New study captures the value of new medicines in middle-income countries
An independent study conducted by Charles River Associates (CRA) demonstrates that there is clear evidence that innovative medicines have delivered significant value by reducing healthcare costs and benefitting both patients and wider society. However, there remains enormous untapped potential of adopting innovative medicines more widely in middle-income countries (MICs). This can be achieved by national prioritization, investments in healthcare infrastructure and building better epidemiological and cost databases for effective evaluation of therapies.
The study, Assessing the Value of Biopharmaceutical Innovation in Key Therapy Areas in Middle Income Countries, was commissioned by the IFPMA and examined the value of innovation in five key therapy areas: coronary heart disease (CHD), depression, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and rotavirus infection.
In the case of rotavirus, the most common cause of severe diarrhoea among children in both industrialized and developing countries, Tim Wilsdon, CRA Vice President, said, "We compared the value that two recently-launched vaccines yielded in Brazil and Australia. The major benefit seen in both countries was a direct drop in hospitalization costs, but in Brazil we also witnessed a major decline in related mortality rates. So obviously both benefitted from these innovations, but given the nature of the disease burden the added value was greater for Brazil."
Commenting on the study findings, Eduardo Pisani, IFPMA Director General, added that "We now have evidence that in MICs innovative therapies have the potential to create significant value that goes far beyond pricing and reimbursement. Both the social and economic benefits should be taken into account in any calculation of value."
Pisani added, "If we look closer to coronary heart disease which is by the way the leading cause of premature death and disability for MICs, so far only Brazil, India and China have included cardiovascular diseases within their national plans to fight against non-communicable diseases initiated three years ago. The impact is there, yet we see a significant opportunity for more health gains, from the widespread deployment of these new medicines, than ever before."
The study highlights that new therapies are now available but they still need to be adopted more widely. To maximize their value and extend them to broader outreach, countries must first ensure availability of adequate resources. They should also engage in country-specific data collection on epidemiology, and strengthen their health systems to more accurately guide policy and the implementation of programmes for both communicable and non-communicable diseases.

GNU XaoS
XaoS is a graphical program that generates fractal patterns and allows you to zoom in and out of them infinitely in a fluid, continuous manner. It also includes tutorials that help to explain how fractals are built. It can generate many different fractal types such as the Mandelbrot set. Various coloring modes are provided for both the points inside and outside the selected set. In addition, switching between Julia and Mandelbrot fractal types and displaying planes is provided.
The first version written by Thomas Marsh was a simple Mandelbrot viewer, later modified by Jan Hubicka to support high frame-rate zooming. Other additions were later made including autopilot, palette changing, PNG saving, and fractal inversion, making GNU XaoS a fast portable real-time interactive fractal zoomer.

In over two years of writing for PopMatters, I've never scored the review of any game higher than an 8 out of 10, and I've only reached that plateau on three occasions. Those three games, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (8 Nov 2012), Expeditions Conquistador (17 Feb 2013), and Hate Plus (28 Aug 2013) earned those scores because I knew I'd have plenty to write about in the weeks after playing them. I found every time that I tried to write about these games that I couldn't—and still haven't—given all the ideas they dealt with the treatment they deserved. It might come across as trite, but these games gave me a lot to think about, and in some small measure, they had an impact on me. Recent coverage on the latest major release, however, has made me wonder if I've been doing it wrong
When editor G. Christopher Williams handed me my reviewer's badge and gun he warned me against scoring anything higher than an 8 out of 10 and that a 10 out of 10 probably doesn't exist. Though doing away with a score entirely would probably be for the best. If one must have a review score, then PopMatters's standards are probably the fairest to go by (they're in the right column on any review page). But with Grand Theft Auto V making the rounds in every major gaming publication associated with Metacritic, it begs the question of what we're hoping to get out of video games in the first place.
As the reader is no doubt aware, Grand Theft Auto V was released last week, and immediately every critic worth their salt has promised that in moment one can expect to be having at least 9 of a possible 10 worth of fun. Some moments in the game reek of misogyny (Carolyn Petit, "Review: Grand Theft Auto V", Gamespot, 16 Sep 2013), and sometimes the violence therein is gratuitous and disturbing (Simon Parkin, "How Evil Should a Video Game Allow You to Be?", The New Yorker, 17 Sep 2013). However, there is apparently still enough "funs" available in the game for it to represent the art of interactivity. There is an exceptional fun to dollar ratio to be had in the game, making it the Citizen Kane-themed Slip 'n Slide of video games
Questions about what kind of fun it offers and for whom the fun is intended are not fun to answer. In fact, questions of any kind aren't fun. Looking too deeply into GTA V isn't just pretentious, it literally devalues the game. So what is the point of GTA V other than to preview GTA VI? Why was it made if not to raise the standard of fun a little bit, but not so much that it can't be raised yet a little further that next time?
Games very frequently communicate thought provoking ideas. They are a powerful mode of communication that often say beautiful, frightening, and meaningful things. Even GTA V might be capable of such things, as suggested last week on this very site (G. Christopher Williams, "Grand Theft HBO", PopMatters, 18 Sep 2013). But that still begs the question of what developers are striving to produce and what audiences are hoping to gain from games, the communication or the raw stimulation?
It isn't just that games are often reviewed like kitchen appliances (Lana Polansky, "I'd Give It a 7: Reviewing the Weight of Reviews", Bit Creature, 31 Oct 2012) or that every new triple A release is fawned over by self important yes-men (M. S. B. "Satire Doesn't Change Anything But I Still Enjoy It", Magical Wasteland. 20 July 2013.), the problem is that it's unclear what the point of video games is. Games may do many things, positive and not so positive, intentional and unintentional, but around the time of a major release sometimes it's hard to see what the objective is.

Industrial Dynamics and Structural Change: A Framework for the Analysis of Sectoral Dynamics in a Set of Countries
In this paper, I present a framework for the comparative analysis of the national/regional dynamics of accumulation, technical change and employment from a (here, only sectorally) disaggregated point of view. It focuses on the characteristics of "dynamic variety" and is oriented to empirical apllications, some of which are reviewed. Dynamic variety across time will be treated as a manifestation of underlying structural change.

Wondering where to be at SAP Sapphire 2011? Attendees share plans
With SAP Sapphire Now just weeks away, attendees talk about what they want to get out of the annual event.
Some will be heading to the upcoming SAP Sapphire 2011 conference to network, and some will be going to learn about...

new SAP applications.
For Archana Sharma and others like her, the trip to Florida is about pain.
Sharma, an SAP program manager for Bell Canada in Toronto, said she's most interested in learning more about SAP ERP supply chain and financials so she and her team can consolidate the financial data in the telecommunication company's merchandising and service plan operations.
"It's not easy," she said. "One is retail, and the other is non-retail."
Others come to listen, just not to SAP.
"We have a pretty good relationship with SAP," said Christian Matz, managing director at the consulting firm Ecenta America Inc., based in Bellevue, Wash. "A lot of things that are going on at Sapphire we've already heard about, or may have already seen."
It's more important to find out what SAP customers are interested in, especially in the firm's specialty areas of CRM implementation and change management. "For me, it's all about networking," Matz said.
Learning more about Solution Manager, mobile computing and in-memory technology was at the top of the list for David Hull, SAP solution architect for The Walt Disney Co.
Disney is getting ready to do a proof of concept for HANA, SAP's high-speed analytics appliance, looking at ways it can use in-memory analytics for its general ledger financials, according to Hull. He will be there to see if the technology was all that it's cracked up to be, he said. "There's a lot of talk about what it's going to do, but nobody's doing it yet."
Although he said he typically attends as many sessions as possible, Hull said networking sessions will probably be the most effective way to get some of the answers he needs. "That's where they have all different kinds of speakers, special briefings by some of the product managers," Hull said. "It's usually when sessions are going on, so if I have to choose, I'm probably going to the networking lounge."
He also said that the networking lounge is also the best place to not only network with SAP managers, but also to get to know other conference attendees, as those events are more conducive to asking questions and exchanging information.
After all, he said, if the person next to you is asking the same kind of questions, he likely has the same kind of IT challenges or interests, Hull said.
For Brian Sommer, an analyst and head of Vital Analysis, a technology consulting firm in Batavia, Ill., Sapphire will be an opportunity to get further into the details of SAP's on-demand ERP suite Business ByDesign.
"They're taking the gloves off of this thing," Sommer said.
Vendors like Panaya Inc. are also on Sommer's list of people to talk with, he said. Panaya is a company that puts a "virtual" copy of a customer's ERP system in the cloud. and The company then uses that copy to simulate upgrades and fixes to work through beforehand any challenges that might come up during the actual on-premises work, Sommer said.
His plans also include talking with systems integrators such as IBM that handle the upgrades and patches to SAP ERP systems on behalf of their customers by hosting those same systems in the cloud. What will happen to that model now with the ongoing popularity of applications that are natively hosted in the cloud and therefore maintained by SAP itself, Sommer said he wants to know.
"You can see the end of that day coming," he said.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When we zoomed into the first quarter, we had a multi-cylinder market.
Smart devices were powering a tech boom. Big exporters were taking advantage of robust economies in East Asia and a renewed Europe that seemed to put its troubled finances behind it. Banks, having paid back TARP, were ready to return capital. Health care, freed from the cloud of regulation, seemed ready to take off. What a difference three months make. European debt concerns resurfaced and interest rates have climbed ever higher in Portugal, Greece and Spain. North Africa and the Middle East played dominoes, started by political uprisings in Tunisia that dropped into Egypt and then headed for Bahrain and Saudi Arabia before landing in Libya, driving oil up to $100 a barrel in their wake. An earthquake and tsunami slammed into Japan, causing tragedy and fear in the markets, courtesy of runaway nukes, that was unprecedented. Besides the incredibly sad loss of life, the ensuing destruction seems incalculable given the inability to reach some areas or the isolation of regions affected by radiation fallout. Major benchmarks have stalled after climbing by double digits during the previous two quarters. Where do investors go from here? Let's start with where they shouldn't go in the second quarter: 1. China - Chinese inflation has gotten away from the government, something a planned economy can't tolerate. We had escaped any real slowdown from China's interest rate increases until near the end of the quarter when telecom equipment makers Finisar ( FNSR) and Ciena ( CIEN) signaled that business in China was slowing. Finisar went as far as to say there's a telecom equipment inventory "correction," meaning too much equipment and not enough demand. The guidance cut Finisar shares in half and had a deleterious effect on all the tech stocks that sell to the cellphone equipment and broadband sector. 2. Tech stocks - Tech could have withstood the shock of too much inventory in one country, even one as powerful as China, if it was the only soft story out there. But a growing glut in the tablet computer market will likely create more problems for the industry.

He's definitely a smallish guy. 5'11" and listed at 182, but most people say he's not really that heavy. Maybe wet, and after a big meal. Haha. And those big jerseys always make him look skinnier. I honestly think he's looked slimmer in the face after the tragedy in Washington. But maybe that's just me. But some photos back in Montreal and in Colorado his face looked fuller. And after that he just looked slimmer in the face. Probably me looking way too closely or something.

And I'm sorry, but his neck is so beautiful. And that's all I'll say about that. So glad he didn't have a turtleneck on this season!! Love the warmer Florida weather. ;o) And his tan...thank you, Florida sun!

Higher Ground
Good Morning,
Filling the hallway of Lowrey this morning was the hauntingly beautiful sound of classic hymns being played on a flute crafted from a piece of bamboo by one of our very own students, Chas Monaghan. What a way to start the week! The melody called to mind the hymnist's prayer: "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground." May that be our prayer as we begin the first full week of class at BMC.
Doesn't it feel great to have our students back on campus! May Spring 2013 be your best semester ever and may you pursue your studies with excellence, being diligent to think Christianly about your discipline and about how you will use new-found knowledge and skills to make a difference for the Kingdom of God.
I am pleased to announce that Jack Moser has accepted the position of interim Vice President for Enrollment and Student Services. Please join me in congratulating Coach Jack and in lifting him up as he serves the college in this important role.
Congratulations to Brandon Hughes for a fine junior voice recital last Thursday evening.
The Lady Toppers had a big win on Saturday over Mid-Continent; the men fought a hard fight that ended in an overtime heart-breaker. Guys, we are very proud of you! You played with heart, determination, and Topper Tenacity!
Thanks to all of our students, faculty, and staff who pledged to pursue the BMC Kindness Challenge this semester. Today is MLK Service Day; opportunities abound to kick off your commitment to acts of kindness and service. Many thanks to Mrs. Jean Harrington and the SDO4 team for organizing today's activities.
Please pray for me as I will be traveling to Belhaven tomorrow for a meeting with MAICU presidents.
Topper Baseball is back- starting this weekend! The season kicks off Friday as the Toppers take on the Belhaven Blazers at Smith-Wills Stadium in Jackson. We hope to see many fans and alums there cheering on the team and enjoying the fellowship at the post game Bar-B-Q supper at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. Contact Paige Harrell (email@example.com) to make reservations.
Finally, please pray for the Executive Committee of our Board of Trustees. They will be meeting on campus on Friday.
Blessings to all for a rewarding day of service.

Fandango becomes the exclusive ticketing partner for Moviefone
- 1
Two of the biggest names in movies, Fandango and Moviefone, have joined forces to bring an easier ticket purchasing experience to AOL's Moviefone property.
The two heavyweights have been seen as the biggest competitors in the space, but it's clear that Fandango is surging ahead, with a network of more than 20,000 screens across the country.
Ever been to a tech festival?
TNW Conference won best European Event 2016 for our festival vibe. See what's in store for 2017.
The collaboration sees Fandango becoming the "exclusive ticketing partner" for Moviefone. Its users will now be able to purchase tickets online or from mobile devices using Fandango's network.
Here's what SVP and GM of AOL Marketplace had to say about the partnership:
Partnering with Fandango gives Moviefone users an upgraded experience by allowing them to buy tickets from twice as many theaters with more options. This move bolsters our already extensive web and mobile offerings, including our Moviefone iPad App, and enhances the overall Moviefone experience for our audience.
Without a doubt this means big money for both companies, but it's definitely a huge win for Fandango. In years past, studios were worried about sagging numbers at the box office and blamed piracy. Turns out it was just because the movies weren't so hot. Since the release of The Avengers, it's quite obvious that people are willing to pony up their hard-earned money to watch a flick.
While Moviefone's site is full of content and reviews about films, it's probably best known for its easy-to-remember number: 777-FILM.
Now that Fandango is powering Moviefone ticket sales, we might see a day where Fandango is the de facto ticket purchasing mechanism.

DynObj is a C/C++ library for cross compiler plugin libraries. It enables exposing and sharing run-time type information for C++ classes. This allows for loading binary plugins, and interacting with them in type safe ways:
- A program working with sound can install additional effect filters while running.
- A file manager can add plugins that handles new archive types.
- Or it can add file popup menu handlers, or toolbar commands from plugins.
- A text editor can add an editing mode (say Python editing) when the text editor is running.
- So, plugins can make a static application a lot more dynamic. And DynObj does this in a generic, type safe way.

ARLINGTON (AP) – Colby Lewis and the Texas Rangers trailed only one batter into the game against the Los Angeles Angels.
Things only got worse after that for the freefalling Rangers. Much worse.
Lewis allowed a club-record 13 runs without getting out of the third inning in a 15-6 loss Thursday night. The Rangers, who have lost five straight and 19 of 22, have the worst winning percentage in the majors at .413 with their 38-54 record.
Like manager Ron Washington was during a closed-door postgame meeting with the Rangers, Lewis is upset with the way things are going for the team that went to the World Series in 2010 and 2011.
"For every reason. We don't lose here and that's what's going on. We've got to make changes," Lewis said. "Like Wash said, it all happens in this locker room whether we want to make the change or not."
Washington refused to reveal specifically what he said, but did give some insight into what he expects from his players.
"That you don't stop fighting. You don't give into adversity. The game of baseball is full of it. You don't give in to it," he said. "The only people that can make a change and make a difference is my guys. `'
Kole Calhoun got the Angels off to a fast start when he had a leadoff triple and trotted home after an errant relay throw bounced into the seats. All-Star center fielder Mike Trout and the rest of the Angels quickly followed his lead.
"Oh yeah we were having fun," said Trout, the No. 2 hitter behind Calhoun who had a three-run homer among his four hits. "We always have fun, we know what this offense is capable of doing."
The first four Angels batters in the game had hits and scored. They added six more runs in the second and were already up 13-2 against Lewis (6-6) when Trout hit his 21st homer homered with one out in the third.
" I felt like it was one of those days. They hit it," Lewis said. "They found the gap and I got beat. Plain and simple."
Lewis allowed a career-worst 13 hits in his 130th major league start, while his ERA increased by more than a full run — from 5.51 to 6.54 — after 11 earned runs were changed against him.
Rangers rookie outfielder Jake Smolinski, who made his major league debut as a pinch-hitter Monday, had three hits, drove in three runs and scored twice. He has hits in all three of his starts and is the first Rangers player ever with eight hits in his first four games.
All-Star third baseman Adrian Beltre had three hits, including his 13th homer, to extend his AL-long 14-game hitting streak. He is hitting .500 (42 of 84) his last 22 home games.
Left-hander Hector Santiago (1-7) struck out eight in six innings as the Angels won for the seventh time in eight games.
Calhoun, who had four hits and scored four times, was only a homer shy of a cycle after hits in each of the first three innings. He admittedly "`100 percent" was trying to go deep his last two at-bats in a lopsided game, but grounded out and had another single.
"I was definitely pulling for it," Trout said. "It was fun to watch."
NOTES: The Angels had lost eight consecutive games at Texas. … RHP Matt West became the third player to make his major league debut this week for the Rangers. He had two scoreless innings in relief and was the 28th pitcher used this season by Texas, breaking a tie with the Angels for the most in the majors. C Chris Gimenez made it 29 when he pitched a 1-2-3 ninth. … Angels RHP Garrett Richards (10-2, 2.71), who finished second in the final five voting for the last spot on the AL All-Star team, starts Friday night against righty Nick Tepesch (3-4, 4.29).

Polenta Pound Cake with Elderflower Crème Anglaise
The dense pound cake is flavored with orange-flower water, a fragrant distillate made from bitter-orange blossoms.
- Servings: 8
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup polenta
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 sticks ( 3/4 pound) unsalted butter, softened
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup orange-flower water (see Note)
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- Elderflower Crème Anglaise, for serving
- Mixed fresh berries, for serving
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 325°. Butter and flour a 2-quart loaf pan (10 by 5 by 3 inches). In a bowl, sift together the flour, polenta and salt.
In a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle, beat the sugar and butter at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until each is incorporated. Add the orange-flower water and orange zest and beat until blended. Mix in the dry ingredients at low speed until thoroughly moistened, scraping the side and bottom of the bowl as necessary.
Spread the batter in the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the center of the oven for about 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the cake and serve it with the Elderflower Crème Anglaise and fresh berries.
Make Ahead
The cake can be wrapped in plastic and stored in an air-tight container for several days.
Orange-flower water is available at Middle Eastern groceries and specialty food shops.
Suggested Pairing
To complete a summer supper, return to something cold and sparkling. No wine is quite as refreshing with dessert as a Moscato d'Asti from Italy.

WHICH MEDICINE?Sep 13, 2003 IS THAT TRUE, A PERSON WHO INFECTED WITH HIV HAS TO TAKE THE MEDICINE FOREVER? HOW DOCTOR DECIDED WHICH MEDICINE OR VACCINE TO USE FOR EACH PATIENT?? |
Response from Dr. YoungIt's probably overstating things to state that you'll take medications forever-- I trust that there will be a time (if not already) when the degree of immune reconstitution will be such that we can stop medications (at least for a while). Indeed, some patients and doctors do elect to stop therapy when CD4 counts reach very high levels-- with close laboratory monitoring. How to pick medications? There are a variety of factors that go into this decision-- the dosing frequency, number of pills, types of potential side effects all play a role. Knowledge of the possibility of initial drug resistance clearly can be important in this decision. Lastly there aren't any approved (or proven) HIV therapeutic vaccines. Hope this helps, BY | ||||||||||

Want proof?
Here is a breakdown of my lighting and compositing process on our senior film by the working title of "Meats".
There are still a lot of elements still in the works, namely his hair, table full of meat, crowd, smoke/atmospherics, etc.
This is still a work in progress but it's turning out to be one good looking film!

Final Kitchen Renders!
I declare my little personal modeling/texturing/lighting/rendering project finished.
Friday, April 8, 2011
I realized that I needed to beef up my texture skills (as well as modeling skills) so I decided to finally work on a piece (pun intended) that I've been wanting to do for a while now.
Above is my progress so far. I've thrown on a generic metal shader so I can see how my modeling is affecting reflections and such. Also, pay no attention to the grip, it's just temp geometry to see how my proportions are turning out.
Even though I don't own or will own a gun anytime soon, I am fascinated by them. I think I am fascinated more with the science behind this impressive machine more than the thought of hunting.
Anyway, I am learning a lot about hard surface modeling with polygons and it's this- it requires a ton of planning before any actual modeling begins, and for that I salute you modelers.

Mas Colorscripts!
I'm still learning but the important thing is I had fun painting these up!
This is a small part of our senior film we're working on. Trying to depict a poorly lit room is tough!
As always, tips are always welcome!

The Marlborough features a wide range of artists and exhibitions with two locations. And with a mission to be a world-class advocate for all things art, including the artists, art projects, architecture, and urban and natural environments, there is something for everyone at this amazing gallery.
Often referred to as "one of the city's most highly respected small art museums," The Drawing Center has only drawings hung on its walls. Featuring historical drawings as well as newer, unknown artists, the SoHo gallery is rich in content and stimulating for the eyes.
Located in mid-Manhattan, the Jason McCoy Gallery features a wide array of art forms, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, photography and more. Not only do they display amazing artwork, they sell it as well. Specializing in the sale of 20th century art forms, the gallery prides itself on ethical business practices.
Started by American art dealer Robert Miller, the gallery with the same name is located near Chelsea Park in New York. Miller was inspired to open his own gallery in the late '70s based on favorite artists he represented.
With a wide range of locations that includes five New York galleries and galleries in London, Paris, Hong Kong, Beverly Hills and more, the Gagosian is an excellent place to visit. Featuring a wide range of exhibits and artists, the Gagosian also has a shop filled with various prints, publications and more.
Pace Gallery is another one with extraordinary locations, including New York, London, Beijing, Hong Kong and Menlo Park. It features well-known artists and breathtaking works of art. With impressive exhibitions and events, this is a top gallery to visit in the Big Apple.
An international gallery with a large footprint in New York, Hauser & Wirth is elegant and extremely striking. It features profound works of art — you are bound to be mesmerized by a visit to this gallery.
The Gladstone Gallery, which showcases notable artists and remarkable works of art, has two locations in New York and one in Belgium. Because it changes out exhibits often, it's a good bet that you'll see something you love during a visit to one of their amazing galleries.
Not only does the Neue Galerie display noteworthy works of art, the gallery is significant all on its own, with a museum, shops, exhibits and even a delicious cafe. Anybody would be silly not to add the Neue Galerie to their list of places to visit in NYC.
Art in General is unique in the fact that it doesn't display any of the famous artists of the past, but instead focuses on up-and-coming artists of the future. A nonprofit organization, Art in General features unique exhibits and hosts a national and international residency program, along with programs open to the public.

This camera caught me by surprise as many of the camera vendors now contact CineForm before they announce their HDV camera (even many non-HDV vendors discussion CineForm implementations.) However this is a very nice surprise, and we all expect Canon to have a high quality solution. As the XL-H1 is a 1080i HDV camera it will be closely compared with the Sony HVR-Z1; neither camera offers a progressive imaging sensor, yet both have a pseudo 24 frames implementation -- speculation on this is great as the Sony method under-whelmed the market, Canon may/should take a different approach (see my speculation below). The good news is this new camera should operate flawlessly with all CineForm products as it complies with existing HDV and HDSDI (bonus) standards.
The clear difference between this unit and other HDV cameras is the addition of HDSDI. We already have several customers using live HDSDI feeds into Prospect HD workstations for onset capture, bypassing the camera compression of HDCAM/DVCPRO-HD etc, so the same work-flow will apply for the Canon XL-H1. So just like the high end HD solutions, the HDSDI feed is pre-compression, the raw data from this HDV camera is the highest quality feed, perfect for Prospect HD's 10-bit CineForm Intermediate compression (the HDV tape acts as a backup only.) There has been speculation whether the HDSDI feed is 8-bit or 10-bit YUV 4:2:2. I believe it is more likely to be 10-bit, counter to a few opinions, as there is no technical reason not to output 10-bit. The RGB CCDs capture light in a linear manner with 12 to 14 bits of precision (depending on the sensor), after in camera processing the resulting RGB linear data is converted to YUV 4:2:2 in a 709 colorspace. The RGB precision is plenty to support a 10bit YUV gamma corrected output. The top 8-bits would then be sent on to the MPEG compressor (where it is further down sampled to 4:2:0.) If the processed linear RGB data is converted directly to 8-bit YUV, that would have been an error on the part of Canon engineering (so I don't think they would have done this), particular as HDSDI is inherently 10-bit (8-bit data is sent as 10bit with the two least significant pixels set to zero.) So as soon as cameras are available it is straight forward to determine the bit-depth of the HDSDI feed.
As we will get an uncompressed 1920x1080 out from HDSDI (higher than HDV's 1440x1080) the sensor resolution is significant. Canon has increased the resolution over the Sony Z1's three CCDs of 960x1080 (which use a horizontal pixel shift of the green sensor to increase the effective resolution to approach that of 1440.) Instead the XL H1 has gone with 3 16x9 CCDs of 1.67M pixels each, suggesting a sensor resolution of around 1720x970 (assuming square pixels.) I just read that the effective sensor area for HD is 15.6M pixels, which would indicate of non-square pixel sensor of 1440x1080 (which makes better sense.) If the lens allows, this should resolve a sharper (or detailed) image. The down size of so many picture elements on a 1/3" CCD, is a reduced light sensitivity. Sony the 960x1080 CCD, with their extra elongated pixels, have a larger area to collect light, and therefore potentially slightly more sensitive.
The most anticipated element of the XL H1 will be how it achieves 24 frame acquisition using a interlaced sensor. Canon has been up front with the 24 mode not being acquired in a true progressive sense, but in one statement it seems it will not have the motion jutter of Sony's CineFrame 24, which suggests the sensor may be run at 48Hz rather then 60Hz for the 24F mode. This will be an excellent first step. However if all data is interpolated from a top or bottom field, the vertical resolution can't exceed 540. I don't give much weight to an intelligent de-interlacing process, as that will potentially introduce motion artifacts as the good algorithms would take too long for the camera to compute. Canon could generate a good resolution pseudo progressive image if they ran the green CCD with reversed field dominance (output a bottom field when red and blue CCD output a top field) this way the same pixel shifting technology that makes Sony's 960 res CCD output near 1440, could help the three 540 fields (red-blue and pixel shifted green) could achieve a progressive vertical resolution approaching 810 (which is about the maximum a normal interlace picture can achieve any way.)
One last note on the 24F mode. The "Advance" 2:3:3:2 pull-down of 24p DV is unnecessary in HDV as there in no frame compression used in the 1440x1080 mode (spec HD2.) As only field compression is used, the standard 2:3:2:3 pull-down will work perfectly well. A true progressive frame signal can be exacted with ease.
P.S. 10/12/05 -- Now that we have a camera I have posted some real world data.

Learning about the Canon XL-H1
9 comments:
- Keith Breazeal said...
It will be interesting to actually get a hands on look at the H1. I wish the HD format could "shake-out" to one simple approach. It makes me dizzy trying to keep up with the variables.
- David said...
HD will not go the way of SD, which only had two formats (PAL and NTSC) with DV dominating. HD as a standard has multiple resolutions and mulitple frame rates, independent of the many different compression and media types. Expect the variety to grow. All of this benefits CineForm, as the compressed intermediate doesn't care about input and output format, resolution or frame rate. Companies struggling to provide native solutions to all the different HD sources are fighting a losing battle.
- -Spiff- said...
I must say David, that I think the Cineform codec is very well suited for acquisition. While it's not exactly a low-bitrate system compared to HDV, it's certainly quite efficient compared to DVCPRO-HD and other high end codecs.
I don't really see a lot of users who acquire natively into other high-bitrate codecs (DVCPRO-HD, HDCAM SR, whatever) being anxious to switch to Cineform... but if it was a 1st generation option, I can imagine a lot of people going for it - especially since it's not property of the camera manufacturers... I'm sure you guys would be happy to license the Cineform codec to every computer on the market!

I don't consider DVCPRO-HD to be a high end (really anything that must put "PRO" in their product name is never high end. :) .) HDCAM-SR now that is high end (by pricing and bit-rate 440+Mb/s.) We see real-time HD-SDI ingest from camera heads like the HD100U / XL H1 / F950 etc appealing to users wanting higher chroma detail (for keying work) and lower compression artifacts (avoiding HDV, DVCPRO-HD, and old HDCAM (non-SR)), while not having the workflow inconviences of uncompressed or costs on HDCAM-SR or D5. We have heard there is a new cover story coming (next month?) on a customer using CineForm Intermediate for on-set capture from CineAlta. It is this workflow we hope to make more common. More news to follow. - 1:53 PM
if you can get a small system that does not crash running as a capture "deck" it will sell..it's needed for all the cameras that have HD-SDI out with no compression, and needed badly.
David what is the lowest price HD camera out that you know has un-compressed out the side via SDI-HD?
would it now be the Canon? if the Canon has a good way to do 24fps that with a micro35 type gg would create the ultimate camera system - 6:11 AM
"Sony the 960x1080 CCD, with their extra elongated pixels, have a larger area to collect light, and therefore potentially slightly more sensitive."
Not necessarily. Differences in design, materials, and manufacturing processes -- among other things -- make this an apples-to-oranges comparison. - 11:53 AM

"Not necessarily. Differences in design, materials, and manufacturing processes -- among other things -- make this an apples-to-oranges comparison."
Obsolutely, that is why I said "potentially". Given identical manufacturing the Sony CCD would have the sensitivity edge and the Canon CCD the resolution edge. Without that information, all we know is Canon will have a resolution edge. - 12:28 PM

This is yet another good blend from Milan! Just smoked my first pipe full of this one and was not disappointed. Very mild and the kind of smoke that starts the day off on the right foot along with a good cup of strong coffee! This one would also be good in the middle of the day while sitting back against a tree in the middle of the woods contemplating all the joys of life and of course, with man's best friend by your side!

Buddy's blend is a decent smoke. I've been smoking aromatics for many years and have tried more blends than i can remember. This blend, for me, goes perfect with my morning coffee. Milan's description is right on.Toward the evening i go to a sweeter berry flavored blend. By the way, the people at Milan's are top notch to deal with. I hope my review helps someone looking for a good first smoke of the day. Also , just a note, if you love aromatic blends as i do ,it will take years, if not your life time to find that perfect blend. You'll come close, but that's part of the fun of being a pipe smoker. Thanks for reading my review.

Madhur Bhandarkar breaks down on meeting Asha
Sometimes when one comes face to face with one's idol, one doesn't know how to react. So it happened when Madhur Bhandarkar met Asha Parekh at an awards function where Madhur gave the veteran actress an award. Too timid and 'too much of a fan' to express his admiration and love, Madhur couldn't muster the courage to say what he had always wanted to tell his favourite actress. Until he could hold his admiration back no more.
Says Madhur, "I had saved it all up for years. I was and I am Ashaji's biggest fan. I loved every film of hers and would watch Love In Tokyo, Teesri Manzil, Jab Pyar Kissise Hota Hai, Kanyaadan, Kati Patang, Chirag and Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki over and over again. When I became an assistant at a video parlour, I made sure I was given the route where Ashaji lived. I told her the exact location and architecture of her bungalow. She has moved. But a part of me still lives in that bungalow."
Madhur remembers he would sneak up to her house and try to peep into her house when the maid would open the door to take the video cassettes. Recalls Madhur, "I never got a glimpse of my diva. When I came face to face with Ashaji at the awards function my knees trembled and my hands shook. I couldn't speak."
Ashaji smiles when told of her biggest fan's response to being in her presence. "Madhur is a very sweet boy. And a fine filmmaker. I love his movies. He makes such powerful films with women as central characters. He told me about how much I meant to him. I am surprised he still thinks well of me."
Madhur wants to cast his idol in a film. At the moment Ashaji is busy with the first anniversary of her hospital's re-opening on May 9. She plans to meet Madhur after that.

Missing Mum on Mother's Day
12 May 2013 , 12:11 PM by Annie Reuss
"The tidal wave of gift guides, TV commercials featuring loving gazes and warm cuddles between mum and daughter, and the plethora of magazine articles where celebrities share how much their mums mean to them. I hate it.
When your mother is no longer around, it's a time of the year that opens up a scar you try so hard to make disappear."
These words were written by blogger Andrea Zanetich who lost her mum when she was young.
Today Warren spoke to Andrea about how she went from hating Mother's Day to using it as a way to connect with the mum she misses so much.

Two 120V transformers in series for 240V ?
Is this a risk ?
My thought was that if one transformer sees much more current on the secondary ( in case of circuit failure), primary impedance will fall and the other transformer will see more than 120V and the circuit on the secondary will get overvoltage. |

More importantly, the insulation of the 120V traffos is probably not rated for 240V.

they should be identical, with secondaries in either series or parralel connection
otherwise, if they are loaded indepentdently, you can have problems.
you can connect a fuse say 2amps, between the primaries of the two transformers, if the fuse blows you got the phasing wrong, reverse one and try again, this time the fuse should not blow. if you can megger the primary coils with say 1kv test voltage, then you should be able to use them.

Re: Two 120V transformers in series for 240V ?
Depends how the outputs of the two transformers are loaded, as you noted. In an Onkyo Power amplifier with dual independent transformers (designed for 110V), we wanted to get the amplifier operational on 220V. The primaries were put in series whilst the secondaries (outputs) were put in parallel, producing a single transformer equivalent rated at 220V and secondary with 2x the current rating. The now 'single' output is used to drive the bridge rectifiers and filters of the two inpdendent amplifier channels. This probably dropped the channel separation of the Onkyo a tad, but what the heck... Oh, BTW isn't an autotransformer used in the same way, i.e. in the case of a step-down, the load is on 1/2 the single winding. So putting two transformers in series should be safe as long as the current loads do not go above (near?!) the specs of each... Cheers! |

just to remind you, autotransformers has both induction and conduction of current owing to that single winding from which primary and secondary taps are taken from. so some current is conducted and some induced. besides what the thread starter wanted to do was connect two 120 volt primiries as a single 240 volt winding, which imho can be done so long as the secondary windings are either in series or in parallel and not independent of one another. @peranders, i said 1kv becuase i thought 240volts ac summed up to 1kv in absolute dc terms. i was unaware of the 4kv requirement.

The amp is dual mono, got independent rectifiers and caps.
The question is if it may happen that one secondary gets overvoltage while the other has overcurrent. There are no rail fuses for the output stage. Only for the input stage and protection. So the primary fuse in front of the transformers has to blow. What could happen ? If one output device blows, the protection will switch off speakers, no problem. If both N & P output devices blow and make a short across the rail, it is the question if that primary fuse will blow fast enough, and also if it will blow at all because of the second series transformer. Same thing if a rectifier diode blows... I use a 320W stepdown transformer right now. Other question: The stepdown got two 120V primaries and two 120V secondaries. Can I use a single secondary 120V winding with 320W load or do I have to connect two in parallel ? |

Hi Bernhard,
you need to use all the windings to get the full VA rating of the step down transformer. Wire the two primaries in series and the two secondaries in parallel. My opinion on the series transformers; don't, for the reasons you and others have stated. The load on the secondaries MUST be equal for the series primaries to work. Your dual mono does NOT guarantee equal loading. Music guarantees that the loading will not be equal 99% of the time.

Fair PerilFrumpy, fortyish storyteller Buffy Murphy has already been unceremoniously dumped by a toad of an ex-husband. The last thing she needs is another needy male passing himself off as an enchanted prince. And since the talking frog she carries home from a Pennsylvania pond could be far more valuable to her in his froggy form, she blithely ignores his pleas for a spell-breaking kiss. Her beautiful teenage princess, Emily, however, is far more easily seduced - though Buffy has tried to warn her rebellious daughter where a simple kiss can lead. And right now, it is leading them both - and a hunky blond former amphibian named Prince Adamus - to the mall. For somewhere between the Gap and The Limited lies the magical realm of Fair Peril - where everything is itself yet something other, where wishes become punishments...and where only a dutiful mother's considerable power of storytelling can salvage a child's future and a daughter's love. |

Normal Breasts Gallery, part A
Women who have been pregnant
These pictures include women of Anglo-/Teutonic European, Semitic, N. Mediterranean, and N. East Asian, Native American, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and mixed descent who come from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds. The main point is: there is enormous variation in what is normal. Sizes and shapes vary enormously. So don't worry, ladies!
Disclaimer: Some stories below are very frank and may mention various kinds of events and difficulties in people's lives (e.g. anorexia). 007b.com does not necessarily endorse everything that is depicted in the stories/pictures.
"I am 37 and have one child whom I breastfeed for 7 months. I have hated everything
about my boobs - being small, to having one that is bigger than the other, to having
an inverted nipple, to having one that barely has tissue at the bottom of it
sometimes causing the nipple to point down. I have recently embarked on a journey to
love my entire body, including my breasts."
"I am a 19-year old mum with a 1-year old son. I only breast fed for under a week because I found it too difficult, but the changes in my breasts are quite shocking really, I used to have big areolas but now I have ones that cover the best part of my breasts. I was around a 34B before pregnancy and now over 2 years after I'm 36D. I was around 150lb before and now I'm around 180lb. I have been so insecure about my breasts since pregnancy that I've been researching breast reconstruction and I hate plastic surgery. Since looking at your site, it has made me feel so much better, women who haven't been pregnant have very similar breasts to me and that just reminds me that pregnancy hasn't ruined my breasts (although the street marks on my stomach are a sight) if anything they have made them better because there's more to see (and feel!) plus when I go out I wear bras with no padding now whereas before I had super padded ones with push-ups and everything! When I was finished developing I actually used to get my mother's breast jelly things that fit in the bra (my mother is a 34A) so it looked like I had a D. But now that I am I don't feel the need to make them bigger! So I am happy with my breasts, even if I don't like the look of them, my man does and I know that my baby had some good colostrum from them! Thank you for making this site!"
"I stumbled across your site, and thought I could contribute. It is very rare to see "natural" breasts and so I will submit mine and share the site with my sister!
I am 25, Caucasian and I am 10 months postpartum, I am breastfeeding right now and am in the process of weaning. I started puberty at 11, and in high school I had an eating disorder and lost weight very quickly causing stretch marks, I still have 25 pounds I would like to lose (the healthy way) I still have body image problems and probably always will, especially with a spouse that surrounds me with an overwhelming influx of fake bodies. I was self-conscious of my breasts before pregnancy and in high school and I especially am now but it is an inevitable part of life if you want kids. I really wish we saw the range of normal in the media and not just a sexualized ideal pushed on women from sex crazed men!" |
"I'm a 37-year old mother of two children (13 and 11) and I wear a 34b.
I nursed my first child for about 4 months and the second for 12 months (wearing 36d/e then).
Before I got pregnant, my breasts were a little tighter, but I'm quite happy with how they are today and I love being a woman from the bottom of my heart."
"Thank you so much for this site!... After I stopped nursing my son from a size 36 DD I went to a size B. I am a 35-year old mother of three. I have been pregnant 5 times. I have nursed all three of my children for over 1 year each. This picture -- my breasts are deflated 2 weeks after I stopped nursing. I am currently doing push-ups (5 sets of 10) and massaging with olive oil, ice as well as shea butter to tighten the skin so that it is not so saggy. I also have been doing exercises and wearing a fitted sports bra to keep the skin from stretching any further."
"I noticed there is a lack of saggy breasts on your site and thought I'd submit mine for you to add.
I now know my breasts being saggy aren't due to no bra. I have a BMI over 60. I'm going to be getting bariatric surgery."
"I am 22 years old. I got pregnant for the first time when I was 20,
gave birth to my son at 21, and he is now 10 months old. I have been
breastfeeding him since birth, and I plan to continue to do so as long
as he wants to (we practice child-led weaning). I am very
healthy. Before getting pregnant I was a 36B, during pregnancy I grew to be a 36C, and now I am a 36C-D,
depending on how full of milk my breasts are. My right breast is
slightly lower (and larger) than my left breast. I think it has always
been like that! My areolas and nipples are a lot larger now than they
were before breastfeeding/pregnancy, and they've also gotten a little
bit darker, too (or so my husband says!). I have some stretch marks on
the sides/tops of my breasts that I've had since I was a teen, but
they're less visible now. I'm really proud of my breasts, even though
they are a little bit droopy and lopsided... they're mine, God gave them
to me, and they feed my son."
This woman had very small breasts until pregnancy and nursing. She has breastfed two babies.
Mature droopy breasts. The large areola is due to the breast changes
during pregnancy.
The same woman as on the left - here after her second pregnancy, currently breastfeeding.
"I'm 20 years old, and I'm a 34G. I've been pregnant three times and I have
one child who I nursed for 18 months despite inverted nipples (which are
cured now).
I was extremely thin and a natural 34C/D before my first pregnancy, and swelled to a 40H at the time of delivery after a 100-lb pregnancy weight gain, which is what I can thank for the stretch marks and recent sagging. They've always been slightly asymmetrical, with the right areola and the entire right breast both being a slightly larger than the left, but that's the least of my complaints. The truth is, I love my breasts, and I can't say it any more eloquently than they do on Shape of a Mother -- "I hope that one day our society respects and honors the WHOLE female, not just the maiden one." The 'perfect', perky, maiden breast is useless for anything but lust. The stretched, drooping, well-used breast is the one that has served a meaningful purpose, perhaps even changed the life of the one(s) to whom it has given the perfect nourishment that only it can provide." |
"Stumbled across your site, and love it. I'm
a mother of two children, ages 5 and 9. I nursed each of them for 2.5
years. I'm now almost 32 years old and pretty happy with my 34DDD
breasts. I spent too many years hating them, and learned to like them
more when I saw what comfort they gave my babies. It's stupid that
breast size goes "in" and "out." That's like having race/ethnicity go
"in" and "out" of style. Totally uncontrollable....... and we're ALL
Although I will say, I still hate shopping for swimwear to fit them. Some things never change." |
A 42-year old woman. "I love my breasts! I have had two pregnancies. Breast feed both my kids. I never work out... AND... never wear a bra... hate those things."
This lady with small breasts had a high-risk pregnancy due to heart problems and had to stay in bed in the hospital most of the time. The baby was premature, but did just
fine - with the help of her milk.
Here we see a lady with nearly flat chest and small areola. She breastfed all three of her children with no problems.
These breasts of a woman in her 50s have assumed their lower position.
Back when she had kids, bottle-feeding was the norm and she didn't understand
breast being better. |
"I'm 36, two pregnancies which both ended within the first 2 months. Currently about 4 stones overweight and my bra is a 40C. Looking at these pictures emphasises how much I need to lose weight - I always had the most beautiful, pert breasts but now they're starting to get saggy and dangly looking, and it's because I'm fat."
"I am a 29 year old mother of 4 beautiful girls ...
Always been of normal weight (went back to my size quickly after each
pregnancy). I have breastfed 3 of my children for a total of 31 months. I
was a perky B cup pre-babies with small pinkish nipples. Now I am a 34A and
my nipples have stayed bigger and darker after my 3rd pregnancy (they had
gone back to their pink color after my first two babies but had remained
enlarged). I have lost a lot of upper poll fullness after breastfeeding 3
babies and it makes finding proper fitting bras a challenge.
I have struggled a lot and still am with the way my chest looks now. I have almost no breasts left and I feel self-conscious about them. But they are healthy and they are mine and that is what important. I am submitting my pictures because your site has helped me tremendously with my self-esteem issues and being the mom of four girls, I want to teach them what real women look like and not be embarrassed if they don't look like the airbrushed ads in the magazine. Thank you so much for such a wonderful site. " |
The same lady as on the left; this picture is at 18 months post-partum. "My nipples are lighter now than they were on that first picture. Some women worry when they see how dark their nipples got with pregnancy and breastfeeding. My picture shows that they don't stay as dark forever. Although they might not be the same light color they used to be pre-baby, they have lightened a lot in the past few months."
"I have found your site extremely beneficial. I am 32 years old at present I don't feel too bad about my breasts I am incredibly proud of myself for breastfeeding all of my children. I needed to express milk for my twins who where born very premature and I truly believe my milk helped them to survive. I then breastfed them for four months but it was difficult so I reluctantly stopped. I also breastfed my baby daughter for seven months.
My breast are flat and flop on top of each other when I lay on my side, they have lots of stretch marks and my nipples are huge!!!!!! Reading your site makes me feel that that is OK!!!" |
"Hi, I am a 40 yr old mother of 2, and breast fed them
both, also pumped at work.
The photo is after breastfeeding. I suffered from one
inverted nipple on the right breast. I had gained
some weight, but now an losing it slowly, and my
breasts are sagging."
"I'm 23, I've been pregnant once and am currently breastfeeding my (amazing, beautiful, healthy, happy!) 8 month-old son, with no plans to stop until he decides it's time. I've always been between 150 and 170, with little change in my 38DDD size. I don't have an eating disorder or anything; I've contemplated a breast reduction but I plan to have at least one more baby and nursing is so much more important to me than what my boobs look like! (Why risk the health of your precious baby to have "cute" breasts?? I don't get it.)
I'm completely happy & confident and at ease naked -- until I see my reflection or a picture, that is. I've spent lots of time naked around other people at Oregon Country Fair, various hot springs, Rainbow Gatherings, etc.) As long as I forget that my saggy (and useful, and life-giving, and amazing!) boobs are culturally "ugly", I'll have a great time. I love the quote, "Change how you see, not how you look," by J. Alison Hilber. It's so true. I would never judge another woman with my size & shape of breasts. I am usually in awe of women with something other than the ideal cultural body shape who walk around topless or naked. I feel proud to be in their presence and hope that I exude that same confidence." |
"I'm a 42 year old woman with 2 children of 6 and 4. I breast fed my kids for
2 and 3 years. I recently lost 30 pounds. That in combination with weening
my youngest caused some loss of volume at the top, but other than that, I
feel they are in great shape for my age and size. I'm a 32 DD, all natural."
"I am 29 yrs old with 3 kids. I would be proud to have them viewed on your wonderful site."
"I am 24 years old, with one child that I carried to full term and
nursed for 2 1/2 years. She still asks for boobie! I would say that I had
considerable stretching and stretch marks, as my breast went from 32 C to 34
DD. Now I am a 32 D. I could have nursed two children with all the milk I
had; it was awesome! It has been hard for me, as I am still young and feel
self-conscious about my breast shape. It seems sometimes that I have just a
little extra skin. But I wouldn't trade the experience; to give my daughter
the years she had of nutrition and comfort that nature intended was amazing.
Vive la breasts!
Thank you so much!" |
"I am 32 years old and have had three little girls now 6,4 and 2. I breastfed
each child for 18 months and now feel I have very "empty" breasts.
I was getting slightly paranoid that my breasts were looking awful as I
could only compare to pictures you see in newspapers etc.
Its nice to know I am normal."
"I am ... currently in a relationship with a man who simply loves my breast inspite of their being saggy and loosing and gaining weight. To him, its me that matters and not how they look like. I am 29 yrs heading for 30 yrs soon. I had 2 pregnancies upto 3 months each but could not last and no children there after.
Before visiting your site, I felt ashamed of my breast and I always wanted to get treatments done. I came here looking for advice and options but now I have dropped the idea. I hope my volunteering would help other women in similar situation. My mother who's now 50 yrs of age still has better ones than mine, she's still on the firmer side with perky nipples and ideal 36 size. I didn't know how to discuss my problem with her as I had flat nipples but now I understand I am happy with myself." |
"I'm a 19 year old girl, with 32AA size boobs and have always been depressed about their size but have never felt I could cope with breast enhancement. I often felt that the size of my boobs made me feel less like a woman despite men telling me it didn't matter. Looking at your site I have come to feel more comfortable with the way I look. I recently had an ectopic pregnancy (about 3 months ago), I was told my breasts did grow a little bit. I have always been skinny, and find it extremely hard to put on weight - not to mention finding clothes to fit me as I am quite short too."
Your website has been very interesting to me.
I am 24 years old and have never really thought that my breasts were that great. To me my areolas are too big and dark even before I was pregnant and my nipples stay too pokey all the time. They have never been very perky and even though they are small I have always thought they were too floppy except when I was pregnant. I also have to keep them plucked or else I have some long hairs around my areolas. I am 5' 4'' tall, weigh about 108 pounds normally and my measurements are 34B-24-34. My complexion is pale with a few freckles. My hair is reddish brown and I look very Irish. I have been pregnant once and breast fed for about eight months. |
"I am a 27 years. I have 3 children of which I've never breastfed. Since
having kids, I have gained over 55lbs (I'm 5'6" and weigh 190) so yes I am
very overweight.
I have large nipples although I don't seem to mind, being that my husband thinks it's a beautiful thing and he's the only one that sees them :)" |
"I am 38 years old, I am a 32b and I have breastfed 3 children each child
for 1 year each. I thought this would give them a good chance in life. At one point I rejected my breasts because they were not big enough and TV land said they weren't but last year with the help of my husband I am now proud of my wounderful breasts."
