The Tubes – Band Tonight in Bremen Germany ladies and gentlemen! – Coffee Time with The Tubes' Rick Anderson and Prairie Prince – Jon Hammond
L to R Rick Andrson, Jon Hammond, Prairie Prince
The Tubes is a San Francisco-based rock band whose 1975 debut album included the hit single "White Punks on Dope". During its first fifteen years or so, the band's live performances combined quasi-pornography with wild satires of media, consumerism, and politics.[citation needed] They are perhaps best remembered for their 1983 single "She's a Beauty", a top 10 U.S. hit with a frequently-played music video in the early days of MTV; and in the 1980 film Xanadu singing the rock portion of the cross-genre song "Dancin'" opposite a big band.

The Tubes started as a group of high school friends from Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona. Two Phoenix bands, the Beans and The Red, White and Blues Band, both relocated to San Francisco in 1969 and eventually merged. The new band's core membership remained largely intact for more than a decade: Fee Waybill (real name John Waldo Waybill) (vocals), Bill "Sputnik" Spooner (guitar, vocals), Roger Steen (guitar), Prairie Prince (real name Charles L. Prince) (drums), Michael Cotten (synthesizer), Vince Welnick (piano), and Rick Anderson (bass). Singer Re Styles (born Shirley Marie MacLeod) (vocals) and ex-Santana percussionist Mingo Lewis were also fixtures for much of the band's early history.[1]
Show business excess was a common theme of the band's early work, with Waybill sometimes assuming the onstage persona of "Quay Lewd" (a pun on Quaalude), a drunk, drugged out, barely coherent lead singer, wearing flashing glasses and stilt-like tall platform shoes.
Debut album[edit]
The Tubes' first self-titled album, The Tubes (1975), was produced by Al Kooper. The track "White Punks on Dope" was an "absurd anthem of wretched excess" and a tribute to their rich, white teenage fan base in San Francisco.[citation needed] Since then the song has been covered by Mötley Crüe, and the German rock musician Nina Hagen took the tune and set new lyrics to it (not a translation of the original lyrics), titled her work TV-Glotzer ("Couch Potato"), and used this song as the opening track of her own debut album Nina Hagen Band, released 1978 on CBS/Germany Records. The album track "What Do You Want from Life?", which became another of the Tubes' signature songs, satirizes consumerism and celebrity culture and climaxes in a "hard-sell" monologue by Waybill, which name-checks celebrities such as Bob Dylan, Paul Williams and Randolph Mantooth, as well as well-known products of the period, including the Dynagym exercise machine and a host of American vehicles such as the Winnebago and the Mercury Montclair.
Second album[edit]
The Tubes' second album, Young and Rich (1976) on A&M Records, was produced by Ken Scott. It featured "Don't Touch Me There", a suggestive duet between Waybill and Re Styles, which was arranged in classic "Wall of Sound" style by Jack Nitzsche. The song was co-written by Ron Nagle and Tubes dancer/vocalist Jane Dornacker, who died in a helicopter crash in 1986.
Third album, a live album, fourth album[edit]
The Tubes' third album gave way to thematic experimentation with Now (1977) and after their live record What Do You Want from Live (1978), recorded during their record breaking run at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, England, the fourth album for A&M, Remote Control (1979) was a concept album produced by Todd Rundgren about a television-addicted idiot-savant. The cover of Remote Control (1979) shows a baby watching American panel game show Hollywood Squares in a specially made "Vidi-Trainer".
Music videos[edit]
John Tobler opined that with their media savvy and theatrical skills, The Tubes were born to create rock video, but arrived several years too early.[2] However, the band did produce at least one collection of music videos, which were issued on the 1982 Pioneer Artists laserdisc "The Tubes Video" (this videodisc contained versions of twelve of the band's hits, including "White Punks on Dope", "Mondo Bondage", "Talk to Ya Later", and several others from yet-to-be-completed "The Completion Backwards Principle" album, in slickly produced music videos based on the group's stage shows).
Live shows[edit]
The Tubes put their creativity and art skills mainly into their live performances, in which songs could be full-fledged production numbers, from a beach movie parody for "Sushi Girl", to leather clad S&M hijinks in "Mondo Bondage", to the game show antics of "What Do You Want from Life?" At their peak, their live act featured dozens of other performers, including tap dancers and acrobats. The Tubes' stage productions were choreographed by Kenny Ortega and featured cast members Jane Dornacker, LeRoy Jones, Michael Holman, Michael Springer, Cindi Osborn, Heline Gouax, and Mary Niland from 1975-1977. From 1978-1979, the cast included Sharon Collins, Caty Bevan, and Loryanna Catalano. The Completion Backward tour featured Shelly Pang, Cheryl Hangland, Joey Richards, and Cynthia Rhodes. From 1983-1985, Michelle Gray (who later married Todd Rundgren) and Cheryl Hangland were principal dancers. Several crew members — including Tour Manager Steve "Chopper" Borges, Lee Collins, and Gail Lowe — made frequent appearances on stage in various roles as well.[citation needed]
The Tubes' live shows in the late 1970s and early 1980s were rife with allusions to mainstream film [Dr. Strangelove (1964), Rollerball (1975), Saturday Night Fever (1977), Grease (1978)] then-forgotten B-movies [Wild Women of Wongo (1958), Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958)], music (Tom Jones, punk rock, a medley of Nelson Riddle television themes), contemporary pop culture (Patty Hearst, the Viking program), television (Let's Make a Deal, Fernwood 2Nite, the anime Raideen), and literature (Nelson Algren's A Walk on the Wild Side), presaging the subcultural reverence and over-the-top theatricality of later groups like The World/Inferno Friendship Society.[citation needed]
These shows were expensive to produce, however, and while they earned the band a reputation for being one of the most entertaining live acts of the time, by the early 1980s, they found themselves short of money.
Departure from A&M Records and tenure with Capitol Records[edit]
Their fifth studio album, the self-produced Suffer for Sound, was meant to complete the group's contract with A&M. As its style marked a radical new direction for the band, A&M opted for a more conservative outtakes / B-sides / oddities selection titled T.R.A.S.H. (Tubes Rarities and Smash Hits) (1981).[3] The band was signed to Capitol Records by Bruce Garfield and Bobby Colomby, scaling back the live shows to cut costs and redesigning itself as a leaner ensemble with a view to release more accessible hits.
Fifth and sixth albums[edit]
Suffer For Sound was not released, so their fifth album release was The Completion Backward Principle (1981), another concept album, featuring the classic rock staple "Talk to Ya Later". The album presented itself as a motivational business document, complete with shocking pictures of the band members cleaned up and wearing suits.[citation needed] The band also had their first Top 40 hit in the United States in 1981, "Don't Want to Wait Anymore" (recorded almost entirely by Spooner, without Waybill's participation). The sixth studio album, Outside Inside (1983), followed a few years later and yielded a few hits, including the number 10 (USA) hit "She's a Beauty".
Seventh album and departure from Capitol Records[edit]
In 1985, the band teamed up with Todd Rundgren again for their seventh album, Love Bomb. With Bruce Garfield and Bobby Colomby dropped by Capitol in the company-wide layoffs that took place pre-reorganization, like many of their label mates The Tubes also were released, however, this occurred just as they were going on tour in support of the album. The band found it necessary to self-finance the tour as a matter of respect to honor their commitment to their fans. Between this tour's self-financing and the band's continued self-financing of their San Francisco recording studio built in 1980, the tour left the band in a half million dollars in debt, obliging them to play lesser expensive and smaller venues for a year to pay off their financial commitments.[3]
Waybill departs[edit]
Fee Waybill had already released an unsuccessful solo album (Read My Lips, Capitol Records) in 1984, but during this time, he had also happily enjoyed a fruitful writing partnership with fellow Capitol Records label mate Richard Marx, their most popular and well known collaboration being "Edge of a Broken Heart", recorded by the female band Vixen. Waybill left the band in 1986 ["Fee broke up", one band member said],[citation needed] leaving the band without a lead singer.
Personnel changes[edit]
Later in the year the remaining members of the band took on a longtime friend from Phoenix, Arizona, David Killingsworth, as lead vocalist. Killingsworth was the singer in the Red and White Blues Band with Prairie and Roger. Michael Cotten relocated to New York to pursue a career based on his artwork, stage design and production, and is considered one of the country's top production designers. In the fall of 1988, Bill Spooner traveled his final tour with the band and left in early 1989. Vince Welnick departed as well to take to the road with Todd Rundgren in 1989 and then joined the Grateful Dead in 1990. Gary Cambra joined on keyboards and guitar in 1989. He and Roger Steen took over most the lead vocal duties after Killingsworth left in early 1990.
Waybill returns[edit]
In 1993, Fee Waybill rejoined the band. This lineup toured Europe and released two albums, a compilation and the 1996 album Genius of America. David Medd joined in 1996 to play keyboards alongside Cambra. In 2001, the band released a live CD, The Tubes World Tour 2001, and continued to tour.
On April 22, 2005, a reunion show took place at the Rio Theater in Santa Cruz, CA, with Waybill, Steen, Anderson, Spooner, Welnick and Cotten. 2005 also saw the release of their live album Wild in London.
In July 2015, the Tubes started a European and U.S. tour, including dates in Germany, Sweden, the UK and the United States and featured 5 band members (Fee Waybill, Roger Steen, Prairie Prince, Rick Anderson & David Medd).
The Tubes Project and other milestones[edit]
Michael Cotten started "The Tubes Project" in 2005, to save and digitize the band's reel to reel and video tape archive. The collection had been kept in the closet of Tubes fan club president Marylin Wood's son after being discarded in the late 1980s. Included in the vault are full color shows taped for TV at Bimbos in San Francisco, 1975 and VARA TV from the 1977 European tour. Over 70 interviews were conducted with band members, crew, managers, cast and colleagues such as Re Styles, Todd Rundgren, Al Kooper, Devo and David Foster. Hundreds of photos were scanned and compiled from band members and fan collections for use in the hour and half documentary.
After leaving the band, Jane Dornacker formed the band Leila and the Snakes and later worked as a traffic reporter. She was killed in a helicopter crash in 1986, whilst giving a live report.
In April 2005, the band reunited for a concert at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz, California. It would be the last performance of The Tubes to include Vince Welnick, and the last time the full line up appeared in public.
Pianist Vince Welnick, who suffered from depression, committed suicide on June 2, 2006.
Gary Cambra left the band in 2006 leaving David Medd as their sole keyboardist.
On September 23, 2007, the remaining members of the Tubes reunited in Phoenix for their induction into the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame.
On November 10, 2009, "Mondo Birthmark" a CD of previously unreleased rarities was released through the label Fuel 2000. The package was designed by Michael Cotten and Prairie Prince with rare photos and interviews of the group. The demos also feature former member Bob Macintosh on drums.
1972: Tubes appear in Mitchell brothers pornographic film Resurrection of Eve as Jesus Bongo and the Millionaires.
1973: Opened for the New York Dolls at the Matrix, Iggy Pop at Bimbos, and Led Zeppelin at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco.

1977: Held residency at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco for one month, the Whisky a Go Go nightclub in Los Angeles for two shows a night for one month, and Hammersmith Odeon in London for a week.
1978: Headlined the Knebworth Festival with Frank Zappa and Peter Gabriel. On April 3, The Tubes performed live with Dolly Parton on Cher… Special, in the "Musical Battle to Save Cher's Soul Medley". As the title would imply, the performance was a duel between the forces of good and evil to determine where Cher would spend her eternal destiny. Dolly Parton was dressed in white and, with a team of brightly clad singers, portrayed an angelic host while The Tubes, dressed in black leather and performing "Mondo Bondage", battled to send Cher's soul into eternal damnation. The band also performed the song "Smoke (La Vie en Fumér)", about a guy in a trenchcoat winning over a girl at a bar with his cigarette smoking technique, which employed giant, twelve-foot inflatable cigarettes. At the end of the number the dancers would bash singer Waybill with the giant cigarettes until he was crushed into the ground.[5]
1979: Tubes play Japan; Cotten/Welnick/Prince/Styles appear on Japanese soap opera. Tubes appear in Andy Warhol's Interview magazine.

1983: Opened several dates for David Bowie on the Serious Moonlight tour and on this tour, among other highlights, they were the first artists to ever play the newly opened Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington.

A New Jersey man accused of chatting online about his sexual fantasies of kidnapping, raping and eating children has been charged with luring a 15-year-old boy to Pennsylvania for sex, federal authorities said on Wednesday.
The U.S. Attorney's office in Newark said Robert Mucha, 56, met the boy through his mother, who lived in Sussex County, New Jersey, where Mucha now lives.
In October 2010, Mucha persuaded the boy to visit him by promising to take him to an amusement park, after which the boy would spend the night in his apartment. On the night of the visit, Mucha fondled the boy, who objected and left the apartment, the criminal complaint lodged against him said.
Mucha, of Newton, New Jersey, was charged with possessing child pornography in a separate case in July.
Matthew Reilly, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office, said Mucha had been charged with a further count of possessing child pornography on his home computer.
If convicted of enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity, Mucha faces a maximum sentence of life behind bars, Reilly said.
According to the charges, Mucha used a web-based chat service on multiple occasions to communicate with individuals who shared his sexual fascination with child cannibalism.
Many of their communications focused on how they might "abduct the children, drug them, roast them and, ultimately, consume them," the criminal complaint said.

Surfing… the ultimate water sport. Everyone wants to be a surfer, catching waves and looking good at the same time! Surfers are known for their skills in the water and their style. And it was surfers who realized that they needed some eye protection. All that time exposed to the sun, wind, and water can take its toll, leaving you with pterygium (surfer's eye), cataracts, and macular degeneration over the years. So we've got you covered, with a full line of stylish surfing sunglasses designed just for you.
Our wraparound sunglasses come with a removable strap, so you can take it off on land and keep it on in the water. With the head strap on, your sunglasses won't come off! Our surfing sunglasses also come with a removable foam lining on the frame. The lining is extra comfortable any time your sunnies press against your face, like when you're duck diving. The lenses of our sunglasses are hydrophobic, so they repel water. After paddling out to catch a wave, your sunglasses will dry right away and give you clear vision.
Also check out our combination goggle sunglasses. They offer the best of both worlds with ultimate comfort and a wide view. They're made with floatron, a flexible rubber that conforms to the shape of your face for a great fit. Their lenses also repel water, and they are vented to avoid fogging up. With a wide elastic head strap, there's no way these sunnies are coming off!
We know that as a surfer, you're not fazed by the elements, and will catch the waves any time they're good. So our surfing sunglasses come with interchangeable lenses, ideal for every light condition. They are quick and easy to exchange. Try grey sunglasses for bright sunlight, amber or yellow sunglasses for sunrise and sunset conditions, and clear sunglasses for dark days.

Obama: 'Time to Get Rid of Embarrassment and Stigma' of Mental Illness
President Barack Obama vowed on Monday at a conference at the White House to "get rid of the embarrassment and stigma" of mental health problems and help people who need help, tackling a serious problem in the country.
"We want to let people living with mental health challenges know that they are not alone, and we've got to be making sure that we're committed to support those fellow Americans, because struggling with a mental illness or caring for someone who does can be isolating," the president said.
"And I think everybody here who's experienced the issue in one way or another understands that. It begins to feel as if not only are you alone, but that you shouldn't burden others with the challenge and the darkness, day in, day out – what some call a cloud that you just can't seem to escape – begins to close in."
Following a string of gun shooting incidents in America last year, most notably the massacre of 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December, America has been searching for answers about how to prevent future tragedies. Politicians have argued over gun control and the effects of violent video games and violent media on culture, but one link that a number of the perpetrators in such incidents have had is the struggle with some form of mental health problem or another.
While never singling out one particular incident, Obama mentioned that America has the power to prevent such tragedies.
"We've got to get rid of that embarrassment; we've got to get rid of that stigma. Too many Americans who struggle with mental health illnesses are still suffering in silence rather than seeking help," he said.
The president stressed that "the overwhelming majority of people who suffer from mental illnesses are not violent," and that many violent people don't come with diagnosable mental health issues, but reminded attendees that in some cases, "when a condition goes untreated, it can lead to tragedy on a larger scale."
NBC News reported that Obama's speech was only the opening in a daylong conference focusing on combating the stigma of mentally ill people seeking help, and that Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki and Vice President Joe Biden would all speak during the event.
Obama argued that there are a number of things the U.S. as a nation can do to help the millions of people struggling with mental health problems. He said that as many as one in five adults suffer from some sort of mental illness.
"In many cases, treatment is available and effective. We can help people who suffer from a mental illness continue to be great colleagues, great friends, the people we love. We can take out some pain and give them a new sense of hope. But it requires all of us to act. And there are a few ways we can do our part," Obama said.
The president praised the work of a number of groups, such as the YMCA, who are training staff to recognize signs of mental problems in young people, as well as the leaders of faith communities who are getting their congregations involved in such efforts.
"For many people who suffer from a mental illness, recovery can be challenging. But what helps more than anything, what gives so many of our friends and loved ones strength, is the knowledge that you are not alone. You're not alone. You're surrounded by people who care about you and who will support you on the journey to get well. We're here for you," he added.

Director Newscast:
This award was given to KCCI Senior Director Amy Schmelzer for her direction of KCCI NewsChannel 8 at Ten, the #1-rated newscast in Central Iowa and one of the highest-rated newscasts in the country.

Im especially proud of the Emmy recognizing our continuing coverage of weather, particularly on that snowy December day when everyone at the station had to pull together and make a strong team effort to keep viewers informed and safe.

CBD is a non-psychoactive chemical that is found in the cannabis plant. New studies on CBD are generating all over the world and there is a lot of study going on in regards to the varied benefits of CBD Energy Shots. With so many new products on the market today, it can be challenging at best to determine which ones will work for which conditions. So it should come as no surprise that a guide like this may be needed to sort through the various types of products and decide which products may benefit you the most.
Most consumers who have an interest in cannabis have seen new and innovative CBD Energy Shot products cropping up all over the place.
CBD Energy Shots in North Andover
With e-liquids, tea, oils, and crystals, many are struggling to make sense out of the products. This guide will help you to determine which products will serve you best.
CBD Rich Oil
This is derived from the CBD and has no THC so it has no chance of causing psychoactive effects. The THC is the compound that is responsible for causing the psychoactive effects. The CBD eases pain and inflammation and more. CBD is extracted from the flowers of the cannabis plant. The extract is then mixed with hemp seed oil, olive oil, coconut oil or other oils. The CBD is mixed to aid in the digestive process, without mixing it wouldn't digest properly.
Keep in mind that hemp seed oil is vastly different than CBD oil. Hemp seed oil comes from the seeds of the hemp plant. CBD oil comes from the flowers of the cannabis plant. The best products will use cold pressed hemp seeds and they impart a delicious flavor to the products that they are included in. Hemp seeds have no THC or CBD in them whatsoever.
While CBD oil is widely and readily available both online and offline like CBD Energy Shots, it would be advisable to look for a certified and trusted supplier for the same. You do not want to use an inferior product in the name of CBD oil.
To use it, you can place a drop or two directly underneath the tongue. Your body will then absorb it directly into your system. You can also add a drop or two to your cooking, your smoothie, your tea or coffee, your baked goods, or put a drop on your salad. Wherever you put it, it will work its way into your body and help heal you from within. Hemp seed oil is available in many supermarkets. It offers up plenty of Omega 3s and Omega 6 oils and may also be used in lotions and soaps. It may also be used in lieu of petroleum and eco-friendly plant materials.
CBD Water and CBD Energy Shots, Whats Better?
These are derived from the plant and then further refined to isolate only the CBD compound. The product is then put through a winterization process and slowly heated up to remove any fats or lipids from the product. A rotary evaporator is then utilized to remove any remaining traces of the plant material. Finally, you have a decarboxylated product via a meticulous heating process that activates the cannabinoids and renders the chemicals to be bioavailable for the consumers who purchase the products.
More versatile than the oils, the CBD crystals are able to be added into cooking, drinks, swallowed whole as a pill, however, they can also be dabbed or made into an e-liquid to be smoked. Crystals can also be sprinkled over cigarettes or joints.
Pros And Cons Of Crystals
Crystals are very highly concentrated forms of CBD. In many cases, they are 99.8 percent pure. Producing a more instantaneous effect than other methods, they offer up a quick solution for pain or inflammation. However, since you're only isolating one of the many cannabinoids, you're losing a variety of terpenes from your final product.
CBD E-Liquids
E-liquids are designed specifically to be used in e-cigarettes or vaporizers. Starting with pure CBD crystals, they precisely measure out the dosage of CBD. They then combine this with vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol. The higher quality products such as Harmony will then add in terpenes and aromatic compounds from the cannabis plant in order to enhance the flavor of the final product.
These can then be used to replace nicotine in e-liquids in regular e-cigarettes or portable vaporizers. All you have to do is add in the e-liquid to the tank in the vaporizer and follow the instructions for inhaling the vapor. When prepared properly, you can use them in all of your e-cigs. Some e-cigs aren't able to be manually refilled, however, there are refills available for these that offer CBDs.
E-cigarettes are a trend today and they are discreet and convenient for travelers and those who wish to vape in areas where smoking in strictly prohibited. You can find these in various dosages and you can use them discreetly at your own discretion.
CBD Tea
Made up from the leaves and the buds of the CBD-rich hemp plan, you can use this to make tea. The extracts from the plan will bind to the fats during the heating of the product. If you wish to get the best effect you'll want to make sure that you add in some fats such as milk, cream or coconut oil. This will give you a sweeter and more subtle flavor as well as aid in the delivery of the product.
Always brew your tea in hot water and remember to add in the milk or cream or coconut oil. This will offer a weaker delivery of the product, but it will still give you many of the benefits of the products mentioned above.
CBD Energy Shots North Andover
Keep in mind that the delivery preference is all up to the individual user. Various methods work better for one condition over another. Everyone has their own personal preference and it's important to take this into consideration when buying your products and using them. If you are using it for pain, you may find that one preference works better than another one for your needs. Also, keep in mind that there are various strengths of the products and you can adjust the strength by the dosage or delivery method.

CBD has quickly moved up the ranks as the second most commonly studied cannabinoid after THC. Used in the oil form, it's long been touted as a solution for a variety of ailments. We've long considered CBD oil to be a solution to pain, inflammation and more. Made up of the blossoms, the stalks and the leaves of the hemp plant, it's a member of the marijuana family. It has micronutrients of THC and thus doesn't make one high. It's often used in health and wellness plans to improve the health of those who are struggling with inflammation and pain.
Unlike its relative hempseed oil, CBD oil doesn't contain the same vitamins and nutrients that are pressed from the hemp seeds. However, it's still highly-sought after and offers up a significant alternative in health and wellness. It's often referred to as hemp oil.
Unlike hempseed oil, it does not contain the very same vitamins as well as other nutrients as oil pressed from hemp seeds, however, is still a
What're The Health Benefits Of Cbd?
CBD is just one of the various cannabinoids that are located in marijuana and hemp. While not psychedelic, it's being used more and more to help in the treatment of a variety of medical conditions including cancer treatment and childhood epilepsy.
Less frequently examined in the scientific realm in comparison to its psychoactive relative, it has expanded into other clinical trials with promising results. These studies include the use of CBD oil as an anti-psychotic treatment.
Perhaps the most formal medical trials, up until now, for CBD have been done by GW Pharma which is a British pharmaceutical company that makes both CBD as well as THC medications from cannabis. Currently, the business is awaiting approval for its medications of CBD that are designed to deal with childhood epilepsy.
On a more practical level, CBD is believed to enhance sleep and improve the quality of sleep. It also helps to reduce anxiety and relieve tension and works well as an anti-inflammatory. For this reason, it's become far more prominent as a dietary supplement and is being utilized for this reason far more frequently.
CBD Oil From Marijuana
What Are The Results?
While not psychedelic, CBD doesn't make a person high. It functions within the endocannabinoid system of the body and enhances their function in a variety of ways working on the CBD receptors within a person body. While there are many advantages similar to the effects of THC, it doesn't give the same properties in making a person high.
CBD, unlike THC, also doesn't boost the CB1 nor the CB2 receptors either. It simply turns on receptors that for whatever reason, weren't on. This is especially true of vanilloid and adenosine and the serotonin receptors that could thus modulate the activities of the cannabinoid receptors. Vanilloid or TRPV receptors can moderate the sensation of discomfort as well as body temperature and inflammation. It can reduce pain and encourage the body to relax.
Adenosine receptors, on the other hand, maintain the blood flow and minimize the influence that the THC has on the body. Serotonin receptors help to regulate the neurotransmitters functioning as well as how they affect the state of mind or well-being. There are clearly many ways that the CBD is adjusting the body and new ways are always being discovered. Science is continuing to research the myriad of benefits of CBD.
What Are The Uses Of CBD Oil?
Just as in THC, CBD has long been shown to offer anti-inflammatory as well as anti-epileptic benefits. It's used for this in many conditions including chronic pain and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It's also used to counteract the psychedelic effect of the THC.
Thus, it's well worth keeping in mind that studies are ongoing regarding how it helps with a myriad of health conditions. Many countries don't consider CBD to be medication. Some, consider it to be more of a dietary supplement and believe that it can help to reduce anxiety as well as improve overall well-being.
Ways To Ingest CBD Oil
Is CBD Oil Safe?
The short answer is yes. Any harmful products of CBD are from the manufacturer of the products, not the products themselves. The introduction of pesticides and other ingredients in the vapor oils and other palatable items would be harmful to the body. Thus, always ensure the source of your CBD Oil and ensure that it's been properly grown and prepared without any pesticide intervention.
Are There Any Harmful Side Effects of CBD?
The broad answer to this question is no. There aren't any cannabinoids which have had any adverse reactions or effects. Prior to starting any supplement or CBD oil regimen, it's wise to ensure that you're medically healthy by having a physician check you over and give you the go ahead. It will slow down your saliva production and give you a dry mouth as well as change how the other medications in your body act within your body and are metabolised.
Additionally, there is much to be learned to form the preliminary research that suggests that CBD, when absorbed in higher amounts, can work well for many conditions including Parkinson's Disease and other conditions that involve trembling. Ideally, you'll have a clearer understanding of how CBD oils work within your body after you've read this document. Research into CBD oil is ongoing and more is being learned every day.

Padre::Autosave - autosave and recovery mechanizm for Padre
=head1 The autosave plan
I'd like to provide autosave with some history and recovery service.
This plan is not Padre specific.
An sqlite database will be used for this but theoretically
any database could be used. Event simple filesystem.
Basically we provide a versioned filesystem here with
autocleanup and metadata.
Besides the content of the file we need to save some meta data:
- path to the file will be the unique identifyer
- timestamp
- type of save (initial, autosave, usersave, external)
When opening a file for the first time it is saved in the database.(initial)
Every N seconds files that are not yet saved are autosaved in the
database. (autosave)
Evey time a file is saved it is also saved to the database. (usersave)
Before reloading a file we autosave it. (autosave)
Every time we notice that a file was changed on the disk if the user decides
to overwrite it we also save the (external) changed file.
Before autosaving a file we make sure it has not changed since the
last autosave.
In order to make sure the database does not get too big we setup
a cleaning mechanizm that is executed once in a while.
There might be several options but for now:
1) Every entry older than N days will be deleted.
Based on the database we'll be able to provide the user recovery in
case of crash or accidental overwrite.
What do you think?
comment:4 Changed 9 years ago by Sewi
A sqlite database might not be a good choice because it could become corrupt on Padre crash.
comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by Sewi
Addition: VCS plugins should be able to clear the history of a file if it has been successfully committed, maybe as a config option.

List of open files is retained as session "padre_last".

No indictment for Rice officers in video beating
Two Rice University police officers caught on camera hitting a man with batons during an August arrest will not face criminal charges.
A Harris County grand jury on Wednesday declined to indict the officers, who can be seen in campus surveillance footage beating a man after he tried to steal a bicycle from the campus.
After the incident came to light in December, Rice officials defended the officers and said the force was justified.
Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said the grand jury's decision should not be taken as an "endorsement or approval of the officers' actions."
"Although some of the tactics shown on the video are very disturbing, the ultimate question for the grand jury was whether the officers' conduct rose to the level of a crime," Anderson said in a statement. "They concluded that it did not."
The Rice police department was widely criticized in December after parts of the video were released showing the officers hitting 37-year-old Ivan Waller, who was accused of stealing a "bait bike" that officers put out as part of a sting.
The university released an account of the arrest in which officials said repeated attempts to gain control of Waller with verbal commands and physical controls were unsuccessful before officers used batons to strike his legs. The force was used to subdue the man without causing serious bodily harm, a Rice statement said.
The university on Wednesday released the video and a statement applauding the grand jurors' decision.
"This outcome is consistent with RUPD's internal investigation that concluded the use of force was justified to enable the officers to handcuff a suspect who resisted arrest," according to the statement.
Beating on tape
In the video, two officers can be seen repeatedly winding up and swinging their batons overhead to hit Waller, who appears to be laying on a grassy median on Holcombe. He can be heard repeatedly shouting, "Why are you beating me?"
After seeing portions of the video in December, state Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, called it a beating and urged the private university to fire the officers.
Rice Police Chief Johnny Whitehead defended the officers' actions, but said the incident has prompted more training and more equipment options.
Officers had only batons as "less than lethal" options when the incident occurred, he said. They now carry pepper spray and been have trained to use it. Other agencies also use stun guns and beanbag rounds as nonlethal choices.
The chief also said the department had only one trainer and now there are three.
"You learn these techniques in the academy, but they're perishable," he said. "With more trainers, we can train more frequently."
The officers have remained on the force, according to Rice spokesman B.J. Almond. Because an internal review concluded the use of force was justified, the officers kept their jobs during the district attorney's investigation.
Waller, who was convicted of theft in the case, filed a complaint after being contacted by Quanell X, a community activist who said he learned of the video from a Rice University police officer who was disturbed by its content.
On Wednesday, Quanell X called the grand jury's decision politically motivated.
"Devon Anderson never had sincere intentions of prosecuting these officers for violating this young man's civil rights," Quanell X said. "She was more interested in getting the support of police officers in a tough election year."
DA's statement
In her statement, Anderson said her office interviewed more than 15 people from inside and outside the Rice University Police Department, including "use of force" trainers.
She said the 12 grand jurors empaneled by state District Judge Maria Jackson represent a cross section of the community.
"They concluded, after several sessions, that there was not enough probable cause to believe the officers committed a criminal offense," Anderson said. "It has been a long-standing policy of this office to vigorously investigate allegations of criminal wrongdoing by police officers and to present all of the evidence we gather to a grand jury for their independent and objective review."
Grand jury proceedings are secret under Texas law.

The Jets got the game they'd been waiting for on Sunday night.
They rode a three-game winning streak into a home game for first place in the AFC East against a reeling Patriots team coming off of two losses with a defense that hasn't been able to stop anyone. It was exactly the moment the Jets have dreamed about, a chance to drive a stake into the heart of their hated rivals and take control of their own destiny.
And they blew it. The Patriots won 37-16 in a game marked by unacceptable levels of sloppiness from the Jets on both sides of the ball.
U.S. & World
It started on the first drive of the game, when Nick Folk missed a short field goal after a strong opening drive and foreshadowed the night to come. There would be much more ugliness to come, much of it stemming from the fact that the Jets seemed to be confused by just about everything all night long.
Both the offense and the defense lined up incorrectly over and over again, coverages and blocking assignments were blown with shocking regularity and mistakes piled up like napkins at a pie-eating contest. There were an ill-timed timeout by Mark Sanchez late in the second quarter that gave the Pats time to score a go-ahead touchdown, a muffed punt by Joe McKnight and an unconscionable drop by Shonn Greene that turned into a Patriots interception.
Those last two plays turned into 10 Patriots points and allowed them to take a two-touchdown lead in the third quarter. Then, after Sanchez led the team back within a touchdown, the Jets defense couldn't stop the Patriots offense after they went to the no-huddle and the lead jumped back up to 14.
The death knell came on the next offensive possession, when Patriots linebackers Tracy White and Rob Ninkovich, two of the faceless many who thwarted the Jets offense, combined to force another interception that Ninkovich returned for a humiliating touchdown. It was all academic at that point.
If this had the potential to be the biggest regular season win of Rex Ryan's career, it has to go down as one of the worst losses of his tenure. His team looked unprepared for everything the Patriots threw its way, and the offense made a bad Patriots defense look like they were the 1985 Bears.
The defense, which hung tough through much of the game, completely broke down in the second half. Tom Brady was rarely pressured, Rob Gronkowski was barely covered and they wound up looking like the second best defense on the field by more than a couple of miles.
All in all, it was worse than last year's 45-3 thrashing in Foxborough. That's a lot of words to explain what went down on Sunday night, but this picture could easily take the place of every single one of them.
The Jets won't have much time to figure out what went wrong in this one. They have to be in Denver on Thursday night, which might not actually be a bad thing if it means they put this game behind them in a hurry.
From there, the schedule isn't overly difficult, and a playoff spot is certainly within reach. But this Jets team probably isn't winning the division, and their margin for error is darn near zero after punting the golden opportunity that landed in their lap this week.
Chances like this don't come around very often. The fact that the Jets greeted this one with so little in the gas tank says something awfully troubling about where this team is going this year.

June has been quite an exciting month on the weather front. Londoners have experienced rain, sunshine, wind, rain, stronger wind, two hot days and then more rain. It is all very confused.
1. The wind though has been spectacular. I haven't actually seen a small child being blown away but I'm sure there were near-misses. Besides playing havoc with perfectly coiffed hair and Marilyn Monroe-esque skirt moments, the windy conditions we've been experiencing can have a larger impact on our wellness than you think. Fellow acupuncturist, The Acupunc, takes a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) look at the invasion of wind and offers a soothing tea recipe.
2. The furore of New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to ban gigantic buckets of fizzy drink continues with cries of nanny-state and loss of liberty. In case you missed it, here's my blog post about the soda ban.
3. Do you drink tea? You should, it's a good way to keep hydrated if water is a bit too plain for you. Everyone touts the benefits of green tea, but I would also recommend seeking out pu-erh tea. The flavour is much stronger but still clean and refreshing. Read more to see why tea is good for you.
4. Lack of sleep can leave you tired and cranky which doesn't do well for concentration but new research shows that lack of sleep can also lead to unhealthy food choices.
5. And now for the catch-22: more studies show that obesity and depression are the root causes of daytime sleepiness. The common denominator seems to be that weight is definitely a factor with sleep issues, but is being overweight causing sleep disorders or does sleepiness and fatigue result in weight gain?

NCAA Tournament Game Analysis: Second Round – Friday AfternoonPosted by EJacoby on March 16th, 2012
RTC Region correspondents Brian Otskey (East), Kevin Doyle (South), Evan Jacoby (Midwest) and Andrew Murawa (West) contributed to this preview.
#6 Cincinnati vs. #11 Texas – East Region Second Round (at Nashville, TN) – 12:15 PM ET on CBS
These are two teams with similar statistical profiles but the Texas Longhorns are missing Alexis Wangmene, a big senior forward who would have added an extra body for Rick Barnes to go up against Cincinnati's Yancy Gates in the paint. With a guard-oriented team and a thin front court, the Longhorns have some difficulty against the physical Bearcats. Cincinnati doesn't have a deep front line either but Gates is the team's third leading scorer and a key cog in its offensive flow. Neither team shoots the ball particularly well but Cincinnati has an edge on the perimeter with multiple players who can make a three. Texas ranks sub-200 in defending the triple and that's something that could cost it the game. Cincinnati is a streaky hit-or-miss team with four capable guards surrounding Gates on the floor. As for Texas, leading scorer J'Covan Brown is pretty much the team's only major threat. If Cincinnati can lock up Brown defensively, it will win the game rather easily. If Brown manages to get free and score close to his average of 20.1 PPG, the Bearcats will be in for a nail biter. Although Brown is the best player on the floor in this game, the edge has to go to Cincinnati because of its more balanced talent on the perimeter (including limiting turnovers), Gates in the post and the team's overall experience. The majority of Cincinnati's rotation is made up of juniors and seniors while four of Texas' top six scorers are freshmen.
The RTC Certified Pick: Cincinnati.
#6 San Diego State vs. #11 N.C. State – Midwest Region Second Round (at Columbus, OH) – 12:40 PM ET on truTV
A very popular upset pick, North Carolina State comes into this game on a roll having won four of its last five games with the only loss in the ACC Tournament semifinals to North Carolina by one possession. But NC State was on the bubble just one week ago; this team has been inconsistent throughout the season. The Wolfpack lost four games in a row prior to that strong finish to the season. The key to pull this upset will be to keep pressure on a strong SDSU defense, keyed by pounding the ball inside to find points in the paint with C.J. Leslie, Richard Howell, and C.J. Williams. It's doubtful that San Diego State will give Scott Wood any wide open looks from three. The Aztecs, meanwhile, may have the two best overall players in this game with Mountain West Player of the Year Jamaal Franklin (17.2 PPG, 7.9 RPG) and savvy guard Chase Tapley (15.7 PPG, 43.3% three-pointers). Both players shoulder a lot of the scoring load but have been reliable in big games this season against strong MW competition. SDSU is a much stronger defensive team (93.5 defensive efficiency) and holds opponents to 40% shooting from the field. NC State has a 99.9 'D' efficiency and allows too much easy offense. We'll take the Aztecs, the stronger team all season long that has Sweet Sixteen experience from last season.
The RTC Certified Pick: San Diego State
#8 Creighton vs. #9 Alabama – Midwest Region Second Round (at Greensboro, NC) – 1:40 PM ET on TBS

Robert Menendez on Gun Control
Democratic Sr Senator; previously Representative (NJ-13)
MENENDEZ: Yes. Violence on our streets is devastating too many New Jersey families. I introduced legislation to combat gangs, which includes increased penalties for gun crimes.
KEAN: We must uphold our current firearm laws and expand prosecution of those who commit crimes with a firearm, like the 10-20-30 legislation I currently sponsored.
On page 37, between lines 8 and 9, insert the following: "Allowing Amtrak Passengers to Securely Transport Firearms on Passenger Trains.--None of amounts made available in the reserve fund authorized under this section may be used to provide financial assistance for the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) unless Amtrak passengers are allowed to securely transport firearms in their checked baggage.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. ROGER WICKER (R, MS). This amendment aims to ensure that gun owners and sportsmen are able to transport securely firearms aboard Amtrak trains in checked baggage, a practice that is done thousands of times a day at airports across the country. I emphasize that this amendment deals with checked, secured baggage only. It would return Amtrak to a pre-9/11 practice. It does not deal with carry-on baggage. Unlike the airline industry, Amtrak does not allow the transport of firearms in checked bags. This means that sportsmen who wish to use Amtrak trains for hunting trips cannot do so because they are not allowed to check safely a firearm.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Sen. FRANK LAUTENBERG (D, NJ): I object to this disruptive amendment offered by the Senator from Mississippi. He wants to enable the carrying of weapons, guns, in checked baggage. One doesn't have to be very much concerned about what we are doing when they look at the history of attacks on railroads in Spain and the UK and such places. This amendment has no place here interrupting the budgetary procedure. The pending amendment is not germane and, therefore, I raise a point of order that the amendment violates section 305(b)(2) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. VITTER: This is a straight funding limitation amendment. Many folks who haven't followed the proceedings on this in the U.N. may ask: What is this all about? Unfortunately, it is about an effort in the United Nations to bring gun control to various countries through that international organization. Unfortunately, that has been an ongoing effort which poses a real threat, back to 1995. In 2001, the UN General Assembly adopted a program of action designed to infringe on second amendment rights. The Vitter amendment simply says we are not going to support any international organization that requires a registration of US citizens' guns or taxes US citizens' guns. If other folks in this Chamber think that is not happening, that it is never going to happen, my reply is simple and straightforward: Great, then this language has no effect. It is no harm to pass it as a failsafe. It has no impact. But, in fact, related efforts have been going on in the U.N. since at least 1995. I hope this can get very wide, bipartisan support, and I urge all my colleagues to support this very fundamental, straightforward amendment.
No opponents spoke against the bill.
While widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has, since its inception, been the premier firearms education organization in the world. But our successes would not be possible without the tireless efforts and countless hours of service our nearly three million members have given to champion Second Amendment rights and support NRA programs.
The following ratings are based on lifetime voting records on gun issues and the results of a questionaire sent to all Congressional candidates; the NRA assigned a letter grade (with A+ being the highest and F being the lowest).

Great Falls manager Chris Cron on 2010 5th round draft pick and Great Falls 1B Andy Wilkins:
BASEBALL OFFICIALS and the writers who quiz them are always making comparisons. So Cron was asked about Wilkins, who has a powerful left-handed stroke at the dish. Turns out he's got a fellow in mind.
"I want to say a certain guy, because back in the day when this kid came up he was a third baseman, just like Andy," Cron said. "He was a first baseman, and then he became a DH. He's still playing and he's having a Hall-of-Fame career."
Any idea who the skipper is referring to?
"Back in the day," said Cron, " Jim Thome looked very similar to Andy Wilkins."

Garden Parasols & BasesContemporary Garden Parasols | Modern Patio Umbrella | Outdoor Shelter
Garden Parasols & Bases
When it comes to lying under the sun, there's no middle way: either you hate it or you love it. There are some people who would spend the whole day lying under the sun, perfectly still, while reading a book or listening to music, and others who just loathe it with all their might. Well, if you have a garden and you feel like you should exploit it but hate the sun, we have of course a solution for you. Italians are used to it, because during the summer the sun heat can become unbearable and we need parasols and gazebos to keep cool. They are all designed by Scab Design, which is very well-known in Italy for being amazing in creating products both for indoor and outdoor.
In fact, if you are looking for more products to furnish and decorate your garden, we really recommend to check out the other sections, where you can find sun loungers, chairs, accessories, rugs, swing seats, tables and many other items for your garden, all made by Scab, and all made out of eco-friendly, high-quality, easy-to-clean, beautiful materials. Anyway, concerning the parasols, we have a selection that may interests you. The first product we want to show you is the amazingly elegant Parasols by Scab, which is fully waterproof and 100% designed and made in Italy.
It is reliable and durable, 100% rust free, and has a tilt system, consisting in a 18 mm pole with manual crank. It's 2.2 meter, and it is made out of aluminium and polyester. We really like the colour, which is very elegant and goes perfect with the plants and trees of the garden. Also the umbrella is green. However, if you don't like this colour, you can also find it in sand with a black pole or grey with an ash pole. It can be left outside in all weathers. The second Parasol we want to present is 3 metres, and as the former is 100% rust free, with a 48 mm pole with manual crank and a tilt system. It can be left outside always, because it is waterproof and therefore doesn't get ruined. The parasol comes with a silver crank handle to adjust the umbrella, in order to suit your needs. It comes also with a solid steel crossed base. Therefore, the umbrella is available in three colours. The last Parasol shares the same characteristics as its twins, but is 2.7 metres. It is available in different colours, so we really do recommend you to have a look at the catalogue and figure out what is the best one for your garden.
We are sure that you can't wait to invite all your friends to grab a drink at your place and show off your beautiful parasol... it will be an amazing asset for your garden. If you have any problem, any request or query about the parasol and how to install them, of course you can contact us and we'll do our best to help you.

The Nikon Coolpix S2500 is a 12.1-megapixel budget compact with a slender 20mm body. Is the S2500 the perfect partner for great images?
The Nikon S2500 is part of the new spring range of Coolpix compacts, bringing the range up to date. The onus is on style as the S2500's body is a slim 20mm in width, making it easy to slip into a pocket and carry with you wherever you go.
The 12.1-megapixel sensor can capture still images or VGA movie (no HD to be found here) and the 4x optical zoom lens is a 27-108mm equivalent zoom. In addition to the "Standard" shooting mode there're also other in-camera Colour Options to automatically process with a Vivid, Black & White, Sepia or Cyanotype style.
As the Nikon S2500 can be found for just under the £100 mark, it's a bargainous point-and-shoot option - but, given the price, don't expect too many special features to be found here. On the rear there's a 2.7-inch LCD screen, but the viewing angle is relatively poor - if you're not facing it straight-on then the contrast is inaccurate. There are also no manual controls as such, although it is possible to adjust the ISO range from 80-3200 (at full resolution).
The Coolpix S2500 is simply laid-out. The rear controls include the main menu and scene mode selector buttons and the d-pad offers macro, flash, exposure compensation and self-timer controls. The macro mode itself isn't wildly impressive, with even the widest-angle 27mm setting not focusing particularly close to even contrasty subjects.
There's also a small built-in flash that's well placed to avoid any stray fingers and it comes into particular handy for snapping friends in dark, nighttime, conditions.
When switched off the lens is stowed in the camera body to maintain its small size. When it comes to charging the S2500 there is a mains-to-USB type cable that charges up the battery inside the camera itself, without the need to remove the battery and place in a charger.
The Nikon S2500 is a point-and-shoot performer but doesn't offer much more than that. There are some options to adjust to Face Detection or Subject Tracking autofocus, though the overall autofocus system certainly has its limitations – it's not especially fast and will often hunt for a subject to focus upon, plus anything remotely close-up or small subject areas are frequently bypassed or overlooked. However a manually assignable AF point can be moved around the central portion of the screen for slightly more control, albeit with the same AF performance.
The S2500's 27mm wide-angle lens means you can fit a fair amount into the scene, though there are wider-angle 24mm lenses available from some competitor compacts. With a 4x zoom the longest focal length is a 108mm equivalent that offers a reasonable distance, though you won't be able to "close in" on anything particularly far away.
As you'd expect from a budget compact, images aren't the best quality out there - but then they're perfectly suitable for the point-and-shoot snaps the S2500 is designed for. ISO 80-200 produce reasonable results, but the higher ISO settings incrementally introduce image noise, loss of colour and detail - particularly the ISO 1600-3200 options. Saying that, there's just about enough detail through most of the range's sensitivity and, with the flash deployed, there won't be much of a reason to venture up the ISO ranks anyway. Processing can be a little crude, with edges lacking the "bite" they ought to have, plus there's some purple fringing. For online sharing and non-critical work that's not at full size, however, these points should generally be without much cause for concern.
The Nikon Coolpix S2500 succeeds in delivering a budget point-and-shoot solution. It's a fairly basic camera, but then for under a hundred quid you're essentially getting exactly what you pay for. If critical image detail isn't a major concern and you don't need manual controls then the S2500 delivers an effective solution. There's no HD video, the AF's a tad unreliable, macro doesn't work especially close up, the 2.7-inch LCD isn't of particularly good quality and there aren't an abundance of complex modes or new technologies. But if you're looking for a sub-£100 camera then the S2500 pretty much does exactly what it sets out to do.

pip supports only certain types of wheels. You can find this out by going into python and running:-
import pip
This will list the supported types. Look in the wheel name and see if the type is supported, eg. cp27. You should be able to rename the wheel to force pip to use the wheel.
An alternate issue may be to find out if the python is of the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit):-
import struct
struct.calcsize("P") * 8
pip wheel not supported

These practice contractions are called Braxton-Hicks contractions and they are perfectly normal.However, about 10 per cent of pregnant women experience premature labour contractions. Unlike Braxton-Hicks, premature labour contractions are the real thing. They indicate that your labour is starting before your baby is ready to be born.How can you tell whether you're experiencing Braxton-Hicks or premature labour contractions? The differences are mostly in the frequency, intensity and duration. Here's what to look for:Braxton-Hicks ContractionsYou'll start to notice Braxton-Hicks contractions in your third trimester. They may feel like a generalised tightening of your uterus, almost as though it were balling up; or they may feel like the baby is doing a somersault. The contractions usually aren't painful and almost always stop after an hour or so. Although all women have Braxton-Hicks, not all women feel them, particularly with their first baby. So don't be alarmed if you never experience them.Premature Labour SymptomsPremature labour contractions can occur at any time between the 20th and 37th week of pregnancy. They do not stop, and they may become more frequent, regular and uncomfortable over time.Premature labour signs to look for: Menstrual-like cramps above the pubic bone Pressure or an achy feeling in the pelvis, thighs or groin Dull, low backache or back pressure Intestinal cramping or diarrhoea Increased vaginal discharge Watery fluid, pinkish or brownish discharge, or blood coming from the vaginaIf you experience any of these symptoms or more than four contractions in an hour, call your healthcare provider immediately. You may be asked to come in to be checked, or your provider may want you to time your contractions. You can feel the contractions (your uterus tightening and relaxing) by placing your fingertips lightly on your abdomen.Stopping Premature LabourIf you begin premature labour, your healthcare provider will suggest ways to stop it, such as bed rest and drinking lots of fluids.If the contractions continue, you may be admitted to hospital so your provider can monitor you more closely.Preventing Premature LabourYou can also take precautions that may help prevent premature labour from starting in the first place. Drink 250 ml of juice or water every couple of hours to prevent dehydration, which could make your uterus more 'irritable'. Eat a healthy diet and gain between 11 to 16 kg (25 to 35 pounds) during your pregnancy Always wipe from front to back after urinating or having a bowel movement, to prevent a UTI. Sit down with your legs elevated every hour or so, and don't lift heavy objects. Stop physical activity and rest if you experience contractions that don't stop within a short time. Try to decrease the stress in your life.The possibility of premature labour is scary, but most women only experience Braxton-Hicks contractions.Take good care of yourself and be sure to contact your healthcare provider should anything unusual develop.

From "PROMISE: A Memoir"
© 2011 by Mark Manley
A smokin' Joe Farrell song was interrupted for the
radio announcement. John Lennon was gunned down on December
8th. Who would could shoot John? Why?
I thought I might have heard Charlie Manson's voice
crooning softly, "See, I told you, 'No sense really does
make sense…'"
Everyone has heard. It disturbs me greatly. John Lennon
is dead. Loss. The murder of Romance. The assassination of
tea and bread and marmalade, of pure, clear maple syrup on
pancakes, of bicycle riding in the early morning hours of
summer. Youth shot down. Riddled T-shirts. Torn, stained
headbands. Loving who you want to, and laughing at the world.
Feelings warm on a cool and cloudy night over sausage pizza and
DAD'S root beer in Chicago and all of it gone, obscene, memories
bloody. No one is safe. Nothing to do about it. It is finding
out you lost your virginity to a whore. Tarnished ideals. A
fucking shame. I mourn.
Lennon's death points out our own mortality— our own
susceptibility to a violent end. There are a lot of people
crying out about the availability of handguns, and the need for
gun control, but that is not it. John Lennon was murdered,
purposely killed by another human being. In the end it doesn't
make any difference that he was shot as opposed to having been
stabbed with a knife, or strangled to death with a scarf, or
poisoned… The problem is not the prevalence of weapons in our
society (which will always be with us, in the form of our hands
and feet, if in no other form…), but rather the prevalence of
malevolent will. How do you control that? You can't legislate
it away, or vote it down. You can't even shoot or napalm it out
of existence. It has been with us since the beginning of our
time. It is a part of ourselves that we have come to accept.
Our political leaders are surrounded by Secret Service
agents and wear bullet-proof vests and hats, and deliver
speeches from behind bullet-proof screens, and are generally
inaccessible to the public. We accept this as normal. But now
that someone representative of the dream of a better world has
been taken away, we react. This was no corrupt politician, no
mercenary hypocrite… This was John Lennon. He was ours. He
was US. And it is not supposed to happen this way. The
protagonist is not supposed to get blown away! WE are not
supposed to get blown away, and certainly not in the middle of
our own story!
And so we seethe…
And still, John is dead.
And so we mourn.
It is a time for sadness, for tears. We have a right to
mourn. But when tomorrow comes will anything really change? Or
will we continue to walk in fear of ourselves?
It is ironic that I was once disappointed that I had
missed out on the 1960's, which had always seemed like such an
exciting time to be a functioning adult… Now it seems I will
have my chance after all, living in these turbulent times…
Perhaps one day I, too, may find myself an unwilling part of
gasping headlines like WOMAN RUNS DOWN 25 ON SIDEWALK IN LAS
VEGAS, or LENNON SHOT DEAD. Religion, anybody?
