Pelvic laparoscopy is surgery to examine pelvic organs using a viewing tool called a laparoscope. The surgery is also used to treat certain diseases of the pelvic organs.
While you are deep asleep and pain-free under general anesthesia, the doctor makes a half-inch surgical cut in the skin below the belly button. Carbon dioxide gas is pumped into the abdomen to help the doctor see the organs more easily.
The laparoscope, an instrument that looks like a small telescope with a light and a video camera, is inserted so the doctor can view the area.
Other instruments may be inserted through other small cuts in the lower abdomen. While watching a video monitor, the doctor is able to:
After the laparoscopy, the carbon dioxide gas is released, and the surgeon closes the cuts with stitches.
The average time of surgery depends on the procedure performed.
Celioscopy; Band-aid surgery; Pelviscopy; Gynecologic laparoscopy; Exploratory laparoscopy - gynecologic
Laparoscopy uses a smaller surgical cut than open surgery. This means you will likely have a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery. There is less blood loss with laparoscopic surgery and less pain after surgery.
Pelvic laparoscopy is used both for diagnosis and treatment. It may be recommended for:
A pelvic laparascopy may also be done to:
General anesthesia poses the risk of reactions to medications, including breathing problems. Risks for any pelvic surgery include:
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the days before surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You will spend some time in a recovery area as you wake up from the anesthesia.
Often, you will be able to go home the same day as the procedure. Sometimes, you may need to stay overnight.
The gas pumped into the abdomen may cause abdominal discomfort for 1 - 2 days after the procedure. Some people feel neck and shoulder pain for several days after a laparoscopy as the carbon dioxide gas irritates the diaphragm, a pain which is felt in the shoulder. As the gas is absorbed this pain will go away. Lying down can help decrease the pain.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for pain medicine or tell you what over-the-counter pain medicines you can take.
You may resume your normal activities in fewer than 2 days. Depending on what procedure is done, you can usually begin sexual activities again as soon as the bleeding (if there is any) has stopped. Ask your doctor what is recommended for the procedure you are having. Do not lift anything over 10 pounds for 3 weeks after surgery to decrease your risk of getting a hernia
in your incisions.

ADH is a test that measures the amount of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) in blood. ADH is a hormone that is produced in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is then stored and released from the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain.
ADH helps manage the amount of water in the body by acting on the kidneys.
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
Talk to your health care provider about your medications before the test. Many medications can affect ADH measurements, including:
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is performed if your health care provider suspects you have a disorder that affects your ADH level. ADH helps manage the amount of water in the body by acting on the kidneys.
Your health care provider may order ADH levels if you have:
Certain diseases affect the normal release of ADH. The blood level of ADH must be tested to determine the cause of the disease. ADH may be measured as part of a "water restriction test" to find the cause of a disease.
Normal values for ADH can range from 1 - 5 pg/mL
Note: pg/mL = picograms per milliliter
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or may test different specimens. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Higher-than-normal levels may occur when too much ADH is released, either from the brain where it is made, or from somewhere else in the body. This is called syndrome of inappropriate ADH (SIADH).
Causes of SIADH include:
Lower-than-normal levels may indicate:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Arginine vasopressin; Antidiuretic hormone; AVP; Vasopressin

2327 Mission St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411037.759743 -122.419190
Mon.-Thu. 5-11 p.m., Fri.-Sat. 5 p.m.-1 a.m.
Neighborhoods: Central East, Mission
Long wait, not tapas, kooks in turtlenecks with martinis – Seriously? I waited for this? Went for a friend's B-day on Friday, We had a reservation, we were told it'll be 30 min. IT TOOK 1.5 hours. Drinks were great though, blond bartender knew her stuff. We finally got sat next to the bar which was great 'cause people kept bumping into us and spilling on us. Did I mention the guy in the topcoat, scarf, and black turtle neck drinking his dirty martini with pinky extended. Are you serious guy? You're in the mission, drop the hipster crap. Food was mediocre, overpriced, and definitely not tapas as claimed (been to Spain plenty and Jamaican Jerk chicken is not tapas, neither are BBQ chicken Quesadilla). Menu was small. Have worked in restaurants/bars for over 15yrs, managed for 5 so I know a little bit. This place is a great bar if you can deal with noise and the occasional brad/kook/ pretentious hipster, but as far as food goes...don't bother.
Worst dining experience EVER – I have never been treated worse at any eating establishment in my life, including McDonalds. We had a party of 14 under my name and checked in with the host twice before our actual reservation to let him know we were in the bar. He was clearly strung out and didn't seem to have any clue what he was doing. When we saw a large party get seated, we checked on our table and he stated "There are two parties of Marisa for 14?" with a dumbfounded look on his face. The host attempted to then seat us at two small tables and 8 chairs for 14 people, then another that only sat 10. When numerous attempts to speak to a manager (or anyone in charge that would help us) failed, we took an empty table nearby. The manager proceeded to YELL in my face that we were hustling them (because we asked for some free sangria to make up for everything), then said we could either keep the table we took or one pitcher of sangria (for 14 people). At that point, we didn't want to give them our money so we left and went to a Taqueria down the street. Never once did I raise my voice, yet I was attacked by the manager. Between the strung out host and the rudely inappropriate manager, I will never eat at this establishment ever again and urge prospective diners to STAY AWAY!
Wanna get pushed out during good convo and drinks with your friends? Then go here.... – DONT GO HERE. I will NEVER go here again with my friends or family. We were pushed out!!!
We were happily enjoying our drinks until we noticed one of workers passing by an awful lot. Eyeballing all our drinks to see if we were almost done. He was so obvious about it we couldnt believe it. Our waitress didnt come by to ask if we wanted anything else i guess that was a good thing considering she was rude and dry as can be. Before we could finish one of our pitchers he helped himself to pouring our glasses into the pitcher. I would think think a bill of $100+ deserved better service. Plenty of other Mission jewels.
The Sangria sneaks up on you! – My friend and I went on a limb to try it out on a friday night (I've heard some say its almost impossible to get a table in an hour or even longer) We went in and the hostess told us tables were reserved for parties of 3 or more and to try our luck to find spots at the bar. The bar is HUGE! and we went around the bar looking for open spots. Almost coming around full circle, we got lucky enough to grab seats. As soon as we sat down, the bartender gave us menus and got us a pitcher of sangria (which was pretty tasty with the fresh fruits marinated in it) We ordered ceviche (very flavorful, esp. with lime), calamari (my favorite! the breading was seasoned and the butter-like dipping sauce is really rich! something to watch out for if ur on a diet, but definitely a must try) and the pork quesadillas (they were very tender and one is enough for two!) For a busy friday night, the the bartender and busboys were pretty attentive. The only downside was that the bartender thought we ordered 2 quesadillas instead of 1, so we had to pay for the extra and take it home, it was good though, so we didn't mind.
Wanna wait a long time for good food? – Went to ChaChaCha in the mission last night based on on-line recommendations. Having only had a cookie all day, was ready for tapas. Our party of 5 was the second group in the door at 5 pm. We ordered 5 tapas item and one hamburger. At 5:45, (after being promptly served a pitcher of mediocre sangria), we questioned our unattentive waitress on the missing food. Her response was that she was holding our appetizer order because she wanted it to come out the same time as the burger. Why didn't she ask if she should do this? Does it take 45 minutes to cook a hamburger? About 5 minutes later, all of our dishes arrived one after the other. Despite the wait, we would highly recommend the calamari, cajun shrimp, and warm spinach salad. The mussels were just okay, and the dreaded hamburger was awful. Would we go again? Maybe to order just appetizers and this time we'll let our waitperson know whether we're hungry or want to sit and chat for 45 minutes!
Great casual spot – This is our "go to" restaurant for quick weeknight dinners. A few tapas and a small pitcher of sangria is filling, relatively inexpensive, and surprisingly more flavorful than Cha Cha Cha on Haight st. Faves include the pork quesadilla, the calamari, the ceviche, the mussels, and of course, the shrimp (save the bread until the shrimp comes - the sauce is outstanding). It's not a great place to have a deep, personal conversation, but it's fun.
Not so good – The place is always filled with a young lively crowd, but the food isn't great, and the service is worse.
Fun place for drinks and tapas – Great place for drinks and tapas. The food is good, small portions, great for sharing. Very crowded and loud on weekends. Great place for small groups.
Tasty Carribbean Food – Can't go wrong with any of the dishes at Cha Cha Cha's. I absolutely love their plantanos maduros and spanish rice and black beans. Portions are huge and prices are reasonable. Their sangria is the best, comparable to ones I've had in Spain. I like the Mission location over the one on Haight because its less touristy, you don't have to wait in long lines and easier to find parking. Also the hours are different, in Haight, it is open for both lunch and dinner, while the Mission restaurant is only open for dinner.
Best place to go eat before going out. – Cha cha cha's is a great first date place or dinner before hittin' up the bar or the club. The food is flavorful and great for sharing with friends. Its casual and always gets you ready for a good time.

According to the National Weather Service, a cold front is expected to hit the area tonight after 9 p.m. Temperatures are not expected to rise out of the 20s until Wednesday afternoon.
The weather service has issued several warnings and advisories in connection with the coming cold, including a hard-freeze warning, winter weather advisory and wind chill advisory.
Jessica Chase, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Calera, said this afternoon that the overall forecast has not changed much since Saturday, when forecasters said that the area should expect a low of 6 degrees on Tuesday and that wind chills are expected to be below zero on both Monday and Tuesday.
"There will be a chance of rain and freezing rain, and after 9 p.m. is when the temperatures will transition to below freezing," Chase said.
Chase said today that there is a possibility of snow after midnight, which could lead to some light accumulation for the area.
Anniston could receive up to a quarter-inch of snow, while neighboring Etowah and Cleburne counties could receive up to half an inch, Chase said Saturday.
Burst pipes and heating plights
Ted Whitten, the owner of Ted's Plumbing in Anniston, said Sunday afternoon that he hasn't had any calls to fix broken pipes yet, but expects some soon.
"Over the next few days people's pipes will be freezing and then they'll be calling us when they thaw and realize they're busted," he said.
Whitten said the last time the area experienced a cold spell as bad as the one predicted to hit tonight, he had five crews working full-time to repair around 60 to 70 burst pipes. That was around 10 to 15 years ago, he said.
Whitten offered a few precautions people can take to keep their pipes from freezing. He said anything exposed should be wrapped and insulated and hoses should be disconnected.
Whitten also suggested that people leave the heat on in their homes and leave a trickle of water from faucets. A continuous flow of water will be harder to freeze than still water, he said.
How to prepare
Jonathan W. Gaddy, director of the Calhoun County Emergency Management Agency, said there are four things Calhoun County residents should be concerned with during the upcoming cold spell: plants, pipes, people and pets.
Gaddy said today that his agency does not expect any power outages and hopes the weather will have no impact on transportation.
Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson said patrol deputies will be on the lookout for stranded motorists. Amerson also said people should plan ahead for power outages.
Anniston assistant Fire Chief Joel Roberts and Gaddy both offered suggestions for those worried about heating their homes.
Roberts said when the weather gets cold people have a tendency to plug too many things into electrical outlets, put space heaters too close to bedding and use their ovens for heat.
"Anytime it gets cold people get careless sometimes," Roberts said.
People who have a hard time heating their homes should concentrate on heating one area and use power outlets in areas that can be monitored, Gaddy said. Those who cannot find appropriate heating methods should go to heating stations like the one at the Salvation Army on Noble Street, Roberts said.
Capt. Bert Lind of the Salvation Army told The Star on Friday that anyone who needs a place to wait out the cold is welcome at the shelter. Lind said that coffee, snacks and a television will be provided and the group will also offer overnight stays, free of charge.
Weather-related delays
Calhoun County Circuit Clerk Eli Henderson said on Sunday that county and courthouse offices would delay opening until 10 a.m. Monday and Tuesday. He said residents expected for jury duty at the courthouse Monday need not show up until 10 a.m.
Several area schools announced last week that they will delay the start of classes this week to avoid problems with early-morning cold. Gadsden State Community College announced that it would delay opening by two hours on Monday and Tuesday, and Faith Christian School announced it would delay classes by two hours on Monday.
Other schools planning two-hour delays Monday through Wednesday include Anniston, Calhoun County, Cleburne County, Jacksonville, Oxford and Piedmont public schools, the Donoho School and Sacred Heart Catholic School in Anniston.

A long stretch of Florida freeway was all Cairo Santos needed to let it all sink in.
He's the nation's top collegiate kicker. He's got the hardware, phone calls and disbelief to prove it.
"I sort of spaced out when I was driving and started to let it sink in," Santos said. "I had just talked to my long snapper a little while ago and he asked me, 'Do you realize what you just did?' I still don't really believe all of it, how I came so far from a small high school and how this year has been crazy."
St. Joseph Academy football coach Brandon James made no excuses Friday night after St. Francis came out on top 37-12 to spoil the Flashes "Senior Night."
To the contrary, James and his St. Joe squad (2-7) had to bounce back from a loss Monday night in Jacksonville against Class 2A power University Christian.
The first-year Flashes coach was emphatic that the short week had nothing to do with the outcome against St. Francis (3-6).
"They had a great game plan, came out and executed and we didn't," he said.
St. Francis at St. Joseph, 7 p.m.
Radio: 91.9 FM
Records: St. Francis (2-7, 0-3 in District 2-3A); St. Joseph (2-6, 1-2)
Last week: Eagle's View d. St. Francis 53-13; University Christian d. St. Joseph 56-18
Players to watch: St. Francis, RB Christian Wallace, sr. (157 rushing yards last week); QB Tommy Ferry, sr.; WR Steve Bunde, sr.; St. Joseph, Brendan Baird, fr.; RB Zach Snyder, jr.; QB Thompson Hinman, so.
JACKSONVILLE — Pushing across touchdowns on seven of its eight first-half possessions, host University Christian overwhelmed an undermanned St. Joseph Academy team Monday night, posting a 56-18 win, and in the process, staking claim to the school's first district championship since 1994.
University Christian (7-1, 3-0 in District 2-2A) has made it to the state playoffs six of the last 10 years, but always as a district runner-up.
St. Joseph at University Christian, Friday, 7 p.m.
Records: St. Joseph (2-5, 1-1 in District 2-2A); University Christian (6-1, 2-0)
Last week: St. Joseph d. Oak Hall 27-21; University Christian d. Eagle's View 48-8
There was plenty of reasons to smile at Versaggi Field Friday, and not just because it was Homecoming for St. Joseph Academy. The Flashes (2-5) rallied late to score an impressive 27-21 district 2-2A victory over Oak Hall (3-4).
In a fourth quarter filled with offensive fireworks, it appeared Oak Hall was here to spoil St. Joe's party when quarterback Danny Stirt went 76 yards for a touchdown on a simple keeper, and Josh Noble added a 2-point conversion to give the Eagles a 14-13 edge with 11:43 left in the game.
Oak Hall at St. Joseph, 7 p.m.
Records: Oak Hall (3-3), St. Joseph (1-5)
Last week: Oak Hall d. Munroe 21-12; Maclay d. St. Joseph 69-12
Players to watch: Oak Hall, QB Danny Stirt, sr. (5 rushing TDs, 3 passing TDs); WR Brad Pita, jr. (2 receiving TDs); RB/DL Nathan Koons, sr. (52 tackles); TE/LB Josh Noble, sr. (4.5 sacks); St. Joseph, Thompson Hinman, so. (2 TDs against Maclay); Zach Snyder, fr.
TALLAHASSEE — A running clock couldn't run out fast enough on St. Joseph Academy on Friday night.
A 69-12 win by Tallahassee Maclay (4-2) is a contest the Flashes (1-5) will have to forget quickly as they gear up for their homecoming next week against Oak Hall.
St. Joseph at Maclay, 7 p.m.
Records: St. Joseph (1-4); Tallahassee Maclay (3-2)
Last week: Eagle's View d. St. Joseph, 46-8; Maclay d. Rocky Bayou Christian, 58-0
Players to watch: St. Joseph, RB Zach Snyder, fr. (351 yards, TD); WR/RB Bradley Senderling, sr. (2 TDs); QB Thompson Hinman, so. (4 TDs)
St. Joseph (1-4) got to see the depth of Eagle's View (3-3) up close Friday night in a lopsided 46-8 District 2-2A loss to the Warriors.
Eagle's View rushed for 263 yards as a team, getting touchdown runs from four different tailbacks. When they weren't running, quarterback Rhett Criswell was finding open receivers that gained yards after almost every catch.
Headlining the big district win for Eagle's View was Andre Winfield, scoring on runs of 8 and 69 yards and catching a 38-yard touchdown pass from Criswell in the second half when the game was already on ice.
Records: Eagle's View (2-3, 1-0 in 2-2A); St. Joe (1-3, 0-0)
Last week: Nease d. Eagle's View 44-6; St. Joseph was off
Players to watch: Eagle's View, QB Cortney Jones, sr. (6 total TDs); RB Joe Lewis, sr. (100 rushing yards last week); WR Willie Smith, sr. (253 receiving yards); St. Joseph, RB Zach Snyder, fr. (198 rushing yards against SJCD); WR/RB Bradley Senderling, sr. (130 receiving yards against SJCD); QB Thompson Hinman, so. (2 passing TDs against SJCD).

As mobile devices and Web 2.0 applications proliferate, it becomes harder to secure corporate perimeters. A key component of Cisco Secure Borderless Network architecture, the Cisco® Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module (AIP SSM) with Global Correlation and the Cisco Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Card (AIP SSC) for the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliance provide proactive, full-featured intrusion prevention services to stop malicious traffic before it can affect your network. Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) with Global Correlation increases the efficacy of traditional IPS. With updates every 5 minutes, Cisco IPS with Global Correlation provides fast and accurate threat protection with real-time global intelligence from Cisco IPS, firewall, email, and web appliances.
Cisco AIP SSM Intrusion Prevention Services
• Wide-ranging IPS capabilities: The Cisco AIP SSM delivers all the IPS capabilities available on Cisco IPS 4200 Series Sensors. The Cisco AIP SSM can be deployed inline in the traffic path or in promiscuous mode, whereby a copy of the traffic is sent to the Cisco AIP SSM for inspection.
• Global Correlation: The Cisco AIP SSM provides real-time updates on the global threat environment beyond your perimeter by adding reputation analysis, reducing the window of threat exposure, and providing continuous feedback. With these new capabilities, the Cisco AIP SSM can detect more threats, detect them earlier and more accurately, and protect critical assets from malicious attacks. Global Correlation is available only on the AIP SSM.
• Comprehensive and timely attack protection: The Cisco AIP SSM and AIP SSC deliver protection against tens of thousands of known exploits and millions more potential unknown exploit variants using specialized IPS detection engines and thousands of signatures. Cisco Services for IPS provides signature updates through a global intelligence team working 24 hours a day to help ensure that you are protected against the latest threats.
• Day-zero attack protection: The Cisco AIP SSM provides powerful protection against day-zero attacks.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Tux Turkel firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
The six New England governors have set in motion a first-of-its-kind plan to increase the region's natural-gas pipeline capacity by nearly 20 percent in three years and build at least one major electric transmission line to bring renewable energy from Canada.
Utility customers would be asked to help pay for the projects, which together could cost billions of dollars, through electricity rates. But the costs soon would be recovered by savings on energy bills as the projects increase supplies of lower-cost power, said Tom Welch, chairman of the Maine Public Utilities Commission and an architect of the plan.
The plan, made public Thursday, requests that the operator of the region's electricity grid, ISO-New England, seek permission from federal regulators to charge electricity customers for gas pipeline expansion.
"It's an unprecedented and remarkable approach," Welch said. "But it reflects the fact that the price of natural gas drives the price of electricity in New England."
Natural gas now fuels more than half of all power-generating plants. A shortage of gas in the region on very cold days last year sent wholesale electricity prices up 57 percent over the 2012 average.
The plan announced Thursday represents a compromise among diverse political interests, but it won't satisfy everyone.
Maine manufacturers that use a lot of energy say it wouldn't bring enough gas into the region to erase the wide price difference between New England and other regions. Environmental activists who support a greater shift to wind, hydro and solar energy say it would make New England even more reliant on natural gas.
The request to ISO-New England was sent by the New England States Committee on Electricity, an obscure but influential organization that represents the states in regional matters regarding electricity. Welch represents Maine on behalf of Gov. Paul LePage.
The request follows a letter of commitment signed last month by the six New England governors, in which they pledged to cooperate on energy infrastructure issues. The governors acknowledge that the region's electric and natural gas systems have become increasingly interdependent and that further investments in both are needed to reduce energy costs and attract business.
Not articulated in the letter, but underlying the greater political cooperation, is a geographic frustration. To the north, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador hold vast hydroelectric resources. To the south lie economical deposits of shale gas.
"We are so close to two world-class resources, but unfortunately, New England ratepayers aren't benefiting from that position," said Patrick Woodcock, LePage's energy director.
Through the new plan, the governors will seek proposals for transmission lines to carry 1,200 to 3,600 megawatts of electricity from "no and/or low carbon emission resources." For practical purposes, that means as many as three separate lines hooked up to hydro or wind power plants capable of electrifying hundreds of thousands of homes.
No specific route is mentioned, and no date is set. Various transmission projects already have been proposed in the region, but none has gained traction. A 1,200-megawatt line connecting Hydro Quebec to utilities in southern New England, called Northern Pass, is stalled by opposition over the route through New Hampshire's White Mountains.
Maine has an energy-corridor law that would place any new interstate transmission lines underground, along highways. One proposal, the Northeast Energy Link, would run along Interstate 95 and the Maine Turnpike.
The process set by the governors now could allow states to assess the projects together and determine how costs might be shared among ratepayers.
The governors also want ratepayers to fund the cost of new gas pipeline capacity, with gas delivered at prices that are on par with a low, national benchmark. Wholesale gas prices in New England now are about five times as much as those in some southern states.

April 2012 saw the launch of the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) http://www.doabooks.org/doab.
DOAB is built along the same lines as the established and widely used Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), It aims to improve the visibility, discoverability, and impact of OA books. DOAB is a discovery service for peer-reviewed books that have been published under an OA license. DOAB is not only building a directory of OA books that libraries can integrate into their catalogues, but also a directory of OA-friendly publishers. Publishers who are interested in cooperating with DOAB can obtain information here.
DOAB is provided by the OAPEN (Open Access Publishing in European Networks) Foundation, who developed it in close cooperation with SemperTool, who was also responsible for developing and hosting DOAJ. The OAPEN Foundation, which is based at the National Library in the Hague, also hosts the OAPEN Library.

200 E Bland St, Charlotte, NC | Directions 2820335.216296 -80.854934
Neighborhoods: Dilworth
whatever – I went there on a Friday night. First thing that struck me was that I couldnt really find the place on Bland Street and I drove around the whole block and realized it was adjacent to Greek Isles but I couldn't park there, so I drove back unto Tryon and went another street down where I found their parking, only to find that I had to walk all the way down back to where Greek Isles was since the only entrance on Jillian's was on that side - that whole thing was a bit odd.
As I walked inside I was greeted with a $5 cover charge. Didn't have cash on me so I swiped my credit card. Then I went to the bar to wait for my friend to arrive. I waited at least 10 minutes before the bartender approached me to take my order, but she was nice about taking my order. Meanwhile I tried to see what basketball game was on and realized that all the TV screens behind the bar were blurry and faded and were probably bought in the late 90s. You know, they are large projection screens which lose brightness through the years. When she brought me the beer said that will be $4.50 as she awaited payment, which I found rather strange as I am used to the bartenders asking me whether I want to start a tab when they bring my first beer, anyways, I swiped my card again. Then my friend arrived and we went to play pool. There were plenty pool tables, they were slightly worn and the one we were on was too close to the wall and chairs making most shots on that side difficult (not something you usually encounter at a place with plenty pool tables but rather in small bars). Most of the cue sticks were either chipped or warped. The place was very empty. Our waitress then took care of our drink order and appetizer. The food was just OK. The bathrooms were very dirty and two toilets were broken, one wrapped in a black garbage bag and the other was just gushing all over the place. Then the DJ started blasting some music in the empty hall. As I looked around I saw more smaller, old TVs all over, all blurry. When we were done, I closed my tab with my waitress, swiped my card, then proceeded to return the poolballs and have my card swiped again to pay for that. After 5 card swipes, including cover charges for two, 4 beers, 1 appetizer and a pool table for 3 hours + tips I spent around $80. This place looks like an old abandoned locale, there is no interest in ownership to renovate or replace anything as evidenced by the outdated TVs and even cue sticks. I did not bother to visit any other area or play any other games, but the place looked very empty. I am pretty sure this place won't be around that much longer. Do not plan on going back.
Never again... – What a waste - took the family here on Valentine's day to play some games and have some fun - half the games were broken...At least they were turned off so you didn't waste your time trying to play. However, several were just malfunctioning and we had to get points put back on our card due to that...Even the nascar racing game - 2 of the cars weren't working...I waited forever at the bar to get sodas - at $2.50 each - mostly everything was ice. The people weren't very friendly and the bathrooms were poorly stocked. I will never waste my money again! We had a hard time using up all of our credits - as there was nothing to play...
My wife and kids went to jillians as we usually go to Dave and Busters, wow is all I can say, great service and food, even though the games were older the good old games of skee ball as well as basketball were still there, Great time by the whole family,
Ugghh! – While visiting the city of Charlotte my date and I went to Jillians to watch a fight the T.V.'s were so small we had to crowd around the bar to squint and see there was a 10 dollar cover my drink was weak the food was bland. The bar policy was to pay IMMEDIATELY after he put the drink down in front of you and he waited so if you ordered multiple drinks you had to keep swiping your card. NEVER AGAIN !
Cover charge for poor service and food – It had been over 10 years since I went to Jillian;s My husband and I were looking forward to a good time.
We were met at the entrance by the host that told us it was a $3 cover charge. We paid and were told to find
a seat any where you can. It was crowded. We finally found a table that was dirty and waited for
it to be cleaned . The server was slow and apologetic. No silver ware, no water, no playing cards we paid for...
it was terrible!!It used to be a great date place but now it is a rip off and an insult to patrons...or maybe it is the patrons they are trying to
get rid of because they were about 75 to 85% black on that Sat. night. This is one black souple that won't be back.
Terrible Food, Bad Service, Poor Game Selection – I wasn't expecting the food at Jillian's to be outstanding and it is just mediocre at best, but the service was poor and they have very few games. I thought it would be comparable to the Dave & Buster's in Concord Mills which used to be Jillian's, but there are far fewer games here and it seems they haven't updated their games in some time. There is no prize redemption here either (games with tickets). Everything is really overpriced--it costs almost $2 to play air hockey. Service at the bar was okay but after a malfunction with a game card, another staff member was rude to us with the manager standing right there and he said nothing. I don't think they care very much about their customers here. I would definitely not go back.
Terrible service, food and attitude! – And overall poor excuse for service and food.
The atmosphere is OK, but the service was terrible!
Terrible Service and Food – We had terrible service, terrible food and an all around terrible time at this restaurant. Skip it!
Big-screen TVs, video games and a hibachi grill: It's a playground for grownups. – The Scene
Two walls of big-screen televisions show as many games as two eyeballs can possibly watch. Overstuffed leather chairs and sofas allow spectators to concentrate on the game in comfort. The menu is a step up from the usual sports-bar standard. Across a little hallway, you can catch a culinary show at one of the Japanese-grill-style tables, where the cook slices, dices and juliennes your dinner while you applaud wildly. That hallway opens up into another room with about a dozen quality, full-size pool tables, pingpong tables and more televisions.
The Draw
If you get tired of the game, turn your attention to the video screen. The cavernous game room houses everything from virtual-reality skiing and whitewater rafting to electronic golf, football and shoot-'em-up games. If you enjoyed Chuck E. Cheese as a child, you'll love this action.
Hibachi and Football – We all go to Jillian's for Sat. & Sun. football but the Hibachi grill is out of this world! It's unlike any other Japanese Rest. It's got silly hats pumping music and club lights. The Chefs are hilarious and you are forced to have a ball. Also on Sundays they have "the best seat in the house" that you can win for your group of fans...3 leather couches and a big screen..it's like home with your own personal server!!!!

Celebrating research success
Friday, 02 December 2011
The top 20 research performers, with Vice-Chancellor Professor Kerry Cox and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Advancement) Professor John Finlay-Jones.
A researcher who developed an iPad app to replace traditional paper-based marking of student work has been named the ECU Innovator of the Year for 2011.
School of Education Post Doctoral Research Fellow Dr Alistair Campbell was awarded $20,000 for his entry TouchTheFuture, which brings the assessment of student work into the 21st Century with computer assisted reporting.
He received the award at the Celebration of Research Success event at ECU, which each year recognises the University's best researchers.
Dr Campbell's unique app combines the best features of a word processor, spreadsheet and database enabling the user to assess a student's work. With a simple tap of the screen generic comments can be made. More expansive comments are made via the virtual keyboard.
The app applies an instructional rubric to the screen and shades-in the level of each criteria achieved by the student. At the same time it calculates a mark (the mid-point of the corresponding grade) and adds this to the total mark.
The $20,000 will aid Dr Campbell in the commercialisation of the app.
ECU Vice-Chancellor Professor Kerry Cox and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Advancement) Professor John Finlay-Jones paid tribute to ECU's researchers and awarded certificates in a number of categories, including:

- a:active - a link the moment it is clicked
a:visited {color:#00FF00;} /* visited link */
a:hover {color:#FF00FF;} /* mouse over link */
a:active {color:#0000FF;} /* selected link */

When setting the style for several link states, there are some order rules:
- a:hover MUST come after a:link and a:visited
- a:active MUST come after a:hover
Common Link Styles
In the example above the link changes color depending on what state it is in.
Lets go through some of the other common ways to style links:
Text Decoration
The text-decoration property is mostly used to remove underlines from links:
a:visited {text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {text-decoration:underline;}
a:active {text-decoration:underline;}
Try it yourself »
Background Color
The background-color property specifies the background color for links:
a:visited {background-color:#FFFF85;}
a:hover {background-color:#FF704D;}
a:active {background-color:#FF704D;}

In a study recently published in Infancy: The Official Journal of the International Society on Infant Studies, psychology researchers Sabrina Chiarella and Diane Poulin-Dubois demonstrate that infants can detect whether a person's emotions are justifiable given a particular context. They prove that babiesunderstand how the meaning of an experience is directly linked to the expressions that follow.
The implications are significant, especially for caregivers. "Our research shows that babies cannot be fooled into believing something that causes pain results in pleasure. Adults often try to shield infants from distress by putting on a happy face following a negative experience. But babies know the truth: as early as 18 months, they can implicitly understand whichemotions go with which events," says psychology professor Poulin-Dubois.
To perform the research, she and PhD candidate Sabrina Chiarella recruited 92 infants at the 15 and 18-month mark. In a lab setting, the babies watched as an actor went through several scenarios in which emotional reactions went with or against pantomimed experiences. In one scenario, the researcher showed a mismatched emotion by being sad when presented with a desired toy. In another, she expressed an emotion that went with the experience by reacting in pain when pretending to hurt her finger.

This is the first installment of a five-part series for post-secondary institutions that want to integrate their social media across departments and expand their reach. To learn more, download the HootSuite white paper, The Social Campus: How Social Media is Transforming Higher Education.
Social media pervades the modern college and university campus. In fact, its reach extends beyond the school's boundaries, pulling admissions candidates into the university community and keeping alumni engaged long after graduation. With social media becoming ubiquitous in higher education, institutions must implement a campus-wide strategy that covers the whole student experience.Read more

Great fingerboard. The wood was straight and well-radiused, but could you start quarter-sawing them? Thanks!
The quality of the wood is first rate. Mind you, they aren't cheap like what you may find online cause these are the real deal. The slots are perfect and they are really simple. Much cheaper than milling, sanding radius and slotting one by hand. The only drawback is that they don't come in figured maple or any other exotic wood but the three species offered cover most of the basics.
2 pieces parfaites et livraison rapide 15 jours merci
I started out using these. Wonderful product. I progressed to cutting my own, since I can use more exotic woods than offered here. But I am seriously considering using these again whenever I'm using rosewood, ebony or maple. Saves a lot of time and makes a ton of sense.
I purchase 3 of the maple, because I was having planer issues. They looked great and the scale was accurate, but one of them had a nice chunk missing not to far from the nut slot. The only thing that saved me from returning it was that the board is oversized and that chunk was cut off anyway. Other than that no complaints.
Ordered four or so, always very nice wood, no problems.
Very precise slots. Only complaint is that there was considerable chatter of the cutter when the radius was cut. Required a lot of sanding to get smooth.
I use these for one off guitars. I've used a few to create a 24 inch scale putting a zero fret in the first fret slot and sawing off the remainder. These always seem to seat the fret very well and are very level. I've never had any buzz anywhere on the neck. I'll keep using them and would highly recommend them.
I ordered the Rosewood fingerboard for my first project. It is a beautiful piece of wood, and the slots are perfect. There is a bit of planer chip-out behind the second fret, and it may or may not sand out; if I were building a 2,000-3,000 dollar guitar, it would be an issue, but I'm not, and it won't affect the sound or playability so I don't mind. Not perfect, but probably an outlier
Radius work required but very good quality fingerboard

"LOOM" Short Film From Luke and Ridley Scott

Memory cards, they're robots in disguise! At least, they are in this video which shows a micro SD card that doesn't just store endless photos of your cat, but instead it's a tiny robot that can run, fly, swim, battle magnets and bust through walls.
Ellen Degeneres takes no prisoners in this hilarious spoof of the shooped Target image which showed a model with ridiculously long arms and a huge gap between her thighs—at least, we think it was shooped but this clip says otherwise.
What do you do when you become hooked on a free-to-play app game? You could tirelessly spend every waking hour trying to rack up some points, or you could build an automated machine from Lego which taps your iPad all night long so you can collect all the points.
Prepare to be impressed as Rob Scallon acts like a big fat show off with his guitar and plays a whole bunch of songs in a really short period of time—watch in awe as he nails everything from Led Zeppelin to the Inspector Gadget theme.
You know how it is, you get the tub of ice cream from out of the fridge but it's just too damn solid to eat—damn your impatience! But Haagen-Daz have got a solution: knowing that ice cream is best when slightly thawed, they built an AR app to play you music while you wait for it to become the perfect consistency.
Just because you're old and grey doesn't mean to say you have to be a total grump—just look at this lot who are dancing themselves a newbie to Pharrell's hit song that you feel you should hate but just can't bring yourself too.
A new take on the popular strategy game lets players colonize a new world out there in the universe—previously the Civilization games have started on earth, but this new instalment goes interstellar and pits you on an alien planet to explore and colonize.
Jimmy Kimmel dressed Drake up in a beard and glasses and sent him to the streets to ask people what they thought of the Canadian rapper—and some of the responses are hilarious, with one guy even composing a song about himÚ "Drake yeah I think you suck," it goes.
The Masters may be a long-established golfing tradition, but that's not to say it couldn't be improved by some of golfing's finest taking on the obstacles found on a crazy golf course, like in this spoof video—will Tiger beat the windmill? Tense stuff.
As commercials for your new family-run restaurant goes, this is the way to do it—don't overload people with slickness and tack, instead just deadpan your way through it (and feature your kid) and you'll endear them to your new venture immediately.
Back in 1981, Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty wowed the entire world with their big hit "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." Skip forward to 2014 and Jimmy Fallon puts on a blonde wig and welcomes Nicks to The Tonight Show for an awesome recreation of the track and the music video.
The iconic opening from Game of Thrones is given a social media makeover where Facebook, Twitter and Google take the place of the warring families of Westeros as the landmarks, castles and structures of the noble houses get replaced by social media sites, apps, and tech giants.
It's time to park your cynicism and let this Thai commercial warm your heart as it celebrates the everyday heroes who don't ask for money or gifts or even acknowledgement for their actions, but whose reward is the joy felt at helping those less fortunate.
In honour of the great man's birthday, artist Red Hong Yi makes a portrait of Jackie Chan using 64,000 chopsticks, which are not only a simple of Chinese culture, but Mr Chan uses them as a fighting tool in his movies too.
Sometimes your pet cat's affection is very welcome, other times, like when you're trying to do some shredding to impress the masses like Tony Martinez here, the stupid feline gets in the damn way. Unless it can play guitar, of course.

Wireframe of the top module for Bad Racket v5. We're thinking about dedicating the top spot for music discovery, which pushes content for bands & recording engineers (our other two audiences) further down the page.
The dark bar in the middle will be the main CTA for this section: Subscribe for album releases, shows, and parties.
Guilty admission: I just spent 10 minutes pixel hinting the wireframe after resizing it for dribbble. Lame!

Although I know it's a wireframe, I almost like it just like that. Dig the colors

Thanks Jason :) I worked in B+W at first, but couldn't resist throwing a little color in there to see how it would work.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Orioles considered one of the worst defensive teams in baseball a few months ago?
Is this the same team that headed into September leading the American League in errors and trailing the other 13 AL teams in fielding percentage?
It is, of course, but the Orioles got another organizational pat on the back on Tuesday night when Adam Jones, Matt Wieters and J.J. Hardy were awarded Gold Gloves, signifying that the league's managers and coaches consider them the top fielders at their respective positions.

See more photos »
Those shiny trophies — the second each for Jones and Wieters and the first for Hardy — also signify something else, though those three players might have been honored regardless of the performance of the rest of the Orioles defense. The fact that the Orioles led the major leagues with three Gold Glove recipients this year and the team won that many for only the second time since 1976 is also a sign of the seismic shift in the fortunes of the franchise over the course of just one season.
The overall performance of the team isn't supposed to make any difference in the Gold Glove selection process, but the voters are human, and their perception of the players couldn't help but be enhanced by the additional media attention paid to the Orioles during their surprising turnaround season.
Hardy might be the best example, considering he probably deserved to win a Gold Glove last year, but it was more obvious this season that he was — along with being one of the steadiest shortstops in the game — the glue that held the Orioles defense together during the rocky early months of the season.
Clearly, the Orioles had all kinds of trouble catching and throwing the ball throughout the spring and most of the summer, but their up-the-middle defense was solid throughout, and that allowed manager Buck Showalter and baseball operations chief Dan Duquette to make the midcourse corrections that dramatically transformed them into a very solid defensive team down the stretch.
Duquette's penchant for stockpiling veteran talent at the Triple-A level paid off big when he promoted 2008 Gold Glove winner Nate McLouth to shore up the injury-depleted outfield, and the surprising decision to rush top position prospect Manny Machado to the majors to fill a gaping defensive void at third base (even though that wasn't his primary position) turned out to be a watershed moment for the Orioles infield.
It's also impossible to discount the contribution of Mark Reynolds after he bought into a permanent shift to first base, but none of it would have had the desired effect if the Orioles did not already have premier defenders at three of the four middle-defense positions.
Here's the best news: The Orioles also have a Gold Glove right fielder, Nick Markakis, who is ready to return full-time next spring after missing the final months of the season with a broken thumb, so it's possible that the Orioles will be able to start next season with a Gold Glover at every outfield position if they can persuade McLouth to stick around for awhile.
Maybe it's a little early to coronate Machado, but he got comfortable at third base in a hurry and seems destined to be an elite fielder wherever he ends up in the infield, so it isn't unreasonable to look ahead to 2013 and see six Gold Glove-caliber defenders in the Orioles' everyday defensive alignment.
What an amazing difference just a few months has made in the outlook for the defense and the overall outlook for the entire team. There are still some big issues to be addressed, most notably how the front office will handle Reynolds' contract situation and what it will take to get McLouth to return, but it's fair to say that the Orioles are building the kind of defensive team that used to be the hallmark of this franchise.
Obviously, that has not gone unnoticed.

Nokia has identified the problem and devised a software fix, which will be rolled out on or around April 16th. Customers not wanting to wait can have their phones swapped for updated versions in AT&T stores. The company will also give any AT&T customer buying a Lumia between now and April 21 a $100 credit on their next bill."
At the price AT&T are retailing the Lumia for (with contract), that $100 credit means you're effectively getting the Lumia for free. If you aren't afraid of hooking up with AT&T, that's a pretty good deal for what looks like one of the better Windows Phone 7 devices out there. And kudos to Nokia for the fast turnaround.

Strengthens weak, worn and cracked hooves by improving the molecular structure of the horn itself. Prevents the horn from taking in excess moisture, making it resistant to softening or weakening in wet conditions. This results in a reduction of shoe loss and abscesses. Not an oil or resin layer and does not seal the hoof, ensuring the treated hoof is able to breathe naturally so the moisture balance is properly maintained. Should also be applied to the sole of the hoof to prevent bruising.

Wyandottes originate from the United States and no one really knows which breeds were used to create the Wyandotte breed. They were first reported in the 1860s and the first variety was the silver laced variant. They are large chickens with a particularly rounded appearance. They have broad bodies and are full feathered. The hens have a deep breast and backside which shows that they are good layers. The Wyandotte has yellow legs with a round, short head, rose comb, bright red ear lobes and reddish bay eyes. They are a good dual purpose breed.
Wyandottes are docile birds and the hens are excellent broodies and make good mothers. They lay well and chicks tend to be strong and are quick growers. Their attractive \"curvy\" shape, generally good disposition and many attractive colour patterns (varieties) make them a good choice for fanciers as well as farmers
White, Blue, Buff, Red, Black, Barred, Partridge and Silver Pencilled, Silver, Gold, Blue and Buff Laced, and finally Columbian which has similar markings to the Light Sussex.
Fairly common
Just bought a trio of silver laced and have been amazed how tame they have become in a very short time .Cockeral is quiet and very docile hens also .So impressed I'm looking to get more
I love this breed! We have one, Her name is Sylvia. She is not to wild and not to tame which is really nice!
Have kept Dottes for over four years. They are an absolute delight to own. Great fun and easy on the allotment. The only minus as far as I am concerned is that they go broody at the drop of a hat. However this is far outweighed by the pleasure they give in other ways.
We have just bought 6 Wyandotte bantams. No previous experience of chickens but these little girls are fab. Kids have spend hours looking after them. Tv not even switched on! Plenty of eggs, lovely looking and easy to look after.
Having kept Welsummer, Warrens, Sussex and Dutch Bantam as well as my flock of Partridge Wyandotte bantams, I can honestly say these are the most pleasurable little chucks you could wish for. They busy themselves all day picking at the grass and whilst the Warrens are friendlier, they don't have the same presence of the stately little Wyandotte. If you're after a few eggs but mainly something easy to look after (and pretty to look at), you've found it in the Wyandotte.
