Allergist Mom: What My Food Allergic Kids Taught Me
I provided her with a detailed history of my son's reactions that was, of course, muddled with facts and feelings. His skin-prick test and his blood test to cow's milk were both positive and the allergist told my husband and me that our son was allergic to cow's milk.
The Diagnosis
As this diagnosis fell from her lips, the same diagnosis that so often fell from mine, I experienced how it felt on the other side. It was a powerful blow. I was on the wrong side of this appointment, a side I never dreamed I'd be on. I was not the allergist that day, instead, I became the mother of a child with food allergy.
After we reviewed the perfunctory literature, I got my one-year send-off and then, I panicked. I wanted our allergist to come back in the room. I had so many questions left to ask. But I was an allergist, so how could I have so many questions? I only knew one thing – that I needed more time with her. I felt alone and anxious.
As a fellow, I'd never quite understood it when parents cried at the end of our appointments. The diagnosis and treatment was a matter of fact. You avoid the food and you avoid the reaction. But now, on the other side, I understood. It was about: how in the world you were going to avoid the food and what on Earth would happen if you didn't.
I walked out of the office saddened that, previous to this appointment, I had not really known what food allergy families go through and devastated that I had to learn it like this. It felt like I was like starting over, both personally and professionally.
The Kitchen and Grocery Store
When I walked into my house after the appointment, I went directly to the kitchen. I have always believed that our home should be a safe haven for my children, so I began my quest to rid the house of milk. I started reading labels. As I read every label on every box of food in my kitchen, I turned numb. I threw away pudding, cheese, sticks of butter, bags of chips and boxes of cookies until my cabinets and refrigerator were nearly bare. No one warned me how hard it would be to go back into my kitchen for the first time.
After putting the boys to sleep, I went to the grocery store. As I wandered the aisles trying to find food without any milk ingredients, I noticed that my usually overflowing cart was sparse. I knelt on the ground to read the ingredients of a rice drink and caught a glimpse of a pint of ice cream in another mother's cart. A feeling that I rarely had felt in my life overwhelmed me.
As I fought back tears, I realized what it was. Jealousy. I was truly jealous, deep to my core and then, immediately, ashamed. I wanted her cart. I wanted her convenience. I wanted pizza and ice cream, cheese sticks and yogurt. And I was ashamed that my desire for her food made me feel disdain toward her. No one told me that the grocery store could be this painful.
When my head rested on my pillow that night, I remember a long pause in my breathing during which all of the costs of this diagnosis hit me. I could not believe this was happening. And for the first time that day, I actually let myself think about the unthinkable: my beautiful, sweet child could actually die from eating the wrong food. A wave of anguish swept over me. No one told me about this moment, either.

Lucas Promises Star Wars on Blu-Ray in 2011
Fan Cut of Star Wars (420 comments)
When do get the edition where all the shots are tagged, and the viewer is invited to re-cut the movie with the ability to add deleted scenes, delete added scenes, and generally try to prove what the fans have been saying since 1997, that they can cut together the ultimate version of Star Wars. They can release the version which gets the most votes on the next-next Star Wars release. I have seen more packaging for this series than any other, sooner or later, whoever holds the franchise rights will do this. George Lucas won't be running the show forever.
You don't want to read the forums where Star Wars fans divide up into Sith vs. Jedi camps on allegations of vote-rigging the winning cut.

The space enclosed by the building wall is defined as the attic and is located directly under the roof. This is the area which is usually not occupied by anybody, and so it is unheated. Thus attic insulation is necessary as according to the statistics poor attic insulation will account for up to 15 % of the total energy loss in the house. Thus, insulating an attic is vital in the home energy saving process.
How Attic Insulations reduce electricity bills?
Attic insulation increases the value of a house and is an effective way to reduce the electricity bill. Given below are the tips which will help to perform proper insulation in your attic.
- Selecting the appropriate attic insulation type along with its R-value is important. Thus, there should be enough information about your budget, the building design, and its climate.
- The attic insulation should be in your budget range, besides it meets your requirements. The most common insulation types are cellulose, fiberglass batt, and spray foam insulation.
- Fiberglass insulation can be installed easily and long insulation stripes are used for it. Any color can be given to it.
- Cellulose attic insulation can be blown inside the covering and also provides good coverage for even smallest spaces. It's also available in the form of Insulation bags. It can be applied with the help of insulation blower.
- Spray foam attic insulation works by stretching and expanding. It covers small holes, gaps, cracks and openings effectively. To apply this insulation functional tools are required.
- It's always advisable to use high density insulation for exterior walls.
- One must consult a professional, whether to install attic vents or not.
- The attic insulation should be placed nearby light fixtures as that's the main source of heat loss. The framings exhaust fans, boundaries, chimneys, soffit vents, lighting fixtures, and pipes should be sealed outside of the attic.
- Read the manuals thoroughly, before installing the attic insulation. Follow all precautionary measures mentioned. Always hire experienced and specialized professionals for applying spray foam or cellulose attic insulations.
- If the insulation is lifted from any place then fix it properly or replace it immediately.
- One should not block soffit vents to ensure attic ventilation.
- All leaks should be repaired before starting the insulation procedure, to make the attic insulation work effectively.
- The attic trap and access door should be covered properly.

|Surprise Stadium / Kansas City Royals / Texas Rangers
|Concessions and More
|All Pages
It's a little off the beaten track, but Billy Parker Field at Surprise Stadium, the spring home of the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals, is a top-notch place to see a spring-training ballgame: The sightlines are gorgeous, the concourses are wide, and the ballpark design is striking.
Capacity: 10,714
Architect: Populous
Year Opened: 2003
Dimensions: 350L, 379LC, 400C, 379RC, 350R
Surface: Grass
Local Airport: Phoenix
Address/Directions: 15850 N. Bullard Av., Surprise. Surprise Stadium is located 1 1/2 miles west of the intersection of Bell Road and Grand Avenue (U.S. Route 60). Bullard Avenue is located off of Bell Road, 1 1/2 miles west of Grand Avenue, or 2 1/2 miles east of Loop 303.
Built for the Texas Rangers and the Kansas City Royals, Billy Parker Field at Surprise Stadium features two 37,000-square-foot clubhouses with locker rooms, team kitchens, weight and training facilities and administrative offices. In addition, each team has a practice infield and six full practice fields.
With the full Phoenix sun out for most games, you'll want to carefully choose where you sit. Both teams draw well in spring training, so a little planning is in order. But it is worthwhile, as Billy Parker Field is one of the most pleasant venues in the Cactus League.
The ballpark features a main seating bowl, a second level that features both seats and luxury boxes, and outfield berm seating, with a concourse ringing the ballpark. The best seats in the house are on the second level and within the middle seven or so sections of the main seating bowl: These are the seats that are shaded for the majority of the game.
The main level of seats extends all the way down each line. If the middle sections are sold out, you're better off sitting all the way down the line as opposed to a section facing the outfield, as the seats farthest down the line are angled to give you a direct view of the ballpark. Unlike most spring-training venues, there are cupholders at each seat, so you don't need to worry about some clumsy rowmate knocking over your $7 Dos Equis.
The design is modern and clean. It does have a little touch of the retro that's proven to be so popular in major-league parks like Oriole Park at Camden Yards, but not so much to distract you from your spring-training experience.
The Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers both begin their days early: They schedule workouts at 9 a.m. daily.
Billy Parker, by the way, was a former major leaguer who worked with youth baseball programs before his death in 2003. He played parts of three seasons with the California Angels and hit a game-winning homer in his first game.

Update: with more real-world testing under our belts, Seagate's Momentus XT is receiving our rare Best of Tom's award for excellent performance. This new hybrid hard drive combines up to 500GB of storage and 4GB of flash memory to maximize performance.
Article updated on May 26, 2010. For details, see bottom of this page.
The idea isn't particularly new: why not combine a non-volatile, high-speed silicon memory with rotating storage to marry the best of both worlds, meaning maximum speed and maximum storage capacity? Hybrid hard drives (H-HDDs) arrived in 2007, and they disappeared soon after because there was hardly any real benefit. Today, Seagate unveils a new type of hybrid that is similar to the initial H-HDD concept. However, the new Momentus XT does not rely on operating system support, and hence should be more versatile.
Momentus XT is a Hard Drive!
You can combine flash memory and a physical hard drive in one of two ways: either add rotating storage to flash memory or vice versa. Seagate did the latter, and placed 4GB of flash memory onto its Momentus 7200 2.5" hard drive design. Of course, the implication is that, in a worst-case scenario, this drive will behave and perform like a conventional hard drive. This isn't bad, but it's important to keep in mind as we move through the benchmarks.
The Solution?
Despite all of the advantages that exist in theory, H-HDDs were frankly a disappointment when they first emerged. Therefore, Seagate has to be given credit for launching a product into this still-undefined market space. On the one side there are flash SSDs, which deliver maximum performance at significant cost. And on the other side you can get 2.5" hard drives at up to 750GB, but these can't even come close to the performance experience you get with a flash-based SSD. For the folks in the middle, a hybrid type really appears to be the way to go.
Seagate made sure that the Momentus XT is suitable for seamlessly replacing an existing hard drive design. It looks and behaves like any other 2.5" hard drive (9.5 mm z-height), it requires similar power, and it has a SATA 3Gb/s interface. We also like that Seagate adds its five-year warranty on top, which we believe is important for a new product that still has to find its way. Let's get started.
Update: Our initial review provided all of the low-level and application test results. But because of a very short testing period, we could not include the real-world testing that would allow the Momentus XT to 'learn' and provide performance that is more similar to an SSD. We added these results to this article today, so check out the benchmark pages on PCMark Vantage (repeated), Windows Bootup, and Application Launch testing.

I think these hybrid drives need an all-new testing methodology that is neither like a hard drive (as you have classified it) nor a pure SSD, nor even simply the sum of the two tests.
You mentioned that performance *might* improve if the benchmarks were rerun. Could you re-run PCMark 3 times and see if the 3rd time is any faster than the first? The idea being that the first time is simply the hard drive, and hopefully by the 3rd (or 4th time), the data ends up in the flash.
Am I the only one that's not impressed in the least?
Im not. I would easily shell out the money for an 80GB ssd if it also included 500G of mechanical storage. 4G is nothing. Absolutely worthless for this. Give us something real and this will be nice.

0Onus , May 24, 2010 1:21 PMI absolutely agree with the conclusion. You look at this like a hard drive. In some things, it appears to outperform the competition, and the price is not unreasonable. For too many other things, it is no better, or even worse. I think it is promising, but as essentially "1.0" tech, it is a little underwhelming. Hopefully all it needs is a few minor tweaks.
-6nforce4max , May 24, 2010 1:23 PMSome what unimpressive but then again it does well enough for most uses. What they need to do is make drives with much larger caches instead of the meager sizes that are common place. 64mb cache on the high end drives is a joke ware 128mb or 256mb would make a difference ware unlike today ware much of the bandwidth is wasted before even hitting the cable. Internally typical hard drives have up to 500mbs before that is wasted by the controller due to cache misses and seek ques.
6Ciuy , May 24, 2010 1:24 PMFirst samples are always less impressive, but i bet this hybrid tech will be the future, atleast in a small part, of the HDD market. Ssd`s are to expensive with low cap. In 2-3 months there will be great hybrid hdds for sale.
-7cknobman , May 24, 2010 1:25 PMNot impressive at all but what more can you expect from Seagate afterall?
Truth is 4gb just isnt enough anymore. Although the performance numbers are ever so slightly better than current 7200 rpm hard drive the near 50 minute hit on battery life just kills the idea. Id be willing to take the battery life hit if the I/O's were higher and I could get read speeds around 140 mbs.
11ksa-_-jed , May 24, 2010 1:27 PMI think is better to wait for ssd price to go down
1sublifer , May 24, 2010 1:46 PMI agree, that was rather pathetic. I expected it to at least out-perform 3.5" hard drives (smaller platter + same speed 7200rpm should = faster access, reads and writes) instead we get a last gen 2.5" drive where they added 4GB flash as a buffer and poorly utilized at that, and call it a hybrid. The idea behind hybrids is to get the best of both contributors. In this case it should be capacity of hdd plus the speed of ssd. This thing wasn't anywhere near an ssd in performance and it was a sad misuse of the "hybrid" term.
Good review though guys. Very thorough. Its clear that Seagate needs to get back to the drawing board. Perhaps start with an ssd and work on adding hdd platter storage to it instead of trying to work in the other direction.
3matt_b , May 24, 2010 1:50 PMmavroxurAm I the only one that's not impressed in the least?
Definitely not. Just looking at the benches, the "WOW!" factor just isn't there. Price considerations, I'm not even sure if I'd buy one if there were no price differences with a conventional platter-only drive. Some things were marginal, but it also took some hits. In a notebook/laptop environment, power consumption is not the department you want to see one of those hits. If there is a future to this as the alternative to SSD only drives, then the technology is far from perfected with this as an example.....
3jrazor247 , May 24, 2010 2:19 PMIs this written for an alternate universe where HD tach or better benchmark utilities don't exist?
How bout graph of throughput and seek times over drive geometry?
More practical is if the effectiveness of their algorithm. I'd be satisfied with some junk adapter that just spans flash memory with disk space if you could ensure the OS partition is on the flash portion of geometry.
-4Pei-chen , May 24, 2010 2:20 PMConsider this is Seagate (famous for their rushed work); I'll wait for WD, Hitachi, Toshiba and even Samsung.
7aaruni123 , May 24, 2010 2:24 PMnah we still want cheap SSDs
9snotling , May 24, 2010 2:29 PMAnandtech.com has a different set of benchmarks his conclusion is that it has the performance level of A velociraptor.
-4shin0bi272 , May 24, 2010 2:55 PMShould have run at least 1 SSD in the tests. Because this drive reminds me of a toyota prius... mixing old tech with new tech and delivering a POS no one but a small niche market wants. Of course they will work on this and in 2 or 3 years have a 32gb or 64gb flash section and then we will have tests where their drive out performs a combination of a velociraptor and some other SSD in drive to drive transfer. Then people will start to consider buying one of these and they will make the biggest mistake of their lives. Listen, people, you want the SSD because its faster than pretty damned much any other drive type on the planet but they are expensive. Spending money on a drive that has less nand flash memory so you can get a regular hard drive in the same package is a marketing ploy to get you to buy this device when you really want an SSD. How many of us dont have at least 1 sata 3gb hard drive laying around thats around 320-500gb? Exactly... so what's the point in buying this drive if its half and half but the worst of both?
12Anonymous , May 24, 2010 3:06 PMis it me or was the benchmarking ill conceived for such a device, the speed boost will only occur once the darn thing learns from your habits, how many times were each benchmark run can we get some stats to see if on running the same benchmark a second time yields a speed boost, or maybe an nth number of times, how many times would an application need to be run before it gets cached, once cached how much better does it perform, how comes there wasn't a windows boot up time test? im pretty sure this drive would have been pre-optimized to cache windows system files
you can't just throw a bunch of random benchmark at this thing and expect it to perform other then a standard drive. Come on now we talking about THG here, your not suppose to miss this kind of stuff.....
4Anonymous , May 24, 2010 3:32 PMThe standard set of benchmarks used here doesn't really reflect normal usage where this drive is supposed to shine. Some common tasks like windows startup, application start and such done repeatedly until there is no improvement in loading times would have been nice.
3dgingeri , May 24, 2010 3:34 PMI have a suggestion on how they could turn this into a write cache as well as a read cache: separate logic and SLC flash storage specifically for writes. This could be half or same capacity as the read SLC cache. The writes get handed off to the drive logic for writing, enabling the OS to continue on, and the write cache continues on in the background.
This would also allow for higher data integrity and security. Encryption could also be done through this method.
It would drive the cost of the drive up a little, but it would still be cheaper than a SSD, and many things would perform almost as well.
Although, I doubt anyone at Seagate would read this...
1elel , May 24, 2010 3:44 PMI agree. I think you guys should give another chance and see how much repetition helps it out, especially in OS startup.
5rkhpedersen , May 24, 2010 4:32 PMMaybe the test, not the drive is flawed. According to Anandtec the drive outperforms the Velociraptor by a solid margin - meaning if you don't have the money for a SSD this is the best drive available.

A NoSQL Community Effort
I learned that bloggers are usually writing a celebrating post once they are reaching different milestones in the lifetime of their projects. They do tend to remind their accomplishements and share the bright plans for the future. As you probably already guessed, it is indeed a special moment for this NoSQL blog, as I've just published the 1000th post. But instead of sharing with you stats and graphics, or other such achievements, I thought I should use this opportunity to tell you about what I've failed to do. And what I hope to be able to accomplish together.
A NoSQL Reference
Over time I've shared with you that I don't believe in things like "learning programming in 24 hours" or "definitive guides to turning the world upside down in 5 simple steps". But, I do believe that having a "good enough" NoSQL reference would help not only NoSQL newbies, but everyone in the NoSQL community.
So, my kind request to you is to help me fill in the gaps on this NoSQL reference page. What I'd like to have for all products listed in there (and for those that I've missed) is a short, structured intro, covering the following points:
- project tagline: a short one-liner description of the project
- data model (k/v, document, column, graph, xml, object, etc.)
- distribution model (single server, master/slave, p2p replication, masterless cluster, etc.)
- persistence model (disk, memory, memory with snapshoting, etc.)
- client/network protocol(s)
- elasticity
- license
- implementation language/supported OS
- any other exciting features
While having this sort of NoSQL reference will be helpful, I think we should also have a….
Powered by NoSQL
The aim of the powered by NoSQL page is to provide as many references as possible to NoSQL case studies (successful or not!). It is essential for NoSQL adoption to start understanding the scenarios where NoSQL fits well and where it doesn't. And what other better way to have this sort of knowledge than learning from what others have already done. But please do remember that this NoSQL case study reference is not supposed to be just a list of customers, so links to case studies are required
That's what I've failed to accomplish alone. But I'm sure that together, as the NoSQL community getting these done will be much easier. And I'd like to thank you all in advance for helping me achieve these goals. Thank you NoSQL people!
- We will continue to list customers, but just as a way to "nag" them to share their case studies. (↩)

Jehovah's Witnesses Charles Taze Russell (1852-1916) founded the religious sect now known as the Jehovah's Witnesses in 1872. While at that time there was much support for a theory by one Nelson H. Barbour that called for the end of the world to occur in 1874, Russell didn't come to accept that chronology until Barbour convinced him——after the dreaded date had already come and gone——that Jesus had actually returned——invisibly——at the named date. Barbour was the one who had made the false prediction, and he tried to justify it with a "spiritual" fulfillment.
One of Russell's strange preoccupations was inventing correlations between historical events and the measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza. In common with Flinders Petrie and many other fans of Great Pyramid lore, Russell "discovered" hundreds of seeming links that he said showed the divine nature of the Pyramid as a history book and prophetic document which could only be properly understood by an adept.
His analysis, published in 1891, called for the resurrection of all mankind and the end of the world——again——to take place in 1914. Though there were some defections from the Jehovah's Witnesses sect when 1914 arrived and passed, the religion has survived and now prefers not to discuss their founder's odd Pyramid notions. Their most recent calculation called for the world to end in 1975.
As the millennium approached, the Witnesses were busily knocking on doors, trying to convince prospective converts that world conditions were getting worse and that obviously the End Time was approaching.

Beauty Closet Discovery: Cold Relievers
Written on January 19, 2012 at 9:56 am , by Fitness Magazine
Not a winter goes by that we don't find ourselves sniffling and sneezing, so we scoured the beauty closet for head-clearing solutions. Our first find: Burt's Bees Therapeutic Bath Crystals, bursting with eucalyptus oil. A steamy hot bath with these citrusy salts relieved our stuffy nose, but the aroma is concentrated, so sprinkle sparingly. Bonus: The eucalyptus will also help relax sore muscles.
After a soak in the tub, we slathered on our second discovery: C.O. Bigelow Lotion Mentholus NO. 002 , laced with skin-soothing oat extracts and scented with a bracing mix of peppermint and rosemary essential oils. Apply directly after your bath for the best results—the steam lingering in your bathroom will give you a final sinus-decongesting boost.
Tell us: What beauty products do you use to help relieve cold symptoms?

In this week's Staffer Beauty Snoop, super-chic Fashion Intern Cindy Park shares the products and tips that keep her looking polished on the go:
Describe your beauty style in three words or less: Consistent and simple
What are the three beauty products you cant live without?:Neutrogena Make-up Removing Wipes, C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve and the Clarisonic Mia.
What's your beauty routine in the morning?: I use my Clarisonic to cleanse, then sweep on Origins Purifying Tonic, apply Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Moisturizer and top it off with an Aveeno sunscreen.
Post-workout?: I wipe off sweat and grime with Shiseido Pureness Refreshing Cleansing Wipes.
What beauty product or treatment instantly makes you feel good?: Boscia Luminizing Black Mask: When the mask dries up and I peel it off, I feel like I'm taking off a layer of dull skin and am left with a cleaner, fresher face. I also love Bobbi Brown Creamy Lipcolor in Pale Plum. It gives me the perfect pop of color when I want to look more awake.
What's the best beauty tip you've ever received? Wear sunscreen every single day. You won't regret it!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love this invitation! The only change would be to make the text one size bigger. It's hard to see where the couple is registered."
"This is such a cute and fun invitation! I ordered this for my sisters shower and they were able to customize it exactly how I wanted it! They added details and were very quick to make changes as I asked!! The invitations arrived 3 days after I finalized my order- way ahead of the estimated arrival. WPD has great customer service and quality and I would definitely use this site again in the future. :)"
"I saw mixed reviews and hesitated before ordering. Glad I went through with it. The invite came out great, paper quality is good. The envelopes are a little bigger than the card but that's minor. The actual invite is what matters. It is just like the picture."
"I was very pleased with the ease of creating and ordering the cards. I wanted a bridal shower invite that was personalized for my Daughter and her fiancée. This design was perfect. I appreciated the quickness of the editing and the delivery of the cards. I have only great feedback about the invites from the guests that are responding to the shower. I highly recommend using Wedding Paper Divas."
"Was looking for a custom look for shower invitations; but didn't have a lot of time. This process was great, the selection was wonderful."

Huffington Post :: A video journalist covering the Syrian uprising for The Associated Press was wounded while filming clashes between rebels and the Syrian army. Ahmed Bahaddou, a Belgian citizen, was struck in the shoulder by a bullet during a firefight Friday in northern Syria and was evacuated Sunday to London. He was admitted to a hospital in stable condition, and the wound was not considered life threatening.

Brandon Phillips homered and made a spectacular rally-busting play -- using his left knee to get a forceout and start a double play -- as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 on Friday night.
Phillips had an RBI single off Yovani Gallardo (3-2) and added a solo homer in the seventh after making a saving play in the top of the inning. With two Brewers aboard, he got to Ryan Braun's grounder up the middle, tagged second base with his left knee while falling down and threw to first for a double play.
Milwaukee got solo homers from Jean Segura and Braun, but lost for the seventh time in eight games.
Alfredo Simon (3-1) threw two innings in relief of rookie left-hander Tony Cingrani.

If this rumor is true, it'll be the smartest thing Real Housewives of New Jersey's Teresa Giuidice has ever done. Radaronline is reporting that Tre is getting ready to divorce that ass-hat husband of hers, Joe Giudice, when the holiday season winds down. Apparently, she's sick of his name calling and cheating, which, you know, duh. If she wasn't offended by it, we'd have real problems.
Anyway, Teresa will reportedly keep on a happy face for Christmas and will dress her four daughters in the biggest red and green hair bows money can buy, then dump Joe come January. It's what the holidays are all about!
No, but seriously, leaving Joe would be the most intelligent thing Teresa's done to date. That man-child is so repulsive on the show, on which he knows he's being filmed for national TV, that I can't imagine what he's like behind closed doors.
Sidebar -- can anyone out there make a montage of Joe Giudice saying "who cares?" I'd really love to see that. End sidebar.
Plus, getting a divorce would do wonders for Teresa's "career." If appealing to any ounce of sanity left in her brain won't convince her to leave Joe, maybe money will. A divorce will give her an opportunity to sell more stories to tabloids, to get paid for posing for magazine covers. A divorce might even lend itself to a full-on book deal and, if she's lucky, maybe even a Bravo spin-off.
And if she's really enterprising, she could turn her split into a new cookbook: Fabalini Single Mom Cooking for Four Kidilistas! or, Cocktails for the Newly Divocilistas!
Bottom line, let's hope this divorce is going to happen. It would be such a wonderful Christmas miracle to hear that Teresa finally pulled the trigger.
Do you think Teresa should divorce Joe?
Photo via bravotv.com
Um lets see, I'm thinking, Well maybe, But then again. Oh who am I Kidding HELL YES
Divorce is never good. Whether or not you think she should get a divorce, you're not in the situation.
The divorce is going to hurt her kids for the rest of their lives. Living with their dad and watching him treat their mom like crap will also teach them that it's ok for a man to treat them that way too, so either way the kids are the ones who suffer. It's a sad situation any way you look at it. Personally I would rather teach my girls that a man needs to respect me and them and get counseling for the hurt that the divorce is going to cause....
that's all the comment that i have...other than, she needs to leave him! gag!
He deserves a kick to the curb and good riddens jerk! Those kids are better off without all that drama. I feel really bad for them, because children are the casualty .
Caroline called it.

Cap-Sleeve Slim Gown with Keyhole Back Style VW9768 181 183
Absolutely Perfect! I wore this amazing gown for my August 2012 wedding. I purchased the gown in white, and it is absolutely incredible. I couldn't have pictured a more perfect dress for me. I paid about $150 for alterations and they were done so wonderfully. The dress looked as if it was made for my body. I had a 5-point over bustle added, the dress taken in, and 2 cups added. This dress is definitely made for someone with a larger bust (I'm a 34B) but with the additional alterations the dress was perfect. I removed the beaded sash and added the satin sash in the color "Marine" to match my husband & the bridal party. This picture definitely doesn't do the dress justice. The lace is so delicate and the way the dress flows in unbeatable. I knew this was the dress for me the second I put it on. I got so many compliments. This dress is timeless. January 9, 2013
Such a comfortable gown When I started looking for a dress I knew I wanted a keyhole back and lots of lace. This is so perfect. I love the way it falls over my body even if I don't end up getting any alterations. I love the simplicity and the comfort of the dress. It's one that I won't feel as though it's falling down all night. I won't have to keep pulling it up and adjusting it, thus keeping my hands free and the dress clean. I can't wait to wear it down the isle and have my fiance see the stunning back! January 7, 2013
Beautiful affordable gown. My first trip to David's bridal was a really nice experience. This was the first dress I tried on. I absolutely loved it. My best friend told me that it was THE ONE! But my mom always said you can't buy the first dress you try on. So I tried on a few others and just ended up getting frustrated. A few months later I was visiting my dad in Texas and we went to David's bridal there and tried on other dresses and this was the last dress I tried on and we both fell in love. I am wearing a size 4. I am 5'6 135lbs. It fits perfectly. I don't have to make a single alteration. I will be using the full slip for my ceremony then taking it off to dance. It's a great price for a beautiful dress!! January 5, 2013
The One I tried on multiple dresses and went to check the racks for more then I found this I knew immediatly this was it then I put it on, I felt so comfortable in it like it was made just for me. December 29, 2012

Arizona State Sun Devils
Former Arizona State guard Eddie House becomes fifth Sun Devil to have jersey honored
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Before names like James Harden or Jahii Carson were ever uttered along East Veterans Way, it was another electric guard, Eddie House, whom Sun Devils fans packed Wells Fargo Arena to get a glimpse of.
While Arizona State failed to make the NCAA tournament during House's four years in Tempe -- the team combined to go 61-63 under three different coaches (Bill Frieder, Don Newman and Rob Evans) -- the former Sun Devil was more than worth the price of admission all by himself.
House, who went on to play 11 seasons in the NBA with nine different teams, left the program as the all-time leader in points (2,044) and steals (258). Not to mention, during his senior year (1999-2000), the native of Union City, Calif. became the first player in program history to be named Pac-10 Player of the Year -- an award that was highlighted by his conference-record-tying 61-point effort against California on Jan. 8, 2000.
Yet, outside of a portrait of House adorning the entrance to Section K1, there are very few remnants of the sharpshooter's accomplished collegiate career around his former stomping grounds.
But that all changed Saturday night, as the two-time All-Pac-10 first teamer had his No. 5 jersey honored at halftime of the Sun Devils' 72-51 win over the Colorado Buffaloes.
Amid chants of "Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!," House's jersey was unfurled up in the rafters alongside those belonging to Byron Scott, Fat Lever, Joe Caldwell and Lionel Hollins.
While House didn't speak during the brief ceremony, Arizona State head coach Herb Sendek praised the program for honoring the former guard 14 years removed from his illustrious Sun Devil career.
"It was a memorable day honoring Eddie House," Sendek said. "I think it's one of the best things we've done in recent times."
ASU also plans to honor center Alton Lister's No. 53 jersey later this season during a Feb. 8 home game against Oregon.

Were China and Russia justified in vetoing the UN resolution for Syria?
Given the media blackout surrounding Syria and the dubious fatality statistics, is it fair to suggest that the proposed resolution was rushed/ambiguous and left open possibilities for military intervention? Could it be argued that the USA should have been more prepared to negotiate the terms of the resolution? By vetoing the resolution, have China and Russia contributed to the continued bloodshed, or would the implementation of the resolution only have led to further deaths?
At this time, is Western intervention in Syria appropriate, given the current climate of Civil War?
Does intervention question the sovereignty of Syrian Government?
Is the US using Syria as a platform for an attack/action against Iran?
To what extent would you agree that sanctions proposed by the resolution should not have concentrated solely on e Bashar al-Assad's government, but rather look at calming both the militia and armed rebels groups?
To what extent would you agree that the USA government is hiding its true intentions behind the guise of "Human Rights"?
Is it fair to draw parallels between Syria and Libya?

Power and autonomy of Asaib Ahl al-Haq and other Shiite militias in fight to defeat Islamic State in Iraq and Syria pose central challenge to creation of a more just and less sectarian Iraqi government; while many Iraqi Shiites view militias as their protectors, many in Sunni minority say they fear groups as agents of Iran, empowered by Iraqi government to kill with impunity.

Sep. 17, 2014
Editorial contends Gen Martin Dempsey's comments about possibility of sending American troops to fight Islamic State militants is a reversal of firm commitment Pres Obama made not to immerse country in ground war; maintains alarming uncertainty Dempsey has injected into evolving military strategy makes it even more important that Congress debate and vote on new mission in Iraq and Syria. MORE

MORE
Sep. 14, 2014
Sec of State John Kerry receives broad assurances but no public commitments from Egypt as he continues his tour of the Middle East to try to assemble a coalition behind American campaign against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria; Obama administration seeks to enlist support from regional powers with Sunni Muslim majorities to avoid impression that United States is intervening in a sectarian war on behalf of the Shiite-dominated Iraqi government.. MORE
Sep. 14, 2014
Thomas L Friedman Op-Ed column argues that Pres Obama's offensive against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria can only succeed if unreliable regional partners become serious about achieving compromise and stability in the Middle East; contends that ISIS is a natural consequence of civil wars in Iraq and Syria, and that no lasting peace will come until these crises are resolved. MORE
Sep. 13, 2014
Rapid surge of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, and its ability to draw fighters from across the globe, have set off alarm bells in capitals worldwide; countries that rarely see eye to eye are now trying to blunt its recruitment drive, passing a raft of new rules that they hope will stop their citizens from joining extremist groups abroad; United States is pushing for a legally binding United Nations Security Council resolution.

MORE
Sep. 11, 2014
New analysis; Pres Obama's ordering of sustained military campaign against Islamic extremists in Syria and Iraq effectively sets a new course for the remainder of his presidency; likely ensures that he will pass his successor a volatile and incomplete war, much as his predecessor George W Bush left for him; new phase against ISIS will not involve many American troops on the ground, but it continues to keep the United States at war. MORE
Sep. 11, 2014
Iraqi army's indiscriminate shelling of Sunni areas, even though many Sunnis do not support militant group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, is only adding to sectarian strife and feeling of many Sunnis that Iraq's Shiite-led government poses the greater threat; overcoming that mistrust is a fundamental challenge facing the new Iraqi government. MORE
Sep. 11, 2014
Obama administration says it would welcome approval from Congress to expand military action against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, but it does not need it to move forward because such action is covered by existing authorization to use military force against the perpetrators of Sept 11, 2001, terrorist attacks--that is, Al Qaeda. MORE

Chronic mucocutaneous candidosis
Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis (CMC) includes a group of rare disorders with altered immune responses, selective against Candida, characterised by persistent and/or recurrent infections of skin, nails and mucous membranes, caused by organisms of the genus Candida, mainly C. Albicans. An extended Italian family with infantile onset of manifestations restricted to hand and foot nails, associated with low ICAM-1 serum concentrations has been described. The patients presented nail dystrophy with hyperkeratosis and dark and thick nails, involving all the nails of hands and feet. The patients were infected by different kinds of the genus Candida, pointing to inhability of the immune system to respond to the antigenic stimulus specific against Candida. The pedigree suggested an autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance. The CMC locus was assigned to the pericentromeric region of chromosome 11p12-q12.1. The CMC diagnosis is currently performed through the microbiological analysis of nail specimens obtained by cutting and scarifing the lesional sites; exclusion of coexisting endocrine or autoimmune disorders; ICAM-1 low serum levels. Treatment with topic and systemic antimycotic drugs results in temporary recovery, but is unable to reach complete remission. Promishing results were obtained with Amphotericine B.

The fiber type, dye, construction and finishes determine these characteristics. Our UPF-rated garments offer very good UV protection from prolonged exposure to the sun.
