To balance this commentary:
If you are intending to do an exhaust, the catalytic is of no concern.
If you are planning a front end swap, I doubt you will have much trouble delinking the remaining rear brakes.
Dmac -- would you hate me more if I told you the bike I bought was forsale in Chapel Hill, NC? I drove from Harrisburg, PA to get it.
I have a local friend also wanting one, so, I'll have to give him the nod on the first one I see for sale. He also has right of first refusal if I ever sell this one.
After he gets his, sure, I'll give you a heads-up on any I find.
My friend and I would both each like a CBR400RR (NC29) and/or a CBR250RR (MC19 or MC22) the 4-cylinder screamer.
These lightweight small-displacement bikes are so much fun to ride. I would say that the NC30 definitely as much, if not more entertaining to ride as my VFR750. Now, the VFR750 does provide all-day comfort that the NC30 does not.
hella cool VFR400 up there.
I'd pick that up over pretty much any bike right now! Looking good
oohhh my!!
Damn, it looks like the 100k mark is getting to be so common, nobody is paying any attention to the latest members. Alternatively, this may be just a case of poor timing, there have certainly been more high mileage 750/780 VFRs than VFR400s of any distance.
Welcome to the club Chris
Without hesitation, and twice on the weekend.
Yes. Absolutely. I'm three hours from there. Grr.
I suspect that this bike was sold by a shop in Raleigh that was loosely associated with TapeWorks. I saw one like that on the floor years ago. It was unclear how they proposed to get it registered. Want one bad. You're right about small bikes being fun. It doesn't hurt that I'm the right size for one.
This one was imported into California in 1995 by the person I bought it from. He & his wife moved to NC in 2007.
Well, that ain't the one I saw, then.
All the parts are like small jewelry. The spark plugs are the size of pencils. So neat.
I have a VFR750 but would love to add an NC30 or NC35 to the collection. I have an FZR400 and love it but it's certainly no V4. I have right of first refusal on an RC30 but don't have the little brother lined up yet.

ive had the fairing resprayed, fresh synth 9100 motul oil, motul ultamate coolant now mixed right, and motul 5.1 brake fluid all round, shes back together now, all ready for my licence to be returned to me in about 6 weeks, bike hasnt even hit 10,000km yet.
STORM SHADOW, I am envious of your nice rack(s)
Luggage solutions for 3rd Gen seem few and FAR between.
I run soft bags but not happily.
Great looking machine!!
ive got givi panniers too, they arnt on the bike right now.
i had all my soft luggage stolen once upon a time on tour, very annoying, and vowed i would invest in hard luggage on my next bike...
I spent some time yesterday doing a mockup and some CAD sketches for a good (factory looking) solution for my 93.
Made some good progress. Should have something by next month. Then to pick up some GIVI sides and maybe a top boxish option as well.
BTW the way SUBBED to the White Bike thread
no need to show you a picture of my panniers then lol
Hepco and Becker (German but there are US distributors) still make hard bags and mounts for 3rd gen VFR's (1990-1993). I have a brand new set in the box bieng shipped to me right now that I'll probably never use since I got a Ninja 1000 w/ bags 3 weeks ago. Sent you a PM.
I got a set of these last year for my 4th gen. I already had the bags from my other bikes, so all I needed to buy were the racks.
They look great, IMHO. The side bags pictured are the "Junior" bags. I have since replaced "Journey" top case with the better looking and functionally superior "Junior" 55L top case. I also have a Junior 40L top case for when I don't need to carry much.

The Six Degrees of… Prince Harry
He's a British socialite and no doubt about it, but how can Kipp connect him to an Indian tycoon via the Emirates chairman, a mechanic, and the professor of football?
February 15, 2011 1:07 by shafeer
Ah, Harry. Or, to give him his full name, Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales (presumably really Henry Charles Albert David Windsor). He's a character, and no mistake. Third in line to the British throne, he's got a bit of a problem: Dad is next in line, then his brother, so what the heck should he do with himself? His chances of being king are pretty slim. So, as a young man of incredible wealth and privilege, he did what any of us would do: Got himself a smoking hot girlfriend, and partied a lot.
Of course, everyone has to grow up at some stage, and Kipp is pleased to report that Harry now seems to be making a decent fist of life as an adult. He joined the army and served in Afghanistan briefly, which doesn't meet everyone's approval, but at least it was borne of a desire to serve his country. His carries out various royal duties, representing the state, and is also involved with numerous charitable initiatives. He's in the news just now as media reports seem to confirm he'll be older brother William's best man at the much-hyped royal wedding in April, and because before that he'll be in Dubai riding a horse. Apparently he likes riding a horse; in fact he's big on lots of sports, which could be why he met…

Live Blog: Rangers-Flyers Game 7, Carcillo back in
Coach Alain Vigneault will go back to experienced veteran Dan Carcillo, a healthy scratch the last two games in favor of J.T. Miller, for tonight's deciding Game 7 at Madison Square Garden.
Carcillo played Games 3 and 4, making a strong impact on the Rangers' 4-1 win in Game 3 with a third-period goal, after he was inserted for rookie Jesper Fast, who had played the first two games. Carcillo will be back on Brad Richards' line with Carl Hagelin.
Meanwhile, the Flyers strongly believe they can carry them momentum of their 5-2 win in Game 6 less than 24 hours ago in Philadelphia.
Not surprisingly, the Rangers do not believe there will be a carryover.
Actually, this series history supports the Rangers as the teams have alternated wins and losses all the way, the Rangers winning Games 1, 3, and 5 and the Flyers taking Games 2, 4, and 6.
"I think both teams have had a tough time in this series to carry it over," Marty St. Louis said. "Every game is a new one and this is two good teams going at it. It's Game 7, we're home and it's going to be a fun one."
If anything, the back-to-back games may benefit the Rangers, who had nearly zero time to sit on their Game 6 loss.
And, of course, they have home-ice advantage.
"It definitely helps," Richards said. "We'd rather be home in Game 7, it doesn't mean you win. You've still got to go out and execute. But we'd rather be home. We're comfortable doing it. A lot of guys in this room have won two Game 7s at home two years ago and a Game 7 on the road last year so we have experience. There's no need to really talk about it, we've done it, we know what to do to get prepared and we're going to execute a lot better than we did last night and we'll see where it goes.
"When you lose to come back home right away and get a chance to go to round two, there's no sitting around waiting," Richards added. "Getting back to the rink, that's great because really you could have dropped the puck this morning at nine and we would have been ready and I'm sure they would have been. It's a fun day and we just want to get going."
Keys to Game 7:
1. Ability to bounce back: The Rangers must regroup after missing out on a chance to close out the Flyers in Tuesday night's Game 6. It marked the 12th straight postseason loss for the Rangers after they have taken a series lead and the second time in this series the Rangers have missed an opportunity to help themselves in Philadelphia. The Rangers also lost Game 4 at the Wells Fargo Center, 2-1, failing to take a commanding 3-1 series lead and a chance to clinch in Sunday's Game 5 at Madison Square Garden.
2. Keep it simple: Typically, this is how road teams want to play. But playing for the second time in two nights, both teams need to keep the shifts short while staying in control of the heightened emotions that come with a Game 7. The Rangers are perfect in home Game 7s, going 5-0 in franchise history and the core of this team is 2-0, eliminating the Senators and Capitals in back-to-back series in 2012.
3. Calling on Lundqvist: When it comes down to it, winning a playoff series is based on how well the goalie is playing. So who will be better, Henrik Lundqvist or Steve Mason. Lundqvist certainly has more of a big-game pedigree – this is just Mason's second playoff series – but both have been, for the most part, solid in this series.
Rangers' lineup:
Rick Nash-Derek Stepan-Marty St. Louis
Benoit Pouliot-Derick Brassard-Mats Zuccarello
Carl Hagelin-Brad Richards-Dan Carcillo
Brian Boyle-Dominic Moore-Derek Dorsett
Ryan McDonagh-Dan Girardi
Marc Staal-Anton Stralman
John Moore-Kevin Klein
Henrik Lundqvist (3-3, 2.31 goals-against, .910 save percentage)
Flyers' lineup:
Michael Raff-Claude Giroux-Jakub Voracek
Scott Hartnell-Brayden Schenn-Wayne Simmonds
Matt Read-Sean Couturier-Jason Akeson
Zac Rinaldo-Vincent Lecavalier-Adam Hall
Kimmo Timonen-Braydon Coburn
Andrew MacDonald-Mark Streit
Erik Gustafsson-Luke Schenn
Steve Mason (2-1, 1.95, .939)

Chiefs have extra money to spend on roster
Tuesday, July 26, 2011
KANSAS CITY (AP) — The front office of the Kansas City Chiefs has plenty of work to do and not much time to do it.
As the lockout ends and the tightly compressed league year begins, the daunting array of hurried decisions includes signing a right tackle to bolster the NFL's top rushing attack, getting AFC sack leader Tamba Hali to sign a long-term deal, and reaching agreement with wide receiver and first-round pick Jonathan Baldwin.
The good news is the Chiefs were under the salary cap last year and general manager Scott Pioli will have plenty of money to spend.
Exactly how much under is open to speculation. But owner Clark Hunt, who was instrumental in negotiating the 10-year deal which owners and players have endorsed, agrees his team will be in better position than most.
"We do have some room, although there is probably a little misunderstanding about our spending last year," Hunt said. "We were much higher than has been reported."
Signing some veterans to long-term deals during the season, including Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Johnson and Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles, did increase the payroll.
"But we still have plenty of (cap) flexibility, and if we have a chance to add a player who we think can help us, both in the near term and long term, we won't hesitate," Hunt said.
The Chiefs are expected to open their second training camp Thursday in St. Joseph, 16 days before their first exhibition game Aug. 12 against Tampa Bay.
And beginning at 9 a.m. today, players can begin reporting to the team complex in Kansas City for physicals and voluntary strength and conditioning work. Except for a few hours back in April, this will be the time Todd Haley and his coaches have seen their players since early March. Pioli and his staff can also begin negotiating with and signing their 2011 draft picks as well as undrafted free agents and clubs will be free to make trades.
The Chiefs are counting on Baldwin to make immediate contributions alongside veteran Dwayne Bowe, who went to the Pro Bowl last year but was held without a single catch in the playoff loss to the Ravens. Pioli and representatives for Baldwin, a big, athletic wide receiver from Pittsburgh, have already set an appointment for today.
But they had better hurry. Pioli and the league's other 31 general managers will have a tightly compressed few weeks to get everything done as everybody scrambles to set rosters and get players signed. Whether that will create a buyer's or seller's market for players remains to be seen.
The Chiefs, who made a breakthrough last season with a 10-6 record and lost to Baltimore in the first round of the playoffs as AFC West champions, will be out to fill needs at right tackle and nose tackle, too.
Jerrell Powe, a 330-pound nose tackle the Chiefs drafted out of Mississippi in the sixth round, will get a long look in training camp. But Aubrayo Franklin, a free agent from the 49ers, could also get their attention. Another possibility would be to re-sign incumbent Ron Edwards.
The Chiefs led the NFL in rushing last year with 164 yards per game and could use an upgrade at right tackle — something that could be addressed in free agency. Two possibilities could be Doug Free of the Cowboys and Tyson Clabo from Atlanta.
A Chiefs spokesperson said Monday the ticket office had seen a spike in business since last week, when owners first announced they had agreed on a new labor deal. The Chiefs, like many clubs, are planning goodwill gestures to fans. An e-mail went out Monday telling season ticket holders details would soon be announced on a special night just for them at training camp in St. Joseph.
"Most importantly, I want to thank our fans for their enduring passion for football and the tremendous patience they have demonstrated throughout the challenges of the last several months," Hunt said in a statement. "Our entire organization has been working hard to prepare for the 2011 season, and we are excited to get back to football."

my question
i got a 20 gal tank i dont know some bio wheel filter system a little sunken ship that has air bubbles that comes out of it.... i got 2 oscars, 1 texas cichlid my tank is set at about 78f i am open to any advise this is my first tank i dont want to wake up and my fish are dead i was told them to feed them beef hearts i was told that the pack i got would last 30 days it has 30 peices in it but i dont know how much or how often to feed them any advise is appreciated, Major
did u cycle the tank and for those fish youll need proably 50 gallons
Hello majorcali, and welcome.
Your probably going to get told this alot in replies to this post, but your tank is way to small for the inhabitants. Take them back to your LFS and get something a wee more suitable for the size of tank you have. :D
Im new here but dont ya think the Oscars will eventualy eat the other guy in any size tank?
the oscars are gonna get waaaaay too big- and yeah, they may eventually eat the other fish.
give your ascars a wider variety of food too if you decide to keep them. Oscars will eat a lot and will grow quickly which is why I agree with everyone else here that you need at least a 50 gallon for just those 2 oscars. Being dirty fish, you would also want a large filter with good circulation, probably a canister filter rated for 75 gallon tanks or more. Frozen food are great, I would mix it up more with brine shrimp, beefheart, spirulina, algea, spinach, etc. MOst frozen foods you find will be suitable but a common problem with oscars is malnutrition because they don't get a varied diet or enough food. Try to aoid live feeder fish for a loooong time. Many people want to feed feeder fish as soon as they can and that can lead to infections later on or malnutrition as they oscars sometimes stop eating anything else besides goldfish. Get a good pellet food too, that should be his main diet since it is well-rounded and fortified. I feed mine chopped peas too to help bring out color, aid in digestion and provide vegetable matter.

Dave Van Horn - Aggies Rainout
Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn talks ...
Sam Pittman talks with Tennessee offensive lineman Zach Fulton during a game against Akron at Neyland Stadium.
FAYETTEVILLE Arkansas has given offensive line coach Sam Pittman a contract extension and pay raise after reports indicated Alabama inquired about him for the same position earlier this month.
Pittman, who was hired in December after one year at Tennessee, will make $500,000 per year through June 30, 2016. His original contract was $275,000 per year through June 30, 2014.
The new contract makes Pittman the Razorbacks' highest paid non-coordinator on Bret Bieleama's first staff. Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney and defensive coordinator Chris Ash signed multi-year contracts worth $550,000.
With Pittman's raise, the nine assistant coaches will now make about $3.23 million per year.mThe Razorbacks' assistant coaches have received sizable pay raises following each of the last three seasons and the 2013 staff is the highest-paid in school history.
In a Feb. 11 message on Twitter, Bielema wrote, "Can't say THANK YOU enough to UA administration & support to keep our staff together when others come calling to hire away."

Urinary Retention
Urinary Retention in Adults: Diagnosis and Initial Management - Article
ABSTRACT: Urinary retention is the inability to voluntarily void urine. This condition can be acute or chronic. Causes of urinary retention are numerous and can be classified as obstructive, infectious and inflammatory, pharmacologic, neurologic, or other. The most common cause of urinary retention is benign prostatic hyperplasia. Other common causes include prostatitis, cystitis, urethritis, and vulvovaginitis; receiving medications in the anticholinergic and alphaadrenergic agonist classes; and cortical, spinal, or peripheral nerve lesions. Obstructive causes in women often involve the pelvic organs. A thorough history, physical examination, and selected diagnostic testing should determine the cause of urinary retention in most cases. Initial management includes bladder catheterization with prompt and complete decompression. Men with acute urinary retention from benign prostatic hyperplasia have an increased chance of returning to normal voiding if alpha blockers are started at the time of catheter insertion. Suprapubic catheterization may be superior to urethral catheterization for short-term management and silver alloy-impregnated urethral catheters have been shown to reduce urinary tract infection. Patients with chronic urinary retention from neurogenic bladder should be able to manage their condition with clean, intermittent self-catheterization; low-friction catheters have shown benefit in these patients. Definitive management of urinary retention will depend on the etiology and may include surgical and medical treatments.
Management of Hip Fracture: The Family Physician's Role - Article
ABSTRACT: The incidence of hip fracture is expected to increase as the population ages. One in five persons dies in the first year after sustaining a hip fracture, and those who survive past one year may have significant functional limitation. Although surgery is the main treatment for hip fracture, family physicians play a key role as patients' medical consultants. Surgical repair is recommended for stable patients within 24 to 48 hours of hospitalization. Antibiotic prophylaxis is indicated to prevent infection after surgery. Thromboprophylaxis has become the standard of care for management of hip fracture. Effective agents include unfractionated heparin, low-molecular-weight heparin, fondaparinux, and warfarin. Optimal pain control, usually with narcotic analgesics, is essential to ensure patient comfort and to facilitate rehabilitation. Rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery ideally should start on the first postoperative day with progression to ambulation as tolerated. Indwelling urinary catheters should be removed within 24 hours of surgery. Prevention, early recognition, and treatment of contributing factors for delirium also are crucial. Interventions to help prevent future falls, exercise and balance training in ambulatory patients, and the treatment of osteoporosis are important strategies for the secondary prevention of hip fracture.
Nursing Home Care: Part II. Clinical Aspects - Article
ABSTRACT: Understanding the distinctions between the management of clinical problems in nursing homes compared with the community setting helps improve the overall care of nursing home residents. Liberalizing diets helps avoid unintentional weight loss in nursing home residents, although the use of feeding tubes usually does not improve nutrition or decrease aspiration risk. Medical assessment, treatment of comorbidities, and appropriate use of rehabilitation therapies minimize the frequency of falls. Toileting programs may be used to treat incontinence and retention in cooperative patients. Adverse effects and drug interactions should be considered when initiating pharmacologic treatment of overactive bladder. Urinary tract infection and pneumonia are the most common bacterial infections in nursing home residents. Signs and symptoms of infection include fever or hypothermia, and functional decline. Virus identification is recommended for influenza-like illnesses. Nonpharmacologic behavioral management strategies are the preferred treatment for dementia-related problem behaviors. The Beers criteria, which outline potentially inappropriate medication use in older persons, provide guidance for medication use in the nursing home.

@crackajack: looks like you rushed headfirst into the jaws of death and died. Good.
Boletaria is a dangerous place and carelessness gets you killed faster than anything else. On my first playthrough I've beaten most of the bosses on the first try. Quite a few of them are not really in a hurry to kill you, thus it's possible to come of with strategies on the go. Exceptions being the Tower Knight, Flamelurker and Maneater who slammed me into the ground more often than I care to count. I really hate Maneater.
@Topic: being a bit fed up with Crysis 2 I put it on indefinite hold and started
Assassins Creed 2
instead. I have a soft spot for the first AC despite the game being seriously flawed. So far I really enjoy running over rooftops in the second part and it doesn't seem to make the same mistakes the first game did. However: the opening scene fleeing the lab was pretty boring. I wouldn't have minded seeing this handled in a cutscene.

As Summer winds down
posted 9/22/2011 1:03:53 PM |
what's this?
report abuse
I know there are some of you out there looking forward to this summer to end. Can't say I blame you as enduring day after day of 100+ temps and a drought would make for a miserable summer.
I see all the changes starting to take place in my area. Maples are always so pretty when their leaves change to that fiery red color. Then the browns and oranges and yellows..it does get quite colorful here, and it's starting early this year. Besides the colors, what I like about fall weather is that it's crisp. Not too cold and not too hot. Falls into that "just right" category. And, raking the leaves is quite entertaining here because of the dogs. Well, the siblings, Princess, Buddy, and Tazz. They are such nuts about it. I'll start raking, and Buddy will spend about 5 minutes chasing after the rake. He looks so funny jumping around and barking at it.
Princess and Tazz, those two think it's just fine to wait until I've got a decent sized leaf pile, and then they "dive in" and scatter the leaves. Then have the nerve to stand there with their tails wagging waiting for me to build up that leaf pile again.
It takes a while, but, I do eventually get the leaves raked up. I usually get a break when the neighbor comes outside and the "three stooges" decide it's time to bark at him.
At least now he has learned to just ignore them.
Speaking of neighbors...some can be so stupid. Where I live, there is a duplex across the street from my house. And both sides just got new tenants. A while back, one of the tenants threw a party. I don't have a problem with that, but, when their guests thought is was just fine and dandy to use my driveway to park in without asking, well, then I had a problem. Yep, came home from work last week, and saw cars in my driveway. Again. (This happened before with different occupants
) And again, I had to park my own vehicle in the road, and knock on their door and ask them to have their guests get their cars out of my driveway. They actually had the nerve to act as if I were inconveniencing them!
So, what do they do? The house next door to the duplex, which is sitting empty as the people who were living there moved out a couple of months ago, they parked their cars in that driveway.
I don't see these people staying too long, the landlord is at that property at least 3 times a week.
Our governor here had signed into law some welfare reform. Basics of it are: recipients receive help for 4 years, and, if after 4 years, from what I was told, if they are in school, or working and still need assistance, the state will work with them. If all they have done in that 4 years is sit on their ass and do nothing..they lose all benefits. And, I guess, starting in October, recipients are getting notices that their benefits will be reduced or canceled because this law went in retroactive. While I support the idea, I think now is not a good time for something like this because there just isn't the jobs out there right now for people. I've heard of some who have actually talked about moving out of state to get on welfare somewhere else. Like I said, good idea, bad timing.
Anyway, I've got to take off run some errands. Later.

People in the north and east have the pretty autumn colors, we rarely do for more than a week. We usually get fall. The leaves are green, the north wind blows, the leaves are yellow, the north wind blows, the leaves fall. This usually happens for about a week in mid October.

4 years?
What we have here, are professional parasites. Two and a half decades ago, I was
laid off from a job near Irving. Made aircraft thing-a-ma-jigs. Following day, I went to
Texas Employment people in downtown Ft. Worth. I was waning to 'coast' for a while,
get one of those Unemployment checks I've always heard about. Be nice, to wake
up on a weekday, goof off...perhaps go fishing, do whatever I wanted....besides punch
a timeclock.
The Black man that was going through the paperwork with me, looked me in the eye, and
said something like......"If you tell anyone I said this, I'll deny it. I can tell, you are
intelligent, healthy, motivated, and young ( like I said, 20+ years ago ), you can get a job
just about anywhere doing anything, so get your white ass out there and get a job."
Needless to say, within a couple of days, I had gainful employment.....
I'm not too sympathetic to those that get welfare, as I'm the wrong sex/color.

Neighbors can be a real pain! The ones I had before moving this month were good neighbors! The one to the south of me is retired, fixed my tractor mower by replacing the main drive belt for only my cost of the belt, just for something to do! I've helped him out too! He hated to see me leave because I was quiet and didn't cause problems!
My other neighbor didn't want to see me leave either! Now they're both afraid of who might move in my old house! Guess I can't blame them, it's just outside of Flint, MI. Not the best area- but, I bet with the economy the way it is and the administration taking its time to improve conditions for companies to start hiring, my old house will sit there for a year or two, before my neighbors have to really worry about new neighbor!
Sep 22 @ 7:45PM
I don't rake my leaves. After the seasonal changes are done, I make one pass with the lawn mower (we have spring weeds come up early around here in the fall), which grinds up everything, quite a different set of circumstances
This blog touches upon several issues and commentators ran in several different directions, myself included. Hey, Sugar, you got participation, good enough for a green cookie in my book

With the upcoming 12th season of "The Ultimate Fighter" now in production and its Sept. 15 Spike TV debut set, plans are also in motion for the show's live finale.
A source close to the competition-reality series told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the show's live finale takes place Dec. 4.
As with the past seven finales, The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale takes place at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas and airs on Spike TV.
"TUF 12," a lightweights-only season of the show that features 28 fighters in a 32-slot tourney (with two "wild-card" picks), features UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and top contender Josh Koscheck as coaches. They and the 14 official cast members are currently in Las Vegas for production.
Two finalists will emerge from the show, and they'll fight for the coveted "six-figure UFC contract" at the Dec. 4 event.
The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale, which features Court McGee vs. Kris McCray and a non-"TUF" co-headliner of Matt Hamill vs. Keith Jardine, takes place next Saturday, June 19, at the Palms.
"TUF" debuted in 2005 and is often cited as one of the primary reasons for MMA's and the UFC's move into the mainstream. The reality series has launched the careers of more than 100 UFC fighters and produced three future champions.
For the latest on The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

Saudi dogs: Animal magnetism banned
Worried that dogs may be helping bring members of the opposite sex together, Saudi Arabia's Islamic religious police have banned the selling of dogs and cats — and walking them in public — in the capital city of Riyadh.
Ma'assalama, babe magnets.
I'm normally not one to criticize an entire culture, but this bothers me on several levels.
For one, it's hard to walk a dog in private, and dogs need their walks, and Riyadh is going to have a bunch of very cranky canines on its hands.
For another, some of us guys – whether our name is "Yasser" or "Doug" – really need all the help we can get.
The prohibition went into effect on Wednesday in the Saudi capital, and authorities said – unlike previous pet bans in Mecca and Jidda, which had little impact – this one will be strictly enforced.
Violators found outside with their pets will have their them confiscated by agents of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, the official name of the religious police. The violator will be forced to sign a document vowing not to repeat the act. If he does, he will be "referred to authorities."
According to a Fox News story, the commission's general manager, Othman al-Othman, said the ban was ordered to combat "the rising of phenomenon of men using cats and dogs to make passes at women and pester families" as well as "violating proper behavior in public squares and malls."
The Saudi-owned Al-Hayat announced the ban in its Wednesday edition.
Saudi Arabia's religious police regularly patrol the city to ensure unmarried men and women do not mix, scolding women they feel are not properly covered and urging men to go pray.
There was no word whether commission authorities intend to expand the dog and cat ban beyond the capital.
The prohibition, the Fox story said, may be more of an attempt to curb the owning of pets, which conservative Saudis view as a sign of corrupting Western influence, like the fast food, shorts, jeans and pop music that have become more common in the kingdom.
Pet owning has never been popular in the Arab world, but it has recently been catchinig on though among the upper class in Saudi Arabia and other countries such as Egypt.
In Islamic tradition, dogs are shunned as unclean and dangerous, though they are kept for hunting and guarding. Cats are held in higher respect, making the ban on them more puzzling.

You said, "Ma'assalama, babe magnets." LOL. This really is a shame though. The companionship of a dog and the way animals can bring people together are wonderful experiences that I consider to be positive Western traditions. But at the same time, keeping Islamic traditions in mind, I sort of understand the reasoning. I hope there is an organization set up to care for the confiscated pets…

Oh. And one more thing. Dont let people or articles tell you braxton hicks dont hurt because I know in my case they often hurt A LOT.posted 08/15/2008 by Kailer_Klan
I understand completely where you are coming from. My first pregnancy was a breeze and this one is difficult. I dont think inducing is a good idea just becuase you are uncomfortable. Babies who come early often have a much harder time, especially as early as you are in your pregnancy. Your baby will come when he/she is ready. However, that is something that you need to talk to your doctor about. What I do is play mind games with myself in order to help me cope with the time that I have left. I tell myself that I have this much time left until this week number and it has been helping to pass the time easier. And since I have a history of preterm labor in my family and personally, I have that yo look forward to. My first child was born just early enough to not be too big but late enough that there were no health complications. If there is any way that I can encourage you please let me know becasue I know how you feel. This pregnancy is much more difficult than my first.posted 08/15/2008 by Kailer_Klan
Everyone's comments about the health of the baby are so important. The other thing that will develop over the next 8 weeks is your own mental and emotional strength. By the time you've made it through the pregnancy, you will be better at dealing with life despite your own discomforts, you will be used to a slower pace of life and you will just be more patient. These are all awesome qualities for a new mom! So hang in there first for the little one's continued growth, but also knowing you're coming out of it all a little stronger too! I don't know how we do it, but Mom's are #1!posted 08/09/2008 by webtheresa
I was tired of being pregnant too..But at 31 weeks my waterbroke and they were able to keep him in for one more week...So at 32 weeks I started contracting really hard and he was born weighing 4lbs 3oz..I dont understand why u would want to have your baby now..I would give anything to be pregnant still..He has been in the NICU for almost a month now...I would try anything and everything before I would decide on having your baby...Good Luck..posted 06/12/2008 by mommaof4boys24
im also 31 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy and like the first was of twins, this time for me being pregnant is a delight and i dont feel huge and i sleep at nights and im great, first pregnancy was hard.posted 06/08/2008 by bigmomma8a
be careful what you wish for! i complained about being pregnant and now have a baby girl in the NICU. i went to a regular checkup and was rushed to the hospital because i was 6 cm dialated. my baby is being held hostage now because she was 10 weeks early.posted 05/27/2008 by Rllewis76
My first pregnancy I went into preterm labor at 28 weeks and had to go on bed rest. The medication the doctors used to stop the contractions was aweful. I stopped taking the medicine a week before the doctors wanted and had the baby at 35 5/7 weeks. I had had a round of steroids to dry his lungs, so he did fairly well but has been physically small for his age and has ADHD. Whether the ADHD is due to his premature birth is questionable. He will be turning 10 this year. My second pregnancy I didn't go into preterm labor until 32 weeks and he stayed inside until 39 weeks. Both preganacies were aweful because of the 7 months of 24 hour morning sickness, constipation, swelling....etc. Now I am 20 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy and can't believe I was stupid enough to do it again. I am already having contractions and even though I want it to be over...I want a healthy baby out of what I have already been through. Hang in there!posted 04/09/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
i would ask your dr how soon you can have your baby. just make sure the baby is at about 7 lbs and get an amniosentisis to see if his lungs are developed. my dr said since i have a large baby i could be induced around 34 weeks to avoid a c section after i get an amnio to see how developed he is. but i don't think the dr will induce you just because you are uncompfortable. im 28 weeks and my baby is already almost 4 lbs my first boy was 8.12 3 weeks early but perfect health. the lungs and birthweight are what your main concerns should be.posted 04/02/2008 by aiden.ezequiel
I don't mean to be crass but to risk your childs health and development and possibly their life just because your uncomfortable it just selfish. We're all uncomfortable but I wouldn't for one second wish my baby to be premature just so I can sleep on my belly again. Get your priorities in order.posted 04/01/2008 by kbonez1
You should wait 8 more weeks before even considering being induced. Just think about all you've been through to get as far as you are now, if you deliver your baby now, it will suffer. Each DAY makes a difference...if this rate of growth continued outside the womb, he/she would be 16 ft by their first year! So it isn't like they're perfectly ready to go right now because YOU'RE tired, everyday is an important step for his growth. Just remember, you've been through a long journey, why cut it short and spoil everything? You'll just need to tough it out, all of us are going through a lot this trimester!posted 03/27/2008 by Irishbrwnie

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
The third annual Art Studio Tour last weekend again began with 5 to 8 p.m. Friday night Black Tie and Tennis Shoe reception and auction at the Manley Art Center.
Champagne, hor d'oeurvres, and elegance mixed with humorously decorated tennis shoes gave a certain savoir faire to the event.
Auctioneer Steve Combs, who received more help from a sassy crowd than he expected – or probably wanted – attempted to squeeze as much money from the bidders as possible.
According to Vi Burton, one of the event planners, the auction provided $820 and tour book sales $880. The money will be used by Pelican Bay Arts Association members toward a new roof for the art center.
In addition to the Friday night reception, the $10 tour pass included the opportunity to visit with 20 artists at 10 art studios, showing and demonstrating paintings in oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, mixed media, and collage, porcelain painting, basketry, wood carving and wood sculpture, photography, ceramics, and beading.
Burton said that having the tour on the same weekend as the Relay for Life and the Kite Festival probably affected the number of tour participants. "It was a little slow," she said. The Burtons' studio is up Mountain Drive, and she indicated that she believed the detours had a lot to do with the smaller number of visitors.
"We did have several new artists participating in the tour, and some guests said that it was the best tour yet for them," she added
Beginning with Bobbie Geney demonstrating her work with pastels and Craig Barnes working on a wood sculpture at Geney's studio, listed first in the tour book, on Cape Ferrelo Road to the studios of Claudia Mach and Nancy Hope Moore at the south end of Harbor, the artists entertained visitors with inside information and demonstrations of their work.
In addition to her own work, Claudia Mach's studio in Harbor also provided space for three other working artists, her daughter Susan Mach creating ceramics, Maryjane Carlson working with clay, and Sara Logan painting watercolor portraits.
"Everyone seemed to be having a good time and everyone was very chatty," Mach said. "My daughter said she sold enough ceramics to pay for her trip from California and I sold a basket and a painting."
Logan added, "It was absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed it immensely. I did graphite drawings of three young girls and the aunt of two commissioned me to do a portrait of her two nieces together."
In between those two studios, guests met Audi Stanton in her Holmes Drive studio; Bette Sherbourne and Sharon Guinn at Sherbourne's studio on Ransom Avenue, photographers Mike Roberts and Kara Roberts Hoffman at Village Express Mail Center; painters Len and Vi Burton, Jim McCarten, plus Jewell Johnson's beading and Karen Vogt's assemblage art, all at the Burtons' Mountain Drive studio; Jim Liatti and his wood carving on Benham Lane; Jean Beebe with watercolor and porcelain and Mureen Walker's photography at Beebe's Oceanview studio; and Nancy Moore Hope's flora, fauna, children, ocean, and bunnies at her Sandpiper Place studio.

Match & Fuse Artists Light Up London
Not far from the site of this years Olympics, the first Match & Fuse festival attracted a respectable turnout June 15–16 at Londons Vortex jazz club and Gillett Square.
The opening evening featured club performances and jam sessions that continued until the early hours, both of which were not-to-be-missed opportunities to hear more than a dozen progressive jazz bands from the burgeoning European scene.
Match & Fuse kicked off with the bohemian refrains of Toulouse, France-based outfit Alfie Ryner. Dressed like funeral undertakers with sleazy snarling menace, frontman Paco Serrano provided both spoken-word poetry and saxophone attack, setting the artsy tone of the whole gathering. The same overarching aesthetic resonated when the members were joined by Irish post-M-BASE outfit Redivider. The Serge Gainsbourg-like Serrano captained the set, delivering bursts of conduction-like sound painting.
The Vortex was packed for an appearance by Led Bib, the London-based band led by American drummer Mark Holub. Before taking to the kit to unleash slabs of new material to a standing-room-only club, Holub said the freer end of the scene was tough out there. Support is dying and opportunities are drying up, he explained.
Nonetheless, Led Bibs set laid waste to any pervasive doom and gloom with the sprawling, anthemic swell and two-alto-sax attack of Chris Williams and Pete Grogan, whose energizing, jabbing lines were contoured by Liran Donins painstaking bass guitar.
The edgy vibe continued with the drum n bass three-piece Owls Are Not What They Seem. The Warsaw, Poland-based band painted their bare torsos with tribal body art for a pulsating set that thrived on athletic drumming delivered at warp speed and virtuoso bass guitar plus nimble laptop effects.
Though Match & Fuse organizers worried about the monsoon-like conditions that have permeated London for much of June, their fears were allayed when Saturday dawned with clear skies. After the Spanish band Les Rauchen Verbotens plane was delayed, Irish band Redivider, led by drummer Matt Jacobson, stepped in and impressed with an airy math-jazz clarity on such numbers as Royal Gardens. Jacobson, who spoke in the temporary calm of the Vortexs downstairs bar, later explained that the band had been gigging at festivals in Ireland, but the lack of venues in Dublin made gigging in the austerity-hit capital a problem. While Redivider has less in common with the prog-jazz theme that dominated at Match & Fuse, Rome-based guitar band Tribraco embraced the idea. Anchored by the marvellous bass guitar of Valerio Lucenti, the jazz-rockers boasted impressive control at car-chase volumes.
Another bassist who excelled at the fest was Ellen Andrea Wang, who fronted the promising Norwegian band Pixel on the outdoor Gillett Square stage. The groups chromatic runs on the snarling tune Call Me gave Wang an opportunity to pull off one of the most memorable moments of the weekend.
The delay that affected Les Rauchen Verboten was compounded by an unplayable guitar that proved disastrous to the Spaniards halfway through their set. However, WorldService Project and the bizarre Dutch piano band Tin Men and the Telephone made up the slack in some style, leaving it to band-of-the-moment trioVD to hype the late-night crowd.

British attitudes to the First World War
Adam Hochschild
How the First World War divided Britain

T he title of Adam Hochschild's book, although he never explicitly acknowledges it, is a variation on H. G. Wells's famous essay "The War That Will End War". This originally appeared in the Daily News in August 1914, ten days after the outbreak of the First World War, and the essay duly became the title piece of a collection published by Wells in September of that year.
Later, Wells would try to disown the phrase as an embarrassing example of naive enthusiasm, but in the rush of excitement that August, others had simultaneously expressed almost identical ideas. Wilfred Owen, for example, described by Hochschild as the author of "the finest body of poetry about the experience of war written in the twentieth century", had commented only days before Wells's newspaper article that he liked to think that this would be "the last War of the World". In January 1916, by which time the fighting had long since become attritional, with thousands sacrificed for every mile of territory, Vera Brittain, subsequently a formidable pacifist during the Second World War, wrote from the London hospital where she was serving as a VAD nurse, of her belief that this remained "a War on War".
Increasingly, post-war generations were more likely to concur with Edmund Blunden in his description of the first day of the Battle of the Somme, that in one sense neither side could win, and that war itself was the only victor. In Britain at the end of the 1920s, a spate of anti-war novels and memoirs unleashed the first wave of condemnation, of elderly statesmen who had sent the flower of the nation's youth to their deaths, and of incompetent generals safe in their chateaux well behind the lines. This popular image of the First World War received new impetus in the 1960s, in the era of the Vietnam War and the rise of CND. It has persisted ever since, despite continuing attempts by revisionist scholars to overthrow one-dimensional perceptions of the war by arguing, for instance, that 1918 and "the Battle of the Hundred Days" represented an extraordinary reversal of fortune for the British Army, achieved through the expert integration of new technologies and weaponry, and a highly effective cooperation between infantry and artillery.
Hochschild writes emotively of the British commanders' "near-criminal disregard for the conditions their men faced"
In the first general narrative history of Britain's experience of the war to appear since the deaths of Harry Patch and Claude Choules, its last two combat veterans, Adam Hochschild gives grudging recognition to this achievement. However, elsewhere he leaves the reader in no doubt that his book conforms to a more conventional view of 1914--18. Parts of To End All Wars evoke the spirit of Joan Littlewood's Oh! What a Lovely War, of A. J. P. Taylor's illustrated history of the war (viewed by Taylor through CND-coloured glasses), and even, occasionally, of Alan Clark's much-derided The Donkeys. In his discussion of the Battle of Loos, the first major action, in 1915, for divisions of Kitchener's Army on the Western Front, Hochschild writes emotively of the British commanders' "near-criminal disregard for the conditions their men faced". His unreserved contempt for Douglas Haig, who succeeded Sir John French as commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force in late 1915, is perhaps most evident in Hochschild's refusal to acknowledge Haig's devoted service to the establishment of the Royal British Legion in his description of the Field Marshal's final years. The fierce debate over Haig's leadership, which erupted in the early 1960s with the publication of John Terraine's sympathetic study, will no doubt continue to rage. Hochschild's portrayal of Haig as dour and socially ambitious has much in common with other accounts, though one does pause at times to wonder how much the fact that Haig was an unforthcoming dinner guest has to do with his qualities as a general.
A host of recurring characters provides a backbone to Hochschild's retelling of the story of the war, as well as illustrating one of his central themes, the manner in which the war divided those who passionately believed it was worth fighting from the much smaller minority opposing it. Most memorable are the sibling pair John French and his sister Charlotte Despard, French's senior by eight years. As Hochschild says, their lives present the greatest possible contrast. Until the failure of the offensive at Loos, French was the leader of the largest army that Britain had ever put in the field, while Despard opposed "every war her country fought", above all the one in which brother "Jack" was commander-in-chief, and she eventually joined Sylvia Pankhurst in the socialist pacifist movement.
With her simple black mantilla and open sandals, Despard was a familiar figure on progressive platforms for four decades. While her brother was a bastion of the established order, Despard became ever more defiantly revolutionary. She was a leader in the struggle for votes for women, leaving the Pankhursts' Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) when the Suffragettes split in 1907, to become President of the Women's Freedom League. After the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, Despard's commitment to international socialism intensified, and she was later involved in the early years of the British Communist Party.
Even their lifestyles proclaimed them as polar opposites. Charlotte Despard was famously austere, while John French was a reckless spendthrift and a sexual adventurer, existing under a cloud of debt and pursuing a shady wartime affair with Winifred Bennett, wife of a diplomat known as "Pompous Percy". Yet brother and sister remained close until the 1920s, when Despard's support of the Irish Republican movement brought her into direct conflict with French, who, as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, was active in crushing the nationalist forces.
Other individuals sketched in by Hochschild include Alfred Milner and Lady Violet Cecil. Milner, architect of twentieth-century South Africa and Secretary of State for War in Lloyd George's Cabinet, had an ongoing affair across two decades with Violet Cecil, wife of a younger son of Lord Salisbury, the Conservative Prime Minister. Violet Cecil's son George was a casualty of the early months of conflict. Sent out to France in August 1914 as an officer in the Grenadier Guards, George was killed in action two weeks later, though he was declared missing for several months and his body only discovered towards the end of the year. Rudyard Kipling, a neighbour and close friend of the Cecils, was instrumental in the search for George, tracking down survivors of his last battle, and enlisting the support of the former American President, Theodore Roosevelt, to secure a list of the wounded, in a way that strikingly prefigures Kipling's own search, in vain, for his missing son John a year later.
Inevitably, the Pankhursts, mother Emmeline and daughters Christabel and Sylvia, form an important component of Hochschild's narrative. Emmeline and Christabel underwent the most dramatic of transformations. Before the outbreak of war they had led the WSPU's strategy of increasingly frenzied violence against Asquith's government. The war's early months, however, found the two women speaking and lecturing on both sides of the Atlantic, in support of the war, with the question of the vote pushed for the time being to one side. "I want men to go to battle like the knight of old", Emmeline told one audience, "who knelt before the altar and vowed that he would keep his sword stainless and with absolute honour to his nation." The split in the Pankhurst family proved irreversible. The youngest daughter Adela had already been banished to Australia for her criticism of militant tactics and the "warmth of her socialism". Now Sylvia, one of the first Suffragettes to speak out against the war and the author of a proposal in Women's Dreadnought, the paper she edited, for a "Women's Peace Expeditionary Force" to march between the rival armies, was ostracized by her mother and sister. When Sylvia's lover Keir Hardie, the Labour leader and powerful opponent of the war, was dying in 1915, Christabel published a cartoon cruelly depicting the Kaiser rewarding "Keir von Hardie" with a bag of gold.
Fawcett was once accused by the Quaker Isabella Ford of having been "unspeakable" during the Boer War
It isn't difficult to see why Hochschild was attracted by the dramatic potential of the familiar - in both senses of the word - story of the Pankhursts at war. What is slightly regrettable is that he has chosen to overlook the equally interesting, though less well-known, division in the constitutional suffragist movement over their membership's differing attitudes to Britain's entry into war. Millicent Fawcett, President of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, was as personally restrained and democratic as Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst were at times arbitrary, ruthless and authoritarian. Yet she was also intensely patriotic, even to the point of jingoism. Fawcett was once accused by the Quaker Isabella Ford of having been "unspeakable" during the Boer War, and she was to refuse to protest against the Allied blockade of Germany, which produced famine conditions there in 1918. Fawcett's rejection of the strength of opinion among anti-war members of the National Union, like Catherine Marshall and Kathleen Courtney, for identifying feminism with peace and campaigning for a negotiated settlement, led to bitter ructions in the movement and a wounding sense of betrayal on all sides that time never healed.
Hochschild makes it clear from the outset that he reserves his greatest admiration for the men and women who bravely resisted the war, recognizing it "for the catastrophe it was". By November 1918, more than 20,000 men of military age had refused conscription. Some refused non-combatant alternative service as well: more than 6,000 paid the penalty by serving prison sentences consisting of a regime of hard labour and a rule of silence. As Hochschild remarks, if we could time-travel our way into British prisons in 1917 and 1918, we would meet some extraordinary people, including a future Nobel Prize-winner, Bertrand Russell (imprisoned for prejudicing Britain's relations with its American ally), a future Cabinet minister (Arthur Creech Jones), more than half a dozen future MPs, and a distinguished investigative journalist, E. D. Morel (imprisoned for a technical breach of the Defence of the Realm Act). Less well-known dissenters include Albert Rochester, a former signalman for the Great Western Railway, who defended himself at a court martial on a charge of prejudicing good order and discipline, and the former lion tamer John S. Clarke, Editor of the militantly left-wing paper the Socialist, who wrote regular, uncompromising attacks on the war.
Thirty-four (not fifty, as Hochschild claims) early resisters were forcibly inducted into the army, transported to France, some in handcuffs, and threatened with death if they continued to disobey orders. Some historians have considered this threat to have been only a bluff, but Hochschild apparently believes it to be genuine, and maintains that it was only frantic lobbying of Prime Minister Asquith by Gilbert Murray that saved their lives. Undoubtedly the most pathetic case of all is that of Alice Wheeldon, the revolutionary socialist and anti-war campaigner from Derby, brought to trial in 1917, with other members of her family, on what were almost certainly trumped-up charges of attempting to assassinate Lloyd George and Arthur Henderson, a Labour member of the War Cabinet, by firing poisoned darts at them. Having been found guilty of subversion, Wheeldon was sentenced to ten years' hard labour, but released on licence in December 1918. Weak from hunger strikes and unable to support herself by growing tomatoes on a rented plot, Wheeldon succumbed to the influenza epidemic and died in February 1919.
Hochschild writes broad-brushstroke history in vivid, jaunty prose. He admits that To End All Wars may appear in form to have more in common with a work of fiction than with conventional history. And it is true that he is a master of rousing, dramatic juxtapositions: Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst returning from exile in France and passing tens of thousands of Sir John French's troops sailing in the opposite direction; or French, opposing the naysayers who denied the relevance of cavalry to twentieth-century warfare, while his sister Charlotte defied intimidation by police on horseback during WSPU marches.
However, Hochschild is sometimes less successful in conveying nuance, or in providing the analysis necessary to back up his descriptive material. His treatment of the war resisters is a case in point. Their actual beliefs remain ill-defined, so we are never made aware of the many different shades of opinion that existed, all the way from religious absolutists to the voluntarists who objected to conscription rather than war. Vital connections are missing too, and Hochschild fails to demonstrate the success of British feminists' victory in winning the vote in 1918 by their association of citizenship with war service rather than with masculinity. Patriotic men and women were enfranchised - including underage boys who had served at the front - while pacifists and conscientious objectors saw their right to vote challenged, and withdrawn. His book is based to a large extent on a wide range of secondary sources, and makes appropriate acknowledgement of Trevor Wilson's The Myriad Faces of War, which, a quarter of a century after it was published, is still the standard work on the British experience of the First World War. But nothing makes To End All Wars appear more determinedly old-fashioned in its outlook than the book's limited focus on the fighting on the Western Front. Other theatres of war are barely mentioned in passing.
"Every day one meets saddened women, with haggard faces and lethargic movements", Beatrice Webb noted in her diary a week after the Armistice, "and one dare not ask after husband and son." After nearly a century, the toll of suffering continues to defy belief. A million dead from the British Empire, 41,000 British men with one or more limbs amputated, another 10,000 blinded, and 65,000 veterans still receiving treatment for shell shock a decade after the war. In conclusion, Hochschild asks the questions that will have been present in the minds of many of his readers. If one could roll back time to the beginning of the twentieth century and remove one event from history, is there any doubt that it would be the war of 1914-18? Would it have been better for Britain to have stayed out of the war in 1914, allowing the Kaiser's Germany a swift victory? Would German victory over France have been so disastrous, given the "catastrophic after-effects" of the Great War, above all the rise of Nazism?
The so-called revisionist historians of the First World War can't help appearing callous as they commend some of the strategic decisions of the British Army's high command, while omitting to mention the massive suffering endured by its soldiers. Sometimes they remind one of Churchill's comparison of Haig to a surgeon in the pre-anaesthetic era: if the patient expired under the knife, "he would not reproach himself". By contrast, To End All Wars is a book that avowedly wears its heart on its sleeve. Nothing speaks more clearly or movingly of the spirit of futility that pervades Adam Hochschild's perspective on the war than a recent discovery in the Saint-Symphorien military cemetery, east of Mons. There, by extraordinary coincidence, lie the first and last British soldiers to die in the war: sixteen-year-old John Parr of Finchley, North London, a golf caddy, who lied about his age in order to enlist, and George Ellison, a forty-year-old miner from Leeds, who survived all but the last ninety minutes of fighting. Parr and Ellison, killed within a few miles of each other, fighting to secure the same stretch of ground, are now buried under pine trees, seven yards apart.
Mark Bostridge's recent books are Florence Nightingale: The woman and her legend and Because You Died, an edition of Vera Brittain's First World War poetry and prose, both published in 2008. He is writing a study of England in 1914.
