A bicuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve that only has two leaflets, instead of three.
The aortic valve regulates blood flow from the heart into the aorta, the major blood vessel that brings blood to the body.
Bicommissural aortic valve
The aortic valve allows oxygen-rich blood to flow from the heart to the aorta. It prevents the blood from flowing back from the aorta into the heart when the pumping chamber relaxes.
Bicuspid aortic valve is present at birth (congenital). An abnormal aortic valve develops during the early weeks of pregnancy, when the baby's heart develops. The cause of this problem is unclear, but it is the most common congenital heart disease. It often runs in families.
The bicuspid aortic valve may not be completely effective at stopping blood from leaking back into the heart. This is called aortic regurgitation. The aortic valve may also become stiff and not open up as well, causing the heart to have to pump harder than usual to get blood past the valve (aortic stenosis). The aorta may become enlarged with this condition.
This condition is more common among males than females.
A bicuspid aortic valve often exists in babies with coarctation of the aorta and other diseases in which there is a blockage to blood flow on the left side of the heart.
Most of the time, bicuspid aortic valve is not diagnosed in infants or children because it causes no symptoms. However, the abnormal valve can leak or become narrow.
Symptoms of such complications may include:
If a baby has other congenital heart problems, they may cause symptoms that will lead to the discovery of a bicuspid aortic valve.
Signs of a bicuspid aortic valve may include:
Tests that may show a bicuspid aortic valve include:
If the health care provider suspects complications or additional heart defects, other tests may include:
The infant or child may need surgery to repair a leaky or narrowed valve, if complications are severe.
A narrowed valve can also be opened through cardiac catheterization. A fine tube (catheter) is directed to the heart and into the narrow opening of the aortic valve. A balloon attached to the end of the tube is inflated, to make the opening of the valve larger.
Medicine may be needed to relieve symptoms or prevent complications.
Medications may include:
How well the baby does depends on whether complications of bicuspid aortic valve are present, and how severe they are.
The presence of other physical problems at birth also can affect how well a baby does.
Most babies with this condition have no symptoms, and the problem is not diagnosed until they are adults. Some people never find out that they have this problem.
Complications of bicuspid aortic valve include:
Call your health care provider if your baby:
Bicuspid aortic valves run in families. If you know of this condition in your family, speak to your health care provider before becoming pregnant. There is no known way to prevent the condition.

FSLR Falls 7%: Q2 Misses, Cuts Year View; GE Takes Stake
Shares of solar energy technology provider First Solar (FSLR) are down $3.24, or almost 7%, at $43.51, after the company this afternoon reported Q2 revenue and profit per share that substantially missed analysts' estimates, and cut its full-year projection below consensus.
Revenue in the three months ended in June fell 46%, year over year, to $520 million, yielding EPS of 39 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $729.7 million and 56 cents.
The company noted that it had not completed the sale of it s "ABW" projects during the quarter, something it had indicated was a possibility. That sale is expected in the second half of the year, it said.
The company said the decline in sales was the result of lower "systems business project revenue":
The sequential decrease in earnings was primarily due to lower revenue recognition for AVSR and lower sales volumes to third-party module-only customers in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. The year over year decrease in earnings was primarily due to lower systems business revenue recognition, partially offset by higher manufacturing utilization and higher module sales to third-party customers in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012.
For the full year, the company cut its outlook to revenue in a range of $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion, down from a prior $3.8 billion to $4 billion, and cut its EPS outlook to a range of $3.75 to $4.25 per share from a prior range of $4 to $4.50. That is below the consensus for $3.83 billion and $4.17.
In explaining the reduction in outlook, First Solar cited a plan to hold onto projects longer than expected, and also higher operating expenses:
A reduction in expected net sales associated with the decision to hold two system projects through construction and selling such projects after construction is completed, which action is expected to result in improved project economics, (2) incremental cost at AVSR due to delays related to the county approval process for materials used in construction, partially offset by an improvement in gross margin due to better than expected project economics for ABW, Campo Verde and Imperial Valley, (3) the impact of expected higher operating expenses associated with the newly announced GE technology partnership and (4) the per-share impact associated with the June 18, 2013 closing of the equity offering of 9,747,000 common shares and the impact of the issuance of 1,750,000 common shares to GE as part of the aforementioned IP acquisition.
Separately, the company announced a partnership with General Electric (GE) to develop solar cells based on First Solar's "thin film" technology. The deal includes the purchase by First Solar of GE's own cadmium telluride patent portfolio, in return for 1.75 million shares of First Solar stock, or 1.8% of First Solar's 96.7 million shares outstanding. GE will hold the shares for at least three years, the companies said.
First Solar management will host a conference call with analysts at 4:30 pm, Eastern time, this evening, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor relations Web site.
First Solar's report follows a report last Wednesday by SunPower (SPWR) of Q2 revenue and profit that topped analysts' expectations, and an increase in the year forecast.
The company's report seems to be pushing down SunPower and a lot of other names this evening. SunPower shares are off 70 cents, or almost 3%, at $23.25 in late trading. Trina Solar (TSL) is down 15 cents, or 2%, at $7.15, LDK Solar (LDK) is off 6 cents, or 4%, at $1.48, and JA Solar Holdings (JASO) is down 19 cents, or 2.2%, at $8.55.

Hi guys,
I need to make 160 FD supers for the up coming season. I have two opptions: buy the supers as KD packs and assemble them as normal or buy the rough saw lumber, run it though a thicknesser, cut the rabbet joints and hand holds and then assemble.
Some of you blokes have suggested (in another post) to use a dado blade to cut the rabbets.
I was thinking about using a router table to do this but am unsure as to the best way of cutting out the hand holds.
I use 7x50mm galvanized flat head nails per corner,(28 of them per box) during the assembly of each super. That means 4,500 nails for assembling the 160 supers.
Next year I want to make 400 supers and that means 12,000 nails !! As you can see I need a nail gun any thoughts on what type of nail/ length/ gun combo that would do the job?
I don't have any experience with these things and would appreciate your ideas and input.
Thanks in advance.....jim

This article, entitled "What to Check for When Buying Used Clothing," comes from partner site 719woman.com.
Besides the obvious rips and stains to look out for, here's a few more tips on what to check for when buying used (or new) clothing for your infant or toddler.
Tight elastic - Check the elastic bands at the arms, legs, neck or waist which can irritate sensitive skin and cut off the circulation. Tug on each area and see how much pull it has.
Seams and scratchiness - Seams, zippers, snaps and decorative appliques can have rough or uneven backings, which can scratch. Turn the outfit inside out and run your hands along the seams or on the back of the snaps or zippers to check that they're even and lie smooth and/or don't have rough edges.
Choking hazards – Snaps, buttons and sequins can pose possible choking hazards if loose. Give them a quick tug to make sure they are on nice and tight. You should do this after each washing too, even with new clothing.
Fabric - All cotton knits can shrink 10% after the first washing so don't always buy just based on the tag size. Polyester/cotton blends are usually less expensive and don't wrinkle (a must for me because I don't like to iron!). Really thin fabrics are going to be the least durable so don't expect a lot of wear.
As with new clothing, you'll want to ALWAYS wash items before putting them on your child.

Where I stayed
Slowing ourselves down has really helped us go longer while feeling like we are riding less.
Today we entered the Czech Republic and found out that the roads are not as nice and little towns are run down. It's interesting the change. Everything is much cheaper here as well. We find ourselves dodging potholes more and eating out more. However so far I have taken less pictures. Tonight we camped at this weird, seemingly abandoned hotel. After we ride miles out of our way to get there this lady tells me in broken few words and mostly hand gestures that we can't stay there it's only for people of an association. I'm not sure if it was my puppy dog eyes or my deadly looks but in the end she let us camp out back. It was kinda weird because we were the only ones there.

I came home this afternoon after a really crappy day at work, dealing with the public that does not appreciate anything you do it seems anymore. It was really nice today, in the 50's. But around 3:30, it clouded up and cooled off quickly.
I walked down to my struggling hive, the only one I have. There were bees scattered around on it, lifeless. The quick cooldown had caught the fliers out and they were chilled coming back in. They had made it to the hive, but were just sitting there lifeless.
I picked one up and sit it on the palm of my hand. A leg wiggled. An antenna twitched. The warmth of my hand was reviving her. Her butt started pumping.
I began collecting several more around the hive and placing them on the palm of the hand. I noticed the first one was moving good and had dropped her stinger out. "Cmon girl, don't sting the hand that brings you back to life" I thought to myself. The others were starting to come around also. That first one buzzed a few times and even come up into a defensive posture, butt in the air. But as the others started warming up and started moving around the first, she calmed down.
I picked up a twig and let her walk onto it, then guided her into the top entrance of the hive. My hive has a Kelley plastic cover that lets light in and I could see in the top entrance hole as she walked over the top cover and joined the clutch of other bees. The rest revived and made the same trip, fully revived and back safe and sound. A few of them were carrying baskets of something, maybe pollen from my hazelnut bushes.
I don't know how many were out and did not make it back to the hive today. But I felt better that I saved a few. And, I felt a little better about the day. The simple warmth of my hand brought them around.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment is great. It is quiet, it is big enough, it is clean, it is in the middle of Istanbul, it has fair prices; in it you have everything you need and the host is very welcoming. I'd recommend this flat to anyone who visits Istanbul.
Apartment very well located, 5 min. the central part of Istilklá 7 min Galata Tower and 10 tram. Clean, comfortable, although the building is old and the stairs just maintained, the apartment is renovated. The only drawback in winter is that the bathroom has no heating, ordered a small electric heater for the bathroom but did not have. Both the owner and the clerk very friendly. Only speak Turkish and used English, but we understood each other very well.
Apartamento muy bien ubicado, a 5 min. la parte central de Istilklá 7 min de la torre de Gálata y 10 del tranvía.
Limpio, cómodo, aunque el edificio es viejo y las escaleras poco cuidadas, el apartamento está renovado.
El único inconveniente en invierno es que el baño no tiene calefacción, pedimos una pequeña estufa eléctrica para el baño pero no tenían.
Tanto la propietaria como la empleada muy amables. Sólo hablan turco y la empleada inglés, pero nos entendimos muy bien.
Very friendly host, most accommodating to my last minute booking and felt like home when I was there, felt safe and very cosy. Definately would recommend, this was my first time in Istanbul and I would stay here again.
Everything was within walking distance. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The hotel met our expectations. Everything you could need was available. Thank you. K.Juntke
Alles war zu Fuss zu erreichen.
Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft entsprach unseren Vorstellungen. Alles, was man braucht, war vorhanden.
Danke. K.Juntke
great location, close to taksim square and istillak caddeski. The house is new is equipped with all the comforts, the only flaw is on the 3rd floor with no lift, but it is absolutely worth it. There are around food, tobacco shops, pastry and oven will not miss anything. The owners are very helpful and easy to reach.
ottima posizione, vicinissimo a piazza taksim e a istillak caddeski. La casa è nuova è dotata di tutti i comfort, l'unica pecca è al 3 piano senza ascensore, ma ne vale assolutamente la pena. intorno ci sono alimentari, tabacchini, pasticceria e forno non vi mancherà nulla. I proprietari sono molto disponibili e facilmente raggiungibili.
Overnight accommodations in the Wimdu allows for better integration with the resident population compared to a hotel stay, and also cheaper. The hosts are very hard to please guests. The downside is the high commission of 15%!
Die Übernachtung in WIMDU-Unterkünfte ermöglicht eine bessere Einbindung in die Wohnbevölkerung gegenüber einem Hotelaufenthalt und zudem preiswerter. Die Gastgeber sind sehr bemüht Gäste zufriedenzustellen. Der Nachteil ist die hohe Vermittlungsprovision von 15 %!
Thanks a lot Erdal for your hospitality. You are very friendly and good host. That was very nice to stay at Istanbul in your apartment. Sure we will stay in your apartment in Istanbul when we come back there again.
Warm regards, Irina and my family:))
pleasant apartment, very well located (10 minutes from İstiklal Street). Very clean and with all amenities (kitchen very complete, baby equipment) we had a very good stay, although the noise from the street was fairly certain this night. Istanbul is a vibrant city, and I think it's the same everywhere ...
appartement agreable, tres bien placé (à 10min de la rue İstiklal).
Tres propre et avec toutes les commodités (cuisine tres complete, equipement bébé); nous y avons passé un tres bon sejour, meme si le bruit dans la rue etait assez present certains soirs. Istanbul est une ville vivante, et je pense que c'est partout pareil...
It's an appartment 5min from Istiklal ave, clean, not too small and we had a good welcome. We appreciated the washing machine, the kitchen and especially the material for our baby (bed, basin ans chair).
Die Unterkunft hat kein Fenster. Sie ist ok. Sehr sauber war sie nämlich nicht. Der Boden war immer noch dreckig. Jedoch war die Toilette sehr sauber und modern.

Where I am in NY, you're not supposed to shoot within 500 feet of a dwelling without the owner's permission. Where I grew up, we backed up on some state land as well as a lot of undeveloped but privately owned woodlands. It was just kind of expected that you didn't play in the woods during deer season.
I'd be more concerned whether the hunters were smart enough to know where their missed shots were going. Where they shot the deer wouldn't bother me as much.

I see alot of earwig bugs in on the top and on the bottom board of my hives. The bees don't really pay attention to them. Are the something to be concerned about?
I see alot of earwig bugs in on the top and on the bottom board of my hives. The bees don't really pay attention to them. Are the something to be concerned about?
You don't need to be concerned about the earwigs doing any damage to the bees or the hive. Earwigs feed on plant tissues (so I suppose they might eat a little pollen if they found it), and often seek refuge in cracks, under objects, in objects, etc. The earwigs are most likely just hiding in the hives.
Earwigs can damage plants, especially if populations of earwigs get exceptionally high. If you're trying to raise lettuce, for example, large numbers of earwigs might do a fair amount of damage to your lettuce plants; then you might need to be concerned about the earwigs.
They can also pinch if you don't see them and get too close(particularly the males with the large pincers). Most eat decaying vegetable matter, however, a few species a predaceous(but not toward the bees). They're nocturnal and hide in cracks and crevices in daylight hours.
Janice Lane . . .
Check the earwig info in this book:
BEEKEEPING: A PRACTICAL GUIDE, Richard E. Bonney, 1993.
See page 158.
Thanks for the info!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Janice, but I strongly disagree with those that say that Earwigs are nothing to be concerned over.
I have posted previously about my fight with Earwigs in my hives, search and you will find...
I have witnessed Earwigs burrowing through brood comb, and have found many a live bee, freshly emerging from it's cell with an Earwig lodged in it's abdomen. They will predominantly prey upon weak nucs, and scavenge freshly laid eggs outside of the main cluster area.
I have fewer problems with Earwigs in those colonies kept in full sun.
Hmmm. . . interesting stuff here. I've had to do some extra research on earwigs (Dermaptera), since I hadn't bothered much with them before. Turns out, both might be correct. Earwigs might not cause any problems for bees. Earwigs might cause problems for bees. It all seems to depend on the species of earwig.
The species that seems to be most common in most of the U.S. is the European earwig, Forficula auricularia. These earwigs are vegetarian, and, therefore, are unlikely to damage bees.
Another fairly common species in the U.S. is the ringlegged earwig, Euboriellia annulipes. These earwigs are omnivorous, and will eat almost any arthropod they can catch as well as eating plant materials. Obviously, these earwigs can kill bees in hives.
In the Great Plains, I've only encountered the ringlegged earwig once, and I never bothered to learn much about them. The European earwigs are fairly common, but I've never seen any in my bee hives. I just assumed (which I shouldn't have) that the earwigs seen in bee hives were the European earwigs.
Phoenix or Janice Lane, if you'd like to send me some specimens of the earwigs you find in your hives, I'd be interested in seeing them and identifying them for you. Identifications might give you a better indication whether or not the earwigs in your hives are likely to cause problems (although, Phoenix, in your case, the identification would simply be to put a name with a "face," so to speak, since you've already determined the earwigs are causing problems). PM me if you'd be interested in sending some samples to me for verification.
Sure Kieck, I'll send you some samples.
You have a PM.

Goleta Beach Erosion Plan Becomes Political Sand Storm
Solution dispute now a campaign issue
GOLETA, Calif. - Long term erosion issues at Goleta Beach Park have made their way into the political arena for the upcoming Santa Barbara County Supervisors race.
Goleta City Councilman Roger Acevas claims a plan supported by Supervisor Janet Wolf, who is running for reelection, would allow the beach, park, children's area, and parking lot to be destroyed.
Wolf said the way Acevas presented his concern was "political theater." She said her positions will be developed from the county's studies and facts. Nearby were two large reports on Goleta Beach, and an analysis of the erosion control options.
Acevas said if the county allows the ocean to batter the coast without protections, "the park is gone. Two parking lots with 107 parking spaces are gone. Our children's play area are gone. A million and a half people use this park a year."
Goleta Beach does have rock boulders in different areas to protect the park, but they have not been officially permitted by the Coastal Commission. The county wants to make sure it has the most acceptable plan, which may include the boulders, before it returns to the state with its position.
Some environmental groups say boulders divert the ocean energy and harm the beach in other areas.
Dave Hardy, with the Beachside Bar Cafe, said rock boulders protected his restaurant during the last storm, although waves went over the rocks and damaged some of the building. He said without the boulders the structure would have sustained massive damage.
Wolf says the county has heard from several different groups and local citizens about the park issues, ranging from longtime residents and families, to the City of Santa Barbara which operates the nearby airport.
There's no clear answer that has been implemented and tested over many years of winter storms.
Currently the beach is about a five foot drop off from the park in some areas, and the county has plowed access walkways for the public to get to the waterfront easily.
An orange fencing is up as a warning to visitors about the cliff.
Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting on the issue begins at 1:30 p.m.

I'll be honest with you - I cried. Two or three salty little droplets squeezed from my 36-year-old tear ducts as the New Zealand cricket team embraced like first-time ecstasy users after their first series win in South Africa.
Not that it's difficult to make me cry. I often cry singing the national anthem. I cried when I saw Paul Holmes receiving his knighthood, and I sometimes cry on first sight of Auckland's green murk from a plane window after a long stint overseas.
After the dust had settled from the Kimberley game I ventured outside to sample the neighbourhood mood and came across a Samoan funeral cortege departing from their home in Hakanoa St. I welled-up as the distraught family gently slid the casket of their loved one into the back of a black hearse and then hopped into a Previa van with gothic writing saying "da boss" on the back to follow. Five teardrops in one day. Something was clearly not right.
Wandering streets of over-priced villas and late-model Audis, I found myself getting angry at the sudden change of New Zealand cricket narrative from gutless national embarrassments to world-beating heroes. This wasn't part of the story arc. Our game's in turmoil. We're supposed to be international easy-beats.
Who's to blame for this appalling reversal of form?
Naturally, the first place I went for answers was New Zealand's bastion of sporting common sense, Radio Sport. I happened upon midday host and celebrity boxer Mark Whatshisface, whose cricketing knowledge has been likened to a cross between Snooki's and Colmes' from Fox News' Hannity and Colmes.
Whatshisface wasn't getting carried away with the historic series win - far from it - he suggested the team stop celebrating and have an early night ready for training tomorrow. According to him, winning only served as a diversion to the fundamental flaws which New Zealand cricket faces. So if winning wasn't good enough - what was?
Maybe the print media had the answers? I reread the Herald's series entitled The Blame Game looking for something to pin our success to but couldn't link identifying Pacific Island talent with any moment in the games from either Paarl, Kimberley or the other place.
It's a well-known fact that New Zealand Cricket's administration has been run by muppets since Chris Doig left, surely they're to blame somehow? David White texted Brendon McCullum and Mike Hesson before the game in Kimberley to wish them luck. Nobody knows whether he used proper grammar or text speak but that text may have been the reason we won.
Or maybe the win came from higher up? Chris Moller is regarded as being politically savvy. Did he engineer the series victory from the boardroom table perhaps?
How about the Hesson v Wright narrative that's been getting some carbon dioxide on talkback recently. Former coach John Wright is old-school, he glued a glove on to his bat handle in the 80s and tells a good yarn - every cricketer understands how that helps you bowl tidily during the batting powerplay. Was it his doing/non-doing?
Indian bookmakers? The killer of the National Bank horse? I was running out of things to blame. So I watched the highlights of all three games again hoping to find something I'd missed the first time.
After three hours of considered viewing I found the culprits. Kane Williamson with his amazing 145, Kyle Mills' experience, Martin Guptill with his sensational fielding and James Franklin with his Antonie Dixon eyes.
A couple of superb batting performances, some solid partnerships, plus three or four pieces of great out-cricket under pressure is all it takes to go from shocking embarrassments to national heroes.
The future all of a sudden looks a whole lot brighter again. Or is our optimism symptomatic of a much deeper problem?

75th Anniversary
When Boors Drive Cars
September 12th, 2011
A classic Catholic Digest article from 1954
Photo from Photos.com
"Road Rage." We read about it all the time. The term bespeaks our stressed-out lives as commuters living with an endless nightmare of bumper-to-bumper traffic, and taking out our hair-trigger anger on any driver or pedestrian who gets in our way.
These days road rage is a favorite subject of many critics of our modern society — they seem to believe that the increase in angry drivers reflects the loss of a kinder, gentler, more polite and religious age that is quickly being replaced by a barbarian horde of angry, selfish, narcissists. Remember back to the days when people were well-mannered and nobody had heard of road rage?
Actually most of us can remember a time before "road rage," because the term seems to have been coined in 1988. Its usage grew slowly the first few years, but then exploded into our media consciousness. Soon we were hearing about it everywhere, giving us the impression that road rage was both a new and a rapidly growing problem.
But as this classic article from 1954 reminds us, road rage was with us long before the term appeared. It's been a major problem since the invention of the automobile and has probably been with us since the days of the first oxcarts. And we don't need a modern term like "road rage" to recognize ourselves, or someone we know, in the behavior described here.
So here from June 1954 is "When Boors Drive Cars."

What is the political purpose of a 94507 MAC?
Original post made by Community courtesy, another community, on May 26, 2009
After a long week's review of Contra Costa County District 3 proposal for formation of a new county agency in 94507 to conduct the policies and directives of Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and Departments, one question remains. What political advantages will Mary N. Piepho and her chief of staff gain from formation of a Municipal Advisory Council compared to the political costs that will be generated among neighborhoods throughout District 3?
**a question asked by Karen, Diablo Vista (Alamo) region neighborhoods forum (by e-exchange)**
Dear Dolores,
In review of e-exchange discussions during the past week, a MAC formation by district 3 will reignite the disapproval of the current supervisor and her chief of staff. The likely result as response is increased immediate interest in RECALL to be sponsored with allied neighborhoods throughout district 3. Thus, Karen's question is a request to you and your staff to provide published answers to the political purposes of a 94507 MAC.

It is very evident that it is the prerogative of any and all county supervisors to create these MAC's. This applies to any unincorporated community (in case you were wondering, I looked it up). I read it as the responsibility and "right".
Perhaps some additional review of this process would help, because it appears some people like Hal believe a MAC would or should serve as an independent government. It is very clear it is not allowed. I suggest he does more reading instead of just throwing out political barbs.
While you are at it do as I did. Inquire as to what it takes to recall any elected official. You might not be so willing to throw out such casual threats.
Get involved, get informed.
And a special question for Hal; Can't the people of your e-chains speak for themselves or are you the self appointed public information officer?

Dear Dolores,
It is appropriate that messages specifically aimed at me and for my response be directed to me by e-mail:

Member, CDSI Research Fellowship
In addition, I recommend that such personal e-mail be done from a secondary yahoo mail account so those that wish to personally question my neighborhood courtesies can maintain their privacy. Simply select three letters and three digits (individual numbers) for an yahoo e-address: EXAMPLE: firstname.lastname@example.com (defunct). Since June 2000, neighborhoods have maintained their privacy by using such secondary e-mail addressses and have successfully communicated among their majority in our region.
I will look forward to expanding my courtesy to neighbors not currently participating in our region's neighborhoods.

This is not the CIA-Nor a federal inquiry, just a simple question on a public forum/blog. No need to hide. No need to suggest what is appropriate and not. This is a forum, and the question could have been answered with a yes or no.
Dialogues between two (real) people often take place without having to go into a cloak of secrecy! Isn't that your criticism of certain groups or Governments? Now you are suggesting the same? Your suggestion on secondary (fictitious email addresses) exemplifies the point.
It remains a simple question.
If you believe your 20-60 thousand friends exist, coax them into voting next time around for an initiative, recall, ballot measure or political official of your liking. In the meantime, you should curtail the insinuations. It's like crying wolf.
Remember Hal, actions speak louder than words.

Dear Dolores, for your laughing and dancing pleasure.
My answer to all questions is "Yes, I have not stopped beating my wife because I never started."
Now that is cleared up, let's ask: "What political advantages will Mary N. Piepho and her chief of staff gain from formation of a Municipal Advisory Council compared to the political costs that will be generated among neighborhoods throughout District 3?" That is the subject of the forum and I am not.

Mr. Bailey,
Dancing? Dancing around a question maybe? For someone who loathes politicians, the double speak you offered certainly raised the bar. Thanks for presenting a non answer.
Since that is not cleared up, I present a new question; Who are you asking the rhetorical "political cost" question to? If it is Mary Piepho shouldn't you be asking her? Maybe you have? Or are you just looking to provide yourself increased opportunities to provide your own commentary? Oh you are a cagey one. No one would have seen that coming!
You see Hal, your domination of these forums has become subject matter (widely known). What a twist of fate, huh?
Because this is an 'open forum" which allows anyone to ask loaded questions and provide a variety of answers (and innuendos) it affords the same opportunity to hold you accountable for your postings. Please don't try to play the victim.
Who knows; maybe it will give you something new to consider as you move forward?

Dear Dolores,
AS a courtesy to our region's neighborhoods, I would like to thank all contributors to discussions of a Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) to be located in the 94507 (Alamo) segment of our region. After several exchanges, including the composite presentations of political factions in support of a MAC, your readers now have a clear picture of the politics and emotions of MAC consideration. As a MAC results, it will be a matter for neighbors and their counsel to determine any role for the MAC's five council members and two alternates within our region's political and planning considerations.
Best wishes to all,
Hal Bailey

Dear Dolores,
Neighbors are trying to understand "Baby Steps" as if suggesting we eat the elephant one bite at a time. There are no babies involved in Contra Costa aggregated politics and the by-product of district 3's closed-fisted control of county advisory committees. A MAC is a gatekeeper structure for the unilateral power and will of district 3.
Clearly, current CCC-MACs illustrate the failure of supervisors in using what should be a valuable relationship with communities. Take a look at the results since June 2006!!

Dear Dolores,
Please remind contributors that content, and not contempt, is a requirement. Nothing said in contempt is meaningful and serves only those that oppose a position. In 94507, a majority will not recognize a MAC and will subvert its advisory. That is the challenge that needs commentary by those that wish a MAC and cannot afford its destiny as a failure.
At some time there must be content in your forum and it is your reality to find it!

Dearest Hal,
What part of "place for sharing community information and opinion" does not apply to freedom of speech? Perhaps you did not get the memo? You know, the OPINION part...
I must admit I missed the notice where you were deputized to be a moderator on this forum. Is it your job now to interpret the "rules"? I see now, that if you don't like someone's position you cry foul.
Since you are offering up your constant opinion I simply do the same and question your contrived representation. You just don't like it!
The content of the forum is just that-information, commentary and more importantly dialogue. Not a one sided opinion by someone who is convinced they represent thousands within the community.
I am only one voice. You on the other hand believe you are many but I doubt if anyone is really buying it.
Now since you insist on having the last word, let's get back to the topic.
a resident of another community
on Jun 9, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Dear Dolores,
The reality of district 3 actions is now to be displayed on June 11. The response from the majority in 94507 will be delivered by their support, or lack thereof, of the resulting MAC. As the DAZE continues in concession by community groups, only the reality of the majority, too often thought apathetic, will determine how our region exercises majority voice and required compliance.
Let's once again let it be a surprise in similar manner to the majority that voted against their exclusion and the lack of definition of a TOWN named Alamo.
Now, how fun is that?

Dear Dolores,
Unfortunately, we never gained disclosure of the political purpose of a few proponents and opponents of incorporation in their current pursuit of a MAC. Of course we didn't expect district 3 to disclose the political agenda for a 94507 MAC.
What did happen as a result of your forum is the display of such politics' avoidance of content in their commentary. Regional neighbors in e-exchanges distributed such commentary and discussed 94507 MAC politics to be expected provoking significant study of current MACs and the communities they fail to serve. Conclusion? A 94507 MAC will be defined by district 3 to fulfill the autocratic purposes of the town council defeated by a majority of voters.
Thank you for your forum,
Hal, as a community courtesy

Just an educated guess here Hal, but I am thinking the political purposes of a MAC are stated in the Government Code, somewhere on the County's website and publications.
If you have not figured it out, the one thing I will not do, is your homework. You have to take some responsibility here. The answers are there, you just need to look.
As far as my opinion; a MAC would offer an accountable communication link, to and from the Supervisor's office & in turn to and from the County. I am under the impression that county departments have allowances for MAC input, whereas there is no place for input from unofficial sources such as the AIA or other private groups. You could ignore the MAC and force the AIA and see how that works out.
If your question was geared more toward the Supervisor Mary Piepho's political agenda I have not seen one. I heard she had no interest in Houston's or Tauscher's seat so she may not have a political agenda. You would have to ask her directly or if not, then continue to joust with your windmills.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Playboy.com's Exclusive Interview with Recoil Star Danny Trejo
Whether he's fighting on screen, or visiting a juvenile hall to counsel, Danny Trejo is one bad ass you don't mess with.
It was easy for Danny Trejo to get into character of a boxing convict in the 1985 film Runaway Train. After landing 11 years behind bars during his youth, Danny became a Pennsylvania State Prison champion in both the lightweight and welter weight divisions. It was, however, hard to believe that 27 years after his rocky upbringing Danny would become one of the most recognized faces in the film industry.
His determination to kick destructive drug and alcohol habits combined with a positive attitude and willingness to help anyone in need has made him one of the greatest 'bad guys' with a heart of gold to grace the silver screen. Whether he's fighting Steve Austin in the recently released film Recoil, or visiting a juvenile hall to speak about the crippling effects of drug and alcohol abuse, he's one bad ass you don't want to mess with.
Playboy.com: Where are you right now?
Trejo: I thought we were going to do a photo shoot for Playboy so I got into a Speedo and I'm in my bathtub.
Playboy.com: Oh man, we're missing out! You have to tweet a picture of that. How did you get into Twitter anyway? A guy like you doesn't strike me as one to take interest in social media.
Trejo: Believe it or not, a Channel 11 news anchor got me into it. I told her I didn't even know who or what it was. [laughs]
Playboy.com: You come from a boxing background and your co-star Steve Austin comes from wrestling. Was there any moves exchanged between the two of you on the set of Recoil?
Trejo: As a boxer and an actor I'm able to stage a pretty good fight. It is awful to end up fighting with another actor because most of them grew up on Broadway, so it was nice working with Steve on our fight scenes. Steve is brilliant. He's been doing this all of his life so fighting with him was a joy. All of the punches look real and all of the kicks he does are inches away from your face!
Playboy.com: Did you guys do a lot of your own stunts in this film?
Trejo: We did most of the fighting scenes. As an actor you always want to be working with people who know what they're doing. Actors know how to act, stunt guys know how to do stunts and fighters know how to fight. Working with someone like Steve who knows a bit of everything was great. I met Steve through another wrestler named Diamond Dallas Page who's really good friends with him, so I knew him a long time before this movie.
Playboy.com: What's the craziest stunt you've done?
Trejo: In Machete I jump out of a window holding a guy's guts, I guess you could say that it was pretty crazy.
Playboy.com: You have quite the cult following thanks to that film.
Trejo: It has gotten crazy! They're actually inducting me into the Texas Film Hall of Fame. I've done about 7-8 movies in Austin with Robert Rodriguez. My neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley also did a Danny Trejo Mural, it's huge! In Hollywood they give you a cute little star; in my neighborhood they give you a whole wall!
Playboy.com: We can't wait for Machete 2.
Trejo: Yeah, it's going to have to be pretty crazy and over the top to go above and beyond the last film. What's funny about all of this is that Robert Rodriguez and I talked about Machete while we were filming Desperado 18 years ago. He just said, "I can really see you as this character." So we just kept building on the idea of it. When they were doing Grindhouse, they needed the extra trailer so he called me up and said, "Let's do this in case we don't actually ever make Machete." But the minute we showed the trailer in theaters, the audience demanded it. You have to go online and look up my Machete bike! I just built a motorcycle that's got everybody's picture on it from Machete. It is really cool.
Playboy.com: You always seem to take the time to accept roles in smaller budget films. Is that something that happened over time, or have you always been a fan of a good old B movie?
Trejo: I'm a firm believer in giving back. Every time a new director or a student film calls up, my agent cringes. When I hear about it, most of the time I do it! [Laughs] It's just a lot of fun to give young kids a chance. The real joy is to see their excitement of being in charge of a camera and using their knowledge outside of the classroom. I've done student films that their instructors were on the set, so I do my thing and give autographs. All of the student projects I've worked on have been a lot of fun.
Playboy.com: You're into vintage cars too. Do you just work on them or do you just collect?
Trejo: I'm no Jay Leno! [Laughs] I work on them. Everyone else buys them but we get them from scraps. Right now I've got a 1936 Dodge Touring Sedan that is absolutely gorgeous, there are only five of them on the registry. I also have a 1952 Chevy stepside pickup that's just beautiful from the ground up and a 1965 Buick Riviera that is clamshell chrome. I love driving my 1976 Cadillac Seville around town. I'll pull up somewhere and someone will say 'that's beautiful!' Then I hit the switches and it starts bouncing up and down.
Playboy.com: Between working on cars and working on film do you ever make time for boxing out of work?
Trejo: No, I train. I go to one of the best gyms in the world called 24 Hours Fitness. It's like God thought, "you know what? Danny needs a place to train." So he made this place that's open 24 hours. I work sometimes at one o'clock in the morning so when I get off of work and I'm so wired I can't go to sleep, so I go to the gym. I work out about three times a week. If I'm doing a film I work out every day to get into shape. But then I walk all of the time. Anybody over fifty years over should just walk around the block to keep your heart pumping.
Playboy.com: You're in so many films a year. Have you ever thought of directing?
Trejo: Oh, that's real work. Have you ever seen a director? They go grey real quick. I can't even imagine dealing with actors. I've watched Robert Rodriguez for years, he's captain of the ship. He's the first one on board and the last one to leave. When everybody goes home he's setting up the shots for the next day. So you know, it's not like it wouldn't be fun but for me but I love acting. I love showing up, saying my lines, not bumping into the furniture and going home to work on my car.
Playboy.com: So what does the future hold for Danny Trejo?
Trejo: Recoil is out and it's a lot of fun. Everyone should grab a copy to watch with friends. My next movie coming out is called Badass. It is about a war vet who went viral on YouTube after he kicked the shit out of these two guys who were bullying an old man on a bus. I'm also leaving for Romania to do a film called Deathly Tombstone which is a western. It's so sad that we have to go to Romania to do an America western, but it has gotten so expensive here for low budget filmmakers that he can't really do it here.
Playboy.com: You're typecast as a bad boy. Are a lot of people surprised when they meet this kind-hearted, community driven, married man?
Trejo: [Laughs] Yeah, but you can't tell anybody. My passion is talking to kids who are in trouble—in juvenile hall—especially because that's where I grew up.
The great thing about the movie industry is that when you talk to kids you have to get their attention, which is impossible, because they have none. And then you got to keep their attention, which is impossible, because they have none. Then you have to show them you're cool but that's impossible because anybody five years older than them can't be cool and then you got to deliver your message.
My message, 'problems get worse with alcohol and drugs and education is the key to anything you want to do' is a hard one to engage. My blessing is the film industry. I've got their attention the minute I walk onto the campus. They want to hear what the guy from Con Air has to say, what the guy from Heat has to say, what the guy from Recoil has to say. But if Joey the accountant shows up, it's going to be real hard for him because the only ones that want to hear him are the math majors. The kids that get in trouble don't want to hear it. So this life that the good Lord has given me is a blessing for what I want to do.
Playboy.com: And with that blessing you get to work with a lot of incredibly gorgeous women!
Trejo: One of the perks! I worked with some of the most beautiful women in the world. I love to be around women that God worked over-time on. Ashley Judd, Serinda Swan, Selma Hayek, Michelle Rodrigues, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan… All of these unbelievable girls are friends of mine and it's amazing!
Playboy.com: Speaking of Lindsay Lohan, do you remember what your first Playboy was?
Trejo: I hate to tell you, but I still remember Marilyn Monroe lying on that red satin. And you know what? I might even still have it!

Video: Beck, Michelle Malkin go toe to toe over Massa interview
posted at 12:10 pm on March 9, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
This starts off as an intellectual discourse on the use of apostates in political arguments, but descends to a pity party on Glenn Beck's part when he goes after Michelle Malkin for criticizing his decision to give an hour to Eric Massa. It starts downhill at the moment that Beck says, "I don't understand you people," which takes the Boss Emeritus aback. The Right Scoop has the video:
Frankly, I don't even know what set Beck off in the first place. Having Massa on the show for a segment might make some sense, but the decision to devote an hour to Massa is certainly open for criticism. Beck needs to handle criticism over an editorial decision like that among friends better than this. I worked for Michelle for two years and had open disagreements on policy, but it never took this kind of tone, nor did I ever think of it as backstabbing, as Beck seems to imply. In fact, both of us thought it was part of the process and made for better blogging and radio, which is why it had always been stressed that I could write what I want and argue what I believe here at Hot Air.
On the plus side, he makes up with Michelle towards the end of the interview, and he apparently apologized later. It's not as unpleasant as the reaction on Twitter indicated, but it's not Beck's finest moment, either.
Beck says, "I'm not making this about him," but at the same time he's claiming that Massa "confirms" what the White House is doing. It only confirms it if Massa has any credibility. Claiming that Democrats are railroading him out of office when he's resigning on his own makes his credibility very suspect. One can believe that the Obama administration is playing hardball with or without Massa's testimony on this point, but relying on Massa undermines the argument if it turns out that Massa may be exaggerating or prevaricating for his own purposes — and as Michelle has pointed out, there's certainly some evidence to bolster that interpretation.
None of us need to rely on Massa's credibility for our arguments. We can note his statements and consider the context and Massa's motivations, which is all Michelle asks of Beck in reconsidering his choice to give Massa a big megaphone tonight. It's not bad advice, and perhaps Beck should give it more consideration, coming from a friend.

Given the nets of 4 cubes with the faces coloured in 4 colours, build a tower so that on each vertical wall no colour is repeated, that is all 4 colours appear.
A connected graph is a graph in which we can get from any vertex to any other by travelling along the edges. A tree is a connected graph with no closed circuits (or loops. Prove that every tree has exactly one more vertex than it has edges.
Label this plum tree graph to make it totally magic!
In the Land of Trees all the caterpillars have numbers on their feet and hips (vertices) and on their legs and body segments (edges) as shown on this 4 legged caterpillar. All the whole numbers from 1 to $v+e$ are used where $v$ is the number of vertices and $e$ is the number of edges. Biologists classify them by their vertex-sums.
A vertex sum is the total of the numbers on the vertex and all the edges at that vertex.
The caterpillar shown has vertex sums:
11 (8+3), 13 (9+4), 15 (10+5), 17 (11+6), 25 (8+9+7+1) and 30 (7+10+11+2).
Show that one day a biologist may find a rare magic 4-legged caterpillar having the same sum at all its vertices and describe this creature.
Could there be two species of magic 4-legged caterpillars with different numberings?
Do magic 6-legged caterpillars exist?
What about magic caterpillars with even more legs?

Rep. Walz 'deeply disappointed' with NRA proposal
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota congressman who gets high marks from the National Rifle Association said he was dismayed with the gun lobby's proposal Friday to station armed police officers in every school across America, saying it would turn schools into armed camps.
Rep. Tim Walz, a former teacher and National Guard veteran, considers himself a staunch defender of the Second Amendment and gets straight A's from the NRA for his support on gun-rights issues. But the Democrat from Mankato said he has been rethinking his opposition to a ban on assault-style weapons and believes the country needs an open discussion about gun violence.
He told reporters during a conference call he was "deeply disappointed" by NRA chief lobbyist Wayne LaPierre's comments at a Washington news conference about last week's shooting rampage that killed 20 children and six educators at a Connecticut elementary school.
"I reject his pessimistic world view," said Walz, who taught geography and coached football at Mankato West High School before he was elected to Congress. "I refuse to believe that our schools have to become armed encampments where our children don't feel safe."
The NRA plan also drew flak from other Minnesota Democrats and leaders of the state's main teachers' union, Education Minnesota.
"No legal organization in America is more responsible than the NRA for lobbying to ensure the proliferation of killer guns while denying law enforcement tools to stop killers," Rep. Betty McCollum, whose district includes St. Paul, said in a statement. "Wayne LaPierre's call for guards and guns in every school building and playground is madness and a perverse vision for life in America."
Among Minnesota Republicans, Rep. Michele Bachman declined an interview. Rep. Erik Paulsen's spokesman did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
The dean of Minnesota's congressional delegation, Rep. Collin Peterson, who like Walz is an NRA-endorsed rural Democrat, was traveling and not immediately available, his spokeswoman said.
Walz noted that LaPierre took no questions at his news conference, calling it "a very odd way to start a national conversation."
The congressman also thought it was ironic that the NRA proposed an expensive new idea one day after efforts to avoid the automatic tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" stalled out amid GOP disarray in the House.
Math teacher Julie Blaha said it seems like the NRA is coming up with ideas without speaking first with school administrators, teachers and people who specialize in school security — the people who would be among the most affected by the NRA's proposal.
Blaha, president of Education Minnesota's local affiliate for the state's largest school district — Anoka-Hennepin, in suburban Minneapolis — said the NRA should spend some time in schools before suggesting how to fix them.
"Their focus is on security and threats. Our focus is on building good relationships. Making sure that our students have the support and resources that they need," she said.
Blaha pointed out that there are more than 2,500 schools in Minnesota, so putting an armed police officer at each one would be prohibitively expensive.
"I do understand reactions like this to violence," she said. "It's tempting to grab a quick fix to feel safe again. It really is.
"But if we want to make a long-term preventative impact, let's look at adding a counselor, a school psychologist or a social worker to every school. Let's increase the number of community therapists available to our kids," she added. "Adding more mental health professionals to our schools will not only help us in these one in a million situations, but help us in the 999,000 others too."
St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman also criticized the NRA's plan. The Democrat said the debate needs to include a ban on assault-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, a better background check system, tougher penalties for illegal gun trafficking and outlawing "cop-killer" bullets.
"None of these solutions were offered by the NRA today, which means they've proven they have no interest in being part of this conversation that stops crimes like this from happening again," Coleman said in a statement.
Blaha was encouraged about one thing from the NRA's proposal: "I'm glad they didn't say anything about arming teachers," she said.

The science of light, once confined to research labs and science fiction novels, has found its way into our everyday lives. The applications of optics can be seen everywhere. A list of more common examples of these applications include laser printers, fiber optic communication, internet switches, fiber optic telephone lines, compact disc players, credit cards bearing holograms, grocery checkout scanners, computers and eye surgery. The field of optics is an enabling technology and is growing at a rapid pace. Optical techniques are found in a wide range of areas such as surveying and construction, measurements of material parameters and deformation, flow measurements, communications, machine vision, laser cutting, drilling and welding, data storage, internet switches, optical computers and sensors etc. Surveys show that there is a growing demand for optical designers/scientists/ engineers every year. Opportunities for graduates in Optical Engineering are available in many industries, including automated inspection, consumer electronics, fiber optic communications, optical instrumentation, laser devices, radar systems, data storage etc.
The Optical Engineering bachelor's degree program is one of the few in the country. This program provides a firm foundation for those interested in continuing thier studies in optics at the graduate level, as well as for those going into industry. The curriculum was developed by the faculty with input from industrial representatives as well as from renowned national and international optics educators. Because of the diverse applications of optics, the curriculum contains a mix of courses in physics and mathematics as well as humanities and social sciences. The Optical Engineering program at Rose-Hulman stresses laboratory instruction. We also encourage students to look at options for a double major, especially Optical Engineering with electrical, computer or mechanical engineering.
Students majoring in degree programs other than Optical Engineering are eligible to obtain an area minor in Optical Engineering.
The Department of Physics and Optical Engineering also offers an M.S. (Optical Engineering) degree. The masters level degree program complements the B.S. (Optical Engineering) degree program. Highly motivated students may obtain both a B.S. and an M.S. in Optical Engineering in a five-year period. A plan of study for this program must be approved by the end of the student's junior year.
You may view all information regarding Physics and Optical Engineering at our web site: http://www.rose-hulman.edu/physics.aspx

Optical Communications Certificate
Faculty advisors: B. Black, R. M. Bunch and S. Granieri
Rose-Hulman has become a leader in providing opportunities for students to choose a great mainstream degree program with flexibility to specialize in other areas of interest. This leadership is in no way limited to only traditional areas of study. One of these new areas that had a high impact in technology is optical communications. It is a rapidly growing field requiring investment beyond the traditional program structure, and is well suited to the students at Rose-Hulman All these topics are closely related to well established disciplines as optics and electronics. Considerable R&D efforts are allocated in both university and industrial laboratories enhancing the demand for both researchers and engineers with expertise in the field.
We propose the creation of a new certificate program in Optical Communications to enhance the programs currently offered. Combining expertise in Optical and Electrical Engineering, this program requires an interdisciplinary emphasis that is beyond the traditional content of either of its parent programs. This program is more than just the creation of the certificate program Optical Communications. This program will be critical to help developing a more interdisciplinary interaction for students and faculty. The creation of a workgroup within the faculty of both departments will coordinate current courses and resources, create new courses of interest for the field, and develop a showcase testbed education and research laboratory. Primary objectives include the removal of redundancy from existing courses, increasing interaction between the PHOE and ECE Departments, and improving opportunities for students in the field.
This certificate is designed to give the student a firm theoretical and practical working knowledge in the area of fiber optic devices, optical communications, networks and its applications. The main purpose is to couch these fundamentals in a context that serves as the backbone for device, components and sub-system development for use in high-speed optical data and information links and networks. At the end of the program the student will be expected to:
The Certificate will consist of 20 credit hours of which 12 credit hours will be required courses. Students interested in pursuing this Certificate should contact an ECE/PHOE certificate advisor (Professors Black, Bunch, and Granieri)

Just keep your finger off the trigger.
Is there anything inherently unsafe with using a 3.5 connector and 6lb trigger spring for ccw, IF, it is holstered and only drawn To shoot?
Just keep your finger off the trigger.
I've read about many people using the 3.5lb connector along with the NY1 spring for ccw. The NY1 spring is pretty cheap......I may give it a try.
I personally wouldn't carry anything that light for ccw, unless, I could justify it by shooting that much better than a 5.5 pound trigger pull.
