Has your water ever broken/leaked slowly?
How did it start?
How did you feel?
This has never happened to me before but I'm having certain symptoms and wanted some input. I go to the doctor tomorrow regardless to get checked.
With my son it they were about to break it but it broke on its own.
With my DD I felt like I peed myself a few times, then when I was getting ready to go to the hospital it broke all over the couch, Big huge gush!!
When I was in labor. When the triage nurse checked me my water broke. They told me to walk to dialate more so I leaked all over the hospital lol. It didn't break in a gush, but a slow trickle. But I was in active labor then, not before
I never had a gush. But my mucus plug came out and when the midwife checked the next morning, she said that I was leaking amniotic fluid. Off to the hospital i went!
my water broke on its own, it seriously felt like everytime my stomach tightened up for an hour that i peed on myself
I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I was going to pee, made it to the bathroom without a drop spilled. It literally felt like I was having a period that posiedon would be proud of, just when I thought it was over I would stand up and goosh, I spent a good hour in the shower waiting for my ob to answer his phone.
With my daughter it broke in the middle of the night. I was sleeping and had no idea what it was, plus it happened a month early. It honestly felt like I had peed myself but it was bloody. A few mins later, the pain started. (contractions) I had my daughter 4 hours later :)

The European Central Bank launched its latest effort to soothe fears of a euro collapse Thursday, announcing it will purchase sovereign bonds in the secondary market.
President Mario Draghi said the effort is meant to "help reduce the severe distortions in government bond markets," according to TradeTheNews.com.
During a press conference following the ECB meeting, Draghi said there are no quantiative limits to the bond-buying program, and that purchases will be fully sterilized (meaning the central bank will drain an equal amount of liquidity to match the size of its bond purchases). Details on which countries' bonds the ECB bought -- Italy, Spain, etc. -- will be offered monthly, with the amount of overall purchases disclosed weekly. The ECB will not require to be treated as senior to private sector bondholders. (Read the entire ECB press release here.)
The program, dubbed Outright Monetary Transactions or OMTs, will act as a "fully effective backstop to avoid destructive scenarios with potentially severe challenges for price stability in the euro area," Draghi said, before taking great pains to defend the ECB's actions. "Let me repeat what I said last month," he said, "we act strictly within our mandate to maintain price stability over the medium term; we act independently in determining monetary policy; and the euro is irreversible."
The trouble is that the program still requires countries like Italy and Spain to tap European bailout facilities -- the EFSF and ESM -- for primary funding before the ECB will point its bazooka their way. There has been resistance to signing on for such programs, due to the strict austerity measures they entail.
When reports of the bond-buying program surfaced this week, one condition attached was said to be the potential for the ECB to cease purchasing a country's bonds, or begin selling, if fiscal requirements are not met. The bond purchase program will end if there is non-compliance with conditions, Draghi said Thursday.
Equities rallied in morning trading on anticipation for a bond-buying program, and padded early gains on the announcement even with scant details on size and scope before easing off their highs. Primary indexes in France, Germany, Spain and Italy were all up better than 1.3%, while the Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 futures were up about 0.6%.
Earlier, the ECB held its benchmark interest rate at 0.75%, and the central bank reiterated that economic growth remains weak in the eurozone and while inflation may climb above 2% in 2012 it should fall below that threshold in 2013.
The euro strengthened initially, climbing above $1.26, but then dipped slightly below that mark after the bond-purchasing announcement.

"This is a new health services grants program in NIOSH, and we are pleased that DWC, in collaboration with the California Public Health Foundation, is one of six awardees nationally," said DWC Administrative Director Casey L. Young.
"The information gained should facilitate improved management of the return-to-work process, a critical element in the state's workers' compensation system," he said. "The study will also provide important new insight into the injured workers' experience in returning to work following a disabling back injury."
"One of our many challenges is to determine which factors permit health care organizations to successfully reduce medical costs and help them manage the return-to-work process in order to hold down indemnity costs," Young said.
This study is important, because although physicians play a key role in the return-to-work process, virtually nothing is known about the factors which influence their return-to-work determinations, he added. p>The study will involve a quota sample of 300 physicians drawn from different health care delivery systems. Medical charts of injured workers with low back injuries will be abstracted to obtain information about the release to return-to-work and work restrictions. Physicians will be interviewed about their knowledge and practices regarding return-to-work after low back injury.

|Character set normalization functions for Unicode, implemented as bindings to the International Components for Unicode (ICU) libraries.
|Unicode normalization API
normalize transforms Unicode text into an equivalent composed or decomposed form, allowing for easier sorting and searching of text. normalize supports the standard normalization forms described in http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/, Unicode Standard Annex #15: Unicode Normalization Forms.
Characters with accents or other adornments can be encoded in several different ways in Unicode. For example, take the character A-acute. In Unicode, this can be encoded as a single character (the "composed" form):
or as two separate characters (the "decomposed" form):
To a user of your program, however, both of these sequences should be treated as the same "user-level" character "A with acute accent". When you are searching or comparing text, you must ensure that these two sequences are treated equivalently. In addition, you must handle characters with more than one accent. Sometimes the order of a character's combining accents is significant, while in other cases accent sequences in different orders are really equivalent.
Similarly, the string "ffi" can be encoded as three separate letters:
or as the single character
The "ffi" ligature is not a distinct semantic character, and strictly speaking it shouldn't be in Unicode at all, but it was included for compatibility with existing character sets that already provided it. The Unicode standard identifies such characters by giving them "compatibility" decompositions into the corresponding semantic characters. When sorting and searching, you will often want to use these mappings.
normalize helps solve these problems by transforming text into the canonical composed and decomposed forms as shown in the first example above. In addition, you can have it perform compatibility decompositions so that you can treat compatibility characters the same as their equivalents. Finally, normalize rearranges accents into the proper canonical order, so that you do not have to worry about accent rearrangement on your own.
Form FCD, "Fast C or D", is also designed for collation. It allows to work on strings that are not necessarily normalized with an algorithm (like in collation) that works under "canonical closure", i.e., it treats precomposed characters and their decomposed equivalents the same.
It is not a normalization form because it does not provide for uniqueness of representation. Multiple strings may be canonically equivalent (their NFDs are identical) and may all conform to FCD without being identical themselves.
The form is defined such that the "raw decomposition", the recursive canonical decomposition of each character, results in a string that is canonically ordered. This means that precomposed characters are allowed for as long as their decompositions do not need canonical reordering.
Its advantage for a process like collation is that all NFD and most NFC texts - and many unnormalized texts - already conform to FCD and do not need to be normalized (NFD) for such a process. The FCD quickCheck will return Yes for most strings in practice.
normalize FCD may be implemented with NFD.
For more details on FCD see the collation design document: http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/collation/ICU_collation_design.htm
ICU collation performs either NFD or FCD normalization automatically if normalization is turned on for the collator object. Beyond collation and string search, normalized strings may be useful for string equivalence comparisons, transliteration/transcription, unique representations, etc.
The W3C generally recommends to exchange texts in NFC. Note also that most legacy character encodings use only precomposed forms and often do not encode any combining marks by themselves. For conversion to such character encodings the Unicode text needs to be normalized to NFC. For more usage examples, see the Unicode Standard Annex.
|Normalization functions
|Normalize a string according the specified normalization mode.
|Normalization checks
Perform an efficient check on a string, to quickly determine if the string is in a particular normalization format.
A Perhaps result indicates that a more thorough check is required, e.g. with isNormalized. The user may have to put the string in its normalized form and compare the results.
Indicate whether a string is in a given normalization form.
Unlike quickCheck, this function returns a definitive result. For NFD, NFKD, and FCD normalization forms, both functions work in exactly the same ways. For NFC and NFKC forms, where quickCheck may return Perhaps, this function will perform further tests to arrive at a definitive result.
|Normalization-sensitive comparison
Compare two strings for canonical equivalence. Further options include case-insensitive comparison and code point order (as opposed to code unit order).
Canonical equivalence between two strings is defined as their normalized forms (NFD or NFC) being identical. This function compares strings incrementally instead of normalizing (and optionally case-folding) both strings entirely, improving performance significantly.
Bulk normalization is only necessary if the strings do not fulfill the FCD conditions. Only in this case, and only if the strings are relatively long, is memory allocated temporarily. For FCD strings and short non-FCD strings there is no memory allocation.

Want To Skip Class At UGA? Pay $10
Like most major universities, the University of Georgia had a problem. Its student-athletes weren't attending class, and weren't faring well in school. Sounds familiar, right? Yes, but UGA wasn't content raking in the dough on the football field and nothing more. Student-athletes would never miss a practice, and the school wanted to find a way to make sure they feel the same way about attending class. So they came up with a novel new idea - student-athletes were fined $10 per unexcused absence.
Silly, you say? $10 may seem like a pittance to you and I (ok, maybe just you), but for a college student it's at least a meal. And you know what, UGA's plan worked.
More than 50 percent of UGA's student-athletes had a GPA of 3.0 or better for the first time this past spring semester. And while dropped classes went down, credits earned went up! 770 credit hours were earned last spring, while 954 were earned this time around. During a three week period in January, there student-athletes missed 46 classes, a 90 percent drop from the 421 over a like-period last September.
Kudos must be given to UGA for coming up with a proactive solution to this major problem in college athletics. Especially in the major sports, it really seem that nobody cares about academics. It's gotten to the point where it's become a running joke. No matter how many feel-good ads the NCAA runs, it won't change it. But measures like UGA's can. It instills an integrity to the process that is needed. $10 may be a drop in the bucket once the star WR turns pro, but until then, it still gets his attention.
"It's exactly what we want," Evans said. "We want our individuals going to class and getting a quality education."
"For some students, it's the one thing though that stops them from missing more appointments."

My heart has been craving real, raw, unaltered lyrics. God has been showing me how much influence music has in my life. Words have the ability to empower, inspire, change, and free our souls, and that's exactly how He intended it to be.
My heart has felt so tangled these past few weeks. In the midst of my messy circumstances God has been freeing my heart through song and praise. He is using music to renew me, uplift me, and help me recognize what a moment can hold when I choose to seek Him in all that I do, including what I listen to.
He makes it well within.
He renews the weak with strength.
He gives hope to the hopeless.
He is grace undeserved.
He is love unchanging.
We are all in need of Grace Himself, and I pray He continues to work in our hearts through song.
I hope this playlist brings hope to your current circumstances, or your heart's aching voice, or your simplest prayer.

Watching Edie by Camilla Way
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don't know why I didn't get to this book sooner. I certainly wish I had of done. It's a great premise, fabulous plot and twists that kept me spinning.
The thing is, the author drips enough that you need to keep reading and sniffing where the final trail leads you. It's a guessing game what "happened" so you're shouting " come on, what was it".
Edie is new in the area. Happy in her own skin. A social kind of person, fits in with anyone, pretty too and attracts attention although she's not aware of this and neither does she use it to her advantage.
Opposites attract.
Heather is the first friend she makes.
Not very social, doesn't mix easy. Over weight and she has some background.
Edie is happy with her new friend.
Heather is too.
It's a dark complex read for many reasons. It certainly kept me awake reading into the early hours when I should have been asleep.
I'm trying very hard to not give spoilers away. Once you have read this you will understand why.
The last book I read by this author I loved. I wondered if she could at least nail it again for me.
Yes! She did.
She can't write fast enough for me. I just loved it.
My thanks to the Harper Collins UK via Net Galley for my copy and also to Goodreads for my paperback copy which I shall treasure.

Last October we told you that Coco Rocha and Georgia May Jagger were Rimmel London's latest spokeswomen. Now we have Coco's first campaign, modeling their new shades of nail varnish. Photographed by Liz Collins, the colours are certainly vibrant but we're not quite loving the 70s-style blue eye shadow that much (luckily it's an ad for nail polish right?). What do you think?
Stay tuned for the first look of Georgia May's Rimmel campaign – if the Daily Mail's behind the scenes look was anything to go by, it may be hotter than Coco's.
Meanwhile Coco announced on her blog overnight that she was engaged to her long time boyfriend, James Conran.
"I'm very happy to announce that I am engaged. Mr. Conran proposed last week and I most definitely accepted," Rocha wrote. "I don't think I've ever been so happy as I am right now. I can't wait to start the rest of my life with him…"
Congratulations Coco & James!

Hearing via law enforcement source that Aaron Hernandez will be arrested in connection with the North Attleborough murder
Fantasy Impact:
Steve Silva is Senior Sports Producer for Boston.com, so we'll take his report as accurate until we learn more. While we don't have anything definitive, it's certainly not looking good for Mr. Hernandez. Needless to say, if you are drafting today, let somebody else gamble on Hernandez. We've currently dropped him to TE5, but this is really just a risk assessment stab in the dark as we wait for this situation to play out.

text: Marty1198 4 Posted March 9, 2013 Hi guys. Looking for any suggestions in regards to tail light bulbs I bought. Got these from ebay and although the pins are offset and staggered which is correct for my Focus, they will not turn and lock into the bulb holder because the pins are upside down. By that I mean that the pin nearest the contacts should be higher up the stem of the bulb and the other pin should be lower down. If that makes sense. They slot into the holder in the correct manner but will not turn and lock. I have emailed the seller to arrange returning the bulbs but just wondered if anyone has experienced something similar, or if anyone has adapted bulbs to fit the holder before.

Leaf Type: Black
Where to Buy: 52Teas
About This Iced Tea Series:
Here are FIVE unique iced tea blends we've created from high quality Nilgiri CTC teas. These are uber fine teas, so they are not as pretty as our whole leaf teas, but they steep up a bold, rich, flavorful iced tea. We've packaged them in one ounce pouches, which is just enough for one gallon of iced tea (more if you re-steep) so you can just rip them open, dump them out and steep. No measuring required!
Taster's Review:
I don't know if I'm just getting better at brewing iced tea (it does take me a couple of times to really get into the swing of it), or what, but, it seems like these blends from 52Teas keep getting tastier. This one is amazingly good.
The flavor is INTENSE! I am not one to judge alcoholic drinks since I don't drink them often (read: almost never), but, based on my memory of the few piña coladas I've had in my life, this tastes remarkably like them. Basically, if you were to take a piña colada and mix it with some Nilgiri black tea – that's what this tastes like.
The black tea is much less pronounced here than it is in the previous tastings in this iced tea series. That is not to say it's too weak, because I can taste the Nilgiri black tea here, but, the piña colada flavor is the dominating taste.
The pineapple and coconut are quite harmonious, and there is just a hint of rum. This is just the way I would want a piña colada to taste if I were to order it in a bar. But then, why pay $9 bucks for a fancy, bar-made piña colada when I can have this at home for a fraction of that? That's an awful lot to pay for the paper umbrella and a hangover.
I am just loving this iced tea series!
Anne started her journey with tea as a casual drinker and became more serious about her tea drinking when she realized that she couldn't drink coffee. Shortly thereafter, she started becoming obsessed with the beverage and she started creating small-batch, artisan blends of tea that she sold online as LiberTEAS. After a few years, she realized she wasn't cut out to be the sole proprietor of a business so she closed LiberTEAS and started reviewing teas online. She met Jennifer through another blog that they both reviewed for and they decided to start their own review blog. This review blog!
Throughout her journey as a tea reviewer, she discovered 52Teas and became enamored with the idea of creating a new tea every week. When the founder of 52Teas decided he wanted to move on, he offered the business to Anne but knowing that she wasn't cut out to be a sole proprietor, she instead offered the company to her oldest daughter who employs her as the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas!

Mises Daily Articles
The Folly of the National Sales Tax
Facing a historic national debt that President Obama correctly characterized as "unsustainable," yet still desiring to implement some sort of national health-care package, US policymakers, notably Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad and former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, have recently hinted at the possibility of a national sales tax. More specifically, they hint at possible implementation of a national value-added tax (VAT) which would tax at a certain rate the difference between the cost of inputs and the price of the output along each individual step of production.
Beyond the factual objection that a national tax on consumption would fall disproportionately on low-income consumers who spend a greater percentage of their income on consumption goods and save at a lower rate than do higher-income consumers, the VAT is a particularly odious proposal for all consumers because of its effect on overall economic activity.
Because it places an extra cost onto every step of the productive process, the VAT necessarily decreases the marginal productivity of both capital and labor in literally their every possible application. Without affecting the actual scarcity of the basic physical resources available for use in an economy, a value-added tax simply makes each step of each productive process less efficient, with a certain fraction of output being destroyed by government. The final result of this economywide loss in efficiency is a real increase in the scarcity of both capital goods and final consumer goods on the marketplace.
The VAT is a rare and heinous type of government policy that attacks not the ratios of exchange between certain goods, but rather the availability of every single good produced within a national economy. Put another way, a VAT has the ability to increase in real terms the prices of every good legally produced and sold within a country's borders. By decreasing the real output derived from national resources in this manner, the VAT necessarily decreases the material standard of living for all of a nation's consumers.
Furthermore, these effects are not mere theoretical points but real effects that are certain to be felt by the everyday consumer. Any VAT that would be able to raise a sufficient amount of money to fund new health-care initiatives would necessarily place a significant burden on each step of the productive process, resulting in a noticeable decrease in the standard of living of every consumer.
The burden of a value-added tax would fall disproportionately onto those goods that require long productive cycles involving several processes and that result in a final good valued much more highly by society than the raw inputs they require — for example, automobiles and personal computers. Such goods are the end products of the types of long-term processes into which businesses tend to heavily invest capital and labor during the boom portion of a credit-expansion cycle, as Mises explained in his theory of the trade cycle.
During the beginning of a recession, as the insufficiency of real demand for these products becomes apparent to entrepreneurs, they must, in an attempt to return to profitability, decrease or halt the production of these long-processed goods, or reduce their price to market-clearing levels. However, by more harshly increasing the costs of long productive processes, a value-added tax would make that second option, a price reduction, impossible — or at least highly unprofitable and ultimately loss-inducing for makers of goods such as cars and computers. Therefore, the only alternative left to such firms facing a VAT in the event of a recession is to even more intensely halt their production of those goods, exacerbating the rise in unemployment of laborers within those industries.
Even if we were to ignore all other consequences of the value-added tax, this economic reality ought to dissuade President Obama from considering a VAT, as it will especially harm the already-ailing domestic automakers. The introduction of a VAT would require more direct subsidies to the American automakers, though perhaps that is no deterrent for President Obama.
As if this weren't enough, not only do all consumers face higher prices for everything, but the introduction of a VAT would tend to distort market signals of consumers' preferences between certain categories of goods. In the form of higher prices for highly-processed goods, a VAT sends entrepreneurs a phony signal that consumers prefer goods of high processing over those of low processing more strongly than they actually do. This is similar to Mises's teaching that a central bank's credit expansion, when not supported by real savings, falsely distorts the picture of consumer preferences between current and future goods. And, as was central to Mises's teachings, no economy can efficiently allocate resources without an unhindered and market-determined price system.
Unfortunately, because the general Keynesian theories of capital and interest and of consumer choice do not accurately describe the phenomena of resource allocation and of consumer choice, President Obama will not be offered any valuable advice about the potential catastrophe that would result from the introduction of a VAT.
The most striking irony of the fact that the president's economic team is considering the VAT is that it stands in stark contrast to their economic policy paradigm thus far. As neo-Keynesians, top figures from Bernanke to Obama himself have blamed the recession on insufficient aggregate consumer spending by the private sector. It is curious, then, that these top-ranking left-liberal politicians and economists would even consider the implementation of a tax policy that would, as its explicit goal, increase the real price of literally every consumer good and thereby depress the overall efficiency and activity of the American private sector.

your story is really good and has a lot of potential. one thing i noticed is that it lacks emotion. when her mom comes at her with a knife, or is sentenced to 6 years in prison, its all written factually. you don't sense the emotional and physical pain Elizabeth has to live with. i'm sorry if it sounds harsh! you have a lot of potential!
| SecretPassion chapter 11 . 11/19/2010

After all the beating, I think she should have given her mom hell. I mean if I was put in her situation, I would of yelled at her or somthing. But knowing that she wanted the emancipation, she had to be civil. Even though I thought the ending was kind of rushed, you did a great job! Thanks for the FUN!

this is a nice idea and a good story but in some places it feels like you're more interested in describing the band t-shirts elizabeth is wearing. the characters havn't been built up and neither have any of their relationships. it was a good plot though so sorry if you think i'm being harsh

Wow . ! I have got to say that was intense! . I really thought that the mom was going to stab her! I think that is really messed up that the mom is abusive. I hope she gets what's coming to her in the next chapter, and is thrown into jail! But, I am really liking your story! I can't wait to read more. Keep up the good work! :)

David Pasternack
You'll see seafood in a whole new way.
Starting with the photograph of the adorable David Pasternack on the front cover, there is a lot to like about The Young Man & the Sea — written with Ed Levine — and its more than 100 inventive and comforting recipes. Unless he's fishing, Pasternack doesn't seem to stray very far from his stove. He has been cooking at Esca, a restaurant he owns in partnership with Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich, since 2000, and he conveys his passion and dedication to his work in this book.
He loves raw fish, and his recipes for crudo — raw fish delicately dressed with citrus, good olive oil, and coarse salt or herbs for texture — are a revelation if your only reference point has been sushi. A lot of the recipes that I liked best were the ones he cooks at home. Inguazato, a simple, soupy recipe for monkfish with couscous that he makes for his Sicilian in-laws, was delicious.
But the restaurant recipes are well within the abilities of home cooks. Pasternack is a kind and generous guide to the fresh flavors of the sea, and his enthusiasm should inspire you to go beyond what he calls the Big 3 — tuna, salmon, and swordfish. Fish calls for less fuss rather than more, and David Pasternack understands how to enhance fresh fish without ever falling overboard.

I am a hard working mom of 5!! From 18 down to 6. My house is a mess most of the time but I can't afford to stay at home anymore. I started back to work as a paralegal when my youngest went to kindergarden and I love it.
you are:
You have a disorganized approach to shopping. You spend a minimal amount of time planning,
budgeting or thinking of gift ideas before you hits the stores. You often find
yourself shopping during the final days before the holiday, stressed out and grabbing
just about anything you can get your hands on.

By Shane Ivey, (c) 2009.
Willpower is a crucial currency in both Godlike and Wild Talents. In Godlike, where it's simply called Will, you earn it most often for defeating enemy Talents and for saving your allies' lives. In Wild Talents it is fueled by motivations, the Loyalties and Passions that define each character. In both games Willpower reflects morale and characters' ability to persevere despite obstacles and threats. The GM awards it when a character achieves critical goals. The amount of the award depends on the scope of the achievement.
The standard Willpower award for a significant accomplishment in the game is one point: You get a point of Willpower for a single act of heroic risk that succeeds, or for spectacular performance under stress (in other words, rolling a set at height 10 with normal dice).
For a more substantial achievement, a couple of new guidelines might be useful.
First, award a number of Willpower points based on how substantially the achievement supports one of your motivations—its SIGNIFICANCE.
If the achievement lasts beyond the current round, award bonus Willpower points for PERSISTENCE.
If the achievement benefits a large number of characters, award bonus Willpower points for SCOPE.
1 Willpower: A minor but direct benefit or advantage to one of your motivations.
2 to 3 Willpower: A moderate benefit or advantage to one of your motivations.
4 to 5 Willpower: A major benefit or advantage to one of your motivations.
+0 Willpower: Immediate benefit—the current scene.
+1 Willpower: Short-term benefit—the current game session.
+2 Willpower: Long-term benefit—multiple game sessions.
+3 Willpower: Permanent benefit—it will last until other events change it.
+0 Willpower: It benefits only you or a small group of characters.
+1 Willpower: It benefits a town or organization.
+2 Willpower: It benefits a city or a large organization.
+3 Willpower: It benefits an entire country or civilization.
Just as you can earn Willpower by fulfilling your motivations, you can lose it—sometimes a lot of it—by failing one of your motivations. A catastrophic failure calls for a Trauma Check in Wild Talents, or a Cool + Mental Stability roll in Godlike. That's what you get when you try to save a buddy's life but he gets blown away in your arms, or when terrorists launch a devastating strike on the hometown where you've invested a chunk of your Base Will as a motivation.
If the disaster is not quite that disastrous, take another look at the Significance, Scope and Persistence numbers. But this time they add up to a penalty. An event of moderate (2 or 3 Willpower), long-term (+2), city-wide (+2) detriment to your motivation might cost you 6 or 7 points of Willpower.

Durable barcode labels for vials, slides, plates, cassettes, cryogenics & more
We recognize the need for lab labels to handle extreme conditions such as cryogenic storage or rigorous chemicals, stains and solvents like xylene or acetone. Not only must a label adhesive hold up, but so must the printed information as that conveys critical product, patient or testing information that you simply must not lose!
Perhaps you have been struggling with labels that fall off in tight racks or your print is smearing? Or maybe you are just tired of handwriting on your samples and frustrated with all the mistakes that occur in transmitting data into your information system? No problem! We will work with you to help identify your specific labeling challenges and narrow down your choices so you can quickly test the right Lab Label Samples.
Here are some of our Lab Label Solutions:
Slide Labels
Our family of CytoLabel® slide solutions offer alcohol, stain, DMSO and xylene resistance. We've succeeded in overcoming the difficulties of slide labeling found throughout many labs studying Cytopathology and other related fields.
Paraffin Cassette Labels
Made to withstand the same chemicals used in Slide accessioning, but also the processing of paraffin-embedded tissue blocks used in Histology and Pathology.
Cryogenic Labels
Designed to adhere to small, tight diameter vials or any container that endures very cold, cryogenic storage for extended periods of time. Perfect for labs studying Microbiology, Virology, Genetics, Forensics, or other related fields.
Plate Labels
Specifically engineered to fit on microwell plates, micro assay plates and microtiter plates, to hold up to repeated freeze and thaw cycles, and to withstand DMSO and other chemicals. Perfect for labs concerned with Drug Discovery and other related fields.
Vial Labels
From high quality paper to synthetics and durable polyesters, we offer labels for use on test tubes and vials. Perfect for labs dealing with Chemistry, Hematology, and other related fields.
For people new to barcoding, we offer QuickStart™ Laboratory Printing Systems that come complete with everything needed to get started printing your own tube, vial, slide or plate labels on-site and on-demand. These kits include an easy-to-use desktop printer, label software, labels, a printing template and full instructions.How to Print Your Own Label Labels.
If you already have a printer, but need label printing software, our BarTender® programs are perfect for you. They make label design and printing quick and easy. We also offer a good variety of blank lab and medical labels for direct thermal, thermal transfer and laser printers. If you already know what you're looking for, feel free to visit our store.
Do You Want EIM to Print Your Labels for You?
We can partially or completely print your labels with just text and/or barcodes or we can incorporate tinting for color-coding and add graphics. We are totally familiar with data files and are flexible to meet tight deadlines. If you are unsure about whether you want to print your own labels or use our pre-printed label services or printing in-house is a viable option, check out our printed vs. blank info for help.
For everything else, including information on our stock selection, custom solutions, print capabilities & other services, please feel free to contact our Label Experts. We offer free samples and quotes, and we'll work with you through every step to ensure a right choice. If you already know what you're looking for, feel free to visit our store.
For any barcode label, pre-printed or blank, we can help with your Lab Label requirements.

One of the most common criticisms we have had to endure is the "biased" nature of our research simply because we link to Amazon. Not a single accusation has been backed with concrete proof of any cherry-picking on our part.
Still, the appearance of bias is not something we want to be associated with, and so we've clarified that these links are auto-generated (eg look at our Creatine page), and have also expanded our About page to include how we continue to do what we do.
At the same time, if you see anything incorrect, please tell us! There are three simple ways:
Each supplement page has a "Discussion" link on the right. Click on it and let us know where we are wrong (here is a good example on a mistake we did make)
Submit Studies to us.
We take our unbiased claim very very seriously. For example, it's why we say Tribulus Terrestris is quite useless as a T-booster, even though it is pretty much the most popular one.
Any comments or concerns, please comment on our Facebook post.

I've been dreading the writing of this blog post. I like peanuts, particularly in Snickers Bars or candied by a street vendor in New York and shoved into a little white bag, still warm. I just don't have a whole hell of a lot to say about them. My dad didn't grow them. I didn't eat them boiled as a kid and I don't
Maybe it's because I grew up in a family that loved to eat, but my most powerful childhood memories center around food. I don't remember tearing into presents on Christmas morning. Instead, I recall shoveling down sausage biscuits and orange juice, and I smile when I think about how Uncle Bunk lost a toot
I'm spending the week with my family at Emerald Isle, NC. We take a week every summer, rent a beach house here and spend every hour in each other's presence. We do not go out for dinner in small groups, and spending time with friends or inviting non-family members over is frowned upon. This week is pretty much family time, all the time. As you might imagine, I do most of the cooking and it's actually something I enjoy. The week before our trip I treat like the lead-
As a kid I microwaved my grits. My mother would no more have slow cooked the suckers than slaughtered a chicken. So instead, I stirred my Uncle Ben's together with Velveeta singles and crumbled sausage, plopped myself down in front of Pee Wee Herman and called it a fine Saturday morning. I knew I lived in the South of
Chef and the Farmer is a seasonal restaurant. That mantra manifests itself all over the place these days, but really what it means is this: our menu reflects the natural world. When the leaves start to turn and there's a little nip in the air—like now—I turn to things like apples, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and game birds to spell autumn. The funny thing about our world today is that I could spell autumn all year long using a food service provider and, honestly? You
I'm often asked how the series, "A Chef's Life," came to be. Truthfully it's a long, drawn-out story involving about 3,000 phone conversations and lots of miles driven between Durham and Deep Run. I won't share with you all the logistics of the near nightmare but I will share the beginnings of my desire to docume
My dad always says the person who makes the most out of the least is really doing something. Much of Southern food and the pork cracklin for sure grew out of this mantra. Don't waste anything. You may think it's trash, but we're gonna make it tasty. Pork cracklins, historically, were just a by-product of rendering lard after a hog killing; a snack, meant to be eaten with a roast sweet potato at the end of a long day spent stuffing sausage, salt rubbi
If you're reading this, you probably know I grew up in rural, rural Eastern North Carolina. Living in the country meant our water came from a well and unlike "Little House on the Prairie" and the Dear Liza song, our well was serviced by a pump. We had what I grew up calling a pump house, a little structure that mimicked the design of our home, surrounding the pump...a pump house. My mom planted a strawberry patch around it sometime shortly after I was born
When I think of sweet potatoes, I think of my Grandma Hill and of Thanksgiving. The youngest of 10 children, Grandma Hill began life as a farmer's daughter in Duplin County, NC. Over time she would become a farmer's wife, mother and eventually grandmother. She moved and loved like someone who's work was never done and rarely noticed. Grandma Hill was strong, always digging in the yard under a white brimmed hat, or making work in her kitchen look ea
There's this myth surrounding chefs these days, building us up to be much more than just folks going to work and doing their best to create tasty food that we feel good about. Instead, the job title suggests we know every technique, every temperature, and every thought process behind every dish out there. I would like to blame the media or the celebrity-chef consciousness for these assumptions, but the fact is, we as chefs don't do much to discourage these misconceptions. As a
I've mentioned my mom's life-long bout with rheumatoid arthritis before. Through two shoulder replacements and many other reconstructive surgeries, she raised four girls, taught school, and bred Doberman Pinchers for spending money. As you might imagine, meals were simple at my house. Mom didn't fry chicken, can pickles, or roll out biscuits. Instead, when Scarlett geared up to make a soul warming meal for our family, it was almost always a pot of chicken and rice. Hands down, this is
As a kid I didn't think too much of the oyster. Far too often, my parents' love for the bivalves got between me and The Baron and The Beef, Lenoir County's best dining experience. The name says it all: imagine a steak and baked potato shrine with an "excellent" salad bar (including the most tender meatballs in

Certain illnesses and medications can affect the strength and density of a child's bones. We created the Bone Health Program to help all young patients maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of broken bones (fractures) and other injuries.
From healthy kids with broken bones (fractures) to survivors of complex conditions and children with disorders that affect bone growth, the Bone Health Program at Children's National focuses on optimizing every child's bone health and reducing his or her risk of future fractures. Our world-renowned expertise and personalized approach help your child avoid fractures and build strong, healthy bones to improve their mobility and quality of life.
The Children's National Bone Health Program specializes in caring for healthy children, children with inherited (genetic) bone conditions, and children whose bones have been damaged from illness or poor nutrition. Our team of experts gets to know every child personally and approaches each treatment with your child's future in mind. Our knowledge of the field and dedication to enhancing treatments to meet the needs of each child help us provide the best possible care for children with a broad range of bone health conditions.
Highlights of our program include:
We offer the full range of pediatric bone health treatments, including multidisciplinary counseling and advanced medical therapies that are not widely available. We pride ourselves in spending a lot of one-on-one time with children and their families. This helps us tailor your child's treatment and help him or her achieve the best possible outcome. Learn more about bone health treatments.
Your child's bone health plays an important role in his or her future health and quality of life. During childhood, bones get big and strong by storing important minerals, such as calcium.
Children who are not able to build strong bones often cannot catch up in adulthood. That's why we focus on addressing bone health issues as early in childhood as possible.
The good news is your child's bones are constantly changing. With proper treatment, he or she may be able to improve his or her bone quality and reduce future fracture risk, as well as the negative impact of many bone health conditions. Improving bone health during childhood helps prevent or delay broken bones later in life.

Don't be clowned by the clowns of the political circus,
They pledge allegiance with the Ronald Mcdonald of all clowns,
Might sound strange but their affiliates are all made of all shades,
but different in creed,
Its all greed, gluttony, lust, sodomy, sloth,
now you must all get prepared for the wrath,
It not a question I ask, nor is it a task that I wish to delegate,
its simply the direction of fate,
when a Land is founded on love, inspired by faith,
hand crafted, nurtured, and protected by man,
And then invaded, hate instigated, integrated,
by a white devil with fangs,
that wishes to suck your blood and have your body hanging from gallows,
Women having to walk down streets in fear of shadows,
down narrow, avenues in barrows,
When all values and our very vision of God is taken,
our very vision of god is faked,
A new god awakens, but this time the anti-christ,
takes on the shape of clown,
Your economy takes on the shape of a dog almost like a
God but I switched the letters around,
Actually its a poodle, carefully crafted by the clowns hands,
out of balloons,
as the ballooon starts twisting together,
the sounds of plastics twisting and rubbing together,
ready to pop,
It dosen't matter whether your ready or not,
the fascist is here, but the clown bares make up
smudged with a tear of human resistance to fear,
tears reflecting human kind resistance to hate,
but you can't resist what is destined to fate,
this type of thing makes the blood boil,
but you convince its fine,
Fascism already arrived, all be it baring disguise, wearing make up,
made up to look like a clown,
the type you'd trust your children around,
the type you invite right into your house,
the type to let him play a trick on your spouse,
and it doesn't matter that you want him to leave,
he's wanting to stay, but he's done a lot of entertaining today,
let switch the roles around, hows that sound?
bitch get on your knees and do some clowning for me!
the house of clowns is Britain,
sitting in parliamentary seats,
dogs barking at each other on the streets,
try escape from the leash,
They made you think you made your last wish,
now its lights out, adulthood is made for the beast,
Health care is privatised dentistry, invading your mouth,
and replacing your teeth,
Education is making a fool out of you but not of me,
Because I understand it to be attempted robbery,
of free thought, creative thinking and the embodiment of honesty,
I don't care for fake apologies, or empty promises,
or history classes filled with lies of British odysseys and voyages,
I come from a land of celts, invaded by Romans and Jews,
who wanted to make a home for the few,
and for the rest in chains as slaves to garden the view,
Born in Britain but my ancestry remains in the east,
baring the Kirpan, ready to slice the neck of the chief,
Ready to take the life of the clown
because right now its kill or be killed, I ain't clowning around.

"Check Six" — The Ethics of Anthrax Knowledge
Ethics question: Let's say you are a military officer whose Oath of Office requires you to disobey an order that violates the Constitution of the United States.
You believe – for reasons that appear almost Talmudic to someone unversed in the details – that the order to be inoculated with an "unapproved anthrax vaccine" is illegal.
You go through the authorized procedures to make your case, including going to federal court. You lose your case, but not — you believe — on the merits.
Almost one thousand service men and women refuse to receive the inoculation and are punished. You think the punishment was wrong because the order they are accused of disobeying was illegal.
You go on with your life and career. But you learn that many more doses of the unapproved vaccine are now included in the Strategic National Stockpile. What do you do? Do you let it go and just keep your fingers crossed hoping the vaccine is never needed? Do you trod further down the Quixotic path to battle even more windmills? Do you stop trying to have the records expunged of those service members you believe were illegally punished?
A few days ago, Edward Jay Epstein published an article in the Wall Street Journal claiming the Anthrax Attack of 2001 is still an open case. Reading the article reminded me of the officer's dilemma. And a confusing story — at least to me — gets even more confusing.
In a May 2009 article the officer wrote about the vaccine, he noted the
Justice Department alleged the anthrax vaccine program's "failing" status served as the stated motive in the 2001 anthrax letter attacks. By sending anthrax through the U.S. mail system, the perpetrator was attempting to create a situation where the government might recognize a renewed need for the vaccine.
What does all this mean? As best as I can summarize:
- The particular anthrax vaccine was never proven effective.
- Allegedly, one of the U.S. scientists involved with developing the vaccine sent anthrax through the mails to create demand for more research.
- It was that vaccine service members were required to take.
- It is that vaccine that has been included in the Strategic National Stockpile, to be used on civilians if there is a need.
What is the ethically correct action for the officer who believes this to be the case?
The guest author for today's post is Lieutenant Colonel Tom Rempfer. LtCol Rempfer is a distinguished graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, and an Air Force Command pilot, experienced in F-16s, F-117s, A-10s, and MQ-1s. His prior service included membership on the U.S. Air Force Cyberspace Task Force, as well as flight safety and operational risk management duties. He recently graduated with a homeland security master's degree from the Naval Postgraduate School. His thesis — available at this link — is titled: ANTHRAX VACCINE AS A COMPONENT OF THE STRATEGIC NATIONAL STOCKPILE: A DILEMMA FOR HOMELAND SECURITY.
If you are one of the people interested in the 2001 anthrax attacks, or anything related to it, LtCol Rempfer's thesis is worth a read.
"Check six." Fighter pilots use this term to warn fellow aviators to look to their six o'clock position and avoid impending threats. This is the objective of Lieutenant Colonel Tom Rempfer's Naval Postgraduate School Center for Homeland Defense and Security thesis.
The thesis details the history of the anthrax vaccine incorporated into the Strategic National Stockpile after the anthrax letter attacks of 2001. Prior to that time, the vaccine suffered from unapproved manufacturing changes, GAO documented potency increases, controversies over Gulf War Illness, quality control problems, threatened FDA notices of license revocation, Department of Defense (DoD) plans to replace the vaccine and recommendations by the George W. Bush administration to minimize its use in August 2001.
According to the FBI, the anthrax letter attacks in the fall of 2001 by a US Army scientist successfully rekindled demand and overcame the vaccine's "failing" status. Since those attacks, DoD leaders leveraged the crimes to revive the anthrax vaccine program and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) endorsed the purchase of over $1 billion for the Strategic National Stockpile, all while federal courts declared the program illegal due to the vaccine's lack of proper licensing.
The author's involvement with the DoD anthrax vaccine controversy spanned the ten years preceding his Master's degree. He challenged the program in accordance with his Oath of Office, which demanded military orders adhere to the law.
LtCol Rempfer testified to Congress and his legal efforts to seek accountability continue with a recently filed Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court and an ongoing case with the Board for Correction of Military Records. Well documented alliances in his pursuit of justice include Connecticut legislators such as Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, Senator Christopher Dodd, former Representative Christopher Shays, and a tenacious Veteran advocate, Mr. H. Ross Perot.
The author's ultimate goal to expunge the records for the almost one thousand Servicemembers wrongfully punished for refusing to comply with the illegal mandate serves as a backdrop, as well as his goal for proper care for those harmed by the vaccine.
The thesis describes unhealthy precedents where illegal policy, resuscitated through bioterrorism, could lead to dramatic expenditures and expanded use of the vaccine for the civilian population. The author recommends the government resurvey the use of the vaccine for the American people and suggests the new administration should "check six" by ensuring Homeland Security Presidential Directive reviews support vaccine stockpiling in light of the proven efficacy of antibiotics, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The thesis encourages a Presidential Study and Policy Directive process to review systemic problems associated with the anthrax vaccine from a historical lens. In doing so, DHS Secretary Napolitano protects the Obama Administration from being duped into adopting historically plagued, unnecessary and wasteful policy.
One clarification: the current "lost" case is under appeal, so it's not over 'till it's over.
Plus, there's another case at the corrections board which is an effective win. The court agreed with my position, ordered the DoD to address records corrections, but the DoD has simply done nothing to correct the wrongs. That case is now headed back to court too, to compell the DoD to do the right thing.
These two latest cases were preceded by a complete win in a separate case. The government was found to have violated the law because the vaccine was never licensed by the FDA until 2005, six years after they ordered service members to take the vaccine and punished those who refused.

International Bestseller, Available Now!
Golden Bones: An Extraordinary Journey from Hell in Cambodia to a New Life in America
Synopsis: "While the United States battled Vietnamese Communists in the 1960s and 1970s, in neighboring Cambodia dictator Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge declared war on their own people, enslaving and slaughtering anybody who disagreed with them. Sichan Siv knew he would soon be a target—ending up, perhaps, as one of the millions of anonymous human skeletons buried in his nation's Killing Fields—so he heeded his mother's pleas and ran.
Captured and forced to perform slave labor, Siv feared that he'd be worked to death or killed. It was only a matter of time. But he never abandoned hope or his improbable dream of freedom—a dream that liberated him, astonishingly, from his brutal captors and ultimately led him to the United States, where he later became a senior White House aide."
Available Now on:
Sichan Siv is the international bestselling author of Golden Bones, an American dream story published by Harper-Collins, and the political thriller Golden State. In 2001, after unanimous confirmation by the US Senate, he was appointed by President George W. Bush as an Ambassador to the United Nations, serving until 2006. He is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the George H.W. Bush Award for Outstanding Public Service, Anne Frank Lifetime Achievement Award and Brazilian Academy of Art, Culture and History Honors.

Ford offers various personalization programs for some of its vehicles including its new, 2011 Fiesta. To raise awareness about the Fiesta and its customization program, Ford is putting eight customized hatches on the center stage at its display at the Specialty Equipment Market Association this year."It really shows how Fiesta can be accessorized and how this canvas can be altered to meet many different customer wants and desires," Sam De La Garza, Fiesta brand manager, said. "SEMA represents a special opportunity, because we can show off unique designs that other companies have created. It's not just Ford coming to the table. It's other companies interpreting what Fiesta is, and bringing their own style to the Fiesta launch."Of the eight Fiestas headed to SEMA, only two are customized by Ford itself, revealing the aftermarket's adoration for the small car. One of Ford's customized Fiestas draws inspiration from its World Rally Championship sibling, featured in Ken Block's Gymkhana 3. The car is done by Ford Racing Performance Parts, and as such, features more than a body kit and paint job — both of which it has. Ford Racing made some significant changes under the Fiesta's hood, inserting a 2.3-liter version of Ford's turbocharged, EcoBoost four-cylinder where the normal 1.6-liter four should be. This gives the Fiesta a whopping 350 horsepower — an increase of 230 horsepower over the standard car, but still 300 horsepower shy of Block's Fiesta.In addition to the engine swap, Ford installed a short-throw shifter, new exhaust, and 17-inch, cast-aluminum wheels — all of which can be order from Ford Racing Performance Parts. Other changes include Brembo brakes and Ohlins dual-flow dampers for better stopping power and handling.Ford's second car is done by its personalization program and includes more modest additions in line with the other Fiestas. Apart from the Steeda Auutosports Fiesta, which includes a retuned and lowered sport suspension, the remaining Fiestas consist of body kits, special paint jobs, and unique interior graphics. The other tuned Fiestas come from Universal Technical Institute, 3dCarbon, L&G Enterprises, H&R Springs, Steeda Autosports, and FS Werks. Look for all eight Fiestas to take center stage at Ford's stand this year when the SEMA show opens on November 2.

Monk Wary Of Possible Summer Departures
Swansea City skipper Garry Monk says he's not looking forward to the Summer as he's afraid that some of our best players could be attracted to joining Premiership clubs.
Martinez's side look set to miss out on the play-offs this season as both Burnley and Reading, our main play-off rivals, won this week, extending their gap in the top 6.
Speculation has began already linking the likes of Angel Rangel, Jason Scotland and Jordi Gomez with moves to clubs like Manchester City, Middlesborough and Newcastle United.
Monk said to the Evening Post:
'I am not looking forward to the summer,'
'I know I am going to be switching on the TV and seeing stories or hearing rumours about the lads moving on and it's going to be difficult if big clubs come in.
'If the chance comes to play Premier League football, and to earn five times as much as you are on now, it can be difficult to turn down.'
The Swans will be looking to go one better next season and will at least be aiming for a play-off place following our successes this year. It'll be hard to do that though if we're missing our best and most influential players.

text: So this week while watching the US Open I kept hearing CBS refer to the location of the Tennis Center as being in Flushing MEADOWS, which is what their graphic said as well. I was always under the impression that it was Flushing MEADOW. At first I thought CBS was just being illiterate and/or ignorant (they did admit during the Capriati-Dementieva semi that they had been mispronouncing Dementieva for the last 4 years, after all :D ) [then at one point referred to her as "Dementia" ] so I looked it up on a New York map to verify. My map from about 2000 does indeed refer to it as MEADOWS, whereas my map from about 1994 refers to it as MEADOW. When did they change the name, and even more to the point, WHY????

This is in response to the story headlined "Stabbed boy forgives attacker" (Express, February 5). It is not often that we can cliché "out of the ashes comes the dawn of a new era", but today is such a day. There is currently a wave of violence and bullying in our schools and many theories have been offered as to the reason. Some purport that bullying occurs because the bully is or has been a victim of bullying. Others suggest that bullying is as a result of an abusive home environment. Perhaps a simpler reason may be that the human condition in its most base state, succumbs to the need to prey on the weak or seemingly inferior.
As an educator, I have found that in most cases, bullying is a result of indulgent parents who have not taken time to discipline the child and instil a sense of responsibility or respect in him or her. Thus when placed in the public space of the school environment they are ill-equipped to respect others and their space.
Whilst I am not dismissing other reasons offered, I will maintain that most of us have ignored the value of good parenting. I believe that if parents take time to teach their young ones those virtues that part of the problem will be solved. Parents of bullies should teach their children they are responsible for their actions and must take time to discipline them rather than blame others.
I would like to commend the parents of the victim of the stabbing, for instilling in their son a sense of responsibility and respect. He has demonstrated the ideals of: "root, cause, analysis" and has acted in a most mature manner. Let's look back: He pranked someone and that someone rather than bring the matter to the school's authority decided to stab his assailant. The victim of the stab addressed his unfortunate circumstance by not only apologising for his first act of pranking but even went further to forgive!
Hats off to that young man! Bullying is a serious allegation and I am pleased to know that there are parents who have taught their children to take responsibility for their actions. Please understand that if more of our youngsters are taught to take charge of their actions and face the consequences especially when they hurt others, there might be some hope to rid ourselves of this demon. Getting to the root of the matter can make a world of difference. Was the boy right to stab him? No. We must then ask ourselves what message is he being sent? The parents of this boy must be distraught but the question must be asked: what would cause such a violent reaction, almost to the point of killing someone?
We have one issue piggybacking on another. Victims of bullying feel they must react, and rightly so, but how? Out of the ashes of this desperate incident, let us find hope in the knowledge that respect and responsibility once taught can heal wounds. Let us get to the root of violent reactions before offering analysis. Good job to the bigger boy! You took responsibility, you found the root of the response and you took a non-violent route to its resolution rather than perpetuate the violence. Please T&T, if we do not look sharp we will be faced with more stabbings. Is one life worth a cockroach in a bag?

Nine-year-old Yuvraj Deshmukh sets the track on fire
The Pune biker is making heads turn on India's motocross circuit
It seems like consistency is Yuvraj Deshmukh's middle name. For, the nine-year-old from Pune has won all the three rounds of the prestigious eight-race Dubai Motocross Championship that have been held so far.
Pune lad Yuvraj Deshmukh(above and inset) practising at the Ajmera I-Land racing academy in Wadala, Mumbai. Pic/Atul Kamble.
Yuvraj, in fact, is so talented that come January 18, the nine-year-old will take on a field of 10-12 riders — all older than him in the U-14 moto-cross race to be held at Ajmera I-Land Racing Academy's track at Wadala.
"Nobody is as good as me in the U-10 category. That is why I chose to participate in the U-14 category as well as the
U-10 event," Yuvraj said.
At first, these words might seem cocky, but that is not the case. Coached by eight-time motocross national champion, Rustom Patel, the nine-year-old is just very confident of his ability on a bike, which was first spotted by his mother, Swaroopa, when he was just three years old.
Testament to his calibre is the second-place finish he notched up against a strong field at Virginia's Lake Sugar Tree Motorsports Park in a motocross race organised by AMA (American Motosport Association). This after he had finished 10th against the same bunch of racers in an earlier race.
Talking about his experience in the USA, Yuvraj said, "US was tougher than Dubai. The riders in US are faster and the track has more muck. "In the US, we learn new tricks. I prefer big tracks. I have a liking for tracks that have big jumps."
The Class IV student's performances caught the eye of Atul Ajmera, the director of Ajmera I-Land Racing Academy (Wadala), who sponsors the Vibgyor High School (Pune) student. The life of a moto-cross racer isn't easy. At an age where chocolates and ice cream are almost a daily staple, Yuvraj, for the sake of his racing career, has learnt to control himself, says his dad Sandeep.
Food for thought
"No chocolates and ice cream for Yuvraj. He needs to follow a strict diet. The diet includes high protein items like egg-whites and grilled chicken. He needs to keep his weight under control.
"His stamina should be good. Hence, he goes for swimming and cycling. This sport demands fitness and Rustom sir ensures he pushes Yuvraj to stay fit," says his father. Yuvraj trains three to four days a week but says balancing studies and racing is not tough.

Well, this site has been built a while ago in a different content management system (CMS). It serves the purpose of Internet Marketing for a boutique resort, offering luxury villas, apartments and studios. Guests can see the rooms and the environment and they can make bookings and payments online. Nowadays it is vital to present your accommodation in the internet so you can stay in the market. A well done marketing campaign for a resort can help over low seasons and even over many kinds of crisis. Internet marketing for a resort or any accommodation for that matter doesn't end by having a nice website. Internet marketing is different to any other marketing or promotion campaign; very different!
First you have to understand the most important difference between a website and other marketing media and campaigns; a brochure for example, or a poster, or a newspaper ad, your business cards, you set them up, print and publish them, then distribute them and you're done with it. Your website, as beautiful and perfectly made it might be, needs to be advertised to make things work. And there comes Internet Marketing into play. You need to promote your site because otherwise it will be you and your hamster, who are looking at the site and nobody else! Promote your site on social bookmarking sites, in forums, in social networks like Facebook and MySpace. But today's most important advertising is called Google AdWords and is so called Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. You only pay when someone clicks on the ad you created. Ads are published in in search engine result pages (SERPs) and on other websites that match your sites subject if you wish. We will get to Google AdWords and Facebook ads in a separate article.
