Test Overview
A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an X-ray test that looks at the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes and the area around them. It often is done for women who are having a hard time becoming pregnant (infertile).
During a hysterosalpingogram, a dye (contrast material) is put through a thin tube that is put through the vagina and into the uterus. Because the uterus and the fallopian tubes are hooked together, the dye will flow into the fallopian tubes. Pictures are taken using a steady beam of X-ray (fluoroscopy) as the dye passes through the uterus and fallopian tubes. The pictures can show problems such as an injury or abnormal structure of the uterus or fallopian tubes, or a blockage that would prevent an egg moving through a fallopian tube to the uterus. A blockage also could prevent sperm from moving into a fallopian tube and joining (fertilizing) an egg. A hysterosalpingogram also may find problems on the inside of the uterus that prevent a fertilized egg from attaching (implanting) to the uterine wall.
Why It Is Done
A hysterosalpingogram is done to:
- Check for a blocked fallopian tube. The test often is done for a woman who is having a hard time becoming pregnant. An infection may cause severe scarring of the fallopian tubes and block the tubes, preventing pregnancy. Occasionally the dye used during a hysterosalpingogram will push through and open a blocked tube.
- Find problems in the uterus, such as an abnormal shape or structure, an injury, polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or a foreign object in the uterus. These types of problems may cause painful menstrual periods or repeated miscarriages.
- See whether surgery to reverse a tubal ligation has been successful.
How To Prepare
Before a hysterosalpingogram, tell your doctor if you:
- Are or might be pregnant.
- Currently have a pelvic infection (pelvic inflammatory disease) or sexually transmitted infection (such as gonorrhea or chlamydia).
- Are allergic to the iodine dye used or any other substance that has iodine. Also tell your doctor if you have asthma, are allergic to any medicines, or have had a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) from any substance (such as the venom from a bee sting or from eating shellfish).
- Have any bleeding problems or are taking any blood-thinning medicines, such as aspirin or warfarin (such as Coumadin).
- Have a history of kidney problems or diabetes, especially if you take metformin (such as Glucophage) to control your diabetes. The dye used during a hysterosalpingogram can cause kidney damage in people with poor kidney function. If you have a history of kidney problems, blood tests (creatinine, blood urea nitrogen) may be done before the hysterosalpingogram to check that your kidneys are working well.
This test should be done 2 to 5 days after your menstrual period has ended to be sure you are not pregnant. It should also be done before you ovulate the next month (unless you are using contraception) to avoid using X-rays during an early pregnancy. You may want to bring along a sanitary napkin to wear after the test because some leakage of the X-ray dye may occur along with slight bleeding.
You may be asked to sign a consent form that says you understand the risks of the test and agree to have it done.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have about the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
A hysterosalpingogram usually is done by a radiologist in the X-ray room of a hospital or clinic. A radiology technologist and a nurse may help the doctor. A gynecologist or a doctor who specializes in infertility (reproductive endocrinologist) also may help with the test.
Before the test begins, you may get a sedative or ibuprofen (such as Advil) to help you relax and to relax your uterus so it will not cramp during the test. You will need to take off your clothes below the waist and drape a gown around your waist. You will empty your bladder and then lie on your back on an examination table with your feet raised and supported by stirrups. This allows your doctor to look at your genital area.
Your doctor will put a smooth, curved speculum into your vagina. The speculum gently spreads apart the vaginal walls, allowing him or her to see the inside of the vagina and the cervix. The cervix may be held in place with a clamp called a tenaculum. The cervix is washed with a special soap and a stiff tube (cannula) or a flexible tube (catheter) is put through the cervix into the uterus. The X-ray dye is put through the tube. If the fallopian tubes are open, the dye will flow through them and spill into the belly where it will be absorbed naturally by the body. If a fallopian tube is blocked, the dye will not pass through. The X-ray pictures are shown on a TV monitor during the test. If another view is needed, the examination table may be tilted or you may be asked to change position.
After the test, the cannula or catheter and speculum are removed. This test usually takes 15 to 30 minutes.
How It Feels
You probably will feel some cramping like menstrual cramps during the test. The amount of pain you have depends on what problems the doctor finds and treats during the test.
There is always a small chance of damage to cells or tissue from being exposed to any radiation, including the low levels of radiation used for this test. The chance of damage from the X-rays is generally very low compared with the potential benefits of the test.
There is a small chance of a pelvic infection, endometritis, or salpingitis after the test. The chance may be higher for women who have had pelvic infections before. Your doctor may give you antibiotics if he or she thinks you might develop a pelvic infection.
There is a small chance of damaging or puncturing the uterus or fallopian tubes during the test.
There is a small chance of an allergic reaction to the iodine X-ray dye, especially if you are allergic to any shellfish.
In rare cases, if an oil-based dye is used, the oil can leak into the blood. This can cause blockage of blood flow to a section of the lung (pulmonary embolism). Most hysterosalpingogram tests use water-based dyes.
After the test
After the test, some of the dye will leak out of the vagina. You also may have some vaginal bleeding for several days after the test. Call your doctor immediately if you have:
- Heavy vaginal bleeding (soak more than one tampon or pad in one hour).
- A fever.
- Severe belly pain.
- Vaginal bleeding that lasts for more than 3 to 4 days.
A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an X-ray test that looks at the inside of the uterus and fallopian tubes and the area around them.
The shape of the uterus and fallopian tubes are normal. The fallopian tubes are not scarred or damaged. The dye flows freely from the uterus, through the fallopian tubes, and spills normally into the belly.
No objects (such as an intrauterine device, or IUD), tumors, or growths are seen in the uterus.
Fallopian tubes may be scarred, malformed, or blocked so that the dye does not flow through the tubes and spill into the belly. Possible causes of blocked fallopian tubes include pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or endometriosis.
The dye may leak through the wall of the uterus, showing a tear or hole in the uterus.
An abnormal uterus may show tissue (called a septum) that divides the uterus.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- If your fallopian tube has a spasm. This may make a normal fallopian tube look blocked.
- If the doctor can't put a catheter in the uterus.
This test is not done on women who are having their period, are pregnant, or have a pelvic infection.
What To Think About
- In some cases, a pelvic ultrasound test may be done instead of a hysterosalpingogram to find foreign objects in the uterus, such as an intrauterine device (IUD). To learn more, see the topic Pelvic Ultrasound.
- Some early tests to find the cause of infertility may include tests such as semen analysis and blood tests for luteinizing hormone (LH), progesterone, or follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). If these tests can't find the cause of infertility, a hysterosalpingogram may be done. To learn more, see the topic Infertility Testing.
- A hysterosalpingogram is done mainly for women who are having a hard time becoming pregnant. Some studies show that this test may help a woman's chance of becoming pregnant because the dye may remove mucus plugs, straighten the fallopian tubes, and break through thin scar tissue.
- Hysteroscopy may be done instead of a hysterosalpingogram to look at the uterus. Another test called laparoscopy may also be done instead of a hysterosalpingogram to look at the fallopian tubes. A laparoscopy does not show whether the fallopian tubes are open, unless dye is injected during the laparoscopy.
- Another test, a sonohysterogram (SHG), may be more accurate than a hysterosalpingogram for looking at uterine fibroids or polyps. SHG uses ultrasound to watch the movement of a salt solution (saline) that is injected into the uterus. SHG does not use X-rays or an iodine dye.
- If a blocked fallopian tube is the cause of infertility, an oil-based dye may be used during a hysterosalpingogram to remove the blockage. Some studies show that an oil-based dye may open up a blockage better than a water-based dye, but other studies have shown no difference between the two dyes.
- Be sure your doctor knows if you take metformin (such as Glucophage) for diabetes or for any other reason, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), because of the possible interaction with the dye used in this test.

There had been some rumors and speculation in recent weeks that Verizon's next round of holiday "attack ads" would take aim at Apple, iPhone jailbreakers, and, of course, AT&T. For now, however, it seems that Verizon is just going to focus on coverage claims against AT&T.
Apple Insider has amassed the new ads, which have just begun running. The titles of the ads include: "Naughty Nice," "Misfit Toys," and "Blue Christmas."
[The ads] prominently feature the coverage maps first introduced in the "There's a Map for That" commercial. These maps were a point of contention between Verizon and AT&T, causing AT&T to bring a lawsuit against Verizon for misrepresenting AT&T's 3G coverage areas.
Strangely enough, this latest round of holiday ads may be foreshadowing a relationship between Apple, the iPhone, and Verizon - one possible explanation for why Verizon didn't deliver any harsh jabs anywhere else except at AT&T.
In the ads, it is clear Verizon has tried to separate their criticism of AT&T from the iPhone itself, going so far as to call the phone "A great 3G phone without great 3G coverage." This may be an indication that the rumors of Verizon offering the iPhone sometime in 2010 have some truth behind them.

How does the models look like for this storm that could be here on Monday?
Thanks, really appreciate it!!!!
This is the one I'm really watching closely. Huge game, but a longish drive with my son.
From what I've read, somewhere is going to get a lot of precip. But it may mainly stay south of Iowa. Or it may not.
They'll know better tomorrow when this storm is past.
Doesn't look like it will be that much, maybe.
At this point, I wouldn't worry much about it until Sunday evening.
Isn't the storm on Monday suppose to include freezing rain?
Etz chaim he dude, as the ex used to say
I don't know the details of the forecast, but I will be booing the weather report at the next 2 games.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
I can't help but roll my eyes. The last mega winter storm thread started off predicting 20+ inches of snow for central Iowa. It's now 8:30 pm on Thursday evening and I'm looking out my window at maybe 1 inch of snow and there's nothing falling from the sky right now.
One of the biggest home games of the year on National TV?
It's only fitting for ISU that there will be a massive ice or snow storm...
When Prepared, Fear No One.
Pretty sure they're calling for a bunch of cyclones to rip through Kansas
Awful if this game gets pushed back.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
After today's "storm" petered out the way it did, I've had it with storm predictions. Just sit back and let whatever happens happen.
First, the game wouldn't be postponed.
Second, the latest models show that the storm might head further south and not have much of an impact in Iowa. Keep your fingers crossed.
Less than whatever they're saying now.
Like this current storm. Like every storm.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.

Hugo Weasley
this wiki
Hugo Weasley (born sometime after August 2006) was a half-blood wizard and the child of Ronald and Hermione Weasley (née Granger). He has an older sister named Rose who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the 2017-2018 school year onwards.
Hugo Weasley was born after August 2006 (as he is specified to be younger than Rose and not going to Hogwarts in the same year as her) to a pure-blood father and a Muggle-born mother, making him half-blood. He is about two years younger than his sister Rose, and around the same age as his cousin Lily Potter, daughter of Harry and Ginny Potter, and the two seem to be quite close. In 2017, he accompanied his parents to see off his sister and his Potter cousins to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hugo and Lily shared an eagerness to go to Hogwarts, despite both of them being too young. At King's Cross Station, the two had "an animated discussion about which House they would be sorted into when they finally went to Hogwarts" [1]
Although it is not specified when, it is likely he will attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when he turns eleven. While some fans have speculated that he is around the same age as Lily, this is not confirmed.
Physical appearance
Hugo, like his elder sister Rose, takes after their paternal family in looks. He has his father's red hair and blue eyes.
Hugo is a Latinised form of the Germanic or Teutonic name Hugh, meaning "bright in spirit and mind". French novelist and poet Victor Hugo was a famous bearer of this name. J.K.Rowling loved his works.
It is also possible that Ron and Hermione wanted their children to have the same initials as their parents, R and H. Interestingly, both children also have names consisting of four letters.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was also awarded the Hugo Award, so it is possible that this was J. K. Rowling's way of thanking them for that honour.
Behind the scenes
- Hugo is portrayed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 by Ryan Turner.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, Hugo appears licking a lollipop. His father, Ron, tries to swipe it from him but misses, as Hugo moves his arm.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (First appearance)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

I just ordered the Samsung S4 zoom. It had nothing to do with your comments. I didn't actually find the shootout report until after I'd placed my order.
Nothing in your review has changed my mind. At $299 AUD compared to the almost $900AUD for an iPhone, I am happy to have a camera that I can make phone calls with rather than have a phone I can take photos with.
I'd love to have the waterproofing of some higher priced units but an umbrella is likely to be a good investment if I decide to shoot in the rain!

- "Let's teach this would be a tough guys what it means to be a tough guy"
- ―Toni Cipriani about the Triads.
Taking Out the Laundry is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Toni Cipriani from his mother's restaurant in the Saint Mark's district of Portland Island, Liberty City.
Toni tells Claude that he wants him to destroy three of vans used by Mr. Wong's Laundromat, after the Triads had attempted to ambush him before. Toni tells Claude to drop by 8-Ball's Eightballs Autoyard in Saint Mark's to collect some grenades. After leaving Toni, Claude locates and destroys the three vans, avoiding pursuing Triads after destroying the first van.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go pick up the grenades
- Destroy the three laundry vans
- Although the mission ask you to destroy the vans using the grenades, is not really necessary do this. In truth, it is much easier fulfill the mission stealing the three vans and destroy them at the same time pushing them to the ocean. If you want to use this technique, it is also important that you know: You must steal the vans stopping a car in front of them carefully, because if you hit your car or shot in the vans, the drivers perceive that they are being pursued and will run of you quickly, making it impossible rob them.
- Use the grenades to destroy the vans is a very bad idea because it draw police attention quickly, the technique above is recommended if you want to economize the grenades to use them later and avoid the aggressive Triads. Just as they start to attack you only if destroy one of the vans, merely steal them will not make them to attack you.
The reward for completing the mission is $20,000. The mission The Pick-Up is unlocked by completing the mission.

About 2,000 Fort Carson soldiers are preparing for a deployment to an undisclosed location.
The troops are from the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 4th Infantry Division.
The brigade was holding a color-casing ceremony at Fort Carson on Tuesday. The casing of unit colors is a military tradition signifying the unit is ready to deploy.
Fort Carson says the soldiers are deploying to a location in the Central Command's area of responsibility but did not give specifics. A spokeswoman says no more information is being released.
The soldiers will depart over the next few weeks.

To be able to hit a moving target, a hunter must learn several firing methods - and with each one, the hunter sees a target, shoots ahead of it and follows through with the shotgun in constant motion.
Let's start by looking at the swing-through method. When using this method you must consider several factors:
Step 1.
Hunter sees target. Starts to swing.
Step 2.
Swings through target, pulls the trigger, and continues the swing, spreading shot in front of target.
Step 3.
Target and shot come together as the hunter follows through.

Proposals for Schema.org
- See schema files for specific RDFS+RDFa needed by schema.org.
This page attempts to offer a canonical list of public proposals for schema.org vocabulary extensions and improvements. We also have an issue tracker to monitor concrete actions, bugfixes and workflow, and the email@example.com W3C mailing list for discussions. Sometimes proposals evolve from offlist and face-to-face discussions; when possible, advance warning of 'expected' or possible proposals can be indicated here. (announced 24 Feb 2012).
- Editor: Dan Brickley (email@example.com).
- Status: Feel free to update the table for accuracy and detail, but discuss status-oriented changes with the editor to avoid confusion.
- If you add a proposal, please also mail the firstname.lastname@example.com list to start a discussion (and link it from here)
Proposals should include markup examples as well as vocabulary definitions, and should point to related and prior work. It is also important to give examples of real sites that have suitable content. See Posting markup examples in W3C wikis documentation for details on how to post examples here.
Schema.org proposals can take any form during discussions, but ultimately they should take the form of HTML+RDFa schema definitions; some real examples are in the webschemas area of the W3C Mercurial repository.
Note: When preparing a proposal, we need to know for each type and property, its name and description, alongside examples of usage. There are lots of different ways in which these can be prepared: wiki pages, text files, spreadsheets, PDFs etc. Do note that each property is considered as a global entity, ie. a property called 'foo' gets just one description - you can't give different descriptions for its use with the "Person" type, versus its use with the CreativeWork type.
To search just these proposals, the issue tracker and schema.org-related mailing lists, try a this custom search.

|Several parties are working towards a Sports Vocabulary proposal. See query from Paul Kelly (SportsML), Microdata + Sports Stats post describing earlier ESPN/Google collaboration, and the Sports Ontology used by BBC, Press Association and others. See also sports-schema-collab mailing list.
|Several sources including a full draft from the ESPN+Google work. Needs summary here.
|March 2nd - posted writeup of the ESPN/Google Microdata vocabulary; next is discussion on finding common basic sports vocab for schema.org.
|Comics and Serials
|Discussing Proposals
|Proposal from Marvel (see examples).
|Adds PeriodicalSeries (under Intangible(?)), PeriodicalIssue (under CreativeWork), Comic Issue (under PeriodicalIssue), GraphicNovel (under Book). Approx 6-9 properties for each of these classes.
|Generally well received and specified, but some detailed discussion re fine-grain detail of comics (imprint, page count etc.). Can those properties be shared with Book/numberOfPages, or ScholarlyArticle? Should PeriodicalSeries be intangible?

Brainstorming, Use Cases and Advance Notice
The following topics are under discussion in the Web Schemas / Schema.org community, but are not yet approaching specific proposed designs or broad consensus on an approach. Note that this distinction is pretty fuzzy, but some partitioning was needed here due to the number of proposals we're seeing. There is no shame in being listed here rather than as a proposal above!
|Early proposal from HighWire Press needs review.
|Various ideas around improving ScholarlyArticle.
|Suggestion that scholarly articles could be described in more detail.
|There is a lot of related work in this area. For example Google Scholar publisher guidelines; Microsoft Academic Search. The Open Archives Initiative - Protocol for Metadata Harvesting also addresses this problem area and has broad adoption. See also earlier comments from HighWire Press (pdf) and following discussion (on the old mailing list).
|Real Estate
|Discussions but no proposal yet.
|Enthusiastic discussion in favour of adding RealEstate support. Tracked as issue 13. This should likely follow along after the Good Relations work.

|Good Relations integration
|The schema.org team and Martin Hepp collaborated to integrate of a version of GR into schema.org.
|See Good Relations site for background, e.g. quickstart page.
|Schema.org already had Offer and related terms, but benefitted from adding detail from Good Relations. Controlled values are still at purl.org GR URLs, and Good Relations continues as an independent project.

The Freeway is a motorcycle that appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV.
The Freeway is the second and third fastest bike in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, respectively. Due to its heavy weight, it is not suitable for stunts or off-roading, but its speed makes it an enjoyable bike for ordinary street-cruising. The Freeway resembles a classic Harley-Davidson motorcycle in all its incarnations, as is the basis for the Angel.
In Vice City Stories, however, it only has a black paint job. Going to a Pay 'N' Spray will not change its color.
In GTA IV, the Freeway resembles a 2007 Harley-Davidson Fatboy, and sports a Western Motorcycle Company brand and conventional handlebars, distinguishing it from more radically designed choppers. The bike is also available with one or two-tone colors, different carburetor caps and gas tanks, and optional side panniers (saddlebags) at the rear. It has a long wheelbase, rather heavy weight and fatter tires than other bikes, which give it the best ride of the bikes. The price for its comfort; its handling and acceleration. It has a very wide turning circle, which can give trouble when parking, or running from the cops. And its acceleration is marginal, but not impressive. All in all this is the best cruiser of all the bikes, but should never be put in a position when high speed and tight handling are needed.
In GTA IV, a Freeway is requested as part of Stevie's Car Thefts, appearing with a beige coloring. As a new Freeway will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to S&M Auto Sales, the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another.
- In the GTA Vice City introduction, there is a unique Freeway with flame decals. It is possibly the beta Freeway.
- In GTA San Andreas the Freeway has two exhaust gas plumes, on either side of the rear wheel, but only one exhaust on the right of the wheel. This implies that the freeway was originally meant to have two exhausts in the game.
- In GTA San Andreas, the Freeway can be used to enter Area 69 by parking close enough to a vent in the base where there are no vehicles kept. Once stepping off you should land in the base and right on a minigun. There is visibly no way out by either killing CJ or getting out through the vent in the next room.
- In GTA Vice City Stories it only has a black paintjob.
- In GTA IV, some game files (handling.dat and POLICE_SCANNER.rpf) refer to the Freeway as a "Bobber", although there already is a vehicle named "Freeway" in POLICE_SCANNER.rpf. "Bobber" may have been the Freeway's name in the GTA IV Beta.[1][2][3] "Bobber" is a term that refers to a type of modified motorbike somewhat similar to a chopper.
- Upon collecting all thirty vehicles for Stevie, he agrees to purchase vehicles from Niko Bellic. The Freeway can be sold to him for $2,000.
- The Freeway plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Flashback FM in GTA Liberty City Stories
- VCFL in GTA Vice City Stories
- Liberty Rock Radio 97.8 in GTA IV.
- In both of GTA IV's DLCs, the option of saddlebags on the Freeway was removed, for unknown reasons.
- In GTA Liberty City Stories the Freeway has a licence plate of the state of Florida like in GTA Vice City.
- In GTA San Andreas if one were to look at the back of the license plate on the Freeway the vehicle template is visible.
- GTA Vice City
- By a wall south of the North Point Mall in Vice Point.
- Usually spawns in Ocean Beach.
- GTA San Andreas
- Usually found in Fort Carson.
- Spawns randomly in The Panopticon, Red County (Parked)
- Found in the Xoomer gas station in Flint County, near the RS Haul depot.
- Parked outside Hippy Shopper in Queens, San Fierro (Starts a courier mission)
- Parked outside Bike School in Blackfield, Las Venturas after achieving all bronze in Bike School
- Found at most truck-stops and gas stations throughout Tierra Robada and Bone County
- Spawns regularly around The Strip, Las Venturas
- Spawns regularly in the countryside and in the desert
- On the 10th floor of the parking garage for The Emerald Isle(only when wanted for export)
- GTA Liberty City Stories
- In the parking lot east of Carson General Hospital in Rockford, Staunton Island
- In the parking lot behind the Staunton Island Safehouse in Newport, Staunton Island
- Beside Papa's 12 Inch and a public phone booth in Belleville Park Staunton Island
- In the parking lot at Francis International Airport in Shoreside Vale
- GTA Vice City Stories
- Outside The Greasy Chopper in Downtown, Vice City
- Two can be found outside The White Stallionz in Little Haiti, Vice City.
- Though it is somewhat harder to find than the other two chopper bikes, the Hellfury and Zombie, the Freeway can still sometimes be found in a specific part of the city. The Freeway can usually be found near the player's Safehouse in South Bohan, though it can be found elsewhere in Bohan also.
- Can be found parked in front of The Willis Wash and Lube car wash in Willis, Dukes, when Stevie ask's you to collect one.
- Very common in Multiplayer, often spawning around the airport or Star Junction.
- Often spawns in Algonquin near Middle Park.
- Usually spawns in Dukes.
- Frequently spawned when driving a Schafter in Lancaster.

- Three-dimensional high-aspect-ratio recording in resist
- Author(s)
- Kondo, Toshiaki; Juodkazis, Saulius; Mizeikis, Vygantas; Misawa, Hiroaki
- Abstract
- We demonstrate a method of capillary force reduction during wet processing of three-dimensional structures photo-polymerized in resist by femtosecond pulses. A rinse in water was added as the final step of wet processing for recovery of free-standing photo-polymerized structures with feature sizes of ∼100 nm. The hydrophobicity of resist was utilized for reduction of the capillary drainage force. We show a possibility of holographical recording of a three-dimensional woodpile structure, which has a good permeability and can be fabricated by the proposed modified wet processing.

text: Brave new thermostat: How the iPod's creator is making home heating sexy Technology 25 October 11 by Steven Levy Wired.com "You're going to build a what?"That's what Tony Fadell's wife, Dani, said to him in 2009 when he told her his idea for a new company. Fadell is one of the most sought-after talents in the world of gadgetry -- he designed the hardware for the iPod, and headed Apple's iPod and iPhone division before leaving his VP post to spend time with his wife and two young children, living an idyllic year in Paris.But even before he moved back to the United States he was mulling over his next step. Many assumed that the 42-year old technologist would continue his brilliant career in consumer electronics. He might even become a contender to run an existing multi-billion dollar business-in electronics, in mobile, maybe even Apple.Instead, he told Dani, he was going to build a thermostat.A what?Fadell explained his concept: Untold tons of carbon were being pumped into the air, with people losing billions of dollars in energy costs, all because there was no easy, automatic way to control the temperature. But what if you could apply all the skills and brilliance of Silicon Valley to produce a thermostat that was smart, thrifty and so delightful that saving energy was as much fun as shuffling an iTunes playlist?You could revolutionise an important but neglected tech backwater -- and significantly improve the environment. Within 15 minutes, Dani got it. As did the others Fadell would talk to over the next few months. These included a dream team of Silicon Valley engineers, designers and computer scientists, who became the first employees of Nest Labs, the company Fadell founded.Investors were equally enthusiastic, and though Nest won't disclose the size of the total stake, it is reasonable to assume that upwards of $50 million (£31 million) has come from a consortium that includes Kleiner Perkins, Google Ventures, Lightspeed Ventures, Shasta Ventures, Intertrust, and Generation Investment Management (backed by Al Gore, who was enchanted with a demo that Fadell gave him at TED in 2011.)"In other green startups, ideas are incremental -- we haven't found breakthrough ideas," says Kleiner Perkins partner Randy Komisar. "But this breaks the mold."Now comes the payoff, as Tony Fadell's company introduces the Nest Learning Thermostat. It is available for preorder at Best Buy in the US and Nest.com, and will ship in November. Units are already streaming from assembly lines in the Chinese factories that churn out advanced digital gadgets.The Nest is the iPod of thermostats. A simple loop of brushed stainless steel encases a chassis of reflective polymer, which encircles a crisp color digital display. Artificial intelligence figures out when to turn down the heat and when to jack up the air conditioning, so that you don't waste money and perturb the ozone when no one is home, or when you're asleep upstairs. You can communicate with the Nest from your smartphone, tablet or web browser.Fadell promises the Nest will pay for itself within a year or two of use, and ultimately save you up to 30 per cent of your utility bill. And its presence on your wall will be less an artifact of the industrial age than a piece of high-tech art.Can the unloved thermostat become an object of techo-lust? Will the Nest really save its users an aggregate billions of dollars? Can it spare our beloved pale blue dot endless tons of unwanted carbon?Tony Fadell is about to find out.Fadell got the idea for Nest Labs when he was building a green home in Tahoe. A long-time aficionado of architecture, he threw himself into the details of house design. His domicile would be as gorgeous as the products he worked on at Apple, endowed with the same love of detail. When it came to HVAC -- the industry acronym for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning -- he worked with architects to drill sophisticated geothermal wells to regulate temperature. Everything was looking great. And then the architects presented him with the options for the thermostats that would adorn the walls of his perfect home.They sucked."What was wrong with them?" he now says. "They were ugly. They were confusing. They were incredibly expensive. They didn't have half the features you would expect for a modern thing. None of them were connected, so they didn't talk to each other. I wasn't able to remotely control them. In Tahoe, you want to be able check on the temperature of the house or turn it on before you get there. Because it's really cold in the winter. I couldn't do any of that, and I was like, 'Why is this?'"So Fadell started researching.Thermostats, he found, had not changed much in decades. The most popular model is known as the Honeywell Round, a white sphere circle with tiny meters indicating actual and desired room temperatures. When legendary designer Henry Dreyfus designed it, it was an instant hit -- but that was 1953!More recent, upscale programmable thermostats were not only hideous -- displays were straight out the DOS era -- but programming them was reminiscent of getting a 1970s VCR to tape a football game. In 2008, after a study that concluded that homes with programmable thermostats used more energy that similar ones without them, the Energy Star label was stripped from the entire category. A recent Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study found that "as many as 50 per cent of residential programmable thermostats are in permanent 'hold' status." According to Alan Meier, the scientist who performed the study, "A large fraction of people didn't know how to use them and didn't have patience the learn." The government estimates that the average home has a $2,200 (£1,400) energy bill, half of which is under the control of the thermostat. That means every household was losing hundreds of dollars because of that oblique gizmo on the wall. Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

It's always hard for me to switch gears after the Holidays. Just when I really start to get in the groove – they're over. I hate taking down all of the festive decorations and packing them away. And, boxing up the tree ornaments is even worse. I hate doing that more than I hate ironing. But time marches on, and so must we all. So, I tuck away the memories of each Christmas past in wads of tissue paper, and reassure myself that in about 325 days, I get to do it all over again.
There were many things that I wanted to share with you these past few weeks, but I was too busy "living in the moment" and never quite found the time. Take this Red Velvet Snowflake Cake, for example. I served this lovely cake on Christmas Day and it was a showstopper. It took me more than two days to make, and I barely had time to slide it onto a pretty cake stand before my hungry Holiday revelers were chasing me around the dining room with forks in hand! I propped it on a coffee table in front of the Christmas tree to hurriedly snap a few pictures while Mr. SGCC ran interference for me. Honestly, this was probably the most beautiful cake I've ever made. I wish I'd been able to snag a few more glamour shots before it was reduced to crumbs.
I got the inspiration for this cake from the December issue of Southern Living magazine. There it was on the cover, in all its pristine glory – and I was instantly smitten. I knew then that I would have to recreate it for our Christmas celebration. The original was a white cake slathered in vanilla buttercream. The outside of the cake was garnished with a mass of "snowflakes" carved out of white fondant.
Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone. As gorgeous as that cake already was, I had to put my own spin on it. In honor of Christmas, I decided to make a moist and fluffy red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. I knew that the deep, ruby-colored cake paired with pillowy, white clouds of cream cheese frosting would make a striking contrast when cut. And, did it ever! read more >>

Why was the mummy so tense? He was all wound up, of course! This Halloween, our Mummy Costume for Children is the perfect choice for a classically scary outfit. It comes with a hood, shirt, pants, and tie that will have you walking like an undead Egyptian pharaoh in no time. White shirt is made with tattered strips of off white fabric designed to look like aging and unraveling bandages. Pants, hood, and tie are designed to match. Everyone will fear the horrors that lie within the unwinding wrappings. Order a zombie makeup kit to continue the look and look downright frightening. Moan and groan as your shuffle around the party. A great group costume idea, have your friends dress up as other classic horror film monsters like vampires, werewolves, and zombies.

So there are plenty of other make/model photo superthreads... I figured we could share the Steamrollers. I own one. I love mine. It's arguably one of the best "out of the box" fixed gear bikes on the market for its versatility and quality at its price. Messengers, commuters, casual riders, hipsters and any combination of the aforementioned alike all enjoy them... so lets share the Steamrollers!
Here's mine and my buddy Billys... and a few I really like...

What are You Kidding Me ... Catch Me if You Can
In January, 60-year-old Wanda Lee Ann Podgurski of Manhattan Beach, California was convicted of 29 felony counts of insurance and disability fraud. She'd worked as an Amtrak clerk, and ended up faking a disability on the job. She collected more than $650,000 and used it to travel the world. But when she was due to be sentenced to 20 years in prison . . . she never showed up.
U.S. marshals have been trying to track her down ever since. And they got a BIG break on June 5th . . . when Wanda decided to TAUNT them on Twitter. She tweeted, quote, "Catch me if you can."
And thanks to that tweet . . . they COULD. They were able to trace it to Rosarito, Mexico, where Wanda was arrested last week. On Monday, she was back in court for jumping bail. Whatever sentence she gets from that will be tacked on to her 20 years.

About this item
Vita Coco's an all-natural, super-hydrating, fat-free, cholesterol-free, nutrient-packed, potassium-stacked, mega-electrolyte coconut water
While other beverages claim to be the before, during, and after sports hydrator, we don't. Sure, Vita Coco is stacked with potassium, and is as natural as natural gets (some say it's like putting a straw in a coconut). Vita Coco is about hydration. And hydration is important no matter what you do. It's okay if you're not a marathon runner, a football player or a Tour de France winner. Life is hectic enough, and you should be hydrated while you live it. Go ahead, get hydrated and remember that life is a sport.

Mbeeya Urban lawmaker Joseph Mbilinyi has said that over 75 per cent of people visiting his office to explain about their problems want support to pay school fees for their children.
Mbilinyi said this at a public rally held in Isanga ward in Mbeya city recently.
Following the situation, he requested the people and education stakeholders to contribute to the Education fund established in the constituency in order to support students whose parents and guardians have failed to pay school fees for them.
"I'm deeply saddened by children who fail to continue with studies, especially at advanced level of secondary education," he said.
He said the policy of his party, Chadema, was to ensure that education became free, and criticised the policy of the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) to commercilise education.
He said he had decided to start the education fund in the consitutuency so everyone would be able to go to school.
He said the fund, known as Mbeya Educational Trust Fund, would be able to reach its
objectives if all stakeholders supported it by sending in their contributions.
"If every resident here contributes only 1,000/-, and if we get 50,000 contributors, we would be able to collect 50m/-. With this sum we will be able to sent to university a minimum of 10 students. This would be a good beginning, and once people start seeing the fruits of the fund, more would contribute and therefore we would be able to sponsor even more students," he argued.
He said the fact that there were students whose education was cut short because of
lack of school fees it was the nation that was at a loss as it lost potential future leaders who could have helped it make progress in various sectors.
He argued that if the society did not put in place appropriate measures to help parents and guardians support their children go to school, then some might be forced to engage even in illegal activities, provided they raised money with which to send their children to school.
He said another bad scenario was of an increase in the number of street children because their parents could not raise school fees for them.
The MP launched the education at the end of last year. Currently it has savings amounting to 480,000/- and pledges amounting to 8m/-.

Today, Tanzanians are celebrating 48 years since Tanganyika and Zanzibar, hosting diverse civilisations and cultures, came together and formed one country.
The nearly five decades since that move is a fairly long journey for an individual, but viewed in terms of a nation, it is not that long.
Most Tanzanians were born during this period and have regarded themselves as such, and see the country as such, rather than as the former Tanganyika or Zanzibar.
Over the years the differentiating characteristics have gradually faded into the background and the bonds of unity grown stronger, shown by the closer interactions among its people, shared development vision and exploitation of resources.
During its 48 years of existence, the Union has definitely passed through various challenges — some threatening to pull it apart.
But it not only survived, but has recorded remarkable progress that would not have been achieved without being together.
For the first 23 years, the overriding contradiction on how Union matters should be handled reflected the Mainland-Zanzibar division. This is what prompted the emergence of the Group of 55 in the early 1990s which threatened to tear apart the Union.
The fifteen-year period that followed was marked by a long running resentment of the Union by the residents of Pemba who felt that they were less favoured compared to Zanzibar.
Thanks to the 2009 accord by the ruling party CCM and the Civic United Front (CUF), this jinx now remains history, and the Isles are now more peaceful than any part of the continent.
This has been possible after several commissions were appointed to look into how the two parties to the Union can amicably discuss and resolve their contradictions.
Despite these achievements, it must be understood that the CUF-CCM pact has not solved all the problems of the Union. It has however shown that no challenge is beyond solution, where there is a huge pool of goodwill to pursue development together.
Tanzanians in their plurality have a better chance now to bolster the image of the Union and if anything make it richer than any other time in its history — and this is when discussing the Union Constitution.
The issues of the Union just like many other political ones that have arisen in the recent past are largely democratic. They can at best be resolved through democratic means.
Good enough, only three weeks ago President Jakaya Kikwete appointed a Constitutional Review Commission which will oversee the collection of views from Tanzanians across the country.
It is our hope that those who have complaints or ideas on how the Union should be will use this opportunity to share their views through the commission.
Our belief is that the entire exercise shall be transparent and no one who wants to register views shall be barred.
In so doing, we think, the frequent complaints that we hear from certain quarters will be done away through the writing of the new constitution.
In our thinking, this is the surest way in which we can end any perceived shortfalls of the Union and ensure that it continues the positive work of bringing development to the people.

So, I'm weird. We all know that. I'd like to think everyone has a little bit of weird in them. If not- keep reading my blogs and maybe I'll rub off on you.
I enjoy blasting Danny Elfman while frolicking around my house by candle light. If I close my eyes I can pretend I'm in one of Tim Burton's fantastical movies. I'm instantly taken away to fantasy land. Yes. I do this.
There aren't many Danny Elfman like composers out there, however, and Halloween music/CDs tend to be very cheesy. Your options are "Monster Mash", fake screams, and cliche mad scientist laughs. Now, thankfully, we have a better option. In fact, I dare say these songs are downright sexy. I'd play them on Halloween…. and every night in between (Of course, if you know me, you'd know Halloween is every day for me, but that is besides the point).
What is this sexy creepy music you ask? None other than Midnight Syndicate.
Their Halloween Music Collection CD is a mix of piano, Halloween, and sex (not literally, don't worry). I love it. It's far from the usual Halloween CD's you'll find everywhere else.
Also, if you are looking for a good fright, check out the trailer for their horror movie (and Fangoria Magazine's Horror Movie of the Month)Â "The Dead Matter". It's creepy as hell.
"Midnight Syndicate's long-awaited dark fantasy film directed and scored by Edward Douglas and co-produced by Gary Jones and Robert Kurtzman. The Dead Matter tells the story of a guilt-ridden young woman (Sean Serino) desperate to contact her deceased brother who discovers a powerful ancient relic that controls the dead. Her dark obsession drags her into the tangled world of two warring vampire lords (Andrew Divoff of Lost , Wishmaster and Tom Savini of Friday the 13th, Dawn of the Dead), each with his own sinister plans for the artifact, and a vampire hunter (Jason Carter of Babylon 5) who will stop at nothing to destroy it. Classic horror themes with modern twists and a touch of dark humor that will keep you on the edge of your seat."
Halloween is fast approaching and you guys need to escape your problems for a while and get into the season. So sit back… light some candles…. run a bubble bath… relax to some sexy devil music… and don't forget to look in the mirror to catch a glimpse of the scary dead dude with a knife in his hand. They usually go hand in hand with bubble baths don't they?
Check out Midnight Syndicate's facebook page for more info.

May 6, 2016
A bill signed into law by Governor McCrory will provide limited immunity to underage drinkers who call for help if someone who drank too much needs assistance.
Lawmakers say the "911 Good Samaritan Law" is an effort to reduce drug overdoses and alcohol poisoning in our state.
The 911 Good Samaritan law provides limited criminal immunity from prosecution charges for less than one gram of drugs or paraphernalia to people who call 911 to report an overdose. The immunity also applies to underage drinkers who seek help for alcohol poisoning. In North Carolina, more than half of drug overdoses occur in the presence of another person, yet in most cases, witnesses are afraid to call for help for fear of police and criminal repercussions for drug possession.
In the past decade overdose deaths have tripled, claiming over 1100 North Carolinians last year, while nationwide overdose deaths have surpassed auto fatalities as the leading cause of accidental death.
The law goes into effect immediately.
