Not What I expected
Tried this product for use on knots on my upper back and shoulders and have not had any luck the points side is to large to be effective and the large side is to rounded to use on a flat surface. I think a lacrosse ball would have work better.

As a young inventor, Spring Faussett started ordering parts online and putting them together. What came to be was this strange new "human rolling pin" that she called Tiger Tail, which was created in her garage using materials she found online and at Home Depot. The name, which comes from the colors of the product, reminded Faussett of a tiger and how a tiger's tail is straight, powerful and represented balance. Now, Tiger Tail is famously known worldwide as the orange and black muscle roller.
Faussett is neither a physical therapist nor a massage therapis, but rather an athlete who had a whole lot of pain from all the sports she chose to play. One year, after tearing her ACL, she opted to harvest her own hamstring to do the repair. Her therapists recommended a foam roller or a rolling pin to help reduce the pain and heal the scar tissue. Neither worked and she wondered what would happen if she crossed a rolling pin with a foam roller and the Tiger Tail was born. To this day, Tiger Tail is still Made in USA and each Tiger Tail goes through Faussett's original production process to ensure quality.

Commencement marshals connect to academic tradition
"Wow, this is what it's all about." –A sentiment echoed time and again when you speak to CU-Boulder's commencement marshals, employee volunteers who make the campus commencement ceremonies run smoothly.
"I've worked on the administration side of campus the entire time I've been here and volunteering to be a commencement marshal really brings home the amazing fact that I work at a university," said Erin Frazier, a coordinator in the Office of Community Relations. Frazier has volunteered for both the spring and winter commencement ceremonies for the past five years and is a relative newcomer among the cadre of experienced commencement marshals.
Representing that tier is Bill Eberle, lab coordinator in the department of chemistry and biochemistry. Eberle has volunteered as a commencement marshal for over 20 years and in his position of overseeing the senior chemistry teaching labs, he gets to know some of the soon-to-be-graduating students. "It's gratifying to see these students I've come to know participate in the graduation ceremony," he said.
An opportunity to join in on the pomp and circumstance is just part of the appeal, according to Director of Commencement Sarah Hallock Adderholt. "You are participating in an event where everyone is happy," she said. "It's really a celebratory atmosphere."
The fun atmosphere belies an immense amount of planning for each and every graduation ceremony. While many procedures and plans stay the same from year to year, the commencement marshals are relied on to adapt to each year's unique circumstances and provide a fun and respectful atmosphere for the ceremony itself. Roles in the campus ceremony are diverse, from helping pass out programs to friends and family in the stands, ushering the graduates to their seats, or to perhaps corralling the occasional beach ball. Hallock Adderholt said that one of her biggest challenges is fitting volunteers and their expertise into the event's plan. "I want our volunteer marshals to enjoy the event and for the talents they bring to be utilized," she said.
Planning is in full swing for CU's upcoming Spring Commencement on May 9, 2008. "Volunteer marshals are integral to the success of commencement and I encourage faculty and staff to participate as their schedules permit," said Chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson. "I hope our campus supervisors can facilitate employee interest." Those interested in joining the festivities should contact Sarah Hallock Adderholt via email by April 11.

Midnight Cinema Announces Self-Titled EP, 7/9 + FREE SONG
NEW YORK, NY (May 31, 2013) – If the names Clayton Stroope (Vocals), Drew Cribley (Guitar) and Paul Niedermier (Drums) sound familiar, it's because you've heard them before. The Bay Area band Midnight Cinema is a reincarnation of sorts of the Gold selling band Thriving Ivory and will release their self-titled debut EP on July 9, 2013.
All of the songs on the five-track EP cover the spectrum of the ins and outs of relationships, love and life (track listing below). And beginning today, you can get a free track "Hurricane" from their upcoming EP on Midnight Cinema's website.
After having huge success with Thriving Ivory and following their self-titled Wind-up Records debut album on June 24, 2008 - the album reached #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart on the strength of certified Gold single "Angels on the Moon," selling over 500,000 copies; they were also chosen by VH1 as a "You Oughta Know" artist, and their second studio album, Through Yourself & Back Again which was released on September 14, 2010.
Their relentless touring schedule took a toll on the band and while on the road in support of Through Yourself & Back Again, personal issues arose and founding member Scott Jason decided to part ways with the band. The remaining three band members continued with the tour. It was during a stop in New York when Clayton, Drew and Paul met with Gregg Wattenberg and Derek Fuhrmann for a writing session. Subsequent sessions followed; they felt they something special immediately starting to build and with this new burst of adrenaline and creativity, Midnight Cinema was born.
Midnight Cinema will make their debut with a special performance at Café Du Nord in San Francisco on July 23, 2013.

The Kansas House has approved operating rules that include a new provision making it more difficult for members to propose spending increases. Monday's vote was 76-45 to adopt to the rules. The provision says members won't be allowed to offer amendments during floor debate to increase spending in one part of the budget without offsetting it with proposed cuts elsewhere. Like the rest of the rules, it would be in effect for the 2011 and 2012 legislative sessions. Republican leaders back the change, and the GOP has a 92-33 majority. Supporters say the new budget rule will impose fiscal discipline. Critics say it gives too much power to the Appropriations Committee, because members won't be able to challenge its recommendations on overall state spending.

I have some PDFs that have embedded fonts, which won't display in Preview in OS X (as far as I know, due to a bug in Preview).
To fix this, I ran the PDF through
pdf2ps and then back through
ps2pdf, which fixed things in Preview, while still leaving the text intact (i.e. selectable). Adobe Reader shows the same embedded fonts as before in document properties (only this time it's a subset of the font).
However, one of my PDF has elements with opacities, which PostScript can't handle (it just rasterises the whole thing).
My question: Can I achieve the same effect (with regards to the fonts) as
ps2pdf but without converting to PostScript? Or just in a way that doesn't break when opacities are involved?

San Fernando Valley lies north of the City of Los Angeles.
Within this contained geographic area there are 17 public senior high
schools with an average student population of 3,500. These schools are under the direct supervision of Local Districts
A, B and C of the greater Los Angeles Unified School District.
Each of these schools have a minimum of 2-3 teachers providing instruction
in chemistry, honors chemistry and advanced placement chemistry.
It has been well publicized that Los Angeles Unified School District has a large number of emergency credentialed teachers currently filling math and science teaching positions. The majority of those individuals credentialed to teach chemistry actually hold biology degrees with a chemistry minor or a physical science waiver. While this satisfies the District requirements, few individuals teaching the courses are actual chemistry majors. This information should in no way imply that these teachers are unprepared or unable to teach chemistry at an appropriate level. They are, however, in serious need of a support system.
Traditionally, teachers have taught in relative isolation, with little time for collaboration. Providing standards-based education, developing benchmark assignments, investigating and experimenting with alternative assessment, researching and giving direct application and providing hands-on experience to students of chemistry is no small task today. Even with the newly allocated time for collaboration given to secondary schools it is generally limited to the school site or the Local District. While this will greatly enhance interdisciplinary and cross content collaboration, it does not necessarily address the direct specialized needs of a chemistry teacher due to the very limited number of colleagues teaching the same content to a similar audience. The ability to access information, collaborate and communicate with teachers outside individual facilities becomes increasingly necessary to allow for contact with a larger knowledge and experience base.
The addition of technology into the classroom provides new challenges in
instruction as well as new opportunities for collaboration. While
some teachers view this as a new and creative way to present traditionally
challenging abstract concepts to our students as well as to provide an open
forum for professional communication, others avoid it due to inexperience
and inability to observe applications both in and out of the classroom. Independently,
teachers are constantly "reinventing the wheel." Given
the opportunity and the forum for chemistry teachers within a geographic area to
interact both in person and via the internet would satisfy many of the needs of
both new and experienced teachers.
This would additionally allow them the needed direct contact and sharing of information with
a strong ability to follow up and continue collaboration through the use of the
This would additionally allow them the needed direct contact and sharing of information with a strong ability to follow up and continue collaboration through the use of the internet.
On a broader level there is a need for opportunities for professional growth as
described in the National Science Education Standards (NRS, 1996) which
emphasize that "coherent and integrated programs" supporting
"lifelong professional development" of science teachers are essential
for significant reform. "The conventional view of professional
development for teachers needs to shift from technical training for specific
skills to opportunities for intellectual professional growth."
Furthermore, the Glenn Commission's Blueprint to Improve Math and Science Teaching in 21st Century report, entitled Before It's Too Late describes a need for the establishment of local professional Inquiry groups (Goal 1:3) and states: "We are of one mind in our belief that the way to interest children in mathematics and science is through teachrs who are not only enthusiastic about their subjects, but who are also steeped in their disciplines and who have the professional training--as teachers--to teach those subjects well. Nor is this teacher training simple a matter of preparation; it depends just as much--or even more--on sustained, high-quality professional development."
PURPOSE: To provide
immediate networking and best practice sharing between the chemistry instructors
within the San Fernando Valley and adjacent areas to promote and encourage
teacher driven professional staff developement.
The proposed
support group environment will also extend past the monthly meetings held at
varying locations for sharing purposes to an interactive website and a high
school chemistry teacher LISTSERV. The
prototype of the website currently under development may be viewed temporarily
at: http://www.jozie.net/JF/HS_Chem.
(As of 1/30/02 at http://www.csun.edu/chemteach)
The website will allow individuals to join the existing database online
which will generate both email and LAUSD approved school mail notifications of
meetings and announcements. At this
site teachers can post their needs and concerns, share and trade equipment and
technology, locate training and continuing education opportunities, view local
job openings, past and future meeting agendas and scheduled events, download
handouts from meetings, and access professional organizations online.
This support group to be sponsored jointly by the California State University, Northridge Chemistry Department and the School of Education, in cooperation with Los Angeles Unified School District Local Districts A, B and C, the input and assistance by the Chemistry Departments of the following Los Angeles Community Colleges: Los Angeles Mission College, Los Angeles Valley College and Los Angeles Pierce College. Acknowledgement and resources may also be provided through the Southern California Section of the American Chemical Society and the California Association of Chemistry Teachers. In addition, future funding for this project shall be sought from the National Science Teachers Association, the National Science Foundation and other funding sources currently under investigation.
The support will take
the form of but not limited to meetings, workshops, special presentations,
lectures and lecture series, laboratories, and demonstrations presented by
college and university faculty, high school teachers, guests and individuals
from industry and business. Support
will also be provided through the donation of web space for the purpose of
hosting the Support Group Website and a High School Chemistry LISTSERV.
Interactions will be directed toward standards-based education and the
content and mode driven by the group themselves through suggestion and
Monthly meetings and gatherings will be held at varying locations throughout the
San Fernando Valley such as District Offices, CSUN, Community Colleges, local
high schools, etc. depending the appropriateness of the facilities for the
activity and availability.
In addition, special presentations, workshops or lecture series not able
to be scheduled around the monthly meeting dates will occur intermittently
depending on the availability of the instructor, presenter and/or facility.

Gameplay video capture of PS3
Just a quick poll:
Have any of our illustrious PS3-playing TOGgers recorded their gameplay by a method other than pointing a video camera at the TV?
How'd you manage it, and how much did it cost you to kit out?
..and was it in HD?
|6th April 2010, 10:02 PM
|#3 (permalink)
Afaik, PS3 HDMI out is encrypted. If you're going to record HD, it has to be component.
At least that what I've gleaned from googling dozens of vague "you could try..." references on endless forums.
Which is why I thought I'd ask the opinions of members of a forum whose input I value.
I *have* a DVR, but it's only SD. I know I can play and record my gameplay... IF I play in SD. I've done it with Burnout, but trying to play in SD sucks big hairy dog balls after playing so long in HD.

Not true. It uses component cables (opposed composite) - which is fine, the PS3 still pumps out 1080i over component. I picked up a PS3 Component cable half price in EB's last round of clearance sales.
As I mentioned before, PS3 HDMI is encrypted, so you can't record the digital signal cheaply.
I got it direct from the manufacturer's website and had it shipped - their distro is in Singapore.
$199USD plus $51 courier. That works out to about $280AUD. which is quite reasonable when you consider Hauppauge's own Aussie distributor is charging $419AUD plus postage.
The HDD is as big as you have sitting around in a USB drive... which, in my case, is 1Tb.
AFAIK, it's a USB2.0 box that plugs into a PC.

<rubs hands together and grins like an excited schoolboy>
It's here! That was bloody quick.
I just had it delivered to my desk at work.
The back of the box says:
"What can HD PVR do
HD PVR can record high definition or regular TV from your satellite or cable receiver onto a PC disk drive in a compressed H.264 format. Once TV programs are recorded, you can play them back onto your PC screen or burn them on a DVD disk for playback on a Blu-ray DVD player.
H.264 format is used by Blu-ray disks and exceeds other compression standards in quality and disk space consumption, providing a crisp image and amazing digital sound. H.264 use 1/3 of disk space compare to the popular MPEG-2 format.
Make your own movie library: Once TV programs are recorded onto the PC, you can play them back on your PC screen or transfer them to a DVD or Blu-ray disk for playback on a Blu-ray DVD player. You can also play them on a Sony PlayStation 3 or a Microsoft Xbox 360.
Record your video games in HD. HD PVR can connect to your Playstation 3 or Xbox 360, so you can make recordings of your highest scoring games.
Amazing Quality
HD PVR records videos using H.264 compression with digital audio at HD resolutions up to 1080i. Watch the recordings on your PC screen or HD TV set in full HD!
Use HD PVR with your Set Top Box
Connect your satellite or cable TV receiver box and schedule TV or HDTV recordings. With the IR blaster, HD PVR can turn the set top box on, change the channel and record the selected program.
WinTV-Scheduler provides then an easy way to schedule these recordings from your PC. Find your favorite movie, sports event or show, schedule it and let HD PVR take over!"
Can't wait to get it home and try it out.
Only thing is, I'll have to wait until my component-to-DVI cable arrives from Uncle eBay to watch the live output at my desk. :/
edit: No, wait! I can use my laptop with "the big TV" until it gets here! Yippee!

Nokia N78 now available, only in Finland
Both the Cocoa Brown and Pearl White versions of the Nokia N78 are available now in Finland courtesy of an online store called Verkkokauppa.com. According to the site, they received more than 25 pieces of the Nokia N78 last Friday, of which 17 have already been ordered.
"Vapaana 10 kpl." gives us "Vacancies 10 pcs. " via Google's machine translation, and we take that as notice that there are only 10 units left in stock. Although if you do the math, that doesn't quite fit with the earlier statement saying out of 25, 17 have been ordered (25 – 17 = 8). But hey…
The price of one Nokia N78 without a sim card is 448 euros, which includes a 1 year subscription to Nokia Maps Navigation for the Nordic region. It's not as affordable as most people would want it to be, but at least it's not as expensive as some of Nokia's other recent smart phones.
We're not sure when but we think the Nokia N78 will also be rolled out to other countries some time in the near future.

We invite you to explore our website. Better yet, why don't you call or e-mail our minister or come in person and check us out. Whether you are considering a first 'trial' visit to a church or you are a long time or occasional 'church goer', we welcome you and hope you find a church home with us. Our Sunday service is at 11:00 a.m. all year round.
About Us
We are an Affirming congregation of the United Church of Canada in the downtown area of Peterborough, on the site where our first church was built in 1835. Despite its location and its long history, our congregation draws its membership from throughout the city and the region, and we are eager to invite those of all ages and from all walks of life to join our Christian family. Building on its rock solid tradition and in a sanctuary that is inspirational, St. Andrew's has wonderful music, strong preaching, a welcoming environment, and a membership that is community active.
We like to think that our members are pretty good people. We're not all the same. Our beliefs are not all identical. We do share a belief that without faith, life is incomplete. Our church nurtures our individual and personal faiths.
Mission Statement
The people of St Andrew's are called to live the message of Jesus: to love God, to love ourselves and to love others.
Vision Statement
St Andrew's provides a welcoming and friendly place for all those who choose to make it their spiritual home. In its inspirational sanctuary or wherever St Andrew's people gather, there is the opportunity to hear God's message, to give thanks, to worship, to meditate, to examine the nature and meaning of one's faith, to seek or give comfort, and to meet the varied spiritual needs of those who participate. In this way we express our love for God.
St Andrew's is a place for sharing a common bond as people of the United Church with all the diversity that this denomination represents. It is a safe, accepting and supportive place offering many rewarding experiences; where contributing time, talent and resources is done willingly; where all people are valued; where music and laughter and friendship and working together enrich lives;where young and old appreciate that the earth is God's gift to us, and that loving and respecting it is our gift back to God. It is a place where children and young people are encouraged to participate in our service, to be aware of the call to help others, to enjoy the fun and companionship of working together for a common goal.
St Andrew's is a place where visitors might drop in for a service or a special event and conclude that this is a church they could be part of – welcoming, alive and forward-thinking. By loving and strengthening ourselves we are better able to love others and to love God.
The people of St. Andrew's know that loving others means that all God's children deserve to be loved. In responding to Christ's message, our congregation chooses to focus on meeting the many needs in our community and beyond, and to continuing to build and strengthen our relationship with those who face injustice or discrimination because of their abilities, age, colour, economic circumstances, gender, gender identity, race or sexual orientation.
In this way we can begin to fulfill our promise to love others as ourselves.

Microsoft to shut down MSN TV service
Will let users keep novelty set top box
SOFTWARE HOUSE Microsoft has decided to close its largely forgotten internet television service MSN TV on 30 September.
Microsoft bought Web TV at the height of the dotcom bubble and tried to use it as a way to deliver television and internet connectivity to users through an expensive set top box. The firm announced that it will finally discontinue the subscription service, noting that there are many other ways of accessing the internet rather than through a set top box.
Back in the late 1990s, Microsoft harboured ambitions of getting into television, perhaps most notably through its partnership with NBC to set up MSNBC. However the firm's dreams never really materialised into anything truly profitable and it is clear that MSN TV's set top box doesn't fit in well with Microsoft's next bid to become a big player in entertainment, the Xbox One.
Microsoft said in a statement that its decision was based on the fact that users can connect to the internet in many different ways. The firm said, "WebTV (later called MSN TV) started in 1996 with the goal to bring new people 'online' and to give those already online an easy, hassle-free means of accessing the internet from the comfort of their homes. Later, MSN TV 2 was released with vastly greater power and features.
"Since then, the web has continued to evolve at a breathtaking pace, and there are many new ways to access the internet. Accordingly, we have made the difficult decision to end the MSN TV service on 30 September 2013."
Microsoft said users can export data to its Outlook and Skydrive services but added that users can keep their set top boxes, which is nice since many paid more than $200 for the chance to fork over up to $20 a month to Microsoft. The firm said it will continue to offer the MSN dial-up internet service for free until the end of the year. µ

Product Description
Whether splashing around or floating along, your pool provides hours of enjoyment for your family and friends. However, it is also a potentially precarious place for children and pets. Accidental drowning is the leading cause of death in children under age five and the second leading cause of death in children under age 14.
Protect against the unexpected - with PoolSonix, the industry's only solar-powered, dual technology wireless pool alarm. Comprehensive pool safety starts with active adult supervision that is reinforced with supplemental layers of protection. Pool fencing, pool covers, pool alarms, gate and door alarms are all critical layers that help to enhance the safety and security of your swimming pool. When a child or pet unknowingly gains access to an unsupervised pool area, it only takes a moment for tragedy to strike. In many cases, a child or pet falling into the water is an almost silent event. PoolSonix is specifically designed to detect the near silent wave activity associated with accidental pool entry. Within seconds of detecting the signature wave action, PoolSonix sounds an ear piercing alarm at the pool and inside your home, alerting a responsible adult to immediately take action.
Is it UL approved?
Hi Ken, The PoolSonix Pool Alarm is not UL listed. It does meets the ASTM standards.

My Divorce Cake—Too Sweet By Half
As a pastry chef I found happiness by dishing it up—until the divorce cake.
"Ours is the only profession that exists just to make people happy." How many times did I hear those words during my midlife adventure at the French Culinary Institute? Almost as often as I heard, "More butter, more salt."
I avidly embraced the upbeat ethos. By nature I'm a happiness-monger, and my career as a novelist had suffered from too many redemptive endings: wives embracing their husbands' mistresses, villains turning saintly. But even lovers of bitter literary truth swoon over my hazelnut semifreddo: chilled vanilla meringue with toffee crunch and dense chocolate streaks. As a pastry chef, private chef, and caterer, I found happiness by dishing it up—each meal a story building to a happy ending.
Until the divorce cake.
The ad in the French Culinary Institute job bulletin read: I'm having a divorce party to celebrate my independence. I want it to look wonderful…want funky out of this world…not an average looking cake…$100.
Immediately I replied: I hope your new independent life brings you joy & fulfillment. Please let me make the cake to celebrate your great spirit…I want you to be happy & I want the cake to help.
While waiting for Marina (not her name) to answer, I hit Google. I vaguely remembered an Internet flurry of snarky divorce cakes. Was this what my putative client had in mind?
Yikes. Forget snarky. Hello, hateful.
Bride pushing groom off the cake. Bride topper with smoking gun; groom supine on the plate in a puddle of blood-red icing. Marzipan male genitals awaiting the celebrant's knife.
Call me sentimental. These cakes made my stomach hurt. It's not just that I wish my ex-husbands well. And that I don't relate to the vengeful-victim model of womanhood. It's about the chef's oath of office. Could such cakes deliver happiness?
I half hoped Marina wouldn't call.
She called. She said she liked music and partying. The cake would be served in a nightclub. Her favorite colors were red and purple.
She sounded young—younger than the daughter whose wedding cake I joyfully made five years ago. I heard determination and a lilt. I wanted everything good for her. An idea blossomed.
"It's cherry berry season. There's your red and purple. I'll knock out a sample and send you a picture."
Two decades ago I bought a semi-circular cake pan for my daughter and son's half-birthdays. Halfty birthdays were a big small deal in our family: paper plates and napkins cut in two, glasses half-filled with milk, an agreeable absence of gifts and candles. Might this pan yield a cake to celebrate life post-divorce?
"You don't want it to look as though she's only half of something now," said my daughter, when I sought my kids' okay to use the cherished object.
"Half but complete!" I said. "Isn't that the point?"
I could see it now. A deeply vanilla semi-circle slathered in confectioner's icing flavored and stained with red wine. Instead of guns or daggers on tops, heaps of ripe fruit, glazed to ruby and amethyst brilliance, promising Marina fresh passion post-divorce.
While the cake cooled on my kitchen counter, I foraged for the shapeliest, juiciest strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cherries, plus a precious pint of local red currants—to offset the sugar with a half note of regret.
I was spending too much for a sample; never mind. The fruit-mongers were happy, I was happy, Marina would be amazingly happy.
I glazed the currants. Reduced some leftover Bordeaux to a smudge, whisked in confectioner's sugar, heated it to pouring consistency. I iced the cake, smoothing it with an off-angle spatula dipped into the currant syrup.
I glazed the berries and went wild with them. Heart-shape strawberries first. Mysterious blackberries here and there. Shiny cherries filled the interstices. Then I carefully piled on the fragile raspberries and currants. I happened to have edible purple pansies in the refrigerator, bought last week because you never know; I refreshed them, dried them, and scattered them over the effulgence.
My darling Ricardo said, wow!, he'd never seen such a cake. Marina had to love it. I emailed her two images.
Ricardo and I stared at the cake all afternoon.
Should we have a party? Give it to the film crew up the block.
I emailed an image to a friend who admires my way with fruit. "Interesting," she wrote. "Looks bloody. Is that what you meant? Sorry, can't come, reflexology appointment."
Bloody? Stupid camera.
Next day, still no word from Marina.
"We have to eat it before the fruit mildews," I told Ricardo. "Doesn't mean we'll split up. It can be our bedding cake. The antioxidants!"
By the time we cut into it, the glaze had dribbled down and soaked the bottom. Add custard and whipped cream, and you'd have a divine trifle. But complete unto itself. Breaking up never left a better taste in the mouth.
Marina—thanks for making Ricardo and me happy. I hope whoever creates your divorce cake returns the favor.

The patient (or parent/care giver) should be instructed to seek medical advice whenever nausea, vomiting, persistent headache, insomnia or rapid heart beat occurs during treatment with theophylline, even if another cause is suspected. The patient should be instructed to contact their clinician if they develop a new illness, especially if accompanied by a persistent fever, if they experience worsening of a chronic illness, if they start or stop smoking cigarettes or marijuana, or if another clinician adds a new medication or discontinues a previously prescribed medication. Patients should be instructed to inform all clinicians involved in their care that they are taking theophylline, especially when a medication is being added or deleted from their treatment. Patients should be instructed to not alter the dose, timing of the dose, or frequency of administration without first consulting their clinician.

Pregnancy Symptoms
In this article
Other Early Symptoms of Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings changes in your hormonal balance. And that can cause other symptoms..
- Frequent urination. For many women, this starts around the sixth or eighth week after conception. Although this could be caused by a urinary tract infection, diabetes, or overusing diuretics, if you're pregnant, it's most likely due to hormonal levels.
- Constipation. During pregnancy, higher levels of the hormone progesterone can make you constipated. Progesterone causes food to pass more slowly through your intestines. To ease the problem, drink plenty of water, exercise, and eat plenty of high-fiber foods.
- Mood swings. These are common, especially during the first trimester. These are also related to changes in hormones.
- Headaches and back pain. Many pregnant women report frequent mild headaches, and others experience chronic back pain.
- Dizziness and fainting. These may be related to dilating blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and lower blood sugar.
A pregnant woman could have all of these symptoms, or maybe have only one or two. If any of these symptoms become bothersome, talk with your doctor about them so you can make a plan to offset them.

As you may know, where there is a demand for surplus rifles, there is a demand for surplus magazines. Unfortunately, as supporters of the platform are well aware, the demand for surplus FAL magazines is nearly impossible to fulfill. New production magazines that actually work seem to be few and far between as well. Luckily, we here at Keepshooting.com are here to rescue the masses from this dry, dry market with our new FAL magazine.
Manufactured from premium raw materials in a production facility that holds several foreign military contracts, the Keepshooting.com FAL magazine is designed to hold and feed 20 round of 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition to your FN FAL and its many metric variants. And unlike some of the other new FAL magazines on the market, ours actually work – so much so that we are offering a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.
The Keepshooting.com FAL magazine is now available in our web store. Grab one today for just $24.95.
More often than not, original, factory-produced magazines are better suited for firearms than are aftermarket magazines. As such, it is beneficial to seek out these original, factory-produced magazines, as they are manufactured by the same company and to the exact specifications and tolerances as those that ship with the firearms for which they are designed. Additionally, they are manufactured using the same materials, a provision which ensures both proper fit and function in your firearm. However, finding original factory-produced magazines for surplus firearms like the FN FAL and its many variants can sometimes prove both difficult and expensive. But when the alternative is a Keepshooting.com brand magazine, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Each Keepshooting.com magazine, including our brand new FAL magazine, begins with a guarantee. Our goal prior to production is the manufacture of a magazine that is not only 100 percent functional, but also 100 percent reliable – a goal that took several years to reach with this particular magazine. As such, we guarantee the function and reliability of all of our house-brand magazines 100 percent. If for any reason you are unsatisfied with the performance of your magazine, it can be returned for a refund of the purchase price provided it is free from modification, damage and visible signs of usage or wear.
How can we offer such a guarantee? Prior to release, a random sampling of every magazine we produce is rigorously field tested to ensure proper fitting, feeding and ejection. Not to mention, our magazines are manufactured using premium raw materials alongside modern manufacturing technologies. If this sounds expensive, that is because it is. But due to the number of magazines we have made, our prices are driven down and in turn passed on to you.
As noted, the FAL magazine is a detachable box magazine that boasts a familiar design based on the original military FN FAL magazine. As such, these magazines are guaranteed to fit and function reliably in any FN FAL, Century Arms FAL, DS Arms SA58 or any other FAL designed to accept metric magazine, including several L1A1 variants. The body of the magazine, which is designed to hold and feed 20 rounds of 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition to your rifle, is constructed from hardened steel that has been fully heat treated. It also boasts a black Teflon®-based finish for enhanced protection against rust and corrosion. Additionally, both the steel spring and follower are precision manufactured to provide for reliable feeds on a consistent basis.
Pick up a FAL magazine today for only $24.95 – you will be glad that you did.

The Cravings..... Oh the Cravings.....
Thursday, April 24, 2014
Yesterday was pretty rough. A new doughnut shop opened right across the parking lot from where I work. Everyone went to get them and was talking about it all day. To add to how bad that sucked my boss bought everyone pizza for lunch as a Thank You..... I don't know if I can describe how easy it was for me to turn this stuff down and at the same time how nothing I ate was at all fulfilling all day long!
And turning all that good stuff down is fine and well until I started thinking about all the things I am missing. I WANT A GRILL CHEESE DANG IT!
Its so funny how I can be just fine for 22 days and day 23 it all goes to pot. SOOOO FRUSTRATING!
I mean its not like I ate anything I shouldn't. I stuck to my guns. But I hated everything I put in my mouth because it wasn't what I wanted to eat.
Today is like whatever. I still don't really want anything that I'm eating. But today on the way to work I thought about being out boating this summer and I though ya know what self I want to look good! And its getting me through. Today I understand the idea of wanting skinny more than food. :)
The other thing that has really been weighing on me is how do I keep losing without giving up everything all the time? And I think I know the answer but I'm not really sure how its going to work out.... There is this blog I love to read. Its called "Can you stay for dinner". Darling girl, around my age who lost 100 pounds several years ago and has kept it off. She is darling and so wonderful. Anyway, she has this great thing that shows what calories look like.
And everyday she eats a salad and then like meat and veggies for dinner. And I just thought you know she is moderate and still eats treats, not everyday, but that seems doable. So I think once my 30 days are up (6 days left!) I'm going to make this my goal. Salad for lunch and meat and veggies for dinner.
And you know on the day where there is donuts and pizza I'll pick one or the other and eat my salad.
Oh and since this post just keeps going on and on I might as well add that my goal is to be in "ONE"derland by then end of the summer! I want to be out of the 200# mark by August 31st! Which is 21.5 pounds. I feel like that is so reasonable but also such a challenge. How to keep losing without cutting everything out. #exercise?
So there you have it. Cravings suck! Lifestyle changes are key. And my goal is set.
Best of Luck to you on your journey!

Yes, those cravings are so hard especially when we can't control them like at work--I hear ya on the work situation/donuts because just yesterday someone brought donuts into the workroom for everyone to enjoy. So tempting especially when it's free!
I had one, but definitely put it in my spark tracker to keep within my calorie total for the day.

Kenya Moore has spoken out about the reported fight that she got into with Porsha Stewart at the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion filming on Thursday, March 27.
Early the day after the reunion filming, on Friday, March 28, Kenya tweeted that she would never fight Porsha or anyone else for that matter.
"#teamtwirl one thing u will NEVER see me do is fight. Your brain and tongue are your most powerful weapons," she wrote.
The day of the reunion, Radar Online reported that Porsha actually beat up Kenya at the reunion. Porsha was furious that Kenya brought sex toys to the reunion to tease her about ex Kordell Stewart's sexuality.
"Porsha beat the sh*t out of her! She is a little thing and she jumped on her and pulled her down to the ground by her hair, and Kenya doesn't have a weave, it is all her own hair," said a source, who added the security had to break up the fight and escort her off the stage.
Radar is now reporting that Porsha may now be on the chopping block because of what she did.
Some people took Kenya's tweet to mean that the story is fake while others took it to mean that she simply chose not to fight back.
One person who is definitely on Porsha's side when it comes to her fight with Kenya, whether verbal or physical, is NeNe Leakes. Viewers of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" have seen how the two have sparred all season long. After the reunion filming, NeNe posted a tweet showing her love for Porsha.
"Love u @Porsha4real," she wrote.
Porsha herself isn't responding to the whole scandal, choosing instead to promote her hair extensions line on her Twitter and Instagram accounts. Apparently, she wants to keep everyone guessing.
Do you think Porsha Stewart would really beat up Kenya Moore?

Associated Press
One of the common developments in "the olden' days" of five years ago and earlier was the concept that American workers typically had the ability to be mobile — to move from one geographic area to another, from one state or city to another — in order to fill an open employment position. What helped in previous years was the fact that one could likely sell their home for more than they paid for it and/or a new employer would provide a reasonable relocation package to assist one's effort to move.
That was then — this is now
The movement of Americans is at its lowest level since World War II (The Associated Press). Weak housing markets of the past 4-5 years now find millions of people buried in their homes, with no chance of selling at a profit. Note that roughly one out of every four homeowners across the nations is "underwater" on their home; they owe more on their mortgage than the home is worth.
In addition, pressures on profitability have found fewer companies willing to provide attractive relocation packages. Even fewer employers are willing to take a hit on the prospective new employee's current residence.
More young people who have recently graduated from college continue to live at home or move back in, given currently limited employment opportunities for younger workers. More and more stay in the communities where they went to school.
Manufacturing pressure
This has profound implications for the American economy, with perhaps the greatest impact on manufacturing firms around the nation. A recent survey conducted by Deloitte & TouchÉ and The Manufacturing Institute noted that American manufacturers cannot fill 600,000 skilled positions, or 5 percent of all current manufacturing jobs (NADCA). Such a number works out to an average of 12,000 open and available manufacturing jobs per state. Such a number also keeps the nation's unemployment rate higher when compared to prior economic expansions.
The survey showed that 67 percent of manufacturers have a moderate to severe shortage of available, qualified employees, noted a Deloitte & TouchÉ spokesperson. The survey also noted that 64 percent of manufacturing executives lament the lack of skilled workers, which is making it more difficult to expand their operations or boost productivity.
One reason is the fact that many older skilled workers took early retirement in recent years and don't want to move to fill a position. The other factor is that noted above —they simply can't get away from the house that binds.
Retirement pressure
The lack of mobility has also had a major impact upon traditional retirement locales such as Arizona, Florida and Nevada. If people can't sell their homes in colder climates following retirement, they can't easily move to warmer destinations.
This reality has contributed to the real estate busts or painful price corrections in one retirement community after another in Phoenix, in Tucson, in San Diego, in Las Vegas, in Miami, in Naples, etc., over the past four years. It has not been unusual to see initial home or condominium prices down 40, 50 or 60 percent and sometimes even more in these communities.
The old mindset for a retirement community developer was "if you build it, they will come." The mobility issue rendered that view flawed in recent years.
Reference is frequently made to the BRIC nations — Brazil, Russia, India and China — four nations with considerable geographic size, large populations and enormous economic potential. The past few years have seen China garner most of the attention, as that nation of 1.3 billion people just surpassed Japan as the world's second largest economy.

Joy in the Journey
October 23, 2013
by Linda Beerman
Forgiveness. Making amends. Such an important step to take, but sometimes it seems impossible. It usually demands a lot from us. However, like most of the growing we do spiritually, we receive back more than we give.
We will not always be welcomed with open arms when we come to ask someone to forgive us, but our job is only to take the first step. We may not be rewarded with a restored relationship, but the peace that comes from saying "we are sorry...or that we blew it...or I harmed you", will be worth any pain we have to endure during this time. Our job is just to atone for our wrong doing, not to anticipate how others will respond. Making up for something we've done wrong or neglected on our part, will bring inner strength to us, even if the process has no effect on others.
Last week I found myself in this position. I had completely forgotten about something I was supposed to take care of. My fault, absolutely. It caused worry and stress on another person, which snowballed into involving others in the process. I felt terrible about it when it was brought to my attention. I could not reverse what had happened, but I certainly could go to the source of the hurt and ask for forgiveness for my neglect in the matter. Which I did. I also wrote a note to again show how sorry I was. Fortunately for me, I was met with understanding. They did not tell me it was O.K.....and they shouldn't, because it wasn't. They expressed their concern in the situation, and how it had caused fear and anxiety. I totally understood that, as I would have felt the same way.
Most of us have learned about asking for pardon from our parents, church, or even in school. It has its roots in the Bible, where we know we are powerless, but God is powerful to grant the mercy and reprieve that we need to move forward after causing hurt to someone else. Some of the verses that come to mind actually start in the Old Testament. Some examples are:
Leviticus 5:5 " When any one is guilty....he must confess in what way he has sinned..."
II Chronicles 7:14 " if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
And from the New Testament:
Luke 6:31 " Do unto others as you would have them do to you."
Acts 8: 22-23 " Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin."
God is a God of second chances. What a humbling lesson for us. Asking for forgiveness....or granting it to someone who has wronged us. Recycling our failures, using them for good, what a great idea! Those failures often times are some of our greatest teachers. Offering others and ourselves a way out, to begin again; A second chance from someone is such a gift.
Being angry with someone over an act that has occurred, having malice in an unforgiven and bitter heart, and just plain being stubborn about either repenting or granting forgiveness, will just fester and cause worse problems in the future. Oh, that we would strive to be peacemakers in any situation which is humanly possible.

Justin Bieber's DUI arrest earlier this week tainted his seemingly choirboy image as photos of his "smug shot" popped up on the Web. The 19-year-old "Baby" singer was hauled off to jail by Miami police for driving while intoxicated and drag racing on a Miami Beach street.
According to the police report, Bieber was also driving with an expired license and resisting arrest. His bail was set at $2500, which he paid and waved to fans as he left the police station. As Daily Mail reports (Jan. 25), Bieber fled to Punta Chame, Panama to apparently take a break from all the frenzy of his recent troubles.
New pictures of the young Canadian pop star in Panama surfaced on Twitter Saturday, posted by one of Justin Bieber's fan accounts. In one of the photos posted by @JBCrewdotcom, Bieber is spotted in the company of 21-year-old Miami model Chantel Jeffries sunbathing on the beach. Another set of photos shows Bieber with friends and a bodyguard walking along the beach.
Bieber and a blonde companion (likely Jeffries) reportedly left Bieber's Miami mansion Friday night to head off to Central America. Photos of the two arriving at the airport in Panama were also leaked, likely taken early Saturday morning. "Just arrived in Hartford. Slight delay leaving panama due to justin Bieber arriving by surprise. Paparazzi, JB is hiding out in Panama!!," according to a tweet from user @RobertMenegoni at 4:45 AM EST Saturday.

My Thoughts
Brilliant…simply brilliant! I have not been this thoroughly entertained for some time with a movie! The actors were wonderful, the music rocked and the whole package was just PERFECT! I even cried at the end, because I am a sucker for romance no matter what movie it is a part of. Pitch Perfect kept my attention all the way through, kept me singing along and twice even dancing in my seat. My oldest daughter watched it with us and she liked it so much that after the movie was done and we went every single bonus feature (another rarity with our movies) she bought the soundtrack. When I asked her what her favorite part of the movie was she said it was when Anna Kendrick did the "Cup Song", and I agreed that it was a favorite of mine as well. Anna has a beautiful voice and the way she did this song was amazing, both my daughter and I actually clapped when she was done as if we were seeing her do it live. My daughter has also watched her video on YouTube to learn the song, she has the cup part down perfect but is always shy when it comes to singing. I loved that she learned it and wanted to show my husband and I that she could do it. She has even been trying to teach it to her younger sister.
Pitch Perfect will be a movie we watch over and over again and I am happy that we have it in our Blu-ray collection! We absolutely loved this movie!!! If you get it you must watch the Bonus Features, they are funny!

College Hockey:Frozen Four Preview: Minnesota
Don Lucia has trouble coming up with high points from a season in which his Minnesota Golden Gophers are 30-8-4, got a first-round bye in the NCAA tournament and have advanced to the Frozen Four.
But that's just fine to the Minnesota coach. He hasn't found any low points, either.
One of the things Lucia has always stressed with his teams is playing on an even keel. This year's Gophers might have found the key to that, and used that as their means of success.
With that, they find themselves in the Frozen Four, just a few miles from their campus. They play Michigan in a semifinal Thursday night at 6:35 Central at the Xcel Energy Center.
The Gophers had one big goal for this season: earn an NCAA first-round bye. That allowed them to keep their focus on that, not on the race for the top in the WCHA, not for the league's playoff chase.
Lucia observed that it was probably better for his team to have been out of the WCHA's regular-season title chase early — Denver and St. Cloud State were the only contenders standing by late January. Last season, the Gophers were contending for the regular-season title until the last weekend, then had a bad series against St. Cloud State permanently derail them.
Not having that pressure helped them keep their eyes trained on the long-term goal. And it helped them stay on the middle ground — Lucia's fast track to success.
"There really hasn't been any real high points or low points — we've just kept coming and coming and coming," Lucia said. "Our No. 1 goal this year was to get a bye, so we never lost sight of that fact. We were able to just keep playing and playing.
"Nothing hurt us mentally, being so close to winning something and then having it ripped from you. That happened to us a little bit the year before, being in that chase and losing in the last weekend. Maybe we didn't recover."
The Gophers haven't had to do much recovering this season. They have never followed a loss with another loss. Only one short span on their schedule stands out as a down point: ties against Michigan State and St. Cloud State sandwiched around a loss to the Huskies late in November and early in December.
Still, they rebounded by splitting a series at Denver just before the holiday break. Aside from a few bumps (an 8-3 loss to Wisconsin and a loss at Minnesota-Duluth), the second half was just as smooth for the Gophers.
That's one of the reasons they can be confident. But Lucia wants to make sure his team doesn't get blinded by the Frozen Four lights.
He took Colorado College teams to this point twice, so he knows what to expect. He's told his players, who have never played in a Frozen Four, not to change a thing.
Lucia took a cue from his former team, and wants that to be a model for the Gophers. He watched Colorado College beat Michigan State in the first round last weekend, and was struck by how the Tigers, whom he coached from 1993 to 1999, were aggressive from the drop of the puck, got the lead and kept going at the Spartans.
"The big thing we're trying to get across to them is to make sure we're playing on our toes," Lucia said. "I don't want to go in there with guys on their heels and playing tentative. I just think if you're going to go down, you want to go down swinging, not looking at the third strike. We really want to be aggressive and play that way.
"We're not going to change our style now. The big thing is, we don't want to have any regrets. I just want them to play the best game they're capable of playing, and you live with the results."
The results against Michigan this season were favorable for the Gophers, but that was a long time ago. Jeff Taffe scored his first career hat trick in a 5-2 victory over the Wolverines on Nov. 23.
That outcome will probably have no impact on Thursday's game, if not because it was more than three months ago, then because each of the teams has grown since then. Michigan matured into a CCHA double champion, and Minnesota into a calm, composed, confident team.
Michigan, though, is a repeat guest at the Frozen Four, so it knows what to expect. Lucia is sure there will be some nervousness from his team.
"I look back to myself as a player, and I think you play your best when you're a little bit nervous and have that fear factor in you," he said. "I know our team. It seems when our backs are to the wall and when they're a little bit nervous, fearful, that we seem to play our best."
That was probably the case in the Gophers' NCAA quarterfinal victory over Colorado College. The Tigers scored the first goal on a deflection off Minnesota's Keith Ballard.
But Minnesota rallied from that point, as it has done so many times this season. Its opponents have scored first 24 times this season, but Minnesota has won 14 of those games.
"Unfortunately, we've given up the first goal in a lot of games this year," Lucia said. "The fortunate part is we've come back to win a lot of those. All the times we have been able to come back, we've developed a little bit more mental toughness. You give up that fluky goal and that could set your team back, but I don't think our guys thought much of it and just kept playing."
That appears to be the calling card of this Minnesota team: no disruptions, just a steady pace that has led them within two victories of a national championship.
Gopher alternate captain Johnny Pohl disputes the notion that he and his teammates will be nervous. They have been in enough big arenas in enough big games, he said, that that shouldn't play a role.
He does want to make sure, though, that he and his teammates — and the rest of the Gophers fans in attendance — will be able to look back at this weekend fondly.
"It's something that we'll remember for the rest of our lives, so hopefully we can look back on it with good memories," Pohl said. "We don't want to let 20,000 people down."
