You may be in a pleasure-seeking mood today and more apt than usual to engage in pursuits that net you only enjoyment. Entertaining activities such as sports, games, and dining out can attract your attention, compelling you to look for opportunities to put work and other responsibilities aside for a time. Likewise, a new hobby can become a source of inspiration should you choose to make it a larger part of your life. You may feel exceptionally happy and enthusiastic about life while you enjoy addressing tasks, making decisions, and expressing your creativity in fun, imaginative, and novel ways. Consider, today, that entertainment and amusements can be just as vital to your quality of life as air, food, and water.
The activities and hobbies we pursue for pure pleasure enrich our lives, reminding us that there is more to life than obligations and routine. Much of what we do each day is motivated by our survival needs—we work to sustain our bodies and nurture relationships to sustain our souls. While hobbies may seem like an indulgence, they are in actuality a tool that enables us to build a more fulfilling existence. When we engage in pursuits that have little value beyond the joy they inspire, we broaden the boundaries of our experience and actively banish boredom. The activities we enjoy also give us another variable for defining ourselves as they become a vital part of our lives. You'll recognize life's multidimensional aspects today when you make having fun a priority in your life.

FRIDA KAHLO CALDERÓN (1907-1954) was born in Coyoacán, a suburb of Mexico City, Mexico, to a Hungarian-German father and Spanish–Mexican Indian mother. As a child, she had polio involving her right leg but recovered sufficiently to engage actively in sports. Her imagination was vivid; when alone in her room, she would cloud a glass windowpane with her breath and then trace a doorway with her finger. In her imagination she would pass through it and travel to the middle of the earth to join an imaginary, joyful companion, share secrets with her, and watch her dance, then happily return through the same door, watching her companion disappear as she erased it. Frida attended the prestigious National Preparation School in Mexico City, hoping to become a physician. All her potential seemed lost when on September 17, 1925, at age 18 years, a streetcar hit the bus she was riding. She was impaled by an iron handrail that entered her left hip, creating a penetrating abdominal wound, and exited through her vagina with fractures of her third and fourth lumbar vertebrae, 3 fractures of the pelvis, fractures of the right foot, and dislocation of the left elbow.2(p13) The spinal fractures initially were not recognized but eventually led to immobilization with a plaster body cast for 9 months. For the rest of her life she endured the consequences of the accident, having more than 30 surgical procedures culminating in spinal fusion in 1946 and the amputation of her right lower leg in 1953, the year before she died.

Crews in the Gulf Coast are pointing to progress as they capture more oil from the leaking British Petroleum well near Louisiana.
The latest government estimate revealed about 630,000 gallons of oil a day are being contained. BP also released a high resolution video that shows the clearest pictures yet of the leak.
Congress held five separate hearings on the spill, Wednesday, but Gulf residents say there's too much talk and not enough action.
Thick globs of oil have washed ashore in Alabama and Florida and some beaches have been closed to swimmers for the first time since the spill.
President Obama announced his fourth trip to the region next week.
"We're looking at what's happening in the Gulf with deep concern and that's going to put more additional pressure on Congress to work with the states and the administration to help deal with this tragedy and this crisis," he said.
There is still concern that the impact of the spill may be underestimated. Scientists analyzing the flow said Tuesday that the amount of oil escaping the well could be considerable greater than what's being claimed.
"BP is claiming they're capturing the majority of the flow, which I think is going to be proven wrong in short order," crew member and Purdue University engineering professor Steve Wereley said. "Why don't they show the American public the before-and-after shots?"
BP also denied the leak created large underwater oil plumes, however, the government confirmed they exist.
"What we saw today was the absolute thickest and stickiest. This stuff just stuck to your hand like a mixture of clay and wax," diver and reef ecologist Scott Porter said. "There is no washing it off. You literally have to scrape the layers off first."
Divers worry what the plumes are doing to underwater life.
"I don't know of anything that would be able to live through that," Porter added. "Not once it's on them."

WEST Cork Paralympian John Twomey will be bidding for his third Paralympics medal at the upcoming games in London.
The Kinsale native will be competing in the Sonar Sailing Class at the London Games where he will be joined by two other members of the Kinsale Yacht Club, Ian Costello and Anthony Hearty.
The men have spent the last 12-months preparing for the competition under the watchful eye of world-renowned sailing coach, Simon Wheeler.
John is no stranger to success at the games having already secured a bronze medal in the Los Angeles Games in 1984 and a gold medal at the Seoul Games in 1988 in the discus.
The team have already secured a top five finish in the World Championship this year, and are confident of launching a significant challenge to the three frontrunners in the competition, GB, Holland and Norway.
Despite being confined to a wheelchair as a result of a cycling accident in 1970, John has pursued a successful career in accountancy and sport and has been the main driving force behind the success of Kinsale's twinnings with Newport, Rhode Island and Antibes, France.
Local town councillor Michael Frawley said, "John is a tremendous role model to all those who need to overcome adversity in their lives.
"On behalf of the people in the town, I wish him all the best".

Samariea suffered third-degree burns on the lower half of her body while taking a bath under the supervision of her mother's 17-year-old niece inside a home.
Oakland County sheriff's officials said Tuesday the infant died, not directly from the burns but from an infection that subsequently set in.
"The niece stated that she started to draw a bath for the child when she was distracted and a 3-year-old child entered the bathroom and turned up the hot water dial," Oakland County sheriff's officials say. "Over this past weekend the child developed an infection from the burns and did not survive, passing away Saturday at the hospital."
It's now being investigated as a negligent homicide and possible child abuse.
The teen babysitter was supervising Samariea and three of the child's siblings.
Sheriff's officials on Tuesday said the cause of death was pending an autopsy.

Greetings from The Amaz!ng Meeting!
This is the happiest I have yet been, here in the city I am learning to hate, the city with nothing to offer me and nothing to enjoy — except Joshua, Rebecca, PZ, Phil and nine hundred other friends. Yes, Gentle Reader, you know me well enough to guess that my most truly recreational experience here in Las Vegas has been sleeping late, eating a Toblerone in bed, tidying up a blag post from my drafts pile, and missing Michael Shermer's talk. Joshua just "texted" me, as the kids say, with the following message: "Ok. Shermer needs his Powerpoint privileges revoked. How many text-dump slides is he going to use?"
Call me psychic, Gentle Reader, or at least give me a little credit for remembering what I read. . . .
Anyway, because I'm here to have fun, it's time to talk physics. With equations.
When we studied the hydrogen atom, we found that an interaction potential which fell off inversely with distance was shape-invariant, implying all sorts of nice symmetry properties of the hydrogen atom's state space. The classical analogue of this situation would be two objects interacting via an inverse-square force (remember that force is given by the derivative of the potential). Having recently taken a rather madcap tour of the history of classical mechanics, we can probe a little more deeply and investigate one item in more technical detail. Today's subject will be defining and appreciating the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector, which as we said earlier was not discovered by Laplace, Runge or Lenz. After finding out that this vector quantity is conserved, we'll take a quick look at equations which define ellipses and then show that an inverse-square law of gravity can yield elliptical orbits. If any portion of this post is in error, please return the unused portion for a full refund.
We consider a central-force problem, in which Newton's second law can be written as
[tex]\displaystyle \dot{\vec{p}} = f(r) \hat{r} = f(r) \frac{\vec{r}}{r}.[/tex]
This equation means that the force depends only on the distance [tex]r[/tex] and is always directed along the line between the center of force and the moving object. Rotational symmetry tells us that the angular momentum [tex]\vec{L}[/tex] is conserved. (That's the ghost of Emmy Noether whispering in our ears.) If we take the cross product of [tex]\dot{\vec{p}}[/tex] with [tex]\vec{L}[/tex], we find that
[tex]\displaystyle \dot{\vec{p}} \times \vec{L} = \frac{mf(r)}{r} \left[\vec{r} \times (\vec{r} \times \dot{\vec{r}})\right],[/tex]
which the standard triple-cross-product identity lets us rewrite as
[tex]\displaystyle \dot{\vec{p}} \times \vec{L} = \frac{mf(r)}{r} \left[\vec{r}(\vec{r}\cdot\dot{\vec{r}}) – r^2 \dot{\vec{r}}\right].[/tex]
Because the component of the velocity in the radial direction is just [tex]\dot{r}[/tex], we can write
[tex]\displaystyle \vec{r}\cdot\dot{\vec{r}} = \frac{1}{2} \partial_t (\vec{r}\cdot\vec{r}) = r\dot{r},[/tex]
which lets us shuffle our expression for [tex]\dot{\vec{p}}\times\vec{L}[/tex] into the form
[tex]\displaystyle \partial_t (\vec{p}\times\vec{L}) = -mf(r)r^2 \left(\frac{\dot{\vec{r}}}{r} – \frac{\vec{r}\dot{r}}{r^2}\right).[/tex]
One more turn of the algebra crank gives us
[tex]\displaystyle \partial_t (\vec{p}\times\vec{L}) = -mf(r)r^2 \partial_t \hat{r}.[/tex]
If we know that [tex]f(r)[/tex] is inversely proportional to [tex]r^2[/tex], then
[tex]\displaystyle \partial_t (\vec{p}\times\vec{L}) = \partial_t (mk \hat{r}),[/tex]
implying that for the inverse-square case, there exists a conserved vector quantity given by
[tex]\displaystyle \boxed{\vec{A} = \vec{p} \times \vec{L} – mk\hat{r}.}[/tex]
This quantity is what we call the Laplace-Runge-Lenz (LRL) vector.
The equation for a circle in Cartesian coordinates is basically just Pythagoras:
[tex]\displaystyle x^2 + y^2 = a^2,[/tex]
alternatively written
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{a^2} = 1.[/tex]
We get an ellipse by stretching this circle along one of the axes until the length from the middle to the edge is [tex]b[/tex], thus:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1.[/tex]
You can derive this equation from the definition of the ellipse we gave earlier, that the distance from one focus [tex]F[/tex] to a point [tex]P[/tex] on the curve and back to the other focus [tex]F^\prime[/tex] is constant. It's a fun way to kill time on an airplane.
The distance from the center (the point where the major and minor axes cross) to either focus is some fraction of the semimajor axis [tex]a[/tex], call it [tex]ea[/tex]. The parameter [tex]e[/tex] is called the eccentricity. A bit of clever thinking shows that the distance from one focus to the far end of the ellipse and back to the other focus is just [tex]2a[/tex], and since we know that this distance must be the same for any point chosen on the ellipse, we can employ the Pythagorean Theorem again to write
[tex]\displaystyle b^2 + a^2e^2 = a^2.[/tex]
Our mission is to rewrite the ellipse's equation in polar coordinates. We're free to choose the origin of our coordinate system as we like it; because Kepler tells us that one focus of the ellipse has physical significance — the Sun is located there — we'll pick the focus on the positive x-axis as our origin. This means that when [tex] r = 0[/tex] in polar coordinates, [tex]x = ea[/tex] and [tex]y = 0[/tex]. Generally speaking,
[tex]\displaystyle x = ea + r\cos\theta,\ y = r\sin\theta.[/tex]
These will be our coordinate transformations from Cartesian to polar. Substituting them into our ellipse equation gives
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{(ea + r\cos\theta)^2}{a^2} + \frac{r^2\sin^2\theta}{b^2} = 1.[/tex]
Using the Pythagorean identity
[tex]\displaystyle \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1[/tex]
and the relationship
[tex]\displaystyle b = a\sqrt{1 – e^2},[/tex]
we can chug through some algebra it's not really worth writing out in detail to get, in the end, the equation
[tex]\displaystyle \boxed{\frac{1}{r} = \frac{1 + e\cos\theta}{a(1 – e^2)}.} [/tex]
This relates the radial distance from the focus of choice to the ellipse as a function of angle; the relationship is governed by the eccentricity [tex]e[/tex]. If the eccentricity is zero, then we recover the polar equation for the circle,
[tex] \displaystyle r = a. [/tex]
Because of the way cross products work, [tex]\vec{p}\times\vec{L}[/tex] is perpendicular to [tex]\vec{L}[/tex] and [tex]\vec{r}\times\vec{p}[/tex] is perpendicular to [tex]\hat{r}[/tex]. Together, these imply that [tex]\vec{A}[/tex] is orthogonal to [tex]\vec{L}[/tex]:
[tex]\displaystyle \vec{A}\cdot\vec{L} = 0.[/tex]
In other words, [tex]\vec{A}[/tex] has to be a vector in the plane of the planet's motion. We know from our work above that it is a fixed vector; because the radius vector [tex]\vec{r}[/tex] is always changing direction, the angle [tex]\vec{r}[/tex] makes with [tex]\vec{A}[/tex] must be changing. We can get at this angle by taking the dot product:
[tex]\displaystyle \vec{A}\cdot\vec{r} = Ar\cos\theta = \vec{r}\cdot(\vec{p}\times\vec{L}) – mkr.[/tex]
The combination of a vector dotted with a cross product is a familiar one, which we can manipulate by cyclic permutations, a result which follows naturally when the cross product is written in terms of the Levi-Civita tensor. In this form, the i-th component of the cross product is
[tex]\displaystyle (\vec{a}\times\vec{b})_i = \epsilon_{ijk} a_j b_k,[/tex]
so dotting this cross product with a third vector gives
[tex]\displaystyle \vec{c}\cdot(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}) = c_i \epsilon_{ijk} a_j b_k.[/tex]
We can cyclically permute the subscripts on the Levi-Civita symbol:
[tex]\displaystyle \epsilon_{ijk} c_i a_j b_k = \epsilon_{jki} c_i a_j b_k = \epsilon_{kij} c_i a_j b_k.[/tex]
Translating this back into our old language tells us that
[tex]\vec{c}\cdot(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}) = \vec{b} \cdot(\vec{c}\times\vec{a}).[/tex]
The upshot is that we can say
[tex]\displaystyle \vec{r}\cdot(\vec{p}\times\vec{L}) = \vec{L} \cdot (\vec{r}\times\vec{p}) = L^2,[/tex]
meaning that our dot product equation for the LRL vector becomes
[tex]\displaystyle Ar\cos\theta = L^2 – mkr.[/tex]
A bit of algebra gives us
[tex]\displaystyle \boxed{\frac{1}{r} = \frac{mk}{L^2} \left(1 + \frac{A}{mk}\cos\theta\right),}[/tex]
which is the equation for an ellipse of eccentricity [tex]A/(mk)[/tex]. The LRL vector [tex]\vec{A}[/tex] points from the focus to the perihelion of the elliptical orbit.
- Goldstein, Herbert, Charles Poole and John Safko (2002). Classical Mechanics: Third Edition. Chapter 3 covers central-force problems, and the LRL vector is in section 3.9.
- Wikipedia actually has a pretty good write-up on the LRL vector, at least at the moment.
- A general run-through on stuff elliptical can be found at PlanetMath.

School board member resigns; Sullivan to focus on statewide work
Kristy Sullivan of Redmond announced her resignation from the Snoqualmie Valley School District board of directors on Monday, Oct. 27.
Sullivan has served on the school board for the past 12 years, representing Fall City and surrounding areas in Director District 5.
"It has truly been an honor to serve on the school board. However, I believe it is time to allow someone with a fresh perspective and passion to share in the leadership of this outstanding district," Sullivan said through a statement released by the district.
Sullivan, who is also director of the Snoqualmie Valley Community Network, said she will focus on other work.
"There are some exciting opportunities now for me to be more engaged at the state level to advocate for coordinated school health issues and to promote wellness throughout our communities. I am very proud of what we have accomplished as a learning community in my 12 years of service and I look forward to a bright future for Snoqualmie Valley schools."
School District Superintendent Joel Aune praised the outgoing director.
"She is deeply committed to the youth of this community and has always kept them at the forefront of her work as a school board member. Her insight, experience, dedication and compassion will be missed," he said.
District policy stipulates that when a director resigns, the school board must take official action at its next meeting; the district anticipated that the board would accept Sullivan's resignation on Nov. 13.
The process and timeline for filling the vacancy will be on the district Web site, www.svsd410.org, and in local newspapers. Following a notice period, the remaining board members will appoint an applicant to serve as a replacement until the next regularly scheduled board election in November of 2009.
Board member Rudy Edwards recently announced that he will step down from the board in November of 2009, his 20th year of service.
Edwards represents Director District 1, but upon retiring from his career as a forest ranger, moved into District 2, which is represented by school board member Caroline Loudenback. Policy allows him to serve out the remainder of his term though he no longer resides in the sub-district he represents.

Your sinuses are chambers in your skull around your nose and eyes. They are filled with air. Sinusitis is an infection of these chambers, which causes them to become swollen or inflamed.
What to Expect
Many cases of sinusitis clear up on their own. Most of the time, you do not need antibiotics if your sinusitis lasts for less than 2 weeks. Even when you do use antibiotics, they may only slightly reduce the time you are sick.
Your health care provider is more likely to prescribe antibiotics if your sinusitis lasts longer than 2 weeks or recurs often.
Your provider may also refer you to an ear, nose, and throat doctor or an allergy specialist.
Symptom Relief
Keeping mucus thin will help it drain from your sinuses and relieve your symptoms. Drinking plenty of clear fluids is one way to do this. You can also:
- Apply a warm, moist washcloth to your face several times a day.
- Inhale steam 2 to 4 times a day. One way to do this is to sit in the bathroom with the shower running. Do not inhale hot steam.
- Spray with nasal saline several times per day.
Use a humidifier to keep the air in your room moist.
You can buy nasal sprays that relieve stuffiness or congestion without a prescription. They may help at first, but using them for more than 3 to 5 days can cause your symptoms to get worse.
To further relieve your symptoms, avoid:
- Flying when you are congested
- Very hot or very cold temperatures or sudden changes in temperature
- Bending forward with your head down
Allergies and Sinusitis
Allergies that are not well-controlled can make sinus infections harder to treat.
Antihistamines and nasal corticosteroid sprays are 2 types of medicine that work well for allergy symptoms.
You can do many things to limit your exposure to triggers, things that make your allergies worse.
- Reduce dust and dust mites in the home.
- Control molds, indoors and out.
- Avoid exposure to plant pollens and animals that trigger your symptoms.
Taking Antibiotics
Do not self-treat by taking leftover antibiotics you may have at home. If your health care provider prescribes antibiotics for your sinus infection, follow these general rules for taking them:
- Take all of the pills as prescribed, even if you feel better before you finish them.
- Always dispose of any unused antibiotic pills you may have at home.
Watch for common side effects of antibiotics, including:
- Skin rashes
- Diarrhea
- For women, yeast infection of the vagina (vaginitis)
Stay Healthy to Avoid Sinus Infections
Reduce stress and get enough sleep. Not getting enough sleep makes you more likely to get sick.
Other things you can do to prevent infections:
- If you smoke, stop.
- Avoid secondhand smoke.
- Get a flu shot every year.
- Wash your hands often, especially after shaking other people's hands.
- Treat your allergies.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if:
- Your symptoms last longer than 10 to 14 days
- You have a severe headache that does not get better when you use pain medicine
- You have a fever
- You still have symptoms after taking all of your antibiotics properly
- You have any changes in your vision
- You notice small growths in your nose

Well I had my profile and all my saves on a 16gb flash drive so I could go between my bedroom and living room xbox with ease. I must have pulled the thing out while it was still reading or something because now my usb drive seems to have no power, therefore I cannot access it.
Now, I have the means and the will to pay (way too much) for a recovery service because honestly my time is worth something but I have a question first... Is the xbox data on a hard-drive even viewable/usable on a computer? The service claims to be able to extract the files and let me download it. I just want to know if I did that would the data even be usable? Would I be able to put it on another hardrive and load it up on my xbox again?
Also I'm an American living abroad so I also have to ship my flashdrive off.
Thank you

A Commonwealth Court judge on Monday denied the Corbett administration's request to reconsider his ruling overturning the state's two-year-old voter identification law.
In a 29-page decision, Judge Bernard L. McGinley said the law requiring Pennsylvania voters to produce photo ID at the polls failed "to provide liberal access to compliant photo ID" and, as a result, disenfranchised voters.
"The evidence showed the voter ID provisions at issue deprive numerous electors of their fundamental right to vote, so vital to our democracy," wrote McGinley, who struck down the law in January.

A successful pulmonary embolectomy was performed on a patient in her first trimester of pregnancy. The 21-year-old patient was hypotensive and had severe right ventricular failure from 75% obstruction of the pulmonary arterial circulation by thrombus. After pulmonary embolectomy and caval interruption she was delivered of a normal infant.
The incidence of pulmonary embolism during pregnancy is probably greater than commonly recognized. Pulmonary embolism on cardiopulmonary bypass should be considered in the small group of patients in whom there is the combination of right ventricular failure, prolonged systemic hypotension despite medical therapy, and pulmonary obstruction greater than 50% documented by angiography.

quoted in Audie bock, Japanese Film Directors, p. 247
During war, the samurai thrives on killing, but in peacetime, it is his turn to die. in this violent yet poetic masterpiece, Masaki Kobayashi exposes the harsh code of honor the 17th century samurai. After an unemployed warrior is forced by a feudal lord to commit harakiri, his father in-law returns the scene, seemingly to play out the same agonizing suicide ritual. Tensions grow to excruciating levels until the thrilling climax , when the elder warrior strikes out one last time against the abusive society that crafted such cruelty. With stunning wide-screen cinematography and riveting performances, Harakiri achieves the power and passion of the world's greatest tragedies.

countering the naval 'sneak' attack
Your navy spots a large flotilla of ships heading toward your shores. the ships belong to an opponent which is annoyed with you and has made several demands which you ignored.
your pretty cirtain that the ships are an invation force heading toward one of your cities but you but its possible they are attacking some one else and you dont want to DoW on them because it would cause other civs to get negative diplomacy against you for declaring war on their friend.
how can you defend yourself?
Is there any way to code in a means of blocking the naval sneak attack... for example cant land troops the turn you declare war (allowing for any naval units in the area to fight off the enemy in a defensive battle. use of the "patrol" to attack any naval units in range if their civ declares war on you?
especially in the modern age the naval sneak attack is largly impossible because naval units on the open seas will block any large naval force from approaching home shores.... its one of the primary reasons why the US does not need a standing military at coastal cities.
but in CIV the only defence from the sneak attack are large forces in your cities (and hope that the AI uses a direct amphibious assault or expect a ground war.)
Im just wondering if there is a work around i dont know about or a way to mod in a counter.

I will often "shadow" AI naval stacks with Airships or subs... it's tedious but sometimes can save your bacon. When I see one coming my way, I check worst enemy status... active wars... who is able to declare on who, etc. That usually helps me determine if I'm the target, and buys time to prepare my land defenses.
Occasionally, you can position a ship or three (Destroyers, usually) in a place or places that will prevent the AI from landing their army on the next turn. An AI Galleon/Frigate force will often be unable to force its way past a single Destroyer. That too can sometimes buy time to assemble defenses... and sometimes, they'll declare without landing on the next turn (declare by violating closed borders).

thats the strategy i use. I mean... I dont split units because your not always in a situation where you have a bunch of destroyers and they are still in the age of sail.
still the only way to activly defend is to preemptive strike.
I play the better AI mod and find that if your build up defences the AI will sometime call off the attack... but more likley it will simply shift focus to an easier target.

Wether that's bad game design, or a deliberate "hole" in the game to improve the AI's chances, I could never decide. But it is extremely irritating. In Civ4, Hitler would have easily invaded Britain.
You suggested some workarounds. But IMO, the best one would be to give warships Zones of Control (ZoC), that can't be entered by hostiles forces. No more sailing right past the enemy fleet!
Even better would be to penalize landing troops by having them lose some organization. Unfortunately, Civ ignores this core concept as entirely as it ignores logistics.
And of course, amphibious attacks should cause a much more severe penalty. 50% is a joke. Should be at least 80%. And even marines should suffer at least a 50% one. There's a reason if operation Overlord was such a daunting venture, despite nearly total air and naval superiority, and despite the poor quality and preparation of the opposing forces...
Not to mention that you shouldn't be allowed to land on a hill.
But, hey! The wargame part of Civ has been simplistic since Civ1, and it's not going to change any time soon.

Check to see if they have "enough on their hands" on the declare war trade window.
Demand a peace treaty, but I don't really see how it's that bad if you just move your armies to your coastal cities, unless you're already at war.
I do think it's kinda stupid when the AI has like 10 galleons and you have 3 destroyers. You can't sink them all, because for some reason they run out of bullets or something.
But honestly I think it's fine, since that's how I usually invade them. Sneak attack raze capital, woot!

I'll give them 1 gold. Then they'll load their invasion force even if it isn't war, and I'll defend the closest unclaimed land, where they'll jump to once the DOW is made. Or you could just gift 1 gold each 10 turns.

Not be able to land on a hill? Why? The Marines did it many times in the pacific, those little one to two tiles islands that were mountainous... the hill is just the dominant terrain feature in the tile, it doesn't mean there can't be beaches!
And what about Pont Du Hoc!? Rangers lead the way.
I somewhat agree the penalty should be higher for amphib landings... but not 80%!

If you plan ahead, you can have some options to react when you see the armada coming your way: When you get Chemistry start cranking out Privateers, which, of course, can attack without declaring war. When you get combustion, upgrade your privateers to destroyers and keep them off the coast to see what is happening in advance. If you're pretty sure they're coming for you, and you can't work a peace treaty, you'll have to suck up the diplomacy hit, or bend over and take it. Either way, you can position your ships to make their landing more difficult: if declaring war while they are a few tiles off your coast you can position ships directly in front of them so they spend more movement points going around, or they have to suffer the lossed they'll take from the battles; if you refuse to declare war on them, you can position your ships close to your coast so that their direct access to your city is blocked, again requiring them to waste movement going around, or take losses trying to go through your forces.
This is an element I really enjoy, because it requires a more sophisticated strategy than the one-tile-at-a-time bit of carting your SOD to the enemies front gates.

I never use Privateers for commerce raiding/blockading, but if the game situation supports it, I will make some for anti-galleon duty. Usually I just use them to stop colonization on my continent or another open landmass, but if via a caravel I see sudden naval spam from an opposing problematic leader, I sometimes will spam more.
Hopefully, they launch the galleons before they have chemistry, because once a few Frigates come along, this becomes hammer ineffective quick (I actually had Ghengis throw 10-12 unescorted galleons worth of troops WHILE he was researching Chemistry. Bullet dodged). For whatever reason, the AI treats caravels as escort ships on pre-chem Sail era invasion fleets, which always screws them as the galleons defend first.
It actually doesnt take that many privateers to take out a good number of galleons assuming the ocean is large enough and you can hit them enough turns, and even 50% odds are ok when you are trading 1 ship for 1 ship and 3 knights. If you run out of ocean you can wait till the turn before the fleet will hit your borders, then beg gold for the 10 turn sheild, then privateerhammer the fleet while it tries to cruise somewhere else.
Long story short, if you can caravel-spy AI's ship production and get a warning when a fleet is getting spammed out and when it leaves, privateers can save you in sufficient numbers.
Once oil navies get online, good luck. I still lament that they didnt continue the privateer dynamic with submaries, as the logic involved is nonsensical. If youre sunk by a sailing ship with a jolly roger you can't figure out what country was behind it, but if you suddenly blow up due to a ship you cant see and cant imagine, somehow you can figure out who to declare war on...

I've used this to get a clear field to DOW on an AI with good buddies. First I ask each of his buddies for 1 gold. They are always happy to help out. Then I DOW on the target. I know that I will have ten turns with no other AI coming in as the target's ally.

funny how every one comments assuming some kind of best case scenario
If you have destroyers and they have age of sail...
if you have lots of privateers...
if you see them early enough in advance...
etc etc.
what if your totally even...
what if they have naval tech advantage....
what if you have not managed to picket the oceans with look outs yet...
the long story short is its a crappy failure in the game design that i wish had been addressed in one of the patches or expansions...
I would be happy with making the patrol feature engage stacks that are deploying troops... or something that makes enemy navies unable to land troops the first turn of war... or even naval zone of controll which i have no idea why that does not exist. (you should not need 3 stacks to block a city from direct attack when a blockade has a massive 7 tile range.)
I hope CIV 6 fixes this...
how does CIV 5 address it?

Hold on... why is this a broken part of the game?
Naval sneak attacks are very possible, especially in the periods before modern communication and observation devices.
Heck, Pearl Harbor was in 1941... Most people didn't see that coming, not like that.

I'm not convinced that my strategy is cost-effective, because more games than not my defensive navy isn't needed. However, it is fun to use it when it is.

amphibious assaults after the viking raids only happen when the attacking side has full naval control.
anyway.... no mater how you look at it. the defending navy would not sit there 1 or 2 "tiles" away as a huge naval armada casually floated up to its shores and launched an invation. the game should account for that.

I think it indeed is sufficed to say, that civ4 does not simulate this well.
it could be fixed by adding a zone control to ship, I would even go as far as 3x3 or 4x4 area

Good mascara for sensitive eyes?
I'm finding I can't wear most mascaras at all these days – my eyes start watering like crazy as soon as I put it on, and just keep doing that for hours, so I'm looking for recommendations from folks with similar problems, and perhaps comments about a couple of products in particular...

Preschooler sensitive about laughing

Communication between two hypersensitive, beanplating marshmallows
My boyfriend and I both hate making each other feel bad. Does this mean we can't talk about things that aren't going well? He in particular feels very hurt when I bring up things that are bothering me. [more inside]
Wiki platform for potentially confidential/sensitive data
Last year, I asked about a simple wiki platform for many users, and Wiki Spot sounded like a good fit. I slacked off, Wiki Spot is no longer accepting new accounts, and I have additional criteria: some level of security/hiding for confidential and/or sensitive data. Also, I have a Dreamhost account that I'm not utilizing, and DH has a number of wiki platforms that can be installed. Any suggestions for platforms to use or avoid?
Help me be more sensitive.
My mother and I fought (details inside) and I realized that I'm becoming a bit of a insensitive person when it comes to sharing feelings. I guess I don't realize when people just want to talk about how they feel and when they're actually looking for solutions. How do I learn this? [more inside]

Please make my foundation stop rejecting me!

Tender feet and toes...
okay, two fold question. My best friend (a petite woman) has always had really sensitive toes. If she stubs them, or anything falls on them, it hurts a lot, and she feels nauseous. Also, when doing yoga positions that require standing on one foot, the soles of her feet burn, or tingle. She is in great physical shape, age in the latter 50's, and does not have diabetes. Thoughts on any of this or all?

Should I return my stuff?
I ordered a product that can be damaged by heat. The company I ordered it from shipped it from Arizona, and as I just found out, did not include an ice pack with it. It's been in Arizona, where temps are over 100 for two days so far according to the tracking information. I'm thinking of returning it. Is this unnecessary?

How to get communicate with other guys
I am your stereotypical sensitive-male who has far more female than male friends. Communicating with women is absolutely no problem for me (and neither is romance). However I am and always have been rather inept at communicating with other men. I interpret things they say incorrectly, and they interpret what I say incorrectly, and the problem has just exacerbated itself over the course of my life. However, I'm just shy of 30 years old and not willing to give up quite yet on changing the patterns in my life. How can I learn to interact normally with other guys?

Debate rages about which teams are positioned to get into the NCAA tournament. Even the experts who pore over the numbers don't agree, and with Selection Sunday less than three weeks away, their projections are changing almost daily.
The bracketologist's challenge is to determine which aspects of a team's resume will be persuasive to the selection committee.
The fan's challenge is to determine which projections are credible. We have chosen the five used by reputable sports websites: ESPN.com, CBSSports.com, SI.com, Yahoo.com and NBCSports.com.
All but seven potential at-large teams are unanimously in or out of the 68-team field projected by those five bracketologists. We look at those seven along with three other teams whose seeding seems to be in flux.

Naomi Campbell continues to recuperate in a Sao Paulo, Brazil, hospital after doctors removed a small cyst earlier in the week, says a rep for the facility.
"We have been instructed to not release any information regarding Naomi," a Sirio Libanes Hospital spokeswoman told the Associated Press on Wednesday. "All I can tell you is that she is still at the hospital and that she is recovering very nicely."
On Tuesday, the British supermodel's London rep issued a statement saying, "Naomi Campbell was admitted to hospital [Monday night] to have a small cyst removed. Following the successful procedure, she is now resting and is looking forward to getting back to work. She would like to thank he doctors who have kindly looked after her."
On Wednesday, neither the hospital spokeswoman nor Campbell's publicist, Jeff Raymond, would say how long Campbell, 37, would remain hospitalized, though the Sirio Libanes rep said she was being cared for by David Uip, one of Brazil's leading experts in the treatment of infectious diseases.

No one superstar in WWE is bigger than the company itself, but with every pay-per-view, a few wrestlers find a way to make the spotlight shine on them.
WWE's latest pay-per-view, Payback, is no different from the rest. Tonight showcased a lot of talent in a lot of different ways, with a lot of twists and turns along the way.
John Cena retained his WWE Championship in a Three Stages of Hell match. Alberto Del Rio regained the World Heavyweight Championship with a new-found and brutal edge. The Shield held on to their respective titles. Sheamus kicked the event off quite literally with a Brogue Kick victory.
But when it comes down to it, who were the stars of the event that rose above all the rest and truly became the focal points of the night?
For the purposes of this article, the choices will be made based on the criteria of two main attributes: match quality and storyline progression importance in order of appearance.

If you're still waiting to crank up the heat in your home, there's good news if you use oil: prices are going down.
And there's good news if you use gas. Its cost remains well below the cost of oil.
It's November and a lot of people are filling up the oil tanks.
"Naturally as the price of fuel comes down, it's better for us as a company, because it's better for my customers," said Tony Malandra, president of Yeager's Fuel, Inc.
The price for crude oil has been going down for months now according to Tony Malandra, president of Yeager's Fuel in Allentown.
Experts say concerns over a global slowdown are driving the price of oil lower.
Currently the average price of home heating oil is $3.81 per gallon, 19 cents lower than this time last year according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The national average price for natural gas in 2013 has been higher than 2012, but locally UGI projects the price of gas this winter will be comparable to last winter's prices.
"There are a couple of reasons why gas trended up a little bit earlier this year," said Joseph Swope, communications manager for UGI Utiliies, Inc. "There was a late winter which drained the gas storage and drove prices up for a little while."
But Swope says prices have moderated since then. And thanks largely to the hydraulic fracturing revolution, the cost of natural gas is dramatically lower than it was five years ago.
Swope says UGI's proximity to the Marcellus Shale formations in Pennsylvania means UGI has access to gas at lower prices than the national average.
"The price of fuel, and the price of the two energies it's kind of cyclical," added Malandra. "If heating oil is so high and natural gas is so low, sooner or later they have to balance out."
"The price of fuel will change," said Malandra. "I don't know what it's going to change to, but that's a guarantee the price of fuel will change and hopefully it will drop."
So whether you heat with oil or gas, there's reason to be thankful about prices this winter.

FTM baby questions
It seriously depends with each baby. My daughter fit in newborn clothes till she was 6 weeks, then 0-3 until she was 3 months then 3-6 till 6. It was a pattern. Now she is turning 3 in December but has been in 3t all summer, my little chunky monkey :) I can't even remember diapers, but I do know she was in size 4 the longest.
CDing SAHM that has GOLD B(-)(-)BIES.
My son was always big..off by about 6 months in clothes, by 1 year he was in 18 months and by 18 months he was in 24 months and by the time he turned 2 I was buying 3t pants and 4t shirts. I don;t remember diaper sizes though :( sorry
Colton David 06/13/2010, Angel 04/14/2012 <3, Our Sweet Angel Lily born too soon 9/17/2012 <3, Emelia Marie 9/29/13 <3
I agree with others who say it just depends on the kid. There is absolutely no way to predict! Even my four kids (with the same two parents) have been completely different from one another.
Kid 1: 8 lb 11 oz, 20 inches. NB diapers for 2-3 weeks, then went to size 1 for about 2 months I think. Started out in 0-3 month clothes (probably could have worn NB but 0-3 were fine, just a little big at first) for about two months, then wore 3-6 month clothes from 2-4 months.
Kid 2: 5 lb 3 oz, 17.5 inches. Preemie diapers until 2 weeks, NB diapers until 2 months. Wore preemie clothes until 2 months, skipped NB and wore 0-3 until 4 months. 3-6 month clothes until 8 or 9 months.
Kid 3: 10 lb 6 oz, 23.5 inches. Size 1 diapers (NB gave him major plumber butt!) until three or four weeks, then size 2. No NB or 0-3 clothes, his torso was too long. He came home from the hospital in 3-6 month clothing and was in 6-12 month clothes by 2 months.
Kid 4: 10 lb 8 oz, 21 inches. Don't know about diapers because we used cloth with him. Pretty sure his butt would have been too big for NB, though. He did wear 0-3 month clothes at first, for about six weeks or so, before we moved up to 3-6.
Kid 5: ??????????? I am not going to make any guesses about this one! :)

DSD13(step daughter/Full custody), DD12, DD9, DS6, DD4, Angel baby 5-25-07
Isabelle (Bella) Rose, Due 2-22-13
My ds was 9lbs. 13oz. (we weren't expecting that large of a baby either) he never fit into newborn diapers and the 0-3 month outfit we thought would fit to take him home in was too small!! He's always been at least one to two sizes above what "he should be". From what I remember we only went through one package of size 1 diapers. Oh, and different diaper brands fit differently and it depends on your lo's bum. We went through many brands to find one that fit well and didn't leak.
Now ds is 2 and has been wearing 3t since last fall. Their grow seems to slow down once they are around 2 years old.
anyone who isn't confused around here doesn't really understand what's going on.
Also, Gerber brand runs small. So if buy that brand of Onesies, just know that they will last less time, size wise, than say Carter brand. They are cheaper, usually, but you'll need bigger sizes than you think.
I would probably just buy one package of Newborn diapers and then buy size 1. If you need more newborn, you can send someone to get them.

Juliana born 2/13/10 7lbs 9oz
Joseph Jr born 2/19/13 7lbs 14oz
ODS was 8.5 lbs at birth but gained slowly at first. He started in newborn clothes and diapers. We switched to size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes around 1 month old. He then followed along with age until 3 when 3T was still a bit large.
DD was also 8.5 at birth but is a chunk and loves to eat. She's consistently in clothes a month or two before she reaches the age.
YDS was 7 pounds at birth and needed preemie clothes for a few weeks. He'll be a year old on Monday and still wears size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes.

Lompico Residents Under Tight Water Rationing Restrictions
Homeowners are recycling water for dishes and plants
LOMPICO, Calif. - Many counties are making a push to conserve water. But one community has it really rough. Fewer than 500 people live in the Lompico area of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Yet there's not enough water to serve them. On Thursday night we found out what the community is facing and how they're getting by in phase 3 mandatory water rationing.
Some are collecting run off in buckets to water their plants and saving every last drop to watch dishes with recycled water.
"Flush every third time, unless you need to flush, don't run the dishwasher unless the dishwasher is completely full," said Lompico resident Steve Vizena.
"I mean we always have a problem with water. But nothing like this," said Lompico County Water District board president Lois Henry.
Henry said it's a little frightening to be on a list with 16 other communities around the state, who are dealing with a severe lack of water.
The California Department of Public Health said it's going to work with communities like Lompico on conservation measures and to identify any nearby water resources. Herny said on Thursday she filled out an application to possibly get help from the San Lorenzo Water District.
"If we had a fire, if we have a big line break or if we lose -- we have one well that's not working well and if we lose it totally, we just aren't going to have enough water," Henry said.
Some residents we spoke with said they have faith the water board will figure it out, while others have their doubts.
"I think the funds that should have been there to take care of the situation aren't, so yeah I'm kind of concerned about it," Vizena said.
The water district isn't sure when it'll get a response to it's request for emergency water.
