Q. My doctor recently discovered that my potassium was a little low, so he put me on potassium pills. Later, after trying several blood pressure medicines, he switched me to triamterene-hydrochlorothiazide.
The patient prescription information sheet says not to take potassium supplements with this new diuretic medication, as it can raise potassium levels. The pharmacist didn't make too much of it, but I am really concerned as I already have fast irregular heartbeats. What should I do?
A. Your doctor must monitor your potassium at frequent intervals. When extra potassium is added to a diuretic containing triamterene (Dyazide, Maxzide), potassium overdose can occur, leading to irregular heart rhythms. In some cases this could be lethal. Even salt substitutes containing potassium chloride could cause trouble.

There are essentially three types of diseases. Quite like our personalities. One type fumes. They are like the monarchs. They announce their advent, they barge in, they trample. We humans either hurl defiances or we yield. The other flaunts. They flutter their wings, tease a wee bit, and then they depart. Quite like the socialites. There is a third type though. The unknown devils. The serpent in the grass…the slow wriggle, the blinkless stare, before the final smack. These are the ones patients are unaware of, and these are the ones we physicians are wary of.
Fatigue forms the epitome of this third type. Trashed and dismissed as tiredness and with a 'get your butt of your chair' kind of attitude, fatigue is that seemingly innocent bystander who with minimum flair would inflict the most decisive hack. Rhetoric aside, we will deal with the facts.
As a clinical entity fatigue comes in many shades, present to variable degrees in individual patients. A common presentation is an inability to initiate activity (perception of generalized weakness, in the absence of objective findings). Closely following this is the reduced capacity to maintain activity, otherwise called easy fatigability. And then the worse. Difficulty with concentration, memory, and emotional stability… what we call as mental fatigue. So whether it's a recent fatigue, prolonged fatigue or a chronic fatigue they are almost always the harbinger of an occult happening.
Let us then address the ones hidden just beneath the surface. Depression with its entire aura of inexplicability frequently comes out as fatigue. Long long before the hair tear begins, the desire for the rope sinks in, extreme, relentless fatigue becomes the frontline feature. Same with anxiety. And more importantly, domestic abuse. Literature is explicit that victims of domestic abuse often tucks themselves in a quiet corner, reluctant to release. What pours out is fatigue.
And of course malignancy. Any and every cancer hides beneath the cover of fatigue. And while we sprint around, shopping for over the counter energy pills, or worse, herbal remedies, it spreads wide and deep. We will remind ourselves that of all diseases, cancer is one disease where time is like a diamond. Yet the delay, while fatigue feigns unnoticed and unchallenged.
The list is long. From thyroid, to heart to diabetes to drugs, fatigue is all what we suffer from until the Pandora box opens and spills the beans.
Thus realization. Realization of a single thorn that can encompass a harvest. From realization will come awareness. Awareness that fatigue is a formidable foe that must be addressed, respected and taken into consideration.

No. 24: Foster Edwards' Orchestra – 50 Worst Album Covers
'What's Next?'
That's a great question. First, we saw two dogs in blonde wigs, now we get this. Next up: Throwing sundresses on blue whales.
Who is Foster Edwards? According to Google, he was a pitcher for the Boston Braves and New York Yankees back in the day.
What are those extremely depressed pachyderm wearing on their heads? Beatles wigs. Though, we'd argue they look more like sumo wrestler wigs.
We wonder how many peanuts these guys made for this gig.

Last night's Falcons game and today's presidential inauguration on FB.
Last night, FB was ablaze with excitement as the Dirty Birds were on their way to the Super Bowl only to be doused in bitter disappointment by the 49er's. Today will celebrate the life of civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King, and the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama. There were three posts quoting Dr. King, and two negative for the president. One retired car salesmen called him a SOB, and pointed finger at those of us who obviously voted for him. Apparently I'm helping to steal money from his granddaughter. The other comment came from a young naive 20 year old girl who works retail and attends a Southern Baptist Church. She believes that Obama is destroying the country with he's tyranny. Wow, really? That's it? Granted this based on a small 200 person friend list. I'm an average married women with 2 children. Our FB friends are teachers, real estates agents, and small businessmen/women, etc. Pretty average sample, I assume. That is why I'm so disappointed. I know I'm not the only Obama supporter, since our county went blue in a sea of red. If you ask the asshole car salesmen, he would say it was because of all the blacks and Mexicans. Which I am neither. So there lies my dilemma. The life of a happy and excited, yet lonesome democrat. Yay!

2. I think Obama supporters are just quieter than the teabagger types.
Republicans are very good at empowering their followers to speak out, and they do, loudly and frequently. Add to that all the right-wing radio and Fox news giving them specific talking points day in and day out and it's easy to sometimes feel as if everyone is a rightwinger.
You said you have around 200 Facebook friends but only mentioned a handful who said negative things about Obama. There's a very good chance that some of the silent ones also like Obama but keep quiet because they also feel like they are in the minority.
I read a blog from a guy who is a moderate and posts mostly non-political posts. When he occasionally mentions anything political, he immediately gets a bunch of comments about how horrible Obama is, how he's ruining America, etc. I use to get depressed reading it and thought I was the only one from his group of readers who likes Obama. One day, after reading a bunch of "Obama sucks" posts I decided to speak up. I didn't rant, I just said I liked Obama and thought he was doing a pretty good job considering what he had faced. Then, I mentioned a few thing he had done that I liked. The response shocked me. Suddenly others were commenting that they liked him, too. It was like a damn burst. I guess no one wanted to be the first person to defend him and just assumed that they were the only one who felt that way.
Millions of people voted for Obama. In the reddest of red counties, there are still thousands of people who voted for him. Republicans encourage their supporters to be loud and obnoxious because they know that works to make the rest of us shut up. Don't be afraid to speak up! You're not alone, they just want to make you think that you are.

4. Thanks for the words of encouragement.
After surviving an arduous year of campaigning of constant lies and bullying ,we manage to come out the other side victorious. There were so many times I would have that sick feeling we would lose our president to that bobble-head Romney. In my small county of 50,000 or so, I didn't see much if any support for Obama in the form of bumper stickers, yard signs, or in the newspaper. I wanted to show my support, but was fearful of vandalism. I'd like to think we are a more civilized and caring party. I honestly wanted to rub it in their faces though. You are probably right about others that support Obama, but just choose to keep their opinions to themselves. It's hard to see it from that perspective when you are in the box looking out. Thanks again Pamela.

5. I probably don't speak up as often as I should either
The few times I have I've gotten much less flak than I thought I would. When people are bitching about Obama-care (aka Affordable Care Act) I ask if they don't think it's a good idea to be able to keep their kids on insurance until age 26, most of the time their answer is "well, I like that part of it". Then when asked if it's a good thing that insurance companies can no longer refuse coverage based on preexisting conditions, it's more of "yes, but.....". And when pressed for what they don't like about the Affordable Care Act the only thing they ever come up with is that nobody should be forced to buy health insurance (and of course the answer to that is to follow the European and Canadian models of healthcare, which of course end up costing less than our bloated healthcare system.
I think that, at least in this part of the country, repubs have been so vocal and hateful for so long that anyone is afraid to speak up and disagree with them.

Farm & Ranch Days: Risk management strategies necessary to survive and profit in Ag
By Ernie Over, managing editor, county10.com
Part Two in a series on drought management issues
(Riverton, Wyo.) – Agriculture producers could also be known as risk management specialists where rarely is there found a "normal" year. Fortunately, a University of Wyoming Farm and Ranch Management Educator said a growing number of tools are available to assist the Ag industry with recognizing and coping with the risks.
John Hewlett of Laramie said the drought experienced this past year resulted in livestock numbers being reduced early as producers culled and reduced herd numbers. "It will be very interesting to see how this coming spring unfolds to see what we'll do with livestock and crop management," he said during Thursday's Fremont County Farm and Ranch Days in Riverton.
So, what are the risks?
"There are five main sources of risk in Agriculture, including price fluctuation and marketing changes, crop and livestock yields, governmental regulations and contractual obligations, and management of human resources such as hired hands and other employees. Those four risk areas all contribute to the biggest risk, which he said is financial and making a profit and paying off operating loans.
Because of the unknown at the start of each season, costs of those risks are hard to calculate. In terms of drought risk, producers face lower forage production and lower weight gain per animal, which both relate into a loss of income, Hewlett said.
"Add to those risks weather events and price levels and you get worry, doubt, fear, miscalculation of resources and an unsettled feeling," Hewlett said. "With a potential for gain or loss also comes moral or ethical implications.
But all is not lost, he said, and he laid out a variety of on line and other tools that can help produce strategies to deal with the risks.
At the extreme ends of the strategies are avoiding risk altogether, or accepting it. But he said most producers would choose the middle ground, taking actions to reduce their risks through managing the impacts, transferring the risk to such tools as crop or livestock insurance, or using custom operators to perform some operations. He said producers could also increase their capacity to survive by moving to such solutions as using irrigated rather than dry land forage or grazing, or increasing acreages.
"The goal is to try to limit the negative returns," he said, through use of the middle strategies an development of budgets and analytical tools. "For example, if a producer was to use irrigated forage rather than dry land, that decision comes at a higher front end cost, but it results in earning the average at the end of the season. The same is true of insurance, the trade off is the up front premium."
He also said producers could make small changes, such as buying hay instead of grazing, and not using as much fertilizer. Larger changes could include selling calves earlier to gain more forage for the next year or a substantial change could be acquiring more land or an additional farm.
Hewlett had a table full of handouts and compact digital disks on a variety of risk management topics, which are available at any UW Extension office, or on-line.

Dropping caches is just going to cause unnecessary disk reads when you eventually try to re-read what were cached sectors, hurting performance. What, exactly, caused you to think it made something better? Might it have coincided with the completion of sync? By the way, what have you got for drives and controllers, and how are they arranged? One last tip: when your restore is complete, you might want to run VACUUM FREEZE ANALYZE in the database. Otherwise you will be rewriting rows to set hint bits as you read them, and at some point in the future PostgreSQL will start a VACUUM of all still-existent tuples from the load in order to FREEZE them before transaction ID wraparound. -Kevin

'Let's see your pussy, take those panties off,' Diana said after she'd had a good long suck of Angel's succulent teats. Angel obeyed and slipped the wet knickers off. 'Let me sniff them,' Diana said shockingly to the curvy naked girl in front of her. Angel handed them to her and Diana breathed in hard, her cute upturned nose embedded in the soaking fabric...
* * * * * * *
Angel was 18. She lived in a small provincial town. It was fairly quiet and little happened of interest, apart from the occasional visits she and her teenage friends made to the big city. They went to rock n roll gigs and raved about obscure punk bands to each other, when they got back home.
Well, there was another thing that interested Angel in that small provincial town.
It was Kim's mom.
Kim's mom Diana was a beautiful, cool, and sexy, brunette, aged forty. She looked about thirty, Angel thought, always feeling warm in her cunt whenever Kim's mom was in her presence. She loved the way Diana smiled, her perfect white teeth so even and sexy revealing little flashes of pink gums above them that Angle wanted to run her randy tongue over. Diana had pointy breasts that she knew would just fill her small hands, and, she imagined, huge nipples that would pop up immediately under her touch.
'Your mom is just so cool,' Angel told Kim one day in a coffee place they used to hang at.
'They were fucking last night, it was gross!' Kim said; a look on her face as if she had just digested a worm.
'Is your mom noisy,' Angel asked, eager for any info about Diana's sex life, the woman she so secretly desired.
'Fuck yeah, she always is,' Kim told her. 'I think my mom is a nympho, truly. She was moaning out all this shit, "Put in John, oh yeah, that's it, in deep honey, in deep, oh yeah, Mm, Mm..." It went on for about half a fuckin' hour. I had to get my I-pod out and listen to some stuff until they'd done with each other.'
'What's wrong with being highly-sexed' Angel asked.
'Nothin' as long as I ain't there listening to it in the next room!' Kim joked. They both cracked up.
Later that week, on a Friday, Angel visited Kim's house and she sat in the kitchen talking with the irresistible MILF Diana, over coffee. 'So how are things with you Angel, your mom and dad okay' she asked. Angel stared at her cute face. She even made the trivial seem magical. 'Oh yeah,' Angel said dreamily, 'they are fine, thanks.' The next remark stunned Angel. 'You are a pretty girl, Angel, d'you know that' Diana said, out of nowhere. The room suddenly became very hot. 'Ya think so' Angel said with a smile. 'Sure,' Diana said, '...that short black hair suits you and you have very nice eyes and a kissable mouth. I bet all the boys wanna kiss you and seduce you, am I right'
'I get some of them coming onto me, yeah,' Angel said, 'but I just tell them to get lost.'
'You don't like boys'
'I do, but I prefer girls,' Angel said.
Diana wasn't thrown by her remark. On the contrary, she smiled and said. 'I've had a few lesbian scenes in my time. ya know,' she mentioned. The way she said "lesbian" just sounded so horny to Angel. 'Really' Angel asked. Diana smiled. 'Oh yeah, a few, women are more sensual and considerate lovers than men are, I think. But I must say I do love a nice hard cock, too. I need a male thrust in my pussy at least a couple of times a week.' Angel's cunt was leaking into her knickers at the lewdness of Diana's words. She could feel its wetness seeping out. She stared at Diana, stunned by her frankness. 'Oh my goodness,' Diana said with a little laugh, 'I haven't shocked you, have I, Angel, with my loose talk'
'No, no, not at all Diana, dirty talk sounds cool coming from your mouth. Very horny in fact,' Angel said. Then, she blushed. She could hardly believe she'd said that to Kim's mom.
'You think so' Diana said, smiling.
'Yeah, it's way cool, actually.'
Diana smiled that sexy smile again and she said out of the blue: 'Are we attracted to each other, d'ya think' She stared into Angel's big brown eyes. Angel felt compelled by a wonderful liberating power that suddenly came over her and she said, 'Yes we are, Diana. I'm burning up for you, can't you tell'
'Yes, I felt something just now. You sweet girl, come here,' Diana said. Her mouth met Angel's as they stood and embraced, their hands smoothing over their backs and asses. The kiss went on for ages and Angel's pussy was literally pumping out Cupid's Juice into her knickers as she reveled in the clean taste of Diana's sexy mouth. 'This is so wrong,' Diana said after the long wet kiss, 'but I'm just so horny for you now, we just have to do it.' She led Angel by her hand, upstairs to her bedroom. Angel went along passively, feeling as if she was in a dream she didn't want to wake up from.
'What about Kim' Angel asked.
'They are out, she's with her dad at the movies. They won't be back until late. We have plenty of time. Take your clothes off, I want you naked.' Diana said, unbuttoning Angle's deli-waitress white and red uniform. It fell away and Diana held Angel close and cupped her large breasts through her black under-wired bra. 'Mm, I love a busty girl. Get them out for me,' Diana said, taking charge now. Angel fumbled with the clasp. 'Let me,' Diana said and undid it. The bra fell away and Diana stepped back. 'Wow! They are a nice BIG pair,' she said. She sat on the edge of the bed and had Angel stand in front of her. 'I like the way they hang, so ripe, so ready,' Diana said as she ran her fingers slowly over the tips and upper slopes of Angel's D-cup breasts. Both brown nipples stood to attention under Diana's touch.
'Mmm...they are very sensitive, like mine,' she said, before sucking each one several times. Angel stroked her shoulder length shiny brown hair as she did it and she leaned back and sighed out loud as a vivid sexual warmth ran through her nipples on a one-way-track to her cunt.
'Let's see your pussy, take those panties off,' Diana said after she'd had a good long suck of Angel's succulent teats. Angel obeyed and slipped the wet knickers off. 'Let me sniff them,' Diana said shockingly to the curvy naked girl in front of her. Angel handed them to her and Diana breathed in hard, her cute upturned nose embedded in the soaking fabric. What she did next caused Angel to exclaim:
'Fuck, that's so dirty!'
Diana sucked the soaking patch on the gusset of Angel's panties, sucked it and then squeezed the fabric in both hands, wringing out the juice above her beautiful wide open mouth. Angel touched her pussy as she watched the horny MILF swallow her dripping juice.
'Oh my God, you are so amazing, Diana,' she said, really meaning it.
'I'm a shameless bitch. I'll teach you to be like that too, if you'll let me,' she said.
'That would be way cool, way cool,' Angel said as Diana pulled her onto the bed. The pair locked legs and arms in a passionate embrace with fingers and tongues exploring their bodies. Diana's fingers were soon in Angel's trimmed cunt, jabbing up against the g-spot as she probed Angel's mouth with her lips and tongue.
'Lay there,' she said after a while of hot foreplay.
She stood up and removed the sexy black dress she had on and unclasped the black lace bra beneath it and let it fall. Her tits were exactly as Angel had imagined them, slightly hanging and nicely swollen with large brown areolas and kissable pointed nipples that protruded like signposts saying, 'Pinch me and suck me!'
Diana smiled and asked, 'You like my body' as she slipped her black lace panties off and stood over Angel totally naked. The girl was toying with her clit and fondling her left nipple whilst watching the impromptu striptease. 'Mm, you are so fuckin' hot, Diana,' she said, meaning it. 'Thank you, darling, so are you,' Diana said and climbed on the bed next to her. They kissed again, slower this time, their tongues gently licking, but with a lot of nipple and cunt action going on with their fingers, many sighs and gasps and little female cat-cries accompanying the action as they worked each other up.
Diana got up, panting and flushed in the face after a few moments, and went to her bedside cabinet and brought out a small black case. 'My magic box,' she said with a laugh. She sat on the edge of the bed and opened it and showed Angel the contents. 'Wow! So many sex toys,' she said, looking down at the many vibrators, butt-plugs, anal beads, electric love balls and nipple clasps in the box. 'I like this one for my cunt and this one for my asshole,' Diana said calmly as she got two sex toys out of the box. She handed the thinner one to Angel who held it and looked at its blue beaded rubber stem, obviously meant for anal play. Diana got some lube from a dispenser and let it flow over her fingers then she jabbed them up into her little furrowed asshole. Angel watched carefully, the way Diana's sensual pink lips parted so sexily as the anal stimulation flooded over her. Then, without a word, she inserted the beaded dildo into her anus. The tip went in easily and with lube oozing out around it, the rest of the toy disappeared inside.
'Use it on me, while I play with my cunt,' Diana said, a begging almost pleading tone in her soft sexy voice.
Angel twisted and turned and extracted the anal toy as Diana kissed her and played with her breasts. As she got more worked up, her fingers entered Angel's cunt again and this time they stayed there until she decided to change positions a few minutes later. 'Get in a 69, honey, sit on my face and lick me as I lick you, you okay with that' Diana said. Angel laughed and said, 'You bet I am,' and she hurried into position, her big curvy ass soon over Diana's pretty MILF face. When the older woman's mouth first kissed her cunt she almost climaxed then and there. The warm wet waves of pleasure that flooded over her were different from the few bisexual girls of her own age she had slept with and who had clumsily licked her pussy. Diana's wanton lips and tongue stimulated areas in Angel's cunt she'd never knew existed before that evening. She bent low, letting her big breasts pancake out against Diana's belly and she gratefully lapped the older woman's thick brown-edged love lips, chewing on them like succulent bacon, rolling the edges around in her mouth and savouring the sweet oyster sauce that seeped out of the inner slit in a continuous stream.
Kim was right, her mom was a nympho.
Angel licked between Diana's inner labia, parting them with her tongue, all the while keeping up a slow sensual prodding of the anal toy embedded deep in Diana's rectum. She sniffed its slimy rubber beads and licked them, half expecting to see them turn brown anytime soon. She wondered what she would do if that occurred It didn't happen.
With four fingers in Angel's soaking cunt and Angel's mouth glued to her older lover's muff, the pair of them climaxed, first Diana, and then Angel. The noise of their orgasms and the filthy talk during it was breathtaking. Angel could hardly believe that the beautiful demure film-star mom she'd known for years was a dirty street whore under the veneer of convention. 'Push the shit back up my ass!' was one of the milder things she said during her climax.
Kim was right. Her mom was a nympho.
'Ever been pissed on' Diana whispered to Angel after they'd cum and rested for a while in each other's arms, on the bed. Angel wasn't shocked or horrified. She relished Kim's mom being dirty with her now. 'No I haven't been pissed on, but I do like the idea. Do you wanna piss on me' Angel asked, her submissive tendencies showing through. Angel imagined kneeling before Diana's beautiful pissing cunt. There was a little silence. Angel asked, 'Do you want to piss on me, Diana. I'd love you to, I really would.'
'Yeah, I will piss on you,' Diana said, 'I love wet sex. I piss on my husband John, regularly, well...when Kim's not around. He whacks-off as I do it, makes him shoot his load real fast. I love doing it. I'm quite Dominant sexually, I've found.'
'Mm, I can see that, you are much kinkier than I thought you'd be, Diana.'
'Is that a good thing'
'Fuck yeah! I've wanted you for years, since I was about twelve, actually. I fancied you even then.'
'Is that true' Diana said. 'How exciting it is to be desired by such a sexy passionate girl.'
'Wow! You think I'm sexy, really I'm just a kid.'
'Sure, but you're a natural slut, like me, enjoy it.'
'Kim thinks you're a nympho.'
Diana laughed. 'That girl, she's such a prude.'
'She's not like her mom, that's for sure.'
Diana looked at Angel and held her face in both hands and said seriously, 'I should have asked. You and Kim, you are not... lovers, are you'
'No way, just friends, good friends. Why'
'I couldn't have my daughter's lover as my lover, that's all. It's the only taboo I have, Angel.'
'That's cool. You have nothing to fear in that area from Kim and me, Diana.'
'Then we must get on with our slut lesson. Are you ready to open new doors onto your sexuality'
'I guess I am.'
'Then follow me to the bathroom, my hot little slut.'
We leaved this story with the tinkling sound of a warm golden shower landing on Angel's face and body with the gorgeous nympho Diana, emptying her bladder over her willing new sex slave...

BEDFORD'S Islamic community has been left 'devastated' by attacks on two Queens Park mosques on Saturday.
Burglars raided the Jamia Masid Hafia Ghousia Mosque in Ford End Road and the Gulshan-e-Baghdad Mosque in Westbourne Road causing thousands of pounds worth of damage and stealing items including CCTV equipment.
Saturday's events meant that Jamia Masid Hafia Ghousia Mosque had been burgled twice that week.
Around £2,500 worth of damage to doors and equipement has been calculated at Gulshan-e-Baghdad Mosque, but chairman Tariq Hussain claimed that the very fact that someone broke in is the most upsetting.
He said: "If I could speak to the person really I would like them to realise that material things you can replace, but the community are devastated and upset that people can rob places of worship.
"But if that person wanted any help they can come and see us."
He added: "It's really, really upsetting that people could do that to a place of worship. I don't think it's racist, I think it's just a burglar doing his job. I don't think it can be a local person because we are a very close community."
Police scene of crime officers attended both of the properties and an investigation is currently ongoing.
Mr Hussain added: "We don't keep any money on the property so the damage is mainly broken doors and locks.
"The kids were devastated because the mosque is somewhere you can go and forget the world and feel safe."
Councillor Mohammad Yasin, who represents the Queens Park Ward also called on the police to take serious action to stop the events happening again.
He said: "This is a very worrying situation. People are really upset and frightened and are feeling very unsafe. "This is a time when the police should take a swift action to tackle these crimes."

Reviews forBacon Mac & Cheese
My Review
Average Rating
"Very very good, did as recipe called for except added less Jalape?o. Everyone loved it."
"By far the best mac n cheese I've ever made and i'm a mac n cheese snobb. The only things I did different was add more jalapeno and one habanero (I like it really spicy) and I ommitted the green onion (simply because I didn't have any) and the recipe came out to die for. I will definitely be making this again soon!"
"for added color add some broccoli. Good way to sneak it in under the kids nose"
"Very good. Added panko topping"
"My family gives this one a big thumbs up! The bacon really brings it a step up. Great side dish for any meat. JudyLA"
"Attn: luvmac -- when you buy shredded cheese if you look at the bags - an 8 oz bag = 2 cups."
"I am confused on the amount of cheese. The recipe keeps saying add 1 cup (4 ounces) for the cheeses, BUT, a cup is 8 ounces. Is it supposed to be 4 ounces of each cheese, or 8 ounces???"
"Ridiculously easy and a crowd pleaser!"
"This is the perfect mac and cheese recipe. I used half velveeta and half cream cheese and this worked very well. I made this with pork chops and the mac and cheese was eaten first. There was nothing left after the meal which made me happy:)"
"It was delicious even though I didn't use Velveeta. We are not big Velveeta fans so I used cream cheese in its place. It worked great!"

357th Fighter Group Profile
Pregnant Polecat P-51B
Capt Glendon Davis discusses maneuvers with "Little Red" Harris, 364th FS, 7 1/2 Victories
Capt. Glendon V. Davis' P-51B Mustang "Pregnant Polecat"
Spring 1944
Modeler Tips:
Tail Number Error in these
decals. Tail Number should be 43-6867 or 36867
Side View Notes:
A. Rear red band on propeller boss extends onto spinner to leading edge of
blades when in neutral pitch. Determine width of yellow band by dividing
remainder of spinner evenly.
B. Mission marks- 5 bombs in first group, 4 each in remaining two groups. Note 2 diagonal brooms, denoting offensive fighter sweeps above first two bombs in first group. 2 smaller diagonal bombs appear at end of second group.
C. "Pregnant Polecat" in yellow, note position relative to lower strip panel & firewall.
D. Kill marks. Eight white swastikas. 5 in top row, 3 in bottom row. Note that the two swastikas forming the second column sit slightly higher than the others.
E. There were no antenna wires installed on 357th Mustangs.
F. Tail number in yellow, "36" on fin, "878" on rudder.
G. White recognition stripes were of standard widths on wings and horizontal stabilizers.
Upper & Lower View Notes:
G. Repeat of item "G" from Side View Notes. H, I, J. Red, Green, Yellow navigation lights- circular and flush with wing panel.
K. Formation Lights- Red (Port) and Green (Starboard)
Overall Modeling Tips:
*This aircraft wore dark olive green over USAAC medium gray. There were no antenna wires installed on this aircraft.
*Precious few decals have ever been produced for this aircraft, they are included on ProModeler #5931. If you want to try from scratch there are a couple of different ways to do it. If you're like me and only use freehand as a last resort, you may want to try making masks for the letters. Using a copier machine to adjust for size, reproduce a printout of the letters provided in the diagram, separate them and use a thin layer of white glue
to paste them to a fine rag piece of paper. Roll out the excess glue with a dowel. Cut the letters out with a very sharp hobby knife. After you are satisfied with the stencils you've made, apply a tiny amount of rubber cement
to their backs and lay them in along the panel seam (don't forget to tilt'm!) Mask off the surrounding area and airbrush in the white letters, let dry, pull stencils away, remove any excess rubber cement film and Presto!
*Prior to assembly, wash clear plastic parts with a mild glass cleaner and gently wipe dry. Then use a Q-Tip to evenly spread clear liquid floor wax (Future Brand seems to get the best results) on both inside & outside.
Protect from dust and let dry for at least 2 hours. The wax fills in microscopic flaws and creates an even gloss that is clearer & shines brighter than the original plastic underneath.

Ash Borer: Bloodlands
17 Mar 2013 // 6:03 PM
For any black metal to be effective it needs to meet two simple artistic requirements: create a credible atmosphere and convey the ill-tempered emotion therein. Ash Borer doesn't simply communicate those elements; it enshrouds the listener in them.
Ash Borer: Cold of Ages
8 Oct 2012 // 6:03 PM
Whether Cold of Ages reflects the repeated patterns of nature and life, a nihilistic devotion to demolition, or rebirth from the ashes has been left open to interpretation. What is very clear, however, is that it is a hugely important album for the US black metal scene.

This is interesting because people often assumed that a language like Java--virtual-machine based, reliant on garbage collection, etc.--can't be used to develop real-time applications, such as flight simulators. Real-time Java shows that with the right backseat driving from the application--using extensions which define events and the time limits within which each event must complete--such programming is possible, even in Java.

End of Spring break
It has been spring break. I cannot believe how fast it has come to the end. For fashion design students, spring break is usually not a time for fun and relaxation but still-working-crazy time. I tried to catch up on my life a little during spring break – for example, my parents have been very annoyed that they haven't seen me in months since they only live in Brooklyn. I finally saw them during spring break. I also tried to clean up my apartment since it has become quite messy during the semester. However, I still had quite a large amount of school work so even though I never rested during spring break, I didn't get a chance to do everything I wanted to do at all.
Tomorrow is also one of the big days of the semester because we are setting up our garments to be judged on Tuesday so you will hear from me on Tuesday whether or not we got into the show. I hope you are keeping your fingers crossed for me!

It is time for Skidmore to actively address issues of race and implement effective diversity and inclusion initiatives on campus.
The I, Too, Am Skidmore" campaign, inspired by campaigns at Harvard University, The University of Oxford, Cambridge University, Iowa, and NYU is dedicated to sharing the stories of people of color who have experienced micro-aggressions on college campuses due to the color of their skin. We invited students, staff, and faculty of color to write about their experiences as a person of color here at Skidmore College, micro-aggressions they have heard or personally encountered, and any other statements they wanted to make to the larger White Skidmore community on a whiteboard; and then take a picture with their statement. Our goal for this campaign was to empower the community of color here at Skidmore, and to provide more visibility for the community of color and the issues they face here on Skidmore's campus. We also focused on uniting our community of color and reassuring each other that we are not alone in our struggles, nor our frustrations.
As people of color our voices and experiences are all too often silenced. Our presence here is questioned. This campaign centers our voices and sheds light on our myriad experiences on Skidmore's predominantly white campus. We are here. Our voices matter. We, too, are Skidmore.
As members of the Skidmore community we believe it is time for Skidmore to begin seriously addressing issues of race on our campus. It is time for Skidmore to listen to the voices of its students and implement some significant changes in terms of the academic content available, services and resources available to students of color, and overall campus climate.
We demand that Skidmore invest in an Ethnic Studies Department that focuses on the transnational experiences, cultures, histories of colonized and exploited groups around the world including, but not limited to African American, Caribbean American, Arab American, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian Pacific American courses. We demand that the courses in this department be taught by faculty of color.
We demand that Skidmore establishes required courses for all students focusing on racial micro-aggressions, race, and ethnicity. Again, we demand that Skidmore hire faculty of color to teach these courses.
We demand that Skidmore build a physical Multicultural Center here on campus that would offer services, support, and resources for students of color, including academic advising, study spaces, clubspaces, mentors and counselors of color.
We demand that Skidmore hosts dialogues and workshops for all students, faculty, and staff focusing on micro-aggressions on Skidmore's campus twice a semester.
We demand that Skidmore create a First Year Seminar and Pre-Orientation group focused on race relations and diversity.
We demand that the panel assembled to talk with prospective students of color during Discovery Tour more explicitly address campus climate and race relations.
We demand that Skidmore publicly respond to our demands in the form of a press release and in the Skidmore Scope newsletter. We are holding you accountable.
To show Skidmore that we as a community want to see a change happen, please sign your name and class year.

In Japan, Physical Abuse Turns High School Basketball Into Tragedy
If basketball had been fun, it wasn't anymore for a schoolboy subjected to repeated physical beatings by his coach.
On Dec. 22, the 17-year-old captain of the Sakuranomiya High School basketball club team in Osaka came home from a practice scrimmage with dark thoughts. His mother later told city education officials that his lip was cut and his cheeks swollen. He told her that his club adviser had again punched him — about 30 to 40 times. The next morning the teenager was found dead. He had hung himself with a necktie.
This is the picture built up from comments by Osaka education officials and media reports of the buildup to the student's suicide, which has caused a national stir in Japan. Earlier this week the Osaka City Board of Education said the teenager had written a letter a few days before his death describing physical abuse at school.

I'm looking for a venue for my not-for-profit agency Christmas party. There will be about 60 people and we need to limit the cost to about 30/person. We are located in SoHo but can travel anywhere in the city.
Staff taste runs the spectrum from Vegetarian to General Tso's to Per Se. Although I hate to say it, I think quantity is more important than quality for this diverse group. We'd like a fun venue .. maybe a bar with a pool table?
Suggestions welcome....

MELBOURNE researchers have unlocked the workings of one of the major genes responsible for healthy brain function, which will steer their hunt for ways to repair genetic mutations causing intellectual disabilities in children.
One of the main ways intellectual disability occurs is through genetic mutations, which hamper normal brain development in the womb.
But Dr Julian Heng, a lead researcher from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute at Monash University, said they had found that the gene, TUBB5, was vital for the connective wiring between brain cells.
He said the research, published on Wednesday in the journal Human Molecular Genetics would give a better understanding of the causes and treatments for intellectual disabilities and developmental disorders such as autism.
"We experimentally switched off this gene, and found there were fewer connections and neurons in the brain," Dr Heng said.
"It would appear it's absolutely important for the brain cells to have this gene working properly to make connections with other brain cells. One day, we might be able to make particular kinds of brain cells to replace lost tissue after disease or injury, which we can transplant into the brain and encourage to form connections with existing brain cells."
Dr Heng, with colleagues in Austria, discovered the existence of the gene in 2012, after finding that children with the neurodevelopmental disorder microcephaly — in which the skull and brain don't grow to normal size — had mutations of this gene.
He said they had since found that TUBB5 belonged to a family of proteins that acted as the "scaffold" inside neurons, helping them create the right shape to join with other neurons to communicate.
"If there are too many or too few connections, this can affect the way brain cells connect and carry out a particular activity," he said.

Jamie S. Rich launching interview webseries 'From the Gutters'
Despite the solitary nature of creating comics (or perhaps because of it), it's very easy for writers and artists to become fast friends with one another — be it at conventions, in-store signings or even just online. Over the years editor-turned-writer Jamie S. Rich has accumulated countless friends and connections in the industry through his time at Dark Horse, Oni Press, writing books like 12 Reasons Why I Love Her and living in the comics mecca of Portland, Oregon. And after moderating numerous panels at conventions and even hosting his own "Evening with Jamie S. Rich" movie night at a Portland theater, the writer is taking things even further with a new comics interview webseries called From the Gutters.
"My friend and collaborator Joëlle Jones had been joking for a while that I needed to do a podcast or some kind of history about comic-book creators," Rich said in a statement. "It was kind of a no-brainer when Ryan [McClusky] and Martin [Vavra] approached me. I had grown tired of the treadmill of comics press. It's all too often a hype machine: Promote this one book that you're doing right now. It got so impersonal — most interviewers wouldn't even ask me how my day was going. At the same time, most readers and curious laymen I'd run into had very little idea of how a comic book was made. From the Gutters was a chance to change that."
Launching Oct. 4 on YouTube, From the Gutters will feature in-depth video interviews with comics pros as varied as Mike Allred, Becky Cloonan, Matt Wagner, Bob Schreck, Eric Stephenson, Ming Doyle, Michael Avon Oeming, Ted Naifeh and Dave Stewart. According to Rich, the show will go into detail about the inspirations for each creator as well as showcasing the art process each goes through.
Attendees of Rose City Comic Con, held Sept. 21-22 in Portland, are promised a sneak peek at the show.

I went in for a consultation and the girl who did it was great and made me feel very comfortable. The doctor really didnt go into anything or say where he would do incisions or even give me an expectation. I'm not obese but I do have some trouble spots I'm ready to get rid of. I want to make sure before pouring 6k into this, that it meets the expectations of the clients that have used this company. I've heard that they don't care, or meet the expectations you were given. Any insight or suggestions???

Braddock Metro Neighborhood Plan
The City of Alexandria, Virginia recently completed plans to redevelop an area of obsolete industrial and public housing sites surrounding the Braddock Metro Station and adjacent to an historic neighborhood. KAI as part of a consultant team led by Goody Clancy, of Boston, Massachusetts prepared educational information, analysis, guidelines, standards, strategies, and policies to help inform public opinion, shape redevelopment and achieve a vibrant, walkable community and increased non-auto mode share. Our work included presentations and written materials as part of an intensive community-based process. This work helped to: explain potential traffic impacts of alternative development scenarios, propose mitigating transportation demand management alternatives, propose transit- appropriate parking ratios and management techniques, provide an understanding of the role and opportunities of existing and changes in transit service, and recommend circulation and intersection improvements for bicycle, pedestrian mobility.

SAMBA problem rebuilding server How to configure SAMBA share with writing - Win
I try to rebuild the Linux server CentoOS 6.2 with SAMBA, for the use of SAWMILL, and here is my problem:
I have installed the SAMBA server and create specific user for the purpose user logarchive and change the ownership of the directory / logarchive
As I am not very familiar with SAMBA I have done the configuration in the following way very lame way, I must say
1) copy the SAMBA config file from old server to the new one one file: /etc/samba/smb.conf
2) copy two files from old server to the new one - /var/lib/samba/private/*.*
At this point, I have tried to mount the drive under Windows, using the following command:
net use L: \\<IP ADDRESS>\logarchive aqqaqq /user:logarchive\logarchive
but I got the following error message:
Windows title: Location is not available
L:\ is not accessible.
Access is denied.
Although, I can see the free space and the total capacity of the disk, however I cannot see the files or browse through the directories...
Question: What else needs to be done, in order to copy files from Windows to this SAMBA share? I need to get some writing permission, but where? Which file is responsible for that?
This is not a problem with Windows, as this was perfectly fine with previous SAMBA server.
Could you recommend a good book about SAMBA for this kind of exercise/job/task?
Or any good book about SAMBA, from beginning to let say, intermediate level.
It sounds like SELinux is enforce and your files are not in the samba context. If so run.
chcon -tR samba_share_t /path/to/samba/share
There's loads of docs at the samba home site here https://www.samba.org/; try also chap 28 http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/...x_6_Essentials
Many thanks for your help on this one.
I start with command like:
testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf
setsebool -P samba_export_all_rw on
chcon -tR samba_share_t /path/to/samba/share
chcon: cannot access `samba_share_t': No such file or directory
This article here has a couple of interesting points about the SAMBA and SELinux...
Also this thread is helpful on this occasion
Many thanks for helping me out on that occasion....
I will mark this as solved - but maybe we can find a reason why I get this error with the command which user Sydney was kind to post.
Any suggestions?
chcon -tR samba_share_t /path/to/samba/share
chcon -t samba_share_t -R /mnt/sawmill/logarchive/
Hope that helps a bit....
Have a wonderful day...
Incidentally, chcon does not survive a reboot, so

[SaM] Break it Down
Day 1,349, 20:05 • Published in Egypt • by
abdullah australi
The publication Sawt al Muqawamah (voice of the resistance) has disbanded operations in UAE and shall henceforth be published in Egypt, and will shortly be renamed.
Some readers may wonder why this was published in the new players section, well mainly because [SaM] cares about the young players, and aims to help them understand what's happening in their eNation and eWorld in general.
At this present time it's easy to be lost for words about what to tell the young'uns, what does one say that won't demoralise them and cause them to never login again? How about the facts of the present situation and our hope for the future?
Break it down
Upon examining the map we find little pictures of fruit, cattle, oil and metal, these are resources, every region has a unique resource, the more variety of resources a nation controls the more bonus to productivity they get and thus the more their military-industrial complexes will prosper, their taxes, national treasury and so on. That is how the eWorld goes around, people constantly fight for resources to fight for more and so on. One could reasonably conclude that is why Egypt is occupied, easy pickings so to speak.
Going back to the map, we see Northern Egypt is occupied by our northern neighbours Cyprus, and Cyprus is governed by a well organised turkish group called 'INCI', and rightly so. [SaM] doesn't find that too objectionable, in fact that gives eEgypt the benefit of a buffer from the rest of Europe, like they're our big brothers, if a bully wants to smash you they must get through him first!
The rest of eEgypt is occupied by Macedonia aka FYROM, a small nation state in the Balkans, in real life anyway, in eRepublik they have a disproportionate amount of players and they are now a 'superpower'. Macedonia has three 'home' regions in the Balkans and 4 regions in Egypt, they have made their capital on the red sea coast in order to benefit from the extra regions productivity.
In eRepublik there are two main ways to get out of this situation: Fight, or Deal. Fighting needs money, and money comes from either a big national economy, or the peoples credit cards, eEgypt does not have either of the amount needed to take on a superpower. Which leaves the other common option, which whilst humiliating is probably the only way to get at least some of our regions back in the short term, so this is what we anticipate the government is working towards at the moment.
Editors Message to Fellow eEgyptians
Greetings everyone, I am Abdullah australi, a migrant to eEgypt and formerly of the eUAE resistance.
I came here to help, thinking that this place was pretty well sorted, and all I had to do was help the youth. Well it seems over the last few days everyone's dirty laundry is being hung out, frankly the behind the scenes dealings disgust me.
I originally wrote a very damning article, but decided that in the spirit of reconciliation I would leave it and keep it simple.
Sawt al Muqawamah is open to accepting quality articles, advice and especially pictures submitted by fellow citizens and friends, forward any such material to [SaM] chief editor abdullah australi
Also if anyone fluent in arabic would like to translate articles then please make yourself known to us.

Research shows that cold-water swimmers have fewer colds and lower rates of depression. In one study, people immersed in cold water for an hour three times a week showed an increase in white blood cells, which are linked with immunity. Czech researchers say cold water is a mild stressor and activates the immune system.
Cold-water swimming also burns extra calories as the body uses energy to keep warm. And it can boost feel-good hormones, as the "pain" of cold water results in an endorphin rush.

When MTV Base launched its VJ search for South Africa, Nomuzi Mabena was the winner.
Now it is Nigeria's turn to find someone to join Cynthia Okpala, the first Nigerian MTV VJ.
We caught up with Tim Horwood, MTV Base Africa's creative director, who shed some light on how things were going with the search.
"Cynthia's been an amazing VJ for us and we will still be working with her in the future, but we felt this was the perfect time to add some new, fresh flavour to the channel," he said.
With people such as Big Brother presenter IK, G.O.O.D Music's D'banj and rapper Mochedda all hailing from Nigeria, it is clear that the country has talent.
"Nigeria is such a key market for us and over the past seven years we have been passionate about exposing different genres of African music to countries both on the continent and around the world.
"With the incredible popularity that Nigerian music and culture is experiencing globally and across the continent, we thought it would be fitting to have a new face to represent this new wave of music and youth culture coming out of Nigeria," said Horwood.
While everyone wants to work in TV, especially for a big brand like MTV, Horwood stipulated the criteria for the winners.
"The winner needs to encapsulate the spirit of a new 'reimagined Africa', they have to be entrenched in Nigerian music, digital and youth culture, but they need to be thoroughly familiar with the continent as a whole, as they'll be representing Nigeria and Africa globally," he explained.
"We are looking for someone with confidence, an ability to communicate well and a natural, individual flavour."
If there is one thing Nigerians have, it is confidence, so this one should be interesting.
The judges' panel comprises singer Banky W, actress Funke, media personality Toolz and Horwood.
"We wanted the judges to come from a variety of disciplines in the entertainment industry in Nigeria," said Horwood.
The winner of this search is in for a cool job, but will also walk away with other prizes.
"Being an MTV VJ is literally life changing. The position inevitably presents a huge number of opportunities in the entertainment and business industry, There are also some other rather large physical prizes too, but we are keeping that as a surprise for now," said Horwood.
• MTV Base VJ Search, Nigeria, (DStv channel 322), 7.30pm tomorrow.

Constrains in Real Estate Investments in Greece
It is generally considered that property is by far the largest store of wealth, and development economics suggests that property markets are the bedrock for economic development. Countries make efforts to promote national and international real estate investors and enterprises. Real estate markets are mainly organized by the State through institutional frameworks and practices. In this paper, we focus on the reasons for real estate market low transparency and effects on tourism investments in Greece through a systemic analysis of the property development process. National or international real estate investors encounter an unfamiliar environment in which they find themselves in a difficult position due to low real estate transparency. Specifically: - Absence of financial benchmarks; - Lack of historical or current market statistics; - Financial statements of listed vehicles that are neither detailed nor standardized according to International Accounting Standards; - Urban, regional and environmental planning procedures and codes that are not clear; - Situations where local assistance or under-the-table payments are required to navigate the investment/development/management process; - Lack of title insurance; - Environment in which government or public utilities change urban development status and regulations, introducing risk. Tourism is considered by the Greek State as the most promising economic sector of the country. Tourism Development Co., created in 1998, is a state-owned company that has undertaken to develop and revitalize the assets owned by the Hellenic Tourism Organization located in the most privileged sites of the country (large land plots for development, casinos, marinas, hotels, health clubs, etc.) by the mobilization both of international and national funds. Tourism Development Co, as a State-owned company, is a relevant case to study State transparency, real estate market transparency and international investors' attitudes and practices, through examining specific projects of property development and privatization.

Chiefs-Tigers in key game
Plant is not the only South Tampa high school football team with a huge game tonight. Its neighbors south of Gandy Boulevard, the Robinson Knights, have a big matchup as well. "This is the biggest game at Robinson in a whole bunch of years," Knights coach Mike DePue said of his team's big district game against the Jesuit Tigers. Some would even argue that Robinson's game is bigger, considering the stakes. Entering the season, the Knights and Tigers were expected to be among the front-runners for the Class 2A-District 5 title. Neither team has disappointed, with Robinson off to its first 3-0 start since 2000 and Jesuit winning three in a row after a season-opening loss to Lakeland Kathleen.DePue has heard the buzz, and he is hoping it leads to a packed house tonight at Jack Peters Field. "There's already an electricity in the air - the school, the community," DePue said this week. "We're hoping people come out of the woodwork for this one." Kicking is in his blood Freedom senior P/K Alex Landeta is asked frequently, and the answer is always yes. Alex is related to former NFL punter and five-time Pro Bowler Sean Landeta, who retired last year after 25 seasons in pro football. Sean played for the New York Giants from 1985-1992, winning two Super Bowls under Bill Parcells. "He's a distant cousin, my second cousin," he said. "People who know sports ask me." Alex also has a famous great-uncle in Braulio Alonso, who the high school in north Tampa is named after. Adam Adkins, Nick Williams
