I wasn't worried to begin with, he had an extreme reaction to his first big growth spurt. He slept for 20 hours a day for 2 weeks and then bounced back. We checked with the doc and she said it does happen even with normal kids and not to be too worried about it.
So life went on for a couple of months and then wham another growth spurt, another 2 weeks off school. (thankfully CM is doing really well at school, so missing a few weeks wasn't such a concern, the weeks he missed he quickly caught up on).
There seems to be no sign of him getting better, he is sleeping heavily again and I'm not sure if that could be the painkillers or another growth spurt.
My partner asked me if I thought he was trying to pull a quick one. It was a fair question, we've only been together a couple of years so he really doesn't know CM well. But, I have to confess I had thought the same question and feel a little guilty. If he was doing badly at school or having issues with his peers, then it would be a question I would look at more carefully. There was one time where I thought he was trying to pull a quick one, so I forced him to go to school. He burst into tears as we were driving there and I knew he wasn't faking the pain he was in.
Physically he has gone from an averagely plump boy to a tall rake thin teenager. He looks almost anorexic but I know he is eating, but he just isn't putting on any weight.
I wish there was some way I could wave a magic wand and make all the pain and exhaustion go away.
I am going to the doctors again with CM, this time I think I should push for him to see a specialist of some sort.
I don't know if this has anything to do with the HMS, hence why I am writing to you all here, to see if anyone else has had the same experience with their teenagers.
I am finding it hard seeing my son suffer like this, and I feel so helpless.

Officially, Apollo 17, launched December 17, 1972, was the last manned mission to the moon. But in December of 1974, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we've never gone back to the moon.

If you're like me, the commitments of Lent are becoming a bit more difficult. To keep your eyes on the prize, here are the Top Ten Bible verses on Penance. In Greek, we often find in Scripture the Greek term "metanoia" which is a deep "transformation of mind" of conformity to God. In Latin, we find "agite paenitentiam" or "do penance." Protestant commentators beginning with Martin Luther criticized this translation because they felt that it emphasized outward acts and not an inward transformation. The Church responded by arguing that "agite paenitentiam" or "do penance" is a perfectly sound interpretation because inward repentance always leads to an outward expression. Moreover, in secular texts "agere paenitentiam" often refers to simple inward remorse. Nevertheless, just as faith without works is dead, so also repentance without penance is dead.
So here are the "top ten" penance passages in Sacred Scripture. I'm leading off with Luke 13:3 because, for me, that is the most powerful passage regarding penance.
Luke 13:3
No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
{This is a solemn promise of Christ to all of us. Unless we do penance, we will "perish."}
Job 42:6
Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.
Ecclesiasticus 2:22
If we do not penance, we shall fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men.
{If we don't experience discipline in this life, we shall experience it in the next.}
Jeremiah 31:19
For after thou didst convert me, I did penance: and after thou didst shew unto me, I struck my thigh: I am confounded and ashamed, because I have borne the reproach of my youth.
{Notice here, that penance comes after conversion.}
Lamentations 2:14
Thy prophets have seen false and foolish things for thee: and they have not laid open thy iniquity, to excite thee to penance: but they have seen for thee false revelations and banishments.
{Here the spiritual leaders of Israel have wrongly induced the people to follow after false revelations or apparitions. Instead, they should have led the people to penance. Incidentally, Saint Francis is the perfect example of the right leader. He doesn't appeal to apparitions or even to his stigmata. He appeals to the power of prayer, fasting, and penance.}
Ezekiel 18:21
But if the wicked do penance for all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my commandments, and do judgment, and justice, living he shall live, and shall not die.
{This is the great promise for Lent. If we humble ourselves and live sacrificially, we will have life. God is merciful and loving and He desires our transformation into the image of Christ His Son.}
Matthew 3:8
Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of penance.
{Here we find that true repentance requires fruit - it requires outward acts that conform to the inward reality.}
Matthew 11:20
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance.
{This is a sobering verse. Christ doesn't work miracles where the people don't repent. Divine power is restricted by human pride.}
Romans 2:4
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and patience, and longsuffering? Knowest thou not, that the benignity of God leadeth thee to penance?
{The love, mercy, and benignity of God brings us to a true repentance. Notice that being mean and hateful does not bring others to penance.}
Apocalypse 2:5
Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and do penance, and do the first works. Or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou do penance.
{Here "do penance" and "do the first works" are paired together. Penance has an outward dimension, because sin also has an outward dimension. The horrifying truth is that Christ will snuff out the Church of any region if they don't live a life of penitence.}

Formerly known as Project Natal, Kinect has been a bit of a mystery to us here at Game. But Microsoft put a stop to that today by allowing us to get hands-on (so to speak).
The basics of Kinect are that it will let you play and navigate with out the need of a controller. Instead of slouching in a cheer you'll need to get up and active in order to play.
We got to go head on with Kinect Joyride, Kinect Adventures and Kinect Sports. These were our impressions...
My Kinect playfest began with Joyride, a fun little driving game using your Xbox Avatar as the driver. To steer your car you hold your hands in the 10-2 position and steer like you would in a car (a bit like Mario Kart Wii, without the wheel!). You won't need to worry about accelerating as this is automatic, but you can boost by simply thrusting your hands forward and to send your car shooting into the screen.
Drifting is also in Joyride, and just like steering it's easy. Just lean into the turn with your body whilst steering with your hands and your car will start to slide around the corner. There are also jumps to hit and whilst in the air by you'll be able to pull of some pretty awesome tricks with simple hand gestures.
Next up was Kinect Adventures, which boasts several minigames that let youyou're your body to control the on-screen action.
First up was the river rapids game, which saw me and my colleague, Chris, stood side-by-side as we navigated a perilous rapid river in a little rubber dingy. It's crucial to point out at this point that if you are playing cooperatively on Kinect Adventures, communication is key.
To begin with we stepped independently and jumped at different times, which got us around some of the obstacles in our way but by the smallest of margins. It wasn't until we started yelling "LEFT" "RIGHT" and "JUMP" that we started to make good progress in missing obstacles and gaining greater height by jumping at the same time.
We then tried a game in Kinect Adventures where we needed to duck, jump and sidestep obstacles whilst riding on a cart on tracks, which was pretty fun. Next we tried a game where we hit red balls at blocks, which broke revealing targets beneath them.
My time with Kinect proved to me that it's much better than I thought it would be.
Kinect Joyride and the Bowling game in Kinect Sports were fun and the responsiveness was impressive. Navigating the menus by swishing your arms around is awesome as well, straight out of a sci-fi spaceship!
My only concern is that the games I tried weren't quite enough to carry the device by themselves - but I'm sure more titles will arrive once developers get to grips with this incredibly clever piece of kit.
All in all, I'm pleasantly surprised!
There's no doubting Kinect is cool. I loved being able to move my hands and navigate a menu, or runnin and jumping about to watch my little avatar do the same!(that's right your Xbox avatar is you in the game, so seeing my little gear of war running around would be wicked!)
Having one of your friends jump into the game just in time to push your raft round that rock in the rapids is a really nice feature, too; anyone who walks within the scope of the Kinect camera can jump in to the game and help you out!
Kinect is a serious bit of kit, and I truly believe that in a couple of years when developers have had some time, to go all out, we will see some incredible titles and have some awesome fun!
The 2009 Xbox E3 conference had me whooping and hollering at my PC monitor, with Microsoft's sci-fi Kinect video and demonstrations hinting at an entirely new way to play games. As you can imagine, I was more than excited to finally get a go with what's being touted as the future of Xbox gaming!
I started with the bowling game in Kinect Sports, which was even easier to play than the famous Wii Sports interation of Fred Flintstone's favourite pastime. With the camera swooped in behind my on-screen Avatar, I reached down to my right to make him pick up a ball, then held it in front of my head to aim, and, to my delight, got a strike on my first throw, with the Kinect camera managing to pick up the spin I naturally impart on a bowling ball in real life, and translate it to the screen in much the same way.
Next up was a swift go on the athletics mode of Kinect Sports, which had my same Avatar running a hurdles race. For me, that meant running on the spot - the faster I did so, the faster my Avatar sprinted - and hopping up in the air when the upcoming on-screen hurdle turned green as I closed in on it. Luckily no actual hurdling skills were required!
Obviously there's a big question mark about how Kinect will handle titles for 'core gamers', and the selection of games on show when Microsoft headed to GAME HQ was never going to answer that. What it did show us though was how responsive Kinect is to movement, which can only be a good thing; the crowds of people cheering and laughing as people jumped, bounced and yelped as Tom and Chris played on Kinect Adventures (and as I crashed through my fourth hurdle in a row... *sadface*) would attest to that.
Put that together with some of the videos Microsoft have already shown and you start to build up a picture of the kind of experiences Kinect will offer. Can you imagine playing a first-person adventure game where you can walk in the spot to move, grab in-game items with your arms to solve puzzles, thrust your arms to slice a sword, and talk to characters using your actual voice?
The possibilities are practically limitless.I am excited!
Kinect for Xbox launched in the UK on 10th November, 2010.
Microsoft invited us to experience the countdown to the launch of Kinect at the celebrity party on the evening of the 9th. Billed as 'the most anticipated and exciting launch in entertainment history' and hosted at London's Natural History Museum, the party featured presenter Kate Thornton with music from The Wanted and Leona Lewis, and skating for all those who were brave enough!
The party was followed by a midnight launch at GAME stores across the UK.
Find out what happened here.
Kinect is the brand new motion controller for the Xbox 360 console and the first in the entire history of home gaming to let you play without holding a single thing in your hands!
Sounds like that Project Natal thingy...
Yup! Kinect is the new name for Natal.So it's a controller... that's not a controller?
Actually, it's a camera but not just any camera.Kinect accurately tracks the movement of every key point of your body and recreates that movement exactly on the screen letting you control games by simply moving your body, browse the dashboard by swiping your hand (think minority report), and make menu selections without needing to press a single real-life button.
Sounds like Star Trek...
You think that's cool? Wait il you hear this... Kinect also has voice and facial recognition!The possibilities are huge. Imagine using Kinect to make video calls to other Kinected Xbox owners over Xbox Live; or talking to characters in-game using your actual voice; or speaking your movie selections; telling your console to switch on and off; and even being able to walk in front of the Kinect camera to have your profile automatically signed in!
Woah, cool. But won't I need a new Xbox console for all this?
Nope Kinect works with every Xbox 360 by plugging directly into one of the USB ports. If you've got an old-style larger 360 console, you'll need an AC plug socket for the power supply, while the New Xbox 360 250GB and 4GB will power the Kinect camera all from one specially-designed Kinect port. -
Some of the UK's leading political figures have received a crash course in the joys of videogames at a special event held in the House of Commons last week.
Gamers' Voice, a lobby group representing gaming fans across the country, was responsible for organising Parliamentary Games Day, which saw sixteen MPs meeting up with figures from the videogame industry to play some top titles.
During the event, Conservative minister John Whittingdale and Liberal Democrat Don Foster duked it out in a high-energy Kinect Sports boxing match, while other MPs such as Ed Vaizey, Luciana Berger and Keith Vaz got stuck into various Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii games.
The politicians were also able to have a chat with top British game designers such as Ian Livingstone and Jon Hare.
Ms Berger later tweeted that Parliamentary Games Day was "the best event I've been to in parliament so far in 2011".
Kinect Sports, developed by famous British studio Rare, has proven to be just as big a hit with UK gamers as it was with the MPs, as the title is the top-selling Kinect game released to date.Published: 17/01/2011
It's more good news for Assassin's Creed fans after yesterday's revelation of a May announcement of the next game in the popular franchise. BAFTA has released its list of nominations for this year's videogame awards, and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood has received the most nods of any game, featuring in a total of seven categories.
It seems the members of the BAFTA panel were big fans of Ezio's latest adventure, as it scooped nominations for Action, Artistic Achievement, Gameplay, Multiplayer, Technical Innovation, Use of Audio, and the biggie: Best Game.
In the latter category, Ubisoft's game faces some stiff competition from FIFA 11, Heavy Rain, LIMBO, Mass Effect 2 and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Call of Duty: Black Ops missed out in that category, but was nominated in six others. Mass Effect 2 also had six nods in total, with Sony's gritty thriller Heavy Rain picking up five, while Super Mario Galaxy 2 and indie darling LIMBO both got four. Surprisingly, Halo: Reach only featured in two categories: Multiplayer and Technical Innovation.
Meanwhile, the mass-market success of Microsoft's Kinect ensured a strong showing in the the Family category, with nods for Dance Central, Kinect Adventures, Kinect Sports and Kinectimals. Flying the flag for more traditional control are LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and the terrific Toy Story 3.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony on March 16, which will be streamed live on the BAFTA website. -
Wow. Everybody suspected that Microsoft's Kinect add-on, a camera peripheral that allows players to interact with their Xbox 360 without a controller, was going to be big, but who knew how big? The platform holder's just announced that 10 million Kinects have been sold around the world.
That's not bad going at all, and according to Eurogamer, it gets better, as Guinness has just awarded Microsoft the title of astest selling consumer electronics device ever
Apparently, Kinect sold an average of 133,333 units each day for the first 60 days it was available. "The sales figures here speak for themselves," said Gaz Deaves, who is the gaming editor for Guinness World Records. "According to independent research, no other consumer electronics device sold faster within a 60-day time span, which is an incredible achievement considering the strength of the sector."
What about the games? With Kinect Adventures as a pack-in, and the likes of Kinect Sports and Dance Central providing all your goal-scoring and dancing needs, you're pretty well catered for. Things get really exciting later this year, though, when the beautiful Kinect shooter Child of Eden arrives.
You're probably aware that Microsoft's Kinect motion-sensing peripheral is a record-breaking triumph - according to Guinness, it's the fastest-selling peripheral ever - but did you know it might be able to help the blind?
That's according to a Eurogamer report that suggests smart coders have created a software mod for the camera which helps partially-sighted and blind people navigate better.
Originally uncovered by SlashGear, the mod's called NAVI (Navigational Aids for the Visually Impaired), and it was created by two university grad students named Michael Zollner and Stephan Huber. The gadget works by connecting a Kinect to a helmet, and plugging in into a laptop. The laptop in turn is connected to a Bluetooth headset and a ibratactilebelt.
This means that the Kinect camera will be able to offer verbal and tactile warnings when the user comes up against an obstacle. A bit more clever coding sees the unit reading signs and offering directions. Not bad.
It's a project in a university lab at the moment, but it's still nice to know that videogame technology can be useful as well as brilliant fun. Nice job!
The Beautiful Game: 2012 Football Games Dissected
As soon as the first Premier League match gets under way, gamers know it's only a matter of weeks before they can start playing along at home. The virtual football season follows its real life counterpart so closely that excitement for them both overlaps into a frenzy of footy fanaticism. And things finally kick off this week, with a derby match that is now as familiar as anything involving teams with City and United in their name: FIFA vs Pro Evolution Soccer.
FIFA, the Man Utd of football gaming, dominates the conversation, of course. EA Sports has poured extra gallons of slick TV style presentation into the 2012 edition, and gone the extra mile in improving gameplay both on and off the pitch.
Three big changes have been made to the match gameplay, of which the Impact Engine is the most obvious. This is a physics model that governs every challenge, tackle and foul, making players move and interact far more realistically. Tactical Defending deepens this system, with the emphasis now on positioning your defensive line and pressuring the opposing team, boxing them in manually rather than sending the AI to get the job done. And Precision Dribbling offers benefits on the other side of the equation, allowing attackers to maintain close control while jogging, fending off tackles on the move.
Throw in a much richer Career Mode, with media and management issues as important as tactical decisions, and the new EA Sports Football Club, which links your account and progress across all FIFA branded games, and you've got a seriously impressive distillation of the sport.
What has Pro Evo brought to the pitch to combat this ruthlessly driven assault? Refinements and tweaks, mostly, although there's certainly something to be said for concentrating on getting the details right, rather than coming up with new features for the sake of it.
Key for Pro Evo fans will be Teammate Control, which allows you to control a second player with the right stick, moving them into position for the perfect pass or interception. It sounds confusing, and it is tricky to master, but the benefits are enormous and there are varying levels of manual control available to ease you in. Goalkeepers and referees have been tickled with the AI feather, making them more reliable and realistic in their responses.
Is that enough to topple FIFA from its throne? Probably not, but it definitely makes Pro Evo a much stronger game and should encourage a few die hard fans to try both of them.
And what of the more cerebral player? The sort of player who knows what 'cerebral' means. For them, the long dark nights ahead are simply an invitation to lose themselves in the warm, comfortable bosom of Football Manager 2012.
SEGA's award-winning, best-selling management sim somehow gets better every year, and this year is no exception. It's more flexible than ever this season, with off-pitch decisions getting some extremely interesting adjustments. Transfers and youth contracts are more detailed than ever before, and you can use loyalty bonuses to keep your best players happy. Equally, when negotiating that new contract, you'll have more control over where you compromise or when to stand firm. Team talks now offer five different tones, ranging from cool and level-headed, to raging tantrum.
It all comes together to create an experience where you really feel like a football manager. Not just someone clicking on a game, but a personality within the game, making decisions based on live data. It is, in many ways, the most realistic footy game around.
And if all that joypad and keyboard action has left you feeling a bit flabby and lethargic, why not just fire up Kinect Sports and boot a few penalties of your own? Football's coming home, and we couldn't be happier!

Published: 09/11/2011
When Kinect was launched with titles such as Kinect Adventures and Kinect Joyride, some thought Microsoft's new motion control technology had abandoned the hardcore gamer, but all along the developers were thinking about you.
There are two types of Kinect games. Some can only use Kinect to work, they are controlled purely by it's motion control and voice recognition interface, and can't use a controller. There are other Xbox 360 games that can use Kinect to enhance the game-play with the additional features that Kinect offers.
Below we have a selection of games that are compatible with Kinect and are excellent examples of how Kinect can improve the world for the Core gamer.Child of Eden
Offering a magical experience, Child of Eden is a game for the senses . Using elegant game-play mechanics to create a hugely immersive, first-person shooter. When you shoot, the music and the world around you shifts, the whole game ripples with gameplay. More than a game ,Child of Eden is an experience and can be done justice with words, an incredible title that needs to be played to be believed.Ghost Recon Future Soldier
You are a ghost. The first, first-person shooter that allows you to operate solely with Kinect. Reload, zoom and fire with simple gestures. Bring down your enemies in a hail of bullets with a flick of your hand. Navigate the menu customise your weapons with voice control and hand gestures. Is it perfect? Well, wel let you be the judge of that!Mass Effect 3
No messing around here this is a definitive hardcore Game. Mass Effect 3 is great example of how Kinect can enhance the gameplay of real games in a way that other consoles can currently compete with. Taking advantage of Kinect advanced voice software you can control your squad in combat with commands, giving yourself that extra edge. When out of combat, the same software allows you to take control in conversations so you need never click for your response again. If you have to save the universe, do it in style,and do it with Kinect.Forza Motorsport 4
Forza 4 has Kinect integration in almost every area of the game. If you love cars, then the auto vista is for you, exploring every feature of the car with your hands, with Jeremy Clarkson providing a detailed voiceover. When racing, Kinect tracks your movement, enabling you to check your mirrors with a gentle turn of your head. It even allows you to steer the car using Kinect, putting you more firmly in the drivers seat than ever before.Rise of Nightmares
Created by the guy behind, the classic, House of the Dead, this is clearly not a title for your mum! It gritty, it bloody, it full of zombies and you will die all the time. . . Either by being ripped apart by the hordes of undead or sliced in half by deadly traps, Rise of Nightmares is not a game for the faint hearted. You are the controller, so hold onto your limbs.Final Word
The games on this page are a but a few of the incredible range of games that Kinect can improve. With more coming out all the time, Kinect is soon to become an essential accessory for every gamer.Published: 23/11/2011
Olympic fever has gripped the planet, and we're only just over halfway through a year that has already been defined by amazing sporting action. From regular favourites like Wimbledon and the UEFA European Championship, to the glitz of the Olympics and surprise wins in the Tour De France, sport has never hogged so many UK headlines. As always, where there's an audience, there are video games looking to capitalise on the popularity - and a famous face certainly helps to catch our attention (although Mario and Sonic don't really count...). Here's our look back over the history of sporting heroes in games.
You can almost go back to the dawn of gaming and find examples of famous athletes promoting games. Daley Thompson's Decathlon was one of the enduring classics of the 8-bit home computer era, a keyboard-bashing run through ten track and field events overseen by the ghostly white pixellated face of digital Daley.
It was inevitable that a footy-loving nation such as ours would attract a flood of cheesy football endorsements as well, with everyone from squeaky scouser Emlyn Hughes to telly pundits Saint and Greavsie, to top flight players like Gazza and Beckham, putting their name to digitised kickabouts. We even had the bizarre sight of a Peter Shilton goalkeeping game, cheekily renamed Handball Maradona after the infamous "hand of god" incident at the 1986 World Cup. And while there's no name on the box, there's no ignoring the key players endorsing both FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer even today.
Ever-obsessed with sports and strategy, it didn't take long for American software companies to follow suit. John Madden had already retired as both player and coach when his name first adorned the Madden NFL American Football simulation in 1988, but it kicked off a series which endures to this day and is widely considered to be the benchmark of gridiron gaming. Madden was part of the EA Sports stable, a label that knows the value of the right endorsement. In 1999 the company's popular PGA golf series became Tiger Woods PGA Tour, and the fairway superman has been the face of golf games ever since. Indeed, the close tie between game and name may soon become a problem, as the digital Tiger performs better than his struggling real-life counterpart. Will the series revert to plain old PGA Tour when Tiger's star fades, or will EA find a new golfing hero to carry the torch?
That's the gamble when signing a player at the peak of their game. Sometimes, a games company will sign an up and coming athlete in the hopes of backing a long term winner. That worked for Nintendo, when it paid a young Mike Tyson $50,000 to use his likeness in the NES Punch Out boxing game. Within months, Tyson was on his way to being the world heavyweight champ, and the retitled Mike Tyson's Punch Out benefited from his success in the USA.
In the UK, meanwhile, Punch Out was ported to home computers with our very own Frank Bruno as the main character. Punch Out returned to Wii minus its star, while Tyson makes a surprise return to games this year in WWE '13, re-living the brief sting he spent using his name to boost the wrestling company's ratings.
Often, a sport will bubble up to the top of the popular consciousness thanks to the eye-catching feats of a particular sports-person. In the late 1990s, it was Codemasters that perked up long-running, but fairly obscure rugby and cricket sims, by shrewdly putting hot new stars like Jonah Lomu and Brian Lara above the title. Likewise, it was only when legendary racer Colin McRae put his name to the publisher's rally games that they became the owners of a blockbuster franchise, and while the DiRT series has continued to thrive without him, it was his name that got the customers through the proverbial door to begin with. Such moves weren't restricted to cult UK sports either. In 1999, Japanese firm Namco quickly rebranded the latest entry in its fledgling tennis series as Anna Kournikova Smash Court Tennis in order to attract European gamers.
It's perhaps notable that the area where celebrity endorsement paid off most spectacularly was in the rise of extreme sports, where off-beat personalities are more openly celebrated and the players are more likely to be gamers. Tony Hawk pioneered this with his skateboarding games, lending not just his credibility but also his insight and expertise to ensure maximum authenticity. Snowboarder Shaun White and BMX rider Dave Mirra quickly followed Hawk's example. Hawk's back this year, too, in an HD re-jigging of some of his classic titles for Xbox LIVE; he's gone from extreme rebel to a traditional figure, but we still love him!
Whenever sport becomes national obsession, you can bet an enterprising games developer will seize the opportunity. Gold medal-winning swimming star Michael Phelps has got a head start on his Olympic peers this year, with his Push The Limit game for Kinect already on shelves. Will we see Bradley Wiggins grace the cover of next year's Tour De France game? Will Jess Ennis and Mo Farah be running alongside us in the next Kinect Sports? Whoever is next on the podium, it's a good bet that gamers will be the winners.

1. | Uganda | ||
Uganda is a beautiful country found in East Africa, landlocked, lots of sceneries, summer all year round. It's capital is kampala, It's Governor is Julius Musenze Glass. currency is the shilling, about 30 million pipo (alot of women...sounds fun, but no). It's magnificent. "I visited Uganda last year, believe me..it rocks"
2. | Uganda | ||
Its a country in the East African region. its also refered to as the Pearl of Africa. Because it's were there the wondars of Africa are met, such as the River Nile, referred to as the jewery of the Nile. Its Back ground is simple and peaceful and more related to the Baganda tribe, hence the name "Uganda" Am now in Africa in a country called Uganda, which is the only country with Mt Gorillas in Africa.
3. | Uganda | ||
Uganda is a country in africa that has a rebellion inside it. children are captured by the LRA and forced to kill and fight. children walk to the city every night ans sleep in hospitals body to body so they dont get kidnapped. never heard of in the news because it is below sudan and can be easily ignored. a most horrible horrible situation the movie invisible children is about 3 college age kids who travel to Uganda and discover how absolutely horrible what is going on is
4. | Uganda | ||
A great place to live if you are an extreme homophobe, known for it's extreme hate of the LGBT Community, forcing all the gays to live in the slums of Uganda. One of the world's worst place to be gay. I went to Uganda to talk to and interview the guy behind the Anti-Gay Bill, I told him I was gay, but he sent goons to raid a hotel to find the interview tape, and destroy it along with me. Luckily they raided the wrong hotel.
5. | Uganda | ||
Sex (chiefly British). Term popularized in the mid-1970s by British satirical magazine "Private Eye", which reported an incident on the vessel S.S. Uganda that involved illicit sex with schoolchildren on a holiday trip. Uganda is news to newspapermen.
6. | Uganda | ||
Can be used as a descriptive word for a woman with very LARGE saggy flat breasts. "Her breasts looked good in the bra, but when she took the bra off she had some Uganda titties."
7. | uganda | ||
When you get a blow job, followed by fucking in the giner, next putting it in her ass, then the mouth again. Sandy got a full taste of her ass when the end of the Uganda came around.

This post highlights a simple, useful feature that's crept onto most of the UK's largest e-commerce sites over the last couple of years, with no real coverage.
"The promo strip" is not new, but has slowly caught on to the point it's almost standard for high street retailers, yet still fairly rare on smaller sites.
It's a very useful addition from both the customer perspective (quickly informative without being overbearing) and from the brand perspective (conversion orientated without being overbearing!).
There are 12 examples below, including variations on the central idea.

EDITORIAL | A new year on Whidbey
January 4, 2013 · Updated 3:49 PM
Even on Whidbey Island we need a fresh start once in a while, which is why the new year is one of our favorite times.
South Whidbey isn't a great place for partying with its one tavern, a pub and scattering of bars and private clubs. Nobody throws a community New Year's wingding with confetti, fireworks or slowly descending balls. There are gatherings of friends, of course, but those looking for a New Year's Eve they can't even remember usually go to some mainland hotspot. The rest of us simply spend our time reflecting on the past year and on what may come in 2013.
The year that expired on Monday wasn't a bad one, compared to others since the start of the Great Recession in 2008. Experts say the recession ended long ago, but of course those experts all have jobs. The recession hasn't ended, but on Whidbey things seemed a little better based on business receipts and housing sales. Nichols Brothers, our largest private employer, was going full-bore all year with Washington State Ferries jobs supplementing their private boat building business. Stores in Freeland and Langley were frequently busy, and Clinton made great strides as businesses worked together to make themselves a destination for other islanders.
South Whidbey's schools continued to lose students, but at a slower rate than past years. And all the seventh graders have iPads. How many other school districts can boast of such an experiment? Teachers and administrators are trying new things and aren't afraid to gamble a little bit if it might improve student achievement. That's a good thing.
Our only city, Langley, turned the corner on progress, as plans for an improved marina bore their first fruit with the boat ramp upgrade. The Port of South Whidbey is doing a good job of working with what it has to make improvements, and patiently waiting for those government grants to come through. Hopefully, they will in 2013.
As a community, we're entering 2013 in pretty good shape, slowly battling back from the recession. We're running leaner but more effectively. On a personal note, we'll all be lighter if we keep those resolutions.
We're doing our part. Now, if Congress doesn't mess it up we should experience an even better year in 2013.
Reminiscing and looking forward, that's what the new year is all about. And it doesn't even cause a hangover.

This is the motto of the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC), an organization dedicated to educating consumers about window cord safety. Unnecessary injuries can be avoided with child safe window treatments and preventative safety measures. Blindsgalore is proud to offer a wide variety of window treatment options that improve child safety. Pets are also protected by choosing a safety-oriented window covering.
The WCSC recommends cordless blinds and shades whenever possible, including shades with motorized lift as child safe window treatments. Wand control operation is another cordless choice for vertical blinds and panel track blinds, which are typically necessary for larger windows and patio doors. When the position of the window or large size of the shade prevents a cordless or motorized choice, the WCSC also approves the use of continuous cord loops for child safe window treatments. This option features clutch-assisted lift control with a looped cord that is anchored to the wall and remains the same length regardless of the position of the shade.
When shopping for a child safe blind or shade, consider which operating mechanism is right for the window. Since cordless shades are operated by gently pushing or pulling the bottom rail, make sure you will be able to reach as high or as low as you will need to position your blind. For very tall or hard to reach windows, a motorized blind or the continuous cord loop option might be right for you.
Lastly, be sure to consider the style of blind or shade that best fits your decor, personality, and light control and privacy needs. Child safe window treatments are available in a wide selection of blinds and shades from Bali, Levolor, Comfortex, and Graber as well as our own signature line.

Protecting Rivers & Your Clean Water
A Bleak Assessment for Rivers
Amy Trice, Lapham Conservation Fellow
March 28, 2013 | Stormwater & Sewage, Water Pollution
Earlier this week, the Environmental Protection Agency released a study which assesses the health of rivers and streams across the country. While the good news is that the National Rivers and Streams Assessment (NRSA) provides important data to monitor river health; the bad news is that more than half of our streams and rivers remain in poor condition.

Julie Fair, California Restoration Associate
March 27, 2013 | Water Supply
American Rivers is leading an effort to restore Hope Valley Meadow, an iconic recreation destination and integral component of the Upper Carson River watershed. Hope Valley Meadow is a valuable ecological and recreational resource, but has been significantly degraded by historical land use impacts. American Rivers is currently working with diverse project partners to develop restoration designs to improve Hope Valley's range of ecosystem services, including habitat improvements for birds and other wildlife.

Scott Bosse, Director, Northern Rockies
March 25, 2013 | Wild and Scenic Rivers
Once a year my parents would take me to my favorite local haunt – the Loxahatchee River in Jonathan Dickinson State Park. There, we'd rent a canoe and head into the riverine wilderness looking for manatees, turtles and alligators. I remember feeling like I was exploring the remotest reaches of the upper Amazon, not knowing what fascinating creatures might lie around the next bend.

Matt Rice, Director, Colorado Conservation
March 20, 2013 | Wild and Scenic Rivers
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to fly in a helicopter over the Yampa River, the last wild river in the Colorado River Basin courtesy of LightHawk; a fantastic organization that works with volunteer pilots to fly over priority conservation areas.
The Yampa River rises in the Flat Top Mountains near Steamboat, Colorado and flows through some of the most beautiful, rugged and barren country anywhere in America. The Yampa meets the Green River at Echo Park in Dinosaur National Monument.
Taking Control: Managing Your Stormwater Runoff Contribution
Jacob Dyste, River Restoration and Assessment Assistant, AmeriCorps Member
March 18, 2013 | Stormwater & Sewage, Water Supply, Climate Change
The challenges facing our rivers today are daunting; and frequently the solutions are equally so. Dam removal, floodplain restoration, and political maneuvering to protect wild and scenic rivers are not solutions that an everyday river enthusiast can relate to. Even as a professional in river conservation, the road forward sometimes feels overwhelming. I frequently find this frustrating – what needs to be done seems so obvious, yet so out of my control. Recently I've been working on a project that gives me the feeling that I can be in control of the difference that is made to the health of our rivers.

Beyonce did it for Crazy In Love. Backstreets Boys did it for Quit Playing Games With My Heart. Hedley did it for Invincible. And now One Direction can cross the necessary 'wet' music video off their list.
The boy banders have released their first music video for their sophomore album Take Me Home and use a summer campsite as the setting for their video Live While We're Young. Part Monkees, part Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City's Good Time, One Direction let their carefree personalities shine through in the fun video that will be more than acceptable to the band's legions of Directioners.
Niall Horan appears shirtless in much of the video, with the rest of the band swimming in their clothes and singing along to the new track with inflatable props. The video was reportedly shot in England, and gives off the same European summer feel as the group's debut video, What Makes You Beautiful.
Tune into New.Music.Live. tonight to watch the broadcast premiere of Live While We're Young. Take Me Home hits shelves on November 12.

Risk matters as much as return in any mutual fund investment, but assessing the risk of a specific mutual fund can be a challenge. Even though mutual funds have become increasingly complex, their risk disclosure was designed for a simpler era, when funds used only traditional investment strategies.

Henry Rinder MD
Professor of Laboratory Medicine and of Medicine (Hematology); Associate Director, Yale Pathology Residency Program; Director, Clinical Hematology Laboratory; Associate Chair for Clinical Affairs (Diagnostic)
Research Interests
Biomaterials; Blood Or Blood Products Or Transfusions; Cardiopulmonary Chest Medicine; Cytokines; Hematology; Inflammation; Laboratory Practice Or Procedure; Thrombosis Adhesion Molecules; Blood Platelets; Cardiopulmonary Bypass; Coagulation; Hematology; Hemostasis; Reticulated Platelets
Research Summary
Dr. Rinder's research interests primarily revolve around cellular coagulation and platelet physiology in two related areas. First, the laboratory investigates the biology of platelet activation and subsequent leukocyte-platelet adhesive interactions. Our laboratory has investigated the responsible receptor-ligand pairs, the adhesive alterations as a result of signal transduction, and differences in functional cell adhesion based on cell lineage and phenotype. This bench investigation has led the laboratory into studying the mechanisms of platelet and leukocyte activation during platelet storage and in the setting of extracorporeal circulation. During extracorporeal circulation, the complement system plays a major role in stimulating cellular events and this, in turn, has led to investigations of specific complement component blockade.
Our second area of interest has been the detection of that subset of platelets which is most recently released from the circulation ("reticulated platelets"), analogous to red cell reticulocytes. Enumeration of reticulated platelets has allowed our laboratory to explore platelet kinetic diagnostics in patients with different etiologies of thrombocytopenia, in patients with thrombotic disorders, and in those recovering from marrow injury. These studies have also led to bench studies of reticulated platelet function in order to discern the differential hemostatic potential of the youngest circulating platelets.

Very interesting and insightful. Some of the connections to poker were maybe a little tenuous (imo), but that doesn't make the stories uninteresting nor cheapen the advice. Thanks for doing this.
If you were going to literally create a poker blueprint for somebody fairly new but not uninitiated -- let's say a micro or SSNL reg who wanted to move up as far as they could -- what would it be? Apart from problems with self control, what pitfalls should they look out for?
