The National Lift Tower (previously called the Express Lift Tower and known locally as the 'Northampton Lighthouse') is a lift testing tower built by the Express Lift Company (a lifts division of the General Electric Company (GEC)[1]) off the Weedon Road in Northampton, England. The structure was commissioned in 1978 with construction commencing in 1980, and was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 12 November 1982. Since 1997 it has been a Grade II Listed Building.[2]
Designed by architect Maurice Walton of Stimpson Walton Bond, the tower is 127.5 metres (418 ft) tall, 14.6 m (48 ft) in diameter at the base and tapers to 8.5 m (28 ft) at the top. The only lift testing tower in Britain, and one of only two in Europe, it was granted Grade II listed building status on 30 October 1997, at the time making it the youngest listed building in the UK.
In January 1997, the tower fell out of use after Express Lifts was taken over by Otis and subsequently closed. In 1999, the tower and surrounding land was sold to Wilcon Homes for development.
From the time it was built one shaft was specifically used by the British Standards Institution (BSI) for type testing of lift safety components at the time under the BS5655 and BS EN81 standards. Safety Gear testing involved putting the lift cars (frame) into free fall conditions with rated mass at tripping speeds as required by the designers of the safety gear to ensure the lift cars decelerated and stopped within the requirements of the standard. Buffer testing involved impacting them with the maximum and minimum mass at tripping speeds to ensure decelerations were within that requirement by the standard in both cases the aim was to ensure if the lift ever went into free fall or uncontrolled downward movement the safety components stopped the lift without causing any serious injury to the occupant. BSI ceased using the test tower soon after the site was acquired for housing in 1997-98.
The building is now privately owned and has been renamed the National Lift Tower. Following extensive renovation and repairs, the tower was re-opened for business in October 2009. The tower is used by lift companies for research, development, testing and marketing. As well as being a resource for the lift industry, the building is also available to companies requiring tall vertical spaces, for example companies wishing to test working-at-height safety devices.
There are six lift shafts of varying heights and speeds, including a high speed shaft with a travel of 100 metres and a theoretical maximum speed of 10 m/s.
The tower's renovation was officially completed in July 2010.[3] Further building work was planned with planning permission being sought to build a visitor's centre incorporating a 100 seater auditorium and cafe. However, permission for this structure was denied by Northampton Borough Council in March 2012.[4]
Abseiling at the tower has been going on since May 2011 with over £140,000 having been raised for charity in the period to May 2012. Northampton Borough Council has now granted approval for it to be used up to 24 times a year for abseiling.[5]
As of 2015, the tower is being used as the world's tallest drainage testing facility.[6]
The tower was lampooned by the late broadcaster Terry Wogan as the "Northampton lighthouse". He wrote a section of the book, Icons of Northamptonshire (2014) about it.[7]
The local paper Northampton Chronicle and Echo published an article for April Fools' Day 2008, claiming that the lift tower would be pulled down. This caused distress to many residents of the local area, with comments made on the paper's website regarding the lack of respect of the local council for not publicly announcing it.[8] Another April Fools' Day story that ran in the same paper suggested the tower would be redeveloped as a mooring station for airships.
The Lift Tower is featured in the science fiction novel Time to Repair by Mark Gallard.
The Lift Tower featured in the Ross Noble Freewheeling programme when he tried to destroy a DVD of the film Love Actually by dropping it down the inside of the tower.

Lost in Social Networking Jungle
Too many social networking sites to choose from for daily use?
I have been blogging for over five years, mostly using blogger platform. I have made websites using html language with the help of Macromedia Dreamweaver before the era web 2.0 or blogging explode. But when it come to social networking, I am the one who was left behind. This could be due to a couple of reasons. First I wasn't belong to teenager group when Web 2.0 exploded. As you know the younger generation really fast in catching the social networking trend, most of the social sites were targeting younger generation at first anyway. Also, maybe I think social networking in real world suite me more than social networking in cyberworld. That assumptions was one big mistake that I have made.
With the outbreak of Web 2.0 (the term can be debated), everyone can become part of the Internet world. Web 2.0 made it easy for anyone to have their own place on the internet. Unlike in the past where the cybersurfer can only just reading, now they can engage in various activities such as commenting, discussing and interacting among each others. This 'personal touch' is very engaging, just look at Facebook.
By countries, Malaysia (my country) itself is at position 21 among Facebook users. As at 2 July 2010 there are 1,995,040 Malaysian users. That's a large number. Perhaps I am the 1,995,040th user to sign up :-). Still struggling to configure my Facebook setting. Weird, I find it not user friendly at first to configure it. Creating a blogger at blogspot.com is easier. Also, managed to create my first Facebook at My Facebook Fan Page
With all kind of blogging platform, micro blogging, social sites, profile sites, discussion site, bookmarking sites, news sharing sites and all kind of multi-hybrid social networking sites, we could just easily lost in the jungle.
But while getting familiar with those, I managed to find some tricks and tips which I hope I can share in this blog. For those like me, who just about to begin with those social networking sites, do drop by here once in awhile.
Until next time.

By Paulo Trevisani
BRASÍLIA -- Brazil's central bank opted for a quarter-point cut to its benchmark interest rate Wednesday, as expected, as the country's political turbulence and uncertainties stemming from the U.S. election forestalled a bigger cut.
The bank trimmed its Selic rate to 13.75% from 14%. The move follows a quarter-point reduction in October that was the first cut in four years.
Before Donald Trump's surprise win in the U.S. presidential election Nov. 8, many economists said they expected a half-point rate cut at Wednesday's monetary policy committee meeting because of Brazil's slowing inflation and weak economy.
Expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve could accelerate rate increases under the Trump administration appear to have overcome slowing inflation and concerns about a lingering recession at home, according to Renato Nobile, from BullMark Financial Group.
"It's a very complex moment," he said. "There's room for deeper cuts with the recession, but politics are again influencing the economy."
The central bank launched the easing cycle in October as inflation continued to slow after hitting 10.7% in January, more than double the bank's 4.5% target. Price increases slowed to 7.9% in October from a year earlier, the slowest pace since February 2015.
The country's deepest recession since at least the 1930s, with gross domestic product shrinking 3.8% in 2015 and set to contract 3.5% this year, also favored a rate cut.
The economic bad news continued Wednesday, when Brazil's statistic agency said GDP contracted 0.8% in the third quarter from the second, after falling 0.4% in the second quarter.
Government efforts to rein in spending were another factor in favor of monetary easing. The national budget deficit is near 9% of GDP, while gross debt reached 70.3% of GDP in October.
The fiscal imbalance is seen by the bank as increasing pressure on prices, as it adds demand to the overall economy and scares away investors, weakening the currency.
President Michel Temer is trying to push a bill to limit spending through Congress, which central-bank officials have identified as an early sign of fiscal prudence. Late Tuesday, the proposed amendment to the constitution was approved in the first of two rounds of voting in the Senate. If the Senate passes the bill again in a vote expected on Dec. 13, it will go to the president to be signed into law.
These factors initially led economists surveyed weekly by the central bank to forecast a rate cut to 13.5% this month.But Mr. Trump's win raised fears about U.S. protectionism and proposed economic stimulus measures that could lead the Fed to raise rates faster than previously expected, which likely would shift to the U.S. money now flowing to riskier, but higher-yielding emerging-market investments.
"The result of the American election is another element of uncertainty," central-bank President Ilan Goldfajn said in a conference to businesspeople earlier this month.
Domestic politics aren't helping, either. Suspicions of corruption that have plagued the political establishment for years flared up again over the past couple of weeks, raising doubts about Mr. Temer's ability to get economic overhauls approved in Congress.

Re: Re: Re: Types in Mathematica
Such a hot topic here.
But what does "type" mean on earth?
I define an integer "i". Then I do some arithmetic with it. Here,
"i"'s type is "integer".
In a programming language (like C), I write:
int i; i = 1234;
As the programmer, I do not care how the language implements
"integer". It can use a register, or several bytes in memory (the
ASCII code of "1234", or in Binray Code Decimal) to represent it.
Let me guess, "types" should be considered in two layers: abstract
layer and phsical layer.
An integer "i" on abstract layer can be represented as an integer in
tradition meaning or something else as you like on phyiscal layer.
When I got a string "1234" on phsical layer, I can "abstract" it to an
integer 1234. This is the mapping of types between the two layers.
Turn to Mathematica, I define a symbol "a", it is completely a
"symbol", it can be anything. This may be a try of Mathematica to
represent things on the abstract layer.

text: I have a Smith and Wesson Model 622, I would like to add a red dot sight to this pistol but there are no mounts of any kind on this model. My question is to anyone, how would I be able to mount a red dot sight on this pistol? I am sure that it could be done and I am also sure that some form of mount like a Weaver mount could be added and more than likely the pistol would have to be drilled and tapped somewhere to be able to do this and would it be feasible? Comments are very welcome. Thanks

Dear friends,
We thank God for faithful stewards, like you, who stand with us in seeking to reach the lost of this world for Jesus. In Luke 12, Jesus said that faithful and wise stewards are "blessed".

We are so grateful that you share a part of the thrilling things that God is doing in the lives of people. As the opportunities for ministry at The Mailbox Club continue to expand, we need people like you to continue to stand behind us in prayer and financial support!
The fields are "white unto harvest." With opportunity also comes the need for funding in order to reap that harvest.

Rome's refilled Trevi Fountain basks in restored glory
By Isla Binnie
ROME (Reuters) - Water coursed back into Rome's Trevi Fountain for the first time in over a year on Tuesday as the city showed off the latest privately-funded restoration of its prized landmarks.
The stone rendering of Tritons guiding the shell chariot of water god Oceanus glowed with new high-tech lighting after the most drastic clean-up in its more than 250-year history.
Marking the end of an aqueduct said to have carried "Virgin Water" to ancient Rome, the fountain now boasts fresh pumps and a pigeon deterrent system following a 2.2 million-euro ($2.4 million) facelift.
The work, sponsored by fashion house Fendi, began in 2014, some 25 years after the last major restoration, amid concern over stone laurel leaves tumbling from the facade.
"We heard two years ago just by chance that the fountain was losing pieces and we immediately called the Rome government," Fendi Chief Executive Pietro Beccari said.
Transparent barriers around the basin and a footbridge that had allowed visitors to observe restorers at work were removed, returning the scene of screen siren Anita Ekberg's late night dip in the 1960 film La Dolce Vita to its former glory.
Tourists in the piazza, named after the three roads ("tre vie") that once met there, waited to throw a coin into the newly-crystalline water in homage to the tradition that doing so guarantees the thrower a return trip to the Italian capital.
"It's in the movies and it's beautiful, especially now that it's been all cleaned," said Hannah Cowley, 33, a nurse on her honeymoon from Australia. Continued...

Equinox, mostly good,some notso
Sail Date: November 20, 2015
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
We arrived at the terminal at 1:00 P.M. And were having lunch at 1:30. It was the easiest check in we every had. Our room was ready and the luggage arrived. The life boat drill could use improvement ,left standing for a long time waiting ,drill was late starting and most people were tired and fed up. The dining room food and staff were top notch , the variety and quality of the food left nothing to be desired. Breakfast and lunch at the buffet was never crowded and the multiple types of food available. Our room was clean and neat and our steward was attentive to our needs, which really wasn't too many.We have sailed on the Equinox before as week as the sister ships , so we did expect the same standards. The disappointment come in the entertainment in the theater, so should I say lack of same. There was only one night of the general cast singers and dancers, on other nights we had a male singer, comedian, pianist, female singer all on a bare stage with the backup band ,a lot of fake smoke and flashing lights. We let the Officers and Cruise director know our opinion. Overall we has a very good time and the final chore of leaving the ship was handled well.

Despite its exotic name — as well as representing the first and last initials of its designers' monikers, NAHM also translates as "water" in Laotian — this is about as all-American as a brand can get: co-founder Alexandria Hilfiger is the daughter of a bestselling US casualwear designer and, yes, the clue is in the name. Founded by Hilfiger and her partner Nary Manivong in 2010, each of NAHM's collections takes inspiration from the simple shirt-dress style. A relative newcomer to the UK market (the label arrived at King's Road's The Shop At The Bluebird at the end of last year) NAHM offers beautifully tailored eveningwear at a less than laugh-out-loud prices. (From £340, TheShopAtTheBluebird.com)
Club Monaco
When Club Monaco arrived in the UK last year it was welcomed with open arms by London's transatlantic travellers, who love the label for its signature Stateside style. But all is not as it seems. Despite being based in New York, sister label to American fashion house Ralph Lauren, the brand is, in fact, of Canadian origin, making it a controversial addition to this list, but what the hell. Thanks to a reasonably priced selection of edgy but wearable pared-down basics, Club Monaco offers a refreshing approach to American style. (From £40, HarveyNichols.com)
Sea, NY
This airy-fairy, feminine label might look as though it was dreamed up in a design studio on Paris's Left Bank but its home is, in fact, New York's Canal Street. The brainchild of Sean Monahan, who founded Sea NY in 2007 before recruiting ex-Betsey Johnson designer and childhood friend Monica Paolini to help him expand the label, it is a great shout for those who favour a subtle, not showy, approach to style. Sea NY's signature pieces include loose-fitting drop-waist dresses and delicate embroidery — making it a perfect choice for summer weddings. (From £268, MatchesFashion.com)
J Crew
Michelle Obama's favourite high-street brand began life as a mail-order business in 1983 and is now one of America's major mid-priced labels. A cult favourite with stylish Brits who until the end of last year had to travel to the US to stock up on its signature sweetie-coloured sweaters and chinos, J Crew is now available globally — via its website — and looking to open a London store. Loved for its vivacious approach to colour — the current collection includes 179 shades — the label shot to global fame when Mrs O made it her label of choice during her husband's presidential campaign. Now it is readily replacing the capital's many cult cashmere brands as the Londoner's favourite destination for moderately priced basics. (From £40, JCrew.com/UK)Reuse content

In the spring of '14 we discovered serious roof leaks due to hail damage. Innovative was recommended by a contractor who had used them on a successful roofing job. We were in need of immediate help because of further water damage inside the home. Innovative sales rep, Josh Kranawetter, came to meet the next from my initial call. He walked us through the damage inspection, work/price proposal and insurance claim all along the way. Once the job started he was on site from start to finish: set-up, project progress, inspection through removal of tile to completion of installation as well as site inspection post completion. Our roof is made of spanish tile and Josh researched and sourced the replacement tiles needed. We had one crew remove our entire roof of tiles and a new crew replace them. They both worked with remarkable skill considering how complicated the 90 year old roof is. Included in their work was replacing 2 skylights and copper gutters, which Josh sourced and coordinated. We highly recommend Innovative Roofing after the experience we had with them Spring/Summer '14.
Jarrett and his team helped us through the entire process of roof replacement from hail storm this passed year. New roof looks great and we are very happy.
Innovative Construction put a roof on my house over the summer . They did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend them.
One of the reasons we chose ICR to repair hail damage was that they could do it all; roof, gutters and interior repair from water damage. While the final results were very good, getting the work done proved to be difficult. Scheduled dates for the work were changed often and getting in touch with our project manager was difficult. Calls, messages and emails were not answered for weeks. The final results were very good but the process was very tedious.
Innovative Construction and Roofing did an outstanding job on several of our projects!!! It is very hard to find a reputable roofing company these days. With Innovative Roofing, your prayers are answered!!! You won't be disappointed!! Quality and Service through and through!!
They have themselves listed as serving my area but actually don't. Waste of time.
Innovative Construction and Roofing is outstanding! Water damage and leaks in our attic space prompted my first call to Innovative. Tom patiently and efficiently walked us through the process, meeting and working with our insurance adjuster and coordinating not only the replacement of our roof, but other exterior and interior repairs as well. The service we received far exceeded our expectations. We definitely plan to recommend Innovative to our friends and neighbors and would be more than happy to share our positive experience.
Innovative Construction and Roofing replaced my roof about 3 months ago. I wanted to wait a while before reviewing so I could have time to evaluate the finished product. After 3 months the roof looks and functions great. From the time they came out with my insurance adjuster, they were very helpful in selecting the right color and style; very prompt and respectful of my house and property, and did an overall great job on the roof. I have already recommended them to a friend and he had the same experience. I will recommend them again to anyone who needs work on their roof.
I highly recommend Innovative Construction & Roofing. Of the three contractors we requested a quote from they were the only one who showed up on the date/time when they said they would. Once work started they were very fast and did a great job. They also went above and beyond by helping us with getting a rebate for the roof and assisting the insurance adjuster examine the roof for damage.
I highly recommend Innovative Construction & Roofing. Kevin was a great help in completing the replacement of our roof and repairs from storm damage. All work was completed as promised. Kevin met with the insurance adjuster all my issues from the storm we addressed. The entire team at ICR was great to work with.

Chloë Sevigny is no stranger to style-icon status. Sensibly starting her acting career in the underground skateboarding flick Kids, she was instantly established as the coolest thing to come out of Hollywood for years.
Kids set the precedent for Sevigny choosing film projects with colourful plotlines, including Boys Don't Cry and American Psycho, and the American television show Big Love. More recently, she played the lead in Sky1's Hit & Miss, the somewhat improbable drama that was most notable for Sevigny's performance as probably the best-dressed transsexual in history.
Her talent for making the right decisions has been more than a little beneficial to her sideline career as a fashion maven, too. In 2001, she was the face of Tara Subkoff's underground label, Imitation of Christ. For the past four years, meanwhile, Sevigny has enjoyed a successful collaboration with New York boutique and label Opening Ceremony, giving fashion followers the world over the opportunity to buy and wear clothing that the actress has even gone so far as to design herself.
It should come as no surprise with all this in mind that Italy's first lady of fashion, Miuccia Prada, has been an admirer for some time. Sevigny was the star of Miu Miu's spring/summer 1996 campaign. More than 15 years on, and Sevigny is the face of Miu Miu once more. Shot by the famous photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, this features Sevigny in a gallery of playfully provocative portraits wearing the season's sharply cut masculine trouser suits covered with psychedelic repeat prints; it's not for the shy.
A hint of the Seventies can be seen here, too, in the clothes but also in the setting – think thick carpeting that might almost be described as shag pile and more than a little beige. Prada is a woman who understands this decade well and has constantly reinvented it, all while twisting its codes to very witty and pretty effect.
It almost goes without saying that investing in total-look Miu Miu is the stuff that dreams are made of and that budgets may not always allow. Fear not. In store at the moment are Mary Janes – with their mischievous-schoolgirl connotations, a classic Miu Miu accessory. They come in patent leather in the sweetest colours imaginable – lipstick pink, bright turquoise and pale flesh tones – as well as in black and silver covered with sparkle. Even on the soles! You read it here first: come fashion show-time in September, this is the footwear that will be gracing the style pages, not to mention the feet of any fashion editor worth her credentials. For those who would rather carry their status on their sleeve, doctors' bags in all the sludgy shades of the Seventies are Miu Miu's latest stars.

Faculty Member
Susan Lindquist
Member, Whitehead Institute
Professor of Biology, MIT
Although Susan Lindquist passed away on October 27, 2016, The work that she initiated continues to be very actively pursued at Whitehead Institute.
Whitehead Member Susan Lindquist is a pioneer in the study of protein folding. She has shown that changes in protein folding can have profound and unexpected influences in fields as wide-ranging as human disease, evolution and nanotechnology.
Protein misfolding has been implicated as a major mechanism in many severe neurological disorders including Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. Lindquist and colleagues have developed yeast strains that serve as living test tubes in which to study these disorders, unraveling how protein folding contributes to them. They have succeeded in reproducing many of the biological consequences of Parkinson's disease in yeast cells and are screening for drugs to prevent and treat the disease.
Prions are proteins that can change into a self-perpetuating form. They have only been discovered recently, but one of them is already well known as the cause of mad cow disease. The Lindquist lab investigates both how prions form and the diseases they cause. In addition, Lindquist is convinced that other prion proteins play many important and positive roles in biological processes. The first evidence for this was shown in her work with Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel, which demonstrated that prions may be integral to memory storage in the brain. The Lindquist lab has also used yeast to prove that inherited traits can be passed on via prion proteins, without any change in DNA or RNA, findings that have added a twist to traditional understanding of inheritance.
Heat shock proteins are a group of molecular chaperone proteins that, as their name might suggest, guide other proteins to fold and mature correctly. Lindquist has established that heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) can reveal hidden genetic variation in fruit flies and in cress plants (Arabidopsis) under certain environmental conditions. Most of these variations are likely to be harmful, but a few unusual combinations may produce valuable new traits, spurring the pace of evolution. This mechanism has great potential for use in creating better crop plants by conventional breeding methods, without the need for transgenic manipulations of crops. The lab is currently investigating closely related mechanisms involved in the progression of cancerous tumors and in the evolution of antibiotic resistant fungi.
Lindquist is a Member and former Director (2001-2004) of Whitehead Institute, a Professor of Biology at MIT, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. Previously she was the Albert D. Lasker Professor of Medical Sciences from 1999-2001, and a Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology, University of Chicago, since 1978. She received a PhD in Biology from Harvard University in 1976, and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1997, the National Academy of Sciences in 1997 and the Institute of Medicine in 2006.

shower pan soft around drain
I recently had a walk in shower installed in my basement. In order to do this the drain had to be moved about a foot. Now that the drain is in place and the shower pan is installed I have noticed that there is a lot of give around the drain area and it feels soft when you stand in this area. Is there anyway to fix this? I have not yet installed the shower surround or doors.
Thanks for your help!
there should be concrete or sand or SOMEthing under there to support you. (i've seen great stuff foam under them, but......) if you do not add something, you will no doubt crack it at the drain and leak under.
How can I get the shower pan/base off the drain pipe now that it is glued in?
*ouch* never saw that coming... i've only seen the drains that screw into the pipe below with a rubber gasket.... hmmm, a photo or two might help us at this point. perhaps the great stuff 'injected' under a lifted edge? dunno without more info.
2 Attachment(s)
So I got the pan off...I guess it was not glued on after all. Here is a pic of what it looks like underneath and the underside of the shower pan. Now what is the best way to add support...some type of concrete mix? Should I try to replace the vapor barrier that I chipped through when digging the hole?
Thanks for your help.
I take it from the picture that the base was set on top of that hole without filling it in?
yes you should fill it back in and put a VB back I would use sand topping mix that you can buy at any box store it packs well and drys hard if you want a little give then use sand (i wouldnt) and then put your VB on and reinstall the shower
That defiantly needs to get filled in. Who put that pan over that hole? Also how did you get the drain apart? If you just yanked it off check to make sure you didn't damage the rubber.
The hole was filled in nearly flush with the rest of the floor using gravel...I took a bunch of the gravel out prior to taking the picture. Even with the hole filled to the top it still had a lot of give. When I put the sand topping mix in should I pack it right up to the drain pipe or leave a couple inches around it? Also, should I put enough of this mix in to fill the recessed areas of the shower pan?
I think I got the pan off without damaging the drain. After taking the filter off all I had to do was remove the plastic sleeve that slides into the rubber part of the drain. Hopefully it all goes back together...
Thanks again for your help. Other than cosmetic type jobs this is my first reno project so I am pretty nervous that I am going to screw up!
your best decision was coming here. sounds like the guys have given you what you need to continue. feel free to come back if you need any more help, and please let us know how it works out! we love a happy ending around here. =o)

ICC Approves ANSI/AMD 100 for 2015 Edition
The Association of Millwork Distributors reports that the International Residential Code committee voted unanimously to approve the usage of ANSI/AMD 100, Structural Performance Ratings of Side-Hinged Exterior Door Systems and Procedures for Component Substitution at the International Code Council code development hearings in Dallas.
AMD 100, a new structural performance standard for side-hinged exterior doors (SHEDs) was approved as a code-change proposal for the 2015 IRC, according to Jessica Ferris, AMD's director of codes and standards, who spoke in support of the proposal in Dallas. "The AMD 100 was developed by consensus as required by the ICC and is ANSI-approved," she explains. "It was developed by AMD door pre-hanger and manufacturer members in tune with the needs of the building industry and code environment."
"Today, we have reached a milestone," adds Rosalie Leone, AMD CEO. "Our mission behind developing the AMD 100 was to allow for the interchange, or substitution of components, while maintaining a structurally rated system. AMD 100 eases the hardship for the millwork pre-hangers and component manufacturers of having to test each door configuration assembled. It is rewarding to see our efforts will make a positive difference in the millwork industry."

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a mixture of physical and emotional symptoms that some women experience in the days, or sometimes weeks, leading up to their menstrual period. We find that PMS is more common in women over the age of 30 and tends to stop with the onset of menopause. While nearly all women have some PMS symptoms, at least 1 in 20 women experience symptoms that seriously interfere with their quality of life. Doctors at Moscow Pullman OB/GYN recommend women come in for a consultation to evaluate the symptoms in order to differentiate PMS from other disorders and to discuss treatment options.
While many women tolerate PMS, believing it to be a normal part of being female, Moscow Pullman OB/GYN can provide treatment to patients who suffer from PMS symptoms. Click on the links below to read about the treatment options available at Moscow Pullman OB/GYN.

Body & Soul: Contemporary International Ceramics - Museum of Arts & Design
Ages: All
2 Columbus Circle - 212-299-7777
New York, NY 10019
Description: In recent years, the human figure has returned to center stage in the work of artists around the world. Body & Soul: Contemporary International Ceramics underscores the power of the figure to convey strong emotions, and also to the accessibility of the ceramic medium. Through clay, the figure becomes the catalyst for addressing the emotional impact of contemporary pressures that confront our society today. Each work, inspired by a personal incident or symbolic tale, expresses a deep emotional identity, contrasting societal, political and personal views on themes such as anxiety, mortality, memory and hope. The exhibition will highlight approximately 25 international artists who came to clay as painters, draughtsmen or sculptors. Many are being shown for the first time in the United States. The range and quality of the works will make this exhibition significant, engaging and provocative, and bring this area of creativity into much-deserved focus.

California hostage standoff ends with man shot dead
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - An armed man who held a 1-year-old boy hostage in a barricaded Sacramento apartment complex for several days was fatally shot by police Friday evening, authorities said.
Police used an explosive charge to make a hole and create a line of sight into the apartment where Anthony Alvarez had been barricaded since Wednesday, Sacramento County Sheriff's Department spokesman Tim Curran said.
After the device went off, Alvarez presented himself, engaged the officer and was shot multiple times, Curran said. At least two officers opened fire.
Alvarez, 26, did not fire on police and was pronounced dead at the scene, Curran said. The 1-year-old suffered only an abrasion on his leg and was taken to a hospital as a precaution, Curran said.
The standoff began when authorities attempted to arrest Alvarez Wednesday.

text: Preserving, protecting farmlandEditor:Our farm was accepted into the Ohio Agriculture Easement Purchase Program in 2002. My husband and I believe it is important to preserve and protect our farmland for future generations.Farms are not only important to the local economy, but they also provide open space and wildlife habitat. Many communities trying to protect their farms find they lack the necessary tools needed to preserve them.Studies have shown sprawling development occurs because of money invested in new roads, schools, water, sewer and other infrastructure. This money is often used to lure jobs and homes into the countryside instead of encouraging redevelopment of cities. The Ohio Agriculture Easement Purchase Program is one tool communities use to protect farmland. Unfortunately the program doesn't have enough funding to purchase development rights from all the landowners who have applied.A new tool this year is Agricultural Security Areas. Landowners can join together to form 500 or more contiguous acres of farmland to enroll in this program. It requires the landowners to agree not to allow any nonagriculture development for a 10-year period and the board of township trustees and county commissioners agree not to extend any new services or roads into this area.Other options a landowner can implement are donating the development rights or creating an estate plan that includes the donation of the development rights to a land trust or to the Ohio Easement Donation Program. Chagrin River Land Conservancy is a land trust that has created a Conservation Buyer Program. The goal of this program is to locate buyers to buy the property and then grant a tax-deductible conservation easement on the property to the land trust.We need to continue to work with our local and state officials to ensure that our communities and farms remain strong and vibrant.In "Solving Sprawl," Parris N. Glendening, governor of Maryland when this book was published, wrote: " I firmly believe it is time to change our culture, time to adopt a new ethos: We will work hard to sustain our incredible economic growth. We will preserve the beauty of our nation and we will protect our environment, and we will do so through land preservation, quality design and support for our traditional communities and solid long-range planning. If we do that, we can improve the quality of life for our citizens now and more importantly for our children's children."Deborah MorrisWoosterDriver could have shown sympathy Editor:To an unsympathetic driver:She was my little girl.She was her mother's best friend.She was the dog you hit Friday, March 18, with your car.Her name was Layla; she was a boxer just over 2 years old, in fact next week would have marked the two-year anniversary of the first day bringing her home.She had brindle markings and we had been told by numerous people that they were the most unique and beautiful markings that they have ever seen.She was very popular with family and friends and those who attend The College of Wooster. She would come with me to work there on a daily basis.She loved to put her paws on your shoulders and lick your ears; she loved going to the Dog Park with her mom. Her favorite toy was a rubber chicken.She had the world's fastest stub for a tail, shaking and twisting her whole body when we got home.I know she shouldn't have been in the street when you hit her, and I know it was an accident. What bothers me is that when we asked you for a ride to the vet, you said that you had to pick up your daughter. I also had to pick up my daughter in the way we don't like to think about.You didn't even get out of the car to see if she was OK.She is in a better place now. Forgiving you would be a lot easier had you shown sympathy.We would like to thank those who cared enough to help us out with this tragedy, and to the Cleveland Road Animal Hospital, we can't thank you enough.Phil BasileHeather SatyshurWooster

I have been in constant contact with very informed sources in Malaysia concerning the so-called missing plane which is somewhere in Asia, we think. According to my sources, it is clear:
1. Vladimir Putin might be the cause of this entire episode.
2. The Israel Mossad secret service could be responsible since there was not a single Jew on the plane! Coincidence?
3. George Bush, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld are possible suspects since they are masters of screw ups and this plane mystery is one big screw up.
4. Why hasn't Ted Cruz attacked Obama for the disappearance, does it suggest he has something to do with it?
5. The Chinese government is upset because 153 passengers were on the plane and since no dissident was among them, then there is anger in Peiping.
6. Senator John McCain has volunteered to fly a jet to search for the missing plane,and promises not to get shot down and become a prisoner again.
7. Barack Obama wants the world to know this disappearance has no connection with the Affordable Care Act.
8. According to Fox News this episode is simply another example of what happens when you give people food since it enables them to live and take over planes.

Natural gas-gobbling bacteria may help combat oil leaks
By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent
OSLO, April 28 (Reuters) - A type of bacteria that eats natural gases may provide a small defence against leaks such as BP's Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010 and curb global warming, a scientific report said on Monday.
The study identified a strain of microbe able to grow on both methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, and propane. Both are found in unrefined natural gas and scientists had previously thought that bacteria could only grow on one or the other.
In consuming both methane and propane the bacteria prevent the gases reaching the atmosphere, Britain's University of East Anglia said of the report written by two of its scientists in the journal Nature.
That means the microbes "could help mitigate the effects of the release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere from both natural gas seeps in the environment and those arising from man-made activity such as fracking and oil spills," it said.
The versatile diet of the bacteria, methylocella silvestris, may mean a microbial ally in absorbing pollution and greenhouse gases that a U.N. panel of scientists says are extremely likely to be the main cause of global warming since 1950.
First found in northern Europe, the bacteria were also detected after BP's spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, the worst U.S. offshore disaster, the study said. The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig killed 11 workers and spewed oil and gases into the Gulf of Mexico.

- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon pure almond extract
- Grated zest of 1 lemon, blanced and refreshed (See Note)
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
In a medium bowl, using a wooden spoon, stir together the melted butter, vanilla, almond extract, lemon zest, confectioners' sugar and salt. Gradually stir in the flour to form a smooth, soft dough. Place the dough in the center of the prepared pan. Using the tips of your fingers, evenly press the dough along the bottom and up the sides of the pan; it will be quite thin.
Bake the shell in the center of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or just until the dough is firm and lightly browned. Let cool completely before filling. Do not remove from the pan before the tart is filled and set.

The Universal 'Our Town'
On Feb. 4, Ford's Theatre, the city's singular historical theater, will hold a 75th Anniversary celebration for Thornton Wilder's "Our Town," a play often performed, and often misunderstood, sometimes scorned, but always enduringly loved and unforgettable.
It has always seemed like a peculiarly American play, posited in a vaguely uncertain but specific place, that may, but does not usually, carry a New England accent somewhere in the early years of the 20th century and yet every word in it, every sentence said by every character strives, without seeming to try, for the universal.
Wilder, an ambitious, unique American novelist and playwright always thinks big but within readily identifiable framework: from the Rome of Julius Caesar in "The Ides of March," to 18th-century Latin America in "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" to the wildly disarrayed, time-spanning family network and dynamics that exist in "The Skin of Our Teeth."
Yet, it has been "Our Town" that has, in terms of interest, readership vor revivals, outlasted all of his work and his own life by many years. Some critics have delved into it and tasted common (and perhaps uncommon) sentimentality and dismissed it, while directors treat it like a Shakespearean work, expanding the character base in terms of types and ethnic groups, fleshing out Wilder's specific and specified stage landscape.
It is probably safe to say that somewhere in the United States and in the world, there is a production of "Our Town" being staged, often in the gymnasiums and auditoriums of small towns in America. Perhaps that's what irritates critics—it's a play that feels simple on the surface but is hardly simplistic. It charms you, even as it's telling you hard, difficult truths about life and death and the whole damned thing, and if high school kids can do it and do it well, it cannot possibly be good.
Upon its first debut that the McCarter Theater in Princeton, N.J. on Jan. 22, 1938, followed by another debut at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston on Jan. 25 and then, officially on Feb. 4 at the Henry Miller Theatre in New York, "Our Town" was something of a revolutionary undertaking. Directed and produced by Jed Harris, the play ended up winning a Pulitzer Prize for Wilder, and anchoring itself in the imaginations of theatergoers everywhere.
With its bare-bones set—lots of places and things are talked about, but only seen by the characters—and its somewhat revolutionary role of the Stage Manager who is the audience's guide to Grover's Corners and "Our Town" traces the comings and goings of the residents of a very small town and specifically the fortunes of two particular families—the family of the town doctor, Frank Gibbs and the family of the editor of the Grover's Corners Sentinel, Charles Webb.
The story's protagonists are the young couple of George Gibbs and Emily Webb, whom we see in high school, whom we hear dream about their lives, whom we see fall in love, marry and suffer tragedy. All of it is about life and birth and death and love, and it affects audiences in mysterious and truthful ways.
If you have any doubts that in "Our Town," Wilder is thinking big, just know how one of the characters writes a return address for a piece of mail, a letter: "Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, United States of America, Continent of North America, Western Hemisphere, the Earth, the Solar System, the Universe, the Mind of God."
The Stage Manager, who takes on many characters in the play, never blinks in staring at and talking about his characters—it's clear there is love there, but there is a diamond-hard, clear eye that knows that people often and maybe most of the time, don't understand the life they're living or appreciate it, or refuse to accept it. Paraphrasing another now forgotten writer, people sometimes wake up amazed at being in a life at all, but life's rush of events, of daily duty and doings, erase that amazement, by plying it, not ever in equal doses, with joy and sadness. All of that sort of echo is in "Our Town"—it can take place in any mind's memory and seem not alien at all.
"Our Town's" life is extended often—by revivals like the one at Ford's and ground-breaking efforts in New York and the Village, and there have been many stage managers (including Geraldine Fitzgerald, breaking the gender wall), as well as Spalding Gray and may Gibbs and Webb families and Emily's and George's, and trips to the graveyards by high school students playing the young lovers. I wouldn't be surprised, were it not for the nightly awesome fear, that I dreamt of being the stage manager too. William Holden, just on the verge of becoming someone special in the movies, played George to young Martha Scott's Emily. There was a musical version on Producer's Showcase, one of those network live plays with big stars, which featured Frank Sinatra as the stage manager, singing about "Love and Marriage," and Paul Newman and the ethereally beautiful Eva Marie Saint play George and Emily. Years later, Newman became the Stage Manager in a television film version, still alive but not much longer.
Arena Stage took "Our Town" (and "Inherit the Wind") to the Soviet Union, then, years later, restaged it with the perfect Stage Manager, Robert Prosky, who was the kind of actor who could command the stage with wisdom and comforting pity for all of mankind.
You see in "Our Town" newspaper boys, soldiers-to-be, daughters becoming mothers, a town that still had what it called the other side of the tracks, baseball players, an undertaker, the rumored drunk, the milkman, the choir director, the farmer. The play is specific because of its title—but you could change that: our block, our neighborhood, our wherever we live in a group and as families, where there might as always be nightclubs and churches, clinics and homes.
In many ways, "Our Town" is a play in keeping with Ford's tradition and image, which is still evolving, as it is the play itself. This production is directed by Stephen Rayne, who has put sharp Americana edges on "The Heavens Hung in Black," "Sabrina Fair" and the dark musical "Parade."
" 'Our Town' is a play which transcends differences in culture, class and race, and speaks to the great themes common to all great art: love, death and marriage," Rayne said. "From its first production in 1938, the play struck a powerful chord with the American psyche, and it is as fresh and relevant today as it was then. I am hoping to bring a fresh perspective to this great classic and present a production that Ford's and Mr. Wilder will be proud of."
"Our Town" will be performed at Ford's Theatre Jan. 25 through Feb. 24.

I think we may have seen this effect sooner had teams like UC, Illinois(who isn't very good but Zook has recruited like crazy) and other northern schools been able to crack the wall sooner. I think if you go back to say 2000, Michigan, tOSU, and tPSU were the big three in the Great Lakes region, and there was no true dominant team in the Upper Plains(Kansas, Nebraska, etc.)
So while the SEC teams may have had more local talent, the migration of people started much sooner, there were more SEC(and southern Big 12) schools competing for the talent. You had Florida, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee was still very relevant, Auburn would go undefeated and Texas and Oklahoma were on the western edge of the Sun Belt to scalp off anyone else.
As the decade progressed, schools like Louisville, than UC, and others became much bigger players for local talent, and tOSU and Michigan could no longer reliably pick up any player with talent in it's own region.
This sentence surprised me.It's not just population decreases. In my hometown area of Central Ohio, voters vote down most tax levies. So many districts there have been forced to go with pay-to-play, which has cut the number of kids going out for football. Some once-strong programs there are now struggling to win 3 games a season. There are definitely fewer kids in that area playing football. It must not be that way all over the state.According to the Ohio High School Athletic Association, the number of schools sponsoring football in the past decade effectively stayed steady (720 in 2008-09, up from 708 in 1998-99) but the number of students playing football rose by 30 percent to more than 55,000.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
I wouldn't call Massillon an afterthought. They're a consistent playoff team and every few years they make a deep run. I think they even played in a title game recently. Massillon is still one of the most successful public high school programs in the big school Ohio division. All divisions really. After Coldwater and Marion Local, not many public schools in Ohio have the consistent success of Massillon.

It has more to do with the invention and development of computers and video game systems. In my opinion of course.

Chicken Scaloppine
Italian food isn't just all about pasta and tomato sauce. Much of it is simple and rustic home-style cooking, like simple sautes and slow braises. The recipes I like the most are both simple and elegant, such as scaloppine, which involves cooking thin pieces of meat. All that the word scaloppine means is thin piece of meat. Veal and chicken are commonly used in classic recipes. The meat is breaded, fried and then served in a sauce, such as a piccata, which features white wine, capers and lemon.
What's great about a recipe like scaloppine is that it's great for dinner for two or a large family gathering. It's a perfect dish for a quick weeknight meal because it's fast and easy. I update the classic recipe by replacing the breading with just Wondra flour. The low-protein flour creates a brown exterior that's light and just thin enough to not get soggy. Plus, I don't add the chicken to the sauce. This way the coating stays crisp as long as possible. Simply serve the sauce spooned over the chicken and enjoy it right away.
Chicken Scaloppine
Olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup dry white wine
4 thin lemon slices
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup Wondra flour
Fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 chicken breasts (tenderloins removed), pounded 1/2-inch thin
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Warm 1 tablespoon oil in a saute pan set over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until fragrant but not brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in wine. Add lemon slices. Raise heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Pour in stock and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Off heat, stir in butter until emulsified.
Meanwhile, season flour with salt and pepper. Dust chicken with flour.
Warm a thin layer of oil in a nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through and no longer pink. Plate chicken and spoon over with sauce and lemon slices. Garnish with parsley.

What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday
Pretty clear. Now that my stu-stu-studio is, alas, no more, I'm back in the tiny corner of our living room. Seeing as my partner is the male version, if not worse, of Monica from Friends (that is actually his nickname) I have to try and keep it reasonably tidy or be nagged.
There's some mini alpha stamps I bought from Dunelm Mill before Christmas, the Walkman I got for Christmas... and still figuring out! On top of the PC tower there is some sketchbooks I'm trying to keep close at hand so that I can fulfill my resolution of at least 10 minutes creativity every day. You can also see my amigurami Alice Cooper angel who sits on my desk throughout the year inbetween his top of the tree duties. Made by Ewa a couple of years ago.
Oh wait - there is actually a W.I.P on top of the desk - the doll sitting on the printer is my zombie girl. She's chomping on Barbie's head. We are having issues though - she's just texture paste over a skeleton at the moment. Am thinking of covering her in clay.
I'll leave you with this scary image...
Anyone else find that as frightening as I do? I had hoped to incorporate these into a different kind of WOYWW, ran out of time. Maybe next week.
Thank you as always for stopping by.
Oops, see? So long since I played I almost forgot to say: If you'd like to play along, make sure you link up with Julia; Deskmistress Extraordinaire :)

I attempted to do my part to help conserve the nesting grounds of the greater snow geese by thinning out the flocks today down along the coast and enjoyed some fine company of Chickie and Nicky along with Jack the Wonder Dog. It was a welcome relief to hunt without snow or freezing winds sending chills down the spine but the winds picked up and the rains came in the afternoon, slowing the action.
As always the day was a success, all had a fantastic time and the camera worked today!
Oh yeah, they tore down my house yesterday...FINALLY some progress!

(3/18/2008) NEW HAVEN- Despite a troubled world financial market and difficult fiscal situations for most cities, New Haven learned this week that it has maintained high scores amongst the three main credit-rating agencies. The city's ratings were affirmed at A3 by Moody's, and A- by both Standard & Poor�s and Fitch.
�Our credit ratings and success in the Finance Department are the result of careful and strategic work by our Office of Management and Budget and the City�s department heads,� said Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. �The City�s fiscal health is a priority. We�re proud of these recent accomplishments, particularly in difficult financial times. These are standards that we�ve set, we will uphold and that we will even strive to increase.�
Further, just last Thursday, the City sold $45 million in bonds, a sign of significant financial strength. �Given what is going on worldwide in the financial and credit markets this was a very encouraging and significant achievement,� said Lawrence Rusconi, the City�s Director of Management and Budget. �It is an affirmation of investor confidence in the City as well as how well we manage.�
Proceeds from the $45 million bond sale will help to fund a number of projects throughout the City including the following: Bridge Repairs; Park and Playground Improvements; Library Repairs and Renovation; Sidewalk Replacements; Computer Upgrades; Energy Conservation in City Buildings; Economic development and site improvement projects; School Building and Life Safety Improvements and Street Repairs.
Regarding last week�s bond sale, �The City received a competitive rate of 4.32% which is very good in this market for an A3/A- GO credit. To put it in perspective, last year's winning bid was a 4.12% but interest rates were 30 to 50 basis points lower. In both instances we received 4 bids,� said Malik K. Muhammad, the City�s Financial Advisor.
