Your Baby's 9th Month
Learn about your baby's development at weeks 35-39
Large Motor: Climbing
Around the time babies learn to pull up to stand, they also learn to climb. It is a different skill but also involves coordination of legs, shifting weight, and using the arms to pull the body up.
Stairs are often irresistible to a young climber, but moving down the stairs requires skills that she will not develop for a few more months.
Parents have to be very attentive of children climbing stairs. We highly recommend placing baby gates at the bottom and top of stairs to prevent unsupervised explorations and accidents.
Bedroom & Kitchen Safety
Babies will also try to figure out ways to climb on top of furniture. Around this time, some ambitious babies make early attempts to climb out of the crib by stepping onto their bumpers. Be sure to place your child's crib on the lowest setting. If Baby shows an interest in climbing by placing her feet on top of the bumper pad while gripping the rail, it's time to remove the bumper pad. This should buy you some time before Baby is big enough to master how to get out of the crib. Keep in mind, most babies do not successfully climb out of the crib until close to their second birthday, and some babies never climb out.
Babies enjoy exploring kitchens, especially while a parent is fixing (or trying to fix!) a meal. Unfortunately, this is a space that can be dangerous for Baby if safety precautions are not taken.
Consider these warning areas to watch in your kitchen:
- Oven: Lock the oven if you can. Extra-inquisitive babies who can pull themselves up to a standing position are capable of opening the oven door to explore.
- Holding Baby on your hip and stirring a hot pot can lead to disaster. Just don't do it.
- Watch out for pots on the stove with handles facing out as a baby can grab and pull. Use back burners when possible.
- Dishwasher: There are sharp utensils inside waiting to be washed or put away—lock it if you can.
- Storage: Keep cleaners and plastic bags securely stored in a cabinet with a childproof lock securely fastened.
Use these tips to make the kitchen a safe place for Baby to practice new skills:
- Designate one cabinet in the kitchen for Baby. She'll enjoy opening and closing the cabinet.
- Offer her pots, pans, and measuring cups that are safe to handle. This is a period in development when stacking and fitting smaller-sized objects in larger ones becomes interesting.
- She also may want to hold a big plastic or wooden spoon and bang out a song on a pot. Notice how she can now hold one spoon in one hand and bang the pot with another.

The Quick and Dirty History of Sexting
Sexting is all over the news lately. From high schoolers to sitting U.S. Congressmen, anyone with a data connection seems to have tried it at least once. While 3G certainly hasn't made our species any more chaste, it'd be difficult to prove that it's made us any more sexually active either. Our methods may have changed, but humans have been sending each other dirty messages for literally thousands of years.

The mayor gave the "State of the City" address last night. On Monday I wrote that I would not try to guess what he would say and that I'd just wait until he said it and then comment. This required me to actually watch him give the speech. Which I did. I didn't go down there in person. Not exactly my kind of crowd. I'm sure the people who did go weren't heartbroken over the fact that I didn't show up either. It was on FRGTV live at 7:00 pm so I watched from home. About 10 minutes into the speech I remember thinking that there was this stain on the ceiling that I have been meaning to touch up. At the 15 minute mark I was thinking that I probably should have just painted the ceiling .
Not that the speech was awful because I've seen much worse. It was about what I expected though. Basically a campaign speech outlining all of the positive steps that have been taken during the last year of the Flanagan administration. And there have been moves in the right direction. The mayor has had his share of mistakes as well but he's not going to spend one nanosecond bringing that stuff up. Why should he ? That's for wise asses like me. The mayor felt compelled to point out in the paper the other day that he had written "100%" of this speech himself. That's a bit unusual in politics, most politicians don't do "100%" of their own speech writing, but I'll certainly take him at his word. It is from that perspective, that these words were all his words, that I'll take a crack at this Bad Larry.
The theme was 'the state of our city is strong". What did you expect him to say ? He started by pointing out that people both from inside the city and from without would listen to this speech to gauge the state of our city; "they will listen and then decide whether to purchase a home, invest in a business, or send their children to our to our public schools". I might have left the "purchase a home" bit out, the mayor hasn't decided to do that himself yet. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the whole "he doesn't even own a house here" mantra.
He spoke about the city's financial situation. Audits have been completed and everything is up to date. "Our fiscal house is in order". I have no argument with any of that.
On the economic development front he pointed out all the positive steps that the city has taken. One thing he did mention was the UMass Biopark. Again, I probably would have tread lightly there. He did try to stop the project at the beginning of his administration after all. I guess it's a bit of a mixed bag in this category. The unemployment rate is a hard thing to ignore. Sort of the giant pink elephant in the room.
The mayor called for the full funding of Southcoast commuter rail and the formation of a "regional taskforce" made up of folks from New Bedford, Taunton and The Riv. There was a lot of talk about that type of thing. Taskforces, focus groups and committees. I'm not the most optimistic person when it comes to this project. I guess I've been around too long but the only thing we've gotten to date are promises and political speak. Sorry.
He outlined strides that the city has made in public education. He left out all the underpreforming stuff and the fact that the school committee, of which he reamins Chairman, just voted to close a middle school and that he was rhe deciding vote, but again, what did you expect him to say? One of the things he pointed out was the fact that the city has established our districts first early college high school. I'm pretty sure that's their plan but "established"? Not quite. With respect to Durfee he announced that "our Administration will boldly apply to the Massachusetts School Building Authority to embark on a total reconstruction of BMC Durfee High School ". I'm not sure how one "boldly applies" but I'm willing to learn. I didn't see this on TV but according to the paper Brad Kilby gave a one man standing ovation to the Durfee announcement. I almost wish I had gone so I could have seen that. What I did see on TV was the camera showing members of the school committee during the education portion of the speech. Joe Martins was the only person that I saw in the whole audience taking notes. Well he had a pen and paper in his hands. He could have been drawing cartoon characters for all I know. Note to Joe; they'll get you a copy of the speech if you want. Or you could just read it in the Herald.
In the field of Public Safety the mayor spoke of life after the SAFER grant and planning for future staffing of the FRFD. Nothing specific but they're working on it. He then went on to point out all the strides that have been made with manpower and equipment within the FRPD. The recent academy class, ShotSpotter and other state of the art equipment that the FRPD now utilize. If you read this Blog on a regular basis you know that I am a huge fan of the strides that have been made with the FRPD and I hope the momentum continues. Then again, if you read this Blog on a regular basis you may have some other issues to attend to.
The mayor then took on two very important and under discussed subjects. Homelessness and drug use. Two huge issues in this community that often go hand in hand. It was good to hear it mentioned. The drug use in this community is ridiculous and is one of the largest underlying issues with crime in this city. The homelessness issue is a major concern as well. The stories I've heard this winter about the number of homeless and the unbelievable locations that they have staked out is scary. The mayor spoke directly to the homeless to let them know there is help available. "if you are homeless" was how he started the sentence. I'm going to split hairs here Mr. Mayor. The homeless lack some basic things. Shelter, nutrition and money being chief among them. I'm also pretty sure that they lack basic cable TV so I don't think too many heard you. The mayor also directly addressed the drug dealers; "Tonight I send a message to the drug dealers and drug pushers....". Again I'm not sure how many of them were tuned in.
The mayor was interrupted 21 times by applause during the course of his speech according to the Herald. I'm not sure who's job it was to keep track of that, but way to count. The crowd was obviously partisan, invited guest, "Friends of Will", numerous elected officials and various city department heads and employees who I'm sure felt no pressure to attend. And that was it. Twenty minutes from start to finish. All is well, the state of the city is strong and I've still got that damned spot on my ceiling.

First log here on AM. I ran a short 4 week log on another forum (AL/AH) Currently starting my PCT. I took the last week off. My mom came to town for my wedding and I had to take her around. So eating was pretty rough. I doubt I even got my protein reqs per day for the last 7 days. Just a little rough because I'm very dairy sensitive and can't drink protein powder. Also, my week lay off included around 7kgs of weight gain because of the inflammation in my gluten exposure. (I'm also allergic to flour, and super gluten sensitive)
Anyway, i'm back on the boat. My workout/diet is the UD2/LG
On VLCD I use the LG 8 hr window and on the carb ups I do a protein window, where the 8hr window will include protein and elsewhere I will just eat carbs.
The goal on this 15week log will obviously be to get lean and retain as much LBM as possible so I can pull off some superhero. Currently thinking of doing Thor. Just gotta get me a WIG haha.
Current stats are: (Gonna fill these in later)
Chest: 106cm
Left Arm: 43cm (flexed) 41cm unflexed
Height: 177cm
Weight: 95.4kg (Down 2kgs from last night, usually I lose around 2kgs at night.) For the purpose of this log, and my usual trend is to log my morning weight.
Supps I will be running:
Beta alanine
Supps using in this log:
1-15 Shred matrix (VLCD, M-Th 4on3off)
1-6 Trans Rev (ED)
1-8 PCT Black (ED)
3-12 AnaBeta (Refeed days, TH night-Sat night 3on4off)
1-15 DermaTherm (VLCD, M-Th 4on3off)
1-15 Lit UP (1-15 dosed full 2 scoops on mon,tues,th, sat)
That's basically my run for now. The PCT Black is dosed like that because it's basically one pill per day for 60 days. I like shred matrix for it's appetite suppressant properties (i've used it b4 on the last log and really like it). Also, my low dose serm will be in there but I figure no need to put that Also, the reason I am running AnaBeta from week 3 is mostly because I don't have it yet... I'm using DAA from the Lit-up as my Natty Tbooster.
Currently I don't feel shut down at all and this doesn't even feel like PCT as I am strong as hell...
If anyone would like to toss in their 2cents about not running the supps straight please enlighten me as I am no expert and I am just doing it this way because it seems like the UD2 is a PURE cyclical diet. And I think the supps will help get me to and from the anabolic/catabolic modes faster and more pronounced in both runs.
Let's hit it!!!!!

H. G. Wells: The Island of Doctor Moreau19. XIX. MONTGOMERY'S "BANK HOLIDAY." (continued)A sudden convulsion of rage shook me. I was almost moved to batter his foolish head in, as he lay there helpless at my feet. Then suddenly his hand moved, so feebly, so pitifully, that my wrath vanished. He groaned, and opened his eyes for a minute. I knelt down beside him and raised his head. He opened his eyes again, staring silently at the dawn, and then they met mine. The lids fell. "Sorry," he said presently, with an effort. He seemed trying to think. "The last," he murmured, "the last of this silly universe. What a mess--" I listened. His head fell helplessly to one side. I thought some drink might revive him; but there was neither drink nor vessel in which to bring drink at hand. He seemed suddenly heavier. My heart went cold. I bent down to his face, put my hand through the rent in his blouse. He was dead; and even as he died a line of white heat, the limb of the sun, rose eastward beyond the projection of the bay, splashing its radiance across the sky and turning the dark sea into a weltering tumult of dazzling light. It fell like a glory upon his death-shrunken face. I let his head fall gently upon the rough pillow I had made for him, and stood up. Before me was the glittering desolation of the sea, the awful solitude upon which I had already suffered so much; behind me the island, hushed under the dawn, its Beast People silent and unseen. The enclosure, with all its provisions and ammunition, burnt noisily, with sudden gusts of flame, a fitful crackling, and now and then a crash. The heavy smoke drove up the beach away from me, rolling low over the distant tree-tops towards the huts in the ravine. Beside me were the charred vestiges of the boats and these four dead bodies. Then out of the bushes came three Beast People, with hunched shoulders, protruding heads, misshapen hands awkwardly held, and inquisitive, unfriendly eyes and advanced towards me with hesitating gestures.

Tax-Deferred Annuities; Are They Right for You?
Tax-Deferred Annuities: Are They Right for You?
Tax-deferred annuities can be a valuable tool, particularly for retirement savings. However, they are not appropriate for everyone.
Five questions to consider
Think about each of the following questions. If you can answer yes to all of them, an annuity may be a good choice for you.
- Are you making the maximum allowable pretax contribution to employer-sponsored retirement plans (a 401(k) or 403(b) plan through your employer, or a Keogh plan or SEP-IRA if you are self-employed), or to a deductible traditional IRA? These are tax-advantaged vehicles that should be fully utilized before you contribute to an annuity.
- Are you making the maximum allowable contribution to a Roth IRA, Roth 401(k), or Roth 403(b), which provide additional tax benefits not available in a nonqualified annuity?
- Will you need more retirement income than your current retirement plan(s) will provide? If you begin making the maximum allowable contributions to both a qualified plan and an IRA in your 30s or early 40s, you may have enough retirement income without an annuity.
- Are you sure you won't need the money until at least age 59½? Withdrawals from an annuity made before this age are usually subject to a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty tax on earnings levied by the IRS.
- Will you take distributions from your annuity on an ongoing basis throughout your retirement? You typically have the option of making a lump-sum withdrawal from an annuity, but this is almost always a bad idea. If you do, you'll have to pay taxes on all of the earnings that have built up over the years. If you take gradual distributions, you pay taxes a little at a time, allowing the rest of the money to continue growing tax deferred. In addition, if the annuity is nonqualified and you elect to receive an annuity payout, you will enjoy an exclusion allowance on each payment, in which a portion of each payment is considered a return of principal and is not taxable.

Where has Victoria been hiding? This mess is made for her.She cuts through all the clutter and gets down to the essence of why this is a very important story - and Petraeus´s "problems" cannot be looked at separately from the Benghazi murder investigation. His testimony is crucial. Only he can testify as to why he, contrary to what was said by his operative on the ground in Benghazi, said the attack was caused by the video.
So, since our new 9/11 in Benghazi we have Gen. Ham, head of AFRICOM at the time suddenly being relieved of command, then, resigning, we have the head of one of his battle groups relieved of command for some sort of mistake in professional judgement, we have Gen. Petraeus resignation from the CIA, and just yesterday came the news that our top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, was also caught up in some sort of impropriety.Is this just some awful, freakish, once in a lifetime series of coincidences, or is this a banana republic type purge of the military--done for reasons we are as yet unaware of?
The entire Petraeus story and his lie to the House on Benghazi scream "Obama blackmailed him". This is the real scandal, not the sex with Paula, the buxom Kelly or Petraeus´ distraught wife.From Victoria´s article, with the identical fact from the Washington Post:Consider: When Petraeus was nominated for DCI, there were "rumors" in Afghanistan about the duo and the extent of her access to him, according to well-respected foreign policy expert and Fox News national security analyst K.T. McFarland, who was on the ground there at the time.This is serious, folks.
FTA: Or the sticky situation was used to pressure the DCI into backing the White House theory.Bingo.
Of course Petraeus was probably blackmailed. He has still behaved abominably, and I don´t mean the sex.
#2 it begins to look like a purge of good generals - is he aiming to replace them with those are "gender challenged" or who will roll over to do whatever the impostor in chief wants?
Another question I want answered; who sent Susan Rice to all those Sunday talk shows? I believe this is important because it should have been PIAPS (Hillary) as Secretary of State. Did Hillary say "Hell No I will not do anything that stupid", thus proving she knew the truth at the time?
Toensing is one smart cookie if she gets involved things will happen.
Why is every one beating around the bush about this story? Facts are simple : (1) Benghazi was a CIA holding house; (2) The admin knew about the affair on Sept 11th and held it over Petraeus´ head to tow the line. (3) Petraeus will be held responsible for the Benghazi attack and thrown under the bus. (4) The admin will use this as an excuse to cut defense budget (5) The LSM will shield Obama and claim its all about sex and the stupid Americans will believe it too.
If I wanted to purge the U.S. military of it´s patriot warriors and take the heat off my Administration for Benghazi, Fast & Furious and God knows what else, I know what I´d do.
Sic ´em, Victoria.
Thank you Ms Toensimng. But come´on Victoria, don´t attempt to carify things for me. Obama & Co. want to keep me in the dark and in the dark I will live.
Benghazi was a holding cell for prisoner interrogation. That is what they have been hiding.Can you say ´WATERBOARDING?´
The actions comparable to Fast and Furious--gun running. Stevens was in Lybia prior to being announced as ambassador. They were trying to get the arms relocated to the islamist jihadist and rebels fighting in Syria. IMO, this is the core of the Benghazi operation. So, guess who else was involved.
You betcha, Ms.Toensing. Hope this finds you well.

I've release a new version with an additional 5 parameters for Arducopter:
Added missing Arducopter parameters stab_d, stab_d_s, acro_p, axis_p, axis_enable for a total of 47 parameters. Compatibility with ACM 2.5.3 and APM 2.3.0
The new release is available here:
Thanks for the update!
Hey Jack that is a cool station, could you list some of the items you used to build it?
I used the Ardustation with Heino awsum firmware, The Ready Made RC pan tilt for the antena, its a wood unit thats very well done comes with survos and gears, just made some mods to mount the Ardustation and then painted it, On the side I mounted a small DVR so I can record the downlink video. The video RX is 1.3gz with a patch antena. All runs on a 3 cell 2200 lipo. I have a stepdown reg. for the DVR but the rest of the system runs on 12V.
Yes I have a low bypass filter there because my radio is 433hz my XBee,s are 900hz and video is 1.3ghz. I seem to take some noise out of the video.
Great, thanks for the update. Do you think it would anyhow be possible to use one of the source code repositories? This would make integrating changes much easier. The easiest way of course would be to put it into the APM git repo but that's already quite full with all the ArduX projects. Then there already seems to exist a Ardustation2 svn repo but svn is so last-year :-) git actually makes life a lot easier.
I'm asking because I'm integrating the code to my own arduino mega based GCS. I have a different LCD, different button layout, etc, but the functionality is otherwise pretty much the same and so is the code. So it would simplify things a lot to have some kind of code repository, as also with the other ArduX projects.
Please let me know what you thing. Cheers and Thanks,
Hi Andre,
We had SVN set up on the Google code repository and used it for a while when there where multiple developers. For the last 6 months or so I've been the only one working on it and I really thought interest was waning - except for a few who do use it. I'm on the Arducopter and Arduplane development lists and I've been updating to try to match changes to APM and ACM and I actually use git here to track my own changes - but again didn't think there were other developers interested. However given you're interest I'd be glad to push my git repository somewhere.
My git repository is set up using pulled git from the development site so I have to figure out where to push and I'll look over the weekend for a home. I've used SVN for years and git for only 6 months so I'll bone up this weekend. I guess I could also create a clone git as described on the Arduplanes repository.
I've also broken the parameter update code working on a new version (2.0.14) with D terms added so I'm going to release that hopefully this weekend.
I'll let you know when I figure this out.
Perfect :) Yes, I'm definitely interested also to contribute. So please let me know when you picked a location.
I think the Ardustation has a lot of potential. Initially I also thought I cannot live with google maps display but actually most often I need the GCS to check for GPS lock, verify the correct parameters are loaded, etc. Laptop/smartphone based GCS's are more complex, more difficult to setup and in the case of a laptop also to carry around.
I'm also more familiar with SVN (and before, CVS) but have recently started to enjoy the benefits of git although I still don't know how to use it properly.. hehe.
Cheers, Andre
I've created a clone repository here with the latest code in it:
This version has parameter update problems which I'll be working on tomorrow.
I found the problem with parameter updates failing from the Ardustation. It turns out that the Ardustation requested Mavlink messages that are transmitted at 1 Hz cause an overflow of the Xbee buffer dropping some of the bytes for the last messages transmitted. The last message was received missing the data payload which caused the Mavlink received message state machine to get stuck with an error and ignore the Mavlink parameter value message which is sent confirming the parameter change.
I disabled some of the Mavlink requested messages (which are not needed) and the parameter mechanism is now very reliable. I will release 2.0.14 tomorrow with these changes and the other missing D terms.
Thanks, I just cloned it. How do you actually set git up so that it always pulls the other directories from the APM git repo?
About the parameter sync: would it make sense to set the flow rates to 0 prior to requesting the parameters and then set them to whatever they were after parameters are received correctly? Since I was bench testing with no xbees but jumper cables this whole issue didn't occur to me.
BTW: after getting the code changes synchronized my plan was to add the following main menu items: "SET_HOME" which (re)sets the GCS home location, "ADD_WP_HERE" which would append the current location to the mission on APM. Also in flight data I already have the current waypoint index shown. Once I have everything (meaning my LCD functions, the different buttons, etc.) isolated via ifdefs I could also upload this somewhere. This will take me a few days though I guess.

Veracruz is one of Mexico's richest states in terms of nature, culture and history. Its territory covers beautiful beaches, mountains, jungles and forests, magical towns and a part this country history. With Aeromexico you can take our flights to Veracruz, Mexico and enjoy the best family vacation.
250 miles from Mexico City, the port of Veracruz offers tours through sub-tropical landscapes with rivers, mountains, and trails. Extreme sports and ecotourism are some of the state's biggest attractions, with rafting coming in first place. The Veracruz region is also ideal for camping, climbing, zip lining, rappelling, scuba diving, walking, and hiking.
The Port of Veracruz has been a witness to countless historical happenings for centuries such as the arrival of Cortes, the establishment of Spanish colonies, foreign invasions, and the exile of Porfirio Diaz, among many other events that left an important historical imprint. Visitors walking around the city streets, squares and buildings can't help but admire the architecture, especially in places such as the San Juan de Ulua Fortress, the Agustin Lara House and the Aquarium.
Veracruz is well known for its traditional Carnival, celebrated once a year, nine days before the Catholic period of Lent. The Carnival is a big party consisting of 6 colorful parades, which take place along the promenade where crowds of people dance with joy in groups called "Comparsas". Brightly colored, elaborately decorated floats, created by the "Jarochos" (the name for people from the port of Veracruz), pass by with people in fantastic costumes playing music.
Veracruz cultivates and harvests top quality coffee beans. Due to this, it's easy to find numerous places to drink an aromatic and flavorful cup of coffee, or to buy coffee products. The Coffee Museum and the Sanctuary of Coffee are must-see venues for those who want to learn about the entire coffee production process, from farming to grinding. Every March, El Tajin, site of an important ancient city, is the venue for cultural events including music, dancing, and rituals.
Veracruz is one of the most amazing places in Mexico. You can enjoy a walk in the "Malecon" (the boardwalk), watch the sunset and enjoy a delicious cuisine. With Aeromexico's flights to Veracruz, Mexico you can travel to the "Puerto Jarocho" and discover part of the rich culture of our country.

Cougars on the Move
Mountain lions are thought to be multiplying in the West and heading east. Can we learn to live with these beautiful, elusive creatures?
- By Steve Kemper
- Smithsonian magazine, September 2006, Subscribe
Standing on the lip of a steep cliff on the Uncompahgre Plateau in western Colorado, Ken Logan rotates a telemetry antenna to pinpoint the radio signal of a female cougar designated F-7. He wants to tag F-7's cubs, which she has stashed in a jumble of rocks on the mountainside below. But she won't leave them, and Logan is wary. In 25 years of studying cougars, he and his team have had about 300 "encounters" and have been challenged six times. "And five of the six times," he says, "it was a mother with cubs. So what we don't want today is mom there with her cubs behind her."
Logan is at the beginning of a ten-year, $2 million study of mountain lions on 800 square miles. This native American lion—also called cougar, catamount, panther and puma—is the world's fourth largest cat. It ranges more widely throughout the Americas than any mammal except human beings. There's a lot at stake for cougars throughout the West, where beliefs about the cat are more often rooted in politics, emotion and guesswork than in hard facts. The animals are so elusive that no one knows for certain how many exist. "We're studying a phantom in the mountains," says Logan.
Are cougars destructive, overabundant predators that kill livestock and deer (robbing hunters of that opportunity), or splendid, overhunted icons that deserve protection? And how dangerous are they to people? Fatal attacks in the United States and Canada are rare—21 in the past 115 years—but 11 have happened since 1990.
In 1990, Californians voted to outlaw hunting cougars entirely. But most Western wildlife agencies have gone in the other direction in the past few decades, increasing the number that could be killed annually. In 1982, hunters in ten Western states killed 931 cougars, and by the early 2000s the number was topping 3,000. The number of hunting permits surged between the late 1990s and early 2000s after many states either expanded the season for lions, lowered the cost of licenses, raised bag limits—or all three. In Texas, Logan's home state, cougars—even cubs—can be killed year-round without limit.
Because it's so hard for wildlife agencies to get accurate counts of cougars, Logan and Linda Sweanor (Logan's spouse and fellow biologist) devised a conservative strategy for managing them by dividing a state into different zones: for sport hunting, for controlled killing in areas crowded with people or livestock, and for cougar refuges, which Logan calls "biological savings accounts." Many of the country's cougar experts have recommended that wildlife agencies adopt such zone management.
That hasn't happened. "Other political interests came to bear," Logan says dryly, referring mostly to ranchers and hunters. "At least the science is there now. I think policymakers and managers will go back to it, because management based on politics is going to fail."

It's sad that someone can be so hateful of non-human beings. I live on the Uncompahgre Plateau, with cougars, coyotes, golden eagles, elk, deer, ... and sheep, horses, and cattle. I know that cougars hunt my property because my dogs find deer carcasses covered in leaves. They also find tremendous delight in the leftover bones. My home has existed here since 1978, but many people who live in the west have moved into new residential housing tracts placed smack dab in the middle of cougar territory, placed there through shoddy environmental impact statements done by less than honest EIS companies that know they can get away with simply neglecting to mention which territory predatory, threatened, and endangered animals live, hunt and breed in. Rampant human corruption and greed are to blame for the recent human deaths through cougar attacks, not cougars.
Posted by E. Anglin on June 24,2010 | 02:12 AM
I am sure the family members of the 4 people who have been attacked by cougars this year in their own neighborhoods will agree with you. Especially the ones who were killed and eaten. Predators have to be managed and made afraid of humans to keep them at a safe distance. In Colorado they come up onto the porches in neighborhoods. See http://www.9news.com/news/watercooler/article.aspx?storyid=128823&catid=337
Black Bears are taking over New Jersey neighborhoods and 3.5 million 800 lb feral pigs are destroying pasture lands, farms and attacking people in their own homes. Animal rights zealots don't understand that these animals breed large litters and the populations double each year. Soon wild horses, feral pigs, cougars, wolves, let alone deer, rats and mice will have damaged the ecosystem for all other animals. The killing of human beings by wolves, cougars, bears and pigs is rapidly increasing. If you don't manage the wildlife then it destroys its own habitat and humans. Oh, I forgot that is what earth first wants no more human beings.

text: Spanish hack Rene Cardona, Jr. (of Aztec Mummy fame) directed this gory rip-off of The Birds (not a parody as its goofy title suggests) which follows a reporter/photographer team (Michelle Johnson & Christopher Atkins) as they investigate frequent reports of lethal bird attacks on humans. They eventually conclude that the attacks -- which are increasing in size, frequency and severity -- are part of an orchestrated avian plot against mankind. They could have saved themselves a lot of trouble by screening Hitchcock's classic chiller beforehand, just as viewers expecting a spoof of that film can save themselves the grief of enduring this bloody exercise, which pulls no punches in its graphic depiction of flesh-rending bird attacks. Gore-hounds should approve, as the makeup effects are painfully convincing, but die-hard Cardona fans may be disappointed to learn that no lady wrestlers actually step in to swat at the winged tormentors. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Can anyone tell me what the qualifications are of Tony Brummell who is hosting a perimeter tour of Ajax mine on Sunday the 29th? The April 26 news article on page A5 ("Resident offers Ajax tour") calls him a "Kamloops environmentalist" who claims to have enough specialty qualifications to the point that City councillors are considering partaking in this activist's tour.
This article also goes on to inform us that Mr. Brummell has already given tours to NDP member candidates for our area as well as past candidates for the municipal election. Quote from article, "Council keeps saying it wants info from all sides, this is purely an environmentalist's look at the impact of the mine."
I just want to know while we are publishing this type of information for these environmentalist experts, if we couldn't list their credentials. Mr. Brummell states he worked in mining for 10 years in Ontario and then at Bethlehem which has been closed for 30 years but does not say what his position was or what education he possessed nor what experience he has in today's current mining practices? He goes on to say that he worked for a rail (does not name it) company doing slope stabilization for a decade but does that mean he is a certified engineer?
I would also be interested in his experts — what are their credentials and why they are aren't part of the environmental assessment, especially if their expertise is better than those on the committee now? I was raised in mining communities in close proximity to open pit operations but does that make me an expert on the effects of mining or on the people and environment of same?
I am not saying Mr. Brummell does not have qualifications but he certainly has issues as do others who hold differing opinions. This tour sounds like an excellent idea but for a real view I would hope for reliable, current and educated facts. I just want to know if this tour that my City councillors "may" attend is backed by facts and without listing qualifications I have no idea.
Editor's note: Tony Brummell says his environmental credentials are "a self-taught sort of thing. I have taken inspiration from the David Suzukis of the world." He graduated with honours from the respected Haileybury School of Mines (which celebrated its 100th anniversary this year) at Northern College in Ontario, and worked in various mines on blasting crews as well as driving trucks and bulldozers and on crushers. "I do have a fairly good experience in open-pit mines," he told us.

10 facts on breastfeeding
Updated July 2013
Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure child health and survival.
If every child was breastfed within an hour of birth, given only breast milk for their first six months of life, and continued breastfeeding up to the age of two years, about 220 000 child lives would be saved every year. Globally, less than 40% of infants under six months of age are exclusively breastfed. Adequate breastfeeding counselling and support are essential for mothers and families to initiate and maintain optimal breastfeeding practices.
WHO actively promotes breastfeeding as the best source of nourishment for infants and young children. This fact file explores the many benefits of the practice, and how strong support to mothers can increase breastfeeding worldwide.

Dear Diary,
I have a secret, but we will talk about that later. Today was my birthday I am now official 18, and I love my life. My name is Dakota Autumn. I finally broke up with my boyfriend Sean King, he was VERY arrogant.
I got this diary for my birthday. I thought it was going to be stupid, but I like it. I now have a new love. He's a little older me and I think he is very sweet. We have a very strange relationship, but I wont get in to details.
January 30,2011
Today was a great day. I got to see my crush again during Social Studies, and he even talked to me! I was in a triumph when I left because I actually had a conversation with him! When I was talking to him, I learned that we're very different, but that just increased my affection for him. They say that opposites attract. Well, I am already giving away too much so that's all for now.

Time to swap your remote for Pulse-Eight's wireless keyboard?
Subject: Systems | May 30, 2012 - 02:21 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: htpc, motorola, Pulse-Eight, Motorola NYXboard Hybrid, wireless keyboard
Pulse-Eight's Motorola NYXboard Hybrid Wireless Keyboard and IR Remote is a double sided device, with a minimalist keyboard on one side and a more traditional TV remote control on the other. It is perfect for those with an HTPC or set top box which allows web browsing and other features that a standard remote just can't fully control. An internal switch ensures that only the buttons on the side of the device which are currently on the top are active to make usage a lot more convenient. At 144 x 48 x 21mm (5.7" x 1.9" x 0.8") it is too small to have a full standard keyboard but thanks to numerous key chords you get a lot of functionality out of this tiny device. Check with Missing Remote to see if this is the remote missing from your life.
"Not long ago it was easy to lean primarily on a traditional remote control – universal, of course -- relegating the keyboard and mouse to the audio & video (A/V) cabinet, closet, or other locale of last resort –dragging it out just for occasional maintenance or troubleshooting. However, as over-the-top (OTT) content providers such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and YouTube have become more pervasive, the traditional remote can no longer provide enough functionality as we transition to a search, browse and consume environment."

"I look forward to welcoming Motorolans to our family of Googlers"
Subject: General Tech | August 15, 2011 - 01:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: purchase, motorola, google
The tech world is always going through changes; much like life in a pond, the small things either grow into big things or something big eats them. Motorola was once a big fish, but went through some lean times, losing about $4 billion from 2007 to 2009. They started off more than 50 years ago, designing chips for radios and TVs and even providing communication chips to NASA for many missions including the first moon landing. From there they sold off the TV portion to a little known company called Panasonic, so that they could focus on their communications chips and to start dabbling in what became the 6800 and 68000 series of chips. Those chips powered Amigas, the original Apple MacIntoshes; even the joint IBM and Apple PowerPC chips were Motorola and that architecture is still used today.
As of today that once big fish is now a part of Google, as they purchased it at a premium of 63% above market value. That is certainly a decent deal for stockholders and may well be a great deal for Motorola employees as well as they move to a strictly Android based development regime. That may lead to some interesting times in the future, as Google claims that Android will remain open and run on any architecture. However, now that they own a complete closed development chain, in the form of Motorola's patents and hardware, the open philosophy may run counter to the development of hardware. John McCarthy of Forrester Blogs, as well as many others are following this story; though it will be quite a while before we know the full repercussions of the purchase.
"Earlier this morning, Google announced its intention to buy Motorola Mobility for 12.5 Billion in cash or $40/share. There are three broad justifications for the deal:
- Access to the Motorola patent portfolio which it could then license to partners like HTC and Samsung to protect against the long arm of Apple's lawyers.
- An integrated hardware/software play to compete with Apple. The problem with this logic is that the deal does not address the fragmentation on the Android platform which is the bigger issue.
- The set-top business to bolster its lagging Google TV offering."

The S&S IST ignition system has a variable rev limiter which is preset at 6250 rpm, but can be reduced or raised to a maximum of 7200 rpm using the optional S&S Guardian™ Diagnostic System software. The ability to reduce the rev limit is very attractive to owners of balanced Harley-Davidson® Twin Cam 88B™ engines who are concerned about damaging the balancers by over revving. Here's how the rev limiter works. When the engine speed reaches the rev limit, the module goes into a "stutter-fire" mode (a noticeable but not severe combination of fires & misfires). Should the engine speed continue to increase to 256 rpm above the rev limit, the ignition stops sparking the engine until the engine rpm falls below the rev limit. A break-in rev limit program is also available to protect new and rebuilt engines from damage. When this feature is enabled, using the Guardian Diagnostic System software, the initial rev limit is set at 4250 rpm, and increases in three steps, reaching the maximum of 6250 rpm when the engine has accumulated 24 hours of operation. Once enabled, the break-in rev limit program cannot be canceled. It should be noted that IST ignition modules sold with complete S&S engines are slightly different in that they have a maximum rev limit of 6250 rpm and the break-in rev limiter is enabled. The maximum rev limit in those modules cannot be increased.
The new S&S Intelligent Spark Technology ignition system can be installed quickly and easily without permanent modifications to the stock wiring harness on 1994-' 06 motorcycles. S&S wiring harness adapters plug directly into the stock wiring harness of late model carbureted motorcycles. 1986-' 93 Sportster® models along with 1984-' 93 and some 1994 big twin models require minor wiring harness modifications. Once the system is installed, it requires no adjustment. Ignition timing is automatic. You don't need a timing light.
Diagnostics – scan tool, harness jumper, or Guardian™ Diagnostic System
Optional Guardian Diagnostic System allows engine builder increased flexibility and control
Speedometer calibration in 2004-' 06 models requires Guardian Diagnostic System
The same IST module is used for all engines. Installation kits are available that allow connection to the stock wiring harness for specific applications.

First money making opportunities as a kid were cutting grass in summer and shoveling snow in the winter, walking the neighborhoods knocking on doors like a salesman, and of course you had the ones you knew would take the service as repeat customers - these folks were good for other 'odd jobs' too if they caught you when they needed something.

My first real job was bussing tables at the Eagleville Hotel in Monco PA while I was still in school. It was all you can eat clam night and the fireman's fair was across the street and they were uber busy all night. I was supposed to get off at 11PM and got off at 1:30 AM (which I'm not sure was really legal) and my folks told me I didn't have to nor did they really want me to go back.
After High School I worked on a trash truck for about 6 months then got a job as a shipping and receiving clerk in the power transmission business in which I worked in some capacity including inside sales between 78' and 95' with about a three year period mixed in when I drove tractor trailer and again for about 9 months after I got downsized in 95'. I've been working in the water and wastewater field ever since.

Recognizing that words carry weight
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
9 comments posted
Two recent studies have gotten me wondering about common weight terms we use in our nutrition practice — obesity and exercise.
In the first study, Yale researchers looked at parents' perceptions of common terms used to describe excess weight in children. The terms fat, extremely obese and obese were perceived by parents as negative and blaming. These terms were also seen as less likely to encourage weight loss. Instead, terms such as unhealthy weight and weight problem were perceived to be more motivating for weight loss. I suspect that the same holds true when speaking to adults about their excess pounds.
In the second study, University of Michigan researchers looked at rebranding exercise. In other words, using a marketing approach to persuade individuals to exercise. Often health care providers encourage exercise to promote long-term benefits such as health, weight loss and longevity. However, this hasn't seemed to be effective in motivating people to exercise. The researchers looked at shifting the message from what is most important to the clinician to what is most compelling to the patient. They found that individuals were more likely to exercise when the health care providers emphasized the immediate benefits of exercise, such as feeling good, reducing stress and increasing energy.
What struck me most about these studies is that terms we often use in our practice may be off-putting to those we're trying to help. I'm sure that this will create ample controversy. Some people may think that sugar coating our words may not portray the importance of the need to lose unwanted pounds and to exercise regularly. On the other hand, using more tactful terms to discuss weight — or to encourage exercise — may be the best way to achieve those goals.
