Tell them to shut the F up! Everyone carries differently and don't be afraid to tell that to rude people. I had the opposite problem - I am very tall and didn't show (except when naked) until I was in my 7th month. People told me I wasn't gaining enough weight and that I needed to eat more if I cared about my baby. My response? "My doctor is monitoring my baby's health closely, and he is actually big for his age. We're both fine - thanks for your concern." So you can say, "My doctor says my weight is fine and my baby and I are both healthy. So don't worry your pretty little head about it." And then walk away! And tell your doctor ASAP about how much you've been crying and how upset you've been! This is supposed to be a happy time in your life, so stop letting jerks ruin it for you. :)posted 11/21/2007 by fenton41
I saw a joke about something like this one day. This is a perfect come back if the person is big that says something to you. "I am pregnant, what is your excuse?" That brought a smile to my face when I read it, maybe it will for you too.posted 09/24/2007 by jdclements05
When I was pregnant w/my daughter I had a "young" co-worker say to me "well if you're heavy to begin w/ you don't gain as much weight, me I just got my body back &I'm not having another one." My reply to her: "if that's your body back in pre-baby stage I don't know what your bragging about." Of course she told me I was rude but I in return told her I treat people how they treat me & if you're going to be that rude to me then it's going to come back to you. Now I know that stooping to her level was childish but I got my point across & she never commented on my weight again. I generally am a very nice person and try not to offend many people but when someone is that rude to comment on a woman's weight & even worse a pregnant woman then they deserve a little shot back. If you can't bring yourself to being rude just tell them that you're having a big baby (9-11 lbs)then they should just move along. Try to ignore those rude people & enjoy your pregnancy! :oDposted 09/23/2007 by kathy104
i dont think it matters what people say i would just be soo happy to be haveing a baby i wouldnt let them get to me just be happy for you and that babyposted 10/04/2007 by Nevaeh_Mae
I'm 27 weeks with my first and had some interesting comments at my baby shower this past Saturday. One lady asked, "is it is a big baby?" I said, "No, he actually measures exactly on the week in his progress." She looked surprised and persisted to ask if I knew how much he weighs or if the midwife can predict how much he'll weigh. I just smiled and said, "Since he's right on track he'll probably be pretty average." I saw her again the next day at church and after the service she walked by me and said, "Hey Fatso!" then she paused for about 15 seconds and then said, "I meant that as a compliment." I was so shocked by her comment that I just smirked at her and couldn't really say much else. People are super mean and apparently have no sensors in their comments for pregnant women. As if we're not already emotionally unstable and painfully aware of our size, why do they feel they have the right to point it out! Hang in there and try not to let it get to you...posted 01/23/2013 by ebeason
We live in a country where most people are overweight and NOT pregnant. I love the come back "I'm prego, what's your excuse". Getting pregnant is a gift, so enjoy it. I cringe when I hear pregnant women complain they are gaining weight, DAH... you are supposed to, so stop fretting and tell others to back off!posted 12/05/2007 by Baby Ginger
I'm 27 weeks now, and my belly is HUGE!...well, according to everyone else saying so, and in comparison to other moms-to-be who have the same size belly as me but are farther along than me. I gave up trying to understand it. My doctor keeps giving me a clean bill of health at each appt. So I don't worry. I am not overweight either, mostly I'm just belly. So I have tried to just embrace the pregnancy and all that comes with creating a life...Because in the end, thats all that matters, if you have a wonderfully healthy baby in the end. You can always lose the weight...but you can't get back the wonderful feeling of being pregnant.... So I say, enjoy your pregnancy ... and just smile when they comment... you're making a baby. :)posted 11/21/2007 by Katk04
I got the "you must be carrying twins" remark several times during both of my pregnancies. I did not gain a huge amount of weight with either, but I am petite, so I guess I just looked huge. It really bothered me that people could be so rude and not even realize it. I even got asked by a lady on an elevator how far along I was, and when I responded that I was 22 weeks, she began to "fret" over how huge I was and how she wasn't showing. She insisted there must be something wrong with her for being so skinny, but I took that as an insult. I did eventually realize that these people don't matter. My doctor was not in the least bit worried that I was too big. My husband thought it was adorable to be so pregnant. I say, embrace your belly! This is one of the only times in your life that you will be pregnant. Enjoy your pregnancy body. Show off your belly. If someone makes a rude comment about your size, ignore it or let them know how happy you are to be a beautiful pregnant mommy!posted 09/25/2007 by linzjane
Please know you are not the only one! A few weeks ago when I was about 19 weeks, I walked into my office's breakroom to hear one of my employees telling a new person about my pregnancy. Before she noticed me standing there, I heard her say "You didn't know? How could you miss it, she's HUGE!" I have always been fairly slender and while I have gained a healthy 18-20 lbs (all baby belly), I definitely would not consider myself "HUGE."posted 01/02/2008 by carolynm107
I have a question!! I'm 25 years old, Ive always had a great metabolism and never had to worry about my weight. I was 118 lbs when I got pregnant with my son and ended up gaining 37 lbs, which my doctor says is average. I was about 137 lbs when I got pregnant with #2. I am currently 32 weeks along and have gain about 20 lbs with the pregnancy, again the doctor says this is average. So why are people surprised when they find out i'm not due for another two months?? I get all kinds of stupid comments about how big I am and how I should pop any day now! My son was 10 lbs and this baby is probably gonna be big too. Why cant people just be nice, any comments about weight are uncalled for when your pregnant!!posted 12/12/2008 by TSUMama06

CINCINNATI -- The NL Central leaders left town with one intention -- bring back a title.
The Cincinnati Reds' playoff push slowed a bit Thursday, when Rodrigo Lopez held their league-leading offense in check for seven innings of the Arizona Diamondbacks' 3-1 victory. The Reds hit the road with a comfortable lead and a chance to clinch a playoff spot during their eight-game trip to Houston, Milwaukee and San Diego.
The Reds went 4-3 on a homestand against the league's two worst clubs -- the Pittsburgh Pirates and Arizona -- to move themselves a few wins away from their first playoff appearance since 1995.
"We're getting close," said Edinson Volquez (3-3), who is trying to be part of the playoff rotation. "We don't have that many left. If we win the series in Houston, it will be real exiting. We'll be really close."
Close enough that they no longer worry about the St. Louis Cardinals, the one team with any chance of catching them.
"We're in a good situation," said Jonny Gomes, who drove in Cincinnati's run off Lopez (6-14). "We don't have to scoreboard watch, we really don't. We've done a good job of keeping our eyes on the prize."
The Reds have such a big lead -- eight games over St. Louis to start the day -- that they can consider options for their playoff rotation. Volquez is trying to pitch his way into it.
The 2008 All-Star had reconstructive elbow surgery last summer and is still rounding into form. He returned to the rotation in July but was so inconsistent that he got sent to the minors for two starts to fix his flaws. In two starts back, he's been better.
Last Saturday, he allowed only one hit in seven shutout innings against Pittsburgh. He gave up six hits and three runs in 6 2/3 innings against Arizona, throwing a pair of wild pitches. He also fanned seven, although that wasn't so noteworthy -- the Diamondbacks are about to break the major league record for strikeouts in a season.
Volquez walked the first two batters to open the fifth and then gave up a run-scoring double to Gerardo Parra. Singles by Stephen Drew and Kelly Johnson made it 3-1.
"I felt good today," said Volquez, who left after 85 pitches. "I feel I'm getting everything together. I'm more consistent, I'm throwing strikes, my delivery is together. My last two games I've pitched really well."
Manager Dusty Baker likes what he's seen out of Volquez in his last two starts.
"He's throwing as well as anybody we have right now," Baker said. "That's a positive sign. He threw the ball real good. That one inning he lost command of the strike zone a little bit."
Lopez was solid all the way through. He gave up eight hits and didn't walk a batter while winning for the first time since July 8.
Lopez was 0-7 with a 6.53 ERA in his last 11 starts. He allowed only a first-inning run -- Drew Stubbs singled and scored when Gomes' fly to center went off Chris Young's glove on the warning track, dropping for a double.
"He's got a big smile on his face, I know that," manager Kirk Gibson said. "It's been a long time coming. He's fought through it, worked hard and made adjustments."
Lopez pitched out of scoring threats in the fourth and fifth innings against the NL's most prolific offense. Juan Gutierrez pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 12 tries.
"I started feeling more confident," Lopez said. "I'm not fighting myself. I'm keeping the ball down and just letting it go. I'm keeping more focused during the game."
Arizona split the four-game series, finishing 3-7 against the Reds this season. Arizona has lost 12 of its last 15 against Cincinnati.
The Diamondbacks fanned nine times, moving ahead of the 2008 Marlins for second place on the all-time list with 1,373 strikeouts this season. The 2001 Brewers set the major league record by fanning 1,399 times.
Arizona has struck out at least a dozen times in eight of its last 10 games.
Game notes
Drew extended his hitting streak to seven games. ... The Reds traded right-handed reliever Enerio Del Rosario to Houston for cash. The 24-year-old appeared in nine games with Cincinnati during the first half of the season, posting a 2.08 ERA without a decision. ... Third baseman Scott Rolen and 2B Brandon Phillips were out of the starting lineup, getting a day of rest after a night game. ... Outfielder Jim Edmonds pinch-hit and flied out, his first appearance since he strained abdominal muscles in August.

Hi all, foreign fans of stalker.
Foreign because i'm from ukraine and many of ours team from CIS(from former Soviet Union).

It was because we will worked on ours mod SZM CoP 0.2 and some time Return to the Shadows was frozen.
But now we're glad to say that we are working on RTTS and in parallel we are working on SZM CoP 0.3. SZM CoP - for us how experience in modding, also we so lazy to translate mod for English :), so you will be play in next versions of mod or someone make normal english translate of SZM CoP 0.2.

They not bad :), on it you can make indy project, new capabilities... But for it need time, experts or people who some can do and want to teaching. So we does not pass stalker and x-ray and worked and working on it yet we are interested in. The last interview of gamedev from GSC only give for me(dont know how a team) some enthusiasm.
Mayybe if all will be good we present something new at summer-autumn 2012. But who know what will be :)
Good luck stalkers !

I know I have been away for awhile - a lot has happened in my absence and I may get around to telling it but lets just see how this one goes.
Before I wrote this I searched the posts for references to fitday - there were a few in passing but nothing that stands out.
I have been trying to loose weight all summer, cutting back - riding lots but no real success. A few weeks ago I stumbled onto Fitday, I logged my intake and activities carefully. What I found after a few days surprised me. My caloric intake was all over the map, my fiber intake was barely 50% of the recommended levels and my protein was much lower than I thought. Lots of carbs - LOTS of them.
So I changed things up, I significantly raised my protein intake and made sure I hit the RDAI for fiber each day. I really didn't have to worry about eating to much - it was hard to not get full. Within the first week I lost 5 lbs and had to start forcing myself to eat (not a problem I was used to). Now at this rate I will easily reach a good climbing weight for Whiteface - assault #2 next June.
All along I thought I was eating right, I had several pieces of fresh fruit each day, oatmeal with some dried fruit in the AM and a salad each night with dinner. In reality this was still not adequate. I had to replace my normal lunch sandwich with high protein, I had to add (yes add) a Kashi trail mix bar during the day and swap the oatmeal for Kashi Go Lean to even come close to hitting the numbers. I can still have my wine on the weekends and even have treats - but now I get to see the scale go down.
So if you have been struggling with the weight, and since we are going into the winter months, give this website a try - it's free and it provides you with a lot of good information to manage your diet, activities and lifestyle.

McCOOK, Nebraska -- A calf from Hitchcock County has tested positive for rabies.
The calf was submitted for testing by Dr. Cort V. Mohr, DVM of the Four Winds Animal Clinic in McCook and came back positive for rabies on July 24.
Mohr said younger animals such as the calf are typically inquisitive and probably became infected with rabies when making contact with a skunk or raccoon.
Skunks, raccoons and bats are the main source of rabies in the Midwest, which is why wild animals should not be adopted as pets, Mohr said. There is also no vaccination to prevent rabies from occurring in wild animals, who can carry the virus for years, he added. Any wild animal acting strangely should be avoided, such as nocturnal raccoons and skunks that appear mid-day.
This is the first confirmed case of rabies in the area in 2013, according to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. Nebraska HHS have confirmed 28 cases of rabies in Nebraska for 2013, with 10 skunks, six bovines, one llama, one horse, one dog, 3 three cats and four bats.
The listing of positive cases in Nebraska for 2012 can be found at: http://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/srd_rabies12.as....
The risk of exposure to rabies is real, but the disease is preventable in both humans and domestic animals. In the US, there are around 7,000 animal rabies cases diagnosed every year. In the mid-West, skunks and bats are the main sources and the most common animal species positive for rabies. Domestic pets and livestock can be infected from exposure to these wildlife sources of rabies. Rabies prevention consists of vaccinating domestic animals, education of humans to avoid exposures, and providing exposed persons with prompt post-exposure rabies prophylaxis. The World Health Organization estimates that ~70,000 people die of rabies infection world-wide every year.
Local health experts offer these tips to prevent rabies.
- Have your veterinarian vaccinate all dogs, cats, ferrets, horses, and valuable livestock against rabies.
- If bitten by an animal, seek medical attention and report the bite to your local public health department or animal control department immediately.
- If your animal is bitten, contact your veterinarian for an appointment for the animal to be examined.
- Do not handle, or feed wild animals. Never adopt wild animals or bring them into your home.
- If wild animals appear sick or injured, call animal control or an animal rescue agency for assistance.
- Teach children never to handle unfamiliar animals, wild or domestic, even if they appear friendly.
If you have additional questions, please contact your veterinarian, local or state health department.

Revisiting Todd Monken's pre-spring comments about his expectations for Wes Lunt
It's been a little more than a week since true freshman Wes Lunt was named Oklahoma State's starting quarterback. I thought it would be interesting to revisit a pre-spring conversation with Cowboy offensive coordinator Todd Monken, where he addressed the QB situation before practices began.
How far we've come in less than two months. Actually, how far Lunt has come.
Monken was asked how if there was a chance Lunt would come in and really impress ("light it up" was the phrase used). Here's Monken's response:
"He won't. Not with our skill guys. There's no way he can. Could he be better if he came in last year? Yeah, maybe, because you have Black (Justin Blackmon) and Coop (Josh Cooper) and Hubert (Anyiam) and everything looks better if you put him with the 1s. But the reality is that we're not going to make those two-a-day, three-a-day, once-a-game, twice-a-game, bail-you-out kind of plays that a Ryan Broyles makes, that a Blackmon makes, that those guys make. They bail you out. They make plays that nobody else can. Quarterback aside, you can throw a slant to them and they run for 50 yards.
"I'll be stunned if he's our starter. No out of skill set, but just out of he's got to learn. I'm hopeful. But the moment he goes out there, it's not like we send in a runner to him, he gets the play and he verbalizes it back. We signal it to him, he has to get the signal and it's a different verbiage and signal to our other guys…he has to tell the O-Line what to do, he has to tell everybody else what to do and then he has to be confident in what he has to do.
"I think where you'll know is if after a couple weeks, how's he throwing in 7-on-7? Because if he's doing that and he has a clue, there's less to do and the team's not around, at least you have something to kind of go by. But the team thing, he's going to struggle, just like J.W. did last year. Forget even just your skill set. It's just getting everybody lined up.
"The reality is (with) Wes, we're giving him an opportunity because the other guys haven't shown anything yet. So you say that with, 'OK, he's going to get the equal reps. And that's the problem. You try to figure out if and when do you pull back? Who has the measurable skill set that's going to keep improving?"
Now look at Monken's comments after the spring finale nearly two weeks ago. He was right in that Lunt didn't "light it up" right away. But he picked things up quickly, and clearly answered the call of being able to get all the pre-snap stuff figured out in a short amount of time. That impressed Monken, and ultimately led to him being named the starter.
"Wes has continually, which you would expect, gotten better. He's throwing more confidently, he's grasped things…all the signaling, all the processing, getting guys lined up, those things, in such a short time. Once he got through about the first week, he's been steady throughout.
"What's interesting is you never know until a guy gets here. You think you know, but how much time do you really get, when a kid decides to commit, that you understand a guy's poise and calm demeanor and the way he handles being in meetings and the players and all of that? That was probably the most impressive of anything. Through me dog-cussing the crap out of him and screwing stuff up, he was able to function without basically just going in the tank and quitting…His body language doesn't change. It's so similar to Brandon in that regard that it's just everything just kind of goes. When he gets excited, you hardly even know it.
"By middle of the spring, it started to be apparent that there was a possibility he could be our starter."
Here are some other quotes from that March conversation about the quarterbacks that I thought would be interesting to look at again. Some have shown up in previous stories, while others were left on the cutting room floor.
On what he expected from the quarterbacks at the beginning of spring:
"Chelf's at an advantage because he played more, so he's going to be more efficient in what he does. I don't know if, at any point, are you going to in 15 practices say you know for sure that J.W. or Wes Lunt is better than Clint? You're probably going to have to guess some, because it's not like we're in contact (drills).
"We try to do this at every position — (find out) what's their dominant trait? You either better be a damn good runner at quarterback or a damn good thrower. If you're just kind of OK at everything, do we have enough other good skill guys around to make you look better? No, probably not. So how do you change the game with a certain skill set? With J.W., it might be running. It might be his 'it' factor. He has that. Wes might be with his throwing, but he was just playing for Rochester High School, and that wasn't even the highest level of football against the highest level of competition."
On the likelihood of naming a starter at the end of spring practice:
"We definitely have to have it down to two. You definitely, at that moment, would have to say 'OK, here's where we're at, here's what we're going with.' You may not say that to the guys, but you definitely would have to have it somewhat pared down.
"No one has three quarterbacks that they really like. I don't give a (expletive) what anybody says. You might have two that you think are pretty damn good. You might have a third that's a backup. You could never go (into fall camp) and say, 'Guess what? We're going to go ahead and give everybody equal reps.' There's just no way. So by (the end of spring ball), somehow, you would have had to evaluate everything and say 'OK, Wes isn't ready' (or) 'Wes we think is somewhat ready.' But someone's got to be able to be the third and take the third reps and hope that it works out."
Some more on the quarterbacks' traits:
"If you don't separate yourself (if you're Chelf), the guy with the 'it' factor you have to go with. That's the reality of it. The guy I know right now that has the it factor is J.W. He works harder than anyone else he has, he's always out front, he's got it. Now, there's kids that play Division III football that have it, but they don't have the skill set to play higher."
"Clint's a good kid. He throws it pretty good. He's gotten a lot better. He understands what we're doing. Does he have a moxie? Does he completely believe in himself? Does he take the field and it just shows? No. It doesn't. And you're talking to him about it and whatnot, but can you teach that? I think you can polish it, but I'm not sure, I don't think it's teachable."
"Clint, to me, is going to have to come out and really play well early. Because he's going to keep getting better, but it's not going to grow like the other two will. He's been here…if he's not measurably better you're going to have to say, these guys are eventually going to pass him."
Another random note: Monken mentioned Charlie Moore twice as a receiver that would really need to step up and that had done well during winter workouts. He sure was right about that.

Ted Simons: In November, Arizona voters will decide if the state constitution should be amended to prohibit mandatory healthcare programs. The measure is seen as a way to fight national healthcare policy that's taking shape in congress. It's supported by a group called Arizonans for healthcare freedom. That group held a press conference today at which congressman John Shadegg and Steve Forbes discussed their concerns about federal healthcare reform. I had a chance to speak with both Shadegg and Forbes earlier today. And gentlemen, thank you both for joining us tonight on "Horizon." Congressman, let's start with you. The federal plan, impact of the plan on Arizona?
John Shadegg: I think the impact will be very dramatic at many different levels but not necessarily immediate. Much of the benefits in the program are delayed and don't go into effect until 2013, 2014, down the line. Under the two bills out there right now. Some of the impact in terms of taxes, for example, go into effect almost immediately. 2010. One of the impacts that I think Arizonans are going to be most concerned about is the legislation significantly expands the Medicaid program. Where the costs are shared between the states and the federal government and Arizona's cost of Medicaid is going to go up dramatically at a time when our budget is not in a good position to absorb those increases in cost. So there will be lots of impacts.
Ted Simons: The concern with the federal plan on the state level, are you seeing this in places other than Arizona?
Steve Forbes: Sure, the governor of New York where we have our office, complain, New York is a financial disaster. My home state of New Jersey, the same thing. This is nationwide. The government tells you what to do but doesn't provide the wherewithal to do it.
Ted Simons: You spent the day urging Arizonans to take a look at the Arizona freedom act. Why is this a good idea?
Steve Forbes: I think it gets to the basis of what this country is about -- and that's individual choice. People should have the right to say I don't want to buy this insurance. Or if I do, I want to buy what I want. Not what the government dictates. To be able to buy a health service and providers should be able to provide that health service and not be punished by the government for it. Where we're headed is the government is going to tell providers what they can and cannot do.
Ted Simons: Do you agree, where it's seems like it's the insurance company telling you what to do?
John Shadegg: I would argue they're screwed up because of government rules. As Steve said, there isn't a marketplace or what you and I might call individual patient choice in healthcare today. Your employer buys your healthcare plan and the plan picks your doctor. If you're unhappy with your plan, you can't fire it, because you didn't hire it. If it mistreats, you can't fire it. If it charges too much, you don't pay attention. I recently got procedures and I didn't ask what they cost. I don't pay for them. There's a huge disconnect between the service provider and the consumer. We put employers and plans in between. What we're going to do under this is put the government in between. What Steve and I are saying, let's have you and I as individuals be able to pick our own plan with the doctors we want or the services or hospitals we want and get both of employers out of the middle and the government.
Ted Simons: What if I want plan X, Y, Z but they decide we don't want you?
Steve Forbes: The nice thing about true competition is someone will want you. Right now, as you know, you can't shop nationwide. John has been proposing this for several years. I live in the state of New Jersey. Because of our crazy regulations a family plan costs $15,000 to $20,000. I can buy a similar policy in neighboring Pennsylvania for $7,000 or $8,000. But it's illegal. If you allow nationwide competition, you're going to get hundreds of companies trying to win your business. On TV every night, you have Geico ads and Progressive ads, Allstate ads. Somebody is going to want you because they'll figure out to make money. People are going to figure out how to provide healthcare services at more affordable cost like we do with the rest of the economy.
Ted Simons: Can you compare auto insurance with health insurance. You get in a car wreck, you don't have a car anymore.
Steve Forbes: Sure, right now, you can get it in the emergency room. You have the right to that. Under John's bill, as he can explain, if you do this right, you can have coverage as well. Food, more basic than healthcare. We don't have a food production problem. We have specific problems to deal with it. Like food stamps, why not do the same in healthcare? The government doesn't run the food production, or else we'd be starving.
Ted Simons: The idea of those who can't afford healthcare, those with preexisting conditions, who can't get coverage , this seems to be an overarching effort --
John Shadegg: My own bill eliminates preexisting conditions and can go to a state high-risk pool and get coverage. So the notion of preexisting conditions would go away. My bill and other Republican bills in the congress on the house and senate side provide universal coverage. Covering every American. The differentiation is two things. Number one, under the Democrats' plan, all health insurance sold in America would have to conform to federal guidelines. They're going to dictate what has to be on that policy. They get control of it. What we're saying is look, let people buy insurance on the same basis that a business can right now. That is, same tax basis. And provide them assistance. My bill gives them a tax credit to go out and buy health insurance. But the federal government does two things. One, sets the standard for every health insurance in America. And two, puts a gun at your head, saying you must buy this policy. Let's say, for example, you happen to like holistic medicine. You go out and buy that policy and spend money and you're satisfied with it, you will not satisfy the federal government's rules. They'll tell you that's not an approved government plan so we're going to fine you. The reality is there isn't competition and I think you can compare auto insurance and health insurance at least in this sense. Right now, the health insurance companies do not have to compete for our business or be accountable to us because we didn't hire them. They can raise rates too much. You and I don't care what healthcare costs because some third party is paying for it. And they're not competing for our business. As Steve points out, in the auto insurance industry, they're saying we'll sell you a better policy for a lower price. They don't do that in health insurance because the government makes it impossible.
Steve Forbes: Part of the problem, you look at the history of Medicare, they're laggard in terms of innovation and procedures. That's the problem with government. They're always behind the curve. We have a lot of innovation in both medicine and medical devices and they'll be squeezed out under a system that is trying to cut costs.
Ted Simons: And yet, Medicare is the third rail of politics. Every nation, as you well know as a national politician and candidate, you can't mess with Medicare or they're going to come at you storming the gates.
Steve Forbes: You don't have to take Medicare away. But it's being subsidized by private patients. And number two, in terms of Medicare, is they're taking away things that people do like, like Medicare advantage. Which nine million people are on. That system is going to go. And health savings accounts, those are going to be squeezed out. Any choice is going to go by the boards. It's going to be what the government dictates.
John Shadegg: Medicare is no longer the third rail of politics. They're in fact taking away much of the medicare benefits -- it's surprising that America's seniors haven't risen up and opposed it. Going to hurt minorities and that is a big issue here. But there were two reasons for doing healthcare reform. Number one was the uninsured. We should be covering all of them. The Democrats' plan -- the Republicans of giving people the funds to give everyone their own plan to cover ever single American. But the real problem is it does nothing to constrain costs. The president came forward and said, look, we cannot sustain this continued escalation in the cost of healthcare. But at the end of the day, with the bill they have, they've done literally nothing to restrain costs.
Steve Forbes: The only way they can constrain costs is by denying coverage. In Britain, if you're over a certain age and you need kidney dialysis, forget it. You've never going to get in front of the line. That's how they control costs. Instead of productivity. Like Lasik surgery.
Ted Simons: Lots of people in this country aren't able to get a procedure because they can't afford it.
Steve Forbes: In terms of an immediate emergency, you can in an emergency room. In other countries, in Canada recently, somebody needed angioplasty, they couldn't do it. They had to go across the border. You have longer lines. And studies show. And if you look at the outcomes, 13 of the worse cancers you have a better outcome. Same with the heart disease.
John Shadegg: There are too many people in America that can't afford the care they need. Why is that? Steve just told you in New Jersey where they have all of these mandates, you must cover everything and you have guaranteed issue, the cost of a policy is $15,000 or $20,000. The same policy covering everything in neighboring Pennsylvania where they don't have those mandates is only $7,000. Why is that? Well, it must be that Pennsylvania figured out how to deliver healthcare at a lower cost. I think this initiative will force the health insurance companies to compete, thus bringing down the cost making it less expensive for more Americans. Add to that the tax credit that is in the Republicans' plan and many other plans so that nobody goes without healthcare and you've solved the problem. You know what happens? Where you and I are not buying a government-dictated product, but that the health insurance companies have to market and convince us is good but less expensive, then they're motivated to lower the price.
Ted Simons: Under this idea, will people be motivated to get health insurance if there's not a penalty, not some system that says you have to be in? The criticism is you are either all in or it's not going to work.
Steve Forbes: If you're going to have a government-run plan, yes, they need it all in. But the criticism is saying, gee, if you allow people to buy food when they want, no one is going to eat. They won't clothe themselves or house themselves. People are going to buy health insurance.
Ted Simons: Again, equating food with the -- tell a 20-year-old he needs health insurance, he's not going to buy health insurance.
Steve Forbes: And so when he has an accident, he's going to go to the emergency room, and get a bill for it, and then John's bill will kick in in terms what you have to pay to get this out of the way and they'll wake up to it. The nice thing about true catastrophic coverage, you can cover these hideous bills, for a young person, $30, $40, $50 a month, max.
John Shadegg: Tell a young person he's not going to get health insurance -- the vast majority of 20-year-olds are insured. More would be if it was less expensive. I would argue, and I think the statistical data shows, most who are uninsured are because they can't afford it. How do we solve that problem? In the legislation I've offered every single American, including the homeless, gets a tax credit to go out and buy a health insurance plan and under my bill, if they don't exercise their credit they're put in a pool and if they show up for care, the pool takes care of that care. Why don't the rest buy health insurance? Because it's too expensive. Why is it too expensive? I would submit it's the only place in the American market where we have taken price out. We've divorced the consumer from the person providing the good. The consumer doesn't care how much the price of the medical service is because he or she thinks they're not paying. My employer is paying or the government or somebody else is paying so I have no motivation to say to the insurance company --
Steve Forbes: In anything else you do, you ask what the cost is, what you're going to get for it. Yet if you go to a doctor or a hospital or a clinic and ask, they assume, one, you don't have insurance, or two, you're a nut case. Why would you want to know? What's it to you? So the system goes haywire.
Ted Simons: Last question: Is healthcare in America a right?
Steve Forbes: Healthcare, like food, it's something that everyone can have if you allow the free market to work and have the safety nets in place.
Ted Simons: Not a right?
Steve Forbes: Don't get into semantics. We can cover everyone. Everyone should have food and healthcare, and the reason I hesitate at the word of right, that's a government wedge to come in and say we have to provide it and shove everyone out.
Ted Simons: I used the word right because this initiative, this idea says there are rights and the right to choose your healthcare system should be included in these rights.
John Shadegg: You should have the right to control your healthcare. And not be denied the right to buy it from whoever you want as long as it's legal and not be compelled, as the federal bill will do, to buy something you don't approve of. Think of this from the health insurance perspective. Every single American is being told you must buy their product. They love this bill. They can sell lousy products if the government says you have to buy it no matter how bad it is.
Steve Forbes: We should have a mandate for magazine subscriptions. I'd love that.
John Shadegg: How about every night, everybody must watch at least an hour of channel eight?
Ted Simons: Sold, we've got a winner. Thank you, gentlemen for joining us.

A new theory on here today claims that Softy is a Liberal pretending to be a Conservative in order to mock and belittle them. That is similar to those who thought that Babe pretended to be an ignorant Yankee fan in order to belittle them. You see the forum is saturated with personnas and not real people.

Thanks, Paul. Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us for this morning's conference call.
2012 was a strong performance year for Dover in revenue and earnings, and a truly important year for us as we continue to execute on our strategy. Before I get to our fourth quarter results, I'd like to comment on a few of our key accomplishments during this past year.
With respect to strengthening our company, we continue to concentrate on building our five key growth spaces. We achieve this in two important ways. First, we work quite active in acquiring market leading businesses, investing a total of $1.2 billion. These acquisitions expanded our markets, enhanced our technology and product offerings and broadened our customer base. For example, through the addition of Anthony in our refrigeration space, we now have access to new markets and new geographies. Our product offering is greatly expanded lead by the exciting close to key strength and we have gained access to another set of customers. The same can be said for our Mag Pump and PCS acquisitions, which also added market leading businesses and technologies to our fluids and energy spaces.
Secondly, we announced our plan to divest our electronic assembly and test businesses. Those strong performers these businesses served historically volatile end markets. We believe that this position, these businesses will greatly improve the consistency of our future results. These activities position us very well as we head into 2013.
Additionally in November, we announced a $1 billion share repurchase program. In total for the year, we repurchased 12.3 million shares for roughly $750 million, which includes $250 million against the $1 billion program.
Overall I am very pleased with our financial results for the year. The highlights include 5% organic growth, acquisition growth of 6%, margins exceeding 17%, and nearly $1 billion in free cash flow.
Now some comments on our fourth quarter results. We posted revenue of $2 billion in the quarter, an increase of 6%, and our fourth quarter adjusted EPS of a $1.09, was a 7% improvement over the prior year.
In our Energy segment, increased production activity, especially international markets and continuing strength in downstream distribution and retail fueling were among the trends that drove solid results in the quarter.
Our drilling results as expected continue to be impacted by the lower year-over-year North American rig count. Overall Energy's performance was characterized by modest revenue growth and strong margins.
At Communication Technologies, the consumer electronics market continue to be strong, especially smartphones. Our MEMs activity was again very strong reflecting the breadth of our OEM coverage and the benefits of multiple designs wins.
Regarding Sound Solutions, we are now on an improved path and achieved sequentially better performance in the fourth quarter. We expect this positive trend for Sound Solutions to continue sequentially and for 2013 to be a much better year.
Within our Engineered System segment, refrigeration and food equipment markets remain solid, and our business performance was again quite strong. We were also very happy to close the Anthony acquisition in the quarter.

I picked up three $9 angle grinders, from Menards (on sale), several years ago. One has a masonry blade, one has a metals blade and one has a diamond blade in it. They are always ready to go and don't take up much space. I'm a handyman so the tools get a lot of use.
My pretty yellow Dewalt angle grinder sits on the shelf, unused, because I don't want to get it messed up with brick dust, metal filings or tile shards.
Chosen wisely, the HF stuff can be a good buy for light to medium duty.
My cordless tools are Panasonic and Dewalt, my corded and air tools are Bosch, Hilti and Porter Cable, but they're in use every single day.

a little too small

Some of the supplements I use are big and bulky. I also take quite a few. This is helpful for capsules and small pills, but bigger pills are a problem.

Buy this if you've got time to fiddle bum around placing a few tablets in each slot then having to close the window and spin it round to open the next window.

Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich have promised to complete a nearly 1,950-mile fence. Michele Bachmann wants a double fence. Ron Paul pledges to secure the nation's southern border by any means necessary, and Rick Perry says he can secure it without a fence — and do so within a year of taking office as president.
But a border that is sealed off to all illegal immigrants and drugs flowing north is a promise none of them could keep.
"Securing the border is a wonderful slogan, but that's pretty much all it is," said Ted Galen Carpenter, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute. "Even to come close would require measures that would make legal commerce with Mexico impossible. That's an enormous price for what would still be a very leaky system."
Perry, the longest-serving governor of a state that makes up roughly 65 percent of America's border with Mexico, already knows that. What he's actually pledging, clarifies spokeswoman Catherine Frazier, is achieving "operational control" of the border — defined by the U.S. Border Patrol as areas where it can detect, respond to and interdict illegal activity either at the border or after entry into the U.S.
The U.S. Border Patrol says 873 miles of the border, about 44 percent, have been brought under operational control. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has said that "the border is better now than it ever has been."
Still, that means full control isn't even half met. And even getting this far required bolstering the ranks of the Border Patrol to the highest levels ever, from about 9,500 along the border in 2004 to 18,152 today. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also has a record number of agents on the border, and five Predator drones now patrol strategic parts of it, with a sixth coming by the end of the year. About 650 miles of fencing has been constructed, and 1,200 National Guard soldiers dispatched last year to Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico have had their deployment extended through the end of the year.
Campaigning in Iowa last week, Gingrich signed a pledge to build a fence stretching the length of the border by the end of 2013. That may help him recover from a recent statement that illegal immigrants who have been established in the U.S. for many years should be allowed to remain in the country — a position his opponents have likened to amnesty.
Perry has steadfastly opposed the fence, saying it would take 10 to 15 years to build, cost $30 billion and wouldn't work anyway. Instead, he wants to flood the border with more National Guard troops until the number of Border Patrol agents necessary to really secure the area are trained and deployed. He also wants to build strategic fencing in high-traffic areas and make better use of airborne surveillance. Perry claims that would mean full operational control by January 2014.
Romney, meanwhile, has publicly agreed with Perry that tackling larger immigration policy reform is impossible without first securing the border.
By some measures, U.S. authorities already have made strides toward that goal. The Pew Hispanic Center says the number of illegal immigrants in the United States peaked at 12 million in 2007, but then dropped by almost 1 million through 2009, and has largely held steady since then at about 11.1 million.
Border Patrol apprehensions of illegal immigrants have also fallen sharply. In fiscal year 2011, which ended Sept. 30, the Border Patrol captured 327,577 illegal immigrants on the southwestern border — the lowest total in four decades.
The poor U.S. economy makes would-be illegal immigrants less likely to come, and those who do must contend with Mexico's drug war, which has seen cartel gunmen slaughter people heading north and dump their bodies in mass graves. Jeff Passel, the Pew Center's senior demographer, said the trip is now so risky that the number of illegal immigrants using pricey people smugglers has spiked.

The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes located within the human major histocompatibility complex on chromosome 6 are probably the most polymorphic functional genetic loci studied to date. The functional HLA genes encode protein molecules that function in antigen presentation within the immune response. Polymorphism within these genes influences diversity of the immune response against different pathogenic infections. Such polymorphism within the human population is considered an advantage, as diversity in immune responses allows some individuals to be better than others at combating certain infections and thus ensuring survival of the species. However, this polymorphism also serves as a major barrier against the transplantation of human organs and stem cells, where HLA incompatibility between donor and recipient can lead to graft rejection or, in the case of stem cells, graft vs host disease. The study of HLA polymorphism has been led by transplantation biologists because of the implication of HLA matching in improving transplant outcome. HLA polymorphism data is also utilized in anthropological studies, where the frequency of HLA alleles can be used as a marker for analysis of population genetics. As HLA proteins function in the immune response, it is not surprising to find association between different HLA types and immunerelated diseases, such as autoimmune disease, and in this field HLA typing serves as a disease marker in genetic studies.

Respond to Review of New Beet Cafe
by halrhp
Review: I do most of my shopping at another branch of this small, locally-owned, chain of markets. I do not eat on premises at their cafe. This is one of now 7 New Leaf markets in the area. Their produce selection is very good, dominated by organic fruits and vegetables. Plenty here to choose from; better pricing than Whole Foods. Also locations in downtown Santa Cruz and the west side of Santa Cruz, the latter being larger, and in Half Moon Bay, Felton, and San Jose.

General Information
Welcome to the visa pages of the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia.
What is a Visa ?
A visa is a document that is issued by a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. A visa entitles the holder to travel to the United States and apply for admission; it does not guarantee entry. An immigration inspector at the port of entry determines the visa holder's eligibility for admission into the United States.
- Nonimmigrant visas are required by anyone seeking temporary admission into the United States for tourism, business, education, medical treatment, or petition-based employment. The type of visa required depends on your purpose of travel.
- Immigrant visas are for applicants planning to permanently relocate to the United States.
Location: Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan No. 5, Jakarta Pusat. The Embassy is just south of the Indonesian National Monument in Central Jakarta. There is no parking at or near the Embassy so please come by taxi.

Customer Service Statement
Green Card Fraud Alert
Green Card Fraud AlertMany people have received e-mails stating that they have won a Green Card. These e-mails are not from the U.S. Government. These emails are scams. Do not send any money to anyone and do not reply to these e-mails, just delete them.
The U.S. Government does not advise Diversity Visa lottery applicants of their success by mail or e-mail. Since 2011 all applicants may check the status of their entry through the Entry Status Check at www.dvlottery.state.gov. Entry Status Check will be the ONLY means by which lottery applicants will be notified of their selection for DV-2012. Additionally, Entry Status Check will describe how the successful applicant can proceed with the application visa application. The correct procedures are explained in the DV Lottery 2012 Instructions "Selection of Applicants."
