M(o)ustache update – World Beard & Moustache Championships 2007; Brits granted entry to Best Sports M(o)ustache of All Time
Boy, those moustached fellas don't miss a trick. Following yesterday's post focusing on the American Mustache Institute, a nice man representing the World Beard & Moustache Championships 2007 got in touch to alert us Britishers to their event. It's held on September 1st in Brighton, which is frankly rather more convenient than Missouri. Like the AMI, the Championships aim to raise money for charity (The Rockinghorse Appeal).
As you'd expect from a body of folk used to keeping things neat and tidy, the event looks extremely well-organised. Check out the event schedule for proof. I for one would definitely take part in the "Parade", which runs from 11am. Later on the competition proper takes place (partial and full beards are catered to), before a buffet supper (runny eggs excluded, one hopes).

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a limited access program and acceptance to the University does not constitute admission to the upper division Nursing Program. A separate application must be made to the department.
The Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) track is designed for those students who have already completed the RN program at a community college or diploma program and have been, or are eligible to be, licensed in the state of Florida.
The Master's of Science in Nursing (MSN) program is an innovative and flexible online program that prepares the professional nurse for leadership, advanced nursing roles, and doctoral studies (including a cooperative doctorate with The University of Florida). The M.S.N. consists of 39 semester hours of coursework. Students may select from the two areas of specialization. Nursing Education (39 semester hours) prepares students for employment in an academic or community/hospital/agency setting, while Nursing Administration (39 semester hours) prepares students for employment in an administrative/management position in the health care industry.

Even the best angels can be devils some of the time. Whether it is throwing a tantrum, pulling hair, or dropping a heavy object on your toes, sometimes even their cutest smile isn't enough to calm your upset mind. When my daughter is screaming in need all I want to do is help her, but when she is throwing a tantrum all I want to do is be elsewhere. Instead I take a deep breath and remember I was once a little devil too. Dealing with the frustration of a "painfully playful" child can take many forms… How do you handle the moments your child presses your buttons?
If my children are having a meltdown because they are tired, frustrated, or just can't take anymore, I offer them comfort (blankie and milk), hold them, and get them involved in something they enjoy. If they are just being pure evil and throwing a fit. I explain that Mommy doesn't listen to little boys and girls when they are kicking and screaming. That is when I pick them up, take them to a safe place, and walk away. Then I pray for God to give us both the patience to make it until Daddy gets home! LOL.
my niece is now 6 but when she was 3 her mom couldn't handle her anymore so she brought her here for a few months, she had major meldowns when told she couldn't do something, it didn't take long for us to relize she didn't know why she couldn't do it just that she couldn't, so we took the time everytime we could to tell her why she could't do it or why she was it trouble. it helped a lot her tantroms almost stoped there were a few as to be expected from a 3 year old but they were much easer to handle.
This actually just happened to me yesterday. I've been home with the kids all week 24/7 and my 2-year-old has been physically attached to my person the whole time. Finally when we all sat down to watch a family movie, she just would not get off of me. She kept bringing me book after book, wanted me to read them several times. Then came the puzzles and the toys and the crying when I didn't do what she wanted. I tried to get her to go to her dad or her sister, but she was having none of it. I finally had it. Grabbed my coat and wallet and went out for a while. My oldest asked where I was going and I said I had to get out of the house before I did something not so nice.
I rarely loose my patience, especially with my kids, but I skipped an antidepressant the night before and was starting on the PMS trip, which made everything unbearable. When I get in these situations, rather than lash out at those at home I try to remove myself from the situation. Yes, I had some attitude and my family knew I was not happy, but I did not yell at anyone.
BTW, anyone know what Prince Caspian was about? LOL
It's funny. When I read this title I thought that this bulletin was going to be about wives who all of a sudden go insane when their pregnant. lol! But now I see...
Lol, MommaPhee. Did you meet someone like that?

Totem's parking spot in the Brisbane river comes with lots of current and regular rolling from the wake of passing ferries. Both of these are quite unfriendly to docklines. Poor Totem springs back and forth in her slip, and snaps so hard against the docklines that it honestly hurts me a little inside. We clocked the motion at almost 4 knots (and then learned that our neighbors recorded 6 kts)! The jerking back and forth is tough on lines and tough on the boat- we badly need to absorb the shock.
Jamie wrote about docklines and dealing with these conditions in some detail for this month's issue of 48° North. At the time he was writing the article, we were working through our options. Our assumption was we'd switch to nylon 3-strand line (it's stretchier, unlike the old genoa sheets we have masquerading as docklines) and put on a snubber.
|Standard snubber setup
We used snubbers like this while we were in a marina on Bainbridge Island. In hindsight, that must have looked pretty funny. There's not much surge to speak of in little Eagle Harbor! But they were already on the lines- possibly stemming from the prior owner's time at a marina in Hawaii.
One of them was still buried in our transom garage "somewhere"; the other had gone bloop to a watery end many moons ago. You kind of need two for a functional system. We might not find a quality snubber here- friend Toast said the snubbers they saw in Auckland were terribly UV-degraded.
Many people use smaller line to minimize the jerking. It's got more spring to absorb the shock than larger, heavier line. You can put a bigger, badder line on in addition as a backup- but using underspec'd docklines just strikes me as a questionable option.
We have dock neighbors that employ a seriously robust looking setup. It made me wonder if the simple snubber was really enough- check out that monster spring!
We wondered if the chain was really smart (seems like a link could get weakened from bending around the cleat under load), but our friend Jason on the cat EA knew otherwise. He's a rigger at West Marine and has replaced busted docklines for a lot of the boats that rock in the swells at the dock in San Francisco. The default solution there is to chain an old tire to the dock cleat, then tie your docklines to the tire.
So...what to do? Buy a snubber? Go for a whole new system? In the end, we defaulted to a choice that has proven to be brilliant on a few levels. Totem has a few spare fenders on board which can't be inflated thanks to a defective pin fitting. They're quality UV resistant construction and have just enough give in them. There's a handy loop at each end to secure to our lines. So now, we've found a use for something that was "broken" and kept a bunch of plastic out of the landfill in the process. And- it WORKS.
It looks a little silly, sure. However, several weeks later I can confidently say they work exceptionally well. I no longer feel the need to pat a bulkhead and apologize to our boat when she moves with the surge. But about those docklines...
UPDATE: this did not have long term success. The fender bungee did work exceptionally well, right up until it didn't. The extreme surge in the slip ultimately broke the fender, but it did take a few months. Given less extreme conditions, it would probably have been sufficient and a great way to re-purpose something that was otherwise headed for the garbage. Instead, we just used stretchy lines for the remaining handful of months we spent in Brissie.

THE WRITING LIFE about the composition of some of the Profiles the author has written for The New Yorker. A general question about any choice of subject is, Why choose that one over all other concurrent possibilities? Why does someone whose interest is to write about real people and real places choose certain people, certain places? For nonfiction projects, ideas are everywhere. They just go by in a ceaseless stream. Since you may take a month, or ten months, or several years to turn one idea into a piece of writing, what governs the choice? The author once made a list of all the pieces he had written in maybe twenty or thirty years, and then put a check mark beside each one whose subject related to things he had been interested in before he went to college. He checked off more than ninety per cent. The author's father was a medical doctor who dealt with the injuries of Princeton University athletes. He spent summers as the physician at a boys' camp in Vermont. It specialized in canoe trips and taught ecology. Aged six to twenty, the author grew up there, ending as a leader of those trips. He played basketball and tennis there, and on his high-school teams at home, with absolutely no idea that he was building the shells of future pieces of writing. Tells how the author came to write about David Brower, the executive director of the Sierra Club, in a piece called "Encounters with the Archdruid." Readers are not shy with suggestions, and the suggestions are often good but also closer to the passions of the reader than to the writer. Discusses the only two pieces the author wrote from readers' suggestions, "Looking for a Ship" and a Profile of a long-distance truck driver. Describes going to the dedication of Lady Bird Johnson Grove, in Redwood National Park, in 1969. On that trip, he met George Hartzog, the director of the National Park Service, who became the subject of an article. Author recalls how he came to write about the All-American Futurity, an annual race for two-year-old quarter horses in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Describes going to see the film that was adapted from that piece. Also discusses the progression of formal and structural challenges the author has set for himself during his career.

I can't get to a gym but we have an olympic standard home gym. That's great for most exercises but I'm having trouble with calves.
Hubby suggested I lay the EZ bar over my knees while placing the balls of my feet on a chunky bit of wood which works great but.....
I can lift waaaay more on my calves than I can safely lift up to my knees! I'm not getting the burn and getting a seated and/or standing calf raise machine is out of the question as we don't have space for it (and it's unaffordable right now).
First time I did BFL in 2000, I was raising 50kg (or it might even have been more) at the 6rep mark. Using the EZ bar, I'm only getting 10kg because of the upper body involvement.
Ideas please??????
Body for LIFE, not body for 12 weeks!
Have you tried the calf raises on stairs? Do you have dumbbells? I did one leg calf raises with different wts. You can also angle your toes in on the stairs and raise like that for a different burn on the calves.
Hope this helps.
Oh I also did dumbbell jumps; up on toes, jump as high as you can land on your toes...good burn as well! =)
DebMO :0) Blessed to be a Blessing...
I workout at home too. Here is what I do for calves...and often times my rep count is pretty high to get to failure with them.
- I let me heels hang over the edge of the stairs and do raises. You can do this with with weights in your hand...a bar on your shoulder
- I do seated calf raises with dumbbells resting on my knees
- I put the olympic bar on my shoulders like I'm doing squats and do calf raises standing
- I break each set into 3rds approximately. Feet pointing out/pointing in/pointing straight ahead. This works the calf from every angle.
If I had an actual calf machine I could load a lot more weight, but without that...this is some of the variations I do. Like I said, it takes me more reps than 10-12 to work them out, but I get it done. I also would suggest slowing the reps down. Even with light weight, it doesn't take long to get a burn when you slow it down in my experience....good luck and be creative with it.
Thanks for the tips - just wish I had stairs! LOL
I didn't check this thread before I did my LB this morning so I'll try some of the ideas this afternoon! Won't hurt to work them out again today I'm sure :-)
This morning I placed a short length of wood next to the cross trainer and used that to balance (I have inner ear problems - balance is not good). Without weight, I just went until I started shaking and the burn was too much and did that a few times. I alternated between feet wide and feet together. Seems I can do more reps with feet together so those muscles must be stronger.
Next time I might hold a 5kg weight across my chest to add the weight too.
Thanks again - I really appreciate the input.

New iPhone connector threatens car compatibility
BMW started the trend in 2004, offering native integration between car and iPod. Now almost every new car sold has some method of plugging in an iPhone or iPod. This integration is very convenient for drivers, as they can select music from the device through a car's own stereo controls.
However, reports of a smaller, 19-pin connector for the iPhone 5, replacing the current 30-pin connector, may bork iPhone integration with car stereos. Short of getting a new car to match your shiny new iPhone, what is a driver to do?
The good news is that many cars, such as those from Ford, BMW, and Honda, use a standard USB port to connect to the existing white iPhone cable. The new 19-pin connector is likely to use the same sort of adapter cable as current iPhones and iPods, so should plug right in. However, those existing cars may not be able to decode the signal from the iPhone 5 and its connector, depending on how much Apple reengineers its interface.… Read more

ECB set to consider Twenty20 proposals
The future shape of Twenty20 cricket in this country will be discussed by the hierarchy of the England and Wales Cricket Board tomorrow.
Proposals for the expansion of the 20-over format, and an increase in its profile and earning capacity in England, will be discussed in a board meeting at Lord's.
Any approved suggestions for a new competition will then be put on the table for approval by the county chairmen, who meet at the same venue on Wednesday.
Two sets of plans have found their way into the public domain thus far: the first involving franchises based on the Indian Premier League and another incorporating all 18 first-class counties.
The second is the brainchild of former ECB deputy chairman Mike Soper and an alternative to the more selective competition envisaged by MCC secretary Keith Bradshaw and Surrey chairman David Stewart, which would involve only the nine counties with Test grounds.
Under those proposals, the smaller counties would participate in a separate Twenty20 tournament held on Friday evenings.
It has attracted criticism from the smaller counties, who believe it would create a financial division between the haves and have-nots, and is not expected to gain enough support to be put into practice.
But Soper has devised a plan which, he says, would improve facilities and capacities to help generate more revenue.
"At the moment only the Test match grounds have the sort of capacity to cope with an upsurge in public demand," Soper said.
"To make money for the whole of cricket I believe we should have two leagues of nine, split into Test match grounds and non-Test match grounds.
"For the first three years, whatever the money is from TV and sponsors - and I have heard sums of between £40 and £50million - should be split on a basis of two thirds to the large grounds and one third to the non Test match grounds.
"But the non-Test match grounds have to be helped to improve their facilities and increase their capacity. Therefore I propose that the Test match grounds lose £500,000 of their annual ECB hand-out, presently £1.3 million, and that half million goes to the nine smaller grounds to help them to finance ground improvements."
Any 'English Premier League' format is expected to replace the unloved Pro40 competition.
The more exclusive proposals by MCC, Surrey, Hampshire and Lancashire would see the new tournament spanning 25 days between June and July, from the 2010 summer onwards.
Despite projections of a £50million profit in its first year and potential to generate £85million a year to be shared between the ECB, many of the smaller counties have complained it would result in a wealth gap in the domestic game.
But a statement from Bradshaw and Stewart read: "We make no apologies for preparing this board discussion paper as we strongly believe that the idea of an English Twenty20 tournament, taking the best from the Indian Premier League and combining it with the strengths of the English game, is worthy of considerable debate and discussion.
"It was the intention of the paper to stimulate discussion and, if the idea is welcomed by the Board, we want to engage all the counties in a consultative process. We welcome the debate that will now take place.
"There already has been speculation about whether such a tournament can generate extra revenue for cricket. We are aware of significant interest from potential financial backers and are confident that a tournament, along the lines we set out in the paper, can generate considerable revenues for all 18 counties and the grass roots of the game."

Viewer Comments: Trigeminal Neuralgia (Facial Nerve Pain) - Treatment
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Trigeminal Neuralgia (Facial Nerve Pain):
Trigeminal Neuralgia (Facial Nerve Pain) - Treatment
What treatments were effective for your trigeminal neuralgia?
Comment from: PW55, 55-64 Male Published: December 15
I have had trigeminal neuralgia (TN) for almost five years. I use pharmaceutical drugs only as a last resort. I use natural methods of controlling TN. I've found several that help: fasting, controlling fat intake (helpful also in multiple sclerosis [MS]), applying Tiger Balm or capsaicin cream to the areas of pain, Sinus Buster nasal spray (which somehow cuts the pain feedback loop/interrupts it), plenty of sleep, and exercise, along with protective gear when I go outdoors in the cold or wind.
Comment from: stevie, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: December 06
I just recently started having TN facial pain. One of the most painful things I've ever experienced, and comes on so suddenly. I have found that wet rags heated in the microwave, or in hot water, then applied to the area of pain does really help.
Comment from: Lea, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: November 24
I have been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. My doctor wasn't sure at first, but the symptoms were classic. She prescribed gabapentin, and it is helping. I went to see my neurologist yesterday, and it was confirmed. He is tweaking my medication to aid in longer relief.

Comment from: Starry, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: October 18
I have been suffering from misdiagnosed trigeminal neuralgia for the past six years. Not one of my dentists, periodontists, endodontists, or oral surgeons could "see" anything...the oral surgeon even took a biopsy to see if I had Sjrogen's disease (it was negative). It was a miracle that I needed to see a Pain Management physician for lower back pain. I mentioned my jaw issue, and after a few minutes of tests, he immediately diagnosed my neuralgia. After two injections of steroids with numbing agents (one time under Propofol), there is no relief yet. I am being referred to a UCLA neurosurgeon, and after reading comments on this site, I am very encouraged and excited to make progress.

Comment from: rstrat1995, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: August 30
Had TN in 1998. I had TN in all 3 branches of the nerve. After trying all medications available then I decided on an MVD due to its record at that time as most successful and longest acting. I was in luck. No pain, no medication since then and a talented neurosurgeon. I was 71 at that time, 83 now. It was a miracle. J. Stratton, Greensboro NC
Comment from: Shingled, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: July 26
Ask your healthcare professionals about shingles (varicella zoster). It is said that T3, T4, and the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve are the areas most commonly affected. It sounds like some people may be experiencing PHN (postherpetic neuralgia).
Comment from: Mandz, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: July 08
One Monday morning I woke up with a pain and thought it was a painful toothache, went to the dentist and still the pain could not go away. I thought it was a headache and was rushed to hospital. On the 3rd day my doctor discovered that I have trigeminal neuralgia.
Published: May 17
Suffers, please research Gamma Knife radiological surgery. It can help eliminate the pain.
Comment from: Barbara, 55-64 Female Published: May 07
I have had this condition for about ten years now. I used the anti-epilepsy drug, carbamazine for a while. It worked well, but it made me sleepy. Then I started on the antidepressant, Effexor. It has helped me very well and I haven't had the pain in years. I hope this can help someone.
Comment from: Mack, 75 or over Male (Patient) Published: May 07
I have a recurring pain in the right side of my nose that radiates to include the area around my right eye. After seeing various specialists and having a CAT scan, MRI, and various blood tests, and taking an anti-seizure medication prescribed by a neurologist, I still have the pain, and it comes and goes. Resorting to self-treatment, I found one thing that mitigates the pain: the cold sore salve, Carmex. I take a cotton swab, place some Carmex on it, and apply it to the highest areas it will reach inside my right nostril. It helps! I hope this helps at least some co-sufferers.

text: IndianOil was the first company to introduce the concept of LPG rural marketing. This was designed to be essentially a mobile LPG bottling plant which penetrated rural markets refilling cylinders in remote places. This concept was mooted largely to counter the extensive deforestation that takes place in rural areas. It has since contributed immensely to the preservation of the environment and helped limit the use of conventional fuels like firewood.

What:s in Your Wallet, Cash or Card?

What:s in Your Wallet, Cash or Card?
Spekeröd, Sweden
Unarmed transport truck was disabled by robbers last week just outside of Statoil. As has been the trend of late, some type of explosive was used to blast a huge hole in the truck, and 500-kronor bills made for great wet-paper-sticks-to-tires-on-rainy-day for passersby.
We had a shortage of money at ATMs in Göteborg. No money was transported to/from ATMs this weekend past due to this event. Deemed too dangerous right now. If you didn:t have money in hand before the weekend, you had your hopes on places that accepted bank cards.
Brings up this question I have for you:
Cash or card? Which do you prefer, and why?
Cash is fine for the small stuff, but I use my VISA card for almost everything for 2 very, very good reasons:
Like that 30 to 45 day float
Of greater importance, I love earning those dollar for dollar frequent flyer points on my USAir VISA card, that also includes United.
And needless to say I have not paid a finance charge in over 20 years.
Credit Card whenever possible.
Lost cash is gone. Lost cc can be cancelled. Instant Receipt , Record of expenses ( my goal is everything deductible) and the float..
you gotta have both. debits, credits, change, paper money, gold and diamonds. its funny but the super rich almost never have any cash on them.
my bro-in law went golfing with 2 multi millionaires and the club didnt accept credit cards! my bro-in law had a lot of cash on hand cause he was on vacation. he ended up paying for the whole thing. about $300.00
see- the rich do get richer
Good point on the cash.. I do rathole cash for emergencies.. like serious cash discounts for home and car repairs.. and paying greens fees for rich folks who won't admit to having any cash...n em..
Oh, and always have a backup credit card. More times than I care to remember, my card company's fraud alert folks have put my primary card on deactivated mode. Just happened again two nights ago. Apparently someone from AOL was trying to get access to my card, but had the wrong expiration date. I find out when the card is failing to work at the grocery store. It also happens sometimes on extended trips, where they see too many transactions in too many distant places.
LOL. I usually have one or two dollars, and rely heavily on the debit card.
That and the points. Have a couple of credit cards and a debit card which I never use and usually a bunch of USAnian and Canuck cash and some USAnian travellers cheques. If the timing is wrong, it can be a few bucks. Coming home from up north one Sunday and noticed that I didn't have my wallet on me. Tore the truck apart and then managed to figure out that I likely left it at the store where I had bought the papers. Sure enough, clerk remembers a very helpful woman who was two behind me saying to the kid that was right behind me(while he was leaving the store) about the wallet that was on the counter:
"That your wallet?"
"Why yes, thank-you."
I'm the idiot here for just leaving it there but the kid had a lot of balls and the woman and clerk probably shouldn't have let it happen. I wouldn't have.
Start working the next day to replace everything in it and get a call from a very excited lady from the post office about a hundred miles from where I left it:
"Are you ever going to be glad you are talking to me."
"Someone dropped your wallet in a mailbox." Kind of nice of the kid I suppose.
"That's great. Thanks. Was there any money in it?"
Her voice is now no longer excited.
"No-was there some in it?"
"Yes-about 1000.00."
Ever the optimist, I tried looking at the bright side and that is that getting the wallet back probably saved me about 1000.00 in time replacing everything. Pretty lame but the best I could do. If it would have been CSI, they would have dusted it for prints and caught the guy. No one was interested in that.
The problem with cash is that since it is already out of my bank account, it is too easy to spend.
The problem with debit cards are that they are too convienent.
i usually just carry the debit and little or no cash. the only time things are different is when i go to a bar or something and have to decide whether or not i want to just bring how much cash i want to spend or just the card and open a tab(ive found this is convienent since you only tip at the end and can base that on the overall service)
[quote="lonewolf49"]Maybe I am missing something here but why debit cards? Why forego the float on credit cards?[/quote]
I'm with you lone wolf. For the life of me I just cannot see why anyone would use debit instead of credit, as long as they have the wherewithall to PAY IT ALL OFF EVERY SINGLE MONTH. AS we both have said, it's free money for 1 to 1 1/2 months, plus frequent flyer points or other such perqs.
One issue I have here is that not every establishment has the convenience available for patrons to use bank cards. Too expensive, owners say. Instead, they lose business to someone down the street who has a card reader. Wonder how many thousands of kronor every year, on an average, these owners lose on missed opportunity... if it outweighs the cost of installing and paying for a machine.

UNEP-WCMC produces reports for a number of fora including CITES, the European Commission and the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS). Recent examples of these reports can be downloaded here in PDF format.Resource Type: Reports
This study demonstrates the utility of carbon isotope discrimination in describing genetic adaptation to arid environments, although it is probably most useful in detecting differentiation when the strategy of the species under investigation is to increase water use efficiency, rather than drought-avoidance. The results suggest that populations on the eastern and western sides of the Andes should be treated as separate management units for the purposes of conserving the genetic resource of this species.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Tropical trees in the genus Aquilaria Lam. are the principal source of gaharu, one of the most valuable forest products traded internationally. Although these species are the focus of increasing conservation concern, information on their status and distribution is lacking. Information from herbarium accessions, a national forest inventory (NFI), field surveys and gaharu traders was used to assess the distribution of Aquilaria species in Indonesia, indicating population concentrations in Sumatra and eastern Kalimantan.
Given current deforestation rates, these data suggest that all Aquilaria species in Indonesia classify as Vulnerable according to the IUCN Red List criteria.Resource Type: Journal Papers
The threatened Chilean conifer Podocarpus salignus D. Don is currently the focus of ex situ conservation eorts being undertaken by the Conifer Conservation Programme of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. To assess variation within in and ex situ populations of the species, leaf material collected from four wild populations was analysed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD).
RAPD was found to be an effective tool for assessing the genetic structure of P. salignus, for providing a guide to future germplasm-sampling strategies, and for hybrid identification. Implications for genetic conservation of the species and the role of ex situ approaches are discussed.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Fagus grandifolia var. mexicana (Mexican beech) is limited to about 10 populations (2-35 ha) in the Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico. The objectives were to assess the current status and distribution of beech by surveying five sites. Species richness varied between three to 27 tree species in the canopy, and from nine to 29 species in the understorey. Basal area of trees greater than or equal to 5 cm dbh varied between 27.87 and 70.98 m2 ha-1, and density from 370 to 1290 individual ha-1. Beech represented 22-99.6 of total basal area, and 6.8-83.3 of total density. Beech dominance varied from monodominant to codominance with Carpinus caroliniana, Quercus spp., Liquidambar styraciflua, Magnolia schiedeana, and Podocarpus spp. Beech total population size ranged from 180 to 6300 trees with a total of less than 1300 individuals in four sites. Anthropogenic disturbance remains a major threat to these forests. It is uncertain whether Mexican beech will be able to survive without conservation efforts.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Araucaria araucana (Monkey Puzzle), a southern South American tree species of exceptional cultural and economic importance, is of conservation concern owing to extensive historical clearance and current human pressures. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to characterise genetic heterogeneity within and among 13 populations of this species from throughout its natural range.
Although populations are geographically divided into Chilean Coastal, Chilean Andes and Argentinean regions, this grouping explained only 1.77 of the total variation. Within Andean groups there was evidence of a trend of genetic distance with increasing latitude, and clustering of populations across the Andes, suggesting postglacial migration routes from multiple refugia. Implications of these results for the conservation and use of the genetic resource of this species are discussed.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Aquilaria spp. (Thymelaeaceae) are the principal source of Gaharu, a valuable resin, yet information about their reproductive ecology is almost entirely lacking. Individuals of six species (A. beccariana, A. crasna, A. filaria, A. hirta, A. malaccensis and A. microcarpa) in cultivation in Indonesia were investigated to assess reproductive phenology, pollination, seed production and germination. Seed production and seedling dispersion were also assessed in natural populations of A. beccariana, A. malaccensis and A. microcarpa in Kalimantan.
The results indicate that Aquilaria spp. have high reproductive potential, but suggest that seed dispersal might be limited in natural forests. The implications of these results for the management of Aquilaria spp. are discussed.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Aquilaria malaccensis (Thymelaeaceae) is the principal source of gaharu, one of the most valuable tropical forest products in international trade. Despite its economic importance, the autecology of this species is virtually unknown. Seedling growth and survival of A. malaccensis was monitored over a 15-month period in natural forest in West Kalimantan. Mean height growth rate was 21.2 + 2.3 cm year1, and was positively related to light availability (i^= 0.79, p < 0.001), but unrelated to distance to the nearest mature tree or seedling density. By the end of the observation period, fewer than 20% of seedlings surveyed initially were still alive, trampling and cutting being one of the main causes of mortality. A nursery experiment examined the influence of soil (two treatments), light availability (four treatments) and seedling density (four treatments) on growth. Although a decrease in irradiance was associated with significantly (p < 0.01, t - test) lower values for height and stem diameter, seedlings were able to survive under the low light treatment. Lower height growth rates and leaf increment were observed with higher seedling densities on the more fertile soil; no such effects of density were observed on the relatively infertile soil. The implications of these results for the sustainable management of A. malaccensis are discussed.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Aquilaria spp. are the main source of gaharu, one of the most valuable non-timber products harvested from tropical forests. In order to assess the impact of gaharu harvesting on populations of Aquilaria spp. in Indonesia, the activities of gaharu collectors were assessed by accompanying them on collecting expeditions.
Given current harvesting practices, it is unlikely that gaharu is being sustainably harvested at present. The results suggest that the gaharu trade may have had a substantial impact on the population size of Aquilaria spp. in Indonesia, and their implications are discussed in the context of setting harvest quotas for regulation of trade, as required by CITES.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Several populations of Fitzroya cupressoides (Mol.) Johnst. (Cupressaceae, common name 'alerce'), a threatened, long-lived conifer endemic to southern Chile and parts of Argentina, have recently been found in Chile's Central Depression, where the species was thought to have been extirpated. The objective of this study was to determine, on eight sites in the Depression, Fitzroya's regeneration behavior in relation to disturbance, its substrate and cover requirements for establishment, and whether regeneration is by seed or vegetative means.
Despite substantial environmental differences between the Central Depression and the portions of the Coastal and Andean Cordilleras where Fitzroya is found, populations in all three regions show striking similarities in their regeneration and stand dynamics. Fitzroya's longevity and at times abundant regeneration provide the biological basis for its persistence in Chile's Central Depression.Resource Type: Journal Papers

What is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary Incontinence is unchecked leakage or dribbling of urine from the bladder. It is fairly common in spayed bitches and is also seen in neutered male dogs.
Urinary Incontinence
Select a Topic
Urinary Incontinence is unchecked leakage or dribbling of urine from the bladder. It is fairly common in spayed bitches and is also seen in neutered male dogs.
If your pet is suffering from urinary incontinence, puddles of urine will appear without your pet assuming the normal position for urination. Urine may also leak out when your pet jumps or gets up from lying down, or might even dribble out while your pet is lying down.
Often the hair around the vulva or prepuce will be wet or you might just notice a strong smell of urine when your pet is close to you. Your pet will be unaware of this inability to retain urine and will appear otherwise healthy if the underlying cause for the incontinence is not due to injury or disease.
Urinary incontinence is most often due to inadequate closure of the urethral sphincter: a circle of muscles that normally contract and stop urine flowing out of the bladder. It is most common in large breed, spayed female dogs with up to 20% of dogs falling into this category developing urinary incontinence.
Incontinence may also be seen in intact females, male dogs and cats. Incontinence may develop following spinal injury due to damage to the nerve supply of the bladder. Cystitis, bladder stones, tumors of the bladder and submissive behavior can also be characterized by episodes of incontinence.
After being spayed, surgery in which the uterus and the ovaries are removed (ovariohysterectomy), the levels of oestradiol decrease in your dog's body. This decrease in oestradiol causes the tissues of the urogenital system shrink and therefore the urethral sphincter does not close as tightly as it would and leakage of urine occurs. Pets with urinary incontinence are sometimes described as having "weak bladders".
Incontinence due to low levels of oestradiol is treated either with hormone supplements such as diethylstilboestrol (DES) or with drugs that act on the muscles of the urethral sphincter to improve tone and maximize urethral closure pressure. Both of these treatments are not without side effects with DES causing marked suppression of the bone marrow and the other drugs affecting the heart or causing hypertension, restlessness and anorexia.
Herbal and homeopathic remedies have been used for centuries to treat a number of conditions. Ingredients such as Arctostaphylos uva ursi, Berberis vulgaris, Cantharis C6 and Staphysagris C6 can be used to support and promote bladder health – and the good news is, they can do this without the side effects and potential health complications that conventional medicines sometimes have.

I know what you're thinking: I'm showing you a tree in all of its autumn splendor. Actually, this is what a flamingo Chinese cedar (Toona sinensis 'Flamingo') looks like now, with its fresh spring leaves.
When I saw it (at the University of CA, Davis, Arboretum last week) it made me realize that coral is my probably my favorite color for leaves or flowers. It's gorgeous combined with shades of green, especially those with a hint of blue. Or in the case of the flamingo tree, with blue sky behind it. Continue Reading →

Once thought too potent for female consumption, gentlemen excused themselves from the dinner table and feminine companionship to retire for a Port and a good cigar. Happily, it is now a gender-neutral libation.
Portugal's wine history pre-dates Roman antiquity. In the 15th and 16th centuries Portugal became a great trading nation. When England and France were at odds, the British turned to wines from Portugal in lieu of favored Bordeaux.
Portuguese wines traveled twice the distance of their Bordeaux counterparts to reach England, often spoiling in transit until it was determined that adding a dose of brandy preserved them for traveling.
Later, winemakers learned that adding brandy early in the winemaking process created a new style of wine, with a preserved rich color and concentrated sweetness. The added brandy arrested fermentation before yeast converted all the grape sugars into alcohol.
The resulting sweet wines traveled well and became a great hit with the English, many of whom invested in Portuguese wineries and shipping firms. Today, many top Port houses carry British names and still have British ties.
The British developed a unique Port etiquette still used by those who take their Port seriously. Proper British manners dictate that, when serving Port, the host first picks up the decanted Port and pours a glass for the person seated to his right, then passes the decanter to the diner on his left, who then pours for the person on his right, passing the decanter to the left until everyone at table is served.
If, after being served, a diner desires another glass and no one offers to pass the Port, the diner turns to the person nearest the Port and inquires if they know the Bishop of Norwich. If the person being queried answers negatively, then the person requesting the Port replies, "I say, he is an awfully nice fellow, but he never remembers to pass the Port."
Port comes in basically two styles: ruby and tawny. Both styles spend time in wooden casks. Tawny spends a longer time, and over the years of aging is exposed to more oxygen. This oxidization gives the wine its tawny color and nutty taste.
Ruby ports spend less time in barrels, thus receiving less exposure to oxygen. They retain their ruby color and are ready for consumption when bottled.
There are many different categories within these two styles. All Ports are blends, usually of several different varietals and vintages.
The most expensive and rare Port is Vintage Port, coming from a single harvest of exceptional quality. Vintage Ports are aged in casks for a short period of time before bottling and put down to age further for several years. They retain their ruby color but take on additional nuances as they age.
Port may be served as an aperitif along with hors d'oeuvres. I find it especially yummy with bleu cheese-stuffed olives or as dessert with fruit, cheese, nuts and chocolate.
Port has longevity after opening. Properly sealed and stored in the refrigerator, it retains vitality for several weeks.
Port should be served slightly chilled in the proper glass. In the absence of a Port glass, use a white wine glass, because, like other wines, Port needs room to breathe and evolve.
Don't settle for cheap imitations when an array of the real thing from Portugal is available locally. Try one of these:
Graham's "Six Grapes" Porto. $25.50. At Tyson Fine Wines and Things in Golden Springs. Graham's calls this their "discovery Port." I call it yummy. Made by the Symington family from the same grapes used in their Vintage Port, but unlike Vintage Port ready to drink upon release. Great as an aperitif.
Fonseca Bin 27. $20 at The Wine Cellar on Quintard. Much like "Six Grapes" but by a different Port producer. Ready to drink when released.
Graham's 20 Years Tawny Port. $59.50. Expensive but delicious. Nutty and creamy with flavor hints of fig preserves and caramel. Better for desserts like spice cake or crème brulée.

Hey everyone,
I found a thread kind of similair to this issue..but it wasn't very clear so I thought I'd re-post...
Yesterday I wanted to add the mobileinstallation file on my Ipod Touch via SCP. So like an idiot I deleted everything I already had in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileInstallation.framework folder and added a new set of files I picked up from a tutorial on adding mobile installation files from youtube (another dumb move).
I restarted my touch and all it does is stay at the apple boot screen. However I can still access the ipod touch in itunes and am still able to access it via scp. However every 5 minutes the touch reboots.
If anyone can help me I would be in your debt. If i have to restore...(last option) is there anyway to do a backup first? apps? songs? games?
Ipod firmware is 2.2.1

Forget cheap tickets and free popcorn. Those were just the tip of the iceberg, Some NHL teams are ready to use big discounts and once-in-a-lifetime experiences to bring casual fans back after the lockout. Here's a sneak peek at some upcoming promos.
In the exciting conclusion of H.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Revenues" trilogy, the war for Hockey-earth is finally decided. Strider Scot L. Arabaugh readies for battle, while hobbit Grodo Bettmins attempts to conquer the horrors of Mount Lockout.
The NHL selected young LeBron Matlock first overall in its 2012 Lawyer Draft. The hot shot attorney from Ohio thinks he can step right into the legal team's line-up for the league's recently-filed suit against the NHLPA. Does he have what it takes?
Tuesday's meeting between NHL owners and players is supposed to jumpstart the stalled CBA negotiations. But our source says it's meant to serve a more sinister purpose: to be a surprise birthday party for Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs.
Games in Los Angeles, Washington and Pittsburgh in addition to home games against the Blackhawks and Ducks are among the casualties as 12 Sharks games were wiped clean from the NHL schedule today along with the rest of the league's November games.
News & analysis from around the league.
It's becoming more and more clear that the real sticking point in the current negotiations between the NHL and NHLPA involve what defines hockey-related revenue and other news and notes from around the NHL.
The Stars announced a new partnership with UT-Southwestern as their official medical care provider, and one hockey blogger has some questions about the ethics of that, along with other news and notes from around the NHL.
Gary Bettman stated the league will not operate another season under the current collective bargaining agreement.
The NHL's realignment plan was, at its heart, a public relations masterstroke by the league that has the NHLPA firmly in the villain's role heading into the next CBA negotiations.

Boeing 787 Pilot Report
I'm on board the first Qatar Airways 787 delivery flight from Seattle's Boeing Field to Doha. I'm currently typing this from somewhere over Greenland.
Qatar Airways is the first operator to provide wireless connectivity (through OnAir and Thales) on the Boeing 787 (this aircraft is A7-BCB), and I'm taking advantage of that by bringing you these photos. Joe Walker snapped them from the ground as I departed Boeing Field on Tuesday.
I've been tweeting since we got airborne, and in doing so, I gained the honour of being the very first person to tweet from an airborne Boeing 787 (thanks to WSJ's Jon Ostrower for pointing this out).
You can follow my updates and photos from the flight at @AvWeekRupa.

NDSU athletic department reacts to the petition fraud chargesFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- For the third time since the start of Fall Camp, Players on the NDSU Football team are caught up in the Cass County Legal system. But is the University worried about a possible negative reputation?
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- For the third time since the start of Fall Camp, Players on the NDSU Football team are caught up in the Cass County Legal system. But is the University worried about a possible negative reputation?
From traffic violations to indecent exposure, to voter fraud, the allegations against these student-athletes run the gamut. In the eyes of the law some of these charges are more serious than others. But the NDSU athletic department is taking a different course of action.
Gene Taylor/NDSU Athletic Director: "In terms of other things that kids get in trouble for, student athletes across the country, I do not think this rates where they should be suspended for a certain amount of time."
The Eight NDSU football players are being charged with a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in prison and a 2-thousand dollar fine. Linebacker Brandon Jemison is facing a lesser Class B misdemeanor charge for indecent exposure, but has already been kicked off the team.
Taylor: "Felonies, DUI's, violence, theft, things of sexual nature are very different than putting names on a petitions."
And when asked about the question of consistency, Taylor stood behind his coach.
Taylor: "I am not concerned about how he is handling this, at all."
The alleged voter fraud comes in an election year A time when Americans rejoice in the democratic process. But, according to Taylor, something that probably wasn't on the minds of these eight players.
Taylor: "Those kids don't know that, they were hired to get signatures on a petition and they didn't get them and they turned them in."
As for whether this could leave a black mark on a University and a football team with 9 national championships?
Taylor: "Still going to play football and these guys are going to be a part of the team at the end of the day, one way or the other."
We reached out to the Presidents office, but Dean Brescani wouldn't do any interviews.

Diagnostic medical sonographers use special imaging equipment that directs sound waves into a patient's body (in a procedure commonly known as an ultrasound, sonogram, or echocardiogram) to assess and diagnose various medical conditions. Most diagnostic medical sonographers work in hospitals. Some work in physicians' offices or imaging clinics. Sonographers may be on their feet for long periods and may need to lift or turn disabled patients.
Sokanu matches you to one of over 500 careers by analyzing your personality, interests, and needs in life. Take the free assessment now to see your top career recommendations!
Diagnostic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. The sonographer presses an instrument called an ultrasound transducer to the parts of the patient's body that are being examined. The transducer emits pulses of sound that bounce back, causing echoes. The echoes are then sent to the ultrasound machine, which processes them and displays them as images. Some responsibilities of a diagnostic medical sonographer include:
Diagnostic medical sonographers specialize in different parts of the body. The following are examples of specific types of sonographers: - Abdominal sonographers specialize in imaging a patient's abdominal cavity and nearby organs, such as the kidney, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, or spleen.
Diagnostic medical sonographers need formal education, such as an associate's degree or a postsecondary certificate. Many employers also require professional certification. Colleges and universities offer both associate's and bachelor's degree programs in sonography. One-year certificate programs also are available, although these are usually useful only to those who are already employed in related healthcare jobs, such as nursing. Employers prefer a degree or certificate from an accredited institute or hospital program. The accredited programs usually follow a specific course of study and include clinical training. These programs also include courses in medical terminology and interpreting sonographic images. Most programs are divided into the specialized fields that correspond to the relevant certification exams, such as abdominal sonography or breast sonography.
Some sonographers graduate with a degree in radiologic technology or nursing and then receive on-the-job training by their employer. High school students who are interested in diagnostic medical sonography should take courses in anatomy, physiology, and mathematics. Most employers prefer to hire sonographers who have professional certification. A sonographer can get certification by graduating from an accredited program and passing an exam. Most exams relate to the specialty that the sonographer is most interested in—for example, an exam to be become certified in abdominal sonography.
Diagnostic medical sonographers must follow precise instructions to obtain the images needed to diagnose and treat the patient. They also must pay attention to the screen while scanning a patient's body because the cues that contrast healthy areas with unhealthy ones may be subtle. To get quality images, diagnostic medical sonographers must be able to move equipment on the patient's body in response to what they see on the screen. Diagnostic medical sonographers must work closely with patients. Sometimes patients are in extreme pain or mental stress, and the sonographer must get cooperation from the patient to create usable images. Diagnostic medical sonographers work on their feet for long periods and must be able to lift and move patients who need assistance. Diagnostic medical sonographers must understand how to operate complex machinery and computerized instruments.
Diagnostic medical sonographers do most of their work at diagnostic imaging machines in dimly lit rooms, but they may also perform procedures at patients' bedsides. Sonographers may be on their feet for long periods and may need to lift or turn patients who are disabled.
The median annual wage of diagnostic medical sonographers was $64,380 in May 2010. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $44,900, and the top 10 percent earned more than $88,490.

Oftentimes the fall and spring semesters can be overly hectic for students – a full-time course load, student club responsibilities, work, internship commitments, and social obligations. This busy time forces students to focus mainly on their academic progress which doesn't always allow freedom to explore a new interest or take advantage of the many cultural resources that originally drew them to New York City. January Term provides an array of courses enabling students to earn academic credit (major, minor, or elective) in courses that are in high–demand, to accelerate degree completion and to concentrate on personal interests.
The following students are eligible to apply for January Term:
Visiting students should work with their home institution to ensure that the courses they participate in at NYU will transfer back to the school where they will receive their degree.
Students in the categories below should not apply as a visiting student for January Term:
Students who are currently matriculated in an NYU degree program are able to earn credits toward their degree through NYU January Term. NYU students must register on Albert; please do not submit the January Term Visit Student Application. For information about University deadlines, check the academic calendar.
Students who wish to matriculate at New York University and receive a degree from NYU should apply as a freshman, graduate, or transfer student. They should not apply for visiting student status.
Students who are interested in earning graduate credit for January Term courses must apply through the Admissions office of the school that offers the course of interest. Click on the links below to contact the school of your choice.
*Please note that graduate-level Stern courses (-GB) are not open to visiting students. For admissions information, please visit the Stern Admissions page.
Students who plan to accept an offer of admission to NYU as a transfer or graduate student must contact the appropriate admissions office for clearance to register and for further instructions. Do not submit the January Term Visiting Student Application.

No matter how awesome your product, if you don't have the right chemistry with whomever you're pitching, there's a strong chance it will be rejected. That's because marketing is ultimately all about influence, says Rohit Bhargava, marketing expert and author of the book Likeanomics (Wiley, 2012). And influence is not just about showing people what you can do, it's about showing people what you can do for them.
Bhargava discusses important marketing factors from reputation to relationships and how to cultivate each. He shares his own story of how he launched his career and the unforgettable mistakes he's learned along the way.

The Adaptibility of AWS by Lisa Grupe, Ph.D.
What does AWS have in common with bacteria? Adaptability! Bacteria continue to proliferate, adapt and morph even in the face of modern medicine. They are amazing microorganisms, adapting to almost any threat and emerging stronger as a result. In its almost 30 year history, AWS has met many challenges and, as a result, it has become more streamlined, more nimble, and more efficient.
Waldorf Olympics 2013 by AWS Parent, Dave Hall
Dave Hall participated in the 5th graders' 2013 Southeastern Waldorf Olympics as a chaperone. In this excerpt from his blog post he writes about how the experience went beyond his expectations
"...What I didn't know was how drawn in I would become, how in two short days I would come to care for and take a special interest in kids I'll probably never see again, or how vital I would come to see this experience and how awesome it is I have a wife who'd be so insistent that this is the way our children would be educated."

3rd Grade Gardeningfrom Melissa Downs
"We have been using Wednesday afternoons to prepare and plant our garden. Each student had three square feet of space and chose three different vegetables to plant. Before we ever put seeds in the garden, we tilled the soil, added some soil amendments, and built little one-foot fences to mark out the different garden plots. Then we planted our cool weather vegetables – carrots, peas, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, beets, radishes, and onions. And just before spring break, we were rewarded with the sight of many seedlings!"
Biennial State of the School Address: Where we're going and how we plan to get There!
On Thursday, February 7th, parents and teachers met in the school auditorium to hear Administrator Lisa Grupe's biennial State of the School address. After being asked to complete a brief survey (see results in the sidebar), Dr. Grupe led a powerpoint presentation which gave a brief overview of the school's historical benchmarks, how we got where we are today, and what we need to do to become sustainable, both as a nonprofit business and an educational community.
Astronomy in Grade 6
The following is an excerpt from a typical 3-week Astronomy Block Rotation. This particular Astronomy block was taught in Ms. Grupe's combined 5th/6th grade class..."The skills that the students develop with compass and straight edge will be put to use again as we depict the arcs and circles that describe the paths of the stars in different quadrants of the sky. Our study of Astronomy will be based primarily on observations made with the unaided eye."
Administrator's Ad Lib
When I was first a Waldorf teacher, I thought it was the students that were different. Different in a good way. Thoughtful. Open. Inquisitive. Other-oriented. Ready to challenge. Honest. By the time 5th grade rolled around, I realized it was the parents who were different. Parents who had chosen a feeling-based, whole-child education for their children.
Happy Days Are Here Again! With winter neatly tucked up in the attic, it is time to come out of our cocoons and enjoy the Spring Festival called Holi. Holi - the festival of colors - is undoubtedly the happiest and most fun-filled Hindu festival. It is an occasion that brings joy and mirth, fun and play, music and dance, a delicious variety of foods and, of course, lots of bright colors!
What does an Age-Appropriate Curriculum REALLY mean? by AWS Administrator, Lisa Grupe, Ph.D.
One hundred years ago when Rudolf Steiner founded the first Waldorf school, he created an academic curriculum based around milestones in child development. This past April, AWS Administrator Lisa Grupe, Ph.D. led a discussion about how the Waldorf teaching method incorporates principles of child development and important rites of passage in the classroom each year...
6th Grade History, by AWS teacher Melissa Downs
"The changes that the students experienced this year were well-met by the sixth grade curriculum, which did an excellent job of anchoring the students in the world. We focused on Ancient Rome and the Middle Ages – time periods in which humans became much more grounded in the realities of earth and more separated from the spiritual world of the gods. Though the Romans worshipped their gods and could be very superstitious, they were more firmly anchored to the material world than the Greeks that we studied in fifth grade..."
