my chances for another one are greater?
mom to the awesomest 9 year old little lady. mom to the awesomest mushy baby born oct.16 2009 by successful VBAC. wife to the awesomest dude ever. life is good. at it again and due march 3, 2012!
Yes. You can plug in your numbers here:
Try plugging in your numbers for before your first VBAC, and then put in your current stats. I'm guessing your probability of success on a subsequent VBAC will be at least 95% (that's about what they were when I put mine in most recently), compared to more like 70% for a first VBAC.
FYI, here's a pretty nice commentary on that particular calculator: http://givingbirthwithconfidence.org/2-2/a-womans-guide-to-vbac/vbac-success-rates-and-prediction-models-understanding-your-chances-of-important-outcomes/

Yes, with each vbac you have your chances of having another are much greater. Info on this at http://www.ican-online.org
And ICAN has a brochure on this topic is shows a chart of this. http://www.ican-online.org/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=167&zenid=c511c216e41b92bebfaac2c034b19773

Orienteering is a sport for the whole family as well as a "family of sports". Participants use a topographical map, usually a specially prepared orienteering map, which they use to find check points in a designated area. The terrain is diverse and usually unfamiliar. Participants are "rated" based on their speed completing the course.
Orienteering began in Sweden in the late 1800's as an outgrowth of military training in land navigation and evolved into a competitive sport. With the development of inexpensive and reliable compasses in the 1930's the sport grew in popularity. After the end of World War II, the sport spread to the rest of the globe.
By 2010, 71 national orienteering federations were member societies of the International Orienteering Federation. These federations enabled the development of national and world championships. World championships are now held every year.
Orienteering can be a lifetime sport; there's something for everyone to enjoy, regardless of age or experience. There are orienteering events on foot, bike, skis, snowshoes, horseback and canoe. There are long distance, night time and rough terrain events, solo and team competitions; in short, something for everyone. Most events provide courses for all levels, from beginner to advanced in experience.
An added bonus is locations selected for orienteering are chosen in part for their beauty, natural or man-made.
Health Benefits of Orienteering
Orienteering involves, walking, running, skiing, paddling, horseback riding and other forms of movement, all of which are aerobic [link to aerobic article] activities that are very good for you.
Orienteering provides an opportunity to get outdoors and explore new natural areas as well as participate with other like-minded individuals. It is a sport the whole family can enjoy, regardless of age.
How Do You Orienteer?
You can think of orienteering as a large well organized scavenger hunt outdoors. Instead of hunting for items, you are hunting for checkpoints. You use a map and a compass to locate a series of checkpoints shown on a specialized topographic map. You are responsible for choosing routes–on or off trail–that will help you find all the points and get to the finish in the shortest amount of time.
The element of route choice is what makes orienteering mentally challenging. You not only have to move faster than other participants, you must out-think them as well. Because of this, orienteering is often called a "thinking sport" because it involves map reading, quick decision-making and athletic ability.
Each checkpoint, or "control," is a distinctly mapped feature, such as a stream junction, boulder, or hilltop, and is marked with an orange-and-white flag, or "bag."
In order to prove that you have reached a checkpoint, you use a punch hanging from the bag to mark your control card (which is provided to you before starting the event). Each course will have its own unique set of punches (no cheating!). Some events are now using an e-punch and you insert a small e-stick into an electronic box at the bag, which registers the checkpoint number and time of visit.
Most events use staggered starts, to help ensure that you get to navigate on your own without interference, distraction or assistance from other participants. The route you take between controls is up to you.
What Equipment Do I Need?
• Compass: Helps you orient the map to North, and take directional bearings. You can often rent one at the event.
• Suitable footwear: Lightweight hiking boots or running/trail shoes.
• Clothing: Dress for a hike that might take you through some brushy areas. The beginner's (White) course generally sticks to trails, but other courses may go through fields and forests.
• Water/snacks: Water is almost always available, but you might want to bring your own for convenience and to drink on the course. Some events will also have post-course snacks. If it's a nice day you can also stay afterward, eat a picnic lunch, and discuss your routes with other participants.
• Soap and water: Some areas of the country might have poison ivy/oak, which you might encounter on any course except White. If you see these plants and are sensitive, it's a good idea to wash off with soap and water as soon as possible after you finish.
What Do I Need to Know?
Knowledge of how to use a compass and topographic map is important, especially for advanced orienteering. Here's a link from Princeton University to teach you more about both of those skills. Orienteering clubs will also offer classes to teach you those skills.
It's also handy to understand the "control descriptions" which provide additional clues to locating the checkpoint. Orienteering USA has a document that outlines all the control descriptions and the symbols needed for a successful adventure. You can find it here.
The Florida orienteering club has developed a very handy, user friendly one page control description cheat sheet (pdf):
The Boy Scouts have an orienteering merit badge so they have developed a work sheet that takes scouts through all the things they need to know about orienteering. It's a great way to test your skills. Boy Scout Orienteering Work Sheet.
How can I find events?
There are many organized events all over the world. You can check out the event link at Orienteering USA, Get Lost Running Racing has California "fun" events, scrambles and rogaines (long duration/distance events), or find a club in your area. There are also permanent courses in a number of places around the U.S.
Events range between $3 – 10 depending on whether it's a Federation sponsored event.
Geo-caching is a super high tech version of orienteering, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geo-caches" or "caches", anywhere in the world.
A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. Larger plastic storage containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value.

Two Darren Criss Albums Rule iTunes List: One 'Glee,' One 'Starkid'
iTunes has a new king for the day, and it's Darren Criss. The "Glee" star had not one, but two albums on the iTunes top five today: one of them is "Glee: The Music Presents The Warblers," featuring Criss as Blaine and the rest of the Warblers performing their music from the show.
The other is the original cast recording of the music from "Starship," the newest production from Starkid, the theater company that Criss started with fellow classmates from the University of Michigan. Starkid became famous for their Harry Potter spoof musicals "A Very Potter Musical" and "A Very Potter Sequel," both of which starred Criss and featured his own original compositions.
Criss did not appear in "Starship," but he still wrote the music for the show while he was busy working on "Glee." That makes two albums on the iTunes top five: this morning, the "Starship" soundtrack debuted at #6, just behind the Warblers, but has since moved up to #5 and could move higher before the end of the day.
Perhaps no one was as surprised as "Starship" writer, producer, and actor Brian Holden, who saw the album's results while in town to promote the premiere of "Starship" in a limited movie theater run. "What the hell? I woke up in Los Angeles this morning! And have an album that's no. 6 on iTunes," Holden tweeted. "I should stop drinking."

Q60 Mr Cash: Can I ask one last question
on this which I started out on? Minister, it is to get to the
guts of this. There is a real problem here and I expect you really
appreciate it. We govern ourselves in this country by passing
legislation in Parliament which comes from the voters when they
choose Members of Parliament and that forms a government, and
then we have parliamentary debates and decisions on hugely important
matters to the people of this country. You know that, I know it
and we share the concern that it should be right. How on earth
would it be possible for a government to agree to transfer the
decision-making process on matters relating to this particular
issue of judicial and police co-operation with the range that
it involves? How can you possibly have a position of taking account
of views which might be expressed? Why can you not simply say,
"This is something we cannot countenance because it would
mean that decisions were taken in these vital areas which would
be governed by Qualified Majority Voting and, therefore, we know
would not necessarily conform to the views expressed in General
Election manifestos"?
Mr Hoon: I am not conceding for
a moment that the Government have decided to do that.
Q61 Mr Cash: You know the point I
am making.
Mr Hoon: In the interest of academic
constitutional debate then the answer is that flows from section
2 of the European Communities Act 1972 agreed by Parliament.
Q62 Mr Cash: It does not because
actually, Minister, if you make a decision in the Council of Ministers
by Qualified Majority Voting then under that section, for which
we, as a party, would want an override, you would not, we would
say that we would disagree with the conclusion which had been
arrived at, but you would say, "We will go along with it".
My real question, however, is whether you will get to the point
of allowing the Council of Ministers to create the situation in
which we would be obliged to implement it under that section 2.
Mr Hoon: Again, I am not suggesting
that we would go along with it. What I am saying is the way in
which European Union law is implemented in this country is as
a result of the European Communities Act passed by Parliament.
Unless and until that Act is repealed, qualified or changed in
some way, that is the mechanism by which these issues are passed
into our law and has been the case since 1 January 1973.
Q63 Mr Cash: You baffle me, Minister,
because you are still not answering the simple question. I am
saying it would not get to that point if we were to exercise the
veto because at the moment it is by unanimity. What I am asking
is whether you can conceive of a situation in which your Government,
you, as Minister for Europe, and the Prime Minister could agree
to take away the sovereign right of the people in this country
to decide as to whether or not it should go to the Council of
Ministers and be decided by Qualified Majority Voting?
Mr Hoon: I had not realised you
were asking such a simple question. I have already answered that
question, and the answer is we will make a judgment in light of
all the factors which the Committee have very helpfully set out
today as to whether or not that was in the best interests of the
people of the United Kingdom. I have made clear in response to
a question from David that I can conceive of circumstances in
which there might be a strong argument on security grounds for
more effective decision-making in this area. That is a matter
which the Government have not yet decided on and have not yet
decided to take forward.
Q64 Michael Connarty: Before we move
on to the next section, can I clarify a fact with you. Is it not
a fact that if justice and home affairs matters are transferred
to Title IV the Commission will then have the sole right of initiative
in JHA European law?
Mr Hoon: We have maintained the
position where first of all that would obviously have to be decided
in the first place by unanimity. We would then have the ability
to opt-in to legislation should we choose to do so. There are
a number of safeguards available to the United Kingdom as a result
of what we have negotiated.
Michael Connarty: We will move on to
the next section. Mr Hoyle?
Mr Hoyle: Something which is dear
to your heart, Minister, is Gibraltar.
Q65 Michael Connarty: Some of us
respect the diligence with which Mr Hoyle pursues the interests
of the voters within the EU!
Mr Hoon: I have always respected
his diligence, Michael.
Q66 Mr Hoyle: We are both aware of
the ridiculous situation that Gibraltar has faced, whether it
is the European Single Sky policy, whether it is a ferry from
Algeciras to Gibraltar or whether it is a Royal Navy shipit
was a cruise ship, it is not quite the case at the moment because
they are easing the tensionthat could not sail from a Spanish
port to Gibraltar or from Gibraltar to Spain directly. This is
in the face of EU rules, it is totally in breach of all agreements,
and we all know, and I have been on the Committee, that all the
time we have draft Community legislation on aviation matters,
which continues to come before us, there is always a provision
suspending its application to Gibraltar. This is absolutely outrageous.
This is Spain's bully-boy tactics. I cannot understand why it
is allowed to continue. I know you have been in very good talks
and that we have almost reached agreement, but the question still
is why on earth is Spain allowed to abuse its position and the
UK Government are doing nothing about it to fight its corner with
the EU?
Mr Hoon: Michael, Lindsay tabled
an extremely astute question the other day about relations between
the UK, Spain and Gibraltar. I hope I have set out in some considerable
detail a comprehensive answer to that question which I think was
warmly received both in Gibraltar and Spain.[1]
Q67 Mr Hoyle: Absolutely.
Mr Hoon: I hope Lindsay will accept
that answer from me because it was so well received and provides
a platform from which a number of very practical discussions can
now be taken forward. I believe those discussions to be in the
interests of the people of Gibraltar as well as in the interests
of the people of Spain. If that progress can be continued through
the result of excellent work by officials in the Foreign Office
and co-operation with the people of Gibraltar and Spain, I do
think there is an opportunity for creating a much better situation
in Gibraltar and Spain. Therefore, if you will forgive me, Michael,
I will not follow Lindsay's rhetoric in the direction in which
he would like me to go simply because I do believe today we have
a better prospect of a sensible understanding of the situation
which I hope will make some of those criticisms redundant in the
quite near future.
Q68 Mr Hoyle: There is a change of
heart within Madrid, there is not a change of heart within the
regional governments that continue, as you well know, to block
easy access in and out of Gibraltar and have abused their position
at customs. We still come back to the fact which worries meand
we have got the Chief Minister here at 5 o'clock next door and
we will be hearing his views and how he welcomes what you have
done so farand the question still remains, if the talks
are not satisfactory, the UK Government still has, and should
do, to ensure the rights not only of the people of Gibraltar but
that the Single Sky agreement puts travellers from the UK at risk
travelling to Gibraltar. I cannot understand how we can allow
that to continue if these talks fail or something goes wrong.
What can we do to ensure that we still do not get the problem
that we have had right along and that is Spain objecting to any
agreement which includes Gibraltar?
Mr Hoon: I have been to Gibraltar
in recent weeks, therefore I was able to continue my long and
binding friendship with Peter Caruana who has done a tremendous
job on behalf of the people of Gibraltar. We have been involved
in many conversations in the course of the last few weeks. The
issue which you raised, Lindsay, is part of an issue that we are
looking to try and improve the situation. We are still slightly
short of an agreement. If you will forgive me, I do not judge,
given the importance of these discussions, that it would help
anyone for me to comment directly on the question at this point.
All I can say is there is real progress. The question which I
answered that you tabled demonstrates that progress. I hope that
when I come back, if I have the opportunity, Chairman, to do so,
I will be able to report on a very positive conclusion of the
discussion we have been having. There has been real progress and
at this stage I do not want to jeopardise that progress by responding
directly to the points which Lindsay raises.
Q69 Mr Hoyle: If it did go ahead,
would you review the situation where Gibraltar has been excluded?
Mr Hoon: I am not prepared to
contemplate failure at this stage.
Q70 Mr Hoyle: It is not a failure,
it is just a matter of would you review it?
Mr Hoon: What I am saying is I
believe we have an opportunity to change the nature of the relationship
for all time between Spain and Gibraltar. That is such a prize
that I think many things can then flow from an easier relationship
and that is so important, therefore many of the things you are
raising as practical problems I hope can be resolved in the light
of that better relationship.
Mr Hoyle: A question to Michael then.
Would you ensure if something did go wrong that we will have an
early meeting with the Minister in order to discuss Gibraltar?
Michael Connarty: I am sure the
Minister will communicate what he hopes will be his impending
success as soon as it is in writing. Can we move on to the question
of enlargement?
Q71 Mr Borrow: Minister, can you
say a few words about the future enlargement of the EU and the
way you see things developing? In particular, there is concern
in respect of the agreed accession of Bulgaria and Romania which
is likely to go ahead irrespective of whether or not both countries
have reached European standards on issues such as criminal justice
because decisions have already been set in train. I would like
you to comment specifically on that, but perhaps you might also
say a few words about the general position.
Mr Hoon: As far as the general
position of enlargement is concerned, the United Kingdom continues
to strongly support enlargement. We believe that it has been of
great benefit to Europe and not only to the countries that have
joined but also to existing Member States to have a larger market
in which to do business and to have countries which respect human
rights, democracy and the rule of law as members. I do not entirely
agree, David, that Bulgaria and Romania will go in irrespective
because there is a further report which we expect from the European
Commission. They produced a report in May setting out some concerns
they had about progress in a number of areas, different for each
country but roughly in the area of justice and dealing particularly
with organised crime. Obviously the Commission will be looking
at those matters again before they produce their further report
which will come to Council, I anticipate, in October. It is not
irrespective, it is a rigorous process which the Commission goes
through. The United Kingdom will obviously want to see satisfactory
answers in the further report from the European Commission in
the light of the criticisms that were made in the previous assessment.
Q72 Michael Connarty: I think the
point being made by Mr Borrow is the longest they can be prevented
from entering is 18 months because they will come in in 2008 regardless.
That is the point. It is not whether they will come in in January
of 2007, but if they still appear not to be up to the acceptable
standard they will come in in 2008.
Mr Hoon: All I am doing is emphasising
what is a rigorous process, a process I have been involved in
in different countries in various ministerial capacities and even
before that other capacities. There is a determined effort by
the European Commission to look across the range of government
activities to ensure that candidate countries satisfy the rules
and requirements of membership of the European Union. If something
was found to be seriously amiss, it is not necessarily the case,
there is still an emergency arrangement that could prevent even
2008 being the date for accession. I do not believe that will
happen. This is not a process which proceeds irrespective of what
happens as the Commission look at the various dossiers which they
have to examine. Therefore, what we will be looking for is both
a sense that the Commission have conducted that examination rigorously
and have provided proper safeguards for existing Member States
to the effect that both Bulgaria and Romania have met the standards
which are required.
Q73 Mr Borrow: One of the concerns
that some of us would have is that however rigorous the Commission
may be in terms of their processes, eventually it is a matter
for the Member States to make the decision. When the 10 came into
the EU a couple of years ago, not all of the entry criteria were
met by all 10 countries, there was a bit of horse trading that
went on in order to ensure that went through. I think certainly
my concern would be if you have got a system in place supposedly
that is independent and rigorous before a country can gain entry
then it is important that Member States, as well as the Commission,
operate that process rigorously and do not allow political horse
trading to subvert the rigorousness of that system itself.
Mr Hoon: I agree.
Q74 Mr Heathcoat-Amory Because no-one
ever dares say "no" to enlargement, the EU has invented
this new jargon about absorption capacity. I notice from the Brussels
Conclusions again that the Commission is to do a report on absorption
capacity which will take into account: " . . . the issue
of present and future perception of enlargement by citizens".
In other words, public opinion is now going to drive this. Given
that a large majority is against Turkey joining in Austria and
France, both of which have been promised referendums, is this
not another example of politicians steaming ahead with ideas and
leaving the public way behind and, therefore, there is a terrible
disillusionment in Turkey in store when they are going to be blocked
by using this absorption capacity idea? Does that worry the British
Government given the view that Turkey's accession is desirable?
Mr Hoon: The phrase "absorption
capacity" has been around for quite a number of years, I
think as long ago as 1999 it was first used in EU text, but I
would be willing to check that. It is not a new idea or a new
concept. Indeed, I am sure members of the Committee will accept
that as a matter of common sense Member States have to consider
whether it is possible for the existing members of the European
Union to absorb new Member States. That is part of a consideration
which already takes place as the various dossiers are examined.
It is not the case that there is a specific agreement as to what
absorption capacity will mean, and that is precisely why there
is to be a further discussion about it in December and why a paper
will be produced by the European Commission. These are matters
which have to be discussed. In terms of public opinion, France
has decided, for the future at any rate, that the question of
membership would be subject to a referendum and, therefore, there
is a direct test of public opinion in France for that purpose.
That is not to say that every country will be expected to follow
France as an example.
Q75 Jim Dobbin: On the Turkish accession,
the Turkish issue, and the tripartite relationship between the
Greek Cypriots, the Turkish Cypriots' co-operation and Turkey
itself, where does the problem lie? Who is at fault here? What
is the relationship like?
Mr Hoon: Sorry, can you repeat
Q76 Jim Dobbin: With the possibility
of Turkey coming in as part of enlargement, these are three neighbours,
who is being obstreperous or difficult?
Mr Hoon: No-one at the moment.
Q77 Michael Connarty: Do you wish
to expand on that?
Mr Hoon: I attended the most recent
General Affairs Council Meeting where the first chapter of the
negotiations in relation to Turkey's accession was both opened
and closed and demonstrated that the process is underway. I accept
that there are some rather more difficult issues than science
and technology in our way in the future, but I think opening accession
negotiations with Turkey last September was a great success for
the European Union. I think it is wholly consistent with long-standing
British foreign policy and therefore something I have strongly
welcomed and continue to do so. I am not suggesting that there
will not be difficulties, there always are difficulties in these
discussions which we will have to overcome, but I am not yet anticipating
what they are.
Q78 Nia Griffith: There are a couple
of issues about Turkey. Obviously when we were there we were very
impressed by the economic progress and their enthusiasm, but there
still seemed to be a stubborn reluctance to recognise the need
for improvement in certain areas, obviously human rights being
the main area. How do you see negotiations proceeding? There was
a feeling that they were being picked on and that we were making
the rules up especially for them and this love of the constitution
which they copied from the Italians in 1924. How do you see progress
with dialogue going forward?
Mr Hoon: It will be the same process
that we were discussing earlier in relation to Romania or Bulgaria.
There will be a range of testsI cannot use a better wordand
respect for human rights and the rule of law will be a key aspect
of that. It is something which, as we have demonstrated very recently,
the European Union takes very seriously and will apply rigorously.
All I would say is we started this process, there are going to
be issues that we will have to discuss directly with Turkey, and
I am sure there will be areas where Turkey will find it difficult.
All candidate countries find it difficult to move their standards
to those of the European Union. Having said that, I think the
objective ultimately of Turkish accession to the European Union
is an important one strategically, economically, and I think politically.
With a country which has a large Muslim population, sees itself
as being Western and sees its institution as being secular, I
think the prospect of Turkish accession is something we should
consider very carefully. There are a number of problems that if
for whatever reason we fail ultimately I think it will make the
position very difficult for the European Union and, therefore,
is why successive governments of the United Kingdom have supported
the Turkish accession.
Q79 Mr David: Obviously Turkey's
accession, if it comes about, is ten, 15 years from now, possibly
more, and it is difficult to predict how things are going to go
exactly. Can I urge the Minister to think aloud? Bearing in mind
that the Enlargement Commissioner has speculated that there might
be a possibility at some time in the future, when it comes to
the sensitive issue of the free movement of labour, that some
sort of special arrangement could be made regarding Turkey. Is
that something which you think could be debated and discussed
at some point in the future?
Mr Hoon: First of all, I would
not want any suggestion of silence on my part to suggest that
I am agreeing to your timetable, so I do not think it is sensible
at this stage at the start of negotiations to be putting a timetable
upon them. What we have always done in relation to the process
of opening our market is look at the best interests of the British
economy at the time as well as obviously whatever legal obligations
we have. The question of accession has been separate from the
process by which we have opened up our labour market. If you invited
me to comment on it, I would say that would remain the case with
all new countries because there is a separate process to resolve
those issues.

Edcuators Get a 'Big Help' From Nickelodeon
We have just awarded 41 grants to educators in 24 states in partnership with Nickelodeon's "The Big Help." Each school year, the Foundation awards more than 150 grants to educators in every state. It is always eye-opening and inspiring to see what these educators can do with. Here are just a few examples of the classroom projects and professional development that educators will undertake over the next year:
In Kissimmee, FL, students will have fun learning important principles of "roller coaster" science as they design, build, and test scale roller coasters.
In Holland, OH, through the "Virtual Book Buddies" program, eighth grade students will use technology to create digital storybooks, partnering with kindergarten students to improve their reading skills.
In Lake Mills, WI, educators are engaging students and improving writing and reading skills by integrating innovative web 2.0 technologies, such as blogs, webinars, podcasts, and electronic readers, into lessons across curriculum.
Music educator, Kerrin Stewart, of Acton, Mass., will travel to Ghana for three weeks to study the musical traditions of the Ewe people. When she returns, she will create an in-depth unit for the upper elementary grades exploring West African music, dance, and culture.
Find these projects and more in our Grantee Archive.

Adaptation Shawl and Scarf
You may not be able to tell from looking at it, but this stitch is almost exactly identical to the stitch used for the Falling Leaves shawl. One decrease at the beginning and one increase at the end cause the lace stitch to balance in a whole new way. It goes to show how small changes can make a big difference.
Pattern is discontinued and no longer available.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Well, I am currently taking adderall 5 mg twice daily. I am a 26 year old male with a normal EKG and a normal Echo. Everytime i taek adderall i feel chest tingling and as i breathe i feel an increase need to cough. Once i cough, my chest no longer feels tingling. This happens only as i take the drug. Can you explain why I have this side effect??
how is anxiety linked to the cough
and how do you describe anxiety?
also, what alternatives are there for stimulant medications that do not have anxiety as a side effect?
3 questions. thanks
This is for ADD
I prefer to use a stimulant drug. What other options are there that are stimulants that might help avoid the side effect of a cough
I do not understand the correlation between ACH inhibtors and adderall and myself, please explain
oh okay.. I do not taek ace inhibor
I feel this is due to anxiety
Is the risk of anxiety as a side effect less with ritalin?
No i take this for ADD, not narcoplepsy or ADHD. Just add
okay thanks. what is the reason of less of a risk with Ritalin than with Adderall? I do not understand the two
the last question i have to the one above is how would you differnetiate the acting of the two drugs: Adderall and Ritalin. What are the differences you have seen in patients and what would you prefer for add as opposed to adhd.
Sounds good. How can i tell what dose I should be on? I will see my doctor next week and currenlty i take 5mg once or twice daily. What should i feel like (please be detailed) when on the optimal dosing? SHould i feel more concentrated, should i feel more active, more subtle)? Please be as detailed as you can. Thanks
This should be the last major question i have
Are you there?

What Summer Reading Should Be…
Filed under Uncategorized
5 responses to "What Summer Reading Should Be…"
Exactly! Not that I don't love to play, too. But there's nothing like a good book.
Yeah, 'cuz in summer you can bring a book with you when you climb a tree, and sit up there all day reading.
I love Calvin and Hobbes.
Calvin is my favorite. I'm convinced that all the truths in the Universe can be found in Calvin and Hobbes.
I'm in the last few pages of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I can't put it down, but I'm DREADING its being over. I have SO enjoyed this book! After the pressures of finishing grad school, I have been revelling in being able to read for pleasure, and have been shirking some responsibilities of laundry and cleaning to find a comfy spot to read.
Truly one of the great joys in life!
I thought I was the only one who used to climb trees to read. I would spend HOURS in a tree with a book, a big plastic cup of tea and an old coffee can full of cherry tomatoes.
Ahhhh … time to read. I remember that. Vaguely.
Apparently the bibliophile part of my brain has failed to check in with the mommy-of-4-demanding-kids part of my brain and keeps ordering me to buy books at the rate I always have.
The result is a veritable tower of unread books on my side of the couch. I fondle them sometimes and dream of getting to read.

"We strongly suspect that my son's report may have been interchanged with someone. It may be unintentional, but anything can happen in this country," said Pradeep, an assistant sub-inspector from Jalandhar.
"We wonder why it took two months to make the report public. The forensic department, where the samples were sent, could have given the report in 2-3 days. So, why have the Mumbai Police announced the results of the tests on the celebrities in the second phase? Instead, it should have been announced in the first list," he said.
Sharma is not ready to believe that his leg-spinner son is at fault. "Rahul is not a party boy. He had no knowledge of the rave party. He was given to understand by his team manager that they would be attending a birthday party of some friend and so he went there. The family was nervous initially when the report was first announced, but now we are confidant Rahul is not involved in this scandal. I have spoken to Rahul three-four times. I even spoke to the team manager (Sanjay Patel) in Sri Lanka and we have been assured that Rahul is being backed by the team members," Sharma Sr said.

Electronics Repair Questions? Ask an Electronics Technician
Hello Customer,
Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer. There is no piratical way to recover the calls once they have been deleted. Someplace like a FBI crime lab might be able to recover some of the information but there are no shops that a consumer can go to that can or will recover this data. Sorry I did not have better news for you. I have done extensive research for other customers on this exact subject.
Where are the messages in a phone message machine once the delete button has been pushed? It is not so old a machine that you hear the tape being erased.
Is there a SIM card in the machine?
The digital messages are removed from the digital memory in the phone when deleted. There is no sims card that has the messages on them. The card is not removable and there is no piratical way for a consumer to have this information recovered. I had a customer that really wanted their message from a deceased love one. Price was no object. I spent at lease 8 hours calling and never found a shop that could or would recover the message.

To promote and encourage open housing policies, the commissioner must establish affirmative marketing regulations for housing developers that receive more than $50,000 in state or local funds. The regulations must require the management or marketing agency for the housing development to adopt an information distribution or marketing plan for actively informing minorities and other protected groups of available housing opportunities. For purposes of this section, "protected groups" has the meaning given it in section 43A.02, subdivision 33. The commissioner may adopt rules to carry out the purposes of this section.

1. What kind of institution is the University at Albany?
The University at Albany is a medium-sized public research university with all of the characteristics of that kind of institution:
The University at Albany is the product of more than 150 years of change reflecting the evolving needs of New York State. It began as a distinguished College for Teachers, and the story of how that College was converted into an aspiring University is instructive. By the late 1950s it was becoming apparent that private colleges and universities would not be able to expand sufficiently to meet the educational needs of the state in the 1960s. A state problem produced a state solution: the rapid expansion of the State University of New York system of higher education, including the creation of four university centers (the University at Albany being one), with leadership provided by an aggressive governor, Nelson Rockefeller.
The modern University at Albany came into being in 1962 when it was assigned the mission of becoming a "university." Albany adopted the conventional model of a broad-based public research institution charged with providing a liberal arts education for large numbers of undergraduates, developing graduate programs and professional schools, building a research effort, and serving the state which provided financial support. The 1960s was a decade of exuberant growth for Albany. Baby boomers crowded the Albany campus and enrollments quadrupled between 1962 and 1970. The numbers of undergraduate liberal arts majors and master's, doctoral, and professional programs multiplied. In the late 1960s the University added about 100 new faculty members each fall.
Students who choose the University at Albany are some of the brightest students in the nation. The University received 20,250 freshman applications for the fall 2007 semester. Fifty-two percent were offered admission. Over 2,400 freshmen from 26 states and 13 foreign countries started classes in September 2007. Nearly 90% of new students were ranked in the top half of their high school class, and the middle 50% of the entering class scored between 1070 and 1210 on the new SAT exam.

It's the month after (you made all those New Year's resolutions) and the morning after (you broke most of them while sitting on a couch consuming thousands of calories while watching other people play a sport that would probably kill you).
Adults of a certain age, especially, could use a little inspiration today.
Vonda Wright is happy to oblige. Wright is an orthopedic surgeon who advises and studies aging athletes, including competitors in the Senior Olympics. She also runs a program at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center that gets aging couch potatoes on their feet and into a 5K walk or run in 12 weeks. She's the author of a new book, Fitness After 40: How to Stay Strong at Any Age.
Q: Are some sports — football, for example — just a bad idea for older adults?
A: I do hope people sitting on the couch and watching football will be inspired and will want to go out and rediscover the athlete they once were. For a 40-, 50- or 60-year-old, I'm not opposed to flag football or a good game of touch football. But to really tackle each other, well, there's a price to pay.
Q: Inspiration can sometimes be a dangerous thing. Tell me what you saw in your office during the Beijing Olympics.
A: There was a surge of the weekend-warrior types: middle-aged people who hadn't exercised in a while or who had been exercising but took it to the next level too rapidly. We saw lots of knee pain.
Q: You say one of the greatest barriers to exercise in folks over 40 is "couch addiction." What's the cure for that?
A: There are several. But here's one idea: Instead of every night lying down on the couch after dinner with a full belly and watching the news, how about we put a few resistance bands in our TV room and, while we're watching the news, we do an upper-body workout? Or lean up against a living room wall and do some squats … Just turn that place you love into a gym.
Q: Two other big barriers are injuries and osteoarthritis. Don't some people with these problems just have to give up their favorite sports or fitness routines?
A: Modify, modify, modify … I have a patient who is an ultra-marathoner who has arthritis and he was skiing and he tore his (knee ligament). Another doctor told him he would have to give up the ultra-marathons. But we found new ways for him to train, and he's continuing. Now, there are cases where people have to stop a sport, but I encourage them to find an alternative. If you can't do cardiac by running, you can do cardiac by rowing.
Q: What's the biggest mistake older exercisers make?
A: It's the terrible toos: too much, too soon, too often … The biggest mistake is not to investigate a safer way to exercise. And No. 2 is not having a well-rounded program.
Q: Do most people need help to get started — or can most, as the Nike ads say, "just do it?"
A: If most people could just do it, they would just do it. Most need a little bit of hand-holding — whether it comes in the form of grabbing a neighbor as an exercise partner, joining a group like mine or hiring an athletic or personal trainer.
Q: You also work with elite aging athletes. Do these people have some special quality?
A: Incredible mental fortitude. They will tell you that the best years of their lives are the second 40 or 50. They can't wait to get up in the morning.

With no lysine kinases (WNKs) play important roles in plant growth and development. However, its role in salt and osmotic stress tolerance is unclear. Here, we report that
Salinity generates both ionic and osmotic stresses in plants [
Under drought-induced osmotic conditions, plant roots sense water deficit signals and produce more abscisic acid (ABA), which is transported to leaves through vascular tissue, leading to stomata closure to reduce water loss [
Protein kinases have been reported to regulate responses of plants to salt and osmotic stresses. For instance, Ca2+ signals, triggered by salt stress, are perceived by SOS3—the binding of calcium and myristoylation of SOS3 are necessary for SOS3 function—and then, SOS3 activates the SOS2 kinase; the subsequently activated SOS2 kinase phosphorylates the SOS1 Na+/H+ antiporter, which then pumps Na+ out of the cytosol [
With no lysine kinase (WNK) is a subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases existing in both animals and plants. A lysine residue in subdomain II of kinase is very important for Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding and highly conserved among all the other kinase subfamilies, which is missed in this WNK subfamily, but replaced by another lysine in subdomain I [

I am curious what the best way to start a new WordPress layout is. For example. Say that someone gave me a fully coded HTML layout. All I have to do is code it into WordPress. I usually start by taking the 2014 or 15 theme, gut it and code my theme using one of those as the backbone. This leaves the problem that I usually have to spend significant time coding the default stuff like the galleries, comments….bla, bla,bla.
I am looking for a better way. A responsive way that doesn't have a framework that I will need to disable. I am trying to get away from the bloated admin panels with a billion options that you have to spend weeks figuring out how to use. I think the customizer and a great page builder might be able to solve my option menu issues.
so, how do you start?
WPCanyon said
Why are you calling it with the priority of 999? A wild guess is that the issue is there, get rid of that and let it use the default priority ( 10 ).
I did that because I have googled the crap out of this issue and one article suggested doing that to change when it loads.
Thank you everyone for your comments. I am going to start over with the javascript and give it another try.
@greenline, yes, I do have the wp_head and wp_footer in my theme
@billyF, I tried changing the functions as you pointed out. That didn't work
@agusmu, zero change in changing to the code to match your suggestion. Still the exact same amount of issues. I would love to know what it is about the enqueue function that just breaks javascript.
can anyone tell me why when I use a script tag to load all javascript files things work perfectly fine but when I take those script tags out of the head and use wp_enqueue_script I get a bunch of TypeError: $ is not a function errors and the site crashes?
Is there a trick that I am missing?
I enclosed them in a function. Below is an example of my code
function bliss_jsscripts(){
if( !is_admin()){
wp_register_script('supersized', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/supersized.3.2.6.js',array('jquery'), false, false);
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bliss_jsscripts', 999);
I am working on a theme and I am building my own widget that will have the option to include a few different sliders. What I want to know is how to include the javascript. If the slider isn't present, there is no need to enqueue the js. So, in the widget, is it against the "rules" to enqueue the js from the widget? So in this case, there could be a js inserted in the middle of the page.
Is there another way to handle this issue?
not that it matters or that anyone would care but I hate the white background. It strains the eyes to look at it.
what I envision for this goes like this.
1. I find a PSDonline here that I like. 2. I buy it and code it for the fun of it 3. I put that finished, coded site online on my own personal store 4. A customer comes along and purchases the finished coded site for 100.00 bucks or more 5. I come here, purchase another license of the PSD and leave the site on my store.
Every time I would sell a site that I added to my store, I would have to come here and buy a new license. Once you purchase the license, you are buying the right to use it for commercial purposes.
When is it a good idea to justify text? Is this something I should do with post content? Is it better to just let it flow and break up when it chooses based on the width of the container or could I justify it? Is there a good design rule that can be applied here?
I too am now an Avada buyer. I have joined thousands of other and have finally taken the plunge. Does this get me into any exclusive clubs?
