Devoid of a useful Ford E-100 Econoline oxygen sensor in your vehicle, injection is not going to function as effectively as planned. The exhaust regulation found on your Ford E-100 Econoline is reliant on the oxygen sensor. The sensor is important in continuing to keep any powerplant operating properly and also helps minimize the environmental effects of these emissions.
Your Ford E-100 Econoline's oxygen sensor exists for correct correction of the quantity of fuel moved directly into the engine via the automotive computer on your vehicle. In your exhaust pipe-that's where you can locate this specific sensing unit on your Ford E-100 Econoline. When the onboard computer can't obtain precise air/fuel mixture information simply because the oxygen sensor will not function, then you're guaranteed to go through lethargic performance and subpar mileage from your ride. When the oxygen sensor of your Ford E-100 Econoline becomes too damaged or worn-out, then it's about time that you swapped out it with a fresh unit.
Don't settle for second-rate Ford E-100 Econoline oxygen sensor choices that are available cheap. Here at Parts Train, you will acquire top-of-the-line sensors that are not going to affect your funds. Fear not concerning quality whenever you have to get anything from our list-we can ensure that you're in great hands since our goods are supplied by reliable brand names like SNG Sensors, Motorcraft, or AC Delco. We provide you with rapid delivery to ensure that you get hold of your order without delay.

Lovin' My Lawn!
Cutting the grass high is extremely important for fescue lawns like mine. When you cut the grass short it causes two things to happen: it limits the length of the grass's root system and it allows weeds to see the sun. All plants like sunlight, some more than others, and most lawn weeds think it's the best thing since sliced bread! Chickweed, henbit, ragweed, thistle, and dandelions all love the sun. That's not to say that weeds won't grow underneath the shade of the grass but they will grow less vigorously which can mean the difference between controlling your weeds and an outbreak of unwanted invaders. Cutting the grass high definitely limits the light the weeds receive while allowing the grass to form a more established root system. It also encourages the roots to grow deep which makes the grass more drought tolerant since it can reach the water under the soil's surface. Most of the time I have the mower on one of the top two deck height settings. In the summer this is especially important. Grass will grow at the same rate no matter how high you cut it so the old myth that you will have to cut it more often is just that, a myth.
Fall overseeding isn't a secret but I can't figure out why more people don't do it. Overseeding thickens the lawn by adding more seed during the cool season in the fall. The grass germinates and sends down roots where they will continue to grow through the cold season. When spring comes the grass is ready to flush out with new growth invigorated by the root system it began establishing in the fall.
To me these are two of the most important techniques for maintaining a fescue lawn. One more quick tip, never mow the lawn when it doesn't need it! Every summer I see people out mowing their lawns in the middle of dry spells (most likely out of habit). Maybe they just need something to do? Maybe they are trying to raise the price of gas in America? If the grass isn't growing it doesn't need mowing!

I don't have fescue, but I second the advice to mow high! It has made a world of difference in the health and drought-tolerance of our lawn. We live in Mississippi and didn't water a single time last year.ReplyDelete
Your lawn is BEAUTIFUL!
I would be loving that lawn too Dave. Thanks for the great tips on how to have a nice grassy area without destroying the environment in the process.ReplyDelete
Very nice. It is a green time of the year for the yard. Not too hot, not too frozen. Thanks for the tips.ReplyDelete
This gives me hope. We have a new lawn, sod, that was installed in early October. It's still pretty soggy after all our rain and snow. Biggest tip: give it time!ReplyDelete
Your turf looks good. We have bermuda, so cutting time is still a month or more away.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this very informative post! I used to work for a company that cut grass. Customers would call and ask us to cut their lawns shorter; I could tell them about the benefits of not cutting short until I was blue in the face, but some people are just insistant about doing things their own way.ReplyDelete
It sure looks nice! Ours is FULL of moss right now. That's one job I leave to my husband.ReplyDelete
Hi Dave, I am already planning to add spring beauties to my lawn...but it looks nice and green right now. Thanks for the care tips...I will overseed in the fall and mow high only when needed! I've a new Gail powered reel mower with heigh adjustment. Very exciting!ReplyDelete
Your lawn looks beautiful to me. We always have patchy lawn at this time of year. It will fill in though. I always have a few trouble spots.
Good green-lawn advice, Dave. Lawn isn't my strong suit, but I live in a rural locale and and tend to encourage the clover and dandelions, and not to mow too often just because. I'm going to point people to this post, though, because you make some wise comments and your lawn does look awesome.ReplyDelete

A child's-eye view of the LCC Downtown Campus
A student from The Big Little School nonprofit preschool drew a rendering of the Lane Community College Downtown Campus construction site after a presentation by Randy Nishimura, AIA, CCS, of Robertson|Sherwood|Architects pc. The view is from the Eugene Public Library.
"Chase clearly drew the tower crane lifting a load, as well as the shoring for the PT deck formwork that is still in place," said Nishimura. "All of the kids were fascinated by the activity on site. I got a kick out of seeing the project from their point of view."
For more about the visit, read Nishimura's blog.

Hey y'all! Sorry I've been absent. But this has TRULY been an overwhelming year ALREADY!!!
Production for the video podcast series is well underway. However, I'll not be making them viewable until I have a substantial amount to distribute. Hopefully then Brian, Mark & Bob will be interested enough to put them wherever they see fit.
I have been having a few computer issues that have greatly slowed the post production. BUT, that will all be rectified soon.
Thanks for your patience.
Also, as I mentioned before, there will be some fund raising going on VERY soon to benefit childhood obesity. There will be a tour bus involved that will make stops in several cities around the country. We're currently trying to make Detroit one of those cities. If you want to try to help make that happen, get back with me or Charlene Oesterling (she's on my friends list here). We figured that since music and dancing are synonymous, why not try to get some musicians on board? Maybe put some tunes on a fund raising cd project or a live show in Detroit in conjunction with the Zike company and the tour bus.
Whadaya say?
Brian, Mark and Bob, hope you read this.
Either myself or Charlene will be happy to provide more precise details.
Stay tuned!
Also, for anyone in or around the Flint area, we're shooting video tonight for Spiral Crush at The Machine Shop.
Hope to see you there or hear from you all soon.
Be well and groovy.

These are good quality beads. Only reason not 5 stars across the board is the color wasn't my favorite but the quality of the beads is good. In fairness, color was as described. I was making some earring for someone who likes pink so thinking she will enjoy them!

Spears Gallery to host annual Clay Day on Aug. 4
For nearly a decade and a half, Clay Day has been an annual tradition for potter Larry Spears. Held at Spears Gallery on the first Saturday in August, this one day mini-workshop continues to offer the public an opportunity to-do raku. "One of the translations of raku is 'happiness through chance,'" says Spears. "I like that translation because it defines the surprise aspect of it (raku)." The raku glazes and firing process can create an exciting range of color, a variety of surface interest, and many one-of-a-kind pieces.
Mr. Spears, (along with fellow potters), will offer several sizes and shapes of thrown and bisque-fired raku ware, to be glazed and decorated by anyone with an artistic desire to do so. Following glazing each piece, the potters will place the glazed pieces in raku kilns, with a firing time ranging from 20 to 30 minutes. The pottery is then removed from the kiln, while still glowing red, and placed in a container filled with various combustible materials. The material instantly ignites and the potters proceed with the "reduction" aspect of the firing process, by covering the containers and cutting off the oxygen supply to the piece. The piece is then submersed in a water bath to cool, and lastly cleaned.
The small bisque ware pieces will be offered for $20.00, with larger pieces available for $40.00. (The cost includes the bisque ware, glazes, and firing) Reservations are not necessary and all supplies will be furnished. Throwing demonstrations will also be ongoing throughout the day.
This years' event is Saturday, August 4, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The annual Clay Day is hosted by Spears Gallery, (5110 St. Rd. 135 South, Nashville) located in scenic southern Brown County, Indiana; just 7 miles off of Indiana State Road 46, on Indiana State Road 135 South, (just beyond the Horseman's Camp entrance to Brown County State Park and on your way to Story). For additional information call (812) 988-1287, or e-mail; email@example.com or visit www.spearspottery.com.

Did you see Sharknado last night????? Of course you did. It was quite possible the greatest piece of cinema ever created.
Well, the boys from Fan Interference didn't see it either… But they talked about it… and it was hilarious.

Water Cybersecurity: Encrypt, Encrypt, Encrypt!
No cybersecurity program is 100 percent secure. To expand that thought, no electronic communication can be 100 percent secure. Any vendor that publicizes or offers a guarantee should be immediately looked at with skepticism. However, as system owners and operators, it is your responsibility and that of your colleagues to reduce the attack vectors in your system to the point that it requires too many resources for potential adversaries to continue looking for vulnerabilities – whereas they can find an easier target elsewhere.
All too often, water system owners are still using legacy communication methods and devices to connect remote sites to central water plants, thus leaving an open pathway to remotely exploit. I have personally visited numerous public water systems within the Western United States that still do not encrypt any data or communications between sites. In fact, compromising a SCADA system is as easy as knowing the correct dial up phone number to call.
When thinking about connecting and communication security, several action items should be addressed:
- Regardless of the method of remote site connection – whether it is a satellite, modem, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi, all data needs to be encrypted. There is simply no excuse to use open communication channels. Competitively priced options exist that can facilitate immediate upgrades to incorporate secure, encrypted communications between sites. Stay away from the lowest cost options and unproven technologies.
- Use secure, public key encryption architecture (or device vendor) that has been peer reviewed with a good track record of managing vulnerabilities, history of operation, reliability, redundancy, transparency, and adhering to accepted industry standards.
- Stop using spreadsheets (or other easily compromised manual solutions) to manage credentials. I have frequently seen spreadsheets taped under the keyboard at water plants with an easily viewable list of passwords. A reliable, reputable communication and data system should be able to easily accommodate user and device management with strong password requirements and the ability to scale as system requirements change. Multifactor authentication including additional fields, key fobs, or OTP passwords using items such as Yubikeys can be implemented for additional security.
- Partner with reputable vendors and providers of cybersecurity and encryption technology and devices. Cybersecurity is generally not a core business product for a water system. Regardless of the amount of effort, a water system will never be able to allocate enough time and financial/personnel resources to create an "in house" solution that exceeds what can be commercially purchased through a dedicated provider of industrial connectivity devices.
Every water system owner wants to deliver safe potable water in a reliable method, while meeting the requirements of both state and federal regulators. Failure to encrypt communications can potentially open an attack vector to compromise the ability of a system owner to provide safe, potable water. Upgrading or enabling secure, encrypted communications between remote water sites and a central plant may prevent an unscheduled service disruption and further add to the integrity of the system. When in doubt, encrypt it out!

I agree with Nathan Tenny. A Mamiya 7 is probably your best bet but will cost you a fortune. Anything you buy is going to be a compromise.
How about buying another 35mm camera for portability and a used 4x5 field camera for landscapes. You could even buy a medium format roll film back for the 4x5 if you wish for even more versatility.

By the time you are working within this section of the course, you have probably completed assignments in at least one or possibly two "modes," though you may not have thought of them as that. So before going further, it is appropriate to discuss these "modes" and what they are.
A mode is a pattern of writing, or in even more basic terms, it's one of various ways to try to understand any topic or issue or problem. Put in yet different terms, the modes are fairly typical thinking or problem-solving patterns that people, over centuries, have discovered. In a writing class, of course we deal with modes in written form, but even before they were writing devices, they were--and are still--thinking devices. Given almost any issue, someone familiar with the modes can approach that issue in any of many ways in the effort to understand it better.
That person can think of examples of the issue or topic, for instance. That's the illustrative mode, in which you examine a topic by discussing general situations in which that topic occurs. For example, if the topic is grieving over the loss of a loved one, a way to explore that topic is to examine several different such situations of loss. Or a person can try to understand an issue or situation better by telling one long story about it; that's the narrative mode. Yet again, a writer can approach a topic by discussing several logical reasons which support some opinion about the topic. This is called the persuasive mode, and it is particularly suitable for arguing for a particular position on some issue on which there are several widely-held opinions.
There are other modes as well. The person, or writer, can deal with a topic, for instance the topic of racial bias, by discussing causes of racial bias; that's using the "cause" mode; or if the writer discusses consequences of racial bias, that's using the "effect" mode. If the writer discusses bigotry in the context of its opposite, racial tolerance, then he or she is using the comparison/contrast mode. Any of these modes is just another way to better understand a given topic. One of the main purposes of this class is to help you learn to both think and write using several different modes.
Definition of Classification
Continuing with the same hypothetical topic of racial bias, this imaginary writer might decide to explore that topic by breaking it down into its individual parts. In doing that, the writer is using the "classification" mode.
So to classify something, you break it into its parts. Why? Well, did you ever take something apart, when you were a kid, to understand it better? Or did you know somebody who did? They were dividing and classifying, and their purpose was to understand their topic better.
Features of the Classification Mode
Here are some of the major features of this mode of writing. Read this section carefully and refer back to it frequently while writing your classification essay.
The reason there are many different ways to form categories is that there are many different possible Principles of Classification (which I will often refer to as the "P of C"). The P of C is the logic according to which you slice your pie (make your categories), and a different P of C will not only result in different categories, but can show you different things about a topic.
This is best understood with an example. If I say to you, "Okay, I want you to classify all cars made in the U.S..," most people would probably come up with three categories: Ford, GM, and Chrysler. That's fine, but in doing this most people would unconsciously be using a certain Principle of Classification: one that chooses categories ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER. That's valid, but there's an important point that's easy to miss, and that point is that if you aren't consciously aware of what P of C you're using, you never think about other possible ones to use which might be much more useful. (In fact, the best classification essays are the ones which take advantage of unique or unlikely Principles of Classification.)
Once you've realized that other ways to slice the pie are possible, you may come up with a wide range of options you didn't see before: U.S. cars classified according to mileage; or according to performance; or according to reliability; -or according to passenger comfort; or according to looks; or probably according to any of a dozen other Principles. Any one of these is just as valid an answer to the classification assignment imagined above.
Another, worse effect of not being consciously aware of your P of C is that if you're not, you may mix one P of C with another, with disastrous effects. Suppose, by not consciously noting your original P of C above, you come up with these categories: Ford, GM, and Chevy.
There's a problem here, but would you catch it? The problem is that Chevy is part of GM, so how can it be a category equal to GM? Well, it can't. This would be a useless piece of writing, made worse by the additional problem that Chrysler got left out altogether.
Three Rules of Classifying
This brings us to three rules of classifying:
(1) ALWAYS USE A CONSISTENT PRINCIPLE OF CLASSIFICATION. Don't start with one and unconsciously switch in mid-essay to another. In the above example, Ford and GM are categories chosen according to manufacturer, while Chevy was chosen according to model--which is a subset of manufacturer, just like an English class is a subset of a Bachelor of Arts degree.
(2) ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR CATEGORIES DON'T OVERLAP IN ANY SIGNIFICANT WAY. If you screw up #1 above, you usually screw up #2 here also, just as, by unconsciously shifting from a Manufacturer P of C to a Model P of C, you had an entire category (Chevy) which didn't just overlap, but was completely contained within another category (GM).
On the other hand, sometimes the only way to get away from a little overlap is by making some fairly artificial boundaries between categories. In certain topics, that's okay. I'm talking about topics which by their nature don't divide obviously into separate categories but instead tend to form a spectrum or continuum. Members of these types of topics change only slightly by degrees, though these degrees ultimately add up to a lot.
Again, this is clearer with an example. If U.S. cars are classed by manufacturer, the category boundaries jump right out: three manufacturers whose cars are visually and otherwise different from one another. But if the cars are reclassified by mileage, the boundaries are not so clean-cut. In fact, I can make just about as many categories as I want. If I want three, I might make one of less than 20 mpg (miles per gallon), a second of 20-30 mpg, and a third of over 30 mpg. Or I could have many categories for every 5 mpg of change. See what I mean? Keep this different type of P of C in mind. It's neither better nor worse, just different.
(3) NEVER LEAVE OUT ANY SIGNIFICANT MEMBERS OF THE OVERALL GROUP WHEN MAKING YOUR CATEGORIES. This is the rule which really separates a classification essay from, say, an example essay. In an example essay about racial bias, to go back to that sample topic, I'm free to talk about several features of racial bias, for instance. I choose interesting examples of features of racial bias and discuss them. But in a classification essay along those same lines, I have to discuss ALL the features of racial bias--or at least all the MAIN features of it--or else I haven't truly classified it; I've written an example essay which I'm falsely calling a classification essay.
When I say you must deal with all MAIN or SIGNIFICANT members of the overall group, that is an important word to note. You can't leave out obviously crucial categories and still say you have a true classification, but many times there will be several really important categories and a whole slew of minor ones, or at least several minor ones which you really don't need to discuss, or want to discuss. There are two ways to handle this situation: by NARROWING YOUR TOPIC or using a DISCLAIMER.
Choosing to classify racial bias according to its MAIN characteristics while leaving out minor characteristics is, in itself, an example of narrowing a topic. Another example would be to classify racial bias YOU HAVE WITNESSED according to its main characteristics. Yet another example would be to classify it IN ODESSA, or ON THE OC CAMPUS, according to its main features, or according to its main victims, or whatever.
A disclaimer has even a more specific focus than a narrowing of topic. An example of using a disclaimer would be classifying cars made in the U.S. according to manufacturer, but leaving out Toyota and Honda on the grounds that even though these manufacturers do have plants in the U.S.., they are not truly U.S. car manufacturers. A disclaimer names specific categories that will not be discussed, tells why they're being left out, and generally is used when the writer anticipates being questioned by the reader as to why such-and-such a category is missing.
Choosing and Wording a Principle of Classification
Let's move back for a moment to the more basic procedure of simply figuring out how to word your P of C. The most straightforward approach is to write something like, "I'm going to classify [state your overall group] ACCORDING TO [state your P of C]." The key words in this pattern are "according to." An equally effective substitute for these key words is "on the basis of." And there are no doubt other equally good substitutes. The important thing is to explicitly, plainly state your gauge or yardstick which you're using to choose categories, rather than proceeding unconsciously with some Principle of Classification. Usually, if you proceed unconsciously, the P of C you use will be the most obvious one, meaning you are overlooking many other possibilities which, because they are less obvious and less familiar, could help you learn much more about the topic than the obvious Principle of Classification.
One last point about classifications concerns the relationship of the P of C to the thesis of the essay. Remember, your thesis consists of your OPINION about your topic. Another way to think of a thesis is that it states the PURPOSE of your essay, its MAIN POINT. Usually, the P of C in a classification essay is the thesis (though not always). If the purpose of the essay is clear in the P of C, then that P of C is also your thesis.
For example, if you're going to classify cars according to mileage, your purpose and thesis are quite clear: you want to know what cars get the best mileage. If you classify racial bias on the OC campus according to where it happens, your purpose is still fairly clear: you probably want to know how serious of a problem it is, and where it is most serious, so something can be done about it in those areas.
However, consider this example: suppose I say I'm going to classify students in my classroom according to where they sit. What's my thesis, my purpose? Do I really just want to know how many students sit where? More likely, that P of C is hiding a covert thesis--not intentionally, perhaps, but hiding it nonetheless. I might well have the purpose of trying to seek some connection between seating choice and grade performance. If I do, I either need to reword my P of C to more accurately reflect my true purpose--my thesis--or else add a thesis right after the P of C which states that purpose. In fact, a full-fledged thesis, which might come only at the conclusion of a classification essay, would go so far as to state not only my purpose, but my conclusion as to whether there is a traceable link between seating choice and grade performance: yes there is, or no there isn't. As far as how to handle this less visible purpose while stating the Principle of Classification, one approach is to write "I'm going to classify [state your overall group] ACCORDING TO [state your P of C] for the purpose of [state your purpose, your thesis]."

Kurt Waldemar Tank (February 24, 1898 – June 5, 1983) was a German aeronautical engineer and test pilot who led the design department at Focke-Wulf from 1931 to 1945. He was responsible for the creation of several important Luftwaffe aircraft of World War II, including the Fw 190 fighter aircraft, the Ta 152 fighter-interceptor and the Fw 200 Condor airliner.[1][2] After the war, Tank spent two decades designing aircraft abroad, working first in Argentina and then in India, before returning to Germany in the late 1960s to work as a consultant for Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB).[3]
Early life[edit]
Tank was born in Bromberg (Bydgoszcz), Province of Posen. His grandfather was a cavalry sergeant in the Uhlans and his father, Willi Tank, was a grenadier sergeant in the 3rd Division.[4] When World War I broke out Tank wished to join the Deutsches Heer's then-named Fliegertruppe air service, but his father insisted he instead follow the family tradition and enlist in the cavalry. He ended the war as a captain, with many decorations for bravery.
After the war, Tank graduated from the Technical University of Berlin in 1923. A mentor from the university secured him his first job, in the design department of Rohrbach Metallflugzeug GmbH, where he worked on flying boats and assisted in the design of the passenger aircraft, the Ro VIII Roland.
Tank moved to the famous World War I firm, Albatros Flugzeugwerke, where he worked as a test pilot. The Albatros company went bankrupt in 1929 and in 1931, under government pressure, was merged with Focke-Wulf. Tank then started work on the design of the Fw 44 Stieglitz (Goldfinch), a two-seat civilian biplane. It was Focke-Wulf's first commercially successful design, launched in 1934. This led to burgeoning growth for the company as Hitler began to prepare the country for war.
In 1936 Tank designed the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor to a Deutsche Luft Hansa specification. The first flight was in July 1937 after just under one year of development with Tank at the controls. The Condor made a famous non-stop flight from Berlin to New York in 1938, proving the concept of transatlantic air travel.[2] The Condor would later be used as a maritime patrol bomber aircraft of some repute during the war.
World War II[edit]
The Fw 190 Würger (Shrike), first flying in 1939 and produced from 1941 to 1945, was a mainstay Luftwaffe single-seat fighter during World War II, and Tank's most widely produced (over 20,000) and famous design. In January 1943, he was named honorary Professor with a chair at the Technical University of Braunschweig, in recognition of his services to the development of flight.
Kurt Tank and his wife often had dinner with Dr Ludwig Roselius and Barbara Goette. Roselius was the majority shareholder of Focke-Wulf through Café HAG. ITT was the second largest shareholder. Barbara witnessed Tank excitedly talking about the latest design developments for Focke-Wulf aircraft.[5]
In 1944, the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (German Air Ministry) decided that new fighter aircraft designations must include the chief designer's name. Kurt Tank's new designs were therefore given the prefix Ta. His most notable late-war design was the Ta 152, a continuation of the Fw 190 design.
After the war Tank negotiated with the United Kingdom, the Nationalist government of China, and representatives of the Soviet Union; when the negotiations proved unsuccessful, he accepted an offer from Argentina to work at its aerotechnical institute, the Instituto Aerotécnico in Córdoba under the name of (Prof. Dr.) Pedro Matthies. The British government decided not to offer him a contract on the grounds that he was too important, and they could not see how he could be integrated into an existing research project or design group.[6]
He moved to Córdoba, with many of his Focke-Wulf co-workers, in 1947. One of these was Ronald Richter, who intended to power airplanes with nuclear energy, to be developed in the Huemul Project, which was later proven to be a fraud according to some and a visionary according to others (see The New Yorker, Mar 3, 2014: Energy for Everyone Forever).
The Instituto Aerotécnico later became Argentina's military aeroplane factory, the Fábrica Militar de Aviones. There, he designed the IAe Pulqui II based on the Focke-Wulf Ta 183 design that had reached mock-up stage by the end of the war. It was a state-of-the-art design for its day, but the project was axed after the fall of Peron (1959). When President Juan Perón fell from power in 1955 the ex-Focke-Wulf team dispersed, many going to India; Tank also moved to India. First he worked as Director of the Madras Institute of Technology, where one of his students was Abdul Kalam (later Kalam became President of India and designed indigenous satellite launch vehicles and missiles). Kurt Tank later joined Hindustan Aeronautics, where he designed the Hindustan Marut fighter-bomber, the first military aircraft constructed in India. The first prototype flew in 1961; the Marut was retired from active service in 1985. Tank left Hindustan Aeronautics in 1967 and by the 1970s had returned to live in Berlin, basing himself in Germany for the rest of his life. He worked as a consultant for MBB.[7] He died in Munich in 1983.

Trans 101: Cisgender
You may have heard the word cisgender before, but you may not know what it means. Cisgender is a term used to describe people who, for the most part, identify as the gender they were assigned at birth. For example, if a doctor said "it's a boy!" when you were born, and you identify as a man, then you could be described as cisgender. In other words, 'cisgender' is used to describe people who are not transgender.
So why do we say 'cisgender' instead of 'non-transgender'? Because, referring to cisgender people as 'non trans' implies that cisgender people are the default and that being trans is abnormal. Many people have said 'transgender people' and 'normal people', but when we say 'cisgender' and 'transgender' neither is implied as more normal than the other.
Using the word 'cisgender' is also an educational tool. To simply define people as 'non-trans' implies that only transgender people have a gender identity. But that's not true. Like sexual orientation, race, class, and many other identities, all of us have a gender identity.
Language is important; it defines human relationships. That is why it's important to use language of equality and inclusion. We'll be covering this and a whole lot more in a trans ally education session at our upcoming trans justice summit. Register today!

One of my daughters was extremely apprehensive about water and would cry through the entire swim lesson. Ms. Connie earned her trust and slowly got her to blow bubbles, put her face in the water and even jump into the pool from the side. I was so impressed with Connie's patience and teaching skills and I am grateful that she was able to help my little girl through her fear. Thank You!

Toby had a great swimming summer this year attributed to all the lessons he has with Miss Cindy who is such a great teacher. Toby was most impressed that he could finally go on water slides on our vacation because he can swim all by himself. He had so much fun in the water and we knew he was a lot safer because of his swimming level. It made it a great summer for us all.
— Selina
I would recommend SafeSplash to anyone. There is no comparison between their teaching and other options around town. We were previously enrolled at the local rec center and we didn't feel it was a good use of time or money. In just two sessions with SafeSplash my son can now actually swim!

Things did not get extremely cold here.
Yes, it got cold, but the cold was no worse than it has been in previous winters. We haven't dropped below 0ºF, which we have done a time or two in the past.
We haven't had lots of snow, which we've also had in the past.
And the ice we got was negligible – something I can't say for previous years.
With the winter-proofing and such I've been doing to my house over the years, the coldest it now gets indoors is about 40ºF – that's when the outside temp is 6ºF and the windchills are well below zero. Caulking, weather-stripping, blankets, carpet over the interior of the doors, threshold gaskets, and plastic over the windows makes a tremendous difference.
With the heated sofa (an electric mattress pad under a sofa cover, with blankets on top), it was warm enough to leave Xoco and Nigel at home this year.
In past years, when the weather was bad, I brought all the dogs to work with me, just in case, because the interior of the house would get down into the 20's. It's chilly, but not deadly now.
Xoco adores being left at home. She really doesn't like going anywhere at all. She loves car rides and loves going to drive-thrus for snacks (the Gyro Place is her all time favorite because she not only loves Gyro meat, she now recognizes and loves the man who runs the little gyro stand and he loves her).
Nigel has no choice but to stay home. He is too high energy and hyperactive to take to work with me, too big to fit on top of my desk, plus he will bark. I haven't been able to train him out of that. He barks a lot less than he used to, because neither Itzl nor Xoco bark, but he will still bark, and his voice is deep enough I can hear it (mostly). I have hopes that he will eventually stop barking entirely.
I also have hopes that he will learn his name, learn to sit on command, learn to come when called.
He stays home because he's not well-behaved enough to go out in public.
Itzl accompanies me everywhere.
OK, that's no longer entirely true.
I have a friend who lives on the second floor of a condo with outside steps. Those stairs scare me. They are set so I have to take really large steps to get up them and they feel shaky, as if they will pull away from the top at any minute. The railing is also tenuously attached and jiggles when you hold onto it. I am terrified of carrying Itzl up those stairs, especially when they are covered with ice (I now bring pet friendly ice melt with me because they do not de-ice those stairs), so when I visit her, I will not risk Itzl on those stairs.
When possible, I arrange to meet her elsewhere – the library, the clubhouse at her condos, a coffee shop, the park…
So, on the whole, it's been a pleasant winter so far. A bit chilly, but not unreasonable.
It hasn't been cold enough for long enough to justify a pot of Back Burner Stew. We don't get many winters that mild.

Chlamydial urethritis in men is an infection of the urethra caused by the sexually transmitted infection (STI) chlamydia. The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of your body.
This condition often causes swelling and inflammation of the urethra, accompanied by discharge. However, as with most STIs, men often do not display symptoms. An infected person and all sexual partners must receive treatment for STIs to prevent reinfection.

Causes of Chlamydial Urethritis in Men
Chlamydial urethritis is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is spread through oral, anal, and vaginal sex. Both men and women can develop this common type of infection.
People who have multiple sexual partners are more likely to contract chlamydial urethritis than those who are monogamous. Men who do not practice safe sex also have a higher risk of chlamydial urethritis. Condoms can prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections. People under the age of 24 are also more likely to contract STIs in general including chlamydia (Mayo Clinic, 2011).
Symptoms of Chlamydial Urethritis in Men
Men with chlamydial urethritis may not show symptoms for several weeks after exposure to the bacteria, if they develop any symptoms at all. Symptoms of chlamydia and the related inflammation of the urethra usually occur between one and three weeks after exposure to Chlamydia trachomatis.
Signs of infection include:
- pain or burning during urination
- itching, redness, or swelling of the head of the penis
- discharge from the penis
- painful, swollen testicles
The urethra becomes inflamed during a bout of urethritis, making urination more difficult. Discomfort in the penis is generally limited to the tip, where the urethra ends.
Symptoms of chlamydial urethritis in men can mimic the symptoms of the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea. Gonorrhea and chlamydia infections often occur at the same time, and infected persons may require treatment for both STIs (NIH, 2010).
Diagnosing Chlamydial Urethritis in Men
Your doctor will perform a series of lab tests to diagnose chlamydial urethritis. You will be asked to give a urine sample, which will be tested for the presence of bacteria.
You may also need a urethral discharge culture (swab test) to rule out gonorrhea (which causes symptoms similar to chlamydial urethritis). A technician will swab the head of your penis with alcohol or another sterile agent. Then, he or she will insert a cotton swab into your urethra at the tip of your penis. The discharge or fluids collected will be analyzed to determine the source of your infection.
Treatment for Chlamydial Urethritis in Men
When a man is diagnosed with chlamydial urethritis, both he and his sexual partner(s) must be treated with antibiotics. Treating partners—even if they do not show signs of infection—prevents reinfection. Without proper treatment, sexual partners may continue to pass the bacteria back and forth.
Several antibiotics can eliminate chlamydial urethritis, including:
- tetracyclines
- azithromycin
- erythromycin
- levofloxacin
In most cases, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics for five to 10 days. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that a higher dose (1 gram) of Azithromycin taken once may also be an effective treatment (CDC).
Most infections will resolve within a week or two. During treatment, it is important that you abstain from sex to prevent reinfection.
Complications of Chlamydial Urethritis
It is important to seek treatment for STIs as soon as symptoms occur. Untreated infections can spread and lead to more serious health complications in men, including:
- infection and pain near the testicles
- infection of the prostate gland
- stricture (narrowing of the urethra due to inflammation or infection)
Because men often do not show signs of infection right away, regular screenings for STIs (especially when changing partners or if you have multiple sexual partners) can diagnose STIs even if no symptoms are present.
How to Prevent Chlamydial Urethritis in Men
Men who are sexually active can prevent STIs with safe sex practices. Male and female condoms can greatly reduce the spread of infection. Make sure you use a new condom for each sexual contact. Regular screenings for STIs, including HIV, are important for anyone who is sexually active, and especially for those with multiple partners.

User logged in as Johan
It may be the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen genes who provided the last set of twins.
Marie of H-S, countess of Flanders had a pair of twins, Henriette and Josephine, but Josephine died as a child.
Wilhelm Sovereign Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen had a pair of male twins from his first marriage to Maria Theresa of Bourbon-dos Siciles Friedrich and Franz Joseph.
Other royal twins:
*Louise Elisabeth and Anne Henriette of France, daughters of Louis XV and Marie Leczinska
* Elisabeth Ludovica and Amelie Augusta daughters of Maximilian I of Bavaria and his second wife Karoline of Baden. Both became queen-consorts Elisabeth of Prussia and Amelie of Saxony.

Tree House Design by Safdie Rabines Architects
Since the mid-1990s, recreational tree houses have enjoyed a rise in popularity. They are built among the branches, around or next to the trunk of one or more mature trees, and are raised above the ground. Tree houses can be used for recreation, work space, habitation or as temporary retreats.
Wood is commonly used for structural parts and cladding due to its strength, light weight and low cost. Steel is used for brackets, cables and bolts, including specialized tree bolts capable of supporting up to 6,000 pounds.

"Taps" drifts on the breeze at Arlington National Cemetery on
Memorial Day, as it does most days, while thousands of tourists look for
the graves of President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert, and the
Tomb of the Unknowns.
Visitors are always in a hurry, for Washington is a city of too many
monuments and never enough time.
The tourists step briskly along, most likely bypassing Arlington's first
tombstone; oblivious to the Army general buried there, along with his wife
and two daughters, under a cannon because he'd spent his military career
in the artillery; missing the graves of civil rights martyr Medger Evers
and Supreme Court giant Thurgood Marshall.
They also rush past the Women's Memorial, the mast of the USS Maine, relocated
from the bottom of Havana Harbor after the Spanish-American War, and the memorial
to astronauts who died aboard Challenger.
"I wish Americans would take more time to reflect on what Arlington means
to them," says my friend, a city guide who needs only one question to launch
into an hour of talk about her favorite place.
"The cemetery isn't just for those lost to us, it's a place for remembering,
for memory. Standing on this hill you can see all of our history where
we've been, where we are, who we are.
"It's all about the extraordinary sacrifices that have been made to get us
to today," she adds. "I sit sixth-graders down on the grass and point to
landmarks that link us all the way from George Washington to the Gulf War,
the Custis-Lee Mansion, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol dome. There's
the Vietnam War memorial, the Korean memorial, the Pentagon. The kids are
amazed at all this history and symbolism in one place."
George Washington's adopted stepson began building Arlington House on Martha
Custis Washington's family plantation in 1802. Descendant Mary Custis later
married Robert E. Lee, who, having declined to lead the Union army, wrote
his letter of resignation in the mansion before leaving to head up the
Confederacy's Army of Northern Virginia.
His wife lost her home when the U.S. government refused to accept her $100
in back taxes from a surrogate and ordered her to pay in person. Confined
to a wheelchair, she did not; the plantation was seized to billet Union
soldiers, though later the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Lee's son,
and the government was forced to pay restitution.
Now the Custis-Lee Mansion, the imposing centerpiece of Arlington National
Cemetery is overseen by the National Park Service.
"My favorite place is Section 1," says my friend. "Pvt. William Christman
of Pennsylvania was the first soldier buried here, in 1864; they put him
in Mrs. Lee's rose garden to make sure she wouldn't come back.
"When the war ended in 1865 the vault of the Civil War Unknowns included
soldiers on both sides because burial details sent out to nearby battlefields
sometimes couldn't tell a Rebel from a Yankee. Instead, they just counted
skulls; there are 2,111 in the vault behind the house.
The cemetery also was part of Freedman's Village, where thousands of former
slaves camped following Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1862. The
"temporary refuge" ordered by the government lasted 30 years.
Arlington was divided by race until 1948, when President Harry S Truman
outlawed segregation in the military.
Officers' and enlisted men's graves also were used to be kept apart, but
no more; the most famous generals of World War I, John J. "Black Jack"
Pershing, rests surounded by his men. Gen. George C. Marshall of World
War II fame is interred there with his wife and mother-in-law. Besides
Kennedy, the other president buried at Arlington is William Howard Taft.
Equality in the military had brought female soldiers to their final rest
at Arlington, too.
The 612-acre cemetery is expected to run out of room by 2025. Till then, "no matter how many times I hear 'Taps' played, I still get chills," says my friend. "The newly deceased may not be famous, but anyone qualified to be buried at Arlington deserves to be here."

The glomeruli are structures in your kidneys made up of tiny blood vessels. These knots of vessels help filter blood and remove excess fluid. If your glomeruli are damaged, your kidneys will stop longer work properly, and your body can go into kidney failure. Conditions that damage the glomeruli are collectively referred to as glomerulonephritis (GN).
Glomerulonephritis is a serious illness that can
be life threatening and requires immediate treatment. Sometimes this condition
is called nephritis. There can be both acute (sudden) glomerulonephritis and
chronic (long-term) glomerulonephritis.
There are two categories of glomerulonephritis: acute and chronic.
Acute GN can start in response to an infection such as strep throat or an abscessed tooth. It may be caused by problems with your immune system overreacting to the infection. This may go away on its own without treatment. If it doesn't go away, immediate treatment is necessary to prevent long-term damage to your kidneys. Illnesses that have been known to trigger GN include:
Heavy use of NSAID pain relievers (ibuprofen, naproxen) may also be a risk factor.
The chronic form of GN can develop over several years with no or very few symptoms. This can cause irreversible damage to your kidneys and lead to complete kidney failure.
Chronic GN may sometimes be caused by a genetic disease. Hereditary nephritis occurs in young men with poor vision and poor hearing.
Immune diseases may also cause chronic GN. A history of cancer may also put you at risk. Having the acute form may make you more likely to develop the chronic form later on. Exposure to some hydrocarbon solvents may increase the risk of chronic GN.
Sometimes there is no clear reason why you develop chronic GN. Twenty-five percent of people with the condition have no prior history of kidney disease.
Early symptoms of acute glomerulonephritis include:
Often, the chronic form of glomerulonephritis can creep up without any symptoms. Sometimes there may be slow development of symptoms similar to the acute form. Some symptoms which may occur include:
Your GN may be so advanced that you are developing kidney failure. You may have some of the following symptoms:
The first step in diagnosis is to have a urinalysis test. However, GN is often discovered when you have a routine physical to treat another condition. Blood and protein in the urine during urinalysis are important markers for the disease.
More urine testing may be done to check important signs of kidney health, including:
Blood tests may show anemia (low level of red blood cells), abnormal albumin levels, abnormal blood urea nitrogen, and high creatinine levels.
Immunology testing may also be done to check for things such as:
These are all signs that your immune system may be damaging your kidneys.
A biopsy (a small sample taken with a needle) of the kidneys may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
To learn more about your condition, you may also have scans such as:
Different types of glomerulonephritis have varying causes and may require different treatments.
One of the first focuses of therapy is to control high blood pressure. Blood pressure may be very hard to control when your kidneys are malfunctioning. If this is the case, your doctor may prescribe blood pressure medications, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (i.e. captopril, lisinopril, perindopril, etc.) or angiotensin receptor blockers (i.e. losartan, irbesartan, valsartan, etc.).
Other medications such as corticosteroids may be prescribed reduce your immune response if your immune system is attacking your kidneys.
Another method used to reduce the immune-triggered inflammation is plasmapheresis. The fluid part of the blood (plasma) is removed and replaced with intravenous (IV) fluids or donated plasma (with no antibodies).
For the chronic form of the disease, you will need to reduce the amount of protein, salt, and potassium in your diet. Additionally, you must watch how much liquid you drink. Calcium supplements may be recommended, and you may need to take diuretics to reduce swelling.
If your condition becomes advanced and you develop kidney failure, you may need to have dialysis where your blood is filtered by a machine. Eventually you may need a kidney transplant.
Acute GN, if caught early, can be temporary and reversible. Chronic GN may be slowed with early treatment. But if your GN worsens, it will likely lead to reduced kidney function, chronic kidney failure, and end-stage renal disease.
Glomerulonephritis can lead to nephrotic syndrome, where you lose large amounts of protein in your urine. This leads to a lot of fluid and salt retained in your body. You develop high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and swelling throughout your body. This is treated with corticosteroids. If the syndrome cannot be controlled, then eventually end-stage renal disease will result.
Severe kidney damage, kidney failure, and end-stage renal disease may eventually require dialysis and the need for a kidney transplant.
The following conditions can also occur due to GN:
