Just so you're not hunting for too long. If you want to concatenate text and fields in a text box then you need to do the following in the value field:
= "Dear " + Fields.Fname + " " + Fields.Lname + " welcome to the club"
Ensuring you use + rather than &. Since & is not recognised.
Regarding barcodes. You could probably use a third party tool and create a bracode image (there are open source ones out their) then create a function that reurns an image and just call this image on the databind event of a picture box.

Two months after top editor Sarah Kinbar left Garden Design, Bonnier Corp. announced that it's moving the magazine from Winter Park, Fla., to New York City and replacing some key staffers, Folio: reports.
Three staffers are leaving the magazine, says Folio:. Two are going to be reassigned elsewhere in Bonnier, and one is leaving the company entirely.
Meanwhile, the magazine is getting a new design, a "new roster of contributing editors," and three hires for high-profile positions: William L. Hamilton, a former reporter and editor with the New York Times, will take the spot vacated by Kinbar, while Greg Ferro, formerly All You executive editor will serve as executive managing editor. James Oseland, editor-in-chief of Saveur, will now serve as editorial director.
Oseland is the second high-profile departure from Saveur in as many weeks, though Saveur is also a Bonnier property, so Oseland isn't leaving the company entirely. Correction: Oseland is adding the title of editorial director of Garden Design to his existing responsibilities at Saveur. Managing editor Georgia Freedman, on the other hand, resigned about two weeks ago for parts yet unknown.

Ashya King 'constantly smiling' after arriving in Prague for cutting-edge treatment
CANCER boy Ashya King will today begin the pioneering proton beam treatment his parents believe will save him – and fled Britain to get.
We are so happy to be here. It's amazing, I'm excited
The five-year-old brain tumour patient arrived at a hospital in Prague, Czech Republic, yesterday after flying from Spain in a private jet.
His parents Brett and Naghmeh sparked a police hunt ending in their arrest last week after removing Ashya from a Southampton hospital without the permission of doctors.
But yesterday Mr King, 51, spoke of his delight that the treatment, denied to Ashya in the UK, can begin.
He said: "We are so happy to be here. It's amazing, I'm excited. When you see my son you see it was worth going through the whole thing to get him better. He will get better now.
"This is what we wanted from the beginning. Things went from bad to worse at one stage. Power to the people. Thank you everyone."
He added: "He's building up his strength now. I am sure they are going to give him the best treatment. We just hope for the best for him."
His wife Naghmeh, 45, added: "I'm happy to be here."
Ashya's grandmother Patricia King, 77, said the youngster "had not stopped smiling" since his father told him he would finally be receiving the treatment. She said: "Brett told Ashya it will make him better."
Ashya was admitted to University Hospital Motol in Prague, where his father discussed his treatment, a form of radiology, with experts at the Proton Therapy Centre Czech. He will undergo his first consultation and examination today.
The Prague centre arranged for a Cessna Citation Mustang jet fitted with medical equipment to transport the young patient from Spain.
The same plane also flew footballer Angel Di Maria to Britain last month when he signed for Manchester United and has been used by Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ashya left Malaga's Materno-Infantil Hospital around 8am and was taken to Malaga Airport in an ambulance with his mother at his side.
His father and the family lawyer followed in another vehicle.
Ashya's arrival in Prague brings an end to a dramatic 11 days for the youngster and his family.
His parents were accused of child neglect after they whisked him away, planning to sell their home in Malaga in a bid to raise money for treatment.
They were arrested near Malaga on August 30 and spent three nights in custody on international arrest warrants.
But the allegations were dropped after a public outcry and they were reunited with their son in the hospital in Malaga.
A High Court judge approved Ashya's transfer to Prague. Mr Justice Baker said worried social workers were justified in asking the court to take responsibility for the youngster.
But he added that "whatever the rights and wrongs", it had not been in Ashya's interests to be separated from his parents.
It is not clear who will meet the £70,000 cost of the treatment.

Thread for anyone TTC with a bit of medical help!(99 Posts)
Hello ladies! I'm looking to start something like one of the normal TTC 'busses' but for any of us that are on the journey with a bit of medical assistance (but not full IVF, as there's already an established thread for that!). I'm talking: assisted ovulation, clomid, metformin, IUI, Femara, injections, all those helpful little pushes from the doctors as we may not quite get there on our own! Post your story below and let's cross fingers for lots of BFPs over the coming months - would love to hear from you
To get the ball rolling...
I'm 32 as of this month, came off the pill in December fully expecting everything to slot into a standard 28 day cycle. I'd been on the pill 14 years so had no recollection of what my cycle was like beforehand! Anyway my post-pill cycles have been 98 days, then 40, then 42... now god knows what (on day 25 today). I think I did actually ovulate on my own on each of those occasions as I was charting everything. My third cycle was monitored by the hospital and assisted by FSH and HCG injections and I had the same ovulation symptoms that time as the times on my own, which is really good. A start!!
I'm very lucky in that I live in Thailand and was able to go and see a doctor via my health insurance without jumping through the usual NHS hoops - after a lot of messing around with different readings I was diagnosed properly with PCOS last month. I don't have any of the usual symptoms though, and I have a BMI of 23 - 'lean PCOS' apparently. Have found tons of amazing info on the Soul Cysters website which has clued me up!
The hospital gave me an ultrasound last week on day 23 and found my ovaries in a 'resting state' not doing anything to produce an egg (lazy bastards!). So they just yesterday put me on metformin (10 days, 500mg per day) and Femara (5 days, 2.5mg per day) to try and sort my hormones out and get me to ovulate more regularly. I'm back in for an ultrasound scan on Weds next week to see how the meds are working.
I'm moving back to England in May, so am really hoping I get somewhere before then, although I was just in the UK on a holiday and had to have blood tests done there - I found my usual NHS surgery to be really helpful, although I know that's not the case for everyone. I've been lucky. Now I just need the luck to translate into a baby!!
Would love to hear from anyone else going through similar things, any success stories, or discussions about your medical care so far. Thanks all for reading this far! x x
Ooh hello, thanks for starting the thread. I live in China and like you didn't have to do any waiting around to get to the bottom of things. I came off the pill last Oct and finally gave in a went to the docs today. He whipped me straight into the ultrasound room and I now have a PCOS diagnosis and a prescription for metformin and femara combined. Feel a little shell shocked but also pretty glad to have a reason for all this frustration lately. When he said ultrasound I had a nice fuzzy mental image of lying on a bed with jelly on my stomach, not the dildo with a camera I was confronted with

Oh bloody iphone
Hello ladies, great idea on the thread, thank you. I'm not having any assistance (yet), but undergoing lots of tests. Been TTC no 2 for a very long time now. No. 1 took quite a while, but this time round is proving a very long road. Possible PCOS so trying to loose weight as I was a good 20 pounds lighter first time round. Really interesting to hear your stories from abroad! The NHS has been a slow and painful route so far, but sadly can't afford private. Good luck Brickphone and Chandlersfarang, hope you get your BFP's very soon!
Keeponjuggling & BrickPhone thanks so much for your replies!! Sorry to hear you've both been having trouble.
BrickPhone - that is EXACTLY what happened to me!!! I went in last month expecting to have a chat with a doctor about my weird cycles, and the next thing you know I had that very in fuzzy vag camera (lol) followed by PCOS diagnosis, and then an hour later was having FSH injected through my stomach into my ovary because they'd spotted one follicle trying to grow, that they wanted to give a boost!! Was a crazy amount to take in in one day tbh.
That day I got home and did lots of googling about PCOS, and (luckily) found that the treatment I'd just had was very good, and way better than anything the NHS would have done (to get to injection stage would have taken months if not years!). Which made me cautiously positive. I was pretty shell shocked in the days afterwards tho I have to say, and a bit teary, as I'm pretty healthy and have been lucky to never really have had anything wrong with me before. So don't worry if you go through a few phases with it. Your circumstances are so similar to mine, let's keep in touch!! . What was it that made you decide to go to the doc in the first place? When do you have your next appointment?
Keeponjuggling - really sorry to hear you've had a tough time TTC #2! So do you think you've always maybe had PCOS, but got lucky naturally the first time? What tests have you had so far? X x x
*UN FUZZY (obvs!)
Hello chandlers and keepon it's really nice to share stories!
keepon I think as well as losing weight there are dietary changes that can help to get PCOS under control naturally, even without drugs. I did a lot of googling too (!!) and apparently cutting back on white bread, white rice and pasta and switching to whole grains helps. Also cutting out fruit juices and alcohol. It's because PCOS is linked to a resistance to insulin so a low GI diet can help. I'm going back to the UK for a holiday this weekend (yay!) so think I'll pick up a couple of GI books while I'm there, for inspiration. If either of you find any info about natural ways to ease PCOS,please share because I'm determined to give my body the best chance!
chandlers I went to the docs in the end because I reached the end of my emotional strength, frankly. Our friends and family are watching us like hawks expecting us to announce happy news any day... We got married 7 months ago and since then I've had a lot of blunt questions from well meaning people. I reached a point where I couldn't fib any more with 'ohhhh well, we'll see, no rush' etc and started to give blunt answers back. Who would have thought 'we've been trying and nothing is happening' could be such a conversation killer?!
After feeling a bit teary and alone yesterday this thread really picked me up and today I feel really positive, quite excited to be able to have a bit more control over what's happening during my cycle. Thanks ladies!
I have a 3 month supply of the drugs which I will start in august. Then if no luck during that time I have to go back for a tubal blockage investigation. Apparently it's painful so fingers crossed I can get pg without. My husband has been called in for a semen analysis, too - have you ladies sent your fellas in for the same?
Have a great day and keep talking, this is all just a hiccup on the road!
Oh and chandlers, yikes to the stomach injection!!
BrickPhone it's good to have someone in my time zone as well! whereabouts in China are you? Are you working? I'm on a two year work thing in Bangkok with DH. Have made the most of being here but tbh been quite homesick... Now I've got this diagnosis I've had mixed emotions about moving home as I'm not sure what kind of medical treatment I'll get there.
Ok a load of questions for you:
- how did they diagnose you? Was it a blood test as well as an ultrasound?
- do u have any other symptoms other than weird cycles/lack of pregnancy?
- what dosage of metformin are you on? They've given me 500mg per day for 10 days... Assuming they'll give me more when I go back on Thursday next week for my next scan, from what I've read, and if you've got 3 months' worth!
On lifestyle stuff - I don't know if you're overweight or not but that has an impact. I'm following a low-GI diet now and have cut out sugar as much as possible - was quite healthy anyway to be honest but now it's more important than ever! PCOS has associated health risks down the line, so you're really doing yourself a service to be as healthy as possible and exercise to keep those risks low. There's a ton of great info on the Soul Cysters website, especially the forum. Make sure you read the sticky threads in the newbies section. I've got 'lean PCOS' (my BMI is 23) and the 'thin Cysters' forum has some really good info too, and a lot of links to medical journals and studies on metformin. Us being given Femara is pretty revolutionary by the way - I've learned that it's not available on the NHS due to it's expense, and the fact it's still only registered for use as a breast cancer treatment drug there. So you can only get it privately. There is a good medical journal article on the successful usage of the two together here:
Have an amazing time back in the UK! I just came home from a bloody brilliant 3 week trip. Went to Glastonbury and did cool fun stuff a baby would have precluded We are in exactly the same boat with family/friends thinking we're going to announce a pregnancy any second tho which was pretty annoying while back home - been over here a year, and married for 2 now. I had my 32nd birthday there too (having been a signatory to the "I'll have kids by 30" mantra in my twenties this was annoying!). Have told my closest mates, but everyone else is getting vague references to "when we get home". I was quite stressed out with being away to begin with, and then this compounded that - got myself into a bit of a pickle in my head, which is unusual for me. I found a really good book that has helped me change my thought patterns and see things more clearly and helpfully which you might like to look up in due course if you felt you needed it... It's Change Your Thinking with CBT by Dr Sarah Edelman.
So good to be able to share all this!!! X x
Oh just to add - the doctors haven't mentioned the Fallopian tubes investigation to me yet, but I did read someone on here that just came home from having it say that it really wasn't as bad as they thought! If that helps.
And yes my DH went yesterday to give his sample!! He's been amazing - he went from a bit of indignation at the idea he could have an issue at the start of this (male pride, lol) to being fine about it. He came home from it yesterday with a glint in his eye, complimenting them on their porn selection ("Hollywood standard" apparently, lol) and saying he enjoyed his first ever completely guilt-free wank!
Should get the results today. Fx for him, last thing we need is both of us to be on the go-slow!!!! Xx
Guilt free wank!!! Haha!!!
We're in shanghai. Both working, 3 years now. I thought I was homesick until we seriously discussed returning to the UK, that made me realise what a fantastic life we've built out here. I still desperately miss my family and friends back home though! It's hard sometimes...
I'll try to answer your questions:
-they only used an ultrasound to diagnose me. Tbh I expected a blood test but the doctor seemed very experienced so I trust he's made the right analysis. I certainly hope so!
-my cycles aren't that freaky really, they vary from 27 to 29 days but my period only lasts 2 days, maybe I should have read more into that earlier but I just assumed it was a variation on normal. I'm a bit spotty and always have been. Hope this treatment also improves my skin a bit. My bmi is about 19 so that must put me in the lean category with you.
-I haven't looked at the dose on the metformin, will check tonight. I'm not starting now as I was warned to avoid alcohol and if I'm not drinking when I'm in the UK next week all my family and friends will start nudging each other, I can't take the speculation. Also I've missed the window for the femara so may as well wait a few weeks.
Thanks so much for all your recommendations and advice chandlers , I will definitely check out soul cysters this evening. Good luck to mr chandlers, hope he gets a good result today!
Aaah I went to Shanghai for meetings a few months ago, loved it! Hopefully I'll be back there again before we leave. Had a really good international feel and was much cooler in April than Bangkok!! I got to wear my leather jacket for the first time in months! Lol.
Anyway I don't want to confuse anything, as it's sounding like your diagnosis is probably right, but you should have some sort of further test to diagnose you conclusively. This is because 2 of 3 criteria have to be met for a PCOS diagnosis. As per this link: http://www.myvmc.com/diseases/polycystic-ovarian-syndrome-pcos/
"PCOS was first described in 1935 as a collection of commonly occurring signs and symptoms. Since then, the criteria for diagnosing PCOS have changed several times. Most recently, the Rotterdam Consensus Conference agreed that PCOS may be diagnosed where any two of the following conditions are present:
- Menstrual dysfunction: infrequent menstrual periods where no egg is released;
- Clinical or laboratory evidence of hyperandrogenism (e.g. increased body hair, acne, high levels of testosterone on testing);
- Polycystic ovaries on ultrasound.
So PCOS shouldn't really be diagnosed by ultrasound alone on account of this: Polycystic ovaries are very common and can affect up to 20% of women.[1] However, the majority of women with polycystic ovaries do not have features of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and do not require intervention. Prevalence figures vary depending on diagnostic criteria used, but PCOS is thought to affect 5-15% of women of reproductive age.[2]
From: http://www.patient.co.uk/doctor/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pro
I was holding out a hope that I might be one of those women who had the appearance of polycystic ovaries on a scan but did not have the syndrome... However my second blood test back in Thailand last week confirmed i do, because of the ratio of FSH to LH in my blood. The one in the UK was inconclusive, and the doctor put it down to jetlag affecting my hormones (one to bear in mind as an expat!). So I meet 2 of that criteria 1. the irregular periods plus 3. the scan results. Now backed up with the blood test result.
Anyway just thought this may help you out, as I had no idea what was what for weeks after reading conflicting stuff online, but am now totally clear on what's what!!
One last link that should make you happy (it did me!):
Key bit from the study of lean women taking metformin:
"Of these, 74 women had a Body Mass Index of 25 or less (thereby meeting the definition of thin woman PCOS) and were 38 years of age or younger at the time of the procedure. This if the first reported series of this nature. Of these, 59 patients desired conception and were available for follow-up. They had a mean duration of infertility of 3.7 years and a mean body mass index of 23.9. 49 (83%) of these patients have conceived with a mean time to conception of 4.2 months. Most of these conceptions have occurred without further intervention, although 11 of these women conceived with the subsequent use of clomiphene/FSH for IUI and three conceived through IVF because of male factor issues. None of these women experienced hyperstimulation. There have been no post-operative complications and there have been no cases of ovarian failure."
So 83% conceived, and the average length of time to conception was 4.2 months!!!! With Femara too that can only boost our chances even higher/quicker.
I love science - aren't we lucky we were born at the right point of human history to benefit from all these advances in treatment?! x x
Good morning chandlers, I was hoping we'd have a few more joiners overnight but it's still pretty quiet. More of a taxi than a bus at the moment! Do you think we should repost in infertility?
Anyway thanks for sharing all your info, you've done a lot of research, how long ago were you diagnosed?
I did a lot of reading and I hear your point about the blood test, however I've read a few articles either way and so I'm going to trust my doctor on this. He's an ob-gyn so a specialist and he asked a lot of questions before prescribing me anything.
I'm really happy to have connected with you because I think we can be a good mutual support, especially since we're both living in Asia, it's quite comforting to know you're not alone!
I'm super excited now with one day left of work before I fly to the UK... My husband flew there almost 3 weeks ago so I'm really looking forward to joining him. He's a teacher so nice long hols, unfortunately not the same for me! Are you working?
Did your DP get his results? Hope all came back fine. I certainly agree with you, we are very lucky to be living in such a scientific age... With the stats as high as 1 in 10 having their fertility affected by PCOS, it makes you wonder how women managed in the past?!
Have a great day and keep in touch...
Yeah I was wondering where everyone else is!! Are there any other ladies out there getting a bit of medical help...? Post away! It's fab chatting to BrickPhone and keeponjuggling but I know there's more of you ladies out there...
Gah just wrote you a long reply Brick and it vanished!!!!
Just to say that it's really cool to chat to you too, amazingly similar situations. Cool you're content with the diagnosis as is - I just had a bit of beef with mine, which was only confirmed last week, after a few conflicting bits of advice (speaking to three doctors hasn't helped - one here, one in the UK where I had to have my first blood test, and one at our work's insurance company). My blood test from the UK didn't show PCOS but the one i had last week did.
DH had his sample done - was all OK apart from the 'motility' (movement) which was 40% - normal is 50%. The other 2 things (count and shape) were really good tho luckily. Was a bit of a shit day yesterday when we got his result as we just didn't really need any more bad news - being up against it as we are already! But they are testing again in a month, so hopefully will be better then.
We're back into optimistic mode again today tho, having heard tons of positive stories about PCOS girls getting upduffed by men with less than 100% speedy sperm so fuck it, I'm sure we'll be OK!
Have an amazing time back in the UK!!! I didn't think about TTC at all there as we were so busy - very good for the soul!!!
Anyone else out there..?
Hello ladies, sorry for radio silence. I'm currently jumping through seemingly endless NHS hoops, and loosing patience fast.
chandlers yes, it looks like we got incredibly lucky first time around, but I was around 18lbs lighter and very fit at the time. I've just had day 21, day 3 bloods and the usual swabs taken, my DH has has SA done (all normal), now waiting (not so patiently) for my referral. Its taken 10 months to get to this stage!! Your stories are incredible, I can't believe how fast your diagnosis and treatment have been. The NHS is great in lot of ways, but in others its absolutely awful.
So far I've been having reflexology, taking yoga classes and trying to loose weight. still no joy.
How are you all doing? hope to see some bfp's on this thread very soon!
Hey keeponjuggling!! Sorry I only just spotted your post. So annoying that you have to keep waiting for these things!! How long will it take until you get your referral? And what happens at that point, do you know? Have you been given any medication or is that to come later?
So I've just come back from the hospital where I had an ultrasound to see how the medication has been working. I have been on metformin for 10 days, and I took Femara for 5 days at the start of that period (usually you take that CD3-8, but I took it from CD24 when I went for the scan rather than wait for my next cycle, to jump start my ovaries which were in a totally resting state with no eggs growing, so was the same stage as CD3 would have been given total non-action!).
ANYWAY. Today's ultrasound revealed that this medication has led me to grow THREE EGG FOLLICLES in ten days!!!! One on the right and two left. Which is mental!! So happy about that. Clearly the meds work for me
These follicles are almost big enough to send an egg out now (ie ovulate!!) but to make sure they actually do (my body really isn't reliable!), I am going back to the hospital to get an injection of HCG tomorrow (called a trigger shot) to make me ovulate for sure. Maybe more than one of these eggs will appear?! Double chance at glory..?!?!
So that's all awesome. I have two associated issues - my endometrial lining is too thin (so an egg might not have much joy implanting). Also, my luteal phase is 10 days at best, and was 9 last cycle. So today they've given me these estrogen hormone patches that I stick on my stomach to sort the lining out, and a load of progesterone pills to take from 1DPO to lengthen my luteal phase.
PHEW. Now if this isn't TTC with medical help then I dunno what is!!!!
Have written all this down in case it helps anyone else out there - even those not posting replies, like I used to when I was a total lurker (and still am on other boards!!).
Hi everybody, lurker here.
I'm not TTC with medical help at the moment, but I'd love to :S
We've been trying since January with no luck. I was diagnosed with PCOS in my early 20 (36 now) back in Spain.
I'm going to see my GP next Monday, l don't know what to expect, I got the feeling that they are not going to take me seriously and tell me to keep trying. I just want to know what's going on down there!
So if anybody has tips for me about what to say or ask, they will be most welcome.
Hi donttellmetorelax!!
You definitely should go and see your GP. I would present your diagnosis in Spain and detail the PCOS symptoms that you have - what ones do you get, if any?
If the symptoms sound right, they will reconfirm the diagnosis I would imagine, and maybe take a blood test? I thought that if you were over 35 then they didn't make you wait for ages, they were more helpful.
I think the first thing you need is a good, understanding GP and take it from there! Do you know yours?
Hi Chandlers!
Actually we just moved, so it's going to be my first visit with this GP in the new place.
I'm not sure how to transfer my medical history from Spain, (I've been living in the Uk for 5 years). I went to the the doctors at the beginning of the year because I was having blood sugar swings and told them about my PCOS, but they only tested my blood sugar (not fast insulin) and thyroid. They said that the results were normal and told me to keep trying.
My PCOS are quite "text book". Acné, irregular periods, weight around the middle, hair loss, spotting before periods,etc.
I'm trying to stick to a low(ish) GI diet, and it seems that the blood sugar is more stable and my last cycles are varying from 32 to 28 days.
I'll explain him all this and hope they want to start with some investigations.
Good luck everybody!
donttellmetorelax It sounds positive that your bloods were normal, and that your cycles have some kind of rhythm!
Good work on the diet! I have been pretty militant about cutting out sugar/going low GI since I got diagnosed. I don't have many PCOS symptoms but I have always had to put a lot more effort into staying slim than most people I know. Are you particularly overweight (if you don't mind me asking?). Anyone with PCOS and a BMI under 25 is considered to have 'lean PCOS'. Mine's 23... There's a lot of info on this on the Soul Cysters website if that does apply to you!
I've found all of the sticky threads on that board (and in the other parts of the same forum) really really informative. Most link to recent research and studies into PCOS.
Good luck!!
I just had my 'trigger' HCG injection at the hospital so I should ovulate in the next 36-48 hours apparently!! So mental they can do this 'on demand'. Anyway me and DH have a weekend of DTD ahead! There were 3 eggs ready to go, apparently all 3 could come out which trebles our chances of success (and raises a slight risk of triplets but it's pretty tiny!! Lol). Eek!
OMG Chandlers thar sounds really exciting and promissing. Go and get busy!!!
My BMI is 26, so yes, I'm slightly overweight, trying to lose a couple of kilos, but it's so hard...
Keep us posted!

José Mourinho's press conference ahead of Champions League game with Maccabi Tel Aviv:
"Champions League is a new competition [for the new season], we must start well because after this game we go to Porto and then to Russia, tomorrow it's important to win"
"When people is not getting the success you work it's normal to be frustrated and not happy"
"It's so simple to accept that the result are not good: that's football, and every season you have some teams that don't start well, you can connect that with football, injuries, bad luck, bad moments…our problem will be a problem if problems are real, but our real problem is just that we don't have good results. In some cases you gotta go back many years to find good result, in our case you gotta go back just three months"
"Why some managers can be in a bad situation for 5-6 years and I'm the only manager [that cannot have a bad moment]…I am the champion manager, so…"
"I like my squad and I know the consequences of making a couple of changes in my team, if I give the chance to other players, then you will say I have a problem with the players I will leave out but I've not to be worried about that you write but just about my team. Yes, I will do a couple of changes, I will give a chance to people that are working really hard"
"We have to go game by game, in the Champions League we need to qualify because it's important for the club status and also economically, and also for us as professionals because we feel we belong to Champions League not to Europa League"
"Every team that is in the Champions League is a team with conditions to get a result, it's a matter of logic: if Basel is good enough to beat Chelsea and Maccabi Tel Aviv is good enough Basel, so Maccabi can be good enough to beat Chelsea. Football is not maths, but I respect Maccabi, I studied them, it's a good team. We are prepared for Maccabi playing the normal way with 4-3 in the middle or coming with 5 defenders, that is a little bit different, but it's always good, and we gotta be prepared to everything"
"When I arrived here I said that I was special and happy, yes…What am I today? Special and happy"
"Bad third seasons? I had no third seasons with Porto and Inter, in my previous spell at Chelsea in the third season I won a FA and a League Cup and reached Champions League semifinals, in my third season at Real Madrid I won the Supercup, lost the Cup final and reached Champions League semifinals. Click Google instead of asking stupid questions.
"It's the first time I go through such a bad start, I don't have anything to show, to anyone"
"It's impressive what Maccabi did beating Basel, that reached a very good level in Europe in the past years: they kicked out Liverpool from the Europa League and two years ago they beat Chelsea, so it's impressive what they did"
"We know what we are champions of England – as our fans sing every match- it's not because we started SO bad, and I want to stress that, we started SO bad, that somebody can steal what we are: nobody can do that, so we know what we are, champions of England"
"I'm not here after a defeat just waiting for the the next game: my work is to do many many things, that's also speaking with the players, analysing the games…I'm not here to tell you everything I do, but of course we're not happy"
"I don't have theories, I have opinions, also with my assistants, and then there is an aspect that is very important in football that is confidence level, and when you don't have it, it's a strange feeling"
"I don't like to speak about opponent players"
"Baba is selected, Falcao has a little problem.
"We don't prioritise competitions. I would lie if I tell you that we are doing well in the Premier League because we think about the Champions League.
"I'm fine, not happy. The new short haircut is not for a particular reason, I'm just adapting to the situation, not the situation of losing"
"Falcao is not not in the squad, he got something in the tendon training, nothing important"
"I like people to communicate, you don't need to scream to communicate, but if it happens some times between people that like each other very much I don't think is a drama."

So, a couple of weeks ago, I met Justin Halley of Major. Justin could only shoot for about 40 minutes. So, I thought that I would take him to the roof to shoot some nice sunny shots. I dressed him from head to toe in white. Little did I know that this would be the last time that I would have roof access as this past weekend, my building no longer allows for sun roof tanning, drinking, smoking, or shooting . . . with a camera that is. So, Mr. Halley, you were the last person that I am ever going to shoot in what was my summer studio.
Month: May 2011
6 Months into the Year
So, this past week has proven to be quite a challenge with Dancing with The Stars, Glee and American Idol season's finales. And, to top it off, no more Oprah, the way we all know her. And, then, I had an eye injury. Yep. SCARY. But, I am better. So, with this new found time on my hands, I wondered aloud, where am I on my scale of accomplishments for the year. Let's just say that I am lagging. I still need to lose weight. AND, I have NOT made women a priority in front of my camera. What can I say? So, with that being said, I am going try to do a bit better in the next 6 months. Until, then, I will honor Memorial Day with two shots of a friend of mine from Utah. His name is Alex. He is about to set it off here in NYC. Shy, polite and 'raised the right way', he reminds me of when I first moved to NYC. Open and up for any challenge because he believes that the world belongs to him. Many have died to allow our dreams to become a reality. You may not support our War(s). But, we can surely support our troops. Holla! (Hey, I live in Harlem.)
Happy Memorial Day. And, thank God for my eyesight and memories of me and Mother going to the zoo and getting caught in the rain EVERY Memorial Day.
P.S. Notice the overhaul of my blog. AND, check out my new section on my website called BLACK. Yeah, it is not what you probably think it is. But, it is a process of change. I need sleep. I am turning all 'new agey'.
Viva Renato
So, I am several steps closer to updating my website. Choosing the photos was the biggest task. So, don't think that I lied about this past weekend. But, in the midst of my updates, I am preparing for summer. And, what better way to usher in summer than with a Brazilian. Hot off the heels of his 'exposure' for the Made in Brazil magazine launch, here is a mini preview of my shoot with the hottest export since Gisele: Mr. Renato Ferreira of Major. Stay tuned.
Happy Friday_Michael Russo
Well, this past week has been quite eventful to say the least. But, I will update you a bit more with what has been my life. The big focus is updating my website. Oh yeah, that thing. It has been 2 YEARS since I have touched it. And, I can't take another comment about it. So, this is the goal. I figure if I blog about it, then, I will have to follow through.
Until then, I will share with you Major Model Management's newest discovery, Michael Russo. Half Ecuadorian and Italian, he is quite the exotic beauty. Confident and unwittingly sexy. He is my choice to set the weekend off.
Happy Friday. And, check out my website on Monday to see if I kept to my word. Oh boy.
Stars Cafe featuring Fredric J
I officially call the month of May, the month of Sweden. Yes, there is another post on the trannie from Sweden. But, my new friend Bashar Zidane, editor/publisher of the online magazine Stars Cafe, interviewed Fredric about his fledgling modeling career. The magazine layout is pretty cool. But, I must admit, I can't read a word of it. Now, if you speak Arabic, this magazine will be right up your alley. But, you can see my photographs that accompany the article here. Please, check out the site too for the interview.
Thanks to Bashar for using my photographs. Also, there will be an English version due out next month. I will keep you posted.
Razor Red Magazine
Finally, I can share with everyone an editorial that I shot quite a long time ago for Razor Red Magazine out of Hong Kong. My story is called Apocalypse featuring Mr. Michael Wozniak of Ford Models. My amazing team is stylist Johanna Laracuente; And, make-up guru Yeikov. I love seeing my work in print. But, I must say the hoops and time after one shoots can be quite sobering. But, as always, please support print magazines . . .even if you never get a copy of that very magazine that you have shot for. To see a few more images, please visit Razor Red's website. But, for your viewing pleasure, I have put a few out takes here for you.
Thanks to Jesse of Ford for his support.
P.S. Until my scanner is fixed, I am going to photograph the cards that the trannies write and leave me. Yeah, it is bootleg but fun. Happy Monday.
Fredric Johansson
If you have ever met Fredric Johansson in person, you will be mesmerized at his personal style. He is a walking advertisement for Oak NYC. And, once you realize that his wardrobe IS his personal style, you are, then, lost in those deep blue ocean eyes framed by a blonde mop top and exquisite cheekbones. Yes, there is a deity among us. But, this one has the most cutting sense of humor. And, Fredric is as smart as a whip. Once I overheard a conversation of his where he flipped from talking about modeling to the global economy and how it was affecting Brazil. WTF?
So, on Sweden's last full night in The City, he allowed me to photograph him one more time. I had an ambitious idea of having him 'America'd' out. So, I had a flag painted on his face; styled him from head to toe denim topped off with a huge cowboy hat. I wanted to use cowboy boots. But, I found combat boots to be the most fitting given our time in the present. How very American, I thought. Sweden became my new version of America lost; My sentimental dream of a foreigner making his way in NYC to find success; A Warholian Lonesome Cowboy or Midnight Cowboy (cuz we shot in Central Park at 2am).
I love when I can find that connection with my camera to any person. It is magic. And, you photograph or paint or weld or sculpt, you understand what I mean when you find that moment. And, Mr. Johansson went on my crazy journey: jumping, laughing, lurking, crying or whatever I asked, he delivered. Thanks Sweden for your time; And, continued success. Go rock Paris and Milan.
Styling by me of course. And, the make-up was done the great Michael Gwaltney (he did the concept and make-up in 30 minutes). Thanks to Mr. Bonaparte at Next. You rock too.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FIRA) has ruled Citibank violated state anti-discrimination laws when it fired Edward Laurence Bowne in 2008—and ordered the bank to pay Bowne $500,000 in compensation.
Bowne worked as a branch manager for Citigroup Global Markets brokerage from 1997 until his firing at age 66. The problems began when Citibank hired a much younger regional manager to supervise Bowne in 2004. Bowne stated the manager consistently made snide comments about Bowne's age, allegedly telling him he was "getting a little long in the tooth."
Citibank fired Bowne while he was on leave after his sister died.
In addition to the ageist comments, FIRA found evidence that the manager had reduced Bowne's bonus based on a questionable customer complaint and replaced him with a much younger worker.
Note: Employers may mistakenly believe that they can justify a firing simply by accumulating evidence of poor performance. But when an employee raises evidence of discrimination and long-term harassment, it casts doubt on the poor performance argument.

Wellstone City is not new to smuggling. The big crime syndicates all have established operations, and there are plenty of small-time crooks who bring in (or ship out) various shady goods.
However, a massive shipment of military-grade arms was just intercepted by an unknown party. The intended recipients, the Black Dragons, have millions tied up in this shipment and are keen to get it back and kill those responsible. Read More

DALLAS -- Texas Rangers reliever Joakim Soria has targeted late May or early June for a return to the big leagues following the second Tommy John surgery of his career.
Soria, appearing at a fan event sponsored by ESPN Deportes 1540 AM in Dallas on Thursday, said he's throwing out to 120 feet and feels good. He does not know when he might get on a mound.
Soria, a two-time All-Star with 160 career saves with the Kansas City Royals, had surgery last April and the usual recovery time is 12 to 18 months.
"I'd like to start when the season begins in April, but that's not realistic," Soria said. "I'm still looking at late May, but it's probably more like the first few days of June. It depends how it goes with the bullpens. I'm doing everything possible to get ready as soon as I can. My goal is to be with the team and help them."
Soria said he's throwing for eight minutes from 120 feet after throwing for 10 minutes to build up to that distance. Next week, he plans on increasing to 10 minutes from 120 feet.

Eva Longoria has no plans to start a family.
The 40-year-old actress, who has been dating Mexican media mogul Jose Antonio Baston, 46, since late 2013, also claims she has no desire to walk down the aisle ever again.
The former 'Desperate Housewives' star said: "Marriage and kids are not on the horizon."
But Eva, who split from ex-husband Tony Parker in 2010 after three years of marriage after she discovered hundreds of text messages from another woman on his phone, insists she couldn't be happier.
The star, who also has her own home décor line, perfume line and recently released her first cookbook, told InTouch magazine: "Let me tell you, I'm very lucky. I don't think I've ever been happier in my life! My projects, the brand, this home products line. I guess my life is more complete - you're in a different place in your 20s and 30s."
Eva previously admitted she finds it hard to keep up with her "uber private" boyfriend because he is so stylish.
She said: "He's a good dresser, too. I always have to step it up. It's exhausting."

Mars General Circulation Model
The FMS code is the basis for a dynamical model of the Martian atmosphere that is being used to explore fundamental aspects of planetary atmospheric dynamics, to aid in the interpretation of data derived from spacecraft missions and to investigate the current and past Martian climate. The atmosphere is strongly influenced by radiatively active aerosols (mineral dust and water ice clouds) which leads to significant feedbacks between dust lifting, aerosol transport and radiative forcing.
Members involved
John Wilson
This figure shows the distribution of surface albedo (shaded) and topography (contoured) as represented by the cubed-sphere geometry. The horizontal resolution is 0.5 x 0.5 degrees and is relatively uniform over the sphere
The above figure shows the near-surface winds (1 km above ground level) from a portion of the northern-most tile of the cube geometry shown above. The latitude circles are at 10 degree intervals and the wind vectors have been subsampled at 1 degree resolution for clarity. The topographic elevation above the mean areoid is indicated by color shading (km) and the elevated water ice cap at the north pole is clearly evident.
The polar caps play a particularly prominent role in the current Mars water cycle as the residual water ice cap is a major source region for atmospheric water and the edge of the retreating CO2 ice cap is a prime location for frequent dust lifting activity. The layered terrain in the polar regions reflect variations in dust and water ice deposition and thus provide important clues of Mars climate change.

The Rs. 1,000-coin issued in commemoration of 1,000 years of the Brihadeeswarar temple in Thanjavur is the first ever Rs. 1,000 coin issued by the Indian government. So far, the highest denomination issued by the Indian government was Rs. 150.
Though Parliament passed a bill in 1975 to mint coins up to denominations of Rs. 1,000, the government has never issued coins worth more than Rs. 150. A Rs. 5 coin was released when the Thanjavur temple celebrated 1,000 years of its existence in 2010. Never before has the government released Rs. 1,000 coins though 75 commemorative coins have been issued by the government since 1964.
Commemorative coins are released in limited number on various themes. The first of its kind was issued on the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru in 1964. So far coins of denominations Re. 1, Rs. 2, Rs. 5, Rs. 10, Rs. 20, Rs. 50, Rs. 75, Rs. 100 and Rs. 150 have been issued.
The Indian Coinage Act, 1906, had restricted minting coins of denominations above Rs. 100. However, a 1975 bill raised the limit to Rs 1,000, but the government didn't issue coins of higher denominations. Coins of Rs. 150 were issued to celebrate the 150th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore and the 150th year of public institutions including the Income Tax department and the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
Interestingly, the government had released Rs. 1,000 currency notes in 1954 with the image of the Brihadeeswarar temple. The government withdrew Rs. 1,000 denomination notes in 1977 as part of a measure to crack down on black money. The Rs. 1,000 denomination currency notes are now back in circulation.
What makes this specific issue of Rs. 1,000 commemorative coin stand apart from the rest is not just the amount but that these coins have 80 per cent silver content. The rest is copper. The other commemorative coins are 50 per cent silver, 40 per cent copper, five per cent zinc and five per cent nickel.

Escazu, (PressExposure) October 21, 2008 -- The World Series of Poker Europe and European Poker Tour London events have been the talk of the poker world over the past few weeks. Now, the attention shifts thousands of miles westward. The Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, Canada will play host to the World Poker Tourâs North American Poker Championship. Itâs a tournament that is popular with younger poker players because of Canadaâs lower legal gambling age. In the fray at Fallsview will be Court Harrington, Tournament Reporter for PocketFivesLive.com, which provides coverage of online poker players in the biggest live tournaments. Harrington just returned from to London, where PocketFiver Scott âemptyseat88â Fischman finished sixth in the WSOP Europe Main Event.
PocketFivers have dominated recent live poker tournaments. Michael âMartine23â Martin took down the EPT London event, outlasting a field of 596 entrants en route to a £1 million payday. Eric âp3achy_keenâ Liu, who is an instructor for popular poker training site CardRunners, finished fourth in that tournament. PocketFiver Vivek âPsyduckâ Rajkumar won the WPT Borgata event and Amit âamak316â Makhija took second in the WPT Legends of Poker tournament, banking $563,320.
In last yearâs North American Poker Championship, PocketFivers finished 1-2: Scott âBigRiskkyâ Clements took home the first place prize of $1.4 million and defeated Jonathan âFieryJusticeâ Little heads-up; the runner up pocketed $715,000. PocketFiver Barry âbarryg1â Greenstein and Jeff âActionJeffâ Garza also reached the six-handed final table, finishing fourth and sixth, respectively. This yearâs tournament boasts a buy-in of $10,300 CAD. The first of three starting days kicks off on Friday with Day 1A and the tournament plays down to a champion on Thursday, October 16th.
For those players who are headed to Fallsview, coverage on PocketFivesLive.com is completely free. Itâs a great way to let friends and family back home know whatâs going on. To sign up, visit PocketFivesLive.com, home of the best WPT coverage.
In this weekâs Online Poker Rankings update, the top six players remained the same as last week: Alex âAJKHoosier1â Kamberis (#1), Chris âmoorman1â Moorman (#2), Dan âdjk123â Kelly (#3), Shaun âshaundeebâ Deeb (#4), Jim âP0KERPR033â Campbell (#5), and Kevin âBeL0WaB0Veâ Saul (#6). One of the biggest stories of the week was the rapid rise of PocketFiver âTheRealPokerccini,â who vaulted 22 spots from #47 to #25. He has the fourth best PocketFives Leader Board (PLB) score and is ranked 23rd in the Pro Poll. He entered the Rankings last week and piled up 85 cashes in September in tournaments that are tracked for a grand total of nearly $200,000.

I'm really glad he keeps moving since we have heart problems in our family. He knows exercising is good for his health, and it keeps him around to enjoy his grandchildren. Since Father's Day is this Sunday, I was wondering . . .
