Hi all! We are currently in production on a documentary on homeschooling called "Beyond the Classroom".
The film is designed to explore the topic of homeschooling. We are interviewing families that homeschool, homeschooling graduates, and educators who have different opinions about homeschoolers. We're hoping to provide a balanced view of homeschooling and dispel a lot of the myths and common misconceptions (i.e. socialization, etc).
Do you live in California? Are you up for being interviewed about homeschooling?
I'd love to talk to you about your opinions on homeschooling, your experience with homeschooling and your general knowledge on the topic. We'd also be interested in coming to your homeschooling group or co-op if that is something you'd be open to as well.
If you'd like more information on the documentary, you can visit our website, thehomeschoolmovie.com. If you are open to being interviewed, please let me know and we can set up a date.
Thanks so much for your time!!

Buzz- No clowning around: Local comedians take the mic
It might seem like a joke fallen flat–- Charlottesville has a comedy scene?–- but Jim Zarling and the Charlottesville Comedy Roundtable would challenge any nay-sayers to a stand-off. What makes C'ville a receptive bed for fledgling comics? A "unique" combination of supportive audiences, storytelling aesthetics, and proximity to the country's political epicenter, according to Zarling.
"[Comedy] is very competitive–- a lot of times, you go to New York, DC, the comedians are very protective, territorial–- they don't want to help each other out," explains Zarling, the founder of the CCR. "Other people see what's going on here and say, 'This really works?'"
Moving to Charlottesville after attending the University of Missouri, Zarling was shocked at the lack of comedy performed in town–- although he found the interest in stand-up comedy bubbling underneath the surface in comics and audiences alike. In September 2008, he joined forces with other casual comics to form the CCR, which found success with its first show in November at the Buddhist Biker Bar. Quickly setting up a monthly stand-up night, the craving for comedy grew, allowing the CCR to expand its current schedule of weekly performances and open mikes.
"There were no comedy clubs, no regular comedy shows [here]–- the people who wanted to do it just didn't know how to start," he says. "Because we don't have a corporately-owned comedy club, we're kind of free to do what we want."
While CCR's comedians– a motley group of around 15 regular comedians ranging from college students to veteran comics– stay away from "easy laughs" (read: offensive dirty jokes), they have a diverse set of experiences to draw from for their bits. A college town is always rife for stories, according to Zarling, and having an unusual take on everyday experiences will always draw a chuckle from a Charlottesville crowd. And while most local comedians stay away from political satire, Zarling himself finds varying degrees of success when he invokes health care reform or 9/11.
"With satire, there's a line–- what people in Richmond think is funny, people here think is kind of mean," he says. "The trouble with political satire is that divide between Democrats and Republicans–- it's a no-holds-barred, win or lose, with us or against us mindset."
As CCR has flourished–- during the weekly meetings, comics exchange bits and tips, and Zarling has found success with his Wu Prov improv academy–- audiences, hecklers, and professional comics have begun to flock to weekly stand-up shows and open mike sessions. While none of the CCR is quite ready to hit the bigtime, according to Zarling–- professional touring comics have a trove of 45-60 minute bits, while local comedians are starting at 5-10 minutes a set–- each comic involved in the burgeoning scene has taken up the challenge of tickling Charlottesville until it doubles over laughing.
"The audience in Charlottesville has been really cool to whatever anyone takes to the stage," Zarling says. "Everyone's hear to root for you."
Channeling Jerry Seinfeld? Addicted to NBC's Last Comic Standing reality show or glued to every airing of Chris Rock's stand-up on Comedy Central? Zarling encourages all jokesters and witty locals to take the stage with authenticity–- and not be surprised when that works.
"You can't copy someone else," he says. "It's all about finding what works best for you on stage and how to use the people who influence you without letting them mess up your act."
The Charlottesville Comedy Roundtable performs with headliner Al Goodwin Friday, June 18, at The Southern. Show starts at 10pm and tickets are $6.

Which "Mike" do you mean? Or did you mean "Taking the Mickey" ? Or taking the mic(rophone)?
Charlottesville DOES have a need for comics!
The Baja Bean gives people a chance on open mic night.........but 99% of the performers play an instrument and sing. I did open mic a few times.
The mic is open!
I hope this works!
I had been doing roasts and stand-up for a while in NJ, NY and PA. If you want a really good model of how to bring this all together, check out "Late Night Series" at Mercer and in Philly. Nick and Midnight can really make it fly!!!
Sense of humor? Of course Charlottesville has a sense of humor, look who they elect to local government positions.............and as President!

You really think Arturo didn't have 10 billion dollars ??? Your a fool , he learned the drug trade from Amado Carrillo Fuentes, he was his right hand man , he was also the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel for most of his life when CDS was at its prime , then he became a leader of his own cartel he was in charge of Guerrero ,Morelos ,Nuevo Leon , to make the list short over ten states in Mexico he build an empire with associates in every continent in the world . He didn't get the nickname "Boss of Bosses" by being a small time marijuana dealer or a sicario . If he was willing to pay 1 million dollars a month to one general in the Mexican army in Sinaloa just imagine how much money he was capable of producing just in those 10 states that he controlled but instead he made 10 times more exporting his products he was a true genius who is not being a recognized as such , yeah he was criminal but with a very developed sense of intelligence and determination to run an empire as the one he createdDelete

Worthington is Pit Bull bashing again!
In a discussion on Sun-TV a while back on the ban of pit bull types of dogs, I reluctantly supported the ban because it's just not right to have an animal that threatens other animals and children.
I didn't blame the dog --bred for excessive loyalty and courage -- but facetiously (I thought) suggested that a ban on pit bull owners might be more appropriate -- even "putting them down" instead of the dog.
This touched off a rash of responses from pit bull owners testifying to the gentleness of their dogs "who wouldn't hurt a fly." Well, it wasn't flies I was concerned about, but kids and other small dogs. One lady piously wondered why I wanted to "put her down" (murder) when she'd never harmed me. That sort of stuff.
One Dianne Singer, describing herself as a proud member of the Dog Legislation Council of Canada and a proud supporter of the Banned Aid Coalition, sent a nasty letter: "Should I conclude that all your writing is as poorly researched and irresponsible as that infamous column" (on Ontario's pit bull ban). Well, stand by Ms. Singer for some first hand "research!"
When it comes to issues between people and animals, I tend to side with animals. But pit bulls are dogs with big heads, huge jaws, fearless, and are dangerous to anything that irritates them.
Even minimal research indicates their prime targets, when they go berserk, are small children and small dogs -- toy poodles, Lhasa Apsos and the like. Rarely does one hear of pit bulls attacking German shepherds, Rottweillers, Doberman pinschers.
Last summer, a couple of young guys moved into a house next to where we have a house in Wellington, west of Picton in Prince Edward County.
We had grandkids of various ages (youngest 3) running around, and an oft-publicized Jack Russell terrier (Murphy), who once got a bravery medal from the Toronto Humane Society for alerting us to a burglar breaking in one night.
With us, too, was a King Charles Spaniel (Jumble), whose sexual orientation we often debate, and a lumbering yellow Lab, (Cobber) who'd qualify for sainthood if he didn't insist on eating things like Warfrin, kitty litter and corn on the cob that sometimes require costly surgery to correct.
The new tenants had a pit bull with the menacing name of "Sniper" who frequently got loose and headed for our place. The owner was alarmingly indifferent, but when my wife, Yvonne, and daughter warned them to keep their dog away, he agreed.
I reinforced the admonition by visiting him and warning that if the dog menaced us, our grandkids or Murphy, "Sniper" would be in big trouble.
"He's not dangerous, just playful," I was assured.
"Plays with kids, don't worry, we keep him tied up." I insisted it wasn't me who had to worry, but him and his dog if it got loose.
Well, of course it got loose. Often. Once we saw it swimming in Lake Ontario near our place and diving to the bottom and fetching rocks the size of bread loaves.
A nice couple from Toronto who have the lot next to us are worried for their little girl because the pit bull has come onto their property. They'd already alerted Animal Control.
Last Thursday, as I was about to leave Toronto to go to Wellington for Canada Day, I got an alarmed phone call from Yvonne.
"Don't worry," she said, "She's going to be all right, but there was an incident."
"Who's all right?" I said, instantly alert. "Dani, Mandy, Buzzy? Are they okay? What happened?"
"No, it's Murphy -- the pit bull attacked her but the vet has stitched her up, and she'll be okay."
It seems that Yvonne was walking up our dirt road, and turned back when she saw the pit bull loose in its yard. Unfortunately, the dog saw her, and immediately charged and attacked Murphy, bowling her over and ripping a chunk from her ribs. As it wheeled to re-attack, Yvonne screamed. A young guy ran from the house yelling "Snipe, stop it!"
The pit bull paused. Yvonne scooped up the bloody Murphy, and drove frantically to the vet near Picton.
When the vet, who's owned Jack Russells, heard the story he said Prince Edward County takes dog attacks seriously "and that pit bull is history."
After half a dozen stitches, a sedated Murphy came home and Yvonne phoned Animal Control -- which knew all about the pit bull and its owner from past complaints.
A couple of animal control officers -- Shannon and supervisor Garry Davis -- came out impressively fast to get details. Another, Jim, called the next day. They took photographs of Murphy's wound and said the pit bull would be seized the minute the owner could be found.
Meanwhile the OPP were notified in Belleville and surrounding towns in case the owner and dog decided to go on the lam -- which was the case. By the time Animal Control arrived with a warrant to seize the dog, it and its handler were gone The animal control people said while they took dog attacks seriously, ever since Toronto lawyer Clayton Ruby started defending pit bull owners, convictions have become a lengthy process.
It took four months to get a conviction of an owner whose pit bull bit a cop. During the interim, the dog has to be kept at taxpayers' expense, then euthanized.
Personally, I don't blame the dog. Like pedophiles, they simply can't resist attacking what they see as weak, defenceless, easy or vulnerable. It's just the way they are -- bred that way by people who've done the breed a disservice.
Yesterday, they nabbed Sniper. "The OPP really pulled out all stops," said Garry Davis. "They knew the guy, visited his friends, and he just ran out of places to hide and turned himself and the dog into the OPP."
It turned out that the pit bull was registered to someone else, who has tentatively agreed that the dog should be euthanized.
Michael Laird is due in court on Friday to face five charges involving endangerment, mishandling the dog, improper care, etc. If convicted he'll likely be forbidden to ever own a pit bull type dog.
"I'm sorry about Murphy," said Davis, "but it was only a matter of time before that dog attacked a child, and that would have been tragic."
One wonders why people want a dog that by law must be muzzled and leashed - something "Sniper" seems rarely to have endured.
"Often people want them as a secondary defence against police," said Gary Davis. "They are owner-specific, unpredictable and often dangerous."
As for Clayton Ruby, a skilled lawyer, I'll bet his personal experience with pit bull-type dogs is limited; I doubt he's ever been victimized by one.
If this had happened in the "bad" old days, the issue of "Sniper" would have been resolved with a shotgun.
Instead, he's a victim of his breeding.
Funny cause last time I checked the JRT was not good with children (in their breeding) and the Staffy was great with kids... Sounds like he still didn't do his research. I hate this guy. I wrote a letter. POO POO POO on him

I agree with one thing he said. basiccaly any dog that attacks other dogs could pose a real risk to small children.
What I don't agree with is that it is pitties that are dangerous to children and small dogs. It is any aggressive dog, small, large, or inbetween that is dangerous.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain't gonna happen anyway.
Once again, it's the OWNER'S FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But still, they want to bash the breed! AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Never mind the dogs, beware of the owner!!!
I read this first thing this morning but didnt post it I was so disgusted. This man should have already been charged with inciting hatred regarding some of the things he has said about people that own pit bulls in the past. He is most definitely a moron but back to the story.
The owner is definitely at fault here for continually letting his dog run loose. These kinds of attacks play out daily and in many cases the smaller dog victim dies. Of course in many of those cases its not an issue because the off leash roaming, persistent threat to the neighbourhood isnt a pit bull but some other breed. I guess Worthington just wont get it until some family members dog is killed by a breed other than a pit bull then again hed probably misidentify it anyways.
Don't blame me I voted NDP.
Here are the leters in regards to yesterdays articles.
Good ones!! The Editor probably got tons of letters.
Any breed can attack
Re "Pitbull attacks columnist's dog" (Peter Worthington, July 5): Opponents of breed bans have never said that pit bull-type dogs have never attacked people or pets. There isn't a dog breed or dog breed mix on the planet that hasn't attacked at some point in time, and the victims of those attacks, understandably, probably won't like that type of dog in the future.
But public policy shouldn't be determined by anecdotal evidence or isolated incidents. We don't ban cars because sometimes people are killed by them, nor do we ban contact sports because a student once had his back broken playing football.
It's terrible that Worthington's dog was attacked. Opponents of breed bans wholeheartedly support holding dog owners responsible for the actions of their dogs. What we reject, however, is the specious assumption that aggressiveness or a propensity to attack can be determined by a dog's appearance or (often incorrect) breed designation.
Worthington would also do well to remember that people across this province have had their pets attacked by dogs of all breeds, but only some dog owners are being penalized by ill-conceived provincial legislation, and only some dog breeds are chosen to be exploited by lurid newspaper headlines.
Eric Sparling
(We feel for Peter and his dog and hope the attacker's owners are severely punished, but we're against the breed ban, for all the reasons you mention)
Dogs are individuals too
Re "Pit bull attacks colomnist's dog" (Peter Worthington, July 5): My "pit bull-type" dog has been attacked twice by Jack Russell Terriers. My dog has not even seen her second birthday, but two different Jack Russells have let loose on her, without provocation. If it was so simple to blame the breed for these instances, I would be pretty wary of Jack Russells. I would assume that they were all "programmed" to attack pit bulls. It is not that simple, Mr. Worthington. I look at the dogs as individuals, with individual sets of circumstances that led to the attacks. In both cases my dog did not retaliate in any way, although injured. I would assume that if all pit bulls were "hardwired" to attack small dogs as Worthington says, this would have been the perfect scenario.
Susan Macleod
(That's what's wrong with breed bans)
Sounds like no one is buying this crap. I mean you can read the article where he says he has done his research. When did one personal incident become research. Really and I hope most people see the correlation between his article and the fact that it almost proves we are correct in saying it the owners. He probably thought he was so slick sending that article for print when in actual reality the more crap he talks the more likely people are to see it for what it is.... may I say it again........ crap!
But I am happy in terms of these supportive letters. And the fact that the paper is pretty much taking a position on BSL... and its our side... yeah !
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. --Gandhi
what this story clearly illustrates to me is that we need to start insisting that Animal Control laws be more strictly enforced. If the owner was repeatedly fined for the previous stray incidents, it is less likely that the attack would have happened.
the problem i have with enforcment of the laws is they have too have some discreation as to when to lay charges.....imagine you follow all laws for lets say 10 years , then one day your kid leaves the gate open , dog unleashed running wild , $200.00 fine to you....fair , you will not be upset , and you will pay no questions asked ? discretion for law enforcment is a must...imo

My Ontario Includes Democracy...bye bye Bryant!
Ah, wouldn't that be great? But of course if AC starts doing that, everyone who is fined is going to claim "it was only the one time! It was an accident!"
But what I really meant was that if a dog is loose AND aggressive, then AC needs to do more than just paperwork.
Calgary has established a very successful dangerous dog policy, with serious fines for aggressive incidents ... 70% reduction from 1985 to 2003! http://www.bdnhumanesociety.com/calgary_solution.htm
Sunny is my high prey drive dog, and prey drive has nothing to do with people. If a cat came into my yard he would likely attempt to kill it, and even if he did, that does not mean he would attempt to kill my cats, the reason is why. The cat he views in the yard is prey, my cats are part of his pack, the same sould possibly happen if he seen a small dog running
He totally adores people and he has attended several huge events like the All about Pets show,which gets 35.000 visitors, The Royal Winter Fair, the Canadian Pet Expo, several parades plus smaller events doing meet and greets to promote greyhound adoption, he can be surrounded be hundreds of kids and feel totally comfortable, with toddlers he will walk up to them and lay down in front of them in order to get petted, even after 8 hours of touching and petting he would still be comfortable with a toddler wanting the check outhis tongue or touch his teeth or if the parent is talking too long he is quite content to have that toddler curl up beside him and use his body for a pillow.
But I no longer take him to meet and greets, he is getting older now and his abdomen is sometimes sensitive/tender due to his enlarged spleen, I not longer feel he could be as tolerant especially at longer events were he would be handled by thousands of people once he gets tired, he is still the sweet boy he always was and he is still willing to let a child lay on him, but if they should rest their head on his abdomen or stumbled landed on his abdomen it could cause him a great deal of pain, and that could potentially lead to a bite
I accept reality that every single dog has their limitations to what they can handle and that limitation can change over their lifetime
I know dog that could not live with other dogs but get along great with cats.
My moms little shih tzu was uncomfortable with bigger dogs and would nip them if they got too close, but not once did she growl or snip at a child, she is blind now and her hearing is almost gone, it increases the potential now for her to bite out of startling not because she is aggressive
of my 3 dogs the one most like to bite a child is Nikki, not as an attack but to protect herself from them if they box her, she is very uncomfortable around children but she is very safe with other dogs
Every single dog has the capacity to bite a child under the right circumstances for that individual dog , no matter how sweet they are or how animal friendly they are,
Some dogs may attack other dogs out of being territorial, prey drive, fear, possessiveness, competitiveness, dominance and fearfulness but those same reasons may not apply in their view of children. Or they may apply to children and not to other dogs.
When I read the article, what came through to me is his total lack of understanding dog behaviour in general,
I know people that have had dogs longer than me, I also know a person that is a dog trainer, and yet they have never bother to learn about dogs behaviour or really made the attempt to understand them, this trainer wanted to put down a dog simply because it was very shy, only 2 weeks after adopting it, saying is was cruel to let it live that way, she gave it 1 month to show some improvement, luckily it did, her dog is no where near even to close to as shy as my girl, her dog spent spent several years racing, mine could not race because her fear was so extreme, it took a year for her to start coming out of hiding and to cautiously approach me if I was lying down, thankfully I understood building trust take time, had that trainer adopted Maya instead this is what she would have been robbed of, and who in the world could look at these pictures and say it was cruel of me to let her live and give her a chance a living life

The compiler of this sketch visited Sojourner Truth in this humble home a few months before her death. Seated in a large arm chair with an open Bible on her lap, her face wreathed in smiles, she recounted many thrilling events of her long and remarkable life. So far back in history had she led us that a little girl who had been an attentive listener innocently asked, 'Sojourner, did you see Adam and Eve?" As we left that heroic character she said "I isn't goin' to die, honey, Ise goin' home like a shootin' star."

La Chasse aux Papillons By Anne Flipo Eau de Toilette
La Chasse aux Papillons is a childhood memory inspired by chasing butterflies and playing under summer skies. It is a carefree time. Long, sunny days and meadows full of flowers in bloom. Imagine lying under the shade of citrus trees and looking up towards the sky. Wispy white clouds and butterflies float above. The gauze of butterfly wings and fine nets echo the delicate nature of this fragrance. The result is soft, luminous and sheer.

Getting started
Advanced tutorials
Due to the way scripts are captured in AgileLoad (at the HTTP level), the script must be able to handle session parameters and similar variables in the same way that the browser that it is emulating would.
To that end the script must be parameterised. This parameterisation process can be automated by teaching AgileLoad how to do this in its models. However before doing this you will need to understand the parameterisation process which is explained here.
What follows are before and after screenshots of a snippet of script before the model has been executed and after, 1st is before, notice the parameters starting with __, these are standard Microsoft .Net parameters, the strings are hard coded at the moment:
After the model has executed the script looks like this (below), notice that the hardcoded values are now replaced with script variables:
In this situation a script has been recorded against a SharePoint application. After the recording process has completed the 'Session identifiers assistant' pops up, it will attempt to choose the correct model to deal with the script. In the case of SharePoint it will choose the .Net & SharePoint model. This is an automatic model in play; however what we see is that while the standard .Net and SharePoint parameters such as __VIEWSTATE, __EVENTVALIDATION, __EVENTTARGET etc. have been dealt with the additional parameters that are not standard with .Net and SharePoint are not dealt with – see the sessionUID below:
This is because that model knows nothing about these other parameters and does not know how to parameterise them. Eventually you will want to create a model to do that but for the moment we'll go through the process of doing this manually.
In the example below we can see that the sessionUID has not been parameterised in this case we do want to make it a dynamic value as this value will change for each user and possible each transaction that we have with the server. We need to have AgileLoad extract the value form the correct response and use it in the relevant ensuing requests. (Tip: use CTRL-F2 to place a bookmark in the script to make it easy to find your way back.) To start we highlight the parameter, right click and choose Find & Replace then Find in HTTP Responses (see below):
This brings up a list of every response that has that string inside it in the 'Find In HTTP' tab in the lower window. As the string originates from the server we must choose the first response where we see the AgileLoad has seen the string. In this case there are multiple instances of that string in response 89 (see Id column).
Note that the response to extract the string from must occur before the point at which we need to use the string in a subsequent request. The script can't of course use a string that does not exist yet! The order of extraction and use is very important for parameters like these. Double clicking on that response will open it up in the right hand 'HTTP Details' window with the string highlighted (see below):
Notice also the yellow arrow in the left hand margin of the script; this denotes the line (request) in the script that the window on the right relates to. Also notice that the IDENTIFIER is 88, one number lower than the ID of the response. This will always be the case as the request happens immediately before the response.
The way that AgileLoad will extract the string is by identifying the text immediately to the left and immediately to the right it; obviously these values must be unique. In this case it looks like the values might not be unique as they are fairly standard HTML tags. So we either would need to extend the left and right strings out until they are unique, specify an instance (i.e. 1st, 2nd 3rd instance of this string etc.) or try to pull the string from a different location. Here we are fortunate in that the target string appears in 4 places in the response (there are four instances of ID 89 in the Find in HTTP window). Investigating each of these will prove worthwhile and may reveal an easier way to extract he string that we need.
Here we can see that the 3rd line refers to an instant with what appear to be unique left and right strings:
Right clicking the string and choosing 'Extract value…' pops out the Parse interface, it is pre-populated with the left and right search strings (although they are a little truncated – you can extend these if you prefer), we have a magnifying glass button – this is important as it lets us test the extract conditions. Clicking on it open the 'Value' window which shows what will be extracted:
This value is not identical to the value that we want as it is surrounded by curly brackets. Rather than extract it that way and perform some string action in the script there may be a better way to extract the string, testing the extract conditions and altering the occurrence is successful! We see that below the value we really need to extract is between the 3rd occurrence of those left and right strings:
Now we are happy with the string that will be extracted we can use it. We need to specify a name for the script variable (you can use anything so long as it is not an AgileLoad reserved word) and then we need to click Apply. This will enter the code into the script to make the extract of the value from the server response:
Now all we need to do is replace the hard coded value in the script. Navigate back to where we saw the hard coded value originally and replace it, you can do this by using the F2 key if you created a bookmark before moving away from it, alternatively just go to the top of the script and search for the target parameter name – note that there may be multiple instances of this name.
Once you've found it replace the hard coded literal value like below:
With the variable you created like below:
And that parameter is dealt with. However that was quite a lot of work just to deal with one parameter and while AgileLoad makes it relatively easy when compared to other tools it's still not really satisfactory to have to do that each time you record a new script. What we really need to do is to teach AgileLoad how to deal with those parameters. That is covered in the Automatic Parameterisation section.

Robe à la française
Medium: Multicolor silk taffeta brocade
Date: c. 1735
Country: France or Italy
Credit: Museum purchase
A fashionable robe à la française might be made from yards of expensive silk brocade draped over wide hoops, trimmed with handmade lace, and elaborately accessorized. Often dismissed as wasteful, aristocratic luxury supported a host of artisans. According to the great French writer Montesquieu (1748), there was "an absolute necessity for luxury. Were the rich not so lavish, the poor would starve."

In his own words: living with testicular cancer
Robert*, a 55-year-old boat builder, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1994. He went in for outpatient surgery to have a cyst removed on his testicle, and when he woke up from surgery, he discovered that the cyst was full of tumors, requiring them to remove the testicle. Devastated and hurt, he was faced with the reality of cancer affecting his own life. But with constant support from his wife and doctor, he is doing well.
What was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience?
I have a bad back anyway, but it got to the point it was hurting so bad, I couldn't lift anything. I felt like it was more than just my back. I thought maybe I had a hernia. I had a hernia before, and that's kind of what it felt like.
What was the diagnosis experience like?
I went to my family doctor for my annual physical and he found a cyst on my testicle. So he set me up at the hospital to have outpatient surgery to remove the cyst. But when they got in there, they discovered that the cyst consisted of a lot of little tumors. When I woke up, he explained that the cyst was full of tumors, so they had to remove my testicle. At that time he told me that is wasn't cancerous. A few days later he called and told me that it was cancer.
What was your initial and then longer-term reaction to the diagnosis?
When I found out I had testicular cancer, I was discouraged and hurt. I felt like my world had come to an end. I guess when you hear the word cancer, you think of other people having it, but not you. Then of course, I thought I was going to die. He called me on the phone and gave me the news that it was malignant, then made an appointment for me to come in and talk about it. When I went back to the doctor and he explained that my chance of recovery was 97%, I felt much better. He said that if they saw any signs that the cancer was back, they would probably see it in my chest first. The first year I was getting a CAT scan every three months, and chest x-rays and blood tests every month. I was afraid the cancer was going to come back. The doctor explained what would happen if the cancer showed up in my chest, and that scared me more than anything. I didn't really want to know to details of what "could" happen.
How is testicular cancer treated?
They removed the testicle that was full of tumors. I didn't have to have any chemotherapy or radiation. The first year I was getting CAT scans every three months and chest x-rays and blood tests every month. Then the second year, I had a CAT scan every six months and a chest x-ray and blood tests every other month. I wasn't on any medications. I'm pretty careful about taking medication because of my history with alcoholism. I have an addictive personality, so I would rather stay away from medication all together if possible. Now I just go for my physical every year.
Did you have to make any lifestyle or dietary changes in response to having testicular cancer?
I haven't really changed any of my eating habits. My lifestyle has gotten a little different, in that I appreciate what I have every day. I've learned to take one day at a time.
Did you seek any type of emotional support?
Most of the support came from my wife. Our church was also very supportive. They brought meals and were always praying for us. My doctor was also very supportive. He was always reassuring me that everything was going to be okay. After all the blood tests, he would sit down and go over the results with me.
Does having testicular cancer have an impact on your family?
Yes. First, I think we prepared for the worst. We have a 31-year-old son who lives with us and is mentally handicapped. Because both my wife and I have had health problems, we were forced to think about what would happen to our son if something happened to us. That was a big concern. Other than that, we just kept hoping that everything was going to be all right. My wife encouraged me when I would get down, and I would encourage her when she was down. We didn't really share a lot of details with our son, because we didn't want him to worry. But I think he was more aware of what was happening than we thought.
What advice would you give to anyone living with testicular cancer?
Try not to overreact. Sometimes you get down, but don't stay down and feel sorry for yourself. Accept the things you can't change. Seek out positive people in your life to help you through. People who are upbeat seem to beat things quicker than people who are always down.

Why Boeing's dream plane is causing headaches

FILE - In this Nov. 4, 2012 file photo, a Boeing 787 takes off from George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. Boeings Dreamliner has had a rough week, capped off Friday, Jan. 11, 2013 with a decision by the Federal Aviation Administration to review everything from the design to manufacturing of the new airplane. Government officials were quick to say that the plane is safe, however a fire Monday, Jan. 7, and subsequent spate of technical problems raised enough questions to prompt this highly unusual review.

The Vampire Diaries Round Table: "Dangerous Liaisons"Matt Richenthal at .
One dastardly mother. One aspiring landscape artist. One ridiculously hot sex scene.
The Vampire Diaries may have aired a slow episode this week, but it's all relative. There's still PLENTY for our Round Table panel of Matt Richenthal, Steve Marsi, Eric Hochberger and Dan Forcella to analyze from "Dangerous Liaisons." And they get right to it below...
What was your favorite scene from the episode?
Matt: Sometimes the obvious choice is the only one. Especially when it involves clothes being torn off and gorgeous female vampires being pinned against the wall. Yeah. The sex scene.
Steve: Stelena almost kissing. They're totally setting up the love triangle to end all love triangles and it's getting more riveting by the week. Take note, Gossip Girl.
Eric: In an episode filled mostly with conversation and tension, I have to thank Damon for shaking things up when he attacked Kol. Oh wait, should have read question two...
Dan: Not a scene, per se, but my favorite single moment from the episode was learning that the Originals' last name is Mikaelson. That means that dear old father's full name was Mikael Mikaelson! I can't believe Damon didn't have any quick-witted commentary on that little nugget
Dumber Damon decision: going after Kol, telling Elena he loves her or getting it on with Rebekah?
Matt: It may have seemed romantic, but come on. D dropped the L bomb way too quickly. The two just kissed a couple weeks ago. He has to woo Elena a bit, take her out to dinner, buy her some flowers for Valentine's Day. Did he really think she was in the proper state of mind to simply melt over his declaration?
Steve: Going after Kol. The other two decisions can be chalked up to other urges that are far more understandable than picking a fight with an Original and potentially his entire family. Not even Damon can take all six of them.
Eric: Well, I'm blaming the first and third on the second, so let's go with the unreciprocated declaration. Maybe you should try dating her first. Or finding someone that didn't date your brother for two years.
Dan: Anything but the last one. Did you see that final scene? I'm still all hot and bothered after witnessing it. If Esther's plan works, who knows what kind of consequences can even come to Damon? So I'd have to go with choice two.
Harder to believe: Esther wants to murder her own children, Elena and Caroline know how to do a centuries-old waltz or Matt lives in Mystic Falls with no health insurance?
Matt: Shouldn't there be a fourth option: that Matt is the starting quarterback for Mystic Falls High School? Have we ever seen him practice in the last two seasons?!? The only use of Matt's shoulder that we've witnessed recently has been a spot for Caroline and Elena to cry on. He should be dedicating more time to overcoming a zone blitz and less time to overcoming an impending hybrid army.
Steve: Two of the three are quite believable, at least in the world of The Vampire Diaries. After Klaus killed Esther, and she spent a 1,000 years ruminating on that from the other side, why wouldn't she want payback? As for Elena and Caroline, all the town does is throw balls, dances and festivals with age-old traditions. Obviously MF teens can waltz like no other. The only dubious option is Matt's insurance status. He's still a dependent who's in high school, right? And from a seemingly well-off or at least middle-class family? No way he needs Obamacare.
Eric: Please, Steve, Mystic Grill is way too small to fall under Obamacare, even if it does monopolize the Mystic Falls bar scene. And it's only been one episode of Esther, we'll learn more. So the real question is: how the heck does everyone knew that Waltz!? Man, I need to sign up for lessons. You never know when vampires are coming to town to throw a ball.
Dan: Yeah, the revenge is warranted and it is a very historic town, so the winner is Matt not having insurance. Even though Zach Roerig turns 27 soon, he's playing a 17-year old who would be on his parents health insurance. I don't care if his parents deserted him, he's still under their care, right?
Klaroline: Are you buying it at all?
Matt: No, this was my one major complaint from the episode. There was too much pandering to the show's shippers. Between the glances at the ball and the extended tease of Caroline softening to Klaus, it really came across like the writers' priority was to fie up the Twitter world.
Steve: Not particularly, but I'll tell you what I am buying: One of Klaus' paintings, for Dan Forcella, whose man-crush surely grew even more intense last night.
Eric: I was the biggest disbeliever until the sketch of Caroline and the horse. Not sure if I'm buying any art pieces or relationships yet, but I am certainly buying into half the relationship.
Dan: OHHHHH. EMMMMM. GEEEEEE. It's like a magical conjunction for me! My Klaus and my Caroline together for the end of time? Jetting off to Paris, Rome and Tokyo to take in the sights? My heart is surely a flutter! I'm buying. I'm buying it big time! Steve, I will take as many Klaus paintings as you want to buy me. Eric, that sketch, yup! Wow. Klaroline FTW!
Which newly awakened Original made a better first impression: Kol or Finn?
Matt: Kol clearly had the better lines, but he's pretty much a male version of Rebekah and we've seen that attitude before. But for Finn to be totally down with his own death? There's gotta be more to his story. I'm intrigued.
Steve: Neither really. They were sort of on the periphery with Esther commanding the attention. This isn't necessarily bad, though. They're still Originals who can pop off and crush some poor Grill employee's hand at a moment's notice. An air of mystery lingers with those two around for sure. Seemingly irrelevant, you get the feeling they could instantly become relevant ... unlike certain witches/Petrovas who have become mere plot devices.
Eric: How is that a question? Kol had his hilarious love affair with the mirror and crushed the quarterback's hand. What did Finn have besides a weirdly sexual moment with his mother?
Dan: Finn made almost no impression on me, so I guess I have to go with Kol.

After turbulent times Iraqi Airways reaches for the skies
By Daisy Carrington, for CNN • Published 10th June 2013
Even during difficult times, Iraqi Airways is aiming high.
Earlier this year Iraq's national carrier started expanding its route network for the first time in 23 years.
It added flights between Baghdad and London, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, and even Kuwait. In the next few months, the airline is planning on adding connections to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Kuala Lumpur, and destinations throughout China, hoping ultimately to expand its network from 15 to 40 by 2017.
"The main draw right now is for Iraqis visiting family and friends. There are four million Iraqis living outside of Iraq, so that's a big market," says Saad Al Khafaji, a spokesman for the airline.
John Strickland, an independent transport consultant, notes that the country's position as a recovering post-war country actually puts the airline in good stead.
"There's a short-term boost from all the workers going in to get the country back on its feet, including NGOs and construction companies. Now that it's on the mend, there's a lot of potential, and as the oil industry continues to grow, it will continue to generate a lot of interest," he says.

The carrier first attempted a comeback in 2010, but was thwarted by a $1.2 billion lawsuit by Kuwait, which claimed Iraq owed it for aircraft destroyed during the first Gulf War. Now that the suit has been settled, Iraqi Airways seems eager to again reach for the skies. Al Khafaji says the company has invested $700 million so far on a new fleet, including ten Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
"If you look at the planes Iraqi Airways is ordering, they're really moving towards the next generation aircraft," says Strickland. "Given Iraq's location, it will put them in a position where they'll be able to reach most places in the world on a non-stop basis."
The Iraqi government is also making significant contributions on the ground. The country's vast oil revenues (it is now OPEC's second biggest producer) are helping to renovate libraries, museums and archaeological relics -- such as the 1,500-year-old Arch of Ctesiphon.
"The government's objective is to show Iraq isn't just about bombings. There is actual movement to restore the museums, and bring back some of the tourists," says Denise Natali, a Middle East expert at the National Defense University in Washington.
Iraq's Ministry of Transport is also investing heavily in its airports. Plans are currently underway to add three new terminals to Baghdad Airport, doubling its annual capacity to 15 million passengers.
Similarly ambitious airport projects are in the works throughout the country, backed partly by the premise that a transport hub will spur growth in the surrounding cities.

"The cities will grow towards the airport," says Layla Kareem, the project manager for yet-to-be-built Middle Euphrates International Airport (MEIA). The airport, which will have a capacity of 60 million passengers annually after the completion of the first stage (projected 2017), will be situated near the holy city of Karbala, a place of pilgrimage for the region's Shiite Muslims.
There is still the issue of ongoing violence in the capital and other parts of the country that the tourism industry has the contend with.
The last few months have been the deadliest in the country for five years. According to the United Nations mission to Iraq, last month witnessed 1,045 violent deaths, and another 712 in April, leaving one to ponder whether the country's investment isn't premature.
"There's this idea that the government isn't functioning due to infighting. The truth is, in spite of the terrible bombings in Baghdad, you have considerable progress in the North and South. Those are areas the violence hasn't really touched," says Natali.
"At the end of the day, it's the airports that bring in the people that are going to make Iraq stronger. As the airports develop, so too do the cities and towns around them."

The recorder supports a broad range of high definition and standard definition recording formats including 1080 at 60p/50p/60i/50i/25p/24p; 720 at 60p/50p/24p; and 480/60i; 576/50i in the DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV codecs. The unit plays back HD/SD content automatically (no need to change settings) and is internationally operable in 50Hz or 60Hz.
|The AJ-PD500's "SuperSpeed" USB 3.0 host interface permits super-fast transfer rates of up to 4.8Gbps. This allows users to easily transfer content to low-cost hard disk drives or solid-state drives for a fast and safe deliverable to clients. When attached to a computer, the USB device mode allows the PD500 to become a two-card microP2 or P2 drive. In addition, users can connect a hard drive to the AJ-PD500, allowing the preview of non-real-time content. This functionality allows for the confirmation of content copied to a drive, and for the reviewing of previously-shot content on a drive.
The recorder's HDMI output enables the transmission of uncompressed digital data to an array of consumer playback devices (video projectors, digital televisions). The deck offers an RS-422A control, thereby allowing it to be controlled as a video source by nonlinear editing systems and colour correction systems. The PD500 features wired connection ability and Gigabit Ethernet. The AJ-PD500 also includes audio I/Os, headphone jack and speaker, timecode in/out and a reference sync input.
Additional valuable features include up/down conversion, a USB keyboard connection for easy metadata input, waveform and vectorscope display functions, and a selection from many functions for allocation to six user buttons.
In addition to the standard high-resolution proxy recording and AES/EBU four channel 24-bit audio, there is the option to playback AVCHD content*1.
