फीमेल कंडोम को महिलाओं के शशक्तिकरण के रूप में देखा जाए तो गलत नहीं। और यह अंतराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर पिछले 20 सालों से पाया जा रहा है। फीमेल कंडोम महिलाओं को न केवल शक्ति देता है, अपने को सुरक्षित रखें सेक्स करते समय किसी भी प्रकार के अनावश्यक परेशानियों से बचने की, बल्कि यह महिलाओं को आज़ादी भी देता है उस स्थिति से की उनके पुरुष साथी कंडोम पहनेंगे तभी वे सुरक्षित सेक्स कर पाएंगी। केवल भारत में ही लिया जाए तो सालाना पुरुषों के 150 करोड़ कंडोम के मुकाबले केवलं 30 लाख फीमेल कंडोम बनाए जाता है।
इस तरह दोनों तरह के कंडोम के उत्पाद के बीच इतना बड़ा अंतर ही साबित करता है कि, हममें से कई लोग इस फीमेल कंडोम के बारे में या तो जानते ही नहीं और जो लोग जानते हैं वे इस्तेमाल नही करते। जिसके कई कारण हो सकते हैं जैसे कि पिछड़ी सोच होना, साथी को नापसंद होना, हर जगह पर उपलब्ध ना होना। फीमेल कंडोम का दाम भी इसके कम इस्तेमाल होने का की एक अहम वजह हो सकती है, क्योंकि जहाँ पुरुषों का कंडोम 25 रुपये में 3 आते हैं वहीं स्त्रियों का कंडोम 100 रुपये में 3 आते है। इसीलिए कुछ कंपनियां इसका मूल्य लगभग 50% घटाने के बारे में सोच रही हैं, ताकि फीमेल कंडोम का ज्यादा से ज्यादा इस्तेमाल किया जा सके। तो अब हम जानते हैं फीमेल कंडोम क्या है और इसके क्या क्या फायदे है।
क्या है फीमेल कंडोम
फीमेल कंडोम क्यों करे इस्तेमाल
- फीमेल कंडोम न सिर्फ उन महिलाओं के लिए फायदेमंद है, जो अपने साथी पुरुष का कंडोम पहनना पसंद नहीं करती बल्कि उन महिलाओं के लिए भी कारगर है, जिनकी योनि में सुखापन ज्यादा होता है या कहे कि लुब्रिकेशन कम होता है, जो सेक्स करते समय दर्द का एहसास करती है। यह अक्सर मेनोपॉज़ के दौरान या उसके बाद होता है, तो ऐसे में फीमेल कंडोम इस्तेमाल करना फायदेमंद हो सकता है।
- जो महिला बच्चे को जन्म देने के बाद ऑपरेशन करवा लेती हैं यूटेरस निकालने का उन महिलाओं को भी नेचुरल लुब्रिकेशन की कमी हो सकती है तो ऐसी स्तिथि में स्वक्स के दौरान फीमेल कंडोम का इस्तेमाल करना काफी बेहतर है।
- कुछ महिलाओं को पुरुषों के कंडोम में मौजूद लैटेक्स से एलर्जी होती है तो ऐसी महिलाओं के लिए फीमेल कंडोम फायदेमंद होता है क्योंकि फीमेल कंडोम में लैटेक्स नही होता।
- कुछ महिलाएं नासाज तबियत की वजह से गर्भ निरोधक दवाइयां नही ले पाती, ऐसी महिलाओं के लिए फीमेल कंडोम बेहद लाभदायक होता है।
- जिन महिलाओं को मासिक धर्म के दौरान सेक्स करने का मन होता है उसके लिए भी फीमेल कंडोम फायदेमंद होता है क्योंकि वह सेक्स करते समय योनि से खून को बाहर आने से रोकता है।
कैसे पहने फीमेल कंडोम
- कुछ लोगो का मानना है कि फीमेल कंडोम का इस्तेमाल करना मुश्किल है। यह सच है पर धीरे-धीरे प्रैक्टिस करने से यह आसान लगने लगता है। और सही तरीके से इसको पहनना जरूरी है। महिला इसको पहनने के लिए नीचे लेटके अपने पैरों को फैला के किसी अच्छे लुब्रीकेंट जैसे कि तेल, क्रीम इत्यादि का इस्तेमाल करके धीरे-धीरे कंडोम को अपने योनि के अंदर डालें। लुब्रीकेंट का इस्तेमाल करने से इसको योनि के अंदर डालना आसान हो जाता है।
- कंडोम को जितना अंदर तक डालना चाहे डाल सकते है पर ध्यान रहे कि यह अंदर से मुड़े ना।
- यदि महिला कंडोम का इस्तेमाल कर रही है तो ध्यान रहे कि पुरुष कंडोम न पहनें। ऐसा करने से कंडोम का फटना संभव होता है।
- यदि सेक्स करते समय यह बाहर निकल जाता है तो उसे दोबारा अंदर न डाले बल्कि नए कंडोम का इस्तेमाल करें और इस्तेमाल करने के बाद इससे तुरन्त अपने योनि से निकाल दें।
फीमेल कंडोम पहनने का नुकसान
- जैसा कि आपने देखा कि फीमेल कंडोम के कई फायदे होतें है परंतु इसके कुछ नुकसान भी है जो जानना जरूरी है। फीमेल कंडोम में 2 रिंग होते है दोनों छोर पर, और जो रिंग योनि के अंदर जाता है वह सेक्स करते दौरान तकलीफ देह हो सकता है। जो रिंग महिला के योनि के बाहर होता है वह महिला का ध्यान वही पे केंद्रित करके रखता है जिससे वह सेक्स का मज़ा नही ले पाती।
- फीमेल कंडोम 100% सुरक्षित नही होता। इसे 95% सुरक्षित माना जाता है परंतु 5% मौका होता है इसके नाकाम होने का।
- कुछ लोगो का कहना है कि सेक्स करते समय यह बहुत आवाज़ करता है जो उनका ध्यान भटका देता है। पर कोई बात नहीं अच्छे लुब्रिकरेंट के इस्तेम से इसे रोका जा सकता है।
- तो दोस्तो फीमेल कंडोम से संबंधित इन सभी बातों को जानने के बाद अंत मे यही कह सकते है कि यह एक अच्छा विकल्प है गर्भ निरोध का, जो मज़ा भी देता है तो दर्द भी। इसे एक बार इस्तेमाल जरूर करके देखें।
My husband iz 24 years old v r planning for baby but my husband iz a frequent smoker wil it cause any problem to get me pregnant.
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex is a genetic disorder that results in the skin turning fragile and blister prone. Any small injury or friction created due to rubbing of the skin might lead to blister formation. In some cases, blisters may occur inside the mouth and on the cheeks. Normally, the cause of the disease is linked to defective genes.The condition is usually inherited and the symptoms start flaring in childhood. In some cases, the symptoms start during the early twenties.
The symptoms of this disease are:
- Deformities in the nails of the toes and fingers.
- Blisters in the internal organs such as esophagus and vocal chords.
- Formation of blisters on the skin of the feet and the hands.
- Loss of hair and scarring of the scalp.
- Thickening of the skin on the palms and soles of the feet.
- Formation of white skin bumps on the skin.
- You may experience various dental problems such as tooth decay.
- You may have problems in swallowing food.
Epidermolysis bullosa can be classified into:
- Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa: This is a severe form of epidermolysis bullosa that usually develops during birth. The condition is characterized by hoarse and unusual crying sounds and scarring in the vocal chords. The genes that attach the epidermis to the basement become defective and thus, cause blister formation.
- Kindler Syndrome: This type is characterized by blister formation across all layers of the skin, but its symptoms tend to disappear with time. This condition is known to cause discoloration of the skin when exposed to the sun.
- Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa: This is caused by a defect in the gene that causes problems in collagen formation. This results in complications as the skin doesn't join properly.
This disease may cause various complications such as sepsis, skin infection, anemia, constipation and dehydration. An infant, who has a severe form of epidermolysis bullosa, may not be able to survive due to widespread blistering and infections that may drain all the body fluids out drastically.
A stressful life and an unhealthy lifestyle impacts not only our physical health, but also our mental health. There are some instances now that have proved that most cases of mental illness such as depression, anxiety, and stress, happen due to an unhealthy lifestyle.
Though in an extreme condition, you may need the help of a professional expert, there are many ways through which you can keep your physical, as well as mental health, in check.
Proper Diet
Food is the most important ingredient of a healthy body and mind. Today, many physical ailments take place due to a wrong diet and unhealthy food habits. Some of the most common mistakes that people make these days are:
- Skipping important meals such as breakfast,
- Not consuming a balanced diet,
- Depending more upon junk food items rather than healthy food items.
It's always best to consume lots of green vegetables and fresh fruits. The vitamins and minerals available in a balanced diet are very important to keep you away from health issues. Also, green vegetables such as spinach help in oxidizing the blood that reaches your brain and help in proper working of the brain cells.
Along with consuming proper and balanced diet, it is also important to provide a proper amount of workout session to both the body and mind.
Today, some people rely on gym instruments inside the four enclosed walls of a room. This may help you in getting a well-toned and fit body, but may not benefit your mind.
If you wish to keep your mind away from problems such as tiredness and stress, then it is important to inhale some fresh air at least once a day. A good way is to go for some exercises such as walking, jogging, cycling and others in open air for some time. The fresh and open air, along with exposure to greenery, refreshes your mind and hence controls the release of anxiety toxins in the brain.
Proper Schedule
After proper diet and exercise, what is most important is relaxation. If you are working the whole day and you do not have time for relaxation, the tiredness will make you fall sick. Some useful tips are:
- Sleeping at least 8 hours a day,
- Practicing meditation in case of extreme stress,
- Taking out some time from a busy schedule in doing activities you love to do, such as playing music, or reading books.
Thus, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle not only to keep your body fit and healthy but also to keep your mind healthy and free from anxiety and stress.

Puberty brings hormonal changes which affect the body in a number of ways and the skin is one of the main affected organs. While acne is the more common issue, there are also other lesser known skin lesions, which can bother teenagers. The less common trichoepithelioma is one such disease.
In this health condition, multiple hair follicle tumors are seen on the face after attainment of puberty. These are benign, but not very common. They form small hair shafts, but do not develop into full fledged hair follicles. While the exact cause of these lesions is not identified, they are related to a syndrome called Brooke-Spielger Syndrome. There is also a genetic component where the CYLD gene is affected, and the proteins required for self-protection of the skin are missing. There is also a theory which states this condition to be an autosomal dominant condition. In such a scenario, multiple lesions are seen, and it is also the most common variant of the disease.
The lesions are small, less than 1 cm, isolated, firm, round, and shiny. Their color can vary from brown, to blue, yellow, or pink. The face is first affected, starting from the cheeks, and then slowly moving to the eyelids, and the nose. Multiple lesions are easier to diagnose, while individual lesions can be confused with basal cell carcinoma. The lesions grow very slowly and when multiple lesions are present, they can cause aesthetic concerns. There could be ulceration and recurrence in these patients. The genetically correlated ones have a higher incidence of aggressive behavior both in terms of severity of the lesions and the rate of recurrence.
Treatment: Though they are benign, aesthetic concerns may mandate treatment. The treatment is usually multipronged and includes the following genetic counseling, drug therapy (mostly topical creams and lotions), and minor invasive procedures.
- The best solution is to let them run their natural course, as they usually subside with age, both in terms of numbers and the severity of the lesions.
- Dermabrasion or carbon dioxide laser is useful in improving facial appearance too.
- In more severe cases, surgical removal may be done, which is partial and does not cover the entire depth of the lesion.
- However, in some cases, if there is a concern for malignancy, the lesions are completely excised (excision biopsy) and then sent for biopsy to confirm their benign nature.
Trichoepithelioma is also known by the name hereditary multiple benign cystic epithelioma, which explains the nature of the disease quite well. Other than cosmetic concerns, more so because if affects females, these are harmless in nature. But a detailed discussion with your dermatologist is suggested to confirm the state of the condition.

One of the crucial types of surgery is the heart surgery, which is commonly known as the bypass. It is a type of surgery in which the chest is cut, and surgery is done on valves, muscles, and heart arteries. As per the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, it is one of the most common types of surgeries, which is performed on adults. During this surgery, the prime focus is to remove the blockage from the heart so that fresh blood can easily flow into the heart. No doubt that this process is critical, but it is easily true that after the surgery you have to take extra care of yourself.
Talking of which, here are certain things that you can expect after the surgery.
- Moved To ICU: The moment, the surgery is done, you will be moved to the Intensive Care Unit where the person's health conditions will be monitored, vital signs will be checked, and medical professional will frequently visit to make sure that the patient is just doing fine. Once the surgery is over, you may not wake up quickly, but you will continue to breathe through the breathing tube. About food, of course, you will not be allowed to take solid food, but there is an intravenous (IV) needle will be put in a blood vessel in your chest and arm from which you will be given fluids.
- Recovery At Home: Once you are given the discharge, your focus should be to get recovered quickly. Recovery at home entirely depends on the heart problem for which the surgery was done. Of course, the doctor will give you necessary instructions with regards to healing incision, dealing with after effect is and understanding the signs of complications. Follow up the medicines and attend the appointments as advised to keep track of your health condition. You may face some after effects such as appetite loss, constipation and sleeping problem. If there is any complication, make sure you speak with a doctor about the same immediately.
- Ongoing Care Is Important Too: Once the surgery is over, as said, you will have to go for frequent checkup with your doctor. During these visits, your doctor will tell you to get blood, stress test and electrocardiogram done, which will assess the working condition of the heart. You might also be given few blood-thinning medicine and bring certain changes in lifestyle and medicine.
There are certain phases of recovery which will take time eventually. The first phase is the lengthy one that can last for around 6-8 weeks. Once you get a discharge from the hospital, you will be given instructions that you must follow with good care. This will pace up the healing process and make the process better. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Cardiologist.
As much as we take a dip in the bucket of blues and sing happy- sad songs to flout and fall for the theorem of love; we are but orderlies to the emotion. We all wish if love had only been a four letter word. It unfortunately has multiple folds and crevices than the human mind can ever possibly think of. Nonetheless, staying in love is essential. Loving is as significant as is living; the reason being, it keeps you happy until you falter and with every faltering foothold, you emerge out as a stronger being.
A strange fact about the emotion is its tryst with wholeness. Love doesn't necessarily need an object or receptor under its radar. It could be experienced as a self - sufficient feeling. You may be full of love for a family, for a dear friend, for your lover or you could also be in love with your passion or yourself. Irrespective of perpetual disillusionment, one must try and remain in love.
Let's take a curious peek into these few ways to stay in love:
- Put in effort to look good: In any case, 'beauty indeed lies in the eyes of the beholder', but finding yourself pretty is extremely important. One must take care to look good in his or her own eyes. Looking good is directly proportional to the way you feel and hence spending time on yourself helps you to think positively. You see yourself in better light and are thus, in a position to love better.
- Exercise to challenge your daily threshold: Exercising has multi - faceted effects on your overall health. If you exercise on daily basis, you witness your progress with every passing day. This encourages you to improve your flexibility and fitness. Exercising can lead to the release of the happy hormone - serotonin in one's body. Direct exposure to sunlight and consumption of food items rich in carbohydrates can also increase the level of serotonin. Exercising boosts up your confidence and makes you fall in love with your body.
- Indulge in sweet nothings: As you grow up, you stop doing those little things that once gave you immense pleasure. Making a greetings card, baking a cake, making paper boats, going out on walks, teaching young children or doing whatever your heart feels like can actually make you stay in love.
- Pursue your passion: A passion gets the best out of you; it rather steps up the limits of your talents. Pursuing one's passion makes one love oneself even more. It keeps you engrossed in your plus points, giving you little scope to brood over depressing factors.
- Try having a pet to care for: Feeling responsible for your pet is a great way to discover another side of your personality. A pet gives you the warmth you had been looking for. The bond of love with a pet has had unmatched effects on a person's health. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Sexologist.

An essential prerequisite for good health is having regular bowel movements. People all over the world have a misconception about the regularity of bowel movements. Having bowel movements three times a day or three times a week (if that is the routine) is considered regular. Irregularity in bowel movements can often lead to constipation and it is something that should never be ignored. It not only affects our health but also affect our overall being in ways that are unexpected. Let us take a look at some of these unexpected side effects of not pooping regularly:
- Constipation can trigger headaches: The cause for a headache can be many things, but the first likely reason is stress. When you do not poop properly, the pain, inconvenience and worry will build up, leading to mental stress. This anxiety can trigger headaches. Also, headache can occur because of dehydration, which is often a result of constipation. By drinking more water, you can get a relief from both constipation and headaches. Moreover, the buildup of toxins in the body also causes a headache. regular is a key channel that releases all the toxins from the body and when that does not work, it is bound to cause problems.
- It can cause breakouts: What happens in and out the gut shows up on the skin. Skin conditions like acne, pimple, dark circles and even rashes can occur due to internal gut and digestive issues. When the toxins are not eliminated regularly from the body, they tend to accumulate over time leading to major skin breakouts.
- It carries a risk of anal fissures: Due to hardened stool, there is not enough lubrication and this can lead to a tear of the skin. This is called an anal fissure and the prime symptom of this condition is the presence of blood in your stool. So, if you feel pain or see blood while pooping, you need to contact your healthcare provider and relieve your condition.
- It may cause Diverticula or Heamerhoids: Long term constipation can lead to certain ailments which tend to form because of the pressure of straining to pass your poop. You can be affected with diverticula which result in bulges or pouches on the lining of the colon area. Or it can also cause a strain in the veins along the rectum and lead to
- It affects your Bladder control: The colon and the bladder share a close relationship with each other. If there is too much pressure on the bladder because of a full colon, it can lead to decreased control of the bladder. Your bladder will not fill all the way, empty badly or cause unexpected leakages. So, chronic constipation can cause apparent leakage problems too.
- It can make you lose appetite: Eating food can be a major turn off for people with constipation. Appetite loss is not just an enjoyable form of hunger suppression, but a big inconvenience.

Eggs are a common food, which are also incredibly nutritious as well. There are a number of important nutrients in it including vitamins A, B2, B5, B6, B12, D, E and K as well as folate, phosphorous, selenium, calcium and zinc. All of these are contained within just one boiled egg, which also contains 6 grams of protein as well as 5 grams of healthy fats. Not only do you get all of these nutrients with just one boiled egg, it's calorie count is pretty healthy as well.
Here are the health benefits which all of these nutrients give:
- Eggs do not raise blood cholesterol: It is true that when you eat eggs, cholesterol enters your body. However, eggs also give a signal for the liver to stop producing the cholesterol it usually produces. The increase in the intake of cholesterol compensates for the decrease in the cholesterol produced by the liver and therefore keeps the blood cholesterol levels constant.
- Eggs have choline: Choline is an incredibly important nutrient for your body. This is because it helps build cell membranes and is also crucial when it comes to the production of certain signalling molecules in the brain. A single egg has about 100 milligrams of this nutrient and therefore is one of the best sources of it.
- Eggs are good for your eye: Eggs have two very important nutrients for your eyes. These are Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These nutrients stop degenerative processes from occurring in the eye.
- Eggs have high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids: Eggs that are boiled have a high level of Omega-3 fatty acids in them. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for reducing the chances of you suffering from heart disease due to the fact that it reduces your triglyceride levels.
- Eggs are an excellent source of protein: This is the biggest reason to eat eggs. Eating eggs helps you to lose weight, optimizing bone health and lowering blood pressure.
- Egg may reduce the risk of stroke: Studies have shown that eggs are not only good for your heart, but they also reduce the likelihood of suffering from a stroke. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a General Physician.
The nasal septum divides the nose into two nostrils or airways. When this septum is defective in structure or position, it can cause several physical difficulties like breathing problems, sleep apnea, bleeding, sinusitis, etc. The surgery to correct the nasal septum is known as septoplasty. The surgery is very common and has a high rate of success.
Reason: When the bone and cartilage separating the two chambers is crooked and deformed, it prevents the air from flowing properly through either one of the nostrils. People suffering from this condition often breathe through their mouth and this leads to respiratory tract problems. So, the septum is fixed with the help of septoplasty.
First, your medical history is taken. A thorough physical examination and endoscopy is conducted and the nose is photographed from the inside and the outside. You may also be asked to avoid medication like ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin for a few days since these can increase the bleeding after surgery.
Septoplasty is performed under general or localized anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. Incisions are made on the inside of the nose and the mucus membrane is lifted.
Then, the pieces of cartilage that are affecting normal functioning are repositioned or removed.
If the nasal bone is causing the septum to be wrongly aligned, then cuts are made on the bone and it is positioned correctly.
Sometimes, cartilage grafts (called spreader grafts) are put in between the upper nose cartilage and the septum to widen the narrow nostril.
After this, the mucus membrane is put back in place and stitched.
Post- surgical care: A nasal support or packs are put inside the nose to help it heal and keep it straight. The support is removed after two days but there may be swelling and occasional nasal discharge for a few days. The tissues and cartilage become stable within 4 to 6 months. You are asked not to blow your nose or cough and sneeze too much as these might displace the nasal support. The head is to be kept at a higher level than the rest of the body while sleeping and physically demanding exercises are to be avoided in order to prevent nosebleeds. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an Ent Specialist.
Ovarian cysts is a common problem that affects women in their childbearing years. These cysts develop inside the ovaries at the time of ovulation.
These cysts are of four main types:
Polycystic ovaries
Dermoid cysts
In most cases, ovarian cysts resolve themselves, but in some cases they can cause pain and grow.
Ayurveda is a holistic form of alternate medication that can be quite effective when it comes to treating ovarian cysts. This form of medication has negligible side effects and hence, can be prescribed to women of all ages. Apart from medication, Ayurveda also involves changes in lifestyle and diet. Ayurvedic herbs help balance the hormones in a woman's body and thereby improve the overall functioning of the ovaries as well.
Some of the Ayurvedic herbs used in the treatment of ovarian cysts are as follows:
Guggul: This herb has the potential to revitalise cells and can rejuvenate a person. Guggul or commiphora mukul also has purifying properties that helps regulate lipid production and increase iron levels in a person's blood. It also helps in weight loss and increases metabolism.
Shilajit: The Ayurvedic herb asphaltum or shilajit improves stamina and the ability to deal with physical and mental stress. It is also known to increase sexual desire and enhance libido for both men and women.
Amalaki: Amalaki or emblica officinalis is best known for its ability to rejuvenate cells and rid the body of free radicals. It also helps boost immunity, aids in the development of healthy skin and slows down the aging process. Amalaki helps with digestion and boosts metabolism along with maintaining the proper functioning of the liver.
Aloe: Aloe is the most common Ayurvedic product used for skin care and anti-ageing products. Apart from skincare and hair care, aloe also helps relieve hypertension and has well known antioxidant properties. Additionally, it helps deal with high blood pressure and respiratory problems.
Vitamins and minerals: Some vitamins and minerals boost immunity and have the ability to destroy abnormal cells such as cysts. Zinc helps prevent ovarian cysts, helps the body get rid of free radicals and aids in normal cell growth. Vitamin B complex helps in converting excessive estrogen into less weaker forms and hence balances hormone levels. Antioxidants like vitamin A and E protect the cells against damage and abnormal changes in the cell growth. Vitamin C also helps boost immunity and gives the body the ability to fight illnesses and infections. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an ayurveda and ask a free question.
Menopause is a tricky problem for women to negotiate. Hot flushes, mood swings, night sweats, sleeplessness, and vaginal dryness are but some of the issues. It's a very similar position to that of puberty whereby the body is out of control and one's emotions follow suite. If a woman going through this time is facing added pressures with family or job she can lose her confidence and sink into a state of depression.
The effect on those around her has a bearing on her moods as they usually fail to understand what is happening to her. In my case the greatest thing was hormone replacement therapy which almost instantly corrected the problems. The brain cleared of its confusion, the other symptoms virtually stopped, and energy levels were restored.
The question many face is how safe is this HRT? Some studies link it to breast cancer and other diseases as a warning against it. But speaking from personal experience the risks of developing is far outweighed by the benefits.
- As opposed to my situation my sister, five years younger, did not take HRT and she had a hysterectomy, which saw the female reproductive organs removed. By the time she was 50 she was diagnosed with the bones of an 80-year-old. She then suffered from osteoporosis with her bones, particularly her ribs, breaking with the slightest pressure.
- On top of that she also has irritable bowel syndrome and other things, such as shingles. Her blood pressure was always low and other problems emerged. Although active and stoic her health went rapidly downhill and she died two years ago of pancreatic cancer at the age of 71. Now one can't say that HRT would have saved her from that but it certainly didn't cause the cancer.
- By way of contrast my body is fit, healthy, strong, with no disease or blood pressure at the age now of 78. My brain is active and productive and most days I attend a gym. My bones are also strong with no sign of osteoporosis. I don't even get headaches or other things most people my age would normally suffer from. I don't even wear glasses.
- While there are great benefits to be had from HRT it is my belief it also preserves the body well into old age. Cancers of the type they proclaim may be associated with it are, in my opinion, not related to it. Breast cancer is common among women of all ages and some die in their twenties from it.
- To be rid of the awful symptoms of menopause is a great achievement by the medical scientists. They have made it possible for many women to remain a productive force in society. My mother who never had the benefits of it suffered and died at the age of 56 years.
- While everyone is different and people have diverse opinions about what is good for their heath my suggestion is to go where your body takes you. Don't be frightened or put off by claims that are as yet unproven.
Do not take medicines for heart disease or high blood pressure without talking to a doctor. This could be dangerous.

Dennis Ritchie Day
Tim O'Reilly admits freely in a recent blog item that he doesn't have the authority that California Gov. Jerry Brown has (and that's OK, Tim — few of us do). A while back, Brown declared Oct. 16 Steve Jobs Day, and while O'Reilly writes that he admires Brown for taking a step to recognize Jobs' extraordinary contributions, he "couldn't help be struck by Rob Pike's comments on the death of Dennis Ritchie a few weeks after Steve Jobs."
Most of us were struck by them, too.
Clearly Dennis Ritchie's contributions in the digital realm far surpass Steve Jobs' vision or marketing acumen. While Jobs made a career of molding people's use of technology and, in the process, garnered him the tech spotlight (for better or worse), Ritchie worked in relative obscurity to bring us the foundation of what we all do today, both in programming and how we use computer hardware, online or off.
So allow me a Captain Obvious moment: We owe a significantly larger debt of gratitude to Dennis Ritchie than we do to Steve Jobs. So with Tim O'Reilly and everyone else who's interested, I'll be celebrating Dennis Ritchie Day tomorrow, Oct. 30, and I would urge you to remember the man who brought you Unix and C.
My SCALE 10X colleague Lori Waltfield points out an interesting page with quotes from Dennis Ritchie (and more quotes here) that may come in handy for tomorrow's observation of Dennis Ritchie Day. Thanks, Lori.

I have read many comments similar to yours comparing Ritchie's and Jobs' contributions, but don't agree that Jobs is so much less significant than Ritchie.
To begin with, I own copies of three books co-written by Ritchie. I am programming in C for a living, and have never run anything but a Unix variant on any system I own. I have never purchased an Apple product.
On the other hand, I'm not sure that IBM would have been inspired to create the original PC without the Apple II. Without the IBM PC, we would never have had Linux.
I'm not sure that without the iPhone, Google would have been inspired to create Android. Does anyone think that OpenMoko inspired Android? It's possible that Maemo played a role too, I concede.
The influence of Apple on UI design has also been profound. Last week I heard Larry Tesler speak at PARC about his invention of "cut and paste", a software facility we take completely for granted. Tesler started that work at Xerox, but he brought it to successful creation at Apple. The cut-and-paste case is an example of an Apple contribution that is so profound as to be almost invisible.
I believe that Jobs was as significant as Ritchie, and in so saying, I intend to take nothing away from Ritchie. Unlike Ritchie, Jobs had a well-known dark side and took many positions I disagree with, but that does not detract from his importance.

Haskell and mathematics
From HaskellWiki
Haskell is growing in popularity among mathematicians. As one blogger put it:
"after my involving myself in the subject, one thing that stands out is the relatively low distance between thought expressed in my ordinary day-to-day mathematical discourse, and thought expressed in Haskell code."
"How can Haskell not be the programming language that all mathematicians should learn?"
Maybe, Haskell is too mathematical for many mathematicians.
This page collects resources for using Haskell to do mathematics.

Book description:
The purpose of this book is to teach logic and mathematical reasoning in practice, and to connect logical reasoning with computer programming. Throughout the text, abstract concepts are linked to concrete representations in Haskell. Everything one has to know about programming in Haskell to understand the examples in the book is explained as we go along, but we do not cover every aspect of the language. Haskell is a marvelous demonstration tool for logic and maths because its functional character allows implementations to remain very close to the concepts that get implemented, while the laziness permits smooth handling of infinite data structures. We do not assume that our readers have previous experience with either programming or construction of formal proofs. We do assume previous acquaintance with mathematical notation, at the level of secondary school mathematics. Wherever necessary, we will recall relevant facts. Everything one needs to know about mathematical reasoning or programming is explained as we go along. We do assume that our readers are able to retrieve software from the Internet and install it, and that they know how to use an editor for constructing program texts.

These images are compiled in Photoshop, that's how they get that slanting reflective light on the screen.
Someone simply used a screenshot from the iPhone on the iPod Touch. That's all.
I hope I'm wrong, because if they release an iPod Touch 3G then screw that black-hole of a financial investment called the iPhone.
Why? What separates an iPhone versus an iPod Touch 3G?
How long until the cheaper iPod Touch is hacked to enable it to work as a phone?
I really can't see the sense...can anyone?
Btw, how do we know it's an iPod Touch and not iPhone 5 for example?
You would be able to do the same thing you can do with the iPad, put a phone sim card in it (one with a phone number) and install pad2phaone and use the default iOS phone app to make calls that would not use data but minuets instead like a phone.
I don't even think that the iPod would cut into iPhone sales all that much. Some people like carrying one gadget in their pocket that can do it all. But I'm one of those people that doesn't want to sacrifice my important (emergency) battery life just to check my email or the weather, or play a game or even listen to music. I'll miss out on GPS, but big deal, cell triangulation is usually good enough for most needs.
LOL!!! If it's A 3G Model SO-WHAT..LOL..It's gonna be JUST like the iPhone5 aka 4(S); it's not going to Be LTE compatible so what's the point in making that Move. Makes no sense to Me why Apple wouldn't consider making A LTE version and Let the Consumer Decide after all isn't that Customer Satisfactions All Bout? Don't get me Wrong, I love Apple but I don't see why they are hesitant in making a LTE iPhone; after all It's already being incorporated into T-Mobiles Network as well as Verizon & At&t so I'd say that's a Pretty Big Step up. Sure if your talking Demograph wise it's OBVIOUS you'd need more Cell towers but still let the consumer decide not the Manufacture.
Photoshop fail.
A 3G device wouldn't be that seamless
Yeah I agree this could be purposefully. I hope that it will have 3G capabilities
Definatly another photoshop fail, they had this when the iPad 2 came out

The KFC Yum! Center Court Is Getting A Makeover
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The court at the KFC Yum Center is getting a make over.
For the first time since the floor was installed, crews have sanded it down and are repainting it. Along with the new ACC logos on each free throw lane, fans will notice the old "winged" Cardinal at center court will be replaced with standard Cardinal-head.
Arena officials say the entire process will take about two weeks and four or more coats of paint to make sure the court looks sharp for fans in the arena and watching on TV.
The court will host it's first basketball game with the arena hosts an NBA exhibition game in October.

User:Benmachine/Non-strict semantics
From HaskellWiki
An expression language is said to have non-strict semantics if expressions can have a value even if some of their subexpressions do not. Haskell is one of the few modern languages to have non-strict semantics by default: nearly every other language has strict semantics, in which if any subexpression fails to have a value, the whole expression fails with it.
1 What?
Any sufficiently capable programming language is non-total, which is to say you can write expressions that do not produce a value: common examples are an infinite loop or unproductive recursion, e.g. the following definition in Haskell:
noreturn :: Integer -> Integer noreturn x = negate (noreturn x)
or the following Python function:
def noreturn(x): while True: x = -x return x # not reached
both fail to produce a value when executed. We say that noreturn x is undefined, and write noreturn x = ⊥.
In Python the following expression to check if 2 is in some list:
2 in [2,4,noreturn(5)]
also fails to have a value, because in order to construct the list, the interpreter tries to work out noreturn(5), which of course doesn't return a value. This is called innermost-first evaluation: in order to call a function with some arguments, you first have to calculate what all the arguments are, starting from the innermost function call and working outwards. The result is that Python is strict, in the sense that calling any function with an undefined argument produces an undefined value, i.e. f(⊥) = ⊥.
In Haskell, an analogous expression:
elem 2 [2, 4, noreturn 5]
in fact has the value True. The program does not try to compute noreturn 5 because it is irrelevant to the overall value of the computation: only the values that are necessary to the result are computed. This is called outermost-first evaluation because you first look at elem to see if it needs to use its arguments, and only if it does do you look at what those arguments are. The upshot is that you can give a function an argument that it doesn't look at, and it doesn't matter if it's ⊥ or not, the function will return a value anyway. Such functions are not strict, i.e. they satisfy f(⊥) ≠ ⊥. Practically, this means that Haskell functions need not completely compute their arguments before using them, which is why e.g. take 3 [1..] can produce [1,2,3] even though it is given a conceptually infinite list.
2 Why?
The important thing to understand about non-strict semantics is that it is not a performance feature. Non-strict semantics means that only the things that are needed for the answer are evaluated, but if you write your programs carefully, you'll only compute what is absolutely necessary anyway, so the extra time spent working out what should and shouldn't be evaluated is time wasted. For this reason, a very well-optimised strict program will frequently outperform even the fastest non-strict program.
However, the real and major advantage that non-strictness gives you over strict languages is you get to write cleaner and more composable code. In particular, you can separate production and consumption of data: don't know how many prime numbers you're going to need? Just make `primes` a list of all prime numbers, and then which ones actually get generated depends on how you use them in the rest of your code. By contrast, writing code in a strict language that constructs a data structure in response to demand usually will require first-class functions and/or a lot of manual hoop-jumping to make it all behave itself.
What this means in practice is that in Haskell you can often write your function as a simple composition of other general functions, and still get the behaviour you need, e.g:
any :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Bool any p = or . map p
Because or uses non-strictness to stop at the first True in the input, map doesn't even need to know that only the first half of the list might be needed. We can write map in the completely straightforward and obviously correct way, and still have it interact well with or in this way. In a strict langauge, you'd have to write the recursion out manually:
any p [] = False any p (x:xs) | p x = True | otherwise = any p xs
since in strict languages only builtin control structures can decide whether some bit of code gets executed or not: ordinary functions like or can't. It's this additional power that Haskell has that leads people to say you can define your own control structures as normal Haskell functions, that makes lists act as for loops, which you can break or continue as necessary, doing no more work than required.
3 How do I stop it?
As mentioned above, non-strictness can hurt performance: if a result is definitely going to be needed later, you might as well evaluate it now, to avoid having to hold on to all the data that goes into it. Fortunately, the Haskell designers were aware of these problems and introduced a loophole or two so that we could force our programs to be strict when necessary: see Performance/Strictness and seq.

Step aside Justin Bieber, it looks like your mom is taking center stage now!
On Friday morning, Justin uploaded a video on Instagram of his mother, Pattie Mallette, singing in a recording studio. The short snippet reveals Pattie's soft voice that sounds very similar to her 20 year-old son's talent.
Justin captioned the video, "Got my moms courage enough to get in the booth for the first time she sounds so good :)"
Could Pattie be joining her "Baby" in the studio? After all, he revealed on Twitter recently that he is working on new music.

Lincoln Town Car Models and Town Car History
Lincoln rolled out their 1998 Town Car with a brand-new design, a drastically improved cabin and more comfortable seating and better designed control systems. In 1999, the carmaker added side airbags as a standard feature while also introducing a new premium JBL sound system. For 2000, Lincoln added a trunk release handle, seat-anchor brackets for child seats, the Lincoln's Belt Minder system and a few interior tweaks while introducing a new body color: Autumn Red Clearcoat Metallic.
In 2001, interior changes like grab handles, adjustable pedals and a few other minor changes and updates were introduced, as well as some minor upgrades being made to packages and options. A three-year complementary maintenance program good for the first 36,000-miles was also offered. 2002 saw the optional addition of the Vehicle Communication System (VCS) for hands-free cellphone access. In 2003, Lincoln reengineered the Town Car, making it smoother handling, faster and safer than previous models. New standard equipment was added and the star ornament was reintroduced.
While there were no major changes in store for 2004, in 2005, Lincoln added a longer wheelbase Executive L trim, but only offered it for commercial fleets. THX sound was now available as was a new two-spoke steering wheel. The Town Car cruised through 2006 and 2007 with no major changes. In 2008, over 50% of the exterior body colors were discontinued. Model years 2009 through 2011 saw no major changes except for the release of the Continental Edition package (2010).

New Jersey ranked as best state to raise children in
Sure, New Jersey has lately had its share of headache-inducing cultural ambassadors, from Snooki to the Situation.
But it turns out that if you want a great place to raise kids, the Garden State ranks tops.
So says the Foundation for Child Development, which put out its annual Child Well Being Index (CWI), a state-by-state comparison of quality of life for kids.
The index uses 28 indicators across seven categories -- family economic well-being, health, safe/risky behavior, education attainment, community engagement, social relationships and emotional/spiritual well-being -- to calculate overall child well-being.
Ranking No. 1 over all, New Jersey was in the top 10 in five categories and was No. 1 for social relationships. (Insert Real Housewives joke here.)

Beautiful Watch But BIG
By Pam
from Baltimore
I love the watch but when I chose the "ladies" version of it I expected a much smaller one. It looks like a man's watch on my wrist. I kept it, however, because of its uniqueness. I had to have a link removed because, again, it is large. Very light weight so that helps alleviate it being cumbersome because of its size.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Tropical Melon Popsicles
I'm not a hot weather person. I'd be happy if the temperature never climbed higher than 89 degrees. So, when it gets miserably hot in the summer, I love to cool down with popsicles. They're such fun, nostalgic treats. Everyone turns into a kid with a popsicle in hand. Right?
Armed with this idea, I went to the grocery store a few nights ago determined to come home with some popsicles for Sunday dinner dessert. It was hot as Hades outside, and I was in a mood to match the weather. I tore through the frozen aisles, assuming that in this age of additive-aware healthy living, finding an all-fruit, no-sugar added frozen treat would be a cinch. Boy, was I wrong.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That sections 7 and 8 of the Act of June 25, 1910 (36 Stat. 857; 25 U. S. C. 406, 407), are amended to read as follows:
The timber on unallotted lands of any Indian reservation may be sold in accordance with the principles of sustained yield, or in order to convert the land to a more desirable use, under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior, and the proceeds from such sales, after deductions for administrative expenses pursuant to the Act of February 14, 1920, as amended (25 U. S. C. 413), shall be used for he benefit of the Indians who are members of the tribe or tribes concerned in such manner as he may direct.
(a) The timber on any Indian land held under a trust or
Page 1003
other patent containing restrictions on alienations may be sold by the owner or owners with the consent of the Secretary of the Interior, and the proceeds from such sales, after deductions for administrative expenses to the extent permissible under the Act of February 14,1920, as amended (25 U.S.C. 413), shall be paid to the owner or owners or disposed of for their benefit under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior. It is the intention of Congress that a deduction for administrative expenses may be made in any case unless the deduction would violate a treaty obligation or amount to a taking of private property for public use without just compensation in violation of the fifth amendment to the Constitution. Sales of timber under this subsection shall be based upon a consideration of the needs and best interests of the Indian owner and his heirs. The Secretary shall take into consideration, among other things, (1) the state of growth of the timber and the need for maintaining the productive capacity of the land for the benefit of the owner and his heirs, (2) the highest and best use of the land, including the advisability and practicality of devoting it to other uses for the benefit of the owner and his heirs, and (3) the present and future financial needs of the owner and his heirs.
"(b) Upon the request of the owners of a majority Indian interest in land in which any undivided interest is held under a trust or other patent containing restrictions on alienations, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to sell all undivided Indian trust or restricted interests in any part of the timber on such land.
"(c) Upon the request of the owner of an undivided but unrestricted interest in land in which there are trust or restricted Indian interests, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to include such unrestricted interest in a sale of the trust or restricted Indian interests in timber sold pursuant to this section, and to perform any functions required of him by the contract of sale for both the restricted and the unrestricted interests, including the collection and disbursement of payments for timber and the deduction from such payments of sums in lieu of administrative expenses.
"(d) For the purposes of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized to represent any Indian owner (1) who is a minor, (2) who has been adjudicated non compos mentis, (3) whose ownership interest in a decedent's estate has not been determined, or (4) who cannot be located by the Secretary after a reasonable and diligent search and the giving of notice by publication.
"(e) The timber on any Indian land held under a trust or other patent containing restrictions on alienations may be sold by the Secretary of the Interior without the consent of the owners when in his judgment such action is necessary to prevent loss of values resulting from fire, insects, disease, windthrow, or other natural catastrophes.
"(f) A change from a trust or restricted status to an unrestricted status of any interest in timber that has been sold pursuant to this section shall not affect the obligations of the Secretary of the Interior under any contract of sale that is in effect at the time such change in status occurs."
Approved, April 30, 1964.

Bethzaida - from Florida, FL
Cakes can be made with a variety of different flours, but it's important to follow what your recipe calls for. When a recipe simply refers to "flour," it usually refers to all-purpose flour. The following information is from Sarah Phillips, founder of baking911.com, and a guest on Bake Decorate Celebrate! several seasons ago:
All-purpose flour is one of the most commonly used and is readily accessible in the United States. You can use either unbleached or bleached and you don't need to buy a fancy brand; flour from the grocery store is perfectly fine.
Bread flour, also referred to as "strong white flour" or "strong flour", is a high-gluten flour usually milled from hard wheat. It contains a high percentage of protein which forms gluten when moistened. It is used in bread recipes because it creates a gluten network strong enough to trap the gases from the yeast. It is not good in quick breads, cookies and cakes, which don't require as strong a network.
Cake flour, an enriched and bleached flour, is used in producing fine chiffon and angel food cakes, as well as assorted cookies. Milled from soft white flour, cake flour has a lower gluten content. It is used where a delicate and tender texture is desired. Almost all cake flour is bleached to lighten its pale beige color. In delicate cakes, it imparts some acidity to a batter resulting in a cake with a crumb that's whiter, finer and sweeter in flavor.
Pastry Flour is available as either plain or whole wheat. It is a low-gluten flour used in delicate cakes and pastries, biscuits, pancakes, pie crust, cookies, muffins and brownies, pound and sheet cakes. If you can't find pastry flour, generally, you can mix 1 cup of cake flour and 2 cups of all-purpose flour and get a good close protein mix to use for pastry flour.
All-purpose and cake flour are the flours we use most often on Bake Decorate Celebrate, and we tell you in each recipe or project which to use!

Tyler police are still looking for two men they say robbed a convenience store at gunpoint early this morning, and they are now seeking a third, female suspect.
It happened just after 2:30 at the Speedy's Exxon station at 900 west Front Street.
According to police, surveillance video showed two men rob the store and drop a $100 bill on their way out. Police say after the men left, a woman walked into the store, saw the $100 bill and took it, despite the clerk telling her it belonged to the gas station. Police say they are looking to file theft charges against that woman.
And the store's clerk talked exclusively to KLTV reporter Lauren Callahan about just how that robbery unfolded.
"I was behind the cash register and I looked up and I saw two guys walking towards the door. They were kind of walking weird and fast. And the guy pulled over his hood at the door, put a mask on his face. The guy in the camo jacket, he held the door open so the other guy could run in. And he ran up with the gun and put the gun up to me. And he said, "give me everything." I said, "Don't shoot, just take what you want. You can have the money," says store clerk Jason Bagsby.
Bagsby says he was having a slow night, and he guesses the robbers couldn't have taken more than $300 as they emptied the register.
"The guy that was waiting at the door said, "come on, let's hurry up." And he held open the door for the other guy and both of them ran out and ran towards Glenwood, says Bagsby.
Bagsby has worked at the store off and on for two years. It's the first time he's ever been robbed, and he knows he's lucky that he's ok
He says, "I was just thinking, I know they're fixing to rob me, and when I saw that gun up close to me, I was just saying, "don't shoot me. Don't shoot me."
"I had a customer in the back of the store that they didn't see. I'm glad they didn't see the customer, but I guess everything turned out ok, I guess," says Bagsby.
Bagsby described the suspects as two black males, the first about 5'8", 150 pounds wearing a red bandana and a gray sweater. The second suspect was described as about 5'8", 180 pounds wearing a brown camo jacket/sweater. Officers were unable to locate the suspects following the incident. The scene was processed for evidence and the case remains under investigation.
Anyone with information about the suspects involved in this crime are urged to contact the Tyler Police Department, at 903-531-1000, or Crimestoppers, at 903-597-CUFF (903-597-2833).

GSA Realigns Office of Information Security
October 6, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- The U.S. General Service Administration's Federal Technology Service has realigned the Office of Information Security (OIS) into two distinct areas -- the Information Security Services Center and a newly created Office of Information Assurance and Critical Infrastructure Protection.
This realignment is a continuation of GSA's efforts to provide customers with innovative, value-added information technology solutions while expanding its leadership role in government-wide security initiatives.
"This is an important step which brings security into our IT Solutions business line and at the same time, allows us to continue to do the work we have done in National Security and Critical Infrastructure Protection," said FTS Commissioner Sandra Bates.
The realignment moves the customer service areas of OIS under the umbrella of the FTS Office of Information Technology Solutions.
The operational functions of the Information Security Services Center include service offerings such as the Safeguard Program, which provides information assurance products and services to agencies, and the Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES) Program, GSA's premier digital signature service offering based on public key infrastructure technology.
The ISS Center will employ a staff of government information systems security professionals. The professionals will offer GSA customers trusted neutrality for inherently government operations in the areas of vulnerability assessments, network engineering, risk analysis and security planning, acquisition and contract management, and other technical services on a fee-for-service basis.
"We believe these organizational changes will better position us to meet our customers emerging technology needs for classified and sensitive telecommunications and information systems," said Sallie McDonald, Deputy Assistant Commissioner for the Center. "Our staff of information security and acquisition professionals have put together a comprehensive portfolio of innovative, cost-effective contracts and service offerings designed to help our customers address critical areas of information security."
McDonald will head the new Office of Information Assurance and Critical Infrastructure Protection until a successor is named. This office will report directly to the FTS Commissioner to ensure maximum visibility throughout the federal government.
The new office will focus on national information assurance and critical infrastructure protection issues from a broader government-wide perspective. They will continue their leadership role to the government's civilian agencies in federal public key infrastructure initiatives, provide cyber-attack incident warning and response services through the Federal Computer Incident Response Capability (FedCIRC), and serve as the government-sector lead under Presidential Decision Directive 63, the Clinton Administration's "Policy on Critical Infrastructure Protection."

Cut out the old pipe and solder in a new coupling
Photo 1: Cut out the damaged pipe
Shut off the main water supply valve, drain the damaged water line and use a pipe cutter to cut out a section of pipe that extends about 1 in. to each side of the leak. Start by gripping the pipe firmly in the cutter's jaws and tightening the cutter's screw. Rotate the cutter in the direction shown—as you tighten the screw handle—until the pipe snaps.
When a copper water pipe corrodes and leaks, or bursts from freezing, you have to fix it fast. If the leak is pinhole-sized and less than 1/2 in. of pipe must be removed, you can make the repair by cutting the pipe and soldering ("sweating") on an ordinary pipe coupling.
But to repair longer sections, use a "sweat" coupling, which you can find at home centers and well-stocked hardware stores. You can buy a sweat coupling sized to repair 1/2-in. or 3/4-in. copper pipe. Mark the leak, shut off the main water valve and drain (or thaw and drain) the affected pipe. Cut out the damaged section (Photo 1), then measure the gap and, from the sweat coupling, cut a repair piece that's 1 in. longer than the damaged section.
The key to a good solder joint is to keep the inside of the pipes dry, so keep a cotton rag stuffed in each pipe end to absorb dribbles of water until just before you solder. Open a faucet above that level to keep pressure from building up and dribbling more water into your repair. Then complete the steps shown in Photos 2 - 4 for a leak-proof repair. Once finished, turn the main supply valve on and check for leaks.
Sweat coupling and tubing cutter
Cut the repair sleeve from the 12-in. repair coupling stock. Smooth the rough-cut inside edges of the sleeve by inserting the blade of the pipe cutter into the cut ends and turning the cutter until the sleeve will slide over the pipe ends without snagging. Clean the sleeve's inside edges for soldering with a 3/4-in. dia. wire fitting brush.

Members of Occupy Long Beach and Los Angeles told their supporters Sunday night to be prepared for a cold, rainy and desolate demonstration this morning at the Port of Long Beach.
Hundreds of members of the Occupy movements in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Orange County are expected to converge 6 a.m. today at the SSA Marine terminals at Pier J to draw attention to perceived economic disparity and social justice, said Toni Kukreja, a member of Occupy Long Beach.
Demonstrators are gathering at the Harry Bridges Memorial Park about 4:30 a.m., followed an hour later by a march on a public walkway near Harbor Scenic Drive to the SSA Marine terminals.
Today's forecast calls for rain and a low in the mid-40s.
SSA Marine is specifically targeted by demonstrators who believe the shipping company is partially owned by financial giant Goldman Sachs.
But that claim is not entirely true, said Bob Watters, senior vice president of Seattle-based SSA Marine, which operates four terminals in Long Beach, one terminal in Los Angeles and a warehouse in Carson.
The company's founding family continues to own a majority of SSA Marine, while the remaining 49 percent is owned by an infrastructure investment fund managed by Goldman Sachs, composed of pension plans for workers in the United States and Australia, Watters said.
Today's march and picket is limited to the Occupy movements. Members of the union representing dockworkers, marine clerks and clerical workers are not participating in the protest, said Robert McEllrath, international president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
The demonstration is expected to end at 9 a.m., when the demonstrators return to the Harry Bridges Memorial Park and leave for a 10 a.m. immigrant rights rally in downtown Los Angeles, Kukreja said.

NOTE: SVN is outdated. New version for pre-Eden nightlies will be out on September 1st. (or few days later )
Because the old thread is gone because of the data loss, here it is again. And because it will last some time until I can finish the mod, you can try the current version. There are many unfinished things and I'm aware of almost all bugs... best XBMC build to use is #27527, the download is in the Beta Bravo release thread. For OSX you can use #27517.
The project is hosted on googlecode and you can do a svn checkout of the skin with:
svn checkout http://xperience1080.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ xperience1080
Download (thanks to ppic): http://passion-xbmc.org/downloads/?sa=downfile;id=93
I'll try to finish it as soon as I can but I have more important work to do at the moment so it will not finished within the next 2 months.
Old Thread:
some may noticed that I'm working on a 1080p version of Xperience (posted some screens in the xperience mod help thread). I'll post a download link later on in this thread if everything is done. I think it will last a month or two or maybe longer to get it done because I have not that much time soon.
But I'd like to show some screens and a video of what I've done so far in the past 2 months. There are still bugs and unfinished things, you'll maybe notice some of them in the video... many dialogs are missing but the views are nearly done besides the pic panel and some details / animations. You'll also notice some things of the Surface skin from phyek... XBMCG33K asked me already if I could provide a version without that stuff. Since it would cost much time to change it completly, I'll maybe add different graphics for those elements and put them in an optional xpr... so same function but different look (background, focus images etc.).
To the performance:
The mod will not run well on slow systems with onboard graphics... I have a Pentium E6300 with Geforce 9300 (GT240 or better would be optimal, maybe GT220 is already enough) and it's not running optimal, especially with fanart turned on. On my workstation it's running smooth with a 9600GT.
So here are the video and the images, hope you like it.
Some Screens:
All images are here (I'll add all new images there):

W. O. Moss Sends Holiday Cheer to Injured Soldiers
Lake Charles - With the holidays fast approaching, a thoughtful effort at W.O. Moss Regional Medical Center is sending season's greetings to recovering soldiers at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
Moss employees and volunteers donated Christmas and holiday cards and postage costs. They've set up a table in the hospital's main waiting room, where employees, patients and volunteers sign and address the cards for delivery. As of last count, over 500 cards have been signed and mailed.
Donna Wilde, statistical technician with the Moss outpatient pharmacy, is spearheading the drive. "I have a son-in-law in the Army who's been to Afghanistan and Iraq," Wilde said. "We are so proud of him and the others who were able and willing to serve our country. This is one way of showing our appreciation."
The goal is to send a card to each patient at Walter Reed, whose average daily census is 100. For this effort, KPLC-TV, the NBC affiliate in Lake Charles, is featuring Moss as one of its "Home Town Patriots," a local news segment that runs twice a week.
To donate to the holiday card project or to learn about any of the services of W.O. Moss Regional Medical Center, call its Public Relations Department, 337-475-8100.

Learning Environment
The Texas MBA Program is recognized for its collaborative environment. Before classes even begin, students connect at their Executive Seminar, and during the school year, you'll connect with your classmates on a plethora of projects as well as travel with them on a Global Study Tour
We are pleased to offer the Texas Executive MBA Program at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center located on The University of Texas at Austin campus just a block from the McCombs School of Business. This best-in-class facility offers a comfortable and convenient environment, which provides all the technological functionality you would expect in a high-productivity workplace. A few steps away from your classroom, you'll have access to breakout rooms for group work, the three restaurants inside the center, and a beautiful courtyard where networking and studying often take place.
By taking all classes together as a cohort, you are able to draw on the complementary cultural, professional, and social backgrounds of your classmates. An integral part of the overall experience is the assignment to a study group of four to six students during the first Executive Seminar. These teams facilitate cross-functional and cooperative problem solving, while bringing together managers from a diverse mixture of backgrounds, functional expertise, cultures, undergraduate education, and industry expertise. The curriculum is designed to encourage students to learn as much from each other as from their coursework and professors. Groups are assigned by the Program Office for the first semester and students can change groups and self-select for the remainder of the semesters.
The intent of the mentor program is to foster relationships between classes by providing incoming students with a current student contact they can seek for questions, guidance and advice regarding their first year in the MBA journey. All students will be assigned a peer mentor prior to the first Executive Seminar. Mentors are encouraged to contact their mentees and student pairs are encouraged to meet as needed during the year and hopefully beyond as alums.

the fighters happen to be white so you instantly assume racism? i didn't even notice the colour of their skin, not sure why anybody would notice that, or even feel need to point it out. how will we ever trully rid racism if we still keep outlining human beings by their colour. who cares if they were all white? or all black? or all purple and fucking yellow. they're all fighters...

Retired 2k and out.
hows about checking out their fighter profiles and seeing the faces and names on it.
again, asking for a "wide range of africans to be represented" what you're actually saying is you want people of different colours fighting, yeah?! essentially selecting and outlining a human being and fighter based on his race, which is as inherently racist as you can get. like i said, whats it matter what the fighter looks like? hes a human being and an athlete, I'm baffled how someone can pick out colour as an issue.
Ignorance to the extreme imo, particularly following it up with the "africa has a history of this" bollox.
its muggy comments like this holding the whole world back on issues like this i think.
