Potent shrtwv lifting nnewd thru the Plains trof is moving toward Lk Winnipeg with 12hr h5 hgt falls aprchg 100m. Mstr surge in the warm conveyor belt ribbon ahead of this feature under h85 sw winds up to 40 kts/sharp pres gradient btwn attendant sfc lo pres in nrn Manitoba/attendant cold fnt in the plains and sfc hi pres over Quebec and New England advected 12Z pwats up to about 1.75 inches over INL/MPX, 250-300 pct of normal. Showers on the ern flank of this mstr ribbon are impacting mainly the central zns despite drier, stable airmass shown on the 12Z GRB/APX raobs closer to the sharp upr rdg axis that has kept the far ern cwa dry. Dry slotting following the warm conveyor belt has resulted in a band of partial clrg fm the MN Arrowhead into far nw WI. Looking farther to the w, there is a pronounced cool pool and plenty of lo clds over the nrn Plains spreading into MN under the upr trof/behind cold fnt, with 12Z h85/7 temps at Bismarck, ND, down to 4/-2C. The 12Z h85/925 nw winds at Bismarck were about 50/45 kts and are aiding the strong caa. There are a number of fcst concerns in the short term, mainly pops and winds that wl accompany the passage of the warm conveyor belt mstr ribbon/sfc cold fropa. Late this aftn/tngt...Axis of deep mstr/deep lyr qvector cnvgc under the warm conveyor belt are fcst to shift w-e acrs the cwa thru this evng, exiting the far e arnd 06Z. Since the showers unstream have become less wdsprd, wl fcst no hier than likely pops. Mucapes no more than about 250 j/kg under this warm conveyor belt wl support no more than isold TS. Dry slotting in the wake of the warm conveyor belt/cold fropa wl diminish the pops as early as this evng over the w and may actually bring some brief clrg as obsvd this aftn right behind cold fropa over MN. But then more backwash mstr/lo clds wl surge into the area later tngt in the strengthening cyc w flow behind the fropa. The most wdsprd lo clds and some showers wl impact mainly the hier terrain of the w with arrival of sharper trof axis/some upslope wind component. h85 temps falling to about 4C wl add a lk effect component to the pcpn as well. Mon...Sharp, slowly veering wsw to wnw cyc flow under slow moving trof axis/area of deep lyr qvector cnvgc associated with closed lo driftng thru Ontario just n of Lk Sup wl bring nmrs/even wdsprd lk enhanced showers to mainly the nw half of the cwa. Although no sharp pres rise center that would aid an isallobaric component to the wind is fcst to follow the trof axis, h925 winds up to 40 kts under the thermal troffing wl support wind gusts aprchg advy criteria at exposed locations over the Keweenaw Peninsula by later in the aftn. As the winds veer a bit more toward the w over the ern cwa, waves are fcst to build sufficiently to cause a hi swim risk in the beaches of Alger County late in the day. Fortunately, the wx conditions wl likely discourage swimmers. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 246 PM EDT SUN SEP 25 2016 Focus in the long term continues to be on a low pressure system that will be occluding over or just N of far northern Lake Superior Mon evening. The low will linger in the vicinity of the far northern lake until Tue morning when it will start a slow move to eastern Upper MI by 00Z Wed. The system moves S of the area Tue night, with SFC and upper ridging moving in from the NW on Wed. Main significant impacts will be strong winds near/over Lake Superior and resulting high waves. Certainly will be seeing plenty of rain, but not a worrying amount. Models agree quite well with the track/strength/timing, but some run to run variability still exists, so the wind forecast will continue to need fine-tuning. Expect the strongest winds (at least in the long term) on Monday evening with WNW gusts to 45mph along Lake Superior over the western U.P. and over much of the Keweenaw. NW-N winds will gust 35-40mph near Lake Superior for the rest of Mon night through Tue. Winds will diminish Tue night into Wed. Winds/waves will lead to dangerous swimming conditions on Lake Superior, as well as beach erosion (especially along eastern Lake Superior). No need for a beach hazards statement as temperatures will be below criteria and it will be rainy. Lake enhancement will occur as 850mb Temps will be 1-4C from Mon into early Wed, which when combined with deep cyclonic flow and upslope forcing will lead to lots of rain near Lake Superior and more scattered showers well inland. Winds will favor WNW flow area Mon night, NW-N flow areas Tue, N-NE flow areas Tue night, then diminishing chances in north central Upper MI Wed morning as NE flow remains while ridging increases. Should easily see over an inch of rain Mon night and Tue over the higher terrain of the NW and a quarter to half inch elsewhere near Lake Superior...under a quarter inch south central. Tue night into Wed should add another quarter inch or less of QPF...highest over the higher terrain of the north central. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 103 AM EDT MON SEP 26 2016 With low-level moisture already back on the increase over western Upper MI, lower end MVFR conditions will likely prevail thru the fcst period at KIWD/KCMX as sfc low pres drifts se toward Lake Superior. Expect an increase in -shra coverage as well with deep cyclonic flow and cooling air mass introducing a lake enhanced component to the shra. At KSAW, some drying following recent cold fropa combined with a downslope component to the wind should allow VFR conditions to prevail into the morning hrs. MVFR conditions should redevelop by early aftn and then persist thru the evening. Winds will also become increasingly gusty today with the strongest winds at more exposed KCMX where gusts will reach up to around 35kt in the aftn/evening. && .MARINE...(For the 4 PM Lake Superior forecast issuance) Issued at 409 PM EDT SUN SEP 25 2016 Sse winds that will gale force over portions of the e half of the lake will diminish w to e this evening/tonight along with an approaching cold front/weakening gradient. Maintained going gale warning into late tonight for the far e section of the lake as terrain enhancement may focus stronger winds in this area. A more widespread w gale to 35-40 kts will develop over Lake Superior on Mon under the tightening pres gradient/increasing instability behind a lo pres trof passage. Opted to upgrade the gale watch to a warning for this event. With the slow approach of hi pres, these strong winds will diminish later Tue into Wed. This hi pres will then bring light winds to end the week. && .MQT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Upper Michigan... None. Lake Superior... Gale Warning until 4 AM EDT early this morning for LSZ267.

Carol Hurlbutt Norman, from Gales Ferry, Connecticut, joined the U.S. Navy WAVES in
February 1943. Prior to that she had been employed as a secretary at the New England
Collapsible Tube Co. in New London.
She received her initial training at Iowa State Teacher's College and was then assigned to
the U. S. Naval Construction Training Center, at Camp Endicott, Davisville, Rhode Island. Her
naval occupation is unclear, although it undoubtedly supported the primary objective of the
camp, which was Seabee training. The clippings and memorabilia in her scrapbook indicate her
interest in camp sports, where she played on the WAVES basketball team. Included also are
clippings regarding other WAVE activities throughout the United States, and information related
to the Seabees.
Norman (Y 1/c) was discharged on December 12, 1945. However, evidence indicates that
she may have been involved with the WAVES, perhaps in a recruiting capacity, for several more

John Dudley: High school football teams open season under tighter contact rules
High school football teams across Pennsylvania kick off their seasons this week.
For all the preparations they've made and the hours they've spent polishing technique and timing, there's one thing they've done less than usual this season -- hitting.
At least theoretically.
The PIAA, following what's become a national trend, imposed new limits on full contact at high school practices this season. Teams may block and tackle at live speed for only 90 minutes per week. Previously they were allowed three days of hitting each week.
The change is in keeping with evolving research on concussions that suggests, rather obviously, that fewer collisions leads to fewer instances of head trauma.
Other states have passed rules more or less lenient than Pennsylvania's. In California, high school players can go live for three hours a week. In Texas, teams are limited to one 90-minute full contact practice a week.
Response has been mixed, and fairly predictable.
Medical types and safety advocates have celebrated restrictions that will, based on research, cut down on injuries.
Some coaches and other athletic officials have expressed concern that decreased live instruction time will lead to improper form tackling and blocking, thus increasing the likelihood for dangerous hits.
The reality is that most coaches had already begun trending toward less contact and more technique in practices, particularly during the regular season.
While a certain level of live hitting is necessary, particularly during camp, to hash out starting positions, excessive contact during the season serves little purpose.
A few years ago, when the PIAA first began seriously examining the idea of limiting contact, several local coaches, including Cathedral Prep's Mike Mischler and former McDowell coach Mark Soboleski, both said they had already scaled back the number and intensity of fully padded workouts.
Mischler said many high school coaches have for years been slowly evolving toward more of a college model emphasizing refined techniques and, to a degree, de-emphasizing the violent collisions that used to be a staple of some rite-of-passage drills.
High schools are hardly alone.
The NFL, spurred by demands from its players union during collective bargaining, has dramatically cut back on the number of padded practices teams can hold each season.
Some college conferences, including the Ivy League and Pac 12, already have implemented across-the-board rules cutting down on live practice time, and PSAC commissioner Steve Murray told media day attendees earlier this month that additional, more comprehensive restrictions are in the pipeline from the NCAA.
And Pop Warner last year experimented with rules that allow hitting for no more than one-third of practice time.
There will be lingering questions about whether controls imposed in the interest of safety at the youth level will lead to increasingly poor technique at higher levels. Arguably, the worst form tacklers on the planet play in the NFL.
And it will be interesting to see, beginning this fall, whether there is a noticeable decline in fundamentals in Pennsylvania high school games.
Yet common sense dictates that until football equipment manufacturers come up with a safer helmet design -- perhaps one using external padding, technology that exists but inexplicably has failed to catch on -- limiting collisions in controlled practice settings is the best way to prevent unnecessary injuries.
The good news is, most conscientious coaches began figuring that out a long time ago.

I'm on version 4.3U, hacked and everything, but I don't know how to get these .wad files from my computer to my Wii. Anybody out there willing to explain this process to me or point me in the right direction? BTW, I'm a complete newb so if you explain it, I would greatly appreciate it if you did so in a VERY easy to understand fashion.

Just download the .wad file you want to install to the computer, then insert your SD Card using SD Card Reader and place the wad files in a folder called "wad" in the root of your SD Card. Then use Wad Manager to install the wad files to your wii.
Wow I really didn't think that it would be that easy. Well thanks!
Once a wad file is installed via wad manager, can it be deleted from the sd card? I'm assuming not, but figured I'd ask
Okay, so I tried what you guys told me to do, and every time, with any .wad file, I get this:

If using MMM , in the main menu select Load another IOS and choose IOS236 or IOS249. Then try to install the wad.

Single Gun Theory
Flawlessly executed tracks brushed with Indian, Turkish, and South-East Asian sounds punctuate Single Gun Theory's lush dance grooves: one that ultimately fails to convey the depth suggested by the new age themes and multicultural music. Kath Power's lyrics are emotive, yet Jacqui Hunt's vocals cast a veil of detachment on proceedings; a tendency successfully pushed to the limit in the rarefied ballad "Great Palaces of Immortal Splendour." The coldness dissipates during the sample-laden singles "I Am What I See" and "From a Million Miles," but aptly sounds almost psychotic on "Man of Straw." Like Stars in My Hands... brought national prominence to the trio in Australia, and their sampled, catchy style lent itself well to film -- several of these tracks found there way onto Australian soundtracks while "I Am What I See" was used as the theme for the ABC-TV's Review program. Like Stars in My Hands... makes an excellent introduction to Single Gun Theory's dance before the follow-up Flow, River of My Soul would mark a more laid-back ethereal direction. ~ Brendan Swift, All Music Guide

How to Make a Megaman Robot Master
Ever wanted to make Megaman robot masters? Well here is a guide to help you make one.
1Think of a concept. Example: Thunder Man is a storm powered robot master with very fast speed.
2Think of what the stage is going to be like. Example: Sub Man's stage is taken place underwater.
3Next think of the level theme. Will it be catchy or will it suit the atmosphere. Example: Cactus Man's theme will suit his desert level.
4What's the difficulty of the Robot Master. Example: Steel Man's fight is fun, intense and challenging.
5Think of the robot master weakness. Example: Heat Man is weak to Bubble Man's weapon, Bubble Lead.
6Think about the weapon Mega Man gets after beating him/her. Think of the pros and cons. Example: Diamond Man's Diamond Disc shoots discs in all 8 directions, However it can only shoot one disc at a time.
7Think of the Robot Master's design. Example: Rocket Man is designed like a rocket.
8Think of something that makes it unique. Example: Phantom Man is the first half deformed robot master.
9Have fun making your Robot Master

Ask a Question
If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- It doesn't have to be a man. Splash Woman from Mega Man 9 was the first female robot master.
- If you want, make your Robot Master a relative to another Robot Master
- Make your Robot Master theme an element or something. Example Glacier Man is a snow/ice themed robot master.
- Don't rush the design or it'll turn out terrible.
- Don't steal ideas or names. You could get into trouble. Unless your robot master is unrelated to stuff that's already been done before.
- Be sure to be careful if decide to post it on the internet, because people might say: "This Stinks.", "Bad Design.", "To unoriginal.", "WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS STUPID STUFF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!1?!?!?!?!", and "OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO BAD!!!!!

The author of this video decided to build this to fight back at the electric company. "I live in Florida, and if there's one thing we have plenty of, it's sunshine. This unit was fun and inexpensive to build, it will run for years maintenance free and provide my hot water heater with pre-heated water, so that it will not have to work very hard (maybe not even at all) to get the water up to desired temperature. I used Google sketchup as a CAD program to design the frame and I'm willing to share with anyone that is interested, just send me your email address."

All natural digestive aid with plant enzymes and probiotics. This product assists in the digestion and absorption of nutrients which are necessary to maintain good health. It relieves the extra burden placed on the digestive system, as this product breaks down fats, carbohydrates, cellulose and protein. Enzyme and probiotic supplementation is a good preventive measure to ensure good health. No lactose, sugars, or preservatives.
Digestive enzymes are special types of protein molecules that catalyze the breakdown of food into components that can be utilized by the body. These proteins are not stored in the body but are released based on the anticipation aroma or actual presence of food in the digestive system. Because they are not stored they must be taken with each meal, preferably with the food. Animal Essential's enzymes contain a blend of plant and microbial produced enzymes. None of them are from animal sources.
Each enzyme is highly specific as to the class of food it works on and the temperature and pH of its effective range of activity. Animal derived enzymes will work in only one area of the digestive system, while plant and microbial enzymes work throughout the whole system, from mouth through the stomach into the intestines. As the body ages less enzymes are produced and supplementation is necessary to assure optimum health.
To maintain optimum health in an animal it needs to be fed an optimum diet, but also needs to have digestive efficiency necessary to assimilate the food ingredients. The digestive efficiency can be reduced by stress of any sort, excitement , anxiety (travel separation, working stress and so on). To insure optimum digestion and health we recommend the addition of this supplement to each meal. For optimum utilization the supplement should be added to the food and should be moistened shortly before feeding to be effective.
Since Animal Essential's enzymes are derived from plant and microbial sources they are active throughout the whole gastrointestinal tract not in a specific section, as animal derived enzymes are. These enzymes are active from pH of 3 to 9 and at a temperature of about 100 Degrees Fahrenheit. Animal derived enzymes either work in the stomach at a low pH or in the intestine at much higher pH. Since ours work over a broader range they are active longer in the system at reducing the food into usable components.

works for my cat and dog
By Feline/K-9 Mom
My newest cat suffered from severe and horribly stinky diahrea....who knows what he was eating to survive. My vet recommended this and it's amazing; it has worked wonders and he now rarely has diahria and the smell is tolerable and no longer makes you want to run from the house. My elderly dog has cancer that affects his ability to deficate. This has relieved his gas and seems to make him feel much better. THANK YOU!!
Great for senior cat with pancreatitis
By Hillary
from Napa, CA
I've used this product for about 6 months now as a supplement for my 13-year-old Maine Coon/Siamese mix who was diagnosed with mild IBD and pancreatitis. In combination with his limited-ingredient, novel protein diet, this product has been wonderfully effective. At his worst, he was vomiting 3-5 times a week and just looked haggard. Now, he hardly ever vomits (except for the occasional hairball) and is happy and energetic. I'm convinced this product made a huge difference in his health and continue to use it every day, 1/4 teaspoon mixed into his wet food at night. I would recommend it for all senior cats, especially ones with any digestive issues.
Great probiotic for my dog's irritated feet.
By Tammy

About Me New Pet Owner
My yellow lab's feet we're pinkish, everything I read indicated that he may have a yeast overgrowth that irritates his skin on his feet and belly. My dog only eats holistic grain free dog food but we picked up hearty bones as a treat, and they contain some flours that we think may have triggered the yeast problem. After a few weeks , he is doing great and has white feet again.
Works well
By Judith

Use twice daily to promote healthy doo-doo. And it works. Doesn't go overboard, isn't hard to find the right amount to use, looks clean, doesn't smell funny, and it helped my dog.
Tried many probiotics but this one is the most effective
By Oakland6
from Central,NY
My dog had some major gut issues last year and this plus ONP Digestive Enzyme have helped get him back on track. The vet said he would be on Pred the rest of his life, well he's down to 1/4 mg every 3 days and very soon I will eliminate it all together. I attribute his improvement to both of these products.
By poseidon_92
from Texas
I have a 9 yr old cockapoo/spaniel mix. He has a lot of skin allergies and I thought since everything starts in the guy I'd try this. He is on the Hill's prescription z/d diet. So far all this has done is make his stools very runny; been using it about 2 weeks now. I may switch to the immunity one since that will help with his allergies more.

Johann Sebastian Bach's only physical problem seems to have been his vision. Myopia seems most likely, and it is probable that he developed cataracts at an older age. In addition to the cataracts, his worsening vision may have been due in part to some other eye problem. During the last year of his life, Bach's vision became so poor that he decided to have his eyes operated on. Two operations were performed in 1750 by the traveling English eye surgeon John Taylor. Most likely the first operation was Taylor's standard couching procedure. About 1 week after the first operation, Bach had to be operated on again because of a reappearance of the cataract. Many painful and/or vision-reducing complications could have been induced by these intraocular operations: uveitis or endophthalmitis, secondary glaucoma, hemorrhage, retinal detachment, and even sympathetic ophthalmia. Bach was "completely blind" after the operations, and he died less than 4 months after the final operation.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is probably the most famous composer of all time, and his music is still the gold standard for many practicing musicians as well as for listeners of classical music. Unfortunately, an unknown but substantial amount of his work is lost. The same applies to information about Bach's private life. In contrast to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, for example, who had a vivid and abundant correspondence with his family members, only a few of Bach's letters have survived.
Two biographies have been written by persons who knew Bach, or who interviewed people who had known him personally.1,2 Bach's biographies are Nekrolog auf Johann Sebastian Bach (1754), by Bach's eldest son, Carl Philipp Emanuel, in collaboration with a former pupil of Bach's, Friedrich Agricola1; and Ueber Johann Sebastian Bachs Leben, Kunst und Kunstwerke (1802), by Johann Nikolaus Forkel.2 The writers of the Nekrolog did not themselves witness much of the last years of Bach's life. They no longer lived in Bach's home; both had worked since 1747 as musicians in Potsdam. Forkel relied heavily on the Nekrolog in writing his biography but also interviewed many persons who had known Bach, including Bach's sons Carl Philipp Emanuel and Wilhelm Friedemann. All later biographies of Bach are based on these works.
Furthermore, only one portrait of Bach is undoubtedly authentic. The portrait commissioned by Bach and painted by Elias Gottlob Haussmann (1695-1774), dated 1746, shows Bach holding his trademark: a triple canon for 6 voices (BWV 1076) as proof of his highly developed skills as a composer. Bach's second wife, Anna Magdalena, considered the portrait a good likeness. Unfortunately, when the painting underwent major restoration in 1913, the details of the portrait were altered considerably.3 In 1950, a studio copy of the original portrait was discovered in the United States, also by Haussmann, signed and dated 1748 (Figure 1). This copy gives a rough idea of Bach's appearance.
The 1748 painting of Bach by Elias Gottlob Haussmann (courtesy of William H. Scheide, Princeton, NJ).4
Dubious resources of uncertain authenticity are interesting but not reliable. For example, a skeleton alleged to be Bach's was found in 1894 and examined by Wilhelm His, professor of anatomy at the University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany, and father of Wilhelm His, Jr, who discovered the atrioventricular muscle bundle in the heart that is named after him, the bundle of His.5 Another example is the pair of reading glasses (+2.5 diopters [D] sphere and −0.5 D cylinder; the axis cannot be given as the lenses are freely movable within their frame) that supposedly belonged to Bach, but these also can never be proven to have been in his possession.6
This article comments on the ophthalmologic aspects of Johann Sebastian Bach, as viewed by a present-day ophthalmologist.
Bach's only physical problem seems to have been his vision. His eyes had "naturally bad vision" (Sein von Natur blödes Gesicht), and "this was further weakened by a lot of studying, sometimes even all night long, especially during his youth."1(p167)
Myopia has been suggested by several authors on the basis of Bach's appearance in the Haussmann painting, which shows "the vertical furrows running upward from the bridge of the nose as well as the narrowed eyes, the result of myopia."7(p1797) The word myopia is derived from Greek and means "squeezing." However, other refractive errors such as hyperopia and astigmatism can also cause narrowing of the eyelids.
Myopia is generally preferable to hyperopia, since myopic people have adequate near vision. For a musician who has not yet matured and is still mastering his art by extensive note reading and writing, near vision is essential. This suggests that Bach was probably myopic. Hyperopia or astigmatism would have been much less compatible with his daily activities. Furthermore, Bach was at risk for myopia; as he was a scholastic success (one of the best students in his school, and he even skipped a year), he performed a lot of near work and he read considerably.8
Bach's myopia can only have been moderate. With a refractive error of −2 D, his far point would have been 50 cm. A higher refractive error of, for example, −5 D would have given Bach difficulty playing the church organ, his favorite instrument. He used both feet for playing the pedals of the church organ, and this required leaning back on the seat to free the legs for this action. Bending forward to read a music score at the church organ while also using both hands at the keyboard calls for at least one foot on the ground to maintain balance; the greater the refractive error, the worse this problem would become. Recognizing faces on the street certainly would have been a problem for a moderately myopic individual in the era before spectacle correction. Spectacles could have solved this problem, but the use of spectacles for anything other than reading was not widespread until a century after Bach's death.9 Biographies do not mention the use of glasses by Bach at all.
Amblyopia is another theoretic possibility, but there is no evidence to support this. Bilateral amblyopia from severe hyperopia or astigmatism is also a theoretical possibility, but it would have also impaired near vision. Bilateral amblyopia due to myopia is exceedingly rare, but some near vision might be retained.
It seems that in general Bach was in good health, except in his final year. Considering the amazing amount of music he wrote, the almost continuous demand for performances, the care of the 20 children he had with his 2 successive spouses, his concern for numerous students who lived in his house, and the vigorous appearance of Bach in his 61st year in the Haussmann painting, it is most unlikely that he could have suffered any serious or chronic diseases. Furthermore, biographies explicitly mention Bach's strength and healthy constitution: seinen übrigen noch sehr muntern Seelen—und Leibeskräften (his lively soul—and body strengths).1
The only known period of sickness occurred between 1730 and 1740, when Bach had to cancel a journey to Halle, Germany, to meet George Frideric Handel, a contemporary composer who was also born in 1685.1 Nothing is known about the nature and duration of this illness. Additional information about Bach's physical appearance is given by the Haussmann portrait, which shows that Bach was obese.
Another striking feature is his narrowed eyelids (Figure 2). A closer look seems to give the impression of dermatochalasis; this has no serious clinical implications except that it can sometimes restrict the superior visual field.
Detail of the eyes of Bach according to Haussmann, 1748 (courtesy of William H. Scheide, Princeton, NJ).4
According to his contemporary biographies, Bach's eyesight deteriorated as he aged. There are many possible explanations for this, with cataract being the most logical. There are no clues suggesting or excluding other diseases, such as glaucoma or age-related macular degeneration. It seems unlikely that his vision deteriorated as a result of a sequela of myopia, because his myopia seems to have been only mild.
During the last year of his life, Bach's vision became so poor that he decided, after persuasion by his friends, to have his eyes operated on. Two operations were performed in 1750 by the traveling English ophthalmiater "Chevalier" John Taylor (1703 or 1708-1772), who happened to be in Leipzig.
Taylor had completed a surgical training in England; he also attended lectures by Hermann Boerhaave in the Netherlands and learned the art of couching from Jean Louis Petit in France.10 After his training, Taylor started practicing in Switzerland, where he blinded hundreds of patients, he once confessed. During his working life, he spent most of his time traveling around in a coach painted all over with eyes and the words qui dat videre dat vivere (giving sight is giving life). His travels took him over the greater part of Europe and beyond, to Russia and Persia, where even kings and emperors were among his patients. More than once he was robbed and almost killed during his travels. Taylor knew a lot about ophthalmology and left scientific articles in several languages. He was the first to describe keratoconus, which he also illustrated in a recognizable way. In the surgical approach to strabismus by means of cutting an eye muscle, he was ahead of his time. This made Taylor a rare combination of a man of serious science and a charlatan in daily practice.
Patients in the second half of the 18th century were operated on while seated upright in a chair and held tightly by a helper, who made sure the patient did not move at crucial moments in this era without anesthetics being in common use (Figure 3). The only anesthetics were alcohol and opiates. Taylor was known to use a spatula to press the upper eyelid against the orbital wall, a technique used by other surgeons as well.12 By pressing the deep tissues of the superior orbital quadrants through the upper sulcus with this spatula, it would be possible to achieve some anesthesia. Parts of the nasociliary nerve or its branches that form the short posterior ciliary nerves were damaged. These latter nerves supply sensory innervation to the cornea, iris, and corpus ciliare, and hence some pain was reduced in these areas. A resultant advantage to this approach was fixation of the bulbus.
Impression of couching in the 18th century, showing the surgeon and a helper to hold the patient tightly, as was necessary in the preanesthetic era (Lorenz Heister, 1718).11
Because Taylor was right-handed, he preferred operating on the left eye of the seated patient, even if this was the healthy one! Even physicians in his time, such as Eschenbach, who wrote a whole book about Taylor and his operations, criticized this approach.13 Taylor's habit of covering the wounds he made with a bandage was also criticized because it increased the risk of infection. Patients were allowed to remove the bandage only after 5 to 6 days, when Taylor had already moved on to the next town to operate on new victims. Often he charged exorbitant amounts of money for these interventions, depending on the wealth of the patient. If they were not able to pay cash, he also accepted valuables like gold watches.
The first operation on Bach took place between March 28 and 31, 1750, and the second one was performed between April 5 and 7.14 Most likely the first operation was Taylor's standard couching procedure, which took him 9 pages to describe in his book Cataract and Glaucoma (1736).10 In this operation, an incision a little larger than 4 mm was positioned about 3.5 mm posterior to the limbus. With a planoconvex needle, the posterior capsule was opened and followed by anterior and downward movement of the needle so that the opaque lens was displaced inferiorly into the vitreous. In the dissertation by Johann Philipp Schnitzlein dated 1750, this technique of cataract surgery is illustrated by an artist's impression (Figure 4).
Ideal method of couching by toppling and pushing down the lens via a posterior (scleral) approach, according to J. P. Schnitzlein in his 1750 dissertation.11
About 1 week after the first operation, Bach had to be operated on again because of a reappearance of the cataract (wieder aufgetreteten Stahrs).13 It is possible that the couching was followed by an anterior displacement of the lens, pupillary block, and glaucoma.
What exactly took place during the operations will never be known, but Taylor's general approach included bloodletting, laxatives, and eyedrops of blood from slaughtered pigeons, pulverized sugar, or baked salt.13 He sometimes made periocular incisions, which then were covered with bandages that incorporated baked apple or a coin. In cases of serious inflammation, Taylor prescribed large doses of mercury. This all took place in the preantiseptic era. Many painful and/or vision-reducing complications could have been induced by these intraocular operations: uveitis or endophthalmitis, secondary glaucoma, hemorrhage, retinal detachment, and even (after 4-8 weeks) sympathetic ophthalmia.
We will never know whether Taylor operated on one or both eyes on both occasions. He may have operated the second time because the result was not quite as he wished the first time, or he may have operated on the second eye on another date just as these days we operate on the 2 eyes with an interval.
According to the newspaper Vossische Zeitung (1750, No. 41), Bach was able to see much better after the first operation, supporting the suggestion of cataract displacement giving a little or some improved vision.15 However, the newspaper might have been influenced by Taylor himself, who had a very well-developed sense of public relations and who often advertised in local newspapers to announce his arrival and miraculous operations.
The biographies indicate that Bach was completely blind after the second operation, and that he felt ill and experienced painful eyes.1,2 However, Forkel2 stated that Bach's eyes were painful even before the operations took place. Since Forkel wrote his biography more than half a century after Bach had died and gained most of his information indirectly, it seems possible that this description was erroneous.
The blindness and pain after Taylor's interventions are compatible with most of the possible postoperative complications described, especially the ones concerning inflammation and/or secondary rise of pressure.
Because Bach was "completely blind" after the second operation, it can be postulated that this was due to operations on both eyes. This is a possibility, but it is also possible that one eye was already (almost) completely blind before the operations took place. If this was true about his right eye, he could indeed have lost vision completely by Taylor's preference for operating on the left eye. Furthermore, the expression completely blind used by medical laymen who wrote his biographies might not have been the interpretation of modern ophthalmologists.
Bach never recovered fully after the operations. The sources mention a sudden return of his vision a few days before his death, which was followed by a stroke. This was followed by hitsiges Fieber (burning fever), leading to his death on July 28, 1750, at 6:15 PM, in the 66th year of his life, despite the care of 2 of the most skillful physicians in Leipzig.1 Bach died less than 4 months after his final operation.
A sudden, brief, spontaneous return of his vision seems unlikely after a prolonged period of inflammation and/or elevated intraocular pressure. It may have been a hallucination or the Charles Bonnet syndrome, in which patients experience complex visual hallucinations.16 This syndrome is associated with impairment or loss of vision due to deafferentation that causes sensory cortex to exhibit spontaneous independent activity with resultant conscious imagery. Stroke in those days was a nonspecific term and may have indicated merely that Bach lost consciousness.
The fever suggests an infection. It is very difficult to make a clear connection between the operations and the illness that killed him. It seems unlikely that a postoperative endophthalmitis would have smoldered for 4 months before causing a fatal sepsis. Certainly the operations, bloodletting, and/or purgatives would have weakened him and predisposed him to new infections.
It is also worth remembering that the old expression hitsiges Fieber has been variously translated as "fever as convulsion of the soul" or "fever as spasm of the blood vessels accompanied by tachycardia."17
Bach was buried anonymously, as was Mozart, 3 days after his death, in a grave without any obvious stone or mark, near the St Johannes Kirche in Leipzig. When the church was rebuilt in 1894, the alleged mortal remains of Bach were reburied in the church itself. After this church was heavily bombed during World War II, the alleged remains were moved to the St Thomas Kirche in Leipzig, where they still remain.
One can only speculate about the fate of this great composer. The only inarguable fact is the body of music Bach left us, sounding still as fresh today as it did the day he put it on paper. Whatever eye diseases Bach might have suffered during his life, they never stopped him from creating divine music.

A Rabbi's World
The JW Q&A
First Person
One of my very favorite movies is Rob Reiner's The Princess Bride , based on the classic novel by William Goldman. The movie is wonderful for a whole host of reasons, but essentially, it is a whimsical riff on the idea of "true love." Wesley and Buttercup, the hero and heroine, endure all kinds of outrageous misfortune, but ultimately, their destiny is to be together.mTrue love wins out.
After a particularly nasty encounter with some medieval torture machines, Wesley is brought to a pair of alleged miracle healers, played hysterically by Billy Crystal and Carol Kane. In the bargaining that goes on to determine whether the friends can afford the healing that Wesley desperately needs, Crystal asks them whether their friend is totally dead, or only partially or mostly dead. That, in turn, would determine what kind of miracle is in play- a total miracle, a partial miracle, etc.
Why, you might well ask, am I bringing up The Princess Bride? Actually, I think about it a lot these days.
In the context of my relatively recent appointment as President of the Rabbinical Assembly, the professional organization of Conservative rabbis, I am now one of the men and women with whom people feel comfortable (compelled?) to share their observations on the Conservative movement as a whole. We have a few well-documented problems and issues, as most of you reading this will know. So, rare is the day that goes by when I don't receive at least one or two e-mails, and a few calls, telling me some usually (but not always) well-meaning person's perception that the movement is- pick your adjective- ill, gravely ill, hospice-ready… you get the picture. Anything at all negative written about the movement in the press- and there's more than a little- gets forwarded to me multiple times by someone who just wants to make sure that, in case I was having a decent moment, I was aware of what's out there. Thank you, all! I assure you, I'm all over these pronouncements.
And, at least once or twice a day, I find myself thinking of Billy Crystal and Carol Kane and wondering exactly what kind of miracle we need… do we need a total miracle to resuscitate this movement that I so love, or just a partial one? Is it really that bad?
In the midst of this miracle imaging, my wife and I were invited to spend a Shabbat at Camp Ramah in the Berkshires. Robin and I both worked there for many years, and all four of our children were both campers and, ultimately, staff members. One is on staff this summer. But beyond the family connection, and also the fact that I have quite a few campers and staff members from my own synagogue at Ramah, my visit was actually in the context of my RA presidency.
A Shabbat at Ramah presented me with a wonderful opportunity to engage the committed members of the Conservative congregations in this area, both young and old, in an environment ripe for learning. I had the chance to teach Torah at a variety of services on Shabbat morning. That was a treat that reminded me how much I miss being in camp! And, I also had the opportunity to address staff members at a Friday night Oneg Shabbat program, and one on Shabbat afternoon as well. We had open and honest talks about the issues within the movement- particularly those issues relating to campus life- and I took home with me a far greater appreciation of the nature and extent of the challenges confronting us than I came with.
But without a doubt, what impressed me the most about my Shabbat at Camp Ramah in the Berkshires was how vibrant and alive the spiritual community was. The energy was obvious and passionate, and it manifested itself most emphatically at Shabbat dinner- not a softball game, or a Frisbee game, but Shabbat dinner. When the time came for the singing of Z'mirot- the special Shabbat table songs that are an intrinsic part of a traditional Shabbat meal- the dining room erupted in an impassioned celebration of the sheer joy of being together, and spending Shabbat together.
I wished, at that moment, that I could gather all the talking heads who want to place my movement in hospice and show them that there is life and vitality in our movement, and not just in Ramah in the Berkshires and its sister camps. Yes, there are issues in the Schechter world, but many of our best, most knowledgeable and and most committed young people have been, and continue to be, Schechter alumni. Yes, there is a great and pressing need to upgrade our efforts on college campuses- and we are trying to address that in an urgent way. Yes, our demographics are difficult, and not promising… but it's simply not true that our synagogues are all failing, and devoid of meaningful spiritual growth opportunities.I most certainly don't feel that way in my own synagogue on Shabbat morning, and my community faces demographic change as serious as any other. There is life in our movement- lots of life. But there is work to be done… One truth does not preclude the other.
So, to Billy Crystal and Carol Kane, I would say this. We don't need a total miracle, because the patient isn't totally dead- not by a long shot. I'm not even sure that we need a partial miracle. What we need is energy, passion, commitment, a willingness to explore new avenues of engagement, and the money to make our best and most imaginative ideas come to life. That last one sometimes feels like it requires the biggest miracle of all.
But Shabbat at Camp Ramah provided me with a much-needed tonic. It reminded me why the great effort needed to re-energize the Conservative movement is, ultimately, so important. The future of our movement was all around me in that dining room on Friday night. They shouldn't have to depend on a miracle.

Great article. My kids have attended Ramah for 2 summers and loved it. Shabbat there was so special for them!! But camp is expensive (especially if you are paying day school tuition also) and that is the problem with Jewish life today. Its only for the very rich. Ramah and the Jewish world needs to examine this issue.
Make our synagogue davening and learning experiences more like Ramah and people will come (both from our movement and from others as well). Everyone knows it...everyone says it...but, unfortunately nobody does it!

Are all businesses included in the economic census?
The economic census covers nearly all businesses and industries in the private, non-farm U.S. Economy. For a list of industries not covered by the Economic Census - see Codes Not Covered in the 2007 Economic Census User Guide. Many small businesses with paid employees do not receive census forms - data are obtained from administrative sources. Although not every business receives a census form, the published totals reflect all covered businesses.
The economic census includes only businesses with paid employees. Data for businesses without paid employees are available annually in Nonemployer Statistics.

Waterford Township-borough dispute threatens chip plant
WATERFORD -- KLN Family Brands officials weren't pulling punches a day after Waterford Township sewer and water authority officials voted to block the way for their expansion and resurrection of the former Troyer Farms plant.
On Thursday, the township's sewer and water board was deadlocked 2-2 and could not muster the majority needed to approve a plan for a 7,000-foot water and sewer line extension that would send municipal water to the plant as township officials said they were hung up on disputes with the borough of Waterford.
On Friday, KLN officials responded by saying their company would be struggling if they operated like local government.
"It is a crying shame when government bodies have the ability to hold up progress when the business has followed all the rules and regulations," read a statement signed by company President Kenny Nelson and Vice President Charlie Nelson. The two own the business.
That frustration was shared by local officials like Erie County Councilman Edward T. DiMattio Jr., who said he was feeling "disgusted" Friday and called the authority's decision "very small minded." He said the dispute boils down to whether the township or the borough will see the monetary benefit of the added water use.
"They're risking jobs because intermunicipal agreements can't be worked out," DiMattio said. "Now, I'm concerned (KLN's) future plans might not include Waterford or Erie County."
It's been about five months since DevelopErie officials announced Minnesota-based KLN Family Brands was buying the 160,000-square-foot former Troyer Farms facilities, which has been dormant since Bickel's Snack Foods Inc. stopped using it in early 2011.
KLN officials quickly announced plans to expand the facility on Route 97, which will be used to produce potato chips and other snacks for their Barrel O' Fun brand.
Those expansion plans hinge on access to municipal water not currently connected to the plant, but KLN has faced multiple obstacles to making that happen despite a willingness to cover the cost of the waterline extension.
The project was slowed by an archaeological search for American Indian artifacts, but Brian Garlick, general manager of the Waterford Township plant, said that work was completed without finding anything that would slow work down further.
KLN officials weren't so lucky in securing approval for an agreement to start construction on the water line, which was approved by borough and township officials before being held up by the township's water and sewer authority board.
Garlick said the plant should still be open and operational by July 14 temporarily using well water, but the uncertainty could have a chilling effect on expansion.
"Coming into this we thought it would be easy," Garlick said. "It's a 7,000-foot line offered at no cost to the township. So, now we're wondering, 'Are we going to have to go through this fight every time we develop the property?' It really affects our view on future development."
DevelopErie is working with KLN on the $7 million project to create the new line and add on-site water treatment.
The plant will open with 25 to 40 employees but company officials had plans to grow that number into the hundreds.
Flory Kondzielski voted against the water line development twice, once as a township supervisor and then as a member of the water and sewer authority. Kondzielski said he doesn't oppose KLN moving into town, but he believes the company tried to circumvent the township by signing a water agreement with the borough.
"I feel terrible that jobs won't materialize like they want," Kondzielski said. "But the township was just getting the short end of the stick."
Kondzielski said he hopes the other entities involved will instead adopt a different development agreement that was presented in March and he said was more "fair and equitable to all the parties involved."
Pat Long, the other member of the township water and sewer authority who voted against the agreement, also pointed to issues between the borough and the township as the reason he withheld support.
Compounding the frustration for KLN officials is the fact that a majority of the five water and sewer authority members support the agreement, but it failed to get approval because one -- Stephen Waite -- couldn't attend the meeting.
Waite said he missed the meeting because he is in a master's degree program at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and had a class at the same time.
He said he talked to Kondzielski about leaving his class to teleconference into the meeting and vote on the agreement, but that call never came.
"I'm very disappointed and very upset," Waite said.
Two members of the water and sewer authority board, Dave Morrison and John Orr, were so upset by the result of the vote that they resigned on the spot Thursday, although those resignations don't become official until they are approved by township supervisors.
"I tried telling everyone 'don't make this hard,'" Morrison said of the discussions leading up to the vote. "But some couldn't separate the development agreement from other issues. It's a loss for the community every way around."
Both Garlick and DevelopErie Chief Operating Officer Regina Smith said they will continue to look at different ways to make the water line a reality, despite the governmental issues, and there could still be a positive outcome for KLN.
Waterford Township Supervisor Bruce Coffin said the supervisors plan to hold a special meeting Monday night where they plan to vote to supersede the water and sewer authority's decision.
"Because of the way it was created, I believe we have the power to direct the authority," Coffin said.
Coffin said he considered calling a special meeting of the water and sewer authority instead, but Morrison and Orr's resignations made that more difficult.

text: When Orlando Figueroa was a child in Puerto Rico, the early years of the space race captured his imagination, and he wondered what it would be like to travel into space. After achieving multiple degrees in mechanical engineering in Puerto Rico and the U.S., he accomplished, in a big way, his childhood goal. He has served as the Director for Mars Exploration and the Director for the Solar System Division in the Office of Space Science at NASA Headquarters, and also as the Deputy Center Director for Science and Technology at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. And he was one of the many people behind the successful Curiosity Mars rover. You can see why he has been given the unofficial title of "The Mars Czar!" Mr. Figueroa came to speak at the Museum recently as part of an event held by PROFESA, the Puerto Rican Professional Association. PROFESA works to help strengthen Puerto Rican community organizations, and is anchored on three pillars: culture, network, and empowerment. Young people from the community who were here to listen to Mr. Figueroa could see not only see that hard work pays off, but also see that with inspiration and lots of determination, you can even become a Mars Czar.


text: I would like to remind everyone driving through the Salladasburg area (especially those working for the gas industry). The speed limit is 30 mph! Not 40, 50, or 60! There are at least 6 speed limit signs posted throughout town. It's bad enough we have to put up with such large vehicles, you needn't be speeding on top of it. And those who live around there should know better.

Even as far-flung neighborhoods in Netcong, Byram and Stanhope get power restored, the backbones of the three municipal operations remain in the dark.
The police department, town hall, sewage facility and two schools in Byram remain without power - and recent reports have the same situation persisting in Netcong and Stanhope, said Scott Olson, Byram's deputy mayor.
It's been 12 days, he points out.
"Some circuit's out that makes no sense," Olson said this afternoon. "These are all supposed to be priorities. You've got essential infrastructure down here."
The township sent a letter to JCP&L's president, Donald M. Lynch, yesterday putting the power Company on notice that the town would be seeking damages for letting the emergency services go without electricity for 11 days- and still counting.
"It is appalling and disgraceful that your company has not prioritized our facility- which is a complete disservice to the residents of Byram Township," wrote Joseph Sabatini, the town's manager.

One of the things that you will likely spend a great deal of money over time is insurance. Health insurance, car insurance, life insurance, home insurance and other types of insurance are all required to adequately protect your assets and your family. If you are shopping around for insurance for the first time, or just reviewing your current policy to make sure it is what you need, comparing rates can save you money.
The process of buying insurance can take more time, but you can get a good start on the process by comparing insurance rates. Here is how you can get a cost comparison in 55 seconds:
- Decide what coverage you want: The first thing you need to do is figure out what insurance coverage you want. How much car insurance will you need? Do you need comprehensive? Or is collision and liability enough? What coverage amounts do you want? With life insurance, you can get a quick thumbnail of how much coverage you need by multiplying your annual salary by 10. Before making your final decision, you'll want to sit down and better work out your needs, but, for now, establish a ballpark figure for the types of coverage you want, and the coverage amounts you are likely to need. (16 seconds)
- Gather the information you need: Quickly get the information you will need to get an insurance quote. This usually includes ZIP code, Social Security number, name, and driver's license number. You might also need to be prepared to answer questions about your accident history, how much you drive, and your general health. (10 seconds)
- Use an online aggregator to get general quotes: Using the information you have, head over to an insurance quote aggregrator. You can enter the information into the form, and then receive your quotes. Make sure that the web site you use will actually provide you with a list of possible quotes, rather than sending your information off to a bunch agents. This will give you an overview of what you can expect to pay, and help you identify the best deals. (29 seconds)
After you have this information, you will have a pretty good idea of what to expect. If you have more time, you can refine your needs, and you can also contact local insurance agents for help. In some cases, you might be able to get a better customized quote from a local insurance agent or broker. An insurance broker can actually help you find a variety of quotes from different companies. You can mention your online quotes, and see if you can get a similar deal offline.
Before you choose an insurance policy, make sure you shop around. Additionally, it can help to ask about discounts and special programs. Find out whether you can pay less if you purchase more than one policy with a company, or if there are discounts for healthy living, good driving, or student specials for good grades. With a little planning, you can end up with an affordable insurance policy that protects you adequately.

Shift its not about whether I can afford it or not. I'm working 40 hours doing a very well paid internship. I'll be able to afford a PS3 and a 360 and many games for both along with wii by the end of the summer (Hell by the end of the month actually). I do however feel like spending that amount of money on games is not something I can bring myself to do. I spent most of my younger years playing downloaded computer games for free. I felt guilty paying $250 for a wii. I'm glad I did of course, but I only bought 2 games (besides wii sports). Then I chose to get gamecube games because they were cheaper. Seeing as I missed out on the entire lifespan of the PS2 (other than San Andreas which I played on my roomates PS2), I feel like buying a cheapy PS2 with cheap games is going to be far more fun than VC games and I won't feel as guilty about blowing money on gaming. It has to tell you something when the PS2 is selling far far better than the PS3.
I was out of gaming since the N64 era until the Wii and now I'm somewhat interested again. But honestly not very much could sell me on buying a PS3 over a 360, unless the price came down to something comparable. PS3 is losing many exclusives. It's a far better decision to invest a little more money and just buy a PC instead. Sorry shift, you gotta realize that the PS3 is a little behind at this point.
As for silver ps2s, best buy still has them listed online, just not available in stores. They go for less than $150 on ebay it seems like. But I'm thinking I might just wait till I get back home after the summer and borrow a friends who doesn't play his anymore. Feel free to call me cheap, I am just of the opinion that spending significant amounts of cash on gaming is not prudent.
