Build those muscles with our bands and great nutrition!
Keeping in top form is important all year round, but the start of a New Year gives you an even better reason to try and improve the way that you exercise and eat. Trying to steer clear of those foods and drinks that you know are doing you no good can be really difficult after the Christmas and New Year's holiday, but we are almost a month into 2013 so now is the time to start trying if you have not already!
Know What You Need
Breaking old eating habits is one of the first things you have to deal with, but once you know exactly what you have to give your body to achieve the results you want it is not so hard. Supplying your body with the right type of fuel for your usual workout will mean you can exercise longer and harder. Whether you want a cardio workout, or want to build lean muscle, will determine what the best types of food to eat are.
We've broken the article up into 2 parts, the first is on fueling for Muscle Building and the second, which will be released in a few days, will be on eating for Cardio.
Power Up for Muscle Building
Building muscles requires protein, because muscle tissue needs to be repaired after being pushed to the max. If you intend to work your muscles hard, you need to supply them with the protein they need. If you plan to work out a couple of hours after you wake up, a good option is to drink a breakfast whey shake to provide your muscles with the protein it will need. You need to combine this with carbohydrates as well, so things like whole grains and fruits can combine well for a nutritious breakfast. These Low Glycemic Index carbohydrates release their sugar into the body's bloodstream at a slow steady rate, which is perfect for strength training. A good balance of protein and carbohydrates is around 25% protein to 75% carbohydrates, however the specific amount of protein you need depends on your weight, gender, plus the intensity and length of your workout.
Muscle Building Foods
Before you work out, start the day with a breakfast that includes lots of protein. An egg white and spinach omelette with some whole grain toast is perfect. If you prefer fruit in the morning, try natural Greek yogurt with apple, banana, walnuts and honey. When it comes to a glass of milk with your breakfast, make sure you go for soy or skimmed milk, not full fat whole milk.
When it comes to a post-workout meal, choose something that contains as many whole foods as possible, as these offer the best all round nutrition. Oily white fish, white poultry meat, and eggs provide excellent sources of protein with very little fat. In fact, in addition to high quality protein, eggs also contain almost every mineral and vitamin essential for your body's healthy nutrition. A tasty salad to try which contains both carbohydrates and protein is tomato and avocado stuffed with cottage cheese.

Novel carbon nanotube thermal interfaces for microelectronics
Nagarathnam, Premkumar
MetadataShow full item record
The thermal interface layer can be a limiting element in the cooling of microelectronic devices. Conventional solders, pastes and pads are no longer sufficient to handle the high heat fluxes associated with connecting the device to the sink. Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) have been proposed as a possible thermal interface material(TI M), due to their thermal and mechanical properties, and prior research has established the effectiveness of vertically arranged CNT arrays to match the capabilities of the best conventional TIMs. However, to reach commercial applicability, many improvements need to be made in terms of improving thermal and mechanical properties as well as cost and manufacturing ease of the layer. Prior work demonstrated a simple method to transfer and bond CNT arrays through the use of a nanometer thin layer of gold as a bonding layer. This study sought to improve on that technique. By controlling the rate of deposition, the bonding temperature was reduced. By using different metals and thinner layers, the potential cost of the technique was reduced. Through the creation of a patterned array, a phase change element was able to be incorporated into the technique. The various interfaces created are characterized mechanically and thermally.

SpiceWorks scans the network and picks up about 30 machines, it then sorts them into the correct categories but says it had an authentication error and couldn't get all the information. I then tell it to use my account and the test passes, it then goes on to "fix" the other machines, but yet it doesnt save the information and goes back to saying it had an authentication Error. Any idea how to fix this ? Any help would be most appreciated.

Sounds like you are having some issue with WMI.
A good idea is to work though this set of instructions and see where things fail.

i have tried all of the above and nothing came back negative. It can find the Computer and identify what it is, it can then grab the information, but after the scan completes it does not save the information and goes back to saying that there was an authentication error when infact, theyre isnt.

In that case make sure your DNS is all cleaned up and pretty. Check your ptr records specifically.

The Gaslight Anthem
American Slang
The Gaslight Anthem first hit my eardrums in 2007. "Where have these guys been all my life?" I thought, listening to first single "Drive" stream on YouTube with a single manly tear in my eye. A perfect, spine-tingling blend of open-heart-surgery folk soul and blood-on-its-sleeves, gung-ho punk rock. Then in 2008, four track EP Señor and the Queen confirmed it: this band's for life!
Then something strange happened. Later in 2008, The Gaslight Anthem signed with indie label SideOneDummy and released second full length The '59 Sound. Straight away, the change was obvious. The Gaslight Anthem had crammed 10 years worth of album polishing into two. It was only their second full-length but already it sounded more like their eighth. Kerrang Magazine put them on the cover, calling them the "best new band you'll hear in 2008."
Track one and two stuck with me, then I went straight back to Sink Or Swim. The '59 Sound didn't even come close. The Gaslight Anthem had removed all traces of their punk rock roots, embellishing their Americana, Bruce Springsteen, easy-listening sound instead. Nothing wrong with that, the songs just lost that original spark that set my heart on fire first time around. They became "ordinary." So I didn't expect much from American Slang. After all, once you're in there's no going back, is there?
Predictably, American Slang passes without ever really making an impact. Everything sounds correct and well-arranged but nothing reaches in and grabs your soul. It's just polite, ordinary, safe background music to hum along to.
As soon as it does get interesting, a thick layer of polished lacquer sucks the soul right out of it. Like on "Bring It On," Brian Fallon sings "For the Romeos of town," and for a second, I felt the power of Señor and the Queen. Then there's a bongo drum sample that ruins everything. Just like Fallon's ridiculous over-singing at the end of "The Diamond Church Street Choir." Who does he think he is, Christina Aguilera?
It's weird, Señor and the Queen was a slower, less punk, more folk release as well, but there's nothing middle of the road about it - it's just not slick enough. Somehow, The '59 Sound and American Slang both miss the mark. I can't explain it. They're not band albums, they both just sound like they were recorded by muggles - they're a bit cheesier, aren't they? Still, I bet they sound awesome live.

"Loved how quick this was to make. I added 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. Also used soymilk with apple cider vinegar in place of the buttermilk and eliminated the nuts. It was delicious warm with butter or toasted with peanut butter. My picky two year old loved it."

Comments about Spirit Clear Fuman Chu Glasses:
the desriptipon, title and picture says they are clear but I received them with pink lenses. I was able to make these work for my use but could be quite useless for other uses or costumes. there should be a more obvious discretion that other colors could be sent out and not discribe them as clear or any certain color if it is not guaranteed that a certain color will be sent.

Campaign for Liberty Chairman John Tate cosigned a letter opposing Senate legislation that would get rid of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac....and replace them with a new federal housing agency! This legislation would also create a new "housing trust" fund. This fund would not only further involve government in the housing market but would also serve a "slush fund" for "community groups" to agitate for bigger spending on housing and other welfare state programs.
The fact that this legislation is even been considered shows that many in Washington have failed to learn the lessons of the 2008 bursting of the housing bubble.
This legislation was scheduled to be marked-up today, but it has been "postponed." Campaign for Liberty members may want to call the members of the Senate Banking Committee and let them no they oppose creating new housing programs.

Drug Use and Cultural Contexts 'Beyond the West'
Edited by: Ross Coomber, Nigel South
Considerable research, policy and media attention has focused recently on drug use in Britain, wider Europe, the US and other advanced "western" societies such as Australia and Canada. However, the place of drugs in other cultural contexts has received far less attention. Little is known about the use of drugs in non-western societies and this lack of comparative knowledge hinders a broader understanding of drug use, the way problems are attached to it and the nature of inappropriately applied social and regulatory policies. This book examines drug use (including alcohol) in different cultural contexts, showing how the claim of tradition can persist even while the impetus toward change is pervasive. In some cases, change is strongly resisted; in others its effects are profound and potentially highly destructive. In a world of globalization, western investment and leisure tourism can combine with the profiteering of international drug trafficking to transform traditional patterns of intoxicant use; in a world of post-colonialism, the legacies of past impositions are still causing tragedies; and in a world of western-led drug control policies, unproblematic cultural incorporation of drug use into everyday life and sacred ritual is threatened by remote and ill-informed politicians and bureaucracies. This book will be of interest to academics, students and receptive policy audiences interested in understanding drugs and the issues raised by their use in unfamiliar contexts.

Do not do these habits in the morning!
Everyone would want to wake up with a fresh body and mind. Everybody's got an ideal morning and make them feel good for the rest of the day. But sometimes there are also things that can make your morning into a mess and ruin the mood up to a full day.
Mood in the morning can be damaged if you do the wrong habits. Here are some habits that you should not do in the morning, because this practice could ruin the rest of your day, as reported by Women's Health Mag.
1. Drinking coffee too early
There are people who have the habit of drinking coffee in the morning. This is actually a natural thing because coffee is known as a drink that can boost energy. But it is better not to drink coffee too early. Because when you wake up in the morning, the body's energy levels had rise naturally. Too hasty drinking a cup of coffee can make you feel uncomfortable. Coffee will be more beneficial if taken at least one hour after waking.
2. Small portion of breakfast
Breakfast with a small portion is often used by people who diet. But actually this is not good. Breakfast that is not filling will make you eat more calories and are more likely to snack during the day. In addition, you will feel a lack of energy and nutrients if breakfast is not sufficient to perform your activities.
3. Checking e-mail
Do not check your e-mail immediately after waking. Many people who are very busy and tied up with work, checking emails could be one of the first things they do when they wake up. Do not do it. Focus doing things away from work when you wake up. When you wake up, make your mind at ease with activities such as exercise, drinking tea, chatting with roommates and others. It will make you more productive for the next hour.
Those are some things you should not do in the morning. Without realizing it, the above habits will ruin your whole day willl feel energized, uncomfortable, or mind racing.

|No Perot
POD: Ross Perot runs for President in 1992 but drops out in July, this time for good. He is elected to the U.S. Senate.
WARNING: Editing by non members of the alternate history wiki on this article is currently prohibited due to the adding of unrealistic material.
- Ross Perot runs for President briefly, but drops out in July. In October, he announces that he will run for the U.S. Senate in Texas.
- Despite some difficulties, George Bush wins reelection against challenger Bill Clinton in a landslide, winning 52.4% of the popular vote against Clinton's 46.2%, and winning 326 electoral votes.

- In December, Bob Dole is re-elected as the Republican Senate Leader without opposition. In the House, the contest is fierce for Speaker between Republican Leader Bob Michael and Republican Whip Newt Gingrich. Michael is the choice of moderates while Gingrich is supported by conservatives. Although the vast majority of the incoming Republican Congressmen are conservative, they have no ability to vote in the Speaker election and ensure Michael's victory. Just before the vote, Gingrich announces his withdrawal from the Speaker's race and declares himself a candidate for Majority Leader. In the leadership elections, Michael becomes Speaker, Gingrich becomes Majority Leader, and Dick Army becomes Majority Whip.

Essien is on the verge of signing for Australian club Melbourne Victory
Once Michael Essien noticed the Australian way of life, he sought out the opportunity to continue his illustrious football career in the A-League.
With news of a potential deal with Melbourne Victory imminent, fellow Ghana international Lloyd Owusu, who has lived in Australia for four years after a stint with Adelaide in the A-League, has told foxsports.com.au that he has been in contact with his compatriot and helped sell the A-League to him in recent weeks.
Owusu, who enjoyed a long career in England, primarily with Brentford, where he played over 200 games, and Yeovil Town, revealed that he has been in regular contact with the midfielder who has played for giant European clubs Lyon, Chelsea, Real Madrid and AC Milan before leaving Greece outfit Panathinaikos in the off-season.
"He's been speaking to me in recent weeks," Owusu revealed.
"I think he's seen a few of my pictures on (social media) and he likes the look of it.
"It's great for the family lifestyle choice. I've told him, no disrespect to Australian football, it's not about a monetary thing because of what he can still get in Europe … but for a guy coming to the latter end of his career (it's perfect because) he's been there and done it.
"He's got wonderful family, three kids; it's the type of country to come at the end of his career. "He's always asked about the football. I said Alessandro Del Piero (has come), Emile Heskey, my other good mate, and over the years it has really developed - the talent pool, style of play and a guy of his calibre playing No.6 or No.8, breaking up attack, I believe he will be perfect for a club that can secure his services."
He added: "I knew there was a bit of dialogue – I even put his name forward to a certain A-League club previously. "Then I just mentioned it to him and he said if there's any interest let him know because it would take his fancy from what he's seen from me for the last four years, it looks like a great country."
Essien would play an important role adding star power to the competition, and Owusu says the midfielder would be aware of that aspect of being a marquee player. "He's a very humble man, very family orientated, religious, good guy - full stop – and he wouldn't want to come here just for the money, even though he'll get a good wicket.
"One, he wants to play at a good level. Two, he will be great playing with the younger players and three, he will help promoting the A-League as an overall package. That definitely would have enticed him to play over here." What was the competition's biggest sell to a player who has played in Ligue 1, the Premier League and Serie A?
"First and foremost, it's about a different football, something he wants to be involved in, and it's a new football – it's so far away. "He'll bring something different. "The lifestyle (was a factor), especially if you're going to bring out the family. "If the family's happy, he will be happy. Australia just makes you happy; the great weather, you feel good yourself. "All those attributes will tell if he joins Melbourne Victory."
And Victory will be getting a player who is a favourite son at Chelsea, where he won two Premier Leagues, and a bona fide icon in his homeland. "I always remember when he signed for Chelsea, we had an international against Togo, 2006.
"It was hero worship. When he goes back, he is a legend. "He comes from humble beginnings and done really well financially for himself but looked after his family and his village and his charities."
Owusu says that Essien's fitness won't be in issue and if Victory do land their prized recruit, they're getting a "beast, a machine" who also has phenomenal skill, which he first witnessed in 2005.
"I always remember we did a keep ball session and Essien, Stephen Appiah and Sully Muntari, I just couldn't get the ball off them. I actually stopped and clapped. "And Michael would have been about 20 at the time. This guy is unbelievable."
He added: "Victory will be a force to be reckoned with. He'll bring a diversity of play - I wouldn't say he's creative but he'll bring a concept of how to defend, break down teams, the way he can nullify attacks … it will be such an asset because he can break down play and then transition into attack. "(If they sign him), they'll be a real force." culled from foxsports.com.au

Published on Dec 02, 2015 Editor's Pick Thinking of our seniors seems to be a real theme this holiday season, with brands like John Lewis teaming up with Age U.K. and Germany's Edeka reminding us of what it is to be alone and elderly at Christmas time. This spot, from U.K. supermarket The Co-op, is far more understated, but the message is similar -- and for once, it's nice to see a brand not laying it on quite so thick. Directed by Park Pictures' Tom Tagholm ("Meet the Superhumans" and "Light in the Darkest Hours") for Leo Burnett London, the ad opens with two young guys who are planning a party but have run out of ice. One of them goes out to his local Co-op, slipping and sliding along icy streets (to the strains of Ravel's "Bolero," famous as the tune for the ice dance with which British skaters Torvill and Dean won an Olympic Gold medal in the 1980s). He also spots an elderly neighbor attempting to leave his house but afraid of the treacherous conditions. As well as a bag of ice, he finds all kind of holiday goodies on offer in the store. But though he looks delighted, they aren't for him; instead, he drops a shopping bag anonymously at the neighbor's door. (Follow-up clips to the spot will show the neighbor and his wife enjoying this selfless act.) Darren Keff and Phillip Meyler, the creative behind the campaign, said in a statement: "This was an opportunity to make a film that would tonally be very different to the other Christmas ads. A story that reflects the unique role Co-op plays in local life." Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

"The one thing [that you can't overcome], and it will always be this way, is the turnovers," Davis said. "It's the curse of trying to do the things that you need to try to do to win football games, and not just going into a shell but give yourself a chance to win football games."
Other timely big-plays also assisted in the win. A sack from a blitzing Cam Martin on third-and-two with roughly a minute left to play put the UNC offense in a very difficult fourth down situation and ultimately led to the Tar Heels' demise.
* Still no stopping the run. Like the three teams before them, Virginia Tech was able to run the ball against UNC's defense. While the Tar Heel D showed improvement in this area as the game progressed, Brandon Ore still averaged 4.9 yards on 19 carries as he was continuously provided holes by the Hokie O-line.
The most disheartening fact was that UNC knew Virginia Tech's game plan was to rely on its running game, since true freshman Tyrod Taylor's arm hasn't yet gained the trust of Frank Beamer to take shots down field.
* The next Michael Vick? Speaking of Taylor, his ability to elude defenders while in the pocket and make plays with his feet easily draws comparisons to a Virginia Tech great.
"He's a great athlete," said Deunta Williams. "I think he's going to be the next Michael Vick coming out of V-Tech. I think as the years go on, he'll develop a better arm. He already has an amazing arm."
While UNC missed a number of tackles in trying to bring him down, a lot of credit needs to be given to Taylor for some of the things he was able to do against UNC's defense. It appeared as if he dipped his uniform in baby oil prior to the game. He employed slight jukes to prevent UNC defenders from gripping him, while the use of his long arms gained him countless extra yards – especially with his stiff arm.
However, it was obvious Beamer isn't ready to allow Taylor to put the ball in the air. Taylor only threw on 35-percent of VT's offensive plays and half of his completed passes were screens.
* Coverage sacks. T.J. Yates was sacked six times, losing a total of 27 yards. Virginia Tech was also credited with five QB hurries. While it's easy to put the blame on the offensive line, in fact UNC's pass protection wasn't as bad as it may have seemed Saturday. Credit has to be given to the Hokies' secondary.
"A lot of times, they did a great time covering the receivers down field," Yates said. "They also did a great job of putting pressure [on me]. So that combination [made it] really hard to get some throws in there."
Led by star cornerbacks Brandon Flowers and Macho Harris, VT's secondary blanketed Yates' options and prevented the deep pass, which UNC has relied on for much of the early parts of the season. Yates didn't complete a pass over 20 yards.
Rarely does Yates throw the ball away while under pressure, something the young QB will continue to learn. Doing so will help UNC stay out of third-and-long situations.
* Battle of the punters. A game within the game quietly formed between Terrence Brown and Brent Bowden. Together, the punters booted six punts 50-plus yards. Brown was slightly more consistent with a 47.7-yard average and also punted a game high 63-yarder.
Brown also placed two of his six punts inside the 20-yard line, but more importantly limited big-play returner Eddie royal to just one punt return. Unlike Bowden, Brown's punts were accomplished occurred with a lot of pressure, including two knockdowns.
"I thought our punt team and our ability to keep the ball away from some dangerous [returners]… was important part of the game plan," Davis said. "I thought Terrence Brown… he knew he was going to get challenged. That they were going to bring the heat and he stood in there in the face of some pressure, that was very close to be honest with you, but he never flinched and he did a very good job."
* Deunta taking charge. Deunta Williams had a career day. Everyone will remember his 39-yard interception return in which he seemingly wouldn't go down, but Williams also posted a team-high nine tackles and seemed to be all over the field.
"I was just making my reads," said Williams. "I put in a lot of time this week and felt like we knew what they were going to do. I felt like we were well prepared for this game and the coaches wrote up a great game plan and put us in the position so we can make plays. I just made my reads and made some plays."
Deunta Williams is quickly becoming a leader and the heart of UNC's defense. He has great range and closes in on plays quickly.
* Houston, do we still have a problem?. For the first time all season, UNC's running backs collectively eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark (138 yards on 31 carries, to be exact). That's definitely a sign progress, especially against such a stout defense. However, UNC's running back situation still hasn't cemented itself.
"We're going to try to keep giving guys opportunities to grow," said Davis, who not only agreed that a tailback has yet to secure the feature role but also mentioned that the role may never be held down by one 'back.
On the second play from scrimmage, Ryan Houston spelled Johnny White, who officially started the game but only carried the ball twice. Houston went on to carry most of the day's rushing load with 18 carries.
Houston is a patient 'back, who quickly searches for the best possible hole. He busts through the lane quickly and is great at changing gears as things develop. While weaving through traffic, he uses his hands to ward off potential tacklers and to help navigate his way. Unlike lighter tailbacks, Houston will mull through trash and is able to consistently able to fall forward gaining two-three yards in the process. Also, Houston employs an underrated spin move upon contact which also leads to additional yards. He doesn't have the breakaway speed to be a big-play threat and ultimately needs a lighting 'back to match his thunder.
UNC headed into the fourth quarter with Anthony Elzy in the backfield and he had the most success. A fresh Elzy took advantage of his late opportunity and the fact that Virginia Tech wasn't expecting the run, and went on to run for 74 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries (6.7-yard average).
"[We put Elzy in] just to mix it up a little bit," said Davis. "It didn't have anything to do with Ryan fumbling the football… Anthony has a good feel for some of the stuff we were having a little bit of success with and once he got hot we stayed with him."
Surprisingly, Elzy, who also caught a 13-yard pass for a first down on fourth-and-nine, appeared to be that needed change of pace runner and a receiver option, which Houston hasn't proven to be.

Hi Helen, in the Review of "My boss isn´t satisfied with my work" there is one sentence "xue2sheng yin1gai1 nü3li4 xue2xi" and one "Wang2 xiao3jie2 gong1zuo3 nü2l4"...why is there a different word order?
why is sometimes "xue2xi" and sometimes just "xue2" being used?
we talked about the difference between "hui4lai2" and "lai"...I thought huilai is just being used when it means come back. In one of the excercises it is being used as "when will he come/arrive?"

I know it isn't my loss, but it has deeply touched me and broken my heart.(38 Posts)
I am sorry as this isn't my loss, it's not really my place to post but am not naming any names, so hope that is OK?
My friend and his partner have lost their baby. It stopped breathing at 36 weeks and she is having to have the baby naturally.
It's completely broken my heart for them. I can't even begin to think what they must be going through. I haven't got to speak to him yet and just don't know what to say (he has spoken to my partner, as we are all friends).
I sincerely hope that I can be of some help and they get some comfort from friends and family.
Is there anything I can do to help if anyone has had anything similar happen?
I could cry I feel so broken hearted for them.
Thank you.
They are pretty torn up as expected but are trying their best to sort things out and have a great family support unit as well as good friends.
I just wanted to say that my thoughts are with your friends at this awful time. My DS3 was born sleeping at 37 weeks 11 weeks ago. They have been the hardest 11 weeks of my life. I am so sad that someone else is also walking this sad road. Look after them.
I posted a similar op a few years ago following a similar experience with friends. The things they subsequently said helped was to mention their baby by name, to ask to look at photos and to talk about him / her. Also to remember their birthday. I gave them a rose named after their DD.
I can't imagine how awful this would be and ny heart goes out to those who have experienced this xxx
They had the baby today.
Seeing their poor families post about it just makes it even more real. God, I just couldn't imagine.
Heartbreaking story's everyone xxx
The same thing is happening with my friends. The baby is being delivered in 2 days time naturally.
I'm glad to know I am doing the best I can for them though as it's all I can do.
Years ago friends of ours were told that their baby had died just before his due date. His poor mother had to undergo a natural delivery 2 days later, which was DH birthday. We still remember him every year despite no longer being in touch with his parents as we've all moved. I remember my friend cuddling the photo album
as she was desperate to nurse, it was heartbreaking. You sound like a lovely friend.
Totally natural Gimme, but it's not yours or your daughter's fault. Your guilt is instinctive. I mostly (not always) found comfort in others children. Many of my friends with kids let that guilt and fear keep them away. These children were to be my daughter's friends. I found that important x
You could direct them to Glow In The Woods. A website for babylost parents. It's amazing.
You sound like a thoughtful friend, so just continue to be in contact and thoughtful.
It's so sad.
I definitely will offer to go up with them. Individually or separately whether it be once a year or every day.
I honestly just feel so sad and weirdly feel guilty because I have a beautiful little girl who is healthy and when I have looked at her today feel just so sad.
Whilst I think of it, we got these for friend's and family on what should have been her first birthday... I wish I'd found them for the funeral to put on the grave and save some for home.
Just a thought... xx
My DS2 died sixteen and a half years ago, 27 weeks - we had him for a few hours - he was terribly ill. I am glad places like Mnet exist now; they didn't then, one just had to get on with it and be bright and accept it would all be brushed under the carpet. My mother has never discussed it since, I tried once and she said how lucky I was that I had dd 51 weeks later, many weren't so lucky. She also once told me I was lucky it worked out the way it did because it meant I didn't have a disabled, sick child to deal with. DH doesn't discuss it all.
After so many years you do come to terms with it and stops hurting in the way it did after 1, or 2 or even 5 years; I look at dd and often get a lump in my throat that had things been different, I might not - probably would not have her and that is truly unimaginable because she has become the light of my life. You never, ever truly get over it though but that doesn't mean that life can't be good again or even better than you might ever have imagined.
Be there for them OP; remember (a little card of bunch of flowers on anniversaries are wonderful and means someone else remembers them too). I go to the cemetery on anniversaries, I used to go a lot more but still at least 4/6 times a year - it does help.
God bless, take care all of you.
My friend also made a CD of cbeebes favorites for the church, it sounds strange but listening to firemansam theme tune kind of lightens a extremely difficult and alful day of you life. Its just what I did, I don't no your friends and it was a different thing to do ? X
I hope you are right. Gimmee, whatever your friend does after the funeral will be up to them they may go everyday to visit there baby like Sam or they may be like me, and find it to difficult. But please offer to tag along or go and plant blue crocuses as my bf has, whatever you do will help massively honest x
As you can read from Sam n my story's aftercare is there for a reason please look into what they offer before your friends due date. They are excellent. The Chaplin too was a god send no pun intended lol he was there everyday for us. When I took Ethan's casts of hands and feet the team were with me in the room they are vital. Yeh I really do no how you feel Sam. Just try and take each day as it comes. Anxious is not a strong enough word is it xxx
I had my counselor ask why I go to visit when we aren't religious. I said to her, if I was religious, I'd probably visit her less because I'd feel she was all around me. Obviously, she's forever in my thoughts and my heart, but up at the cemetery, that is her. That's her home.
I can't help but feel if I don't visit that I'm not being her mum. I visited her at the hospital, at the hospice and at the funeral directors, I guess for me, its just an extension of that.
I have visits where it's just too hard and I cry majorly, but they tend to be if I've not been for a while. I always feel great relief after those visits. I wonder if its more compulsion and habit and needing to go that I go rather than being ok with it.
Everyone is different though... you'll go if and when you're ready xx
Yeh I agree Sam, gimmee definetly encourage them to associated something with the baby it really helps for some reason. I'm sure your friends will do anyway. And keep baby's memory alive simple chat like bringing his name into conversation 2,3,6 years on. X
Oh Sugar, I am sorry. I actually take a lot of comfort visiting Amélie (but knew me going daily for 4months wasn't healthy) and going through her things. Some days I know it's a bad idea when it all feels too much.
Amélie was 10weeks early because I had severe pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. She then got a premature linked condition called N.E.C which took her at 9 days. The first 7 days I was in a lot of pain from the c-section but was so calm. I spent most of my days in SCBU, my doctors were annoyed as I was never on the ward come check up time - sorry, my baby is more important. I got discharged on day 6 and was distraught. On the Sunday (day 7) I knew something was wrong but they had answers for everything. early hours on mMonday we got a call saying to get to the hospital now. She was transferred to another hospital and had an op the next day but it was too late. I didn't leave her side after that call.
They made her comfortable and that's when we got to make her memory things before saying goodbye. We were even more lucky that the hospice have afterlife care and we lived at the hospice for a week with Amélie before the funeral directors took her away. Then had another week visiting her there before she was buried. Always wish we had more time but so thankful for the time we were able to have.
As for this pregnancy, I'm terrified and will be all the way through. I must remember that even if this one is early, it doesn't mean the sane outcome. I bet you've had to tell yourself that too.
Huge hugs!! So glad you're now able to enjoy your daughter with less fear.
Hate being part of this club, but I'll never stop talking about Amélie xx
Its so similar to eathans. Beautiful arnt they. You sound like you can deal with the grave thing well it looks beautiful. I struggle enormously with it tbh xxx I just want to leave as soon as I get there and that sounds alful. I truly wish I could feel different about it ... how do you do it Sam? Xxx
Gimme, this is the present I mentioned from some amazing friends. If you know how they were going to dec the babe's room or something they associate with the baby, then keep your eyes peeled. It's the 'just because' memory gifts that mean the most x
Our story's and coping mechanisms sound similar. I have boxes but I've not looked in them since I packed them 3 years ago. Still too fresh for me. I was so scared when I had my daughter in February. I didn't enjoy my pregnancy at all sudden infant death syndrome has torn my world apart for too long now I'm just about moving on and my daughter is nearly 1 so I am just starting to enjoy her now. I cryed buckets when I was in hospital after I had her. I also stayed in hospital 5 days they were excellent. I didn't want to go home until 3 days had gone. I hope your pregnancy is going well and you are enjoying it more than me xx
What a beautiful mother's day idea Sugar x
I hope you don't mind me posting this. It's so gorgeous, I love showing it off. This is her headstone looking Christmassy (https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151778078250793&id=516315792&st=14&__user=516315792) x
I've got a few elephants and giraffes at home yes. Our very best friends bought us the most gorgeous family of 3 elephants walking, holding tails at sunset on a canvas. It's so beautiful and such a thoughtful gift. Still makes me smile everytime I look at it.
Got a few frogs too as she used to bend her legs like a frog in her SCBU incubator. Means we have little reminders around the house. I like it and as you say, it's not a shrine then.
We've got a couple of photos of her up and a hand print plate out but everything else is in memory boxes. We were so lucky that East Anglia Children's Hospice came to the hospital when we found out she wasn't going to make it - they made it possible to get silver prints for necklaces, printed plates and frames, hair, her cord, all sorts. We didn't get the casts as they said to do those after she was gone but Amélie had so much prodding, we only wanted the memory making things from when she was alive. Little memories like her squirming from the prints - the brush clearly tickled - mean the world to me. But they are safe in their boxes for when I feel I need to visit her and not just her grave. I know how lucky we are but everything is still so painful even 2 years on.
We're now expecting her baby brother or sister and I'm mixed with every emotion but know I love Amélie more than words, no one can replace her and I still think about her constantly.
Truly is a hard one to live with eh? x

The Savox C-C440 Unit is connected to the user's professional two way radio and provides a remote PTT facility via a large, easy to access surface button. The unit can be secured to the users clothing, typically on the chest, which means there is no need to repeatedly reach for the two way radio itself to operate it. The C-C440 is ideal for use when the radio is required to be worn underneath protective clothing.The large surface PTT also provides easier and more consistent operation of the two way radio in situations where the hands are being used primarily for other tasks. The unit is designed to be used with heavy duty gloves such as those used by firefighters.Savox said that one of the main benefits of this new device is the extreme durability which this unit provides. Being rugged and durable for use in the most extreme situations, the product is approved to the IP67 standard, which means it is totally dust proof and submersible in water up to depth of 1m. ATEX compliant versions will become available soon. One totally new feature of the C-C440 is the emergency button, which provides a manual method of sending an alert via the radio to notify controllers that the user is in distress (this only works with radio models that provide this feature). The Savox C-C440 includes a 4 pole quick release connector which means it is compatible with the wide range of Savox bone microphones and other types of headsets, providing flexibility for the user.The new physical form includes 'castellations' on the periphery of the unit for improved grip and operation of the product when in the hand. The unique tactility of the large surface area PTT button has been improved and it can be operated even from the extreme edge of the button. It is rugged, lightweight and ideal for use by firefighters, but is also suited for use in other sectors where clear communication is essential such as oil and gas industries, petrochemical plants, water treatment facilities, power generation, distribution and mining.Wireless magazineLeave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

By By Sgt. 1st Class Kevin P. Bell, USARPAC CCP Public AffairsApril 4, 2011
CLARK AIR BASE, Philippines -- The U.S. Army Pacific Contingency Command Post went wireless March 28 during its certification exercise, or CERTEX, at Clark Air Base, Philippines.
The Contingency Command Post, or CCP, is conducting its CERTEX before the command post exercise during Balikitan 2011, a bilateral exercise held annually in the Philippines between U.S. and Philippine forces.
The CCP consists of 96 personnel who provide a forward command post capability to USARPAC, specifically focusing on small-scale contingencies such as supporting humanitarian assistance, disaster relief and peace operations.
"This is the first time the (Department of Defense) approved connection to classified and unclassified networks wirelessly. This will greatly reduce the time it takes to set up our networks during contingency operations and will greatly reduce our footprint because we won't need all of the cabling ," said Maj. William Macugay, CCP communications and information network officer and deputy G-6. "We can cut eight to 10 hours of cabling down to a lot less than half that using wireless."
Going wireless the CCP will be able to get information back to USARPAC leadership quicker, possibly resulting in Army forces in the Pacific getting help to those in need more quickly during contingencies and disasters.
"We're de-tethering, instead of being limited by the cabling. You are now mobile, so you can move around in the operating area seamlessly," said Bart Robinson, one of the several civilian contractors assisting the Army communications team at Clark. "Using off-the-shelf 802.11 wireless technology the team is feeding encrypted classified information over an unclassified network," added Robinson.
This may raise some eyebrows, but Robinson says it's secure.
"We're wrapping encryption in encryption. If somebody tried to intercept the data, it would take literally millions of years for them to decrypt the information," he said.
Macugay says that although it will make things easier in the long run, in the short term it's going to require more training for his signal Soldiers and those assigned to the CCP.
"Once we work out the bugs, everyone else in the Pacific will look to us as the guys to follow when they go wireless," Macugay said.

After nearly being duped by a forged chips scam earlier this year, an Atlantic City casino is tightening security measures for its latest poker tournament
New tournament chips identifiable with an ultraviolet light and marked by more colors and more detailed design were used for the first time Tuesday in the Spring Poker Open at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. Casino officials said the move was a direct result of an alleged attempt by a North Carolina man to rig play with counterfeit chips, some of which he later flushed down a hotel room toilet.
The added expense to the cost of the more detailed chips is significant but necessary, Borgata Senior Vice President Joe Lupo said. He declined to provide the exact difference in the cost between the high-security chips and standard tournament chips.
"Considering that we have biggest poker tournaments on the East Coast and we expect to continue to do so, it's imperative that we ensure that our customers have confidence in the integrity of the tournaments," Lupo said.
Borgata decided to upgrade to enhanced security chips, in part because the casino had to buy new chips for its latest tournament as some denominations of chips are still sequestered as evidence in the ongoing investigation of the January tournament, Lupo said.
In January, police arrested a North Carolina man who they said had introduced 160 forged chips into Event 1 of the Borgata Winter Poker Open and charged him with theft and rigging a public contest. The man, Christian Lusardi, had received packages of plastic chips from Hong Kong and used spray paint to create the forgeries, according to court documents.
Lusardi, who won $6,184 in the tournament, was caught after he attempted to flush some of the chips down a toilet in his Harrah's Resort and Casino hotel room, causing plumbing problems at the property.
The case remains under investigation by State Police and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, DGE spokeswoman Kerry Langan said.
The tournament that began Jan. 14 remains suspended by regulators, and $1.5 million in the prize pool remains frozen. A class action lawsuit was filed in New Jersey Superior Court in February, alleging that the casino failed to properly supervise the event. The lawsuit seeks refunds of the players' buy-ins and other incidental costs.
Lupo said Borgata will now conduct periodic checks of its new tournament chips with ultraviolet lights throughout play for added security.

By John Leicester, Associated Press Writer
PARIS French voters dealt a stinging warning to President Nicolas Sarkozy by throwing his party out of office in a string of towns and cities, a ballot box setback that prompted immediate promises of reinvigorated reforms from his government.
While of only limited national import, the reverses in municipal elections Sunday for mayors and city councilors were a sobering reminder of how the 53-year-old Sarkozy has shrunk in the estimation of some voters since he was elected last May on a program of in-depth economic and social change for France.
Then, Sarkozy was welcomed like a rock star by tens of thousands of cheering supporters in Paris. On Sunday night, as results showed that his party had lost control of closely-watched towns and cities, he did not make an appearance -- leaving his prime minister, Francois Fillon, to defend his policies in a televised declaration.
Fillon vowed to stay the course of reform despite demands for a change of tack from opposition Socialists buoyed by their showing in the elections. Fillon promised stepped-up efforts to create jobs and fatten paychecks -- both leading demands of the French.
"You can't change a great country like ours in a few months," he said. "Tenacity is needed to reform."
From foie gras country in the southwest to Champagne country in the northeast, towns where Sarkozy's UMP party had been in charge swung to the opposition Socialists.
Sarkozy was expected to make changes in the government and his personal team, likely within days, while avoiding a major ministerial reshuffle. One minister sure to be replaced was Christian Estrosi, in charge of overseas territories, who was elected mayor of Nice. He had promised to leave the government to be full-time mayor if elected.
UMP leader Patrick Devedjian said Monday that changes would be small "and above all technical."
Presidential spokesman David Martinon, disgraced after an internal party rebellion forced him out of the mayoral race in Sarkozy's fiefdom of Neuilly-sur-Seine, was expected to lose his job at the president's side.
Reeling since Sarkozy defeated their candidate, Segolene Royal, last May, the Socialists could now bounce back as more of a coherent, forceful opposition to Sarkozy on the back of the municipal results.
Paris stayed in the hands of Socialist Mayor Bertrand Delanoe, City Hall said, and Lyon also was in Socialist control.
In Perigueux, Sarkozy's minister for education, Xavier Darcos, lost his bid to be re-elected as mayor -- by 113 votes.
A Socialist took control of the important conservative bastion of Toulouse, home to plane maker Airbus, according to the Interior Ministry.
The ministry's official results showed conservatives and centrists lost mayorships in Strasbourg, Blois, Reims, Caen and Amiens. Projections by the polling agencies Ipsos and TNS-Sofres showed other towns set to switch to leftist hands.
There was one bright spot for Sarkozy's party: Its candidate, incumbent mayor Jean-Claude Gaudin, won a tough and crucial contest in Marseille, he and his opponent said. Losing the port city would have been a big blow for the UMP.
Looked at nationally, partial official results showed parties of the left leading slightly, with 48.7 percent of the overall vote to 47.6 percent for the right.
Sarkozy has been beset by low poll ratings and complaints from opposition politicians and voters alike that he has acted in a manner unbefitting for a president with a series of angry public outbursts, a widely publicized divorce, and a quick courtship and marriage to former model and singer Carla Bruni.
Ten months after his election, France's economy remains sluggish and Sarkozy has backed off from or toned down some of the sweeping reforms that he promised on the campaign trail last year.
Internationally, this year is a crucial one for his presidency: France takes over the rotating presidency of the European Union in July, which will put Sarkozy's leadership even more in the spotlight.
Looking to capitalize on their showing, leading Socialists insisted that the two rounds of voting over two weekends across the country and in France's far-flung overseas territories represented a major setback for Sarkozy's politics.
Socialist former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius said the government was heading for "divorce" with the French electorate if it refuses to change its policies. He used a soccer metaphor to characterize Sunday's results, saying voters had given the government "a red card."
Royal, the Socialist presidential candidate Sarkozy defeated last May, called Sunday's results "a vote of hope."
The municipal elections have less to do with party affiliation than other elections, and most voters say they cast their ballots based on local issues like parks, public transport and garbage collection. Yet the race was also a gauge of how the French rate Sarkozy's performance.
Bruno Marcandella, a computer engineer from Paris' Latin quarter, expressed dissatisfaction with the way Sarkozy handles "everything -- not just his personal life."
"I'm going to vote because I want my vote to count on a national level," he said.

Shahrukh Khan's son Aryan Khan was recently spotted on the beach. And we must say that the star kid is looking superhot without shirt in the picture.
It seems that Shahrukh Khan's 17 year old son Aryan will rule Bollywood just like him one day. Currently, Aryan is pursuing his highter education at the Sevenoaks School in London. Sevenoaks School is one of the oldest and most prestigious schools in the city.
Aryan is the reason why Shahrukh often visits London with his family.
When Shahrukh Khan was once asked whether Aryan Khan will join Bollywood or not, the actor had replied, "No, no, no, no is all I will say for now. He is very young right now. He needs to complete his studies first.''

Shahrukh added, ''Abhi usko padh lene toh do. After that, he will make his own career choices. As of now, there are no plans of him getting launched in the industry.''
Shahrukh Khan also confessed that his son Aryan Khan is very shy and is not media friendly.
