When was the last time you backed up your photos and videos from your phone or camera?
Are they stored on your PC? Is this the only location?
Irrespective of your setup, you always should make sure you have at least 1, if not 2 backups of your most precious data and generally speaking photos and videos are for many the most important.
Backing up photos and videos can be a hassle and the space they take up can mean costly expense for hard drives or online storage.
We all love to get something for free and what I am about to explain to you is something you may or may not have come across before but believe me, it is hands down the BEST solution I have ever come across and value for money wise there is no competition.
The solution?
Google Photos – https://photos.google.com/
Irrespective of who you are, how many pictures and videos you take I seriously recommend you take a look at it. I really think you will see the benefit of taking a bit of time reading and understanding how it works, because it is immensely powerful.
Now I could write loads on this but there are a couple of other who have already done this and to be honest there is little I can really add.
I am sure there are lots of great reviews out there, but one of the best I have read is here by Android Police.
The Verge & TechnoBuffalo have also put together videos that explains it all pretty well.
The key points to note is that:
- The unlimited storage applies to photos taken on a camera with a resolution of 16 megapixels or below.
- Larger files and even those at 16 megapixels or less are compressed, but there is virtually impossible to tell the difference between the compressed and original.
- You can upload the original but you only get 15GB of free storage. If you need more than this you have to pay.
- There is the web app, an app for Android, iOS, PC and Mac. They all sync so when you upload from one you can see it on another.
- You can download and share files with ease.
- There is lots of control over how when and where files are uploaded.
I uploaded over 50GB of photos and videos from my personal storage and have completed similar with work files.
I want to sum this up by saying I set this up for my mum who will admit technology baffles her. But she has been blown away how within seconds of capturing a picture on her phone it is now backed up on the web but also available to view on her iPad. Previously I always had to backup her photos, but now she does it herself, but doing nothing!
So if you are interest head to https://photos.google.com/ or download it for Android devices here and iOS here.

Gravit is an Open Source gravity simulator I started writing in 2003 and worked on it in my spare time until about 2005. It's written in C and uses OpenGL, SDL and Lua.
Even though Gravit has worked on Mac OS X for a while, I didn't get around to actually making a bundled application for it until now. Normally you would have had to compile it from source, usually with some tinkering of the source code and build settings.
The UI needs some more work to make it more like an OS X application, but I don't have time for it at the moment. For now, here is the gravit-0.5.0.dmg universal binary and a quick tutorial on using it. Don't forget to hold down the fn key when dealing with function keys, and if you have any problems please tweet them at me. Enjoy!

Nanotube, heal thyselfTheAllINeed.com
(NC&T/RU) "The shape and direction of this imperfection does not change, and it never gets any larger," said lead researcher Boris Yakobson, professor of mechanical engineering and materials science and of chemistry. "We were amazed by it, but upon further study we found a good explanation. The atomic irregularity acts as a kind of safety valve, allowing the nanotube to release excess energy, in much the way that a valve allows steam to escape from a kettle."
The research appears Feb. 16 issue of in Physical Review Letters.
Carbon nanotubes are hollow cylinders of pure carbon that measure about a billionth of a meter, or one nanometer, across. They are much longer than they are wide, akin in shape to 100-foot garden hose, and they're 100 times stronger than steel at one-sixth the weight.
The carbon atoms in nanotubes are joined together in six-sided hexagons, so when scientists sketch out the arrangement on paper, nanotubes look something like a rolled up tube of chicken wire. Yakobson's "smart repair machine" is a deformity, a blemish in this pattern. The blemish consists of a five-sided pentagon joined to a seven-sided heptagon and contains a total of ten atoms. Yakobson, who specializes in using computers to decipher the atomic pecularities of materials, discovered several years ago that mechanically stressed nanotubes � like those being pulled very hard from both ends � are predisposed to develop these 5/7-defects due to the complex interplay of thermodynamic forces at work in the nanotube.
In the latest study, Yakobson, research associate Feng Ding and students examined the effects of other types of stress, including exposure to heat and radiation. The tests confirmed the predisposition of nanotubes to develop the 5/7 blemishes, and they revealed the blemishes' unexpected healing powers.
"The 5/7-blemishes move across the surface of the nanotube like a steamship, giving off puffs of carbon gas," said Ding. "In their wake, the skin of the tube appears pristine, in its characteristic hexagonal arrangement."
Yakobson said the blemishes consume all larger defects, and chug along indefinitely, rearranging atoms and healing the skin of the damaged nanotubes. This explains how nanotubes retain their strength, even when severely damaged. But the healing comes with a price.
"In their role as a safety valve, the 5/7-steamers give off energy and mass, which is released as pairs of gaseous carbon atoms," Yakobson said. "Since they never change shape or stop moving, they ever so slowly eat away the surface of the nanotube, one pair of atoms at a time."
Yakobson said the 5/7-blemishes turn when they reach the end of the nanotube and return in the opposite direction. In fact, there's only one thing that can stop them: another 5/7 blemish. If two of the blemishes run headlong into one other, they cancel each other out and disappear.
Research co-authors include graduate students Kun Jiao and Mingqi Wu.
The research was supported by the Office of Naval Research, the National Science Foundation and the Robert A. Welch Foundation.

- Mohanlal & Prithviraj's Lucifer To Begin In June?
Jayasurya is one of the most popular celebrities on Facebook. His followers might be less in comparison to young actors like Dulquer Salmaan, Nivin Pauly etc. But he definitely knows to engage his audiences with some funny posts.
Most of the time we have seen him coming out with some notes which would have whacky twists and turns in them. Here we list the 6 times when Jayasurya entertained us with his Facebook posts.
Go through the slides to read more..
When Jayasurya Left A Special Note To Prithviraj..
Recently, while talking about the trending new short film Vicky, directed by Manu Antony, actor Jaysurya had a special note for Prithviraj suggesting that the latter needn't ask for the phone number of director Manu Antony, as Jayasurya himself has committed the director's upcoming project.
During The Recording Of Shajahanum Parekuttiyum Song..
Jayasurya did sing a song for the film Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum and while announcing the news, he pulled the legs of Prithviraj, suggesting in a funny manner that the latter didn't get him even a chocolate, for singing a song in Prithviraj's movie Pavada.
Cricket Time With Kunchacko Boban..
This happened during the shooting days of Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum. The actor posted a photo of him and Kunchacko Boban playing cricket on the sets of Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum. Interestingly, he had a caption for the photo, Which translates to, 'Well, we were paid for the film, but we ended up playing cricket on the sets!'
When Jayasurya Met Sunny Leone..
This Facebook post of Jayasurya did go viral. The post had the actor talking about the experience that he had, while meeting Bollywood sensation Sunny Leone. In the post,you could see the actor pulling the legs of Prithviraj, Sunny Wayne etc.
When Prithviraj Asked Jayasurya To Sing A Song..
In this post written by Jayasurya, the actor talks about the situation in which he sang a song for the film Pavada. He states that it was Prithviraj who invited the him to sing the song and as an end note, the actor has conveyed that Maniyanpilla Raju, the producer of the film has offered him a car, provided the song turns out to be a hit.
The actor enjoys a good rapport with most of his co-actors and that is quite evident from the notes that he scribble on Facebook.Many a time we have seen him playing pranks and pulling the legs of his co-stars like Prithviraj, Kunchacko Boban etc.
Most recently, he came up with a Facebook post in connection with the recent short film Vicky. In the same post, he has a special note for actor Prithviraj and it would definitely leave you in splits.
Jayasurya's most recent release Pretham is doing a good business at the box office. The actor took to Facebook several times to promote the film and majority of his posts had whacky elements, which made them look interesting.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. (WAVY) – A Marine from Virginia is in a San Diego hospital after she was stabbed several times on base at Camp Pendelton.
A U.S. Marine Corps spokesperson told WAVY.com the incident happened Saturday at Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, Cali.
WAVY News 10 confirmed through another source that Emily Hammonds is the victim in the stabbing. She graduated from Hermitage High School in Richmond, Virginia, and lived for a while in Virginia Beach before graduating from the Maine Corp's Recruit Training facility at Paris Island. From there, the Marines put her to work at Camp Pendelton in San Diego. That is were she was attacked Sunday morning with a "sharp object," according to a Marine spokesperson.
She is listed in stable condition at Scripps Mercy Hospital.
So far, an investigation indicates her attacker was a fellow Marine. Although the service is saying very little about the incident, they have confirmed that another marine has been detained in connection with the incident.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is handling the case.
Friends and relatives have been showing their concern and support for Emily. Her sister, Jenn Hammonds, who, according to her Facebook page is also from Virginia Beach but lives in Glenn Allen, flew to California to be at her sister's side.
For now, the family is asking for privacy.
WAVY.com will also continue to follow up with the Marine Corps and NCIS to see if and when any charges are filed and if in fact, a fellow marine is responsible.
Information on what led to the stabbing was also not available.

I'm not happy with Marcus Smart. When penciling in some potential draft picks earlier this week, I had him as the top player going to the Bobcats. With Smart returning to Oklahoma State, I had to redo everything. As you will read elsewhere, this is not a good draft. There are no stars, and none of the players will have a dramatic impact on the teams that pick them in the next few years. Next year's draft is supposed to be better, but forecasting a year in advance is a fool's errand. In this mock draft, I'll predict as if the lottery works out in the exact order of the opposite standings. The lottery, by the way, is on May 21. I will also lean more toward what teams should do rather than what they will do.
1. Orlando Magic – Nerlens Noel, center, Kentucky Wildcats
I originally had Noel falling to fourth. He won't be ready to start the season after tearing his ACL in February, so the thinking goes that whichever team drafts him will be playing for the 2014 draft. I don't think that makes much sense, and the fact that Noel has a very limited offensive game gives me pause. However, Noel is an impact shot blocker (a skill that may not translate to the NBA) and should be a good rebounder. I think a Ben Wallace comp is the upside for Noel, and he could form a solid frontcourt with Nikola Vucevic.
2. Charlotte Bobcats – Ben McLemore, guard, Kansas Jayhawks
With Smart, Kemba Walker, and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the Bobcats would have had a solid, albeit very young, nucleus. McLemore is a better shooter than Smart and could be a good defender. The problem with McLemore isn't so much a person thing as much as it is that the track record of Jayhawks drafted in the Bill Self era is not good. Mario Chalmers is the best of the sorry lot. McLemore's tendency to disappear and played passively, despite all of his skills, also doesn't help his case for being a top draft pick.
3. Cleveland Cavaliers – Otto Porter, forward, Georgetown Hoyas
This might be the best fit of team and player in the early lottery. The Cavaliers started Alonzo Gee for 82 games in the 2012-13 season. Gee is a fine defensive performer, but Porter is bigger and can score. He had a breakout game in the Hoyas' final trip to the Carrier Dome against Syracuse by scoring 33 points and solving the Orange zone by shooting over it. He is a good rebounder and would fit on a team that has drafted four starters in the past two drafts (Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters, and Tyler Zeller).
4. Phoenix Suns – Shabazz Muhammad, forward, UCLA Bruins
Muhammad seems to be falling on draft charts because he is older than he said he was, did not show much beyond shooting in his lone year at UCLA, and may have some concerns with his attitude. For the Suns, he sounds like another Michael Beasley, but I think he is better than that. UCLA under Ben Howland has produced stars such as Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, and Jrue Holiday. Howland is gone, but Muhammad's pedigree is not.
5. New Orleans Pelicans – Anthony Bennett, forward, UNLV Runnin' Rebels
Porter, Muhammad, and Bennett were unable to showcase their skills in the NCAA tournament. All three lost in the round of 64, which says a lot about this draft. Bennett is a power forward who can step out and hit a 3-pointer. The product of Canada played very well in the non-conference slate before injuring his shoulder. He would compete with Al-Farouq Aminu for minutes.
6. Sacramento Kings – Trey Burke, guard, Michigan Wolverines
The Kings are a mess and don't even seem to have a permanent home. I'm not sure that Burke will be a star, but he was certainly reliable for the Wolverines as they made their way through the Big Ten and to the NCAA title game. The 6-0 guard has excellent range on his jumper and good (but not great) court vision. He is stocky enough not to be a terrible defensive liability, but his height leaves a lot to be desired. The Kings have a number of point guard options, but Burke may be somewhat better than Isaiah Thomas and Jimmer Fredette.
7. Washington Wizards – Cody Zeller, forward, Indiana Hoosiers
I'm not high on Zeller. He didn't play well in the NCAA tournament, and I thought his lack of aggressiveness and slow decision making from the high post was a big reason the Hoosiers were unable to beat Syracuse. He does have a variety of skills that may be useful for the Wizards. I think he has a bit more polish offensively than his brother who was a rookie with the Cavaliers this season. He can hit a midrange jumper and is a willing rebounder. Zeller could grow into a fine forward behind Nene and Emeka Okafor.
8. Detroit Pistons – Victor Oladipo, guard, Indiana Hoosiers
A Hoosier run! This might seem like a steal for the Pistons because Oladipo had such a nice season for Indiana. He should be an excellent two-way guard who could be a defensive perimeter assassin. In his junior season, Oladipo hit 44.1 percent of his 3-pointers after hitting less than a quarter of his long range shots in his first two years. He will need to work on hitting an NBA-range 3-pointer, but the 6-5 guard could slide into the confusion of the Pistons' backcourt situation and be a stabilizing force.
9. Minnesota Timberwolves – C.J. McCollum, guard, Lehigh Mountain Hawks
Like Noel, McCollum was lost for the season when he injured his foot on Jan. 5 in a loss to VCU. I happened to be watching both games (the Noel and McCollum injuries) and wasn't sure what happened to the 6-3 Mountain Hawk at the time. Prior to the injury, McCollum was averaging 23.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists. He could handle point guard duties in a pinch, but will mostly be drafted for his shooting ability, which should help Minnesota.
10. Portland Trailblazers – Gorgui Dieng, center, Louisville Cardinals
Whereas Zeller disappeared in the NCAA tournament, Dieng played very well. He showed excellent passing skills in the high post in the Big East final against Syracuse and was able to hit some 12-15 foot jumpers. Those skills may be enough to raise his draft stock to above the average rebounder/shot blocker. Dieng showed off those skills as the Cardinals marched their way to the national championship. He could get some playing time behind or with Meyers Leonard.
11. Oklahoma City Thunder (via the Toronto Raptors – top three protected) – Dario Saric, forward, Croatia
You could look at this as the rich getting richer, but a mid-level first round pick may not be all that great. While I can't say that I've seen Saric, his description makes him sound like a young Toni Kukoc. He is 6-11 and can dribble and pass. His outside shot needs work, but the Thunder could let him develop in Europe for a year or two before bringing him over as a potential point forward (two of my favorite words). It would be a cagy move by general manger Sam Presti.
12. Philadelphia 76ers – Alex Len, center, Maryland Terrapins
Len is a player that I am not as high on as others. He has excellent size and people will always tell you about that reverse dunk on Mason Plumlee. My response is, "and … ?" He had a few other solid games, including one against the freshmen of Kentucky in the opener, but the 7-1 center also scored in single digits in seven of 11 games in late January through early March against a somewhat middling ACC. Despite his size advantage, he only collected double-digit rebounds seven times and averaged 7.8 boards. Len could serve as Spencer Hawes' backup in the short term.
13. Dallas Mavericks – Pierre Jackson, guard, Baylor Bears
My feelings about Jackson are the opposite of how I feel about Len. I love him. I love his confidence, and I think he could be the point guard of the future for the Mavericks. He probably won't be considered, because of his size (5-10, 180 lbs), but I think his ability to hit shots and run an offense would make him a good get.
14. Utah Jazz – Michael Carter-Williams, guard, Syracuse Orange
Jackson could be a consideration for the Jazz as well. Mo Williams is one of my least favorite NBA players. He is a good shooter, but he is essentially a shooting guard in a point guard's body. Unlike Mo Williams, Carter-Williams is not a good shooter, but he is a good passer and can deftly play the passing lanes on defense. Like Bennett, he slowed down in conference play as opponents tempted him to shoot. He has excellent height but will need to fill out as he matures.
15. Milwaukee Bucks – Jamaal Franklin, guard, San Diego State Aztecs
And here is a bonus pick, since I am a Bucks fan and the team is essentially a lottery team. They are in an interesting situation since both Brandon Jennings (restricted) and Monta Ellis (unrestricted) are free agents. I always believe in picking the best player available, and Franklin might be the best. He compares somewhat to former Buck Desmond Mason in that he is a wing who can rebound. Like Mason, Franklin struggled on offense from the perimeter, but he could be a very solid perimeter defender.

A Glemsford teenager has expressed his delight after completing a mammoth bike ride for charity despite suffering a late leg injury.
Jack Wright, 16, set himself the challenge of completing a 100-mile bike ride, while raising money for Help for Heroes in the process.
Starting from Glemsford, Jack managed to take in the Suffolk sights of Sudbury, Monks Eleigh, Bures, Long Melford and Clare within nine hours.
But with just 10 miles to go, he pulled a muscle in his leg, making for a tough end to an incredible journey.
Luckily for Jack, his friend Tom Wolford joined him for the final 20 miles.
"That helped me quite a lot," said Jack.
His father, Steve, added: "Tom just being there lifted Jack's spirits."
Unsurprisingly, Jack, who lives in Angel Lane, Glemsford, said the best part of the day was the finish.
"I was just happy I had achieved something," he said. "I know people who have done things for Help for Heroes and I thought I'd give it a go."
Support for Jack also came from Stour Valley Community School, which he attends.
Teacher Stuart Fairbairn rode alongside Jack for much of the challenge, while Kate Terry, head of year 11, went to cheer the pair on.
Jack, who did much of his fundraising at school, said his friends had been very supportive of his efforts.
He hopes to have raised £500 and plans to continue raising money for Help for Heroes in the future.

text: In addition to academic lessons learned at Sycamore Junior High School, students are also involved with caring for others, especially those less fortunate. Recently, student and staff participated in a collection of food for Northeast Emergency Distribution Services (NEEDS). NEEDS is a local organization that stocks a pantry for the hungry in our community, and thus all items are distributed in our general area. Sycamore Junior High School is the number one contributor to the local NEEDS organization for the entire year. Each first bell class had a competition to determine which one could collect the most cans per class as well as the most cans per student. This impetus gave vitality to the collection, and a very special moment came as class members carried the collections to the waiting truck shortly before the Thanksgiving break. In a time when many of the organizations which stock food pantries are having a difficult time, it is affirming to know that the students and staff of Sycamore Junior High have come to the aid of this important mission.The first bell class of Rob Reis collected the most cans per student, and Caryl Kerns and Marc Stern encouraged their students who came in second place for the most cans per student. Everyone felt a sense of caring for others, and life-long lessons of concern and sharing were learned. The Student Council provided the leadership for this important activity, and sponsors for this group are staff members Jessica Ruggiero and Marc Stern.

The famous flat-water sailing conditions on Geelong's Corio Bay are perfect for both the expert and novice class member. Boat speeds will get up which will ensure exciting racing for the sailors and the spectators.
'The flat water will definitely make it much easier for a novice crew to handle the boat and get around the course. Even when it is windy you will still be able to focus more on the racing, rather than just getting the boat around the course safely.
'The Northern Hemisphere guys have a perception that Australia is too windy. That was part of the reasoning behind selecting Geelong. We get sea breezes there, but they are not Perth sea breezes, not 25 knots.
'We want as many boats as possible finishing as many races as possible, while still having good conditions for the top ones to fairly fight out for the trophies', he added.
There'll be no chance of hypothermia at the Geelong championships with hot summer days greeting the Northern Hemisphere competitors as they enjoy the warm water and brilliant sunshine.
The host venue, Royal Geelong Yacht Club, is an internationally recognised regatta venue, which is known for its superb facilities, World Class race management and welcoming members and volunteers.
It's only a short walk from the club to a range of affordable accommodation choices and the centre of town, RGYC forms a great venue for both competitors and their families.
Geelong is known as the gateway to the magnificent Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula, offering visitors the chance to experience some of the World's best surf beaches, alongside award winning wineries and golf courses.
The social program for competitors and their families is going to be full of great activities to maximise the trip to Geelong. The Australian fleet members are planning to show to their international visitors many of their national championship traditions; including, daily post-race drinks and presentations, Aussie Barbeques and plenty of hometown hospitality.
The two Lay Days will have on offer plenty of activities, which the sailors and their family members can enjoy, including the choice of a visit to the local surf beach for some surfing lessons.
Standard Entries close on 14th November 2014. Late entries may be accepted after this time with a late entry administration fee of $AUD100 applying, until the close of entries on 12th December 2014.

CTS-V's massive stoppers installed on 2010 Camaro
Posted by: admin In: Main ()
When Pedders needed a brake upgrade for their Camaro, they looked everywhere and came right back to the GM parts bin. It took a while, but they sorted it out and found what they believe to be the most cost effective and perhaps best brake solution for the Camaro — THE CADILLAC OF BRAKES for the Camaro — CTS-V BRAKES! These are the same brakes that set a record on the Nurburgring with John Heinricy behind the wheel of s CTS-V as the fastest production sedan to run the ring.
Pedders documented and photographed the entire install process, so check HERE their entire install of these monster CTS-V brakes!

Paramedic denies blast involvement
West resident faces bomb-gear charges
Published 8:52 pm, Saturday, May 11, 2013
West, Texas
Three days after a massive explosion at a Texas fertilizer plant, Bryce Reed climbed onto a coffee table at a local hotel where displaced families picked over donated sweatshirts and pizza.
Wearing a navy blue shirt emblazoned with "West EMS," he gathered the crowd close.
"You're safe where you're at," Reed said, describing an anhydrous ammonia leak inside the rubble at the West Fertilizer Co. plant. "If you're not, I'd be dragging you out of here myself."
On Friday, Reed was charged with possessing bomb-making material nine days after the April 17 plant explosion, which killed 14 people, including 10 firefighters and paramedics.
Federal authorities stressed Reed has not been linked to the plant explosion, but won't say if Reed is suspected of having the bomb-making materials at the time of the blast, or if such materials may have contributed to the blast.
In a statement released Saturday, Reed's attorney, Jonathan Sibley, described his client as "heartbroken" and said Reed will plead not guilty to the explosives charge Wednesday. It also said Reed "had no involvement whatsoever in the explosion."
Officials have largely treated the West explosion as an industrial accident, though investigators are still searching for the cause of a fire that preceded the blast. A criminal investigation into the explosion was launched Friday.
Reed had been "let go" by West EMS as of April 19, the day before the speech, according to an email obtained by The Associated Press.
Reed was among the most vocal residents after the fatal explosion.
In an interview on April 21, he talked about facing his own mortality.
He said he'd lost 60 pounds in five months, yet doctors couldn't pinpoint the source of his ailing stomach despite performing 26 biopsies.

By Pauline Weston Thomas for Fashion-Era.com
Whilst pregnancy and birth were quiet private occasions for the Victorians, the
whole family looked forward to the public occasion of the christening as an event of
celebration. The Church insisted that babies were christened in a white garment,
a symbol of purity and innocence.
Christening robes of the 18th century were made of embroidered and
trimmed silk or satin. However, by the 19th century white embroidery on
fine cotton lawns, or fine linens was the fashionable, tasteful garment of
Large families were popular in the Victorian era, and therefore a mother might make one
very beautiful gown when she had the time whilst awaiting the arrival of her
first born child. Although many women had access to a sewing machine in mid-Victorian England they
preferred to hand-sow the Christening gown. One reason was that because
the gown was small and compact, it could be easily moved around the house from room to room in a
young matron's needlework bag. Victorian pregnant women, even if barely 18,
would as expectant mothers have been considered to be young matrons.
Once used and admired along with the new baby, the same christening robe would
then be packed away and carefully kept for the next occasion, and would probably
be used for every baby a mother bore. Well made Christening gowns were even handed down through the generations.
The robe as a result, became a family heirloom.
Mid-nineteenth century christening robes were often decorated with fine white
embroidery known as Ayrshire work. Ayrshire work consisted the embroidery
worked with extra needlework fillings and cutwork.
In the mid to late Victorian era the christening gown
skirts were lavishly ornamented with fine pin tucks and lace insertions. The
bodices of this era were also decorated with white embroidery too. Unlike
today, every baby would have worn a cap with the christening gown.
A mother may also have carried the baby to the church using a mantle or
beautiful shawl.
The picture right shows an Edwardian illustration for a cashmere baby cape
which would have been very suitable for such a special church and family gathering.
Right - Baby
Cape 1910
Very special christening robes ensured that any baby wearing one looked picture
perfect for the occasion and the event of having a family photograph taken to record
the day.
Christening robes are one of the few pieces of costume history that have seemed to survive
across a broad range of society,
probably because they launder well, are small enough to store easily and another
baby may get a one off use for it.
back in time and look toward the future with exquisite, Victorian-style
christening gifts and clothes from a distinctive fashion era.
Alternatively make your own christening robe using a Vogue sewing pattern, a
Butterick, Simplicity or McCalls dress Pattern. All make christening robe
patterns with heirloom sewing techniques.
The Edwardians were lucky enough to be able to buy ready made embroidered yokes
to which they added skirts in fabrics of their choice enabling them to make easy
dresses or gowns. such yokes could also be used as a top fresh cover up
over a dress just like a bib was used for protection. If the baby dribbled food
a fresh yoke could be used over a simple gown.

Taissumani, May 11
Saved by a Turd
It was January of 1923 and conditions in Foxe Basin were bitterly cold. Peter Freuchen was travelling by sled with another Dane, Helge Bangsted, and an Inuk from northern Greenland named Arqioq. They were mapping the Baffin coast east of Igloolik.
The loads their sleds carried were heavy and at one point they had to cache some items and proceed ahead to make camp. Freuchen then doubled back to retrieve the items and, on the way back to camp, a storm arose and he became lost.
No problem, he thought, I'll just build a snowhouse and wait for the storm to pass. But the snow conditions were not right and he was unable to build an igloo.
Desperately tired, he made a bad decision, one that would have terrible consequences for him.
But Freuchen's stories are best told by Freuchen himself – one of the best raconteurs the Arctic has ever known. Here is his story:
"I began digging in the solid snow and soon I had a depression long enough for me to lie down in. I put my sled on top of this strange bed… I had built my bed in such a way that the end opened into the cave where the dogs were asleep, and I left this side uncovered, since it was well protected by a large boulder.
"On my sled I had the skin of a bear's head I had killed some days before, and I took this along for a pillow. Finally as I crawled into my snug little shelter, I pulled my small sleeping bag in place with my foot, so that it covered the opening like a door.
"I was well protected against the sub-zero temperature, dressed like an Eskimo in two layers of fur… I had heavy boots and good gloves… Warm and comfortable at last, I soon fell asleep."
"When I finally woke up I was very cold. I knew I had to get out and move about at once. What worried me the most was the fact that my feet did not hurt any more – a sure sign of danger."
But Freuchen was trapped in his little cave. He had intended to simply push the sled away when he awoke, but snow had drifted over it and he was unable to move it. He rolled over and pushed up on it with his back, but the sled wouldn't budge. Hoping to dig his way out, he discovered that the condensation from his breath had turned the walls of the tiny cavity into ice.
He tried scratching with his hands, but that proved futile. Freuchen was buried alive! Desperate, he managed to pull the skin of the bear's head down from the end of the cave. He chewed on the edge of it until it was saturated with spit, then let it freeze. He was able to dig a little with the frozen skin, but it softened quickly. Nonetheless, he managed to create a small hole. Then things got worse.
"I pushed with all my strength but the hole was much too small. I got out far enough to expose my face to the drifting snow. My long beard was moist from my breathing and from the spit which had drooled from my bearskin. The moment my face got through the hole my beard came in contact with the runners of the sled and instantly froze to them. I was trapped. The hole was too small to let me get through, my beard would not let me retire into my grave again. But what a way to die – my body twisted in an unnatural position, my beard frozen to the sled above, and the storm beating my face without mercy…
"With all my strength I pulled my head back. At first the beard would not come free, but I went on pulling and my whiskers and some of my skin were torn off, and finally I got loose. I withdrew into my hole and stretched out once more."
After resting for a time, Freuchen had a new idea. He explains:
"I had often seen dog's dung in the sled track and had noticed that it would freeze as solid as a rock. Would not the cold have the same effect on human discharge? Repulsive as the thought was, I decided to try the experiment. I moved my bowels and from the excrement I managed to fashion a chisel-like instrument which I left to freeze. This time I was patient. I did not want to risk breaking my new tool by using it too soon. While I waited the hole I had made filled up with fresh snow. It was soft and easy to remove, but I had to pull it down into my grave, which was slowly filling up. At last I decided to try my chisel, and it worked! Very gently and very slowly I worked at the hole. As I dug I could feel the blood trickling down my face from the scars where the beard had been torn away."
Freuchen managed to work his body into the hole, and to move the sled which had blocked his passage. He was free at last, his life saved by his own excrement.
He concludes: "Fortunately, I then did not know the ordeal was to cost me my foot."

John Mayes:
A Preliminary Inventory of His Family Papers at the Harry Ransom Center
Scope and Contents
The John Mayes Family Papers, circa 1879-1970s, document the lives and lengthy careers of three generations of British actors, writers, and artists. Among the primary family members were brothers Herbert Pearson (1866-1955, born McPherson) and Quinton McPherson (1871-1940); Quinton's daughter Esther McPherson (1897-1965) and her husband Frank Milray (1888-1936, born Mayes); and the son of Esther and Frank, John Mayes (1921-2012). John Mayes, who acted with the well-known Shakespearean actor-manager Donald Wolfit, brought together his family's papers with his own, including his research and notes about the family. The papers are organized into six series: I. John Mayes; II. Esther McPherson; III. Quinton McPherson; IV. Frank Milray; V. Herbert Pearson, and VI. The Spotlight Casting Directory.
John Mayes's papers in Series I. contain correspondence and programs concerning his own career, as well as correspondence from Donald Wolfit, programs and clippings about Mayes and Wolfit, writings about Wolfit, and even souvenirs such as moustache and beard pieces used by Wolfit.
The papers of Mayes' mother, Esther McPherson, in Series II. contain some correspondence and management papers, her review cuttings, photographs, and editions of Shakespeare plays with her parts marked.
Quinton McPherson, the grandfather of John Mayes, is represented by materials in Series III. These comprise mainly correspondence, programs, and his press cuttings book, but also photographs, an address book, and other personal objects.
Series IV. contains the papers of Frank Milray, husband of Esther McPherson and father of John Mayes. Included are manuscripts of his works, original art, clippings of articles, photographs, programs, and a theatrical address book. Also present are Temple editions of fifteen Shakespeare plays, with Milray's parts underlined.
The papers of John Mayes' great-uncle, Herbert Pearson, contain correspondence, several of Pearson's works, and photographs, as well as papers relating to his relationship with actress and author Florence Marryat, and with actress and wife Katherine Clark.
The final series contains The Spotlight casting directories for 1939, 1950 and 1956. Photographic portraits of Quinton McPherson and Esther McPherson are found in the Summer 1939 issue. The second volume of Autumn 1956 also contains images of Esther McPherson.

Thousands gather as Admiralty rally airs clips from HKTV shows - for free
Excerpts from a much-awaited drama projected onto giant screen outside government headquarters in defiance of licensing rejection
Thousands of people left their small screens at home and gathered at the government headquarters in Admiralty last night to watch clips of Hong Kong Television Network (HKTV) productions that might not otherwise get the chance to be aired for free.
Thunderous applause greeted footage of crime thriller The Borderline and infotainment show The Challenge at the protest, a continuation of Sunday's rally against a government decision to leave HKTV out of the free-television market while issuing licences to i-Cable's Fantastic Television and PCCW's HK Television Entertainment.
The first episode of Borderline, which went on YouTube in June, had attracted 850,000 views by last night. Borderline actor Liu Kai-chi told the audience that the company had changed the culture for drama actors.
"It has been a long time since I enjoyed acting in a drama. It used to be long hours of working without dignity or creativity," the former TVB actor said. "But now at HKTV, I am given time to rest, to digest and to ponder on my character. I can enjoy acting again."
Anthony Wong Chau-Sang, newly elected member of the Arts Development Council, said the incident had affected at least 60 students from the Academy for Performing Arts, where he was chairman of the alumni. "This is clearly a black-box operation."
Video: HKTV supporters gather at Hong Kong government to protest against failed licence bid for second night
The protest is staged by HKTV staff. HKTV staff union chairman Henry Yeung Chi-ho estimated the crowd last night at 10,000.
The union estimated 80,000 turned up on Sunday. The police put the number at 36,000 - the same as their estimate last year for a rally against the national education curriculum that organisers said drew more than 100,000 people. Police said 2,000 people were at the rally last night.
After Sunday's action, about 100 staff members - both existing employees and some of the 320 who have been laid off - formed a "justice alliance" and camped outside the Tamar offices. They are giving the government seven days to explain its decision.
They also said they had never asked for donations and warned the public to be careful of people claiming to raise funds for them.
Alliance spokeswoman Crystal Lee Ka-sin said they had elected a 15-member committee, with decisions made by consensus reached by staff.
The alliance would work out how to sustain its movement after the Executive Council met today, she said.
The 11/2-hour rally ended at 10pm in an emotional sea of light as participants waved cellphones lit up on torch mode and sang This is My Dream.
HKTV reporter Cecilia Kwok Wing-Sze said thoughts of giving up journalism crossed her mind after she was made redundant.
"But your applause today tells me not to give up," a tearful Kwok said on stage after a screening of her interview with Myanmese Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
Lawmaker Charles Mok said he would seek to invoke the legislature's powers to look into the decision. "This is not the end," he said.

I didn't learn to swim for a long time growing up, because of "She-Ra: Princess of Power." See, I was born in the 1980s, and when I was five, my parents signed me up for swim lessons. But those classes meant I had to skip my favorite animated princess adventure at least once a week, and I threw a temper tantrum so epic that my parents basically gave up on the idea until I was older and more reasonable. (Sorry I was a brat, Mom and Dad.)
That story won't make any sense to the generation currently in diapers, because between DVR, DVD, and VOD, they will have little-to-no concept of television programming that can't be time-shifted. And that's just what Netflix and Amazon are banking on.
One of the more interesting battles over the last six months has been between the two companies and that most precious of commodities — quality children's television. Not only are both companies committing huge resources to developing original content for kids — Netflix in partnership with DreamWorks, Amazon through its Amazon Studios project — but they are also exclusively licensing more and more mainstreaming kids shows.
Amazon, as it seeks to build its Prime Instant Video offering, is leaning especially hard on this approach, most recently striking an exclusive deal with Viacom for children's programming.
This proves to be extremely smart, because while the battles involve big companies like Disney and Viacom, the real chess pieces in play are beloved characters such as Twilight Sparkle, Mickey Mouse, and Dora the Explorer.
And that turns out to be huge. This is because an adult — who's hopefully learned how to process disappointment — can handle "Downton Abbey" being unavailable on Netflix (there are plenty of other British costume dramas available on the service, after all).
But when you're a child and already feeling pretty powerless, being told that there's no more "Dora" has been documented by parents as heart-breaking.
It's a natural side effect of growing up with the expectation of instant access to this content, not to mention the blurring of the line between what you watch and where you watch it.
I have a young cousin who's grown up with both cable TV and web video access, and she makes no distinction between Disney Channel on TV and DisneyChannel.com on the computer — to her, it's all the same.
Aiming young and encouraging these habits isn't just a smart move right now — it's an approach that should in theory help both Netflix and Amazon thrive in the future. The important thing is the content available; both sites have strong offerings (I didn't even realize how much Disney content Netflix was currently hosting until I dug into their Netflix for Kids interface) but the more exclusive each side gets, the more parents will either have to pick between them — or subscribe to both.
Because when a kid wants something, it's hard for a parent to say no.
"She-Ra: Princess of Power," by the way, is currently available on Netflix. (But it doesn't really hold up.)

Posted on 03/23/2002 2:13:25 PM PST by Congressman Billybob
Help Fight Shays-Meehan (CFR)
As many of you know, one of your colleagues, Congressman Billybob (John Armor, Esq., in real life) will file one of the briefs in the US Supreme Court in opposition to Shays-Meehan.
He will file it on behalf of the American Civil Rights Union, which believes in protecting and enforcing the Constitution as written. One of its Advisory Board members is the Hon. Robert Bork.
Click here to visit the ACRU website.
This brief does not depend on your responses to this notice. It will be filed in any event. But all FReepers who wish to play a role in the effort to have Shays-Meehan declared unconstitutional, are invited to contribute what they choose to the ACRU. It is a tax-deductible, legal charity.
All who contribute at least $25 will receive a copy of the Supreme Court brief. Please visit the ACRU site to confirm that their vision of the Constitution is the same as yours, and the same as that of Jim Robinson and FreeRepublic.
Then if you wish to help, mail your checks to:
American Civil Rights Union
3213 Duke Street
Number 625
Alexandria, VA 22314
Be sure to include your name and address if you wish to receive a copy of the Supreme Court brief. Write "FreeRepublic" on the memo line of your check so we know you responded to this appeal. Include your screen name if you would like to be thanked publicly on this thread. Do NOT send any contributions greater than $100. Reserve such large donations for FreeRepublic.
You will NOT get on any mailing list, snail mail, e-mail, or otherwise, by responding to this request. All information will be kept in strict confidence, unless you include your screen name so you can be thanked on this thread by that name.
By the way, the ACRU was the client for the very successful brief also filed by Congressman Billybob in the Bush/Florida case. The text of that brief was posted on FreeRepublic in December, 2000.
If you have any questions about this message, please contact: email@example.com
Thank you for your consideration of this request for help. (Both Congressman Billybob and the American Civil Rights Union are entirely independent of FreeRepublic. However, this request is being posted with the permission of Jim Robinson.)
Yes, it does.
I didn't doubt Mr. Starr's abilities, I only doubted his desire to win and now I'm hopeful. And, if what you predict is the ultimate outcome, then I support this tactic on the part of the Bush administration.
Now, if only someone could make me believe that Bush doesn't intend to turn over the southwest to Mexico and that he really does have a problem with the constitutionality of a world tax.
So I thank YOU for taking time to send a note.

David Frum, Columbia statistician spar over inequality
The conservative commentator David Frum argued in the New York Times magazine last week, in a wide-ranging essay, that Republicans should be more worried about inequality than they are -- but statistician Andrew Gelman, of Columbia, author of the new book "Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State: Why Americans Vote the Way They Do," instantly took issue with some of the facts Frum wielded along the way.
One of Frum's major points was: "As a general rule, the more unequal a place is, the more Democratic; the more equal, the more Republican." For example, he pointed out that Democratic Washington, DC, is far more unequal than Republican Charlotte, NC.
Gelman, however, argued that this claim is far from true at the state level: California is characterized by significant inequality and votes Democratic, yet Texas is also characterized by serious economically disparity but votes Republican. "It is in the rich states, but not consistently the unequal states, that Democrats are doing best," Gelman wrote on his blog. (He posted a map making that case in graphical form.)
Touching on a frequent conservative-populist refrain, Frum also claimed that "America's wealthiest ZIP codes are a roll call of Democratic strongholds," which is why, he said, the conservative Bill O'Reilly can effectively recruit Republicans by railing against people "who vacation in the Hamptons, Aspen and the Virginia horse country."
Gelman, however, responds: "Again, this is a red-state, blue-state thing. In the coastal blue states, rich areas are likely to lean Democratic, but in red states, rich areas are more Republican."
Consider the following two scatterplots of data from Texas and Massachusetts, which represent the relationship between income (at the county level) and votes for George W. Bush in 2000. On his blog, Gelman actually made the point using Texas and Maryland, but he created the Massachusetts at my request:
As you can see, in Texas, the richer the county, the surer you can be it went for Bush, sometimes by astonishing margins; in Massachusetts, however, more people in lower-middle-class Hampden County went for Bush than did so in considerably wealthier Norfolk County. The curve is flatter.
On his own blog, Frum mounted some counterarguments: you can find red states that look more like Massachusetts than Texas (such as Missouri); and he insisted that city data on inequality paint a more accurate picture than state-wide data. (I wonder about that: Washington, DC, differs qualitatively from Charlotte, NC in ways income statistics can't capture.) But Gelman's overall point seems to stand: Social-scientific analysis reveals a more complex story the one Frum told in the Times.
Other recent social-scientific work contradicts Frum, too: A main point of Larry Bartel's superb "Unequal Democracy: The Political Economy of the New Gilded Age" -- published, as Gelman's book is, by Princeton University Press -- is that, cherry-picked examples of zip codes aside, the bond between high-income voters and the Republican party has strengthened over the past half century. Over the same period, Democrats have strengthened their hold on the poor and those with college degrees (who overlap only partly with the high-income group) -- and they have made inroads among high-income professionals.

The CNRM views a highly collaborative team approach to be of most benefit and aims to stimulate innovative research developed from the collective expertise within and across research programs.
The CNRM is comprised of six interacting Programs. Each of the CNRM Programs oversees and supports a series of research subprojects. The research subproject plans were developed from working group discussions and collaborations among more than two hundred and fifty investigators with a range of scientific backgrounds and affiliations. The six integrated CNRM Programs provide an unprecedented opportunity for interdisciplinary approaches to TBI research.
To develop the CNRM research plans the investigators engaged in regular working group meetings to establish interactions with other investigators and synergy across Programs. This phase of discussions prior to writing specific research subprojects was integral to generating and internally vetting the CNRM's scientific research development. The goal of each Program was to develop a set of research subprojects that supported one another to further the technical or scientific impact of the studies within each Program.
The prioritization for subprojects to be supported within the CNRM was based on:
- Ability to address gaps in TBI research, especially for issues relevant to the military patients in the national capital area.
- Collaborative research plans among DoD investigators at USUHS and other collaborating DoD institutions, or, as collaborations of NIH investigators with scientists and clinicians at USU and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC).
- Scientific merit and potential impact in the field.
- Overall importance for CNRM goals, including project synergy across Programs.
The CNRM's mutually reinforcing recruitment and phenotyping of patients contributes to the six Program's specific research protocols to improve the research quality across all the subprojects involving human studies. The CNRM's pairing of animal studies and human studies in specific areas, including histopathology, imaging, biomarkers, and neuroplasticity/rehabilitation, is designed to take full advantage of the ability of the CNRM to coordinate efforts across Programs.
Working Groups
To develop the CNRM Program Projects, Program Leaders were appointed by Dr. Charles Rice, President USU, with Co-Leaders from NIH added with recommendations from the relevant NIH Institute Directors. An initial nucleus of investigators was identified to address the needed range of expertise and institutional representation for each working group to develop a research plan for each Program. Additional investigators were added to the working groups from responses to NIH Town Hall meetings and CNRM Interest Survey Responses, which were solicited through distribution to the faculty at USU and investigators at WRAMC, NNMC, AFIP, NMRC and NIH.
Investigators who wish to join the discussions of a CNRM working group should contact the relevant Program Leader or Co-Leader, or the CNRM Director or Co-Director.

Redo stock system?
I'm pretty sure the factory system in my '96 328i is gone.. The rears have lots of distorted low-end bass, and the fronts are WHISPER quiet! I want to replace these parts with cost-effective setups as I'm on a limited budget and don't want to invest loads more $$ into the car. Any suggestions for redoing the speakers and replacing stock HU with another simple-factory-look-alike setup? I'm also sure a new AMP will be needed (what about wirirng, will I need to put new ones in?). Lastly I'm looking for a HU with an auxilliary input (ie. for an external MP3 player to be plugged in).
Any info is appreciated. Thanks guys!
what is your budget???
Say under $800 (keep it as low as possible), I'm not looking to use a sub just yet.
thats lots of money to make something good for highs! paul set him up buddy!
^^^I will look in it for him,but not say anything good but 800 for front and rear spearkers and a 4 channel amp,is too low........I will see for you ok...
depends for me and you no its not lol but for a daily and a person who doesnt wanna go comp with it it should be ok.
Thanks guys! Paul, please keep it lower than that if possible! I'm not looking for audiophile level stuff here, just something decent enough to get by with good highs mids and lows. Nothing extra-special :)
^^^I know but at your buget it will be hard to that,but I will try to find stuff ok....have you tryed BEST BUY....
your front are done,for the amp I would keep it for now and do the speakers(front and back)run new wire too but not to hook it up tell you ccan get some nicer amps(3).......BEST BUY has some nice stuff,but not best stuff...
What size do you recommened for decent bass output from the rears and fronts, without significant mods to the car's door/rear deck panels?
6" mid bass in the fronts and yes it can be done i have it done! lol i have 6.5" comps in the front
yes a 6 or 6.5,in the door 4" and tweeter set-up,so you may us a 2 way but a 3way nicer....
Don't the bigger speakers require cutting?
Also what about this setup:
6x9 conversions in rear (anyone sell those adapter plates cheaper than BSW?)
6" in the door panel
and 4" in the front doors.
you car has a 6 or 6.5 in the kick panel and the doors a 4" and tweeter like I said once before,and the rear 5.25 or 4", I would stall away from 6x9 all togather...

text: My freind's father is terminally sick back in mainland China. His condition is getting worse and worse, he suffers from terrible pains. The doctors cannot do anything and my friend asked me to ask other specialists, maybe someone has an idea or has seen such a thing before. He is not asking for a special diagnosis and prescription. Just ideas, some guidance that could help to lessen the pains of his father. Below is a short description coming from the doctor of the patient. Thank you. Patent: Male, age 72 On April 28, 1994, the patient suffered a cerebral infarction (middle arterial embolism in the right cerebral hemisphere) and as the result, the left side of the brain got paralyzed. In May this year, in the upper knee joint of the right leg appeared a herpes zoster which was cured after a week's treatment. But soon there followed sharp pains in the interval of every one hour or so in the right leg. The pains have been progressively worse with tic (tie?) all over when attacked. Recently the attack was accompanied by spasms of bronchi and blood vessel and deficiency of myocardial blood supply. Now the patient is tracheotomized and depends on a respirator. There has been no obvious effect in the adoption of various pain-killer and nervus femoralis and extra dural seating. Request: diagnosis (of the cause of the pains) and the effective treatments. Should the thalamic brain be considered? A new development is that at the time of pain attacks, the patient has a heart rate of 145-160/min. The doctor has given him morphium but the palpitation and the pains did not decrease. LAter, the doctor gave him a tranquilizer (Injetio Diazepami) and, as a result, the pains and the palpitation settled and after 15 minutes the patient fell asleep. On this account, the doctor suspects that the pain might be due to the thalamic brain.

More money should be set aside for tackling fraud in the NHS, a leading figure has said, as new figures showed that scams are costing the health service an estimated £5 billion a year.
Jim Gee, former director of NHS Counter Fraud Services, said cutting the cost of fraud should be made a priority in the health service, ahead of savings to patient services or quality.
His remarks, in a Panorama programme to be broadcast on BBC One, come ahead of the publication of a study co-authored by Mr Gee showing that fraud is costing the NHS £5 billion a year, with a further £2 billion lost to errors.
The amount lost to fraud alone could pay for nearly 250,000 new nurses, the BBC reported.
Mr Gee, who led the NHS anti-fraud section for eight years, said his estimates for fraud in the NHS were 20 times than those recorded in the Government's annual fraud indicator report.
He told Panorama: "We need to not be embarrassed, or in denial, about the possibility of fraud taking place in the NHS.
"We need to get on with tackling the problem, minimising its cost, maximising resources available for proper patient care."
The £2 billion cost of errors relate to when the NHS makes overpayments by mistake to suppliers or staff.
Although the NHS has a budget of about £100 billion, it is having to make significant savings and should prioritise fighting fraud, said Mr Gee.
"I think fraud is one of the last great unreduced healthcare costs. And, to me, putting money into it makes absolute sense," he said.
"It's one of the least painful ways of cutting costs. It makes absolute sense to cut the cost of fraud before you cut the quality or extent of patient services."
Mr Gee told the BBC that his figure was higher than the Government estimate because its annual fraud indicator report only relates to pharmaceutical and dental services, and does not include losses taking place in payroll and procurement expenditure, for example.
Panorama also found that NHS Protect, the national body which investigates fraud in England for the Department of Health, has had its budget cut by around 30% since 2006.
A Freedom of Information request by the BBC showed that NHS Protect employs 27 counter-fraud specialists, with a further 294 investigators working at a local level.
By contrast, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) employs six times the number of investigators, according to Panorama - but if Mr Gee's figures are accurate, they face less than half the amount of fraud.
The Department of Health said it did not "recognise" the figures for fraud in the report and was not aware of any published research showing how the figures were calculated. It said it did not speculate on levels of losses.
A DoH spokeswoman said: "Fraud against the NHS is a crime that can have a serious impact on our ability to deliver high-quality health services.
"Any allegation or suspicion of fraud should be referred to NHS Protect, who are required to take appropriate action. When fraud is proven, we expect all appropriate sanctions and recovery action to take place."

***I also vlogged about all of this, scroll down to the bottom to watch!***
I had my last uterine lining check done and everything looks great! It was very satisfying to see how happy the doctor looked with how my body is progressing with the medications. Especially because this doctor intimidates me haha, he is very nice but his bed side manner is just very strict, maybe because he just has so many things going on in his mind; but, he is one of the best if not the best in the business so as long as everything works out he can treat me however he wishes. He said that my lining is beautiful and is at a 15mm. They like for it to be at least an 8mm, I asked the nurse if it helps more for a successful transfer and she said that yes it does, to what extent I'm not sure but I think it makes sense that a thicker wall is more likely to keep the embryo inside. The doctor also told me that the thickest it can get is 20mm I still have 8 days left and I'm hoping for a 20 before the embryo transfer! I'm doing so well on the medications that he even lowered the medication that I am taking to help thicken the lining. I won't know for sure how thick the lining will be before transfer because this was the last ultrasound.
After the quick ultrasound I met him in his office and he went over the medication protocol for that day and up to the day of transfer. After the transfer he will give me new instructions for protocol of medications. The medications from Sunday to the day of the transfer which will be Friday goes crazy. I will be on 7 different types of medications both muscular injections and oral tablets.
I am still drinking my pomegranate juice which I truly believes helps significantly. I remember last transfer I believe my lining was at a 12mm before transfer and now it sounds like it's going to be at a 20mm. I started drinking it the day I started the Delestrogen, which is the inject able medication that helps thicken the lining, at 8 ounces a day. I have also been in communication with other surrogates and they too confirm that the POM juice helped them with their lining. Today was the last day of my estrogen patch and also for taking Lupron. I have blood work two days before the transfer and that's about it until T-Day!
I am getting so anxious and very hopeful, the last transfer I had back in August went very smooth but this one is going even better. My body responded well last time to medications but this time my body is doing even better this time around. It is very discouraging when i hear about other surrogates who have had embryo transfers just recently and their results come back negative or that their blood is showing the pregnancy hormone but that the embryo just didn't make it and then worse yet is when there is a strong pregnancy hormone and the levels are great but then at the ultrasound the technician cannot find a heartbeat. Hearing all of this really makes you hope that it's not going to happen to you but it also gets your mind to accept that that might happen. I had a hard time in the weeks leading up to this one with just a lot of doubt and especially because I had a failed transfer before. I have been praying for peace and God has provided that, this week I have been feeling very hopeful and more at ease.I have a good community of surrogates and others who have been through this process, who are supporting me with their words of encouragement.
This time around I feel more educated about the process and exactly what the medications are doing to my body. I also know the realty and chances of the success of an embryo transfer. With knowing everything that is going to happen I feel much more at ease so my body is also a lot less stressed. The last transfer I was so bitter towards having to have a shot and sometimes two shots a day(twice a week) in my butt for all of this, I thought carrying the child was enough of a sacrifice but then to also add shots into the mix I really didn't have the right attitude. When I found out that the transfer wasn't successful I actually missed the shots because the shots represented that there was a baby. This time around I don't mind the shots at all, I can honestly barely feel them, I think what helps is that my body is so relaxed. I'm also a lot less stressed because I know everything that happens during the transfer and what has to happen afterwards. At the last transfer I didn't have much sense of what was to happen and I didn't find out that I was supposed to be on further restrictions after the transfer(3 days bed rest) and then I can't lift anything heavier than 5 pounds and I cannot walk for more than an hour at a time. I found all of that out the day of the transfer. I was annoyed with the agency for not telling me all of this and I really think they need to tell the surrogate absolutely everything that they will need to be doing; but, I also understand that the agency has only a certain amount of women on their staff and there are many surrogates that they are communicating with. Maybe make a huge packet of everything that is to happen?
All in all I feel much better and much more confident this time around, please send a prayer for me!
