Cystic Fibrosis
Sweat test
My baby is - for all the test but the sweet test he is not sweating and they keep having me come back with him so they can keep trying to get him to sweet. they said that is needs answers before they pull the feeding tube out off him what is the sweat test do and how can it tell you anything. He is now a month old and that is the only test that is not work and reading. Can you tell me what the sweat test is and how it works please. thanks for your time
The sweat test you refer to is a test to help make the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is a chronic lung disorder that also causes children to have problems gaining weight among other symptoms. I would refer you to the website www.cff.org as an excellent resource about cystic fibrosis.
The sweat test collects sweat from the forearm, lower leg or back (in babies). It uses a chemical called pilocarpine along with a small electrical current to stimulate the sweat glands to produce sweat. This can be difficult in a baby to collect enough sweat to obtain a reliable result. This happens a lot in babies under one month old. The lab will measure the amount of salt in the sweat and this will help make the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.
The sweat chloride should be done only at accredited CF centers. Going to the above website will direct you to the nearest accredited CF center. It is a good idea to talk to the doctors who keep ordering this test to have them explain this test to you as well. Though we do not know the aspects of your child's care it sounds like an appropriate test to order and it is always good to let your doctors know that you have questions so everyone can have an open line of communication.

THE Dorset Fire Authority and Dorset Fire and Rescue Service have paid tribute to former chairman David Fox.
Mr Fox, who was awarded an OBE in 1992 for political and public services, died in the early hours of the morning on May 6.
He is survived by his wife Norma and their two sons.
In a 30 year career on Dorset Fire Authority, including eight years as chairman between 2001 and 2009, David oversaw many changes within the fire and rescue service, including the move from Dorset Fire Brigade to Dorset Fire and Rescue Service.
Chief Fire Officer Darran Gunter said: "I am extremely saddened to learn of David's passing.
"For over 30 years David was hugely committed to the Fire and Rescue community both within Dorset, Bournemouth and Poole and also involved in wider national leadership issues.
"He was a passionate and caring man and will be missed by us all."
The flag at the service's headquarters in Dorchester was flown at half-mast in David's honour.
Mr Fox was also a former Conservative Councillor for Christchurch Borough Council from 1983 to 2011. He was a Dorset County Councillor from 1975 to 2013 and acted as leader of the council during that time.
He was made OBE for political and public services in 1992 and appointed Deputy Lieutenant for the County of Dorset in 1996.
Councillor Rebecca Knox, chairman of Dorset Fire Authority said: "David was one of the first county councillors I met when I was elected in 2009.
"His passion for the fire and rescue service was evident and he immediately inspired me to accept his invitation to become part of the Dorset Fire Authority.
"His dedication had been evident as I met with many councillors and officers both in Dorset and nationally who wished him well.
"On behalf of the members of Dorset Fire Authority, our thoughts are with his family and friends.
"David's contribution will be remembered."

The bravery of Gen. Abel Davis of the Illinois National Guard, a colonel during the world war at a crucial point on the Front on July 4, 1918, was given honorable mention in the intimate account of Major Henry S. Hooker, acting adjutant of the 33rd Division at the time of the taking of Hamel, as an event which was celebrated by the Allies all over Europe as significant of the entrance of the American army into the actual battle.
Major Hooker, speaking in connection with the statement of Earl Haig at the luncheon to American Legion delegates in London last Friday, described the action of the late General George Bell, Jr. in leaving the division in the British sector despite orders that they be withdrawn.
"Four companies." Major Hooker ?tated, "about 1,000 men went over under the command of Col. Abel Davis, and that proved the value of America's new army as ### had proved the value of our regular army in actual combat."

Police go the extra mile on fitness
Police go the extra mile on fitness
Almost three months after the introduction of revised fitness standards for Police officers, 97% of all staff required to have a current Physical Competency Test (PCT) certificate have achieved the mark – the organisation's best ever result.
Alan Cassidy, General Manager Human Resources and Organisational Development, said the current PCT certification rate was the highest ever recorded.
"This is an excellent result given the high fitness standards Police expects of its staff and reflects our commitment to ensuring every officer is deployable to the appropriate level."
Mr Cassidy said the remaining 245 staff that did not have a current PCT included 65 who had not yet passed the test for fitness reasons, while the remaining 180 comprised those who were injured, ill or on leave of various types.
As of 1 March, all constabular staff (Constables, Sergeants and Senior Sergeants) are required to hold a current PCT in order to be operationally deployed. Commissioned officers are strongly encouraged to attain their certificate, with Police Commissioner Peter Marshall, 59, among those to hold a certificate.
Mr Cassidy said that for many, the final deadline had proved the appropriate motivation they needed to take the steps required to bring their fitness up to par.
"There are many examples where individual officers have embraced the challenge, including one who built his own PCT course at home and practised until he passed, while in the case of another officer, the PCT assessment led to the identification of a previously unidentified medical condition that could have had more serious health implications if left untreated. Another officer, 69, also recently passed after overcoming an injury and is the oldest serving member to have a current certificate."
Mr Cassidy said remedial fitness plans were in place for the small number of staff who were still to attain their PCT, in order to ensure they were deployable. Until they attained the necessary certification, they would continue to serve in a range of non-frontline roles.
"This will have no impact on our service to keep the community safe, nor detract from our ability to respond to crime, crashes and other incidents," Mr Cassidy said.
"While we want to ensure every officer is fit for duty, the small number yet to meet the requirement represents a very small percentage of the total number of constabulary staff that are required to hold a current PCT. However, we are confident that with the appropriate support they will get up to the mark."
Mr Cassidy said given that Police constabulary staff were fitter than ever before, depictions by some media of overweight and unfit officers quaffing donuts were simply not reflective of a modern New Zealand Police service.
"The images portrayed by some media have far more to do with Hollywood stereotypes than the reality of policing in New Zealand in 2013. We currently have extremely high levels of fitness among our constabulary, and we remain absolutely committed to ensuring every one of our officers remains fit, healthy and able to do the job."

so this guy was the first one to tell me that we need to hang out again soon. a week later I asked him if he wanted to go get lunch and he said he had work but how about Saturday or Sunday. I told him to just let me know whatever works best for him and he didn't reply so I assumed he was just going to text me later in the week. as it was approaching Friday though, I sent him a text asking him if he was still OK with grabbing lunch. he still didn't reply. and I don't know why he wouldn't because even if he didn't want to hang out, he could have made up a lie and said something came up. it wasn't like it was an awkward question or anything. I don't know if I should just drop it or text him again and just casually asked him what happened. I don't want to be pushy but what if he never got the text or he replied and I didn't get it? those are slim chances but I do have the worst luck. even though I do have a crush on him, we are just friends and that's how I come off; I most def wasn't too forward or anything
Why won't he text back?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
may be he is much busy with his work.. or may be he has habit of not reading texts much like me..
so don't be worried with it.. ask him again either by a phone call or by personally meeting him., and 1 more thing, don't text dis tym.. wish you luck.. :)00|00|0

After vetoing three similar bills in recent years, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has now signed a sweeping ammunition regulation bill saying he believes it will "promote public safety." Regulating guns hasn't worked, but suddenly regulating ammunition will? Yet again we see the politicians acting like they're "doing something" rather than addressing the real problems leading to violence – largely in urban areas.
Given that this is California legislation, the provisions of the bill are fairly onerous:
- All ammunition sales will have to be face-to-face.
- The Law makes it a crime to knowingly sell or give ammunition to someone who cannot possess it legally, including felons, gang members and the mentally ill.
- As of February 2011, all ammunition buyers will have to provide a driver's license or other state identification and a thumbprint.
Welcome to the new front in gun rights legislation. For years, those opposed to the right to self-defense have focused on outlawing firearms. Now that court case after court case has upheld the individual right to keep and bear arms, they're going after other targets. Bloomberg has attacked FFL's and now this is the first step in attacking ammunition. I expect that this law will eventually be challenged, but until then it will serve as a "model" to gun grabbers across the nation.
Until next time!!!

Daily Sitka Sentinel
Assembly Votes for Sales Tax Cap HikeThe Assembly on Wednesday approved on introduction increasing the sales tax cap to $1,500, starting on July 1.
City officials don't know how much additional revenue would be captured as a result of the higher cap, but say there is still a ways to go to balance the budget and set aside funds for infrastructure.
The meeting Wednesday was a carryover of the regular Tuesday meeting, which ran from 5 to 10:30 p.m. The meeting Wednesday ran 6 to 9:30 p.m.
The Assembly meets again 6 p.m. today in the school district office board room at Keet Gooshi Heen Elementary to discuss school and Assembly budget issues.
The motion to approve the increased cap passed on a 5-1 vote, with Pete Esquiro, Mike Reif, Mim McConnell, Thor Christianson and Mayor Cheryl Westover voting in favor. Terry Blake voted against.
At least two more readings will be required for the ordinance to pass, since the Assembly made substantial changes to the ordinance as presented.
The ordinance goes into effect on July 1 of this year. The Assembly approved an amendment that would grandfather in sales at the $1,000 cap if the sales were made before April 1, or the implementation date of the ordinance, whichever is later.
A motion to set Sept. 1 as the effective date failed on a 3-3 vote, with Blake, Westover and Esquiro voting in favor, and McConnell, Christianson and Reif voting against.
Those speaking in favor of the amendment said the later date would be easier and more fair to businesses which had made decisions and sales based on the $1,000 cap.
"I feel very strongly about Sept. 1," Blake said. "It would save a lot of confusion."
Those arguing against Sept. 1 as the effective date said that the city would lose the benefit of the $1,500 cap during the busy summer of fuel sales and purchases of higher-priced items. They said it would be possible to accommodate those who had already made sales based on the $1,000 cap by grandfathering them in.
"There's a huge difference between the two (dates)," McConnell said. "We need to think about why we're doing this. We're doing this because we need the money."
The effective date will be July 1, but an amendment passed that will grandfather in at the $1,000 cap any agreement for a sale reached prior to April 1, or the date the ordinance passes, whichever is later. The agreement must conclude by Oct. 1, 2012. That amendment passed 4-2 with Westover and Blake opposed.
The Assembly also rejected a proposed change that would have disallowed the practice of "bundling" charter sales to family members as a single sale. But Assembly members voted to keep the old policy in place and consider a sale to a family as a single sale.
Another proposal, by McConnell, was rejected that would have increased the cap by $100 a year for the next five years. The proposal provoked a strong reaction from Theresa Weiser, president of the Sitka Charter Boat Operators Association.
"You've got to be kidding, Mim," Weiser said. She said she was already "a long way from comfortable" with what she considers to be subjective language in the ordinance. Weiser suggested elimination of the fish box tax, if McConnell's ordinance were to pass, as a compromise.
"We're struggling," Weiser said. "It's not good times with the economy. To have this hanging over our heads ..."
Seth Bone, another charter operator, also testified against the amendment and said he believed the 50 percent increase in the cap was a good compromise.
The vote was 0-6 on McConnell's amendment.
Also testifying from the public was Jennifer Robinson, Chamber of Commerce director, who said the city should be working on a long-term comprehensive plan for the budget instead of short-term changes.
The Assembly also postponed action on a number of proposed administrative changes after it was clear that more work was needed before moving forward.
Fish Box Tax
In other business, the Assembly passed 4-1 on first reading an ordinance to redistribute the fish box tax proceeds to give more to the harbors and less for fisheries enhancement and the general fund.
Reif, a charter operator, recused himself, saying he had a bias against the tax and wanted to be fair to the public.
The new distribution is 60 percent to the harbor department, 20 percent to the general fund and 20 percent for fisheries enhancement. The previous distribution, after the last time the Assembly changed it in 2009, gave 30 percent to the harbors, 40 percent to the general fund and 30 percent to enhancement programs.
The fish box tax, which went into effect in 2007, assesses a $10 tax on every box of fish taken by charter fishermen.
The original proposal, co-sponsored by Westover and Esquiro, was to eliminate funding for enhancement. Several spoke against that idea, including board members from the Sitka Sound Science Center which receives funding from that source.
An amendment passed to change the distribution to 60-20-20 on a 5-0 vote, and the ordinance was approved 4-1, with Christianson opposed. He said the fish tax was approved by voters and he was hesitant to change voters' intent. Christianson said it made sense that part of the proceeds benefit the people paying for the tax.
"That they're contributing to enhancement is a good selling point," Christianson said.
Westover said her goal was to help cover some of the extra city costs incurred for dumping fish waste from the harbor cleaning stations, but said she was amenable to the proposed changes to the distribution formula. She said everyone uses the harbor system, so the increases to that department are warranted.
Charter operators pointed out that they do not use the cleaning stations, which are only for unguided sport anglers.
Speaking from the public, Nancy LeClerc Davidson, Sitka Sound Science Center board member, spoke against the changes to eliminate funding for enhancement. She said small fisheries enhancement programs, such as the one at SSSC, are not eligible for funding from the salmon enhancement tax; the enhancement allocation provides an opportunity for charter fishermen to contribute to enhancement programs; and that both charter fishermen and enhancement programs benefit from the tax as approved originally by voters.
Esquiro, former manager of Northern Southeast Regional Aquaculture Association, asked SSSC board member Scott Harris a number of questions, including whether the center's hatchery was working toward self-sustainability to the point that the enhancement funds would not be needed. Last year, the hatchery received $33,000 from the fish box source.
Harris said that the SSSC hatchery has a plan for long-term sustainability, knowing the fish box funds may not be available indefinitely. He said the organization has been able to leverage the fish box proceeds into more funding from other organizations outside Sitka. Harris said receiving the fish box tax proceeds is a valuable show of city support for SSSC's hatchery.
A few Assembly members stated their preference for eliminating the fish box tax entirely. Weiser said that would be her organization's "first choice." She spoke in favor of keeping funds for enhancement but said in general the tax was "not very visitor friendly."
"We would like to see it be eliminated, and show visitors you're trying to be more visitor-friendly," she said. Weiser said Sitka is the only community in the state with such a tax.

You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

DevOps is under attack because developers don't want to mess with infrastructure. They will happily own their code into production, but want to use platforms instead of raw automation. That's changing the landscape that we understand as DevOps with both architecture concepts (CloudNative) and process redefinition (SRE). Rob Hirschfeld's recent work in Kubernetes operations has led to the conclusion that containers and related platforms have changed the way we should be thinking about DevOps and...

When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it's simply not feasible to do so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with ease of configurability is a formidable challenge. When dealing with multiple application or transport protocols, you would be...

Notes for CATHERINE BROYLES: From "Thomas Wieland (Wayland) and related lines": (http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~wayland/wayland/pafg02.htm#104)
Catherine BROYLES [Parents] 1 was born about 1730 in , , Virginia. She died on 22 Jun 1831 in , Madison Co., Virginia. Catherine married John WAYLAND about 1751 in , Culpeper Co., Virginia.
See "The Broyles Family", by Dr. Arthur Leslie Keith. This is a 800 page unpublished manuscript, the original of which is in the Newberry Library, 90 Walter St., Chicago, IL. Dr. Keith died suddenly in 1942 at the age of 68 before he could publish his work.
Keith says that she married John Wayland as early as 1750. She apparently lived to be nearly 100. She appears in the land tax books of Madison Co., VA in 1830, but died there 1831.
In 1814, Catherine Wayland is described as holding 212 acres four miles est of the Madison Court House - evidently part of the Thomas Wayland patent. John Wayland bought 64 acres of Adam Broil on August 19, 1762; on January 22, 1772, he sold 200 acres to Adam Yager; in 1779, he sold 205 acres to George Crigler. In 1751, Catherine Wayland was the sponsor for a child of Nicholas Crigler. John Wayland or Catherine Wayland was sponsor for children of Nicholas Broil from 1757 to 1775. Catherine Wayland appears frequently on the Hebron Church communion rolls from 1775 to 1811. John Wayland's names appears with her name on these rolls occasionally.
They had the following children:
F i Catherine WAYLAND M ii Henry WAYLAND F iii Elizabeth WAYLAND M iv John WAYLAND 1 was born about 1761 in , , Virginia. He died about 1807 in , Madison Co., Virginia. M v Cornelius WAYLAND F vi Mary WAYLAND F vii Margaret WAYLAND F viii Anna Magdalene WAYLAND M ix Joshua WAYLAND F x Sarah WAYLAND F xi Eleanor WAYLAND

The worst of the worst occurred when the nation was shaken by the recent shooting death of Chicago honor student Hadiya Pendleton days after she performed at President Obama's Inauguration. But unfortunately, that was not the end of tragedy in the windy city.
Two teenagers, Janaye McFarlane, 18, the mother of a 3-month-old baby boy, and Frances Colon, 18, preparing to graduate from Roberto Clemente High School, were both killed Friday in Chicago as President Obama spoke on gun violence in the neighborhood of Hyde Park, according to ABC. Colon is the third student from Clemente to be killed in 2013.
Frances Colon was aspiring to be an attorney one day, picking out her class ring, and getting ready for prom. But all of that was destroyed when she was caught in crossfire in Humboldt Park on Chicago's West side. Jose Colon passed his daughter's crime scene and didn't know that it was his daughter laying on the ground:
"I saw a white cloth on top of body did not know that was my daughter," Jose Colon said.
Janaye McFarlane was a new mother and her little sister was actually in attendance at the President's speech in Hyde Park. She learned of her sister's death after leaving the speech. Her father, Herbert McFarlane, moved into the suburbs to avoid these type of tragedies. He never expected to be a victim of this type of crime as his daughter's life has been robbed from him:
"All this gun violence going on, you never think it would be your child," said Herbert McFarlane. "This is the hardest thing for me in my life…I'm in Lake County to get away from violence and now it happened in Lake County where I moved to."
The irony of the President speaking in Chicago on gun violence as these girls were killed is unfathomable. If Republicans don't agree with the gun laws being revised, certainly they will get behind a stronger crime crackdown that includes mandatory life sentences for those who kill someone in a gun-related crime. What do you think? Watch the report.

PHILADELPHIA - Until Nick Foles, Dennis Dixon or someone else is named the Eagles' starting quarterback, Michael Vick considers it his job to lose.
One day after new coach Chip Kelly declared it an open competition, Vick made it clear Wednesday that he intends to be in the lineup when the Eagles open the 2013 season in September.
"Honestly, I still look at it as this is still my team and it's still my job," Vick said after the team's minicamp workout at the NovaCare Complex. "I know there's going to be competition every day, but that can only make me a better player. I'm confident in myself and my abilities. That's the mindset I have to have. I'm very excited to be a part of this."
Kelly made it clear Tuesday that no one has an inside track to be the starter.
Vick, Foles and Dixon all are taking reps with the starting offense, despite the fact that Vick and Dixon - who played for Kelly at the University of Oregon - are more versatile and better runners than Foles.
"I think they are all good quarterbacks," Kelly said. "I think people are putting too much into, 'Does this guy run? Does this guy not run?' We've had guys at Oregon, Darron Thomas took us to a national championship and a Rose Bowl and rushed for 200 yards during a 14-game season. Sometimes there's a misconception of what I'm looking for in a quarterback. I'm looking for a quarterback that can help us score points and win games. If we have to throw it 50 times, we'll throw it 50 times."
Vick was impressed enough with Kelly - and vice-versa - to re-sign with the Eagles rather than request his release and seek another team via free agency. He essentially signed a one-year contract Feb. 11 that could be worth as much as $10 million if he reaches various incentives.
Based on his early performances in Kelly's offense, he may be in position to reach those goals. Although the practices have been closed to the media, Vick couldn't contain his excitement after Wednesday's workout.
"After the practice I had today, I'd say this offense fits my skill set very well," he said with a smile. "It's very up-tempo, very fast-paced and I feel like I really have a chance to do well with it.
"(The offense) is one of the reasons I wanted to come back to Philly for another year. The city has always been great to me and (owner) Jeffrey Lurie has always been awesome and outstanding. The new coach was also a determining factor in my coming back here to give this another shot."
Staying healthy is a big key with Vick. It's something he has been unable to do for most of his career.
He missed six games last season after sustaining a concussion against Dallas. In 2010-11, rib injuries forced him to the sideline for seven total games. Vick turns 33 on June 26, which will make him the oldest player on the team.
"Because of my experience, I think it's important for me to be one of the leaders here," he said. "By being the best I can be in the weight room, in the film room and on the field, I can show them that I am a great leader."
Extra points: The Eagles' regular-season schedule will be announced at 8 p.m. today. They will play home games against Arizona, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Kansas City, the New York Giants, San Diego and Washington. They will travel to Dallas, Denver, Green Bay, Minnesota, the Giants, Oakland, Tampa Bay and Washington.

RollerCoaster Tycoon
Review by TablesandChairs4
"Very enjoyable, but could have used some touch-ups"
Introduction: Rollercoaster Tycoon is a port for the Xbox from PC. It is a real-time strategy, where you are the owner of a piece of land, and your job is to turn it into a thriving theme park. You have bank loans, a staff, and a plethora of ride designs at your disposal.
Gameplay, 9/10: Although I know this kind of game isn't for everyone, the experience for me was great. The numerous different scenarios, challenges, etc. are great to counter-act some of the boredom that could result from periods of doing nothing. There are really only two times when you'll be doing nothing, though:
-when you're completely finished with a park, and
-when you're out of money, and are waiting to make enough to build something
When you first play this, you most probably will be very confused with the controls and might not like your first impression of it, due to the graphics and annoying sounds. Stick with it, though, or turn down your volume, or you'll be missing out on some great gameplay. The learning curve of the controls isn't too long, but maybe for your first two parks, you'll still be learning. It's mainly trial and error, or right-off-the-bat-memorization. You'll need to know all the controls to play the game effectively (this may seem obvious, but think about some games you're good at, and realize that there are some buttons you rarely use).
As far as maintaining the park goes, that's a never-ending experience. You deal with rain, ride safety, ticket prices, ride prices, and more. You need to make as much of a profit as you can, and so you have to balance the ticket prices with the ride prices, the safety of the rides (so the customers will want to ride them), how popular a ride will be when it's raining, staff support (to clean the vomit, fix the rides, and prevent broken benches). Maintaining the park is what will keep you glued to the game, as the involvement level is enormous. You can do just about anything with the park you want.
The game is challenging in several different ways. The creation of good rollercoasters will probably be difficult at first, but you'll get used to what makes one good, and soon you should eventually be able to build an above average rollercoaster on almost any amount or type of land. For ticket prices, this is fairly straightforward. If you have a fairly large park, you can change them, monitor the reaction for about two minutes, and then fix any problems you saw in that time. If you've played Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 (for PC) before, though, you'll probably find income pretty easy to get. In RCT2, you can only change the ticket prices or the admission price, not both. In RCT1, you can change both. This doesn't directly affect the challenge of RCT1, though, until you play and become good at RCT2. Just a note.
And another note: As you begin to realize some of the limits of the gameplay, you'll begin wishing for more, and if you've played RCT2, you realize you can do a lot more (mainly in relation to scenery). If you go into some of the ''real parks'', you may come across some features that, after completing the entire set of original scenarios, I still have yet to figure out how to use (or even if I can use them).
Some scenarios can be very difficult. For the most part, in the original scenarios, you start off with a very simple task, and move on to increasingly more challenging ones. The two expansion packs included with the game are even more difficult, and can help to bring some challenge into a game that you thought you'd mastered.
Story, N/A: This game doesn't have any set story. You can, however, make up your own story, like the story of your park. As you become increasingly larger and more popular, you may sometimes think that you created this out of nothing, and use the story of your park to make a reputation to live up to.
Graphics, 5/10: The graphics, in comparison to the power of the Xbox, are terrible. The people are like little sprites, 2-D animations of pixilated people. The rides are probably the redeeming quality of the graphics, as they aren't too bad. Every ride is plainly obvious what it is, and since you built it, it should look good. The camera is always an overhead shot of the park, from several hundred feet up, so I guess you can't expect everything to look perfect, but some of the objects really should have been sharpened a bit.
Sound, 4/10: I'll just sum it up really quickly: The sounds of everything but people are pretty realistic. The sounds of people and sometimes music from rides can be incredibly annoying. I hope you have a CD player near your Xbox, so you can have sound without having to hear the sound from the game.
Play Time, 7/10: This is the original game for PC, plus its two expansion packs. It will take you quite a while to complete it. It should easily yield enough play time for the price you paid.
Replayability, 3/10: There are some scenarios that are just plain fun. You'll go back to them, maybe several times, to do it again. I can't see how you could find every scenario that fun , though, and so I see why anyone would complete the entire game more than once.
Final Recommendation: If you like strategy games, buy it. It's worth it. If not, give it a try and rent it once. If you absolutely hate strategy games, then, don't rent it, because my word isn't going to sway you. Overall, I say rent it once. You should find out by the end of the rental whether this is your type of game.

Each year about this time, while my girlfriends begin bemoaning the end of summer, I anxiously await the advent of fall.
It's not that I don't love lazy summer days spent poolside with my kids (I'm only human, after all). Nope, it's the clothes; the excitement of dressing for fall is unparalleled. Fall is, without a doubt, my favorite season of style.
But in recent years, I've found myself feeling more jaded than inspired by the "new" fall trends. For example, experts are predicting ponchos, MOD, tartans and the like as hot for 2011. Seriously? Maybe these trends would seem interesting if I were 18 again and hadn't worn the same trends in several falls past.
And so, while I still love fall style, and even believe it can be adapted for Florida weather, this year I'm embracing every cut and color that flatters me, trends be damned. Because what I've learned is that the true measure of style is how great one looks and feels, not how many fads one fits into an outfit.
Double up on the good stuff
A classic style tip is to never buy a new outfit that doesn't look better than the best thing you currently own. That's a high bar, but a great concept to help temper your shopping impulses. I'll up the ante and encourage you to buy multiples when you find a piece that really flatters you.
You may opt for a few of the same color or pick different colors in the same style. If you've put in the time and found a piece that really complements your body, why walk away with just one? I recently purchased three Cynthia Rowley dresses that fit my shape ideally in fuchsia, black and purple. I dare someone to criticize me for looking too good in the same dress in three different colors.
Stock your wardrobe
Eggs, milk, organic multi-grain bread. These are a few staples in my pantry that we never run out of and, in a pinch, can be whipped up into a meal. Similarly, your wardrobe should be stocked with staples that you can call on. For fall, nude closed-toe pumps are a must. They match everything and are my go-to shoes with dresses that would otherwise be hard to coordinate shoes with (like the aforementioned fuchsia shift). The key is to shop for a pair that matches your skin tone as closely as possible; the idea is for the pumps to appear to be an extension of your legs.
Diamond studs (real or faux) are the one item of jewelry I regularly turn to. My husband gave me a pretty pair of estate diamonds one anniversary; often I eschew wearing them for a big, fake pair of honking studs I picked up at Target.
And for fall, invest in several pairs of black tights. I like my tights like my mascara, the thicker and blacker the better. Tights can easily turn some of your favorite spring and summer dresses into transitional pieces worth repeating. And making the most of the clothes you already own is a classic mark of great style.

"A Cup of Grace for the Day," a new Christian life book by Evinda Lepins of Yucaipa, was released in June.
The book is published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises and is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at tatepublishing.com or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.
Lepins said her own life experiences have been her motivation for writing, speaking and ministering to others. She said her heart's desire is "to transparently lead others to sort through the junk in their lives that has held them back from the abundant life that Christ died to give them."
She is president and founder of Chicklit Power Ministries, a nonprofit ministry providing interactive workshops intended to help people thrive in relationships and deal with their hurts, habits and hang-ups.
Lepins also hosts a Blog Talk Radio show with co-host Steve Atkinson.
Her other books are "A Cup of Encouragement for the Day," "A Cup of Hope for the Day" and a novel, "Back to Single."

… In 1988, Richard Lenski, an evolutionary biologist now at Michigan State University, launched the longest running experiment on natural selection. It started with a single microbe–E. coli–which Lenski used to seed twelve genetically identical lines of bacteria. He placed each line in a separate flask, which he provisioned with a scant supply of glucose. The bacteria ate up the sugar in a few hours. The next day, he took a droplet of microbial broth from each flask and let it tumble into a new one, complete with a fresh supply of food. The bacteria boomed again, then starved again, and then were transferred again to a new home. Lenski and his colleagues have repeated this procedure every day for the past 24 years, rearing over 55,000 generations of bacteria.
I first reported on Lenski's experiment 12 years ago, and since then I've revisited it every few years. The bacteria have been evolving in all sorts of interesting ways, and Lenski has been able to reconstruct the history of that evolution in great detail, thanks to a frozen fossil record. Every 500 generations Lenski and his students sock away some bacteria from each flask in a freezer. They can thaw out these ancestors whenever they wish and compare them to their youngest descendants. Biotechnology has improved drastically since 1988, giving Lenski an increasingly powerful evolutionary microscope. When he started out, it could take months to identify just one of the many mutations that arose in each lineage. These days, he and his colleagues can sequence an entire E. coli genome for a few hundred dollars and find every single new mutation in its DNA.
Four years ago, I wrote here about one particularly fascinating episode in the evolution going on in Lenski's lab. It started in 2003, when the scientists there noticed something odd in one of the 12 flasks. It had become much more cloudy than the others. In a microbiology lab, that's a sure-fire sign that the bacteria in a flask have experienced a population explosion.
At first the team suspected that some other species of bacteria had slipped into the flask and was breeding quickly. But they found that the flask was packed with E. coli—descendants of the original ancestor that Lenski had used to start the entire experiment. Somehow the bacteria in this one flask had evolved a way to grow much faster than the other bacteria.
The scientists determined that the bacteria had made a drastic switch: from feeding on the glucose to another compound, called citrate. Citrate is an ingredient in the broth where Lenski's E. coli grows. It's not food; instead, it helps keep the minerals in the broth in the right balance for E. coli to grow.
To a microbiologist, the emergence of E. coli that can eat citrate in a lab is deeply weird. E. coli typically can't feed on citrate in the presence of oxygen. Some strains of E. coli can draw in citrate, but only if there's no oxygen around. To make the reaction work, they have to pump out another compound called succinate at the same time. The ability of E. coli to feed on citrate in the presence of oxygen is extremely rare; it occurs when E. coli picks up the necessary genes from other species. In its normal environment (inside us), natural selection must not favor these mutants. Scientists have been studying E. coli in labs for over a century, making it the most intensely studied species, on Earth (as I explain in my book Microcosm). But in all that time, there has been only a single report of a citrate-feeding E. coli in a lab, back in 1982.
The inability of E. coli to grow on citrate is so stark, in fact, that microbiologists use it as a way to tell whether bacteria they come across are E. coli or not. It was thus a surprise to Lenski and his students to find a flask of E. coli suddenly feeding on citrate. The bacteria had not picked up the genes from another species. Instead, their new ability must have evolved after Lenski started his experiment with a single E. coli. This was not simply a case of natural selection enabling a species to do something better. This was a case of doing something new.
Zachary Blount–then a graduate student in Lenski's lab and now a post-doctoral researcher there–led the investigation into this strange new development. Blount and his colleagues took away the glucose and found that the E. coli could thrive on citrate alone. They then defrosted the bacteria's ancestors and fed them citrate to figure out when they acquired the ability. They found that a tiny fraction of the bacteria around generation 31,000 were able to grow very slowly on the citrate. Over a couple thousand generations, they got better at growing on citrate–so good, eventually, that they took over the flask and turned it cloudy.
Blount and Lenski first reported the evolution of the citrate-eaters in 2008. Now, after another four years of painstaking research, they're back with a new paper that details what happened down at the molecular level. It's a fascinating look at how new traits evolve by duplicating and recycling old parts. …

I am a petite, fairly thin (by American standards) Asian woman in my late 20's. While my physique is athletic, I lack the curvature of a female; in fact i tend to hold most of my fat in my 'flanks.' Therefore, I decided to undergo liposuction on May 29th around my waist to give it some curves...let's be honest, I am/was (?) built like a boy. I was told just short of 500cc's were taken out. The procedure was rather easy– I was about and walking in less than 2 days and discomfort is minimal, EXCEPT the compression garment.
I am wondering just how important the elastic compression garment is? It's been just under a week, and the bands seem to be creating lumps where the bandage is not taught. I am trying to minimize sitting or bending over, but the garment is about 12" in height: ribs to hips And so I am wondering if the lumps are going to affect the outcome; and if there's a way to minimize this.

Implanted computer chips for humans have been approved by the FDA. This controversial new bit of technology was given the green light for medical practices as a way to instantly tell the physician your medical history. The good news about this is that you might never need to fill out those repetitive forms while you're in the waiting room again.
Then again, without the forms, you'll be left with those magazines that hardly anybody reads unless you managed to have an ebook handy.
Now with the scare of technological privacy unleashed when Edward Snowden released secret documents proving once and for all that our government is spying on us, this implanted computer chip for humans may just open up the floodgates of protest. Who is to say it's just your medical history that's being recorded on the chip? Could we be getting tracked with it as well?
The implanted chip will contain little more than a microscopic UPC code if you will, which will allow doctors instant access to a secure database where your medical history is stored. The device itself fits in a tiny capsule about the size of a grain of rice, which is injected with a syringe into the arm with no stitches needed.
One day the gov will track us by computer chips implanted in us. Tooday they track us by Twitter
— B (@beersandblunts) January 5, 2013
The implanted computer chips for humans mirrors what has already been used with around a million pets, which may or may not be used to help track the animals down if they happen to run off in the name of adventure.
The device also sounds very similar to something that was approved in 2012. The previous version was an ingested pill that you take alongside your medication, which marks the time you took it and records your vital signs, using a patch on the skin that you scan and use with a smartphone app. Other than that, it was said to do the same thing this new device can, though more immediate.
The implications of the implanted computer chip for humans look a tad risky, especially in the light of the NSA leak.

By Iain Rogers
MADRID (Reuters) - Swansea City forward Michu says being called up by Spain filled him with childlike joy but at the same time he knows convincing coach Vicente del Bosque he deserves a place in the team will not be easy.
Del Bosque drafted in the 27-year-old after the withdrawal of injured David Villa but with the stiffest of competition in a glittering squad Michu may struggle to play in the holders' final two World Cup qualifiers against Belarus in Palma de Mallorca on Friday and Georgia in Albacete four days later.
Michu is one of a host of gifted goal-scorers vying for a place in the side, including Manchester City's David Silva and Alvaro Negredo, Barcelona's Pedro, Chelsea's Juan Mata and Real Madrid's Isco.
Michu, who joined up with the rest of the squad in Madrid on Tuesday, has plenty to offer with his strength in the air and an ability to arrive in the danger areas at the right time perhaps matched among the current Spain contingent only by Barca playmaker Cesc Fabregas.
He has made 43 appearances for Michael Laudrup's Swansea side since joining from Rayo Vallecano in 2012 for what has proved a bargain fee of around 2 million pounds and his performances in the Premier League and the injury to Villa have finally prompted his first call-up by Spain.
"Every Spanish footballer dreams of this and it's so difficult," Michu, whose full name is Miguel Perez Cuesta, said on Swansea's website (www.swanseacity.net).
"Few people can wear the shirt of the best team in the world," he added.
"There are a lot of players missing, but there are great players in the squad. Let's see if fortune is with me and I can play, although I'm already grateful to be called up.
"It's the maximum to which a footballer can aspire. The national team is the best in the world - it's a privilege.
"I'm enjoying it like a kid, these are the best players in the world and it will be difficult, but I'll try to take advantage of the opportunity."
Undefeated Spain are in a strong position at the top of European qualification Group I with 14 points from six of their eight matches.
France also have 14 and like Spain are guaranteed at least a place in the playoffs, but have played one more match than their southern neighbours and their final game is at home to Finland on October 15.
Arriving at Spain's training camp in Las Rozas outside Madrid on Tuesday, centre back Sergio Ramos said he expected a cautious strategy from the Belarussians, who are bottom of the group with four points from seven matches.
"We know Belarus, they close ranks well at the back but they can also surprise you," Ramos told reporters.
"What we must not lose is our excitement, our commitment and our philosophy," added the Real Madrid captain.
Whether Michu can fit into Spain's possession-based playing style remains to be seen.
He said in a recent interview he feels at home in England, where, he noted, the pace of games is more frenetic, players have more space and there are more scoring chances.
"What's more, I like football where teams don't hold on to the ball too much," he added. "Better one touch than two. Sprints, attacks, a crazy rhythm."
If he does get playing time over the next week for Spain, who grind opponents down with their relentless control of the ball, he may have adjustments to make. (Editing by Ed Osmond)

South African swimmer, Chad le Clos, won South Africa's second gold medal after winning the men's 200 meters butterfly at the 2012 London Olympics last night. He narrowly edged out his idol and defending champion, Michael Phelps.
Nicely done Chad..nicely done.
He takes South Africa's gold medal tally to two after the first was scooped by Cameron van der Burgh who won gold and broke the world record in the men's 100m breaststroke over the weekend.
"That's been my dream ever since I was a little boy," Le Clos told BBC Sport.
"Michael is my hero. I just wanted to race in the final and now I've won it. I can't believe it, I really can't."
Phelps led throughout the race but tried to glide to the wall after his final stroke and was out-touched by Le Clos." [BBC Sport]
Outstanding stuff.
Phelps, who incidently is now the most successful Olympian of all time with 18 medals, was humble in defeat and showed his true class by sending the following tweet to Le Clos.
Proudly South African.

Department, Alaska Zoo Team to Provide Safe Haven for Wolf Pups Plucked from Kenai Wildfire

Ken Marsh, Information Officer, (907) 267-2892
Department, Alaska Zoo Team to Provide Safe Haven for Wolf Pups Plucked from Kenai Wildfire
(Soldotna) — Responding to a report of an animal den with living occupants found in the smoldering debris of the Funny River Horse Trail Wildfire on Tuesday, May 27, Alaska Department of Fish and Game Wildlife Biologist Jeff Selinger didn't know what to expect.
Firefighters who happened upon the scene had detected movement within, but the den was dark and the animal—or animals—inside could not be identified. Once he arrived at the fire-line site some seven miles up Funny River Road, the 6-foot-tall Selinger was unable to squeeze into the narrow, root-rimmed den. A much smaller firefighter was recruited to crawl in and five live wolf pups—four males and a female, all black in color—were handed up from the shadows, their eyes squinting in the afternoon light. A sixth pup was found deceased.
Selinger determined that ongoing firefighting activity made the return of adult wolves unlikely, so with the pups' immediate health and long-term future in mind, he contacted department staffers in Anchorage who regularly handle the care and placement of orphaned wildlife. By the time the pups arrived in Anchorage, a temporary home and veterinary care were waiting at the Alaska Zoo.
The pups are currently in quarantine and their health is being monitored. Initial examination indicated the pups are about five weeks old and have sustained injuries from porcupine quills. Meanwhile, arrangements for permanent placement in authorized zoo or wildlife facilities are being made; ideally, the pups would stay together.

Editor's Notes: Heath McCoy is the writer of the highly praised book entitled Pride & Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling and is also a writer for the Calgary Herald newspaper.
A Cochrane-based wrestling promoter is trying to recreate the glory days of
Stampede Wrestling this weekend with a "supercard" to be held in his town.
Devon Nicholson, 23, is bringing in classic Stampede villains Abdullah the
Butcher, whose bloody bouts used to sell out the Stampede Corral in the
'70s, and the Honky Tonk Man, a crooked Elvis impersonator whose schtick
brought him fame in the '80s, for the May 12 show to be held at the Spray
Lakes Arena. Other big names on the card include a brute known as Rhyno and
Calgary resident Lance Storm, both of whom have grappled in wrestling
kingpin Vince McMahon's WWE.
One of the night's biggest matches will feature Harry Smith, 19-year-old son
of the late "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith. Harry, who's been taking his
lumps in Stampede Wrestling rings since he was 14, has been recruited into
the WWE, where he's set to make his world television debut in June. His
Cochrane match with T.J. Wilson, the high-flying "Stampede Kid," will be his
last Stampede Wrestling appearance.
In its classic era, Calgary's Stampede Wrestling was a Western Canadian
institution that attracted thousands of fans across the prairies each week.
But in 2006 the promotion is struggling, running two or three shows a month
in local legion halls before meager crowds.
Surprisingly, no members of Calgary's Hart family are behind the supercard.
Stampede Wrestling is synonymous with the Harts as Stu Hart was the
promotion's founding father back in 1948. In the '80s, when Stu retired, his
sons ran the business until Stampede shut its doors in 1990, unable to
compete with McMahon's billion-dollar enterprise. Bruce and Ross Hart
started the family business up again in the late '90s but without the
television exposure of the past, when beloved newscaster Ed Whalen was the
show's host, its been a losing battle to generate even a fraction of the
support that Stampede Wrestling once had in the community.
In the last year the Harts have stepped down, handing the reigns over to a
family friend, Bill Bell. But it's Nicholson that's running the Cochrane
Hailing from Ottawa, Nicholson came to Calgary five years ago to work
for Stampede Wrestling. He's moving on now - he has a tryout with the WWE
next month - and before he leaves he wants to be a part of one unforgettable
card. As he's financing the gig himself, renting an arena in Calgary wasn't
feasible, so Cochrane's Spray Lakes Arena became the venue.
Nicholson didn't grasp how important Stampede Wrestling's legacy was until he
began advertising for the show, putting fliers in shop windows in Calgary
and Cochrane. "So many people were inviting me into their shops and telling
me stories," Nicholson says. "They'd bring me into their office and just
want to talk about Stampede Wrestling. That's the thing that makes me happy
I'm putting on this show. . . . I wish I grew up with something like that."
However, Nicholson doesn't think today's Stampede Wrestling can ever achieve
the success it enjoyed in its heyday. "You need to be on TV," he says.
"People need to be able to follow the stories. And you need to bring in
stars every week. You need money to do that and the money's not there." But
for the Cochrane gig, Nicholson was able to raise funds to bring in a few
stars, including his idol, Abdullah the Butcher, who he's set to face in the
When contacted at his Atlanta, Ga. home, the 69-year-old Butcher fell into
character. "That little kid challenged me... and when I get finished with
him, he's gonna wish he never met me," he rasps. "I'm bringing the heavy
stuff back to Calgary. I'm gonna show 'em that Abdullah The Butcher still
Abdullah has been in the wrestling business for 46 years, frightening fans
around the world. But he says Stampede Wrestling was one of the best
territories he ever worked in. "All the big names in the business came out
of, or through Calgary," he says.
Given Abdullah's age, some may be skeptical that he can still deliver in the
ring. Nicholson, who saw the Butcher in action recently in Puerto Rico, has
no such concerns. "He's no senior citizen. He's one of the scariest men you
can ever imagine," Nicholson says. "He might not be able to do all the moves
anymore... but he's still got the forks and the fire and the thumb-tacks. I
don't think I've ever seen an Abdullah match that wasn't a blood bath."
But whether the Cochrane card recaptures the glory of yesteryear or not,
promoter Bill Bell is determined to keep Stampede Wrestling alive for as
long as he can. He will continue running shows every second Friday at the
Ogden Legion Hall.
Most weeks Bell loses money. "The odd show I'll make a $200 profit, but the
next week I'll lose $1,200," he says. But it's a sacrifice he's willing to
make. "If I don't run the shows, no one will," he says. "It will die, and
the Stampede Wrestling name has always meant too much in this community. My
dreams have been dampened. But I'll carry on as long as I can."

For lunch I made my Sunny California Salad recipe. I also had an apple with raisins and pecans later in the afternoon.
I really wanted to try something new for dinner so I scoured the kitchen for inspiration. I had ground lamb, fennel, carrots and a spice cabinet just waiting to be explored. I decided to make a carrot and fennel slaw with Persian spiced lamb. Kevin manned the stove while I made the slaw and when we sat down to eat, both of our bellies were happy to enjoy the fruits of our labor. We each threw in a small sweet potato on the side because we like to eat...a lot.
After dinner I had a small snack bowl with sliced banana, raisins and coconut milk. I still feel like my nighttime snack is usually more out of habit than hunger (damn, those habits...they really are hard to break) so for the remainder of my Whole30 I've decided to try and go without my after dinner snack. I don't usually eat dinner until close to 7:30 or 8:00 anyway so there is really no reason to eat again. I just like my little snack time!
So I haven't gotten too much into my thoughts about this Whole30 and I will save most of it for after my 30 days have been completed, but I do feel much more in tune with my body. I can more accurately gauge which foods give me digestive issues, such as too many nuts or eating too late in the evening. I have also forced myself to open up the possibilities of what I consider "snack" foods. I used to stick mostly to fruits, nuts, nut butters, and Lara Bars. Now I will have jerky, veggies and salsa, lunch meat or even leftovers from a previous meal. I feel like it has taken me almost completing this Whole30 to realize much of this, which makes me wonder what I will do when I am through. I think I will continue to eat this way, but maybe with occasional exceptions, like actually being able to taste test the Paleo treats I am making to enter in the Kentucky State Fair culinary competition or sneaking a bit of 90% dark chocolate into the movies (shhh, don't tell). I don't think foods like almond butter and dark chocolate will sneak back into my diet as daily staples. I do think that I will continue to listen more closely to my body so I can feed it foods that make it feel happy and healthy.
But we can talk more about that later. For now, let's talk about this Persian Spiced Lamb recipe...
