Hi! I'm Carmen. My daughter is 19 mos old and I'm 12 weeks along with baby #2. I'm looking forward to getting some insight on this adjusment that is about to take place! :-)
Hi Carmen,
Welcome to the forums! My first 2 children were 19 months apart. Having children close together was wonderful, as they grew up being best friends.
Looking forward to getting to know you.
Warm Regards,
Hello! My name is Nikki and I have a 5 month old daughter. As a new mum, I am always researching and trying to figure out what to do at each developmental milestone. I am happy to be here and looking forward to learning!
Hi Nikki,
It's so good to have you here. Infants are my favorite age group, and I miss them (my youngest is 8 now), but look forward to becoming a Grandma in the years to come.
So glad you're here and I look forward to sharing with you.
Warm Regards,
My name is Marianne and I'm a mum to 2 boys ages 7 and 4. I am happy to be here.
I am Carol, a mother of two and a stepmom of four..can you imagine how chaotic our household is? But it's perfectly OK, I know how to deal with the teens and the kids. Though, sibling rivalry is "high" we still managed to make everything will be just fine.
Reading the forums/ threads here are very interesting. It's very educational too!
All the best,
Hello everyone,
My name is Anna, I'm 29 yo and I'm pregnant in 30 weeks with my first baby boy. Everything is new to me, some things worry me, but I know this is a natural process and I want to learn from other mums' experiences.
A very warm welcome to MaryAnne, Carol and Anna! It's wonderful to have you all here. MaryAnne and Carol, I look forward to sharing with you in the forums as you raise your children.
Anna - congratulations on your pregnancy! We're here to encourage you and help you feel completely at ease with the rest of your pregnancy, your birth and caring for your new baby.
Welcome, again!
Warm Regards,
Hello everyone,
My name is Lovely Joy, I'm 25 years old. I'm 2 months pregnant with my first baby. I really want the best for me and my baby, from pregnancy to birth. I want to learn from other experienced mums' about different things that bothers me.
I am really looking forward that you can help me.
Thank you and best regards to all mums' here.
Hi everyone I'm a 27 year old first time mom. I gave birth to my daughter at home as my husband assisted the midwife while I'm giving birth. My daughter is on her 6 months already. As first time parents me and my husband have so many questions with regards to parenting, for sure we will get so much helpful information here. God Bless us all
Lovely Joy & seanntori, welcome to the forums!
Lovely Joy - I remember when I was pregnant with my first child. I was SO excited but at the same time I was VERY nervous. After the first few months I quickly adapted, though I had morning sickness for 5 months, but I enjoyed the rest of the pregnancy very much. Looking forward to answering your questions and supporting you during this wonderful time.
seanntori - so wonderful to hear that you gave birth at home with the assistance of your husband and midwife. What a wonderful experience that is! I love the picture of your daughter - just precious!
Looking forward to giving you insight and support as you travel through your parenting journey with your baby.
Warm Regards,
Hi! I'm Patty and I'm 32 years old. I'm a mum of two. My eldest is a boy and he's 8 years old. My youngest is a girl and she's 4 years old. I have so much questions about parenting and I'm sure I'll get helpful tips from you.
I am Emma, I just turned 45yrs old and just found out I am pregnant with my first baby. I am scared to death and I am even afraid to tell my husband because he has an older daughter (23) from a previous marriage and didnt really want more kids. I am curious to hear other women's stories and hopefully it will give me some peace or direction.
Hi Patty and Hi Emma,
Patty - I look forward to hearing your parenting experiences too. I think this is a great way for mums and dads to share their tips - we can all learn from each other.
Emma - I do hope you find some peace about your situation. You may find your husband is a lot more understanding then you are expecting and he may even be delighted to find out he is having a baby with you. I think it would be good to talk to him about it sooner rather than later. Also, it is not good for you to be feeling stressed or worried. Thinking of you.
Best wishes,

Ivy League Release
PHILADELPHIA - Senior linebacker David Park played the role of hero for the University of Pennsylvania football team during the longest game in Ivy League history on Saturday. For his efforts, the league office announced Park as the Co-Defensive Player of the Week on Monday.
Park forced the first of four overtimes when he blocked a 21-yard field goal as time expired in regulation, he returned a fumble 84 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, recorded the first sack allowed by Dartmouth all season and finished with a career-high seven tackles (five solo), including a tackle for loss and also added a pass breakup. Behind that effort, Penn won its Ivy opener, 37-31, over Dartmouth in the first four overtime game in Ancient Eight history.
This is the first career Ivy weekly honor for Park and the first for the Quakers since Brandon Copeland won the same award following a win over Harvard on Nov. 10, 2012. Park, who shares this week's Ivy distinction with Yale's Cole Champion, was also named a College Sporting News National All-Star.
With the score tied at 21-21, Dartmouth lined up for the potential game-winning, 21-yard field goal with four seconds left. But Park pulled off the miracle the Quakers needed. He got a hand on the ball and sent the game into overtime.
That was just Park's second game-changing play of the day. With the score tied late in the second quarter, Dartmouth drove inside the red zone. However, a Penn sack forced a fumble. Park scooped it up, found daylight and ran 84 yards for the go-ahead score.
Park also added a sack in the second quarter. It was the first allowed by Dartmouth all season. And on the first drive of the game, Park broke up a third down pass to force a punt at midfield.
Park and the Quakers now go on the road to face one of the top teams in the CAA. Saturday's matchup with William & Mary will mark Penn's first trip outside of Philadelphia this season as well as the final non-conference game of the year for the Quakers. Penn's first game at Zable Stadium since 1995 will kick off at 3:30 p.m.

On Flir Ex Series Cameras
Due to evolving demographics, attributed to an increased immigration rates - the number of persons with Limited English Proficiency is on the rise.
Universal Health Care Symbols were developed to represent all the hospital functions that are universal to most health care buildings.
Brady has created these signs to improve the health care environment by creating communication tools that help any visitor navigate through any hospital.
For everyone who works in health care environments, universal symbols can be the key ingredient in satisfying their core health care mission of providing access and help to all in need.
The development of these symbols was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and overseen by the National Program Office of Hablamos Juntos.
Health Care facilities encounter visitors that speak many different languages. These way finding signs can accommodate this multiculturalism by using symbols that everyone is able to comprehend.
Since these symbols represent the most common activities to health care facilities and environments, the construction of these signs can accommodate any health care environment.
These Universal symbols can improve the health care environment by creating a solution that enables a diverse population to arrive at a destination with ease and comfort

Pint of GuinnessScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
How can it be possible that the bubbles in a pint of Guinness move downwards?
AnswerOverall the bubbles travel upwards, and they do this especially in the center of the glass (free from the drap of the glass), but since they cannot escape at the top of the glass, some (the smaller ones) are forced into a circle and move down around the outside of the glass. Thus some bubbles do move down, but overall they travel up!

PORTER, Texas - Six people in Porter were arrested Thursday, accused of a holiday theft ring.
"Right now we're looking at some felony theft charges, possibly some organized crime charges," said Chief Deputy Barry Welch with the Montgomery County Constable's Office.
According to authorities, the group stole more than $2,500 in merchandise from the Walmart on Highway 59 and FM 1314.
One of the six suspects faces an added charge of kidnapping for driving from the scene with a baby in the car, authorities said.
Investigators said a woman who knew the group was waiting in the car with the baby inside.
"When the suspects came out of the store, they were telling her to drive off and she didn't drive off. The employees from the Walmart were telling her to stay there," said Chief Welch.
The suspect was arrested in another nearby town a short time later. Deputies said they found the 6-month-old safe.
"It's unknown how this person, the suspect, got to the residence in Patton Village along with this infant," said Chief Welch.
An investigation is under way.

A one-of-a-kind documentary that centers on America's highest award for valor in combat is in the final stages inside a Knoxville production house.
"We thought it would be great as our legacy project to create an hour-long documentary on the history of the Medal of Honor itself, how it came into being, (and) why it is the nation's highest honor," said Ed Hooper, who is the lead producer of a documentary titled "Medal of Honor: The History." Mr. Hooper has led a team of five during the last 18 months tracking down rarely seen documents and pictures that explain the colorful past of a medal dating back to the Civil War.
"The fact of the matter is 90 percent of this documentary is things that nobody has ever seen before," said Mr. Hooper from a swivel chair at a digital edit station inside RIVR Media Interactive headquarters in Knoxville. Mr. Hooper recalls one of the surprising personal discoveries during his research was realizing much of the nation's history is not preserved in government warehouses, museums, or universities, but rather in the hands of private families who made it a point to preserve their own past.
The documentary runs close to an hour. The Knoxville Medal of Honor convention commissioned it and is paying for the production and distribution through private sponsorships. That is the same group responsible for helping host the living Medal of Honor recipients set to gather in Knoxville in the fall of 2014.
The documentary premiere will be held in Washington, D.C. on March 24th. The first showing in Knoxville will be March 31st at the Regal Riviera 8 downtown. Tickets are available starting February 15th and you can find more information at www.etvma.org.

There's a further complication caused by Earth's daily spin: the constellations visible from a given location are constantly changing, with new ones rising in the east as others set in the west. That's why we print dates and times on our star charts. Finally, the naked-eye planets don't stay put. This is especially true of Venus, which moves across a large swath of sky each month. We compromise by plotting the position of the planets for midmonth.
The bottom line is that unless you live at exactly 40° north or 35° south, and unless you restrict your stargazing to midmonth at exactly the time for which your hemisphere's chart is plotted, what you see in the sky won't quite match what's on the map. Veteran amateur astronomers know this instinctively and make mental adjustments with little effort. But beginners do not, and trying to learn the constellations with charts that don't match the sky faithfully can be extremely frustrating.
From Ink to Electrons
When we redesigned our Web site in 2002, we looked for ways to use the site to complement what we print in the magazine. For the reasons just outlined, it seemed obvious that we should create an electronic sky chart modeled on the ones in Sky & Telescope but customizable for any location on Earth, on any date, at any time. So that's what we did!
Sky & Telescope's Interactive Sky Chart is a Java applet based on the same data and algorithms we use to plot our monthly evening sky charts. Its principal creators include senior editor Roger W. Sinnott and associate art director Steven Simpson, the brains behind our printed charts, as well as engineers and programmers at the Interactive Factory in Boston.
In case you're unfamiliar with Java applets, these are self-contained applications written in the Java programming language pioneered by Sun Microsystems (S&T: June 2001, page 58). When you use a Java-enabled browser to view a Web page that contains an applet, the applet's code is transferred to your computer and executed by the browser's Java Virtual Machine. Java applets are supposed to work on all computers and operating systems, but because the major players in the computer industry haven't yet agreed on uniform standards for the language, this "platform independence" hasn't been fully realized. To find out whether our sky-chart applet will work on your computer, review our system requirements.
Although we developed our interactive sky chart mainly to provide newcomers to astronomy with S&T-style constellation maps for their particular location and observing time, we soon discovered that the applet has many other uses. Some should appeal to more advanced amateurs and, especially, to teachers and students at all grade levels. By changing the observing location, date, and time in certain ways, you can use the applet to gain a new appreciation of the mechanics of the solar system and the sky's daily, monthly, seasonal, and annual cycles. You can also use it to do a bit of astronomical detective work. Let me walk you through some examples to show what I mean.
Getting Started
On the main sky-chart page you'll find links to launch the "Interactive Sky Chart." You'll also see a link to Sky Chart Help, which you should read if you get stuck or want more detailed instructions.
Click one of the "Interactive Sky Chart" links. This will launch the sky-chart applet (which will take a minute or two to load if you have a slow Internet connection) and open a Choose Location dialog box. Enter "Denver" in the City box, choose "Colorado" from the State/Province list, and select "USA" from the Country list. Then click the Submit button. Next you'll see a Choose Time Zone dialog box; note that Denver is reported to lie almost exactly at 40° north, the latitude of Sky & Telescope's northern evening sky chart. Pick "Mountain Time" from the list, check the Daylight Saving Time (DST) box, and click Submit again. Now you'll see a sky chart for this evening (whatever the date) at 9 p.m. local daylight time in Denver.On the right side of the screen is a circular map of the constellations labeled All-Sky Chart, with a green, four-sided frame near the edge labeled West. The part of the sky inside this frame appears at a larger scale in the rectangular window labeled Selected View in the upper-left corner of your screen. Under that you'll find Location and Date & Time displays.
The All-Sky Chart's center represents the sky directly overhead. Its circular rim represents the horizon; compass directions are labeled around it. A star that's plotted on the map halfway from the edge to the center will be found halfway up the sky — that is, halfway from horizontal to straight up.
The Selected View shows about as much sky as you can take in at once with your unaided eyes; it measures 50° wide by 40° tall. Compass directions are abbreviated along the bottom, and two markers partway up the right edge indicate your viewing altitude, from 0° at the horizon to 90° overhead.
Let's change the date to October 16, 2002, and the time to 8:30 p.m. to match the circumstances of the northern evening sky chart in our October 2002 issue. In the Date & Time display at the lower left of your screen, click once on the name of the month; it will become highlighted. Now click the + or – buttons to change the month to October. Next, highlight the date and use the + or – buttons to change it to 16. Make sure the year reads 2002. Then do the same thing for the time, highlighting first the hours, then the minutes, and using the + or – buttons to set it to 8:30 p.m.
Now compare the All-Sky Chart in your Web browser to the one in the magazine: they match, right down to the position and phase of the Moon for midmonth! (Although the Moon's phase is indicated properly, the orientation of the terminator — the line between the illuminated and shadowed parts of the disk — is not; it is always shown as vertical.) If you wish, you can choose which objects and labels get displayed on the chart by clicking on the Show Advanced Display Options link under the Date & Time area and making your selections.
Now would be a good time to play with the applet to see how it behaves. Click anywhere inside the green box on the All-Sky Chart, then drag the box around the sky and watch what happens in the Selected View. Or do the opposite: click within the Selected View and move the cursor around while you watch what happens on the All-Sky Chart. Be as adventurous as you'd like. If you run into trouble, click the Help button at upper right or close the applet, return to the main sky-chart page, and start over.
Play and Learn
The real fun begins when you change the location, date, and time and watch how the chart responds. Here are some activities to get you started; no doubt you can come up with many more - especially if you're a teacher!
Spin control: It's a mid-October evening in Denver. Highlight the hours value in the time and start clicking the + button repeatedly while watching the All-Sky Chart. You'll see the stars rise in the east and set in the west, swinging around Polaris, the North Star, as they arc across the sky. (If the one-hour increment is too jarring for you, use one-minute increments instead.) If you keep clicking through the daylight hours, you'll see the Sun follow a similar arc, reaching its highest point due south at midday.
Note how the constellations between Polaris and the northern horizon never set — they just circle the pole, always above the horizon, even in daylight. These are the circumpolar constellations for anyone at a latitude of 40°.
Change the date to September 23, 2002, the autumn equinox, and the time to 6 a.m. Click through the hours and note that there are about 12 each of day and night — that's what equinox means! Now change the date to December 21, 2002, the winter solstice, at 6 a.m. Click through the hours again — sure enough, there are fewer hours of daylight and more of nighttime darkness. And did you notice that the Sun doesn't climb as high up at noon in December as it does in September?
It's just a phase: Let's stay in Denver awhile longer. Change the date to October 5th, when the Moon is new, and set the time to 6:30 p.m., right at sunset early in the month. Note the new Moon near the Sun on the western horizon. Now highlight the day of the month and click the + sign repeatedly. As the days progress over the next two weeks and sunset comes a bit earlier each day, note how the Moon waxes from crescent to gibbous to full as it makes its way through successive constellations of the zodiac. On the 20th, when the Moon is full, it's coming up in the east just after sunset. After this date, if you want to watch the Moon wane toward new again, you'll have to change the time to a later hour; try 6:30 a.m., just before dawn. Neat, huh?Changes in latitude: Change the date back to October 16, 2002, and the time to 7:30 p.m. Now click the Change button in the Location display to reopen the Choose Location dialog box. Scroll down to the World by City area. Enter "Sydney" in the City box, select "Australia" from the Country list, and click Submit. At the Choose Time Zone dialog, select "Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney: UT+10 hours," leave the DST box unchecked, and click Submit again. You should see an All-Sky Chart very similar to the Southern Hemisphere's sky map on page 90 of the October 2002 issue. Now advance the time in one-hour steps as you did before. Objects still rise in the east and set in the west, but now they arc highest in the sky in the north rather than the south. Can you find the south celestial pole, the point in the sky around which the constellations rotate? (You won't find a "South Star" there!) Find Orion in the predawn sky and center it in the green box on the All-Sky Chart. Look at the Selected View: compared with the view from the Northern Hemisphere, Orion is upside down!
Click the Change button in the Location display. Scroll down to World by City and specify Quito, Ecuador, on the planet's equator. Choose the time zone "Bogota, Lima, Quito: UT-5 hours" and leave the DST box unchecked. Once again, advance the time in one-hour steps. With the Selected View pointing due east, you'll see constellations rise straight up. Now look due west: the stars dive straight down to the horizon!
Return to the solstice on December 21st, at 6 a.m. As you advance the time hour by hour, you'll see that even on this date there are 12 hours of daylight and 12 of night. On the equator, this is true year-round!Leaving the date in late December, call up the Choose Location box again. This time, scroll down to the Worldwide by Latitude & Longitude area. Enter 90° 00' N latitude and any longitude; then specify any time zone — it doesn't matter which one. Welcome to the North Pole! Do you see Polaris directly overhead, at the center of the All-Sky Chart? (Pay no attention to the houses and trees around the horizon in the Selected View — they're illusions brought on by the cold.) Watch the horizon in any direction in the Selected View as you advance the clock hour by hour: the constellations move parallel to the ground, like horses on a merry-go-round, and the Sun never rises. Now switch to 90° south, leaving everything else the same. Welcome to the South Pole, now enjoying 24 hours of sunshine!
Unidentified flying objects: On July 4, 2002, millions of Americans gathered in parks and along riverfronts to enjoy traditional Independence Day fireworks. As the twilight sky darkened, a brilliant beacon gleamed in the west. Was it a UFO? I'm sure many nonastronomers thought so. But a quick check of our interactive sky chart for 9 p.m. on July 4th from any U.S. city shows that the beacon was none other than the planet Venus, still in the midst of a truly dazzling performance in the evening sky.
What Next?
As already noted, our sky-chart applet doesn't show the Moon's true orientation, though it does correctly represent the lunar phase. The chart also shows the five naked-eye planets with symbols that are all the same size, belying the huge range of brightness among them. We accepted these compromises to keep the applet from getting too big and taking too long to download. When high-speed Internet connections become more common, we'll address these limitations in a future release of the applet.
If you click the Create PDF button under the All-Sky Chart or the Selected View, you'll get a black-on-white version you can print without emptying your printer's ink cartridges.
If you want more power in a sky-charting program — fainter stars and planets, more deep-sky objects, the ability to zoom in and out — you should consider buying one of the full-featured planetarium programs advertised regularly in Sky & Telescope. We didn't design our sky-chart applet to compete with these programs, merely to bring the magazine's monthly evening sky charts to life.
So what are you waiting for? Download our sky-chart applet, pick a location anywhere on the planet, and explore the night sky. Remember: on the Web it's never cloudy!

The Bikecast Episode #55: Chit-chatting About the Patriarchy
Th Bikecast is back, albeit without the bike this time. I'll transition to another name when I think of a good one.
In this reboot premier episode, I'm thinking through the history and nature of patriarchy and how its position as the fundamental organizing principle of the various and myriad institutional hurdles to human happiness and flourishing. Good stuff!
PS. I have no idea why the embed is doing that. The Internet Archive has changed up some stuff since last year.

AT last - the waiting is over. The medical scanner that you helped buy has been installed at Malvern Community Hospital.
Malvern Gazette readers supporting the newspaper's Ease the Pain Campaign raised £60,000 to buy the image intensifier scanner for the Worcester Road hospital.
And it is hoped the first patients will be arriving at pain relief clinics where the scanner will be used within the next few days.
The campaign was launched in April last year after the Friends of Malvern Community Hospital announced their intention of buying the scanner.
And this week, Friends secretary Maureen Williams said she and her colleagues were absolutely delighted it is now ready to use.
She said: "We couldn't have done this without the people of Malvern and the Malvern Gazette. We're absolutely delighted that the scanner is now in place and is ready to be used.
"Dr Mahesh Chaudhari, the consultant who will be running the clinics, is on holiday this week, but I know he's also delighted that we've got it at last."
Debbie Keelor of Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust, which runs the community hospital, said: "Having the image intensifier is a positive step to support the patients of Malvern.
"The Friends and the people of Malvern have worked tirelessly in raising the money for the image intensifier. It has brought the community of Malvern together and our thanks must go to them."
Julian Berlet, divisional medical director at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "We are absolutely delighted that patients in Malvern and the surrounding area will start benefitting from the new image intensifier this month.
"The scanner uses x-rays and produces a live image feed, allowing pain relieving injections to be administered safely and more effectively.
"I would once again like to thank the Friends and the readers of the Malvern Gazette who have worked tirelessly to raise money for this essential piece of equipment."

A MAN who was out in Nelson with a cut throat razor two months after he was freed from jail, walked free from court.
Ex-hard drugs addict Samuel Caddis, 33, was on licence from an eight year prison term at the time.
It had been imposed on March 29, 2010, after he had injured a 74-year-old man when he tried to rob him.
Burnley Crown Court heard Caddis had been released automatically by the Home Office last December 13, after serving half the eight years. He had then been recalled by the Home Office and served 28 days for breach of licence after the razor offence — prompting a judge to say he couldn't do anything about the fact the defendant had struck on licence and the Government had effectively taken over part of the sentencing.
The hearing was told roofer Caddis, who has 40 offences on his record, going back 20 years, was re-released after recall on March 19.
He had been arrested on Leeds Road on February 14, after he was talking to police and threw the razor and a cannabis pipe under the officer's van.
He claimed he had been given the razor to cut felt in his job.
The defendant, of Charles Street, Nelson, admitted having an article with a blade or point and was given a 12 month community order with an alcohol programme.

Following the instructions that came with the parts, I removed the top off of the dryer, which was very easy, two more 5/16" screws and I had the drum out. I confess, this was my second time at this repair. 1st time I neglected to replace the rear drum seal which I strongly recommend you do while you have it open. I only replaced the 2 wheels last time and it failed very soon afterwards.Lesson Learned: Always replace the rear drum seal when you replace the support wheels!!!
First, I unplugged it and pulled it away from the wall. Then I pryed the front of the top up. It is scary to apply that much force, but the clips did not break. It opens like a car hood. Then I removed the two sheet metal screws that hold the front to the sides. Don't forget to unplug and unclip the door switch wires. Then I lifted the front off the bottom clips. Be sure to hold the drum up when you do this. Three hands will make it easier. Then remove the drum and belt. The belt tensioner will fall off, but that is ok. I thought the problem would turn out to be the motor, but instead it was the front seal for the drum. It is felt and had broken. It folded under itself and was jamming the drum to the point that the motor couldn't turn it. I replaced the felt seal, which attaches to the front cover with three clips and also replaced the plastic guides, which clip to the drum. Both were easy to do. I had replaced the rear drum seal a few years ago and so it was ok, otherwise I would recommend doing that too.While I had it apart, I opened up the back and cleaned out all the lint in the fan housing. I had replaced the heater element, thermal switch and fuse a few years ago, so they were fine.I also replaced the mosture sensor, just because it only cost $11. I bought a new lint filter, because it had holes in it after 20 years. I replaced the belt, because it was only $10. I replaced the lint filter cover and front door handle, because they had yellowed. I will warn you about the front door handle. It was a bear. I finally had to take the door apart to get the little plastic clip to seat correctly. Then I put it all back together, which again is easier with 3 hands. Holding up the drum and putting the front cover on the lower clips can be a bit tricky alone. Also, be sure to rotate the drum to make sure the rear seal is not folded under and the front seal is seated correclty. I fired it up and it ran great, except for the constant whistling. I had wondered what the little clear plastic box in the back did. Turns out it is the lint filter is full whistle warning thing. I took the back off again and found a wire was resting on the flapper door of the box and holding it in the wrong postion. By the way, it is a really irritating sound after the first few minutes. I moved the wire and it works great. I worked slowly and it went well and was not hard.
Unplugging the dryer and opening the front was just 2 screws and 2 bolts. I found the rear drums felt gasket was torn and folder over. This was pulling the drive motor down until it kicked out. So I removed the drum from the dryers housing and placed it on the floor. With a pliers gripped the felt and pulled it from the drum. With sand paper I cleaned the remains and then used clothe pins to hold the new gasket in place so I could glue it back onto the drum. After 5 minutes I removed the pins and remounted the drum. Using a butter knife to guild the felt from folding over, I turned the drum by hand once to ensure proper movement. The entire repair was done in 27 minutes alone.
Troubleshoot wiring to make sure it was'nt fuse or limit switchs. Had voltage to motor but nothing happened. Had to be the motor. Ordered motor and a couple of other parts that needed to be replaced. Motor replacement was real easy, hardest part for me was getting blower off motor shaft. Was a good time to clean out dryer and vent.Found a few dollars in lost change also, my tip. Used your regular shipping and from order to repair was only three days. I would definitly order from you again. Thanks.
I followed disassembly directions found on youtube and replaced th two-piece ring bearing that was identified by a parts diagra fron PartSelect. The repair was easy. Fix time was about thirty mionutes.
nobody has said it yet so... to take a dryer apart, take the back off, pull the lint trap, remove two screws on back of the top piece. the whole top shifts forward and disengages two clips on front corners, it then tilts up and back. the front comes off next, this frees up the tub. all parts ordered replaced worn parts, though there was no smoking gun as to the source of the sound. once it was apart, it was a cakewalk. had it up and running in 45 minutes. can't see how it took others two hours.

i understand how the whole swell direction by degree works i just don't have a chart or reference to fully understand what direction a particular swell is coming from. can someone help me with where to find this info?
Some great info on magic seaweed on swell dynamics: http://magicseaweed.com/content/surf-forecasting.php
Check out the article on swell propigation, I think it deals with your questions.
As far as finding out the direction a swell is coming from just look at the "swell plots" under the "time plots" tab. Swellinfo does not give degrees for the swells but uses direction instead(N,S,E,W,etc.), but they are referring to the same thing.
Surfline also has some good detail about swell direction. If you go to the forecast dashboard and click on offshore swells you get the direction in degrees for all swells in the water along with the range of degrees the swell will come in from( the +/- measurement).
Its important to note that swells acually come in from a range or directions. The degree measurement we see on the forecast page is simply the mean swell angle. Swells coming from a close by storm (wind swell) will have a high range of degrees, swells generated from far away will typically have less variation in their direction. It appears that this number is roughly correlated with period. This is an important reason why short period swells are disorganized and inconsistant. Ex: your surfing an east facing break on a short period SSW swell(like the ones we have been seeing around here lately). The direction may be at about +/- 25 degees, so the set waves we see breaking on the beach can actually the ones that are coming from S or even SSE.
hope that helps.
thanks for the help guys. the info on seaweed is great. i don't know why i've never noticed it before as i check theat site faily often. so what are your thoughts on this upcoming swell? i can't remember a forecasted swell wtih this much organization in some time.
and btw.. why no nor'easters anymore. i recall as a kid having them all the time. i can't even remember the last one!
If youre lucky, you may have a directional wave gauge in your area that can help you differentiate all the different seas or swells that are in the water in real time (periods and relative spread) . Were very fortunate enough to have one just 1,000 feet south of Bogue Inlet Pier here in Emerald Isle, NC. The link for this is http://nccoos.org/platforms/piers/bo...t-fishing-pier. The cheat sheet located at the upper right will help decipher all the squiggly lines. We check this site religiously several times a day and use the information in our morning surf reports. Hope there is one (wave gauge) further south closer to you. Cheers. EI Surf Shop
that is totally what i was looking for. man i love a good cheat sheet! thanks for sharing the info.

Contradictory Semantics
The place to discuss learning languages

Contradictory Semantics
Sometimes a word can have two contradictory meanings. For instance, the word "sanction" can mean "to allow or permit" or "to prohibit or penalize". Every day in the news we hear of some country or entity being the object of sanctions. If I were to say that I sanction some sort of behavior it would most likely mean that I allow the form of behavior indictated. Another example that comes to mind is the word "host". In Early Modern English this word meant "army", as in "the heavenly host", but now it means one who receives a guest. From the earlier meaning we get the word "hostile". Can you think of other words that have two opposite meanings in one word?

Re: Contradictory Semantics
"Prove" has reversed meaning over time, as can be seen in the expression "the exception that proves the rule."
Re: Contradictory Semantics
I thought there were two meanings of "host" that each derived from different words. I also can't remember for the life of me what "exception that proves the rule" really means. Oh well, it's been a long day, whatever.
Re: Contradictory Semantics
Tikolm wrote:I thought there were two meanings of "host" that each derived from different words.
host "army" and host "one who entertains guests" are related. guest is also related.
Re: Contradictory Semantics
Rent, lease, sublet, etc. are confusing in that the subject can be at either end of the transaction. They can be clarified with a prepositional phrase (e.g. "He's renting the house to a lawyer and her husband") or a particle ("He's renting it out"), but just a bare sentence like "He's renting it" is ambiguous.

Top 5 Concurrent Collections from JDK 5 and 6 Java Programmer Should Know
Several new Collection classes are added in Java 5 and Java 6 specially concurrent alternatives of standard synchronized ArrayList, Hashtable and synchronized HashMap collection classes. Many Java programmer still not familiar with these new collection classes from java.util.concurrent package and misses a whole new set of functionality which can be utilized to build more scalable and high performance Java application. In this Java tutorial we will some of useful collection classes e.g. ConcurrentHashMap, BlockingQueue which provides some of the very useful functionalities to build concurrent Java application. By the way this is not a comprehensive article explaining each feature of all these concurrent collections, Instead I will just try to list out why they are there, which Collection class they replace or provides alternative for. Idea is to keep it short and simple while highlighting key points of those useful java.util.concurrent collections.
1. ConcurrentHashMap
ConcurrentHashMap is undoubtedly most popular collection class introduced in Java 5 and most of us are already using it. ConcurrentHashMap provides a concurrent alternative of Hashtable or Synchronized Map classes with aim to support higher level of concurrency by implementing fined grained locking. Multiple reader can access the Map concurrently while a portion of Map gets locked for write operation depends upon concurrency level of Map. ConcurrentHashMap provides better scalability than there synchronized counter part. Iterator of ConcurrentHashMap are fail-safe iterators which doesn't throw ConcurrencModificationException thus eliminates another requirement of locking during iteration which result in further scalability and performance.
2. CopyOnWriteArrayList and CopyOnWriteArraySet
CopyOnWriteArrayList is a concurrent alternative of synchronized List. CopyOnWriteArrayList provides better concurrency than synchronized List by allowing multiple concurrent reader and replacing the whole list on write operation. Yes, write operation is costly on CopyOnWriteArrayList but it performs better when there are multiple reader and requirement of iteration is more than writing. Since CopyOnWriteArrayList Iterator also don't throw ConcurrencModificationException it eliminates need to lock the collection during iteration. Remember both ConcurrentHashMap and CopyOnWriteArrayList doesn't provides same level of locking as Synchronized Collection and achieves thread-safety by there locking and mutability strategy. So they perform better if requirements suits there nature. Similarly, CopyOnWriteArraySet is a concurrent replacement to Synchronized Set. See What is CopyOnWriteArrayList in Java for more details
3. BlockingQueue
BlockingQueue is also one of better known collection class in Java 5. BlockingQueue makes it easy to implement producer-consumer design pattern by providing inbuilt blocking support for put() and take() method. put() method will block if Queue is full while take() method will block if Queue is empty. Java 5 API provides two concrete implementation of BlockingQueue in form of ArrayBlockingQueue and LinkedBlockingQueue, both of them implement FIFO ordering of element. ArrayBlockingQueue is backed by Array and its bounded in nature while LinkedBlockingQueue is optionally bounded. Consider using BlockingQueue to solve producer Consumer problem in Java instead of writing your won wait-notify code. Java 5 also provides PriorityBlockingQueue, another implementation of BlockingQueue which is ordered on priority and useful if you want to process elements on order other than FIFO.
4. Deque and BlockingDeque
Deque interface is added in Java 6 and it extends Queue interface to support insertion and removal from both end of Queue referred as head and tail. Java6 also provides concurrent implementation of Deque like ArrayDeque and LinkedBlockingDeque. Deque Can be used efficiently to increase parallelism in program by allowing set of worker thread to help each other by taking some of work load from other thread by utilizing Deque double end consumption property. So if all Thread has there own set of task Queue and they are consuming from head; helper thread can also share some work load via consumption from tail.
5. ConcurrentSkipListMap and ConcurrentSkipListSet
Just like ConcurrentHashMap provides a concurrent alternative of synchronized HashMap. ConcurrentSkipListMap and ConcurrentSkipListSet provide concurrent alternative for synchronized version of SortedMap and SortedSet. For example instead of using TreeMap or TreeSet wrapped inside synchronized Collection, You can consider using ConcurrentSkipListMap or ConcurrentSkipListSet from java.util.concurrent package. They also implement NavigableMap and NavigableSet to add additional navigation method we have seen in our post How to use NavigableMap in Java.
That's all on this list of concurrent Collection classes from Java 5 and 6. They are added on java.util.concurrent package as concurrent alternative of there synchronized counterpart. It's good idea to learn these Collection classes along with other popular classes from Java Collection Framework.

Nice Stuff ..could you provide some programs using the above concurrent collection classes like producer & consumer by using BlockingQue.

ConcurrentHashMaps also consume a lot of memory compared to a regular HashMap (1,7kb for an empty CCH as described here: http://www.javatuning.com/concurrenthashmap-fat-memory-footprint/).

Are concurrent collections are same as thread safe collection in Java? What is different between older thread safe collection e.g. Vector and Hashtable and new thread-safe collection classes like CopyOnWriteArrayList and ConcurrentHashMap?

ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Redskins have signed third-round pick Jordan Reed, putting all of their draft selections under contract for the 2013 season.
The Redskins announced the deal Friday for the tight end from Florida. Reed led the Gators in receiving last year with 45 catches for 559 yards.
The Redskins have now signed all six of their draft picks, led by second-round choice David Amerson of North Carolina State.
Washington didn't have a first-round pick this year, having traded it to the St. Louis Rams a year ago in order to move into position to select Robert Griffin III.

You know, I feel pretty silly. I've spent most of the past four years pointing out that whatever you feel about Mike Pelfrey- that he's an ace-to-be, that he's terrible, that he is woefully inconsistent- is really just projecting the rising and falling of Met defense and luck upon a pitcher who puts a lot of balls in play.
So here I am, on a day when Pelfrey's mediocre outing against Washington last night is just another example of mediocre Mike Pelfrey acting mediocre, to make the case that there might be something happening here to change the upside of Mike Pelfrey at long last. I swear, I'm not just trying to be contrary.
But consider the facts. Pelfrey has been Pelfrey throughout his career. His walk rate, season after season, hovers around 3 per 9. His strikeout rate stays at the very pedestrian 5 per 9. That's been the case in his good years, that's been the case in his bad years.
His career high in strikeouts? 8. He did that back on June 1, 2010, and it took him eight full innings to do so.
Well, he's now reached that mark twice, thanks to last night's performance over 5 2/3 innings. He walked just one. Add that to his final spring start, when he struck out five over four innings without walking a batter, and he's now put up a strikeout rate of 12.1 per nine innings over his last two starts, against a walk rate of 0.9 per nine.
That's a very different Pelf.
It's also a ludicrously small sample from which to make any definitive conclusions. Interestingly, that June 1, 2010 start was part of a four-start streak from May 22-June 8 when Pelfrey struck out 24 in 30 innings, walked just nine, and pitched to a 0.90 ERA. His strong start had been aided by good defense and/or luck on balls in play, but these four starts were all Pelf. He then followed with eight horrific starts, striking out just 14 over 38 2/3 innings.
In other words, he's seemed statistically on the brink of figuring some things out once before, only to falter.
But in a year that has started so auspiciously, if Mike Pelfrey can break through the glass ceiling of his strikeout rate, it is something that would augur far better for the future than David Wright's hot start. In any scenario that had the Mets doing well, David Wright was healthy and hitting like himself. To truly exceed their likely ceiling of around 80 wins, the Mets will need some unexpected breakout performances. If that can come from Mike Pelfrey, so much the better.
Worth watching.

On Jan. 4, nine members of the Northwestern FFA chapter participated in a Christmas tree pick-up for the community.
Members Ashley Cromer, Tessa Topp, Damon Johnson, Kandis Starkey, Tara Benton, Becca Harbaugh, Zach Berry, Sara McWilliams and Sarhra Flinn helped with this project, with a couple members even volunteering their personal vehicles. Northwestern alumni member Chris Thomas also participated.
Members went to Lea Crest Estates, West Ridge and High Point, as well as the villages of New Pittsburg, Lattasburg, Pleasant Home, Congress and West Salem to pick up the trees.
The chapter then gave them to West Salem Beagle Club for "recycling." The trees will be used for wildlife protection.
This was the 25th year for this annual chapter community service project.

Pro Bowl? You've Got To Be Kidding Me!
Link: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/72242-pro-bowl-youve-got-to-be-kidding-me
I understand that voting for the NFL Pro Bowl starts early every
year. But as usual, it irritates me this year too. I don't have as much
problem with the Pro Bowl itself as many do, but it isn't even the
halfway point of the regular season yet!
Every year there are a number of players that are "snubbed" by the
Pro Bowl voting, and I'm sure this year it will be no different.
There may be some hope this season however because of the fact that
there is no single dominant team taking over media attention at this
point in the season. Let's hope so.
There is also a relatively loud clamour to not even play this game
every year. There are a number different reasons cited for this, from
the game itself being boring to watch to claims that most players don't
WANT to play in it.
Following Super Bowl XXXIX, former star Cowboys' quarterback Troy Aikman voiced his opinion on the matter:
"I know Paul Tagliabue isn't going to want to hear this: Nobody wants to play in a Pro Bowl," Aikman said.
"Everybody wants to be voted in. Everybody wants to be in Hawaii.
But nobody wants to play. The roster is filled with alternate players.
The guys who are voted in aren't even on the field."
To be fair, only 14 players withdrew from the Pro Bowl that year,
and some of the league's biggest star quarterbacks did in fact play.

A few quick thoughts on Redskin's Loss to Rams
The punting situation is a problem, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the coverage has been terrible as well, seems to be no discipline in keeping their lanes on both punts and kickoffs, too many missed tackles.
And I was also disappointed in the pass rush, the Skins should have been able to get to Bulger more than they did, still got some pressure, but not enough hits on him.
And I agree with the idea that the coaches need to really start pushing the rookie WRs, the idea that a defense can take away ONE GUY FROM THE OFFENSE(Moss) and there is nobody else to go to in order to make plays down the field is a bad one. Zorn and Stan HIxon (WRs coach) need to push these and get 'me moving forward NOW.
JC is this team's long term answer at QB, and Portis is a beast, with those 2 spots playing as well as they are, the team around them needs to raise their level of play.
One bad loss, but it will hopefully prove to be a very healthy one in terms of lessons to be learned.

NFL Rankings following Week Five
This is a difficult week in which to rank NFL teams, there are a number of teams in the middle that could easily be at the top of the "middle" or at the bottom of "middle". I go with the Redskins based on the difficult schedule they have had to play through, they have had the most difficult schedule in the NFL for the first five weeks, getting through it at 4-1 is an incredible feat.
For details on why I think the Skins are belong here, you go here.
- Washington Redskins Sorry folks, but the Skins are for real.
- New York Giants Very impressive win, but they won a single game yet as impressive as what the Skins have done.
- Tennessee Titans Collins has only been sacked once this season. The defense is absolutely scary, they could well be the best team in football if they just had the chance to prove it against a quality opponent.
- Dallas Cowboys Are the Cowboys in trouble? I dunno, but something just doesn't seem right with this team.
- Buffalo Bills Without Edwards this team isn't very good. That means depth is an issue, which means they aren't THAT good.
- Carolina Panthers Still haven't proven anything, but they are getting things done.
- Pittsburgh Steelers Ben is in serious need of this bye, Steelers need him to get healthy, and to fix that terrible O-Line.
- Chicago Bears Found more offense, very nice. Orton almost looks like an NFL quarterback.
- Indianapolis Colts They still don't have a defense, but they do still have Peyton, miracles never cease.
- Denver Broncos Finally a win where score wasn't 90 to 87, they do have a defense after all, then again, it was the Bucs.
- Philadelphia Eagles When Westbrook isn't right, this team doesn't stand a chance. Broken ribs now, it could get ugly real quick for the Eagles.
- New Orleans Saints Defense and toughness are two things this team doesn't have.
- San Diego Chargers Took way too much effort to beat Oakland.
- Arizona Cardinals Last week I asked: are they ANY good or not? Answer: not on defense.
- New England Patriots Cassel finally got the message that Randy Moss wasn't the one that got hurt.
- Atlanta Falcons Man, "the formula" is working pretty damn good isn't it?
- Green Bay Packers Ok, this is on the way to looking really bad now, the defense is falling apart and Rodgers is banged up, not good.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers Losing a defensive show down to the Broncos isn't a very good sign for this offense.
- Baltimore Ravens Man, this defense can be scary at times, but they don't handle a good smack in the mouth too well do they?
- Jacksonville Jaguars Well, what can one say, they are struggling and Gregg Williams defense isn't looking so great just now. Skins fans, can you take him back now?
- Miami Dolphins Very impressive win over the Chargers, not sure how far this game plan can take them, but their gonna nurse if for everything it's worth.
- Minnesota Vikings Vikings fans are rollin' on the Gus Bus!
- New York Jets A bye was probably a good thing for the Jets, a little time for Favre to get himself ready for a long stretch of football.
- San Francisco 49ers O'Sullivan let me down, but I knew he would.
- Seattle Seahawks Ok, I now I know they can't fix this anytime soon, that was nasty!
- Cincinnati Bengals Nice fight against the Giants and now the Cowboys. Maybe their a little closer than their record indicates.
- Kansas City Chiefs Last week was a mirage!
- Cleveland Browns What's there to say, It's time for the Mighty Quinn!
- Oakland Raiders What now? There must be something to laugh about, right?
- Houston Texans Poor Sage, he almost had it!
- Detroit Lions Ummmm… Sorry, they're just bad, even after the bye week.
- St Louis Rams They've got a new coach and they get to go to Washington this week, boy their luck is getting better by the day!

Redskins-Cowboys: Keys to Victory
Link: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/62322-redskins-cowboys-keys-to-victory
The Washington Redskins visit the Dallas Cowboys in Week Four of the
2008 regular season. As the marquee match-up for this Sunday, I have
taken an extended look at this game.
For my detailed breakdown of this game see HERE, HERE AND HERE.
And now we'll note the keys to victory for each team as I see it.
The winning formula for the 'Skins on offense:
Score TOUCHDOWNS, early.
The Cowboys will likely be capable of running the ball nearly at will if given the opportunity. The Skins will need to put points on the board to prevent Cowboys' offensive coordinator Jason Garrett from feeling comfortable enough to to lean on their running game as they did against the Packers last week. The Skins can force him to put the onus on quarterback Tony Romo to make plays, perhaps enough pressure to force Romo into mistakes, which he has shown he can be counted on for maybe two per game. And if that happens, the Skins have to take advantage of those mistakes and score touchdowns, not field goals.
The winning formula for the 'Skins on defense:
See above first. A good defense often starts with the offense and it will be that way for the Redskins this week. Washington Redskins' defensive coordinator Greg Blache has done a fine job thus far game planning against three very good offenses. While the Redskins defense has allowed high yardage totals, and two 100 yard rushers, his defense has held three of the highest scoring teams to only 17 points or less (the Saints had a punt return for a touchdown to give them 24 points in Week Two). That said, this is the most potent offense Blache and the Redskins' defense have seen yet. Their focus has to be preventing the big play. But they also can't allow the Cowboys to hold a large advantage in time of possession. Last season, then defensive coordinator Gregg Williams tried to use a "bend, don't break" mentality against the New England Patriots. It didn't go very well. Williams couldn't get his players out of the mentality once the Patriots showed they could handle it, and it went down hill fast. Blache can't let that happen against the Cowboys. The will need to make plays behind the line of scrimmage early with penetration and early hits on the beast, running back Marion Barber and the speedy rookie Felix Jones.
The winning formula for the 'Boys on offense:
Pound the Skins into submission first, second, and third, and then show your explosiveness. Sounds easy enough. But the Redskins have played well against the Cowboys' running game in the last six meetings overall. Their last meeting, at the end of last season, the Redskins' defense held to Cowboys' to ONE yard rushing. ONE. The Cowboys entered that game having already clinched home field advantage through out the playoffs, and didn't bring any intensity with them from Dallas. Wide out Terrell Owens was the offensive starter who didn't play in that game, with Romo and the other starters playing into the third quarter before Wade Phillips gave up trying to save some momentum and sat the "important" guys. The Cowboys' offensive line is big, very big, and they should be able to wear down the Skins' defensive front, but they will need to prevent penetration into the backfield so Barber and Jones can get a head of steam before being hit. If they can do that, they likely won't be stopped.
The winning formula for 'Boys on defense:
The Cowboys' defense has shown itself to be very inconsistent. Giving up a lot of points to the Eagles, but nearly shutting the Packers out of the end-zone completely. They will need to stand up and show us who they really are. Stuffing the running game, and not letting Cowboys' Killer Santana Moss get loose for ALL FOUR QUARTERS could make for an easy win. But they will need to be very careful in putting too much attention on Moss. Redskins' head coach and primary play caller Jim Zorn has displayed dramatic improvement in his game management and shown a knack for keeping defenses off guard with his play calling. The Redskins also have many weapons other than Moss and the Cowboys defense will need to stay focused the entire game to prevent the Skins from finding a rhythm and keeping it.
If the Cowboys can keep the Skins out of the end-zone, they'll be able to pound on the Skins' defensive front, and cruise to a win much like they did against the Packers last week, thereby limiting the opportunities for Romo to make costly mistakes. The Redskins are currently leading the league in turnover ratio with a PLUS FIVE in that category. Zorn will run the ball when it seems he should throw it, and throw it when it seems he should run it, and has done both with relative success.
It should be fun to watch the game being played on the sideline just as much as on the field.

Paige and Stephanie got together for some 'girl-time' and Stephanie told Paige about cheating on her boyfriend, which immediately signaled a cheating-meeting. They then proceeded to discuss their feelings about the issue and try to rationalize the initial cheating. Then Paige related to Stephanie's story by telling her about the time she cheated on her boyfriend with one of her previous male acquaintances.

2013 Graduate Research Fellowships Reflect a Diversity of Fields, Institutions and Students
Women receive 55 percent of awards this year, their highest ever; 28 fellowships went to veterans
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced this year's recipients of Graduate Research Fellowships (GRF). The 2013 NSF Graduate Research Fellows represent a diverse group of scientific disciplines, and come from all states and the District of Columbia, as well as U.S. commonwealths and territories. They are also a diverse group of individuals: Among the 2,000 awardees, 1,102 are women, 390 are from underrepresented minority groups, 51 are persons with disabilities, and 28 are veterans.
Since 1952, NSF has provided fellowships to individuals selected early in their careers based on their demonstrated potential for significant achievements in science and engineering. The ranks of NSF Fellows include individuals who have made transformative breakthroughs in science and engineering research, become leaders in their chosen careers, and been honored as Nobel laureates--from Sergey Brin to Steven Chu to Ben Bernanke. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is part of NSF's overall strategy to develop a globally engaged workforce necessary to ensure the nation's leadership in advancing science and engineering research and innovation.
With its emphasis on support of individuals, the GRFP provides a mechanism for increasing the participation of women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and veterans in science and engineering. This is the first year that the program has targeted increased participation of veterans.
The GRFP provides three years of financial support within a five-year fellowship period ($30,000 annual stipend and $12,000 cost-of-education allowance to the graduate institution) for graduate study in a field within NSF's mission that leads to a research-based master's or doctoral degree. Fellows may also be eligible for access to cyberinfrastructure resources through the NSF-supported Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) and for Facilitation Awards for Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities (FASED). In addition, Fellows have the opportunity for international research collaborations through the Graduate Research Opportunities Worldwide (GROW) initiative.
The 2013 class of Graduate Fellows come from 434 baccalaureate institutions, 50 more than in 2010, when GRFP began awarding 2,000 fellowships each year. Forty percent of the new Graduate Fellows indicated interdisciplinary fields of study. The most popular primary fields of study are life sciences and engineering, reflecting 29 percent and 25 percent of fellowships, respectively.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents, and are selected through the NSF merit review process.
A complete list of those offered this fellowship for 2013 is available online.
General information about the program is available at the GRFP website.

Adobe Creative Suite applications are expected to work great on Mac OS X 10.8, a.k.a Mountain Lion. The Adobe website reports:
Adobe and Apple have worked closely together to test Adobe® Creative Suite® 5, 5.5 and CS6 editions and individual products for reliability, performance and user experience when installed on Intel® based systems running Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8). Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop® (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues.
As with any new release of an operating system, there may be unexpected issues that arise that were not discovered during testing.
See complete details on the Creative Suite FAQ page.
In Mountain Lion, Apple has included a feature called Gatekeeper, that makes it safer to download and install application from the internet. Adobe has added the Gatekeeper signing requirements to the currently shipping applications.
- If you download older applications that shipped before the Gatekeeper was introduced, you'll get a security warning, but that's it. You'll be able to install after that. See Error "Has not been signed by a recognized distributor for more details.
- If you want to verify that the digital signature on older (CS5.5 for example), see Verify Digital Signatures on pre-Gatekeeper software.

Getting ready for bed and SO thankful that at 9 months into this journey we'll be celebrating mom's 74th b-day tomorrow and she is feeling fine.
I am thankful for our moderators and contributors to this board who I get so much from every day even if I don't post.
Lastly, so many times I log on and will see that there may only be 2 or 3 registered users logged on, but at the same time there are 20 guests viewing. Seeing these numbers also gives me a feeling that although this cancer is rare, there is a strong group of people on this board who are affected as well.
My heartfelt thanks are with those I've come to "know" through the boards , but also with those who log in and have a stake in cc as well. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your loved ones too.
Lots of love and hopes for happiness,

I certainly could have
used such information back in 1996, when I
had to sell my house, move in with a
friend, and face up to my miserable
debt-ridden life.
The worst part was that it
was entirely my own fault. I had gone from
having sold a successful 8 year old
business for a good price, to virtual
bankruptcy in the space of just two years
- all as a result of ill-conceived
business ideas and false optimism.
I remember all too well
the despair I experienced as I
contemplated filing for bankruptcy. But
when I looked into the process I was
filled with fear and loathing - because I
could see that in order to gain relief
from my creditors I'd have to literally
hand over my whole life to the courts. And
I can tell you, that scared the living
daylights out of me!
It was then that I made a
decision and had an inspirational
idea. In the fog of self-pity and
sleepless nights, something stirred within
me and prevented me from following the
well-worn path to debtor's servitude. Call
it divine intervention if you will, or
call it the reassertion of my dormant
survival instinct.
What came to my mind that
day was to set me on a path of
unlimited possibilities and freedom - a
path I never knew existed. And I have to
say, it was because of one book I read. I
literally maxed out my already overloaded
credit card buying that book - which set
me back $100. But it was the best
investment I ever made. Why? Because
within its pages I found a blueprint for
my own future - a way out of my financial
quagmire, and a way forward to the sort of
life I really wanted to live. It was the
turning point.
Within two years I had
paid off all my debts, started a new
business, and resurrected myself from a
life of hopelessness and despair to one of
optimism and unlimited possibilities.
Since then I have had a ball,
and have created an international
lifestyle for myself which I can only
describe as the ultimate in independence
and freedom.
I work exclusively from my
laptop computer, from anywhere in the
world where there's an internet
connection. I call all the shots and am
beholden to no one. I have literally
cracked the money code when it comes to
being able to generate cash at will. And
I've discovered the secret. No, not "The
Secret" you probably have already
heard about - but the secret to creating
money out of "thin air" - and just as
importantly, the secret as to how to
protect and grow what I have earned.
And the question I get
asked most often, by those who know me, is
simply this: "How can I do what you
are doing - working and living as
and where I want?".
I realised I already had a
wealth of practical experience
and access to effective and
profitable financial freedom ideas and
systems - proven strategies that have
resulted in the lifestyle I now enjoy. I
know these ideas and strategies
work. And what's more, I know they
work for anyone who uses them.
But let me get one thing
straight. I'm no guru. I can't boast of
making millions of dollars a year. I'm not
famous or well known. I'm just a private
guy who has quietly been working on my own
personal and financial freedom, with no
particular fanfare. But I know what works
and what doesn't.
Sometimes I have to pinch
myself to remind me of the reality of my
own good fortune. But it didn't arrive by
luck. It's the result of knowledge
and information, followed by
determination, persistence and effort. But
it surely brings a smile to my face when I
open my email in the morning to see I've
earned another $100, $200 or even $500
since I went to bed - not just one
day, but virtually every day! And no,
that's not BS - but "fair dinkum" as the
Aussies would say.
But more importantly, I've
learned how to turn that money into
something much more - a complete
internationalist freedom lifestyle which I
want to disclose to you. This involves
various strategies for securing your
money, protecting your assets, accessing
unusual and profitable investments, and
generally learning how to live a more
private and unfettered life. This is the
life I've been living now since 2000 - and
I have all the information you will ever
need to make this lifestyle your own.
Anyway, enough rant. To
cut a long story short - a story many
years in the making - I want to offer you
my distilled knowledge, my personal and
financial success strategies, my
moneymaking ideas and tools
and my offbeat perspective.
I've written a 45 page
e-book entitled "The Freedom Blueprint"
- which is exactly what you'd expect it to
be, a detailed guide and plan of action
which will give you the information and
resources you need to create your own
world of freedom and wealth. But it's more
than that, it's also a mindset revolution
so you can break out from where you are
now, to where you want to be - and
it's presented in 5 Steps.
How much am I charging for
Freedom Blueprint? Nothing - it's
In fact I would say the information I'm
providing is just as potentially
life-changing as the book I referred to
above - the one that changed my own life
back in 1996 (but no longer in print). I
paid $100
for it, which was a lot of money at the
So there you have it. The opportunity to
create your own personal and financial
freedom by learning from my own personal
experience and using the proven ideas,
resources and strategies that I use every
day. But like all things in life, you have
to act
to make things happen. The vital
ingredient - as always - is you.
It may shock and surprise
you. It may delight you. It should
certainly motivate you. And I
promise it will open your eyes to a
vast world of new ideas, new thinking and
new opportunities, and set you upon a path
to greater personal and financial freedom
- the sort of life you deserve.
Yours in freedom
