© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
From the Editors
The editors and staffs of the Jackson Progress-Argus, Henry Daily Herald and Clayton News Daily knew there were plenty of people out there in the communities the newspapers serve, who give of themselves selflessly, day in and day out, with little or no recognition for the good they do.
But the three people who are "winners" of our Unsung Heroes designation are truly super-volunteers, who go above and beyond even what many of us here had imagined.
And none of them does what he does for recognition or accolades. They do it because it needs doing, and that's the kind of people they are: They fill needs, help others, get a little rest, then get up and do it all again the next day.
Our communities are unquestionably better because of each of them.
Two of our three Unsung Heroes are from Henry County -- one lives in McDonough and the other in Locust Grove. The third is from Clayton County. He lives in Riverdale. But the scope of their generosity and dedicated service is not confined to the neighborhoods where they live.
Our top "winner" is Bob Langley, of Locust Grove, who was nominated by Lisa Cockerham, of the American Cancer Society. Langley, she said, "has been a Road to Recovery Driver for the American Cancer Society for over 16 years ... arranging rides and driving cancer patients, to and from, their radiation and chemotherapy appointments.
"Bob spends between 9 and 12 hours a day going between doctors' offices in his vehicle. Mr. Langley is a volunteer and his time, gas and the use of his vehicle, are a donation from him to the American cancer Society. Mr. Langley spends a lot of his personal money in order to provide cancer patients rides, to and from, appointments in Clayton, Henry, Spalding and Fayette counties, and occasionally, he will drive patients in Coweta and South Fulton."
Bob Langley lost his wife to cancer, and decided he wanted to help others. He has worn out two cars already, and is well on his way to wearing out a third. He said he had 359,000 miles on the first car he used to transport cancer patents, when it gave out; 228,000 on the second car, and now has 216,000 on his current car.
Our two deserving runners-up are Bob Leatherwood, of Riverdale, and Val Hemozkiy, of McDonough.
Leatherwood was nominated by Mike Trimble, of Riverdale, who wrote that Leatherwood "has had an outreach ministry in Riverdale for the last 16 years. He picks up donated food from Publix on Saturdays and distributes it to the poor and hungry. He also collects clothes, furniture and household goods for the needy and less fortunate ... He also helps people feed their pets when in need. This super-volunteer has spent his personal money many times to help others, and has housed the homeless on his personal property until they could find housing. Recently, he was told of a woman living in her truck in the back of a cemetery with her little dog ... He felt obligated to go visit and check on her. Now, she is living in a more stable environment ... Mr. Leatherwood is a very dedicated, generous and valuable member of our community ... "
Val Hemozkiy, of McDonough, was nominated by William Armstrong, also of McDonough, who wrote that Hemozkiy "works four days a week obtaining food for Mission Forest Park, a ministry of First Baptist Church of Forest Park, which feeds 200-225 people twice a month. The people who attend also receive a bag of groceries. This involves making trips to the Atlanta Food Bank and other sources to procure the food products, keeping the inventory, bagging the groceries, and myriad other duties.
"While doing this work, he has had surgery to replace both knees, but this has not slowed him down. He does all of this without compensation and with no official title. Mr. Hemozkiy loves God and people with a pure heart, and everything he does is based on this love.
"He also helps other food ministries obtain food for their pantries. Each Tuesday, he goes to Kroger to pick up food for the Love Ministries of Henry County and delivers it to their Mission House. Also, he has helped obtain food for the food program at St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church ..."
For being our "top" volunteer, Bob Langley will receive premium tickets to NASCAR's Saturday and Sunday races, during the big Labor Day weekend event at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Sept. 4th and 5th, as well as VIP Suite passes for the Saturday race, so he can enjoy an insider's view of events.
Our runners-up -- Val Hemozkiy and Bob Leatherwood -- will each receive two prized tickets to the races on both days.
This "competition" was intense, since all of those nominated -- in addition to our top choices -- are truly dedicated public servants, who often put the needs of others before their own. Therefore, the newspapers will be rewarding each of them with a gift, too, a token of appreciation, just to say: "Well done, and thank you for all you do."

Goddammit I didn't posted in 2 months. Just checking that I'm still alive.
If someone stumbles upon me on Moscow GeekPicnic which will happen today and tomorrow, say hi.
Some of the best photos from photoshoot for Ravio cosplay. Short to say that a photo with Abe is like a tradition now.
"Hey, brodie, can you do something cool for Zelda release?"
"Sure, how much I have?"
"3 days."
"Ok, I'll need some day-offs."
How the hell can you take a bed over a mushroom?

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My gnome warlock has several quirks, most of which just kind of came as I was playing her, rather than were planned from the beginning. The first (the planned bit) is her narcolepsy. I have a macro that makes her fall asleep every few minutes or so. Sometimes she says strange things when she wakes up, as she's disoriented, and sometimes she's just embarrassed and apologizes.
She's also turned into quite the attention seeker, but not in the bad drama way. She leads a raid and is a guild leader - her victories in SSC are integral to her character's stories. She's bent on doing these incredibly heroic things, as well as being a socialite.
In these moments of being loud and excited and authoritative, she tends to talk like a Valley girl. Guildmates have commented that you could look up the word "Totally" in the dictionary and see a picture of Duerma. :p
These particular quirks might make her sound a bit like a caricature, and I suppose she is a bit over the top. However, she's a real person. She's got insecurities and quiet times too. It's been just as fun developing these counter points as it has been the quirks.

I like to watch full movies with "On Demand", after work late at night, sometimes I'll fall asleep and miss half of the movie.
The next day, I want to finish the movie, but have to wait 10 minutes to Fast Forward to find the middle of the movie where I fell asleep. Why isn't there a way to jump in 5 minute or 10 minute segments to pick up where you left off, instead of waiting forever wasting bandwidth? Maybe a "FF 8x", "FF 16x", "FF 32x".
Another thing. The basic listing in the "On Demand' guide no longer displays a "NEW" icon for newly listed movies in the premium movies section, unless you select a movie for "More Information", which uses up a lot of time when loading. The same applies for the year (date) of the movie, unless you click the "information tab". I like to watch new listings and can't remember what is new and what is old. Verizon touts about how many thousand movies it has, but leaves you in the dark.
I know, they have a section of "new movies", but I don't want to muddle through the PPVs and the "On Demand" trying to figure which is free and which will cost me, by selecting each movie one at a time to see if it is free or not.
Finally. If FIOS is so fast, then why is there an insane delay between clicks when navigating the "On Demand" menu? The little LED light on the box is instant when I click the remote, but the menu drags behind. I almost bought a few unwanted PPVs that way.
Sorry, one more thing. I hate the "On Demand" Search, because they do not tell you that the movie is from Encore, HBO, Cinemax, ShowTime or anything. You have to "Click and Hope" that the movie is in your package. If it isn't, the you have to search all over again.
Please enable "chaptering" within all recordings, not just movies. Directv does this very well and it is a major headache to have to fast forward to the middle or end of a show. You should be able to easily skip ahead in 10 or 15 minute increments. Please fix this as soon as possible. It is so frustrating and makes me miss Directv.
It would be great to be able to skip tracks on my movies in My Library instead of having to fast forward the old fashioned way. You already have the buttons on the remote, can we use them?
I'd like to apologize in advance if the answer or solution to my question has been posted on one of these forums but ... I see that someone asked if there is (or will be) a way to either skip through chapters or fast forward any faster than"2X" while watching anything on demand? It just seems ridiculous that you can fast forward up to "8X" on your DVR'd shows/movies but it takes almost a half hour to fast forward to the middle of an "ondemand" movie.
Not only was the same question asked almost 3 years ago (by Kier on 8-28-2010) but someone from Verizon actually verified (also 3 years ago by Joe_ambeault on 10-11-2010) that the capability "to point and skip to chapters" was indeed in progress.... so I'm just curious how many more years it's going to be before that capability is a reality? Please pardon my sarcasm but I just think its funny that 3 years later, we're still fast forwarding at a max speed of 8 seconds at a time.
So even though I would look like a fool if there actually IS a way to fast forward or skip chapters while watching "on demand"..... I would love for someone prove me wrong... Anyone? Please?
Thanks in advance for any help!
I recently changed from Comcast to FIOS TV. With more and more shows becoming on demand, I have no need for a DVR. I learned today that skipping forward (or backward), say, 5 minutes at a time is not possible with FIOS TV if you do NOT subscribe to the DVR service. Comcast permitted this. I am certain it would be an easy upgrade for FIOS to make function available for those of us who have no need for a DVR, but wish to skip through chunks of on demand shows at one time. Please do so soon.
I definitely agree with skip forward while watching on demand. It's just so annoying that you can do it with DVR but not on demand. Please be aloud to fast forward with on demand.

Mifepristone..."The Abortion Pill": The Facts
Biology 103
2000 First Web Report
On Serendip
Mifepristone..."The Abortion Pill": The Facts
Sujatha SebastianOn September 28, 2000 the Food and Drug Administration after several years of research approved Mifepristone, better known as the "abortion pill", for distribution in the United States. The FDA's decision will have a definite impact on women's health care in the United States. There will be social and medical repercussions. The drug has caused controversy not only in antiabortion groups, but in Pro-Choice groups as well. Critics are worried that an abortion available in pill form will be "too easy". They are worried that use of the pill will be abused. What many people do not realize is that while Mifepristone will be beneficial to women's health care, it is not without side effects. In light of all the recent coverage that the "abortion pill" has been given in the media, and all the misinformation surrounding it, I decided researching that Mifepristone would be interesting and helpful. The purpose of my paper is to discover how Mifepristone works, how it is administered, and to look at its side effects. I want to demonstrate the benefit Mifepristone will be to women's health care, while showing that it is not an "easy" solution to abortion.
"Mifepristone, formerly known as RU-486, is a medical alternative to aspiration abortion."(1) It works by blocking progesterone from being absorbed into the uterus. When this happens the uterus sheds the endometrium (lining in the uterus, therefore inducing menstruation. (2 When Mifepristone is used as a method for abortion is it administered as part of a three step process. The first step is that 200 mg of Mifepristone is given orally in a doctor's office. Then within 24 to 48 hours the patient is given 400 mg a drug called Misoprostol either orally or in a suppository form. Misoprostol, which is a synthetic hormone, is used to get the cervix to soften and dilate as well as getting the uterus to relax. The embryo is then expelled.(2) This is supposed to happen approximately fours hours after the administration of the drug. The final step is an examination by a medical professional to make sure the abortion is complete. (2)
There are restrictions as to who can use this medical method of abortion. It is only intended for women to use up to nine weeks after their last menstruation period. Women who are under 18 or over 35, epileptic, diabetics, or suffering from heart, lung, kidney, liver, stomach or intestinal disorders are ineligible. As are women who have taken steroids within the past 12 months, or deemed overweight or a heavy smoker. Women who have used an IUD or hormonal contraceptive within three months prior to conception are not allowed to take Mifepristone as well.(2)
Like any drug or medical method there are side effects to using Mifepristone and Misoprostol. It is the number of side effects and degree of each that critics argue about. The FDA has determined that taking Mifepristone does cause various degrees of pain. Short term physical effects can be pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue.(2) There are psychological side effects as well. In some cases products of the conception are visualized. (3)
The use of Mifepristone will have a definite impact on reproductive freedom in this country and the world. (3) It is seen as less invasive procedure which gives the woman more freedom and privacy. In the United States it has been reported by the Alan Guttmacher Institute that eighty-nine percent of the abortions occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Mifepristone will allow women another option to terminate a pregnancy in its early stages. (2) Twenty-four percent of the world's population lives in places where abortion is not legal. (3) As a result a significant population of women perform their own abortions or receive illegal abortions which kills them. The medical method of abortion would allow women in these areas of the world to receive a safe method of abortion.
A major issue that critics of Mifepristone have is that they feel that the drug will allow abortions to become "too easy". But the drug is only administered in a medical office and requires at least three visits. The last visit is an examination to see that the abortion is complete and that the mother is in good health. Before the patient is given Mifeprex tablets (Mifepristone) she must sign an agreement in which she acknowledges that there are side effects, that there is a three step process, and that 5 to 8 women out of every hundred do not have successful medical abortions and need surgical abortions . (5) Critics worry that the drug will cause an increase in the number of women who have abortions. Supporters of the drug cite the fact that in France, where the drug is manufactured and was first administered, there has not been an increase in the abortion rate. (2)
Mifepristone will change the way that abortions are administered. This method gives a woman more autonomy and does not require her to go through surgical procedure. It can also prevent pregnancy by taken as soon as a day after she has had intercourse. This new method will allow more women to have access to safe abortions. Mifepristone opens the door to a new area of medicine in which previously surgical procedures are now approached in a medical manner. Whether in support of or against Mifepristone one has to recognize the new technology the drug represents.
One of the problems I had when researching information was finding unbiased information. Both pro and anti Mifepristone groups used "research" and statistics to their benefit. Distinguishing the difference between opinion and fact was difficult. This is especially true because there is not a lot of accurate information about Mifepristone published by reliable sources. This is due to the fact that Mifepristone has just recently been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Mifepristone that will be beneficial to women's health care and medicine. But one must realize that it is not without side effects and cannot be seen as an "easy" solution to abortion.

08/06/2005, from a Reader on the Web
I took that pill and almost blead to death now i have have to say it's not as easy as it sounds it is very painful like child birth but more blooder atleast for me i now have endromitrious and may have to have my women parts removed i had nothing before i took those pills i'm 37 so i'm just saying better think it out before you take it because it's dangerious i have a son who is 18 it was easier for me to have him then go through childbirth than taking those pills becuse i'm still not well and it has been 7 months
For what it's worth, I though I'd share my personal experience using Mifepristone almost a month ago.. After having made the difficult choice to abort, I learned of this pill as an alternative option to having the traditional surgical procedure. Of course, as anyone would, I opted to try the pill because it seemed -less- painful and was something I could do in the privacy of my own home. After having been given the first pill, Mifepristone, at the doctors office on a Friday afternoon, I finished out my day at work with minimal side-effects at that point. The Mifepristone made me slightly sick to my stomach, but compared to the ongoing morning sickness I'd been going through, it wasn't so bad. (ha ha) Misoprostol was the next step, given to me in the form of 4 tablets, to be inserted vaginally myself at home. I was also given a full bottle of Vicodin, as well as a bottle of 800mg Ibuprophen for the pain the doctor anticipated I would encounter (this worried me a little). Late Satuday afternoon, I'd say around 4:30pm, scared to death not knowing what to expect once everything started, and knowing I couldn't turn back now, I inserted the tablets and took 1 Vicodin as directed. About 30 minutes from the time I did this I began to have cramping comparable to what you would feel during a typical menstrual period.. but not for long. Within an hour I had severe cramping.. I'd been warned the pain could equal that of actual child-birth contractions, and this must have been it. (I've never had a child, so I can only imagine) I was to the point of feeling like I would pass out if the pain didn't let up when I passed the first, and largest, portion of what -was- the pregnancy.. Many people will tell you that all you'll see is blood and clots, and it's unlikely anything will look like actual tissue.. but mine sure did.. Large masses of gray tissue were expelled for the following numerous hours. Somewhere close to midnight that night I felt relief enough to know it was over.. or so I thought. 4 days after this, while I -should- have been feeling more or less back to normal, I began to experience increasing pain in my abdomen. I called and spoke with my doctor about this, but felt as though she didn't seem concerned at all. No more than 2 hours after hanging up the phone I developed a fever that shot through the roof out of nowhere, and my heart began beating unbelieveably TOO fast. The "increasing pain" in my abdomen now had me laying in bed, hardly able to move. I called my mother who left work and rushed to my home to get me. I couldn't even get out of bed to let her in when she arrived I hurt so bad. I ended up in the emergency room that afternoon with a heartbeat of 143 beats/min.. (Check your own and then you'll see just how high 143 is) and a 103 temperature I ended up fighting to keep away for the next 4 days. To make a long story short, that first afternoon I spent over 8 hours in a treatment room in the emergency area before they got my vitals under control and discovered the cause of everything.. The abortion pill I used began attacking my own body in a sense, and began a horrendous infection in my uterus. In the end I spent a week in the hospital on 3 of the most potent anti-biotics available, as well as some heavy-duty narcotic pain killers, while specialists from the surrounding hospitals kept watch over me constantly. It's now been almost a month since then, and I still have to have blood work done, as well as ultrasounds every now and then to keep monitoring my recovery. I have constant sharp pains in my abdomen and have been told the scar tissue left over from the infection may now keep me from becoming pregnant in the future.. It's all so much to deal with, and honestly, I don't think I've come to terms with everything yet. It still feels like a bad dream. Regardless of my experience with the pill and side effects it caused me, I can still step back and look at the broad picture of things.. The majority of women who use this method have no problems, and for them, this is a good way to go. I really do think it's a better choice for most, than to have the surgical abortion.. BUT - be warned.. It's not "easy" using the pill, and there's no way to know how you're body will react to it. I never knew I'd go through the things I did because of it. This is definitely not something to be looked at as the "new contraceptive" either, as some are saying. It's so risky, putting your body through something like this. It could take a toll on you that will effect the rest of your life. Like me.. Will I ever be able to have kids after everything that happened? Every woman out there should begin by being aware of how to avoid an unwanted pregnancy from the start. Such as life happens, and most protection only offers 99.9% effectiveness, we forget that's NOT 100%.. If you still become pregnant and choose to abort, do your homework.. read about all possibilities, and all side effects for each.. then decide what's best for you. I think the pill is a great option.. but be careful, it's certainly not without it's flaws.
i am 25 and this is my third
i am 25 and this is my third abortion...in the last two abortions i had my periods for 16-18 days but this time it is too much. i m still having my periods,its 21 days running...i m not suffering from any side effects, its just like my normal period but the days seems to be longer. so i m little scared..is it normal to bleed for so long?? what is the normal days for bleeding after the medication?

Sex after Medical Abortion
Okay Ladies i had the MA on 12/9/2011 thats when i took the first pill, second four was 12/10/11.. every thing seemed to work out about and hour half later i passed the fetus it was wierd tho cause i looked at it and i though i had twins..???, but a few days later i felt very weak like i been running around and i was only taking a few steps. like a 3 weeks after i felt abdominal pressure while watching my god daughter give birth.. and i passed another clot big 1 too just like the 1st time!!.i took pictures of it. jus incase. but now im ready to have sex, but i cant:
seems like every time i want to or i get the urge, i get the clear discharge and bam i start bleeding and clotting..its very frustrating i been to the doc about 2 weeks ago and everything is fine as they say. im left to use a toy.. which isnt that fun when u know your gonna start bleeding and clotting.. help me plz.. is anyone else going thru this!
Take it easy
Maybe you could try just taking a break from sexual activities for a little while. Your body maybe better, from your Doctor's view, but your emotions don't heal the same way. How about taking up a physical activity (biking, running, swimming, rock climbing, etc.) to keep endorphins flowing & the body moving? After taking it slow & things still don't seem right; you could consider seeing a psychologist along with your doctor.
dont be afraid
I was 5 weeks 2 days pregnant on taking the abortion pill,I took the first at 11am then returned 6 hours later for the 4 tablets that I had to insert between my cheeks and teeth,they didnt really dissolve and I swallowed the remaining tablets 30 mins later.
I got home and took a bath expecting the pain and blood to come,it didnt -infact nothing happened at all,nothing happened for 2 days!! in which that time i beat myself up thinking the worst that the tablets hadnt worked and i would have to go in for the surgical,i even thought about keeping the baby until i researched the damage that would have been done,but thats another story.
once i started to bleed,i had mild pain like a heavy period,i passed clots every time i went to the toilet the biggest on the first day being the size of a 50p but it was in no way painful, i am ashamed to say this is my second abortion and i found the surgical very traumatic and personally would never be able to go through that again,this i did find more natural and less upsetting.I have got 2 children and this is nothing like childbirth,i believe the earlier on you are the less painful it will be but do not be afraid whatever your reasons for being here the relief you will feel afterwards will outweigh any of the uncomfortableness - good luck girls
Did it
As we all know every women is different. I was pregnant about 6 weeks and even had a huge fibroid which I was surprised by.
But i took half a tablet at women's center and drank half a cup of yellow liquid. Nothing wrong when I got home. Today, Saturday, I inserted 5 pills up my Vagina and my story begins. I had mild cramping for the first hour however then at 12 i started cramping up. Never before have I experienced cramping this bad. I felt like I was getting stabbed in the abdomen. I took a hot shower no baths because it can cause infections and felt so much better amd so sleepy amd took a nap. Woke up an hour later to a really bad pain amd went to the bathroom as I sat there I heard a loud "plop" in the toilet. I didn't dare to look but after that I felt so much better. I'm thinking it was the sac and I'm done. I still have to insert 5 more pills tomorrow but I feel so much better now.
I am not yet ready for a child and I'm 19. If you're not ready then you're not. Know that whwn you have an abortion you're going to need a narrow mind and a narrow focus to that goal. My boyfriend was the one that thought of it and we both agreed to it. Here he is feeding me junk food and giving me lots of water.
Everyone is different. I feel bad for doing this but there was no way I could do this. Ignore those people who says abprtion is bad. We claim that all cells are living things so that includes bacteria which we kill everyday. So don't worry I think I made a great choice with this procedure. I'll do a update once I get my checkup next week.
We can only do our best @ the time
Hello there!
I went through this last year (Feb 2011, & I was 22). After reading your post I feel that you are much wiser than I was @ 19. However, I don't believe that it takes a narrow mind to "focus" on going through with aborting. Yes, the people who scream & yell their beliefs about OTHERS choices don't have credibility because they have no concept of other peoples situation, or life for that matter... So their voices can be overlooked. But when my boyfriend & I were faced with this decision we were anything but narrow minded. We educated ourselves & made sure we knew all of our options, prayed about it (nonstop for me), & realized what our BEST choice was at the time. Once we knew we were doing what we believed to be the BEST for ourselves, no "focus" was needed. Because, in life, all we can do is what we think is right in the moment. I know in my heart that my choise was right (& as a Christian, I Know God was with me in every step... If you are not Christian than I'm sorry if Im coming off preachy. Just know that if you & your boyfriend believe you did what was BEST, than IT WAS! Be confident in your best decisions! I hope this becomes easer & easer with every passing day!
It sounds like you are a super strong girl already, & you can surpass Super Woman's powers if you wanted to.
Thank you so much for your comment!!! You made me so happy reading your post!!! I always thought I would be a bad person for doing this but when you're put into the situation... Man, your life just gets so scary and you just have to do what's right for yourself. Yes I do understand that researching is important and I did that too, but my main narrow mindedness was more for ignoring those anti-abortion people but I understand what you mean too. Also you're not preachy at all!!!
But my main thing was to give another update...
When I went back for my second check up I found out that I didnt pass all the tissue. Only the sac was gone so once again I had to insert 5 more pills. This time I was more scared because I didnt want to go back for the procedure.
Took the second set of pills as instructed and waited for the pain. Guess what? There was no pain at all!!! I ended up passing all the clots and I was done within the first couple of days. They were all the average size of two quarters but that was it. I went back for my final check up and everything was done. Now i'm patiently waiting for my period. I know it'll take awhile for my body to readjust from pregnant to not so don't be alarmed!!! My Doctor told me it'll take about 2-3 months or 6-8 weeks till my next period!!!
All I can say is.... That was it?!?!
I took the first pill at 5 weeks on 1.25.12 - this of course was at doctors office. After 24 hours I placed the other four inside of my mouth ( lower cheeks) ... I let the pills sit for 45 mins. Then I drank some water swallowing the residue. Within the first 15 mins after putting pills in mouth my body was relaxing and began to feel tired. Decided to leave the local library & head home and prepare for the release process... not to mention cramping.
Like many woman looking for answers researching online is what I did prior to deciding on these pills, let me just say SOME of the experiences on this site sound like labor. I have a five year old.
Anyway the bleeding process started yesterday and I watched one movie. I drank lots of water, ate sushi and made myself a fruit smoothie later in afternoon. Overall the process felt like a regular period for me. I had no cramping and certainly was not sick. The only uncomfortable part was at one point I went to the bathroom and after pulling yoga pants off a ridiculous amount of blood released. It stained my toilet rug. BUY pads that absorb - mine were way too thin. The blood clots were just sitting onto. Today I have had just spots of wall tissue and a little blood. Next week in the one week check-up - hopefully the little bean in gone! :)
just wanted to know what the coure of pills you took were?
Finally, a positive story!

Make the right decision for you.
I was on this before I even made an appointment at the Family Planning Clinic. I was shocked, horrified and scared. The stories I read here managed to discourage me. But deep inside, I knew that I wouldn't have been able to provide for this baby. I wasn't ready. It wouldn't have been fair. As much as I was raised in a loving STABLE home I want the same for my kids.
The right thing for me was to get the abortion, me and my boyfriend had only been together for like a month, I'm a student I have absolutely no means of supporting myself let alone a child. In South Africa abortions are legal even to 14 year olds, so as a 20 year old, there were no legalities or anything. I filled in a form and my appointment was booked.
I came on the day they said I should, armed with information I got off the net. I had my questions ready. I was prepared. Took the first pill in the offices, took the others home. The next day I went to my boyfriends in the morning took the others orally and we sat in bed watching movies, the pain started then.
I've never been one for heavy periods so it was all new to me. Cramps like mad after about an hour. Up and down to the bathroom. Feeling light headed. Bleeding now. Passing a clot after an hour and a half. The cramps WORSEN, I'm on the toilet seat unable to move. The bleeding gets more. The diarrhea. At the climax of the pain, I almost passed out. All this happened in about 2 and half hours. The worst was over, the rest of the day was cramps and movies. My boyfriend was amazing. Keeping me hydrated, helping me stay positive. Massaging me. The next 10 days was just blEeding often with cramps but light. The bleeding subsided after finishing almost 3 packs of pads. After the physical pain began the emotional, I never cried till about 3 weeks later when my boyfriend told me he dreamt , the baby was a little girl. It hurts. I'm scarred emotionally. A deep pain that noone understands not even my boyfriend does.
Overall.... I don't regret it. I'd do it all over again. But because I'm never having sex till I'm married again, Ill make sure of it. I loved the fact that I did it in privacy. With a loved one around.
Make the right choice for you. Remember God won't stop loving you. He is a forgiving God.
Love and Light!
God & love
I wanted to comment on your last sentence... I found it comforting. Because when I went through this (last year, Febuary 2011) @ my lowest point, I actually googled "will God still love me" out of desperation. Ofcorse, I didn't recieve my answer with google... God told me himself. There was/is nothing I could/can do to loose God's love! I explored all my options & made the right decision at the time... & God was with me every step of the way.
I just thought it was fitting that I happened to read that while skimming these posts. I wish I could have read it when I was unsure... But I'm hopeful that this sentence reaches a girl who will find it comforting & reassuring in a desperate time. Thanks for posting.
The Pill
Well ladies and maybe gentlemen whether your unsure or positive about this desicion it is yours in the end and noone can influence it ok i took the pill im only 18 and the experience wasnt at all how i have read about previous women i mean of course you experience heavy to mild cramping the pain can be alot but it will not kill you as for the blood well 4 days and its done and i feel healthy and better. put it this way it is like a period with a lil bit more pain and bleeding but its ok thats why your doctor should prescribe you tylenol 3 and motrin they helped me and drink plenty of fluids when doing do i dont recommend eating for this may lead to regergatation so plenty of fluids will also help ureniate faster so the unborn fetus may pass thru the cervix smoothly the rest is easy from then.
well good luck ladies i wish u all the best
It didn't work!
I had a surgical abortion two years. It was really horrible and I said I'd never go through it again. I didn't get my period in August, but I was on a diet and very busy getting ready for college so I didn't worry. When I didn't get my period in Sept. I took the test. My roommate showed me how to order the abortion pill online and I took it according to the directions. I had really bad cramps and bled all over the place for four days. Then it stopped and I thought it was over. I had a period in October and November, I wasn't worried until I came home for Christmas and none of my winter clothes fit. I definitely looked pregnant. I took a test and it's positive. How could this happen! It is too late now to have the surgical and I'm going to have to tell my parents.
I just came across your post!
Did you have the baby
Not a good idea!
I'm so sorry to hear that you had to go through this. I have two beautiful healthy children of my own and became pregnant with my third. My husband and I decided that "timing" wasn't good for our family and chose abortion. I'm not surprised that you found the pill online but this was a huge mistake. I went to Planned Parenthood and found that you get one pill from your doctor and the balance of the 4 pills you get to take home, hence a "home abortion". I just did this yesterday and feel it was a success. However, the one responder is correct. What was the pill you received on line? Not only that, but a follow up visit is required by your health care practitioner to ensure the abortion is complete. The abortion pill can cause sever birth defects. My thoughts are with you and the baby you have on the way.
I'm sorry to hear what
I'm sorry to hear what happened to you. I find it very shocking though that you were able to order these pills on line. Anyway, I was told by the doctor at Family Planning (and by my own research) that once you take Mifepristone it stops the development of the embryo and if it doesn't cause you to expel the embryo you should get a surgical abortion because the fetus can have serious brain damage and other kinds of complications. Also, you may want to get checked with a doctor and have an ultra sound you may not be pregnant anymore. You will still have the pregnant hormones though that will last for a while. That is what happened to me after I took the pill and everything came out and I went to my check up appointment and had an ultrasound and everything "looked fine" which meant I wasn't pregnant anymore but yet I was still showing positive pregnancy tests and that's when the doctor explained the whole hormone thing.
My experience was not bad!
I have read a lot of these posts about women being in extreme pain and I find them difficult to believe. I understand that everyone has a different pain threshold, but seriously, the pain is equivalent to period cramps, not even very heavy cramps at that. I was only four weeks from the time of conception when I took the medication to end the pregnancy. I took the first pill and experienced almost no side effects. I started very lightly spotting about 36 hours after the first pill. Approx 48 hours later I ate, took two vicoprofren for pain, waitied one hour, and then tucked the four misoprostol tablets into my cheek and waitied. I felt some very very light cramping about twenty minutes later. I swallowed the rest of the tablet that didn't dissolve and continued to wait. I was so nervous after reading some of the horror experiences on here, but nothing like that happened to me. I had a family member with me and we spent the day talking and eating junk food. I felt sick to my stomach all day for the most part but never threw up and never had diarreaha (sp). I stayed laying on the couch the whole time and it was a little bit boring. I never experienced much pain, just a bit like period cramps, but not even as bad. In fact, I asked the person that was with me if I should maybe try walking around so that it would get some contractions going because I couldn't feel anything much going on. An hour after I took the four tablets I took another pain killer and a half of an hour after that I took an advil. I think this may have been overkill. I felt sick to my stomach from the four tablets plus all of the pain killers. Anyway, I checked once about two hours after taking the four pills to see if I was bleeding and I wasn't yet. Then, about five hours after taking it I got up to use the bathroom and looked at my pad and there was nothing. HOWEVER, as I sat down to urinate I felt and heard a gush come out, and even though I was warned by people on here not to look, I looked. It was weird, about one cup of mucusy blood came out at once with no bleeding before or even right after. This is a bit graphic, but I think some of you might feel better to know this. I waded through the matter that was expelled to find the yolk sac and I did find it. I rinsed it off and inspected it so that I could get an idea of how developed an embryo is at four weeks after conception. The sac was the size of a dime and I looked inside, but whatever was there must have been so small that I couldn't see anything, it looked empty to me. I later read that the embryo would have been the size of a sesame seed or even a poppy seed. So, just a speck really or not much bigger than one. Anyway, I didn't bleed at all after that for about two or three hours. Finally, my pain killers wore off and I noticed I was still having some cramps, still mild and eventually I started to bleed like a normal period. I have been taking it very easy. Not moving around much and doing as little as possible. Please don't be nervous. I don't know why some women say it is so awful. Maybe they are much farther along, which would probably make it worse. Also, the counselor at the women's clinic I went to explained that some women do not experience hard or heavy periods so they are surprised by cramping and bleeding equivalent to a heavy period. Anyway, it was really a super gentle process. It barely hurt. Don't be afraid.
I think every experience is going to be different...
Thank you for sharing your experience. I think it is a testament to how effective medical abortion can be in early pregnancy, and why it is considered a viable option to surgical termination. However I also think that all experiences are going to be different and should not be minimised irrespective of a person's tolerance to pain.
As it was explained to me, women that have previously given birth may find a medical termination to be less painful and easier than women that have not as the canal is already stretched. There are also women that have a termination further on in pregnancy, meaning the embryo is larger and the attachment to the uterus is stronger. This along with other variables such as age, normally heavy or painful periods, smoking status, living situation/support structure and conditions such as endometreosis, blood disorders, depression and anxiety can all impact on the physical and emotional pain a woman may experience.
abortion pill
Well all i can say is you were very very lucky to have had such an easy experience.
I had my experience yesterday and the passing of the pregnancy was 3 hours of absolute agony.. never felt pain like it.
im just glad that it is over.
Nobody is the same
You may have a hard time believing it but it gives you no right to doubt. I am in the process of expelling now and this is the first time I've been able to do as much as lift a finger. I'm in horrible pain! I have a high pain tolerance and never expected to hurt this bad. I can suck it up but I am not even walking and dread going to the toilet. Everyone and every pregnancy is truly different.
almost same experience
Hi! I'm 6 weeks pregnant, I got 5 medication pills, the first pill mifeprex I took it orally, but nothing happened within 12 hours. I read some post that I have to wait 24-72 hrs to take the misoprostol. I was really worried, After I took the 1 st pill in 12 hrs, i took two misprostol and i started bleeding. within 4 hours its not that heavy bleeding but i can see blood clots when i urinate. I cant sleep that time, because of cramps, dizziness and vomiting. I woke up, i took the pills every 12 hours. And my boyfriend told me to take the last pills again, and i'm hoping for much bleeding than the 1st misoprostol that i took. I'm still on process, i dont now if its successful.
my abortion pill story
I'll just cut to the chase and tell you how my experience went when I decided to take the abortion pill. I was just at about 9 weeks. On Thursday 12/15/2011 I took the first pill at the clinic, felt fine no side affects went about my day... The following day (24 hrs later) took my antibiotics in then took my second set of pills inside my mouth and let them desolve... I felt sleepy from the pills so took a nap. Woke up an hour later nauseated and took the anti nausea pill but that didn't help so threw up and felt crappy. Finally the cramps came in, just felt like severe cramping on my first day of a period. BUT did not feel like I was dying or anything like that...Finally felt like my water broke and went to the toilet and the baby came out. All the pain went away finally. Then started bleeding and had the blood clots that day and the next like they said I would. Did the maxi pads and a week later finallly used tampons!! All in all the baby came out in only about 3 hours. Continue taking my antibiotics and ibuprofin and I'm doing good. I didn't have sex til about 3 weeks later (new years) When for a check up few days later and everything was good and got on BC. I am STILL bleeding which is normal. I hope to get my period in a few weeks. ANY questions reply on here and I'll write back, I didn't really go into detail but thats pretty much how it went.
Incase anyone wondering I
Incase anyone wondering I finally got my period last month March 6 n I took the.pill in December, it was light and lasted 4-5 days. Hope my cycle is Normal now!
I have a question
I noticed u took the pill 12/25/11 I took the pill12/2/11amd my experience was similar to yours but it's 1/24/12amd I'm still bleeding but it's not heavy but it's like how ur pad looks at the end of your period are u still having a bloody show or have you stopped I was told that it can take up to 6wks for the bleeding to stop and I know for everybody it different but I'm just doing my own study because my experience was crazy something came out like 4hrs after taking the other pills that you dissolve in your mouth and about a week and a half ago something else came out I called my doc and it wasn't helpful I think maybe this easy way is really the hard way
abortion pill
My boyfriend is an Indian, we got the medication pill in India with the doctor's letter. The pills that i have says mifeprex and misoprostone, it consist of 5 pills, they told me to take the 1st large pill Mifeprex, i dont feel any. I was worried, after 12 hrs i took the 2 pills of misoprostone, then i started bleeding. I peed and i was surprise it like a water came out from me, I'm 6 weeks pregnant. I can see blood cloth, but its not that heavy bleeding.Im just really worried, its my 1st time, lot of things running in my mind. When i took the misoprostone was nauseated last nigh, i felt heavy cramps, i cant sleep and i was vomiting. And then i tried to sleep, when i woke up theres no bleeding that much. I read several articles that says women experienced heavy bleeding, but me its like regular period with blood cloth whenever i urinate. I took my last 2 pills of misoprostone today 12 in the afternoon, hoping I'm goin to experienced much bleeding compare last night.. I'm realling hoping its goin to be successful. :(

update* on my abortion pill story
5 weeks after I've takin my pill and I've finally stopped bleeding! I was 9 weeks along. I hope to get my period soon.
I am going this Saturday to a
I am going this Saturday to a planned parenthood and I have off work until Tuesday. Do you think two days is enough recovery time for the cramping and etc? I am about 4 weeks... I also feel bad doing this, pretty guilty. I know I have to though. Has it been hard coping since or have you gotten threw it okay? And how do you know you passed it for sure? Thank you in advance.
You're early, so by Tuesday you'll just bleeding. And I knew when I passed it because it was a bigger mass and I looked at it..I just knew.because after it came out the cramping stopped.
You're pretty early so your experience might not be that bad....i had mine done (the 4 pills) on tuesday but the dr. told me not to go back to work until friday....cramping differs. But 2-3 days is sufficient. Just avoid heavy lifting and heavy activity. You wont kno for SYRE sure until the follow up appointment but most likely when all that....mess....comes out in one big mass....you'll know.
When you go in again for your
When you go in again for your check up they will make sure that you are no longer pregnant.
A little worried
Hi I'm 20 and just found out that I'm 5weeks 5days today at the clinic. I opted to do the medical over the surgical. This is my first abortion so I don't know what to expect. Yes I know I was irresponsible and I now I regret my actions because I'm in no state ready to have a child. I'm a student and still have many plans for myself. Coming from a christian background I know and understand the consequences of my choice but in the same breathe I know that He still loves me regardless. So I don't expect anyone to judge me thanx! I took the first pill today at the clinic (Marie Stopes) and had minimal side effects.... I'm a lil worried because I threw up ±32 minutes after I took the FIRST pill at abt 11:50 this morning I've been having nausea all day since then. I want to inquire if I can still continue with the 4 pills tmrw or has the vomitting spoiled the entire process?
Hello to all, I have been reading and besides for all the judgmental comments I have prayed for all of you and wish you the very best.
After like others, deciding to take the plunge with this procedure I am nervous. My appointment is in 4 days and I've been trying to research this topic like a mad dog. Thus brings me to my question, ##
In y'alls opinion if I have the choice to take Mifepristone (PILL) and misoprostol ORRR Methotrexate (INJECTION) and misoprostol which should i choose?
Did anyone that had better luck with the procedure use a certain type of pain medication they would recommend?
I have been feeling shitty and have not had any appetite, if you do not eat the days of will it make matters worse?
Many thanks, other recommendations are happily taken.
As for judgmental comments please toss those out the door.

Take a pregnancy test or see a doctor
i took the abortion pill
i took the abortion pill yesterday. at first the cramps werent too bad, just like a heavy period, but after four hours i hadnt 'passed my pregnancy' so they gave me two more pills to swallow. about half an hour after that i was in the most hrrendous pain. i puked, codine wasnt helping and i really thought i was going to faint. the clinic i went to discharged me and said i would pass it in the next day or two. as it happened, i passed while i was still on the ward, into the bedpan they had told me to use while i was there. as i was cleaning my self up after using the pan i accidentaly put the tissue into the bedpan instead of the bin. because they needed to see what was in the pan i had to take the tissue out and put it in the bin. i realy wish i hadnt now. i saw the sac and the little pink embryo lying there in the pan in the pool of blood. i came out of the toilet thinking good, its over now, everything will be alright. this was at about eight oclcok last night. its now half six the foloowing night and i have just wept and wept. i dont regret my decision because im not in a postion to be able to even carry never mind give birth to or look after a child at the moment, but that day will still haunt me for th rest of my life, as will the image of that bedpan.
After reading some of thse
After reading some of thse comments on here I was unsure about going through with the medical abortion. However....I am 48hrs into the process and believe me girls, as long as you take your medicine as directed there won't be any problems. Sure there were some cramps and I had a little bit of an upset stomach but all in all it hasnt been bad. I am very pleased with this whole process and I wish you luck.

i am thinking about the pill but not sure to take it after reading all of this. if anybody has any advice please reply thanks
Hello, I'm actually right
Hello, I'm actually right next to my girlfriend right now as she is taking the four misoprostol pills. I'll update with how she is after it is complete.
So far though, after she took the first pill at the planned parenthood office, it made her feel pretty weird. About an hour and half later she ended up vomiting quite a bit. I called the emergency number they gave us because I thought maybe she had thrown up the pill and ruined the process, but they told me that as long as she kept it down for half an hour she'd be fine. Since then she has felt pretty nauseous and vomited a lot today. Although we think it was because of the antibiotic pill they gave her as she usually has bad side effects to antibiotics.
Anyway, so far she's feeling fine. She took two tylenol and codeine pills that they gave her and she's a bit drowsy. I think the best is to just medicate yourself before hand and you should be good.
Abortion V abortion Pill
In my opinion im sorry you all had to go through that but the pill is no different from the real thing. You decide if you are ready to have sex on your own. no one is pressured to do it unless your a gun or nife point or getting raped so if thats the case you can stop reading this. for everyone else when you decided to have sex you know what would become of it if you was not careful. when you have abortion you are killing a life. e murdering another human beings that is apart of you. most women dont realize that they are stronger then 10 men and do a hell of a lot more then what you can do with a sorry excuse of a man. if they cant take on responsabilities they are still little boys and you dont need them. when you have a regular abortion you experience the same thing as the pill. bleeding, cramps, pain, depression its all to be expected. in other words im saying if you not ready to take on responsibilities girls keep you pants zipped and guys keep your sex sticks in your pants. in reality getting any kind of abortion mean your truely not ready and need a little more or a lot more time to grow up.
I did it
I did it. I was 6 weeks and 4 days and I took the first pill 2 days ago. I was scared and panicking about the whole process...but let me tell u, it really wasnt so bad. Really important tips...I took a tylenol 400 right when I inserted the 4...drank plenty of fluids like water tea and Gatorade. Had soup and watched a movie. Practice relaxation and breathing exercises and PRAY. It was vertually a pain free experience. Just sit on the toilet whenever u feel a flow and you'll use a lot less pads. God be with u all. Have faith and courage. Know you're not alone.

Interview with Sam Sweet, Author of the Forthcoming "All Night Menu," A Secret History of Los Angeles
Sam Sweet lives in Highland Park and has written about surfing, music, and Los Angeles culture for the New Yorker and the Paris Review. His latest project is All Night Menu, a 64-page book that is the first in a five-volume series about the lost heroes and miniature histories of Los Angeles. The writing takes to you places you didn't know were real but are right in your backyard and introduces you to people who shaped this city in unseen ways. Created wholly in Los Angeles, the booklet is only available locally, in stores like South Willard, Mollusk Surf Shop, and Anzen Hardware. More info at the end of this interview.
How long have you lived in Los Angeles, and what neighborhoods do you like best?
I moved here in 2007. I like the usual stuff. How can you not? No amount of overexposure can diminish the greatness of driving on Mulholland, or loitering on the rim of the Venice Skate Park, or being on the top floor of the Arclight parking garage. Even so, I think you get the best of Los Angeles in places undefined by any particular attractions. I'm happiest when I'm doing nothing much in Lincoln Heights, Chatsworth, El Segundo. I love Sun Valley because it's so fiercely unattractive but within that labyrinth of auto recyclers is a living culture that is unique to LA. In a more conventional sense, I think San Pedro is one of the prettiest towns in America.

Mix My Granola Review
Last month I received a generous offer from the folks at MixMyGranola.com to sample their products in exchange for a review. It's a brand new company, started just last year by three co-founders who sought to make the perfect granola mix.
They concluded, properly, that the perfect mix varies for everyone – so that's what they set out to provide. MixMyGranola offers a truly unique ordering process that allows you to completely customize your mixture, with an endless variety of options.
The best way to explain it is to walk you through the process. Click to enlarge any of the following screen grabs …
The first step is to select from one of four different types of base mix: organic, low-fat, French vanilla, or muesli. As we go along, keep an eye on the box on the far right; it accumulates the total charge as each new ingredient is added.
Next it's time to add some fruit. As a point of clarification: from this point forward in the report, the screen grabs are only partial shots. In addition to the fruits shown here, there are eight additional choices further down the screen.
Of course, you know I'd put strawberries in mine; I also included some blackberries for good measure.
After selecting your fruit, you move on to nuts and seeds. There's a huge variety of ways to customize your order here: more than 10 different varieties of nuts, and 6 different seeds, including the mega-nutritional chia seeds that I mentioned in the Monkey Shake review.
(You know what else you can get? Hemp seeds! I'm pretty certain these won't get you high - but wouldn't it be interesting to try? To paraphrase Jimi Hendrix, you're not necessarily stoned ... just beautiful. [scroll to 3:50 mark] Go on - tell me you're not a little bit curious now.)
Another cool feature of the ordering process is that at any point along the way, you can click on the nutritional calculator underneath the subtotal and get the nutritional values of your customized mixture. It's a nice tool to have, because …
… the next screen is the "extras", where you can really rack up the calories, as well as add some pizzazz to your mixture. There are gummy bears, candy corn, jelly beans, and other assorted sweets.
You could also go in a whole different direction here and make a spicy or salty mix, with things like wasabi peas, mustard pretzels, or sesame sticks. I prefer the sweet route over the spicy one – at least when it comes to granola – but you could make a great mix of either variety.
This last page is just plain cool: a whole set of "enhancers", which are powders and extracts to add a killer punch to your mixture. Who couldn't use a little extra caffeine? Or quinoa or spirulina or green tea powder? These are great options to increase the nutritional value of your mix without much of a caloric cost.
As far as taste goes: it should be good - because you made it! The ingredients are 100% natural, and organic whenever possible, further ensuring a high-quality product.
I really enjoyed the mixture that I made, and I would definitely recommend using MixMyGranola from time to time. The primary drawback is the price, especially when you account for shipping. My order cost about 15 dollars, which (with my big appetite) was only about two servings worth. It's more expensive than buying the ingredients and making your own granola at home, but much more convenient and less time-consuming.
Considering that, I think it would be ideal if you like a unique combination of tastes and don't feel like mixing and matching from store-bought products, or if you like difficult-to-find ingredients and don't have access to a good health food store. It would also make a great gift for any athlete or health nut.
Finally, there are a couple of ways to make MixMyGranola more affordable: First, if you buy in bulk, you get 5 orders for the price of 4, and pay shipping on just a single order. Or – you must have known this was coming – I've arranged for a coupon code to use.
If you buy from MixMyGranola.com and enter the coupon code RAMBLING, you'll save 10% on your entire order. It's a good chance to try a cool product from a very unique company.

$2.99 is way too much to pay for what Quizno's tries to pass off as "food". They are even lower quality than SubWay, which is quite a feat.

There are three distinct common MMO payment models: Subscription, Buy-to-Play and Free-to-Play. Subscriptions requires a monthly fee, Buy-to-Play requires a one-time fee and Free-to-Play requires none, and any payment is optional. Below rests a list of reasons why Guild Wars 2′s model, Buy-to-Play, is the future for MMOs.
I am a gamer. My main focus – when I actually get the time – is to play games, believe it or not. However, with all the latest releases funneling out in close proximity, I know I may not get around to many of them for months, or maybe even years!
So, if you apply a similar situation to someone who also plays World of Warcraft or some other subscription MMO, you lose even more time to play those new releases, because you feel like you must play to get your money's worth of that monthly fee. I certainly have suffered from this when Lord of the Rings Online originally launched.
This lack of obligation is so refreshing that I have stuck by Guild Wars 2 since launch. Sure, I may not have played it everyday, and there have been a couple of weeks where I have stopped completely to pave the way for other games (ahem, Bioshock Infinite). I don't feel like I have to be there every day because there is no bill lingering over my head, and that is a breath of fresh air.
Well, apart from the bi-weekly updates… but that's a whole other topic.
I have to admit, the instant I saw the Quaggan backpack on the Guild Wars 2 store, I threw in my debit card details at the speed of light. You can see what I mean by watching the video above!
The idea that you only pay for what you want to is just far better than paying a sum of money to a game for nothing in particular. This is my pet hate about subscription fees – many titles do not get updates monthly, so why am I paying for content that was already there?
For example, before The Old Republic went Free-to-Play, updates and releases were extremely sparse. So, in those months in-between content releases, why am I paying for content I should have paid for when I bought the box? And why do I have to continue to pay for access to that content?
Such seems a little unwarranted to me. I paid £35 for The Old Republic, and then a £8 subscription on top of that. The original fee should be for the content that was present at release, and my monthly sub should contribute toward new content, not as a payment to retain access to what I should have already paid for.
The Old Republic joined the Free-to-Play masses late last year, and unfortunately, it didn't do it well. The game punishes you for not paying; you are consistently restricted in every single way unless you pay up for an "unlock" of said restriction, or become a monthly subscriber. Hell, I wasn't even allowed to hide my ugly helmet because such required an unlock!
The aim of any Free-to-Play game should be to impress the player with a fantastic title that they wish to keep playing, and once they are encompassed by the actual game being good, then they should look to the cash shop to buy cosmetic items, boosters and other items that do not actually change or improve the game in any way, or make you better than someone else, but just give you a reason to spend money on the damn game!
If a game is truly good, and you've played the majority of it for only the initial cost, then you will eventually vote with your wallet. Whether it is a new armor skin, weapon skin or a "lockbox", these minor purchases slowly rack up. I know for a fact that I have spent more on Guild Wars 2 than I would have on any subscription MMO, because I have enjoyed the game and looked for something to buy. What is actually available doesn't matter – if it looks interesting and promising enough, I'll end up grabbing it just because I play and love the game. I have plenty of friends who also feel the same, and have also spent more on Guild Wars 2 than they ever did on World of Warcraft.
So, reverting back to the heading of this section, buying the box is excuse enough for a game to avoid The Old Republic's dire "you have to buy something" attitude, because you already have bought something! This gives the developer an instant source of income after release, and has (so far) prevented horrid systems alike what we see in The Old Republic.
People like expansion packs. Hell, they love them.
If, for example, Guild Wars 2 announced an expansion now for £20 or even £30, then no one (apart from that guy) would complain. Even though many people are spending in the cash shop, the fact that there is no monthly cost makes you feel as if you are spending less. An expansion, then, sounds like an even better deal, rather than the alternative of forking out £30 to then continue to pay your subscription.
The Secret World also has an interesting system here – the game is Buy-to-Play, and then you can pay around £5-10 for each of its downloadable content. I like this idea!
The amount balances around to the same as a subscription, but the most important part is that you do not have to pay it if you do not want to. Having the choice between paying or not just makes it so much better – you buy what you want. If a large content update includes stuff that is of no interest to you, then don't buy it! It makes perfect sense.
Let's not forget the fact that we like our MMOs to grow. Having to pay monthly can put off a whole lot of potential players, but I also agree with the argument that Free-to-Play titles – on average – have volatile communities (ahem, League of Legends).
How about the middle-ground? Having to buy the box for £30/40 means that people interested in playing the game grab it, even if they are unsure about MMOs in general. If it was £30 then £10 per month, a lot of skeptics are quickly turned off – the risk of them not enjoying it is now far more expensive, and these people could have been your future guildies and friends.
Many of the Free-to-Play games suffer from their own design; in order to get people to spend money on their game, they implement a system where paying money gives you a clear advantage over those who do not. I think we can all come to a consensus and say "this sucks".
No one wants to lose their head to some 15-year old with their daddy's credit card, who's decked himself out in the "n00bkillaz" armor set.
This type of system usually comes into play because games cost money to make. They do, I swear! And thus, developers have to implement ways for the public to help them break even.
In a Buy-to-Play game, the boxed sales already help the game break even! Any further cash shop sales are done in good faith, and is simply 'extra cash' for the creators.
Just to state, many of these games above are not bad games, they are just plagued by poor payment systems. I might seem like I hate The Old Republic above, but that isn't true – I enjoyed the game to an extent, but simply hate the money-grubbing husk it has now become. The game behind all that mess is a pleasant one, alike all the others here, but what you have to wade through to get to such makes it hard to recommend.
So, there are my personal reasons why Guild Wars 2′s monetary system takes all the cake. It is flexible, enjoyable, welcoming and financially successful, and the way MMOs should be headed. There is no strong argument as to why Buy-to-Play is a terrible idea; Guild Wars 2 has proven it works, and can be very successful. My favourite part is that the quality far exceeds many MMOs; huge game updates are released every two weeks (which I have personally never seen in an MMO) and a fantastic community.
It seems that those "subscriptions" are no longer a means of paying for quality…
How do you feel about the different types of MMOs, and what are is your favourite? Let us know, below!

The place was nice and was cleaned daily. The biggest concern I had was the staff, some kids on the street bothered us for money. We gave them 20dirahm and they complained. We told them that's all they are getting, we went to our room and a min later the staff was at our door asking for more money, I was very upset at this point and told the staff to leave right away

Ohio Amish Country Tour that beats all the rest! For those who really want to experience Amish culture and customs you need to take this 12-hour tour that includes breakfast, lunch and dinner in different Amish homes. Throughout the day you will experience a museum, Amish businesses, Amish homes and learn about how Amish communities are organized, how they are educated, what a wedding involves, and many other interesting facts. Are Amish marriages arranged? Do the Amish pay taxes? How many years do Amish children go to school? These are just a few of the questions that will be answered on this adventure. While this tour is a lot of fun, 12 hours can be exhausting so you will want to spend the night before and the night of the tour at an Ohio bed and breakfast. Garden Gate Get-A-Way Bed & Breakfast has put together an all inclusive package where you pay one price for lodging and tour. You can also leave your vehicle at the B&B and your tour guide will pick you up right at the B&B. If you visit the bed and breakfast website you will find other tour options that are shorter and include historical tours and more.

Re size my book
hi, I want to make a smaller version of my book. my book is 11×13 but i want to make a 8.5×11 version of the same book without any content change. Is there a way to convert my book without do all the work again? please some help me.

I don't think you'll find a 8.5" x 11" book option, the nearest smaller one would be the 10" x 8".
Then on top of that problem I'm afraid there is no way to automatically make the change, it is a matter of starting again.
If the book is photo heavy you can save a small amount of time by choosing, from the File menu, the option New Book with this Photo Library.
Then do a search of the FAQs for Autoflow, you'll see that button just under the My Imported Photos heading on the left of the BookSmart window, that might help get the photos into the pages quickly, but it all depends on whether you can find find page templates in the 10" x 8" that match those used in your 13" x 11". The templates are not the same in each book size.

Thanks so much Tony for your help! : )

This is such a disappointing thing. It would be great if there was a conversion tool. A mapping between page layouts across different formats and bringing text with text settings would save so much time. An export text feature into a RTF format with a simple page number before each text would be helpful. It's not like I can have two Booksmart docs open at the same time to facilitate cut&paste. And the PDF export is all photos, so you can't yank the text from there either.
I was looking at doing this for a 13×11 book I just finished. It would make the book more accessible if others wanted to get a copy. However, I can't see spending more hours rebuilding all the pages. A shame Blurb didn't choose proportional format offerings (8×10, 10×12.5, 11×13.75; 7×7, 10×10, 12×12). Shutterfly did this so you could easily upgrade or downgrade without losing you work, and they retain or grow the sale.
I'm doing a trip book that will be three gifts and I'm doing the book twice. 10×8 for three gifts, and a 13×11 that is consistent with my other personal trip books for myself. A shame I have to do double work, but 10×8 vs 13×11 lowers the cost of the gift books by 45% ($30-$35) for each 70-100 page book. That's a $100 for just those three books.
I converted a 13×11 to 10×8manuualy. It took about 15 hours to rebuild the 188 pages. Some I had to switch to photoshop since 10×8 had formats that couldn't accomodate what I had done in the 13×11 book. Of course there was a five hour proofing and fixing session after the rebuild, so the whole thing probably took over 20 hours to rebuild into a different size.
My input for Blurb—Offer square books. The templates would allow use of multiple photos per page, plus full bleed. Then we could create 300 dpi files for the largest book, and easily automate the the resizing of files for the smaller ones. How about 12×12, 10×10, 8×8? Square is a very popular option with the expensive album providers for wedding photogs…....

"Gary Stibel, CEO and founder of The New England Consulting Group, said his data also shows a lift for Old Spice. "We think that Old Spice is up. We don't think it's up in the double digits, but it's up meaningfully, and we think it's driven 100 percent by marketing."
What's not measurable is how much help the campaign had from the news coverage it received. Type "Old Spice" into Google news and you'll find more than 2,000 articles have been written by everyone from Business Week to MTV to. . . us. If P&G had bought ad space on all of these publications, the cost would have been astronomical, but now they're a part of advertising history and that is, to quote another ad genius, priceless.
The "Old Spice Guy", Isaiah Mustafa, is now on his way to becoming a movie star with a role in Jennifer Aniston's new movie. Now that's how you breath new life into an old brand.

Thankfully an email to the support guys at Github resolved the issue within a few hours. Still, I thought it might be a good idea to download my gists locally.
I can see all my gists as a JSON file online here:
Thus, I downloaded the file and thanks to the RJSONIO package I was able to clone all my gists locally with a few lines of R:

PEMBINE, WI (WTAQ) - Authorities say high speed was an apparent factor in a one-car weekend crash that killed a Waukesha man.
Marinette County sheriff's deputies said the 27-year-old driver lost control on a curve and hit several trees.
It happened around 3 a.m. Sunday on a road in the town of Pembine. No one else was in the car at the time.

With regards to the last story, when we were working on LK25, we were once at bout 50% in P3, with 2 people down, but it was going well. Someone called for an innervate, and the only available was that of the feral druid MTing the LK. She had once done it on putricide without taking a melee hit in caster form and thought it would work again, so upon the call she blew innervate then frantically spammed Bear Form - unfortunately LK got a hit in and the lack of armour provided the LK with a 200k hit on her. The OT was quick on the ball though and we continued into P3 ^^
Also note that the MT was actually an extremely good player, she just happened to think it was possible if well times and it backfired a tad :P At the very least it was one of the funniest tank deaths I've seen.
Maybe I run with crazy druids (actually I'm pretty sure that's a verifiable fact), but have seen druid tanks do this many a time. Unlike your tank, they tend to wait for the boss to start some cast, or hit the other tank, or during some other mechanic where they won't take a hit. But I seem to recall a few Barkskin casts of Rebirth or Innervate while they still had the boss' attention. At least they had their pants on. If they were REALLY picking on me they'd have done without those too.

I consider Sulamith Wülfing being one of my most beloved illustrators of all the time - ever since I found her works. What do I find especially exquisite in her pictures? The colours she used. The way she used to draw and paint hands and cloth. Generally.
Who was Sulamith Wülfing?
After she graduated from the Art College in Wuppertal at the age of 20, and 11 years later she married Otto Schulze (professor at the Art College), the Sulamith Wülfing Verlag was founded, a publishing house of her and her husband. The first exhibition of her paintings took place in the same city in 1923.
Her illustrations
Prints and publications
During her life, she had plenty of exhibitions and sold plenty of prints. However, there wasn't any "big" or "massive" campaign to promote, which is the main reason of her lack of fame.
