Incontinence & Overactive Bladder Health Center
The Truth About Urine
Urine isn't something most people talk about. We barely give it more than a passing glance as it swirls out of sight down the toilet bowl. Yet changes in the urine -- its color, odor, and consistency -- can provide important clues about the status of your body. Your urine can reveal what you've been eating, how much you've been drinking, and what diseases you have.
"Urine and urinalysis have, for hundreds of years, been one of the ways physicians have looked at health," says Tomas Griebling, MD, MPH, vice chair of the urology department at the University of Kansas.

You're toiling on the treadmill, Stairmaster, or recumbent bicycle -- and the accident happens: a little urinary incontinence. Small leaks can occur whether you're a teen or a woman in her 20s and upward. Often incontinence starts after childbirth or as the result of athletic injuries. Some men have incontinence problems after prostate surgery. "Unfortunately, people [with incontinence] stop doing things they enjoy, like high-impact aerobics," says Roger Dmochowski, MD, a urologist and director...

"From a historical view, urinalysis was one of the original windows into what's happening in the body," Griebling says. That's because many of the substances circulating in your body, including bacteria, yeast, excess protein and sugar, eventually make their way into the urine.
Urine is an important part of the body's disposal process. Its job is to remove the extra water and water-soluble wastes the kidneys filter from the blood. "The urine is there primarily to get rid of toxins or things that would otherwise build up in the body that would be bad for the body," says Anthony Smith, MD, professor and chief of urology at the University of New Mexico.
When you notice that your urine has changed color, or there's a strange odor wafting up from the toilet, the cause might be something as harmless as what you had for dinner (which could have included beets or asparagus). It also might be a sign of a more serious condition, such as an infection or cancer.
Before you flush, here are a few urine changes to look out for, and what they might be saying about your health.
Color Changes
Urine gets its yellow color from a pigment called urochrome. That color normally varies from pale yellow to deep amber, depending on the concentration of the urine. Darker urine is usually a sign that you're not drinking enough fluid. "Your body needs a certain amount of fluid to function, so the body will hold on to fluid and the urine will become very strong and concentrated. When that happens, it will turn a darker color," Griebling says.

PHILADELPHIA - Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), one type of "blue baby" syndrome, is a potentially deadly congenital disorder that occurs when pulmonary veins don't connect normally to the left atrium of the heart. This results in poorly oxygenated blood throughout the body, and TAPVC babies are born cyanotic - blue-colored - from lack of oxygen.
TAPVC is usually detected in newborns when babies are blue despite breathing normally. Life-threatening forms of the disorder are rare about 1 in 15,000 live births. A closely related, but milder disorder, partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC), in which only some of the pulmonary veins go awry, is found in as many as 1 in 150 individuals.
Now, researchers have found that a mutation in a key molecule active during embryonic development makes the plumbing between the immature heart and lungs short-circuit, disrupting the delivery of oxygenated blood to the brain and other organs. The mutation ultimately causes blood to flow in circles from the lungs to the heart's right side and back to the lungs.
Senior author Jonathan A. Epstein, MD, chair of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and colleagues from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, describe in Nature Medicine, that a molecule called Semaphorin 3d (Sema3d) guides the development of endothelial cells and is crucial for normal development of pulmonary veins. It is mutations in Sema3d that cause embryonic blood vessels to hook up in the wrong way.
Epstein is also the William Wikoff Smith professor and scientific director of the Penn Cardiovascular Institute. Karl Degenhardt, MD, PhD, assistant professor at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Manvendra K. Singh, PhD, an instructor of Cell and Developmental Biology at Penn; and Haig Aghajanian, a graduate student in Cell and Molecular Biology at Penn are the co-first authors

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) July 11, 2013
In our changing global environment, reports water and dehydration researcher Sharon Kleyne, sunscreen has become indispensable. According to Kleyne, sunscreen is no longer just for the summer beach. Kleyne recommends always applying sunscreen, summer or winter, before venturing outdoors in daytime.
Sharon Kleyne is Founder of Bio-Logic Aqua Research and host of the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water® radio show on Voice American and Apple iTunes.
According to Kleyne, human skin is exposed to a growing list of dehydrating environmental factors. Dehydrated skin has less resistance to the damaging effects of the ultraviolet or "UV" component of solar radiation. At the same time, exposure to UV radiation is increasing worldwide Skin dehydration factors include low humidity – too little water vapor in the air – high air pollution, increasing drought, warmer summers, more sunshine, colder winters, ozone depletion, and indoor conditions such as forced-air heating and cooling and insulated walls and windows.
Based on 30 years of skin, water vapor and dehydration research, Sharon Kleyne offers the following information about sunscreen, sunburn and sun protection:
Sun protection limits the skin's exposure to UV solar radiation that can cause skin cancer. Kleyne recommends a "broad spectrum" sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB. UVA does not cause sunburn but contributes to potentially fatal malignant melanoma. UVB exposure can lead to sunburn and squamous cell carcinoma. SPF or "sun protection factor" should be at least 15.
The best time to apply sunscreen, according to Kleyne, is immediately after bathing. Skin is best able to absorb sun protection chemicals, and is most naturally UV resistant, when moist and fully hydrated. The lotion also helps seal in and retain skin moisture. Kleyne recommends the use of sunscreen cosmetics, especially make

A line card is:
1) A printed brochure that lists the names, descriptions and manufacturers of products sold by a third party, like a distributor, sales representative or value-added reseller (VAR). These 'product line cards' can be used in sales calls or offered for download to be used by potential customers as useful reference for comparison of product specifications and costs.

2) An electronic circuit on a circuit board that interfaces between subscribers to a telecommunications network and the rest of the network. A line card have commonly been used to interface the twisted pair cable of a POTS local loop with the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Line cards used on the PSTN may have many functions, including:
- conversion of voice transmissions from analog to digital or vice versa
- detection of off-the-hook receivers
- other BORSCHT functions, depending on the circuitry on the card
BORSCHT stands for Battery feed, Overvoltage protection, Ringing, Supervision, Codec, Hybrid and Testing.
BORSCHT functions traditionally used in POTS telephony, including signaling, line supervision and telephone terminal operation, are increasingly integrated into a chipset by semiconductor companies. These chipsets allow for low-cost implementation of a standard POTS telephone interface for connecting to non-traditional telephony networks like cable television , fiber optic , VoIP and WiFi.

Global Credit Research - 14 Aug 2015
Approximately $2.2 billion of debt securities downgraded
New York, August 14, 2015 --
Moody's Investors Service, ("Moody's") downgraded Mississippi Power Company's senior unsecured rating to Baa2 from Baa1 and its preferred stock rating to Ba1 from Baa3. The rating outlook is negative. This rating action concludes the review of Mississippi Power's rating initiated on 27 May 2015. Moody's affirmed the ratings of The Southern Company (Southern, Baa1 senior unsecured) with a stable outlook.Ratings Rationale
"The downgrade of Mississippi Power's ratings reflects the lack of permanent cost recovery provisions in place for the Kemper IGCC plant since the Mississippi Supreme Court invalidated the utility's 2013 rate plan earlier this year," said Michael G. Haggarty, Associate Managing Director. "The downgrade also considers the increased concentration risk, financial exposure and liquidity pressure on the utility following the exit of its electric cooperative utility partner from a planned 15% ownership in the Kemper plant," added Haggarty.
AUGUST 15, 2015The Clarion-Ledger invited Ron Aldridge, Mississippi state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, and Louie Miller, state director of the Mississippi chapter of the Sierra Club, to provide their thoughts on this week's Point/Counterpoint question.
Right now, our Public Service Commission is deciding on Mississippi's energy future. If the commission moves forward with its proposed rooftop solar or "net-metering" program, our neighborhoods could power our homes, boost our economy and provide us with energy independence. READ MORE
Mississippi is one of only six states with no net metering policy! Tell the PSC to adopt strong pro-solar policies like net metering. We need to add your voice to the list of public supporters of this crucial step toward a clean energy future for our state. Send in your comment now!
SOUTH MISSISSIPPI (WLOX) - A decision by South Mississippi Electric adds even more financial instability to the cloud hanging over Mississippi Power's Kemper County lignite plant. Board members with South Mississippi Electric's 11 cooperatives no longer have an interest in purchasing a 15 percent stake in the Kemper County facility. Their reason for breaking off those talks had everything to do with money.
"It would have led to higher rates for us," South Mississippi Electric CEO Jim Compton told WLOX News, noting the deal would have cost the 11 cooperatives $620 million. "We determined it wasn't something we could afford in rates."READ MORE

DENVER (AP) -- Carmelo Anthony scored 26 points and Nene had 25
to help the Denver Nuggets hold off the Milwaukee Bucks 118-115 in
an exhibition game on Wednesday night.
Nene scored seven straight points, including a layup off a
backward, no-look pass from Anthony, to give the Nuggets a 109-99
lead with 4 minutes left.
But the Bucks chipped away, pulling within one twice in the
final minute.
Trailing 118-115, T.J. Ford had a good look at a 3-pointer right
before the buzzer. It bounced three times on the rim before
bounding off and the Nuggets improved to 6-1 in this, their
second-to-last preseason game.
Michael Redd led the Bucks with 25 points. Ford had 22 points
and 10 assists. Andrew Bogut, the first pick in this year's draft,
had his best presesaon game, with 17 points, seven rebounds and
three assists.
The Bucks played a few hours after they traded Desmond Mason and
next year's first-round pick for 2004 All-Star Jamaal Magloire.
Magloire, however, was not in Denver for the game.
The Nuggets were without Kenyon Martin, who sat out with
soreness in the left knee he had surgically repaired in the

Belkin Announces The Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit
A home's standard WiFi network is usually sufficient, that is assuming you live in a house with limited square footage, walls and floors. But what is one to do if you live in a mansion with 1000s of square footage? You could prewire your home with Cat5 cable, that is assuming you have the foresight and don't purchase a historic or already completed house.
Introduced today, the Belkin Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit provides up to 1000Mbps data speeds throughout your home by utilizing the existing electrical wiring to form a network. Just plug in the sender adapter into your router and the receive adapater into the wall, run an Ethernet cord to the appropriate device and you'll be in business. Unfortuanately, I've heard that these types of systems tend to be senstive to interference, old wiring and provide spotty connections over long distances. It's available now and start at $149.99.

- urinary retinol-binding protein;
- radionuclide imaging
- To evaluate whether remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) reduces renal injury in patients undergoing laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN).
Patients and methods
- In all, 82 patients undergoing LPN were randomly assigned to either the RIPC or control group, with 40 and 38 patients, respectively completing 6-months follow-up.
- RIPC was conducted after induction of anaesthesia, which consisted of three 5-min cycles of right lower limb ischaemia and 5 min of reperfusion during each cycle.
- The primary outcome was the absolute change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the affected kidney by renal scintigraphy from baseline to 6 months.
- The secondary outcomes included urinary retinol-binding protein (RBP) levels measured at 24 and 48 h, serum creatinine, and estimated GFR (eGFR) at 1 and 6 months, and changes in GFR by renal scintigraphy.
- There were no differences in the change of GFR of the affected kidney at 6 months, while it was significantly decreased by 15.0% in the control group vs 8.8% in the RIPC group at 1 month (P = 0.034).
- The urinary RBP levels increased 8.4-fold at 24 h in the control group compared with a lower increase of 3.9-fold in the RIPC group (P < 0.001).
- There were no differences in the serum creatinine level or eGFR at 1 and 6 months between the two groups.
- In patients undergoing LPN, RIPC using transient lower limb ischaemia may reduce renal impairment in the short term, but failed in the longer term despite a non-significant trend in favour of RIPC.
- These novel data support the need for a larger study of RIPC during LPN surgery.

President Barack Obama gave Senate Democrats a "pep talk" on healthcare
Sunday, telling them they stood to make history if they passed a bill
expanding healthcare coverage to millions of Americans.
Obama, during a rare Sunday Democratic caucus in the Senate, said that the healthcare reform bill, which seeks to provide coverage to more than 30 million uninsured Americans, is "the most important social legislation since Social Security," according to Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.).
Obama didn't take questions from the senators or mention the two issues now dividing Senate Democrats and preventing passage of the bill: a government-run insurance plan and restrictions on federal funds for abortion. But Democrats said that Obama's remarks gave them a boost as they try to strike compromises to get the 60 votes needed to pass the bill.
"He reminded us why we're here, he reminded us why we run for office and he reminded us how many people are counting on us to come through," said Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.).
Senate Democrats leaving the meeting expressed confidence that they would eventually pass a bill that would help Americans and would help Democrats politically as they enter into a crucial mid-term election year.
If they passed the bill, Democrats would be "rewarded in '10, and in 10 years, in 20 years, in 30 and 40," Baucus said. "Nothing's more important."
Obama noted the progress they had made together on healthcare reform, his top legislative priority for most of his 11-month presidency, and on the economy, now growing after a two-year recession and gaining nearly as many jobs as it's losing, senators said after the meeting.
Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) said that Obama's message was most effective when he was "putting into context how important [the healthcare bill] was to the economy and what this means in terms of how people judge this Congress and what happens to us."
Obama said that despite their progress, Democrats should pass healthcare to show Americans that they can tackle big problems, Casey said.
"We tend to forget we've been about as productive a Congress as there's been in a long time, but we've got to get this done to demonstrate that we can get something this substantial done," Casey said.
Baucus said that Democrats would be able to get the 60 votes to invoke cloture on the bill to end debate and eventually pass it. He predicted that would happen within a week or two.
Senate Democratic leaders along with a core group of five centrist and five liberal Democrats have been locked in negotiations over the public option since Friday. Democrats said they're considering a number of compromises on the public option, including one that would put the independent Office of Personnel Management in charge of the new insurance plan instead of the Health and Human Services Department.
Negotiations lasted until 7:30 p.m. Sunday, with senators at one point dining on takeout Chinese food.
"We have had a really intense three hours of discussion and we are not there yet by any stretch of the imagination, but we're finding a good deal of give and take that leads to common ground," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said.
Schumer and the members of the group didn't give any specifics about their talks. But Schumer said that the group found "a good deal of common ground" and that staffers would be working hard over the next few days on the proposals.
Schumer sought to portray a united Democratic front with talks expected to continue Monday. As he spoke to reporters, he was flanked by Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), one of the biggest proponents of a strong public option, and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), a public option skeptic.
But Landrieu and other centrist senators appeared less optimistic than Schumer.
Landrieu said that the group wasn't close to a deal but that she hoped for an agreement in "another a day or two."
"My good friend Sen. Schumer is always optimistic," said Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), another public option opponent. "Probably there is some common ground, and there's certainly some interest in finding significant common ground. It's a tall challenge to try to reach that."
Other senators spotted going in and out of the room were Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Tom Carper (Del.), Mark Pryor (Ark.) and Blanche Lincoln (Ark.).
Key centrist senators not involved in the talks dismissed suggestions that the Senate healthcare debate would end soon.
Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) told The Hill that it's not realistic to expect the bill to be finished in a week.
"This bill has so much good in it, it does so much good," Lieberman said. "Why are you insisting on getting a foot in the door on single payer?"
The Senate will likely move sooner on divisive abortion language in the bill.
Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) said that his amendment restricting new federal healthcare funds for abortion is likely to get a vote Tuesday. Nelson said he can't vote for the bill unless it includes that restriction, which was included in the already-passed House bill by centrist Democrats over the objections of most of the House Democratic Caucus.
While Republicans are expected to back Nelson's amendment, most Democrats are expected to oppose it. Nelson told The Hill that he wasn't sure that he would offer an alternative amendment if his initial effort doesn't get the necessary 60 votes for passage.
In the caucus meeting with the president were Vice President Joe Biden, senior White House adviser David Axelrod, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, White House Office of Health Reform Director Nancy-Ann DeParle and Phil Schiliro, the assistant to the president for legislative affairs. Obama was the only person to speak, but Biden talked one-on-one with several Democrats, Casey said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) criticized the president for meeting only with Democrats and he said that their healthcare effort was now "completely partisan."
"Democrats are trying to squeeze every single one of their members to swallow a pretty bitter pill for the American people," said McConnell, who repeated GOP suggestions that the bill will lead to higher taxes, higher insurance premiums and weaker Medicare programs.

Couples seek ruling in Arizona same-sex marriage lawsuit
PHOENIX — Gay and lesbian couples challenging Arizona's ban on same-sex
marriage are asking a federal court for a pretrial ruling in their favor.
The motion asked for summary judgment declaring that the ban violates
constitutional protections for due process of law and equal protection under the
The lawsuit was filed in Phoenix in January on behalf of seven couples.
The case is one of two Arizona same-sex marriage ban challenges filed this year
and pending in federal court in Phoenix.
Lawyers for the state denied that Arizona's ban violates constitutional rights.
Arizona lawmakers approved a state law barring same-sex marriages in 1996, and
voters in 2008 amended the Arizona Constitution to include a ban.

The railway line from Sir Lowry's Pass to Caledon, passing by the Elgin Station, was opened in 1902. This line connected Cape Town with the rich farming area of the Overberg. At 51 miles from Elgin to Cape Town, the rail journey now took mere hours compared to the days required to do the trip by ox wagon. This facilitated the growth of the fruit industry in the early days of the 20th century and made for a spectacular train ride for the passengers of that era.

So I was just in my kitchen getting a little snack and a freaking mouse ran from behind my garbage to underneath of my sink! I almost threw up all over the floor! This is our first spring in the house we are renting and I was so not prepared to see that!! Looks like I will be stocking up on some mouse traps and rat poison for the basement tomorrow! Anyone have any good ideas on how to get them to stay away? I havent had a mouse problem ever before!
We got a cat lol. If you have any friends with cats, ask them to spread their used kitty litter around the foundation (on the outside) of your house... the smell of cat seems to keep them away. Other than that... dont live in the country lol
ps. We live in the boonies... so, I get what your saying. When we first moved in we had an awsome mouser of a cat... she was in door/outdoor... though in the winter she had an issue with being just in the house... she went to live on a farm. Then, when we didn have a cat, we had the same thing happen that you just did. Now, we have a new kitten (about 4 months old now) and, not a mouse in sight
A year ago we had a mouse problem. Ended up catching 18! We used poison (in blocks) and glue traps and made sure there was no food they could get too. My husband had the job of checking the traps twice a day, eww!
Well the landlord came over today and set some traps and put some poison outside! Get this.... I found a whole colony of mice outside in a stump in the yard!!! So not pleased!! The landlord knows how I feel about it and is going to bring over some of the things you plug in the walls to repel mice as well. We dont really live in the boonies at all so I am not pleased that we have to deal with this! I saw one of the mice eating the poison already, so I am hoping that they all die!!

The Obama administration wants to revise several acquisition rules dealing with small-business size protests in an effort to standardize rules. The proposal to update the Federal Acquisition Regulation was detailed in a Federal Register notice published March 7.
Among other measures, the proposal would:
At SBA, the rule change would give OHA discretion to accept an appeal or reopen a formal case to correct an error, if it is within the appeal period and no appeal was filed with the office.
More broadly, the proposal would emphasize to contracting officers that they must update the Federal Procurement Data System to reflect the final size determination.
The proposed amendments match SBA's rules that clarify the initial and appeal eligibility decisions across the small business programs, including the new Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program.
SBA processes almost 500 size protests each fiscal year. Most protests fail because officials determine the target of the protest to be properly designated as a small business (41 percent) or because the protest is dismissed on procedural grounds (33 percent). Officials determine the protested company to not actually merit the designation in 26 percent of the protests.

But let me backtrack. When I realized I there was no money to be made in blogging (a fact I realized after only seven years of blogging), I quit that shit to focus on the writing I care about: the novel I've been writing since forever (now on the fifth draft), and the screenplays I've been working on with Roger. It wasn't long, however, before I got that itch to whore myself online again; I wanted to prove to myself that I could be a success at this. I brainstormed easy writing options, quick stuff that wouldn't interfere with my long-term writing projects. Wasn't long before I realized, hey that shitty Fifty Shades of Grey shit made fuck-tons of cash; I want cash; smut is the rigoddamndiculously easiest thing to write and wouldn't take time away from my real writing; I'm gonna write smut.
Turns out, as quick and easy as it is to write smut, it's hard as hell to sell, or maybe I just suck at selling it, or maybe the market's glutted with smut, or maybe the smut I write isn't the kind that sells (BDSM creeps me out, so I write chaste love story shit with some sex sprinkled throughout). Point is, to date I've made five dollars. My revenue might pick up eventually, but I'm not keeping my fingers crossed. Even after exploding my fake persona's online presence, I haven't been able to budge my sales numbers in the slightest. During the few months of her existence, fake me has managed to garner thousands more online friends than real me will ever now, and yet she is just as poor as real me.
As to why I decided to use a female pseudonym, a few reasons: one, I wanted it to be less likely anyone would link fake me to real me; two, I've never fully identified as male, so writing as female seemed logical; and, three, I thought I could make more money writing smut as a woman. The last reason was cynical, I know, and as it turns out, wrong. Still, I'm glad I decided to write as a woman because it's opened my eyes to an entire online world I had no idea existed. In creating a female persona (granted, one with a particularly large online presence—seriously, I can't stress enough how much more popular fake me is than real me), I feel like I've taken whichever one of those Matrix pills lets you see…uh, the Matrix or something. Ok, I haven't seen the Matrix in fucking years and can't remember the references and shit. Point is, the internet is different when you're a woman.
I've seen a lot of dicks is what I'm saying. How many dicks? All the dicks. Picture yourself in that boat that gets hijacked by child Jason at the end of the first Friday the 13th, but in this scenario you've managed to kick that kid to death and you started swimming back to shore, but uh oh you can't swim, but don't worry the lake is filled with life-preservers, except instead of life-preservers, they're dicks, and you're not in a lake but a Chuck E Cheese ball pit and all the balls are dicks—also, testicles.
It's hard to overstate how weird, unexpected, and just plain fucking creepy the anonymous unsolicited dick pic is unless you've received your first in your mid-thirties. Someone I don't know just sent me a private message? Ooh, human contact. Yay!!!! I'm a depressive-as-fuck person so when a stranger reaches out to me, it makes me feel special, interesting, like I'm fucking worth getting to know (even if it's the fake me this stranger wants to know). I can't wait to see what this person has to say.
It's a picture of an erect penis.
No context? No hello? No what are you into? Just: 8====) (except instead of a symbol penis, a real penis; and you don't want to see it.) After getting over the creepy presumptuousness that this stranger would think it would make my day to see his erect piss hose, I giggled at just how bizarre it was (an unsolicited dick pic is about as random and welcome as an unsolicited Richard Speck pic). But after the first dick pic, when the floodgates burst and I was inundated with dick pics, when I saw so many random dicks that the flesh tubes lost all context, becoming abstract formations of pixels on my screen, another thought overwhelmed me: dicks are fucking boring. Like super boring. Like why would anyone who doesn't have a penis care about this shit boring.
Like, I get it, dudes, your penises gives you pleasure; when you're feeling pleasure you want to share that pleasure. But guess what? The image of your dick in its pleasured state doesn't give pleasure. And another guess what, all dicks look the fucking same. There are only two varieties: hooded and non-hooded. Unless you've got enough extra testicles that your scrotum looks like a sack of oranges, and enough extra shafts that you can stage at least one Mexican stand-off with your cock, your dick looks no different than 99% of dicks in existence. I can't overstate how boring your dick is. It could be that I've never felt completely male, but I've never looked at my crotch and thought, "I'm really proud of my penis today. You know who should see this? Other people. Where's my phone?"
To be clear, I don't want to imply there's anything wrong with being aroused by dick pics; I just find dicks boring. My complaint is about people sending unsolicited dick pics. Incidentally, dudes, here's a good rule for when it's appropriate for to send a girl a picture of your dick: right after she sends you the message "please send me a picture of your dick." And what, I know you're asking now, if she doesn't send you that message? You don't send her a picture of your dick. I know, it's a complicated rule to remember, but I'm sure with enough study, you can figure it out.
What's been even more discouraging than the anonymous dick pics are the dick pics I've received from online people I thought were my online friends. Granted, this scenario hasn't arisen as often, but it bothers me even more. It makes me feel as if I've been tricked. Some stranger messages me, mentions how much he likes something I've posted. I get giddy with the confirmation that something I've done matters. I respond with a thank you. Meantime I go to his page and compliment him on something he's posted. You know, just a general back-and-forth mutual respect exchange. Then, like four messages in, in response to my opinion on his opinion on the feud between Tay Tay and Nicki (me taking Nicki's side, natch, 'cause fuck that untalented Tay Tay) he responds with a wordless dick pic.
What a fucking bummer it is to find a rapport with someone you think respects you on an intellectual level, only to find out he's been interacting you with this entire time because he thinks he can get you wet (or scared—most of these douchebags just want to make you uncomfortable). I thought he cared about my opinion on this matter, but no, he cared that someone with a female name interacted with him. Clearly his brain circuits fried, sending the message OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD GIRL TALKING TO YOU SHE WANTS YOUR PENIS WHY AREN'T YOU SHOWING HER YOUR PENIS IF YOU DON'T SHOW HER YOUR PENIS NOW SHE'LL DISAPPEAR BEFORE YOU CAN PUT YOUR PENIS INSIDE HER SHOW HER YOUR PENIS YOU PUSSY.
Even more upsetting is the porn images and gifs I've been getting. It's a sign that you've been in this shit too long that you see as a positive sign a private message gif of a 2m/1f threesome in which, after getting fucked doggystyle, the woman squeezes out the first dude's semen into the open mouth of the second dude waiting below her. I mean, at least the second dude in this gif is the sub. It's a step up from the violent and rapey porn shit anonymous fucks have been sending. And then there's the miscellaneous weird shit, like the dude whose avatar was an erect penis asking me for my address (I'm a naturally paranoid person, so I turned off my computer after receiving that message, worried the potential rapist could track me down). And then there was the unsolicited dick pic I received from a dude whose avatar was a close-up pic of a penis inside a vagina (the unspoken message there being, "Play your cards right and you could be the lucky lady whose genitals are hugging mine in my profile pic.")
I realize as I write this that I probably come across as one of those naïve privileged straight-white-male douche-bags who discovers some fucked-up thing that has existed since forever and Columbuses his ass all over the issue, acting like he's the first person to discover this shit. That's not what this post is about. Plenty of great female writers have already discussed the issue of online harassment; and you should read their posts instead of mine. That's not the reason I wrote this. Why did I write it? I don't know. I guess it falls into the category of "shit that's been going in my life." Maybe I also wanted to send a public service message to creepy dudes everywhere: The next time you send a pic of your penis to some hot woman on the internet, the only person who will see it is a hairy sweaty dude in his boxers. And he thinks your penis sucks.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at AstraZeneca.

I applied online. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (San Antonio, TX) in January 2015.
2 interviews. 1st was a phone interview discussing resume, then a behavioral based test via the Internet, then I was suggested to apply for the position, then my resume went to the hiring manager.

Hiring Managers are usually required to conduct panel interviews with a member of the HR team present. Panel members will usually share a list of questions to ask each candidate. Candidates will be expected to give detailed, different examples for each question, not only demonstrating a time when they have performed a specific task, but also HOW they achieved the outcome they have achieved. For example, "Tell me about a time where you have utilized negotiation skills successfully." They are not only interested in the outcome, but how (soft skills) you achieved the outcome. Most positions are seeking global, diverse experience demonstrating a breadth, as well as a depth of knowledge and insight.
Interview Questions
- Describe your strengths, as well as shortcomings. Tell me about a time when you failed to achieve your goal. Answer Question
Salary ranges are broad, so ask for the salary you desire. Vacation and flexible work arrangements are also negotiable.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at AstraZeneca (Cincinnati, OH) in December 2014.
I worked through a recruiter for everything from resume screening, interview tips, job application and selection, the negotiation process and the onboarding hand-off. This experience was great. There were at least 10 interviews held by that agency for the same position that day. I was notified immediately about the company's interests and extended an invitation to persue the next step in the process the following day. I think quick responses and face to face contact was a great way to learn and get a feel for the company.
Interview Questions
- How do you like and handle changes? 1 Answer
Be preparred and educated about the role and industry comparables for job requirements, education requirements, benefits offered and competitive salaries. Recruiters are good to work with, but don't always help negotiating salary.

I was initially contacted by a recruiter to do a 20-30 minute phone interview. Then online assessment, which was mostly just personality questions. My first f2f interview was with two DSM. 3-4 situational questions (star format), 10 minute persuasive conversation in any subject you wanted. Great conversation and was a natural setting. Second f2f was with my direct hiring manager and another DSM. It was similar to the first one but I needed new success stories, I prepared a new persuasive conversation and strong close.
