Further study details as provided by Diana Fernandez, University of Rochester:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Proportion of women whose gestational gain is within the recommended gestational weight gain Institute of Medicine Guidelines in kilograms [ Time Frame: 40 weeks ]Gestational weight gain is the result of the last predelivery weight minus the prepregnancy weight (or early pregnancy weight).
- Postpartum weight retention in kg at 12 months postpartum [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ]The difference between the weight at 12 months postpartum and the pre-pregnancy weight (or early pregnancy weight. Participants will be followed for a maximum of 2 years from recruitment in early pregnancy to 18 months postpartum. The final outcome in the postpartum period is postpartum weight retention at 18 months. Interim measure of postpartum weight will be collected at 6 and 12 months for analyses. The primary hypothesis for the postpartum period is weight retention at 12 months postpartum.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Caloric Intake in Kilocalories [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Caloric intake will be calculated based on the average food intake assessed by 2 24-hour dietary recall.
- Physical activity as an average weekly energy expenditure (METS) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Physical activity during pregnancy is measured using the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire and during postpartum using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire.
- Postpartum weight retention at 18 months [ Time Frame: 2 years ]The difference between the weight at 18 months postpartum and the prepregnancy weight (or early pregnancy weight). Participants will be followed for a maximum of 2 years from recruitment in early pregnancy to 18 months postpartum. The final outcome in the postpartum period is postpartum weight retention at 18 months. Interim measure of postpartum weight will be collected at 6 and 12 months for analyses. The primary hypothesis for the postpartum period is weight retention at 12 months postpartum

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: electronic intervention group 2
(e-intervention 2) receives a behavioral intervention through a website during pregnancy and until 18 months postpartum
Behavioral: electronic intervention during pregnancy and postpartum
Electronically-mediated behavioral interventions to encourage women to gain an appropriate amount of weight during pregnancy and to follow a healthy lifestyle postpartum to minimize postpartum weight retention
Other Names:
Experimental: electronic intervention group 1
(e-intervention 1) receives a behavioral intervention through a website during pregnancy. During the postpartum period this arm receives the same non-weight-related information as the control arm
Behavioral: electronic intervention during pregnancy
Electronically-mediated behavioral interventions to encourage women to gain an appropriate amount of weight during pregnancy.
Other Names:
|Placebo Comparator: Control
Behavioral: Control
Control women will receive non-weight related content during both time periods at the project website.
Other Name: Control group
Detailed Description:
This study seeks to expand the understanding of how to slow the accumulation of weight in childbearing women. The intervention goals are to decrease the prevalence of excessive pregnancy weight gain and mean weight retention in the first 18 months postpartum in socio-economically and racially/ethnically diverse sample of 1,641 pregnant women. Women will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: Intervention Group 1 will receive the intervention program only during pregnancy (e-intervention 1). Intervention Group 2 will receive e-intervention 1 plus intervention for 18 months postpartum (e-intervention 2). Control women will receive non-weight related content during both time periods at the project website. The primary hypotheses for the randomized controlled trial are: H1: The proportion of women in Intervention Groups 1 and 2 who gain more weight in pregnancy than is recommended by the IOM will be 33% less than the proportion of the women in the Control Group who gain excessively and H2: The Control Group will have a higher mean weight retention at 12 months postpartum than Intervention Groups 1 and 2.

When was the last time Steve Guttenberg was in a movie . . . that was actually shown in the theatre?
No, I dont know either, but for those that havent watched last weeks episode of Survivor, its a question you might find more entertaining to ponder than watching the show.
As a kindness to Mark Burnett, I feel we should all totally embrace the That Sue, shes crazy, huh? theory hes tried to prove throughout the last two episodes.
Its just polite.
Day 16.
We begin at post Hatch Mogo Mogo.
Jerri- Hatch was trying to save himself, but I voted for him because Kathy told me too.
Unfortunately it appears, that after their stint in Australia, Jerri learned more from Amber than Amber did from Jerri.
She joins Shii Ann and Kathy in a communal bathing session, where tactics are discussed.
Insulted that Colby didnt tell her about the change of plan himself, Kathy voted Hatch off instead of Colby because she didnt want to upset Lex. Got that?
The show got worse, believe me.
Colby is the new Richard Hatch now, claims Jerri.
Cool, get em off cowboy.
Shii Ann, of course, realizes that Kathy has emerged as the tribes power-player.
As long as people dont realize that, then shes a great player.
She obviously means, people other than herself. By her calculations, she realized today, the rest should clue in by about day 36.
Over at Chapera, Rupert has decided to try and ease his bulky frame into the food provider role.
Tom watches Rupert construct a spear from leftovers from the Home Depot box.
Now, I thought Tom looked less than impressed to see Rupert as part of the tribe last week, but according to his confession, he likes him.
Chapera seems able to support two overweight, grizzly guys for the time being, particularly if one of them is catching fish.
Sue, meanwhile hacks maniacally at snails on the side of rocks nearby.
She refuses Rahbs offer of help. They shouldnt take them all anyway, she rationalizes, because then the other snails wouldnt know where to go.
According to Sue, snails have a designated rock to cling to and she alone has cracked their communication code.
Satisfied with her mornings haul, she prepares to take her leave from snail central.
She picks up her buff, where she has been storing her snails, only to see them fall out of the bottom, what with the buff being a tube and all.
Rahb is prepared to let Rupert stay as long as he continues to catch fish.
His confessionals are becoming more and more the heading for a fall variety.
Now, are we hearing all these comments from him because Burnett wants us to think he wont win because hes being cocky, or does it mean that because we think he wont win he actually does?
If you decide to ponder this question, then feel free to stop thinking about the Steve Guttenberg one.
Youll thank me for these petty diversions. They really do take your mind off the show.
We head back to the relative sanity of the Mogo camp, where Shii Ann has decided to confront Colby about his TC comments at lat night.
Were you talking about me last night? she enquires.
In short, Colbys answer is yes, but he does expand to say he has no respect for her UTR strategy.
She confesses that she has no respect for his strategy either, or his perfect teeth or Captain America, errr, boxer shorts.
The sum total of the exchange is that she and he are not allies, which they werent technically before the conversation anyway.
We head back to Chapera, where Alicia and Amber silently smile while Rupert discusses the tribe numbers at a possible merge.
Were just sitting back and observing, claims Alicia.
Way to take an active part in the game ladies.
While the rest of us might carry a lucky four-leafed clover, or put out bets on lucky 7, Sue is scouring the ground looking for a lucky coconut.
She selects one, shakes it ad as apparently a dull rattling is the sign of luckiness in coconuts, shes satisfied. (Madness, I tell you.)
The talk soon turns to whom the Mogos will have kicked off.
Sue thinks the winners dont deserve to be in the game.
Thats logical isnt it?
People who won the game have no right to be in an All Star version of the show.
Indeed, Sue, winners schminners. Bring back Ghandia, Mitchell and Debb I say.
She vows to give hugs to each of the Mogos if they have voted off Rich.
Day 17.
Back from the break we once again find ourselves at the Chapera camp.
The snail scraping, lucky coconut-determining, hug promising Sue of yesterday has been replaced by the mopey Sue we see before us today.
Why did he have to touch me? Why didnt he just walk by?
I dont know Sue.
While she makes her way down to a rock free, sandy section of the beach, Alicia and Amber discuss the situation.
She probably just wants to be alone, concludes Amber, even as Alicia is making her way down the beach to talk to her.
Being in Survivor makes your mind do crazy things, claims Amber in a confessional Burnett will likely ask to be bought into evidence as defense exhibit 20 or so from this show.
If she wasnt playing Survivor then the situation might not have been such a big deal, she continues.
Correct Amber. If youre ever confronted by a naked guy on a balance beam in real life, you can generally just laugh it off.
Its time to hear some male opinions of the situation though.
Rupert feels she could have handled the situation better, but as I feel he could have built the shelter better, I say his testimony should be stricken. Rob thinks you cant screw around in a situation like this, much to Ambers disappointment and Tom cannot empathize because hes not that woman. Its rather disturbing to think of Tom being any woman in my opinion.
Back at Mogo Mogo, Jerri decides that now would be the perfect time to start talking about all the food she is craving.
Lex politely listens, even manages a smile, while Kathy and Shii Ann lay in the shelter giving it the universal yap yap yap hand movement, while Jerri talks outside.
I miss all the fish Hatch was catching, comments Shii Ann, while looking completely unlikely to attempt to snag any herself.
Lex, on the other hand, is a fisherman of some skill.
He decides to take Ethan with him on an expedition, and frankly why wouldnt you?
Even if you dont catch any fish you still have something real pretty to look at.
Ethan perches on a rock by the ocean while Lex, brings home fish enough fish to form a hearty feast for the day.
This is not his first rodeo, says Colby with a knowing smile.
How many rodeos contain a fishing element, I wonder?
Of course, we cannot allow too many minutes to pass by before we head back over to Chapera.
Just in case you need another diversion from the tedium of the show, ponder this.
Now they are married and appear to have lost any individual identity they might once have had. Should Trista ofiicially change her last name to "AndRyan" and Ryan officially change his to "AndTrista"?
Amber and Jenna walk along the beach looking for a secluded spot to discuss tactics.
They mention Rupert, and considering the evidence weve seen of the brainpower of the two people in conversation, I am not 100% sure they realize he is walking along right behind them.
The three of them, along with Rob, find a suitable tree to take a sit under and begin to thrash out the particulars of an alliance.
Now, I am fully willing to believe that Rupert is a decent guy, but I have definite qualms about his ability to strategize in the game.
He and Jenna seem only too willing to align with the Rob and Amber, who appear to have a very easy time convincing them that they are vulnerable.
If you believe that Rob and Amber and vulnerable, you must be definition believe that Sue, Alicia and Tom are the Chapera power players. Come on now.
We return from the break with a Parental advisory warning on the screen.
Of course it would have been far more of a public service to screen a boredom advisory, after each break as far as Im concerned.
Jerri and Lex collect the tree mail, which consists of the poem written on a generic bag of coffee beans. No love from Folgers obviously.
Jerri then makes the bizarre move of declaring her adoration for Lex, in what looked like a rather desperate bid to form an alliance.
Shamelessly throwing yourself at a man Jerri? How
unlike you.
Yes, of course we have to head off to Chapera now, where they are once again discussing food and Sues lack of interest in the game.
Of course they sympathize with her, of course they do, but they have a game to play and her incessant mopeyness is bringing them down. I feel their pain.
Reward Challenge.
The Chapera stare over at the Mogos, eager to see who got the boot at the last T.C.
For the benefit if the less than cerebral Chaperas, Jiff confirms that Hatch was sent on his way.
Good move, says Amber.
I wanted to the decision the seal of approval, she confesses, but I never really understood why a decision was good simply because a seal said so.
So, Rich was sorta inappropriate at the IC, huh? asks Jiff.
Sorta, confirms Sue.
Any one have anything to say, asks Jiff, innocently, at which point Sue launches on him.
Apparently, an act that was sorta inappropriate three seconds ago is , No Jiff, it wasnt sorta. So it was sorta and now its not. That Sue, shes crazy, huh?
Red faced, neck veins a poppin saliva flying, Sue proceeds to explain in no uncertain terms that the incident with Hatch left her, dehumanized, sexually violated and totally spent. Oh I say, shes crazy isnt she?
What, shes leaving the game? The woman is barking.
So, are you leaving then? asks Jiff.
Yah, she replies.
Jiff then elects to ask the Mogos if they were aware of what happened.
No one did, except Colby, but Sue wont let him speak either and cuts him off even as he seems set to offer her some support.
When Sue informs Jiff that even though Rich is out of the game she has no intention of staying, he calls in the quitter craft to whisk her away.
The Chapera women give her a hug, the men keep their distance. She walks by the Mogo tribe, no one steps forward with the offer of an embrace, before Jiff escorts her down the beach.
He does casually throw an arm round her shoulder, but is careful to maintain clear daylight between their bodies.
He sees her safely into the boat and she is taken away.
No Jenna edit for Sue though. No sad music, no extended sot of the boat bobbing along the surf while the quitter tosses her hair in the breeze like Kelly Ripa at a Womens Home Journal shoot. No screen fading to black.
With computer graphics being as advanced as they are nowadays, MB could probably have had a tiny straightjacket drawn on her.
Jiff walks back up to the group and gives them the choice of what to do next.
They can play the challenge, winner takes all, or they can share the food and talk over the events of the past two minutes.
Jenna L decides they should Kum by yah the moment, by sharing the food and talking through any animosity between the tribes.
Kathy throws her head back, silently mocks the suggestion.
No, she says, Lets play.
The Mogos want some fun, fortunately, that is exactly what Jiff promises this challenge will be.
Remember when Ethan and Lex went to Wamba during S3?
Ethan was playing hackey sack with the little village kids and when he left he let them keep the toy.
Only the soulless failed to fall in love with Ethan at that moment.
Well, this is the S8 version of the challenge he won in order to get that reward, i.e. The Seesaw.
The object is to fire items from one end of the seesaw into a basket 8 feet above it, by stomping on the adjustable plank.
Jiff details the rule that sends shockwaves through Shii Ann, Each person will be responsible for getting one item in the basket.
Jiff calls out the items, which incidentally would probably make a very nice desert in the right combination.
Sugar, a pineapple, oranges, mixed nuts, coffee and uh, beef, in a can.
Canned meat is to real meat as a Swanson Hungry Man dinner is to feeding a genuinely hungry man.
The reward brings squeals of delight, ta daaaaaa, shish kabobs.
Amber Shish kebabs.
Shii Ann Shish kebabs.
Jerri Shish kebabs.
Anyone not get that?
In addition to the kebabs, the winners will also receive some barbequing equipment and un-seesawed copies of the items they had to shoot into the basket.
Amber celebrates with the kind of shoulder dance that produces embarrassed cries of Motherrrrr!!!! when your mom busts a move while chaperoning your 6th grade after school disco.
Tom and Ethan line up ready to run the first leg for their respective tribes.
A chant of Mogo Mogo breaks out among Ethans tribe mates.
A counter cheer of here we go Tommy, here we go breaks out among the Chapera.
Rob smiles smugly at the Mogo Mogo, confident his minions have come up with the more superior yell. Confrontation is so ingrained in the man you know he feels victorious even though he is gleefully clapping and singing along. The big girl.
On Jiffs Go, Ethan and Tom run to their basket of items, Ethan grabs the pineapple, Tom the bag of oranges.
They are neck and neck as they stomp the seesaw.
Tom scores a hit on his first attempt and races back to the tag the next Chapera runner.
He decides to mock Ethan, who needs a second attempt and turns to shout something that I shall assume was Yall bin sleepin baybeeee over his shoulder.
Is Tom trying to say he rigged up a seesaw to practice propelling goats into his top paddock in case All Star became more than just one crazy farm boys pipe dream?
Ethan is successful on his second attempt and races back to base, Shii Ann is off an running for her turn before he is even half way there.
Both Shii Ann and Jenna miss on their first attempt.
They shoot again, Shii Ann scores, Jenna misses again.
Jerri is up next for Mogo Mogo and sees her item balance on the edge of the basket for a few painful seconds, before falling back onto the beach.
Jenna, who is probably up to four or five tries at this point, looks to her tribe mates for advice, clearly struggling with the complicated instructions of, place the item on one end of the plank and jump on the other.
Slide the plank this way, shouts Amber, flapping her arm to the right.
Slide the plank this way, shouts Rob, flapping his arm to the left.
I am now of the belief that the only issue that has stopped them doing it is the mutual lack of a sense of direction.
Jerri scores a hit on her second try and runs back to her tribe mates.
Colby decides to take the next try. A tactic that allows him to avoid giving Jerri the now obligatory celebratory hug with the latest scorer.
Jenna, still manically stomping her plank to no effect, needs further advice from her tribe.
Although everyone else has kept the plank fairly central it its base, Jennas propensity to propel her food item to the right means the advice is to now push the plank as far to the right as possible.
She stomps, she misses.
Colby is successful on his second attempt.
Jenna abandons the jump technique on favour of a single leg stomp.
While she is finally successful, she does graphically illustrate exactly why she was the last person to find a new tribe in the school yard pick em last week,
The score stands at Mogo Mogo 4 Chapera 2.
Kathy baskets her item and runs back to her tribe and straight into the waiting, strong, muscular arms of Ethan. She is by far classier than the other Survivor contestant he has recently had his hands on.
Ok, I just upset myself, I need a moment.
After a couple of attempts, Lex stomps the can of beef into the basket and the Mogos win.
Jiff awards the prize to the green team and his comment that the Chapera will get nothing, produces the audible reaction of whatever from Alicia.
He dismisses the entire group back to their respective camps.
After the break, we join the Mogos cooking the kebabs over the fire.
Lex mentions Ethans meat. I faint.
Although a vegetarian, Ethan is loving his kebab.
I want to rub my face in it, he confesses, I want to sleep next to it.
Dear Extreme Makeover,
I have an unusual request, which I think will make for an interesting show.
It is essential that I receive major cosmetic surgery to turn me into a shish kebab as soon as possible.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Night 17.
Rob wonders if Sue was influenced to quit, but does not even offer an opinion as to who might have done the influencing.
Rupert ignores the obvious hole in Robs speculation, deciding instead to inform them that Sue was contemplating legal action. He talked to her for an hour and then she quit. Nice work Mentor man.
When Rupert confesses that Richard being booted is somehow one of the three strikes against Chapera that threatened to knock them out (shouldnt that be end their inning? I dont know, we dont play that game in my neck of the woods), he unwittingly provides extra ammunition for my theory that he doesnt have a clue how to play this game.
The six remaining Chapera make a hands in a circle sports pact, with accompanying tribal name yell, to stick together no matter what.
I believe Penny and Clay already established the pinkie swear cannot be used as an indicator of lasting commitment during S5, I cannot believe the hand pile will be any more binding.
Day 18.
Rupert returns to the group having collected tree mail.
Now, I know it must be discouraging to be the tree mail guy and see your work constantly overlooked, read by people who have no concept of iambic pentameter and mocked by people who know fifteen different endings to The once was a man from Nantucket, but when Rupert reads out, One of your tribe mates has left, there will be no challenge today, we know poem guy is railing against his working conditions.
They hold a brief, hands on their hearts, heads bowed, vigil for Sue before Rob continues the show of support with a quick chorus of ding dong the witch is gone.
Tom accompanies the song with one of his fleas in my butt crack dances.
He finishes with a Superstah lunge, before calling out and forming an S U E.
Thank heavens Alicia didnt quit. I would hate to have to sit by while Tom struggled to contort his body into an A L L E E S H U H.
Next time on Survivor:
Looks like a twister.

i get italian bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, some salt and pepper and mix it all up. beat and egg. slice the zucchini and put each piece in the egg then the crumb mix. use a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet and lay them in a single layer. bake at 350 for about 15 mins or so until golden brown. you still get the fried taste without frying it
I just steam it and eat it all boring like. Sometimes I put it in pasta sauce.
I saute it in olive oil and use a little bit of salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
I grill it (you can do it in your oven broiler or with a cast iron griddle inside), julienne it and sautee it, or dice and sautee it and add it to pasta or couscous
Pan fry on the stove with butter and seasoned salt. Sliced and add to toasted sandwich and then dip sandwich in bbq sauce!! Yummy yummy! LOL!!!
The other night i sliced mine up with some yellow squash and onion and put it all in a baking dish with some chicken breasts, sprinkled with salt and pepper and baked it in the oven. Very good.

A while back I was looking for a new stereo system due to the fact that the one I had was on it's way out, one of the speakers had popped pretty badly and crackled like a sparkler when turned up slightly. Plus, the actual CD housing case had split right down the centre and opened up in two sections, leaving a rather sharp edge when it did so.
So, I was on the hunt for a new stereo at a reasonable price, which was not as easy as I first thought as I found that some of the cheaper models looked as odd as a penny farthing competing in the 'Tour de France', and the better looking ones cost more than a small family car.
However, during my search I came across a rather nice looking system, with the well known name of Philips etched on it, but the only problem was that it was a bit above what I was willing to pay, even if I really liked the looks of it.
But, a few days later I noticed the exact same system on a shelf in a nearby electrical store, with the price being a lot less than the original price, so I jumped at the chance to get it, basically as I liked the style due to the fact that it would fit nicely with the rest of the furniture in the room I wanted it in, with its black and silver colouring and rather sleek design.
When I got it home I went about un-boxing it and setting it up, which took all of five minutes, making sure that everything was there and working properly, the price I got it for made me think that maybe something was not quite right with it, but once set up I discovered that it was all there and working fine.
** IN THE BOX you should get...
* The Micro stereo system itself
* Two speakers
* A stand
* Remote control
* Power adapter
* User manual
* Quick start guide
* 2 x 30 watt speakers (total 60 watts of music power)
* Front loading motorised slide
* LCD display with blue back light
* DAB band III radio
* FM radio
* 4 mode Digital sound control.
* Dynamic bass boost
* Speakers contain Bass reflex speaker system, 2 inch way tweeters and 4 inch woofers.
* Plays CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3-CD and WMA-CD
* Disc playback modes are play/pause, fast forward/reverse, next/ previous, programme play, repeat, shuffle and stop.
* USB recording capabilities for 'ripping' music from disc.
* Auto tuning
* Auxiliary line in.
* 3.5mm headphone socket
* FM and DAB antenna
* 20 preset radio stations
* 1 Watt standby power
* CD Alarm, Radio Alarm, Sleep timer, USB alarm
* Main unit is 211mm wide x 250mm high x 160mm deep
* Speakers are 158mm wide x 250mm high x 330mm deep
* Weighs approximately 6kg.
This was pretty easy indeed, being a matter of getting everything out of the box, (obviously), slotting the stand into the position on the rear. Then sliding the speaker wires into the appropriate 'holes' in the rear.
The speaker wires are 'bare' at the ends and have to be slotted into place, although I do prefer this as I find it a lot easier to extend the wire in order to place the speaker at a further distance than the original wire allows.
Then you slot in the antenna into place and you're ready to scan for any radio stations and store them into the system itself.
It looks pretty stylish, in a black/silver and glass fashion, with the speakers being black whilst the main unit it half black, (the top section) and half silver, (the bottom section).
NOTE: this is quite important...
One thing you do have to remember about this is that the front slides up and down so you can change you CD's so you do have to have enough room above it to allow for this. If you allow twice the height of the unit itself you'll be laughing.
This sliding motion is one of the things I like about this system, the way that the top section gently slides upwards, revealing the CD loading section, allowing you to put in your favourite music, then the cover slides gently back into position, making the system look as neat and tidy as ever.
Anyway, along the bottom section are the button to control the music system, these are clearly marked and are all push operated.
These controls on the front are clearly marked and easy to understand, this goes for the remote control as well, so the system is a breeze to use. I won't go into the buttons as this could be classed as padding, but suffice to say that you can do everything with the touch of one button, even 'rip' your CD onto a memory stick via the USB port on the front of this unit
As for the remote, this is as clearly marked as the stereo itself, although the remote gives you more control over the stereo itself, with such things as direct number link to your chosen track using the shift key and the number keys. Or there's the MP3/USB controls which help you browse through any USB device that you have plugged in, and a lot more to boot, (I won't go into too much as there is a lot this remote offers, it's a matter of pressing a few buttons to see what's what).
Another thing I like about this stereo is the USB port which means you don't have to worry about scratching your favourite CDs as this system can read your memory cards using the USB port, providing you have a card reader which are only a few quid. This means that you can simply store thousands of your favourite tracks on a single card, slot it in a reader and slot it in the USB port on the front, giving you and endless supply of tunes which can be controlled so easily with the remote control.
Or failing that, if you haven't got a USB card reader or a stick, then not to worry, this unit has a built in Auxiliary port which allows you to plug in any other player via the external players headphone socket, (as long as you have the correct leads that is).
Now for the most important thing about a stereo system, the sound quality, (why else would you want a stereo?).
The sound quality is remarkable, although if you're going to play CD-R/CD-RW etc.. then the quality depends on the way you've recorded you music, but playing 'shop bought' CDs is like being in a concert hall, (almost). The bass boost give the younger side of you the chance to bounce a little bass around the walls, (just try not to annoy the neighbours too much), whilst the genre selection gives each of you chosen tracks a chance to be heard how they should be, such as 'pop'. 'rock', 'classical', etc.
As for the size of this system, well it is a micro system so it's not as big and bulky as some others of the same calibre. It sits nicely on a 'normal' table, (as long as you allow room for the CD cover to open upwards), with the speakers being almost as wide as the stereo itself. If you think of a shoe box with the lid open then you have a rough idea of the size of the stereo itself, with the speakers being slightly narrower and, most importantly, detachable.
Personally, with the aid of a little extra speaker wire and the fact that the wires simply slot into the appropriate holes in the rear of the stereo. I have my speakers on either side of the room with the stereo sitting more or less in a central position, which seems to give me a more 'stereophonic' sound as I listen to my classical music after a hard day in front of the PC. (OK then..!)
The other positives about this stereo is the few little extras that it offers, such as the alarm clock, which you can set to wake you up with your favourite music CD or even radio station. Plus the rather delightful blue screen which lies on the door slide of the CD cover, this blue screen may be small but the information it gives is clear and easy to read.
There was a slight negative, which didn't last too long as a negative may I add, that was that the DAB was a bit of a nuisance to tune in at first, trying to find more than one station, which was defiantly not an English station, but after a few scans, and a bit of messing about with the antenna, I managed to pick up a few digital stations which were all as clear as if I was listening to a CD.
(I have been told that I should be able to get even more digital stations if I invest in a digital aerial, maybe with a booster, but that's something I'll maybe look into in the future).
Now for the price, which I know you're all very interested in. if you look around you'll see that this particular system sell for up to £150,( in some place even a massive £200), which was what put me off buying this in the first place. But, after actually managing to get it for a mere £79.99 I am well impressed with what I paid for.
In fact, to be perfectly honest, now that I have used it and realised just how good it really is, I would probably have paid the £150 for it anyway, (maybe shops should offer a try before you buy scheme on products like this..?)
In all, this has to be one of the finest 'lower end of the price range' micro stereo system with DAB I have had the honour of using, offering you more than just a chance to play you Rihanna and Cheryl Cole 'songs', (if you like that sort of trash... I mean thing).

Moi cuts Kenyan government ministries
President Moi: working towards economic recovery
Kenya's President Daniel arap Moi has announced a major cabinet reshuffle, almost halving the number of ministries.
A number of departments have been merged, giving several ministers increased responsibilities.
However, the number of cabinet ministers remains at 27, because several of the merged ministries now have more than one minister.
President Moi said he had made the changes to create a smaller, more efficient government.
Improved services
"I am determined to put in place the right conditions for our economic recovery," he said.
"I want to see government services to the people improved everywhere and this calls for efficiency and dedication by all public offices."
Former Agriculture Minister, Musalia Mudavadi, will now oversee information, transport and communications as well as telephone, port and railway privatisation.
His post at Agriculture - now expanded to include Livestock and Rural Development - is being taken by Chris Obure, who was Cooperative Development Minister.
No lay-offs
Nicholas Biwott becomes Minister of Tourism, Trade and Industry and Vice-President George Saitoti also becomes Minister for Home Affairs and Sport.
President Moi announced that there would be no lay-offs in the civil service and that public employees should continue their work.
In a surprise decision last July, President Moi appointed Richard Leakey, a former head of the Kenyan Wildlife Service to take on corruption in the civil service.

AS5200 Universal Access Server
Modems executing firmware that is different from what is bundled with Cisco IOS may lose the firmware mapping after a reload and fall back to using the firmware version bundled with Cisco IOS.
The show modem mapping command shows that some modems are running the Cisco IOS-default digital signal processor (DSP) firmware, while others are running the new DSP firmware version. Some modems may not be operational.
Cisco has determined that an AS5200 running Cisco IOS release 11.3AA or Cisco IOS 12.0 images with a Cisco IOS 11.2(11)P2 boot image may not fully reload the modem DSP firmware when using Microcom modems.
It is planned that the release of boot image Cisco IOS 11.2(17)P will fix this problem. Until this release is available, manually load modem DSP firmware with the copy flash modem command or run with the bundled Microcom firmware only.
This defect is logged in bug ID CSCdk67882, CSCdk63579, and CSCdk60427. If you are a registered CCO user and you have logged in, you can view bug details.
Performing the show modem mapping command will provide the version of Microcom DSP firmware currently running on the DSP and will also list the firmware images available on flash.

Actors more than Stars., Oct 04, 2009
Frank Leonardo
from N.J. USA
I have to admit that I was drawn to "A Steady Rain" due to the fact that I like the films of Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig. When the play began, I watched the opening somewhat star struck. As the play progressed though, they ceased to be Hugh and Daniel to me and began to be Joey and Denny. They pulled me in as they say and I was riveted. These men are actors more than stars, and actors of the highest caliber. The writing is also excellent, first introducing the characters, then developing the story with a great mix of humor and drama.
Leaving the theater I felt the story in my chest. It's something I'll never forget.

JUST HYPE, Oct 02, 2009
from New York City
Celebrity status does not translate into believeable acting from either Messrs. Craig or Jackman, though the former does manage to be somewhat dimensional. The fundamental problem however is Mr. Huff's weak and lurid nonsensical script and the staging thereof. The two's mens stories should evoke gritty, tense interactions between Joey and Denny. Unfortunately those moments are rare. Sets and lighting were thoughtful ... what's with Mr. Jackman's costume? Don't be taken in by the celebrity hype.

They actually made me forget who they were, Sep 27, 2009
Karen Parker Lemeiux
from Neenah, WI
These men are completely believable in their
performances. I was quickly drawn in by their
characters and was actually able to forget the "stars"
that they are. As a Wisconsinite, I'm familiar with
Chicago accents and they nail it! I urge you to see this
show, it's the best money I spent in NYC. A powerful
play performed & produced with excellence!

It's RAINING men!, Sep 23, 2009
Maria Wells
from Manchester, NH
There is only one thing better than seeing Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig, for the first time, in "A Steady Rain"----seeing them a second. This duo only improves their stage presence as they meld their performance delivery. Both actors give 150% each showing, before and after the play starts. They are uniquely generous with their time and it's well appreciated. Never should a live performer have to deal with rude theater goers (bad enough that the audience has to), but Mr. Jackman and Mr. Craig have had to do just that. Cell phone interruptions and loud, unnecessary chatter annoyed me, but the gentlemen actors were far more gracious. They acknowledged the offense with warm humor and continued their lines flawlessly. Hope you're able to make this limited run---the story is very moving even when hearing it over & over. Hats off to Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig!

My Version of THE Truth, Sep 16, 2009
Maria Wells
from Manchester
Attending this event will afford you a unique opportunity to personally experience that "all men are not created equal" when it comes to a genuinely stellar theatrical performance. Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig deliver an entertaining, heart-wrenching 90 minute performance that will have you thoroughly engaged from beginning to end. Humorous jabs, escalating tension, moral and emotional dilemmas—tears of laughter and sadness were inevitable. Your emotional investment will not be in vain. I can't argue with the comments heard following the preview I attended, that a locker room scene would have been a plus (grateful that it did not materialize as my 18 yr old daughter and I would have needed EMT assistance). We both walked away with renewed enthusiasm as we agreed that when it comes to great performances, our age difference was forgotten.
These gentlemen actors will mesmerize you, once you recover from the shellshock of their presence, absent any physical body parts being exposed (you can always call on creative license as flashbacks surface). Granted, this version of the truth is all in the telling…. 2 tips to keep in mind--try to get seats as close to the stage as you can afford and save room for treats from Junior's next door (best cheesecake EVER). We sat in the second row which allowed us to hear the actors better and to see the rapid fire display of the change in their emotions. The opening of preview night was so spectacular, we are returning for a repeat performance (1st row this time) on 9/19. Cheers!

You and James date for 6 months, and before you know it, you've both graduated another year of college. You're now done with your 2nd, and James is done with his 5th.
You and James have had a really quick, full relationship. You've already spent three weekends in Albany with James and his parents, and he's met your mom twice. Everyone is supportive of your relationship, and you're so in love with James. It's amazing how quickly things can change.
You and James decide to get your families together for a graduation party. Your mom & Anna come out to Yonkers, New York to help you pack up your dorm room, and then you all go with James to Albany, where his parents live.
Diana & Norman host a gorgeous outdoor pool party, and your mom is shocked at how well-off they are. She gets along really well with James' parents, and you both are so happy to see everyone be so friendly.
Towards the end of the night, you start to feel a shift in the party. Everyone's staring at you and James, and you can't pinpoint why. When you finally decide to ask James what's up, he gets down on one knee and proposes to you. Everyone stares intently, and you start crying. You accept, of course, and the crowd erupts into applause. James scoops you up and twirls you like a ballerina. You can't believe this is happening!
Diana & Norman bring out a huge cake with sparklers on it, and you and James cut into it, smiles all the way to your ears. It's a memorable night.
6 months later, on your 1 year anniversary, on November 22, you marry your prince charming in a gorgeous fall wedding. Your theme is orange and brown, and everything is very fall-related and crisp.

Dress: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...SWVt30hRooSsSw
Ring: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...VvuRKce3gtNY_M
After your gorgeous fall wedding, you two go on a 2-week-honeymoon to Istanbul, Turkey. You and James have a blast, and you're so happy to have seen another continent.
You and James get back to the US while you're still on winter break, and you two stay in Diana & Norman's house for a couple of days before you finally decide to move back to your hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Your mom really needs you now that Anna's moving to California for college.
You and James move really close to your mom's house, and enroll in the same medical college to finish out your educations. You're happy to be so close to your mom, and James really loves living in Massachusetts.
House: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-6294...hed-entry.html
3 years after you two marry, you decide it's time to start having children. You're 23, and in your 5th year of college. James is 26, and he's just graduated and is about to find a job as a surgeon.|| Elif Merima Hatidža || Arabela Kada Fatima || Solomija Hadžira Rahima |||| Alaga Muhamed Mumin || Rijad Ilijas Mumin || Elham Ibrahim Džan ||

The duo's third full-length will come out in July via ATP Recordings.
Benjamin John Power and Andrew Hung's most recent album as Fuck Buttons was 2009's Tarot Sport, which was produced by Andrew Weatherall. Slow Focus is their first self-produced LP, and as with their first two albums, it'll be released through ATP Recordings.
"Slow Focus seemed like a very apt title when considering the sentiment of the music," explained Power. "It almost feels like the moment your eyes take to readjust when waking, and realising you're in a very unusual and not a particularly welcoming place. We like to think that we create our own new landscapes, and with this it's a very alien one."
The duo plan to take their live show on the road in support of the album, with festival dates confirmed across Europe and the UK. The tour kicks off on May 23rd at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, and takes in dates at Glastonbury, Best Kept Secret and Greenman festival among others.

If you're one of the millions (and millions!) of Batfans who are reveling in the greatness that is Batman: Arkham City but haven't finished it yet, you may want to avoid this particular preview for now, as it takes a major plot cue from that there video game and incorporates it into the DCnU.
Which one, you ask? Well, if you're that curious, you obviously don't care about spoilers, so lookie here below at these preview pages from tomorrow's Batman: The Dark Knight #3, co-written by Paul Jenkins and David Finch, with art from Finch as well.
There's also the curiosity of the White Rabbit, bouncing about Arkham Asylum and Gotham City proper in this Playboy Bunny get-up that has to be freezing this time of year. Has she officially replaced Harley Quinn at the Joker's side now that the Dr. Quinzel is scrumping with Deadshot over in Suicide Squad? That riddle solution may be hinted at below as well.

Once again monthly International Air Transport Association (IATA) airline traffic statistics reflected "positive distortion" caused by geopolitical and other factors, resulting in somewhat inflated data for March. Last week IATA reported a rise in total passenger demand of 7.6 percent for the month of March over the same period a year earlier, while freight demand climbed 0.3 percent. If not for the disruption caused by the emergence of last year's Arab Spring and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, the year-over-year rise in passenger traffic would have settled at closer to a still relatively strong 5 or 6 percent, said IATA.
Meanwhile, the timing of the Chinese New Year this January led to stronger February shipments this year, while last year the Chinese New Year fell in February, resulting in stronger March 2011 figures and less favorable year-over-year comparisons. In fact, compared with February 2012, March air cargo demand rose by 2.2 percent.
"Given the prevailing economic conditions with some European states returning to recession, passenger demand is holding up well," said IATA director general and CEO Tony Tyler. "But this is bringing little relief to the bottom line because yields are not keeping pace with the continued high price of oil."
Fortunately for the airlines, international travel continued to show exceptionally strong growth, rising 9.6 percent in March compared with the same period a year earlier, while capacity climbed just 5 percent, resulting in a load factor of 77.7 percent, up 3.2 percentage points from March 2011.
While Middle Eastern airlines rebounded nicely from the effects of last year's Arab Spring, registering 20.9-percent growth in demand, Europe's increase of 8.8 percent perhaps ranked as the most impressive showing among all regions, given deepening recessions in parts of the continent. IATA attributed the growth partly to expanding European exports to stronger Asian economies and the associated business travel.
However, Tyler questioned how long the continent can continue to register such gains in an environment where the UK, while again in the grip of a recession, has raised its passenger duty by 8 percent, and Spain—another country that has slipped into a so-called double-dip recession in recent weeks—contemplates a 50-percent increase in charges at its main airports in Madrid and Barcelona.
"The goose that lays the golden eggs can take only so many knocks before she fails to produce," warned Tyler.

|Minnesota art exhibit features aerial photography mosaic
|By Jim Lacy
|September 13, 2013
Here's something you don't see every day: a 20' x 30' aerial image displayed at an art center. Read that again, that's 20 feet x 30 feet! The folks from the Minnesota Geospatial Information Office (MnGeo) teamed up with staff from the Walker Art Center on an exhibit by Fritz Haeg entitled "At Home in the City." Walker Art Center staff worked with Thomas Reprographics to print the imagery and prepare the exhibit.
I spoke with Norm Anderson from MnGeo, because I was curious how they pulled off producing such a large image without generating enormous files. Norm said they limited the output resolution (simple jpegs) to 160 dots per inch. That resulted in very manageable files sizes of 80-90 MB for each of three large tiles that made up the display. Norm wasn't involved in the printing, but he thought Thomas Reprographics used a special-purpose printer designed to produce large billboards.
Kudos to our friends to the west... nice to see some "geo" featured like this!

JERUSALEM (Jun. 7)
This week's publication of a secret letter from Israel to Norway on the status of Palestinian institutions in Jerusalem sent the Rabin government into convulsions as it desperately sought to staunch the political damage triggered by the affair.
Arguing that critical information was willfully concealed from the Knesset, the right-wing opposition, led by the Likud, demanded Rabin's resignation or, at the very least, a new vote on the entire Israel-Palestine Liberation Organization agreement.
In the media, the episode prompted an unprecedented attack on the government's credibility as commentators underscored the various denials and prevarications about the letter that have emanated from top ministers in recent weeks.
Now that it has been made public, the text of the letter appears less momentous than might have been imagined, according to observers.
However, it comes at a time of acute sensitivity over the Jerusalem issue, with PLO spokesmen from Yasser Arafat on down focusing international attention on the city's status and future.
According to the autonomy agreement, which went into effect for the Gaza Strip and the West Bank city of Jericho last month, Jerusalem is not supposed to be raised until talks on the final status of the territories, slated to begin within two years.
The controversial letter — whose existence was confirmed for the first time last week — was sent by Foreign Minister Shimon Peres to Johan Jorgen Holst, the late Norwegian foreign minister, who was instrumental in orchestrating the secret Oslo talks that led to the historic Israeli-PLO accord.
In the letter, dated Oct. 11, 1993, Peres wrote:
"I wish to confirm that the Palestinian institutions of East Jerusalem and the interests and well-being of the Palestinians of East Jerusalem are of great importance and will be preserved.
"Therefore," the letter continued, "all the Palestinian institutions of East Jerusalem, including the economic, social, educational and cultural, and the holy Christian and Moslem places, are performing an essential task for the Palestinian population.
"Needless to say, we will not hamper their activity. On the contrary, the fulfillment of this important mission is to be encouraged," Peres wrote in the letter, the contents of which were clearly intended to be passed onto Arafat.
Explaining the letter in an interview Tuesday, Peres said the text had been "carefully drafted."
The foreign minister said the letter deliberately did not mention the PLO, Arafat or the autonomous self-government, but was intended only to preserve the existing Palestinian institutions in the city.
He said the letter was sent to Holst, rather than Arafat, in an effort to underline the fact that Arafat is not a party to any discussion of Jerusalem.
Peres said the letter was sent in the wake of "a last-minute crisis that threatened the entire agreement" before the Sept. 13 signing of the Declaration of Principles in Washington.
The PLO was balking at Israel's insistence that the declaration specify that Jericho was to be the seat of the Palestinian self-government, he said.
After much argument, the PLO accepted the Israeli condition, but at the same time Arafat demanded assurances regarding Palestinian institutions in East Jerusalem, according to Peres.
As a result of that particular negotiation, Peres, nearly a month after the signing, forwarded to Holst the letter, together with passages from a speech Peres had made to the Knesset on Sept. 9.
"Why didn't the Likud jump in the Knesset when I said virtually the same things?" Peres asked Tuesday. "They are just looking to make political capital.
"This letter in fact emphasizes our determination not to countenance any presence of the self-government administration in Jerusalem," Peres said.
This last point is key in the controversy, because ever since the Madrid peace conference in November 1991, the West Bank leadership has been using the Orient House, a stately old building in eastern Jerusalem, as the center of its political and diplomatic activity.
Foreign envoys are received there, negotiating teams confer there, various academic and research organizations function there.
Ariel Sharon, at the time a Likud government minister, bitterly attacked his own prime minister, Yitzhak Shamir, over the situation with the Orient House which, Sharon asserted, had long-term political ramifications.
Now, with Likud in the opposition, with the Orient House expanding all the time, and with new organs of the Palestinian self-government in formation, the political ramifications that Sharon predicted are becoming increasingly evident.
Unofficial moves by the Israeli authorities to put a lid on Palestinian political activities in the city, and to nudge the nascent Palestinian agencies towards Jericho, triggered angry responses both from the local leadership and from Tunis.
This was the backdrop to Arafat's notorious harangue in a mosque in South Africa last month, when he boasted that he had wrung a secret letter from Israel on the issue of Jerusalem and the holy places as his condition for signing the Gaza-Jericho agreement in Cairo May 4.
Arafat's outburst — in which he also called for a "jihad" for the liberation of Jerusalem –led to repeated questions about the mysterious letter until public pressure forced Peres to publish the full text this week.
Peres continued to insist this week that his and Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's earlier denials were "all still valid:"
There had never been a letter to Arafat; rather it was to Hoist; it was not linked to the Cairo Agreement for it had been sent nearly seven months earlier; and it did not make concessions to the PLO beyond the extant situation on the ground in Jerusalem.
On the most literal and technical level, these assertions are correct.
It remains to be seen, however, whether Israeli public opinion will buy them.
The opposition — both the parliamentary parties and the settlers' movement — seem to sense the political mileage still untapped in the affair, and are increasingly focusing their anti-government campaigns on the issue of Jerusalem.
The opposition believes that it is on the question of Jerusalem that public opinion is most united — and most determined not to make any political concessions.
Peres is trying to distinguish between political matters, on which, he says, "Jerusalem is closed," and religious and social matters, where, he says, there is room for accommodation.
Knesset member Dan Meridor, the former Likud justice minister who, along with fellow Likud Knesset member Benny Begin, is making much of the secret letter affair, swept aside this distinction as specious.
The letter, Meridor noted during a Knesset session on the issue Tuesday, refers specifically to "Palestinian institutions" — not merely to religious or social institutions.
Amid constant interruptions from the opposition Knesset members, Peres sought to reassure his colleagues on the government position on Jerusalem. Both the government's outlook and its actions, he said, ensure that "Jerusalem shall not be divided.
"Jerusalem will not be the capital of two states, but the capital of the government of Israel only," he said. "It will not become a Berlin, divided by a wall," he said, "It will not become part of the autonomy and the institutions of the autonomy will not (operate) out of Jerusalem."

No, nothing close by. If you like snorkeling, I highly recommend going to Champagne Reef. I prefer going by boat, but they have built a cat walk so it's easier to get into the water. It's a fantastic snorkel. It's about a 10-15 minute cab ride.

One the biggest stories in the MMA world is the tragic situation concerning UFC Heavyweight Shane del Rosario who suffered from a horrific cardiovascular failure last Tuesday morning. Fellow UFC fighter, and Shane's roommate, Ian McCall found Del Rosario collapsed in their home. He then called 911 and continued to administer CPR until paramedics arrived. Del Rosario was then admitted into Hoag hospital in full cardiac arrest.
"Shane continues to cling to life at Hoag hospital in Newport Beach, California." Texted Jason House to Sherdog.com, "After arriving at the emergency room in full cardiac arrest on Tuesday morning he was resuscitated to stable rhythm and blood pressure, but has not regained consciousness. Doctors believe he may suffer from a rare condition called Long QT Syndrome, which is a genetic anomaly that can cause a sudden and life-threatening heart rhythm abnormality, and may result in sudden death. Tragically, it strikes healthy young people and often is the first and only presentation of a heart problem."
On Wednesday Del Rosario underwent a procedure using the Arctic Sun medical device in an attempt to raise his core body temperature and activate his brain. Unfortunately, the procedure did not work and Del Rosario was put on life support. His family was said to make a decision on Friday morning on whether or not to continue life support, but have chosen to delay their choice until further notice.
"They are very thankful for all of the support and love that has come from all over the world for their son," stated training partner Erik Apple. "At this point we need to do our best to respect their privacy and continue to pray for their son."
Dr. Jon Gelber, founder of FightMedicine.net, shed a little light on the condition that could be responsible for the sudden heart failure of a healthy young person such as Del Rosario. Long QT Syndrome is an abnormality in the heart's conduction pathway and affects about one in 2,000 people. It can lead to rapid heartbeats that can trigger a sudden fainting spell, seizure or sudden death.
People who suffer from this condition are usually advised not to participate in sports. However, there have been exceptions to the stipulations such as Olympic Gold Medalist Swimmer Dana Vollmer who also suffers from Long QT Syndrome. However, a study by Mayo Clinic states that as long as the families and coaches are well education and have equipment such as a defibrillator on hand for emergencies, then someone suffering with this condition could in fact still safely participate in athletics.
However, there is still great risk. With a heart condition like this one must remember that if it surfaces it can lead to cardiovascular collapse in which the heart is unable to provide enough oxygen to vital organs including the brain.
We here at BJPenn.com are keeping the Del Rosario family in our thoughts and prayers and we ask our readers to do the same.Tags: Long QT Syndrom, mma, MMA NEWS, Shane Del Rosario, ufc, ufc news

Alzheimer's Disease
Testing for Microvascular Disease of the Brain
My 69 year old relative recently had a CT completed which indicated atrophy and microvascular disease of the brain. She has experienced stabbing headaches, lightheadedness, and blurred vision for the past 3 months. Since 1978 she has suffered from tremors, and in recent years has developed a burning sensation in her legs.
This last month she has fallen 3 times due to imbalance and blacked out. She has been diagnosed with a pinched nerve in her neck and vertigo. Should we get a MRI of the brain for further evaluation or continue treatment for the pinched nerve and vertigo only?
MRI of the brain and evaluation by a neurologist may be indicated. A physician should be urgently contacted to evaluated the person for temporal arteritis. THIS MUST BE DONE IMMEDIATELY

Can't access favorites in IE 9 after bought of Smart HDD virus
I recently got the Smart HDD virus land on my computer. I tried everything to get rid of it but couldn't. I ended up doing a system restore back 3 days prior to the infection. Everything seems to be working okay except I cannot access my favorites from IE 9. I've tried doing a regedit of the HKEY_CURRENT_USER line in the registry but that didn't help. I've uninstalled IE 9 and reinstalled it, but that didn't help. All my favorites are still in the Favorites folder located in C:\users\Marty. I just can't seem to get IE 9 to see them. Any suggestions?
All replies
Have you tried to import it into Internet Explorer 9?
Follow these steps on the computer that you want to import your favorites to.
- Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Internet Explorer, and then, in the list of results, click Internet Explorer.
2. Click the Favorites button, click the arrow next to the Add to Favorites button, and then click Import and Export.
3. In the Import/Export Settings dialog box, click Import from a file, and then click Next.
4. Select the Favorites check box, and then click Next.
5. By default, Internet Explorer imports from a file called bookmark.htm in your Documents folder, but you can tell it to import favorites that are saved under another name. Click Browse and select a file, or type a location and file name to import, or click Next to accept the default.
6. Select the folder where you want to place the imported favorites, and then click Import.
7. Click Finish.

I'm still in the process of recovering the files. I used a restore point to get rid of the malware, but it had changed access permissions to files. They are still there. A USB-USB cable utility lists them, but I am still working on a trustworthy way to make them visable again.
when you copy them to a usb they are made read-only. after you have copied them back, right click on the favorites folder and select 'Properties', uncheck 'read-only'..... you will be prompted to ask if you want to change all sub folders and files, yes...
you should be good to go.

The Protoss are a force to be reckoned with
Pardo moved on to talk a bit about how the Protoss are progressing in the development of the game. Their psionics are the key theme to their race and Blizzard pushed that further, but also pulled back on the emphasis on spellcasting.
First he showed an example of their new force field ability used to control the battlefield. A video showed a swarm of zerglings rushing a Protoss base, but the Protoss force threw up a series of connected force fields that formed a funnel forcing the zergs into a choke point where they were easily destroyed.
While high damage Protoss spells like Psi Storm are returning, Blizzard also wanted to introduce some early game casters. Nullifiers were mentioned. And Stalkers were given a teleport ability that had interesting strategic potential. In another video of game play, force fields were raised forcing an attacking army to go around it. The Stalkers then teleported themselves to the other side of the force fields, behind the attacking army, and took them out from behind.
The return of the Mothership
The Protoss Mothership also makes an appearance. While not as powerful as the Zerg Queen, it has been given powerful support abilities. It is now a mobile battlefield teleporter, able to zap in troops to wherever it is at. It is also heavily armored and has an emergency ability called Time Bomb which renders it immune from damage for a short period of time. Since it isn't as versatile as the Zerg Queen, Protoss players will be able to have more than one Mothership in play at once.

The directory containing your Middle directory needs to be in the
python path which is stored in sys.path at runtime, and augmented by
the environment variable PYTHONPATH when Python starts.
I like to make my code impervious to its environment when possible, so
my personal pref is to enhance sys.path in my Python code. Also:
- I also like to make my code impervious to what directory it's run
in, so I don't use absolute paths.
- sys.path[0] is often a blank string or the path of the main python
program. Whatever the case, I never pre-empt it.
- My program is usually "next door" to the Middle directory in another
directory like "bin" or "WebApp".
So given all that, a command line tool I write that uses Middle might say:
import os, sys
progPath = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), sys.argv[0])
progDir = os.path.dirname(progPath)
projectDir = os.path.dirname(projectDir)
assert os.path.exists(projectDir), projectDir
sys.path.insert(1, projectDir)
# now test it:
import Middle
For a WebKit app, you'd do this fixup during context initialization.
Or you could just set the PYTHONPATH environment variable and not
write any Python code.
Btw any time you have problems importing a module, you can "print
sys.path" to help you troubleshoot it, although I find that output
hard to read and do this instead:
for p in sys.path:
print repr(p)
