I had the chance to take my favorite yoga class this morning. It's an awesome class for me: flow-based and fairly vigorous, with a teacher who offers the less strenuous modifications first and who always asks before physically adjusting a student in a pose. In fact, the worst thing I can say about the class is that it's at a time when I usually have to be at work — and so when I can easily engineer not to be at work at that time, you bet I'm taking off for yoga.
As such, while I'm not a stranger in this class, I'm not a regular, either. That designation belongs to a small group of women for whom the instructor waits to begin class. (Not in the sense that they show up late, just in the sense that she knows they are coming.) The instructor herself is petite and slim, with visible muscle definition in her arms.
The class itself was wonderful. We got to play with some chair pose flows, some partnered warrior work, and some balances against the wall. While it was a practice that involved a lot of strength-building and while I could feel my muscles working, it was not a practice that pushed me to my physical edge. Which, totally fine and good, since that's not why I go to class.
On the way out, after rolling up our mats, one of the women said to me, "Now I understand why people who really do yoga have the bodies they do."
I didn't respond — because another class was starting, because I was headed to meet someone for lunch, because I just did not want to put myself out there for a stranger — but the statement bothered me then, and it bothers me now. I mean, I don't want to minimize any insecurity that this person may have been feeling, that she doesn't "really" do yoga or whatever. But I also think it's not cool to ask me to affirm that insecurity to her. I deal with plenty of my own.
I've been practicing for something over 13 years, on a near-daily basis for most of that time. In that time, I've experienced insecurity that I am a "yoga fraud" because:
- At the beginning, I couldn't do a lot of strength-intensive poses. Also, I got out of breath easily during more cardio-intense classes.
- I practice(d) largely at home with a DVD. Cue added insecurity about using the "wrong" DVD. Also account for technology improvements by including online classes.
- I practice(d) largely at home without a video guide, making up my own sequences.
- I'm not vegetarian or vegan. Moreover, while I care about sustainably grown and fairly traded food products, the majority of the food I purchase is neither. Moreover, I like beer.
- I'm skeptical of a lot of the yoga woo. Especially, I outright reject the woo that looks to be at odds with realities like anatomy.
- I teach a yoga class — granted, free and at my school — but am not a certified yoga instructor.
But most of all, I feel insecure because I do not have a "yoga body." I mean that in the stereotypical — and limited — expectation of a body that is slim yet muscled, toned but never bulky.
That is not my body. My body has broad shoulders, a busty chest, wide hips, a curvy butt, and thick thighs that interfere with the proportions of some traditional poses and require that I get damn creative — and a little bit awkward — while remaining equanimous about it. My body requires modifications that haven't been invented yet (okay, maybe "have not been taught on a large scale" is more accurate). My body has fat covering its muscles, which apparently causes people to misjudge how "real" my yoga practice is. Moreover, all the daily practice in the world has not given me a "yoga body" that is closer to the slim, sculpted ideal.
And yet.
This body?
Is the one that shows up to practice with me every day. It is my yoga body. It is the only body I have.

Westwood News
WESTWOOD—Heart attacks are not usually concerns of note for pregnant women, but as more and more wait till later in life to become pregnant, rates of heart disease among expectant mothers over the past decade have increased.
"While research has
shown that the heart typically functions better during pregnancy due to a rise
in cardiac pumping capacity to meet increased demands"¦heart attacks occurring
in the last trimester or late months of pregnancy result in worse heart
function and more damaged heart tissue," according to a study by UCLA
Dubbed "Cardiac vulnerability to ischemia/reperfusion injury drastically increases in late pregnancy," researchers determined that pregnant women, particularly those in late stages are more vulnerable to a cardiac episode.
The study's senior author, Dr. Mansoureh Eghbali, an assistant professor of anesthesiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine, hypothesized this research could pioneer new medical advances for pregnant women with a pre-disposition to or who are at-risk for cardiovascular issues.
"We observed worse heart function and a greater area of damage in hearts from the late-pregnancy group, compared to the non-pregnant group," said first author Dr. Jingyuan Li, a postdoctoral fellow at Geffen.
Researchers studied the recovery rates of late-stage pregnant and non-pregnant animals, predominantly mice and rats, after suffering heart attacks. Pregnant animals had only 10 percent restoration after an event compared to the other group's 80 percent restoration. The severity of heart-related complications in pregnancy was made more evident by the pregnant group's quadrupled increase in tissue damage.
However, even more surprising were the subjects' states just one day after giving birth. Heart function was partially restored, and after a week, heart function was near levels of the corresponding non-pregnant state.
The study was targeting ischemia and reperfusion injury, a condition occurring after a heart attack, caused by a lack of blood flow followed by the reintroduction of blood that can cause serious issues, notably cellular damage.
Components of late-stage pregnancy like dysfunctional mitochondria, "key cellular sub-units that are involved in cell death, and the reduction of signaling proteins that protect the heart against reperfusion injury," endanger pregnant hearts, according to a release from the University.
The next string of studies will be more exploratory, the results of which researchers, including Eghbali, hope will yield revolutionary new drug therapy.

Black Cobra -- Kansas City, MO -- July 2nd, 2012
Black Cobra is heavy. That's all you really need to know. In front of a crowd that maxed out at about 75 (hey, it was a lot more than the last time I saw them), they absolutely destroyed. They rarely stopped playing, segueing into each song and only talked to the crowd about three times. But they played a ton of songs. The set I have is out of order but I'm almost positive they played those songs, plus maybe another 4 or 5. One guitarist had the heaviness and crunch of a full-fledged sludge band. It was a riff-filled night of doom. My neck is still sore from headbanging! :rocker:
(Out of order + missing another 3-4 songs.)
Somnae Tenebrae
Corrosion Fields
Negative Reversal
Storm Shadow
Five Daggers
Red Tide
Dragon & Phoenix
Hardcore duders Gaza opened for Black Cobra and they were a lot better than the first time I saw them. They sound a lot more like Converge now, which is definitely not a bad thing. They're also a very political band, but one that makes you so pissed off that you want to do something. They are still as chaotic and dissonant as ever, though. Good stuff.
There were two local bands opening. Tycho Brahe opened the show and they were kind of fun. I'd say they're a bit like a proggy (sorta) grind 'n' roll band, if that makes any sense. Definitely wanna see them again. Second band was Canyons who are usually really good, but their vocalist had lost his voice halfway through there set. That really sucks, because I know how great these guys are live.
Black Cobra: 9/10
Gaza: 8/10
Canyons: 6/10
Tycho Brahe: 7.5/10
I recently just saw Black Cobra and Gaza w/ Torche opening for C.O.C. and every band was HEAVY AS SHIT!!! I was pretty impressed with the lineup. Glad to see Gaza was playing this bill as well, they did some new songs from the forthcoming album. I had never heard Black Cobra before the show but will be checking them out if they come again.
I'd love to have seen this tour. Black Cobra were fucking awesome when I saw them a few years ago on tour with Bison BC, Priestess and High on Fire (still one of the best gigs I've ever been to, but Matt Pike proved that night that his current stint in rehab is, sadly, long overdue). [I]Invernal[/I] was the best album of their career so far, so I'm glad to hear they're playing a ton of songs from it. That sounds like a great set. "Chronosphere" is a fucking beast of a song...especially live. So good. :bowdown:

Bleeding during pregnancy is never normal especially if it is bright red and you are passing clots. The best way to know for sure what is going on is to call your OB and ask to have your quantitative HCG levels tested. In a healthy pregnancy your HCG levels should double over 48 hours. If your are slow to rise or decrease, then you will know if you are miscarrying. I'm sorry for what you are going through.posted 08/16/2010 by sugar&spiceX3

A 'Les Sept Âges de L'Homme' Fan
A delicate18th century fan, featuring a French translation of the 'Seven Ages of Man' speech from As You Like It
This paper and bone fan is decorated with seven hand-coloured, oval, stipple-engraved images. Each image shows one of the Seven Ages of Man (infant, childhood, lover, soldier, justice, old age, and extreme old age) as described in Shakespeare's famous speech from As You like It. The engraved text beneath is an anonymous French translation of the 'Seven Ages of Man' speech. It is the only 18th century object we have that features the work of Shakespeare translated into a foreign language. On the other side of the fan there is an oval portrait of Shakespeare within a starburst.
Fans were an important accessory throughout the 18th century. They ranged from those with simple, paper leaves to highly ornate, expensive versions, especially designed for particular clients. Although its original function was to cool the face, the fan became an important way of conveying feelings depending on how it was handled and displayed.
This fan would probably have been aimed at the middle classes as the images are stipple engraved, which would have made it a cheaper option. Stipple engraving was a printmaking technique popular in the late 18th century. More expensive fans tended to be hand painted.

Tycho's Nova, a well-known supernova remnant caused by a Type Ia supernova. Now two groups of astronomers are at odds over the mysterious nature of Supernova 2005E: Was it a Type Ia, Type II or something entirely different? (NASA)
News comes to us across the pond from the BBC that there's a bit of a scientific kerfuffle at the moment concerning possible explanations for what could turn out to be a new kind of supernova… or not. Two teams take different sides in the journal Nature.
The team from Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics maintains that features of the so-called Supernova 2005E — first observed by telescopes in 2005 — don't match the established criteria for designating it a Type Ia (caused when a white dwarf star or the thermonuclear explosion of an old dead star) or Type II supernova (caused when a young massive star runs out of fuel and implodes). They conclude that we are seeing a new type of supernova. But a team from Japan's Hiroshima University begs to differ, based on their analysis of a supernova with similar properties (SN 2005cz), arguing that 2005E is more likely to have been caused by the core-collapse scenario.
Who's right? We'll just have to wait for more experimental evidence and analysis to find out. But such debates are nothing new. In fact, this new debate over SN2005E reminded me of one of the most famous academic clashes in astrophysics history: The Shapley-Curtis Debate, a.k.a., "The Great Debate."
It happened in April 1920, at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, and it centered in the nature of the spiral nebulae and the size of the universe. The key players were Heber D Curtis, a well-established authority on spiral nebulae, and a promising young (and ambitious!) upstart named Harlow Shapley. This was before Edwin Hubble's groundbreaking work (which helped resolve the dispute), so it was very much an open question at the time. Wikipedia nicely sums up the gist of the controversy:
Shapely and Curtis decided to settle the matter once and for all in a debate held at the Natural History Museum in Washington, DC. According to historical documents on NASA's Website, the idea of a debate on this subject was proposed by George Ellery Hale, and enthusiastically embraced by Curtis. He was the more senior researcher, and known for his skill at public presentation and effectively arguing his case.
Shapley knew of his rival's reputation, and was understandably more reluctant to accept the challenge — particularly since, despite his relative youth (mid-30s), he was being considered as a possible director for the Harvard College Observatory to succeed the late Edward C. Pickering. He just didn't want to risk such a public routing.
Eventually Shapley agreed, and the rest is history. Although by modern standards, it was an odd sort of debate: each man gave a 40-minute presentation and each was allowed one short rebuttal to the others remarks, followed by discussion from the assembled audience of scientists. And according to science historian Michael Hoskin, the published papers of that debate by both men — appearing in the May 1921 Bulletin of the National Research Council — don't accurately reflect what was actually said at the debate itself. But they do nicely summarize the evidence for each argument, based on the scientific evidence available at the time.
So, who won? Well, it depends. If we're scoring just on debating skills, Curtis emerged victorious, certainly by his own estimation: in a May 15 letter ti his family, he wrote, "Debate went off fine in Washington and I have been assured that I came out considerably in front." Several colleagues who were present agreed. And Shapley did not, alas, win the coveted directorship.
But if we're talking about who won on the scientific merits, the winner is less clear. A few years later, Hubble identified Cepheid variable stars in the Andromeda Galaxy, and he used that to show that the galaxy was even further away than Shapley had first proposed. Score one point for Shapley. And in the 1930s, astronomers discovered the effect of interstellar absorption, which led them to accept that the Milky Way was much larger than previously estimated, and also that the sun was not near its center. Also, better telescope resolutions revealed that there were many other galaxies beyond the Milky Way, and that the spiral nebulae were, in fact, galaxies. Score one point for Curtis. They were both wrong in concluding that interstellar absorption wasn't important for determining a galaxy's size, however.
So it was draw, and a very respectable one at that. No doubt resolving the current question of SN 2005E will turn out to be equally nuanced. That's scientific life at the cutting edge!

Tuesday January 22, 2013
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- Earnest Ross and Jabari Brown hit key 3-pointers in the final 1:11 and No. 22 Missouri overcame 5-for-27 shooting from long range and a 13-point second-half deficit to beat South Carolina 71-65 on Tuesday night.
Ross had a career-best 21 points and Brown had 17 for Missouri (14-4, 3-2 Southeastern Conference), which is 11-0 at home this season and has won 12 straight at the Mizzou Arena since losing to Kansas State and coach Frank Martin, now in his first year at South Carolina, on Feb. 21, 2012.
Brown had eight points in a 20-2 run that gave Missouri a five-point lead with just under 12 minutes to go. Alex Oriakhi was 10 for 10 at the line and fouled out in the final minute with 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Tigers, who won despite 33 percent overall shooting.
Brenton Williams had 16 points with four 3-pointers for South Carolina (11-7, 1-4).

O n a Tuesday at 5 p.m., the Bikery , a one-room, not-for-profit bicycle workshop in the Central District, is already filled to capacity. Fletcher>"/>
On a Tuesday at 5 p.m., the Bikery, a one-room, not-for-profit bicycle workshop in the Central District, is already filled to capacity. Fletcher Christie, a blonde volunteer with a pixie cut and a bike tattoo on her shoulder, explains something in Spanish to a guy in a Mariners cap. Every inch of the small space—the areas that aren't already occupied by people working on bikes in various stages of completion—is piled with tires and other jetsam. Bare bike frames hang from the ceiling. Parts are everywhere. If you don't watch your step, you might trip on an errant hub.
Until last October, the Bikery collective (mostly comprising folks in their mid- to late 20s) held its workshops wherever it could: at the Garfield Community Center, in empty bank parking lots on weekends, and in people's garages. Rent's not cheap here, but Ellie Kaszniak, a Bikery volunteer who's been involved with the cooperative since it began almost three years ago, says it was important to find an address that was fixed, accessible, and not in somebody's backyard. "We wanted it to be a community space," she says.
After years of roving, the Bikery opened its current Central District location last October. Word's traveled fast, both among adults and neighborhood kids, and the nice summer weather means more people than ever are coming to avail themselves of the volunteer staff's free advice, cheap parts, cheap rebuilt bikes, and inexpensive bike-maintenance classes ($5–$15 donation).
The one thing the Bikery doesn't offer is mechanic services. No one here is going to fix your bike for you, because the Bikery wants to promote self-sufficiency. And how self-sufficient can you really be if you don't know how to make simple repairs?
Cooperative bike workshops like this aren't a new phenomenon. Other bike co-ops with similar philosophies exist not only in Seattleâ€"like the Bike Shack in Wallingfordâ€"but around the country. But what sets the Bikery apart is its emphasis on deconstructing the dominant bike culture and opening up cycling as an activity for everyone to enjoy.
Above all, the Bikery strives to build a diverse, respectful, bike-centric community that includes nearby residents, while actively attempting not to contribute to the gentrification of the Central District neighborhood where the Bikery's located (on Main Street, near the corner of Rainier Avenue South and South Jackson Street). "While we all clearly like bikes, a lot of people come to the Bikery not because they're necessarily bike geeks, but because they're into the idea of community," Christie says. Kaszniak is especially excited that neighborhood kids have discovered the place. "My biggest goal with the Bikery," she says, "is that the kids coming in now will eventually be the ones running it."â€"Sara Brickner

Should Parents of Children With Severe Disabilities Be Allowed to Stop Their Growth? (Genevieve Field, NY Times Magazine, 3-22-16) Caring for people with severe mental and physical limitations becomes vastly harder as they get older. Some parents believe medically stunting them is the answer � but is it ethical?
Far From the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity by Andrew Solomon. Solomon "begins by describing his own experience as the gay son of heterosexual parents, then goes on to investigate the worlds of deaf children of hearing parents, dwarves born into �normal� families, and so on. His observations and conclusions are complex and not easily summarized, with one exception: The chapter on children of law-abiding parents who become criminals. Solomon rightly points out that this is a very different situation indeed: �to be or produce a schizophrenic...is generally deemed a misfortune,� he writes. �To...produce a criminal is often deemed a failure.� Still, parents must cope with or not, accept or not, the deeds or behaviors or syndromes of their offspring. How they do or do not do that makes for fascinating and disturbing reading."~Sara Nelson

�This anthology sings with Walt Whitman�s spirit of democracy, a celebration of our diversity. Each selection is a song of self; some have perfect pitch, some the waver of authenticity. All demonstrate the power of the word to salvage from the onrush of life, nuggets worth saving.�
~ Tristine Rainer, author of Your Life as Story and Writing the New Autobiography
"Many descriptions of autism and Asperger's describe people like me as 'not wanting contact with others' or 'preferring to play alone.' I can't speak for other kids, but I'd like to be very clear about my own feelings. I did not ever want to be alone. And all those child psychologists who said 'John prefers to play by himself' were dead wrong. I played by myself because I was a failure at playing with others. I was alone as a result of my own limitations, and being alone was one of the bitterest disappointments of my young life. The sting of those early failures followed me long into adulthood, even after I learned about Asperger's."
~ John Elder Robison, in Look Me In the Eye: My Life with Asperger's, p. 211
"...illness is terrible but, with some luck, it can also be full of wonders. The terrors assault us at once; the wonders take longer to become visible. Stories help us gain some distance from the terrors and learn to perceive the wonders, but storytelling is a skill, and like all skills, it takes practice to be most effective. Stories offer witness to all that is badly wrong and needs to be changed, and stories offer imaginations of a more generous life that can be. In telling all kinds of stories, we find healing."
~ Arthur Frank, Stories and Healing

Model Lauren Scruggs Is Dating E! News's Jason Kennedy — Report
You never know which boldface names are going to find each other and fall in "high school love"!
According to Us Weekly, model/fashion blogger Lauren Scruggs and E! News correspondent Jason Kennedy have been dating casually for the past few months.
Lauren — still remembered for being injured after walking into an airplane propeller — lives in Dallas and Jason is in L.A., but a source told the magazine that they travel back and forth to see each other and have an old-fashioned kind of romance.
"They're cute," the insider told Us Weekly. "They keep it super PG. They don't even stay in the same hotels or places when they visit each other. It is like courting — high school love."
Jason, 31, and Lauren, 25, have been tweeting and sharing photos together, including the gorgeous photo shown with friends from an apparent trip to Positano, Italy. Jealous!
Congrats to the new couple and their PG relationship!

Personal motivation is the most important thing in learning
People learn best when they're personally motivated. Aristotle called it "the desire to know" and it comes from feeling connected to new ideas. When people see how new ideas can help them improve relationships, achieve goals or realise values, learning becomes effortless. That's why we designed Cognician to recreate great conversations. Cognician's questions provoke thinking. Users learn from their responses. And these online chats lead to change.
We work with partners
We'll help you create lasting positive results in the people you reach. The trend towards online learning is growing. But you're not looking for e-learning software. You need a platform that can do what you do face-to-face. Cognician's chat-based methodology can do that. Let us help you integrate your company's language and IP into self-coaching modules that simulate the experience of chatting with an expert teacher, mentor or coach. Our methodology incorporates the user experience into the learning equation, making learning personal and 'sticky'.
We work with clients
We'll work with you to develop bespoke software solutions that utilise self-directed e-coaching to effect positive behaviour change, increase self-awareness, develop people and create leaders within your organisation. Imagine being able to track the progress of your users, monitor results, see change... all the while saving money while your users make valuable gains in reaching their potential.

New Protection Against Six-Legged Threats
August 31, 2010
By PEO Soldier
Story Highlights
- The Army is now issuing uniforms that have been factory-treated with the insect repellent, permethrin.
- Permethrin provides peerless protection from many of the insect-borne illnesses that pose a threat to Soldiers.
- Permethrin has the approval of the Environmental Protection Agency and is used by civilian companies to make insect-repelling clothing.

Soldiers are issued gear such as body armor, protective eyewear, and helmets to protect them from threats on the battlefield, but now they will get protection against a common enemy from the most basic piece of equipment - their uniforms. The Army is now issuing Flame-Resistant Army Combat Uniforms (FR ACUs) that have been factory-treated with the insect repellent, permethrin, to help protect Soldiers against the annoyance and dangers of biting insects and insect-borne diseases.
Permethrin is a synthetic insect repellent that mimics natural compounds found in chrysanthemum flowers. FR ACUs receiving factory treatments of permethrin will be given the designation FRACU-P. Permethrin factory treatment began in 2010 and will initially only be available to Soldiers deploying overseas. Factory treatment for all FR ACUs will start in 2012.
FR ACUs are just one of the many items we have been developing to improve Soldier survivability, effectiveness, and comfort. As PEO Soldier, we are the Army acquisition agency responsible for developing, procuring, and fielding nearly everything Soldiers wear or carry. Enhancing defenses against biting insects and the spread of dangerous diseases is one example of the Army's commitment to Soldiers.
"Over the history of warfare, disease and non-battle injury has been one of our biggest sources of casualties and degradation of our combat power," said COL Peter Benson, U.S. Army Special Operations Command, Command Surgeon. "By protecting Soldiers from these diseases, it keeps more Soldiers in the fight and decreases the burden on the medical care system when deployed."
Permethrin provides peerless protection from many of the insect-borne illnesses that pose a threat to Soldiers, such as malaria and dengue fever, which are difficult to treat and can be fatal.
"Since the 1990s, the Army has been using various permethrin treated uniforms," explained LTC Michael Sloane, Product Manager, Soldier Clothing and Individual Equipment. "Now, we actually get the uniform and it already has not only the fire resistant treatment in it, but the additional protection against bugs."
The pre-treatment of uniforms means one less task for Soldiers as they prepare to deploy and, unlike previous versions, the factory-treated uniforms do not have an unpleasant smell. While permethrin does not provide a 100 percent guarantee that a Soldier won't be bitten (Soldiers will still need to take precautions, such as maintaining good hygiene and using the insect repellent DEET on their skin), factory treatment of uniforms will provide 70 percent bite protection for up to 50 washes, with a decreasing (but still extremely high) percentage of bite protection thereafter.
Permethrin has the approval of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is used by civilian companies to make insect-repelling clothing for outdoor enthusiasts. The Army will not be the first to use clothing that is factory-treated with permethrin. The U. S. Marine Corps currently fields uniforms that are factory-treated with permethrin, and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point has a contract with a commercial company that makes clothing and gear with built-in insect repellent.
Soldiers will be required to take certain steps to ensure their uniforms provide the highest level of protection from biting insects. They should not dry-clean their factory-treated permethrin uniforms, since dry-cleaning will greatly reduce the uniform's bite protection. Soldiers will also need to launder their uniforms separately from civilian clothing. Further care and handling instructions will be on the uniform's tags.

When space is in short supply, the new ECR25D, ECR58D and ECR88D short swing radius compact excavators from Volvo Construction Equipment are in their element in small, enclosed areas. But even with their compact size, the D-Series compact excavators boast digging performance, breakout and tear out forces, and lifting capabilities that rival their larger counterparts. These machines also feature engines that offer superior performance and reduced fuel consumption.
Getting around site on these compact machines has never been easier thanks to automatic two-speed travel for optimized traction, as well as hydraulic travel pedals for easy and accurate track control. The ECR25D has the added feature of high mobility: it can be transported with up to three buckets and a hydraulic breaker on a small trailer and still weigh less than 3.5 tonnes, including the trailer. Four accessible tie-down points further aid easy and safe transportation.
Super superstructures
Featuring a narrow body design and centrally positioned boom on the ECR58D and ECR88D, the superstructure on these ECR models is so compact that its rear swings within its track shoe, and the ECR25D only exceeds track width when equipped with an additional counterweight. This means that the excavator can get extremely close to objects without risk of collision with the rear of the machine as it swings. But the short front/rear radius is also well suited to working within a single highway lane, minimizing disruption to the flow of traffic. This feature can sometimes be a prequalification condition on contracts.
The ECR25D, ECR58D and ECR88D are available with a mono-boom (or an optional two-piece boom on the ECR88D), several arm configurations and blade for greater flexibility. Thanks to their reinforced, three-piece, high-tensile steel X-shaped frame undercarriage, they are durable and reliable, able to withstand the rigors of demanding work environments. The D-Series offers a variety of optional quick couplers and a new and extensive range of genuine Volvo attachments. ECR excavators also offer class-leading digging depths.
Quickly positioning the machine is easy, with slew and offset movements controlled simultaneously with a joystick that's precise and effortless to use. Superior hydraulics and pump flow also help provide faster cycle times and better digging performance.
Powerful efficiency
New engines deliver lower emissions along with superior performance and fuel efficiency. This equates to higher productivity and lower operating costs. The ECR25D is fitted with a 15.5 kW (21.1hp) engine, while the ECR58D comes with a four-cylinder Tier 4f (North America) or Stage IIIA (Europe and Asia) engine producing 36.5 kW (50 hp). The ECR88D comes with a four-cylinder, 43 kW (58 hp) Tier 4f/Stage IIIB engine. The ECR58D and ECR88D feature an exhaust-after-treatment system (EATS) for lower emissions and seamless operation, performance and productivity – even during regeneration.
An auto-idling system reduces engine speed when the controls are inactive for a specified time (operator pre-set on the ECR58D and ECR88D via the display between three and 20 seconds), reducing running costs and fuel consumption.
Small but spacious
Though small, these D-Series ECR excavators provides a superior operator experience — and a comfortable operator environment naturally delivers higher productivity. The cab (standard to the ECR58D and ECR88D) is ROPS-certified and features modern styling with all-around visibility provided by large expanses of flat glass. Comfort is delivered by an adjustable seat, superior vibration and noise insulation, ergonomic armrests, ideally placed controls and a large floor area for increased foot space.
Uptime UP
For extended uptime, the D-Series compact excavators are easy to service and maintain. All check and cleaning points are readily accessible at ground level and grouped together under a wide-opening lockable hood. Boom and arm greasing points are also easily accessible, and in general applications greasing need only be carried out every 10-50 hours. Finally, among its many useful features, Volvo's optional CareTrack remote telematics system, available on the ECR58D and ECR88D, conducts a self-diagnostic routine, alerting the operator – or the fleet manager back at the office – if a fault is detected, in addition to monitoring fuel consumption and when the next service is due. CareTrack on the ECR25D includes geo fence and geo tracking, keeps track of engine on/off status, and provides an hour report.

From the sublime to the ridiculous: sometimes from the first shot of a film you feel like you're in the presence of a stinker. "Berlin Telegram" begins with a scene of a woman singer fronting a rock band and crying as she sings. It's a semi-autobiographical story of a self-conscious (not to say narcissistic and solipsistic) woman who moves to Berlin after her boyfriend dumps her (i.e., the end of the world) and works through her pain until she eventually feels better. Well, a little better.
I try to remind myself that I defended Nora Ephron's novel "Heartburn," about the breakup of her marriage to Carl Bernstein, by saying that she got art out of a messy situation, whereas some people just got the messy situation. (But "Heartburn" is funny!) I remind myself that Taylor Swift pleases (and makes) millions with similarly narcissistic and solipsistic works of art, about even less-deeply-felt relationships. And I listen as the audience tells the director how brave and intimate her sharing was. I'm still unconvinced.
Between "Berlin Telegram" and the last movie of the day I hang out in a huge and healthy-looking Borders bookstore – I guess they didn't go bankrupt everywhere. This one is stuffed full of toys and tchotchkes as well as books and more magaxzines than I knew were still being published. It feels like the last century! Here in Dubai it seems there are several versions of Time Out being published: one on Style, another for kids, and I purchase this week's Dubai city guide, featuring the 101 Best Dishes in Dubai, packaged with a Home & Garden supplement.
Then I see "Here and There," winner of the Critic's Week prize at Cannes, a fictionalized, low-key story of a Mexican man who returns to his wife and daughters in a small village after years of living alone in New York in the hopes of establishing a band and making a living there, made with unprofessional actors. The director, Antonio Mendez Esparza, got the idea for the film from the man who plays the lead role – his real wife plays his wife, but his two daughters were played by others (his two actual daughters were tested, but tended to hide from the camera!).
It's a sweet, small movie, whose impact builds from its quiet repetitions and accretions of calm, almost monotonous dialogue, that still becomes heartbreaking. It's a nice way to end the day.

Sierra women to face familiar foe
By: Cecil Conley, Sports Editor
Here they go again. Brandie Murrish and her Sierra College women's basketball team will face a familiar foe in the semifinals of the Northern California Regional playoffs Saturday night in Santa Rosa. Sierra (20-11) lost twice to Santa Rosa (21-11) in the Big 8 Conference, but that was then as far as Murrish is concerned. She is confident her team will be ready to give Santa Rosa all it can handle. The eighth-seeded Wolverines bolstered their coach's confidence Wednesday night with an 80-75 victory at No. 1 Fresno City. Santa Rosa is seeded fourth in the 18-team Northern California playoffs. Fresno City (27-5) had scored 90 or more points in 14 games and 100 or more five times. Defense was the difference for Sierra in erasing an 11-point deficit in the second half to pull out the victory. "We had a great defensive effort," Murrish said. Balanced scoring also paid dividends for Sierra. Sophomore Tori Carroll had 19 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman Victoria Turner added 16, including two free throws with 11 seconds to play. Sophomores Sam Hodge and Ashlynn Lussier each scored 13 points. Sophomore Kristen Huffman contributed 10 points and 10 rebounds. Sierra is one of eight teams still standing in the state playoffs, but the top eight will not advance to the state tournament this season. Budget cuts have turned the tournament into a final four. A win Saturday night will send the Wolverines to Ventura College for the state semifinals March 12. Sierra will have a score to settle after losing 60-58 at Santa Rosa on Feb. 8. Santa Rosa won by 23 points at Sierra on Jan. 14. Murrish is not thinking of the past at this point of a long season. "We were not on the same page (in January)," she said. "We've got a little mojo going right now."

Last week I tackled Portal; and the response was interesting. While I'd love to see Portal as a movie — that was really an intro-session into the Valve universe, and a step toward discussing my next Pixel to Projector nominee — Half-life.
Almost anyone that is a fan of first person shooters has a soft Spot for Valve Software's launch title — and with good reason. The ever silent Dr. Gordon Freeman is iconic in the gaming community, as are many of the characters that fill his world. From Vortigaunts, The Combine, Alyx Vance, the ever present Headcrabs, and of course — the mysterious G-Man — Half-life is rich with characters and situations ripe for transition to the big screen.
While any fan knows that the Half-life saga has been told over multiple games and expansions, I'll be keeping this article firmly in the original story.
Gordon Freeman is a theoretical physicist working at the Black Mesa Research Facility in New Mexico. While assisting in an experiment in the Anomalous Materials Lab, he inadvertently participates in creating a "resonance cascade" after pushing a non-standard specimen into the scanning beam of an anti-mass spectrometer — causing a rift in space/time that opens a portal between Earth and the dimension Xen. From said portal pours the unsavory residents on the other side, with a proclivity to kill everything in sight. Gordon survives the initial dimensional fracture, and finds himself the only human left capable of navigating the destroyed facility, seeking help, and eventually closing the rift — all while battling not only the alien lifeforms, but the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit sent to wipe the laboratory and everything inside of it, humans included, off the map.
How is this not perfect movie fodder? After the buggery that was Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Doom, we could use an alien shooter with class — and anyone that is a fan knows that Valve pulled no punches on character development and atmosphere in this game.
What it would take to make it a movie
Not a thing more than what it already is — a well written story, with engaging characters, and a hell of a lot of gross aliens looking to eat you or stuff their ovipositor down your throat and lay eggs in your stomach. So far as complete packages are concerned in a clean and easy transition from your console to the big screen — Half-life is an easy sell.
Still, I have one thought…
Valve has a thing for silent protagonists, as like Chell from Portal, Dr. Freeman never speaks during any of the games — to the amusement of his peers, which is sort of fun. I like that it's acknowledge during the game that Freeman isn't big on words, preferring to do his talking via orange crowbar. Still, unlike my previous assertion that Chell need not speak for the entirety of the film based around her, I think it imperative that Freeman communicate in a Half-life movie — though I submit that it should be infrequently, well timed, and meaningful when he does. I always pictured Freeman as a sort of savant; many of the über-intelligent in the scientific community being fairly withdrawn; sort of in their own world. Dr. Temple Grandin, a high functioning autistic, describes my view of Freeman better than I could in describing herself.
She calls herself a primarily visual thinker, and that language — is her second language. Dr. Freeman is a brilliant theoretical physicist, and spends much of the game solving physics based puzzles — I like to think his silence has more to do with his having a touch of Asperger's Syndrome. Really. It's a great way to explain away his being the complete opposite of a social butterfly, and why his friends and colleagues in the game take his silence with a lot of humor and gentle teasing. Yeah, this is a movie about killing a giant-headed, floating, portal controlling baby alien (no…seriously), but that would be a fun and informative spin on Freeman's strong, silent type persona.

Effective and convenient
Posted by LantauMama on Dec 08, 2013
I recently had a terrible cold/flu and was out in bed for days. As my symptoms were changing daily, I was changing my homeopathic approach addressing each symptom with a single homeopathic remedy. By the last few days, my symptoms were all over the place, so I took these. As soon as my kids started to show early symptoms of what I had - I gave them these morning and night and they never got sick. While I prefer to treat symptoms with single homeopathy tablets, this combined tablet is great for both the convenience and effectiveness.

Wonderful product
Posted by Reviewer3185862 on Mar 26, 2012
My doctor recommended me to take Oscillococcinum when I get the flu symptoms. I bought anas barbariae from Similsan. It helped the same but for ten times less. It is not allowed in Switzerland anymore so I was very happy to find that Hyland's also has a product which contains anas barbarieae. For many years I have not had the flu. I used to get the flu each winter. Every time somebody used to sneeze or cough I got ill. Now I take a few tablets at the first symtoms and they dissapear within a very short time. It also helps my daughter. And it has absolutely no side effects. I can only highly recommend it.

I've made it to the steek and I've done a trial steek on a swatch -- it was much easier than I thought!
Do you use one strand of yarn or two to knit the front bands? I've tried it on the swatch with 2 strands and it seems a bit thick. Has anyone tried using one strand for the bands?
I love the sweater --even thought I had to frog from the neck back to below the sleeves -- not a good day when that happened. I also had 2 of my knit picks options cables come apart when I had just put the body and both sleeves on the needle -- that was scary too! Is there any kind of glue you can use to put the threaded ends back on the cable?
Thanks, Charlotte

I swatched and steeked my swatch, like you did. Then I used the steeked swatch to try picking up front bands. I tried single and double stranded, and also double-stranded to the turning row then single stranded for the inside part to make it less thick.
In the end I did double stranded throughout and was very happy with how it came out. If you are on Ravelry you can see photos on my project page. I'm not sure if there are any closeups of the button band, but I can try to take some tonight (I've been wearing the sweater as an extra layer to keep warm on this chilly day in the NYC Blizzard). http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ema2two/classic-lines-cardigan-pattern
Beth, Your sweater is beautiful! I almost picked the same colour combo -- mine is the midnight blue and spring green combo. I'm just working on the steeked swatch and doing a band with single yarn -- it does look pretty skimpy. I think I'll go for the bands in the 2 strands of yarn.
I can't believe all the snow in NYC -- I've seen some pictures of the streets --I hope you're safe and warm and able to get around the city.
Thanks, Charlotte

In June 2003, a contingent of 11 Fordham faculty members and administrators visited Iberoamericana University, a Jesuit institution in Puebla, Mexico, with a modest proposal—a faculty/student exchange. They came away with a much more comprehensive and meaningful partnership that far exceeded expectations.
"What was designed as a get-acquainted mission," said Nina Tassi, Ph.D., associate vice president for academic affairs, "resulted in incredible bonds of intellectual and personal kinship."
The idea for the initial visit evolved out of conversations among Tassi; Gerald Blaszczak, S.J., vice president for University mission and ministries; and John Hollwitz, Ph.D., vice president for academic affairs, about initiating partnerships with the international network of Jesuit universities. Convinced that the futures of the United States and Mexico will become more closely entwined, and considering the large number of immigrants in New York from the State of Puebla, the group agreed Iberoamericana University seemed the perfect place to start.
"It has been just one year since our first official contact," said Alberto Fischer, director of external affairs and exchanges at Ibero, "and already we have exchanged several faculty as well as student groups. We have found similar interests in many areas, not only in academic fields but also in ways our two institutions can positively affect society. And we are developing this partnership as friends."
The faculty at Fordham has embraced the opportunity to work with their counterparts in Mexico, and a number of academic programs and exchanges have already taken place or are being planned.
•Last spring, Orlando Rodriguez, Ph.D., professor of sociology, gave a five-day course at Ibero for graduate students and faculty on program evaluation research. He will return next year to work with Ibero faculty on the creation of an evaluation research group, an effort he hopes will lead to professionals trained to assist government, private business and other fields in solving social problems.
•Barbara Mundy, Ph.D., chair of the art history department, led a group of students to Puebla for a course on Mexican colonial art.
•Mary Beth Combs, Ph.D., professor of economics, and Jeanne Flavin, Ph.D., professor of sociology, team-taught a mini-course at Ibero on women, economics and domestic violence.
•Hugo Benavides, Ph.D., professor of anthropology and a member of the original contingent to visit Ibero, has invited two Ibero faculty members to guest lecture in his classes.
"We met as equals interested in mutual learning experiences," said Benavides of his Puebla colleagues. "It impressed me that Ibero is willing to tackle such contemporary issues as gender and sexuality."
Fordham and Ibero will jointly sponsor an international conference at Lincoln Center in August 2005 on entrepreneurship and human rights, and the possibility of additional student exchanges to Puebla is being explored.
"We think the importance of this partnership lies in the establishment of ties with other Jesuit universities in an intellectual and spiritual way," said Tassi. "Already these mutual exchanges have lent a whole new dimension to the teaching and research enterprise."
Father Blaszczak sees an additional advantage. "Education is one of the most powerful tools for advancing human understanding," he said, "and that can help bring individuals and countries together."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Middle linebacker Nate Webster was among the mild surprises Monday as the Denver Broncos released their first depth chart of training camp.
Webster got the nod over free agent Niko Koutouvides. He played strongside linebacker a year ago and made an impression for his work ethic during the offseason training sessions.
The Broncos brought in Koutouvides from Seattle at a price of $7.2 million over three years to play middle linebacker.
Meanwhile, defensive tackle Marcus Thomas finds himself ahead of six-year veteran Kenny Peterson, who had been practicing with the first-stringers for most of camp. While not having had a particularly standout rookie season, Thomas said he expects a lot more out of himself this season.
