Comments about FreeMotion 560 Elliptical:
I have owned the machine for 5 months and have now needed 4 separate repairs. It takes a tremendous amount of phone time to get a cust. service rep to send parts, then takes a few weeks to get parts, then takes a couple of weeks to get their service repair man out, each time took multiple phone calls that they say they are following up on and don't. My last time I called them out on this and their answer was they farm it out to a different company so it's not their fault. Well, yes it it their fault. I was told at Sports Authority that service was THREE days not 4-6 weeks or longer this time. The company is super polite on the phone which is nice but they don't come through at all.
My last phone call with them was almost THREE HOURS while they tried to determine the newest problem. (Ridiculous). Don't buy this product unless you want to hang clothes on it. Unfortunately the machine has worked properly for a few weeks out of the 5 months I have owned it, and even then there were squeaks. The shame is the product would be good if it ever worked properly.

Ned Yost media session: September 15
Ned Yost met with the media before tonight's game against the Angels. Like every team, there has been some injuries this season, some significant, with Royals players. Yost talked about his thoughts about the injuries. "You have guys that have certain body types that enable them to go 162 games. I mean knock on wood, but you know guys like (Alcides) Escobar, (Mike) Moustakas, (Eric) Hosmer, and (Jeff) Francoeur have never really had anything that slows them down, but then you get others who are really good players like Chris Getz, (Lorenzo) Cain and (Jarrod) Dyson that one or two things pop up every year. There is nothing you can really do to prevent it, it's just their body types," said Yost.
Last night, Angels' player Kendrys Morales came up to pinch hit, who statistically is a much better hitter from the left side. The Royals pitcher at the time, Aaron Crow, has been good against both lefties and righties, but Yost made the decision to turn Morales around by bringing in lefty Tim Collins. Someone from the media asked the question, "When you are doing those match ups, how much do you gauge what that hitter does vs. what your pitcher can do?" Yost answered with, "I gauge everything. Those are tough because what made it worse for me was it was a 50/50 chance because I felt like Crow was throwing the ball good. Morales burned Crow in Anaheim in a game and from that point on, you think about so many things over the summer, but you make little mental notes as a manager." He then followed with, "That was a mental note that I made that yes, Morales is a phenomenal hitter, he can hit homers from both sides, but he is a better hitter left-handed. Tim is getting righties out where they are only hitting .175 off him. You kind of add everything up and then you make your mind up and make the change. The thinking was absolutely right, but it just didn't work out."

Same-sex couples plan Chick-fil-A kiss-in
Same-sex couples plan to pucker up this evening at Chick-fil-A restaurants across the country to challenge the fast food chain's stance on gay marriage.
Word spread quickly about National Same Sex Kiss Day on the heels of Wednesday's Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, an event that former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee organized to support comments by the restaurant's CEO, Dan Cathy. Cathy recently sparked a national debate after expressing opposition to same-sex marriage.
Hundreds of people showed up to the Mishawaka Chick-fil-A on Main Street on Wednesday. For some, the event was a way to publicly take a stand against same-sex marriage, and for others, the day was about the the protection of the First Amendment right to free speech.
Same-sex couples are planning a counter protest at 8 p.m. today, Aug. 3, at Chick-fil-A restaurants where they will share a kiss to show support for marriage equality for gay couples. A Facebook page set up for the event had roughly 13,800 confirmed attendees nationwide as of this afternoon.

Doc's Skin Care Cool Weather Embrocation $0.00
Applying an embrocation to your legs before riding in cold, wet weather makes the experience far more tolerable -- have you smelled a Belgian start line? As a staple in Belgium during the Spring Classics, embrocation balms keep racers' legs fresh, warm, and protected from the elements. So, do as the Belgians, and before you ride through another 'Belgian summer' day, or simply less than ideal weather, massage Doc's Cool Weather Embrocation into your legs.
Doc's was founded as a result of Dr. 'Doc' Joshua Barton after being unsatisfied with the quality of cycling-specific skin care creams available on the market. As a competitive cyclist himself, Barton worked with both pharmacists and chemists for four years in order to produce a new line of all-natural skin care products that're specifically designed for athletes. Doc's skin care line covers three areas: protection during sporting activities, repair when the aforementioned protection isn't enough, and aiding in normal recovery.
This embrocation falls under the first category, and its easy to why. It provides increased protection from the elements, however, with a host of all-natural ingredients, it doesn't put off the atrocious odor that's all-too-common with embrocations. Instead, it features all-natural shea, cocoa, and avocado butters that have been blended with sweet almond, meadow foam, evening primrose, rose hip, and rosemary. And because only necessary and effective ingredients are added, the formulation results in a persistent and long lasting skin barrier that isn't overly greasy. Doc's Cool Weather Embrocation gently warms the skin, providing a lasting feeling of warmth to your legs throughout your ride.
Doc's Cool Weather Embrocation comes in a 4 ounce jar and is manufactured in the USA.

Like, don't love it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The plusses. The main reason I tried it was that it's all natural. I still like it for that. It's a normal color, so you don't look like you've been spray tanning before hopping on the bike. Also, the smell is neutral. Provides a good water barrier.
I'll preface the downside by saying I live in New England and I'm probably comfortable enough with nothing for the temperature range which this is intended. I didn't feel the warming. Regardless of the cause, the tingly feeling of some of the other choices out there tell my simple mind that the stuff is working and it's not really 45 degrees and raining out.

Carteret County officials have issued a boil water advisory for people in the North River/Mill Creek water system.
The advisory is a precaution, officials say. A recent sample of drinking water tested positive for the presence of coliform bacteria.
"Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the treatment or distribution system (pipes)," says a statement issued by Carteret County. "Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or E. coli, are present. We did not find any of these bacteria in our subsequent testing. However, we advise customers to boil water used for human consumption until we have determined that the coliform bacteria is no longer present in the system."
Bring all water for human consumption to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice.
Boiling the water kills any bacteria and other organisms in water.

Van Der Kamp Kicking His Way To The Top
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State senior Kirby Van Der Kamp can't hide anymore. His stats won't let him.
The West Des Moines, Iowa, native enters his senior season with the Cyclones as one of the most heralded punters in the nation thanks to three seasons of booming punts and clever placements.
A two-time All-Big 12 pick and 2012 Ray Guy Award semifinalist, Van Der Kamp has snared a bundle of preseason awards, including preseason All-America honors from both Athlon's and Phil Steele.
The preseason honors are nice, but Van Der Kamp knows the regular season is where it counts.
"It's a great honor to receive those accolades," Van Der Kamp said. "It shows all the hard work I've put in. I always look at it as something that I have to prove. I can receive those awards preseason, but it really doesn't mean anything until the end of the year."
Van Der Kamp is already established as one of the greatest punters in school history. He has a career 42.8 yards per punt average, which ranks second on ISU's career chart behind Marc Harris, who averaged 43.1 ypp from 1993-96. However, there's more to a quality punter than just a high average.
Great punters possess a precision touch with their feet where the placement of a punt is more important than its length. Nobody was better at this than Van Der Kamp last season, leaving 29 of his 77 punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line.
In fact, through his first three games a year ago, Van Der Kamp placed an amazing 14-of-his-19 punts inside 20 yards with no return. It's a skill Van Der Kamp has spent years crafting.
"It's a lot of repetition and just doing it over and over again," Van Der Kamp said. "It's a lot of just letting your body do its thing. A kicker or a punter's worst enemy is thinking. The more you think, the worse you do. It's about getting those reps in and letting the muscle memory take over in a game."
Van Der Kamp has plenty of lofty goals in store for the 2013 season. Goals for his team, however, will come first. He will cherish every time he takes the field at Jack Trice Stadium in his final year.
"It's definitely a bittersweet feeling," Van Der Kamp said of his final tour of duty as a Cyclone. "I'm excited to be a senior and step-up to be a leader on this team. I've had a great time here and couldn't ask for anything better. I know that last game is going to be pretty hard for me."
Iowa State Career Punting Average
1. Marc Harris (1993-96) 43.1
2. Kirby Van Der Kamp (2010-) 42.8
3. Tony Yelk (2001-05) 42.3
4. Rick Blabolil (1975-77) 41.7
5. Rick Frank (1985-86) 41.4

"The paper quality was A+ and the final product is pretty much identical to what you see on your screen. Colors are true. The only thing I would have liked was an option to extend the text box upwards a bit to accommodate for more text."
"Love these cards! I was looking for an informal design that wasnt overly religious and kept turing back to these. As someone who did a lot of scrapbooking, these cards have that style with a layered look. I used the dark blue ink and alternated with the grey. People receiving these cards have loved them and tell me they can't stop looking at it. The paper quality is high (nice and thick) and I even love the fun design on the back of the card."
"The invite lets you put in your own wording, do formatting, and lets you know if it will fit or not. This is very cool feature. The ability to use the picture in invite also adds a special touch. Great design and quality!!!"
"We received so many compliments on these invitations! Several people told us they were the most unique Bat Mitzvah invitations they had seen."

Hopper Leaps Into Reading at St. Cloud
Hi there! Hopper the Frog here. I had so much fun today. I joined 37 boys and girls at the St. Cloud Public Library for stories and songs, and we even did a craft project. While my library helpers Connie and Bev read One Frog Sang by Shirley Parenteau and Leap Back Home To Me by Lauren Thompson, the children and I did hand motions and even made frog sounds. Ribbett! We sure enjoyed singing to Raffi's Five Little Frogs, (available on the CD The Singable Songs). Then I watched the children create a frog scene using construction paper cutouts of frogs and lily pads. Those paper scenes sure reminded me of home. Each tadpole (child) was given a small toy frog as they left to remind them of our time together. I've been "hopping" around the state as part of the Leap Into Reading initiative. It's never too early to encourage reading and reading readiness with your children. I look forward to "hopping" into your library branch soon!

I just bought a Nikon D7000. When shooting I would like to be able to see my picture on my laptop as soon as I shoot it when I am shooting portraits. What do I need to accomplish this? How do I connect my camera to the laptop and what software do I need. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with Windows 7.
The phrase you want to google for is "tethering" It can be wired or wireless.
The cheapest solution is wired, you just plug in a USB cable (if your camera has a USB port, all Canon's do, so I assume Nikons do as well) between the camera and your laptop.
Check the CD that came with your camera, there is probably a tethering utility on it. I know there is on the Canon version.
And as @darkcat said, Adobe Lightroom and other programs can do it.
Note: I've found that while Lightroom 4 works with my 50D, it has some buffering problems when talking to my MacBook Pro with 8GB of ram. After 5 or so shots, it becomes slow and this makes taking shots sluggish. With the Canon bundled program, I can keep shooting as fast as my finger works. I've never heard a good technical explanation as to why Lightroom is so slow.
As Pat Farrell said, you can use Adobe Lightroom 4 for tethered shooting.
You can also use the Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 which will let you to control the camera remotely.
There are also solutions involving the new eyefi SD cards if your camera supports it. I was slightly amazed when someone was able to do it with their tablet because that seems far more practical for someone that's on the move.

Laurel's Emmanuel Baptist Church Celebrates 32 Years
By the time the celebration started at 5 p.m., Emmanuel Baptist Church was already packed. The choir, resplendent in blue and gold robes, sang a favorite hymn as the audience clapped.
The pastor, the Rev. Byron J. Day, and church First Lady Pamela Day, were seated at the front of the congregation, beaming, as many of the church's 300 members celebrated the 32nd anniversary of the Laurel-Bowie Road house of worship. The service marked the fourth day of festivities. For three days prior, members had gathered at the church each evening for a revival. The church birthday celebration, themed "Living in Victory by Faith," from the Bible verse 1 John 5:4, ran from Oct. 2-4. All events took place inside the church's quaint double-wide trailer nestled in a semi-rural area not far from the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
The culminating event of the anniversary celebration took place on Oct. 6, when the EBC congregation welcomed the Rev. Timothy Loftin, pastor of Pleasant Rock Baptist Church in Baltimore. Delivering his sermon to an enthusiastic congregation of more than 300 attendees, including members of his own church, Rev. Loftin recited EBC's motto: "We are a Bible preaching, a Bible teaching, and a Bible-believing church."
The anniversary celebration marked a time to reflect on the church's history, from its humble beginnings as a 50-member congregation in 1981 to its current roster of 300 members who attend today.
"It has been an experience to watch the church grow and to watch the number of people grow and come to know the Lord," said church secretary Evelyn Davis, who has been a member since 1998.
Davis recalled how she has watched EBC double in size in her 15 years as a member. What started out as a small 2,700 square-foot space grew to a 5,000 square-foot facility including a sanctuary, small kitchen and offices.
"I look forward to watching EBC expand their ministries so that more people can get to know the Lord," Davis said.
Incorporated in October 1981, Emmanuel Baptist Church was created to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the then fast-growing town of Laurel, according to the church's website. The church was created when representatives from three northern Prince George's County congregations—First Baptist Church of Laurel, Faith Baptist Church and Beltsville Baptist Church—decided that there needed to be another house of worship in the South Laurel area.
As part of the revival's three-day festivities, EBC welcomed the Rev. Everett Pope, pastor of United Baptist Church in New Carrollton on Oct. 2; the Rev. Clyde Pearson, pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church in Temple Hills on October 3; and the Rev. Quintin Few, pastor of First Baptist Church of Suitland in Forestville on Oct. 4.
Loftin told the church that to stay strong, the members need to work as a team. He urged them to be committed and offer their services by volunteering to do everything from cooking for events to taking out the trash.
And, he said, "Always remember to take care of your pastor."

Cyclones Fall To Two Ranked Foes In Tri-Meet
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State gymnastics team (4-9 overall, 1-1 Big 12) put up a score of 194.250, but fell their tri-meet on Saturday to No. 21 Denver (196.725) and No. 17 Boise State (195.925). Despite the losses, the Cyclones had a number of standout performers, including a career-high score from senior Milan Ivory.
Floor Exercise
Ivory was the story here, as the senior smashed her previous career-high (9.875) with a 9.925 in the anchor position for Iowa State. It was the highest score of Ivory's career, regardless of event. Caitlin Brown put up the Cyclones' second-highest score of the rotation with a 9.825. Iowa State scored 48.775 team points in their second rotation.
Balance Beam
Brown put up the Cyclones' best score of the first rotation, with a 9.8. Henrietta Green and Alex Marasco followed closely with scores of 9.75. Another highlight of the rotation was that sophomore Sammie Pearsall made her return to the beam lineup and scored a 9.7 on her first competitive routine of the year. The team score was 48.750 on beam.
Ivory and Brown led the way for Iowa State in the third rotation, with both gymnasts putting up scores of 9.825. Ivory's score of 9.825 tied a season-high for the senior. Megan McDonald followed with a score of 9.725. The Cyclones' team score on vault was a 48.750.
Uneven Parallel Bars
Camille Santerre put up another score of 9.9 in the final routine of the meet for Iowa State, her fifth score of 9.9 or higher this season. Green also tied a season-best effort with a 9.850 in the fifth slot for the Cyclones to help close meet strong. The Cyclones had a team score of 47.975 in their fourth rotation.
Up Next
The Cyclones will head to Morgantown, W.Va. to compete in the Big 12 Championships on Saturday at 3 p.m. CT.

DNR Conducts Fish Kill At Black Hawk Lake
(Lake View) -- In an effort to improve the water quality at Black Hawk Lake, near Lake View, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is purposely killing all the fish within the lake. DNR officials were applying a fish toxicant rotenone to kill all remaining fish within the Sac County lake. Ben Wallace serves as the DNR's Fisheries Management Biologist and explains why the DNR is taking the action to kill the fish.
Listen to
Wallace says it will be a couple of years before anglers will have the opportunity to fish at Black Hawk Lake, but he says the fishing should be better. He talks about the type of fish that will be restocked in Black Hawk.
Listen to
Will the actions of the D-N-R hurt the tourism trade this summer to Black Hawk Lake? Wallace says the lake is still popular for recreational purposes, and believes people will still come to the lake.
Listen to
The D-N-R fish biologist says the toxin will dissipate by next spring. He also says it will not harm birds or animals.

Hi all - I hope this is a good place for this discussion. I'm having trouble finding a forum to express my concerns anywhere else.
I'm due with baby #3 in a couple of weeks (July 20 is my EDD) and I've recently begun to get informed about all the unnecessary things that go on with hospital births. I've begun to want to assert myself with this (probably last) delivery and have a birth experience that's as intervention-free as possible. BUT - I'm only two weeks away, I could go into labor at any time. I don't think looking for a birthing center or finding a home-delivery assistant is viable at this point. Realistically, I'm having this baby in the hospital.
I've had 2 perfectly fine birth experiences at this hospital. I had an epidural with my 1st, found I didn't like how I felt while it was wearing off, and had my second without any pain meds or epidural. Both times my labor was pretty brief and uncomplicated so I never felt like I HAD to assert myself. This time, I really want to keep off the monitor, avoid vaginal exams, etc. What are my rights? How likely are they to put up a fuss?
I don't want to cave over issues I believe in but I feel like time is working against me. Any advice?
Views: 736
I just joined this group today. I'm a mom of 5. I had my last baby at home 10 years ago. My husband and I had to go into the hospital during my 33rd week of pregnancy because I had gone into pre term labor and my midwife wasn't comfortable with me having him at home that early. Upon arrival, we knew what to expect and had prepared ourselves for it. We were upset (angry, even) when we were heavily condemned for our refusal of an IV. My husband informed the nurse that I was hydrated, I had been drinking water all day and had probably had 2 gallons by that point in the day. The nurse told us that we were endangering the life of our baby (by not having an IV? Really?) and called the on-call Doctor in the room. He did the same thing, condescended to us, tried to guilt trip us, etc. We held firm and asked for them to do what they could to stop my labor without an IV. They were able to give me a shot (which they could have done in the first place without the lectures) which stopped my labor. I ended up going to 41 weeks 2 days with that pregnancy. My healthy baby boy was born at home after a 2 hour 40 minute labor, weighing 11 pounds 4 ounces.
That experience was the first I had ever had like that. My previous 4 births were all planned hospital births, where I was uninformed and did whatever they told me to do. Because of that experience, I would feel as you do in your situation. It will probably not be easy, and you will probably run into opposition at every turn. I have a few of suggestions for you:
1) Be educated and informed. Read as much as you can about natural child birth. Know why they insist on these interventions and why you don't need them. Have your husband do the same. Cram as much knowledge into your head as you possibly can in these next tw0 (+/-) weeks.
2) Hire a doula. Tell her what you want and how important it is to you. It will then be her job to advocate for you when you can't do it for yourself. A lot of doulas will even work for a lower rate or free of charge if you have a financial issue. Women who become doulas do so because they love birth and they believe that women are capable of doing it.
3) Write a birth plan. You can find samples online and insert your own wishes. Give a copy to your doctor and go over it with him/her at your next visit. Request that it be put in your file. Take a copy with you to the hospital and give your doula a copy. Have someone remind the nurse when you check in that it's already on file and you want to have it followed as closely as possible. Have extra copies in your bag just in case.
4) Be open-minded. Occasionally there is a reason for an intervention. In your birth plan, outline what you consider legitimate reasons for interventions, and what interventions you are willing to accept should something happen. Do all you can to make everyone aware of your choices before you go into labor so that you don't have to try an articulate them during your birth.
Good luck!!! ~Erin
Im a Bradley instructor and these are some tips I give my students. With these three things specifically, its really knowing the basic policy of your doctor before you get to the hospital. With the EFM, I will be honest in that most doctors and hospitals insist on an intermittent strip at least, you can do things to put this off like get up and use the bath room when the nurse comes into your room, heck, stay on the toilet to labor if its comfortable. If you are willing to be flexible you can just allow a short strip run, but it depends on how alarmist your doctor is if you are comfortable with that. Remember prioritizing is important, so pick which battles are most important. For me the vaginal exam would be more important then the intermittent EFM, meaning if you dont want a vag exam then be firm, let them know that you are concerned about infection especially if the bag of waters is broken or that it is extremely uncomfortable to you especially because you are not on any meds. This is a totally unnecessary intervention as far as I am concerned. Possibly you could be flexible when you are feeling the urge to push and let them check just to be sure you dont have a lip of the cervix blocking the head or anything, it will make them feel better, sigh. The IV is an easy one as long as you dont have Group B strep. If you dont and you are willing to be flexible then just insist on a heparin-lock. They will open the vein but leave a lock in place, that way you know they are not hooking up secret fluids or injecting Pitocin in your bag, but you will give them the peace of mind that if an emergency arrises that you already have a vein open and they dont have to worry about it. It depends on your comfort level, it didnt bother me that much compared with the labor pains. If you have Group B strep you can ask to have the antibiotics (if you agreed to them) intermittently and the IV removed after the administration.
Basically you are in the hospital and things are not going to be perfect, thats why folks have homebirth. I have to have hospital birth too, because of finances, but you can do little things to make the best of it. Personally I think prioritizing is key, what is REALLY important to you, stick to your guns on those things and weigh your options on the rest, that way you are not arguing about everything. The best advice, depending on how far you are from the hospital, wait as long as possible before even showing up there! Discuss everything with your doctor beforehand and get an idea about which policies are most important to them. Let them know that you are an informed consumer and that these are things that are of concern to you. As far as your rights are concerned, you can refuse anything but if you talk to your doctor beforehand and have a birthplan then they are less likely to put up a fuss. I second the doula comment, if you can afford one that has experience at the hospital you are delivering at dealing with interventions they can be helpful but the doctors and nurses always have to hear it from your mouth, the doula cannot speak on your behalf.
Hope that helps a little!
Thank you, Candace and Erin! I appreciate the feedback.
I will keep working on sorting my priorities - I don't have any problem with a heparin lock and intermittent monitoring, though I'd prefer to monitored with Doppler or a stethoscope as these methods seem to carry less risk of C-section.
I'm hearing more and more that my best chance of going intervention free is to stay away as long as possible, and that's very doable - with my first two I only labored at the hospital for an hour or two before giving birth.
I am planning to talk to my doctor today, not sure I can have a whole birth plan ready by my appointment, but I have a pre-registration appointment at the hospital next week and can be ready with one by then. Hopefully that will be a good time to firm up what THEIR priorities are and see how we can mesh them with my own. Still sort of angry/amused at how much I think I'll need to concede to to keep THEM happy but I know they have their reasons and there's no point getting adversarial at this late date!
I wish I'd been better informed earlier and am thankful that my lack of education didn't prevent (nearly) natural births with my first two. And I'm REALLY thankful that I found Business of Being Born and some other great information before it was too late to try for the birth experience I really want for this baby!
I know what you mean about how much you have to concede. I prefer to look at it as how much you have to manipulate them, to trick them into thinking they have control, not that its alot better. Its sad but its the reality of the state of maternity care in the US today and thanks to people like Rikki and Abby perhaps it will change. I dream of the days of insurance covered homebirth and birth centers dotting every corner but I dont know if we will ever get there and seeing as I'm on my last pregnancy I wont be able to enjoy it. Perhaps our grandchildren will have options!!!
Im in the exact same boat as you, due in September. Best of luck!!!
Of course it depends on the hospital and their protocol somewhat, but it may not be incredibly different at anywhere you go. You must understand that once you are there, they're thinking of their own liability and it may be very difficult to avoid the monitor wholesale. I would also offer that you only want to be checked when you ask for it, and ask how your doctor feels about that (don't go in saying you don't want any vaginal checks whatsoever). Are you willing to compromise--say--15 minutes every hour on the monitor? A cervical check every 3 hours? Be ready to offer such an olive branch, because you will need to compromise somehow at most hospitals.
Indeed it may be a "perfectly fine" experience if you're not generally asserting yourself in any way. It is your right not to submit to medical treatment of any kind, but there are limits to what your rights are once you've given yourself over to the care of your doctors and the hospital staff, and there are certainly limits to how much your birth team will want to put up with you asserting yourself. There have been scary cases of hospitals getting injunctions to perform a c-section, for example.
Sorry, I digress. The crux of this: Talk to your doctor NOW, not while you're in labor.
I so know how you are feeling. I am due with my second any time now and I am freaking out. My first birth didnt go so well so I am doing all I can to make this one different.
I will be delivering at a military facility, and I have only been told bad stories about them, but I have no other options because of insurance issues.
Today I talked to one of the OBs and she assured me that they would do everything they could to make me comfertable, but to remember they cant do anything without my ok first.
I do agree that staying away as long as possible is probably your best plan of action. That is what I plan also.
My third beautiful daughter, Cordelia Josephine Wilson, was born at 9:18 Monday morning. I started having serious nonstop contractions while dropping my kids off at their summer school, went home and picked up my husband and went straight to the hospital. We got there about 8:45. With only a half hour to prep everything and actually deliver, there was no question of any intervention! I know the EFM was hooked up but I never saw it or heard it. No IVs, no pain meds offered, etc. They didn't even give me the Pit injection after since the placenta came fast and was whole.
It was chaotic and pretty scary, going so fast, and the pain was very intense - my contractions never let up for more than a couple of seconds. So it wasn't the natural childbirth experience of my dreams, exactly - more of a wild rumpus than I had imagined! - but Cordelia and I were both safe and are very happily at home now!
Thank you for asking, and thanks to everyone who replied. I hope all of you have your best births!

This Lop Feeder, crafted from
galvanized metal, is 11½" wide, 3" deep, and 6½" high. The hopper
tray extends outward by 3½", to accommodate blocky lop rabbit heads. Feeder
hangs on the outside of the cage for ease of filling, and the hopper slides
inside through an opening you cut in the cage wire, saving room inside the cage
for the rabbit. Alternatively, our feeders now have hooks on the back
whereby they can be attached to the wire inside the cage, eliminating
the need to cut the wire, however it does then require more space inside the
Because the hopper is wider than the standard hopper, the manufacturer has added support tabs on each side of the feeder which support the screen - typical of the high quality and attention to detail of Quality Cage Co. (the manufacturer).
Fresh feed is kept clean and
constantly available, as the screen mesh bottom lets fines and dust fall out of
the feeder. This is important, as a) fines can quickly mold in humid climates, b)
unless rabbits are very hungry, they almost invariably refuse to eat the fines,
and 3) fines can end up choking the hopper, if not screened, reducing or
eliminating access to the feed pellets.
To gauge the size, the 9.5" feeder is more than
ample enough to feed a group of lop rabbits such as sister does or a litter of weanlings and their dam for 2-3 days, or more. (Note that adult rabbits should not regularly be free-fed, to prevent obesity.)
See our Standard Feeders, which come
in all sizes and have hoppers only 2.5 deep, perfect for most standard rabbit
breeds, if your rabbit is not a Lop.

Sunscreen is your first line of defense against the UV energy of the sun, which can burn your skin, prompt the appearance of wrinkles and give rise to skin cancer. When you apply your sunscreen, you shouldn't have to worry if the ingredients in it will irritate your skin or lead to illness later in life. Simple, safe sun care is the mission of Supergoop, the skin care collection designed to fully comply with the rigorous sunscreen safety standards of Europe. When you choose sunscreens from the collection, you can be sure that you're receiving the best possible sun protection without any of the preservatives or potentially toxic chemicals that can compromise your skin's health.
See our Q&A with Holly Thaggard, CEO and Founder of Supergoop!
The Supergoop skin care collection was developed by Holly Thaggard, a skin care professional who has worked in the sun care industry for years. The collection contains a full array of sun protection solutions from products designed for daily use as well as for days when you'll be outside enjoying the sun for hours. Trust the Supergoop sunscreen range for safe, highly effective UV protection.
Are you looking for a sunscreen that contains the most powerful antioxidants? Try the award-winning Supergoop.
Supergoop founder Holly Thaggard created the brand with a very important goal in mind: give consumers a formula that they can wear 365 days a year to protect them from UV rays and, at the same time, make their skin healthier.
The Supergoop products are powered by many nourishing ingredients. Vitamins E and B5 help your body to process nutrients, plus they stimulate cell renewal. Hydrovotin 24 encourages your skin to stay moisturized, creating a barrier to keep environmental stressors at bay. Uniprotect PT-3 supports your body's ability to repair itself at the cellular level. The natural oat peptide complex promotes the production of collagen, the protein that provides structure and firmness to your skin. Vitamin C helps to repair the damage caused by past sun exposure, and then brightens and evens your complexion. Shea butter deeply conditions your skin.
Supergoop is proud of what it doesn't contain, too. The line is free of parabens, petrochemicals, and fragrances. No animals are used when testing the products, so the brand is cruelty-free, too. And Supergoop never includes oxybenzone in its formulas. The chemical oxybenzone is an ultraviolet filter and is commonly used in sunscreens. Recent studies have indicated that the risks outweigh the UV-blocking benefits of oxybenzone. Some studies show that oxybenzone could interfere with hormone production. Another study suggests that by absorbing oxybenzone, skin may exhibit free radical damage. Thus, all of the products from Supergoop are oxybenzone-free.

Economics as a discipline is concerned with the principles underlying the production and exchange of products and services. The study of economics stems from the scarcity of resources and the limitless nature of our demands for products and services. Societies must therefore choose the goods and services that will be produced from among the larger range of production possibilities. Economics develops the principles and concepts that follow from this fact of scarcity and applies them to the analysis of various aspects of human activity.
All economics majors must take the following courses:
These are introductory courses in the Economics Department (49.201 and 49.202), which may be taken in either order, survey economic problems, policies, and theory. Required courses in microeconomic and macroeconomic theory and in statistics provide a deeper analytical foundation and the necessary quantitative tools to pursue graduate study in economics.
In addition to these required courses, the student chooses six economics electives from the courses listed below. These electives provide students with opportunities to explore subject areas that are of personal interest and consistent with career objectives.
Besides these 12 courses, a major in Economics must choose one of two options: proficiency in a modern language or proficiency in quantitative skills. (Consult the "University Academic Policies: Language Requirement" section for details of the language proficiency requirement).
The option in quantitative skills requires the fulfillment of the following:
This track is designed to provide the student with a strong and flexible background in economic theory and some important applications of that theory. In addition to the six required courses, the student chooses six additional economics courses. The minimum mathematics requirement for an economics major, even those choosing the language proficiency option, is Management Pre-Calculus (92.121).
Students who have maintained a 3.0 GPA may enroll in a five-year program, which earns them a BA in Economics and a MA in Regional Economic and Social Development (RESD). Students who elect this option may count two of their 500 Level RESD courses from the following list toward fulfillment of their Economics BA requirement. These courses would count as two of the six required upper-division elective courses. Students electing this option are also automatically enrolled in the graduate school at UMass Lowell and need not take the GRE exams, provided they maintain a 3.0 GPA.
View Course of Study
Eighteen credit hours are needed for a minor in Economics. All minors must take Economics I (49.201) and Economics II (49.202). Four additional economics electives are required, two of which must be at the 300 level or 400 level.
Within this general framework, a wide variety of options is open to students who minor in economics. Courses can be taken to emphasize a particular area such as international, quantitative or environmental economics, or a series of courses can be chosen from different areas to strengthen or complement the student's major discipline. Some of these courses are required in many MBA programs, and some schools waive them if they have been taken at the undergraduate level.

Tallahassee, FL-The Red Hills International Horse Trials are less than a week away. And one Tallahassee equestrian is getting ready to compete in front of her hometown crowd.
Rebecca Willner competed in last year's competition.
Willner says she's been riding since she was four. But she says having the chance to compete in front of her family and friends means the world to her.
"It's a little bit of pride. Yeah you do put in a lot of time and hard work, so you want to make them proud and they get to see the whole partnership in action. It's pretty neat," said Willner.
Willner says she's been training with her horse, Troubadour Hall, for Red Hills for about three months.
She says they've been working on strength training and the gallop in preparation for Red Hills.
The Red Hill Trials start this Friday.

A lymphatic malformation is a mass in the head or neck that results from an abnormal formation of lymphatic vessels. Lymphatic vessels are small canals that lie near blood vessels and help carry tissue fluids from within the body to the lymph nodes and back to the bloodstream.
There are two main types of lymphatic malformations:
Lymphangioma - a group of lymphatic vessels that form a mass or lump. A cavernous lymphangioma contains greatly enlarged lymphatic vessels.
Cystic hygroma - a large cyst or pocket of lymphatic fluid that results from blocked lymphatic vessels. A cystic hygroma may contain multiple cysts connected to each other by the lymphatic vessels.
Nearly all cystic hygromas occur in the neck, although some lymphangiomas can occur in the mouth, cheek, and tissues surrounding the ear, as well as other parts of the body. Lymphatic malformations are present at birth, but they are sometimes not detected until the child is older. Some lymphatic malformations can spread into surrounding tissues and affect the proper development of the area. Lymphatic malformations may also enlarge and become infected following an upper respiratory infection.
Lymphatic malformations are sometimes seen in children with certain chromosome abnormalities and genetic conditions, including Down syndrome and Turner syndrome.
A lymphatic malformation is a congenital (present from birth) defect that occurs during early embryonic development when the lymphatic vessels do not properly form. The vessels may become blocked and enlarged as lymphatic fluid collects in the vessels, forming a mass or a cyst.
An internal lymphatic malformation in the mouth or cheek may not be noticed until it becomes infected and enlarges. Cystic hygromas can grow very large and may affect breathing and swallowing. The following are the most common symptoms of a lymphatic malformation. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
A mass or lump in the mouth, cheek, or tongue beneath the mucous membrane that lines the area
A large, fluid-filled mass to the lower side and back of the neck under the platysma muscle (a thin, flat muscle that extends from the upper chest to the jaw)
The symptoms of a lymphatic malformation may resemble other neck masses or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
During pregnancy, a fetal ultrasound may detect some large lymphatic malformations. Ultrasound is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate organs and structures inside the body with high-frequency sound waves. After birth, diagnosis of a lymphatic malformation is generally determined by a physical examination. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for a lymphatic malformation may include the following:
Transillumination - a method of examination by the passage of light through tissues to assist in diagnosis. The light transmission changes with different tissues.
Computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan) - to determine if other organs are connected to the malformation. A CT scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
Specific treatment of lymphatic malformation will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Your child's age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the condition
Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Observation of the malformation (to watch for growth or changes)
Antibiotic medications (to treat infection)
Incision and drainage of the lesion
Surgery (to remove the lymphatic malformation)
A small percentage of lymphangiomas can regrow and are often detectable within a year after surgery. Regrowth is more likely with larger and more complicated malformations.

- Investigate DataGrid binding to EntityDataSource
- Investigate downlevel Upload functionality for WebKit browsers
- Investigate TreeView persistence problem in UpdatePanel (D6483)
- Investigate DataGrid nested groups missing record problem (D6143)
- Investigate SpellCheck problem with apostrophized words (D7080)
- Investigate potential Dialog issue with .NET 4
- Investigate Chart zero value bug (D6885)
- Fix SpellCheck issue with newly added words (D6970)

- Investigate DataGrid vertical scrolling issue (D6982)
- Fix ComboBox dropdown expansion issue (D6713)
The final change log will likely contain a number of additional items and may not include all the fixes being investigated. Over the next couple of weeks, do feel free to make additional feature/fix suggestions in this thread.
Kind regards,
Milos Glisic
Director of Development
ComponentArt Inc.
great , looking for this
also guys change the demo style design , the current one is too old i think from 2009
It's looking very likely that there's going to be some good news on the webkit / upload front- you should see something very shortly!
Hi again everyone!
We've just released UI Framework 2011. It's available for download from the standard download page. You can see the final change log here.
Thanks for all the feedback on this! Please keep it coming.
Indeed it does. You will find the new target build under Program Files/ComponentArt/UI Framework 2011/assembly
We will update the change log KB article to reflect this.
Deeply disappointed to put it mildly. One release in 2010, Now we've got a 2011 release that doesn't contain a single new control across the spectrum. The change log is either incomplete, or this is nothing more than a minor point release.As a subscriber for more than 5 years, my subscription will most likely be coming to an end. (Why isn't your spell checker hooked up to this editor?). 4 years ago, nobody was close on the client side, but you never opened the client side to your developers, and innovation came to a screeching holt.You guys started as a bleeding edge "Web" component provider. Apparently, priorities have changed.Data Visualization looks cool, but I am not a WPF developer and Silverlight (much like Flash) has a hazy future. In the past five years, the open source (and commercial) client side libraries have lapped you guys several times over. How many years has it been since you released the highly anticipated editor and still it's not production ready?When was the last release with a truly innovative component?Harsh I know, but that's my 2 cents. It appears CA got stuck in the post back world, a view source will tell you all you need to know...
Hello, tstacy.Let me try to address your points.On the substance of our latest UI Framework release: While it does read as a sizable service pack in its obvious focus on fixes and expanded platform support, we intended (and, I hope, succeeded) to address the most burning concerns brought up by our existing customers. Since the most popular controls are very mature in terms of features, we felt we would add more value for existing customers by ensuring that the most frequently encountered problems are removed, rather than adding yet more controls, possibly with diminishing returns.We are currently planning two major releases in 2011, in which we will continue to focus on customer feedback when prioritizing fixes and features. Your requests will definitely be taken into consideration as we nail down the work items for the next development push.On the future of Silverlight: Rather than having a hazy future, it is our view that Silverlight is (and will remain for the foreseeable future) the main Microsoft technology for building enterprise applications. Technologically this is certainly the case, and strategically Microsoft is entirely committed to this, with no viable alternatives present or planned.I hope this helps explain our position somewhat.All the best,Milos GlisicDirector of DevelopmentComponentArt Inc.

Recently, a lot of debate is going on over the death penalty. I am a completely apolitical person and I don't wish to get into the 'politics' of it; to me the killers of Rajiv Gandhi, Afzal Guru, Kasab and other heinous criminals who are a menace to mankind itself, all deserve the death penalty but I have a problem. I am dead against death penalty itself and therefore I find it atrocious and criminal that civilised men in power are fighting for the death penalty in front of cameras!! I strongly think the death penalty should be abolished universally. To me, death 'penalty' may not be a 'penalty' at all; who knows maybe it could actually be granting them 'mukti' or an 'escape from worldly miseries' (misery, which in their case, would be 'imprisonment till death'), well before they deserve it. Rather, let the criminals be punished in this lifetime of theirs, alive'; awarding them a 'death penalty' might actually be allowing them to go scott free in their 'lives' itself. Punish them with the strictest of measures but as human beings ourselves. Why should we resort to 'killing' in the name of punishment and commit the same crime in the name of capital punishment? Killing consciouly should never be an option no matter what the logic is. To me, killing is killing. Whether it is a part of a crime or a 'means' of punishment.
Time and again history has proved that the 'death penalty' cant be a deterrent to barbaric crimes or else the countless death penalties would have made the world a crime free zone by now. The world has always seen co-existence of good and evil and therefore we should rather preserve and keep 'criminal minded' people alive in captivity (of course) as 'case studies' to learn more about why/how and what brain chemistry drives them to commit such crimes that qualifies for the death penalty in theory. With genetic science and study on DNA etc having reached such heights and depths, would it help if we had 'case studies' handy? Who knows maybe we might come up with some remedy some day, afterall anarchic thinking must be a disease in itself.
In a nutshell, death penalty is not only an act of cowardice by the civilised human being but also an act that defies logic. Who died and sent us a confirmation that death was a 'penalty' in the first place?
Most would agree that in today's ruthless world, 'living' is !!
Mumbai has faced many acts of terror, yet the very next day the city appeared to be a normal day to the external world. I find a quote by Euripides very relevant here. "No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow." So true. With acts of terrorism threatening us everywhere and everyday life getting more and challenging where 'normal people' have ceased to fear death, it's strange that we still find people arguing that 'death penalty' can be a fearful deterrent to criminals.

Bodine and Germain.com Crew Made Most of Martinsville Weekend

Bodine and Germain.com Crew Made Most of Martinsville Weekend
Mooresville, NC (04-04-2011) – Short track victories remain elusive for Germain Racing after another NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race weekend was completed at Martinsville Speedway. Todd Bodine qualified 15th in the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra and finished 14th, on the lead lap, with a Toyota that bore plenty of battle scars to tell the story of a rough and rugged day of half-mile racing.
"We had a good truck for Saturday's race, but we got into the back of the 5 at the beginning of the race. That contact put the splitter up in the air, messed up cambers and killed the downforce on our Germain.com Tundra. If things had gone the right way, we were a top-five truck," said Bodine, who finished 14th, on the lead lap, in the Kroger 250.
Bodine credits his team's work for his respectable result, despite the significant damage to his Toyota Tundra.
"Pit strategy. Pit stops. Hard work by everyone and at times we got lucky. Some times we had better tires than some of the guys. A little of everything went into our finish, but mostly team work from this number 30 Germain Racing team," said Bodine.
Crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. says the weekend wasn't a win, but, the team and driver efforts were second to none.
"The guys did a great job on pit road repairing the damage to make the truck the best it could be after being part of three cautions. Todd and the crew did the best they could do with the damage we had to work with. We can't be too proud of the finish, but, I'm proud of the hard work and never-give-up attitude of this team. We're ready to go to Nashville," said Hillman.
The highlight of the day for Hillman was watching Germain Racing's team performance.
"We had three of our four trucks in the top ten on Saturday. With the way Justin (Lofton) ran in practice and in qualifying, he was going to be good, too. It was awesome to watch our teammates race for the lead, lead laps and to see the strength of Germain Racing," said Hillman Jr.
Bodine enjoyed watching the youth of the Truck Series competing in the top positions.
"The kids we have in the Truck Series this year are good and they're going to be good all year. They grew up on short tracks, so I expected them to be tough on Saturday," said Bodine.
After three of 25 races, Bodine ranks eighth in the Truck Series points standings. Germain Racing and Todd Bodine fire up the No. 30 Tundra next at Nashville Superspeedway on April 22nd.

Marseille, France (Sports Network) - French star Richard Gasquet dropped his
opening-round match Tuesday at the $700,000 Open 13 tennis event.
Capable left-hander Gilles Muller of Luxembourg ousted the fifth-seeded
Gasquet in 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) fashion in just under two hours on the indoor
surface at Palais des Sports. Gasquet was a titlist in Montpellier, France two
weeks ago, but has now lost his last two matches, including a second-rounder
in Rotterdam last week.
Meanwhile, former world No. 3 Nikolay Davydenko got past Ukrainian Sergiy
Stakhovsky 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 and French crowd favorite Michael Llodra handled
promising Belgian David Goffin 6-2, 6-4. The 2010 champion and 2009 Marseille
runner-up Llodra was last year's runner-up here to Argentine slugger Juan
Martin del Potro.
Also on Tuesday, Indian Somdev Devvarman surprised Frenchman Benoit Paire 7-6
(8-6), 6-7 (7-9), 6-4, Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut overcame Serbian
qualifier Filip Krajinovic 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-0 and Latvian Ernests Gulbis
drubbed Finland's Jarkko Nieminen 6-3, 6-2.

No problem of that happening ever via RF, since you use the unique RID # to marry the remote, or device on remote to given receiver. Even if you wanted to control two receivers in RF mode at the exact same time, it couldn't be done.
Thanks Edmund for the reply..... IT WORKED!! IT WORKED!!!
I had actually used your recommended steps before.....but bone head that I am, I was pressing the "up" arrow button above the "select" instead of the "channel up".:eek2:

There are other portable pier makers besides Antares, but they will cost more than a CCGEM!!!

I use THIS on top of my CGEM Tripod and it works great.
I did replace the upper hex bolts with hand screws to make it easier to remove the mount from the pier.
Your post confirms my intention of using an Atlas extension for use on a CGEM. I emailed an Orion rep and he said that the Atlas extension would not work with a CGEM.
Anyway, it seems that the Atlas extension works pretty well on a CGEM mount and tripod. I'm planning of getting one. Thanks.

2. Pictures on the vendor sites always show the tripod extension upside down for some strange reason, so don't let that confuse you.
3. You will unscrew the alignment peg from the CGEM mount and screw it on the top of the extension instead. Which means there is nothing to keep the bottom of the extension from turning on the mount except friction. Some people on this site have complained about that happening when they accidentally bumped into the OTA. I put a strip of duct tape around the inside hole on the top of my CGEM mount to make the fit much tighter and increase the friction to the point where mine does not turn, no matter what I do to it.
4. It is a good idea to replace the 3 silver hex screws with longer bolts which you should be able to obtain from ACE harware. This is a good idea because to separate the telescope mount from the extension you will be removing these bolts every time you setup and takedown the mount. They are small and easy to drop in the dark. I would not even own this extension without the replacement bolts. I will include some pictures of the bolts in my next posting.

I bought mine at a hardware store and they were a little to long so I cut them down to 36mm and then attached a 2mm washer followed by an 18mm long metal sleeve using some glue. The washer and sleeve are necessary because you need to push the knob out away from the mount so it does not hit the mount. That leaves 16mm's of threaded area still exposed to attach the mount.
I think the M6-30mm at Scopestuff will probably be to short. Try an ACE hardware if you have one nearby. I found my bolts and sleeves at Elliot's hardware, but I think they are just a local chain. You can forget about Lowes and Home Depot they don't carry stuff like this in Metric sizes.
If you have never cut a bolt like this, you just need a hacksaw and a file. You have to file all the rough spots away and make a new starting groove on the bolt. Otherwise your bolt could destroy the aluminum threads on the mount. Best to get a 6mm nut and get it working with that first before you try to attach it to the mount.

I am also looking to buy a CGEM and pedestal mount with legs, preferably with caster wheels and levelling screws. Is there such a thing available these days? A pedestal for some other mount with an available adapter plate would do.
