Stubbington covers the old parish of Crofton which dates from Saxon times, and parts of the old Holy Rood church date back to the 14th century. In the 17th century Stubbington was noted for its smuggling activities. Stubbington and Hill Head are now largely residential areas due to the development which has occurred over the last twenty years. The coast at Hill Head provides a locally-popular recreation area for activities such as dinghy-sailing, sea-angling and board-sailing. Part of the Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve lies to the west of the ward; the reserve is managed by the County Recreation Department and constitutes an important wetland habitat for birds and plants.

OFJ97 Field Journal from Marcia Segura - 3/18/97[Editor's Note: Marcia is a science coordinator on the Galileo Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer science team.]
Time certainly does fly!!!
Much has happened since November of 1995 and I want to share with you some of the events of 1996. It was an incredible year filled with anticipation, excitement, and discovery as well as some anxiety and pain.
All that software testing in 1995 paid off in 1996 with the return of the first orbit data. It was during that time, we discovered that the Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS - my favorite instrument) had experienced an anomaly (that's the word we use when something unexpected or unpredicted happens). Our instrument software STOPPED. It froze up much like your PC when you open one too many applications. Much of the first orbit Io and Jupiter NIMS data was lost. This was not an OOPS (should have known better/minor) anomaly but an OHMIGOD (this is critical/major/a lot of work) anomaly. Would this or could this happen again? Is the instrument gone? Was Galileo's capability to study surface composition lost? If the instrument wasn't lost, could we get a work- around or a fix ready before the next orbit (which was little over a month away)? Those were some of the questions that went thru my mind at the time. ANXIETY, WORRY, and STRESS!!!
Well, in true Galileo and NIMS style, after 3 intense weeks of analysis and creativity, an explanation and a plan emerged. The explanation: the instrument didn't take kindly to Jupiter's radiation environment. In fact, when NIMS got tired of the radiation build-up, the software would stop functioning. Armed with a plausible explanation and the knowledge that NIMS would be exposed to radiation on every orbit without fail, we needed to protect the science data. So the plan: the instrument software would be reloaded or restarted numerous times throughout the encounter period (7 days) to counteract the radiation effects on the software. And yes, we did use this plan for orbit 2. And orbit 3 and orbit 6. And every other orbit we'll do, too.
The first orbit gave me some anxiety but also gave the first NIMS view of Callisto, my favorite Jovian moon. I was really excited to finally see Callisto data even though the observation was distant and filled with booms (in the picture of the spacecraft, you can spot them easily. NIMS can see them as well). Within the NIMS team, I get teased terribly about my fondness for Callisto and the favorite comment about this observation was something only a mother could love. But... it revealed secrets about surface composition that we are still puzzling over and whetted our appetite for more.
[You can see some of the NIMS Callisto observations at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/galileo/callisto/021897.html
There has been no relaxing since.. An encounter comes and we monitor the instrument for signs of software halts. This information must be factored into the data playback plans so we use our precious return bits wisely. In between encounters, plans for future observations continue and data returns every day. As you can see, there is a lot going on behind the scenes.
On a more personal note, 1996 was so busy at work, that the guys and I didn't make the trip back east to Maine last summer. Adrian, my oldest son (birthday last week - now 20), decided not to make the trip because he was working. Matthew, who is 11, attended the day camp and played in the summer basketball league, decided he couldn't miss a field trip or a game. Needless to say, the choice not to make the trip became the only option.
But. in early September, I did manage to sneak away to Salt Lake City for 2 days plus a weekend to do some genealogy research (one of my interests away from work). It was then that I found out about my mother's diagnosis of terminal cancer. I returned to Los Angeles briefly and left again for the East Coast. My mother's condition/care required close monitoring so she gave up her apartment and her independence. My sister Nola and I spent time helping her sort through her belongings and packing. I didn't realize it but she saved EVERYTHING!!! Old movie ticket stubs, pens that didn't work, Christmas wrapping paper, partial decks of cards, mason jars with no lids, etc. We spent a lot of time sifting through old photographs which while nostalgic and sad, did provide an element of fun, laughter, enjoyment, and a happy memory.
The festive Christmas decorations and tree didn't appear in the Segura household until December 23rd and it was well into the night before the job was done. The good news is that I did complete all my shopping before Christmas Eve and I didn't have to use Fed-Ex overnight for package delivery. This was an improvement from 1995 to be sure!
Signing off for now. Hoping that 1997 brings you all your heart desires and more.

I discovered the primal way about 18 months ago. Having met success on a low carb diet in the past, being allergic to soy (eggs and tree nuts), I knew I could do this. And I do. Not 60%, not 80%, but 95% - 99% (I eat cheese on occasion, as well as have a nightly glass of red).
But I am not seeing the results. Worse, my doctor isn't seeing *any* results and today she suggested I join Weight Watchers. I didn't have any health issues prior to primal that I was aware of. About 6 months in, I had lost no weight, but was shrinking (doctor: "unless the scale moves, it's not real weight loss"). I agreed to have my cholesterol and blood sugar checked. Both were in the high end of normal and they have stayed there while my blood pressure keeps rising and my body keeps shrinking, but the scale doesn't really change.
My doctor is only numbers driven and really, seeing them does depress me. My husband and best friend continue their "healthy whole grains" diet and enjoy good health while I eat more protein, fats and vegetables than they do and watch my health numbers rise. I paid out-of-pocket and saw a primal doctor in my area, but all she wanted to do was put me on estrogen and sell me her supplements, so I didn't go back. And my insurance requires my PCP to authorize specialist visits so I had to go back today for a referral and a mental beating.
On the plus side - I have no pre-meal jitters, no blood sugar crashes. And I have been able to downsize my entire wardrobe by one to two sizes.
On the negative - my cholesterol is high, my blood pressure is high, my blood sugar is still at the high end of normal and in 18 months, I've lost maybe 20 pounds, which my doctor says is mostly water-weight and that a 10lb or so weight loss is nothing.
I'm 50, not a gym rat and have no desire to join a gym, especially not crossfit. I have an exercise bike and ride twice a day for 30 - 60 minutes, but apparetnly, even that isn't enough to make the numbers better. Not sure what else to do.

Kirk Franklin – Interlude (Hero) lyrics
Yo Fred... Tell em how you feel
There's a hole in my soul
That won't heal
And there's a rage and a pain
Even now I still feel
And even though I'm a man
Still I don't understand
But that's what happen when you don't have the Father
That's what happens when you don't have the Father

Lunch with Buffett Auction: 2011 Edition
|Email Print
Every year, Warren Buffett auctions off lunch at Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in midtown Manhattan. The winner gets to bring seven of his closest friends for some steaks and salads with the Oracle.
Last year, the winner decided to remain anonymous after forking over $2.63 million for lunch with Buffett. Despite the recession, which reduced the take in 2009 to a "mere" $1.68 million, down from $2.11 million, 2010's haul reversed the downward trend.
Here are past winners:
- 2003 – $250,100 – David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital hedge fund,
- 2004 – $202,100 – Jason Choo of Singapore (later increased his donation to an even $250k)
- 2005 – $351,100 – Opted to remain anonymous
- 2006 – $620,100 – Yongping Duan, a famous Chinese business figure who founded Subor Electronics Industry Corporation and BKK Electronics Group.
- 2007 – $650,100 – Two investors, Mohnish Pabrai, of Pabrai Investment Funds, and Guy Spier of Aquamarine Capital Management LLC. Pabrai will pay 2/3s, Spier the other third.
- 2008 – $2.11 million – Zhao Danyang, who runs the Pureheart China Growth Investment Fund in Hong Kong.
- 2009 – $1.68 million – Courtenay Wolfe, president and chief executive of Canadian hedge fund Salida Capital.
- 2010 – $2.63 million – Opted to remain anonymous
As always, you need to pre-qualify at www.LunchWithWarrenBuffett.com (auction starts on eBay on June 5th, so you have some time) and proceeds go to San Francisco charity GLIDE.{ 7 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

New Homescreen inspired by AndroidAndMe.com
MyColorscreen screen of the day 12/14/2011!
The customizability of Android can be a blessing and a curse. On one hand I don't have to look at something boring like pages full of just icons. But on the other hand, I don't think I'll ever be able to stick with something for more than a month or two before wanting to create something new. I therefore spend a night or two staying up til the wee hours of the morning planning new ideas, photoshopping icons, and finding ways to make my vision a reality.
|From AndroidAndMe.com's mobile site.
My latest creation originated one morning when I was reading the latest android news instead of trimming my scraggly beard or eating a healthy breakfast. I went to androidandme.com on my phone's browser and was greeted with a very well designed mobile web page. I liked it so much that I decided I had to try and see if I could create something similar for my phone. The following will not only explain the process I went through to create the homescreen, but some tips that you may find useful next time you want to create something unique.
Apps Used:
ADWLauncher EX – Launcher Replacement
Multipicture Live Wallpaper – Allows each screen of the homescreen to be a different image
Minimalistic Text – For clock, date, and other text
Desktop Visualizer – For shortcuts of different sizes to apps/folders with custom images
Tasker – For unread sms count and latest sms text, sender, and time
Application Folder – Folder popups, previously reviewed here
Phantom Music Control – Hidden music controls
Minimal Reader – Minimalist RSS Widget
Widgetsoid – Power control widget
Pro Tips:
My first step is to bust out the pen and paper to plan my attack. This is optional, but I find that if I get my ideas on paper first, the actual creation process is much quicker. I also tend to come up with "brilliant" ideas only later to forget them…if they're on paper I can always be reminded of my original idea and respark the creation process later. If you draw it out and decide you don't like it you can always scratch it out and start again, but if you're making the homescreen and sorting through ideas at the same time, it can sometimes lead to some headaches.
To further assist in preparation, I clear my homescreen and use empty Desktop Visualizer widgets to plan out placement of icons and widgets in accordance to my plans. It also helps me get an idea of what size grid I need to use (numbers of columns and rows in the homescreen settings, many 3rd party launchers allow you to change these). For reference I used 6 columns and 10 rows to make each cell smaller and close to square.
Then using Photoshop (or a free image editor like gimp, paint.net, or pixlr.com) I start making the backgrounds for each page. For those who are new to image editors, layers are going to be your friend. Layers allow you to modify single aspects at a time without affecting the rest of the image. I make the base later one of the images above with the Desktop Visualizer template. I then create a layer on top of that to create the background colors for that screen. I make the second layer temporarily transparent (opacity in photoshop) to allow me to see how things are lining up with the template.
Next: icons. Here you have a couple options. You can create/find a whole bunch of icons and use Desktop Visualizer to put them on the background, or you can put the icons on the background and use Desktop Visualizer with a clear image over the background icon. The first option is much better if this theme is something you'll keep for a while but might switch out apps and icons. For me, I change my homescreen setup often so I cheat and put the icons on the background itself. This saves a little time but the main advantage is that it uses less ram. A clear png is less than 1 KB compared to an icon which can be anywhere from 5 to a couple hundred KB. This saves me several MB of ram usage and if you have a phone with only 512 MB of ram you're going to want to save any ram you can.
If you chose to make individual icons then find out roughly what the dimensions are of the Desktop Visualizer sections on your template and create your icons to that size. If you're just going to stick them on the background continue using layers and opacity like you were when creating the background.
The AndroidAndMe.com Homescreen
Now that I've gotten that little lesson out of the way, I'll go ahead and show each page with a brief description of the included apps/widgets.
The next page is the Social page which combines all the ways of communicating with others into one handy page. Followed by Faves with all of my favorite apps.
For the Games and Tools pages I couldn't figure out anything to fill the white spaces at the top so I decided to make them resemble the comments section from Android and Me.
Let me know what you think!

Norfolk head coach Trent Yawney has only been gone from Syracuse for a few months, but apparently his memory has taken a longer break than that.
Yawney sat in the stands of the War Memorial on Thursday morning watching the practice of his former team, the Syracuse Crunch. The sounds and sights of the building seemed familiar; the wind and piles of snow gathering outside did not.
"Actually, I did (forget about the climate). You got enough snow here, or what?'' Yawney said.
As Yawney spoke, a long line of Admirals filed into the War Memorial through the stands on the opposite side. For many of them, there is nothing unfamiliar about their visit to Syracuse.
The Admirals team that will take on the Syracuse Crunch at 7:30 p.m. Friday is virtually identical to the version that skated here as the home squad in 2011-12. After that season, Crunch parent club Anaheim moved its prospects to Norfolk while former Admirals affiliate Tampa Bay relocated its farm team in Syracuse.
Seventeen players currently on the Norfolk roster previously wore a Crunch jersey.
"Obviously, it's a lot of good memories,'' said Norfolk winger Kyle Palmieri, a former Crunch standout. "It's awesome to be back. We're all looking forward to this game. It's been on our schedule for awhile.''
Palmieri is the one Admiral who Crunch fans know can heat up the War Memorial in a hurry. For much of his two seasons in Syracuse, he was as dangerous a finisher as the franchise has ever seen.
As a rookie in 2010-11, he ripped off 15 goals and five assists in his last 14 regular season games. Last season, he put up 33 goals and 25 assists in 51 games.
That momentum carried him to 18 games with the Ducks last year, and might have placed him in the NHL for good under non-lockout circumstances. Instead, he's possibly looking at another full year in the minors, a season that by his own admission hasn't been up to his standards.
Palmieri has posted nine goals and 10 assists in 27 games, numbers that are pedestrian for him. He has one goal in his last seven games.
"It's definitely had its share of ups and downs,'' he said of his season. "With the lockout, it's a tougher league. At the same point, I haven't reached a point when I find confidence about my game for a stretch.
"You can't really rest on your laurels or anything. Coming into this year, maybe a little complacency crept into my game. You expect to be successful. Sometimes the bounces don't go your way. I've definitely been working hard.''
Yawney agreed with that scouting report.
"He's still a young player, developing,'' he said. "He hasn't scored maybe as much as he'd like. But we see other parts of his game rounding into form. He's competed hard, which is the main thing.''
Palmieri hopes a return to what was once his home ice sparks his play toward some old results.
"As the opposing team it's a little different. It's still exciting to be back,'' he said. "I think last year, I was able to string together eight, nine, 10 games out there where I felt great on the ice. So far I haven't been able to do that. It's usually been two, three, four games. Definitely, frustration sets in when you have that success early in your career and then have a year like this.''

The systematic review and meta-analysis of aspirin resistance by Snoep et al1 found that patients with laboratory resistance to aspirin also have clinical resistance to aspirin as evidenced by higher risks of recurrent cardiovascular events. A very likely explanation of this association is that laboratory resistance and clinical resistance have the same cause—noncompliance.2

Only bad experience with a microwave, as a kid I put a metal spoon in the microwave with some oatmeal....i screamed as the microwave caught on fire....:-/ Sorry mom!!
"Both of these things are false. Microwaves actually preserve more nutrients, due to the short cooking time and minimal use of water.
Now, it's true that I usually only use my microwave for reheating, but that's because I prefer the texture of traditionally cooked food even though I know I'm losing more nutrients that way."
Would LOVE to see your source for that info... I completely disagree with you. It's all good, I'm sure neither of us is 100% sure ; )

It seems as though no one checked the reference link in the post by LX at the very top of the page. I refer to it again.

e.g.---don't use microwaves
But, then again, There are many paths to the top of the mountain.

I checked LX's link. It showed the plant fed microwaved water died. Then to debunk this, they go on to explain that it was probably due to other factors like "The plants might have been subjected to differing environmental factors (e.g light, heat) due to their placement, or affected differently by external factors (e.g, insects, pets)" They were on the same damn ledge on the window sill, indoors lol.
Then the pictures they take of their own 'experiment' with plants show no progression at all, just one shot... I guess we should just trust that they did the experiment? I'll trust the 10 year old's science fair project over these guys any day.
Anyways, you can prove anything you want on the internet. Here's a random link. http://www.relfe.com/microwave.html
That's all for my input on this conversation. There is no point to continue, I could never be convinced to use a microwave and it's draining my energy for real.
The link that LX posted was to Snopes. If you're not familiar with it, it's a site that debunks popular urban legends. If you'll notice, Snopes says that this one is false.
Is being distrustful and suspicious of anything "sciency" an important part of the PB? I might have missed that chapter.
Not just leftovers. Sometimes I actually cook with a microwave.
FWIW I've stopped microwaving food in plastic containers, but as far as I'm aware all the radation does is heat the water within the food.
No more or less radiation than we get day-to-day, from all kinds of things.
Mind you, I don't use it *every* day. But it is simpler and more efficient to nuke something for a few minutes than heat up a whole oven for little old me...
There's a lot of confusion about what exactly a microwave does. I was afraid of microwaves, until I studied electrodynamics as part of my physics degree- and understand exactly what it is much better.
A microwave does produce electromagnetic radiation but it is of a type that is totally harmless to people, or food. Radiation needs to be of a high enough frequency to ionize (damage) organic molecules. Sunlight- for example is ionizing radiation and can theoretically alter DNA and contribute to cancer, but microwaves cannot. In fact, microwaves are much lower energy than the infrared light a normal oven uses to heat.
What a microwave does is cause water molecules to spin and vibrate along with the oscillating electromagnetic field they generate. This movement is exactly what heat is, and the same type of movement occurs in water regardless of how it's heated.
If anything, microwaves are probably the safest and most energy efficient way to cook. Although, I only use it for defrosting frozen items because microwaved food has a terrible texture.

Robert Burns Cigarillos Countertop Display & Match Dispenser
Nice countertop display piece reads "Take your change in Robt. Burns Cigarillos." A box of cigarillos fit just behind the tin face plate. The glass dish, supported on a metal stand, probably held matches that the customer helped himself to when he purchased cigarillos. We believe this advertising piece dates to the 1950's. The stand is 6" wide x 5.5" high x 11.5" deep. The glass dish is 5.75" in diameter. The suction cups are somewhat aged and brittle. There is a small amount of paint loss on the tin plate.

Hi! I have a 2 year old daughter who has suffered with severe eczema since she was 1 year old. We have found some amazing doctors (combination of M.D.'s and N.D's) in Washington State. We have put her on a strict elimination diet, probiotics, EFA's, and topically we use a mild steroid cream and a vitamin B12 cream. Nothing has helped much except for the steroid cream and eliminating dairy. Two of her doctors recently diagnosed her with a systemic yeast infection, which has led to multiple food allergies (literally she is allergic/sensitive to everything she eats) and now she is developing environmental allergies. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has a child with the same diagnosis? What worked for you? She has been prescribed Diflucan(1 dose) and I am nervous to give it to her. I am always scared that she will have an adverse reaction when taking prescription medication. Has anyone else used Diflucan for their children? Thanks!
Systemic Yeast Infection
I would be happy to help in anyway that I can. It sounds like you have several yeast related symptoms. My son has been treated for a systemic yeast infection. The results are amazing. He is doing so much better now!! He no longer has skin issues and most of his food allergies are gone. DS was treated with Diflucan and Nystatin for six months and now takes Threelac daily. I spent several months researching Candida in depth, so hopefully I can answer your questions. Just let me know what kind of information you are looking for. :-)
It is just so good to hear someone that knows that this is a really issue. I think I have always had issues with this. When I was a kid, my doctor would put the whole family on antibiotics when one of us was sick. So, if my brother was sick, he would put me on antibiotics 'just in case'. When I was a teenager, I was on tetracycline for a long time for skin issues. I also got mono and was on steriods. Around this time, I had terrible stomach problems. Thinking back, I stopped eating carbs/sugar for a few years in my early 20's and that was the healthiest I have ever been!! I looked and felt great! About 3 or 4 years ago, I went to the Dominican and I have never been the same since. They think I had ecoli and maybe a parasite, tons of antibiotics. (this is when I started having thyroid issues, also) My digestive issues have not gone away since, but they are 'not so bad' sometimes. So, this is what I am thinking lately, I had a MC last fall, got pregnant right away and had another one in Feb. at 3 months. This caused a hormone imbalance (yeast worse), my skin issues started b/c of the hormone imbalance so I went to a Dermatologist and he put me on antibiotics (yeast worse).
I talked to my naturopath about Diflucan and he doesn't see a problem with putting me on it, but said it is hard on the liver? Why did your son take both that and Nystatin? Sorry this is long, I just didn't know where to start. I am frustrated beyond belief and feel like I have spent the entire 2nd half of my twenties feeling bad and going to Dr's and no one has any answers for me. I can't imagine it being my child and I am sorry for everything you have had to go through. I feel like this is an issue for so many people, but no one seams to know anything about it. If there are like 5 things that are crucial to beating this, what would they be? Thanks so much for all of you help!!

Your medical history makes you a perfect candidate for a systemic yeast infection. When I was young, I had lyme disease and was treated with IV antibiotics and oral antbiotics for over a year. I had hair loss, horrible intestinal problems, yeast infections, and insomnia. Now that I am more educated, I know it was related to yeast. Like you, I also found improved health when I went on a low carb diet. I really think you can feel confident in the diagnosis that you have a systemic yeast infection.
I really believe that the best treatment for systemic yeast is a long term treatment on Diflucan. I've read everything I can get my hands on about treating yeast. My understanding is that long term treatment is necessary because medications do not kill yeast spores. Therefore, you must treat long enough to eliminate spores as they continually develop. Even when treatement is complete, you will always be susceptible to yeast. For example, if my son needs to go on antibiotics, he has to have Diflucan at the same time. Probiotics will help as well. You really can't take too many probiotics. They simply flush out of your system if they aren't needed.
I researched Diflucan a lot as well. It can harm the liver like all meds, but this is extremely rare. My son took it for six months when he was under 2. He did fine. However, Diflucan is not safe for pregnant women. So, I would not go on it while you are TTC. My son took both Diflucan and Nystatin because they work differently and his infection was so bad that he needed both. Diflucan enters the blood stream. It can clear the Candida from tissue, skin, etc. Nystatin does not enter the blood stream. It passes through the digestive system and kills the yeast as it passes through. The Nystatin cleared up my son's digestive issues and the Diflucan cleared up his skin and behavioral issues.
The most important steps to beating Candida in my opinion are:
1. Extended treatment on RX antifungal medications
2. A low sugar, low starch diet
3. Probiotics and enzymes to re-establish good flora in the gut and eliminate food sensitivities
4. Cod liver oil and zinc supplements to heal the gut. (this actually makes a big difference in speeding recovery)
5. A healthy diet- I put DS on a mostly organic diet. Keeping his diet free of toxins and additives helped his body heal.
I am sincerely sorry that you have suffered two miscarriages. I do want to make sure that you understand that it is not safe to start a antifungal treatment while pregnant. The die off stage can cause side effects and the dying yeast will release toxins that need to be flushed out of your system. It is also possible to pass on yeast issues during birth and while breast feeding. However, because you are an adult, I believe your treatment time will be less and your recovery faster. Once your immune system is relieved from fighting the yeast, I am certain that your overall health will improve greatly.
I hope this helps, Please keep me posted.
I didn't read the entire thread, but to answer your question about over doing it on probiotics, I recently read (possibly on Dr. Mercola's site?) that people should take a min. of 50 billion CFUs/day and to up it during times of illness. My DS was prescribed 100 billion/day. So, not sure if you can overdo it, but the body actually needs quite a bit. There's actually 3 pounds worth of bacteria lining the small intestine--articles.mercola.com/sites/articles...
MtTimpView- Thank you so much!!! You have no idea how much it helps to be able to talk to someone about this! My naturopathic Dr. just sent me an e-mail saying for systematic yeast he would like to do at least a month of diflucan. What do you think? He also said I should get tested, but he has no problem treating without testing. What testing would they even do? He has already been telling me I have yeast issues for the last few months.
What are enzymes? I have been taking probiotics.
I have already been taking zinc and actually feel like I should be taking more oil, so I will pick up some cod liver oil.
I have also been trying to eat more natural, but have not been really sticking to a yeast diet. I really want to have a go at it. I just feel like with all of the crap we eat, I am curious how good I would feel just eating things that actually come from nature.
I just started my period, so I am not pregnant. DH and I will not be in the same state when I O this month, so we wont be trying this month. How long should we wait? How do you know when you are 'better'?
Thank you again for all of your help!
Brett'sMom- Thanks, that is good info. I just didn't know if I could take to much. The naruopath told me to take it before every meal.

When I woke up this morning, I had a really itchy rash between some of my fingures. The one that really itched has tiny raised bumps. My feet were also itchy....that would be from yeast, right?

Enzymes are active proteins found in nature that break down our food and help our bodies with other processes. Taking enzymes replenishes enzymes and aids in digestion. I used to give DS enzymes with every meal. They actually eliminated several of his food allergies. Here's a link to more info and the ones that we use.
The length of treatment varies for each person. My son started on six weeks of Diflucan. His symptoms had improved but they were not gone. So, we did six more weeks. I went back again, we evaluated his progress and started more treatment. Finally, we stopped treatment when his health was restored. We also alternated between Diflucan and Nystatin to see which one worked best at the time.
The test for Candida is a blood test and a stool sample test, but neither are considered highly accurate. My doctor said the best test is to go on the meds and see if they help. The meds are very safe and so I had no problem skipping the test. I wanted to start treatment right away instead of waiting two weeks for blood tests to come back.
Diflucan stays in the system for a week to two weeks. So, once you finish treatment, you'll want to give yourself a couple of weeks before TTC again.
The rash on your fingers could be yeast related. I would try soaking the area with Hydrogen Peroxide. It does a great job of killing yeast.
Don't worry too much about the diet. It definately helps, but you do not need to make it extreme. Just cut back on sugars a little to help things along.
It sounds like your doctor is right on target and with treatment, you should be feeling better soon!
So, the decision is made. I talked to DH and we are going to stop trying for now. I think this will be sooo good for me both physically and emotionally. I have been so caught up in wanting a baby yesterday, that I have not been thinking about what will ultimately be the best for the baby. I have not wanted to treat anything wrong with myself, because we were TTC. I am going to take full advantage of the next few months and get my body back to prime condition. We are going to start a workout, eat natural, and get everything back in order. I am going to start on Diflucan next week. I have also been so caught up in the emotional roller coaster of TTC. My best friend and I got pregnant a week apart, I lost the baby at 3 months and she has a one month old. I have some other friends that are pregnant and some that are TTC, and it seams to have turned into some kind of race. I never wanted that. I wanted to start a family with my husband, not have a 'my ovaries are better than yours' contest. That just seam so stupid, but easy to get caught up in. I think this break will help me to put everything in perspective again. I feel like the ultimate love for our children will be taking care of their mom. I am actually really excited about it. I will KUP on the issue and will probably have a lot of questions along the way. Thanks again for all of your help!!

I think you have made the right decision for your family. You need to be healthy so you can have a healthy pregnany and have the energy you need to keep up with your LO in the future. I understand the roller coaster of TTC. The stress and emotions are not good and sometimes a break is the best medicine.
I will welcome any questions you have along the way. When DS started treatment, I was desperate to talk to anyone that could explain what way happening. That's why I posted our story on this website. Please keep me posted!

The state will lose jobs because of their shotgun gun control legislation.
After weeks of bizarre testimony and protests, where lawmakers and college officials encouraged women to defend themselves with ballpoint pens and vomit, Colorado Democrats pushed through their new gun control laws last week Democratic Governor John Hickenlooper signed three new gun bills into law. But, before the gun control bills were ever passed the state was looking at its first casualty. Magpul Industries, a top of the line manufacturer of gun magazines and parts, notified the media that they would relocate if the new bills were ever passed into law. They weren't kidding.
Magpul Industries Corporation is a designer and manufacturer of firearms parts and accessories. The company is based in Erie, Colorado outside of Boulder. The Magpul polymer magazine line is extremely popular among sportsmen and all branches of our armed services, including some of the highest levels of our Special Operations community.
In February, Magpul announced the Democratic legislation that banned high capacity magazines would force them to leave the state taking along several hundred jobs with them. Magpul warned they would leave the state "almost immediately" if the legislation passed. Duane Liptak, Director of Product Management and Marketing, said the company has received official invitations from elected officials and/or the economic development departments in over two dozen states since they announced their plans to leave Colorado. Liptak says, "We've talked to some states, visited some, and we've got a lot more to get to. Some of the initial round of states that we're looking at are Wyoming, Nebraska, Texas, Utah, Montana, Idaho and Arizona but there are others in consideration." Several more conservative states are hoping to lure the manufacturer to more friendly pastures.
Moving physical equipment and setting up products to run in new locations is an expensive venture. Lost opportunities due to disruption of production for the move could also be significant. Liptak says the company was getting ready to sign a lease on a new 125,000 square foot building for the headquarters in Colorado before Democrats introduced their legislation. So, the company held off on those plans. Magpul will now move forward with a new facility, just not in Colorado.
The move is already underway. Magpul chief operating officer Doug Smith told The Denver Post last week that the company will manufacture their first magazine outside the state of Colorado within thirty days. The company is moving some physical assets this month, but there are arrangements that need to be nailed down before Magpul can start moving major pieces of the operation.
And, it's not just Magpul. Several parts dealers are also following Magpul's lead. The company has received commitments from some of their largest suppliers that they will be leaving Colorado, as well. And, Magpul's suppliers are even working with the company to help select new manufacturing locations.
Magpul has been swamped with orders since the reelection of Barack Obama and then the reaction to the Newtown massacre. The company has been producing at an extremely high volume every month and high production volumes are expected fairly far into the future. The company also says it is hard to measure how much all of the recent social media attention since they announced their move will translate into new customers. They are hoping for the best.
It's still not clear if the new gun control laws in Colorado will save any lives. That's still up for debate. What is clear is that the state will lose jobs because of their shotgun gun control legislation. Magpul Industries is taking hundreds of good paying jobs with them.

Here is my question. Has any new federal laws banning guns or restricting guns been passed under George W. Bush? I can't think of any. And with the AWB looking like it won't be renewed, hasn't this been a pretty good presidental term for gun owners?

Erin go brrr
The frigid weather didn't chill the spirits of the crowd along State Street watching the 36th annual Erie St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday.
The parade, sponsored by St. Patrick parish and the Knights and Ladies of St. Patrick, started at 11th and State streets and ended at St. Patrick Catholic Church, 130 E. Fourth St. Most of the crowd was gathered at Fourth and State streets to catch the variety of floats, dancers, and marchers.

Joey Bostic usually works in a fire station, but recently he had a moment of popularity on the television show "Live with Regis and Kelly."
According to Bostic's sister, Steffie Gehring, their mother, Teresa Roberts Bostic, was raised in Niles but left in 1971. Bostic was born in Columbus and later moved to Florida. Teresa passed away in 2006, but her brother, John "Trini" Roberts was lucky enough to see his nephew on the show, which featured firefighters and paramedics from around the country in a contest for the best firehouse recipes.
Roberts said he enjoyed watching his nephew on national television.
Bostic's formula for Citrus Skirt Steak helped him learn what it's like to be on the other side of the television set. During the ongoing contest, viewers voted for the best dish. Bostic finished in sixth place.
"I like steak very much.The Citrus Skirt Steak with Chimichurri is my favorite," Bostic said.
Bostic said he created the recipe and sent it to the show. The recipe, which Bostic said he cooks at the firestation, impressed the producers and he was invited to cook the dish on the air.
"I eat steaks before work, at work and after," he said.
Bostic said he watches "Live with Regis and Kelly" regularly and would like to return with more tasty recipes. It meant a lot to him to have is father, his wife and his son Jacob view him on television, Bostic said. He said he wasn't nervous cooking live on national television because the show's producers provided a relaxing atmosphere.

GPL is a potentially serious problem, since the heart of the current E-on-Java implementation is covered by MPL, and the two are link incompatible (or something). However, this should not prevent us from building and running your new edoc as a separate program, which is how I ran the old edoc, in order to avoid SCSL contamination. >And the other thing to do might be to just write the whole thing in E. > >That might be an interesting exercise, and perhaps the first step >towards getting E more self-hosted. This would be a substantial effort, but if you're willing to, the result would be much better for us. In particular, this would enable us to use the same code base for offline and online help. Because a javadoc-like program is such a big job, perhaps you should at least do the first prototype using Sinjdoc? Once we have something working, we can reevaluate from there.

Recently one evening I stopped at the club to have a Veterans Day drink. This 69-year-old Army veteran who retired after 52 years in the work force had to go outside in the cold rain and wind to smoke a cigarette.
Somehow this just rubs me the wrong way. I see it as too many liberal, draft-dodging yuppies in positions of influence in this country.

The updated software enables users to explore the moon in high detail, including the Apollo 11 landing site.
Google Inc. and NASA Ames Research Center consulted USGS scientists, cartographers, technicians and programmers from the Astrogeology Science Center - experts with more than four decades of experience assembling planetary images - in preparing the new release.
"Moon in Google Earth" provides easy access to lunar data for researchers and enthusiasts alike.
"USGS scientists not only selected the site on the moon for the Apollo 11 Commander's 'one giant leap for mankind' in July 1969, but also provided critical datasets used in "Moon in Google Earth" released today for earthbound explorers," observed Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. "The events may be forty years apart, but today USGS is on the cutting edge of science on more fronts than ever."
Astrogeology Science Center Chief Scientist Jeff Johnson is proud of his team's contribution. "The USGS Astrogeology program excelled at creating accurate maps of the lunar surface during the Apollo era," said Johnson. "As modern imaging and computing technologies developed, so did our expertise in creating high-quality lunar products using data from multiple spacecraft missions.
We are pleased that our work has been of such great value."
"The techniques and technologies used by the Astrogeology Science Center have been evolving since the 1960s, starting with the Apollo missions, and all played a role in the creation of the data sets used in Google Earth," said Trent Hare, a geographic information systems expert with the USGS Astrogeology Science Center.
"Many USGS personnel lent their expertise, and we hope to continue this relationship as a wealth of additional data is gathered by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission and other international missions," Hare said.
Google Earth 5.0 provides a unique "globe-like" interface that allows users to explore the moon. This version provides not only a perspective of the moon's surface but also the location of named features and detailed information for the Apollo landing sites.
USGS Geodesist Brent Archinal described how several of the major datasets shown in "Moon in Google Earth" originated with the USGS: "The basic 'map of the moon' that Google uses is the USGS Clementine global base map of the moon, version 2. In addition, the place names, the Lunar Orbiter map of the moon, the Lunar Orbiter images, and the Apollo 15 landing site topography are all publicly available products created here in Flagstaff."
One of the core missions of the USGS Astrogeology Science Center is to help distribute NASA's planetary data and USGS map products using collaborative, modern technology.
"Moon in Google Earth is a tremendous example of how this can be done," said Johnson. Hare added, "We hope the public will benefit from the years of USGS work that help make the moon maps possible. We know students of all ages will enjoy virtually traveling to the moon and hope to inspire the next generation of space explorers."
The mission of the USGS Astrogeology Science Center is to serve the nation, the international planetary science community, and the general public's pursuit of new knowledge of our solar system. The team's vision is to be a national resource for the integration of planetary geosciences, cartography and remote sensing. As explorers and surveyors, with a unique heritage of proven expertise and international leadership, USGS astrogeologists enable the ongoing successful investigation of the solar system for humankind.

Nine-year-old Dilshi loves the library at Hedunuwewa Primary School. Ever since Room to Read launched our School Library program there three years ago, she has been a regular, having read more than 240 of its 2,600 books.
At home, the books Dilshi read allowed her to explore new ideas and places, which made her think: with school so far away, there were others in her community that could not experience such joy.
This realization, coupled with her zealous love of reading, inspired Dilshi to create her own small library at home, and she immediately got started building her inventory.
Armed with a detailed checkout log and classification system, Dilshi runs her home library with the utmost efficiency. "I checked out 11 books to my friends and family during the school vacation last December," she says, confirming the number with a glance at her register.
"Dilshi is my good friend," says Shachini, another fifth-grader from the school. "I went to see her home library and thought it was very beautiful."
As word of Dilshi's home library spread, she gained more and more patrons from the surrounding area—a fact, says her librarian, that is particularly important given the district's remote, rural setting.
"Before Room to Read and Dilshi's library," says the librarian, "we had to take the primary school students to another school if we wanted them to see a library full of books."
Our team in Sri Lanka, upon seeing the effects of Dilshi's project, awarded her with a special literacy certificate recognizing the quality of her home library.
"I'm most impressed with the records she keeps," says the principal of her school. It's clear that the home library project is helping Dilshi develop more than just her literacy skills.

Affluent Lifestyle Guide
Don't get us wrong, we're all for family vacations, but sometimes there's something to be said about spending a little good old fashioned adult time on a tropical island somewhere. One of our favorite destinations for a quick grown-up retreat are the beautiful islands of Hawaii. If you're traveling in child-free mode, you'll definitely want to look into hotels with adults-only pools. Let's face it, you know that's where you'll post up for most of the trip. Here are five of Hawaii's best resorts with pools designated for the 18 and over crowds:
In 2012 tech billionaire Larry Ellison bought Lanai, an 88,000-acre, 140-square-mile island in Hawaii. And as such became the owner of two Four Seasons properties. After years of improvements and a complete seven-month shut down, the Four Seasons Resort Lanai has re-opened and is a far cry from its previously-outdated self.
If you only have a few days to spend on the Big Island of Hawaii, the Kohala Coast is most likely where you'd want to be. Just north of Kona International Airport on the coastal Queen Kaahumanu Highway, it is home to long stretches of pristine white sand beaches, luscious green landscapes and ash-black lava rock caves. From here, you can even see Maui rising at the end of the horizon.
La Jolla's newest restaurant will definitely have you thinking about a trip to Hawaii. Owned and operated by San Diego- and Maui-based T S Restaurants, Duke's La Jolla pays homage to Hawaiian native Duke Kahanamoku, water polo medalist, six-time Olympic swimming and the father of modern day surfing. Officially opened yesterday, the 13,000-square-foot restaurant features two dining areas with both floors including outdoor seating.
You'd be hard-pressed to find any travel-loving person who doesn't want to visit to New Zealand. It may be a bit harder, however, to find couples who are able to jet set for 44 days straight and blow $83,000 to do so. Clearly, Frontiers Travel is after an exclusive crowd with their Ultimate New Zealand Luxury Adventure + Hawaii trip.
Cruise ship dining is about to get a whole lot finer (and cruise chefs more epically handsome). As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, Princess Cruises is preparing to disembark on a new culinary voyage in an exclusive partnership with superstar Chef Curtis Stone. The Michelin-star chef and author of six bestselling cookbooks will serve up elevated new menus aboard Princess voyages starting this fall, and then will expand his menus to the entire Princess fleet by the end of the year.
Today marks the middle of summer, which means our days of lounging poolside are numbered. And if you're like us, you're not quite ready to give up your bronzed glow just yet. Since a hotel pool can be the difference between a good vacation and a great one, we searched out the best properties across the US that offer more than just a place to cool off.
A new development called Kohanaiki is springing up on the Big Island of Hawaii. Situated in an area that was once home to the great Hawaiian king Kamehameha, its shores are steeped in history; sacred artifacts, grounds and carvings are everywhere. Built carefully on 450 acres around these, this new resort community is quickly becoming an elite hotspot, with a slew of celebrity names already looking to snatch up properties.
We love hotels (obviously). But at the same time, it's really hard for us to pass up villa living when visiting island destinations. For one, renting a private estate means more seclusion and less noisy neighbors disrupting an otherwise peaceful vacation. And, they are unique. You get to stay in a place that was stylishly-designed and unlike any other property around.
We always think that we're happy with our current home until we see something that makes us want to immediately pack up and move. Like this $33 million, 10,641-square-foot Hawaiian dream house on the Big Island. Found at the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, the property just may be the priciest to have ever been listed in Hawaii—at least that's what broker Luxury Big Island by Harold Clark thinks. While it's not confirmed, we wouldn't dispute their claim.
Last week, Ward Village released 12 penthouses in their Anaha tower in Honolulu, Hawaii, and if these photos are anything to go by, you just might want to start packing now. The exclusive residences are the last to be released in the first two towers, offer fantastic views, and a wide array of floor plans. Ranging from just under $2 million for a 1,351-square-foot to $14 million, the homes feature 10-foot ceilings, hardwood and stone floors, and Miele kitchen appliances—not to mention all of the building amenities.
It's hard to believe that the North Shore of Oahu and that Waikiki Beach are on the same island. Where crowds jam Waikiki Beach, the North Shore is a placid oasis of farms, mountains and beaches every bit as good—or better, for surfing at least—than those in the crowded Honolulu area.
Think of Hawai'i and immediately you envision a wide, sun-kissed expanse of sparkling sand, gentle waves for surf riding and a dramatic ocean view. Ka'anapali Beach Resort has all of this, in fact it has consistently been named among the best beaches in the world by TripAdvisor and was named Best Beach in America by Dr. Beach in 2003.
Since it opened in 1927 The Royal Hawaiian's pink façade has become an iconic landmark on Waikiki Beach. Resting on ten acres of the best beachfront in Waikiki, this historic resort has been a home-away-from-home to many celebrities and dignitaries.
Situated in Kaua'i's Halele'a region, The St. Regis Princeville Resort is a picturesque island getaway in an area considered the Hawaiian Islands' most beautiful destination. When the sun dips low and the glistening blue waves lap gently against the white sand, you'll quickly realize how lovely this location really is.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen praised Croatia's commitment to security during his visit to the country on 6 July.
Croatia has been a NATO member since 1 April 2009 and partakes in NATO's missions in Kosovo and Afghanistan, and contributes in building cooperation in the Adriatic region and especially with the countries of the Western Balkans.
Rasmussen praised Croatia's role in the Alliance, emphasising that the country bring "fresh energy, and fresh ideas". He underlined that Croatia leads the Military Police School in Kabul, and in cooperation with Slovenia assists the Adriatic Charter countries, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia, in their aspiration to join NATO.
"Together, under Croatia's leadership, those countries are building stability in Afghanistan – and cooperation between themselves. They are building security in the heart of Asia but also in the heart of Europe," Rasmussen said.
NATO Secretary General met with Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanović, and emphasised Alliance's commitment to support security and stability in the region, as well NATO's policy of open door for new members from the Balkans.
"NATO is committed to the future of the whole region in the Euro-Atlantic family. And we are determined to help you along that path," Rasmussen said. He added that a path towards NATO membership is not easy and that "it demands real commitment". "It [NATO membership] demands real progress in reforms, and in reconciliation. But as Croatia's example shows, it can be done. And it is worth the effort," NATO Secretary General said.
NATO clearly expressed, at its Chicago Summit, the Alliance's commitment to the Euro-Atlantic integration of countries which aspire to join NATO, and encouraged them to continue to implement the necessary reforms.

Cruise boat moved to MemphremagogDecember 05,2012NEWPORT A Lake Champlain cruise boat is getting a new home on another Vermont lake.
The boat Northern Star was taken out of the water Monday in Burlington and moved by truck to Newport on Tuesday where it is waiting to move into its new home, Lake Memphremagog.
Owner and Capt. Chris Johansen formerly captained the Newport Princess, a small tour boat on Lake Memphremagog.
The Caledonian Record reported that Johansen worked for other tour lines on Lake Champlain before deciding to bring a large charter cruise boat to Newport.
