Saudi and RIM in Talks to Avoid Prohibition of Blackberry Handsets in the Nation
Saudi Arabia is deeming to put a prohibition on the usage of Blackberry phones, as it believes that the message service is encrypted, and therefore, cannot be supervised. According to a source aware of the matter, the two Companies are in discussions to resolve the dispute regarding the gadget's encrypted network.
The Governments seek access to these encrypted messages, and the method to decrypt them so as to deal with terrorism and criminal actions.
It is reported that Canada is also in talks with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, as a ban on the device would adversely affect the expansion of RIM, which is the nation's major tech export.
The source told Reuters, "RIM showed on Thursday a degree of flexibility that has not been there over the past three months. Progress is being made. We started debating the technicalities of new setups".
Meanwhile, a number of analysts are of the opinion that what the Governments are asking is not that easy to provide.
Kevin Restivo, a senior cell phone analyst at IDC said that the Government's expectations are impractical and it is difficult to sustain this type of control in the long run.
Latest reports reveal that Algeria has also joined the horde to examine BlackBerry handsets.

Newbie question: updating prices
- Join Date

Hi all,
Sorry for the basic question. I'll start basic and then specific.
Are datafeeds used for updating information or just initial product loads?
I'm investigating software to use for a new site. The site will have specific products from specific merchants. Right now I'm considering Joomla and maybe CMS Shopbuilder add-in. It's not clear from this configuration, or any other, if it has the ability to update product information, such as prices, or if it becomes static once products are loaded the first time.
Any other suggestions for a site of this type, where selected products are listed and require update.
Thanks for any help.
July 18th, 2010, 09:27 AM #2
you'll find that products can appear and disappear rather quickly in some datafeeds. people usually refresh their datafed pages on a regular basis because of that.
you should a/b test pages to see if the click-through rate changes when you show/don't show prices.
sorry, I don't have any experience with CMS software.
Welcome to ABW!

I start off scripting this report in the comfortable cocoon of The Private Room in Changi T3
A business trip to Singapore afforded me a chance to make use of the highly attractive FEZSQ RTW fares in F. Love the flexibility of these fares and the fact that they work out almost the same as J class fares from SFO to Asia make this an obvious choice!
My routing was SFO-IAH (booked seperately on CO), followed by the IAH-DME-SIN. Unfortunately, I was too tired on the inbound sectors to do a TR, so this report focuses on my return flight from SIN to SFO.
Terminal 3 & Check-in Experience :
I've flown through this Terminal umpteen times since it opened in 2008 and yet each time I am constantly pleasantly surprised by it! Only in a very small handful of international airports can you have an exceptional experience that injects spice and fantasy into the experience of flight - Changi ranks top on that list for me.
View of the Terminal 3 building
SQ uses a seperate check-in area for it's F passengers. This is a secluded section behind Row 1 in T3 with it's own dedicated immigration/passport control desk. As you come into the airport you get to pull up into the F check-in curb where porters are on hand to assist with baggage
|F checkin entrance

The check-in area resembles the lobby of a 5 star hotel with chairs and sofas to relax in as your check-in formalities are processed.

The Private Room
Next came the lounge experience. After passing through immigration you enter the main transit hall right infront of the escalators that lead up to the SKL. That's a big plus in terms of saving walking time from the main departure control area. The SKL itself is open only to F and J class passengers (or QPPS members) and offers a relaxing environment to unwind before the flight.
|F Section
The Private Room is an invitation only section of the SKL for F passengers only. I found the environment to be a club style lounge with oversized club chairs and sofa sections. I didn't find the experience too thrilling as there was nothing truly "exclusive" about it. Ofcourse, it does have it's own dining section where you can order from a set menu which is nice

Ray Dedrick says when he recently signed a power of attorney form, it felt like he was signing his life away. That sheet of paper allows his wife Tee to make decisions on his behalf when he is no longer able to.
They know that day is coming because Ray has Alzheimer's disease.
"This past year he's gotten progressively worse," said Tee. "The reality is, how much longer does he have? I don't know."
PREVIOUS: Living with Alzheimer's: A personal journey begins
Tee is Ray's primary caregiver. She takes him to every doctor's appointment. She carefully doles out his many medicines each day. And she always keeps a calendar nearby to cross out the days of the week. She says Ray gets confused as to what day and time it is.
Ray recounts a day he woke up from sleeping on the couch. "It just threw it all for a loop," he said. "I didn't know if it was Friday, Sunday, Saturday or if it was morning or night.
The calendar also reminds Ray when Tee is at work. She runs a catering and cookie company, and also cooks for her church family on Wednesday nights. She is the sole provider for the family.
PREVIOUS: Living with Alzheimer's: Passing the baton
"I do worry about what we are going to do when he gets to the point that he can't stay by himself. If I have to stay home, is that an option?" she said. "Right now, it's not, financially. That's not an option."
Tee said she can't help but notice how Alzheimer's is altering Ray's personality. She said he gets more aggravated these days and can be sharp with his words.
"Not everything comes out the way he intends to say it," she said.
PREVIOUS: Living with Alzheimer's: Fading memories
But she knows it's not really Ray speaking. It's the cruel disease that's slowly stealing her soul mate.
"There are days you have pity parties and days you pull up your bootstraps and go you just got to get it done," she said.
Tee said it's important for caregivers to find opportunities to take a break, even if it's just to grab lunch with a friend. She highly recommends those caring for people with Alzheimer's to attend a coping workshop offered by Alzheimer's Tennessee. The next class is March 21.

Yankees refute report that Alex Rodriguez was granted permission to skip team's trip to Houston
It's only fitting that Alex Rodriguez's tumultuous season faced another controversy heading into the final weekend.
A spokesman for Rodriguez, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and Yankees manager Joe Girardi all refuted a New York Daily News report Thursday that Rodriguez had been granted permission to skip the final series of the season in Houston this weekend to prepare for Monday's arbitration hearing to appeal his 211-game suspension.
Rodriguez was not available to reporters before last night's home finale against the Rays.
"We know nothing about that," Girardi said. "I know some reports came out, but we expect him to be there. He does not have permission not to be there."
Girardi said Rodriguez was not in the lineup last night because he had asked out of Wednesday's game because of lingering leg pain.
No Mo . . . no Joe?
With so much focus on Mariano Rivera's final game at Yankee Stadium, it had been mostly overlooked that last night could have been Girardi's final game in the home dugout. The manager's contract is up after the season and there are reports that his hometown Chicago Cubs and the Washington Nationals are interested.
The Yankees want Girardi back, but he declined to tip his hand about his future when given the opportunity.
"That's something for the offseason," Girardi said before the game. "Let's get through these four days and then I can maybe start to address those questions. I've said many times, I've really enjoyed being here as a manager, a coach, a player, a broadcaster. I've loved my time here. But that's not something that is handled in-season and I'll wait until the offseason."
Pettitte pitches tomorrow
Girardi adjusted the pitching rotation for the final series. Andy Pettitte will receive an extra day of rest before making the final start of his career Saturday. Girardi has yet to name starters for Friday night or the season finale on Sunday.

There is an increased prevalence of imprinting disorders, such as Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome, associated with human assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Work on animal models suggests that in vitro culture may be the source of these imprinting errors. However, in this study we report that, in some cases, the errors are inherited from the father. We analyzed DNA methylation at seven autosomal imprinted loci and the XIST locus in 78 paired DNA samples. In seven out of seventeen cases where there was abnormal DNA methylation in the ART sample (41%), the identical alterations were present in the parental sperm. Furthermore, we also identified DNA sequence variations in the gene encoding DNMT3L, which were associated with the abnormal paternal DNA methylation. Both the imprinting errors and the DNA sequence variants were more prevalent in patients with oligospermia. Our data suggest that the increase in the incidence of imprinting disorders in individuals born by ART may be due, in some cases, to the use of sperm with intrinsic imprinting mutations.
Recent studies have identified an increased incidence of the normally rare imprinting disorders, Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS; NIM130650) and Angelman syndrome (AS; NIM105830), in babies conceived after assisted conceptions.1, 2, 3 Epigenetic marks acquired in the germ line drive the allele-specific expression of specific 'imprinted' genes in the embryo.4, 5, 6 One of the best studied epigenetic marks is DNA methylation which is found associated with only one parental allele within discrete locations known as differentially methylated regions (DMRs).4 The identification of epigenetic changes at imprinted loci in assisted reproductive technology (ART) infants has led to the suggestion that the technique itself may predispose embryos to acquire imprinting errors.1, 2, 3 Both in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are associated with the increased risk of imprinting disorders and it is not clear at what point these imprinting errors arise.7, 8
Major epigenetic events take place during both germ cell development and the preimplantation stages of embryonic development.9 In vitro culture may expose the genome to environmental factors that prevent the proper establishment of the imprint. However, the risks cannot easily be evaluated for ART treatment because patients who receive ART treatment may differ both demographically and genetically from the general population.
In mice, the de novo DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a and the accessory protein DNA methyltransferase 3-like protein (Dnmt3L) are key regulators of DNA methylation co-operating to de novo methylate DNA in the germ line with Dnmt3L functioning to activate the DNA methyltransferase and recognize the target sequence based on nucleosome modification and CpG spacing.10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 Female mice that lack either Dnmt3a or Dnmt3L are fertile but their heterozygous progeny lacks the maternal imprint and the mice die before mid-gestation. Male mice that lack these methylases are infertile and oligospermic.12
We, and others, previously demonstrated that methylation errors are present at imprinted loci in the sperm of infertile men, particularly those with oligospermia.18, 19 In this new study, we examined the methylation profile of seven autosomal imprinted genes (H19, GTL2, PEG1, KCNQ1OT1, ZAC, PEG3 and SNRPN) and the X-linked XIST gene in DNA obtained from ART conceptuses and matched parental sperm to determine whether these alterations were inherited.
A total of 78 aborted samples, ranging from 6 to 9 weeks gestation (mean 7 weeks and 3 days) were obtained after treatment by ART (IVF and ICSI) after ethics committee approval and written informed consent. Trophoblastic villi were dissected away from decidual tissues and washed repeatedly with the saline solution to avoid maternal contamination. A total of 38 non-ART aborted conceptus samples, ranging from 6 to 8 weeks gestation (mean 7 weeks and 5 days) were used as controls. Parental sperm and genomic DNA were prepared as described previously.19
Methylation assays were performed using combined bisulfite PCR restriction analysis (COBRA) and bisulfite sequencing.19 Seven autosomal imprinted genes (H19, GTL2, PEG1, KCNQ1OT1, ZAC, PEG3 and SNRPN), the XIST gene and the repetitive sequences (long interspersed nucleotide elements (LINE1) and Alu) were analyzed as described previously.19, 20 Each DNA sample was treated with sodium bisulfite using the EZ methylation kit (Zymo Research, Orange, CA, USA) and amplified by PCR. Restriction enzymes were as follows: H19, TaqI; GTL2, TaqI; PEG1, Sau3AI; KCNQ1OT1, RsaI; ZAC, RsaI; PEG3, HinfI; SNRPN, BsiEI; XIST, TaiI; Alu, MboI and LINE1, HinfI. Digested samples were resolved on 10% polyacrylamide gels and/or 3% agarose gels. Ethidium bromide-stained bands were quantified with a VersaDoc 5000 and Quantity One software (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and percentage of methylated restriction enzyme sites in each genomic sample was calculated from the ratio between the enzyme-cleaved PCR product and the total amount of PCR product. PCR products were purified, cloned into pGEM-T (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and an average of 20 clones per individual sequenced using M13 reverse primer and an automated ABI Prism 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Foster city, CA, USA). Sodium modification treatments were carried out in duplicate for each DNA sample and at least three independent amplification experiments were performed for each individual examined.
Chromosomal compliment was determined by FISH using multicolored and chromosome-specific probes. Cases of chromosomal number abnormalities, deletion and duplication were omitted. XY karyotypes were determined by the DNA amplification for X- (DMD gene) and Y- (SRY gene) chromosome-specific sequences as described.21
Histological examination (hematoxylin and eosin) was performed to confirm the diagnosis of the abortion except in the case of trophoblastic neoplasia.
Mutation analyses of DNMT3A and DNMT3L were performed using the DNA obtained from the male patient's blood. Differences in migration were initially identified by PCR and single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analyses.22 Primers used for the amplification and sequencing of DNMT3A and DNMT3L are shown in Supplementary Table. Sequence alterations were identified by direct cycle sequencing using BigDye fluorescent terminators and the ABI sequencer (Applied Biosystems).
We first examined the methylation status of seven imprinted loci and the XIST DMR in DNA samples prepared from 78 XY karyotyped ART conceptuses and 38 non-ART conceptuses using COBRA (Figure 1a and b). In women, the XIST DMR is DNA methylated on one X chromosome whereas the other chromosome is unmethylated. In men, who have only one X chromosome, the single locus is normally methylated. Abnormal methylation was taken as being over the range of ±2SD (standard deviations) of the mean of the methylation in the normal fertilization products. Among the 78 ART-treated cases, we found 8 cases of aberrant paternal methylation (H19, 6 cases; GTL2, 2 cases; Table 1). We confirmed the results of the COBRA assay by sequencing (Figure 2). We examined global DNA methylation of the non-imprinted repetitive elements Alu and LINE1. There were no detectable differences between ART and normal samples (Table 1; Figure 1c). Loss of DNA methylation was specific to the imprinted loci.
We found 12 cases of aberrant maternal methylation in the ART samples (PEG1, 1 case; KCNQ1OT1, 4 cases; ZAC, 1 case; PEG3, 1 case; XIST, 5 cases; Table 1). The methylation errors were predominantly found at the H19 and KCNQ1OT1 DMRs, which commonly show alterations in DNA methylation in BWS patients. Five cases with an XX female karyotype were found with a methylation defect at the XIST locus but not at the autosomal DMRs. No samples showed complete imprint erasure.
In total, we identified 17 fetal samples with imprint methylation errors. Among them, a completely unmethylated pattern at a single locus was found in 14 cases and a mosaic pattern of aberrant methylation was identified at more than one loci in 3 cases.
Seven cases (21.8%) were the products of fertilization by ICSI, four cases (26.6%) were the products of IVF, two cases (11.8%) were involved a cryopreserved embryo and three cases (13.0%) were involved artificial insemination with husband's sperm (AIH). We also identified errors in three samples from our control group. We identified methylation errors in both the ICSI/IVF (n=39) and non-ICSI/IVF (n=39) groups indicating that ICSI was not responsible for these changes. There was no significant difference in the maternal ages between the ICSI/IVF and non-ICSI/IVF groups; 34.3±4.3 and 35.0±3.7 years old, respectively.
We compared the quality of the parental sperm sample in the 17 cases where we identified imprinting errors. Seven samples were severely oligospermic (50.0%), four showed moderate oligospermia (25.0%) and six appeared normal (8.6%). There was an increased frequency in visible sperm abnormalities in the father associated with imprint errors in the conceptuses in line with our previous findings.19
Using DNA polymorphisms at the H19 and GTL2 loci, we found seven cases where the precise DNA methylation error was present in the father sperm and the conceptuses (Table 1; Figure 2), suggesting that the methylation errors were preexisting and not a consequence of the ART. We also identified four sperm samples (cases 13, 50, 53 and 70) that showed abnormal DNA methylation that was not present in the conceptus.
The consequences of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3L deficiency in mice are loss of imprints and oligospermia, so we next examined 136 infertile men for gene mutations using SSCP and DNA sequencing. This group included the 7 male patients with an abnormal imprint in both the conceptuses and the sperm, 24 patients for which we previously reported an abnormal sperm imprint19 and an additional 105 patients who had undergone some fertility treatment where we had not identified a difference in DNA methylation. Of these, 27 had severe oligospermia, 30 had moderate oligospermia and 79 appeared normal.
We identified two sequence differences in DNMT3L that were predicted to alter the amino-acid sequence, one within exon 2 and one within the methylation enzyme activation motif IV in exon 10 (Table 2). The individual homozygous for the exon 2 polymorphism (518G/G) had DNA methylation errors at H19 and GTL2 and moderate oligospermia. Three heterozygous individuals (518G/A) showed normal methylation although one had severe oligospermia. Two individuals homozygous for the exon 10 alteration (1316G/G) had aberrant methylation of paternal and maternal imprinted loci and severe oligospermia. Of the twelve individuals that were heterozygous for this polymorphism (1316G/A), four showed abnormal methylation whereas eight appeared normal. They all had normal sperm or only moderate oligospermia.
We also identified sequence differences that were predicted to result in nonsense mutations. One was a 787C to T conversion in exon 5 located in the PHD domain. Six individuals homozygous for this alteration had abnormal methylation at some paternal and maternal loci and four also had severe oligospermia. The three heterozygous individuals had normal-appearing sperm and no detectable methylation errors. One individual homozygous for a nonsense variant (937C–T) in exon 6, also located in a PHD domain, had abnormal methylation at PEG3 in his sperm and three of the eleven individuals heterozygous for this sequence alteration had abnormally methylated sperm but none had oligospermia.
Of the seven male patients with an abnormal imprint in both the ART conceptuses and the sperm, two cases had variations in DNMT3L (case 50, 787C/C in exon 5 and case 28, 518G/G in exon 2), which could suggest that these variants affect the function of DNMT3L.
We identified three types of DNMT3A sequence alterations but these did not correlate with either an abnormal imprint or abnormalities in the number of sperm (Table 2).
In conclusion, we report seven cases where imprinting mutations in ART conceptuses match those present in the parental sperm and in two of these cases, the father also carried an alteration in the sequence of the DNMT3L gene. These findings suggest that the increased prevalence of imprinting disorders linked to ART does not originate solely through the process of ART but, in a significant number of cases, these alterations in DNA methylation preexist in the father's germ line. We may be selecting these cases because they are also linked with a low sperm count.
Although it is clear that the in vitro culture of gametes can result in the altered regulation of imprinted genes, in this study we have identified another source of imprinting errors in ART, direct inheritance from the father's sperm. We found 17 of 78 ART samples (21.8%) that showed abnormal DNA methylation at one or more than one imprinted loci. Although some of the imprinting errors we identified may have occurred during the process of ART, we identified seven cases where the same imprinting errors were present in the parental sperm and the matched ART sample, suggesting that abnormal hypomethylation at H19 and GTL2 was transmitted directly from the father's sperm. Loss of a paternal methylation imprint cannot account for an increased prevalence of BWS or AS in ART children as these arise from loss of the maternal imprint but could account for the increased frequency of syndromes such as SRS.23, 24, 25 Given the known role of imprinted genes in regulating embryonic and extraembryonic growth (MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit, Harwell UK, URL: http://www.mgu.har.mrc.ac.uk/research/imprinting/function.html), the increased frequency of low birth weight in ART infants may also be due to alterations at imprinted loci although such changes have not, as yet, been reported.26 Other obstetric complications are frequently linked to ART such as miscarriage, placental dysfunction, premature labor, placenta previa and maternal hypertension.27, 28, 29, 30, 31 These may also reflect accumulated small changes in DNA methylation at imprinted loci.
We identified some samples that showed both paternal and maternal methylation errors. This could suggest a more wide-ranging defect in recognizing or maintaining appropriate methylation in the early conceptus. In this respect, our observation that there are alterations in the DNMT3L gene linked to infertility and alteration in DNA methylation is intriguing. The existence of heterozygous cases and the fact that we only observe the partial loss of imprints could suggest haploinsufficiency or a dominant-negative function either in the developing sperm and/or in the early embryo. Alternatively, the sequence alterations in DNMT3L result in an altered specificity rather than loss of function, which could account for the hypomethylation of two paternal DMRs and gain of a maternal DMR methylation that we observed in sperm DNA of patient 28. In addition, two ART fetuses (cases 23 and 57) showed hypomethylation of both a paternal and a maternal DMR, which might also suggest a problem with the identification of the target sequence. It will clearly be important to test this hypothesis by asking whether the sequence alterations we have identified result in aberrant function in vitro.
In all cases, the global methylation status of our samples was not detectably altered suggesting that the DNA methylation marks at imprinted loci are more readily altered. There also appeared to be differences in the vulnerability of different DMRs to alteration. It has been shown that the short tandem repeat elements within the DMRs of some imprinted genes are important for imprinting.32 The degree to which imprinted genes are repeat-like may be a factor in determining their methylation status and we are extending our current work to other DNA methylated loci to further investigate this possibility.
In a few cases, the methylation abnormalities in the sperm were not present in the ART conceptus suggesting that either the parental sperm is mosaic for the methylation errors or that remodeling of DNA methylation can occur after fertilization. Nutrients, including methyl substrates such as vitamin B6 and folic acid, influence DNA methylation and histone modification at gene promoters and this approach has already been applied to treat autism.33 Imprinting errors in sperm at the paternally methylated DMRs may be reversed using a similar approach.
As a result of our studies and the work of others in this area, we recommend that imprint methylation analyses be added to the routine sperm examination to identify preexisting imprint mutations. The relative ease of COBRA would make this approach feasible within a clinical setting and substantially reduce the likelihood of abnormal samples being used in ART. Altered expression and methylation of imprinted genes is a frequent event in cancer34 and it will be important to also determine the frequency of cancer occurrence in ART offspring. A retrospective examination of imprinted loci and the constitution of children born after each ART method will reveal the safest and most ethical approach to use, which will be invaluable for the future development of standard ART treatments.

Picture: Gucci Mane - Celebrities outside the 'Spring Breakers' after party at the Emerson Theatre - Los Angeles, California, United States - Thursday 14th March 2013
Rapper Gucci Mane has been sentenced to serve two years behind bars after reaching a plea deal in his gun possession case.
The Icy hitmaker, real name Radric Davis, pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon on Tuesday (13May14), in relation to two separate incidents in September (13), when cops found Davis, who was a felon at the time, in possession of a firearm and marijuana.
The charge carried a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, but he's only expected to receive 39 months - minus 10 months credit for time served - under the plea deal, according to Tmz.com.
Davis, who has been behind bars since September (13), will be officially sentenced in July (14).

The Pearl Harbor cocktail is one of the easiest drinks to make. This fruity and tropical tasting drink is sure to wow your friends and have them begging for the recipe. No one is quite sure where the name came from, though some believe it may have been created near Pearl Harbor. Others believe the name describes the exotic location of Pearl Harbor. In either account the drink is delicious and easy to make and serve at parties.
Fill your shot glass half full with the melon flavored liqueur, approximately one-half of an ounce and add it to a glass filled with ice. The alcohol will settle in the middle of the glass, but don't worry because you'll be stirring it later.
Add one shot of (one ounce) of the alcohol. This will likely settle in the middle or sides of the glass as well.
Pour the pineapple juice over the alcohol until it fills the glass. Depending on the size of the glass you use, this will be 4-8 ounces of pineapple juice.
Stir the ingredients vigorously until well combined. The drink should be pale yellow if you've stirred it correctly.
Garnish with a piece of pineapple and one cherry if you like. Some recipes omit the garnish, but most bartenders serve it with a piece or two of fruit.
For a more festive look, add cherries and pineapple pieces to your ice cube trays before adding water. One your ice cubes come out, they'll have the fruit inside. This is great for parties and it gives guests something extra to nibble on.
Make a Bloody Pearl Harbor by swapping the pineapple juice and melon liqueur for tomato or vegetable juice and coconut rum. Follow the same recipe here using the new ingredients.

The Prague Summer Theatre School
Rainier Poppink
I am from the Netherlands. During an experimental period (exploring, travelling) in my life in 2010, I attended the Prague Summer Theatre School. It was interesting to discover more about the phenomenon called '(Inter)acting with the Inner Partner'. This was a valuable and unforgettable experience, which is hard for me to describe in words. I practiced gymnastics until my teens so I also very much enjoyed applying this in a theatrical way during the contact improvisation and mime courses at the PSTS. After the PSTS, I got a place as an actor in a sailing theatre group (Chyba! Odkaz není platný.* until 2012. Currently I am part of another theatre group. I am completing my degree in psychology at the University of Groningen. Theatre has always been some sort of compass in my life. I hope to be able to bridge it with psychological knowledge.

I woke up on Monday (5/26) at 5am having contractions about every 10 minutes. I knew this was "it" because the contractions felt very different than the BHs I had been having for months. I tried to stay standing or walking to get them to pick up because I really didnt want them to stop. I was already 5 days overdue and ready to get things moving. I woke up Shea about 8am because I was really just excited that today was going to be the day. (He didnt believe me when I told him today was it). The contractions had started coming about every 7 minutes at this point. I was still feeling good walking around the house and sitting on the birth ball. Whenever I would sit or lay down they would space way out so I walked and walked and walked.
Around 10 I decided to call the midwife and let her know what was going on. She told me to call back in an hour because I still sounded pretty comfortable. Even though the contractions were now about 3-4 minutes apart and lasting about a minute I was able to deal with them just fine. I thought things would be picking up pretty quick but I was wrong. The contractions stayed coming this way as long as I was standing or walking. Whenever I would sit down they would start spacing back out. I knew baby was still high so I started squatting a bunch and using the birth ball. We called MIL/FIL to come and get the girls because I really wanted to concentrate on these contractions. I started leaking what I thought was my fluid so I called the midwife back to let her know. She told me to go ahead and come in and get checked.
When we got there she checked me and I was 3 cm dialated and about 80% effaced. My waters were still intact but she said I was leaking a bunch of cervical mucous. The Friday before I was barely 1 cm dialated and not effaced at all so she was convinced this was it. She sent us to the mall to walk for 2 hours and then told us to come back. Walking at the mall didnt really help much. It was memorial day and everyone was off work and shopping so I felt really tense and uncomfortable walking through the mall with contractions. We went back in 2 hours later at 3 pm and I was dialated to a 4. Slightly discouraging but I figured as much since I was so uncomfortable at the mall. I was GBS positive so I got my first dose of antibiotics and walked around outside. Unfortunately whenever I would sit down my contractions would slow way down so I still had to keep walking. My feet were killing me at this point but Shea and I kept walking. An hour later I was at 5cm. I tried a breastpump to see if I could get the contractions to pickup but nothing was really working so I kept walking and squatting and walking and squatting. At 7pm I got my last dose of antibiotics and we decided to go ahead and break my waters since I was 7cm dialated and getting really tired.
I got in the birth tub afterwards and thats when I finally started having real contractions. These were still spaced a few minutes apart but were hard to deal with. I felt like I needed to go to the bathroom and everyone thought I needed to push but I really needed to go to the bathroom. So up we went. I started screaming for help after a couple of minutes because I could not deal with the contractions on the toilet. We got into the bed and she said I was 8 cm. At this point I was flopping around on the bed like a fish out of water. I had completely lost my focus and what I needed to deal with the contractions. I started screaming for medications and everyone kept telling me to try to push. The midwife said she was moving the rest of my cervix out of the way. I couldnt get ahold of myself long enough to push. I started getting embarassed that I couldnt deal with the contractions anymore. I needed to have a bowel movement and they told me to just go ahead. It was kind of embarassing but I was not going back to the toilet and I knew I needed to go. I had lost all focus now. I was not prepared to deal with contractions this strong. Everyone was just looking at me and there was nothing they could do to help.
Finally the midwife told me that the babys heart rate was dropping from being in the birth canal so long and that I needed to get her out now. My mom grabbed my face and told me to push her out now. So I ended up with my legs being held in the air and I was pushing so hard. I never got that urge to push. So I just pushed everytime I took a breath. They were telling me to wait for a contraction to push but I couldnt even feel when I was having a contraction. It all felt like one really long contraction. Shea kept trying to encourage me by saying he saw her head and it was full of black hair. He kept saying that I was so close. I was screaming so loud and the birth assistant was trying to get me to redirect my energy to pushing but screaming actually made me feel better and I dont think I could have stopped if I wanted to. Shea was suppose to catch her but the midwife soon found her shoulders were stuck and had to maneuver her out. At this point I had quit screaming and was working on pushing. My mom said she was pulling really hard on her and blood was pouring out everywhere. My mom actually lost her balance and my sister had to catch her. Shea said he was starting to cry. I honestly didnt know what was going on because I was working so hard on pushing. When her body finally slid out it was such a relief and thats when I saw how blue she was. I held my arms out but the midwife held on to her and kept rubbing her back and face with a towel to stimulate her to breathe. She let out a little whimper and they were satisfied and handed her to me. She was born at 8:14pm so I really didnt spend that long pushing. (Shea said about 20 minutes.) She was 8 pounds 7 ounces 20 inches long with a 14 inch head. (When her head popped out the midwife said "somebody ate too many pancakes" LOL).
Emme's birth was scary towards the end but Im still glad I had a natural childbirth. I feel I gave her the best start in life that I could. She was so alert all night long (LOL) until the next day and was breastfeeding within the first hour of her life. We went home about 3 hours after she was born and piled into bed. I couldnt stop staring at her she was and is so beautiful. My little Emme Claire.

Not for rough usage
User review on Volkswagen Polo written by Augustine on 25 May 2015
Augustine's review on Volkswagen Polo GT TDI
Year of Manufacture : 2014 | Driven no. of Kms. : 5500
- Pros: Stylish car for city and highway driving. Loaded with intelligent features.
- Cons: Maintenance cost is high
I have driven this car for more than 5,000KMS. It's a very good premium car one can get. If you are using regularly in City and driving in highway roads then its can get you best of the world car experience. When it comes to driving in rough road conditions and village roads loaded with pot holes then you will start to feel the discomfort. One thing is about not so great ground clearance and other thig is about cost of spares and availability of service centers. I have gone through such toug times when it broke down in a remote area and we struggeled a lot oforgetting it to authorised service center in City.If it was a Maruti Suzuki or Tata Motors vehicle, we could have surely got faster assistance. Inmy views, if you are going to use it in very good road conditions, you will really enjoy the comfort and advanced features. For rough usage, better avoid it.

Mariska Hargitay has returned to the Law & Order: SVU set, two weeks after news broke that the actress had suffered a partially collapsed lung.
"She's back at work," her rep confirms. A rep for the production company also confirmed that Hargitay was on SVU's set as of Monday afternoon.
Hargitay's absence caused filming to cease last week, according to sources. Although she was nominated for both a Golden Globe and a SAG award for her role as Det. Olivia Benson, Hargitay was absent from both of those awards ceremonies this month.
Hargitay, 45, has not released any information about what may have caused her partial lung collapse.

1889 Ellen Watson and Jim Averell hung by area ranchers in the region of the Sweetwater River. This event has been one of the most enduring controversial in Wyoming's history, with many different variants of it having been written. There are now so many variants, that sorting out the true reasons that Ellen "Cattle Kate" Watson and Jim Averell is now nearly impossible. It can't even be fully determined if Watson and Averell were married, which they might have been (they did take out a marriage license) or if Watson was a prostitute who took payment in cattle, which she might have been.
The murder is often placed in the context of the Johnson County War, where it doesn't properly belong.
It should be noted that this event is probably subject to more interpretation, evolution, and revision than any other single event in Wyoming's history, much of it quite recent. For much of the 20th Century Ellen Watson and Jim Averell were regarded as victims of an unwarranted extrajudicial lynching, but not as totally innocent characters. The generally accepted view, for many decades (and I believe the one that is recounted in the the excellent "War On Powder River", is that Watson was a prostitute (which does not preclude her being married to Averell) and that she took payment in cattle, if no other currency was available. This got her into trouble with area ranchers, this thesis maintains, as the cattle were often stolen by the cowhands who paid for her services. Averell, according to this view, lost his life essentially for living with her and benefiting from her activities.
More recently, however, there have been serious, and not always entirely grounded, efforts to revive her reputation and there have even been those who have viewed her as an early feminist businesswoman, with a wholly legitimate business activity, who was murdered simply for being a self assertive woman. Frankly, that doesn't wash, and independent Frontier women were not really novel. A more serious revisionist view holds that Averell and Watson were small time homesteaders who were trespassing on the lands that were controlled by rancher Albert Bothwell. It may be that there is some truth to this view, which might also explain why the marriage, or lack thereof, of Averell was either not completed (a serious crime at that time) or kept secret, as it would have allowed both Averll and Watson to file separate homesteads.
Of course, it may be that both the earlier accepted version of events or the standard revisionist views are correct. Watson and Averell were homestead entrants and that may have seriously irritated Bothwell and his companions, and Watson might also have been a prostitute. The vast expanse of time that has gone by since this 1889 event effectively means that the truth will never be really known now. What is undoubted is that Watson was the only woman ever lynched in Wyoming, and none of the perpetrators of the act made any effort to keep the deed secret. One even rode into Casper shortly after the news broke on the story, admitted his role, and was basically left alone.
Ellen Watson.
1903 The Ford Motor Company shipped its first car.
1917 The U.S. World War I draft lottery began.
As can be seen, the papers published the name of the men selected right on the front page.
In some counties, however, the draft proved unnecessary as the counties had already filled their quotas, which were apparently on a county by county basis, through volunteers.

There is no denying the Lib Dems do their best to keep everyone informed, with websites like this, Focus Newsletters, Twitter and Facebook. But we are not the richest party – by far! Unlike the other main political parties we do not receive substantial funding from big business or the trade unions. Every so often we need to raise funds just to keep the 'wolf from the door'. At the moment we are selling Lib Dem Christmas Draw tickets. They come in books of five, each ticket costs £1.00, so five pounds the book. There are 30 prizes including a £2,000 holiday voucher and half a case of champagne. To purchase tickets please send a cheque made out to 'Rayleigh / Castle Point Constituencies Liberal Democrats' (that is Democrats with an 's'), please send it to Rayleigh Lib Dems, 22 Beech Avenue, Rayleigh, Essex, SS6 8AE, together with a stamped self addressed envelope.

Farron seizes the centre
Tim Farron, speaking at the Lib Dem conference, made a play to woo Labour voters to switch allegiance to the Liberal Democrats to provide a 'strong opposition' to the Tories.
The Lib Dem leader praised some of the policies of the ex-prime minister Tony Blair, saying Labour has 'left the stage' under Jeremy Corbyn.
He said his party would raise taxes to save the NHS to 'give people the care and treatment they deserve'.
Recalling his own experience of battling for a better home for his grandfather, who had Alzheimer's, he called for a merger of the NHS and care service to stop 'people slipping through the net'.
And Mr Farron also called for a referendum on the Brexit deal the government strikes, so voters can see what leaving the EU would actually mean for Britain.
Making a pitch for moderate Labour voters, he said the Lib Dems were the only party that could stop Theresa May winning a majority at the next election.
He said despite opposing Mr Blair on Iraq he 'admired' him for investing in the NHS, new schools and creating a minimum wage.
'I admire him for those things' he said before joking: 'I see Tony Blair the way I see The Stone Roses – I preferred his early work'.
What made you join?
Lots of new members sign up for the Liberal Democrats. Would you like to know more? Would you like to join?
The local Lib Dems have benefitted from several membership 'surges', one after the dreadful 2015 General Election and again after the Brexit vote. But we are still very keen to hear from you. We want to hear from all our supporters, from those who are able to help in even the smallest way and of course we would welcome new members.
Here are some of the reasons why other new members joined:
Ivan Massow
Entrepreneur and founder of www.equal.london
I'd been in the Conservatives since I was 14, but moved over to the Lib Dems early this year. It's the second time I've left the Tories – the first was to try and force the party to become more centre-ground, and I knew that my leaving would make the headlines. This time I moved over quietly. I had no particular axe to grind with the Conservatives, but felt that my work to bring them more central was done, and that I could walk away and be a member of a party that is more relevant to my sensibilities.
After seeing the Lib Dems work in Coalition, and seeing them step up to the responsibilities of government. I felt I had more in common with them. I hadn't realised the Lib Dems could be a party of government before the coalition – and I know they took a huge hit for doing it – but I think they proved themselves and were a great party for the economy and a great help for business.
My hope is that the Lib Dems become a natural home for those people who fall to the centre of the two main parties. I have a lot of friends in the Tory and Labour parties who I think are very close to the Liberal Democrats' philosophy. I'd really like it if they would consider joining up to strengthen the party and to help it take the position it actually deserves – second or, potentially, even first place.
What goes around comes around – it's all getting a bit 1980s
Have readers (of a certain age) got that déjà vu feeling of late?
We have an authoritarian female Prime Minister – then Thatcher, now May.
A left wing Labour leader – then Foot, now Corbyn, with a Welsh wanabee – then Kinnock, now Smith.
Plucky Liberal leader – then Steel, now Farron.
It is difficult to place UKIP (unless you go further right, a lot further right maybe…)
One rather frightening piece in the jigsaw is the thought of replacing Reagan with Trump….
Who has the power now?
So, after her mini re-think, our new Prime Minister Theresa May has given the 'green light' for EDF to build a nuclear power station at Hinkley Point – together with their Chinese backers. We are bound to say that this looks like a very bad deal for Britain. The future subsidy for the power produced will make the plant a white elephant.
Don't take our word for it see what the experts say:
"Appalling value for money" is the way Professor Paul Edkins, deputy director of the UK Energy Research Centre described it, pointing out that the energy market had changed in recent years and that renewable energy costs had halved, also that new storage systems have led to the reliability of new green energy (power available even when the wind doesn't blow).
Lib Dem Lynne Featherstone said "Hinkley is now very bad value for money for the British Taxpayer and should be abandoned immediately".
The only crumb of comfort is that it will only form 7% of British power supply and cost, in theory we only pay when the power plant is up and running ('in theory' because we have seen such agreements change before).
Locally many of us are very concerned by the prospect of the Chinese designing and building their own nuclear power plant at nearby Bradwell. Here is the present Bradwell Power Station: The national security concerns have been well rehearsed regarding the Chinese involvement. All credit to the Chinese 'tiger' coming from the chaos of the Cultural Revolution and largely peasant farming culture to modern country in just a few decades. However extra caution is justified when trusting newly acquired technology in the field of nuclear power plants – the most critical science on the planet. Not taking anything from the Chinese ability to mass produce cheap consumer products, but some of their modern technology has been found wanting. The critical nature of the Bradwell plant which will demand openness and transparency throughout construction and operation makes us uneasy. This issue is about more than just money.

However, I did ignore this and opened the envelope. Of course in BIG BOLD print it says, " Approved credit purchase limit: $6,500." I am a 18year old college student. The MOST I am ever approved of is about $800. But I thought okay, I'm always on time with my payments.
As I continued to read the letter talks about using the card to purchase things from the CCA Catalog (which i have never heard of.) And if you look at the card itself it is not associated with any credit company as in VISA, MASTERCARD, ect. Which I know then it could not be used in stores. It is misleading however because it says it can be used at general stores. But within very fine print it says you have been approved to spend money on their catalog.
Here is the CATCH 22: If you open it, get excited and call the number listed to simply ask for information, you are directly connected to enter your card number. And then to even cancel the activation it asks for a banking number and your ss#. Here is where it's tricky.
They end up charging you by this, saying you activated your card. And then their is a fee of activation of $200, that is only waived if you purchase $500 from the catalog which does not exsist. This is one of the most thought out scams.
I'm sure the list goes on and on of people who automatically thought, hey, i can build my credit, but in the long run.. they destroy it. So many horror stories about this so called company. And good luck getting ahold of them, it's virtually impossible. Just inform as many people as possible, so eventually they will be shut down.
When they send you a letter they do not have any informtaion except for your name and address, possibly date of birth. With only that information they can not charge you anything. Cut and trash the letter,... or even burn it.

After a hot, exhausting day, I was so happy to get my goodies from shadowbox in the mail.
This was the first thing that jumped out at me when I opened the package! XD
The monster book's face is so creepy-cute. I love his little beady eyes!
I stroked the spine of the book, and he let me open it up to see the other goodies...
A bracelet made with butterbeer corks and buttons. Luna Lovegood would be jealous. XD
It seems as though Jelly Belly has worked with Bertie Bott to make some "every flavor beans." I may use these to play a trick on my HP-loving roommates later... ha ha ha. XD
Some fabulous feather earrings! Yet again, Luna Lovegood would be jealous. XD
I love everything, shadowbox! Thank you!! <3 <3 <3

Skip to comments.Is Pope Francis the final pope?
Posted on 03/26/2013 1:29:03 PM PDT by Perdogg
St. Malachy, an Irish archbishop born in 1094, reportedly was summoned to Rome by Pope Innocent II. While there, tradition holds that he had a vision in which details were revealed to him about all of the future popes. After he wrote the vision and gave it to the Pope, his document was filed in the Catholic Church archives and was left forgotten until it was discovered by Arnold de Wyon, a Benedictine historian, in 1590. In 1595, de Wyon published St. Malachy's vision in his Lignum Vitae.

Would that Cardinal be a Turk's son? ;^)
Oh, I'm sure the prophecy can be interpreted to cover Pope Francis (or Pope George ;-) the Argentine. Why, there are lots of people named Pedro in Argentina, lots!
I have 3 kids. All boys. The first 2 were born on the same day. 3 years apart. A good friend and her sister were born on the same day 2 years apart. WHAT ARE THE ODDS!? Oh about 1 in 365...unless its leap year.
Is it a miracle, or just the natural operation of statistics? Ooooh, now I have a headache!
Don't worry. "(the Great Monarch who is to rule Europe after the collapse of Communism)" is a gloss. Nothing says the great ruler will be a king, or even Catholic.
You foolishly store up earthly treasures, and yet this very night your life will be asked of you.
Don't waste your time deciding the meaning of the latest end times interpretation.
look into your crystal ball sheesh I have no use for stupid articles like this
Is Pope Francis the final pope?
I heard someone the other day speculate that, because of the punctuation in the prophecy, there could be a gap. So you get Benedict, then a gap of uncertain length, then Petro Romano.
This was from a dispensationalist, of course.
I dont blame people who just want everything to END...
It's coming sooner than you think.
I don't have a date in mind. I just get up every day and do what has to be done.
Probability two people were both born on the same specific date: (1/365)^2
I agree. What does it matter! ZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
When a new pope is elected—this "prophecy" will be done—just as the infamous Cornstalk Curse on every president elected with a "0" in the year would die in office. Ronald Reagan beat that one (but he was shot and didn't die). No one talks about that one anymore.

Influences on Sponsorship Deals in NASCAR: Indirect Evidence from Time on Camera
Corporate sponsorship plays an important role in the entertainment business. The question becomes: what influences the value of a sponsorship contract? Empirical analysis of this question is relatively limited because of a lack of complete data on contract values. This is especially true in NASCAR where sponsorship values are generally not released to the public. We analyze a proportional proxy for driver sponsorship value: the value of time on camera. We find that the value of time on camera is influenced by driver performance but also by their experience and, in the case of two drivers, their family name-brand capital. The results confirm that sponsorship value in NASCAR is not only determined by what a driver has done most recently but, to some extent, what their fathers had done before them. Key Words: Sports, Sponsorship, NASCAR, Naming Rights, Return on Investment, Advertising

Anyone who has stood on a quiet subway platform, walked a dog through a municipal park at dusk or jogged in the moonlight past garbage bags lining a sidewalk knows the city could do better at rat control.
Now city Comptroller Scott Stringer has released an audit showing that New Yorkers are losing ground in the long twilight war against the fleet-footed pests known as rattus norvegicus and their fellow travelers.
The results are not for the squeamish:
We're losing the rat race. Citizen complaints of pest infestations totaled 22,300 in fiscal 2012 -- then jumped to 24,600 the following year. That's unacceptable. We must fight this vermin in the Dumpsters, on the wharves, in the cellars, alleyways and gardens. We must make clear that we -- not them, not their friends -- own this town.
The city doesn't quite get it. When complaints come in. Stringer says, the health department fails nearly a fourth of the time to investigate within the agency's 10-day target. But a leisurely response means the rats win. Studies have found that New York is home to perhaps the largest rat population in the nation. And Rattus norvegicus does not respond to mere expressions of human irritation.
We must clean up stray garbage, lace the shrubs with rat traps and flush out the burrows where the rodents hide.
The health department quarrels with some of Stringer's methods and conclusions.
But here's what we do know about rats: They're "a daily, stomach-turning insult," as Stringer says, "whether they're scurrying over people's feet on sidewalks," or invading homes where children are sleeping.
We also know they're more than a grotesque nuisance. They are notorious carriers of infectious diseases like plague and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
We must do what it takes to beat them back.

In the next three years, Mercedes-Benz will launch four compact vehicles in the U.S. that will be priced from $30,000 or lower. The list includes a production version of the A-class coupe concept that was displayed recently at the New York auto show. The three are variants of Mercedes' new-generation compact family.
According to insiders, these cars are: a small van that will likely be electric; a small sedan named the CLC; and a small crossover dubbed the GLC.
Mercedes-Benz hesitated about bringing the A class to the U.S. but a few months ago, this decision was reversed after early versions of the new compact line were viewed by a product committee and marketing chief Steve Cannon.
Ernst Lieb, CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA, said that the deciding factor was the marked difference between the new-generation A class and the current A class sold in Europe. He clarified that the A class has a "very European design" that didn't appeal to customers in North America but they see a "huge potential" in this new car. The C class is currently the lowest-priced Mercedes, which is priced at $34,865, including freight.
With a ground clearance that is around 18 cm less than that of its predecessor, the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class is able to convey both dynamism and style. It inherits the radical form language that was first unveiled through the A-Class Concept, exuding it in the most respectable manner. This gave rise to the so-called two-box design with its own attributes, an emotional exterior and a high-quality interior. The new A-Class features an exterior with defined edges and outstanding harmony between concave and convex surfaces – an interplay that results to a distinct play of light, which is most notable along the sides of the A-Class.
Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes-Benz, remarked that translating the new Mercedes-Benz style into the compact class was a challenge that was a "great fun to tackle." He noted that the Mercedes-Benz A-Class is the most progressive car in its segment with its character lines on the exterior and the new dynamic styling in the interior.
On the front end, the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class is still specified with a pronounced V-shape, the radiator grille with central Mercedes star, two slats to either side of the star, the separate headlamps, and extra air intakes on the sides. Moreover, the side profile features a "dropping line" that dissolves towards the front end of the A-Class. Its headlamps feature a unique design as well as a light function configuration that is considered one of the key elements of the concept.
Both the LEDs and the light modules behind the headlamp cover glass were laid out to create the so-called "flare effect" for the daytime driving lights and indicators. This flare is made up of the feature line within the headlamp, the bulb sets for the indicators and the LED modules for the daytime running lamps – all providing the front end with a signature lively appearance.
A pronounced balance of aerodynamics and dynamic design is clearly noted on the roof, which boasts of smooth surfaces and arcing curve. On the other hand, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class features a silhouette that exposes flowing lines that end in a flat edge.
Moreover, it features a beltline that rises to the rear, thereby resulting to a pronounced wedge-shape. It is fitted with a roof spoiler that does not only conceal all the aerials, but also gives structure and a sense of sportiness to the roof assembly. Its sides are marked by sculptural side panels and crisp lines. Likewise, the Mercedes-Benz A-Class features a front structural edge plunging in a gentle arc towards the rear. Its well-shaped shoulder muscles are positioned above the rear axle to help highlight the coupé-like character of the A-Class.
Just in front of the rear wheel arch is a sweeping line. In addition, the A-Class is fitted with dynamic side sill panels. At the rear, the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class reveals a cordial interplay between convex and concave surfaces and edges. Continuing the line of the muscular shoulders are horizontally oriented tail lights that also highlight the width of the A-Class.
These taillights – which could be powered optionally by fiber-optic cables and LED modules – boast of a surface finish that does not only make it more elegant, but also improves the airflow around the car with its defined airflow break-away edges.
