I don't make many baby cards. In fact, I have very few "baby" type stamps because my friends are all past their baby-making stages, and are now heavily into child rearing, pre-teen-itis, and terrible teens. My own children have either adopted children or haven't started their families yet, so no babies on the horizon there. My cousins are all done having kids, and so that leaves...the children of my cousins! Man, that really makes one feel old when you see this person who, though it seems like yesterday, you saw crawling around in diapers themselves, are now changing the diapers of their children.
I recently have reconnected with one of my second cousins at Christmas time, and she mentioned that she was pregnant with her fourth child (yikes). I didn't give it much thought until I received pictures of her newest cutie pie, Sara, who was born on the 5th of January! Well, like I said, I don't make many baby cards, so I really had to scramble to come up with something that I could send to her in a hurry. This is what I came up with. I hope she likes it, and for something that I threw together in about 20 minutes, I like it too! Mission accomplished!

Can You Pass The Good Mother Test?Sierra Black
British pundit Oliver James has written a splashy new parenting book called "How Not to F*** Them Up".
If you're the kind of parent who keeps a "therapy jar" to help pay for the damage you're sure you're somehow causing to your child's developing mind, this is the book for you. In addition to a book, he provides a helpful quiz so you can rate your own performance.
After the incendiary title, James uses loads of scientific research to back up his claims, James lays out what a good mother should do during the first three years of her child's life.
Instead of encouraging women to know themselves through their own creative tools, though, he's urging moms to identify themselves with one of several 'types' he's identified through reviews of scientific research and (I love this) interviewing moms on the Internet. Are you a hugger? An organizer? What's your mom-type? Is there one for "Thinks She's Smarter Than Some Dude When It Comes To Raising Her Kids"? That would be my type.
This reminds me of the personality quizzes my friends were into back in college, when we were young and foolish and imagined that you could tell a lot about a person by answering a multiple choice quiz and assigning them a category. Grow up.
As the Times review points out, reading this book can make a mom feel pretty bad about herself. Which is the opposite of the author's stated intention.
Here are James' seven points of good motherhood.
- Avoid daycare. James' cites piles of research indicating that daycare for the under 3 set is bad for kids' social development.
- Don't leave your kids for long periods. This means no cry-it-out, and no vacations alone while the kid plays at grandma's.
- Avoid "time outs". Like Alfie Kohn and other progressive parenting experts, James' advocates a gentle approach to discipline that avoids punishment in favor of reason and redirection.
- Avoid stress during pregnancy. Maternal stress, James argues, can damage children long past birth. Surely, reading this book won't contribute to any expecting mom's stress levels.
- Don't blame the kids. Kids under 3 are extremely malleable. Don't assume that their genes, or their willful intentions or whatever are causing them to misbehave. Probably they really don't know better.
- Don't expect good manners. Kids tune into apologies, thank yous, and the like around preschool age. Don't worry if your toddler is an appalling brat who won't say he's sorry.
- Go ahead and spoil them. Give them the hug or the food or the nap they clearly need and they'll be their charming selves again quickly. James' believes there's no such thing as too much snuggling.
- Don't let them snack on sweets. Spoil them with love, not sugar, to preserve their long-term health.
How do you fare?

Annual Fred Grimes tournament honours tireless volunteer
© Submitted photo
From left, the late Fred Grimes' great-grandson Tyler Anthony, son Dave, and player Matthew Stuckless from the St. John's Icemen participated in the ceremonial puck drop to kick off the annual Fred Grimes Memorial Bantam Tournament on the weekend. Three generations of Grimes' were involved in this year's tournament, honouring the memory of long-time volunteer Fred Grimes.
At two decades running, the Fred Grimes Memorial Bantam Tournament in Grand Falls-Windsor has been around almost as long as its namesake volunteered with minor hockey.
Each year hundreds of players from across the province come to the central town to participate in what's become a very well-known invitational event. This year saw 300 players and 17 teams from Springdale to St. John's compete for top honours in the A and B divisions.
This year's tournament co-chair Mark Anthony has a connection to Fred Grimes. He is Grimes' grandson and this was his first year as a chair for the tournament.
Anthony said he felt his involvement was a great opportunity to highlight some achievements of his grandfather and this year, more than ever, he felt the opening ceremonies paid due homage to a great man.
"My grandfather was heavily involved in sports when he was a child, and when he could no longer participate he focused his attention on the youth, especially minor hockey," Anthony said.
For more than 25 years Grimes worked tirelessly as a volunteer, and for his hard work and dedication he received much recognition and respect, Anthony said.
"For his service to minor hockey he was made a life member of the Grand Falls-Windsor Minor Hockey Association years ago. He also got awards from the Canadian Amateur Hockey association. Grimes was also named the very first Grand Falls citizen of the year in 1976.
"I was proud of it because it's my grandfathers tournament, my focus was as much on the opening ceremonies as I did on anything else for the weekend," Anthony said, adding there were a number of great speeches from fellow volunteers and various representatives at the ceremony.
"We had Ken Dicks on behalf of Grand Falls-Windsor Minor Hockey, he had a real nice speech at the opening ceremonies," Anthony said. "Ken has memories from when he was a kid of my grandfather helping out at the stadium with the jerseys and stuff like that each and every Saturday morning."
Anthony said volunteerism runs in the family, Grimes' son Dave has also been a volunteer with minor hockey for almost two decades.
"Pop Grimes lived in the stadium.... just like Uncle Dave does now," Anthony said.
Dave, as well as Grimes' great-grandson who played in the tournament with Grand Falls-Windsor, were both involved in the ceremonial puck drop.
Anthony noted that with his own involvement and his son's participation as a player, this year's event saw three generations of Grimes take part in his grandfather's tournament.
The gameplay
Exploits teams had a great showing at the event, taking three of the six medals awarded.
Exploits Bantam A Cataracts took silver in the A division, losing 6-4 to a team from Corner Brook in the championship game. Springdale ended up with the bronze.
In the B division, Bishop's Falls took gold, beating Gander in the championship game. The Exploits Bantam B Cataracts took bronze in that division.
Anthony said feedback from the participating teams was nothing but positive, and said the sportsmanship displayed at the tournament was top-notch.
"We get a lot of comments from visiting teams and coaches of visiting teams about how well our kids did on and off the ice," he said.
Anthony said each year the tournament is made possible only with the help of many dedicated volunteers. He said his co-chair Penney Wells was also a big part of organizing and executing the event.
"People are pretty good when something needs to be done. People just pitch in and help out and everything pretty much falls into place."

We all have a story. What's yours? Submit your damn story!Submit Story
Allow me set the scene, if you would. I'm a girl. I am a high school student. I live in a small, conservative, REALLY Christian town. And I am very much bisexual.
I figured it out during junior high, but I didn't tell any of my friends until the end of my freshman year. Most of them didn't really care – as long as I was happy, they were happy. The only one who did care was radically Christian – like, 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." She just walked away without a word to me.
The next day I found out that she had told just about everyone she could.
Now I have nothing against Christians. I just have a thing against someone telling everyone at school that, and I quote, "a gay (was) in (their) midst" and that "they should pray for (me) to come to (my) senses." I started getting bullied – called things like 'fag' and taunted between classes, and shoved into doors and lockers. None of my friends were in my classes, so I had no one to turn to during school. Eventually I just couldn't take it anymore.
I began falling into these fits of depression. Everything just ached, so I took pain pills almost every day. I started cutting myself. My grades began to slip. All of my friends knew that something was wrong, but they didn't press the matter when I told them that I was alright. My parents questioned me, but they wouldn't see what they didn't want to see, and just sent me to a psychiatrist – which, by the way, didn't help at all. If anything it just got worse.
I know it's not the worst story, but no one should have to suffer like I do. So I bear my scars with dignity, because I know that there are some people the DO give a damn- they just have to act on it.

It's been written in newspapers, broadcast on television, and journaled in healthcare magazines across the country and around the world — the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System. "The robot is just an instrument that is connected to our hands, just like any instrument except it's connected by wires instead of directly to our hands," explains Dr. Paul DiGiorgi, a cardiothoracic surgeon on the medical staff of Lee Memorial Health System.
Surgeons, with the assistance of the robot, can perform intricate heart procedures and treat urological cancers. Known for its extreme precision, it's these fingers that do some of the work. "Unlike any other instrument that we use in the operating room, these instruments have small hands at the end of the instrument which can move in any direction. That allows us to have an incredible amount of dexterity in a very small space that you couldn't do in any other way."
A camera is also inserted and records the movements while broadcasting the images to screens stationed around the operating room. But these hands aren't the only ones doing the work. Seated at this console, the surgeon uses his hands to maneuver the robotic arms. "You don't feel what's going on, although you see it in 3d so the increased visualization makes up for the fact that you don't have a tactile sense," says Dr. DiGiorgi. "But actually, the more you use the robot, you can see and almost feel through the controls when it's struggling, if it's hitting something."
While surgeons praise the robot for its help in the operating room, patients also benefit as well. Since the procedure is minimally invasive, that means less scarring, less pain, and a quicker recovery.

Sansevieria trifasciata is a species of Sansevieria, native to tropical west Africa from Nigeria east to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is an Evergreen Herbaceous Perennial plant forming dense stands, spreading by way of its creeping Rhizome, which is sometimes above ground, sometimes underground. Its stiff leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding and usually range between 70–90 cm in length and 5–6 cm in width.
It is commonly called the snake plant (not to be confused with the very similarly named "Snakeplant", Nassauvia serpens), because of the shape of its leaves, or mother-in-law's tongue because of their sharpness. In China, it is known as hǔwěilán (虎尾兰, Tiger's Tail Orchid). In Japan, it is called 'Tiger's Tail,(とらのお)'. In Brazil, it is commonly known as espada-de-são-jorge (sword-of-saint-george). Due to its blade-like shape, it is commonly associated with Ogun, the Orisha of war (usually associated with Saint George), and is used in rituals to remove the evil eye. A yellow-tipped variant is known as espada-de-santa-barbara (sword-of-saint-barbara), and is associated with Iansan/Oya, the female Orisha of storms (usually associated with the sword-bearing image of Saint Barbara). In Africa, the plant is used as a protective charm against evil or bewitchment.
Cultivation and uses
It is now used predominantly as an Ornamental plant, outdoors in warmer climates, and indoors as a Houseplant in cooler Climates. It is popular as a houseplant as it is tolerant of low light levels and irregular watering; during winter it needs only one watering every couple of months. It will rot easily if overwatered. A study by NASA found that it is one of the best plants for improving indoor air quality by passively absorbing toxins such as Nitrogen oxides and Formaldehyde.
Numerous Cultivars have been selected, many of them for variegated foliage with yellow or silvery-white stripes on the leaf margins. Popular cultivars include 'Compacta', 'Goldiana', 'Hahnii', 'Laurentii', 'Silbersee', and 'Silver Hahnii'.
It can be propagated by cuttings or by dividing the rhizome. The first method has the disadvantage that the Variegation is likely to be lost.
S. trifasciata is considered by some authorities as a potential weed in Australia, although widely used as an ornamental, in both the tropics outdoors in both pots and garden beds and as an indoor plant in temperate areas.[1]

1) Do I have to uninstall Apache too? Not, right?
2) How about Perl?

them before? All of them, or just the Apache related ones?
4) And how to uninstall mod_perl?

I'm going to come clean here and admit something that I am not very proud of. Over the past month or so I have produced an overwhelming amount of non-paleo, non-glutenfree, full sugar, overly creamfilled, milk chocolate loving desserts. Real talk. I fell off the paleo baking wagon and I fell hard. I made the unfortunate decision of looking past my well loved coconut nectar flour and falling into the contraband arms of plain ol granulated sugar delights.
Many things contributed to this but a sense of instant gratification and approval from the people who consume my treats are the main culprits. It's true that a "regular" donut may have more instant curb appeal to my bevy of roommates causing me to lose sight of the paleo ideals that led me to the path of health in the first place. Do I want to slowly contribute to the decline of health in my roommates and loved ones? Probably not. But that is partly what I was doing when I set out constant plates of chocolate chip cookies, reeses peanut butter cakes, and cranberry white chocolate hooty creek cookies.
So I took it upon myself to reinvigorate my passion for paleo baking. I love all things dark chocolate and coconut so Paleo Almond joy cookies seemed like a perfect candidate for the "cookie that will win them all over." I decided that baking at my mother's house would be a better choice as my kitchen is unfortunately located on the lowest level of the house that gets just as much natural light as a medieval dungeon, which is not very conducive to baking pictures. Unfortunately I forgot that my mother tends not to stock basic Paleo baking ingredients in her home. After a trip to the new Fremont whole foods (which to be honest was hard to leave) I stacked my coconut oil, almond flour, almond butter and enjoy life chocolate chips on the counter and got down to business.
The recipe was fairly straight-forward, I must say the hardest part was waiting for the cookies to cool before dipping them in the chocolate ganache. (ok if Im going to be honest the hardest part was not dipping my finger in the ganache to taste the chocolate deliciousness).
It began simple enough, combine the honey and almond butter in the microwave and stir until well combined. It looked delicious enough at that point. After adding the egg and almond milk into the wet ingredients I did the tried and true method of combining the wet with the dry and everything seemed a little bit too wet. Originally the recipe called for a cup of coconut flour. I ended up getting almond flour in my whole foods trip fiasco so I ended up using about two cups of the almond flour to get the desired consistency.
After baking for about nine minutes (my mother's oven runs extremely hot- a lesson I keep re-learning after burning the bottoms of just about every cookie I make there). I took out those puppies and boy did they look fluffy and delicious. And they were. Of course I needed to do a bit of quality control before adding the ganache.
Give or take twenty minutes those treats were ready to swim in a bath of chocolate ganache and be topped with toasted coconuts.
Even my mom, who says she loves all of my baking because she is my mother and fills the loving and encouraging role well, was impressed by these. With my mom's approval I was ready to take these cookies home and try them out on the tough audience of my roommates. I set out a box with a loving little note and sure enough the stack of cookies disappeared in record time.
I had succeeded! One of my roommates let me know that I am convincing her to like coconut which she had previously despised.
These cookies are a simple way to invigorate or re-invigorate yourself and your loved ones on a path to healthy (er) eating. Because who doesn't like chocolate and coconut?!
Happy Baking!

Significance and Use
5.1 This test method provides a means for obtaining useful in-service fluid analysis properties in the field. It is not to be confused with laboratory or portable FTIR devices which provide measurements per the existing Test Methods listed in 22.214.171.124. Each of these monitored properties has been shown over time to indicate either contamination in the fluid system or a particular breakdown modality of the fluid, which is critical information to assess the health of the fluid as well as the machinery. By utilizing the field device, it is possible for those operating machinery, in locations and situations where it is not practical to gather a sample for the laboratory, to obtain quality in-service fluid analysis. This may be due to the need to have an analysis done in real-time, on-the-spot to maximize the operational hours of equipment, or to have the analysis performed at a location where no laboratory analysis is available.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method describes the use of a grating spectrometer to analyze properties of an in-service fluid sample which are indicative of the status of that fluid and related machinery.
1.2 This test method provides a means for the assessment of in-service fluid properties using infrared spectroscopy. It describes a methodology for sampling, performing analysis, and providing key in-service fluid properties with a self-contained unit that is meant for field use. It provides analysis of in-service fluids at any stage of their useful life, including newly utilized fluid.
1.3 In particular, these key in-service fluid properties include oxidation, nitration, sulfation, soot, and antiwear additives. They are applicable for hydrocarbon type (API Group I-IV) fluids from machinery lubricants, including reciprocating engine oils, turbine oils, hydraulic oils, and gear oils.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4.1 Exception—The unit for wavenumbers is in cm-1.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

The Liberty Square Riverboat has been under "refurbishment" since last year. I use the term refurbishment lightly, last year it was running during daylight hours but could not run at night due to the amount of power it took to run all the lights on the boat. Is this what they are still working on?
Again? It was down when we were there in January!

Think she's a Carrie or a Samantha?
Miley Cyrus, who currently stars in the squeaky clean Hannah Montana, says she images another kind of television show to add to her growing resume.
"I'd love to do a younger, cleaner version of Sex and the City, the star, 15, tells TV Guide. Adds Cyrus: "I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand."
But don't expect too racy a concept.
Cyrus wears a purity ring like her friends the Jonas Brothers. "Even at my age, a lot of girls are starting to fall," Cyrus says. "And I think if [staying a virgin] is a commitment girls make, that's great."
Besides, Cyrus has seen her share of controversy this year following her much discussed photo spread for Vanity Fair. Still, the singer says she tries to keep a level head about everything.
"I want to be a positive role model, so we just try to keep [that stuff] as much not talked about as possible," she says. "I don't dwell on the negativity."
Up next for the young star: her film Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert airs on the Disney channel on July 26.

2 Carat Diamond Rings
The carat isn't the only thing you should consider when searching for the perfect diamond ring. While it's certainly important, it's not the only thing that makes the ring. The three other C's include clarity, color, and cut. A colorless diamond with little to no flaws and a flawless cut is what you should look for when shopping for a 2 carat diamond ring. If you are buying for somebody who likes a lot of razzle-dazzle, then expect to pay in the five figure range. Even if you choose a simple cut rather than brilliant, you still need to consider the setting. A 2 carat diamond ring needs at least an 18K gold or platinum setting to provide a lot of dazzle. The most popular cuts are heart shaped, round brilliant, and princess. If you're buying for a classy lady who prefers wearing vintage jewelry, an Asscher or emerald cut will be a great choice. Whatever type of 2 carat diamond ring you choose, you will love the price and beauty of your King of Jewelry purchase.

Forty-four years ago, Bob Dylan released an album with the incendiary title "While the Establishment Burns." That could serve as a metaphor for what seems to be happening to the Washington establishment in general and the Republican Party establishment in particular.
The Tea Party Express roared through several primary elections last Tuesday, shaking the foundations of the Republican and media establishments. In a remarkable exchange on Sean Hannity's Fox show, Karl Rove, George W. Bush's "architect" within the political establishment, said that Delaware Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell can't win in November. He then gave the Democrats enough negative sound bites about O'Donnell for them to use in their TV ads for far-left Democratic Senate candidate Chris Coons.
The days when it was more important to preserve party over principles, as O'Donnell put it in an election night interview with CNN, may be coming to an end. Conservatives are tired of being taken for granted and their agenda ignored by the Republican establishment, especially when those they vote for get in power and too often vote with Democrats. If ever there was a Republican in name only, it is Rep. Mike Castle, a 40-year incumbent whom O'Donnell defeated. Tea Partiers think their candidates have convictions that matter to them and they are refusing to put party first.
The full force of the Washington and media establishments will now be brought to bear on O'Donnell and other Republicans identified as Tea Party candidates or just strong conservatives. "Fringe" and "extreme" are just some of the labels that are already being applied to them. They will also be called "ignorant wing nuts," and in O'Donnell's case loaded with "too much baggage." Who is free of baggage, including several current and former members of Congress?
Conservative candidates should ignore it all and tell voters: "You elected this president and this Congress to bring change to Washington. They haven't, so we need to change them if we truly want to transform the country and return it to its founding principles, among which are living within our means."
This nation needs an occasional turnover, even revolution, not only to "throw the bums out," but also to reboot the system and remind ourselves of what America was designed to be and what we have instead become. The establishment won't go quietly because they have large amounts of turf to protect, so they must be dislodged, evicted, even burned out in a metaphorical sense.
The big media treated the anti-establishment rebellion of the '60s as something good. They will treat this attempt to overthrow the establishment as something bad, mainly because they are now the establishment. When Dylan sang, "The Times They Are A-Changin'," the pot-smoking, free love, anti-establishment hippies sang with him. If overcoming the establishment then was a great idea (it wasn't in view of what and who replaced it), overcoming today's establishment is a better one.
The establishment hates people it can't control and who are not beholden to those who run it. Conservative candidates who are scoring well understand this is a contest between the Washington establishment and the rest of the country. The establishment has one set of interests and the country has another. The conservatives are beholden to the people. The establishment is beholden only to itself and those it chooses to admit to the inside-the-beltway inner circle.
Conservatives can now sing Dylan's lyrics. This verse especially resonates:
"Come senators, congressmen please heed the call.
Don't stand in the doorway; don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside and it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'."
To put it perhaps less elegantly: step aside establishment, or conservatives will step right over you.

A bad season just got worse for Tampa Bay Lightning left winger Ryan Malone.
Malone was arrested at 5:40 a.m. ET Saturday in Tampa on charges of driving under the influence and possession of cocaine.
Police reportedly witnessed Malone hit a curb while trying to make a left turn from the center lane.
After pulling him over, police determined that Malone was operating the vehicle while impaired and proceeded to arrest him.
He allegedly had a packet of cocaine in the rear pocket of his pants which police discovered while processing him for arrest.
"We are aware of the situation concerning Ryan Malone this morning," general manager Steve Yzerman said in a statement. "Ryan will not travel with the team to Washington today, but beyond that we cannot comment further at this time."
The next step for Malone, as far as the NHL is concerned, is a mandatory evaluation by the NHL/NHLPA Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program and, potentially, treatment.
"His future playing status, both in the near term and during the Playoffs, will be determined in accordance the terms of our SABH Program," deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a released statement.
Malone was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail overnight and released on $2,500 bond at 9:56 a.m. ET Saturday, according to the arrest report.
Malone, 34, has five goals and 10 assists in 57 games, but the Lightning have the third-best record on the NHL's Eastern Conference. He didn't play in Friday's home game or in any game since April 5.
Booking information showed Malone's blood-alcohol content was 0.112 and 0.116. The legal limit in Florida is 0.08.

Get Certified as a VA Builder
Our branch recently financed a client who was purchasing a condo in Wisconsin. Although the Loan Officer had already gone through the process of getting the complex VA Approved with another client, this particular unit was considered new construction as it had never been occupied.
The underwriter for this file required I obtain a "VA Builder ID number" which the builder did not have. I have attached the documents required to approve any builder through VA. I hope this is useful to anyone that comes across this situation.
All properties designated as "new," "proposed," or "under" construction (not just condos) must have a valid builder identification number on file with the VA.
You can check to see if you are already a VA Approved Builder by searching here:
If you are not yet approved, you will need to complete the following 3 documents. Once the forms have been completed, fax all documents to your local VA Regional Loan Center. You will have to contact the Construction and Valuation unit of your local VA Regional Loan Center (click the link to get the phone number) from your area and ask for their fax number.
1. VA Form 26-421, Equal Employment Opportunity Certification (PDF)
2. VA Form 26-8791, VA Affirmative Marketing Certification (PDF)
In addition, you must complete, on your own letterhead, the certifications found on the following form:
3. VA Builders Certification (PDF)
3. VA Builders Certification (Word Document .doc)
All condominium projects must be approved by VA. For VA condominium approval information, please contact us. The condopudbuilder website can also be accessed for verification of condominium projects previously approved or accepted for VA home loan purposes. The VA does not perform or accept "spot approvals" in condominium projects.

The VA mortgage program is available to eligible Veterans only.

By Emily Wagster Pettus/The Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant says he'll reveal detailed policy proposals during his first State of the State address.
The speech is set for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday on the south steps of the state Capitol, weather permitting.
Bryant says he plans to develop details for some issues he discussed briefly during his Jan. 10 inaugural address, including pursuing job creation, changing the state budget process and strengthening education.
Bryant spokesman Mick Bullock says Bryant has given Department of Human Services director Rickey Berry 30 days to develop a plan to reduce Mississippi's teen pregnancy rate, long one of the highest in the nation.
Bullock says Bryant believes doctors, schools, businesses and churches also need to identify teen pregnancy "as an activity more dangerous than smoking."

Best press release ever. If this really came from Sigma, I may even buy a lens from them.
I've being looking for a left handed lense cleaner for some time. Will it work with a analogue lense on a digital body ?
British humour at it's best!
If only all press releases were as entertaining :)
This is a genuine press release from Sigma UK - cross my heart. They must have have had a few spare hours to write it.
Now, if only this article could get Slashdotted...
This article is silly. You could get away with it on April Fool's Day, but otherwise it's not appropriate for a serious technology news site.
Very impressive to incorporate finally the remarkable low energy (LE)technology in a cleaning cloth. Have been waiting long for this!
It's nice to see that manufacturers have a sense of humor; however,
they also need to use this approach in a responsible manner, which
Sigma has not done. By facetiously suggesting their lens cloth could
be used as a tissue backup, Sigma may have unwittingly introduced
a potentially harmful situation by neglecting to include the disclaimer
that further use of the cloth for lens cleaning would be ill-advised.
I would have to agree with Jonathan, this is a technical website, and
an inappropriate place for humor.
some people will always taste lemons even when having nectar. You understand what its about (obviously to complain). Relax and get a life and enjoy lifes treats when they happen.
Love the color, I'll order 2 ea. if they are bed sheet, King Sized!

But recently I was feeling bad about myself when she "debuted" her post-baby body. She looked stunning – as always! – and I found myself looking down at my midsection and making comparisons. That's what society has programmed us to do, right? Compare our imperfections to the seemingly perfect bodies of others?

I didn't anticipate having a c-section the first time around, so I wasn't really prepared. I remember asking my mom to run out and pick me up the tallest granny panties she could find! After experiencing two c-sections now, I've discovered that there are five things that are essential to recovery.
I Made The Right Decisions
My second pregnancy brought about a lot of decisions that I needed to make. Considering my history of postpartum depression, emergency cesarean and hyperemesis, there were some difficult choices I had to make.
Taking Antidepressants as a Precaution
This time around, I was under the care of a psychiatrist. I wanted to seek out the advice of someone whose sole focus was psychotropic medication. After the horrific experience I had coming off of the last antidepressant, which was prescribed by the nurse practitioner in my former OBGYN clinic, I wasn't going to take any chances.
Sibling Gifts
I wrote this post before we were surprised by Baby Jo's early arrival. Thankfully, C absolutely adores his sister!
C's reaction to meeting Baby Deuce is going to go one of two ways:
1. "Oooo, baby!" *cue soft petting of baby's head and attempt to kiss her*
The One and Only Thing I (Might) Miss About Pregnancy
And by miss it, I mean I might miss this. A Little. If I ever stop getting excited about not being pregnant long enough to think about this, then maybe I'd miss it.
I might miss having my hand resting nonchalantly on my ginormous baby bump and feeling a tiny little foot rub all the way across my belly. It's simultaneously the weirdest and coolest thing ever.

Mary Murphy (January 26, 1931 – May 4, 2011) was an American film and television actress of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
Murphy was born in Washington, D.C., and spent most of her early childhood in Cleveland, Ohio. Her father, James Victor Murphy, died in 1940. Shortly afterwards, she and her mother moved to Southern California. While working as a package wrapper at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills, she was signed to appear in films for Paramount Pictures in 1951.[1]
She first gained attention in 1953, when she played a good-hearted girl who is intrigued by Marlon Brando in The Wild One. The following year, she appeared opposite Tony Curtis in Beachhead, and with Dale Robertson in Sitting Bull, and the year after that as Fredric March's daughter in the thriller The Desperate Hours, which also starred Humphrey Bogart. She co-starred with actor-director Ray Milland in his Western A Man Alone. That was one of her best roles; another was in the film she made the following year for Joseph Losey, The Intimate Stranger (1956).
Among her television appearances she was featured in the title role of defendant Eleanor Corbin in the 1962 Perry Mason episode, "The Case of the Glamorous Ghost." She also appeared in dozens of other television series including The Lloyd Bridges Show, I Spy, The Outer Limits and Ironside. She was absent from the big screen for seven years before resuming her film career in 1972 with Steve McQueen in Junior Bonner.[2]
Murphy died of heart disease at her home in Beverly Hills, California, aged 80.[3]

The history of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a fascinating good news, bad news story. Wide geographic variations in the use of CEA have been noted for 3 decades, though its popularity has been cyclical. The use of CEA doubled in the early 1980s, but then dropped in half following reports of frequent complications1 and a national Medicare study reporting that one-third of CEAs were inappropriate.2 Subsequently, multinational randomized controlled trials (RCTs) found that, among carefully selected patients and surgeons, CEA reduced the risk of stroke and death compared with medical therapy. Symptomatic patients (with recent carotid stroke or transient ischemic attack), showed great benefit (absolute risk reduction in stroke of 8% per year) over 2 to 3 years.3 Asymptomatic patients had more modest benefit (absolute risk reduction of 1% per year) over 5 years.4,5

text: The most scenic: Lake Geneva Region The setting of the Lavaux vineyards above Lake Geneva is quite simply spectacular. You can taste their wines in the Caveau des Vignerons in Lutry. www.vins-vaudois.com The most of all: Valais The Valais is a canton of superlatives: the highest vineyards in Europe (Visperterminen), the highest dry-stone walls in the world (near Sion), and a wine-tasting cellar with 500 local wines (Château de Villa, Sierre). www.vinsduvalais.ch The most southern: Ticino You can explore the vineyards of Ticino in half a day, following the wine trail between Gudo and Biasca – and stop at welcoming grotti (traditional inns) along the way. www.ticino-tourism.ch The most welcoming: Bündner Herrschaft Maienfeld is not only the home of Heidi, but also the home of some of the country's finest wines. Every weekend from April to November, a different winemaker opens its doors to the public, starting at 11am. www.buendnerweine.ch Information Astonishing variety, surprising specialities More than 50 grape varieties are cultivated in Switzerland, tempting wine lovers to explore and discover them. To the Valais, to taste the Petite Arvine and Amigne (white), the Humagne rouge and Cornalin (red); to the shores of Lake Geneva, for the rare red Petit Robert; to Lake Zürich, for the white Räuschling; or to the Bündner Herrschaft, where – alongside a magnificent Pinot noir – the age-old Completer grows. You are sure to come across the Chasselas, the main grape of Western Switzerland, as well as the Merlot of Ticino, and maybe even the new Swiss varieties, Garanoir and Diolinoir.

ATLANTA (AP) - From her New York apartment, Maya Angelou saw smoke billowing from the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. Now, she says hope has replaced the horror of that sight.
"I can see in the acorn the oak tree," Angelou said. "I see the growth, the rebuilding, the restoring. I see that is the American psyche.
"There is so much we can draw understanding from. One of the lessons is the development of courage. Because without courage, you can't practice any of the other virtues consistently."
The 73-year-old poet was in Atlanta on Sunday to campaign for mayoral candidate Shirley Franklin.
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge gave a rare acoustic performance as part of the annual "Bite of Las Vegas."
She opened with Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" and played several hits from earlier albums as well as her current single, "I Want to be in Love," from her latest release, "Skin."
Etheridge told more than 5,000 fans on Saturday at UNLV's Thomas and Mack Center that she was lucky to have the opportunity to write a book, which she said was cathartic.
The 40-year-old said that if her best-selling autobiography, "The Truth Is...:," ever becomes a movie, she couldn't decide whether she'd rather see Susan Sarandon or Britney Spears play her.
LONDON (AP) - Jay Kay, the lead singer of Jamiroquai, denied charges Monday of common assault and criminal damage from a fight with a photographer.
The 31-year-old is accused of smashing camera equipment valued at $379 belonging to Dennis Gill, then assaulting the photographer.
The confrontation happened April 14 outside the Attica nightclub in London.
Kay, who wore a dark blue suit and a black hat during his brief appearance in Bow Street Magistrates Court, spoke only to confirm his name and to plead not guilty to the charges.
The case was adjourned until a hearing on Oct. 22, which the singer is not required to attend.
Kay, who got his start in London's acid jazz underground, helped spark a resurgence in jazz-funk.
Jamiroquai won a Grammy in 1997 for the song "Virtual Insanity."

You're interested in a fight? Fine with me. ''Let's you and me fight.''"\\'''--Suika Ibuki'''''Fantasy of Utter Ridiculousness'' is a WesternAnimation/MegasXLR / [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Touhou Project]] crossover FanFic written during May 2012 by Curtis Wildcat. The story can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8116027/1/Fantasy-of-Utter-Ridiculousness here.]] Six chapters and an Alternate Ending have been posted, and a message from the author has been posted implying that he still has some work on the story to do.While Coop is putting the moon back together during the aftermath of the Glorft's failed attempt to crash it into the Earth, Megas is attacked by a Lunarian mech. During the fight that follows, an attempt is made by the Watatsuki sisters to warp them directly into the Lunar Capital, all the better to sate the Earthlings' curiosity about the previously-unknown inhabitants. Instead Megas, with Coop and his friends inside, are sent to Gensokyo when the teleportation technology malfunctions.For a land that just got done facing off against the worst weather in its history, the perpetrator of that disaster surely can't be what they need...----!! ''Fantasy of Utter Ridiculousness'' contains examples of the following tropes:* AnswerCut: Coop wonders at one point just who in their right mind would enjoy ''tofu''. Cue cut to Ran Yakumo, wondering why she feels she ought to defend her snack choices.* ArbitrarySkepticism: Averted with Jamie, who points out that they ride around in a stolen robot from the future to fight space squids (also from the future) on a fairly regular basis, also bringing up some of their more outlandish adventures as well, as reasons why they shouldn't dismiss the existence of magic.* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:-->'''Jamie:''' So, who else are we going to meet today? Living phantoms? Talking cats? Tofu enthusiasts?* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: Lampshaded with Megas's Plot Sensitive Button when it reads "Technology does not work this way", just before Coop fires a reverse MIRV at Suika.* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: The giant fairies.** It's a crossover with WesternAnimation/MegasXLR. Does anything more ''really'' need to be said?* BigDamnHeroes: Marisa is able to accomplish this, although she isn't aware of it.** In Chapter 4, Alice is preparing for the unsavory task of dodging attacks from three giant fairies, whose danmaku have become massive to match. Cue the sun, literally, as the investigative Patchouli drops her Royal Flare spell card on their heads.* BigNo: [[spoiler: Patchouli's reaction when she discovers that most of the Mansion's library was destroyed in the Alternate Ending.]]* CoolVersusAwesome: Megas. Versus. Suika. The author has even gone on record as saying this matchup is the main reason why he wrote the story in the first place.* CreditsGag: The explanations in the Author's Notes are separated by one-paragraph depictions of events taking place during later visits to Gensokyo, mimicking the style used throughout Megas XLR's run.* CultureBlind: Alice realizes this about Coop when he, as a visitor, gave her something to drink instead of the other way around.* CurbstompBattle: Megas deals two of these, one against Kyla's Guardsman and the other against the giant fairies.* DeconstructionFic: One common plot in Touhou fanfiction involves one or more characters being dropped into Gensokyo and adjusting to life there, usually because of Yukari (or in this story, because of the Lunarians). The problem here arises when its Coop and the others, with [[HumongousMecha Megas]] in tow, that are warped on in; by the time the battles run their course, Reimu and Yukari are both in agreement that they do ''not'' belong.* DestructiveSavior: The Lunarians thank Coop (albeit not in person) for getting rid of the Glorft base in the Moon, but they deemed him so dangerous that they decided to put him down. Then again, this pretty much ''is'' Coop's MO...* DeusExitMachina: Hello, Megas. Good-bye, Yukari. See you when you wake up.* DidntSeeThatComing: Yukari admits as much after witnessing the lunar explosion, and is later sidelined when Megas makes its sudden arrival in Gensokyo.* DopeSlap: [[spoiler: In the credits, Koakuma does this to Jamie, so that he stops hitting on Patchouli]].** MomentKiller* EntertaininglyWrong: Alice misunderstands "Megas" to mean that the mech is a ''magus''. Sakuya, who was eavesdropping on the group when they met, becomes unnerved when she comes to the same conclusion.* ExcusePlot: The Lunarians, Alice's danmaku demonstration, and the giant fairy attack all serve one purpose: letting Megas fight Suika. * FearOfThunder: Flandre, of all people. The weather patterns caused by the lunar explosion were long-lasting and intense enough that she was ''scared sane.''* [[spoiler: FishOutOfWater: Patchouli's fate in the Alternate Ending. May also be a case of ''temporal'' water as well, given the difference in the settings.]]* {{Foreshadowing}}: Throughout the story, a trapped Marisa can be seen struggling to grab her mini-hakkero that's just ''this... much...'' out of reach. No guesses for what happens when she finally reaches it.* GenreSavvy: When Coop announces that if they leave now, they'll be able to catch a program he's wanted to watch, Jamie points out that it's more likely that they'll run into something they could have avoided if they left earlier. Sure enough, cue the Lunar Defense Corps...* {{Golem}}: In addition to the "magus" deal described above, Megas is mistaken for a giant statue or puppet by Alice and the residents of the SDM.* HalfHumanHybrid: At one point, Jamie announces to Patchouli and Kiva that one of his ancestors was a Youkai... before immediately turning this around by saying that he was just messing with them.* IKnowMortalKombat: Since it comes off as one big game, Coop is able to get the hang of Spell Card-based combat rather quickly.* KillItWithIce: Megas's frost sword. Fittingly, it's powered by a Strawberry Mega Slush.* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The characters notice that there is music in the background of each battle.** At the end of the story, Jamie points out something else out of place: everyone in Gensokyo, situated in Japan, was speaking perfect English.* [[LetsYouAndHimFight Let's You and Me Fight]]: Suika says this when she thinks Coop is deliberately withholding her prized gourd from her. [[spoiler: One of the giant fairies Megas was fighting was responsible, albeit accidentally.]]* {{Magitek}}: [[spoiler: In the Alternate Ending, Coop combines Patchouli's "Philosopher's Stone" card with Megas's systems. The resulting multi-element attack finishes off Suika and demolishes most of the Scarlet Devil Mansion's library in one go.]]* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Destruction visited upon the Forest of Magic? Marisa trapped in her own house? The giant fairies, and the subsequent showdown with Suika? Yukari, who could've prevented it all at the outset, getting decked on accident when Megas first arrives? Just another day in the life of Coop.** The Lunarians admit that they had no idea what the Glorft were planning and were mostly hiding from them, but that if MEGAS (and her crew) hadn't been there, they probably would have stayed hidden until the Glorft would have gone away... meaning that both the Lunarians and the Earth would have been destroyed. They give this realization to themselves and resolve to be more decisive next time.* OhCrap: Suika's response [[spoiler: when she fails to react in time to the battle's final attack.]]* SeinfeldianConversation: A conversation between Coop and Jamie in Chapter Four, revolving around bacon being the highest form of life on Earth, would've ended up as this if the giant fairies hadn't picked that moment to attack. Alice makes no attempt to understand what they're talking about.* ShipTease: [[CrackPairing Jamie and Patchouli]].* ShoutOut:** Commentary from Yukari during the prologue implies that ''WesternAnimation/RoadRovers'' took place in the same universe.** Part of Flandre's panicked ranting in Chapter Two suggests that she has seen Danny Kaye's ''The Inspector General''.** Yukari dreams of ComicStrip/TheFarSide. "No, Mister Larson, I'm not afraid of ducks watching me..."** ''Z,'' a show discussed later by Coop and Jamie, is meant to be an in-universe take on ''Series/{{V}}''.** Coop at one point says [[Series/SledgeHammer "Trust me. I know what I'm doing"]] before attempting to use a sledgehammer against Suika. Patchouli even notes that she doesn't feel that confident in his tactics.** When chewing out Remilia in the final chapter, Patchouli directly quotes Creator/MrT.** Jamie comments to Yukari that pitting her against R.E.G.I.S. would be like pitting a bazooka against a soccer ball. [[VideoGame/TouhouSoccer You can tell that she's getting ideas about that.]]* TemptingFate: Coop, regarding Suika's desire to wreck Megas if the Ibuki Gourd isn't returned:-->"If it means taking her down a few pegs to get her to stop, then she's more than welcome to try!"* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: See ''Cool Versus Awesome'' above.* VictimizedBystander: Pop TV memorabilia and the Three Mischevious Fairies don't mix.* WaterWakeup: The inquisitive fairy maid tasked with waiting on Yukari at the SDM doesn't seem to realize that a pitcher of water is ''not'' how you're supposed to wake sleeping people up. A minute after doing this, the frightened fairy is forced to flee from the "scary eyeball gap lady's" wrath.

As an environmental fight rages on in Washington D.C. over a recent proposed EPA ruling that would allow – among other things — toxic creosote-treated rail ties to be incinerated, AXION International Holdings presents an alternative path forward. The EPA's ruling – which would amend the Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials regulation, or NHSM) comes despite the regulator's identification of coal tar creosote as a hazardous waste and probable human carcinogen, which when incinerated is released into the air. AXION's ECOTRAX® rail ties, which have been used to build the world's first recycled plastic railroad, are made from 100% recycled materials that offer superior durability, a higher return on investment and do not leak toxins when re-recycled or when wet. ECOTRAX® have been tested and installed around the world by major railways and transit systems including Class I U.S. rail roads, one of the largest rail ways in Europe, and industrial railways for mining.

Several approaches have been taken to enhance immunity against tumors and infectious diseases in humans. These strategies target either the adaptive immune responses, i.e T cells and B cells, or enhance the activity of antigen presenting cells (APC) such as dendritic cells (DC). Dr. Sabado, as the Director of the Vaccine and Cell Therapy Laboratory (VCTL), is involved in developing new approaches to enhance the activity of DC to induce effective immune responses against tumors and infectious diseases in vivo.

D.A.R.E. has a comprehensive drug abuse prevention curriculum as well as bullying prevention and internet safety lessons. Lessons are designed for students from Kindergarten through high school and adult programs are available as well! Not only schools can take advantage of these programs- parishes may also schedule adult information sessions. If you would like to have a D.A.R.E officer visit your school or parish, contact State Trooper Maureen Steer, Program Facilitator, at 271-2877 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Some parishes have outreach programs for the elderly or other vulnerable adults. Volunteers working with the elderly or with other "incapacitated" adults should be informed of how to report suspected abuse. Inquiries and reports should be made to the Department of Health and Human Services Adult Protection Program at 1-800-949-0470. In addition, the Adult Protection Agency is available to provide free informational workshops to those working with the elderly and homebound. For further information, contact Rachel Lakin at 271-4347. Rachel is a supervisor at the agency and she will refer interested parishes to a local agency representative who can meet with your volunteers.
Safe Environment Coordinators: Double check and make sure that all parish CYO and Boy Scout volunteers are in compliance with the safe environment requirements. Read about some tips that will help you keep on track.
The Safe Environment Database contains the names of everyone who has ever completed any of the safe environment requirements. Recently, we have had a lot of questions about how to "look up" the name of a person who volunteered or worked with minors at another location. This is easy to do! Here are the instructions:
Please feel free to contact Eve Mongeau or Mary Ellen D'Intino if you need assistance.
As Safe Environment Coordinators are well aware, each new employee and volunteer who will work with minors must complete an application. It is important for the coordinator to review each application before it is filed away. Here are some tips on what to look for when reviewing volunteer and employee applications:
If you have questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Mary Ellen D'Intino at (603) 669-3100, Ext. 149.
The Safe Environment Database (SED) was designed to make it easy for parishes, schools, camps, and the Office for Ministerial Conduct to communicate with each other regarding employee and volunteer compliance. One feature of the database is that a school, parish, or camp can search a person's name and determine if the person has already completed the requirements. The person can then easily be added to the new entity listing.
When adding a pre-existing person to your SED list, if you do not have copies of certain documents (acknowledgement forms; applications) because they are maintained at another location, it is best to contact the school, parish, or camp to verify that the records are still there. This will help you to be prepared when a safe environment review occurs at your site. If you would like to obtain a written record for your own files, you may request it from the other location by using the Document Location Form (Word).

With their weekend nuptials now behind them – and chronicled in words and exclusive pictures in the new issue of PEOPLE – Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are contemplating their future together.
They may not be alone.
"We go back and forth," de Rossi, 35, tells PEOPLE about the prospect of having children. "I don't know if it's our immediate future. It's something we talk about every few months."
"It's something we would never take lightly and just say, 'That would be fun.' It's a lot of work and we recognize that," says DeGeneres, 50. "In a way, we want to be selfish because we love our life, but we know how much that adds to it."
And, Ellen adds, "If they would be as pretty as Brad and Angelina's kids, we might."
