New thread time ladies.
Here's the link to your old thread.

Morning! Well, afternoon!! Hope everyone is well today...
Scruff - I just saw your desire for cat bisuits... classic~~~
Speaking of which, my cravings and aversions have really kicked in this week! Hate the thought of toasted tomato and cheese sandwiches ewwwwww, sucks because its one of those things you can eat. Oh, and back on the chocolate which is not good.
Anyway, no sign of spotting / bleeding for 3 days now and feeling a little more relaxed although I still have concerns that it could happen again (OB said it could). I am a touch concerned that it could be pooling in me - won't know for a couple fo weeks when I have my NT scan. Booked that in for two weeks time, booked hospital today - got some stuff done which is good.
Emso - How are you today hun? So hope you have not had any more bleeding and are resting up... so scary hey... take care.
Neane - There you are? Hope you are really well and good to see you back chatting.
Everyone else - hope you are all well..

Satay - glad to hear the bleeding/spotting has stopped. Hopefully it doesn't come back! I completely understand being turned off food... for the first 8 weeks i lived off toasted cheese sandwiches and then all of a sudden worst thing ever, havent' had one since.
Scruff - desire for cat biscuits? should I be concerned? LOL *goes off to find said post*
Afm - trying really hard to take it easy... but i'm so bored!!! day time tv sucks. And because I dont feel sick I feel silly lying in bed and not doign anything, but i'm not allowed to sweep or mop or vaccuum or anything. urgh! so much needs to be done around the house urgh! In a more positive light i can finally feel the babies kicks from the outside now... DH is yet to feel them because they always stop movign when he touches me. The more movement I feel the more relaxed i am. I have some minor spotting but nothign to be concerned about.
I've managed to get my sister and her partner around on saturday to help rip up the last room of carpet so i dont have to do any heavy lifting. Dh is going to be trolley pusher on the weekend doing the groceries because he doesnt want me to do be doing that. We also discovered that our solar heating for the pool had a big hole in it from our neighbours bouganvillea which meant water was gushing out and dropping the pool level daily. Dh has managed to get some bits and pieces to repair it and should be fixed over the weekend, I feel really helpless because I can't do anything and i'm so used to being a hands on kind of person. We have also organised which air con company we are going with, just to pick a date and we will hopefully have ducted air cond installed by the end of the month.
Our next big thing to do is sort out the nursery furniture, my parents and grandparents have offered to pay for both the cots and the pram. which is a massive help. Just gotta figure out how to organise it all. I can't wait to start setting up the room. It will finally feel real. Just hope I get the all clear to start doing things again.
only 3 more sleeps till our morph scan! I'm so excited!!
Posted 09 November 2012 - 02:47 PM
Hi ladies
Glad to read some positive posts on here!!
Satay - glad to hear the spotting has calmed down and you are getting round to booking things up!! exciting and not long till that NT scan which hopefully can set a lot of your fears to rest xx
Emso - take it easy!!! I know it might be boring but its needed so love the fact that your DH is doing all the work!! totally get how you would feel guilty but dont! ha ha! Am soo glad things have calmed down for you too and oh my god 3 more sleeps until the morph scan how exciting!! are you finding out sex? Mine is in 6 more sleeps.....
Neane - good to see you back
Scruff!! Cat biscuits??? My only craving has been for cheeseburgers but I havent let myself indulg yet..! its been tough though!!!
AFM not much to report - have started doing online research for baby items and have found an awesome wicker moses basket but its only available in mothercare UK - am trying to find a way to get it over here as its soooo lovely!!! I am heading back to the UK at Christmas so might have to bring it back with me....??
morph scan in 6 days and still undecided about finding out sex..... eeek!!
Posted 10 November 2012 - 12:46 PM
hehehe....those cat biscuits were pretty tempting this afternoon when I gave my kitties their lunch...
Oh satay and emso, how frightening to have a bleed. So glad that you're both ok now - rest up.
Satay - don't over-research those sub-chronic thing-a-majigs. It will only do your head in. Just listen to your OB and follow their advice.
emso - it's tough sitting on the sidelines when you're used to being hands on? Totally get how boring daytime tv is. I had a few days off work to recover from gastro and I think I surfed the net most of the time. What wonderful parents and grandparents you have to pay for the cots and pram. Good luck for your morph scan!
nande - welcome back! Glad to see you had a wonderful time up at the Gold Coast
hillplain - congratulations and welcome! Yay for the great test results - you're doing really well.
fingerscrossed - best of luck for your morph scan. Hope it all goes well. As for the sex, DH wants to find out, whereas I don't!
AFM - just plodding along, funny thing was that as soon as I had my 12 week NT scan and got back the good results, my mind has totally relaxed - I was anxious in the first trimester, basically taking it one week at a time, and now, hardly a care in the world - dunno if this is good or bad. I don't feel pregnant anymore. MS has more or less gone, I've gone back to the gym (yay!) and coffee no longer tastes like rubbish! I've lost interest in my actual pregnancy, but all I'm thinking about is life with the 3 of us.
I spent the whole of Wednesday in hospital with gastro - I'm one of those people who just can't stop vomiting when they get it. Woke up 3.30am Wednesday feeling very ill, started vomiting and kept vomiting every 10 minutes. DH rang the nurse-on-call service who said go to ED if I can't handle the vomiting, otherwise see a GP within 4 hours. Ended up going to the ED and was very lucky that they took me in straight away. Hooked up on IV fluids and anti-nausea meds. I only went to ED because I was worried about the baby and getting dehydrated, otherwise, I would have just stayed at home and rode it out which I have done previously. It wasn't until I was in hospital that I realised that in the previous gastro episodes I've had, I've virtually driven myself into the ground - I didn't think that severe vomiting and having the runs is worthy of a trip to the ED
Hi to the rest of the AC grads
Have a great weekend
Posted 10 November 2012 - 04:03 PM
Hi Girls,
Emso and Fingerscrossed - so excited you have your scans so soon, looking forward to hearing how they go, I have about 2 weeks till mine can't wait.
It's my wedding anniversary today and dh took me shopping for some maternity gear as I've had nothing to wear since I am much slimmer then when I was pregnant with dd. I also lay-byed my new pram today (phil&teds navigator) which is exciting.
I've had a couple of friend requests on FB let me know if its you??
Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.
Posted 10 November 2012 - 06:03 PM
Yep, one was me - I'm wearing a white v-neck Jeep tshirt.

HI Ladies,
Nande- one wasme black and white photo wearing a dark shirt I also sent you a message too. Congrats on the wedding aniversary.
Satay & Emso - Good to hear that things are on the improve for you. Hope that it is all gone and the rest of your pg goes well!
Scruff - how lucky you are to be all relaxed and going well! I hope that the gastro has all gone now and you are well rested after the episode.
Fingerscrossed - how exciting for you to belooking at buying. We did some research last time and were going to go shopping when we went to Melb for our scan but things ended the week before. I think that we will wait abit longer before we go down that track again!
Emso - I know how you feel. We too have been renoing for the last 5 years. After last MC I told DH that I was going to betaking it easy next time. However with a farm that is never the case. I feelso useless asking people to do things that I have always done. Watching my mum lift 20kg bagsof cement to do our verandah floor has been oneof the hardest. We are getting to the end of things here having had a huge workingbee for the last week and a half. Only some cornice to go, finish painting that and the roof, do the floors and paint and finish the skirting boards and we are there. I am etermined to have this all done by christmas as DH starts playing polocrosse all over Victoria and we are away most weekends from Jan through to August although I suspect next year may be a bit different!
Hi to everyone else and good luck with your scans tomorrow for those having them. I am nervous as hell about mine but will update after!
Posted 12 November 2012 - 12:17 PM
Hi ladies
Hope we are all well
Emso - is it today that you have your morph scan? how exciting! Cant wait to hear all about it xx
Satay - I saw a thread from you in the general section - hope everything is ok, look forward to hearing a positive update when you come in here next xx in the meantime am thinking of you
Hillplain - think you have a scan too coming up? Let us know how you go, can imagine how nervous you are but keep thinking positive thoughts x
nande - happy anniversary! what a nice idea for your DH to get you some new maternity clothes! even though we are only pregnant and large enough to wear them for a short period I think its sooo important to make yourself feel nice while pregnant so spend spend spend!!! well thats my motto anyway!!
Scruff - glas to hear you are relaxing more although that bout of gastro sounds horrible!!
AFM have been doing some more research on cots, prams, moses baskets etc etc and am starting to get some final choices being made! same with names and also birth plans - eeek cant believe I will be halfway next week! Next big thing to report back in on is the morph scan later this week - cannot wait but the good old nerves are still there!! Helps that bubs continues to kick away which is a lovely reassuring feeling!
Posted 12 November 2012 - 02:18 PM
Thanks Fingers Crossed! I am looking fowards to being able to shop etc.
Hi to everyone else. I have been stalking to see how things were going for you with your scans.
AFM - well I have to say that I feel a whole lot better now. Had my 7 week scan today and all is well with 'us'. Heartbeat good and strong, a day behind and all looks great. Can't tell you how relieved that I am. Only problem is that last night I got up in the middle of the night (as we all seem to do an eternal amount of times) and somehow ended up crashing into a wall and am now black and blue all down my left side. I don't bruise easily and these ones are absolute rippers. Hopefully the soreness from that disappears soon and I can get my boots back on too!
Hope to see some updates soon!
Posted 12 November 2012 - 03:10 PM
Hi ladies.
Hillplain: Congrats on your scan! Its such a relief to see that everything is progressing as normal. Ouch, hope the bruising goes away quickly for you.
Emso: Good luck on your scan!
Scruff: Hope your feeling better from the gastro... poor thing. Thats not fun at all
Satay: Glad to hear things have improved for you, its scary seeing blood isnt it. Do you think The clexane has a lot to do with it as well?
nande: I sent you a personal message on FB, Im belinda.
Sorry I have been MIA for a week. We have had a bit of a scary week. DH and I BD, and strait after I began to bleed. I was worried but because it was dark, i was not to freaked yet. Then after we had our 7 week scan, OB did mention that I would probably have spotting... and so I did for the next 2 days then it stopped. On Friday night however, I had a gush It was awful. I was adamant this was the end of our pregnancy. On saturday I popped into work and did a quick scan with OB and bub is fine thank goodness! But its weird, each night I wake up with brown spotting and it then clears through the day. My Ob is trying to reassure me that the clexane is causing y cervix to have little bleeds... but im over seeing blood. I just want to enjoy this time after finally getting here after so long.

Good evening ladies!
Just a quick update. Had our morph scan today. Both babies doing amazingly well, both good sizes and weights. Both were very active throughout the scan, it was amazing I couldn't feel all of that movement, but I think it wont be long till I can feel it all. The scan took forever because once we had one bub done the next had to be done and twin b is very stubborn, after two walks around the block, emptying my bladder multiple times, coughing, rolling on different sides we were finally able to get all the measurements we needed.
We also are very excited to announce we are expecting two little boys! Very pleased.
In other news, we bought our pram and lay-by'd our cots today. Bought some cute baby clothes for the boys. Its begining to feel really real now!
Posted 13 November 2012 - 08:22 AM
Yay Emso!!!!! So exciting and thrilled that everything is going so well!!!!!! xxx
Hillplain - Oh dear! You ok? Those groggy wake ups in the middle of the night when pregnant are terrible - feel so different to normal. Hope you are ok.
Fingers - Congrats on being half way! Can now definitely start doing some serious shopping..
Scruff - How are you feeling after being so unwell? Hope you are ok. Also, so pleased your scan went so well - I am really nervous about mine and cannot wait to get it over with, only 6 days to go.
Nande - Hope your walk went really well!! You have heaps to talk about so I am sure it will go really well!
Glitterz - Hang in there matey! I actually have been reading that Clexane can cause some bleeding and possibly the hematomas (what I have) - just take it easy and if you are worried about anything get a scan to put your mind at rest. I'm still spotting off and on too - its only when I rest for two or three days that it completely stops, then its back when I am up and about again.
Has your Dr said anything about continuing with the Clexane? I stopped last week and *think* it might have settle down my bleeding (well, I have not had red for 10 days now).
PS - your PM did not come through, if you want to PM me maybe pop through EB...
Also, how are you going with the Prednisolone?
Hope everyone else is well and so nice to see some faces on FB
AFM - Back at work but might go home at lunch today for a rest, slept 10 hours last night and still feel rat sht today. I'm also piling on the weight too after being so inactive the last couple of weeks which is a worry but just feel the need to eat... gahhhhh!!! I am going to be so round by the end of all this...
NT Scan at 1.00pm next Thursday - cannot wait to have it over with.

Hi ladies,
Sorry I have been absent. I don't come on eb much anymore. I hope you are all well. Congrats to the newbies on your pregnancies. It is a very exciting time isn't it.
Afm I am doing ok at the moment. I was really sick with morning sickness and the flu at the beginning of the pregnancy. The morning sickness hung around for ages but finally settling. I have had cramps on and off but scans confirm all is ok. I have my morph scan this Friday. Can't wait. We haven't bought anything for the bubs yet as we want to make sure all is ok first.
Take care xx
Posted 14 November 2012 - 07:57 AM
Glitterz - I hope that all is going well for you now. I was reading a book last night that said that BD can do that and it is not uncommon. Hope that all is improving.
emso - how wonderful for you. Your pics on FB are awesome. You must feel so much better now!
Satay - nearly there for you and your scan. Bet you can't wait for that one. I know how you feel. I am not a fittness person but I do a lot of physical work both at work and home and am really struggling with taking it easy. I too am putting on weight which sucks!
Think-positive - Good luck this Friday and I hope that the MS calms for you a little. It must be aweful. Bet you can't wait to start shopping!
AFM - things are all OK (I think) seem to be floating along now that I am not so stressed. You will all be pleased to know that I know have a hall light that automatically comes on at night so that I don't fall over again. The bruises are getting prettier by the day as that are a multitude of colours. I reckon that by tomorrow I might even be able to get my boots back on too!
Posted 14 November 2012 - 08:44 AM
Morning ladies
Hillplain - ouch that fall sounds nasty - glad you have the hall light now to avoid that happening again!!
Satay - hows things with you? has the bleeding calmed down yet? When is your next scan - is it the 12 week NT scan? Bet you cant wait to be out of the first trimester!!
Think positive - good luck with your scan on Friday - I am the same and havent brought anything yet - I think its the superstituous nature in me!! I have my morph scan tomorrow so am excited/nervous all at the same time!!
emso - wow two boys!! how exciting! I bet your DH is over the moon!
Glitterz - god its scary isnt how many of us has experienced bleedings and despite knowing its very common (especially after BDing) it doesnt help how scary it feels xx keep your chin up and trust your FS - it sounds like you are in safe hands and your bubs is merrily unaware of the anguish he is causing you!!
AFM just plodding on here - bubs is def a wriggler as been feeling his/her kicks pretty much all day now since last week which is such a nice feeling and not one I will get bored of!! Felt a big kick on the bus this morning on my way to work and it just made me smile!
Can I ask a personal question and it is very silly I know but is anyone else worried about BDing during pregnancy?? My DH is vry busy with work and study at the moment so we dont have much time (and also I am normally asleep by 9pm most night!!) but its been a while (nearly a month!! which is soooo not like us) since we BDed and I dont want to turn into one of those couples already!! We've been together 10+ years and never been like this and Im not sure if its down to study/no time or the pregnancy - I know in the first trimester I was too sore after IVF and with the bleeding I had too scared but now.... I dont know!!
Anyway morph scan tomorrow which I cannot wait for although the nerves are starting to creep in....!
Take care ladies x
Posted 15 November 2012 - 07:33 AM
Morning!!!! Hope everyone is really well today...
12 weeks tomorrow and time is going really slow! Been a tough couple of weeks but looking forward to the next tri so I can get back to some exercise and feeling somewhat normal - hopefully.
Been away from work alot and unfortunately I had to give my colleague my login details, sure enough she must have looked through my emails and seen stuff to confirm that I am pregnant - she's one of those people who loves to know private information about other people so she will be loving this. And now, I find she is meeting with people for coffees that I kind of know, I know she is going it to tell them.
It sucks because only my parents know and we haven't even told Mr G's family, or most of my friends - also, I haven't even had the NT scan yet and I so worry that if there is a problem, everyone will know at work.
Anyway, I just have to live with it. Whats weirder is that she has mentioned pregnancy to me three times in two days, not about me but in other terms - she's gagging to get it out.
Fingers - All the very best with your scan today, please let us know how you go??
Also, BD - DH and I haven't since August , I am just too worried too especially now with the bleeding I have had. Also being on progesterone pesseries doesn't reall appeal. That said, I know DH is not overly happy about it but he is being ok... its hard I know.
Hillplain - Good for you getting the light, hope you are feeling better today.
Think-Positive - So good to see you popping in! I know its hard to get on EB, I am not typing as much these days either..
Everyone else - have a great day... nearly the weekend.

Hi ladies
I apologize for the me post in advanced.
I had NT scan on Monday we thought it went brilliantly the baby had my nose and looked to be perfect.
The following day a meeting with out fertility specialist showed poor results we had a 1:154 chance of trisomy 21, 1:27 chance of trisomy 18, 1:43 chance of trisomy 13. Also was noted that babies bladder was dilated.
Offered amino highly recommended I asked for cvs as I didn't want to wait til 15 weeks. Cairns can't do cvs only Brisbane or Townsville. Luckily the professor at Townsville was able to schedule me the next day ( yesterday) he advised my FS that we should have is immediately and with the known bladder issue my risk was now 1:10 for trisomy 18 not compatible with life kept being said to us prepare to terminate. Baby will miscarry if you don't.
we drove the 4 hours south frightened beyond belief the cvs was so traumatic painful and just horrendous my husband was sobbing at the end both of us shaking through the procedure like I have never known.
Again it was reiterated to prepare for bad news. Odds revised now 1:2 for tri 18 even if clear chromosomally baby may not survive the bladder issues as it looks not to be draining and without knowing the sex they cant know if surgery will assist and may die in utero I feel so sick scared and tired. I will have prelim results on Monday possibly Friday.
Sorry for the post. Stay well ladies love your bumps embrace it all xxx
Posted 15 November 2012 - 09:30 AM
OMG Dolce - I am so so so sorry you are both going through this..
Please know that we are here for you if you need to talk, and please do.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both, please take care and stay strong together..
Posted 15 November 2012 - 10:36 AM
I am so sorry Dolce. That is such terrifying news. I hope the CVS results come back clear. You are in my thoughts. hugs and love to you and your baby xxx
Posted 15 November 2012 - 11:05 AM
oh Dolce - what a terrible time you and your DH are experiencing - there is nothing we can say but please know we are all thinking of you x there is also a support thread for those with issues arising out of their NT scan so the ladies in there might be of help? keep us posted hon and huge love to your bubs xx
Satay - thanks for your reply below - makes me feel better its not just me!! and how annoying is your colleague for snooping!! not long now though you can tell everyone xx
AFM - I came on here to update you all after my morph scan this morning but after Dolce's news it doesnt feel quite right.. so ill keep it very brief. We are extremely relieved and lucky that everything is looking perfect and we are having a baby........ BOY!! DH is over the moon as am I and it now feels very real! xx
Posted 15 November 2012 - 02:25 PM
Dolce - Please know that my thoughts and love are with you. I know that words on a screen can't convey how much I hope that this turns out will for you and DH. Please be kind to yourself. It is times like this that remoteness makes things all that much harder for you. Please keep us all updated with how things are going and feel free to vent on here. I am more than happy to read it and if it helps you manage I say got for it.
Fingers Crossed - What a wonderful milestone for you.
Satay - I have replied to your thread this morning 3 times and lost the lot everytime. No doubt something I am doing! How terrible for you to have your privacy invaded like that. I would be one cranky person over that! On the bright side at least you are close to the end of first tri. When are you going to tell everyone? With regard to the other question about BDing *loss mentioned* In my last 'cycle' we BD'd and then I had spotting after. After trips to emergency on weekend and an aweful wait we found that we had a missed MC and I then MC. Whilst we had lost quite a bit earlier we have never really got over it. We are a bit the same as you and have only BD once since the start of the cycle due to being sore and tired etc and very nervous... I have heard however (not sure where) that sperm can help with implanting and I think progresterone too. I have put that much stuff into me that I am not sure that DH would want to be near me and my bits atm anyway.
Hi to everyone else.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 02:31 PM
Oh Dolce I am so very sorry your tests have come back with this news. It must be so stressful. Thinking of you & your family & hope things work out ok for you.
Take care,
Magenta xx

12 hour shift allows for 3 4 days off a week. Supportive management. Promote from within attitude. Quarterly profit sharing when the company is making money.
12 Hour shift can be long for some people. Profit sharing based on salary would like to see it more equal as everyone contributes to the success of the company.
Overall I think they do a good job. Can only speak for the departments I worked in. Heard some negative stories from other departments.

I worked at Micron Technology full-time (more than a year)Pros
Truly can't think of many. Products aren't that innovative - DRAM is all standardized.
Micron knows their Boise HQ based employees have nowhere else to work in high-tech and tamp down salaries and raises as a result.
Layoffs frequent. Bonuses not frequent.Cons
Company favors Mormons and lifers at Micron for upper management.
Company is not a fan of Californians relocating to Boise to work for MU.
Company secretly tracks every employees' website visits on company computers. Visit 1 personal website at work? It's tracked and grounds for termination under Micron policy resulting in ZERO unemployment bennies and separation pay.
Company uses employees 'badging in' daily not for security but instead to actually compile # hours worked each and every workday. IF you fall below 40 hours worked in any week expect your manager to talk to you personally and issue a warning. Workout at work? Micron does not consider this in the 40 hours/week. Take conference calls off Micron grounds - ditto, not counted towards the 40 hour per week minimum.
Company WILL terminate you and use weak reasons like "violated company policy by visiting 1+ personal website while on company time."
Middle managers work their way up at MU often by screwing others.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Stop the Micromanaging.
Stop the wrongful terminations for weak weak illegal reasons.
You make a commodity product, save $$ in good times so you don't layoff tons of employees in bad times.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEO

I know the HDPE buckets will hold up to the heat; however, will the plastic valves (on bottling buckets) hold up to the heat? I am more concerned about the rubber washer than the valve itself. What I am wanting to do is pour the wort from the brewpot into the bucket (with water in it), and then run it through the CFC. I smoked my autosiphon last time (I'm a real genius) and I don't want to let the wort sit and defeat the purpose of the CFC. I'll probably do a test run with some boiled water in the next day or two, just to be sure.

Model of an Atmospheric Pressure Corona Discharge
This model simulates a negative corona discharge occurring in between two co-axially fashioned conductors. The negative electric potential is applied to the inner conductor and the exterior conductor is grounded. The modeled discharge is simulated in argon at atmospheric pressure.
Thermal Plasma
This model simulates a plasma at medium pressure (2 torr) where the plasma is still not in local thermodynamic equilibrium. At low pressures the two temperatures are decoupled but as the pressure increases the temperatures tend towards the same limit.
Electrodeless Lamp
This model simulates an electrodeless lamp with argon/mercury chemistry. The low excitation threshold for mercury atoms means that even though the mercury is present in small concentrations, its behavior dominates. There is strong UV emission from the plasma at 185 nm and 253 nm. The UV emission can stimulate phosphors coated on the surface of the bulb. From an electrical point of view, the lamp ...
Benchmark Model of a Capacitively Coupled Plasma
The underlying physics of a capacitively coupled plasma is rather complicated, even for rather simple geometric configurations and plasma chemistries. This model benchmarks the Capacitively Coupled Plasma physics interface against many different codes.
Oxygen Boltzmann Analysis
The Boltzmann equation can be solved to validate sets of electron impact collision cross sections. In fact, sets of collision cross sections are traditionally inferred by solving a two-term approximation to the Boltzmann equation and comparing the results to swarm experiments. This model solves a two-term approximation to the Boltzmann equation and compares the computed drift velocity and ...
Harmonic Content of the Power Deposition into a Dual Frequency Capacitively Coupled Plasma
Energy transfer from the time varying electrostatic field to electrons in a capacitively coupled plasmas (CCP) does not exclusively occur at twice the RF frequency. Due to the highly nonlinear mechanism of power transfer from the fields to the electrons, power deposition occurs at frequencies higher than twice the driving frequency. For dual frequency CCP reactors the harmonic content of the ...
GEC CCP Reactor, Argon Chemistry, 1D
The NIST GEC CCP reactor provides a platform for studying capacitively coupled plasmas. Even the simplest plasma models are quite involved so a 1D example helps in understanding the physics without excessive CPU time. The problem has no steady-state solution, although a periodic steady-state solution is reached after a suitable number of RF cycles (usually >1000).
Argon Boltzmann Analysis
The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) plays an important role in the overall behavior of discharges. Analytic forms of the EEDF exist such as Maxwellian or Druyvesteyn, but in some cases they fail to fit the discharge physics. This tutorial model investigates the effects of various parameters on the electron energy distribution function and rate coefficients for an argon discharge. ...

"It's a very confusing time. … This legislation has happened before we have a medical consensus about what to tell women."
— Emily Conant, a professor of radiology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, on laws in 21 states that require doctors to tell women they have dense breast tissue, which can raise their risk for cancer and hide abnormalities. New breast-imaging technologies promise to detect more cancers in women, but can bring more false alarms as well. (The Wall Street Journal, Feb. 23, 2015)

Michigan running back Vincent Smith is tackled by Michigan State's Kevin Pickelman during MSU's win Saturday.
- Filed Under
EAST LANSING -- Michigan State can't expect to keep winning games if it commits as many penalties as it did in Saturday's 28-14 win over Michigan. MSU finished with 13 penalties for 124 yards.
"Penalties are going to hurt you," coach Mark Dantonio said Tuesday. "But we're the ones getting penalized, so we have to play with the results there. We somehow found our way out of those, but they're going to hurt us and ultimately cost us a football game if we don't clean those up."
Among the penalties were four personal fouls and two for roughing the passer. Five of the six 15-yard penalties were by the ...

Mars Needs Women (1967) Sci-Fi Movie Review
Sci-Fi movies Review
Mars Needs Women is as bad or as good as its title suggests—either way, you're going to marvel at this mess-terpiece. The red planet has a female shortage due to "a critical recession of the Y chromosome," so Tommy Kirk (stalwart of '60s Disney flicks) leads a trio of fellow Martians to recruit fertile Earth chicks, including a stripper (of course), a stewardess (er, flight attendant), and a brainy reporter (the latter played by Yvonne Craig of "Batgirl" fame). Filmed in Texas on a budget of (apparently) a few hundred bucks, this bad-movie milestone incorporates Air Force archival footage, a time-capsule glimpse of Dallas nightlife (you'll spot The Fortune Cookie on a marquee), and plenty of Martian snobbery about "the environmental naiveté of the Earthmen." To say it's all a hoot is an understatement; Mars Needs Women is an enduring artifact of the pre-Easy Rider era—a drive-in disaster that won't (and shouldn't) go away. —Jeff Shannon
Synopsis:Dop leads his fellow Martians to Earth on an interplanetary quest for females. Dop proves that Martians have impeccable taste when one of his first conquests turns out to be sexy scientist Dr. Marjorie Bolen.

South Sudan, the world's youngest nation, descended into civil war in December 2013 forcing millions of children from their homes. Our teams have been on the ground doing whatever it takes to get life-saving aid to these desperately vulnerable children. We've delivered essential health supplies, helped to get children back into the classroom, reunited families, and provided psychosocial support to children affected by the violence. None of this would have been possible without the incredible generosity of our supporters, who donated £347,000 to our crisis appeal, helping us to reach over 180,000 vulnerable children and their families.
How have we helped?
- Overall, we have reached over 180,000 people, including almost 110,000 children, with life-saving care.
- We have screened over 51,000 children across South Sudan and found that nearly a quarter of them are suffering from malnutrition. In response we have set up stabilisation centres to treat malnourished children with special therapeutic foods.
- We've been distributing seeds, tools and equipment to those who have lost their livelihoods as a result of the conflict, helping families to get back on their feet.
- We've been providing life-saving medicines and helping make sure communities are educated on how to reduce the spread of cholera.
- In Nimule hospital alone, Save the Children vaccinated more than 15,000 children against life threatening diseases such as measles and polio.

The Smart Search Services include executive search, head hunting, staff outsourcing, payroll management and more!
Recruitment solutions to fit your needs
At Smart Search we offer the full suite of Human Resources services, ranging from Executive Search to full business process outsourcing. Our services are geared toward multinational and regional companies operating in South East Asia, specifically designed to allow our clients to focus on core business growth whilst having the right team in place
Executive Search
Smart Search conducts executive search assignments at the Board Director; executive and functional Vice President levels. Our Recruitment Consultants are experienced Thailand Recruitment Consultants who are retained by well known multinationals as well as prominent venture firms and early stage companies. Smart Search executive recruitment is recognized as a quality executive headhunter recruitment firm in Bangkok that exceeds expectations by actively listening to its clients and consistently delivering results. We are committed to recruiting the best talent in the South East Asia. We have attracted the most successful search consultants with cutting edge industry and functional expertise. This high caliber of our search consultants will improve your recruiting process and allow your company to better understand the marketplace and the competitive landscape.
An employer will be interested to find the 'best' candidates in Bangkok for a top management position. Usually, the best candidates are gainfully employed and, as a rule, do not consider changing career. As headhunter's, our role is to find the right candidates, select the 'best' applicant among them and create the right conditions for the 'leaving' applicant, helping him or her to adapt to the new organization. Our process of headhunting starts with a detailed study of a client's needs. Our head-hunters are always willing to render consultations on detailed description of the required application's characteristics, help in establishing the salary level and optimizing working conditions. We then make up a vacancy description and develop the search strategy, allocating terms and resources for conducting a qualified search. The gathering of information about the candidates starts, accompanied by collecting the reference data and simultaneous market analysis – study of the companies that may currently employ the potential candidates.
Payroll Outsourcing
Payroll Outsourcing is designed for clients who want to concentrate on their business goals and move their focus away from internal process management. Smart Search's Payroll Outsourcing service will ensure that client's staff receive the right amount of salary at the right time, pay slips are provided to the staff (with the client's logos if required) before the salary transfer date and any staff payroll questions and concerns are given the highest priority. In addition, Smart Search will ensure that all legal and government tax requirements are fulfilled in line with the requirements of the government of Thailand.. We offer an efficient, well organized and proven payroll service and take full responsibility for the establishment of process and the execution of service.
Staff Outsourcing
Contract and Temporary Staff Outsourcing Services is designed for clients who typically, and on short notice, want to employ staff for a fixed length of time. Smart Search combines our recruitment teams with our payroll and HR Outsourcing Services to achieve a complete Contract and Temporary Outsourcing Staff solution.

Ronen Zvulun, Pool, Associated Press
JERUSALEM — Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shimon Peres ended his term as president of Israel on Thursday — a man who symbolizes hopes for peace capping a seven-decade public career amid the brutal reality of war. Peres handed the ceremonial but high-profile presidency over to Reuven Rivlin, a legislator from the hawkish Likud Party.
Although the globe-trotting elder statesman has made clear he has no intention to retire, few expect him to hold public office again, after a career that dates back to the 1940s and has seen him occupy almost every major government position in the land.
"I did not imagine that in the last days of my presidency I would be called upon, once more, to comfort bereaved families," Peres, 90, said in his speech at the handover ceremony. He blamed the Islamic militant group Hamas for starting the current war by firing barrages of rockets at Israel, but also emphasized that "Israel is not the enemy of the people of Gaza."
Rivlin's theme was similar: "We are not fighting against the Palestinian people, and we are not at war with Islam," he said. "We are fighting against terrorism." In sharp contrast to Peres, however, Rivlin has long been an opponent of efforts to establish a Palestinian state.
Peres spent the last days of his seven-year term consoling families of soldiers killed in two weeks of fighting. More than 30 have died, along with three civilians on the Israeli side and more than 700 Palestinians, most of them civilians. During his visits, Peres is seen clutching the hands of grieving mothers, wives and siblings, pressing them to remain strong
"On the one hand he feels great satisfaction from having served Israel," said his spokeswoman, Ayelet Frisch. "On the other hand he feels sadness for these days when Israel does not know peace."
Peres once struggled for popularity, widely seen as an opportunistic political operator. Having never served in the army, he lacked the halo that propelled ex-generals like Moshe Dayan, Yitzhak Rabin and Ariel Sharon to political heights. Since the 1980s he came to be associated with a single-minded drive to achieve peace with the Arabs that many in Israel considered naive and out of touch with the hostility toward Israel in the region. Undeterred, Peres published books like 1993's "The New Middle East," predicting a near future in which economic mutual interest trump ethnic and religious hatreds.
A longtime leader of the center-left Labor Party, Peres lost elections in 1977, 1981, 1988 and 1996, managing a sort-of tie in 1984, even though under his rival, the incumbent Yitzhak Shamir, Israel's inflation was running around 400 percent and the country was mired in an unpopular war in Lebanon. Considering such electoral futility, it is remarkable that he did serve for three brief terms as prime minister and has also been foreign minister, defense minister and finance minister among many other posts.
Israel's president is meant to serve as a unifying figure and moral compass — while executive power rests with the prime minister, currently the conservative Benjamin Netanyahu.
From this pulpit position Peres achieved true popularity for the first time, refashioning himself as a grandfatherly figure whose longevity and energy genuinely amazed, and inspiring a certain nostalgia for a simpler time. At international events like the World Economic Forum at Davos, Peres was treated with a near-adulation that no Israeli politician — and only a handful around the world — could possibly attain. He even established his own mini-Davos in Jerusalem, an event which managed to attract major business and academic figures each year anew.

31 year old man | Belmont Shore, CA, USA | Seeking women 22-38 within 20 miles of Long Beach, CA
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
About to finish my BFA in Sculpture degree at Cal State Long Beach. I spent my early years in the Army, so now I'm trying to catch up with my education. Art is an extremely important part my life. I love building things or going to museums/galleries or just looking at art online. I also love to work out, fitness and nutrition are very important to me. I'm very good at building and fixing things! I'm usually always doing something with my hands, building, designing, or drawing. I'm also an amazing cook, food is a huge passion of mine. I went to culinary school at one time to be a chef, but decided it was more of a hobby than a career. But I still retained my love for cooking, although I haven't had anyone to cook for lately! I have a motorcycle that I drive daily, I love going on rides down PCH. I have a car as well, but its mostly for transporting things, because cars are boring! Ha ha! I enjoy more adrenaline filled activities and risky things, when I have the chance. If it can't kill you, it ain't worth doing. Ha ha I'm joking, but I do enjoy intense things. Like skydiving, motorcycles, rock climbing, anything that gets the blood pumping! Which brings me to my next part ha ha! I love an intense woman who can come back at me when teased. I'm pretty sarcastic and playful, so having a good sense of humor is really important. I'm a big fan of debating (friendly, of course ha ha) and having interesting conversations. As intense as this all sounds, I do love to just sit on the couch at night and watch movies or make dessert with someone. Even though I like intense things, I'm extremely laid back and never really get upset over things. I'm really upbeat and happy all the time. So basically, I'm a lot of fun to be around! Ha ha So I'm looking for a girl who can handle it, likes to be active, and can tolerate some playful teasing and sarcasm. Finally, I'm kind of old fashioned in the sense that I was raised to be a gentleman. I open doors, bring flowers, and pull out your seat. I'll surprise you with something I've made, drawn, or cooked. But I also expect a woman to reciprocate the same kindness and respect! BTW, I'm not a party-er or drinker. I do enjoy a couple beers or drinks, but I don't get crazy drunk anymore.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Wine tasting
Auto racing / Motorcross, Baseball, Bowling, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
Don't display my sign
I have Cats
Taco surf on 2nd street! Happy hour tacos haha LACMA, The Getty, LA Science Center, Museam of Natural History, Disneyland
California State University, Long Beach, Long Beach, CA
I love pretty much any music, except for maybe polka ha ha. There are very few movies I don't enjoy. I love classic movies from the 1930-70's. I especially love thrillers with twist endings like Memento, The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, Se7en, etc..
I love beach days, BBQ's, any kind of museum, road trips, day trips on my motorcycle, pet stores, Dodger games, relaxing with a movie, Disneyland, shooting at the gun range, snowboarding, video games, hiking, anything outdoors really!
I don't read novels as much as I love art books, I love studying about different art materials and styles.

Tips For Choosing An Online High School Program
Sometimes attending a normal high school isn't an option. Kitty and I experienced this recently when our grandson decided to enroll in an online high school after experiencing trouble at our local public school. Going to an online high school has been tremendously helpful for Joseph and it's made me think that more parents should consider sending their children to one. The fact is, there are some really good reasons to attend an online high school.
Issues such as disability and bullying can make looking for an online high school the better option. It is also handy for adults who never completed high school who would like to go back and get their diploma. The complicated matter is ensuring that you choose the online high school that is right for you or your child. Here are a few tips that will help you to make a wise choice in choosing the right online high school.
Special Programs
In cases in which you or your child suffers from a learning disability you will want to make sure you check out potential online high schools for special programs that are made to help individuals in your situation. This is pretty straight forward in many cases as many online high schools cater to such needs. If you are in doubt about whether or not a particular school can meet your needs, don't be afraid to give them a call or send an email inquiring about certain features and programs that you need to get information about.
What Classes are Offered
While many classes will be mandatory and aren't really negotiable in your quest for a high school diploma, other classes will be optional. Classes such as home economics, language courses, and others offer you or your child a chance to pick which ones would be the best fit for your needs. If you or your child has a particular interest in one of these subjects, for example if you wanted to take a German language course, make sure you find out whether or not such a class is offered at the online school. Also keep in mind that your choices for these classes can have an impact later when it comes to applying for college if you intend to go that rout.
Teachers vs Automation
In most cases online high schools will provide a mix of actual teachers and standardized lesson plans/tests/etc. You should take the time to consider how much teacher involvement you need for you or your child and how much you can get by with on your own. If you are an adult seeking to get your high school diploma online you may not need quite as much teacher supervision and assistance. On the other hand, a child may require a bit more oversight from a teacher for various assignments.

n00bula healBoat
Got bored running around in a Cruiser, so I decided to try my hand at a n00bula.
Power: 100 Weapons, 25 Shields, 25 Engines, 50 Aux (comes out to about 114/53/52/95 iirc)
I know it's a weird power set up for a healer, but I can actually do some decent support DPS while maintaining a high level of heals.
Lt Tac: TacTeam 1, Beta 1 (Delta 1?)
Lt Eng: EPtS 1, EngTeam 2
LtC Eng: EPtS 1, Aux to SIF 1, Extend 2
Ens Sci: SciTeam 1
Cmdr Sci: Hazard 1, TSS 2, TSS 3, FBP 3
Does anyone see any glaring issues with it?
Ideally, I'd like to go with this... but I know I'll catch a lot of flak for not having a SciTeam on a Sci ship.
Lt Eng: EPtS 1, EngTeam 2
LtC Eng: EPtS 1, EngTeam 2, Aux to SIF 2
Ens Sci: Hazard 1
Cmdr Sci: Hazard 1, TSS 2, TSS 3, FBP 3.
Heals never more than 15 seconds away with high powered Hazards every 30.
Are you an engineer? I would drop the ET tbh because it shares cooldown with TT and ST.
I know that that ET will put the other two teams on CD, but I only really use ST for debuff clears. TSS 3 + TT is awesome, and ET is a pretty decent heal to pop off when it's up.
Im an Engi in N00bula.. well I have it now, i dont play it alot though :p
Its possibly one of the best combinations out there.
I mean, you have best of both worlds healing for both science and engineering, and some juice to keep yourself alive.
TSS3, Science team 1 and Science team 2, Hazard emitters 1. (Can eventually reverse a SS with HE2)
I use Engi team 1 more for someone being proced rather then a Hull heal, but they usually require a bit of hull repair because that Target shield can break a facing. I do not have TT atm unfortunately, that would be too much team abilities, but hey, its no dedicated zombie tank :)
And then the universal Lieutenant and Lieutenant Commander slots...
You can make very high stats with it (just for fun) but we all know stats are not really 'the real thing'.
On top of all this, you get decent hull hitpoints and bonus to your own shield capacity/regeneration. What more would you want?
Because its a dedicated healer I run my powers as follow: 25/50/25/100, Effectively: 50/95/61/124 and with 2x EptS's my shield is also 110+ all the time. (approximate numbers) (Bonus defense on 70% ^^)
All in all I think its best for support with a good team.
I got my noobula healboat set up like this. Works pretty well with125 aux.
tac team, torp spread chroniton
epts 1, extend shields,
epts 1, auxtd 1, auxtsif 2
You could try this as well but I'm not sure. Never had that build but this is what I would do:
Lt. Tac: TT1 , AP Delta
Lt. Com Eng: Epts1, Epts2, Es3
Lt Sci: ST1, HE2
Ens. Sci: ST1
Com. Sci: TB1, TSS2, TSS3, CpB3
Lt. Tac: TT1, AP Delta
Lt.com Eng: Epts1, Es1, Auxif1
Lt. Eng: Epts1, RSP1
Ens. Sci: ST1
Com. Sci: TSS1, HE2, TSS3, CpB3
(The second build I would add some Induction Stabilizers to increase your TSS).
That build doesn't cover all debuffs to clear them, but your prolly be in a team who has one ET. Even if your an eng I would carry at least 1 debuff like cpb or something else.
