Morcellator Recall Information for Residents of Hawaii
Laparoscopic Power Morcellators Subject to Global Recall for Cancer Risk
Laparoscopic power morcellators were recalled from hospitals globally in July of 2014 when new studies suggested the device has the potential to cause severe harm. In particular, power morcellators used for hysterectomy and myomectomy can spread unsuspected cancer cells throughout the patient's abdomen. This results in cancer "upstaging", meaning a relatively treatable disease is advanced to a late-stage and often deadly cancer through the process of morcellation. In response to FDA warnings, Johnson & Johnson has issued a comprehensive morcellator cancer recall. J&J dominates sales of power morcellators for hysterectomy and myomectomy in the U.S. and throughout the world.
The J&J morcellator recall represents yet another major product safety recall from one of the largest medical suppliers in the nation. "The company has had a rather abysmal track record on the public health front of ethical breaches in the last few years," according to Diana Zuckerman, President of the National Center for Health Research. Late in 2013, J&J announced it would pay a total of $2.5 billion to settle 8,000 hip implant recall cases resulting from product defects in its DePuy Orthapaedics line. J&J is currently facing approximately 30,000 lawsuits for defective pelvic mesh implants. Despite these setbacks, J&J increased sales during 2013 by 6.1%, reporting annual sales of $71.3 billion.
Filing a Hawaii morcellator cancer recall lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson may be the most effective method for consumers to demand corporate accountability for the injustices done to women in Hawaii who have developed late-stage cancer as a result of surgery. This page contains comprehensive information about the morcellator cancer recall and resources for filing a Hawaii morcellator recall lawsuit.
Morcellator Cancer Recall History
The morcellator cancer risk became public knowledge through a series of events in 2014, but Johnson & Johnson knew of the risk as early as 2006. That year, Dr. Richard Lamparter, a pathologist at Evangelical Community Hospital in Lewisburg, PA, informed Johnson & Johnson of the risk posed by power morcellators for spreading unsuspected uterine cancer. At that time, eight years before the company withdrew power morcellators from the market and issued a global morcellator recall, the company added a minimal warning to the product label. The warning cautioned surgeons that unsuspected ovarian sarcomas (cancer) may be present. However, the label did not outline the risk posed by using morcellation when such cancer cells did exist.
When Dr. Lamparter contacted J&J in 2006, he indicated that traditional open surgery was a safer alternative to morcellator surgery:
"When the operative procedure is a standard hysterectomy, no damage is done. If a morcellation is done, the patient's survival is jeopardized."
In fact, the FDA confirmed Lamparter's statement in 2014: "Patients with unsuspected sarcoma who undergo morcellation may have poorer disease-free survival and overall survival compared to patients who do not receive morcellation."
Dr. Lamparter is not the only physician who has spoken out publicly to warn of the cancer danger. Dr. Hooman Noorchashm of Harvard launched a large-scale effort to ban the device in hysterectomy and myomectomy, resulting in the morcellator recall. Noorchashm asserts that using morcellators for hysterectomy is "a shameful act of professional negligence" because of the potential to spread and intensify existing cancer. Because there is no reliable way to know if cancer cells are present prior to surgery, Dr. Noorchashm called for a widespread ban on the practice.
Dr. Noorchashm asserts that using morcellators for hysterectomy is "a shameful act of professional negligence" because of the potential to spread and intensify existing cancer.
Dr. Noorschashm's online petition, and the high-profile plight of his anesthesiologist wife who was diagnosed with advanced-stage ovarian cancer following a hysterectomy, brought the attention of federal regulators to the issue. In April of 2014, the FDA issued a Safety Communication warning surgeons against the use of power morcellators for ovarian surgeries due to a higher-than-presumed risk of spreading cancer. Shortly thereafter, J&J's Ethicon division suspended the sales and marketing of these devices worldwide. This action conceded that morcellator cancer was a real threat, but fell short of a morcellator recall. Johnson & Johnson is the primary manufacturer of power morcellators used for gynecologic surgeries.
Then, in July of 2014, the FDA's Obstetrics and Gynecology Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee met to more fully investigate the risk of morcellator cancer. Through a review of literature and adverse events reporting, the committee concluded that the spreading of cancerous cells and intensification of the disease is a serious risk for patients undergoing surgery and called for stronger cancer warnings on product labels.
J&J Issues Morcellator Recall for Cancer Risk
On July 30, 2014, in the wake of the FDA medical device committee's findings, Johnson & Johnson issued a global morcellator recall for all laparoscopic power morcellators used in gynecologic surgeries such as hysterectomy and myomectomy. The company sent a letter entitled "Urgent: Medical device market withdrawal" to hospitals around the United States, warning surgeons of the morcellator cancer risk and asking that power morcellator devices be taken out of use and returned to the company promptly. The J&J morcellator recall is for three different products: the Gynecare Morcellex, the Gynecare X-Tract, and the Morcellex Sigma. The J&J morcellator recall for cancer has highlighted the morcellator cancer risk in both the medical community and amongst the public.

A car radiator disperses heat away from the main engine block. A car engine works by burning fuel (whether petrol or diesel), and this generates a considerable amount of heat. In addition, a car engine has many moving parts; this movement creates friction, which in turn adds to the heat.
Because a car engine must remain not too hot in order to avoid overheating and seizure, when it reaches a certain temperature the thermostat opens to allow the flow of coolant and water around the engine and back to the radiator, where it loses heat to the cooler surrounding air. The front grill of the car allows outside air to blow over the radiator. If the radiator gets too hot, for example on a very hot day, or when the car is stationary, a fan behind the radiator starts, helping to blow air over it.
The most common reason for needing a car radiator repair is a leak. There are many seals, gaskets and hoses in the cooling system that can deteriorate or get a hole in them. Furthermore, every radiator needs to be properly maintained and the coolant must be kept topped up. Your garage should provide coolant changes at the same time as your annual service.
It's also a good idea to check your car's coolant level regularly. If it seems to be dropping a lot, then you may have a leak in the cooling system.
The sixth biggest Japanese automaker and the sixteenth biggest worldwide automaker, Mitsubishi is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, where it was started in 1917. The brand now finds itself leading the field in creation of efficient hybrid technologies, such as the The Outlander PHEV (which stands for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle), while happily heading up the attack on global car markets, and is currently one of the best-selling hybrid vehicles on offer in the UK. The rest of the Mitsubishi range consists of cars like the economical Mirage, the sporty four-wheel drive Shogun, and the very family friendly ASX SUV.
About the Mitsubishi Lancer
The Mitsubishi Lancer was first launched in 1973, and is now in its ninth generation. It's the first Lancer to be sold as a hatchback since the fifth generation was unveiled in 1988, and is one of the most practical models in Mitsubishi's range. While it's got lots of rave reviews from the 30,000 questioned in the Driver Power survey, there are still a few things to look out for. For example, some drivers have complained that the car cuts out for no apparent reason when in low gear. Something to watch!
How to be a better driver
Whether you're driving in Chichester or further afield, think about road user etiquette. Showing respect for other road users makes driving more pleasant for you and safer for everyone. For example, if you have to make a last minute change of lane, make your request to change clear to the driver who will need to let you in - and signal your thanks if they do. Be ready to abandon the change of lane if they won't play ball - your safety (and that of other drivers and pedestrians) is more important than getting to your destination in the shortest time possible. When the position is reversed and a driver asks your permission to change lanes, allow them to as long as it is safe. If you get frustrated, avoid using your horn - it won't improve matters and might make them considerably worse.

17 days until AIM.
i used to think that AIMers were SO mature and smart…
they get dumber every year. no offense to any specific previous AIMer, but you know what i mean. they're not perfect people that know everything about the bible.
it's wierd.
two weeks.
i'm not nervous or anxious. i feel fine. it's just wierd to think about it.
i've always been Kris Smith's son who just hangs out with the AIMers.
it's going to be wierd when i start packing, though. i'll probably freak out more before i move to the field because i'm only moving across a golf course and i'll come back to my house a lot to do laundry, so, no biggie.
anyway, i got to see two of the AIM teams in mexico this last week and it was wierd to think that this time last year, Josh Tracy was going on the same trip to Mexico with our youth group and now he's living there and doing awesome things.
my favorite part of the trip was sitting in Mexican church, which i've of done plenty of times, and i thought about all of the other AIM teams that had church all around the world that day in whatever language.
and i thought, hopefully this time next year, i'll be somewhere going to church, maybe in a different language, doing anything possible to glorify God.
i even got excited thinking about all the hard things i'd have to deal with: language barriers, cultural differences, culinary oddities, team problems, culture shock…
diarrhea, whatever.
it's worth it.
being in my comfort zone isn't that important.
all that's important is that people need to know Christ.
they need to know the Gospel…
God's love.
we drove by a small town on our way back from Mexico.
couldn't have had more than a hundred people, but it was in the middle of nowhere.
they probably haven't seen a real "outsider" for a while, if ever.
it just seemed like they'd never have contact with the outside world.
i was staying up with Amanda. we were just talking because everyone was asleep and she didn't want to sleep until after we got to the border.
but we passed this town and i started to wonder how hard it would be to show the REAL TRUTH to the whole town.
"who is gonna tell the child about Jesus?"- Acappella
"…it's my responsibility"
i don't remember where i was going with that, it just made me get really excited about AIM.
ok, i'm going to sleep.

Rolls-Royce has its eye on cashed-up Queenslanders
COULD a resource magnate be the next Kyle Sandilands or John Laws?
They don't even need the velvety radio tones or a poison tongue.
Rolls-Royce wants to expand its operations into the Sunshine State to tap into those with deep pockets and exquisite tastes.
But a cashed-up mining sector is not the only industry in the sights of Rolls-Royce.
Paul Harris, the Asia-Pacific regional director for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said he was well aware of the state's three other key pillars in agriculture, tourism and constriction, and there was strong interest from Queensland.
There are currently just two Australian dealerships, including Melbourne and Sydney, but Brisbane and Perth outlets will expand that number to four during 2013.
Mr Harris said he was undertaking a "stringent and strict evaluation process" taking into consideration the application, business plan, location and connection to customer types.
He expects to finalise the dealership within the next six-12 weeks and open a Brisbane Rolls-Royce facility in the second half of next year.
While there are Rolls-Royces on Queensland roads, servicing is only conducted by a qualified technician at a Gold Coast BMW dealer.
Mr Harris would not be drawn on sales expectations, but said "the business needs to be a success" and he would expect double digit sales annually once the dealership was in place.
"We have seen a healthy response to our new Phantom Series II family and over the last two years, the Ghost family," he said.
The brand launched an updated version of its flagship Phantom line in Melbourne last week.
Rolls-Royce markets the Phantom as the "pinnacle super-luxury car". The Series II will cost customers between $855,000 for the base sedan and $1,075,000 for the Drophead Coupe.
They can choose between 44,000 colours although there is only one powerplant - a 6.75-litre V12 pumping out 338 of the smoothest kilowatts you'll find on the road.
General manager, sales and marketing for the Asia Pacific, Daniel Balmer said, "Firstly, we have noticed that demand for our cars has come from all round the country, and we have reached a tipping point where there is now a business case for suitable partners to establish new bases for us in key locations.
"Secondly, the average amount of Bespoke currently ordered through our Australian dealerships on each Rolls-Royce motor car is one of the highest in the world. Servicing these increasing requests requires a commitment to showrooms and sales consultants who know how to tailor a motor car to our customers' expectations," he said.
Phantom model 2013 Model Year* pricing:
Phantom A $855,000
Phantom Extended Wheelbase $990,000
Phantom Coupe $995,000
Phantom Drophead Coupe $1,075,000
*Drive away prices inclusive of on road charges i.e. stamp duty (variable based on state stamp duty charges, examples based on NSW stamp duty charges), Registration and Compulsory Third Party Insurance. The starting prices quoted are highly dependent on customer specification. Each Rolls-Royce is built-to-order and unique.

When Charise Beckett and Jeremy Barbera first met, it was thanks to a little luck — and some courage on Jeremy's part. "I was having lunch with a friend in San Francisco when Jeremy came up to our table and told her that he'd like to meet me," she remembers. He was there on a business trip from New York, so Charise offered to show him around the city, and the rest is history.
In February of 2010, Jeremy and a friend worked up a plan to get Charise to Chicago for what ended up being a performance of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart. After the show, Jeremy brought Charise on stage and asked her to be his wife.
The bicoastal couple chose to celebrate their wedding not once, but twice! After a ceremony and reception in California in August of 2013, they invited 35 family members and friends to New York City for an intimate dinner reception on April 16th, 2014 at the iconic Lambs Club restaurant, photographed by Derek Lapsley.

Charise spotted her Anna Maier Ulla-Maija gown before she was even engaged. "I was helping a friend shop for dresses and saw someone putting it on a mannequin. It turned out he was the designer, Charles Bunstine. I told him I'd be back to try it on!" she says. She tried on a few other gowns before she got the nude silk and French Chantilly lace dress on, but making a decision was easy. "It felt like I was wearing the dress instead of the dress wearing me," she says.
Photo: [Derek Lapsley Photographer](http://www.lapsleyphoto.com/)
The couple chose The Lambs Club for its extraordinary cuisine and Art Deco décor. "We love art, theatre, and history, and a fantastic restaurant down the street from the city's Theater District was so true to us," says Charise.
They kept the décor simple, topping tables with pale pink-and-peach garden roses and hydrangeas. Gilded chargers matched the venue's Old New York vibe.

The two-tiered wedding cake featured an explosion of sugar flowers created by Sylvia Weinstock. "She requested the lace pattern from my wedding gown and recreated it on the pale lavender fondant," Charise says. The flavors matched the cake from the couple's wedding in California, layers of apricot and caramel on chocolate-and-vanilla sponge cake.

"It was amazing to have people travel so far to celebrate with us twice," says the bride. "It was better than any gift anyone could ever put a bow on."
The bride's advice is to be true to who you are. "I spent the morning walking in Central Park and going to yoga with a friend instead of getting a much-needed manicure and pedicure. I still laugh about painting my toenails half an hour before the reception, but it was quality time that I'll always treasure," she says. And of course, prioritize the food! "Choose a menu that is as sumptuous as you can afford. We were so lucky to get to have our dream wedding meal!"

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
On Tuesday, the chairman-elect and president of the Mortgage Bankers Association spoke about the impact of federal regulation on lending before the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit.
David Motley, who also serves as president of mortgage banker Colonial Savings, tackled on the positive and negative effects of federal regulation in the industry.
"MBA has consistently supported reasonable requirements that will prevent a reemergence of housing and market disruptions," Motley said. "We believe some aspects of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and other statutes have made the mortgage market safer; however, in many other respects the Dodd-Frank rules have reduced the availability and affordability of mortgage credit for many American families."
Motley urged Congress to consider changes in QM loans, such as expanding their legal safe ground, increasing the small loan threshold for smaller-balance loans, setting up alternatives to QM underwriting and establishing a clear set of criteria to define QM.
He also tackled the expense of servicing loans, how it turns off lenders and how enforcement under the False Claims Act has led to uninterested FHA lenders with limited and defensive underwriting for borrowers.
Motley also said CFPB should provide more time-sensitive guidelines to investors and "adopt formal, risk-based standards for examinations" to lessen "regulatory burdens on independent mortgage bankers."
"We urge this subcommittee to do a thorough review of these rules and regulations and make adjustments where necessary," Motley said. "Done properly, we can balance the need for appropriate consumer protections while ensuring access to safe, sustainable mortgage credit."

On New Year's Day, after casually excreting what I thought to be the unused portion of 2004's last victuals, I glanced into the toilet wherein bobbed a quantity of very tiny skeletons, intact and unmistakably adult / human despite their wee dimensions. How many? Didn't count, but there they drifted, sure enough, thru the cold pisspot water.
What a peculiar surprise, beloved diary!
Who were these itsy people? When had I eaten them?
What on earth to do?
I pulled the handle, my nerves all tingly with that admixture of vague dread and mild hope familiar to anyone who's courted chance at the casino slots.
Whoosh! I say WHOOSH went the apparatus as our strange congress of osteo-lilliputians succumbed to the vortex, swirling away and cessward as mysteriously as they'd arrived.
One does ponder in the aftermath of events such as this, you betcha.
As I washed my hands, glancing toward the calming toilet (lest a skeleton or two claw their way back up through the pipes), I did ponder, eventually realizing what had just happened.
Amazement and epiphany!
A realization, I decided, worth sharing with my close friends.
So that's what happened.

Although using a windsurf board as a makeshift stand-up paddle board is certainly not ideal, it can usually be done. Often, beginners to the sport of stand-up paddling don't yet want to invest in all the necessary gear because they're not yet sure whether or not the sport will be up their alley. If they like paddleboarding, they figure, they'll invest in the proper gear later.
When it comes to the topic of converting your old windsurf board into an SUP board, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that many windsurf boards are suitable for SUP purposes and, in a pinch, can get you started in this exciting and enjoyable sport. The bad news is that a large amount of windsurf boards are entirely unsuitable for SUP use and will give you a terrible time if you try to force things, much like trying to put a square peg into a round hole.
If you have recently discovered the joys and thrills that paddleboarding can hold, have gotten your hands on an old windsurf board, and can't wait to try it out, by all means, do. Don't let any ranting predictions of doom dissuade you. Do understand, however, that if the windsurf board is unsuitable for SUP use, you may have an extremely hard time. If you do have a hard time, though, don't let that dissuade you either. Just get right back up and invest in an actual stand-up paddle board, and all your troubles will be behind you.
Points To Consider When Thinking About A Windsurf Board As a SUP
Here are a few issues that you should be aware of when trying to use a windsurf board as a stand-up paddle board. Some of these potential problems have solutions and others are not so easy to solve.
The biggest problem that most people face when trying to convert an old windsurf board into a stand-up paddle board is the problem of incorrect width. Most good windsurf boards have the tendency to be extremely narrow. This is essential to the sport of windsurfing as it allows for greater maneuverability. For SUP purposes, however, boards that are too narrow are usually too wobbly to be able to properly balance on while paddling standing up.
Any board that measures less than 76 centimetres across will cause some serious wobbling problems if used for paddleboarding. Unfortunately, most long boards used for windsurfing fall right into the 'too narrow' category.
Then there's the opposite problem of the board being too wide. Most wide-style training boards used by beginning windsurfers are too wide to give a smooth SUP ride. Besides this, windsurf training boards tend to have planshapes that are far too rounded for the sport of paddleboarding. These rounded boards deliver a terrible rowing effect when used for paddleboarding, and the paddleboarder tends to merely go around in circles. Since paddleboarding is all about getting places, using a makeshift stand-up paddle board that is too wide, too heavy in the water, or too rounded to really go anywhere will seriously hamper the fun that could be had if a regular board was used.
Customising a Windsurf Board To Be Useful As A SUP
A problem that can be solved is the presence of footstraps on the deck of the board. Many windsurf boards come with a whole slew of straps designed to keep the board attached to the surfer in the face of huge jumps and powerful gusts of air. These straps, however, only tend to get in the way when the board is used for stand-up paddling. Footstraps can be easily cut off, as can mast track and any other unnecessary debris that may be present on the face of the board. Just be sure that you won't need your makeshift stand-up paddle board for windsurfing again in the near future, as the straps can be next to impossible to reattach.
There are plenty of windsurf boards that can be used for paddleboarding with very few modifications, and if you happen to have one of these that features the correct length, width, and consistency, kudos to you! Have fun paddleboarding!

There are two news stories this week about parents who have lost children, and the role that they may or may not have played in their child's death or disappearance.
For one of these parents, I have deep pity. For another, I have less. I am sure that where my sympathies lie, and do not lie, may run counter to what many others are feeling. But I can only relate to what I know as a parent, a single parent, a working parent... and a parent who puts the safety of my children above all else.
These are the parents for whom I do not have a lot of sympathy. I cannot, for the life of me, imagine leaving three tiny children alone in a hotel room, or apartment, for 15 minutes... nevermind leaving them alone while I go have dinner with my husband and friends. While I am not yet convinced that they played a role in Madeline's disappearance or sadly what may be her death, I hold them absolutely accountable for what happened.
In an attempt to portray them as intelligent, good people in the aftermath of them being named as suspects today, one news reporter pointed out that they are doctors. Who was it that said one can be intelligent without being smart? It may have been me.
I've seen them interviewed on The Today Show, and didn't hear any anguish over the choice they had made. Yes, they appeared to be distraught over her disappearance...but where was their deep regret for violating Parenting 101?
This is the parent I feel deeply for. I watched the video of her on the news last night, anguished and despondent over what happened to her child, and could barely sleep afterwards.
You see, this wasn't the case of someone who routinely left her kid in the car while she got her hair done, or while she shopped (like my parents did, btw). This was someone who was trying to do everything she needed to do, to be a good parent and good worker and good person, and she screwed up. Big time. When my son was a baby and I was taking him to daycare every morning before work, I often had to repeat over and over to myself that I had to drop him off before going to the office. My mind was applesauce, between a stressful job, raising two children, and having a husband who barely pulled his own weight. My biggest fear was that I'd drive to work one day and leave my son sleeping in the car, in the garage of my building, while I rushed upstairs to get to work on time.
And then I saw a news story about a woman who did just that, with tragic results. Like this woman did.
Honestly, I don't know how she will live with herself. But I also do not see why people are calling for her prosecution while pitying the McCanns. They intentionally and irresponsibly left their children alone. She, on the other hand, made a horrible mistake that will haunt her for the rest of her days.

Resist is the sequel to Breathe. The resistance against the controllers of the pod has been crushed, and the book picks up the storyline immediately after.
I had the same problems and praise for this as I did for the first in the series: The world-building is excellent, the premise is great. What pulls it down is the chapter-head hopping and the similar voices of the different narrators. Give me a section of this as an extract and I won't be able to tell if it's Alina or Bea without the chapter heading.
As a result, nothing moved me or pushed me one way or the other. I think this also needs to be read back-to-back with the first book without a gap. There was a lot of name dropping from the first book that made me feel like I'd missed something.
Not a bad book by any means, but the constant jumping and the catch-up pulled me out of the story instead of dragging me in.

Update: Boy Scout Jarod Ropelato Found in Utah Wilderness
(SALT LAKE CITY) -- Boy Scout Jared Ropelato, who disappeared Friday in Utah's Ashley National Forest, was found Saturday about five miles from where he went missing, the local sheriff announced.
Jared, 12, was found by searchers on ATV's near the head gate to Long's Park canal, according to a statement from the Dagget County Sheriff's Office.
Despite being lost in the rough terrain for more than 20 hours, Jared was found to be in good health by EMTs who examined him at the search command post.
The resourceful Boy Scout built himself a lean-to to sleep in and and help himself stay warm when temperatures dipped into the 40s overnight, sheriff's office spokeswoman Karen Peterson said.
Jared Ropelato, 12, of Hooper, Utah, went missing Friday around noon local time as his troop fished in Utah's Ashley National Forest.
Ropelato, of Hooper, Utah, went missing around noon on Friday after separating from his troop during a fishing trip in a wooded area near Daggett Lake and Spirit Lake, officials said.

As much as I have loved JR Ward in the past, her recent books have been kind of hit and miss for me. While this one has gotten some mixed reviews, I actually really enjoyed it. These Black Dagger Legacy books have the feel of old school BDB, and those were the ones that I love most.
This book has two different main storylines happening at once. One follows Rhage and Mary as they settle into parenthood with Bitty, all the while knowing that she's not quite theirs yet. The other is the romance between Axe, one of the recruits, and Peyton's cousin Elise.
I will be honest, I wasn't thrilled when Rhage and Mary got another book with The Beast. And I was even less excited that half of this book belonged to them yet again. But there were some moments that did tug on my heartstrings, and I suppose it was necessary for their story to come full circle. We also needed some kind of b-plot to the romance and this was as good as any. I just wish that, proportionally, this felt secondary instead of equal in page time.
What really did work for me was the romance between Axe and Elise. I'm a fan of the poor guy/rich girl trope. Axe is so destitute he can't even keep his electricity on. Plus, he is completely closed off to falling in love. And there's a good backstory to support that. Elise's set-up isn't all that different from the one Paradise had in book one. She is high born with an overprotective father who wants to keep her cloistered. But Elise is no fighter, and she is not a carbon copy of Paradise, so the similarities did not put me off.
There's good sexual tension between these two. There is a bodyguard trope going on, too, which I enjoyed. I was a little worried at first, since I Axe liked to visit the sex club. I thought this was going to be some kind of BDSM thing, but thankfully it wasn't. The sexual dynamic was just right.
The HEA was a little rushed in the end, but I was still satisfied. I wish Ward would continue the main Black Dagger Brotherhood series in the same vein that she is doing these. Especially since Xcor and Layla's book is finally coming. I will keep my fingers crossed that I enjoy that as much as I did this.

Celebrity Contagion And RFID-Enhanced Curiosity
Technology allows celebrity fans a new way to engage with the stars.
A new pop up charity store in London is stocked entirely with celebrity donations. And new digital technology adds an extra element of excitement into the mix for starstruck bargain hunters
35 of the items are tagged with RFID tags. Upon scanning the RFID tag with our Reader, a video tale pops up on screens in the shop, told by the person who donated the item.
The behaviour of those struck with fandom is often irrational and is noted as being especially powerful when there is an element of 'celebrity contagion' so there's no doubt that this store will do good business. However by allowing customers to interact with the backstory of a celebrity object while in store this curiosity shop adds a whole new dimension to the customer experience

New Orleans
Prof. John Kessler of Texas A&M University Oceanography department has just returned from a fact finding research visit to the Gulf of Mexico with alarming news. Methane concentrations near the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill are I Million times expected. Oxygen depletion in the waters of the Gulf will grow the dead zones and the seas in the vicinity will become rancid, adding to the utter mess that BP's catastrophe has brought to the area.
Tony Hayward, BP's hapless CEO, should do the honorable thing and resign. He has exhibited incompetent disaster management skills and has told lies at a time when transparency and truth-telling is vital for the global community.
Meanwhile, it is pretty pointless for the GOP and Tea Party zealots to blame Washington for the way this crisis is being 'managed'. As long-time promoters of de-regulation and environmental disregard, they are hypocrites to blame the Federal Government for what's going on right now in the Gulf. True understanding of blame will probably highlight a combination of causation which will include US companies such as Halliburton as well as lacklustre controls at the highest levels within BP.
Its a real wake-up time for the planet right now. The impacts of global climate change are creeping steadily upon the environment: soaring heat in the Middle East, in DC, in the South West, in Africa. Record LOW levels of snow cover in the US in 2010, despite what the idiots at Fox News will say. That outfit is stuffed with dumbed-down, stupid journalists whose concept of science can't even struggle out of the bathtub, let alone grapple with evolution as a principle of probability.
But, let us not forget that we all share a culpability of sorts for the disasters in the Gulf. Each and every one of us in the oil-dependent West must share our own chip of responsibility for this mess, for there would be no need to take risks with the planet if we were all not so inherently greedy for comfort.

Thought I would stop in for a second and post on what I'm sure most of you are already watching.
I for one think there is no way this card will sell for more than $100K. If you review the bids, you get an inkling of who is a joker.
What I did notice though was the S&H. Of course, it is free, but who in their right mind would mail a $100K+ card in the USPS? For that money, the seller better rent a limo and have himself and the card driven to the auction winner's front door step with a case of champagne in tow.

This sketch, and my card, were inspired greatly by this card by Dana. I love it so much, I didn't want to change much... and thus I CASE'd it :)
It's a really lovely sketch, IMHO, so I'm giving you a chance at it too!

Nothing beats traveling with locals
"Visit the Gobi Desert," said my most traveled friend when I told him that I was going to work and live in Mongolia. What famous landmarks are to various countries around the world – like the Statue of Liberty is to America, the Eiffel Tower to France, and the Pyramids of Giza to Egypt, the Gobi Desert is to the Land of the Eternal Blue Sky. What makes this a unique reference of most people to the country is that monuments as associations are usually manmade. The Mongolian Gobi is one of the few in nature that includes the Himalayan mountains of Nepal and the Amazon forest of Brazil.
So even before coming here to Mongolia, I already had my eyes set on traveling to the Gobi Desert – but not my wallet. After cursory research, I found out that the usual way to go to the Gobi is on an organized tour. The place is too far and quite inaccessible so an experienced driver and knowledgeable guide are needed. My initial searches on the Internet showed tours that run for around 1,000 USD per person for a minimum of three people. The price significantly rises if there are no other people available and one person decides to go solo, having his or her own private tour.
That was why I thought that my chances of visiting this natural and national Mongolian monument were getting slim. People say that the best time to visit the Gobi Desert is from spring to July because it is going to be too hot in August, and in fall but until November because it is going to be too cold by December. I got my first salary in February and I was saving about 100 USD a month. So by the time my savings could have reached a thousand, it would have already been after the ideal period of going there. I could not travel during spring or early summer either because I still did not have the budget for it.
But as serendipity would have it, I was actually able to finally visit the Gobi Desert – and I did not have to spend 1,000 USD for it, even if I had already saved up the money. Some of my Mongolian friends from work invited me to go there with them during the long holiday weekend of the Naadam Festival. The plan was to leave UB at 5 or 6 pm and drive to the province of South Gobi, arriving the next day. They rented a van with the husband of one of them driving. It so happened that he used to be a tour bus driver, so capable hands were on the wheel and we got to our destination without the help of any map.
I must admit that the road trip was very long, but I spent a lot of time just looking out the window in awe of what I saw. It is no wonder the Mongolia is also called the Land of the Eternal Blue Sky, because I have seen an endless expanse of desert meeting the clouds above it. I was born in an archipelago so I did see never-ending horizons particularly from the coast. But to have a similar view without any body of water was really something very beautiful and totally unforgettable for me. Most organized tours fly from UB to the nearest airport to get to the south of the country. I am sure glad that I didn't join one.
Upon our arrival in the province of South Gobi, we were greeted by a friend of my friends who was also their colleague. She left to pursue her own business, so she and her family uprooted themselves from UB and planted their life again in her and her husband's hometown. Upon her invitation, we went inside the family ger where she and her daughter served us hot milk tea and warm homemade "buuz" for lunch. It was not because I was hungry since my friends and I were busily munching on junk food en route to the desert, but everything was really tasty. Inside their home, I could not help but look everywhere as it was my first time in an actual ger. I have been inside the gers in The 13th Century Complex which were mere reproductions. So to be in a real one was such a treat for me.
We spent the rest of the afternoon there, resting from the long and arduous trip. When the sun was about to set and our "driver" was still sound asleep, I was asked by our lovely host if I could drive the van to the water station to collect some water with her son. I definitely obliged, and it was so much fun filling all sorts of containers with water, placing them inside the vehicle, and carrying them back to the ger. It turned out that she and her family were also planning to travel with us to visit the different sights in the Gobi Desert. Apparently, she and her husband have already been to those places but that was a very long time ago when they were still single. So the couple wanted to revisit these places together and especially now that they have three children.
So for dinner, "Horhog" was on the menu. I saw a dead goat hanging by its throat on one side of the fence and, at second glance, the host's husband was all ready to torch the animal in order for its fur to be easily removed. At the same time, he had some stones placed with the burning coal to give them the much needed heat to help cook the meat. To make a long story short, I witnessed how every Mongolia's favorite dish was prepared and cooked, from start to finish. After a hearty meal, it was time to play cards and drink vodka. When it was time to sleep, our hosts were even more than gracious to offer us their sofa and bed. But we politely refused and did not mind just sleeping on the ger floor.
Organized tours to the Gobi Desert include sleeping in a ger, but I am not aware of any one of them that lets you have a feel of what it is truly like to live in one particularly with experiencing the day-to-day activities of ordinary Mongolians like fetching water, eating with a typical Mongolian family, and doing the washing up without running water. The next morning (and very early it was), we set out on our Gobi Desert adventure – Gobi Gurvan Saikhan National Park and its wildlife, the Red Flaming Cliffs of Bayanzag with its dinosaur eggs, Yolim Am with the still frozen part of its river in summer, and Khongoriin Els with its "singing" sand dunes.
Before setting out to this amazing desert, my only concern was that I would miss the Naadam celebration in Ulaanbaatar. But after almost three days exploring the Gobi with my Mongolian friends – old and new, the end of our trip was a visit to Oyu Tolgoi's own Naadam festivities in Khanbogd Soum. And there I saw for myself The Three Manly Games of wrestling, archery, and horse racing – like I was in Ulaanbaatar, but only better because I was in a spectacular setting in the company of even more spectacular people. And how much did this almost week-long trip in the Gobi Desert with locals cost? Less than 200 USD, and this is no typographical error.

Strengthen Your Relationship
The greatest thing in my life is being married to my wife. It gave us our son and it gives us a life together.
Something to live for everyday, that's what a relationship is really about. But, like anything in this world, you can't just keep taking out without putting back in.
Never take your relationship for granted. That is a big mistake that people can easily let themselves make without even realizing they are doing it.
This world is so demanding. It can take our focus away from the relationship as well as totally drain us of energy to even think of our partner sometimes.
We are tired and don't think clearly and may even have a short temper when we shouldn't. And we just don't have any time.
Well, it's time we make time! Make time for the most important thing in your life.
Love is perhaps our most powerful emotion, and the need to be in a loving relationship may be one of the strongest needs we have. When our hearts are filled with love, we feel profoundly content and satisfied. It connects us with the world at large.
I would offer these suggestions:
5 Ways To Strengthen Your Relationship
- Be friends
- Stay connected
- Get physically intimate
- Celebrate each other
- Fight well (since disagreements are inevitable, keep it real short and calm)

A man whose hobbies were so numerous he needed to work at a hobby shop, Andre "Andy" Anderson of Portland, Ore., loved trains so much he worked for a tourist railroad and played with small-scale live steam engines.
Anderson died in his sleep July 30, 2015, at age 56 from a heart attack; he is survived by his wife of 29 years, Barbara, and two sisters.
The owner/operator of a semi-truck for 15 years with no accidents, Anderson also worked at Tammies Hobbies in Beaverton, Ore. "He could get you what you wanted at a good price," said his friend, live steamer Ron Bacon. Additionally, Anderson worked for the tourist railway, the Connecticut Valley Railroad of Essex, Conn., was the operator of a hot-air balloon and piloted radio-controlled model airplanes.
Anderson was an active member of the Rose City Garden Railway Society in Portland and was in charge of setting up and breaking down the group's modular display for public showings, such as the Expo Train shows. Anderson also helped out at Staver Locomotive in Portland and was always a participant in the twice-yearly steamups.
"Andy loved to tell his stories of his truck-driving adventures and working for the railroad," said Ron. "He was liked by all that knew him. We have lost such a good friend of our hobby and he will be missed by everyone who knew him."

In many apartment homes pets are allowed but it remains to be seen how well received the pet is among the other apartment owners. If the pet is foul tempered and barks at everyone, people are bound to complain and you might find yourself outside the apartment complex soon, hunting for a new place.
Keep your pet active
If you are unable to provide your pet adequate exercise, the pet might not be well behaved with others. A pet who is exercised and active will remain more social. For that reason, setting a routine of taking the pet to parks for exercise or for a walk is important.
Help the pet to socialize
It is important that the pet is comfortable around people. If you have friends who come over regularly, let them know the pet and allow the pet to be friendly with them. One could also get a sibling pet so that the two can play with each other.
Train it well
It is necessary that the dog is well trained and that has to come from the owner. It is necessary to teach the dog how to refrain from barking loudly by rewarding it when it stops barking. Excess energy needs to be channelized towards toys and chew bones so that the dog is calm when it meets strangers.
These are some ways one can ensure that a dog remains well behaved when living in an apartment home with strangers in close proximity.

I think that the shutdown event tracker came in in Server 2003, and I'm sure that in some data centres it is a very useful tool for logging why servers were manually shut down.
On a demo system, it tends to be a nuisance. Hyper-v, for example, disables Sleep and hibernate so if you have it on a laptop you have to shutdown if you're going to be on the move for any length of time. If you're asked Why ? every time it grates pretty quickly.
Some time ago I found how to disable it, and I was setting up a new build in the office a few days ago when a passing colleague said "I never knew how to do that… you should blog it".
It's simple enough, you can control it through group policy if the machine is a domain, or via the local group policy object. In the latter case start the MMC and load the Group policy Snap-In and point it to the Local Computer.
Once you can see the network or local policy , navigate to Computer Configuration, then to Administrative templates, then to System. In the system container there are a number of sub-containers, scroll down past those and you'll find some settings, you're looking for "Display Shutdown Event Tracker". You can set it to Enabled, and display Always, on workstations only, or on Servers Only. Or you can set it to disabled. If the setting is not present it seems to be enabled/Servers Only by default.
Once it is disabled. the dialog disappears . Job done.

Simply a fine Chinese iftar at Hakkasan, Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi
Iftar, a time for people to sit together and break their fast. like many things these days, it has taken on a new meaning, with elaborate buffets offering a wasteful selection of dishes which in the dn gets thrown away. There is so much irony in the way most iftars are presented. However, as was the case last year, there is a growing number of restaurants, especially the independents who are creating magical set menus for iftars that offer, more than anything, great value. Hakkasan is one of those. I recently tried their Iftar sneak preview as part of a media invitation.
Reasons to be excited about Hakkasan's Iftar
1. The Terrace.
Notwithstanding the fact that it becoming hot, the view from the terrace, covering the gardens at Emirates Palace to the lights and steel down Corniche road makes it a great way to start your iftar. We had a signature iftar mocktail on the terrace before heading inside. On a side note, if you prefer less pomp and ceremony, park at the back of Hakkasan and avoid the hotel entrance. It really leads to a more relaxed feel as you enter the restaurant.
A mini Best of Hakkasan at a cut price
Hakkasan is an extraordinary restaurant with some exceptional dishes. However, it does not come cheap. For anyone who has been intimidated by the prices, this is the ideal chance to ease into the experience that is Hakkasan and be dazzled by the dishes. The menu shows what a great deal this is. This is pretty much what the big buffets cost and there are merits to the big buffet in terms of variety and dishes that have a definite Arabic nature to them, but can that outweigh the waste at the end? Also, a dish prepared while you are waiting cannot be beaten by a dish sitting in a buffet for an hour.
Remember, less is definitely more.
Don't expect Chinese dishes with an Arabic twist and kitschy iconography to show the period you are in. On the other hand, a very nice little touch is the use of the Hakkasan dessert and Afternoon tea stand to carry a few dates, dried fruit and nuts for those who are actually breaking their fast. The rest of the menu is 100% Hakkasan.
The Peking duck is the best I have had in the city and as someone who lived in China for 3 years, I am a bit of a stickler when it comes to duck. It is quite a substantial menu for the price. You may think the Peking Duck is the highlight but for me it was actually two of the main dishes - the superb Five spices Wagyu short ribs and the Seasonal vegetables. Firsty, the Wagyu. Slow cooked, so tender, and not chewy at all. Secondly, the spices. If used without discretion, Five spices can easily ruin a dish. But not tonight. Then, the vegetables. Perfectly but briefly wok-cooked, so it is still crunchy. The lowly vegetable turned out to be one of the two best dishes.
Hakkasan's Iftar is in keeping with the restaurant's core philosophy of high quality dishes with the finest ingredients resulting in dishes that should have the power to take the guest to China either for the first time or allow others to relive their visits. Through this iftar experience, guests will have this but be amazed at the accesible price. But the latter is achieved without a drop in quality. It is still very much Hakkasan.

Bio: Birth Place: Czech Republic
John is just the kind of man that women dream of, tall, handsome and incredibly muscular; his tattoos scattering his muscular frame adding to that manly appearance. What a man he is too! He loves nothing more than taking control of his woman, using his thick hands to pleasure his womans body and making sure he attends to every need she has. As much as he loves pleasing his woman, women tell us how much they love pleasing this man, taking their time to enjoy every inch of his body over and over again.

Today, the old Carnegie Library houses the county's historical society and museum.
As Carnegie said, "The[ libraries] only help those that help themselves. They never pauperize. They reach the aspiring, and open to these the chief treasures of the world—those stored in books. A taste for reading drives out lower tastes." Despite not funding their share of the library, the people of Middlesboro did want the facility [PDF of letters by citizens to Carnegie, compiled by J.

We also profile the greatest concert halls built in the past decade – see our Gallery View for more details – with contributions from Esa-Pekka Salonen and Michael Tilson Thomas.
Composer John Rutter writes the Diary, the Session Report catches up with Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic as they record Rachmaninov, we look at works by Sir Lennox Berkeley from the 1940s in the Specialist Guide, and delve into recent changes and events in our News Analysis.
And of course we unveil our selection of the best new releases of the month (you can listen to excerpts in the Gramophone Player) – read reviews of all these and many, many more recordings, written by the finest critics.
