Healthy Manhattan: The Ins and Outs of IVF
Let's face it, babies are in the news. In fact, they are everywhere. Just walk down the streets of Manhattan and you will see the strollers that are as large as trailers coming at you with two, sometimes three children on wheels. But what happens when you are the one who can't get pregnant? What lengths will you go to and how much will you spend to have a family? Why is it some people can get pregnant on the first try, and others spend years trying to get pregnant? Is infertility on the rise?
Infertility affects million of couples in the U.S., with female infertility factors about one third of the time, male infertility factors about one-third the time and the rest a combination of unknown factors for both sexes.
Dr. Victor R. Klein, director of patient safety and risk reduction, specializing in high risk pregnancies at Long Island Jewish–Health System, in Manhasset, said, "When I started practice 20 years ago, 10 percent of the women had infertility issues, and I feel it is the same number [still]. The difference is people have the technology available and they are availing themselves of the technology, so those who couldn't become pregnant years ago are now becoming pregnant."
The second thing he noted was that many women who had delayed child bearing due to careers are getting pregnant in their late thirties and forties. "The vast majority do well," he said. "I had a woman who was 54 come to me and wanted children because she was retired and was financially stable. She gave birth to twins."
He also noted that people are more open now with communication. "Twentyfive years ago people didn't talk about infertility and now people are talking about it. Similar to people who had breast cancer 30 years ago and used to hide it from people, like it was a problem, that it was their fault or they should be embarrassed about it. Of course you shouldn't be. It's a disease where you can't get pregnant and you go for help."
Dr. Klein said many insurance companies have changed, and now cover infertility treatments. The first in vitro fertilization was performed in 1979, but infertility clinics really didn't start to rise until the 1990s. Now many people have infertility insurance, but there are usually caps. Most people are covered for evaluation and three cycles of in vitro before the insurance ends. Dr. Klein said about 90 percent of the time, women who try to get pregnant on their own are successful within a year, and women undergoing IVF have the same success rate.
There are many reasons why women are infertile. Sometimes the issue is an ovulation problem, which accounts for 25 percent of the cases where there is a flaw in the regulation of reproductive hormones. Another issue can be damage to the fallopian tubes, which would prevent sperm from getting to the egg. This can be caused by diseases such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. A previous ectopic pregnancy or previous surgery in the abdomen or pelvis can cause problems. Another contributing cause of infertility is endometriosis, when tissue that normally grows in the uterus implants and grows in other locations. Other problems can be fibroids or tumors, common in women in their thirties, which can impair fertility by blocking the fallopian tubes or disrupting implantation.
Some things put you at higher risk of infertility, such as age. Women over the age of 30 can have fewer and poorer quality eggs. Smoking increases the risk of miscarriage, along with damaging fallopian tubes. Heavy drinking is associated with increased risk of endometriosis and ovulation disorders. Being significantly over- or underweight can inhibit normal ovulation. A history of sexually transmitted diseases will cause damage to fallopian tubes.
Alisa, a pediatric physical therapist who did not want her last name published, spent five years and $50,000 in multiple attempts to get pregnant. First she used oral meds to get pregnant, and then tried artificial insemination, which resulted in two miscarriages. She then had diagnostic surgery, which revealed a problem with the uterus. After corrective surgery, an additional two IVFs failed. Frustrated, Alisa started looking into adoption and found a helpful website, IVFconnection.com, where she met other women facing similar problems and realized she was not alone.
"I asked myself the question, which was more important, having a baby or being a mom," she said. "Being a mom was paramount."
She started the adoption process and suddenly Alisa found herself pregnant without any help at all.
"The stars just aligned," she said. She now has a 5-year-old daughter. "Being a mom is the most incredible journey, watching her grow and develop. She makes me a better person."

After almost two years of hard work I have finally managed to complete the third installment of the Castle series. This is the first part out of four. I hope you enjoy.
cool x2
great but not alot of action as uasal
very good =D
wow =D nice ;)
Anyone know what the name of the music is when Etrius has his flashbacks?
I love how you redid the dragon, how it looked not-so-great in the 1st one, then totally amazing in this one. And the music is fantastic, too. I also never expected a stick figure animation series to be so well animated, and voiced, too.
This is one of the best series on NG, along with |~Snow Snow for Lucy~| (which is #1 right now), any of Johny Utah's works, Super mario 63, and maybe Tar boy (#6), too. This series is right up-to-par with 'em!
Congrats and good luck with the series!

WATCH/LISTEN: Jordin Sparks Goes Celine Dion on Demi Lovato
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011
Demi Lovato recently released a new song called "Skyscraper" about her breakdown/treatment/recovery from several issues. We've played the song several times. I (Frito) love it, but many of you thought she could have done a better job singing it. Well, Jordin Sparks decided to release a video of her singing it, which just seems kind of wrong to me. Anyways, here's the Demi version
Here's the Jordin version
And here's the old SNL Celine Dion sketch that this whole thing reminds me of:

Freddie Roach: Anderson is too big for GSP, wants to see Diaz V GSP.

and it wasn't "Oh he's bigger than me" like Anderson V Bonnar (different, I know, but still), it was "He's too big for me", already counting himself out. That shows a lack of confidence in his ability against Anderson.
George said he isn't comfortable going up in weight... not that he's uncomfortable because of Anderson. Also, there's no where George specifically mentioned Anderson (through Freddy).
The opinion that Anderson is too big is from Freddy... not George. Last I heard, George didn't want to talk about Anderson because he was focusing on Condit. I don't know how any of that equates to him not being mentally ready for anything.
I don't mind if you disagree, I always enjoy debating with you
Likewise bud.
I just don't see this huge supposed mental weakness in GSP that everything thinks he has. The guy fought Alves with a torn groin, and Sheilds with one eye... and dominated both of them with ease while being injured. Not to mention he threw everything including the kitchen sink at Fitch who just keep stomping forward like a freakin terminator. A mentally weak person would have broke under those situations.

Outwrite Bookstore & Coffeehouse is struggling to keep things going and has issued a plea for support.
"Although our doors are still open, our sales have not been immune to the downturn in the economy and the impact technology has on how people buy and read books," founder Philip Rafshoon said in an open letter to the community. "We're realigning our business model, refocusing our products and services, and upgrading the store to meet the changing needs of our customers and the community. But we can't do this without your help."
The LGBT bookstore, which has been located for 15 years at the corner of Piedmont and 10th Street in Midtown, is asking its supporters to step up their purchases of books, CDs, gifts, jewelry and other merchandise and also to consider booking the coffeehouse lounge for business meetings and even pitch in as volunteer workers.
"Please let us know if you are willing to share your expertise in web design, social media, marketing, bookkeeping, finance, banking, retail management, retail sales, collections and legal services," Rafshoon wrote. "We hope you agree that Outwrite is far more than 'just another business' but is truly a resource that the LGBT community and Atlanta cannot afford to lose and that we all need to help preserve."
Founded in 1993 to serve Atlanta's gay & lesbian community, Outwrite hosts a wide range of author events. Star Jones was there Tuesday signing "Satan's Sisters" and Pearl Cleage was there earlier this month signing "Just Wanna Testify." At 7:30 p.m. June 7, Steven Petrow will be there to sign "Complete Gay & Lesbian Manners."

Isn't this symptomatic of the lgbt stores in general though? As choices become more mainstream, the bookstores (& publishing houses) have been closing in recent years as the industry powerhouses have diversified their offerings.

"Pitch in as volunteer workers… share your expertise in web design, social media, marketing, bookkeeping, finance, banking, retail management, retail sales, collections and legal services,"
For FREE? While the owner still makes a profit? LOL Only if Outwrite became a non-profit community ran organization. Otherwise, my advise. Change your business model and take out a loan otherwise go out of business and let someone else open up shop in that corner spot.

I wonder if the AJC would run an article like this if it were a Christian bookstore?
May 26th, 2011
4:44 pm
I agree with Warren. They are asking people to work for them for free so they can make a profit.
I like Outwrite, but my time and services are worth something. Outwrite is not going to give me a free book , free food or drinks.
Most of their stuff (ex., DVDs, CDs) are just way overpriced.
My advice lower your prices on those, become more of a cafe, sell more drinks (maybe get a alcohol license) and food or sell adult videos.
I am self employed and would never ask people to work for me for free.

Yes, Fred, if Christian bookstores held the same social role that LGBT bookstores do. They never have.
May 26th, 2011
5:10 pm
@Fred–to add to what midtownblue said, I wouldn't be surprised if it were the singular Christian bookstore in the area. There are, however, quite a few of them. Not so for this bookstore.
May 26th, 2011
5:38 pm
Yes I would write an article about any struggling bookstore asking its supporters to help keep the doors open. I am a fan of the printed word.
May 26th, 2011
5:42 pm
The owner, Phillip Rafshoon, would NEVER consider doing anything for some other business if they made the same plea. His plea is 100% personally and financially motivated. Don't ever doubt that. Can't wait to see what goes in its place!
May 26th, 2011

It's the same problem with all bookstores..it's print media. Online and digital sales are where people go to purchase anything now.

Why can't we comment on race stories on ajc.com?
Why do the gays get a privilege for their stories that Whites don't get in stories about the ongoing and unstoppable black on white crime spree in Atlanta?
Why no opportunity to comment on why the civil rights leaders stay silent on black crime stories?
May 26th, 2011
6:03 pm
Maybe everyone's tired of supporting the in-your-face gay lifestyle… Finally. When you have commercials (Google), parades, protests (gay marriage), gay characters inserted in every show (Modern Family, etc.) and offensive crashing of church proceedings, people get fed up real quick. Close it down.
May 26th, 2011
6:06 pm
well sure, you're absolutely right. Warren would have difficulty doing any of those things if he isn't being paid wages for his professional services. apt observation.
frankly, i'm surprised this business owner didn't think about it: he's asking his customer base to provide services for free, and then somehow expects them to patronize his for-profit business. with what, good will? pretty sure his landlord wouldn't take a check for that.
no really. think about it.
May 26th, 2011

Jennifer: That's not the real Fred. I am. But I missed your article on the bookstore that closed here in Tucker………..
May 26th, 2011
6:08 pm
I'm gonna miss the bookstore but that's the way it goes. This guy has some nerve asking for guilt ridden volunteers to come in and prop up his *privately owned for profit* business. Is this some kind of joke?
May 26th, 2011
6:19 pm
First-Your statement is a contradiction. Why would "supporters" be tired of "supporting" the lifestyle?? Doesn't make much sense, does it?? I doubt very seriously that people like you have EVER supported a business such as OutWrite, therefore, your business will NOT be missed, because it was NEVER there.
Second-Like it or not, gay people aren't going anywhere so get used to them being "inserted" EVERYWHERE. Get used to them not settling for being 2nd class citizens and demanding EQUAL (not SPECIAL) treatment, get used to them being your neighbors, family members (even tho you may NEVER think that would be possible), co-workers, and bosses. I'm sure you think that demanding EQUAL rights is "in-your-face", and that's your right to feel that way. Just please keep your hatred and ignorance to yourself. Thanks!!
May 26th, 2011
6:31 pm
Dear Fred and the real Fred and any other Freds out there,
I did not hear anything about the bookstore you're referring to issuing this sort of public plea. If I had that would have been a fine topic to blog about as well.
May 26th, 2011
6:39 pm
Outwrite IS more than just another business. I'm guessing that most of the negative comments are from people who have never been in the store. It's important the LGBT community rally around Outwrite as it reinvents itself. Who hasn't ask for help at some point in their life? It's not like he's asking for cash donations–only the gift of people's time and talents.
May 26th, 2011
6:44 pm
I just want to lend my support to 'OutWrite'. Although I am straight, Christian, and a married Mom, I am of the belief that everyone should have a place/platform for their voices to be heard, and I know that this bookstore has been a cornerstone and safe haven for the LBGT community.
Sending blessings your way…

Lydia's Dad needs to get informed. The general public is becoming more and more accepting of gays and lesbians. In fact, the most recent polling suggests the majority of Americans support gay marriage. LD may be uncomfortable with gay people and its clear he doesn't like to see or think about them. What he can't do is make them disappear. I'm sure it's frightening to be LD since it's clear he sees the world through the veil of prejudice and intolerance.
May 26th, 2011
7:05 pm
I, like Lane, am a straight, Christian, married Mom. I have also shopped (and enjoyed coffee) at Outwrite. While it is definitely aimed at the LGBT community, there's nothing to keep a straight person from going in and finding something interesting to read. BTW, not EVERY SINGLE piece of literature in there is gay-oriented. Finally, you guys keep mentioning all the profit the owner is making… apparently that ain't the case or he wouldn't have made the plea!
May 26th, 2011
7:05 pm
You managed to twist the reason about the closing of a gay bookstore. Pathetic.
May 26th, 2011
7:08 pm
I hear what you're saying, and that's fine if it's nothing more than just another business. But what Outwrite has provided for 15 years goes beyond a business — it's community. It provides something in Atlanta that no other business provides. Besides, they're not asking everyone to give free labor — just those who are so inclined and who appreciate the value that Outwrite brings to the community. I don't know why the haters have to attack them for asking for help to make ends meet. Typical AJC blog. If you don't want to donate your time to a local business, then don't. Fortunately, there are others who will.
May 26th, 2011
7:14 pm
I meant to say "possible closing" but with the state of the economy…well, you know.
May 26th, 2011
7:33 pm
I feel the best he can do is just hope the economy picks up a bit. His business is not the only one suffering; his clientele are suffering as well. Surely he realizes you cannot squeeze blood from a turnip. I supposed he could renegotiate his rent or find a cheaper storefront.
I think asking for volunteers is a bit tacky, but if some people are willing to do it, then they should not be condemned for doing so.
I'm sorry his business is struggling, but I'm also sorry about the other 90% of small businesses that are struggling as well. He's in good company.
May 26th, 2011
7:54 pm
I for one hope they do close. One less gay "thing" to promote this horrible lifestyle. How far is our society going to go with the disillusion that people have rights based on the way they "choose" to live their life. Did you know there is a group of pedophiles in Atlanta organizing based on their right to exist like everyone else because they were "born" that way. Makes you think…if the homos have this right, who's next? I wonder how many people would support a Pedophile Bookstore?
May 26th, 2011
7:57 pm
I love going to have coffee and bring my laptop to read online and do work. I always want to go to Outwrite, but the problem is I have to give my laptop bag to the cashier and leave all my work material or try to pull everything I need out….not that convenient so I go to Starbucks or Caribou…I know for a fact that's why Caribou and Starbuck attracts more coffee drinkers.

What has the LGBT community done to raise awareness and outrage for the homosexual who came to the presidency hypocritically opposing gay marriage, was cheated into office exclusively by the Supreme Court's Roman Catholic bloc, then welcomed his male prostitute/lover, James Guckert/"Jeff Gannon," to his residence hundreds of times, with many "overnights?" The silence from the gay community was deafening about Bush's hypocrisy and evil. Because he is "one of their own?"

I don't think the owner is seeking help to land a financial windfall here; it sounds like he is just trying to get by. Since the economy has affected most everyone, some folks (who didn't realize the store was having troubles) might be out of work and could do some volunteer time. And, as the smart people know, volunteer work can lead to full-time employment when things turn around.

I just don't understand these anti-LGBT comments. You can't compare homosexuality to pedophilia. Homosexuality is between CONSENTING adults. And I don't understand why the LGBT community offends you people. They aren't telling YOU to be gay. Is your life affected by straight people you don't know being together? No. And it's not affected by gay relationships either. Just live your own damn life and stop worrying about which two people love each other. No one's hurting you or anyone else by being gay.

Kevin Cowtan and Robert Way
Note: Maintaining a scientific data set to professional levels of quality assurance is beyond our resources. These results are therefore presented as a best effort. Scientific results should ideally be based on data from a range of sources.
There are two versions of the temperature series. The version 1.0 series are monthly updates of the calculation as presented in Cowtan and Way (in press). These will be updated to include December 2013 and then discontinued.
The version 2.0 series are based on a more rigorous treatment in which the land and ocean data are reconstructed separately and then blended. Version 2.0 data are also based on the full HadCRUT4 ensemble, and include ensemble as well as coverage uncertainty estimates. The data are described in this update.
All except the long (1850-present) reconstruction are rebaselined on 1981-2010. Rebaselining the data on the period 1981-2010 enables the satellite data to be used for infilling, and in the v1.0 calculation increases the reliability of recent trends, but also discards some data which may impact the reliability of long term trends.
Temperature files contain 5 columns: date, temperature, total uncertainty (1σ), coverage uncertainty (1σ), ensemble uncertainty (1σ). Map data are in a similar format to the ascii files provided by Hadley or NCDC, i.e. 1 line with year and month followed by 36 lines of 72 values.
The land temperature reconstruction is used for air temperatures over land and sea ice, and the sea surface temperature reconstruction for open sea. Sea ice coverage is fixed for each month of the year, and is determined from HadISST using the period 1981-2010. For the long reconstruction (i.e. 1850-present) the median ice coverage in the given month of the year is used for each cell; for the short reconstructions (i.e. 1979-present) the minimum ice is used. Hybrid data use the hybrid approach for air temperatures over land or sea ice, and kriging for sea surface temperatures.
Temperature files contain 3 columns: date, temperature, standard deviation (1σ). Map data are in a similar format to the ascii files provided by Hadley or NCDC, i.e. 1 line with year and month followed by 36 lines of 72 values.

Today Alex and I spent a good hour reading NYT coverage from 2001 and just kind of gaping at it
I don't much like contemporary 9/11 coverage because (with the exception of the 9/11 glossary NYMag did last year, which was sheer perfection) it's mostly the same themes over and over again — tragic day, changed the very fabric of our nation, defined a whole generation in good and not-so-good ways
But I think what most of that stuff fails to get at is how absolutely horrifying 9/11 really was — I think it barely scratches the surface on what must have been apocalyptic levels of terror in lower Manhattan that day.
The New York Times put a kicker on their front-page article on Sept. 12, 2001: "A Creeping Horror." I read that story for the first time a few years afterward — it's basically an on-the-ground account of what was going on in the streets and in the towers before they collapsed — and it was like a punch to the gut. It's got this visceral quality about it that's very specific to that day — not the kind of thing you even try to replicate. It's not what we talk about when we talk about 9/11 because, frankly, we don't like to think about it. It's too much.
I was trying to make some sort of big sweeping statement here tying all these loose thoughts together, but the fact of the matter is that loose thoughts are all I really have about 9/11. It's too big and too complicated and too important for anything else, I guess. Long story short: Go read this story. It's worth it. I promise.

Does formal education as a child hinder a child's creativity?
I am writing on a paper on Education Systems restricting child creativity. On one hand formal education has it s benefits as it trains the human eye to notice things, place things in order. But on the other hand it sets certain limitations to a child's imaginative mind and forces him/her to produce stereotypical imagery of what they call 'art'
What are your opinions?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Carla TongaSep 29 2012: 'Formal education' could be defined as educating students or filling students with knowledge & basic facts .
A 'students creativity' could be defined as invoked expression or freedom of expression from an individual.
We can only begin to see the diferencebetween 'conformed education' & 'creativite expression' and factors that can drive a student either way are 1) A teachers ability to teach, communicate & invoke. 2) A students ability to learn. communicate & question.
In my opinion & observation, schooling through to High School education is based around conforming to the national standard guidlines & a teachers personal perspective of behavioural control. These two points are the blocking agent to any students ability to grow creatively.
i.e., The student has been the #1 art student of their year for 3 years in high school, they are submitting their final piece for the yearl.
STUDENTt: I painted my niece in soft shades of blue because it reminds me of her & makes me feel happy.
TEACHER: No that wont do, blue is a sad colour & you've ruined the whole portrait
STUDENT': Why does blue have to be a sad? this is my portrait not anyone else's
TEACHER: Because it just is. (teacher storms out of the room).
-- After that conversation, I was graded so low, I was pushed down to the bottom of the class. All it took was one personal perspective of an authoritive figure.
Another example is as an adult student in university, I noticed the struggle lecturers had trying to push personal opinion & artistic boundries with students straight from High School. Generally speaking you could almost say that Formal education is training our children how to think, how to act & how not to question authority. A teachers job is to teach and over all that is exactly what they do very well but the question is 'what are they teaching and how are they teaching it?

"Really good pub for live music and a humming atmosphere." in 5 reviews
"There was four bands all up and its so cool that in the future these guys can have their own photos up on the walls next to The Rolling Stones and U2." in 3 reviews
"It has a dedicated live music area behind closed doors complete with its own bar and stage." in 2 reviews
If you review this venue as only a bar you would get a low score, it's not the nicest looking place ever.
However it's superb as a live venue, it affordable in terms of entry fee, drink and food price and whilst the drink selection is limited, the food is great quality and you get a lot for your money.
This is a wonderful place to go to see live music and has a great atmosphere in the evening.
Can't believe I'm the first one to review this place!
"But Paul, why would i want to go to Putney?" I hear you cry. "Isn't that.. south of the river?"
Well, only just.
The Half Moon is one of the most historic Rock n' Roll venues in London, the fact it's a lovely pub run by friendly people who love what they do and the London music scene is arbitrary, EVERYONE has played here! I will go through a list of some of the greats in a moment, all their pictures can be seen adorning the walls of the front bar anyway and I could easily lose an hour perusing them.
We were invited to play on the Monday acoustic session in the back room (that's where the magic happens), these affairs usually consist of a series of dirgey maudlin singer/songwriters (and a minimal crowd) playing their slow open chords and whining about how expensive self harming has become (or something, I tend to zone out).
The night at the Half Moon however, has some really choice musicians and a back log of 200 or so vying to get their 10 minutes on "that" stage. The crowd are attentive and not in the least bit sparse, coupled with the best sound system I've ever played on this place easily gets and deserves its 5 stars.
Now, on to the needless name dropping, these are some of the people who've played there:
Billy Bragg
Bo Diddly
The Crickets
Dr Hook
Dire Straits
Dr Feelgood
Elvis Costello
Fairport Convention
John Martyn
John Otway
Kate Bush
KD Lang
Leo Sayer
Nick Cave
Peter Frampton
Ralph McTell
Roger Waters
The Rolling Stones (hell yeah!!)
Rayguns Look Real Enough (*cough* who?)
Van Morrison
The Who
yep... been on the same stage as Jagger, don't get that in Hoxton!
Considering how much I love music and the many years I have lived in London, it is surprising it has taken me this long to make my way to the Half Moon! It is as famous as the bands who played here. On this occasion we went to see Nick Harper who is a bit of a regular. The venue is perfect for this type of more intimate gig.
I don't think I would come back just for a drink, even though the choice of drinks is decent and the staff very friendly and efficient. But I'll definitely be looking out for future performances - there's just not enough places like this left in London.
A live music pub with decades of musical history that Young's wanted to urinate all over by turning it into a gastro pub. This would have been a real shame (and not just because gastro pubs in general suck!) and I salute their recent success in motivating their public to help keep them open as they are.
I did like the look of this pub when I visited a few weeks ago and I enjoyed my pint of 'Special', however I expect a pint of 'Bloody Special' when I pay £3.44 for it. Surely when they are charging that much for a pint they can afford to stick a couple of coins in the leccie meter? The pub was only a shade warmer than outside. The fact that all the other customers were wearing their coats reassured me that I wasn't having a funny turn or something.
I have visited this pub on several occasions to see the Strawbs perform. This is a rightly famous live music venue, recently refurbed (or refreshed, really).
It has a dedicated live music area behind closed doors complete with its own bar and stage. This is fortunate, as they do charge for their gigs (for the Strawbs around £12 usually). The room is dark and a tadge stuffy, but fits around 100 people, I'd guess, standing.
The bar is big and serves a selection of real ales, lagers, wines and spirits, and the real ale selection is reasonable. The bar is large, and has three sides of serving area, therefore, so long as they have enough staff on, service is quick.
There is a paved 'garden' / smoking area in the back. The pub boasts wooden floors and enormously high ceilings.
This is a good music venue, though I can't really see myself going out of my way (as I would have to) to visit otherwise.
Only giving 1 star as there is no option to give no stars.
Avoid this place like the plague. It is a horrible, dirty, scummy pub.
The clientele is rough and that's me trying to be nice. All of the chavs from Roehampton tend to crawl up here. Avoid, Avoid,Avoid!!!!!!!!!!
Great pub and well known for the musicians who have played here over the years, the walls are full of photos. We saw a band here last night who are just starting out. There was four bands all up and its so cool that in the future these guys can have their own photos up on the walls next to The Rolling Stones and U2. Apparently everyone who is anyone has played here in the past. Now its the cover bands playing like The Rolling Stoned ( seeing them for the third time) . The staff are friendly, Theres a jukebox which always seems to be out of order. Big beer garden. The band cant be heard if your in the main bar but when you go through to the other side its loud and all happening (music wise). Its not too big either which makes for a good venue. So much goes on here, I recommend looking it up for whats on.
I agree, this place is massively under rated. If you like quality live music in a venue with a chilled out vibe and lots of seating, including squishy sofas, this place is for you. Think the front end of the pub also does regular quiz nights but my general knowledge is pretty rubbish so this doesn't appeal. It's just a bit out of the way for me so I dock a star. If I was a local i would be there all the time.
Great food and great music.
This pub enjoys wide fame, and it's easy to see why. The whole establishment is divided into two sections the bar section and the live music section. The atmosphere in the bar room is humble and wooden it feels like you've stepped into a very large country pub. The live music area, while smaller than typical venues, has an air of intimacy about it. Stadium rock bands would bypass this venue, while local acts flock to play on the same stage bands like The Rolling Stones, Kate Bush and Imogen Heap and have played on.
Really good pub for live music and a humming atmosphere. A tad short on seating but lots of space to stand when it's really busy. Staff are lovely and friendly. Food is also apparently much better since it was done up. The decor was much more old manish when I used to go there, but now it is more young and in tone with it's live music status.
I have only been here once but can't wait to get back it is a funky set up with great music. It is a live music venue and they seem to have created the perfect environment for it. the website is worth a look for checking out future bands halfmoon.co.uk most of them seem to be cover bands but they are great for a dance. There is a back room section and the front bar so you can have a break from the music in the bar area
Anyone who says they prefer they old Half Moon is having a right laugh. It was a Youngs pub that Youngs didnt have a clue what to do with because it had too much character, and wasn't regularly filled with OAPs with leaking piss bags. The new Half Moon is a proper modern pub with some decent beers on tap and the music venue has a new sound system. Big Dave would like to see a proper band like Kasabian down there but thats not going to happen so he'll settle for some decent ale and a gander at some posh Richards instead.
Dont go there for a beer in the bar very rough. You go there for its No1 music venue in the function room at the rear. Decades of musical tradition here with something different on most nights. All previous reviews have said it all
Rock on

Considering they're charged with maintaining an extensive array of equipment across 15 locations, it's a good thing each state-certified member of the SunsUp Tanning Centers team commits to at least 10 hours of update training each week. The constant training prepares the specialists for working with the centers' 10 types of standup and lay-down UV beds as well as with sunless Mystic Tan and VersaSpa booths. In addition to tanning, SunsUp offers the Fit body wrap, an infrared heat therapy designed to detoxify and slim the body. Patrons can adjust the wrap's four independent heat zones in 1-degree increments up to 130 degrees or until their body parts start to whistle.
Esthetician Karlene Wishloff helps her patrons feel even younger with exfoliating facials, gentle microdermabrasions, waxing, and anti-aging light therapy. Rather than using harmful substances such as petroleum products, mineral oils, and well-aged Windex, the seasoned skin expert removes dead skin cells and reduces hyperpigmentation with plant-based products, fruit extracts, and non-invasive applications of concentrated light.
At Divine Wellness, wellness doesn't mean giving up chocolate--instead, it means applying it to your face. During their Chocolate Layered Facial, chocolate-infused products brighten skin, combating signs of aging such as wrinkles and tattoos of rotary telephones. The center's signature facial, meanwhile, deploys products tailored to the client's skin, and the microdermabrasion treatment sloughs away dead skin with sterilized crystals. Massages further relax physiques, in styles ranging from classic Swedish kneads to holsitic reiki massages, which aid the flow of universal life force energy through the body.

Baltimore's 100 best restaurants [Pictures]
Famously conservative, Baltimore's dining scene continues to show signs of a great awakening. There are more, and better, options in style and substance. Our list of 100 best restaurants, in Baltimore and the surrounding counties, reflects the wide spectrum of choices available to diners, from mom and pop storefronts to waterfront extravaganzas. The best restaurants have little in common, other than the proven ability to consistently please their customers. It's been a particularly stellar year for new restaurants. From Hampden and Harbor East, the hits kept coming. The farm-to-table trend dominated, and casual places started getting fancier. A few old favorites had some major changes, too. More so than in other cities, the restaurant community in Baltimore is remarkably cohesive, too, with abundant examples of mentoring and collaboration. That's another hopeful sign of better things to come.

Tim Schafer Moves to Sesame Street
Posted on Wednesday, February 16 @ 03:45:00 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
Wait- what?
That's Tim Schafer on his development house's latest project. Double Fine may have struck out with titles like Psychonauts and Brutal Legend. They may have even found plenty of success in downloadable titles like Costume Quest and Stacking.
Now they're trying to find their way to Sesame Street. Can you tell them how to get there?
For the record: I didn't have to look up any Youtube videos to remember the theme song to Sesame Street. I guess the PBS show with puppets by Jim Henson really did have an impact on children like me.
Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is being developed for the Xbox 360's Kinect motion controller. Players will team up with Elmo and Cookie Monster while they explore the storybook game world.

Down-to-earth new mum shows even Hollywood stars have post-pregnancy side effects
Selma Blair was sporting a soft hat to hide the postpartum hair loss she's been experiencing, since giving birth to her baby son Arthur four months ago.
The Cruel Intentions actress, 39, has been honest about how pregnancy has affected her, and wasn't shy to publicise her hair loss, which is a common experience of new mums.
"This is so not glamorous," Selma explained. "I need to take longer showers so that I can collect the hair that falls out and throw it away so I don't clog the drain. Why do actresses never talk about that?"
Selma's previously explained that she hasn't been rushing to lose her baby weight and looked a little self conscious last time we saw her on the red carpet.
But despite the downsides, the mum-of-one is enjoying her experience. "I'm so in love with him," she said, of baby Arthur. "He makes me happy every day."

Bergdahl Prisoner Swap
As details unfold about Bowe Bergdahl's return from Taliban custody, I'm struck at how this is similar to Benghazi. In the sense that it isn't just a singularly bad event, but a multi-faceted debacle of several interconnected parts, none of which are positive.
Before: Multiple official requests for more security and precautions following security incidents went unheeded to the point of dereliction of duty on the part of those responsible within the State Department.
During: Limited or no substantive action was taken to respond in real time to requests for assistance during the hours long attack. Both this and the previous point resulted in the deaths of four Americans, most notably, an active United States Ambassador.
After: The Obama administration took the politically convenient route of affirmatively asserting that an internet video was to blame.
Before: Personal email and new statements from soldiers within his unit strongly suggest Bergdahl went AWOL from his base.
During: Several soldiers were killed during search and recovery operations and asset reassignment related to his disappearance.
After: The furthest reaching ramification I can think of from this entire event is the terrible precedent of exchanging several captives for a US service member. From now into the future, there can be a plausible expectation that the United States government will negotiate on these types of terms.
Controlling the Image
Interesting video about how the White House has denied access at times to control the image of the President.
This video references some of the images I include on my satirical Tumblr site, HumbleObama.com. It is exclusively dedicated to photos from the official @WhiteHouse and @BarackObama Twitter feeds intended to highlight other things, but just end up as hero shots of Obama.
Chasing the Cause Célèbre
Some stories get a lot of coverage, others don't. The reasons why should give us all pause to consider how we understand the world and how we react to things in it.
There have been stories about Boko Haram killing hundreds in Nigeria for months now. However, I don't recall them being front page news like the current stories about the abduction of large numbers of girls. The gender specific nature of the victims seems to have elevated the evil of Boko Haram to new levels, even attracting the attention of US Senators and prompting a letter signed by all 20 female United States Senators.
Senator Susan Collins of Maine is even calling for US Special Forces to be used to help recover the girls.
The debate of using US troops aside, it is striking how hundreds of people being massacred, and students being mercilessly killed doesn't elicit a great deal of attention until something more emotionally tangible happens that aligns well with more contemporary themes.
I'm wondering why these 20 senators did not sign a letter when 29 students were killed by the same group as mentioned in one of the articles linked above.
Suspected Islamic militants killed 29 students in a pre-dawn attack Tuesday on a northeast Nigerian school, survivors said, setting ablaze a locked dormitory and shooting and slitting the throats of those who escaped through windows. Some were burned alive.
Boko Haram is bad, and we should react uniformly to its actions, just as we should react uniformly to any perpetration of evil, bigotry or violence. Leaders, journalists and concerned citizens need to stop chasing the day's cause célèbre and actually be informed to react in a principled manner to events in our world.
The Lying Left
The last couple of months, I've given this some thought as I've distilled some recent observations into a straightforward conclusion. I suppose I've always known this, but it is worth stating succinctly.
The left lies.
They lie about many things to achieve various policy objectives and to sway public opinion. The right however is much less inclined to fabricate, deceive and lie. This puts the right in the difficult position of having to laboriously explain and clarify to mitigate untruths.
Exhibit A: Women make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes
This is a great emotional rallying cry for many to latch onto as proof of gender inequality and create a partisan wedge. To engage on the point, the right has to expend a mountain of words to explain that the methodology and logic to arrive at this figure is flawed.
Exhibit B: 8 million people signed up for Obamacare
President Obama recently declared victory with with the Affordable Care Act and declared it a success with no need for further debate. To dispute this simple claim takes a paragraph to explain all the missing data and demographic information that would actually validate or invalidate this claim as successful.
Disputing these assertions of 77 cents or 8 million don't just take more time to explain, but the energy required to combat and overcome an "original" premise that is so widely asserted takes much more effort than simply making the original assertion. In fact, without the media's help, I'm not sure how it can be done. Were the right to lie as regularly, the media would dissemble the lies quickly and question those disseminating them. When the left does it, they rarely question them but instead often just parrot the lies without any investigative inquiry or curiosity about their origins in fact.
I've been musing about the inherent disadvantage the right is under because of how it has more loyalty to truth than the left does. The left misrepresents facts to achieve political goodwill for their policies, and because there is often some grain of truth inside of the larger mistruth, they take advantage of human emotion and they're able to maintain their original assertion for much longer than they should. Sometimes indefinitely.
The right needs to find ways to counter this tactic of the left with honest but effective slogans, statements or assertions that are just as potent and emotionally attractive. Truth will always, eventually, overcome fiction.
Sebelius Surprised to See Something Missing
No doubt her staff assured her everything was in order.
Strike That, Reverse It
A woman hurled a shoe at Hillary Clinton on Thursday during a speech in Las Vegas, according to the Secret Service.
She ducked and it missed her, joking afterward about the incident that occurred during an appearance before a recycling trade group.
The shoe missed her, and then she ducked. After the fact. Too late to matter.
George W. Bush had a shoe thrown at him. He actually ducked, and it missed him.
Not sure if it is one of those little mix ups where CNN's Political Unit is simply lazy and doesn't care to be exact, or if they're trying to massage something out of nothing. That Hillary is somehow agile and deft when she is not.
Zakaria and the Bliss of Ignorance?
Zakaria's thought lapses strike again.
That is what is at stake in Washington this week. The debate going on there is not trivial, not transitory – and not about Obamacare. Whatever you think about the Affordable Care Act, it is a law that was passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate, then signed by the president, and then validated by the Supreme Court as constitutional. This does not mean it cannot be repealed. Of course it can be repealed, as can most laws. But to do so, it would need another piece of legislation – one that says quite simply "The Affordable Care Act is hereby repealed in its entirely" – that passes the House and Senate and is then signed into law by the president.
He either dishonestly or ignorantly fails to acknowledge the alterations President Obama undertook to delay various portions of the law, circumventing the legislative process. No mention. And yet, when a legislative action is used to somewhat more constitutionally adjust the law, it is extortion and democracy itself weeps.
Islamic Terror
I've been struck the past couple of days just how many large scale events have recently taken place around the world involving Muslim extremists. Particularly noteworthy has been the underwhelming reporting. Were these Christian extremists or some other "unsavory variety" of terror to a progressive mindset, I think the media would be fixated on the wave of violence sweeping the world. I suppose this is the new normal, to either shrug off murder from extreme Islamic adherents as a regularity to be tolerated, or to treat it as non-representative of the whole of Islam and bury the headlines down the page. I wonder if the mall in Kenya got a lot of attention because it most closely resembles a western venue?
Mass murder in a mall in Kenya.
Hostages in gun battles in the Phillipines.
Villagers massacred in Nigeria.
Scores killed in a church bombing in Pakistan.
It is sad these things are happening and I hope apologists for Islam more conspicuously recognize the cancer of extremism from within.
Tra La La La La
I was watching part of the closing argument by the prosecution in the George Zimmerman trial and I was struck by how weak the case seemed to be that the prosecutor was making. It seemed to revolve predominantly around the emotional facts of Martin's age, the snacks he had and his hoodie.
Unfortunately this case has become a racial rallying cry for many due to an overemphasis on incidental, yet legally irrelevant details. Stuff like Martin having just bought skittles. Or, as Al Sharpton called them, skillets.
In a way, Sharpton was symbolically representing for us all the level of competence and objectivity he and many others would bring to the discussion.

Ignoring done correctly is very effective. I started the following after encountering an an anti-Semitic tool in a Gnomer PUG:
Step 1 - Put player on "Ignore"
Step 2 - Ask in party chat for the other players to relay any important or relevant information the ignored player might have, making sure to reference that you are now ignoring that player
Step 3 - Run remainder of dungeon
Message delivered without feeding the troll; this has worked for me on multiple lowbie dungeon runs, and I've only ever had one ignored DPS drop as a result.
Bonus: You will not be grouped with that player again in the future.
Happy Gaming.

It's funniest when the rude player is a DPS and you're a healer... their life is in your hands. I was in a FoS run yesterday and we were on the last boss. He did that move where he links with a player and reflects their damage back. The healer (and a guildy of mine) told the mage to stop dpsing the boss to which the mage replied "shut the fuck up"; he promptly blew himself up from his own damage and sat there dead for the rest of the fight. We left the dungeon, ignoring his cries for "REZ PLS", maybe on his solitary corpserun he'll reflect on how he acted :P
That's exactly the advice I give guild members when this happens. "Put them on ignore and continue on or drop the group if you can't go on."
I just don't understand the 'holier than thou' attitude. People forget they were once the new kid on the block, learning the ropes of an instance.
What Kemikal says.
I actually kind of enjoy it when my healer gets grouped with arrogant a**holes that think it's ok to mercilessly flame other people for stupid reasons. They will stop getting heals, they will get no ress, they will get ansewered only in sarcasm filled with sweet little smileys and they will get set right and ridiculed when thew spew some crap about other classes they clearly have no clue about. And when they are the 'noobs I am only here for frost ffs!!1! Gogogogog! @#$%*#!' type, they will get a nice kick right before last boss.
Shadowwind said...
Unfortunately, that doesn't always work. Sometimes it is someone ELSE who is being ripped in to. Are you just going to place them on ignore and leave their victim to be bullied?
Yesterday, for example, I got a healer and 2 dps who turned out to be from the same server along with a warrior dps who while he wasn't pulling 9k, was at least pulling 1500. Needless to say, the harpies spotted Recount within a couple of pulls and immediately started tearing into him. This is H HoL and we're clearing the trash right after the first boss when I notice that the healer hasn't topped off the warrior after the last pull. Hmm. Well, he might be conserving mana or something, so I shift out of bear and toss a Regrowth onto the warrior. THEN we get to the Slag room and sure enough, the warrior and one of the other dps die on that pull. The healer does one rez. Guess who it's NOT to. I call the healer on it and get back, "I don't rez noobs." Thank the Earth Mother I'm a druid. Drop out of bear AGAIN, rez the warrior, buff him, and whisper him to stay close and I'll watch after him as best as possible.
The VERY loud argument that stretched over the next two bosses and assorted trash would probably have been funnier had it not been on tv and not in rl, with 3 people who absolutely DID mean the crap they were throwing out. Anyway, long story short, they finally back down and we finish the instance, but it was not a pleasant experience.
(That said, there was a shining moment in that pug. The hunter dps decides that I should be pulling instead of stopping to rez/heal the warrior, SO...she MD the next pack onto me. Standard procedure...except that she's the type who can't stand to not be on the top of the meters. So she dps's enough to MD them onto me and then doesn't stop to make sure the tank actually IS bothering to pick them up. /evil grin. I'll give her this, she somehow managed to kill them before they could kill her. But it was definitely a fun stressbreaker after the 'fun' of the last several pulls.)
@ kittens
exatly what my healer and (tank) do. We have leveled up exclusively through the LFG and spent 30 days at lvl 70 working on all content in BC.
Everytime we group with a gogogo or a mouthy Elite's BoA wearing ALT we warn him to behave, or we will not let him get heals or Rez. Personally, I find four manning more challenging and have had to do that in BC herorics on more than half of our runs, due to someone that thought we " need" 3 DPS. Guess what, as overgeared as we are, it's more fun with four.
My healer and I like noobs because we like to show people the ropes. We like to chat in our runs and we aren't here for two emblems of frost, we are here to play a dungeon for the fun of it. Not because we need gear.
We have found in BC herorics we have been grouped with the same people a lot because we run late and only que for herorics. When we come across the same bad players again, they have a different mindset or they immediately drop group.
That's the advantage to having a healer tank team as you level. Our secret is, we have always turned off XP every couple of levels so we stay in the same content for ransoms.
After only a week or two of play your child is being bullied by their Coach in front of the rest of the team, and now your kid's teammates are picking on him or her. Do you speak with the Coach about the behavior? Do you talk with the other parents?
You could step in and confront the bullies - and it might even limit or eliminate the bullying - but you might be doing more harm than good. Bullying is something that needs to be addressed, but it is ultimately up to the victim to learn how to cope with the it, because bullying is something that everyone has to deal with throughout their lives. Sometimes we forget how humiliating it is to have someone step in for us; it makes the victim appear weaker. Think back to grade school and remember who got it worse: The bully or the tattler?
Coping means helping the victim stand up for themselves, to confront the bullies themselves, to defuse the situation using humor or logic, to ignore the bullying (if that tactic works), or to fight back if necessary. The tough part is knowing when you should step in and when to let them get a bloody nose.
Being a parent is very, very hard like that.
As we're reminded *constantly* by the social players, WoW is an MMO and if you're a lone wolf, GTFO. People who make snide comments and trash talk during a PUG - in my experience - are bored socials.
Being social, they really want to communicate and engage with other people. Being bored, they use insults and other behavior that typically ensures other people in the group will pay attention to them. (Negative attention is still attention.) In a sense, they're looking for verbal PvP.
Off-topic: I suspect that for many people, the allure of PvP is purely social... the need to engage in activity with other people. Why else would world PvP be "exciting" and world PvE be "boring"? Have to think about this some more...
Anyway, for quick reference, here's Hob's Three Rules of Dealing with PUGs:
1. Don't feed the social. Don't reply to a rude comment, EVER.
2. If you're making progress in the instance, stay.
3. If you're stalled because the group is bickering instead of doing the run, sit down with your back to the group and wait for 2 minutes. If they're still arguing after 2 minutes, leave without comment.
It will make your life so much easier.
@ Everyone saying to leave:
The problem with this is Blizz is tracking how many times you personally abandon a RDF PUG. People who tend to leave groups or kick members will find they still have to wait the fifteen-minute grace period when others can boot jerks instantly.
In other words... it's in your best interest to stick it out. Put the trash-mouths on /ignore, tell the group you're doing so (or better yet, whisper one of the goupmates who is acting the most maturely instead, so as not to let the abusers see you're doing it, as they are after all looking for attention). Then just run as normal. If the group is paused because of the arguing, go make a sandwich or something. If you're in a hurry, say something about it. Don't be That Guy who initiates pulls when the tank isn't ready though.... even if the tank is the one who initiated the verbal PvP (love that phrase!)
A few nights ago I did a dungeon with a bickery hunter, who kept making snide comments about how crappy I was as a healer since his pet kept dying, how terrible others' dps was, etc etc. Constant bile spewing from his general area. When I snapped and told him his pet was his responsibility, the tank whispered me and told me to ignore him because he's always like that in groups... turns out the tank was his wife... I felt so bad for her :(
No it isn't in our best interests to stay, Snuzzle. Because first, Blizz isn't paying us enough to be there to put up with that. And second, since this is usually a very rare occurrence, it is unlikely that any tracking mechanic will be held against you if you leave. I have only left twice on two different characters running PuG's since DF was released. So unless you're the one looking for trouble, this should not be an issue.

Impossible Goals are Possible with Bible Study
- Thursday, November 15, 2012
Because of his childhood memorization of Scripture and extensive theological education, Chaplain Black says he can "pretty much put together a Bible study series without opening the Bible." In the Navy, he would plan out special series to meet specific needs he knew about from his pastoral interactions. "If someone had a problem with their superiors, I would do a Bible study series on successful interpersonal relationships."
"If deployed sailors and marines were dealing with loneliness, I might think of David, who was a fugitive for 20 years because he had to run from Saul. He often described his loneliness and depression." To put together a Bible series on loneliness, he would begin with a list of questions: Why are we sometimes lonely? What decisions should we not make while lonely? What should we do when God seems far away even though we are crying out to Him? He would then add the appropriate Scripture verse as a response to each. "I would read the question and one of the sailors or marines would read the verse. I used a blend of induction and deduction, but I wanted to draw them out to talk about it (and think about it) before I made my comments."
As to his success in helping sailors and marines in his care, he is proud that 90% of those who regularly attended his Bible studies were eventually baptized. "These are pretty young folks away from home for the first time and haven't made a former commitment to Jesus. In fact many joined the military as a way of running away from accountability or the strictures of religion. So they discover what sin offers is at best seasonal, and instead become interested in faith."
Impossible Goals Accomplished with a Barely Legible Bible
When asked about his personal daily Bible study habits, Chaplain Black says he takes advantage of his commute by car to Capitol Hill. He has just finished listening to the entire Bible on CD. "This gives me an airplane view of Scripture." To this overview, he then combines personal Bible study with personal prayer. "I pray the Scriptures. I will read through the Bible in a different translation each year. I read until something stops me, which doesn't take very long, and then I will talk to God about it. I am using Bible study as a time of communion, reflection and interaction with God. I call that 'Giving Him the courtesy of starting the conversation'—and it basically reenergizes my prayer life. I don't have to go with my little list of things. I open the Bible and wait in His presence. And it doesn't take long before He speaks; and then we talk about it. I move on and He speaks again. It is a wonderful way to get through Scripture."
Chaplain Black laughs when asked if he scribbles notes in the margins of his Bible, admitting that his bibles are "barely legible." He says he also keeps a master list of goals tucked in the back of his Bible. A steadfast believer in James 4:2 "you do not have because you do not ask" (NKJV)—he regularly asks God to help him achieve his goals, many of which have already been met. "One goal was to be an Admiral in the Navy Chaplain Core. The primary motivation was to help very junior enlisted people because there was so much bureaucratic red tape. I wanted to get to the most powerful man in the military unannounced, and I knew I had to be chief of chaplains to do that."
Another goal was to provide pastoral support to the Senate, which was reached in 2003 with his election as its Chaplain. "The focus in my selecting goals was that they were objectives I knew I could not accomplish without supernatural help. There is no way you can control whether you will be an Admiral in the Navy, and there had not been an African-American Chief of Navy Chaplains in over 220 years. You need supernatural help to make that happen. The same is true with Chaplain of the Senate. There are some things you will never receive from God without making the request. I asked for things I thought were impossible and it's been amazing how He has honored His promise."
