An transabdominal cerclage is a surgical procedure called for if a vaginal cerclage fails. This is also placed around the cervix, but behind the vaginal wall. The consistency of the cervix there is much better for holding when constricted by the wrap-around nature of the cerclage. It is preferable to put it place before a next pregnancy, because there's less bleeding, no risk to a baby, and it doesn't interfere with conception. It means you need C-sections thereafter, but if that's the only way to have babies, it's worth it, remarks Dr. DiLeo. "I've had mixed results with the comfort level with an internal cerclage," he says. "Some of my patients were able to work to the day of delivery. Others had cramping throughout the pregnancy, which is a little nerve-racking, but harmless."
Previous Therapeutic Abortion
Abortions performed under sterile surgical conditions don't tend to cause complications in subsequent pregnancies. If there were an overzealous scraping of the uterus during one, says Dr. DiLeo, this could cause scarring and affect implantation. The greater the number of elective abortions, the greater the chance for scarring.
Illegal abortions, on the other hand, "have an unquestioned adverse effect on fertility and pregnancy outcome," according to a National Institute of Health article.
Adhesions, Cysts, and Varicies
Adhesions are excess tissue and scarring caused usually by previous surgery, infection, or endometriosis. If you've had no previous surgeries but are diagnosed with adhesions, then you may have had endometriosis at some point; your doctor can tell if the adhesions look like old burned-out endometriomas. If you've had neither surgery nor endometriosis, then you may have had an infection such as chlamydia in the past. " You might need a test to tell if your tubes are open," says Dr. Dileo.
Adhesions can be removed through laparoscopic surgery, but mild ones are not definite roadblocks to conception, and, notes Dr. Jarrett, "surgical treatment of mild endometriosis [adhesions] is not associated with any improvement in the chances of getting pregnant."
The most common type of ovarian cyst is a follicular cyst. They come the fluid-filled sac in the ovary that contains an egg. In some cycles, this "follicle" grows larger than normal and does not rupture to release the egg. This usually resolves over the course of days to months. Endometrial cysts are full of blood. Dermoid cysts are usually benign tumors containing a mix of cell types. Cysts can be removed from the ovaries without impairing ovarian function. After you've healed, unless you're on the pill, if your cycles are regular then it indicates that you're ovulating well.
Pelvic varices are essentially varicose veins in and around the uterus, that can occur during pregnancy as well as in nonpregnant women. According to an article in The Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, they commonly involve the broad ligaments and neighboring connective tissue and are usually found adjacent to or surrounding the uterus, lower uterine segment, and cervix. Although pelvic varices can be prominent, they rarely cause obstetrical complications, the article says.

A guy in Phoenix walked through security at Sky Harbor Airport in a Speedo... and was told to leave and come back with pants on.
He has an artificial hip which sets off the alarm every time and ends with an enhanced pat down.
This time, he stripped down to a Speedo and wrote I Love TSA on his back. The alarm went off, and agents didn't feel comfortable giving him the enhanced pat down in just his Speedo. They sent him away and told him to come back with clothes on.

Thanks guys
the metals will indeed be a challenge...mainly just keeling the colour on the models...i purity seal them whenerever one is done and when the army is done and based i will do it again...
i have no idea what is enough to keep it on for good...i have a few that chip anyway after a decent coat of purity seal...so if anyone has a good idea or suggestion then im all open for it...
In the meantime i have gathered a lot of sisters...and made a very variable list to begin with..
repentia's, 2 battle sister squads, canoness and command squad, dominions, seraphims, penitent engine, several priests, confessor and conclave...
whatever comes after that will be for fun...
for templars i have some stuff in the pipelines still...and even for the grey knights there is a small expansion coming along soon in the form of a scratch built techmarine.
fun fun fun...
thanks again for the comments...it has been so empty without here...and im glad to see you guys like the work
Awesome work Breaz!
I'm loving the new grey knights, the bit of grey hair on him is a very nice touch!
Great assault marines Breazer. I like your sword brethren a lot too, and the colours on your sisters look promising. Good luck with an all metal army!
Hey, nice work on the armys! Your templars are looking ace, and the GK's are smashing! Also like the scars, but these two are in a different league One can notice the evolution of your technique through this blog, keep it up! And yes, best of luck with the metal sisters
@ coalesce: always nice to hear from you...glad you like these too
@ sneezy: thank you...the metals will be a challenge but i will get it done
@ richter: thank you my friend...i can tell myself too...and i enjoy it a lot...painting is great fun this way...
the metal sisters will hopefully turn out just as well....
for now a templar update joins my brothers
Tell me what you think!
More to update
another small update for the sisters
Sweet. I really like the use of the Blood Angel head here. It's very appropriate.
thanks Seville....i would like one for the grey knights like that too...
should get my hands on another one :P
Dreadnaught is da boss but i still want you to make holes for the bullets to come trough on your weapons :P And that robe on the Mc Priest is very nice! I think it is one of your best so far?
If you want to, try and blackline the crosses of the terminators, sharpen the edges a bit. It is pretty easy to do and is effective since you have black as the background colour.
Cheers Friend!-Kaos
Well let me say, you have alot of talent when it comes to painting, if you are half a General then I can say life is not fair, I can only wish my models would look so good. AS I said they all loog great, and I just spent 40 minutes trolling through all 15 pages, but some of my favorites are, The Grey Knight leader (the first one who looks like a Psycher), The Master of the Grey Knights looks amazing, I would crap my pants seeing him on the table, I also love I mean LOVE the GK Banner bearer, he stands out and the Banner looks great.
The enemies of the Emperor fear many things.
They fear discovery, defeat, despair and death.
Yet there is one thing they fear above all others.
They fear the wrath of the Blood Angels!
Thank you guys
As soon as i have a drill i will get to that...but it has no priority to be honoust...
blacklining the edges is a good idea...i should get me such a pen once for general freehanding....so far all is painted on...and that goes a tad sloppy sometimes... something i did in fantasy a lot... (that will also soon get a bit of a pick up)
Thanks a lot my friend...i am sad to say that i am not really a good general at all....im finally getting the hang of the game a bit...but for me to be good at it i play far too little... and the dude with the banner is also one of my favourites...he has a lot of character...
something you will see returning here soon enough...i have a batch of GK waiting for some colours....and they will be something else
These are also great Breazer. I like the idea of more grey knights a lot.
Thank you sneezy
some more sisters have made it
Nice! Love the red. I don't really like these models, but you've made them look great.
Don't forget about FB!
Thanks Seville...i didnt see your message earlier...but it has been fixed now
The latest sisters look great, really like them.

Review: Bubble Worlds is a mediocre physics game at best
Brickbreaker-esque game Bubble Worlds will keep you busy through hundreds of levels, even though they all feel the same. Bubble Worlds is polished enough to win a few fans, but the difficultly level goes from zero to 60 too quickly. It's enough to turn a lot of gamers off.
In this game, you shoot bubbles to try to free trapped bananas. When you match three or more bubbles of the same color, they pop and send any connected bubbles flying. It sounds bizarre, but it's actually easy to figure out. You'll be able to breeze through most … Read more

IVAR "Good Old Days" Bookcase
Materials: IVAR, decorative moulding, mdf, paint
Description: A boring corner next to our two-wing bedroom door had to be pimped. Ivar fitted perfectly in there, but it needed some old fashioned look to go with the 19th century door. The Ivar skeletal structure is 30cm deep and 226cm high. We placed a mdf panel on the sides and on the top. After that we painted it in the same colour like our wall.

Lake County forest staff finds rare aquatic species
A Mississippi grass shrimp found in the Des Plaines River near Libertyville in Lake County. The species is unusual to the area and indicates improved water quality. | Photo courtesy of the Lake County Forest Preserve
Updated: February 19, 2013 1:58PM
After almost 20 years with the Lake County Forest Preserve District, it takes a pretty unusual find to wow Natural Resource Manager Jim Anderson.
But a tiny crustacean, measuring just one-inch in length, stopped Anderson in his tracks during winter identification in late January.
"Wow, I haven't seen these since back in the early '80s," Anderson recalled saying. "That's a freshwater shrimp — a Mississippi grass shrimp."
Anderson hadn't seen a fresh-water shrimp since his undergraduate days in Carbondale, where he studied streams and aquatic invertebrates. The positive identification of Palaimonetes Kadikensis in the Des Plaines River in southern Lake County is big news for ecologists and conservationists.
This is the first documented occurrence of this species in the county, Anderson said. While the shrimp are indigenous to the area, Anderson speculates they probably have been unable to survive here since the 1800s.
"Fresh-water shrimp is a species that's pretty sensitive to poor water quality. Finding it in the Des Plaines River is an indication that the quality of water in the Des Plaines River is improving," he said.
When the forest preserve's natural resource crew snagged a dozen or so of the translucent specimens with nets last summer during their annual sampling process, they realized the critters that scurried across the river bottom like a crayfish were some sort of crustacean. But they didn't know until this winter, when Anderson could finally put a name to what, exactly, they had found.
The find is rare for northeastern Illinois, as Mississippi grass shrimp can't survive in sediment in the water and need healthy vegetation to survive. The only other known area locations are in the Kankakee River and Otter Creek in Kane County.
"They're much more abundant in the Kankakee River system, which is a high-quality river," Anderson said.
The forest preserve alerted the Illinois Natural History Survey and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to its find.
Lawrence Page, of the Illinois Natural History Survey, said the Mississippi grass shrimp "almost always is associated with, and is most abundant in, living aquatic vegetation."
The Army Corps will add the Lake County find to a crustacean species database the organization is creating, Anderson said.
Besides looking for more shrimp this summer, the forest preserve crew will expand its focus.
"We're going to try to look at mussels and clams that are there," Anderson said. "They're difficult to collect and difficult to identify."
No matter what else they uncover, Anderson expects the Mississippi grass shrimp will always hold a position of prominence.
"This is kind of an important one," he said.

Before you buy
For black and white sketches, use a regular pencil.
If you want to do black and white, you'll be able to use a regular pencil.
If you want to make a bright mural, you'll need to buy supplies that come in bright colors like paint, colored pencils or crayons.
Choose colors and styles that work for you. Your artwork always turns out better when you pick items that fit your personality.
My favorite supplies to work with are colored pencils, oil pastels and paints.
Supplies range in cost from inexpensive to pricy, so you have to be careful in choosing the best art supplies for your projects.
This purse is actually a clay pot.
How to pay for supplies
Because supplies cost money, you will need to find a way to pay for them.
Most kids have to earn the money, like me.
Here are some ideas of ways to earn money to buy your art supplies:
- Do chores at home for your parents.
- Do jobs for your neighbors.
- Get creative about earning money.
You could even ask for the supplies as gifts from family and friends.
Want to learn more?When I grow up, I think I would enjoy being an artist.
If you enjoy creating beautiful projects that you can share with others, maybe being an artist is right for you!

Burr Ridge artist still learning after 45 years of painting
Bob Barnes says he doesn't paint under a deadline but just takes his time and enjoys the process. Barnes is a retired manufacturer's representative who enjoys painting watercolors in his spare time. | Jon Langham~for Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: March 25, 2013 1:19AM
BURR RIDGE — At 40-something, Bob Barnes had never put a paintbrush to paper. Since then the 85-year-old has spent countless hours turning blank surfaces into works of art. A longtime resident of Clarendon Hills, Barnes and his wife, Diane, moved to King-Bruwaert's Godair Park retirement community in Willowbrook eight years ago. One of his paintings hangs over the fireplace in Suzanne's Place, the area of KB House that serves people with dementia.
Q. Your paintings have been used as banners at KB House and Godair Park. How did that come about?
A. When I arrived at KB eight years ago they asked me if I would participate in an art show. Of course, I said yes. Bonnie Kohout (marketing director at KB House) liked what she saw. She has used two of my paintings so far.
Q. Do you plan to do more?
A. If she wants them, sure.
Q. Was art a part of your professional background or education?
A. No. I was a manufacturer's rep. I was in industrial sales.
Q. Do you continue to take painting classes?
A. I took classes at Hinsdale Center for the Arts. Now, I'm taking classes from the DuPage Forest Preserve District at Mayslake. Classes force me to paint, so I just keep taking classes.
Q. Where do you sell your work?
A. Right now the only art show I'm doing is the Forest Preserve. I did that in October. I'm an Illinois Artisan since 1996, so I have sold paintings at the Thompson Center. The state has three artisan shops.
I've done the library circuit in years past — Hinsdale, Oak Brook, Downers.
Q. How much time do you spend painting?
A. I only do a few paintings a year now. Many of them are very detailed. It takes me a long time to paint.
Q. What is your favorite thing to paint?
A. I don't have a real favorite. Diane wanted botanicals, so I did some botanicals. I like to paint flowers. You can do one flower at a time.
Q. You have many paintings of ships. Why?
A. It's hard to do water. It's a challenge. Every painting I do is a challenge.
Q. What keeps you painting?
A. You can always get better, and it keeps me from watching the tube. It's something to do, and if you do it long enough, you get reasonably good at it.

Why your employees and or workers require Work Wear
Sporting work uniforms in the office or place of work happens to be quite common in many corporations and businesses. In fact, they're an necessary component of any worker's outfit. Work uniform are outfits that are not just used to present comfort and ease to the workers while they are carrying out their own task however it offers them security too. Since the majority workers are usually exposed to a number of risks while at work, they need to be provided garments that keep them secured. A lot of regulations nowadays demand firms and businesses to provide safety work wear to their employees. Firms comply with this rule since Work Wear not merely helps to keep their very own workers seem put-together and also nice but probably because they can steer clear of lawsuits on this method.
Work Wear is really a phrase that is used generally to provide a specific description to the kind of garments used by folks undertaking manual labour jobs. Individuals often label this type of clothing to be "construction clothing. When laborers as well as staff members dress up appropriately, they advertise a positive impression in to the firm they happen to be working for. Furthermore, based on a couple of trustworthy studies, workers really feel a whole lot better regarding their work while they are provided clean, comfortable and also good looking work clothes.
Work Wear may differ in line with what type of job somebody seems to have and what firm she or he works in. Some firms will only require their very own workers to put on t shirts as well as denims, while others will require their very own workers to don lab jackets, coveralls and the like. One thing that will normally be obvious in most uniforms happens to be the custom logo. The custom logo is usually seen imprinted and / or stitched over these kinds of garments. There is a specific kind of clothes depending on the type of job you are doing. There are also various work wear for men and women.
Men's work uniforms generally are a lot more rugged and sturdy in comparison with that of women's. This is because men are more frequently subjected to harmful kinds of works. They are doing a lot more physically demanding, hard wearing work than females and that's why their work shirt and even work pants tend to be thicker and also strong. Women's work wear aren't as long lasting like men's however they can easily stand up to abrasion too.
Work Wear does not just check with clothing placed on the body. They're also used to refer to clothing accessories used by employees as well. These kinds of equipment might include the examples below:
HATS—hard hats, sun hats, sun visors, beanies (for cold weather) all secure the worker's head from the high temperature, the cold temperatures as well as out of falling dirt.
Shoes or boots—employees should also defend their own toes by putting on work wear boots. These type of shoes are usually sturdy, water resistant and strong. This will defend their very own feet from incidents and even harm during work
EAR PROTECTORS—most of these might come in the form of ear muffs and also earplugs. These add-ons help protect the worker's ear from high levels of noise existing at your workplace.
EYE PROTECTORS—aside from guarding the hearing, your feet and the head, it is also important for employees to guard their own eyes. A lot of dust particles are frequently contained in construction jobs if they get into the eyes, they might cause damage. Protecting your eyes with the help of safety goggles thus remains required.
If you are interested in purchasing Work Wear for the workers, you don't have to worry a lot about finding out where you can get them. There are a lot of work wear stores around. Some would even offer work wear for less when you purchase them by the bulk. The web can provide you details on some other workwear shops also.

I pulled out my desktop that's been packed away since late 2010 and tried to update. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it was a little too much at once. It appears to have mostly-upgraded (the menus were changed, etc.) but I couldn't open any programs, so I rebooted. Now it's stuck at the boot screen and I don't know what to do. I tried running it normally as well as in safe mode, and neither make it.Suggestions?
Usehername , did you check your media after the burn? "md5sum".How did you burn the .ISO? What software and at what speed?Also, have you in anyway verified that the CD/DVD player works? This is just a very short list of things someone might need to know when trying to diagnose your problem.
KNOWN FAILURES:"Bringing up interface wlan0: Error for wireless requrest "Set Encode" (8BZA) : SET failed on device wlan0 : Invalid argument. FAILEDBringing up interface wlan1: rt18187 device does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. FAILEDStarting Avahi daemon: FAILED
....I am assuming that I screwed it up when I tried to update from 2010 to 2012.02 rather than the CD/DVD. It half-succeeded, as I mentioned above. I imagine I interfered with stuff that I need to resolve.
I doubt that the state of your "current" install is interfering with your inability to boot from the CD.
a) Your bios is not trying the CDROM first
b) A bad burn
c) A hardware failure. [/i][/color]

Kazakhstan GM quits
Kazakhstan GM Shumi Babaev quits his job despite the victory at IHWC Division I and the return of Kazakhstan in the Elite Division.
"I resigned, I can'tforgive that we did not come to the Olympics. I think it's my fault. It was necessary to include more influence to defend their point of view and to get results. I think it is wrong to stay and occupy this position. Perhaps there are more worthy people who can perform all the tasks further, because to remain in the elite will be even harder. For this to work, we need support, and then everything will be done as scheduled" said Babaev

Jesse Jackson Jr. pleads guilty in campaign case
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., holding back tears, entered a guilty plea Wednesday in federal court to criminal charges that he engaged in a scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items. He faces 46 to 57 months in prison under a plea deal with prosecutors.
Before entering the plea, Jackson told U.S. District Judge Robert L. Wilkins, "I've never been more clear in my life" in his decision to plead guilty.
Later, when Wilkins asked if Jackson committed the acts outlined in court papers, the former congressman replied, "I did these things."
Jackson's father, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, watched the proceedings in the front row, hands folded, with no expression and virtually no movements.
Sentencing is scheduled for June 28.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. entered a guilty plea Wednesday in federal court to criminal charges that he engaged in an alleged scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items.
Both the former Illinois congressman and his wife, Sandra, had agreed to plead guilty in deals with federal prosecutors. Jackson's guilty plea was to a conspiracy charge. His wife was due in court later on a charge of filing false joint federal income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2011 that knowingly understated the income the couple received. The Jacksons were appearing separately before U.S. District Judge Robert L. Wilkins.
Both Jackson and his wife face maximum penalties of several years in prison; he also faces hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and forfeitures.
Jackson, 47, used campaign money to buy items including a $43,350 gold-plated men's Rolex watch and $9,587.64 worth of children's furniture, according to court papers filed in the case. His wife spent $5,150 on fur capes and parkas, the court documents said. Continued...
When prosecutors charged the couple last Friday, the ex-congressman said he fully accepts the responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes he has made. Tom Kirsch, an attorney for Jackson's wife, said she has signed a plea agreement with federal prosecutors and would plead guilty to one tax count.
The conspiracy charge against the former congressman carries a maximum statutory penalty of up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and other penalties. The charge against Sandra Jackson carries a maximum of three years in prison. However, one of her lawyers, Tom Kirsch, says the plea agreement "does not contemplate a sentence of that length." Sandra Jackson was a Chicago alderman before she resigned last month during the federal investigation.
In court papers filed against Jackson on Friday, prosecutors said that upon conviction he must forfeit $750,000, plus tens of thousands of dollars' worth of memorabilia items and furs. The memorabilia includes a football signed by U.S. presidents, a Michael Jackson fedora, and memorabilia of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Lee — all from a company called Antiquities of Nevada.
As the hearing for Jackson got under way Wednesday, newly filed court papers disclosed that the judge had offered to disqualify himself from handling the cases against Jackson and his wife.
As a Harvard Law School student, Wilkins said he had supported the presidential campaign of Jackson's father, civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, and that as an attorney in 1999, Wilkins had been a guest on a show hosted by Jackson's father.
In the newly filed court papers, prosecutors and lawyers for both Jesse Jackson Jr. and Sandra Jackson said they were willing to proceed with the cases with Wilkins presiding. Judicial ethics require that a judge disqualify himself if his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

July 28, 1999 Amherst, Ohio c m m t»f et 3 -t — < n rTi ^ ./I o Woman returns to funeral business started by family by QLEN MLLER Nawa-Timas reporter Mary Misencik Burik has embarked in a business career in which few women have yet to venture alone. She has to be a compassionate, understanding businessperson at a time when most people are in an emotional upheaval and are grieving over the loss of a loved one. Burik is Amherst's first funeral director to buy and operate her own funeral home and one of the few female funeral home directors in the Greater Cleveland area. The daughter of Joseph A. and Marilyn Misencik, she purchased the funeral home from her parents in early January and recently completed an extensive remodeling of the historic structure. It includes a show room for caskets, a feature that is becoming more common in funeral homes. A former accountant, Burik, 39, was raised on the business of burying people. Her great grandfather, Paul Misencik, and grandfather, Joseph Misencik, also were funeral directors. Living at a funeral home might make a lot of people skittish or uncomfortable. Not her. She and her two sisters, Anita Smirz, and Lucy Grea- ney, and brother, Joseph, . grew up in their parents' funeral home in Lakewood. "That was our way of life. It's not always the most optimal way because it wasn't a normal 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. job that had regularity, but we made it work," she explained. "We were always busy." In addition to being on call seven days a week, her father ran an ambulance service, a side business many funeral homes used to be in before the advent of emergency medical technicians and paramedics. The Misenciks purchased the funeral home from the late Wayne Garland in 1982. Burik is the fourth generation of Misenciks to become what used to be commonly referred to decades ago as a mortician. Her brother Joseph also has a funeral director's license but currently is pursuing a career in contracting. She's had lots of experience in the last few years. She worked as a funeral director at her father's Lakewood funeral home for a few years before deciding to go on her own. But by purchasing the Amherst funeral home, she is keeping the Misencik name while retaining the historical significance of the Garland name. On her list of things to do is membership in the Amherst Historical Society and the Amherst Downtown Business Association. Even though she has always been a history buff, she especially is interested in the latter because of the historical CONTINUED on paga 2 Mary Misencik Burik stands outside the funeral home business which she-learned from her father.

He said this is the first time Amherst has joined the nationwide program. It was started several year ago and is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and 9Qi lfat*twion, the manufacturers of a variety of waxes. Makruski said National Night Out was created to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness and generate support for and partici pation in local anti-crime efforts. A lit porch light signifies neighborhood spirit and cooperation with police against crime. In addition, it helps criminals realize neighborhoods are organized and fighting back against crime, he said. The parents of children are especially urged to take note of the meaning of the event and participate by turning on their outside house lights, Makruski added. Future Nights Out may include special events to help create a partnership with police and promote the event's importance. Volunteers will distribute small door hangers to about 1,000 residents reminding diem of the night. They will include coupons for S.E. Johnson products, including Windex. Teacher claims he was forced out by QLEN MILLER Naws-Timas raporter After 27 years of teaching children with learning disabilities, Harry James has been forced to exit his profession because of another kind of disability — blindness. An Amherst teacher for more than 21 yean of his career, James has been left legally blind by diabetes, a family genetic trait he hoped not to inherit. Sadly, he did develop diabetes about four years ago, but managed to continue teaching at Nord Junior High School until earlier this year. It was then when school officials thought his blindness had progressed to the point that it impaired his teaching ability. James has filed a discrimination suit against the school board, claiming it is discriminating against him because of his blindness. It has been filed through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Both the commission and school officials have declined comment because of the litigation. James said he will never forget the day now retired principal Bill Mariey reluctantly suggested he seek disability retirement, something he didn't want to do. His last day of teaching was Feb. 12. • James specialized in teaching lower-level functioning students, those who could not learn above a certain grade level. He loved teaching and had hoped to continue for three more years. To this day, he believes he could have regardless of the pressures and fears expressed by some parents to school administrators. Some supported him while others seriously questioned his ability to continue the demanding job of teaching their children. Some parents supported him while others didn't regardless of his reputation for being an excellent teacher. "The grief and the hostilities that I went through were such that the best thing I could do was step out of the classroom," he explained. "It's -i! I '/I'maw, Harry James sad. I'd like to think I could still teach but, even with accommoda- tions, there was a lot of pressure and concern about me being able to do the job." His diabetes was discovered during a routine blood test in 1995. For two years, it was border line. Diabetes normally attacks weak areas of: of the body. His were his eyes. It didn't begin to bother his eyes until about two years, but steadily grew worse. He cannot see clearly; for more than four or five feet even • with thick glasses.

I wanted something less bulky than at cotton crew t-shirt to wear under sweaters and this works great. the micro fiber isn't too hot either. good fit and it's a bit longer so it does not come untucked.

Micro Modal Short Sleeve Crew
This shirt meets its expectations. the quality is great, the fit is perfect, espically for someone tall and skinny. The material is the softest material that I have ever felt and it feels great against your skin. I would highly recommend this product to Calvin Klein customers!!

Looks great. Feels great.
The material is sub-standard. It's already starting to pill.

A very white short sleeve crew
The material is wonderful but I don't like the colors. So, I dyed them and they came out beautiful...and the material is still wonderful. I tried the other styles (different material) and I returned them. I like Micro Modal...

More than just food was served during a recent holiday event at the Veterans Memorial Park fellowship hall — hope was on the menu as well.
Various businesses and other organizations lent their support to an Easter Seals effort at the park which allowed more than 50 people to experience the true spirit of Christmas.
They are clients of the Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACTT) program serving residents of Surry and Yadkin counties, which is provided by Easter Seals/United Cerebral Palsy North Carolina & Virginia Inc.
That program provides comprehensive mental health and substance-abuse services to the chronic and persistently mentally ill.
Due to the severity of their mental illness, oftentimes these individuals are the most excluded, isolated and withdrawn from their community, according to Susan Crisp, a therapist for the local ACTT unit based on West Lebanon Street, and Melissa DeHaven, who also is involved with the program.
However, due to the generosity of businesses and other community entities, a holiday meal was enjoyed by persons who might otherwise have had little to no hope during this holiday season, the Easter Seals officials said. The event was "an opportunity for the entire community to connect as human beings and remind us that we must support and care for one another in order to keep hope on the horizon," in the view of one observer.
"It wasn't just the meal — there was fellowship and gifts," Crisp said Friday.
Each person who attended received a gift, which included winter coats for everyone. The total cost of the event, counting the food, gifts and rental of the meeting place, was about $6,500.
This was made possible through a collaborative effort led by the Assertive Community Treatment Team.
"Belk made a huge donation," Crisp said of the Mayberry Mall store that was just one of the supporters. Others were the American Legion Riders of Mount Airy and the Grace Moravian Outreach Committee.
Additional community collaborators included Mayflower Seafood, Holly Springs Cafe, Renfro Corp., Trio Restaurant and Bar, Bluebird Diner, Barney's Cafe and Mount Airy Meat Center.
With the ACTT program designed to provide community-based mental health services to improve the clients' overall quality of life, one avenue for meeting this goal is through identifying and collaborating with local partners.
That was true of the recent event in which the public-private partnership united with the common goal of instilling hope where there has historically been none, according to team members.
The harsh economic conditions and high unemployment now gripping the area presents an extra obstacle for the mentally ill and others in the target group, but there was no hint on those problems at the recent gathering, they agreed.

So, recently my Gen. light came on in my 63 Ambassador. The rebuilt alternator went bad, but I replaced it. I also replaced the Volt Regulator.Someone at one point put on a 64 version volt regulator, but it didn't have problems when I first got it. The volt regulator does have one wire not connected, but the old one worked fine without it. The gen light is still on. I redid the connectors that plug into the alternator too. Any tips to why the alternator is still not charging?
The light is not simply just stuck on, my battery is completely dead about a day later, after driving it around. Engine is a 327. |

Hello - and welcome to the forum.
Is the glow faint or very bright? If it's faint, you might have the infamous "Rambler Glow", which is fairly common in these cars when something causes the diodes get old and leak. Here's a informational page on this. (Thanks to Billd)

I'll be honest, I'm not sure if it's "bright" or not, it was never on until whatever this problem was, I can't see it too well when it turns on, I have to cup my hand over it to see it, but then again I'm colorblind. I know very little about wiring, but looking at the link, you're thinking it's the alternator again? This is the second one I've got, and both were a rebuilt from Napa.
I'm once again hoping it's something simple and not a short somewhere. I just want to know where the power is getting drained from, or a lack of not charging at all. |

Any way you can give a model number of the alternator and regulator?
Have you seen my pages SEdmonds posted a link to - and then there's this one right here on the forum about regulators? http://theamcforum.com/forum/alternator-and-regulator-id-and-connectors_topic13346.html The info on the link I gave is not yet complete. There was also a R2-AM2 that was used - much like the R2AM1 but it has the black tag instead of the teal tag as shown in the page in the forum. It's a bit confusing at times, as Motorola also had an R2-1, which was their version of the R2AM1 they sold to AMC, but it has 3 connectors - the typical 3 wire bullet connector like the TVR series, then 2 yellow wires that take the place of the external resistor that was used with some models. I'd have to dig back into my old stuff and see if I have the specifics on the 1963 year vehicles - to see what was correct and proper, but if you have pictures, or can refer to the link I gave in this post and tell me if the regulator matches any of those, it would help. If there's a bit of a glow, it can be multiple things - bad diode, or, maybe in this case, it's not wired correctly for the alternator and regulator that's on the car. NAPA rebuilts - or ANY rebuilt, I have very little faith and confidence in ESPECIALLY after going through a couple I'm doing for a fellow - one was "rebuilt" by someone who had to label the diodes, meaning they were not able to tell them apart, or didn't have a meter where they could simply test them and see which was which, the other was a "remanufactured" unit - and it was rather scary inside.....and it took a lot longer to disassemble due to the crap methods they used to throw it together. I had to make a puller to get the rear bearing out of the case, it's supposed to be a slip-fit into the o-ring retainer back there, and the front one was held in with a funky snap ring that had no ends - I thought I was going to break the front frame getting it apart enough to get in there and get that snap ring out. What fools. Those, along with a couple of other "remanufactured" units I've received as cores make me shudder when I think of how some of those things are done. I can't and won't say they are all that way, but I've seen enough of them----- where I even doubt any more if a person is getting what they think they are getting with a reman. If it's like they do carburetors, all the pieces are tossed into buckets, and cleaned in batches, then they pull parts and start building.... and you hope they all match and you get what you are supposed to have for your year and model. If I am correct, your year will have a 3 wire regulator - orange, green and black wires. The BLACK wire is the ground to the alternator. That must be connected. The green goes to the spade connector at the brushes, and the orange goes to the aux or regulator terminal on the alternator. If any of those are left off, it won't function. I believe then that there's a yellow wire that connects to the same terminal the regulator orange wire connects to - the yellow comes from ignition and goes through a resistor. At least that's how I seem to remember it. Any of that sound familiar? If you are color blind - can you tell any of those colors? (my understanding is that there are different types, a co-worker at work, a programmer/developer, can see certain colors, but others are shades of grey or something like that...) Or can you get a picture for us? |

I think the output diode is the culprit, and if you had a rebuilt alt, and did something like oh I don't know jump start the car....say bye bye to your rebuild, those things are crap I would rather take my chances with a 45-50 OEM alt than a rebuild, those never seem to die.

The Samsung Stratosphere for Verizon Wireless gives you 4G LTE speeds with a 3G price tag! The Stratosphere features a full slideout QWERTY keyboard for easy messaging, e-mailing and social networking. Multitasking is a breeze with the Samsung Stratosphere. This device is excellent for individuals who want to talk on the phone while browsing the web, downloading apps, or using mobile hotspot with up to eight Wi-Fi enabled devices! The Samsung Stratosphere also includes a 1GHz processor for speedy response times, a 5MP camera/camcorder for capturing important moments, and even a front-facing camera for video chats! If you are looking for an impressive 4G smartphone but don't want to break the bank, the Samsung Stratosphere for Verizon Wireless is a great choice!
The Samsung Stratosphere sports a bright 4-inch display.
What cell phone compares to this model? It has a similar form factor and user interface as the Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint.
Why should I get this phone? You want a powerful Android smartphone with Verizon 4G connectivity that can be used for work, but it also has enough entertainment features that its fun to use.
In a nutshell: The Samsung Stratosphere has a lot to offer including 4G connectivity, a speedy 1GHz processor, and something not often found on Android smartphones a slide out tactile QWERTY keyboard.
The Samsung Stratosphere may not be the slimmest Android smartphone in the Verizon line-up, but thats for good reason. It has something not found in a lot of other Android smartphones: a slide-out 5-line tactile QWERTY keyboard. We appreciated the spaciousness of the keyboard and that there is plenty of room surround the chiclet-style keys. While we rarely encountered mistypes when using the keyboard we did find ourselves often hitting the period button instead of the space key. There are also quite a few thoughtful additions for the keyaboard including four arrows for navigating though menus and placing the cursor, dedicated Home, Menu, Back, and Search Keys that mirror the four keys found at the base of the Stratosphere when the keyboard is hidden, one-touch access for adding an emoticon to a message, and the top line of the keyboard are for numeric keys. When this keyboard is in use the cell phone screen automatically goes into horizontal mode. Of course there is a touchscreen keyboard that supports SWYPE. You can use either keyboard to send messages, write notes, or search for stuff on the web. Additionally, the on-screen dial pad is big and easy to read.
The slide-out 5-line tactile keyboard is spacious.
Making Calls: During phone conversations we could hear callers pretty clearly and callers said they had a similar experience on their end. However, we recommend locking the screen once a call is initiated since we did occasionally push the End Call button when we held the phone too close to the face.
Operating System: The smartphone comes loaded with the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, sports a 1GHz processor, which makes for a responsive user experience. Along with the included 4GB microSD card (it will support up to a 32GB microSD card), the smartphone has 4GB of internal memory so theres enough room out-of-the-box to store music, photos, videos, and more. You can switch between five home screens and launch applications without delay. This also means video playback is smooth and seamless. Overall, the user interface is fairly straightforward and icon friendly.
At the base of the screen are four quick launch buttons for Apps, Phone/Contacts, Messaging, and Applications. . Verizon has included a few apps on the cell phone such as the Blockbuster, Amazon Kindle, the companys Backup Assistant, Lets Golf 2, NFL Mobile, Slacker Radio, and of course access to the various V CAST offerings. We should also note that this cell phone will work with corporate e-mail accounts, and offers VPN access.
The 5-megapixel camera is loaded with features.
Picture taken at the camera's highest settings.
Connectivity: The Samsung Stratosphere works with Verizons 4G LTE network. Its fast. When theres a 4G connection available theres no need to use a WiFi for a faster connection
The 4G LTE SIM card is smaller than those found in most phones.
Battery Life: The battery life performance on the Samsung Stratosphere was on par with other Android 4G smartphones. We were able to go a full day before needing to recharge the cell phone, when we had the cell phones screen set at full brightness and used it to check e-mail, surf the web, listen to music, play games, and take a few pictures.
With its 4G connectivity, corporate-centric features such as VPN access, and slide-out QWERTY tactile keyboard, the Samsung Stratosphere is a solid choice for business users.

Since purchasing the Stratosphere in January of 2012, I have taken it back 7 times. Once even sending it to Samsung in Texas. My verizon tech was kind enough to lend me his phone for the 3 weeks while it was being "fixed" so I wasn't without a phone..WORST PHONE EVER. I have tried everything with no success from Verizon. Reading these other reviews has eased my mind cause I was beginning to think I have a chip in my brain that is causing all the distortion...teehee People sound like aliens, or I am sounding like I am in a tunnel. It randomly mutes or just hangs up. Tons of crackling and loud, loud popping noises that "they" say has never been reported with this phone...ha....They should read these reviews. I am canceling all 3 of my contract dates when they come up, and will never, ever deal with a Verizon contract again. Oh, there is also condensation that happens around the battery when the phone overheats. I was told that is a safety feature built into the smart phones to protect the phone from burning up...Never heard of this one!!!! Ok, thanx for letting me vent. I have been going crazy for 8 months and now I feel so much better.!!!!

I bought this phone when it came out in October, it worked great for the first few months, then the software issues started, the phone shuts its self off even though fully charged, while you are using it it shuts off, data service keeps cutting out. I am on the 4th phone replacement and all have the same issue. Verizon states there are no known issues, but through contacts i have with verizon, i have been told there are major issues with this phone and they have been waiting for 6 months for a program patch to fix it. Until the software is fixed, don't buy this phone, unless you want a big headache!

I bought this phone and it worked great for a little bit, but then a month later when I text with the touch screen, the spacebar starts to delete everything I type and the "i" button kicks me out of the text message.

The call quality is HORRIBLE! If you want clarity RUN away from this phone. Verizon and Samsung refuse to acknowledge the call clarity issue. Had one of our two phones replaced & nothing changed. Our old cheap flip phone had awesome clarity. This phone is 100 steps back in time. These billion dollar corporations offered the solutions of sending in the phone for them to "check it out" leaving me with no phone at all OR I could buy another phone. That's how Verizon [& Samsung] treat loyal customers.We are warning all of our friends and will not purchase another Samsung piece of junk product of any type. Shame on Verizon for selling these phones & leaving us high and dry with a lousy phone and some lame email suggesting that the problem is something other than the substandard CLARITY. They do not stand behind the products they sell in their stores.
