Revealing Statement from FLDS Leader
Starting today, several members of the FLDS will appear before a Texas Grand Jury to determine the validity of claims regarding child abuse and underage marriage. Discord prevails as attorneys and clients accuse each other and the judge of conflicting interests and prejudice. Sixteen-year old Teresa Jeffs wants to fire her attorney, who has petitioned the court to prevent her from seeing her father, Warren Jeffs (now serving time in the Utah State prison) and FLDS spokesman Willie Jessop, fearing that the FLDS men have put undue pressure on the girl. Other women want to tell their story, of being mislabeled as child brides into polygamous marriage by Child Protective Services, and may or may not be heard. Generally, the FLDS seem to be holding a united front against any who would try to disrupt their community for any reason.
The Salt Lake Tribune reported, "the women's testimony is expected to be key—if they give it." FLDS spokesman Willie Jessop said the women called as witnesses are being asked to choose between their children and their husbands, their freedom and their faith. The first part of this statement illuminates a theme that runs like a river through "herstory" (the history of women)—all too often women are forced to choose between their children and their husbands, which is one of the leading causes of divorce, especially in blended families. And the strong alliance of faith and freedom—having the freedom to exercise faith—is the primary reason the Pilgrims settled America. What Willie Jessop probably means is that the women called as witnesses are being forced to choose between freedom and obedience to the patriarchy. And this, I concede, is true. But I believe it is a good choice, valid and empowering when freedom prevails.
Any observations on Willie's statement and related matters are welcome.

So, it turn out Seth was still really upset about the whole "tying him up and stealing the blog out from under his feet" thing. So much so that he locked me in a darkened room for a whole week with nothing but bran muffins and the occasional cupcake to eat. Truth be told I'm not even sure this post will go up. But when he finally let me out on good behavior, I found a surprise waiting for me at my front door. Just sitting there, for I don't know how long (thank you so much, United States Postal Service) was a box with a little note on it telling me I could keep the contents if I promised to give them a good home and play on my video game collection. As a sign of good faith to this generous individual whom we shall call 'Luke', I enclose the following photos:

San Ysidro swap meet replaced with Goodwill
"Oh yes, we all know it will close at the end of the year."
Marty Graham 3 p.m., Sept. 22
An administrative law judge of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has ruled that Southern California Edison (SCE) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE), co-owners of the now-closed San Onofre nuclear plant, must justify customer charges at meetings in March — March 15 for Edison and a week later for SDGE. The ruling was in response to filings by San Diego attorney Mike Aguirre, who says that Edison has been stalling for months, getting extensions from CPUC bureaucrats who weren't famiilar with legal requirements. Meanwhile, Edison and San Diego gas customers have paid $115 to $140 a year for a steam generator replacement program that was a flop; generators lasted less than two years. The utilities will now have to show that these charges have been reasonable, so they can try to put these costs into customers' rates, says Aguirre.
Because we can?
Brightraven: I doubt the utilities can show that the charges were reasonable, because SDGE and SCE customers were getting nothing in return for their payments, but the CPUC is more interested in utility profits than ratepayer fairness. Best, Don Bauder
Any sign of incompetence has a more than even chance of being representative of the whole.
Indeed. It's William of Occam's principle of parsimony at it's most basic. One should always choose the simplest explanation of a phenomenon, the one that requires the fewest leaps of logic.
I tried "Occam's razor" once, but it just didn't work as well as Schick. But I give him an "E" for effort!
dwbat: Stick with the big enchilada: Gillette. Best, Don Bauder
tomjohnston: But with the CPUC and the utilities, obfuscation is the path to getting away with murder. Best, Don Bauder
Twister: With the CPUC, we're often talking of corruption, not incompetence. Often, the regulator, after finding that it has been wrong, says that a utility's corruption was simply incompetence. Best, Don Bauder
Good POINT, Don. Thou hast cast off the cataracts from mine eyes!
And I thought I knew all their dirty tricks.
their smarmy lawyers are working on plausible explanation as we type.
Murphyjunk: No doubt. Smarminess camouflages crookedness. Best, Don Bauder
Maximum plausible deniability. Remember the Tricky Dick gang?
Taxpayers are owed refunds from the utilities and unsafe San Onofre nuclear power plant should be shuttered permanently.
Thank you for this report, Don Bauder. Can ratepayers send comments to the CPUC before the March meetings of SDG&E and Southern California Edison to reinforce the judge's finding that they are being ripped off?
And thank you to intrepid lawyer Mike Aguirre for continuing to protect the public interest.
monaghan: Go to the CPUC website and get the email address of the big honcho, Mike Peevey. Flood him with emails. Best, Don Bauder
Please (anybody) send suggested text, with references to the relevant facts.

By Virginia B. Wood,
2:50PM, Wed. Jul. 24, 2013
Pie man Bud Royer has been yearning for an Austin retail outlet for several years. Now a whimsical younger sibling of the legendary Royers Round Top Cafe is coming to Austin. It's gonna happen!
All of the sweet pies, savory pies, pie muffins, and pastries will arrive fresh daily from Round Top. Austin's own Amy's ice cream will be available to give slices of pie the ala mode treatment and also as a component to Royer's newest decadent concoction: Pie Shakes, made with pie chunks, milk, and ice cream! The store will also offer a full-service coffee bar and will be able to cater sweet events. Whole pies can be ordered for pick up at the Pie Haven and, of course, it's always possible to send pies via mail order from www.RoyersRoundTopTx.com.

"Universal" French gear shift cable, fits Huret, Schwinn, Benelux
These are traditional "universal" double-ended cables, standard cylindrical fitting on one end, disc fitting on the other. Cut off the end you do not need.
These are not nearly as nice as the stainless "Slick" cables we sell, so we do not recommend them unless you need the disc type fitting. If you have a Hurét or Benelux shift lever, including "Schwinn Approved" units actually made by Hurét these are the only ones that will fit without modification.
These cables fit in modern BRAKE housing, not modern derailer housing.

Sydney, July 30 (ANI): England fast bowler Chris Tremlett may be set for an extended stay in Australia after the second Ashes series if the Big Bash League (BBL) franchise Sydney Sixers manage to sign him for the tournament, slated to start from December 2013.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the imposing 2.01m tall Surrey quick, who has been drafted into the 14-man English squad for the third Test at a bouncy Old Trafford, have made an impression on recruiters for the SCG-based Sixers, who went on to triumph in last year's rich T20 Champions League.
The report further said that Tremlett's talents, combined with his towering height with a penchant for pace and accuracy has made him an interest for the Sixers for the extended tournament in the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, the report said that the paceman has not played for England for 15 months due to a series of injuries, and despite being included ahead of Steven Finn and Graham Onions for Manchester, is not certain to feature with James Anderson, Tim Bresnan and Stuart Broad also in the squad.
However, former England captain and Surrey executive director Alec Stewart warned Australia that Tremlett is near to the level he found in that last Ashes tour in 2010/11, in which he claimed 17 wickets in three matches, adding that he is now bowling better, is strong in the mind and has had a taste of Ashes success.
The Sixers have seamers Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Trent Copeland on their books but are looking to boost their roster with Starc likely to be busy for most or all of the BBL with Australian commitments, the report added. (ANI)

text: After selling my MS211, I had the need for a limbing/smaller saw. I decided that with the storm coming, if I was serious, it was time to order. I remember the lack of saws available after the storms last year, so I went ahead and ordered the 346xp with a 16 inch bar. It came yesterday. Gonna run her today. Assembled it with a flashlight in my teeth, so the pic is via the same flashlight source.

- Raise awareness about the prevalence and impact of family abuse;
- Educate about domestic abuse and the various roles in a coordinated community response;
- Inspire and empower communities and their leadership to support survivors of abuse and eliminate domestic violence.
The FCIA Domestic Violence Prevention Task Force meets the second Thursday of the month from 1:30 pm. to 3:30 pm. For more information or to RSVP, please contact the Community Interfaith Coordination Office.
The focus of our meetings is education, information sharing and faith community collaboration. Our goals are to give the members the tools they need to go back to their faith community and increase the awareness of Domestic Violence issues and actively pursue initiatives to assist victims and decrease the incidence of domestic violence. We work together to develop best practices and determine how to best inform and involve faith communities regarding domestic violence prevention practices and support services available. The task force members provide insight on how to engage faith communities with this problem.

Service in Honor of Veterans
October 10, 2013
Approximately 25 Bradley students visited Seven Circles Heritage Center in Edwards, Ill, on September 7, to help clean up and prepare the grounds and building for the annual Veterans Powwow on September 20 to 22.
Students spent the morning enhancing the landscaping by moving mulch and weeding in preparation for seeding.
The PowWow, an annual event, is intended for the healing and honoring of all veterans. The veterans, including honor guards from a number of service branches, received special recognition on Friday evening with a reading of MIA and POW names. During the PowWow, the veterans are the first to enter the arena to dance.

We brought you the trailer in March, but now the pilot for new web series "Other Men" has finally arrived. And it makes a strong impression.
Written by Ben Ladouceur, the first episode finds Jerry (Nathan Carroll) reflecting on the events of his first year in Toronto, having moved from a small town to pursue an English degree. He's seen refusing a phone call from Hank (G. Kyle Shields), a playwright who, we find out, took Jerry under his wing and became his boyfriend. In just fifteen minutes, things go from pleasant romanticism to biting betrayal.
It is hard to say just yet how the plot will develop. Will the entire series take place within one year, or will we see Jerry move on from his reflection? One thing is for sure: there's little of the sassy wit or stereotypical gay humor we've become accustomed to in many web series on display here. It is a refreshing and dramatic twist on the genre.

Treatments for Compulsive Gambling
Gamblers Anonymous
The fellowship of Gamblers Anonymous is the outgrowth of a chance meeting between two men in January 1957. These men had a truly baffling history of trouble and misery owing to a gambling obsession. They began to meet regularly and as the months passed neither had returned to gambling.
They concluded from their discussions that certain character changes were required in order to prevent a relapse. They were guided by certain spiritual principles that had been utilized by thousands of people who were recovering from other compulsive addictions. The word "spiritual" can describe qualities such as kindness, generosity, honesty and humility.
Also, in order to maintain their own abstinence they felt that it was vitally important that they carry the message of hope to other compulsive gamblers. As a result of favorable publicity by a prominent newspaper columnist and TV commentator, the first group meeting of Gamblers Anonymous was held on Friday, Sept. 13, 1957, in Los Angeles, Calif. Since that time, the fellowship has grown steadily and groups are flourishing throughout the world.
The Gamblers Anonymous program addresses both the moral and financial issues troubling the compulsive gambler. Financial issues always seem paramount to the gambler, as this is usually what precipitates the crisis. A financial inventory of assets and debts will lead to a pressured group meeting where the gambler will receive help in straightening out his or her financial woes.
The 12 Steps of Gamblers Anonymous
- We admitted we were powerless over gambling that our lives had become unmanageable.
- We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to a normal way of thinking and living.
- We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the Power of our own understanding.
- We made a searching and fearless moral and financial inventory of ourselves.
- We admitted to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
- We were entirely ready to have these defects of character removed.
- We humbly asked God (of our understanding) to remove our shortcomings.
- We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
- We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
- We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
- We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
- Having made an effort to practice these principles in all our affairs, we tried to carry this message to other compulsive gamblers.
Counseling and Psychotherapy
In addition to Gamblers Anonymous, individuals often work with a therapist. Sometimes therapists will see the individual with his family since compulsive gambling invariably affects the whole family. It is imperative to seek a therapist who has experience dealing with compulsive gamblers and their treatment.
Some physicians will prescribe medicine that may help decrease the craving for gambling. Some of the medications that may help include antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft, and Luvox, which are also used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorders.
Clomipramine also has been reported to reduce pathological gambling. Wellbutrin, an antidepressant that is also used to treat attention- deficit/hyperactivity disorder, may be prescribed to those who have a history of attention-deficit and depression.
The use of psychotrophic medicine has met with some success. This is especially true if there is a coexisting depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorder, alcohol dependence or bipolar disorder. Medications work best when used with concurrent psychological treatment, family therapy and the 12 steps.

Hough: Shoes are my babies
Julianne Hough has a whole spare room dedicated to her shoes.
The 25-year-old star is a footwear fanatic and has dedicated a massive space in her home to her impressive collection.
Filled up with dozens of shoes - a lot from her own Sole Society line - Julianne explained the reason behind her hoarding.
"I don't have kids, I don't live with anybody - this is my baby room!" she laughed to E! News.
"Julianne Hough for Sole Society is what I've been focusing on for a whole year and I'm very proud to have my name on it."
The blonde beauty launched her range with the footwear giant earlier this year and is getting ready to release her next range.
She recently spoke about how designing has helped her bring out her imaginative side.
"Working on my shoe collection has allowed me to explore my creativity in a new way, it's really exciting to watch your designs take shape," she told WWD.
"Waiting to wear the shoes [is the hardest part of the process]. We are working on production almost a year out, so you tend to fall in love with silhouettes a season ahead."
Julianne's passion for designing started a long time ago. Before fabricating her own shoes the actress made pieces to wear during her favourite activity.
"I used to design my own dresses for dancing, so I've always wanted to create. Being able to put on something that you see on a runway and make it a little bit more your own is so much fun," she previously explained. "I love that".

Both reported short sleep and reported long sleep are major predictors of excess mortality risk, but the importance of reported sleep duration as a risk factor is not yet known. Sleep-related risks are of special interest to The Women's Health Initiative (WHI), because insomnia increases among women at menopause, and because WHI's hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and dietary modification (DM) may influence sleep. The WHI is an exciting opportunity to examine whether risks associated with reported sleep durations can be explained by a selection of intercurrent conditions, but the broad WHI design does not control for important potential confounders. Explicitly, the broad WHI design by itself cannot determine if behaviorally-modifiable objective sleep durations are the primary risk factor.
This ancillary project supplemented the WHI Observational Study (OS) by performing additional examinations on 600 San Diego OS women. These volunteers underwent home sleep recordings, hormone measurement, and detailed psychiatric interviews. To facilitate distinction of affective and sleep factors in WHI outcomes, the types and severity of depression in the OS subsample and the validity and reliability of sleep items in questionnaires given to WHI women were examined.
The study completion date listed in this record was obtained from the "End Date" entered in the Protocol Registration and Results System (PRS) record.

Another manic… Wednesday? Why not take a break from the manicness and enjoy some playtime with Bike Mania?
Bike Mania is another great weight-shifting game from the folks at Flashgames247.com. In this one you're on a motorbike working your way over rocks and barrels as fast as you can.
The game is controlled with the arrow keys. Up and down will accelerate and reverse your bike. Left and right will move the rider forward and back.
Out of all the weight shifting games we've played recently, Bike Mania felt the most realistic. It could be the character animation looked right, or that this kind of game works the best with motorbikes. At any rate, we loved the feel of the game. The graphics are so-so. They're clean and look okay, but look more like the action is happening in front of a mural.
GameSpotter is a site that specializes in finding the best Web-based games. Each day we feature a new game on our front page. Each month we add dozens of new games to our hand-edited directory.

1. I eat pears with knives. I think they are too messy to eat "apple" style.
2. I've been tracking my food again for an assignment in my nutrition class, and it's forcing me to realize that my intuitive eating might not be as sharp as I thought it was. Since I've stopped tracking food over the past year, portion sizes have gradually increased and so have the number of treats. I might just keep tracking for a few weeks to refresh my memory of what is a correct portion size. Sigh. Does the battle to find balance ever end?
3. I'm thinking about going for my first ever spray tan before we go on our beach vacation next month. I'm not even all that concerned about being "tan" I mostly just want to match. For years I didn't wear shorts or skirts because I wasn't happy with my body. Last year, I started to wear them, but my legs are still about 10 years behind the rest of my body when it comes to color. Top half of my body=dark complected. Bottom half=pasty white. I look like two halves from two different bodies. I'm scared. Tanning places are scary. And I don't want to turn out orange.
4. I forget my age. All the damn time. I know I'm not 30 yet, and I know I passed 25 a while back, but other than that, I'm usually totally lost. Why is 28 so hard to remember? TWENTY EIGHT.
5. My purse pretty much always looks like some sort of bomb went off inside of it. And I certainly can never find anything in it. I managed to even "lose" an apple in it. By the time I found it a few weeks later, it looked like this. Gross. I really need to stop carrying huge, pocket-less purses.

Nasty weather wiped out Southern's three-game exhibition series against LSU-Eunice this weekend, robbing the Jaguars of a chance to do some fine-tuning before heading to Fort Worth, Texas, for the Southwestern Athletic Conference baseball tournament.
The teams had planned to play once Friday and twice Saturday until rain storms interfered.
The silver lining, Southern coach Roger Cador said, is that a couple more days off gave the Jaguars (20-21) even more time to rest players they hope to soon have back.
"We're getting everybody back at the right time," Cador said.
Injuries played a role in Southern's position as a SWAC tournament bubble team with only two weekends remaining on its Western Division schedule.
But when the Jaguars — who rallied to win the West title and earn a No. 1 seed in the SWAC tournament — begin play against East No. 4 seed Alabama A&M on Wednesday in Fort Worth, Cador said junior outfielder Sean Washington may be the only regular starter missing from the lineup.
Washington is questionable for the postseason with a lingering shin injury.
Cador expected to have junior outfielder D.J. Wallace back in the lineup for the exhibition series against LSUE, but said the weekend off gave the 6-foot-3, 220-pound slugger more time to heal. Wallace has played in only a handful of games this season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
Instead of easing him back, Cador said Wallace will play right field and bat in the middle of the Southern lineup.
"We feel really good about him being able to help us," Cador said.
Senior shortstop Jeremy Lopez (ankle) and sophomore catcher Fernando Morales (leg) are also expected back after battling injuries much of the season.
Cador hopes a healthier lineup will help the Jaguars avoid a fate in the SWAC tournament similar to last year, when they entered as the No. 1 seed from the West and had the advantage of playing on their home diamond.
Southern was upset by Mississippi Valley in its opener, then lost again to the Delta Devils two days later. Just like that, the Jaguars were gone from NCAA tournament contention.
The opener this year comes against an Alabama A&M team with an uninspiring resume.
The Bulldogs (8-39) won only two nonconference games all season. During a six-day stretch in mid-March, they lost two games to Arkansas by 31 runs, then lost four more to New Mexico State by a 79-16 margin.
Five of their six SWAC East wins came against Valley, which went 5-44 overall and knocked off A&M for its only win in division play.
"It's important that we win the first game," Cador said. "That's our focus right now."
Southern's game against Alabama A&M is the third of four Wednesday and gets underway at 3 p.m. The winner will play at 3 p.m. Thursday; the loser at 9 a.m. Thursday.
Cador said he will go with senior left-hander Jesse "Doc" Holiday in the opener and with junior right-hander Jose De Leon in the second game. Senior right-hander Danny Garcia would pitch for Southern in a third game.
Jackson State, which went 19-5 in SWAC East play, is the tournament's other No. 1 seed.
"I think it's a balanced tournament," Cador said. "I don't know if anybody really has an advantage. It's all going to come down to who gets the best pitching."

A LEADING advocate has criticised the body that represents Scotland's top lawyers, claiming the 500-year-old organisation suffers from a "chronic lack of transparency".
Siggi Bennett, a member of the Scottish bar since 1982 and author of several legal textbooks, described the Faculty of Advocates as reactionary and undemocratic in the face of a crisis engulfing the profession.
Mr Bennett claimed the Edinburgh-based organisation "excludes accountability at every level" and has failed to protect its members' interests against the threat from solicitor-advocates.
Loading article content
He said solicitor-advocates have been taking over an increasing share of the legal workload since they were first allowed to appear at the High Court and Court of Session in 1990.
Previously, solicitors had to instruct an advocate to act on their behalf for clients when cases reached Scotland's highest courts.
Advocates are also said to be increasingly concerned about the future of the profession in the face of Lord Gill's proposed court reforms.
They would bar cases worth less than £150,000 from the Court of Session. The current threshold is £5000. A source close to the Faculty said it could spell "the beginning of the end" for the profession as available work is slashed.
The warnings come ahead of the inaugural lecture to the faculty by new Dean, James Wolffe, QC, on May 7.
Mr Bennett said: "Democratic bodies everywhere accept responsibility to engage their electors' interest, to go out of their way to inform them as to the issues of the day, but this is quite alien to the culture of the Faculty of Advocates.
"Here it is acceptable that our representative body, the Faculty Council, should to all intents and purposes be invisible, not properly accountable, its electorate remote, disengaged and apathetic."
Mr Bennett resigned from the Faculty council in 1996 after junior members were forbidden to question office-bearers, and he says the routine circulation of agendas and minutes from meetings was halted "without notice or explanation".
Mr Bennett is at odds with the faculty over his support for scrapping the need for corroboration in criminal cases, and the not-proven verdict, and wants television cameras in Scots courtrooms.
He said the body was "backward looking" and had failed to react to the competitive threat from solicitor-advocates.
"When we lost our monopoly in 1990, the then Dean of the Faculty Alan Johnstone expressed a complete lack of concern about the advent of competition," said Mr Bennett. "He professed himself totally satisfied that the faculty would hold its own, wouldn't lose any competitive ground.
"And that's the mood of complacency that has pervaded the faculty ever since."
Advocate firms have had to sell off assets and make staff redundant as their case-loads have fallen. The problem is expected to be exacerbated by the Gill reforms. Frustration with the Faculty is said to be widespread among advocates.
A source said: "You can see that there is obviously likely to be a big reduction in work in the Court of Session. But when you have a leadership that is slow to adapt and not business-minded it doesn't fill members with confidence."
Mr Wolffe said: "I have no doubt that many advocates are deeply concerned about the potential effect of the current proposals to reform the courts in Scotland not only on their future livelihoods but also for access to justice. Advocates are not alone."
He added that he is determined ministers should recognise the importance of an independent bar.

BBC Review
Strongly tipped Londoners deliver their stunning debut album.
Camilla Pia 2012
The less said about three of TOY's previous dabbling, as the Jing Jang Jong to almost indie icon Joe Lean, the better. A youthful blunder, by all accounts. Besides, it's more worthwhile to forget their murky past and focus on the scintillating, smart psych rock they're currently making.
In a recent interview with The Fly, the moody troupe led by bewitching-looking frontman Tom Dougall promised to deliver a new album every year. Oh TOY, please do. This debut is all creepy, crawly kinds of fun, and we already want more.
Remember how it took The Horrors two records to dig deeper emotionally, embrace glorious melody and add ambitious experimentation to their vitriolic goth-backed-into-a-corner squall? This lot have done it in one. TOY is a carefully crafted kaleidoscopic whirl of playfully skipping basslines, muted motorik beats, roaring riffs and epic choruses that explode seemingly from nowhere.
It's a record to obsess over from the off. Colours Running Out is an intoxicatingly nimble opener, Reasons Why shows the band hitting hazy melancholy heights with Dougall singing, "Teary eyed, I feel I must pass you by". Dead & Gone then ensnares us quite subtly before hurtling towards a ferociously thrilling climax, and that's all before recent singles Motoring and Lose My Way work their intoxicating menacing magic. Both dig sonic claws in tight, refusing to loosen their grip.
My Heart Skips a Beat is another standout – soaring Cure-like, close-your-eyes-and-blub-with-joy music – but there's more greatness still. Ballad Walk Up to Me wilts like a dying rose, and Kopte is almost 10 minutes of wonderfully crashing attack. The record's peppered instrumentals – the fragile Omni, the demonically atmospheric Drifting Deeper – hint at exciting future explorations to come.
TOY does what you want all debuts to do. It pays homage to legends past (in this case, all those clever Krautrockers), nods to great recent mentors (hello The Horrors), and then struts its own stuff rather majestically. It's the sound of a band finally getting to grips with what they're great at, and bursting with ideas about where to take it next. Now go play.

This project has been bouncing around the internet a little but it is well worth mentioning here on the Shapeways blog.
A couple of guys designed an iPhone 4 accessory with two primary functions: mounting your iPhone to a standard tripod, and acting as a kickstand to prop your iPhone up at an angle. They made their first prototypes with Shapeways (having to order a couple to make the minimum $25 order).
Cool idea, nice design, they were interested in taking The Glif into mass production so they put it along with a quick video on Kickstarter seeking $10,000 in backing to get it into production. Those who pledge $20 or more get an injection molded plastic version when it goes into production, those who back $50 or more get a 3D printed version (way cooler).
As you may have guessed by the image above they have been totally swamped with 3947 backers, raising over $100,000 with 19 days still left to go. This project shows the amazing potential for a couple of guys, (sure they are experienced designers), getting their product to market without licensing out their design to a 'branded' manufacturer, retaining their IP, reaching an eager market and proving the product in the field using 3D printing. Perhaps to even take it into mass production is the wrong the direction and they could instead 3D print the product, keeping lean and agile so they can design for the iPhone 3 & iPhone5 without the cost of retooling.
Anyway, congrats to Thomas Gerhardt and Dan Provost on 1004% funding 🙂 Now what ideas do you have that could be 3D printed and then Kickstarted into the stratosphere?

Studies shows device-guided paced breathing lowers blood pressure & peripheral resistance
RESPeRATE® demonstrates sustained effect on blood vesselsNew York--American Society of Hypertension--Booth #2412--May 16, 2006--InterCure, Ltd., today announced new findings demonstrating the mechanism of action of its FDA-cleared hypertension treatment device, RESPeRATE. Details from four new studies will be presented at the American Society of Hypertension's 21st Annual Scientific Meeting (ASH 2006) in New York. The studies directly showed a reduction in the resistance of narrowed blood vessels to blood flow (peripheral resistance) and lower blood pressure.
The mechanism study, led by Dr. Kyung-Hoon Choe, from Wonju College of Medicine in South Korea, measured Systemic Vascular Resistance Index [SVRI] and other hemodynamic parameters, heart rate, and blood pressure of 22 hypertensive patients. The patient group was part of a 70-patient multi-center study using RESPeRATE for fifteen minutes a day throughout an eight week period. Overall, patients experienced a significant blood pressure reduction (average) of 12.6/5.3 mmHg (p<0.001) without a change in heart rate. Furthermore, peripheral resistance as measured by SVRI in the subgroup tested was significantly reduced from the baseline to end values, 3309 �� 702 vs. 2898 �� 621 dyne sec m2/cm5, respectively (p<0.001).
"The practical implication of our findings is significant," said Dr. Choe. "This direct physiological evidence gives us further confidence that the device lowers blood pressure and treats one of its most significant contributing factors." Narrowed small blood vessels are a primary factor in elevated blood pressure, as they increase the resistance to the body's blood flow and make the heart pump harder. Over time, this overloading of the heart and higher blood pressure can lead to heart failure, rupture of the vessel walls in the brain (stroke), eye damage, kidney failure and other life threatening conditions.
A separate study presented at the conference evaluated the blood pressure lowering effect of RESPeRATE in the diabetic population. The study is a randomized controlled study of non-insulin dependent diabetics with uncontrolled systolic blood pressure. The interim analysis of 60 patients demonstrates a significant difference in systolic BP change between the treatment and control groups (-9.5 �� 1.9 vs. +2.1 �� 2.4 mmHg, p=0.0002). Reduction of pulse pressure was significantly higher in the treatment group compared to control (�V5.9 vs. +3.6 mmHg, p=0.0007). Greater systolic BP reduction was found to be significantly correlated with the total time spent in slow breathing guided by the device (p=0.01) and no side effects were observed. Diastolic BP, initially controlled in both groups, was further decreased.

Monday, February 26, 2007
That's what the person behind the desk asked me when I handed her my form. Maybe she saw that it was from a genetic counselor's office and so assumed that genetics testing = baby. I don't know. For a split second I thought about saying "yes," because sort of it is for my baby -- the one I don't yet have -- but mostly I just wanted to slap her in the face.
"Oh, no, for you," she corrected herself before I had a chance to. Glad we got that cleared up.
* * * * *
Maybe it's just me, but nothing makes me feel more alone in this world than going to a doctor's office by myself. I want to be taken there by a concerned parent, or bringing a child I'm caring for. Or at least going with a family member. Or, well, not going at all.
But here we are, me and my independent life. Me and my job as an independent contractor; me and my independent health insurance; me and my independent trip to the genetics department.
The entire visit was one big exercise in self-control. I had to prepare myself to ignore all emotional cues and be brave. Focus. I told myself to listen. Learn. Absorb everything the counselor said so I could understand all the possibilities. Who knows how this will go. No sense in getting upset before you know anything.
* * * * *
I met with the counselor who was very kind and non-condescending. I asked a lot of questions and was given a lot of information. I recounted my family history and the deaths of my parents and difficulties my nephew had that led the specialists to test for Fragile-X so early. I tried to sound matter-of-fact and clinical.
I smiled when I talked about my family, and my parents' respective personalities. Only once did I have to work hard not to cry, when the counselor had to take a phone call and I had nothing to do but sit there and process where I was, and why.
But she came back quickly and I regained control.
In the end, she told me I could get my blood taken that day and that they'd get the results in about two weeks and how did I want to get the news? I didn't like that question one bit, but it wasn't her fault for asking.
I told her the phone would be fine, I just want to know.
Then she asked me if I thought I was a carrier.
I didn't like that question, either. Especially after she told me the likelihood that I was carrying this "defect" was 75%. But I was honest.
I told her no, I didn't actually think I was. But I added that probably everyone says that.
* * * *
I got to the blood-drawing center and had to take a number. The room was overflowing with people who were mostly elderly and frail and sick, and I pushed hard, really hard, to not feel anything. Especially not alone.
I tried to focus on going through the motions. Heh. Take a number. Like I'm buying chicken at Whole Foods.
I tried to read the magazines. I called Ish and discussed with him what I'd learned so far, but also dinner plans. La la la.
And then they called my number and that's when the woman asked if the test was for me or my baby. Which is an innocent enough mistake, except I had spent all morning (and actually, the 8+ weeks I'd waited to get this appointment) working hard to distance myself from the implications. Facts were one thing, and I could speak in percentiles and likelihoods. But the reality, that having a "normal" child would be even more difficult than I already anticipated, is almost too much to bear, and I could hear my answers screaming in my head...
I didn't actually say any of that and mostly just got in another line, waiting to get pricked so I could bleed into a vial and get on with my day.
* * * *
Two weeks later, I hadn't heard anything so I called and left a message.
And when the counselor called back, she was very straightforward about telling me that yes, I am a pre-mutation carrier. We discussed next steps.
I didn't cry.

Hug? Would a hug help? How about an ear? Or, I suppose, a pair of eyeballs - becuase we are, afterall, bloggers, and so we write things down. Sometimes. And sometimes it's nice to just know that others are out there reading the things we write down.
To quote my late father, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 33, "Well, ain't that the shits?"ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry that the news didn't turn out the way you wanted it, but knowledge is power, and I applaud you for going forth and gaining that knowledge. I know your head has to be spinning right about now, but when things slow down and you are able to think clearly I'm sure you will truly realize that knowing the facts is truly a good thing.
Drink some wine, hug your kittys and your Ish. Listen to some sad, sad Jackson Browne music, and then pick yourself up by your bootstraps. (and it IS ok to cry...)
IIF hugs to you...
I'm so sorry! Knowing is so much better than not, and you're brave to have gone and gotten tested. I don't know you, not in person, anyway, but I just want to reach out and give you a huge hug.ReplyDelete
Sending a big hug. It sucks going to the doctor on your own.ReplyDelete
I admire your courage. Hang in there.
oh man. that really IS the shits.ReplyDelete
also sending an IIH (invisible internet hug).

I have been silently reading your blog for over a year now. I was introduced to it by my old college pal who writes 'Embrace Mediocrity'. For this whole time, I have been reading and laughing and crying over your revealing writing. Your post today made me finally leave you a note.ReplyDelete
I am 28, married, and dying to have a baby NOW. I am still childless while I wait for my brilliant and dear husband to finish his PhD in a field he is very passionate about, biomedical research. He is adopted, and so, when we finally have a baby, we will go through this step that you have just taken. Even if you have a person and a plan that you think you can count on to build your family with, I'm finding that the waiting is harder than I ever imagined.
People like my husband are working very diligently on understanding every disorder under the sun, and are making amazing progress with gene therapies. If our president would do his part by getting off his stupid uniformed ass regarding stem cell research, they could really kick some ass... but I digress.
What I really want to say is how brave I think you are. All of these advances in science are meaningless unless people are willing to do scary things like this, and arm themselves with every piece of information that they can. Because, really, that is the only ammunition that counts for anything.
Keep it up! Being brave, that is, oh, and the writing. Because, even if we only come out of the woodwork once a year, you have some really devoted IIFs.
Hugs to you.
BG in Gainesville, FL
I am sorry to hear that you are a carrier. Nothing I can say will make you feel better, but I am sure you know you did the right thing by taking the steps to find out the truth.ReplyDelete
More hugs to you from way over here.
BG's hubby is wicked smart. :)ReplyDelete
It kind of makes you wonder, is it better to know or not? And, I think, for the most part, it is better to know. At least you have some way of preparing for things.
More hugs for you and Ish and your sis and her hubby and the baby.

Oh, K. I don't know what to say. I want to give you a huge hug right now. Be prepared to be tackled at your concert if I don't see you before then. You will be hugged. (I might also hump your leg for good measure. I make no promises, though.)ReplyDelete
You are amazing and incredibly brave to take this step. I've read your posts where you make fun of your own irresponsibility--you just did the most intelligent and responsible thing a person can do before having kids. I'm sorry the news wasn't better. With this kind of integrity you'd make a fantastic mother.ReplyDelete

Kristy, you are in my thoughts.

I too have some genetic issues that I chose not to take the chance of passing on to a baby. As much as I've always wanted a child of my own.. and believe me.. I wanted one bad.. to pass on my legacy and my father's heritage.. but I'd never be able to forgive myself for passing on some of the physical things that have haunted me all of my life... I'd never forgive myself if I caused another person to have to live thru that.
But some days it's SO hard..... especially right now, but then again.. look at the world today.. it's hard to even THINK about bringing a new baby into it.
Hang in there girl.. and give yourself a little extra love today.

When my two sons with autism (PDD - mild variety) were very young, I often wondered if I should have had them or not. Was it worth it - it was so hard because toddlerhood is hard enough and when you have two whirling dervishes running through the house and experts who give you a bleak outlook, it's hard not to question whether or not I should have had them. Had there been a test - had I taken it before they were born, I probably wouldn't have had them.ReplyDelete
They are older now - still tough but things are easier. They talk. They are in their own worlds but they often let me in - something the experts said probably wouldn't happen. The hard work has borne some fruit. I was contemplating your post as I put my 5 year old on the bus - off to regular kindergarten - something the "experts" said wouldn't happen.
If the choice were my two sons as they are, or no children at all, ever - I pick my beautiful, misundersttod children.
Of course, there will always be part of me that will wonder what life with typical children would have been like.
But life without them? Too, too empty for me to even consider.
I'm not sure what sort of mutation you are up against here - but please don't make lasting decisions about your future based on a few tests. Science marches forward... things are changing quickly.
As my husband often points out when I am feeling overwhelmed, even the perfect baby at birth isn't a guarentee that the child will grow up without issues. Parents sometimes lose their perfect babies in adolescence to substance abuse. Accidents. Cancer. A host of things can go wrong at any point - to any of us.
I wish you peace, whatever you decide. Having children is hard, no matter what - I am not sure if you are better off knowing what you know or not. But I do hope whatever you decide brings you peace.

Just delurking to give a big virtual hug. I have been reading your blog for over a year, and have been so impressed.ReplyDelete
My sister and I were both adopted (we're in our twenties now) and it's frightening to meet with a doctor and tell them that I have no family history. It makes your life feel like one big unknown.
But your post is making me put on my big girl pants and consider taking more control.
Thank you.
~KL in DC
Sending you love...ReplyDelete
What an amazing post.ReplyDelete
I am facing similar issues, even though I am single now, I would love to have children someday but the thought of passing on the disease I have, which appears to be genetically linked, is truly scary. I really admire your courage. Lots if hugs to you.
Well this sucks big Moby Dick. :(ReplyDelete
I wish I had something profound to say to make you feel better but I don't think anything I say could work.
Just know that we are all here for you.
Keep your chin and your boobs up,
I think that going to get that testing, to face that music before you're even sure you'll have to someday, was incredibly brave and strong, even though maybe you didn't feel brave and strong. (People always tell you you're brave and strong when you feel scared and vulnerable, I find.) My thoughts are with you, and I wish you luck and peace.ReplyDelete

My heart breaks for my image of you sitting alone in a waiting room and perhaps alone getting that phone call.
I'm sorry you had to do it alone, but by writing about it you are no longer alone.. across the miles we all are with you.
Maybe you should have looked at them and said, "What are you - retarded?"ReplyDelete
So sorry about the bad humor. But I have nothing else....
This is probably going to make me very unpopular.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry that you have discovered that you are a 'carrier' of Fragile X. But...
So what!?
What does this information really tell you? Just that you have a little bit of insight into the possibilities of a yet-to-be-conceived child. You have a little bit of an edge in knowing what you MIGHT get.
Non-carriers can still have autistic children. Or children with Down's Syndrome, or a myriad of other genetic anomalies. Or they could be born genetically "normal" (whatever that is) and end up with an umbilical cord around their neck that impairs them for life. Or they could be born perfectly healthy and suffer SIDS or step in front of a school bus.
You can't let the fear of statistics and possibilities and what-ifs guide your life.
Raising any child is hard, but by all accounts the most rewarding thing you will ever do.
Denying a child, fragile X or not the opportunity to have a breezy elegant mother who will love him/her fiercely would be the tragedy here.

I have two boys with fx syndrome, and a girl without. Did not know I was a carrier when the boys were born, but chanced it to have a third (and was hoping for a non-fx, it's a long story...) We went to a geneticist when the baby was 10 weeks gestational--and he said, yea we could test invitro, and make our decision from that. And then he turned around and showed us a wall of very thick books, and said. These are all the genetic disorders we know about. We can test for fx, but it doesn't mean the child is free from anything else. So what did this mean? Well, we tested anyway, we were lucky...and since then, I've decided that I'm lucky for ALL my kids. Even my special boys that are challenging are mine, and wonderful. Yes there are struggles, and we are on a different path than we had imagined many years ago, there are wonderful moments of happiness too...ReplyDelete
And saying all that, I know how it feels to be diagnosed a carrier. I wish you the best.
You have touched so many people with your writing. I am a Black woman living in Harlem and you probably wouldn't realize how much I relate to your thoughts and worries, and quirks. I always read your blog and rarely comment, but I love it. I don't know you, but I think that maybe you have something different to give this world. Maybe you will touch other children's lives like you have touched ours.ReplyDelete
So many people have said important and eloquent things to you. I have nothing different to add to what's been said.ReplyDelete
I'd just like to add that because you have the courage to share the things happy, sad, scary, and exhilarating that happen in your life, you are not alone. We may not be in your living room physically, but we are here for you virtually. *hugs*

I have a daughter that was born with many severe congenital heart defects. We didn't know she would be, nor did we know my husband was probably prone to carry some because of his family's health history. Had we known, we would have still tried for a baby. She was born completely unhealthy and the lovely surgeons at Stanford fixed her up.ReplyDelete
She's a thriving almost 5-year old. Just wanted to share our story because 1) had we known, we would have made that jump and 2) had we not known we would have made that jump.

The 25 Best Cigars of the Year 2012
San Lotano Oval Corona
If ever there was an ergonomic cigar, the San Lotano Oval is it. Semi-pressed and contoured, the Oval is named for its ovular head, flat body and dramatically rounded edges that allow the cigar to sit very comfortably in the mouth. It's made by A. J. Fernandez, who has been making third-party brands for quite some time. Fernandez eventually branched out on his own and started the San Lotano line in 2010, which he says is named for his family's brand in Cuba before the revolution. His factory is located in Estelí. In 2011, Fernandez brought the unique San Lotano Oval to market, taking into consideration both function and form.
The robust flavors are informed by a Habano 2000 wrapper from Ecuador combined with a leathery, woody-tasting blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobacco that leaves a pleasant, dried-cherry aftertaste.

David Vaughan joins Forest on loan
Sunderland midfielder David Vaughan has joined Championship side Nottingham Forest on loan.
• Randall: S'land's forgotten men
Vaughan, whose contract expires in the summer, joined Sunderland on a free transfer from Blackpool in 2011 but has found first-team opportunities limited this season and will now spend the next three months at the City Ground.
The 30-year-old told Forest's official website that he hopes to help the club secure their aim of promotion this season.
"I've been through a promotion-winning season before so hopefully I can give the lads some advice on how to do it. Every game in the Championship is tough but I'll be giving it my best," he said. "I'm very pleased to be here and the lads have all welcomed me in, so that's been great. The club has a good history and the way they play football suits my style.
"I need to play as many games as possible during my time here and I'd like to help Forest get some important points towards the target of promotion."
The Sunderland Echo also reports that Sunderland striker Connor Wickham is set for a loan to the Championship, with leaders Burnley close to agreeing a deal.

Museum of Coastal Carolina offers final Turtle Talk of the season.
OCEAN ISLE BEACH | As an aspiring marine biologist, 10-year-old Jordan Carey of Burlington was on the edge of her seat during the final Turtle Talk of the season at the Museum of Coastal Carolina.
Listening to Ocean Isle Beach Turtle Watch volunteer Jim Boyce talk about mother sea turtles laying their eggs on the beach, the process of watching and protecting the nests and the hatchlings making their way to the sea was inspiring, Jordan said.
"I learned that it's important to protect the nests so the sea turtles won't go extinct," said Jordan, whose family was house-sitting for relatives on Ocean Isle during the week.
Boyce told the group gathered at the museum for the Turtle Talk on Sept. 22 about the importance of responsibility in protecting threatened and endangered species such as sea turtles.
He explained that sea turtles eat jellyfish and mistake litter such as plastic bags, soda can rings or deflated balloons for their food, resulting in injury and even death. He urged them to avoid littering and to pick up litter when they see it on the strand.
Boyce also talked about this year's successful sea turtle season – between May and September, when mothers laid eggs on Ocean Isle Beach. "This was one of the best years ever," he said, noting that 24 nests hosted 2,849 eggs and resulted in the births of 2,300 turtles.
More than 98 percent of the sea turtles who lay eggs on the Brunswick Islands are loggerheads, the only sea turtle not on the endangered species list. The loggerhead is listed on the threatened list, and volunteers such as those on Ocean Isle have been instrumental in protecting the species, Boyce said.
Each year, volunteers at local beaches look for sea turtle nests, protect them and move them to safer places on the beach if necessary. Nest parents including local visitors watch the nests when it is time for the babies to hatch and help lead the hatchlings safely to the ocean.
He explained that the average incubation period for nests on Ocean Isle is 51.4 days, and each nest holds an average of 116.2 eggs.
Volunteers help hatchlings make it to sea, and many of them also help stranded adult sea turtles return to their homes.
Boyce and his wife, Deb Boyce, respond to dead, stranded and injured sea turtles on the beach, performing necropsies on dead turtles and transporting the injured ones to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on Topsail Island. "When we bring in a turtle that is next to death, take it to the hospital and then we go up there to help release it into the ocean, it's the best feeling," Deb Boyce said.
Hearing these success stories and the help that humans can provide for sea turtles was inspiring for young people like Jordan, and Deb Boyce said people like her are vital to the turtle watch program's mission.
"Our visitors really help us," she said. "Renters and homeowners are very helpful. They really take ownership of the nests."

Since Pulaski Theatre isn't going to be able to show the classic movie "Gone With the Wind" as planned Feb. 7, it will be replaced with "Captain Phillips," the American Film Institute's 2014 Film of the Year.
Tom Hanks stars in this thriller based on the true story of an American ship that was hijacked by Somali Pirates in 2009. The film was released in October. It is nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Motion Picture of the Year.
"As disappointed as we were at the postponing of "Gone with The Wind," said Sue Mason, the theatre's Facebook page administrator, "We're proud to share that we will be screening "Captain Phillips" instead. It's not a classic, but we have no doubt that it will be remembered as a great film."
The movie will be shown one time only, Friday, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 12 and younger, but parents should use caution as the film is rated PG-13 due to "sustained intense sequences of menace, some violence with bloody images and substance use." Doors open at 6:30.
"Captain Phillips" was adapted from the book "A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy Seals, and Dangerous Days at Sea" by Capt. Richard Phillips, who was captain of the hijacked container ship, Maersk Alabama. Hanks portrays Phillips.
A decision by Warner Bros. to pull all licensing to show "Gone With the Wind" forced the theatre to find a replacement film for its First Friday Classic Movie for February. The theatre shows classic movies at 7 p.m. on the first Friday of each month.
Other First Friday movies scheduled to be shown this year include "Star Wars," March 7; "Singin' in the Rain," April 4; and "The Wizard of Oz," May 2.
