Blocked duct?

hi ladies
Since last night, around 10pm i have had a very tender spot on the right breast (right hand side , near the nipple. Extremely painful to touch. i suspect a blocked duct so i have been expressing in the warm shower, extra feeds, offering the right side first, changing feeding positions including on all fours with baby laying down underneath me (so gravity assists)..ummm and massaging. also, warm compresses before feed and cold compress after. It doesnt seem to be getting worse, pain wise, but there is now a large red spot there and is still tender. I dont have a temp.. im wondering if anyone has some advice on what to do to stop it progressing to mastitis? and when do i know if it is mastitis? will the pain get worse? always a temp? advice greatly appreciated!! thanks #2Posted 29 April 2012 - 06:07 PM
Poor thing, I just had a shiver remembering the pain of blucked ducts, excruciating.
You're doing all the right things. If in the morning you the red spot has grown or you develop a temp I'd go to the doctors. Let them know you suspect mastitis, usually gets you an appointment quicker. #3Posted 29 April 2012 - 06:21 PM
Thanks Mercurial
I had one with my first baby too but not this painful and cleared up a lot quicker, i avoided mastistis so far im away on holidays too so such bad timing!! grrrr. hope its gone by tomorrow! 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |

airing your dirty laundryMarch 30th 2012 2:46 pm[ Leave A Comment | 11 people already have ]
Furriends, mom needs your help again. She's diving right into her next story for her magazine, and it's all about a problem kitties don't like to talk about - the LITTER BOX. Leave A Comment | 11 people already have Nopes! Sorry buddy, I'm a master pooper in my box! I construct amazing architectural towers over my poopies and I never miss the box! The only time I've EVER done anything outside the box was when I developed the crystals, I peed on daddy's laptop bag (no laptop though! Phew!) so that they would know something was wrong. Worked really well, they took me right to the vets cause they KNEW something was off because I'm an AMAZING pooper! hehehe! MOL, I just like the hardy har har. MOL I am also a pooper extraordinaire. My sister, Rachael who is no longer on Catster and I have issues about ours when it's not CLEAN. Therefore, use the newspaper underneath instead to do our business. Then paw the door to cover it up, mol! Which the Family find quite strange. If that counts? Other than that we don't complain much about it and use as and when we have too. Just now, like in the Spring when it's warmer here in the UK. We spend alot more time outdoors. So, it's very rarley used during the day apart from when we're house bound at night.................. I don't got an issue with my box - it are ok, but sometimes there are much more interesting places to leave my stink! We just wanted to say hi, too! No poop problems with us. Except we wish Fearless would use the box out in the cattery instead of digging little holes in the ground around the perimeter... Hey!!! Do I talk about your personal stuff??? Anyway, I sometimes use the box indoors, too, but if I'm in the cattery I like to pretend I'm a wild cat again - rooowwwrrr! My brother Albie has litter box issues...he urinates on our dining room carpet! We've been told he has cystitis, but even when that is under control he continues the bad habits he has picked up while being sick...we've tried a lot of different tips and he continues to do it! I had, ummmm, I mean a "friend" had some litter box issues. Turns out that she, a beautiful blue eyed snowshoe girl, had really bad allergies that also caused me, I mean "her", to have constipation. It sure stunk (literally and figuratively!). When her bottom hurt, she stopped using the litter box! Instead, she found soft places like a towel under the bed and the kitty tent. Luckily, with some help from the vet (including laser treatments to help her sore little bottom!) and changes in kitty litter and box location, all is well! If you need any help, I'm sure I could connect you with my, I mean HER, mommy :) I am a mancat and Tiny is too some times I gotta mark my spots to let him know who the top man cat is. Tiny is secure in who he is and so has no marking issues but me well.................mom as has changed all the nice drapes in to cheap curtains that she can put in the washer. The only time I do not use the box is when I feel the need to spray the curtains or the patio door. I do seem to re act to changes in the hosuehold like when we added Ivey to the family or back when Alley went to the bridge and now that Boo has gone to the bridge and if mom and dad are on vacations..............no non illness just a need to mark the area. oh sorry we meant to say "no known illnes" You know I have serious litter box issues... and while it may be embarrassing to meow about it may help other kitties come forward. My biggest issue is when I poop it doesn't all go in the litter box. When I turn around to cover it one last bit comes out which mom calls a nub. We can't seem to figure out if it gets stuck to my medium haired fur - which mom has tried to trim - or if I just leave the box too soon to cover. I didn't have this problem as a kitten, and the vet said no medical issues. I think part of the problem is big sister Lindsay taught me this great trick...she balances with all four paws on the thin edge of the box, which is quite the sight, so now I do that too! Maybe I'm not as good at balancing and can't hold that position long enough? Mom thinks someone should invent a litterbox with a wider edge for cats like us! She's thought about putting a piece of wood to make a wider edge, but our bathroom is so small. She calls me her 300 thousand dollar cat since we need to move to a house with a basement or a second bathroom to put my box in. Sigh. I'm very lucky to have such a caring mom cuz a lot of people could be mean to a cat like me... |

Yahoo! has announced a major re-organisation of its management in a bid to simplify its structure and take on Google.
After the company's dissapointing performance this year, as well as the leaked 'peanut butter' memo last month, the news doesn't come as a big shock. But many in the blogosphere are surprised that under-fire CEO Terry Semel has retained his position.

Google has allowed a case against a click-fraudster to be dismissed, amid speculation that the search engine giant was reluctant to open up its click fraud procedures for public scrutiny.
The charges against Michael Anthony Bradley, who attempted to extort $150,000 from the company by threatening to generate millions of false clicks through his 'Google Clique' software, were dropped on November 22.

From January 2007, unique users will replace page impressions as ABC Electronic's mandatory measurement metric, according to a new ruling from JICWEBS.
Page impressions are easy to manipulate and don't necessarily give a true idea of a site's popularity. For example, figures can be manipulated by splitting content over several pages, forcing the visitor to read a number of pages per story. Some of the biggest online publishers do this.

Have my fellow gamers here been following this story? On the one hand it makes me laugh, but then I shake my head and go WTF?
For those who missed it/Non-gamers, here's the short version: Nintendo announced the launch details for it's upcoming WiiU console late last week. And as part of the announcement, they also revealed the exclusive release of the now Nintendo published Bayonetta 2.
Bayonetta was apparently a very highly reviewed game that sold approximately a dozen copies when it was released for the 360 and PS3 a couple of years ago. Which lead to both Microsoft and Sony passing on the sequel, allowing Nintendo to step in and save it from development hell.
And of course the internet exploded. 360 and PS3 fanboys went into paroxysms of rage. Never mind that the game wouldn't have seen the light of day otherwise. Nintendo had stolen their game and they were pissed. Cue an outpouring of whiny self-entitlement, not to mention honest to god death threats against the developers.

Hi Punch Team,
So after all the negativity surrounding our day and nights, is it safe to say that we may have discovered the power of positive thinking? I am also wondering if we need to come up with something positive about ourselves or others? Because it is so much easier to make ourselves look better at the expense of looking others so bad, right? It is only human nature to do that even sometimes unknowingly with no bad intentions at all ! in order to get just few other things off our chests about a whole range of other issues, which might have built up over time unknowingly once again!
If we were all truly aware of our wrong doings straight away, then we would be bound to be called geniuses, right? It is not so simple in reality though, because it is always very hard to admit to the fact that we were wrong! And that would also be giving away something negative about ourselves, right? Then again looking and acting all perfect all the time can get a bit tiring! So what is answer? Being and thinking positive is simply not enough! And why? Because since we are all human beings thriving on social interactions, we also need friends who are supportive, caring and positive to share our thoughts and dreams, unconditionally!
People mostly talk about money making the world go around somehow! I personally would like to think that having the right friends who will stimulate our minds, challenge us with their opinions as well as will give us the kind of support with their attitude and positive thinking, just happen to be priceless. Enough of the doom and the gloom, it is time to surround ourselves with the energy such people in our lives! It certainly does wonders for our physical and mental well being! Kind regards to your editors.

It is interesting that while the events in Perth were more violent with less people involved that the Sydney event has gotten more publicity. Oh wait, it's because it was a bunch of white drunken youths getting their fight on with cops and ambos.

Guess ill add my two cents worth here in regards to the Muslim protest on the weekend.
The global Muslim response to the video has been nothing sort of stupid, but that's what happens when you get people who listen to other people and act on their words. In all instances a few thousand people took it upon themselves to tarnish a whole country, In Libya there was a protest rally saying sorry to the Americans but the damage had already been done.
My Muslim friends on Facebook were shattered, they rarely post about incidents, but they couldn't hide their disgust at the idiots which took over the protest in Sydney and gave Islam in Sydney another black eye.
The parent of the child who had that behead sign should be investigated by the child authorities and charged, it was one of the worst images I have seen in a long time.
The protest itself wasn't the issue for me, worse happens every weekend or at any union or G20 protest, it was just the nature of it by thugs looking for something to get angry at.
Robert S McCormick says:
"Julia Gillard warns of job cuts if Abbott becomes PM" - ABC-TV News24 now!
Ever since the ALP won office in Canberra Gillard, Swan et al. have been crowing about how Unemployment in Australia is the envy of the world, the Unemployment Rate at 5.2% is the lowest & on & on they go.
Ever since Gillard became PM there have been constant reports of businesses going broke, closing down, with 1000s of job losses. The over-protected Motor Vehicle manufacturing sector, despite 100s of millions of Taxpayer's money being poured into it, have laid off more thousands, Qantas has scrapped jobs & given them to other countries..
Yet the Unemployment Rate remains, if not static, low. How come?
For a long time Australia had State & Territory ALP Governments from coast to coast, We have had an ALP Federal Government since 2007.
During that time we have seen Federal, State & Territory Public Services numbers explode by 10s of 1000s. Public Servants are non-productive.
Yes, some work very hard & provide vital Services to the public.
The problem is that it is not in the Service Industries such as Health & Education where those massive increases have occurred.
Ironically it is in those two areas where stupid, un-thinking, Conservative Premiers of Queensland, NSW & Victoria have made, or are proposing, massive job cuts!
So thanks to the ALP recruiting 10s of 1000s of new Public Servants the Unemployment figures are being manipulated to give a good result.
simonfromlakemba says:
On a better note, looks like this coming election may not be as bad as first anticipated?
Just came here from Bolts blog. He' sh*tting bricks looking for any excuse as to why this is happening but leaves out the logical one. People don't like Abbott, never have, never will. The Coalition is void of any policies and any rational thinkers on the front benches and are a very conservative party which leaves the people in the middle leaning to the left.
With the amount of free kicks Labor gives the Coalition it shouldn't even be a contest at this point.
TheRealDave says:
I'm avoiding the 'Muslim Protest' articles….I'm sick to death of the same old shit everytime something like this happens.
You get a minority bunch of primtive throwbacks arguing with another minority bunch of primitive throwbacks. Its the same racist laden crap flung back and forwards.
What I would like to see is the police given stronger powers to break stuff like this up as soon as it starts getting ugly. Use social media and lots of cameras to record everything and then release the footage to the public to help identify these tools and come and get them in their workplaces, at their homes etc days later Use the public disgust at these idiots actions to do your work for you and concentrate on minimizing the damage and ensuring public safety on the day.
And I agree, whoever allowed their child to hold a banner like that up needs to have the child taken away from them. That was the most horroific thing to come out of that 'protest'.
Rosie says:
The Koalas are well and alive at Linear Park, Adelaide. This morning while out on my morning walk one big healthy Koala walked past me about a metre away. My presence didn't bother him/she, kept walking towards a gum tree and started climbing. I just wished I had plenty of time to just stand there and watch because I reckon it wasn't the right type of gum leaves he/she was going to get stuck in. I reckon it was going to make its way down again in search of the right gum leaves! After a long sleep I think! What a life and how lucky for those of us that use Linear Park for our daily walks etc!
This could be another positive - Gillard Labor have caught up to the Coalition according to Newspoll. Can we please have an Election now!

Dot says:
To all you conservative keyboard warriors out there that think the push to dump Abbott and install Turnbull is only in the minds of Labor voters, take note of today's Age poll.
Turnbull is the preferred opposition leader (63 per cent to Abbott's 30 per cent). Worse for Abbott, Turnbull is preferred by Coalition voters (53 per cent to 45 per cent). Abbott's approval in this survey is down 3 points, and his disapproval has hit a new record, 59 per cent.
Say goodby to Abbott and prepare to be led by the nose back to the centre.

People are very selective when they complain about foreign workers coming here.
if it wasn't for foreign workers the shopping centre, resturaunts and take-away food places would never open in karratha.
Or is it only about the high paid mining paid you have some sort of sense of entitlement too….hypocrites
Robert S McCormick says:
Reportedly, the man responsible for that 13-minute film, which few have seen & certainly none of the protesters in Pakistan, Libya, Egypt or any Australian city have seen, is a Egyptian Citizen currently living in the USA.
Why then, are those protesters not burning the Egyptian Flag. After all it is one of Egypt's citizens who has committed this so-called offence not an American one?
Oh! I get it! Egypt is a mainly Muslim society so that country & its flag are exempt from criticism.
Cancel the Australian Citizenship of any of those protesters who were not born here but who have taken out our Citizenship & deport them. They are not fit to be Australian Citizens.

Many people can work the sticks as soon as they arrive, then Others need coaching.
The first thing you need to do is hold the sticks loosley without holding them tight like you are riding a harley. Then create a triangular pattern with the sticks. This greatly helps !!!! Keep the sticks 5-6 inches apart in the front, and then put them 10-12 inches apart in the back. Now when you practice start in the kitchen simply because there are many other metals in the kitchen. Make sure the sticks are not swinging backwards as this will make the operator totally lost to targets.
Now...take the fronts of the sticks and lower them about 1/2 inch. Now you are at the correct angles to start operating the sticks. If you feel your sticks are are crossing too easy. Simply pull your elbows back from your body. If you feel they are crossing to hard...then pull your elbows out from your body until you are crossing over your targets the same every time. When the sticks turn you will now notice that one stick is now longer than the other. Make sure and turn your body with them so they are now both the same length again. You will repeat this procedure until a target is located. When the target is located...the sticks will cross over the target. If you take one step, and they uncross chances are the target is right under your feet. If you takes 5 steps to uncross...the target could be up to 5 steps deep in the ground.

Police are 'fully aware' of Exeter cannabis protest
Posted: August 21, 2013
|Police have confirmed they will monitor an event that will see more than 100 Exeter campaigners smoking cannabis in a playing field this weekend.
But officers said that, while all participants taking part will be breaking the law, they recognised the protester's right for a peaceful protest.
The Devon branch of The United Kingdom Cannabis Social Club are organising the public 'smoke out' to "raise awareness of the benefits of cannabis and to address the bias and misinformation so often seen in the mainstream media."
The event, which according to its Facebook page, is likely to have more 100 people attending, is this Saturday at Flowerpots Playing Fields.
One of the organisers, Daryl Sullivan, said the event is designed to show the 'absurdity' of the drugs illegal status.
He said: "These are gatherings where people get together and openly smoke cannabis to prove that it can be done sensibly and without harm to anyone, and to show the absurdity of its illegal status.
"We also provide leaflets and information regarding cannabis, the harms of prohibition and why we believe a legal, regulated system would take away many of the problems we see now."
The 'smoke out' will start at 1pm and run until around 6pm with anyone who "believes that prohibition of cannabis does not work and causes more damage than cannabis ever could" invited to attend.
Police said that enforcement action would be taken if anyone is suspected of supplying cannabis, if children are around or if objections are received from members of the public.
But Insp Julian Pezzani, who is charge of neighbourhood policing in Exeter, said: "The police in Exeter are aware of the proposed planned event for the weekend and fully respect the right to peaceful protest.
"Possession of cannabis is an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act and we will be looking to engage with organisers at an early stage around their intentions."

Skinny jeans are a closet staple, so we've gathered our six favorite pairs that you need to invest in for Fall. Whether you're on the market for a classic wash, a great go-to pair of black jeans, or something more vibrant — like a print or a high-wattage hue — we've got you covered. Watch today's installment of FabSugarTV to see which skinnies made the cut.
7 Days, 7 Ways: How Celebs Style Up Their Skinny Jeans
Skinny jeans are a constant in our wardrobe rotation, and they can be styled in hundreds of ways. Now, we're seeking seven perfect ways to re-outfit our skinnies for a full week's worth of looks — and these styled celebs serve as the inspiration. From Monday through Sunday, we're out to revamp our denim, and you can too. Just click through to see the very chic celebs and shop the easy-to-wear looks.
Are Skinny Jeans Bad For Body Image?
Skinny jeans and leggings are some of the biggest trends I see when I'm out, and being the health-minded person that I am, I'm wondering how you ladies feel about this fad (which doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon). Are these skin-tight pants encouraging women to feel bad about their figures, or do you think they're a great tool to motivate women to meet their fitness goals?
Will Health Risks Keep You Out of Your Skinny Jeans?
We've heard that skinny jeans can cause tingling thigh syndrome, but in news that will surprise absolutely no one who wears skinny jeans (I even sit half-lotus while meditating in mine!), Consumer Reports physicians say that wearing skinny jeans could also give you bladder infections, yeast infections, blood clots and even fertility problems!
"Once you have those symptoms," NYU assistant professor of neurology Dr. Keith Stiller says with a straight face, "it's probably not a good idea to for you to keep wearing those clothes." (Ya think?) What about you — will anything come between you and your Calvins skinnies?
Skinny Jeans Causing Tingling Thighs
Skinny Jeans Causing Tingling Thighs For healthy, normal-sized woman, skinny jeans are not a welcomed fashion statement. Aside from paining a woman's self-esteem and making many feel the need to lose weight, new research shows that skinny jeans also cause physical pain. Intrigued, see what Fit has to report.
Skinny Jeans Causing Tingling Thighs
For healthy, normal-sized woman, skinny jeans are not a welcomed fashion statement. Aside from paining a woman's self-esteem and making many feel the need to lose weight, new research shows that skinny jeans also cause physical pain.
Constant pressure from the tight denim jeans cuts off the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve create the nerve condition meralgia paresthetica, known in layman's term a bit more descriptively as "tingling thigh syndrome." The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve runs from the outside of the pelvis and through the thigh. When compressed, it causes a numb, tingling, or burning sensation along the upper leg.
Tingling thigh syndrome is more common in construction workers who wear heavy work belts, pregnant women, or those who are obese. Over the past few years though, more and more healthy women are complaining of symptoms due to their tight skinny jeans. High heels, often worn with these jeans, compound the issue since they tilt the pelvis forward, increasing pressure on the nerve. Fortunately, there's little risk for causing permanent damage, but the sensations may inspire women to switch to looser-fitting pants. Tell me, have you ever experienced numb or tingling thighs from your jeans?
Celebrity Style: Ciara
R&B songstress Ciara showed up at BBC Radio One in London looking ferocious in skinny gray jeans, barely pink pocket tank, and slick, white blazer. Notice how the crinkly texture is unfussy while exotic Louis Vuitton sandals and sleek sunnies reveal her inner diva. What a cool juxtaposition — I like to call it fashion yin yang.
Signs Your Skinny Jeans Don't Fit
Atomic muffin top doesn't seem to be this gal's problem, but she might want to go up a size. At least she's got some helpful, caring friends who will help a sister out (of her ridiculously tight jeans)!
The Look For Less: Kova & T Light Gray Skinny Jeans
There are gray jeans and then there are light gray jeans. Though I like the former, I am obsessed with the latter. The soft hue looks especially smashing with cognac pieces. I melt just thinking about it. My hunt for the perfect pair got me to these Kova & T Sandy 98 Skinny Jeans ($198). Compared to other brands, the price tag isn't brutal. Still, why spend more when I can spend less?

Escaping the correction for body surface area when calculating glomerular filtration rate in children. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 18481062 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
PURPOSE: (51)Cr ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid ((51)Cr EDTA) clearance is nowadays considered as an accurate and reproducible method for measuring glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in children. Normal values in function of age, corrected for body surface area, have been recently updated. However, much criticism has been expressed about the validity of body surface area correction. The aim of the present paper was to present the normal GFR values, not corrected for body surface area, with the associated percentile curves. METHODS: For that purpose, the same patients as in the previous paper were selected, namely those with no recent urinary tract infection, having a normal left to right (99m)Tc MAG3 uptake ratio and a normal kidney morphology on the early parenchymal images. A single blood sample method was used for (51)Cr EDTA clearance measurement. RESULTS: Clearance values, not corrected for body surface area, increased progressively up to the adolescence. CONCLUSION: The percentile curves were determined and allow, for a single patient, to estimate accurately the level of non-corrected clearance and the evolution with time, whatever the age. |

I happen to enjoy Japanese women and young women very much. I am froom the USA and am not happy about the socialists here in my country criticizing Japan for its centuries old established cultural traditions and values. The US is a wonderful place but filled with far too many idiots who do not understand their own Constitution which allowed the communist Obama to be elected to the presidency! So how can anyone take a foreigners point of view seriously? I like Japan as I discovered her in the 1960′s and in 40 short years USA liberals have changed that – Tell the imposing moralists to go to hell! Arigato

CocknBullKid – Subversive, Sometimes Sinister, and Always Sublime Mix of Sex

September 4th, 2011, updated
September 5, 2011
CocknBullKid is a pseudonym of Anita Blay (born 1985, Hackney). CocknBullKid's style, it should be said, resides firmly on the dark side of pop. There's an almost Trojan quality to it – Anita's ever-expanding repertoire is a subversive, sometimes sinister, and always sublime mix of sex, death, ugliness, wit and depravity, found amidst The Everyday [...]

Mrs Smith
Written by Cheryl
(10/17/2005 12:00 a.m.)
We meet Mrs Smith in this week's chapters, and based on what we know now, I am inclined to think favorably of her. She was very kind to Anne after the death of her mother, and "had shewn her kindness in one of those periods of her life when it had been most valuable." (ch 17) She is poor, widowed, and an invalid - three circumstances designed to make us sympathetic toward her, but she remains cheerful and useful with her knitting. I also found interesting the discussion on human nature in the sickroom. Anne supposes scenes of "heroism, fortitude, patience, resignation" but Mrs Smith knows better. It is more often "selfishness and impatience rather than generosity and fortitude..." I couldn't help but wonder if JA was speaking from personal experience with her illness and her mother's - which were closer to Mary's than Mrs Smith's. But I must confess that one of the reasons I wish to like her is that Sir Walter is so harsh, so condemning in his opinion of her. He is at his nastiest here: "A Mrs Smith. A widow Mrs Smith; and who was her husband? One of five thousand Mr Smiths whose names are to be met with everywhere. And what is her attraction? That she is old and sickly ... A widow Mrs Smith lodging in Westgate Buildings! A poor widow barely able to live, between thirty and forty; a mere Mrs Smith, an every-day Mrs Smith, of all people and all names in the world … Mrs Smith! Such a name!" (ch 17) Ooh! Someone needs a SUTH!

Sea Ray Balsa Core ProblemsPUBLISHED BY D. H. PASCOE & CO., INC., DESTIN, FL.CORES AND STRUCTURAL ISSUES
by (1) blaming some marine surveyors for "providing a lot of incorrect information during the process"; (2) claiming that balsa is widely used by many boat builders (without specifying where they use it); (3) that balsa is "tried and tested [by Sea Ray]"; (4) that balsa core is "recognized, certified around the world [by] Lloyds Register of Shipping, Det Norske Veritas, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai, American Bureau of Shipping ...." and others. Unfortunately, as respects item #4 above, the Sea Ray response fails to mention that those classification societies attach very strict rules to the use of balsa construction, standards that I'm certain that Sea Ray does not meet. Because, if Sea Ray did meet those standards, they would surely have applied for certification from one or more of those societies. Since they claim no such certification, we can be sure that they don't have it. Meanwhile, two large yacht builders that do successfully use balsa on bottoms DO carry the ABS certification, and one Lloyds as well. It costs a small fortune to attain those certs, which is why no production builder ever bothers. Sea Ray goes on to say that, "if the source of water ingress is located and repaired in a timely manner, the balsa core will dry out and be fine." Un huh. And in response to recommendations of most marine surveyors that repairs be carried out by removing and replacing the wet and/or rotted balsa core, Sea Ray says that this procedure would likely cause more damage than its worth. All of which sounds very much like an argument to do nothing short of finding a way to let a saturated hull naturally dry out. Separately, Sea Ray issued a memorandum which includes a copy of a letter that I wrote to Baltec in 1996, in which I discussed the qualities of balsa as a core and found them superior to the foams that were being used at the time. In 1996 Baltec's public relations reproduced the letter, copy of which Sea Ray attached and quoted from in the memorandum to all Sea Ray dealers and which has since had wide distribution beyond dealers. Indeed, it is being used as a defense of balsa cored hull bottoms against Sea Ray owner complaints. Once this was brought to my attention, it became clear to me that I made a mistake in that 1996 letter by not differentiating my views on the use of balsa in a boat's upper structures versus boat bottoms. I will state for the record here that I have NEVER endorsed the use of balsa cores in boat bottoms, nor any other type of core materials. Indeed, virtually all the core-related articles on this web site should make that painfully clear. Nor can the writer of that Sea Ray memorandum claim that he is ignorant of my views on bottom coring. That's because I had received a letter from him that indicated that Sea Ray personnel monitors our web site, as do most other builders. In Sea Ray's defense it has become clear that the company has monitored our web site over the years and has taken note of complaints about certain issues that we have written about, and in ensuing years we have noted that more than a few of such complaints were remedied. Good for them and good for their customers. I have no problem with giving credit where credit is due. However, I have long warned boat buyers about the dangers of balsa cores in boat bottoms going all the way back to 1966 when I first became aware of how catastrophic water intrusion into a cored bottom could be. I had hoped that Sea Ray would pick up on that one also, but, alas, they did not until it came back and bit them hard on the backside. In fact, both balsa and foam cored bottom failures were a well-known problem throughout the 1960's and 1970's, so much so that I ridiculed Sea Ray for adopting a practice that resulted in horrific problems over the course of two preceding decades, debacles from which most everyone in the boat building industry learned a lesson - some the hard way, others by observance of other's mistakes. Everyone, that is, except the good folks at Sea Ray. Then, as I hear it, Cruisers, Inc., and others jumped on the band wagon and started putting balsa in their boat bottoms. Frankly, I couldn't believe that "designers" at such large corporations could be so ignorant until I discovered just what kind of people were designing boats at Sea Ray and the others. No more degreed naval architects but industrial engineers and CAD operators with little or no marine experience. Does that mean that no highly experienced naval architect would ever use a balsa core in a boat bottom? It does not because I can name several that do. Huckins and Cresent Yachts, both builders of large multi-million dollar yachts have used balsa cores on bottoms, and have done so successfully. Yet there is an important caveat to this point: Balsa can be successfully used as a core, but only with extreme care in design and application. The extreme care that can only come from the minds of the highly experienced. Moreover, successful design and use of balsa as a bottom core is not cheap; it adds greatly to the cost of design and construction. But production boat builders do not use cores to improve strength but to reduce the cost of the amount of fiberglass used because balsa is cheaper than solid FRP. And even though a real expert can create a reliable balsa cored hull, I still think that this is a terrible idea because if the hull becomes damaged and water intrusion does occur, the damage is extraordinarily costly, and sometimes even impossible to repair. But to use the material in a high production operation is plain nuts when there is so much emphasis on reducing labor costs. Great skill and low wages are contradictory factors. For example, I surveyed one brand new, never titled model 550 in which there were two holes drilled through the inside skin near the keel line, a feature that would drain water directly into the core. How did those holes get there? Obvious some worker at Sea Ray had to have drilled them for reasons one can only guess at. But the point is clear: Even if designed and constructed perfectly, there is still plenty of room for the unanticipated event happening to wreck the boat through no fault of the owner. When we compare the potential risks of a cored bottom with a solid glass bottom, the former makes about as much sense as trying to fly an aircraft with only half a wing, or going to sea without communications. Myself and many other surveyors have been involved with numerous failed bottom cores of Sea Rays and can testify that Sea Ray's use of balsa in their hulls is highly flawed, and often lacks even common sense in its application and design. Though Sea Ray claims thirty years of successful use of balsa in upper structures, there isn't an experienced surveyor around who couldn't list endless examples of rotten deck cores in Sea Rays. Not only deck cores, but Sea Ray can't even get the use of plywood in hull stringers right, as this web site has repeatedly documented. There are uncountable numbers of older Sea Rays (10+ years) out there with rotting plywood stringers, a problem that few other boat builders who use the material have had. This disaster that Sea Ray has created is not getting the publicity it deserves for a variety of reasons. One is, as Powerboat Reports indicates, that Sea Ray, in settling lawsuits, is obtaining non disclosure agreements in the terms of settlement, a common practice by corporate lawyers in product liability cases. Naturally, Sea Ray is doing all it can to keep it quiet. Another stems from the attitudes of the troubled boat owners. When you've got a huge sum of money tied up in a defective product, you don't want to advertise that fact. If the owner fails to get a satisfactory settlement, he's going to want to sell the boat to some other unsuspecting buyer so that he can recover some of his money. When the defect becomes common knowledge, the value of the boat will plummet. There's just one small problem with that: It is illegal to knowingly sell a defective product to someone. It's called fraud. So it ends up that marine surveyors are caught in the line of fire between boat owners and the builders. On the one hand the builders want to discredit the surveyors and/or shut them up. On the other, boat buyers want to avoid buying into the problem, but should they end up with a problem, they want to silence the surveyors as well. Both sides shoot the messenger! Sea Ray was in trouble long before this debacle because their since replaced management thought that boom times would last forever, and expanded production capacity to keep up with the economic bubble (a management error that is predictable as the changing of the seasons and which has brought down numerous boat builders). Now Sea Ray has hundreds, perhaps thousands of ticking time bombs (balsa cored boat bottoms) out there waiting to explode. Will Sea Ray survive the mistake? Only time will tell, but meantime I wouldn't make any bets on Brunswick stock. |

Antara News, Tuesday, June 1, 2010 18:12 WIB
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia`s Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (Mer-C) is still waiting confirmation on the identity of an injured volunteer in the Israeli attack at dawn on Monday (May 31), a MER-C spokesman said.
"We are still waiting for a confirmation on the victim`s identity from several related institutions, according to rumors an Indonesian citizen was injured during the attack," MER-C staffer Rima said here Tuesday.
As reported earlier, "MV Mavi Marmara", a ship carrying about 500 people consisting of activists, journalists, volunteers and parliament members, was attacked by Israeli commandos when it was peacefully sailing to Gaza in international waters to deliver humanitarian aid.
Its passengers included four MER-C activists, an undetermined number of people from other Indonesian organizations and at least one Indonesian television reporter.
In the Israeli assault, a number of passengers were reported killed and injured.
According to Rima, Mer-C is still unable to contact Freedom Flotilla humanitarian aid for the Gaza strip convoy since the attack, and waiting for confirmation on volunteers` condition.
The four Mer-C activists aboard the MV Mavi Marmara were Nurfitri Taher (Mer-C project officer), medical officers Arief Rahman, Abdillah Onim and mechanic Nur Ikhwan Abadi.
There were also volunteers from other Indonesian organizations such as the Indonesian Committee of Solidarity for Palestine (KISPA) and Sahabat Al-Aqsha and television camera man M Yasin.
Meanwhile, Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Tengku Faizasyah said on Monday the ministry was still trying to obtain information on the condition of the Indonesians aboard the ship.
Earlier on Monday, Israeli private channel 10 television reported Israeli marine commandos had opened fire after being attacked with axes and knives by a number of passengers on board the ship without naming the source of the information.
The station did not say whether the dead and injured were passengers or members of the Israeli navy.
Israel`s army radio said between 10 and 14 people had been killed in clashes which broke out after the passengers allegedly tried to grab weapons off the naval commandos who tried to storm one of the boats.
It was not clear whether the clashes were taking place on just one of the six boats making up the aid convoy, and the Israeli army had no immediate comment on the incident.
Shortly afterward, the Israeli military censor ordered a block on all information regarding those injured or killed during the storming of the ship.
Due to the incident, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called off a planned visit to Washington on Tuesday, as reported by an Italian News Agency, ADNKronos International.
"We have no problems with the people of Gaza. We do have a conflict with the terrorist regime of Hamas, supported by Iran. We want to maintain a situation where we prevent weapons and war materials from coming into Gaza, and allowing humanitarian aid to go to the population of Gaza," he said.
The convoy had been trying to break Israel`s crippling blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip after the Islamist movement Hamas took power there in 2007.
"Our policy was and will continue to be that Israel would allow humanitarian aid, any kind of goods that are meant for peace, to the civilian population of Gaza," he said.
The killings drew widespread international condemnation with several countries summoning their Israeli ambassadors.

June 11, 2009 - money matters
This week I'd like to do a roundup of some library financial issues.
First, effective June 1, we doubled the fines for overdue materials. We continue to offer a few days grace for such materials -- and if you give us your email address, we'll even remind you to bring things back the day before they are due.
In brief, fines for most materials went from a nickel a day to a dime a day. Our fines do max out for most materials at $5 per item. While this probably won't be a big money maker for us, we hope it will encourage people to help us keep our materials moving. There's a lot of demand for them these days.
May 14, 2009 - Libraries mean business
by Rochelle Logan and Jamie LaRue
A couple of years ago the Douglas County Manager of Economic Development, Meme Martin, met with library representatives to talk about the business databases we buy. She wanted to know if we would consider augmenting those subscription services to support new "economic gardening" efforts at Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock.
Our interest was piqued. We wanted to know more about economic gardening. (It means, in brief, growing the seeds of businesses that are already planted in the local community.)
Libraries exist to serve their communities -- residents and business owners alike. And we're always interested in mutually beneficial partnerships.
May 7, 2009 - library volunteers worth almost half a million dollars in 2008
On April 22, the Douglas County Libraries invited our volunteers to a modest recognition dinner. The occasion: looking back on 2008 library volunteerism. It was a record-breaker.
March 12, 2009 - get your news ... from the library
A few weeks ago I gave a talk up in Golden. Later, a journalism student interviewed me. Was there still a place for the library, he wanted to know, in the age of the Internet?
I told him that I've been asked that by a lot of reporters over the years. But it has a particular poignancy to it now. Before this young man, the last person to ask me worked for the Rocky Mountain News. (The financially troubled Rocky, as surely everyone now knows, recently shut down operations after failure to find a buyer.)

Social from the Start
Although on the surface Empathy may seem a powerful and flexible instant-messaging client, but limited to textual messaging, it also packs in some other interesting features. The Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala shipped Empathy for the first time with its audio and video support. With it, you can have live voice and video calls with your contacts.
Audio chat works with most networks and people who are connected to Empathy with a working microphone. For those contacts with whom you can videochat, they are indicated with a small Webcam icon next to their names in the Empathy contact list. To start a call, simply right-click a contact and select either Audio Call or Video Call. A new window appears and the call is initiated.
Another feature that a lot of people are unaware of in Empathy is desktop sharing. With it, you can share your desktop with contacts so they can control it remotely, moving your mouse and typing on your desktop. This is handy for helping people fix problems or for collaborating on projects. Sharing your desktop requires a fairly meaty Net connection on both sides, so don't try to use it if you have limited bandwidth. If you want to give it a try, simply right-click a contact and select Share My Desktop.
With Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, the Social from the Start initiative has really started to embed into the desktop and operating system. With it, you can tweet from your desktop to a wide variety of networks, have text, audio, video and desktop sharing support with all of your contacts in one place, and aggregate the many different messages that you need all in one place—the messaging menu. These different components have been designed to fit neatly together, sharing many of the design and interaction characteristics to provide a smooth, consistent and fluid user experience.
Although the experience is exciting in itself, the machinery under the hood is even more compelling. Empathy and Gwibber are at the forefront of innovation in messaging. Empathy, part of the GNOME desktop, is based on the Telepathy framework, a powerful set of tools for communicating over different networks and mediums, and aggregating these different mediums together. Although Empathy is the front end, the underlying Telepathy framework is opening up tremendous opportunities for applications in the future. We can thank Collabora Multimedia in England for much of the work on this.
In the same vein, at the heart of Gwibber is the Gwibber API. Although Gwibber provides the user experience we care about, the Gwibber API fulfills a means for application developers to tweet from their application. I myself used this in a program, and I added support to tweet a message with merely three lines of Python. These technologies provide developers with the ability to build modern social-networking features into their applications, continuing to build huge value in the open-source desktop.
It is an exciting time in the Linux desktop world, and this article has covered merely the beginning of the journey. This may be the start, but there is a long road ahead of us—it is time to get ever more social.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.
