Does losing the race for the starting role for Team Canada after a pair of prelim defeats take some of the shine off the great goalie's career?
It'll be interesting to view how historians eventually handle Martin Brodeur's fall from glory at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. The 37-year-old goaltending great was shaky in two games for Canada, a 3-2 shootout win against Switzerland and a 5-3 loss to the United States.

For a number of reasons, there's isn't much excitment surrounding who will get the top pick in the 2010 draft.
There doesn't seem to be nearly as much drama in this year's race for last place in the NHL standings – and first draft pick overall.

With six losses in a row and a lacklustre offense, the Flames have to change their philosophy now before it's too late.
Judging by the public outcry in Calgary following a 9-1 loss to San Jose Monday and the team's precipitous fall from third place in the conference to ninth in less than two weeks, you'd think the Saddledome was falling in on the Flames.

A team that had no playoff hopes to begin with gave up a huge chunk of their future, hurting the team for years to come.
Imagine the buzz in Toronto today had the Maple Leafs not foolishly traded away their first round pick in the 2010 draft? They'd be talking about possibly getting that first overall pick.

While Baseball's Hall of Fame selection process may not be perfect, it's much better than the NHL's secretive policy.
There are a lot of critics out there lampooning the Baseball Hall of Fame's induction process, yet it's still a far better system than the one used in hockey.

THN's summer picks may be way off at this point, but there's plenty of time for things to get back on track.
Taking a look at our conference standings predictions from our 2009-10 Yearbook, it's clear we spent too much of our summer on the golf course and not enough studying rosters.

Two players in need of a fresh start with comparable cap numbers would look good on the other side of the Great White North.
Jason Spezza for Dion Phaneuf. That' s a deal I'd make if I were either the Ottawa Senators or Calgary Flames. First a disclaimer. I don't like to make a habit of spreading or fabricating trade rumors.

Olli Jokinen knows a thing or two about toughing it out when things aren't going his way. If there's one thing he is, it's resilient.

It's been 25 years since the long-time Hab and King has been eligible for the Hall, so is it too late for him to be considered?
In my last blog, I covered off candidates for the 2010 Hockey Hall of Fame induction class. In summary, I said Joe Nieuwendyk is the best first-time eligible (three years retired) player while Eric Lindros and John LeClair are bubble candidates.
by Brian Costello - November 8, 2009 9:45 AM UTC
With the 2009 class set to be honored with a place in the hallowed Hockey Hall of Fame, we look ahead to who may join them next year.
We've had quite a run of Hall of Fame induction classes the past several years. This year's foursome of Steve Yzerman, Brett Hull, Brian Leetch and Luc Robitaille ranks among the best ever.

Old English sūth, of Germanic origin; related to Low German sud.
west from Old English:
All of the words for compass points are Old English. West can be traced back to an ancient root that also produced Latin vesper 'evening', also the source of the church service vespers (Late Middle English), the connection being that the sun sets in the west. Go west, meaning 'be killed', comes from the idea of the sun setting in the west at the end of the day, and became common during the First World War. The expression is also used more generally in the sense 'be lost or broken', and this is the meaning found in the American equivalent go south. The choice of a different compass point is possibly connected with the idea of something being on a downward trend, or perhaps go west sounded too positive, given the hopeful promise of the American West represented in the exhortation 'Go west, young man! Go west!', recorded from 1851. The lawless western frontier of the USA during the period when settlers were migrating from the inhabited east was known as the Wild West from the 1840s, and was the setting for Westerns featuring cowboys, Indians, and cattle rustlers from about 1910.

This luminous story begins in the present day, when a professor invites a colleague to his home to see a painting that he has kept secret for decades. The professor swears it is a Vermeer—but why has he hidden this important work for so long? The reasons unfold in a series of events that trace the ownership of the painting back to World War II and Amsterdam, and still further back to the moment of the work's inspiration. As the painting moves through each owner's hands, what was long hidden quietly surfaces, illuminating poignant moments in multiple lives. Susan Vreeland's characters remind us, through their love of this mysterious painting, how beauty transforms and why we reach for it, what lasts and what in our lives is singular and unforgettable.

Knitter's Review
February 13, 2014
If you've been watching the Olympics, you'll appreciate the amount of work that athletes put into their sport. While we knitters have very little to compare with a successful bobsled run or figure-skating routine, we can do some simple daily exercises to improve our skills.
It begins with a cast-on row. Then, we work a fresh row of stitches, then another, then another. Soon we have a lovely square of fabric in our hands.
The swatch serves no functional purpose. But it does teach us many things about gauge, technique, tension, yarn construction, fibers, and more—if we let it.
In honor of all those fine athletes, and all you fine knitters, it's time to celebrate the swatcher's manifesto.

Google for the University of Minnesota Duluth
Through a partnership with Google, University of Minnesota students, faculty, and staff can access a suite of Google-powered communication and collaboration tools designed to enhance our ability to work together. The suite includes email, calendar, document sharing, instant messaging, and Web site publishing tools.
Login to your UMD Gmail: www.d.umn.edu/email
The University has moved to Gmail as its primary email. You will keep your d.umn.edu address, but use Google's advanced email interface – without ads. It also comes with a powerful spam filter. You can access University email by clicking on the Email link on the top right of this screen, and then choosing Log into Gmail. If you log in from the Gmail webpage you will need to enter your full address (including the "@d.umn.edu") in the Email spot.
For detailed information on using your University Gmail account, please see information on the Email Services page from OIT (Office of Information Technology in the Twin Cities).Departmental Accounts
Departmental email accounts (Internet ID and email) will be created for any official U of M organization (department, division, laboratory, office, committee, research project, etc.) or function (for example, the webmaster or front desk of a department). Departmental accounts should be used only for official organization business and should be monitored on a regular basis by an organizational contact person. See the Service Requests Page to request a new account. To verify an account, or to change who the owners of the account are:
- Open a browser you are not currently logged into with your own University credentials. For example, if you use Chrome to check your email open up Firefox or Internet Explorer.
- Go to this link: z.umn.edu/deptverify
- Type in your DeptID (this is part of your EFS string). If you do not know this number you can look it up using this link.
- Type the correct people's Internet ID's (up to 3 owners) who should be marked down as the owner of this account.
Mail Delegation can be useful for people who want others to have access to read or respond to mail on their behalf. For example, you can delegate email rights to up to 10 others, such as administrative and executive assistants, in your unit. This feature is recommended primarily to access a supervisor's email in order to complete correspondence on their behalf. For privacy and security reasons, it is not recommended for general use at the University.
Google Apps
Effective October 2014, all Google Apps have been enabled for the University Google users, with the exception of Gmail for Health Care Component-related accounts.
See the Google For Education training site for information on the applications available.Google for Health Care Component-Related Accounts
Due to privacy concerns, Health Care Component-related accounts have limited access to Google Apps. Please see OIT's site regarding Gmail for HCC accounts.
Google Groups
Note, in order to get your group built in to UMD mail routing, you should request a group through the University of Minnesota Web form (and not through the google groups home page).
For more information, consult UMD Google Groups.
Special instructions on converting a Mailman list to UMD Google Groups.
For information on Google Course Groups, check out the Google Course Group page.
Mobile Computing
ITSS support and service for mobile devices is limited. Due to the sheer volume of models, carriers, and services, ITSS support is limited to basic configuration assistance for email and calendar access. Additional set up or troubleshooting assistance is available as a billable service.
With the University's move to Google Apps for email and calendar, it's easier than ever to access this data from your mobile device. Following is the basic information you will need to configure access to these services. We encourage you to try these directions on your device before calling for assistance.
There are a number of ways to access Gmail on your mobile device:
- Option 1 - Use your mobile web browser (recommended)
- This option does not require any setup - all you need is a web browser on your mobile device.
- Open a web browser and go to: http://www.d.umn.edu/gmail/
- Sign in to the GMail web interface using your University Internet ID and password.
- Option 2 - Use the Google Mobile App (recommended)
- This option requires some setup - you will need to download the App to your phone.
- Get the Mobile App for your device. Google provides Mobile Apps for most devices (including Android, iPhone, and others).
- Sign in to the Mobile App using your University Internet ID and password.
- Option 3 - Configure your mobile device's email client
- This option requires the most setup - you will need to enter UMD-specific information on your device and set a mobile password.
- Set up a Google desktop/mobile client password.
- Use this information to configure your mobile device:
- Username: Enter your full UMD e-mail address (firstname.lastname@example.com).
- Password: Enter the your UMD password.
- E-mail Address: Enter your full University of Minnesota e-mail address again.
- Incoming Mail Server: Enter imap.gmail.com.
- Incoming Mail Port: Enter 993 and select Use SSL.
- Outgoing Mail Server: Enter smtp.gmail.com.
- Outgoing Mail Port: Enter 587 and select Use TLS.
- Sign in to the mobile client using your University Internet ID and password.
If you need further assistance, here are a few things to try:
- Check your owner's manual - most have detailed instructions on setting up email.
- Contact your phone company or manufacturer, as they will have details on your voice and/or data plan.
Starting July 7, 2015, a separate Google Desktop/Mobile Client Password will no longer be required to authenticate to Google services.
If the problems persist, call the ITSS Help Desk to set up an appointment for assistance. At this time, ITSS staff are providing limited free technical support for the mobile web browser (option 1) or Gmail App (option 2) only. If you would like ITSS assistance in configuring your mobile device's email or calendar client (option 3), please call the Help Desk and provide an EFS number for billing and we will queue your request.
Google and Accessibility
Google has expressed a commitment to accessibility and provided instructions for how to use accessibility features of their products.
However, Google Apps currently possess accessibility barriers. Educational institutions have faced litigation over the inaccessibility of Google Apps.
The University of Minnesota Accessibility Standard illuminates helpful best practices. They are to:
- Consider the accessibility barriers of the Google App to be used and which types of disabilities may be affected.
- Allow the use of alternative software to accomplish the same tasks being done with Google Apps.
- Consider avoiding the use of Google Apps to provide access to educational material, if Google Apps is the only means of access.
- Consider a change in pedagogy to include small group participation, eliminating the need for an individual with a disability to interact directly with a Google app.
According to Google documentation (PDF) people using assistive technology to interact with Google Apps will have the best experience using Google Chrome with the ChromeVox screen reader extension.
For further information, including tools and tips for using Google Apps, please see this InfoTech News article.
Can I use Outlook, MacMail, Thunderbird, or my favorite email client with Google Apps?
Most email clients can be pointed at the Google Apps servers and be made to work. At this time ITSS strongly encourages users to use the default, browser-based interface. We find that it is very fast and intuitive and for the vast majority of users it will be the best choice. We will provide only very limited support for any other email clients, especially as we work hard to roll out Google Apps in its default. At this time, ITSS staff are only able to provide free technical support for the Gmail web client. If you wish to use a desktop client (Thunderbird or MacMail), please refer to the online instructions here. You may also need to enable less secure apps.
How much space do I have available for email & Google Drive documents?
As of Oct. 30, 2014, Google began to offer Google Drive for Education to University of Minnesota Google accounts. Drive for Education provides for unlimited storage and enhancements to Google Drive, Gmail, and Google+ photos.
Some of the benefits of unlimited storage include:
- Drive for Education supports individual files up to 1TB in size.
- Upload documents that you want to share in Drive instead of attaching to email.
- Departments and researchers can store and share large amounts of data, and share with with colleagues at other institutions.
It is recommended that users review the Acceptable Use and Data Security policy information for private and sensitive data, export controlled data and intellectual property. The University of Minnesota and Google have negotiated contractual terms and conditions that protect the privacy and confidentiality of University student, faculty, staff, and alumni data in the U of M Google Apps suite of services.
Users also should be aware of copyright regulations and infringement ramifications when sharing files, as outlined in the Google Terms of Service.
- Google respects the rights of copyright holders, and requires that users have the legal right to upload and share the contents of their files on Google Docs.
- Google provides information to help copyright holders manage their intellectual property online.
- Google responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement and terminate accounts of repeat infringers according to the process set out in the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Hi guys I have a question
is it possible to run PMS twice but using 2 different IP addresses as my Motherboard has 2 LAN ports....
I want 1 PMS to pick up say ip address 192.168.2.13
and second one to pick up 192.168.2.5
as soon as I select 1 force network interface and then open another and select a different force network interface and save it. it disconnects the player on the other PS3.
I have tried to install on C: and the other one on D: and run differently but they cant seem to run independent to each other. I can run say PMS and PLEX but I don't really like the interface. id rather have 2 instances of PMS running

Looking for a strategy challenge that involves a bunch of cards? Dominion is your game. Well, maybe.
The King is dead! Long live the King!Of cards...
Dominion was I believe the first in now a bursting at the seams genre of strategy deck building games. The essential mechanic of these games is as follows: start with a few cards in your own deck, usually money, then draw these cards to buy additional cards to add to your deck. Use your deck up, reshuffle including your purchases, then draw from the new deck. Purchased cards can do any number of things - get you more money, get you points, get you other cards. Sometimes they might allow you to take cards from an opponent or force them to lose cards.
An example of a card. That"+2 Actions" bit may seem small,but it's actually a key component.
Dominion is set in a kingdom where you and your friends all compete to become the leader. You do so by using the above mechanic. In this case, you start by choosing ten different types of cards that you'll have the opportunity to buy. Note that the game comes with 25 different types of cards to select from (and there are many, many expansions that increase that number), so every game has different challenges. The card types give you potential powers if you draw them into your hand. The goal is then to use these cards to obtain the most victory points before the game ends. Timing is a very important skill here - no matter what your strategy, if you make your play too early, you end up playing catch up, and if you're too late, well... you're too late.
In a way, Dominion is also a game of programming. Each card represents an instruction, and when you draw them into your hand, you must decide on the order to play them to get the maximum return. Fail to do that, and all the timing in the world won't save you.
Yep, loads of cards in a prettywell designed box.
Dominion has been a sales success, and for good reason; the art is excellent, and they make a valiant effort to help you, the buyer, keep all of your cards neat and organized by providing an effective, if somewhat flimsy, plastic organizer for all of them.
This is what passesfor money.
But it's not for everyone. First, it takes a while to play - an hour for certain, and perhaps 3-4 hours or more, depending on the number of players and how much they consider their plays. Also, this is a game for people who like to keep track of rules (which is probably why I like it). Cards interact with each other in different ways depending on the order in which they're played. If fiddly rules aren't your thing, there's a good chance you won't enjoy this game.
Ah, but if you do... the satisfaction of trying out and succeeding with a strategy that's been hard won - this game gives plenty of opportunities for that, and plenty of room for different strategies. It's nerdy to the nth degree, and ideal for a gaggle (briefcase?) of rules lawyers to debate with each other for hours as to the legitimacy of that play or another.
You'll learn to love collectingthese green fellas.
If you aren't sure, take the plunge and play when invited. No one rule is hard to grasp. It's when they are combined that things get challenging. But be warned: if you do like this game, you will be hard pressed not to buy the 8 and counting expansions. At $45 SRP each, that can add up to some serious coin.
2-4 players, Rio Grande Games
6 victory points out of 10 (for challenging gameplay)

Rep. Doc Hastings Plans to Retire
Rep. Doc Hastings (R., Wash.), chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, announced Thursday that he will retire after 10 terms in the House.
"Last Friday, I celebrated my 73rd birthday and while I have the ability and seniority to continue serving Central Washington, it is time for the voters to choose a new person with new energy to represent them in the people's House," he said in a statement.
His district, which Republican Mitt Romney won with nearly 60% of the vote in 2012, is expected to stay easily in Republican hands. The Cook Political Report rates it "solid Republican."
Mr. Hastings was first elected in 1994 as part of the big class of 73 freshman Republicans whose victories gave Republicans control of the House for the first time in 40 years. It was a conservative, anti-incumbent wave that installed Newt Gingrich (R., Ga. ) as House Speaker. With Mr. Hastings's departure, six members of the class of 1994 at most will remain in the House.
He has served as chairman of the Natural Resources Committee since 2011, where he has focused on increasing American energy production, ensuring the safety of offshore drilling, and broadening access to public lands. He previously served as chairman of the House Ethics Committee from 2005 to 2007.
The congressman's announcement brings the number of retiring House lawmakers to 18—seven Democrats, and 11 Republicans.

Job Corps centers in Missouri have launched a recruitment drive to fill immediate openings and expand their career training and educational opportunities to even more young men and women.
"Job Corps has open space for new students, and we are working hard to spread the good news that we are ready and eager for new applicants," said Walt Hall, regional director for the Chicago Region of Job Corps, which includes Missouri. "I encourage any young person who is interested in the career training we offer to call us now to take advantage of this great opportunity."
Job Corps is a U.S. Department of Labor program that provides eligible students with career technical training, academic support room and board, counseling and mentoring services, and basic medical care. Young people ages 16 through 24 who meet low-income requirements can enroll in the program at no cost to them by calling (800) 733-JOBS [5627].
Each Job Corps center offers training and a path toward industry-recognized credentials in fields such as construction, health care and business administration. Centers in Missouri include:
• Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center, Excelsior Springs
• St. Louis Job Corps Center, St. Louis
• Mingo Job Corps Center, Puxico
Job Corps students train in the skills needed to start a career, enlist in the military or move on to pursue higher education. Students have the opportunity to earn a high school diploma through partnerships with local school districts or a high school equivalency credential. At some centers, students can even take courses at local community colleges while enrolled in Job Corps. The program also provides career counseling and transitional support for up to 21 months after graduation.
Most Job Corps students reside on-center in dorms, but some who live nearby can choose to commute. The most successful Job Corps students stay in the program one to two years, depending on their pace of achievement and whether they choose to pursue advanced training.
Administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, Job Corps is the nation's largest career technical training and education program for low-income young people ages 16 through 24. Job Corps provides services to approximately 60,000 young people each year at 125 centers in 48 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Obama Delivers Subtle Messages to Justices
Chastened after his 2010 State of the Union address, when his explicit criticism of a Supreme Court decision sparked a rebuke from several justices, President Barack Obama took a more subtle approach Tuesday regarding a ruling he considers misguided. The reference in Tuesday's address to Congress was so subtle, in fact, that television camera operators apparently didn't realize what he was referring to, and failed to cut to attending justices for a reaction shot.
"Last year, part of the Voting Rights Act was weakened," Mr. Obama said, invoking the passive voice to avoid mention of the entity that did the weakening: the Supreme Court. The high court voted 5-4 along conservative-liberal lines to free states with a history of discrimination from their obligation to obtain federal approval before changing election procedures.

Five justices were in the audience. Two, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy, found that the formula for identifying states requiring federal oversight no longer was constitutional. Three dissented from the ruling, Shelby County v. Holder—Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan. Their facial expressions couldn't be seen.
"But conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats are working to strengthen it," Mr. Obama continued, referring to a bill co-sponsored by Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R., Wis.), Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D., Mich.) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.). The bill would create a new formula for determining which jurisdictions had violated voting rights so egregiously in recent years to justify federal oversight.
Mr. Obama added a comment perhaps inspired by a case now pending before the justices, McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, which would lift limits on aggregate campaign contributions a single individual can make, which current law caps at about $125,000 over a two-year cycle.
"It should be the power of our vote, not the size of our bank account, that drives our democracy," the president said, but again the justices' reaction was not displayed to television viewers.
Four justices skipped Tuesday's event. Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas have avoided it for years. Justice Sonia Sotomayor was in California. And Justice Samuel Alito—who visibly mouthed "not so" when President Obama in 2010 criticized the decision called Citizens United, which lifted limits on corporate and political spending—hasn't been seen in the House chamber since.
VIDEO Q&A at 1 p.m. Wednesday: What do you make of President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech? Can he push through a minimum wage increase nationwide? What about these new myRA retirement accounts? How about jobs or foreign policy challenges? Join the Journal's Aaron Zitner, Carol E. Lee and Patrick O'Connor for a video Q&A at 1 p.m. ET Wednesday, and submit your questions. http://www.spreecast.com/events/can-obama-rebound

What it is
A new Osage Beach Elementary School is being constructed at the location on Nichols Rd. near Sycamore Creek Golf Course as one of the projects being funded by a no-tax-increase bond issue in the Camdenton R-III School District in April 2013. Curtiss Manes Schulte, Inc. of Eldon is the general contractor for the 81,845 square foot school. Due to the terrain of the five-acre site, the lower level of the school will be built into the side of a hill to be more cost effective.
What's new
Excavation has been ongoing throughout the winter and into the spring. According to Camdenton R-III Superintendent Dr. Tim Hadfield, crews have hit more rock at this site than at the elementary school project in Sunrise Beach. With the rock, there has been some demolition work including blasting. There has also been a lot of tree removal and rough grading work done. Despite the tough landscape, workers have made good progress at the site since the groundbreaking ceremony Nov. 13, 2013, says Hadfield. The topsoil has also been stripped and stockpiled, and they have also been working on erosion control and storm drainage.
What's next
Overall, Hadfield says crews have been doing a terrific job of getting the site prepared for construction. Getting the footings and the rest of the concrete poured should be coming soon, depending on spring weather. A construction committee review April 1 showed the project to be on schedule to open to students by August 2015.
About the project
• The school overall will provide classroom space for four sections of each grade level up to fourth grade.
• There will also be rooms for special instructional needs such as special education, reading recovery, speech, ELL and title programs.
• Art and music rooms, computer and conference rooms, media center, new gym, performance area and expanded cafeteria and kitchen are part of the plans as well.
• Outdoors there will be a new playground area with part hard and soft surface space.
• Contracted amount for construction and renovation is $12,902,314.
• Costs for architectural, engineering, materials testing and printing work were around $785,000.

Vaginal dryness and related painful intercourse (also called dyspareunia) is one of the most common problems reported by women who are receiving or have completed cancer treatments. This decrease in vaginal lubrication is often caused by a decrease or lack of estrogen in the body or changes to the vaginal tissue. Pelvic surgery, radiation to the ovaries, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy can all cause these changes. This drop in estrogen levels causes the vaginal tissue to thin and produce less natural lubrication, which can lead to itching, burning or pain/discomfort all the time, not just during sexual activity.
The following may be helpful in managing vaginal dryness:
Vaginal Lubricants
There are numerous vaginal lubricants on the market, including AstroGlide, Durex, Femglide, KY, and Wet, as well as less expensive store brands carried by many pharmacy chains. These products are designed to be used just before or during sexual activity.
Be sure to read the labels and choose products that are water-based / water soluble, or silicone-based. Petroleum-based products are available, but these can damage the latex in condoms or diaphragms, making them ineffective. Petroleum can also act as a harbor for bacteria in the vagina and lead to infection. Avoid Vaseline and baby oil as well.
Ask the store pharmacist for help if you have questions about ingredients. Lubricants are available in standard preparations, edible flavors, and warming liquids. These products can be purchased through many Internet sites, if privacy is a concern.
Vaginal Moisturizer
Replens is a product known as a long-lasting vaginal moisturizer. It is designed to help vaginal tissue regain elasticity and moisture. Replens should be used 3 times a week for a minimum of 3 months, as it can take this long to achieve the desired effects. In addition, women can also choose to safely use Replens or a vaginal lubricant prior to intercourse for added effect. This product is not estrogen-based (so it is safe for breast cancer patients). Ask the store pharmacist for help if you have questions. These products can also be purchased on many Internet sites, if privacy is a concern.
Vaginal Estrogen Products
Vaginal estrogen creams are inserted in the vagina, generally 2-3 times a week at bedtime. These products are rapidly absorbed by the vaginal tissue, resulting in elevated estrogen levels in the body for the first 3-4 months. After that time, absorption is less, but still results in higher than normal post-menopausal estrogen levels. Given the risk of estrogen stimulating breast cancer growth, these products are used with caution in breast cancer survivors.
Estring is a silicone ring that is inserted and remains in the vagina for three months. Vagifem is a tablet, inserted in the vagina once a day for 2 weeks, then twice weekly. Both products slowly release a low dose of estrogen, resulting in relief of vaginal dryness. Although the levels of estrogen in the body are lower with these preparations, they are not zero. The risk to breast cancer survivors is thought to be low, but long-term studies have not been done. Most oncologists are comfortable prescribing these products for breast cancer patients, realizing the importance of quality of life and the low risk involved. These products should not be confused with Femring, which is a form of hormone replacement therapy, which releases higher doses of estrogen.
In addition, in women with a uterus, there is concern that the lack of progesterone in these preparations could lead to endometrial changes. Studies have not confirmed this, but some physicians will follow women who use these products with vaginal ultrasound to detect any changes early.
Soy Products
Soy products have shown various benefits, including lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, and may provide some relief for mild hot flashes during menopause. Although it would seem likely that natural estrogens, such as soy, would help relieve vaginal dryness, studies of these products have not shown a benefit for vaginal dryness or atrophy (thinning or wasting of the vaginal tissue).
Other Suggestions for Dealing with Painful Intercourse
Lubrication may not always be the primary or only cause of painful intercourse. Sometimes surgery or radiation therapy may have left scars or limited flexibility, causing discomfort. Experimenting with various positions may help discover a position that is comfortable. Changing the view that sexual activity has to be intercourse is another way to enjoy intimacy with your partner without pain.
Anxiety and tension can result in an inability to relax and enjoy yourself. Try creating the right environment: candles, lighting, music, or a glass of wine can help create the "mood." Of utmost importance is communication between partners. Without knowing what is painful, your partner cannot help in finding the solution.

Project Lifesaver is a nonprofit that helps keep your loved ones safe. (WRDW-TV)
AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. (WRDW) -- It only takes a second; turn your eyes away and they're gone. If you have a parent with Alzheimer's or a child with special needs, you know that feeling all too well.
The panic to find your loved one before something happens can be overwhelming, but one organization is making the process a little easier.
It's called Project Lifesaver, and its goal is self-explanatory: save a life.
They use a radio frequency tracking system that is unaffected by weather to help find people who have a tendency to wander.
Locally, it started with adults, but now it's helping children as well.
Karen Foreman remembers the day her mom wandered away like it was yesterday.
"I got the call. I left work frantic, not knowing what to expect," Foreman said.
Her mother, Bernice Washington, has dementia. On a spring day in 2012, she left the house and didn't come back.
"I cried and I prayed that my mom would be found safely," Foreman said.
She wandered down a dirt road and into the woods. She was found, sitting on the pavement under a street sign miles from home.
"She had things with her like her doll baby, a stick, a broom," she said.
Thanks to the Project Lifesaver bracelet, it took just 58 minutes to find her.
"Time is [of] the essence when something like that happens," she said.
That's why law enforcement in Aiken County brought the Project Lifesaver program here. When the bracelet is activated, a radio frequency wave will lead deputies to its location.
"A lot of people say, well it's just a small tracking device that they put on dogs or whatever, but that small tracking device saved my mom's life," Foreman said.
The program began in 2006 starting with just a few people with Alzheimer's, but recently it's been picked up for a lot more children.
Adyson Wise is one of those children.
"We found out probably about four months into the pregnancy that Adyson was gonna have Trisomy 21, so she was gonna have Down syndrome," said Adyson's mother, Angel Wise.
Adyson is 5 years old, and like many children with a cognitive delay, she likes to wander.
"You can turn your head for one minute, and they're gone," Wise said.
It happens all the time, but for her Wise, one day it was too much.
"[It was] her birthday party, and we had it at church. There were a lot of people, a lot of kids, a lot going on," said Angel. "We had our nieces and everybody keeping on Adyson. Well nobody knew where Adyson went. We couldn't find her, and I panicked."
Adyson ended up in the boy's bathroom, but it was a feeling Wise never wanted to have again.
"I wasn't gonna be scared like that again and can't find my child," she said.
So she signed up for Project Lifesaver.
"With anybody with a cognitive delay or with Alzheimer's, its just something that you really can't control and you can't really get a grip on it sometimes," Wise said.
Adyson wears her bracelet on her ankle everyday and so does Bernice, but to their families, it's much more than just a bracelet.
"Security. It's given me peace of mind and security," Wise said.
They say the difficult thing about finding people or children with cognitive delays is that they won't necessarily call out for help.
Aiken County currently has 39 people on the program. Columbia County has the program as well.
Project Lifesaver is a nonprofit organization. Each bracelet costs around $315 plus batteries each month. There is no cost to the people who use the bracelet.
The Sertoma Clubs raise money for the program and are always looking for help with funding. They say the cost of a typical search without the bracelet can be hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It is an international organization, so anywhere you travel that has the program,you can let them know ahead of time you are coming and they can activate the bracelet in that city.

March is National Nutrition Month. This is the time for us all to focus on broadening our nutritional awareness and our healthy eating habits. This year's theme, "Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right," is also encouraging us to focus on the flavor of healthy eating.
FoodFacts.com thinks that this is a great new direction for the occasion! Too many Americans still associate healthy eating with a lack of flavor. Some of us even have some bad memories of our moms attempting to include different versions of health foods into family favorites. My own mom was no exception. Many decades ago, when adding bran to your diet was a popular, healthy addition, my mother got a little carried away. Growing up in an Italian household, meatballs were a Sunday meal staple. She decided to substitute bran for the bread in her meatballs one Sunday. It was rather unforgettable and it would be difficult to accurately describe the look on my dad's face when he bit into a meatball. If you know anything about Italian Sunday meals, you know they're rather long, boisterous affairs. That one wasn't. At all.
We've come so far in defining healthy eating and healthy habits. These many decades later, there are so many flavorful ways to incorporate healthy foods (and healthy cooking) into our diets. We can "Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right" without sacrificing taste or meal satisfaction. So we want to share some ideas with our community to help you get the most enjoyment from your healthy diet.
Fruit in the fridge
Apples, pears, bananas, grapes, peaches, apricots, cherries, melons, berries … we love them all. We sometimes notice though, that we don't get as much of them as we would if we have them readily available. Many of us like to choose a variety of them, slice up those that aren't bite size and mix them together in a container to keep in the fridge. Great mid-afternoon snack. Perfect for taking care of a little craving after dinner.
Parfaits for breakfast
They're appealing. They're tasty. And when you make them yourself, they're healthy. Good quality plain yogurt, low-fat granola and the fruit of your choice make for an interesting and satisfying breakfast. Kids love these, too. They look like dessert!
Meatless Monday
We really like this idea. With all the research that's come out regarding plant-based diets, the mediterranean diets and the benefits of plant-based proteins, many of us here really enjoy reserving one day of the week for meatless meals. It allows us to be creative and experiment. This winter we've enjoyed a variety of soups — mushroom barley, potato, tomato and broccoli to name just a few. Beans and root vegetables can make a great, flavorful stew. Let's move away from the idea that vegetarian meals can't be hearty and delicious.
Nuts and seeds
In the last twelve months or so we've seen some great, meaningful research some out about a variety of nuts and seeds. Walnuts, almonds and chia seeds come to mind, but there are so many options. Sprinkle them in oatmeal or yogurt. Enjoy them over salads. Incorporate them into sauces. They add a distinctive crunch and depth of flavor to whatever dish in which they're included!
Kids in the kitchen
Looking for ways to encourage your kids to make better food choices? Get them cooking! Kids are naturally creative souls and there's no better way to put that creativity to work. Their involvement in food preparation actually helps them to try new foods and gets them excited about their meals. Even if they're not old enough to slice and dice, there are still many different ways they can help out. They can learn to measure and mix ingredients, choose different herbs and spices and help to create new recipes. They'll love it and you'll have a great time. And who knows, with a little encouragement you may have a future Bobby Flay or Mario Batali in the family!
However you choose to celebrate National Nutrition Month, make it healthy and delicious for the whole family! "Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right" throughout March and all year long!

I just played an .mkv movie on 1.71 and it was with subtitles but unfortunately in English and not Bulgarian, which I don't know how happened.
Now I uninstalled 1.71 downgraded to 1.40 but MEncode still freezes and noencoding doesn't show subs. I am losing hope ... more over PMS 1.40 is not working well with my Philips. It keeps crashing and having problems to detect it I'm going back to 1.71

You did not come here to conquer flesh. You came here to live in it. You came here to be part of it, not to destroy it, not to repress it and not to conquer it. If you are not one with your body you will be owned. If you go into social consciousness from an image standpoint you are owned also. ...If you cannot see the world and hear the world then you can be fully controlled. These mystery schools, all of your religions, all of your dogmas, all of these that have secrets, all have penalties. Every one of them will take your life away; they will take the love away from you which is worse than taking your life. The only school that exists is LIFE and that is no mystery....Why are you not yet living it? (pg 422-424)Within your beings, always simply remember, if you follow no other truth, follow the truth that within your being is called joy. If you follow that , you're always going to be right where you need to be, and you will always have life within your being. That's where you need to be. ...when you are faced with something that gives you fear, realize that fear is of man's mind- not God's. So realize that within your being you already have everything you need to go home. (p437) Joy is the fastest way to bypass the circuitry you have with your subpersonalities. (p166)

Q My 9-year-old daughter recently flew as an unaccompanied minor from LAX to Boise, Idaho. The fee was $99 each way, but there was no real service. I had to take her to the gate, she was picked up at the gate by my friend, and on the flight she was treated just like everybody else. Besides that, she was seated next to a male passenger. Her soccer team can't even practice with the two male coaches without a mom being there. We were shocked. What is the policy?
A One question that arises immediately: What is that fee for, exactly? "United representatives supervise the children, escort them to and from the gate and provide support and guidance throughout their travel experience," said Charles Hobart, a representative for United.
In the case of this woman's daughter, however, United refunded the money after the mother said she couldn't detect any such service for her child. In an email, the customer service rep said, "From your feedback, it sounds like the service that you paid for was not provided. I apologize."
Airline reps say that every airline does its best to ensure a child's safety.
That's where the question of seating becomes a hot potato. According to CNN, on a recent Virgin Australia flight, an unaccompanied minor was seated next to a male passenger; the child was moved. The man was upset because he felt as if he were suspected of being a pedophile.
What's an airline to do? James Boyd, a spokesman for Singapore Airlines, said his airline wants the child on the aisle near the galley because, he noted, "that's the crew's office" and the child has proximity to crew members.
Or, said another way, "Child molesters would be less likely to attempt molestation if (children) were more visible," said Dr. Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Institute.
Singapore also tries to seat unaccompanied minors next to an empty seat. If that's not possible, the next-best seat is near a family or a couple, Boyd said.
If your child has a seat you aren't comfortable with, get proactive and work with airline personnel. "Our gate agents always try to accede to a parent's wishes whenever possible," said Mary Frances Fagan, a representative for American Airlines.
You can't select your child's seat mate, of course, but you can equip him or her to handle a bad situation. It's important to talk to a child about what to do if a seat mate is "somebody who seems too friendly and who gets into personal space or touching in ways that are not comfortable," said David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire.
But don't scare a child out of his or her wits. Most of life comes with risks, and the parent must decide whether it's worth it to put a young child on a plane.
Today's column comes from Catharine Hamm of the Los Angeles Times.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — HGTV decorator Linda Woodrum has selected four of Truckee-based landscape photographer Elizabeth Carmel's Lake Tahoe prints for the HGTV's 2014 showcase dream home.
The 2014 HGTV Dream Home, to be given away in the HGTV sweepstakes, is located in the Shaffer's Mill Development and designed by Ward-Young Architects.
Proceeds from tours of the home benefit the Tahoe Forest Health System Foundation.
Woodrum selected "Night Journey," "Clearing Fog," "Winter Sunset," and "Silver and Gold II" from Carmel's black and white collection of Lake Tahoe prints. They are featured in an upstairs landing / seating area of the home.
Elizabeth Carmel releases her fine art photographs in small editions. She does her own printing and can print in any size on canvas or fine art paper.
She is the author of two coffee table landscape photographic books: "Brilliant Waters" (selected as the best gift book of 2006 by the San Francisco Chronicle Book Review) and the "Changing Range of Light." Carmel also pens a column for Outdoor Photography magazine.
See more of Elizabeth's fine art at the Carmel Gallery at 9940 Donner Pass Road in downtown Commercial Row in Truckee and at 1329 Lincoln Ave. in downtown Calistoga.

Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the United States, affecting 1 in 88 children. It is more common than juvenile diabetes, childhood cancer and AIDS combined. In Minnesota alone, more than 14,000 children have autism, and the numbers are rising rapidly.
Just as staggering as the statistics is the lack of awareness surrounding them, but thanks to the efforts of local Kathleen Preuss and others autism is getting the attention and support it deserves.
This past Saturday Preuss and her daughter, Michelle, and mother, Barb Anderson, traveled to the Mall of America where they joined with other family members and friends to take part in the Fraser Walk for Autism. There, they comprised a handful of the more than 2,000 people that attended the walk and who managed to raise more than $150,000 for Fraser Autism Services.
Preuss said the disability has struck to the heart of her family as her brother Edward Bentzlin's son, Stephen, and sister Penny Binnebose's son, Brady, both have autism. The group's team name "Brady's Buddies" pays tribute to a focus of their support.
Preuss said that the team arrived at the Mall of America at 7:00 a.m where they were treated to breakfast and given the opportunity to take part in games and other entertainment. The walk itself started at 8:00 a.m. and included several stations for children, such as service dogs and animal/pet interaction, which help autistic children by reinforcing positive social behaviors.
According to the organization's website, Fraser is the largest and most experienced autism services provider in Minnesota, offering a range of services for children, adolescents, adults, and families in the Twin Cities.
For her part, Preuss was able to raise over $1,400 from local businesses and organizations to support Fraser's mission and in the process, her two nephews.
Preuss said the Upper Sioux Community, Granite Falls Bank, Fagen Inc., and Woody's Bar located in Wood Lake, were the group's top contributors––and that additional donations came from Danielowski's, Economart, Willie's korner Store, Dallas II, Citizen's Alliance Bank, Carl's Bakery, The Saw Mill, Dairy Queen, Hardees, Granite Floral, and Wood Lake Lumber.
We could not have done that without the support of the area businesses," she said. "Brady's Buddies are ever so grateful."

These adventures beyond the norm
|A ground support team of climbing rangers heads up the Glacier Basin Trail toward Camp Schurman on the east side of Mount Rainier. They were participating in the operation begun the previous day which rescued a fallen party of climbers near the top of the mountain and resulted in the death by falling of climbing ranger Nick Hall on June 22, 2012. (Peter Haley/Tacoma News Tribune/MCT)
Here is a look at some of the people, and groups, who we felt were worthy of recognition as our Adventurers of the Year.
At one point on the morning of Aug. 5, a fellow climber on the upper slopes of Mount Rainier asked Dave Eubank about his surprisingly small climbing partner.
"Is that a small man?" the climber asked.
"No," Eubank said. "That's my 6-year-old son."
On that picture perfect morning, Peter Eubank safely reached the summit, becoming one of the youngest people to climb — and perhaps the youngest to climb unassisted — the 14,411-foot peak.
"We don't keep official records for things like that," said Chuck Young, Mount Rainier National Park's chief ranger. "So we don't really know for sure if he is the youngest."
Regardless, Peter Eubank has notched more adventures by his seventh birthday than most adults will in their lifetimes. He's climbed Mount Baker and Grand Teton, been hunting in Alaska and he skydived in the Czech Republic.
"It (the Rainier climb) was very, very fun," Peter said last month by phone from Alaska where he was preparing to go hunting. "It was not scary."
Peter, who turned 7 in October, said his favorite part of the climb was glissading during the descent.
While Peter's accomplishments might sound extreme for a child, David shrugs off criticism that he's putting his son in harm's way.
"First, I love my child way more than any critic loves my child," David said. "I'm not pushing my kid to break records. I'm allowing him to do what he wants to do. ... And these activities are well within my ability. ... I know our safety limit."
The first anniversary of the shooting death of Mount Rainier National Park ranger Margaret Anderson was recently marked.
Anderson was shot by a man she stopped for running a routine snow-tire inspection point and she has been lauded as a hero who may have a prevented the man from opening fire on others at Paradise meadow.
Her death was the first of many reminders in 2012 of the effort and risks made by those who work to protect Rainier and its visitors.
Shortly after Anderson's funeral, many Rainier rangers were thrust back into action when a deadly storm pounded the mountain, trapping seven people. Rangers with the assistance of other organizations including Tacoma Mountain Rescue and the Crystal Mountain Ski Patrol rescued one of the missing persons, Yong Kim of Tacoma.
Four Northwest men, including two University of Puget Sound graduates, planned to shove off from Dakar, Senegal, late this month and row a 29-foot boat 3,569 nautical miles to Miami.
This is the latest adventure for OAR Northwest, an organization that has been stockpiling adventures and attempting to inspire and educate others since 2006.
The current expedition sponsored by the Canadian Wildlife Federation includes University of Puget Sound graduates Jordan Hanssen and Pat Fleming and Canadians Adam Kreek and Markus Pukonen. Kreek was a rowing gold medalist for Canada at the 2008 Olympics.

When you stay at Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast, an Ohio Bed and Breakfast located in Dellroy, Ohio, we have created several day trips for you to choose from. The following is for outdoor things to do. Be sure to say hello to one of many resident frogs.
Horseback riding is a popular activity in the area. Make your reservation at Faith Ranch where they have a horse to fit everyone's ability and 4200 acres to explore. On your return have lunch at Bluebird Farm for a delightful dining experience. Don't miss their gift shop and winery. Head on back to the Inn and relax for awhile on the swing, hammock or patio watching the sailboats drift by. You'll want to leave time for a walk at Atwood Lake Park where there are several trails and a climbing tower where you will get a bird's eye view of the area. Free entrance to the park for guests of Whispering Pines. This would be a good day to plan dinner at The Lighthouse Bistro which is very close to the park entrance. There is also a bike lane on the south side of the lake about four miles long on each side. You can change this plan by including a canoe ride on the Tuscarawas River. This might be a good day to schedule a massage in the evening.
I'll look forward to seeing you soon,
Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast ——————————-

News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It has been two years since a 9-year-old boy was hit and killed. Who was driving the car in the fatal accident is still a mystery.
Donovan Brown was walking home from a popular haunted house on Travis Road near James Drive when the vehicle hit him on Oct. 16, 2010.
Juanita Reece can't believe it's been two years since her son was killed.
"It's tough, but it's better than last year," she said. "It feels like yesterday, and I'm still in the medical field now. When there's certain things that I see, certain things that I hear, brings it back, but yeah -- it's still kind of fresh."
Donovan was walking with his brother and a friend home from the Plantation Blood haunted house when he was hit by a passing vehicle. The driver paused, then sped away.
"Sometimes it brings anger, and then other times, it's just unsettling because my thought is, if they did it with one child, could they do it with somebody else?" Reece said.
Reece says Donovan loved the color green.
"It means peace, prosperity, praise, new movement, and that's what Donovan was about," she said.
The family held a vigil last year on the one-year anniversary of his death.
"He was very articulate, very smart," Reece said. "He would just pop in the room and everything would change, no matter how sad someone would be."
A vague vehicle description and little evidence at the scene has made the investigation a tough one for law enforcement.
"Just think about how you would feel if it was your child, how you would feel if you had no closure?" Reece said.
Complaints about the haunted house have continued for past two years -- everything from the traffic, to the noise, to the parking.
"Yeah, I can understand why the neighbors are now upset. If this was anybody's child, I would stand with them, too. I want the kids in that area to be safe," Reece said.
And on this anniversary, she's praying someone comes forward.
"We just want closure, as would any family would," she said.
Investigators say they've had a couple of leads in the past two years, but nothing has panned out. Reece says Donovan wanted to be an archeologist or a geologist.
If you have any information about that night give law enforcement a call at (706) 821-1000.

Hello and thanks for reading, this (2012) will be my first Tri season. I am a clydesdale athlete (5' 10" 58chest 38waist 32inseam) WETSUIT! is the question can they be trimmed because all the ones i find that would fit my torso but also fits a person 6' to 6'5" so the legs and arms would be too long for me, any info or recommendations on this and a tri suit would be awesome because im at a loss and need someone whos been there and done that... ha. thanks.
Zac, I'm not goint to say "been there, done that", but I am a clydesdale as well, and know what you mean about the fit of a wetsuit. But, something that changed the game for me was both my swim coach and tri coach saying to go with a sleeveless wetsuit. Wow, much easier to get into a sleeveless suit. Now I understand the sleeve issue is something you will need to resovle, depending on where you are, but just something to consider. Know for sure which you need, because I believe that will make a huge difference. The chest fit much better without the sleeves pulling on the shoulders.
As the suit sizes get bigger, it seems they are meant for a taller person, not necessarily for a rounder (hey, round is a shape, I'm in shape ) person.
Good luck in your triathlons this year. This is my first year doing a tri, after three duathlons last year.
Just my $.02
I tri, du you?
Different brands are going to fit differently. If its possible you should go to a tri shop and let them help you pick a suit because they'll be more familiar with the different cuts. You might want to try renting a suit for a few days to see what it feels like before you purchase. I was lucky enough to have a friend about the same size who let me borrow her suit. I found out that I prefer a sleeveless suit like ACKMANN. You can always buy the neoprine sleeves to wear with a sleeveless suit.
Julie Ann, thank you for your advise and i have found a local tri shop here in portland ( athetes lounge) going in to be fitted and then rent a suit or two and find what works for me... again thanks.
Hey ACKMANN, thanks for the info and good luck in your 2012 tri season.
I love ACKMANN's comment about "round is a shape, I'm in shape"!! That is priceless. Unless you live in a climate like mine (and Portland isn't) where the local lakes freeze over and the water temp in the summer is still in the 50's, I would go with a sleeveless as well. A full suit for a taller person that fits your torso will have knee and elbow locations in the wrong place for you. Remember, these are very fitted and somewhat unflattering for a lot of us. As for cutting the sleeves and legs short, that would probably void most warranties and may cause problems at the seams without some finishing of the ends. My first season, I rented a wetsuit each time and the local shop gave a store credit towards purchase.By next season (if you decide you like doing tris, which is another reason to rent first) your shape may be different as well.
Good luck and have fun.
