Wow, that was a rough day. So many stories to tell, and so much pain to describe, but I'll be succinct and focus on little stories/tidbits.
– Woke up at 4 a.m., out of the house at 5:15 a.m., and took a cab to the subway. Got there early, so went inside a 24 hour Duane Reade and read US Weekly.
– Met up with my best buddy Fernando at the W 72nd Subway at 6 a.m. and took it down to the Staten Island Ferry. Met up with another friend Isela. Once on SI, saw another friend Bill. Took a bus from the ferry to Fort Wadsworth to wait until race start.
At the Staten Island Ferry with Fernando.
– The day before, went to a thrift store and bought some warm clothing and a fleece blanket to keep me warm during the wait, which wound up being like 2 hours. Scores of others seemed to have the same idea. No one appeared to be fashion conscious.
– At race start, temps were in the low 40s and winds were howling. Once on the Verrazano Bridge (I was on the lower level), wind speeds picked up. Easily exceeded 40 mph. Smaller female runners in front of me were literally blown off their feet and into other runners. I wore two thin long-sleeved tops with a short-sleeved MagnaCare racing shirt on top, and MagnaCare tri shorts on the bottom. Wore a visor and over-the-ear headphones with an arm-band holding my iPhone. Created a 7 hour playlist of great tunes to keep me well entertained. Coldness and wind had no effect on my spirit. I like battling bad weather. I don't like running into a headwind for 20 miles though.
– Once over the bridge and into Brooklyn, winds seemed to die down and sun came out. People discarded clothing like at a burlesque club. Became a little dangerous for those folks who had to run over clothing in the roadway thanks to others who didn't make a better effort to throw extra clothing to the side.
– Running through Brooklyn was uneventful, but still magical and fun. This was the easiest part of the race, and the most enjoyable thanks to crowd support. Saw childhood best friend Jeff and his son Aedan. Missed seeing my friend James and Fernando's brother Louis, but was still in very good spirits. Focused hard to maintain a light and easy pace. Music had me pumping my fist and run-dancing at times.
– Crossed the Pulaski Bridge into Queens and missed my friend John, but did see friends Brian and Christine. Noticed their sign saying "Go Greg Gordon." Misspelling of my name got me into a tizzy (which they didn't see) but found myself distracted thinking about it and covered a mile swamped in those thoughts. I owe them thanks for that.
– Before I knew it, we were ascending the Queensboro Bridge. MANY people walking and in pain; I took little steps, found a good rhythm and had zero issues. Only pain was the descent; legs began to show major signs of fatigue.
– 1st Avenue was crazy as always, but I drowned it out with my music and was primarily focused on running on the left side to see various friends who said they'd be out watching. Saw John and Deanna at 85th Street, then Karen and Cindy a little bit later. Just before that, saw Jeff T. but had to shout out his name as he had missed me. Later saw college friend Andrea volunteering at a water station, then saw friend Michael at like 102nd Street who gave me a huge reception. Felt so good at a time when I began to feel so bad. Legs really began to fail me (around mile 18), but then saw three or four tri friends who cheered me on, and which boosted me a bit (pride and vanity are powerful motivators).
– Got to the 1st Ave Bridge and found it again to be easy. Realized going uphill was a piece of cake; downhills were a concern.
– Found myself struggling badly in the Bronx and was consumed with thinking about my beautiful Roya and how badly I wanted to see her at mile 21.5. Knew it wasn't long to see her, and committed to not stop until I did. It became painful to run to the Madison Avenue Bridge, but persevered.
– As I got onto 5th Avenue, my buddy Brad was there (as a spectator/supporter) and ran with me towards my brownstone. With a block to go, he ran ahead and told them I was about to come by. Saw my poor mom suffering in the cold just to see me, and I gave her maybe a 30 second hug, kissed her, told her how much she meant to me, then greeted everyone else (Roya, neighbors, my super, Dad). Spent maybe 2 minutes with them, cracked some jokes, then took off with Brad.
– Made it to 118th Street before I finally had to walk. Started running again at 112th Street and ran to 102nd Street before walking again. Started running again at 98th Street, said goodbye to Brad at 91st Street, and entered Central Park at 90th Street. In the walk/run pattern, major issues with roving cramps, the perception of very weak joints (felt like legs were toothpicks ready to snap), and general apathy, but I kept my smile and tried to be cheery. Brad was the best distraction I could ask for.
Amazing friend Brad running with me for support.
– Saw tri-friend Alex who took an amazing picture of me looking happy… and I was generally happy to be a part of it, but I was physically destroyed and still had a 5k left.
Mile 23. Looks like I'm feeling great! I wasn't.
– Walked/ran intermittently until mile 25 and committed to myself that I would run the final mile no matter what. Got to mile 25.2 (per GPS) which was roughly in the ramp between Grand Army Plaza and the Central Park Drive. A couple of people patted me on the back with encouragement; I received it well emotionally but couldn't produce much outward emotion to show thanks.
– Ran across 59th Street and didn't acknowledge the crowds. I was embarrassed to be in such bad shape, I was battling so many physical issues, and I had to focus on just getting one step in front of the other on the pavement.
– Made the turn at Columbus Circle and entered back into Central Park. Spirits definitely improved and I did my best to look around and appreciate everything around me.
– Got to the left side of the finish line and crossed with my hands in the air. I had hoped to feel exalted and thrilled, but I instead felt tremendous discomfort. I knew it would be temporary and I was not in any danger, so I swallowed it all, tried to show grace to other athletes (a few hugs given to strangers), profusely thanked the person who gave me my medal and my bag of treats/drinks, and muddled through the crowd.
– We were supposed to walk for a long while, but I saw a few athletes skip in between some gates, so I followed suit and got out of the park as fast as I could. The speed with which I moved was comparable to hot lava flowing.
– Made it to Central Park West and called Roya. Coordinated a meetup, called an Uber car, and got home. Getting out of the Uber car was a major challenge, and walking down the block to my home was with a speed comparable to cold lava flowing.
– Took the next day off and went to the finish line with Fernando to take selfies and take in the aura of what we had accomplished. En route, we came across this massive hill and were challenged to ascend it. It must have had a 1% grade for like 6 or 7 feet in length, but despite both of us suffering from extreme stiffness and soreness, we huffed over it in record time (easily under 2 minutes) but the descending stairs leaving one of the tents became a grave challenge that was mitigated only by the presence of a handrail, on which my hand laid down a death grip. A few minutes later, mission accomplished and we were at the bottom of that intense challenge. 8 steps have nothing on us marathoners!
Fernando and I celebrating my 2nd finish and his 10th in a row. He's incredible and so inspiring.
– Second day after the race and stiffness and soreness still prevail. Brought the finisher's medal to work and colleagues are impressed. Invariably, the question is asked about my time. I try to be swift and accurate, but cannot avoid the reality that I just wasn't ready and that it was only sheer will power that got me through. I'm no quitter.
– Said on race day, "This is it. No more long course stuff for me. This body just isn't made for long course." Said today to Fernando, "Strongly thinking about avenging this experience in 2016." Amazing how a period of reflection can create an illusion of ability.

I filmed the entire procedure ala Final Destination 3 and I'll put up the video soon.
This was Rene's choice and it's basically an indoor ride through a simulated pirate alcove.
I love this ride. I have the full video footage too.
We also went on the Bumper Boats (Rene's choice obviously).
It was serene but not the adrenaline rush I wanted.

I pulled it out of the box, added fuel/oil and chain oil, and it won't even try to start. I've left it and tried thinking 3 different times (thinking I may have flooded it) but it doesn't even try and start with the full choke on. Thoughts?

Thank you contacting the Answer Army.
Sorry you are experiencing issues with your chain saw.
Please follow your operator's manual for correct starting procedure.
Please contact an authorized Husqvarna dealer in your area for evaluation and repair.
I had the same problem with my brand new 460 Rancher. Need to follow the exact steps outlined in the owner's manual. Deviate from that procedure, and I ran into trouble, couldn't start the saw.
However, follow the procedure, and it will always start on the second or third pull, remembering when you hear the "puff" sound like it just about started, pushing in the decompression valve button again is a fatal flaw.
mr. Carlson, of course you know how to start a chainsaw. only a Husqvarna rep would suspect that could be the problem. Husqvarna sends saws out into the market with bad compression relief valves. when the valve sticks open, it doesn't matter what you try to do to start the saw, it will not compress enough air to ignite the mixture. they sent the same problem to me. I am a professional mechanic that re-builds/repairs chainsaws. Husqvarna uses the same supplier of their valves to this very day, because they are stupid. I hope they got your saw fixed up for you.


RED BLUFF — The Saturday Market By The River, operated by Slow Foods Shasta Cascade as a year-round farmers market, is adding a new component – Kids Corner, which will be held on the fourth week of each month.
The first Kids Corner was held Saturday with Jessica Coombs and Shelly Johnson taking the helm of the activity center. It offered visiting children the chance to become farmers themselves.
Each child was given the chance to plant seeds donated by Redwood Seeds, Coombs said. Options included lettuce and sunflowers.
"It's one of many new activities that are going to be happening," said Kathy Moore, manager of the market.
The Saturday Market was started as a year-round offering at Frontier Village and later at The Home Depot before merging with the Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce Saturday market about two and a half years ago, Moore said. The two operate side by side through the summer with the Slow Food Shasta Cascade vendors continuing the market during the rest of the year.
Coombs said the addition of Kids Corner came out of Moore talking with her about being a vendor.
The pair decided to offer monthly activities that incorporate the children into the market and tie into the season, Johnson said.
The activities will take place weather permitting. For more information, visit the Saturday Market by the River Facebook page.

Fred Trump, Born in the U.S.A.
Trump may be the biggest idiot in America. Or he deserves our compassion for his cognitive challenges.
Speaking to reporters April 2, President Trump said his father "was born in a very wonderful place in Germany." Fred Trump was born in New York.
Of all the odd, counterfactual and conspiratorial claims President Trump has made over the past four years or so, this one may take the cake: He said Tuesday that his father was born in Germany, even though he wasn't.
It is at least the third time he has said this.
This is not true. Fred Trump is of German descent, and his father was a German immigrant. But Fred Trump was born in New York.
If you ask most adults—and many children—they can tell you what country their parents were born in. You probably know what country your parents were born in. Maybe there are cases where parents were unclear or unsure, or wanted to hide their origins, but otherwise most people know.
It is possible that given Trump's predilection to lie, this is just one more. On the other hand, maybe he is cognitively off balance, and he has actually forgotten where his father was born. Either way, every attempt by those who know where their parents were born to escape the Twilight Zone has once again been thwarted. It's been surreal.

Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 Intel P55 Express Motherboard Review
Abstract: The GA-P55A-UD6 has a trio of new improvements in the form of SATA 6.0 GB/s using a Marvell SE9128 controller for faster hard drive transfers, enhanced USB voltage capabilities and USB 3.0 support for high-speed peripherals thanks to a NEC µPD720200 controller.

Gigabyte's flagship GA-P55-UD6 motherboard has just been ousted from its position as the company's top Intel P55 Express-based platform! What could Gigabyte possibly replace this motherboard with... but itself? Meet the Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6, a special revision of the original P55-UD6 motherboard that adds next generation features to Gigabyte's already double-stuffed flagship motherboard.
To be specific, that extra "A" in GA-P55A-UD6 means that this motherboard is part of Gigabyte's "333" series of motherboards. The GA-P55A-UD6 has a trio of new improvements in the form of SATA 6.0 GB/s using a Marvell SE9128 controller for faster hard drive transfers, enhanced USB voltage capabilities and USB 3.0 support for high-speed peripherals thanks to a NEC µPD720200 controller.
We're is already seeing the first SATA 6Gb/s products hitting the market in the form of ultra-high-speed SSDs, so this new addition is very welcome. USB 3.0 is expected to make a big splash this year, with USB 3.0 flash drives, USB-based displays and high-definition cameras all using the higher-bandwidth I/O bus.
Gigabyte's GA-P55A-UD6 motherboard posses the same specifications common to every Intel P55 Express chipset motherboard. The motherboard supports all of Intel's Core i5 700-series and Core i7 800-series processors, and will work with the Core i3 500-series and Core i5 600-series with the processor's on-board graphics disabled. This motherboard supports both 32nm and 45nm socket LGA1155/1156 processors, which Intel has said it will support at least until 2014.
Like its predecessor, Gigabyte's GA-P55A-UD6 motherboard includes additional slots for DDR3 memory. There are six banks which will accommodate DDR3 memory - making it easier to mix and match pairs of memory as you upgrade your computer. Like other Intel P55 Express motherboards, the GA-P55A-UD6 has a maximum of 16GB of memory and operates in dual-channel mode. Supported memory speeds include DDR3-800/1066/1333 and 2200MHz when overclocked. High performance memory from the likes of Corsair or OCZ can raise overall system performance by as much as 15%, so having support for faster memory speeds will definitely be a draw for enthusiasts.
On the graphics card front the Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 supports both NVIDIA SLI and ATI's CrossfireX. The Intel "Lynnfield" CPU and its on-board PCI Express controller supply x16 lanes of PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth. This connectivity can be directed to the GA-P55A-UD6's primary PCI Express x16 slot, or divided for dual x8/x8 bandwidth when running multiple NVIDIA Geforce or ATI Radeon videocards. The GA-P55A-UD6 has a third PCI Express x16 slot (with x4 connectivity). If this slot is populated with a PCI Express x4 device it will disable the PCI Express x1 slots and the GA-P55A-UD6's eSATA ports (you can turn this on and off via the BIOS). In addition to its PCI Express x16 slots, the GA-P55A-UD6 has a pair of PCI slots and two PCI Express x1 slots.
As Gigabyte's new flagship motherboard for the Intel P55 Express chipset, the GA-P55A-UD6 will cost around $270 CDN ($250 USD £130 GBP) through stores like NCIX, CanadaComputers, Misco.co.uk or NewEgg. This is about average for an upper-end performance motherboard, and falls in line with the rest of Gigabyte's pricing for its Intel P55 Express-based motherboards.
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 Motherboard
INCLUDES: User's Manual, Driver CD, (4) SATA cables, eSATA connector, 2-way SLI bridge, I/O Shield, IDE cable.
Chipsets: Intel P55 Express
CPU Support: Intel Socket 1156
Memory Type: Dual Channel DDR3
Videocard Support: (1) PCI Express x16 2.0
Integrated Graphics: No
The boards storage builds upon the Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The PCH storage controller can handle up to six SATA connections at 3Gb/s in RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 modes. Gigabyte has augmented this with a Marvell 9128 storage controller that powers a pair of SATA 6Gb/s ports that can be run in RAID 0 mode. Finally, there's a JMicron JMB362 controller that powers two eSATA ports that can be run in RAID 0, 1 and JBOD modes. Tallying everything up and you get eight internal SATA connectors (two of which are 6Gb/s connections) and a pair of eSATA connectors.
On the rear panel of Gigabyte's GA-P55A-UD6 motherboard is every kind of I/O connector you could possibly need. Most important are the pair of SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports, which have a 4.8Gb/s bi-directional bus designed for high-bandwidth mass storage devices. Following this are six standard USB 2.0 ports (480Mb/s transfer), and a pair of hybrid eSATA/USB 2.0 ports. There are also dual-ethernet connections, dual 1394a firewire ports and a PS/2 keyboard port. Sound can be run through the coaxial and optical S/PDIF outputs, or through the 7.1 channel stereo output.
Gigabyte has also given the GA-P55A-UD6 board its Ultra Durable 3 treatment. Ultra Durable 3 is a set of manufacturing technologies that Gigabyte has added to many of its high end boards to improve the quality of components.
From its special 6-layer PCB with 2oz. copper substrate to the Japanese made solid state capacitors and electrical components and the energy saving features built into it, Gigabyte is certainly pulling out all the stops when it comes to making the GA-P55-UD6 competitive.
The GA-P55A-UD6 motherboard is also one of only a few motherboards to use a 24-phase power VRM design, which takes advantage of the GA-P55A-UD6's all solid-state capacitors, ferrite choke cores and low RDS MOSFETs.
USB 3.0, enhanced voltages, and SATA 6Gb/s - Gigabyte's '333'
The biggest change for the Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 from the original GA-P55-UD6 series is USB 3.0 support. This is the third major revision of the Universal Serial Bus standard that runs everything from your mouse and keyboard to flash drives to wifi adapters.
While USB 2.0's 480Mb/s maximum bandwidth was enough for smaller flash-memory based devices (like thumb drives or SD cards) USB 3.0 expands the bandwidth to 4.8Gb/s, much more appropriate for larger mass storage devices. Much of this speed improvement is due to USB 3.0 being a bi-directional bus, meaning it can transfer information to a device and to a host computer simultaneously. USB 3.0 is also backwards compatible, so you shouldn't have any problem plugging in USB 2.0 or USB 1.1/1.0 devices into the GA-P55A-UD6's fancy new ports.
NEC's µPD720200 controller powers the dual USB 3.0 ports on the GA-P55A-UD6.
Next up is a major boost to the electrical capabilities of all the USB ports. USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports natively carry some electricity to power or charge peripherals. Standard USB 2.0 ports are limited to 500mA maximum load, and the USB 3.0 specification increases this to 900mA, but the GA-P55A-UD6 increases its USB 2.0 power to 1500mA, and its USB 3.0 maximum power to 2700mA.
This isn't going to change the performance of your USB devices, but it will stop some especially power hungry USB devices like 2.5 inch hard drive enclosures from conking out unexpectedly, and increase overall system stability if you use a lot of USB devices (and who doesn't?). It's also useful for powering USB-based chargers like those used with the Apple iPad.
The Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6's final trick comes in the form of SATA 6Gb/s. Gigabyte incorrectly refers to this is as SATA 3.0 for marketing purposes, but the important thing to take away is more bandwidth for better data transfer rates. While standard rotational hard drives haven't exceeded the bandwidth of a typical SATA 3Gb/s connection, single solid-state drives can reach up to 2Gb/s sustained read rates, enough to run into a SATA bandwidth bottleneck in RAID modes. By moving to a SATA 6Gb/s bus, the GA-P55A-UD6 creates some future proofing for new storage drives, as well as opening up the possibilities of a blistering fast dual SSD setup in a striped RAID 0 mode. Simply Delicious.
Special Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 Features
The GA-P55A-UD6 is Gigabyte's flagship Intel P55 Express motherboard, so it's loaded up with features that you won't find on basic motherboards. Here's some of the extras that really stood out:
The GA-P55A-UD6 has a big power switch that's easy to find, and very helpful for when the motherboard is being tested or tweaked outside of the system chassis.
An on-board debug LED will give PORT 80 codes, which makes it easier to diagnose boot-up errors. It's a lot more convenient than diagnosing beep codes. Right beside it is an on-board reset switch. Before we move on, let's get a little familiar with the Intel P55 Express chipset...

A brawl at a business establishment ended with two people shot Sunday night in west suburban Montgomery.
At 10:32 p.m., officers were called to respond to a fight involving weapons at a business in the 2000 block of Orchard Road, according to Montgomery police. They then learned that an argument had escalated when one of the people involved pulled out a gun and started shooting.
Two people were hit and taken to Rush Copley Hospital, police said. Their gunshot wounds were not life-threatening, and they were later released.
No one was in custody as Montgomery and Kendall County police investigated.


THE objections of local residents to a new 1,000,000ft² data centre counted for little on Monday, as a proposal to vary the County Development Plan to facilitate the project at Toureen, on the outskirts of Ennis, was unanimously passed by Clare County Council.
The council claims that the project could deliver 200 permanent data centre jobs, another 150 ancillary jobs and 50 maintenance jobs. Some 1,100 construction jobs would be supported over five years of construction.
At the council meeting, director of service Liam Conneally reiterated his view that if the project goes ahead, it will be "a game changer" for Clare and Ennis. However, the data centre would not be one of the three largest employers in the county even if what is projected comes to pass.
Prior to the meeting, members of the council got a report from chief executive Pat Dowling, which summarised a number of submissions that had come in from the public, including one from a local residents' group,which was signed by 40 people.
The summary of their submission noted that they were "objecting strongly" to the development and there were numerous issues raised. "The pond on the site is fed by numerous springs in the area. The residents' group would have grave concerns regarding ground-water pollution in the area and of the pond. The location of diesel-fed back-up generators to facilitate the development is noted. The large surface car-parking areas could lead to ground-water pollution.
"A data centre and power plant by way of its height, sound, lighting, would be detrimental to those who walk, cycle, run and enjoy the countryside.
"The variation does not have regard to the volume of existing households, which would be adversely impacted by the proposed development, nor were they consulted in advance. Local residents who run businesses from their homes would be adversely impacted.
It added, "Clare County Council is requested to investigate other suitable sites in the environs of Ennis to see if a brown-field site would be more suitable".
Councillor Johnny Flynn also made a submission, expressing support for the general principles of data centres in Ennis and Clare. However, he also expressed concern about a lack of any requirement to provide buffer zones to mitigate impacts on adjoining residences and businesses, the need for improvements to the M18 and R352 and the need for flood-risk reduction.
at the planning application stage, whenever a specific detailed development proposal is made and where an assessment can be made of the impact of any proposal on the residential and other amenities of the area. As such, I do not consider that additional text or buffer zones should be included in the proposed variation.

Cervical dilation  (or cervical dilatation) is the opening of the cervix, the entrance to the uterus, during childbirth, miscarriage, induced abortion, or gynecological surgery.  Cervical dilation may occur naturally, or may be induced surgically or medically.

In childbirth
In the later stages of pregnancy, the cervix may already have opened up to 1–3 cm (or more in rarer circumstances), but during labor, repeated uterine contractions lead to further widening of the cervix to about 6 centimeters.  From that point, pressure from the presenting part (head in vertex births or bottom in breech births), along with uterine contractions, will dilate the cervix to 10 centimeters, which is "complete." Cervical dilation is accompanied by effacement, the thinning of the cervix.

General guidelines for cervical dilation:
 Latent phase: 0–3 centimeters
 Active Labor: 4–7 centimeters
 Transition: 8–10 centimeters
 Complete: 10 centimeters. Delivery of the infant takes place shortly after this stage is reached (although the mother does not always push right away.)

Symptoms
During pregnancy, the os (opening) of the cervix is blocked by a thick plug of mucus to prevent bacteria from entering the uterus. During dilation, this plug is loosened. It may come out as one piece, or as thick mucus discharge from the vagina. When this occurs, it is an indication that the cervix is beginning to dilate, although not all women will notice this mucus plug being released.

Bloody show is another indication that the cervix is dilating. Bloody show usually comes along with the mucus plug, and may continue throughout labor, making the mucus tinged pink, red or brown. Fresh, red blood is usually not associated with dilation, but rather serious complications such as placental abruption, or placenta previa.  Red blood in small quantities often also follows an exam.

The pain experienced during dilation is similar to that of menstruation (although markedly more intense), as period pains are thought to be due to the passing of endometrium through the cervix. Most of the pain during labor is caused by the uterus contracting to dilate the cervix.

Induced dilation in childbirth
Prostaglandins (P2 and PGE2) contribute to cervical ripening and dilation. The body produces these hormones naturally. Sometimes prostaglandins in synthesized forms are applied directly to the cervix to induce labor.  In women who have had a previous cesarean section, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued a bulletin that misoprostol never be used for this purpose. ACOG's findings conclude that the collagen softening properties of misoprostol could be absorbed through the cervix and vaginal vault up into the low transverse scar of a typical cesarean section, and significantly increase the risk of uterine rupture.  Prostaglandins are also present in human semen, and sexual intercourse is commonly recommended for promoting the onset of labor, although the limited data available makes the effectiveness of this method uncertain.

Other means of natural cervical ripening include nipple stimulation, which produces oxytocin, a hormone which is necessary for uterine contractions. Nipple stimulation can be performed manually, by use of a breast pump, or by suckling. Henci Goer, in her comprehensive book, The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth, details how this practice was researched in two separate studies of 100 and 200 women in the mid nineteen-eighties. Women were assigned randomly to two groups. In one group, nipples were stimulated for one-hour sessions, three times per day. In the other group, women were to avoid any form of nipple stimulation or sexual intercourse. The researchers concluded in both studies that nipple stimulation could indeed ripen the cervix and in some cases induce uterine contractions. Goer further notes that in the smaller study, an external fetal monitor was used, and no uterine hyperstimulation was noted.

Cervical dilation may be induced mechanically by placing devices inside the cervix that will expand while in place.  A balloon catheter may be used.  Other products include osmotic dilators, such as laminaria stick (made of dried seaweed) or synthetic hygroscopic materials, which expand when placed in a moist environment.

Results from 2021 systematic reviews of the literature found no differences in cesarean delivery, neonatal, nor maternal outcomes between inpatient or outpatient cervical ripening.

In abortion care
In treatment of spontaneous or induced abortion, preparation (softening and dilating) of the cervix allows the cannulae vacuum aspiration to pass more easily into the uterus, which may make the procedure shorter in duration, more comfortable for the patient, and easier to perform. Preparation may also reduce the rare complications of uterine perforation and cervical injury. Options for cervical preparation prior to the abortion procedure include osmotic dilators and pharmacologic agents. Osmotic dilators produce wide cervical dilation in a predictable fashion and are generally used in more advanced pregnancies. Pharmacologic agents, such as misoprostol and mifepristone, soften the cervix and facilitate cervical dilation, and may be used alone in early pregnancy, or in combination with osmotic dilators prior to dilation and evacuation.

In hysteroscopy

In hysteroscopy, the diameter of the hysteroscope is generally too large to conveniently pass the cervix directly, thereby necessitating cervical dilation to be performed prior to insertion. Cervical dilation can be performed by temporarily stretching the cervix with a series of (cervical) dilators of increasing diameter. Misoprostol prior to hysteroscopy for cervical dilation appears to facilitate an easier and uncomplicated procedure only in premenopausal women.

Home/news/Pleiotek Receives First Patent for Novel Transport and Storage Device for Transferring large amounts of Data in DIL Environments
Temkin Associates, LLC dba Pleiotek has received its first Patent (10,786,395) titled "Apparatus for processing healthcare data and storing and transmitting large amounts of data via a bandage or sticker". This patent is the first awarded patent for the company and describes a device the company has been researching and developing through the DHA SBIR program for moving large amounts of computable, structured, patient data, audio and video files on a patient from the point of injury through each echelon and role of care. The device is designed to work in Disconnected Intermittent and Low-Bandwidth (DIL) environments and addresses the current gaps in deployed capabilities to capture and transfer a complete treatment and intervention medical record with a wounded warrior as they are moved from point of injury onward.
Pleiotek CTO, Joshua Temkin, notes "This novel device has the potential to change the landscape of how mobile devices are used to capture medical information and transfer a complete history of medical interventions on a patient from point of injury onward in Theater or Austere environments". Mr. Temkin goes on to say "This device has the potential to vastly improve how treatment data is captured and transferred for both military and civilian use, providing the information needed to care providers during hand-offs quickly and completely enabling better decision making and holding the potential to improve patient outcomes"

Gareth has entrusted us with his rare E30 Alpina 2.7 Litre (one of only 200 made) to bring it back up to scratch.
The car is relatively straight, it is in need of a new roof, front spoiler and a few minor dents repaired.
The car has been fully stripped in preparation for the new roof to go on.
The majority of the roof has been cut away for the new one to be fitted.
the other being the rear inner wheel arch.
Luckily BMW still manufacture panels for their older cars so a new roof skin was shipped in from Germany and welded onto the car.
Despite having reasonably straight panel work most of the panels have been painted at least four to five times over the years so all the paint had to be removed to guarantee a quality respray.
The paint was stripped off and the bare metal treated.
Luckily the corrosion on the scuttle panel hadn't gone too far so only a small amount of metal work needed to be replaced.
With some new steel welded into place all that is needed is a small amount of stopper to finish off.
With all the repairs completed the car was treated to a liberal coating of 2k primer and flatted off in preparation for the top coatings.
Refinished in its original silver/grey the Alpina will now be flatted back and machine polished to a mirror finish.
The original Alpina wheels were in reasonable condition before but now look like new after the refurb, Gareth has also bought new all badges, locks and rubbers for the centre caps.
BMW still manufacture most parts for their older vehicles and Gareth has spared no expense on his car, replacing rubbers, seals ,mouldings, spoilers etc with new ones making the outside of his car pristine..
With the last few parts fitted the bodywork section of the rebuild is complete, the Alpina will be returning later for an engine bay repaint and engine and gearbox rebuild.
As Gareth's Alpina was the original press car in 1987 it was featured in Novembers issue of 'Fast Car' magazine .

This Is Us creator on 'dangerous' season finale: 'It changes everything'
March 14, 2017 Cinema Shed TV News 0
There may be devastation. There could be a twist. There might be a heart-to-heart. There probably definitely will be tears. Whatever the case, tonight's episode of This Is Us will bring the season to a close on some kind of emotional, provocative note.
Titled "Moonshadow," the season 1 finale (9 p.m. ET/PT) of the NBC family dramedy is "a very intense hour of television," creator Dan Fogelman tells EW. "It lives in a space we haven't quite lived in before, and it's a dangerous episode in that it makes me uncomfortable in the way you want to be uncomfortable if you're doing my job. I'm excited for people to see it."
The finale will focus primarily on Pearson patriarch and matriarch Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore), picking up where the last episode left off, with an intoxicated Jack getting into a car, aiming to repair his cracked marriage. It also transports you to a much earlier time in their lives — the year 1972, before they met. "This is the episode where you get to see Jack and Rebecca before there ever was a Jack and Rebecca," says Fogelman. "You see them in their much younger years as they're figuring out what kind of lives they want for themselves. Jack has returned from Vietnam — he is in a bad living situation at home with his parents — Rebecca is embarking on a music career that is not exactly breaking her way, and they're both trying to find their way through life. It's the story of how they were doing at that stuff before they had each other to lean on."
And for those fans who fastidiously follow the facial follicles of father Jack, this is the episode in which you experience him sans beard, mustache, or goatee. "This was always the plan: In the final episode of the season, we would see Jack in a younger age than we've seen him before," says Fogelman. "We knew the whole year was going to be a story about different forms of his facial hair and that the final episode of the season would reveal him clean-shaven for the first time… It was the first time we'd seen him all year without anything on his face. It was such a surprising shock, and we thought, 'Oh, people are going to love this.'"
It sounds like he thinks the same of a moment that will help close out the season. "There's a scene at the end that I'd put up there with anything we've done this season," he says. "I'm incredibly proud of Mandy and Milo as actors in the entire episode, but particularly this scene is just stunning. It's going to get a lot of people talking, and it's going to have a lot of people debating."
"[The finale] is going to answer some questions and make people ask some new ones, and change a lot of people's perceptions about where they think the show is going," says Fogelman. "Without giving much away, it changes everything — and maybe in ways people might be talking about, maybe in other ways."

Q: How to clone an ol3 style? I can't find any simple way to clone an ol3 style.  There is no clone() method and creating a style from a style (new ol.style.Style(style)) doesn't do it.  JSON.stringify doesn't produce anything usable, either.
Is there any ol3 code I might be overlooking for cloning styles?

A: Adapted from ol-debug.js:
var typeOf = function(obj){
    return ({}).toString.call(obj)
        .match(/\s([a-zA-Z]+)/)[1].toLowerCase();
};
function cloneObject(obj){
    var type = typeOf(obj);
    if (type == 'object' || type == 'array') {
        if (obj.clone) {
            return obj.clone();
        }
        var clone = type == 'array' ? [] : {};
        for (var key in obj) {
            clone[key] = cloneObject(obj[key]);
        }
        return clone;
    }
    return obj;
}
var circle = new ol.style.Style({
    image: new ol.style.Circle({
        radius: 5,
        fill: null,
        stroke: new ol.style.Stroke({
            color: [0,0,0,.9],
            width: 3
        })
    })
});
var cloned = cloneObject(circle);

I have a truly eclectic collection of layouts to share with you today.
Let's start with a look back a couple of months. With the slow start that spring is having right now (we're supposedly going to have snow fall all this week) I'd gladly even take autumn weather over this!
I love having fresh flowers in the house. I especially love white flowers, be it lilies, roses or like these, tulips. Tulips are especially lovely this time of year as I feel they kind bring the hope of spring and warmer weather.
I don't usually sit and do nothing. Even if I'm parked on the couch I'm usually working on the computer. But the other week, just before I got my computer back, I found myself collapsed on the sofa with absolutely no will or energy to do anything at all. I wasn't feeling 100%, struggling with some GI issues. I stayed exactly like that for two hours. At the end it felt so good to have just been still. I think I need to do this more often!

#520 Must a Biblical Doctrine of the Atonement Comprise Penal Substitution?
Dear Dr. Craig,
I have been enjoying your videos and podcasts about your study of the atonement. I have to admit though, that as of right now I don't accept penal substitution. Though I grew up with this view, I now hold a combination of the recapitulation and satisfaction theories. To briefly summarize for the readers, the recapitulation theory teaches that Jesus became like us and did what we should have done, so that in him, we might become like him and do what he did. This is perhaps the oldest theory of the atonement and is the basis for many later theories. The satisfaction theory of St. Anselm adds that Jesus's self sacrificial obedience served as restitution for our sins, or as Anselm calls it, satisfaction. In my opinion, these theories together are more Biblical and intellectually satisfying than penal substitution.
I'm writing to you because nearly every Christian that I look up to, especially yourself, believes that the Scriptures teach penal substitution. I feel like I'm missing something that maybe you can help me to see. In the Join Me In My Study series and the latest Defenders class you argue that the suffering of the Lord's servant in Isaiah 53, whom we identify as Jesus, clearly functions as substitutionary punishment.
First, you say that the phrase, "upon him was the chastisement that made us whole," in Isaiah 53:5 is an explicit reference to divine punishment. But doesn't the phrase, "we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted." in verse 4 imply the exact opposite, that he only appeared to be punished by God from a human perspective? Yes, as verses 7–8 say, he was afflicted and stricken, but it was by the injustice of men, not by the just condemnation of God. And yes, of course, as verse 10 says, it was God's will that he suffered and died as a sin offering, but that's far from saying he was punished by God.
Furthermore, I have a question about the meaning of the word translated as chastisement or punishment. I have no knowledge of Hebrew, but from my limited study, it sounds to me like it means discipline for one's good, not strictly punishment. As Hebrews 5:8–9 says, "he learned obedience through what he suffered; and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation," i.e. he endured discipline for our good. Is this not at least a possible, if not plausible reading of Isaiah 53:5?
Second, you argue that the idea of bearing sin means suffering the punishment for sin, citing Leviticus 24:15–16, where we find: "Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. He who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death." It's clear that in this context, bearing sin effectively means suffering the punishment for sin. But how do you account for passages like Leviticus 5:17–18, where the offerer of a guilt offering is said to bear his iniquity, and 10:17, where the priests are said to "bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them" by eating portions of the sin offerings? Are these examples also punitive?
There are so many more questions I would like to ask, but for the sake of brevity I'll leave it there.
Thank you, and God bless.
I was rather surprised by your statement that recapitulation and satisfaction theories are more biblical than penal substitution, Micah, since the biblical grounds for the former are slim, indeed, to put it mildly. In his classic study of the atonement A Critical History of the Christian Doctrine of Justification and Reconciliation (1870), Albrecht Ritschl begins his history with Anselm, not with the Church Fathers, because in his view the theories of the Church Fathers are not really theories of atonement (or reconciliation) at all but have to do with conquering Satan, corruption, and death. Atonement theories, properly speaking, have to do with "a removal of the one-sided or mutual contrariety between the Divine and human will." Accordingly, the speculations of the Church Fathers "about the redemption of the human race from Satan, and about the deification of the human race as a natural unity, do not fall under that notion."[1] My Doktorvater Wolfhart Pannenberg dismissed Anselm's satisfaction theory with the single sentence: "without . . . vicarious penal suffering, the expiatory function of the death of Jesus is unintelligible, unless we try to understand his death as an equivalent offered to God along the lines of Anselm's satisfaction theory, which has no basis in the biblical data."[2]
By contrast there are strong biblical grounds for the view that God inflicted upon Christ the suffering which we deserved as the punishment for our sins, as a result of which we no longer deserve punishment. My claim is that any biblically adequate doctrine of the atonement must include penal substitution as an essential element. That does not exclude recapitulation and satisfaction from also being part of a full-orbed theory of the atonement. Those elements can be included, too. You just should not omit penal substitution as an important element as well.
As you rightly observe, Isaiah 53 is a key passage. As I noted in Defenders, although some scholars (viz., R. N. Whybray) have claimed that the Servant of the Lord merely shares in the suffering of the Jewish exiles, this interpretation is rightly rejected because such an interpretation (i) does not make as good sense of the shock expressed at what Yahweh has done in afflicting His righteous Servant (Isaiah 52.14-53.4) and (ii) is less plausible in light of the strong contrasts, reinforced by the Hebrew pronouns, drawn between the Servant and the people.
With respect to (i), the verse you quote (v. 4) is part of the false estimate the people had of the Servant. But where they erred was in thinking that his affliction meant his rejection by Yahweh. What they come to see is that "it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain" (v. 10). As you note, what is startling is the injustice suffered by the Servant: he is God's righteous Servant, who does not deserve his fate. New Testament scholar Donald Carson emphasizes,
It is the unjust punishment of the Servant in Isaiah 53 that is so remarkable. Forgiveness, restoration, salvation, reconciliation–all are possible, not because sins have somehow been canceled as if they never were, but because another bore them unjustly. But by this adverb 'unjustly' I mean that the person who bore them was just and did not deserve the punishment, not that some moral 'system' that God was administering was thereby distorted.[3]
So, of course, the condemnation of the Servant was unjust. That's what's so shocking. (I think that perhaps you're confusing substitutionary suffering with the imputation of sins. There's no claim that Isaiah 53 teaches the imputation of the people's sins to Christ.) The Servant simply bears the punishment that the people deserved for their sins.
With respect to point (ii), the Hebrew pronouns reinforce the sharp contrast between the Servant and the people, showing that he does not merely join them in suffering. Here is how Hans-Jürgen Hermisson translates Isaiah 53.4:
Surely our infirmities–he bore them
and our diseases–he carried them.
Hermisson concludes, "One cannot therefore articulate this as R. N. Whybray has done –'He merely shared our sufferings'– in order to interpret the thought of vicarious suffering out of the text."[4] According to Otfried Hofius, the idea of substitutionary punishment "is expressed several times in the passage and should undoubtedly be seen as its dominant and central theme."[[5]Here is how Hofius translates v. 5:
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
and crushed for our iniquities.
The punishment for our salvation lay upon him,
and by his wounds, healing came to us.
The punishment (cf. NRSV) spoken of here cannot mean discipline, for it is clearly not for the benefit of the Servant, who is driven to death, but for the benefit of those on whose behalf he suffers.
Now, as you note, another indication that the suffering of the Servant is punitive is that he is said to bear our sins (Isaiah 53. 4, 11, 12). "Bearing sins (or iniquity)" is a common Hebrew idiom, which typically means, when used of people, to be held culpable or to endure punishment (e.g., Leviticus 5.1; 7.18; 19.8; 24.15; Numbers 5.31; 9.13; 14.34). I say "typically" because, as you note, when priests are said the bear the people's sins, the meaning is, rather, to make atonement (e.g., Leviticus 10.17: "that you may bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord"). But when people bear their own sins, the meaning, as Hofius puts it, is "to bear guilt" or "to bear the punitive consequences of one's guilt." He observes,
Elsewhere in the Old Testament the expression . . . usually appears only where persons must 'bear' the penal consequences of their own guilt– that is, in cases where they must 'do penance' for the evil that they themselves have committed and that now comes back up on them as a disaster. Here in Isaiah 53 by contrast–and only here –there is talk of one person 'bearing' substitutionarily the guilt of other persons; he thus suffers the penal consequences of alien guilt.[6]
So in the case you cite, Leviticus 5:17–18 is an example of the typical use of this Hebrew idiom. The NRSV renders these verses:
If any of you sin without knowing it, doing any of the things that by the Lord's commandments ought not to be done, you have incurred guilt, and are subject to punishment. You shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, or the equivalent, as a guilt offering; and the priest shall make atonement on your behalf for the error that you committed unintentionally, and you shall be forgiven.
By contrast in Isaiah 53 the Servant is the one who bears the sins of the people.
It remains only to emphasize once again how fundamental Isaiah 53 is for the theology of the New Testament. The New Testament authors—indeed, Jesus himself—identified Jesus with the righteous servant of Isaiah 53. I Peter 2.24 says of Christ, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." In light of Isaiah 53, texts like "Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures" (I Corinthians 15.3), ambiguous when taken in isolation, become pregnant with meaning. There is no other passage in the Jewish scriptures that could be construed as even remotely about Messiah's dying for people's sins. The formulaic expression "died for our sins" thus refers to substitutionary, punitive suffering. This meaning of "for" (hyper) is made clear by expressions like "delivered up for our trespasses" (Romans 4.25), where "for" translates dia + the accusative, meaning on account of, and "delivered up" and "trespasses" recalls Isaiah 53.7-8; similarly, Mark 10.45, "The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many," where "for" translates anti, "instead of," "in exchange of." II Corinthians 5.21, "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God," is seen to echo in all its parts Isaiah 53. "Who knew no sin" recalls "the righteous one, my servant," in whose mouth was no deceit (Isaiah 53.9, 11); "for our sake he made him to be sin" recalls "the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53.6); "in him we might become the righteousness of God" recalls "the righteous one, my servant, [shall] make many to be accounted righteous" (Isaiah 53.11). Again, no other Old Testament passage remotely approaches the content of this sentence.
The New Testament authors, then, following Jesus in his own self-understanding, saw Christ as the suffering Servant of Isaiah 53, who suffered in the place of sinners, bearing the punishment they deserved, that they might be reconciled to God. Penal substitution must therefore be a part of any biblically adequate atonement theory.
