The facts concerning the origin, course and prognosis of the non-pigmented cancer of the retina occurring in children are well known. Wintersteiner's classical monograph, in which he describes 467 cases, has been referred to as a basis of their remarks by authors who have published accounts of individual cases. Wehrli1 believes that retinal hemorrhages are the prime etiologic factor, because he has found rosettes, the centers of which were formed by the smallest vessels. These vessels were fully developed and for the most part degenerated, while their lumen contained remnants of red blood corpuscles surrounded by epithelial-like tumor cells.2 Lindenfeld3 in the study of the normal eyes of the fetus speaks of "granular rosette folds and folds of undifferential cells. From the cells may be derived the similarly arranged cells of retinal glioma." Fuchs'4 description of the pathology and changes voices the generally accepted opinion:

Need urgent help in linked list
I encounter some problem in linked list coding. I extarcted part of the coding from a C++ book and I have been studied it for so long but still cant fix the error.
The error is the variable "counter". In the book, "counter" is the variable to store the number of elements in the linked list and it's defined in private part of the class. In the constructor, they let counter=0 where the compiler shows that it's an error. Another errors are all the "counter++" in "insert2". I tried to correct those errors but i just can't fix them... Below are my coding. I'm struggling in this coding and i hope someone can help me... :nonod:
#include <iostream>
Re: Need urgent help in linked list
There are lots of code related to linked list and searching can help you a lot
Re: Need urgent help in linked list
actually other templates and the main body is functioning well, only the template for "insert2", that is inserting a node into a particular position in the linked list.
I have no choice but to use this function as i'm required to do so.. Is there any recommandation for it?
Re: Need urgent help in linked list
What exactly is the problem?
Are you getting compile-time errors, and if so what are they?
If I complie the code I get "'counter' : undeclared identifier" in linkedList::linkedList(), which is correct as there is no such variable linkedList::counter. Look carefully at the linkedlist class definition and you'll see the problem. If you can't, then tell me where you think linkedList::counter is defined (give the surrounding lines for context rather than line numbers).
By the way, there's a good reason to use indenting correctly. Fix that and all sorts of problems will become immediately apparent, including I think this one. Has the inaccurate indentation of linkedlist::node::counter fooled you?

Loose Teeth are Gross and Other Dental ObservationsCasey Mullins
Give me the option between a loaded diaper from Vivi or watching Addie play with a dangerously loose tooth with her tongue? I'll take the diaper thank you. I remember being fascinated with loose teeth as a kid, maybe because it meant the tooth fairy was coming or that you could go into school with a giant blank mouth space of courage…whatever the reason was I've since forgotten about it and now dread these six words.
It's not even as though I've dealt with a whole lot of the little suckers. She's only lost two and I was half a continent away when she lost one of them. But sure enough she proclaimed that yet another one was loose and of course made me FEEL IT as soon as we got home. Here's an interesting little fact, one of the most common nightmares I have is one where all of my teeth just fall out. For no reason. My first thought is always "Oh great, we don't have insurance, how am I going to pay for this?" and my second thought is how gross it is to spit them all out and feel nothing but gum left behind.
I never had to have braces but I had dental trauma all my own. I don't want Addie to have to experience the same thing (in fact she's going to the dentist next week, fingers crossed.) So far so good, although one of her new teeth is growing in a little funny. When it comes to fairytale jobs I simply couldn't handle? Tooth Fairy is at the top of the list followed shortly by those guys who sewed the vain emperor's new clothes, I'm a horrible liar.
As these teeth keep dropping out of Addie's mouth and working to appear in Vivi's I can assure you that nothing drives the point home that your child is growing up more than when their teeth start falling out of their head.
How do you handle the dental issues in your family?

Dear reader,
My interest is on VHF and above DXing. You will hardly find me below 50 MHz.
The inter-island DX SSB/CW activity is low in the Caribbean so after some scarse QSO's (NP2X, FG4KH) and some transatlantic tests (with the club FM4KA to CT1HZE : failed!) I decided to assembled a small EME station. I might give a new DXCC to those who did not work Rémi FM5CS (not active at the moment).
I still consider tropo skeds proposals in the Caribbean, a nice achievement would be a QSO with south-east USA (EL95 is the closest at 2400 km : Es or tropo + ES). Please send me an e-mail if you are interested.
My present station is about 600W to 2x8 Yagis. I can TX V only but receive H and V simultaneously : should improve that later.
I usually CQ 144.131 or answer CQ. Some good ears stations may spot me on Live CQ. I appreciate to have some random in QSO's.

What is a worthy hormone replacement after an hysterectomy near the ovaries gone contained by.?
I had a hysterectomy contained by Feb. I have be irritable and moody since about June.
I do not wannt synthetic hormones, I want natrual ones. I prefer making my ow combination or a correct one, that is not blasted by the company as the be adjectives end adjectives.
I did keep my overies, but it seem that I am one of the few that still need the hormone replacements.
I hold been crying plentifully lately, and cannot handle stress resembling I could a year ago.
If you need more information, them please ask and I will try to tag on it.
Thank you ahead of time.
This is normal change in the hormone adjustment due to a partial hysterectomy. To attain your female organs final in directive is very simple, the hormones simply need for a while help organize and getting back to everyday.
Raspberry Leaf Tea, you can find this in the grocery store coffee isle. Raspberry branch is a tonic for the entire female reproductive system and is great for restoring "normal" to the system, weather it's PMS or PPS. You can do a goggle rummage of this herb and really get the full dipper.
If you should need something more to soothe your twitchy system and help you to sleep, a short time ago email me. The raspberry will fix the heightened emotions and back you get to passion normal again.
You can drink two cups a hours of daylight over the next three weeks, if you discern you need too. But most of the time, the first week every year and then after that as you obligation it.
Best to you sweetie, been here and doing great! I now use Elizabeth's Essence tea for the other I spoke give or take a few. If you want more info, let me know.
Try Natrol 5-htp.
If your ovaries be not removed, you don't need hormone replacement dream therapy.
I worked as an acupuncturist at a hormonal health clinic for a quantity of years, and we had allot of difficult cases near. Very few of the patients required synthetic HRT. A good percentage used the "natural" hormone replacement that pharmacists blend for them and our MD would proclaim after extensive testing. The trialling insured that the patients were truly getting what they needed, and every woman's situation vary greatly. Also, just trialling estrogen, progesterone, fsh, etc. in a one time audition won't give a obedient picture of what is going on throughout the month. You need to find someone who specializes surrounded by this testing.
Of course, these "natural" HRT's are not from herb (they may start building these compounds with extreme yam root, but this is a chemical compound in the end), but they do chemically contest the hormones your body would produce without the extra tag that synthetic hormones have. Allot of women thrived on these custom blends short side effects.
About 40% of women were competent to experience full relief using herb and acupuncture. We would tailor the treatment to each woman's requirements.
I hope that this clarifies some of your choices for treatments.
My ovaries started failing at the age of 27...today I am 35. They don't make progesterone anymore. So I am on unconscious bio-identical progesterone EVERY DAY. So the poor soul above that posted 'if you have ovaries, you don't want hormones' now know he/she is DEAD WRONG!! GGRRRR!!
I am on 5 natural bio very hormones. It took me 3 years and 14 doctors before I could gain it...and it was when I stopped seeing MDs and saw an ND!!!
Not sure where on earth you are...here's my doc...people from adjectives over the world fly in to see him... www.hotzehwc.com but I am glad you posted...as I may look surrounded by to the suggestions you have gotten as okay.
GOOD LUCK!! Hope you are feeling better soon!! :)

President Gordon Bietz recently awarded two Southern Adventist University employees for going above and beyond in service for the community and on campus.
Robert Gadd, Ph.D., professor in the School of Business and Management, was awarded $500 and the President's Award for Community Service Excellence. This honor is bestowed annually to an employee who has made the largest difference beyond the boundaries of Southern's campus.
Gadd was nominated by Southern employees for his service to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chattanooga. Every Thursday for the last five years, Gadd has prepared a breakfast for about 50 people at the facility that provides a "home away from home" for the families of sick or injured children receiving care at local hospitals.
Gadd buys all the food for the breakfast with his own money, and takes the times to prepare it himself, with his wife assisting with the clean up. Some of the foods he cooks include Danish pastries, scones, egg casseroles, hash brown casseroles, French toast, and monkey bread.
"Our families are so touched by his effort to bring a warm breakfast to them before he even starts his day that they asked we pass along appreciation for Gadd's kindness," said the staff at the Ronald McDonald House.
Gadd also gathers students from his Intermediate Accounting class to help set up for Ronald McDonald's Autumn Children's Festival every October. About 15 students have consistently volunteered for the last six years.
"In a broad sense, and I tell my students this, any business that avoids service to the community isn't being socially responsible," Gadd said. "It's important for organizations like Southern to give back to the community in which it functions."
Susan Pennington, assistant dean of women was also awarded $500, along with the President's Award for Customer Service. She was nominated for the award by students, many of which are Thatcher residents.
"Dean Pennington is one of the most caring, patient, loving people I've interacted with on campus," a student wrote. "She is very giving of her time, is willing to stay past her normal hours, and goes above and beyond her duty to help residents."
Pennington called the award a tribute to not only her, but to all of the deans who work "tirelessly and faithfully" for all of the students in the residence hall.
"I feel so thankful to be able to work with such wonderful people," she said. "Every day is such a blessing and I truly love my job."
Congratulations to Professor Gadd and Dean Pennington. Southern is honored to have two fine examples of Christian service and humility.

Yankee's food expert, Annie B. Copps, sits down to dine with celebrity chef Mary Ann Esposito and her husband, Guy.
I spent last Friday with Guy and Mary Ann Esposito. They are just lovely people. You probably know Mary Ann Esposito from her television cooking show, Ciao Italia, the longest-running cooking program on TV—19 years, I believe. If not, she's written more than a dozen cookbooks, so if you don't know about her, you might want to crawl out from underneath that rock you've been under. Mary Ann and Guy are just the best. And Guy, well, he's an incredible gardener, as well as an orthopedic surgeon, among other things.
Mary Ann's show isn't about celebrity or pomp — it really is about cooking. Italian food for sure, but cooking. I think it does so well not only because Mary Ann is so good at what she does, talking and sauteing, but also because it feels like being in the kitchen with Nonna. What kids do that anymore?
I cook with the kids in my life, but not the way I did with my mother. Mothers (and fathers, for that matter) don't cook anymore, except on Sundays or special occasions. Mary Ann Esposito, Lidia Bastianich, Paula Deen —they're women of a certain age, doing the regional food of "their people." I think kids go cuckoo for them. Rachael, Giada, Tyler, et al. are what they are and I suppose quite good at what they do, but I don't get the same parental authority from them, which makes sense, as we're relatively the same age.
Anyway, another digression. I wanted to take the Espositos out for lunch and talk about Guy's garden (you'll be able to read about it in the July/August issue of Yankee), but Mary Ann insisted I come to their house for lunch. Insisted. I called her stubborn, but she ignored me, so to her house I went and was happy to do so.
She fed us well on tomato soup (made from Guy's garden tomatoes, which she froze last fall), quiche, and pickled vegetables (also from Guy's garden, pickled last fall). And vanilla panna cotta, a gelatin-based custard that's really comforting. Guy is quite a wine aficionado, so of course we had wine, a Spatlese Riesling, which was crisp and perfect with the eggy quiche and the creamy dessert. Followed by an espresso with a crema that few home "barristas" can achieve.
Guy's seeds had just arrived from Italy, and he was like a kid at Christmas, telling me about the tomato varietals, eggplants, zucchini, peppers, basil, and on and on. As I said, you'll learn the details about his green thumb later this year. He can't wait to get them in the soil and under a grow light.
I had to hit the road for another appointment, but only after Mary Ann put together a bag of cookies, Easter bread (the kind with the colored egg in the center — just like her mom used to make), pesto (the basil from Guy's garden), dried peppers (from Guy's garden), and a recipe for bread (Guy is an avid home baker).
I was meeting girlfriends for a knitting retreat, and I told Mary Ann this. She gave me a look, clearly "A knitting weekend? You'll never meet a good man." Only my own mother or Nonna could get away with that.

BRANCHBURG — The public may get a chance to weigh in next month on a controversial plan before the Zoning Board of Adjustment to build 292 condominiums, apartments and townhouses on 45.8 acres bordered by Route 22, Station Road and Easton Turnpike.
The board spent nearly three hours hearing testimony from the applicant's planner and questioning him at the May 3 meeting. Unasked questions remained, so a planned public comment period was postponed until June 7, and will begin only after the planner addresses those questions.
Advance at Branchburg II, LLC is seeking approval to build "Signature Place" — a residential development of 27 multi-unit housing buildings, a club house and a pool — on property zoned for commercial and industrial use. An office complex had already been approved for the site.
The company seeks variances to change the use of the property, as well as certain setback and transition buffer requirements. About 20% of the 292 units, 59, are to be "affordable" housing, but the township's Council On Affordable Housing plan doesn't include the 59 units as part of its plan to meet its obligation. Any third-round obligation is not yet known.
Most of the property is open field. A tree-removal plan for the complex requires removal of about 6 acres of the existing tree canopy, about 40%. Removal of only 30%, about 4.5 acres, is permitted.
The entire I-2 zone is 106 acres. It is bordered across Easton Turnpike by single family homes, which would face a retaining wall that could be 8-10 feet high.
The developer's planner, Peter Steck, of Maplewood, testified that the property was "well-suited" for affordable housing and ill-suited for commercial development because it lacked direct access to Route 22. He also argued that in this "bifurcated" application, the question before the Zoning Board was whether or not the site could be used for multi-unit residential development, not the details of the development, which would be addressed later, when a specific site plan was proposed.
"The development of 292 dwellings on this site… will have a dramatic effect on the character of North Branch," wrote Michael Sullivan, of Clarke Caton Hintz, the board's planner, on March 29. Sullivan warned the board that, "There are many uncertainties with respect to the details of the proposed development.
"It may be impossible to sew up all the relevant details at this time," Sullivan wrote. He recommended to the board, that if it approved the use, "conditions relating to the ultimate development of the site be included as conditions of the variance."
The next hearing on the application is scheduled for June 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building, but it could be delayed due to polls in the primary election being open until 8 p.m.

This is my vim configuration to work with Git + Puppet manifests, mostly it's based on some good articles about this that I found online:
- Using vim and Debian to do puppet development
- Puppet editing like a pro
- Using Vim to edit Puppet code
Using this repository you'll enable the following plugins:
- pathogen Makes it super easy to install plugins and runtime files in their own private directories.
- snipmate.vim snipMate.vim aims to be an unobtrusive, concise vim script that implements some of TextMate's snippets features in Vim.
- syntastic Syntastic is a syntax checking plugin that runs files through external syntax checkers and displays any resulting errors to the user. This can be done on demand, or automatically as files are saved. If syntax errors are detected, the user is notified and is happy because they didn't have to compile their code or execute their script to find them.
- tabular Sometimes, it's useful to line up text. Naturally, it's nicer to have the computer do this for you, since aligning things by hand quickly becomes unpleasant.
- vim-puppet Make vim more Puppet friendly!
- vim-fugitive Provides an amazingly deep Git integration for vim.
Also you'll find a snippets directory with a custom list of snippet for Puppet.

Kitzhaber issued a brief news release saying the meeting was "productive" and that the group would resume talks Tuesday.
Asked to expand after he appeared before a House committee, the governor declined. "I don't have anything to say beyond what was in my press release."
House Minority Leader Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, who spoke to the same committee, had a similar response afterward.
The bipartisan silence could be taken as a sign of at least some cohesion within the group, which includes Kitzhaber, McLane, House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, and Senate Minority Leader Ted Ferrioli, R-John Day.
Kitzhaber summoned the leaders to Mahonia Hall, the governor's mansion, a day after Republicans presented a plan to cut the Public Employees Retirement System well beyond what Democrats said would be feasible. Both sides are seeking a deal that combines some further PERS cuts with additional revenue that could be spent on education and other state programs.

Spring arrived very early this year, bringing what traditionally is - even through the downturn that has been with us since 2006-07 - the best time to buy and sell real estate.
Issues of tight credit linger, and median home prices continue to decline, though more slowly. Yet there appear to be enough positive indicators to push once-reluctant sellers into the market.
Among those pluses: record-low fixed interest rates for mortgages and the highest affordability levels since record-keeping began in the 1970s. Plus, in the last six months of 2011, the number of homes listed for sale in the eight-county Philadelphia region dropped 21 percent, from 52,600 to 41,700, said Kevin Gillen, of Econsult Corp. in Philadelphia. That is the lowest number since January 2007, about nine months before the housing boom collapsed locally.

Top SBA Small Business Lenders: Community Banks!
May 20th – 26th is National Small Business Week, a time to recognize the essential contributions small businesses make to local economies. One of NerdWallet's favorite small businesses is, you guessed it, the community bank. Typically defined as a bank with less than $1 billion in assets, community banks play a huge role in helping other small businesses succeed by providing them with more loans than any other financial institution. Community banks lend out roughly 66% of their assets to small businesses, easily more than double the amount of your average big bank. Accordingly, community banks are also one of the biggest providers of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans in America. The SBA is an independent government organization dedicated to small business advocacy, lending opportunities and entrepreneurial development.
SBA loans at a glance
SBA loans are intended for small business owners who do not have access to other forms of financing. While the SBA doesn't lend money, it does set the guidelines for SBA loans, which are made by its lending partners, including community banks. You can view detailed information on the SBA's website, but the two most common types of loans include the 7(a), which is designed for businesses with region or industry-specific requirements, and the 504, which provides money for expansion and modernization.
Here are NerdWallet's picks for community banks with top-ranking SBA programs. Please note that the city in parentheses refers to the bank's headquarters. Some of these banks have a special SBA loan office, which is mentioned where applicable.
BankFive – (Fall River, MA)
You wouldn't guess it from their name, but BankFive actually has 13 locations throughout the South Coast in Massachusetts. In 2011, they were named the SBA Minority Lender of the Year for the third year in a row! Now that's what we call commitment to the community. In addition to SBA loans, BankFive also offers business checking and money market accounts, remote check processing services, and commercial loans.
Community West Bank (Goleta, CA)
Community West Bank has 5 branch locations in Goleta, Westlake Village, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Venture.

One of the oldest community banks in Washington, Kitsap Bank has over 20 locations in the Greater Puget Sound region. They were recently picked as the number one SBA lender among community banks in Washington. In addition to SBA loans, Kitsap Bank provides working capital lines of credit for professionals, including doctors, dentists, CPAs and attorneys. For all small business owners, they provide cash management and deposit account services, and retirement planning. Their SBA loan offices are located in Bremerton and Gig Harbor.

Cornerstone Community Bank (Grafton, WI)
Cornerstone Community Bank has 3 locations in Grafton, Fox Point and Menomonee Falls. They recently earned an SBA Volume Lender Award, which is given to financial institutions that make a substantial number of loans to local businesses. Cornerstone Community Bank's other small business banking services include deposit accounts with online banking, real estate lending, and remote deposit capture, which allows you to make deposits from your computer.

Well, yesterday it was posted on the NC General Discussion Board that the NC is no longer available on the B&N website.
Today, I no longer see the 16gb NT. I can somewhat understand no longer producing the NC as it is 2 years old, and has been supplanted by the NT and the HD, though I still find my NC to be a great product. But the NT is only a year old.
Is B&N soon going to have only the HD and HD+ for it's LCD screen customers?

Sorafenib (Nexavar; Bayer HealthCare AG) is an oral multikinase inhibitor approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma and advanced renal cell carcinoma. It inhibits multiple tyrosine kinases, including C-RAF and B-RAF, vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR).
Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare skin eruption associated principally with drugs. To our knowledge, only 1 report of sorafenib-induced acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) has been published.1 Herein, we report the first case of AGEP induced by sorafenib.
A woman in her 50s presented with a history of multifocal hepatocarcinoma previously treated unsuccessfully with radiofrequency, arterial embolization, and selective hepatic radioembolization. After the appearance of lung metastases, treatment was begun with sorafenib (400 mg every 12 hours). Two weeks later, the patient developed hand-foot skin reaction (HSFR), so the treatment was suspended with resolution of the lesions. Treatment with the drug was reintroduced at half dose with good results, and full doses were then administered. Ten days later, the HSFR reappeared, and sorafenib treatment was suspended again. After 3 weeks, sorafenib treatment was restarted at half dose.
After 4 weeks, and without any other drug being added to the treatment regimen, the patient developed an abrupt eruption consisting of erythematous and edematous plaques with hundreds of tiny nonfollicular pustules that appeared first in the genital and inguinal areas and subsequently on the legs, abdomen, buttocks, and neck (Figure 1). She had no mucosal lesions, fever, or any other relevant symptoms. The blood neutrophil count was elevated (7.1 × 109/L), as was the eosinophil count (0.44 × 109/L). (To convert neutrophils and eosinophils to number of cells per microliter, divide by 0.001.)
A, Eruption consisting of erythematous and edematous plaques with small pustules noted on patient's legs. B, Erythematous plaques without pustules on patient's neck.
Skin biopsy revealed formation of subcorneal pustules containing neutrophil aggregates with spongiotic change in the epidermis, edema of the papillary dermis, and superficial perivascular neutrophil and lymphocyte infiltration with red blood cell extravasation in the dermis (Figure 2).
Skin biopsy section showing the formation of subcorneal pustules containing neutrophil aggregates with spongiotic change in the epidermis (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×200).
A diagnosis of AGEP was made. Sorafenib treatment was discontinued promptly. The patient's skin lesions subsided spontaneously, and desquamation occurred a week later. Results of epicutaneous tests with sorafenib were negative at 48, 96, and 168 hours.
The most frequent adverse effects of sorafenib are those affecting the skin (up to 60% patients),2 although interestingly, some reports suggest that patients taking sorafenib for hepatocellular carcinoma who develop skin toxic effects show a longer survival.3 The pathogenic mechanism remains unclear. These adverse effects include HFSR, callosities on areas of high pressure, exanthema, itching, subungual splinter hemorrhages, alopecia, keratoacanthoma, squamous cell carcinoma, seborrheic dermatitislike eruption, and erythema multiforme.2
We describe herein a case of patient who was taking sorafenib who developed AGEP, which is a rare skin eruption characterized by an abrupt onset of edematous erythema with numerous small pustules associated principally with drugs. We know of only 1 case in the literature of the localized form of the drug eruption ALEP induced by sorafenib. We have found no cases of AGEP induced by this new drug. However, several cases of AGEP have been reported in patients receiving imatinib, which shares with sorafenib the inhibition pathway of PDGFR.4
The principal differential diagnosis of AGEP consists of pustular psoriasis. The absence of clinical history of psoriasis, the more acute course, and rapid spontaneous resolution after discontinuation of drug treatment make the diagnosis of AGEP more likely. A negative result from the patch tests does not rule out the diagnosis (only 50% of cases of AGEP show a positive result with the drug involved).5 Despite the lack of fever, considered a typical clinical feature, our case was classified as definite according to the EuroSCAR scoring system.6
Recognizing cutaneous adverse effects early and administering appropriate treatment will likely increase medication compliance and minimize dose reductions and discontinuation of the drug treatment.

by Temple Grandin
The author is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colo.
People have known for a long time that rough handling and stress is detrimental to dairy cattle. Over 100 years ago, W. D. Hoard, founder of Hoard's Dairyman, wrote that people working with dairy cows should have patience and kindness. He knew that rough treatment lessened the flow of milk. Jack Albright, professor emeritus at Purdue University, likewise stated that tame dairy cows willing to approach people will give more milk. Despite these well-known facts, people have forgotten Hoard's and Albright's message.
Are locking stanchions stressful? It may depend on how the animals were trained to the stanchions. Cows that associate them with feed may have little stress; cows that associate them with needles may have lowered production.
Over time, researchers have used statistical methods to document the damaging effects rough handling causes. In fact, shocking a cow or hitting her can reduce milk yield by 10 percent. Cows that are fearful of people are less productive, documents Australian Paul Hemsworth. Fearfulness was determined by the degree of restlessness the cow displayed when a person was close to her during milking. Cows that avoided people and became restless when a person was nearby had lower milk production. Still further, observations at a large dairy indicated that tame cows gave more milk.
Fear memory formation . . .
What makes a cow fearful of people? Animals have excellent memories for both good and bad experiences. Research on the brain by Joseph LeDoux at New York University shows that animals can experience fear memories that cannot be erased. These fear memories are located in a part of the brain called the amygdala which is the lower more primitive part of the brain under the cortex.
Fear memories are permanent. Back in the times when cows were wild animals, they would be more likely to be eaten by predators if they forgot where they had encountered a lion. Over time, animals can learn to override a fear memory and become less fearful of the place where a scary experience occurred. But they can only override the fear memory it can never be erased. The emphasis has to be on preventing fear memories.
Cows and other animals tend to develop fear memories which are linked to either bad places or prominent objects. Animals are most likely to become fearful of a specific place or of a person wearing a certain type of clothing associated with a painful or scary experience.
It would be very detrimental for milk production if a cow becomes afraid of the milking parlor. It is essential that a heifer's first experience in the milking parlor is a good experience. First experiences make a big impression on animals. If a heifer falls down or is shocked with an electric prod the first time she enters the parlor, she may develop a fear memory that is associated with the parlor.
Research done with rats shows the powerful effects of forming a fear memory. Rats were placed in a maze and allowed to explore all the alleys. If a rat was given a shock the first time it entered a new alley, it would never enter that alley again. However, if the rat entered the alley several times and found food, that produced a positive memory. If it received a shock after the fifth time it entered, and still received food, the rat would be likely to continue to enter the alley.
If an animal has a painful or scary experience the first time it enters a new place, then the fear memory is associated with the new place. But, if a painful or scary event happens in a familiar place which has previously been safe, the cow will most likely associate it with some other thing such as a person wearing a yellow raincoat. The fear memory will be associated with the raincoat instead of the place. The fear memory can resurface in any place the cow sees a yellow raincoat.
Introducing heifers to the parlor . . .
Care must be taken to ensure that nothing bad happens to a new heifer when she first walks through the parlor. Animals are naturally wary of new places. If a new experience is suddenly shoved in the animal's face, it is more likely to be fearful. One of the best low-stress ways to introduce a new place is to allow animals to voluntarily explore it. In smaller dairies, heifers could be allowed to explore and walk around in the parlor before they freshen. In a large dairy, this would probably not be practical.
French researchers have found that young calves which are handled frequently by people (and have positive experiences with people) will grow up into calmer cows with a smaller flight distance.
On a large dairy, a person could be hired to pet and handle calves. At the very least, the calf raiser should be a calm, nurturing person.When the heifers get older, they can be further tamed and quieted down by a person walking in their pens every day. During this time, they will learn the sound of the familiar person's voice and footsteps. He or she should also wear the same clothing that the milkers wear such as a yellow apron. This will help the heifers to associate milker clothing with a good experience. When the heifers first go in the parlor, they can be calmed by the sound and sight of a familiar, nice, safe person.
Sometimes cows require veterinary treatments which may cause some pain or discomfort. It is important that these experiences are not associated with milking. To prevent associations with milking, never give an injection when a cow is in a milking stall. The cow should be taken to a veterinary area for treatment. She then learns that the rest of the dairy is "safe."
If possible, milkers should not give injections. If this is not possible, then the milker should wear something very different such as removing his yellow apron and putting on a big blue hat. The cows then learn that they can relax when they see the yellow apron, and the only time they will be anxious is when they see the blue hat. The hat should be a really wild one that no other employee would ever wear. It should be put away after the veterinary treatments in a box where the cows cannot see it. This will work unless a cow has had a bad experience with yellow aprons when she was a calf. Cows do not recognize human faces; they recognize places, smells, voices, distinctive clothing, and certain objects.
Memories are like pictures . . .
Since animals do not have language, they store their memories like pictures in a photo album or as short bits of audio tape. For example, if a cow became afraid of yellow raincoats when she was a heifer, anything that resembles a yellow raincoat may also scare her. A fear of yellow raincoats might generalize to yellow aprons. Basically, the cow matches what she is seeing and hearing to the fear memories in her brain.
Some dairy managers have found that locking stanchions raise stress levels. This may be due to the methods used to introduce the stanchions. Before a stanchion is ever locked, the animals should associate it with eating. If the locking stanchion is associated with needles, the cow is more likely to be fearful.
To avoid this association, the animal's first experience in the stanchion should be eating. If the calves are gently trained to eat in stanchions, they probably will not associate them with needles, even if they have received injections in them. It is more likely cows will associate the needles with an object such as a red "sharps container" with needles. They will be relaxed when they can't see the container.
W. D. Hoard's wisdom has now been proven with science. Scientists have mapped the fear circuits in the brain, and they know how these circuits work. Dairy managers can use this information to train employees on the importance of treating dairy cows with kindness.

The Desperate Housewives actress and the basketball star married Saturday in front of about 250 guests in a religious ceremony at the historic Church of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, located in the 1st Arrondissement opposite the Louvre museum.
Longoria wore a couture Angel Sanchez mermaid gown made of silk wool, with silk gazar metallic embroidery, a scoop back and a long train. (See a sketch below.)
Teri Hatcher waved to the throng of photographers as she entered the church, which was decorated with 1,000 flowers for the ceremony officiated by Father Dominic Schubert.
Other guests ducked behind a large screen placed to shield them from the press. Their cellphones and cameras were sealed in plastic bags before they entered the church.
More on the Wedding
Earlier, Sheryl Crow, Jessica Alba and Longoria's Desperate Housewives co-stars Nicollette Sheridan and Felicity Huffman – with husband William H. Macy – were all spotted at the tony Park Hyatt Paris, along with Mario Lopez and Ryan Seacrest. Sheridan was seen carrying a Christian Louboutin shopping bag into the hotel.
French-raised Parker, 25, a point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, and Longoria, 32, got engaged last November. After two wedding ceremonies, they are now not short on presents. Gifts from guests included personalized Oceanaut watches ($2,895 and $3,295) engraved with "Eva & Tony 07-07-07." And another friend bought the two Fendi Casa travel pillows ($200 each) for the long flight back.
Longoria's bridesmaids received Rafe Swarovski snakeskin clutches ($395) to match their dresses. Female guests also got a custom shade of L'Oreal Paris lipstick called Pink Romance.
Saturday's celebrations capped off a week of partying, shopping and socializing – including a his-and-her bachelor parties in St. Tropez. Many of the guests are staying in the same hotel as the couple, who have an $11,000-a-night suite at the Park Hyatt Paris Vendome.

Three Massachusetts men had to be rescued after getting lost on Mount Monadnock over the weekend.
The men were hiking down the Marlboro Trail around 6 p.m. when they got lost and called for help.
Fish and Game officials said the men's GPS actually complicated the search. They said the GPS coordinates from their cell phones were inaccurate, and it ended up taking rescuers about two hours to find them.

Great product & Great price!!
great product & great price
I will continue to buy from B&B
It has always been delivered when it was supposed to be. It would be great if they could include some lighters with large orders.. Site is fairly easy to navigate thru.
Would not purchase again
Smoke on a daily basis and am not happy with flavor nor do I feel satisfied when done smoking. Will go back to ordering Double Diamond.
Pretty decent substitute for a cigatte
I have tried a variety of little cigars now (Dutch treats muriel swisher remington etc.) searching for the best substitute for a cigarette. With the filter tip broken off I feel that these do the trick very nicely. The cherry is also pretty good. Try it You can't go wrong at the price!
I have been buying this brand for the past few months and have to say they are just as good as the swisher brand and I highly reccomend them to the menthol lover...
my smokes
ihave not received them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great value
service is great, receive order very fast, great place to save money
Great smoke
Like a good cigarette
The Price is right
In my state, the cost of cigarettes is prohibitive. You can pay as much for a pack as a carton of little cigars. I find little difference between the two. The choice is a no brainer
Great service, Great product
Cherokee Menthol Little Cigars
Happy with the service & the product. It's a re-order :)
Arrived in good time. Great taste and great price..Roy
Don't know what's wrong with the last order I got
I've always been satisfied with the Cherokee Menthol Little Cigars but the last batch drags hard and goes out all the time! It's like there's a plug in it! Can you check into this?
Excellent brand
This is a good brand of smokes - longer and more like my favorite brand - however, I bought them on sale this time - they were out of the brand I did smoke... I would buy these as long as they are on sale, because otherwise, they would just be too expensive for me - but great tasting and they have the kick I like for my smokes to have.

My food prep begins with a trip to Costco where I purchase most of my protein, berries and veggies. I come home, let me kids run wild and begin my cooking frenzy. It takes me about an hour to create in the kitchen, because I have one speed with everything I do. Super Shannon Speed. 10 things going at once. My kids love my Food Prep day because I don't parent much during that hour. They have a blast destroying the house (Shh, don't tell my husband), and not hearing the usual, "Stop, No, or Please Behave". It's a win- win situation. I get to cook healthy foods that will help me reach my goals and my kids get to run wild in the house without me interfering.
I marinate my chicken in Balsamic Vinegar, Stone Ground Mustard, Worchestire Sauce, Salt, Pepper and any other seasonings I feel like using. After grilling the chicken, I weigh of 4 oz. using my food scale and baggie. All the little baggies, I put in one large freezer bag which I store in the freezer. This makes eating clean on the go or in a pinch very easy. On the stove are freshly baked Turkey Burgers which I will package and freeze as well. The bowl has a few dozen hard boiled eggs that are chilling in an ice bath. I find it's easier to peel eggs when they are very cold.
Meal preparation has made everyone I have helped extremely successful in reaching their goal. If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. I will not let you fail. Get cookin!

NBA Shots Down Rivers-Clippers swap
MIAMI -- Remember that one about Doc Rivers getting traded to the Clippers in a deal involving Kevin Garnett? Never mind.
The Celtics and Clippers were informed days ago that such an arrangement is not permitted under league trade rules, even if the deals were separated into two distinct transactions, a league source told CBSSports.com on Thursday.
In a radio tour in the hours before Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, commissioner David Stern appeared on several programs and put this saga out of its misery. His strongest comments came on ESPN Radio in New York, where Stern said, "The teams are aware that the collective bargaining agreement doesn't authorize trades involving coaches' contracts."
The only incentives other than player contracts that are permitted in NBA trades, Stern said, are draft picks and cash.
"The teams know that," Stern said. "It has been confirmed to them. ... It can't be gotten around by breaking it up into two transactions."
Stern said -- and a person familiar with the communication between the league and the teams confirmed -- that there is no separating the two deals at this point because it is obvious all the pieces are part of the same negotiation.

Bryan Cranston Is Writing a Breaking Bad MemoirKacy Faulconer
I Am the One Who Knocks, A Memoir by Walter White.
No Half Measures: My Life as a Southwestern Meth Kingpin
To Skyler, #Sorry#NotSorry
I'm just brainstorming here because Bryan Cranston has agreed to write a memoir for Scribner about his life and work on Breaking Bad.
Is there nothing this guy can't do? From disco roller skating as the hapless dad on Malcolm in the Middle to cooking super good meth to acting on Broadway to facing down Japan's most frightening monster, Cranston proves to be multi-talented. Now he's going to add author to his list of been-there-done-that.
According to The New York Times, Cranston plans to "tell the stories of my life and reveal the secrets and lies that I lived with for six years shooting Breaking Bad." Intriguing.
Nan Graham, the publisher of Scribner, said that Bryan Cranston "writes the way he acts — with fierce commitment, intelligence and humor."
Sounds like a pretty accurate description of Bryan Cranston to me. His upcoming blockbuster Godzilla looks like it will showcase his fierce commitment, especially. I, for one, can not wait. It's been too long, Walt!
I'm looking forward to reading about Cranston's relationship with Aaron Paul. I know they grew close over the series and Paul looks to Cranston as a mentor, just like Jesse Pinkman looked up to Mr. White. One of the most painful betrayals in the series (and there were a lot) was Walt's betrayal of Jesse Pinkman towards the end of his run as drug lord extraordinaire. Walt and Jesse's relationship was genuine, complicated, and fraught. I believe it was grounded in a deep "real life" camaraderie between the two actors, which should make for some excellent reading.
Cranston's memoir hits shelves fall of 2015. You could binge watch Breaking Bad a couple of times before the release date if you were fiercely committed. I say go for it.

text: Sofia, Bulgaria: The cost of a centrally located, well-reviewed three-star hotel, plus the cost of transportation, some activities, food and drink make Sofia the title of Europe's cheapest tourist city for 2013, coming in at under $50 a day, according to a survey from Price of Travel. Here, a view of the Alexander Nevski cathedral. Petar Petrov, APBerlin: Healthy competition among hostels and cheaper hotels keeps budget accommodations inexpensive. Even when you factor in food and activities, Berlin remains a bargain, with an average daily cost of $108 per traveler. Here, tourists stroll in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. Franka Bruns, APRiga, Latvia: In a country whose currency offers Americans an excellent exchange rate, Riga stands out as a city with plenty to offer even those on a tight budget. Hotels.com's Hotel Price Index rates Riga the second most affordable city in Europe for accommodations, with an average price of about $82 per night. Jayne Clark, USA TODAYLisbon, Portugal: Lisbon stands out among European destinations for its comparatively low spring and summer airfare prices. In fact, from San Francisco, average summer airfares were about half as much to Lisbon as they were to London. Here, an outdoor restaurant, one of many in Lisbon, is tucked away on a hillside passageway with views of the city's whitewashed, red-tile-roofed buildings and Castle of São Jorge in the distance. Veronica Gould Stoddart, USA TODAYKiev, Ukraine: The European Backpacker Index for 2013 puts the daily cost of accommodations, food and drink, and some activities and transportation at a mere $26. And according to The Economist's Big Mac Index, the Ukranian hryvnia is undervalued by nearly 50 percent against the dollar, giving travelers even more spending power. Here, a monument to Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, a central figure in Ukrainian history during the 17th century, is seen in Ukraine's capital Kiev, backdropped by St. Michael's Cathedral. Efrem Lukatsky, APIstanbul: Spring and summer airfare prices from the U.S. to Istanbul are consistently among the lowest to Europe. But while Istanbul is wallet-friendly for those who are cost conscious, it's a trendy destination full of restaurants, bars, and cafes, so it can get expensive quickly if you decide to live it up. John Foxx, Getty ImagesPrague, Czech Republic: Its popularity over the last decade has caused prices to rise somewhat, but Prague can still be an impressively affordable city, particularly for backpackers willing to settle for modest accommodations. Here, people walk over the Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic. The bridge's construction began in 1357 under Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor known as the father of the Czech nation. CzechTourism, APBudapest, Hungary: There's a lot that stands out to make Budapest an affordable European destination. Its currency, the forint, offers solid value to Americans abroad. It's easy to eat, drink, and sightsee on a budget. And at the end of the day, you won't have to spend much for a decent place to stay. Andy Sotiriou, Getty ImagesKrakow, Poland: Krakow has affordability all sewn up. Its daily average lodging and travel costs is $58 for budget travelers and the Polish airline LOT has been running periodic fare sales for flights from New York or Chicago to Krakow. Here, the main square of the Old Town in Krakow, Poland. With crowds of tourists and a college-town atmosphere, Krakow -- once the capital of Poland -- has become a European hot spot. Julie Ault, APVilnius, Lithuania: It's a city Lonely Planet colorfully calls "eccentric and soulful," and one that offers the best overall hotel prices in all of Europe. Sweeten the pot with a favorable exchange rate, quirky attractions, and Europe's largest baroque old town, and you've got an intriguing and affordable destination.

World Economic Forum 2013 Considers Ways to Revive Global Economy Sustainably
6 February 2013: The 2013 Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum was held on the theme "resilient dynamism" and focused on three pillars: leading through adversity; strengthening societal resilience; and restoring economic dynamism.
During the meeting, which was held in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, from 23-27 January 2013, participants considered, among other things, how the global economy can be revived and restored to a path of growth and increased employment. The meeting provided a platform for high-level participants to share ideas and solutions for addressing global, regional, industry and business challenges.
The programme included discussions on a wide variety of sustainable development topics relevant to the current global economy, including those relating to: designing a sustainable future which involves closing the poverty gap and responding to rapid urbanization; ensuring sustainable growth and development within the limits of the Earth's resources; building climate change resilience; ensuring food security; promoting energy security and securing energy access; promoting and producing "green" energy; building economic resilience; catalyzing innovative development partnerships; and addressing global social and environmental challenges through investments.
Speaking at the meeting, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged participants to increase their efforts to achieve global targets on health and education. Stressing that education fosters economic growth and will also help build a peaceful and sustainable future, he called for it to be a top priority on the global political and development agendas.

After an amazing three weeks in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, it was time to leave.
Advertisement for Air Senegal
Advertisement for AF's 6 weekly flights to OUA
Air Burkina flight to ORY (I assume)
After a farewell drink we said good bye to our host families at started to file into the airport…which was a big pain. First you get your passport and itinerary looked at before you even enter the terminal to make sure you are on that flight. Then you check your bags and get your boarding pass. We all got our boarding passes and saw that boarding started at 8:15pm even though our flight left at 10:45pm…we would soon find out why. Then there is a glass door with a lady holding a stack of papers but doesn't tell you what they are for. When she says you can pass, there are three guys putting the AF "carry-on bag" things on people's bags.
Then you go to passport control where they tell you that you need to fill out the paper that the lady was holding. So you go back fill it out then go back to get your exit stamp. Then you dodge the crazy bugs while waiting to go through the metal detector. Before that there was a table with two ladies. One would look at your boarding pass say your seat number and the other would mark it out on a sheet. Then you go though the metal detector. After that you are in the "lounge". Since boarding already started we waited in line. Before you got on the bus to go to the plane, there is a long hallway with about 8 tables and you got your carry on bag hand searched and lastly you get "wanded" with the hand metal detector. It was ridiculous (but we figured for such a poor country they are just creating jobs for people).
Taking photographs in Burkinabé airports is forbidden so I didn't want to risk it inside the airport.
Our bus left the terminal and then we arrived at our plane.
July 14, 2007
Aircraft: A330 (F-GZCA)
Depart: 10:45pm
Arrive: 6:15am (+1 Day)
On the bus coming up to the plane
On the stairs
We waited about another 30 minutes or so before the announcement was made that everyone was onboard and we would take off on time! Then the announcement was made that "due to international law" they had to spray the cabin. About 5 minutes later a F/A is walking up and down the aisles with two aerosol cans (spraying what we thought to be deet). Once that mess settled and we could all breath again, I saw the Air Burkina flight from ORY arrive. A few minutes later we started our taxi to the end of the runway while the safety video played. Once that was finished, the engines roared and had a powerful takeoff.
Looking over Ouagadougou (sorry for the VERY bad quality)
A few minutes after the seatbelt sign was it was announced that we would be getting dinner. I would have preferred breakfast but whatever. Dinner consisted of (this is the only time I saved the menu):
Pesto Pasta Salad
Choice of:
Sauté of lamb with thyme jus accompanied by semolina and sautéed zucchini
- or -
Fillet of monkfish with lemon, Burkina Faso green beans and potatoes
Seasonal fruit salad
Chocolate cake
I took the lamb which was excellent. The pasta and fruit salad were gross and the chocolate cake was decent.
Does OUA have catering facilities at the airport??
The flight was very smooth the entire way.
Right after dinner I fell asleep and woke up with about an hour till landing.
A bad picture of Paris in the background
Landing was nice but with my luck I wasn't facing the terminal (it was parallel to 2A, 2C, 2E)
For some reason we parked at 2F (is there a difference between the two 2F's) and not 2C as stated in the itinerary.
Arrival at 2F
Before exiting the jetway, we had our passports checked and then again at passport control, then again at customs!

Perhaps check with local libraries? They generally have meeting rooms that are free/low-cost for small events (many times free if the event is open to the public).

 Off-topic post -- Anyone know of any free/low-cost event space in the Cleveland/Chattanooga area? Looking to have a photography event, hopefully in the fall. Don't need anything fancy, just an open room, preferably few or no windows, with room for a few photography stations and bathrooms or other rooms suitable for changing areas.

I like the leg on the right. I can't wear slim cut pants, but have to give it a go. I must have this edition because I remember sewing that top! I have my pattern selected. I purposefully chose one from an older Burda with easier tracing :) Hopefully I can trace and muslin this weekend.
It's a bit difficult to tell from the photos but I think your crotch depth is too short. If you add a little length all around your torso it should drop down which might fix part of the problem. There is is post about this here http://www.afashionablestitch.com/2011/sewalongs/in-which-i-finally-talk-about-the-word/
Good luck. I look forward to seeing your progress
Sorry should have added I think you may be able to go down a size if you add the extra length

Six years ago Larry Bird didn't appear to have much of a future. He was a stringy 17-year-old college dropout working on a garbage truck in French Lick, Ind. "That job was one of the best I've had," Bird maintains, though he is now the highest-paid rookie in U.S. sports history, with a $3.25 million, five-year contract. As the National Basketball Association playoffs open this week, there's no dispute about Larry Bird being worth that heady price.
His team, the Boston Celtics, which won a paltry 29 games last season, has led its division—and indeed the league—in victories much of this season. Bird tops the club in scoring, rebounding, steals and minutes played. With his dazzling skills and deft behind-the-back passing—and possibly because he is the first white superstar to join the league since Bill Walton in 1974—Bird is one reason the NBA's network TV ratings have jumped 16 percent.
About the only category in which Bird fails to excel is image. He won't discuss anything but basketball with reporters and fans, and recently he socked a heckler in San Antonio with his duffel bag. Bird has reason to be guarded off-court. His father committed suicide when Larry was 17. Less than two years later his 10-month marriage to high school sweetheart Janet Condra broke up. (Condra has a paternity suit pending against Bird, claiming he fathered her daughter, born two years after their divorce.) After false starts at Indiana University and a local junior college, Bird got a basketball scholarship to Indiana State.
In Boston, he nests in a modest house in the suburb of Brookline and spends much of his time watching TV. He rarely ventures out because, he says, "People seem to act up when I'm around." His companion of three years, Dinah Mattingly, commutes from Indiana. "It helps to have her here when I get back from road trips," Bird explains. After the season he'll head home to French Lick. But for now there's the playoffs—and quite possibly a confrontation with Paul Silas (next page), who has been playing in the NBA since Larry Bird was 7.
At 36, he's Poppa Paul to the younger generation
Paul Silas can't run, jump, shoot, pass or dribble better than your average 5'6" used car salesman. But the Seattle Supersonics' 6'7" forward has lasted 16 pro seasons, competing on playoff teams 14 times. "Paul Silas," says his coach, Lennie Wilkens, "is a winner."
Silas, at 36, is also the oldest active pro player—Poppa Paul to some younger colleagues. When he joined the NBA in 1964, he made $9,000 a year, about $600,000 less as a rookie than Bird, whom Silas will guard if Boston and Seattle reach the finals. Part of that boost in pay scales is due to Silas.
President of the NBA Players Association for the past six years, he has been an articulate spokesman in negotiations with owners. However, he has only lately accepted the role of elder statesman. "It used to bother me to be singled out as the 'old man,' " he says, "because I wasn't the oldest guy in the league. Gail Goodrich was still playing. I felt perhaps there was a suggestion that a black man ages faster than a white man. It doesn't bother me now." (Goodrich retired at 36 in 1979.)
Silas was the youngest of three sons born to a laborer in Prescott, Ark. At 8 he was sent to Oakland, Calif. to live with his grandparents and at 14 made the varsity at McClymonds High School, Bill Russell's alma mater. Both Paul and his brother Bill accepted scholarships to Creighton University in Omaha. Bill suffered a nervous breakdown there and died undergoing shock treatment. "He had a very high IQ," says Paul, "but he just couldn't cope."
Two years after Silas was drafted by the St. Louis Hawks he met wife Carolyn, now 38. But on their first date, she scolds, "he completely ignored me." "I'd heard that she was pretty," Paul explains, "so I didn't want to go in all goo-goo-eyed." They married six months later.
Silas has timing, shrewdness and strength, translated into extraordinary rebounding ability. These qualities have compensated for his shortcomings on the court. He played with four teams before being traded to Seattle in 1977 and has appeared in more than 1,200 games. Next season he could break John Havlicek's record of 1,270 career games. However, Silas hasn't decided yet whether to play next year. Financially secure (at a reported salary of $360,000 a year), he has invested in real estate and thoroughbreds. If he retires as a player, he might try coaching in the pros. In any case, he won't be idle. "Our family motto is hard work," he notes. "If it's easy, it's not worth it."
