Dear Ms. Vicki,
My husband has been deployed five times and I don't recognize him anymore. I know he needs help because he refuses to be in a crowded place. This means we can't go to a concert together or to the movies. He can barely stand to go out to dinner.
He has nightmares at least three times a week where he wakes up screaming and crying and even hitting at the air. Now, we don't even sleep together because I'm afraid he will hurt me.
We never make love anymore; it's been months since he even touched me. I don't know where to go from here. I just want him to get help, but he won't. He thinks he will lose his job or that his commanders won't think he's useful anymore.
Thinks He's Crazy
Dear Thinks,
Your letter is just like so many that I have received from spouses, fiancées and servicemembers about PTSD. It is not unusual that your husband would be afraid to seek professional help because of many fearful reasons.
Recent changes mean that impacted servicemembers are now referring to post-traumatic stress as an injury and not a disorder. Efforts are being made to decrease the stigma associated with the diagnosis. There are new guidelines and criteria for a diagnosis that may make it easier to get treatment.
Working with servicemembers each week, I am amazed at their resilience. I also spend a great amount of time trying to dispel myths associated with this diagnosis. Here are a few of the myths I think you and your husband need to explore.
1. I'm Crazy: Servicemembers often ask me, "Am I crazy?" It's normal to feel like no one understands your experience. You may feel like your experiences make you different from everyone else. Servicemembers who improve after a traumatic incident say their connections with their battle buddies provided insurmountable support because they were able to validate their experience. Remember, you and your body have been stressed to the max and you are trying to make sense of everything. You are human, not crazy. So work on keeping strong personal and social relationships with others.
2. I Am Weak: Anyone can get post-traumatic stress. Two people can witness the same event yet have different outcomes. One can develop the symptoms of PTSD. The other may not. This is not a matter of physical strength or courage. Our personalities and our temperaments are a big part of who we are. PTSD is a normal response to a significant stressful event, not a weakness.
3. I'm Used Goods: Servicemembers with post-traumatic stress often feel like they are incapable of continuing to serve their country. They also feel ostracized from their commanders and other leaders. I often hear a servicemember say, "I let everyone down." Or, "Everyone treats me like I'm used goods -- washed up."
Acknowledging your symptoms and discussing them with your loved ones and a professional will help to decrease anxiety and help normalize your experience. You have changed, but this is a part of life.
4. I'll Never Get Better: Post-traumatic stress is treatable. However, you may never forget what you experienced. Treatment can help decrease the symptoms and the extent of the paralyzing memories that interfere and stop you from enjoying your life.
Don't see your symptoms as an unbeatable challenge. Combat is stressful, but servicemembers can learn to reframe stressful events and move toward a happy future. Here are some great resources below that will help.

Coping With Traumatic Stress Reactions
Symptoms of PTSD can cause impairments in careers, relationships with others, and even your physical health. So many strides are being made in the treatment of post-traumatic stress. Reach out and try for help again.

BBB proposes the following advice:
Get acquainted. Find out about businesses' ownership, tenure and locations. Ask to view: references; portfolios; brochures; and showrooms or product samples.
Don't settle. Shop around. Compare quality, costs and availability. Aim to interview multiple prospects and don't give in to high-pressure tactics.
Devote time to verify details. Get explanations on special promotions, sweepstakes, drawings, prize packages and other offers in writing. If participating, collect and save documentation.
Only give consent if comfortable. Before filling out forms at shows and expos, find out how contact information will be used; view privacy policies. Consider creating separate email accounts specifically for wedding-related communications.
Do research before saying "I do." Look for signs of reliability. Check for proper licensing, consumer reviews on the Internet and BBB Business Reviews at bbb.org.
Don't agree to disagree. Get all agreements in writing. Make sure delivery dates and service locations are included. Look for an itemized breakdown of costs on products, services and labor; see if fees are flat or hourly.
Love or leave. Take a close look at satisfaction guarantees. Carefully review policies on cancellations and refunds; make sure details and dates are clearly outlined.
Split up payments. Avoid purchasing services or reservations in full upfront. Opt to pay minimum deposits.
Ditch cash. Pay by credit card. Most cards offer buyer protections if services are not performed or merchandise is not delivered.
Hold on. After booking services, confirm reservations and event specifics - preferably by email. For product and merchandise orders, request confirmation numbers and delivery tracking. Reserve all receipts and paperwork.
Be prepared to alter plans. Find out if there are any protections in place if businesses close unexpectedly or can't keep promises. If stores blame designers, manufacturers or shipping companies for delays or defects, go directly to those sources to confirm and get answers. If needed, take steps to cancel transactions or dispute payments through credit card providers. Report issues at bbb.org.

Hi all, I have a question for all of you. I'd like to create a page as container with all my uploaded pictures, but in the page I want only 10 boxes shown and I'd like that the gallery automatically updates the pictures inside those boxes after, for example, 10 seconds.
Do you think could it be possible?
Any hint? (jQuery, but I mean some nice tutorials, and maybe some help for the NextGen integration).
Best Regards.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2013
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:55:09.
Courses taught by Gareth Doherty
09341: Preparation of Design Thesis Proposal for Master in Landscape Architecture (ADV 0934100)
Landscape Architecture
Seminar - 4 credits
Monday 3:00 - 6:00 Gund 510
Gareth Doherty, Sonja Duempelmann
Course Description
A weekly seminar required for MLA candidates electing to pursue a design thesis. The intent of the course is to define the parameters of the design thesis and frame the individual candidate's thesis statement. The first half of the course addresses a series of broad themes essential to developing a cogent thesis topic: disciplinary frameworks; identification of precedents; methodological concerns; means of representation; questions of site and program; research resources; and relevant literature. The second half focuses on practical necessities, including writing a thesis statement and abstract; site selection; base documentation; and data collection and analysis. The course will meet weekly for three hours; it will include group discussions of readings and precedent studies and individual sessions with a focus on writing and representation. Course requirements include class attendance and participation; brief weekly writings; the preparation of a thesis proposal document for which detailed requirements will be provided; and a final presentation of the proposal, both in class and to outside reviewers. Students will also be expected to identify and secure a thesis advisor during the semester.
09630: Urban Design Proseminar (ADV 0963000)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Wednesday 3:00 - 6:00 Gund 112
Eve Blau, Gareth Doherty
Course Description
The proseminar is a forum for conversation on contemporary urban design. It is structured around three overlapping discussions: the formation of the discipline, critiques of urban design, and projections and speculations on the future of the discipline. Theory and practice are contextualized in a way that is not limited to the study of the physical city but includes operations made on the city as well as topics in related fields. The course examines the contested terrain of architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning and design, with engineering, geography, sociology, and scientific, cultural, and historical disciplines. Although all the mechanisms for considering the city cannot be covered within the constraints of the proseminar, the focus will be on developing a critical perspective that comes from a deeper understanding of theory, practice, and speculation. Presentations by guest GSD and Harvard faculty, together with site visits, will contextualize urban design today and its range of opportunities and potential. The proseminar requires active engagement with discussions and assignments, and provides a foundation for further course and studio work at the GSD.
Expectations: The emphasis of the course is on engagement: with the readings, the guests, and with the discussions.
Grading: Class participation (30%), Response Papers (40%), Assignment 1 (10%), Assignment 2 (20%). Late assignments will not be accepted unless agreed in advance with the instructor or, in the case of illness, accompanied with a medical certificate.

Rangers Beat Yankees 10-3, Move Within One Win of World Series
The Texas Rangers hit four home runs, two by Josh Hamilton, to beat the New York Yankees 10-3 and move within a win of their first trip to the World Series.
Bengie Molina's three-run home run off A.J. Burnett with two outs in the sixth inning at Yankee Stadium erased a 3-2 deficit for the Rangers. Texas added five runs over the last three innings, with Hamilton hitting two solo home runs and Nelson Cruz adding a two-run shot.
The Rangers, who have 15 home runs this postseason, now hold a 3-1 lead in the American League Championship Series. Since baseball's league championship series went to a best-of-seven format in 1985, 13 of the 17 teams with a 3-1 ALCS lead have reached the World Series.
Game 5 is scheduled for today at Yankee Stadium, where pitcher CC Sabathia will start for the Yankees against the Rangers' C.J. Wilson. The ALCS would return to Arlington, Texas, for the final two games, if necessary.
The San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 yesterday for a 2-1 lead in the National League Championship Series. Matt Cain allowed two hits over seven innings to send the Phillies to their first postseason shutout since the 1983 World Series.
Game 4 of the NLCS is set for tonight in San Francisco, with Joe Blanton scheduled to start for the Phillies against 21-year-old Giants rookie Madison Bumgarner.

to dissimilar hardware the Operating System's HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) gets involved and when it doesn't find what it is equipt to find it bluescreens.
Acronis has its own SUPPORT and the Acronis knowledgebase offers the following -
In essence you NEED either EXACTLY the same hardware on both computers or you REQUIRE the Acronis add-on "Acronis Universal Restore to deploy the image of a Windows system to a machine with different hardware" - http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/ATICW/universal-restore.html
This need for Universal Restore was already mentioned to you in the Wilder's forum you linked to but apparently you still have not assimilated this information and put it into action - ignoring this requirement doesn't make it go away.
i have posted this on acronis forums also....
my questions are numbered (1)-(3)
(1) how do i restore to a different computer that has a different hard drive interface?
my computer backup has been made on my laptop with a IDE hard drive
I have a desktop that has a SATA hard drive and when i restore the TIB file to it get a blue screen stop error
"STOP: 0x0000007b (0xf78a6528, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)"
i have tried it the other way around too...making a backup with my SATA drive (desktop)(same xp pro manually installed) and then trying to restore it to the laptop (IDE) (this gives me the same blue screen) (safe mode loads the xp boot files and then i get the same blue screen.
(2)how do i get it to have it when i am whiping out the laptops drive with the backup?
(3 IMPORTANT QUESTION) what is an alternative program or way to allow me to restore my backup to any hard drive and to any interface.
PS> (now thinking its an interface problem i have installed a seperate IDE hard drive into my Desktop and tried to restore the laptops IDE backup file to it....no luck).... now the laptops hard drive is IDE and my secondary desktop hard drive is IDE i really dont know why this is not working. (ALSO THE BACKUP FILE IS FINE AND IT HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND RESTORED TO THE LAPTOP TWICE....AND YES IT HAS BEEN RESTORED RECENTLY (TODAY).
I would appreciate any help thanks alot.

Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC's Sherlock, The Imitation Game, Frankenstein at the National Theatre) takes on the title role of Shakespeare's great tragedy. Directed by Lyndsey Turner (Posh, Chimerica) and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, National Theatre Live will broadcast this eagerly awaited production live to cinemas. As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart.

Maud that was what I was going to ask, I have to put glasses on to read it.
Stockton "err" well no change so I will not bother.Sandbed still off, no point in sowing until it warms up and that east wind is frigid.
Derek, the heads was a Navy term originally a small platform with if you were lucky a bit of canvas hung over the Bows of the ship, it was situated in the Heads and I imagine lead to a lot of constipation.The army called the holes in the ground behind the camp Heads as some had a wooden log to sit on some were squat but not after drinking and the odd one or two had some canvas around them. If there was a rush it was a toss up heads you got a seat and canvas to put your tail on, tails it was let it all hang out. Being modest in the forces was not the way to go, says he who dived into the Suez Canal starkers at the narrowest part in front of a bus full of Waaf's fifty odd yards across on the other side. My excuse was i did not see them but boy it raised a cheer.Fairygirl Scran was an old Geordie word for food which I would assume came from over the border the number of times those blokes in skirts came our way, as with many words in our language in these parts possibly Nordic as we are supposed to be mainly Viking stock.
Good job you lot do not live in my neck of the woods everything is nautical, the floor is the deck, living room main deck, upstairs upper deck if we are up we go below decks. We go aft and fora rd, port and starboard and often in our cups roll in the scuppers. "Oh dad is in the engine room" the kitchen, "Hannah do you want the heads" toilet if daughter is taking me out I get told wear your tiddly suit and we eat scran.When they brought starngers from sounth of the Tees home they thought we were from Mars, not our fault if they do not talk properly.I ask why "Train Station" in my day it was the Railway Station we left from and came back to, the Bus Station was always the Terminus and the spell check does not know its ears from its elbows, well that is my way of putting it.
Frank is on line fit and well.Councils are always under fire so I see no point in flogging it. As one who remembers councils who were all voluntary, people of the town who did it because they believed in towns being run properly with good services.Along came labour and they announced they would pay Councilors and give them expenses. In our town of full and well paid employment we suddenly found all the people who did not want work on the Council and not only that they would also get their wives elected and boy did they spend our money.Because the wages for the ordinary council workers were poor compared with industry a good pension scheme was put in place as an attraction which we are all now paying for.As Industry was killed off the local councils became the largest employers in this area that means a lot of the income from Government and Rates goes on wages and pensions.Is that good or bad?? At least people are employed in what is a bad area for employment, pensioners with extra cash can spend in the town shops and services, the jury is out on that one.What was sown many years ago is now being harvested so blame our parents for letting it happen and a jobsworth has to earn his keep somehow.Better go and check on my Lamb and Roast veg so it will be quiet for some while.
Stockton bitter cold dull and flurries of snow, the sand bed stays switched off for another week
Lizzie, we are lucky to live where we do, the seashore is minutes away in one direction and only thirty minutes the other, Whitby 50 minutes over rolling hills and moors. The other way or West Darlington 20 minutes then rolling Dales Teasdale views out to the Pennines, North, it is woodlands more dales and on up to Northumberland who could wish for more.Well Fairy girl in my many visits to Scotland, Army and Holiday I had never made it to John O Groats so when my Daughter said they were taking me on holiday where did I want to go (expecting me to say the continent) they got a shock when I told them. They had to admit it was a wonderful holiday staying in Inverness and touring then on the banks of Loch Lomond via Fort William and Ben Nevis. Glorious weather wonderful people and scenery beyond belief.I ask why travel outside of this wonderful Kingdom of Scotland Ireland Wales and England.
Lizzie, you are right about disturbance although using a three inch pot for direct sowing with say half compost half sand and grit then let them grow on instead of pricking out will give a better chance. Pull the odd weakling (thinning in the pot) then I plant the whole pot into my container as you would any plant. Several pots full to a container thin them as you grow them on and I wash and eat the thinnings delicious uncooked.I did use the guttering method for peas as Rosa says these days I just put them in a four inch pot then plant them into the container from the pot.Containers?? well as you get on a bit and rusty in the joints containers are easy, they can be moved around, turned every other day to change the light and sunlight plus I put them where my Grandchildren can watch them grow then feast off them straight from the vine or the ground soaking themselves with the hose as they wash carrots. They will pick and enjoy peas beans carrots and salad stuff out doors try getting them to eat those things at meal times, Strawberries are the favourite I sometimes get one myself.
Cannot see your photo's Stephanie my antivirus kicked in.Red Spider mite do not like damp conditions although if there is good foliage cover they could be warm and snug inside. I washed them out of mine by hosing the foliage everyday for a while.It does sound more like die back once that happens it takes a while to green up if ever it does. I would cut off a piece see if the main branch is dried out or still growing, check the brown foliage to see if there is anything on it, spider mite are very small.Is it waterlogged at the root, has it shaken loose at the root with the wind. Scrape a bit of soil away from the root carefully and see if new root is growing or has it shrivelled. I would be in there prodding and poking trying to find the answer.Your post is now back at the top, we could yet snare an expert with this one.
"Oh dear" what a hooha, In my old persona I would ask for thirty push ups from you all then forget it.Easter on its way, we will get back to gardening sometime, a good spade fork and Dutch hoe can get rid of a lot of frustration, a sit in the sun soaking up the vitamin C listening to the birds sing and the bees hum is what we all need, meanwhile I am making a cuppa the panacea for all ills.
Stephanie2, you do not say whether it had roots or not, an old Christmas tree perhaps, also Pines normally grow on high or sloping ground good drainage.Did you give a thought to how large it will be if it does manage to grow and have you the room in your garden.All this is guesswork, I am not a lover of pines but it does look as if it had dried out too much to take up water again. It could even have red spider mite which leaves the brown area's you speak of. I put this post on to lift it back to the top as it is interesting to see what comes up.

At a p/e of 10 I don't think China will be leading the push lower for long. Historically China's p/e is 20+, add to that 8% growth and you have the conditions for an explosive move up over the next 3 years. Blackrock says overweight China, Honk Kong, Russia and Brazil. No one has a crystal ball, but over the past years Blackrock has come the closest to having a crystal ball.

Faces of Myanmar in Black & White
Myanmar, formerly Burma, is recognized by the world as the Golden Land. Many pagodas in Myanmar are covered with gold leaf. According to a legendary tale, over 4 million pagodas were built in Bagan (which is certainly not true, because archaeologists today can find only the traces of over 5000 pagodas). But it's not the pagodas which makes Mynamar unique, it's the wonderful and amazing people. Take a look at the Black & White portraits and enjoy the wonderful faces of Myanmar.
The Bashagi Goldmines, Suri Tribe, Ethiopia
The Bashagi goldmines are located near Kibish. After a 40km drive on an unpaved small field road from Kibish to the south there is a small police station where it is possible to stay overnight. Basically the 'police station' consists of two small houses and a ranger with a Kalashnikov in the middle of nowhere. The goldmines are very popular amongst young Suri teenagers between 12 and 17 years. They go in groups of a about 9 or 10 people, and after a 1,5 or 2 days hike from Kibish they finally reach the police station where they sleep and eat.
Usually they stay up to 10 days at the goldmines, and they work every day very hard. If they are lucky they can earn around 400 Birr in 8 or 10 days, which is something like 20 USD. The money is very important for them. Either it is used for the family to buy seed. Especially the young men also save the money for a new cow, which is important for later when they marry, because they have to pay for the bride, and the family of the bride only accepts cattle for the payment.
Monks and novices in Myanmar - the Buddhism way of life
Myanmar is one of the most devout Buddhist countries in the world. About 89% of the people in Myanmar are Buddhist. People in Myanmar practice the Theravada Buddhism, which is more austere and ascetic, but also harder to practice than the Mahayana Buddhism, the other main branch of the Buddhism. Theravada Buddhism is also followed in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Laos and Thailand. No one really knows, but experts estimates that in Myanmar live about half a million monks. It's customary for a male in Myanmar to enter a monastery twice in his life. Once as a samanera, a novice monk, between the age of 10 and 20, and again as a hpongyi, a fully ordained monk, sometime at the age of 20. Some might remain a monk for just a few days, while others stay for life.
Monks hold the highest status in the society of Myanmar. The overwhelming majority of the monks and novives in Myanmar wear maroon-colored robes. Monks receive two meals per day, breakfast and lunch and they are not allowed to eat after 12:00 noon. Early in the morning the monks and novices go out carrying a bowl to get offerings like rice, curry or other food. Usually a monk has his own family where he goes every day. It is not begging, since the family invited the monk to come to their house. It is a ritual that expresses a profound bond between the monks and the ordinary Buddhist and gives the locals the chance of doing the deed of dhana and to acquire merit.


text: LA Law To Sex Offenders – Update Your Social Media Status Or Else By Stephanie Crist June 25, 2012 12:51 PM Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Justin Sullivan/Getty Images A new Louisiana law requires convicted sex offenders to reveal their status on social media websites, and if offenders fail to abide by the law, they face up to 10 years in prison. This means Facebook, Twitter, and everything else. Now, whether they will ACTUALLY update their status if to be seen, but I think this is a great step towards identifying dangerous sex offenders among us. Way to go, Louisiana!

The Left Handed Gun
|No Rating
|Release Date:
|May 7, 1958
|Running time:
|102 minutes
|Paul Newman, Lita Milan, John Dehner, Hurd Hatfield, James Congdon
|Arthur Penn
|Fred Coe
|Leslie Stevens, Gore Vidal
|Warner Bros. Pictures
Description: The Left Handed Gun was adapted by Gore Vidal from his own TV play, The Death of Billy the Kid. 33-year-old Paul Newman stars as 21-year-old William Bonney, the hotheaded gunslinger known as Billy the Kid. Avoiding the usual Hollywood glamourization of this controversial character, Newman portays Bonney pretty much as he was: an illiterate, homicidal cretin. Treated with kindness for the first time in his life by rancher Tunstall (Colin Keith-Johnston), Bonney becomes devoted to the rancher; in fact, it is virtually a love affair. Soon after, however, Tunstall is killed, prompting Bonney to go on a murderous spree. In the end, Bonney must face down the other important father-figure in his life, Pat Garrett (John Dehner). In case anyone should miss the Freudian subtext in The Left Handed Gun, the closeups of Bonney fondling his six-shooter will make things crystal clear.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Okla. businesses swamped with requests for repairs
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Businesses are urging Oklahomans who had damage to their homes and vehicles to be patient.
Automobile repair shops, lumber stores and other related businesses have been inundated with requests since hail pounded parts of the state on Sunday, smashing windshields and windows and damaging roofs.
Jan Apple at Central Glass and Mirror in Oklahoma City said Tuesday all eight phone lines at the business were lit up as employees tried to prioritize calls before more possible stormy weather arrives. Apple says the business is frustrated it can't get to customers as quickly as it would like.
Besides property damage, emergency responders said at least 21 patients were taken to local hospitals as a result of the storm, which left leaves, branches and other debris on the ground.

Female courtship in the Banggai cardinalfish: honest signals of egg maturity and reproductive output?

Despite the vast literature on male courtship behaviour, little is known about the function and information content of female courtship behaviour. Female courtship behaviour may be important in many species, particularly where both sexes invest heavily in the offspring, and if such behaviours contain honest information regarding a female's potential reproductive investment, they may be particularly important in male mate choice. Using observations of two female courtship behaviours (the "rush" and the "twitch") from experimental pairings in the Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni), I addressed the question of whether these courtship behaviours contained information on female reproductive output (clutch weight) and egg maturity (proximity to spawning), traits commonly associated with male mate choice. I especially focused on the importance of these courtship behaviours in relation to other female characters, such as size and condition, using multiple regression. I found that one of these behaviours, the rush, was strongly associated with fecundity, whereas size, condition and the twitch were not. Further, I found that the "twitch" behaviour was associated with how close to actual spawning a female was. The results suggest that female courtship behaviour may convey highly important information in a mate choice context. I discuss the adaptive value of honest information in female courtship behaviour in light of these results.

The one and only time I contacted Adobe it was through live chat on their website, and they solved my problem in minutes. So it just depends.
Also the older authorizations do drop off. I don't know what time table Adobe uses, but from what I've heard it's fairly rare to run up against the limit.
Thanks for the info. I just got my computer back & file wise it is pretty much of a mess. The entire Calibre file would not copy from my old HD. The tech would not even try my Clickfree back-up. I think he just wanted to collect his fee & be done with it. He just said it would not work & I could try it on my own but he could not put in any more time. I have a bunch of things to do to just get my Win 8.1 settings back so I am not even going to mess with it until I get that done.
The one and only time I contacted Adobe it was through live chat on their website, and they solved my problem in minutes. So it just depends.
I had to replace my HD recently & reinstall everything. Installed Calibre 2.30, the version of ADE 2.0 that is on their website & the most recent plug-ins. To my astonishment everything is working. I did not even have to DL Nook Study to get the key. Also Google Books downloading again with no issues. It has taken me days to get everything put back together so I am so glad this part of things was pain free.
Great outcome! Glad it worked out so well for you. Thank you for updating us, and happy reading!
Thanks. It was touch and go for awhile. Had done a backup the day before but was not usable. I had to pull all the data off the old drive via cable. It kept stopping & I had to restart it about every 10 minutes. I had almost 300gb on the drive & it took almost 22hrs. I had to watch it because of the need to restart so not much sleep. Thought I had lost my Calibre Library but was OK. Did lose some pictures & music. In any case, won't rely of Clickfree backup again. If anyone has a suggesting on a reliable external drive & backup software would appreciate you're pointing me in the right direction.

'The T.A.M.I. Show' finally getting DVD release
The T.A.M.I. Show brought together practically every big name in rock 'n' roll except the Beatles when it was filmed at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in October 1964.
The Rolling Stones, James Brown and the Flames, the Beach Boys, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye -- the list goes on and on. Yet despite the big names on the bill, the movie has been badly mistreated over the years -- the Beach Boys' performances were cut, and it's never been properly released on DVD.
Until now. In March, Shout! Factory will issue the full movie for the first time on DVD. For full details and list of the performances in the movie, mosey over to Pedro and the Watcher's pop culture and TV blog.

I am pregnant with my third, due Oct 21st. My previous 2 were born, by induction, 9 days past their due date. I asked my OB today if I would probably go over with this one, and he said more than likely I would. I know there is no way of knowing when I will go in labor, but I wanted to know if anyone has been through this. Did you go over with your third? Were you induced? Thank you for your time.
Over due babies
Comments (3)
I am in the same situation this time. I have been successfully induced at 40 weeks and again at 39 weeks.
I have been taking EPO this time. I've had a few more contractions this time around, so I guess we will have to see!!!
It could be if you had 2 babies that far past that you ovulate later in your cycle so the standard method for guessing your due date may not be accurate...even if not, I always thought a due date was plus or minus 2 weeks. I have had 2 of my 3 go past my "due date" one by 2 days and one by 8 days, but don't consider them late...I wouldn't consider them past due til after 42 weeks which you would have a hard time getting a dr to go along with anyway! My 3rd was 2 days past due date and my midwife wanted to induce but I declined. I have high blood pressure but had just had a bpp and all looked good so I wasn't willing to risk induction for convenience.
My first was born a day before, my second was 2 weeks late, my 3rd was 1 week late and induced because he was big, my 4th was 10 days early....this one however, I am being induced a week early due to my history of macrosomia and shoulder dystocia. They said they are going to start stripping my membranes around 37 weeks. I have always been a big believer that they will come when they are ready but I can't do that with this one.

We sought to develop a reliable and reproducible statistical model to predict the survival outcome of patients with localized melanoma.
A total of 25,734 patients with localized melanoma from the 2008 American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Melanoma Database were used for the model development and validation. The predictive model was developed from the model development data set (n = 14,760) contributed by nine major institutions and study groups and was validated on an independent model validation data set (n = 10,974) consisting of patients from a separate melanoma center. Multivariate analyses based on the Cox model were performed for the model development, and the concordance correlation coefficients were calculated to assess the adequacy of the predictive model.
Patient characteristics in both data sets were virtually identical, and tumor thickness was the single most important prognostic factor. Other key prognostic factors identified by stratified analyses included ulceration, lesion site, and patient age. Direct comparisons of the predicted 5- and 10-year survival rates calculated from the predictive model and the observed Kaplan-Meier 5- and 10-year survival rates estimated from the validation data set yielded high concordance correlation coefficients of 0.90 and 0.93, respectively. A Web-based electronic prediction tool was also developed (http://www.melanomaprognosis.org/).
This is the first predictive model for localized melanoma that was developed based on a very large data set and was successfully validated on an independent data set. The high concordance correlation coefficients demonstrated the accuracy of the predicted model. This predictive model provides a clinically useful tool for making treatment decisions, for assessing patient risk, and for planning and analyzing clinical trials.

Craig Flynn, a filling machine operator was dismissed last
March after Fonterra discovered two videos uploaded to
It showed Mr Flynn and six employees re-enacting the dance.
He appealed against the company's decision to the Employment
Relations Authority (ERA), and in June it ordered his
temporary interim reinstatement pending a substantive
Fonterra had submitted Mr Flynn put himself and others at
risk of harm by organising the videos, "dancing with a shovel
between his legs, hosing water where another employee was
dancing and splashing a pallet endangering himself and
Fonterra argued that the men's conduct breached the company's
code of conduct and health and safety policies, and
constituted serious misconduct.
The ERA disagreed.
"Concerns were raised about increased risks of slipping due
to cream or milk product on the floor, misuse of the hose
creating risk employees may be splashed with chemicals from
the footbath, contamination of packaging and not wearing
earmuffs risking hearing loss."
But the authority said there was no evidence on the video of
milk or cream product on the floor, splashing of chemicals
and contamination of packaging. No other evidence was
produced to justify these concerns.
Authority member Tania Tetitaha also found the plant manager
who dismissed Mr Flynn, Craig Rooks, did not consider
disciplinary alternatives.
She declined to award Mr Flynn any compensation because his
actions contributed to the situation.

Cast: Dynamite, Mariah (I), Holli, Justine (I), Julianna Sterling, Claire (I), Chandler (I), Cherry (I), Ron Jeremy, Ginger (I), Samantha (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Fans of the series and those who like to see really slutty chicks doing what they do best should enjoy this. Mention to your messy girl fetishists, too.
Another high-impact love letter to delicate Gen-X sexuality and young women's reverence for modern music and the handsome, talented men who perform it - sacrificing their all so that others might groove. Inspirational on so many levels. As the box cover promises, groupies have their lunch meat needs met - by having musicians fling it at their nude bodies. It's art, man. Dig it. The music is kickin', the sex is top-shelf, the interview segments always interesting if nearly stereotypical (but sometimes the stereotypes are true). Rock stars and Ron Jeremy all get lucky, real groupies get spy-cammed and Casey Raye gossips about all the musicians she's banged. There's some messy girl fun, as well.

I have created a spreadsheet for work and am trying to protect the sheet so that nobody except myself can edit the document. I have set it up so that I can edit the full range of the document. In the protection setting I have ticked the box that says that any users can use auto-filter.
I have the auto-filter set before applying the security so this is not the issue as many forums would suggest. However I am using Excel 2003 whereas the majority of the organization is using Office 2000. I can't help thinking that there is some incompatibility between the two systems. Can anyone advise? VBA macro's aren't really an option as the default setting within the organization is that only signed macros can run but even then they have to be verified by the end user (very annoying for users with a low IT knowledge).
Does anyone know of a way to make this work?

The City of Ionia Downtown Development Authority has begun a contract with Revitalize in an attempt to help prepare the city for grand fund applications for rental rehabilitation.
The applications will be directed to the Michigan State Housing Development Authority Office of Community Development and will be applicable to the Rental Rehabilitation grant funds.
Grant funds from this program can be used for renovating and creating rental housing units from vacant second-and third-floor building space.
"The target area has been designated to mixed use buildings located in the downtown central business district with boundaries of and including Washington Street, Adams Street, Library Street and Dexter Street," said Downtown Development Authority Director Linda Curtis.
On Tuesday, Sue DeVries, a Michigan State Housing Development Authority representative will be joining forces with the City of Ionia Downtown Development Authority, as well as Bruce Johnson of Revitalize to conduct a public informational meeting.
This meeting will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Ionia Theatre and will provide information related to the rental rehabilitation program.
"Property owners and other interested parties are invited to this meeting to gain insight on the program requirements," Curtis said.

I just received a copy of "Seeing Data – Designing User Interfaces for Database Systems Using .NET" from the kind folks at Addison-Wesley. The simple explanation – it's a book about how to create nice UI's for database-driven Windows apps. Longer explanations – this is one of those books that covers topics that can be found a lot of other places, in a way that makes you slap your head and think – "this is exactly how this should be presented!" This is one of those unique books I'd recommend to anyone doing UI work against databases.
Ms. Riordan covers exactly the right list of topics for this specific type of application – Interface Design, .NET Graphic Objects (GDI+, etc.), Typography, Color, Images ADO.NET Data Binding – all the basics, (that's pretty much part 1 of the book); part 2 covers the good Form Layout stuff and control management, then puts it all together in part 3 to discuss "Interacting with the User".
Like I mentioned, you can probably find these topics covered elsewhere, and for someone who needs a really tight intro to writing efficient database-driven forms apps, this is the book to hand them. Very Highly recommended.

"it was concocted by two staunch Republicans"
Really? Where did you get that? I'd never heard that before, and if you actually watched the show you would not get that impression.
Do you actually bet on 24 Black at the table? I'm partial to 23 Red aka Brentwood Slasher.
Excuse me, but Morgan Freeman was the first black President.
Deep Impact, 1998
By Haysbert's and Aristotle's logic then, Geena Davis should have paved the way for a female President by portraying the Presidential character in the TV show "Commander-in-Chief". Not sure she said anything but it hasn't come to pass yet. For the record, we've had at least four presidential candidates with African-American heritage run since 1968(?). They are the late US Rep. Shirley Anita Chisholm, Lenora Fulani, an independent, Rev. Jesse Jackson (2X?) and Rev. Al Sharpton.
"However, if this is true..." It ain't.
Backfired? I'd guess the Republicans were as prepared for the arrival of a black president as the Democrats. I've no doubt they were sincere in their earlier admiration for Colin Powell (that guy mentioned as a potential candidate in days gone by), for example.
Dear Slog,
Please do not post season-making spoilers to recent major TV series. Some of us have been saving up all that good content for the next time they get relly sick and and plow through 3 seasons of TV on DVD in a week.
I thought the point of 24 was to make torture normal.
*BOOM* *pow* *zingzingzing* *WHOOSH* *terRor* *chuchuchuchu* *tick...tock...tick...tock...* *slAp* *GROIN* *kabloowie!!* *sliceeee*
sorry i just ruined season 7 for you :[
Where did Aristotle say that? Was it in the Poetics?
@6--here are some other timely spoilers: the chick in The Crying Game has a dick, and the Bruce Willis character in The Sixth Sense is dead!
@8-you forgot to mention that jack bauer chokes somebody or 10.
He only paved the way for a half-black president.
#1: Afraid so. Watch with the audio commentary on when the creators are talking. Bummed me out too because I enjoyed the first season, but it kinda makes sense when you consider the world-view it's based around. The "ticking time-bomb" justification for torture is pretty much the basis for the entire show.
I'm looking forward to Obama's Allstate commercials.
Are you trying to tell me that Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?
I thought that the last season of The West Wing was the Obama campaign/presidency...
Obama: you're in good hands.
OK, I just read Joel Surnow's entry in wikipedia - bummer.
Still, though, anyone that watched the show (especially the first few seasons) would be hard-pressed to find any evidence of a conservative/republican agenda. I don't want to give away any more whoppers, but suffice it to say the 24 enemies are not Bush's enemies.
Maybe I'm being naive, but I think the creators' first priority was to create an entertaining, compelling show, and not a platform for the Republican agenda.
completely/terribly/unbelievably backfired
Or not.
As someone else pointed out, I think it's a mistake to assume that the Republican platform is racist; Republicans are classist. They hate poor people. Minorities are disproportionately poor, so it looks like Republicans are always out to fuck them, but I think the causality gets mixed up in people's minds -- especially liberals, who tend to be obsessed with identity politics.
#18: Well, there's nothing that says you can't enjoy entertainment produced by assholes. Hell, I enjoy listening to Sinatra sometimes.
I almost never, ever think of someone's political beliefs when watching a movie or TV show.
ANyhow, regardless of ideology, let's hope that the next season of 24 makes up for last season, which was beyond awful. The first and fourth seasons were the most entertaining.
@9, yes, the poetics.
George Bush's idiotic lunacy prepared American minds for the arrival of a black president.
That all fits in well with a theory a friend of mine espouse: that the reason so many people were happy with the early years of the Bush presidency was because they were busy watching "West Wing" and thought -- on some level -- that Martin Sheen & Rob Lowe were the ones running the nation.

In 2011, a guy using the handle Cosbydaf wrote a story on the web about a Godzilla game he decided to revisit when he was a kid. It was a creepypasta—in other words, an internet tall tale intended to scare the hell out of anyone reading it.
It's rare for a video game to hang dong. Cobra Club, the newest game by developer Robert Yang, doesn't just feature dicks: the game is fundamentally about dicks, how they look, and the many ways people try to make them look good. (NSFW warning!)
The developers of StandPoint were surprised to wake up on Monday and discover their game was being sold for $1 on a flash deal site. They've tried to end their publishing contract for months, alleging they haven't been paid. Suddenly, that same company was apparently trying to cash-in.
Should a critic cease coverage of a game simply because a developer does not like them? According to one YouTuber, tensions between himself and a developer are pronounced enough to make any potential coverage that developer's game biased.

This far surpasses my expectations. Yuban's dark roast is fantastic. I have never tried the other roasts. It doesn't have a bitter taste like Folgers. I use it in my cappuccino machine. It also makes rich, dark espresso shots. Better than Starbucks coffee too!
Great shopping, shipping and delivery, so happy to have this service. Thank you.
LOVE this coffee. Would buy again if it wasn't out of stock online right now. Was very, very pleased with my purchase and delivery of this particular blend and brand. Please bring it back soon. Thank you!!
Best coffee out there. You can't find the large cans of Yuban in stores in my area and being able to find it and at a great price and fast reasonable shipping is why I use WalMart online.
It's rich smooth taste, delicious aroma and exceptional value far exceeds Starbucks, Seattle's Best and other 'boutique' coffees. A+ !!!
I love this rich blend only wish I could get it shipped to me as I'm disable and have a hard time getting to stores and local store sales for $5.00 MORE.

Bryan's Statement Accepting Democrats' 1900 Nomination
William Jennings Bryan's statement after learning of his nomination, in July 1900, to lead the Democratic ticket in that year's presidential election. He was not in Chicago for the convention but issued the statement from his home in Lincoln, Neb.
I am very much gratified to learn of the adoption of a platform which is clear and explicit on every question. The controversy over the silver plank was not a controversy between men who differed in principle but rather a difference of opinion as to the best method of stating the question. If we only had Democrats to deal with, a simple reaffirmation would have been sufficient, but we have to deal with Republicans as well as Democrats and some of the Republicans would misconstrue a reaffirmation and endeavor to twist it into an evasion or abandonment of the silver question.
Our appeal is to the patriotism and conscience of the people, and we must take them into our confidence if we expect them to have confidence in us.
Our platform deals honestly and fearlessly with every question before the public, and since we have nothing to explain, we can spend all of our time in assaults upon Republican policies. The industrial trusts have alarmed many who were not with us in our fight against the money trust in 1896. We shall not disappoint them; we shall not cease our efforts until every private monopoly is destroyed.
Imperialism appeals to many as the most dangerous of the evils now menacing our country. It involves not only a change in the head of the Government, but a return to the militarism of the Old World. No matter how men may differ as to the relative importance of the questions now before the country, every one must recognize that an economic evil can be corrected more easily than one which attacks the foundations of government. If we adhere to the principles that government is a thing made by the people for themselves, the people can in time remedy every wrong; but if that doctrine is once surrendered, the people are powerless to redress any grievance. The six and a half millions who supported the Chicago platform in 1896 stand like a solid wall against the trusts and against imperialism. If 10 per cent of those who by voting the Republican ticket brought the present dangers upon the country will join with us this Nation will once more become the champion of liberty and an inspiration to the oppressed everywhere.
