Direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) is a surgery to repair a narrowed section of the urethra. This is referred to as a stricture. The urethra is the tube through which urine passes from the bladder to the outside of the body.
Urethral stricture is due to scarring of the urethra. This scarring may be caused by infection or injury. DVIU cuts through the scar tissue and opens the urethra.
Urethral stricture can result in:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
Your doctor may do the following:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 10 days before the procedure.
In the days leading up to the procedure:
General or spinal anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep or sedated through the surgery.
After you are asleep, a special tube called a cystoscope will be placed in your urethra to locate the stricture. Next, the DVIU scope will be placed into your urethra. A special tool will be used to cut away the scar tissue inside your urethra to make it wider. The scar tissue may be removed by cutting or using a laser or heat source. After the tissue is removed, the urethra and bladder area will be examined.
About 30 minutes
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
You will be able to go home the same day in most cases.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Plessy v. Ferguson
Issued on May 18, 1896, this Supreme Court decision upheld a Louisiana state law that allowed for "equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races" on railroad cars. Over the next 60 years, civil rights advocates challenged Plessy v. Ferguson, but it was not until the Supreme Court's 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education that state-enforced segregation was judged to be a violation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

Financially speaking
Jam of the week: "Upside Downslide" by Dorian Concept
As I've grown, I've overcome a number of primal fears. I no longer lie in bed with my eyes wide open after particularly scary shows about ghosts. I can lean just over the railings in the observation deck of Willis Tower, which most people still know as Sears Tower, with Ferris Bueller-like bravery. I'm not afraid to use only two examples to prove a point in a column.
One fear that has grown as I age is one that others have as well. I am terrible with dealing with finances. While I only had to worry about saving money to see a movie or buy copious amounts of energy drinks in high school, it became more important and more daunting as I went through college.
With odd jobs financing some of my living expenses through college, I found myself afraid to even look at my bank statements. I wasn't wasting money left and right, but I was certainly not forward with using my money as wisely as I could have. Of course, there was no logic in that fear. I'm sure I expelled more sweat worrying about my money than I would have if I just took a proactive stance on my finances.
Coming out of college and living on my own forced me to deal with my financial ineptitude. Once I had the income that I knew I could deal with food and bills, I sat down and took a few hours to budget out my income and how much money I could spend and save each month. It was very liberating and it was certainly much easier than I expected. I'm sure any math teacher I had could have knocked me over the head and told me the same thing long ago.
While I got over that fear and immediate problem, I now worry about saving money. I've had plenty of family members, teachers and other people wiser than I tell me that saving at this point in my life is much more important than down the line. I understand how interest works, but I still find it hard to find the money to save at this point.
Saving might be something I have to put off a little while until I have the money for it, but I know now that I need to be proactive about my money. I often put things in the Lifestyles section that I would like to go to but don't have the time for. The smart investing class at the Kendall Young Library is one that I will make time for.
The class has an orientation session on Jan. 31 at 6:30 p.m. at the library and offers online coursework through February to March 6, with a wrap-up session on March 7. I can't even remember the name of the class I had to take in high school, which was basically a home economics class, that taught me about finances. I think that shows about how much I retained that knowledge. However, I don't blame the teacher, I blame myself for not taking it more seriously and taking that information to heart.
I owe it to myself to be proactive on this front. Not only because I think the living room television set is old enough that I call it a television set, but because the sooner I learn about how to invest well, the sooner it will pay off.

NEW YORK — Some of the biggest and most storied Manhattan retailers see their elaborate seasonal window displays as gifts to passers-by.
"Every store has its own style," said David Hoey, senior director of visual presentation at Bergdorf Goodman.
"We try to pick a theme that will lend itself for us to go to town. We all do."
Here's a small sampling of what can be seen through December at the stores:
Bergdorf Goodman
The "Holidays on Ice" theme exists in something akin to a "time warp," Hoey said.
The details cover the 17th through the 21st centuries — all coated with a little glimmer.

Another party celebrates the traditional trappings of the season: finding gifts at shops, taking tea and kissing good night.

Skip to comments.Robert Gibbs: NRA No Match For Obama Campaign Apparatus
Posted on 01/16/2013 6:02:13 AM PST by Tailgunner Joe
Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on Wednesday said the leftover campaign apparatus from President Barack Obama's re-election bid is more than capable of overpowering the lobbying efforts of the National Rifle Association.
Gibbs said the president may have to return to campaign mode in order to push for new gun policies, suggesting that Obama should barnstorm the country to promote the proposals that the White House will unveil on Wednesday.
"He's got to get out of the White House and travel the country," Gibbs said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "He's got to make his case directly to the people."
Gibbs said Obama's ultra-sophisticated campaign operation could serve as a vital asset in making that case, arguing that the grassroots infrastructure that secured the president two terms can trump any effort by the NRA despite the pro-gun lobby's claims of a spike in membership since last month's massacre in Newtown, Conn. Vice President Joe Biden reportedly told House Democrats earlier this week that the White House intended to deploy campaign resources to ramp up support for its gun control proposals.
"The president has the most exciting campaign apparatus ever built. It's time to turn that loose," Gibbs said. "It's time to turn that loose for something more than just an election. If the NRA's got a list, then Obama for America has a bigger list."
We'll see. I have my doubts that the president can win this one.
As much as I hate to admit it, Gibbs is right on with this. These slimeballs are organized and can get the low-lifes out to vote and spread their Nazi-like propaganda.
I think the thing they are overlooking, however, is that this isn't a Dem/Rep issue. This crosses both parties, as there are many Dems who won't support gun control proposals.
NRA Americans No Match For Obama Campaign Apparatus. The NRA IS Americans. The "Obama campaign apparatus" is nothing but a bunch of anti-American Nazis.
Did the asshat mention the Campaign Apparatus includes 90% of mainstream media?
We need a million gun march on DC.
1 million armed people to show up at the capitol to hold their guns in the air in silence.
Gibbs said the president may have to return to campaign mode
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Has he EVER left the campaign mode?
Isn't this basically using campaign funds for a 'private, personal project'?
It is a true statement about 'outfunding' the NRA - HE HAS ALL OUR MONEY to use against US, until the do-nothing Congress gets a spine and starts unfunding some of this BS
Notice we don't really hear about the millions of dollars worth of Czars anymore.
Is that really any different than hiring a bunch of cronies just to put them on the payroll?
Thought Ambassadorships were for that purpose - to reward your 'friends'
Why aren't 'OUR GUYS' using all the rhetoric from the first campaign - no bills passed before C Span and 24 hour hold to review, open policy on hires, etc etc etc...
Why didn't MITT use it? Actually I guess Mitt & Co were tired from bringing down all the 'evil R's' so they weren't able to launch an 'assault' on the real enemy— the Liberal D party..
A not-so-veiled declaration of war on the American people.
Thank GOD the Constitution is not up to a majority vote; we'd surely lose.
With the help of their toadies in the MSM, Barry and the 'RATS have taken anti-gun hysteria to to a whole new level.
That is what I was going to point out. RTBA is a constitutional issue, so while they may think they can get people in front of the cameras, or to persuade a certain type of voting in each state, there won't be the ability to get a constitutional amendment passed.
State level laws have been shot down at the supreme court level time after time, so even those state level laws will fail.
I would think there would be anything but silence. If you plan on marching on DC armed, you better be ready to go all the way.
The media would not cover it otherwise.
I'm with you, he's badly deluded if he thinks he can win this in the long run. (in fact there are so many other issues where he CAN successfully roll the Pubbies I am really quite stunned he has chosen this hill to die on).
Dirty little secret about the Obama campaign machine is that the participants only care about getting free stuff. Nothing more.
Gibbs is right - 'He's got to get out of the White House.' Oh, did I take that out of context? haha
An ideal outcome here would be for Obama to spend the next two years pushing for his "gun measures" only to fail with the current congress - who are already looking ahead to 2014 - and in doing so, ignite the pro 2A passions that hand the Democrats a minority in both houses of congress relegating Obeyme to lame duck in January 2015. Icing on this perfect cake would be tying the administration up in court challenges to any illegal EO's further limiting their bandwidth to destroy anymore of America.
Unfortunately the hypocritical leftist MSM management and hollywood have enough money to secure their homes and themselves to the hilt. Take all that security away and they would be singing a different tune.

That something is fascism. Isn't it great?
(Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on Wednesday said the leftover campaign apparatus from President Barack Obama's re-election bid is more than capable of overpowering the lobbying efforts of the National Rifle Association.)
How about you add a few million veterans to that effort? Or a few hundred thousand rank and file police officers? Or many thousands of previous crime victims that do not want to be victimized a second time and certainly not by the Government?
This is like the Permanent War in Orwell's 1984.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. And Obama is always campaigning.
And let's not forget Alinsky's Final Rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Obama: When Alinksy met Orwell.
To Arms! To Arms! The Brownshirts are coming. The Brownshirts are coming.
Bring it on scumbags. You will lose.
Sorry, I wish I were as optimistic. We are no longer a Constitutional Republic. We are not quite Chavez yet, in between the twilight zone.
The Constitution works only if/when all parties and governments agree to its execution. The way DC's operating it's just a piece of paper, we had lost even without going through a majority vote.
It worked so well in the health care debate, remember? Every time he went on TV to berate Americans for not agreeing with him, it's popularity went down.
He may have won in the end (by cheating) but it never got more popular. He won't get a single gun control floor vote in congress from this.
Conservatives and supporters of the 2nd amendment the Obama regime is using the 2nd amendment argument to blame gun owners for its inability to deal with the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings commited in areas under their solid control using illegally obtained firearms. Their solution to those inner city problems is to remove those rights provided by the constitution to have and bear arms from all US citizens.
None of those 19 so called "reforms" and unconstitutional efforts being edicted by who some call an emporer do not deal with those issues. They won't because instead of creating a uniformly democratic society where every citizen has an equal voice no matter what their race or ethnicity.
Their policies have grouped races and ethnic groups by gerrymandering congressional districts where much of this criminal activity occurs.
GOPES {goverment of the people (republican party) elites} see this issue as a 3rd rail because most of it is black on black or illegal vs illegal (Mexican) activity . GOPES are also afraid to say that policy has also increased racial tension but GOPES accept this because of the influence of mainline socialist media which would be accusing them of "racism" if they dare to question it by state controlled media. Which gets protected by the very constitution they seek to destroy.
Considering that the media monopolists are part of his apparatus, he may be right.
Flushed game or moving target?
I'd settle for a million without arms, but with signs. However, none of the major gun rights organizations seem interested in pushing mass demonstrations. Instead they are playing the call your congressman game and trying to fight the coming regulations. This is going to result in losing further ground, with the only question being how much ground. The left consistently mores the boundaries more toward state authoritarianism. We do need a people power take back the streets strategy, but no Martin Luther King for the second Amendment has appeared.
Have you been paying attention these last four years?
Gibbs, you couldn't be more wrong. The NRA's membership swelled in the past month by 250K. Can you say the same about the Obama's campaign thugs?
The perpetual campaign...Something else the GOP doesn't get.
True enough.
But it's not just the NRA that is involved - it's Gun Owners of America, Front Sight, and hundreds of national, state and regional organizations representing 80 million American gun owners. I am a member of several of these groups and we are far better organized - and motivated - than the Republican Party was last year.
Our freedom is at stake.
And I believe that the vast majority of law-abiding firearms owners in America would agree with me when I say:
I will NEVER, EVER give up my guns to anyone, no matter what. Take them by force, if you can. But I WILL NOT COMPLY with any law that violates the Constitution or my natural rights as a human being.
Based on congressional district, Romney won the electoral college. In that vein, I don't see Obama being as successful as he thinks.
If the power of persuasion does not work they will use the persuasion of power. Tyranny.
I have... but gun rights are a different order of magnitude in the minds of people who care about them. This isn't Obamacare, this is taking away people's guns. People care enough about this issue that if a law does get passed, they won't obey it, and in the meantime they will do their level best to end the political careers of the legislators that passed it.
There are a lot of single-issue voters on the 2nd Amendment. The fight this time around is an entirely different kettle of fish.
I'm becoming depressed and frustrated. I am to the point that I really feel like it's time to build a bunker and get ready for war. The media wants it, the liberals in America want it. The President wants it. I think that America is done. All I can do is pray for my children and teach them to shoot.
Dude, the 60's are over. That crap doesn't work anymore.
Go to your bunker - or DU - newbie concern troll, we will be just fine without you.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: A mile shortIn full: A pro events company could have paid marshals to make sure they turned up & actually knew what they were doing.This was a mile short as apparently a marshal had no clue where to direct us, & other people were getting lost due to poor marshaling.Would have been ok otherwise.Date of review: December 6, 2012
In short: Fairly hilly, tough one.....but very scenic.In full: A nice scenic one. I chose this one as it was by the same organisers as Grimsthorpe, & thought it would be an interesting one that respected the slower runners. (Getting greeted by the organiser on the finish line, medal in hand, was a nice touch for us slow buggers.....)Quite a tough one, especially after back to back marathons every week for 3 months...... Fairly hilly throughout. But good course, & far more interesting than plodding round a big city road marathon.No water left at the 12 mile drink station, so got a bit dehydrated. Water in bottles would be helpful.I made it a bit short....??I'll be back for the Grimsthorpe 70 & half marathon in July. Date of review: November 18, 2011
In short: Good off road HM.In full: No serious hills. Some trail & grass sections, with a long tarmac stretch.Nice run around the castle grounds.Plenty of parking, & you can stay afterwards & look around the castle.Well organised & friendly.T-shirt & medal, & great trophy for doing both this race & the Ultra yesterday...A nice touch. Date of review: August 22, 2011
In short: Great first Ultra, & so friendly.In full: This was my first Ultra, having only done 4 marathons. My main worry wanting to do an Ultra was navigating with a map & getting lost, & not feeling safe as a lone female at night. This is simply not an issue at Grimsthorpe. Easy to follow arrows & no map reading! And completely safe in the closed castle grounds at night.I guess multi laps aren't for everyone, but I liked the security of the check-point every 10 miles, to grab food & a cheery chat.Organisers couldn't have been more helpful. Competitors too. My new torch failed to work, & several people lent me one! A really epic race. Meant such a lot to me. With such a generous time limit for the 70, you really CAN do this race if you want it enough.Can't wait for next year. (Lovely surprise to get a glorious glass trophy for doing the half marathon too. Very special getting that)Date of review: August 22, 2011
In short: Lovely friendly race overlooking the river.In full: Small, but lovely race. Organised by a fellow runner, Kaja, who does a GREAT job, running as well as organising.I thought it might get boring doing laps, but in fact it was nice running up & down the river, because you could support each other as you passed by.Good view over the Mersey/docks. No time limit, so runners over 7 hours welcome.Super medal in box, & nice t-shirt.Totally flat PB course.Barry the Baton helped me get a PB of 5:24!I'll def be back for the new year races.Date of review: June 8, 2011

More than 50 years ago, Sen. Joe McCarthy waged a campaign of political intimidation that was so fundamentally unfair and un-American that we still use his name to describe abusive demagoguery. Today right-wing pundits, activists, and Republican Party officials are taking McCarthyism to new heights - or depths-and almost none of their fellow conservatives are speaking out against it.
The report lays out how the characteristics of McCarthyism are reflected in right-wing attacks on the Obama administration and its allies:
- Charging that America is threatened from within by "elites" who are willing to subvert America's interests
- Smearing political opponents as communists/socialists who are out to undermine America
- Using guilt by association to attack the patriotism and integrity of anyone who opposes you or your political goals
- Targeting gays as dangerous and unworthy of public service
- Impugning the integrity and patriotism of military leaders you disagree with
McCarthy was only able to do as much damage as he did - and ruin as many lives as he did - because too many other public officials who knew what he was doing was wrong were afraid to stand up to him. That's what's happening today. Republican Party officials who dare to criticize Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh end up apologizing with their tail between their legs.
"The Right Wing is clearly borrowing from Joseph McCarthy's playbook," said Michael B. Keegan, President of People For the American Way. "And the leaders of the GOP are attempting to gain political ground from its baseless smears and character attacks. Americans need to do to the new McCarthyism what they did to the old one: stand up to the lies and demand fairness, honesty and decency in our political discourse."

Topic: Use two models to make a list?
I have two tables in my database. One is Companies and the other is Cities. Each company has one city.
On the main page I want to list out company.name - company.address, city.name (and make the entire thing one link, if someone can help with that too)
So I was just kinda guessing at this, but can't figure out the answer. Anyway here's the wrong way.
def list
@page_title = "Companies"
@company_pages, @companies = paginate :companies, :per_page => 10
@company = Company.find(params[:id])
@city = City.find(@company.city_id)
and part of the list.rhtml:
<% for company in @companies %>
<%=h @company.name %> - <%=h @company.address %>, <%=h @city.name %>
Thanks as always

I was in awe when paul sang "all my loving". He was a certified hottie. When I got into the beatles, I started with "with the beatles"
and worked my way to the later albums. I picked up "please please me" somewhere in the middle. WTB will always be one of my favorites because it was basically my introduction to the fab four.[:)]

rdl wrote:i do like the sencha moe and would recommend it as well, but the chinese sencha the OP is referring to from upton is only $4.60 per 100g. chinese sencha i would think is manufactured by the chinese, but if the japanese borrowed and copied from china maybe today the chinese can make a decent japanese style sencha.
i am curious for the results that sencha said would be posted after the taste test.
sencha wrote:I did buy a sample of their Chinese sencha, but I also got some sencha and gyokuro from Japan, just to compare. I didn't spend much money, so if it turns out to be old/stale, that's okay.
What exactly makes a sencha a sencha? Do any steamed green teas qualify, or is there more to it than that?
After the fall of the Mongolian-ruled Yuan Dynasty in 1368, the custom of drinking tea in China shifted to drinking the infusions of whole, processed tea leaves that had been steeped in boiled water. Sometime during the late 1600s, these less elaborate "steeped tea" preferences of Chinese immigrants started to be adopted by Japanese tea enthusiasts, leading to the eventual spread of Sencha (literally translates as "boiled tea") throughout Japan. A little known fact is that another Japanese Tea Ceremony grew up around drinking sencha in the mid 18th century, known as Sencha-Do.
Sencha, a very popular Japanese tea, originally came from China. Historical records from the Three Kingdom Period (190-220) mention that tea was made using high temperature steam for short periods of time. The famous tea master, Lu Yu, wrote the first tea book during the Tang dynasty (618-907). In this book, Cha Jing, he wrote in detail about how to make Jian Cha...
The steaming technique keeps a lot of chlorophyll and amino acids in the tea leaves, so tea made in this way has a very unique character. Chinese people call it Three Green tea, because the dry tea leaves look like jade, the tea liquid is bright green, and the wet tea leaves are spring green. The flavor of steamed teas is grassy, while wok-fried teas are more floral or fruity. Chinese people prefer the wok-fried teas, but Japanese people continue to enjoy steamed teas for the feeling of walking in a springtime field...
Although Chinese people do not drink much Sencha, they produce the majority of Sencha for other countries

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (56 votes).
In short: Can get away with a lot because it's so quickIn full: The Abbey Dash is like a PB factory. If you've hit a bit of a plateau with times, this is sure to get you over whatever your hill is.. because there aren't any. There were some niggles, mostly the start pens which weren't sufficiently disaggregated. I think this probably makes returning runners lower their predicted time to avoid constant weaving through hopeful, but ultimately inevitably slower runners. This is understandable, but probably makes the situation even worse. No medal, no goody bag and poorly marked finish have been noted elsewhere and at the price it feels a bit steep for these to need to be addressed. Still, it's super quick, so whilst I wouldn't make it an annual thing, I'll definitely be back. Date of review: December 7, 2016
In short: Poorly organised for a race in its 30th year!In full: Most of what needs to be said can be found in the report from Tarantula. The toilet situation was very poor indeed. I was expecting a lot more as I had heard good things about the Abbey Dash. Not sure i will go again unless i'm hitting some decent form and its the only race around that suits.Date of review: November 18, 2015
In short: Expected this popular race to be a reasonable day out, but organisational failures made for disappointment.In full: Expected this popular race to be a reasonable day out, but organisational failures made for disappointment.Personally I feel a race with this size of field and cost deserves a medal (especially as it was the 30th anniversary race), but at least we knew there was no medal in advance, and it is a charity race (I'd prefer a medal to yet another t-shirt but I know that's just me). Also the organisers can't be blamed for the weather, but... - Bag drop. Maybe flimsy paper tags for bags on a rainy November day aren't a great idea? Despite there being some kind of system, the queue at the bag drop was excessive, especially at the start. This also made for delays getting to... - The toilets - why were there no urinals! People were still queueing for cubicles when the race was starting. Of course no-one wants to see runners weeing against local buildings or trees, but some obviously felt there was no other option, so the organisers must share the blame. - Uncertainty about the start time. For anyone a little way back there was no real indication of when the gun had gone. No countdown, and people still making their way to the start from the start pens. The pens for different pace groups were well laid out, so this was a shame. - The finish line was poorly signed, robbing many of a sprint finish. Apparently the weather meant the finish arch couldn't go up, but surely something could have been done? - Apparently the water at the halfway point ran out quite early on, leaving many without. I didn't witness this personally, but it's a schoolboy error for a race organiser and it's potentially dangerous. - The results took well over 24 hours to be released, and then they were a mess. People with results missing, people with multiple results. They have now been sorted out but there were no explanation for the delays and errors.I currently have no interest in doing this race again.Date of review: November 17, 2015
In short: Out and back 10k, mostly flat, good for a PB. Large number of entrants so a little cramped at the start. In aid of help the aged so the slightly steep price was worth it!Date of review: December 1, 2012
In short: Have run for many years and it's a race I will continue to put in the diary - brilliantIn full: A surprising couple of organisational glitches this year but still one of the best 10ks around. Date of review: November 21, 2012
In short: Poor organisation at the start, too narrow at the finishIn full: I was looking forward to this to get a new PB - which I did so was pleased. However at the start they were saying on the tannoy to get into the right timing slow but the bands for this were too small, and it was very hard to get through the barriers to start. It needed a good 100m for each 5 minute time band. If these were then printed on the numbers and checked it would have improved the situation. I started at sub55 (finished in 52:30) and was overtaking people for at least 4km. The water station at 5km would have been better if on both sides of the road so it would have been less congested, the briefing notes said there would be nectar energy gels as well but I didn't see any. At the end after the sliproad the course narrowed to 1 lane with traffic in the left hand lane. When I came through (just under 1h from the gun) it was very busy with lots of jostling for position and no space for a sprint finish. A good course that has maybe got a bit too popular and they have allowed too many applicants. Date of review: November 21, 2012
In short: It's for PBs not scenery but they dropped a bomb this year on organisation In full: Love this race for its PB potential which I achieved spectacularly. It's not a scenic race in any way. You don't really see much of the abbey. The one gripe I have this year is tried to get into the area next to the town hall to meet a mate but to solve the baggage queues they extended the fencing too far and I gave up after walking for ages without ever getting near to entering the area. Marshals around here were useless and didnt seem to know what they were doing to say the least. I got my M size t-shirt so can't comment on this. I got in the starting area at the last minute and ended up in the sub 35 part. Worried, being a 38min runner that I would be in the way of slightly faster runners but I passed around 50 slower runners in the first 1k with a lot of weaving and can't remember anyone passing me all race. I ran 37:42. People be realistic how fast you are. They must get back to previous years organisation. Date of review: November 21, 2012
In full: I got a P.B. so am over the moon.I run this race every year as it is a good cause and not far from home. However, the whole course seemed really congested this year so much so that I couldn't manage a sprint at the end which I love doing normally. Despite the announcer at the beginning repeatedly asking people to start in the correct starting areas this seemed to be largely ignored which made it necessary to do an awful lot of "weaving".As it stands I think that this race is at full capacity - if they allow anymore entrants it will not have P.B. potential which I believe is one of the main attractions of this race.I liked the techncial tee shirt this year and I would like to thank all of the volunteers who were marshalling etc as there was a definite nip in the air!!Date of review: November 20, 2012
In short: My first 10K, didnt have any problems. good atmosphere, almost completely flat. Only downside is the route isnt very scenic.Date of review: November 19, 2012
In short: Meggle please?In full: 4th go ate the abbey dash, first time I've got slower, but started a bit further back as the start area was full from well in advance of the race - was this also the warm up area or something?! Fair bit of weaving on the run itself, and the final run in is congested due to narrowing down to one lane.The finish area was very congested, lots of runners not really able to go anywhere, from other comments needs sorting and would rather have a medal than another "technical" t. Nice to get a for goodness shakes at the finish and a good near end of the year run in spite of some of the issues that seem to have crept in this year, but it has become a big run now with a lot of first timers.Date of review: November 19, 2012

Insufficient exercise may cause a puppy to become overweight, and can also contribute to poor behavior such as chewing or digging. Puppies have a lot of energy, and if owners don't help them release it, they turn to other, less adorable resources to let it out.
VCA reports that teaching a pup how to go for a walk is a great form of exercise and will give it access to countless new smells, sights and sounds that will also help it grow into an easygoing dog. First, get the dog accustomed to its collar and leash by showing it the new item and letting it smell and play with it. Next, try the leash on and give the dog a treat to show it that walking is a positive experience.
Although puppies do need to exercise, owners will want to make sure they don't overdo it. Different breeds require more or less physical activity, so owners will want to check with the dog's veterinarian to see what's best for their unique canine.

Firefighters Keep Grants Pass Area Grass Blaze Small
They've trained together and work well together, as evidenced by their work Wednesday in quenching a small grass fire in the 2400 block of Upper River Road. Mike Shaw, a spokesman for the Rural/Metro Fire Department says his department and firefighters from the Oregon Department of Forestry and Grants Pass Fire Rescue combined to quickly quench a grass fire.
Shaw says if conditions had been any different, or if it h been later in the fire season, the fire could have been "much worse." A total of 10 engines and 26 firefighters responded to the call that went out at 5:54 p.m. The final size of the fire was 1.3 acres.
There were no injuries and no structures were damaged. The fire was caused by a person discharging a firearm into an embankment possibly causing a spark from the ricochet.

The basic design set of silver dollars from the Republic of China includes images of: the founding President, Sun Yat-sen; the military general, Yuan Shih-kai; the warlord, Chu Yu-pu; and others. The only design that lacks the image of a person is the Pu-Yi Wedding dollar of 1923. This set of 16 silver dollar design type is rich in Chinese history and represents both a challenging and a rewarding collection. The "key" to this set is the extremely rare 1927 Chu Yu-pu dollar.

This picture is my great grandmother, Nellie Keith Martin, running one of the first switchboards in Southwestern Kansas. She was a young single mother trying to make her way in the world. Can you believe that chair? Oh, how her back must have hurt at the end of the day.
What wonders we have seen in our life time. Computers, cell phones, microwaves. We seem to take technology and new things for granted...our society accepts and even demands a constant array of new stuff.
I try to imagine what it was like to get the first telephone in your area. Or the first stove. Or sewing machine. Or electricity. We hear stories of people who wouldn't accept these "new-fangled contraptions" just like some of us don't have the latest iPod or tablet or mobile device or whatever...
Do you know any stories of your family embracing or ignoring new things?

From The Interobang.com :
With large followings in London and Berlin, chess boxing brings brains and brawn into one sport. Rounds of chess and boxing alternate until the match ends with six rounds of chess and five rounds of boxing until they win by points, knockout, or checkmate. Players wear closed-back headphones during the chess portion to avoid being distracted by the crowd but a couple of blows to the head. The sport is slowly gaining traction around the world and RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan has admitted being a fan and even recorded a song called 'Da Mystery of Chessboxin'. Can you get better praise than that?


text: Ron Guth: This is a great date because of the very low mintage of only 140,000 coins -- one of the smallest mintages in the entire Seated Liberty Half Dime series. Nonetheless, low-end circulated pieces are quite affordable. At the AU level, this date becomes quite pricey, and Mint State examples are quite elusive and valuable. PCGS has certified fewer than a dozen Mint State examples, most of which fall into the MS64 grade level. The strike on these coins is never 100% and most have a slightly mushy look, especially those struck from worn dies.

The Creators Project: Did you gradually become interested in your different creative outlets, or did you experience some sort of Eureka moment when you realized you wanted to do everything?
Trevor Jackson: I left college in the late 80s and went to work designing film posters for a guy for about six months. Around the same time the rave scene was blowing up, and I was going out raving almost every night. I discovered that most of these new records coming into the UK would get licensed to record labels and the covers they used were terrible, awful designs. I was fortunate enough to meet loads of DJs and lots of people making music. I would be dancing to a record on Saturday night and trying bag the job of designing the cover for it the next week.
How did that transition into a keen interest in hip-hop music?
I was too young to be a punk, so for me the DIY aesthetic came from hip-hop. I was very inspired by Keith Haring. It was groundbreaking, for me, to see a street artist's work in a major gallery. It all started to make sense. I could buy a little thing for my computer and start making beats although I couldn't play an instrument or read music. There was a rap crew around the corner from me called the Brotherhood. I started producing records for them. Then I started Bite It! It did well, and from that exposure I did remixes for Massive Attack. Before I knew it I was pretty involved in the burgeoning British hip-hop/trip-hop thing and doing stuff for Mo Wax. But after a while I got disheartened. I was growing up and most hip-hop was about sex and violence. The lyrics were getting quite banal. I got back into listening to the music that inspired me to make hip-hop in the first place. I decided that I wanted to start a label that for music that was kind of "out there" but accessible at the same time, which is why I started Output.
Can you tell us about your recent lifestyle change? It sounds like you did some serious spring-cleaning.
I had a dramatic change of lifestyle about eight months ago. I have lived in my apartment for almost 15 years, accumulating loads of really beautiful objects around me that I thought would help my life, but they actually ended up being a hindrance. I decided to move out of my flat and put everything in storage. I have been moving around the world, sleeping on people's sofas, bumming about, and trying to get re-inspired. In the last eight months I have lived in Berlin, Paris, Israel, and South Africa. I have been all over the world and it hasn't stopped me from working. The only limit I have is bandwidth.

Joan Powell Blog for July 10, 2008
July 10, 2008 * Yokohama, Japan * FIVB World Grand Prix
Dear Readers:
I wrote quite a lengthy journal on today's victory over Japan, but my entry is missing!! After such a great battle, I finished the story and took the jump drive out of my computer and proceeded toward the USA court. I wanted to get a photo of our #19 Foluke with the mascot, "Volley Boo" also donning #19. I did that, but must have left the drive amongst my things and it most likely got left behind on the floor.
Enjoy the picture and I will see if anyone turned in my missing archive.

Playhouses and play furniture are great for sparking kids' imaginations. When choosing a playhouses-furniture/4171_4173_86643'>playhouses-furniture/4171_4173_86643'>playhouse, consider your available space, your child's age and what they like to play.
Before buying a playhouse, make sure you have accurate measurements of your available yard space and check the dimensions of the playhouse. Keep in mind that you'll need space for any doors to open and that kids need space to move around and play outside the playhouse. You should also check the recommended age range listed on the package. Playhouses for older children will usually be larger and may also feature amenities like tables, chairs and play kitchens.
Playhouses also come in different designs that appeal to different personalities. If your child likes to play house, a rustic house with a table and chairs and a kitchenette might be most appropriate. If they like to play knights or princesses, choose a castle-themed playhouse.
For indoor use, consider a play tent. Play tents are usually easy to set up and take down and can be designed to look like houses, castles or cars or decorated with your kid's favorite cartoon characters.

Imagine a car where the only thing on the dashboard is an on/off switch. No speedometer, no tach, not even a gas gauge. Oh sure, it has a radio and a/c. It has navigation. It can do all sorts of things above and beyond just taking you places. But there's nothing on the dash to tell you anything about how it's running. It works. It does exactly what it was intended to do and it actually does it pretty well. And everyone has one. And, everyone can (more or less) fix them well enough to keep them running (most of the time). Sound familiar?
Now imagine this car is responsible for generating your income. Imagine you own a fleet of these cars and your business depends on them. Sometimes you take them in for servicing, but most of the time you'd really rather not have to. And with the economy the way it is, you only want to take them in when something's not working - like it won't go fast enough to get on the freeway or it doesn't turn right anymore (making 3 lefts does the same thing so you put up with it for a while). To cut costs, you'd do anything other than spend money on them. You basically drive them till they stop working (they're running, so shouldn't they just keep running?).
This scenario seems a little far fetched, right? Now replace the word "car" with "computer" and maybe you can see where I'm going. Driving a car without a dash is like running a network without a monitoring system. Literally. It's scary to say but probably 99% of businesses out there do this! They think that because this is the way it's always been, this is the way it should always be. When it breaks, call the computer guy. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's "fine".
Well, it's not fine. It's just an accident waiting to happen. The best computer guys in the world are still at the mercy of the laws of probability reacting to things over and over again till something major happens. And the reality is, something major will happen. Machines last between 3 and 4 years. Sure you can push them longer, but why do you think all major manufacturers (Dell, HP, IBM, etc.) limit their warranties to 36 months? Because their actuarial tables tell them their machines won't last longer than this! Statistically speaking, this means pushing machines past this point will almost always ensure some system failure. Now, if you have 3 servers on your network, you could be looking at a crash, on average, of one per year! Still want to drive without a dashboard?
When clients ask me what's the one thing that they could do that would be the most impactful way to use their IT dollars, without a doubt the answer is - implement a network monitoring system and start proactively managing your network. But you have to notice how this question is phrased. It's not, "how can we save money?" It's, "how can we better use our money?" Because, the reality is, you have to spend a little to save a lot. The ROI is there. But, it's all in how you view IT. You can't just think "save" (as in "not spend"). Because it will backfire on you.
So, the next time you're thinking of ways to cut costs, don't drive blind - add a monitoring system to your network.

—Sonia Sotomayor, in response to Sen. Klobuchar's (D-Minn.) question during yesterday's confirmation hearings for her nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court
Yesterday's Senate confirmation hearings for Sonia Sotomayor included a lighter moment where Sotomayor shared how growing up watching the TV show Perry Mason inspired her to pursue a legal career. As I listened to radio coverage of the hearings, I realized that being immersed in this week's program with Diane Winston helped me to hear this Perry Mason reference with new ears.
Yes, television can be cast as frivolous fare — a kind of cotton candy for the mind. But as Diane Winston emphasizes, television narratives are extremely powerful. They illuminate our collective social concerns. The characters we meet in the shows we come to cherish — as Sotomayor testifies — can sometimes inspire big life decisions about who we want to become in the world.
Television also serves as a touchstone and provides points of connection across different life experiences. Yesterday, newly seated Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.) shared how he grew up watching Perry Mason in suburban Minneapolis while Sotomayor took in the show from her home in the South Bronx. "And here you are today," Franken said.

Conservation Status
While the species as a whole is still very numerous, there is concern in Europe that widespread commercialization of beekeeping is endangering locally-adapted populations and subspecies. This, combined with higher mortality of colonies due to Varroa mite and tracheal mite infestations, and the recent phenomenon of Colony Collapse Disorder in North America, has cause significant concern for the health of the population. Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is a condition of commercial beehives, where there are sudden massive waves of mortality among the workers. Beekeepers discover their hives simply empty of workers, with so few surviving that they cannot tend the queen and brood. This condition has occurred mainly in North America, and mainly in large commercial apiaries. No single cause has been identified yet. (Adjare, 1990; Sammataro and Avitabile, 1998)

Renesas Electronics Corp. (former NEC Electronics) has announced the availability of its new SuperSpeed Universal Serial Bus (USB 3.0) host controller (part number µPD720200A), featuring 85% reduced power consumption compared to the company's existing host controller (part number µPD720200) when peripheral devices, such as mice, are not connected to the ports.
Supporting fast data transfer rates of up to 5Gb/s, the µPD720200A device achieves low power consumption of 50mW with no peripheral connection to the ports, reduced by 85% from the company's existing USB 3.0 host controller. According to Renesas, the new controller consumes up to 1W maximum when fully loaded. The new host controller also has the same footprint as the previous host controller, which makes it possible for system designers to accommodate their designs on the same board used for the previous device, the µPD720200. These advancements enable system designers to develop notebook PCs that boast longer battery life, yet maintain high data transfer rates.
The company also provides as a driver solution a USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) driver designed specifically to enhance the performance of the company's USB 3.0 host controller when used in appropriate applications.
Renesas has shipped an accumulated total around 9 million USB 3.0 controllers so far.
The company intends to market the new host controller chip aggressively and believes the new µPD720200A host controller will further promote the widespread use of USB 3.0 technology and also address today's rising demand for energy conservation.
Samples of Renesas Electronics' new µPD720200A host controller are currently available and are priced at $10 per unit, including the Windows device driver software. Mass production is expected to reach approximately 2 million units per month in October 2010 and is expected to be priced at $3 per unit.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Follow the Market Leaders
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's time to follow the market leaders into battle, Jim Cramer announced to "Mad Money" TV show viewers Thursday.
All it takes is a quick glance at the list of new highs to see the very best that American business has to offer, he said.
What are some of these great American companies? Cramer said Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is one. He said Warren Buffett's conglomerate has exposure to insurance, household brands and railroads, to name just a few. If Berkshire is hitting 52-week highs, he said, that's a green light to buy a host of other names in those sectors.
Boeing (BA) is another company on Cramer's list, albeit an unlikely one given a labor strike, exploding batteries, a strong dollar and government sequester. Yet, through it all, Boeing, continues to soar. That's great news for not only Boeing, said Cramer, but also for its suppliers and the airlines and the travel and leisure names as well.
Honeywell (HON) is also hitting new highs, said Cramer, and that's great news for aerospace, refining, safety equipment and climate controls, among other sectors. Then there are the new highs from consumer staples Colgate-Palmolive (CL) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) , signaling the consumer is alive a well.
In the banking sector, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) has emerged from the financial crisis as the blue-chip survivor, said Cramer, and its new highs signal great things coming in the financial and banking sectors.
Even Cisco (CSCO) is making new highs, as that embattled tech giant has redefined itself as the equipment provider for the backbone of the Internet and telco.
Follow all of these leaders, Cramer concluded, because they are in control of the markets.
Rising SunTrust
With the next round of government stress test results due out in just one week, Cramer said the time is now to get into shares of SunTrust Banks (STI) , a stock Cramer has been buying for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS.
Cramer called 2013 the "year of the regional banks," saying that with housing and employment on the mend, these now "lean and mean" regionals will be poised to prosper and, with the government's blessing, will be able to return those winnings to shareholders.
During the last round of bank stress tests, SunTrust failed to make the grade, but Cramer said the company has been aggressively working to better its balance sheet and lower its expenses by workforce reductions. It has also been growing its deposit base while making more money from increased mortgage activity throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, where it remains a dominant player. SunTrust delivered a four-cent-a-share earnings beat when it last reported.

*Under normal operation the cluster should be in a "stable" state and the configuration shouldn''t change. If your application is using short lived connections or a lot of connections from the same machine you are constantly requesting the server to give you the current configuration of the server. These are HTTP streaming requests which ns_server isn't implementing very efficiently (slow to set up and requires a fair amount of resources in ns_server). As an example it takes 18 seconds to connect 1000 clients on the loop back interface on my quad-core amd AMD machine with 4 GB memory.*
*The idea is to use a local cache in the file system on the clients so that the clients don't talk to ns_server unless there is an actual change in the cluster topology.*
