Bellville Times
Barbara Ann (Jones) Borgeson died December 4 at the age of 82 in Bellville after a long bout with illness. Mrs. Borgeson was born to Harry Clippinger Jones and Zola Frances Colwell Conrad in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1923. She leaves her husband of 61 years, Earl C. Borgeson of Bellville; their three children -- Barbara (Bobi) Borgeson and Geoffrey Borgeson of Bellville, and Steven Borgeson of Sherborn, Mass.; five grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. Mrs. Borgeson also leaves her half-brother, Doug Jones of St. Louis, Missouri; and three nephews -- Warren Witt of Southlake, Texas, Fred Witt of Osseo, Minnesota and Nolan Jones of Sugar Land, Texas as well as one niece, Michelle Pratt of St. Louis. Mrs. Borgeson was preceded in death by her parents and only sister, Mary Louise Jones Witt. From 1958 to 1970, the Borgesons lived in Sudbury, Mass., where Mrs. Borgeson was an active community volunteer. She worked in the Sudbury public schools doing eye and ear testing, served as a deaconess at the Memorial Congregational Church, and devoted countless hours as a volunteer and spectator for the Sudbury Little League. She also worked part-time at Country Living, a classic clothing store. Following eight years in Palo Alto and Pasadena, California, Mr. and Mrs. Borgeson moved to Dallas in 1978 where Mr. Borgeson served for 10 years as Professor of Law and Director of the Underwood Law Library at Southern Methodist University School of Law. The Borgesons volunteered as "host family" for several students from Taiwan and the People's Republic of China who were studying at the SMU Law School and welcomed them into their home and family. During this time, Mrs. Borgeson worked at Clothes Circuit, a women's clothing resale shop. She also made three trips to Singapore to visit her daughter and two of her grandsons. Upon their retirement in 1988, the Borgesons moved to Bella Vista, Arkansas, prior to their return to Massachusetts. They settled in Ashland and then Sherborn. They were fixtures on the sidelines of their grandchildren's soccer, baseball, and softball games in Sherborn and frequent visitors to Sunshine Dairy and C&L Frosty. Mrs. Borgeson, an avid mystery reader, often carried a Mrs. Polifax novel with her for between innings entertainment reading. A memorial service was conducted Tuesday, December 6, 2005 at Knesek Family Funeral Chapels, Bellville. Contributions in lieu of flowers may be made in Mrs. Borgeson's name to the Houston chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, 2909 W. Holcombe Blvd., Houston, TX 77025 or online at www.alztex.org

The Foundation for Hair Restoration is committed to providing the very finest in hair restoration in an ethical, professional, and safe environment.
While a personal consultation with Dr. Epstein in his Miami and New York City office is not always possible, many of our patients have their consultation via the Internet. Your entire procedure can be planned without meeting Dr. Epstein in person until the day of or day before your procedure – rather, by sending photographs along with information about yourself including your goals. You will be assigned a patient advisor who will guide you through the entire process and arrange for Dr. Epstein or Dr. Bared – the choice is yours – to evaluate your photos and/or to have a Skype® webcam consultation. In either case, your entire procedure can be planned through a combination of personal emails, webcams, and/or phone calls with the doctor and your patient advisor. Your visit to our web site is a great learning experience – providing you with the opportunity to learn about the work being done for individuals like yourself, by the Foundation for Hair Restoration, and to see just how good you can look.
Earning our Unsurpassed Reputation Through Consistent Hair Growth and Exceptional Naturalness, One Patient at a Time
An overwhelming majority of our patients achieve outstanding, industry leading regrowth percentages of transplanted hairs. With that said, in the area of medicine results are not fully predictable- this is true in hair transplantation as well. By adhering to the very highest standards, our typical FUG and FUE patients experience a hair growth rate of 95% ON AVERAGE, results that match or exceed the leaders in this profession and have donor site scars that heal as fine lines measuring 1-2 mm in width or narrower in 90% of cases, and in the case of FUE, tiny dot scars that are undetectable in over 70% of patients even with the head shaved. To help assure the very best results, Dr. Epstein has a team of 15 full-time hair assistants, who average working with Dr. Epstein for over 10 years! These assistants are professionals, committed to perfection, and caring and kind. In our annual patient satisfaction surveys, patients rate their hair transplant experience to be a positive or extremely positive overall experience 97% of the time. In addition and this is perhaps where we stand out, Dr. Epstein's reputation is for creating undetectable, natural appearing hairlines.
The FHR hair assistants each have specialized roles. Some are graft dissectors, working under the microscope to cut every graft. Several are "sliver-ers", carefully dividing the donor strip into thin slivers one follicular unit wide, to assure the lowest percentage of hair transection. Some of the most experienced assistants meaning 8 or more years with Dr. Epstein are planters, intimately familiar with how Dr. Epstein distributes the one, two, and three hair grafts to achieve the most natural appearance. There are also specialized assistants at the FHR who assist him in extracting FUE grafts, as well as performing eyebrow and beard transplants, delicate procedures in which Dr. Epstein specializes, all assuring patients the best results.
There is the rare patient who has a lower than expected rate of growth due to no fault of the doctor or patient. There is even a scientific term for this event called the "X" factor which offers theories but no solid explanation for its occurrence. We are 100% committed to your complete satisfaction as a patient, which helps to explain our positive feedback, continued growth, and an impressive list of patient referrals with which you may speak.

With today being our last day of ministry work while here, we got an early start in order to fit in three different service opportunities instead of the typical two (as well as a trip to the market to buy souvenirs/gifts/random items). The morning was dedicated to visiting another village, where we again walked door to door distributing food and Bibles. We also took the opportunity to pray with each family, and many of the team members were deeply moved by some of the stories and prayer requests the people shared.
In the afternoon we were able to make a return visit to the orphanage we visited on Friday to spend a little more time with the children, and the late afternoon / early evening was dedicated to another village visit to play with children, distribute clothes, goodie bags, and baseball/softball supplies as well as share testimonies and the gospel.
I dare say without a doubt though that the high moment of the day occurred after we returned to Denny's tonight. We came together one final time as a group for a time of Bible study, prayer, and worship, and the presence of the the Spirit was clearly present as we sang praises to our great God for what He has done this past week, followed by a moving time of prayer for each other, those whom we have encountered this week, and the city of Santiago.
At this time tomorrow, barring extreme flight delays or other such circumstances, we will all be back in our homes. And while it will be an incredibly joyful time to be reunited with our loved ones, I can say with certainty that a large portion of our collective heart will remain with the people of La Republica Dominicana.

Publication Year: 2012
Extensive attention is paid to the role of women as well as the dominant social and kinship structures undergirding Punjabi Sikh society, many of which have been widely transplanted through Sikh migration. The migration patterns are themselves examined, with particular focus on Sikh communities in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. Finally, the volume concludes with a brief exploration of Sikhs and the Internet and the future of Sikhism.
10 illus.
Published by: University of Hawai'i Press
Series: Dimensions of Asian Spirituality
Editor's Preface
The University of Hawai'i Press has long been noted for its scholarly publications in, and commitment to, the field of Asian studies. This series, Dimensions of Asian Spirituality, is in keeping with that commitment. It is a most appropriate time for such a series. ...
Let me begin by thanking Henry Rosemont for his kind invitation to contribute to the Dimensions of Asian Spirituality series, an invitation that came with clearly defined boundaries, equally clear expectations of the series as a whole, alongside concise guidelines accompanying each volume in the series. ...
The idea for this book came while I was listening to a concert in Delhi highlighting some of the ancient musical instruments of India, in particular the rabaab, a stringed instrument of exquisite sound and beauty. Its haunting notes transported me back five hundred years to the very beginnings of the religion ...
Chapter 1 The Sources of the Sikh Tradition
Scholars of Sikhism generally turn to the Sikh scripture known as the Adi Granth (Original Volume). Sikhs refer to this scripture as the Guru Granth Sahib or Sri Guru Granth Sahib. They view their scripture as much more than a mere book; it is the abode of the gurus, the repository of the words of Akal Purakh ...
Chapter 2 Sikh History
The writing of history is a difficult, complex activity. Different assessments of what is historically accurate tend to offer varied accounts of what actually took place in a particular community or religion. For historians, the factuality of an incident or event is obviously central. Attempts are made to analyze ...
Chapter 3 Sikh Beliefs, Institutions, and Rituals
Central to Sikh teachings is the belief in the oneness of God. Yet the Sikh gurus used a variety of names for the divine from both the Hindu and Muslim traditions. Common names for the Ultimate used by the gurus included Formless One, Nirgun, and Akal Purakh, Eternal Being. According to their teachings, ...
Chapter 4 Sikh Society
Visitors to Punjab are often amazed at the warmth and openness of its people. My family and I have been welcomed into strangers' homes and enjoyed hearty meals cooked on the spot for us on countless occasions. The work ethic that Punjabis take great pride in is apparent as one drives through the thriving farmlands ...
Chapter 5 The Sikh Diaspora
This chapter examines the three countries with the largest Sikh communities outside Punjab, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, with emphasis on key landmarks of Sikh migration to each of these host countries. I begin with a brief overview of a number of dominant characteristics of Sikh diasporic ...
Chapter 6 Sikh Diversity
There have been differences in Sikh identity and Sikh loyalties since the time of the living gurus. Although the Khalsa Sikh identity has often been presented as normative and the only authentic expression of what constitutes Sikh identity, there is no such consensus in this regard among Sikhs. The term "sect" is often applied ...
Chapter 7 Conclusion: Sikhs in the Twenty-first Century
Sikhism in the twenty-first century is entering a new era that promises to be both challenging and rewarding. In terms of numbers, Sikhism has now replaced Judaism as the fifth largest religion worldwide. The regional character of Sikhism is being altered by characteristic migration patterns of Sikhs worldwide. ...

Sailing on international waters allows sailors liberties that can't be taken on land, such as marrying a video game, naming a dog a swearword, or rebroadcasting NFL games without the written consent of the league. Go above the law with this Groupon.

All Points of Sail Sailing School
An affiliate school of the American Sailing Association, All Points of Sail Sailing School teaches students of all levels how to sail with confidence under the tutelage of experienced guides and instructors. Instructors sprinkle landlubbers with the knowledge necessary to tear through the water on any size vessel, ranging from large-keel boats to windsurfing boards and kayaks. The school's diverse coterie of courses covers crucial nautical subjects, including sailing certification, coastal navigation, chartering, and night sailing. The expert captains also lead charters through the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay as well as summer camps in which kids man kayaks and Sunfish sailboats to gain hands-on practice, which is believed to be the second-best teacher after self-hypnosis.

Date of Stay: June, 2014
Located 5 miles from Yosemite National Park. 30 amp, water & sewer available at sites. Just installed 50amp sites in June, 2014. Some shaded sites along fish-able river. Numerous sites in open areas. Non-TT members stay in separate area. Extremely poor, terribly slow WiFi, even in the lodge. No cell service available. Need to drive 20 miles to Groveland for service. Convenience store with over-priced essentials located on-site. Enjoyed our stay and would return.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
Big swimming pool, some sites are shaded, some sites have 50 amp ($5/day extra), outdoor movies on summer Friday nights. Most sites are close together. Roads are dirt and create a lot of dust. No sewer @ site - dump station (free) & honey wagon ($25) is available. Power failed at pedestal. Maintenance had to fix it twice. Camp fires allowed in your own portable fire pit only if conditions are not too dry. See wild turkeys at dusk in field next door. Will not accept mail. All is returned to sender.

CAUTION: VERY LOW VOLTAGE - can damage your electrical equipment when you plug in. Voltage dropped down to 97 - had to unplug from pedestal and run inverter from batteries to watch TV. 50amp sites and sewer sites are extremely limited - none were available. Otherwise, nicely wooded park, generally private sites, big pool, hot tub, bathrooms/showers seemed clean, dirt roads. Close to town and Fred Meyers & Safeway for shopping. Sand dunes just down the street. Verizon is weak, but workable. Won't return until electricity is fixed.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
Not much more than a parking lot on the ocean, but very convenient to the city. Very tight parking spots. Many rusted trailers been there a long time. Premium sites with ocean views available, but with dry camping only. Small pool & hot tub available. Decent store with camping supplies on-site. Computer available for guest use. Clean (but expensive) laundry. If you have a rig larger than 32', call to reserve a specific spot big enough - otherwise, you may not fit. If you arrive after 5pm, staff is gone for the night - they leave your registration material at the door for you. Great drinking water. Rate reflects www.ReadyCampGo.com membership.
Date of Stay: April, 2014
Large RV park. Tents are allowed, although a few tent-only sections are permanently closed due to lack of use/maintenance. Many power pedestals are in very poor condition. Some sites are closed due to poor power - and are marked. Dirt roads create a lot of dust - even when a squirrel runs across. Nearly all sites that had any views were taken by seasonal/annual residents. The lodge was locked-up and closed in April. Laundry was very clean. A little convenience store is on-site. Pools are available, but a long distance from some areas of the park. Limited shopping in town.
Date of Stay: April, 2014
Located at 7100' elevation. Pretty drive to get there, but the road is narrow & hilly. Watch for tree branches that hang over the road. The campground offers tall mature trees, but there is no privacy between sites. Sites are generally smaller - could be difficult to find available sites that fit RVs larger than 36'. Very limited sewer sites are available. Dump station (free) and honey wagon ($25) are available. Decent Verizon cell service available at the top of the park. Some tourist shopping is available in town.

Over the past few weeks, I have been paying a lot of attention to the idea of education here in Haiti. As a teacher, I am always interested in seeing how other cities and states "do" education, so I was hoping to gain some perspective while in this country as well. First I think that it is important for you to know that in Haiti, an education is a privilege, not a right. There are so few free public schools here, which are run quite poorly according to the locals, that the only real choice for a good education is a private school. Just like in the states, these private schools cost money. This happens to be something that many Haitian families struggle with. As Americans, some of us make the choice to send our kids to private school because we want what is best for them, not because there simply is no room at the private school. Because of this, going to school here is only seen as an option for some. Even with this being said, it is also very evident in the Haitian culture that having an education is really the only way to make a decent living in the conditions in which they live. While some families struggle to have money for clothes and food, they still find it important that in some way, they can send their children to school.
Our first week being in Limbe, we were given the opportunity to visit an orphanage and school called "Drops of Love". I was very interested to see how the leaders run their school program. I was surprised to hear that all of the children speak English. I was also happy to hear that the thirty children in the orphanage are taught by learning level. It seems that it would be easier and less expensive to just have all of the children in the same room at the same time learning the same thing, but they understand the importance of teaching each child to their own level and giving them the best education possible. The school room did not have many supplies, but I felt that a lot of learning and loving takes place in that room every day. I immediately felt at home in this classroom and was happily welcomed to come back anytime I would like to help teach. Although I am not sure about this possibility, I am still interested in learning ways that I can help this classroom in this orphanage to be the best that it can be. These kids truly touched my heart during my short visit. As we left the orphanage, a little girl named Maria who had been holding my hand and tugging on me the whole time, whispered in my ear, "You are like my sister. I love you." If anyone is interested in helping the "Drops of Love" orphanage, please email me.
My next experience with the educational structure here in Haiti was when I met my new friends Guy, Jeff, and Jon Wesley. Through our time together, they explained to our Ignite team their struggles with education. Often growing up, they would wake up and walk hours to school just to get there and have no teacher. This happened over and over again and in return, the boys would go a whole school year without making the gains that they needed to. However, even if these boys were not given the people or resources that they needed to succeed, they were still expected to take the national educational exam at the end of the school year that would allow them to move onto the next grade. Because of this, the boys tried their hardest over and over again but are still ages 18, 19, and 24 and have not finished high school. Their next national exam is Monday, July 15th, 2012. I was given the privilege of being able to work with these three boys to help prepare them for their English grammar exam. The willingness in their hearts and the light in their eyes when learning something new reminded me of my students at home learning something for the first time. They were so attentive to my directions and always willing to try what I was asking them to do. For the past few weeks, the boys have been studying when they have electricity in their houses and then are up hours into the night studying under the street lights, spending every minute of spare time to prepare themselves for this test. I was truly humbled by their dedication even in the conditions that they have been through. They are persevering and will never give up on their dreams. Please pray for these boys next week as they start their tests.
Reading about the best ways to help people while here has shown me that in most situations, it is better to help a struggling person's "poverty of self" than their "material poverty". It's kind of like the story that it is better to teach someone to fish than to give them a fish. I hope that helping these boys to get ready for their exams and giving them the confidence that they need to succeed is doing just this. There are a lot of things that have surprised, confused, and shocked me here in Haiti, but these boys' willingness to learn even in these conditions, I truly admire.

While preparing for Penn State's Oct. 3 meeting with Florida State in the Orange Bow, Robinson told FOS he would be playing quarterback in the Senior Bowl. Though he was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year at the position, some pro scouts believe he will be a better fit at running back, receiver or even defensive back in the NFL.
Hali was a consensus All-American has a senior for the Nittany Lions, when his 11 sacks paced the Big Ten.
Zemaitis was a first-team All-Conference selection and led the league with six interceptions.
Phillips started every game for Penn State in 2005 and broke up 10 passes on the season.
It was previously announced that three other Lion seniors — safety Calvin Lowry, as well as defensive linemen Scott Paxson and Matthew Rice — will play in the Jan. 21 Hula Bowl in Hawaii.

A teenager who brutally attacked an 81-year-old woman during a daylight robbery has been sent to jail after the Court of Appeal quashed his original sentence of home detention.
Darren Murphy Fidow was 18 when he robbed Patricia Sutcliffe of her bag at a West Auckland shopping mall in 2011.
Mrs Sutcliffe suffered a broken hip and arm when Fidow ran up behind her as she walked to her car and tackled her to the ground before wrenching her handbag away.
At the time of the robbery, Fidow was on bail facing burglary charges.
Mrs Sutcliffe, now 83, spent more than three months in hospital, is still in constant pain and can no longer walk without a crutch.
In February, Judge Philippa Cunningham sentenced Fidow to nine months' home detention for the attack, to be served at a drug and alcohol treatment facility.
But the Court of Appeal has overturned the decision and sent Fidow to jail for two years and four months.
Yesterday, Mrs Sutcliffe said she was thrilled that justice had been served. "That serves him right. I hope he suffers like he's made me suffer - and I'm certainly still suffering in this cold weather with my bad hip.
"It's very good that he's not gotten off scot-free after all. I feel much safer knowing he will be locked away in jail."
The Solicitor-General appealed against the original sentence on the grounds that it was manifestly inadequate.
It was argued that Judge Cunningham had applied discounts at Fidow's sentencing for the "inappropriate purpose of reducing the length of prison sentence sufficiently to enable a substitute sentence of home detention to be imposed".
The Solicitor-General submitted that the sentencing "should not have been driven by that aim", and that Judge Cunningham did not assess the totality of the sentence for all Fidow's convictions before she considered the appropriateness of home detention for the specific offending against Mrs Sutcliffe.
The Court of Appeal ruling, issued yesterday, concluded that the sentencing process "miscarried" and Fidow should be resentenced.
"We are satisfied that a resentencing is warranted ... We are satisfied that standing on its own, the burglary warranted a starting point of one year's imprisonment.
"The final outcome on resentencing is therefore that the terms of home detention imposed by the sentencing judge are quashed and instead cumulative sentences totalling two years and four months' imprisonment are imposed."
It noted there was a "potential element of inhumanity" in sentencing a person to jail who had escaped imprisonment at the first instance.
"However, that result is justified when an error in principle warrants reconsideration of the entire sentencing exercise, and a sentence of imprisonment is the inevitable consequence of correcting that error."
Fidow must surrender himself to the registrar of the Auckland District Court by 10am on Monday. From there he will be taken to prison.

Inventive materials
Plywood walls and yellow barn doors animate the light-filled interior, as do Western touches like leather door pulls and seat cushions, fabricated by a saddle maker. As a nod to the '50s—and to mellow the prefab feeling—Sandston used lots of texture, often with recycled or renewable materials, like the cork flooring in the kitchen. "We tried to leave everything as plain as possible," Sandston says. "You're not looking at anything glorified. You're looking at honest materials and honest function." The mobile dining table that Sandston topped with wild-edged, reclaimed walnut has a steel X-shaped base—a playful nod to traditional picnic furniture. The retro-style refrigerator is by Big Chill, and the warm-toned floors are eco-friendly cork.

How to Choose the Right Bit for Your Horse
Selecting the Right Style of Bit for Your Horse
Bits are designed for every discipline, ranging from very mild to brutal, depending on the manner in which they apply to the bars of the mouth (the soft tissue area located behind the front teeth that you can readily see), the tongue, and the roof of the mouth, with even the slightest touch of the rider's rein. In practice, it is best to stay with the gentlest bit possible while still getting the response needed from your horse.
Take the time to learn about the various types of bits. The different "families" of bits include the snaffle, gag, and curb. Research the "action" of each of these "families", and their common uses. The D-ring or Dee Ring bit (looks like a "D" from the sides), for example, is the most common type of English bit. The D-ring is part of the "snaffle bit family", and is one of the easiest bits on a horse, meaning it is less harsh than other bits.
If you have purchased the horse from a previous owner, find out as much about the horse as possible, including what type of bit, and size of bit was previously used on your horse.
Once you have decided what style of bit is best suited for your horse be sure to consider whether or not the style of bit has the potential of pinching or irritating the horse's mouth. Any bit that has a hinged attachment at the corners, such as the loose-ring snaffle, tom thumb, wonder bit, or any bit with a gag action (a bit that allows the mouthpieces to slide), has the potential to pinch and create sores, especially if the bit is incorrectly sized for your horse. Round rubber bit guards can be placed on each side of bit to eliminate/reduce pinching. If irritation does occur, allow the horse to rest several days, treat the wound(s) with a soothing antibiotic ointment, and implement the use of the rubber bit guards before further riding.
Proper Placement of the Bit:
The bit should sit over the bars of the mouth (the soft tissue area located behind the front teeth that you can readily see). When properly placed, it should appear that the corners of the horse's lips are being slightly lifted. Many people use the rule of "one wrinkle" at the corner of the mouth to determine proper placement. Adjusting the length of the headstall which attaches the bit to the bridle will raise or lower where the bit rests on the bars of his mouth. If the bit is set too low, it will knock against the horse's teeth, which is both uncomfortable for him and ineffective for the rider. If the bit is set too high, your horse will be strained (pinched) at the corners of his mouth. He will not only be uncomfortable, but he won't receive your signals well.
Measure for Proper Fit:
"One Size Does Not Fit All". After deciding on the right style of bit you will use it is very important that you now find the "Right Fit" for your horse's mouth. Many bit styles are manufactured in sizes of whole or half-inch increments, however, if the bit is not a perfect fit it will be worth your while to either, special order the correct size of bit for your horse or have it made. Rule #1 is measure your horse's mouth before you buy a bit.
To measure for bit size, use a piece (8" to 12" long) of soft rubber tubing, garden hose, ½ inch pvc, or similar item. Place the tubing in the horse's mouth horizontally, over the tongue and behind his teeth (in the same manner you would place the bit when bridling).
Once you have established the correct position, use a marker to indicate where the edge of the horse's lips meet the tubing on each side. Remove the tubing from his mouth and use a measuring tape to determine the length between the markings in inches. As a general rule, the bit size will need to be 1/4 of an inch longer than this measurement to allow enough room so that the extra width of the bit rings or shanks do not squeeze inward on the horse's mouth.
You may find that your final measurement including the additional 1/4" allowance is not a nice round number. Remember that this measurement it important, so if the resulting measurement is not a standard size, find a manufacturer who carries your bit in the correct size or is capable of custom-making one for your horse. It may take a little longer, but it is an investment that will pay off in the end.
Improper Bit Fit or Mouth Problems?
Signs of an Improperly Fitted Bit or Mouth Problem:
(Mouth problems or a reaction to a painful bit can cause a horse to appear to be resisting his rider)
1. Visible mouth or lip irritation indicates an improper fit of the bit or the need for bit guards.
2. Behaviors that indicate that your horse may be attempting to escape or avoid mouth pain. This could be due to a poorly fitted bit or a mouth / tooth problem.
All of these behaviors could indicate that the horse is attempting to escape or avoid pain.
- Frequent chomping at the bit
- Persistently hanging the mouth open
- Hanging out of the tongue
- Head shaking or tossing
- Carrying the head stiffly, with his nose high in the air (often with his jaw stretched open and chomping almost compulsively.
- Running away with his rider or leaning against pressure on the reins.
- Staying behind the bit; putting his nose into his chest and creating an unnatural / stiff bend in his neck.
3. If in doubt have your Vet examine your horse for any signs of problems with teeth, tongue or mouth problems.
4. A heavy handed rider could also invoke some of the symptoms in #2 above.

There aren't many al-Qaida fighters in Afghanistan anymore. Maybe 100, judging by most estimates. But the Marine general who recently ran the war in rugged southwestern Afghanistan says that Osama bin Laden's death will still have a major psychological impact on the insurgency.
Tactically, al-Qaida's support of Taliban fighters in provinces like Helmand is "more indirect than it is direct," says Maj. Gen. Richard Mills, who ran Regional Command Southwest for NATO from April 2010 until last month. "Equipment and personnel flowed up from Pakistan into the Helmand river valley," he explains, but "very few" actual fighters. Guns and cash, mostly.
Those facilitators now have to watch their backs, Mills predicts during a Thursday breakfast meeting with reporters in Washington. Intelligence gathered from bin Laden's captured hard drives "will identify people who are involved in material support for the insurgency in Afghanistan," he says. "I think it will provide targets to be worked, and I think it'll have a tremendous impact a little bit later in the year, as the loss of that leadership begins to take place and they lose that capabilities."
And that leads to the bigger overall impact for the war, Mills predicts, even amongst fighters who don't have anything to do with al-Qaida. The killing of bin Laden will "sow seeds of distrust among the leadership and cause considerable turmoil on the battlefield for the [insurgent] soldiers themselves." Taliban leaders who previously thought they were untouchable by U.S. forces now have to reconsider their assumptions. "We don't leave our missions," Mills says. "Once we've targeted you, we're going to maintain our focus on you until mission's accomplished. … That has to have a psychological impact on the leadership of the insurgency."
Whether it hastens the end of a decade-long war is a different story. Experts are still debating the impact of killing bin Laden on al-Qaida's global terrorism operations. But when it comes to the Afghanistan war itself, launched to destroy a terrorist network that's now based in Pakistan and dispersed worldwide, the Obama administration has so far declined to announce an accelerated schedule for reducing troops this year in the wake of killing bin Laden. The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that Team Obama hopes bin Laden's death will shock the Taliban into negotiating.
In a talk with Danger Room readers on Wednesday, Stephen Grey, a Frontline reporter who recently interviewed senior Taliban commanders in Pakistan, said that the Taliban "is crucial FOR Al Qaeda but [I'm] less sure how much they matter to the Taliban… the Taliban has its own inspirations." If he's right, then losing bin Laden won't spur the Taliban into suing for peace, let alone laying down their weapons. The Taliban's support structure is more dependent on Pakistani intelligence than its old allies in al-Qaida.
But at lower levels, Mills — nominated on Wednesday to head the Marines' Combat Development Command — thinks the unexpected, dramatic killing of bin Laden might freak out the average Taliban fighter. "It'll have tremendous impact in showing we're able to reach out and get what might be perceived as a completely safe target," he says. Marine special operations units in the southwest have already "decimated the insurgent command and control structure," leaving operations to be run by Talibs in their early 20s rather than their mid 30s, another factor that might cause a Taliban rethink.
Mills stops far short of predicting an accelerated end to the war thans to bin Laden's death. Instead, he thinks the Taliban are certain to try to retake Helmand during 2011. But they may not have the same morale, confidence or sense of momentum that they had before bin Laden was iced, and that might compel the insurgents to reconsider the fight — especially as U.S. troops continue to pursue them. Mills points to a peace deal he considers durable in northeast Helmand that came after months of fierce fighting as a possible prologue. It might not be the most satisfying coda to the bin Laden death. But in a war whose adversaries only have an "indirect" relationship now to the original rationale, expecting more might not be realistic.

mommy to 3 soon to be 4..but..
Just wondering but I have 3 kids now just found out that I am having 1 more. I am thrilled but my kids will have 3 different dads..I sort of think this is slutty. But two of them have the same dad and I was married to him for 7 yrs. my x husband raised my oldest as his own. My boyfriend now I have known for 11 yrs. and is okay with all this but I'm can't shake these thoughts. I know I shouldn't worry what people think still it crosses my mind. Thoughts??
I'm having #4 very soon. At first I worried about being judged for having a big family and for having the last 3 close together. Now I couldn't care less what people are thinking. My family is more important to me than some random persons thoughts.
Its not slutty IMO if you didnt have them very close together. if your oldest was 5.... yeah thats kind of slutty LOL.
And like pp have said... don't worry about what people think. Some times you'd be surprised how little people talk about you. You were/ are in two long term relationships, so many might not see the " scandal" of it all and see your other three as your ex's and yours. Plus your bf has been around for a while, so its not like you were being promiscuous.
Btw, congrats on the new baby!!!
Don't worry about what other people will think. I know it's a lot easier said than done but once you get the hang of not giving a fuck, it's pretty liberating. lol

Norm, I'll just do this here if that's OK. Others may benefit, besides, I can't draw on the computer, I'll have to use my words
So open that link again and look at the lower right illustration (D) you'll see it has two PO check valves. Just above (D) is illustration (C) showing the symbol for a pilot operated check valve used on hydraulic drawings. Let's start there. The dotted line is the pilot line. The horizontal solid line represents the hydraulic line.The sideways V and the ball are the check valve. When hydraulic fluid is pumped from left to right it lifts the ball off the seat and flows on down stream. When it tries to flow from right to left the ball is forced against the seat and flow is blocked. If the pilot line is pressurized it lifts the ball off the seat and flow is enabled from right to left.
Now illustration D. You will want to eliminate the PO check valve in hydraulic line B and the T fitting in line A that connects the pilot line to the B line valve. You'll need to add a T fitting to line B that connects to the pilot line of the Valve in line A. In illustration (D) when line A is pressurized it retracts the cylinder, which I think is the same as your system. While you are closing your hood hydraulic pressure in line A is free flowing past the check valve into the rod side of the hydraulic cylinder causing it to retract. Oil on the other side of the piston is flowing out of the cylinder through line B and returning to tank.When you stop the hydraulic pump the check valve closes and the cylinder is locked in the closed position. The check valve prevents hydraulic bleed off of oil past the spool valve so your hood doesn't creep open. Now when you want to open the hood line B is pressurized which in turn pressurizes the pilot line to the check valve in line A which opens and allows the oil on the rod side of the cylinder piston to flow through line A and back to tank.
You'll have to find out what pressure your system operates at so you can source a compatible PO check valve. You'll want one that is configured like illustration (A) 4C check valve. The other one (B) 2C check valve uses an external drain, you don't want that
Now that's clear as mud, isn't it! You should click on the "view page" button for a more concise explanation!

Jennifer Aniston Chats With The New York Times
Actress and John Mayer fucker, Jennifer Aniston, talked television and the movies with New York Times Magazine. The interview was fun and fluffy. There was no mention of John Mayer, or her recent comments regarding Angelina Jolie. Here are some of the highlights:
Q: What was the first television show you remember watching?
A: Oh, God — The New Zoo Revue? Or maybe Land of the Lost? No — it was that guy . . . Captain Kangaroo. He was on the porch with Mr. Green Jeans. Have I just dated myself?
Q: When did you first appear on a screen?
A: My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.
Q: If Friends comes on when you're home, will you watch?
A: I have. There are times I don't even remember that particular show. This is horrible to say, but there are times when I laugh my rear end off. And I get in debates with people who are over and say, " Friends is not my thing." Excuse you!
Q: How much do you hate cameras on phones?
A: My favorite move is when people pretend that they're on the phone and they kind of dial and take the picture at the same time. You hope they're doing it for themselves — that they're not thinking, I'm going to dine out on you.
Oh dear. I've pulled that one before. I wonder if Fabio even noticed?

Module maker Novatel Wireless is to support fleet-management applications for Vehicle Tracking Systems and help the telematics player with its migration from GPRS to CDMA technology.
Services developed by Vehicle Tracking Systems already incorporate Novatel Wireless (San Diego, CA, USA) technology, including an "on-board rules engine" that supports applications like geo-fencing and trip reporting, and so the module maker was a natural choice of partner for the further development of services.
"Our partnership with Novatel Wireless has exceeded our expectations," said John Cunningham, chief executive of Vehicle Tracking Systems. "The functionality and reliability of its M2M telematics solutions are ideal for helping our customers realize productivity improvements, with exceptional support for fast time-to-market and easy deployments."
Novatel says it will help Vehicle Tracking Systems to provide new tracking capabilities for its Silent Passenger application, which integrates detailed maps with real-time traffic information so that vehicles can be more easily monitored.
The module maker will also help Vehicle Tracking Systems to switch from GPRS to CDMA networks, which are used by major US operators – including Verizon Wireless (New York City, NY, USA) and Sprint (Overland Park, KS, USA) – to support M2M applications.
"We look forward to continuing our relationship with Vehicle Tracking Systems to provide next generation fleet management solutions," said Peter Leparulo, chief executive of Novatel Wireless.

Rules and Regulations
1. Meditation course – level 1, organized by European Association of Oriental Therapies, runs during the course of 4 days. It is taught every year and it teaches the theory and practice of meditation ancestral techniques.
2. Meditation is nourishment for the mind. Recent scientific experiments have shown that the brain is nourished and rejuvenated during the meditative process. Although not much is known about the human brain, it has been confirmed that one that meditates regularly has more inner peace, less disease, and it achieves higher spiritual goals.
3. This course is aimed at healthy adults. A healthy person is one without serious illness (physical or mental), that could somehow hinder permanence during a somewhat long period of meditation.
4. Participants should attend the entire course and participate in all activities. Only with patience can one change habits and advance in meditation practice, obtaining results. There is no physical exercise practice during the course.
5. Participants should observe silence during meditation practices, and should not question the teachers or the techniques taught. At the end of the course participants will be able to express their opinions, publicly or privately. If anything seems inadequate during the course, participants can request a private meeting with the teacher.
6. In order to create an healthy environment for the practice of meditation it is paramount that other techniques are not practiced, that there is no consumption of alcoholic beverages, tobacco or drugs. Food is vegetarian and clothing should be comfortable. For obvious reasons, mobile phones and other electronic portable devices (including cameras) are not allowed. Ideally participants should not read books, or to engage in any other activities rather than those of the course. This is not due to any philosophical reason but rather because it will lead to energetic dispersion with not so important matters. There are separate dorms for males and females. Participants should have a positive attitude, inner peace and balance and accept all that surround them.
7. Application forms need to be filled in. For reasons of space management and vacancies, participants cannot give up after the application has been confirmed. In cases of non-attendance, or quitting up to 45 days before the beginning of the course, there will be exclusion from other courses (unless agreed by the teachers).
8. Rules and Regulations can be changed, if need be.

Hi, I'm Carole from Melbourne Australia and I currently keep 12 hives in my garden. Bees are still flying, but the hives are packed down for winter. Swarming season here starts in mid September, so there's not much to do till spring except lifting the hives to check if they are heavy enough, or need feeding.
I'm interested in Mead, and currently have several batches of mead, and some fruit wines which are sweetened with honey fermenting in a spare room. Will have to wait a while for the mead though.
