MMC, no help or advice-what now?(43 Posts)
I went for my 12 week scan today, only to be told my baby died at 8 wks & 2 days.I had no reason to think anything was wrong, except for extreme worry that something was wrong but i couldn't explain why i have been so worried. I have never been like this with the other children.
Only dp and my best friend know i am pregnant, or not as i now know.
This is my 6th pregnancy. Im totally heart broken. I've gone into shock and i can't stop crying. Im 39 years old, baby was due 3 weeks before my 40th. It was my last chance baby.
As today is a Saturday, i was told nothing would be done today. I've been given no information, i dont know what will happen now. The sonographer said i would get a call in the week, is this normal?
What should i be doing? How do you come to terms with a mmc?
Go with it shelly allow yourself to grieve for your baby.
No brownie points from being brave I've learned that in my life.
I didn't know if the baby was a girl. I just felt she was. Out of my 5 dc, i have only been wrong once.
I call her Little Baby.
My body is physically returning to normal to quickly. Im uncomfortable from erpc, very sad this morning...
shelly so glad it was as best as it could be under the circumstances.
It's so sad isn't it you really feel they are your child just like all the others.
Do you know she was a girl? I always felt mine was a boy called Ruben.
My mum was crap too.
Stay here for a while for support.
Goodnight little baby x
Have a big hug my lovely. Take care of yourself, and do exactly and only what you feel you need to.
The fact that your mum and sister have had 5 MC between them and are still insensitive cows just goes to show that there is no helping some people.
Surround yourself with the people who care instead.
I went to EPU yesterday, has another scan- i asked for the screen to be turned around, i needed to see the baby. She was laying at the bottom of the sack...she looked like she was curled up & asleep. I said goodbye to her.
I went in this morning at 7am for the erpc. I was home by 1pm.
I went back to the Whittington in the end. I am glad i did. The doctor yesterday tried to defend the sonographer but she conceded in the end by not defending her&apologised repeatedly.
I am still going to make a complaint. This situation is hard enough without people doing their jobs poorly.
Today i was treated with the upmost respect, dignity & care. From the surgeon, to the porter, each & every person i met was kind and considerate.
I had a private room which was spotless and when i explained about my ds being Autistic & me never not meeting him from school, they moved me from last on the list to the first. I didn't request this, the nurse told me afterwards. I couldn't fault the medical & emotional care i recieved yesterday & today.
I am glad i went back. Im not scared of the hospital now, whereas i would only have associated it with losing my baby, fear & sadness if i hadn't gone back. At least i feel i was, in the end, well cared for.
Im sad now, empty and a bit weepy but Dp is looking after me very well. I've spent the afternoon on the sofa (unheard of!!).
As the previous poster said my mum & sister have been bloody useless& in their need to 'care about me' shown their true selfishness & ignorance...I need to point out my sister has had 2mc & Dm had3!
Thankyou all for your caring words, your all so kind, even though many of you have been through so much worse. You have helped me so much... Xx
Ive just read your other thread Shelley, you really are going through the mill! Your mum sounds crap and Im sorry that your sister didnt help. This really is a fantastic place for support, stay here with us, we care.
I cant offer any advice other than just go with the flow. Hide in bed, do manic housework, shout, scream, cry, whatever you need to do.
We are all holding your hand, be strong. xxx
Shelly I'm so sorry this is being made more difficult for you. Hope you get an appointment today. Will your DP go with you? Or can you get a friend to go with you if DP needs to look after your children. Sounds like you need some moral support.
I know i keep saying this but thank you for replying.
I rang UCLH, I need a referal. The Homerton is really difficult to get to. My GP can't see me until tomorrow evening to get a new referal. I will go to the Whittington tomorrow morning. I have the complaint written up.
Dp begged me to go back to the hospital, he knows me better then myself (very annoying!). He said on Saturday he wanted to grab a member of staff&tell them, 'If you let her leave, you won't get her back'...
I needed to have a d&c after dd was born for retained products, i absolutely refused. Drs couldn't convince me& poor Dp thought i was going to either bleed to death or the infection was going to get me. I knew i would pass them eventually & after a course of antibiotics, i was fine.
After ds was born i had surgery on both hands for Carpel Tunnel Syndrome under local anesthetic but declined any sedatives. I refused to get back into the wheelchair to leave the theatre, went back to my room& demanded dp dress me. Of course the staff wanted me to wait, get pain killers etc but i wouldn't wait &left!
I've given birth with no pain relief twice. I've only ever has gas&air so i would be co herent & in control of the births!
When i say i am scared, Im really bloody terrified . I know Dp is worried more about my mental health then physical health, he's right too.
So i need to make myself go to the EPU tomorrow morning. I will go straight from dropping dc off so should be back in time for pick up. The appointment for the erpc will be made tomorrow so at least i can organise dc etc.
I just need to get there & not think too much. The alternative of trying to get through this naturally, could push me over the edge mentally. Ultimately this isn't just about me, its about Dp is& the dc too.
Oh sweetie what a cock up. As if you aren't coping with enough.
Yes complain definitely.
I remember the day between the d and c . Pain getting worse frightened to go to the loo in case I saw something it's shit.
You really will get over this in time but you are totally normal feeling like you do. You have to just go with it I'm afraid. You have had a whacking shock and a huge loss and things changed overnight its so disappointing.
Don't expect too much from yourself.
One of the best things I did was stay overnight in hospital (I was a nurse so private room) and just be alone with my thoughts.
Allow yourself to feel all the emotions that you are entitled to feel.
Oh Shelly talk about the hospital making a bad situation worse
Do complain (in writing, with the letter sent Recorded Delivery), and keep complaining till you get an apology. Write to the chief exec of the trust that runs the hospital then he/she will follow up with the ultrasound/EPU depts to work out what went wrong with their procedures. I'm furious they treated you this way, it shows a real lack of care.
Do self refer to another EPU, be really clear why you are doing so and hopefully you'll be seen more speedily/helpfully.
Good luck to you
Shelly I am so sorry for your loss, the way you have been treated is so unfair. Please do not blame yourself, nothing you did caused this.
I had an MMC is January last year and my story is strikingly similar to yours. I went for early scan at 6 weeks due to previous Ectopic, everything was fine. Then at 12 week scan baby was measuring 8 weeks, with no heartbeat. I blamed the blasted heated seats in my car, I used them once !
This was my last chance baby too (was 41), so hugely devastated. You will mend and recover from this, it will take time but you will get there I promise.
I thank God everyday for my DD, but also mourn the sister or brother she will now never have.
I second self referring to another EPU. I was sent home after my scan but an appointment was made for next day to discuss options. I was offered natural or surgical options. Medical was not offered as this often ends up needing to be surgical anyway. I chose surgery, as the thought of walking round carrying my dead baby was not something I could bear. It was surprisingly pain free, happened the next day and I felt I could then start to move on.
Take care.
p.s. it will get easier but very hard for you while you're in medical limbo due to the sonographer ballsing up.
Am so sorry for your loss. I had a MMC with my first pregnancy. It's very distressing.
Could you go to another London EPU where you self refer?
For exampl, I think UCL is self-referring and offers local anaesthetic d&c. www.uclh.nhs.uk/PandV/PIL/Patient%20information%20leaflets/Miscarriage.pdf
And I know Homerton lets you self refer.
I'm sure if you explain what's happened they'll see you pronto. You need this dealt with properly.
I called the EPU this morning. They told me the EPU was open on Saturday. I should have been sent there, scanned,paperwork &the d&c done Saturday night.
To add insult to injury, my details haven't been passed to EPU, so they would never have known about me had i not called. Finally the sonographer didn't put the results of the scan on the system or give me a print out of the results.
So basically i start from scratch. Im furious. I will be lodging a formal complaint. My choices now are go back to the Whittington EPU but you can't get an appointment,first come,first served. Go to my local A&E or back to my G.P for a referal to an EPU at another hospital.
The fear has now over taken the logic. I can't go back, i started to shake & sweat when the Dr suggested i go today.
Mentally Im really struggling. I was in Tesco earlier & convinced myself it was all wrong, that the sonographer was so incompetant that the babys probably fine.
I don't know what to do with myself. I can't eat, hardly slept and want to run away. I wish i could take my mind out of this useless body & leave this all behind. Dc will be home in an hour & god knows if i had someone to dump them on i would.
How do i move on? Im so scared,angry, heart broken and exhausted.
Your replys really help.
Its so hard because one minute Im fine&i think i can cope with this but suddenly it hits me like a ton of bricks.
I hate, hate, bloody hate hospitals. Im at the Whittington in north London. I went there once about 15 years ago. I had read,mainly on here, that it had been done up& was much improved-not where i was yesterday! I was quite shocked at the conditions. I've been to the Royal Free, & i thought that was rough but i won't be going back to the Whittington after this.
Im stuck, i have to go back but Im now scared. I want to see the baby but can't tolerate the idea of going through a medically managed mc in hospital by myself so the d&c is best. Its been 4 weeks so i can't wait much longer for nature to take its course.
I just want this to go away. I wish i didn't know. My scan should have been on Tuesday but i changed it as it clashed with the school pick ups. I wish i had left it now i would at least have had 3more days of being normal.
Im just rambling as my mind is in over drive but my body is exhausted. I need to finish sorting out the dc stuff for school. Then go to bed, i need to be up at 6.30am.
Thank you all, i would have gone mad without mumsnet this weekend. Xxx
Approximately what area are you Shelly? I'm in Essex. Maybe a mumsnetter who's been through it before could support you on the day of your op?
Prob best that your DP is with the kids, obv.
Shelly- I'm so sorry for you. Fwiw, the exact same happened to me. I had d and c. It was a scary time, but I did let myself grieve for the baby. It was a lonely time, and my mum was like cardboard . Having 2 young kids at the time both hindered and helped. Hugs to you. The d and c didn't hurt and I had minimal bleeding. I fell pg very quickly after, but lost that baby too- as my womb hadn't recovered from d and c. If you want to ttc again, I was advised (after second mc) to wait 3 month after op. so I did, and had a normal healthy baby. Don't lose hope! Just take each day as it comes, and really, do grieve for your loss- good luck xo
My booking in appointment was meant to be Tuesday, i will ring the community midwifes tomorrow to cancel the appointment. I've never met the local midwifes so there isn't any point in speaking to them now.
I will ring the EPU tomorrow to arrange an appointment with a doctor,the sonographer gave me the number yesterday but i think i need to be seen by gyne. I have never gone through this so i have no idea how it works.
I was ok earlier but Im exhausted now. I feel sick,headache & pains in my back&stomach are getting worse. Dp is at work so Im dealing with dc by myself. Its made me realise how isolated we are. The only help we get is through social services. It takes 2people to look after the 3 dc due to ds with autism.
I was planning on having the baby at home as i knew we wouldn't be able to organise childcare at short notice. I didn't fancy the idea of having the baby without Dp!
I will have to go in by myself for op&depending on the times,get a cab home.
Suddenly feels very lonely &scary...
I hope you get some answers tomorrow - It's sad the standard of care is so different across the board - my first scan led to rolling events and I had the op that night but the consultant asked when I last ate and as it had been at 11 and the first scan was at 2 and the consultant was talking to me at 4 he said he would put me on the list for tonight - it also depends on the hospital some hospitals operate 7 days a week and some just seem to stop at weekends etc -
Are you planning on going to the EPU in the morning? Or phone your midwife -
If you want/need to ask me something please do -
Thinking of you and hope all goes ok tomorrow -
I was never hugely aware of how a mc affects a person.
My mum came up after mine and let me speak about it for about 5 mins then changed the subject. It felt awful as my heart was literally hurting.
I remember the pain 12 yrs later. The loss.
My mum had a stillborn baby so I never felt I could be too sad around her.
Do take some time off work though.
Big hugs Shelly - I went through a MMC last year and it is heartbreaking. Time won't make you forget but it will make you stronger. Definitely speak to your sister - it will help x
Pumpkin, my mum would be the same. Because of ds my mum would tell me i shouldn't even be thinking about trying again.
My mil told a family member recently to stop whinging about her mc&to be grateful for the dc she has! mil is normally a fantastic person but i do think different generations deal with things differently.
Im going to call my sister later. She had 2mc before going onto have 2 gorgeous dc. We are very close in age&get on very well. I know she will be really upset for me&don't want to inflict my loss on her, IYSWIM? She knows about mc so will be understanding & have practical advice for me.
I'm so sorry to read this Shelley, so awful that you have been given no advice or support. Disgraceful.
Be easy on yourself.
Had a good chat with dp this afternoon, he's a very logical sort of person. He said the way he's coping is by thinking there was something wrong with the baby& it wasn't meant to be.
I agree, we already have an Autistic ds. I was worried the baby could have SN & had decided to not continue with the pregnancy if anything was discovered. I now realise that would be a million times worse then what wrong are experiencing, i know i couldn't terminate & it would be extremely difficult to cope.
Dp is good, don't get me wrong but when it was realised ds was having difficulties, he fell apart. I went through the whole diagnostic process by myself with ds. Dp to this day has never attended an appointment with a HCP with regards to ds. Dp used the word autistic in regards to ds only about 2 weeks ago for the first time. Ds was diagnosed 2 years ago & has been in a special school for a year!
I just need to get through the next couple of weeks. Its my dd 21st bday this week & we find out where Dd11 will go to Secondry school next Friday.
I've got some stuff to do with work that i will just pass on. I have a big project this week but I've done all the work& i don't need to be there.
Im feeling calmer & more resigned, I've moved mentally to tick boxing mode & being very practical- its what i do when Im struggling, oh & wash clothes like a mad lady!
You all take care, thanks for reading.
That's true Possibly-re the 5mins sympathy and then expect you to be as bright as rain a few days later!
Unfortunetly my mum has rather much been like this, bless her, she means well but her attitude is-oh well you were only 6+weeks etc, and on day 3 she accused me of being depressed previously and that she's happy i'm back to my normal self, very frustrating and to make things worse she's put her boot in about me trying again, not that we are, then she went on to say in the olden days i wouldn't have even noticed-lovely
Dh has been there for me, a close friend and my sister although a distance away, so atleast that's something.
My mum isn't normally like that, rather shocked tbh and quite upset, that she seems to think this is something i can just get over in a day

text: Week Two MVP meter Schaub makes appearance on list with Texans at 2-0 The field evened out in Week Two, with more non-quarterbacks entering the fray, but no Rams, Saints or Eagles make this list. Those are three offenses we expected to be darned explosive, or at least competent, so the race opens up. And it does so for guys such as Texans QB Matt Schaub, whose new team is 2-0 for the first time in franchise history. Up next is a brutal matchup with the Colts, and hell be facing them without his top wideout. But to date, Schaub has looked very composed as the leader of this revamped offense. 8. Texans QB Matt Schaub Throwing with confidence and guiding what appears to be a different kind of Texans team, Schaub has gotten himself off to a nice start in Houston. The big test will be to spread the ball to his other receivers this week with Andre Johnson on the shelf at least one game. Link to PFW

LOUISVILLE, Ky.- In one of the biggest games of the early season, WKU was down before the game even started.
Yesterday, junior forward Sergio Kerusch broke his right foot in practice and will be out six to eight weeks. Though he still chatted up and encouraged his teammates as he sat with them, that was about all he could do.
In his absence, the Toppers were no match for a hungry Louisville team that's had its struggles. Louisville pulled away late in the first half and rolled to a 102-75 rout.
"There were no surprises in the game, in terms of what we were ready to expect," coach Ken McDonald said. "We didn't go out and execute our press offense and stay aggressive. Just too many turnovers."
But Kerusch wasn't the only reason for the loss. WKU had trouble all game against the pressing Cardinals, who forced 25 turnovers. Louisville turned those into 36 points.
"There were no surprises in the game, in terms of what we were ready to expect," McDonald said. "We didn't go out and execute our press offense and stay aggressive. Just too many turnovers. I think we gave up 36 points versus their pressure. That's an unreal number. That might be a record, 36 points , that's a lot of points."
With 5:48 left in the first half, the Toppers trailed just 28-24. The Cardinals then went on a 17-6 run to end the half. With a strong second half, Louisville never looked in doubt.
"It's very frustrating and embarrassing how we didn't come out and play hard," senior guard A.J. Slaughter said. "We could've easily gotten in this game and we just let it slip out of our hands."
Even the interior presence that came up so big for WKU last year was gone. The Cardinals grabbed 37 rebounds, 19 offensively, to just 28 for the Toppers.
Junior forward Steffphon Pettigrew had a team-high 23 points and nine rebounds for WKU, but even he wasn't the same as last year's game. Pettigrew had held center Samardo Samuels in check, but today, Samuels gashed through the Toppers' front court, finishing with 14 points and nine rebounds.
Overall in the paint, Louisville held a more than decisive scoring edge of 52-20.
"We had more ball pressure on their guards," Pettigrew said. "I tried to fight in there and try to limit his touches the best I could. They just built that run that we couldn't…our heads just dropped after that."
When WKU could break the press, it didn't shoot that bad, shooting 45.1 percent from the floor. The Toppers also connected on 19-22 free throws.
WKU was whistled for 25 fouls and the Cardinals shot an astounding 39 free throws, connecting on 24 of them. Five of those fouls belonged to senior forward Jeremy Evans, who fouled out midway through the second half with just six points.
Kerusch is out. The Toppers knew that well in advance of the game and Slaughter said it's time to move on.
"We can't use that as an excuse," he said. "Injuries happen and we just have to pick it up as a team."
Murray State is the next chance for WKU to pick it up, as they come to Diddle Arena Tuesday.
"There's a lot of motivation because we were embarrassed at their place last year," McDonald said. "That's gonna be one of the stories, but we've got improvements we have to make as a team. We thought we were in the right direction. We had piece by piece, game by game gotten a little bit better, up an including the Vandy game, then we have a big letdown today."
When the Toppers play the Racers, they'll have already been embarrassed, from today's result.

text: I am posting this for anyone that has considered buying the SVE control arms on Latemodel or many other places. I have been doing a large build on my motor for the last 2 years and these RLCAs are not a very good product. When researching them I found they looked identical the MM RLCAs except for the bushings. I didn't think much of it at the time when I made a huge parts purchase. After about 2k daily driving miles I found this. I decided to try my luck on the similarity of the SVE to the Maximum Motorsport body and bought 2 sets of THESE bushings. Turns out they fit perfectly and now my car rides better than ever in the rear and the sway around corners is greatly reduced. I made sure to cover every busing part with the prothane grease to ensure longevity. It is very important to take care with the grease. In hindsight I would recommend to buy the Maximum Motorsport RLCAs if considering doing this upgrade.

Roland Garros renovation approved
PARIS -- Plans to expand Roland Garros, including a retractable roof over center court, will be allowed to go forward, the Administrative Court of Paris ruled Thursday.
The French Tennis Federation welcomed Thursday's ruling with "great satisfaction."
Plans to renovate the home of the French Open were originally put on hold in March after a tribunal sided with local residents who complained the development could harm the environment.
The expansion of Roland Garros is scheduled to be completed in 2017. Plans include a retractable roof over center court.
The project was approved by city authorities two years ago. But work was suspended after the tribunal sided with residents concerned that the project would encroach on a nearby botanical greenhouse.

Fashion Photo of the Day 8/2/13 - Jennifer Aniston
I love a great Jennifer Aniston pic, but this is no ordinary Aniston photo-op. A normally low key Aniston was showing off her gorgeous engagement ring at last night's "We're the Miller's" premiere, giving full frontal ring. I mean, have you ever seen a bigger rock?! It looked like it was too heavy for her hand! I love it though, she was radiating love and happiness.
And in true Aniston fashion she looked stunning. She kept it simple and chic in a Burberry cocktail dress. I love the deep plum color and the little cutout in the bust. It is such a sexy twist on a classic dress. I also am digging the length of the hem which can be tough to pull off. All in all, another great red carpet appearance by Aniston, but it was her ring that really stole the show!

What Do You Think About Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis claims to help people quit smoking, stop snoring, overcome fears, and lose weight, but how does it work?
I did a little research and found out that the brain operates in 4 different states: Full Conscious Awareness, the Hypnotic State, the Dream State, and the Sleep State. We spend most of our waking hours in the Full Conscious Awareness state, and as we drift into sleep, we pass through the 3 other states. The Hypnotic State is a place where you are not really thinking, you are just experiencing.
When you are hypnotized, the therapist can then make suggestions to your subconscious mind without your conscious mind getting in the way so you can overcome whatever fears or habits you want to get rid of.
When you are hypnotized, you're in an enhanced state of awareness so if you're contemplating going under, don't worry about doing things you aren't comfortable with -- you are actually fully aware of what's going on.
While it did help my friend quit smoking for a short period of time, I'm still a bit skeptical. Have any of you experienced hypnotherapy? Has it worked for you or do you think it's just a big scam?


text: Thanks to advice for this board, I now have a 1BR res at HH in Sept. (changed from a studio). Views are VERY important to my husband, can anyone recommend a good location for one? Marsh would be great, or something private/relaxing. Anything with lots of kids (I am guessing the pool) we would like to avoid (leaving our kids at home this time). The operater said we could call 4 days ahead to try to get a room assignment, does that sound about right? Has anyone ever done it earlier and suceeded? Thanks in advance!

If you're like me, you toil for hours editing and fine-tuning the first pages of your manuscript. You look at the first lines to make sure they are compelling and tight. You examine the next few paragraphs, hoping your MC's voice is already taking hold of the reader.
The First Five Frenzy is all about getting an agent's perspective on what works, and what fails, in those first pages of a manuscript. By reading each agent's comments, I hope you'll learn how to make your manuscript a shining gem that will be requested time and time again.
Today, I am proud to share Literary Agent, Sarah Negovetich's perspective on what's important in those critical first pages.
Amy: Many writers have the impression that a great first line is imperative to drawing in the reader. How important is a first line to you as an agent?
Sarah: I think the first line is important, but it's usually not a deal breaker if it isn't the most awesome sentence I've read all week. What I don't want to see is any grammar issues, passive voice, telling or info dumps. Writers will point to the greats of literature sometimes as their "get out of jail free card" for writing overly descriptive and oxygen-deprivation inducing first sentences. They forget to factor in that reader perceptions and expectations have changed from 100 years ago. Faulkner got away with it. You will not.
Amy: Many times a writer is told to stay away from common openings like dreams, eating breakfast, riding in a car, etc. What are some common openings you recommend writers stay away from?
Sarah: Yes, all of these. I also advise against extreme world-building. This is where the author tells us every little detail about a character and their location before getting to the present action of the story. The reason we advise against all of these is because they are boring. I've seen myself eat breakfast. It's a real snooze fest. That doesn't mean these openings are automatic passes. Consider the main character sitting down to breakfast where he has to arm wrestle his 11 siblings for the only two slices of bread in the house. This is the opposite of a boring breakfast.
The opening is all about convincing the reader they want to turn the page. You can open with almost anything so long as it captures the reader's attention and not in a gimmicky way.
Amy: When you've responded to a writer to request a partial or full manuscript, what was it about their first pages that piqued your interest?
Sarah: For me, the plot comes first. If I'm requesting pages, I've seen enough from the query to convince me that the plot is both unique and interesting. After that, I'm looking for clean pages that deliver on the promise of the query. Not to place any more pressure on the query, but it's really a promise of what you will deliver to readers in the novel. If your query is funny, I want funny opening pages. If your query has a snarky voice, I want to see that in the opening pages.
Amy: What are some common mistakes writers make in their first five pages?
Sarah: The most common mistake I see is a distant POV. A lot of readers assume that first person is automatically engaging because we are in the characters head, but that's not true. Consider these two lines:
ex. 1: I felt a cold breeze across my bare arms and it caused me to shiver.
ex 2: A cold breeze brushed my bare arms sending spidery tingles along my skin.
This is hardly poetic genius, but it should be clear which is a better sentence. The first distances us from the character by telling us how she felt. The second lets us experience the sensation along with her.
Amy: What resonates with you most in those first pages? Voice? Pacing? Unique concept?
Sarah: I think it's impossible to isolate a single aspect though plot is a biggie for me. Great first pages use each of these to their advantage. I know I've read something good when I get to the end of the sample and am surprised I already read five pages. It's a no if I stop at page two and scroll down to see how much more there is.
Sarah Negovetich knows you don't know how to pronounce her name and she's okay with that. Her first love is YA, because at seventeen the world is your oyster. Only oysters are slimy and more than a little salty; it's accurate if not exactly motivational. We should come up with a better cliché. Sarah divides her time between her own writing and working with amazing authors as a Jr. Agent and PR Team Leader at Corvisiero Literary Agency. Her background is in marketing, which is not as glamorous as it sounds. FYI, your high school algebra teacher was right when they told you every job uses math. Sarah uses her experience to help authors craft amazing stories, build platforms, and promote their work.

I am almost seventeen and my family has finally earned enough money to afford some sort of dental treatment. However at school, I have to do a lot of presentations and I am kind of worried that if I get regular braces, I won't be able to talk because my teeth are too sore. I was wondering if invisalign or ceramic braces can work and possibly provide an estimated cost. Thanks :)
Can Invisalign or Ceramic Braces Work for my Teeth? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Need more information but upper arch does look narrow. I would recommend conventional braces with ceramic in upper front if you wish. Please do have a consultation with at least one orthodontic specialist and more than one if necessary until you find someone you feel really comfortable with. You should have a very clear understanding of the problem and the solution that they have communicated to you. You want to use the fastest most efficient method possible and get it finished as quickly as you can but I would try to avoid resorting to surgical approaches.
Invisalign or Ceramic
From the looks of your case you would be best to go with ceramic braces. It seems you need palatal expansion. Your case is too complex for invisalign. Also consider Periodontally Acellerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) this will shorten your treatment time to 6 months or less. Good Luck!

It was with a heavy heart that I watched the funeral procession along Route 91 carrying Officer Jason Gresko to his final resting place at All Souls Cemetery. As the community mourns, let us not forget his family in the days, months and years ahead. This is just the beginning of a long, hard road ahead for them.
For some reason this week I was compelled to watch the movie "End of Watch." It was difficult to watch, and yet I came away sad and appreciative truly knowing that there is a "brotherhood" among the safety forces, both police and fire. We, as the public, cannot compensate these individuals enough as they leave their homes each day to enter into a world we will never know. Thank you, safety forces, for all you do for us.

Alameda County
There are but few men who have been more instrumental in shaping and directing the fraternal society affairs of this State than the subject of this sketch, the young leader of the Pacific coast.
The marvelous and unprecedented growth of the Ancient Order of United Workmen in California is largely due to the efforts of the first Grand Master, Wm. H. Jordan. At the formation of the Grand Lodge there were less than 500 members. During his two terms in office the membership had increased to over 10,000 and a separate jurisdiction. He was then a young man, and his great benevolent heart was so ardently enlisted that he gave a large portion of his time in organizing lodges.
Brother Jordan was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, September 3, 1849. He arrived in this State in 1859, after enduring numerous hardships in the journey across the plains. The ensuing seven years of his life were a varied experience of trial and toil, but he managed to find ways and means of fitting himself for and working his way through Yale.
During the last eleven years he has attended every session of the Supreme Lodge A. O. U. W. as a representative or as an officer of that body. As an index of his philanthropic and sagacious management as Grand Master Workman, when the call for help came from the yellow fever sufferers of Nashville, he telegraphed $500 on his own responsibility, which was duly approved by the Grand Lodge of California. But more complete was this great act of benevolence when, on appeal from Brother Jordan as G. M. W. each Workman in this jurisdiction paid the sum of $2.50 voluntarily without levying an assessment, to aid the widows and orphans of Tennessee.
He is also a member of F. and A. M. and a number of benevolent orders. At the last session of the Legislature he was elected Speaker of the Assembly, a position he filled with great credit. As a lawyer, statesman, and fraternal leader he has acquitted himself with signal ability. His name will go into history as an organizer, philanthropist and benafactor. (sic)

Britain's Loach joins Cannes race with Iraq film: report
Ken Loach, the British director who scooped the top prize at Cannes in 2006, on Monday belatedly joined the race for the Palme d'Or with a film on the war in Iraq, a report said.
His "Route Irish", set on the most dangerous stretch of road in Iraq that leads from the airport into central Baghdad, will join 18 other films in the running for the Palme, the Hollywood Reporter magazine said.
It focuses on two British mercenary soldiers in Iraq. One is killed in mysterious circumstances and his colleague rejects the official explanation and tries to find out what really happened.
The movie would be Loach's third entry for the Palme d'Or in the last five years. He took the coveted top prize in 2006 with "The Wind That Shakes the Barley," about Ireland's fight for independence from British rule.
Last year he entered "Looking For Eric," starring ex-footballer Eric Cantona as the imaginary mentor of a Manchester postman down on his luck.
Festival organisers did not immediately confirm that Loach's film would be in the competition whose top prize will be announced on May 23.
Variety magazine reported that that Loach originally did not plan to submit his film for the event but changed his mind at the last minute.
He would be the second British director in the race, the other being Mike Leigh who is presenting "Another Year."

as I said, I would also defend myself, and I would be very upset, infuriated, if my dog were to do this to someone. the problem is that 99% of people Ive met think my german shepherd wants to eat them alive when he is wagging his tail and begging for an ear scratch. and actually baring teeth, snarling, and hair up on top of back is a fear response. dogs show do this to people if they are cornered and afraid of the person. if a dog is charging at you he will look the same as a happy dog begging attention. cats are the only mammal with the ability to move their tails independently while running. dogs cant wag their tail while running, they can hold it straight out (or curled if a malamute, akita, etc) or between their legs. the only main difference you can tell between a angry dog and a happy dog running towards you is the happy dog will most likely be moving slower, possibly wiggling its body and head held low. head held striaght out (whole spine in a straight horizontal line) ears forward, eyes locked on yours is a predatory charge, ie a wolf charging towards a moose.
please dont take this the wrong way, I am not trying to convince anyone to ignore a dog running towards you. as I said, I would defend myself. unless it was rabid or attacking (or had before) a person or child I would not shoot it. I would kick, hit with a stick, etc. but yes it is better to shoot first and deal with the cinsequences. and I absolutely believe that no one should be allowed to own a dog and not have absolute control over it. name a situation for me and I garauntee one of two responses...either "yes, I'd have complete, total control over him in that situation", or "I dont know about THAT one, havnt trained in anything similar and therefore in that situation he would be on leash". so do I hate anyone or have anything against anyone who says they would shoot the dog? nope, not at all but I do have something against the owner and if they try to sue you over that, they should be thrown in jail for allowing the dog (truly dangerous/aggressive or not) to run loose.
the only reason I asked if anyone could tell the difference and detailed, somewhat, the physical and noticable differences between agression and "oh boy am I happy, please pet me" is so hopefully, atleast assuming the dog is charging from a distance and not from 10 feet away, you might have time to look and recognize if its a threat or not. do I expect everyone or anyone to see a dog 60-100 feet away charging for them and say "hmm, maybe I should leave my gun in the holster cause I cant tell for certain"? of course not. but hopefully it will help you, the owners, and the court system. doubtfull but as an animal lover, and a professional dog trainer (obedience, herding, tracking, agility, protection) I have to try. to me a dog running towards you is no different than a person running towards you. you have to think and evaluate wether it is a valid threat. just like with a person in a parking lot, could be in a big hurry to get to their car and run right past you. the dog could be after a rabbit you didnt see, or a ball you missed, or heard its owner calling from around the corner but has better hearing than any person so you didnt hear it. anyway, I'll shut up now.

I went on a walk tonight through a neighborhood that is filled with families, but has a lot of dangerous through traffic. I was walking my 4 mo old lab. Out of the corner of my eye I saw an enormous, probably 70 lb, pit bull. He was behind a short chain link. This was ridiculous to have a dog, that was showing his protective instinct by trying to scale, behind such a short fence. It was irresponsible by the owner and darn it, if that dog had gotten out, I would probably be on my way to the ER. The owner should be responsible. If you are going to own a dog that has the intrinsic desire to attack people, then one has to be accountable. Some people state that it is all in the way you train the dog. That being said, I have only know one lab that was a biter and every pit I have known I have had to tip toe around not to get eaten.

I dont disagree about the owner, all of them, needing to be responsible. their should be atleast as strict laws for pet ownership as for firearms.
I hear that a lot about pit bulls. I swear I have met and trained a lot of them. for the last 6 months I have had a policy where I wont train pits, or canary dogs/presa canrios. not because they have a "intinsic" aggression towards people. that IS totally in the lack of training and socialization. I've never had a pit bull that showed any sort of threat towards me or anyone else. everyone of them Ive seen DOES ignore anyone and everyone, and I am sure they would ignore a shotgun blast to the face (lets assume it wouldnt kill them) in order to fight with a dog. to back that up the us government, hospitals, and insurance agencies all list statistics of dog bite over the last 10-20 years. rottweilers, pit bulls, dobermans and german shepherds are at the very bottom of the top 100 list. know whats at the top? #'s 1-5 are small terriers, poodles, and chihuahuas. number 6? very suprising but its a tie between labs and golden retreivers. knowing that I am still more cautious around my beloved german shepherds, and others than I am around labs and goldens, or even terriers.

panzer, I don't doubt those statistics as to the number of bites, but I would expect that the most severe bites (and deaths) occur from pits and rotties, etc. The most bites are likely to occur from the most common breeds, after all. Can't remember ever hearing of somebody killed by a lab or golden, though it may have happened.
Anyway, we live way out in the country on 40 acres. We don't have many dog problems because the problem dogs just get shot in short order
I don't automatically shoot dogs, but I don't tolerate dogs that are a threat to people or property.
We keep ours pretty close to home, but they do run loose on our land and on walks with us.

Has anyone ever known of a maddog puppy? Usually, mean and aggressive dogs are the product of human neglect or abuse.
Some breeds have developed a reputation for being naturally aggressive. Most German breeds, and others mentioned in this post. My first dog was a German Shepard, who I will never forget. One of the many memories was when I was 12. The day he put a neighbor kid, 4 years older, and 50+Lbs heavier up into the back of a pulp truck, as he threatened to kick the crap out of me. He kept him there for over an hour, until I called him off.
I'm sure everyone on this thread loves their dogs. But if I am confronted with three dogs running at me with intent in their eyes, I'm shooting first, and asking questions later.
On the other hand if panzer426's German Shepard runs up to me wagging his tail, I'd drop down on one knee, and greet him. I would hope we all would know the difference.

Bullrock, . . . I about fell out of my chair laughing when I saw your last post. Today, I went to a distant neighbor's house to check on some pups she said she had (half German Shepard, 1/4 black Lab, 1/4 golden Retriever).
She told me these puppies would be the friendliest pups on the planet.
Nobody told momma dog that she was supposed to show the friendly face for all prospective pup parents.
Remember where you wrote: "I would hope we all would know the difference."
Yeah, . . . I know the difference, . . . and for about 2 seconds in the living room there, . . . I had the distinct impression momma had me made for her new chew toy. Wasn't hard to read her intentions, . . .
Anyway, . . . y'all have a great day.
May God bless,

I used to play rugby in college until I had to quit due to a soccer injury. One of the guys on the team had a very nice pitbull, and I never saw it show aggression to anyone. Then one day, he brought it to a game. As one of the other players walked by, the dog attacked him out of the blue. The owner got him under control pretty quickly, but not before the other guy was missing a large chunk of his calf. We superglued the wound to stop the bleeding so he could play, but once the game was over he had to go get quite a few stiches at the hospital. Most pitbulls I have been around have been much less aggressive than the smaller dogs I have been around, but they have a much larger capacity for damage when they do attack. I would not hesitate to shoot, seeing what that dog did in one bite.

Going out in public with a large unleashed dog is a bit like going out in public with a semi-auto that has the mag out and the slide locked back with a range flag hanging out of it and then pointing it at folks as you walk around.
You and anyone with gun experience will be able to tell that it's not dangerous, but that doesn't mean it's OK. It's still going to scare people, and even the people who know it's really not dangerous may still be uncomfortable with you pointing it at them or others.
Besides, do you know how to tell when people are lying (usually unintentionally) about their pets (or kids)?
They start their sentence with: "My pet/kid would never..."
Animals are very complex, it is not possible to predict their behavior with 100% accuracy, nor is it possible to have 100% control over them.

with enough patience, time and training it is actually possible to predict their reactions and have 100% control over them. when I take him anywhere without a leash he is always heeling unless we are in a dog park where he is allowed to run off leash. Ive tested him with trained and experienced dog people by having them fire starter pistols right next to us while he is heeling, sitting, laying down on and off leash. I have had them come up and pretend to be attacking me, even throwing me down on the ground and sitting on top of me. he will get defensive, barking, growling but I tell him to lay down and he does it without question or hesitation. I've trained dogs for 13 years. personal dogs trained in obedience, conformation shows, schutzhund, herding, I've trained my dogs and other peoples dogs in those and agility. I've trained dogs for SAR (sorry, SAR stands for search and rescue) groups. I've trained for the military as a civilian consultant, and for police agencies. I've trained everything from german shepherds to rottweilers to golden retrievers and bloodhounds, jack russel terriers, and chihuahuas. I charge anywhere from $50 a day to $500 a day depending on what the owner wants the dog trained for. if any or all of the owner, my assistant, my wife, and/or myself dont think the dog and handler are trained to the point where the dog is 100% obedient and trustworthy in and situation possible, then I start over (some of the advanced training sessions are 30+ days long) and the owner doesnt pay me a cent. in that case I also pay them for any travelling expenses nessecary in bringing the dog to me for the training. to date I have not had to do that for a single dog/handler. if I did have to I could lose up too $30,000 (15k for the first 30 days, could be another 15k for another 30 days) and would be a deserved loss. the hardest part in training a dog, to do anything, is training the owner/handler. and making them fully aware of the potential danger in training them and there dog for certain things. sadly (from a financial stand point) I have to turn down 75-80% of the people who want me to train their dogs for them because they say or do something to make me think they WANT their dog to be dangerous. I dont train dogs to be dangerous, I train the dogs to be obediant in any situation. I dont train dogs to bite people, I train them to know when it is acceptable, and to be 100% obedient if they do mistake a situation for being an acceptable one to bite. to further show how hard I work to weed out the people who dont need a dog, let alone a dog trained in protection...I could make a decent profit training at $100 a day. but if protection is being trained it costs $500 a day. besides the higher price if you are a potential customer there is a 30 day period where you have to talk to me everyday in email and on the phone where I ask a lot of questions and expect you to ask a lot of questions too. and then the first 15 days of training I dont even think about training protection, its obedience and other things if wanted, and feeling out the dogs personality. if you want higher levels of protection, like for competition in schutzhund, or for military law enforcement then it takes more than 30 days. if at any time I decide the dog doesnt have the nerves for it, doesnt have the right personailty, or that you dont have the right desires or personality, I end the training and contact other trainers to alert them about you.
so basically, yes if you know what you are doing and know how to train the dog it absolutely is possible to train and trust a dog 100% in any situation.

Hey Dwight,
Momma must have been the 1/2 German Shepard part. Perhaps she knew you were packing, and was trying to protect her pups. NOT! Oh, that's OK, she won't hurt you...How many times have you heard that from dog owners just before beloved pet springs for your throat.
I'm glad you got away unharmed. Your distant neighbor should have known, and warned you that momma wasn't nice...Too many of us have our head in the sand regarding our pets.
Personally, I'm owned by a West Highland Terrier.

Today I thought I was gonna have to shoot a dog. Unfortunately, I was on my way home from work where I cant carry. I live in the "hood," and was almost home when this dog ran out in front of me, barking and growling. It kept in front of me, I could only go a couple miles of an hour. The people on the side of the road obviously didn't own it, as they were telling me to run it over. It was some form of pit bull mix, and was very menacing. If it had followed me all of the way home, and I had had my gun, it would be a very dead dog.

However, letting that stand for the moment, how many people in the U.S. are there who you would say qualify under your definition of "if you know what you are doing and know how to train the dog"?

ok, I should have worded that differently. I should have said 100% reliable in any conceavable day to day situation. if the earth opened up and satan stepped out I have no idea how my dog, or any dogs I've trained would react. if a 777 airliner or hercules jumbo prop plane collided with the house I dont know. and granted, the majority of the people who I train for just want obedience, they dont care if the dog will be obedient in a war/battle situation. however, if the situation is possible, any dog can be trained to be obedient in it. its just a matter of simulating it while training. so yes, I should have said my dog is garaunteed to be 100% obedient in any conceivable situation, but it IS possible to train a dog to be 100% reliable in other situations. I cant simulate a UFO beeming me up in order to train a dog to obey commands in that situation. so I'll give you that one.
as to your second question, I could list names (if I had the time and their permission) of atleast 1,000 owners in the US, and another 5-10,000 in europe who could claim 100% reliability of their dogs. and I can also promise their are another roughly 50,000 handlers among the US law enforcement agencies and military who can claim the same. I wish everyone in the US had to meet the standards for dog ownership that europeans are held too, and higher, but sadly you are correct, the vast majority of people in this world cannot make such a claim. which I guess was why I originally said that I dont blame anyone on here for honestly saying they would shoot first and deal with the consequences later. and the reason I posted about canine behaviour is so that everyone who reads it might save themselves a little trouble, and said that we should all be as responsible in this situation as with a person running towards you. what if you shoot the person and then realize he/she was running to their car, running past you, because their wife just called and said she was going into labor/husband called and said he was cleaning his shotgun and blew his foot off. you might see a dog seemingly running right for you, shoot it, then little Timmy comes around the corner behind you and you find out the dog was running past you because he just heard the kibble spill into his food dish.
I wasnt trying to start a fight, and dont want to be a part of one. I was merely informing everyone about canine behaviour and hoping that with the info I posted you might notice one of the things I mentioned and realize the dog is not charging with malicious intent, or atleast hesitate to be certain. draw your weapon, and be ready, but be certain.

I didn't see your replies as argumentative, and I appreciate the information. I'm still of the opinion that you are a bit optimistic about the reliability of trained animals, but I agree that an animal trained by an expert is a far cry from what one would expect from a typical "pet".

I still say and believe that a dogs intent is pretty easy to read. What's inside their little heads will be evident in the look on their faces, the way they carry their bodies, their behavior, etc. A dog is transparent for the most part. Perhaps a dog trained to attack a person on command would be different. Behaving more in an emotionally detatched mode, and would be therefore far more difficult to read. But, a dog like that would be an exception and not the rule. In that case, you would have twice the trouble, not only the dog, but perhaps a dangerous human being to deal with. Assuming he's sent his dog to attack you to no good end. In that case you might have to shoot the poor dog because his owner/handler is a criminal jerk and then shoot the owner for brandishing a dangerous weapon.

I think it's safe to say my only warning shot would be the one that misses.

My neighbors have 6 dogs that will bark, run, and greet anyone that comes down their long driveway on 60+ acres. Last year they were pepper sprayed by a local policeman that got out of his car and walked up to their door (wrong address and he no longer works in the area).
I did not see this, but I did see the same dogs run up and greet a 7 year old little girl who's daddy working at the barn didn't notice she had wandered off to play. The dogs ran to say their hellos and got petted by her as she came up to the house.
Some dogs will go nuts when they see someone in a uniform. When we were kids, the family poodle acted like he wanted to kill my older brother when he came home on leave. Once he changed out of his uniform the dog was back to being a foo foo.

After reading all of this, I have come to a final conclusion: I'm glad I have a cat. I don't need to worry about it ripping my neighbor to shreads, and the only death I'll have to deal with is when it dies, or when it brings those damned field mice to my door. Of course, I used to have a pretty well trained German Shepard. Thing was protective as hell, wouldn't even let my granparents come near me unless I or my parents called it off. She was one of two dogs I owned. The other was a ****zu. It was scared of my cat, and looked like a drowned rat when wet. Personally, I think you can tell when a dog is charging at you if it wants to play or if it wants to make you dinner, and my judgement call would be to put a round into it.

I have three cats. The Maine Coon would probably run in fear from an attacker (he's big and powerful when he jumps on you, problem is he'll only jump on ya to be petted!). The Russian Blue/who knows what mix would probably hiss at you and then run, and the little alley cat would probably want to cuddle! As for them charging, if you're so scared of cute little kitties that you'd put a round into them, than tisk tisk, and you PROBABLY shouldn't be carrying ANY type of weapon.
Now, as for the ferrel cat laws, mine are all indoors cats, and stick close to the house whenever they make the great escape. We had one get loose for a week (scared of cars so she'd run every time anyone would pull into the condo parking lot), so I wouldn't be too worried about THAT one. And as far as home protection goes, my little alley cat is so damn cute that a bad guy would probably get caught up in cuddle time, then BAM!!!
Seriously, anyone who lives in a neighborhood where they even remotely know their neighbors PROBABLY knows their dogs as well. I know that I could tell whether my neighbors' dogs had snapped and wanted dinner, or if they're being their normal selves and craving attention and the innevitable bit of food which I'll give them if I'm coming in from a food run...
And if you're in a strange neighborhood, or somehow your neighbor gets pissed and orders their dog to attack, then yes, defend yourself. I'm fortunate enough to live in a small town where I pretty much know everyone's habits, even if I don't know them personally. However, I realize that not everyone is so FORTUNATE as I am to be in a tiny little nowhere town where the people in the stores and such know their names. So yes, err on the side of caution if you're really not sure, then watch Animal Planet for some closure.

Hi there! On this blog I am going to make the review of Halo 4. On this blogs, I give my opinion and also rate games that I've played. Sometimes I write some game previews. Be sure to check my other blogs!
I've made a blog with my GOTY nominees, check it out here please http://www.ign.com/blogs/danyafs/2012/12/06/my-game-of-the-year-nominees
Halo 4, maybe the most anticipated game of 2012 for the Xbox 360 Console. Being one of the most famous (and one of the best) game series ever, Halo is a true masterpiece. Every non Xbox gamer wished to have Halo on their console. It never disappointed its fans, and it has been always a candidate for GOTY. Halo 4 made 220 million US$ on its launch day, and 300 million US$ on its first week. After one month, the game sold 4 million copies. Now, imagine how many copies and the quantity of money that it could made if it was multi-platform. I don't know anyone that has regretted buying Halo 4. Now let's know the reasons, shall we?
The storyline
Halo 4 is the first game of a new trilogy of the Halo franchise. The name of the new trilogy is "Reclaimer Trilogy" and it is a direct sequel to Halo 3. The game is set 4 years after of the events of Halo 3. The main character is John-117 (aka Masterchief), as he explores the shield word called Requiem. He finds out new enemies and the return of the Convenant and more Forerunners.
The gameplay
It is good in every aspect. As we all know, it is a first person shooter, and sometimes switches to use certain weapons, armor abilities and vehicles. The HUD shows real time information on the armor current shield status, weapons and armor abilities, and, of course, the mission objectives. There is a new type of enemy called the Prometheans. The weapons are updated versions of the UNSC and Covenant weaponry from the previous Halo games, but it also has some cool brand new weapons and some of them are from the Forerunners, that are used by the Prometheans. The armor abilities are making a return (they were first introduced in Halo: Reach). The ones from the previous game are active camouflage, hologram and jetpack. The new abilities are hardlight shield, thruster pack, autosentry, regeneration field and Promethean vision.
The multiplayer
So, there is the co-op mode and the multiplayer mode. I'll divide them into two categories. Let's start for the co-op mode:
Co-op - The campaign can be played alone or with a friend in split screen or up to 4 players in Xbox Live. In Halo 4, everyone will be playing as Masterchief, unlike the previous game. It can be fun if everyone helps each other! Another thing that is new, is story-driven episodic game mode, named Spartan Ops. Again, you can play it alone or with friend in split screen or up to 4 players in Xbox Live. It is like Firefight mode from Halo: Reach and Halo 3: ODST, but much better. The storyline of this game mode is set 6 months after Halo 4 campaign.
Multiplayer - The players can now build their Spartan-IV super soldier. As you go up through the ranks, you earn Spartan points (SP) to spend on new weapons, armor abilities and other stuff. When you reach rank 50, you can choose one of the eight Specializations, which will grant you more stuff to customize your Spartan. Each of the specializations have 8 unique armor enhancements. Be smart when you choose it, because you can't change your Specialization until you finish it! They are:
Wetwork (if you like to be stealthy, then choose this specialization)
Pioneer (it helps you to get XP faster. You only win the extra XP IF you're using it. Activating it at the end of the match will not yield you any extra XP)
Engineer (When ordinance drops are activated, the Engineer's Drop Recon armor mod provides an advantage. A couple extra seconds before other players see the drop coming down, the Engineer gets alerted on the incoming drop)
Tracker (When receiving an ordinance drop, you may not always find what you desire out of the three choices given to you. With the Tracker's Requisition mod, you are able to get an all new selection from the ordinance drop you call in)
Rogue (your aim becomes less "flinchy" and doesn't get throw off when scoped with a weapon)
Stalker (The Stalker packs the Nemesis armor mod, a passive skill that causes an icon of the last person that killed you to appear on the HUD, but only for five seconds after you respawn)
Pathfinder (Pathfinders enjoy the Gunner mod, which reduces the cool-down on vehicle weapon overheating and allows you to move at a normal walking pace when carrying a detached emplacement)
Operator (The Wheelman armor mod the Operator carries gives you a bit of a resistance against EMP shots against a vehicle you are driving. This also allows you to recharge the health of a vehicle slightly faster)
The graphics
Oh, the graphics. Halo 4 is soooo beautiful! The details, the realism, the ambient. It's a paradise for your eyes. The animations look like that they come from a movie. This game has some of the best graphics ever made on gaming history, a certain candidate for best graphics on a video game 2012. Here it is, some in-game pictures:
The soundtrack
I loved the music and the ambient sounds of Halo 4. They perfectly fit the theme of the game, the situations that you're in, etc. It is almost perfect. For me, the soundtrack is an extremely important component of a video game, because it gives more excitement, and sometimes, when I hear a great music from a game, I just want to play that game on that moment. Halo 4 didn't failed on that!
Closing comments and Final Rating
This is a game that everyone MUST have! One of the best games ever made, and the best installment on the Halo franchise. It is fun, the graphics are realistic, and it will consume lots of hours of your life time. But trust me, you're not going to regret the hours that you're going to spend playing Halo 4!
Presentation - 98/100. The storyline is impressive. The characters are the best part of it. I'll never forget the Halo 4 characters, they are awesome, and the storyline is touching.
Graphics - 99/100. One of the best aspects of the game. Everything looks realistic. From the most simple details to the visual realism, everything looks good. A paradise to your eyes!
Sound - 96/100. The ambient sounds are good. The music also fits the Halo 4 theme perfectly.
Gameplay - 100/100. It's the first time that I give a 100 to something on the Closing comments and Final Rating category. This game is one of the most fun games that I've ever played on my life.
Multiplayer - 98/100. The multiplayer is almost perfect. Playing on split screen with a friend, or with strangers, it is always fun. And you will want to reach rank 50, because the Halo 4 multiplayer is highly addictive.
Lasting appeal - 99/100. This game is something that will enter your favorite games list. You will want to play more, and more, and more, and... well, you might not want to stop playing it so be careful!
Final rating - 98,3/100. Epic game. No words to describe its epicness. If you have a Xbox, then buy it for Christmas. If you don't have a Xbox, but if you have the money, buy a Xbox and this game. It's worth every penny! You're not going to regret it, trust me!
What do you think of this review? Do you agree with the final rating? Do you like the Halo franchise? Let me know your opinion

A systematic review of primary health care delivery models in rural and remote Australia 1993-2006
Rural health policies over the past decade have been driven by the need to reduce health inequalities between metropolitan and rural Australia. These policies have concentrated on addressing workforce issues, targeting the medical workforce in particular. Little policy attention has focused specifically on the systematic development of sustainable comprehensive Primary Health Care (PHC) service models appropriate to rural and remote Australia. There is a need to know what model works best where, and why.

Thank you. I did not file a "motion". Or, maybe I did, but didn't know it. I submitted a document, outlining the evidence of major medical malpractice and wrongful death of the decedent, involving the Personal Representative, who was, at that time, the decedent's attorney. The judge ruled that since I had not attended the hearing, she was disregarding my objection to closing the estate, and she followed that up, by ordering the Personal Representative to proceed to close the estate.
Your answer suggested that I ought to refile my "motion", and this time attend the hearing. What hearing? It seems to me that her judgement eliminates any possibility of my refiling this same document. What basis do I have for obtaining a Hearing on this evidence, in view of her order that the estate be closed, without considering the evidence from the medical record?

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court warned again on Monday that it would not tolerate illegal detention of any person, but asked the authorities concerned to deal with delinquents strictly in accordance with the law if they were found involved in any offence against the state or the nation.
A three-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had taken an application of Omar Mahmood Wali who had been picked up in broad daylight on March 10 in the presence of his family.
At the last hearing, his counsel had alleged that the only crime of 24-year-old Omar was that he was supplying food to demonstrators demanding recovery of missing persons in Islamabad.
On Monday, Islamabad Inspector General Bani Amin Khan informed the court that Omar Mahmood Wali had returned home on March 16 because of the steps taken for his recovery.
He admitted that "agencies had abducted the man", but when the court asked if he had contacted the Punjab IG, he said he had contacted the Inter-services Intelligence. When asked who was involved in the abduction, he simply said he had contacted all three agencies -- ISI, Military Intelligence and Intelligence Bureau. However, IG Amin said that since an FIR had been registered and the incident was being investigated he was not in a position at this stage to ascertain the involvement of any of the three agencies.
Omar Wali who appeared before the court, along with his father Mahmood Ahmad Khan, also declined to name the abductors.
He only said he was not in a position to identify them. He said he had been interrogated for six days.
The court asked Attorney General Maulvi Anwarul Haq to communicate to all concerned that it was the duty of the state to protect the life and liberty of its citizens.
"Undoubtedly, in the instant case, Omar has been recovered because of police efforts, but the question arises how long such exercise will continue. If involved in any offence against the state or the nation, the culprit deserves no leniency but should be dealt with in terms of Article 10A of the Constitution.
"Under Article 9 of the Constitution, it is the fundamental right of every citizen of Pakistan that he shall not be deprived of life and liberty," the court said.
The court told the IGP that this was not for the first time; rather time and again this court had been making it clear that without registration of a case, the detention of a person would be illegal. "Therefore, keeping Omar in detention for six days prima facie has no justification," the court said.

The code will be branched to pts-iveland in the Git repository later today and then work on Phoronix Test Suite 3.2-Grimstad will get under-way shortly.
