98 catera gives heat only at high rpms
I figured out how to get heat in my Catera, I didn't think of turning the AC off, but since I have I've been getting some heat, but nothing that warms the car up in 10 degree weather. I've noticed more warm air driving, as expected, but nothing decent. But if I'd run at around 3000 rpms parked I'd notice that 90 felt like 90, 75 was 75, etc. I'm not an auto wizard so I don't know what's up, I wouldnt think that the car just takes forever to warm up, because I took it on the highway and around town for a couple hours with little heat increase. Anyone with good input to help me fix this gets my friendship. Thanks.

Re: 98 catera gives heat only at high rpms
Could it be your Auxiliary Water Pump, (Driver side, next to battery)?
I believe that is the pump that circulates hot water to the heater core, but I am not 100% positive.
Check that it is running. If not, check the fuses and relay.
IIRC, the Auxiliary pump circulates the hotter coolant directly from the block, so you get hot coolant quicker.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

laid around like a bunch of slugs. okay, nick did rip up the carpet upstairs and pull the pad out. then it was pure laziness. bunch of mythbusters and get smart.
made this for dinner. twas okay. not sure if it hit the spot.
these however, were a bright spot in the long day that was yesterday. that and the dinner we had at cappos with nick's mom afterwards. yumminess.
lesse. since i've been a complainer the last few posts... what else have we done.
mantle is up. looks great. now just have to find stuff to put on it. pictures soon. have to take some 24 week shots tomorrow too... so maybe it will be one ginormo picture post. going out with a bang for the last of the 30 posts in 30 days...

Ms. SCHWARTZ. As August begins, millions of young people across the country are preparing to head off to college. Fall brings not only a return to course selection and roommates and football games but also to high college tuition bills. In my home State of Pennsylvania, the average cost of tuition and fees tops $12,000 for a public 4-year school and $32,000 a year for a private university. These high costs force 70 percent of Pennsylvania college students to take out student loans.
One of the biggest decisions facing students and college graduates is not just the amounts they borrow but who their lenders will be and whether they will be private lenders or Federal loans. Federal loans are simply a better deal. They offer lower, fixed interest rates, consumer protections and manageable repayment options. Private student loans, on the other hand, typically have uncapped, variable rates, hefty fees and few consumer protections. From 2001 to 2008, the private student loan market exploded, increasing from $5 billion to $20 billion. Lenders loosened underwriting standards and often cut school financial aid offices out of the process.
While students may need private loans, they should know the differences between private lenders and Federal loans and be fully informed of the differences in cost and obligation. Unfortunately, right now, a majority of student loan borrowers who are turning to more expensive student loan programs of private options do so without fully exhausting all of the Federal student loan options available to them. This means that student borrowers unnecessarily take on increased costs.
That's why I've joined with my colleagues, Representatives Jared Polis and Tim Bishop, to introduce the Know Before You Owe Act in order to make sure that students and their families have access to vital information regarding their student loan programs. The legislation requires schools to counsel students on the financial aid options available to them, and it requires private lenders to adopt commonsense steps to protect student borrowers. The Know Before You Owe Act will empower students and their families to make informed decisions about financing their educations.
Access to higher education is a top priority for middle class families. They know that higher education is one of the keys to being able to succeed in a competitive 21st-century marketplace. They are willing to invest in their futures by taking out student loans in order to afford college. We need to ensure that students have full and complete information about the most affordable student loan options available to them in order to fight back against those who might take unscrupulous advantage of families facing tough financial decisions.
I urge my colleagues to join with me in supporting this important legislation and to better ensure that millions of Americans can afford college without taking unnecessary long-term financial hardship and risk.

Pagan prisoners given time off to worship the Sun God Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1336181/Pagan-prisoners-given-time-worship-Sun-God.
Hundreds of criminals are to be given four days a year off prison work – to celebrate pagan festivals.
Prison governors have been issued with a list of eight annual pagan holidays and told pagan inmates can choose four to celebrate.
The festivals include Imbolc – The Festival of the Lactating Sheep – which falls on February 1 and is dedicated to the goddess Brighid.
Another is the festival of Beltane, which falls in early May, devotees are urged to celebrate the Sun God with 'unabashed sexuality and promiscuity'.
The Yule festival involves pagans 'casting spells' and dressing up as ghosts.
Pagan inmates may even be allowed special food and drink on their days off.
Traditional pagan food include Ewe's milk for Imbolc, Simnel Cake and eggs on Spring Equinox and Roast Goose on Autumn Equinox.
On Samhain – celebrated on Halloween – pagans by tradition go apple bobbing.
It is the latest in a series of rulings to protect convicts' rights and ensure equality among different faiths.
New guidelines entitled 'Religious Festival dates for 2011′ state that all prison staff must be made aware of the pagan festival dates.
It states: 'The Prison Service is committed to ensuring that prisoners from all religious faiths are given the opportunity and facilities to practise their religions.'
It lists the eight main festivals before adding: 'Most Pagans celebrate the eight festivals set out, but depending on the particular tradition would attach particular significance to certain days.'
'Because of variations in emphasis between different Pagan traditions it has been agreed with the Pagan Federation that prisoners may choose four festivals on which they should not be required to work.'
Prisons are told they must prepare specific foods if it is a requirement of a prisoner's religion. But the guidance states the food should be prepared inside prison kitchens and the cost must be 'proportionate to the number of prisoners involved'.
Paganism was first recognised by the Prison Service as a religion more than nine years ago.
The number of prisoners declaring themselves as pagan has tripled in six years to 366 last year.
Worshippers are allowed to keep tarot cards, a hoodless robe and a twig to use as a wand in their cell.
They can also keep incense, a piece of jewellery and rune stones.
Skyclad, or naked worship, is banned.
Pagan inmate Mark Stewart, who is serving a three year term for drug dealing at HMP Elmley in Kent, wrote to prisoners' newspaper Inside Time this month to complain about how Pagans are treated.
He claimed Pagans had been 'sidelined' and 'marginalised' in favour of more popular religions.
He wrote: 'There is a perception amongst most people that Pagans are devil worshippers, etc, but that is so far from the truth.
'I am an earth loving person who thanks Mother Earth, spirits and ancestors for what I have today.
'I do practise witchcraft, but only for good.'
Sources said there was 'no question' of prisoners being served roast goose or boar.
A Prison Service spokesman said: 'The Prison Service issues annually a list of religious festival dates for the year ahead – this includes key dates on which prisoners registered in that affiliation can be excused from work.'
It comes a day after it emerged that an underworld crime boss jailed for the murder of two grandparents has won the right to be called 'Mr' by prison guards.
Colin Gunn complained that he was not treated with sufficient respect and, under guidelines introduced by Labour, prison officers are required to address inmates as they wish.

As I mentioned in Friday's Week in Review, this dress would be particularly excellent to wear when you're wedding dress shopping. I know it feels silly to put a lot of thought into your shopping outfit, but trust me. During a long (long, long, long) day of shopping, you'll be happier if properly outfitted. So here's EXACTLY what to wear.
Tommy Hilfiger Three-Quarter Sleeve Chambray Dress from Macy's, $59.99.
Did I forget anything? Did you wear anything really unfortunate while you were wedding dress shopping?
The first time out, I wore a dress—and a thong. And that's it. THAT made for some mortifying moments!

how difficult
Hello,I would like to get my carb. rebuilt,1980 deville, 6.0 liter, 4 barrel rochester,I plan to remove it, send it in to get done and put it back on myself, is this a difficult job, any suggestions or stuff to look out for. tnx. for any advice.
Re: how difficult
pulling a carb off is pretty simple just becarful when taking off the fuel line you don't want to twist it.
Re: how difficult
Very easy. 4 bolts. Disconnect the fuel line, throttle linkage, emissions stuff, cruise control, whatever. If you need to, take a picture before you take it off so you can remember where everything goes.
Re: how difficult
Since you're a first timer it would probably be a good idea to mark every vacuum line. Other than that you'll need to use 2 wrenches on the fuel inlet for the carb to avoid twisting the line like cadillacdeville was saying. The rest is pretty straightforward, since you're not trying to rebuild it yourself (what a PITA that is.)

I have owned 2 caddys with the 1980 368, one carburated and one fuel injected. Both motors were excellent. They can be tuned to give the same power and reliability as a chev 350.

Baby Earrings
I am a mother of a 4-month old baby girl. She is very adorable and charming. She smiles a lot like a doll. However, when I bring her out for a walk, people would see her as a boy. I'll say 3 out of 10 people thinks that she is a boy. My mum suggested to have my baby's ear pierced. Now I would like to know the appropriate age for babies to have their ears pierced. I am a little bit concerned that it might cause my baby some pain and it could be uncomfortable for her since her head is still lying on her sides during her sleep.

Documentary films come in all shapes and sizes, and have many different aspirations. Those of the great American Fred Wiseman seek the truth by appearing strictly neutral and carefully building up evidence you can interpret for yourself. Plenty of others are specifically designed to tell us the truth as their makers see it.
There is no more persistent film-maker of the latter type than Anand Patwardhan. As a passionate believer in socialism and a fighter against privilege and corruption, he is India's version of Ken Loach.
He often works alone and with scant resources. He is his own cinematographer, editor and interviewer, and he frequently goes where others in India fear to tread. The result is films such as the magnificent Bombay: Our City, about the thousands of pavement-dwellers trying to survive in the face of the city's often cruelly engineered attempts at slum clearance. Few of Patwardhan's considerable body of films have been shown in the UK but Tate Modern has given us a chance to see a retrospective that concludes this weekend with two of his finest.
All too often he is censored, or refused altogether, for either the cinema or television in his home country. Faced with such opposition, he shows his films to the workers' co-operatives who have helped him, with encouragement and finance, to make them.
Tonight's screening is of the full-length and ambitious War and Peace, which is centrally about the death of the pacifism espoused by Gandhi that in the end resulted in India exploding a nuclear device in 1974, and the Pakistani response years later.
Patwardhan movingly shows his own sad reaction to Gandhi's assassination and, when the Indian device burst upon the world, the flag-waving "nuclear nationalism" expressed by the absurd slogan "The Buddha smiled".
On Sunday there are two performances of another extraordinary film, Jai Bhim Comrade, crammed with protest songs and poetry, about the vilification of the lower castes (25 per cent of the population) that is still prevalent now.
Patwardhan notes that two Dalits (formerly known as Untouchables) are killed and three raped every day, and shows us the appalling attitude of many of the increasingly powerful middle classes to what they feel are the lower orders. Fourteen years in gestation, this is one of Patwardhan's most shocking films.
You don't have to agree with all of his argumentation to realise he is a brave and passionate film-maker of significance well beyond India.
War and Peace is now showing at Tate Modern (020 7887 8888, tate.org.uk)

ge washing machine top loader
just put on a belt washed a couple of loads the belt breaks again, why?
Wrong belt, too tight, too loose, pullys out of allignment, bad bearing in pump, bad bearing in motor, bad pump, bad motor, bent motor shaft, bent pump shaft, loose motor mount, loose pump mount, loose drum mount broken drum mount, twisted chassis, or several combinations of the above.
Other than that what would cause it?
(jasper...that was a funny response....)
Ok....all joking aside....
Belts don't break very often......looking at how it broke will give you an idea of the cause...
If the edges are frayed....alignment....or a pulley is damaging it....
Clean break? Bad belt....

Meanwhile, on the renovation front... lovely hanging lights have been installed in the main bedroom and walk-in-robe, making this space complete. That means the first ever Chambers Before & After shots are coming (as soon as I find time to iron the bedding for photographs). The iron orb chandelier also arrived, and we unpacked it only to discover a very odd brown splotchy finish over the metal work. The lovely ladies from Two Pairs were on to the supplier in a flash, so I'm sure we'll have the kitchen light hanging soon. And my long awaited landscape painting for the entrance has arrived and is currently at the framers. I'm thrilled with it and can't wait to show you!

Does anyone know whether the Belkin 802.11G Wirless USB Adapters are compatible with VMware to use with BT 3, since VMware does not detect my internal Atheros card? If not, does anyone know any low priced but decent USB devices I could try?
Also, if I was using the USB version of BT 3 and booting it from my USB drive, and I then logged into BT 3 and downloaded a word dictionary for brute force (around 2GB) to the desktop of BT 3, will this saved data be there if I were to restart my laptop and boot BT 3 up again...i.e will it be there all the time instead of disappearing after re-booting like with the live CD since it doesn't save permenantly on the CD? In other words, I want to be able to use my USB drive as a saving source for BT 3...is this at all possible?

Brief Synopsis
A soldier returning from World War II finds love with a lady swimmer.
While working at a city pool in Los Angeles, swimming instructor Cynthia Glenn catches the attention of Robert G. Delbar, a visiting businessman. Robert falls instantly in love with Cynthia and embarks on an aggressive campaign to win her affections. He begins by sending a bouquet of flowers every day to Cynthia's home, where she lives with her absentminded aunt Nona and her uncle Hobart. Robert takes Cynthia to the horse races, the ice follies and fancy restaurants until she finally succumbs to his persistence and consents to marry him. Following the wedding, Robert and Cynthia take their honeymoon in the mountains, at the Hotel Monte Blava, but Robert is forced to leave on business a short time after they arrive. Left to entertain herself at the resort, Cynthia befriends Nils Knudsen, the kindly star of the Metropolitan Opera. Nils, who is on a strict weight loss diet, dines at the hotel under the watchful eye of his sweetheart, Sarah Fenway, who is also the manager of the hotel. Cynthia also befriends Major Thomas Milvaine, a celebrated young war hero, and Maude Bancroft, the daughter of the businessman accompanying Robert to Washington. As the days pass, Cynthia teaches Thomas how to swim, while he regales her with war stories and accompanies her on mountain hikes. Meanwhile, Nils repeatedly tries to cheat on his diet, and even refuses to sing with Tommy Dorsey's orchestra unless the band leader brings him a steak. Though preoccupied by his appetite, Nils finds time to counsel Cynthia, who has fallen in love with Thomas. As the day of Robert's return approaches, Thomas and Cynthia grow increasingly frustrated that their brief romance will soon end. Maude, who is also aware that Cynthia and Thomas have fallen in love, secretly arranges a week-long delay to Robert's return, but the delay makes their inevitable separation all the more painful. One afternoon, Cynthia sets out for a solitary hike in the mountains to take her mind off her heartbreak, but Thomas finds her in the woods and joins her. As night approaches, the two hikers realize that they are lost, and decide to camp in the woods overnight and try find their way back to the hotel in the morning. Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Nils is overjoyed when he meets a doctor who tells him that he can forget his diet and eat and drink just about everything he desires. When Robert returns to the hotel the following morning, he discovers that his wife did not sleep in her room the previous night, and angrily accuses Cynthia of infidelity when she returns with Thomas later in the day. Cynthia calls Robert a "stuffed shirt," and later admits that she is in love with Thomas. After agreeing to an annulment, Cynthia moves back home to be with her aunt and uncle. Nils, realizing that he must help reunite Cynthia and Thomas, arranges a romantic serenade for Cynthia outside her aunt and uncle's house. With vocal help from Nils, Thomas captivates Cynthia with a song, and the resumption of their romance is all but assured.

Teachers at three Salt Lake City schools will get a little extra hospitality this month, thanks to high test scores and the Grand America Hotel.
Salt Lake City School District Superintendent McKell Withers has introduced a new rewards program that will honor schools that raise students' test scores.
That program launched in partnership with Grand America and the Salt Lake Education Foundation will mean complementary breakfast pastries during December for the top-performing schools.
The inaugural winners are Bennion Elementary, Wasatch Elementary and Northwest Middle.
"We have set a certain level of expectations for our school," Bennion Principal James Yapias said. "The teachers have reached those expectations."
In addition to breakfast goodies, the winners also will receive a banner standing 9 feet tall that details the schools' accomplishments.
Withers praised Grand America for partnering with the district to plug high-performing schools.
"With all the challenges you face in an urban school district," he said, "it's great to have a landmark like the hotel giving recognition."
The hotel plans to continue its partnership with the district throughout the year, and for years to come, said Bruce Fery, CEO of Grand America Hotels and Resorts.
"As a hotel, we are giving back to the community," Fery said. "Part of the program is giving right back to the individual teachers."
The awards program is meant to highlight schools that have shown a marked improvement on test scores, with a special emphasis on reading. Honors will go out to schools that have shown academic progress in language arts, math and science; that have excelled in team teaching (K-8); and that have made significant strides in reading (K-6). The program also will recognize a teacher and school that have done particularly well in bringing about academic achievements in reading.
Jo Ellen Shaeffer, the district's assessment and evaluation director, said determining the winners is just a matter of looking at the numbers.
The district will lean on standardized tests such as the Criterion-Referenced Test (better known as CRT) and reading assessments given to grade-schoolers twice a year to pick the winners, Shaeffer said. Students that show above average growth performance put their school in the running for the awards.
Additional awards are expected throughout the year, with perks including events at Grand America, Sunday brunches and overnight stays for teachers.

Danny Butterman: So what made you want to become a policeman?
Nicholas Angel: Officer.
Danny Butterman: What made you want to become a policeman, officer?
Nicholas Angel: [chuckles] I don't remember a time when I didn't want to be a police officer... apart from the summer of 1979 when I wanted to be Kermit the Frog. It all started with my Uncle Derek. He was a Sergeant in the Met. He bought me a police pedal car when I was five. I rode around in it every second I was awake - arresting kids twice my size for littering and spitting. I got beaten up a lot when I was young, but it didn't stop me. I wanted to be like Uncle Derek.
Danny Butterman: He sounds like a good bloke.
Nicholas Angel: Actually, he was arrested for selling drugs to students.
Danny Butterman: What a cunt.
Nicholas Angel: Probably bought the pedal car with the proceeds. Needless to say, I never went near it again. I just let it rust. But I never lost the profound sense of right and wrong I felt at the wheel of that pedal car. I had to prove to myself that the Law could be proper and righteous and for the good of humankind. It was from that moment that I was destined to be a police officer.
Danny Butterman: Shame...
Nicholas Angel: How so?
Danny Butterman: I think you would have made a great Muppet...
"Police work is as much about preventing crime as it is about fighting crime. Most importantly, it is about procedural correctness in the execution of unquestionable moral authority."

The proposed gipsy campsite in Magazine Lane, Ewloe
CONTROVERSIAL plans for a gipsy camp have been thrown out – but the taxpayer has been left to foot the bill.
A Government planning inspector has refused planning permission for a five-pitch site at Magazine Lane in Ewloe, but has ordered Flintshire Council to pay a portion of the gipsy applicant's appeal fees – which could be about £10,000.
But, despite the appeal being dismissed, the applicant intends to submit another planning application within three weeks and is confident this time it will be approved.
Hundreds objected when plans for the site were first lodged in summer 2010 and campaigners formed Ewloe Green Action Group to fight the application.
Flintshire Council refused permission for the site in January on the grounds there was "no demonstrable need".
But applicant Martyn Rooney, advised by agents Green Planning Solutions, lodged an appeal with the Planning Inspectorate almost immediately.
And while the inspector appointed by the Welsh Government dismissed the appeal for the camp, he ruled that Flintshire Council had "behaved unreasonably" in refusing planning permission.
The applicant must now submit a bill to council bosses and the two sides will have to reach an agreement on how much is paid.
Flintshire Council refused the plans on the grounds there was not a need for further pitches as there were vacancies at the Riverside site at Queensferry and Ruthin Road in Wrexham.
The report states: "There is clearly a demonstrable need at county, regional and national levels.
"No reasonable person could conclude there is no demonstrable need and the council has failed to substantiate that assertion."
The inspector dismissed the appeal on the grounds that the gipsies' quality of life could be affected by air pollution and noise from the neighbouring A55.
The Ewloe Green Action Group is delighted the appeal was refused.
A spokesman said: "While we have sympathy with the travellers' needs, we have always maintained this is an inappropriate site for their purpose and we are grateful that common sense has prevailed.
"We thank the community and our councillors for their support and for standing up against this inappropriate development.
"We hope Flintshire Council moves swiftly to make additional provision at Riverside Park to prevent other communities having to go through what we have just experienced."
But Matthew Green, from Green Planning Solutions, is confident a new application will be granted planning permission once the necessary surveys in relation to noise and air pollution have been carried out.
He said: "A sound survey will be carried out shortly and then an application will be put back in and the council will have no option but to pass it.
"With an appeal decision like this you can lose, but still win at the same time."
Andrew Farrow, head of planning at Flintshire Council, said: "The Inspector has concluded that the council must pay the costs of the appellant in relation to one of the two reasons for refusal.
"The appellant will now submit details of his costs for the council to agree.
"Should no agreement be reached an assessment will be made by the Court Costs Office."

Fail to understand how FCC 'behaved unreasonably' they must have a legal dept there to ensure that the Taxpayer is not left to pay this kind of penalty. Cllr. Halford was Chair of Planning at the time, perhaps she would like to go in her pocket, if she can tear herself away from Patrick Heesom's hearings at Soughton Hall.

you can not drive on to riverside park travellers site or drive out safely you have to drive directly on to motorway were cars are doing 70 ,but council dont care they have been told over and over again fiona mocho should hang her head in shame and council want to build more plots on it ,this must be a gainst the law how will council get planning

the spokes person says flintshire council acts swiftly with provitions on river side to stop travellers building any were in flintshire they mean, not just there that says it all realy. is it just gypsies who are not aloud to build be cause they upset comunities or is that for jews,pakistanies africans,polish as well

Seems like an ideal place.. why all the fuss

Perverse decision by the SWAG inspector. At the end of the day the appeal was dismissed.

New Guide on BGP Security Published
September 4, 2007 - A new guide that provides information on BGP and the methods available to improve the security of BGP routers was recently issued by NIST. While primarily directed toward helping federal agencies carry out their responsibilities under the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002, the new guide is also available to private sector organizations that wish to use it. NIST Special Publication 800-54, Border Gateway Protocol Security: Recommendations of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, was written by Rick Kuhn, Kotikalapudi Sriram, and Doug Montgomery. The publication explains the structure and the functions of BGP in terms that will enable those who are not familiar with the protocol to understand its use in networking. Potential attacks that threaten the security of BGP functions, the countermeasures that are available to thwart attacks, and their associated costs and benefits are discussed in detail in the guide. The emphasis is on countermeasures that can be applied without significant additions or changes to equipment. NIST SP 800-54 identifies specific recommendations that help decision makers select the measures that can be deployed rapidly and that will significantly improve routing security. The publication is available at: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-54/SP800-54.pdf
Excerpts of comments posted by a private industry user on the NANOG mail list about NIST SP 800-54: "Nice guidelines, sensible stuff all, and probably of great help if this is all new to you (perhaps helpful even if you've been around a while). For those overwhelmed with too much work and too little time, there's even an Executive Summary with actual useful information in it.â€http://diswww.mit.edu/charon/nanog/98260

New Quantum Key System Combines Speed and Distance
August 3, 2007 - Researchers at ITL's Advanced Networking Technologies Division have built a prototype high-speed quantum key distribution (QKD) system, incorporating a new wavelength conversion device that achieves dramatically lower noise levels than other systems. The new system can perform a theoretically unbreakable one-time pad encryption, transmission and decryption of video signals in real-time over a distance of at least 10 kilometers (see news story).
One important requirement for any practical QKD system is that it be compatible with existing fiber-optic telecom networks that transmit at wavelengths of either 1550 or 1310 nanometers (nm) to reach the greatest distance. However, one of the best low-noise detectors, a silicon-based avalanche photo diode (Si-APD), does not function at the telecom wavelengths. Instead, it operates best at much shorter wavelengths around 700 nm. To take advantage of the Si-APD, the research team in ITL designed a sub-system to convert single photons from a transmission wavelength of 1310 nm to 710 nm for high-efficiency detection. Further information can be found at www.nist.gov/quantum.
ITL Conducts IPv6 Testing Workshop
On May 4th, 2007, NIST hosted a IPv6 testing workshop with major internet technology providers, Civilian and DoD technology policy players and representatives from national and international testing consortia. The first of its kind workshop served to open a much needed dialog between providers and internet technology and services and large users groups looking to establish test and certification programs for IPv6. The workshop provided ITL staff with significant input from, and interaction with, IPv6 product and testing organizations that will be used in the development of recommendations and technical plans for the establishment of IPv6 conformance and interoperability testing programs for the USG.

Announcing DRAFT NIST SP500-267 A Profile for IPv6 in the U.S. Government - Version 1.0
A DRAFT of NIST Special Publication 500-267, A Profile for IPv6 in the U.S. Government - Version 1.0, is now available for a 30 day public comment period. This publication provides a standards profile to assist federal agencies in developing plans to acquire and deploy products that implement Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The profile recommends IPv6 capabilities for common network devices, including hosts, routers, intrusion detection systems, and firewalls, and includes a selection of IPv6 standards and specifications needed to meet the minimum operational requirements of most federal agencies.
Additional details on downloading the draft special publication and the process for submitting comments can be found here: http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6-v1-comments.html
The comment period closes at 5:00 PM EST on March 2, 2007.
ITL Research Influenced Design of 2nd Generation Service Discovery Systems
On September 20, 2006, Kevin Mills, a senior research scientist in ITL's Advanced Network Technologies Division, visited Enschede, Netherlands, where he served on the examination committee of Vasughi Sundramoorthy, Ph.D. candidate at the University of Twente, a technical and engineering school with about 6,000 students. The Ph.D. defense culminated collaborative research on designs for service discovery systems between Dr. Sundramoorthy and NIST scientists (Chris Dabrowski, Kevin Mills, and Ceryen Tan), which started two years prior, during a four-month visit to NIST. Sundramoorthy initiated the visit after reading various research papers published by the NIST team. The visit stimulated an exchange of ideas that formed the directions for Sundramoorthy's doctoral research. Interactions continued over the intervening two years, leading to a successful project, the publication of papers referencing related NIST research, and ultimately to defense of a thesis describing the work. After the Ph.D. examination, faculty at the University of Twente stated publicly, Dr. Sundramoorthy's visit to NIST marked a turning point in her thesis research - helping convert a collection of ideas into a focused research program.
ITL Researchers Demonstrate Effective 1310 nm to 710 nm Wavelength Conversion for Single Photons
September 2006 - ANTD researchers have developed a system for the conversion of single photons at 1310 nm to 710 nm, allowing quantum communication systems to benefit both from the low absorption in optical fiber associated with 1310 nm and the enhanced photon detection efficiency of Si-APD photon detectors at 710 nm. As the result, the working distance for a QKD system at 1310 nm can be extended 10 times longer than the current NIST system at 850 nm (see related news), while generating quantum keys at Mbit/s rates , in contrast with kbit/s for a system using traditional InGaAs based infrared single photon detectors. A periodically poled MgO-doped lithium niobate waveguide is used as a nonlinear optic wavelength conversion device operating at a quasi phase-matching condition. Strong light pulses at 1550 nm are used as a pump for the wavelength conversion process. In this process the energy of the converted photons at 710 nm equals a sum of energies of the signal photons at 1310 nm and the pump photons at 1550 nm. The photon-number conversion efficiency has steadily and repeatedly reached 43% in the experiment.
Another Record-Breaking Milestone for the NIST Quantum Communication Team.
NIST Releases Networking Research Compendium
Information technology is undergoing a paradigm shift from desktop computing, where isolated workstations connect to web servers across a network, to pervasive computing, where myriad portable, embedded, and networked information appliances continuously reconfigure themselves individually and collectively to support information requirements of mobile workers and teams. The NIST Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) recently released a compendium of 27 research papers investigating technical issues surrounding networking for pervasive computing. Six papers explore interference effects between wireless personal-area networks (WPANS) and wireless local-area networks (WLANS). Eight additional papers identify and characterize technical approaches to mitigate interference among WPANS and WLANS. Six papers investigate robustness of various service discovery systems proposed by industry. Six papers identify and characterize self-adaptive approaches to improve performance in discovery systems. Findings from this research were conveyed to appropriate standards-setting organizations and commercial engineers to provide a better understanding of current systems and to help improve future designs. This work was part of a five-year program of research conducted by NIST to help the information technology industry overcome some looming technical roadblocks that seemed likely to slow development and acceptance of pervasive computing. In addition to networking concerns, NIST's pervasive-computing research program also examined issues related to human-computer interaction and programming models."Networking for Pervasive Computing,"

NIST Demonstrates First Responder Technologies to Fire Fighters
On July 16 BRFL, ITL, and MEL jointly hosted a meeting of fire fighters and rescue personnel to demonstrate technologies under evaluation by the NIST Distributed Testbed for First Responders. In attendance were fire chiefs/commissioners and their associates from communities in Arizona (Phoenix), New York (NYC), North Carolina (Wilson), Pennsylvania (King of Prussia), Virginia (Arlington, Charlottesville, Fairfax, and Prince William), and Maryland (Fort Meade, Montgomery County). The demo was followed by a discussion on the needs and priorities of first responders. The technologies demonstrated include access to building information database and dynamic building status from sensors, sensor-driven fire model using the NIST Virtual Cybernetic Building Testbed (VCBT) simulator, standardization of communications interface for sensors, biometrics for identification and authentication, dynamic self-organizing wireless networks for voice and data, voice over Internet, and emergency personnel localization and tracking. The Distributed Testbed for First Responders was established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to evaluate different technical approaches and to carry out the NIST mission of assisting industry in the development of standards for interoperability and open systems. This testbed, which builds on work already underway in BFRL, ITL, and MEL, will enable collaborative research at NIST on issues relating to improving the safety and effectiveness of first responders. Research will be conducted on a variety of topics, including developing and demonstrating highly capable communication and localization systems, increasing the quality and quantity of information available to first responders, improving information display and decision support systems, and the seamless integration and interoperability of smart wireless sensor networks in buildings.

NIST Joins Java Community Process!
The National Institute of Standards and Technology recently completed the application process to gain institutional membership in the Java Community Process (JCP). The JCP is an open, international organization chartered to develop and revise Java technology specifications, reference implementations and test systems. Multiple NIST laboratories have projects focused on making significant technical contributions to the state of Java technologies. Examples include the Information Technology Laboratory's efforts in Java Numerics and Java API's for Intelligent Networks (JAIN) and the Physics Laboratory's efforts in Unit Specifications for Java. Having cleared the hurdle of attaining membership in the JCP, NIST staff can now participate directly in JCP expert groups and lead development of new Java technology specifications.
ANTD Researchers Lead Development of Standards for Wireless Personal Area Networks
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) approved the IEEE 802.15.1 standard for wireless personal area networks (WPAN) on March 21, 2002. This was the long awaited formal acceptance of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group's (SIG) Core Specification by a recognized standards body. Although the Bluetooth Core Specification defines all the layers from physical layer to the application layer, only the lower layers, which are considered within the scope of the IEEE 802 Medium Access Control and Physical layers, are included. This wireless technology operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band and provides voice communications at 64 bit/s and data transfers up to 732 kbit/s at distances up to 10 meters. This technology is meant to be inexpensive, thus positioning itself for system integration as one of the pervasive computing technologies.
ANTD has been involved in this effort since the Bluetooth SIG first released the specifications and the IEEE 802.15 Working Group was formed. The work consisted of reviewing, verifying, and validating the protocols being defined. As a means to speed, and ideally show the completeness and correctness of the protocols, ANTD undertook the task of creating a formal description of the text prose using the ITU-T standardized formal description language called Specification and Description Language (SDL) that was included as an informative annex in the standard. SDL uses a finite state machine and describes the behavior in the form similar to a flow chart. This process generated thousands of comments and suggested changes that were incorporated in the Bluetooth specifications v1.1. In addition, ANTD held editorship of several sub-clauses in the draft standard and participated in the creation of the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) proforma.
IEEE 802.15.1 is the first in a series of new WPAN technologies being developed in IEEE 802.15. Under development are standards for higher (20 Mbit/s) and lower (250 kbit/s) rate WPANs.

Evaluating Dynamic Service Discovery Protocols Using Architectural Description Languages
Two Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) researchers, working as part of the ITL Pervasive Computing program, have applied architectural modeling to analyze the quality of service provided by dynamic service discovery protocols under conditions of network failure. The protocols currently under investigation include Jini �, Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), and the Service Location Protocol (SLP). ITL has already shared early results from the work with industry to help improve specifications for commercial products.
To perform their analysis, the ITL researchers used Rapide, an architectural description language (ADL) developed by Stanford University as part of a DARPA program on the Evolutionary Design of Complex Software (EDCS). The ITL researchers transform natural-language specifications of specific discovery protocols into architectural models that include network topologies and essential software behaviors. The architectural models are then executed using scenarios devised by the researchers to simulate network degradation and failures. During model execution, the researchers use logical assertions to gauge consistency among state maintained on different nodes, and they use quantitative metrics to assess latencies and overhead associated with restoring the system to a consistent state.
To date, the researchers have produced one paper, "Analyzing Properties and Behavior of Service Discovery Protocols Using an Architecture-Based Approach, describing their approach in detail and demonstrating initial results. The next stage of the project will focus on comparative analysis of generic, alternative architectural models common to different protocols. This work appears to be particularly timely because of the proliferation of service discovery protocols in private industry. Results from this project will help the industry to better understand the logical and performance properties of the current generation of discovery protocols, will help to design improved versions of such protocols in future generations, and will provide practitioners of software architecture modeling with a better understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the research tools available to date.

Fascia along gable layered like shingles?
I apologize of I am in the wrong forum. I am thinking that fascia is sort of like flashing to protect the edge of the roof so I am posting this to the roofing section.
I hired a contractor to install fascia on 2 wooden covered patios attached to my house. They are simple 3/12 and 4/12 pitched patios. I noticed that the fascia along the side of the roof (gable) is layered so the lower piece of fascia is on top of the upper piece. It appears to me that water may run along the bottom edge of the upper piece and behind the lower piece, trapping water between the aluminum and the wood, and causing the wood to prematurely deteriorate. Shouldn't the fascia be layered from the bottom up as shingles and drip edge is done? If so, is it something a little silicone will fix or should I ask the contractor to come back and re-install the fascia pieces from the bottom up?

Welcome to the forum.
alot of guys install the seam up,they say so you don't see the seams.. and they are right,most likely there will never be an issue
that being said i always face the seams down
Thanks for confirming what I suspected. Now for the task of getting him to actually come back (he is paid in full).
199 Attachment(s)
nobody said it was ''ok'' but if you have ripped enough aluminum trim off you would know the direction of the lap is not generally an issue
199 Attachment(s)
It would be nice to see some consistency in you post in regards to drainage plains and not sidestep from your teachings too most likely there will never be an issue just because some think it looks better. :wink: :laughing:
Well, what do you want to hear? If the fascia is installed rather tight and the shingles are hung over correctly, there should be no problems. I've seen way worse problems with Siders and their installs.
Think about the scenario..... maybe some rain water could be blown by wind into the fascia. It drips to the bottom of the fascia and maybe gets behind the next fascia on the very bottom. What is that part of the fascia in contact with??? The metal soffit material.
Chances are, it will run to the bottom and exit where it hits the corner box coil stock, which hopefully runs up behind the fascia metal. Then runs down onto the ground.
Not saying it is right, but I have yet to see any problems with that install. Like I said, I've seen way worse from siding crews that seem to know nothing about flashing.
thanks for the advise Ron:wink:
Sounds like it may be OK to run the seams up but maybe not. Being that I spent about 20K on two covered patios, and tore out stucco to install a flashing above them, I want the covered patio to last as long as the rest of the house. I called the contractor and to my surprise they came out within three days and switched the seams around. it only took about 30 minutes. Thanks everyone for all the advice and discussion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Zoning Code
There are several reasons for the Code to be updated. One reason is to provide a method of numbering sections within the Code that will facilitate the Zoning Code's incorporation into an ongoing project to codify all of the Town's ordinances to facilitate access and knowledge of the ordinances affecting the Town. Some sections have been updated to ensure compliance with current Wisconsin statutes and law. Changes to other sections of the Zoning Code are intended to address some specific issues that the Town has experienced in recent years.
The current process to amend the Town's Zoning Code actually started several years ago. Since the process first started, the Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Board have worked through the entire Zoning Code and considered proposed revisions to effected sections during numerous monthly meetings. Once the initial review process was completed, notice of a public hearing was given and a public hearing was held before the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Town Board to permit public comment on the proposed revisions to the Zoning Code. Following approval by the Town Board, the proposed amendment to the Zoning Code was forwarded to Waukesha County, as approval by the County is required before the amendment to the Zoning Code can take effect.
At the outset, it is important to understand that, although the Zoning Code established regulations for land use within specific zoning "districts" within the Town that are intended to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the Town. The determination of which district is appropriate for a particular parcel within the Town, however, is determined by the Town's "comprehensive" plan, a separate document. It is equally important to understand that Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits decisions related to the development or use of land based upon the race, sex, religion, national origin, color, disability, or familial statues of residents or potential residents. Similarly, a municipality may not make zoning or land use decisions on neighbors' fears that a dwelling would be occupied by members of theses protected classes. As a result, zoning ordinances may not contain provisions that treat uses such as affordable housing, supportive housing, or group homes for people with disabilities differently than other similar uses. Establishment of land use policies such as density or design requirements that make residential development prohibitively expensive, prohibitions on multifamily housing, or a ceiling of four (4) or fewer unrelated adults in a household may be considered discriminatory if it can be proven that these policies have a disproportionate impact on minorities, families with children, or people with disabilities. As a result, the Town's Zoning Code has been developed with the intention of providing regulations that promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the Town in a nondiscriminatory manner.
Minimum Lot Size. The minimum lot size for household livestock is 3 acres.
Number of animals. The number of animals shall not exceed one grazing animal for each acre plus 10 fowl for each acre.
Prohibited animals. The following animals are not permitted on parcels smaller than 35 acres: hogs, male goats, roosters, or fur-bearing animals, other than rabbits.
Location of buildings. A building that houses household livestock shall not be located within a floodplain or closer than 50 feet to any existing dwelling unit or any lot line.
Fencing. Any area where poultry, domestic livestock, or horses are allowed to pasture or run shall be adequately fenced to keep them confined to such area.
Three dogs are permitted per household. Cats are not regulated.
The speed limits were reduced for a several reasons. The Town has received numerous requests to have them lowered over the past few years. In fact, the Town just received a petition signed by forty-one (41) residents to lower the speed limits on Piper and Ulrickson Roads. The Town is aware that many people use these roads to walk their dogs, ride their horses or for exercise. Lastly, the Town Board discussed on which roads should the speed limit be lowered. The Town Board decided that the roads that should be reduced are the roads in which a subdivision enters/exits out onto. The intent in the reduction is to keep the public safe.

Pope makes Easter pleas for worldwide peace
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis delivered a plea for peace in his first Easter Sunday message to the world, decrying seemingly endless conflicts in the Middle East and on the Korean peninsula after celebrating Mass along with more than 250,000 people in flower-bedecked St. Peter's Square.
Francis shared in his flock's exuberance as they celebrated Christianity's core belief that Jesus Christ rose from the dead following crucifixion. After Mass, he stepped aboard an open-topped white popemobile for a cheerful spin through the joyous crowd, kissing babies and patting children on the head.
One admirer of both the pope and of the pope's favorite soccer team, Argentina's Saints of San Lorenzo, insisted that Francis take a team jersey he was waving at the pontiff. A delighted Francis obliged, briefly holding up the shirt, and the crowd roared in approval.
Francis has repeatedly put concern for the poor and suffering at the center of his messages, and he pursued his promotion of the causes of peace and social justice in the Easter speech delivered from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, the same place from where he was introduced to the world as the first Latin American pope on March 13, shortly after his election.
He said he was joyfully aiming his Easter greetings at "every house and every family, especially where the suffering is greatest, in hospitals, in prisons." Francis prayed that Jesus would inspire people to "change hatred into love, vengeance into forgiveness, war into peace."
In his softly and slowly pronounced speech, Francis defined Easter as an "exodus, the passage of human beings from slavery to sin and evil to the freedom of love and goodness." As popes before him have, he urged Israelis and Palestinians, who "struggle to find the road of agreement" to find the courage to resume peace talks and end a conflict that "has lasted all too long." And, in reflecting on the two-year-old Syrian crisis, Francis asked, "How much suffering must there still be before a political solution" can be found?
The pope also expressed desire for a "spirit of reconciliation" on the Korean peninsula, where North Korea says it has entered "a state of war" with South Korea. He also decried violence in Africa, where he singled out for condemnation terrorists' hostage-taking, as well as strife in Mali and warfare in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in the Central African Republic, which has driven people from their homes.
The first pontiff to come from the Jesuits, an order with special concern for the poor, and the first pope to name himself after St. Francis, a medieval figure who renounced wealth to preach to the down-and-out, Francis lamented that the world is "still divided by greed looking for easy gain, wounded by the selfishness which threatens human life and the family, selfishness that continues in human trafficking, the most extensive form of slavery in this 21st century."

" Brand: Asda / Type: Bread "
I'm usually happy enough to buy the smart price products, but this is one to avoid!
The main reason I buy it is because we have lots of dogs - and they get a slice of bread after their dinner as "dessert"! The gulp it down in one go - it doesn't even touch the sides! I often wondered if it was ok to give bread to dogs but the boys love it and a bonio just won't do for pudding!
The slices are smaller than usual for a standard loaf, and they are stale immediately.
Now, this is good as don't want boys getting too many empty calories, and the staler the bread - the more munching they do and the more satisfying it is for them!
My partner and I try to avoid eating bread - and if it is only asda smart price in the house we are not tempted!
It's only 50p which is great value considering I buy it as dog food.
Oh yes - it did make fab stuffing at Christmas - stale & dense and tasteless - soaked up the sage, onion & butter beautifully!
It's embarrassing buying it to be honest, but I make sure I throw in a big block of cheese so people think am just toasting it!
I still buy it - as dog food - but do avoid for people - pay the extra for a decent loaf.
i felt quite shamed when i decided to write this review for asda smartprice white medium sliced bread, because i had a feeling what i was getting myself into when i brought it. i picked it up hurried to the till and quickly paid before anyone i might have known see me. Now as you might know from my previous reviews im trying my way thru the smartprice range in the hope at end of it my shopping bill might be reduced with the things i found good in this range,
So here we go asda smartprice bread. hmm as per usual with this range the packaging just tells you the basics ingredients, best before date and the like, when i picked it up my first reaction was "are you sure this is medium sliced Mr Asda ?" because i dont think i have come across bread this thin even when a loaf says thin sliced, but even so at 47 pence i had to give it a try.
First i tried toasting it , i slapped two of the painfully thin slices into my toaster and waited for the pop. If your toasting this then stay with it because it toasts a hell of alot quicker than other brands of bread, i had to save mine from cremation ! To be honest as toast its not to sad its toasted bread at the end of the day , thin i know but toast, the major disaster came when it was time to make a sandwitch in which i wasted about 3 slices trying to butter it and not having the bread fall apart. and when its not toasted its just so so doughy its a tasteless ball of dough that it ends up like in your mouth when your eating it , was actually quite vile,
Another thing that shocked me about asda smartprice bread was how short the life of the loaf was before it went mouldy , long before the use by date, i think within three days of buying it the mould started forming on the edges. so that was it for me and i ended up binning half a loaf.
Never again will i buy this product i would rather wait till i had enough money for a proper loaf if all i could afford was smartprice, what a disaster that trial was never ever again lol !!!!
Asda Smart Price Medium White Bread
Description: Manufacturer: Asda / Type: Bread.
If you have read any of my earlier reviews then you are likely to know that I am a big fan of the supermarkets own ranges which give me savings by spending less on posh packaging. This packaging gets thrown in the bin anyway so it makes no difference if it is cheap and no frills.
I have found that many of the products from these ranges have been really good, which actually surprised me when I started trying them.
Normally, I am a bit of a bread snob though, I do have to admit that. I like my bread to be freshly baked and preferably have seeds in it. On this occasion, I called in to my local Asda quite late and there wasn't as much choice as I would usually have had. Since I had to buy a pre-cut loaf of bread anyway, I decided to try this one to see how it compares to the more expensive brands.
The bread is packaged in the same way as all goods in the range, the cellophane bread bag has a plain white and green label. It cost me just £0.44 for a loaf which was more than half the price of some of the competing brands.
Each slice contains 80 calories. The slices are quite thin and the bread has a slightly soggy look about it, and certainly isn't fluffy looking as I had hoped. It is a light off white and beige colour which doesn't look particularly appealing either.
Because the bread is so thin, it is easy to tear it when you are applying the butter which was a bit irritation.
The bread unfortunately doesn't taste any better than it looks. It is a little dry (despite being bought well before its "use by" date) and hasn't got much texture. Overall, it was quite bland and while it wasn't unpleasant, it wasn't particularly enjoyable either. In fact, it matched the packaging and tasted a bit cheap and nasty, and not very fresh.
I won't be buying this loaf again, if you are trying to save money then it may be worth trying brands from the other supermarkets, rather than spending your cash on this one as it just wasn't worth it.
On a more positive note, we fed the majority of this loaf to the ducks nearby and they seemed to have no such reservations about eating it!
Asda Smart Price bread looked like a good buy because I pay £1.04 for Warburton's bread at the moment. I use three large loaves per week, so I thought it might be worth trying the cheaper brand.
The packing is simply a plastic bag with green writing on it, but that should make no difference to the product inside. I thought that the bread slices looked much smaller than the Warburton ones. They are supposed to be medium sliced.
The colour of the Asda bread was kind of grey and of putting and it felt a bit dry to touch. I'm used to pure white bread that is moist to touch and eat. However, I did persevere and decided to toast a couple of slices. The texture of the bread changed but the toast was kind of rubbery to eat. The taste can only be described as foam rubber flavoured with yeast and a sprinkling of salt.
I really didn't fancy using it to make sandwiches because of the grey colour. I believe this has to do with the grade of flour used to bake the bread.
After two days I found this bread inedible. It had a strong, foisty kind of smell and was quite dry to the touch. The grey bread had started to turn pale yellow in places.
In the bottom of the bag I found spots of blue mould which should not appear on bread that is still within its use by date. Apparently this is caused by bread being packed into bags in the bakery before it is cold. Condensation forms in the back and seeps down to the bottom. Yuk!
So, although I am trying save a few pennies here and there, just like everyone else, I won't be buying this bread again. I would rather stick with Warburtons and know that I am getting a product that I will enjoy eating and that will last well over its use by day.
Like many people, my budget doesn't seem to be stretching as far lately, so I've been down-branding as much as my shopping as I can. With some products, this pays off, as sometimes you can't tell the difference - especially with items like pasta and rice which are going to get covered in sauces anyway .
So, I purchased a load of the Smartprice bread, in it's distinctive but incredibly basic green and white packaging, for a mere 47 pence . My usual loaf of choice is Kingsmill Everyday White, which currently costs £1 a loaf, and I get through two each week . So thats a big saving - 53p per loaf less, which would soon add up to pounds if I stuck with it .
On opening the packet, I find these slices are thinner than I would typically like a medium loaf to me - and they feel very dry to the touch in comparison to my usual brand. The colour wasn't particularly nice - it looked a dull off-white colour, with the crusts being quite a pale anaemic colour .
Making a slice into a sandwich, it tasted as dry as it felt - and it felt horrible to eat, nasty dry pap going round in my mouth as I chewed . It tasted slightly stale - which it certainly shouldn't have been having only just been purchased . Apart from the stale taste, it was pretty much flavourless, and it lacked the fluffiness and bounce of good fresh bread .
As toast, it fares slightly better, although it still didn't taste particularly fresh.
Nutrition wise, its 80 calories per slice , which is slightly less than my usual brand, but that certainly isn't going to make up for it tasting stale .
I also noticed that this bread only lasted one or two days, before small green dots of mould appeared on the crusts . Given that the best before date still had two days to go, this is unacceptable.
I don't think economising on bread has paid off for me . It's a cheap white loaf, and it tastes cheap . I'd buy it again if I needed something to feed the ducks, but I wouldn't buy it to eat myself .
An utter failure in flavour and freshness, one star .

The 9 essential type of blogsposts for the wannabe famous bloggers on the web
Collis, the guy who runs North By East, has written a pretty interesting article titled ' Buy Viagra online The 9 Essential Posts that Every Blogger Should Know'. This post explains the 9 different kinds of often used posts to fill up your website with content, without actually having to spent a lot of timing writing something long and decent.
Luckily Collis starts off his article with the warning that overuse will seriously harm your health, if not your blogs quality. One of the types he lists, actually the first, is the 'speedlinker'.
The Speedlinker (named in honor of Problogger Darren Rowse) is a post where you link up a series of posts from other blogs that your readers would be interested in, usually with a brief description attached. Where you get your posts is up to you.
Personally I'm not much of a fan of those; sure, it's a nice way to fill a gap and perhaps even link your users to something useful, but it just seems to lack content. Not to mention the fact it's being used a lot lately, basically every blogger has at least done it once – also goes for me – so my advice would be to go around this one and rather use the other 8 suggestions, they'll surely come in handy! treat breast cancer

Have you ever had a nervous breakdown?
Not yet! But it could be coming.
Have you come close?
I think I've come close often probably, in my own way, and without girlfriends, I'm sure I would have had many. It's interesting that breakdown and breakthrough are such close terms because I feel like the moments in my life I've said that I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown, where you're in such grief or loss or despair about something, you know you have a cellular experience, you start shaking or you can't stop crying or whatever, that thing where you feel like your body is literally falling apart, in fact those truly have been the moments that have been breakthroughs for me.
In general there is this very beautiful idea starting to shift culturally to the awareness that life is both things. People are both things and when we approach it like that rather than -- we must be good and life must have no pain. Man, that's a horrible set up, that's like setting up life like maybe you can escape death.
