My network admin apparently has Windows updates setup to auto-install and reboot if needed so the computer had done that last night and Visual Studio 2012 was reloading upon startup when I came in this morning.
To my surprise. I was greeted by a series of errors popping up as Visual Studio 2012 fired up, concerning the loading of packages.
In my case it was a number of different packages, one of them being PasteJson.JsonPackage. Restarting VS 2012 didn't help.
The issue turned out to be that VS 2012 maintains some sort of cache (meta data most likely) about the packages and it was either outdated or corrupt for some reason.
You can fix this situation easily by going to C:\Users\[INSERT USER NAME HERE]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ComponentModelCache and deleting all files you find in that folder.
No more errors after that. :-)
Someone mentioned to me that this might be a recurring issue so until it's fixed, just delete the files again.

I ran into the following error while trying to open a Visual Studio 2012 solution in the new version, Visual Studio 2013:
The detailed information section listed the follwing config error:
"Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'mimeMap' with unique key attribute 'fileExtension' set to '.woff'"
The important thing here is not the mime type. It's the action of adding it that is causing the problem.
Apparently, the IISExpress version used by Visual Studio 2013 is based on newer IIS engines (7.0 and up) which throw this error when you add the same mime type at multiple levels in the config files.
You can obviously just add it at one level and solve the problem. However, more times than not this is not ideal and you still need to have the entry there.
Fortunately, there is a simple solution. Add a Remove directive right before you add the mime type:
<remove fileExtension=".woff" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/x-font-woff" />
And that's all there is to it. By removing the entry right before you re-add it, you avoid this error.

It's very annoying to have the IISExpress web server close down every time you hit the STOP button in the Visual Studio Debugger.
Fortunately, it's simple enough to keep it open:
And that's all there is to it.
If you have worked on creating HTML e-mails, you know how frustrating and time consuming it can be.
Not all browsers (and e-mail clients) are created equal, so it's very hard to get stuff to look the same in all of them.
I was editing an e-mail the other day and sure enough, it looked great in one browser but completely messed up on the other.
While reviewing the HTML in Chrome with the Developer toolbar (F12), I noticed a couple of interesting things:
1. The Elements tab does not display MY code. It displays Chrome's rendering which presumably fixes some inconsistencies and most importantly ADDS consistency by tweaking your HTML slightly.
2. The styles tab displays a box at the bottom with a drawing representing the ACTUAL size, margin and padding of the selected object. Notice I said ACTUAL, not the HTML/CSS defined values.
So, armed with these two things, I did the following:
1. Made sure I got it looking great on Chrome.
2. Copied the source from the Elements tab and replaced my source (right click on the HTML node and select "Copy as HTML"). This effectively gives me cleaner, Google-sanitized HTML code.
3. Used the little Styles tab to get the ACTUAL height, width, margin and padding of my objects. I then drew a little diagram on paper to make sure the numbers made sense (sometimes you put a table with 500 width and include a 520 width TD in it, lol). I took all the ACTUAL values and replaced my ORIGINAL values. For instance, if I had declared a width of 500px for a table, but the actual value was 495px and the table looked great, I replaced the 500px with 495px on my document.
Needless to say, it worked like a charm.
Granted, this is not going to fix all inconsistencies among browsers/clients. Some issues require more complex workarounds but this will take you most of the way.
I also know there are tools out there that can do this for you. This is just a quick, free way to get your HTML e-mails displaying properly (for the most part).
Good luck!

A customer of mine brought up a situation recently where some rollover buttons on a mobile site I made were not working as expected.
In particular, the image was disappearing when users clicked (or rather tapped) on the image link. The only thing left was the alt[ternate] text, while the new page loaded.
It turns out mobile devices have a 300ms delay between a physical tap and the firing of the "Click" event. This is done in order to detect a "double-tap".
After researching a little, I found a decent solution: FastClick.
FastClick is a simple JS library that takes care of this problem while avoiding any interference with your logic.
After downloading FastClick, include it on your html:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/Scripts/FastClick.js"></script>
Then hook it to the objects in question that produce the "Click" (what the user taps on). For instance, if you are using JQuery:
$(document).ready(function ()
Voila!... no more missing images.
A user was not able to login to a computer for the first time. He kept getting the following error:
The user profile service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded
There are plenty of articles out there and even a Microsoft "Fix It" for it:
None of this worked for me unfortunately.
After giving it some thought, it occurred to me that maybe the Windows default profile (used when you login for the first time) was corrupted.
So I went to the c:\users\default folder and deleted everything in it.
I then went to another machine that was working fine and copied the contents of the folder to the machine having trouble.
Problem solved.

I recently installed a SonicWall TZ-205 on a customer site without a CGSS subscription.
The customer wanted to block some websites. I went to Security Services > CFS and set up a custom list of websites. This functionality still works, even without a subscription.
When I went to apply the policy to the zones however, I got stuck because the combo box used to display the policies was empty. From every tutorial out there, I was expecting to see a "default policy" entry.
Testing the unit by just checking the "Enable Content Filtering" box didn't work. I could still see the offending site.
It turns out the appliance is smart enough to know NOT to block ME while I am logged in as admin. After I logged out, I tried hitting one of the offending sites and behold!... it worked.
I recently migrated one of our MVC applications to Visual Studio 2013.
After the migration, Intellisense broke. It would not work for any view I opened. It wouldn't even recognize the @model directive.
Since part of the plan was to upgrade to the latest version of MVC (5 at the time of this writing), I decided to add the NuGet package and its dependencies. This didn't solve the problem either.
Eventually, I ended up creating a new test MVC project with Visual Studio 2013. I then took the pertinent sections from the web.config file under the Views folder and copied them over to my migrated project. I then closed and relaunched VS2012 and the solution.
That got Intellisense working again.
Keep in mind that if you do this, you will introduce some new dependencies, since the latest template uses the System.Web.Optimization namespace. I didn't try removing this namespace from the web.config but if you don't want the dependencies, you might be able to get away with removing it from the web.config.

I recently ran into a situation while trying to migrate a project from SVN to TFS.
I used the Export command of Tortoise SVN to produce the output I would migrate. This effectively produces a "clean" copy of the code (no SVN folders).
When I tried to add the code to TFS via Visual Studio, I noticed the solution kept loading with SVN bindings (I use the ANKHSVN plugin). If I tried to switch the plugin, it would ask me to close the solution.
I went poking around in the Solution (.sln) file and found the following entry:
GlobalSection(SubversionScc) = preSolution
Svn-Managed = True
Manager = AnkhSVN - Subversion Support for Visual Studio
Removing this "GlobalSection" did the trick for me. After launching the solution again, I was able to add it to TFS.
I hope this helps anyone with the same issue out there.

UMC opened its new East wing on the 5th floor. That will allow for an additional 24 beds to cardiac patients. Specifically, this area will be designated for patients who are well enough to be out of intensive care, but not improved enough yet for the general floor.
"For patients that will allow family to be with them more and in a more general hospital environment and for us it will allow us to better manage intensive care beds and get patients in and out of those areas in a quicker fashion," said Greg Bruce, UMC Public Information.
A priest was there to bless the wing and the nurses who will work there. The new addition comes from bond money that UMC is expected to retire on June 1st, meaning it will be debt free at that point.

It's unsightly, dangerous, and is destroying neighborhoods. Mayor Bob Buckhorn says urban blight is a big problem in parts of Tampa and now the city is cracking down on it.
Linda Coomey is one of the code enforcement officers who started sweeping through neighborhoods Sunday. She's on a 30-day mission to fight the blight in her assigned zone. News Channel 8 followed Coomey as she checked out properties along 99th Street Sunday. She wrote several citations for junk cars and trash piled high in yards.
"We're not asking for permission," explained Mayor Buckhorn. "We're going to go in and kick some butt and take some names."
Buckhorn says the crackdown follows the scandalous resignation of Tampa Port Authority Chairman William "Hoe" Brown for being an alleged slumlord.
"I think the situation two or three weeks ago just pointed out to all of us that we have an obligation to do better," said Buckhorn.
Buckhorn has ordered all code enforcers, in the city's recently reorganized department, to work overtime for the next month to target irresponsible property owners. He says the goal of the sweep is to clean up problem properties, which if left alone, can spread like cancer through communities.
"It just spreads from house to house to house," Buckhorn said. "Soon if this place isn't boarded up correctly the drug dealers and the prostitutes and the gang bangers will kick the windows in and kick the doors in and basically take over places like this and ruin an entire neighborhood."
Tampa's Neighborhood Services Director says there are about 6,000 abandoned properties on the books in the city.

Soy, Lemon and Ginger Chicken Cracklings Recipe
Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: 1-3 days | Active Time: | Makes: cubed serves 6; whole serves 2
I love brightly flavored foods. This chicken is moist, succulent, tangy w/ citrus, and crunchy. The recipe's origin is Dominican but I added the ginger and whole wheat flour, which really improve the original version.
- 2 lb. trimmed chicken breast or thigh, skinned, boned and cut into 1" cubes ( or 1 lb. breast or thigh,left whole including skin and bones)
- 1/4 c. fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 c. tamari or Kikkoman soy sauce (not La Choy)
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 2 T. thinly sliced or rough chopped unpeeled ginger
- 1 c. whole wheat flour (can substitute white)
- 1/2 tsp.sweet paprika or dulce pimenton (La Vera is best brand)
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 2 c. vegetable or peanut oil
- Cube chicken (or, if using whole pieces, poke all over with a skewer or boning knife)
- Mix lemon juice through ginger, stir to dissolve salt, and pour over chicken.
- Cover and refrigerate 1-3 days, turning once a day.
- Remove from refrigerator; drain in collander.
- Combine flour through pepper in plastic container w/ lid.
- Shake well to mix.
- To the flour mixture add 1/4 of the chicken cubes or 1 whole piece of chicken.
- Shake well to coat, and set aside.
- In 370 degree oil, fry chicken cubes and dried sliced ginger a few minutes 'til firm to touch.
- For whole pieces, fry with ginger for about 10 minutes, turning a few times, then transfer to 350 degree oven til cooked through and juices run clear when a skewer or small knife tip is inserted into the middle of the piece.
- Drain chicken on newspaper or paper towels.

Casa De Mi Padre Movie Review
Armando (Ferrell) is the second son of Miguel (Armendariz), a rancher who dotes on his city-slicker son Raul (Luna) even though he might be a drug dealer. But problems arise with local cartel kingpin Onza (Garcia Bernal) when Raul decides to marry Onza's niece Sonia (Rodriguez). Miguel is delighted, but Armando and his farmhand pals (Ramirez and Martinez) know that big trouble is brewing. Sure enough, an American DEA agent (Offerman) is prowling around with a Federale (Urrego). And if everyone kills each other, it'll make their jobs easier.
The filmmakers raise some startlingly serious themes then ignore them to poke fun at clumsy Hollywood attempts to mimic Mexican exploitation movies. So the gags are pretty nonstop, lampooning low-budget filmmaking in which no one has time to worry about continuity or credibility. So we can constantly see just how cheesy the sets are, with badly painted backdrops and clunky effects (the pivotal white lion is a Jim Henson Company creation).
And of course the film constantly plays on the fact that Ferrell isn't remotely Latino. That said, his Spanish isn't bad, and his mispronunciations are woven right into the story. He also has terrific chemistry with the bombshell-like Rodriguez, and their love scene is ridiculously hilarious. Meanwhile, Luna and Garcia Bernal tear up the scenery as two men who really wish they were Al Pacino in Scarface, spewing the exaggerated dialog as if their lives depended on it.
In the end, the film is far to corny and stupid to linger in the memory. It's also profoundly misogynistic, with stereotypical bimbos populating the backgrounds of almost every scene playing, pointedly, maids and prostitutes.
But just when we start worrying about what the filmmakers are trying to say, something sublimely silly happens on screen to keep us chuckling. It's a cheap trick, but it works.

Did you know that every month 100 Milwaukee County children enter foster care? Right now, there are approximately 2,600 children in foster care. These children come from diverse backgrounds and have a wide range of needs. What they have in common is a need for a nurturing, temporary place to call home. In our work as adoption and foster care advocates, we see how the lives of children and families have been affected when a family is in distress. But we also see what good can happen when a community pulls together and helps a family through difficult times.
That is one of the reasons the recruitment team at Children's Service Society of Wisconsin and some of the foster/adoption staff has teamed up to work together to make connections in the community. We are stepping out of our normal job duties to develop a comprehensive grassroots initiative to move towards solving some of the major issues in our community revolving around child welfare.
We call ourselves the C.I.A. – the Canvassing Initiative Assembly. We will be canvassing communities in and around Milwaukee County, going door to door in residential neighborhoods, and approaching local businesses asking them to team with us and support the Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare's mission. Our goal is to get our information out to the community and help recruit much needed foster homes. Most people don't even realize the great need that we have in our city for quality foster homes. This initiative is so important to us, because we care about what is happening in our community and about the children and the families who are affected. Public child welfare agencies cannot meet the complex needs of foster children and families alone.
Keeping children safe is everybody's responsibility, and involves the collaboration between child welfare agencies, schools, neighbors, associations and businesses.
–Laura Goba, adoption placement supervisor, and Arles Lawrence, recruitment program supervisor, Children's Service Society of Wisconsin

Activision have released a new trailer for this week's release of the video game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms.
The surprise here is that actors Sam Worthington and Jonah Hill feature throughout the piece called "The Vet & The n00b" with the Aussie hunk teaching the American comedy actor fighting techniques in (very green screened) different cities around the world.
It's a cute bit, Worthington fits like a glove into the action meets light comedic tone while the director smartly makes sure Hill doesn't overdo it with his verbal delivery - keeping him fairly mute but giving him enough to play off.
The game itself is an absolute juggernaut - analysts are already predicting the title will rack up over $1.1 billion in sales before Christmas with at least 16 million copies expected to be sold worldwide before the end of the year.

Expect more movement on Utah's depth chart after scrimmage
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: August 12, 2013 01:05PM
Updated: August 12, 2013 01:06PM
With all the position battles going on, Utah made very few changes on its latest depth chart, which was released Monday.
Most notable was the presence of senior defensive tackle Latu Heimuli listed as a possible starter. The 6-foot-3, 305-pound Heimuli has been hampered by injuries throughout his career but now is battling LT Tuipulotu (6-1, 305) and Stevie Tu'ikolovatu (6-1, 320) for a starting role.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said last week if he can stay healthy, he'll be the comeback story of the year.
As for the depth chart, look for more changes to come after Tuesday's scrimmage.
The Utes hope to get in 75 to 80 plays, Whittingham said.
Couple of things the Utes want to see:
*More leadership out of quarterback Travis Wilson. "You have to be a leader of the team, some days he still hasn't figured that part out," Whittingham said.
*A productive run game where Kelvin York is the No. 1 guy but James Poole, Lucky Radley and Karl Williams are battling for snaps.
*Continued improvement from the linebackers. Sophomore Travis Still ended Monday's practice with an interception and Whittingham praised the group for their efforts following Monday's practice.
*A good effort by receiver Anthony Denham, who currently is in the lead for the No. 3 spot. However, JC transfer Andre Lewis is practicing again after missing most of last week with a hamstring injury and he could push Denham.

Get Fit with Baby: Yoga for New Moms and Infants
"It has been wonderful to be able to do something that is for both of us at the same time," says Jessica Stolzberg, a student at Baby Om yoga studio in New York. "I feel I have accomplished something for myself and my body, yet my baby is also an active participant with focus given to her and her body, too."
Carmit Bach started practicing yoga with her son Ori when he was just six weeks old. "It really provided a wonderful bonding opportunity and a way for me to take care of my fitness needs without leaving him behind," she says. "As he grew, he was able to participate in the class more, and more recently, has been very alert and seems to really enjoy himself."
"I am stronger and fitter than I was pre-baby!" says Gretchen Fleisher, another baby-and-mother yoga practitioner. "I focused on building my abdominal strength back up and ended up with a stronger stomach. I also realized the importance of my overall health—I needed to keep up with the demands of motherhood."

tunnels and underground excavations
Ancient and modern tunnels in Europe, Japan, and the U.S. are described in the well-illustrated study by Patrick Beaver, A History of Tunnels (1972). T.M. Megaw and J.V. Bartlett, Tunnels—Planning, Design, Construction, 2 vol. (1981–82), is a substantial study. Graham West, Innovation and the Rise of the Tunnelling Industry (1988), focuses on both hard- and soft-rock projects. Agricola, De Re Metallica, trans. from Latin by Herbert Clark Hoover and Lou Henry Hoover (1912, reprinted 1950), is a classic work on early mining in Europe. Frederick Walter Simms, Practical Tunneling, 4th ed., rev. and expanded by D. Kinnear Clark (1896), on early public works, recounts the difficulties overcome by pioneers. C.A. Pequignot (ed.), Tunnels and Tunnelling (1963), on English practice, includes comprehensive tables comparing tunnels of the world. Gösta E. Sandström, Tunnels (also published as The History of Tunneling, 1963), is a historical survey that summarizes Sweden's contributions to underground engineering. K.G. Stagg and O.C. Zienkiewicz (eds.), Rock Mechanics in Engineering Practice (1968), an introductory work, contains 12 chapters, each written by a noted authority. Harold W. Richardson and Robert S. Mayo, Practical Tunnel Driving (1941, reissued 1975), a history of U.S. practice to 1940, emphasizes tunnel equipment. Albert D. Parker, Planning and Estimating Underground Construction (1970), also on U.S. practice, emphasizes construction engineering and estimating. Microtunneling methods are discussed in Dietrich Stein, Klemens Möllers, and Rolf Bielecki, Microtunnelling: Installation and Renewal of Nonman-size Supply and Sewage Lines by the Trenchless Construction Method (1989; originally published in German, 1988). Contemporary developments are detailed in the periodicals ENR (weekly), an engineering news record; and Tunnels & Tunnelling (monthly).

Would someone please help me?

how to look after your fellow med students.
Med school can be really tough sometimes, and it's easy to feel completely alone. And often, we know when our colleagues are having a bad day, and perhaps we're not comfortable asking them if they're okay or if they want to talk.
But it's really important to create a sense of community in med school. No one quite knows the struggle of anatomy and placement and patients as well as we do.
These are the little things colleagues have done for me when I've been down. These are the things I remember and honestly, these are the reasons I haven't quit med school. Small actions make all the difference.
- Shout your friend coffee. Nothing says 'I'm here for you' quite like a cup of caffeine. And, of course, it gives you an excuse to chat and be there for a struggling colleague.
- Bad jokes. And I mean really, really bad jokes. Example: Have you heard about the movie Intussusception? It's about a bowel within a bowel within a bowel.
- Text messages and instant messaging. They don't have to be deep and meaningful. I spent half an hour arguing with a colleague this evening. The topic? What will happen if I'm a student and he's my intern. (Apparently, I'm working every day and I only get ten minutes for lunch. This is how we show affection.)
- Respect. If you're assigned to present a topic in a tute, actually do the work. There's nothing more insulting than creating good notes for your colleagues, while they have no intention of reciprocating.
- Birthday cake. They don't take long to make (you can use the baking time as study time!), and a round of 'happy birthday' can brighten anyone's day. And there's sugar involved.
- Acknowledge their existence. We can't know everyone in med school really well. But if you recognise them, say hi. Ask them how they are and how they're finding the course. A quick discussion might brighten their day.
- Share resources. After you graduate, no one will care what marks you got or if you were valedictorian (except maybe your grandkids). So, if you stumble across a great website or textbook, let your colleagues know.
- Smile. Smiles are universal, and contagious. Hospitals can be sad places, so cheer is always welcome. And it makes you seem friendly and approachable, and interpersonal skills are what will make you a good doctor. Not your ability to name the branches of the brachial plexus.
Your challenge: do one nice thing for a colleague tomorrow. Even if it's just waving at the in the corridor.
Let's change the culture of medicine. Let's start a revolution and foster a sense of community.

Estee Lauder Cos.' (EL) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings jumped 84%, topping analysts estimates, on an uptick in sales for the beauty-products company.
However, like its smaller peer Elizabeth Arden Inc. (RDEN), which reported last week, Estee Lauder issued a profit outlook that fell short of Wall Street's expectations.
Saying it expects the global prestige beauty market to rise roughly 3% to 4% in fiscal 2014, reflecting continued weakness in certain Southern European countries and South Korea and slower growth in the U.S., Estee Lauder said it expects per-share earnings of $2.74 to $2.87 for the new fiscal year on revenue growth between 6% and 8% in constant currency. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters recently were looking for per-share earnings of $2.94 on revenue growth of 6.3%, to about $10.83 billion.
For the current quarter, Estee Lauder sees per-share earnings between 67 cents and 71 cents on sales growth between 5% and 7% in constant currency, compared with analysts' forecasts for earnings of 90 cents a share on revenue growth of 6.5% to $2.72 billion.
Estee Lauder, home to brands such as Clinique and Origins as well as its namesake line, had seen a recent rebound in spending by well-heeled customers in the U.S., its core market. Sales in the Americas segment rose 4.5% to $992.5 million.
Emerging markets in the Asia/Pacific region also have been giving the company a lift, with the region posting a 2% rise in sales, or 5% in local currency. Even Europe, the Middle East & Africa, a region that has struggled, experienced a 12% rise in sales.
Estee Lauder reported a profit of $94 million, or 24 cents a share, up from $51.2 million, or 13 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding restructuring costs and other items, earnings totaled 24 cents a share in the latest period, up from a comparable 17 cents in the prior-year period.
Net sales rose 6.9% to $2.41 billion. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, net sales increased 8%.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters recently forecasted earnings of 21 cents per share on revenue of $2.41 billion.
Skin-care sales, the biggest contributor to the top line, rose 9.3% to $1.06 billion. Excluding currency effects, sales rose 11%. Operating profit jumped 99% to $145.8 million.
Operating income margin widened to 6% from 3.2%.
Shares slipped 1.8% to $63.99 in recent premarket trading. Through Wednesday's close, the stock has risen 8.8% since the start of the year.

Finding the perfect rental property is challenging. Pittsburgh has a lot to offer if you know what you are looking for. Here are a few things that Pittsburgh can offer someone renting or buying a new flat in the area.
A Great Environment for Young Professionals
Living close to work is a draw for many young professionals. Many apartments in Pittsburgh are located within walking distance of a central business district. If walking isn't an option, there are shorter commute times than in many cities of comparable size, and the city has an excellent public transportation system. Most commute times are under 30 minutes, with the average being 25 minutes. For those who travel frequently for business or pleasure, the Pittsburgh International Airport is located just 15 miles from downtown.
Green Living
Green living can also be very appealing in real estate. Pittsburgh has primarily been known for the steel trade in the past. In the recent years, however, Pittsburgh has been making strides toward high technology and especially toward building more energy efficient homes. Newer buildings in the area will be putting green technology to work, which could be a selling point for young professionals and young families who want to be conscious of the state of the environment around them.
Entertainment Options
Whether a tenant is interested in sports, fine dining or the performing arts, Pittsburgh has a lot to offer. It is home to three major league sports teams; the Pittsburgh Pirates in baseball, the Pittsburgh Steelers in football and the Pittsburgh Penguins in Hockey. Great restaurants and performing arts venues are also located in the area, including a symphony orchestra, ballet companies and operas.
Education Opportunities
Pittsburgh is home to some great colleges. Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh are both located in the city, and several other universities are located nearby. Young families may also be drawn to the charter and magnet school options in the city for their children.
Green Space
Pittsburgh is located where two rivers join to form the Ohio River. Many of the neighborhoods on the edges of the city offer tree-lined streets. The city is also located near the Appalachian Mountains. Great parks and recreation areas can be found nearby.
Knowing what a city has to offer, no matter what city you are looking for property in, is important. The more you know about the area, the better you will be able to find selling points for potential tenants.

Teen Check Up
A few weeks ago I was at my docs office for a yearly exam. I am 13 years old, and this is the first time that the doctor actually had me get nude. So I go into the exam, thinkin that its just a normal checkup, and also my mom came into the room with me and my lil 10 year old bro too. The doctor (a female) came in & I had my weight takn, blood pressure, height, breating, ears, ect. and i had to take off my pants for reflexes where my brother laughed at the sight of my nearly naked adolescent body in my briefs. All of my previous exams stopped there. but now the doctor tells me completely normally to pull down my briefs! Im like <wtf?> but i'm too shocked to say anything, just stand there with my mouth open in terror. My mom on hearing this looks up from her PEOPLE mag and by brother laughes uncontrollably. Hurry up! the doc says, and i force myself to pull em down, and to ditch my pride and dignity. so now i'm standing completely bear in front of my mom and brother who is turning red from laughing so hard, but trying to contain it. The doctor looked down at my developing penis and thin coat if straight brown hairs and says "you are developing pubic hair normally on your upper region and scrotum." Too make it even worse, i started to get an erection, causing another fit of laughing in my brother and a wierd look from my mom. then the doc she takes one of my balls and rolls it in her hands and tells me to cough. I can hardly squeak out a cough I am so humiliated. she repeats this with the other one and tells me about testicle cancer while i am just dying to be able to get dressed. f inally I am allowed to get redressed. It was so humiliating, and I am dreading going back there, especially with my brother in the room.
Yeah, I think after 12 yrs old, your mother should of had the decency to excuse herself from the room.
I don't remember my mom ever being in the room once I was old enough to be examined nude. Nor did I have a female doc doing them. But then, times have changed since I was a teen.
I only had one exam with a female doctor - it was in the military and I had no choice.
This story is from 2009 so I'm interested to hear if you've had and physicals since this and if so if mum or bro were in the room with you and how did it go. Has bro had to have his physical yet? You should offer to take him
Dont worry, your brother will get his nuts felt up eventually too. Than can laugh at HIM.
my pediatrician lets my mom stay in the room with me which is OK but then he tells me to take off my underwear incluiding my briefs or boxer shorts so i'm nude for my whole exam in front of my mom. lately i have been getting boners during my physicals too.
I would say you are feeling uncomfortable during your entire physical exam!!! And you totally dislike getting undress for your physical exam?? And you totally do not want to take off your shoes and socks because your bare feet get cold during your physical exam!!! And you also do not want your bare feet to be tickle!!!!!
There is no need for you to feel embarrased being naked in front of your mother, she knows what a naked guy looks like.<br />
It is good that your medical checks are done to make sure you are developing properly.
Im 11 and got my testicals checked before she didnt explain why she touched my f***ing penis so i was so confused but the next year i went she explained why but still why the **** do they have the right to touck my balls
I always get hard when I go for my physicals. I imagine that it must have been fairly erotic aswell.
I would've told my family to wait outside and when she started rolling my balls in her hand i would purposely got a hard on and ask if i could have a **** while she watched
I hate going to the doctors once you i finally get called they take my vituals and then to the exam room . now me backup a little I'm 18 and have a problem that is very embarrassing to talk about let alone be examained for I have very little bladder control and sometimes bowle control so I were diapers 24/7 mine is male and I think he's gay because first he dose is to take off my pants so I'm sitting in just my diaper then he asks if I'm or messed seems like I'm always wet then he asks me take off my diaper and lay on my side he now take my tempture rectaly he then give me a complte going over including a rectal exam this has been done with my mother in the exam room. if messed he insits on cleaning me and examing me . in once sense of the way i dont mind because I'm bisexual. but he's get his kicks at my expense.
Well, I know that your problem may be embarrassing, but put yourself in the doc's shoes. If I had to examine a patient down there, who had messed himself, I think that I'd want to clean him 1st, too. No offense, I'm just saying.
Been there done that got the t-shirt.

Albany-- City employees may soon have to work even harder to shape up and drive right.
A recommendation of the City of Albany's strategic plan is to beef up the policy on use of city-owned vehicles. City commissioners are considering updating the Vehicle Policy by pulling motor vehicle records of all employees once a year.
The information pulled will be based on a point evaluation system. For instance, if an employee is found to be driving on a suspended license, that would count as 12 points. Employees could reduce points under training and defensive driving courses, but after 14 or more points, a city employee could be out the door.
"Ultimately, if you accumulate enough points then it gets to a decision where the department head and Mr. Lott have to make a decision on reassigning you or releasing you," says Central Services Director Stephen Collier.
Employees could also get points for driving in excess of the speed limit or involvement in preventable accidents. It would cost about 10,000 dollars a year for the new system. Commissioners will vote on the measure at the next city commission meeting.

God speaks to each of us in different ways. He grabs our attention in a way only He knows how to do. For some of you, he may speak through scripture or prayer.
For Sam, God spoke to her through music:"I've recently been having issues with what it is I'm living for. I've also had problems with my appearence and being confident and not afraid to express my faith in God. I was in tears on my way to school and then the song "Don't You Know Your Beautiful" came on by Seabird, and it was instant releif for some reason. I cant explain it, all I know is that my faith is tronger than ever and I'm proud to be a follower in Christ. I've also learned true beauty is on the inside, not the outside."

Summer, Day 52 Reviews
In this chapter, Harry gets another visitor... or is it two? Also, the Daily Prophet reveals quite a bit, Remus helps Kreacher deliver an apology, and Arthur and Molly have a very important convers...
Chapter 2: Summer, Day 5
"He's not a member of the Order of the Phoenix!" said Mrs. Weasley. "He's only fifteen and - "
" - and he's dealt with as much as most in the Order," said Sirius, "and more than some - "
"No one's denying what he's done!" said Mrs. Weasley, her voice rising, her fists trembling on the arms of her chair. "But he's still - "
"He's not a child!" said Sirius impatiently.
"He's not an adult either!" said Mrs. Weasley, the color rising in her cheeks.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, chapter 5 -
Someone was cowering against the dark wall, her wand in her hand, her whole body shaking with sobs. Sprawled on the dusty old carpet in a patch of moonlight, clearly dead, was Ron...
"R-r-riddikulus!" Mrs. Weasley sobbed, pointing her shaking wand at Ron's body.
Ron's body turned into Bill's, spread-eagled on his back, his eyes wide open and empty. Mrs. Weasley sobbed harder than ever.
"R-r-riddikulus!" she sobbed again.
Mr. Weasley's body replaced Bill's, his glasses askew, a trickle of blood running down his face.
"No!" Mrs. Weasley moaned. "No... riddikulus! Riddikulus! RIDDIKULUS!"
Crack./ Dead twins. Crack. Dead Percy. Crack. Dead Harry.../
"Mrs. Weasley, just get out of here!" shouted Harry, staring down at his own dead body on the floor.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, chapter 9 -
o O o O o O o O o O o O o O o O o O o O o
A light knock sounded at Harry's door. Before Harry could respond, the door opened slightly, and Nymphadora Tonks stuck her head in.
"Wotcher, Harry. You decent in there?"
Two days had passed since Remus Lupin's visit. From the smell and sight, Tonks felt certain that Harry had not bathed or changed in that time, and had only eaten and drunk what was necessary to live.
"Not interrupting anything, am I, Harry?" Tonks asked wryly, as she stepped into his room.
"Sorry, Tonks. Not up to visitors. Thanks, though. Tell Kingsley I said hello," Harry said lifelessly, his only movement being his eyes and head following Tonks across the room.
Tonks ambled slowly around the small room, looking through its contents. "You know, Harry," she said as she pawed through some of Dudley's broken and useless possessions, "I was glad to get the chance to visit you. I'm surrounded at Grimmauld Place by well-wishers, people who thought highly of Sirius - "
Harry flinched, and a fire sparked in his eyes. " - but none of them really knew him. He was the only real family I had, the only family I had that didn't treat me like a genetic mistake."
Harry's eyes took on a definite glisten. Tonks tripped over an old broken television, but managed to right herself before falling over completely. As she resumed her walk, she continued her talk, still not looking at Harry. "You may not believe this, or you may not care," she said, then turned to look directly in his eyes, "but I have some idea of how much you miss Sirius. I miss him too."
Harry reined in his emotions, and his cold, lifeless mask fell back fell back into place. "Go away, Tonks. Please. Talk to Remus; I'm sure he's in need of a friend. Go cheer up someone else who has a life, or some hope of a life. You're wasting your time on me. I'm not allowed to have friends, family, or any of that. I'm only here to fight Voldemort." Harry turned his back on Tonks, then continued speaking, almost too soft for her to hear, "And then I die. I'm a weapon, not a person."
Tonks stared sadly at Harry's back, not really seeing him. She could feel his pain, thick and palpable in the air. He was drowning in his own grief, without a clue as to how to deal with it. As Harry turned around, Tonks slipped back into a casual look, and began her sauntering inspection away from him again.
"Congratulations, Harry. Welcome to War. You see War or Crime on the telly all the time nowadays. They tell you every death or injury to the minutest detail, but it never prepares you - not for the real loss. Your loss of innocence, the loss of someone close to you - those are things you only understand when you feel it yourself."
Tonks turned suddenly to once again face Harry. "Have you ever wondered, Harry, how someone as clumsy as me could become an Auror?"
Harry's face betrayed his confusion at her sudden change of topic.
"I know, I know - my career hasn't been at the forefront of your thoughts recently. It's a valid question, though. I must have something, right? As a matter of fact, not to toot my own horn or anything, but it turns out that my expertise and skills are highly sought - I've even worked on cases for American and Canadian authorities, not just the Ministry.
"Interrogation - that's my specialty," Tonks continued, knowing she had piqued Harry's curiosity in spite of himself. "You'd be surprised what some people will say - "
Harry's eyes grew wide as Tonks' voice deepened and her features changed. Her dialogue continued unbroken in spite of the change in tenor. " - when faced with the right person."
Harry now saw Sirius Black, his dead godfather, where Tonks had just stood. "Sirius..." he said, weakly.
"No, Harry," the person facing Harry said. "Sirius is gone. He's gone, but he would want you to know you are a real person, feeling real things, and it's okay to let it out. It's not your fault; you need to let it go."
"NO! NO!" Harry screamed as he shot up from the bed. "YOU - YOU - HOW DARE YOU! How dare you just - just look like him! STOP IT!"
Harry moved to hit the Tonks-as-Sirius, but she deftly swerved away from his rage-induced punch. After another unsuccessful swing, Harry lunged at her, and the two fell to the floor. After a few rolls and punches, Harry's energy gave out, and his anger-filled screams grew quieter. He lifted himself up to his knees facing the faux-Sirius sitting before him.
"You can't be Sirius. He's dead." Harry stopped altogether, and tears began to roll down his cheeks as his mournful eyes remained locked on hers.
Harry's sniffles grew into loud, mournful sobs, wracking his body. "He's g-g-gone, Tonks. He's dead. She k-k-killed him."
Tonks shifted back to her own form, and moved beside Harry. She wrapped her arms around him and leaned her head on his shoulder, offering him her warmth as comfort while he expelled his grief.
"I can't do it ... Why me? ... I'm not strong enough," Harry continued, all of his worries and fears now rushing out.
"Oh, Harry," Tonks said in a soothing voice just above a whisper. "I don't know why you're surrounded by trouble, but it's not 'just you' - it's never been 'just you'. Whether or not you choose to let them in, you'll always be surrounded by people who love you. Whether or not you choose to let them in, they'll always be in danger.
"Right now, you think it would be easier to never love again, to bottle up your feelings and never let them out - safer for you, safer for everyone else. Think about what closing yourself off will cost you. V-V-Voldemort is an example of someone who forsook love, mercy, and kindness, someone who gave up on being human. Is that what you want to become? Sirius was better than that. In spite of being disowned, betrayed, forsaken, and sent to Azkaban, Sirius never stopped loving. His love for you gave him the strength to escape from Azkaban.
"Sirius believed in you, Harry. I believe in you. Ron and Hermione, Neville and Ginny and Luna - they all believe in you and/ still do/. They all love you, and would give anything to have you in their lives. You know none of them give a sickle about your fame or money or influence, because they stood behind you when your name got them nothing but trouble. Do what Sirius would do. Take what he wanted for you. Live. Feel. Cry. Laugh. Don't stop feeling, because that's when Voldemort wins."
Harry looked into Tonks' eyes for a long time, then his head dropped to her shoulder. They sat there together as minutes rolled by, lost in their thoughts, relaxing in the sound of their breathing.
Finally, Harry broke the silence.
"I'm hungry."
Tonks gave Harry a tired smile, which he tentatively returned.
"Me too," she said. "Let's go get something to eat. I brought something you might like to read."

Sirius Black Innocent! Pettigrew At Large!
The Ministry of Magic revealed today that new evidence has come to light indicating that Sirius Black, long believed to be a mass murderer and second-in-command to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, was in fact innocent. It now appears that Black was framed and that Peter Pettigrew committed the murders for which Black was imprisoned. Black served 12 years in Azkaban and holds the distinction of being the only person to escape the prison without assistance.
This information was revealed in a press conference held by Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic. The news of Mr. Black's wrongful imprisonment was the first item in a report released at the press conference and summarized orally by Minister Fudge. The report was compiled by an investigative committee headed by the Minister, which was formed immediately after the June incursion into the Ministry of Magic in order to uncover other subversive activities within the Ministry by followers of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Minister Fudge named Lucius Malfoy, benefactor to several major wizarding institutions, as the alleged ringleader of the subversive activities. The Minister cited several of the committee findings with which Mr. Malfoy was strongly involved. These included the widespread use of dementors two years ago in the search for Mr. Black, as well as several other wrongful imprisonments in Azkaban. Narcissa Black Malfoy, wife of Lucius Malfoy, sister of known Death Eater Bellatrix Black LeStrange, and cousin of Sirius Black, was unavailable for comment.
Another surprising detail of Mr. Black's saga was revealed in the Ministry findings. Black was apparently present at the Death Eater incursion into the Ministry of Magic this June. Evidence seems to indicate Black may have died defending the Ministry from the encroachment. It is unclear at this time whether Ministry forces were aware of Black's allegiance prior to the incident.
The Daily Prophet had reported earlier this year about the ceremony used to restore He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to his body, principally performed by Pettigrew. During the restoration, Pettigrew was required to sacrifice his right hand, which his master replaced with a magical hand of silver.
Peter Pettigrew joins the list of known Death Eaters at large. Readers are cautioned to become familiar with the list and to report to the Ministry any possible sightings of or activities by the known servants of the Dark Lord. However, under no circumstances should anyone attempt to approach the criminals.

"Petrificus Totalis!"
Remus Lupin emerged from one of the many shadows in the basement of the Black Estate at 12 Grimmauld Place. He joined former Auror Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, standing over the immobilized body of Kreacher, the Black family house elf.
"Thanks, Moody. I appreciate your help. I can take it from here."
"Distract and flank - works every time," replied Moody. "You have a way to keep him out of trouble?"
"Yes... Dumbledore and I agreed on a means to keep Kreacher 'occupied' for the time being," Lupin confirmed. Not that I plan to use that means.
Lupin picked up Kreacher, and Moody continued talking as the two men proceeded upstairs. "Hagrid should be here by lunchtime to take the hippogriff, now that it's been cleared of all charges."
"I think... " Lupin started, "I think... Sirius would be happy to know that Buckbeak, at least, won his freedom."
"Yeah, both Fudge and Dumbledore want to atone for wrongfully imprisoning that poor boy," Moody commented thoughtfully. "Fudge will use Buckbeak's release to show he's righting old wrongs and supporting the right side - strictly a political move. As for Dumbledore - if anything positive can come out of Sirius' death, I'd bet my one real eye that Albus will find it."
Moody's lack of tact bothered Remus, but years of dealing with the widely accepted prejudice against werewolves had taught Lupin not to react to others' opinions. Alastor, we're quite lucky Harry isn't here. I doubt he could be as understanding as I am of your straightforward attitude regarding Sirius' death.
The two men finished their trek, ending at the front entryway, and exchanged farewells. After Moody had left, Lupin moved away from the prying eyes and ears of the Black portraits and looked down to his frozen companion.
"Are you ready, Kreacher? I believe you owe an apology to the only other resident of the house. You led Buckbeak's only friend, his keeper, to Death."
The movement of Kreacher's eyes was the only sign that he heard and understood Lupin.
Remus smiled at Kreacher, the cold smile of a predator. "Not to worry, little sir. I have no doubt that Buckbeak will be happy to accept your gesture of apology."
Kreacher's rapid eye movement betrayed his lack of reassurance by Lupin's words. Nonetheless, Remus would not have considered hazarding a guess as to what was going through the house elf's mind at that moment. No witch or wizard was privy to the inner workings of the house-elf mind, and Kreacher was atypical of his species anyway. Kreacher had long since gone insane, perhaps from his treatment by the Black family, or perhaps from over a decade of solitude with only the house's venomous portraits for company.
When they reached the master suite, Buckbeak's room, Remus performed the obligatory bow of respect to the hippogriff. Once the return bow was complete, Lupin brought his captive forward and spoke, "Buckbeak, I believe you know Kreacher. Kreacher is the one who sent Sirius to die. Kreacher injured you," Remus indicated the hippogriff's recently acquired injury, "as part of the ruse to send Sirius and his godson Harry to their deaths. Sirius gave his life to save Harry."
Remus paused a moment, then looked into Buckbeak's eyes and continued. "Buckbeak, I thought you might need a chance to express to someone just how much Sirius meant to you. I thought Kreacher would be the best one to share your time of grief, given his need to better understand Sirius."
Buckbeak turned his gaze from Lupin to Kreacher and back to Lupin. Then his gaze returned to Kreacher and hardened, and a rumbling growl began deep in his throat.
Remus locked gazes with Kreacher. "Your paralysis will wear off in an hour; I'll be back before then to... collect you."
Remus turned and left, shutting the door quietly behind him.

The kitchen of Number 12 Grimmauld Place was once again uncharacteristically busy as Molly Weasley bustled around, preparing another meal fit for an army - literally, in this case. In addition to her other duties for the Order of the Phoenix, Molly had taken it upon herself to see that no Order member would ever lack a good meal.
As Molly continued her work, easily adapting to a kitchen four times the size of her own, her husband Arthur cautiously peered through door.
"Molly, dear, you disappeared before the meeting was done. Dumbledore had another important issue for us all to discuss."
"Arthur, there's work to be done here. I have a meal to prepare for the Order. Besides, it sounded like my opinion wasn't needed anyway."
Arthur sighed as he moved into the kitchen. "No need to push yourself. Something's come up, and Dumbledore's set everyone to tasks. More to the point, you and I are overdue for a talk."
"Really, Arthur, now is not the time for chitchat. I have work to do," she insisted, moving to put away the food she had just been preparing.
Arthur moved in front of Molly and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Molly, why did you leave? You need to understand - "
"Arthur, don't you DARE defend their position to me!" Molly spat, no longer suppressing her ire.
"Molly - "
"These are your /children/, Arthur!"
"Molly - "
"How on earth can you be so anxious to push them out on the front lines OF A WAR!" she roared.
"THINK about what you're saying, Molly," Arthur replied hotly, as the last of his patience began to ebb. "Do you honestly believe I'm anxious to see our children die?"
"Of course not," the Weasley matriarch conceded as she began losing some of her steam. "Still, how can you possibly condone our children being privy to Order affairs? You must realize the danger that would put them in. It will only encourage them to take greater risks, to become more involved with... with... this horrible mess."
Arthur's voice took on a softer tone, but retained its firmness. "Molly, as you said, this is war. Whether we like it or not, the Weasleys, the Malfoys, the Grangers and Goyles - we're all in the thick of it now, and somehow, Harry's at the middle of it. Harry's linked to You-Know-Who, and our family is linked to Harry."
Molly's look of determination began to falter.
"The cat's out of the bag, Molly. Our children have faced down You-Know-Who himself, and we know trouble will find them again, so what do we do about it? Do we spend our energy fighting fate to keep them out of it? Did that help Harry? Did it help Sirius? Wouldn't our time be better spent fighting with our children rather than against them? Maybe, just maybe, if we hadn't tried to exclude them from the Order, they would have felt they could call us when they needed us most."
Molly's shoulders sagged, and she dropped her head onto her husband's chest. "Oh, Arthur, I just... I just wanted them to be able to grow up happy, to have a childhood without all the darkness we faced."
Arthur placed a hand under her chin, and raised her head until her eyes met his. "Molly, look at our little girl. When she was eleven, she faced down the spirit of You-Know-Who. Now look at her today - she's full of love, joy, happiness - all the things we need to defeat the darkness. We gave her that, Molly. We gave her what she needed to stand up to Tom Riddle. In fact, I believe she not only survived him, I think she stopped him from killing anyone, ruined his every attempt with that basilisk.
"And look at Bill and Charlie. They live in two of the worst environments this earth has to offer, doing the most challenging jobs they could find. Our boys grew up in a home that gave them the strength to tame dragons. What child could ask for more? What parent could ask for more?"
Molly harrumphed. "My, aren't you the proud father," she joked lightly, causing Arthur a small grin.
"Yes, I am. Our Ginny and our Ronnie had enough love to see their friends through a battle with You-Know-Who's closest followers. What parent wouldn't be proud of them, standing up for each other, being there when their friends would have died without them?
"As for Harry, were he not in the middle of things, I'd be dead. Period. Don't we owe it to the boy to support him in the fight against You-Know-Who?"
Arthur's hand returned to Molly's shoulder, and her head again sagged to his chest. Arthur's arms wrapped around his wife, engulfing her in his warmth, and he lightly kissed her head. The couple quietly shared what comfort they could, knowing all too well that very difficult times lay ahead.
Finally, Molly pulled away from Arthur, straightened herself up, and squared her shoulders. "Alright then, you said something had come up?"
"It seems that once Sirius' name was cleared and he was declared dead, the Malfoy's long-standing petition for the Black holdings became active again. The case was over and approved before Dumbledore caught wind of it."
Molly's jaw dropped and her face went white. "But Arthur, that means that all that money... this estate..."
"It's not all that bad, dear. Apparently Sirius spent the last year selling what properties the Blacks held - besides this house - and that he moved the Black holdings at Gringotts from family vaults to other accounts. I suspect he made provision for Harry and Remus, as well as Tonks, if I'm not mistaken. This house is all that Narcissa Malfoy will inherit. We have about 36 hours to clear out."
"But Arthur, there's no way we can clear all the magical artifacts and books out of here in time. Think of the things they'll get their hands on-"
"Ah, Dumbledore thought of that, and his solution is simply brilliant. Albus told Mundungus that, if he can move all the magical artifacts to safety in that time, old 'Dung gets to keep every mundane item he can grab. And Dung's got every Order member - us and the kids included - at his disposal."
Molly harrumphed again. "That's all well and fine, Arthur, but what's to keep that man from nicking an amulet or book for his own, seeing as anything magical will be far more valuable than the silver or the furniture."
"Albus asked Moody to oversee the operation - not to run it, just to keep an eye on it, so to speak."
"Alright then," Molly said as she took off her apron and set it on the counter. "I suppose we'd best get started. I can't say I'm at all disappointed to leave this house, no matter how safe it was."
As they left the kitchen, Arthur turned to her and said, "You know, this is indeed a day for the record books. Molly Weasley leaves a kitchen in disarray to join Mundungus Fletcher in ransacking a house. I must say I'm shocked."
With narrowed eyes (and a bit of a smirk, truth be told), Molly locked her arm in his, and led him to join the others.

In August 1914, the world was plunged into conflict. In the following four years the First World War impacted men and women of all ages. The students and staff of University College London had many different experiences of these years - some of which will be explored in Voices of War: UCL in World War I, a new exhibition opening in May 2014.
Voices of War will be the product of a four months long collaborative process between 29 Institute of Archaeology students for the MA in Museum Studies Exhibition Project. In conjunction with the exhibition, we are also hosting a Dana Centre event at the Science Museum.
This tumblr blog will be a space for sharing some of the inspiring quotes, images and songs related to our exhibition.

Wasn't my cup of tea
The main thing that turned me off was that there were no subtitles. It wasn't that easy to understand. Graphics weren't that bad tho

these seem to get progressively worse as the guy who makes this goes on. it pretty well sucked. stick to banana fingers. btw, the song at the beginning was "alice deejay - better off alone": the only good part of this imo
Rated 5 / 5 stars September 26, 2005
Fuckin' cool
However, what was the name of that song at the beginning? Techno is better than metal (unless it's German metal).
