VMC With Simultaneous Three-Axis Capability
New Product Post: 11/15/2003
The Mycenter-3Xi vertical machining center offers simultaneous three-axis capability: 30" × 17.9" × 18.1" (X,Y,Z). Like all of the company's machining centers, the Mycenter-3Xi uses table traverse design for the X and Y axis movement, a feature that is said to reduce workpiece/spindle interference (by 2/3) common on machines with a traveling column design. The VMC can execute simultaneous full travels throughout all three axes. The VMC offers high speed rapid feed: 1,969 ipm (X and Y)/1,417 imp (Z) on solid box ways. Advanced boxway technology features computerized lubrication. Special rubber/copper way wipers are included. The standard ballscrew cooling system circulates chilled oil through the X, Y and Z axes ballscrew shafts. This feature holds the ballscrew temperature at a constant, thereby minimizing thermal displacement allowing for higher accuracy through continuous operation, the company says. The machine's high speed and high torque spindle rate is 20 ~ 10,000 rpm (40 ~ 15,000 available). The 15-hp AC drive motor drives the company's two-speed geared head, which provides 10,000 rpm (15,000 rpm optional) maximum spindle speed and up to 134 foot-pounds of torque. This high output system "sips" electricity to lower operating costs per hour, according to the company. The machine features the Dual Contact spindle system, which provides dual contact of the spindle taper and flange face. The VMC features a thermally stabilized #40 taper spindle that is supported by double angular contact bearings to handle high thrust loads, and roller bearings for accuracy. The standard spindle chiller maintains a constant temperature at the spindle jacket to ensure precision, the company says. The ATC rate is 1.2 second (tool to tool)/3.2 seconds (chip to chip). The fixed pot ATCs are said to optimize tool handling and tool storage capability without sacrificing productivity. The tool magazine can keep the next tool in the stand-by pot for fast, efficient tool change, says the company. The VMC has a tool capacity of 30 tools. Adjacent tool pots can be left empty to accommodate large diameter cutters. The company says the standard IAC System 1 controls the effects of heat displacement in order to ensure continuous machining accuracy. A combination of regulating sensors and machine efficiency monitors provide data on variable compensation values to the machine offsets, which is said to minimize inaccuracies in spindle axial growth and head casting growth. The company's AI Nano Control is standard. It is said to deliver ±0.00012" positioning accuracy per full stroke on all axes. This ultra-high response feedback system also increases contouring accuracy by 150 times, according to the company. This VMC features a Kitamura-Fanuc 16iM CNC. This control folds flatly into the machine when it isn't being used.

February 8, 2007 we had to say goodbye to our beloved Samson!
His hips and spine which he suffered with since the age of one finally caught up with him and the loss of dignity and pain was greater than the comfort.
We cried and still do for a dog who really was the best of the best. Obedient, smart. loyal and truly top dog! We'll miss you forever Sammy Boy...
Well I am almost 10 1/2 years old now. I can't see too good nor hear well and the stair really scare me. I stand at the top of the stairs and cry when everyone goes down. I'm so afraid I'll fall. I stumble alot and Mom gets very upset with me when I have accidents in the house but I just can't make it anymore. Those stairs to me is a long way down. Mom has alot of patiences with me and I am so crotchidy if thats a word. I want more food but she is wise to keep my weight down due to my hips and spine. The pain pills she gives me at night do help but mostly I just like to sleep in a warm place where I know Mom will be. If she is there I feel safe. I just had a hot bath and I usually make a big fuss but I just did not have it in me and I think Mom was very surprised. No one can give me a bath but Mom. They are all afraid of what I will do but I say all aggression is born of fear and you try being in pain with bolts and pins in your hips and sore spine and get up in a slippery tub up so high. It has been very cold out so I run right out and right back in. Mom has her hands full with me. Thank goodness I am still trying to be a good boy.
Dreaming of warmer weather. Samson
Well I'm almost 10 years old now and with hip dysplasia I move slow but I take no stuff off Major. I need pain pills now to keep me moving and from being too stiff and I sleep much more these days. But back in the day after my surgeries I could work with the best of em. I still sing but Mom does not work me anymore, she says I'm retired. It makes me sad to see her and Major go and I wish I could still keep up but when I do go for walks with them Major tries to run over me. Oh he's a ham. But a good choice by Mom none the less as he really is pretty laid back and I'm glad cause I like peace and quiet just like Mom. So I'm gonna have to keep my weight down with lite dinner and going out in the yard often. Check back with you soon...

Someone asked for concrete ideas that worked. I have some. This works for my almost three and half year old, and I think it may be an age thing. I fully expect it to stop working as he matures.
We were having a problem with his not doing what I asked when it was necessary (stop screaming down the hallway when the baby is sleeping, no running across the parking lot and not holding my hand, things like this). So I asked him, "What can I do to get you to understand when something is not a choice, but something that has to be done?" He told me to put my hand up like a traffic policeman. It works. I use it very sparingly, but when the hand goes up, he stops and looks at me like, "Foiled again!"
We were having trouble leaving places (with plenty of warning and time for transition) without having total, horrible meltdowns. I asked him what I should do so that he knew we needed to leave and that I did not want a big fit to ensue. "Put your leg in the air like this" (imagine dog hiking leg--very attractive). It works.
Another thing is that when meltdown ensues, I have to get him to remove himself from it physically and mentally. I start with a few simple commands: Touch your head. Rub your tummy. Scratch your ears. When he gets in the groove, I give him something intellectual: Put your hands on your face and count your nostrils. Make a circle with your fingers and count the leaves you see in the circle. Either he is laughing at the end, or at least calm enough that we can work together to find a solution.

I still disagree with his statment about "all punishment is about suffering" and it was strange how he put that odd statment in the middle of discussion about why harsh punishments are bad.

For example, isn't the reality of a time-out that the child is forced into isolation (which, for most children, is a negative, anxiety-producing experience)? (Time-outs are generally said not to "work" if the child is enjoying himself in isolation.) ?

Last month, when it was time to make cookies to leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve, my insistent soon-to-be 8 year old decided we needed a chocolate cookie instead of the butter cookies we had made the day before. I searched my recipes, but nothing jumped out at me as the perfect chocolate cookie for Santa, so I did the logical next step by going to Mel's Kitchen Cafe. There I found her White Chipper Chocolate Cookies. Perfect! We made a batch on Christmas Eve and we all loved them, as I'm sure Santa did as well, based on the empty plate we found the next morning.
One thing about this recipe: It makes a lot of cookies. At least 4 dozen. Which got us wondering what we could do in addition to regular cookies because even though we're cookie lovers, even the most delicious cookie can seem boring when you have over 4 dozen of them to eat. My soon-to-be college freshman daughter immediately thinks of cheesecake when we're brainstorming things to bake. I remembered the other mini cheesecakes she made, the ones with an Oreo as the base. I thought, why not use one of these delicious white chipper chocolate cookies as the base? We were drooling just imagining how yummy it would taste!
So that's what we did last week. We made the cookies as per Mel's recipe, and made two dozen as regular cookies.
The remaining cookie dough was put into muffin tins lined with paper liners. We put in one rounded tablespoon of dough into each paper liner. These in the muffin tins we took out of the oven on the lower end of the baking time — just before the 9 minutes were up. (We used 2 pans, for a total of 24 mini cheesecakes.)
After they were baked and cooled, my daughter made the cheese cake using the basic Philadelphia cream cheese recipe, but halved the ingredients, which ends up being:
- 2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
Once those ingredients were blended together, she put a large scoop of this cream cheese mixture onto each of the cookies in the paper liners in the muffin tins, filling them about 1/2 – 2/3 full.
These little goodies were baked at 325F for 20 minutes. Once cooled, they needed to be refrigerated for a couple hours before serving.
Good news: They were as delicious as I expected they would be! And I think next Christmas Eve we may surprise Santa with one of these mini cheesecakes instead of just cookies. We'll be the favorite house on his route!

Modern Sliding Mode Control Theory

A continuous time sliding mode is generated by means of discontinuities in the applied injection signals, about a surface in the state space [17, 33, 40]. The discontinuity surface (usually known as the sliding surface) is attained from any initial condition ideally in a finite time interval. Provided the injection signals are designed appropriately, the motion when constrained to the surface (the sliding mode) is completely insensitive to so-called matched uncertainties, i.e. uncertainties that lie within the range space of the matrix distributing the injection signals. Much early work in this area related to control problems and assumed all of the states were available for use both in the switching function evaluation and also by the control law. For practical application however, the case when only limited state information is available is of interest.

On brew days, you can hear Tom brewing to the tunes of Pearl Jam, Bob Marley, The Grateful Dead, Led Zepplin, and so on. Tom's California beer-drinking youth provided him with a strong affinity for the pioneers of micro-brewing, back when Sierra Nevada, Pete's Wicked, and Mendocino Brewing were small craft brewers. Decades of drinking beer – and specifically micro-brews – have contributed to Tom's brewing pedigree. (Or so he says.) Currently he is a big fan of Fremont and Russian River Brewing, and these companies have influenced his brewing style which he calls "aggressive California-style ales, with a Northwest twist, using fresh Northwest ingredients".Barhop Brewing brews small batch handcrafted micro-brews in Port Angeles, Washington. Our ales are made from fresh Olympic Mountain water. Our grain supplier is in Vancouver, Washington and we use only whole leaf hops from Putterbaugh Farms in Mabton, Washington.

Bernal Recall Leaders Say They Are Approaching Their Goal
Groups that are seeking to recall Councilman Diego Bernal over that Gay and Lesbian non discrimination ordinance say they are about five sixths of the way toward their goal, despite what they say is continued harassment by city officials, 1200 WOAI news reports.
"We think in about two weeks we will be giving City Council the signatures necessary for a recall," said spokeswoman Gina Castaneda, who is a spokeswoman for the recall effort.
Bernal was the chief sponsor of the measure, which added sexual orientation and 'gender identity' to the list of protected groups under the city's anti discrimination law. The proposal passed council 8-3 and is now in effect.
The City Charter says members of council can be placed up for a recall election if citizens can get the signatures of 10 percent of the registered voters in the councilman's district. Castaneda estimates that it about 6,000 signatures and the group has already gotten about 5,000.
But Castaneda says the group has endured harassment from city officials.
"Diego himself has told us this is illegal, what we are doing," she said.
The group says city employees on city time have been taking pictures of people circulating petitions, they have been 'visited daily' by the Police Department, and have been ordered not to park in public parking spaces.
The group was also attempting to recall Mayor Castro, who was a big backer of the proposal, but recalling the Mayor requires the signatures of 10% of all registered voters in the city, which would be a major undertaking.
The City Charter requires Council to call a special recall election within 30 days of the City Clerk certifying the validity of the signatures on the petition.
Some people circulating petitions have been claiming that the measure has led to me entering women's restrooms and sexually assaulting little girls, but the law specifcially excludes any mention of restrooms, and there have been no reports of any sexual assaults related to the NDO>

With all this bay pride lately , I figured I'd post up mine. This was the first vw I owned. I bought in when I was 18 years old in 1990. I lowered it in the mid 90's with a bus boys beam and boomerang plates. It's got a 2 liter with 40 mm dellortos...and runs pretty damn good. It's always been a vw that I can jump in and go. It's worn a couple different paint jobs and I did some "90's custom" body work tricks (some I regret now)- frenched tail lights, frenched front turn signals, check out those side markers! (totally gnarly dude!), all body seams welded shut, widened air scoops.
I didn't do much with it last year and it never left my driveway. Today, I threw a battery in it and it fired right up! I've got plans for it this winter. I have a LP beam...thinking of doing a conversion or atleast dropped spindles, and change out those tires. Here's some pics from today and the past.....she was a show queen in the 90's!! Be gentle with the comments

OH SHE WAS A SHOW QUEEN IN THE 90'S SON!! check out that display!! lol

A Test of Searle's Speech Act Theory: A Case Study of Lebanese Religious Proverbs
A growing body of research theorized on language use with the aim of better understanding the implications of language on culture and vice-versa. Searle's Speech Acts Theory based on Austin's analysis of performative utterances, divided speech acts into five categories: Directive, Commissive, Expressive, Representative, and Declaration. This study aims at testing, with a platform of selected Lebanese Arabic religious proverbs, the validity of Searle's theory when applied within a cultural specific context. Results and findings support Searle's speech act theory, when tested on Lebanese religious proverbs, and it's applicability of such a theory on non-western communication modes. The major findings are: two categories were found to be highly applicable which are 'representative' speech act (43%); commissive speech acts (30%), and the non-applicability of 'declarations' speech acts. Scope for further research is identified and provided.
Keywords: Culture, Language, Speech Act, Religious Proverbs

The Graduate Teacher Program provides professional development opportunities, career consulting, videotape consultation, and teacher training for all graduate students. Because teaching skills prepare graduate students for any career, all graduate students, including those with no teaching appointments, TAs, GPTIs, and RAs are welcome at GTP workshops on teaching, research, service, and personal and professional development. Workshops are held prior to both fall and spring semesters, throughout the academic year, and during summer session. Topics range from preparing a syllabus, diversity issues, effective approaches to research, academic service, and conflict management to preparing for an academic job interview.
The Graduate Teacher Program offers three certificates: the Certificate in College Teaching for graduate students who actually teach; the Professional Development Certificate for Preparing Future Faculty (PDC/PFF); and, in collaboration with Career Services, the Professional Development Certificate for graduate students who are considering nonacademic career paths in business, government, industry (PDC/BGIA), or the arts. Requirements for each are posted on the GTP website at gtp.colorado.edu.
The Lead Graduate Teacher Network offers academic leadership training to 50 graduate students each year. Leads receive the Best Should Teach Silver Award, spend one week in extensive training, and assist departmental faculty with discipline-specific TA training.
International graduate students may benefit from the pre-fall-semester Cultural Intensive, workshops throughout the year, individualized consultation on teaching and career planning, and referrals to ESL services.
The Graduate Teacher Program's Collaborative Preparing Future Faculty Network (COPFFN) provides professional development opportunities for graduate students and faculty. PFF fellows may attend site visits on partner campuses, identify a faculty mentor on a partner campus, work on technology projects, and pursue the PDC/PFF.
The Graduate Teacher Program collaborates with the University Libraries to provide Provost's Fellowships to graduate students who wish to explore academic librarianship as a career.

PT made my waves weaker?
So I have fine hair that is color treated. So, it is safe to assume PT would be a good thing. I did the gelatin recipe from here. My hair FEELS amazing. But my waves got weaker.
OK, here is my hair a couple of days before the PT....
It wasn't completely dry yet, but it stayed pretty wavy. Was slightly greasy looking...but I think I was detoxing b/c I am new to CG.
Here is my hair today (a few days after PT), and I wash/fixed my hair exactly the same way.
Isn't a PT supposed to enhance wave/curl? Is it b/c I am still new to CG? How often should I keep PT? Does it take more than one treatment to see curl improvement?
I thought my hair was 2b, but it looks more 2a today.....
I am using VO5 lime kiwi to cow ash, and now the Suave for LI and RO. I was trying to see if the GF I have was weighing it down....but I don't think it was.
Any advice/tips?
This is the same problem I had last weekend. I limited protein this week and it helped. The first two days after the PT I didn't use RO and I haven't used LI all week either (sometimes my hair looks like that when I over condition, too). After a week my hair is feeling dry but my curl pattern is a bit stronger. I tried a RO with protein today and I'm limp again. My plan is to focus on moisture for now then try different protein.
I wish I knew the actual solution to this :)
Sent from my HTC Glacier using CurlTalk App
I had the same problem, but I followed it with a coconut deep conditioning and after that my hair looked great.
What did you do before and after the pt?
2c (3a potential?), M, ii, porous, good elasticity, APL, dark brown with a silver lining.
Love coconut oil, olive oil, and Everyday Shea!
HGs are simple, natural, and destroy frizzzz!!
Before hand, I did my lo-poo. Afterwards I left some of my Sauce condish in for like 5min and rinsed. Maybe I should have done more of a DT? I have coconut oil and my hair likes it.....how do I DT with it?
I just found a thread talking about how to tell if your hair needs protein, so I am going to try the stretch test today. My curl pattern does look pretty good right after the shower....then droops as the day goes on with it w/o product.
While most people complain of brittle straw-like hair if they use too much protein, there are a number of people who get softer and straighter hair instead. It could be that your hair dislikes the specific protein you used, or it could be a protein sensitivity. You would have to experiment more to know for sure. The guidelines of fine hair likes protein and coarse hair doesn't aren't hard and fast rules and there are women here with fine color-treated hair who cannot do PTs. In the end, no two heads of hair are exactly the same.

According to the stretch test I need protein. My hair stretched a LOT....like 70%.
So I did something wrong? I will try again, and see if it is better....
Like I said my hair felt good afterward, just weaker waves. Guess I will experiment more.
It might just be that particular type of protein. You might want to try using something else and see if you get the same results.
Sent from my BlackBerry 9800 using Tapatalk
Yep my hair reacts to gelatin as if it's been over conditioned (limp, softly frizzy, straight, very stretchy). Even more odd, it improves after oiling (which should be making it more conditioned). I think I respond "normally" to hydrolyzed wheat protein though.
Anyway, I use coconut oil by wetting my hair, then saturating my hair with coconut oil (i use about 1/4 c ). I let the oil sit for about 30 while I take a bath, then use just a little mild shampoo to remove the excess oil. My hair still feels slick when wet, but when dry my hair should not feel oily any more. (you may have to use more or less shampoo depending on how well your hair absorbs oil)
2c/3a, M, ii, porous, good elasticity, APL, silvery dark brown.
Love coconut oil, olive oil, and Everyday Shea!
Does coconut oil have protein in it?
I just realized I haven't lo-poo ed in a while. Maybe that is it? I will lo-poo soon to see if that is it before trying anything different.
And if I wanted to try a non-gelatin PT, what do u recommend? I would prefer to either make it myself or have an inexpensive purchase. I am on a very limited income, so I tend to DIY for just about everything to save money.
I would try checking around on the site for some recipe ideas. If you have a Sally's nearby you could also try the GVP K-Pak.
Sent from my BlackBerry 9800 using Tapatalk
No oils contain protein. But coconut oil and some other saturated fats bind to protein in the hair, slowing protein loss.
You could use a conditioner high in protein as a protein treatment, like Nature's Gate or some VO5's.
2c/3a, M, ii, porous, good elasticity, APL, silvery dark brown.
Love coconut oil, olive oil, and Everyday Shea!
OK, so I lo-pooed and that helped. So maybe I just needed a lo-poo? It had been almost 2 wks since I had. I never had a set schedule to lo-poo....just did it when my hair seemed dirty/oily. But co-washing kept my hair looking clean. Interesting.
I will make sure I lo-poo on a schedule so that doesn't happen again.
I am planning on getting to Sally's today and going to buy a GVP K-pac to see how that works.

3/19/13 - My lil' bebe' crossed the Rainbow Bridge on 9 weeks and 5 days ago. That's how I tell time now - how many weeks it's been since Travis left us :( He beat cancer twice - once in December 2011 & again in April 2012 but it came back in December 2012 & settled in his jaw, which prevented him from eating (a huge mass grew up & over his teeth so he'd often rupture it when he'd try to chew so he lost a lot of weight pretty quickly) & he became anemic as well. I tried so hard to keep him with us as long as I could; I even took him to a holistic vet who'd had success in curing animals of inoperable cancers but we didn't have enough time. Travis was given his terminal diagnosis on 12/6/12 & he crossed the Bridge 5 weeks later to the day. I was with him when he gasped his last breaths & I held him in my arms long after he passed. I think about him every day & miss him like crazy. This is the first time I've been back on Catster since he left me - all the Fisher kitties have broken hearts & we miss our lil' bebe' so much that it hurts. At least he's no longer in any pain & I know we'll see him again. I love you, Travis!

Forced air and radiant system advice needed
I could really use some advice. I have an outdoor wood furnace supplying 180 degree water to my house. I have hydronic radiant floor heat on the first floor, it works great. We could not put radiant on the second floor so we have a heat pump there. Now I would like to run a hot water line from my wood furnace to the second floor and put a water-to-air exchanger in the air handler. Should I install a second thermostat to just turn on the fan or should I try to wire everything to a single fancy t-stat? My heat pump has normal heat and emergency heat so adding the hot water heat would make 3 stages, right? Naturally I want to use the hot water as the primary heat source, say set that to 72, then have the heat pump kick on at 65 in emergencies or when I can't feed the fire. Anybody done this? Any advice? Thanks.
It can be done.
But it takes a higher end thermostat.
You will also need to redo some of your duct work, because the hydro coil will restrict air flow. And could cause trouble for teh HP compressor in both heating and cooling mode.

The Haunted Mansion is well known as the creme de la creme of Disney Illusioneering, and every fan can tell you how it works, from the spinning ballroom dancers (Pepper's Ghost) to the Hitchhikers (one-way glass). But consider the Stretch Rooms in Magic Kingdom and all the pieces that must be in place in order for the illusion to work properly. One misstep and the whole thing falls apart.
Step 4 – Light Source. There's a movie trick known as practical lighting, in which the light source illuminating an actor or set is theoretically coming from a logical light source (like a table lamp or a window), even though the cinematographer has actually lit the set with giant movie lights that are not visible on camera. Now you know why the gargoyles hold flickering candles.
Step 7 – The scrim. The ceiling is nothing more than fabric painted that will turn invisible when lit from behind. This accounts for how that hanging body suddenly comes visible. He is hanging up there the entire time, just waiting for the ceiling scrim to reach him. Oh, and the light source? Lightning flashes from windows at the top of the room, on all four sides of the body.
Step 10 – Proportions. This is extremely subtle, but really helps to sell the entire stretching effect. We mentioned earlier that the lower part of the stretch room is a cage, and only the ceiling (in WDW) moves. But that's not entirely true. During the course of the Ghost Host's speech, the gargoyle mantle is also moving upwards, but at a slower rate than the ceiling. This provides a proportionate stretching affect, such that the wood-paneled cage below the gargoyles will still appear to be the same proportion in respect to the gallery above it once the stretching is complete.

Dec. 14, 2011
The University of Minnesota (7-6) women's basketball team came up short in its final non-conference road game of the season as it fell to host Denver (8-3), 73-62, Wednesday night at Magness Arena.
Freshman Rachel Banham led the Gophers in scoring for the sixth time this year with 14 points, which included a career-high four three-point baskets and five rebounds.
Senior Kiara Buford and sophomore Kionna Kellogg each added 13 points for the visitors, with Buford extending her double-digit scoring streak to a Big-Ten best 13 games.
Banham and Buford were part of a trio of players that had five rebounds in the contest, while junior Katie Loberg paced the squad with nine rebounds to go along with six points, two assists and a block.
Minnesota opened the game on a 10-4 run, getting three points from Banham and Leah Cotton during the stretch, and went on to lead by as many as 11 points, 20-9, with just over 13 minutes to play in the half.
But, the Pioneers put together a 14-4 scoring stretch to take its first lead of the contest, 25-24, with 6:54 remaining. The two squads would tie the game three times before two free throws by Denver with 32 seconds remaining sent the home team into halftime with the lead.
It marked the first time in Minnesota's last four games that it trailed heading into intermission, holding leads vs. Air Force, Harvard and Alcorn State at the half in its previous three contests.
Denver continued its hot hand in the opening minutes of the second stanza with a 9-3 run, which included six points from Kaetlyn Murdoch, and would continue the trend through the remainder of the half.
Minnesota would pull within five points of the Pioneers late in the game, 62-57, but the home team was able to stave off the Gophers' attack to hold on for the win.
Following a significant break, the Gophers conclude non-conference play Dec. 23 vs. the New Jersey Institute of Technology at Williams Arena. The game is scheduled to get underway at 7:00 p.m.

Category: baby name Amelia
By Eleanor Nickerson, British Baby Names
It's official! The number 1 names in 2013 for England and Wales were Amelia, for the third year running, and Oliver, last at #1 in 2010. Steep climbers Ava and Isla both made it to the Top 5 and Oscar and Poppy were in the Top 10 for the first time.
According to a study on baby name trends by the Office of National Statistics , the Prince George Effect on names has been so far overrated — though the names of royals Harry, William, and George all now rank in the Top 10 for boys.
Here is a list of the Top 30 names:
By Abby Sandel, Appellation Mountain
Snooki is looking for another Italian name. David Arquette promised to name his baby something normal. Kerry Washington honored her daughter's Igbo heritage with a distinctive middle, and blogger Dana Miller borrowed a street name for a deeply meaningful choice.
For many of us, we know the characteristics we'd like in our child's name long before we arrive at the actual name.
It seems sensible. It's the way we shop for a car – seats six, good safety record – or a couch – stain-resistant fabric, big enough to fill up the family room, convenient delivery available.
But it isn't the same at all, is it? When it comes to naming our children, we're not completing a checklist that gets us to good enough. The standard is higher – we're looking for a certain magic.
April showers bring May… baby names? The fifth month, along with tulips, orchids and apple blossoms, promises a number of colorful and exciting baby names, twelve to be exact, that denote its history. This month, it's astronauts, record-breaking aviators, activists and Olympic athletes who grace the charts of notable May names. Take a look and see if maybe one might be a perfect match for any future Taurus or Gemini.
Alan—The first American to enter outer space, on May 5, 1961, was Alan Shepard, piloting the Freedom 7 spacecraft. This triumph took place during the era of booming technology that became known as the Space Race. The Irish name meaning "handsome, cheerful" is one of three popular spellings, along with Allen and Allan.
By Eleanor Nickerson of British Baby Names
Traditionally, members of British royalty have not only been given a whole string of middle names, most have also been given an affectionate nickname. Queen Victoria's children, for example, answered to Vicky (Victoria), Bertie (Albert), Alee (Alice), Affie (Alfred), Lenchen (Helena), Loosy (Louise), Leo (Leopold) and Baby (Beatrice).
Previously, these names were kept within the family. But more recently, Charles and Diana broke the mold by formally announcing after their sons' births that they were going to call William "Wills" and that Henry was to be called "Harry".
This then opens up a variety of options for William and Catherine. Let's say they choose the name "Elizabeth Diana Catherine Charlotte" for a daughter. They could use a nickname for the first name – Bess, Betsy, Lily, Eliza? – or announce that they will call her by one of her middle names, or even a nickname from the middle name – Lottie, say, or Kitty.
By Linda Rosenkrantz
Let's face it—most TV character names are predictable and dull. It's almost as though the screenwriters close their eyes and stick a pin into a list of what seem like age-appropriate monikers—Jim for Grandpa, Jack for Dad, Jackson for Son or Betty for Grandma, Beth for Mom and Becca for Girl.
But luckily there are some exceptions, the creative minority that shine out from the others like glistening gems. The names below are drawn from the character lists of current shows or those that have recently expired—running on a bewildering number of channels—network, cable and online. Reality and animated shows not included.
I've starred the names that have already seemed to have had an influence in the real world.

Check out an SR40.....manual safety, mag safety, trigger safety. Under your budget...17 rds.....or get a used Beretta 96.
I purchased my 9mm Beretta Px4 storm full size and I'm really enjoying taking it to the range. I basically practice and handle it daily when I'm not travelling. I'm deeply considering buying a second one, possibly a .40 caliber, either a S&W MP40, Glock .40 (probably full size as I have a big hand and live in CA, CCW isnt an option), or possibly a Sig .40. Is it too early for me to get another one?
What would you get if you were in my shoes? I think sigs are a little more than I wanna spend. I'm looking to spend around $500 which I'm pretty sure I can get the S&W or Glock.
Also, I do like the extra safety on my beretta, which I know the Glock doesnt have.
What do you guys think, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Check out an SR40.....manual safety, mag safety, trigger safety. Under your budget...17 rds.....or get a used Beretta 96.
I'm sorry! It's too early to buy another one. Check back with the forum in a couple months.
I say it is never too early to fall in love again.
I am of the mind set that there is no such thing as too much ammo, too many guns, or too much food. Considering that you are looking into a different caliber, it makes it all the more reasonable to not wait. It isn't like you are wanting another 9. You are wanting a .40. It is apples and oranges.
I say if you have the money go for it.
Look at a Sig P250C in .40 cal.
BTW.....you should never ask yourself particular questions. Especially one like, Is it too soon to buy another gun?
It's a no-brainer.
Never too early. Never enough guns lol. And they're better than women because one doesn't complain when you get your hands all over another one.
Heck, get another PX4 in .40 if the 9mm is treating you good. I have a full size .40 and love it. For me it would be a no brainer since the operation is the same, muscle memory would be identical. I am in the same camp however my 9mm is a SC model PX4. As for being too early, it is never too early. I bought 5 handguns in 5 months...
I say buy that .40. I have a glock 23 and love it, but those Berettas are really sweet. If you want variety get another manufacturer but if you dig the PX4 style, stick with it. You can never have too many guns. Oh and don't concern yourself with the safety on a Glock if you go that route. That trigger safety is extremely reliable.
As long as you've had the proper training go for it..
OP, I would look into the M&P line. Great pistols and the price is not to bad.
Go to: Guns for Sale - Online Gun Auction - Buy Guns at GunBroker.com
Do a search for Sig P250C
Lots to choose from.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Also, considering I have a semi-auto (9mm beretta px4 storm), would you consider switching it up and getting a revolver instead of another semi-auto? .357 magnum or something of the like? I just really like my semi-auto and they are popular for a reason, right?
Do you think that I should pay my electric bill today, or wait till next week, and what about the cable bill? I could pay it today, but they really tick me off, so maybe i'll pay it late, and I think it might snow by me....do you think I should buy a new shovel, or just use the one I have? My car was running funny the other day, do you think it's the gas, or maybe the fuel filter, or maybe I just don't drive it enough...what do you think?UOTE=TheLAGuy;281792]Thanks for the recommendation.

Everybody should have at least one revolver or 12.
Me....I prefer S&W. I have calibers from .22LR to .44 Mag. I do prefer the SS ones over the blue ones. But that's just me.
I've heard that there are mentally disturbed individuals out there that prefer the blue over the SS. Go figure!
Anyways, try to take it one step at a time and not take on too much all at once. Educate yourself as much as you can on firearms. If you do, you will find it most rewarding.
No, we've just gotten to know your patterns.....Jeez man, I'm just asking for some advice. NO reason to be a jerk about it! Tough crowd![/QUOTE]
What are my patterns exactly? Trying to spur conversation? I don't get it.. but thats alright.

Liver Cancer: Entire Lesson
What is liver cancer?
Liver cancer is one of the most significant problems that a person with hepatitis C can develop. The medical term for the main cancer that begins in the liver is hepatocellular carcinoma (pronounced "HEP-a-toe-SEL-yoo-ler KAR-sih-NOH-muh"), or HCC for short. Some people also call it "hepatoma." We will refer to HCC as "liver cancer" here.
Who gets liver cancer?
People with long-standing hepatitis C who develop cirrhosis are at increased risk of developing liver cancer. Those who do not develop cirrhosis usually do not develop liver cancer. Among people with both hepatitis C and cirrhosis living in the United States, about 1-4% per year will develop liver cancer.
Other groups of people also can develop liver cancer, including people with cirrhosis resulting from long-term heavy alcohol use and people with chronic hepatitis B. Those with hepatitis B have an increased risk even if cirrhosis has not developed. The risk of developing liver cancer is higher for people living in Asia and Africa than it is for people living the United States.
Experts recommend that persons with hepatitis C who have developed cirrhosis be tested regularly for signs of liver cancer, even if they have no symptoms. Testing for the presence of a disease before there are any symptoms is called "screening." Repeat testing, such as every 6 or 12 months, is called "surveillance."
How is liver cancer diagnosed?
A diagnosis of liver cancer can be made if a mass is seen in the liver and a blood test reveals high levels of a substance called alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Radiologists can take images of the liver to check for any mass. That can be done with:
- ultrasound
- a computed tomography (CT) scan
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
An extremely high level of AFP alone can indicate that liver cancer is present, but it is especially likely if a mass is seen in the liver images as well. A high level of AFP and the appearance of a mass in the liver sometimes are sufficient for making a diagnosis of liver cancer, without doing a biopsy. If not, further testing can be done by taking a small sample of the mass with a hollow needle or by removing the mass and examining the tissue for cancer.
The benefit of screening and surveillance for liver cancer is that it can be detected in its early stages, when there are more options for treatment. When liver cancer is found at a more advanced stage, involving either a large tumor or symptoms such as abdominal pain, fewer treatment options are available.
Things to know about liver cancer
- Liver cancer can cause death in a person with cirrhosis.
- Patients with cirrhosis resulting from any cause, including hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and alcohol use, have a greater risk of developing liver cancer.
- Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, especially in Asia and Africa, and it is becoming increasingly common in the United States.
- Biopsy refers to extracting a small sample of tissue with a hollow needle and testing it for liver cancer. A biopsy is sometimes needed to make a diagnosis, but imaging and blood tests can usually determine whether liver cancer is present. Biopsies of liver masses can be difficult to perform and there are some risks involved.
- Liver cancer can be treated if it is detected early, but the treatment is very specialized. Patients should discuss the details thoroughly with their health care providers.
- One excellent treatment for early-stage liver cancer is a liver transplant. This is a complicated form of treatment, because a patient first needs to be a good candidate for a liver transplant, then be evaluated at a liver transplant center and placed on a waiting list, and finally, be well enough to undergo a transplant when a donated liver becomes available.
What are the treatments for liver cancer?
There are several different kinds of treatment:
- Alcohol injection
- Radiofrequency ablation
- Embolization or chemoembolization of arteries in the liver
- Surgical resection
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
- Liver Transplant
Read more about each of these treatments in the following pages.
Alcohol injection
This is the most limited form of direct therapy currently available. With this technique, surgeons or interventional radiologists figure out exactly where a tumor is located within the liver, often with an ultrasound scan, and pass a needle into it. Through the needle, they inject a liquid containing a high concentration of alcohol. The alcohol is so concentrated that it kills whatever cells it contacts, ideally, mostly liver cancer cells.
This form of treatment is most effective in treating small liver tumors (less than 3 centimeters in size). Occasionally, more than one small tumor can be treated at the same time, which places less stress on the rest of the liver.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
With this technique, surgeons or interventional radiologists place metal wires directly into a tumor and super-heat it, killing the cancer cells. This may be done through an operation in the abdomen where the liver can be examined directly, or it may be done through the skin.
This form of treatment can kill either small or medium-size liver tumors (often, up to 5 centimeters in size). This treatment can cause stress to the liver, and sometimes patients are kept in the hospital for a day or longer after RFA for observation.
Embolization or chemoembolization
With this technique, interventional radiologists pass special plastic tubes (called catheters) into the arteries of the liver, directly cutting off the blood supply to liver tumors. The catheters are usually passed up to the liver through one of the main arteries in the groin or upper thigh. This technique is excellent for killing several small tumors in the same area or tumors that cannot be treated effectively by any other method. One advantage of this technique is that liver tumors get almost all their blood supply from arteries, but healthy areas of the liver get most of their blood from veins.
This treatment can involve simply cutting off blood from arteries (embolization) or putting chemotherapy medications directly into the arteries going to the tumors (chemoembolization). The technique is sometimes used immediately before a liver transplant, in an attempt to kill all the tumor cells so that they do not move into the new liver.
Surgical resection
Surgical resection involves surgeons cutting out the tumors from the liver directly. The procedure is performed with the patient unconscious in an operating room. This is a very effective treatment for liver cancer, but the surgery can be performed only if the patient's liver is functioning well enough to allow a portion of it to be removed. Surgical resection can be quite stressful to the liver because it is cut directly. Patients often remain in the hospital for monitoring for several days after receiving this treatment.
Chemotherapy or radiation therapy
Chemotherapy is treatment in which medications that are toxic to tumors are given to patients by intravenous infusion or in pill form. There is more hope that new chemotherapies can more effective than in the past..and can even lengthen survival in some patients. There is still a limited role for chemotherapy but it is expanding.
Radiation therapy
Using radiation is not effective, as that damages the rest of the liver as much as cancerous areas.
Liver transplant
Liver transplant is an effective treatment for liver cancer as long as the tumors are very small and are located in only a few areas of the liver. Once cancer has spread to blood vessels within the liver or has moved outside the liver, it is too late to control the cancer with a transplant. The advantage of performing a transplant when liver cancer is still in the early stage is that more tumors can form in the liver over time, and replacing the entire liver with a transplanted one lowers the risk of that happening.
Transplantation is the most complex form of treatment for liver cancer. The section on Liver Transplant provides more details about the process of being referred to a transplant center and possibly being placed on a transplant waiting list. Patients with liver cancer who are good candidates for a transplant and who want to pursue this option are often given priority for receiving a donated liver in the current U.S. national system.
How can liver cancer be avoided?
For patients with hepatitis C, if the treatments against the virus are pegylated interferon and ribavirin are successful in clearing the virus, the treatment can also actually reduce the risk of developing liver cancer. If the virus is cleared, that will reduce the chance of developing cirrhosis. For patients who already have cirrhosis, the treatment can sometimes reduce the risk that liver cancer will develop.
For patients who have cirrhosis resulting from hepatitis C or alcohol use, the risk of further damage to the liver can be reduced by avoiding alcohol.
Patients with advanced cirrhosis can be evaluated for a liver transplant before liver cancer develops.
Patients with hepatitis B and a high hepatitis B viral load can be treated with medications for hepatitis B. Reducing the hepatitis B viral load will reduce the chance of developing liver cancer.
Liver cancer is becoming more common as a late complication of chronic hepatitis C infection among patients who have developed cirrhosis. Patients who are concerned about their risk of cancer should discuss with their medical care providers how they can protect themselves from it. Tests that take images of the liver (e.g., ultrasound, CT, MRI scans), together with measurements of AFP levels in the blood, can detect liver cancer early much of the time.
Once liver cancer is diagnosed, a patient should discuss the options for treatment with health care professionals who have experience managing this type of cancer. This often involves liver specialists, surgeons, interventional radiologists, cancer specialists (called oncologists), and other professionals. Within the VA health care system, this may involve care at larger facilities where more management options are available.
Treatment of liver cancer can involve a lot of discussions and information. Sometimes a number of treatments are required over time to control the cancer. The most important thing for patients with cancer to do is continue discussing plans for treatment with their health care providers, so that they have the widest range of options available and can decide with their providers which options are best for them

How do I make my dog listen to me even when she is distracted?
My dog dosn't listen to my commands if she is outside or if she is distracted by something around her. (her ears pop up and she's gone like the wind). Thanks!!

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
You can turn the distractions around on her. For example, say that I'm at the dog park and that my dogs just loves to meet other dogs. He gets distracted and won't obey me by them. What do I do? I have him sit and then use him meetings other dogs are a reward. First, I would start by having him leashed and telling him to sit. If he didn't sit on command even though he knows the tricks I would push his little behind down and then use going to meet another dog as his reward. It may take a while for him to get it, but he'll figure it out eventually.
And/or, you could try to provide her with something that she likes better than what she's distracted by and reward her with that for obeying.
Hope that helps.

My chi's don't like to listen to me, either! We're working on it though, using a tip from Victoria Stillwell. You have to make your dog think that YOU are the most wonderful thing in their environment, wherever that might be or whatever else might be going on.
We're using tasty treats to reward them for giving us their attention, coming when called, etc. Also, we only call them for something good or fun, not when they're going to getting a bath or medicine - if we need to do that, we go to them. When they're outside, we call them back to us a few times, giving treats when they come instead of only calling them when it's time to go inside. Gradually, the treats are being phased out, but the fun isn't. So far, it's working well but you do have to be consistent.

Most dogs are like this. They know and perform a command 100% of the time indoors, but they do not perform the same command outdoors or under distraction.
The reason for this is that you have to proof every command and that dogs are situational learners. To a dog, "sit" next to you is a different command than "sit" in front of you, and "sit" in the kitchen with no distractions is a different command than "sit" at the crossroads with traffic going by.
When you teach any commands, you start off by teaching them in your own home without distractions. Then you move outside (with no / few distractions) and teach the same command there. Then you take the dog in an area with a lot of distractions and work on the command there.
ONLY when your dog does the command whenever you ask, and wherever you are, is she trained to follow your commands.
Use treats, clicker, leash, etc. to work on commands in other places, just like you would training a new command at home.

AstraZeneca announced that it has entered into a collaboration with gene sequencing company Illumina, Inc. to develop its next generation sequencing (NGS) platform for companion diagnostic tests applicable across AstraZeneca's oncology portfolio. In the first instance, AstraZeneca intends to apply Illumina's cutting-edge technology to a novel companion diagnostic test in pivotal studies for one of its investigational oncology compounds. This is expected to be one of the first NGS-based companion diagnostic tests for a novel drug in the world, and its application could speed the clinical trial process.
