Hi, Ladies! So excited to see you all!
Well, for this speed scrap I had really wanted to do a project with you that really didn't entail scrapping a layout but instead using scrap supplies to make something crafty (don't worry, no glue and such was going to be needed) but I didn't find the things I was looking for so I'll bench that for another time :)
Ok, here's step 2:
Step 1: choose 2 pics and cut to circle shape
Step 2: either frame the pics using a circle frame or mat of your choice (whatever pattern or plain works for your pics!)

Help I Need to Know the GOOD, BAD and the UGLY about Purchasing DVC!
I am trying to decide if DVC membership is something for us.
Some background we are a family of five DH, myself and our 3 dds ages 15, 14 and 2. I have always loved everything Disney and had the opportunity to visit Disneyland many times as a child, teen and young adult as my grandfather (now deceased) lived in California. Fast forward to 2005 when for the first time DH and I took our 2 dds to WDW and what I thought would be a once in a lifetime trip turned into 8 trips to WDW (some without DH ), 3 Disney cruises, a stay at Disneys Vero Beach (combined with a cruise) and a trip to DLR. We have stayed at Value, Moderate and Deluxe resorts. I really enjoyed our last true visit (including park time) in 2011 to WDW staying at AKL and fell in love with the Deluxe experience. After our Fantasy cruise last year we did a night at POP (which I had enjoyed in the past) before flying home and not to be a resort snob I just couldnt see myself staying there again. This year we didnt do any Disney related trips, DH and I did a couples trip to New Orleans and we did a family trip to a resort in Jamaica which was nice but I found myself suffering from Disney withdrawl lol. When given the choice of another Disney cruise or WDW for our next trip in March dds unanimously chose WDW. Now DH is less of a Disney fan/freak as the rest our family but he does appreciate the Disney brand and is always comparing (especially the customer service) the experiences hes had at Disney when we go elsewhere he is often disappointed and complains that they dont do things like Disney. On the purchase of a DVC he is more on the fence as we initially contemplated purchasing a vacation home in Florida (we are Canadian) but decided that we really go to Florida to Disney and would miss out on staying on property. Now with another little girl in tow DH has resigned himself to the fact that we will be continuing to do more vacationing at WDW and once our older dds have children I can see us bringing grandchildren as well. Being a family of five soon our youngest dd will count in the room so I started thinking perhaps DVC would be the way to go instead of having to get two rooms or pay a ridiculous price for a suite. DH though is still not sure about purchasing a piece of the mouse. Now I have been researching purchasing DVC for a while now and am a little overwhelmed with all the information. I am leaning toward resale probably at SSR (which we dont have a problem staying atthough it would also be nice to try other resorts) which seems like the best bang for your buck right now and seems to have lower yearly fees. We would most likely to go to WDW in March or August so not sure of use year?? We did rent points (privately though someone on the DIS) once to stay at Vero Beach and enjoyed it so that got the wheels turning about a DVC purchase. I know this is long winded and I appreciated anyone who takes the time to read this as I am just trying to figure out if purchasing DVC makes sense for my family. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

I am also in the process of considering whether to purchase. I started a similar thread a couple days ago. It shouldn't be too far down the page and is titled "would you purchase." You will find some good perspectives in there. I think we are definitely going to buy resale, but are going to rent points for a split stay so we can decide on a home resort. Good luck!

I have bought 3 times
HI! I am a 3 time purchaser of DVC. We love it. We live in Nevada and use it everywhere we can.
A quick word about resale. We have been told (I have yet to do it as I currently have 610 points at DWL and SSR) that if you buy resale, there are limitations to the use. We have been told that you are not able to use the points ANYWHERE except the DVC. You cannot use them with RCI or The Disney Collections or anywhere else that I can use my points. You cannot trade them to go other places. This information was as of last year. Please check BEFORE you begin the process. DVC has changed the way we travel. We are so happy with our purchases that we are usually in a deficit each year. I would recommend the high quality and ease of use to any person looking into a time share. Disney is the benchmark to which all others should attain. They are professional and more flexible than any that we looked into. You would not go wrong if you purchased. |

This is wrong.
You can you your points for RCI exchanges and a few others exchanges like club Intrawest. If you buy direct you can use your points for cruises, Adventure by Disney and regular Disney hotels rooms booking, for resorts that do not have a DVC resort attached (like the Poly). However before thinking that these option might limit you, please take a look at the points charts. I'm staying two weeks in September at AKV for less points that a 3 nights cruise would cost in points. ABDs are crazy expensive. Also, cruises and other exchanges are a perk, are not guaranteed by your contract, so Disney might remove them tomorrow. And booking is subject to availability, meaning that not all dates and categories are available for points booking. Neither RCI is a good use of points, if done on a regular basis. There are other timeshares that are sold for 1$ on ebay that have lower maintenance fees and give more trading opportunities than DVC (DVC can book only a subset of all RCI resorts). So in my opinion purchasing resales will not remove anything worth the price difference at the moment. Things may change in the future. Is double the price worth the peace of mind? |

I think renting points will have given you a good idea of the product, so that is good. SSR is indeed the best bang for your buck right now. They say to buy where you love to stay; so if you buy thinking 'we'll stay at SSR usually but will try other resorts sometimes' I think you are safe. If you buy thinking 'we want to stay at BCV as much as possible' you may find it hard to get your reservations regularly. I guess my point is that home resort does have meaning in DVC so make sure you choose wisely. That said, we are buying SSR too and love the theming, location and two feature pools.We also want to try other places but will never feel 'stuck' there. We are also supplementing with a few direct points at GFV.
If you have one on the way or even just a brand new one, it sounds like you'll have years and years of fun. You may want to consider if/when your resale point would be -- if you won't use it when the girls are in college, it's probably good to get SSR, GCV, AKV or another that has a longer contract life so you can resell with some years on it. Or use it on couples / grandparent trips |

The problem with being a newbie is that most don't know what they want and even after reading about the resorts and looking at pictures, your favorite will probably change after you stay at the different resorts a couple of times.
DVC will change the way that you vacation and it will cost you much more than you expect. Yes there is no other place as great as Disney for vacations but it comes at a high price. DVC can save you money on your room but you will probably spend any savings at Disney. DVC also makes you see behind the Disney curtain and you will soon realize that they are like other companies putting profit ahead of customer satisfaction in many areas. Once you have a few problems with your DVC account or a MS CM who doesn't know what they are doing, or rooms with cleaning and/or maintenance issues you start to see the real Disney. Information is power, keep reading and learning as much as you can before buying, you will be glad you did. Bill

DVC can be a good value for onsite wdw stays due to the crazy prices for the onsite hotels. and it is a MUCH better value at resale prices than direct prices. trading out through RCI is EQUALLY AVAILABLE to resale owners as to direct owners. but it's also a similarly poor deal - like direct owners trading a new lexus for a hyundai elantra, while resale owners trade a used lexus for that elantra. there are much cheaper ways to accomplish renting other timeshares or taking cruises (or even staying at onsite wdw hotels) than by buying extra DVC pts to cover those trades. DVC pts are best used at DVC resorts. it's nice to have options but you are paying dearly for those expensive options.

We bought in 2009 because we had been visiting almost yearly since 1994 and knew that it was time since they added BLT.
To be honest, there has not been much I have been disappointed with in terms of DVC. But, I went into the purchase after having learned all I could and knew what I was and was not getting. I knew I was buying a right to stay at my home resort only. While I doubt that DVC would ever remove one of the WDW from the "club", they can. So, I bought and own where I love to be--BLT and BWV-- and pretty much stay at those two every time. We have had luck trading out to other resorts and have tried, VWL, BCV, and AKV. While they were nice--AKV is probably my favorite in terms of the "resort" other than my homes--I missed the convenience of BLT and BWV. Most of my trips are planned 11 months in advance, and being a teacher, I travel in August ever year. But, my first year, I had no problem getting other resorts during that time 4 months in advance (when we bought). So, I think you will have a lot of flexibility to try other places. There are certain room types that are difficult if you don't own--AKV Value and Concierge and BLT and BWV standard view. Not impossible, but highly unlikely. Having a UY just prior to when you typically travel allows for the most in terms of flexibility if you have to cancel or change a trip. So, given March and August as primary travel, a March UY is ideal, though February would work very well too. We are not bothered by the loss of daily mousekeeping. We most often stay in at least a 1 bedroom so washing the towels is no big deal. When we stay in a studio, if it is more than just two of us, I order the extra towel pack for $6--well worth it. The current DVC AP price makes it a great deal. While perks can come and go and this is not guaranteed, it really helps us get in several visits on one. For our annual summer trip, I just schedule it 51 weeks apart--going the 13th to the 20th this year and will go the 3rd to the 10th next year. We just love not having to worry about that aspect of our trip. We like that we can go in any room size, at any time of the year, and bring family and friends if we want. Not getting the Disney deals don't bother us either. We hated waiting and hoping for specials and never did get one of those elusive pins. Now, we don't have to worry. What we save in the long run is well worth not being part of "free dining" or any other promotion Disney is running. Good luck!
The GOOD - Disney is a fantastic place to vacation with your family and friends. It will provide many, many years of enjoyment even as the children grow older and start their own lives. If you find a year you do not want to go to Disney points are bankable and can be used the following year. Or you can rent your points out yourself or through a service. I have found renting points to be easy but it is time consuming.
The BAD - Annual dues will always be there and they can and usually do go up ever year. Because you are coming from a long distance travel costs to get there can be higher some years than others, it is not as easy as hopping in the car for a weekend getaway. Disney raises each prices ever year on passes, dining and merchandise. The UGLY - It is a timeshare and timeshare are for profit. We purchase direct in 2008 and have added three other contracts, one was direct, two were resale. We only use the points for Resorts, it there comes a day we choose to do another cruise, we would probably do a cash reservation and rent out our points that years as do not receive as much value for your points when exchanging them for a cruise. Good Luck with your decision. |

There are a couple of things you said that make me a bit nervous, as well as one thing you didn't say. First off, please know that you're not "buying a piece of the mouse". I know it sounds fun to think of it that way, but you're really just buying a timeshare. The fact that it's a Disney timeshare doesn't really change anything. Second, I'm always a little nervous when people talk about buying to satisfy potential future, future needs. Your daughters are 15 and 14. I think it's a little early to start making plans for grandkids. Finally, the one piece of information that you didn't share (and rightfully so) but something you should consider is the financial impact of a DVC purchase. DVC is a large chunk of cash up front, followed by smaller, but sizable payments each and every January. Then on top of that is the actual cost of the vacation itself, which definitely adds up. This is definitely something that you should factor into your thought process. I am a big advocate of giving oneself options. With DVC, the number one cause of problems is the realization that someone can't afford or doesn't really enjoy their DVC membership. Depending on how they purchased, their options might be incredibly limited and/or costly. By buying SSR resale, you will have significantly less risk should you realize in a few years that DVC is not for you. That being said, I agree with the other posters who suggest you read as much as you can. In the end, only you know if this is the right move for you or not. It certainly has worked out well for many, many people. Good luck!

Fact: We are tight with our points, but don't usually stay in studios. So it is mostly one bedroom villas. BLT, GFV, AKV-Sav view (there isn't any other reason to stay at AKV) all require a large number of points. So these are not in our future. We did book BLT last fall because our son was dying to stay there, so we booked during his fall break from college. But Hurricane Isaac decided to come through Baton Rouge, so they canceled fall break. He still made it for a few nights, but not the full week like we had planned. It was okay for us, but now we are in a borrowing mode for this year.
We have two upcoming trips planned to OKW (our first home and where we own the most points). And our points last us longer. And we really love it there. You have to look at the number of points required for your stays. The uninitiated also say "we'll book BWV standard view", but you won't unless you own there or are extremely lucky. They say "we'll book AKV-value studio and squeeze all four of us in the studio". Again, unless you own there, you probably won't be booking that at seven months out. Or, "GFV is new, so there should be plenty of villas available to book at seven months out", but unless that inventory is in points/DVC inventory, you won't be booking that on points. Until it gets sold and declared into DVC inventory, it's only available for cash booking. So, buy where you won't mind staying if that other DVC that you are longing to stay at doesn't show up at seven months out and you can't cancel and rebook your stay elsewhere. If your heart is set on GFV, buy lots of GFV points so you can book there. 50 or 100 points there are not going to go very far. Same with BLT and AKV-Savanna view. With your two older daughters in HS and the youngest three years away from school, you aren't going to get to use the lower point times for a long time. Plan on holidays, spring break and summers. And early December must be booked 11 months out because it is so popular with members. Same with F&W in October and Nov. Oh, and SSR one bedroom villa only has one king bed in the master and one queen sleeper sofa in the living room. They will allow five on the reservation, but you have to provide your own sleeping space (aerobed?) and any bedding/linens you will need for your fifth person. SSR, VWL, BWV and BCV do not have a sleeping space for the fifth person. DVC will not provide a cot or rollaway.

I have been wrestling with some of these same issues and I have been reading hour after hour....it is overwhelming. What I have concluded based on all of the material I have read, it boils down to this for us: ARE WE GOING TO DISNEY CONSISTENTLY? If you have 3 girls who are "Sold Out" Disney fans....you probably are. The Good: DVC gives you availability to be at on property resorts with flexibility. You get to be at Disney and all the fun stuff that happens. The Bad: Bill has said it a hundred times in the posts I have read.....Disney is expensive, and DVC will only fuel the tendency to spend money. You are likely to go more, want more points and spend more when you get there. You have to assign (as Bill has said) how much value being at Disney gives you. For us, it is sort of high....in other words, I am willing to accept the expense for the benefit I get. The Ugly: First off, as I looked over the shoulder of a member while they walked thru the reservation process, it was a lot like "lets make a deal." There are trade-offs and compromises. A resort you want may not be available, buy you might be able to book somewhere else....You may have to stay a shorter time to stay in a nicer location....or split locations. All that mental gymnastics to participate in a timeshare. That is sort of ugly when compared with calling reservations and booking the hotel you want via cash......plus they don't change the sheets everyday and all that....different from a hotel stay.... For my family, the initial headache of learning the process and making reservations is worth it to me.....I want to see the Castle change colors at BLT. I want to be able to take my mom to WDW like she took me in 1974. I would NEVER book a 1 BR suite on cash to make that happen. I could not justify the expense. But if that expense is spread out over years of visits, it means more to us and is do-able. That has been my process and I hope that helps based on our similar struggle. We will be buying something at BLT soon. I guess that is a long-winded way to say, I have been thru the process you are in, determined that it meant enough to me to do it, and accept that it is not going to be like making hotel reservation. HTH. |

You won't be booking a suite on points either. Ever. You're booking a villa. Different type of accomodations.

For FY 2014, it is anticipated that approximately $6 million will be made available to support new awards within the Food Security Challenge Area of AFRI. In FY 2014, only proposals that focus on reducing crop and livestock losses in U.S. agricultural systems will be considered for funding. Proposed projects should develop and extend sustainable, integrated management strategies that reduce pre and post-harvest losses caused by diseases, insects, and weeds in crop and animal production systems, while maintaining or improving product quality and production efficiency. Proposals should aim to develop approaches for managing losses throughout the whole food system (production, harvesting, storage, processing, distribution, and consumption), and should address the social, economic, and behavioral aspects of food security. Project types supported by AFRI within this Challenge Area will propose multi-function Integrated Research, Education, and/or Extension Projects, Food and Agricultural Science Enhancement (FASE) Grants, and conferences and/or workshops.

Finding a bridal gown that shows off your personality
The preparation that goes into one wedding cannot be imagined if you haven't experienced it yourself. The pressure of this momentous event is felt even more by the bride as she begins to find "The One"; and I'm not talking about her future husband. I am talking about the dress.
Today, brides have so many wedding gowns from which to choose. There is such a wide variety of styles, price ranges and options for customizations that the possibilities are literally endless. However, there is no need to feel overwhelmed just yet. Brides quickly figure out what they want once they start to try on a few dresses.
Every day I get to witness the magic of a bride finding her perfect match in a wedding gown. It truly is something one can see in a bride when she puts on the right dress. She may be a tomboy and never have worn a dress in her life, or been staring at magazine tear-outs years before she was even engaged.
Regardless of personality, budget, age and sense of style, there is a gown for every bride. This is not to say that every bride bursts into tears the moment she puts on "The Gown," but there is a perfect gown for every bride. Each gown speaks to a certain kind of bride, with a certain type of venue and wedding vision. From the very to the eclectic or even old Hollywood glam gowns, bridal gowns these days have as much character and personality as the brides themselves.
This bride is a girl who plays by the rules. She believes in upholding tradition. Most often full skirted ball gowns or classic A-line silhouettes are the shape of choice. Lace or duchess satin, many times with intricately beaded and embroidered trains are common characteristics found in this bride's gown. Small details like satin covered buttons along the entire length of the back, cathedral length veils, tiaras and pearl necklaces are also fitting. The overall impression is one of regal formality and classic elegance. Many times the bride's venue is a major factor in the decision making process. Typical venues for a traditional bride would include cathedrals, banquet halls, preserved mansions and historical hotels.
The modern bride is one who is very fashion-forward. She is not afraid to be heard or noticed. She has done her research and is well-versed with bridal designer names. Runway bridal trends, avant-garde looks, bold details and unique styling are coveted. Sweetheart necklines and mermaid or asymmetrical cuts are most popular among trendy brides. Whether it's feathers and fur or beading and sequins, being over-the-top is not an issue. Oversized one-shoulder straps or textured flower details make for a modern design. The wedding venues are as exciting and unexpected as the details of these gowns. Nightclubs, rooftop restaurants, contemporary art museums and urban loft spaces are just some of the innovative venues suited for this type of bride.
The alternative bride is unconventional and laid back. She may express her concern of looking like a cupcake; crinoline, if she knows what it is, is her worst nightmare. She is usually drawn to flowy, easy to wear gowns. Antique Chantilly laces, light ethereal fabrics, intricate beadwork and blush or off-colored gowns attract the eclectic bride. Antique or heirloom veils, hairpins or purses are a perfect finishing touch for this look. An intimate wedding set in a vineyard, old family farm, art gallery or botanical garden complete the mood for this bride's wedding.
Whether a bride has been dreaming of her wedding day from the time she was four years old or just started planning last minute, all brides wants to feel like they are most beautiful bride on her wedding day. Whatever the bride's personality, character, attitude and dream wedding vision, the end result for every bride is exactly the same; she finds "The One." So a few words of wisdom to those franticly searching brides out there: stay true to your personality and character, keep an open mind and breathe. Enjoy the journey.

Plenty of such pictures are available from the various weather sites. Not sure what advantage this video will have.
What weather sites have a still camera of the EARTH from 22K Miles like this one again? The only time I can come across images like these are from the space station and shuttle images. Not sure there is a weather site where I can actually see what is going on around us and even see things floating by in space.

I was at Starbucks the other day doing some work, when I impulsively decided to review one of the beverages they sell there. I picked up a bottle of Naked Blue Machine Boosted 100% Juice Smoothie which cost $4.27 - way more than I would normally spend on a (15.2 ounce) bottled beverage - so I was certainly hoping that this would not only be tasty and nutritious, but would provide some super-duper fuel for my workout later in the evening.
First off - this is not "blue" but purple-ish. But I really didn't care about that - what I can say is that this was one refreshing drink. The first sip and I could feel some of the tiredness evaporating from my body. The drink is thick, sweet and a little tart. I have not one complaint about the flavor as I enjoyed it immensely. I drank only half of the bottle in the morning, because I noticed that each 8 ounce serving provides 170 calories from 29 grams of sugars, 1 gram of protein and a surprising 7 grams of fiber (29% of the daily value).
Naked Juice Blue Machine has (according to the product page) 27 blueberries, 3 blackberries, 3 1/4 apples and 1 banana. According to the label on the bottle, this "no sugar added" juice smoothie has apple juice, banana puree, blueberry puree, fibersol-2 fiber (maltodextrin), blackberry puree, natural flavors, fruit and vegetable juice for color, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), vitamin E (AS acetate), niacinamide, D-Calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5), pyridoxine hydrochlroide (vitamin B6), cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12).
The real question is whether I would buy this again - for $2.50 or less - probably - but for $4.00+ - nope. Too expensive and too much sugar - although I could see adding some water to it since it's so thick and making it stretch. I really did like this though, and if I had enough will power to not drink the entire 2+ servings at once, I would probably buy this more often.
No I just need to get a little extra courage to try the Naked Juice Green Machine!

Same perfect fit and comfort as always.
Sized as Expected
Everyday wear.
Over the last 10 years I've owned three pairs of the Jungle Moc. They are great! Comfotable, light, durable, look good, and are reasonably priced. Excellent for walking all day on light terrain or even ground. For serious hiking you will need another shoe or boot that provides a tighter and more stable support. They don't replace hiking boots. For around town they cannot be beat. I wear them almost every day, and they hold up very well. When they do eventually wear out, I use them for yard work, which they are okay for too. One Note: I bought a pair of these for my wife, and she found she had a little to much room in the heal making the shoe to loose for her. I wear a size 10 1/2, and have a very "standard" shaped foot. No regrets for this purchase. Erik Nova Scotia Canada
Sized as Expected
Daily wear and light trails.
I have been wearing a pair of these for about two years now, and they are by far the best shoes I've ever had. They are the most comfortable. I can't stand to wear other shoes now. Also, they are extremely durable. I have been wearing this pair for about two years, and they are still in great shape. I bought two more pairs recently, and I am using the older pair for working around the house and garden. They are getting a bit dirty, but still holding up well. If I had the money, I'd buy a lifetime supply of this shoe. Seriously... Don't ever stop making them.
Sized as Expected
I use them constantly when I'm not sleeping. Everyday usage.
Jungle Moc! The perfect shoes! There are no other words to describe them, they are PERFECT. So comfy!
Sized as Expected
All day long, indoor and outdoor, in any weather conditions. As I said, they are PERFECT.

We have all come across people who rub us the wrong way. While some of us accept them for who they are and move on with our lives, others remain irritated with and fixated on how much and why they dislike them. In any event, by the time we have concluded we do not like someone, a number of our buttons have been pushed and a host of unconscious meanings and associations made. I posit that when we find ourselves not liking someone, we really don't like something about ourselves.
There is a saying, "The thing that we dislike in others is often the thing we dislike in ourselves." Now, some of you will be adamant that you do not engage in any of the behaviors that you find irritating, but chances are that you probably do – in one way or another. And, if you really do not engage in the behaviors you find off-putting, I bet there are some serious unprocessed personal reasons that can explain why you are irritated.
Our dislike for certain types of people and behaviors stem from a number of sources however, they are primarily found in our childhood (aw, come on … you knew it was coming). We can often thank our parents, siblings, and friends/bullies; this should give you something to fodder when you are selecting their next birthday or holiday present. In any event, the reasons behind your dislike will probably fall in to one or more of the following categories:
You grew up witnessing someone behave a certain way and vowed that you would NEVER do that when you grew up or were in similar circumstances. What is important to note here is that chances are you HAD to put up with it because you were powerless to change it.
- While you believe certain behavior is bad, it is alright when you do it because you are the exception to the rule and know how to turn the negative behavior into something positive (the word of the day here is – hypocrite).
- You are oblivious to your actual behavior. When people try to give you feedback, you may be dismissive, feel they are completely off-base or just plain crazy.
- You may know what bothers you consciously but have a hard time talking about it in an open and honest way. "Talking" is easier said than done and is one of THE most difficult things to do. If you are successful, you will be able to move beyond it and find that the behavior no longer bothers you.
So what should you do when you find yourself not liking someone or something they are doing? Well, try the following:
Stop and ask, "Why does this really bother me?"
- Think about what you have done that may be similar to what is being done now.
- Ask yourself when was the first time you can remember getting upset about something like this.
- If you get stuck, schedule an appointment with your therapist. Don't have one? Give me a call or shoot me an email. I am more than happy to help!
So, where do you fall when it comes to disliking someone or their behavior? Do tell!

Onal H et al. – In in vitro fertilization (IVF) babies, despite normal neonatal screening tests, subclinical hypothyroidism might be observed that suggests the need for screening in this respect.
Methods- A total of 98 healthy, term IVF newborns were evaluated between postnatal 2–4 weeks of age by screening of thyroid functions between July 2006 and April 2008.
- Ten subjects were assessed as a study group whose thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were higher than 6.5 mU/L.
- Control group consisted of randomly selected 10 naturally conceived infants with hyperthyrotropinemia (whose TSH levels were higher than 6.5 mU/L but under 15 mU/L) with the same age.
- All children were thoroughly examined, and serum fT4, TSH, anti-thyroid peroxidase and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies were measured, and a thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) test was performed in all subjects in both groups.
- Euthyroid hyperthyrotropinemia was diagnosed in approximately 10% of IVF babies.
- Exaggerated TSH levels to TRH were obtained in all IVF babies (subclinical hypothyroidism) but in none of the controls.
- A significant difference was noted in the concentration of TSH at the 20th min between the two groups (p < 0.001).
- Besides, sustained and delayed TSH responses were observed in IVF babies. Neonatal screening tests were negative in both of the groups.

This is a paddling, must be said.
This is a paddling, must be said.
Just after Cowan got out the commentators were discussing which of the four tons in this match they each thought was best; they were swaying towards Cowan because it was more significant in the context of his career ... but that aside I think Clarke has comfortably scored the best hundred of the four now.

Clarke had a little luck at times today, particularly with a couple of short ones, but that aside today was very similar to what he and Ponting did to India in Sydney, with just the one wicket falling. It's amazing how seamlessly he moves through gears now. Credit to him.
Have to say the SA bowlers toiled hard, and kudos to the visitors for the warm hand shakes at the end of such a long day for them

So the South African bowlers couldn't buy a wicket the whole day (just a (lucky) run out) on a day 4 pitch.
HowSTAT! Batting Statistics
Ok, the first 6 guys didn't get to 1000 in 11. Presumably all the guys down to Lara (03) didn't, unless they averaged about 20 after passing 100, and Lara didn't, Ponting (06), Hayden (03) and Sobers (58) didn't either. It's hard to see anyone else doing it.
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?

Look back at some of the Apple innovator's more memorable quotes.
''The problem is I'm older now, I'm 40 years old, and this stuff doesn't change the world. It really doesn't. I'm sorry, it's true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We're born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It's been happening for a long time. ... But it's a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light — that it's going to change everything. Things don't have to change the world to be important.''- Wired Magazine, February 1996

The collection offers an array of fashionable colors to meet all your decorating needs. Hand crafted in India.
- Collection: Khazana
- Brand: Kaleen
- Material: 100% Wool

- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
The quality is very good. Colors are too. Not too muted, not too vivid. I added to a living room that was already furnished and was concerned about how the addition of such a colorful rug would work. It's just great. Colorful yet subtle, it ties the whole room together. Very pleased.

RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Wow....I wanted something different and that's what I got....beautiful colors....At first I didn't think I liked it with my more rust than cranberry couch but I love it now and have had only positive comments ...ONLY problem being wool it sheds....not alot but enough to keep after...I hope it is the last rug I have to purchase. I was nervous about ordering on-line but I did not need to be.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug is beautiful. I purchased an 8x10 rug and a runner for my Early American living room and entry hallway (all hardwood). The patchwork style fits in perfectly with the rest of my petit point rugs. The purple and red are less intense in person than in the photo. I'd call it a muted violet. The red is also more muted, and definitely not burgundy. The rest of the colors seem fairly true to the photo.

Scout's Portrait By Artist Brooklyn Lamb
Posted: Jan 26 2012
Posted: Jan 26 2012
Posted: Oct 08 2011
Posted: Feb 16 2009
The following article is a collection of thoughts on my experience with my 12 week old puppy, Scout. I hope that it may offer some insight into the emotional side of raising a puppy. And, hopefully it may help someone out there feel like they're not alone.
As a dog trainer, I've read volumes of books on how to raise a puppy. I've also helped countless new owners wade through the ins and outs of puppyhood. But, boy-oh-boy, there's nothing like the real thing, baby! Every puppy is a brand new experience no matter how many you've raised. And each experience allows us to grow as humans and dog-lovers.
Being active in breed rescue for many years, the thought of getting a puppy from a breeder was both terrifying and exhilarating. I spent hours upon hours researching breeders and various breeds. I called dozens of individuals and interviewed them – How many litters did they raise a year? What were they hoping to achieve in particular mating? What was their philosophy on training? What certifications did they perform on their sires and dams? I poured over pedigrees and investigated lineages. When I finally selected a breeder, I knew I had done everything I could to ensure I would get a healthy pup from a reputable kennel.
I was so happy when the breeder called to tell me the mating took and her dam was expecting. I was even happier when I found out the puppies were "on the ground" and that they along with their mom were all safe and healthy. I followed my pup's growth from day 1 to day 49 in a daily picture diary kept by my wonderful breeder. Then finally the moment I'd been waiting for arrived – the day came for me to take my puppy home.
With a house full of puppy supplies, I thought I was prepared for anything. I had dog crates, puppy pens, puppy pads, stain remover, chew deterrent, dog toys, dog beds, chewies, dog vitamins, supplements, healthy dog treats and premium dog food galore. But, of course when my puppy finally arrived, all of my sense went right out the window! Scout looked so small and fragile I thought he might break. When he slept almost all the way through the first night I was sure he wasn't going to wake up – that I'd somehow killed him! I checked on him every half-hour to see if he was still breathing.
I was so afraid of doing something wrong I couldn't enjoy my new life with Scout. Dog training – my passion, my livelihood, made me feel cumbersome and awkward with Scout. I felt depressed instead of exhilarated after each session. And not because of Scout – he was wonderful! I guess I felt that I wasn't doing enough, that it wasn't perfect. And so went the first three weeks with Scout. Here was this darling little puppy, smart as a whip, ready and willing to learn and me, feeling like a complete failure.
And then, the unthinkable happened. What I'd been dreading actually materialized. On Thanksgiving Day, Scout became seriously ill. A sudden and violent onset of vomiting and diarrhea sent us racing to the emergency vet. Scout, being so young, was taken immediately to the isolation room for fear that he might be stricken with deadly Parvo-virus. As I paced in the waiting room, I berated myself for not taking better care of him, for not doing more. I was sobbing when the vet finally came to talk to me. It wasn't Parvo, probably just an intestinal bug – they would know in a matter of minutes. A short course of antibiotics and a week of chicken and rice would get Scout back on the right track.
On the ride home from the vet's office, it finally hit me. I'd spent so much time worrying about what might go wrong that I couldn't possibly enjoy everything that was going right. I also realized that it's a lot easier to train another person's dog than to train your own. That's because there's no fear of "doing it wrong". When people come to me help with dog training, I can be objective and clear-headed. They tell me what they need, and I set out a plan to achieve those goals. When I trained my rescue dog, Daisy, it was the same. Her "problems" were not my mistakes, and any training I did with her would only serve to make her life better. What an eye-opener!
I'm happy to say that since my very humbling realization, my outlook and my training have been great! I've stopped worrying about every little thing that might go wrong, and I've started paying a lot more attention to all the wonderful things that happen every single day! As a matter of fact, as I sit here typing, Scout is showing off his very beautiful retrieving skills. Aren't puppies the greatest?

Our Favorite Startups From Women's Demo Night, Hosted by New York Tech Meetup and Change the Ratio
"How different is this room right now, in terms of the percentages of women versus men?" Jessica Lawrence, the managing director of New York Tech Meetup asked the audience at the second Change the Ratio and NYTM Women's Demo night on Tuesday. She had a point. The crowd gathered at Facebook's Midtown offices to watch women-run founders demo their startups was diverse in terms of age, race, and ethnicity, yet predominately female.
Ms. Lawrence kicked off the evening by confessing that, even as the event's organizer and a former Girl Scouts CEO, she had mixed feelings about the self-selecting event. "In some ways," she said, "having a whole separate stage just for women sometimes kind of defeats the purpose." Read More

Johnson participated in a six part series that chronologically mapped the locations and people in history, which aided Africans in the transition to America.
The series is titled "The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross."
It explores 500 years and two continents to shed new light on the experience of being an African American.
"I feel like history has been told in the United States minus Black History and I just felt like it was really time for the real history of black America to be told. It has been hidden for far to long. We dwell in a place that has some of the richest history in black America and its recognition is long over due. I am just proud to know that there are people in position now to tell our story," said Johnson.
"I often say that if anyone needs to tell it, we should tell it. I am very elated to be apart of the story being told."
According to Johnson, former mayor Dr. Henry Louis Gates, received a large grant to aid in the production of the series.
Johnson is set to appear on episode three of the six part series, titled "Into the Fire".
This episode examines African-American history, the Civil War and the end of slavery, and Reconstruction.
"Dr. Gates interviewed Dr. Eulah Peterson and I, about one year ago. We explained the opulent and substantial history of the great town of Mound Bayou. The town is highly significant in African American history because former slaves founded it. Jefferson Davis and his brother Joe Davis were part of a plantation in south Mississippi.
"Joe Davis was the older brother of Jefferson Davis and he was a very, very rich person. He had the most prosperous plantation in the south and the way that he ran his plantation was different from all of the other plantations because he allowed his slaves to be educated," said Johnson as he explained the origin of Mound Bayou. "The person who actually ran his plantation conglomerate was the father of the founder of Mound Bayou and the uncle of the other founder. They both were highly educated. I call them agriculture geniuses. After the slaves founded Mound Bayou, 15 years later, it became the most highly economically booming place in this part of Mississippi. It actually led Cleveland tremendously in industry," said Johnson.
According to Gates, throughout the course of the series, viewers will see that the road to freedom for black people in America was not linear, but more like the course of a river, full of loops and eddies, slowing, and occasionally reversing the current of progress.

Bubbles, Brix and Buzz IIWomen for WineSense ~ Napa | Sonoma ChapterWednesday, February 20, 2013 from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM (PST) |
Back by popular demand!
Last year Bubbles, Brix and Buzz SOLD OUT at Gloria Ferrer.
We expect to repeat the success of this fabulous networking event this February 20th.
~ 5:30 - 6:00 p.m. Event Checkin ~
With bubbles in hand, hobnob with the wittiest, brightest, cleverest and funniest in the world―your fellow members of Women for WineSense! Come network and create some buzz with the friends you haven't seen in months (or perhaps since our last event). Hear the buzz as we announce all our 2013 plans for the Napa|Sonoma chapter of Women for WineSense. We'd truly like to see all our members there at this fun event.
Most importantly, we'd like you to bring your friends so everyone can make new friends! Please forward this invitation to your non-member friends. (When you become a member, you can save up to $80 on event tickets annually, in addition to receiving other member benefits. Join now and save $$ on future events!) Exchange business cards with other colleagues in the wine and hospitality industries. To learn a bit more about our host, take a look at this WWS blog post about Gloria Ferrer from last year's event.
~ The Wines ~
We'll be tasting award-winning Gloria Ferrer wines exclusively, beginning with their Sonoma Brut followed by the 2004 Royal Cuvée and 2007 José S. Ferrer Pinot Noir. Come hear a bit about how sparkling wine is made and about the Ferrers long history in winemaking. (Gloria Ferrer will also be extending a special, one night only discount to attendees on wine purchases on the night of the event.)
~ Guest Speaker ~
Our special guest speaker at BBBII will be Gloria Ferrer's Vice President of Marketing (and fellow woman in wine), Eva Bertran. Having left her native Spain in 1986 — where her own family was in the wine business — she is a member of the original team that launched Gloria Ferrer, and continues to oversee the winery as devotedly as if it were her own family business.
Bertran holds a master's degree in international management from Spain's top business school, Escuela Superior de Administración y Dirección de Empresas University (ESADE). Armed with this education, she has lent her astute intelligence and dynamic energy to every job she undertakes. She is instrumental in fostering the Catalonian traditions through every facet of Gloria Ferrer, infusing the company culture with her own casual elegance, quick wit, and enthusiasm. [Read more...]
~ WWS Roundtables ~
Would you love to get to know other members of WWS a whole lot better? You can! Join one of the Napa|Sonoma chapter's roundtables to build stronger relationships with your peers and connect with others working in the wine industry. We'll have several representatives from each of our professional roundtables situated at tables throughout the Gloria Ferrer grand tasting room to explain the benefits and topics covered by each of our 10 roundtables. Best of all, there's no additional cost to joining a professional roundtable (or two, or three!). The only requirement is to be a Professional member of Women for WineSense. Read about a typical roundtable meeting here on our blog, or watch the video below (created by member Lisa Gottfried, of Video in a Minute), to learn about the benefits.
~ Raffle and Silent Auction Bidding ~
Women for WineSense awarded $5,000 in scholarship funds last year to four grateful students enrolled in wine/viticulture studies at U.C. Davis, Sonoma State University, Napa Valley College and Santa Rosa Junior College.
This year we'd like to surpass the total 2012 funds raised to award another four deserving students with scholarships at these schools. Funds are raised throughout the year at our events via raffle tickets, donations from wine industry suppliers and individuals.
There are many ways you can contribute to help deserving students meet their wine and viticultural education goals with us:
All proceeds go to our Scholarship Fund.
Silent Auction will close by 6:45 p.m. at the event.
Space is limited. (We SOLD OUT last year.)
Please register early to ensure availability.
Registration deadline: 9pm on 2/17!
Tickets go up to $45 at the door if you miss the registration deadline!
We hope to see you there! Cheers!

Alcohol will be served at this event. No one under 21 will be served.
What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?
Parking is available in Gloria Ferrer's lot.
Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Danyluk gave numerous tips on what FDA inspectors will likely do based on a round of inspections at tomato facilities in 2007.
Danyluk's advice is to clean and sanitize all packinghouse areas. She said inspectors would probably swab hard-to-clean spots on equipment that would be easy to reach with a cotton swab but difficult to keep clean.
Both Danyluk and Oleson stressed the importance of having written procedures for cleaning and sanitizing. They also said it is important to document cleaning and sanitizing as separate activities, as well as recording when the action was taken.
"Last year Burch Farms could not show a clean break between different lots (they packed) and that caused them problems," said Danyluk, referring to a listeria-related recall that ended with a North Carolina grower recalling all cantaloupe and honeydew melons last year.

Too harsh - 10/22/2014 8:43:41 AM I have extremely sensitive, acne prone skin. This product states that it is gentle, however, it irritated my face for a couple of days and made me break out badly, both times I tried using it.Amazing Moisturizer for Oily, Acne Prone Skin - 9/4/2014 7:58:26 AM This is an expensive moisturizer as it only lasts me for less than 2 months (I use a pump in the morning and a pump at night). However, the pump is efficient as every little bit of product is sucked up and no need to try to use your fingernails to get the leftover product. Price aside, this moisturizer is great for my combination/oily/acne prone skin, but it moisturizers my skin enough even though I use acne treatments that normally dry out my skin and causes it to flake sometimes. Love it at night as my skin looks bright and clear in the mornings and love it even under makeup throughout the day.Wow - 8/7/2014 9:08:18 AM This can be intense, but in a very good way. You know it's working, you feel it working, and the results are facial worthy. The key with this is to be gentle, the product is active. Use common sense and use a small amount. Also if it burns, take it off, if it stings slightly leave on briefly. Listen to your skin. The enzymes will break down dead skin cells, and then the grit will smooth skin further. You will want to ease into this product, using once a week, without massaging into the skin. The next time you will massage very gently, and remove quickly. The skin will be pink, bringing blood to the surface of the skin, and giving you that amazing glow.Love this!! - 5/23/2014 5:35:29 PM I have cystic acne and this works on those nodules very well. In most cases, the cyst disappears within 2 days. Haven't found anything else that is this effective.100% Recommended - 1/3/2014 4:23:17 AM My skin was really irritated and nothing seems to help/work! Now I'm using Kate Somerville's oil free moisturizer and I'm so happy!!! I was really exhausted and disappointed by lots of products. Now I'm really satisfied and I'm going to repurchase!!!- 12/13/2013 6:06:08 PM I tried a sample of the original ExfoliKate and loved it. My face is somewhere between sensitive and normal so I erred on the side of caution and ordered the full size in sensitive. I love it! Still exfoliating and makes me feel fabulous without as much redness. I'm very happy!!SO EASY....LOVE IT - 7/4/2013 9:13:55 AM Fo someone who has struggled with self tanning products, these are so easy to use and have a nice even color.Minty fresh - 6/18/2013 11:03:55 AM For years, I used the Cosmedix Purity Clean which is quite similar to Kate's Purify cleanser, but more difficult to find. This is a terrific substitute, and I think it smells ever better they're both minty. This cleanser is a bit harsh for my aging combo skin to use twice daily, but as a morning pick-me-up only, it's terrific. Makes me feel like I'm starting the day with a clean slate.You will see a difference - 5/14/2013 11:10:35 AM I use and try a lot of stuff!!! I definitely saw a big improvement in my skin the texture, tone, color, hydration, less fine lines after using this product for two weeks. I already have great skin so very few products actually result in me seeing better skin, but this one did. My GF recommended KS to me. I also love the Goat Milk. It's very hydrating, not greasy, no fragranc added, works great over this serum. Highly recomend KS line!Works on Super-Fair Skin! - 3/27/2013 5:47:01 PM These tan towels were a miracle for me. They gave my super-white skin a natural looking tan, which is hard to find in self tanners. They don't stink, are really easy to use and you can do your whole body with one towel. A+! -
Learn More About Kate Somerville
With the Kate Somerville skincare collection, you can create a daily regimen of professional strength products to help you address your biggest skincare concerns. The brand uses a simple approach to product formulation to help you achieve your skin care goals without having to use a complicated regimen of products on a daily basis. Most regimens that consist of Kate Somerville products can be completed within just 2 minutes, and clinical studies show that a daily routine that uses formulas from the brand that are ideal for an individual's dermatological concerns can lead to major improvements in the health of the skin in just 28 days.
Kate Somerville's skincare philosophy can be summed up by the Skin Health Pyramid, a principle developed by Somerville and used at the Medi-Skin Clinic for treatment planning. The foundation of the pyramid is Protection, keeping the skin safe from the effects of free radicals and ultraviolet radiation. By shielding the skin from these harmful environmental factors, the risk of future damage decreases, and the skin is better able to recover from previous damage.
Hydration builds upon Protection in the Skin Health Pyramid and involves replenishing the skin's supply of vital moisture to keep it as supple and resistant to wrinkling as possible. From there, Feed and Stimulate formulas provide essential nutrients and promote rejuvenation to boost skin health. Finally, Detox products are used to help liberate impurities from the pores and the deeper skin tissue, rounding out a healthy daily regimen.
