The deficiency, deficiency, imbalance and excessive release of any hormone affect our body physically and physiologically. There are currently several online pharmacies available that offer a wide range of steroid products for various health problems. However, it is mainly used by the bodybuilder, the gym professionals, the athlete and people who want to increase muscle mass and additional energy.
However, to get these steroids warehouse products, you must go to reputable pharmacies because they offer a safer and medically proven steroid at reasonable prices. Now you can get a cheap online steroid without any hassle. Anabolic steroids are a synthetic version of testosterone. It has been used to promote the growth of muscles, bones and tissues. There are several types of anabolic steroids, a combination of anabolic and androgenic characteristics. This steroid increases protein synthesis, muscle mass and strength. This steroid is also used for medicinal purposes, such as bone marrow stimulation, growth stimulation, home replacement therapy and the induction of puberty.
Competitive advantage
It is also used by athletes who want to gain a competitive advantage, especially in professional sports. You can also get antiestrogenic steroids, providing a complete health solution associated with the hormone estrogen. It helps to restore various types of sexual dysfunctions and causes ovulation. Different types of steroids are recommended for different types of sexual dysfunctions. Nolvadex is one of the best known antiestrogens commonly used to treat breast cancer.
Proviron or Pro-v is an important antiestrogen that has no anabolic activity, although it is used clinically for men with low sperm count and low sexual desire. Antiestrogen also reduces the risk of lung cancer and breast cancer, which are very common in women after menopause.
How to get adequate result
However, to get an adequate result, you should think that some think like the correct doses, the duration of the intake, the periodic examination performed by a doctor and others. Reliable pharmacies that sell steroids also have a team of bodybuilders and health professionals that can help you buy steroids for you. You can get oral and injectable steroids. Oral steroids are recommended for people who want a quick result.
It immediately enters the bloodstream and quickly shows its anabolic effect. However, injectable steroids are not suitable for everyone and should be taken with a prescription. If you are taking steroids, you should periodically check your blood counts, urinalysis, pH, liver and blood pressure values, and other related tests. This ensures that the steroid does not adversely affect the biochemical mechanism of the body.
However, steroid injections are not prescribed to patients.
Although oral steroids are more beneficial because their function is of short duration and can be used by all types of patients. Pharmacies that sell antiestrogenic products or other steroid products provide a guide and complete instructions for taking steroids. If you are taking steroids, you should periodically check your blood content, urinalysis, pH values, liver and blood pressure values, and other tests. Special steroids are prescribed according to your requirements for body and lifestyle, for example, you need light or full steroids. Online steroids: the best choice for bodybuilders, athletes and gym professionals. These safer steroids complement your level of performance and improve appearance.

'A Dark Night's Passing': Naoya Shiga sounds the depths of rootlessness
by Iain Maloney
It takes a brave writer to make their main character as unlikeable as Kensaku Tokito. It is even more startling because Naoya Shiga was consciously writing within the 'I' novel tradition, where the author deliberately draws on their life story for source material. A Dark ...

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Christmas Gifts (11/13/08)
- TITLE: A Grateful Joy
By Yvonne Blake
Danny pressed his face against the front window. His breath steamed up the glass. Looking at the hole made by his nose in the middle of the cloudy circle, he drew two lopsided eyes and a crooked smile. He wrote D – A –N – N – Y, then rubbed it all away.
"Mommy, do you know what I want most for Christmas?"
Danny's mother tousled his red curls and tapped his freckled nose. "What do you want?"
"I want a digger."
"A digger?"
"Yeah, so I can dig in the dirt."
His mother smiled. "As if you don't get dirty enough already!"
He turned back to the window. Colored bulbs twinkled in the shrubs beneath him, turning his breath on the glass red and green and blue. Car lights pulled into the driveway and lit up his face.
"Grammy's here!"
He ran to open the door, his blue eyes wide with wonder at the colorful packages in her arms. Following her to the living room, he snowballed her with childish curiosity. "Are those for Christmas? Did you know it snowed last night? Which one is mine?"
He picked up a flat, soft package. "J –E –S –S –I , nope that's not mine. It's probably a dress…yuck!" Each gift that Grammy set down, he picked up and shook and read the label.
Finally, he found his… a red, shiny box. He shook it. It doesn't rattle; not Legos or a puzzle or marbles. It's too skinny for a basketball. It's too small for a new bike. Maybe it's a digger!
"Danny, come give me a big hug."
"Ooomph! You're squishing me! What did you get me, Grammy?"
"I'm not going to tell you. It's a secret!"
His mother sent him off to help clean up the playroom before the other guests arrived.
"What did you get him," she asked her mother.
"You're as bad as he is!"
"Oh, come on! I won't tell him."
"I made him the most adorable red sweater with a snowman on it. Wait 'til you see it. He'll look so cute in it."
Turning away to hide her reaction, she thought," I hope so!"
Soon all the family arrived; aunts with food, uncles with packages, and lots of cousins. There were platters of cookies and candies and cakes. The women gathered in the kitchen sharing secret surprises, the men huddled in the family room talking about football, and the kids were everywhere bouncing from basement to the third floor bedrooms.
Each family that arrived brought more gifts to put under the tree. When Uncle Pete finally got there, everyone crammed into the family room. Danny tried to be patient as one by one they opened the mountain of gifts beneath the tree. Whenever he received one, he liked to close his eyes just as he ripped off the paper to reveal the surprise.
"Oh, a toy truck! I love it! It's just what I wanted. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Not really knowing who gave it to him, Danny flitted around the room, hugging and thanking everyone.
It felt more like two weeks instead of two hours for the pile to shrink. Anyone going to the kitchen for more snacks waded through layers of colored paper, boxes, and bows. Various types of music and beeps competed with the buzz and laughter of different conversations. Danny parked his gifts in a corner, gazing at them while he waited.
Finally, the last package under the tree was the red, shiny box from Grammy. He wiggled with anticipation as his mother placed it in front of him, with a sigh. He yanked off the bow and tossed it over his shoulder. With squenched eyelids, he ripped off one side of the paper. Peeking a bit, he saw pictures of a machine with bananas and strawberries. "I love it! It's just what I wanted!"
His Grammy laughed. "No, Danny. I didn't give you a juicer. Open the box."
He closed his eyes again and pulled open the top.
His mother took a deep breath of anticipation as he stared at Grammy's gift to him. For an instant, the sparkle left his eyes and a frown tugged down on the corners of his lips. Then with a squeal and a spring, he pulled out the sweater and lifted it high.
"Oh, I love you, Grammy! It's just what I wanted. Thank you, thank you, thank you," he squealed, as he scurried around the room, filling it with the grateful joy of Christmas.

Objective Standards for Coxswains
As coxswains, we are constantly being evaluated by coaches, rowers, and other coxswains. The frustration is that the rubric by which we are being evaluated is inconsistent, even down to each individual rower in our boat. If we're lucky, we will get occasional feedback from our coaches and rowers but more often than not it comes in passing, or worse, in a team meeting as the coach is naming the boats for the season and it's too late for us to make any changes. The most irritating thing to hear from a coach or rower is "coxswains won't change much over the course of the season (or summer/selection camp)." How can they expect us to improve when we have to beg for feedback at the end of each session and the most valuable response we hear is "just shut up and steer straight"? We give our rowers feedback at least once per minute (some of us significantly more…) and we might get one form of constructive feedback per hour. To be fair, rowers have enough to worry about without coming up with feedback for us after every practice. The main issue is that there isn't a system in place to objectively declare one coxswain as better than another.
It is much easier to objectively qualify one rower as better, or faster, than another. There are several tests we use to determine the physical profiles of rowers, starting with your standard ergometer tests: one stroke max watts test, one minute average watts test, 500 meter test, 1k test, 2k test, twenty minute or 6k test, thirty minute test, 10k test, hour of power, the list goes on and on. Each of these tests tells us a unique physical attribute about our athletes and can be used to directly compare one rower to another. Beyond that we have on the water results: time trials, pairs matrices, seat racing in straight fours, seat racing in coxed fours, seat racing in eights. I have been coxing for over a decade and I have been "seat raced" twice. TWICE! And not only that, the reason for the switch was "not to determine which coxswain can make the boat go faster over 2,000 meters, but an opportunity for the rowers to experience both coxswains under racing conditions, one immediately after the other."
So how do we improve? How do we know what qualities are more desirable than others for coxswains? Sure, anyone standing on the shore can tell the difference between a terrible coxswain and a great one, but how do we distinguish a great coxswain from a phenomenal coxswain? Most importantly, how do we develop the skills required of our position to make the leap from average to good, good to great, or great to phenomenal? Ultimately, we want to acquire the skills necessary to make any boat we cox perform to their highest potential. The first step is to come up with a list of skills that can be assessed quantifiably for each coxswain. The next is to create a hierarchy of these skills to determine which attributes have the greatest effect on boat speed. The third step is to have our coaches and rowers use this standardized rubric on a regular (monthly?) basis so that we can track our improvements over the course of the season or from one year to the next. The hope is that we can establish a consistent method of "rating" coxswains which can be used as a teaching tool and a selection tool. Just as rowers who pull faster 2k's aren't guaranteed a seat over someone who pulls a slower 2k, a higher rated coxswain isn't guaranteed to win out over a lower rated one, but… it's a start.

Community e-Newsletter
June 9, 2019
Note from the Superintendent
As we wrap up the 2018-19 school year, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for a wonderful year. Your support of our students and staff members is so appreciated.
While students are away at summer break, work will continue to happen in the district to position us all to move forward together. One of the areas we'll be working on will be continuing the conversation about the Facilities Planning process that began last fall with a 90-member Facilities Planning Committee. Discussions about the plan continue, and the School Board will decide over the summer whether to put a bond referendum on the ballot in November.
We invite you to stay informed about the process. The Facilities Planning page of the district's website will continue to house the most current and accurate information, including a recently-added FAQ area.
Have a terrific summer, and Go Bears!
Wayne A. Kazmierczak, Ph.D.

Hi. My name is Jamie Courville and I collect stories.
I spent well over a decade in the film business wearing one hat or another on projects large and small, including sassily doing continuity for Muppets, editing video art and documentaries and founding a video collective. One day I picked up a minidisc recorder to tape a friend's life-changing personal story. I was hooked and have never looked back.
I was inspired to create Squirrels Stories after a good friend died of a rare cancer. She once told me that she did not want to return to the ICU for treatment because she felt so lonely in there. I thought she would have found comfort if she could hear the story of someone in the same boat.

The Role of Electricians in Ensuring Uninterrupted Power…Maricel Houston | October 17, 2018 | 0
It may not be far from the truth when it is said that it is the electricity that regulates your daily life. From the moment you get up in the morning until you roll back to the bed at night, you are dependent on electricity in one way or the other. Imagine a situation when electricity supply is snapped while you are watching your favorite program on the Television. In such a situation, you would be making an emergency call to the available electrician Gold Coast market has near your location.
Ensure Uninterrupted Power Supply
Most gadgets that you use at home or in your office function with the help of electricity. Effective functioning of these gadgets mainly depends on the flawless supply of electricity. To achieve this, the building must have effective electrical installations.
Importance of Wiring
The wiring in the building and other installations like the switches, the fuse box, junction box must be of good quality. The electrician should be specialized in properly connecting these gadgets so as to ensure flawless supply of power to the building. This is in short the work of a professional electrician Gold Coast has to offer.
Causes of Disruption in Power
However, like any other gadget, there are instances that electrical supply to your building may be affected because of various reasons. The causes for such interruptions in power supply and other related issues are briefly explained here:
An interruption in the power supply can be caused either due to faulty wiring or defective installations or both. Worn-out wire, broken installations like switches are some of the best examples of interruptions in the power supply. Inadequate or faulty protection system against power surge can also cause disruptions in power. Therefore, in order to ensure uninterrupted power supply, it is the duty of an electrician to ensure that every installation is in perfect working condition.
The job an electrician is a specialized task. The electrician should be appropriately qualified in this trade. He must have adequate training and experience. Normally, every electrician Gold Coast has today are equipped with extensive training not only in the wiring of buildings but also in various other trades. For example, they are trained in structured and data cabling work, repair of air conditioners, LAN and WAN, wiring for 0020telephone, including television network connections in the building and so on.
They are also trained in repair and installation of water heaters, washing machines and such other gadgets. Normally, electricians undergo different levels of training. For example, there are linesmen which work in electricity distribution network systems. Such electricians work at installations involving high-voltage power supply.
There are also wiremen which are specialized in the wiring of buildings. There is a specialization for commercial, industrial and domestic wiring trades. The training is further divided into different categories like an apprentice, journeymen and master electricians. The master electrician can register himself as an electrical contractor.
Training Sessions
The electricians undergo training sessions under a structured program. The training involves both classroom and laboratory works. In addition to this, the candidates will have to undergo specified hours of field work. However, after the training, the electrician should register himself with the appropriate agency. It is only then he would be eligible to practice his trade.

Whether you are preparing for the general IELTS or the academic IELTS, in this article, you will find EVERYTHING you need to know regarding the writing portion, task 1. First, let's go over the basics of the writing portion:
What? Writing Portion – 2 Tasks
How long? 60 minutes (20 minutes for Task 1)
- During the exam, you will write your responses in an answer booklet. Do not open the booklet until you are told to do so.
- Make sure you write your name and given number at the top of the page.
- You may write in pen or pencil. If you write in pen and want to make alterations, make sure your answers are easy to read.
First, it is important to know that the writing section is broken into two different tasks. The first task will be different, depending on which test you are taking. The second task is the same for both tests. Make sure to pay attention to how long you spend on each task- Task 1 should only take about twenty minutes.
Task 1- Academic Test
For the academic writing test, task one, you will need to write a summary in response to a given graph, table or chart. You can look at example Task 1 questions, and responses here.
The test may also ask you to write a summary in response to a process. Process questions are not as common as graph questions, but this doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare for them! Many people make this mistake and then find themselves stuck on their test. On the test, you can think of a process as a "how-to" of something- either man made or natural. For example, "How does an ATM work?" This is an example of a man-made process question. You can read more about process questions here(link of future blog).
This academic task will test your ability to do the following:
- Select & report main features
- Describe Data
- Compare Data
- Identify Importance and Trends
Sometimes the questions can be worded in a way that sounds complicated. Don't stress! Just break down the question using the words listed above.
An example of a task 1 question relating to a graph is:
The graph below gives information about the consumption of alcohol (in liters) of different age groups in the USA from 2000 to 2010.
Summarize the data by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where necessary.
The red sentence is simply recapping what the graph or table is giving information about. You will be able to tell this from the title and data on the graphic.
The blue is where the actual directions for your response are. The bolded words are what you need to do.
In this question, you will need to:
- Summarize
- Select & Report Main Features
- Make Comparisons
Task 1- General Test
The general test, task 1 is quite different. In this question, you will be asked to respond to a given problem. You can be asked to respond in two different ways:
- With a letter requesting more information
- Explaining a situation
The general task 1 question will test your ability to:
- Engage in personal correspondence
- Elicit and provide general factual information
- Express needs, wants or dislikes
OR – Express opinions
An example of a general test, task 1 question is as follows:
You are working at the university cafeteria with fellow students. However, there are many problems with a particular coworker and you are finding it difficult to work.
Write a letter to your supervisor. In the letter:
- Describe the situation
- Explain the problem and why the problem exists
- Offer solutions to the problem
You do not need to put an address on the letter.
Begin your letter with Dear Sir/Madam….
In this example, the given situation is in green. It is a hypothetical situation you must imagine yourself in.
The directions are listed in blue. Here, you have three tasks to complete your response.
There may occasionally be additional instructions. In this example, the additional instructions are written in red.
Task 1- General & Academic Tests
Regardless of whether you are taking the general, or academic test, you should write at least 150 words.
When you are practicing for the writing portions of the test, you should time yourself and try to move from one page to another briskly to ensure you are having a realistic practice.

Circovirus vaccination effectiveness
Researchers at Kansas State University, led by Bob Rowland, looked into the role of maternal antibody in determining porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) vaccine efficacy. Their research found that commercial PCV2 vaccines are remarkably effective in controlling porcine circovirus associated disease. However, there are still concerns regarding the appearance of what appear to be "vaccination failures," which presumably result from high levels of maternal antibody or antibody produced by nursery pigs in response to natural infection. The results of this study confirmed the effectiveness of PCV2 vaccination, even in the face of maternal antibody. Furthermore, the data suggest that vaccine-induced antibody combined with maternally derived antibody can provide effective protection from farrow through finish.
For more information, go to www.pork.org/research or contact Lisa Becton at email@example.com or 515-223-2791.
Sow longevity and reproductive performance
In a recent Checkoff-funded study, researchers at North Carolina State studied the effects of neonatal litter size and early puberty stimulation on sow longevity and reproductive performance. In this study, they found that producers may be able to implement a strategy that increases sow longevity and lifetime reproductive performance. Specifically, the data suggest that at the end of six parities, regardless of age of puberty induction, significantly more sows raised in small litters (35%) were still in production, compared with those raised in large litters (17%). Similarly, regardless of the size of the litter in which they nursed, significantly more sows exposed to boars at 140 days of age (33%) remained in the herd, compared with their counterparts given boar exposure at 170 days of age (16%).
For more information, go to www.pork.org/research or contact Mark Knauer at email@example.com or 515-223-2606.
Classical swine fever
Checkoff research conducted by a team lead by Manuel V. Borca, with the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, identified the host factors interacting with classical swine fever virus proteins to see how they affected development of novel anti-viral therapeutics. They found that during the infection of a cell, a virus comes in contact with many host proteins. These interactions between virus and host factors enable the successful production of virus progeny and progress of the disease. Identification and characterization of such interactions could be useful in providing novel alternatives to alter virus multiplication and, perhaps, disease. The researchers also found that manipulation of the identified host-virus interactions allowed development of attenuated strains of virus which may lead to further development of live attenuated vaccine against classical swine fever.
For more information, go to www.pork.org/research or contact Patrick Webb at firstname.lastname@example.com or 515-223-3441.
MRSA prevalence and threat from swine
In Checkoff-funded research lead by Peter Davies at the University of Minnesota, a team investigated the prevalence and characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in pigs and farm workers on conventional and antibiotic-free swine farms in the United States. They were driven by the fact that unusual strains of MRSA associated with livestock in Europe and North America have raised concerns about the human-health implications of these bacteria, particularly for people working with pigs. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of MRSA in pigs on conventional and antibiotic-free swine farms in Minnesota, and to characterize the isolates obtained. Their findings revealed that livestock-associated MRSA may not be widespread in conventional or antibiotic-free swine farms in Minnesota, but that closely related methicillin-susceptible organisms were the common isolates from pigs.
For more information, go to www.pork.org/research or contact Jennifer Koeman at email@example.com or 515-223-2633.
Other Checkoff news
Third-party verification of PQA Plus site assessment underway
In May, a small percentage of pork producers who have achieved Pork Quality Assurance Plus site assessment status began to be randomly selected to voluntarily participate in the next step in the program – an independent third-party verification of their farm's compliance with the program's objectives of maintaining Good Production Practices and continuous improvement.
Of the six organizations that applied to conduct the on-farm visits, a National Pork Board producer-led panel selected two – Validus, a firm based in Urbandale, Iowa, and the Audit, Review and Compliance branch of the US Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service. Either one of the vendors will be able to conduct an independent third-party verification of the PQA Plus program on producer operations.
Chris Novak, Pork Checkoff CEO, said, "The PQA Plus program is not a mere symbol of our industry's commitment to responsible production practices; rather, it must function as a means for actively improving how our industry operates. This will further demonstrate the industry's commitment to the Good Production Practices, along with the Care and Well-Being Principles of the We Care initiative."
To learn more about third-party verification of the PQA Plus program, go to www.pork.org under the Certification tab, or contact Sherrie Niekamp at email@example.com or 515-223-3533.
Foot-and-mouth disease pocket guide available
Developed through a cooperative agreement funded by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the Pork Checkoff, in collaboration with AASV and Iowa State University's Center for Food Security and Public Health, has created a new foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) educational pocket guide. The laminated flipchart contains photos illustrating lesions associated with FMD in domestic and feral swine with the purpose of improving vesicular disease surveillance in swine by providing practitioners and veterinary students with a convenient resource illustrating the progression of FMD lesions.
For more information, contact Patrick Webb at firstname.lastname@example.com or 515-223-3441.
Euthanasia training module complete
A new Pork Checkoff euthanasia training module, delivered on DVD, is now available for veterinarians and producers. The video illustrates proper techniques as shown in the current On-Farm Euthanasia Guide.

Vegetable Pinwheels are a beautiful, light appetizer full of creaminess and crunch. Colorful veggies on top of dill cream cheese and rolled up in a wrap.
Thank you Southern Breeze for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.
Vegetable pinwheels are a lighter appetizer that are perfect for a holiday gathering. They are so colorful and really stand out on a party table.
I try to have a variety of appetizer options when hosting friends and family over the holidays. While it's nice to have the cheesy, bacon wrapped, sausage dip type food, I think it's important to offer some lighter options as well.
It's also important to offer refreshing beverages for your guests to enjoy. Living in Georgia, you can never go wrong with having sweet tea on the menu. Southern Breeze Sweet Tea Cold Brew Tea is my go-to for zero calorie tea.

How to Make a Pinwheel Appetizer
Making this pinwheel recipe couldn't be easier! Pinwheels make great finger food, easy to grab and satisfying. Sometimes I even eat these for a light lunch.
- Start with preparing the vegetables. I like using a yellow and red bell pepper for color. I also add in broccoli slaw that has a mix of shredded broccoli, carrots and purple cabbage. You could also add spinach or even celery cut in thin matchsticks.
- In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, fresh dill and chopped green onions. It helps to have the cream cheese softened.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture on your favorite wrap like a tortilla, sun-dried tomato wrap or spinach wrap. I think the red and green wraps are fun for a holiday party.
- Add sliced peppers and slaw mix on the cream cheese. Try not to overfill the rolls or they will be hard to roll-up.
- Roll the wrap tightly and then cover in plastic wrap.
- Place the covered "logs" into the refrigerator and let cool for at least two hours before. slicing.
Before you start making this pinwheel recipe, get your tea brewing. Pour 8 oz. cold water over 1 Southern Breeze tea bag and steep for 5 minutes. Once finished, toss out the tea bag and pour over a tall glass of ice and enjoy!
Tips For Making Vegetable Pinwheels
- If you don't have whipped cream cheese, use softened cream cheese.
- Make sure to roll as tightly as possible so the vegetables don't fall out.
- Allow time for the rolls to cool in the fridge. It helps make slicing easier.
- I recommend using a serrated knife for slicing the pinwheels. A serrated knife will slice through the pinwheel without tearing it apart.

The indoor spaces get articulated over a total area of 350 m2, in an interplay of volume and light. The ground floor consists of 3 ample spaces: the main living room, dining room and the kitchen - secondary living room. At the same floor there is a WC for guests and a twin en suite bedroom. The large staircase leads first to a mezzanine, where one of the double en suite bedroom is located. On the first floor, there are 2 double bedrooms, the master en suite bedroom with walk-in closet and the main bathroom with Jacuzzi. There is also a space equipped with a computer (connected to the internet) that can be used as an office or reading room. Free Wi-Fi access is provided in all parts of the villa.
All 3 bedrooms on the first level enjoy a big balcony towards the sea, whereas the main bathroom has view and access to a large terrace and a roof garden. At the ground level, the indoor areas extend to a spacious terrace with a variety of lounge spaces of different character. It hosts several features, all seamlessly integrated around the house: an infinity pool, green areas with trees and flowers and a BBQ. The lower part of the plot maintains a more natural aspect, with olive trees and other Mediterranean plants. Thus, the villa's privacy is maintained even from the beach level. To access the seaside, a private path within the plot of approximately 30 meters of length that develops along these trees leads to the beach.

PS... A Column
on Things
By Paul E. Schindler Jr.
Some things are impossible to know, but it is impossible to know these things.
I have a day job. So every word of this is my opinion, not that of my employer. This offer IS void in Wisconsin. Except, of course, that some material in this column comes from incoming e-mail; such material is usually reproduced in the Sans Serif type font to distinguish it from the (somewhat) original material.

General News
Transitional and Transitory
This week was both transitory (nothing important happened to me personally that I know of) and transitional (from two daughters at home to none, with a transition back to two by Dec. 20). It reminded me of how important it is to enjoy the journal as well as the destination. This is one of those sage pieces of advice I've actually found it relatively easy to follow over the years.
So much of life is transitory and leaves no impact on our lives or our memories. The mundane, particularly, is flushed from our minds--and thank God for that; if we remembered everything we would surely go insane. For example, I cannot remember how or when I washed my clothes when I lived in Student House, or Winthrop or Hartford. There were washing machines; I don't think I ever had to use a coin laundry. But what happened to all this mundane hours? They're gone. If not for my photos and my journals, my relationships with my first three girlfriends woul also mostly be a blank--and consulting the journals has taught me that I have forgotten much of what transpired and remember incorrectly much that did. Without my journal, I would never have recalled the touching tenderness MW showed MC on our joint train trip to NYC in the spring of 1971, a moment I'd rather not lose.
Another thought on the transitory nature of last week--I don't really know if something important happened or not. In five decades of life so far, I can think of very few occasions when I knew that my decision, or lack of decision, or an action taken by someone else would make a permanent impact on my life. When Dave Jack laid me off at KLIQ, I knew I'd never be a talk show host. When S, my first fiancée, told me to chose between her and the school newspaper. I chose the newspaper. When Tony Sinskey, my freshman advisor, told me I was in the twilight of a mediocre academic career, I decided to ignore him, and I knew the consequences would be life-changing. When Vicki accepted my marriage proposal. When FP laid me off from my last computer journalism job, I knew at that instant that my life was changed forever.
Those, however, are the exceptions. For the most part, the momentous and the trivial feel the same when they are taking place. It is only in hindsight that we are privileged to know which is which. And sometimes even hindsight fails, as causal relations are disguised from us; we never know what moment was the turning point, the tipping point, the straw that broke the camel's back. We find that we've made a dramatic left-hand turn, but don't know when or why it happened. So, last week could have included the most important decision of my life, and I don't know it yet and may never now it. That is one of the many things about life that gives me the whim-whams.
The other thing we never know, of course, is which visit is the last one. Perhaps I will never see Dr. S again. I didn't know which conversation with my mother and father in-law was going to be the last until after the fact. I didn't realize when I was having my last conversation with my mentor, Edwin Diamond. Same with my good friend, Richard Parker. Only a very few times in our lives do we know when we are saying goodbye. Which is why, as a matter of policy, I make certain that everyone I really love in life always knows how much I love them.
Darfour Genocide
Richard Dalton writes: "This is from a friend whose judgement I trust without reservation in areas of social concern."
I've asked before; I'm pleading now. Today please make the time to call
All you have to do is make one call. To find out the contact info for
your Senators and Congressman, go to http://www.congress.org, or you can
call the U.S. capital switchboard at (877) 762-8762 or (202) 224-3121.
To make your case stronger when speaking to your
Congresspeople or their aids, you might want to make these points:
1) The U.S. should help build the African Union Security Force
(Congress recently cut out the $50 million dollars from the federal
budget that would have been used for this purpose).
2) There needs to be an expanded U.N. security force in Darfur
3) The U.S. should support a no-fly zone to protect civilians
4) The Darfur Peace and Accountability Act should be passed in the
House of Representatives
5) We want President Bush to talk about this issue whenever and however
possible, to awaken the American people to the horror of this
situation and to our moral responsibility to address it.
It has been said that if one hundred people in each Congressional
district in the U.S. had contacted their representatives about the
Rwandan genocide, then that would have generated the political will to
stop it. The Rwandan horror is being repeated today in the Sudan, and
the U.S. is not yet doing everything we can to help. Not even close.
Dante's famous quote resonates: "There is a special place in hell
reserved for those who, in times of moral crisis, remain neutral."
Genociate in the Sudan is a moral crisis of the first degree. And we
can stop it. Amen.
Please help spread the word.... Thanks.
Political Notes
What Bush Meant, Time for Bush to comment on Plamegate, Iraq then and Now
The article you may have difficulty finding in the newspapers of Thursday, December 1, 2005:
In a speech to a captive audience at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, yesterday, George W. Bush confirmed that the policies he has advocated in Iraq have been a total disaster. The audience applauded politely. In May 2003, Mr. Bush said the mission had been accomplished. Yesterday Mr. Bush indicated the mission could not possibly have been fully accomplished in May 2003 because he was now announcing that he was just developing a plan for victory. Mr. Bush did not address the issue of whether in May 2003 he was deliberately lying, mistaken, or merely totally out of touch with reality. Mr. Bush also did not address the issue of whether he is currently (or has at any time since 2001 been) under the influence of any medication or other substance which would distort his view of reality.
George W. Bush has consistently refused to comment on the exceptionally grave damage to U.S. national security caused by the indicted Scooter Libby and the as yet unindicted Karl Rove on the grounds that the matter is before the courts. However, after recently resigned Rep. Randy Cunningham (R. - Cal.) pled guilty in late November, 2005, Bush attempted to influence a pending judicial matter - the issue of Cunningham's sentence. Bush said he thought Cunningham should be seriously punished. Having established he has no compunctions about commenting on pending judicial proceedings, it's time for Bush to tell us what he knew and when he knew it about every aspect of the Cheney-Plame-Libby-Rove Affair.
The public has been led into a trap from which it will be hard to escape with dignity and honor. They have been tricked into it by a steady withholding of information... The Baghdad communiques are belated, insincere, incomplete. Things have been far worse than we have been told, our administration more bloody and inefficient than the public knows... We are today not far from a disaster.

Malicious bibliography on Wikipedia: it is easy to sympathize with the plight of John Seigenthaler Sr. (of the Kennedy administration, father of the NBC correspondent) who was apparently the target of a deliberate smear via an article in the open source encyclopedia, as he describes in A false Wikipedia 'biography'. However in his anger I think he overstates the problem when he says "I am interested in letting many people know that Wikipedia is a flawed and irresponsible research tool." He says his experience refutes the view that Wikipedia's "community of thousands of volunteer editors ... corrects mistakes within minutes." But keep in mind that the likelihood of an article being corrected is proportional to its readership. A false statement inserted into the article about President Bush would be fixed in minutes. An error in an article about John Seigenthaler Sr. apparently takes about 132 days to be noticed. How much harm was caused by this malicious article? It would be important to know just how many people accessed this Wikipedia article during those 132 days. I suggest the number is probably very, very low -- and hence so is the harm done.Baking privacy into personal data --- Search Inside the Music --- Olive oil's heart effect located --- Probe 'gathers asteroid material' --- Browser Face-Off --- The 46 Best-ever Freeware Utilities (mostly Windows oriented) --- Free 1200-page physics textbook --- A Sense of Scale a visual comparison of various distances --- self-referential Dilbert --- beautiful Crab Nebula Mosaic from HST.
Coquet on Bush's Disconnectedness, National Debt, CPB; Malchman predicts Warner entry, Dan Grobstein File
Steve Coquet found this in National Journal via Doonesbury's daily briefing. He added his own emphasis:
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell's chief of staff says" Bush "was 'too aloof, too distant from the details' of post-war planning, allowing underlings to exploit Bush's detachment and make bad decisions,"AP reports. "In an Associated Press interview Monday, former Powell chief of staff Lawrence Wilkerson also said that wrongheaded ideas for the handling of foreign detainees after Sept. 11 arose from a coterie of the White House and Pentagon aides who argued that 'the president of the United States is all-powerful,' and that Geneva Conventions were irrelevant. Wilkerson blamed Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and like-minded aides. [emphasis mine]
My question: Isn't someone in his position, or any competent adult, expected to have a certain sense of proportion, a certain sense of right and wrong, which render such advice absurd on the surface and cause him to dismiss, if not the giver of it, at least the advice itself? [ed: Well, yes.]
Also from Steve:
"I place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt."
-Thomas Jefferson, third US president, architect and author (1743-1826)
It should be tattooed on the forehead of every neocon so that they would have to look at some truth while talking to each other.
Finally, he suggests, check out the CPB Scandal, which is ongoing.

Our passion for Making our Maine Coon Connection began back in 2009 when we realized we were going to be moving from our ministry position back home to TN. Knowing it would finally be a possibility I (Beth) convinced my mom (Tammy) to begin the search for our families perfect Maine Coon match.
We had been studying the breed for several years just waiting for the opportunity to have our very own. We already knew we loved the brown classic and that would be our first kitten. We found a mentor that agreed to teach us the ropes and help us with showing our cats and then we took the plunge and fell in love with our first Maine Coon kitten of our very own.
Since we were moving to TN we named her Essennet (that's my version of TN backwards). She is the perfect cat. We absolutely fell in love. Since that day we have had so many wonderful experiences breeding our cats and sharing the love they have brought into our family.
I am now married and have moved to IN. But, Mom and I still work together providing award winning championship breed line quality kittens - raised under foot with lots of love and attention. Our Cattery is the "Smoky Mountain Maine Coons" Cattery.
We take reservations on a first come first served basis. See our reservations page for details.
you looking for the Your Maine Coon Connection send us a note and tell
us a bit about yourself and what you are looking for.
We look forward to hearing from you.

LG Laptop Battery Articles & Tips
Upgrade my Netherlands LG Laptop Battery from NiMH to Li-Ion
NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion LG laptop batteries are all fundamentally different from one another and cannot be substituted unless the laptop has been pre-configured from the manufacturer to accept more than one type of battery chemistry. Please refer to your manual to find out which rechargeable battery types the laptop device supports or use our LG Battery Finder above to find all the compatible laptop batteries for your device. It will netherlandstomatically list all of the battery chemistries supported by your specific device. If your device does allow you to upgrade the battery from NiMH to Li-Ion, you will typically get longer run times.
For example, if your laptop uses a NI-MH battery that is 9.6 Volts, 4000mAh and the new li-ion laptop battery is 14.4 Volt, 3600mAh, then you will obtain longer run time with the li-ion battery.
Li-Ion: 14.4 Volts x 3.6 Amperes = 51.84 Watt Hours
Ni-MH: 9.6 Volts x 4 Amperes = 38.4 Watt Hours
The Li-Ion is stronger and has longer run time.
Click here for information on calculating LG laptop battery run time.
How can I maximize the performance of my LG laptop battery?
There are several steps you can take to help you get maximum performance from your laptop battery:
Prevent the Memory Effect - Keep the laptop battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.
Keep the LG laptop Batteries Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the portable device.
Exercise the Battery - Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a laptop battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.
Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the laptop battery for a month or more, store it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to recharge the batteries before use.
What is the run time of Replacement-laptop-battery.com's laptop battery?
LG laptop batteries have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amperes. Becnetherlandsse size and weight of laptop batteries is limited when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamperes. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, select batteries with the most Milliamperes (or mAh). Batteries are also rated by Watt-Hours, perhaps the simplest rating of all. This is found by multiplying the Volts and the Amperes together. For example:
14.4 Volts, 4000mAh (Note: 4000mAh is equal to 4.0 Amperes).
14.4 x 4.0 = 57.60 Watt-Hours
Watt-Hours signifies the energy needed to power one watt for one hour. This LG laptop battery can power 57.60 watts for one hour. If your laptop runs at 20.50 watts, as an example, this laptop battery could power your laptop for 2.8 hours.
Understanding your LG Battery Needs
We strive to make you laptop battery purchases easy. Since we understand that finding the right batteries for your needs can be overwhelming and confusing at times we developed a laptop battery finder tool to help find the right size for the make and model of your equipment. We also offer educational articles and tips to help you conserve your batteries and understand common problems. By us providing education you are able to make the right purchasing decisions as well as provide proper care for all of your electronics.

Wairarapa shearer and 2018-2019 New Zealand representative David Buick completed the season in triumph when he successfully defended the national open lamb shearing title at the Mackenzie Shears in Fairlie yesterday.
It established him as the top competition lamb shearer in New Zealand, with three successive wins in the top lambs finals - at Fairlie last year, in the national crossbred lambs final at Winton in January, and yesterday when he won by more than two-and-a-half points from runner-up national side teammate Nathan Stratford, of Invercargill.
The only North Island shearer in the 10-man field, he was second to finish the six-man final of 20 lambs each, less than 4 seconds after Rakaia shearer Shaun Burgess, who finished in 18min 21.72sec with both more than a lamb ahead of anyone else in the race.
Read more shearing articles here.
Burgess did not have the quality on the day and had to settle for sixth place, third-to-finish Stratford made up some of the leeway with the best quality points, and third place overall went to Pleasant Point shearer Ant Frew, who had shorn at the Royal Easter Show in Auckland on Saturday.
Despite the remote location of home on the farm near Pongaroa, east of Pahiatua, Buick shore 18 finals during the season, winning five.
He was runner-up to World Championships hope and Hawke's Bay shearer Rowland Smith in the Shearing Sports New Zealand open rankings for the season when they were decided at the New Zealand Shears in Te Kuiti on March 28.
It was also at Te Kuiti that Buick was third in the New Zealand open final and missed by less than 0.2pts a place in the New Zealand Allflex New Zealand Shearing and Woolhandling team for the World Championships in France in July.
Yesterday was a bit of a family mission, with son Michael Buick finishing third in the novice event, won by Osian Hughes, from Wales.
New Zealand team blades shearers Tony Dobbs, of Fairlie, and Allan Oldfield, of Geraldine, were first and third in yesterday's Blades final, in which Oldfield was beaten to the runner-up purse by father and 2017 World Championships representative Phil Oldfield.
The senior machine-shearing final provided the third win of the season for Golden Shears and New Zealand championships finalist Jade Maguire Ratima, of Winton, and South Island-based John Cherrington scored his fourth win of the intermediate season which he started with a win in the first intermediate event at Waimate in October.
Golden Shears winner Brodie Horrell, from Gore, outclassed his opposition for his fourth and last win in three seasons as a junior, being promoted to intermediate for next summer.

Gibbo's Gripe with Mike Gibbons
The push for a 3-game AFL Grand Final series is gaining momentum. Well, outside Victoria, at least. While some believe the idea has merit, others consider it's logic questionable.
Mike Gibbons joins Sam Stove and Mark Allen on Weekend Afternoons, live from the 2018 Emirates Australian Open.
