The Destination
For all the talk of its sugar-sand beaches and shimmering waters, Cancun's sizzling nightlife, world-class shopping, and anything-goes vibe has earned this long-time vacation destination some serious buzz. Located on the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula—just north of the Riviera Maya—this resort city borders the Caribbean Sea and revels in all the aquatic activities its warm waters have to offer. Whether you opt to score a suntan, study the Mayan ruins at nearby Chichén Itzá, or tequila-slam at an El Centro bar, Cancun truly offers something for everyone.
The Digs
All-inclusive indulgence is the name of the game at Sandos Cancun Luxury Experience Resort. With floor-to-ceiling windows offering stellar lagoon and ocean views from each Deluxe Room, you'll never be too far from the world down under. Unwind with an included bottle of bubbly in your room's sitting area or grab a drink from the mini-bar and flip on the flat-screen TV. Meals at the resort are an exercise in epicurean adventure. From the Caribbean-style seasonal menu at St. Trop to the "beach casual" atmosphere at Zango, your plate is filled to the brim with dining possibilities.
The Diversions
Gear up for an aquatic excursion with a few pointers during a snorkeling or scuba diving lesson. Or, for those who like to keep their head above water, the resort offers kayaking, sailing, and windsurfing—all surrounded by the Caribbean's stunning scenery. You'll switch from beach towels to lounge chairs when you visit one of the three sparkling infinity pools. Grab a cocktail and laze poolside, or visit the Spa del Mar for a 50-minute aromatic couples massage.

Hakeem Nicks was a surprise absentee from the New York Giants practice on Thursday. He was back on the field Friday and should be ready for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Saints.
Nicks was held out Thursday with knee soreness, The Star-Ledger reported, and the receiver continues to deal with pain from the sprained left MCL he suffered against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2.
Coach Tom Coughlin said Nicks was sidelined for precautionary reasons after playing in the last seven games. He's finally found some rhythm with quarterback Eli Manning, hauling in 19 of his 46 receptions over the past three games.

Meet the Cook: The idea for my recipe started with a food demonstration I didn't like. That version used things most people don't have on hand. So I decided to experiment, and out came Taco Tater Skins. We - my husband and I have a girl, 7, and a boy, 4 - make a meal out of these skins. But they're also great for parties as appetizers. (Have the recipe handy...you'll be asked for a copy!) -Phyllis Douglas, Fairview, Michigan
- 6 large russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 15 Jones Dairy Farm Dry-Aged Bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 3 green onions, chopped
- Salsa and/or sour cream, optional
- Bake potatoes at 375° for 1 hour or until tender. Reduce heat to 350°. When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes lengthwise into quarters. Scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-in. shell (save pulp for another use).
- Combine the butter and taco seasoning; brush over both sides of potato skins. Place skin side down on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese, bacon and onions.
- Bake for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve with salsa and/or sour cream if desired. Yield: 2 dozen.

"I have this recipe cut out from the Feb '99 CW and have been making it ever since. I use the whole potato (not just the skins) and make it a whole meal. If you use the microwave to "bake" the potatoes, or better yet, use a couple quarts of home canned ones, it's a super fast well-received supper."

<p>Vintage babes show off their beauty in fall foliage in these classic photoshoots of Playboy Playmates. </p>
Don't mourn the end of summer—bikini season may be over and sweater weather begun, but Playboy.com knows that every time of the year has its own unique beauty. And it's the beauties of autumns past, the Playmates of the fall, that we're featuring in this installment of Playboy Retro.
"When Autumn turns the leaves to gold, there are few sights more stimulating than that of a lovely girl framed by nature's glories." This line of poetry is the first line of the biography of Miss October 1960 Kathy Douglas, whose fine brunette looks are the perfect complement to the golden browns and long shadows of a California fall day. Her bio ends by telling us that Miss Douglas is a "latter-day wood nymph attuned so acutely to the autumnal symphony," so pack a picnic lunch and come get lost on the leaf-strewn trails with Kathy.
Now skip ahead a few years to join blonde wonder Mickey Winters in the country for a roll in the hay and an intimate walk through the landscape of rural Illinois. Mickey spent her nights working as a Bunny at the Chicago Playboy Club, but her days were for escapes away from big-city glamor. Saddle up and meet her for a horse ride; pull back and admire her tiny and perfect five-foot, 100-pound frame perched high on her favorite steed.
If this hasn't made you forget the beach yet, then the "opulently endowed October miss" of 1965, Allison Parks, will make you thankful for brisk nights which demand flames in the fireplace, a glass of strong cider and a soft lady who needs to be drawn in close. Allison is another outdoors girl and fitness fanatic; however, she's not entirely the down-to-earth type. Her true passion is flying high above it at the controls of a private plane. A "classically constructed" (36-24-36) strawberry blonde with gemstone blue-green eyes who has her pilot's license? She is literally a dream girl, one who you will see in your sleep tonight.
Take in the girls of fall and celebrate your new favorite time of the year.

I'm wondering if someone here has invented something that's an improvement on the usual 2 upright pieces of wood attached to the wiring board with the spool rotating on a bolt through the tops. Different methods of preventing the wire 'birdsnesting' would also be of interest. With photos if possible.

Emergency services
Earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, floods, storms and industrial accidents can claim human lives and cause serious damage to property all over the world.
The Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) aims to reinforce Europe's capacity to respond to emergency situations, be they caused by extreme weather, geophysical hazards such as earthquakes, manmade disasters such as oil spills and humanitarian crises.
EMS has been operational since April 2012 within GMES Initial Operations (GIO). It supports all phases of the emergency management cycle: preparedness, prevention, disaster risk reduction, emergency response and recovery. The service is provided free of charge and can be activated by authorised users such as national civil protection authorities.
The service can be provided in:
- 'rush' mode, for emergency management activities that require immediate response. This is available on a 24/7 basis and products are provided as soon as possible (from a few hours to a few days after the user request)
- 'non-rush' mode, to support activities that do not require immediate response, i.e. for prevention, preparedness, disaster risk reduction and recovery phases.
The service builds on a series of projects developed within the EC Framework Programmes 6 and 7 (FP6/FP7) and on ESA's GMES Service Element (GSE) projects such as Risk EOS, Respond and Terrafirma. The EMS service is partly based on the outcomes of the FP7 SAFER project and the GMES preparatory action linkER, which have been instrumental in developing the interfaces and procedures.
Terrafirma, in particular, produced terrain deformation services to a very large base of geoscience centres including geological surveys, risk management organisations and local users for different locations all over Europe. The services are based on the use of advanced spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry techniques along with optical imagery and geological information.
Other projects on-going in the FP7 explore the scope for downstream use in specialised areas, widening the range of the available Copernicus products.
The emergency services and projects are based on the provision of satellite imagery from contributing missions that are made available through the Space Component Data Access system operated by ESA since 2008.
In the future, the service will also be supported by the Sentinels. Sentinel-1 SAR imagery provides a major contribution for precise terrain deformation monitoring over landslide, seismic or subsidence areas by providing regular and frequent interferometric observations (every 12 days). It can also support impact assessment analyses for many types of hazard including hydro-meteorological and geological events by, for instance, providing rapid and wide-extent observations of plain flooding.
Wide swath Sentinel-2 data can support the buildup and frequent update of globally consistent background reference maps to be used for impact assessments. It will also contribute monitoring land-use change that triggers erosion, forest and wildfires, and slow onset floods. Sentinel-3, despite its relatively low-resolution, can complement activities where systematic monitoring is at stake (e.g. worldwide wildfire detection).
The EMS mapping service also collaborates with the International Charter Space and Major Disasters for major crises outside the EU area. An agreement has been set up to exploit the advanced crisis mapping capability of the EMS to support Charter requests pertinent to European policy sectors.

Diabetes FAQ
What is diabetes?
- Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles.
- Most people with diabetes have health problems -- or risk factors -- such as high blood pressure and cholesterol that increase the risk for heart disease and stroke. When combined with diabetes, these
- More than 65 percent of people with diabetes die from heart disease or stroke. With diabetes, heart attacks occur earlier in life and often result in death. By managing diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, people with diabetes can reduce their risk.
- Uncontrolled diabetes can result in loss of eyesight and limbs, kidney damage and heart disease.
Who is at risk for diabetes?
- Diabetes is a silent disease. You could have it for years and never know it. During this time, your eyes, nerves, and kidneys may have been harmed by too much sugar in your blood.
- The risk for diabetes increases as you get older, gain weight or if you are inactive.
- Diabetes is more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
What are risk factors for diabetes?
- High blood pressure (at or above 130/80)
- Family history of diabetes
- Diabetic during pregnancy or having a baby weighing more than nine pounds at birth
What are signs of diabetes
Most people with diabetes do not notice any symptoms. An estimated 6.2 million Americans are undiagnosed diabetics. If you have any of the following symptoms, contact your health care provider.
- Extreme thirst
- Frequent urination
- Weight loss without trying to lose weight
How can you lower your risk for diabetes?
- Keep your weight under control.
- Eat low-fat meals high in fruits, vegetables and whole-grains.
- Exercise most days of the week.

I am in the planning stages of a new 223 varmit build. The varmit II will be an all out attempt at out doing my previous build. I am starting to collect parts and think about how I want it. I bought a match grade, benchrest barrel in 1in 9 twist. This barrel is beautiflly machined it almost seems a shame to cut the threads off it. the thight chamber is possably going to cause feeding issues as well it will require neck turning of quality brass . I am going all out on this build. match barrel, heavy wall reciver, yugo trunion. heavyer scope mounts, milled drop out trigger group that is eaiser to adjust. possably a second trigger group that is set up for singleshot only in the 1 pound or less range the trigger group will also have larger more percisian pins, push button saftey, left hand charge handel so shell catcher wont hit or be in the way, longer mag well an custom mag so I can seat heavy bullets further out like the AR guys do in 1000 meter compition but mine will not have to be hand feed, aluminum float tube fore grip, adjustable muzzel brake (possably if accuracy will not be affected), aluminum gas block with stainless linner and a shut off, also looking at smaller, lighter firing pin posabilitys and a some way of reducing the lock time on the hammer as well. the stock is up in the air but I want a quick adjust rear rest on it and a way to add weight. I am thinking a custom dust cover that will allow easier removel with a even lower scope. I want to get the scope as low as possable to the barrel. it will be a while before it is done but I will post pics unlike the last build. I aqm posting this in the calibur conversion section because It will be on a 7.62x39 kit and parts. the bolt will be Kvar bulgy.
are there any threaded trunions for a stamped reciver out there avaliable??? was there even such a animal? was thinking a threaded barrel wold be a good idea as it will not have as much stress and tension on it. I am thinking of finding some place were this thing might be competive in a class against AR15,s. I dont compete in rifle shoots but might like to try. maybe 1000 meter or WHAT?? any compitition shooters out there. also looking at a 22 PPC barrel as well.

Fire destroys race car trailer at BIR
Fire destroyed a race car trailer in the infield of Brainerd International Raceway on Saturday, Aug. 31, during the time trials for the Lucas Oil Muscle Car Shootout.
No one was injured, but the trailer was a total loss.
Public safety and fire officials did not believe the cause to have been suspicious, and initially considered the source to have been electrical within the open and unoccupied trailer.
One safety official noted that there was a full 55-gallon fuel drum within the trailer and, fortunately for all, it did not ignite. On-site fire crews extinguished the blaze using water from a pumper truck on scene for the event.
The owners were not identified; however, their license plates were from Minnesota.

st: Simulatenous equation system with probit
Wed, 21 Mar 2007 15:48:03 +0000
Dear All
I am trying to estimate a simultaneous equation system in a panel data context. The model is the following:
Y1= a1 + b*Y2 + c*Y3 + d*X1 + u1
Y2= a2 + f*Y3 + g*X2 + u2
Y3= a3 + k*X3 + u3
Where Y1, Y2 and Y3 are the endogenous dependant variables and X1, X2 and X3 the exogenous variables.
Y1 and Y2 are continuous endogenous variables.
Besides Y3 is an endogenous binary (0-1) variable.
Is a recursive model but the var-cov matrix is not diagonal (I expect that u2 and u3 are contemporanoeus correlated (so it is not diagonal).
I have seen different ways to treat the last two equation: the Wooldridge procedure or the treatreg command.
Besides the cdsimeq of Omar Keshk is for a coefficient different of zero for Y2 in the Y3 equation.
In the case of the system estimation the reg3 procedure it will imply a linear estimation for the Y3 variable.
What do you think about this?? There is a way to transform the reg3 procedure in order to take into account a binary endogenous variable??
Or because only the last two equation have the endogeneity problem can I use a kind of Wooldridge´s procedure (first: run a probit of Y3 on all the exogenous variables of the system, including the exogenous in the first equation and run a linear regressions of Y2 on all the exogenous variables of the system including the exogenous of the first equation). And lastly run an xtivreg of Y2 on X2 and Y3hat)and a xtivreg of Y1 on Y2hat, Y3hat and X1.
Any assitance will be appreciated.

Les Petits Hommes - Le Trou Blanc
Born in Chenée, Pierre Seron studied fine arts at the Saint-Luc Institute in Liège. He worked as a decorator at the Liège Grand-Bazar, before entering the comics field. He started out assisting Dino Attanasio, Mittéï and Maurice Maréchal on their series, occasionally using the pseudonym Foal. After these apprenticeships, he presented his own comic series to the magazine Spirou, called 'Les Petits Hommes'. This series, about the inhabitants of a small village who are shrunk by a meteorite, was first published in Spirou in 1967.
cover illustrations for Spirou issues 2056 and 2135
Seron has worked on this series for over 40 years. Seron made the early installments with scriptwriter and journalist Albert Despréchins, but it was with the scripts of Mittéï (who used the pen name Hao) that the series matured. Since the 1980s Seron has written the scripts himself. From then on, Seron has done several graphic and storytelling experiments in his stories, such as a world with inverted colors ('Le Planète Ranxerox', 1985), a cross-over with a 'Scrameustache' album by Gos ('Le Pickpocket', 1985), a story set in several dimensions at the same time ('Voyage entre 2 Mondes', 1990), a cross-over with his own 'Aurore et Ulysse' series ('Le Vulcan d'Or', 1988), and a story set in a video game ('Duels', 1999).
Aurore et Ulysse meet Les Petits Hommes in 'Le Vulcan d'Or
In addition to his work on 'Les Petits Hommes', Seron used the pseudonym Foal again to create 'La Famille Foal' in Pif Gadget from 1973 to 1976. This series was collected in two books by Soleil Productions under the title 'La Famille Martin'. In 1978, he began a second series for Spirou, called 'Aurore et Ulysse'. This myhological comic about two centaurs ran until 1986, with several stories written by Stephen Desberg.
Aurore et Ulysse
Since 1999 Seron does a saucy variation of his main series for P&T Productions and Joker Editions, called 'Les Petites Femmes'. In 2008 he illustrated a volume in the series 'Les Fondus' by Hervé Richez and Christophe Cazenove for Bamboo publishers ('Les Fondus de la Pêche').

Over the past 11 years, we've built the geocaching.com website and other Groundspeak services based on both our vision and your feedback. It's been a wonderful combination and it's allowed us to find a balance between driving innovation and enhancing core functionality.
We value your feedback — and it's been instrumental in building geocaching to a point where there are now over 5M geocachers — and over 1.5M geocaches — worldwide.
About a year ago, we made a change to the manner in which we obtained feedback from you — our community. We closed a number of Groundspeak discussion forums and added links to UserVoice. We had big plans for UserVoice. It was to be the place for us to get ideas from the community, prioritize those ideas, and implement the ones that bubbled to the top. We hoped to extract and distill the ideas that had been stewing in the forums for years. We were excited and ready to go.
As geocaching continued to grow rapidly (both domestically and internationally), however, the addition of UserVoice created significant challenges for both Groundspeak and for the global Geocaching community.
On the Groundspeak front, we received ideas — many ideas. Almost 5,000 ideas were suggested for Geocaching.com alone in less than a year. This is both good and bad. It's good — in fact it's great — because we have a passionate community who cares deeply about geocaching. It's bad because, quite frankly there is no way that Groundspeak can realistically implement all — or even most — of these ideas. We are still a small company, with limited resources. We're not happy that we're limited in our ability to implement all your ideas, but unfortunately, it's our current reality.
On the community side, there is also good and bad. The good is that everyone has a voice — and can post an idea. The bad is that everyone who posts — or votes on — an idea has come to expect a prompt response from Groundspeak — and an ongoing conversation about their idea until it's implemented. Unfortunately, as a small company, we simply don't have the bandwidth to implement every good idea — or to participate actively in the dialog related to each idea. Again, as a small company, that's just not realistic for us.
And so we find ourselves in a position where we have limited resources to implement ideas, while at the same time trying to address the ongoing needs of an extremely active community and a highly trafficked web site, used by a rapidly expanding number of people, across an expanding number of countries.
As a result, we have decided to turn off UserVoice. This is not being done to avoid feedback, but rather because we believe there's a better way for us to receive feedback.
We feel that the dialogue in the Discussion Forum is an important component of understanding community feedback and from this point forward, we'd like to receive your feedback through that channel.
In the forums, the community can participate in a dialogue regarding a given topic and can discuss the pros and cons of the issues. Groundspeak can also participate in the topic and help identify issues, discuss resource constraints, and set expectations without having to formally 'accept or deny' an idea.
Our hope and expectation is that the dialogue in the forums will result in a clearer understanding of the issues, of their priorities and of Groundspeak's ability to take action.
We are reopening the feedback sections of Groundspeak Discussion Forums effective immediately. As we move forward, we will continue to listen to your ideas and to prioritize our projects through the forums — as well as through user surveys and focus groups. We believe that this change will allow us to direct our limited resources toward the right goal — toward improving the features and functionality of Groundspeak's products to better serve the global geocaching community.
In closing, we'd like to reiterate that we value your feedback — and that it's been instrumental in building geocaching to its current worldwide presence. We look forward to continuing to receive your feedback, to continuing our ongoing dialogue — and to working with you to improve geocaching on an ongoing basis.

So, last week I thought I will get a head start on January's blocks. . . then life happened I was in a car accident on Dec 23rd in the Wal-Mart parking lot (some OLD guy 95 yrs). Not hurt too bad sore neck, back, and head aches since then. I also woke up that morning with my eyelids glued shut! I washed the goop off and rinsed my eyes with visine and they seemed ok but by the end of the week my right eye was so swollen, red and had blisters on it that I went to the doctor they thought viral i.e a cold sore possibly shingles and gave me anti-viral medication. This did NOTHING to relieve the pain, swelling or the blisters. Two days later it's worse so I started taking the secondary medication antibiotics (that was Sunday) on Monday it finally started to get better although my eye lid does not look pretty as there are scabs on it. But at least the swelling and pain is mostly gone. Every once in a while I will get a stab of pain. So, maybe this weekend I will finally get started with January's blocks. Of course by then I might have the stomach flu as my 7yr old son woke you New Year's Day throwing up on my bed...Life LOL
Looking forward to seeing everyone's January blocks.
Oh my, you have had quite the time of it recently. I do hope that you are soon better. Things often come in three's, so chances are you will get the flu. What a way to start the new year.
I'm still behind, and life continues to be busy. I'm planning on a quilting retreat the end of January, so maybe I can catch up then.
Take care.

Now that all the naughty ladies have control of the earth, men are staging a revolt. They're doing this by not going to university, not marrying, and working in low-paid jobs. Some of them are refusing to work at all, in protest against the government's secret plan to give ALL the tax dollars to women.
That's the thesis of Male Strike: Society's War on Men, a new book that makes me want to stab my eyes out so I can never be tempted to even peek inside its pages, ever. Its author is men's rights activist and psychologist Dr Helen Smith, who calls this imaginary male revolt "Going Galt". (Inspired by the Ayn Rand novel Atlas Shrugged, in which a character by the name of John Galt leads an industrial strike against exploitation.)
Smith, who writes for ultra conservative blog network PJ Media, believes "The government and the politicians work in cahoots with women to extract money from men." And that this secret money pilfering has resulted in a "...whole political system based on women having special privileges, and the more privileges they have, the more entitled they feel." She says women consume 75 per cent of healthcare in the United States, treat fathers "like ATMS", and spend taxpayers' money on organisations staffed by activist women.
You'll need to read this 'article' - in which Smith is interviewed by fellow conservative Charlotte Hay - to fully get your head around the "male strike". In the meantime, just know "a man's rights go only as far as a woman's honesty." And that "men are discriminated against in ways that women can't understand ... One reason women promote the war on women is that many of these women have degrees in such things as women's studies and hold academic jobs." (Whaa? I don't know.)
Male Strike: Society's War on Men follows hot on the heels of recent literature about the rise of "perpetual adolescence" amid men in their 20s and 30s. In particular, a controversial book released last year called Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men into Boys. (You'll find an extract here.) In Manning up, author Kay Hymowitz claims women's rise in the knowledge economy has had an emasculating effect on young men, turning them into Peter Pans who now lag behind in all sectors of life.
But, "what Kay Hymowitz calls the perpetual adolescence of men is just men understanding that the cards are dealt against them," reckons Dr Smith, Chum of Men. Except she's hardly doing men any favours either, painting them as vindictive saps hell bent on self-sabotaging to avenge the world's women. Even if we have rearranged the "system" so Man Dollars fall in our harlot laps, as we swan about in search of ATMS. I mean men. Muhahahaha...

Pine River-Backus fourth graders bounce for good posture
Diane Norlin's Pine River-Backus fifth-grade class was the first grade in the school to try out a new ergonomic seating arrangement, stability balls, in 2008. What began as a sort of tentative experiment has proven to be a success, and today those stability balls and their health benefits have been passed on to Michelle Holden's fourth graders.
Today, there is still only one full class that constantly uses stability balls in the Pine River-Backus School. Just as Norlin's students underwent training in the use of the stability balls, Holden's students now go through almost a month of special training on how to properly sit on the stability balls and take care of them. In addition, the class learns about the history of stability balls and their benefits.
Holden suggests that this training not only helps them to understand the proper use and reason behind the stability balls, but it also invests them in their use, and encourages them to take care of them.
Students in Holden's class don't mind using the balls either. As a matter of fact, they seem to really like them better than traditional chairs.
"We sometimes have to sit in the chairs in music, but not every day," said student Dalanee Crawford. "Stability balls are better because they're fun and chairs are hard and when you sit down you get hurt."
"It makes our backs feel nice and also it helps us balance," said fourth grader Aurora Melby.
In addition, intentional misuse of the balls in class can result in an unheard of punishment, having to sit in a traditional chair for a set period of time, something which students do not seem to want. Students on the stability balls are allowed to bounce lightly during class, and occasionally get time to do special stretches and excercises in between lessons.
"Students are physically engaged as they sit on them. They help all students use their energy in a positive way," Holden said.
Some parents agree.
"I've seen a big difference in the kids. They were able to sit (for a) longer period of time, they stayed focused," said Barb Bumgarner, a paraprofessional and parent of Hunter Rice at PR-B. "My Hunter was in the class where they use them and he seems to be a little more focused. He's one of those wiggle-around kids and I think it probably helps him a lot."
According to Doctor Ronald Prouty of Pine River's Health First Chiropractic, stability balls can improve student posture by forcing them to sit up straighter than a traditional chair. This is because slouching on a stability ball can result in falling off of the stability ball.
"Sitting in a desk chair your lower back tends to sag back into the chair which is the opposite of what you really want," Prouty said. "You want that nice forward curvature to the lower back, which sitting on a ball like that does because it forces you to sit upright."
Prouty explained that proper posture is very important in young children.
"A saying I use with my patients is, 'as the twig is bent, so grows the tree.' Better posture when a child is young can prevent problems in the future like scoliosis and degenerative disk problems. Those all can be related to posture over time," he said.
Furthermore, stability balls have the added advantage of exercising core muscle groups through balance. These groups are sometimes not extensively used, but can help in athletics.
These stability balls were purchased from WittFitt using private donations earned through Boxtops for Education, as well as prize money from winning a library contest to decorate a scarecrow. Because not all students are the same size, each ball is assigned to a specific students to fit their needs. Since Norlin's first class, only one or two have been intentionally damaged. Students responsible were required to pay for replacements.
"The stability balls are more comfortable and also safer than chairs. I have encouraged other teachers to see about a classroom set of their own, but cost is an issue," Holden said. "I think they are especially important in the elementary classrooms since they are sized for each student. I am not sure how students who change classrooms would be able to manage switching from chairs to stability balls."

Jeanie..what an invitation! Even a place to park your RV. Quite a drive to get there I must admit. I love your blocks this week.
Mirabelle, you are a artisan/craftsman! What beautiful quilts. Did you use your EQ at all for designing or just let the quilt tell you what to do next? I do some of that but the results aren't always spectacular.
QuiltE...maybe you should ask your Janome dealer about stocking LA. Mine does here although I've never looked at them to see what kind they are. I know I don't have room for one so I'm not letting myself get the "wants".
I know that changing the plate back and forth from single to dual hole and attaching the walking foot is a nuisance. I know the Janome 7700 does it automatically so you might want to consider a larger upgrade if you stick with Janome, Carrie. It has a 11 inch harp. I do like my 6500 for the way it handles different threads, etc but I would love to have a 7700. But Mirabelle makes the Pfaff sound so good. That's the first electic machine my DM bought when I was a kid. It was a wonder after the treadle.

Hi guys, doing a little research into Zam parts. Now I saw a thread that listed them all, but it would be good to have a thread with all the parts listed with a ref photo and maybe a fan made costume piece and maybe a vendor or list of vendors (past and present?)
Then I thought it would be good for all of the characters on here. Also it would be a locked, sticky thread or maybe part of the wiki. With no posts between the items parts.
What do you all think, could we do it? It would be some work for one member, but if we all get together on this and do an item or two.

Famous Writer Calls for End to CSI/FBI Survey
A serious topic deserves a serious survey, says Ira Winkler, author of Spies Among Us. And the CSI/FBI Annual Survey is not it.
He concludes by writing:
For full story:
http://www.computerworld.com/action/art ... Id=9003640
The information security industry doesn't go more than a couple of weeks between the releases of surveys, most of which exist for marketing purposes rather than as reportage of major discoveries. Though venerable, the annual CSI/FBI Computer Crime & Security Survey is no exception -- and some of the claims it makes would, or should, stop a reasonable security pro in his tracks.
The survey is run by the San Francisco-based Computer Security Institute, which was founded in 1974. The survey began in the mid-1990s. In its early days, CSI got the FBI's Computer Intrusion Squad to co-sponsor its survey, providing a certain name cachet to a study by an organization with which few people were otherwise familiar.
While CSI offers useful training courses, education programs and major conferences, the organization feels compelled to keep conducting and releasing results from this poorly executed study. That's unfortunate, because a number of problems with the survey methodology compromise the credibility of an otherwise good organization.
The primary weakness of the CSI study is sample control -- that is, its sources aren't sound. The initial respondent pool is drawn from two sources: CSI membership rolls and the roster of paying attendees at its conferences and training events. CSI claims that it surveys 5,000 people, but that's simply how many surveys it sends out. One year, I personally received six of those 5,000 surveys, which are sent via both e-mail and snail mail; I can only imagine how many other people got. People who should be receiving the survey, for instance. I'm not one of those people, but still I get one or more copies every year. I could have easily made up data and return the survey to skew the results -- several times over.
Then you've got the response rate to that mailing of 5,000 people. By my calculations, except for one year, the response rate for the survey historically hovers around 10%. (This year's survey garnered 616 responses, or 12.32% of those solicited.) While this doesn't necessarily mean that the study is faulty per se, it does mean that there is an extremely high margin of error.
He concludes by writing:
While in the course of consulting, I might normally give people advice on how to apply a study or what messages to take away, my best advice in this case is reserved for CSI. At this point, the organization is only hurting its reputation with the survey as conducted. CSI needs to respect its audience and give us a report that incorporates proper survey techniques and accurate descriptions of the limits of its polling. Their results are so far from what the average member/subscriber/reader experiences on a regular basis or reads in every other source of information that it's just time to call the study quits and preserve CSI's otherwise good reputation.

Lithium levels, serum lithium levels, lithium blood test
This test measures and monitors the amount of lithium in your blood.
Lithium is a medication used to treat psychiatric illnesses such as bipolar disorders, acute mania, and other mood disorders. This test is used to find out the right dose for you if you're just starting lithium treatment and to make sure you continue to get the right amount for as long as you take this medication.
If you take too much lithium, it can cause more side effects. If you take too little, the drug might not help your condition.
You may have this test once or twice a week when you first start taking lithium to help your doctor figure out the best dose for you.
You may also have this test after you've been taking lithium for a while to see whether your dose needs to be adjusted. You may have this test again five to seven days after your dosage is changed.
You may also have this test if you have symptoms such as tremor, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea so your doctor knows if your symptoms are because your lithium level is too high or if you have other conditions that need to be treated.
Your doctor may also order tests that check how well your kidneys and other organs are working. This is because lithium is excreted through your kidneys; it's not metabolized. These tests may include:
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
Complete blood count
Thyroid function
Your doctor may also order a pregnancy test, because you shouldn't take lithium during the first three months of pregnancy.
Your doctor may also order other tests while you're taking lithium, to watch how your kidneys and thyroid are working:
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Results are given in milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). For lithium to be effective, your level should be between 0.6 and 1.2 mEq/L, but not more than 1.2 mEq/L.
Lithium has a very narrow range where it is effective and nontoxic. At a level of 1.2 mEq/L, lithium can start to cause problems.
If your levels are too high, you could get lithium poisoning and need treatment immediately. Too much lithium can be fatal. If your levels are too low, the drug may not help your condition.
Levels that are higher or lower may also mean you have cardiovascular or kidney disease.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Timing is important. Having the test 12 hours after your last dose of lithium gives the best results.
Certain medications can affect your results. These include:
Arthritis drugs
Dilantin, for epilepsy
Diuretics, or water pills
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, except aspirin
Cardiovascular medications, including angiotensin converting enzyme, or ACE, inhibitors and calcium channel blockers
Being dehydrated or a diet too high or low in salt can also affect your results.
You don't need to prepare for this test, but note the time you took your last dose of lithium. In addition, be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

Cool headed flight attendant to detail Hudson River emergency landing
BINGHAMTON, NY – Sheila Dail, a US Airways flight attendant, will discuss "What a Difference a Day Makes" at the Binghamton University Forum luncheon, Thursday, October 28. Lunch will begin at noon, with the formal program beginning at 12:30 p.m. This presentation will be held at Traditions at the Glen, Johnson City.
Thursday, January 15, 2009. What began as an ordinary workday for flight attendant Sheila Dail is now etched in her mind forever – as it is for the 150 passengers on board US Airways Flight 1549. When the two-engine commercial aircraft struck a flock of birds minutes after takeoff, pilot Chesley ("Sully") Sullenberger maneuvered the jetliner over New York City and safely landed it on the Hudson River. New York Governor David Paterson dubbed the extraordinary feat the "Miracle on Hudson."
When Sullenberger announced, "brace for impact because we're going down," Dail and her two fellow flight attendants remained calm and collected, and, with more than 92 years of professional experience among them, went immediately into rescue mode. These three courageous lifesavers helped evacuate all passengers without casualties.
In her talk, titled "What a Difference a Day Makes," Dail will share, her Flight 1549 experience and the effect the event has had on her life.
Dail has received numerous awards during her career, including the C.B. Lansing Heroism Award from the Association of Flight Attendants; and the ALPA Distinguished Crew Award and the Master's Medal, from the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators.
In addition, Dail received her bachelor's degree in early childhood education, graduating cum laude from Western Carolina University. She and her husband live in Asheville, N.C. and have four children.
The Binghamton University Forum serves business, professional and community leaders by bringing nationally known authorities to speak at functions throughout the year. For more information, call the Forum office at (607) 777-4390.

A Boutique Night in Gotham by the Bay
Cartwright Hotel Union Square • San Francisco, CA
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Room with One Queen Bed or Two Twins
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two in a Room with One King Bed and a Sofa Sleeper
- Book Up to Two Consecutive Nights
The Destination
There, in the thick of downtown—where high-end boutiques flourish, top-caliber dining is just an alley away, and citizens of the world coalesce in a cosmopolitan bustle—lies Union Square. But we aren't talking about New York. Here, in the country's second most densely populated city, San Francisco's Union Square one-ups the Big Apple with iconic cable cars, Canary Island date palms, and stunning views of downtown and the bay from atop the city's famous hills.
The Digs
Start your oh-so urban getaway at Cartwright Hotel Union Square in a leather chair next to the fireplace. Rooms are adorned with rich wood accents and a cream color palette, and they're outfitted with a FeatherBorne bed, a flat-screen TV, and a work desk. And the bathroom is stocked with luxurious Lather bath and body products.
The Diversions
Cabs in San Francisco aren't as plentiful as their New York counterparts, but who needs 'em when you're stationed in the middle of it all? Make reservations for dinner at Gitane, hidden in a narrow alleyway just off Union Square. Says Chronicle food critic Michael Bauer: It's "the most romantic getaway in the Bay Area." After dinner, catch a show at any number of nearby theaters, including SF Playhouse Theatre, Curran Theatre, and American Conservatory Theater are all within five blocks of the hotel.
In the morning, after brunch (at nearby Harry Denton's Starlight room if you're there on a Sunday—trust us), peruse the dozens of upscale shopping options on nearby Maiden Lane, from national scene-stealers like Christian Dior and Marc Jacobs to local stars like Azadeh.
If New York is the Big Apple, then San Francisco is the Big Grape. Squeeze the last drops out of your urban Escape with a tasting or two at Press Club on Market Street, home to a rotating coterie of vintners from around the Bay Area.

Can anyone help me.
I have this greebile (one the left), and have just seen this pic in the gallery.
Has anyone found what this part is or sell it?
As you can see from the pic the one i have is completely different to the original.

MOW makes a very accurate one. There are a few folks who know what it actually is, (I'm not one of em) but that info has not been disclosed yet.
thanks for that
Wow, everyone avoided this thread like the plague.
I can't really say for sure. I do not know what it is and I don't know anyone who does. Its on my list of current parts I'm searching for.
I'm just amazed that nobody offers up suggestions of what it might be. I guess most just sit back and wait while others do the work. Maybe the guys who aquired the picture will chime in.
From what I understand, it's a switch block (?)
not sure about it, but that's what I've heard.
From an old English made milling machine I heard...
Thanks all for the info.
much appreciated
This is the first ive seent his thread and pic.
I find it strange that people claim to know what things are, and dont offer it up, in an industry where everyone wants to make a name for themselves for discovering something.
So im gonna call shinanigans that anyone knows what it _actually_ is. And ill bet $100 that no one can come forward and show me the actual original part in its natural surroundings.
However, thanks, after seeing this pic, im going to create an acurate piece. Mine was just fabricated to look 'technical' but I see no reason we cant create something really acurate from thsi picture.
This is what I whipped up this morning out of revell parts.
Its not perfect, but I think its fairly close, and without spending a week digging through parts, which would mean my greeble kits will take longer to get out, this is what I have for now.
The webley + greeble thread for this, is in the boba fett costumes thread.
Stormrider looks close.
I believe it's a real shame if some one does know what it is and won't say.
it's the same as the ESB sidearm, someone had photo's so it could be identified and held back.
really hope it can be found.
I would like to thank the person who put this pic in the gallery "Carbon Chamber 20.png"
as i doesn't say.
Yah, the one I made isnt acurate. But it literally took me an hour to make, out of just parts I had laying around left over. I hadnt seen the pic above before, or I would have made it much closer, much sooner, but I dont have a lot of time left to get this project completed. So i guess it is what it is
Comment removed to keep the peace.

I cant BFS1. But im not a someone that puts 'credit' over 'progress'. I suppose its a different mindset.
But thats the great thing about really reading between the lines on the forums. THere are those that want to opress, and those that want to contribute.
Personally, when the guy refusing to row, says 'i want off the boat' I dont sweat it so much.
As i understand, one of the reasons some of the parts remain a secret is to allow people to afford said part. Some of the parts are "junk" and can be obtained fairly cheap but once they are publicly identified the price goes through the roof.
Well thats definately one good reason Ram!! Once a part is identified, everybody and anybody who is working on a replica Fett suit goes after said part...and there are alot of us these days...newb and veteran alike!!!!!
while I do think its important to share, I also understand why some folks might not be so willing to do so.
Hypothetical scenario here: If I were able to obtain some bit of information on a an unidentified part, that took me years to figure out, (and possibly alot of cash checking out possibilities,) I think I would be reluctant to share said information until I had at least one of the parts in question for myself. One thing that people tend to overlook, is that sometimes it takes many years of difficult and time consuming research to discover a part!!! Is it selfish to keep your mouth shut and go about searching until you've got the part???? I dunno???? If I've worked for years to discover a part, and am very close to discovering it, should I announce it and let the vultures swoop in and get said part before I have a chance to get one for myself??? Again..I dunno??? I guess everybody has thier opinions on that, but there are alot of folks who do that!!!! Right, wrong, or indifferent, the information does always come to light eventually, which in the long run, benifits us all!!! While we might not all be able to get the actuall parts for the suit, most of us end up getting very accurate casts of discoverd parts later on down the road, (which is IMO pretty dang acceptable) Patience is the key!!
One thing to keep in mind...sooner or later, we will collectively have this suit completely figured out!!! With the way things have been going over the last few years, it won't be long before we've got it nailed. We've all been working on this dang thing for years, but soon, all the nfo will be out there for folks to build thier suit. Again..it just takes a bit of patience.
BTW: I would just like to add, that for the folks who have been so generous with thier info up till now, a huge thankyou!!!!!

Jango's kid, I like your Hypothetical scenario.
I can understand that if someone had spent a lot of time and money on this to not give it up straight away, really I can, but would it not be great kudos for said person to have his / her name attached to the find?
The cynic in me thinks that "well if I have it and on one else does thats fine by me" the mines more accurate than yours scenario.
As a newbie here I dont have the resources that some members have here, so I'm very grateful for all the contributions that people have made over the years. if they weren't here I wouldn't know where to start to find specific parts.
Also isnt it everyones goal here to have a costume that's as accurate a possible?
I agree with "sooner or later, we will collectively have this suit completely figured out!!!
I just hope it's not too far into the future.
I guess Ill be patient until them.
And when the energy, drug, or military does said 'hording' its blasphemy.
Some of the logic is sound, and even justifiable, however, the flip side is, if someone says what it is and one can be found, 1st generation copies can be made, making the part NOT worth as much. Because generally, the part has to be modified or destroyed.
At one point grafflex tubes were 300-500 bucks. But now that there are copies, widespread knowledge, and LESS tubes, they have fallen back to about 100-130, which is what they were worth before it was widely known to be a lightsaber.
Anyway, ill be done with this thread, thanks spidey for posting the original pic of this.
It was mentioned that it could be a Myford Lathe switch box, either the 'on/off' push button or a 'forward/reverse' switch box. However searching through Myford switches hasn't turned up anything close.
I drew up a ruff cartoon of what I am interpreting of the B/W photo
