Hey guys, got another technical question for you. The car was running great. I've got most of the bugs worked out. I sprayed some degreaser on the engine so I can monitor for oil leaks and whatnot, and washed it off with my pressure washer, taking care and not directly spraying any electrical connections. I gave the car several hours to dry.
The car starts up just fine, idles just fine, but when I try to give it any throttle, the engine RPM will bounce, just like it's hitting a governor. However, this happens anytime I give it some throttle.
The car is also not throwing any error codes. I did start checking sensors and such. What do you guys think may have gone wrong? Obviously, I must have gotten water in somewhere, but anyone have an idea of what would be causing this?
Thanks again!

for those reading this ,
here is a good example of
you should never use a pressure washer on an engine in a car .
never .
every one knows better yet .....
every once and while somebody feels the need to do it anyway .
do not do it .
just don't .
disconnect TPS MAP CMP which is the rpm sensor at the distributor ....
make sure there is no water or whatever in the connectors
none , soak the connectors with contact cleaner or penetrating oil and reassemble
did ja get lucky ?
is it ok now ?
or choice C
no ?
locate your DVOM
connect to the 02 sensor signal , black wire .
set DVOM to 0 to 1 volt scale or as close as you have on the meter
DC volts
tell me what you measure at idle and 2k rpm
do not use the spray on engine degreaser stuff either ,
it is mostly hydrocarbons , like kerosene ....
which ends up on the ground and in your drinking water .
assuming it does not frak your harness .
all it will do is poison your self and your family and those who drink from the aquifer you are above .
there is no good or safe reason to use it.

on a side note, if anyone wants to wash there engine it is perfectly fine. First before you spray anything on it get some plastic bags and cover the alternator, distributor,coil.... etc basic electronic components. then spray your degreaser(or as mwebb says, dont spray any) and wash away with a GARDEN HOSE not a pressure washer. all that pressure gets in all kinds of electrical connectors and isn't good. This is also a good time to wash the top of your battery from the acid that escapes during normal operation.
Very important to let everything dry for a little while before driving it or if water did get into a connector it could fry something upon startup.
If degreaser is used you will smell the chemicals from the degreaser for a week straight inside your cab while driving as it burns off the engine. Listen to mwebb about degreaser.

I actually did use a garden hose, not a pressure washer. I just used one of those sprayers that make a wide fan out of the nozzle is all. I clean engines all the time this way. Never had an issue.

|I've never heard of NOT washing the engine before. We have a fleet of eighty something vehicles and they get hosed at every service and have for the last 21 years.

Many parents are understandably reluctant to give their children fully featured cell phones, complete with texting, email, cameras, web access and video games. (For buying advice, read our article Cell Phones for Kids: Important Buying Advice.) News reports of teens sending explicit text or photo messages can give grownups nightmares, as can outrageous bills for hours-long calls to friends or excessive downloading of ringtones and games.
Cell phone carriers have addressed this problem by giving parents tools to control what their kids can and can't do with their cell phones, or at least monitor who they're talking or texting with. For anywhere from $2 to $10 per month parents can restrict text messages, block incoming phone numbers or limit calls to specific geographical locations, among other options.
AT&T offers some of the most comprehensive blocking options. Their Smart Controls program (*Est. $5 per month) allows parents to restrict text messages, ringtone downloads and other activities. Parents can also limit when the phone can be used and who can be called or texted. T-Mobile's Family Allowances (*Est. $2 per month) and Verizon's parental controls (*Est. $5 per month) offer similar features. Sprint's Wireless Web Access (free) lets parents set up restrictions online.
My Mobile Watchdog (*Est. $10 per month) is a downloadable parental-control application that has attracted some attention. My Mobile Watchdog monitors incoming and outgoing calls, emails, texts and photo messages, notifying parents if contact is made with an unapproved caller (all callers are considered unapproved until their status is changed by parents via the My Mobile Watchdog website). Reviewers have been fairly positive about My Mobile Watchdog, especially now that it is compatible with a wide variety of devices - from Android to BlackBerry to Windows Mobile.
In addition to blocking their children's ability to kill time with text messages and pictures, parents can even monitor their whereabouts. Verizon's Family Locator service (*Est. $10 per month) lets parents monitor the location of their child's phone from a computer or cell phone. For the same price, Sprint's Family Locator (*Est. $5 per month to track up to four phones) provides similar reports
When all is said and done, these types of applications will only get you so far, especially if your kids are tech-savvy. The bottom line: educate yourself, talk to your kids and use parental controls as backup, not as the sole source of discipline.

The Forest is the Therapist. The Guide Opens the Doors.
We are the leading voice for forest bathing and forest therapy in North America and Europe.
Next Guide Certification Course: Southern France, May 27 - June 3. More information
What is Forest Therapy?
Forest Therapy is a research-based framework for supporting healing and wellness through immersion in forests and other natural environments. In Japan it is called "shinrin yoku," which translates to "forest bathing." Studies have demonstrated a wide array of health benefits, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, and for stabilizing and improving mood and cognition.
The Association's Forest Therapy Guide training draws on the latest medical research, new developments in the field of nature connection, and ancient traditions of mindfulness and wellness promotion. In this training you will learn skills that are applicable in any forest ecosystem or bioregion. They can be adapted to other natural settings besides forests, and are also effective in human-built environments such as city parks and botanic gardens. They can be readily integrated with health promotion, psychotherapy, social work, recreation, nature education, employee wellness programs, conservation efforts and many other specialties.
Forest Therapy Guide Training
Certified Forest Therapy Guide Training (CFTG): This six-month training begins with a week long immersion, which is followed by a field practicum consisting of a series of structured assignments completed over a series of six months. During the practicum trainees are supported by mentoring via phone or skype and by monthly group conference calls with other participants in their cohort. Completion of a detailed curriculum is required for certification as a Certified Forest Therapy Guide (CFTG).
Forest Therapy Immersion: Also called "Council of the Waters and Trees," this four-day event is an immersion in Forest Therapy. We use the group communication practice of Council to deepen our understanding of what we are experiencing in nature. A focus of the curriculum is on healing our relationships with the more-than-human world. This event is recommended for:
- Forest Therapy Guides
- Those who are considering becoming Forest Therapy Guides (however, this event is not a pre-requisite)
- People interested in an immersive experience of Forest Therapy and/or the Way of Council.
Space is limited to 18 persons per training; apply early to hold a place

Vladimir Putin, after eight years as president of Russia and four more as prime minister, is stubbornly holding onto power.

The victory was Siren Lure's first since Aug. 20, 2006, when he captured the Pat O'Brien Breeders' Cup Handicap at Del Mar.
"It's exciting," said Steve Sherman of his maiden stakes win. "I saddled many stakes winners for my father but it's great to get my first one."
Sherman said he hadn't lost any respect for Siren Lure despite the losing streak.
"In a lot of those races since he last won he got beat three, four or five lengths by the best horses around, so it wasn't really a disgrace," said Sherman. "There were Grade 1, 2, and 3 winners in those races and that wasn't the case in this race."
A stone cold stretch-runner, Siren Lure received a great set up in the six-furlong Sausalito as four horses, including Indyanne, battled for the lead through fractions of 21.37 and 44.23.
Indyanne, a 3-year-old filly facing male rivals for the first time and making her first start since Oct. 4, was a little too aggressive early, according to jockey Russell Baze.
"She was a little too fresh today," said Baze of Indyanne, who lost for only the second time in seven starts. "We had planned to let the other speed go and sit behind them but she wouldn't have it. I tried to ease her back but she wanted no part of that.
"We were caught up in a speed duel and it set up for Siren Lure," continued Baze. "Take nothing away from that horse - he ran a big race. My filly ran hard to the wire and he caught us."
Frank Alvarado rode Siren Lure, who stopped the timer in 1:09.40 and paid $12.60 as the second choice in the wagering.
"I just wanted to keep my horse outside and out of trouble," said Alvarado. "From the three-sixteenths pole to the wire he was just flying. I mean he was rolling. I thank Steve for giving me the chance to ride this horse. It's his first stakes win and I'm glad I was a part of it."
Siren Lure is a 7-year-old gelding owned in partnership by Stuart Kesselman and Tony and Marilyn Melkonian. The Sausalito victory was worth $45,000 and increased Siren Lure's earnings to $913,844.
OUT-OF-STATE ACCOUNT WAGERING RESUMES ON GGF RACES --Horse racing fans across the country that use an account wagering company to bet on racing at Golden Gate Fields are back in action.
Fans who reside outside of California had been unable to bet on racing at Golden Gate Fields or other California tracks through their account-wagering provider since Oct. 29 due to a dispute between the Thoroughbred Owners of California (TOC) and the four national account-wagering companies over revenue sharing.
An agreement between the TOC and the account wagering companies was reached Friday, meaning customers of XpressBet, Television Games Network, Twinspires.com and Youbet.com are now able to resume wagering on the races at Golden Gate Fields.

UPDATE 1-SSE looks to sell stake in regional gas distribution network
* SGN stake sale could fetch around 1 billion pounds - Jefferies
* SSE reports 3.3 pct fall in full-year adjusted pre-tax profit
* SSE loses 370,000 customer accounts in year to end March (Updates throughout)
By Karolin Schaps
LONDON, May 18 (Reuters) - Britain's second-biggest energy supplier, SSE, is considering selling up to a third of its 50 percent stake in regional gas distribution business SGN to raise cash for shareholders or to reinvest, it said on Wednesday.
The plan to sell down its interest in SGN, the operator of two regional gas networks, in Scotland and southern England, follows a similar move by National Grid, which is seeking to sell a majority stake in its own 8.5 billion-pound ($12.3 billion) UK gas networks business.
SSE could raise around 1 billion pounds ($1.4 billion) from its sale, based on a 20 percent premium to the regulated asset base value of SGN, analysts at Jefferies said. SGN is co-owned by two Canadian pension fund investors, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Borealis.
SSE also reported on Wednesday a 3.3 percent fall in full-year adjusted pre-tax profits to 1.5 billion pounds ($2.16 billion) after making hefty impairment charges on the value of its coal and gas-fired power plants as well as its gas production business due to weak energy prices.
Like its biggest rival, Centrica, SSE has lost many customers in its retail business mainly to smaller and often cheaper suppliers who now control 15.4 percent of the dual gas-electricity fuel market, up from just 1 percent four years ago. Continued...

Best pure muay thai in mma
I was just wondering what MMA fighter uses the best muay thai. I mean in every reguard from the strikes to the clinch. Someone who if they fought a K1 fight or a traditional muay thai fight would do well.
well silva never fought in k1 i believe
but his muay thai transitions into the octagon better and anyone.
In a way hes kinda doing to muay thai what royce did to bbj in the ufc.
Silva's name was one of the first to jump to mind. Of course I think his muay thai has been transitioned to fit more of a mma style. Im still new to MMA and muay thai so I havnt seen that much of silva just a few fights.
If you want pure Muay Thai but it's not in mma look at Buakaw, John Wayne Parr, Yod, Nathan Corbett (sick elbows) Ramon Dekker, and guys like that.
Ive seen a few of those guys on the contender asia, and am even more excited to see it will now be carried on the versus channel. I like watching muay thai fights, I think they have a lot of action and its great to see talented fighters. When I watch many mma matches and I see a fighter who has a backround in muay thai, they often use a style that has been changed to suit mma. Thats why I wanted to know who has the best pure muay thai. Someone whos style is the least changed from traditional muay thai because there not intimidated by the flash knockout or they have the jits and wrestling to back it up.
No one in mma is going to have a style that is real comparable to traditional muay thai because they have to worry about the takedown. The traditional stance in muay thai would lead to someone being taken down with ease. Anderson Silva and Wanderlei Silva have some of the best muay thai in mma.
do you remember that dorion prive guy from TUf 6?
he was the black guy going crazy at the cameras.
well i went to one of his proffessional muay thai matches
and he got ko'ed so bad by a local guy that they had to bring in a stretcher for him after 20 minutes of him being ko'ed but then he walked out.
my piont being is that nuay thai is ****in rad and dorion price sucks
The best pure Muay Thai in MMA is Paul Daley and no one comes closer.
Tyson Griffin has some very good muay thai.
I guess I would have to vote for Anderson and Wandi Silva for using their muay thai in mma fights, but like was already said its not a good idea to try and be 'pure MT' in mma.

c.1300, "to strike, strike the hands together," possibly imitative of the sound of hitting. The sense of "exchange, barter, trade" is first recorded 1590s, possibly from the practice of slapping hands together as a sign of agreement in bargaining. Related: Swapped; swapping. The noun in this sense is attested from 1620s.

The SR9c can be found for around $400 also. It's my daily carry weapon and it conceals easily, but not as easily as the LC9. The trigger was the deciding factor for me. No comparison.
I am not new guns, especially shotguns and rifles. I have shot handguns plenty, just never owned one my self.
I have always been a Ruger fan and really like the LC9 & SR9C.
What is the big difference. I will be taking the concealment course soon so I would like to carry one when I'm not in my military uniform.
I have never shot either one but have shot sr22c and it is smooth.
It will be hard to find sr9c around here but I do know where the Camo LC9 is for $400 and is that a good price
The SR9c can be found for around $400 also. It's my daily carry weapon and it conceals easily, but not as easily as the LC9. The trigger was the deciding factor for me. No comparison.
The LC9's trigger get's better and better the more you shoot it. I Froglubed mine recently and that smoothed up the trigger even more. I still prefer the SR pistol's trigger. I carry the LC9 all the time and a bigger one with it when I can. the LC9 can be hid in a cargo pocket and not noticed you couldn't do that with the SR9c. It all depends on your method of carry and what you want the SR9c is very comfortable IWB.
sr9c is the way to go.
9c hides very nice in cargo pants pockets.
LC9 is smaller and has a long double action type trigger pull. Some people can't live with the long pull. I have the LC9, because it's smaller, I don't have a problem with the trigger, it's not a target gun. I can keep them in the 8" circle on an IDPA target shooting rapid fire. 2 shots on each of 3 targets in about 6 seconds from a draw. At 25 yd I can't keep them all 6 on the IDPA target much less in the 8" circle. it'll carry in the front pocket of your Dockers, even in your blue jeans but it isn't comfortable in the jeans pocket. You'll probably be more accurate with the larger gun. I guess it depends on what you want in the gun. I'm more likely to carry a 642 revolver, I don't shoot it as well rapid fire but it's 3oz. lighter than the LC9. The .38 carries better.
Plenty of SR9C's around
But comparing to two is hard.
LC9 nice small CC thin light weight some don't like a safety and mag safety some gripe about trigger pull . Most those that can't shoot anyway
SR9C out standing higher end compact 10 or 17 round mag double stack. Good shooter easy to get on target. Only draw back is it is a double stack, than makes it a little thicker.
I own both the do different duty.
I love the SR9c. Hate the LC9. Otherwise, no preference.
Look at a Kahr CM9/40. Easier to hide than a 9c. Easier to shoot than an LC9

Clutch hitting leads Freeport past Apollo-Ridge
Freeport and Apollo-Ridge got their share of hits Monday, but the Yellowjackets showed the value of those hits coming at the right time.
Matt Swartz was 3 for 6 with four RBI, and Levi Negley was 3 for 5 with three doubles to help Freeport clinch a playoff spot with a 15-7 win at Apollo-Ridge in a Section 3-AA game.
Freeport (10-2, 8-2) scored at least one run in every inning after Josh Beale's solo home run to right field started the seventh, and the Yellowjackets have posted 12 or more runs in four consecutive games.
"We've been hitting the ball really well, and I'm pleased with what we did today," Freeport coach Chris Graczyk said. "They hit the ball well in key situations, and we got guys in. That's what helps you win games."
Despite the eight-run difference, Freeport only had a 12-10 edge in hits over Apollo-Ridge (7-10, 3-6). But the Vikings struggled bringing runners home, as they had a runner thrown out at home in the fifth and failed to score in the sixth after loading the bases with one out.
"In today's game and the game against Deer Lakes (a 2-1 loss on Thursday), between those two games, we had the stage set with the bases loaded three times and we were unable to produce runs," Apollo-Ridge coach Jeremy Smail said. "What I'm trying to express to our guys is that we just need that clutch hit, and we haven't had it happen."
Freeport pushed out to a 6-0 lead in the top of the second after two-RBI hits by Ethan McCormick and Negley.
Sam Held put Apollo-Ridge on the board with a solo home run over the left-field fence in the bottom of the second, but Freeport added three more runs in the next two innings to extend the lead to 9-1.
The Vikings had a big fourth inning, aided by three walks and two errors by Freeport. Ryan Ferguson, Zach Weinel and Joe Long drove in one run each to help Apollo-Ridge get back in the game by scoring five in the frame.
"We had a bad inning out there in the field, and we'll want to clean stuff like that up," Graczyk said. "You don't want to have innings like that let games get away from us moving toward the playoffs."
Freeport regained control in the fifth with RBI doubles by Robbie Miller and Swartz that pushed the lead to 11-6. Luke Mariotti pitched for Freeport in the bottom of the fifth and allowed one unearned run over the final three innings to get the save in relief of winning pitcher McCormick.
Both teams have much to play for during the season's final week, as Apollo-Ridge is still alive in the playoff hunt.
The Vikings need help in the form of losses by both Ford City and Burrell, but most importantly, they will need to win a pair of games this week against West Shamokin to set up a possible season-ending elimination game with Burrell.
"The last three section games we have are winnable games. Burrell's going to be a battle, and I'm not looking past West Shamokin, either," Smail said. "We have a lot of respect for every team in this section, but we're capable of winning every game we're in, if we play the way we're capable of playing."
Though safely locked into a playoff spot, Freeport isn't ready to concede the section title to first-place Deer Lakes and will approach its final two regular-season games with an eye on extending its four-game winning streak.
"We're still playing for our seeding, and we have a chance of at least tying for the section title," Graczyk said. "We're not going to take our last two games lightly, against Burrell or Deer Lakes. We've got to go out and take care of our own business."

(Tribune Newspapers) [Kathleen] Callahan is one of a small but growing number of Americans who believe that some foods exert an addictive pull on them, and that eliminating problem foods is a better solution than traditional "moderation." Using the eating plan in the best-selling book "Eat to Live," which eliminates or severely restricts foods such as doughnuts and pizza and consists mainly of vegetables, fruits and beans, she has lost 60 pounds, she says, and gained control of her eating…
The science of food addiction has made rapid strides in recent years, with University of Florida College of Medicine assistant professor Nicole Avena and her colleagues showing that rats that binge repeatedly on sugar behave much like rats addicted to morphine or alcohol, exhibiting symptoms of bingeing, tolerance and withdrawal.
A 2001 study published in the Lancet found that obese people have abnormalities in brain dopamine activity similar to those seen in cocaine, alcohol and opiate addicts. And a subsequent study published in 2011 in the Archives of General Psychiatry found that that people with higher food addiction scores respond to pictures of a chocolate milkshake with more activity in brain regions associated with motivation to eat and less activation in brain regions linked with self-control.
Scientists also note the anecdotal evidence that food has addictive aspects.[Click the title, above, to post a comment.]

JPMorgan just made $6.5 billion in 90 days. Put differently, it's taken Amazon 19 years to earn $1.8 billion. $JPM $AMZN
JPMorgan, America's largest bank by assets, can sometimes function as a barometer for the U.S. economy and this quarter's results are no exception. The bank's $6.5 billion in in net income on $26 billion in revenue, which mean earnings per share of $1.60, beating analysts' expectations, was largely from a more profitable investment banking business and reserve releases.
The bank's profits from consumer and community banking, which includes businesses like mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards, were just over $3 billion, down 6% from a year ago.
In a call with analysts, chief financial officer Marianne Lake said, "If mortgage rates stay at or above current levels, the market could be reduced by an estimated 30 to 40%." According to a Freddie Mac survey, 30 year mortgage rates are at 4.51%, up from 3.42% from three months. Since a large portion of JPMorgan's mortgage business is refinancing existing mortgages to lower rate loans, rising rates mean fewer loan originations going forward. Lake said "higher rates will have a significant impact on mortgage refinance volumes and margins during the second half of the year." Dimon put it more bluntly: if mortgage rates stay elevated or continue to rise, there would be "a dramatic reduction in profits."
The corporate and investment bank's high profits – $2.8 billion, up 19% from a year ago – largely came from the bank's underwriting business, as opposed to advising, reflecting a frothy time for issuing loans and stock and a relatively placid M&A environment. Investment banking fees were $1.7 billion, up almost $500 million and 38% from a year ago. Debt underwriting was $956 million of that total, equity underwriting $457 million and advising only $304 million, down 15% from a year ago. JPMorgan is ranked first in investment banking fees for the first half of the year.
Journalists and analysts tend to snicker when a large portion of a company's profit comes from reserve releases – money that's set aside to make up for future losses counts as an expense, so when it's "released," it's a profit. That's because you can't release your way to profitability. But the $1.5 billion of pretax JPMorgan released this quarter from loss reserves for its real estate and credit card divisions show how much the large economy affects a bank with as many businesses as JPMorgan. These charts released today with the earnings show that delinquencies on home and credit cards loans have been steadily falling, which gives the bank the breathing room to do these reserve releases. In a release with the earnings, the bank said that if delinquencies continue to go down, there will be more releases later in the year.
But the net addition to JPMorgan's pretax net income was only improved $900 million from reserve items – that's because $600 million was set aside to pay potential future litigation costs. The same reason JPMorgan can make so much money in everything from credit card loans to derivatives trading is why it's such a juicy target for regulators. It's currently facing an investigation from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the federal bank regulator, for its credit card collection practices.

I have been a fan of trains ever since I was six and
traveled on one from Kansas to Ohio. During my college years it was a
convenient way to travel between Ohio and West Virginia. I would get off at
Fostoria, or Willard, depending on which train I took out of Cumberland,
Maryland. I have to admit though, traveling by train is not for those in a
hurry. Hands down a plane is much faster. It's also not for those on a tight
schedule because trains are notorious for being late. If you are anti social or have a low tolerance for your
fellow travelers, I suggest you stick to the anonymity of a plane. Going by
train is a more relaxed mode of transportation that gives you time to rest,
enjoy the scenery, and visit with the
other passengers.
The company that provides train service to Ohio is Amtrak.
The nearest boarding station to Carey is in Toledo. Most passengers travel reserved coach on short trips and
it's very economical especially over a long haul. You can travel from Toledo to
Los Angeles one-way for as little as $242.00. Unless traveling with a companion, you will be seated at
random with a stranger. You may want to consider booking a room, if the thought
of waking up in the middle of the night with someone you do not know snoring
your shoulder bothers you. The observation car is also available if you need
a time out from your seatmate.
When traveling on the train overnight, Coach is not the
most comfortable way to go. Reserving a sleeping room is highly recommended.
The price of the ticket and room are separate but the room also includes all
meals for the duration of the trip and it is considered traveling first class.
Before ruling out a room on the train, add up the cost of gas, hotels, meals,
snacks, and wear and tear on your car and nerves. You might be surprised to
find it's almost the same or cheaper.
On the first leg of our trip we took the Capitol Limited
into Chicago's Union Station Coach. From Chicago to Tucson we booked a
Roomette. First class passengers have a special lounge to wait between trains
Inside the lounge there are a couple of computers and wifi for use,
complimentary beverages, occasionally some small snacks like muffins,
comfortable chairs and a TV or two to watch. Unfortunately the day we departed
the computers and wifi were down, the TV was fuzzy, but there was plenty of
beverages and room to wait. Within the lounge you can check your luggage,
and to go sightseeing or just
check out Union Station. It is especially interesting to sit and watch the
commuters running for the Metra between 4-6 every afternoon.
When it's
time to depart the conductor comes to the lounge, checks your tickets, and
passengers are boarded separately from those traveling coach. Red Caps and
transportation are available for those who need assistance.
boarded our roomette had two facing seats with a drop down table in between. A
small closet was available for clothes and smaller overnight cases, and
contained towels and wash clothes for our use. Luggage could be stored on racks
located at the entrance of the car or kept within your room. The seats pulled
out to form one bed and the top bunk dropped down. A car attendant will prepare
your room when you are ready. Blankets, pillows, and linens are also provided.
On each coach car there are complimentary beverages such as coffee and juice, a
morning paper, and toilets and showers for your use.
On the way to Tucson in my attempt to climb down from the
top bunk, my foot slipped and I scraped my ribs as I slid off. They were
painful for about three weeks. If you too cannot climb there is an alternative.
The larger sleeping rooms feature a longer seat which when pulled out
comfortably sleeps two; it also has a bunk that drops down from the top for a
third person or two small children. These rooms have their own vanity with a
sink, shower and toilet within your car. There are doors in between some of the
larger rooms that enable them to be joined together to form a suite if
traveling with friends.
One of the biggest difference between trains and planes is
that you are allowed to take more items onto the train. Passengers bring food,
beverages, laptops, DVD players, cards, board games, musical instruments, craft
projects,etc. Just remember to bring headphones. There is no Internet aboard
the train or wifi unless you bring your own hot spot, but still there are
certain areas of the country where no signal is available. Most cell phones
however functioned fine.
If you do choose to eat aboard the train, the dining car
attendant will seat you at random with other passengers. This can result in
meeting some very interesting people. I have been fortunate to share
lunch/dinner with an Associate Producer of the Final Four, a published author,
and a young man from Carnegie, Pennsylvania, who frequented my Aunt Molly's
Diary Queen as a young boy. This trip we had lunch with former LA Dodger, third
baseman, Dick Gray and his wife. On April 18, 1958, while playing their first home game
in Los Angeles against the Giants, he became the first Dodger player to hit a
home run in Los Angeles, putting his team
ahead 6-3. His home run helped the Dodgers win their first game in Los
Angeles. If you prefer to eat in your room, or
navigating the train is too challenging the car attendant will fetch your food
for you.
The downside of train travel is you never know when you
might encounter a delay. Freight trains have the track priority. Often a
passenger train will sit on a sidetrack waiting for the freighter to pass.
Trains are subject to weather delays such as too much snow, water flooding the
tracks, accidents, and hazardous spills. We were supposed to leave Tucson,
Arizona, at 1:00 am and the train was three hours late leaving Los Angeles due
to an electrical problem on one of the cars. On that same trip, we were bussed
from Chicago to Toledo because a derailment in Indiana had left hazardous waste
on the tracks and the cleanup was still in progress.
For those of you who are still planning your summer
outings, you might try a small trip into Chicago. You can do a one-day tip
leaving Toledo at 6:16 am arriving in Chicago with plenty of shopping time to
spare, and return at 9:15 p.m The
price ranges from $58.00 to $74.00 roundtrip. The early and later the departure
the cheaper the fares will be. Reservations can be made online or by calling Amtrak
or logging onto http://www.amtrak.com

We will 'ultimately end' AIDS: US researcher
By Jean-Louis Santini, AFP Monday, May 30, 2011, 9:32 pm TWN
WASHINGTON -- Thirty years after the AIDS epidemic surfaced, hope of conquering the deadly epidemic has never been greater, according to a longtime U.S. leader in the AIDS fight, Anthony Fauci.
This hope has been spurred by recent advances toward a vaccine and new breakthroughs in treatment and prevention, said Fauci who has headed the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NAID) since 1984.
"Over the last one and half years we have had several important advances which when you put them together and combine them are now pointing very strongly to the fact that we can essentially be able to ultimately control and obviously ultimately end the AIDS pandemic," he told AFP.
Previous discoveries include how male circumcision can reduce by almost 65 percent the risk of transmitting the human immunodeficiency virus, the effectiveness of vaginal microbicides and drug treatments that can prevent an infected pregnant mother from passing the disease to her child.
More recently, two clinical trials have shown how effective antiretroviral drugs can be in preventing the spread of the incurable disease.
A study that ran from 2007-2009 and was published late last year showed that a combination of these drugs taken orally by uninfected gay men lowered their risk of becoming infected by 44 percent.
That rate rose above 70 percent when the pills were taken regularly, said Fauci.
A clinical trial released this month involving mainly heterosexual couples in which one was infected and one was not showed a near-elimination of the risk of transmission when the infected partner began an early regimen of antiretrovirals.
This trial is "extremely important because it proves the concept that when you seek out and treat them early rather than wait for their disease to advance, you have not only the well-known beneficial effect of being good for the individual patient, but you have a very powerful secondary effect of preventing the transmission from the infected partner to their healthy sexual partner," said Fauci.
The NIAID and its researchers have been at the forefront of the fight against AIDS since the epidemic first surfaced in June 1981.
Researchers have found some hope in the hunt for a reliable vaccine after 20 years of failure in a 2009 clinical trial carried out in Thailand.
"The vaccine trial in Thailand was only 31 percent effective, however that is at least a proof of concept that we can do better."
In 2010, teams of researchers identified two antibodies in a single individual which when combined in the lab blocked 90 percent of HIV strains known in the world.
Now that research is honing in on what specific part of the virus should be isolated for a vaccine.
"So if we are going to have a vaccine this year or next year or the year after, we don't know, but we are certainly making considerable progress."
In the meantime, a more comprehensive use of existing methods for prevention must be applied in the developing world in order to put the brakes on the epidemic, Fauci said.
"In the low- and middle-income countries, we only have about 30 to 40 percent of the people who really need therapy getting access to therapy," he said.
"The only way we can address this — and this is the focus of what is going on over the past couple of years — is prevention of HIV infection."
There are 2.7 million new infections each year, he added.
This gap will be difficult to bridge, warned Fauci, especially since the global economic turndown has slashed research budgets as a time when scientists need US$10 billion to US$15 billion more per year than the total US$11 billion currently available for research.
"Unfortunately there is a very difficult constraint on resources throughout the world," he said.

It is not clear from your introduction exactly _which_ notebook you are
talking about? Do you have a title or a MathSource item number for the
notebook? I am assuming that you're speaking of MathSource Item 0205-546
"Filter Design by Pole-Zero Placement" by H. Joel Trussell.

The problem is with the author's use of the Coefficient[] function, with
which the "ivar" tag is associated. Mathematica does not allow you to
invoke Coefficient[] with an integer (1).
If you rewrite the assignments for ncoeff and dcoeff so that they use
ncoeff = Table[
ncoeff = Map[Re, CoefficientList[numerator,z]];
dcoeff = Table[
dcoeff = Map[Re, CoefficientList[denominator,z]];
The code works fine.
I am copying the notebook's author in on this message so that he can fix
the notebook and resubmit an update to MathSource if he wishes.

I'm sorry to hear about this
When did this start?
Just this morning - I woke up with the pain
Do you have any medical conditions or take any medication?
No I don't have any medical conditions and I don't take any medication.
Is the pain constant?
But is not stopping me from doing anything
How bad is this on a scale of 1-10?
Probably only 3 but when I in hale deeply or bend its about 6-7
is the pain sharp or dull?
Hard to explain, its a dull pain when I am sitting doing nothing but when I bend or inhale deeply it is sharp
I see, this is likely an intercostal muscle strain
The muscle between your ribs
Oh thanks I thought is might be something like a muscle strain but I haven't done anything too exerting lately. My only thing I can think of is I have had to pick up my 2 year old a lot as he is not sleeping well.
Thanks anyway, if it is still an issue next week I will go to my doctor!
You're quite welcome
If you still have questions on this topic please feel free to ask
Thanks I will! :)

Ahhh Joakim, how you have been the source of many baseball fan boners across America. Your time with the Royals was nothing short of fantastically increderiffic. Four years of prime-time excellence, two years with sub 2 ERA's, two more below 3. 60+ innings of pure talent a season, a two time All-Star and easily one of the best reliever's in the game. Then 2011 went and happened. You rose to the top only to come crashing down so hard, your ERA rose to 4.03 and you only recorded barely over half as many saves as you did last year (43 SV's in'10, 28 SV's in '11). I can only imagine how brutal the fall would have been had you pitched for a primetime organization like the Yankees or such. The Tommy John surgery that took you out of action explained a lot about the big dropoff in the eyes of many fans, especially me, but it still remains to be seen if you can recapture the lost magic of yesterday. So Angel fans, do you think Soria is worth pursuing? He is just coming off of Tommy John surgery and wouldn't even be able to pitch until May, so he'll miss the beginning of the season. Pitchers do usually come back stronger from Tommy John surgery and with Soria that make him a huge investment, especially for this beleaguered bullpen. Unfortunately nowdays all about squezzing every last dollar out of a contract and Jerry Dipoto has already stated that he does not like to go big on relievers, that could mean avoiding Soria if his price gets too high. With the Yankees involved it most likely will, and Soria already expressed interesting in setting up for his old idol Mariano Rivera so it might not even be worth it to the Angels to try and pursue him. With all the money Dipoto is saving I could see him spending a bit extra for a primetime reliever like Soria. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dipoto offer him a respectable $5-6 million 1 year contract to let him reestablish his value. I can imagine they'll use the Rays re-signing of Joel Perlta on a two year $6 million deal as a floor for negotations. Adding in the flow of the market (aka the jackassery of spend happy GM's) I don't see Soria signing for any less than $5 million. Dipoto has a good eye for relievers as he's shown so far, if he decides whether or not his value equates to his market value then we'll have to trust his judgement. The only thing that bothers me is Soria made it sound like setting up for Mariano Rivera was a compromise for not closing, a title I'm not sure he would be handed were he to sign with the Angels given his uncertainty. By the time he'd be pitching for the Angels a month would have gone by and Frieri would have already settled in as the closer for the Angels, and unless he agrees to set-up I'm not sure he'd be happy with this. Soria project's to be a low risk/high reward reliever. If Dipoto saw fit to offer Soria a one year contract that Soria accepts it could very well shape the Angels bullpen into a death trap for opposing teams, at worst the Angels will be stuck with a bad one year deal. I know with the bullpen problems the Angels have been having the past few years one bad contract could really screw things up in the 'pen, but to me the risk's are heavily outweighed by the rewards. Even if Soria delievers half of what he used to be capable of before his Tommy John surgery the Angels will be set up fantastically with Frieri and a hopefully resurgent Downs setting up Soria to close the door on any team unlucky enough to stand before him. Even though Jerry Dipoto might say he doesn't like working free agency to find relievers, but I think Soria is at least worth kicking the tires on. I'm sure Dipoto has it in him to offer at least one reasonable contract to a free agent reliever this offseason that I hope to god isn't Jose Valverde. Soria just fits the Angels gameplan this offseason all too well, a reliever who could come in at a very respectable price and possibly deliever a monumental season. Get on that phone Jerry. [follow]

Sweet tooth in hard times keeps chocolatiers going
By Richard Leong
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Chocolatiers have been concerned about the impact the recession would have on their business but a sweet tooth, even in hard times, has kept them going.
Chef Laurent Richard, of The Ritz-Carlton hotel in lower Manhattan, feared the massive chocolate Valentine's Day sculptures he had created the past seven years would be canceled,
Other chocolate makers, big and small, were bracing for their business to worsen, yet clinging to the hope that sweets would provide easy comfort in uncertain times.
So far, the recession has not quashed Americans' chocolate appetite. U.S. chocolate giant Hershey Co posted stronger than expected earning and even small producers have managed to stay afloat.
"Like every other businesses in America, we may be in a fight for our very survival, but it's made us better at what we do," said Francis Schott, who recently launched "The Restaurant Guys Chocolate" with his partner Mark Pascal.
Schott and Pascal charge $36 for 16 pieces of hand-made chocolates with flavors that include elderflower and bergamot.
"It's an indulgence that a lot people can afford," said Schott, who serves the chocolates in one of his restaurants and ships up to 150 boxes of chocolates a week to online customers.
Most chocolate makers aim to evoke a sense of comfort or indulgence but Stephen McDonnell chose a different path. Continued...

I have several fillings that are cracked and need to be replaced. Because I'm having thyroid/adrenal issues that are related to mercury, I need to have these replaced sooner rather than later. I have an almost two yr old and a three year old. Does anyone have any insight into getting these removed while breastfeeding. I know it's not the best option, but the only other alternative I see is weaning them, which I really don't want to do!
I can pump and dump for several days but is that sufficient? Is there a web site or protocol to follow before and after. I've heard different things mentioned (vit C, for example) but am looking for something more concrete.
Thanks for any help, mamas!!
that's a tough call - even when done properly, there will be some exposure. Id be very hesitant to do this while breastfeeding. Perhaps you could postpone the removal until you are finished BF?
There is absolutely a protocol to follow. It is very important for you to go to a dentist that knows what he is doing. If your dentist is not farmiliar with these protocols don't let him do it and find another dentist farmiliar with removing mercury amalgams.
Hale (Medications and Mothers' Milk, 2004, p. 528) recommends that "the replacement of amalgam fillings should if possible be postponed until after pregnancy and breastfeeding as the removal of amalgam fillings while breastfeeding could potentially increase the transfer of mercury to the breastfed infant." If replacement of an amalgam filling is necessary, Hale recommends that the dentist take routine precautions when removing the old amalgam: "use copious amounts of cold water irrigation to minimize heat, use a rubber dam to isolate her mouth from the particles, and use an alternate source of air (oxygen) to minimize mercury vapor inhalation."
If the people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." Thomas Jefferson.
I weaned.
IMO, if mom is having health problems due to the mercury, then the kids are at higher risk than most kids, and I am not convinced that the benefits of breastmilk outweigh the negatives of the increase in mercury exposure. My son was 21mos old when I weaned him before I got my amalgams out and I am very glad I did it.
It's not just a short-term issue, getting your amalgams out can change a balance in your body. In the month that followed my removal (safe protocol), I had a lot of systemic changes (without a change in my supps), and even up to 6 months out, I had mood and energy changes that, from my reading (Andy Cutler's writings) are typical in the post amalgam removal time period. It's not a fun thing to consider, and I put off getting my amalgams out for a while because I was hesitant to wean, but for my son, it would've been very bad if he'd still been nursing through that.
thanks so much for the help! So at this point, since we'd like to have more children (and with all the chelating issues) , would it be better to wait until we're finished having children? Or do I have to consider the danger to them from loose mercury fillings? So frustrated at having to make these decisions!!
You can get amalgams replaced with composite without chelating. If they're starting to fall apart, it's probably better to get that taken care of when you plan it, rather than when you're forced into doing something.
For me--I was already chelating my 2 kids, and I'd like to have more kids that I don't have to chelate. And my health was in such shape that I really did need to address it--having more kids was not at all guaranteed given how my health was, and certainly I was not in a place to be a good parent, I felt too bad. Not everyone's in the same boat, but if you're having health issues, getting the amalgams removed soon (so you can do it when it's convenient for you, not, say, in your first trimester) and then working on your health without chelating, but giving yourself some buffer time between having your amalgams out and TTC, could be a reasonable move. I don't know your circumstances, but something to consider.
I have metal issues and I know it. I have 2 kids and had them close. I do want another someday but am waiting so I can be the best mom and give him/her a healthy start. I am totally fine with it but if I only had one kid and wanted another it would be heartbreaking to tell me to wait a few years.
Mama Bear, what did you end up doing about this? I am going through the same thing right now, only my son is 17 months. He will definitely put up a fight if I weaned him. I dont want to traumatize him emotionally either and was wandering what you ended up doing and how you did it? Thanks!
I went through this. I had one amalgam that needed to be replaced. My daughter was just over a year at the time. I was really concerned. I OBSESSED about it. And then I decided to just have it fixed. So it is done. As far as I can tell my dd and myself as just fine. I still don't think amalgam is something to be cavalier about, but sometimes you don't have much choice, or info. I didn't wean, pump or anything.
