Do records on ispot get shared with BWARS? if not i can submit al the bees and wasps ive been seeing and recording this year to BWARS?
They do... but there is no automatic way for this to happen yet. We need to think carefully about the best way to do this and this is something that BWARS and iSpot do discuss
oh so you literally have to
26 June 2013 - 8:34pm mark patterson
oh so you literally have to trawl through the observations to record things for your own records?
I will send all my observations into GIGL as well as well as borough ecology officers
its a shame all these
26 June 2013 - 8:35pm mark patterson
its a shame all these recording mediums cant share their records more easily without duplication.
I know many charge other organisations to see their records data which I think is unfair when volunteers are submitting sightings freely.
On Data General
I agree there is some concern on how records are used - particularly when some data is made accessible to planning consultants for desk top studies who probably could not tell a beetle from a banana but make a healthy living out of providing the right answer
Some recording sysytems like Map Mate have a recording facility ( Replication ) which does allow the exchange of records from " Centres"

The easiest way to ensure they do get to BWARS is to enter them via the online recording setup at http://www.brc.ac.uk/irecord/
All you need to do is register, and then record. All Hymenoptera records come to me for verification, and if the stuff has been id'd to species on iSpot, then that is ideal and it will be accepted immediately.
The real problem is finding the time to verify records from people who are not known to the verifiers, and there is no supporting evidence to suggest that the records are correct. Vague records (such as "Bumblebee" are not much use either as these don't actually constitute records at all!).
I hope this helps a bit!
Just in passing Stuart does BWARS have a CUK Centre Key for replicating to for Mapmate users or in the alternative via VC recorder , data for VC's could be very quickly accumulated although I would imaging not all VC recorders could live with computers :-) But it would be interesting maybe to take a quick poll of the state of play ? All my Hymenoptera are in so far as possible Photographed and ID'd but checking is always advised , and point noted in the time needed , albeit as an interim Notable species could be quickly identified to begin with

Fluorescent nanotubes help assess meat spoilage
|Transporting meats and seafood from the farm or sea to the market while they're still fresh is a high priority. But telling whether a product has gone bad isn't a simple process. Current strategies for measuring freshness can be highly sensitive to spoilage but require bulky, slow equipment, which prevents real-time analysis. Some newer methods designed to speed up the testing process have fallen short in sensitivity. Yanke Che and colleagues wanted to develop one simple test that could deliver both rapid and sensitive results.
|The researchers turned to highly fluorescent, hollow nanotubes that grow dim when they react with compounds given off by meat as it decomposes. To test the nanotubes, the team sealed commercial samples 1 gram each of pork, beef, chicken, fish and shrimp in containers for up to four days. When they exposed the portable system to a teaspoon of vapor emitted by the samples, it reacted in under an hour, fast enough to serve as a real-time measure of freshness. The researchers also found that if the tubes' glow dulled by more than 10 percent, this meant a sample was spoiled.

OMC saildrive
I have what looks like an old OMC saildrive, 15 hp, 2 cyl, in my Grampian 26. But having problems. The engine stalls, bangs, shudders and shakes.....often quitting just as I approach harbour. Is it old fuel? I put in new spark plugs and have tried adjusting the low speed idle needle but still have problems. Is it bad carburetor? Fuel pump? Power pack? Sounds at times like backfires and misses.
Any suggestions? Know any good OMC mechanics?

State to announce final State Ethics Commission settlements
by: Richard Belcher Updated:
ATLANTA - The state is ready to announce that it has settled the last three cases involving former employees of the State Ethics Commission.
The new settlements with Sherilyn Streicher, Elizabeth Murray-Obertein and John Hair will total $1,877,500. The state earlier agreed to pay former Ethics Commission Director Stacey Kalberman and her attorneys $1,115,000. The disputes arose after the commission began investigating 2010 campaign spending by Governor Nathan Deal. The governor was not named in any of the cases.
Kalberman, Streicher and Hair had filed suits against the Ethics Commission. Murray-Obertein had not.

Is This Man The Real Spiderman?
The video of a man with an unbelievable talent that is quite similar with spider-man is making the rounds on various social media sites. The man was able to climb a wall with no safety harness, only bare hands. The video is entitled "Encontramos al verdadero Spiderman!!!" or "Find The True Spiderman" im English translation.His way to the top scared a lot of people but he was able to even do what spider-man does in his movies. Some people who watched the video said that the man is a tourist attraction and he regularly performs this stunt.

Dunkin' Brands Group and Starbucks want a bigger chunk of your lunch money.
Dunkin' Donuts introduced a new $3.99 grilled-chicken flatbread in the US on Monday, following Starbucks's move last month to test seven new hot lunch sandwiches in some American cafes. It's part of an effort to boost afternoon sales and entice the lunch crowd after the morning java business subsides.
"The biggest challenge is generating awareness," John Costello, global marketing and innovation president at Dunkin' Brands, said in an interview. There's customer demand for more food in the afternoon hours, he said, but Dunkin' is best known for coffee and doughnuts.
Lunch is the latest battleground in an increasingly competitive industry. Chains like McDonald's have attacked the coffee business, increasing pressure to fire back at traditional fast-food bastions. At the same time, coffee chains are challenging sitdown restaurants by revamping their decor and - in Starbucks' case - offering alcohol and tapas.
At coffee and doughnut shops, about 65 per cent of customer traffic happens in the morning, according to NPD Group. Lunch and afternoon snack time is about a third of traffic, while dinner is just 2 per cent, NPD data show.
Dunkin' Donuts embarked on a more cafe-style store redesign last year, complete with earth-toned walls, jazz music and cozy booths, to encourage diners to hang out in the afternoon. In the past year, it's also added nonbreakfast food items, such as a bacon-ranch breaded-chicken sandwich, and introduced a nationwide loyalty program.

• Teavana: Starbucks takes coffee-shop model to tea
• Dunkin' Donuts apologizes for blackface advert
Starbucks also is gunning for the lunch customer. It began offering new sandwiches in 178 cafes in Phoenix and Richmond, Virginia, on May 6. The test includes a grilled-chicken sandwich, topped with bacon and swiss, for $5.95, a grilled cheese for $5.25, and a beef brisket and cheddar baguette for $6.95. The sandwiches are prepackaged and heated in stores, similar to the Seattle-based chain's panini lineup. Starbucks plans to introduce new lunch sandwiches nationwide in the US in fiscal 2015, which starts near the end of September.
"Starbucks stores across the US will increasingly be seen as a destination for a quick, delicious and high-quality lunch," Chief Operating Officer Troy Alstead said during a conference call in April.
Coffee-selling chains have long experimented with ways to draw more customers after noon: softer seats, free Wi-Fi, hot foods. The results so far have been mixed. About 40 per cent of sales at Dunkin' Donuts are generated after 11 a.m. - little changed from a year ago. Starbucks, however, has been more successful in shifting some dollars to the post-breakfast slump. About 60 per cent of sales now come after 11 a.m., compared with about 50 per cent a year ago.
"It's a slow-growth environment, so everybody is going after all the different dayparts," said Sara Senatore, a New York-based analyst Sanford C. Bernstein & Company. "Food is definitely an opportunity."
Still, selling afternoon bites often requires an investment, said Darren Tristano, executive vice president at Chicago-based restaurant research firm Technomic. Then there's the challenge of persuading Dunkin' and Starbucks customers to break their usual routine and try a ham sandwich or salad.
"They have to have the proper equipment - whether that's a panini press or toaster," he said.
Starbucks, which first began selling sandwiches in 2003, bought the owner of La Boulange bakery in 2012 to improve its selection of scones, muffins and cookies. Earlier this year, it retooled its breakfast menu with ham-and-swiss croissants and turkey-bacon sandwiches.
The chain has struggled with getting its food right over the years. Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz changed the chain's breakfast sandwiches in 2008 after their aroma overpowered the scent of coffee.
Dunkin', meanwhile, aims to impress customers with the marinade on its new chicken sandwich, said Jeff Miller, head chef of the Canton, Massachusetts-based company. He declined to disclose the marinade's ingredients, saying it has grilled and rotisserie flavours. The 360-calorie sandwich is topped with cheddar cheese and ancho chipotle sauce. Dunkin' also tested ranch and honey mustard.
Starbucks is taking its food a step further. The world's largest coffee-shop operator is debuting a new restaurant this month in Los Angeles that will serve dinner items such as burgers and cocktails.
Don't expect the same at Dunkin', Costello said. While the chain is experimenting with proteins, "I don't think you'll see hamburgers," he said.

The day I whistled for death,
I smiled.
I was ready.
My nails dug deep
Whilst laughter ricocheted through my soul
As my fate spun out of my control.
My life rose further through to the heavens
Wrecklessly a mini prayer rolled from my lips like diluted venom.
Tuneless song lyrics entered my mind,
As I sat there at the pinnacle,
Waiting to die.
I didn't know what to expect,
But I was speechless for words,
I flew in free fall,
Euphoric, content, adrenaline pumping,
My life in mourning.
I didn't know how to react,
Until I realised,
I was fearless,
I was strong,
I was young.
All I had yearned for was invincible fun.

Troy Deeney rescued a point for Watford in a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town to ensure his new manager, Giuseppe Sannino, did not start his tenure with a defeat.
A loss for Watford looked likely when the home side were given a controversial penalty, stroked home by David McGoldrick in the 73rd minute, but the lead lasted just eight minutes before Deeney slid home from Marco Cassetti's cross.
In truth, a draw was a fair result in a largely dismal affair. Neither side gave an inch in a cagy opening, and the first shot at either goal did not come until the 22nd minute.
Watford edged the early proceedings and came closest to scoring, in the 25th minute, when Diego Fabbrini found space in the area and cannoned a shot against the near post from an acute angle. But Ipswich fought back and the visitors were indebted to the agility of the recalled Manuel Almunia, who tipped over McGoldrick's 25-yard shot.
As in the first half, the second 45 minutes took time to get going. It was Watford who almost made the breakthrough when the impressive Fabbrini dissected the home defence and Sean Murray's goalbound shot was smartly turned around by Dean Gerken.
Just as the game was drifting into a drab goalless draw, Ipswich were given a chance to open the scoring. Frank Nouble's weak cross deflected off the arm of Gabriele Angella and the referee, Graham Scott, had no hesitation in pointing to the spot. After furious Watford protests died down, McGoldrick stroked home his ninth goal of the season.
But with nine minutes left Watford were level. The substitute Cristian Battocchio slid a teasing cross into the six-yard area and Deeney beat Smith to slide the ball home.
Ipswich came close to a winner in the 87th minute when McGoldrick found some rare space in the Watford box, but his shot was parried by Almunia, and Luke Hyam's header from the rebound came back off the crossbar.

Desperate Gamers
Posted on Thursday, October 5 @ 16:52:15 PST by Duke_FerrisThe Desperate Housewives video game launched today. No, really. I can't make stuff like this up.
My wife, Miranda, loves that show. I've actually seen a couple episodes with her, and while it's not the sort of thing I would watch, it also isn't the worst TV habit she's ever picked up.
The thing I can't figure out is whether this is the worst idea of all time, or the best. After all, the Entertainment Software Association keeps reminding us that the average gamer age is now 33, and the 38% of gamers are women. Granted, they count "casual" gamers too, people that my nerdy friends and I wouldn't consider gamers at all.
I just have to keep reminding myself that they're not trying to sell this game to me. After all, The Sims enjoyed a lot of success among women, and the game industry is always lamenting how it essentially ignores women. Besides, Desperate Housewives is already a board game, a clothing line, a fragrance, and a cookbook, so what the heck, why not?
In the end, it all comes down to whether or not the game is any good. And again, I have to remind myself it doesn't matter whether or not I think the game is any good. If I would like it, they totally screwed up. I already know i have no desire to live on Wysteria Lane. If they did their job right, the developers made the game for that other 38%, casual-gaming, Housewife watching gamer. In other words - my wife.

Ryanair's shaky customer service record has taken another blow, after the airline had to apologise for a steward's expletive-filled rant at a passenger over a bag of cheese and crackers.
According to The Sun, passenger Nadir Morris handed back the snack, which he had just asked for, because he thought the price - £4.20 - was too high.
He told the newspaper the steward told him angrily that the price paid for the company's cheap flights.
Upon landing in Pisa, Italy, Mr Morris asked the steward his name so he could make a complaint. The steward refused, he said, and tried to shove him out of the way.
When Morris told him he was recording the conversation, the steward said: "F**k you, f**k you, f**k you."
The steward has since quit his job, and Ryanair said: "We were disturbed by this report of such totally unacceptable behaviour.
"We sincerely and unreservedly apologise to the passenger in question."
Ryanair has a patchy reputation for customer service and angering customers with large fees for re-printing boarding passes and over-large baggage. This image was cited as contributing to the firm's two recent profit warnings in the past three months.
A recent Which? survey found that the airline was distinguished by its "rude and unpleasant" staff and an "aggressive and hostile" attitude towards customers, and ranked it at the bottom of 100 UK brands in terms of customer service.
Its famously brash chief executive, Michael O'Leary, recently told shareholders that the company needed to "eliminate things that unnecessarily piss people off" and soften its macho image.

Heading into the woods as a survival plan is just making it hard to find the gear on your dead body later. Bugging out always requires a BOL that comes with a roof, cleared land for agriculture, existing food stores, and ownership/permission to be there. You can have cache areas and rest locations along the way, but if you don't have a proper livable location then just stay at home.
Living off the land is a fools errand. Those that can barely pull it off long term already have their book deals and cable channel shows.
Those that don't have a proper BOL had better quit messing around with Rambo gear and go get a BOL. Buy it or get permission from someone else to use it during emergencies. Then go get it ready.
Your BOB is to get you from your current home to your BOL. Exactly what you need to get there and absolutely nothing else.

I've offered to several friends of mine to sign a 5 year lease on 5 acres on my property and I'll ether provide materials for a 500 sq ft hunting cabin, (with basic solar, propane, wood stove, etc) or that % of a larger cabin if they want larger.
Their only "rent" would be assembly (it's not that hard)
I was going to help, but with my declining health that part is now off the table.
If you don't know someone like me..... you should.
They'd have unrestricted access to "their cabin" for hunting, vacationing, bug out, etc. For 5 years by contract (and reasonably, for the few I've made the offer to for life.)
As well as limited access to the 75 acres for wood harvesting and damn near unlimited recreationally.
To say nothing of my gardens and fruit trees when they come of age.
I'm still waiting for the first one to take me up on it.
People talk, rarely do.
Like most long time preppers it took me a lot of years to buy a decent rural BOL.
But I ended up getting free use offers from several types of rural folk.
First was hunting and fishing leases. I'd book a seasonal lease and I'd devote a half day of the trip to do some minor maintenance. Fix a fence gate, a screen door, fix the floating dock, replace a water spigot that leaked. Nothing major. It went unnoticed at first because I didn't mention it, but when they finally did I would say that's what hunters should be doing at remote places to ensure everyone has a working place to go every year. Then I'd reel off the other jobs I already did there. I was instantly their favorite customer. Then I got rental discounts for them being appreciative and later they would offer a free rental if I took on a middling job they needed done. Over the years I eventually ended up with gate and door keys with the offer to visit anytime it was empty. Had a whole keyring for different places.
Later I turned to pest hunting. Here it happens to be feral hog hunting. Other places it could be groundhogs (great marksmanship training). Coyotes are a pest everywhere and take a bit of all-around hunting/shooting/tracking skill. Farmers were plenty happy to let me hunt feral hog. Most would join and help out after the hunt, as well as offer a modest bounty of home grown produce. Over time I became like very extended family to them. Butchering and burning a dozen feral hog is a bonding experience. Again, more gate keys and hearty offers to visit anytime.
These rural types will see me differently than the typical Golden Horde type. They may realize I need help but they also know that my presence has proven value to them. I can bring in food and help maintain their property. They well know I'm good for defensive protection too. They see me as an asset and useful set of extra eyes and hands. I'm not some city slicker crying at the gate for a handout.
I'm not saying this will work for everyone. I am saying that the general concept could be retailored for your situation and region. Bond with certain rural groups in the good times as either a helper or polite paying customer they get to know very closely. Think of it as rural networking. It definitely gives you a process to get a rural BOL option long before you can pay for a good rural place of your own.
It might work on a rural farm Bed and Breakfast annual vacation with your wife or becoming pals with a fish and game warden you ask to hire out as a day guide. Game wardens have off days and like extra income as much as any other cop does.
Get an outdoor rural hobby and figure out how to turn it to a local's benefit beyond just yours. Then put enough time and effort into it that the local sees you as almost one of his crowd.
At worst it will likely keep you from being shot on the spot at their gate when SHTF.

Nomad, 2nd and IamZeke, thanks for your advice.
Here's my thinking: It seems to me that what you're suggesting works in areas that are away from big population centers. But I live in NJ, the most densely populated state. I believe that in a worst case, even rural areas of NJ would eventually be overrun by people seeking resources. It would probably be war here until the population decreased to some lower number. I'd like to avoid that scene if possible. So, I believe that for me, a BOL would have to be well outside of NJ. And given that roads will become parking lots here in an emergency of the proportions we're considering, I wouldn't be able to count on road transportation to get anywhere. Therefore, my plan is to be as self-reliant as possible with what I can carry on my back, and stick to routes through wooded areas that keep me away from people as much as possible. I'm guessing that early on, it would be possible to travel this way, as most people don't venture into the woods here in suburbia, and will probably do so only after they have expended available, conventional resources.
However, you're making it clear that I do need a destination--a place to homestead. I've thought about it, but have made no plans. I need to start thinking in that direction.
I understand that the odds are against me. But unless I were to move out of state now, it's what I face. I think I'm still young enough and in good enough shape to consider an extended "backpacking trip", but I'm past my peak in terms of hireability in my field of work. So, pulling up stakes now would mean being prepared to leave the rat race now.
So, pulling up stakes now would mean being prepared to leave the rat race now.[/QUOTE]
So, how about the*lower and slower* state? Light population for that area, lots of rural, off the usual traffic routes?
Seriously, can anyone suggest a resource, online or otherwise, for working and riveting copper sheet? Any help would be appreciated!
A mountain bike. Best way to get to your BOL, more importantly, best way to both actively patrol and commute to and from road blocks, op/lp. Available everywhere, including Craigs list and garage sales!
Readiness? Right now I'm screwed b/c we are in the middle of moving. But in a few months we will be back to normal. Which is to say; as prepared as we are going to be.
We selected a region that has been experiencing regional economic depression for the past 40 years. [I can fit right in and be 'middle-class' on $15k/year income here. Whereas in many other areas like my home state of California, on my pension we would be destitute. Here we are middle class.]
EMP proof house.
Off-grid on solar-power [wind and hydro power systems work good too]
Low cost land, low taxes, low COL [I got we bought land for under $400/acre, we built a large house on 150 acres of land and our annual taxes are well under $1000/year]
Produce all of your food. We are at around 95% of this goal, have been for a few years. We way over produce some things, but some other things are lacking. We barter among locals to work it all out.
Produce some of your energy needs. We produce our heating fuel. Our home is on solar-power. We just shifted to a plug-in vehicle that we are charging off our solar-power.
We have constitutional Open Carry of firearms, we have constitutional Concealed Carry of firearms. For decades this state has been among the top ten for pro-gun rights. The only weakness on gun rights, is we are not 'castle doctrine' this state gives the DA some discretion on the matter.
We have a very good local network of like-minded folks. Lots of hunters, fishermen, trappers, foragers, and other off-grid market farmers like me.

Now I'm hundreds of miles away.
Other than population density, higher self sufficiency, and no hurricanes.... I could never afford the acreage I have here.
Life's about choices. Make yours.
(And many people change careers )
I felt that I had to select a location with a higher chance of survival, with low population-density, more self-sufficiency, better forage, etc.

But our choices resulted in an improved lifestyle NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.
Baring the excess cash for a "summer and winter home" (which my Airstream somewhat provides) my choices not only increase "survivability" but give me a perfered lifestyle NOW.
I don't "live in fear" I live the life I want (as much as my physical issues allow.)
I believe this to be an important distinction as "no man knows the day or the hour."
I live a much better lifestyle now, because I migrated.
And because I migrated, I believe that I now stand a far better chance of thriving through most SHTF scenarios.
The trend for going on 3/4 of a century has been to dependence, liberal agendas masquerading as tolerance yet really reverse repression, spin pretending to be news, insane government fiat spending with nothing really built with it, microspecialization and niche evolution in our lives, and a huge laundry list of utterly stupid trends. Hell, people are now famous for just being famous. Why does a Khardashian rate more global respect than Stephen Hawking?
We can see the car driving off the cliff and the monkey behind the wheel refusing to pump the brakes.
At a certain point we try to rationalize the inevitability by hoping for a controlled crash instead of a fireball rolling down the mountainside.
Cmo1037 doesn't really want the crash. He just wants the monkey to pump the brakes. But the monkey just screeches and cackles madly.
Weird thoughts run through your mind when you realize you are living in Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath song.
Best to not voice those thoughts too loudly and also be a bit tolerant when you hear others unable to contain them.

How Prepared are You?
Here is the scenario... an EMP hits. the world as we know it ceases to exist. No more grocery store. No more gas station. No more pharmacy. What you have is what you have. You are not getting any more food that you don't hunt or harvest. You arent getting anymore fuel unless you make it. You are either at your house bugging in or you are at your bug out location, whichever gives you the best chance of survival.
Things to consider...
1) Shelter. Does it protect you from all weather in your area? (ie can you keep it warm?). The cold will be the big killer during the winter in areas where it gets below freezing at night. How many months worth of wood/fuel do you have stocked and can you get make more? (ie cut down and harvest more trees). for someone on the east coast who lives in the woods this will be doable. If you live in the empty plains of Kansas and Eastern CO do you have a renewable heat source?
2) Food. How many months of food do you have stocked? Can you harvest or hunt more? Do you have livestock/garden/fish pond/etc?
3) Water. How many gallons do you have stocked? Can you get more from a creek or well? Remember that your electric well pump will no longer work, so you will need an alternative way to bring water up from your well.
4) Health. Is your life dependent on meds? Can you make more or is what you have stocked all that you will ever have?
5) Security. Do you have the means to defend yourself if need be?
I think survival can be looked at from these 5 fundamental areas. We are only as strong as our weakest link. If someone only has one month's worth of food and no means to hunt/harvest/grow more than they only have a month to live. It doesnt matter if you have an endless supply of water and wood without food you will die. The same can be said for if someone has no means to heat their shelter than they will only be able to survive the summer months. The winter will inevitably kill them.
So How long will you survive? 1 month/ 1 year/ etc?
I was talking to a family member that lives in a very rural area. He owns 77 acres and they run a granola business out of their home. Needless to say they have 100s of pounds of granola on hand at any given time and the raw ingredients to make 100s more. They have chickens as well as a substantial garden and they make their own maple syrup. They also have a wood burning fireplace and a wood burning stove. He was telling me how prepared he was and he is right. He is way more prepared than most preppers except that his only source of water on the property comes from a 400ft deep well and he has no way to get to that water without electricity. He does have a generator but he doesn't keep enough fuel on hand to last more than a couple weeks and in the event of an EMP it probably wouldn't work. This conversation got him thinking.

I have need to create PDFs from Word & Excel. Works great on PC - the Mac produces extremely poor results using the "save as PDF" function (odd artifacting underneath characters in Word documents, formatting disappears from Excel files, graphics are extremely poor quality, etc...).
One Example:
I have an Excel form (11x8.5 landscape) with box lines around most of the cells. This particular one prints fine in Excel but when I export to PDF, the boxes don't show... only the text. I've tried different fonts and changing the box lines but nothing works. I have other forms (some hugely complex) that have worked great. I can't seem to find a difference but this one won't work.

A Picnic?
Hey Eric,
I had a lot of fun yesterday. I was hoping maybe we could get together another time...Maybe go out for lunch? Or we could have a picnic in the park. That would be lovely, it's supposed to be a sunny day tomorrow. :D
Well let me know when you're free. I know this business takes away your life sometimes. You never know when things 'pop' up. It all requires precious timing. But hey, if you've got the time, stop on by the cafe again. Just leave a message with Tricia, the manager. She'll know how to contact me. Thanks, looking forward to seeing you again! :)

A Prairie Home Companion - LIVE in HD
For millions of devoted listeners, the week just isn't complete unless they've heard the soothing vocal intonations of Garrison Keillor, as he hosts the radio variety program A Prairie Home Companion. Most, of course, don't get to see the author/humorist/musician as he performs, since he records the show on a stage way up in Minnesota. Today, in a first for the 35-year-old program, a two-hour installment of the show, A Prairie Home Companion - LIVE in HD, will be broadcast live in high definition to movie theaters around the country, including several in the Houston area (an encore performance will be screened February 9). "After all these years, we're starting to get the hang of doing this show and feeling like we're ready for the big screen," quips Keillor. The lineup for the storytelling, music-making, high-jinksing extravaganza features a number of usuals, like actors Sue Scott and Tim Russell, sound-effects experts Tom Keith and Fred Newman, and the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band. See what you've been hearing all these years at 7 p.m. Various theaters, including Houston Marq*E Stadium 22, 7620 Katy Freeway. For information, visit www.ncm.com/fathom. $18 to $22.

Recommendations to help heal Tummy Tuck scar
Doctor Answers 7
Tummy Tuck Scar Treatments
Take care.
Recommendations to help heal Tummy Tuck scar
There have been many good answers listed below. Silicone gel sheeting remains one of our favored products particularly if there is thickening of the scar. Otherwise, for lightening and fading the scar, I very much like a product that was introduced by Skin Medica almost two years ago that is called Scar Recovery Gel. I have found that the science and my own clinical experience with it far exceeds products such as Mederma, which I have think have been fairly useless.
There is also a system called Embrace which tries to unload tension on the incision. It is a bit difficult, however, to keep in place in this location.
I hope this has been helpful.
Robert D. Wilcox, M.D.
Scar Care
Scars take ~12 months to fully mature. I prefer scar massage (15 min/day). It's important to push firmly. Pushing hard enough to blanch your nail is a good test. You can use any lotion to decrease the friction as you massage.
I would second the use of non-medicated tape. 1" wide paper tape is excellent and should be worn at all times except for showering. Silicone sheets are good too, but require a bit more effort to use than paper tape.

Scar treatments
It usually takes around 6-12 months for a scar to be fully matured.
During this period massaging it with coconut oil or cocoa butter helps.
If the incision line starts to become elevated silicone sheets help greatly, if not, consult your surgeon, as Kenalogg injections might be needed to avoid a hypertrophic scar.
Lasers can also be helpful when a scar has fully matured and needs some fading.

Scar remedies
Most incisions heal nicely without requiring any help, and there is little or no evidence that products help the overwhelming percentage of patients. They probably do help when scarring is abnormal. The wide variety of products is evidence that no one has been able to demonstrate the superiority of one product over another. Were that the case, we would all recommend the same remedy.
The majority of surgeons suggest a silicone based product--strips or ointment--to patients who might benefit.
It is best to discuss options with your surgeon. All the best.

A-Designs EM Silver - 500-Series Mic Pre Module - Steel Output Transformer
The A-Designs EM Silver is a 500-Series microphone preamplifier and has a darker tone than the other A-Designs EM-Red, EM-Blue and P-1 preamplifiers.
The A-Designs EM Silver's sound is based on a custom-wound steel output transformer, which makes it an excellent match for ribbon microphones since steel transformers were widely used in the early days of recording and broadcast - it was the combination of steel transformer and ribbon mic that gave broadcasters and singers that "Voice of God" sound that has lit up so many vocal recording and the amplified spoken word for decades.
A-Designs EM Silver Features:
- 48-volt phantom power
- 20dB pad
- Phase switch
- Custom-wound transformers
- Thumb screws for easy install and un-install
- Cast aluminum rotary gain control knob

Despite those strong sales gains, why aren't their stocks moving much to the upside?
Karen Finerman rarely reveals which companies she thinks could be takeover targets, but this time she's making an exception.
Here's why you should keep a close eye on these six stocks.
Here's why you should keep a close eye on these six stocks.
Options investors are really expecting a 'Miracle on 34th Street' this year, according to Pete Najarian.
He's got his list. And, he's checking it twice. He's not Santa. He's not on a buying spree. Wall Street Strategies Retail Analyst Brian Sozzi has been surfing the malls in and around the New York City metropolitan area. Sozzi, who is rated five stars by Starmine for accuracy, has been doing this every weekend this season.
And the coolest of all is this company.
S&P futures had dropped a point or so as initial jobless claims for the week came in a bit heavier than expectations, 436,000 vs. 422,000 consensus. Prior week was revised upward to 410,000, from 407,000. Also: good news, nad news for retail.
A shakeout in teen retailers, private equity eyes retail acquisitions and holiday sales beat forecasts.
Monthly sales reports from retailers in November are expected to be strong, fueled by early holiday promotions and strong sales over the Thanksgiving weekend. A breakdown of the expected results.
Check out this new segment we're calling the Street Sheet: your complete guide for tomorrow's trading.
Stocks declined, but ended significantly off session lows, as financials gained and the dollar slipped, although investors remained concerned about the effectiveness of Europe's attempt to contain sovereign debt troubles. HP and Home Depot fell, while AmEx and BofA rose.
Stocks came back from session lows as financials gained, although the market remained lower amid continuing fears about Europe's ability to harness a credit crisis despite a weekend bailout agreement for Ireland. HP and Home Depot fell, while AmEx and BofA rose.
Stocks sank Monday as a strong start to the December holiday shopping season failed to counter investor concerns about the wider implications of debt burdens throughout Europe even as a final agreement was reached on Ireland's bailout fund. HP and Boeing slumped, while Bank of America rose.
The boost to stocks as European Union officials endorsed the $115 billion debt bailout has proved short-lived. The euro has weakened, the dollar strengthened (to a 2-month high), and most major bourses in Europe are down about 1 percent after being up overnight
As shoppers rush to the malls, private equity is also taking greater interest in teen retail names, Lori Wachs, president of Cross Ledge Investments, told CNBC on Friday.
Sure, there are a slew of black Friday TV commercials and you'll be inundated with glossy newspaper insert ads. But that's not all retailers are doing this year to get your attention — everyone from big box stores to boutiques is pulling out all the stops to deliver deals directly to consumers, to compel them to spend.
Investors are wondering which retailer could be the next takeover target, given J. Crew Group said Tuesday it will be taken private. The traders weigh in.
Times are tough, and retailers are getting creative, wrapping their marketing campaigns in some unlikely packaging this year, from new "grab-and-go" gift shops at Macy's to new flexible payment options at Sears.
What follows is a roundup of corporate earnings reports for Thursday, Nov. 18.

Recent summers at the Emirates have been notoriously quiet much to the frustration of Gunners fans but this one is shaping up to be a lot more lively with several players having already left the club and Granit Xhaka having just completed a £30 million switch. Another man who could be on his way out
Two gaffes against Southampton in the Premier League and the subsequent cigarette controversy nudged Wojciech Szczesny to second-string, with David Ospina striking the Arsenal faithful as a more reliable option. The arrival of Petr Cech in the following summer ensured that Arsene Wenger shipped him to Roma on loan in the very transfer window. Has
The admission came in February from Arsene Wenger that he does not have a consistent number 1 in his Arsenal goal. The manager would claim that Wojciech Szczesny and David Ospina were in competition for the Gunners' goalkeeping spot but he cannot deny a shift in favour has occurred as Ospina has started all Premier

This whole thumb epidemic is hitting Boston by storm, and now we learn that Andrew Bailey's injury is a bit more serious than initially thought and surgery is possible.
Red Sox closer Andrew Bailey has been told he needs surgery on his right thumb according to major league sources..
Bailey was examined by team doctors in Boston today. He will be in Cleveland on Tuesday to get a second opinion from Dr. Thomas Graham, a respected hand specialist and surgeon.
If Graham agrees with the recommendation for surgery, it could happen as soon as Tuesday. It is uncertain how long Bailey would be out.
Manager Bobby Valentine said today that the situation was a concern.
"When a player is injured I always am very concerned and always try to make alternative plans. If he jumps right back in, then I'm pleasantly surprised," he said "When guys are hurt, they're hurt and he couldn't pitch for a couple of days, you know? I'm not sure how long."
What a great way to start the season! I fear the results of Josh Beckett's tests.

The bourgeoisie didn't visit Versailles
Paris, France, January 24th, 1789.
The Estates General meet for the first time since 1614... something is afoot... the bourgeoisie are starving in the streets of Paris... Marie Antoinette living in her world at Versailles, alone and bored to death by a distant Louis. Something will have to change.
Historical Fiction about the lives of the poor in Paris, and the life of one of the most notorious women in history - seen as cold, extravagant and uncaring...
In the cold damp streets of Paris, people lay starving, trying carefully to avoid the open sewers, faces contorted with the hunger pains, and noses wrinkled with the redolence of excrement.
In the palace of Versailles, Marie sat down on her puff chair and cried quietly. Life had not turned out as she had been led to believe.

text: Ah, the joy of guerrilla advertising or, er... culture jamming, as Monkey believes it is called. Aka taking an ad for one thing and then subtly, or not so subtly, turning it into an ad for something quite different. A Sky One billboard for Prison Break is the latest to fall victim to the same chap who once turned Johnny Vaughan into Osama bin Laden. Where once the ad said "Great escapism" alongside a picture of its star, Wentworth Miller, the poster on Shoreditch High Street now says "CIA Hotels. Just add water" along with some cut-out faces of George Bush and a gag over Miller's mouth. Sky have been out to see if it's still there, but apparently not. If only they'd Sky +ed it.

Australia's mainland detention centres face widespread changes to healthcare, education and policing with the states and territories taking over services previously provided by private contractors.
The federal government's budget announcement says the Immigration Department has reached an agreement with the states and territories to radically alter the way services are provided in immigration detention in mainland centres.
"The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) has negotiated arrangements with a number of state and territory governments for the provision of various services (including health, education, corrections and policing services) to immigration detention facilities and people in immigration detention."
It is unclear whether this would mean the federal government was moving away from privatisation, or whether the states would be free to subsequently privatise services.
Previously, management of Australia's onshore detention centres was contracted to the private contractor Serco, but the company's contract is due to expire in July. International Health and Medical Services, which provides healthcare in detention centres, is also due to expire soon.
In a budget release, the immigration minister also said that by curbing the number of asylum seekers who arrive in Australia by boat, the government is projected to save $2.5bn over five years.
Despite this the Commission of Audit highlighted that Australia's detention program, targeted mainly at asylum seekers who arrive by boat, was likely to cost $10bn over the forward estimates.
Last Friday the immigration minister announced the merging of customs and immigration border operations into a new agency called the Australian Border Force, as part of the cost saving measures. Immigration staff across a range of areas – including immigration compliance, detention services and customs strategy – would be taken into the new agency.
The minister claims that savings made by "stopping the boats" will allow for an expansion of the special humanitarian program for refugees. 20,000 extra places on this program will be created.
"In 2014-15, Australia will welcome 13,750 people through our humanitarian program and [it] remains one of the top three refugee resettlement countries in the world," the minister said.
The government had previously cut the humanitarian intake from 20,000 under the ALP government.
A growth in skilled migration has also been forecast by pledging to allocate nearly 68% of Australia's "migration places" to this sector and prioritising employer-sponsored visas.
"The 2014-15 migration program provides a total of 190,000 places, including 128,550 for skilled migration, 60,885 places for family migration and 565 places for migration under the special eligibility stream," the minister said.
The budget announcement also flags a major funding boost for Indonesia, with additional funding of $86.8m over three years.

Has any one had trouble with these washers? Used one for the first time and was sewing on a border when the bobbin jammed, checked it out and the washer was all crumpled up. Any ideas as to why this happened?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Has any one had trouble with these washers? Used one for the first time and was sewing on a border when the bobbin jammed, checked it out and the washer was all crumpled up. Any ideas as to why this happened?
Do you have trouble with your bobbins, is that why you were using the washers? If not, toss the washers in the trash. You don't really need to use them.
Bernina 640, Singer 201-3, Singer Centennial 15-91, Tin Lizzie 26" long arm
Sometimes they can raise your bobbin up just a hair...enough for your thread to catch on and cause a jam. I have this issue with drop in bobbins.
Honestly I have never needed bobbin washers with plastic drop in bobbins. I do a lot of heirloom quilting on a simple inexpensive Brother from Walmart among other machines. They can be helpful for metal bobbins in metal cases that don't already have bobbin springs.
Valerie Smith - pumpkinpatchquilter
Obsessed Quilter and APQS Long Arm Machine Quilter
I've never needed them either, so have never tried them.
You have to take out the spring in the metal bobbin case. Most who sell these don't know the way they were meant to be used. They work great in the older all metal machines. I like how they stop most of my bobbin thread problems so I use them. I don't use them in my drop in bobbins because they are all plastic and not much static.
Got fabric?
I use them and it's eliminated my problems with eyelashes, etc. on the backs of my quilts.
I use them but I use metal bobbins and a bobbin case without a spring
I did not have any problems with bobbin, just thought they were supposed to be good, so tried them but will not use them again. I have an all metal machine (Elna SU) with metal drop in bobbins. Guess I can sell them on Ebay lol
Have used them with free motion successfully - the brand used is Little Genie - the flatter side is placed up in my machine for eyelash issue on quilt back. They don't seem to work well with regular sewing for me.

Federal Health Reform to Drive Growth in EFT and ERA Adoption
Federal health reform legislation will drive unprecedented growth in the healthcare industry's adoption of electronic funds transfer (EFT) and electronic remittance advices (ERAs), according to a new report from PayStream Advisors.
"While federal health reform is poised to drive the adoption of electronic payments and remittance, investments in the technology already are increasing, offering payers incremental improvements in efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and laying a solid foundation for the future," said PayStream Advisors' Managing Director Henry Ijams.
Eliminating paper payments and remittances from the healthcare revenue cycle could save the industry tens of billions of dollars over the next 10 years, the PayStream report states. In fact, moving to a completely electronic claims payments system could save the industry over $30 billion a year, according to the U.S. Healthcare Efficiency Index (USHEI). Just eliminating paper checks in healthcare and moving to EFT could save $11 billion a year, USHEI estimates.
The PayStream Advisors report notes that a number of factors have stymied adoption of EFTs and ERAs, including weak industry standards, resource constraints, the limitations of legacy systems and processes, and shifting priorities, such as ICD-10 conversion. But EFT/ERA adoption is about to get a shot in the arm as a result of payer mandates contained in the federal health reform legislation.
"Despite the seismic changes shaping the healthcare industry, the end-game with electronic claims reimbursement remains unchanged: straight-through processing (STP) enabled by payers sending electronic remittances along with an electronic payment, which can be reconciled and automatically posted to the provider's patient management system," added Ijams.
The 33-page report provides payers with a comprehensive roadmap for EFT and ERA adoption, covering topics such as: building a business case for EFT and ERAs, key barriers to adoption, critical technology and business process considerations, and tips for selecting a vendor.
The PayStream Advisors report also includes detailed profiles of four leading providers of claims reimbursement solutions and services.

The author of the poem is unknown. In his history of Scotland, Andrew of Wyntoun mentions a poet called Huchoun ("little Hugh"), who he says made a "gret Gest of Arthure, / And þe Awntyr of Gawane, / Þe Pistil als of Suet Susane" [great history of Arthur, / And the Adventure of Gawain, / The Epistle also of Sweet Susan]. This "Gest of Arthure" has been claimed to be a reference to what is now known as the Alliterative Morte Arthure; but the fact that the Morte Arthure seems to have been written in an East Midlands dialect, the fact that Huchoun may have been Scottish, and the dialect of the extant Epistle of Sweet Susan,[1] which appears to be that of North Yorkshire, all argue against "Huchoun"'s authorship.
The only manuscript source for the Morte Arthure is the Lincoln Thornton Manuscript written sometime in the mid-15th century by Robert Thornton, who copied an older text, now lost, which presumably derived from south-west Lincolnshire.[2]

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Days of Ruin takes place in an entirely new world where a large-scale meteor shower triggered massive global destruction that eradicated 90 percent of the population. After the catastrophe, the survivors have formed together into militaristic bands that are warring over the last remaining scraps of civilization. You'll take control of Will, a young military cadet (whose hair is admittedly just a little spiky) who quickly becomes embroiled in the conflict at the outset of the game.
