TUSTIN – The Curtain Call Dinner Theater has closed after 30 years hosting performances in Old Town Tustin.
Owners Melissa Cook and Michael Lopez made the announcement on the theater's Facebook page.
"What a great ending to a great theater. Thanks to all of the patrons who have supported us over the many years, and to all of the performers and staff who made it all possible." Cook and Lopez stated on Facebook on Monday. "The final show was amazing, and the night with the alumni exceeded our expectations. Thank you everyone. Please continue to support local theater!"
Fans of the theater have been sharing their memories on the theater's Facebook page.
The last performance was "Oklahoma!" on Nov. 7 on the stage at 690 El Camino Real.
"We want to thank all of you who have supported us this past year and a half," Cook and Lopez stated.
Cook told the OC Register in 2009 that her mother, Sue McSorley, had worked in the box office of Elizabeth Howard's Curtain Call Dinner Theater when Cook was 8 years old. She performed on that stage for 10 years, and bought the place with her boyfriend, Jeff Chamberlain, last year.
Cook and Chamberlain made many changes, including redecorating, painting, and reintroducing alcohol sales to win back the audience during an economic downturn. The previous owner Tustin-based Main Place Christian Fellowship did not sell alcohol.
The website states that the place was "Orange County's longest running dinner theater."

Sneak peak at another project I'm working on to debut at @newyorkcomiccon in a few weeks. I'm using the tambour method to bead a garment inspired by a particular superhero. Tambour embroidery uses a special needle with a hook and everything is done from the wrong side of the fabric (so in this case I could not see the beads I was putting on as this frame was upside down!). Shout out to Mage Wars and Cosmic Encounters for making so many amazing expansions that not only are a blast to play but double as fantastic props for my giant tambour frame 😜.

by HarryetAHA, I knew I won! :) I like that take on the resolution. Seems like I got caught up on "identical" whereas I should have keyed into the earlier language about "have an attack card..."
by homertveFor Wild Deuce to work you need to have an attack card in your hand that is identical to one of the revealed cards. A moprh is not an attack card while it's in your hand. It may become an attack when you play it as your encounter card, but you can't use it as an attack card to activate Wild Deuce.

by a1bertCosmic Encounter is a game of table-talk. The game is about telling how the choices other players make are not wise for them (i.e. for you), which includes suggested deals, as long as it is not disruptive just to make the main players exceed the time limit. This is one of the main ways non-allies can affect the game out of their turn, and very necessary way whenever you have crappy cards and thus have no other recourse to affect the game.

by HarryCanyonI played my first game last night and this might be my new favorite game on steam. It's really insane to be able to play Cosmic with anyone online at any hour of the day. The quality of the pieces are great and the high quality artwork is fantastic.
by dukaneThe only way possible that I can think of (and it's not that good) would be to give everyone two planets so each color would be split between two different players, then when the destiny card comes up blues lets say, roll a die and 1-3 would be one player and 4-6 would be the other player.
by a1bertYou were correct in the reasoning. The interrupt with the extra encounter (where you as defense were allowed to draw a new hand) happened before you needed to check your hand for encounter cards and decide whether to take a second encounter.
by natertotsNear the end of a game I played last night, it became my turn, and I drew an encounter with the Reserve, at a time in which I held 5 cards. I went against a planet with 4 ships. It ended up being attack vs. N, I landed, and he took the 4 cards I had remaining in my hand.

by DAAANYou need the first 3 expansions. They add sufficient pieces to expand it up to 8.
by luiginumber1The base game only comes with 5 sets of player pieces, so you will need expansions for the extra sets of player pieces. You can substitute your own ships/planets/destiny cards, but the big problem is that there aren't enough cards in the cosmic deck to support 8 players. Without the large-group cards from Cosmic Alliance, you only have 88 cards in the deck (72 cards + 16 flares), and with 8 players each getting 8 cards, you'll end up with a deck that's only 24 cards (which may sound like enough, but with 8 players drawing cards all the time it'll be nowhere near enough). It CAN be done, but YMMV.
by colmmccarthyNope. You need expansions to take it to 8.
by maboucheI have 8 players coming for a game group this weekend and would love to play CE with 8 players, but the box says 5 max. But I've seen/heard others running this with 8. Can this be done? Without needing expansions and without spoiling the game? If so, can someone help me with how to do this? It's not just teams is it? Thanks in advance and sorry if this is addressed elsewhere!
by WhittlemedoAs long as the core game is popular, we have all the expansion sets cued up and ready to go. Now that we've smoothed out some of the wrinkles with the first release, the exp. sets should be able to launch even faster!

by toyboy101I thought as much, thanks.
by taylor20kit's just to reinforce the fact that you don't have to play a flare if a situation comes up where it could be used. once you've played it you're saying that you want to use it. Physically putting it on the table is just to prove that you have it
by toyboy101We noticed that the wording on some flare cards say "may" on their ability. Does this mean one can play the flare (show card and put on table) then choose not to use the power for whatever reason? If not then why do they say "may"?

by Relleum34What specifically are cards played during an encounter? Is it just the card the main players hold face down ?...or is it any card by any player played during that particular encounter.
by a1bertAt least one card must change hands or at least one ship must change colonies (getting a new colony) for a successful deal. Reciprocation is achieved in other ways than getting physical returns.

Player A plays a flare against Player B. Player B plays card zap. Player A zaps the zap. Player B moves both zaps to the discard pile, reveals himself to be the Vulch, retrieves the zap played by A from the discard pile, and then attempts to play it on the flare. Argument ensues.
We wound up checking bgg, and finding a couple threads on this exact topic, with arguments on both sides, but no real consensus or conclusions.
Player B tried to argue some mumbo jumbo about stack resolution from MtG. Player A and I argued that the card resolutions (as a whole set) could not be interrupted. My final argument was that the zap card says that it can be used "just as" a player attempts to play a card, and that waiting until the top two cards on the stack to be discarded, enacting your alien power, and then playing the zap on the initial card did not qualify as playing the zap "just as" the flare was played.
It made for a rather sour rest of the game, made worse because there sends to be no consensus from the greater CE community on the matter.
Hello everybody! I have recently received a copy of cosmic encounter after the many praise filled reviews that I have heard. After reading through the rules and making plans to play it on the 16th with a group of friends I have a few questions that I would like to clear up before then. First of all, is it advised to use the flare cards for the first few times playing the game? How abou the tech cards? If so (Or even if not) the rules weren't extremely clear about how you go about using those, if somebody wouldn't mind explaining then it would be greatly appreciated. What are all of these Cosmic Tokens for?! Nothing in the hand book said a single thing about them and yet there are 40 of these small little bits. My last question is about the small spaceship token? I want to say its called the Prometheus but I'm not sure. Is this thing used for a certain alien?
Hello all, I searched around but did not find a definitive answer to my questions about the above alien powers. These refer to their base powers only, not the flares.
Shadow: When playing a game with Shadow I, as offense, drew my own destiny card color. Now the alien sheet whenever a destiny card is drawn but I have the option of passing on a destiny card when my color is drawn. Would the Shadow still get to remove a ship?
Reincarnator: 2 questions here. In a game with fewer then five players does the Reincarnator pull the additional alien flares added that were added to bring the count up to 10, pull a few other random alien sheets or neither option. If Reincarnator runs through all the discarded aliens when losing does he simply run out of powers or begin shuffling again?
Heyo! Which expansion for CE is your guys' favorite? I have yet to purchase one but im hoping to soon. Which expansion introduces the most amount of new powers? Thanks!
I just picked up my first 'new player' expansion, which included a bunch of additional cards for the Cosmic deck. Now, these just look like copies of most of the common cards in the Cosmic deck that would be necessary for playing with a higher number of players.
That said, the rules say I can just throw them into the Cosmic deck for extra randomness. I do enjoy a bit of randomness, if I'm honest. So! That being understood, is it going to mess with the game in some significant way to do this? Won't it badly dilute the flares or some such? Is there some way to mitigate this?
Hi, I want buy this game plus the Cosmic Incursion expansion - but all the online stores in Canada seem to be out of stock. Is there any way to know when there'll be a reprint? Or does anyone know of an online store that still has them?
Simple question, but is the new printing identical (aside, I guess, from the box art) with the 2008 edition?
I'm very clear that when a card zap is used on a wild flare, the flare effect is negated and then the card is discarded. What happens when a card zap is used on a super flare?
I've always played it as the player using the super flare may still use the flare as a wild, then keeps the flare back to the hand at the end of the turn. So the card zap essentially downgrades the super flare to a wild flare for an encounter.
Now I can't find rule this in the official rulebook or online discussions. Have I been playing a house variant all this time? Probably taught by someone a long time ago.
Thanks in advance.
Hello all, I only recently played this game but I really enjoyed it. Lately at our work lunch we have been bored of our current game, poker, and I an wondering if anyone has played this at lunch successfully.
We have an hour lunch so about 40-45 minutes of playtime, usually 4-6 people. Has anyone done a game in that time-frame and has it been fun? Are there any aliens I should leave out or expansions I should get to speed up game-play?
I should mention that 2 of the people are Magic the gathering players and most are rules sticklers so ironing out and understanding the rules should not be a major time sink after the first few games.

I was looking to buy a copy of this game but most places seem to be out of stock or very high prices. Noticed on the Fantasy Flight website it mentioned Q1 2015 reprint. Has anymore information been released about this or still just whats on the site?
Also does anyone know are all the expansions getting a reprint as well?
My friends and I are new to cosmic encounter we have only played it about six times. I know you when the game when you capture your fifth foreign colony. Now if its your turn and you capture your fifth colony do you need to wait until its your turn again to claim victory or is it game over?
Over the last couple of weeks, I was able to get four games of Cosmic played. All with players new to the game.
The first night, a friend came over for a night of gaming and we ended the evening with me teaching my wife and him how to play Cosmic. I decided to include flares, but left out all other variants including the reward deck, techs, and hazards. I gave a general overview of the gameplay, hand picked four green aliens, they read through them, and chose one. I also made a card list available to them, so they had an idea of the distribution of cards.
Game 1: First game was obviously a learning game, but they picked it up fast. Half way through the game, I could tell they both were getting a hang of the different phases and general strategy.
Me: Sorcerer
A: Oracle
R: Zombie
The wife won this game with Oracle and afterward they both laughed at the craziness and mindgames that ensued during encounters, especially when Oracle went up against Sorcerer. They had a blast and wanted a second game.
Game 2: This time, I could tell they both felt pretty comfortable with the game as they both were referencing the card list and keeping a close eye on what had been played and what hadn't yet been played. They played more flares this game then the first game. It was a good indication that they were grasping the phases and timing well. This game, I snuck in a few more green aliens, shuffled, and delt two flares each.
Me: Vacuum
A: Laser
R: Trader
Vacuum and Trader shared a win this game. Usually, I wouldn't go for a shared win in a three player game, but wanted to show how a game could end on a negotiate with multiple winner. Trader especially enjoyed this game probably because he used Zombie the first game and was creating all kinds of chaos with his Trader power. That, and he won.
The next weekend, a couple came over to play board games, and I once again suggested Cosmic as a nightcap. My wife was all for it, hungry to see what other crazy combinations could possibly be in that box. Once again, I included flares and left everything else out.
Game 1: I hand picked four powers and let everyone pick one. Of course my wife picked Oracle again, probably hoping to recapture the luck from her first game.
Me: Laser
A: Oracle
I: Sorcerer
Z: Zombie
An introductory game for two of the players, but with the help of the card list aid and a thorough explanation of the rules, they were able to pick up the game quite quickly. I think Zombie won this game; it's hard to remember when teaching rules and such.
Anyway, I must have done something right because they requested another game. One player had to leave though, so we were down to three players again. For this game, I included nearly every green alien, shuffled, and delt two flares to each player.
Game 2:
Me: Whirligig
A: Glutton
Z: Clone
Glutton kept drawing and drawing and at one point had probably twenty cards in hand. Whirligig made a mess of everything. Clone, well Cloned. We had a hard time getting zaps and ultimately couldn't stop him from claiming victory of the Cosmos.
Everyone once again had a blast and we spent some time after the game, talking about the game. I'd like to think that I was four for four in terms of teaching the game to new players. Everyone says they are looking forward to the next game night and want to focus it around Cosmic. I'm hoping to combine the two groups and get a good five or six player session going. Since everyone caught onto the game so quickly, I would probably introduce more aliens and include the reward deck.
Hope everyone enjoyed the read, until next time fellow Cosmic beings!
Hi there, we had a weird situation in our game last night and googling didn't net any results:
The gree player turned over a red destiny card. Usually this should not be a problem, but the red player had no remaining colonys in his home system. What do we do in that situation?
The destiny explicity says to attack the red player in his home system.
What are the limits of lying during negotiation? For example a player agrees to give his two highest attack cards in exchange for a colony, but then he passes over his two lowest attack cards instead.
It seems like cards and colonies are the only official currency in negotiation, although I've read a previous post on this subreddit that indicates some players make other promises during negotiation as well.
When a player promises something during negotiation, but then gives something different (or entirely fails to deliver on their promise as in promises of future alliances), is that player actually cheating, or is it just part of the game?
So I'm working on a solid wish list for myself and am pondering how to handle my 'missing' expansions for Cosmic.
Right now I have: Dominion, Incursion and Conflict.
I have heard bad things about Alliance and Storm. I am concerned over "watering down" the available powers. Since adding Dominion I find myself getting excited when a player selects one of the new powers. I find myself getting a bit let down when I get shuffled two powers that, while strong, are not as interesting.
I guess what I'm getting at: are these expansions as bad as seems to be popular opinion or are they worth picking up after you get the other three?

Has anyone tried house ruling out the ability for a player who wins their encounter to immediately have another encounter?
Our first play was with 7 people. Only two people got a second turn before the game was over.
Clearly we should play with less players to avoid this particular issue, but giving people a second turn immediately didn't seem to do anything more than give early-turn players an advantage.
Hi there. Last week I got Cosmic Encounter, which I've wanted for quite a while, for my birthday. I'm very keen to play it and could easily get the minimum number of players together for a first game. However - I was wondering, is that a good idea, or would we all have a better experience if we waited a bit longer and played with four or five?
I wouldn't normally ask a question like this, except CE even states on the box that the more players the better.
Tl;dr - is a three player game a good first CE experience?

Me and my friends have been playing Cosmic Encounter weekly and we were wondering what kind of variations other people played with. Sometimes we do dual race or everchanging race but I'm sure there is more out there that I haven't thought of. If you have a fun way to play that's a variation please share.

L.A. man busted for smoking medical pot on Newark-bound flight
Category: News | Posted on Tue, January, 24th 2012 by THCFinder
Trying to Join the mile high club in a whole new way.
A 43-year-old man was arrested for allegedly smoking marijuana in the bathroom of a JetBlue flight from Florida to Newark this morning, officials said.
Adam D. Blumenkraz, who gave authorities a Los Angeles address, was in the bathroom when the flight from Orlando began its approach to Newark Liberty International Airport, said Al Della Fave, a spokesman for Port Authority police. A flight attendant knocked on the bathroom door, and when Blumenkranz emerged, the attendant smelled a strong odor of pot, Della Fave said.
Blumenkranz later told police who met him at the gate in Terminal A that he was permitted to use marijuana for medical reasons, and produced a bag of marijuana and a glass pipe for smoking it, Della Fave said. He was promptly arrested.
"You just can't do that on a commercial airliner," Della Fave said. "You cannot smoke anything, regardless what the issue is."
Blumenkranz was charged with possession of less than 50 grams of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, and then released, Della Fave said.
Blumenkranz could not be reached. The Willshire Boulevard address he gave authorities is an office where a company official said Blumenkranz used to receive his mail but no longer had any connection to the company.
NJ Supreme Court Agrees: MS Patient Needs 5 Years in Prison
Category: News | Posted on Tue, January, 24th 2012 by THCFinder
Where is the Love NJ?
TRENTON, NJ - New Jersey multiple sclerosis (MS) patient John Ray Wilson is preparing to resume his 5-year prison sentence after the state Supreme Court denied certification, refusing to hear his appeal, on January 20, 2012, according to his lawyer, William Buckman. Buckman called the Appellate Court decision that the Supreme Court let stand, "wrongheaded and a vicious travesty."
Wilson was arrested on August 18, 2008 and was charged with "manufacturing" 17 marijuana plants that he used to treat his MS. Wilson faced 20 years in state prison for this crime. At trial, Superior Court Judge Robert Reed would not let the jury hear the reason that Wilson grew the marijuana plants, essentially removing Wilson's only defense. Many members of the community felt this was an injustice and protested outside the court house in Somerville. In December 2009 Wilson was acquitted of the most serious charge, but he was convicted of a second degree charge of manufacturing marijuana. He was sentenced to five years in prison on March 19, 2010.
On July 26, 2011, an Appellate Court affirmed the conviction and sentencing. The Appellate Court agreed with the trial judge that there was no "personal use" exemption to the charge of manufacturing over ten marijuana plants. It did not matter that Wilson was using the marijuana to treat his MS, the Appellate Court ruled. They agreed that five years in prison for this crime was an appropriate sentence.
Governor Chris Christie has so far ignored appeals from State Senators Scutari and Lesniak for a pardon for Wilson. Ken Wolski, RN, executive director of the Coalition for Medical Marijuana--New Jersey (CMMNJ) said, "This is further proof that there is no justice for medical marijuana patients in New Jersey."
Marijuana-Based Painkiller Seeks FDA Approval
Category: News | Posted on Mon, January, 23rd 2012 by THCFinder
A quarter-century after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first prescription drugs based on the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, additional medicines derived from or inspired by the cannabis plant itself could soon be making their way to pharmacy shelves, according to drug companies, small biotech firms and university scientists.
A British company, GW Pharma, is in advanced clinical trials for the world's first pharmaceutical developed from raw marijuana instead of synthetic equivalents — a mouth spray it hopes to market in the U.S. as a treatment for cancer pain. And it hopes to see FDA approval by the end of 2013.
Sativex contains marijuana's two best known components — delta 9-THC and cannabidiol — and already has been approved in Canada, New Zealand and eight European countries for a different usage, relieving muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis.
FDA approval would represent an important milestone in the nation's often uneasy relationship with marijuana, which 16 states and the District of Columbia already allow residents to use legally with doctors' recommendations. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration categorizes pot as a dangerous drug with no medical value, but the availability of a chemically similar prescription drug could increase pressure on the federal government to revisit its position and encourage other drug companies to follow in GW Pharma's footsteps.
Woman sold pot to minor, police say
Category: News | Posted on Mon, January, 23rd 2012 by THCFinder
It's stupid people like this who do so much harm to our industry!
A 19-year-old woman was arrested after Irvine police watched her sell medical marijuana bought from a Costa Mesa dispensary, authorities said.
Irvine police said they learned of the woman when a concerned parent notified authorities that she was allegedly selling marijuana to high school students, the Daily Pilot reported.
Irvine detectives began surveillance of Yvette Ordaz, and watched her pick up pot at the Marijuana County Collective on Redhill Avenue in Costa Mesa, they said.
According to police, officers watched Ordaz sell the drug to two adult men and then meet a 16-year-old high school student at a gas station convenience store to make a third transaction.
Police arrested Ordaz at the scene. The minor was issued a citation and released to his parents. The other buyers were also cited for possession of marijuana, police said.
Ordaz was booked at the Orange County Jail on charges of transportation and sales of marijuana, and a third charge for selling marijuana to a minor. She has since been released.
Bengals receiver Jerome Simpson indicted on felony marijuana charge
Category: News | Posted on Thu, January, 19th 2012 by THCFinder
COVINGTON, Ky. - Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson is facing a criminal charge four months after a package of marijuana was allegedly delivered to his Northern Kentucky home.
A Kenton County grand jury on Thursday indicted Simpson on one felony count of trafficking marijuana. The charge carries a prison sentence between one and five years. However, since he does not have a criminal record, Simpson could be eligible for diversion, according to the prosecutor's office.
Simpson has been under investigation after 2.5 pounds of marijuana was allegedly delivered to his home in Crestview Hills on Tuesday, Sept. 20. Authorities say Simpson's girlfriend signed for the package, which originated in Eureka, California.
The package was part of the so-called Emerald Triangle, the state's vaunted pot-growing region, and was discovered by a drug-sniffing dog in Sacramento, according to California Department of Justice spokesperson Michelle Gregory. The address label bore the name of Jason Snider, but Gregory said it's not unusual for people to use false names when sending illegal drugs through the mail.
The agents then alerted law enforcement in Kentucky who intercepted the package and monitored its delivery. Barb Schempf, a spokeswoman for the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, confirmed that airport police participated in the controlled delivery, but declined further comment.
A search of Simpson's home also turned up 6 more pounds of marijuana, smoking pipes and scales, authorities said. The North Carolina native was not arrested.
"We don't believe it (the package) was for personal use," said Gregory. "We believe there's some sort of distribution or sales out of his home."
Should NCAA Sanction Universities for Marijuana Use by Their Student-Athletes?
Category: News | Posted on Wed, January, 18th 2012 by THCFinder
Marijuana is obviously not a player enhancing type of drug so who cares if these guys are "relaxing" after working their asses off for their team, coaches, and school year round!
It wasn't long ago that we heard about the three LSU football players who were suspended for a game against Auburn because of synthetic marijuana use.
It seemed unbelievable at the time, especially because LSU was undefeated and looking forward to its November 5th showdown with archrival Alabama. It was the story of the week around the SEC and all of college football.
But the story picked up more momentum when it was reported that one of the three players was Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu. The question remains today as to whether the story hurt his chances in this season's Heisman race.
Then it was Auburn's turn when the Tigers suspended running back Michael Dyer, who won the 2011 BCS Championship Game Offensive MVP. To this day, the stories are unconfirmed as to the exact reason for his sudden exit from the Tigers squad, but it has been reported that he allegedly tested positive for marijuana.
But, wait, it isn't over yet. Now, Dre Kirkpatrick from the BCS Champion Alabama Crimson Tide has been arrested on a marijuana charge.
Has this become a college football problem?
Is it just an SEC problem?
The real question is whether the NCAA should step in to keep order at individual schools. We have seen the NCAA on top of USC and Ohio State for violations that do not necessarily involve criminal activity.
The NCAA could decide that schools with student-athletes who continue to have problems with the law lack institutional control.
At the same time, however, there is an argument that these are simply kids who are making bad decisions. Or is their behavior even bad?
Marijuana use is legal under California law with a license from a medical professional. So, it is a possibility that marijuana use might be legal for some collegiate athletes in the Golden State.
Is this fair for the rest of the country's athletes?

How soon after conception can you start getting pregnancy symptoms?
On Sunday my husband and I had sex and the condom slipped off inside of me for who knows how long. When I went to pull it out it seemed like there was nothing inside of it. Last night my stomach was achy and gassy. Today (2 days later) I feel sick to my stomach, have no appetitie, shortness of breath, fluttery stomach, anxiety, feeling hot, dizzy and lightheaded. I also have this type of euphoria feeling too! My body just feels different! My Mom was very fertile with both my brother and I and she knew within a week that she was pregnancy. Can you get pregnancy signs this soon? When should I test?

Actually that's not true that your body only starts sending out hormones after conception. Your body starts sending out hormones right away. It does take about 6 days for the egg to travel up the fallopian tubes and then implant in the uterus, but as soon as that egg is fertilized your body starts sending out hormones preparing the body for pregnancy and the uterus. So yes, you can start feeling symptoms even a day later. It depends how in touch you are with your body. If you feel different somehow that's probably because changes are happening right away.posted 07/11/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I got symptoms quite fast id say i had similar to you. I took a test after my period was due......and I was right! :) Im pregnant. So yes I think you can get signs very soon. The reason i waited until after my period was due was because i knew it would be accurate .posted 10/02/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I got symptoms honestly at about 3 weeks along... I hadn't even been late yet so I thought I was just really sick...posted 12/15/2013 by Gunners1
I got symptoms about a week or two after, I didn't know they were symptoms until after I found out I was pregnant though, because they were kind of normal things. You could for sure be pregnant though. I would test 5 days before your period is due, and if it's negative then take another one 2 days later and so on until your period hits or you get a positiveposted 10/02/2012 by ChaseCo
It sounds like you're so worried about getting pregnant that your letting your body trick you. Don't try to look for signs, you will find them even if they aren't real. Wait until you've missed your period and then take a pregnancy test.posted 10/03/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Please help meposted 12/15/2014 by hlomph
I know this is an old post but I am in a similar situation. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex (using the pull out method) unknowingly during my ovulation dates (2/20-2/25)... I started feeling symptoms about 5 days later. I was throwing up, stomach cramps, feeling dizzy, getting really hot, hunger but also loss of appetite at the same time. I took a test 1.5-2 weeks later (yesterday) and received a positive pregnancy test. My boyfriend is now convinced it is not his because of how soon I was feeling the symptoms and got results. But it IS his child. Please tell me this is possible so I can prove to him. I had a period in February, but haven't had one this month yet and it was due the first week of March.posted 03/08/2015 by upsidedowoon3
I had a miscarriage over a week ago, me and my partner had unprotected sex yesterday morning, had cramps today haven't felt like eating feeling tired all day and boobs hurt, even though I lost all signs of being pregnant as soon as I past the baby Is it possible I could be pregnant again so quickly?posted 09/26/2015 by jess9696
The baby doesn't implant until about 1.5-2 weeks after conception. That is the point where your body starts sending out hormones to let you know you are pregnant Symptoms can begin shortly after implantation. So you are probably letting your imagination get the better of you :) You should test about 3.5-4 weeks after your last period.posted 10/02/2012 by Czerenity

And they do it at Best Buy stores most often, a new poll shows.
43% of U.S. adults have participated in showrooming, according to a new survey of 2,249 consumers conducted by the Harris Poll from Nov. 27-29. Showrooming takes place when a shopper goes to a store to test out merchandise and then searches the web—often from a mobile device while in the store—for a better deal and ultimately buys the item online.
Best Buy Co. ranked as the No. 1 store where consumers showroomed, with 24% of respondents saying they visited a Best Buy store and then purchased goods they tested out there at a web retailer. Consumers spent $281 on average online after trying out a product in a Best Buy store, the poll finds. Men (30%) are more likely to report Best Buy as their top showrooming location than women (17%). Average online spending is much higher among consumers who typically visit a Best Buy store and then buy online than among shoppers who do in-store research at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. or Target Corp. and then make a purchase on the web. Wal-Mart showrooming shoppers spent $119.10 online and those who used Target as a showroom spent $79.30.
Wal-Mart ranked as the second most popular store for showrooming, with 22% saying they looked at products there. Wal-Mart was followed by Target (9%), Home Depot Inc. (4%), Lowe's Cos. Inc. (3%) and Barnes & Noble (3%). For both Wal-Mart and Target, women said they showroomed in those stores more often than men. 27% of women and 18% of men showroomed at Wal-Mart, and 12% of women and 7% of men did so at Target.
After consumers check out items at stores, they most often wind up buying online at Amazon.com Inc. 57% of consumers say they most frequently bought from Amazon after visiting a bricks-and-mortar store. EBay Inc. and Wal-Mart tied for a distant second at 5% each.
Some shoppers wind up buying from the online version of the bricks-and-mortar store where they showroomed. For example, 12% of Target showroomers go online to purchase from Target.com, 11% of Wal-Mart showroomers purchase from Walmart.com, and 8% of Best Buy showroomers purchase from Best Buy online. Spending is also significantly higher among male showroomers ($269.80) than among their female counterparts ($148.70).
A recent poll from web measurement firm comScore Inc. shows similar results as the Harris poll. Nearly four in 10, or 37%, of consumers that comScore polled this year say they checked out products in stores and then bought online. However, only a fraction of those consumers answered "Yes" to that question when comScore didn't describe what showrooming was, illustrating that many consumers don't use the term to describe browsing in stores and then buying online.
Best Buy is No. 25 in the Internet Retailer Mobile 400. Wal-Mart is No. 6, Target No. 34 and Amazon No. 1.
On the ground, China's economy looks quite strong. And Chinese consumers crave Western goods.

Another thing about shelf life, I had someone give me bottles of very old HC-110. He said it worked fine. I saw a big difference in base fog, highlight separation, and D-Max areas when I processes a test roll (AKA a roll my wife shot). So it's shelf life is not infinite. Now that I got my old M2 repaired and fitted with a nice Summicron M lens, I'm playing with Tri-X in Rodinol, and T-Max 400 in HC-110B. Neither will be like the TX in HC-110. Sad face here.
Well, nothing can stay on the shelf forever and not change. Rodinal goes too. But, why stay with dilution B? You can go to a higher dilution if you want a longer time, HC-110 is remarkably consistent over a wide dilution range. I long ago switched to using ratios that I could mix without thinking too hard. 1:50, 1:75 etc.

7 Surprising Sources of Added Sugar
Foods dont have to be sweet to contain the added sugar experts say to avoid.
May 2015 — Sugar is in the crosshairs of the nations nutrition experts, with the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) for the first time recommending limiting added sugars to no more than 10% of daily calories. (See the May newsletter for the complete story.) The US Food and Drug Administration, meanwhile, has proposed a separate listing for added sugars in its updated Nutrition Facts panel. Unquestionably, there is no benefit from high intakes of added sugar, says Tufts professor Alice H. Lichtenstein, DSc, who served as vice-chair of the DGAC, and for most people there are adverse effects.

Bus Service Pricing Allegations
NSIAD-98-148R: Published: Apr 6, 1998. Publicly Released: Apr 6, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined allegations that the Army was overcharged for bus service provided under an acquisition agreement with the Hungarian Ministry of Defense, focusing on: (1) the U.S. statutory requirements governing the acquisition agreement; and (2) GAO's views on the results of two Army reviews of bus service pricing.
GAO noted that: (1) the U.S. Army Europe's Internal Review and Compliance Office and the U.S. Army Audit Agency investigated allegations of overcharges for bus services provided under the Hungarian acquisition agreement; (2) the Internal Review and Compliance Office concluded that the Army was overcharged for bus services because reciprocal pricing arrangements were not followed; (3) the Army Audit Agency concluded that reciprocal pricing provisions did not apply to the bus service contracts; (4) GAO believes that reciprocal pricing did not apply and that the Hungarian Logistics Directorate should have negotiated for the lowest possible cost; (5) neither audit determined whether the lowest possible cost was obtained, and there is no way for GAO to make that determination now; and (6) however, the price variation documented in the Internal Review and Compliance Office's report and the report's discussion of a lower price tender made by one of the bus companies for its services suggest that lower prices may have been available.

Am I Being Consistent on Testing Requirements?

Special Prayer Points
Dear Praying friends, Thank you for being willing to prayer for our work. Here are a few points we would really value your prayers for at this moment.
New Projects
A number of new projects are planned for the coming months. Please pray especially for:
CCM Job Club
In September CCM are intending to launch a Job Club at its Family Centre building in Wood End. This club will be part of a wider Job Club initiatives being worked on by a number of churches/organisations across parts of the city. Please pray for the setting up of this
At this stage we plan to run on a Wednesday morning and will offer support to those seeking work by helping with CV's, developing interview skills as well as fundamental things such as helping to apply for a job online.
We are currently looking to put together a team of people who might be willing to be involved. We need people with a reasonable level of computer skills (eg can use a laptop and are ok with using the Internet and something like MS Word) some training will be given.
We also need people who would help with hospitality (welcome, chat, tea/coffee making etc)
If you feel you could offer at least one Wednesday morning a month to help people who are desperate to find a job, or would like to know more please email me.
Early Intervention in Partnership with TLG – The Education Charity. Please pray for volunteers to come forward so that we can launch this new initiative at Moat House Primary School in September/October 2013. TLG trains volunteers as Behaviour Coaches to go into schools and support primary-aged children through issues which are often outside their control, such as family breakdown and bullying.
ROC Junior
The launch of ROC Junior on June 11 went very well. We would appreciate your prayers every Tuesday between 3.30 and 5.00 for the group. If you would like to pray regularly for specific children, please e-mail Helen and she will give you the initials of five children to pray for and send you half-termly updates on those children.
The launch of the National Christian Helpline continues to be delayed due to technical difficulties. So this is very frustrating for all involved. The new system is actually 98% working. Please pray for a breakthrough in the coming weeks and that those who have the final say regarding this at Premier Lifeline will have the confidence to go ahead without the new system having to be totally 100% right. Pray also for plans to recruit from across the Midlands for new listeners to train for this ministry in the autumn.
Pray that the recent leaflet drop to every house in Wood End will increase footfall to our Shop and Café.
Please continue to pray for protection of our buildings and for all our staff and volunteers especially over the summer holidays.
Prayer Diary October - December 2015.
Thank you for praying for the work and team of Coventry City Mission. If you would like to be updated more regularly on specific prayer points please send us your email address via our "Contact Us" page and we will add you to our fortnightly email update.

SA under stress during heatwave
The heatwave engulfing South Australia is moving into it's fourth day and the most stressful part, according to the weather bureau. Fatigue is starting to take a toll on many, who can't get any relief from high overnight temperatures and the number of people going to hospital for heat related illnesses has risen.
Source: The World Today | Duration: 3min 45sec
Topics: phenomena, health, weather, sa
SCOTT BEVAN: South Australia is moving into the most stressful part of its five day heatwave, according to the weather bureau.
Adelaide's maximum is expected to reach 46 degrees and potentially surpass the all-time record for the city, and making it the hottest city in the world for today.
Fatigue is starting to take a toll on many, while the number of people going to hospital for heat-related illnesses has risen.
Caroline Winter reports.
CAROLINE WINTER: It's the fourth of five consecutive days over 40 degrees in Adelaide and patience is wearing thin.
VOX POP 1: Day four I must say I'm feeling really, really tired. Didn't sleep too well last night. I'm pretty lucky being in air conditioning most of the day at work but today I'm definitely feeling pretty tired.
VOX POP 2: Overnight is definitely not comfortable unless you've got the air conditioning. I can only imagine that people who don't have it have got to be making arrangements for going to friends or something like that.
VOX POP 3: Being a chef and caterer in a cafe, we're working on hot section seven days a week so we get up to approximately 40 degrees say if all the burners are going. One of the things with the heatwave is stepping outside and getting some relief from that heat and unfortunately we can't do that.
CAROLINE WINTER: It's expected to reach 46 degrees in Adelaide today. The all time record high set in 1939 is 46.1 and there's a good chance that will fall.
While it's not really a record you want to break, acting regional director at the weather bureau John Nairn says it's not out of reach.
JOHN NAIRNE: The trick with a heatwave is the high minimum temperature that we've come off overnight. In Adelaide itself we came off a temperature of 30 degrees this morning. That means we get to the high temperatures quicker and we have to endure those high temperatures for longer during the day.
CAROLINE WINTER: It will also make Adelaide the hottest city in the world for today, according to the UNs World Meteorological Organisation which gathers official global predictions.
The next closest location is in Brazil, where Rio de Janeiro is expected to reach 40.
But relief won't arrive until tomorrow. The bureau's John Nairn again:
JOHN NAIRNE: The most stressful part of the heat wave is what we're moving into now, the highest temperature and then a higher minimum tonight.
And because the change is being delayed at the moment, we anticipate the change really won't be effective in Adelaide until probably around sundown.
CAROLINE WINTER: Another minimum of 30 tonight will be followed by a top of 40 tomorrow.
The sustained high daily temperatures and lack of cool nights is taking its toll. Fatigue and irritability are commonplace as people struggle for relief.
Janice Fletcher is from the Australian Medical Association of South Australia.
JANICE FLETCHER: People are probably tired and getting a bit sick of it. It depends on whether they've been able to get any sleep as to how they feel when they wake up in the morning. It can be very stressful, particularly if you don't have air conditioning or particularly if you're working outside.
CAROLINE WINTER: As expected, the numbers of people presenting to hospitals with heat related illnesses has risen, but there are many more going undiagnosed.
Rachel Ryan says she's been drinking lots of water, wearing sunscreen and staying indoors as much as possible. But she was caught out after a short bike ride yesterday.
RACHEL RYAN: I was incapable of waking up yesterday afternoon, I slept for two hours and after that broke out in a very angry heat rash and today I feel like I have one of the worst hangovers of my life.
CAROLINE WINTER: Other parts of South Australia are expecting temperatures as high as 47 degrees, and in many of those places Country Fire Service volunteers are fighting bushfires. There are 16 burning across the state and everyone is on high alert for the possibility of many more.
SCOTT BEVAN: Caroline Winter reporting.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Flies don't drop this fast.
Closer Matt Lindstrom became the latest — and now sixth — member of the White Sox to hit the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday. Lindstrom is back in Chicago to undergo more tests, including an MRI, to determine the severity of the injury to his sublexing peroneal (outside) tendon in his left ankle.
Lindstrom exited Monday's win over the Kansas City Royals with no outs in the ninth inning after he suffered an injury while trying to field a sac bunt attempt.
Now a team that has already reshuffled its roster plenty will have to reorganize it yet again with the focus being the bullpen.
[MORE: Sale could return to pitch vs. Yankees]
"Injury of the day," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "We don't know the full extent of it, but we do know it was enough to go on the DL. He wasn't walking very good.
"His reaction, even walking out there, and his explanation — it's not an Achilles — but usually when someone says it feels like somebody kicked them in the back of the leg, it's usually an Achilles. But it's something in his ankle, and we're going to have to figure out what it is.
"We know he's not going to be with us for at least a couple of weeks."
The injury problem has become a common one in the White Sox clubhouse where the "Days without an accident" counter rarely gets past two or three days. On Monday, Chris Sale, who is on the verge of returning after more than a month away, said the White Sox might consider disinfecting the clubhouse because the team has caught the injury bug.
Saturday it was the departure of Jose Abreu from the lineup, just as leadoff man Adam Eaton returned to the club from his DL stint. Before Eaton it was Conor Gillaspie and Sale and Felipe Paulino and Avisail Garcia and Nate Jones and Gordon Beckham and Jeff Keppinger.
Lindstrom's injury means a bullpen that has blended nicely after two early weeks of struggle will have to determine a new pecking order. Javy Guerra joined the group on Tuesday up from Triple-A Charlotte and even though he has 71 professional saves, including 29 in the majors with the Los Angeles Dodgers, he's not to that point right now.

"As of now I just know I'm one of the guys in the 'pen," Guerra said. "Get to go out there and compete and earn whatever you get."
Ventura and pitching coach Don Cooper said they won't announce a new closer but feel like they have plenty of good options. Ronald Belisario hasn't allowed a run over his past 17 1/3 innings, Jacob Petricka has a 1.85 ERA and Zach Putnam's is down to 1.45.
"The bullpen has been doing well lately, and we have a couple of different guys who can do it," Ventura said.
Still, it won't be easy.
While it's difficult for players not to notice injuries stacking up— the White Sox have already lost 175 days to the DL this season — they can't afford to be consumed by it. Even if its their two-time All-Star starting pitcher, their league-leading cleanup man, their leadoff guy, basically five-ninths of their Opening Day lineup, and lastly their top two relievers, they have to adjust.
Beckham likes how the White Sox have handled the adversity as they've stayed within striking distance of the .500 mark despite their maladies. At the start of Tuesday, the White Sox find themselves within two games of a wild-card spot even though it's far too early to start looking at that sort of thing.
"You don't want to look at it as it's just another injury," said Beckham, who missed several weeks in April with an oblique strain. "Obviously they're bad for the player that's going through it and bad for the team. But we need people to just come in and step up and just come do the job. Come in, work hard and do the best you can and it has been working out pretty well thus far.
"Some teams will crumble under that and others will find a way to win. We haven't been great by any stretch of the imagination, but we've been solid. Solid is keeping us in this right now."
