Today, the most commonly employed treatments for uterine fibroids are hysterectomy, myomectomy and UFE. Hysterectomy and myomectomy are performed by gynecologists while UFE, HIFU and percutaneous ablation are performed by interventional radiologists. Therefore, in a women with uterine fibroids, treatment options should ideally be discussed by a team of radiologists and gynecologists and the ideal treatment must be chosen for each patient by this team. If this is not possible, then an interventional radiologist who is experienced in nonsurgical fibroid treatments must always be consulted, especially if a radical operation like hysterectomy is recommended.
The following factors must be taken into consideration before deciding on the ideal treatment for uterine fibroids:
The number of fibroids is one of the most important criteria in the determination of the treatment type. If the patient has a single fibroid and this explains her symptoms, this fibroid can possibly be removed with myomectomy and the problem will be solved by sparing the uterus. But this is not seen very often, because fibroids are generally multiple. In such patients, the higher the number of fibroids, the more difficult it will be to remove all of them, the more blood will be lost during the operation and the more likely an emergency hysterectomy will be necessary. Besides, sometimes it may be impossible to know which of the fibroids are causing the patient's symptoms. In such cases, if the surgeon insist on myomectomy, the success rates may become lower and another operation may become necessary (this time usually hysterectomy) if the patient still has symptoms after myomectomy. By contrast, in such patients, all the fibroids can be easily and successfully treated with UFE by preserving the uterus (picture). The number of fibroids does not affect the way UFE is performed. UFE is performed exactly the same way in a patient with a single fibroid and in another with numerous fibroids. This is the most important advantage of UFE over other uterus sparing treatments such as myomectomy, HIFU and percutaneous ablation, in which, each fibroid have to be treated individually. In conclusion, in patients who has multiple fibroids, UFE should be the first line treatment.
Another important criterion for treatment decision of uterine fibroids is their location. In general, UFE is effective in all fibroids regardless of their location in the uterus. However, fibroids growing outward (subserosal) or into the cavity (submucosal), particularly if they have a small connection with uterus (pedinculated), may detach after the embolization and cause pain. By contrast, such fibroids can be removed with laparoscopic or histeroscopic myomectomy relatively easily since they have a weak connection with the uterus. Thus, in pedinculated subserosal or submucosal fibroids, myomectomy should be the first line treatment.
For optimal use of these criteria, the number and locations must be demonstrated accuretely. The most commonly used imaging methods to demonstrate fibroids are ultrasound and MRI. Ultrasound is cheap, easy to use and more widely available. However, MRI is clearly superior to ultrasound in imaging uterine fibroids; it can show both the number and location of fibroids much better, differentiate the live, degenerated and dead fibroids and demonstrate other pathologies that may coexist with or mimic fibroids such as adenomyosis and endometriosis. For this reason, it is extremely important that all fibroid patients undergo a "contrast enhanced pelvic MRI" before any treatment decision is made.
If a patient with fibroids is diagnosed to have a biopsy-proven cancer in her uterus or ovaries, then the ideal treatment is hysterectomy and oopherectomy (removal of ovaries). Likewise, if a patient with fibroids has also a familial tendency for ovarian cancer, then her ovaries and sometimes her uterus can also be surgically removed. And finally, if a patient with fibroids is considered very likely to have uterine or ovarian cancer based on her symptoms and MRI or PET-CT findings, she may undergo hysterectomy and oopherectomy.
However, apart from these rare situations, it is scientifically not approved to perform hysterectomy in an otherwise normal fibroid patient just to protect her from an ovarian or uterine cancer that might develop in the future. Because, a number of studies have proven that in patients who underwent hysterectomy, the probability of coronary heart disease is increased about 3 times, and even much more if the ovaries are also removed during hysterectomy. In a patient of reproductive age, the possibility of death from an ovarian or uterine cancer is less than 1% for the rest of her life, while that from cardiovascular disease is roughly 50%. Thus, in a usual patient with fibroids, hysterectomy/oopherectomy does not increase life expectancy, instead, it is very likely to shorten it by increasing the probability of cardiovascular disease. In fibroid patients who undergo hysterectomy, additional problems may also be seen including osteoporosis, bone fractures, dementia, depression and psycosexual disorders. For these reasons, excluding a small group of patients with proven or highly probable uterine or ovarian cancer, hysterectomy must be avoided whenever possible in the treatment of uterine fibroids.
Among the treatment options for fibroids, hysterectomy eliminates the possibility of pregnancy permanently and therefore, should not be recommended to fibroid patients who want to be pregnant in the future. In patients who wish to preserve fertility, current treatment options include embolization, myomectomy, HIFU and percutaneous ablation. Among them, the most commonly employed treatments are embolization and myomectomy. Both treatments have advantages and also disadvantages in fibroid patients who want future pregnancy. In a recent study, pregnancy rates after embolization have been found similar. Thus, in fibroid patients who wants pregnancy, any of these two treatments can be recommended depending on the fibroid number and size, and the preference of the patient or doctor. However, it must always be remembered that pregnancy depends on multiple factors and no treatment for fibroids can guarentee pregnancy even if it was performed successfully.
In many fibroid patients, more than one treatment option may be suitable. In this situation, the physician must inform the patient on the advantages and limitations of each treatment option and let the patient decide about the fate of an organ that belongs to her own body.

text: A few weeks ago on my way driving back from a bathtub-grotto demonstration at the Antique Spectacular Show in Cedar Falls I spotted a stunning construction on the front lawn of an old farm house of Highway 20 while passing through the tiny town of Earlville, Iowa. Somehow I had driven past this house countless times over the past 5 years or so and never noticed it until now. I left a note in the mailbox asking for more information about the grotto and eventually received calls back from the creator's niece and nephew. They informed me that their aunt Catherine had created 7 large grottoes like the one I saw in addition to 900 small grottoes made from cans of ham! This was thrilling news to me because I had purchased a ham-can grotto from Goodwill years ago and despite my best efforts had been unable to find any clues about it's origins. In fact, the little grotto was a major catalyst for my project in the first place, and helped me to connect with my project partner, Tracy, who also owned a ham can grotto. (note: I have been unable to find any of the additional large grottoes, and they may not still be in existence. ) I hope to follow up with the family and potentially do a filmed interview.

Ideal Leather Satchel Vintage Briefcase for Men
R. Thomas on 16-Sep-2019
There were no problems with ordering and shipping.
Was disappointed with this bag. I realize there are color variations in leather, however the color I received is nothing like what I ordered and the butterscotch color the pictures depicts. Mine is an unattractive dull grayish brown. The leather straps are also a very thin 2 mm thickness. If they are accidentally snagged on something, the likelihood of them tearing or pulling out of the rivet is pretty high. All the seams are single stitched with a light thread. This is not made to last. Save your money and shop at the Duluth Trading Company. You'll pay $30.-$50. More for a similar item but the quality will be much better and you'll be able to see it before buying it. I cannot recommend this item.

Hi beautiful,
I hope you're not sitting there today full of regret because you've over eaten Halloween candy. If you are, don't be hard on yourself, you're not alone. I was once there. Halloween, Easter, Christmas, any holiday I would eat candy until I was sick or almost sick. I would eat every last bit of candy I collected, finish the entire Easter basket and then feel horribly guilty about it.
The amazing thing is that there is another way to live besides being tempted by candy when it's around. I don't even know how many years it's been since I became an Intuitive Eater and I also can't remember the last time I had candy on Halloween or Easter.
Even at my old office Halloween party I passed on the candy bowl after becoming an intuitive eater. I now leave my Easter candy at my parents house because I don't want it, not out of force.
You might be wondering how that's possible?? There are two major differences between "being healthy" and being an intuitive eater that make things easier.
1. It's not about willpower, it's about listening to what your body wants.
So, if Halloween falls on a day that I'm craving sweets then I would have candy, but that hasn't happened yet. Most of my sweet cravings disappeared after I became an Intuitive Eater.
2. The majority of the time you eat what feels good or nourishing for your body and a little might be just enough.
So that means, you'll have 1 or 2 pieces instead of 10. When we have rules about eating, or feel guilty about eating certain foods, 1-2 isn't enough because your guilt kicks in... "Oh well, I"ve already had two, may as well keep going" ... or ... "ugh what is wrong with me, I can't just go a day without having candy or have candy sitting in front of me and not eat it".... and then you get upset, emotional, and all you want is the candy to feel better.
It's a vicious cycle! So if you're hung over from Halloween candy, bring some self-compassion, know that it's okay, and today is a new day. Your body now wants something else.... even if your mind or the guilt is making you want more candy...
What would make your body feel best right now?
Protein is a good option for balancing your blood sugar today so that the sugar hang over goes away as quickly as possible!
P.S. If this sounds like you and you're ready to shift something, I have the perfect program for you! Check it out! This program is now all available online to do in the comfort of your own home.

Amazingly, this makes NBC News' D+11 poll seem even more absurd.
PRINCETON, NJ — Democrats are significantly less likely now (39%) than they were in the summers of 2004 and 2008 to say they are "more enthusiastic about voting than usual" in the coming presidential election. Republicans are more enthusiastic now than in 2008, and the same as in 2004.

Beyonce is one of the most illusive acts with such massive fame in our culture today. What do we know about the singer? We know her husband, Jay-Z. We know she's been around for 15 years and ruled over Destiny's Child in that time. We know she's an advocate of girl power, (see "Single Ladies," "Run This World (Girls)" and the majority of B'Day). Other than that not much is known for sure. Beyonce has avoided the media's glare more than any of her contemporaries, Britney, Christina, and Rihanna have all had invasions of privacy. Their personalities are also more known in the public sphere, Beyonce has remained silent, other than her music, killer voice, and flawless dancing.
This is Beyonce's 4th album, the singer has 2 identities that were clearly shown on I Am… Sasha Fierce; the love-hungry balladeer, and the dance diva. Just look at her past works: "Crazy in Love" is a Dance Diva, so is the majority of B'Day and half of I Am… Then there's the balladeer, the lover of love, the girl singing sweet R&B on the second half of her debut Dangerously in Love, and in full force for much of her new album, 4.
Beyonce is a married women, has financial freedom, and is on the verge of 30. So what does one sing about when in such a blissful state? It's hard to be a sexual as Britney, who is in a relationship but not labelled as married, can't be insane like Lady Gaga belting about "Government Hookers," but who wants to hear about domestic bliss? It's a tricky subject to tackle while holding onto the public's attention. 4 is moderately successful at tackling this predicament. Beyonce sounds comfortable, not yearning or attempting to prove herself, that's already been well accomplished. She can now relax, reflect on life, on her love, and on what she wants to listen to.
4 is an album that shows her growth and maturity, a women deeply in love, a women confident in her voice and ability to not follow trends, and a women who knows where she came from, with clear references to Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Prince, while still seeing new inspirations with Diplo, Empire of the Sun, and Frank Ocean. So that is the idea of the album, the theme and way it should be regarded.
4 has the right concept, but sometimes falls flat and may have Beyonce lose some listeners in the process. The album does have it's misses, "I Was Here" is a boring Celine Dion meets Ryan Tedder snooze with Beyonce aging herself with such a lyrical subject. "Rather Die Young" is a little too polished in 90's R&B to seem like a reference, but instead a B-Side to an actual song. The rest of the song's have their advantages and little flaws at times. "Party" can be dull even with Kanye and Andre for instance, but is still a smooth, chill, summer track.
Highlights include "1+1," a genius Prince ode that will go down as one of Beyonce's best. "I Miss You" truly has a sense of loneliness that is full of authenticity. The run of "Love On Top," "Countdown," and "End of Time" is brilliant, with clear nods to Michael, Whitney, a BoyzIIMen sample, and a Diplo production. So for every snoozer, there is something completely unexpected and clever. Beyonce has made the step into legend category now, she's stopped trying to prove herself and now must rely on her vocal gifts and ability to reflect her personality and self on her records with sincerity. 4 is a step in the right direction for Beyonce to continue to release classic albums for years to come.

University of Miami
This former Miami Hurricanes star is back on an NFL roster — for at least one week
Brad Kaaya is back on an NFL roster for at least one week.
After spending most of the 2017 season on the Detroit Lions' practice squad, the former star quarterback from the University of Miami and NFL rookie signed with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday night, as first reported by NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Kaaya will be part of the Colts' active roster heading into the team's regular-season finale against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
This marks Kaaya's third team in just his first season in the NFL.
The Lions selected Kaaya in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft but ultimately cut him at the end of the preseason. He landed with the Carolina Panthers a day later and stayed on the Panthers' roster for the first six weeks of the season.
The Panthers waived Kaaya on Oct. 17, after which the Lions re-signed him and placed him on the practice squad one week later. He remained there for the past nine weeks.
And now, with the final week of the regular season looming, Kaaya is with the Colts and will serve as Jacoby Brissett's backup.
During his three seasons at the University of Miami, Kaaya threw for a school-record 9,968 yards with 69 touchdowns to 24 interceptions. The Hurricanes went 23-15 with Kaaya at quarterback, including a 9-4 record in his junior season before he opted to go pro.

The Escapist initiated the landing sequence as the ship began its rapid descent into the stratosphere, his neurochemical link to the spacecraft's control systems making this nearly reflexive.
"Welcome to my world, Jack. Glad you could join the party."
The voice of the Beast crackled in his audio receptors sounding as if he were a game-show host speaking offscreen; his tone exuding an untoward friendliness and familiarity.
"I have the Amaryllis with me."
"The actual item? I'm impressed. Whole armies have been slain, eviscerated by the Negative whose sole task was to guard it unto eternity."

Do behaviours matter?
Throughout our interactions with organisations we find we are continually talking about what culture they are trying to build, trying to understand and measure or how they can shape the culture they need to sustain organisational effectiveness into the future.
What do we mean by culture? It is created through the messages team members receive about what is valued by the organisation.
This is best described if we consider firstly, what the organisation is trying to achieve in terms of business outcomes and financial results and the way they approach their interactions with their customers.
The other important building block in terms of culture is the organisational belief systems, how team members feel about being part of the organisation and how this plays out in the way the treat each other and their customers.
The key messages about what is valued are influenced through the systems and symbols that underpin the day-to-day operations. These include the approach to budgeting and planning, performance review/reward systems, what is measured and how it is tracked, how the organisation is structured as well as what is reported and when. Some of the key symbols that play an important role in determining organisational culture are how budgets are allocated, where time is spent, where people sit and how they are treated, who is allocated car parking and the organisation's approach to flexible working hours.
However, if we truly want to understand what is "valued around here" - then behaviours do matter. We build an organisational culture by paying attention to the way we treat each other, what is role modelled by organisational leaders and how we interact with our internal and external customers.
It is through behaviour that we set standards and build trust. Leadership is important at every level. Team members need to be empowered to make decisions and supported when they do so. Managers need to understand that they set the standards every day, it is as much about what they don't do as it is about what they do. Not addressing poor behavior sends strong messages to team members about "what is accepted around here".
Organisations need to focus on behavior in order to truly understand the messages that are being conveyed, both formally and informally. It is important they understand where they are at, what they need to keep doing or what they need to do differently in order to achieve the business outcomes that will facilitate their future success.

Drugs in sport will continue to tarnish the reputation of sporting groups and their athletes – such is their desire to be the best. The Lance Armstrong scandal has been a classic case. The consequences are lethal to sporting careers and reveal human failings that reflect the deadly sins – greed and pride.
We havee seen former Australian cyclists Matt White and Stephen Hodge dragged into the tour mess and they were promptly sacked. Are they scapegoats of an elaborate, complex plot that touched most riders of the cycling tour?
Something is rotten in the footy codes and this is a crisis. What percentage of footballers are playing on injections? And how often has organised crime infiltrated our sports in a bid to control results?
While sports scientists explore better ways to find the edge in sports performance, the reality is that drug use is an option to help athletes recover, and stimulate the growth and recovery of muscles for more power and sustained effort. There is no doubt that boundaries are pushed – all the time.
There will always be a temptation for sports managers – and athletes – to cut corners and this has been proven time and time again. While the Essendon drugs investigation has rocked the AFL and Australian sport, it highlights that Australian fans expect a clean contest.
Australian athletes take great pride in competing with integrity, after a long period of hard work, toughness and careful skill development. But how many are athletes blind to illegal practices? How many are being injected illegally or taking substances orally without their knowledge?
We have seen many success stories at international-level sport, plus AFL, where athletes have shown an amazing level of work ethic to achieve great results. There are clean Australian athletes – I know that for sure, during my time working in sports science and journalism.
Australians deplore cheating. In fact, fans are critical of elite athletes when they are proven to be drug cheats. This has infuriated clean Aussies at Olympic and world championship level, who have been vocal opponents of drug cheats while they toil for a taste of glory through legitimate methods.
But the sad reality is drugs have become part-and-parcel of sport because of the status (and the waiting gold pot) of winning. It is no surprise that drugs, used for hormone replacement and to improve recovery and soreness, have been used in the AFL. Why?
Try running half a marathon every week on the footy field, while getting knocked from pillar to post, and then getting up again each week, displaying flashes of brilliance. It's what is expected of these athletes who play the most demanding sport in the world.
The physical and mental strain these footballers carry is something that spectators don't fathom – only if they walk in their shoes. The mental and physical trauma of elite sport is hidden and this is why the issues become major problems. Ask any broken AFL player how tough it is – and he will reveal the depth of his pain. It's no surprise that illicit drug use is widespread in our own backyard.

Prop. 3 is good for
Santa Clara County
Voting for Proposition 3 will help improve our long-term drought preparedness, provide safe drinking water, and repair Oroville and other dams to keep people safe and hold more water. Additionally, it will improve water quality in groundwater, rivers, lakes and streams, watershed restoration, fish and wildlife habitat conservation and have many other important benefits.
Many of these benefits will directly accrue to Santa Clara County. This is the main reason the Santa Clara Valley Water District voted unanimously to support Proposition 3.
Yes, there are problematic components to Proposition 3. Most odious is an aqueduct repair giveaway to big corporate farmers who wastefully export our water overseas in the form of exported produce.
But voters should not let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and they should join The Nature Conservancy, Audubon Society and Ducks Unlimited and support Proposition 3.

BOSTON – State Sen. Brian Joyce needs to "think long and hard" about whether he can continue to be an effective senator in light of a federal law enforcement raid at his law offices Wednesday, the top Republican in the Massachusetts Senate said Thursday.
"As for Sen. Joyce, I think he needs to spend some time thinking about whether or not he can continue to effectively represent the people in his district and serve with his colleagues in the Senate with this kind of situation ongoing," Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester, said. "That's a decision I think he needs to spend some time on."
Joyce, a Milton Democrat who has served in the Senate since 1998, has been the subject of media reports questioning his use of campaign funds and influence as an elected official to benefit his legal practice, and last month entered a settlement to resolve questions raised by state campaign finance officials. Joyce has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
Federal Bureau of Investigation and Internal Revenue Service agents raided Joyce's Canton law offices on Wednesday. A spokeswoman for the FBI Boston office on Wednesday confirmed the agency was "conducting court-authorized activity" at Joyce's offices, but declined further comment due to the nature of the ongoing investigation.
Joyce's State House office was locked midday Thursday and there was no response to repeated knocks. After the News Service inquired about whether Joyce's office would be open Thursday, a spokesman for Senate President Stanley Rosenberg said he had called the office and it was open.
The lone person in Joyce's office at about 3:15 p.m. was a Senate page who had been directed by Rosenberg's office to staff Joyce's office and field phone calls.
"In conversations with our office, it was decided a page would be manning the phones over there," Rosenberg spokesman Peter Wilson said. "It's not uncommon at all in the Senate. The pages do a bunch of different stuff including answering phones and fielding constituent services requests."
Wilson said he did not know why Joyce's staff was not at the senator's State House office Thursday. Messages left at Joyce's district office – which has the same address as his law offices – were not immediately returned Thursday afternoon.
Tarr, who sits on the Senate Committee on Ethics, said having that committee conduct its own investigation into the facts surrounding Joyce would make "not much practical sense" given that at least two federal investigatory agencies are already on the case.
Tarr, who has served in the Senate since 1995, joined Gov. Charlie Baker as high-ranking elected Republicans who declined to echo Massachusetts Republican Party Chairwoman Kirsten Hughes, of Quincy, who called for Joyce to resign immediately.
"I do think that the Ethics Committee needs to be ready to act on whatever the investigation uncovers, if in fact it is actionable," Tarr told reporters in his office, which is directly across the hall from Joyce's. "Again, this is very serious. The federal government does not undertake investigations of this nature lightly and the fact that they are involved is cause for deep concern. But right now we don't have much to go on in terms of forming an opinion or being able to develop a course of action."
Tarr said he is "always concerned when people turn on their television and see a raid of a state senator's office," and is concerned that the questions surrounding Joyce could taint the reputation of the Legislature's upper chamber.
"I would urge the people that are conducting this investigation to realize the tremendous impact it has on the civic life of this commonwealth and the operations of the Senate and encourage them to complete their work in an expeditious and a thorough manner so then we can decide what the prudent course of action is following the completion of the investigation," Tarr said. "And that may well be separate and distinct from whatever consequences flow from the investigation itself by the IRS, the FBI and the Department of Justice."
The minority leader said he has not spoken with Joyce but described him as "very professional" and "very proficient in his understanding of the law," as well as someone who "does not undertake any action, in the Senate or otherwise, lightly."

The iphone may be the latest in technology for intelligent phones. With applications downloadable for just about every little thing, there's not substantially your iphone can not do. Among the biggest grievances with regards to the apple iphone has actually been that it's a locked cellular phone. What this means is that if you provide the iphone it'll only get the job done with AT&T on their network; a few skilled people have managed to unlock the apple iphone, making it perform as well with the T-Mobile network. Rumor has it that soon the company will come out with an unlocked apple iphone, allowing users on all networks to have access to the engineering.
Unlocking the apple iphone will exponentially increase the number of customers. It has long been announced that Verizon is about to open up their network for the iphone. Verizon is estimated to pull in anywhere from 5 to 11 million dollars its first year. The customers that the apple iphone, as well as Verizon's reputation for outstanding coverage, will draw in, is actually a potentially catastrophic for other cellular telephone providers.
It seems that there is an application for almost anything you wish to do on the iphone, from light sabers to levels, fires to movies, and now for all your photography needs. In the event you are tired of a tiny lens with mediocre quality photos, then the new DSLR camera might be for you. A DSLR lens may now be attached directly to the apple iphone 4. To attach the lens to the camera you can purchase the mechanism, or you can simply do it yourself. There are plenty of places online that will gladly teach you how to take your iphone, a camera lens, and some tape, and put it all together.
They say that the best camera is one particular that you can carry with you; which is what makes the apple iphone perfect for photographers of all levels. For those who simply want to catch a quick memory to share with others the built in iphone camera will do just fine. However, a variety of apps (panoramic shots, close up shots, clearer shops, Photoshop...) will enable any advanced photographer to capture any scene anywhere. Since the iphone is actually a customer's main source of communication to the world, they usually carry it everywhere with them. If your cellular phone is always on you, then it can be always perfectly capable of acting as your camera. Attaching a DSLR lens is only the newest development for apple iphone; with a new version being released there are sure to be new apps and advancements developed; especially now that the iphone is slowly being unlocked to the public and picked up by competing networks.

Why you need to visit Egypt, the Red Sea and Jordan
For embarking on a journey through time and for unravelling the fascination of the land of Pharaohs and lost kings, all you need to do is consider discovering Egypt, the Red Sea and Jordan next winter. The highlights of a trip that will unveil the magnificence of these close by destinations are Cairo, Luxor, the Red Sea islands and resort areas, as well as Aqaba, Petra and Wadi Rum. Visiting during winter months is the best period for exploring the region, as you can avoid the heavy heat of the summer with the added advantage of experiencing a summer holiday in December through to March. One way to further enhance this feeling is to choose a cruise around Egypt and Jordan in winter.
The splendours of Egypt
Egypt and its splendours need no introductions. It is known that is a destination that harbours many of the worlds ancient secrets, and enigmatic, awe-inspiring monuments that will take visitors' breath away. Cairo, the city of a thousand minarets, is Egypt's capital and home to numerous landmarks that have graced it with their imposing presence for thousands of years. With the famous river Nile intersecting it, Cairo is one of those unique places that offers a myriad of stimulants. Brimming with countless sites of immense cultural value that are well worth your time as well as colourful markets full of fragrant spices, intricate textiles and intriguing local wares, Cairo is a city that will most definitely enchant you. The Giza Pyramids and Sphinx are, of course, a must see site and are an excellent first item to appear on your Cairo to do list. The collection of the age-old tombs that have been the resting homes of the Pharaohs who instructed their construction around 4500 years ago are truly remarkable. For the braver ones among you, you can opt for tours that entail actually entering the Pyramids. Be prepared to crawl through their passageways on all fours in order to reach the burial chamber. Not recommended for those who are claustrophobic or have shortness of breath, however, for those who do manage to explore the Pyramids from within, the experience will remain etched in your mind for years to come.
Red Sea richness
The Red Sea is a relatively narrow strait of the sea that hides many natural treasures. It is where the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba meet, creating a wonderful marine destination in itself. Boasting some amazing waters with seabeds that are home to numerous reefs and marine life, the Red Sea is definitely an excellent place for diving and snorkelling. Sharm el Sheik and Hurghada are two popular Egyptian resort areas right on the Red Sea's coast, east and west respectively, and are able to offer the exotic holiday that some may be seeking. Around Hurghada, there are various small islands of powdery sand and azure waters, such as Giftun and Gubal islands. One visit there and you will fully comprehend why these are quite popular with tourists and locals alike. Especially if you choose to visit during winter, you can at least avoid the crowds as the majority of locals tend to visit in the summer months. For combining your seaside relaxation with a bit of culture, you can choose an inland excursion to Luxor. South of Hurghada, on the east side of the Nile is where you will find this glorious stone city, built on the site of Ancient Thebes. Striking and imposing, Luxor's two towering Luxor and Karnak Temples will fill you with a sense of absolute awe. On the western side of the Nile, lies the Valley of the Kings, the burial grounds of legions of Pharaohs throughout the ages.
The many wonders of Jordan
Jordan is a place of diversity and wonderment and a place that will definitely charm you. It has vast expansions of sand dunes, natural reserves and seaside resorts, while it is steeped in ancient history that dates back to 300 B.C. The most famous landmark is, of course, Petra, also known as 'Rose city'; however it is not the only site worth visiting. Aqaba, located on the Red Sea coast in the southernmost part of Jordan, is a city of forts and fields, plus the Aqaba Marine Park which is famous for its Yamanieh coral reef. No visit to Jordan is complete without a tour of the archeological site of Petra. It is bound to enchant you with its rock engraved monuments and temples that are skilfully carved into the pink sandstone cliffs. The Wadi Rum desert is also a place that is awe inspiring, and where scenes of the classic movie Lawrence of Arabia were filmed. This is a particularly striking desert, quite different from any other deserts you may have visited. In appearance, it is evidently more dramatic than most; mountains, rock formations, arches, chasms and canyons are all part of the crimson beauty that characterises Wadi Rum.

1st- Fiona
Yes, I'm voting for myself. I think I did a good job trying to come up with an image the matched the theme. Also, it was pretty obvious that I spent the longest time working on my picture, as it was the least sketchy.
2nd- Wigz
I really like the scene. With the lightning and all, I loved it. It had presence.
3rd- Darkreaver
Again, this image had a real story to it. As always, very cool.
Qweck- I really liked your pic, the only weakness was the colour palette you chose. If you add darker, more dynamic colours and shading, you would beef this image up a whole lot!
Astrapho- I really wanted to vote for you, because you did a better job at matching the theme, but the black bull blob was a little too sketchy! Great job, I'd love to see this pic a little tighter.
hopefully talented xD

Astrapho - cool idea, and it matches the theme perfectly.
Fiona - Nice, you really puted a lot of time in your pic i can see that, really nice colors.
Wigz - Nice idea i like it, but it kind doesnt matches the theme as two pics for which i voted above.
"Trying is the only way to sucess"
King of the pond
I'll try to say a word about all the entries and try to come up with my favourites by the end of it.
Akuma-patata: I think you took a subject matter that was way outside of your comfort zone and you had no familiarity with at all. I think you succeeded in portraying what you wanted to portray, but you ought to have spent more time on the piece.
You seem to have used the same brush for all parts of the piece, which was set to 100% opacity at all times. You have a lot of hard edges and monotone colours where gradients should have been in place. This is all understandable since you were only able to spend 2 hours on it, but it also shows. Theme-wise I think you hit the bulls-eye, but it was also very plain with no (obvious) deeper meaning.
Meatloaf: I think this image is a great result for the first time trying a new medium. You have very nice textures and gradients. That said, if you hadn't told me it was a snow tornado I wouldn't have known what it was. I might have thought it would have been a gletsjer, icewall or mountain or something. Theme-wise I can't say you were off the mark, since the subject matter is something of a contradiction, but somehow I find it doesn't completely fit.
Fiona: I think you did a very nice job with the torn sky, the planets and the tree. The color-play is dynamic and gives it an instant good first impression. Once your eye drops down the the rocks however I find the quality of the sky and the rocks clash. In a harsh environment I would expect more point, hard edged rocks in many different layers. Your rocks are a bit too rounded and "soft". A good example would be Wigz's rocky enviro. You also only have only layer / "wall" of rocks which doesn't give it any depth. I do think you managed to capture the theme quite well.
Astropho: This one is quite sketchy. I think you were the right track with the colours and working in some textures and such, but then you seemed to have stopped in the middle of the whole thing. You didn't really define your shapes and I had to read the banner to know what the subject matter really was. I would say that at this point it is technically quite weak, but had a lot of potential. Also theme-wise I think you were on the right track.
Wigz: An incredible image, no way around it. Technically very strong. But I have to agree with what R@ndom-lamb said in his post that you chose the easy route. You either took one unfamiliar element and gave it your all, or you took a familiar one and did a good job. It has a sort of concept-art kind of feel to it, which also means that it still looks a bit unfinished. I would have expected your study of one element to be a finished piece. When it comes to the theme, I think you missed the mark completely. I see nothing peaceful to contradict the chaos going on.
Darkreaver: I find this piece difficult to "grade". I can just say I like it and that you capture something magical. I actually think it's good you did a speedpaint since it puts you on a level where other people's finished pieces can compete with yours. The reason I like this piece best is because of the subject matter. You manage to capture something magical. You created a creature that is new to me, but still has familiar elements. Technically I like the colours, but I can see some issues with the boy, whose legs seem very flat. Theme-wise I'm torn, because I don't really see the contradiction, but I can't deny the feeling there might be something.
So it has come to the vote:
I've kind of "disqualified" Wigz's since I don't see the theme, and astra's because it's so sketchy.
1st: Darkreaver - Because of the feeling it radiates, which is what a piece should really be about: radiating feelings.
2nd: Fiona - Because of the good balance of technical skill and theme portrayed
3rd: Meatloaf - For a job well done with the new medium

Kweck, I totally agree. That's the part I struggled with the most, and it really needs more work. I want to change the whole rock thing to an alien city with more people

Hey guys, we need more people to vote! Get off your arses and vote!
Ugh, fine :P
1- Astrapho: Really simple style, but well done. Your concept was clear and effective, fitting the theme well.
2- Fiona: Technically great, and does fit the theme well. However, I thought the idea was a little predictable (flourishing nature in a harsh climate)
3-Akuma: Not as technically well done, but good effort and good use of the theme. Again, the nature in winter idea was a little predictable yet you made it interesting.
darkreaver, I thought yours was beautiful as always, yet I couldn't see the theme as clearly. Was it the native looking girl in the winter? Or was it the healing/death juxtapox? The winter representing death, old one representing life.
Kweck, I didn't get it :P A blonde with brains, I get that, but why is she naked, and eating the brains, and in a snowy background?
Wigz, yours was neat but as you said, incomplete so there isn't really the theme incorporated.
And I might as well critique my own entry I originally planned to have a small shed and person in the foreground, watching the tornado. Considering my newness to the medium, I just trashed that idea. Because of that it really lacks depth and more importantly, scale. Looking briefly at it, it seems the whole picture is on the same plane basically. On a more positive note, the clouds are rendered pretty decently and the snow drops were fun to flick onto the painting haha. I enjoyed doing it, a nice primer for oil paints.

Seven Crap Hours of Our Lives - Mark Johnson/
A few years ago my son, Sammy, said he wanted to help me write a blog, so he grabbed my computer and typed for a bit. When he handed it back, this is what I saw at the top of the screen: "School is very boring. Here, let me prove to you how boring it is. This is what it stands for - Seven Crap Hours Of Our Lives."
As a principal, this was immediately discouraging. It felt like being that preacher who has that kid who is always getting in trouble and somehow as a parent you should have been able to contain that rebellious spirit. But before you jump to any conclusions or make judgements about my son, let me tell you a little bit about him. First of all, when he wrote this he was a freshman in high school. Secondly, he was a teenager. Thirdly, he thinks he is pretty funny. (Which he gets from me.) Last of all, he really does like school, but only on two conditions.
Condition One:
He has to know that the teacher likes him. This has always been the case for him. He will not try in a class if he feels like the teacher does not care about him. He will sit there, fake attention, not contribute, and give the minimal amount of effort required each day. However, on the flip side, if he knows the teacher does like him, he will go out of his way to prove his worth. He will always be to class on time, he will study hard, he will share this thoughts, and he will share funny stories with me about the class, and about that particular teacher. And this part is key - He will do this even if he doesn't enjoy the subject being taught.
Condition Two:
He likes to be interested in what he is learning. When he was much younger, he had a crazy love for football. He used to collect football cards and read about all the players and watch as much football on TV as possible. Every year at the Scholastic Book Fair, I would buy him all the latest books on the NFL stars. He could rattle off stats about almost any team and player. He didn't even have to try to remember all of this information. It was just fun for him so it came easy for him. That's exactly the way it is for him now. The subjects he likes in school, he devours. He spends extra time trying to learn more about what he is introduced to in his classes. He attacks the content just like he attacked football statistics. However, if he is bored or doesn't care about what he is learning, it's like pulling teeth to get him to study.
In my opinion, one of these conditions is more important than the other. If only "Condition Two" were in place, Sammy's success would depend upon whether or not he liked the subject. Each semester he likes about half of the subjects he is required to take. So with those odds, he would only pass half of his classes. But if only "Condition One" were in place, regardless if he liked the subject, he would still work hard because of the relationship he has with his teacher, and for the respect and care the teacher shows him.
I don't think this is exclusively true for my son. I think many students operate under these conditions. And I think most students are craving teachers who like them. Teachers who don't have favorites, but who genuinely care for each and every one of their students. Teachers who let the students know that no matter what they do or who they are or what their background is, they are a part of the class and part of the school community, and therefore a part of the family.
So if you are that kind of teacher, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Sammy can't wait to get into your class.

If 30 per cent of children fall ill with swine flu as predicted there will not be enough intensive care beds for them, a study has suggested.
Children had been hardest hit by swine flu and are the under fives are the most likely age group to be admitted to hospital with the virus.
All of Britain's 303 intensive care beds for children could be filled with swine flu patients this winter and this would leave no beds available for children suffering other illness, recovering from surgery or accidents, the research said.
The study conducted by Dr Art Ercole, of Cambridge University and colleagues, was published online ahead of the print edition of the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood.
Dr Ercole said over half of admissions to paediatric intensive care units (PICUS) are unplanned and respiratory illness is the second largest cause of admission, accounting for around one in four cases.
The team used the American Centers for Disease Control's model FluSurge to predict likely demand for critical care using estimates from the Department of Health that 30 per cent of children will catch swine flu and from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control recommendations that children stay a minimum stay of five days in intensive care.
They estimated that 3.8 per cent of children under the age of 15 admitted to hospital with swine flu would require intensive care.
They found that if one per cent of children were admitted to hospital it would mean half of the intensive care beds would be needed for swine flu patients. But if two per cent of children were admitted, almost all of them would be needed for swine flu patients, leaving none available for other conditions.
Dr Ercole said: "It seems inevitable that PICUS will experience significant additional pressure this winter from admissions due to the pandemic."
Other experts said pandemic flu planing has been under way for some time.
Prof Robert Dingwall, formerly Director, Institute for Science and Society University of Nottingham and member of Department of Health Committee on Ethical Aspects of Pandemic Influenza, said: "In routine practice, there is less demand for these than for adult intensive care, so fewer beds are needed per head of population. This also means that it is hard to expand services quickly because there is a smaller pool of trained staff.
"However, the NHS has planned for some expansion and should also be able to find extra capacity by moving older children into adult beds and postponing elective surgery.
"The pandemic is also not having a uniform national impact so there will be some scope to move children between different parts of the country depending on local availability of beds, as happens in normal times anyway. None of this will be easy, but it would be quite impossible without a nationally planned and organised health service that has the capacity to co-ordinate local facilities and to ensure that access reflects clinical need."
A spokesman for the Department of Health said: "Latest evidence indicates that the pandemic is unlikely to reach the potential worst case scenarios issued last month. However, we must not underestimate the threat that swine flu still poses.
"Children are particularly at risk, and are more likely to require intensive care treatment if they suffer complications.
"A central part of meticulous NHS planning has been paediatric critical care. As a result, critical care capacity for children can be substantially increased when needed.
"Swine flu doesn't always affect every region in the same way at the same time; so, different regions are geared up to support each other and use one another's facilities where necessary."

Why you should NEVER use absolutes in your writing
In the race to be heard online, communicators employ extreme tactics to attract the eyes and ears of potential audiences. Avoid falling prey to these excesses.
There's nothing worse than sentences that begin, "There's nothing worse than…"
Unless, of course, you're being ironic to illustrate a point; then it's acceptable. Quite brilliant, actually.
In the frenzy to be heard above the online cacophony, many writers resort to absolutes. Rather than strengthening their message, such abuses weaken their credibility—and that's never good.
Here are some absolutes that writers should avoid. (That's avoid, not ban.) Come to think of it, this advice doesn't apply simply to writers. In an oral presentation or even in meaningful conversation, you're probably better off not painting yourself into a linguistic corner.
Always/never (ever). These two provide a good starting point—not the best, perhaps, but good enough—for our discussion. Face it, 999,999 times out of a million is a lot, but it's not always. Adverbs such as almost, nearly, or even seemingly can alloy these terms, which can otherwise be perceived as bellicose or accusatory. "You always…" or, "You never…"
This is a tenet of workplace courtesy, too. "You never sent me that email, Mavis," presupposes that Mavis screwed up or didn't bother. Try instead, "I don't see that email in my inbox, Mavis; please re-send it." Tone is everything. (Well, almost everything.)
One might argue that the sun always rises in the east. An astrophysicist might confidently counter that the sun never rises in the east; it stays put, and Earth does the moving. (This article is, of course, all about quibbling.)
One variation of always is invariably. Tempering that and its cousins seems wise, too.
Best/worst. Often when we use these or other superlative forms (those that usually boast an -est ending), it's a matter of opinion or hyperbole: "Best coffee in town!" or, "That was the worst rendition of 'Afternoon Delight' ever," or, "He is the smarmiest politician in the country."
It can be used to comedic effect, of course. Here's a quote (not mangled, I hope) from George Carlin: "Somewhere in the world is the world's worst doctor. And what's truly terrifying is that someone has an appointment with him tomorrow morning."
I quote someone with whom I have worked as saying, "She exaggerates more than anyone else in history." I'm thinking of having that made into a sampler for the wall of my office.
Anytime (vs. often or sometimes). Anytime you use this word, it conveys the sense of every time. Clearly, that's not the case, though as used in that first sentence, it does carry that implication. Use it sparingly in that way.
Thanks, you say? Anytime.
First/last/ultimate. The first of anything is a milestone. What the first milestone was, I have no idea. In any case, historic "firsts" can be suspect. The first manned flight was achieved by the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk.
Or so we think. Maybe the Vikings had one. Maybe it was breathtaking—until old Vlor Njorddsson flew his machine off the edge of the Earth and his buddies decided to stick with boats, thank you very much.
The last of anything is hard to verify. Did you know, for instance, that the Last of the Mohicans was actually a guy named Jerry? He ran a coffee shop in Altoona, Pa. Little-known fact. You see, one unknown instance of the supposedly last thing might crop up somewhere. Even in Altoona. By the way, Jerry was the first guy ever to put up a sign reading: "Best coffee in town!" You could look it up.
Ultimate means last, of course, but the former has been made into something grandiose. Some people go it one better (or lesser, actually) by using penultimate. They think that means extra-ultimate; it means next-to-last. (I probably should have saved this entry for nearer the end of the article.)
Definite(ly). "I will definitely be there Friday." Come hell or high water. Or a traffic jam, transit strike, or locusts. Or a better offer.
Temper your certainty: "I have my tickets," or, "I have it on my calendar—looking forward to it."
Can't/won't/shouldn't . Circumstances mitigate these verbs. Of course, some circumstances warrant these verbs, too. "I can't/won't/shouldn't put my elbow in my mouth." Just make sure (or as sure as possible) that these terms are warranted.
"I can't drink vodka." Yeah, I bet you could if you tried. The results might not be pretty, but you could open your yap, pour it in, and swallow, I'm guessing. Maybe if it were Absolut…
Nothing/everything. "There's nothing worse than …" (This harkens back to the best/worst entry. It says, in effect, the worst thing in the world is X.)
Nothing is worse than a muffed PowerPoint? Really? Leprosy? How about that? Losing your home or business in a fire? I could go on, but there's nothing worse than beating a dead horse. Except beating a live one; that's much worse. (I like horses.)
It's easy enough to provide perspective: "When giving a PowerPoint presentation, there are few things more distracting than…" and then insert your glitch of choice—an upside-down slide, a zombie apocalypse, whatever.
This, of course, is the full gamut of absolute terms—the alpha-to-omega compendium—so please leave your contributions in the comments section.

On another note, I need to set up some CI stuff so my hardware libraries and bundles maintained separately from #Kaleidoscope proper are tested with new Kaleidoscope pushes. Otherwise I'll end up using things that were removed half a year ago.
Which reminds me, we need a better story for external hardware libs, really.
