Down East 2013 ©
Louis Philippe is onstage at the Franco-American Heritage Center in Lewiston's mill district, tickling the ivories of a Steinway grand piano and nearing the end of his first song. "I love Paris," he croons. "Why, oh why, do I love Paris? Because my love is near. . . . "
As the applause fades, the slender, bespectacled singer turns toward his audience, a mostly gray-haired crowd filling two-thirds of this elegant concert hall in the erstwhile St. Mary's Church. "Most of you already know that that song was written by Cole Porter," Philippe says, "but I bet you didn't know that it's not the original version. The original version was written by a Canadian who migrated to the Androscoggin River Valley to work in the mills in the 1920s. Here's how it goes."
Philippe's fingers begin dancing on the keys. "I love Rumford in the springtime," he sings. "I love Augusta in the fall . . . I love Fort Kent in the winter, when it drizzles . . . I love Biddeford in the summer, when it sizzles. . . ." Philippe leans into the piano and amps up his voice. "But I love Lewiston every moment" — the house erupts into thunderous applause — "every moment of the year! I love Lewiston, why, oh why, do I love Lewiston? Because my love is near. . . . "
Midway into my second day of playing tourist in Lewiston and Auburn, I've happened upon La Rencontre (The Get Together), a monthly luncheon in the heart of Little Canada, a neighborhood settled by French Canadian mill workers in the late 1800s. At seven dollars, the meal (today it's a traditional boiled dinner of ham, potatoes, carrots, turnips, and cabbage) is a steal, but that's not the main attraction, nor for that matter is the after-dinner performance, even though Philippe, a Portland musician with L-A roots, is clearly a favorite.
Rather, the opportunity to converse in French, the first language of many of the attendees, is the big draw. "Parlez-vous français?" my tablemates asked me when I arrived. "Un peu," I replied, quickly adding, "Actually, not well at all." For that, I was good-naturedly fined one dollar, which I plunked in the kitty at the center of the table, my contribution to the day's raffle (judging from the cup's full contents, francophones freely pay up, too).
I've wanted to poke around Lewiston (38,000) and Auburn (23,690), these close-knit mill city sisters on opposite banks of the Androscoggin River, ever since I chatted with a Bates College senior a year or so ago. She'd grown up in a tony Boston suburb, the sort of place that people call a good place to raise children, which they do, and then they move away. "No one is really invested in the town," she lamented. So where did this young woman "really, really want to live and work" after graduation? L-A. "Lewiston has so much history," the student enthused. "To say you're from Lewiston really means something."
Now I am letting her words and experiences guide me as I explore downtown L-A. To be sure, La Rencontre, part Lawrence Welk Show, part French immersion class, is unlikely to make it into your Fodor's travel guide, but then the twin cities are an unconventional destination to begin with. More than ten years into a spunky comeback, L-A is still recovering from the painful collapse of the textile, shoe, and brick mills that once employed more than 14,000 people. Gentrified it's not, but if you're willing to do more than scratch the surface, you'll find much to appreciate, not least being an unrivaled sense of community identity and belonging. More than half of L-A's residents are of Franco-American descent, and they are immensely proud of their mill-town roots. Now they and their new neighbors, the three thousand Somalis who have resettled here over the past decade, are working hard to build a better future.
Unconventional, too, is a winter visit to a metropolis whose biggest public events — the Great Falls Balloon Festival, the Bates Dance Festival, and the Dempsey Challenge — take place in summer and fall. In fact, winter brings far more occasions around which a daytrip can be fashioned, beginning with the opening of Lost Valley, a small, picturesque ski area in the Auburn woods where three-time Olympian Julie Parisien learned to ski. On the Bates College campus, meanwhile, there are dozens of art exhibits, concerts, film screenings, and theatrical and dance productions. The Franco-American Heritage Center, L/A Arts, and the Public Theatre, a thriving professional theater, are more active this time of year as well.
Once you have selected a main event, what else to include on your urban safari? I start with the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, the gothic edifice whose 168-foot twin granite spires are visible from almost every downtown corner. "This is the pride of Lewiston," Robert Pelletier tells me as he switches on the lights in the upper church, which is modeled after the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres in France. "My grandmother and grandfather built this cathedral with their nickels, dimes, and pennies." With no munificent benefactor to help them realize their dream of a bigger church, Pelletier explains, mill workers raised the eight hundred thousand dollars themselves, putting hundreds of Maine men to work during the depths of the Depression.
Pelletier knows the basilica, the largest church in Maine and the second largest in New England, inside and out. As a child, he served as an altar boy and sang in the choir. A maintenance worker for the past three years, he ventures into areas few parishioners see, like the narrow crawl space above the barrel-vaulted ceiling.
Despite his familiarity with the cathedral, Pelletier remains in awe, and it's easy to see why. It is magnificent in its vastness and its details. A Casavant organ with 4,695 pipes, crowned by a great rose window, dominates the back of the church. The three hundred-foot center aisle bisects row upon row of oak pews (enough to seat 1,800 people) on its way to a double-sided altar of Italian marble. "When I was a kid, you used to have to have a ticket to get into midnight Mass," Pelletier recalls.
My admiration for the sheer feistiness of Lewiston and Auburn's ongoing revitalization deepens at Museum L-A, which opened six years ago with looms, spinning frames, and other artifacts rescued from the vacant mills. Located in the massive brick Bates Mill Complex, Museum L-A illuminates the twin cities' economic and social legacy in a very personal way — through the individual stories of the people who once labored here. The recently opened "Shoemaking Skills of Generations," featuring shoe workers' portraits by documentary photographer Mark Silber and oral histories recorded by historian Andrea L'Hommedieu, is the third installment in the "Portraits & Voices" exhibit series. A map dotted with colored markers reveals the magnitude of the shoe industry: At one time, Auburn was the largest producer of shoes in the U.S., with twelve factories employing eight thousand people making seventy thousand pairs of shoes a day. Scores of tanneries, box companies, heel makers, pattern makers, and builders of shoe-making machinery were spread throughout both cities. Excerpts from the first two "Portraits & Voices" exhibits, focusing on textile and brick workers, are installed in a second-floor gallery, reached by a walk through cavernous loom rooms awaiting redevelopment. "We have so many people come in here who point to a loom or some other piece of equipment and say, 'That's my machine,' " archivist Susan Beane tells me. "It's hard to find someone in town who is not connected to the shoe and textile industry in some way."
Museum L-A lends perspective when I stroll to nearby Lisbon Street, Lewiston's commercial and civic center. The presence of a big Country Kitchen bread factory in the heart of downtown now seems appropriate in light of the city's manufacturing roots. The aroma of fresh-baked bread follows me as I walk north and imagine how this street hummed when several thousand people worked just a block or two away. When manufacturing moved south and overseas, it was as if a plug had been pulled. The shoppers and workers disappeared. The splendid old storefronts shuttered. After two decades of hard times, during which parts of Lisbon Street gained an unsavory reputation, the street is in fascinating transition. Dozens of small Somali variety stores, selling everything from lentils and halal meat to head scarves and flowery skirts to animal skin drums, have brought once-vacant buildings back to life. The upper end of Lisbon, which was never abandoned by the law offices seeking proximity to the district courthouse, hosts another aspect of the new L-A: Fuel, its new more casual sister Marché, and Mother India are part of a nascent foodie culture.
For local flavor, however, it's hard to beat Simones' Hot Dog Stand, just off Lisbon on Chestnut Street. When I stop in for coffee, owner Jim Simones (pronounced Simone-iss) strikes up a conversation. He takes me to the front window and points out where his grandfather, James, a Greek immigrant, began selling hot dogs for five cents apiece (six for a quarter) in 1908. "The place had only four seats and they'd pass the hot dogs through a window," Simones says. Simones' moved into its current digs, a full-fledged diner with a bright yellow counter and several tables, in 1966. Woe to the candidate who does not make a campaign stop at Simones'. Senator Olympia Snowe, a Lewiston native, is well represented among the photographs of politicians adorning the walls.
Other neighborhood favorites include Lewiston's Italian Bakery, which not only makes a mean Italian sandwich but also has a bit of a Franco accent — the take-home red salmon pot pie, tourtière (meat pie), and baked beans are local legend. Also in Lewiston, the Pop Shoppe is a great place to start the day Franco-style — the menu includes crêpes and toast with cretons, a traditional Quebecois spiced pork paté. Or consider Rolly's Diner in Auburn ("Our specialty?" the menu boasts, "Good cooking and plenty of it!"), which in the tradition of the best diners, serves breakfast all day. Amid the usual egg and pancake plates, the menu offers several varieties of "Mémére Blais' crêpes" — lemon pucker, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, and brown sugar. Mémére Blais was owner Ken Blais' grandmother. Rolly (pronounced Role-y) is his mother and business partner.
I realize I've visited L-A at a compelling time in its history. With the Franco heritage still strong, the Somali culture just beginning to make its own imprint, and the continuing redevelopment of the twin cities' downtowns, L-A is changing rapidly. I look forward to seeing what it does next.

Feature Stories
Elemental Zinc Sulfide and the Tri-Mode Seeker
All-Weather, Affordable Missile Gives Warfighters Unfair Advantage
Smoke. Dust. Fog. Sandstorms.
The enemy uses them to avoid detection when moving on the battlefield because they know that no missile to-date is capable of engaging moving targets through bad weather and battlefield obscurants.
Thankfully, that's about to change. The Raytheon-Boeing Joint Air-to-Ground missile or JAGM, which is currently in development, leverages a state-of-the-art seeker that seamlessly integrates millimeter wave radar and uncooled imaging infrared sensors in a way that allows it to hit its target whether or not there's bad weather or other obscurants.
Raytheon's tri-mode seeker - central to JAGM's guidance system - can track moving targets through clouds, fog, sandstorms or smoke.
(Download high resolution image.)
But capability is only part of the story. In today's challenging fiscal environment, the warfighter doesn't just need a weapon that works. That weapon also has to be affordable.
JAGM is being developed in increments by the U.S. Army, an approach driven by budget constraints that led to a restructuring of the program in early 2012 with a sharper focus on affordablity. The incremental approach to development also means some capabilities will be deferred to future development stages.
In the first increment, the guidance section will be integrated by the Army with currently qualified and fielded missile components including the warhead, rocket motor and control actuation system.
Raytheon's tri-mode seeker is state-of-the-art technology that was successfully flight tested and is now in Engineering, Manufacturing and Development for the U.S. Air Force and Navy Small Diameter Bomb II (SDB II) program. Based on current schedules, the tri-mode seeker will be in its second year of production with SDB II by the time JAGM continued technology development concludes, and well-ahead of future JAGM increment requirements.
JAGM will replace three legacy missiles, which means instead of three global supply chains, there's only one. That translates to lower lifecycle cost over the life of the weapon. And unlike older missiles, which use different rocket motors for fixed- and rotary-wing operations, ATK and Boeing have further reduced the logistics trail by developing a rocket motor proven to meet the rigorous requirements of future JAGM increments in government testing.

Hutchins Grant Winner Looks Forward to Seeing Her Research Applied |
Written by Chelsey Drysdale | |||
Friday, 15 March 2013 09:15 | |||
Georgia Institute of Technology graduate student Xian Qin in October became the latest recipient of the much-sought after Charles Hutchins Educational Grant. The Ph.D. candidate's project, "Highly Reliable Low CTE Interposer to Printed Wiring Board SMT Interconnections" beat out several other applicants for the $5,000 grant. Qin, who is scheduled to receive her Ph.D. in 2015, has a bachelor's in engineering from Beijing's Tsinghua University. She spoke in to CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY senior editor Chelsey Drysdale this week about her research, professional plans, and her time in Atlanta. CD: What will your Ph.D. be in when you finish school? XQ: My Ph.D. will be in material science and engineering. CD:What research are you currently working on? XQ: I am working on highly reliable interconnections from low CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) interposers to organic printed wiring boards. Low CTE interposers, such as silicon and glass, are being explored widely as next-generation substrates to address the issues with organic substrates, including low-dimensional stability, which limits the I/O density and system miniaturization. However, low CTE interposers pose reliability challenges on the reliability of interconnections, due to the large CTE mismatch. I am trying to achieve reliable interconnections to address the CTE mismatch challenge, while maintaining SMT compatibility and manufacturability, by applying stress-relief buffer materials and compliant metal springs. CD: Where do you envision yourself working after you finish grad school? Are you planning to go into academia or take your skills and knowledge into the industry to work for a company outside of the university system? XQ: During my Ph.D. with the Packaging Research Center at Georgia Tech, I am already exposed to a lot of "real world" problems, which are highly interesting to the industry, and we have a lot of cooperation with the companies in our consortium. I plan to join industry after I graduate, to better my knowledge of the business side of my research, and see my work in the devices that people use in daily life. CD: What was your reaction to winning the grant? CD: What are your areas of interest in general? CD: Do you like living in Georgia? Do you plan to stay in the US after school or head back home to China? Ed: The Charles Hutchins Grant is co-sponsored by the SMTA and CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY.

How do you know whether an intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will work? First you need to be clear about the claims being made about the intervention and what it can do for your child. The next step is to find out whether these claims have been properly tested, and whether the tests have provided any reliable proof that the intervention really works.
Any treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will make a claim about how it will help your child. It might claim to improve your child's symptoms, teach skills or even 'cure' ASD. Testing the intervention involves checking what it claims to do against what happens in reality, when real people use the intervention. This process is also called 'evaluating' the intervention.
Essentially, testing matters because – conducted properly – it can tell you whether the intervention does what it's supposed to do.
Whether it's a new skin cream, new computer software or interventions for ASD, most people agree that the best way to test something is to use a scientific approach. Science provides the best tools we have to conduct a fair test of whether something works.
Science tests interventions by:
Done well, this means a fair test has been done and that the test results are reliable.
Certain things don't count as a test:
Once researchers do a study to test an intervention, they might write a paper about the study and its results and submit the paper for publication in a journal. Any worthwhile journal will 'peer review' as part of its publication process. This means that the paper is sent off to other researchers who are given no information about who or where the study has come from. The researchers look at the study's data, methodology, results and conclusions. If they approve the study based on these, the paper can be published.
There are two important points to note here. In the scientific community, not much weight is given to tests results that have not been:
Also, a single study rarely gets much attention. But if a number of studies point to the same results, those results begin to gain acceptance. Still, things change in science. Over time, new studies might challenge the accepted beliefs about an intervention. This is a good thing – the research process is about constant questioning, so that existing therapies can be improved or better ones can be developed.
Sometimes researchers publish a 'systematic review' about an intervention. This means that they look at all studies done on the intervention, carefully pulling them together and comparing the results to find and publish some overall conclusions about the intervention. Systematic reviews offer the most reliable conclusions you'll find about an intervention.
Properly testing interventions isn't always as easy as it sounds. This is why there is a lot of confusion about what does and doesn't work.
Also, not all people working in autism research take a scientific approach to their work. This is one reason why fad therapies come about and claims about 'cures' are made and gain attention.
Example: the leaky gut theory of autism It has been observed that a proportion of children with autism seem to have gut problems like food allergies or a 'leaky gut' (where chemicals leak from the gut into the nervous system). This observation has led to various ideas or theories about some gut problems being unique to autism – even 'causing' autism. In turn, this has led to untested or poorly tested interventions based on changing the child's diet.
In an example like this, more testing is needed to find out whether:

Description |
Featured in Disney's Fantasia, the "Pastoral" Symphony paints vivid scenes of gathering thunderstorms, wandering brooks, and breezy countrysides. Both Webern's Passacaglia and Berg's Wozzeck received their U.S. premieres in Philadelphia as part of Stokowski's vision for 20th-century music. Barbara Hannigan stuns audiences with her dramatic portrayal (and provocative costuming) in scenes from Ligeti's thrilling opera, Le Grande Macabre. |

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

A Fantastic Opportunity with Mr. Fox
Working with Wes Anderson is always an adventure and perhaps never more so than on his first stop-motion feature, Fantastic Mr. Fox (opening today from Fox Searchlight). As one filmmaker puts it, "His fascination with the fine detail of clothing is fascinating -- the correct position of a button hole in an animated character's jacket, his interest in keeping the 'imperfections' of traditional stop-motion, his lack of interest in polished finish."
Indeed, for Roald Dahl's Fox, Anderson insisted on fur and shooting on 2s: two no-nos for stop-motion. But the unconventional director wasn't about to approach stop-motion in any conventional way, inspired by Le Roman De Renard (The Tale of the Fox) by Ladislas Starevich as well as the films of Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen.
So what was it like for two other newcomers to the world of stop motion feature animation: Christian DeVita, the lead story artist, and Mark Gustafson, the animation director? DeVita (Chop Socky Chooks, Gordon the Garden Gnome, Space Jam) has his own company in London, One Hand Clapping, but was hold up with Anderson in Paris for more than a year while production took place at Three Mills in East London. Meanwhile, Gustafson (Ananda, The PJs) had to accommodate both an unorthodox working procedure and working remotely with Anderson.
"I was brought in the project early on," suggests DeVita. "After the first pass of sketches, Wes asked me to work with him closely in Paris. My responsibility was to produce the animatic with two members of the editorial team. Initially, we thought we'd be there for a month or so and that escalated to more than a year. There were several versions of the animatic: scenes got cut while others never made it into the movie. We were working right through the last week of animation and I was producing boards that potentially could be in the movie. The animatics were a great way for us to try so many different versions and just get it right.
"Wes was very much hands on in every aspect from design right on through the type of stitching on the clothing and texture on the wallpaper as well as how characters would move and act. He performed every character in front of a free camera and we'd put together [something] for all of the animators to follow. Even though he wasn't on set, it was like he was on every single set [remotely]."

The Brekkie Crew got their DANCE on !!! |
Last night Travis and I embarked on our dancing career with the Footloose Rockers as we've signed up for The Rock n Roll with The Illawarra Stars Extravaganza! We arrived at The Frat to a room full of couples dancing up a storm, reminding me of a scene out of Strictly Ballroom. We we're quickly whisked away to a back room. Not because we were VIP or anything but because we are at the beginner-beginner level (a loooong way from the spin with a partner moves!) Geoff Routh from Footloose Rockers started off by showing us the basics. Surprisingly, I picked it up pretty quickly and was spinning around on the dance floor (albeit with little co-ordination) in not time! Travis on the other hand….well lets just say that when he said his feet were like besser blocks, he wasn't lying! Dancing & Travis…not the most natural mix: Here's Trav getting taught how to count to 6 (harder for him than you'd think!) and a couple of the Footloose Rockers showing us how it's done: Man, August 25 doesn't seem that far away. How are we possibly going to be fit for public consumption then!!!! Check out the video of us trying to dance (I nearly have a stack!): Dim lights Embed Embed this video on your site The Rock n Roll with The Illawarra Stars Extravaganza will be at Dapto Leagues Club on the 25th of August. |

Jan. 20: Third Sunday Archeology to Unveil Recent Discoveries at Kimball Village
January's installment of Augustana's Third Sunday Archeology Program will feature Lynn Alex, director of Education and Outreach at the University of Iowa's Office of the State Archaeologist. Alex's discussion on "What's Old is New Again: Recent Discoveries at Kimball Village, A.D. 1100-1250" will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 20, at the Gilbert Science Center Auditorium (GSC #100) on the Augustana Campus.
Nine hundred years ago, fortified villages in clusters of tightly-spaced earthlodges protected by ditch and wooden stockade defenses dotted northwest Iowa. Until the 20th century, the earliest and best-preserved site, Kimball Village, was buried in the Big Sioux River valley just north of Sioux City, Iowa. As part of a WPA work program, more than 9,000 stone, bone, shell and pottery artifacts, evidence of three to four houses and signs of trading with other villages were unearthed in 1939. Seventy years later, the site was re-examined as part of a project to identify cultural resources in the Loess Hills of Iowa and to answer questions about what might remain beneath the site's surface.
Lynn Alex received her B.A. with high distinction from the University of Kentucky and her M.A. in anthropology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where she also completed her preliminary doctoral studies. Since that time, she has held numerous research positions and participated in many field excavations throughout the Midwest. Alex has also authored several books, including "Iowa's Archaeological Past" (2000) and "The Immense Journey, Loess Hills Cultural Resource Study" (2010). She lived in South Dakota for over a decade where she taught, conducted archaeological research and served as a trustee for the State Historical Society of South Dakota.
The illustrated lecture is free and open to the public with a question-and-answer session to follow.
This program is funded in part by Augustana College's Mellon Fund Committee, by Augustana's Archeology Laboratory, and by the Sioux Falls Chapter of the South Dakota Archaeological Society.

Recently, my dog's been keeping his tail tucked under. It used to curl up. What's wrong?
There are a few reasons dogs will keep their tails tucked between their legs, but most commonly the behavior is a response to pain or discomfort. Many dogs are prone to back or hip pain, for example. Raising the tail can place pressure against these sore areas, so the dog keeps it tucked under.
Dogs will also keep their tails tucked because of emotional distress. When they are depressed, frustrated, stressed, or afraid, they may tuck their tails to demonstrate their emotions. Stressful changes in a dog's home environment could cause these emotional responses.
Talk to your veterinarian about the change in your dog's behavior. He or she can check for physical problems that may be causing your dog discomfort, as well as investigating emotional and other causes.

Nutrition for the Athlete
Proper nutrition helps improve overall health and athletic performance and is a major factor in preventing sports-related injuries.
By eating appropriate foods, and the right amount of foods, athletes can ensure they are fueling their bodies adequately and are properly fortified to withstand the challenges of advanced or extensive athletic activity. Eating correctly also provides the additional nutrients required to heal muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments and other tissues that may be stressed during training or performance.
At Hurley Medical Center, our orthopedic surgeons and physicians can refer you to nutritionists and other consultants who can help you develop and implement an effective eating plan. The following recommendations are not comprehensive but are a good place to start.
The President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition offers the following guidelines for eating before, during and after exercising:
Before Exercising
- Have some high-carbohydrate foods such as bananas, bagels or fruit juices. These foods are broken down quickly and provide glucose to the muscles.
- The timing of this meal depends on athletes' preference for eating before exercise, but researchers have found that eating something from one to four hours before exercise helps keep plenty of blood glucose available for working muscles.
- It is also critical to drink plenty of cool water before exercise to keep muscles hydrated.
During Exercise
- Perspiration and exertion deplete the body of fluids necessary for an optimal performance and lead to dehydration. It is important to drink plenty of cool water, at least a half a cup of water every 20 minutes of exercise. Adding a teaspoon of sugar, a little fruit juice or a small amount of powdered drink mix flavors plain water and may encourage fluid intake.
- Usually there is no need to worry about replacing carbohydrates unless the exercise lasts over 90 minutes and is hard and continuous. When this happens, drinking a sports drink or other beverage with some sugar in it will add fuel and water to the muscles being exercised.
- Make a homemade sports drink by mixing no more than 4 teaspoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and some flavoring (like a teaspoon of lemon juice) in 8 ounces of water.
After Exercising
- If the exercise was strenuous and lasted a long time, glycogen stores may need refueling. Consuming foods and beverages high in carbohydrates right after exercise will replenish glycogen stores if they are low after exercising.
- No matter the intensity of the exercise, it's important to drink plenty of water and eat a nutritious, balanced meal that has lots of carbohydrate rich foods such as grains, pastas, potatoes, vegetables and fruits.

Hopefully. Weather keeps this up and it'll be longer yet. Hard to leave a boat floating when it's this hot out!
I said from the beginning I'm over my head, it's an in depth project and I'm learning a ton but that slows things down quite a bit too. Once the weather cools down and life slows down a little, I'll get back to it. It's not a priority right now.

Stupid as it sounds, the major hang up right now is the stripped out bolt holes for the x member mount for the AX-15. I don't have a heli-coil set and a nut won't go in without grinding on the casting. It's not a big thing but it slows me down, little stuff like that has been killing me. I haven't spent more than 5 min looking at it, that's first on my list when I get back to it. The T-case is ready to go, crossmember needs to be finish welded, make driveshafts, run brake lines, coolant hoses, put battery in and it's ready for a trip through the field. There's a ton more to do after that but I need to drive it through the field to feel like I accomplished anything so that's my new goal. One day at a time, it'll get done eventually.

Took a couple pictures tonight. Crossmember is finished. Tapped AX-15 out to 1/2-13, we'll see how that holds up. Put shifters in, hooked up cable shifters, shifts good so I'm happy about all the work I put in for now. Stuff for Erin:
Last 2 are taken from the top of the front pinion at ride height. Have to stay with 1.5" dom for the driveshaft to clear. Where the exhaust is going to go............um yeah. Putting rocker guards in place from Ricky at the moment. Little bit here and there. Get 2.5 hours to work on it this week Freehand is where it's at! That's all for this week

WTF! Is that cross member a joke or are my eyes failing me?! Is the cross section really about .5" tall? And crossmembers with rigid bushings that far out are great at breaking adapters, cases and stripping bolts. Just keep an eye on it... Chances are, it'll be fine for a while.
Other than that, it good to see you making progress again!

Ok, it makes a little more sense....
If you want an idea to go on, you could make new mounts for the cables tha mount them next to the case as opposed to under it. Then make new extensions for the rails that clear the yoke and d shaft and allow actuation from the new cable location. Make a new cross member that bolts in there but doesn't have bushings that far out and put a plate off the front side to mount a factory style bushing right where your bolts for the cross member and trans/t case mate now. Minimal tear up but the hardest part would be redoing the shifter cable mounts while not giving up any feel on the actuation. $0.02

Its Worth the money By Oscar on 11/24/13
Oscar would recommend this product to a friendAfter purchasing this item i felt that i spent too much money on a check valve. When i received it and installing it I was more then pleased with my purchase. I could easily clean it unlike my old flapper check valves i have on my older tanks. I will soon purchase more to replace the older ones. -
Very Nice By MICHAELO on 9/30/13
MICHAELO would recommend this product to a friendThis is a well built back flow check valve. A little pricey, but considering what it will help you not have (i.e flood) it pays for itself. If you want a guaranteed check valve that you can physically take out ,clean and inspect. This ones for you! -

GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR By MAREK on 12/4/12
MAREK would recommend this product to a friendIt's the best check valve on the market. I switched from a different brand. George Fisher check valve is more expensive but worth it. -
Good materials, but does not reliable By Kevin on 7/6/12
Kevin wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI was very impressed with this check valve out of the box, but it fails to close 1 out of 10 times during my feed cycle. I have two of these plumbed into two different returns, and both exhibit the same behavior. The units have been used for less than 3-4 weeks, so they are not dirty. I am disappointed in the performance given the high cost. -
Simple and functional By Kyle on 5/19/12
Kyle would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this check valve because I was skeptical of the cheaper flapper-style ones. Replacing plumbing is not something that I enjoy doing, so I wanted to get a quality valve that would last. This valve works exactly as it's designed to and is very easy to disassemble and clean. One thing to think about though is the pump that you plan on using with this valve. I have a Tunze Silence 1073.05 that is variable speed and I found that I needed to have it nearly cranked to the max to provide enough pressure to raise the valve. This is fine because I run my return pump wide open anyway, but if you have a less powerful pump, you might find that it isn't powerful enough to open the valve. Overall, a great product worth the price and I would certainly recommend it if you're looking for a check valve. -
beautiful piece By Sergio on 5/2/12
Sergio would recommend this product to a friendworks great and is very well made, spend the extra dollars! -
great valve, but call for sizing By Hugo on 3/17/12
Hugo would recommend this product to a friendi have .75" flexible tubing in my sump, and figured this would fit. The slip ends themselves are actually 1" and 1/16" inches, my .75" tubing wont fit. The valve: Inner diameter is .75", outer slip fit diameter 1.0625 (1" and 1/16"), end to end is 6.25" and at the widest part it is 3.375" (3" and 3/8"). Great looking valve, great build quality, I hope my review saves some people an unexpected trip to the plumbing store. -
Quality is worth the price By Thomas on 3/13/12
Thomas would recommend this product to a friendMy initial return had a swing check valve. when the pump turned off a huge water hammer developed that would take several minutes to resolve. I replaced the swing check with this valve and no more water hammers. The design and quality is so much better than a swing check. -
love this item! By matthew on 10/2/11
matthew would recommend this product to a friendI had to many problems with my water siphoning back into my sump, so i looked into there check valve and even tho it was pricey well worth every penny! very heavy duty also.

"Ridiculous" is the word Teresa Townsley uses to describe the cars that have crashed into her front yard this year.
"There should be no excuse for these kinds of accidents," she said.
Twice in the last six months, cars have slammed into the front yard of the Townsley's small farm on 16th Avenue, between 208th and 216th Streets.
It's a slightly hilly but straight section of road. So Townsley doesn't know why she's cleaning up a shattered fence and glassstrewn front field after Sunday's crash.
She and her family were at the back of their five-acre property during the most recent crash.
"It sounded like a lumber truck had lost its load, because of the way the car had gone through all our fencing," Townsley said.
The driver walked away from the accident, but one beam of the fence smashed through the car's front windshield directly above the passenger seat.
Fortunately, the driver was the only occupant.
"If he'd had a passenger, the passenger would have been decapitated," said Townsley, a former emergency room nurse.
The crash also hit a field where the family usually keeps animals, and where their children are often present. Neither humans nor animals were there at the time.
The first crash took place during slippery conditions, and saw another lone driver lose control and slam into a power pole that connected wire to the Townsley house.
Emergency and repair crews had to block the driveway for most of the day.
"We just couldn't get out of our own property," Townsley said.
Townsley isn't the only victim of random crashes, as she said that she's seen about half a dozen similar crashes on the one-mile strip of road recently. Her neighbours have also seen cars plow off the road into their yards.
One of her neighbours uses a wheelchair, and can't make it across the street to use the regional mailbox safely.
"It's only a matter of time before someone's seriously injured," she said.
She wants the Township to do something about the speed and the type of traffic that zips back and forth on 16th Avenue.
The busy road is one that has been a perpetual thorn in the side of both traffic cops and Township road planners for many years.
The road has a 60 km/h speed limit for most of its length through Langley, but typical speeds are often in excess of 80 km/h. There have been a number of serious and fatal accidents on the road.
As Townsley points out, the road is also used by equestrians and cyclists, yet there are a great many drivers and they drive too fast.
"There has to be some way of mitigating the speed," she said.
The street has been the subject of several horrific accidents, including the hit and run slaying of Silas O'Brien, and the 2011 death of Jim "D.K." Neiss, a 59year-old bus driver for Langley School District, who was hit by a dump truck while he drove to work.

Sorin Group Announces U.S. Launch Of Xtra® Autotransfusion System
ARVADA, Colo., April 29, 2011– Sorin Group, (Reuters Code: SORN.MI), a global medical device company and a leader in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, is proud to announce the launch in the U.S. of XTRA, the next-generation of Sorin's autotransfusion (ATS) device family.
An autotransfusion system is a sophisticated piece of medical equipment that allows collection, processing and reinfusion of autologous blood during and after surgical interventions in many applications including cardiac, orthopedic, vascular, obstetrics, trauma and others, as well as preoperative sequestration of whole blood components.
Sorin's XTRAATS System is the culmination of over 30 years of experience in ATS system design and manufacturing.
The XTRAbuilds on state-of-the-art technology, introducing innovative solutions through functional design, graphic color operator's interface and advanced data management.
Building on the design of Sorin's C5 and S5 world's leading heart lung machines (HLM), the XTRAis an intuitive and powerful system, providing high quality end-product, fast processing and quietness during operation. A small volume disposable option also handles low blood volume loss typical in pediatrics and orthopedic cases.
Collecting and reinfusing autologous blood has gained renewed interest due to the increasing risks associated with donor blood transfusion. Blood recovered from a patient's own body reduces the risk of adverse reactions and infectious disease transmission, conserves blood supplies and provides cost savings.
"XTRArepresents our most innovative and powerful system to date and is designed to meet the most demanding blood management program requirements for ensuring patient safety and improving surgical outcomes. We are looking forward to extensively offer the benefits of our new XTRAsystem to both patients and clinicians", said Michel Darnaud, President, Cardiopulmonary Business Unit and Intercontinental, Sorin Group.
Customers evaluating the system stated that ''XTRAis a step forward with respect to the state of the art in terms of innovation'', ''a futuristic device truly designed with the operator and patient in mind'', as well as '' a system perfectly inserted in Sorin Group's high quality and innovative products''.
After an extensive market assessment study conducted in the U.S. and over four thousand clinical cases successfully conducted worldwide to date, the XTRAATS System has been recently showcased in the U.S. at the American Society of ExtraCorporeal Technology (AmSECT) 49th International Conference, New Orleans, LA on April 13-16, 2011.

July 31, 2011 The Difference Between Text Marketing and Advertising Via Text [DMA11]
A lot of people confuse the concept of text marketing with advertising via text, but there are subtle differences between the two that should be understood by anyone considering either option. Advertising via text is possible, as long as you get the recipient's opt in approval to send marketing messages to their mobile device. But it's not nearly as effective as text marketing, which consist of much more than just handing your customers the electronic equivalent of a post-it note saying "Don't forget to send your business our way."
Effective text marketing relies on creativity and your willingness to offer sometimes deeply discounted products or services as a way of driving traffic to your business – whether that business is online or a brick and mortar establishment. With text marketing, companies can announce timely discounts that offer true value to the customer who decides to opt in to an SMS marketing campaign. On the other hand, static advertising via text on its own is far less impactful.
If you're interested in learning more about the subtle differences that can make or break a text marketing campaign, enrolling in workshops and one-on-one labs that'll give you the opportunity to take cues from those who have achieved long standing success is your best bet. You can find both at the upcoming DMA2011 Conference and Exhibition in October, a leading industry event that brings marketing experts, marketing technology providers, and thousands of attendees from over 50 countries across the globe.

The United Church of Christ issued an appeal for $250,000 to support Typhoon Haiyan response efforts.
Typhoon Haiyan has killed as many as 10,000 people in the Philippines, the BBC reported. Nearly 4.5 million persons have been affected by the storm. Hardest hit is the central Philippine city of Tacloban, which is said to be flattened. Cities and towns in other parts of the Philippines are also facing huge losses.
While the impact of the weakened typhoon in Vietnam is yet to be fully assessed, the UCC will respond there with recovery support if it is needed. Overall, the UCC will support the Long-term relief efforts which will most likely require multiple years for recovery.
Reprinted with permission
I said a fond farewell to Gig Harbor last week and moved into my dorm at the University of Washington. I'm thrilled to be starting my freshman year of college, but that I would someday get to attend a university was never really in question – not because of my grades or test scores, but because of the systems that have surrounded and supported me for 18 years.
I was raised in a healthy family and went to a good school, and with the help of government programs, I was able to strengthen my college application with extracurricular activities instead of working to save up money.
I am the product of a family, a school and a government that empowered me to be where I am right now. Where would I be without those systems?
This summer, I visited a place where systems have created disadvantages rather than opportunities. With the youth group from the Fox Island United Church of Christ, I spent a week serving the community of White Swan, a town on the Yakama Indian Reservation.
White Swan is the slum of the reservation; 43 percent of people there live below the poverty level. Alcoholism is pervasive, feral dogs and cats roam the streets, and vandalism is everywhere.
The youth group cleaned up a playground littered with broken glass, painted bunk beds at a homeless shelter, and worked on a farm that donates food to families in need.
We hoped that, in some small way, our work would improve the lives of the people around us. But it was impossible to ignore the insignificance of our contributions against the seemingly insurmountable poverty and hardship the community faces. There was nothing we could do to heal families with teens who litter and break windows, no way we could create jobs for people seeking employment, and no solution we could offer the alcoholics who lived in the shelter.
What created those conditions?
David Bell, the director of our mission program, explained:
In the 1800s, the federal government forced American Indian bands from across eastern Washington onto one reservation. Repercussions of their confinement still influence the economy today; the ruggedness and isolation of the reservation land make it a poor place for farming or commerce. White Swan has faced economic disadvantages since it was established.
But the impact the U.S. government had on the Yakama Nation is far more insidious than financial disparity: between 1860 and 1893, the government forced all Indian families to send their children away to boarding schools with the goal of making them assimilate into white culture.
Even after children were no longer forced into the schools, parents continued to send them until the 1970s; having themselves grown up away from their families, new parents struggled to raise their kids.
Thus, a century of boarding schools devastated a key system in White Swan – families.
I went to White Swan thinking my mission was to fix up a slum, but the town itself is not the issue. Rather, flawed systems – the federal government, the economy and the family – have created the cycle of poverty and hurt that has plagued the community for more than a century.
It's hard to comprehend how the same institutions that have given me such advantages have damaged the lives of others so greatly. But I've realized that's why I am in college, so that — someday, more educated and more influential — I might be able to change some of the systems.
All I've managed so far is to go on a summer mission trip, but I hope all of us who are born into situations of advantage make it our mission to change our institutions until they provide the same benefits to all people.

Specifically designed to melt your mind and leave your jaw planted firmly in your lap, this release is not for the faint of heart. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

all i'm hoping for is an update at this point.
all i'm hoping for is an update at this point.
As much as I would love to have a scarlet to record my little girl opening her presents at 4k I think I will just have to suffice with the good ole VHS Camera....89 style!
The "no news is good news" comments are absolute nonsense. For a company that loves to gloat, I find the lack of information is quite telling.
you guys gotta chill. patience... seriously.
the anxiety and negativity really doesn't help anyone. find something to do, like... enjoy your holidays, and you'll be much happier when you get your camera.
That's me...
I'm flying to L.A. from Toronto to pick it up. There was no way it would get to us before we leave on a shoot Boxing Day (Dec 26 for our American cousins) that will be 2 weeks in Japan, then we hit other production pretty hard when we return to T.O.
Before everyone jumps on me about relying on an untested cam for production - I'll be brining it to the shoot in Japan, but it won't be the primary camera. It'll be a time where I can play with it on my days off and test it out while shoot Japanese YouTube cat videos in glorious 4K!
The problem with this and Jarred comments of being "pretty likely" to get a scarlet before christmas if you ordered in the first hour is that I don't think many actually got an order in online in that first hour. By the list 4 people managed too. All this sadness is making me want to put a deposit on an epic.
I'm very confused...some non events have it, events don't...
I get the whole 'feed the press' kind of thing but didn't event go-ers deserve it even before the press? Which then leads to the non event orders for al that have gone out or going out who aren't press...
Anyway its just confusing how the stuff is going out but as long as its going out thats a good thing right? The thing is though, people speculated mount being the problem but if 2 Als in the last week went out, Cinema5D and Glen's...it can't be an issue...
AAAHHH!!! That backorder update can't come soon enough...
I'm a little confused on that as well. I mean I'm very happy and excited for those getting there cameras but I thought it was stated event goers then by timestamp... if going by that, in that instance it didn't follow it. I'm happy to see more reviews and read more on it but I guess the shipment is more random than we thought. It would be reassuring to hear something more than "I can't make an estimate at this time".
