I am not a perfectionist – just ask my wife – but I have an annoying tendency to want to do things right the first time, and not getting it right frustrates me. This despite the reality that, if I have no experience doing something, I cannot exactly do that something particularly well.
Anywise, enough whining. Aside from being wider than strictly necessary, yesterday's lens cover holster turned out pretty well. That made up for this:
Oh, sure, it looks ok-ish from the side (aside from looking a little sad), but turn 90 degrees and…
That shim – the flat white thing – is there because my chicago screws are too long for one layer of 0.06" and one layer of 0.125" kydex… which is kind of funny, given they are almost too short for two layers of 0.06" riveted together plus one layer of 0.125". Go figure.
Anywise, once I get shorter chicago screws, the mag sheath will be a little closer to my pants, but thanks to that big-ass clip, it will still be riding a little ways out… Given it is just holding up a magazine, I have to wonder if a premade clip like one of these would be a little better.
I really need to learn to cut bigger than I think I need, though, as evinced by the rivets on the left side, and I hit the problem even worse today. I am not sure if my oven just sucks that hard, or kydex naturally shrinks no matter if you go over 330 or not, but, yeah, cut big, bake it, and then trim it down to where you want it.
Speaking of, if you want one of those lens cap covers for yourself, drop me a line – like I told Nick, $20 including shipping should cover them. On the flip side, this is a fine example of the reasons I stopped weblogging for now (the comments, not the post – ENDO is an awesome dude).

(tun´&l-ing) (n.) A technology that enables one network to send its data via another network's connections. Tunneling works by encapsulating a network protocol within packets carried by the second network. For example, Microsoft's PPTP technology enables organizations to use the Internet to transmit data across a VPN. It does this by embedding its own network protocol within the TCP/IP packets carried by the Internet.
Tunneling is also called encapsulation.

Your Opinion: Sounding off on noise ordinance
Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Dear Editor:
The proposed sound ordinance had its third reading recently. But first it had a public hearing, the last chance to change the council's mind on the issue.
And what is the issue: Daytime will be defined from 7 a.m.-10 p.m., so much for family values. Who cares if your children can't go to sleep at a decent hour? Most of the city will have a new measurable decibel level, 85 dbs for that period of time and only five less for the rest of the time.
What does 85 dbs sound like? Imagine someone decides to cut the grass by your bedroom window. That's an 85. Now imagine them doing it for four hours straight. That will be legal under the new law.
Or, imagine you are on a country drive, the weather is nice, a cool breeze outside your windows rolled down and your radio on your favorite station when a diesel truck passes you. That's an 85 dbs. Now imagine that same truck next to you for two hours and you can't ditch it. The window's now rolled up and you have to give up on listening to your favorite station. That amount of noise will be legal.
Or, you live in the neighborhood of Prison Brews. A car goes by blasting its radio. That's an 85 dbs. Now imagine being forced to listen to the music on the Prison Brews patio for three hours because you live a block or more away from it as the sound waves bounce off walls and turns everything into noise. Under the proposed ordinance that will be legal.
This issue will impact on everyone living in Jeff City. Every commercial (even if there are residents with families living nearby) and industrial zones including the brick factory on McCarty, the fancy restaurants near the bicycle path and the nice houses and all of the lofts and businesses downtown will be impacted because we will be the only town that legalizes what the federal government classifies as endangering our health.
Even New York City does not allow these kinds of decibel measurements.

Last year, when the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals gave the green light to class-action litigation against Walmart, the law firm handling the case hailed the decision as good news not only for that lawsuit but for one the firm is pursuing against Issaquah-based Costco. Brad Seligman, lead counsel for the plaintiffs, told SW that the two gender discrimination cases were oh-so-similar. Yesterday, however, the U.S. Supreme Court came down on Walmart's side. Now Seligman is saying that the cases aren't so similar after all.
Seligman says this is a crucial point because the Supreme Court noted in its Walmart decision that the company did not have a policy, at the top levels, that promoted gender discrimination. (See pdf of decision.)
The California lawyer also argues that the Costco case is different because the potential "class" is much smaller--only about 1,000 women as opposed to the million and a half in the Walmart case. The latter was far too big for a single case, the Supreme Court ruled.
But Costco senior vice-president Joel Benoliel portrays Seligman and his colleagues as grasping at straws. "They've just suffered a horrendous loss. They've got to regroup and they're going to make all kind of claims.
The notion that top Issaquah executives made all promotion decisions is "patently false," Beoliel says. Such decisions are decentralized, he says, just as at Walmart. And even if the Costco case has fewer plaintiffs, their lawyers still have to show they all belong in the same class. And that bar is especially high for plaintiffs seeking financial damages, as are the women in the Costco case.
The Costco plaintiffs are also demanding changes in policy to prevent further gender discrimination. Benoliel, however, observes that yesterday's Supreme Court ruling said that plaintiffs can't seek both money and policy changes in a single case.
Ultimately, it's up to the 9th Circuit to decide how similar the Walmart and Costco cases are. Obviously, the appellate judges already see the cases as linked. When Walmart appealed the circuit's ruling in its case to the Supreme Court, the 9th Circuit judges said they would hold off on Costco until the Supremes weighed in. Now that they have, Seligman says he expects to hear shortly from the 9th Circuit requesting additional briefs in light of the decision.

Snug & Warm in below 0 temps...
By: Monte McLaughlin
I had a good pair of gloves insulated with Thinsulate. Many times when shoveling snow when temps dropped below zero I found myself battling frost bite and having to stop for warm ups. These gloves are both warm and they keep cold air and water out even in blowing snow conditions. Just Had a two week period with wind chills in the -10 thru - 20 and they were still warm. Then it dropped to -25 and into the -30's. I added thermal glove liners and they easily fit nice and snug but not too tight. Still Keeping warm. I just leave the liners in all the time now. That works fine too.

Once again, I witnessed a parent yelling at their child at the store - then their anger escalating to a child being spanked. Believe me, spanking does not work. It may temporarily stop a child's behavior - but it leaves emotional scars, humiliation and anger.
The Pediatrics journal published a study that showed children who are spanked by their parents are at greater risk for later problems in both behavior and vocabulary.
When adults spank children to get them to mind, too much has already gone wrong and the discipline has broken down. We know a big person should not hit a smaller person. Adults must set the example for good behavior. Therefore, you do not spit when you want a child to stop spitting, you do not yell when you want a child to stop yelling, and you do not hit when you want a child to stop hitting. Emotional scarring may result when a child is mistreated by an adult, whether verbally or physically.

Me too...? I really don't know except for Toadette's relationship with Mario.
what do you mean?
Oh, nothing. It's just that I don't know specifically Toad's relationship with Toadette. It was said that she was Toad's sister, other sources cite that she is Toad's friend... You know.
I love how sweet and nice these two turned out.
I never got to play that second MKAGP game. I heard there's a third one coming out this year!

"Now look what we have here...." I've heard rumours... but nothing so true as one in the flesh. You're an equilibrium angel aren't you... how disgusting..." Mars appeared between his pet and the angel and spat in his general direction.
"Mongrel... how disgusting... it's people like you who ruin my fun and halt my bloodlusts feed..." Mars drew his scythe.
"I was advised not to engage you unless directly threatened... however I'll make a special exception for you... I didn't like the way you talked to my pet just then... so I'm I have to kill you." Mars dropped his chain and let it dangle from his arm.
"I wonder... how will the tinge of your flesh and existence taste after I rip it from your body? My guess? Slightly bland, much like your indecisive feathers... mongrel... either way it should be a true feast, unlike the pitiful snack being fed to me by my pet..." Mars launched the chain at the angel.
"Let us see first hand what your existence tastes like when my bloodlust devours it from your rotting corpse!"

Investing.com -
Investing.com - The greenback traded mixed to higher against
most major currencies after the Federal Reserve said in the minutes
of its January policy meeting released earlier that it should
continue tapering its monthly bond-purchasing program, which
weakens the greenback to spur recovery.
In U.S. trading on Wednesday, EUR/USD was down 0.15% at
At its Jan. 28-29 policy meeting, the Fed voted to trim its
monthly asset purchasing program to $65 billion from $75 billion
and stressed benchmark interest rates will stay at 0.00-0.25% until
the unemployment rates approaches 6.5% or even dips below that
mark, depending on the health of the economy in the context of
price stability.
The minutes released on Wednesday, however, revealed that
monetary authorities debated ditching language suggesting rates may
rise if the unemployment rate falls past 6.5%, a policy tool known
as forward guidance.
"Participants agreed that, with the unemployment rate
approaching 6-1/2 percent, it would soon be appropriate for the
Committee to change its forward guidance in order to provide
information about its decisions regarding the federal funds rate
after that threshold was crossed," the minutes reported.
The unemployment rate currently stands at 6.6% though many still
remain out of the labor force due to fruitless job searches, which
artificially lowers the percentage headline unemployment rate.
Those out of work but not actively seek jobs are not counted as
part of the labor force.
Elsewhere, Fed officials were willing to overlook January's soft
jobs report and other economic indicators taking into account a
string of powerful winter storms may have disrupted commerce.
While some hawkish member felt the time to hike interest rates
will come soon, consensus pointed to keeping rates on hold while
dismantling monthly bond purchases, which gave the greenback some
"All members agreed that the cumulative improvement in labor
market conditions and the likelihood of continuing improvement
indicated that it would be appropriate to make a further measured
reduction in the pace of its asset purchases at this meeting," the
minutes read.
"Members again judged that, if the economy continued to develop
as anticipated, further reductions would be undertaken in measured
Elsewhere on Wednesday, the Commerce Department reported that
U.S. housing starts fell 16% in January to 880,000 units, outpacing
expectations for a 5.7% drop, though a series of winter storms may
have weakened the indicator and not a downtick in demand.
The number of building permits issued last month declined by
5.4% to a seasonally adjusted 937,000 units, outpacing expectations
for a 1.8% decline.
A separate report revealed that the U.S. producer price index
rose 0.2% last month, beating forecasts for a 0.1% gain, while core
producer prices were also up 0.2%.
The dollar was down against the yen, with USD/JPY down 0.14% at
102.22, and up against the Swiss franc, with USD/CHF up 0.01% at
The greenback was flat against the pound, with GBP/USD up 0.01%
at 1.6686.
The dollar was up against its cousins in Canada, Australia and
New Zealand, with USD/CAD up 1.24% at 1.1083, AUD/USD down 0.32% at
0.8998 and NZD/USD down 0.41% at 0.8274.

versus a basket of six other major currencies, was up 0.21% at

Fictional Moldovan Soccer Phenom Tells All
Inside the ingenious hoax that fooled the British sports press.
As a result, the sports pages in English newspapers—not just the gaudy tabloids but mutton-chopped old hussars like the Times—tend to be marbled, a little grotesquely, with fantasies about which star player is bound for which famous club for the GDP of which landlocked principality. They're full of hoaxes already, in other words, tales planted by manipulative club representatives, prehensile agents, and the nannies of David Beckham. The only difference with Masal Bugduv was that it was the papers that fell for the hoax and the readers, vengeful victims, who saw through it.
So, who was this clever hoaxer? Whoever engineered the prank left behind a calling card in the form of the fictional Moldovan newspaper Diario Mo Thon, described in one of the concocted AP stories as "the top sports daily in Balti." Diario means diary in several Romance languages, and mo thón is Irish for my ass—just the kind of nested, polyglot ass pun that every good imaginary-Moldovan prank requires.
It got better. After SoccerLens blogger McDonnell broke the story, Bugduv fans in Ireland noticed that the player's name was a phonetic twin for m'asal beag dubh, which is Irish for "my little black donkey." A second Irish ass pun, sure. But "My Little Black Donkey" is also the name of an Irish-language short story by early 20th-century writer Pádraic Ó Conaire. And the story, about a man tricked into overpaying for a lazy donkey based on some vivid village gossip, can be read anachronistically as a parody of the culture of soccer transfers, in which the flaming rings of hype around a player—about how good he is, where he might go, how much a club might pay for him—often seem to overwhelm the minor matter of what he does on the pitch.
Our hoaxer, then, was likely an allegorically inclined Irishman. This theory gained steam when, not long after the hoax was revealed, I got an e-mail via my Bugduv-obsessed blog from someone claiming to be the instigator of Bugduv mania. He said he was a newspaperman in Galway. Some of the fake AP stories had, indeed, been posted under the pseudonym "GalwayGooner," and the e-mailer's IP address did, indeed, match Galway. Now writing under a different pseudonym, he confirmed the prank's "Little Black Donkey" origin and passed along some entertaining anecdotes, including one about hearing Bugduv's name in a pub conversation before the Times piece went to press. He said he dreamed up Bugduv as a "social experiment."
What was strange, though, was that while I worked to confirm his identity—the more brilliant the hoax, the less you trust the person who takes credit for it—my quarry kept sidestepping every request for evidence. He knew the details of the hoax inside out and even sent me a rollicking narrative account of the work he'd done to create it. (You can read the alleged hoaxer's lengthy explanation of the Bugduv-creation process—and whether the fictional footballer is more like Borat or Forrest Gump—in this sidebar.) But whenever I pressed him for more definitive proof, he'd get skittish and threaten to cut off contact. Either this was another hoax—a counterfeit hoaxer trying to become the real thing—or else the actual hoaxer, like all good magicians, preferred to maintain an element of doubt.
What he sent me, instead of proof, was more about our imaginary player. I learned his nickname ("Massi") and the personality of his agent ("like the fat bloke who accompanied Borat around America"). I even got a new fake AP story, in which Bugduv claimed that he was real and the exposure of the hoax was a hoax. It became clear that while I was worrying over the unreality of my pseudonymous correspondent, he, whoever he was, was delighting in the reality of Masal Bugduv. The Moldovan phantom had taken on a life of his own.
Update, Jan. 28: Blogger Neil McDonnell has confirmed that our alleged hoaxer is indeed the man behind Masal Bugduv. Read all about it here.

Rated 4.1 out of 5Â by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by carolee perks up the small bedroom Love this spread. The cats love this spread. I got a queen size for a double bed....perfect drape to the floor. July 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JackieJo Great lightweight bedspread for summer I wasn't in the market for a bedspread but the idea of a lightweight bedspread for the summer drew my attention as I browsed the catalog. When I received it and put it on my bed, I liked the country atmosphere it gives to the bedroom with the patchwork quilt design and bright colors and it goes well with a dark green carpet and light green walls. It makes the room much more cheerful and soothing to sleep in! June 23, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Xene lovely pastel colors The colors are exactly as pictured in the catalog. It is a good quality material as described. However I found the stitching of the hem to be less than expected. The stitching causes wrinkles around the curves of the corners, and it is not secured very well at the end. May 25, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5Â by jj78 Not as shown in picture On the site, this spread looks like some of the squares are white thus making the other colors look brighter. The spread I received does not look like the one in the picture either on the site or in the catalog. The white is a sort of dark cream and the other colors are muted so that it does not look bright and pretty like it does in the pictures. I am dissappointed. April 27, 2015

My 4 week old was 6 pounds 13 ounces at birth, and at a 3 week appointment he was 9 pounds 10 oz. The pediatrician was not worried, just kind of smiled. He is taking medication for acid reflux, which she thought would help to curb the weight gain, since he was eating to soothe his stomach, according to the doctor. Also, I am exclusively pumping so he gets no formula.
I am just wondering what he weighs in comparison to other babies...how much have your LOs gained?

Anyone have an experience with these jackets? Are they breathable? Sturdy? Actually waterproof? Thanks!
Check the first jacket: http://www.rainshield.com/p_cycling.html
Anyone have an experience with these jackets? Are they breathable? Sturdy? Actually waterproof? Thanks!
Check the first jacket: http://www.rainshield.com/p_cycling.html
We carried them on an upstate New York tour of the Erie Canal and then down the Hudson. As it happened, we were rained on only twenty minutes of the entire trip. The Rainshields were exceptionally light weight and when we did put them on, they functioned quite well: totally waterproof but not clammy. Having noted that, I also have to say that we did not test them during a full day's ride in the rain (the real test). But as backup rainwear they were an exceptional value and very low in weight.
size larger than I usually wear so that I have plenty of room to move and lots of air flow on the bike.
Thanks for the info. If I pick one up, I will try and write up a review when the winter is over here in Vancouver.

I have the O2 rain suit. The pants and jacket are baggy which is good for airflow but the pant leg will be trashed from your chain. I also like the feel of it compared to nylon rain suits. I wouldn't hesitate to try the more cycling specific models. Have only used it for 1/2hr commutes but it worked well enough even in t-storms.
Mine worked in light rain, but leaked like a sieve in normal rain.
Fit awfully tight in chest/shoulders/arms.
Breathable if I opened front.
I chucked it. Yet another one of many half-as$ rainwear.
These guys seem to make the best W/B bicycle-specific rainwear, based on user comments.
If you're in an area like SE US, you might consider the option of just getting wet. Nearly all rainwear makes you so wet from sweat that rain in 70F+ will seem like an appealing alternative. Pants are even worse than jackets since there's no way to ventilate - you'll sweat your n__s off in rain pants.
West of rockies a good portion of US is desert anyways, rain unlikely.
Taking a long break / day off is another effective way of dealing with bad weather. Depending on rate, you can buy several nights in a motel/hostel for the $300+ price of a good rainsuit.
Also, you might want to look into a rain cape (big in UK) or poncho. I've been meaning to sew-up a silnylon, flourescent yellow poncho/tarp/ground cover for some time now.
Here's the nicest rain cape i've seen - hard to buy in US - yellow one, "pro route", scroll down 60% of page
Although capes are like, uh capes (think superman, flapping in breeze etc) they breathe well since they're the most ventilated design available in bike rainwear.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was looking at the Showers Pass Jackets before, but there is not a dealer here in Vancouver. The closest one is Victoria which is a bit far. In terms of buying one online, I don't want to deal with the whole mail order hassle, pay return S&H if I don't like it, etc. I rather just try some on in store, and pick one I like. Anyways, I'll figure it out. Cheers!

I've been using one of these as my primary fall / winter jacket for a few years now. Despite claims, I don't think there are many (any?) truly waterproof and truly breathable jackets out there. This one, like most, breathes better than plastic or something, and of course proper pit zips help a great deal. It remains quite waterproof to this day, but over time the outer fabric/coating aged and absorbs more water than it used to. That water still doesn't get through the inner "3 flow" stuff though. The jacket has proven very durable, with almost daily use outside of the summer months including snow, salt and slush commuting in traffic. I had the pants too, but wasn't too crazy about them. I would give the jacket an 8 out of 10. I should note that I haven't used much other rainwear for comparison, but I think this jacket has been pretty good to me.
Just in case you missed it, here's a recent relevant thread.Anyone have an experience with these jackets? Are they breathable? Sturdy? Actually waterproof? Thanks!

The bicycle is one of the great inventions of mankind. Delights children, challenges young men to feats of daring, and turns old men into boys again.--Me
Very late to the party, but I thought I'd chime in.
I am a jacket *****.
I have light windbreakers (with and without side netting), microfiber jackets, plastic rain jackets, and no less than three rain jackets, including this one and two from Showers Pass. I wax fondly of well thought-out, well-made jackets, because there is little more comforting on a cold or damp day.
The conclusion I've come to is that the perfect rain jacket should be/have:
1. waterproof.
2. windproof.
3. breathable
4. pit zips
5. velcroed cuffs.
6. two-way front zipper
7. packable in a seat bag or a back pocket.
The Showers Pass Elite has/is all of these things, but not #7. And its $200+.
The Showers Pass Double Century has all these things, and its $100+. But the material is so thin, it doesn't appear that it would stand up well to every day use.
This jacket lands between the Showers Pass Elite and the Double Century. It's not as packable as the DC, but much more so than the Elite. It also appears to be more durable than the DC.
It doesn't have waterproof zippers, and the front zipper is only one way. And it includes a non-detachable hood, which makes it bulkier than it needs to be.
But at the price point (~$25 on Bonktown), it is hard to beat this jacket. The fabric is reasonably breathable, and with the pit zips and velcroed cuffs, comfortable in a wide range of conditions.
And if it's not packable enough for you, you can always just scissor off the hood.

Five New-Age Picks From Chris Richards
Previewing Glide, Chris Richards' new-age DJ night at Cafe Saint-Ex, gave me a chance to make two points about the genre. First, you can argue that the music is a home-grown development, with roots in the guitar style John Fahey developed in Takoma Park. (For more on that, check out David Dunlap Jr.'s stellar 2006 City Paper feature, "The Cosmos Club.") Second, the music is nowhere near as bad as you've probably been led to believe; if you have any kind of enthusiasm for the wooly New Weird Americanisms of Jack Rose or Brian Eno's ambient experiments, there's lots to like.
I don't have to make that case, though: Richards has done it for me. In advance of tonight's installment of Glide, the Washington Post pop music critic sent me YouTube links to five of his favorite new-age songs. (Comments are my own.)
JD Emmanuel, "Attaining Peace"
Emmanuel pitches his music with a lot verities about how it's a pathway to greater spiritual awareness, enlightenment, etc—last year he dubbed his music "Time Traveler" because "it can put the listener into a state where time seems to disappear." Good luck slipping into a wormhole of astral bliss here: There's something creepy and insistent amid the gentle keyboard swells and drones on this track from 1983's Wizards, like the unsettling soundtracks Popol Vuh worked up for the Werner Herzog films where Klaus Kinski slowly loses it.
Peter Davison, "Glide III"
When Windham Hill Records became a national phenomenon in the early '80s, largely on the strength of George Winston's piano solos, a door opened for relaxation-music pros like Davison, who blends Eastern-ish flutes, harp, and washes of keyboard. It's a peaceful easy feeling for sure, though it's also undone somewhat by the layer of synth figures zapping gently across the tune.
William Aura, "Come My Way"
The path from Fahey to Yanni involved a few ugly genetic mutations—its evolutionary end goal was to please PBS pledge-drive callers, after all. But while I appreciate Richards' crate-digging efforts (presumably in 25-cent bins), on the evidence of this track Aura trafficks in the Reunite-on-ice hot-tub grooves that gave the genre a bad name, from the bubbly bassy synths to the angel-chorus melodies. Released in 1987 on Windham Hill rival Higher Octave, this track appeared on an album titled Half Moon Bay, in tribute to the San Francisco peninsula rich-hippie town where it was recorded, and where I'm guessing 90 percent of the LP's owners currently live.
Steve Roach, "Reflections in Suspension"
In the liner notes for Music for Airports, Eno pointed out that he was looking for a kind of music that was "an atmosphere, a tint." Roach has the same mission, though his music is at once more colorful and more sinuous than Eno's ambient gestures, and it never sounds soporific; I've happily taken in this track's 16-plus minutes repeatedly in the past week. This comes from his 1984 album of the same title, reissued in 2001. It may be the only album that Alternative Press and Yoga Journal ever agreed on.
Swami Kriya Ramananda, "Song of the Golden Lotus, Part 1"
The intersection between jazz, Eastern, ambient, and new-age music is complicated, but its ur-text is clear: clarinetist Tony Scott's 1964 album, Music for Zen Meditation and Other Joys. Eastern flutes have been used (or exploited) in relaxation music ever since, but 1978's Song of the Golden Lotus elegantly works in cello and ocean-wave electronics while the flute goes about its chakra-alignment business. "At the conclusion of the music, remain quiet for a few moments," the liner notes read in part. Beats being told to immediately tweet about something you like.

My girl has been head down since forever.
She is SUPER head down, the midwives always comment about it during my appointments - like she is trying to engage haha
Im 36 weeks now. I dont think she has moved positions since like 24 weeks.
Anyways i always feel her move like crazy, her knees will always swipe across the top of my belly, just a bit above my belly button. Her butt sometimes will stick out very uncomfortably by my belly button. She jabs her elbows or shoulders around my hips, and sometimes will swipe my sides with her hands. Her hands also play around my bikini line. She gets hiccups all the time, and I always feel them very deep inside near my bikini line - thats how Im always reassured she is head down.
Just spend time with your hands on your belly when you are laying / sitting back and eventually youll figure out what is what...

TTC # 2, 23 months so far...IUI 12/8/15
My babies heads never engaged until I was in labor, so don't worry about that. Spinning babies is great. Lots of people use them and it works! As for as the belly button thing, my kids were forever pushing their butts out, and legs and arms all over the place. Sounds like it's nice in there and you have lots of water in there for your LO. (:
My second baby was crammed up in my ribcage the day before I went into labor. She moved her position constantly. My first was LOA the entire time. Both of them pressed against my hip bone at one time or another. I was never really sure about what specific position they were in, but I always knew they were vertex because of the butt in my ribs.

Hug it out! A new motherboard specification designed by Facebook brings chipmakers together.
Glimpse the major components of the new iPhone 5 expected later this year, including the motherboard.
Although the images posted to a WeiPhone user forum don't show the processor, a smaller SIM card slot appears -- perhaps the new nano-SIM?
One of perhaps six known working Apple 1 computer motherboards exceeded expectations on the at Sotheby's auction block.
With the Intel Desktop Board DZ77RE-75K, the first Thunderbolt-certified motherboard that also supports USB 3.0, PC users are able for the first time to enjoy all the popular storage technologies, including Thunderbolt, USB 3.0/2.0, SATA 6Gbps, eSATA, and FireWire in one system. The board also has even more to offer.
If a report from Asia is accurate, Intel motherboards will become a scarce commodity when Intel's next-generation Haswell chip launches in June.
Old motherboards get a new lease on life in the hands of one Italian artist who makes art out of old computer parts.

Have a doctor waiting for me in ut.
My issue is its three hrs away.. has anyone ever had to cross state lines just to have a vbac... im starting to lose hope. I dont want another csection.
Don't worry your not alone, I'm driving 3 1/2 - 4 hours to get a VBAC I'm not sure how its gonna work I was told I would be induced with pit after I'm at least 50% thinned out. But i would like to wait a little longer but I'm affraid to be in labor for the car ride and my mother is completely unsupportive and keeps telling me I just need to have the baby here and its stupid to drive that far in labor. Its funny how one person can bring your hopes crumbling down so quickly. I will let you know what happens in 8 weeks. Good Luck!
wow, i would have never made it! my whole labor wasn't three hours.

I too have heard of women moving into a hotel close to their hospital to wait for labor. In some places, its common and the oly way to get your birth ideal. If I could, I would be moving to The Farm!
"Saying YES to happiness means saying NO to people and things that stress you out."
I would at least keep an open mind about the idea of traveling for the birth. I just "knew" a couple days before DD was born that it was going to be any day now; if I'd had to travel for the birth I probably would have headed out and spent the last couple of days in a hotel.
Another possibility would be to look into home birth if it's available in your area.

"Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park" Top 5 Page for this destination Tengger Caldera by cokes
Tengger Caldera Travel Guide: 174 reviews and 448 photos
This was really the highlight of my trip to Indonesia. I was so looking forward to come and visit Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park as I`ve never in my life seen a active volcano before. I got a view of Mt Bromo and Mt Semeru from Mt Penanjakan and the long winding trip up the mountain was so worth the trip. Mt Penanjakan is the hightest point in which to view the Tengger Mountains as its higher than Mt Bromo. Please note to dress warm as its cold up there especially if you going to see the sunrise.
I was also so lucky to watch Mt Semeru errupt and puff huge clouds of ash. My friend and guide Ridwaan was on que when he said that Mt Semeru normally errupts at the time we were there and so it errupted a minute later to my amazement. I would say this is a place that should not be missed if you planning to visit Indonesia as it comes highly recommended by me.
- Pros:Beautiful Scenary , suprise Erruptions
- Cons:Cool
- In a nutshell:Definitely make this a place to see in your life time.

Mo. Supreme Court: Archdiocese must release names
Wednesday, February 5, 2014
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Missouri Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the Archdiocese of St. Louis must release the names of more than 100 church employees accused of sexual abuse over the past 20 years as part of a civil lawsuit it faces.
The denial of an archdiocese request upholds a St. Louis judge's earlier decision. The names will be released only to an unnamed woman suing the diocese and her attorneys, not to the general public.
The lawsuit was filed in 2011 by a 19-year-old woman who claimed the abuse began when she was 5 years old and attended St. Cronan's parish.
The priest, who was later defrocked, had been convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old boy at a parish in University City decades earlier. He then received treatment and was reassigned to St. Cronan's.
Kenneth M. Chackes, the woman's attorney, said in an interview he expects the release of names to be "very helpful."
"Without seeing the names, it's hard to know how many people complained about sex abuse by priests, and to know how the archdiocese responded," he said.
As part of its appeal of the lower court ruling, the archdiocese subsequently released a list of 240 complaints made against 115 priests and other employees since 1986. A court order keeps the names sealed.
In a written statement, the archdiocese said it fought the release of names to "protect the privacy rights of all involved, including victims who had no connection to current litigation and who had expressed anonymity regarding their reported allegation.
"Although we share the disappointment of the many innocent individuals who will be affected by it, the Archdiocese of St. Louis will comply with the court order entered by the Missouri Supreme Court," the statement reads.

Aroldis Chapman will rejoin the Yankees on Monday
Yankees reliever Aroldis Chapman was suspended 30 games by Major League Baseball under its domestic violence policy for an offseason incident in which he allegedly pushed and choked his girlfriend, then discharged a firearm at least eight times in his garage. Monday marks game number 30, and Chapman is set to rejoin the club then, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports. Manager Joe Girardi plans to insert Chapman directly into the closer's role if a save situation arises against the Royals on Monday.
Chapman will make two appearances in the Gulf Coast League this week to continue warming up. He had been throwing in extended spring training games at the Yankees' complex in Tampa.
The Yankees acquired Chapman from the Reds at the end of December, sending Caleb Cotham, Rookie Davis, Eric Jagielo, and Tony Renda to Cincinnati in return. While the back end of the bullpen hasn't been an issue for the Yankees, seemingly everything else has for the 8-15, last place club.
Hunter Harvey to undergo sports hernia surgery
Orioles pitching prospect Hunter Harvey will undergo sports hernia surgery this week, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports. He'll be out of action for the next four to six weeks as a result.
Harvey suffered a groin strain during a minor league spring training game last month and reaggravated it during an extended spring training game last Thursday. A specialist found a tear which requires surgery to mend.
The 21-year-old Harvey remains the prospect in the Orioles' minor league system (according to MLB Pipeline) despite not having advanced past the Single-A level. He last pitched in a regular season game on July 25, 2014. The right-hander has suffered a litany of injuries in the time since, including an elbow issue and a fractured leg.
The Potomac Nationals will play a triple-header on Wednesday
On Monday, the Potomac Nationals were slated to play the Lynchburg Hillcats in a match-up of two Single-A teams. The game, however, was suspended in the fifth inning. The goal was to play a double-header on Tuesday — a nine-inning game followed by a seven-inning game.
Tuesday's double-header, however, was postponed due to wet grounds. So the Nationals and Hillcats will play a triple-header on Wednesday starting at 3:00 PM EDT. The suspended game will be resumed in the fifth inning and then the two sides will play two seven-inning games, per the Potomac Nationals.
That, well, is something. Minor leaguers don't get paid enough to play 19 innings (at least) in one day.
Brian Cashman on Yankees' slow start: "Some leashes might be shorter than others."
Yankees GM Brian Cashman isn't exactly thrilled with the way his team has played over the first 23 games. The Yankees were swept by the division rival Red Sox over the weekend, running their losing streak to five games and sending their record down to 8-15, good for last place in the AL East.
As David Waldstein reports for the New York Times, Cashman says he may be forced to make some changes soon. "There's only so long you can allow it to go on before tinkering. But it just needs to stop," Cashman said.
Cashman continued:
"I've done this job a long time and I put this roster together," Cashman said. "I feel it's significantly better than it has performed, and when it doesn't perform up to expectations over the course of time, I have a history of making changes. I would rather not go that route, but when you are forced to do so, you are forced to do so."
Who have been the biggest contributors to the Yankees' demise?
- SS Didi Gregorius: .221/.250/.338 with only four extra-base hits in 73 plate appearances
- 3B Chase Headley: .156/.267/.156 with zero extra-base hits
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury: .247/.295/.371
- The starting rotation: The Yankees' aggregate rotation ERA of 5.16 is fourth-worst in baseball
- Nathan Eovaldi: 5.57 ERA in 29 2/3 innings
- Michael Pineda: 6.33 ERA in 27 innings
- CC Sabathia: 5.06 ERA in 21 1/3 innings
- Luis Severino: 6.86 ERA in 19 2/3 innings
- Middle relief
- Johnny Barbato: 5.73 ERA in 11 innings
- Chasen Shreve: 5.40 ERA in 8 1/3 innings
- Ivan Nova: 5.14 ERA in 14 innings
Cashman said, "Some leashes might be shorter than others."
Headley likely has the shortest leash. Utilityman Ronald Torreyes has hit well, boasting an .875 in a limited sample of 24 plate appearances, but he could cut into Headley's playing time at third base if Headley can't figure things out. Outfield prospect Aaron Judge could get called up. Outfielder Aaron Hicks, who has taken only 28 PA thus far, could also be in line for more playing time.

In case you missed it, a veteran family physician from Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger's home county of Rockingham has authored one of the best new pleas for closing North Carolina's Medicaid gap that currently keeps hundreds of thousands of working North Carolinians uninsured. In an open letter to Berger and Gov. Pat McCrory in the Greensboro News & Record, Dr. Stephen Luking offers several heartrending examples from his own practice about good, honest people whose health and life expectancy have been directly endangered as a result of the state's stubborn resistance to Medicaid expansion. As he notes:
"These families aren't 'takers' looking for a handout. The working poor are our cousins and our neighbors. They sit with us in the pews on Sunday; their children or grandchildren go to school with ours.
Some have watched well-paying jobs fly to Mexico or China. Some through personal or family circumstance earn meager wages. Some have employers who craftily maintain them under "temp" status or keep their hours worked under 30 hours per week to avoid insurance obligations. Some have reached their God-given potential.
Who are we to pass judgment? The fact is that near-poverty has left all of them uninsurable without Medicaid. Your rejection of Medicaid expansion may have earned you bona fides and high-fives in political circles, but in the real world your decision has harmed these families left and right."
And here's the powerful conclusion:
"Like any family doctor who has practiced for 30 years, I know what it's like to make a decision that leads to the death of a patient. The appropriate intervention gone badly, the symptom after consideration mistakenly reassured. … I can tell you, it cuts like a knife. You face the family and fight back the tears. You wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and wish you had that moment back.
And sometimes one night leads to a dozen. My wife will tell you, it's a load to carry.
Gov. McCrory and Sen. Berger, you now carry that same weight, whether you will admit it or not. Welcome to this our unfortunate fraternity: those who carry the blood of others on our hands. Like it or not, we are all three members.
Some in Rockingham County will surely die — if some haven't already — because of your partisan decision to reject Medicaid expansion.
Please embrace our shared humanity. The two of you have the power to get this done.
Re-approach this issue with an open mind and you will experience a change of heart.
Until then, I hope you'll wake up some nights in a cold sweat, knowing you have committed a terrible wrong. Shame on you for your complicity thus far in denying basic health insurance to the most vulnerable residents of our state.
Shame on the rest of us for letting you get away with it."

Cichlid Dream Team
New to the site and new to Cichlids. Setting up a 55 gal soon and was going to go with Cichlids.Trying to research through all the information available but thought I'd ask the question and see what answers you guys come up with.
Question: What would be the perfect "DREAM TEAM" of Cichlids for the beginner. Take in account eating habits, ph levels and compatability. I would like to have a variety of color. I want to have live plants. Give me some suggestions please.
I've just set up my first Cichlid tank as well. The main advice I've received is to pick a continent and stick with it. If you do Lake Malawi, then do either all Mbuna or all Haplochromines (Haps / Peacocks, etc.). If you do Tanganyika, then do only native species, etc.
I've also been told to take care when mixing different species of the same color, for instance, different fish that are both blue with black bars.
I decided to do all Lake Malawi Mbuna and so far I have:
4 Electric Yellow Labs
2 Yellow Tail Blue Acei
I plan to add:
Afra Cobue
I hear that you can do plants but they should minimal and only certain types. Many Cichlids eat live plants and they are notorious diggers and will uproot them. Plants are scarce in their natural environment but you can get some to work. Sorry I don't have more info but I'm just getting started myself!
Hope that helps.
Jamison has responded on the rift lake cichlids. There are also South America dwarf cichlids and Central and South American medium-larger cichlids, though some of the latter would be too much in a 55g.
What are your water parameters out of the tap? Rift lake fish need hard water, Central American medium hard-hard, South American generally soft-medium hard.
I don't know how experienced you are, so I will say that knowing your water parameters is the first thing to find out. You can do this from your water supply folks, many have websites with data posted. Selecting fish that prefer what you have is much easier than attempting to adjust water parameters, which can be difficult and very expensive.
All I can say is once you pick them out, you will love watching them. Also, if you try plants, be prepared for them to be eaten, uprooted, etc. Some will stay longer than others. And the cichlids will rearrange your substrate to their liking, so be prepared for that:-P I love my cichlids, so good luck with yours!!! Have fun:-):-):-)
As Byron said knowing what kind of water you have would really help us narrow the options down. There are probably 100 combinations or more we could suggest. Do you have any preference at all? Do you want breeding pairs? A harem? Do you want a lot of little fish or maybe a couple or one larger sized fish?
Checked my County water authority website and could not find any information about PH levels so I'll need to get a test kit. I was thinking African lakes and smaller to medium sizes.
Sounds like mbunas would be a perfect fit. They are smaller, colorfull, and tons of fun to watch. For a 55 gallon i would suggest 6-8 yellow labs and 12 demasoni. The colors and constant chasing of the demasoni will keep you entertained for hours. The yellow labs grow larger and will be a nice centerpiece like fish for the tank. Make sure you over filter if you are thinking mbunas and make sure you overstock.

Searching for the best vacuum cleaner
There are a lot of vacuum cleaners on the market nowadays and sometimes the effort of trying to find out which is the best vacuum cleaner can be too much. After all as long as you get something that picks up the dirt off your floor what more do you really need? While we have something that gets the job done most of us do not put much though into whether we have the best cleaner for our needs. But when it is time to make a purchase searching for the best vacuum cleaner can get surprisingly complicated. Comparing suction, power, tools that are included, deciding whether we want an upright or not, a cordless or not and so on. How do we do this is painlessly as possible?
Well for some people shopping at a large retail store is the way to go as you can physically see the vacuum cleaners, compare styles, handle those they allow you to handle. However even a large store will not have all the choices that are out there, and while they might have had the best cleaner for your friend, they may not really have the best vacuum cleaner for your home. You also do get the best chance at doing price comparisons.
If you are just concerned with something that sucks up dirt and is cheap, shopping for a vacuum is far easier. On the other spectrum, if you have plenty of money and want to buy the most expensive thing on the market that is also easy shopping. Easy and quicker but this does not suit everybody. For those wanting to get the best for their money, and the machine that best suits them, more thought and planning needs to occur.In that case your best way to search for the best vacuum cleaner is to go online. It is far easier to compare prices, models, weights, power and all those things you want to think about, you can do it from the comfort of home and you can get something specific to your needs. If you need lightweight because of a lack of strength, or you need a quiet machine because you live in an apartment online you can check out not just what the manufacturers have to say but what existing owners have to say as well.
Customer reviews are a great way to learn about the reality of a vacuum cleaner and whether it is worth the price. With some planning and research you can learn more about what is on offer and hopefully get something that suits you better. At first the various terms may be confusing, but once you understand what filtration methods, amps, or air watts for example are referring to you will soon get the hang of it.
There are many sites that offer their own comparisons and reviews of various models, whether from more traditional manufacturers like Hoover or Bissell or from newer companies. While many people feel more comfortable with the former type, do not shy from checking out the latter vacuum cleaners, as some new companies have some great designs on the market helped by being innovative rather than stuck in a traditional viewpoint. Also keep in mind what customers have to say about customer service experiences, as that can be important should you need to use it.
