I was left undiagnoised with c diff for over 3 years, it almost took my life. I look back and was in the hospital every 5 weeks for the whole year of 2008 and finally had takasubo cardiomiopathy and stroked from the stress on my body in 2009. It took over 5 months of very expensive antibiotics to finally be free from this bacteria.

Is c.diff contagious? When I worked in a hospital setting there were so many precautions if a person had it. Just wondering if there was more than one strain that you know of that wasn't contagious. i'm glad you are better now.

So sorry for your ordeal. I am being treated for c diff right now. No success yet. One thing everyone should probably be doing is to wash the outside of melons, vegetables and fruits before cutting them. Who knows for sure where we contacted this.

My husband ended up in the hospital for two weeks because of this bug. He was 26 years old, very healthy, in fact our family doctor said "the healthiest he'd seen in a while". He had been prescribed antibiotics for bronchitis and when he was off of them he couldn't even get up out of bed without help. He's almost 180 lbs. 6'2" tall and I couldn't help him by myself, he actually passed out a couple of times. At first he doctors brushed him off saying it was a really bad flu. Then finally we went to the emergency room and they said it could be his apendix because of the abdominal pain. Finally after 2 days of being admitted they figured out it was c diff. It took him almost two weeks to get well enough to come home.
I truly believe you have to be your own advocate and speak up when it comes to your health because sometimes getting a correct diagnosis isn't that easy. Since then, any time we've been on antibiotics we take probiotics and we recommend that to everyone we know. People really need to be aware of ALL the consequences of taking antibiotics not just the 'positive' ones but the risks as well.

our doctors told us is that this is a naturally occuring bug we have in our intestines but it remains under control due to the good bacteria that is present. Some atibiotics can kill this good bacteria which then gives way for the cdiff to grow out of control and then you get sick…

castrokg…that makes sense; thanks.
C-Diff! My son was about 16 years old, he is not 18 and thriving in college, when he had a c-diff infection. It all started with an absess tooth! Who Knew. He was lactose intol. and has IBS so to have bathroom issues was "normal" for him. I will never forget when he called me in the bathroom to look at the blood and mucus — that was not normal! Lucky for us his GI doctor knew what it was right away. We first just tried yogurt – no help. Then a 14 days of antibiotic — some releif but it came back. I have never seen anyone this sick who was not hospitalized – it was awful! He ran to the bathroom at least 15 times a day… everything that went in came right out. He had no energy and lacked color in this sking. Then he went for another round of antibiotic.. and again seemed like some relief. As the symptoms returned we found the probiotic VSL#3 – and started him taking that daily – and before you know it – he was back to normal! It was expensivie – but worth every penny we spent – I got my son back after 4 months of illness. Lucky for us the other 5 of us did not become infected – and my 80 year old mother is in the house with us. My heart goes out to anyone infected – and my advise it — don't take anitbiotic unless needed, wash your hands, and talk to your doctor about other options. VSL#3 was approved by his GI doctor – we did not do this without his approval.

My 60 yr old mother-in-law had routine hip replacement surgery at a Kansas City Hospital in November, 1008. She went into the hospital on a Wednesday and 5 days later she was dead. She died on the following Mon. from Sepsis which was caused by C-Diff. She was mostly healthy, had previously had 2 knee replacement surgeries and new something was not right 2 days after the surgery when she was not feeling good. On Thur (Day 2) and Fri (Day 3) she was recovering pretty normal. They were "a little concerned about her not having a "regular bowel movement). Buy day 4 they think that "there could possibly be a blockage in her intestiones, and on day 5 she was moved into "intensive care" so that thay could keep a "better eye on her". By 3am she had gone into cardiac arrest and by 5:30am she was dead. Needless to say, we were devasted! My questions is what, if anything are the hospitals suppose to know about this super germ. We felt all along that they were not taking propper care of her in regards to how sick she became in just a matter of days, and can't help but wonders how they missed this diagnosis. Does anyone know if any of the responsibility lies within the hospital itself? We were never really told where it came from……..I understand how the C-Diff as well as the Sepsis evolves, I just can't help but wonder if the hopsital was resonsible in some way of allowing her to contract it or if possibly they were giving her antibiotic that cause the C-Diff to begin multiplying? If there's anyone out there with any information on a family member, friend or loved one and . are willing to share. It would be great to hear if there are other similiar stories out there.

I had a back surgery and before surgery they give you a antibiotic shot, to help with staff and that sort of thing. But what happens when you take an antibiaotic it kills the good bacteria in your gut and lets the bad take over if you have been exposed to it (whcih can be anywhere, but rest homes and hospitals at the top).
melissaw72 4592 posts
That's a good point about the not reporting c diff to anyone; I don't think it is either…I guess it happens so frequently it may be considered something "that just happens", unlike someone who OD's on ie, tylenol. Those types of things have to be reported. And I wouldn't think that taking an antibiotic one time would kill the normal bacteria in your gut, but you are right…it could happen.
Last year I started having extreme pain in my abdomen. I had lower left back pain with fever, with the pain going to the front. I kept having to go to the bathroom. There was blood in the urine. They thought it was the kidneys and put me on antibiotics. The pain became unbearable and the trips to the bathroom became more frequent. I saw blood and infection in my stools. My back was hurting and my legs and knee caps felt like they were on fire. I finally passed out from the pain. I couldn't hardly walk because my knees hurt so bad. I called the doctor and they said there was a bad flu going around. From September 27th through November 8th, I had one MRI, two CAT scans, x-rays on my back, blood work, and a colonoscopy. They saw I had a lot of infection and my colon was ulcerated. I had lost 10 pounds, was in so much pain, and couldn't eat or drink. They admitted me to the hospital. Only then did they realize I had C.diff. I really didn't care at the point if I was going to die. They put so much medicine in me, I was vomitting. Everything tasted funny. I was told I couldn't have any visitors, and I could not have any rommates. I was there for 2 days, then allowed to go home to recuperate. I was told to use only one bathroom in the house and not to have my family use it during the time I recuperated. I slept all the time and was very tired. I will never know what caused this for sure, but I know one month before this happened, I was on antibiotics. I had to give up one of my part-time jobs because I was so tired. It was frightening because I wasn't sure if I was going to die. I got C.diff back about two weeks after I supposedly was over it. I am very cautious now about everything I touch and keep my house very sanitized. (The stool sample was what I feel like determined what I had. This is the only thing they requested when I got it back the second time.)

Today is Sunday, March 27, 2011. My 20 month old son has had c diff since August 2010. They didnt diagnose him until December 2010. First he took flagyl (compound medication metronidazole) for 2 weeks – it didnt cure. Then he took compound vancomycin – still didnt go away and lots of diahrea. We tried flagyl again for a month and now on flagyl AGAIN for the 3rd time. This time he is taking it 3x a day for a month – we go back to gastro next week to talk about scoping him to see why we cant get rid of it. Any advice would be appreciated – we are so worried about my baby!
melissaw72 4592 posts
The first thing that came to mind is that his body might be so used to certain antibiotics (ie, flagyl) that it is not responding to them like they should. He could be becoming immune to them because they've been used so much.

So very sorry about your son, cocovdo. I started Flagyl and then Vancomycin back in August, 2010. A stool sample didn't show any C diff the end of Jan, 2011 and within a month I was having the terrible abdominal cramps and diarhhea. Another stool sample showed the C diff was back. I'm back on Vancomycin again and even though it's killing my pocketbook, I have no choice. I'm hoping to get into the local CDC doctor to find out what else might help. Call your CDC office and see if they can help. Good luck!
I can tell you that the only that that helped my 16 year old son was the probiotic (perscription strength) VSL#3 — the antibiotics only gave temp. = CDiff returned after rounds of anitbiotics. My son has been free of CDiff for three years…and I credit that to VSL. Is it NOT cheap but it was worth every penny!! Our insurance did cover some of the cost of the perscription version but it still was costly. He took it twice a day for a month or so…then he went down to once a day…then 3 times a week… then down to not at all. However, it only took about 2 weeks on VSL for him to feel human again.
My 16 month old son too has had C-diff since taking an antibiotic last Nov. after nearly 3 months of non-stop calls to my pediatricians office I took him to the hospital. He had lost weight, was vomiting & running high fevers. He took flagyl but the infection came back within days. He just finished vanco last Sunday. this morning the diarrhea has started again. I am taking him back to pedi GI on tuesday. Completely terrified. I am also pregnant with another child & worried about her exposure.

I went to the ER on Jan 26 for diarrhea and abdominal pain that was like a 6-7. I was dxed with Colitis and given Augmentin, which is an antibiotic I have never had before in my life. Within only 5 days my belly was so disstended that I looked about 6 mos pregnant. I was in so much pain, it was under my rib cage, and all around my entire stomach and back and was between a 7-8. After 3 days there of not being told anything and not being allowed to eat or drink anything they had me do a 2nd stool sample. The next day they told me I had C Diff. By day 5 my pain was a 9-10. My dr was refusing to give me a stronger pain med and I honestly felt like I was going to die. My pain was comparable to labor!!! In the hospital I was given Vancomycin syrup, which is the nastiest med that exists. Finally on day 6 my diarrhea stopped although the pain did not go away, it just lessened in intensity. I was sent home with vancomycin caplets, 40 of them, to take 4 a day for 10 days. When I finish them it will make 21 days straight I have been on antibiotics! This morning my diarrhea is back, even though I am taking the med as prescribed and I am eating only the BRAT diet. My pain is still there as well. Now on top of the colitic and C Diff I also have an UTI. I am curious if anyone else has had C Diff flare back up while still on the original treeatment? I wash my hands constantly and noone else in my house or who has been around me has caught it.

Surface Pro v.s. ThinkPad Tablet 2... Fight!
Hey guys, let's hash this one out.
I've currently got a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 10. I love both. I especially love the gorgeous display on the Nexus 10, however, I've realized there really isn't anything I can do on the Nexus 10 that I can't on my Nexus 4. It's not that a tablet can't be useful to me, it definitely can, I just need something offering more function to a student (digitizer pen and legacy software support is a good start).
Hence, I find myself allured to the Surface Pro and Thinkpad Tablet 2. Let's look at some Pros/Cons of each
ThinkPad Tablet 2 - $649
Pros: Windows 8 Pro in a fanless device, built-in pen, light weight
Cons: lower resolution, branding on the front of the device, intel atom with 2GB RAM
Surface Pro - $899
Pros: Ivy bridge in a tablet, Full HD screen, great hardware
Cons: battery life, heavier, pen not built in
So my Pros/Cons aren't the greatest, but ultimately what I'm getting at is that I don't really need the power of core i series in a 10" screen, thus Intel's Atom should suffice quite well. I do wish it was BayTrail and not CloverTrail since Bay-Trail will offer 64-bit support and DDR3 RAM, etc. But that's life, I would rather skip IVB and wait for Haswell than skip CloverTrail and wait for BayTrail.
What do you guys think?

Eau Claire (WQOW) - Music, no matter your dialect it's a language we can all understand. A group of UW-Eau Claire students proved that on a recent trip and they even made headlines on a singing tour of Ireland.
It was an impromptu performance at an Irish pub. Allison Gehring, the Vice President of the UW-Eau Claire Women's Concert Chorale, says, "We had all kind of gathered together around the pub and we held hands, that's just something fun that we do, and we just sang 'The Parting Glass'."
"It's sung often at the end of the night when people are leaving and parting ways," explains Sarah Steffen, the president of the chorale.
An informal setting compared to the churches and universities the chorale had been singing at across the country. "You were standing right next to someone who knew the song; you were standing right next to someone who was just watching you sing that. Instead of being on a stage and far away we were with them and I think that's something that really made it a special night and a special moment," explains chorale secretary, Annie Jackson.
Sarah says, "You would see people mouthing every single word of the song."
It's a song with strong ties to Ireland. Sarah says, "We really wanted a piece that would have some sort of connection with the place we were going. And so, my brother is a Music Education major and he just graduated in December and he also composes. So, he arranged the piece for us to sing and dedicated it to women's concert chorale."
The performance echoed beyond the walls of the pub in Derry. Sarah says, "Instantly in the pub you see everyone pick up their phones and they start recording us."
The song was described as stunning by an Irish news and entertainment website.
"People can stop what they're talking about, stop what they're doing and just sit and enjoy a piece of music and can connect with people regardless of where they're from, what age they are, what they do for a living for that two minutes," explains Allison.
Sarah says, "It was a really cool feeling to know that we're from a completely different place and yet we can come in here and sing this song and automatically make this connection with other people."
On Youtube the video of the girls singing in that Irish bar has over 13,000 views. To see the full song, click here.

December 30, 1899
Kate Hellmann, Associate Director, Office of International Programs, email@example.com
As a large institution, different offices championed and facilitated international, diversity, and multicultural activities for students, faculty, and staff at Washington State University (WSU). Though the university has a strong commitment to both areas as demonstrated through articulation in university plans and through staff and human resource allocation, collaboration between these units was not well established.
The catalyst for advancing collaborative efforts between multicultural and international education at WSU was the acute consciousness of the state's global economic connections in the agriculture and technology sectors, and through its multinational industries. Additionally, there are burgeoning Latino and Asian populations, both domestic and foreign-born, which bring the challenges and benefits of internationalization into the forefront of their local communities. In the face of this demographic shift, the institution sought to ensure that students and faculty would be able to reap the benefits of such global diversity on the campus and not retreat to monocultural enclaves which might have negative implications for cross-cultural engagements, as well as for teaching and learning at the institution.
WSU sought to synergize global learning outcomes across its different programs so students could gain the skills appropriate for working in a global and diverse society.
The following were undertaken:
Learning outcomes:
Understand connections that can be made from historical, cultural, economic, and political contexts that shape society and reflect global systems.
Demonstrate knowledge of and be sensitive to others' differing identities and values across cultures.
Apply intercultural communication skills to interact effectively with individuals and in groups.
Interact respectfully and responsibly across boundaries in diverse environments. Assessment tool: Global Perspectives Inventory
Learning outcomes:
The biggest impact at WSU was a better understanding of what each area—those working in diversity and international initiatives—was doing as a result of the Global Cultural Diversity (GCD) working group. This increased knowledge lent itself to leveraging opportunities for collaboration. One result of this collaboration was the first annual Humanitas Festival in the fall of 2013, which celebrated world cultures through the arts.
A proposal to assess global competencies across campus was put together by the GCD working group in August of 2013. After receiving feedback from the WSU Office of the Provost, the GCD group is now reworking the proposal and will resubmit it to WSU's administration in hopes of beginning assessment in 2014. The tool chosen for assessment was the Global Perspectives Inventory.

2008 Nissan Frontier LE 4dr King Cab 6.1 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
The drive is solid. The power is excellent and it is very quiet and comfortable inside. I compared it to the Toyota tacoma and the Ford ranger. It was obvious to me that there were very large quality differences. The Frontier was a much nicer vehicle then the other two makes that I compared it with. Also the value of the dollar for similar features beat the Toyota. Buy this truck if you want to be completely satisfied with your decision.

Hundreds to perform in Dancing With Choirs for Wessex Heartbeat High 5 Appeal at The Mayflower in Southampton
Updated 3:51pm Monday 24th February 2014 in News By Rebecca Pearson, Reporter
HUNDREDS of Hampshire performers are preparing to take to the stage at the Mayflower Theatre for a fundraising extravaganza.
Dancing with Choirs has been organised by Wessex Heartbeat to raise thousands for the Daily Echo-backed High 5 Appeal which aims to bring a new cardiac ward to Southampton General Hospital for young heart patients.
The ward will transform the hospital experience for 16 to 30-year-olds who currently have to be treated in adult wards alongside patients who are often much older than them with different forms of heart problems.
Now 500 performers from across the county have got together to showcase their talents and help the charity meet their fundraising target.
Thousands are expected to watch the show featuring singers from the Mayflower's Musical Youth Theatre, Romsey Male Voice Choir, E-Minor Pop Academy, children from Hampshire Collegiate Prep School in Winchester and Spinnaker Chorus in Havant.
Dancing with them will be performers from Tori Caine School of Dancing, Parkewood School of Dance, Sue Merrett School of Dance, A&L Dance Academy, Studio So, The Point Adult Tap and Dance 8.
Charity chief executive Alison Farrell said: "This is an ambitious undertaking for a charity, but the stakes are high for us in our determination to give young people with heart conditions the right place to be treated while they are in hospital as soon as we are able.
"That's why all of us organising and performing are clear that in delivering the best for the audience we will bring closer the best that can be delivered for young cardiac patients.
"Here at Wessex Heartbeat we're enormously grateful to all of our performers, and extremely confident that this show will be at least as good as the very successful High 5 Variety Show we staged in 2013.
"Last year we had an audience of 1300; this year, with the support of the Daily Echo and so many others, we would love to achieve a capacity audience of 2000. That really would give our High 5 Final Push the massive boost our patients deserve."
For tickets, ring the Mayflower's box office on 023 8071 1811 or visit mayflower.org.uk/ bookingonline.asp.

Oddbins' anti-Locog stunt offers discount for wearing Nike trainers
By Daniel Farey-Jones, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 24 July 2012 04:09PM
The boss of Oddbins has attacked the "asinine rules" on mentioning the Olympics in marketing and has introduced a 30% discount for customers who wear or display a total of eight items from non-sponsor brands, including Nike and Pepsi.
Ayo Akintola, the managing director of the off-licence chain, has come up with the idea for the three-week discount as a "marketing counter-strike in defiance of the labyrinthine restrictions placed on businesses by the Olympics' legion of brand guardians".
To qualify, customers need to visit one of Oddbins 35 branches wearing Nike trainers and have in their pocket a set of Vauxhall car keys, an RBS MasterCard, an iPhone, a bill from British Gas and a receipt for a Pepsi bought at KFC.
The discount will be accompanied by window displays highlighting the message that the chain is prevented from referring to the Games in its marketing while managing to push wine offers.
One ad reads: "We're not allowed to tell you which team we're supporting … so we'll tell you about this Aussie champion instead. Jansz Brut NV £15."
Another reads: "We can't mention the event. We can't mention the city. We can't even mention the year. At least they can't stop us telling you about this: Rococco Rose £17."
Akintola said: "The London Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the whole of the UK's business community to come together to support our fantastic athletes and celebrate an awe-inspiring festival of sport.
"But thanks to Locog (London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games), any business without the tens of millions of pounds required to join the cabal of multinational brand partners for the Games are reduced to the status of beggars on the gilded streets of the Olympic movement."
Oddbins claimed: "The Locog rules stipulate that no company should mention the Olympic Games, the city in which they are being held or even the year they are being staged."
Locog has yet to respond to a request for comment on the accuracy of the claim.Follow @DanFareyJones

Dear @WashingtonPost, there's nothing "free market" about ObamaCare, ok? Thanks.—

Doesn't seem like a point that anyone would need to make, this is the world we're living in:
You've got to be kidding me. washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-a…—
Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) December 26, 2013
The geniuses on the Washington Post editorial board have weighed in on the economics of the Affordable Care Act, and here's what they've concluded: It's the free market at work, baby!
The ACA won't leave everyone better off. There will be a few people who will end up having to pay more than they used to for access to networks of comparable size. There are also some places that don't have enough competitors in the marketplace, which means some people won't have every option.
Still, Republicans, many of whom claim to favor market approaches to expanding health-care coverage but oppose excluding patients with preexisting conditions, can't credibly balk at the natural results of competition organized under those very principles. No one can expect low premiums and near-unlimited service, particularly in a system designed to spread costs around so that the sick and the old can finally obtain decent health coverage from private insurers. That's not a mistake. It's economics.
Oh … is that what it is?

|'Smoke' living the life he loves
|Sunday, August 18, 2013 12:00 AM
By JIM METCALFE
Sports Editor
I admit that I am not the greatest fan of NASCAR — there are probably four or five others that are greater than I but that is for another column! — but outside of maybe a couple of guys, I really have no problem with any of the current drivers.
They are good men and women who are trying to entertain the fans the best they can, make a good living and win races, all the while avoiding "The One" that will end their career or, perish the thought, their life.
I think there is an inherent respect for other drivers by most — unfortunately, apparently not always by all — of these people because they know all it takes is one slip-up, one mistake in judgement.
That respect came to the fore last week when Tony "Smoke" Stewart broke his leg doing what he loves to do — racing.
He missed his first race in many moons at Watkins Glen and the other drivers were very cognizant of his absence, texting, twittering and tweeting about how much he is missed the day of the race.
These men and women know that if it weren't for current drivers like Smoke, a Jeff Gordon, a Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the like, or for those that set the tone in the past like Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Sr. and other legendary persons, NASCAR is not what it is today.
Stewart is one of those guys that has "grown" up before out eyes.
Remember when it seemed as if he was known more for his temper than his driving prowess?
I for one like to see people choose the better way; he could have continued in that mode — who knows where he'd be had he done so? — but chose the correct fork in the road and he — and racing — is better for it.
Since I know he is one of the regular readers of this column (!!!), get well, Smoke.
As part of a racing story in the paper today, there are those that are wondering about the safety of the drivers after what happened to Stewart and to a couple of other drivers who have died on the track the last few months.
No question, these are tragedies and we hope that the powers-that-be are doing everything they can to make sure these men and women are as safe as possible.
At the same time, those men who died on the track like Jason Leffler and Kramer Williamson died doing what they loved to do: racing.
They — and their families — knew the risks and the dangers and kept plugging away, I would hope with the blessing of their families. That, I am not privy to know.
It all ties in with the current concern about football players — all players for that matter but especially the retired pros — who are suffering the effects of concussions and such.
I don't know what the ultimate fate of this situation in the courts and such will end up but when you read stories of these men — not only regarding their brains and minds but also the damage done to backs, knees and ankles — how many would not do it again?
These guys played the game they loved from the time they were little and dreamed of playing it at the highest levels.
How many of us guys wish we had had that opportunity? They just had the chance to see it through.
In the end, you can only make "life" so safe. The rest requires faith, doesn't it?

4: Mias, Elle, and...Abernos??"Stupid bloody magic!" Elle growled. She slammed the book on the table closed, dust floating up to her nose from the movement. She sneezed several times before leaning forward to rest her forehead against her palms, her frustration building.For the past three days she had tried, to no avail, to find a way to break through the protection spell that was keeping her trapped. On the first day she had sprinted towards the open front door, hoping that she could break through with brute force and determination. Mias had been leaning over the banister, looking down at her with amusement. The instant she made contact with the open doorway she felt the empty space contract outwards as it gave under the force of her weight, before she was launched backwards into the manor where she landed without grace on her backside. Mias had roared with laughter, which she responded to with a finger that she hoped was universally known.The second day was a day for experimenting. Elle decided to see if she co
7: Elle at SeaElias strode down the passageway, eager to see the look on Elle's face when she realized just how dire her situation had become. Something about seeing the look of helplessness on her face excited him, and he knew that it would work in his favor. After all, how could she continue to defy him if she had no choice but to obey him?Elias climbed the companionway and stepped into the bright morning sun. The familiar roar of the ocean filled his ears, and he sucked in a lungful of salty sea air. He smoothed the front of his dark shirt, tugging the sleeves at his wrists before adjusting his collar. He was never one to appear on deck unkempt, evident by the gleam of his boots and the seamless press of his black breeches. And he had to admit, he wanted to look presentable for his bride to be, for if he appeared to her in muddy boots and dusty clothes as he had the night before, what would she think of him?Elias glanced around the deck, and spotted Elle easily. She was leaning against the rail
9: Elias' RevengeElle stumbled forward onto the beach on hands and knees, just as a wave crashed against her. She fell forward onto her stomach, gasping for air as she tried to catch her breath. Her muscles screamed, her shoulders and arms trembling uncontrollably from the excruciating swim. Her legs cramped, needles of pain crawling over her calves when she tried to stretch her legs. But she had made it, she was alive.She rolled onto her back with a groan, her whole body protesting. Staring up at the starry sky, Elle pushed the damp hair that clung to her cheeks out of her face, bringing herself up onto her elbows. She looked out at the water which shimmered in the moonlight, and in the distance she could make out the silhouette of the Revenge, and she sighed with relief when she realized that it was moving away.Her relief was quickly replaced by guilt when she thought of Thomas. She had left him behind. She shook her head, unable to believe her own selfishness. She should have fought harder,
2: Elle's EscapeMias stared at Elle's sleeping form beside him. She hadn't moved all nighthe knew because he hadn't moved all night either. He was still lying back against the headboard, watching her steady breathing and enjoying the rise and fall of her breasts beneath her lacy white bra. He had stripped her out of the gown she had been wearing, wanting her to be comfortable as she slept, confused as to why he cared about her comfort at all. His grin widened as her chest rose, deciding that caring about whether or not Elle was comfortable had to be the best damn idea he ever had.Sunlight poured through the open window, a slant of light cutting across the bed and Elle's creamy white legs. Mias adjusted himself on the bed, and Elle shifted slightly before going still once more.She would be awake soon, and Mias was suddenly aware that he had been lying on the bed in his clothes. He tried to smooth the wrinkles in his slacks and shirt, sighing with frustration when he realized not only was he a w
8: Mias Finds ElleElle rose slowly from the spot where she had been sitting for the past hour. She wasn't usually one to feel sorry for herself, but Elias' spiteful words, rough hands, and unwanted kisses had taken their toll on her. Yet in spite of his constant cruelty, Elle was amazed at how she had handled things thus far, drawing on an inner strength that she didn't know that she possessed.Drawing on that strength once more, Elle took in her surroundings in the hope that she would find something that could help her escape. After all, if what Elias had said about Mias was true, then she was in fact on her own. As she looked around the surprisingly large space of the cabin, hoping that she would spot something to aid in her escape plan, Elle held on to the hope that Elias had been lying. That seemed highly likely, given his behavior, but she wasn't going to pin her hopes on a possibility. As far as she was concerned, she was going to have to figure a way out of this situation herself.Elle inched her
5: Elias Finds ElleElle woke with a start. She opened her eyes slowly, unable to make out anything but blackness beyond the flicker of the candle which burned low on the table beside her. She could hear the creaking of floorboards near the window to her left, and she turned onto her side and stared wide eyed into the darkness.She tried to scream when she saw a form coming towards her out of the shadows, but only managed a small squeak. She shot up in bed and scooted back until she was pressed against the headboard, bringing her knees to her chest.When the figure became clearer thanks to the candlelight, Elle let out a shaky breath when she saw that it was only Mias."You scared the hell out of me," Elle breathed, pressing her hand against her chest.Mias tilted his head as he watched her, a sly smile spreading across his lips. His eyes dragged over her face and down her neck to where she had the blanket tugged up over her knees, before his gaze met hers once more.Elle shivered. He was looking at her a
3: Mias and Elle Share a KissIt took every bit of strength Elle had to keep herself from trembling. Mias still had his strong hands on her shoulders, his eyes furious. She felt so vulnerable, not because of Mias' firm hold on her, but because of the way his eyes looked deeply into hers, unblinking.The silence seemed to stretch on forever, and Elle wasn't sure how much longer she could stand it."Whatever you're planning to do to me, I wish you would get on with it already. This drawn out silence is killing me." She was so proud of herself in that moment, because despite the fear that pooled in her belly her voice didn't show an ounce of what she felt.Mias' lip twitched as if he was going to smile before his face returned to an unreadable mask."Unreadable, but so unbelievably handsome." She couldn't help but think."I don't think you fully appreciate the gravity of your situation," he said darkly.His usually mischievous tone was cold and distant, and she didn't like it at all.

6: Elle Held CaptiveMias leaned forward in the saddle, urging his black steed forward with kicks and shouts of encouragement. The crisp night air invigorated his senses, and he pushed his horse faster still. The landscape was a blur around him, farmhouses and cottages coming into view for mere seconds before disappearing once more into the darkness.Mias pulled up on the reins as he came up over a hill, giving him a perfect view of the rolling fields and cottages which dotted the countryside below. He patted his horse approvingly, glancing up at the moon and sucking in a lungful of air. He closed his eyes, allowing the sounds of the night to envelope him, letting the cricket song and the distant howls of wolves calm him. Yet his thoughts kept drifting back to Elle.She was like no one he had met before in his life. She stood up to him, constantly challenging him and speaking her mind. It was refreshing, having someone so honest in his presence. People rarely looked him in the eye, their fear of
10: Elle's RevengeElle ripped her arm free of the large sailor's grip as he hauled her up from the ladder and onto the deck. She nearly fell to the floor, feeling so detached and disoriented from the horror she had just witnessed that her whole body was numb.Mias is dead.She felt a sharp twisting in her chest at the very thought, and she wanted nothing more than to crumple to the floor and cry. She looked towards the island, only able to see the outline of the cliffs and the glimmer of waves as they drifted onto the shore. Elle wanted to hurl herself over the side of the ship, to swim back to Mias and hold him in her arms one last time. But she knew there would be no point in it, that all the wishing and crying, all the promises and kisses in the world would never bring him back. All she could do now was hope that Mias knew what she felt for him. That his love for her was matched by her love for him.She watched as Elias climbed up the last few steps of the ladder with a wide grin on his face,

Aside from being the face of women's mixed martial arts (MMA), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has enjoyed much success outside of the Octagon, as well.
From countless high-profile photo shoots, talk show appearances and movie roles, "Rowdy" has set herself up to have other ways to make a living once she's done punching people's faces in.
Despite having plenty of other opportunities come her way, fighting is still priority No. 1 and Alexis Davis -- who she faces in the co-main event at UFC 175 on Sat., July 5, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada -- is the only thing on her mind.
In a sense, Davis has her "happiness hostage," which is why Rousey told Sherdog that she can't stop and smell the roses for even a second.
She explains:
"It is kind of difficult for me to talk about movies so much. People have been grilling me about it all day. I can't allow myself to be happy about anything until I beat Alexis. I hear so many things that is great news, but I can't take any joy from it until I beat Alexis, I can't relax and I can't enjoy anything. It's not something that I purposely do, it's just that I really cannot. I heard about the ESPY nominations the other day and I could have cared less because I had sparring that day and the only thing I kept thinking about was Alexis. 'Athena Project' is a big movie franchise that I really hope to build up. I want that to be my franchise and Warner Bros. bought the book rights for me and Brad Thor. We finally have a writer brought on and progress is really being made. And I couldn't have been less excited about it because I have to beat Alexis first. As soon as I beat Alexis, I will be so happy about everything else. But I can't allow myself to be happy until that happens. She's like holding my happiness hostage. And that's why this is the most important fight that I've ever had because she's the one I haven't beaten yet."
Indeed, the former Olympian has had quite a busy schedule since last year; defending her title twice in two months against Miesha Tate and Sara McMann. All while putting the finishing touches on her upcoming movie roles in "The Expendables 3," "Fast and Furious 7," and "Entourage."
Her championship bout against Davis will be her third title defense in the span of seven months, and if all goes as planned, she'll be looking to make it four straight title defenses in one calendar year.
As she mentioned, Ronda also has a movie franchise in the works, as she has been pegged to spearhead Warner Bros. upcoming "Athena Project," which his expected to be a potential blockbuster franchise.
She was also recently nominated for not one, but two ESPN ESPY Awards.
Still, none of that can put a smile on the champ's face until she sets her happiness free by getting past Davis in "Sin City."

First experience - moved here from out of state w/a new Suburu, which I LOVE! Had to have the car smog-tested to register in Calif. Called AutoWest, the closest to new home. They were not able to do a Smog test for Calif. because they did not have the proper equipment, so sent me to another dealer, who was very good, but far away. This required an extra 1 1/2 hours of driving, roundtrip in an unfamiliar city. Second time - needed an oil change. It took 1/2 day! The dismal waiting area was overpacked, so I asked for a shuttle to the Mall. That took over 1/2 hour to arrive, although I actually had requested it days prior to my appt. anticipating that I if available, I would want that option. My appt. was at 10 am. I was finally called at 2pm at the Mall. The shuttle driver picked me up in a beat-up shuttle. I was so exhausted. They tried to charge me for the oil change which was actually free; when I remembered that it is part of a separate warranty, which I purchased, they checked my records and said that they couldn't find it. I was calling Subaru Corp. on my cell phone, but they found the warranty in my records. No charge. Third time - I really did not want to go back to AutoWest, but the other dealers are so far away. This time all I needed was an oil change and tire rotation, as per my warranty. First, it took over 1/2 hour to have the car checked in, although I had an appointment. He said he was "sorry"; I asked him if they could run my car through their car wash. He said OK. I was purusing the tiny parts dept., but felt uncomfortable, as if I were intruding in their open office. Then, it took another two hours to do the oil change and tire rotation. He called me and said. "Opps, looks like they forgot to rotate the tires." I asked how this would work now, because my free visit was for both items, so when I came back, how could I get the tires rotated for free. He said, flippantly, "Well, they washed it." The car is great; AutoWest needs an attitude adjustment, a nicer waiting area, to run on time.

text: SLIDESHOW: Image 10/10 Posted 10.20.11 | PERMALINK | ESSAY Jason Griffiths: Manifest Destiny: A Guide to the Essential Indifference of American Suburban Housing Buckeye OasisThis fragment of landscaping stands in sharp contrast to the barren surroundings of the Blue Horizons development in Buckeye, Arizona. Although from this perspective it appears as a lone outbreak of vegetation, it actually forms part of a continuous strip of greenery that lines the development's primary roads and links with the neighborhood via a series of entry points and openings. At this particular point the landscaping turns inwards towards the residential zone and then halts suddenly in the face of a vast expanse of undeveloped lots. A pleasant winding promenade through the greenery abruptly terminates in a stark vista of approximately 600 undeveloped subdivisions extending almost as far as the eye can see. Local municipalities require landscaping like this to be in place before any houses are built, but in this case there seems to be an additional motivation behind this lavish gesture. The hostility of the terrain combined with the (as yet) revenueless development would seem to make the maintenance of such planting prohibitively expensive, but all the evidence points to a team of workers whose efforts echo the optimistic trajectory of the landscaping itself. Curiously, the spectacle of this planting against such a forlorn backdrop only seems to reaffirm the conviction of this project, evoking not fragility but tenacity. Elsewhere, the landscaping is adjoined by baseball fields and play areas, also in prime condition and yet also largely unused. Deployed in this manner, landscaping takes on a new significance — not merely a benign backdrop but the primary agent in the establishment of suburbia, advancing across the inhospitable terrain of the Arizona desert in unwavering affirmation of the Arcadian principles of endless suburban propagation.

Drumming up excitement
That sound you may have heard in the woods recently is a celebration of sorts — as in a spring ritual.
For Brainerd area grouse hunters, it's a celebration of what could come this fall.
If you've spent time in the woods this spring, you may have heard the drumming of ruffed grouse — the male grouse raises his wings and, cupping them forward, beats the air, creating a reverberating drum roll in hopes of attracting a mate.
Yes, music to grouse hunters' ears.

Lights! Camera! Asana!
All of which illustrates the sharp contrast between the finished product and the process by which it was created. "The filming was choppy and discontinuous," Crandell says, "but the video looks really smooth."
Apart from tedium, the models faced challenges large and small, from striving to take poses skillfully to figuring out how to position themselves so that the cameras could fully present them. The script called for Crandell to use specific props but not how to manage them while filming (so they wouldn't block any shots, for one thing); that meant he had to deal with positioning them on the fly.
Alvarez's greatest challenge came when she was required to model the arm balance Bakasana (Crane Pose), which she calls "my most hated pose." She had been practicing up to three hours a day off the set to enhance her ability in this and other poses, but still dreaded the moment she'd have to move into Bakasana on cue.
When the time finally came, she says, "everybody held their breath. The camera focused on my buttocks lifting and tucking, my arms strong and unshakable. There I was for a full three seconds, living a glorious triumph over my most dreaded pose. Then the director, Michael Kirk, yelled, 'Cut!' and I collapsed in relief to cheers and applause. Everybody walked onto the set and, instead of handing me flowers and tossing confetti, they each did Bakasana, as a tribute to me and my dread."
Under the circumstances, the most remarkable thing, surely, was that Crandell and Alvarez were able to summon the presence of mind to perform yoga so adroitly. "I was surprised," Crandell remarks, "at how internal I felt while we were filming."
YJ asana editor Todd Jones, who attended the shoot as a "spotter"�helping the models adjust their poses just so�elaborates: "When you're really doing yoga, you drop within yourself, and anyone who's watching can see that happen. When you're doing a video, there are all sorts of technical requirements, like precision of the pose, lighting, sound, and camera-angle adjustment. Somehow, the models need to be aware of all that and still drop within and do yoga. And Autumn and Jason just nailed that."
YJ senior editor Phil Catalfo is the star of his own ongoing production.

Never mind, I found it. The website design is a little goofy, I click on Where to Buy? and it only showed Europe and Japan (not US). Then I noticed there is another link at the top for US on the product page. Confusing design for a website in my opinion.

Nice! This looks better that the other velcro / shoelace pouches. I think it's actually worth the $10, not like the Marware pouch which is overpriced. I only hope that it doesn't mess up the sensor accuracy.

I am announcing the immediate availability of my own device for attaching the Nike+ Sport Kit sensor to non-Nike shoes. It has been personally tested in over 300 miles of running on a variety of terrains. Best of all it is free!

+ $2 shipping = $9.99
Posted by Paul on November 7, 2006 at 1:35 PM (CST)
I bought one of these and received it promptly, though it arrived in a plain envelope marked as a "commercial sample" straight from Hong Kong to avoid export tariffs. classy
It's a great concept, looks great, mostly well-made and seems to be just as accurate as the home-made pouch that formerly kept my Nike+ sensor strapped to my laces, BUT the part of the device that holds it doesn't stay latched when you actually run with it on, which causes it to flop around with each stride.
To be fair, it still delivered numbers inline with what I was reading off the treadmill, but the floppiness is rather disconcerting. The bottom part that loops through your laces stayed in place, but it just felt as if the end that holds the sensor might fly off at any moment.
As I said, the numbers it gave still appeared to be accurate, but this is still a little worrisome.

Oil Analyzers has expanded its oil analysis kit offerings by adding a new Value Kit as a low-cost option when a full fluid analysis is not required. Oil analysis is a beneficial tool that allows consumers to gauge the current condition of the oil and whether it's suitable for continued use.
The new Value Kit focuses on four key areas of testing: oil thickness, corrosion potential, wear metals and beneficial oil additives. Limiting the testing to those four areas allows Oil Analyzers to charge less for the Value Kit and answer the main question consumers have when using oil analysis: Is it time to change my oil or not?The new Value Kit is recommended for vehicles with an existing oil analysis history and those with established oil change intervals. Full-service oil analysis is still an important piece of preventive maintenance that can provide the following benefits:● Extended oil drain intervals;● Extended equipment life;● Identifying some minor problems before they become major failures;● Maximize asset reliability; and● Increased resale value by providing valuable sampling history documentation.

Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast Restaurants
Café L'Europe
Café L'Europe Review
Since 1980 the favorite spot of society's movers and shakers has remained a regular stop on foodie itineraries. The management pays close attention to service and consistency, a big reason for its longevity. Best sellers include Maine lobster risotto and traditional Wiener schnitzel, along with such inspired creations as crispy veal sweetbreads with wild mushrooms and asparagus. Depending on your mood, the champagne-caviar bar can serve up appetizers or desserts. The place has an extensive, award-winning wine list with many by-the-glass options. A pianist plays nightly from 7 to 9:30, and the lively crowd gracefully sways to the music.
