Hi all, i have been for my test results today at 3pm and have been put on clomid tablets for pcos.
The lady which prescribed me (not my usual dr, just a nurse)gave me my results and prescribed my clomid plus something else which starts me bleeding as i haven't had a bleed in ages.
She told me i could only have this clomid for 12 months and if it didn't work the only other chance i have is ivf which we would have to pay for as we already have 1 child (a beautiful little girl who is now 2 years old)
i'm so scared the clomid wont work in this 12 months and we will get into lots of debt trying ivf. this is not fair-yes i know i have 1 child and yes i do feel very lucky to have her and she means the world to me-but why do they think this makes it any easier that i have another a child that i should just be happy! i am happy but i crave another baby!!!!
It really makes me so upset! emily jade was my first born (hopefully not my last) and as you all know, first borns are a worry as you dont know what to expect and constantly worry about them etc and i crave another baby to just enjoy knowing i have been through it and to just ENJOY.
I think it should be if you have 2 children you dont get free chance at ivf personally.
I dont know i'm just so upset n need someone to talk to who understands me!!
What if these 12 months dont work? will i end up re-mortgaging my home for another child?
Sorry for the rant just feel so low.

Hi Mummy
big hugs babe
i think you hit the nail on the head. i have spent harrys first year terrified about doing everything right and listening to everyones advice and absolulty agree, we have decided to try for number 2 and this time i am determined to enjoy it.
i only just came off the pill after my wedding 3 weeks ago so i am hoping to start tracking my period but already i have done 3 tests this week just incase and im at that point again when i am staring at baby clothes everywhere i go.
If its any consolation i had PCOS albeit it mild, and still concieved twice. There must be lost of women on here that have been in your position and i bet there are plenty of happy endings to reassure you.
hi mummy
i dont have any fertillty problems,but i understand how u feel about wanting another child,it doesnt mean u are not happy with the child u have,its nice for them to have a sibbling.
my husband and i are having big problems at the mo!he has 2 children from previous 15 and 12 and we have a beautiful daughter together,he doesnt want anymore kids but of corse i only have 1 child shes 16months and with the hugh age gap will be like an only child,i not only want another child for her it is for me to.
im finding the thought of never having another child devasting!as im sure u do!
this is really affecting our relationship(what there is left of it)
i just want 1 more child and then my family will be complete,as u said u do spend alot of time worrying is this wrong is that wrong r they ok etc.......and i agree second time around would hopfully be more enjoyable!
i do hope tablets work for u!
good luck!
Thankyou for your replies Kathy and Carol .
Hope you get preg very soon Kathy.
Carol-i do hope things work out for you hun.
Good luck both of you.
I was like you i was put on clomid after 3 and half years of trying naturally. I was given tablets to start my periods then on the 2nd day of my period had to take the clomid. I went for blood tests 21days later to see if they had worked. Normal progestrian levels are 45-89 i was told mine were 165 so its save to say they worked. So before i took my next lot of tablets i had to do a test if i didnt have a period which was common for i think i had 3 last year!! so i did the test and it was positive ive done 4 all positive had bloods taken as well to confirm it im only 5wks but they work. after over 3 years of trying nothing take a tablet for 5days then boom!!
They do work so don't give up hope if it doesnt work straight away. Good luck
Try not to worry too much and stay positive! I have PCOS and had a twin boy and girl in 1997 following two high doses of clomid (a very old fashioned doctor who didn't really understand how they worked and mis-diagnosed. When he prescribed them he told me to take them for the first month but still use other contraception - when I queried how I could possibly get pregnant then he got his book out and said oh no you don't need to use anything! Doh!) Anyway, I was orginally expecting triplets (shock!) but sadly lost one between 12 and 16 weeks. Fortunately the other two were fine and only born 3 weeks early.
When the twins were around 3 years old we decided to try for another baby and many people had said after being pregnant it can kick-start your system and it could happen naturally. We tried for a year or so and nothing happened except very irregular periods so I went to the doctor (a new one by now!) He put me on 3 month supply but unfortunately nothing. I repeated this around a year later but unfortunately still could not get pregnant and I was down for quite a while but then took comfort in the fact that I already had two happy and healthy children. However, my yearning for another child would not go away so at the end of 2006 I went back to the doctor and after various tests he agreed to let me have one more 3 month course (have to admit I didn't hold out much hope but it was worth a try).
I had almost resigned myself to the fact that I was not meant to have any other children and looked into becoming a childminder so that I could spend time doing what I loved. We couldn't afford IFV so that would have to be that. First two months - that sinking feeling when the period starts and I thought well I'll take the last course but it won't happen. I immersed myself in pursuing the childminding path and low and behold although I had period type pains I realised my period was 3 days late! I did a test still not expecting it to be positive but it was! Three more tests later and I actually started to believe it!
Megan was born in December so she is now 4 months old. My twins were 10 years and 1 month when she was born and they absolutely dote on her. Megan is the most happy and content baby that you could wish for and was definately worth the 7 year wait! I am now about to start my childminding training as I don't want to go back to work and leave her! So I would say to you and anyone else just don't give up and if you can relax and try not to think about the whole infertility thing it seems to work better.
Best of luck and keep us informed. xx
hi hun...i really feel for you,but if you start thinking "right ive one year2get pg ,thats my lot" u'll be under a lot of stree and there fore may not conceive! you should just think...if im not pg in this yr that im gettong clomid,i will carry on as i'll buy some online!!?? they dont cost much at all,u get 30 tablets (50mg) for £46,u only need 5 a mth dont you? if it did come to this though i would totally recommend you take a 3mth break after the yr of perscribed clomid,just to give your body a break but your not going to need this as you WILL get pregnant soon hun,think positivley...it does you the world of good you will have two children....u will have more if you want!!
i myself,will probabley be perscribed clomid,as ive low estrogen levels,i had bloods done at the consultant(for somethinf totally different)anyway they tested my hormones and when i went to see my gp he said although you havent had the follow up app yet i need2tell you,youve low estrogen...i was so so shocked,but he reassured me,and said we dont know wot cd you were on when u had this blood done so have them done on cd21,which is 1oct and we'll refer you 2a gyne,i was extremley upset when my gp told me this,but he said getting clomid will be the extra help i need,i had a mc in mar08 (first ever bfp aswell) so gp doesnt think it must me2bad,in the meantime my partner gary took his sperm sample in last wk,so hoping and praying this is going to be good....and i will just have 2take one day at a time, as will you,because you will get there,but your stress levels need to be lower,dont worry about having to get pg within a yr as im sure you will be pg b4 then!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOH nooooooooooo do NOT self prescribe clomid, please honey08 don't advice that hun!!!! YES its tempting but VERY VERY VERY wrong!
You need to be VERY closely monitred with ultra sound, your ovarys can hyperstimulate etc etc
I was so tempted to do that after my mc and three years ttc, but the assisted conception unit put me in my place...
Ttc is a bitch of a road at the best of times, ladys i hope you all get to the end of the road safely and its a happy ending xxxxxx
I can recommend a reputable pharmacy (Clomid) - onlinecheappills.com I recieved my pills within one week of ordering them.P.S. 5% discount coupon code: 4y3g6f4k
So, 2 weeks ago I was prescribed Clomid, 1 tablet a day for month one, day 2-6. Then a blood sample a day 21.I have been given 3mth of treatment if I stay on the lower dose of 1 a day. I have low progesterone, no signs of PCOS and I cycle regularly 28 days on the nail!
I have no children, but my husband has 3 from a previous marriage. We do not qualify for NHS IVF or IUI despite me having no children. I am 36 years old and we have been TTC for 2 years with no luck at all.
I am trying to be positive and trying not to think about it , I hope it happens! I have everything crossed.
I feel odd though with all the side effects..... soooo bloody hot! eating and eating rubbish, bursting into tears for no reason. argghhh!
Why me?

Chris VandeVelde 10-11: Sign on the Window
The Chris VandeVelde story for most of 2010-11 was that of a struggle. The enormous gap between NCAA and AHL hockey has been proven time and again by Oiler prospects over the last few seasons (Taylor Chorney, Colin McDonald, Geoff Paukovich, etc).
The final portion of his season–ironically the one that began with his first callup to the NHL–kicked off his strongest showing of the entire year. How do these things happen?
A few reasons, I think. VandeVelde probably felt comforable with his linemates (played with Giroux and Hartikainen 50% of the time at evens), and his role was likely simplified by the coaching staff.
He looked good, real good. Not Teemu Hartikainen good but like someone you could hope for and cheer on and maybe he'd score or make a nice play.
You couldn't say that about a few Oilers this season.
Chris VandeVelde 10-11
- 5×5 points per 60: 0.72 (17th among forwards but DNQ)
- 5×4 points per 60: nil
- Qual Comp: 2nd easiest faced among forwards but DNQ
- Qual Team: tied for 7th best available teammates among forwards but DNQ
- Corsi Rel: -13.5 (17th best among forwards but DNQ)
- Zone Start: 54.3% (3rd easiest among forwards but DNQ)
- Zone Finish: 59.5% (2nd best among forwards but DNQ)
- Shots on goal/percentage: 16 shots/0
- Boxcars: 12gp, 0-2-2
- Plus Minus: -6 on a team that was -52
- What do these numbers tell us? There aren't enough at-bats to prove anything, but at least we know coach Renney can protect players when he's of a mind to do it. He's shy offensively and his CorsiRel is shady based on how many minutes he played/zone starts/opposition. He did have a nice faceoff percentage (52.8%) in 159 sorties, so he was taking a lot of faceoffs and winning more than half of them.
- How could these numbers be better? You'd like a lot more offense but this is a small sample size. I don't think he was ready, so when viewed through that lens these numbers are plenty good. I don't know if he's going to be a player, though. In his favor, VandeVelde had a strong playoff after being sent down to OKC so maybe he just needed some confidence.
- He's big and a center who can win faceoffs. You bet, the Oilers need them by the dozen. However, the club also has Anton Lander arriving this fall and the Swedish kid could jump ahead of VandeVelde on day 1 of training camp. Plus one would hope they'll be shopping for NHL veterans at the position.
- What else can he do? He has enough size to impact the game physically. I see only one fighting major and it came after a high sticking penalty so maybe he has that gear. He only did it once, though.
- So he won't be an Oiler? Looking at the current depth chart, there's Horcoff, Gagner, Cogliano and Fraser clearly ahead of him based on how coach Renney used the roster last season. Add in Lander and that's maybe 5 ahead of him on the depth chart. Behind VV are O'Marra, Arcobello and Kytnar plus Pitlick might be in there somewhere.
- Can you see a scenario where he plays with the Oilers in 10-11? Sure. They draft RNH and send him to Red Deer, they move Cogliano to the wing and he beats out Lander for the 4line job.
- Will that happen? Who knows. The Oilers move in mysterious ways.
- What should happen? Tom Renney should walk into the office, drink a gallon of goat's blood, scream at the moon and threaten to burn crop circles on the lawn unless the Oilers hire an actual center.
- Oh.

It frustrates me that there are still people who think that if a female character isn't slinging a gun or swinging a sword, she's automatically categorized as a 'whiney damsel in distress' or something along those lines. Like a female character needs a weapon in order for her to be a strong character. I see this a lot when it comes to Pepper, that all she does is scream and get rescued by Tony -
No. Just. No.
Years of being Tony Stark's secretary teaches you patience, tolerance, and molds an otherworldly work ethic - but it does not teach you how to react when crazy guys holding electric whips or wearing big metal suits try to attack you. She can scream when she's scared. Any regular person would do the same. And yes, Tony saves her when she's in trouble - but don't forget, in the last two Iron Man movies, she's had a hand in saving Tony not once, not twice, but three times.
Pepper Potts is sassy, smart, and she has willingly put herself in harm's way to help save the person she loves - all without having to shoot a gun.
So basically, if you don't like Pepper Potts, you're wrong and you should feel bad.

Are all people with faith judgmental, niece, jerks?
I consider myself a Christian, grew up in a conservative house, and live a life based on Biblical principles.
But just because I have faith that doesn't mean that I have any right to judge those who don't. I have been seriously bothered by the characters playing Christians in entertainment this past week.
One episode of The Office has a group of naive over excited college age kids heading out to a missions work trip while the other members of the church bitch and moan about there not being enough food at the baby dedication.
In the movie Easy A a school click of Christians say things and act as though they are better than others, that pity should be placed on anyone who doesn't have faith.
Last time I checked Jesus wasn't all about making people feel shitty and judged all the time.
I'm just saying that for people like me there is another side to who we are and how we live amongst other people. Not all of us walk around all day thinking we have all the answers, thinking we're better than everyone, or even trying to sway you all to think the way we do.
There are people like me who have a strong faith and a love for others just the way they are.

Cops seek robber who threatened to kidnap 4-year-old in Staten Island
Police are looking for a man who threatened to kidnap a girl during a robbery in Staten Island Sunday night.
At 10:45 p.m., a 41-year-old woman and her 4-year-old daughter were approached by a Hispanic man in his thirties at a bus stop on Forest Avenue in Elm Park.
Cops said the man stuck a sharp object in the back of the woman.
"Give me your bag or I'm taking your daughter," the man then said, according to police.
The suspect grabbed the child's hand and let go before taking the woman's purse and fleeing northwest on Barrett Avenue.
The victims were not injured during the robbery.
Police said the suspect has a stocky build, weighs roughly 200 pounds and is 5'5" tall. He was wearing a baseball cap, black t-shirt, grey shorts and black and white sneakers.
Cops ask anyone with information about the incident to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.

Concordia held its annual football media day on Tuesday. The Cobbers hosted television reporters from three different television stations as well as the Fargo Forum newspaper.
"We are very fortunate to be in an area where we get incredible media coverage," commented head coach Terry Horan. "We are the only school in the MIAC that has extensive local television and newspaper coverage on a daily basis."
Horan and several key players from this year's team spent the morning answering questions and commenting about this year's squad and the expectations this team has after an 8-2 season in 2012.
In addition to the players getting a chance to hone their interview skills, it gives the media their first look at how this season will shake out.
Concordia's media day is different than other Division I or II schools as it gives each individual media member a chance to talk with Horan and the players on a one-to-one basis.
"It's a lot more personable," viewed KVLY-TV sports director Jamal Spencer. "Coach Horan will spend talk with us off camera and take the time to chat as person-to-person not as just members of the media." Spencer, who is originally from Michigan and spent time covering sports in the Lansing area, also assessed the quality of the preparation and attention to detail on media day. "Concordia does a great job sending out info ahead of time to help us get prepared for the day and once we are there it is very organized and structured."
Concordia has been conducting football media days for over 20 years. It ends up being the unofficial kickoff to the fall season for the Concordia sports information department and starts the long trek until the end of track and field season at the end of May.
Horan summed up media day by saying, "I know that once we have media day summer

"Hegel and the Possibility of Intercultural Criticism"
Tuesday, April 22
Commons Annex Lecture Hall
Abstract: In Hegel's philosophy, the concept of "ethical life" presents powerfully the way in which human beings are formed by the specific social contexts in which they are situated. With his discussion of the idea of "conscience," conversely, Hegel shows how individuals intractably shape these worlds, leaving the mark of their singularity upon all that which forms and claims them. This paper will examine this account of the two-sided character of human agency so as to develop an approach to a particularly charged issue facing political practice—namely, the issue of intercultural criticism, or the issue of how to identify and approach instances of injustice in contexts and worlds that are not one's own. I will argue: a) that the idea of ethical life shows what is wrong with the strategy of simply imposing one's own political mechanisms on other contexts; and b) that the idea of conscience shows what is wrong with simply refraining from any kind of communication and criticism in the name of the self-determination of the other people with whom one is concerned. Through analysis of the conscientious stance of confession and forgiveness, I will conclude by identifying what would be required for a just approach to political action and judgement across cultural borders and between social worlds, or what intercultural interaction and communication leading to better sociopolitical conditions would look like.

"The Epistemology of Logic"
Thursday, September 19
Commons Annex Lecture Hall
Abstract: Recent work on analyticity distinguishes two kinds, metaphysical and epistemic. This paper argues that this distinction allows for a new view in the philosophy of logic. According to this new distinction, the claims of logic are metaphysically analytic and have distinctive modal profiles, even though their epistemology is holist and in many ways rather Quinean. It is argued that such a view combines some of the more attractive aspects of the Carnapian and Quinean approaches to logic, whilst avoiding some famous problems.

If the cure for cancer and AIDS really is being developed, how will it impact society's willingness to live healthy lifestyles?
Topics: cancer cures
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 6 2013: "If this cure becomes a success, will it give people a sense of complacency? Will society shift to an even more unhealthy way of life?"
Yes, to some degree it will. However the effect will be limited because many people never let the threat of cancer affect their lifestyle choices while other people are deterred by the penalty of physical unattractiveness that comes with an unhealthy lifestyle and that penalty will never go away.
I don't know why you included AIDS, since it typically does not result from inherently unhealthy behavior.

Animated GIF in 3D
Webtoy plays any animated GIF in 3D space in your browser, playing each frame spatially and sequentially from each other. You can use the mouse to move around and change the perspective of the animation.
The first animation above is an example used within the project. Using a GIF made from many images of a human body cross-section, the animation displayed is created from the sequence of the images - it is not a 3D model in itself, more a stack of animated frames next to each other.
You can use any GIF you have on your desktop - not all GIFs will be successful, but I tried out one of Max Capacity's pieces which works well with the pixellated image - the effect is not too far off like a lenticular postcard.
Put together by thespite, you can try it out here

Going into Game 2 my thinking was if the Los Angeles Kings didn't win they could be in for a big uphill struggle. It seemed like the Chicago Blackhawks were playing a quicker game and starting to look like a dangerous team. Well, Los Angeles not only drew even in the series, they made a statement and skated off with a 6-2 victory. For now there's no reason to rush to get a Stanley Cup parade permit as the advantage has swung toward the Kings.
It hasn't happened very often but the Hawks were overwhelmed as Los Angeles scored six straight goals. For the first 35 minutes the Blackhawks were in control but great goaltending by Jonathan Quick and taking bad penalties helped reverse the tide. The Kings won their first game ever in Chicago in the postseason and now go back to Los Angeles with a home ice advantage.
There were some questionable calls against the Blackhawks but that's the NHL. More than anything else the Kings did a great job of taking advantage of mistakes. They were the better club because they converted chances and Quick slammed the door shut. Corey Crawford wasn't special and neither was Chicago's penalty killing but it was errors that were the real undoing of the Blackhawks.
After a power play goal by Nick Leddy in the opening frame and an early second period marker by Ben Smith all was going great for the Hawks. The home side carried a 2-0 advantage until 18:14 of the middle frame.
Cutting the lead in half before the third period began was significant for Los Angeles as the puck squirted in off the skate of Justin Williams and through Crawford. The Kings started to play better late in the second frame and finally were getting some offensive zone time. But it appeared the Hawks would weather the storm.
That might have been the case but Brandon Bollig was whistled for a questionable interference call at 1:14. Bollig was wrong but seldom do you see an interference penalty take place so far away from the puck. The Kings took only 23 seconds to tie the score but the Hawks weren't famished making mistakes as an ominous third period was just beginning.
This time it was a bad line change, and a too many men on the ice call that gave Los Angeles another power play. Shortly thereafter the Kings capitalized again on the power play to take the lead and they never looked back.
Los Angeles marched on and the Blackhawks were not finished having brain cramps. Tyler Toffoli put a wrist shot past Crawford as it appeared the Hawks stood still because they thought the puck hit the netting and was out of play. The whistle never blew and again the Kings made the most of a Chicago miscue.
Jeff Carter added another marker late in the period and then scored an empty net goal to complete his hat trick. The Blackhawks were done long before the final buzzer as the Kings scored six straight goals and now head home a content club.
Jonathan Toews had a tough night as he didn't record a shot on goal and finished a -2. Toews also had trouble winning faceoffs. At one time Toews was only about a 30 percent winner at the dot, he rallied to finish the game at 44 percent.
The Kings are deep at center and they all can win faceoffs as they won 61 percent of their draws. Michal Handzus was a dismal 25 percent while Marcus Kruger was the best for Chicago at 63 percent. Kruger only took eight faceoffs and it is still open for interpretation if he is nursing an injury.
Many will say the turning point of the game was a great save by Quick on Brent Seabrook while the Hawks were up 2-0. No doubt that was a huge stop but my thinking falls in line with Darryl Sutter's post game comments.
The Kings head coach remarked killing off a 5-on-3 power play in the first period was a key. He also mentioned scoring late in the second period and early in the third were also game changing moments for the Kings.
My conclusion is the Kings stayed alive by getting out of the opening 20 minutes only trailing by one. They then took over as mistakes piled up for the Blackhawks.
However you want to look at it the Hawks went from appearing to have the series in control to facing a big challenge. The setting shifts to Los Angeles and there is another two day break before Saturday's match. It's difficult to say who the time off will favor but the Kings have to be feeling great about their chances on home ice.
The Blackhawks are difficult to figure out.
They often win but seldom have overpowered an opponent in the postseason. Actually the Hawks still have not played well over a full 60 minutes. Sometimes it appears the Hawks can win another Stanley Cup doing just enough to get by. At other times it seems like they are waiting for the bottom to fall out.
Wednesday night the buzz at the United Center turned to near silence. The Blackhawks were stunned and so was the crowd. It remains to be seen if the Kings turned the tide in only one game or the entire series.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
...contains broad generalizations which may be objectionable to some readers. ;-)
At one end of the fan continuum are those for whom winning is everything. At the other end are those who identify with the individual players. Most of us are somewhere in the middle. After all, if you care about the athletes, you want them to win! And if you're focussed on victory, you need some familiarity with and understanding of the athletes who must achieve it.
When it comes to talk of trades and injuries, fans strongly reflect the nature of their bond with the team. Some of us hate to see any of our guys leave the franchise. We've gotten to know and love them, and appreciate what they've brought to the team.
For other fans, that's an attitude most charitably described as sentimental and impractical. You do what's necessary to make the playoffs, period. After all, these guys are pros, getting paid extremely well to do a job; getting hurt, traded, even dropped, are all part of the job.
True, and yet, these are young men, not readily-replaceable machine parts. There's something amazing and unpredictable that happens when they come together and form a team, something which makes the whole stronger than the "parts." Making a change in the mix won't necessarily be an improvement, and it can be a big mistake to try and fix what ain't broke, even if it isn't working as well as you'd hoped.
In the current circumstances fans have more trouble than usual understanding one another. We each value different aspects of the team we all support, and so propose radically different solutions to the challenges the team faces.
The bottom line for everyone (owner, staff, coaches, players, and fans) is that no one will be happy if the guys can't play their best. Let's try to unite and get them what they need --even if we can't always agree what that is.
very well said. unfortunately, too many fans want the quick fix which only comes with making a hasty trade which often neglects to improve the position(s) in the most need of help. for example, all the current talk about trading Andre for another pg ... but we don't need to exchange pg's; we need to beef up or c/pf positions. as i seem to keep saying in comment of these trade proposals: let's make a trade that makes sense, rather than trade just for the sake of making a trade.
I so totally agree, Kassandra. If I say more we'll be accused of preachin' to the choir!!!
well said. sometimes a team needs to have adversity in order to make them strong. it takes time, something that we as fans don't seem to deal with. but when it pays off in the end, everyone feels better about themselves.
Well said.
well said by all!

The renovated look. Style and space were top notch.The hotel is still undergoing renovation, as evidenced by the occasional box of construction material in the hallway. But it looks really nice and stylish. The room was exceptionally clean and spacious. The beds were phenomenally soft, substantially better than another hotel I stayed at in Springfield last time. Every staff member I talked to was pleasant. The pool looked great, but I didn't have time for a swim. The continental breakfast was top notch, with a wide array of food to choose from. Even the eating area was redesigned, with a bar and stools type table so you're across from and next to other guests for more interaction. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay and will definitely stay here the next time I'm in town.

The room was comfortable enough, but had a musty smell. We could not use the indoor pool because the aircontidoning was out in that part of the building.

This did not cause us any inconvenience except that that the parking lot was sometimes full of large rigs.

Friendly staff, general cleanliness of hotel was excellent, the beds were fairly comfortable although after a few nights I was rather kind of stiff.
We were put on the 3rd floor which is a partial smoking floor, it reeked of cigarette smoke when we stepped off the elevator. To our surprise, we were placed in a smoking room that smelled of stale cigarettes. Not what we wanted after a 8 hour drive.Overall for the price I paid to book this room, half off, I would recommend this hotel if you don't mind some outdated decor and, depending on what floor, the smell of cigarette smoke. It was clean and comfortable and the staff was extremely friendly.

It was neat and clean with a very pleasant breakfast area. One of the nicest features of the room was the design of the heating/AC unit which shielded the draperies from the blowing air. We also appreciated having both soft and firm pillows.
The shower curtain was too short and the rod curved out so there was no way to keep the floor dry. They must have installed a new bathroom floor over the old one without raising the toilet because it was a long way down and up for someone with bad knees.The location is convenient for interstate highway travelers, but it sits far back off the street and the entrance is not well marked. It would be particularly hard to find during times of limited visibility due to rain, snow, or fog. Free internet access is a requirement for us and it worked well.

I recently stayed here for 7 nights while visiting family. Upon arrival, I noticed the 'Inn' to be quite dated. It had a very late 70's feel, although it looked to be remodeled. The desk clerk quickly checked me in and told me the pool hot tub was out of service, but would soon be going again. This was good news, since I had two young children with me. He gave me my room key and confirmed the NON-SMOKING room. So, my family and I unloaded our 8 days worth of luggage and proceeded to our room on the first floor. While walking down the hall we noticed a musty odor that soon turned to a smokey odor the further down the hall went. By the time we got to our door, the smoke smell was quite pronounced. We noticed that all the rooms across the hall where smoking rooms. We quickly went into our room and the smell had permeated into our NON-SMOKING room, as well. The next morning after breathing second hand smoke all night, we were greeted to a very continental breakfast, bare bones (coffee, jui...

Disappointed to find no firewood in our 'Fireplace suite' - front desk clueless as to where wood is stored/supplied from.\n\nTurns out that was minor issue.

Apple's stock is slipping, but its brand value isn't
It's still No. 1 among the world's 100 biggest names, whose combined worth is $2.6 trillion. No. 8 might surprise you.
What's in a name? Plenty of revenue and consumer recognition -- if it's the name of a well-known brand.
Look no further than Apple (AAPL), which again topped the latest annual study commissioned by advertising and marketing services firm WPP and conducted by research group Millward Brown Optimor. Their survey found that the combined value of the top 100 global brands has grown by 77% since 2006 -- to $2.6 trillion.
Some familiar technology, telecom, fast-food and soft-drink names dominate the list's top 10 positions, particularly Apple, which has withstood challenges to its brand dominance to remain the world's most valuable brand overall.
Still, some surprises also showed up in the 2013 rankings. For instance, landing at No. 8 is Marlboro cigarettes. The brand continues to capture the imagination of many consumers, despite growing health warnings about tobacco, and it remains the top-selling cigarette brand in the world.
Despite Apple's recent setbacks, its branding remains the company's "secret weapon," Millward Brown Vice President Robin Headlee recently told Digital Spy. Headlee also cites Apple's "ability to innovate and remain relevant to consumer challenges in an increasingly fast-changing and competitive market."
The study did note Apple's value grew just 1% in the past year -- compared with 51% growth for its closest competitor, Samsung (SSNLF), whose brand ranks 30th, with a value of $21 billion. But Millward Brown Managing Director Nick Cooper says Samsung spent $1.6 billion more on advertising in the past year as it vied for a lead in the lucrative smartphone market.
However, Cooper noted in a press statement, Apple's ability to maintain its top position demonstrates "the value that having a strong brand brings to business. People still love the brand regardless of its stock price."
The most rapidly rising brand category this year? According to the study, it's the world's favorite alcoholic beverage, beer. The top 10 beer brands grew by 36% and are worth a total of $64 billion.
Here are the top 10:
Apple brand value: $185 billion. Rank last year: 1.
Google (GOOG) brand value: $113.6 billion. Rank last year: 3.
IBM (IBM) brand value: $112.5 billion. Rank last year: 2.
McDonald's (MCD) brand value: $90.2 billion. Rank last year: 4.
Coca-Cola (KO) brand value: $78.4 billion. Rank last year: 6.
AT&T (T) brand value: $75.5 billion. Rank last year: 8.
Microsoft* (MSFT) brand value: $69.8 billion. Rank last year: 5.
Marlboro (MO) brand value: $69.3 billion. Rank last year: 7.
Visa (V) brand value: $56 billion. Rank last year: 15.
China Mobile (CHL) brand value: $55.3 billion. Rank last year: 10.

Ziad Rahbani (also Ziyad al-Rahbany Arabic: زياد الرحباني, born 1956) is a Lebanese composer, pianist, performer, playwright, and political commentator. His compositions are well known throughout the Arab world. Many of his musicals satirize Lebanese politics both during and after the civil war, and are often strongly critical of the traditional political establishment.
Ziad Rahbani is the son of the Lebanese famous composer Assi Rahbani and Nouhad Haddad,[1] the famous Lebanese female singer known as Fairuz.[2] Rahbani was married to Dalal Karam, with whom he has a boy named "Assi" but was later found out not to be his biological son. Their relationship later ended in divorce, prompting Karam to write a series of articles for the gossip magazine Ashabaka about their marriage. Rahbani composed a number of songs about their relationship, including "Marba el Dalal"[3] and "Bisaraha".[4]
On Friday April 3, 2009, the Lebanese press reported that Rahbani filed a lawsuit with the Lebanese courts, asking to disown his son, Assi Rahbani Jr., and stripping him of the Rahbani name on all official records, and voiding any legal obligation towards him as a father, after DNA tests proved that Assi Jr. is not his son.[5] Rahbani has also had a well-publicized relationship with actress Carmen Lebbos, which lasted for 15 years before the couple agreed to separate. Rahbani has a long standing relationship with Lebanese leftist movements, and is a self-declared communist and atheist.[6] Coming from a Greek Orthodox family, his politics and atheistic view point have meant that he has been at odds with some of his ex-coreligionists.[7] During the Lebanese civil war, Rahbani resided in mainly Muslim West Beirut.
Rahbani's first known artistic work was "Sadiqi Allah" (My Friend God), a collection of writings between the years 1967 and 1968 when he was in his teens. In 1973, at age 17, Rahbani composed his first music for Fairuz, his mother. Assi Rahbani, his father, was hospitalized and his mother Fairuz was to play the leading role in Al Mahatta by the Rahbani brothers. Mansour Rahbani, his uncle, who had written the lyrics of a song about Assi Rahbani's forced absence, gave Ziad Rahbani the task of composing its music. The song "Saalouni El Nass" (The People Asked Me)[8] gained Rahbani recognition in the music world.
Rahbani appeared for the first time on stage in Al Mahatta where he played the role of the detective. He also appeared later on in the Rahbani Brothers' Mays el Rim[9] in the role of one of the policemen. Rahbani's first step into theatre was with the Bkennaya Theater in Sahriyyeh.[10] He followed that with highly politicized string of plays.
Before, during and after the war, Rahbani released and co-released several albums like: Bi hal shakel, Abou Ali, Halleluja, Shareet Ghayr Houdoudi, Houdou Nesbi, Ana Mouch Kafer, Hakaya al Atfal, Bema Enno, Monodose (with singer Salma Mosfi) and Maaloumat Mush Akidi (with singer Latifa).[11]
He has also written the music for singles performed by others such as "Rafi2i Sobhi El Gizz", "Kifak", "Iza baddik" "Abban 3an Jidd".
He has done some orchestrations for songs like "Madih el Zoll el Ali", "Ahmad el Zaatar" and "Moussakafoun noun". Rahbani has also mixed several albums such as Al ra2i el 3aam and Moussakafoun noun.
He has held concerts like the Oriental Jazz Concert in the BUC Irwin Hall, the Las Salinas Concert, the Forum de Beirut Concert, the Picadilly Concert, and "Mniha Concert" in Mont La Salle Ain Saadeh, the latter with his cousin Ghassan
He also performs live occasionally in pubs like "Medusa", "Mon Général" and the "Téatro".
Rahbani has also done many political shows on the radio like Ba3dna Taybeen Oulou Allah and El Akl Zeeneh and some music related shows. Since 2006, he has written a column for the Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar.
A dearth or artistic-literary criticism exists on the works of the Rahbani Brothers, Ziad Rahbani, and Fairouz. One of the main reasons beings their works are seen from a Nationalistic point of view. Proper literary criticism remains to be created most probably in later years. However, one of the most important literary interpretations are found in Nizar Mroueh's "In Lebanese Arabic Music and the Rahbani Musical Theatre": "في الموسيقى اللبنانية العربية والمسرح الغنائي الرحباني"، نزار مروة
Critically, Fairouz and the Rahbani's real works or art ended with Assi Rahbani's illness - brain haemorage - in 1973. The plays that follows: Qasidat Hub, Lulu, Mais Il Rim, and Petra, were of mediocre quality musically and dramatically compared to the profound visceral plays of before. No real art that echoes the quality of pre-1973 was created after that except by Ziad Rahbani, and with Fairouz when she cooperated with Ziad in albums or in concerts. Otherwise, Fairouz's cooperation with other composers such as Zaki Nassif and Philimone Wehbe were as mediocre and the plays that the Rahbani Brothers tried to produce. Furthermore, Fairouz's concerts without Ziad Rahbani to this day are mediocre works of art with very stiff, course and unmusical renditions of songs. The music in the Las Vegas concert issued on DVD for example sound course, unimaginative, monotonous and uncreative.[12]
With Ziad Rahbani an orchestra with a full range on instruments is chosen that takes the listener to imaginative levels in composition and rendition, and a more visceral comprehensive program of songs is created that all together create a true work of art. The best example being "Fairouz Live in Beiteddine" CD of the year 2000 concert[13] and "Fairouz in London - Royal Festival Hall" 1986[14] and other unofficial television releases such as the concert in Bercy in France 1988 and London 1994. Ziad's concerts when alone also continue on his father's pre-1973 studio quest for the best sounding work of art.
