife also delivered at Lenox Hill, Beyonce and Jay-Z's bouncers caused a big problem for other families on their floor. "Three times they stopped me from entering or exiting the NICU and it happened once on Friday just because they wanted to use the hallway," Coulon told the New York Daily News. "They should have been more strategic about it. These are children with problems in intensive care and you're just going to take over the hospital like you own it? All I want is an apology." However, according to the hospital's Executive Director Frank Danza, "No security plan that we or the Carters' security team put in place would have prevented or delayed families from gaining access to the NICU, and to date, no families have complained to the hospital about being denied access to the NICU." Hmmm, we're sure some security was in place, though. We mean, would you have been able to stay in your stirrups if you knew Bey was giving birth next door? Wow, really? Maybe we really are her biggest fans. What do you think?

Science Matters
Gaining from Net Zero
EPA scientists join forces with the U.S. Army sustainability initiative to advance decontamination technologies.
EPA scientist Jeff Szabo, Ph.D. and his colleagues are using vehicle cleaning operations on the Kansas Fort Riley military base as an opportunity to advance research into decontamination techniques and technologies. Their work has grown out of a unique partnership between the Agency's Office of Research and Development and the U.S. Army to support the Army's Net Zero program, a sustainability initiative focused on reducing energy and water consumption, and waste on military bases (see sidebar: Net Zero).
At Fort Riley, soldiers use high pressure water cannons to clean military vehicles returning from training exercises with a thick coating of dirt, mud, and grime. The resulting wastewater running off the vehicles drains into large sedimentation basins to let large particles of dirt settle out. That's where the research opportunity materialized.
Net Zero
EPA's Office of Research and Development joined forces with the Army in November 2011 to provide innovative research and technologies to support the Army's Net Zero initiative for sustainability.
The aim of Net Zero is to manage resources on Army installations in ways that match consumption with conservation: produce as much energy as is used, conserve and recycle freshwater, and eliminate the need to send waste to a landfill.
EPA scientists are working on three research projects associated with the initiative: (1) reusing non-drinkable "wastewater" for irrigation and cleaning; (2) studying the connection between water use practices and water savings technology; and (3), as exemplified by the project highlighted, using dirty water washed from vehicles returning from training exercises to test and advance decontamination methods.
"The Net Zero project is a great way for us to use an existing resource to further our research. The partnership benefits the Army, and what we learn better prepares us to help in the event we might need to assist in a large scale decontamination event in a civilian setting, involving large buildings or lots of cars and other vehicles," said EPA's Jeff Szabo.
Realizing that similar cleaning operations would be necessary following a large-scale event involving biological, radiological, or chemical contamination, EPA scientists set up a field station to explore decontamination techniques they could apply in real-world scenarios. The scientists and engineers use safe biological agents as surrogates for more dangerous ones to test advanced oxidation and disinfection technologies. They add these surrogates to both the dirty water from the vehicle cleaning operation and to equal quantities of clean water. By comparing results for removing surrogates from both dirty and clean water, the scientists learn how removal technologies will fair under conditions involving vehicles returning from emergency response and remediation operations.
"This situation mirrors a problem we conduct research on at EPA: If we have large volumes of contaminated water flushed from a drinking water system, or washed from a building or outdoor area, what treatment options are readily available and how do they perform? The vehicle wash facility at Ft. Riley generates 'real world' waste water that we would encounter when washing a military vehicle, and could be used as a surrogate for dirty water washed from cars or buildings during a contamination event in a city. Not all water that becomes contaminated is the clean stuff flowing through pipes on the way to our faucets," Szabo explained.
Furthermore, if a military vehicle is contaminated with a biological warfare agent in the field, results from this project will help advance technologies and treatment processes to decontaminate the vehicle and the wastewater produced.
After the research is complete, data on treating large volumes of real world "dirty" water will be available to cities, states, and Department of Defense facilities that may have to treat large volumes of contaminated water.

Types of Sessions
Face-to-Face Sessions
Preparing for your Session
- If you have a draft, bring a printed copy with you
- Bring the directions for the assignment
What to Expect
- You will be logged in when you arrive
- Your consultant will ask you a few questions to judge where you're at in the writing process
- You may be asked to read your paper (or part of it) out loud
- The consultant may take notes for you throughout the session
- The consultant may ask questions, make suggestions, or provide you with additional information to help you finish or improve your paper
- Toward the end of the session, the consultant will ask you if you have any final questions
- Then, the consultant may help you develop a plan of attack for getting everything you discussed done
- You will be logged out and possibly asked if you would like to make any future appointments right away
- You will be e-mailed a survey to let us know how we did. Your response is encouraged, but will be anonymous to the consultant
eTutoring Sessions
eTutoring is an online option available to all students; it works best for students who are unable to meet during our normal business hours.
What YOU do:
- Make an appointment indicating you want an online YouTube session
- Attach your draft and the directions to the assignment/project
- Wait to get the e-mail we send you with the feedback
- Watch the feedback on your own and decide your next steps as a writer
What WE do:
- Look at your draft and the directions for it, and make comments on it via an audio & screen recording that we upload using an unlisted YouTube profile
- Our comments will include a few higher order concerns and a few lower order concerns if there is time
- We upload it and send you the link
For eTutoring appointments, you will receive a screen recording sent to you through a YouTube link. To do this option, you will need to schedule an appointment with a consultant on the Writing Center website (big green button) and be sure to choose "eTutoring" from the drop down menu at the top. In addition, you will need to attach a copy of your draft/ assignment before your appointment is scheduled to begin so the consultant can have time to review it and send you the feedback. When you have successfully scheduled yourself this kind of appointment, it will appear a yellowy color. You will receive the link to your recorded feedback about an hour after your appointment was scheduled to begin.
VideoChat Sessions
This option is best for writers who want the same thorough feedback that meeting face-to-face in real time affords. It's a great option for brainstorming or understanding an assignment, as well as for getting feedback on a draft.
What YOU do:
- Make an appointment indicating you want an online Video chat session
- Attach your draft and assignment if you have them
- At the time when you scheduled your appointment, log back on to the Writing Center website and click on your appointment (red box)
- When you click it, a new window will open. Click the red link that says "Start or Join Online Consultation" and another window will appear with your chat and video chat in it (as well as some directions for how to use it).
- In the upper right hand corner, there will be a person with a number next to it. When it says two, both you and the consultant are viewing the video chat.
What WE do:
- Add your draft to the chat/ video chat screen
- When we see you are viewing the session, we will start the audio/ video chat.
- From here, the sessions operate in a similar way as the Face to Face sessions.
For Video Chat appointments, you will actually get to talk with the consultant about your draft online. To do this option, you will also need to schedule an appointment with a consultant on the Writing Center website and be sure to choose "meet online" from the drop-down menu. When you have successfully scheduled yourself this kind of appointment, the box will appear red. In addition, you should attach a copy of your draft and/or assignment as well so the consultant can add it to your chat (so both of you can see and edit it). Be sure to select an appointment slot that works well for you, as with this option, you are expected to be ready to begin at that time.
If you have a quick question for a Writing Center consultant, use Google Chat, through your UWO email account. This service is available to assist all UW Oshkosh students.
What YOU do:
- Go to your .uwosh email
- On the left hand side there is a search bar to "search people" type "wcenter" in it
- Highlight the firstname.lastname@example.com option and select the "invite to chat"
What WE do:
- Accept your request to chat and answer your question
If a consultant is logged on at the time of your question, he or she will try to answer your question right away. If the question is more complex and the consultant believes it cannot be simply answered in a quick chat session, the consultant will ask you to schedule a full-length session so we can better assist you.

Upon arriving at the hotel, we were told that they could not honor the reservation. I understand that they had a wedding that took most of the hotel and so placed us at another hotel. While the new hotel was very nice, it was 8-10 miles further from our activities and greatly increased the driving time to our planned activities. The Claremont should not be trusted in the future to honor any reservations made there. It was very unprofessional and inconvenient.

Thanks to Sam for demonstrating the project for this Instructable.
"Submitted by Ace Monster Toys Hackerspace in Oakland, CA for the Instructables Sponsorship Program"
Step 1: Tools & Materials
*Camping Cook pot
*metal tent stake (1)
*screwdriver/awl for making holes
*Shop Scissors or aviation snips
*piece of scrap wood/mdfnot
Step 2: Cut & Join The Windscreen Body
Then, we join these rectangular bits together by placing two sheets on top of each other and folding over the edges in a "felled" seam. Use the scrap piece of wood/mdf to help you make the fold smooth and flat.
Step 3: Shape & Assemble
Then, shape the sheets around the pot for which you wish to make a stand/windscreen.
Using the shop scissors, trim to the proper height, cleaning up the edges, but be sure and leave a small tab.
Fold this tab over to lock the ends together.
Attach open ends with paper/binder clips (make sure they are metal! -- remember this screen will get hot!l)
Thank you. This one is so cheap, so light, so easy to build! I just made my own and i'm gonna use it this week-end.

Academic Advisors
All Sociology majors must be assigned a Sociology advisor as early as possible during their college years. The structure of the curriculum demands that students make sure that they are properly advised in order for them to meet the requirements. Each student is free to choose his/her advisor provided this advisor has not already reached a number of advisees who will make it difficult for him/her to properly serve his/her advisees. In this case, the student will be assigned an adviser by the Sociology Program faculty.
The faculty advisor for the Sociology program is Professor Stephen Lilley, Ph.D.
SO398 The Senior Seminar in Sociology
The scientific core of the junior year immerses students in sociological theory and methods of research, and the Senior Seminar in Sociology takes this one step further by having the students synthesize them in practice. Rather than simply learn sociology, they do sociology. They take on the role of practitioner, a vital step in the career of a sociologist.
This seminar serves as a transition between college study and the profession of sociology. Writing the thesis provides the student direct experience with what is entailed in sociological scholarship. By promoting a mentor-mentee relationship the senior is provided with a role model and advocate. And finally, examples of applied sociology demonstrate to students how they can practice sociology in a variety of settings. Thus, the seminar not only promotes the skills but also the professional identity necessary for success in graduate study or careers in the public and private sectors.
The format of the seminar, its intensity, and the encouragement of a professional identity strongly reinforce and complete the seniors' experience as a class.

Mackenzie Douthit's Hubby-to-Be Snuggles With Her Baby Bump — Flashback! (PHOTO)
Two words: cuteness overload! Mackenzie Douthit and her baby daddy, Josh Drummonds, have always been one of the sweetest couples in Teen Mom Land, but they just took things to a whole new level of adorable.
Guys, may we present this flashback photo of Mackenzie's bare baby bump. But wait — it gets better! Josh is snuggling up a storm with his baby-to-be, and he looks completely overwhelmed with love. Do you see that smile? His eyes are closed and he's totally blissed-out, sob!
Sigh, it's pictures like this that make us beyond excited for Mackenzie and Josh's upcoming wedding. These two are clearly meant to be, and we have a sneaky suspicion that they're the new Catelynn and Tyler of Teen Mom 3. In other words, expect them to nonstop slay you with their romantic love connection.
Now excuse us while we ride off into the sunset on a baby donkey.

CMAS Plática: Cristina Cabello de Martínez
Wed, December 12, 2012 • 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM • Chicano Culture Room (UNB 4.206), Texas Union, The University of Texas at Austin
"Guadalupe, Our Greatest Cultural Legacy"
In this plática, Dr. Cristina Cabello de Martinez will discuss some of the recent authoritative discoveries on the image of Guadalupe and its significance today.
New research on the image of the 481 year old coarse agave tilma of Juan Diego clarifies its pivotal significance as a "Náhuatl Codex." The words spoken by María of Guadalupe to Juan Diego were clear to him precisely because of the complexity of the apparition that was meant to console the very heart of the indigenous and simultaneously exhort him to action. Thus the tilma becomes profoundly more than an image; it is a codex that reveals, in the Náhuatl language and culture, Flor y Canto, Truth.
Cristina Cabello de Martinez, Ph.D., is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at The University of Texas at Austin.

Are Weight Loss Methods Effective?
Are Weight Loss Methods Effective?
Article by Charles Volcolatte
Making use of various weight loss products is miracle for those who want to lose weight. Invariably, the truth behind these weight lose products may presently damage our health. Fortunately, using weight loss products is not the only means needed to ensure weight loss. In fact, there are actually four noted means to lose weight: weight loss supplements, weight loss surgery and remedy options, diet plans and exercise routines.
The first weight loss method is the use of weight loss supplements. Weight loss supplements are great options for those who want to lose weight promptly; especially if the formulation carried by the said supplement is absolutely strong and potent. We want to warn users, though, that it is a must to make research choices before patronizing any weight loss supplement because of its possible consequences and impact on an individual's health and wellness. Also, we believe that not all weight loss supplements are good for our health; in fact some may lead to severe health consequences
The second popular weight loss system is weight loss surgery and other such treatment methods. These surgical procedures are great means to lose weight for those people who are horrendously obese. This surgical process might cause further problems when the surgery is not successful. There are several factors that could lead to such aftereffects. Indeed, the rates of weight loss surgeries are expanding based on the statement given by the surgeons and yet it is not the applicable option for weight loss if a person is not advised by his or her physician to specifically undergo this medical procedure.
The third weight loss manner that is most commonly used is the use of fad diets. Fad diets come in the form of those weight loss plans that reduce the consumption of certain food choices while beefing up on other food types. In fact, some fad diets may be good for the body in terms of earning maximum weight loss.. But then again, if long-term health and wellness is among the goals of the dieters, then this mode might be the best options to use.
In line with the other weight loss methods, there is the last one that is most noted among those who want to lose weight while augmenting their health at the same time. This method is that which involves exercise practices and physical activities. This program is a great way to follow because it accelerates the metabolism while burning fats and calories as well. Further, exercise, especially aerobic types of exercise, is also good for our system, especially to our circulatory system. For this reason, opting for maximum weight loss and health and wellness should make dieters opt for exercise as their initial weight loss mode because of its superb effect on the health and vitality of an individual, thus also targeting a positive way of life for the dieters.
On our end, we believe that exercise and a healthy way of life can surpass the other drastic measures to lose weight, such as surgical treatment options and even weight loss products. But in the end, it will all be traced to what the user wants to patronize and stick to, and how much weight he or she would want to lose. These are the factors that should be immediately considered when an individual is still confused as to which weight loss method to make use of.

How Effective is Hypnosis Weight Loss
How Effective is Hypnosis Weight Loss
Article by Trevor Dalley
Whether you've recently started a weight loss plan, or you're afraid you're on the brink of a weight loss motivation tips meltdown you can take heart, saving a weight loss program is possible. You can reignite the weight loss programs. It won't necessarily be easy or fast, but if you're committed to making it work there is hope.
I've compiled a list of some of the things you need to do to salvage and repair your weight loss plan. Keep these tips in mind when you are analyzing your weight loss programs:
1. Do you really want to stay in the weight loss plan? I know this may sound like a dumb question but sometimes when we think we want to keep our weight loss management program tips what we really mean is that we're afraid of having to find a new weight loss tips motivation cd, or starting over.
If you're brutally honest with yourself you can determine if you really want to continue the weight loss system or if you're just scared of being a big weight loss tips flop.
Another part of this question is to determine if your weight loss program really does work on the fat burning too. Even if you decide that your weight loss tips and exercise cd is not worth using, that doesn't mean your weight loss Randy Charach self hypnosis cd is not any good your conviction and willpower will see you through, invest the time and effort to work on your problems.
2. Honestly evaluate what went wrong in your weight loss plan. Again, this will need to be done over time. This can be the hardest part, it's always easier to blame someone else for the problems but it's tougher to own up to your part in the break down of your weight loss program.
Before you can repair it you need to know not only what is broken but why it broke. You may even want to visit a weight loss tips motivation counsellor or weight loss motivation trainer to help you objectively work through this phase.
Sometimes having an objective third party in the form of Randy Charach and his self hypnosis weight loss cd can help you face things you may not have been willing or able to face on your own.
2. Try to remember what drew you to the weight loss system in the first place. If you've been trying to lose weight for a while you obviously need tips on quick weight loss diets, so often in a weight loss program what happens is that the conscious mind controls the weight loss and this is not good.
The sub-conscious should become the stronger, using Randy Charachs self-hypnosis weight loss cd helps the sub-conscious, giving you a stronger will to eat good food, lose weight and keep it off. The sub-conscious mind will take on the role of the giver.
Over time the 'conscious mind ' will get bored because the fun loving fat person they ruled over has become boring and will get sick of not getting its needs met often enough.
If your weight loss program has fallen into this trap you need to take a step back and remember what attracted you to the weight plan. This might be a good time to not only remember but to tell your friends about Randy Charachs weight loss cd's. Remind them why you fell in love with this weight loss self-hypnosis system.
Weight loss programs will take time, work, and commitment, but it can be done. If you think your weight loss plan is worth doing and your friend's thinks so too, then by all means, follow the tips above and you can win in your weight loss.
So, the answer to "Self Hypnosis for Weight Loss and Relaxation?" is "YES"!

Shrink Hemorrhoids Now – Use Effective Ways to Shrink Hemorrhoids
Shrink Hemorrhoids Now – Use Effective Ways to Shrink Hemorrhoids
Article by Mohamad Ali
Hemorrhoids exist in about 6 percent of the population. Everyone has hemorrhoids and it is just a matter of whether they are inflamed or otherwise. You can however alleviate this problem – shrink hemorrhoids. However, diet is one of the most important causes of hemorrhoids that need to be addressed. If you can coordinate and control your food intake, then you need not worry about how to shrink hemorrhoids.
Depending on whether hemorrhoids are internal or external, this ailment can be healed even if you do not use medical interventions as there are many ways to shrink hemorrhoids found in the area of home remedies.
1. Prepare a warm sitz bath and soak your buttocks in the bath. You can do this for about three times a daily. You can add in Epsom salt, herbal salt or even baking soda into the bath. Doing so will eliminate the pain and discomfort associated with the hemorrhoids. Make sure that you do not use any perfumed soap or oils in the bath as this will irritate the hemorrhoids. Still the safest way is to use clear warm water. Warm water will dilate the blood vessels and provide comfort to the sufferer.
2. Make use of astringents to shrink hemorrhoids. They have similar properties to vasoconstrictors in that astringents can close down the blood vessels. Once the blood supply is cut off, then the hemorrhoids will starve and dry up. Astringents in use to shrink hemorrhoids include witch hazel. This ingredient is a very strong astringent and antioxidant that allow for the management of bleeding and swelling. They come in the forms of creams, suppositories and ointments.
3. You can add in the garlic and onions as these have been very useful in alleviating hemorrhoids. They kill bacteria and are also useful in strengthening the blood vessels. Inflammation is very much reduced by these ingredients.
4. Take supplements of Vitamin C 1000 mg tablet daily. This preparation which should also contain hesperidin and rutin will strengthen the blood cells and provide the defence against free radicals that tend to attack body cells. This supplement will shrink hemorrhoids. The next supplement to take is a 1000 mg capsule of Omega 3. This has many important properties including the ability to prevent blood platelets clumping. Thus there is no clotting of blood as is found in thrombosed hemorrhoids. As such there is smooth blood flow in the body thus alleviating the pain associated with hemorrhoids.

Here are a few — less involved than baking — ways to make your home smell great.
1. Good old-fashioned baking soda: use it in the fridge, a yucky closet, as a carpet freshener. It will neutralize any odd smell you want to get rid of.
2. Not just for salad dressing vinegar: so powerful, vinegar can remove skunk smell on a dog. Leave a bowl of vinegar overnight in any room in the house and it will kill nose-scrunching smells. Clean with it for an extra shot of fresh.
3. When life hands you lemons…: Half a lemon in your fridge will freshen it right up. Cut two lemons in half and you can tackle that litter box smell or anything else for that matter. One cut up in your microwave and cook for a few seconds and you've softened all that dried on food so it's easier to clean, and it smells great.
4. Cloves: Wow, are they full of aroma! Throw some into a few cups of water, bring it to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Add citrus or apple peels for extra scents.
Next time you run out of Febreeze, just look in your pantry or produce drawer and freshen up the natural way!

Fifty $207 million, half a million pound Boeing (BA) 787s have been grounded due to fires in some of their batteries. Last month, I posted ideas from MIT professor, Don Sadoway, on how to fix the batteries. Today, reports suggest that Boeing engineers like Sadoway's ideas.
In January, Sadoway told me that the 787 has two lithium-ion batteries — one to provide a surge of current to get the engines started and another to provide backup power in case the main power sources fail.
When he looked at photographs of the 787′s lithium-ion battery, he saw that it is actually eight notebook sized batteries all packed next to each other in a closed box. This means that only the batteries on the ends have any hope of venting the heat they generate. The other six batteries just heat each other up since they can't release their heat outside the box.
Sadoway did not have access to investigators' details, however, based on what he saw, he urged Boeing to create vents within the box so the batteries could dissipate heat.
He also argued that Boeing should put temperature sensors on each of the eight batteries and implement a "system of forced airflow" inside the box to help assure that the temperature of each battery would stay below a threshold level.
Sadoway estimated that these changes to the design of the lithium-ion battery would add to its cost. Instead of $1,000 per battery, the cost might rise to $2,000. But that cost would be "peanuts" compared to the $207 million retail price of the 787.
And reports out Thursday suggest that Boeing engineers are thinking about a redesign of the 787′s lithium-ion batteries that appear to reflect Sadoway's ideas.
For example, The Wall Street Journal reports that Boeing is "looking at increasing the separation between cells in the lithium-ion batteries to reduce the potential hazards from heat or fire spreading within the batteries and adding enhanced heat-sensors."
These ideas are consistent with Sadoway's approach. For example, physically separating each of the cells would make it easier to vent the heat that each one generates. And the idea of enhanced heat sensors could mean that Boeing could implement a battery control system that would sense if the cells' temperature was rising above a threshold level and take action to stop the batteries for burning up.
The Journal also reports that Boeing is also "considering ways to keep cells more rigid, preventing them from shifting under certain conditions and interfering with electronics."
And a report from Thursday's New York Times suggests that Boeing is working on working "more solid containment cases and better venting mechanisms in the event of overheating."
This sounds like an improvement. In a February 7 interview, Sadoway said, "these are steps in the right direction. I'd add forced ventilation or maybe a liquid cooling system."
It is not clear whether Boeing will make those additions. And even if it does, unless Boeing can stop the problem of thermal runaway – a chemical reaction in which a rising temperature causes progressively hotter temperatures — the 787s will not be safe.
Moreover, Thursday, the New York Times reported that the head of the National Transportation Safety Board is suggesting that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) failed when it decided to let the 787 fly.
After all, NTSB chair, Deborah Hersman noted that the FAA approved the 787 for flight because Boeing convinced it the lithium-ion battery would only burn up once every 10 million flight hours. In fact, "the batteries overheated and smoked twice last month, and caused one fire, after fewer than 100,000 hours of commercial flights," reported the Times.
While the cause of the fires has yet to be determined, the Times reports that Boeing has a Plan B — tasking engineers to use more conventional batteries in case regulators ban the lithium-ion ones. And the alternatives they consider should include the one that Sadoway recommended — a safer, but less powerful Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery.
Sadoway reckoned that this NiMH battery would have to be 50% heavier — perhaps 37 more pounds — representing 0.01% of the 787′s 502,500 pound weight in order to deliver sufficient current to the 787.
As Sadoway suggested, using a new battery would require Boeing to order Thales, the French company that makes the 787′s electrical system part of which controls the lithium-ion battery, to develop a new control system that would work for the NiMH battery. Sadoway thinks that could take a year to design, build, test, and make safe to fly.
Based on Sadoway's insights on the 787 battery, perhaps he should be heading up the team that is working on this problem.
However, it is easier to solve the technical problem of how to power the 787 than it is to change the actions and culture of Boeing — the company that managed to convince regulators and customers that its flawed lithium-ion batteries made the 787 safe to fly.

|Small Press Expo '97
In September 1997 I attended the fourth annual Small Press Expo here in Montgomery County, Maryland; this report was written almost immediately thereafter, though I've revised it slightly for the Web, and there are now a few additions updating it to May, 2000, indicated by this green text. (If it's not green on your browser, I'm afraid there's a compatibility problem.) Further updates in this shade of green are from 2008. And this is 2015.
By the way, if you click on any of the cover images you'll get a larger version.
By the way, if you click on any of the cover images you'll get a larger version.
In 1997 the SPX moved from a grouchy, uncomfortable hotel in Bethesda to a much nicer one in Silver Spring, and the number of exhibitors was noticeably higher. Overall attendance was up, as well, but that was less obvious in the larger, more spread-out facility. SPX 1998 was back in Bethesda and even bigger.
And the Small Press Expo is still going, a regular annual event.
The whole purpose of the SPX is to give readers a chance to see what cool stuff is out there that they hadn't found elsewhere. The web makes this less useful than it used to be. Here's what I found.
First, let me mention two titles that I was already buying, but which definitely deserve notice:
I told you it was hard to describe. And by the way, I have no clue why it's called RAGMOP.
Be warned, if you go looking for it -- it's changed publishers and the numbering has started over, but the story hasn't. If you get the new #1, even if you read the summary inside the front cover, even though it says it's an origin issue, you're likely to be somewhat lost at first. Stick with it. It's worth it. It's one of the funniest things I've ever read. Sometimes the political stuff goes a bit too far over the top for my liking (even though I pretty much agree with Walton's politics), but it's a forgiveable flaw in a work this brilliant.
(It helps, by the way, if you have an encyclopedic knowledge of American pop culture (which I do); there are lots of references and in-jokes.)
Alas, RAGMOP is cancelled and gone. It never found the audience it deserved.
A complete collected and expanded version was published in trade paperback in November of 2006; with any luck you should be able to track down a copy. Ask at your local comic shop.
Yes, when Count Dracula has a property rights dispute over the ownership of an abandoned mansion, or a slime-trailing swamp monster is charged with littering, or the mother of the Anti-Christ sues the Devil for child support, who handles the case? Wolff & Byrd, attorneys at law. Alanna Wolff is the high-pressure courtroom star of the firm, Jeff Byrd the conciliatory dealmaker, and Mavis their long-suffering and indispensible secretary. (Mavis has a last name, but I don't remember it right now.)
I don't think I've ever laughed as hard at WOLFF AND BYRD as I have at the best parts of RAGMOP, but I definitely get plenty of smiles out of it. There's an air of authenticity to it -- creator Batton Lash is a real lawyer, I'm pretty sure. Confused clients, hostile judges, personal entanglements, inopportune interruptions all remind me of real life, even if the clients tend to be monsters. Most stories are complete in one issue (in fact, some issues include multiple stories), but there are ongoing subplots, including romantic entanglements for Byrd and Wolff (not with each other). (There's also an official Wolff and Byrd Website, by the way.) WOLFF AND BYRD is still going strong, but under a new title: SUPERNATURAL LAW.
Good stuff, both of 'em. Both come out pretty reliably and are into double digits for number of issues -- WOLFF AND BYRD also has collections of back issues available. Both feature nice, clean black-and-white art, somewhat cartoony without being silly. Lash is a good artist; Walton's better than good. Check 'em out.
Now for the new stuff:
Alas, there never was a second issue, but creator Cliff Chiang went on to a successful career at DC Comics.
Incidentally, I've just discovered the Official Forty Winks Website.
The original FORTY WINKS series wrapped up, but spin-offs are still promised, and one mini-series has appeared.
Other spin-offs have followed. Check out the Forty Winks website.
Well, no, that website is gone, but the Murder Can Be Fun Library was still there last I looked.
If you aren't a fan of true crime stories, this is not for you. Skip ahead to my next mini-review; you don't want this.
On the other hand, if you do find an awful fascination in tales of death and dismemberment, check it out. We have here the true-life tales of Ed Kemper (at least nine murders; still alive, serving multiple life sentences), John Frazier (sentenced to death on five counts of murder, but commuted to life; still alive), Herbert Mullin (killed thirteen; also serving life in prison), Theodore Durrant (murdered two girls; hanged 1898), Gertrude Baniszewski (only killed one, but under circumstances that made her crime the basis of one of the most intense horror novels ever written; served twenty years and is now alive and free), and William Herbert Wallace (almost certainly murdered his wife, but was acquitted; died of kidney failure shortly after, though). The presentation varies -- straight comics, illustrated prose, illustrated verse (!). For Wallace we have two parallel versions of the story -- one telling it as if he were innocent, the other as if he did in fact kill her. It's clever, mostly well-done, with a sort of deadpan sardonicism I find very appropriate for something like this. It's not great art, but it's an amusement and I don't regret buying it.
But I'm a sicko.
I really wanted to link to a Website about these, or to provide a maillink to Hetherington, but couldn't find much -- apparently she's not online.
She is now -- check it out. ...and she appears to be gone again, but you can find Eternally Yours: Illustrated Stories of Eternal Romance, a collection of the stories, as well as some other stuff on Amazon.
It turns out to contain a parody of the "death of Superman" sequence from a couple of years back. What this means is that I bought a Lethargic Lad trade paperback in which Lethargic Lad himself is presumed dead for all but three pages...
It's funny anyway. A lot of the humor depends upon familiarity with superhero comics, including familiarity with the specific story being parodied, but it is funny.
And it's not just Lethargic Lad (a superhero who doesn't actually do anything; the stories depend on other characters reacting to him). There's also Guy-With-A-Gun (as introduced by Hay-Man), the Zit, the Grad (a Crow parody), and Him. I think Hay-Man's intro may be the single funniest page, but there's a lot of giggles here. There are also pages that fall flat, gags that don't work... but hey, it's fun. The gang of supervillains where one of them is slow picking up his cue is a classic gag.
You can get a taste from the Lethargic Web Page.
And that's the lot.
You may notice these reviews are all positive. Well, yeah -- I didn't buy anything unless I was pretty sure I was going to like it. And if I had, I might not mention it here -- why make life difficult for some poor guy who's trying to pursue his dream? Small press comics don't make much money for anyone; they're labors of love. I'm not going to fault someone for doing something he loves, even if it's not to my taste.
So the stuff above is what I considered the cream of the crop. Check 'em out.
Addendum: December 5, 1997:
The above was written shortly after the SPX; in preparing it for this Webpage, though, I came across a few other items that I want to mention:
The theme for this particular issue, by the way, is snakes -- two of the four stories involve our scaly friends. Hence the cover. And I should probably mention that while some parents might have reservations (there is a one-panel scene on the set of a porno movie), my (then) thirteen-year-old daughter liked this comic a lot.
Naturally, with something that size they aren't all winners, but there's a lot of very cool stuff in here, and it's definitely worth a look. It was available at comics shops all over North America, and you may still be able to find it at one in your area.
Well, you probably can't find it now, except as a back issue somewhere.
And that's it for comics reviews; there's a lot of nifty stuff being done in comics these days that's neither the tedious rehashing of super-powered battles nor the lurid absurdity of the old undergrounds, but partaking of the best of both worlds. You can find this stuff at the better comic book shops. There's a lot of information on line, too -- I'm only going to provide one link for now, as a starter, but seek and ye shall find.
For those who somehow stumbled in here by accident -- hi! I'm Lawrence Watt-Evans. I'm the author of more than three dozen novels and over a hundred short stories, as well as innumerable articles, comic scripts, poems, and other miscellany. This is my personal website, the Misenchanted Page; the name is a reference to my bestselling novel The Misenchanted Sword.
Page created: September 1997
