Another (sorta) newbie
Hello all. I'm new to these boards but not new to WDW.
I was fortunate growing up in a family where I was able to take almost annual trips to Disney World. It's been awhile since I've gone but now that I am of age (23), I am now planning my first trip without the folks with my girlfriend of 3 years. We were planning to go last January but a medical emergency involving my diabetes promptly canceled our plans. Since I have spent much time at WDW in addition to knowledge about airline travel (I'm usually on a plane once every 2-3 months), I hope to contribute my experience to this forum but some of it might be outdated :(

White curtains and bedding tone down the purple walls. Light and airy nightstands help balance out the black dresser. Pops of color add interest.

I finally purchased a new couch and I love it. The couch is the Claudia Sofa from Macy's.
Now I'm still on the hunt for a new coffee table. I'm kind of getting sick of my ottoman which I had only bought because my kids were toddlers and I didn't want them to get hurt on hard edges and corners.
For the coffee table I think I will go with a gold Hollywood Regency table or a modern chrome and marble top table. Lets see what I can find in an affordable option.
A lot of people always ask me why I have light colored flooring even though that the trend is to go really dark. The reason is dust and dirt! Most of my friends that have dark floors go crazy trying to keep their dark hardwood floors looking clean. I don't, because you can't see the dust and cat hair from 4 cats as much. That is also the reason why I have a traditional persian style area rug. I actually would much rather have a graphic patterned rug but they are hard to keep clean again. I've tried other rugs before. The pattern of my rug is forgiving!
That is the reason why I have the ikea pillows. They are easy to wash and keep clean. And if one is ruined, they are cheap and easy to replace.
I guess I'd rather compromise with my large busy family. Two kids and four cats do make a lot of dirt but my house mostly looks clean!
When we moved into our new house, we didn't have enough money to re-do our kitchen so we decided to handle the project ourselves. We painted the cabinets, painted the backsplash, added a hand painted island, changed out the hardware on the cabinets, spray painted the old kitchen light fixtures, painted a chalkboard wall, and replaced the old curtains with new ones. We love the way it turned out even though it was a lot of work!

Anger as $250k FFA fee hits glamour tour gamesPUBLISHED: 05 May 2014 05:06:30 | UPDATED: 05 May 2014 05:06:30PUBLISHED: 05 May 2014 PRINT EDITION: 05 May 2014
John Stensholt
Football Federation Australia has attracted the ire of A-League club owners by moving to impose a $250,000 sanction fee on any international friendly matches the clubs organise against famous overseas teams.
Clubs were recently informed of the change, which could put in jeopardy future tour matches such as the clash between Melbourne Victory and English Premier League giants Liverpool last year that attracted 95,000 spectators to the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
FFA also organises its own matches against overseas opposition through the A-League All Stars team, which played Manchester United last year and will meet Italian club Juventus in Sydney in August.
Previously it charged the club 5 per cent of gate takings to sanction other matches.
The Juventus match is the next high-profile event on the football calendar after the Socceroos play South Africa on May 26 and Sunday's A-League grand final, in which Brisbane Roar beat Western Sydney Wanderers 2-1.
It is understood the FFA is in negotiations with a top English side for the 2015 off-season and has approached European clubs to tour in 2016. It is hoped an announcement on the 2015 match will come by the end of this year.
Club sources say the increased payment, as well as the FFA already holding broadcast rights to the matches, is aimed at deterring clubs from organising their own matches and instead leaving the overseas tours for only the All-Stars, from which the FFA can make up to $1 million a match.
Manchester City have already withdrawn from a May tour during which they had planned to play their subsidiary, Melbourne Heart, and Brisbane Roar, while clubs such as Melbourne Victory are reconsidering plans for 2015 matches.
However, it is understood the FFA sees the move as ensuring clubs only bring out top-class opponents capable of generating large financial returns that would allow for the new sanction fee to be affordable.
Some matches in recent years, including Victory versus Greek team Olympiakos, have failed to generate large financial returns.

Don't have a whole lot to say but I felt like posting a blog. It's week 26, and I'm really starting to feel and look big this week.
Food-wise, I have good days and bad days. I do eat veggies and fruits every day but I could definitely do better. I do have treats every day, however, and I want to cut down on that. I am trying not to beat myself up too much about it though.
Fitness-wise, I am doing pretty well. I am on track the most during the week. Weekends are just too crazy sometimes with everything we have to do. I do try to take walks at least on days that I do not get to the gym. Last night I went to Body Combat. SO FUN! I don't know how much longer I'll be able to continue this class, but I am hoping I can for a while. On tap for this morning is Bosu! The pool is closed temporarily for them to clean it and open it up for the summer (it's an indoor pool in the winter and converts to an outdoor pool in the summer) so no water aerobics today. Probably in another month or so, I will replace Bosu entirely with water aerobics. For now, I switch between the two.
Overall, I am enjoying this pregnancy. Baby has been giving me some great kicks lately. I never get tired of feeling them! :)
This past weekend we went shopping for nursery furniture. I think we finally decided on a set and will order it probably today. It might not arrive in time. They say 10-14 weeks. There is a place out in California that would get it to us sooner, but I am nervous about ordering something from a store all the way across the country. If something were to go wrong, we wouldn't be able to take anything back to the store. Plus, we would have to assemble everything ourselves, whereas if we buy locally the delivery people would put it together for us.
We also went to Lowe's and picked up some paint samples so we can decide what color to paint the nursery. I want it to be neutral enough that we wouldn't have to repaint it to sell the house, but still a pretty color for a girl. And we decided not to do a theme. Instead we will just find some cute things to decorate the room with.
We also planted some tomatoes and herbs in pots for the first time ever. I've thought about doing this every year but this is the first year we've actually done it. I hope they grow!! Another first: homemade lasagna! One of the ladies on my Babyfit team posted a recipe and I tried it. It turned out very well. I was happy considering it was my first time making it. It wasn't exactly low-cal but that's OK. I can tweak it now that I know that the basic recipe turns out well. Hubby loved it too. In fact, the entire pan is now gone as of last night. I made it Sunday night. LOL.
Have a great week everyone!! :)
Here is one picture. I have a few more that we had to take as we completed clues, but I wish we had taken some others along the way just for fun. The picture is of us eating a noodle "Lady and the Tramp" style at a pizza restaurant in Arlington, VA.
We got up early and drove to the place where they handed out the packets with our shirts and race numbers. I couldn't believe how many people had signed up for this thing. You could wear the T-shirt they gave you (which we did) or you could come dressed in a costume. There were some funny costumes ( "The Golden Girls" - with the teammates dressed in yellow robes, "super mario brothers," and "Octomom"). I soon wished we had come up with something fun and creative too, but oh well. They passed out the clues at around noon, and miraculously everyone got their clue envelopes without a stampede ensuing (it was super crowded in that room). Kudos to the organizers; they really did a fabulous job! The entire event was very well organized.
We spent about an hour figuring out the answers to the clues and mapping our route. A lot of people did the same thing but others just started running as soon as they opened their clues. We figured it would be best to have a plan first. It did save us time in the end. It was fun solving the puzzles and doing all the tasks. There were 12 clues total; you had to do 11 of the 12.
You could only get around on foot or by using public transportation. You couldn't drive yourselves, or get into a taxi and no bikes, rollerblades, etc. It was quite a workout -almost five hours of running around the city - but that included riding metro too.
Some highlights:
- Solving a clue involving how many rooms would be unoccupied in the White House if the Obamas had a slumber party, then taking a pic of us in front of the White House holding up the correct number of fingers.
- Taking a picture of 12 random "real people." Two of them had to be wearing a Washington Nationals T-shirt.
- Finding and bringing back a wooden popsicle stick or a toothpick with an American Flag attached to it. (We did the popsicle stick; much easier!)
- Taking a picture in front of the Crouching Spider sculpture at the Sculpture Garden
- Taking a martial arts lesson.
- Going to a comedy club and telling a joke (must make the judges laugh).
The clue we skipped was to bring a new size 42-54 D or DD bra (??? no idea why these sizes in particular), a new shower curtain liner or a new set of twin sheets to a certain organization that helps homeless and low-income women. We figured out which organization it was, but had the hardest time finding the bra or shower curtain liner. We were going to skip the joke task but that one ended up being easier. LOL!
My hubby wore his HRM and footpod so we could log our miles. In total, we walked or jogged more than 5 miles. I had to take it a bit easy since I am pregnant but we are proud to have figured out all the clues correctly and complete the race before 5, which was when the race ended. Teams who arrived after 5 did not get a time result. Teams who had incorrect answers received a time penalty. Our time was 4:39 and we finished in 171st place (out of 218 who finished and 331 total). Not bad for a pregnant lady!
The weather was perfect. Cloudy and in the high 60s/low 70s. So glad it wasn't a hot day, or it would have taken us longer. Especially now, I go into "slug" mode when it's hot outside. It threatened to rain but it didn't! Well, it started to sprinkle just as we checked in and started to head home, but that was fine. We really lucked out.
We hope to do this race again next year. In all, I think there are around 20 Great Urban Races in different cities around the country. There is a championship race in New Orleans.
All in all, this was a great day and a wonderful bonding experience for hubby and me. I find myself savoring these types of moments - the ones we get to spend together, just the two of us, before the little one arrives.
I will post more pics on my Spark page soon. And maybe a belly pic too. Maybe.
Great!! I'm super proud of myself. I stuck to my plan and it felt terrific! The only hiccup was Thursday night. I had planned to go to Zumba at 7 p.m. but when hubby came home he was hungry and so was I and we both wanted BBQ for dinner (YIKES). Knowing this was a BAD decision, I made a deal with him. We can go out for BBQ BUT we have to get up the next morning and go to the gym to make up for it. So instead of Friday being my day off, Thursday was my day off. Friday morning I went to a 6 a.m. cycle class and it felt wonderful!! I think I will put this into my regular gym schedule rotation. Yeah, it sucks to get out of bed so early, but after a good morning workout I just feel so fantastic, awake and ready for the day. It was a crowded class, too. I was surprised. I noticed that my gym's attendance level doesn't seem to go down all that much after January's New Year's resolutions. I must live around lots of fitness-minded people!
Saturday's Great Urban Race was SO awesome! I will make that a separate blog entry once I upload pics onto my computer. Tons of fun!
This week's fitness plan is very similar. It's supposed to be rainy pretty much ALL week but I won't let it stop me this time. I won't! Tonight I plan to go to Body Combat at 7.
Have a great week, Sparkfriends!
Being pregnant has given me a new appreciation for my body. Our bodies are truly amazing, and currently, mine is working on giving me the most amazing gift I could ever ask for.
I saw a segment on the Today Show this morning (was it this morning?) on body image and how a mother's negative comments about her body can trickle down to her daughter and affect the way she perceives her own body.
I looked back on my life and realized that I have always liked my body. In high school and college, girls around me were always saying how "fat" they were (even though they were thin) and how they hated this or that about their bodies. I was lucky enough to be a normal weight and I just did not devote my energy to such thinking. And even when I was at my heaviest, I did not hate my body. Sure, there were definitely things I wanted to improve, but I never BLAMED my body for its imperfections. Instead, I blamed my mind and my bad eating habits for letting myself get to that point.
Even before becoming pregnant and especially now that I am, I've often thought about how resilient and forgiving my body is, despite how much I abused it with lots of calories, junk food and soda. When I worked hard to get into shape, it responded and rewarded me for my efforts. I realized that if I treat my body well, it will in turn treat me just as well, if not better. Yes, I would have liked to be a little taller. Yes, it would have been nice if my hips were a little smaller. My upper arms could use some toning. But I can live happily with all those things. My body is an amazing machine and it serves me well.
It finally feels like spring! Summer, actually. We seem to have skipped spring. I am getting out of my funk from all the rain and hope to make this week a great week of fitness. Here's the plan:
Tonight: body combat (hoo-AH!)
Tomorrow: water aerobics
Wednesday: cycle class or elliptical
Thursday: body pump at noon, then perhaps come back in the evening for body combat or zumba
Friday: day off
Saturday: This will be fun! Hubby and I signed up for the Great Urban Race in Washington D.C.. We're of course not going to even come close to winning, as we will be taking it easy and walking the entire time. But ... being such an Amazing Race fan, I am really looking forward to this. I'll be sure to post pics afterward.
Sunday: Day off. Will cheer hubby on as he runs a 5K. Then we have plans to get together with my parents for lunch.
I went to the doctor last week for my monthly checkup. She said I was right on track and where I need to be in terms of my weight gain. Woo hoo! She also said to continue to exercise as I have been doing, as long as I am not lying on my back and not trying something entirely new. This was a new doctor; there are 5 in the practice and they want you to meet all of them b/c we don't know who will end up being there to deliver the baby. We only saw her for about 10-15 minutes so I didn't have much time to really form an impression but she seemed nice. It's crazy how much money doctors get even for such brief visits. (Of course, they deserve to be paid well, but sometimes it seems like they are rushing you out to get to the next patient, and I don't like that.) She said after my next appointment, I will need to start coming every 2 weeks and then eventually once a week.
Hubby and I went shopping (just looking) for strollers and cribs both days of the weekend. I definitely have pregnancy brain. I almost left the house with my slippers still on yesterday. Got halfway down the block to the car before I realized it. Ooops! Luckily my slippers look like flip -flops so I probably could have gotten away with it, but still....
We decided on a stroller but the crib and nursery furniture is another story. My head is spinning. I read and reread that section of the Baby Bargains book at least 10 times. There are many choices and prices out there for cribs, but the quality doesn't always match the prices charged. My topmost concern for the crib is safety; all the recalls in recent past scare me. Plus, our nursery is REALLY small, I mean VERY TINY, with no closet, so we have the fun task of trying to find a piece of furniture that will hold everything yet not take up a lot of space in the room. Talk about a contradiction! I know we will find something, but it's frustrating for sure. We looked at a regular furniture store for dressers too. I don't really care if the dresser matches the crib, and I feel like just because something is called "baby" furniture it is twice as expensive.
Well, that's it for now. Have a wonderful week!!

Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
The batsmen might have struggled in Asia, but most of them have got buckets of runs under their belts. The bowlers have been stunning everywhere in the world.
Far too early to say anything anyway. If they lose badly to South Africa and India then maybe we can start to discuss this, but there have been a heck of a lot of number 1 teams in test history.
RIP Philip Hughes - 1988-2014
This England team is better than the Aus one that came here in 09 perched at the top anyway. And that's a fact, Eric Bischoff!

pretty similar threads
Who is the worse number 1 side to rise to the top of the rankings during last year?
And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta
don't keep a close eye just close the stupid thread
I guess being number one has to be allocated to a team, looking at past number one teams like Aus and WI who could win at home and away consistantly made the position elite but now that we dont really have a quality number one team it gives the impression that cricket has waned.
People's standards are too high after watching the West Indies and, more recently, Australia dominate for so long. In truth to be number 1 you don't really have to thrash everyone who and away. Being able to beat everyone you play at home, and being able to beat most teams away (something England have done) is enough to be the number 1 team IMO.
Also I don't think the lack of a clear number shows that the standards has lowered. If anything it shows the standard has improved as the rest of the other teams have caught up to a similar standard.

First Impressions
My reaction is
From academy award winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) comes the powerfully uplifting true story of one man's struggle to survive against mountainous odds.
Aron Ralston (James Franco) has a passion for all things outdoors. But when a falling boulder traps him in a remote Utah canyon, a thrill-seeker's adventure becomes the challenge of a lifetime. Over the next five days, Ralston embarks on a remarkable personal journey in which he relies on the memories of family and friends — as well as his own courage and ingenuity — to turn adversity into triumph!
Thanks to Rotana, we have 5 copies of 127 Hours on DVD to give away.

UAC: Lost access to BluRay drive: "Location is not available"
Hello everyone, new member here, hope you guys can assist me...
My LG BH12 Blu-Ray drive has developed a problem. If I put a disc in the drive, the drive title changes in Windows Explorer to indicate the disc title, so that's working OK. AutoRun pops up, and offers to show you the files, etc. If you try to view the files, you get a popup message like this:
Location is not availableThis is a new PC I built about 2 weeks ago, and the drive has worked fine up until just now. Here's the interesting thing: if I open a Command Prompt with Administrator-level privileges, or if I disable UAC, I can see the drive and access it with no problem.
The research I've done on my own shows others with this problem but no good solutions yet. It appears to be permissions-related; I've verified that my account is still and Admin account. When I go into the properties of the drive, then Security / Advanced / Owner, it says the current owner is "Everyone". If I Edit this, it does not let me assign a new owner (tried my user account, as well as Administrators group).
I've tried uninstalling the drive and re-detecting. I've updated firmware on the drive. I ran "sfc /scannow" and nothing was found. I'm running out of ideas. How about you? =)
|My System Specs
|06 Jun 2012
Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
1. Uninstall any burning programs you had recently installed, including any Virtual drives. Remove the optical drive from the Device Manager and reinstall the drive.
2. If it does not help try the Repair install. Repair Install
This in all probabilty should fix the problem.
Since it is a self-built new PC, I would rather go ahead with a clean install, instead of breaking my head on it. ( Yes, it is a pesky problem and you will only be running in circles trying to resolve it without a repair install/clean install. My opinion.)

Thanks Jumanji! (Loved your movie...)
I removed MagicISO, but that didn't help.
I'm hesitant to do a reinstall, I'm not convinced that I've run out of options yet...
Anyone else have any ideas? (Please?!?)

My first son was born four weeks before his due date because of preeclampsia. We were lucky to avoid major complications but the whole experience was terrifying. I and my husband never talked about it after our son was born as it was the most frightening thing that ever happen to us. We were simply grateful to be alive. To get pregnant for the first time we went through infertility treatment, so it came as a total surprise to learn 5 years later that I was pregnant again. We were both happy and devastated. Those who know what it takes to have another baby after preeclampsia would understand. Our first son was born in the USA. I got pregnant for the second time when we... Read More

It started the Sunday before Christmas, of 2007.I had gone swimming with some girlfriends to take the mounting pressure of baby belly off my back.The water felt so good, I was weightless! The next day, I had this awful pain in my side. I figured I had over done it at the pool, and decided to rest up.The pain got worse as the days went on. Christmas was comical. I was on the living room floor, in the most intense pain of my life. I still thought "Wow, this must be practice contractions." I wasn't due for another four weeks. I'd convinced myself that I would be going overdue, and having a ten pound baby. I was excited! I wanted to be that woman waddling around,... Read More

I developed HELLP Syndrome in my 36th week of pregnancy with my son. I had been experiencing high blood pressure readings since the 2nd trimester and was monitoring at home. My husband and I had gone out to dinner on January 11th, 2007, and that evening I didn't feel so well. I thought it was indigestion from dinner, but no matter how many Tums I took or how I tried to get comfortable, nothing worked. I was having some mild right quadrant pain, but nothing severe. Finally, at about 4:30 in the morning, I remembered something my OB had said at one of my recent visits. He told me to get medical attention if I started having pain in my upper right quadrant, and I remember... Read More

Today, I can tell you I celebrate the fact I have a beautiful and healthy baby girl, but things didn't start out so well!Here's a little background on how me and Brooke's journey began. Around my 28th week of pregnancy, I was begining to have signs of preeclampsiaia. My symptoms were all the regular ones, like high blood pressure, blurred vision, headaches, severe water retention in the legs/feet/face. I was progressively becoming more sick. So, to make a long story short, in my 30th week I was hospitalized... Read More

My son was born October 25, 2009. He wasn't due until December 1, 2009.On October 14, 2009, I went to the emergency room in my hometown because I was feeling a lot of pain. Turned out I was having "threatened pre-term labor". They sent me to another hospital right away where they are known for their NICU. 2 days into my stay in the hospital I caught H1N1 and they placed me in isolation for a week. The doctors continued to monitor my blood pressure and checked my urine for protein. On October 24, 2009, I was diagnosed with HELLP. My son had to be delivered right away. I delivered him on the 25th. There was blood in my urine and... Read More

Hello -I had an up and down pregnancy last year. I was told I had a 1/8 chance of having a baby with down syndrome so I did an amniocentesis and found he would be okay. It was the most scary time of my life. 1/8! I couldn't believe it since I was 34 and thought I had better odds than that. Anyway, at 29 weeks for my regular check up I went in to my appointment letting my ob-gyn know that my swelling had gotten worse and I was down to only one pair of comfortable shoes. She felt my legs and immediately told me she was going to admit me to the hospital that night and I was done working until the baby came. Of course I was in total disbelief! I had 2 1/2 months to go, how was this... Read More

When working as a labor and delivery nurse one never feels that all the things you watch out for for your patients could ever happen to you. The "rules" of pregnancy, drinking sufficient water, eating healthy, kick counts, etc... all the things done that most of the patients we see rarely do and yet even in doing all these things as one is supposed to the unthinkable still can happen.At work on a Wed, laboring a 36 week ruptured anorexic teenager with only one other nurse available due to staffing shortage, the day continues to get more and more stressful. The patient reports " I don't eat because I can't get fat and I want to nurse so I can lose as much weight as possible."... Read More

On Jan 6, 2009 we found out we were pregnant after trying for approximately 8 months and we were overjoyed. My pregnancy was watched by my GP for the first 30 weeks until I had to go see an OB/GYN. I normally have lower blood pressure but through the pregnancy my blood pressure had gone up to more normal levels which didn't concern my GP but she was keeping an eye on it just in case. I met with the OB/GYN at 30 weeks and everything was normal, same with the 33 and 35 week check ups. My ankles and feet had started to get quite swollen but the doctor wasn't concerned since it is normal for pregnant women to have swollen feet. After my 35 week check up (which was a few days after 35... Read More

Hello, my name is Tonya and I was told all my life I wouldn't be able to have any children. Well to my surprise I got pregnant with my daughter Tianna Nicole. I was horribly sick during my pregnancy from about 14 weeks on. Everyone was telling me it was normal pregnancy symptoms but I felt like something was wrong. My mom went with me to one of my appointments and she noticed on the blood pressure machine that mine was high.Since about 14 weeks they (OB Clinic) was telling me I had protein in my urine but they never did a 24 hour urine catch. After this appointment my mom talked me into switching to a private practice instead of a clinic. My first appointment with the private doctor he... Read More

I was very blessed to have wonderful doctors throughout my pregnancy. Everything seemed fine...morning sickness, a little swelling, but nothing out of the ordinary. I did call the doctor's office one morning and got a doctor that was not mine...my lips were swollen...he said not to worry, so I didn't.A few weeks later, I went in for one of my first "every week" appointments...I guess I was about week 34 or 35...my last appointment had been 2 weeks earlier. I felt really horrible, and did not want to eat because I felt so sick. I even had taken to sleeping sitting up....I told my husband I felt like I was drowning if I was lying down (he told me I...

My story begins on August 4, 1997. I was 32 weeks along with my first pregnancy. I woke up that morning with severe abdominal pain and I had chest pain. We called my doctor and I went over to their office right away. My blood pressure was skyrocketing and I was spilling protein in my urine. The doctor sent us to the hospital immediately! As soon as we got to the hospital, they started hooking me up to all of the monitors and my blood pressure was 188/118. They immediately started me on Magnesium Sulfate and my doctor came in and said that he was delivering my baby in one hour. He then took my husband outside the room and told him that I had developed HELLP syndrome. My liver and... Read More

I am hopeful that writing all this out will better help me cope and deal with my pregnancy. February of 2009, I found out I was pregnant. That was amazing news after many years of trying and many rounds of fertility drugs due to PCOS. I fell to my knees and began to cry and thank my Heavenly Father. The first 4 months were difficult due to morning sickness. I made it through by taking Zofran three times a day. I had prayed for this child over and over again and decided that I would try and do everything right. I ate really well, worked out, and just took really good care of myself. My little girl was so active all throughout pregnancy. Months 4-6 were so much fun. My energy returned... Read More

I had successfully given birth to two very healthy baby boys, with very uneventful pregnancies, I joked that I was made to have babies. I never even read the chapters or articles in the pregnancy books or magazines that discussed possible problems, thinking "that won't happen to me." How wrong I was! My third pregnancy (another boy) had me extremely swollen, ridiculous really, I had to buy new shoes just to find a pair that I could get my feet in. My blood pressure stayed steady and continually tested negative for protein in urine, so the Dr. basically told me I was having a run of bad luck with this one and stay off my feet as much as possible and keep them...

I had, what many would consider, a "perfect pregnancy" -- until I got sick. At 28 weeks I had a great prenatal appointment with no complications and appropriate weight gain. Two days latter I had a spitting headache all night that was very difficult to control. I swelled up like a balloon, and for some reason I just stopped urinating. I called my doctors office in the morning to ask just how much Tylenol I could take without harming my baby. Wisely, the nurse asked me to come in to have my blood pressure checked. Grudgingly, not wanting to be sick, I stopped by my doctor's office on my way to work. Sure enough, I had very high blood pressure. ... Read More

After renovating our house for 2 and a half years, after struggling financially for most of our 10 years together our life had finally taken shape. Our first daughter was now 3 and my wife had just given birth to our second daughter. Life was grand and my wife looked like an angel and so happy. You see she did not like being pregnant and was scared when our first daughter was born but the second was much different. She was immediately in love and looked like an angelic mommy. Just as my wife was being discharged the pediatrician on staff informed us that they would be submitting our new born into NICU and given antibiotics in fear that she had a systemic... Read More

Hi,I had never heard of HELLP syndrome before. In fact, I didn't know much about preeclampsia either, as I had a healthy first pregnancy and didn't worry myself with such complications. I read "What to Expect When You're Expecting" but always skipped over the part about complications in pregnancy. When I was pregnant with my second son, I remember doing this, saying to myself that this would be a perfect textbook pregnancy as well. Boy, was I so wrong.About one to two months before I delivered, I was getting swelling in my face, hands, and feet. I also experienced tingling in my fingers. I mentioned this to my OB/GYN and he said that I had carpal tunnel - which was common in... Read More

I think a lot of people don't know that eclampsia can hit after giving birth. I have spoken about my condition at a Heart and Stroke Foundation event and am now trying to raise awareness for eclampsia. Everything I have read seems to point to mother's dying in the emergency room due to lack of knowledge on this subject. Doctors just don't know what they are looking at.My story is from April 2008. My husband Chris and I anxioulsy awaited the birth of our first child, we had no idea whether it was a boy or a girl. We were 1 week overdue and our family GP decided it was time to induce me. They put in the gel and I went in to labor like I was supposed to. I seemed to have an... Read More

Ecosystem Services and River Basin Management

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Ecosystem services are the goods and services provided by ecosystems that maintain and improve human well-being. This framework is inherently anthropocentric, organizing ecological processes by their effects on human beneficiaries and explicitly connecting ecosystem processes to human welfare. The ecosystem services approach facilitates management of a complex system by incorporating important aspects of risk-informed management. Ecosystem services provide a framework for assessing the many stressors to and outputs of a river basin by organizing stakeholders, identifying those whose actions affect the provision of ecosystem services and those whose well-being will be impacted by changes in the provision of ecosystem services, and by delineating the mechanisms by which land-use changes affect stakeholders. The framework is best used to assess changes in ecosystem service delivery and can be useful for considering the trade-offs among services provided by a variety of plausible future land-use scenarios. Within the ecosystem services framework, stakeholder beneficiaries identify the ecosystem services they find valuable. Ecosystem service valuation is not necessarily monetary valuation, but using money as a common currency for comparison can aid decision-making. Economic valuation approaches have a number of problems and pitfalls, but when thoughtfully applied, they allow the possibility of payments for ecosystem services, which can be a useful tool when command-and-control regulation does not work or is politically infeasible. Overall, ecosystem services are a useful tool for river basin managers because they provide a coherent context to incorporate stakeholders and complex biophysical processes into a consistent, learning-based management scheme.

FROM: Susan A. Gendron, Commissioner
DATE: January 26, 2007
RE: Updated Schedule of Public Information Sessions on the Local Schools, Regional Support Initiative
I would also like to take this opportunity to announce an additional forum.
Many of your local legislators and school boards are holding forums around the State and have asked Department of Education staff to participate. Rather than send informational letters every few days, we will post all new information regarding forums in which Department staff are participating on the Department's website, www.maine.gov/education (click on the Local Schools, Regional Support logo). Please keep checking the site for updates.
We will also post the details regarding the interactive broadcast next week that will include more detailed information and allow viewers to have questions answered ahead of the February 5th legislative hearing.
For additional information about the Local Schools, Regional Support Initiative, contact David Connerty-Marin, Director of Communications, at 624-6620 or email@example.com .
As a reminder, the meeting originally planned for February 7, 2007 has been cancelled and replaced by public information sessions.

Good News Lies Behind Credit Card Fine Print
ARLINGTON, Va. ( TheStreet) -- Think back to the last time you applied for a credit card. If you're like most people, you probably didn't read the fine print. Who has the time, let alone the patience, to wade through all that tiny, dense text, right?
Unfortunately, credit card companies bury important account information in the fine print, and being unaware of their crucial information can lead to misuse. How can you avoid such an unfortunate event?
|Card issuers bury vital information in fine print no one reads, so find one with transparent applications.
Find an issuer with transparent applications.
Credit card application study
According to Card Hub's 2011 Credit Card Application Study, Capital One (COF) and Bank of America (BAC) do the best job of the 10 largest credit card companies in the U.S. at presenting key account terms clearly within their applications.
Besides tapping Capital One and BofA as having the most straightforward applications, Card Hub's study revealed a number of other important facts and trends, including further proof for increasing transparency throughout the credit card industry. The highlights are as follows:
- Nine of the 10 largest credit card companies in the U.S. increased their application clarity ratings relative to last year -- Wells Fargo (WFC) being the exception, but still falling less than one percentage point.
- The lowest score this year, Citi's (C) 82.1%, was more than 20 percentage points higher than last year's 59.3%, belonging to U.S. Bank (USB).
- U.S. Bank improved its clarity rating by more than 32 percentage points relative to last year.
- The most clearly listed terms across all issuers were: purchase APR, annual fee and the rewards earning policy.
- The least clearly listed terms across all issuers were: balance transfer fees and the rewards redemption policy.
Transparency within the credit card industry was a hot-button issue during the Great Recession. The CARD Act was said to have improved transparency by curtailing bait-and-switch tactics, eliminating outrageous penalty terms and, of course, requiring clearer disclosures from issuers. The results of Card Hub's Application Study simply provide further evidence that the industry's big boys have gotten the message that they must be straightforward with their customers. Still, they have a ways to go before you can truly trust that everything you need to know about your credit card will be laid out clearly on the application. So stick with the most transparent issuers and, depending on your exact needs, keep in mind that you might have to hunt a bit to find balance transfer fees and rewards redemption policies on online applications. You don't want any surprises when it comes to your hard-earned money, after all. >To submit a news tip, email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

A work of fiction from the Atlantic archive provides some tongue-in-cheek insights into the selection of the Catholic Church's highest officer.
On the occasion of the papal conclave's selection of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio as Pope Francis I, the National Journal posted a thoughtful piece this morning about the public-relations strategies that could come into consideration during the election of a new pope. According to authors Brian Resnick and Elahe Izade, the PR campaign for a pope may not be all that different from a PR campaign for a U.S. President or other political leader.

"The pope is a religious leader, a diplomat, and the chief executive of a massive, worldwide operation. And when a new pope is named, the new leader of the Catholic Church will confront an organization dealing with more than its fair share of scandal, mismanagement, and outreach problems," they write. So, by that logic, "it sounds like the pope could use a political consultant."
Can you imagine?!
... If not, don't worry. Christopher Buckley did that once, and he wrote about it for The Atlantic in 2003.
Buckley's short story "We Have a Pope!" paints a scathingly satirical picture of what the PR campaign for the election of a pope might look like. Rick Renard, a jaded Washington public-relations strategist and part-time grad-school instructor in strategic planning, is approached by a pious billionaire to head up the campaign to get the first American pope elected.
Back in his study and badly in need of a drink, I said thoughtfully, "Mr. Baroom, this isn't going to be easy." I tell my graduate students this is a tactful way of saying I'm going to want a lot of money.
He took a fountain pen and scribbled on a piece of paper and slid it across the table. It was an impressive number, with a beautiful string of zeros, like a strand of pearls. It was a number that you could retire on. I found myself thinking, You know, maybe it is time that we had a Pope.
"This would be the fee for a successful outcome?" I asked.He took back the piece of paper and drew a line through a few of the pearls. "Your retainer. Make it happen and I'll add those zeros back."
According to the National Journal, the pontiff should be prepared to address the biggest problems within the church, including (and perhaps most notably) its sex-abuse scandals:
Democratic strategist Mo Elleithee says the pope needs to address the church's main problems—the sex-abuse scandals and the perception that it's behind-the-times—"immediately and convincingly" to shore up confidence. "It's not that different from politics here--you've got connect with people, convince them that you 'get them' and that you're willing and able to fix institutional problems," he says.
Democratic strategist Maura Dougherty suggested to NJ that the church really should think about getting some help from a PR firm to, as the authors put it, "promote positive stories of the good work it does around the world." And Rick Wilson, a Republican strategist, added that the new pope (and his PR team) could benefit from taking more assertive control of the media's narrative; that the Catholic Church should start to "play a little hardball."
Rick Renard's wealthy client seems prepared to play a little hardball of his own to get his American pontiff—albeit of a sort of half-baked variety of hardball.
He leaned back with a squeak of expensive leather. "The French want it, you know. So bad they can taste it. They're already in there maneuvering, cutting their deals. Their little cheesy deals. Can you imagine a French Pope?"
"Mr. Baroom," I said, "I don't even want to think about that. But, sir, these recent, uh, developments ... " I thought "developments" sounded better than "widespread pedophile scandals." "How do you see that, that is, in the context of electing an American Pope? Give me the benefit of your input here." I tell my graduate students that this is a way of saying to the client, Were you on drugs, or just drunk, when you came up with this idea?
... "These scandals give us an advantage going in."
"I hadn't thought of that."
Just Because He Shuffled Pedophiles Around and Paid Hush Money Doesn't Mean He Wouldn't Make a Fabulous Pope. It wasn't sticking to my bumper.
"It's the last thing anyone would expect. You know the saying: 'He who enters a conclave papabile leaves a cardinal.'"That old chestnut. Of course. I gave a sort of low chuckle by way of pretending that I knew exactly what he was talking about. Later I learned that papabile is not a kind of pasta but means "Pope-able." That is, electable. Whatever.
Dougherty told the National Journal that the Catholic Church often gets denied due credit for its good works because they've been overshadowed by the sex-abuse scandals--which "was appropriate," she added. "You can't skirt around something like that. All the good PR in the world won't help you—and shouldn't help you—with that."
