Talk to me about EPI
I'm starting to wonder if my pup has EPI and considering testing for it. He isn't super active(I've argued that he's just low drive but it's really really low), he's thin( pushing six months and 32#) I'm not concerned about size per say except that he doesn't seem to be growing at a normal rate. And he hasn't necessarily lost weight because he's always been thin. The fact that he doesn't seem to be getting progressively thinner which is what makes me doubt EPI is the case. He has frequent loose stools but they can be corrected, at least short term, with pumpkin in his meals.
What else would I look for before deciding to have the testing done?
On a side not, please understand I know that shepherds are/need to be lean puppies. I'm good with that. He's just exceptionally small to me. Even non GSD people comment on how small he looks for his age.
I would ask your question over on epi4dogs to see if anyone else there has a similar story. Not every EPI dog presents with the same symptoms.
Forum - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
But if you just want to rule it out the test is not a big deal and it only takes a few days.
Good luck and I hope he doesn't have it :)
35 pounds for a 6mo male is slim. The only way to know for sure is to have your Vet perform the blood test.
The thing is he may have EPI, and his pancreas at such a young age may still be present and working so you may be able to save what is there with added enzyme replacements (assuming he has EPI) so if it were me (having an EPI dog myself) I would ask for the test.
Harry was diagnosed at about 2.5 years old. When I think about Harry, I can remember him even at a very young age, possibly younger than 6mo with having very bad diarrhoea and thinking there is something not quite right - I wish I had of listened to my instincts and knew about EPI.
Having now experienced treating and managing an EPI dog, I will know to test much much sooner if I suspect EPI.
Here are some older threads that may help you compare weight but 32Lbs at six months does sound very small. Do you know anything about his parents?
Welcome to the official home of the German Shepherd Dog, a dog respected and admired throughout the world for its versatility, loyalty and intelligence. - Search Results for how much did your gsd weigh
We went to the vet this afternoon and the vet started him on treatment for EPI. He got a b12 shot and will start enzymes with dinner here shortly. We didn't do the blood test since we didn't go until late and Tego had eaten already. So we're going to see how the next week goes and then do the test. He said if I start seeing any improvement that will pretty much tell us it's EPI. We're just going to see how it goes. Thanks for the input, and the other forum that was suggested has been extremely helpful. Now it'll be a bit of a waiting game.
Let us know how does :)
The EPI group is wonderful, you will get lots of support there. I don't know what I would have done without them when Nikki was first diagnosed.
The people on the EPI group have already been wonderful! I'm so grateful to have been able to spend some time searching it today. If I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have gone to my vet today and gotten the answers that I did. It's still not conclusive but we're headed in that direction!
That makes me so happy to hear.
It is wonderful forums like this and the epi4dogs website can help people and their suffering dogs find a solution to medical issues as well as get people thinking and talking about similar experiences.
Good luck with your EPI management, it is not too difficult at all and your GSD will finally start to feel much better with replacement enzymes - imagine eating all the time but feeling like you are starving to death at the same time.
Here is a post from the EPI group that describes how a person with EPI feels, I thought you might like to read it. When Nikki had surgery last year I spoke to the vet tech taking care of her and she also has EPI. She told me it was extremely painful, these dogs really suffer a lot :(
Topic: MY RECENT STAY IN HOSPITAL WITH AN EPI PERSON - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
I hope you get it all figured out soon!
Maybe you guys here can help with my decision....
I went ahead and scheduled the blood test for Monday morning but now I'm slightly hesitant just because of the price tag. Obviously I want to know for sure what it is but there's always that nagging feeling that it could be something else and it would be wasted money.
What would you do, knowing what I've said about Tego? My biggest concern is his activity level, or lack there of. My vet said that is completely out of the ordinary. He doesn't run and play like a normal puppy. He'll bound around after the big dogs for a couple of minutes then he's done and comes back to lay at my feet and nap. If I throw a ball too far, over 15-20 feet, he'll trot a couple steps and then stop and watch it roll away and come back to me. But when he was on steroids he would bound and pounce after it until he got it.
Also, I think his situation is slightly different in that he's a growing puppy, or at least trying to grow. I can't mark any weight loss because he is developig, albeit slowly. Is there anything else I should look into before making the plunge on the test? He's been checked for worms and dewormed just in case, checked out negative for giardia... and honestly I'm not sure what else would be a possibility.
What would you do? I'm sorry, I just need a sounding board!

MTS Sensors Offers 90-Degree Mount Option
Product Announcement from MTS Sensors
CARY, N.C. (January 11, 2011) -MTS Sensors has developed a 90-degree electronic mounting option for the Level Plus® Model MR and MG liquid-level transmitters. The 90-degree electronic mounting option is designed to relocate the single-cavity, explosion-proof housing from directly on top of the standard industrial pipe to being offset from the pipe at 90 degrees. This new mounting option creates a smaller footprint for the electronic housing which allows it to be installed into smaller places without the need to bend the pipe and degrade the level transmitter.
"The introduction of the 90-degree electronic mounting option allows MTS to further meet the needs of our customers without sacrificing performance," said Lee Aiken, product marketing manager at MTS Sensors. "By not bending the pipe, MTS can add this option without degrading the accuracy or maximum length of our level transmitters."
One specific application where the 90-degree electronic mounting option is needed is for magnetic level gauges (MLG) that have both a top and bottom flange. For a MLG with only a bottom flange the electronic housing is allowed to pass the top of the chamber in order to keep the full measurement range. For a MLG with a bottom and top flange the electronic housing must stay below the top flange, which effectively reduces the measurement range of the level transmitter attached to the MLG. By adding the 90-degree electronic mounting option, the electronic housing is rotated away from the MLG and allows for an additional four inches (104 mm) of measurement between the two flanges.
The model MR analog transmitter offers unsurpassed flexibility to meet most process application conditions ranging from 508 mm (20 in) to 12,192 mm (480 in). Up to two 4 to 20mA loops are available for analog indication of level, interface, and/or temperature and HART® Communication allows the MR sensor to indicate and display all three measurement variables simultaneously.
The Model MG level transmitter satisfies the demand for a digital communication interface in the liquid-level marketplace for vessels from 508 mm (20 in.) to 22,000 mm (866 in.). Outputs for the Model MG include Modbus, DDA (proprietary ASCII protocol), and FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus. The Model MG transmitter features 3-in-1 measurement of the product level, interface level, and the average temperature for up to 12 temperature points while utilizing a single process opening, thus eliminating the need for a separate level and temperature transmitter. Designed for inventory control, the Model MG is accurate to at least 1/16th of an inch and also provides volume measurement from a 100-point strap table that the user loads into the transmitter. By incorporating the strap table into the transmitter, the user does not need multiple copies of the strap table or to code the additional formulas.
For more information on MTS Sensors and liquid-level measurement, please contact: Lee Aiken, MTS Sensors Division, 3001 Sheldon Drive, Cary, NC 27513. Phone: (919) 677-2373. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or visit http://www.mtssensors.com.

NBC News:
Olympian Oscar Pistorius cried in court on Monday and friends of slain model Reeva Steenkamp were "visibly distressed" as the double-amputee was indicted on a premeditated murder charge.
On the day that would have been Steenkamp's 30th birthday, Pistorius stood in the dock of the courtroom in Pretoria, South Africa, and wiped away tears.
He also held hands with his brother Carl and sister Aimee. The court later set March 3 as the trial date for Pistorius.
Dubbed "Blade Runner" because of his prosthetic legs, Pistorius will face a premeditated murder charge in relation to the fatal Valentine's Day shooting of Steenkamp, a 29-year-old law graduate.

OK, it seems grass carp will not eat crested floating heart (see below).
"Currently, no known insect herbivores specifically feed on this species. Additionally, grass carp (Ctenophryngodon idella), the weed-eating fish used for biological control of many aquatic weeds, have also proven to be ineffective in controlling crested floating heart. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources has reported winter lake level draw downs of Lake Marion, which expose the plants to drying and freezing, have failed as a means of control. Mechanical harvesting is also reported to be ineffective in the native range of the plant. Because of crested floating heart's fast, aggressive growth and vegetative spread, chemical control is likely to be the best way to control infestations and remove new colonies. Various forms and combinations of herbicides have been used but with no long-term success."
But has anybody seen evidence of ducks feeding on this plant? Seems similar to other lillies that ducks (ringnecks, etc) like to feed on. Since grass carp will not eat, we need to protest all the restocking of carp in future.
Would much rather have hydrilla which ducks love than crested floating heart if they will not eat.

Am I "over decorating" my rooms?
Am I "over decorating my rooms"?
I just bought a house that has great potential! All the walls are varying colors of neutrals and it looks like it's out of a magazine. I'm so nervous about where and how to hang framed prints. I have TONS of framed art I've been playing with (botanicals, antique maps,etc.). I'm getting really into the textured fabrics and burlap.
Here's my question:
I'm wondering if there is a formula or rule of thumb for how many photo sets should be in one room. For instance should all 4 walls have framed pics on them??? Seems a little overkill to me. Or should I have one wall that's a focal point and really arranged with framed prints and decorative items that accent it THEN have the other 3 walls more sparse?
I have a big framed piece over the mantle with lots of decor and books placed on the mantel. It looks great! But now what do I do to the other walls? I'd like to hang a series of 3 vintage butterfly artwork in this same room. Then a large Cassat print on another wall. For the 4th wall should I hang something other than a framed print? I love lots of art on walls but I still want it to all tie in well together. One cluttered wall looks great, but what to do with the rest of the room to balance it out.
Also, the hallway leading off this room has an eclectic picture wall gallery.. Am I just cramming too much in one house?
Welcome, first it's hard to tell without pic's.
how about posting some? It's really a matter of
what you like, a lot of stuff or a little bit of stuff.
I happen to like a lot stuff. But, as far as overkill,
I think it depends on how big the rooms are; if the
rooms are spacious enough then it can handle more
My suggestion is do not put too many frames in one place because it will only make the room crowded. Instead put them to a place that looks boring to you. You can put 1 or 4 frames in one wall - 1 if it's really big. The rest scatter them around your house (same rule 1 if its really big them up to 4 frames if small).
I actually think that you can incorporate a lot of pictures on walls, provided that they have some relationship to each other.
You can have a gallery wall where you can put pics from top to bottom. I have seen it done and looks great.
They can have all the same shade of frame to them to bring them all together.
I agree, as long as the pictures have some type of relationship to each other, it would be considered a grouping and not really individual pictures.
I have some people who have purchased up to 7 of my photos and have an area of their house with a long hallway, where they hang all of them. I've been to a couple of those clients, and the way they lay them out and chose scenes that flow together, it seemed to work out well. They also chose all the same style frame when hanging them all on one wall.
I remember years ago on a talk show, it might have been Oprah :laughing:
where they were talking about decorating. They showed how you can have a wall filled with family photos with all different color frames. They then showed the same photos hung on the same wall with all the same style frames of the same color, as in all the same wood tones, all brass, all pewter.. whatever you choose, as long as they were the same, the pictures then became the focal point, and not a wall filled with all colors of frames. It looked a lot nicer than the first scenario.
Do not put frames everywhere but where it actually needed especially on the blank and bright wall. Keep your decor simple and sober with little bit trendy look.
It sounds like you have a lot of new space to fill what fun projects! Have you considered adding some edge with wallpaper? I added some beautiful prints to a few of my rooms recently and I am so happy with the results. In my living room, I added an accent wall behind the couch and hung some family portraits on it, and it is absolutely stunning. It catches everyone's eye and has received so many compliments! Good luck with your decorating!
Upload some pictures of living room.
well its been just about 11 months and no reply from the original poster, guess we won't be seeing any pics to help further
Yes so many framed pieces shouldn't be in the drawing room as it will give a messy look.
It is a good idea to put art on walls but if you are doing so you should have to keep in mind that don't hang it on all the 4 walls . And also if you are putting it on a particular one then try to add arts of different shapes and size. On other walls you can try various different things like bookshelf or paint like stripped wall painting or can add texture to your wall's paint by furling yarn around the roller.
the walls can really get too "crowded" when you put up too many pictures, but on the other side - You and Your family are the people living there, so i think as long as you all like it there is no problem.
I had the same problem with my house. Less is more! You can always add later.
I agree. Do what you like. It's your house!
I would think a few larger focal pieces is enough. You could then do clusters or varied items on the remaining spaces. Sconces, sculpture, etc

Multiple sources close to the Minnesota Legislature are saying that a Vikings deal is closer than we think. Recent developments indicate that the stadium drive is coming off skids this week and things will start moving in the House of Representatives.
For the past few weeks lawmakers have been asking for three things:
- The support of the Minneapolis City Council – which it received last Monday.
- An equitable agreement between the charities and the state regarding electronic pull tabs – Which MPR is now reporting a deal has been reached.
- A back up revenue stream other than general tax funds that the state can pull from in the event electronic pull tab revenues fall short – which House File 1485 shows will pull a back up revenue stream from a luxury tax on suites, Vikings scratch offs and a ticket surcharge.
As of Sunday afternoon, April 1st (not a joke) MPR's Tim Nelson reports that King Wilson, Executive Director of Allied Charities of Minnesota accepted a final counter offer from the legislature that would give the charities a more equitable share than previously offered. We should point out that the previous offer wasn't being held up because it awarded more to the Vikings than it did to the charities; it was because the state wanted more than the Vikings and charities combined. This was never a dispute between the Vikings and Allied Charities of Minnesota.
What to do if electronic pull tab revenue falls short
In early March stadium bill author Julie Rosen testified along side of the Minnesota Department of Revenue who stated revenues exceed the dollars needed to meet the amount promised the charities and fund the $398 million proposed by the state describing the forecast as "extremely conservative". Several legislators on Senator Ray Vanderveer's committee expressed concern that it still wasn't enough.
"At what point do we stop believing the Department of Revenue," asked Sen. Rosen.
To address those concerns, tomorrow Representative Morrie Lanning will be proposing that fans ante up by contributing through user based fan fees, and if needed go towards paying the state's share. If the electronic pull tabs revenue does meet or exceed revenues the money collected from user based fan fees could be put into the general funds or used for facility maintenance or future stadia needs.
Our hope is that if that game plan gets traction in the House that it will get the eight votes needed in Vandeveer's committee to move the bill forward in the Senate too.
On the same page
Monday at 6pm, the House Commerce and Regulatory Committee hearing will be the first time the Vikings, Minneapolis and Chief stadium bill authors will be on the same team, pushing for the same legislation. The legislature has no more excuses or places to hide. It is now down to principle – They either want the Vikings to stay and will do something about it or they take issue with an existing form of gambling administered in a different form.
House Commerce and Regulatory Chair Joe Hoppe (R-Chaska) is feeling optimistic, "Maybe I'm too optimistic, and maybe I'm naïve but there's room to get this thing fixed".
In the Red Zone
We have frequently said that getting the support of the Minneapolis City Council was going to be the toughest part. Friday night Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak went on Almanac and stared down the "tough as nails" Cathy Wurzer.
"We are not going around the referendum. The money that will pay for the stadium does not violate the charter. For the first time ever they will give us some control locally. We'll use that for some local uses like the Target Center. That doesn't violate the charter. Certainly, our attorney doesn't feel it."
"We've solved one problem after the other. We've figured out how to redo the Metrodome and have the Vikings gone for only a year. We've come up with a very good funding strategy. Now it's really up to the state. The Governor has been amazing on this, both Senate leaders Republicans and Democrats have come forward; it comes down to the House."
"Minneapolis stepped up. After many years, we have never been this close. And if the House delivers, we'll get a stadium."
~ Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak
Rybak is spot-on accurate. And with next week's hearing(s) in the House we just might see the twinkle of light forming at the end of the tunnel. Business leaders, organized labor and Vikings fans are now all pushing legislators to get this deal done.
Please take a moment and contact your lawmakers here. You can also contact the members of the House Commerce and Regulatory Committee here, asking them to pass the Vikings stadium bill through their committee.
With this recent momentum we can secure the Vikings a new home in 2016 by passing a stadium bill in April!

Why The Buybacks At Diasonics?By
Some smart-money investors are rediscovering Diasonics, a maker of X-ray and ultrasound systems, following the company's heavy stock repurchase in 1990. The shares, which climbed from 1 3/4 in November to 2 3/4, traded as high as 5 in 1989. One pro thinks management has "something up its sleeve" in buying back a total of 14.5 million shares since last summer, which has reduced shares outstanding from 72 million to 58 million.
Some analysts expect Diasonics to report earnings of 20~ a share for 1990, vs. a 29~ loss in 1989. That rebound has prompted whispers that management is considering a leveraged buyout. In November, 1989, Diasonics sold its Magnetic Resonance Imaging unit to Toshiba for $ 204 million, pocketing a profit of $70 million. Some of that money has gone into the stock buybacks.
One fund manager says that, based on projected 1991 earnings of 35~ a share plus cash of $1.20 a share, the stock is worth $ 4.70. He thinks Diasonics is attracting interest from Japanese and European companies, since foreign sales account for 50% of revenues.
Diasonics is big in Europe, where its mobile X-ray systems account for a large part of total sales. Its European unit, Sonotron Holding, "is solidly established in Germany and continues to perform well, with revenues up about 25% in 1990," says Value Line analyst Andrew Colonna. U. S. sales of ultrasound equipment have been sluggish. But Diasonics' Spectra system, said to have improved measurement and display capabilities, should remedy that. A Diasonics spokesman said he isn't aware of any LBO plans or takeover interest from other companies.

By Jim Offner for The Packer
Better days lie ahead for Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., according to Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, the company's chairman and chief executive officer.
Abu-Ghazaleh, speaking on a conference call with analysts Feb. 27, said the Coral Gables, Fla.-based company was coming off one of its worst years ever, but he added that cost-cutting measures and better pricing likely would lead to better times this year.
"I'm sure it will not surprise anyone that I'm not sorry that 2006 is behind us," he said. "The final three quarters were the most challenging period in our history. The first two months of the fourth quarter were more of the same."
Fresh Del Monte said costs linked to restructuring its business and falling sales in certain markets led to a $59.9 million loss for the fourth quarter, down from a $3.5 million loss during the same period a year earlier.
Sales fell 3 percent, to $737.6 million from $757.9 million a year ago, mainly due to restructuring of the company's vegetable product line and underperformance of its prepared foods, Abu-Ghazaleh said.
Lower supplies and prices in Europe also left a negative mark, the company reported.
"We faced higher input costs, a difficult banana market in Europe, and lingering issues in our prepared food business. In response, we closed underperforming operations, eliminated unprofitable products, managed our banana supply in key regions and drove improved performance in our tomato and fresh-cut operations," Abu Ghazaleh said.
For 2006, the company recorded a $145.1 million loss, or $2.51 per share, compared with a profit of $106.6 million, or $1.84 per share, in 2005.
Sales slipped 1 percent, to $3.21 billion, from $3.26 billion in 2005.
But, better times lay ahead, Abu-Ghazaleh said, adding that restructuring efforts already had begun to show signs of impending recovery.
"We began to feel a turnaround in December," he said. "This continues, due to our concerted efforts. We are enthusiastic about a number of positive signals we've seen in the marketplace thus far in 2007."
Fresh Del Monte shares closed at $16.42 Feb. 26 on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock had a 52-week range of $14.40-22.45.

To thoroughly customize your SharePoint site, you'll need to use a custom CSS. SharePoint offers a way to specify a single CSS file to use via the "Master page" settings for the site. However, using this approach still limits you to customizing only those IDs and classes that are included on the pages by SharePoint. Moreover, using this setting applies to both site and system pages, which may not be desirable.
With these downsides in mind, the best approach is to create a custom master page and include references to one or more custom CSS files. Follow the steps below to include a custom CSS file in your master page.
- Open SharePoint Designer (SPD) and connect to the root level of your site's site collection.
- In SPD, open the "Style Library" folder.
- Create a new CSS file and name it (e.g. "customstyles.css").
- Open your master page file in SPD.
- In the <head> tag add a link to your custom CSS just above the content place holder named "PlaceHolderAdditonalPageHead" as follows:
<link href="/Style%20Library/customstyles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Your custom master page is now using your new CSS file in addition to all of the CSS files SharePoint uses out-of-the-box. The idea is that you are taking advantage of the "cascading" property of cascading style sheets by layering your custom styles on top of what SharePoint creates in order to alter the SharePoint look-and-feel as desired—like a skin.

I wonder how much shelf life Rodney Harrison has?
We all bitch about Steeler commentators like Cowher and Hoge, but I am sick of hearing from Rodney Harrison.
Anyone here about him bitching about Rob Gronkowski dancing at a Patriots funded party after they lost the Super Bowl? Sure he got wild and was dancing with his shirt off, but so what? Who's the guy hurting? Maybe dude was trying to lighten the mood, maybe he realizes there is more to life than football.
Word round Buffalo, Gronk & my hometown, is that he was a bit of a tool. I personally thought he was classless when he and his family jumped around like idiots when he got drafted, but to have fun at a party?
Harrison was twice voted the dirtiest player in the NFL and also suspended for PED's. I don't think he should be running his trap about anything.

There is an exciting opportunity to join the Board of a new homecare company Shine Homecare based in Watford
There is an exciting opportunity to join the Board of a new homecare company Shine Homecare based in Watford as a non-executive director (a voluntary position) and at the same time to help raise vital funds for three fantastic local charities including The Peace Hospice, The Hospice of St Francis and Iain Rennie Grove House Hospice Care.
Shine Homecare is a new high quality Care Agency which offers a wide range of personal care services to clients at home.
This new service helps people live at home as independently as possible with the support of healthcare workers. The care is available either short or long term and can vary between personal care, to companionship, to help getting to appointments or trips out and about. Shine Homecare is a pay for service which aims not only to provide quality care but also to generate profits which will be reinvested into more free care for our Hospice patients.
Shine Homecare operates in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire and is a joint venture the first of its kind -established last year by the three hospices. The hospices have a combined heritage of nearly 100 years of caring for people in our local communities and all Shines care workers are trained by the hospices to the highest standards. All profits are used to provide more free care for hospice patients.
David Ellis OBE, Chair of Shine Homecare and of the Peace Hospice said 'This is a fantastic opportunity to make a huge difference to Shine Homecare and at the same time three local charities. The Shine Board is looking for two non-executive directors, one with sound current or recent knowledge of the homecare sector, and another with senior financial expertise. The right candidates would play a significant part in ensuring Shines success. In turn, this would generate profits which will be used to fund more free hospice care.'
All our non-executive directors are volunteers and generously give their time.
If you might be interested in becoming a non-executive director, please contact Judeth Neville on 01442 869556 or email her
Suitable candidates will be invited for a confidential, no-obligation discussion about the role.

Should i get a 83' 633CSI
6 Attachment(s)
Hello BMW community, I'm mark and I'm new to this forum, this is my first post!
I just wanna know from your guy's point of view if i should trade my 1993 dodge Dakota for a 1983 633csi with 150k miles. the bimmer runs and drives, only has a minor oil leak and a clear coat that's pealing, with a little bit of rust that's common for a 83'. look at some pictures and let me know what you think.
Thanks :)
How are you using the truck now? Daily driver, occasional use or seldom used? Do you have another vehicle to drive if/when the 633 needs work? ( and it will ) If the truck is a second vehicle you can spare I'd say yeah, do it.
Go for the E24 but have a cheap DD. Best of both worlds, IMO.
I don't use the truck. i ride the bus since it's free, but i wanna start driving(i don't like trucks), that's why i'm gonna trade my truck for the bimmer.
Thanks, i have some other offers like the 1986 325es, but it needs work.
How well do you know the present owner? Ask questions about the condition of the car. Why is he trading it? Good thing it looks to be stock. At 150K, the motor is fine, usually. But, the peripherals may be due.
Are you good with your hands? Pull the dipstick & see if you can see it through the oil. Does it run? Push down on the front fender & release; does it rebound once? (OK) Twice, it may need shocks. Repeat at the rear.
If the rust on the left shock tower is only at the surface, get rid of it asap! Other spots can be replaced eventually. Check around the tail lights for rust. I'm new to this website, so, I'll also suggest "Bigcoupe.com". It's free & there are some super gurus there too.
Never jump into something that needs work right now, unless it's on purpose! Get some tools & a book!
Have fun & good luck,,,,Greg

First off: are you the David Park who wrote the Book on Classical analouges to
quantum physics? I would love to find time to read that book.
I understand what you are saying. As Ben Franklin put it "Where there are not
pains, there are not gains." But he also said "Laziness is the mother of
invention." There is an extraordinarily powerful editor called emacs. Emacs
has a GUI decendent called Xemacs. I realize that a person can do a lot with
such a tool. I found that I was spending more time trying to configure it,
and learn its arcane idocincracies, than i was writing code with it. X/emax
is perhaps the most powerful editing tool, per line of code, in the world. I
found myself using other, less powerful, but easier to use tools. I have now
found a tool, nedit, which seems to be filling the middle ground. What I am
saying is that Mathematica seems to be *overly* arcane. Sure it is different than say
Java or C+-+-, but learning to use it seems far more difficult. The Java
programming language is a good example of a tool with an excellent support
structure built around it. It's not just the novelty of the Mathematica language that
presents a problem. The help system is one example. As far as I know, one
cannot execute a search with a simple boolean expression using the help
Two years ago people on the SuSE Linux mailing list were telling me that
people who wanted nice "hand-holdy" interfaces where exactly the kind of
people who had no business using Linux. Now the biggest news in Linux is the
KDE ( www.kde.org ), and the GNOME (www.gnome.org). Remember, Einstein begged
his friend Marcel Grossman to help him with tensor mathematics because he
(Einstein) realized that it held the power to solve the problems at hand.
Compare, say, Herman Weyl's _Space, Time, Matter_ to Misner, Thorn and
Wheeler's _Gravitation_. One of the great achievements of _Gravitaion_ was
its intuitive presentation of tensors. (Not that I have read all of either of
these books.)
What I am looking for is a better way to communicate the underlying structure
of Mathematica in a way that is intuitive to the person coming to it anew. I'll be
the first to admit that I am having a hard time grasping the fine points of
using lists and etc. What becomes more frustrating is when I spend several
hours working homework problems in Mathematica, that is, creating the vector diagrams
to represent problems in mechanics, only to have a system crash destroy all my
work because I failed to back up the work periodically, and Mathematica doesn't do it
for me.
As regards Linux. I'll give Bill five more years, max, and he will be hanging
out with the folks at Wang Labs. As I said two years ago, 'there are three
things that lead to the large scale success of a software product: user
interface, user interface, and user interface.' And what I said the people
who criticized my opinions about this, was: 'if linux is all that powerful,
them it should be the ideal platform for developing a superior user
interface.' I will say the same thing about Mathematica. If Mathematica is all that great
(and I believe it is) then it sould be the ideal tool to use to create a
useful mapping between user expectations and underlying computational

Marijuana legalization will be on California ballot
By Dan Whitcomb
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A California voter initiative that would legalize possession and sale of marijuana has qualified for the November ballot, state election officials said on Wednesday, in what supporters called a "watershed moment" for their cause.
Passage of the measure, by no means certain, would make California the first U.S. state to legalize marijuana. Backers believe the state could be at the vanguard of a national movement toward decriminalizing the drug.
"This is a watershed moment in the decades-long struggle to end marijuana prohibition in this country," said Stephen Gutwillig, California director of the Drug Policy Alliance, which has spearheaded the ballot initiative.
"Banning marijuana outright has been a disaster, fueling a massive, increasingly brutal underground economy, wasting billions in scarce law enforcement resources and making criminals out of countless law-abiding citizens," he said.
California Secretary of State Debra Bowen said in a written statement that her office had certified the measure for the November 2 general election ballot after backers submitted the required number of signatures on petitions.
Bowen said that proponents, who needed 433,971 valid signatures to qualify for the ballot, had submitted 694,248 that were verified through a random sampling.
Legalizing marijuana appears to have broad support in the state, with some 56 percent of Californians surveyed in an April, 2009 Field Poll saying they favored making it legal for social use and taxing the sales proceeds. Continued...

Protests at Funerals May Come to an End in Florida if Legislation Passes
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP)
Legislation that would expand a ban on protesting, picketing and other disturbances at all funerals, memorial services and burials in Florida, rather than just those involving military honor details, is on a fast track after final committee approval Tuesday.
Florida's existing law, a federal statute and similar legislation in other states are largely a response to military funeral protests by a church based in Topeka, Kan.
The Rev. Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church congregation claim God is punishing the United States for tolerating homosexuality. Protesters often carry signs with message such as "Thank God for Dead Soldiers."
The church also has targeted other events. It recently threatened to picket funerals for 20 first-graders and six adults who were killed in December by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Protesters can face up to a year in jail and $1,000 fine for violating Florida's existing law. That penalty would remain unchanged under the new legislation.
The Senate Criminal Justice Committee unanimously approved that chamber's version (SB 118) on Tuesday. A similar House bill (HB 15) earlier cleared all committees there. Both now are ready for floor votes after the legislative session begins March 5.
The Senate bill sponsored by Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Fort Myers, initially would have expanded the law to include funerals, memorial services and burials for military personnel without honor details as well as those for emergency response workers, elected officials and minors
The committee, though, amended it at Benacquisto's request to include such events for anyone.
"We were told by multiple people that there's extreme constitutionality concerns by creating a protected class of person, whether it be a military person, an elected official or a child," said Matthew Hunter, an aide to Benacquisto. "Those are where we're seeing the picketing and engaging, so to try to get to alleviate that concern we broadened it."
The legislation covers prohibited activities within 500 feet of the property line of any home, cemetery, funeral home, church or other location during, or within an hour before and an hour after, a funeral, burial or memorial service.
Sen. Chris Smith, D-Ft. Lauderdale, said it's a good bill, but he was worried that it doesn't go far enough. He said he someone might avoid arrest by simply sitting down and holding a protest sign.
"I don't think that qualifies as picketing," Smith said. "If we can maybe put a better definition of someone just sitting there holding a vulgar sign and trying to fly under this as we go forward."
The U.S. Supreme Court in 2006 reversed a civil judgment against Phelps in Maryland for disturbing the funeral of a Marine who had been killed in Iraq. The justices ruled Phelps was protected by the First Amendment because he had exercised his free speech rights in a public forum and had addressed an issue of public concern.
The high court, though, noted even such protected speech can be regulated. The ruling also involved a civil claim rather than criminal laws such as Florida's. Those laws in other states have since been upheld by lower courts.

A simple but tasty Squid recipe
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
- Degree of difficulty:Low
1.5kg fresh squid, cleaned and cut into strips
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
rocket leaves for serving
salt and pepper to taste
Place the cut fresh squid into a large bowl.
Combine with olive oil, garlic, soy sauce and chilli, refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
When ready to eat, heat a BBQ plate to high heat, the hotter the better.
Cook the squid in 3 portions.
If you overcrowd the BBQ plate, the squid will stew rather than fry at a high heat so be careful not to overcrowd.
Toss the squid for 40 seconds on the BBQ plate or until the flesh turns white.
Once cooked, transfer to a clean bowl and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
Repeat process until all of the squid is cooked.
Serve immediately.

"Ivory is beautiful, but the only place it belongs is on elephants."
Above: Elephant family in Amboseli, Kenya. Increasing demand for elephant ivory, rhino horn and polar bear skins is driving the slaughter of imperiled animals for the sake of profit.
NRDC is on the front lines of the battle to change that. Recently, the Obama Administration proposed new rules that would effectively close the loopholes in the current law and impose a full ban on all imports of commercial ivory, no matter what the ivory's purported age. The potential of these tough new safeguards to eliminate the ivory trade in the United States has aroused stringent opposition among a disparate but well-connected coalition, including high-end auction houses, art dealers and even the National Rifle Association (ivory is often used as a decorative inlay on expensive firearms). "These are businesses that profit from the status quo," says
Pepper. "Of course they don't want the law to change. But until the U.S. takes meaningful action to stop the ivory trade here at home, we lack the moral authority to press for change around the world. In the meantime, we're fast nearing the point where there's no turning back — the elephants could be gone."
Left: Tons of seized ivory were crushed last year in Colorado, part of a new federal effort to crack down on illegal wildlife trafficking. Above: Sample of the six tons of ivory confiscated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service since the late 1980s.
To counter the few narrow special interests that would keep the ivory trade alive, NRDC is raising public awareness about the disastrous toll poaching is taking on African elephants and channeling that concern into
an outpouring of support for new federal protections. At the same time, we're urging the Obama Admini stration to stand strong for elephants in the face of political opposition. In New York, California and Hawaii, the three states that account for 70 percent of ivory trafficking in this country, we're working to advance state legislation or other safeguards that would strengthen the enforcement of an ivory trade ban by stopping intrastate sales. In Europe we're helping to tighten wildlife trade laws that contain loopholes for traffickers, and in China our U.S. legal experts are sharing their firsthand experience with counterparts in NRDC's Beijing office as they map a strategy for strengthening that country's wildlife conservation laws as well. "Every trinket, every ring or necklace, every inlaid box or picture frame — every piece of ivory comes from a dead animal," says Pepper. "Ivory is beautiful, but the only place it belongs is on elephants." Take action at: www.nrdc.org/ivory 5

A lifestyle that includes daily exercise is a well-publicized preventative method for lowering incidences chronic diseases related to inactivity. A sedentary lifestyle is known to contribute to obesity and unhealthy blood profiles, which are known to promote chronic diseases. Specifically, increased triglycerides directly increase bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C), and decrease good cholesterol (high density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C). Elevated triglycerides occur as a result of a diet rich in fats in a phenomenon called postprandial lipemia, an independent risk factor coronary heart disease (CHD). Most people spend the majority of the day with elevated triglycerides because of repeated feedings and an American diet that is abundant in fat. Single exercise sessions and exercise training have been shown to attenuate the effects of dietary fats and lower postprandial triglyceride accrual.
Dr. Altena's most recent research focus has been the study of multiple short exercise bouts that are accumulated throughout the day. Recently, Dr. Altena reported that the intermittent exercise model reduced triglycerides after consuming a meal containing fat. Other research agrees that single continuous sessions and accumulated exercise are similar for lowering triglycerides. Also, Dr. Altena has discovered intermittent exercise training as an effective method for lowering total plasma cholesterol in normolipidemic males and females. These cholesterol changes due to accumulated exercise are another important step taken by science and research for further understanding the role of exercise in the prevention of chronic diseases related to inactivity.

" Brand: Revell "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Revell 1:72 scale Lockheed F-22 Raptor is a fairly accurate reproduction of the United States latest air superioty fighter. It is not without it's drawbacks however, just like its real life counterpart.
The F22 was devised to replace the aging F15 in 1981. After a lengthy competition between Lockheed and their various competitors, they were awarded the contract to develop their fighter in 1991. However, with cutbacks on defense the initial order was significantly reduced and their is no further intention to develop the aircraft. On july 21 2009 the order was given to stop production of the aircraft.
Now the kit itself has a fantastic amount of detail. This is not a big surprise for Revell Kits. It has a skill level of 4, 116 parts and once completed has dimensions of 264mm x 188mm. As with most kits, paint and glue are not included but decals are. They have been chosen to represent three different variants based at Langley, Virginia. Instructions as expected on Revell kits are clear yet detailed. The twelve page booklet guides you through construction in 61 steps.
There are multiple customisation options with this aircraft. Obviously you have the landing gear as in or out, but also because of the stelath element to this plane, the missiles are located in internal bays, so you have the choice of doors open or shut. You also have external fuel tanks.
My one problem does relate to the landing gear. I chose to go wheels up and probably should have figured the problem out a lot sooner during test fitting as the bay doors just do not fit and required a lot of filler. Also if you decide to leave the canopy up, you will need to shorten the hydraulic arm a little.
It's a good kit and a faithful reproduction, but the issues regarding the landing gear doors and canopy do grate a little. Espescially when you consider the price for this 1:72 kit is a bit higher than average. But overall if you like the plane, you're probably going to buy this kit.
Scale 1:72 Release date 03/2008 No. of parts 116 Length 264 mm Wingspan 188 mm Skill Level 4 Original details Type description Superiority fighter Year/Period 1997 Origin USA Engine capacity 2 x 15.810 kp Speed 2124 bhp The F-22 is the latest combat aircraft in active service with the US Air Force. This new fighter offers multi-role capabilities and its potential performance is superior to that of all competing contemporary types of aircraft. The F-22 will primarily replace the F-15 in its current role. It has a higher speed, longer range, the latest offensive and defensive avionics and good stealth characteristics. Equipped with two Pratt & Whitney F110-P-100 turbofan engines each with 10,701 kp thrust the F-22A, unlike the present generation of fighters, can reach a cruising speed of over Mach 1 without afterburner. In addition to a 20 mm cannon it has three internal weapons bays, located one on each side of the fuselage and one in the ventral position. They can accommodate guided missiles or GBU-32 bombs of the new JDAM generation. Due to its design and capabilities the F-22A is regarded as the Premium Fighter by the USAF and will also replace the F-117A Night Hawk. The 183 Raptors delivered to date are mainly in service with 1st Fighter Wing in Langley, Virginia, in addition to Elmendorf and Tyndall. Model-details: New Tool - Surface details with recessed panel lines - Detailed cockpit with filigree ejector seat - Detailed landing gear - Landing gear optionally extended or retracted - Detailed air intake ducts - Detailed exhaust nozzles - Detailed arrestor hook - 3 detailed weapons bays

Tokyo police arrested a man Monday for allegedly riding a bicycle without brakes on the rear wheel, in violation of the Road Traffic Act.
This is the first time the rider of a brakeless bike has been arrested after defying repeated requests by police, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The 31-year-old man told police he had no idea he would be arrested for riding the brakeless competition bike, police sources said.
The law requires both front and rear wheels to be equipped with brakes. Fines of up to ¥50,000 can be levied for violations.

My cousin invited me to Maryland (Eastern Shore) for a 3 day hunt next week. I live in NY and would have to fly.
Seeing that it's next week I have to purchase plane tickets ASAP, luckily Southwest flies from here to Baltimore every hour or so.
My question is this: Are the ducks flying?
If the situation was reversed I'd tell him to stay in MD, they are long gone from here (if it cost him $300+ like it's going to cost me). If it was free then come on up and we can squeak out a few.
I can afford it, but I don't feel like spending that kind of money and seeing 4 ducks fly by 5 hunters with my cousins itchy trigger finger.
NOTE: I've always wanted to go, just never had the chance, plans always fell through. I've done well for myself up here this year (best year ever) and can stand to not get more ducks.

New for 2011!
Designed by John Barresi in collaboration with ITW, the Kymera blends old and new school elements to produce both trick and precision ability in a wide wind range. The first prototype frames donated and framed at The KiteShoppe! Graceful side slides, jacobs ladders, spin landings to wap-do-waps, this is a true all-rounder fit for a fun day at the beach or serious competition. Built to drive and track with sharp, stable cornering when loaded up with a good wind, the Kymera is a great kite for tight banking turns and arcs with small powerful inputs, backed up by its smooth style throughout a wide range of tricks. Icarex polyester with Sky Shark carbon spars. 7'-2" x 3'-2". 11.1-oz. 58/36" case. Includes two 15-gram and two 5-gram tail weights to use in any combination that you choose. 90-lb. Spectra line recommended. Choose from Lime, Blue or Red sail. Available June 2011.
Posted by Watty on 8th May 2013
This is the only dual-line I carry in my bag. It has a bit of an old-school feel, and I love the sound it makes. It's quite precise in flight, and is capable of doing any trick in the book. If you are used to a more trick-oriented kite, it may take a bit to get used to the inputs required for slack-line stuff on this kite, but it will do them with the right amount of finesse.

Small engine repair
My power washer (Honda engine) would start but couldn't maintain speed unless the throttle was only half-way and the choke was on. I am leaning toward the carb.
Are there any good online tutorials for small engine repair?
Also, what are some good websites for buying small engine parts?
I had the same problem on my Honda powered air compressor once. Turns out the problem was the spark plug. The old one showed spark when removed & grounded to the block, but under pressure when installed it wasn't half firing. 1 new plug and the problem disappeared.
After a new plug (good suggestion) I'd just take it down to my local lawnmower shop. They have a lot of Honda experience.

WHRB, (95.3 FM) got its head together Saturday with its first rock show in 10 years to the strains of the overwhelming Chuck Berry classic, "Rock and Roll Music" ("any old time you choose it"). The radio station had persistently refrained from Rock & Roll over the last decade, presumably to avoid sullying its air channels with anything so low-brow as a dancing beat. But there is no keeping down a good backbeat ("you can't lose it") and the new hour-long rock program will be broadcast at 6 p.m. on Saturdays for the rest of the year.
The show, entitled "Good Soup", is hosted by Josh Freeman '70. In the first installment Freeman outlined some of the themes around which future programs will be built, such as one illustrating the 'Geographic Idiom in Rock', one show consisting entirely of hit-songs written by Jerry Ragovay ("Time Is On My Side"), entire shows devoted to a single major rock group and perhaps one program of the obscure versions of well known songs.
Next Saturday's program will be an hour-long special on the Who--according to Freeman, "one of the all time great rock groups".

Harden being evaluated, World Peace awaits suspension
As the basketball world awaited a decision by the NBA on a possible suspension of Los Angeles Lakers forward Metta World Peace for throwing an elbow at Oklahoma City Thunder guard James Harden on Sunday, Harden was home trying to recover.
Monday evening, the Thunder issued a statement that Harden underwent tests in Oklahoma City following the NBA protocol for concussions that the league instituted this season. The statement said he participated in a series of "limited activities per NBA guidelines but has additional steps that must be taken under the league-mandated concussion policy" before he can return to action.
Harden will be re-evaluated Tuesday and is listed as day-to-day.
Harden, who did not return to play in the game, complained of a headache but he was cleared to return to Oklahoma City with the team late Sunday.
Slightly more than 24 hours later, Charlotte Bobcats forward Tyrus Thomas was ejected on the same flagrant-2 foul assessed World Peace for throwing elbows at the Washington Wizards' James Singleton late in the first quarter.
World Peace's elbow, however, was thrown much more violently.
Together, these incidents do not cast the NBA in the best light as its playoffs open this weekend. The question for the Lakers and Thunder now: will their players be available to play?
The Thunder are at home against the Kings on Tuesday and close their regular season Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. It would seem unlikely Harden will play Tuesday.
The Lakers did not schedule any media sessions for Monday. In any event, spokesman John Black said, "It wouldn't be appropriate for us to comment on any anticipated league action. However, we will comment after the league makes any announcement."
A suspensioin seemed likely to come Tuesday and it undoubtedly will keep World Peace out of some of the playoff games. The teams could meet up again, in the second round.
What the NBA did do Monday is fine Philadelphia 76ers coach Doug Collins $15,000 for verbal abuse of a referee at the end of Sunday's 109-106 overtime victory against the Indiana Pacers.
World Peace, who changed his name from Ron Artest in September, had avoided major controversy on the court since he was suspended for 86 games in November 2004 for engaging in the brawl in the Palace of Auburn Hills when he played for the Pacers and against the Detroit Pistons.
He previously had been suspended 12 times in his 13-year career but only once, for one game, in his three seasons with the Lakers.
Just last April, World Peace won the NBA's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, primarily for his work in mental health awareness.
The list, from the NBA, on the dates the league issued regular-season suspensions:
Feb. 21, 2001: As a Chicago Bull, one game for his role in an in-game altercation with the Milwaukee Bucks' Glenn Robinson
Jan. 4, 2003: As an Indiana Pacer, three games for throwing a television monitor and a cameraman's camera onto the floor following the conclusion of a game vs. the New York Knicks.
Jan. 29, 2003: With the Pacers, four games for confronting and making physical contact with Miami Heat coach Pat Riley, for taunting the Miami bench, for committing a flagrant foul-2 on Caron Butler (pushing him into the stands) and making an obscene gesture toward fans.
March 9, 2003: With the Pacers, one game for exceeding the maximum allowable flagrant foul points in a season.
March 13, 2003: With the Pacers, one game for again exceeding the maximum allowable flagrant foul points in a season.
March 20, 2003: With the Pacers, two games for again exceeding the maximum allowable flagrant foul points in a season.
March 19, 2004: With the Pacers, one game for hitting the Portland Trail Blazers' Derek Anderson in the head with a forearm.
April 19, 2004: With the Pacers, one game for leaving the immediate vicinity of his team's bench during an altercation.
Nov. 21, 2004: With the Pacers, 73 games (and 13 games during the team's playoff run) for his role in an in-game incident between Indiana and the Detroit Pistons.
April 24, 2006: With the Kings, one game for making contact with the head of San Antonio Spur Manu Ginobili with his forearm.
July 14, 2007: With the Kings, seven games for pleading "nolo contendre" to infliction of injury on a spouse.
