Castleton considers open container ordinance with teethBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | September 25,2013CASTLETON Walking in public with an open container of alcohol is about to get a lot more expensive once a proposed ordinance is put in place.
The Select Board overwhelmingly supported an open-container ordinance at its meeting Monday night. It will be brought back to the board at its next meeting for ratification, after which it will be advertised before it goes into effect probably in November.
Among the points debated Monday night was the severity of the fines. The board settled on $100 for a first offense, $200 for a second offense and $1,000 for a third offense.
The board and the residents in attendance wanted to ensure the ordinance would serve as a deterrent.
Selectman Wenger Rehlen expressed concern about the dollar amount.
One thousand dollars is a lot of cash, Rehlen said, to which several people pointed out that was exactly the point.
I say make it hurt, Selectwoman Cristine Smith said.
After some discussion, Rehlen floated the idea of making the fine top out at $500. But the room was in no mood for it and demanded the higher fine to serve as a deterrent.
Several questions about the ordinance were answered.
The open-container ordinance would apply to cans and bottles as well as plastic cups and other containers with alcoholic beverages. It would be in effect throughout the entire town of Castleton, not just the village.
It would only apply to public areas and have no effect on private property. Also, businesses that offer sidewalk dining or have an outdoor area would be OK because they would have a permit for that activity.
There would also be a provision to allow people to get a permit for parties or one-time activities.
It would not apply to the ice during the winter on Lake Bomoseen because that is controlled by the state, not the town.
Police Chief Bruce Sherwin said he supported the measure.
Its not that we want to go out and write these tickets, Sherwin said. But it should be an educational process.
Town Manager Charles Jacien said the ordinance has been in the works for three or four years since the town passed a noise ordinance.
We are one of the few municipalities in the county that does not have an open-container ordinance, Jacien said.
When asked if the ordinance was in response to action by Castleton State College students, the town manager said only, Its another tool at (law enforcements) disposal for curbing bad behavior.

Breaking News: Senate Rejects UN Disability Treaty!
One down, three to go. This afternoon the U.S. Senate rejected a proposed U.N. treaty on disabilities. All but a handful of Republicans joined in killing the treaty.
Senator James Inhofe, R-Okla., the leader of the opposition, said the treaty would create an "unelected bureaucratic body [which] would pass recommendations that would be forced upon the United States if we were a signatory."
Inhofe elaborated: "I do not support the cumbersome regulations and potentially over-zealous international organizations with anti-American biases that infringe on American society."
Bravo! The Senator echoes a key point we have been making in our book, "Here Come The Black Helicopters: UN Global Governance and the Loss of Freedom."
While the U.N. treaty merely encodes in international law, provisions that are already binding on the U.S. in the Americans with Disabilities Act, any subsequent changes our Congress wanted to make would be forbidden since jurisdiction would have been transferred to the U.N. And, any further regulations the U.N. chose to impose would be binding on us without consulting our Congress.
Supporters of the treaty said that it was necessary to protect Americans with disabilities when they travel abroad. This goal is worthy and can best be achieved through bi-lateral treaties with other nations that do not bind the United States hand and foot.
All Senate Republicans voted no except for Senators Ayotte, N.H.; Brown, Mass.; Lugar, Ind.; Barrasso, Wyo.; Collins, Maine; Murkowsky, Alaska; and McCain, Ariz.
This vote is crucial! Coming behind it will be ratification votes on the Law of the Sea treaty, the Small Arms treaty and the Internet Regulation treaty. We must kill these encroachments on our sovereignty too.
The Law of the Sea treaty transfers legal ownership and sovereignty over the world's oceans and seas to the U.N. and obliges signatories to get U.N. permission for offshore drilling and to share their royalties and technology with third world countries. It also could be used as a backdoor way to enforce limits on carbon emissions.
The Small Arms treaty creates an international body to police exports of small arms from companies and individuals around the world and requires signatory countries to inventory the small arms within its borders and to adopt whatever measures are needed to prevent their export – U.N. gun control.
The Internet Regulation treaty is currently under negotiation in Dubai and is due to be signed on Dec.14. It will impose a charge for sending steaming video to anyone outside of your own nation. You will have to pay it and can collect reimbursement from the recipient. It is designed to make it too expensive for Russians and Chinese and others in autocratic countries to access steaming video.
We have got to defeat all these treaties. And thank you for your support. It was crucial in enabling us to beat this treaty!

First time homebrewer, I've read a bunch of recipes that call for BB and some that don't. What are your thoughts?
Conversation...damn auto complete huh?
I used to do 18%, last batch was 12% but I am thinking the next batch will be only 6% with GSO/MCT ass carrier it should hold just fine.
Never tried it without. It may hold.
Give it a shot.... just don't vial it up right away.
If it crashes in the media bottle just rebrew with BB.
Let us know how it goes.
Conversion** Damn autocorrect and I can't figure out how to edit the post.
I just ordered my powder so it'll probably be a couple weeks, just trying to get everything in order. The Basskiller Online recipes do not include BB and apparently hold at 250mg/ml.
I am planning on using Grape Seed Oil or Cottonseed Oil, I've read the GSO is a little thinner.
I am currently using some gear brewed in MCT and putting 2cc's in each delt every week gave me some problems. The MCT is nice and thin but takes longer for your body to break down so you'll have to rotate sites more frequently. My delts got very hard with inflammation, quite painful, mildly itchy, and warm after starting the cycle pip free. From what I've read, it seems MCT is used in Synthol because the body has a hard time breaking down the oil, kinda concerning if you are not interested in site enhancement. Since I've started including VG injections I have been completely fine. Sure flows nicely though. :winkfinger:
I agree, ventros are the spot.
You should be fine with GSO. I recommend USP GSO you can get from a place like http://www.medical-and-lab-supplies....eseed-oil.html
Let us know how your conversion turns out.
Will do. That's the site I'm shopping on. Getting the powder from a sponsor here so we'll see how that turns out. Thanks for the info.

Enjoy Every Sandwich is the only one.
That's respect.
It certainly isn't required, but it helps thin my gear to flow thru a 25ga pin nicely. That and 50/50 GSO/EO . ALSO imo helps gear dissipate quicker, and.allows for higher concentrates without crashing.
What filters do you use with EO? Does the EO every melt the filter?
Test Enanthate is soluble in oil you don't "NEED" the BB...
Although, if you want it to have a little better viscosity then BB/EO is a good combo to mix it with. I would say 15%/15% of each is a good mix... GSO and 1.8% BA.

(Pieve di Cadore, Italy today, 1490-Venice, 1576) Italian Painter. He started his studies in the workshop of Giovanni Bellini. At eighteen years old he went into the school Giorgione. The poetic conception of his painting left a deep imprint on Titian, as is evident in all his works of youth, and especially in the enigmatic allegory Sacred Love and profane love, canvas with which enshrines as a master of female nude. It also reflects a natural talent in the landscape. Previously, it had collaborated with Giorgione in the realization of the frescoes on the facade of Fondaco dei Tedeschi and had made the Padua Miracles of St. Anthony for the Scuola del Santo. He became the most important painter in Venice and was appointed official painter of the Republic.
His best known and admired works at present are those of mythological and allegorical themes, but the artist began the brighter side of his career with a series of altarpieces with strong and contrasting colors and powerful figures such as The Assumption or Alterpiece Pesaro to Santa Maria dei Frari. They are works of strong composition showing great vitality. The same dynamic patterns are repeated in the mythological works of this period as Bacchanal or Bacchus and Ariadne. By then, Titian was also revealed as a great portraitist, establishing a new pattern: the protagonist is reproduced half a body, with visible and real hands , but with some idealized traits. Around 1530, he lost his wife, and his style turned to less dynamic compositions, and more brighter and complementary colors rather than contrasting. By then, the reputation of the painter reached all the European courts, this enabled him to receive orders from Carlos I of Spain and Francis I of France, monarchs who portrayed. For the Duke of Urbino painted the famous Venus of Urbino, a new sensuality in the art of Renaissance. In 1545-1546, he made a trip to Rome, which marked the starting point towards a new treatment based on color and long strokes, and touches that undo forms and give a slight and pleasing appearance to his paintings . Between 1548 and 1562 was claimed by Carlos I and then by his son Philip II, for who, in addition of portraits, he made some mythological paintings called by the painter poetry for their idyllic and distant nature. His latest documented work The Pietà of Venice, presents affinities with the manierism. His latest documented work The Pietà of Venice, presents affinities with the manierism. The greatness of Titian, his fame, which exerted great influence contrasted with his character as a miser man, who always complained of being poor despite the great fortune he had.

The purpose of this paper is to present some research results we obtained in analysing knowledge dynamics during negotiation processes. For knowledge dynamics we use the semantic spectrum currently used in thermodynamics, through a metaphorical interface. In our view knowledge dynamics means complex transformations from one form of knowledge into another form of knowledge. In our research we considered the dyad containing cognitive knowledge and emotional knowledge, in the Nonaka's oneness perspective. Cognitive knowledge is represented by the explicit or the rational knowledge. Emotional knowledge is represented by the result of processing our sensory information and integrating it into the non‑rational mind. Similar to energy, knowledge can be found in organizations and society in different forms: explicit knowledge, implicit knowledge, tacit knowledge, emotional knowledge, spiritual knowledge, symbolic knowledge. Our hypothesis is that one form of knowledge can be transformed into another form in a given Ba. Our research focused on iterative transformations of cognitive knowledge into emotional knowledge and of emotional knowledge into cognitive knowledge during negotiation processes. We designed and performed 28 experiments of simulated negotiations between an experienced negotiator and different individuals without any training in negotiations. The duration of each experiment was about 20 minutes. We videotaped all of these experiments obtaining about 9 hours of recorded negotiations. There were basically two types of negotiations: a) a typical trade negotiation, and b) a typical salary negotiation. Based on a well designed script, the experienced negotiator sent different cognitive and emotional messages to the would be employee, who has been asked to answer using both written and verbal answers. In the same time we recorded his expressions that reflected the emotional answer. By analysing the induced messages and the cognitive and emotional answers for each participant we got interesting results concerning the knowledge dynamics in the negotiation processes.

Smitty's a hero with a big four zero
It's been a while since I've been to a Nuggets game and before the game started the Nuggets were on a four game win streak. The Nuggets are H-O-T (29-8) this season and I was hoping the wife and I's presence wouldn't interfere with that momentum.
Unfortunately we didn't get there early enough to see the Nuggets warm-up. We arrived about five minutes into the game.
The star of the show tonight was my favorite Nugget J.R. Smith. Smitty scored an insane 40 points tonight. J.R. was allowed to start the game and seriously took advantage of that opportunity.
I'm glad that Krista, I and 18, 231 others in attendance were able to witness "Smitty's Basketball School". It was downright pleasurable watching the Wizzards being subject to "Professor Smith's" night classes and failing miserably.
At one point towards the beginning of the game the Wizzards were up by seven points but once the Nuggets snatched the lead back it was never returned leading at one point by as much as 17 points.
Here's a picture show for you. As always let me know what you think. You don't have to love basketball to enjoy a good picture.
Here's Renaldo Balkman about to earn his money.

One of J.R.'s many shots tonight.
Chauncey Billups scored 5 points and had six assists in his 32 minutes of play.
The score at half-time.
The Nuggets half-time show was wild. The outfits were so bright I thought somebody had possibly slipped something in my drink. The colors were intense.
The ladies strutting their bling.
I'm not quite sure exactly what I'm witnessing here but this dude had some rhythm.
Then it got really intense, it was starting to make me dizzy.
So by now the room is spinning so I had to look away to regain my balance. I looked up and what did I see?
A big old Coors can. Beware of the useless coupons that this and similar blimps like to drop on your head. You could really get hurt and the coupons are worthless. Tell you what, float a big "Fat Tire" beer bottle up there and maybe I'll risk injury, but for a Coors (aka Rocky Mountain pisswater), I wouldn't walk to the fridge.
Save you knees, a free paper isn't worth an injury either. I tell you what, if those stupid blimps dropped baseballs it would be game on…
A Ranter basketball blog entry wouldn't be complete without a obligatory cheerleader shot🙂
Check out the guys face on the far right holding up the cheerleader, he's hurting.
I'll zoom in on his expression for you, priceless🙂
Sorry dude, I didn't mean to expose you nationally but you really need to work on your game face.
Love this expression.
By far the "Best Hat of the Game". I guess if you can afford a snazzy hat like that, court side seats are chump change.
Kleiza going for the block with Birdman ready for the rebound.
The Birdman with the slamajama.
Birdman had 18 points, 11 rebounds and get this…6 blocked shots. All that in only 22 minutes. This dude is awesome to watch and the fans love him.
Welcome to Denver brotha, where you been?
I'm not sure who this guy was, but he may actually be attending Referee School.
He kept standing up and moving his arms and saying, "safe". It's cool, you meet all kinds of people at at Nuggets game and I like baseball.

Hey D,
Sweet pict of you and Krista. Looks like a fun time was had.
Oh, and Game on. I'll participate. I'm lookin' forward to gettin' a bunch of autographs this year. Now that I know where else to get autographs besides by 1st base. I'm not even going to try and pretend that I will get any balls, being athletically challenged, but you never know. I like that you take the # of games attended into account.
You get great pictures at everything you go to.
Beautiful Native American regalia. I wish I had a culture–I don't think white counts.
"The Denver Post… we are Colorado." Yeah, right.

Guess by your thinking they will just have to change the name of the stadium from Coors Field to Pisswater Field. Kinda gets you in the heart doesen't it? I happen to like Coors Lite…..but then i am not a beer fan unless it contains an equal amount of Motts Clamato ……..Dad
DAD-If they renamed it Pisswater Field, I would suggest when you're out here opening day weekend and we're watching the game stay away from the drinking fountains and stick to the bottled water eh?🙂
Besides, why would you wreck a beer with clamato?…D-jr
ohhhh suuuuuuuure…. you go to a Nuggets game & they win, but when I go to Nuggets games they LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
No fair😛
http://rocktober-2007.mlblogs.comP.S.: I've been to 4 Nuggets games (3 at the Old McNichols Sports arena, 1 at the Pepsi Center).
"I would suggest when you're out here opening day weekend and we're watching the game stay away from the drinking fountains"
I agree about Coors Field's drinking fountains, they s&@k, I think they use recycled water for those things? (Not positive, only guessing) either way your better off buying bottled water or other drinks from those vendors inside or outside Gate D if you don't wanna spend a lot of bucks inside.

Extradition for murder suspect a go
BRATTLEBORO A Charlestown, N.H., man accused of murdering his estranged wife in June at the home they once shared appeared in a Vermont court Wednesday where his bail on separate charges from an incident in Bellows Falls was struck so he can be turned over to New Hampshire authorities to face a murder charge.
James R. Robarge, 43, was charged last month with reckless second-degree murder in the death of his wife, Kelly J. Robarge, 42. Kelly Robarge disappeared from the couples Happy Acres Road home June 27, the same day she filed for divorce. Her body was found in a wooded area off Britton Road in Unity, N.H., on July 6. The state medical examiner determined the cause of death was homicide.
James Robarge has been in Vermonts custody since July 2, after he allegedly led police on a brief chase when they tried to intercept him on his way to a medical appointment at the Rockingham Medical Group health care facility in Bellows Falls just hours before the couples two daughters hosted a candlelight vigil for their then-missing mother.
He was charged with gross negligent operation and attempting to elude police.
In court Wednesday, a Vermont prosecutor asked a judge to strike Robarges $5,000 bail on those charges, and the condition that he not leave the state of Vermont in order to pave the way for his extradition. Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin signed a warrant from N.H. Gov. Maggie Hassan identifying Robarge as a murder suspect in New Hampshire, which was served to Robarge on Wednesday, Windham County Deputy States Attorney Steven M. Brown said.
Robarge waived his right to challenge extradition Wednesday, Brown said.
New Hampshire law enforcement officials have 14 days to pick up Robarge to bring him back to New Hampshire, according to Senior Assistant N.H. Attorney General Susan Morrell.
Morrell said her office is working with N.H. State Police, who will transport Robarge to New Hampshire, to determine a day and time when that could occur.
Once back in New Hampshire, Robarge will be arraigned on the murder charge within 24 hours of his arrival, Morrell said.
Robarges arraignment will take place in 5th Circuit Court District Division in Claremont, N.H.
Police affidavits show Robarge was found by police with blood on his clothes and scratches on his body near his broken-down vehicle on Chestnut Street in Unity the day Kelly Robarge went missing, just a few miles from where her body was later discovered. Police also found bloody towels and a plastic-coated wire with blood on it near the vehicle. The affidavit says police determined Robarges vehicle had broken down because it was leaking oil, and that they found oil and tire marks at the scene on Britton Road. Police said they also found several blood spatters inside the Happy Acres Road home that indicated a physical altercation occurred in the house.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

The Life-Saving Importance of AEDs
Here are some of the reasons why more and more hotels are investing in AEDs and making early defibrillation a part of their emergency response plans:
- Defibrillation within three minutes of sudden cardiac arrest increases the chances of survival to 70 percent. Shock within one minute of collapse raises the survival rate to 90 percent.
- Calling 911 is necessary but the wait for first responders may take too long. The average call-to-shock time in a typical community is nine minutes.
- AEDs are becoming the hotel and hospitality industry standard, with hotels implementing AED programs at a growing rate. The sheer law of numbers makes the chance of SCA occurring in a hotel or fitness center very real; with an AED program in place you are prepared.
- With AEDs becoming common safety devices, hotels, and resorts could be at risk for not having an AED on site.
- Leading hotels and resorts such as the Sheraton Hotel are part of a growing number of hotel chains (including Starwood, Best Western, and Wyndham Vacation Properties) that partner with Cardiac Science to provide life-saving AEDs.
Why a Powerheart® is Right for You
Cardiac Science designed the Powerheart G3 Plus automatic AED so most anyone could use it. Once the defibrillation pads are applied, the AED determines if a shock is required and administers one if it's needed.
Our AEDs also provide:
- Patented Rescue Ready® technology that self-checks all main AED components (battery, hardware, software, and pads) daily. The AED completes a partial charge of the high-voltage electronics weekly, and a full charge monthly.
- RescueCoach™ voice prompts that guide you during a rescue situation.
- A helpful text screen that runs in tandem with the voice prompts, which is especially useful for rescuers in noisy environments. The screen also provides valuable rescue information to professional rescuers when they arrive on the scene.
- Variable escalating energy that determines the electrical impedance (resistance level) of each patient and customizes the energy level delivered. If more than one shock is necessary, our proprietary STAR® biphasic software escalates the energy to deliver therapy at an appropriate, higher level.
- A eight-year warranty that is one of the longest in the industry. We also provide a four-year, full operational guarantee on the Intellisense® lithium battery used with the AED G3 and G3 Plus defibrillators.

TV's 'Mr. Food' dead at 81
Art Ginsburg endeared himself to millions for decades
Art Ginsburg, more widely known as the beloved television chef "Mr. Food," is dead at age 81, The Associated Press reported.
Ginsburg died at his home in Weston, Fla., following a yearlong struggle with pancreatic cancer, according to the AP.
Featured on local TV broadcasts for decades, Mr. Food was known for his quick weeknight cooking recipes and the trademark phrase "Ooh! It's so good!"
According to the Flint Journal, Ginsburg was originally a butcher who started a local television food program in 1975 at a TV station in Schenectady, N.Y.
"Even when I was 7 years old, I would ask my mom if I could make lunch," Ginsburg told the newspaper in a 2011 interview. "Mixing all the ingredients together, it made me feel like a scientist. I was creating something. I loved it."
Mr. Food has aired on WISC-TV since 1982.

- Title
- The challenges of market research in emerging markets: a practitioner perspective from Sub-Saharan Africa
- Author(s)
- Greenland, Steven; Kwansah-Aidoo, Kwamena
- Abstract
- This paper makes a contribution to the limited body of academic literature on market research in emerging markets, more specifically the less developed countries of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It should not only assist academics interested in emerging market research challenges, but also practitioners keen to pursue one of the last remaining emerging market frontiers. The research provides a checklist to help ensure research projects are designed to overcome the many challenges encountered. The study may also facilitate the training of research executives, as well as educating clients, by helping them to more fully appreciate the complexities of SSA. While there is an expanding body of literature on international marketing research, very little looks specifically at SSA. Furthermore, few studies examine the subject from the perspective of the market research industry practitioner. This paper does that, by exploring the challenges of conducting market research with SSA consumers from the practitioner standpoint. The study adopts a qualitative approach to investigate the experiences of 49 professionals working in the SSA market research industry. The research identifies a complex array of challenges facing those researching African consumers, which relate to the region's unique micro and macro environmental conditions. The challenges are categorised in terms of political and economic, legislative, environmental, socio-cultural and infrastructure, as well as significant client and research resourcing issues. These are summarised in a conceptual framework that presents a holistic picture of the situation and provides a checklist of the factors that need to be considered during the research process. Overcoming the challenges invariably has significant impact upon research methodology design, project management processes, as well as associated project costs and duration. These issues indicate that companies seeking research suppliers in SSA need to reconceptualise the nature of the client–agency relationship.

Dwight Eisenhower
Dwight Eisenhower – a warning from the past concerning science and government
If you're any student of history, you're aware of the speech President Eisenhower gave upon his leaving the presidency. It is often referred to as the "Military/Industrial complex speech".
In it he warned against the future problems we'd encounter by the establishment of a permanent "military/industrial complex" (something we'd never had prior to WWII).
But are you also aware he warned against the establishment of something else that it took WWII to create (think Manhattan Project)? You'll recognize it immediately:
Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system — ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.
Emphasis is mine and it is something which has indeed come true and is alive and well in the current "science" of global warming.
Then add this – because this hasn't been changed or disproven. From S. Fred Singer's book, "Unstoppable Global Warming – every 1500 years" (2007, 2008):
…[T]he Antarctic ice cores tell us that the earth's temperatures and CO2 levels have tracked closely together through the last three ice ages and global warnings. However, CO2 has been a lagging indicator, its concentrations rising about 600 to 800 years after the temperatures warm. Oregon State climatologist George Taylor explains the significance of this fact:
Early Vostok analysis looked at samples centuries apart and concluded correctly that there is a very strong relationship between temperatures and CO2 concentrations. The conclusion for many was obvious: when CO2 goes up, temperatures go up, and vice versa. This became the basis for a number of scary looking graphs in books by scientist Stephen Schneider, former VP Al Gore, and others, predicting a much warmer future (since most scientists agree that CO2 will continue to go up for sometime). Well, it's not as simple as that. When the Vostok data were analyzed for much shorter time periods (decades at a time rather than centuries), something quite different emerged. Huburtus Fischer and his research team from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography reported: "the time lag of the rise in CO2 concentrations with respect to temperature change is on the order of 400 to 1000 years". In other words, CO2 changes are caused by temperature changes.
Yet somehow the science has been perverted over the years to now characterize CO2 as not only a current indicator of warming but a cause of warming. As far as I've been able to determine, what is written above has yet to be disproven or disputed.
So here we are with a government which is interested in increasing revenue by literally creating a tax out of thin air, and we have a well funded government "science" – a $103 billion dollar "gravy train" (that figure was quoted quite often at ICCC6) and we wonder why we're getting the conclusions we're getting from those scientists?
Ike was a pretty smart guy. He saw all of this coming from way off. Whenever government takes control of science (or any other field) to serve its purposes by providing huge incentives to do so, it's going to get what it wants. And it has, at least to a point. What it hasn't gotten, however, is indisputable truth concerning its theories concerning CO2. That means its taxation scheme is dead.
However, as long as it continues to fund science and scientists with massive amounts of money, it will provide tremendous incentive to get at least a portion of those who call themselves scientists to serve government's policy aims. That's incredibly dangerous.
The answer is precisely what we've seen happen in this particular debate – skepticism. Insistence on the scientific method. The understanding that, as Roy Spencer said, "It only takes one scientists (skeptic) to be right for the IPCC to be wrong". And we've seen that quite often as the IPCC's findings and conclusions have been shown to contain errors of fact, errors of omission, propaganda and alarmism unsupported by fact or science.
We need to get government out of science. Wasn't this the administration which said it was going to "restore" science to its proper place? That proper place is without government subsidy or, as we've experienced through the AGW fiasco, "[t]he prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money …", perverts science and makes it a servant to political policy. That, friends is infinitely more dangerous to our freedoms than the military/industrial complex.

I think the focal point of mainstream religion has changed - http://www.ebook-search-queen.com/ebook/reli/religion+and+ethics.all.html .That's part of the "see the world in black and white" that the fundamentalists find so important about their "my way or the highway to hell".

Hello Ursi,
I have to link to this blog because I think that is so important when it comes to manifestation and getting what you want in life. All the great successful people in the world today did some form of visualization. And a vision board is one of the most powerful manifestation tools to date in my opinion.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A former Wisconsin prosecutor accused of rampant sexual harassment has agreed to plead no contest to six ethics violations.
The state Office of Lawyer Regulation filed a complaint against former Calumet County District Ken Kratz in November alleging 11 breaches of state Supreme Court attorney conduct rules. The complaint alleges Katz solicited a domestic abuse victim, had sex with a woman he prosecuted and made sexual remarks to other women, and asked the court to suspend his law license.
A hearing is set for Tuesday.
Office of Lawyer Regulation attorney Tom Basting agreed to drop five counts including two connected to the sexual assault allegations that he dropped Friday. Kratz agreed to plead no contest to the remaining six counts.

Early education advocates were doing what they could Thursday to drum up support for bills that give kids a better chance at learning.
"You think for every dollar invested in early childhood education is a $4.20 return on that investment," Kanoe naone, CEO of INPEACE.
More than 1,200 keiki and families and early childhood education organizations converged on the State Capitol to send a message: two key measures establishing a statewide early childhood education program will be money well spent.
"It's money that's actually going to further our children instead of making them fall backwards," said Cyrus Young.
"I see the difference between children that have preschool experience and children that don't. The children that have it, they're ready to go. They're on the ball. They're on key with what they need to know" said Keala Young. "But those children that are unable to come out to our programs, they struggle."
Although the bills have the backing from state lawmakers, they have zero funding in the budget right now.
And the Hawaii State Teachers Association has strong concerns over one aspect calling for public funds to provide preschool financial help to needy families.
But, these proponents say this program can't wait. Not what research shows the youngest years, zero to eight years, are critical for learning.
"If you want to look at the long term well-being and economic well-being of our state, then we really need to invest in early childhood education," said Naone.
Senate bills 1093 and 1095 have passed out of the House Education Committee and are scheduled to be heard in the House Finance Committee.

Sustainability house
Rebekah Creshkoff dreamed of a straw-bale house. A dedicated birder, she had spent her adult life in New York City riding her bike to work every day across Central Park. There, a downy woodpecker had gotten to know her well enough to eat out of her hand.
In 2010, she and her husband Lenny Friedland rented a house for the summer in Narrowsburg. They liked it so much, the next year they found themselves dreaming about building a home. Another rental on River Road in Callicoon turned those dreams into plans.
Their real estate broker, Elise Freda, pointed them to a lot on a blissful stretch of the Delaware River and to Jeff McMahon, a local expert in sustainable building. Jeff saw the lot and quickly dispelled Rebekah's notion of a straw-bale house, but he merged with the couple's vision of sustainable, energy-conscious architecture. He told them he could build them a house that was 100% energy efficient. They were savvy New Yorkers, so the concept of 100% anything stretched believability.
They suspended their disbelief long enough to listen to McMahon's ideas. With local architect Michael Chojnicki, Jeff designed a simple two-story structure clad in recycled barn-board on a poured concrete slab. "Michael is my number one go-to on construction issues in the river valley," says McMahon. "I learn from all the people involved in the construction process," he says, including the clients, who taught McMahon about bird-friendly building.
Rebekah is involved with Project Safe Flight, an Audubon Society program that collects data and advises builders on bird-friendly practices. The windows of the River Road house are marked with a special bird tape (www.abcbirdtape.org) that prevents birds from colliding into them. It also has a pleasing graphic quality. Deep overhangs over windows also help by minimizing reflections. "Sustainability means being sensitive to the outside," says McMahon. "This is my first experience with a client whose sensibilities were so attuned to the avian species." The couple's white-faced cockatiel, Snowflake, slept under cover at the time of this reporter's visit, but he is reported to prefer the calm of his new country home to the noisy city life. He now exhibits anxiety when he spends too much time visiting the city.

A really delicious cake! After reading some of the comments, I added 40g ground almonds and made it up to 190g with self-raising flour. The Nutella did sink to the bottom slightly during cooking but it didn't matter! I baked this is an oblong tin for around 25-30 mins and it came out springy and light.
Yummmm! Made this first time, after reading some of the previous comments, I reduced the flour to 185g and reduced the sugar and butter to 150g. I microwaved the Nutella and probably used more than the recipe!! I checked it after 45 mins and it was abit wobbley so left it for a further 10mins! It came out golden, light and fluffy, we couldn't wait 10mins for it too cool so tucked in after about 5mins! Delish!!! Will make again... Oh didn't have hazelnuts just sprinkled chopped nuts...
Fourth time I've made this cake and as before it disappeared within minutes. The last couple of times I reduced the sugar to 150g and this time used ground hazlenuts, which worked really well. I have melted the Nutella so it stays in the middle, but I actually prefer it to sink to the bottom as you get a crisp, crunchy top and a loely chewy, gooey bottom. A quick and easy cake, which comes out great every time.
Lovely cake. Took note of a lot of the comments and made the following changes:
Used 150g self-raising flour and also added 50g of ground almonds which produced a wonderfully moist texture. I also warmed up Nutella, then added small dollops before swirling around with skewer; didn't add any hazelnuts which didn't seem to matter. Baked in centre of oven for 60 mins at 160C. Beautiful result with no hard, burnt crust.
I bake ALOT so I know what I'm doing, and this cake was totally wrong. The only change I made was to use 180g sr flour instead of 200g. Well, it was so dry that I dread to think what 200g flour would've been like! I melted the Nutella and put 3/4 up the cake so it wouldn't sink too much (as per advice on previous comments). Whilst the Nutella didn't sink, it did turn into firm lumps (not nice and gooey as I'd envisaged). And it was actual Nutella (original brand) as well! I don't know where the hell an hour cooking time came from as mine (at 170 degrees) was completely black on the top and edges. The centre (the only edible bit) was quite like a banana bread in texture, so perhaps this could be baked for less time in a load tin? I was so disappointed, as the cinamon batter & Nutella (I was curious whilst baking!) tasted lovely together. To be honest I don't think Nutella works in a cake - perhaps a microwave choc pudding, or a muffin or ramekin in the oven would work. Additionally I imagine Nutella frosting would be tasty! Don't waste your time and money like I did attempting this cake - one of the worst (of about a hundred!) cakes I've made :(
sorry, i do agree that it does not need 2 b cooked 4 as long as an hour (i didn't cook it 4 an hour, because i have the sense 2 check it when it is cooking!)but it is a lush cake i say attempt this cake, but it only needs 2 b cooked 4 about 40 mins.....
u must have baked it wrong, coz the nutella did sink in mine and it was not hard!
how much do u bake anyway????
i do food tech at skool 4 GCSE so i cook alot 2... and i cook a lot at home....
Lovely cake. Followed the recipe but tried melting the nutella a little as suggested before adding it to the cake...it still sank to the bottom of the cake but it did make a nice chewy layer of nutty chocolate! Will try melting it into liquid next time to see if I can keep it in the middle. Definitely making again. Left out the nuts as was made for young children, and added a layer of chocolate butter icing to the top with smarties for decoration.
A delicious easy light cake for an afternoon snack. I followed the recipe exactly except for substituting a handful of walnuts for hazelnuts. Mine was done in 45 minutes at 355F so watch out for that! I'm glad I checked! My chocolate spread stayed in the middle perhaps because I melted it until it was runny, or maybe because of the shorter cooking time.

Young Hunter -- Santa Rosa, CA -- June 1st, 2012
So, the show was scheduled to start at 7, so I got there a little after 7, not too worried about missing anything, because all local shows start late. But last night that was put to the extreme, because the concert didn't start 'til about 9. Fortunately, my friend Ben was there, so we talked for those two hours. At about 9, the first band started
Right off the bat, I knew that the night would be an interesting one, sonically. None of the bands were alike at all. The first band, Tierras Altas, were some weird fucking expermintal shit. The band consisted of a cellist, bassist and drummer. The bassist would also play guitar sometimes. Their songs were really quirky and I didn't really know what to make of them, but they put on an enjoyable set. Only thing that was kind of lame was that their drummer often dropped the beat and it was obvious he was really new to drumming. That aside, they were energetic, and they had some awesome little yellow toy that moved around when they played. I'll post pics of it once my buddy puts 'em up on facebook.
The next act was a singer/songwriter thing. Her name was Laina Torres, but I don't think she always performs as a solo artists, because she said she normally had some accompaniment. Anywho, she played folk music. It was alright, and she had a good voice, but it got kind of scratchy when she hit higher notes. She played 3 songs with a guitar and one with a bass-ukelele, which was interesting.
The next band was Space Hunter. They were a kick to watch, because they didn't know how to use their gear. They took a good chunk of time to set up, then once they got on stage they had further technical difficutlies. The guitarist couldn't get the tone he wanted or something and had feedback issues. But their actual music was alright. I don't know what to call 'em, I guess electro-rock, because they had a drum machine and electronic melodies playing during their songs. The songs were enjoyable and seeing the guitarist trying to figure out his gear was funny. Only real complaint was that they were uncomfortably loud at times.
Finally, after prepping the stage, Young Hunter came on. My body was ready for their set and they delivered. They were professional. They got on the stage, knew how to work their gear, and were well rehearsed. Young Hunter are a 7 piece, and it's really for the better. They've got three guitarist, a bassist, two drummers, and a keyboard player. One of the guitarist and the keyboardist are the main vocalist, and another guitarist also lends his voice for harmonies. So, they started their set with the opening track off Stone Tools, The Harbringer. Right from the start I was impressed with how well they re-create their sound on disc into the live enviornment. They've got all the extra percussion, the mix was great and everybody sounded spot on. The dim lights and fog machine only added to the overall huge sound that they were delivering. Every song they played sounded great and the band had awesome stage presence. They weren't getting all Dillenger or anything, but their movements fits the music peferctly. They were into it. Something I also really admired was that they threw in some improv/jam into their set. On one of the tracks, where on disc they go into a really fast section with a blast beat, they instead busted out a sick groove and jammed for a bit. Everything about their set was perfect. The mix/sound, the ambiance, and the music. This was by far the best performance I've seen all year. After listening to the album, I'm fairly certain they played every track, just not in order. I'll get an official setlist from 'em on facebook or something.

After Young Hunter was done, we went to the merch booth and talked to some of the guys for a bit. They were really nice. Turns out that some of the dudes were orginally from the area, which is why they decided to book a gig here before they start their west coast tour with Cormorant. I bought their CD which came with a sweet poster, and they also had some show poster and stickers for free dollars, so I nabbed some of thems too. After that, we continued to talk to some of the dudes outside the venue about music, the area, and other stuff. The guys are super nice. This was a great way to start off the summer concert series. If you get the chance to see Young Hunter, do it. Also, if you like stoner metal and/or desert rock, listen to Stone Tools, now.

I saw a post-Oscars party-doorstepping by the Beeb (at the Vanity Fair party, I think), where (Sir) Ian McKellen seemed exceedingly tired and emotional (remember that euphemism?). It was around 0900 this morning (GMT), and he explained that though there were 11 awards, there actually 27 statuettes of Uncle Oscar handed out, so that they could be shared. And the trilogy had already won some 6 or so gongs for the first two films - though not the glamorous ones. All in all, therefore, Jackson and co. have about 33 Uncle Oscars to share between them - not exactly enough for a cast and crew of thousands, but slightly better odds.

ps. And to complete all the (film and other) reference, I almost referred to McKellen as 'another splendid bugger'.

Congrats, indeed! Despite it's deviation from the books, I enjoyed the trilogy immensely. I watched the Oscars last night and -- like a total loon -- talked aloud to the television; warning the Academy not to slight LOTR's again. Must have worked.
BTW, I read some time ago that Peter Jackson is trying to get the rights to The Hobbit, so he can make it into a film as well. According to the article, Sir Ian McKellan is quite willing to play Gandalf again. He said he preferred Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White at any rate.

Now that he has the gongs, he can drop the "Peter Jackson" alias, and go by his real name - Melkor._________________________

Can you imagine if they had stuck exactly to the books.
18 years of filming and 47 hours of movie. (63 hours for the extended version.)
And the dvd extras would show footage of Liv Tylers (sp??)grandchildren and Ian McKellan's nursing home.

It suddenly occurs to me that New Zealand as an entity didn't exactly sweep... Keisha didn't get nothin' but an introduction to Johnny Depp. Not that I'd turn up my nose, but.

Words Fail Me
Family-friendly words, that is. Words that are unfit for public viewing, that would scorch your retinas, are definitely NOT failing me at the moment – not last night, and not today.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I will have to rely on my handy alter-ego from last year's NLCS disaster to convey my true feelings about last night's display of utter crapitude:
6 Comments
Sending condolences, Sue. I wasn't happy when my Yanks were ousted so I know how it feels. Cursing is very helpful.🙂
Sorry Sue. The look on the fans faces said it all. We all been there. Hope you are feeling better.

PITTSBURGH, PA (April 29, 2010) – Allegheny County Airport Authority employees at Pittsburgh International Airport were named the winner of the 2009-2010 Balchen/Post Award for Outstanding Achievement in Airport Snow and Ice Control. Additionally, the airport won the Idea Corner and Legacy awards, giving Pittsburgh International Airport a "clean sweep" at the awards presentation, Wednesday, April 28 in Buffalo, New York. This is the 34th consecutive year the Balchen/Post has been presented; its purpose is two-fold: to promote better snow and ice control, and to recognize those individuals responsible for outstanding performance.
It is the fifth time Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) has received the Balchen/Post Award, sponsored by the Northeast Chapter of the American Association of Airport Executives and is presented each year at the International Aviation Snow Symposium. The PIT Snow Removal team won in 1979, 1984, 1985, and 1994. Additionally, it has received Honorable Mention six times. Airports from the United States and Canada compete for the prize.
"These employees deserve this commendation. In this era of FAA Tarmac Delay Rules, the honor represents one of the many ways that Pittsburgh International Airport addresses travelers' needs. With an Airport Arrival Rate of 80, PIT is superior to most airports in operating efficiencies, with snow removal being an important factor," said Glenn R. Mahone, chairman, Allegheny County airport Authority.
"This award is more than an honor; it is a testimony of the reliability and dependability of Pittsburgh International Airport to stay open and stay safe in all type of weather conditions, improving the on-time rates for airlines and enhancing customer service," said Bradley D. Penrod, CEO and Executive Director of the Allegheny County Airport Authority. "We faced a very challenging winter season with a record-breaking snowfall, and the Snow Removal Team did an outstanding job. Pittsburgh International Airport is among the best in the world at snow removal."
"The historic snowstorm experienced in February tested our metal. Crews worked around the clock during that storm and many others keeping the runways and taxiways safe for our passengers," said Tom Long, Airport Authority Director of Maintenance.
"Teamwork, communications and airfield awareness is critical to reducing the time it takes to clear snow, to maximize the availability of runways and to increase the safety factor of airfield operations. The FAA and the airlines are essential partners to our success." said Nino Sapone, Airport Authority Director of Airfield Operations.
The employees who participate in the snow removal process at Pittsburgh International Airport include Allegheny County Airport Authority employees from Operations, Field Maintenance, Facility Maintenance, the airlines, and the FAA Air Traffic Control Tower.
A total of 77 inches of snow fell at Pittsburgh International Airport during the 2009-10 (season ending March 21, 2010). That is 36 inches above average. The heaviest snowfall occurred on Feb. 5-6 when 21 inches of snow fell on the airport in a 22-hour span. Additionally, there 19 were snow storms with more than two inches of snow and four ice storms during the season.
Pittsburgh International Airport was also recognized with the Idea Corner Award for its "Broomvention" – a device that uses compressed air to assist those employees who are replacing worn bristles on snow brooms. This new piece of equipment, which was invented by Airport Authority heavy equipment mechanics, saves time, potential injury and allows heavy equipment operators to return to the airfield sooner to complete the snow removal process.
The team from PIT also won the Snow Symposium's Legacy Award for having the oldest piece of equipment still operating in the snow removal process. The PIT Snow Team won for still using its 1978 Snowblast Snow Blower, which clears runways of large, heavy snowdrifts.

CBC President Dr. Beatriz Espinoza issued the warning before her leadership team Monday, ironically meeting in the same room the board of trustees met in executive session April 18 to decide not to renew the contracts of 13 employees.
"It was a very hard meeting," she recalls. "I didn't go home for an hour after I left here. It was the first time, ever, that I have cried on the job."
She says she rode around in the car for an hour. "I have a 7-year-old; I didn't want her to see me like that."
The current and future cutbacks are part of Espinoza's comprehensive reorganization of the college.
"The best way I can describe it is that we need to 'right-size' the college," Espinoza says. "We need to be the best at who we are, not try to be everything for everyone. We can't afford that."
While the area CBC encompasses is enjoying the economic benefits of an unprecedented – and largely unexpected – oil boom, the availability of high-paying jobs is luring students who might otherwise enroll in the college.
Enrollment has been steadily dropping, and with it, revenue.
Espinoza is trying to focus the college firmly on the future.
"Who are we? Who do we serve?" she asks. "How do we serve them with excellence and how do we maintain that, knowing what our state reimbursement fund is, what our tax base is, what our enrollment is and what our community needs?"
Her harsh assessment?
"We are driving ourselves broke."
"The problem is," she says, "a lot of our programs are high-cost programs. It is very challenging to keep them going. We have had the luxury of using funds that have been put in reserve. We've used up those funds."
CBC trustees have ordered Espinoza to find ways for the college to restore those funds to a three-month minimum — which she says will require an annual payment of $1.5 million for the next three years.
The budgetary adjustments are across the board, she says.
"For instance, we do not have a print policy. Student can copy as much as they want, free: textbooks, one-sided and in color, as many as they want. From now on, they will have to pay for that."
Mark Secord, vice president of instruction, seconds the approach.
"At the end of the day, after looking at everything else, we were not even close to where we should have been. So, we had to look at the faculty. These cutbacks came late in the game."
Espinoza cites two examples: the college's machinist program and its business technology program.
"The machinist's program requires a lot of expensive machinery. But it has had low enrollment over the last four or five years. We can't keep a faculty member full-time just to teach six students, when the state mandate now is 25. If we don't shut down the program," she says, "the state will."
The business technology program, which has attracted much of the attention during the cutbacks, was teaching more sections than the students needed, Espinoza says. "We've had 12 graduates over a two-year period, but with a full-time faculty of 10. If you right-size the campus, you don't need half of that."
"The harsh reality," says Secord, "is that we are overstaffed."
From now on, Espinoza says, faculty members will be expected to teach not only face-to-face in a classroom, but also online and via video conferencing.
The cutbacks, she says, should have come as no surprise.
"Some people did not do due diligence in their roles. Faculty members were responsible for their own roles and responsibilities in policy, which they weren't. The division chair was responsible for working with them on a program review to make sure they were cost effective. At best, the reviews were weak. There were zero recommendations from the faculty, zero recommendations from the division chairs, zero recommendations from the dean. After begging for nine months to get some help but getting none, cutbacks were the solution."
Some faculty members affected have complained that they neither knew who made the decisions nor what criteria were used.
Looking around the conference table, Espinoza said, "It was my leadership team. We looked at the budget line by line."
Those whose contract were not renewed were picked using four criteria:
•Load Report — how many contact hours an instructor teachers in a week. The CBC policy is 450 contact hours a week. A contact hour is the measure of a teacher's class time. A one-hour class with 10 students would equal 10 contact hours.
•Credentials — Can the instructors teach across several areas in order to offer a diversity of courses?
•Modalities — is the instructor capable of teaching online or via video conferencing? Can the instructor travel to other CBC sites?
•Special Services — What do the instructors do for the college? Do they represent the college at the state level to keep it current?
"To this day, I can tell you that (the process) was fair, absolutely fair. It was torture, but it was fair," she says.
But not without controversy.
Dr. Emmanual Alvarado, the division chair of social sciences and humanities, also is the president of the 15-member CBC faculty senate.
Although he is leaving to take a position in Florida, he is not among those originally laid off.
(According to strict interpretation of CBC policy, having a contract not renewed does not constitute a "reduction in workforce.")
"The senate meets once a month, usually by video conferencing," he says. "Our relationship with the college president had been really good, until Dr. Espinoza came. The change was immediate. It's almost as if we did not have access to the president or, if we did, it was a scripted type of access. It made us feel irrelevant."
At a subsequent board meeting, he charged that the senate had been silenced.
"Shame on him!" Espinoza retorts, saying she sent him a memo about the various dates and times a faculty senate representative was supposed to meet with her.
Alvarado admits that the faculty may be viewing Espinoza's reorganization from only one perspective but blames the CBC administration's lack of communication with the faculty as the reason.
"I've never seen anything like this in a public college," he says. "When I came here, there was a certain energy and excitement that I didn't see even at the university level. Now, there is no motivation; morale is very low."
The existence of a faculty senate is mandated by the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities, which sets accreditation standards for Texas facilities.
So, does the senate have any recourse over the cutbacks?
"We can give the president or a board member a vote of no confidence," Alvarado says, "but it is a last-resort option."
Such votes are non-binding; trustees decide a response, if any.
For Alvarado, what action the senate might take is academic. He has cast his own vote. "I am leaving here because I have no confidence in the president or the administration. If I don't leave, then I am endorsing them."
Espinoza is no stranger to that option. In 2007, while vice president of learning services at Arizona Western College, the full-time faculty cast her a vote of no confidence related to her carrying out orders of the campus president to reorganize leadership positions — a process that took 10 months.
"I don't hide from the Arizona situation," Espinoza says, who stresses her work in Arizona bears no relation to her reorganization plan at CBC. "I would have treated it better, I would have not have let the sensationalized media make more of it than what it was."
"This place has gone completely nuts," exclaimed Jeff Massengill, CBC's communications division chair.
Or was. He had just received an email from Espinoza announcing he no longer was division chair, and that under her reorganization plan, communications now was part of the math division.
"I've been here for 12 years. It was the best job I ever had. I work with the best people on earth. They all are professionals. It's gone from that to my being demoted."
At the April 18 board meeting, Massengill told the board that his division had made adjustments for increasing contact hours and covering the needs of the students, but that his proposal had fallen on deaf ears. "There are solutions not as drastic as those that have been put forth. I beg you to consider what we have proposed. There are alternatives."
That he was demoted just short of a month later, he says, is retribution.
"I can't see any other reason," he says, while clearing his office of the textbook acquisition of a dozen years. "It's the only thing I can think of. I have been vocal but not disrespectful, and I've acted within the confines of the school's policies. "It's (the layoffs) all back-room deals and dirty."
His demotion, Espinoza says, "has nothing to do with what he said…but I would like him to be accurate and true in his statements… As an individual, he can say whatever he wants. When he's representing his position, it better be accurate, and it hasn't been. I have an issue with that."
With future cutbacks a possibility, Espinoza advises faculty members "when I'm delivering a message, whether in person or via a memo or an email, pay attention and read it."
Previous warnings about the financial straits facing CBC, she believes, did not sink in. "It must not mean me; it must mean someone else," she theorizes. "Well, it does mean you, and me and us together because there are solutions to this. You know exactly what I have in front of me. Help me find solutions."
Such internal conflicts, dismissed or ignored, are mostly hidden from those that Espinoza says is her prime target – students in this area who are not being reached.
"Five percent of our students are first-term students. They walk in, pay their tuition and come out with zero credits. They've failed everything. Can I sit here and be OK with that?
"That's not our new reality for higher education. We should be finding ways to make every student successful."
Her concern for the scholastic outcome of each student also is motivated by state funding. Increasingly, Austin is indexing the amount of financial support with the number of students who are graduated.
And whatever the cost, or however unpleasant, she plans to assure that CBC is healthy.
"Our new biennium will not be based on our existence," she proclaims, "but on our success."

- Should i be advocating for LOVENOX and/or LABETALOL from the get go?
Are there any tests anyone has done to check if they will have PE? at the hospital they told me next time i should request a doppler scan of the uterine arteries at 20 weeks to determine if something is not right with the blood flow/placenta. One doctor i saw post PE told me he does not favor this because then what does one do with the information? it will be a waiting game since patient will know it is coming, but not when...i intend to request this because after my experience i feel like it is best to know everything.any thoughts on this from people who have taken this scan? how about tests on Placental Growth Factor?
