Readers: When I wrote this piece, all the news I'd received on Jennifer Fulwiler's condition had been encouraging.

In 1829, Paguierre Berliquet been included among the 5 great wines of appellation.
The classification of 1986 allowed Berliquet to regain the place it held among the great wines of St. Emilion. The year 1996 marks a turning point for Berliquet. With the support of Patrick Valette, Patrick De Lesquen and his team do their utmost to establish the reputation of Berliquet. View all Chateau Berliquet Wines
About St-EmilionView a map of St-Emilion wineries (saint eh-meel-YOHN)
A region named after the charming, quaint historical town in Bordeaux, St-Émilion is situated on the right bank of Bordeaux. It's grapes of choice are Merlot and Cabernet Franc (called Bouchet on the right bank). The region has its own classification system, updated and revised every few years. Two of the hottest chateaux of the area (and the only Premier Grand Cru Classé A) are Chateau Ausone and Chateau Cheval Blanc.
Notable Facts
St.-Émilion produces the most wine on the right bank of Bordeaux. As most of its wine is based primarily on Merlot, St-Emilion wines are described as having finesse and elegance. The best wine of the region can last upward of 10-20 years, like a good left-banker, but many find that the wines here matuer earlier than those based on Cabernet Sauvignon. The soils in the area differ greatly, from gravel to limestone to clay and sand. As a result, the wines of this region are diverse. Quality wines display silky tannins and ripe, soft fruit – the higher quality wine showing full-bodied texture and layers of complexity.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Enlighten me
Hi everyone,
I have been worried these past few weeks, because my mother in law always told me I have a very bad tummy shape. I am almost 9 months pregnant and my tummy looks like a ball and it doesn't look good they said. I am 23 years and my weight is 51 kilos already. I started from 42 and now I am 51 and this my 2nd baby. They always told me looks like I will deliver with a CS section because of the my tummy's shape. And I always sit on my computer for the whole day working online. I only walk when I needed to eat and to pee, I am so worried it's like I don't want to deliver this baby anymore it's too depressing

Hi Jopoys,
First of all I'd like to encourage you by saying that you can actually play a role in making your delivery easier and faster, and it doesn't have to do with how much or little you are exercising or how much weight you've put on or the shape of your tummy!
It is, of course, very beneficial to you and baby to get some exercise each day. I got exercise with my first baby because I was active with my job at that time. With my 2nd, 3rd and 4th pregnancies I was at home, so was only "chasing" the other children, but didn't have an actual exercise program.
With my last baby, I was 40 years old and wasn't ask active during that pregnancy as I had been with the others. My baby was laying on her side going into my last month of pregnancy, and I wanted her to rotate into a better position for the birth.
So I decided to get a 1 month membership at a local athletic club and I swam nearly every day. I enjoyed the water and it was very relaxing - plus I was getting exercise and helping baby to turn into a proper position all at the same time. I took my younger children with me, and that included my 3 year old.
One thing I'd encourage you to do is to sit forward on your chair when you are working. Also, try to sit forward on the couch and try to avoid leaning back / reclining when in bed. The more you recline the higher chance that baby will move into a posterior position which can slow labour and cause back pain during labour. I had posterior babies with 2 of my babies, and I was very careful to do exercises and sit forward with my last 2 babies because I didn't want them going posterior.
Another thing you can do is to drink red raspberry leaf tea at least 3 times a day now. You may find that it causes a lot of braxton hicks, but I found that the braxton hicks really worked to shorten my labour when I went into active labour. In fact I drank Red Raspberry Leaf Tea with my 4th baby and that was the fastest delivery of the previous 3. I then drank even more of it with my 5th baby (in the month prior to delivery) and that birth was even faster. I had water births with the last two babies and I only laboured in the tub for one hour (with the last one) before I was complete and fully dilated. Once I felt the urge to push, it only took two or three pushes, and she was out. Really fast.
Another thing that can help is getting a Chiropractic adjustment to help make sure your pelvis is open and your structure is aligned, which can make for better positioning of baby. When baby is positioned optimally on your cervix, the cervix will dilate faster and you will not only have a faster labour, but you will have much less chance of having to have a C-Section.
Have you asked your midwife or doctor what position the baby is in? My midwife could always tell what position my baby was in just by palpating my belly.
Also know that eating sugar, cookies, biscuits and crackers can put weight on the baby, so try to avoid these as much as possible now, until the baby arrives. Eat fresh fruit and vegetables, high quality animal protein, fish that is low in mercury content and nuts and seeds.
So you have a birth plan? Having a birth plan can also put your mind at ease and help you to feel excited about the birth because you will feel confident that your caregivers know just what you want. We can help you develop a birth plan if you'd like.
Once you think you're in labour, stay home as long as you possibly can so that you can eat and drink and rest in the comfort of your home. This will also reduce the chances of intervention and increase the chances of having a natural birth.
Here's a video of a homebirth. This mum makes it look really easy. From pushing to delivery to breastfeeding. What I love about this video is how quickly her last stage went. It's empowering!
Please post your thoughts.
Warm Regards,

I forgot to mention how labouring positions are really important in speeding up delivery. Here's a great article that discusses a variety of positions that can be used. Stand and deliver! Everything you need to know about birth positions.

Please do not let these people frighten you regarding the impending birth of your dear baby. There is nothing about labour that can be implied from the shape of a woman's belly, at least not from a lay person's perspective. Even when a midwife or OB palpitates for position, it is a learned skill and far more than just a glance or a simple pat.
You can and will have an excellent vaginal delivery. Remind yourself frequently over the next week that you are a powerful, in-control woman. You manage your own body and your body was made for delivering babies. I am a firm believer in positive thinking and I want you to put those negative notions out of your mind.
Now, you should never attempt to lose weight during pregnancy. However, when it comes to exercise, that is important at all points in life. I have four children myself and work full-time, one of my three jobs is a desk job so I spend a good deal of time planted on my rear. I can totally relate to how difficult it is to get up and get moving when you have so much other stuff on your plate and a sedentary lifestyle, but it can be done. Taking a ten or fifteen minute walk in the morning and evening with your toddler or partner is enough to help the baby obtain a better position, control blood sugar, and reduce blood pressure. It will also give you some time to connect with your family or meditate on your day.
Last, I am sure your belly is beautiful. Pregnancy is a wonderful, beautiful time by nature.
Best of Luck!

The yellow anaconda (Eunectes notaeus) belongs to the family of snakes, Boidae, which contains the world's largest snake species including pythons, boas and anacondas. The family Boidae is further divided into several subfamilies; anacondas belong to the subfamily Boinae. There are four species of anaconda in the genus Eunectes. Anacondas live in aquatic environments including swamps, marshes and brush covered banks of slow moving rivers and streams.
Yellow anacondas have a pattern of dark brown or black blotches, spots or streaks against a yellow or greenish-yellow background. Though the yellow anaconda is not as large as its more soberly colored relative, the common anaconda, it is a sizeable snake reaching an average length of 10 feet (3 m).
15-20 years in the wild and zoos
Yellow anacondas are constrictors that will generally lay and wait at the water's edge for unsuspecting prey to come along and drink. The prey is quickly grabbed and constricted and suffocated, or pulled under water to drown. Anacondas may also actively hunt on land.
The yellow anaconda like other members of the boa family is a relatively primitive snake retaining a vestigial pelvic girdle and hind limbs. The "limbs" are present as external spurs located on either side of the common excretory and reproductive tract. Spurs are larger in males and are used in courtship and mating to stimulate the female.
Woodland Park Zoo's yellow anacondas are located in the Tropical Rain Forest exhibit. As visitors enter the exhibit, they are immersed in a garden of tropical rain forest plants such as fan palms, bananas, cocoa, figs and hanging liana vines. The anacondas can be seen in the water or dangling from the riverbank, waiting for prey.
The effort to save endangered species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Please do not buy products made from wild animal parts. Contact your elected representatives and express your views about conservation of endangered species and wild habitats. To find out about ways you can support conservation programs at the zoo contact us at email@example.com. Learn other ways you can help conserve wildlife and the habitats they require for survival by visiting our How You Can Help page.
We do not recommend reptiles as pets for most people as they require very specialized diets and environments. We also receive hundreds of requests each year to take former pet iguanas, boas and other reptiles but we cannot accept these due to space, health and unknown backgrounds. If you need to find a reptile or amphibian a new home, we suggest you contact a local herpetological group in your area. In the Puget Sound region, it is the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society.
Here are only a few of the benefits they provide:-Reptiles help keep animal populations in balance. Reptiles consume many animals that humans consider as pests, including mice, rats and destructive species of insects. This helps to control disease and damage to crops.
-Snake venom is used in medical research and provides effective medicines to fight certain human diseases.

You are most likely not adding enough red icing color. It takes about 3/4 oz of icing color to dye 1 pound of rolled fondant red! In order to achieve a true, rich red color, keep adding icing color until you get the shade that you are looking for. Wilton makes a No-Taste Red Icing Color that works great because it doesn't impart flavor to your icings.

A new edition of the Russian Nobelist's collection of novellas, short stories, and prose poems Stories and Prose Poems collects twenty-two works of wide-ranging style and character from the Nobel Prize–winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, whose shorter pieces showcase the extraordinary mastery of language that places him among the greatest Russian prose writers of the twentieth century.
When the two superb stories "Matryona's House" and "An Incident at Krechetovka Station" were first published in Russia in 1963, the Moscow Literary Gazette, the mouthpiece of the Soviet literary establishment, wrote: "His talent is so individual and so striking that from now on nothing that comes from his pen can fail to excite the liveliest interest." The novella For the Good of the Cause and the short story "Zakhar-the-Pouch" in particular―both published in the Soviet Union before Solzhenitsyn's exile―fearlessly address the deadening stranglehold of Soviet bureaucracy and the scandalous neglect of Russia's cultural heritage.
But readers who best know Solzhenitsyn through his novels will be delighted to discover the astonishing group of sixteen "prose poems." In these works of varying lengths―some as short as an aphorism―Solzhenitsyn distills the joy and bitterness of Russia's fate into language of unrivaled lyrical purity.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was born in Russia in 1918, and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1970. Exiled in 1974, he returned to Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and died in Moscow in 2008.Language Notes:

The title of this piece has an asterisk because, unfortunately, we're not talking about progress on the Laffer Curve in the United States.
Instead, we're discussing today how lawmakers in other nations are beginning to recognize that it's absurdly inaccurate to predict the revenue impact of changes in tax rates without also trying to measure what happens to taxable income (if you want a short tutorial on the Laffer Curve, click here).
But I'm a firm believer that policies in other nations (for better or worse) are a very persuasive form of real-world evidence. Simply stated, if you're trying to convince a politician that a certain policy is worth pursuing, you'll have a much greater chance of success if you can point to tangible examples of how it has been successful.
That's why I cite Hong Kong and Singapore as examples of why free markets and small government are the best recipe for prosperity. It's also why I use nations such as New Zealand, Canada, and Estonia when arguing for a lower burden of government spending.
And it's why I'm quite encouraged that even the squishy Tory-Liberal coalition government in the United Kingdom has begun to acknowledge that the Laffer Curve should be part of the analysis when making major changes in taxation.
I don't know whether that's because they learned a lesson from the disastrous failure of Gordon Brown's class-warfare tax hike, or whether they feel they should do something good to compensate for bad tax policies they're pursuing in other areas, but I'm not going to quibble when politicians finally begin to move in the right direction.
The Wall Street Journal opines that this is a very worthwhile development.
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has cut Britain's corporate tax rate to 22% from 28% since taking office in 2010, with a further cut to 20% due in 2015. On paper, these tax cuts were predicted to "cost" Her Majesty's Treasury some £7.8 billion a year when fully phased in. But Mr. Osborne asked his department to figure out how much additional revenue would be generated by the higher investment, wages and productivity made possible by leaving that money in private hands.
By the way, I can't resist a bit of nit-picking at this point. The increases in investment, wages, and productivity all occur because the marginal corporate tax rate is reduced, not because more money is in private hands.
I'm all in favor of leaving more money in private hands, but you get more growth when you change relative prices to make productive behavior more rewarding. And this happens when you reduce the tax code's penalty on work compared to leisure and when you lower the tax on saving and investment compared to consumption.

WATCH: Justin Bieber gets attacked by fan onstage during Dubai concert
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber is proving that he's a pro, after a fan jumped on stage and attempted to grab him mid-performance in Dubai on Sunday. His rep tells E! that the star is doing "fine" following the incident.
The rep explained that one male fan managed to get past security and rush onstage while the Biebs was seated at the piano singing "Believe." Fan footage shows the fan crashing into the piano and knocking it over as security runs onstage to detain him. The site reports that Bieber carried on with the concert as if it didn't happen, although the piano was unusable for the rest of the night.
Overzealous fans wasn't the only drama surrounding Bieber's visit to Dubai. The star reportedly showed up two hours late at the same venue on Saturday night, according to local paper "Al Arabiya."

IF Jeter leaves the Yankees it'll be because Cashman held firm or another OWNER sees $$$ at the gate if Jeter has his name on that team's jersey. 2010 was a down year for him at the plate, but he hasn't been a good defender in years. He could OPS .900 again in 2011 though, and he'll put butts in seats.
I doubt at this stage in his career he cares who the manager is as long as he plays everyday and gets paid.
"There was like a softness to it, a glow to it. I felt... I felt warm."
-- Joseph Daniel Votto 7/10/2017
Maybe you're right, I just think Jeter would have a hard time with the heavy handed approach Larussa takes in managing the team given the managers he's accustomed to. Maybe I'm wrong on that.
Grape works as a soda. Sort of as a gum. I wonder why it doesn't work as a pie. Grape pie? There's no grape pie. - Larry David
I honestly think Jeter should retire. No joke. Go straight into management or, more specifically, the business end of things with the Yankees, which he's going to be great at. Keep that lifelong Yankees connection that will make you perpetually bankable. Retire as a legend before physical decline really hits hard. Retire as a lifelong shortstop. Avoid endless goodbye parades at the stadium which tarnish the mystique.
It'll never happen. But that's what I want. And I love Jeter.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
"Reality tells us there are no guarantees. Except that some day Jon Lester will be on that list of 100-game winners." - Peter Gammons
Fay makes an interesting point in his blog article here:
Jeter's situation a lot like Larkin's
Derek Jeter's situation with the Yankees is a lot like Barry Larkin's was with Reds in 2000.
The Reds, under pressure to keep him as a Red, signed him to 3-year, $27 million contract in July of that year.

Korean mythology
The world of Korean folklore and mythology is a diverse and fascinating one. It is filled with deities and semi-deities born from eggs, kings that descend directly from heaven to rule the people, and an affinity with nature that makes you feel as if the gods are all around you. This rich cultural heritage is the product of thousands of years of history and a unique geography that has made Korea the crossroads of Eastern Asia. For a deeper understanding of the myths and legends of this land, we must examine more closely this history and geography. Read more »

American Lyric Theater Announces National Expansion of Composer Librettist Development Program
Lawrence Edelson, Producing Artistic Director of American Lyric Theater, announced today the national expansion of the company's core initiative, The Composer Librettist Development Program (CLDP). Through the use of newly acquired HD teleconferencing technology, gifted emerging artists with an interest in writing for the opera stage will be able to participate in the CLDP, regardless of where they live in the country.
Founded in 2007 and recognized for artistic excellence by both the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, the CLDP is the only full-time professional mentorship initiative for operatic writers in the country. The CLDP is a tuition-free program that includes a core curriculum of classroom training and hands-on workshops with some of the country's leading working artists. The principal faculty for the 2013-2014 CLDP will include composer/librettist Mark Adamo, librettist Mark Campbell, composer Robert Beaser, dramaturg Cori Ellison, librettist Michael Korie, stage director Rhoda Levine, and composer Paul Moravec. Recent guest teachers and lecturers have included composers Kaija Saariaho, Ricky Ian Gordon, Nico Muhly, StewArt Wallace, Christopher Theofanidis, and John Musto, and librettists Stephen Karam, Donna DiNovelli, and Gene Scheer. The program is overseen by Mr. Edelson. Biographies of ALT's mentorship team and faculty may be found at:
Mr. Edelson stated, "To date, over 30 artists from the metropolitan New York City area have benefited from the intensive mentorship provided by American Lyric Theater's Composer Librettist Development Program. We are thrilled to announce the national expansion of this program, and to invite applications for the 2013-2014 program from composers and librettists from across the United States, who will be able to participate in the CLDP remotely through the use of HD video conferencing technology. The acquisition of this new, high speed, high-resolution technology will now enable ALT to invite artists from all over the country to participate in the CLDP and to collaborate with other artists, without geographic restriction."
Marc Scorca, President and CEO of OPERA America, commented on the program saying, "ALT's Composer Librettist Development Program has been an important contributing force to the flow of new American operas in recent years. The fact that ALT's exceptional program of training and support for composers and librettists will now be available to participants from across the country comes as very good news. Outstanding new works and strong new relationships among artists and producers have resulted from Edelson's visionary leadership of American Lyric Theater. I look forward to the expanded, national impact of this program."
Notable alumni of the CLDP include librettist Royce Vavrek (Dog Days with David T. Little; Song from the Uproar with Missy Mazzoli); librettist Tony Asaro and composer Christopher Cerrone (All Wounds Bleed at ALT, to be premiered by Tulsa Opera in March 2013); librettist Deborah Brevoort and composer Patrick Soluri (Embedded at ALT, to be featured as part of Fort Worth Opera's Frontiers showcase in May 2013); and composer Aleksandra Vrebablov (Mileva for the Serbian National Opera).
In addition to ongoing classes and workshops, composers and librettists in the program have the opportunity to take part in residency observerships at The Metropolitan Opera. Through this recently expanded partnership, ALT is able to provide artists the opportunity to explore the process of mounting fully staged operatic productions. ALT also provides opportunities for Resident Artists to meet opera company leaders from around the country so that they can showcase their work, and expand their professional network. Additional networking and membership resources are provided through ALT's partnership with OPERA America.
American Lyric Theater's 2013-2014 Composer Librettist Development Program will run from September 15, 2013 to June 18, 2014. All artists accepted into the program will be required to be in New York City for two weeks during the program (September 15-22, 2013 and June 11-18, 2014). For those artists who do not live in the metropolitan New York City area, ALT will provide transportation and housing. Artists will be able to fully participate in the remainder of the program (over 70 classes and workshops) either in person or remotely.
Applications for the 2013-2014 CLDP will be open February 1 to April 1, 2013. Complete details for how to apply to the CLDP may be found at:

I was diagnosed 5 months ago and I'm not coping well. My family insults me and refuses to educate themselves on my condition (they assume it's "common sense" and they already know). So, I've found that it helps to cope with pills and alcohol, cutting, journaling, etc... What are some ways you cope when you have no one in person to talk to and are constantly insulted and let down by people who claim to care about you?
Re: How Do You Cope?
Why exactly do you feel insulted and put down?
Re: How Do You Cope?
when i was first diagnosed in 2008, I was told by my neurologist that I was not to drive, etc.. all the safety precautions. My state requires only that you voluntarily turn in your license and/or withhold driving UNLESS a physician does deem you to dangerous and files a legal petition. Otherwise, the physician is only to warn and advise. The first, second, and third Neurologist has warned (all residents in a teaching hospital).
"the family" decided that this was too much of an inconvenience, a burden, an obligation on them. So, the 3 family members I have that I would have to rely upon - primarily - to assist... all said to me "you can drive. Just get in your car and go anywhere you want to go. You must work, you have no choice, we are not going to tote you back and forth everyday and we are not going to assist you. So, you are going to have to keep working and you will continue to drive everywhere you need to go because we will not be obligated to try and figure, or assist you, everyday to get back and forth. If you "feel" one of your "spells" coming on, while driving, you immediately stop or immediately pull over and stop, even if you are in the middle of traffic, you stop or pull over, do you hear?"
You know what? Only on 3 occasions for which I had a seizure while working, did they come to pick me up and take me home because my employer refused to allow me to drive myself home.
They used to not believe that I had seizures because for the most part, no one "sees" them. It's just me and my teenage daughter. She has seen many of them, or have caught me at the end of them. The rest of the family has not. My previous employer (was laid off in January, partly due to the seizures) witnessed 3 in 1 year.
It wasn't until my previous employer had the ambulance called with 1 seizure, and my elderly Dad actually witness 1 himself... that anyone, outside my daughter, believed me. Course, that doesn't urge them to assist. However, I do tend to "ride" more when we all go out and luckily my daughter now has her driver's permit, so she does most of the driving. Yet, for the last 3-4 years....
Long rambling but, your reply/post sparked something and well.. I wanted you to know that you aren't alone in this... you really are not.
Re: How Do You Cope?
I feel the same way sometimes . I think that if people would just see me have a really bad one , it would change the way they all seem to not care. Anyway, don't let that stop you from being happy . Do everything that is in your power , I will too . Lately I have been letting myself gain weight but today I will make it day one and begin to treat myself better . Having had seizures makes people around me not respect me much and think that I'm weird . I do have an elliptical and a treadmill so I will exercise today and eat healthy - I can't change a lot of things in my life - however, I can and will get my butt in gear today . I hope that you do the same - Believe me, I know how much it sucks to have seizures , just hang in there please . Do today the best you can and I will too
Re: How Do You Cope?
I live in California and they have taken my driver's license away . I don't have family or friends nearby to help me. So, I'm force to drive even though I don't want to. I live in a rural area where there are practically no buses and the closest grocery store is 5 miles away . I usually have one seizure a day and after it passes I will get in my car and go do the things that I need to do really quick . I would like to see more support from friends and family but is not there. I feel very alone and sometimes I do get angry when I see my children helping others and not me . My husband works long hours and is almost no support either . Lately things have been getting very sad for me . My oldest son lives and works far away , my middle son won't mind me and part of it is because I'm weak . What I go through on a daily basis makes me pathetic and stupid in his eyes. So, there is no respect for me . My daughter is 15 and the one that helps me the most. She is kind and helpful , however I don't want to put all of my problems on her, I just want to get well , be independent, be happy for a change. I have no friends because my attitude has gotten to be one that is very depressed. I'm a depressing person to be around. Is hard for me to see the bright side of my life . Anyway, all of that to say this: hang in there, don't give up. One day we all might just get up and no more seizures , it could be today the day . And also know that you are not the only one
Re: How Do You Cope?
What are you having difficulties with? Forgetfulness? Tiredness? Feeling different than other people, as in "lesser than"?Dealing with limitations?
Re: How Do You Cope?
Rosann, You are in a very painfully difficult position. Have you ever checked out the Epilepsy Foundation (EFA) website? (www.epilepsyfaopundation.org). It contains a lot of basic info on epilepsy as well as provides advice. This can help you educate your family. Good luck,
Re: How Do You Cope?
Here is a link to a really good book on TLE:
When I read this book I learned a lot. And I didn't feel as alone because things that happened to me started to make sense. It brings a little relief knowing that you are not the only one experiencing these things.
Re: How Do You Cope?
I started to have seizures only when I am sleeping 2 yrs. ago. I was taken to the hospital, had all the usual tests, EEG, MRI, CT scan, all came back normal, had blood drawn, and was given Dilantin 100 mg 3xaday. No dr.s have really told me what type of seiz. I have or why I am having them.
I did my own research on the Net, and came to the conclusion that I have Nocturnal Seizure Disorder. It is a type of grand mal seiz. that only happens when the person is asleep. I have all the usual symptoms of grand mal, my face and lips are blue and I stop breathing (I have been told this by my boyfriend who has seen me have seiz. in my sleep), I have tongue bitten, peed pants, weak legs, pounding headache and extreme nausea. I might also have another type of seiz. called Abdominal Epilepsy. Because months before I had my first seiz. I had stomach like flus at least 5-10 times a month. I would have a nauseated stomach, but I would be hungry still, eat and then throw up later. Dr.s don't really think Abdominal Epil. exists cuz it mostly affects children, and they don't always have all the symptoms of epil.
Right now I am not taking any meds. After taking my seiz. meds for 2 yrs. I have noticed that my memory was getting bad. I found out that seiz. meds cause memory loss and I refuse to take them anymore. I don't want to lose my memory any more than I have. So far I have had 2 seiz. since I have gotten off my meds. To date I have had 15 seiz. since 2 yrs. ago. It may be wrong for me to get off my meds. but I would rather suffer with seiz. than lose my memory.
I just wanted to tell all you people who have no support from family and friends, that you are not alone. Don't ever give up and think you are less than somebody else just because you have seiz. Make your family understand what you are going through and make them understand you do have seiz. Keep on insisting it and have your dr. call them and talk to them.
They have to learn about epil. and seiz. so they know what to do for you if they ever witness you having one. Knowledge is power. Keep on fighting for yourself and never give up.
Good luck to all and peace to all.

OMG We LOVE These! 'Cellfolios' by Jamie James
Have you ever wished for a magical device that would organize your IDs, credit cards, and smartphone for you? Jamie James' Cellfolios can do just that! Meet the designer here!
-Lucia Peters
The Madison Cellfolio in plum and silver. Sexy! Want it? Get it here!
Bettys, if you're anything like us, you're constantly on the go—and as a result, you're usually trying to juggle your cell phone, your wallet, your purse, your Metrocard, and a zillion other things, all at the same time. Quelle nightmare!
But that's where Jamie James comes in. Jamie knows where you're coming from—and we have to tell you, when we discovered her line of unique wallet/smartphone case hybrids, we were all over them! Dubbed "Cellfolios," these super stylish and amazingly functional creations are perfect for the girl (or guy) on the go. Check out the entire Jamie James Collection in BettyConfidential Shop's exclusive flash sale!
So how exactly did a busy mom and lawyer end up in the design world? We sat down with Jamie to chat about just that! Read on to find out how she created her company, where she finds her inspiration, what her favorite smartphone app is, and more!
BettyConfidential: How did you become a designer?
Jamie James: As both a lawyer of twenty years and a mother of four kids, I always found myself juggling several accessories—including my wallet, purse and cell phone. As I watched my eldest daughter, Kaitlyn, carry her ID and credit cards inside a regular jelly case secured for her smartphone, I recognized a need—a need which could be filled by the Cellfolio! I chose the name "Cellfolio" because it combines a cell phone case with a portfolio of all the necessities of your wallet, such as ID, credit cards, room for some cash, and even a place to attach your keys.
Snag one for yourself at BettyConfidential Shop!
BC: What do your designs mean to you?
JJ: My designs truly embody my personal style and spirit. Utility and sophistication are the hallmarks.
BC: Do you have a favorite Cellfolio design?
JJ: My favorite Cellfolio would definitely have to be the Princeton. As a lawyer, I am always having to show my ID to enter various courthouses and the Princeton allows me to flash my ID in style!
BC: Favorite smartphone?
JJ: The Blackberry! (But Cellfolios work with many different shapes and sizes of cell phones, though, including the iPhone!)

By Melanie Ayotte, Boomerang Staff Writer
The couple had everything in place that the experts say should be done: The medical power of attorney, end-of-life instructions, their wills and instructions on whether to be cremated or buried and where, and more. What they hadn't discussed was what would actually happen at the funeral or memorial itself.
Last winter, Bob, a very dear friend, passed away at his winter home. His wife telephoned my husband Steve and asked if he would be part of the memorial service. She described what she would like Steve to do at the service. After hanging up, Steve told me that the Bob he knew never would have wanted what she was asking for. While Bob and my husband had talked about Bob's funeral and what he wanted on several occasions, Bob unfortunately had failed to convey his wishes to his wife.
Funerals are a time-honored part of the grieving process, but increasingly, folks are using funerals to celebrate their loved one's life as much or more than marking his passing. Have you ever left a service and said to someone, "Please don't do that at my funeral"? Or maybe you've attended a service that seemed so perfectly tailored to the deceased's personality and said, "That's the kind of funeral I want." Until recently, a "personalized" funeral meant you picked your pall-bearers and asked for donations instead of flowers. Today, funerals often are very personal affairs that reflect the uniqueness of the individual.
Here are a few ways boomers are personalizing their funerals to allow friends not only to mourn their passing, but also to share their life and loves one last time:
Making your final farewell wishes known in advance means that your friends and family will be able to focus on their memories of you instead of on details of your service.

text: Lindsay Lohan was not Tina Fey's first choice to star in Mean Girls and Tina is not a fan of Lindsay at all. When news broke this week that Tina was planning a Mean Girls reunion the story was that Lindsay ran into Tina Fey and Tina told Lindsay about the reunion. That is not exactly what happened. Apparently another cast member from the movie told someone on Jimmy Fallon's staff who then confirmed it with Tina Fey and Tina and Lindsay had a phone call because Tina was cornered and had no choice. Tina hates that the movie is always associated with Lindsay Lohan like Lindsay was the only actress in the movie. Lindsay's fans always point to the movie as an example of great acting by Lindsay. No, it was great writing and she got to play herself and wasn't whacked out on drugs 24/7 and thinking highly of herself. Justin Timberlake looks great on SNL and doing skits with Fallon but he is not a good actor. There are good fits. Bill Cosby is a great stand up comedian and great on television. If you put him in a movie he is going to be awful unless it is with Sydney Poitier and Sydney could make Verne Troyer look like an Academy Award winning actor. Lindsay Lohan was an ok actress. Tina hates that when the movie is mentioned that Lindsay's name comes first and planned a reunion that would have shown off the best parts of the cast not named Lindsay.

Sound Cards item created by , May 5, 2010
Pros - Great output sound from either line-out or Head-out
Cons - Zeeeero
I didn't realize when I bought this card how much better it would be than any of the past cards I had (mostly Creative). The S/N is great, especially for recording.
The sound from this card suits my tastes more than the sound from my DAC1-Pre.
It's simple, not a lot of bells and whistles. It seems to be geared to the audiophile, and I appreciate that.
No regrets, only joy.
Pros - Excellent SQ, upgadable opamps, versatile headphone out
Cons - The drivers don't do justice to the quality of this product.
its been over an year since I got this sound card & I have never regretted the decision. It has played game with everything I have thrown at it- D1001, HD580, DT880 600 ohm & even my orthos. The DAC section is superior to my Marantz AVR & so is the headphone out.
Tough to believe you can get something better for the price.
Pros - Very good for the price, easily upgradeable sound, runs on power directly from PSU
Cons - Has problems with low impedance phones, a bit tricky mounting discreet Op-Amps
Note: I'm from Sweden so if the wording or sentence structure is a bit off, I blame the Swedish educational system!!
The ASUS Xonar Essence STX is a two channel soundcard with a built in amplifier and it is a great entry into hi-fi and head-fi, it has a good set of features and handles most games very well, at least with the newer drivers. The card has a good DAC-chip that leads into two I/V stage Op-Amps and then on to either the headphone amplifier chip, called a Hi-Z amplifier, or to the buffer stage Op-Amp. There is also a decent mic/line in for recording. The card takes its power directly from the PSU and therefore gets a very clean and strong power supply, at least if the PSU is good. The software has pretty good features and the interface is pretty self-explanatory for the most part.
After getting this card I started reading the already massive thread started by ROBSCIX on this site, and soon enough I wanted to try to see what this card really could do. The sound with original chip Op-Amps was somewhat on the warm side and lacks a little something in detail but it is a good sound non the less. After reading 70+ pages of the gargantuan thread I came to the decision that the greatest improvement would come from upgrading to discreet Op-Amps from Audio-GD. After consulting some reviews and exchanging a few PMs with ROBSCIX I decided on OPA Earth for I/V and OPA Sun for buffer. This improved the sound through my loudspeakers with better positioning, better bass quality and clearer transients. The sound through the headphone-out became slightly more neutral, and the level of detail improved but not to the same extent as through the line-out.
The Headphone Amp
I do not have much experience with headphones, and my purchase of the K701s was a bit poorly researched, I just read some very positive reviews and comparisons but I failed to realize that it needs a good amp to sound as it should. Now I've never heard the from anything other than my amplifiers head-out and through the STX, and in that comparison the sound-card wins hands down. From what I've read about the K701 my impressions with the STX as source echoes what most people say: big soundstage, crystal clear highs, great midrange and weak bass on some types of music, especially rock/pop. The volume level is no problem achieving, with Replay-Gain on in Foobar, regular listening volume is at 60% on the low gain setting.
I've tried some of my other headphones through the head-out on the front of my computer, and it is very difficult to use IEMs such as my JVC-FX500 as the volume has to be set to 2-4% and at that level the cable leading from the soundcard to the front picks up some interference from hard drives and fans. Amping my vintage 600 ohm AKG K140 is no problem at all, the soundcard drives them loud and clear on medium gain.
This is a very good DAC and a pretty good entry-level headphone amplifier that costs as much as either would if they were external. The fact that it is from a big company such as ASUS means that the cost is cut by their ability to buy in bulk.
I can certainly recommend this card as a great entry to the world of hi-fi if you are using the line out from your stationary computer or when building a new one. The possibility to tinker with Op-Amps should also interest those who can't leave well enough alone...
Pros - Excellent built quality, sound, and clarity
Cons - Hard to find

I have updated easy-creds to run on BT5. Mostly path changes, installation of hamster/ferret & dhchp3-server. It's all in the readme file.
In addition I fixed the IP assignments for FakeAP. Yes, I *really* fixed it this time. Who knew you couldn't have a dhcp config file outside of /etc? I didn't and finally saw the permission denied when trying to run it. Set it to 777, didn't work so I just have the script write a dhcp-ec.conf file in the proper folder and everything is good.
Happy hunting,

The Mount Saint Mary College Institutional Review Board (IRB) is
seeking nominations for the position of "Community Member" to serve
on the committee for the 2014-2015 academic year. The term of
service can be extended through June 2017. The deadline for
nominations is August 25, 2014.
The Mount's IRB is described as follows:
In the realm of human subject research, Mount Saint Mary
College has always expected faculty and students to observe good
professional and ethical practice. In adopting this written policy
statement for human subject research, the Institutional Review
Board (IRB) of Mount Saint Mary College is formalizing its
longstanding expectations and practices to conform with
contemporary norms throughout higher education, and the public as
well as private research community.
In general, the purposes of IRBs are: (1) to review initial
research proposals to ensure that the researchers' plans provide
subjects with adequate opportunity to provide informed consent for
procedures and (2) to ensure that subjects are not exposed to
unreasonable risks. IRBs also conduct continuing review of approved
long term projects to make certain that subject protections remain
in place. These purposes also support Mount Saint Mary College's
mission values and curricular goals.
An IRB community member is a volunteer from outside the
organization or institution who serves on the Institutional Review
Board. The community member is usually non-scientific and is not
affiliated with the institution. Community members come from a
variety of backgrounds and are chosen for particular experience,
knowledge, or relationship to the types of studies reviewed by the

institution resides. Former research subjects, patient advocates,
teachers, nurses, members of vulnerable populations, retirees or
experts in multicultural affairs may be sought for IRB service.
Some important notes:
• The community member may not be affiliated with the college or
related to college personnel.
• Attendance at monthly committee meetings is required.
• A mutually agreeable meeting time will be arranged.
• Community members must complete free online training in the
protection of human subjects provided by the National Institutes of
Health (NIH).
Please send the names and contact information for local
community members who might be able to serve in this capacity to
Frances R. Spielhagen, Chair of the IRB, 2014-2015, Mount Saint
Mary College, 330 Powell Avenue, Newburgh, New York 12550 (email@example.com).

Technology Advancement Student Committee (TASC)
The formation of TASC took place in 1997 when Dr. Robert Hebert, McNeese State University president, formed a technology task force to review the technology needs that faced the McNeese campus. These findings were assembled into a report and presented to then Student Government President Vera LeBrun and then Student Government Treasurer Anthony Eaves. They in turn presented it to the Student Government Association Senate in the fall of 1997. The SGA Senate then formed a seven member Student Technology Committee composed of mostly students and some faculty.
The newly formed Student Technology Committee formulated an additional proposal which they in turn presented to Dr. Hebert and his committee.
The final results are evident today!

Introduction - A Grandmother's Assistance
9 May 2009 — Libertyville, IL
I took the uploaded photographs of my grandparents' grave and the outside of the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Monastery Church on 9 May 2009. I hadn't been back to the cemetery since my grandmother died in 1981. But I'm working on a novel that in part draws from my Serbian heritage on my mother's side of the family, and I thought a visit to the St. Sava Serbian Monastery and cemetery would provide some inspiration for the story.
I had a vague recollection of where the plot was located, and I was absolutely sure the marker was in the Latin alphabet, not Cyrillic. I couldn't find the grave as I walked the rows and so I did what so many genealogists do -- I started asking my grandparents for help (internally -- not out loud!).
My gaze fell on a stone, and I saw the name 'Aneta' -- but since it wasn't in the Latin alphabet, I thought it was the wrong stone, and I kept on walking. My 4-foot 11-inch grandmother must have wanted to kick the backside of my 5-foot 6-inches right then and there.
A few minutes later I called my mother to ask for her help, and she told me the marker was in Cyrillic. DOH! So much for surprising her when I got home by showing her the photos.
Finally knowing that, I did manage to find the grave again.
So I wanted to take the time to thank my grandmother publicly for her help, both in finding the grave and in providing inspiration and ideas for the book.
By the way, I wasn't completely wrong about the use of the Latin alphabet on the grave. The marker for my grandfather's World War I service is in English. That must be what I had remembered.

What the **** is wrong with this judge...
2 words for the judge... old man... with his dumb phone... seriously, anyone who own an iphone/ipad and own/seen other android phone/tablaet, like htc and moto, clearly can tell at the 1st glance that samsung did copy 99% of apple inside out, both software & hardware.
IF there is enough leeway, then there is as has been already suggested, nothing to stop Apple running an ad along the lines of;
It's Official, (See ruling by justice Colin Birss), the Samsung Galaxy Drab isn't as cool as the iPad, which proves they must have copied somebody else instead.
BTW, in cases like these the petitioning party usually had to post a bond to cover potential losses of the other party if the ban is over-turned. If Samsung does win then Apple will have to pay them for losses incurred.
Apple is an American Company. So why in the world would they have to listen to a U.K. judge? Or is he just talking about in the U.K.? Apple could just refuse to sell their products there and everybody would end up hating the judge.
Also to me is is incredibly obvious that Samsung copies Apple at every turn. This isn't the first time they have come out with a product that looks suspiciously similar to something Apple has made.
Apple is an entity. Not a human being. So why is everyone saying that "they" think "they" invented everything? And even if "they" were, "they" don't believe "they" invented everything. "they" are simply defending their ideas. Back in 2007, HTC, Samsung, Motorola and Google didn't have anything like the iPhone. Why? Because Apple did in fact invent most everything about it. And many of its features. So, in reality, many things created by said companies are a copy of Apples products, and Apple, being the massive company "they" are, are defending the ideas that "they" came up with. Wouldn't you?
Raduga, ur an idiot. Why would u copy and paste an article that is right there. We really need u to fill up our screens with the article that is already there
It's America and the legal system there is corrupt. Apple would've just paid off the judge to get that ruling.
The only thing that is similar between the Galaxy Tab and the iPad is they are both tablets. You can see the difference a mile away.
Apple are just jealous that the GTab is a better tablet and instead of making the iPad better they get court orders to stop the GTab from selling.
All this proves is Apple have more money than sense and people should STOP buying their devices.
I have both, the new iPad and a Galaxy Tab and I prefer the GTab as it is a better tablet. The problem is the apps, they are better in Apple devices. When the devs update the android apps then that will change.
Judge most likely ordered the ads because Apple was saying Samsung copied their device in their own ads, a judge does not order something like this out of the blue.
to Hitman10: There is plenty of former owners of devices that come to this site, or they get to play with them at places like Best Buy. And if your read carefully you would see he said G Tab is better not iPhone/iPad suck. Plenty of people buying the Cabbage Patch Kids in the 80's, the thing sucked yet they had problem keeping them in stock. Less confusion if you had better reading comprehension.
Like to see them try and then get heavily fined by the same judge for not following his orders to the letterI imagine Apple find a way to wiggle out of that one, if not produce ads that take subversive shots at Samsung while meeting the courts requirements.
UK judges take a very dim view of companies not following their orders.
So they reinvented the square and patented the rectangle.
If I had the money I would buy one anyway. Just to p*** off crapple.

Liberty Property Trust recently purchased three Class A buildings for its Arizona portfolio: a flex building in Phoenix and two industrial buildings in Tolleson.
"By the close of 2011, our portfolio was nearly 100% leased," said John DiVall, senior vice president and city manager for Liberty Property Trust's Arizona region. "We had a number of inquiries from companies – including many in our current portfolio – seeking larger amounts of industrial and flex space, and we anticipate that the acquisition of these properties will be met with enthusiasm in the marketplace.
"Additionally, these acquisitions are consistent with our local strategy of adding well-located assets, at below replacement cost, to our region's portfolio," DiVall added.
Liberty Property Trust purchased an empty flex building at 9801 S. 51st St. in Phoenix from GE Capital last month at an investment of approximately $4.3M. The property is a 71,550 SF state-of-the- art call center located just a half-mile from the Interstate 10 freeway at Elliott Road.
On the same day that Liberty Property Trust purchased the building, the company also signed UPS to a new lease for 29,181 SF of space. This brought occupancy to 41%. UPS has been a Liberty tenant in several regions across the country over the years.
Liberty Property Trust was represented by Karsten Peterson of Cushman Wakefield. The tenant was represented by Steve Corney of Jones Lang LaSalle of Phoenix.
At Ancona Tolleson Center in Tolleson, Liberty Property Trust purchased two industrial buildings from E&V Investments for approximately $17M. The first is a 219,225 SF facility located at 8591 W. Washington St. (above photo) that is 39% occupied. The second, a 184,096 SF building located at 8601 W. Washington St., is 74% occupied.
In this deal, Liberty Property Trust was represented by Mark Hertzberg of Jones Lang LaSalle and the seller was represented by Bob Beardsley of Southwest Commercial Brokerage.
At the close of 2011, Liberty Property Trust also purchased a 46,725 SF industrial flex building at 921 S. Park Lane in Tempe from Hohokam Park, LLC for approximately $2.7M. The property, which was fully occupied at purchase, is now available for lease. Bill Bayless and Andrew Brigham of CBRE represented the seller and have been retained by Liberty Property Trust to lease the building.
Liberty Property Trust owns 1.7 MSF of industrial and office space in Arizona. Major holdings include Cotton Center in Phoenix, Liberty 303 Business Park in Goodyear, the LEED Gold 8501 E. Raintree Dr. in Scottsdale and Ryan West Business Park in Tolleson.

description: The anglerfish uses a shiny lure to bring prey within range of its sharp teeth. But it also has a weirdly clingy side - after finding a female, the male black devil angler latches on and never lets go!

title: World's Weirdest: Weird Killer of the Deep

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
It lives in total darkness at depths of up to a mile below sea level, in what has been referred to as "the midnight zone."
Down here, don't be afraid of the dark, be afraid of the light.
The light is a lure, wielded by our champion of the weird-the deep-sea anglerfish.
The lure is created by bioluminescent bacteria that live inside the angler. It drifts through the water, flashing its beacon. Waiting for something to take the bait.
This squid thinks it's found an easy meal. A fatal mistake.
The squid was smaller than the angler, but had it been bigger, the anglerfish is prepared.
This far down, meals are few and far between.
So to make the most of every opportunity, this anglerfish has evolved a distending jaw and expandable stomach.
Want more weird? We have it.
This is a blackdevil angler. A female, to be precise.
She is after this fish. It's not a meal, it's her mate. This is the male blackdevil angler.
A specialized scent organ locks in on the ladies.
If it's difficult to find food this deep, it's even more difficult to find a girlfriend.
Deep-sea anglerfish solve the problem by having extremely clingy relationships and never letting go. Ever.
The male bites into her belly.
His body releases an enzyme. That dissolves the skin under the bite and fuses his mouth to her body.
Then the two become one. He will draw sustenance from her for the rest of his life.
In return, the female has a ready supply of sperm for whenever she is ready to mate.
Thank you, deep-sea anglerfish, for bringing so much weirdness into our lives.
