The GRRC is incredibly excited about our new and improved Kinrara Enclosure for the 2014 Festival of Speed.
The enclosure is now the only double-storey, air-conditioned facility on the festival site, which will not only give Members unparalleled viewing but will also mean we can accommodate more guests in the restaurant – ensuring a more relaxed 'waitress service'. It benefits from the same fantastic location on the inside of Crossroads Corner where guests are able to enjoy a splendid marquee, a glorious garden area and a private grandstand.
Downstairs, the marquee has a superb restaurant, a well-appointed bar and coffee area, eight giant plasma television screens and luxury rest rooms. A central staircase will then take guests upstairs to a relaxed and informal bar area leading outside onto a decked balcony offering supreme viewing of the Hill Climb, Goodwood House and the Mercedes Central Feature. From the first floor balcony guests will also be able to access the grandstand from the rear via a new raised walkway, making the flow between the two areas much smoother.
As always Kinrara guests will benefit from a complimentary copy of the event programme and radio, entry to the Bonhams pre-sale viewing on Thursday 26 June, access to the Winners' Enclosure (Sunday only) and VIP parking.
Both Adult and Family Members are now able to purchase up to eight tickets into the Kinrara Enclosure, so why not invite family and friends to make a day of it? If you have already purchased your admission tickets you are still able to upgrade to the Kinrara Enclosure by contacting the Ticket Office on +44(0)1243 755055.

Once again in 2014 GRRC Members are entitled to two complimentary tickets to the Moving Motor Show. The Moving Motor show is held the day before the Festival of Speed and provides new car buyers and motoring enthusiasts the opportunity to see the very latest models up close, and in many cases drive them on a dedicated vehicle evaluation route within the grounds of the Goodwood Estate, including the revered Festival hillclimb. Please contact the Booking Office on +44 (0)1243 755055 to order your tickets.
All GRRC Members attending the Moving Motor Show will have access to the fabulous Kinrara Enclosure for the day. If you haven't visited this Enclosure before, this will provide you with the opportunity to see the fabulous benefits the Kinrara Enclosure has to offer, at no additional cost. There will be a pay bar and restaurant for those seeking refreshments and a break from walking round the magnificent Park. We hope you take the opportunity to experience this superb facility for the day. Please remember to wear your 2014 GRRC badge to gain access – Membership cards will not be accepted. The usual Kinrara Enclosure dress code will not be enforced on Thursday.
Please be aware that the GRRC Enclosure will be open to the general public during the Moving Motor Show. The Enclosure will be returned to Members in time for the Festival of Speed on Friday 27 June.

What Our Clients Say
Select a team member to view their testimonials.
- Stacey was a pleasure to work with. She stayed on top of the details, timing and conditions of the transaction and worked with me to close a particularly challenging transaction. While we both had our clients' best interest in mind, Stacey was a great partner in keeping the transaction moving forward, keeping the lines of communication open and reaching mutually beneficial goals for both the buyers and sellers. I know what to expect now when working with Stacey and it is all positive.
- Cynthia was great. She showed us a good range of properties in different parts of town. She was a pleasure to work with and was very patient as we had a lot happen (our daughter was born) during the process. She really was very helpful and attentive. We would recommend her and Beyond Properties to anyone looking in Oak Park. We love our new home and our new neighborhood.
—Robert Young
- I've dealt with lots of realtors. Cynthia is top shelf and I would use Cynthia again. She would be my first call.
—Duane Painter
- Erica guided us through each step of the process, even as we changed our plans. She listened and provided helpful input to help us define our needs as we prepare to be "empty nesters." Erica was friendly, patient, hard working, honest and available. We'll definitely work with her on our next move.
—Ed Gerns
- Kris was very easy to work with, knowledgeable and friendly. She has a calm, reassuring presence that is helpful in the ups and downs of buying a house. Kris was especially good at responding to questions right away and being very thorough in her communication with me and the other parties involved. I would highly recommend her as an agent, and we are very happy with our purchase.
—Julie Harley
- It's hard for me to buy toothpaste, so imagine the dread I felt when my wife said it was time to buy a home. Luckily we found Erica Cuneen who effortlessly guided me through the process of one of the biggest decisions of my life. I love my house!
—Emile Jorgenson, Albany Park, Chicago
- Susan was my realtor for my recent home purchase and she skillfully guided us through a long, arduous and sometimes frustrating process to a home we love!
—Tosan Olley
- Kris really persevered working with me. She helped me get the place I wanted and was excellent with follow up.
—Eric Miller
- We were first time home buyers when we first started working with Erica. She was very patient, took extra time to show us all the "ins and outs" of buying a home and provided support and understanding. If we ever decide to buy again or sell our current property, she is the first person we will call.
—Melissa and Kevin, Oak Park
- Kris is a real pro. She really helped me including setting the price, taking good pictures, scheduling the showings, smartly timed open houses, up-to-dates on the competitive environment, and finally all the details of the listing and sale. Very important to me, she was on top of all the paperwork involved with the listing and sale of the unit. Her knowledge and follow thru were particularly important since I'm an out-of-towner. Her attention to detail was truly fabulous! If I had another place to sell, I'd use her in a heartbeat. And, as a bonus, she's really nice.
—Mike & Celeste
- As our agent in finding a home, Erica has worked within our specific (and sometimes limited) parameters, always with good humor and integrity. Throughout this process we have relied heavily on Erica's knowledge of the housing and mortgage market and her keen negotiating skills.
—Andrea Alter
- Cynthia is so kind and pleasant to be around and, obviously, has great experience. She did her research and really helped us talk through our decision. In hindsight, one of the reasons Cynthia was such a good fit for us is because of her ability to give you her professional opinion in a subtle way that helps a buyer feel comfortable in the decision making process. I immediately got the sense that she really cared that we found exactly what we were looking for in a home. I distinctly remember walking into what is now our home and turning to her and saying "this is the best we've seen" and she just nodded and said "yes." Cynthia confirmed what I felt and knew it was the right house for us, too.
We would absolutely recommend Cynthia or Beyond Properties to our friends and family.
—Mayra Bacik, Riverside IL
- As first time homebuyers, the support and guidance Erica gave us was invaluable. She listened to what we wanted. She made herself available around our schedules. And she offered us not only the wisdom of an experienced broker, but also of a homeowner with deep roots in the Oak Park community. She never got impatient with us when we asked many (probably too many!) questions or hesitated. If we ever have to sell, we won't think twice about calling her to list our property.
—Mara & Nate Block
- Kris was wonderful to work with! She provided us with great listings that met our needs and requirements--everything from location, price and specifics such as size and extras the home must have. She also pre-notified us of any conditions any homes we were interested in had. This saved us from the hassle of moving forward with a home only to find out that our lender (VA loan) would not approve the purchase. She knew how valuable our time was to us. And on all our home visits, she prepared a buyer's tour for us. It was so helpful! All the information we needed was readily available, and we were able to take notes and see photos of the homes. More importantly, she was always available and responsive. My husband and I both have tight availability and she was always able to accommodate our schedules. Once, Kris even visited our apartment at 10 p.m. because that was the only time we could meet! Not to mention, she also responded to our calls and e-mails within an hour of receipt. She also gave us very useful information regarding the area, the properties we viewed and what situations to take advantage of. Kris was a wonderful buyer's agent. She made the home buying process and search very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends, family or co-workers--and when we are on our next move I will be sure to reach out to her again.
—Laura Waldron
- Kris is a kindhearted - intelligent - detail oriented professional. She understands the nuances of the local market. Kris responded when we had the slightest needs and supported us during our complicated move. Kris was in complete partnership with us during the entire process. She is helpful beyond words!
—Heidi and Mark
- Erica showed me a home and I knew it should be mine. The problem was in convincing my reluctant husband. Erica was able to describe the pros and cons of the property in a way that made him feel comfortable, and I got the house of my dreams!
—Amanda Cage (Emile Jorgenson's wife), Albany Park, Chicago
- Susan got me a great house at a great price. I'm not the best at following up on things right away, but Susan helped keep me on a proper pace. I would absolutely recommend her and Beyond Properties to friends and family.
—Greg Stewart
- I had a great experience with Richard finding my house. I had a great time working with Richard and I feel like he really was an upstanding realtor. He was helpful, honest and willing to go that extra mile every time. It was a really great experience and I can say I have no complaints at all. I really feel that Richard did an expert matchmaking job for me and my house and I am super super happy in it. The experience went very smoothly and I feel like Richard absorbed many of the road bumps on my behalf. I would without question recommend Richard to anyone I know.
—Andrea Schumacher
- Erica took time to guide us through the process and make sure we knew what to expect every step of the way. She showed us numerous properties and took the time to help us determine exactly what we were looking for in a home. When the right home came on the market, she previewed it and took us in the first day it was listed. We ended up in a competitive bid situation but still managed to not overpay by negotiating not only price, but closing date, earnest money deposit, and finance contingency. I know that our final purchase price was not higher than all of the other bids. Having an experienced agent that understood the market and the seller's goals enabled us to get the contract. With a less experienced and less knowledgeable agent we may have lost the home or ended up paying a higher price.
—Jim Svehla
- Over the course of our six-month short sale odyssey, Stacy was exceptional with her diligence and commitment to serving us. She knew her market incredibly well but she knew even better how to handle our concerns and worries regarding the numerous pain points that arose during the process. She was all class: considerate, intelligent, empathetic, and personable. I have recommended her to all of my friends who are in the real estate market and will continue to do so. She is truly the best advocate and counselor a person can have when it comes to buying or selling their home.
—Matthew Scharph
- I would highly recommend Kris, as she is an extremely personable and knowledgeable broker. She is very timely in answering any questions I have, and providing pertinent information when needed. She manages to make the difficult job of house hunting an enjoyable experience.
- I highly recommend Erica, she is professional, diplomatic, and knowledgeable. She guided us through the challenge of selling our home in an unstable market, and negotiated a great deal on our behalf. She gained our trust with her calm manner, thorough research and integrity. I wouldn't walk into any real estate deal without her.
—Dar Darley
- Cynthia was extremely professional. She educated us and gave us the tools to find a property that fit our needs. Her knowledge of the community and the nuances of local housing styles was an incredible asset to the process.
The referral list and information packet provided by Beyond Properties was very helpful. The checklists provided in the information packet were helpful resources. I referred to them several times as we moved through the process of securing our home loan and setting up various services for our home. There were so many details to consider and it was very helpful to have a clear and concise guide.
We would absolutely refer Cynthia to our friends and family!
—Nicole & Louis Rivera
- Erica is a delight to work with. She helps eliminate the frustration from real estate transactions and is very well connected to what is going on in the market. She helped us find the exact house we needed in Oak Park in only a few weeks.
—Kevin, Sara and William
- We really appreciated the personal attention we received from Lola while our house was on the market. She made the process as painless as possible. We were also impressed by Lola's negotiation skills - she is kind, prepared, and persuasive. She sold our house in 45 days! Lola is someone we would highly recommend to others.
—Allison and Peter Case, Oak Park
- Kris was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. She responded quickly to any inquiries and really knew the area. She provided valuable information that helped immensely. She also connected us with resources we didn't know existed.
- Erica, despite what was then a slow market, helped me to maximize the value of my sale of a multi unit building in Chicago and purchase of a multi-unit in Oak Park. She coached me through a tax deferrment available when exchanging investment properties. She also recommended a highly expert/creative mortgage broker, home inspector, real estate attorney, and insurance agent.
—Brian Long
- We loved working with Susan. She is a very thorough and knowledgeable broker. Susan worked with us for about a year, taking us to countless properties. She was extremely patient with us as we waited for our condo in the city to sell and as we tried to figure out where we wanted to live.
I am sure that Susan spent more time with us than her average buyer, but never once did I feel that she was getting impatient with us. She was always extremely pleasant, positive and professional.
—Howard Wax
- I was referred to Lola by a friend. My overall experience purchasing a home with Lola was great. She made the process very easy and stress free. She was very accommodative to my schedule and made herself available when I needed her. I would most definitely work with her again and recommend her to friends and family.
—Jennifer Jankowski
- Erica helped us buy a home in Oak Park, IL. She was a great help and comfort as we relocated from Florida. We were overwhelmed with the real estate market in the area and Erica patiently and competently walked us through the process. Her knowledge of the neighborhoods and willingness to listen to our needs allowed us to find the perfect home. When we finally decided on a house, Erica was able to negotiate a price that was much lower than listing. We were amazed at her willingness to advocate for us! She guided us through the inspection and closing and her advice was always helpful and spot on. I highly recommend Erica and would not hesitate a moment to use her talents again should we decide to move.
—Betsy Parkinson
- If any client could put Erica to the test, it would be us. My wife, two kids and I spent months trying to sell our home in Virginia, while also looking for a home in the suburbs of Chicago. Erica has the amazing ability to make you feel like you are her only client. She unselfishly works night and day to help you find your dream home, negotiate the price, secure a loan, and close knowing you've gotten the best deal possible. She made what I thought would be an overwhelming process, an absolute breeze. I would recommend her to anyone, except my worst enemy.
—Justin Lyons
- Susan helped me find a home of my dreams on a tight budget in Oak Park. She was amazingly respectful, professional, honest, and realistic. She works with an amazing network of home buying essentials from an amazing mortgage man to home repair recommendations. I couldn't be more happy.
—Jill Wilhite
- We loved our experience with Cynthia. We started looking for a home with her over a year ago. Not only was she patient with us but she was always responsive, timely, and always had our best interest at heart. She is very knowledgeable about homes and as we would walk through them she always noticed things that we never would have seen.
She did an amazing job. I already recommended her to friends of mine from Evanston that are looking to buy a home.
—Carina Kearley
- Erica has the utmost skills in both purchases and sales. She is knowledgeable in all facets of real estate, has experienced a multitude of issues on transactions and has the highest level of professionalism in all facets of negotiations of the closing and pre-closing process. What makes Erica unique is her level of ethics and professionalism when representing her clients. She goes above and beyond the normal realm of a real estate agent.
—Angela Tricoci
- I am very pleased that I referred Elissa to Erica Cuneen at Beyond Properties She has been wanting to move back to Wisconsin for a few years now. I received this email from her:
"I wanted to thank you for recommending Erica Cuneen. She and her company were extremely helpful. I rented my place today, was hired to work in Wisconsin today and will be moving back this Sunday!"
It is so good to have professionals to recommend that I trust will take good care of my clients. It reflects well on Beyond Properties, but also on me and my business. Thanks!
—Tom Peterson
- Claudine was able to show us properties that matched our expectations and followed up quickly and professionally with other realtors to set up showings on short notice. She had a good portfolio on hand which perfectly suited our expectations. She was also fun to be around and we had a good time.
—Christian Goebel
- We recently had a 1031 exchange to deal with and we worked very closely with Erica. We found her to be a dedicated, hard working person, totally committed to the task at hand. She followed up on every request and attended to the smallest detail with professionalism and speed. We knew what we were looking for, and she helped us to expedite the search within the given time frame. We will surely use her again when the time arises.
—Proce Enterprises
- My wife and I could not have had a more positive experience, than working with Susan. She is both patient and knowledgeable, and was ok holding our hands throughout the process, as we worked with her in purchasing our first home. After multiple trips out, and countless showings, Susan found us a home and worked diligently with us through the negotiation process. She knows the area, and is able to provide information about the neighborhoods at a moments notice. Unlike most of my peers experiences, Susan is truly an agent that listens to your concerns and works with her buyers (and sellers I'm sure) Toward a successful outcome. My advice: work with Susan Abbott.
—Josh and Emily Hagan
- We lived in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. Of all these real estate markets, Susan Abbott stands heads and shoulders above our prior Realtors. She took time to listen to what we wanted. She worked with us at a pace with which we were comfortable. And she was prepared on a moments notice to show us newly listed properties. Susan's insight into what we needed and what was available in Oak Park was amazing. She respected our time by not showing us homes she knew we would not interest us. And when we finally found our current home, we knew the moment we walked in the front door that our family would live here for years. Susan Abbott did stop looking until we found the home that made us say "wow".
—Milta Hernandez & Dian Atkins
- We turned to Erica after our Bucktown property went unsold for nine months. Within one month she repositioned the marketing and sold the property at the price we hoped for. Erica managed the entire sale and made the experience very straightforward.
—Simon and John
- Cynthia brings a enviable combination of a knowledgeable Real Estate agent who excels in her trade and understands her territory as well as an accomplished artist (a pro-photographer) whose insights and vision for the potential, design, and decor of properties are indispensable in making purchasing decisions. Besides these professional characteristics, Cynthia is the most affable person to work with - soft-spoken and trustworthy yet fair and tough (if needed) in negotiations on behalf of her clients. I would recommend Cynthia to anyone as a RE agent (or just as the friendliest person one might want to find to know.)
—Reafllc Client, Buyer
- I used Susan Abbott from Beyond Properties when I purchased my house in Oak Park. My ex-husband is a real-estate attorney, so I know the difference between the good ones and the bad ones. Susan is one of the good ones. She was knowledgeable, helpful and conscientious. She was never pushy, but always followed my lead. She listened well in hearing my needs in order to help me find what I was looking for. Her recommendation for a mortgage broker proved that her network of people is well selected. In fact, my ex has now added that mortgage broker to his network.
—Rev. Kathy Nolte, Good Shepherd Lutheran
- Erica is an amazing real estate agent - she and those on her team that I've worked with are truly top notch, very friendly, reachable, and service-oriented. Her / their knowledge about the market, pricing and communities is a real plus to anyone looking to buy or sell. Through Erica's firm, I have bought a home and rented out another house that I already owned. The very first home that I bought, I had used another firm - I did not know about Erica at the time - and using that other firm was a huge mistake. That agent's firm was also representing the seller but never disclosed that to me (!) and that agent actually lied about why the property was being sold, so I believe I did not get the best deal or have that firm 'really' working in my best interest on that deal. That definitely wasn't the case with Erica and her team when I bought my home with their help. They don't double represent properties, so clients can know for sure that Erica and her team are always working in the client's best interest. I think that's extremely important, along with her immense knowledge about all things real estate. She and her team are the agents I trust and will go back to in a heartbeat for any future real estate needs.
—Jennifer Chhatlani
- I have bought and sold six properties in Oak Park working with Erica. She is an amazing resource of information, contacts and out of the box thinking. Most impressively, she has truly gone Above and Beyond her responsibilities as a broker/agent to see me succeed. I consider Erica a valuable part of my team and a great friend.
—Vera Anderson
- Erica was very quick to help us purchase our first home, and always had our best interests at heart, not afraid to shoo us away from a home that wasn't in great shape or a great place. She was always available to answer questions, and made the whole process a breeze. We love our new home, and would gladly recommend Erica to anyone. Perhaps even... to you!!
—Cory Faller

Excuse me? Where have you been for the past 14 months. If you had been paying attention to what the conservatives were warning people about you could not have missed the dire warnings. Apparently you were not along. You enjoyed listening to Obama on Leno, etal on TV frivilous shows. You avoided the hard news and preferred the Obama braindead media, it did not occur to you the billions individuals and businesses would be taxed for Obamacare. Yes, I watched those mile long lines of people as uninformed as you waiting to vote because someone, anyone told them how to vote, anyone with a D beside their name. They were and are completely oblivious to what is going on in the U.S., oblivious to how much it is going to cost them.

Viral Marketing Online I: Start with Value
Posted By The Grok On July 1, 2005 @ 2:15 am In GrokDotCom Newsletter,Public Relations,Social Media,Volume 114,Word of Mouth | No Comments
The success of your online word-of-mouth efforts begins with offering substance and value
Online advertising costs are orbiting. The rules for maximizing your online advertising efforts change faster than the wind direction. Optimizing your search engine rankings requires careful attention to the evolving algorithms, and you have to dig deep and persevere to "own" the critical keywords that improve your visibility.
You simply can't ignore this stuff if you want to succeed online. But what wouldn't you give for a nice, inexpensive, adjunct strategy that gets your customers marketing for you?
Enter the age-old standby: word-of-mouth referrals.
The enduring fact is, people talk with each other about the things that matter to them – discoveries, horror stories, shared interests. Typically, these conversations took place over cups of coffee or across backyard fences or when folks brushed up against one another in the grocery store. They still do.

He was sorry. How could he be sorry, Aisling thought. He was chosen as the revered mother's own. He shouldn't be sorry.
This was definitely Curnan. The gentle heart was there, so were those striking eyes. He still apologized too much, she smiled at that. "I'll tell you everything, Currach," she spoke once more, "I… I cannot hope to understand or tell you everything, but I hope I can tell you enough for you to fill in the gaps." If there was anything to fill them with. Was his family still around, even?
He smiled briefly as she prayed. "I'm sure they will."
Well, it was what he was hoping; after all, she'd been so kind to him in explaining everything he had forgotten. If The Old Gods still deigned to give her the cold shoulder, Currach wouldn't be able to understand why. Aisling could've gone anywhere, but she'd returned to the Reach of her own volition, and the memories still burned strong in her heart.
Endris raised an eyebrow. "Good and evil are relative. To some Telvanni may seem evil but most of us are simply selfish. To a Dunmer, it's evil to reanimate a dead body, yet a lot of other cultures don't consider it such. To an Argonian, the Dunmer are evil for participating in slavery. To a Dunmer, the Argonians are evil for taking over their ancestral home. It's all relative. As for mourning, the killing of rivals is such an essential part of Dunmeri culture that none of us give it a second thought. In the end, I won, so my pain is more valid, as is just. Losing Endase- I lost more than a sister." It would seem that this seemingly chipper and naive mer had a lot more to him.
Currach pursed his lips.
He was right. But if the elf so much as uttered that the evil crimes of the Nords were relative in the redoubts, he'd lose his head. The only thing that even allowed Currach to voice his rather unpopular opinion on Markarth and the Nords without being slaughtered was the sacred Briarheart that displayed his birthright as a child of the Hagravens.
Sometimes he wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry over the fact that he had to die once to achieve this honor.
"What you say has merit," said Currach, "It is something I had forgotten." Still, Currach was uneasy. Endris had memories—painful memories, but memories nonetheless. Meanwhile, the Briarheart had no family of his own—at least, none that he could remember—and it put him in an awkward position he wasn't sure he liked. True, he had the revered mother whose counsel and time were always valuable; he had his fellow brothers and sisters across the Reach, and he had Caoimhe. But since Aisling, he couldn't help but wonder just what he'd been missing, and what he still needed to remember.
His next question was surely a daft one, but Currach couldn't help but ask it. "If you could," he began quietly, "Would you be happier not remembering her death?"
It was either remembering the anguish or living with the void. Having lived with the latter in the past eight years, Currach hardly had a point of reference with which to relate to.
Seeing that the human would follow him, Baabaa trotted off, going quickly, but not quick enough that Currach would lose sight of him if he ran as well. The goat went fairly far, before stopping in front of a very large and very tall tree, decorated with various animal bones.
Currach merely followed quietly—perhaps his brothers would've thought it silly to follow a mountain goat across the Reach, but the animals knew their home and its inhabitants better than anything, perhaps even the Reachmen themselves. Besides, if Remi had a tendency to scurry around like Seaghdh implied, he'd be in for a long game of hide and seek.
It seemed for a while that the goat wouldn't stop, but once he noticed the tree, the goat stopped before it.
He recognized the tree-like the offerings and the fires, trees too held a spiritual purpose, moreso when they were adorned as such. Currach found himself struggling to understand why their religious displays frightened the Nords so, when bones tied with twine and leather were no less alien than homes built with wood and stone.
"Is Remi here?" asked the Briarheart. "In the tree?"
((So, being a bit neglectful of my RP blogs, as well as contemplating a few discussions I've had with friends, have made me kind of anxious as of late. And so, I wanted to ask you guys just for general feedback. I'm kind of stuck in a bind with class and work and a plethora of IRL stuff so I understand if I've been neglecting my threads here and there, but…
I was just wondering if any of you would be able to help me answer a few questions? Even with something as casual as RPing, I'm pretty dead serious about honesty. It is paramount for me. I hate having people sugarcoat things or lie—if something is shit, tell me it's shit and how it can get better. I respect honest people so much.
So with that being said, if anyone feels there's anything I could improve on (i.e, availability, promptness to answer threads, willingness to plot with you, character development, giving you something to respond with) please let me know. This goes for whatever blog I ran you're rping with or have rped with in the past. I want and am looking for bluntness. If you feel I'm bad at getting responses out and that I should work on that, let me know. If you feel like I suck at character development, let me know! If you feel I do not pay enough effort or attention to you/your replies/your messages, or if you think I am judgmental or if you have some certain criticism against me, please let me know. Hell, it can even be a compliment! I won't be offended by anything you hurl at me as long as it is kept strictly to criticism against the way I RP or the way I treat people. In fact, I'm desperately curious and I'll probably be asking you for suggestions and pointers.
The main point of this, is I want to fix problem areas. It's just the way I am. I am my worst critic, and I am a paranoid freak obsessed with pleasing everyone and myself. I'm slowly trying to learn how to be selfish, but in terms of RPing which is basically a collaborative effort, I'm trying really hard for feedback. I am really concerned about what you all think and whether or not I'm being a good/bad RP partner and a good/bad mod! It'll be great too because it'll give me room with which to learn.
I might be reblogging this throughout the day as I realize it's 7 AM and most people aren't on yet, but it's been bugging me! So with that being said, sorry for the text wall and I hope I get some messages <3))
"Rarely are stares welcoming to begin with, Reachman." She grinned, looking at him curiously. Wasn't he supposed to be a warrior? Was he a Ravager, or a Briarheart, or something along those lines? She wasn't exactly familiar with all their titles or statuses. She just knew they lived in Redoubts and one had a little butterfly in his chest and her guard enjoyed being dominated by women larger than himself. That was, essentially, the limit of her knowledge at this time. Maybe she could find out a little more from this fellow.
"Seaghdh is busy elsewhere?" Sontaire mused, tapping her chin, "He's usually what keeps his brother at bay. Remi could be near my Bordello right now, looking for him…" There was something resigned and forlorn to her voice in this moment, as if she had figured out this might not be for the best in a split second.
An idea crossed her thoughts. "You could come back with me, dear. I'll see to it that you find Remi, but if he's not there, he will be eventually, I surmise."
Currach smiled briefly. "That much is true." And upon realizing that he'd gawked at his newly made lady friend in the same manner, averted his eyes quickly.
"Seaghdh…is busy," he affirmed, finally—but with what, he wasn't sure. The last time he'd sought out the archer, he'd walked in on him brandishing what appeared to be some form of dildo. Since then, he'd really opted against asking him any more questions.
"I volunteered to watch over Remi in my spare time," he explained. "While I also know Remi to some extent, I did not truly realize how much of a handful he was until just recently." Currach's brows raised, however, at Sontaire's remark. Why would Seaghdh be here?
"Does Seaghdh frequent this place often?" he asked, curiously. "Ah, I mean, your…Bordello?" He had no idea what a bordello even /was/, but hopefully it would all make itself clear to him later. Still, hearing that Remi would eventually frequent the place was relieving. Currach never would've assumed Remi to know of a place like this, but then again, the two brothers were always full of strange surprises.
"Thank you," he said, nodding. "I appreciate your help. It's important that I see him home."
"Yes, it does." she nodded, "It marks me as an archer from Clan MacGillivray of Evermor. They're also supposed to channel the Old Gods to protect me in battle. Mostly, they link me as a follower of The Morrigan with the hope that I am given the cunning of a crow when faced with adversity. All archers are supposed to be cunning and be able to adapt quickly. Read the wind and terrain properly so a shot is never wasted and always find its mark. The kind of stuff."
Ishbel looked the man over and tried to avert her eyes as much as possible from the hole in his chest. He was peaking in a civil manner which helped to calm her nerves, but she was still on her guard. Judging from how she was treated when she crossed the border, she couldn't afford to be too lax around Reachmen, which made her slightly sad in a way.
"Your makings mean things too, right?" she asked.
"Your clan's beliefs do not differ much from our own," remarked Currach. "We value the same strengths in our own archers—with time, they learn to read the wind, and the terrain, as well as the changes in the hums of the earth. The Old Gods guide them through the hunt, as they guide all of us.
"The Morrigan is defintely one of our matron deities; they live on in the Revered Mothers of our clans, gifting us with knowledge, power, and insight. Some say it is she who gave Red Eagle his power, in exchange for his humanity." He smiled briefly, nodding down at his chest.
"And the cycle goes on. It is an honor to give myself to the tradition." At least, it was what he wanted to believe. "My markings in particular reflect who I believe myself to be. I pick my battles carefully, and I attempt to address my troubles with words, against a blade. My role is that of a protector, and being the one who oversees Red Eagle's Redoubt and the Sundered Towers, I find it is my duty to preserve Faolan's home as well as those before me.
"That is what my marks mean, at least to me."
Endris cocked his head at the question. Poisoning a rival was fair game but a whole family? He wasn't Helseth! "Of course not, they didn't do anything to me. Children are a rare thing for Dunmer, and I'm sure his wife would have had no trouble in remarrying. I may be Telvanni but I'm not evil." he pouted. "Killing rivals is just a part of life, but killing unrelated bystanders isn't."
Currach blinked. "Telvanni?" Part of him felt like he should've known these things, but in all honesty his past memories yielded nothing on this. "Are they usually an evil sort?"
It felt like a foolish and naive thing to ask, but he was relieved to hear, at least, that Endris had left the wife and child unharmed. "That is kind of you. And I understand your motives for revenge, though I wonder if his family had grieved over the loss, any."
Perhaps it was a silly thing for a Briarheart of his sort to say, but he couldn't help but wonder.
The goat seemed to be more attentive, probably because it was a bit older, and gave a bleat, almost as if it understood. It seemed the animals that followed Rémi around were unusually intelligent. Or at least the goat was, the dog seemed normal enough.
The white animal trotted back a few paces, staring at Currach, and gave another bleat. It wanted to be followed!
Currach did not hesitate, and at the bleat, followed the goat curiously. He quietly hoped he wasn't being led on a wild goose chase—or in this case, a wild goat chase—as he'd never really seen this goat before, but it was the only lead he had for now.
So he nodded as the goat looked back at him, as if conveying that he'd follow.
Indeed, there was something there. A little puppy, red and wiry fur, wet with water as it lapped at the stream. The goat followed Currach and seemed familiar with the dog, because the little creature went up to the white goat and sniffed at it, before sniffing all around Currach's feet and licking his leg.
No Rémi.
Currach bit his lip. Now he was surrounded by animals—surely pets of Remi—and he hadn't any idea where Remi was, yet! The Briarheart peered down at the two creatures, watching them. Maybe eventually, they'd lead him along? The dog seemed to be sniffing the goat and appeared relatively friendly. At any rate, he hoped he'd find Remi soon—he didn't want the man getting into any trouble.
He finally knelt down at the pup, gesturing towards the stream with a nod. "Have you seen Remi?"
It seemed almost ridiculous to talk to a creature to whom he had no ties, but the dog and the goat were certainly not stupid—maybe they'd prove to be helpful in finding the Briarheart.

Ed Maurer's life would be fine if he could just get Laurie Parker off his back. He's bounced back, more or less, from the neck injury that permanently benched his semi-pro football career, and he volunteers now at a local community center. It's just that every time he turns around, that damn professional dancer is in his way, hating Ed right back. But when a bargain Ed strikes at the center lands him as an assistant in Laurie's ballroom dancing class, their perceptions of each other turn upside down. Both Ed and Laurie have heartbreak in their pasts, but somehow dancing together eases their individual pain. For Ed, dancing with Laurie becomes a way to reconnect with his body after losing football. For Laurie, partnering with Ed has erased some of his fear of performing and brought back joy to a sport he wasn't sure he could ever truly love again.
As Laurie and Ed lose themselves in dance, their lives continue to spin around them: Ed's injury makes it clear he's nowhere near recovery, Laurie feels the pressure by friends and family to perform once more, and the community center that has become such an important part of both their worlds threatens to close. Alone, they haven't had the strength or spirit to face what life has hurled at them. But as the turns of their personal paths lead them into the arms of love, Ed and Laurie begin to think that if they dance this dance together, they might be able to succeed.

Any advice for CT scans, PCOS, or adrenal issues?
October 19, 2010
Dealing with possible PCOS, adrenal issues, and CT scans. Any advice?
I've been working with my doctor trying to determine the cause of symptoms I've been having. They've been leaning towards PCOS because I have a high level of testosterone, hirsuitism, and heavy periods.
The latest test was a DHEA-S blood test. It came back very, very high, around 850. Now they're concerned about my adrenal gland and has scheduled me for a CT scan. This seems like a big deal. This is the biggest medical issue I've dealt with. I'm in my mid-20s.
1) Does this sound more like an adrenal disorder like Cushing's than PCOS? I've been googling, but that's led me to lots of fear-mongering about cancer. I'm trying to avoid too much worse-case scenarios before my scan. I know that the symptoms of both disorders are similar.
2) What is it like getting a CT? The nurse offhandedly mentioned that I'd have to pick up some white liquid and drink it. I take it that's the barium, but... Could anyone explain what having a CT scan is like? I'd feel better if I knew what to expect.
3) Any other advice regarding PCOS or adrenal disorders?

I know a Wikipedia amount about PCOS but I had a CT scan last week [for sinus issues] and it was a really straightforward event. Very simple. I took off my earrings and barrette and nose ring, lay on a narrowbench thing with my head in a little cradle. The tech positioned me so that I was in the right place and then for about five minutes I lay there and the machine made little noises. I didn't have to take any contrast dye stuff but I've just heard the stuff is chalky and a little gross, but otherwise no big deal.
Here is a web site that describes what a CT scan is like
Usually people who have a hard time with body scans are having MRIs which involve getting stuck in a little tube while the machine makes loud noises; these scans can be scary, even if you're not very claustrophobic. CT scans are generally easy and there's going to be a tech there who you can ask questions. Mine literally took about ten minutes from the time I showed up in the room til i was walking out the door.

I can only answer the CT scan part, but when I had mine, it was pretty easy. They had me drink the contrast liquid, then I went into a room with the scanner. It looked like a big doughnut. They put me through the scanner, which essentially involved me sliding back and forth through the doughnut a few times. It wasn't too bad, and I'm incredibly claustrophobic, so that's saying something. The liquid was the worst part, actually - the taste and texture were kinda gross, but other than that, it was no problem.

PCOS is generally diagnosed with a simple fsh to lh ratio, and is mostly managed via drugs. I'm afraid I don't know much about Cushings and wish you will.

I don't know much about PCOS or adrenal disorders, but I've had three CT scans. One on my neck, one of my chest, and one of my pelvis and abdomen. The "white liquid" is likely some sort of contrast medium. These can be delivered various ways; in all three I had the contrast done via IV, and with the pelvic/abdominal one, I also had to drink about a liter of a contrast medium dissolved in water (it was virtually tasteless). The worst part was getting the IV (I have bad veins). When they inject the contrast (near the end of the scan), you get a sudden warm feeling primarily in your nether regions, which they warn you about.
The scan itself is easy. They usually last about 10 minutes. You maybe asked to partially disrobe depending what you are wearing, and put on a gown. Then you lay down on a sliding bed that will move you into the CT machine. Usually you are offered a blanket. Then you move into the machine, which is a big round ring/tube (but more open than an MRI). It will slowly move you until the appropriate body part is aligned in the proper placed, then it will move you a little more back and forward as they do the images. You may be asked to hold your breath at certain times, then let it out. This may happen for three or four cycles. When it's done you may be asked to wait a few minutes while the radiologist look at the images to make sure they are done correctly. If you have an IV, they'll take it out, you get dressed and then you are done!

This is a
pretty sober rundown of CT scanning
that doesn't get into anything specific or scary about particular conditions.
I had two non-contrast head CTs 10 years ago and they were boring and quick. (For comparison, I had three runs of MRI brain imaging with contrast this year and that was an hour and 15 inside a very small tube while feeling sorta weird from the gadolinium.)

I have PCOS. I'm guessing that they want to CT scan your adrenal gland to rule out anything major. As moof mentioned, PCOS can be managed with drugs but the drugs certainly don't eliminate the symptoms, but they can lessen them considerably if you take the right ones. I wish I knew more of your symptoms, which would help me to determine whether they are not they are related to typical PCOS. If you'd like to email me to discuss privately, I'm at georgiabloom at gmail dot com. Best wishes for good health and courage for your tests.

IANAD, but I do have PCOS.
1- PCOS is a syndrome, which boils down to "a label Dr.'s use for a group of symptoms." When I was diagnosed my doc explained that it's never a concrete type of thing, they have a list, and if they check off a certain number of the boxes they call it PCOS. Metabolic disorder is often related. It's possible you have PCOS symptoms
because of
an adrenal issue, which is why they are testing that, I suppose. They want to rule it out. I imagine it depends on which Dr. you talk to whether you have PCOS or Cushings.
2- I've also had a CT scan with the barium contrast. It's nasty nasty stuff, but I've always had a hard time with liquid medicines, etc. My scan was for appendicitis, so not exactly the same, but it was no big deal. I actually don't remember the scan itself, which tells me it wasn't that traumatizing. But that chalky milky sh*t, that I remember.
3- If it's decided that you have PCOS, it usually managed by meds. You want to keep careful watch over your diet, as it can be linked to diabetes (more specifically insulin resistance, which can become diabetes) and heart disease. I would check out the
Soul Cysters site
to help calm your fears. They seem to have a good forum, too, though I've not spent any time there.

PCOS is generally diagnosed with a simple fsh to lh ratio, and is mostly managed via drugs.
When I was diagnosed, none of my labs came back as especially abnormal. My gyno diagnosed me based on a collection of symptoms (existing insulin resistance diagnosis, adult onset acne, hair loss, wonky menstrual cycle) and said that in his experience, many of his PCOS patients are "normal" on paper but still benefit from being treated.
My endocrinologist at the time wanted to explore the possibility of Cushing's also, but my insurance company refused to pay for the testing so that went nowhere.
I didn't have to drink the contrast when I had my CT; mine was injected. I will be forever grateful to the tech who told me that some people at the time of injection will flush and then feel like they are about to lose control of their bodily functions - turns out I was one of those people. If this happens, don't worry, you *don't* lose control - you just feel very, very strange for a short time.
As far as management of PCOS symptoms - for a time I took spironolactone, which caused incredibly awful breast pains (an odd, but not unheard of, side effect). I tried generic Metformin, which caused gastrointestinal upset, then switched to brand-name Glumetza, which I tolerated well. Combined oral contraceptives helped with the symptoms but caused depression and increased anxiety; I now take a progestin-only pill, which has helped the irregular bleeding considerably. But in the end, I found that controlling my IR and PCOS via diet was the best option for me - there's a lot of info on the web about low-carb eating plans and PCOS.
Best of luck to you. Getting diagnosed took me years and was full of frustration - awareness of the condition has grown in recent years, and I hope this allows you to have an easier time.

1. Sounds a lot like PCOS, but keep in mind that PCOS is used as a catch-all diagnosis for those sorts of symptoms when they can't think of anything else that might be causing them, even if you have no cysts on your ovaries.
2. I had a CT scan to rule out adrenal problems en route to my PCOS diagnosis as well.
The barium I had tasted like banana, and it really made me feel nauseous. Luckily, that ended fairly quickly once I managed to choke it all down.
The needle they put in your arm during the scan itself is also sort of creepy, because it makes you feel this hot burning sensation in the back of your throat and in your crotch. Don't worry, this is normal, and my doctor warned me in advance so it was easy to deal with when it came.
The actual scan itself is nothing much. Can't really remember that bit well at all. I was too busy trying not to move from laughing over the weird heat sensation.
3. Don't panic! I highly recommend reading
The Savvy Woman's Guide to PCOS: The Many Faces Of A 21st Century Epidemic... And What You Can Do About It
by Elizabeth Lee Vliet. That should help answer a lot of your questions, and give you a better sense of what questions to ask your doctor. It's definitely a favorite among most of my friends with PCOS, too.

I've had two CTs. Each was a chest/abdomen/pelvis scan. One as an inpatient, one as an outpatient. I'll describe the outpatient time.
I picked up the barium constract drink a day before the scan. I think I was told to start drinking a few hours before but only to drink half. The bottle is about a quart. The other half would be drank after I arrived at the radiology place about an hour before the schedule scan. They called me in soon after I arrived. I undressed into a gown. As I waited, I drank the rest of the drink.
The drink is quite thick, like a thick milkshake. The drink has to be refrigerated too, so it'll be chilled when you're drinking it. Mine was banana-flavored. (I had a choice between berry or banana. As an inpatient, it was orange flavored.) It's not pleasant to drink, but it's not horrible. The flavoring only helps so much. There's not really a bad taste, but to me, it felt like drinking/eating something that wasn't food. (It's not food.)
For me, the thickness was what made it hard to drink. Protip: you may have better luck using a straw. That way, the whole drink doesn't come down on your face as you tip the cup. (A nurse taught me that. A different nurse on a separate occasion said it wouldn't help. He was wrong.)
When it was time for my scan, the nurse had me finish up the last of the drink quickly. I didn't finish all of it. I came close, but she said it didn't matter.
She had me lay down on the board, and put an IV in me. (I needed IV contrast.) The scanner is like a big donut. It's maybe a foot deep. It's not closed in at all like the MRI machine I had had before. She positioned me by moving the board, and then put the IV contrast in. You can feel the IV contrast moving through your body because it feels warm and tingly. It's quite odd, but not really unpleasant.
5 or 10 minutes later, I was done. Got dressed. Left. The End.
Oh yeah, and when you shit out the barium drink, it comes out the same way it went in. That's when you know it's really over.

It depends on the person, I don't use a straw as it makes drinking it take longer and I can not stand the taste of it.
I have had 10 CT scans in the past couple of years while dealing with having kidney cancer. The barium you have to drink sucks but, you can do it. I think of other things and down it as quick as I can. The colder it is the better.
After the scan you will want to drink more fluid than normal to flush the contrast out of your body. The scan itself will only take a couple of minutes, and is no problem at all. Good luck and I hope it is just something simple.

1. Stay away from Dr. Google, at least until you have a definite diagnosis.
2. PCOS is not that bad on the scale of things to have. Lots of people have it, and once you get it nailed down that it's probably PCOS, then you'll have a course of action, probably medicine, and you'll start feeling better soon.
3. Even if the medicine you take makes you sick to your stomach at first (happens to a lot of people with Metformin; the name brand is often better), if you can tough it out for a few weeks you'll be fine.
4. Cushing's, cancer, anything else, much less common. But even if you figure out you have them, you will be MUCH better off knowing now and starting treatment so you feel better soon.
5. You will be fine during the CT scan. If you get nervous, tell the nurse or the radiologist you're nervous. 90% of the time they'll be awesome and super helpful. And 10% of the time you'll get some jerk who doesn't get it, and then you can distract yourself from feeling nervous by being annoyed at the jerk who doesn't get it, and then the test will be over.

Sorry for my resuscitation of this ol' post of yours, but I wanted to tell you that I am in the exact same place as you. I am going to the endo. early next week in order to get the details for my ct-scan and results of the latest bloodwork. I've been researching this myself for a while My testosterone is low, but my DHEA-S is around yours. Everything points to an adrenal issue. I hope you'll make an update, and if you want to chat off MeFi, drop me a line.
All the best!

This thesis reports on the investigation of flow induced vibration in heat exchanger tube arrays. This work is in support of nuclear steam generator design, where attention is focussed on the tubes in the upper U-bend region which are subjected to cross-flow, and are therefore most susceptible to the destructive effects of flow-induced vibration. Results for this study are reported for a dynamically scaled model tube array in a parallel triangular layout, with a pitch over diameter ratio of P/D = 1.44, mounted in a clamped-free arrangement. This tube bundle was subjected to single and two-phase cross-flows of refrigerant R-11. The main motivation of this work is to present experimental results on fluidelastic instability, the mechanism that usually causes the most damaging vibrations, and to make comparisons with other data on the basis of non-dimensional similitude parameters to determine the effect of using different fluid mixtures to simulate the actual steam-water flow in the steam generator. A new method is proposed for calculating the average fluid density and equivalent flow velocity of the two-phase fluid, using a newly developed void fraction model which accounts for the difference in velocity between the gas and liquid phases. The fluidelastic data of several researchers, who used a variety of fluids, is re-examined using this new void fraction model and the results show a remarkable difference in trend between two common flow regimes, bubbly and intermittent flow. The latest flow regime map, developed by other researchers for predicting the two-phase flow regimes in the shell-side cross-flows in tube bundles, was applied to the fluidelastic results. This analysis showed that the sudden change in stability behavior which appeared in various data sets were directly related to a predicted change in flow regime from bubbly to intermittent flow. The two-fluid model used in the fluidelastic data analysis was developed by the present author from experimental measurements of void fraction in the horizontal tube bundle using the gamma densitometer. Measurements of the damping effect of two-phase flows were obtained in the present study and are presented and compared with previous data using an existing analysis technique. Damping measurements showed that the tube damping peaks at about 75% to 80% HEM void fraction, and decreases at lower and especially higher void fraction. The turbulence buffeting response of the tubes was measured and from this the non-dimensional spectrum of turbulent forces was determined and compared with existing data. In single phase flow, the data of the present study appears to plot higher than the extensive data points of Taylor et al. (1996), but are mostly within the upper bound determined by Taylor and Pettigrew (1999). In two-phase flow, the turbulent forces were analysed according to the new data reduction method of deLangre and Villard (1998). (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Best beginnings of children's books to start the new year
|Visit the Photo Place
WITH THE new year promising new beginnings for all of us, I was reminded of some of the best beginnings of favorite children's books.
"Where's Pa going with that ax?" has to be one of most famous first lines in children's literature. The answer to Fern's question is that her father is headed to the barn to dispose of the runt of the litter.
Even though she's a farmer's daughter, who's used to the realities of the barnyard, Fern has a soft heart, and she persuades her father to save Wilbur the pig. But as he grows up and fattens, Wilbur's life is still at risk, until Charlotte the spider discovers him.
The rest of "Charlotte's Web" by E.B. White is well known to all, and it lives up to its arresting first sentence.
"Are you there God? It's me, Margaret. We're moving today. I'm so scared God. I've never lived anywhere but here. Suppose I hate my new school? Suppose everybody there hates me? Please help me God. Don't let New Jersey be too horrible. Thank you."
The opening paragraph of Judy Blume's "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" began a new era in the world of children's books. Margaret's first-person narration of the fears and worries of a middle-class suburban girl, complete with her questions about religion, her bust size and her first period, made the book one of the first modern best sellers for children.
It also gave other writers the freedom to discuss issues that before then had been ignored in books for children.
Although Blume's books are no longer the most-requested titles on library shelves, as they were when I began my library career, they are still checked out with great regularity by the 9- to 12-year-old girls who make up her primary audience.
"Not every thirteen-year-old girl is accused of murder, brought to trial, and found guilty. But I was just such a girl, and my story is worth relating even if it did happen years ago." "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" by Avi starts with a jolt, and the drama never stops.

I'm at a bit of a loss with this article. Apple does not support 2600 MHz, but they do support the 800Hz that has been auctioned in many European countries. In fact most countries have requirements on 800 buildout before 2600 buildout.
Oh yeah right hmm idk i am too so yeah.
It's seriously messed up that they changed the port… With all of the docks and iPhone accessories, they're going to have to change it all… And unless they have some kind of adapter, which I know they will eventually, then it's gonna be hard for people with old iPhone accessories to use the new port…
Interesting article. I'm in Germany and looking to get an iPhone 5 so I'm glad I came across this piece. I saw that Apple said Deutsche Telekom was the 'supported' carrier here but I knew that both 02 and Vodafone had LTE tariffs for smartphones. I did't, however, know that these LTE networks wouldn't be compatible with the iPhone 5. I guess that if I want LTE here in Germany I'll have to go with Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile). That said, their tariffs are ridiculous – €70/month and you only get 120 minutes to 'all networks'. It's like being in 2001 again.
