Loved the design of this and still do however have worn this only once or twice since buying a few months back. This is due to the lack of support when wearing this sports bra. I am a 34D 8/10 and got a medium, it fits well but lacks support so not ideal for running/ training in general.
The size is too big, not XS-S like stated here. It looks nice and cool but definitely not high support!
Recently purchased the High Support bra, it has a really nice design. Unfortunately it offers little support when doing a high impact sport.
It's really pretty, especially the back, but it's nowhere near high support! I knew that it was a risk, since bras should never be sized as S/M/L but I loved the deisgn so decided to give it a go. I'm normally 32F and ordered size S/M. There is no support whatsoever. It is very strechy. I felt like wearing a normal top - I could consider wearing it as a pyjama top for bed, but never to work out. Unfortunately will be returning it.
Comfy as, really pretty, but as a bouncy girl there was nowhere near enough support :( I know most gym babes are significantly smaller busted than I am,but I was flolloping all over the place which was disappointing as this is marketed as high support.
I really like this bra, it's very comfortable, a soft but also supportive fabric. Easy to work out in. Colours are great too, it goes well with most of my other gym wear.
Really comfy, bit of padding which is a bonus. Love the strappy detail at the back. Wonder if its acceptable to wear out of the gym!Goes Well With:Running tights

The explosion five miles south east of the Basra also injured three other soldiers, one of them critically.
Pte Simpson, 21, from Howden, East Yorkshire, was a member of the 1st Battalion, the Yorkshire Regiment, the Ministry of Defence said.
The death brought the total number of UK troops killed as a result of hostile action in Iraq since 2003 to 101.
The total number of UK troops killed in operations is 132.
The MoD said private Simpson was returning to his base from a routine patrol when the device detonated close to the vehicle he was driving.
Personal pride
Pte Simpson, who was known as "Boob" to friends, had two sisters.
He joined the Army at the age of 16 and saw service in both Northern Ireland and Bosnia before being deployed to Iraq in November 2006.
His father also served with the 1st Battalion as a Sergeant Major.
Commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Jackson, said: "Private Luke Simpson stood out as a young soldier with the highest personal and professional credentials.
"He had the potential to go far and his dedication to duty, personal pride in soldiering and selfless commitment to his comrades is an inspiration to us all."
Colleagues in A Company said Star Wars and TV comedy fan Pte Simpson was someone who always put others before himself.
"His loss is devastating as he was such a positive influence on the platoon. He never complained and always made light of difficulties. He was simply a great soldier to have around and be around," said Sgt Chris McConaghy.
Others recalled his sense of humour.
Lance Corporal Chris Blunsdon said: "He was not the biggest guy in the world, in fact we called him 'kid's body', but he used to go on about how huge he was all the time.
"I remember him once complaining that the new Land Rover was not big enough for his massive frame and pretending to get cramp in the front seat."
Pte Stuart Brown, formerly of 1 Platoon, said: "You would see a group of giggling troops and guarantee that Boob would be in the middle... I will miss him dearly."
Defence Secretary Des Browne said his thoughts and prayers were with Private Simpson's loved ones and comrades.
He said attempts to undermine British efforts to improve the lives of the Iraqi people would not succeed.
"We are very proud of the professionalism and courage shown by our Armed Forces serving on operations around the world," he said.

J&K council polls acid test for coalition
Votes to be cast at 286 election booths in state
Even the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference has withdrawn its call to boycott the polls.
JKPC chairman Shafiq Mir said: "The organisation (legislative council) stands for the democratic principles of the Indian constitution. Hence, and for the sake of larger democracy, we are withdrawing the boycott."
However, he clarified that JKPC would not support any particular group or individual and asked panchayats and panches to vote for whoever they wanted to.
Of the 36 seats in state legislative council, six — four from the panchayat quota and two from local bodies — are lying vacant since the last panchayat polls in 2011.
Thirty-seven candidates are contesting from Jammu region and Kashmir valley, including a big chunk of independents.
The electorate for the council polls comprises 33,540 elected panches and sarpanches (village council members and heads), with 15,628 in Jammu region and 17,912 in the Kashmir Valley.
Votes would be cast through electronic voting machines at 286 polling booths. Votes would be counted on December 6.
Each panchayat member would cast two votes: one each for two candidates of the area.
Though the 2011 panchayat polls were held on non-party basis, "political parties did back their candidates", said Rekha Choudhary, professor of the political science in Jammu University.
She added: "Now, each party is trying to consolidate their position in the Upper House where the candidate's term would be of six years."
Amir Tantray, a political analyst, said: "These elections will present the report card of the National Conference and Congress coalition in the run-up to the 2014 state Assembly elections."
However, Choudhary disagrees: "The report card of the government is given directly by voters and not by just 33,540 panchayat members."
Over 80 per cent voters had cast votes in the panchayat elections. CPI(M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami said: "Most importantly, the institution of the panchayat is getting representation in the Upper House."

Australia's big four banks clearly aren't too worried that their bulging profits could prompt the Murray financial services inquiry to look closely at whether there's enough competition in the country's banking industry.
The result clearly demonstrated the bank's impressive strength across all its business sectors. The bank was able to grow its home lending by 6.5 per cent (well ahead of overall system growth of 5.4 per cent), while business lending grew by a muscular 5.4 per cent (well ahead of the 1.7 per cent for the system as a whole).
As a result, the bank was able to boost its average interest earning assets by $41 billion to $690 billion, while its net interest income rose by 8 per cent.
The bank also continues to act as a magnet for savers. The bank's household deposits grew by 9.5 per cent (ahead of system growth of 9.3 per cent). Despite stronger competition for deposits, the bank is still able to use customer deposits to satisfy 63 per cent of its group funding.
The results were also bolstered by the bank's tight leash on costs, which led to an improvement of 90 basis points in its cost to income ratio. And the relatively benign economic environment means that provisions for problem loans were kept at the same level as in the previous half.
But the big question for the big four banks is whether their stunning profit performances will trigger rising debate about whether there is sufficient competition in the Australian banking market.
Already, smaller competitors such as credit unions and building societies are urging Canberra to hit the big four banks with an annual levy of up to $2.2 billion to recognise the implicit government guarantee they enjoy because they are "too big to fail". The smaller players believe that such a levy would level the banking playing field, and increase competition.
But Commonwealth Bank boss
In other words, Canberra will have to think very carefully about the likely shareholder backlash as it toys with possible ways to boost banking competition.

Our friend John Sonnen at Orbis Catholicus has posted a nice photo of one of the purple dalmatics made for the pontificate of Benedict XVI. These are the purple vestments used at Vespers at the beginning of Advent.
Here is a detail.
Is there a triregnum there?
Whaddya know!
I spy with my little eye something beginning with 't'! :-))))))
no photo!? :-(
Can't say it, can't spell it, but it still makes my knees shake it's so beautful.
That looks like the corner of the Holy Father's cope held by the deacon in procession rather than the dalmatic itself.
I would like to see a detail of the Holy Father's new ferula – it is supposed to have his coat of arms on it.
Yes, that looks more like the cope the Holy Father was wearing.
The coat of arms medallion looks really cool!
And the service was beautiful too-I saw it streamed on EWTN!

The word cookie is one of those technological terms where the name does nothing to convey what the feature actually does. It is commonly believed that even the people at Netscape responsible for devising and implementing cookies didn't really have a valid reason for selecting the name. Questionable naming aside, JavaScript cookies are actually an extremely powerful feature.
What is a JavaScript Cookie?
Cookies allow you to store information on the computer of the visitor browsing your web site. Before you get carried away with dreams of secretly moving all those music and image files clogging your hard drive onto the disks of your site visitors you first need to understand some limitations.
Firstly, a cookie can only hold string based name/value pairs (i.e. name=value settings). You cannot store binary data in a cookie. Secondly, cookies can be a maximum of 4kb in size each. Finally, a single server or domain can only store a total of 20 cookies per user browser.
Another common limitation of cookies is that browsers can be configured to turn off support for cookies. If you design a web site that relies on cookies being supported by the user's browser there is the possibility that your site will fail to function for a certain percentage of your visitors.
Despite the limitations outlined above, cookies provide an excellent way to maintain state on the client's browser. For example, you might want to store information in a cookie so that when a user returns to your site they can pick up where they left off (perhaps partway through completing an all important purchase in an online shopping cart).
The Structure of a Cookie
Cookies are created using the cookie property of the Document object. The format of a cookie is as follows:
name=value; expires=expirationDateGMT; path=URLpath; domain=siteDomain
Cookie Name / Value Pair
The first section of the cookie defines the name of the cookie and the value assigned to the cookie. Both the name and value settings can be anything you choose to use. For example, you might want save a user's currency preference - currency=USDollars. This is the only section of the cookie that is mandatory. The following settings can be omitted from the cookies if they are not required.
Cookie Expiration Setting
The optional expires= section specifies the date on which the cookie should expire. The JavaScript Date Object can be used to obtain and manipulate dates for this purpose.
For example, to set a cookie to expire in 6 months time:
var expirationDate = new Date; expirationDate.setMonth(expirationDate.getMonth()+6)
Cookie path SettingThe path= setting allows a URL to be stored in the cookie. By default, cookies are accessible only to web pages in the same directory as the web page which originally created the cookie. For example, if the cookie was created when the user loaded http://www.techotopia.com/intro/index.html that cookie will be accessible to any other pages in the /intro directory, but not to pages in /navigation. By specifying path=/navigation this limitation is removed.
Cookie domain Setting
Similar to the path setting, cookies are only accessible to web pages residing on the server domain from which the cookie was originally created. For example, a cookie created by a web page residing on www.techotopia.com is not, by default, accessible to a web page hosted on www.linuxtopia.org. Access to the cookie from web pages on linuxtopia.org can be enabled with a domain=linxutopia.org setting.
Creating a Cookie
Now that we have an understanding of what cookies are and how they are structured we can now look at how to create one. As mentioned previously in this chapter, cookies are created using the cookie property of the JavaScript Document object.
In the following example we will prompt the user for their name and then write that information to a cookie on their computer system:
<html> <head> <title>JavaScript Cookie Example</title> <script language=javascript type="text/javascript"> function writeCookie( ) { var name = document.orderForm.nameField.value; // Get the user's name document.cookie = "yourName=" + name; // Create the cookie } </script> </head> <body> <form action="" name="orderForm"> Enter your name: <input type="TEXT" name="nameField"/> <input type="BUTTON" value="Write Cookie" onClick="writeCookie()" /> </form> </body> </html>
Reading a Cookie
var yourName = document.cookie.split("=")[1];
With this in mind we can update our example to read the cookie and display the value assigned to it:
<html> <head> <title>JavaScript Cookie Example</title> <script language=javascript type="text/javascript"> function writeCookie( ) { var name = document.orderForm.nameField.value; document.cookie = "yourName=" + name; } function readCookie( ) { if (document.cookie != "") //make sure the cookie exists { var yourName = document.cookie.split("=")[1]; //Get the value from the name=value pair document.write ("Hello, " + yourName); } } </script> </head> <body> <form action="" name="orderForm"> Enter your name: <input type="TEXT" name="nameField"/> <input type="BUTTON" value="Write Cookie" onClick="writeCookie()" /> <input type="BUTTON" value="Read Cookie" onClick="readCookie()" /> </form> </body> </html>
Removing a Cookie by Setting the Expiration Date
The only way to remove a cookie from a client system is to set the expiration date of the cookie to a date that has already passed. To do this simply use the JavaScript Date Object to get today's date, set that Date back a month or so and then re-write the cookie using that revised date:
var expirationDate = new Date; expirationDate.setMonth(expirationDate.getMonth()-1); document.cookie = "yourName=expired; expires=" + expirationDate.toGMTString();

It's simple, and free.
But North Korea was not tied to the Soviet Union, but to China, which shows no signs of collapsing. The adverse economic consequences on West Germany was pointed out in a New York Times article (Dec. 3, 1990) which stated that "the balance of political forces may vacillate widely and frequently over the next four years...Mr. Kohl's challenges include an inevitable increase in taxes to finance the huge costs of rehabilitating Eastern Germany."
The high cost of rehabilitating or absorbing the North Korean economy would have an unhealthy affect on South Korea.
The Construction and Economic Research Institute of Korea, which is a think tank affiliated with the Ministry of Construction estimates that "the North Korean infrastructure is at around South Korea's 1975 level, and that it would cost more than $6 billion to bring it up to South Korea's 1990 level" (Noland, "Economics of National Reconciliation," 2000).
South Korean Minister of Culture and Tourism, Park Jie Won, has stated that the model of German unification, in which the economically stronger West Germany quickly absorbed the weaker East Germany "will not work on the Korean peninsula" (Sims, 2000). Park added that "South Korea's economy would not survive the high costs." Park, who was one of the major negotiators behind the historical Summit meeting, contended that a series of measured steps over the coming years would be the best way to "break down the ideological and economic barriers that have divided" the two Koreas for more than half a century. He pointed out that it would take a long time to break down these barriers since both North and South have been conditioned and socialized to regard each other as enemies, not as one people or one country.
The three principles of national unification as stated in one of the first proclamations issued by the South and the North indicate that neither country thought in terms of a h

>Racing>Wear HRM strap during race?
I have a 30K coming up on Sunday, FedEx says my HR strap will arrive Friday. I want to wear it because it's a new toy (and ostensibly it may help with my pacing), but on the other hand I fear trying something new on race day...
Super B****
Definitely not -- I had a HRM strap come loose during a race and because I didn't want to waste time fixing it, I ended up with some pretty lovely chafing. And it wasn't new, had never happened before (or since)!!
chasing 5:59
because i never shut up ... i blog
I wouldn't try anything new on race day.
had the same problems as BlueRun.
save it for your recovery runs next week.
2017 Goals:
#1: Do what I can do (200+ training days, 200+ aerobic hours).
#2: Race shape (1/2 marathon, 2 half Ironmans, marathon)
#3: Prepare for 2018
I wear mine in all my races, but I wear it on almost every run.
I haven't had any problems with it, but I wouldn't try something new on race day just in case.
Age: 49 Weight: 202 Height: 6'3" (Goal weight 195)
Current PR's: Mara 3:14:36* (2017); HM 1:36:13 (2017); 10K 43:59 (2014); 5K 21:12 (2016)
ok, looks like a pretty clear answer. Thank you all!
I'm used to wearing a HRM now. In fact, I feel strange when I don't run with it. But I do recall taking some time to get used to it. The first race I ran with it, I realized it was too loose and wasn't getting accurate readings. So, no, don't wear it for the first time during the race.
I usually wear a hrm on all my runs but will usually only do one or two races per "season" with it on just to see how hr lines up with prior seasons.
That's only for post-run feedback, though. I wouldn't race by hr or even look at hr in a race because it's just too irrelevant.
If you had experience with that strap and knew it didn't cause any problems, I'd say wear it. I've never had a problem with any of my straps, but some people report chafing. In the spirit of don't do anything new on race day, I'd say don't wear it.
I wear my HRM all the time. Feels strange without it. Not sure the kind of chafing that people get with it, but I've been lucky and have had no issues, even though I chafe damn near everywhere else given the wrong situation.
I recommend that you wear it as soon as you can, so you can break in the fabric band and get used to it. Practice tightening the HRM while it's on you. Sometimes I find that the HRM strap stretches or comes looser (e.g. as it starts getting soaked with sweat), so a little shirt lift and a strap tighten is in order. If you practice it, you will know what to do and won't feel like you need to take it off (which will definitely mess with your race mojo).
I have raced with my HRM on, but I don't take note of the HR during the race - just out of interest to see what happened to it afterwards.
I wouldn't - you never know if it's going to be the annoying kind that slips down all the time or whatever, and you don't need that during a race!
I'm like pr100. I like to have the data after the fact, like I like to have splits after the fact. However, I wear mine very, very often--if yours is just coming in, I wouldn't wear it when it's so new.
Also, good luck on the 30K!
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek
Bad Ass
I wear it for every race.
"The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire."
It's always fucking hot in Miami!
I wear mine all the time, including what little races I run. I ran it recently in my first marathon and had some chafing from the strap above and below where the plastic transmitter sits. Never bothered me during the race. Good luck Sunday!
No more marathons
Just got mine for Christmas and have worn it on every run since then (I've been told I'm a bit anal).
For my workouts I have been running to HR targets along with pace targets.
My first race was today and I wore but only to get data after the race. Wanted to see what my max would be.

Raleigh, N.C. – For the second straight month, North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue trails her likely Republican opponent Pat McCrory by double digits. McCrory leads Perdue 52-41 in a head-to-head matchup, slightly worse for Perdue than last month when McCrory led 50-40. When Libertarian candidate Michael Munger is included, McCrory leads 48-37-6. Perdue's approval rating now stands at 32 percent approval and 51 percent disapproval, deteriorating further from last month when it was 37-48.
McCrory holds a shinier 40-24 approval rating, but with 36 percent of voters holding no opinion. In fact, a plurality of independents (43%) are not sure about their opinion of McCrory, with 37% favorable and 19% unfavorable. McCrory could either increase his lead or see it shrink as these independents begin to make up their mind about him.
Perdue suffers from high disapproval rates among independents (59 disapproval, 23 approval) and relatively low marks from Democrats with only 50% approval and 31% disapproval.
One way she might do that is to continue to draw contrasts with the Republicans in the State Legislature – voters indicate they have more faith in Perdue than the Legislative GOP to lead North Carolina by a 42-38 margin.
Despite continuing to toy with the idea of running for Governor, State Rep. Bill Faison continues to be a non-factor, trailing McCrory in a head-to-head matchup 47-27.
"Bev Perdue's chances have taken a step back over the last three months," said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. "In September and October she got her deficit against Pat McCrory down to 4-5 points. But since November she's gone back to trailing by 9-11 points. The one thing she has going for her is that the Legislature is even less popular, and running against their actions may provide her a path to victory."
PPP surveyed 780 North Carolina voters from January 5th to 8th. The margin of error for the survey is +/-3.5%. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews. PPP is a Democratic polling company, but polling expert Nate Silver of the New York Times found that its surveys in 2010 actually exhibited a slight bias toward Republican candidates.

text: Virginia Tech experts pinpoint MCHM odors By Ken Ward Jr. March 26, 2014 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Researchers at Virginia Tech believe they have pinpointed a form of the chemical MCHM that could be causing licorice-like odors to linger in the region's drinking water long after the January chemical leak that contaminated drinking-water supplies for 300,000 residents in a nine-county region of West Virginia.Using specialized equipment, experts at Virginia Tech's College of Engineering traced the odors to one of MCHM's two chemical structures, or isomers, and analyzed at what levels that form of MCHM could be smelled in the air and estimated what concentrations could be smelled in water.A team led by Virginia Tech environmental engineer Andrea Dietrich estimated the odor threshold for that form of MCHM at 7 parts per billion. That's 100 times less than the levels the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised were acceptable for people to drink. However, the CDC's 1-part-per-million number remains controversial, and Dietrich said the continuing odor problems have their own important impacts on residents."The toxicity aside, annoying odors have a psychological burden," Dietrich said. "Let's hope this chemical doesn't have any toxicity and the CDC is right, but if people are living with it for two or three months, it imparts a fear and a reminder, and it's a psychological burden. If you can smell it, it's still around."Dietrich is an expert on water quality and treatment, as well as on taste and odor assessments of water. After the Freedom Industries chemical leak, she received an emergency grant from the National Science Foundation to study MCHM and its potential impacts, and one focus of the Virginia Tech team is the coal-cleaning chemical's odor.On Tuesday morning, Virginia Tech issued a news release to outline some of its team's preliminary findings."Based on our increased understanding of the chemicals involved in the water crisis, the complexities and implications of the spill keep growing," Dietrich said in the release. "People are still afraid to drink the water; odors persist in schools, residences, and businesses; data are still lacking for the properties of the mixture of chemicals in the crude MCHM that spilled."The Virginia Tech findings come just one day after West Virginia American Water revealed new test results that show low levels of MCHM appear to be leaching from the filters at their Elk River treatment plant into drinking water the company pumps into the region's homes and businesses. Water company President Jeff McIntyre had said last week that the company didn't think the filters needed changed, but would start doing so on April 1, to address public "perception" that the filters were contaminated. When the new test results were announced, though, McIntyre said it was "not unexpected that MCHM effectively captured in the filter material may show up in trace amounts in water leaving the plant."In a news release, the water company downplayed the test results - showing MCHM concentrations ranging from 0.42 parts per billion to 0.60 parts - by noting that "one part per billion is equivalent to one drop in a large tanker truck or one second in 32 years."However, in an interview Tuesday morning, Dietrich said a more complete knowledge of long-standing scientific understanding about chemical odors and about various routes that residents could have been exposed to MCHM from the contaminated water supply might have been helpful in responding to the chemical leak.Well-established science, Dietrich said, supports the observations of residents who smelled licorice more readily in their showers than from their kitchen taps, and the reactions of public school cooks who complained of odors when they were operating industrial dishwashers. Better flushing guidance that warned residents to open windows or conducting air-quality tests when school employees complained of odors would have been helpful, Dietrich said. "One of the points of our research is you have to look at MCHM in its entirety - not just ingestion, but inhalation," Dietrich said. "Our goal is to connect the dots."Virginia Tech researchers used equipment called "olfactory gas chromatography" to independently measure the concentrations and odors of two isomers found in 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, the main component of the Crude MCHM mixture that leaked from Freedom Industries into the Elk River on Jan. 9.The 4-MCHM consists of two isomers, called cis- and trans-isomers. These isomers are forms of MCHM that have the same chemical formula but a very slight difference in shape that can have enormous effects on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the substance. Virginia Tech experts said only the "trans" isomer has the stronger licorice-like odor. In a procedure approved by the university's research review board, Dietrich and her team used a panel of non-experts to smell for MCHM in the air, and determined that the odor threshold for the chemicals trans-isomer is "exceedingly low," at a level of 350 parts per trillion by volume in the air. Using standard chemical formulas, the team then estimated the odor threshold in water to be about 7 parts per billion.Using a different methodology, the West Virginia Testing Assessment Project, or WVTAP, the independent team hired by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, previously said it had determined the odor threshold for MCHM was 0.15 parts per billion, or about 47 times lower than the Virginia Tech number.The WVTAP number, though, was for the Crude MCHM mixture -- not for pure 4-MCHM or for the pure chemical's trans-isomer. Also, the WVTAP research, by environmental consultant Michael McGuire, used odor experts who actually smelled water that contained MCHM. The Virginia Tech researchers used lay people to come up with an airborne-odor threshold, and then converted that to a number for odors in water.On Monday night, WVTAP issued a news release commenting on the Virginia Tech release that had not yet been publicly issued. Dietrich said Virginia Tech had provided a courtesy copy of its release in advance to Tomblin's office.In its release, WVTAP noted that McGuire's report offered a differing explanation for the licorice odors than the one outlined by Virginia Tech researchers."It is important to realize that the odor threshold reported by Virginia Tech was conducted on pure MCHM," McGuire stated in the WVTAP release. "However, pure MCHM has not been causing the licorice odor problem in the Charleston, WV, area." "We knew that 'Crude' MCHM which consists of a mix of odorous compounds had a sharper licorice odor characteristic than pure MCHM," McGuire said. "We chose to do our testing on the compound that the public experienced and which caused all of the odor problems."In his report, McGuire wrote that, "Minor components of the chemical compound mix called Crude MCHM could have an impact on the threshold concentrations experienced by panelists and consumers. We are still not certain that only the pure MCHM is responsible for the licorice odor in Charleston drinking water. More research is needed to determine the contribution of the minor components of Crude MCHM to the aesthetic responses experienced by Charleston residents."Virginia Tech researchers, though, say an important implication of their work is to independently measure the concentrations of the two MCHM isomers. "The licorice odor will be proportional to the amount of the trans-isomer, not the total amount of methylcylohexane methanol," Dietrich said. "While there may be a tendency to measure 'total methylcyclohexane methanol,' this could lead to misleading interpretations."Reach Ken Ward Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1702.

Dec 16, 2013 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterRon Warpness proposes raising the tax from 2 cents a gallon to 28 cents, in hopes the new revenue would be spent on alcohol-related problems.
Riverton Mayor Ron Warpness wants the Fremont County Commission to help in lobbying for a higher state tax on beer.
The county board and state legislators at the meeting Tuesday indicated they would provide some support on the issue.
Warpness proposes to raise the tax on beer from 2 cents a gallon to 28 cents. He hopes the new revenue would be spent on alcohol-related problems.
"There's more tax on one cigarette than there is on a gallon of beer," Warpness said. "We do not spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on drunk tanks for smokers; we do not have families beating each other up over a cigarette."
He pointed to Riverton's Center of Hope as an agency that would be able to receive funds from an increased and earmarked beer tax.
Warpness chose 28 cents a gallon, because that is the national average, he said. The state's tax on beer has not changed since 1935. In contrast, the tax on cigarettes is 60 cents a pack.
State Sen. Ray Peterson, R-Cowley, is drafting legislation similar to Warpness's proposal, the mayor said. Peterson's bill would set the tax at 20 cents a gallon and direct all revenue into the state's general fund.
Warpness would prefer income from the tax be earmarked for services that help with the social problems caused by alcohol, he said.
"If it doesn't get down to the people who need the help, I'm just not very excited about that," Warpness said.
Commission chairman Doug Thompson thought if the funds were not earmarked, there would be no guarantee the tax would help with alcohol's problems.
"I think the citizens of Fremont County are willing to ante up if they see a clear link between their money and something that's going to help the problem, but don't want to see their money go into a black hole," he said.
Conversely, commissioner Keja Whiteman supported the tax but not earmarking its revenue.
Thompson said the county board did not have time then to discuss a resolution supporting Warpness's proposal but would address the issue at a later meeting.
State Sen. Cale Case, R-Lander, said he supported raising the tax.
"I actually do support the tax, but I think there's a feeling (in the state Legislature) against the earmarking," he said. "I think there's a feeling an earmark for any narrow interest doesn't make it worthwhile to collect."
He thought directing revenue from the tax to the general fund and increasing funding for services related to alcohol problems was a better route.

1. Can any of you ladies who've done Hypnobabies honestly say you couldn't move your hand, open your eyes etc when you were in deep hypnosis (light-switch off)? I'm doing those CDs this week, and every time she tells me to test my eyelids or try to move my hand... my eyelids open and I move my hand. I just can't make them not work! Once or twice I've been feeling so relaxed I haven't bothered trying, but that's not really the aim; at least, it's not how she phrases it. Does it matter?
2. If it does matter, should I keep doing those CDs until I get it, before moving on to the next CDs? I'm on Week 2 and I'm only 25 weeks, so I have plenty of time before the birth.
3. SIL just used Hypnobabies for her birth, and found it helped greatly during the first stage. However, once complete she didn't feel a pushing urge for a few hours - they tried lots of different positions, played upbeat/angry music on her iPod, and even considered transferring to the hospital at one point. Eventually she started pushing half-heartedly, then properly, and the baby was born just fine. I ran into the midwife today and she believes the Hypnobabies chilled SIL out too much and hindered the pushing process.
I'm skeptical about this, for several reasons:
-I've never read about a similar phenomenon in any of dozens of Hypnobabies birth stories I've read
-Hypnobabies comes with a track specifically for pushing!
-I don't see why being relaxed would interfere with the fetal ejection reflex
-I know not wanting to push is a fairly common occurrence (complication?); I don't know what causes it, or if anyone knows what causes it, but it certainly happens to non-hypnotised mothers; so maybe it happened with SIL for the same reason?
Now, even if it's true, I don't see that it's a problem necessarily; a mother could use Hypnobabies for the first stage, then "snap out of it" for the second and be more "present" if necessary. But I'm just curious to hear if anyone has any thoughts on this. It was the midwife's first hypnobirth, and I'm wondering if she's just blaming Hypnobabies for the weird second stage because it's an unknown quantity for her. (FTR, SIL has said she couldn't have done the birth unmedicated without Hypnobabies, and the MW said she was the most relaxed mother she had ever seen - which is impressive, because "relaxed" is not a word I would normally associate with SIL at any time! So SIL isn't unhappy with the experience or anything. It was just a bit of a strange labour.)
4. WHY must the woman on the CD keep saying "deeper relax"? It's ungrammatical! It disrupts my calm every time I hear it, because I keep wanting to correct her to "Relax deeply" or "deeply relax". Like a splinter in my mind, driving me mad...
5. Is there any way to tell the difference between hypnotic anmesia and actually falling asleep? I've been so tired lately... I think I prepare to sleep as soon as the CD starts, which probably isn't ideal.
Arizona backwards is still Arizona! It's a palomino!
I have used Hypnobabies for 2 births.
1. It is YOUR hypnosis. You always have a choice. The suggestions are less that you can't move and more that you CHOOSE to be in such deep hypnosis that you don't WANT to move.
2. Keep going, re-read reminder #1 and keep going.
3. That is not a bi-product of Hypnobabies. I had very different pushing experiences with my two Hypnobabies births and of the many, many women using it that isn't the norm. There are many reasons for pushing not to start right away and since I'm not a doc/mw I can't say what happened there - but it isn't caused by being relaxed. :)
4. I believe she says, "deeper relaxed" not "deeper relax". But in general some of the things said on there are not grammatically correct but are repetitions of key phrases that cue your hypnosis and need to be consistent throughout the program.
5. I wouldn't worry about it. There are so many stories of people who "slept" through the program. Try it at a different time of day or fast forward through the induction in the beginning to make sure you hear each one consciously at least once.
It works! Choose to use it, trust that it's working for you and it will. It's totally worth it.
Oh and check out the Yahoo group:
I got my CDs second hand- and have no book to go along with them. I've been listening to them every night, I'm sure not "doing it right", I've been listening to them for a several weeks, going through the first 3 cds. I find that i usually fall asleep, I usually wake up enough to turn the player off, but then konk back out. I know that when i do hear one that I've slept through previously, it is familiar to me. I think that when i get a bit farther along, I'll try listening to them in the day...
I agree with supermama bug- I see the "tests" as an opportunity to surrender to the hypnosis- to choose to not want to be able to open my eyes. I could do it- but i won't.
It's not uncommon in undisturbed labours for there to be a break between active labour and pushing- it's not always stall, sometimes it's a rest
and the "deeper relax" bothers me too. some times it is deeply relax and variations, and i get the reasons why. I just try to not be critical of some of the little things that bug me, because i tend to do that, and I'm trying to let it go.
Together with DH 20 years, mom to a 5 year old daughter,
finally pg with #2 july 2/2011
I used Hypnobabies with all of my births. As for being able to move my hands or eyelids, I honestly didn't worry about it. I never really tried to test it that much and figured if I moved my eyelids or moved my hands to scratch or something then that was fine, because the itch would be more distracting than the moving would be.
I experienced the fetal ejection reflex for my last 3 births and Hypnobabies did not interfere with that at ALL. There was no slowing down, no "breathing down" the baby, once my body decided it was time then *poof* out went the babies. With DS2, DH barely had time to make it down half a flight of stairs from crowning to out in the tub. Up until that point I was just hanging out relaxing in the tub, had no idea I was even that close.

I definetly had the urge to push while using Hypnobabies. In fact, the pushing script came on and I told my husband that I wasn't ready to push yet so please turn off the c.d. However within about two minutes of him turning it off, I had an undeniable urge to push and the baby was out within about two pushes. Midwife didn't even make it in time, it all went so quickly.
As for the tests, I would keep going through with the program. I knew that I could open my eyes if I wanted to, but I felt so nice and relaxed I just didn't want to.
I slept through almost every script because I work full time and had a toddler at home. The program worked great for me and I still felt everything. The birth was quick and intense barely giving me anytime to really use my hypnosis techniques, but I know that they worked because I kept telling myself, "open, open, open" and my husband did the relax and peace cues with me and I was able to stay calm during the birth.
Hey, Smokering! Super Mamabug did a good job answering your questions, but I just wanted to "second" what she said.
1. The CDs are helping you to teach your subconscious mind what you want it to believe and experience with respect to birth. Everyone is capable of opening their eyes or moving their hand if they want to, but it is still beneficial to follow the suggestion that you can't. It doesn't matter if you keep your eyes closed because they really feel so heavy you can't open them or if you simply choose to keep them closed. Either way, you help your subconscious mind learn that you have chosen to accept the suggestions you're hearing on the CDs, and that is what you want!
2. As long as you have heard a CD 3 or 4 times over about a week, you are ready to move on. Each of the skills is reinforced in later scripts, so you don't have to feel like it is your only shot at "getting" that skill. You will continue to improve your skills even if you don't "feel" like you've gotten really good at practicing one particular skill.
3. Your SIL's experience is just a variation of birth, not anything to do with Hypnobabies. I did go about 3 hours between full dilation and feeling the urge to push during one of my births. But there were physical reasons that we understood later (baby high, some stool blocking his descent, nuchal hand, membranes of steel that didn't want to rupture, etc.) With my second Hypnobabies birth, I felt my body bearing down before thing got anywhere near intense enough for me to wonder if I was near full dilation. I had two waves where I felt my body moving the baby down, then experienced the urge to push for 30 seconds, and was holding my baby.
4. The scripts are written for your subconscious mind, and the point is hypnotic compounding of suggestions, not proper grammar. Much of what is said and how it is said are specifically designed to be easily absorbed by the subconscious. It's fine if your conscious mind is a little "bugged" by some of what she says and how she says it. The words Relaxed and Deeper are used routinely throughout the scripts as cues. "More deeply" isn't a hypnotic cue, and would not strengthen the suggestions being given. If it helps, you can think of them separately. Imagine them with more of a pause or a period in between them. Deeper. Relaxed. But it doesn't really matter, as long as you keep listening. Your subconscious understands it, and is absorbing it perfectly.
5. It really doesn't matter if you're in a state of hypnotic amnesia or fast asleep. Either way, your subconscious mind is alert and listening to the script. You should listen to each one without going into hypnosis by fast-forwarding through the relaxation part and doing some kind of busy work while you listen to the rest. That way you are familiar with what each script teaches you, and can sleep through it without guilt!
Also, I wanted to let you know that there are some FAQs at http://www.enjoybirth.com/faq-links.html you might find helpful.
Thanks people!
You know what my current nemesis is? Flies. I know that you don't have to actually "feel" the anaesthesia during the scripts where it's mentioned, but it really breaks the illusion for me when I suddenly feel a fly crawling on my leg. :p And then I either reflexively jerk to get rid of it (thus breaking the "lightswitch off" rule), or try to "hypnotise" the sensation away... always without success. Sometimes I remember to flip my lightswitch back on (haven't learned centre-switch yet), brush away the fly and flip it off again, but even that breaks the flow of things to some degree. I hate summer. :p
Yes, I didn't think Hypnobabies was related to the delay in pushing: I just couldn't see how that would work. What annoys me is that SIL's midwife seems convinced of it (I ran into her the other day), and will now probably "warn" mothers against the program, simply because this was her first and only experience with it. Oh well...
Arizona backwards is still Arizona! It's a palomino!
I played the CD's during my entire 12 hr labor and it was very helpfull to listen to the reassuring messages. My husband was super sick and he just got done working a 12 shift when I started labor so he was usless to me for being my coach so if you have the CD's available during labor I highly reccommend it. I had made my own peaceful mix tape to listen to but I never got around to putting it on, the Hypnobirthing CD's were all I needed.

Desire has advised that the 14/15-2 Rachel North well has reached a total depth of 10,013 feet (3,052 meters), and that preliminary data indicates that the well is an oil discovery. The well was drilled using the semi-submersible Ocean Guardian.
The company has run an initial suite of wireline logs and this together with the drilling data indicates that the well encountered a 1,145 feet (349 meter) gross interval from 8,599 to 9,744 feet (2,621 meters to 2,970 meters) of sands and shales with hydrocarbons of which 187 feet (57 meters) is net pay in multiple zones.
The thickest zone is 26 feet (8 meters) thick with an average porosity of 20%. Other zones are thinly bedded and lower porosity but require further analysis from additional wireline logs to establish reservoir potential. Further data will be collected to obtain more information on the reservoir quality, the hydrocarbon saturations and the fluid type to assess the significance of this discovery, stated Desire.
The Rachel prospect is located in Tranche D, and is operated by Desire Petroleum, holding a 92.5% interest; Rockhopper Exploration holds the remaining 7.5% interest.

PALERMO have signed Blackburn Rovers playmaker Mauro Formica - with the Argentine joining on loan until the end of the season.
The Italian top flight outfit have won the race to take the 24-year-old on loan until the end of the season, with Formica keen on starting a new challenge abroad.
The deal was finalised for the player this morning after a deal in principle was agreed to free up the wage bill to help Michael Appleton's search for fresh faces.
Spanish club Celta Vigo and teams from Turkey and Italy were also understood to be interested in signing Formica on loan, but Palermo have stolen a match on their rivals by making official contact with Rovers.
Formica, who has been out with a slight knee injury, was signed by Rovers from Old Newells Boys for around £3.5million in 2011.
The move is with a view to making it permanent in the summer.
French defender Gael Givet is also believed to want an Ewood exit, unless Rovers agree to his request for a pay rise.
Givet was one of the players who suffered a drop in wages due to relegation and has been discontent since.
Meanwhile Rovers boss Michael Appleton has stepped up his hunt for fresh faces after admitting he would be "very disappointed" if two or three new players were no added before the end of the month.
It is believed West Brom defender Craig Dawson was a loan target but the former Rochdale man is expected to opt for a temporary switch to Championship rivals Bolton Wanderers instead.
Rovers were yesterday linked with a swoop for Bournemouth front man Wes Thomas, after Appleton had him on loan at Blackpool earlier this season.
The Rovers boss failed in attempts to extend his loan spell at Bloomfield Road, but the Lancashire Telegraph understand Thomas is not on his current list of targets as he prioritises in other positions.
It is understood Appleton is looking to add further options in midfield, especially the wide areas, and in defence.
Summer signing Leon Best remains on track for a February return having missed the season so far with a cruciate knee ligament injury.

Fly fishing the Potomac! (??)
Greetings from Washington, DC! My dad got me my first fly rod for bass fishing in NE Ohio, an 8# rig that I recently resurrected for use on the Chesapeake Bay.
I recently decided to take (back) up this wonderful hobby. Turns out there are some great spots for some trout fishing within two hours of Washington. Who knew!
So that's where I spend most of my time, but I have a trip planned out to the Sun Valley, ID area for the middle of August. VERY excited!
Glad to be here, and I'm looking forward to the great information and friendly people on this forum.
Re: Fly fishing the Potomac! (??)
I'm in Maryland, 25 min from DC. I took a trip out to the Gunpowder yesterday, which was great. It looks and feels like a western stream and has native brown trout. I caught 6 or 7 in about 3 hours. They were small (6-10 inches), but I saw one big one (probably 15") and there are said to be plenty in there over 14" including a few around 20". You should check it out, it's probably a 1.5 hour drive from DC. There is a fly shop there called Backwater Angler that will help you out.

1. Fido may look adorable in his new superhero costume, but that cape won't necessarily keep him out of harm's way. Dressing up your pet for Halloween can be harmful. Costumes should not constrict the animal's movement, hearing or sight, or impede their ability to breathe, bark or meow. Also, it may be helpful to try on costumes before the big night. If your pet seems distressed or shows abnormal behavior, don't bother.2. Before you and Fido participate in any Halloween activities, take a closer look at his costume and make sure it does not have small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke on. Also, watch out for ill-fitting outfits which can get twisted on external objects or your pet, leading to injury.3. Putting make-up or face paint on your pet can be harmful. Paints could potentially irritate their skin, or may be eaten. Even make-up that is non-toxic could cause stomachaches or worse.4. Candy bags are strictly for the enjoyment of trick-or-treaters, not your pet. Chocolate in all forms, especially dark or baking chocolate, can be very dangerous for dogs and cats. Give your pooch their own Halloween candy by treating them to their favorite doggy snack. If you do suspect that your pet has ingested something toxic, please call your veterinarian or your local control center immediately.5. Keep an eye out for decorative edible items like Halloween pumpkins and candy corn, when participating in this year's festivities with your pet. While these are considered to be relatively nontoxic, they can be harmful, causing stomach upset in pets who nibble on them.6. Do not take your pets trick or treating. It's possible that your dog could get spooked by a ghost or goblin and a dog bite or fight could occur.

READY IN: 35mins
Recipe by Nasseh
This is a vegetarian dish served over rice that originates from Kenya.
Top Review by Sous Chef Sue
Followed the recipe except added a whole can of black-eyed peas. Thought it had a really nice flavor, but that the tomatoes were a bit mushy for our tastes, so perhaps will add them later next time. As leftovers, I sprinkled feta cheese over and thought it really punched it up a notch. Will definitely make again. Thank you!
