Funktionide by Stefan Ulrich
This post will make some of you say, wha!? For others, awe. German designer Stefan Ulrich created a shape-changing object, not a pillow, using artificial muscle technology. The concept? To help relieve loneliness...awe.
Okay, it took a few reads to understand this. In extreme layman's terms, the Funktionide changes shape and texture when an electric current is passed through it, creating movement. Are you following me? The Funktionide simulates a living, breathing being.
Seems futuristic for sure, but part of me wants to snuggle up with the Funktionide. And maybe make it dinner.
No word on pricing as it's still in conceptual stages. Watch a video of how the object simulates breathing here.

Seems like a pet would be cheaper and better at relieving loneliness, seeing as it is an actual living, breathing companion that you don't need to run an electrical current into. I guess if you don't like animals or real people this might be the product for you?
even with the shape shifter that guys still looks sad.
This seemed like a cool idea till I saw the creepy ass video.
They will need to revamp their marketing of this product. More comforting, less frightening.
gross gross gross gross
wait you said "relive" loneliness; can I assume you meant "relieve"?
There's something a little creepy about this to me. It's a giant pulsating blob! It sort of makes me think of a bad science fiction movie. However, I guess it's not too different in concept from those stuffed animals with a simulated heartbeat that people sometimes give to puppies to ease the transition to their new home.
I see we are one step closer to sex robots.
okaayyy--can understand the need for interaction but as littlebrownbird writes, why not a pet? this seems to be an exercise in narcissism at its highest level. the fact that the person is also writing a research project about & filming his experience (objectifying himself to the nth degree!) places this whole experience firmly in the realm of the creepy & slightly repugnant. on the plus side, i really like this guy's minimalist space. maybe this whole thing is a joke? if so, seems to be too contrived & not that funny.
Actually, I said "relieving" and that is what I meant. :)
I think it's more conceptual art than actual product! I don't expect to see it on late night TV any time soon.
ok...i'm simultaneously creeped out and interested.
Okay, that's absolutely terrifying. The part where it slithers into bed? Holy crap, going to have nightmares about blob monsters coming to eat me now!
They should attach a fleece blanket to it and call it the snugtionide.
Why is Depressed-Dude humping a blind and finless Beluga Whale -
- does Greenpeace know about this?
"Why is Depressed-Dude humping a blind and finless Beluga Whale -
- does Greenpeace know about this?"
holy shit that was funny.
I want a room full of those!
hummm.... that could be a far better performance piece than most of the stuff at SFMoMa.
Uhm... that video is creepy... the way it crawls into bed with him. And the bad photoshop to simulate movement.
Ok. Just looking at the pictures, it looks like a soft cloud and I kinda really want to snuggle with it.
But then I watched the video, and I am so creeped out. The whole the with it climbing in bed and him petting it. Um no.
It is a provocative idea, especially in its relation to human loneliness.
In the pictures, it reminds me of a futuristic, body pillow type of thing. The idea of loneliness is so pervasive in the pics.
Now off to watch the video to see if those funny comments live up my expectations!...
uuuummm, I'm glad that I wasn't the only one creeped out by the video. I like the unusual and weird but this is just a little disturbing if you ask me.
LOVE IT... the couch, I mean.
Why is he sleeping in the crack between 2 twin mattresses? Yeah the blob creeping into bed is pretty disturbing. This guy is definitely serial killer material.
It's a giant, expressionless bean. Weird.
This isn't a prototype or product - it's a theory, really, about where we seem to be headed. And anyone who has ever been in a room with someone who prefers their Blackberry to actual people knows that in some ways, we are already there. The white blob is merely a device to communicate the idea. It is in no way a suggested product.
When I read the little introduction, what I pictured was not the white blob moving pillow. It was shelves of moisturizer and shaving cream, dish soap and laundry detergent all gyrating, moving, slinking, beckoning to be purchased. Like puppies in a pet shop begging to be taken home.
Seriously genius.
shiver. that video is like what i imagine robot porn to be.
He's cute... I'll cuddle with him. Just get rid of that CREEPY, CREEPY THING!
Lemme think about that... I don't know if I could get into someone who would create that monstrosity. Hmmmm, have some things to think about...
it's a schmoo!!!!
I love everyone's comments and take on this. One of my favorite post!
LoriSF, that was funny! Ewww!
"It creeps and leaps and slides and glides across the floor."
I loved The Blob, but never wanted to sleep with it.
uhhhh, I'm with Kate (NC). It's cool and all, but I wouldn't want to spoon with it. And I feel sorry for the guy in the video; he needs antidepressants, or a girlfriend. Come to think of it, this reminds me of some antidepressant medication commercial I've seen on television.
ps- my boyfriend just watched the vid, and asked "but where are the holes?"
... and I'm thinking that feature will be available on the Breathing Body Pillow 2.0
I'm sorry but this looks like a huge, flaccid, throbbing d**k. Anyone that's been there (i know there are quite a few of us on this blog) knows it's pointless and boring.
Not even as conceptual art... this guy needs help...
Bob looks like a comfy body or floor pillow. Id prefer not to have one that breathes, though.
The couch, however, is excellent- more info?

Crysis is again subject to special treatment; on one hand it's the only one on which we have to lower resolutions and graphical settings one step (and despite all that, the averages noted are the lowest among all the games) and on the other hand it requires us to use a special driver for NVIDIA (169.05) in order to erase a curious SLI bug favoring standalone GeForces and on which the manufacturer communicates as little as possible. It's regrettable!
Despite all this, the situation doesn't really change at top of the chart, with performances behind by 16% for the HD 3870 compared to the 8800 GT, filters disabled, and around 21% once antialiasing is activated, except in 1920 x 1440. The HD 3850 is only behind the 8800 GTS 320 MB by no more than 4 to 6% on the two lowest resolutions, and the gap doesn't go beyond 15% in 1920 x 1440, a mode that's completely unplayable on those two cards anyway. Thumbs up for the HD 3850 in this case!

I would like to congratulate the environmental and green movement of frauds for giving Exxon a Green Safety Award!
Yes! Just like the dirtiest oil company in the world, B.P., owns nearly the entire "green" & alternative energy movement or at least they did before they sold the largest wind farm in the U.S. just 24 hours ago, Exxon is also a mover & shaker of the "clean energy" & "green" movement.
So, now that Exxon has an oil disaster on their hands in Arkansas, with the eruption and toxic oil-tar sands chemical lava flow on Arkansas Streets, along with the chemical leak, that created a faul odor through out the dump city of New Orleans yesterday, I guess that someone thought that Exxon deserved a safety award in Texas.
What I love about Houston Texas is that one doesn't just see the oil corporations all gathered in one place but their sub-affiliate environmental groups and CEO Heads of this "green & clean" energy movement are usually on the pay roll of Big Oil. Keep in mind, that it was B.P. that came up with that silly Carbon Climate Change Tax & help script the even more sillier narrative of Climate Change.
I would also like to Congratulate Chevron Oil for their new contracts in the U.S. and for holding a series of job fairs for hiring, with the very first hiring fair being held in...CANADA! Emm Hmmm. Pollute & destroy America but hire foreign workers! That's about how things work now a days in the U.S. & Oil Industry.

Mini D&D books
They were made by WotC and some Italian game company.
The info I have, from the box, is 21st Century Games, S.r.l. and they are located in Italy. I cna't find anything about them. Every so often you see them on Ebay and generally not too expensive.
They are small and really hard to read, but I really like them.
The three boxed sets I own. There was a Dragonlance one and a Realms one, but I did not get those. I think my FLGS still has the Realms one.
It is blury, but you can see the sets are complete, minus dice and the "Gateway to Adventure" catalog.
For an idea of scale here are my two Expert Sets.
And the expert books.
Even the backs are detailed. Even though they were made by (or at least for) WotC, all the info is TSR.
The Greyhawk boxed set is the coolest since the maps are portable.
Here are the books I got. I have heard there were more, but I have never been able to confirm that.
Compared to their "big brothers".
Anyone else have these?

These are indeed cool. I have the Basic Set, Expert Set, and four of the books.
I watch eBay for these things. I very rareley see the Players Handbook, Dungeon Masters Guide or Monster Manual.
If anyone knows where they may be available please let me know. It's difficult to search for them on the internet. As far as I know they don't have an ISBN and any search I try mixes them in with the regular sized editions.

I love my Focus, it is great on gas (when I keep my foot out of it.) For haveing the body kit and being kinda low it does fairly well in the snow/ heavy rain. It is great for long trips.
I wish it wasn't goverened to 120mph
Love At First Gear Drop. — This car runs stong, I can beat the crap out of it and it just keep wanting more. I have it in the shop every couple weeks just to do the normal tune ups but other than that nothing majoy. It has 116,000 miles on it but it drives like it is brand new. I couldn't have asked for a more cost effective fun car to drive.

Performance and looks
Costly on fuel
Awesome Performance Hot Hatch — Great build quality, awesome performance and handling, this car has 225bhp and just accelerates with ease, value for money as BMW's and Audi's in the same bracket would be 5k more. Fuel is quite poor, but what do you expect for 5 cylinder 2.5 litre turbocharged lump. Interior is very stylish with front Recaro seats, Bluetooth stereo with ipod connection and keyless entry. Overall a very nice car to drive and own, go out and buy 1, you will not be dissapointed.

Generally a great car to have.
The seats are quite firm.
Understated Car — Solidly built Ford. Thick sheetmetal and very reliable car. It has a german-Ford feel. For long travels, it can be uncomfortable due to the firm seats. Nice scratch resistant dashboard although the plastics feel abit cheap. The suspension is also very good. Fuel economy is great at around 8kms/liter

A Good Work Car For Those Who Travel A Lot For Work. — Not a bad car. I would suggest an automatic if I were to own another. The manual transmission was fun to drive though. Had a couple of setbacks while I owned this car, but they were covered by warranty. Not a great car in the snow, it gets stuck easily.

Kidd gets probation for DWI charge
Southampton, NY (Sports Network) - Brooklyn Nets head coach Jason Kidd pleaded guilty Tuesday to a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated following an arrest in Long Island last July.
According to Newsday, Kidd received interim probation from judge Andrea Schiavoni at Southampton Criminal Justice Court. The recently retired guard will also have to perform a pair of speaking engagements to local high school students on the dangers of driving drunk as part of the agreement.
The Suffolk County district attorney's office stated that Kidd must complete his sentence prior to a return date at court scheduled for Sept. 30. As long his requirements are satisfied, the 40-year-old's DWI conviction will be reduced to a lesser charge of driving while impaired.
Kidd still does face the possibility of beginning his coaching career with a brief suspension for the arrest, which occurred in the early morning hours of July 15, 2012 after he crashed his 2010 Cadillac Escalade into a light pole in the Long Island suburb. The 10-time All-Star, who had just signed with the New York Knicks, was transported to Southampton Hospital to treat minor injuries.
Several reports verified that Kidd had been partying heavily at an area club on the night of the crash and had to be helped out of the establishment prior to him getting into his vehicle.
Kidd announced his retirement after a decorated 19-year NBA playing career in June and was named the Nets' new head coach later that month, replacing the fired P.J. Carlesimo.

Trying To Run Clock
There was a great deal of focus on the Cowboys final drive with 1:24 on the clock, but the one that I would like to break down was the previous one with 3:27 left in the game.
The Cowboys are in a three point game with the ball on their own 19 yard line and the Lions holding three time outs. Bill Callahan sends "11" personnel on the field with
At the snap, Bryant attacks Rashean Mathis off the line, then drives hard to the inside. Harris reads the slant and begins to drive on the ball. He is on top of Bryant before the ball even arrives. In the pocket, as Romo was delivering the ball, there is an outstanding blitz pickup by
Callahan sticks with his "11" personnel this time flipping Bryant and Williams but keeping Harris in the slot for his blocking. The Lions counter with six in the box with Louis Delmas coming down late. Romo in the shot gun with Randle to his left takes the snap and on the delay, hands the ball to Randle as
Now facing a 2nd – 13 and the clock running with 3:06 left in the game, Callahan stays with his "11" personnel, this time he brings Harris down in motion inside from the slot. Randle is lined up to the right of Romo as he takes the snap. The Lions have seven in the box. Callahan once again goes with the delay, pulling Bernadeau from right to left. On the front side, Witten is able to turn Taylor out, Leary and Smith double Fairley at the point and Bernadeau pulls around to take Levy. Where the play breaks down, is that Smith is late getting off the block and Stephen Tulloch meets Randle in the hole for a gain of one. The Lions use their first time out of the half to stop the clock at 2:38.
3rd – 12, Callahan tries to spread the Lions by moving Witten in a flex position on the right side. Callahan also puts
If you are committed to running the ball after the pass interference call against Bryant, then you should have been committed to running the ball on 3rd down and trying to make the Lions use their timeouts or bleed those 24 seconds off the clock until the two minute warning. The Cowboys defense came up with a huge stop on 4th down that gave them the ball back with 1:24 left in the game. In three plays, the Cowboys were only able to knock 22 seconds off the clock, giving the Lions a full minute to work with which was all they needed to win the game.
Bryant's Big Play
The Cowboys started the drive in outstanding field position once again thanks to the return skills of Dwayne Harris. With the ball sitting on the 50 yard line after a two yard Joseph Randle run, and the Cowboys facing a 2nd– 8, Callahan puts his "02" package on the field, which allows them to have an empty backfield. Hanna is lined up as the inline "Y" to the right side with Beasley in the slot and Williams all the way to the outside right. On the left side, is Witten in the slot and Bryant outside of him.
At the snap, Romo turns his attention to the three receiver side as the routes begin to develop. Seeing that he has no options with Hanna, Beasley or Williams, his eyes go back to the left side of the field. Witten runs a route to the outside behind Bryant who is heading up the field. The Lions are in a zone coverage as Witten gets near the sideline but Bryant is in between Mathis and Delmas also heading to the sideline. Romo who has outstanding time in the pocket, is able to make the throw to Bryant with Mathis and Delmas trying to drive on him.
Mathis dives and is inches away from the ball as Bryant reaches behind him and was able to adjust to the ball off his left shoulder. Delmas also dives as Bryant secures the ball and is able to spin back to the outside, keeping his balance by planting his left foot, then exploding up the field. Bryant heads up the sideline keeping the ball in his left hand as DeAndre Levy is reaching to try and stop him at the goal line but Bryant is able to sneak in just inside the pylon for the 50 yard touchdown from Romo to put the Cowboys up 27-17 in the 4th quarter.
There were not many opportunities for Dez Bryant, who had his share of mixed coverages throughout the day but when the protection was able to hold up, there were chances to make plays against this defense and this was one where he made them pay.

On top of Rick's sound advice, I'd look at a heavier rod instead of one of the lite weight ones. A heavier rod is easier to learn with.
Got any ponds around ya? If so, get some top water cork popping bugs and have a blast! Pan fish and bass flat love 'em and can provide hours of fun. You'll get your casting down pat and relearn how to set the hook, all at one fail swoop.
WallyWorld, BassPro, Cabelas and Dicks Sporting goods all offer entry level kits. Most of the kits will be under $75.
Rick, I wished someone had explained the felt bottoms to me a while back. Them freakin neopreme duck hunting waders ain't worth a dang on moss covered snotrocks. Glad I had the chest belt tightened...
He took me!
Thanks Dad.
Wish you were here.

The project, led by the Bowes Railway Company, will transform the Bowes Railway in Sunderland into a top visitor attraction and training hub for the area. Focussing on the Springwell Colliery complex of the Bowes Railway, a Scheduled Ancient Monument, a series of vital improvements will be made to the site alongside the introduction of much-needed learning and training opportunities for local people.
Ivor Crowther, Head of the Heritage Lottery Fund North East, said: "The Bowes Railway played a central role in the industrial history of the area creating jobs and economic prosperity at the time. The Heritage Lottery Fund is delighted to support this project as it will bring people together to record, share and conserve this important part of the North East railway heritage. Creating a heritage training hub on-site will help local people and visitors alike gain valuable new skills and ensure everyone can play a part in the railway's future."
Graham Hall, Vice Chairman of the Bowes Railway Company, commented: "This HLF grant is pivotal in maximising the use of the site and making it an even more attractive venue for visitors. Our proposed new museum activities along with outreach and educational work will be a priority. This grant leads the way in setting the bench mark for our other projects with our partners, Sunderland Council, Gateshead Council, TWBPT, NECT, and English Heritage. These projects include the renovation of the Wagon Shop and the Blackfell Hauler House. We are looking forward to starting the HLF funded project that will have far-reaching benefits for all."
Sharon Hodgson MP, said: "I am thrilled that the Heritage Lottery Fund has decided to invest in Sunderland by awarding a grant to Bowes Railway in Springwell Village. This is an enormous opportunity to bring tourism to our area, as well as giving important skills and learning experiences to all those interested in promoting the railway's past and in the development of its future".
A full-time Engineering Training Manager will be brought on board to implement a wide-ranging heritage training programme and a Learning Officer will deliver a learning and events programme which will include an oral history project, industrial heritage trail and a touring exhibition.
Important restoration works can now also get underway such as repairs to the 1904 Brakeman's Cabin and Bait hut, returning them to key features of the site and creating a viewing platform for visitors. A small length of spur rail track will also be restored and will return this integral piece of track to working condition for passenger rides.
The site is kept alive by a group of passionate and dedicated volunteers and HLF's grant will help to maintain and grow that base. A new volunteer strategy will ensure that volunteers are trained to support the railway's activities including, engineering maintenance, event management and guided tours.
Attributed to a design by acclaimed engineer, Robert Stephenson, Bowes Railway was constructed in 1825 to transport coal from the North Durham Coalfield to ships moored on the Tyne. The Springwell Colliery complex comprises 18th and 19th-century buildings that date back to the sinking of the pit and the development of the railway. It was turned into a museum in 1975.
If you are an interested organisation or volunteer who would like to be involved with these exciting projects, contact Graham Hall on 07711 184 444.

The Benefits of Blogging
How can you connect with your client base today? You can blog with them. A blog is your brick and mortar storefront; it's the next best thing to being there.
Blogging gives business owners the unique advantage of real time dialogue with their current and potential clients. Just as you log onto MLB.com and vent your frustrations about a blown call or squandered trade opportunities, bloggers can voice their opinion directly to the people that are involved in something they are passionate about.
For your company, a blog is a literal porthole into the consciousness of the goods and services buying public.
SO…what are the benefits of adding a blog to your website? There are at least 10 of them:
- You are creating a community – your blog can speak directly to interested parties and you can get as topical and granular as you want/need to.
- Once you establish the blog you can actively solicit comments in your blog posts and ask your readers what they think. Their comments will spur those of others and you'll create a conversation.
- You can keep the conversation going; if someone takes the time to comment, make sure to get back to them via the blog so everyone else knows what you guys are talking about.
- Try not to use your blog as a podium or a soapbox…stick to the key issues about your company and industry; unless you're selling politics or religion, you may want to steer clear and keep the focus where you need it.
- Neither your website nor your blog or anything written or video recorded should be all about you. You get one page on your website: About Us, that's it. It's more important that you post content that your target audience will find useful and informative.
- It is not worth establishing a blog if you are going to neglect it. It needs to be maintained with a steady stream of fresh and compelling content. Post to your blog at LEAST once a month, weekly or daily is actually even better…
- You can use your blog as a showcase for interesting projects that have either universal appeal or highlight a new trend in your industry; a blog is definitely the place to post case studies and featured projects.
- Encourage visitors to come back to check for updates or do a three-part series.
- You can re-purpose the content…take the month's best blog posts and incorporate them into a monthly email newsletter so you can share the great info with your offline readers.
- The more effective the content you post, the more opportunities you'll have to get your website ranked better by the almighty search engines. Need I say more? What do you guys think? Any blog success stories?

FRIDAY, Feb. 25 (HealthDay News) -- Stress and tension don't
decrease the success of a woman's fertility treatment, a new study
British researchers analyzed data from 14 studies that included
a total of 3,583 women who had undergone fertility treatment and
been assessed for anxiety and stress before they began their
Their comparison of women who became pregnant and those who did
not found no association between emotional distress and the
likelihood of becoming pregnant.
"These findings should reassure women that emotional distress caused by fertility problems or other life events co-occurring with treatment will not compromise their chance of becoming pregnant," Jacky Boivin, a professor in the School of Psychology at Cardiff University in Wales, said in a news release from BMJ. The journal published the findings online Feb. 24.
Health experts say that about 15 percent of couples are
infertile. Many women believe that emotional distress can reduce
their chances of becoming pregnant naturally or having success with
fertility treatments, but the researchers say that's a mistaken
idea based on anecdotal evidence and myths.

I don't think enough ME fans realise just how much Vega loves Shepard. He worships Shepard.
- In Paragon Lost he nearly pees his pants just hearing Shepard's name.
- He wears a "Normandy Forever" pin on his uniform.
- In his rousing speeches he always uses Shepard as inspiration. He even quotes Shepard directly.
- His team mock him all the time for acting like a schoolboy crushing on Shepard.
- At one point he heard Liara say that she personally worked with the Commander, and he literally shoved his love-interest out of the way to hear more.
- When he's inconsolable because of tragic events, he actually snaps out of it at hearing that Shepard has been brought back to life.
- In the official comic he's intent on quitting the Alliance for good. The only thing that changes his mind is Anderson offering him the assignment to guard Shepard.
Thing is, James is almost 10 years Shepard's junior. He must have been a kid when the Commander was out winning wars. Whether your Shepard is male or female, whether they survived Mindoir, endured Akuze, triumphed at Torfan, or held the line at Elysium, James Vega knows all about their career and holds them up as the ultimate example of a hero. All he wants is to be like Commander Shepard.
Wrex to the rescue.
The first time I saw this scene I thought Shepard was simply getting Kaidan out of the way (4th gif), which I thought was a little odd considering he was the only one of the two wearing armour. Now I realise she's protecting herself by using him as a human shield.

text: A while ago, I had a 'muscle hemming' lip lift, which although successful, caused much scarring and an elevated nose tip. My lip length was so severe that I didn't initially mind, but I've since had a lip fat transfer, which I regret. I lately found an excellent surgeon to make my tip slightly longer again and remove some lip fat. My main worry is would a rhino make my lip droop again? If so, could a very conservative (1mm) bullhorn 'touch up' be performed during or afterwards to stabilize it?

The Vancouver Canucks' young players and top prospects are getting quality attention now that they are the only ones from the team playing organized hockey. On September 14, the Vancouver Canucks sent 23 players to the Chicago Wolves, their affiliate AHL team; four of these players played in the NHL last season. Among the 23 players were Chris Tanev, Zack Kassian and Eddie Lack, three players who are bound to make a splash in the Canucks' future.
This decision has been one of the Canucks' management's best. As no one is sure of the outcome of the rest of the NHL season, the team is dedicated to improving their young and up-and-coming players. Sending these players to play with Chicago is good for their development, as they will remain conditioned and will be more ready to play in the NHL when the time comes then if the season started today.
"It's obvious that if we play again at the NHL level, that all our players are operating at peak efficiency as soon as possible," Assistant General Manager Laurence Gilman told canucks.com. "The fact that these players are in a unique situation where they're able to play and hone their games at a very high level, obviously it works to the benefit of our team."
Tanev, the cool, calm and collected defenseman, has a very high chance of consistently breaking into the Canucks' lineup when the season resumes. Sami Salo and Aaron Rome are both gone, and while the top four defensemen have been established, Tanev could beat Andrew Alberts or Keith Ballard to a spot on the roster.
Signed as an undrafted free agent on May 31, 2010, Tanev played 25 games for the Canucks last season, with two assists and a plus-10 rating. The Canucks showed their faith in him when he played for them in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, which he states to be his favourite hockey moment.
Kassian is the opposite of Tanev. A rough and rugged forward whose big body has proven to be more prominent than his scoring ability, Kassian was part of the Cody Hodgson trade with Buffalo. He played 17 games for the Canucks last season in which he had one goal, three points and 31 penalty minutes. Canucks' management really want to develop Kassian into a key player, but he has yet to show that he has the qualities needed to remain part of the team's core for several years.
As for Lack, as soon as Roberto Luongo moves on, he will virtually be guaranteed a job as the Canucks' backup goaltender. The 24 year old Swede has not yet played a regular season NHL game, but after two season with the Canucks' farm team, looks ready to give it a shot.
"He's 6-foot-5, can play deep in the net because of his size, and has great reflexes. There are some games when you're watching you're just like, they're not scoring on him," Dave Gagner told NHL.com. "He has that Pekka Rinne-like confidence that he brings to the team."
The Wolves started their nine day training camp on September 28, and open their 19th season on October 13 against the Rockford IceHogs. The addition of Tanev and Kassian and the assurance of having Lack for at least a little while longer is beneficial for the Wolves. And while the Canucks may not be in the best situation, they are looking at the positives of having these players continue to play in the AHL.
"The silver lining of our present situation is that we have the time to go watch and participate in Chicago Wolves training camp," said Gilman. "And depending upon how long we aren't playing at the NHL level, the ability to go scout games and spend some meaningful time with them."

Dr. Lissa RankinFew woman actually look forward to their annual OB/GYN appointment. Nothing against the doctors, it's just often uncomfortable and can be embarrassing. Unfortunately, too many women let embarrassment keep them from sharing important information that their doctors need to know.
Dr. Lissa Rankin, an OB/GYN, author, and founder of OwningPink.com, says too many women want their doctor to like them and not judge them, so they omit important details about their lives.
"It's all part of owning your health," Rankin says. "Face it. Deal with it. Accept that it's true or accept that you wish to change something. Ask for help if you need it. But don't lie to your doctor. We're here to help. I swear!"
Here are eight issues she says women are frequently reluctant to reveal and why they should:
1. You're cheating on your partner. Why you need to spill: To check for sexually transmitted diseases.
2. You've had an abortion. Why you need to spill: Scar tissue could be preventing future pregnancies.
3. You drink too much, use illegal drugs, or are hooked on prescription medications. Why you need to spill: Even moderate use can up your risk of some cancers and other health problems.
4. You have sexual preferences you may wish to keep secret. Why you need to spill: To help your doctor address your specific issues (e.g., if you prefer anal sex, bowel problems could be an issue).
5. You're having problems in the bedroom. Why you need to spill: Your doctor could help solve them!
6. You're pregnant and you're not sure whose baby it is. Why you need to spill: Knowing the blood type of both the father and the mother can prevent a mother from having to take certain medications.
7. You're leaking urine. Why you need to spill: It's not just a natural part of aging; there are solutions that may help you.
8. You're not taking your medication. Why you need to spill: So you can get the proper diagnosis and treatment you need.
What are you embarrassed to share with your doctor?

Do any of you know.....if you have a miscarriage is there scar tissue? Do you have to get your walls scraped if you want to get pregnant again?
I have never heard of your walls getting scraped. I would ask you ob about that.
NOTHING.....I know it's best (for me & my health) to be honest with all my doctors!
