House prices have risen in all of the seven largest city markets in Australia, according to the July Housing Market Report from Australian Property Monitors, with Adelaide matching Brisbane, Canberra and the Gold Coast in recording annual growth of between 1 and 2.5%.
APM's senior economist Andrew Wilson says there is increasing buyer activity in the major city markets, buoyed by rising confidence, low interest rates and generally solid economic performance.
"The national housing market has clearly recovered, with the median house price now at $555,657, the highest ever recorded and an increase of $18,037 or 3.4% over the past year," Wilson says.
Perth leads the way, with a 7.7% annual rise, followed by Melbourne (up 3.4%) and Sydney (up 3.2%). Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and the Gold Coast have all recorded annual growth between 1% and 2.5%.

Website Lets Businesses Share Notes on Bad Customers
Website Lets Businesses Share Notes on Bad Customers
(Image credit: Matt Stachel)
Customers can rate businesses on sites like the hyper-local Yelp, but when do the businesses get to share about bad customers?
Matt Stachel, a landscape contractor in Feasterville, Pa., created just the website: Nastyclient.com.
"Nastyclient.com is the consequence of a bad customer," Stachel, 33, said.
Stachel said he has been a contractor "my whole life."
"I have worked for plenty of bad customers. It really was just frustrating always seeing the one-sided story in the media or on Angie's List or Yelp: the poor customer who gave a contractor a deposit and the contractor left. Or a restaurant go-er will write, 'My fork was smudged and I'll never go back. They stink'."
For $15 to $99, business owners can do likewise about negative customer experiences. Business owners can write about customers anonymously, sharing details about customers who, for example, reneged on a contract, warning other businesses to stay away.
"I get there are some bad business owners," Stachel said. "I'm not saying there are not. But where's my story of customers that my friends and I deal with?"
He likens the site to a reverse Better Business Bureau.
"We are just a resource for the service provider or business owner to rate and review their customer. We give you the ability to know about your customer before you do an estimate and we empower you with the resource to help get money owed to you when you've worked for that customer," Stachel said.
Stachel reviews every post before it goes on the site, making sure there aren't profanities and that the member sticks to the facts.
He said many people ask him if there are concerns about slander.
"I always clear up for people that we're no different than Angie's list or the Better Business Bureau, or than the food critic that works at the newspaper judging an outlet," he said.
A typical posting on the site from a contractor about a customer reads: "He got me to drop my guard by being extremely nice and polite in the beginning, only to change once additional work was done without a contract. He was very careful not to sign things and be conveniently absent or very busy when asked. We are out tens of thousands of dollars along with other contractors totaling approximately $80,000.00 or more."
Stachel said he started working on the site in 2009 and it launched in October 2009. Membership recently started ballooning after the Philadelphia Metro newspaper and Philadelphia Inquirer wrote about him earlier this month.
He said membership is around 2,500 and growing, with over 11,000 page views on Monday alone. He tries to work on the website every night from 6 p.m. to about midnight, plus weekends.
Stachel still tries to personally welcome every new member who signs up, but he has some help for now.
"I have an intern," he said. "This is getting so overwhelmingly crazy."
There are two sides to every story but customers often think they can behave however they want and always paint themselves as a victim during conflicts. Or just plain dont know wtf they're talking about
Quoting parentalrights1:
Lol I'll have to check that out. I love notwaysrigjt.com and customerssuck.com
There are two sides to every story but customers often think they can behave however they want and always paint themselves as a victim during conflicts. Or just plain dont know wtf they're talking about
People are crazy and expectations are everything.
I have no problem with this - I dislike people (and I know some personally) who purposely try to bend rules, complain unecesarily or just plain throw fits just to get something free out of a company just to see if they can - everything from a month free from their cable company to a free entree at a restaurant.
I think this could be particularly good for the type of people who go into things with the idea they will get one over on the business and/or try to sue. Reputation is still so highly valued and easily destroyed in our society though. Many find this a bad business practice citing eBay as example who does not allow for bad comments on customer behavior.

Fircrest artist Nola Tresslar has a show up at the Lieutenant Governor's office that's worth a peek if you're down in Olympia. Tresslar, who works in a variety of media, has 14 pieces up, five of which are inspired by the artist's emotions on the anniversary of 9/11.
The Lieutenant Governor, by the way, is the President of the Washington State Senate, and steps in as Governor when the real one is off-duty. Brad Owen is the current Lt. Governor, and the office is publicly accessible on the second floor of the Legislative, a.k.a. Capitol, Building. The office sponsors quarterly exhibits of local artists.
Tresslar created her 9/11 art after doing a class in clay and tempera monoprints – an unusual medium where the clay is sculpted flat and painted over with tempera before the paper is laid on top to be printed. Her pieces show hearts done with broad, chunky strokes, moving from a sorrowful gray through tinges of green and red. There's a great explanation by Tresslar on YouTube.
Tresslar's solo show will be up at the Lt. Governor's office 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday through Sept. 29. Free. 220 Legislative Building, 16 Sid Snyder Ave. SW, Olympia. 360-786-7700, www.ltgov.wa.gov, nola.nobullart.com

Los Angeles Times- Recommended
"...The play, later transmuted by Nash himself into a musical, has been persistently revived. But unless you see the current production at the Edgemar Center, youve simply never seen this play. In a definitive staging, director Jack Heller smooths over the pieces limitations and crafts a striking, specific portrait of a bygone time."

"...The Rainmaker is dated in its chauvinistic assumptions about women, but the script overcomes that limitation because it is more concerned with the transformative power of believing. Unfortunately, the same cant be said of this production."

Doubletree Grand Key Resort
Key West
From connecting double queen rooms to comfortable luxurious suites, the Doubletree Grand Key Resort ensures the most luxurious resort-style Key West Florida lodging available on the island. Our accommodations have been carefully designed for exceptional style and comfort.
ReviewsThis was my first vacation in a year. My husband along with our 14 year old son and my mom. We decided on staying at the Doubletree Grand Key Resort in Key West instead of staying in oldtown because of the price for the level of quality and the rooms are larger than the small hotels and bed and breakfasts in oldtown. We had a large two room suite which really ended up saving us a ton. The staff at Doubletree provided excellent service and the cookie at check-in was like coming home to Grandmas house. For a national chain hotel they really make an effort to make their guests feel at home. Additional toiletries, towels, pillows and anything we requested was provided for us expeditiously. Throughout our six night stay at the hotel, the staff was attentive to our every need. The pool is spectacularly luxurious with a zero entry on one side, which is like a ramp into the water to mimic walking into the water at the beach. It's long and wide so laying there half in the water half out was ultra relaxing. Speaking of the beach, the Grand Key is near the largest beach on the island (Smathers) which has an extra wide side walk that leads all the way back to the hotel. We walked down to the beach the first day, which was about a half mile and took about 20 minutes. Between the hotel and the beach is almost entirely ocean so the view is beautiful if you like scenery wile you walk. We drove down the other days. That was all the driving we did however because the Grand Key has a shuttle that takes you to oldtown every hour. This was convenient and we were able to enjoy a few cocktails without concern for the drive back to the hotel. A car isn't necessary if you fly in. If you get in a hurry to go downtown and call a cab it will cost you about $15 each way, so utilizing the free shuttle is worth a small wait. They drop you off at the Conch Republic Seafood Company which is a great restaurant. The Doubletree Grand Key Resort is the best priced resort/luxury accommodations in Key West. We were very pleased with everything.
For a resort in Key West, we felt the Doubletree Grand Key Resort was an exceptional value. The property itself was in excellent condition from the exterior to the rooms and pool area. The staff was polite and friendly. The pool and hot tub area was extremely luxurious and tropical, as was the food and drinks from the bar. We watched the video and enjoyed cocktails and massages by the pool as well. Rooms come with a mini-fridge and mini-bar, which is great for soda or beer. We brought along a couple of our favorites and picked up some soda so we had a full bar ourselves. A free copy USA Today is waiting for you each morning and the restaurant has great food all day. Overall we loved our vacation and this very well run resort is in our opinion the best deal for high quality lodging at very reasonable rates. Especially in Key West.
We love Key West and go down there as often as we can. We live in Miami so short, last minute vacations for weekend are our forte. For the price (a Hilton owned property) The Doubletree is awesome. Free shuttle eliminates the fact that they aren't downtown and that's what you're saving so much on. That is the only reason they are priced so low for such a nice hotel. If they were down by the other resorts in Oldtown they would be twice the price. When you look over your options in Key West of guesthouses, resorts, and bed and breakfasts, the Grand Key resort in a no brainier hands down.
We stayed at the Doubletree hotel for four nights in January. This hotel is very accommodating and they care about your satisfaction a great deal. Our room was pleasing and smelled like new. I hate musty smelling hotels. The pool area was never over crowded and provided ample cushioned loungers and even cabanas. We felt like royalty sitting in the cabanas and having the cocktail waitress bring us drinks. The pool is in a lush tropical setting and there are plenty of areas to catch some sun if you desire to return home with a tan. Amenities I found others had not mentioned where; an exercise room with treadmills, weight machines, and two computers with free internet access 24/7. The complimentary bus shuttle is very dependable on the hour, you could set your watch to it. They try very hard and it shows in everything. For the rates they charge you more than get your monies worth.
The Doubletree Grand Key Resort in Key West is highly recommendable based on it's value compared to other resorts in Key West. We stayed here for nine days last March and I came here looking for reservations to go back. Outstanding service from the entire staff as well as fantastic rooms. Shuttles provide transportation to and from oldtown every hour free of charge which is an amenity not found with other hotels. You won't need to rent a car unless you plan on driving up the keys, which we did and turned around to head back after thirty minutes. If you have a convertible, great weather and enjoy the caribbean waters around you as you go over the bridges I have to say it's quite a drive. The islands of the Keys north of Key West however are mainly residential. I read a review about the lack of complaints and a few invalid ones. I couldn't agree more. I don't understand complaints about free shuttles running every hour and silly things. If you're in that much of a hurry on vacation I feel sorry for you. The pool is as nice as they say and despite the virtual tours looking great, they come nowhere near being there in person. It's slice of heaven on earth.
I stayed at the Doubletree with my husband and six year old son for five nights in June. We found the resort hotel to be wonderful and have nothing but praise for it. The room was beautiful and the beds were flat and in new condition. They were comfortable and conforming to your body once you laid down on them. We slept very well. We found the room and bathroom to be immaculately cleaned by maid service daily. The level of service from beginning to end never faltered. The mini bar was ample and well priced compared to the other hotels we've been gouged by in the past. If they have availabilty, the Cypress House is typically where we stay for the ideal location in Old Town and level of quality that's as high as this place. The buffet breakfast in the restaurant off of the lobby was also reasonably priced for the quality of the food. I love fresh biscuits and gravy in the morning and they had biscuits that would melt in you mouth without the gravy at all, which was....gravy! The pool and hot tub were surrounded by palm trees and bungalows. There was also a small man made beach near the pool that my son just loved. This was something I'd never seen anywhere else and other resorts should take notice. The expense for the accommodation compared the enjoyment of the guests would make it a must have for any family oriented resort hotel. I was jealous of the poolside massage on the video and dreamt about that for weeks prior to leaving. I had one the day we arrived and one the last day we were there. A must do. The poolside bar and was also reasonably priced and they had food from the restaurant inside available as well. The Doubletree gets an A from us and we'll be staying there when we visit Key West.
We only stayed at the Doubletree Resort for two nights in April and wish we would have been able to stay longer. If we didn't have prepaid flights we would have extended our stay. The staff was courteous, their standard rooms are spacious, nicely appointed and very well maintained. We felt they provided much more value and quality in their product than the price reflected. We partook in the complimentary shuttle to oldtown and return to the resort. Another service we were very satisfied with. We enjoyed breakfast each morning at the restaurant which was a buffet style. Again an exceptional value for the quality.
Stayed at the Doubletree Grand Key Resort with my children last week. This is a family and pet friendly hotel in Key West that is a step above the others in the area for the same if not lower prices. It's not downtown but that was fine for us. We have young kids so bar hopping isn't what they're into for now. They have a shuttle that drops you off in oldtown right next to the sunny days catamarans. They take daily trips out to the reef. Now this was something the kids were into. There's an aquarium in the lobby they were enthralled with and it was like swimming in the aquarium the next day out at the reef. If you go to Key West for nothing else, take your kids and yourself out to the reef. It's the only real living coral reef in North America and is a true wonder to see. The ladies behind the front desk were kind, the rooms were large and stylish. The beds were comfortable and provided ample jumping up and down for the kids for the first hour we were there. Noise was never and issue, from outside of our room anyway. The hotel is solid concrete construction so it well insulated from the noise from floor to floor and side to side. We couldn't have asked for more than we received for our vacation.
We had reservations for three nights at the Doubletree Grand Key Resort in Key West and enjoyed every minute of our stay. We were however winging it on the remainder of our vacation to Florida and had planned on grabbing the ferry to Ft. Myers and messing around there for a couple of days. We had too much fun (not really possible according to my wife) and stayed out until 4am on our last night in paradise. So of coarse we missed the ferry boat the next day, which was fine as we were not in much of a mood for a boat ride anyway. We were forced to sacrifice and stay another night at the wonderful Grand Key. The next morning after a night of rest like normal folks, the concierge for the resort helped us get a rental car and even called for a pickup. They printed road map to Ft Meyers for us and I didn't even ask. This was the level of service I don't see often even in the finest of hotels. Their obvious pride in customer service and quality sets the bar high for other hotels in the area, who have fallen well short of in past stays elsewhere. The hotel is exquisite and the the decor is Margaretville sheik. They provide an hourly shuttle that goes downtown also, so not staying downtown wasn't even an issue. Great place.
I wanted to send my review in to say I loved the virtual tours and video you have of The Doubletree Grand Key Resort in Key West and we had an enjoyable vacation here as well. I hope others read this and find this hotel as wonderful as we did. We planned this vacation six months ago and read all of the reviews on this site and others. I was concerned with some negative comments I found, but they were from seemingly snobby people who complained about things like the shuttle only running on the hour. We didn't find the shuttle "only" running on the hour inconvenient in the least. The opposite in fact. It was great to get a ride downtown and back for free. Stay elsewhere and pay for cabs, or deal with parking and then complain about a free shuttle running every hour. We were happy with everything. The service at the front desk from start to finish was polite and professional. As promised in the video, we received our home made chocolate chip cookies. We enjoyed several meals in their restaurant and more than our share of drinks at the bar overlooking the pool. The pool area was extravagant with the cabanas and setting it was like Fiji. The entire resort was clean and meticulously maintained. If you want a high class hotel in Key West and want to pay the same price as the little bed and breakfasts in oldtown, then stay at the Grand Key.

So in the last handful of weeks there has been National Peanut Butter Day… then Pancake Day… now Banana Bread Day tomorrow? Can the next one pretty please be national Arugula Day? or Kale Day? and Quinoa Day has to be coming up soon, right? Give the food bloggers a fighting chance to stay thin for god's sake…
But back to the holiday at hand… I was trying to think of a unique spin, something interesting and out-of-the-box to contribute to such a monumental occasion, but when it comes to banana bread I'm just such a purist. I only want to taste bananas, walnuts, and butter (I don't actually use real butter, but still…)
My recipe is simple, light, healthy and delicious (and also vegan). I don't like the texture of bananas, so I mash the crap out of them so that no huge chunks make their way in. I cut the sugar down to a minimum because the bananas provide so much natural sweetness already.
makes 1 regular-sized loaf, or 2 mini loaves
3 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1.5 cups, post-mash)
1/4 cup earth balance butter or oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of your choice)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 cup whole spelt flour (or whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup white spelt flour (or all purpose flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
a few handfuls of chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk room temperature butter (or oil), with sugar, milk, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar.
Sift together flours, baking soda and salt and set aside.
Mash bananas.
Gently stir together the dry and wet mixtures. Fold in bananas and walnuts. Don't over-stir, mix until ingredients are just combined to avoid dense bread. Top with a few extra walnuts.
Bake for 30-50 minutes depending on your oven. Bake mini-loaves for 25-30 minutes.
Note – I prefer mini-loafs because I find I can get them to bake more evenly throughout than full-sized loafs.

"...a one-of-a-kind book that captures the essence of the era through Jim Marshall's lens"
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 11, 2014
The counterculture movement of the 1960s is one of the most fascinating and endlessly examined moments of the twentieth century. Widely regarded as the cradle of the revolution, the Haight grew from a small neighborhood in San Francisco to a worldwide phenomenon that extends far beyond the boundaries of the famous Haight-Ashbury intersection itself. Nearly fifty years later, the footprint of that era still reverberates today in music, fashion, politics, literature, and more.
Legendary photographer and Grammy Trustees Award–winner Jim Marshall—renowned for his powerful portraits of some of the greatest musicians of our time—visually chronicled the movement as perhaps no one else did, with the same unique eye and intimate approach that made him one of the best photographers in the music world. Now, a treasure trove of his never-before-seen San Francisco photographs will be published by Insight Editions in The Haight: Love, Rock, and Revolution (Insight Editions / October 14, 2014)—a one-of-a-kind book that captures the essence of the era through Jim Marshall's lens. Written by best-selling San Francisco music journalist Joel Selvin, The Haight will show the Summer of Love like it's never been seen before: live concerts, powerful candids, intimate sessions with rock icons, street scenes, crash pads, and more.
Containing hundreds of stunning photographs featuring subjects from the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, and Jefferson Airplane to Donovan, Bill Graham, Allen Ginsberg, and Timothy Leary, The Haight will tell the comprehensive story of the revolutionary aspects of the era through an intimate and revealing narrative, lending the images a fascinating context and perspective.
Complete with a foreword by Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane, a preface by Donovan, and an afterword by former LOOK magazine editor John Poppy, The Haight will be a bold and beautiful collection encompassing the full scope and nuance of Marshall's San Francisco photography and offering fresh insight into Haight-Ashbury, the Summer of Love, and beyond.
Click here to watch Joel Selvin and Amelia Davis, the sole owner of Jim Marshall's photography, discuss the forthcoming book. Both Selvin and Davis are available for interviews.

About the Photographer:
Jim Marshall is world renowned as the pioneer of rock-and-roll photography. A principal photographer at Woodstock and the only photographer allowed backstage at the Beatles' final concert, he immortalized bands such as the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane before they became household names. His unlimited access to musicians allowed him to capture some of the most iconic images in music history. In 2014, Marshall became the first and only photographer to receive the Trustees Award, an honorary GRAMMY, for documenting the evolution of music over a period of five decades.
About the Author:
Joel Selvin has covered pop music for the San Francisco Chronicle since 1970. He is the author of more than twelve other books, including the #1 New York Times best seller Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock (with Sammy Hagar) and the classic best-selling account of the Haight in the sixties, Summer of Love: The Inside Story of LSD, Free Love, and High Times in the Wild West. A close friend of Jim Marshall, Selvin has worked on virtually every book Marshall has produced since their 1992 collaboration, Monterey Pop. He lives in San Francisco.

text: Hi I have a question on RNase H degradation. Does the enzyme specifically snip or cleave a RNA:DNA hybrid at the site of binding or does it recogonize such a hybrid and cleave/degrade it anyplace? In other words, if I have RNaseH activity, would the RNa be completely degraded or would it result in 2 smaller pieces? also, can other nucleases degrade a 'RNase H-attacked RNA' more efficiently than an intact one?

Freeway arrest over chauffeur airport stabbing
A man wanted over an alleged carjacking and stabbing at Sydney Airport last night has been charged after leading police on a chase on the F3 freeway, north of Sydney.
Police say the silver Mercedes-Benz that was stolen at the airport last night lost control and hit another car on the Freeway near Ourimbah shortly before 10:00am (AEST).
Officers were alerted to the car when another motorist rang to report seeing the stolen car heading north on the freeway.
The 22-year-old man was arrested and questioned at Wyong Police Station.
The Queensland man, from Petrie in Brisbane's north, has been charged with various offences.
They including aggravated carjacking, wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and car theft.
He is being held in custody to face court tomorrow.
Terminal drama
Police and security guards were too late to stop the man after he stabbed a chauffeur in front of shocked passengers at Sydney's domestic airport at about 6:30pm (AEST).
Detectives believe the man had disguised himself as an airport worker to steal a rental car.
They say he had scoped out his escape route but his plot went awry when he crashed into a minibus outside the Terminal Three arrivals area.
The man, who was wearing a green fluoro safety vest, ran from the wreckage and tried to carjack a chauffeur who was sitting nearby.
Police say the 38-year-old driver kicked him away from the driver's seat and was stabbed in the leg with a kitchen knife.
The robber lost his shoes as he sprinted towards a woman waiting to load baggage into her car boot nearby.
The 57-year-old woman initially refused to hand over her car keys but gave in when the man threatened to stab her.
Local police say Australian Federal Police officers arrived within three minutes, but the man had already sped off in the woman's silver Mercedes, driving over a median strip to leave the airport car park.
Inspector David Cattell say local officers and security guards took another minute or two to arrive.
"It's a matter of getting to the location, it's also quite a heavy traffic area, especially in the domestic terminal and certainly around that time of the evening," he said.
Police spent the night reviewing security footage and interviewing up to five witnesses.
Inspector Cattell says police are planning to speak to the chauffeur this morning.
"The chauffeur was released from hospital late last night. He's very lucky that it wasn't more serious," he said.
"The female was obviously shocked and distressed by the incident but was safe and unharmed."

(Great Authors of World Literature, Critical Edition)
Rebecca West is best known for her contribution to nonfiction writing, in which she showed a remarkable facility for blending the genres of history, travel, biography, and literary criticism. Ranking just below such masterpieces as Black Lamb and Grey Falcon and The Meaning of Treason are her works The Fountain Overflows and The Birds Fall Down. It does her a disservice to separate her fiction and nonfiction, for all of her mature writing is informed by a strongly novelistic sensibility.{$S[A]Fairfield, Cicily Isabel;West, Rebecca}
West was born Cicily Isabel Fairfield. Her father, Charles Fairfield, was of Anglo-Irish descent and made something of a reputation for himself as a staunch defender of individualism in debates with George Bernard Shaw and Herbert Spencer, two of the most important and influential thinkers in Victorian England. When her father died in 1902, however, West found herself in straitened circumstances, one of four daughters whom her mother had somehow to support. She never forgot the feeling of shabbiness in her early years, and by the age of nineteen, determined to make her mark as an actress, she changed her name to Rebecca West after a character in Henrik Ibsen's play Rosmersholm (pb. 1886; English translation, 1889). When West was advised that she had minimal talent as an actress, she took up her pen as a militant feminist journalist. She dared to attack even the most advanced thinkers of her time, including H. G. Wells, who eventually became her lover. She had a son with him, but they later parted in bitterness,...

Safeway 1-of-15 employers receiving the 2013 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award
PLEASANTON, Calif. — Safeway was selected to receive the 2013 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, the nation's highest honor given to employers for exceptional support of National Guard and Reserve employees. Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, an office of the Department of Defense, announced the award recipients on Tuesday.
Safeway is one of six large companies and the only retailer to be honored with the prestigious Freedom Award. Nine other award recipients are small- to mid-sized businesses or public-sector employers. The recipients, who were chosen from a pool of nearly 3,000 nominated private and public sector employers, were selected for their demonstrated programs, policies and achievements in support and hiring members of the National Guard and Reserve.
"I commend and thank the 15 recipients of the 2013 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award for providing exceptional support to our Citizen Warriors," stated Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. "So many of our nation's employers are finding ways to contribute to our nation's security, but these employers stand out for their commitment to our Guardsmen and Reservists. They have the gratitude and thanks of the entire Department of Defense."
"Providing employment opportunities and training to our men and women in uniform and veterans are among the most important public services we perform," stated Safeway's president and CEO, Robert Edwards. "We are honored to be among a select group of private and public sector organizations who can now call themselves Freedom Award recipients."
Safeway was among the first employers to commit more than 10 years ago to cover the pay differential and extend full benefits to employees in the Reserve and National Guard called to active duty. In 2012, Safeway hired nearly 1,500 veterans, with more than 1,300 of them hired into the company's retail stores. Safeway also has committed to hiring at least another 1,500 veterans by the end of 2013.
"We saw an opportunity to recruit new kinds of leaders who will become an important and critical part of our future," stated Larree Renda, Safeway EVP. "Our JMO and NCO recruiting program officially launched in 2010. We accept applicants who have been officers or non-\commissioned officers in the military and place them in an accelerated leadership program."
The 2013 Freedom Award recipients will be honored at the 18th annual Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award ceremony in Washington Sept. 26.
Feosol: 23% of women experience unexplained fatigue
MARIETTA, Ga. — A recent survey of U.S. women conducted by Harris Interactive for Feosol Iron Supplements found that over the past 12 months, nearly a quarter of women in the United States experienced unexplained fatigue, and many of those have indicated that it negatively affected their lives in a variety of ways.
What's more, as many as 69% of these women have not spoken to a doctor about their fatigue.
"In most cases, unusual and prolonged fatigue in women can be attributed to an illness, pregnancy, excessive exercise or menstruation," stated Erin Palinski-Wade, a registered dietitian. "However, if one experiences fatigue but does not have any of these conditions, it might be a symptom of an underlying condition, such as iron-related anemia. In these cases, which must be identified through a blood work-up, I typically recommend iron supplementation, as well as some dietary changes."
According to the survey, nearly 6-out-of-10 women reported they are less motivated to be physically active. Almost half (47%) believed they had gained weight.
"Unexplained fatigue that impacts your life should never be self-diagnosed," Palinski-Wade said. "Don't be afraid to find out what's causing it. The fix might be as easy as taking a daily supplement or making changes to your diet, so women should not be afraid to investigate what is causing their fatigue."
Impax Labs' president, CEO Larry Hsu to retire
HAYWARD, Calif. — The head of generic drug maker Impax Labs will retire, the company said Tuesday.
Impax said president and CEO Larry Hsu would retire, but would remain with the company until a replacement CEO is found and he would remain as a board member following the appointment of his successor. Hsu cofounded the company in 1994.
A three-person search committee to find a new CEO will include Hsu, Allen Chao and board chairman Bob Burr.

Marc Ecko Beat Box Battle sends first Middle East champ to Germany
Richie Lozada from the Phillipines won the first ever Middle East Beat Box Golden Mike in a ceremony held at the Mark Ecko stand at Barbican Turbo, which took place over the weekend
Abu Dhabi, October 2009: Richie Lozada from the Phillipines won the first ever Middle East Beat Box Golden Mike in a ceremony held at the Mark Ecko stand at Barbican Turbo, which took place over the weekend. Richie has won a trip to Germany to compete in the World Beat Box Championships and a Marc Ecko Watch valued at over DHS 1000.
The competition, which was supported by Marc Ecko Watches, the leader in street fashion timepieces, saw Richie triumph over 12 other amateur beat boxers to take the coveted Golden Mike. Richie will be the first ever competitor from the Middle East to compete in the World Beat Box Championships to be held in Berlin in 2010. The event was judged by Bee-Low, the founder of the World Beat Box Battle and one of the original practitioners of Beat Boxing.
"Beat Boxing is a relatively new phenomenon in the Middle East. I was highly impressed by the amount of talent which I witnessed and am keen to see the scene mature in this region," commented Bee-Low.
Also over the weekend, Samer Farraj, a 20 year old from Sudan, and Saif Chilmiran, a 19 year old Canadian were joint winners of the three day graffiti competition, another event sponsored by Mark Ecko Watches. The competition involved a number of amateur graffiti artists from across the Emirates.
"Mark Ecko has always been a keen supporter of the street art and street culture. We are proud to help raise the profile of beat boxing in the Middle East and to help young artists turn their passion in to a profession, as Marc Ecko has," stated Dany Kheirallah Zaccour, the Marketing Project Manager for Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, the Middle East retailer of Mark Ecko watches.

Charlotte among sites for 'American Idol' tryouts
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – The producers of "American Idol" are visiting Charlotte for the first time in search of talent.
The Fox network show announced Friday that tryouts for the show will be held June 19 at Time Warner Cable Arena. The producers say registration will be held on the two days prior to the auditions.
In 2005, Kellie Pickler of Albemarle and Bucky Covington of Hamlet tried out in Greensboro and made it to the Fox show.
Auditions are also scheduled for six other cities, including Los Angeles, Oklahoma City, Newark and New Orleans.

Once again, Colorado is blessed (cursed?) with a national spotlight as one of the swing states that will decide the 2012 presidential election. Don't cringe; you can always mute your TV or hang up on those "pollsters" and robo-calls.
Colorado's most spectacular appearance as a swing state came in 1876. That year, politicos admitted Colorado to the union just in time to decide one of the closest presidential elections. In 1876, as in 2000, the ultimate winner actually lost the popular vote but won through still-controversial manipulations. The presidential election is, despite reform attempts, still determined not by popular but by the electoral vote. Each state's votes in the Electoral College is equal to the number of its U.S. senators and representatives. In 1876, Colorado had only one representative, giving the state a total of three electoral votes.
President Ulysses S. Grant knew that the 1876 presidential election to determine his successor would be very close. Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, a reform-minded governor of New York known for prosecuting New York City's corrupt "Tweed Ring," looked like a good bet to beat the Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes, conservative governor of Ohio.
Grant had toured Colorado in 1868 on the eve of his first presidential term and just after his second inauguration in 1873. On his first trip, he had traveled in a bouncing stagecoach. Five years later, he rode in a palatial railroad car. To flaunt the territory's growth and prosperity, Grant was wined and dined, with no shortage of cigars. The Teller House Hotel in Central City even laid a sidewalk of silver bricks for the president.
Such displays helped convince the president that the stagnating territory of the 1860s had boomed after the 1870 arrival of the railroads. So Grant happily signed the bill on Aug. 1, 1876, admitting Colorado as the 38th state, and issued a celebratory proclamation from the White House. That made Colorado a player in the presidential election — which Hayes won by one electoral vote.
Some Easterners, especially Democrats, criticized Colorado's promotion to statehood. A New York newspaper growled: "There is something repulsive in the idea that a few handfuls of miners and reckless bushwhackers should have the same representation in the Senate as Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York."
Democrats who controlled the U.S. House tried to undo both Colorado statehood and Hayes' election. Not until January 1877 did the Judiciary Committee solemnize Colorado statehood and Hayes' victory.
After statehood, Colorado thrived. Silver strikes transformed the old ghost town of Oro City into Leadville, the nation's highest and richest silver city. A silver boom continued in multiple other bonanza towns until the crash of 1893.
President Hayes did not fare as well. Because he had lost the popular election by 264,000 votes, critics dubbed him "His Fraudulencey" and "Rutherfraud Hayes." After his first term, the unpopular president did not seek renomination.

NEC to build chip fab to service $2.8bn Nintendo Dolphin deal
$755m plant to fab Dolphin graphics processor, DRAM
NEC, the semiconductor company chosen by Nintendo to produce graphics and RAM chips for the console vendor's next-generation Dolphin machine, today said it will build a new plant to service the Nintendo contract. NEC said the deal is worth $2.8 billion in total, more than enough to cover the cost of the new plant, estimated to be around $755 million. The construction tab will be picked up exclusively by NEC -- Nintendo, unlike its chief rival, Sony, is not co-funding the production of its console's silicon. Sony, on the other hand, has invested direction Toshiba's Emotion Engine (the chip at the heart of the PlayStation 2) production programme. Speaking of console vendors, there's actually some conflict here, since NEC is already producing graphics chips -- based on VideoLogic's PowerVR 2 technology -- for Sega's Dreamcast console. Indeed, NEC was blamed for the initial delays to the Dreamcast's launch -- a charge it readily coughed up to. NEC already produces core silicon for the N64. The NEC plant is scheduled to go on-stream in August 2000, giving it just four months to get up to volume production -- Dolphin is currently due to ship in Japan in December 2000. Dolphin's graphics come from ArtX, the company formed by some of ex-SGI staffers who created the N64's 64-bit 3D graphics engine. The console's main processor will be a customised 400MHz PowerPC from IBM, which, thanks to IBM's revived partnership with Motorola, is likely to contain Motorola's PowerPC 7400 (aka G4) AltiVec vector processing engine. ®

Medical Marijuana Roundtable Promoting Conversations and Education
Medical Marijuana was preceded by "Reefer Madness" in the late 1930's.
Medical Marijuana research and historical documentation of the medicinal use was ignored. The War on Drugs and "Just Say No" campaigns in the 80's and 90's were introduced in schools and through television ads. Propaganda and disinformation about cannabis has been perpetuated throughout the decades.
We have all heard the negative messaging about marijuana. The propaganda has become firmly embedded in the minds of people. The idea that marijuana has medicinal properties and is actually healthy is a difficult concept for many to grasp. There is a hesitation about using medical marijuana because of the stigma and fear of being ostracized.
There is a need for positive messaging based upon medical research and case studies. We are all ambassadors of medical marijuana and the health benefits.
The more knowledge we have the better equipped we are to promote the truth. Knowledge based upon research opens the minds of public and opens the doors for acceptance and nationwide legalization.
Join like-minded people for an exchange of information, interesting discussions and dinner. (Dinner is optional.)
Group is limited to 14 guests
Medical Marijuana Historical Timeline
"The use of cannabis for purposes of healing predates recorded history. The earliest written reference is found in the 15th century BC Chinese Pharmacopeia, the Rh-Ya." National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Marijuana Research Findings: 1976, 1977
"The Chinese Emperor Fu Hsi (ca. 2900 BC), whom the Chinese credit with bringing civilization to China, seems to have made reference to Ma, the Chinese word for Cannabis, noting that Cannabis was very popular medicine that possessed both yin and yang." Robert Deitch Hemp: American History Revisited: The Plant with a Divided History, 2003
"The first medical marijuana initiative appeared in the city of San Francisco as Proposition P, which passed with an overwhelming 79% of the vote on Nov. 5, 1991. Proposition P called on the State of California and the California Medical Association to 'restore hemp medical preparations to the list of available medicines in California,' and not to penalize physicians 'from prescribing hemp preparations for medical purposes.'"Richard Glen Boire, JD Kevin Feeney, JD Medical Marijuana Law, 2007
"Twenty-six states and the District of Columbia currently have laws legalizing marijuana in some form. Three other states will soon join them after recently passing measures permitting use of medical marijuana." full article
Medical Marijuana Research 2016
"We can see the physical health effects of tobacco smoking in this study, but we don't see similar effects for cannabis smoking," said Madeline Meier, an assistant professor of psychology at Arizona State University who conducted the study with colleagues at Duke University, King's College in the UK and the University of Otago in New Zealand.
This study investigated the acute effects of alcohol and cannabis on subjective aggression in alcohol and cannabis users, respectively, following aggression exposure. Drug-free controls served as a reference. It was hypothesized that aggression exposure would increase subjective aggression in alcohol users during alcohol intoxication, whereas it was expected to decrease subjective aggression in cannabis users during cannabis intoxication.
Epidiolex, GW's lead cannabinoid product candidate, is an oral pharmaceutical formulation of CBD, which is in development for the treatment of a number of rare childhood-onset epilepsy disorders. GW has conducted extensive pre-clinical research of CBD in epilepsy since 2007. This research has shown that CBD has significant anti-epileptiform and anticonvulsant activity using a variety of in vitro and in vivo models and reduced seizures in various acute animal models of epilepsy.

As a result, he's spent a considerable amount of time with whom he calls "the people who built the Internet" — people such as professor Leonard Kleinrock, from whose laboratory in 1969 the first message was transmitted over what was then called the ARPANET to a computer at Stanford.
Over the years, Drobman, a Thousand Oaks resident, has repeatedly posed a question to these Internet pioneers: "Why aren't we voting from the Internet?"
Drobman, 65, has formulated his own answer: It's being done successfully in places such as Estonia and Switzerland; concerns about privacy and security can be adequately addressed; and no reason prevents California from moving forward to start phasing in Internet voting.
This spring, Drobman is running for secretary of state on a platform that is direct: Vote anywhere, anytime and on any device.
"I've asked all the top experts," Drobman said. "They have some concerns, too, but they don't say that it can't be done. I absolutely believe that it can be done."
Drobman's singular focus on Internet voting is adding spice to possibly the most interesting and competitive race for statewide office in the June 3 primary. He is one of four Democrats among eight candidates seeking to replace termed-out Secretary of State Debra Bowen.
The contest also includes state Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles; Democrat Derek Cressman, former vice president of state operations for the advocacy group Common Cause; Republican Pete Peterson, executive director of the Davenport Institute for Public Engagement at Pepperdine University; independent Dan Schnur, who was spokesman for Gov. Pete Wilson and is now on leave as director of USC's Unruh Institute of Politics; Republican Roy Allmond, an Air Force veteran and gun rights enthusiast; and Green Party candidate David Curtis, an architect and Air Force veteran.
Also in the mix is state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, who dropped out of the race after being indicted on federal corruption charges but whose name remains on the ballot.
Drobman has pledged to spend no money on the campaign — a position that he believes sets him apart in a field of candidates all advocating for campaign law changes. Others have called for fundraising blackout periods, but Drobman thinks his approach most effectively combats corruption and the appearance of corruption.
"I would go all the way to zero because that's what I'm doing," he said.
Drobman, an app developer, tech consultant and expert witness on technology issues, said that in the world of computer science his life has been like that of film character Forrest Gump: He's managed to show up at many significant events.
He has worked for a number of chip makers, was an early developer of PC software, worked for a startup acquired by National Semiconductor, and generally was an all-around participant in "the genesis of the Silicon Valley."
Drobman has varied interests, including baseball and politics. He is a former assistant varsity baseball coach at Malibu High School, twice ran unsuccessfully for Los Angeles County supervisor and has long been active in Southern California Democratic Party organizations.
But he said his technology expertise commends his candidacy and that he thinks he is uniquely qualified to lead California voting into the digital age.
He says Internet voting can be made more secure than online banking, would provide greater assurance against voter fraud than the current system, would improve voter turnout and would make voting more convenient.
He envisions a system in which voters could cast ballots at any time during the period before an election while mail-in voting is taking place and one that would accommodate "incremental voting," allowing voters to cast ballots for some offices early while they continue making up their minds on other offices or ballot propositions.
He said he thinks the best course would be to roll out Internet voting incrementally while keeping paper ballots an option. As for security concerns, Drobman said the protocols of online banking "would be my baseline, and we'd build on top of that."
Drobman acknowledges that his unfunded candidacy gives him only a long-shot chance to finish among the top two who will advance to the general election. Still, with the power of the Internet, one never knows what can happen, he said.
"You never know what can go viral," Drobman said. "Maybe I'll have to go out and get some cats."
Even if his candidacy falls short, however, Drobman thinks he has already advanced his cause of promoting Internet voting. After a forum in San Diego this month in which all eight candidates participated, Drobman said several major candidates approached him and said they would be interested in working with him to study implementation of online voting.
"I don't fear it," he said. "It can be done and be a benefit to all of us."

LURGAN College hockey team progressed to the Senior Schools Cup hockey semi-finals for the fourth consecutive year after defeating rivals Banbridge on Monday afternoon.
They defeated Banbridge Academy 3-1 after the scheduled game on Saturday was the victim of an unexpected frost.
This game had been dubbed 'the tie of the round' following the draw in December, given that both teams have recorded consistently impressive results this season.
The home side started the stronger, putting the Academy defence under pressure from the whistle. However the visitors were well organised and dealt with the College advances well. Julie Morrow came closest to opening the College account when she weaved into the Banbridge circle and fired a blistering strike at the keeper, only to be denied by the inside edge of the crossbar.
This seemed to spur Banbridge into action and they enjoyed a spell of attacking hockey where they threatened to penetrate the College circle after winning a series of free hits in the attacking '25'. However the experience of the College defenders intercepted every pass Banbridge made. In fact the discipline shown by Shannon Davidson, Jill Costley and Alex Hurst was instrumental in preventing the Academy team winning any penalty corners.
Midway through the first half, the College claimed their first goal when Julie Morrow made another good run along the Academy's backline and pulled the ball back beautifully to Chloe McCann who made no mistake in hitting the backboard from close range. This inspired confidence in the home side and they set about looking for opportunities to add to their tally, winning a number of penalty corners. Banbridge initially defended well, but in giving Hannah Grieve time to strike cleanly from the edge of the circle, they conceded their second goal as Hannah's blistering strike proved unstoppable.
At the half time interval the home team had a 2-0 lead, but they were also aware of the potential of the Banbridge captain, Lucy McKee to take any opportunity presented and convert it to goal. Concentration was paramount and with nothing to lose, Banbridge, as expected went on the attack. Bethany Barr made some great interceptions in the middle of the pitch, to turn possession over to Lurgan and counter attack with pace through the fresh legs of Ellen Mullen and the hard working Kathryn Edgar.
Serena Barr, player of the match, totally dominated the defence in her man-to-man marking of Lucy McKee. Banbridge found it difficult to get the ball to their inspirational captain as Serena was always there first. However, a quick free hit caught the College midfield by surprise and Banbridge took advantage of a lapse in concentration to drive into the circle and score from a goal mouth scramble.
The College team were not to be deterred and responded by going on the attack immediately. The pace and accuracy of passing at this stage of the game was fantastic and the home team displayed some beautiful flowing hockey through Judith Edgar in midfield, and Alex Hurst driving through from defence; both players linking with forwards who showed some great off the ball running.
Midway through the second half, a period of sustained pressure saw Bethany Barr fire off a shot from the edge of the circle, which was initially saved by the Banbridge keeper, only for Hannah Grieve to pounce on the rebound and make no mistake with the second shot. The game continued to ebb and flow, with the College team dominating most of the remainder of the half.
The semi final draw took place on Monday evening and Lurgan College will now face Belfast Royal Academy on Wednesday 6th February at 2pm at Lisnagarvey.
Squad: Bethany Barr, Chloe McCann, Serena Barr, Shannon Davidson, Ellen Mullen, Gemma McKitterick, Katie Allen, Hannah Grieve, Jill Costley, Julie Morrow, Judith Edgar, Alex Hurst, Naomi Costley, Louise McKitterick, Smantha Bann, Kathryn Edgar.

Most car owners and drivers do not know a lot about their car's steering and suspension system.
Suspension, when discussing cars, refers to the use of front and rear springs to suspend a vehicle's
"sprung" weight. The springs used on today's cars and trucks are constructed in a variety of types,
shapes, sizes, rates, and capacities. Types include leaf springs, coil springs, air springs, and
torsion bars. These are used in sets of four for
each vehicle,
or they may be paired off in various
combinations and are attached by several different mounting techniques.

Auto Parts.
Auto parts are important components of vehicles that enable it to function properly.
These parts my get damaged in case of accidents or general wear and tear. Car owners may
need to replace them and get new auto parts once in a while. There are many kinds of auto
parts and it depends on your individual need as well as preference as to what type of a
component you should buy for your vehicle.

This is often the most familiar situation that you can come across: each and every time car owners
find themselves confronted with a problem in their cars they pop open the hood, peer under it and
pretend they know which engine part is this from the one over there. In short, in a day and age
where more and more people learn how to drive, there still remains a large percentage among these
drivers who know little when it comes to issues of car maintenance and care. And among the most
common car troubles that assail and bedevil the modern driver are those that spring from glitches in the
system. At this point, it really helps to know more about what happens under the hood.

It includes important components like camshaft, air duct, cylinder head, piston,
crankshaft, tappet, turbocharger, engine valve and so on. Cooling fan,
water tank, air blower, water pump, coolant hose and radiator are also
the components
of engine. Engine oil
components also consist of oil pump, oil pipe, oil filter and oil strainer.

It's not uncommon to find a rebuilt alternator that offers a level of quality that is
just as good - or even better - than a new one. Similarly, a rebuilt fuel
or A/C
compressor might also offer comparable quality. Rebuilders realize that building
reliable components that keep drivers on the road is the best route to growing
their businesses over the long run. Of course, high quality comes at a price.

Terrelle Pryor is a different type of quarterback, one who puts pressure on a defense with his superior athleticism and because of his added ability as a dangerous runner. This is the first time the Eagles will face a true, fully healthy, dual-threat at the position, and it might be just the most unique challenge they deal with on defense all season.
"Pryor is a phenomenal athlete," defensive coordinator Bill Davis said."The more film you watch, he makes you say 'wow' a lot of times with his escapability. We've got our hands full this week with trying to keep him contained and really limiting his playmaking ability, which is tough to do because he's such a versatile athlete. He's big, he's strong, he can move, he can throw the ball and his escapability is probably the best we've faced."
While Pryor is primarily known for his legs and what he can do on the ground, he has steadily improved as a passer and shows flashes of his potential in that facet of the game. He has a strong arm, throws a pretty ball and has completed 63.1 percent of his throws, which ranks 12th among all starting quarterbacks. While the Raiders rank last in the NFL in passing yards per game (176.0), it has more to do with a lack of passing attempts, 27.4 per game (30th), than a glaring deficiency of skill on the part of Pryor. In fact, his 7.32 yards per attempt, which ranks 15th among quarterback, signifies that he makes the most of his passing opportunities.
"He's getting better each week (as a passer)," Davis said. "It's interesting to watch his progression because you can tell that the offense has kind of moved to what he does well (that's what) they're doing the most. He had a great game passing against San Diego, he lit them up. He's got the skill set, and like most young players, as they play more, they start settling in and saying, 'You know what, I do belong and I can play this game.' You can see the confidence growing in him, and we've got our hands full trying to stop this offense."
Becoming an NFL-caliber passer is something Pryor has worked very hard to refine, since it was not a strength of his game when he entered the league as a rookie.
"I would say that's been a pride issue for him," said practice squad defensive lineman
Naturally, given Pryor's skill set, the defense has to devise a different way to defend him than it would a traditional drop-back, pocket passer. Some teams might devote a spy, some might vary up their stunts and pass rush patterns. The overall goal with a mobile quarterback is to contain him within the pocket, to make him beat you with his arm instead of his legs. And when a defense commits to making a mobile quarterback a passer, defensive backs have to be cognizant of the fact that he still might escape and extend the play, so they have to be ready to cover a little bit longer than usual.
"First of all, you have to keep a solid pocket in terms of your pass rush," Bair said. "You can't have big, open holes on the defensive line and guys rushing outside with nobody holding the middle. I think it's really important to have a sound pocket in terms of your rushing the passer. Obviously, we're used to going up against the zone read and read option in practice with what we do, so we'll just kind of play our game in that aspect."
"There are all kinds of different techniques and schemes that people are using (against mobile quarterbacks)," Davis said. "The spy technique by a (defensive) end, some are bringing in defensive backs to do it, some are changing up how they pass rush and the stunts they use. When you face the mobile quarterbacks, there a handful of tricks and little tools you can use to try and keep them contained. But then, at the end of the day, these great athletes with escapability, they're going to make some plays too. So behind it you have to make sure you're plastered in coverage and you've got to cover longer now because they move around more. The pass rush isn't quite the same pass rush when you have a mobile quarterback. The timing is different, the clock in the head of a defensive back has to go longer because it's not a five-step drop plant and throw. It could be six seconds you're covering, and that's where the challenge comes."
The Eagles defense has made tremendous strides over the last month and is just one of two units in the league to allow 21 points or fewer in each of its last four games. The improvement cannot stop here, however, as Pryor and a hungry Raiders team await for a showdown in the Black Hole.
"It's a credit to them (players and position coaches) and the individual periods and the fundamentals that we've taught from day one," Davis said of the steady improvement. "Every day we hit the sled, every day we tackle, every day we talk about footwork, every day we talk about eyes. And when you do that and just keep your focus on those things, you get better as you go. I like where we're improving to this point, but we've got a lot of improvement left. We still have so many inconsistencies in what we're doing. We've got eight more games to get a lot better."

Frozen Embryo Transfer
Frozen Embryo Transfer
IVF - In Vitro Fertilization is a last resort for many couples. Most couples starting IVF have already been through long months of trying to conceive naturally, failed IUI - Intrauterine Insemination - cycles, multiple tests, a lot of frustration and disappointment.
When excess embryos created in the process of IVF are not transferred to the uterus, they can be frozen for future cycles. As eSET (elective single embryo transfer) becomes more prevalent, as is seen in a current worldwide trend to try to prevent birth of multiples as a result of IVF, frozen embryo transfer cycles will increase in popularity. The pregnancy rate following the fresh transfer of a single embryo followed by, if necessary, the transfer of a single thawed embryo is remarkably similar to that of transferring two fresh embryos, while eliminating the risk of twins almost completely.
In a Frozen Embryo Transfer cycle, the uterine lining may be prepared using hormones or the transfer may be performed using a natural cycle.
The embryo(s) is/are thawed and transferred to the uterus in the same process as in a fresh IVF cycle.
It is said that frozen embryos are less successful than fresh embryos, however some women who have been successful with frozen embryos feel that some factors actually make it more likely to succeed:
- The preparation stage, which is emotionally draining, is much simpler
- It is easier to control the thickness of the uterine lining
- There is no egg retrieval process -- another high-stress point
