The Aeolian Master - Book One - Revival HTML version
The warden was so bound up in his hate that the event, at first, eluded him. He wondered what the cat was
doing. He didn't realize he was dying until his head plopped forward on a torrent of blood, which was gushing
from the gaping hole where his throat had previously been. His lips swept back in a look of horror, and his
bulging eyes popped open. Why had Roqford done this evil act? What had he done to him? The warden fell
forward and was dead before his fat face plowed into the smooth plastic on the wall's walkway. His jowls
quivered a couple of times, and then he lay still.
Zorn and Phist stood outside the bars of the brig looking in at Commander Mace and Bradon. Zorn shook
his head. "What made you do it?" he asked as he looked at Mace.
"Do what?" retorted Mace in a commanding voice. "We haven't done anything, but you have. And once we
get back to the Flagship, you'll be court-martialed and sent away for the rest of your life."
"There's too much evidence that says you're a liar," said Zorn. "So, here's the deal," he said as he pulled his
phasor from its holster. He aimed and pulled the trigger. The blue ray struck Bradon full in the chest and
knocked him against the wall. He went down with a look of stupefaction glued to his face.
Mace was startled and jumped back in fear. "What the . . ."
"I'm not finished," interrupted Zorn. "Here's the deal. You make your call to the Flagship this morning as
usual with no secret signals, and I'll let you live." He unlocked the bars and motioned for Mace to follow him.
Sam and Xyg followed from behind holding a phasor on them.
Zorn lessened his pace, and when Mace came closer Zorn quickly turned and hit him in the stomach as hard
as he could. "That one's for the Galaef," he said with a tone of anger, and then he doubled his fist and hit him
on the side the head. "And that one's for me, you bastard." He didn't dare hit him in the face. There had to be
no look of trouble when Mace made his call.
Zorn grabbed him by the collar and pulled him groggy and stumbling toward the elevator.
Once they reached the conference room Zorn pushed him through the doorway with such force that he wasn't
able to stop until he hit the conference table.
"Commander Mace, we meet again," said Dahms.
"I don't know who you are lady, but you're going to pay for this, and you're going to pay hard."
"Commander Mace, hasn't everything been explained to you? If you don't make a correct call, that is if you
send any kind of signal that something is wrong, then you're going to die along with the rest of us." She paused.
"Do you understand that? You'll be dead and then it won't matter what Thorne does or what the Galaef does.
You'll be gone, and you'll never be coming back."
A look of resignation crossed Mace's face. He said, "You don't get it lady, if the Galaef is freed I'll be sent
to the Zi pits—the most horrifying death known to mankind. I would rather take my chances of being killed by
a sonic bomb with the rest of you."
Now Dahms had a problem. Mace might be right, but she had to make him think there was hope for him so
he would make the call with no tricks. "You know as well as I and everyone in this room . . . hell everyone in
the Galaxy knows Thorne can't take over as Galaef—too many failsafe systems. So, if you switch over to our
side now, I assure you the Galaef will never know you were involved in a plot to overthrow him. And if by
some off chance he finds out about your part in this, I will personally stand up for you. I will explain that if it
hadn't been for you, we could have never saved him." She paused and then said, "And you know I won't be
lying, and he'll know it too, because without your help right now there's no way we can save the Galaef."
"That puts me in a hell of a spot, doesn't it?"
"There's no spot at all," answered Dahms. "If you help Thorne, he'll hit us with a sonic bomb and you'll be
dead. If you help the Galaef, you have a chance of surviving and looking like a hero. It doesn't take a genius to
figure out which is the best way to go." Dahms looked at the clock. "Time's running out," she said. "It's four
minutes after eight."
Mace rubbed the side of his head where the knot had formed. He pondered for a moment. "I guess your
right," he finally said. He walked over to the communicator and dialed in the number, and then put on the
headphones as he waited.
A moment later he started talking. "This is Commander Mace." . . . Pause . . . "I'm reporting in." . . . Pause .

Professor Alex Dupuy, who is Haitian. writes that "There is no doubt that the dominant economic and political classes of Haiti bear great responsibility for the abysmal conditions in the country that exacerbated the impact of the earthquake (or of hurricanes or tropical storms). However, these local actors did not create these conditions alone but did so in close partnership with foreign governments and economic actors with long-standing interests in Haiti, principally those of the advanced countries-the United States, Canada, and France-and their international financial institutions (IFIs)-the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank".He outlines a five-point Agenda for Change, beginning with rejection of structural adjustment polices, a large-scale public works programme and prioritisation of food security and food sovereignty.

Norman i have been here from day one(maybe two) i flew in from Prico met the Doctors without borders there and got on board.
What i have seen here is unimaginable. i thought Katrina was bad but, need i tell u more.
i have been asked for interviews but Cuba does none we leave that the Dr Sanjay Gupta and CNN ABC FOX etc.
However i have agreed to speak with a couple of progressive community radio shows once i decide which is most important helping or viol Cubas rules, so i know now that i will wait until i am stateside. After all i am a guest of DWB although a Cuban.
i am leaving two URLS and i hope that they will not be bounced because all of the Monday morn quarterbacks needs some enlightning..so that they can understand why and how the wonderful people that i have fallen in love with again have been injured by the insanity of the US and its allies (french) All that i am revealing is just a crux of the issues.
Norman Children have been kidnapped and this has been told to me by parents and siblings who worked at the orphanges..American Dr's are also leaving cannot handle the pressure or task and have abandoned the people blaming the Haitan looters etc.
Some are claiming that food is being taken and viol is prevalent .This is not true as i am here and i have yet to see anything other than people begging? and being murdered by foreign soldiers and local police.
Norman we go to places no other Drs other than the Caribbean med personnel will go i am on a ship half the night where i am allowed to use computers my blackberry and get a few hrs sleep. i spend the other half the day in a makeshift hosp doing what i can with a body bag or without.
My dauther is at la paz a makeshift hosp video below of us both where anyone can come for care and since her exp is children her hands are full

Last the risk of harvesting organs of the deceased……>

For Dave Dickenson, the decision to sign a three-year contract extension to remain with the Calgary Stampeders was an easy one.
While Dickenson has aspirations of one day becoming a head coach in the Canadian Football League, he decided that now wasn't that time.
"One of these days, yeah hopefully I can take that step to a head coach," said Dickenson, who was in the conversation for head coach vacancies in Edmonton, Winnipeg and Ottawa. "I didn't allow any offers nor did I get any offers. Other people called to talk and I just politely said I wasn't interested. It wasn't whether it would have happened or not. It wasn't important to me. It wasn't something that I wanted to even entertain."
Instead, Dickenson agreed to stay on as offensive co-ordinator with the Stamps, while also taking on the role as assistant head coach under his mentor John Hufnagel.
"I spoke with Huf and told him that I'd like to stay if we could make it work," said Dickenson, who has run Calgary's offence for the past three seasons, helping the Stamps lead the CFL with 1,595 points scored over that span. "I'm very happy to be back. It was a commitment to me that the club came to me and asked what my future was going to be and I really wanted to be here.
"I didn't want to move. The other opportunities to me weren't exciting. This is the place I wanted to be and my family wants to be. The organization to me is top notch."
Hufnagel has no doubt that Dickenson will eventually follow in his footsteps to one day become a coach in the CFL.
"We both played quarterback (and) we were offensive co-ordinators," said Hufnagel, when asked about the similarities in their career paths. "We've got two out of two and there will be a day I'm sure it'll be three out of three."
Hufnagel said he's looking forward to working with Dickenson as his assistant for at least the next three seasons.
"To secure Dave's appointment here is a big step in the continuance of the Calgary Stampeders being a good football team and hopefully becoming a great football team in the very near future," Hufnagel said. "I've really enjoyed Dave's growth since he's become a football coach and with what he and his staff have accomplished since he became an offensive co-ordinator has been excellent work."
With Dickenson calling the shots this past season, Calgary led the league with 549 points scored with an offence featuring rushing champion and most outstanding player Jon Cornish of New Westminster, B.C.
Quarterbacks Kevin Glenn, Drew Tate and Bo Levi Mitchell all earned victories as starters as the Stamps led the league with a 14-4 record before suffering a disappointing 35-13 setback to the eventual Grey Cup champion Saskatchewan Roughriders in the West Division final at home on Nov. 17.
"We still had a disappointing finish, but there were so many positives," Dickenson said. "To me it was something that I wanted to stay a part of and it wasn't really that hard to line something up and get an extension. I still feel fairly young as a coach."
Dickenson's association with the Stampeders started in 1996 when he joined the team as a quarterback. He played four seasons in Calgary, winning the 2000 most outstanding player before trying to break into the NFL.
He returned to the CFL in 2003 and played five seasons with the B.C. Lions, where he led them to a championship in 2006 and was named Grey Cup MVP.
He then returned to Calgary for a final season in 2008, serving as a backup to Henry Burris, before retiring and joining the Stamps as a running backs coach.
Dickenson finished his playing career with three Grey Cup rings, including one with Calgary in 1998, and he'd like nothing more than to help the Stamps win another championship.
"I want us to get to the point where we're always successful, that we feel like we have a shot at the ring every year and just keep kicking at it and hopefully we can make a breakthrough," he said. "I hope people appreciate the job we did this year. I know our players are the main reason we're having success, but I do think there's other reasons. We have a great organization, great scouting and assistant coaches that are on top of their game as well."Report Typo/Error

Telitha + Jonathan's Nerdy Garden Wedding
An afternoon garden themed wedding with a nerdy spin. "It was fairly easy to work in our love for Nintendo games with the mushrooms because of our garden theme," says bride Telitha. Who kept it relatively traditional with a just few touches of " nerdy whimsy". A custom Daisy and Luigi topper made to the likeness of the couple sits atop their pastel mushroom cupcake tower. "They were raspberry lemonade flavored, half had a raspberry buttercream beneath the fondant and half had lemon. Very tasty!"
The shoes and stockings were just a bit of nerdy whimsy the couple worked into the wedding.
An aspiring children's author and poet, Telitha found inspiration from Dr. Suess for her rhyming line vows. Obsessed with rhyming words, the vast majority of Dr. Suess' books feature text made of rhyming couplets. Seuss even went so far as to invent words to rhyme. "Our vows were the following, adapted from various things I'd found and then edited to my liking."
Pastor: Will you take her as your wife?
Will you love her all your life?
Will you take him by the hand?
And make a husband of this man? Will you have, and also hold Just as you have at this time told?
Will you love through good and bad? Whether you're happy or sad? Will you love each other if you're rich? Or if you're poor, and in a ditch?
Will you love each other when you're fit, And also when you're feeling sick? Will you love with all your heart? Will you love till death you part?
(Both Nod)
Then if you'll take her as your wife, And if you'll love each other all your life,
And if you'll take him by the hand,
And make a husband of this man, And if you'll have, and if you'll hold, From now until the stars grow cold, And if you'll love through good and bad, And whether you're happy or sad, And love in sickness, and in health, And when you're poor, and when in wealth, And if you'll love with all your heart, From now until death do you part, Yes, if you'll love each other through and through, Please answer with these words:
Pastor, Groom and Bride: I DO!
Pastor: You're married now! So kiss the bride, But please, do keep it dignified
Stepping away from tradition, when the two were announced as Mr. and Mrs. Telitha and Jonathan Gildersleeve. An older member of Jonathan's family called out very loudly, "I think they mean SMITH don't they?!" The groom took her name.

STAFFORD TOWNSHIP — Mayor John Spodofora said the town received a check for $250,000 from the Alec Baldwin Foundation Friday to put toward rebuilding the Millcreek Community Center that was destroyed during superstorm Sandy.
Baldwin previously posted on Twitter that he was directed to the Mill Creek Community Center in Stafford Township by Gov. Chris Christie's office.
Spodofora said the building on Mill Creek Road was flooded with four feet of water during the storm.The water undermined the building and liquified the sand below, causing the cement floor to collapse, he said. The building has to be demolished and could cost as much as $1.6 million to rebuild, he added. The building must be raised and rebuilt on piling, he said.
He said he spoke with Christopher Stark from Gov. Chris Christie's office last month and was told that there was an anonymous donor who was interested in donating money to help a community in New Jersey in the aftermath of the storm.
"Chris Stark asked me what kind of damage we had and I told him about the community center and he was very interested," Spodofora said.
The mayor and Christie's office continued the dialogue over the last few weeks and when Spodofora found out that Stafford Township would be receiving a donation from Baldwin's foundation he was very surprised. Spodofora said the township also received donations from the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation in the weeks after the storm.
"I know that Alec Baldwin is an environmentalist and I am also an environmentalist so I could understand that. But he's also a very staunch Democrat," Spodofora, who is a Republican, said and laughed.
The donation from Baldwin will not only help with funding the rebuilding of the center, but also with lifting up the morale of the town.
"It's a tough time for the township and the region. This center is used by a lot of people in the community whether it's clubs or local homeowners associations," Spodofora said.
"We do have some insurance to cover rebuilding, but with the way things are we're going to have be looking anywhere we can to find money," he said.
He said he is working with Christie's office to organize a visit to the township with Baldwin where he hopes to present him with an honorary key to town.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

More than 1.6 million fires are reported each year in the United States. It's a sobering statistic, especially when you consider the more than 3,600 people who lose their lives in these fires.
Everyone knows smoke alarms play a vital role in saving lives, but many homeowners forget to ensure their alarms and detectors are in working order. According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), no smoke alarms were present in the 42% of fatal residential structure fires. When smoke alarms were present (58% of fatal fires) only 37% of those alarms were reported to be working correctly.
Smoke detectors remain the cornerstone of fire safety in the home. To find out the latest information from the USFA, read the tips listed below. For more information, go to the USFA's website at www.usfa.dhs.gov
Remember, smoke alarms are the only one tool at your disposal to help keep your family safe in case of a home fire. Every home and business should also have a fire escape plan to go along with its emergency preparedness plan.
USFA Smoke Alarm Tips
In standard battery-powered smoke alarms, the batteries need to be replaced at least once per year and the whole unit should be replaced every 8-10 years.
Since smoke and many deadly gases are on the rise, installing your smoke alarms at the proper level will provide you the earliest warning possible. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, including the basement.
For extra safety, install smoke alarms both inside and outside sleeping areas.
- Contact your local fire department on a non-emergency phone number if you need help or have questions about fire safety in your home.

Comfortmaker Won't power on at all!
Hello all please help we have already dished out so much on repairs for this furnance.
Here's the stroy.
We had a rod hole leak in our basement into the outlet for our sumppump, so the water proofing guy turned off the fuse box swith for that outlet and when he did it also power down our furnace. NO big deal right. Well when we flicked the fuse box switch back on the sumppump outlet worked, the humidifier outlet worked, but NOW the furnance won't power on. Nothing will. From the themostat we can't EVEN get the fan to turn on when we go from auto to on, the furnace won't kick on the blower the little click noise nothing, the ac won't even kick on. It is like there is no power running to the system at all!!!! DOesn't make sense because everything else on that fuse switch is on and working fine.
We tried turning the furnace switch on and off without any success. And then we even tried to flip the main fuse box switch. Bad idea! We couldn't get the power in the whole house to come back for like 10-15 minutes, very scary.
Anyways can anyone help? Any ideas?
Thank you
Danielle and Nick
Check the fuse inside your furnace on/off switch if you have one in there, verify if you have 120v to furnace, if so your circuit board may have fried.
All better
I broke down and called the furnace guy. $75 to tighten a screw in the furnace that was causing a wire to be loose stopping everything from working. HOw switching off the fuse box and the loose srew were related???? So $75 to tighten a screw :) Better than $5000 for a new system which is what another guy tried to tell me I needed.

The Droge All News Compendium
Topper-most of the AAA-er most
June 8, 2006
"Beautiful Wreck" has hit the top of the AAA Radio charts. The Shawn Mullins single (co-written by yours truly) reached #1 on the R&R AAA Radio Airplay chart on 6/9/06. This was a song that we started in the very first incarnation of what would become The Thorns. The song was almost forgotten. But Shawn revived it and is taking it everywhere with him, playing it in every cramped radio booth that will have him. It is paying off, the song is a hit. Go Shawn go!

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

This is cheaper than if I were to buy chocolate chips from supermarket in Japan. Love it. Would prefer if the chips were a bit smaller though.

May not be the best out there, but at this price, no complaints! Definitely can order again. Much cheaper than what I have to pay for the same item in the stores here. UPDATE: iherb has increased the price for this - I don't think this is worth the price anymore, or I have changed my rating.

"I don't see how you could have anybody better qualified"
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said he hopes Hillary Clinton will become the first female president of the United States in 2016.
"I don't see how you could have anybody better qualified," Buffett told CNN's Poppy Harlow in an exclusive interview Wednesday about the current Secretary of State and 2008 White House hopeful.
"I like what she believes in," said Buffett. "I think she's extraordinarily able and energetic for that matter in pushing those beliefs."
She'll be in a creche, same room with Harry Reid and McCain, by then.

Ambassador Stevens was unavailable for comment.
Coincidentally enough, so was Killary.
1. The State Department had to issue a waiver for the consulate in Benghazi because security failed to meet its own basic security standards and those set forth in Federal law.
2. The Benghazi consulate had been bombed twice in the 5 months leading up to 09.11.12.
3. Specific threats had been made against the ambassador, the consulate, and other assets in Benghazi.
4. Increasing threats to and attacks on the Libyan nationals hired to provide security at the U.S. missions in Tripoli and Benghazi had been made during the 6 months prior to the attack.
5. On 10 June 2012, an assassination attempt had been made on the British ambassador, which led to the entire mission being abandoned.
6. Diplomatic cables warned of security concerns in Benghazi and flatly said the consulate could not withstand a coordinated attack.
7. The Red Cross had been attacked in May and al Qaeda had left threats there on the day of the attack mentioning the American consulate.
8. On 22 June 2012, Ambassador Stevens warned State that extremist groups were carrying out terrorists attacks, making threats against Western targets, and he believed that he was a target.
9. On 9 July 2012, Stevens requested State provide at least 13 more security personnel.
10. On 21 July 2012, the private security contractor, Nordstrom, warned State to be on high alert for terrorist activity. State refused to renew Nordstrom's contract on 5 Aug and replaced it with a Welsh group, Blue Mountain, which had little knowledge of the conditions in Libya and hired inexperienced locals for $4 an hour.
11. On 2 August 2012, Stevens sent an urgent cable to Clinton requesting a "protective detail bodyguard."
12. On 16 August 2012, the consulate security team leaves while sending a message directly to Clinton of the dire security situation.
13. On 8 September 2012, Libyan officials in Benghazi warned both Ambassador Stevens and Secretary Clinton of a pending attack on the consulate.
14. 4 hours before he was killed, Stevens cabled Washington. He told Hillary's office that there were at least 10 al Qaeda groups openly training in Benghazi and he/and the consulate were operating under extremis conditions.
15. It was the 11th anniversary of the original 9/11.

I'm angry about 4 dead men and the lies that are desecrating their service and their graves.

Bing. Not sure why he's become so stupid and really couldn't give a damn. But $8 billion or no $8 billion…doesn't matter. He's bat-shit crazy at this point.
He pays very expensive lawyers a lot of money to avoid paying taxes, rather than just give that same money to the government as taxes … then tells us that we need to pay more taxes and that he isn't taxed enough!
No one lies that badly…he's clearly insane. Which leads us to his analysis of idiot Hillary as the most qualified person anyone could even imagine to President. His Board should seek to have him institutionalized.
Jaibones on November 15, 2012 at 10:18 PM
I have heard Hillary was smart since her serial rapist husband Burt onto the national scene all those years ago.
not one time have I witnessed anything from her remotely approximating intelligence. sure she is crafty and deceitful and doesn't care about how morally reprobate her liar husband is…but intelligent? smart?
tom daschle concerned on November 15, 2012 at 10:37 PM
There's a money angle for Buffett somewhere in all of this. He doesn't support any politician unless he can get a money reward out of it somehow, somewhere down the line. Buffett already owes a billion dollars on his NetJets operations where the company believes that it doesn't have to pay its fair share of aviation costs.
ExpressoBold on November 15, 2012 at 10:46 PM
At the rate she's aging, she'll look like Gollum in four years. Good luck.
"I don't see how you could have anybody better qualified,"
When did Buffet become senile?

Ripoff Report
Cricket8350 Marbach Rd. San Antonio, Texas USA
Cricket Manager Did not give me receipts for the 2 phones I bought. She claimed the company doesn't give receipts for items bought there. San Antonio Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On June 6 I went in to the Cricket store on Marbach Rd. and bought the Galaxy Express which was $249.00, by the time I was going to pay it went up to $440.00. I questioned it but was not given a explanation that made sense. I needed a phone so I bought it. I paid with my credit card and asked if I got my receipt and the manager said it was in the bag. I left. When I got home I noticed there was no receipt for my phone only for what I paid for my monthly service. I called the store and no one answered, in fact I kept calling for a week and no one ever answered. Well, a month later I was trying on clothes at a store and dropped my Galaxy and someone stole it in the store. I went back to cricket the next day to buy another phone, I could not afford another Galaxy so I picked the Nokia Windows phone. Again, I didn't get a receipt for the phone so I told her I would have to call the main office. I am still trying to contact someone at Cricket. Did I get scammed?

Stocks came off their lows in afternoon trading Monday after a sell-off sparked by an unexpected drop in Chinese exports.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.3%, the S&P 500 was down 0.2% while the Nasdaq slipped 0.1%. Volume was weak, down 4% on the Nasdaq and 20% lower on the NYSE compared with the same time Friday.
In the stock market today, U.S.-listed Chinese stocks took a hit after exports from China plunged 18% in February, fanning fears of a slowdown in the world's No. 2 economy.
Real estate website SouFun Holdings (SFUN) sank 3% in heavy volume. It's fallen 7% below a 95.49 buy point of a cup base, a point at which investors should cut losses.
Social media stock YY (YY) and NQ Mobile (NQ), a developer of mobile security software, pared early losses and were each down 4% in heavy volume. Pharmaceutical researcher WuXi Pharmatech (WX) also cut earlier losses and was down 2%.
On the plus side, Facebook (FB) climbed 3% to a new high in heavy volume after UBS analyst Eric Sheridan raised his price target on the stock to 90 from 72 on expectations for continued strong revenue growth. The social media giant is now 31% past a 54.93 buy point.
Investors should take profits in stocks that rise more than 20% above their buy points, as most stocks tend to correct at that point to form new bases.
A pair of leading biotech stocks also fared well. Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN) extended its early gains and jumped 6% in heavy volume after lifting its 2014 profit and revenue outlook.
Biogen Idec (BIIB) climbed 2%. Zacks Investment Research upgraded the stock to strong buy amid rising earnings estimates following strong Q4 earnings. Both Alexion and Biogen are out of buying range.

- - Cure For Seasickness? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/cruising-sailing-children/78492-cure-seasickness.html)
Cure For Seasickness?
I read an article many years ago by a father who was looking for a cure for the early season seasickness his kids experienced at the beginning of each sailing season. He and his wife didn't have that problem.
Then he wondered if the waterbed they slept in had anything to do with it. So at the end of the season he bought waterbeds for all the kids. When the next season came, none of the kids got sick.
I've had a waterbed for 40 years and the only time I've been seasick was one time when I was out too late, had too much to drink and went out early the next day in sloppy seas. :o
Hmmm ... I'm skeptical, but who knows. I'm sticking with Bonine - it's a lt cheaper than new waterbeds.
Have you heard about the new anti seasickness glasses?
I am not kidding :D even if you kind a look funny with one of those.
But I have also heard several reports that say that the thing work. Well if they did not work at least you will provide some good laughs to the rest of the crew:D
Lunettes anti-mal de mer - YouTube
Sea sickness glasses - Marine Warehouse Ltd
Voiles et Voiliers : Equipement - Boarding Ring : Des lunettes anti-mal de mer
Jokingly, a fellow gave me the best seasick advice I've ever heard. When asked, he says, "Pine apple."
You say, "Really? Pine apple works??"
He says, "It doesn't prevent seasickness, it doesn't cure seasicknes..."
after a significant pause he completes, "... But it tastes the same coming up as it did going down."
Although funny, it is logical advice.
I have a full flotation waterbed. And when one person moves, everyone moves. Now I don't know if that dad's report and my experience have any scientific value but if you think about all the motion your body experiences in a full flotation waterbed, maybe there's something to it.
I have heard some people say the full flotation waterbed gets them seasick. Hmmmmm.... But what I do know is all the waterbed stores that used to be around here have long vanished. Maybe there wasn't enough of a profit margin as most of us hippie era kids built our own frames and just bought the $50 mattress. :cool:
Happy sloshing!
But boy, if you chew it rather than take it like a regular pill, it tastes nasty!:p
Ginger, natural and tasty, best taken before leaving the dock.
The last instructor I sailed with swore by it.
Probably not as much fun as a waterbed tho.
Safe sailing
I've always heard that the best cure for seasickness is to stand under a tree.
I second ginger. Peel it and slice it wafer thin. store a bunch of it in a ziplock. small sliver between your cheek and gum occasionally crunch down on it and it settles your stomach quickly. tastes peppery though not what you would expect.

Napier teenager Sonja Murray will wave goodbye to the dream job as the last of Marineland's mammals jet off to new homes in Australia.
She was 12 when she first connected, swimming with the dolphins, as the public could do in those days.
It was about then a trainer suggested she become a volunteer keeper as Napier's former tourism cornerstone turned into some sort of marine life retirement village.
"Highly exciting when you're a 12-year-old at Tamatea High School," she said yesterday, seven years later.
Marineland's dolphins are now a thing of the past and remaining sea lions and seals are on their last public Napier fling before being quarantined ahead of their transtasman migration.
Regulations require 120 days in quarantine for sea lions Orion and Dakota, aged 16 and 9 respectively, before they depart for Sea World on Queensland's Gold Coast. Likewise fur seals Molly (the 13-year-old eldest resident), Ollie, Mr Bo Jangles, Pania, Iha and Mako, being dispersed among Coffs Harbour's Dolphin Marine Magic, Taronga Zoo in Sydney, and Melbourne Zoo.
The now 19-year-old Miss Murray, whose grandfather still talks about the days he was a zookeeper at Wellington 40-or-so years ago, apparently her own umbilical to the care of animal life, clearly would like to be going with them.
She's been at it part- or full- time about five years and said: "It was definitely the dream job."
"I plan to follow this line of work," she said.
But it's unlikely she'll be worrying about the scientifics of university study, and equally unlikely the future is in New Zealand.
"I like the practical stuff," she said. "But there's not too much in this industry here. It's all overseas."
Like current senior supervisor Regan Beckett, who has been at Marineland longer than any of the remaining mammals, Miss Murray at least does get four months to say her goodbyes to the "pinniped" population, possibly longer if there are any hitches along the way.
To meet Australian requirements, they will have to change to treated water and be blood-tested to ensure they're not transporting any unwanted bugs, and they'll be microchipped, so they're properly identified in accordance with registration with national stud books, DoC, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the US Department of Commerce: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
It will be overseen by consultant veterinarian Mike Lintott, of Napier's Carlyle Veterinary Clinic, andonly authorised people will be allowed to be with the mammals.
Napier City Council tourism services manager Neil Fergus said if issues developed, such as those that might come from blood test results, the quarantine could be longer, and the programme could have to start again.
Mr Beckett says he, too, will miss the animals, but he's pleased they're going to good homes.
"They've been accepted into some amazing zoos," he said.
With the facilities of Marineland well-worn, the Mayor of Napier, Bill Dalton, said the future accommodation would be be "a bit like being upgraded from a tired motel room to a suite at the Hilton."
The quarantine represents the wind-down of Marineland which attracted thousands to its performing dolphin shows after opening 49 years ago, a must-stop on any family holiday in Hawke's Bay.
Among the visitors was the Queen in 1970, when the turnstiles clicked past one million, but a long and painful demise has been around since 1983, when a permit to catch dolphin was cancelled, the situation more pronounced after the Minister of Conservation turned down an application to catch six dolphin and a leopard seal to replenish the ageing marine troupe.
Save Marineland battles have continued despite closure of the park to the public in 2008, and current proposals to replace the pools are skatepark, reef garden, amphitheatre and carpark as part of the council's redevelopment of Marine Parade as a playground for "kids of all ages."
The relocation of Marineland's stock was given qualified approval yesterday by the executive director of animal confinement opponents SAFE.
Hans Kriek, of Christchurch, said that "unfortunately" the animals which had been kept in captivity could not be returned to the wild, because they would struggle to survive in the new environment.
The Marineland closure was long overdue, he said, adding the average life expectancy of its dolphins had been well less than the average for the dolphin population, showing the facilities had never been suitable.
"It's been a long process," he said. "But it's been inevitable."

The Packers host the Cleveland Browns in Saturday night's preseason opener, but they spent most of the 11-on-11 work on Tuesday night preparing for the first four regular season games.
With the Packers opening against Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Minnesota before the bye week, Green Bay will see a steady diet of 4-3 defenses to start the year.
"We worked a little bit of Browns, a little bit some opponents for early in the season," coach Mike McCarthy said. "The conversation is really, we've gone so much offense against the 3-4, we want to get some four-man line work. You think going back to it would be easy because we've seen so much in the past, but frankly, we didn't handle it very well. So, I'm glad we did it offensively. I thought the defense was pretty sharp."
What McCarthy saw, for the most part, didn't please him.
"I'm faking it," McCarthy said when it was pointed out that he appeared to be in a good mood. "I wasn't very happy with the practice. I didn't think it was very good. But there's days when you walk off the field and you don't think it's very good, and you watch the film and it's better than your thought. That's what I'm hopeful for."
One-man punting battle
Durant Brooks didn't punt with what McCarthy called a tight hip flexor. It's hard to say whether he lost any ground in his battle with Jeremy Kapinos.
Kapinos got all 10 punts from the defense's 40-yard line. In all, four were touchbacks, including the first two. Jarrett Bush downed one at the 4, James Jones was unable to prevent a touchback, Will Blackmon downed punts at the 2 and 4, and three were fielded at the 9-, 10- and 7-yard lines.
The injury is the same one that led to Brooks' demise after six games as a rookie last season in Washington.
Jackson returns
Running back Brandon Jackson, who had missed the last eight practices, was back in action, bolstering a group that had been down to three players for the last few practices. The fresh legs were evident as he ran through the defense during a screens-and-deception period early in practice.
"Good to have Brandon back," McCarthy said. "I thought he did a nice job. Our numbers at the running back and outside linebacker are a little thin, so hopefully we can get healthy tomorrow and get ready for the Browns."
Also returning were five players who got the morning off: defensive end Cullen Jenkins, nose tackle Ryan Pickett, left tackle Chad Clifton, center Scott Wells and safety Atari Bigby. Still out were outside linebackers Jeremy Thompson (groin and shoulder), Clay Matthews III (hamstring) and Brad Jones (back, PUP), inside linebacker Nick Barnett (knee, PUP), receivers Ruvell Martin (groin) and Patrick Williams (hamstring), defensive ends Justin Harrell (back), Johnny Jolly (ankle) and B.J. Raji (holdout), running back DeShawn Wynn (knee) , tight end Tory Humphrey (broken forearm) and cornerback Pat Lee (back).
Reserve guard-center Duke Preston exited after getting rolled up late in practice but McCarthy said the trainers weren't concerned.
Raji leaves Green Bay
For the first 11 days, first-round pick B.J. Raji stayed in Green Bay while waiting to sign a contract. Without a contract in hand, Raji reportedly flew out of town on Tuesday night.
With the picks before (No. 8 Eugene Monroe) and after (No. 10 Michael Crabtree) still unsigned, Raji and his representatives no doubt felt like there was no point in hanging around.
"Frustrating for everybody I'm sure. Certainly for us and I'm sure for B.J. and his representatives," general manager Ted Thompson said at a midday news conference. "It's continual dialogue, and it's ongoing."
There is no practice on Wednesday, with the players getting the day off after lifting weights, a couple hours of meetings and lunch. There are two practices on Thursday (8:45 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.). Friday's practice is closed to fans and reporters ahead of Saturday night's game against Cleveland.

While the momentum behind potential WiFi standard Wigig looks virtually unstoppable, it has a rival (of sorts) who is also making major moves...
WirelessHD has announced the availability of v1.1 (renamed from the more confusing WirelessHD 2.0 we saw at CES in January) and brings with it performance optimisation, support for common industry 3D formats and 4K resolutions (over 4096 pixels horizontally compared to 1920 in 1080p), reduced power requirements and HDCP 2.0 content protection.
As you might have guessed by this feature list WirelessHD isn't exactly next generation WiFi akin to WiGig, but is instead more focused on home entertainment systems and replacing the need for HDMI cables. It is also more restrictive in range preferring line of sight connections, but is happy with NLOS (non line of sight) distances of up to 10m.
Despite this I say "rival of sorts" because like WiGig it uses the same 60GHz band and whereas WiGig can reach a theoretical maximum up to an incredible seven gigabits per second, WirelessHD can top out at up to 28 gigabits per second. Mind blowing.
So are we about to get caught up in a format war since - despite different emphasis - the two do seem to overlap? Hopefully no, because 60GHz innovator SiBEAM has also today announced the industry's first dual mode WirelessHD/WiGig chipset meaning both can happily co-exist and stick to their specialities. The chipset is availability immediately to manufacturers and SiBEAM will be hoping for widespread adoption in the latest home cinema products from its partners which include Panasonic, LG, Sony and Toshiba.
So will we...

Male lawmakers should not even vote on abortion.
That was Alan Simpson's position before the Wyoming Republican retired from the Senate -- and it still is.
Abortion is a "terrible" and "hideous thing," as I recently heard him reiterate in a seminar on the federal budget at Harvard's Shorenstein Center. "But it's a deeply intimate and personal thing. ... Men legislators shouldn't even vote on it."

Lakeisha's Bio
Hell My name is Lakeisha Williams.I have been married for 7 years and have 4 children.Are you looking for some one to help with caring for that wonderful Elderly person in your life. I am that person. Why send them to a Nursing home to feel forgotten and abandon? According to the MetLife Market Survey of Nursing Home and Assisted Living Costs, the average cost of a private bed in a nursing home facility is $219 per day, which computes to over $79,000 per year. For those patients who are in a semi-private room, the average cost is $191 per day, or about $70,000 annually. Why Spend all that money for a service and not know exactly what's going on with that person you love. Statistically Senior Citizens are happier and live longer when taken care at home. They feel more independent and a lot safer. Nursing homes carry all type of possible problems. Think about it, there are several patients they have to take care of at a time. This in turn can make the employees aggravated, uncaring, and distant. Which also leads to abuse, Neglect, and safety issues. Our Senior citizens doesn't deserve less than adequate care . They have paved the way for us in our lives and deserve one on one attention from a direct care worker. My duties include: Personal Hygiene *Helping with bathing and brushing teeth and hair. Dietary Care *Cooking healthy meals and snacks *Helping with feeding if needed *I will document what was eaten Cleaning( I am not a maid nor housekeeper) *Making sure the client is in a clean environment at all times *Bed making *clean dishes and kitchen *clean restroom *Laundry services (for client only) Medical reminders *make sure client takes medication on time *I will keep up with Doctor appointment and take them *Can track medical vital(Blood pressure, temperature ) Emotional Support(most importantly) *Talking *watch client favorite programs *exercise *Listening Fee 450/week m-f days 8am -8pm or until needed 10/hr If needed under 10hrs for the day 10/hr on weekends 8am -2pm I hope you chose me for your Direct care worker and I'm looking forward to working with you and your Special someone in your life.

Tannehill rolled out of the pocket, scrambled to the right and as he was approaching the sideline floated a pass over linebacker Gary Guyton right into the arms of Fasano.
"It was really impressive," Fasano said. "It was a great touch pass on the run. I've said it all along and I think everyone has said it, he doesn't really play like a rookie quarterback. It's a great sign to see and he's only going to get better."
Tannehill had the best day of the three quarterbacks battling for the starting job. During the scrimmage portion of practice, he was 8-for-10 for 77 yards. Returning starter Matt Moore was 5-for-10 for 25 yards, and veteran free agent acquisition David Garrard was 7-for-12 for 50 yards.
Moore and Garrard both threw touchdown passes during a goal-line drill, Moore hitting Fasano and Garrard connecting with Legedu Naanee.
Fourth quarterback Pat Devlin also threw a touchdown pass to Rishard Matthews in team drills late in the practice. Matthews scored on a comeback with tight coverage a few plays after making a nice catch in traffic near the sideline.
But the focus, as it has been, since training camp opened, was on the quarterbacks.
Moore had the toughest day of the three quarterbacks, even though it must be pointed that in his first three series he was working with the second-team offense against the first-team defense.
Still, Moore managed only one first down in three consecutive drives early in the scrimmage, and he also went three-and-out when the offense was given the ball at the defense's 26-yard line.
None of the quarterbacks threw an interception, although Garrard caught a break when Legedu Naanee took the ball out of the hands of cornerback Nolan Carroll on an ill-advised throw and Tannehill caught a break when safety Reshad Jones dropped a ball in the end zone that Tannehill threw into double coverage.
"Overall, I thought we did a pretty good job," Garrard said. "We were moving the ball. When we get down to the red zone, we've got to be able to punch it in more often. For the first scrimmage I was happy with my play, but know I can always do better."
Coach Joe Philbin said he might be getting closer to giving one of his quarterbacks more first-team snaps, but would reserve judgment until after reviewing tape of the practice.
Philbin also couldn't point out anybody who stood out in the scrimmage, but he did say he liked what he saw from Tannehill.
"He showed good poise," Philbin said. "It doesn't look too big for him here in the stadium and with coaches on the side and plays coming down from the coordinators upstairs and through that whole communication process. I was yelling on the touchdown pass, 'Run, run, run,' and then he threw a touchdown."
On Tannehill's first play of the scrimmage, he faked a handoff before barely overthrowing Naanee on a deep ball.
Philbin said there was a "little bit" of a message in the play call.
"We've said all along you've got to believe in your players," Philbin said. "So if this guy's going to be playing for us and he's going to be the future for us potentially at some point in time, or whoever our quarterback is, you've got to have faith. If a play's in the plan and in the offense it should be good enough to run."
Tannehill's first two series came with the first-team offense working against the second-team defense. He worked with the second-team offense in his one series against the first-team defense, and was sacked by Cameron Wake on third-and-10 after dropping a shotgun snap.
"Definitely some things to improve," Tannehill said. "I dropped a snap on a third-down play. We had a great chance to get a first down. Can't do that obviously. But it was fun. It was a real good first scrimmage action, get out there, get the tempo of a game, the flow of a game and have a good drive. I had a lot of fun."
The Dolphins will have the day off on Sunday before resume practice on Monday morning.
The scrimmage actually started an hour earlier than scheduled because of the threat of inclement weather.
That never materialized, though, and the sun shines throughout the morning.
"As you can tell, we're real experts at the weather," Philbin joked. "That was my call. Some people wanted to stay over at Davie. That's the great part about being a meteorologist, nobody can second-guess you. You can say, 'Oh, the clouds came and went.' It was my brilliant decision as you can tell. (It) didn't work out, though."

A new $200 million charitable fund set up by casino billionaire
The National Philanthropic Fund, which will be funded equally by Crown and the Packer family, was launched on Tuesday at Crown's Melbourne casino.
Gretel Packer, who was accompanied by daughter Francesca and mother Ros, said the fund built on the "philanthropic legacy" of her mother and late father Kerry.
"Philanthropy has always been a part of our family life – sometimes private, sometimes public, but always there," she told the audience.
Guests at Crown included Jeanne Pratt, advertising guru Harold Mitchell, Sussan Group chief executive Naomi Milgrom,
The fund will distribute money for 10 years.
Half of the money will be directed to indigenous education and community welfare, while the rest will go to the arts.
Of the amount set aside for the arts, $60 million has already been accounted for in a pledge made to 10 Sydney arts institutions in November.
That gift came after Crown received approval from the NSW government for its $1.5 billion casino and hotel to be built on Sydney Harbour.
James Packer, the Crown Resorts' chairman whose personal wealth of $6 billion makes him Australia's third richest person, said in a statement that his sister was the "driving force" behind the establishment of the new fund.
The fund will be jointly administered by the Crown foundation, which is chaired by former Liberal senator
Coonan says the family "deserves public recognition for the kind of work it does right across the community".
Initial recipients of new funding include the Melbourne Theatre Company, which will get $2.5 million to offer subsidised theatre tickets to children from disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as Father Bob Maguire's foundation and The Salvation Army.
The philanthropic gesture follows the establishment of a $100 million education fund by

A satellite about the size of a loaf of bread will be designed and built at the University of Michigan and deployed to study space weather, thanks to a new grant from the National Science Foundation.
Undergraduate and graduate students will be heavily involved in this Radio Aurora Explorer (RAX) project, led by the University of Michigan and SRI International, a California-based independent research and technology development organization.
This CubeSat, as it's called, will be the first free-flying spacecraft built in part by U-M students. Members of the Student Space Systems Fabrication Laboratory (S3FL) will play an important role. S3FL is an organization that gives students practical space systems design and fabrication experience.
"I'm extremely excited about the student involvement. They will be an integral part of the team," said James Cutler, assistant professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and a principal investigator on the project.
CubeSats, developed about five years ago, are approximately four-inch cube-shaped devices that launch from inside a P-Pod, a special rocket attachment that was developed by California Polytechnic State University and Stanford University. There is a growing interest in CubeSats as they offer relatively inexpensive and simpler access to space. The RAX satellite will essentially be made of three CubeSats.
The RAX will measure the energy flow in the ionosphere, the highest part of Earth's atmosphere where solar radiation turns regular atoms into charged particles. Disturbances in the ionosphere can affect earth-to-space communications such as GPS signals, digital satellite television and voice and data transmission systems including Iridium and Globalstar.
"This project will help us better understand space weather processes, how the Earth and Sun interact, and how this weather produces noise in space communication signals—noise that translates to lower quality telecommunications capabilities and error in GPS signals," Cutler said.
The RAX satellite will act as a receiver that will pick up signals from a ground radar transmitter. These radar pulses will reflect off disturbances, or space weather phenomena, in the ionosphere.
RAX is scheduled for launch in December 2009. This will be a milestone for Kiko Dontchev, program manager in M-Cubed, the S3FL team that will be working with Cutler.
Dontchev, a master's student in space engineering, has been involved in S3FL since he was a freshman at U-M. Last year, he started the M-Cubed project with other students because they wanted to see the launch of a satellite they worked on. M-Cubed is designing a CubeSat that can take high resolution photos of earth, but it doesn't have a launch date yet.
"It's pretty incredible that we'll build and design a spacecraft that will actually fly," Dontchev said. "This project ensures that Michigan will have a profound footprint in the CubeSat community."

Alberta Health Queue-Jumping Inquiry: Nurse Opened Closed Clinic To Give Flu Shot To Friends, Family
CALGARY -- An Edmonton nurse says she opened a closed clinic to give pandemic flu shots to staff, friends and relatives because she didn't want the vaccine to go to waste.
Susan Smith has told Alberta's provincial queue-jumping inquiry that the city's mass public clinics had closed for a few days in 2009 due to a national shortage of the H1N1 vaccine.
She said some mixed, already-open vaccine vials were in a refrigerator at the Boonie Doon Public Health Centre, but they were soon going to go bad.
She decided to give some of the remaining vaccine to 15 people, eight of them children.
She said she felt it was the right thing to do and didn't tell any managers.
At the time, thousands of people were waiting in line for hours at clinics to get the shots.
