Wood admits the stories are not all sugar-coated, but rather give a full understanding of who her sister was.

Woman's exceptional care, centered on you
Frequently Asked Questions About Surgery and General Anesthesia
When should I come to Pre-Surgery Center for testing?
It is preferable that you come in at least a day or two prior to your procedure date to allow time to obtain lab results and completion of the entire process. You may pre-admit up to 30 days prior to your procedure date.
How long does pre-admit testing take?
The entire process from registration through testing should take about 1 1/2 hours. There are times when the volumes are high and it may take longer if you have not scheduled an appointment.
Where can I park the day of surgery?
Parking is available in front of the hospital in parking lots B or C.
Where do my family members and/or visitors wait?
A staff member will instruct your family/visitors where to wait while you are having your procedure.
Will I need an IV?
Yes, every patient who has surgery at Woman's Hospital has an IV (intravenous) line started before going to the operating room. This IV line is used to give you medications and fluids directly into the vein.
Why will I have a tube in my throat?
Usually a tube is needed to keep your airway open during surgery. The tube is placed in your throat after you are asleep and removed before you wake up. This may cause you to have a scratchy feeling in your throat after surgery. If you have questions about this, please call the Anesthesia department at 225-924-8149.
Will someone be with me the entire time I am asleep?
Yes. The anesthesia care team includes both a doctor who is an anesthesiologist and a nurse who is a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA). This type of team provides the best anesthesia care. At least one member of the team will be with you the entire time you are asleep.
Where will I wake up?
After your surgery is over, you may begin to awaken as you are transported to the recovery room. There you will continue to wake up. Most people do not remember the early waking process.
Will I hurt when I wake up?
Some pain after surgery is to be expected. However, the amount of pain varies depending on the individual and the type of surgery you have. Your doctor will have ordered pain medications to be given if you need them. We will keep you as comfortable as possible.
Can I drive myself home after surgery?
No, you must have a responsible adult drive you home from the hospital, and someone to care for you for the first 24 hours after your procedure. You may be picked up at the covered and convenient Med-Surg Dischange, on the west side of the hospital beyond the Assessment entrance.

By Matt Erickson and John Morgan, MMAJunkie.com
Strikeforce fighters have been clamoring to cross over to the UFC, but it hasn't really been the other way around.
But this fall, Frank Mir (16-6 MMA, 14-6 UFC) will slide over from the UFC to fight Strikeforce heavyweight tournament winner Daniel Cormier (10-0 MMA, 7-0 SF) under the Strikeforce banner, news that first was reported by USA TODAY Sports and MMAjunkie.com.
And according to UFC president Dana White, it took "not much" convincing to get Mir to take the fight.
"It makes all the sense in the world when you really think about it," White said Thursday after a news conference for Saturday's UFC on FOX 4 event in Los Angeles. "Mir just lost. Who's had more title shots for the heavyweight division in the UFC than Frank Mir? This guy's been with the company for 11 years.
"For him to get the opportunity to go fight Cormier, and Cormier to have the opportunity to fight Mir, it really does make sense. If Cormier smokes Mir, or the other way around, it's good stuff."
Cormier, after a fairly lengthy layoff with a broken hand, in May beat Josh Barnett in a dominant unanimous decision to win Strikeforce's heavyweight grand prix.
Although Cormier, Strikeforce officials told MMAjunkie.com, is not the promotion's heavyweight champion, but merely its heavyweight tournament winner with a "trophy" belt, White said it would be a mistake if Cormier-Mir is not a title fight.
"It should be a title fight," White said. "(Cormier) won the tournament – he's their heavyweight champion. Whether he's there for one fight or 10 fights, he's their guy. That's not my world, but as far as I know, it's for the title. And if it's not, that's ridiculous – it should be."
Strikeforce officials told MMAjunkie.com it has not yet been determined if the fight will be three rounds or five, but that it won't be for a belt.
After the fight, Mir, a former heavyweight champion, is expected to return to the UFC. Cormier, who stayed to finish out the heavyweight tournament, is expected to move to the UFC and fight for the promotion for the first time likely in 2013.
Cormier initially was linked to a fight against former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia. That offer was rescinded, and White said Thursday that Sylvia never was in the running in his mind or that of CEO Lorenzo Fertitta.
"He was never considered by me or Lorenzo," White said. "If Tim Sylvia went out and beat somebody that it would make sense for him to come back to the UFC, then yeah. I keep hearing stuff, he's won however many in a row. But who has he beat? If he beats somebody that was worthy of him coming back, then yeah."
White, who has been critical of Sylvia since he left the UFC, said there's nothing personal between him and the heavyweight.
"Are me and Tim Sylvia best friends? Do we hang out on weekends? No," White said. "But I have that relationship with other guys, too, that fight in the company."
On Friday, Sylvia was announced for a fight in ONE FC against fellow former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski later this month. It will be the fourth meeting between the two, with Sylvia already having two wins over the Chicago-based fighter from Belarus.

Excellent Game!
This is a very novel attempt at interactivity. The player actually has to create elements of the game in order to progress. It was very entertaining and the graphics/music were fantastic.
Rated 5 / 5 stars June 5, 2010
Cool game! I like the fact to be creative yourself.
I read a few reviews and a lot of people find it hard.
I just found it a bit too easy.
You can solve most levels with a long spike, that's why.
For example that double weel with the cog inside.
Plz make more! I loved it.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars June 4, 2010
really cool
i liked the game although ill have to admit that i got stuck for a while trying to find the right way to the cog in the center of room H1
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars June 3, 2010
I give this game a nine out of ten. It really was very entertaining, but difficult. Good graphics and your levels were well thought out. I enjoyed this one because it didn't use such a bright color scheme. It was easier for me to concentrate without all the bright glittery colors, so good thinking there. I look forward to your next game!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars June 3, 2010
a real thinking game
you really have to think on each level cause not one level is identical

Go Hollie !
Judges not treating Hollie right!
Elise, Elise, Elise. Most interesting voice in the competition. Some of the others might sing perfectly but they are very boring,
Judges need to treat Holly with more respect! Everyone vote for Hollie!!!!
Skyleryou go girl
Hollie did a superb job. She sang from her heart and soul. I dont agree one bit with the judges! The are being bias. Vote for Hollie!
Hollie was better than they said.
Home town girl does it up big. We love you Skylar
Judges are praising Jessica and Joshua way too much. We'be all got the message that they are good. Please let's hear some positives about the others. Personally I enjoy listening to Hollie, Phillips and Colton much more than Jessica and Joshua
American Idol judges, please stop picking on Holly. She is great and much better than the other girls who just scream. I hope America keeps Holly in and that she wins!
Seems strange to me that Jessica always sounds like the artist who's song she is singing and the judges love her, yet you don't really know her style or how she will sing on her own.
Hollie, however, sing fantastic with her own voice, yet she can't do anything right for the judges because she doesn't have as much stage experience as the others.
The Phillip delivers the same sounding performance every week without any variety to it and they love him.
skylar can be pitchy and they rave!
Vote Hollie!!!! Go Hollie! She is way better than they are giving her credit for. Watch the rerun and listen. Vote Hollie
Why is it that Steven is so down on Hollie. The man just cannot say one nice word about her singing. Jessica does no wrong in his eyes, I think she is better then Jessica.
Get rid of the country twang. Phillip Phillips is the next Idol. And Holly, she just needs to go.
Keepin it real.
What is the # to call to vote for skylar? joshua?
I agree, Skylar almost screams and misses some notes and the judges call it great, Hollie sings it beautifully and the judges dont give her any credit.
If it was that bad it was only Randy that even offered any halfway positive comment, but none of the judges are giving her any constructive criticism.
I think Hollie is really great, and she really seems genuine
Please dont vote for Hollie. She us not all that great. Good but not all that. Plus, where is tha foul accient from? Let her down gentle but let her go!
@ Debbie …because she's not as good as jessica
I have never seen such injustice dealt out by celebrities who are suppose to be non-bias judges. They ranted and raved about how great DeAndre was last week and then had the gall to not "save" him. ( I had no problem with Deandre leaving). Who are they waiting for to use the save….Jessica? That awkward silence after Hollie sang….it was to see if the judges were going knock her down again, they did, but a little more delicately. These are the same judges that thought Heejun and DeAndre were better singers than Hollie. Put Jimmy in as a judge, Nigel, and Piers Morgan, they don't look as hot as JLO but they seem to tell it like it is without all the drama….
I love Jesica!
Hollie is NASAL!
Elise…I agree that the judges and producers seem to be desperate to force her down our throats. I don't quite get it. She is just ok to me, seems to have a bad attitude when she lands in the bottom, and often misses notes completely.
Skylar…she has a nice tone when she's not screaming and jumping around, but am I the only one who notices that she frequently rushes the song and consequently screws up the lyrics throwing off the band?
Hollie…I feel like the judges and producers are trying to forcefully sacrifice Hollie in the same way they are desperately trying to save Elise. She was not nearly as bad as they made her out to be. They may as well have told her she sucked and not let her sing.
Jessica…Sings well but doesn't have a "star" presence to me. She also doesn't bring anything new or different to the songs. It's very…expected. She sang out of tune with Joshua tonight…but the judges pass right over it. Are they hearing something totally different than the TV picks up?
The remaining guys are all different in their own right with clear personalities. It's been a decent season…I just don't care for the feeling that things are already set in motion for how the show wants them to end up. After all, isn't it supposed to be our choice
None of the singers measure up to last year or before, mediocore at best. Now the judges are getting uglier and uglier towards contestants they feel inferior…..like HeeJUN. Fox TV we want new judges, why not let us, the viewers submitt names of persons WE think should be judges….I still remember the National Anthem with Tyler…..
Jessica is unique… She is the best singer of them all…
Jessica is very good…I like Skylar and Elise too… It was so funny that theyre pimping that lady on Joshua's number on him… Ewww! They're both sisters!
All the remaing contestants are great! I would have to say Skylar is way more nasal than anyone else and that the judges are not being fair with Hollie. I thought they really got wrapped up in the title "Perfect" and didn't really tell her what they thought was wrong with her performance.
Noah's right, Jessica does mimic the voice of whom ever song she is performing. Hollie sings with her own!
Hope Hollie gets to stay!
Joshuah Ledet is going to be a big star whether he wins or not. He is so consistent because it's natural.
I didn't like any songs they sang tonight!…….thou, I think it's Jessica vs Joshua on the finals……..
America vote! The judges are just functioning as drama creaters, really Judges? They are celebrities called judges, it is obvious, reading blogs, that they don't give their honest opinions, it is US, the viewers, to Vote and show who are the Real judges….You know why they let us vote so much? Numbers are a great way to show their success. Go back to one vote each for the truth….and Hollie you are pretty good…
Yes, Hollie get's to stay for 1 more night…..
How desperate was the celebrity plug for Elise? Randy was practically begging for votes for her…what is the deal?
She is awful and has a bad attitude to boot. Did anyone catch her attitude the first couple of shows where she landed in the bottom? She acted like it was ridiculous that she wasn't in the top…nice ego. By the way, you miss half the notes you sing. Having a weird voice isn't going to hide the out of tune notes.
Nice going AI, you've really proven it's not about talent.
Judges should just show Holly the door. It would be kinder than humiliating her on stage. She did great tonight. Better than Elise. Those who run Idol need to be careful. We (the audience) are not stupid. It was very obvious the judges knew what they were going to say to Holly before she even sang. The judges are being paid the big bucks. I guess they do as they are told. Conscious? What conscious?
I wouldn't mind if they sent Elise home. I agree she has a bad attitude. Skylar & Joshua are great.
Hollie needs to go. If she doesn't then it should be Elise!
I love Jessica I watch only for Jeesiica' to give the next concert , and forget this is AI . She will be a icon, just wait and see.
Why oh why does Joshua get a standing ovation from the judges??????? Judges should give constructive criticism and not show favorite! WE NEED SIMON BACK. Or at least give us Jimmy. Although Joshua can sing he is on tha BOTTOM of my list!
I thought Hollie did fine! I don't know why the judges were so iffy about saying she was good. I think Phillip should go…he doesn't impress me much.
Hollie is too AWESOME for the judges to admit, just like Haley was last year!!
I love Jessica and Joshua, two powerhouse performers! I wish them all the best and hope they make it to the finals.
I agree Elise doesn't have the best attitude of the lot, but she got stuck singing a song the first week she didn't want and she did a bad job of hiding that fact. Her voice would sound good on a record with all the inflections it has. It's not for everyone but it's by no means 'weird'.
The judges are too tough on Hollie but maybe it's a tactic to get people to dial in thinking she needs to be saved. Joshua was overpraised tonight. I had no idea who he was other than a male version of Fantasia scrambling through an up tempo song, which she was not very good at delivering all those years ago…
i think that the Bottom 3 is hollie covenagh,skylar gray & elise or joshua ledet
They all have good or even great voices and personality-wise they also seem okay.
But let's face it apart from Phillip they're all karaoke singers . Nothing really original. So I'm rooting for him!
My favorites are Skyler and Colton.
My favorites are Skyler and Colton. Jessica and Joshua are getting too much praise from the judges.
My favorites are Elise, Philip and Colton – they are artists……it's in their blood and you can tell it by the way they perform. Elise and Philip are fantastic and fun to watch – they enjoy themselves:) I agree they give WAY to much credit to Jessica and Joshua – way too much.
Come on guys…Colton is a rocker. He's great…really…Phillip and Elise have way too much "attitude" to win this. Elise can't take constructive criticism, and Phillip is way too hung up on "just trying to be himself", and frankly, he's not that great to be so stuck on himself. (hence:" they enjoy themselves"). It's about the "whole package"
You may not like Jessica and Joshua but they at least have talent..humbled by it
They do pick on Hollie and it is very clear to see.
oh!!! Pliz jessici rockes
Fantastic goods from you, man. I have be aware your stuff previous to and you're just too magnificent. I actually like what you have received right here, certainly like what you are saying and the way during which you are saying it. You make it enjoyable and you still take care of to keep it sensible. I can't wait to learn far more from you. This is really a tremendous website.
I disagree with the judges that america didnt vote properly for whom they thought was best and feel the judges showed gross favortism tonite for who they want to see win . Just because some can look better than others and present themselves better doesnt make them the most talented and the one that american wants as their idol I feel the attitude displayed by the judges tonite was improper and unfair to others in the competition who they probably would not have saved with such fervor
I totally agree with the last poster.. It was extremely unfair for the judges to react the way they did over the results..JLo especially. Oh well, the results are fixed after all to generate buzz and ratings.. Sad.
I'm more of a Voice gal myself, but I have to give American Idol props for staying ahead of the curve, especially with X-Factor on the way!

The dollar rose against a basket of major currencies on Friday as investors bet U.S. interest rates would rise more quickly than expected.» Read More
*China bank liquidity speculation underpins Aussie. TOKYO/ SYDNEY, Sept 17- The U.S. dollar firmed on Wednesday, recovering from a setback in the previous session as investors awaited the Federal Reserve's latest guidance on U.S. interest rates.
*China bank liquidity speculation lifts Aussie. SYDNEY, Sept 17- The U.S. dollar nursed modest losses early on Wednesday, having suffered an unexpected setback as jitters mounted hours before the Federal Reserve offers its latest guidance on interest rates.
Renewed sales of the Australian dollar were the main move on major currency markets on Tuesday.
Sweden's crown fell to a two-month low against the euro after the country elected a minority government.
The dollar index was headed for a ninth consecutive week of gains after retail sales data added to expectations that U.S. growth is gaining steam.
Britain stepped up its bid to become a leading trading partner with China with the launch of the first offshore renminbi government bond.
The U.S. dollar hit a six-year high against the yen and sterling recovered some ground after recent nerves over Scottish independence.
The dollar also trounced the Australian dollar and several emerging currencies on Wednesday, the latest sign of a long-awaited return of volatility.
Investors bet that the U.S. economy is growing at a pace that is likely to lead the Federal Reserve to begin raising interest rates next year.
LONDON, Sept 9- A robust dollar swept to a 14- month high on Tuesday as investors tweaked bets on an early hike in U.S. interest rates, burdening oil, gold and stocks in the energy majors. As the dollar broke to a six-year peak on the yen and a 14- month top against the euro, gold sagged to a three-month trough and Brent oil settled below the $100 a barrel mark.
Sterling plunged on fears over the outcome of Scotland's upcoming independence referendum and the Australian and Brazilian currencies also dropped.
BUENOS AIRES, Sept 7- Argentina's central bank chief, Juan Carlos Fabrega, met his Chinese counterpart on Sunday to discuss how a currency swap worth billions of dollars will be put into action, the Argentine monetary authority said.
The euro rose to session highs against the dollar after U.S. hiring in August fell far short of forecasts.
The euro hit fresh 14-month lows against the U.S. dollar and nearly two-year lows against the Swiss franc on Thursday.
The euro steadied against almost every other major currency on Wednesday after Ukraine said it has agreed on a ceasefire with Russia.
Uncertainty regarding the result of this month's Scottish independence referendum has weighed on the British pound.
The euro sagged on Tuesday to fresh one-year lows against the dollar on bets the ECB will do more to help a wobbly euro zone economy.
The euro hit a year-low against the dollar on Monday, as investors added to bets against the single currency before a policy meeting this week.
The dollar rose on Friday, with traders looking beyond soft U.S. consumer-spending data.
SHANGHAI, Aug 29- The yuan edged higher versus the dollar on Friday and is set to rise nearly 1 percent in August in the third straight month of gains, with China's improving exports helping boost market sentiment towards the Chinese currency, traders said.

Philadelphia • His coach called Jrue Holiday's slump "0 for the world."
Even as the misses piled up, Holiday never felt the weight of it on his 21-year-old shoulders. All he could do in a thorny Game 4 was laugh about his struggles with teammate Evan Turner.
"You've got to be happy when you play," Holiday said. "It really helps."
Boy, did it help Philadelphia in the final minutes against Chicago. Holiday busted out of a game-long slump with consecutive 3-pointers that stretched a one-point lead into seven and helped the 76ers beat the Chicago Bulls 89-82 on Sunday and take a 3-1 lead in their Eastern Conference playoff series.
"Don't fear the consequences," 76ers coach Doug Collins said.
It's the top-seeded Bulls who suddenly fear elimination.
Spencer Hawes scored 22 points and Holiday had 20 to put the Sixers one win away from joining the short list of eighth-seeded teams that have won a series against a No. 1 seed.
Andre Iguodala had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Sixers, who have won the last three games after losing Game 1.
Game 5 is Tuesday in Chicago.
The short-handed Bulls played without Derrick Rose (torn ACL) and Joakim Noah (sprained ankle). Rose is out for the season and Noah is day to day for the rest of the series.
In NBA postseason history, the eighth seed has won a first-round series against the No. 1 seed four times, including last season when Memphis eliminated San Antonio. Golden State (2007), New York (1999) and Denver (1994) also pulled off the rare feat.
"I'm not worried about it," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "I'm just worried about the next game. We do have more than enough to win with."
The Sixers won three straight playoff games for the first time since Allen Iverson fueled their run to the 2001 NBA finals.
Holiday was sensational down the stretch after a rocky first 3½ quarters. He missed his first five 3-point attempts until he nailed one to make it 77-73. He hit another the next time down for a seven-point lead to the delight of a roaring sellout crowd.
They were easily his biggest shots on a 7-of-23 night.
He expects to hear the same noise in the next round.
"We have to play like it's Game 7," Holiday said. "We want to win in Chicago."
The undermanned Bulls kept at it and refused to use playing without their two biggest impact players as an excuse. C.J. Watson, who scored 17 points, hit a step-back jumper to make it a two-point game.
In a whistle-happy game, Holiday went to the line with 51 seconds left and made both for an 84-80 lead.
Suddenly — and shockingly — the Sixers are a win away from taking a playoff series for the first time since 2003.
Carlos Boozer had 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulls. Taj Gibson chipped in 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Without a full roster, the Bulls barked at the refs, talked trash on the court and used every self-motivational tactic they knew to gain an edge on the Sixers.
Noah, injured in Game 3, took charge on the bench as head cheerleader. Wearing a protective walking boot, he clapped, cheered and offered instruction in the timeout huddle. Noah was needed more on the court than as a de facto assistant coach.
Boozer actively did his best to keep the Bulls in the game. He played through foul trouble to score 18 points through three quarters (matching his combined total for the first two games) and he fought for some of the tough rebounds Noah would grab.
It wasn't enough.
The Sixers made 22 of 31 free throws to Chicago's 11-for-14 effort. The Sixers only averaged 18.2 free-throw attempts this season.
"Bottom line, we've got to play better defense without fouling," Boozer said. "You can't cry about the referees. It's the playoffs. If we could hold them to 17, 18 points in the fourth quarter, maybe we win that game."
Iguodala played through right Achilles' tendinitis to make so many impact plays for the Sixers. He halted a Bulls run in the third with a 3 for a 57-56 lead. Bad leg and all, he still soared for a thunderous dunk on the break in the first half for an eight-point lead. One of the worst fourth-quarter foul shooters in the NBA, Iguodala even made both with 26.6 seconds left.
"I think the adrenaline carried me through the game," Iguodala said. "It's hard to get on your toes, that's the hardest thing."
Game 4 lacked the electric atmosphere early that accompanies a postseason game because the Broad Street Run was routed in front of the sports complex. The Wells Fargo Center was barely half full by tip and the announced crowd of 20,142 needed time to warm up.
By the time Holiday hit his 3s, the arena was going wild.
His sharp shooting in clutch time came at the right time after a slow start.
Holiday and Turner continue to befuddle Collins with their inconsistency. The under-25 starting backcourt followed a solid Game 3 with a combined 3 for 22 for eight points in the first half. Lou Williams, perhaps the league's top reserve, failed to bail them out with a 2-for-10 effort in the game. Their struggles were a key reason the depleted Bulls kept the score tight even without their two stars.
The Sixers crashed the boards early without Noah in the lineup and had 15 second-chance points in the half to grab a 10-point lead.
Hawes hit the go-ahead 20-footer late in the fourth for the Game 3 winner and he continued his hot hand into Sunday. He had made seven of his first eight shots, including a 3-pointer right before the second quarter buzzer to send the Sixers into halftime with 44-42 lead. Notes: Boxer Bernard Hopkins, former NBA great Dolph Schayes, former Sixers great Julius Erving and actor Bill Murray attended the game. ... Philadelphia last won a playoff series when it beat New Orleans in 2003. ... The Sixers hold a 3-1 lead in a best-of-seven series for the first time since the 1984 East semifinals. ... 76ers CEO Adam Aron said there was nothing the team could do about the start time.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Knox County's internal auditor may not have his job much longer.
The Knox County audit committee voted 4-1 Tuesday to recommend that the county terminate internal auditor Richard Walls over concerns about his work performance.
Dr. Joe Carcello, the chairman of the audit committee, told 6 News committee members were concerned about both the quantity and quality of his work.
Carcello said they specifically looked at where he was focusing his time and unreconciled differences in audits between Walls and the auditees.
He said other auditors had also voiced concerns over his performance.
Dr. Carcello, along with Commissioners Ed Shouse, Amy Broyles and Dave Wright voted in favor of the recommendation. Mary Kiser voted against it.
Commissioner Shouse told 6 News that Walls only completed three audits last year, but the expectation is that five or six would be completed.
Those audits include investigations into the Beck Cultural Center, Hardin Valley building expense and an ethics audit.
Shouse also said that Walls didn't look into areas where the county is most at risk financially, such as the Trustee's office and the school system due to its large budget.
Knox County Trustee John Duncan III recently stepped down from his position as trustee after pleading guilty to official misconduct over a bonus scandal in which he paid both himself and others for online courses they never took.
This isn't the first time Walls has come under fire.
In 2009, he was the subject of a review by external auditing firm Alexander Thompson Arnold (ATA) after then-Mayor Mike Ragsdale filed a complaint against him.
If Knox County commissioners vote to terminate Walls, they can then decide whether to replace him or go with an outside company.
They will vote on the recommendation July 22.

The choice came about with […] [Read More]

Science has had a good year.
It is possible to make petroleum products out of algae, there's 100 billion planets in our tiny corner of the universe and researchers can control other human's brains via the Internet.
That all sounds important, but will those developments improve your life in 2014?
Probably not, though I am going to set my aquarium back up and hope that algae to gasoline thing is true.
Fortunately, researchers in England are working on maximizing human happiness.
A whimsical Christmas study in the British Medical Journal concludes husbands need to be right to be happy.
Researchers conducted the study on just one couple, a woman who "would rather be right" and a "passive" husband.
Unbeknownst to his wife, the husband was instructed by researchers to " agree with his wife's every opinion and request without complaint. Even if he believed the female participant was wrong, the male was to bow and scrape."
The man and woman both filled out "quality of life" surveys each day. During the study, the woman's happiness level rose from 8 to 8.5 on a 1 to 10 scale.
The man's happiness level plummeted from about 7 to 3.
It is not known how long the study was supposed to last, but it ended abruptly on day 12 when the man snapped and told his wife he was only being so agreeable because they had become human guinea pigs.
The husband told researchers the "female participant became increasingly critical of everything he did."
The study concluded "being right is a cause of happiness, and agreeing with what one disagrees with is a cause of unhappiness."
Most ex-wives would agree.
From the unhappy files:

I liked that he snapped! I would not have made it after 15 minutes.
Now good news for those of us who lost our jobs in 2012, if Congress does its job (yeah, right), we just might have a chance at getting a job. Stop the credit history sharing to deny folks a job. Those of us who don't work or make way less than what we were earning, are not scum bags who walked out on the bills. We are still the same people who had morals and values and ethics, and a credit score could never prove otherwise. Look at Bernie Madoff, the Enron folks, Goldman Sachs directors: they all had wonderful credit histories but were morally and ethically bankrupt.

This study was amazing! BECAUSE several years ago, I was asked by my (now) ex-wife to overlook some questionable behaviors of her 19 year-old daughter. I refused to do so because I affirmed that it would not be "right to let her get away with this unacceptable attitude…" Then my wife tearfully and pleadingly asked me the question that blew my mind…"Well, would you rather be right or happy?" I wrote about it in my book "Chocolate and Biscuits for Jezebel"
Absolutes in this day and age are rare. That's why people living in between absolutes more often seek therapy to help them gain firm footing in their "gray" world. Astounding!!

Your problem is you are comparing your self inflicted problems to those of others. If you would have saved money for those rainy days and stormy years like we ALL KNEW would come, then you would not be in the sour pickle that you are in. Half of society doesn't live like you do, so those that do right should reap the rewards of a coveted job over you. The FACT that you did not save money to pay for your bills that you knew would come (job or not), shows a lack or RESPONSIBILTY and plannning. If you cannot handle your own finances, why should an employer trust you to do the same with their money and/or business. Like it or NOT, your personal life is a reflection of what kind of an employee you will be.

Well there are a lot of unhappy husbands out there because men are hardly ever RIGHT about anything! They do not think logically nor will they change. If men are happy, it is because their wives are lying and telling them they are right when they are dead wrong.
Men cannot survive without women, but the just the opposite is true for the gals. Woman are more happy when they don't have to lie and stroke those male egos. It takes too much work on the part of the woman to stay in a happy marriage. The men don't change, they just blame it all on the wman when it fails.
Men refuse to evolve out of their cave man mentality. Woman can change, improve, and reinvent themselves but men either can't or won't do it. And just look at what you men are teaching your sons. If men cannot adapt, then there will be no more husbands (or ex-wives).

I would say I'm most unhappy when I'm right. When the family doesn't listen to my good advice and things turn out bad as I predict it usually leads to sad times.

Truth Paste,
I've known so many ladies who are miserable because they cannot find a man, keep a man, or don't like something about the man they have…
It seems that no matter what women do they are unhappy about something which is why they set off on some endeavor which ultimately leads to more unhappiness until they find Mr. Right.
December 19th, 2013

If a man stood in a forest without his wife around, and said something right, would he still be wrong?
Too funny, women do absolutely think they are always right. Especially this BS "women's intuition" crap. I learned a long time ago, if you predict before every long put in golf, that it will go in, you will eventually be right. And then you can claim you have amazing intuition.
Somehow women are amazingly good at forgetting the millions of times their intuition wasn't accurate…… Oh well, they are still darned worth it!
December 19th, 2013

Truth Paste,
Men marry women hoping they will never change. Women marry men hoping to change them.

It's both the men and women who haven't matured enough that make it devastatingly difficult for those of us that know compromise is the only way to go.

"The study concluded "being right is a cause of happiness, and agreeing with what one disagrees with is a cause of unhappiness."
Yet another (probably government funded) study that concluded what almost everyone already knew. One other favorite study scam is to go for an attention grabbing splash with a totally off the wall finding, like the one earlier this week that said multivitamins are useless.

Every wife in the Universe knows that a man is never happy unless he's always right! That's why they don't stop and ask directions……

UN-Habitat, through its Cities and Climate Change Initiative (CCCI) supports local governments to more readily respond to the climatic threats faced by cities and their populations (building Climate Resilience). It further aims to take steps in reducing cities' climate footprint (Climate Change Mitigation).
CCCI is now globally active in 40 cities. UN-Habitat provides support in the development of climate change vulnerability assessments and climate change action plans. In some countries CCCI supports policy processes: urban and local government concerns are integrated in climate change policies and urban policies need to recognize climate change
A number of tools in support of local action have been developed. Capacity development programmes in partnership with local government training institutes and universities are underway.
For more information please contact: email@example.com or visit http://www.unhabitat.org/ccci.
CCCI in the Asia-Pacific Region
In the Asia-Pacific Region, CCCI continues to expand, now supporting 30 cities. A regional strategy supports the further expansion. The regional programme brings local partners together to jointly learn and share experiences on themes such vulnerability assessments and planning for climate change, urban ecosystem based adaptation, climate change and multilevel governance.

Date: March 3, 2010

A recent event involving recertification of the beam line interlock systems highlights the communication challenges that can occur during maintenance and operation of the NSLS. The NSLS is a complex facility and work on systems often requires coordination between different functional groups within the department. A key component of that coordination and planning is clear communications. This has long been recognized and there are several established review and permitting requirements for completion of complex tasks designed to facilitate that communication, but no process is perfect and this highlight is intended to remind the reader of the challenges and importance of assuring that everyone involved in a project has the same information.
The event here involved modifications to the X-ray ring interlock systems to install a master reset for clearing faults that result from electrical power interruptions or from work completed during maintenance periods. The new reset will allow the faults to be cleared from X-ray Security Rack and so forego having to reset at each individual beam line. The work was planned, a design review was completed, an Interlock Working group meeting was held, and permits were exercised yet still not everyone had the same understanding of the scope of work and differences in installation at the beam lines resulted in some beamlines being enabled without the proper recertification. Once realized, the appropriate recertification was completed with no adverse finding so all the lines operated with full interlock protection.
Some points to consider:
There is much detail absent in this short highlight. Anyone interested in learning more about this event is encouraged to contact any member of the NSLS Interlock Working Group.

Several days ago, a news outlet reported that a company now exists which offers businesses a unique service: the company will scour the social media on behalf of employers to discover what job applicants and employees are posting, and have posted, on social media sites such as Facebook and My Space. Apparently, this company has the ability to even discover postings that have been deleted. Read More»
As the pastor of a local church that is attempting to minister to people during difficult economic times, I fully understand that a church cannot give to every person in need. There's always a limited supply of money and there will always be an unlimited amount of need.
In our church, during these tough times, we try, as best we can on limited funds, to first assist those of our congregation who are hit by the economic crisis. Once in a while, we may be able to help some in the community. Unfortunately, we simply can't meet every need. Read More»
When I was at East Tennessee State University working toward my Bachelor of Social Work degree, I learned of the "Crab Effect."
The Crab Effect can be illustrated in the following story:
While vacationing in Florida, a man observed a bucket of crabs on a fishing dock. While all of the crabs were either motionless or squirming at the bottom of the bucket, one little crab kept crawling up the side in an effort to reach the top. Read More»
In the police world and in the professional sports world, a rookie stays a rookie for about a year. I'm not sure when the rookie status comes to a close in the motorcycling world, but, if a year is the standard, then I am no longer a rookie.

Robert Emmett Judge was killed on Sept. 11, 2001. The son of Irish Catholic immigrants, Judge was one of a pair of fraternal twins. He grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., during the great depression and developed, at an early age, a love for the poor, often giving his last quarter to beggars on the street.
Judge's father died of a slow and painful illness when the boy was 6 and Judge worked to shine shoes to earn money for the family. At the age of 15, he entered a formation process to become a Franciscan. Read More»
Back in the spring some bureaucratic types in the Great State of New York announced plans to ban certain kid's activities on playgrounds. Legislation was apparently introduced to "protect" kids from the horrors of dangerous activities.
What was banned? Games like "mumbley peg," which all the kids in my neighborhood played back in Tennessee, a game that involved throwing knives? Nope.
BB gun battles, which I also regularly engaged in during neighborhood conflicts in the surrounding woods? Nope.

When I was about to enter the 8th grade, I decided to go out for football at Ross N. Robinson Junior High School in Kingsport, Tenn.
The problem with that was that I had never played football (nor had I been on any organized sports team), had only been to one live football game, and was nowhere close to being athletic.
In those days, not everybody who went out for the team was selected. There were about 35 uniforms and if a student wasn't in the top 35, he got cut. Read More»

Good for Baby with Sensitive Skin
My 15 month old has mild eczema and her skin dries out very easily. So far this is the only baby wash that has helped to retain moisture in her delicate little skin. It is a creamy wash, so you don't get a "squeaky clean" feel when using it as shampoo, but for sensitive skin it is the best I have tried.

Excellent product, smells great!

Chalk Paint on Brass Lamps
Vintage, brass lamps, like this pair I picked up at a storage unit sale, are easy to find and, thanks to Chalk Paint®, easy to transform too. Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan adheres effortlessly to metal surfaces without requiring any primer. I painted a base coat of Old Ochre and then applied a wash of French Linen over that. I finished the lamps with clear wax, followed by dark wax.
Now these previously unimpressive brass lamps are an elegant pair.
I always show these brass lamps to customers at Loot when they ask if Chalk Paint really sticks to metal. Everyone wants to touch them to see if they are actually made of brass because the new Chalk Paint finish makes them look like wood.
This post is linked to the parties on my sidebar.

Chalk paint is amazing! Those look like turned wood lamps. Great job! I love them!

Beautiful! I loved them so much, I tried to do something like it today. I have a problem though everytime I paint on metal. When wiping off the wash and/or waxing, the paint goes off at some "protruding" (?) parts , revealing the brass underneath. What am i doing wrong? Shouldn't the paint adhere? Would it help to let the paint cure overnight or something?
Thanks for the inspiration!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
epsilon343 I completely agree, up until now we have one single instance added which is also high quality, but the rest of these changes (especially for this content patch) involve a staggering amount of cut and paste, same bosses, amour all looks identical etc.
Even Naxx was surprising to see just dropped in there with no graphical re-working to match the quality of northrend.
I do believe the B-team are in charge of things and have been so since the launch of WotLK with the bulk of the development staff heading off to the new MMO. Personally I think this is a huge mistake and would even question the whole approach to creating a new MMO here, annoying the player base for your current game isn't a great way to get them to subscribe to your new one, something which is especially true of MMO's.
Add to that I think this patch sort of underlines a sense of desperation in the way its needed, outside of Uldar now everything else is just too plain easy and does not give me a sense of accomplishment because of that.

Chicago police officer Samantha Smith and her partner officer Kevin Tate were heading back to the station Tuesday evening when they saw smoke billowing out of a West Pullman building.
SEE: Firefighters, police officer among 8 hurt in West Pullman fire
In a matter of seconds, both would find themselves on the scene of a chaotic fire, with two children hanging out the second story of a burning building.
Officers Smith and Tate knew they had to act fast.
"We jumped out of the car, and we both, not thinking ran toward it and ran in and discovered that the smoke was too strong and we came out and heard kids yelling and people yelling that people were trapped inside the house," Smith remembers.
The fire too was too intense to enter the building. Officer Tate knew time was running out.
"We had to figure out something to do to get the kids," Tate recalled. "It wasn't a wait moment. Let's try to put a plan together and get the kids."
But there was only real way to save the two kids, 8 and 11 years old. Get them to jump out the window.
"There was a citizen below telling him to jump and he would catch him. I told him to hold on, let's all get together and see if we could catch them," Tate tells FOX 32.
Officer Smith said she begged the first child to leap. It worked.
"It was like everyone's hands were inside, so when he started to come down, we just all made a move in so he would brace," says Tate.
Officer Smith injured her arm when they caught the second child.
"I feel pretty good considering the circumstances," Smith says. "I'm just happy that the kids got out safely."
As for all of the hero talk, these officers have a different take on how things went down.
"I don't feel like we are heroes," Smith says of the situation. "I feel like God put us in that place. He just used us, that's all."
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Seven people were injured including two firefighters.

Regarding the differences, is there any chance that you were looking at the Device Engine section of the installation docs as opposed to the Protocol Provider section which is the area of the GUI where the screenshot is from......?
SMPP Device Engine - p167-173 (specific device engine for a protocol, in your case SMPP)
SMPP Protocol Provider - p209-213 (individual protocol provider settings for SMPP communication service used by the device engine)
Hope this helps
Mmmnn, I looked at this as well and I suspect Barry is correct, as the SMPP Provider Details table matches exactly what you've posted in the screenshot. Pls let us know if we can help further.
BTW, updated manuals for the latest patch are being posted today.
Most of the settings in the SMPP protocol provider, are over rides for the same settings in the SMPP device engine, for the device engine settings you only need to provide ia a Name for theProtocol Provider (you can put your provider's name here, or your companies mane here like "Acme's SMPP Provider"
Number of retries, how many times should we retry failed trasactions with the provider
Retry interval, how long to wiat between retries
Max Session Size, how many notifications we hand to the provider each time we connect/chat with them.
For the SMPP Device Engine, most of the required fields would be providered by the Service Provider, like is you connected to AT&T via SMPP, AT&T would provide
Server Address
Server Port
Connection Mode
System ID
Let me know what more detail I can add to help you out here

Hindus to sue RSPCA for death of the sacred cow Gangotri4,921 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Hindus to sue RSPCA for death of the sacred cow Gangotri
By Radha Mohan Dasa
28 March 2008
Hindu leaders and monks called today on the RSPCA headquarters at Horsham, West Sussex to serve a legal notice proposing to sue the RSPCA over trespass to land and goods, in relation to the highly emotive killing of the temple cow, Gangotri at Bhaktivedanta Manor temple, Watford. The solemn procession of monks marched slowly and silently into the RSPCA headquarters and delivered the letter by hand.
The temple has alleged that on 13th December, RSPCA officials turned up with a 'pretend warrant', distracted the main farmers elsewhere with normal conversation, while an RSPCA vet proceeded to euthanize an unattended Gangotri without informing the temple. This was done despite assurances given by the RSPCA on 12th December that they would not take any action on Gangotri without giving the temple sufficient time for a wider consultation and legal advice.
"We believe that the RSPCA act was illegal, unnecessary and high-handed," said Gauri Dasa, President of Bhaktivedanta Manor, who led the team of monks serving the legal notice today. "The Hindu community in Britain is appalled by the lack of integrity in their behaviour. They want the facts to come out. No compensation will be adequate to address the loss of Gangotri, whose life was taken through deception and damaged the feelings of our faith community."
At a meeting last fortnight with the Justice for Gangotri Taskforce, Hilary Benn, Secretary of State for Environment and Rural Affairs assured the community that a 'protocol' would be defined by DEFRA on how to deal with animals at Hindu temples.
"Qualified vets who were caring for Gangotri never thought she should be killed," continued Gauri Dasa. "But what is shocking is that the RSPCA, without any form of apology or remorse, now suddenly started writing to Hindu community leaders inviting them for a round table meeting."
Last week, Peter Ainsworth MP, Shadow Secretary for the Environment visited the temple and issued a statement saying that the RSPCA acted wrongly and the killing should not have happened as it did. Peter Ainsworth MP said ?I agree that it will be important to establish the truth of what happened, partly so that justice can be done to Gangotri? s memory, partly to ensure that the integrity of the Manor is upheld, and partly so that lessons can be learnt. I will be asking Hilary Benn to report on progress since the meeting he held with representatives of the Hindu community. It is clear to me that what happened on 13th December was not acceptable or right.?
The Justice for Gangotri Taskforce is supported by major Hindu organizations around the country including the National Council of Hindu Temples UK, Hindu Forum of Britain, Vishwa Hindu Parishad UK, International Society for Krishna Consciousness and the BAPS Swaminarayan Temple, Neasden.

Editor' s Notes
On 13th December 2007- the RSPCA illegally entered the grounds of Bhaktivedanta Manor and gave a lethal injection to Gangotri, one of the temple? s sacred cows Immediately afterwards Hindu leaders from across the UK were united in condemnation of the RSPCA? s callous and disrespectful behavior, and said it was an attack on Hinduism itself.
There were protests outside the RSPCA? s headquarters on 26th December, and another demonstration took outside Parliament Square and the DEFRA offices on 13th February
Barry Gardiner MP for Brent North, who had was present at the London demonstration reassured Hindus that the Secretary of State of DEFRA, Hiliary Benn MP was looking into the actions of the RSPCA and would look seriously at procedures and protocols of animal welfare.
Organisations that took part in the protest included the Hindu Forum of Britain, National Council of Hindu Temples, VHP UK, Hindu Council of Brent, ISKCON, Swaminarayan Hindu Mission and several other national and regional Hindu institutions.
The Hindu protest against the actions of the RSPCA was held on the same day that a British delegation paid their final respects to Gangotri by scattering her ashes in the holy river Ganges in the ancient pilgrim city of Prayag in India, where the Kumbha Mela is held and in Varanasi. The remainder of the ashes were scattered in Haridwar , known as the gateway to the Himalayas, and Vrindavan, the home of Lord Krishna.

Aquarium glue is somewhat a touchy subject as far as the aquarium hobby is concerned. Various types of glues are used in this subject for different purposes. Some of these are dry clear and invisible and others just hold on to the water as in a fish tank glued with the silicon base glue. Silicon glue is primarily used in order to form a waterproof bond in manufacturing and repair of various glass aquariums including the Fluval aquarium and Solana aquarium. These glues are also used in making fake aquarium and cool aquariums. You should always consider the safety of glue before purchasing one for your aquarium because certain chemical based glues release harmful chemicals into the water after certain time.
Aquarium Glue Types
Many people know it as super aquarium glue contains a substance called Cyanoacrylate. The super glue consisting 100% cyanoacrylate are harmful for your aquariums. This glue is easily available at various hobby stores as most of the hobbyists make use of this glue in various models. When you are purchasing this glue for the purpose of fragging, it is best to make use of the thicker version that usually sets slowly known as Gel or by some people as gap filling. Always make use of this thicker version as it is well known to fill irregularities of the coral in a better manner to plug/disk and provide a longer working duration. The gel glue is available at cheaper rates as compared to the other version.
Silicon Glue
Silicon sealants or adhesives are powerful and flexible glues that are used in different applications. Even though silicon sealant is not a strong adhesive as compared to the other sealants, but they remain very flexible even after fully drying up or fixing up. This aquarium glue can withstand the high temperatures thereby making it ideal for different applications that are exposed more to heat. These adhesives are available in different types and you can purchase a suitable one as per your requirements. You should try to purchase 100% silicone sealants that are aquarium safe in order to fix leakages, bonding rocks and other applications. You should avoid the silicon adhesives with mold inhibitors.
Aquarium Epoxy
It is another type of aquarium glue which is mainly used in the construction of aquarium. Before purchasing an aquarium epoxy you should make sure that the brand you are purchasing is reef safe. You should also check out the glue pH like for small and medium aquariums you can use glue having acidic pH. The acidic pH glue dries and hardens quickly enabling you to fill water in the aquarium within 24 hours. For the large aquariums you can make use of the glass glue. They take 2-3 days to dry and are more robust and resistant than the acidic pH glue. You can purchase this glue from various aquarium supply stores at discounted prices.
Therefore, before purchasing aquarium glue you need to keep various factors in mind in order to make an intelligent purchase.
