Donor and Specimen Analysis
Donors are between the ages of 18 and 35 years. All donors either have been or are currently in college. The level of formal education spans the Bachelor's and Master's degrees, and a number of the donors are currently enrolled in graduate programs.
Racially, donors are primarily Caucasian, but also include Hispanic, Spanish, and Chinese ancestry. Genetic diseases are screened where warranted, and include Tay-Sachs, Sickle Cell, and cystic fibrosis. Chromosomal analysis is available upon physician request.
CryoGam donor sperm specimens typically average a post-thaw motility of 56% with a range of 30-85%. The average number of motile sperm per specimen is 26 million, with a range of approximately 15-50 million.
Seventy nine percent of all CryoGam donors who have been actively utilized for more than 6 months have documented pregnancies. Representative pregnancy rates for CryoGam donors have been calculated from data obtained from physicians and patients all over the United States and some internationally. The pregnancy outcome data is returned to us via pregnancy report forms. The pregnancy rate is determined from these reported pregnancies.
The data suggest that the specimen quality and conception rates for those women taking advantage of frozen sperm from CryoGam Colorado are at least equal to or exceed the values calculated for fecundity potential in the unassisted population. We attribute this quality to our uncompromising control of all aspects of the sperm banking process, including strict selection criteria for donors and rigorous sample preparation.
Additional Information Available on our Anonymous Donors

Starting in 2012 CryoGam began screening all new donors for Cystic Fibrosis.
CryoGam has always completed Thalassemia, Tay Sachs, Sickle Cell, and Karyotype testing on donors whose ethnic origin put them at a higher risk for these genetic diseases; however, we will begin to screen all new donors for Cystic Fibrosis. Some donors already have Cystic Fibrosis testing completed and more donors should be available soon. Please see our Donor List and current prices for more information.

Special to the Tribune

The Fire also had its first Naperville sellout, drawing 13,521 to watch a battle between the Eastern Conference's top team and the San Jose Earthquakes, the Western Conference leaders and Major League Soccer's defending champion.
About the only thing the Fire didn't pick up was its first regular-season home victory. Ronnie Ekelund's goal in the 60th minute on a penalty kick, set up by a tackle-from-behind call against the Fire's C.J. Brown, produced a 1-1 tie. That left the Fire 0-1-2 in the western suburbs and 1-4-13 in overtime games during the franchise's history.
"It's tough to play solid defense in two straight games here and then lose the victory on a penalty kick," Fire coach Bob Bradley said. "But I like the way we responded after they scored and thought it was a good, hard-fought game."
Rookie Kelly Gray scored the Fire's only goal in the 10th minute of the first half. The midfielder picked up a loose ball that had bounced off of the foot of San Jose's Jimmy Conrad at midfield, beat two defenders over the next 30 yards and drilled a 23-yard shot past San Jose goalie Joe Cannon.
With DaMarcus Beasley and Josh Wolff preparing for the World Cup's start this week and five other players sidelined by injury, young players such as Gray, Billy Sleeth and Jim Curtin have picked up the slack.
"I just got a second ball and knew I wasn't going to pass it once I controlled it," said Gray of his second goal of the year. "San Jose gave us our toughest challenge so far, but I didn't think we had the movement we had in the past."
San Jose's Ariel Graziani, who had scored six goals in five previous games against the Fire while playing with Dallas, had just one shot on goal. Ante Razov, the league's second-leading scorer, had three shots on goal for the Fire.
The tie gave the Earthquakes (5-3-2) a one-point lead over Colorado in the West, while the Fire (4-3-2) increased its lead to three points over Columbus.
The Crew will visit Naperville on Sunday.

A-line Taffeta Gown with One Shoulder Detail Style WG3327 31 34
The Dress When I walked into the store, I saw this on the display, and I had to try it on. I was only coming in to look at bridesmaid dresses. I'm glad I got this dress, I'm going to look like a princess! February 10, 2012
Amazing I went looking for my dress yesterday. I had my heart set on another dress and it was the first one I tried on -- I was disappointed with it. I then proceeded to try on 5 more dresses after that, without any of them being "the one". My mom picked this out and asked me to try it on. I told her I would but thought it looked WAY too expensive and was out of my budget. She told me it was cheaper than I thought. I tried it on and INSTANTLY fell in love and couldn't stop smiling! It made my waist look AMAZING. The consultant then put a sash with some sparkle around my waist. We then decided to put on another sash/belt with lots of sparkle. IN LOVE!! how could I NOT get it? I got it in ivory. I am SO excited for my wedding day! February 5, 2012
Best Dress I tried this one on and knew it was it! It's gorgeous and comfortable and super flattering! February 3, 2012

Album Review: ARCH ENEMY War Eternal
June 20th, 2014 at 3:30am
With Arch Enemy's new vocalist, former The Agonist vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, there was little questioning whether or not she'd be able to fill the big shoes left by former vocalist Angela Gossow. She came right out and answered all three questions with a big, reverberating yes.

Image Field Not Showing Attached Image
15 January 2011 at 5:48am
I'm having a problem. I have multiple Images Attached to a DataObject and an onBeforeWrite that builds relation to the image file based on Data on DataObject. This all works fine. however the when I open the DataObject in ModelAdmin the attached images don't show up in the ImageField. The images IDs associate properly as I'm using a custom getter for the Summary FIelds and I can see the images with it.
Has One Relation:
static $has_one = array (
"FrontWeb_Image" => "BetterImage",
"BackWeb_Image" => "BetterImage",
"FrontHi_Image" => "BetterImage",
"BackHi_Image" => "BetterImage",
Custom Getter for Summary Field:
public function getSummaryImage() {
if ($this->FrontWeb_ImageID) {
$image = DataObject::get_by_id("File", $this->FrontWeb_ImageID);
return $image->setWidth(100);
} else {
return "No Image Available";
BetterImage is just an image quality function based on http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2011/improving-image-quality-by-preventing-correctly-sized-images-being-resized/
The Thumbnails do show if I manually add the image from the ImageField.
If this is impossible another option I'm willing to use is listing the images in a CompositeField but custom getters won't work inside the getCMSFields function.
Thanks for any help

$image = DataObject::get_by_id("File", $this->FrontWeb_ImageID);
return $image->setWidth(100);
instead $image->setWidth(100); use getFormattedImage() like so:
return $image->getFormattedImage('SetWidth', 100);

Help Identifying These Trees for My Zone 5 Garden?
Good Questions
What kind of trees are these? My wife and I are planning on planting trees for privacy along our back fence. We were leaning towards Bamboo as we've found some cold hardy ones online for zone 5. These trees (pictured) caught our eye off a website, how close can you plant trees together and how tall will they grow? We aren't fans of big bulky evergreen trees and who needs privacy when its freezing out. Thanks for any information you can provide.
Sent by Matt (Zone 5, 60540)
Editor: Leave your suggestions for Matt in the comments -- thanks!
• Got a gardening question? Send us yours with pic attachments here (those with pics get answered first).

These trees look like "charmes pyramidal" or "Carpinus betulus 'Fastigiata'"
^^ Agreed. Fastigiate European Hornbeam. There are a number of species with fastigiate cultivars including oaks, tulip poplars, and maples.
Charmes (in french) are fast growing but very tolerant of being cut and they are very well suited to topiary. Their foliage is marcescent (do not fall in the autumn but at the end of winter).
Unfortunately the winter foliage is not very decorative. By cons, in the spring, new leaves are a beautiful green spruce.
Sorry for my english...
Be careful about the bamboo - some towns require a permit in order to plant bamboo because they can become extremely invasive. I think black bamboo is the worst, but I'm not sure. You might be required to dig a barrier to prevent the bamboo from going into neighbors' yards.
Hard to tell what those trees could be without a closeup of the leaves. They might be some sort of ornamental fruit tree. I am guessing that this is their fall color.
You should go to your local nursery and talk to them about what grows best in your area and what they recommend for the conditions in your yard. Is your soil wet or dry? How much sun do you get? Is it morning or afternoon sun? Is the site windy? How big do you want the trees to get? Do you want spring blooms? Fall color? Are you or your neighbors going to be bothered by fruit dropping out of the tree? Or maybe you want a fruit tree?
I would recommend looking into native trees because they are usually hardier and accustomed to your conditions.
Some Bamboos are considered invasive in some areas, you should check on that too before buying.
How close you plant the trees depends on how big they get and how much privacy you want. Since you are looking for more of a hedge effect, I would plant them pretty closely.
You should also look into large shrubs, they don't have trunks, so you have greenery closer to the ground - if you want to hide your fence, that might actually look better.
And a word of caution: I would recommend against ordering trees online. I couldn't resist an offer for a dirt cheap tree and received a six foot stick with no branches that my neighbors dubbed the "fishing pole tree". You get what you pay for.....
DON'T DO BAMBOO!!! It's like mint on steroids. It will take over everything and it's quite distructive.
Some types of bamboo can crack a foundation.
The best course of action is to take the photo (and others) to a reputable garden center and describe what you are after. They should be able to recommend the best species for your area that will effectively do what you want them to do. They should also be able to give you care and pruning tips.
To me it looks like forsythia that has been trimmed in a specific way
I agree with the other commentators that is definitely an hornbeam and possibly a 'Fastigita'. But, if you can find it in your area I'd advise you to choose the Carpinus betulus 'Frans Fontaine'
because the 'Fastigiata' does grow and than you have a problem.
If you can't find the 'Frans Fonataine' than you can opt for clipping. Than I'd advise you to get a straight hornbeam. . It looks better and most probably would be cheaper (I don't know how is with the prices over here).
In UK the winter foliage, especially if the trees are clipped, doesn't actually looks bad:
In northern Italy on the other hand looks bad.
I think it depends if the plants get stressed by draught in summer or not. I don't know how is in your area.
Do not plant bamboo!! You WILL regret it and your neighbors may regret having you as a neighbor after it gets 'established'!
My first thought with that brilliant shade of yellow of the foliage was a ginkgo, but a hornbeam also makes sense.
Either way -- DO NOT PLANT BAMBOO. I repeat: do not plant bamboo. It takes over completely and you ultimately regret it but you will never, ever be able to get rid of it.
I agree with a big NO on bamboo...my neighbors have it and it's completely taken over (and knocked down) the fence between us and grown through my yard in the 5 months I've lived there...
Are you looking for colored foliage year round? Or just spring/fall interest? How tall? Upright shape like those? I hesitate to plant anything "big" that close to any kind of building foundation or plumbing/sewers - roots can cause so much more damage than you'd expect!
Look for natives, be realistic about maintenance (don't plant a tree that gets 30' in a 15' spot and expect to just trim trim trim - it can be hard on the tree and a lot of work for you). Check your exposure (how many hours of sun? lots of wind or protected? dry soil or soggy? clay, loam or sand?) and then go to a good local nursery. Tell them your conditions (bring a few photos if possible) and your wishlist for size/color/flowers/fruit and a good nursery can help you only have to plant once and help you keep maintenance down!
re bamboo - isn't there noninvasive types of bamboo? I recall doing research online on clumping v. running (invasive) bamboo.
there are clumping bamboo that won't spread. it goes up but not out. the root system stays contained.
I don't believe the so called non-invasive bamboo is truly non-invasive.
The only bamboos that grow in Zone 5 are all horribly invasive.
DO NOT PLANT BAMBOOS, ever!!!
Yes, please listen to the wise sages above.
And also, the tree suggestions are all good ones and probably spot on.
Pruned forsythia they are not.
Another tree to consider is the columnar Bradford Pear.
It maxes out at about 6-8' wide by about 16-20' tall...would that work in your spot?
They're not fussy about conditions other than full sun (meaning 6+ hours or more of direct contact sun).
And yes, of course take this photo with you to the nursery center and explain what you want.
Find out where the landscapers get their plant material and go there.
Good luck with your project!
If you like the look of bamboo, but are worried about it being invasive, you can plant it in containers. We have large, rectangular troughs planted with bamboo in front of a willow fence. It looks good year-round, gives privacy without blocking sunlight, and makes that lovely rustling sound when the wind blows. You do need to water regularly during the dry season, but it is hardy (we're in the UK, where it falls below freezing in Winter) and it grows fairly slowly in the containers.
I also think it is a type of hornbeam. We have something very similar as street trees, zone 5. They don't get terribly tall and have a naturally compact shape. I like how these are limbed up and provide structure.
oh my. calm down about the bamboo, people. there are different varieties of bamboo, and not all are extremely invasive. The extremely invasive variety CAN be contained also, it just is a bit more legwork to install --- you have to trench and put in an underground barrier to contain the roots. (instructions from Mike McGrath of You Bet Your Garden: http://www.gardensalive.com/article.asp?ai=608) With that in mind, underground barriers can be a pretty fascinating tool to use --- if you visit Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey, there is a fabulous piece of sculpture made of bamboo, like a bamboo cave thing that you can walk through, and that was done by containing the roots in an underground design. Pretty fabulous. (Grounds for Sculpture: http://www.gardensalive.com/article.asp?ai=608)
it looks like poplars to me, I dont know which specific subspecies though. I agree with everyone else, stay away from bamboo....
My only concerns is that in planting the trees this close together, you're going to have to replace them fairly frequently (every 3-5 years) as their roots grow together and they crowd each other out or get nutrient starved. you might be better off in that instance with potted trees that you could then plant elsewhere or sell and replace when their roots get too big. Way easier than digging them out.

~~~Well who knew?~~~
Having just bought a pack of Value Health Ibuprofen from Boots for the princely sum of 35p for 16 tablets I thought I would look into the history of the drug. I had always associated it with Nurofen but in fact it was discovered by the research arm of Boots in the 1960s. It was first used as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis on prescription in 1969 and later became available as an over the counter pain relief. Boots was awarded the Queen's Award for Technical Achievement for its development in 1987.
~~~How it can help~~~
As well as an all round pain killer (it can be used to relieve headaches, muscular pain, period pain, dental pain etc), Ibuprofen can reduce inflammation, fever and cold symptoms.
~~~How to Use~~~
Take two tablets with water. Repeat as necessary every 4 hours up to a maximum of 6 tablet in any 24 hours.
~~~Does it work?~~~
Like many medicines, ibuprofen will suit some people but not others. I am prone to tension headaches and migraines. For me, ibuprofen really does help. I felt a headache coming on today while I was at work and I popped out to the nearest Boots to get something to help. I bought the Value Health version of Ibuprofen and popped a couple of pills when I got back to the office. Within 20 minutes the headache had disappeared.
Last week, I was down with my daughter helping her to move house and I felt a headache coming on. My daughter dashed off to the local Co-op for me and came back with a box of Nuforen. They worked just as well and as quickly but at £1.99 cost over 5 times as much. Why pay more than you need to??
Some people are allergic to ibuprofen including my mother who once alarmed my father by fainting on the way to the bathroom one evening having taken some ibuprofen to help a headache. Luckily the paramedics were quickly on the scene and she soon came round with no lasting ill effect. Needless to say she now uses alternative pain relief.
You should also not take ibuprofen if you ever had a stomach ulcer or suffered from any stomach bleeding or perforation.
It works for me and for 35p is exceptionally good value for quick and effective pain relief. I really must get into the habit of having a packet in my handbag just in case.
I find that whenever I have any kind of aches or pains, ibuprofen is always my first choice of pain killers. They seem to work much better than paracetamol and other pain killer tablets, for me personally. When realising I need to stock up on some more for my medicine box I popped into boots and picked up some of their own brand 200mg ibuprofen tablets for around 40p.
These can be used for headaches, backache, migraine, period pain, dental pain, muscular pain, fever and symptoms of cold and flu. Each tablet contains 200mg Ibuprofen. There are also stronger doses available such as 400mg if necessary.
The tablets are packaged in a very plain, basic, red and white box containing 16 tablets and a leaflet with information on how to use, dosage, ingredients and precautions. The tablets themselves are small, white and coated. The fact that they are coated makes them much easier to swallow as they just slide down the throat , which is important as I know lots of people struggle to swallow tablets whole. I have to take these two at a time for them to be be effective and they usually take around 15-20 minutes to start taking effect.
These tablets work brilliantly for me and I would definitely recommend them. They are cheap and work well, what more could you need in a pain killer? Why spend more money on a well known brand when these do the exact same job at a cheaper price?
I am not a person who is loyal to any one brand of painkiller and I do think that over the years I must have tried about every sort out there. Last time I bought a packet of Boots Value Health own brand Ibuprofen tablets was when I was in the Metro Centre in Gateshead at Easter time this year with my daughter. We were looking for a party outfit and we'd been shopping for ages, without much success, and I had one of my screaming headaches. I popped into Bots and picked these up for around 40p, I think, at the time.
The box is very plain and it's basically white with the name on the front and a small sheet of instructions inside, along with 16 small white coated pills. Each tablet contains 200mg of active ingredient and though the instructions say you can take only one if your pain is on the mild side, I personally always have to take 2 of these before they have any noticeable effect on me.
They are small tablets, as I say, and as they are coated I always find that they are very easy to swallow and go down the back of the throat easily. They normally take me anywhere between 20 minutes to half an hour before I notice any effect and then the pain relief just happens slowly, until I suddenly realise that I don't have a headache or a period cramp any more.
They are really a very effective tablet and for me personally, I'd pick these any time over the much ore highly priced branded painkillers (which basically contain the same active ingredients anyway). It's been a little while since I bought any of these but I would certainly have no hesitation in using them again or indeed, recommending them.
~Ibuprofen Tablets~
These tablets form part of the Value Health range offered by Boots.
These ibuprofen tablets are designed to relieve various pain including muscular, high temperature, period pain, headache and symptoms associated with having a cold or the flu. They cannot be taken by those who have had a stomach ulcer, are allergic to these type of painkillers or if you are pregnant - always read the label. You should consult your doctor if you have certain health issues including asthma.
Each tablet contains 200mg of ibuprofen alongside sucrose and lactose. They can be taken by adults over 12 years of age and the recommended dosage is 1 or 2 tablets up to 3 times in a 24 hour period. It is recommended that you take before or after food.
The tablets are available in packs of 16. The box is very basic in design - white and red with the important product information noted. Inside, you receive an information leaflet which is easy to follow and a foil backed packet of 16 tablets which need popped through.
These ibuprofen tablets can only be bought from Boots the chemist and are priced at 40p for a pack of 16.
~My Thoughts~
When it comes to ibuprofen, I usually buy Nurofen but when I noticed these at 40p a few months ago, I picked up a box from the local (tiny) Boots store just down the road from me. I favour ibuprofen over paracetamol or aspirin for some reason and these represent really good value for money as you would normally pay at least £1.00 for a pack of Nurofen half the size. These shouldn't be taken long term and if you are constantly in pain then definitely see a doctor/dentist etc.
Both myself and fiancé have used these for various reasons. My main use for them has been alternating with paracetamol for period pain which I suffer with quite badly for one week each month. I don't find that paracetamol or ibuprofen on its own to provide enough relief for the serious cramping. The tablets are a white, round and with no markings. They aren't huge - about average for a painkiller and they have a sugar film coating which makes them more pleasant to consume. I find them very easy to swallow as they slip down smoothly leaving no unpleasant taste.
These ibuprofen tablets get to work fairly quickly but perhaps not to the same speed as branded versions. I would say that within 30 minutes, the pain killing effects start to become evident. These tablets are effective at providing my body with the relief it needs to allow to me continue on with my day. I suffer with the occasional headache which starts to subside perfectly fine after taking two of these tablets. They don't provide much relief from a major migraine though - something stronger is definitely needed. If I have really bad toothache, I usually opt for co-codamol as normally painkillers don't touch it but any mild, niggling toothache is relieved quickly with these tablets.
I find ibuprofen best for relieving a high temperature. When I become unwell with a bug, I know that I need to let it run through my system so now try to avoid tablets which try to prevent it (sorry) but the temperature that goes alongside the bug is horrible and I take these tablets to reduce it. I'm actually in bed feeling rotten just now and when I woke up, I was burning up. I took two ibuprofen around an hour ago and find that they have reduced my fever quite a bit. I still feel rotten but I cannot expect two tablets to get rid of every ache and pain in my body at the same time.
I would say that these ibuprofen tablets work effectively for mild to moderate pain. They get to work quickly and provide a few hours relief from discomfort for various pains. For really bad pains, I would choose to alternate with paracetamol for better relief but I do find that these are great for mild pain. I haven't experienced any side effects from taking these tablets and find them to be just as good as Nurofen. I have taken them up to three times per day if pain has been consistent but generally two tablets sorts out any eliminates any pain I have.
I would recommend these tablets as they represent excellent value for money and I see no reason to pay more for standard ibuprofen. I took them on holiday just in case they were needed and carry a pack around with me for pain emergencies.
Thanks for reading :)
I am not really fussy when it comes to purchasing pain relief and as I like to always have a pack of paracetamol and a pack of ibuprofen at home I tend to look to the stores own brands as opposed to brands such as Nurofen which are much more expensive for basically the same product. The pack of ibuprofen I have currently is Boot's value health brand and this is my review of that product.
The Boots value health branded ibuprofen tablets look like a value product when they are sat on the shelf. They come in a thin white and red cardboard box which features simple black writing telling us the product name and such like. On the back of the box information on the uses of the product, how to use and warnings are given in a simple and direct way. Personally I don't mind the fact that the packaging used for this product looks basic and cheap because I would rather pay pennies for a product such as this than have nicer looking packaging and pay pounds personally.
Inside the box you get an instruction leaflet which I never really bother reading anymore because the information I need is on the back of the box and also once you take ibuprofen once you kind of know what you are doing with them anyway! There is also a plastic strip containing sixteen ibuprofen tablets which are held in with a foil back. The tablets are all held on the one strip but if you wanted to take some out with you you could just cut some off if you so desired. I tend to have a spare packet in my work bag as well as one in the medicine box at home anyway.
These tablets are not suitable for children under twelve years of age and adults, the elderly and children over twelve can take one to two of these 200mg ibuprofen tablets up to three times a day as required. You should leave at least four hours in between doses and you should not exceed six tablets in twenty four hours. You are advised to take these tablets with or after food and I would say that this is very good advice because ibuprofen can be quite harsh on the stomach but seems less so if you have had something to eat before or with them. I try to avoid taking these on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.
I find these tablets are quite good at dealing with mild to moderate pain. The tablets can be useful when dealing with things such as backache, toothache, period pain, headaches, migraine or even for cold and flu relief. I find that ibuprofen for me work quicker than paracetamol and feel that bit stronger and so I will turn to these if I am experiencing a more intense kind of pain and they will generally get to work quite quickly, within half an hour, and more often than not will remove my pain. If I am dealing with a more severe pain I tend to opt for the stronger 400mg ibuprofen though.
These tablets cost just 40p for the sixteen tablets and when you compare this to £2.10 for sixteen basic Nurofen tablets you are getting a massive saving! I will continue to buy this brand as it works well and is much cheaper than brand named products.
Thank you for reading my review!
~*~*~ Boots Value Heath Ibuprofen ~*~*~
~ What is it? ~
These are Boots own value branded Ibuprofen tablets. The come in a pack of 16.
Ibuprofen is generally used for fever, pain and inflammatory problems.
~ Price & Availability ~
Being a Boots own brand product these can be bought at Boots stores and again with them being a value product they are a lot cheaper than branded varieties of ibuprofen tablets and cost just 40p a pack, that works out as just 2.5p a tablet - Bargain!
~ When and why I use ibuprofen ~
At a certain time of the month I get really bad period pains, I get really bad cramping in my stomach as well as pains running down the tops of my legs and also back pain and I find that paracetamol alone just doesn't touch the pain so I tend to take paracetamol and ibuprofen together and this does work and I can then carry on with my day as normal ... Until the effects wear off at least!
I also took ibuprofen after having a tattoo done on my foot as it helps with pain and swelling and it certainly did help with that. My foot was really swollen, and I stupidly had it done two weeks before Christmas the year before last, not only did my foot swell up, it was also really sore and painful. Paracetamol wasn't really doing much for me but then I started taking ibuprofen instead as well as rubbing Bepanthen into the tattoo and I found that within a week my foot looked relatively normal again!
I will very rarely buy branded medicines for myself, often opting for cheaper unbranded products and that is how I came to buy these. I have bought them a few times but I am not brand loyal at all and only buy these if I remember I am running low and happen to be in a Boots store.
I find that they work brilliantly, as good as any other brands I have tried, be that branded or other value/cheaper brands. I did start buying Nurofen capsules in Poundland but these were £1 for 8 capsules so this wasn't really good value, where these are just 40p and whilst I realise they are not a liquid filled capsule and they are a simple white tablet they work just as good as the capsules.
I do tend to buy two packs at a time and take around 8 tablets a month so they work out as great value for me.
I also take them if I am feeling unwell or have a migraine along with paracetamol but I do on occasion take them alone for a mild headache and they will cure it in under an hour.
When taking them for period pains I find that I feel almost normal within half hour and the effects last a good 4 hours after taking them. I tend to need them most for the first two days of my period and then find I don't need anything after that.
These Boots Value tablets are brilliant value for money and come in the usual blister packs, they are easy enough to pop out and I find they are easy to swallow with the help of a glass of water. I also tend to take ibuprofen on a full(ish) stomach.
~ Safety ~
Only suitable for children and adults over the age of 12 years.
Each tablet contains 200mg ibuprofen.
Take one to two tablets every four hours, do not exceed six in any 24 hour period.
Do not use if you have ever had stomach bleeding or perforation after taking a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine. Do not use if you have ever had a stomach ulcer, or are allergic to ibuprofen or aspirin.
~ Blurb on Boots.com ~
This product belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines
which act to relieve pain and reduce inflammation (swelling), they also act to reduce a fever.
It can be used for the relief of headache, rheumatic and muscular pain, pain from non-serious
arthritic conditions, backache, migraine, period pain, dental pain and neuralgia. It can also be used to
reduce fever and relieve the symptoms of colds and flu.
~ Overall ~
I have been very impressed when using these tablets they prove to be a quick and effect way of remedying any pain.
40p well spent.
Thanks for reading :o) x

ANTIGO (WAOW) - The animal clinic where a veterinarian accused of stealing drugs worked said Friday the veterinarian was suspended in March and subsequently fired.
"The Antigo Veterinary Clinic has taken all measures to ensure the safety of their patients and is taking legal action against Dr. Blandin," the clinic said in a statement.
Benjamin Blandin, 27, was charged with two counts of felony possession of narcotic drugs without a prescription and three misdemeanors, including mistreating animals, in Langlade County Circuit Court. He is scheduled to make his initial appearance July 15 at 1:30 p.m.
The criminal complaint said Blandin stole morphine intended for animal use and watered down the remaining drugs to cover up the theft.
The veterinarian told his employer that his "drug issues" went back to using Vicodin as a college football player, the document said.
ANTIGO (WAOW) – A one-time veterinarian in Antigo stole morphine intended for animal use and watered down the remaining drugs to cover up the theft, according to a criminal complaint.
The veterinarian told his employer, Antigo Vet Clinic, that his "drug issues" went back to using Vicodin as a college football player, the document said.
According to the complaint, a co-worker discovered Blandin taking drugs from the clinic's primary drug supply box March 1.
Three days later, Blandin told the clinic's owner that he had been stealing morphine, hydromorphone and hydrocodone for a "bit over a month" and added water back to the bottles, diluting the drugs that were administered to animals, the complaint said.
Blandin told Dr. Sarah Lautzenhiser that he stole the drugs daily, the complaint said.
According to the complaint, Lautzenhiser told investigators the diluted drugs may have affected some animal surgeries, including one where her own cat suffered an "anesthesia crisis" and needed to be revived, the complaint said.
No attorney was listed for Blandin on online court records.
Blandin, who was fired from the clinic in April, now lives in Nobelsville, Ind., the complaint said.
The maximum punishment for each felony drug charge is up to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Field Notes: Asparagus Season and Recipe for Vegan Hollandaise Sauce
Posted by Erin McKinney on 05/12 at 04:08 PM
There are two times during the asparagus season that I enjoy picking it: the first time and the last time. Don't get me wrong; I love asparagus in every way, shape, and form on my dinner plate, but the tedious task of picking it twice a day can make a person jump for joy at the end of its season.
Asparagus is always the star of the spring season. It's a perfect addition to just about any meal, which makes it a real treat. Since we are picking it fresh every day, our CSA members are truly getting it at its most flavorful and nutrient packed state.
On another note, the greens coming from the high tunnel are just so gorgeous right now. They are actually loving this weather since there isn't much hot sun beating down on them, making it too hot in their high tunnel. I can't wait to grate a beet over some salad with some Tait Farm Foods ginger vinaigrette! (Can you tell that the harder we work the hungrier we get?)
Vegan Hollandaise Sauce with Asparagus from Steve Spanelli
1/2 cup silken tofu
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons corn oil
2 lb asparagus, trimmed
Heat tofu on a plate in the microwave for 45 seconds. Transfer to a food processor, and purée until smooth.
Add lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt, cayenne, and turmeric; pulse until well combined.
With food processor still running, add oil in a steady stream to finish sauce.
Steam asparagus until just crisp-tender. Top with sauce and serve.

Thank you, Tallahassee.
Send in your old solid-color shirts/tanks and I'll deck them out with our name.
A shift: My attempt to write less about myself, my world, my petty struggles,
and more about the bigger picture, the world as a whole, the people in it;
the point of it all.

Sorta rough, but satisfactory songs about being in high school and being pissed off. - B
Today, Dan wrote a song in a major key.
It's a big deal.
The reason we can live so contently
Is we never get a glance at what we could be .
Ya dig?
This is fantastic.
I can't wait to hear the rest of this record.
Played a show at the SLC on FSU campus tonight. It was interesting. My hi hat stand collapsed 2 minutes into the song but I kept on thuggin. We all enjoyed it and now I'm actually kinda stoked about the show on Tuesday. And we also got radio play in Miami on an FIU student-run station, which is pretty neat. I need a day off from drumming. My wrist is fucked.
Going up on our Facebook now!
Please reblog! Let us know what you think!
We were one of four Tallahassee bands to be invited to play Battle of the Bands at Engine Room March 2nd.
How 'bout them apples?
I will hibernate in a bass drum, with an iPod that only has the Mutemath discography. As I am in deep slumber, my subconscious mind will learn every beat to every Mutemath song ever. I will awaken several months later and maybe, just maybe I'll have an ounce of Darren King's talent.
Finished tracking drums (Brian nailed it).
Tracked guitar parts (I guess I nailed it).
Even finished up bass (James nailed it).
Of course, we grabbed a little Pitaria to keep the creative juices flowing.
My recording rig made me warm and fuzzy inside.
Robbie's still keeping us in line.
"Do you want me to grab it after you finish? He did it for me earlier. What's so funny?"
Tracking vocals and doing some over-dubbing tomorrow night. Hope to have this thing cranked out by the end of the week!
Our first day in the studio went swimmingly. We knocked out a scratch track (after fumbling around tempo changes for an hour or two) and Brian tracked about half of his drum part. (The poor guy recorded non-stop for two hours. What a champ.)
*Side note: Don't touch a violist's viola, as bad things will follow.
Robby's doing a great job of keeping us focused, and making sure everything sounds as good as possible. We're really stoked to be working with him. We're heading back today to finish up drums and hopefully guitars.
And Dan will throw down more poses.
Thanks for following us, by the way. I'm sure you have better things to do than sit around and read about our mundane lives, and it means a lot that you're at least somewhat invested in our future. We'd really like to think we've got something going here, and we're glad you're along for the ride!
Alright, enough with the sappy stuff. Back to the studio. More updates soon.
Today was our last day of prep before going into the studio next Friday. We couldn't be more excited about having something to share with all of you.
We spent our day practicing, eating delivery Digiorno pizza, searching for fire wood, hanging out in Target, doing a photoshoot (thanks Kaitlin!) , and hanging at our favorite local pizza shop, Momo's.
(I know what you're thinking: Pizza twice in one day. What can I say? We like to live on the edge.)
At one point, we also discussed our pre-teen taste in music, the consensus lying somewhere between Linkin Park, Godsmack, and Frank Sinatra. But I digress…
Photos up on the Facebook soon. Next update from the studio!
See you soon,
We cannot wait to have something to show for all this.

Many people have already written about this woman, Froma Harrop.: I give my take in the video below. It is pretty ironic that she calls for a civility when she says the most horrible things about her fellow citizens.

Sense-Sational Gardening (Age 14 & Up)
A fun spin on indoor gardening, participants in this new TR program learned about different environments in which plants grow. They planted seeds, transplanted flowers and cared for growing sunflowers and dahlias over the course of the program. Participants also learned how to preserve a flower's natural color by using a flower press and completed various craft projects.
Sense-Sational Gardening would not be complete without an appeal to the senses! Participants discovered unique plants like honeysuckle and aloe; herbs such as lavender, rosemary, sage, and mint. They even learned how to use mint leaves to make Mojito's (non-alcoholic)!
For the Love of Food (Age 9 - 14)
We introduced "For the Love of Food!" as a way for kids to learn some introductory lessons about being in the kitchen, how to read recipes and the chance to taste some yummy dishes! Each class met in the kitchen at Kempsville Rec Center where we reviewed a kitchen topic and then dove into gathering supplies and getting to work. Topics for each class included Kitchen Safety, Healthy Snacks, How I Can Help in the Kitchen, Table Manners, Setting My Place and Making a Grocery List. We had a great time learning, exploring our culinary skills and tasting the fruits of our labor! One of our favorite dishes was Spaghetti Cupcakes! Hats off to the chefs!
In late January, we launched our first ever online Program Participation and Interest Survey. Respondents indicated an overwhelming interest for more offerings in current TR aquatic programs, Around Town leisure programs and the summer Camp Explore program. There was also a lot of interest in developing new one-time special events in areas such as aquatics, holiday themed programs and arts & crafts. A surprising theme was the amount of interest in general programs for participants age 22 and older during the day, especially in the summer and on weekends.
The information gained from this survey is being reviewed in detail and we intend to develop long and short term goals for program development and redesign. We were able to act immediately on some feedback and with assistance from Aquatics, hosted a TR Friendly Float Day in April. Keep an eye out for more special events!
We will be holding registration on Saturday, June 4 at Kempsville Recreation Center room 103 (TR office) from 9 am to noon. In addition to summer programs, you can also register for fall swim programs at this time.

Strangest Gold Market News of 2014: Top Refinery Loses 2.7 Tons of Gold
Gold market news, July 30, 2014: On July 25, South Africa's Rand Refinery - the biggest processing facility for gold in Africa and one of the biggest worldwide - announced it will receive a shareholder loan to make up for "lost" 87,000 ounces (2.7 tons) of physical gold in its inventory. The press release describes what amounts to a $112 million loss at current gold prices, making this one of the strangest stories to hit the gold market in 2014.This is incredibly embarrassing...
Why Gold Mining Stocks Are Soaring in 2014
Gold prices have notched a 7% rise year to date as of late July, but the yellow metal has had its fair share of ups and downs in 2014.
Gold mining stocks, on the other hand, have risen higher, and posted some eye-popping returns for investors.Money Morning Global Resource Specialist Peter Krauth explains what's going on...
Our New Best Stocks to Buy List Focuses on Commodities, Small Caps, Dividends
While commodities have been dominating our best stocks to buy lists lately, that's not the only asset hitting our radar...
Our new best stocks list includes a blue chip giant that's beating the broader market by roughly 50%, five small-cap stocks on the rise, and one generic drug-maker to buy now.Get these, plus a full-year outlook on dividend stocks, in this roundup...
Profit from These Two Gold Mining Stocks as Prices Rise
With gold prices crossing $1,300 an ounce last week, Money Morning's Resource Specialist Peter Krauth has pinpointed gold mining stocks that are set to cash in on the rising price of gold.
Gold prices suffered in 2013, down 28%. But these gold mining companies strengthened their operations during a down gold market, and are poised to capitalize with gold prices recovering.As gold prices climb, these companies offer great profit opportunities...
Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM) Stock Will Shine Again
Owning some gold has long been a part of the Money Morning investing philosophy. After all, gold offers some insurance against the dollar-debasing policies of the U.S. Federal Reserve.
One of the easiest ways to acquire the yellow metal is to buy a gold mining stock such as Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE: NEM).
At first glance, investing in any gold mining stock looks like a lousy idea. Over the past year, nearly all gold mining stocks have plummeted along with the gold prices - but much further.See how gold mining stocks will rebound here...
My Two Favorite Gold Mining Stocks
With the world's central banker's printing money like mad, you would think investing in gold mining stocks would be a no-brainer.
Yet even with these misguided policies cheapening the dollar, the Market Vectors Gold Miners Index (NYSE: GDX) is down 40% from its peak last September and 48% from its all-time highs in 2011.
So why all the pain for investors?
Better yet, have any gold miners fallen so far they are screaming buys right now?
Here's the deal... Read More...
With Gold Prices Flat, It's Time for Junior Miners to Shine
After a heady couple of years, the Midas metal has lost momentum. Gold prices have slipped about 2% in July to fall just below where they started in 2012.
And gold mining stocks have felt the brunt of it more than the metal itself.
For the past few years, the miners have been chasing the metal. The general expectation was that the mining stocks would eventually catch up to gold prices.
But now it looks like the metal is retreating to meet the miners.
The Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners (NYSE: GDXJ), an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that represents the junior miners, is off more than 25% since its inception in late 2009. The big miners represented by Market Vectors Gold Miners (NYSE: GDX) are essentially flat over the same period.
Yet gold prices, as measured by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD) are up almost 40% in the same general timeframe.
So where does that leave gold investors?
Well, it's probably not an ideal time to buy gold if it's pausing here (which it seems to be doing) after a multi-year rally.
And the big miners have their hands full as gold prices have stalled and gold demand has fallen. They may be fully valued, at least for the time being, since they won't be undertaking new projects or acquisitions until things get better or worse.
Beat Gold Prices with a Junior MinerThat leaves the junior miners. They're undervalued enough that they still have some headroom, even given today's tepid metals market. And if things start to improve, they become buyout targets for the big miners.

Everything You Need to Know About Junior Mining Stocks
Let's make something clear up front: junior mining stocks are not for the faint of heart.
Legendary investor Doug Casey calls them "the most volatile stocks on earth."
They can and do regularly undergo massive swings, both positive and negative.
It's a really tough business. Many flame out.
But all it takes is just one 10-bagger to make up for all the dogs in the pound.
Thanks to a new discovery, a takeover bid or full-blown investment mania, it's not uncommon for some of these stocks to return as much as 1,000%, 5,000%, and even 10,000%.
Those are not typos. In fact, there are countless examples.
Aber Resources was a $3 stock in 1993 before it made a big diamond discovery. Four years later, the stock hit $28/share, handing early investors over 900% returns.
Then there's Diamond Fields Resources. Its shares were $4 before geologists made a massive nickel discovery in 1994. Not long after, the stock hit a pre-split equivalent of $160 for a 4,000% return.
That phenomenal 4,000% return was repeated in 2006, when Aurelian Resources Inc. made a high-grade gold discovery in Ecuador. Shares of the junior miner went from $0.89 to almost $40.
So what makes a stock a "junior miner"?
In a pure sense, junior mining companies have market caps somewhere between $5 million and $100 million.
But here's the thing the makes them not for the faint of heart.
Usually, junior miners don't make any money. They just raise money from investors to explore properties for gold, silver, base metals, oil, gas, potash, or uranium, just to name a few.
And even if they make a significant find, junior miners rarely develop it themselves. Instead they sell the project to a major miner, who can more easily raise the required funding and has the experience to build and operate a mine.
OK, so now you're pumped with the idea that one of these little mining companies could help you retire in two years.
And you're right, they can. But not so fast.
The truth is you need to approach this mining subsector with a game plan -- an investment "toolkit" if you will - to help you to cast aside the dogs and focus on the "diamonds in the rough."
Essentially, there are four main areas you need to vet in order to decide if a given junior miner is one to add to your portfolio.

Mining Stocks: Will the Downturn Last?
Over the last twelve months mining stocks have substantially underperformed the market.
In fact, the Standard and Poor's Metals and Mining select industry index (INDEXSP: SPSIMM) is off 35% in the past year, while the overall market is up 2.5%.
Admittedly commodities prices are down, but only by 14% in the last year. Meanwhile, the cost of some commodities -- notably gold prices -- are much higher than they were.
Given the buoyancy of global monetary policy, this is surprising. For investors, the big question is: will the downturn in mining stocks last?
It truth, though, when you look more closely at operating numbers, the weakness in commodity shares is easier to explain.
Mining Stocks: Breaking Down Barrick GoldFor example, Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX), a gold and copper miner that is generally well regarded, posted first quarter earnings which were up just 3% from the previous year. That was a surprisingly weak performance given that its gold sales price was up 22% -- even though its copper price realized was down 11%.
However, gold cash mining costs were up 25% and copper cash mining costs were up a startling 66%. So even though copper production and sales were also up sharply, margins on those sales were down 43%.
In other words, even though Barrick enjoyed a favorable operating quarter with good prices, mining costs for both gold and copper were up so sharply that Barrick enjoyed little benefit from this success.
The same picture is clearly seen around the mining sector, and indeed in the related energy sector.
Strong sales prices over the last few years have had two effects.

Now is the Season for Investing in Gold-mining Stocks
If you're not investing in gold-mining stocks now, you should be.
Why now?
Analysts at TIS Group reminded me last week that not only are gold-mining stocks very cheap now versus gold bullion, but this also happens to be the best time of the year to buy the stocks.
The gold miners' cycle usually bottoms in August and peaks in March, putting us just a bit after the start of the strong period.
That makes it buying season for gold-mining stocks.
Play Gold's Rise by Investing in Gold-Mining StocksThe rise in gold miners during last year's buying season was fairly dramatic.
From Aug. 31 last year through the following 14 weeks, the Market Vectors ETF Trust(NYSE: GDX), which is comprised of the larger miners, was up 28%, while Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners(NYSE: GDXJ), comprised of smaller producers, was up 48%.
Members of my service captured a bunch of those gains. That was at a time when gold itself was up only 20%, but looking back that was when gold started its trajectory from $1,300 in November to almost $1,900 now.
Gold-mining stocks then went sideways in anticipation of the end of the U.S. Federal Reserve's second round of quantitative easing (QE2) at the end of June, but have now broken out again, as the accompanying chart shows.
Why would the miners improve?

Cash in on the "Takeover Mania" in the Gold-Mining Sector With These Two Stocks
A "takeover mania" is about to hit gold-mining stocks.
And we're going to show you how to profit.
As many of you are already aware, The Wall Street Journal has just reported that stocks of gold-mining companies are dirt cheap.
Of course, Money Morning readers already knew that.
Since our experts told readers to buy gold back in late 2007 (when the "yellow metal" was trading at $770 an ounce), we've continued to ferret out the best gold-related investments.
If you heeded our advice, you were well-positioned to profit from this year's run-up in gold prices - and probably have a fatter portfolio to show for it.
If you didn't, however, don't fret. The stock market is offering investors a rare second chance.
And we're going to show you how to best benefit.

Are Old Lentils and Split Peas Safe to Eat?
Good Questions
Q: I made a soup last week with lentils and split peas, but I don't know how old the split peas were. They smelled musty, but I only realized it was the legumes after I had started cooking the soup. Were my lentils or peas bad? Will I get sick if I eat the soup?
Sent by Charlotte
Editor: No, I don't think you need to worry about getting sick from old lentils or other legumes, though I would recommend rinsing them thoroughly before cooking to wash away any dust. At worse, the legumes won't taste as great or cook as evenly. I often find that old lentils get mushy as they cook rather than keeping their shape.
Readers, what other advice or experience do you have to share?
Related: How to Cook Lentils on the Stovetop
(Image: Emma Christensen)
7 Comments
The problem with old legumes of any kind is that a) they cause much more gas than fresh ones, and b) particularly with beans larger than lentils, they don't soften no matter how much you cook them. I'd say throw out those lentils and get some new ones.
Why risk it?
I don't know, "musty" sounds like mold to me. I once rinsed some lentils, then didn't end up using them so after they seemed "dry" I poured them back in the jar and into the cupboard. A week later I discovered them fuzzy with mold! Ew. Perhaps the writer's peas/lentils had gotten slightly damp and grown a little mold. I personally wouldn't risk eating anything that smelled musty.
The letter doen't even state if the soup was refrigerated or at what temperature. Once food becomes mushy and wet it's more likely to attract bacteria. I'd toss that stuff out. Next time try freezing the leftovers.
We just cleaned out my grandparents' cupboards, where most of the food hasn't been touched for 3+ years since my grandma had a stroke. She had tons of beans and lentils, which I took just in case. Some of the beans did smell musty and I threw those away. Others I felt weird about, wondering if they would soften, so I ended up using them as pie weights. I'll have to report back on the other ones if I end up trying to cook them.
I think boiling lentils that could be moldy would kill the mold... but then again, my nose is hyper sensitive to anything musty or smelling like mildew so I probably just wouldn't use them and save myself the grief. They are cheap enough... sad to waste food but, eh.
Thanks everyone! I'm the one who asked the question. Just to clarify, I emailed the question the day I made the soup and someone from thekitchn answered me right away. So, the soup hadn't been sitting for awhile before I wondered about it.
I didn't notice mold or any strange smells with the dried lentils and peas, but i think it was after they had soaked in water for a bit that they started to smell. I just didn't realize that's what the smell was until after the soup had been cooking.
I did eat it (and froze half) and it was delicious. No ill after effects, except for confirming adameran's insight that they do cause more gas!
I was just asking myself that same question tonight - I threw my old lentils out - I've had them for about a year, and whilst I made a batch about 3 weeks ago, they took too long to cook, and I felt uncomfortable eating it...

Soft Chiffon Halter Gown with Ruffled Skirt Style 9PK3218 121 122
Totally different in person! When I was looking at dresses online I didn't even look at this one because the picture doesn't make the dress look like it's really my style but in person it looks so much better! It's beautiful and flowing and super comfortable as well as light weight. I'd definitely recommend this dress to any plus suzed bride who wants something to compliment her figure. August 10, 2013
Beautiful dress for a beach wedding I had looked all over for a dress for my beach wedding in Mexico. I wanted something that looked special, but was not over the top with sparkles and so on. Also I wanted something that would not be too hot, plus my husband was dressing casually, so I felt it was important that we looked good together. I saw this dress in the catalog and thought I should try it. Halter necks do not suit me so I was not sure it would be 'the dress'. However when I tried it on I fell in love with the skirt, I love the way it flows. I found the waistband and bodice also suited by body shape really well and was very flattering. This dress is only available in size 14 plus and I am little smaller than a 14, probably a 12. But I loved it so much I decided I had to have it and get it altered. It turned out the halter did not suit me, so I actually had it altered to a sweetheart. I also added a flower to the waistband which coordinated with my bridesmaids. On the day it looked perfect and really suited our beach wedding! June 18, 2013
perfect dress fit my short frame, large chest (38DDD) June 3, 2013
Get it you will love it I loved everything about this dress. I had tried on 2 others after this one and this one felt so light and airy compared to others. I put it back on again and I knew I had to get it. I loved the halter top and just the way I felt in it. I am 6' tall and I ordered mine with extra length and had it hemmed. I got it in white as I felt it would look great for the beach. The alterations lady loved it and said she's only seen it in ivory and loved the white. I am 36 years old and it was perfect for me and I didn't feel too old to be wearing it. We had a beach wedding in the bahamas and it is so much better than I imagined. It looks like it belongs on a beach. If you are on the fence get it you won't regret it. I want to get married again, just so I have an excuse to wear it some more May 20, 2013
