Making a bit extra by donating sperm or eggs sounds rather desperate, but both are perfectly legal in the UK and help otherwise childless couples start a longed-for family. Although there are some pitfalls, altruistic donations earn quick money – especially if you're a man.
What's involved?
Sperm donation
Discuss your options at the local fertility clinic or hospital and contact the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) for a list of local approved centres.
Sperm donors should be aged between 18 and 41, however due to less substantial evidence on age limits for sperm donors, centres can assess the possible effect of a donor's age on a case-by-case basis.
Donors' sexuality is not an issue, neither is their intelligence. The only necessities are that you should not have any history of sexually-transmitted infection, or a personal or family history of inheritable disorders. You must undergo medical screening, including an HIV test.
The process for men is pretty straightforward, although many are turned away because the quality of their sperm is not high enough.
Initially the donor will be asked by the clinic to produce a semen sample. This will be examined in the laboratory. Donors are advised to abstain from sexual activity for three to five days before this.
A blood sample will also be taken, so that the donor can be screened for common genetic disorders and sexually-transmitted infections.
To improve your sperm's quality, do not smoke or take recreational drugs, limit your alcohol intake to the meagre recommended weekly allowance and cut back on red meat consumption. Taking these steps will save you money into the bargain.
If you're accepted as a sperm donor and you agree to enter the programme then you'll need to sign legal forms giving your consent to the storage of your samples and allowing their use. The samples you donate will be kept in storage for up to 10 years, but you may specify a shorter time if you wish.
In addition, notes will be made about your physical appearance (e.g. build, complexion, eye and hair colour) and these details may be used to match your characteristics with those of the recipients of your donated sperm.
Your details will be held on a register maintained by the HFEA as a safeguard against inappropriate sexual relationships between children sharing the same (genetic) father.
Donor-conceived adults can find out the identity of their donor when they reach the age of 18. It is therefore advisable that donors consider the impact of this properly at the time of donation. Often clinics will provide counselling in relation to the future consequences.
Egg donation
The process of egg donation is far more onerous than that for sperm donors.
The egg donor must be between the ages of 18 and 36 and before the donation takes place a donor will have to undergo screening to limit the chance of genetic abnormalities and sexually-transmitted diseases.
If you're found to be suitable to donate, you'll be matched with a couple who have infertility issues. The donor is then given fertility drugs to administer at home; these stimulate the ovaries into producing a number of eggs.
It's important that the clinic monitors the donor closely during this time, as there can be side effects from the drugs. When ready, the eggs will be harvested either when the donor is sedated or under general anaesthetic. Once this process is completed successfully, the donor will receive their compensation payment.
Egg sharing
Some clinics offer women the chance to share their eggs. This means that a woman who is able to can donate her eggs to an infertile couple in return for IVF treatment. As IVF treatment can cost £5,000 to £10,000 per cycle, this can be an attractive prospect for women who do not have problems with their own egg production, but who require IVF treatment to get pregnant.
How much can you make?
Technically according to the HFEA, you aren't allowed to be paid for donating sperm. Instead sperm donors are entitled to £35 per donation, to cover reasonable expenses such as travel.
In the UK, the HFEA advises that the payment is for egg donation is low to ensure that people 'donate' out of altruism rather than for the money. Payments are capped at £750 per cycle or course.
Things to consider
This is a fairly easy way to make some money if you're a man – in fact it could be seen as a way to make money out of a leisure activity! The process is far more invasive for women.
According to the HFEA, an egg and sperm donor have the following legal responsibilities:
- You won't be the legal parent of any child born as a result of your donation
- You'll have no legal obligation to any child born from your donation
- You won't be named on the birth certificate
- You won't have any rights over how the child will be brought up
- You won't be asked to support the child financially.
The decision to donate sperm or eggs should not be one that's made lightly. Although donors remain anonymous at the time of donation, a child does have the right to trace the donor when he/she reaches the age of 18. The implications of this should be considered properly at the time of donation.
However it must be remembered that it is because of donation (whether it be eggs or sperm) that those who are unable to conceive without the help of a third party are able to to have the family they want.
Egg donation carries health risks that may not be outweighed by the amount you'll probably earn – around £750 for one cycle. Sperm donation is relatively risk free. A potential drawback is that any child born after 2005 as a result of sperm or egg donation has the right to trace their biological father or mother.

Before Mr. T was born there were a few things I was looking forward to. I can't explain why, but I really wanted to carry him around on my shoulders, have him stand on my feet and then walk around the room and get him out of the car while he was sleeping, throw him over my shoulder and take him up to bed.
The good news is that I have achieved these three daddy goals. The sleeping thing happened pretty quickly, as you might imagine. He always loves getting on to my shoulders and riding me like a horse. Whenever we are in the lift together he demands to get on my feet and dance around.
We can never rest on our laurels, though. So I have come up with some more daddy goals to hopefully achieve in the next couple of years.
Have a conversation in English
Mr. T's language skills are fast developing, and at the moment he is still learning as many new words in English as in Portuguese. This is somewhat surprising as I am still pretty much the only source of English that he has. Within the next couple of years I hope to have a proper conversation with him in English, as opposed to chats we have at the moment which invariable involve him talking about the door on a bus opening.
Play football together
I was never the world's greatest footballer, and I really don't care if Mr. T decides football isn't for him, either. I would love, though, to be able to go the park with a football and just kick it around for a bit. I see other dads doing this and it seems like such a great way to get some quality boy time.
Read a story together
I read a lot to him at the moment, but it is just me reading and him pointing at the pictures. I can't wait to be able to read a story together and have him say some of the words and then talk about the story and what he thinks is going to happen next.

The car wash i normally use has the side and top spinning vinyl brushes. I tried whats supposed to be a good touchless wash but it completely missed the rear of the car. What are your experiences?

The View from a Moth
Every fledgling has a first flight, but it comes more naturally to our feathered friends than to sit-down sailors who took centuries to achieve liftoff. When it happened, though, it happened big. Foiler Moths11-foot experimental dinghies with hydrofoils on their rudders and centerboardshave gone from controversial to winning their class worlds. To find out what its like taking that first flight we went straight to the source: 2009 Moth world Champion and Rolex Yachtsman of the Year, Bora Gulari.
Its a bit counter-intuitive, Gulari said. People tend to want to sheet in hard, but to get up on the foils, you actually need to ease the sheet and bear away. Speed is your friend, and then its almost automatic, he said. The boat jumps up about two and a half feet out of the water. Everything goes silent, and the speed jumps from 6 knots to 16. You trim instantly, add vang tension to flatten the sail, and you keep your weight forward. At about that point people start giggling and s— eating grins are inevitable.
Unless, of course, you crash.
Well, you could still come up grinning. Im barely in control most of the time, Gulari said. I love it.
Not that crashing is a problem for this guy anymore. In 2009, he owned the Worlds.
The Moth began as a development class in the 1920s, but the boats future was looking dim circa 2000, when a few adventurous Aussies began to experiment with methods to fly the hull clear of the water. Aboard todays boats, the centerboard foil is equipped with a set of trailing flaps that are controlled automatically by a pivoting sensor arm, or wand, on the bow. Under sail, when the hull and wand are immersed, the water presses the wand aft, which activates the flaps through a pushrod, producing maximum flap deflection and maximum lift. As the hull rises clear, the wand falls down and forward, easing the pressure on the flaps and reducing camber, while the higher speed produces the necessary flow to maintain lift.
At the transom, the rudder is mounted on a structure that extends behind the hullspreading the base improves stabilitywhile the rudder foils are adjusted to control bow-up/bow-down angles when sailing up or downwind or in response to a changing breeze: a twist of the tiller extension does the trick. Because the aforementioned wand is off-center, winning form also requires a tweak for different tacks.
According to Gulari, riding high out of the water is good, for minimum resistance, unless you ride too high and the foils lose their bite, and then you crash back down. Once youre foiling, your righting moment increases as you heel to weather, Gulari said. You get a significant increase in power and better performance from the foils The people who crunch numbers tell me its about 22 degrees. That would be upwind. Downwind, the angle of windward heel is less.
Tacks are more violent than gybes because the boats are so light. In Gularis words: Stay flat, get to the new high side quickly, ease the main and finish the turn hard. For gybing, I tell people to think about riding a motorcycle. Unlike non-foiling boats, this one has to lean into the turn. That way the hydrofoils are constantly developing positive lift. Its very much the way an airplane rolls into a turn with the pilot pulling up on the stick. Once you figure out the heel angle, the next is the rate of turn. The boats are going so fast that centripetal force is very real. The more you lean into the turn, the faster you can turn and transition your weight to the new windward side.
To maximize his boats performance, Gulari works with the likes of Seattle-based naval architect Paul Bieker, who designs his foils. One recent iteration cut the wetted surface of the foils by 20 percent and increased upwind speed by as much as a knot at the price of being a little harder to sail.
Moth sails are cut with induced camber to hold shape under tension, even in light wind. Its much like a windsurfer sail, with flat upper sections that are more about reducing drag than creating power.
A Detroit native who slept on floors in Australia to learn from the pioneers, Gulari practiced like a demon to get where he is today. From his first foiler ride to winning the Worlds at the Columbia River Gorge last fall took 26 months. I had sailed 49ers for six years, he explained. I just wanted to go faster.
With speeds regularly hitting the mid-20s, and a world-record run of 30.31 knots last September, it appears hes gotten his wish.

Lunch with Tony Blair

As Boinx Software grows, it becomes more important for us to take an interest in politics. So I enjoyed reading Jonathan Schwartz's account of his lunch with Tony Blair. An important point he makes:
So if you want to attract companies like Sun to your economy, focus on investing in education, in your students, and in your leaders. Focus on educating your policy makers as to why you're committed to education - not to build presitigious institutions, but to invest in progress, academic as well as economic. Focus on the value of broad based talent as a competitive weapon, don't be distracted by cost reducing labor."

The Man Who Came From Yesteryear
Olivia Q. Pintair, a sixth-grade student at Williston Central School, says writing is her passion, and she writes at school, in her room and online at youngwritersproject.org. "I write through the perspective of my characters," she says. "It's almost as if I am thinking their thoughts, feeling their heartbeats in my own chest." Olivia says her family inspires her and encourages her to write. "They mean the world to me and I hope it shows in some of my work."
You're back. Back to the time where everyone else has been forever. We have been here forever because we don't know your secrets. Time travel. You are back... but not really, because when you left, things were different.
You came from the time when life sang as loud as you did. When you could taste magic every time you caught a snowflake on the tip of your tongue. When you knew the man who lived in the next town over.
He's forgotten you now. I'm sorry.
Back to yesteryear when mythical magic was as real as you. Where believing didn't stop when you turned 10. When you noticed your own breathing. When you danced like a child even though you turned 80.
We don't do that here.
Now, life is morbid. Sad as a song that's lost its lyrics. Life keeps moving on, but maybe we should have stopped. Like you did. Maybe we should have taken the time to listen to the silent song. The song that was true.
Life. Even though we can see it, it's dead. You are alive. So teach us. Even though we might not listen.
I know that you know what's real. I know that much... Kind of. Well... no... Actually I guess I don't. Because the world doesn't live where you've just been. Now isn't even close to then. So you might as well go back. Back in time to the land we've forgotten.
The one you remember.

Do you know that every day hundreds of people across our state are or become victims of wage theft? Under current law, employees that experience wage theft must submit a written demand to their employer within 60 days after leaving their job. If they fail to do so, they cannot get statutory penalties for the wage theft. A new bill being proposed right now by some our state legislators (known as the Income Protection Act) would remove the written demand requirement except when an employee files an action in civil court against their employer, in which case they need to make a written demand 14 days prior to filing their complaint to allow the employer to respond to the demand. This is a commonsense bill that would help to ensure a policy of honest work for honest pay for all Colorado workers. Our leaders, especially in the House, need to hear from their constituents about the importance of passing the Protection Act for all workers' earned incomes.

Unplanned Pregnancy, Wrongful Conception and Wrongful Birth
A Georgia woman has filed a $5 million wrongful pregnancy lawsuit against Qualitest Pharmaceuticals. She claims she became pregnant despite taking her birth control pills in the packaging sequence. Of course Qualitest has recalled a number of brands and lots of the pills because they were packaged in the incorrect sequence for effective contraception.
The woman's asking for damages for pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, health care and treatment, loss of earnings, and a loss of ability to earn money.
The lawsuit seeks class action status for all women who've become pregnant because of this product defect.
Original Post
Qualitest Pharmaceuticals recently recalled several brands of oral contraceptives because they posed a risk of unplanned pregnancy. The drug itself is not defective, but a packaging mistake could lead to a woman taking the pills out of sequence. In that case contraception would be ineffective, and a woman could become pregnant unintentionally.
- Oral contraceptives recalled due to risk of unintended pregnancy
- Florida jury awards $4.5 million in "wrongful birth" case
- "Wrongful conception" based on failed sterilization or contraception
Not All States Permit Claims for Wrongful Birth or Pregnancy
A packaging error can make a product defective. For example the failure to warn of harmful side effects or to instruct in safe or proper use of the product can serve as grounds for a lawsuit if a consumer is harmed by the failure. The mistake might also be a breach of warranty. So if an unplanned pregnancy can be considered "harm" a consumer could sue for this result.
About half the states permit lawsuits for what's known as "wrongful birth." It's a controversial concept. The idea is that had the parents of a child known it would be born with a serious birth defect or condition, they would have terminated the pregnancy. Similarly, parents, if informed that a pregnancy carried the risk of defect, like a genetic disease, may have avoided conceiving altogether.
For example, a jury recently awarded the parents of a child born with no arms and one leg $4.5 million. The award is to compensate them for the expenses of caring for their child over his lifetime. The parents sued the ob/gyn who failed to observe the deformities in two sonograms. They also settled separate claims against a hospital whose technicians likewise failed to detect the abnormalities.
In the United States, unplanned pregnancies are as much the rule as the exception. According to the Centers for Disease Control, as many as half of US pregnancies are unplanned. Could someone besides the parents be legally liable for the consequences of an unintended pregnancy?
Sure enough some states allow lawsuits for a "wrongful" pregnancy that results in a normal birth. The "wrongful" part can be a defective sterilization, like vasectomy or tubal ligation, or defective contraception. Damages are limited however. They include the pain and suffering of pregnancy and labor, the costs of medical care for the same and the costs of the failed procedure or contraceptive device. They exclude the costs of rearing a child.
This brings us back to the Qualitest recall. If a woman became pregnant as a result of the ineffectiveness of an oral contraceptive, she might have a cause of action for wrongful pregnancy. I asked attorney Tom Lamb, who authors the Drug Injury Watch blog, about it.
Lamb has been involved in numerous product liability cases involving adverse side effects from oral contraception. "Wrongful pregnancy, like wrongful birth, is a state-by-state matter," he said. "So the first issue is, does the state permit these types of claims."
Being allowed to sue and actually having a case are two different things, Lamb continues. "You're likely to have several problems of proof. In the first place all contraceptives carry some risk of pregnancy. They're not 100 percent effective. Then there are likely to be questions about whether the contraceptives were used correctly."
Lamb also notes that a Supreme Court decision from last June has seriously affected suits against generic drug makers. "The Mensing decision put a roadblock in front of failure to warn cases against generic drugmakers. So now whether you have any case at all may come down to whether your doctor prescribed you the 'name brand' or generic version of the drug that harmed you."
That's something even Justice Thomas, who wrote the opinion in the case, called unfair. Most people, including Lamb, agree. "Hopefully," he said, "Congress will realize this and find the time to fix the law."

This was written in response to the Memorial Day Challenge on HASA – . A call to remembrance in a time of great pain.
My Dearly Beloved,
Would that you should see this letter before my return, but we can hardly spare the warriors to bring such dainties as letters back and forth. To take a step back from these harsh times seems near impossible, but I fear that if I hold my feelings too near I shall not be able to carry on any longer. And so I ask, my dearest love, that should this come to you upon my death, remember my words and give them to the people, that you may not forget your beloveds' sacrifices. For today I stand before my father's pyre.
Ai, Father! His death was brave, my love, do not forget! His crown of gold and leaves glittered bright upon his brow; his sturdy lance he lifted above his head and the silver flash called forth all our people to the fight. Though smoke and ash from the battle in this foul land had smudged his cheeks and stained his skin, truly a king he looked! Bright and bold, the death of the Enemy was in his eye and the name of Elbereth upon his lips. Where the forces of the esteemed High King hesitated and cowered, my father did not fear to turn his lances and arrows upon the foul hordes of Sauron.
And so alone we charged, a single pinnacle of light breaking amongst the Enemy, a tide of Good driving back Evil. But alas, our fight was alone and unaided, for none would come to help us. And yet the good King hacked and slashed and slaughtered; the arrows flew, the lances flashed and parried. Every death amongst our own was repaid ten times over.
But our lone drive was ill-fated today, and I can hardly bear to write the words. A foul arrow flew and pierced my father's chest; his gaze went dark, his crown slipped from his head. And from his saddle the King slumped to my arms.
Remember, love, the last words that he spoke! Remember well his whispered, dying cry! Foresight was not his gift, and yet he saw it; saw our fate and knew it like his own. "The victory is ours," he said to me. "I pass now to Mandos' Great Halls, but the Enemy will not win. He will be driven far, and his rise long delayed again!" And then his soul passed from him, and my grief began.
My father, beloved father … he passed with nearly two-thirds of our force. Forgive my penmanship, my love; my hand trembles from the grief, I cannot stop it. I will send along with this a list of the slain. But do not forget what is written here! Remember the bravery of the fallen, and the courage of the living! You cannot do the ones who passed any greater honor. We will not cease our fight until my father's final vision is fulfilled; we cannot do the ones who passed any greater honor.
I send you all my love and care. Should we not be reunited under Greenwood's sweet trees, may we see each other once again in Aman.
Until then, I am, as I ever was, and ever shall be,
Thranduil Oropherion
Inspired heavily by the play '1776', the line 'Until then, I am, as I ever was, and ever shall be, yours' is stolen directly from the 'letters' between John and Abigail Adams.
Feedback is always appreciated. Thank you.

I picked up this 71 square on ebay earlier in the week and went and got it yesterday. it has dual carbs and a swapped out tranny with a shifter with really nice short throws that seems to be geared for the highway... third gear likes to get up there. Anyway, it drove the 140+ miles beautifully while doing about 70 the entire way. I don't know what engine it is because I couldn't find it but I'll make sure to look it up maybe.

From "Barely Breathing" to Spring Awakening to ... the Smiths? Nearly 20 years after he shot onto the pop charts and into the throbbing hearts of Gen Xers of both sexes, singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik's career has traversed radio airwaves and the boards of Broadway. All that, and his biggest stroke of genius may very well be last year's Covers 80s, a beautifully somber and nostalgic interpretation of the songs comprising the gestalt of Sheik's (and much of his audience's) formative years. – Melanie Haupt

DALLAS - Mayor Mike Rawlings says what happened to a Dallas woman calling 911 Sunday was "unacceptable." It took more than two minutes and 30 seconds for her call to connect from another jurisdiction's 911 center.
The call arrived at the Southwest Regional Communications Center in DeSoto at 12:50 a.m. Sunday. As soon as the caller said her address, which was in the Dallas, the operator began to try to transfer the call to the City of Dallas.
"Standby while I transfer you over to Dallas," the operator told the woman. "Don't hang up."
That was followed by several rings with no answer.
Enough time passed for the operator to say, "Come on Dallas, answer the phone!" Several seconds later he said, "Stay on the line ma'am. Dallas won't pick up. They'll answer eventually."
"Okay," the caller said, through tears.
Eventually a recorded message did pick up, telling the operator and the caller that all 911 operators were answering other calls.
"Do not hang up," the message stated.
That was followed by 24 seconds of something that sounded like a fax machine, several more rings, and then the automated message repeated itself.
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings had not heard the call until News 8 played it for him.
We asked if a call that took two minutes and 34 seconds to reach his city's 911 center proved the center had a problem.
"We had a problem with this lady," he replied.
Rawlings said the timing of the call was one reason for the problem.
"It is in the busiest time of the week -- the busiest night," Rawlings said. "So, knowing how many calls are coming in at that time, it's understandable why it's long. It's not acceptable, but it's understandable."
Rawlings said the goal is to answer each 911 call within 10 seconds.
"I know our numbers show the average call is picked up in 4.6 seconds," he said. "We make our goal 80 percent of the time. But for those [calls] that don't meet that goal, we're changing things in a significant manner to make that happen."
Rawlings said Dallas police have put new leadership in the 911 center. The city is also spending $2 million to hire more employees and upgrade equipment there.
By the time the Dallas 911 center did answer the woman's call, she had already hung up. But DPD says it was the second call they took from that location. The first, they say, came in at 12:39 a.m. and was answered within two rings. They immediately dispatched help, which, they say, arrived at her complex by 12:53 a.m.
"I want excellence every moment," Rawlings said. "When we are short on excellence, it's not acceptable. We've got to do better. We've got to do better."

black diamond
I just bough 2 bag of this stuff.
Can someone tell me what's the stuff in the pic is?
Will it be safe with bottom feeder?
It is breakable and just wanna make sure its safe since one did poke into my skin
Every bag has those in there or is t just my?
Out of the 200lbs I got I never came across anything like that.
Is that so? Hmmm make me kinda worry.
If it just the bag I got I guess I will have to return them.
I just bought 50lbs a few days ago and I have the same stuff in mine. I've read other threads where people found this and went with BD anyhow without problems. I'm just hoping that I don't run into any real issues with the stuff.
Looks almost like metal shavings to me.
I'm keeping bottom feeder like cory, my black ghost knife, and bumble bee cat.
Since cory like to dig I wonder if it will be safe. Just don't want to wake up seeing a piece stuck on one of my fish.
I wouldn't worry about it. If anything just rinse it well to make sure you don't get any shavings. I'm using some in my 10g shrimp tank and love the stuff.
I also just got a bag of black diamond and it has these too. They appear to be the same material as the "grains" just shaped differently.
I think it's just glass shards. Mine has it too. No ill effects in my shrimp tank thus far but I am guessing shrimp aren't really as susceptible to substrate texture like bottom feeder fish.
Thanks all of u, I guess ill go ahead and use it since its 1hr round trip to return it.
Be sure to report back with how it goes. I'm confident that you'll have no problems!
It is just the same stuff as the media, not broken up.
I didn't have any in mine but just use a some type of metal screen. We used it to was before putting into the tank. Really helped with water clarity from the beginning.
I will report in how it goes.
For now here my sand washer. Hehe
5 gallon bucket from Lowes cut about 4-5 inch from the bottom.
Cover with one of my t shirt haha. Work like a pro no sand can go through it.
Put sand.in there and hose it down till water look clear.
Rule 1 is wash couple cup by cup.
You might try using a magnet to see if any of those pieces have steel in them. At least some of them look metallic. I would do that before the sand gets wet.

I have VW99 Passat 1.8L Turbo, automatic with 170K on it.
My car shop changed engine oil yesterday with 4 QTS of Mobile 5W40. Now, when I check my dipstick today, on level surface, the oil level is way too high on dipstick kink [the cross-hatched mark]. I run the engine, shut it off, and let it set for 3 min, but still the level is too high above the Mark. It wets the dipstick almost till the top of its Head.It was reading High when I first checked it, this morning, before starting my car.
It seems the oil is 'overfilled' or showing over filled; and the engine is about to throw it out from filler cap where Dipstick goes in the engine. I saw him using 4 cans 1 QTS oil, which I bought, into my car.
They did change the oil filter at the same time?
Now, my car looses power while driving. When I accelerated from a stop/light, car slows down or limps. The car suffered a sudden loss of power.It runs awful for about a mile but smoothed out after acceleration.It feels like the car is running out of gas for a few seconds, then all of a sudden it kicks in. The car still drives ok though - No error messages/warnings on dash,CEL, no smoke, no hissing. I actually don't see engine oil thrown out or leaking though.
I dont know if the shop drained the intercooler while changing the oil, also I know nothing about its importance to my power loss issue.
The net search manual/states "The engine oil, above the level, can be drawn into the crankcase ventilation system, and enter the atmosphere via the exhaust system". But it does says about damaging the engine/car.
Should I be worried about the damage to the engine? Can someone please help advising me what to do?
The shop is closed till Tuesday, and I have to drive the car during this weekend, but I am nervous. I dont have much clue about oil change, more than the grades of oil.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/3/2014 (1207 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If you like shoveling, this is the weather for you.
On top of a few centimetres of snow from yesterday, Environment Canada is calling for at least a couple more to fall today. At least the temperature is starting to warm up.
There's a good chance of flurries this morning and early this afternoon, as temperatures rise slightly to a high of -7ºC. More snow will fall later this afternoon, with about 2 cm expected in this latest band. Winds from the northeast are expected, around 30 km/h.
Tonight, snow should end around midnight, after another 2 cm fall, with winds shifting to come from the north near midnight. The overnight low could get down to -17ºC, with 30 km/h winds pushing the wind chill at times to -26.
Skies should clear tomorrow morning, with a high of -11ºC, followed by even milder temperatures on the weekend.
Saturday should be sunny with a high of -8ºC and Sunday's sunny skies should rise to a high of 0ºC.
Zero is the forecast for Monday as well, although that day should see a mix of sun and cloud.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be mainly sunny, with highs of -3ºC.
The normal high for this time of year is -3ºC; the normal low is -13ºC.
The warmest it's ever been on this date was in 2000, when it was 11ºC. The coldest ever was in 1953, when it dropped to -32.2ºC.

Hi! I have had an atrophy caused by a Kenalog shot in my left buttock. I am very upset and frightened about it. Do you think it will come back on its own? If I get it filled, which filler do you recommend?
I have heard lots of stories about Sculptra forming little lumps and iI don't want to look any worse, would collagen be best? Thank you for your time. I wish I had never had this done although I have had many over the years and this has never happened before.

Pandora, the natural evolution of channel-based entertainment
Used to be, consumers watched mostly broadcast channels. The technology required that the media be broadcast (TV, Radio from terrestrial towers using a lot of spectrum to broadcast analog signals). Consumers like to be programmed. It allows you to sit back.
Then came limited on-demand programming over proprietary cable networks and finally internet-based on demand programming. With the Internet, since multi-cast never really took hold, the "media host" must stream an individual stream to each consumer. It costs essentially the same whether each person is sent the same stream or a completely custom stream.
With the costs the same, you might be tempted to build a full on demand system (hulu, YouTube). But the reality is that the cognitive load is fairly high to have to find all your own media.
Hence, the Pandora answer. Use an algorithm, versus a program director, to program an individual stream for each consumer. The bandwidth and compute costs are about the same and development of the algorithm and software is a fixed expense that you can amortize across all the viewers or eyeballs.
Pandora has literally replaced the traditional Network Program Director with a computer! But rather than the program director needing to figure out the best compromise to entertain the market segment he holds, the algorithm can program each consumer individually.
Truth is, while on-demand is fun at times, for music, most people prefer a lean-back passive experience most of the time. Pandora hence makes perfect sense.
It is likely that long form TV will go the same way. I mostly liked watching the shows that I choose, but discovering new content requires that I be programmed to some extent. Given that you watch TV for 30 minutes at a time, it won't just be a sit-back stream like Pandora, but instead an amazing recommendation engine that will be able to show me any piece of professional content based on what they believe I would enjoy.
Tivo attempted this, but I never found its recommendations very compelling. Plus Tivo is simply too expensive for most people to use. Maybe it needs to be more like Amazon: Viewers who watched this also watched this. TV first needs to go over to be delivered entirely by IP. Maybe Boxee can be this software.
In any event, it is interesting how the changing technology from broadcast to packet-based IP made the evolution of custom channel-based programming possible and cost effective.

Commtouch Sets the Stage for Renewed Growth
Ken Nagy, CFA
On August 1, 2012, Commtouch Software Ltd. (CTCH), a cloud-based Internet security provider, reported financial results for its second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012.Commtouch reported mixed second quarter financial results with year over year revenues in line with second quarter 2011 sales.
Second quarter 2012 revenues amounted to $5.671 million compared to $5.696 million for the comparable quarter of 2011.
Still, second quarter 2012 GAAP net income fell $611,000 to $804,000 million from $1.415 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The drop was primarily due to lower gross margin and an increase in total operating expenses during the quarter.
Gross margin fell year over year to 82.1 percent from 83.5 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2011 while total operating expenses increased year over year by $337,000, which equates to 71.2 percent of revenues versus 64.9 percent during the second quarter of 2011.
Based on a weighted average number of diluted common shares of 25.291 million, GAAP diluted net income per share resulted in $0.03 per share for the second quarter fiscal 2012. This compares to diluted net income per share of $0.06 on a weighted average number of diluted shares of 24.554 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2012 fell year over year by $262,000 to $1.309 million and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2011 were down slightly at $0.05 compared to $0.06 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, year over year revenues improved by $356,000 to $11.567 million from $11.211 million for the first half of fiscal 2011.
Still, GAAP net income for the six months fell by $423,000 year over year to $2.013 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This compares to $2.436 million for the comparable six months ended June 30, 2011.
Here again, the year over year drop in net income was a primarily a result of slightly lower gross margin and increased total operating expenses.
Gross margin for the six months fell to 82.1 percent compared to gross margin of 82.6 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2011 while total operating expenses increased year over year by $549,000, which equates to 67.3 percent of revenues versus 64.5 percent during the first half of 2011.
Based on a weighted average number of diluted shares of 25.054 million shares, diluted net income per share resulted in net income of $0.08 per diluted share during the first six months of fiscal 2012. This compared to a diluted net income per share of $0.10 on a weighted average number of diluted shares of 24.653 million shares during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first six months of 2012 dropped year over year by $62,000 to $2.895 million and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the first six months of 2012 was steady at $0.12 compared to $0.12 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Commtouch's balance sheet continued to remain strong.
Although cash and equivalents dropped sequentially by $2.215 million to $19.823 million, working capital improved sequentially by $969,000 to $20.168 million for the period ended June 30, 2012. This compares to cash and equivalents of $22.038 million and working capital of $19.199 million for the first quarter 2012.
Additionally, operating cash flow for the second quarter fiscal 2012 was $1.4 million compared to $1.9 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.
Commtouch's global sales and marketing infrastructure have now begun to yield impressive results and have set the stage for renewed revenue growth.
The Company's global sales team delivered its strongest quarter of new business wins in more than two years with new multi-year contracts consisting of both new customers as well as up sell contracts with current Commtouch customers.
The combined value of these second quarter contract signings is forecasted to represent approximately 5% annual revenue growth based on full year 2011 revenues and are expected to begin coming online and ramp and start to positively impacting Company revenues in the second half of 2012 and 2013.
Similarly, Commtouch's reported that its launch of new offerings continues to be on track, including enhanced mobile antivirus support, a new advanced persistent threat offering later this year, and its next generation cloud-based 'security as a service' offerings targeted for rollout in early 2013.
However, based on the Company's first half revenues and the anticipated ramp of recent contract wins, the company lowered its full year guidance to increase between 2% and 6% over full year 2011 levels. This compares to previous guidance of double digit revenue growth for its full year 2012 over 2011 heights.
Still, management continues to focus on internal cost efficiency measures while simultaneously executing on its previously announced strategy of making a higher level of investment in the areas of research and development, sales, and marketing to support the development and deployment of its next generation solutions.
As a result, Commtouch continues to expect non-GAAP net income for the full year 2012 to be at, or above its previous guidance, $5.0 million.
Still, it should be noted that this business outlook includes a minimal contribution from the pending acquisition of the antivirus business of FRISK.
This morning, Commtouch also announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Iceland-based FRISK Software International's antivirus business. The acquisition will allow Commtouch to utilize FRISK's staff and IP to dramatically accelerate its launch of white label antivirus solutions for the OEM market as well as provide more services and applications.
The acquisition is currently anticipated to close in the third quarter of 2012.
Finally, In May 2012, Commtouch announced the authorized initiation of a stock repurchase program of the Company's ordinary shares in the open market, in an amount in cash of up to $2.5 million.
As of June 30, 2012, The Company had repurchased approximately 198,000 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $0.6 million.

Art Melbourne
You'd be living under a rock if you didn't know Art Melbourne is happening this weekend in Melbourne. Once billed as the 'affordable art fair', Art Melbourne brings together nearly 100 galleries and a vast number of Australian artists under one roof at the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It's always a varied and eclectic event, and whilst I'll admit 'affordable' is a somewhat subjective term(!), it's always good for a sticky beak – even if you're not in the market!
This year Melbourne's award-winning Art Series Hotels are playing a key role in the event, creating their very own themed lounge on site at the Royal Exhibition Building. Styled with furniture and artwork from each of the three hotels, this space will serve as a relaxing spot for visitors to rest, mingle, and learn a little more about each hotel's namesake artist – John Olsen, Adam Cullen and Charles Blackman. Here, Art Series Hotels' in-house curator Jane O'Neill will also give a series of entertaining and informative talks entitled 'Tasty Chats'! On Friday night, celebrate the end of the week with wine and cheese as you listen to Jane's presentation on John Olsen, on Saturday morning tuck into cupcakes and bubbles as you learn about Charles Blackman, OR soak up that Sunday hangover with a Bloody Mary as you take in tales of Adam Cullen's grunge influences (very fitting!).
The Art Series 'Tasty Chats' talks are FREE but tickets to Art Melbourne do cost $20.00… however we have 5 x Art Melbourne double passes to give away AND as an extra treat, Art Series Hotels have also offered an overnight stay at any of their hotels for one lucky TDF reader! (to be used at any time not just for this weekend!). Ooooh what a lovely mini mid-winter getaway!
The Blackman Hotel on st Kilda rd – love those bikes!
To be in the running to win one of 5 double-passes to Art Melbourne AND/OR a night's stay at any of Melbournes' Art Series Hotels, simply leave a comment on this post TODAY, Tuesday May 17th by 10.00pm Melbourne time! 5 winners will be selected at random and contacted by email tomorrow. *please note accommodation is for one night in a studio suite at either The Olsen, The Cullen or The Blackman Hotels, subject to availability, not available during special events, not transferable, offer valid for 6 months. Phew!
*UPDATE thanks so much for all your entries! The winners have just been drawn!
Winner of 1 x doublepass to Art Melbourne AND A night at any Art Series Hotel – Lyn Cole with comment #188!
Winners of 4 x doublepasses to Art Melbourne are as follows – Miranda E with comment #65, Marianela with comment #117, Suzie with comment #144, Caro with comment #17!

About Me
- About Krazzikk
- Biography
- Hello!
I like to think I'm a pretty easy going dude. I try to be the best person I can be, through humility and compassion for other people.
My hobbies include
-Video games (although I don't play Pokemon very much any more)
Music is a really big passion, and aspiration of mine, although it's also my only real passion I've ever had. I've been playing trombone for 3 years, now back when I joined band in my middle school in 6th grade.Then when my older brother gave me his guitar, I fell in love with it and I've been playing pretty much everyday since I got it about a year ago. I also know a little bit of piano, but it's just come from having a well-rounded knowledge of music and practicing once in a bluemoon.
I hope to study music of some sort in college, whether it be performing arts, or something like music education, but I would like to eventually become a music teacher, music therapist, or a musician if i happen to find the perfect people to make music with.
That's all I'll write for now,
I love making new friends (especially if you're the good kind of friend) so feel free to leave me a VM and we can start conversing...or whatever it is humans do to communicate interest in other humans.

ok - Maybe I should clarify. I'm putting together a "teaching" situation, and I need to explain what a two stage trigger is. I have an AR-15 that is single stage, and I thought I could use the beretta 96 as an example of a two stage trigger.
Also in my earlier post I meant to say that there is a small amount of play before the trigger stops and you know any more force will engage the hammer - and the gun fires.
I have emailed beretta tech support - no reply yet - I'd appreciate it if someone could verify this for me.

Just installed new 90+ furnace and 2 1/2 ton, 14 SEER A/C. System does not pull enough moisture out. Humidity in house at 71% @ 75*F. Outside 48% @ 76*F. Same story at 85% and 80*F. What's the story? What's the fix?
Pressure checked out fine.
Sounds as if the 2 1/2 ton a/c Should have been Smaller. Too much cooling capacity will cause this exact problem.
Did you have a load calculation done? If not chances are the equipment is too big as mentioned before.
Previous 2 1/2 ton unit worked fine. New 2 1/2 ton, 14SEER seems to not remove humidity.
Previous 2 1/2 ton needed longer run times due to being inefficient. Newer system is more efficient and less run time. Shoulda had a load calc done before you bought =( .

After UN Vindication, Some HPers Blame Israel Anyway

Well.... you can always try anyway and just ignore the evidence. After all, Israel is guilty and no amount of facts will convince the anti-Zios to reconsider their position.ReplyDelete
For people for whom their ideology matters more than the truth will always choose the former in the event there is a conflict.
As is indeed the case with the UN's rare confirmation that Israel's version of events was correct.

"Glee's" Harry Shum, Jr., has signed on to play the role of "Frank" in the directorial debut of Academy Award-winning special effects designer Tom Woodruff, Jr., a supernatural thriller called Fire City: The Interpreter of Signs.
The film centers around a fragile balance that exists between humankind and the demons who secretly live among them and the crisis for all when this balance is broken.
Shum plays an abusive alcoholic boyfriend who suddenly transforms into a caring and loving person, along with the rest of the humans in his seedy tenement building. Dependent on human misery for survival, the demons in the building begin to starve.
Writer-producers Brian Lubocki and Michael Hayes successfully funded a Kickstarter campaign for the film in August 2013 and will go into production this month. Shum is repped by Innovative.

Hurdle: It's on Everybody to be a Better Base Runner
Spring Training Coverage
BRADENTON, Fla. -- During the Pirates 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins at McKechnie Field on Saturday, speedy outfielder Nate McLouth was caught attempting to swipe two bases. So far this spring McLouth is 0-for-3 in stolen base attempts, but Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle wants his players to continue to be aggressive on the bases.
"One time he was safe," Hurdle said. "That's two butchered calls on Nate McLouth in the last two games he's been in. When you slide and you're standing up, you get called out. You can call it what you want, he's safe. He was safe in Clearwater. The other time it was a pitch out."
"Guys are going to get caught. We're going to be aggressive and we're going to run. We need to get our there and see what we can do on the bases. I'm very happy with our effort on t...

By J. Henderson
This is the scene I literally ran home from Jordan-Hare in time to see.
John Elway, Jr., jubilant, sweaty, charging the man-pile of jugular-speared victory, one throw, first down, touchdown victory, adding himself, another cell, growing the organism, the tumor if you will. Celebrant after celebrant, the tumor inside the Vishnu of Sabania grows and doubles and triples upon itself. The news is shocking.
Diagnosis: mortal. How long doctor? How long until number 13? We were supposed to be married in January, we were going to have kids…
Girls cry in the stands. Men rage, angry at the universe, their breath wet and stupid. They were never supposed to lose again. Ever. Arkansas proved that.
And then comes the debris.
They hurl and heave and expel their disillusionment in the angry toddler mode of cups, ice, nachos and the more statutory and deadly whiskey bottles. No they scream, no!!! Saban yesterday, Saban now, Saban tomorrow, Saban forever!!! Hail Saban, Hail Saban, Hail Saban!!
One of Finebaum's first callers yesterday, an Alabama fan, announced that this technical criminality was actually a statement and display of Crimson solidarity, or "showing the world that we don't take losing lightly."
Another Bammer called to scold him. And good for him. But he added:
"I know what all the Auburn fans out there are thinking, that's just Alabama, but no Paul, it's not…"
Yes, it is. In fact, Saturday's game against Georgia marks the second game in six in which Sabanabama fans have drawn national attention for attempting to injure their team's victorious opponents. (Auburn players were likewise pelted after defeating the Saban Tide for the 5th straight time last year in Tuscaloosa.) Other people called, all present in Bryant-Denny, one reporting a bizarre flurry of racial slurs coming from the Alabama student section and directed at the Georgia players as they warmed up – maybe it happened, maybe it didn't, another describing a sign hung outside a fraternity house across from the stadium which read: "Like Michael Vick we're going to kill the Dawgs." The throwing, the maybe slurs, the signs – these are not Crimson Neck sidewalk alumni. These are students. This is Sabanbama football.
This is a complete break from reality.
Here is a quote from Tuesday's Paul Finebaum show, from a regular caller irate at Saban for not benching John Parker Wilson during Saturday's game:
Caller: "I keep trying allude to this other coach we had [Bryant], I hate to keep going back to him, but I guarantee he would have made a [quarterback] change by now."
Finebaum: "And what coach is that?"
Caller: "Well, he's [Bryant] the one who was coaching thirty years ago, twenty five years ago… before the goobers got into it and finally Coach Saban got here and kinda saved us…"
3 wins, 1 loss. Losing record to Auburn, to UAB. "Kinda saved us." Desperation. Dementia. $ABAN.
A headline in the Sunday "Huntsville Times" read: "Miracles Suddenly Cease for Tide." Miracles?
What is wrong with these people? Did you see their faces? What is wrong with them? They thought they were going to win it all – the SEC, the National Championship. They think that Nick Saban is some $4,000,000 magic angel. Their coeds decorate their bosoms not to spell out the name of a player or even the name of the team – they paint S-A-B-A-N.
3 wins, 1 loss, S-A-B-A-N. Losing record to Auburn, to UAB, S-A-B-A-N.
Best theory currently going around as to the inspiration behind Mike Patrick's seemingly random reference to Britney Spears current train wreck of an existence during the UA / UGA broadcast? An audience pan that captured "the Bama Twins". Unconfirmed, but believable.
They are the Sabanation. They have printed the shirts. They wear them. They are proud. They are no longer the University of Alabama, they are the University of Saban, and they are proud. Sabanabama. The Crimson Saban. Roll Saban. Hail Saban. XSabanX. Saban on a cross. Saban lives in our hearts. What Would Saban Saban?
How can they be this way?
How can citizens of Tuscaloosa breathe for all the desperate, pathetic irony they have shoved down their own throats trying to fill the empty belly of their lives? As Auburn fans, we've marveled at this for years, but now more than ever.
I want to find out. And so I hereby announce plans to expose and examine the capital I irony that is Crimson Saban football in an upcoming series called "And it is called Bamah." Or maybe just one post. Something. It will take some time but will hopefully be worth it.
Thank you John Elway, Jr — for now.
