ITEM#: 13387165Featuring all 68 episodes of this groundbreaking television series, this release is testament to the fact that UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS has been seen by over one billion people worldwide.

One Golden Globe and nine Emmys later the critics were proved wrong, and the show continued to go from strength to strength, becoming the most popular show of all time on PBS Masterpiece Theatre. The story of the Bellamy family has captivated audiences for decades, and this is the definitive set of episodes for any fan of the show. Also included on this release is a retrospective featurette UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS REMEMBERED: THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL, and some shows not previously aired on television.

From upright vacuums and canister vacuums to the bagless vacuum and handheld vacuum, vacuums have invaded modern life. Here are a few bits of vacuum history you probably didn't know.

Inkjet printers produce images nearly as sharp as laser printers, but they are more economical for low-volume printing. From time to time, you'll need to refill the ink.

This ink cartridge buying guide will help you understand more about printer cartridges and how to get the best ink refills for your printer.

... treated to the hard sell, which was a bit annoying, but Dad did purchase a pair of goat skin babouche (Moroccan slippers) in beautiful rich mustard with black suede trim for Mum, and I chose a pair if pointy red camel skin slippers. It was very hot so we headed back to our hotel for some relaxation by the pool and a G&T, enjoyed after our alcohol free days in the desert.

For dinner, we were advised not to order chicken because there was only chicken on the menu tomorrow night. In the end we went for the kafta. There was a lone musician serenading us at dinner. I gave him a tip after. At least he didn't try to sell his music CD.
Seashells in the Sand Dunes
Although we awoke in darkness we could immediately tell our morning ride would be an easy one. There was no wind to be heard and the sand wasn't whipping around our ears so it was safe to say there was no sand storm. It was a beautiful experience watching the sun rise up over the dunes, but by the time we arrived back at the hotel our legs and butts were aching- a feeling our guide explained was known as a "berber" massage.

A rodeo museum in South Dakota is planning a sculpture garden to recognize the state's saddle bronc champions.
Officials at the Casey Tibbs South Dakota Rodeo Center in Fort Pierre say the garden and large sculpture of five-time world champion saddle bronc rider Billy Etbauer will be unveiled one June 1.
The garden will also serve as a gathering area for receptions and special events.
Museum board member and project leader Tom Brown says South Dakota has had more saddle bronc champions than any other state and the sculpture garden is a great way to preserve that heritage.
The statute of Etbauer will show the rider aboard Painted Valley when he scored an 89 to win the 2009 Cheyenne Frontier Days saddle bronc event.

FCC's New Broadband Plan Prioritizes Competition 71
from the plan-of-the-man dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
It's not socialism when giving money to a corporation. At least that's what I gather.
FCC Takes on Cable But Not Carriers With National Broadband Plan [gigaom.com]
The actual presentation from the meeting is included in the article.
I am anxiously awaiting for this to be approved: "Mandate a home gateway device. Require MVPDs to provide a small, low-cost device whose functionality is to bridge the proprietary MVPD network elements (conditional access, tuning & reception functions) to common, open standard, widely used in home communications interfaces; enables a retail navigation device to operate on all MVPD platforms."
I'm hoping that means unencrypted channel streams in-house over Ethernet.
Indeed. That's usually seen as a step towards corporatism, which is the economic wing of fascism, which is usually considered as far right, the opposite of socialism, which is on the left. Or in the middle, if the term "socialism" is being used in the context of American politics.
An inclined plane is a slope up. -- Willard Espy, "An Almanac of Words at Play"

I hate freedom of speech when ASSHOLES like YOU, MJ, act so damn condescending and think anyone who doesn't think exactly the way you do are morons!! Get off this fucking site if you're not a conservative!! Douchebag!!!!
The Amber Alert page is up it's the Dept of Justice Office of Justice Programs that is down.
The website is running as usual, just click the link. Mass hysteria much??
Chi sty
People don't you see what's coming FEMA camps soon the governments is gonna want us to reteluate we as people when this happens needs to stick together. There's more of us then them watch the movie thrive
STUPID first of learn english "this" second obama does not have that authority the DOJ shut it down not obama i hate freedom of speech when dumb people post stuff like this the president is a rubber stamp BLAME YOU CONGRESS PERSON
But isn't it a Republican-led Congress that voted to withhold funding and shutting down government. Also, the Andrews Air Force Base golf course is funded through user fees and that's why it remains open. Before anyone of any political persuasion starts throwing out accusations, it is imperative that all sources of information get their facts straight.
If you check your facts, the House has passed 3 separate bills that COMPLETELY funds ALL government with the EXCEPTION of Obamacare. The Democrats refuse to pass it. In fact, the Democrats have not passed a budget in 5 years! http://www.conservativenewscentral.com/2013/09/breaking-senate-democrats-push-towards-shutdown-kill-house-bill-to-fund-gov/
Robert Darmody
NO, a Republican led House charged Constitutionally with the power to check executive power has offered several bills to continue funding. It is a stubborn Chief Executive who refuses to 'sit down' and discuss how to keep government running; who is vindictively shutting down things intended to aggravate 'the little people'. His golf course remains open….
Bunch of idiots posting shit like this burn in hell racist basterds
Del B
There's a "special" place in HELL for Obama with his name on it. I hope he burns there for all eternity.
Robin Scott
So if the congress shut down the government in the first place just because the republicans didn't get their way why is this being blamed on the president? Wake up people our president isn't the only one behind our government shutting down !
Obama is a pig, Democrats are pigs.

Hi everyone newbie with a ?
I have a chance to get this cabinet , what would you do with it if you got your hands on this?
It has glass shelves that aren't in it at the moment. It used to be a ruffle cabinet. Would love to get some ideas..Thanks....
Here is a link that might be useful:
well not sure I "should" be answering because i,m a gun enthueist who needs a cabinet and i,m usally against painting nice wood but .
nice find if you get it actually the reason I responded was this might be a good time to use some glass etching cream
maybe some faux stained glass? there is a blank slate here and a lot of room .
if etched then it would lend itself to paint/antiquing.
there are a lot of good products out there for one step refinishing. Rick
Glass etching thats a thought I didn't have. Although I have never done that before. hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm......
I needed an etched pattern on my back door to break up the view of the lovely garage! I had painted a wheat motif in my kitchen, so I just made a stencil of the enlarged wheat bundle on cardstock, cut it with an exacto, and sprayed it with frosted glass paint. It is on the inside, so it doesn't get very dirty, but I don't think it would come of super easily, as I had to clean up overspray with a razor blade. My friend did sort of the same thing on her gun case with an all-over lacy stencil pattern, bottled frosted craft paint, and a stencil brush. She did it on the inside of the doors, and it has stood up very well for many years. If you ever decide you don't want the pattern, or want a new one, it is easier to change than real etching, but you get the same effect.
I did go get it, and it was much nicer then the picture showed, I also ended up giving it to my friend who came along with me to pick it up. she loved it so much, I just had to give it to her. She is going to paint it white, and use it in her huge bathroom to store her towels and such.
Someone here (DinaBear) redid a gun cabinet into a China Cabinet. It came out pretty cool. I did a search for gun and found it.
Old Gun Cabinet thread
New China Cabinet thread
I tried to post a link to just the picture ... but I guess because it's already posted here it wouldn't let me.
Anyway ... this T2T project stood out in my mind ... I know If I come across a gun cabinet for free I wouldn't hesitate to grab it up in a minute.
That's a great use for that cabinet.
DH traded for a very rustic cedar one and it goes perfectly in our family room. He originally wanted it for his guns but that made me too nervous, so I've convinced him to put in shelves and he stores his 'collections' of guy junk...cowboy memorailia, rocks, stuff like that. It's got bright brass colored hinges, so we're looking for rusty ones (I might try to faux finish them) to go with the rustic look of the room. I also nailed some rusty horseshoes on the sides and a rusty finish wall hanger thing, it's a row of running horses, along the bottom of the door.

The Hamilton beach 58148 is a great deal, it crashes everything and makes a very good shakes. The engine is very strong, and not that noisy in comparison to other blenders we had before. VERY recommended!
This product was billed as having the ability to "crush" ice. Even with it's more powerful motor this product does not adequately crush ice. It does no better nor worse in the other button functions. The glass carafe is heavy and somewhat cumbersome for repeated uses. It will perform the functions of any good blender, but it is definitely not a "power" blender.
It makes very good frozen margaritas and baby food. I have use it a few times and it does the work. No leaks or anything like it so far. We will see.
For the price it is a great product....not for juicing etc, but for blending and other light uses perfect
Works below expectations...doesn't break up ice very well. Mediocre appliance
Just got it have not put it to the test with the margaritas but it does turn on and work. It was delivered quickly
I got this blender for my daughter, for Christmas. She loves the design and the performance of the blender. It is very well built and we're looking forward to using it for many, many years.
Great blender, thank you Overstock.com, received it so fast, was able to use it for my holiday cooking!
When making a smoothie, it did not crush ice woithout my frequently opening and pushing down the ice. Same with pesto. To blend I needed to open/push down the ingredients down numerous times. In addition some garlic pieces and nuts fell to the bottom and were difficult to remove when washing the blender.

I have to watch my sugar intake. Is there anything out there that can be substituted for sugar to make a simple syrup? Splenda? Thanks
What about Agave nectar. It is also glucose-fructose, but tastes much sweeter so you can reduce substantially (I'd start with about 1/2 the measure of what the recipe calls for in sugar)

"Our routine life is boringly smooth and somewhere within us, we all yearn for some adventure, some action.
It was an exciting moment for the 40-odd children who waited eagerly for the man they surrounded to begin his work.
The kids' object of focus was N. Ravi Kumar, an artist working as a drawing teacher in Montessori Educational Institutions. Their excitement touched new heights as he placed his wooden easel on the floor, bang opposite Victoria Jubilee Museum on Mahatma Gandhi Road. Fixing a hand-made drawing sheet on the board, he gazed intensely at the structure on the other side of the road. In the next few minutes, he was drawing the image on the sheet even as the awe-struck kids curved their bodies and craned their necks for a closer look at the emerging picture.
The spot painting workshop organised by Spoorthi Creative Art School as part of an ongoing summer camp was a huge hit with children evincing great interest in learning nuances of the art form.
"An artist must live close to the nature.
Painting is an effective tool to portray your deepest emotions. Our wildest fantasies can be realised through this art," said Mr. Ravi Kumar.
A replica of the museum emerged on the drawing sheet as Mr. Ravi began to fill the space with water colours. Using the same shades as were used in the original structure, he exercised utmost caution to ensure that every angle of the original structure reflected in his work. Director of the art school G. Srinivas said it was his endeavour to familiarise his students with different forms of art in the summer camp. He said since, despite having loads of passion for drawing and painting, he had missed in his childhood such privileges of new avenues of learning.
He wanted to provide the same to his students and contribute in a significant way to the emerging section of current generation artists.
"Our routine life is boringly smooth and somewhere within us, we all yearn for some adventure, some action.
These art forms provide us with this much sought-after change. The long-cherished dreams and fantasies nurtured by us find their way through the art form," he said.
Through the series of programmes, Mr. Srinivas has made one thing clear; Art is a platform to express the pent up emotions and latent thoughts. It is difficult to imagine a world without the arts.

My new Purchase!
I think I might have forgotten to actually hit the box to post my message, so I hope this isn't a duplicate!
I've been drooling over this man's work for several years and yesterday I just HAD TO BUY this angel I fell in love with! (He calls her a fairy, but I have an angel garden, so have done a verbal species reassignment and in MY garden, she's an angel!)
Her body is an old propane tank and her wings are horseshoes! Isn't she beautiful!!!
Yes, I bought her in person. The artist is a man in his 80's who calls himself The Old Geezer. He has another fairy and this BIG dog with HUGE teeth and an old loooooooong saw blade out in front of his yard that has "Welcome to Geezerville" written on it...and he lives on a busy street with lots of traffic...just up the street from our own trawberrygoat! His display draws you in to see what else he has lurking around his yard. He's maybe 15 minutes from my house.
He's a delightful man who has a very humorous view of his art work and quite a creative mind. I took some pics while I was at his place, and will try and post some of them later today.
Yes, she's quite heavy. She's maybe nearly 4 1/2 feet tall to the tip of her wings. He has 18" of rebar sticking out of the bottom of her feet that you stick into the ground to hold her upright. I hauled her home in my van and hubby and grandson put her in place for me.
He says he has shipped a couple pieces, but he's a frugal man and hates to see people spend that much money just for shipping, so he kind of discourages shipping the bigger pieces.
Yes, the pic is in my garden...though I'm trying to figure out how to hide my electrical post (which is in the lower left hand corner of the pic) because it definitely detracts from my angel. I LOVE where she's located in my garden, so I'll be glad to find a way to camouflage that post.
you were in the neighborhood, while I had taken off in an entirely different direction.
instead of heading toward the airport, I went north and for whatever I got done, I never did have a chance to sit here for a while.
I sure do like that piece of iron art...
that's ingenious and you're lucky to have gotten a chance to buy it.
I've been in the yard in the past but never to really stroll around. it was way before 'garden junk' got into my head.
yesterday, my special guy and I made two round trips to my mom's house, a 45 minute drive north.
the place is sold, or at least in the final stages of paper signing..(one brother is taking care of it, so I am on the "need to know" list, which he figures I don't need to know, at this time)..but I had the go ahead to get whatever I wanted from the place.
the first trip this weekend was a piggy back washer dryer and a chrome book shelf that matches the two I already have, for porcelain things to be set in.
the second trip was the fun one...GARDEN JUNK..
she had a flair for the woods but over time, so much of it has broken down into more earthy crumbles.
I did get a few boulders, special rocks, planters, starts of shrubs, an iron plant stand my dad in law had made years ago...moss covered pieces, a garland that was over the front door and the only thing I didn't get, cuz of no ladder was a rooster weather vane.
I'm still going to try to get that, if I ever do find out who it is that bought the place.
I took lots of pictures, so I can say good-bye to her little lake front bungalow.
the charm has long since been destroyed, when the woods across the lake and across from her place has since been clear cut.
soooo heartbreaking to see.
she would be so dreadfully unhappy to see it but as it is, she's not aware of much of anything.
the stroke has robbed her of all of her wit and fun ideas.
I feel it's more or less my legacy, to find and carry on the things that bring happiness to a yard.
even if I have to go through rough times to get to that point.
there's a very weathered green house she had my brother build for her, when she first moved to the lake..it's made of 5 old window doors and one solid door, that never did work well for actually growing anything. at the time, it was too dark where it's located. now, there's more light and I'm hoping the new owner will have no use for the doors.
at least, I can only hope so.
the place has been vacant for quite a while and vandalized more than twice.
she used to walk down to the lake, gathering wild grasses and put them in vases..have little bits and pieces from the woods around..moss on branches, propped over the fireplace, pebbles on a saucer, with twigs and a tiny ceramic frog..
hand thrown, fired and glazed pottery in the garden window.
...very ethereal surroundings
jewelry necklaces, draped over the corners of framed pictures on the wall..and always fresh coffee and toast to be offered.
the rooms would smell of lavender and cloves, from the oil she mixed for the porcelain painting.
she would have loved that iron angel you found for your yard..and it would have made her miss Paul, the love of her life, who died years before her, leaving her only with his memory. She would design iron planters and wall hangings and he would disappear into his shop and weld them for her...
so Sarah, what you found is more than simple iron art. you found something to cherish. More or less like a guardian angel, to look after you, your family and over your home and yard.
g'thyme...that angel is AWESOME in your gardens! Your gardens are also very unique! I love the fencing & looks so interesting around your new angel. Don't know what you can do about the electric post...if it doesn't hurt to cover it, maybe an old oval metal barrell could be put over the top of it...rusty, metal...to compliment your angel! (with the ends cut out)
I'm glad you splurged on yourself with this wonderful Geezer find! LOL! TFS! Jeanne S.

1 A Practical Approach to the Diagnosis of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease 2 3 Authors: 4 Oluw atosin Jaiyeoba, MD 5 David E. Soper, MD 6 Department of Obstetric s and Gynecology 7 Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina 8 9 Corresponding author: David E. Soper, MD 10 Medical University of South Carolina, 11 Department of Obstetric s and Gynecology 12 96 Jonathan Lucas Street, Suite 634 13 P.O.Box 250619, Charleston, SC 29425 14 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 Abstract 30 The diagnosis of acute pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is usually based on clinical criteria and can be challenging for even the 31 most astute clinicians. Although diagnostic accuracy is advocated, antibiotic treatment should be instituted if there is a diagnosis of 32 cervicitis or suspicion of acute PID. Currently, no single test or combination of diagnostic indicators has been found to reliably 33 predict PID and laparoscopy cannot be recommended as a first line tool for PID diagnosis. For this reason, the clinician is left w ith 34 maintaining a high index of suspicion for the diagnosis as he/she evaluates the lower genital tract for inflammation and the pelvic 35 organs for tenderness in w omen w ith genital tract symptoms and a risk for sexually transmitted infection. This approach shou ld 36 minimize treating women w ithout PID w ith antibiotics and optimize the diagnosis in a practical and cost effectiv e way. 37 38 . 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 Introduction: 59 Acute PID is associated with signif icant sequelae including tubal factor infertility, ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic pain. To 60 ameliorate these adverse outcomes, an approach to its diagnosis must promote the ability to intervene w ith antimicrobial ther apy 61 early on in the course of this ascending infection. It is less important to accurately determine where the patient may lie along the 62 continuum of this ascending inflammatory process (cervicitis, endometritis, salpingitis, or peritonitis) and more important t o 63 empirically initiate an appropriate antibiotic regimen w hen the diagnosis is suspected. 64 There is a w ide variation in the symptoms, some of whic h fail to imply a pelvic etiology, associated with acute PID [Table 1]. They 65 may range from subtle or mild to severe. This requires the clinician to maintain a high index of suspicion for the diagnosis of PID. 66 Alternativ ely, the signs of PID are limited to an inflammatory exudate from the low er genital tract and pelvic organ tenderness. The 67 value of recognizing the symptoms associated with acute PID is based on their ability to trigger the clinician's e valuation of the 68 pelvis. If pelvic examination fails to reveal evidence of inflammation (if there is no leukorrhea) then the diagnosis of PID is much 69 less likely and antibiotic treatment can be withheld while the remaining diagnostic workup defines the diagnosis . How ever, evidence 70 of lower genital tract inflammation and any pelv ic organ tenderness suggests the advisability of initiating antimicrobial therapy for a 71 diagnosis of PID. 72 Laparoscopy can confirm the presence of acute salpingitis in a patient with a clinical diagnosis of PID. How ever, laparoscopy 73 cannot be used to dictate which patients are candidates for antimicrobial therapy as women w ithout acute salpingitis still require 74 antimicrobial therapy for a clinical diagnosis of endometritis without salpingitis. Therefore, despite laparoscopy being the gold 75 standard for the diagnosis of acute salpingitis, its routine use is neither feasible nor recommended. 76 The clinical diagnosis of PID is imprecise. Most studies confirm the positive predictive value (PPV) of a clinical diagnosis of PID for 77 salpingitis of 65% when confirmed by laparoscopy. No single historical, physical or laboratory finding is reliably diagnostic for acute 78 PID. We are therefore left with the challenge of diagnosing PID in such a way as to minimize its associated sequelae while at the 79 same time not over treating all w omen with pelvic pain or other genital tract symptoms w ith antimicrobials. 80 Challenges: 81 1. Determine w hich women presenting with genital tract symptoms are candidates for antibiotic therapy for a diagnosis of 82 acute PID. 83 2. Determine w hich women w ith acute PID actually have acute salpingitis since these women are at the highest risk for the 84 reproductive sequelae associated with this disease. 85 Composite Clinical Criteria: 86 The diagnosis of PID should be considered in all sexually active women w ith or w ithout lower abdominal pain and symptoms noted 87 in Table1. An assessment of risk for sexually transmitted infection (STI) enhances the specif icity of these presenting symptoms. 88 How ever, women w ithout such risk factors should still have the diagnosis considered given that many will not be accurate in 89 believing that they reside in a mutually monogamous sexual relationship. [1] Abdominal tenderness may not be present in many 90 women w ith PID, particularly if peritonitis is not present or the patient has endometritis w ithout salpingitis. A bimanual pe lvic 91 examination may reveal pelvic organ tenderness, uterine tenderness in the case of endometritis and adnexal tenderness in the case 92 of salpingitis. Cervical motion tenderness is another common finding in w omen w ith PID. The Centers for Disease Control and 93 Prevention (CDC) [2] recommends empiric treatment for PID in sexually activ e young women (25 years old or younger) and other 94 women at risk of STI (multiple sex partners or history of STI) if they are experiencing pelvic or low er abdominal pain, if no cause for 95 the illness other than PID can be identified and if one or more of the follow ing is appreciated on bimanual pelvic examination: 96 cervical motion tenderness, uterine tenderness or adnexal tenderness. The limitation of this approach is that it fails to discriminate 97 between the differential diagnoses of acute pelvic pain in reproductiv e-aged women. For this reason, the lower genital tract needs to 98 be assessed for signs of inflammation. The cervical canal should be examined for the presence of yellow or green mucopus and 99 friability. Microscopy of the vaginal secretions should be performed looking for leukorrhea (more than 1 leukocyte per epithelial 100 cell). Evaluation for bacterial vaginosis (vaginal pH, clue cells, and whiff test) and trichomonas vaginitis is in order [3-6]. Finally, 101 nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis should be performed. If the cervix is 102 normal and no white blood cells are noted during microscopy of the vaginal secretions, an alternativ e diagnosis should be 103 investigated since this reliably excludes (negative predictive value 94.5%) upper genital tract infection [7]. Because the sensitivity of 104 microscopy to detect Trichomonas vaginalis is relatively low (approximately 50%), symptomatic women w ith cervicitis and negativ e 105 microscopy for tric homonads should receive further testing (i.e. culture or polymerase chain reaction method). Standardiz ed 106 diagnostic tests for Mycoplasma genitalium are not routinely performed. Empiric antibiotic treatment should be initiated in sexually 107 active young women, especially those at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), w ith pelvic or lower abdominal pain, if no 108 other causes other than PID can be identified and if the follow ing minimum criteria are present on pelv ic examination: 109 Low er genital tract inflammation (cervic itis and/or leukorrhea [>1 leukocyte per epithelial cell on microscopy of the vaginal 110 secretions]) 111 Any pelvic organ tenderness (e.g. cervical motion tenderness, uterine tenderness or adnexal tenderness) 112 The above approach is sufficient to assure that women w ith PID w ill be treated appropriately with antibiotics. At least a third of 113 these women w ill not have acute salpingitis, but never the less are candidates for antibiotic therapy. Given that antibiotic regimens 114 are identical for the treatment of women with acute salpingitis regardless of degree of severity, there is no utility in confir ming the 115 diagnosis laparoscopically. 116 If w omen w ith the clinical diagnosis of PID w ere to undergo routine laparoscopy, visual evidence of acute tubal inflammation 117 (erythema, edema, and purulent exudate) would be confirmed approximately 65% of the time. [8, 9] Therefore, the clinical diagnosis 118 of PID may represent women w ith visually confirmed acute salpingitis. How ever, the clinical diagnosis of PID may also represent 119 women w ith cervicitis and endometritis w ithout salpingitis or w ith cervic itis alone. [10, 11] C. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, bacterial 120 vaginosis , and trichomonas vaginitis are associated with his tologic evidence of endometritis in women without the clinical 121 manifestations of PID. [10] The symptoms and signs of PID are essentially indistinguishable among women w ith acute salpingitis, 122 those with endometritis without acute salpingitis and those w ith cervic itis but neither endometritis nor salpingitis. [11-13]. 123 124 Other ancillary tests (Table 2) that can be useful in diagnosing PID include a complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate 125 (ESR) or C-reactiv e protein (CRP). These tests are recommended for patients w ith clinically severe PID. Imaging studies are most 126 helpful when ruling out competing differential diagnoses such as the use of pelv ic ultrasonography to rule out symptomatic ov arian 127 cysts and computed tomography to rule out appendicitis. Pelvic ultrasonography has limited sensitivity for the diagnosis of PID, but 128 the specif ic finding of thickened fluid-filled tubes by ultrasonography supports the diagnosis of upper genital tract inflammation. [14] 129 Pelvic ultrasonography should be ordered in patients requiring hospitalization or those with a pelvic mass. 130 131 132 133 Laboratory tests: 134 White blood cell (WBC) counts are beneficial w hen abnormal. How ever, only 60% of patients with PID present w ith elevated serum 135 WBC count [15]. ESR, a non specific inflammatory marker has been found to be elevated in PID but an elevated ESR (>15mm/h) is 136 only present in approximately 75% of women w ith acute PID and as a non specif ic maker of inflammation, can be found in other 137 disease states. CRP, another inflammatory marker has been studied in acute PID. In a series that involved 152 patients, a 138 CRP>10mg/dl had a good sensitivity (93%) and specific ity (83%) in the diagnosis of PID. [16] Furthermore, CRP levels decrease to 139 normal sooner than ESR follow ing effective antibiotic therapy and may be beneficial as a monitoring tool. 140 There might be a role for CA-125 in PID diagnosis. Duk et al. from the Netherlands looked at the relationship of CA 125 in 50 141 patients with a provisional diagnosis of PID and concluded that the finding of an elevated serum CA 125 level confirms the diagnosis 142 of peritoneal involvement in patients with a clinical diagnosis of PID. [17] They measured CA 125 concentrations in serum before 143 laparoscopy and during hospitalization, using an enzyme immunoassay and found that CA 125 concentration before laparoscopy 144 correlated w ith the extent of inflammatory peritoneal involvement and the predictive value of an elevated serum CA 125 level to 145 indicate the presence of salpingitis (grades 1-3) was 97%. How ever, the predictiv e value of a normal CA 125 level indicating normal 146 observations at laparoscopy (grade 0) was only 47%. Similarly, Mozas and co-workers [18] in Spain looked at the efficiency of 147 different tumor markers (CA-125, carcinoembryonic antigen, CA-15.3, CA-19.9) and insulin-like grow th factor I (IGF- I) 148 measurements as a screening procedure for acute PID and found no differences in the levels of CA -15.3, CA-19.9, 149 carcinoembryonic antigen and IGF- I betw een three groups studied. How ever, the serum levels of CA-125 were signif icantly higher in 150 patients who had PID and they concluded that measurement of serum CA -125 concentrations is recommended as a useful test for 151 acute PID in patients undergoing laparoscopy for pelvic pain. Paavonen and co-workers in Finland measured serum levels of CA 152 125 in 31 patients with confirmed PID and found a correlation betw een CA 125 levels and the severity of adnexal inflammation as 153 defined by laparoscopy. There was no association between isolation of specif ic microorganisms from the upper genital tract and 154 elevated CA 125 and in most of the women in this study, serum levels of CA 125 decreased during treatment. [19] Finally, Moore 155 and Soper [20] also reported a relationship between CA 125 and laparoscopically confirmed acute salpingitis and further noted that 156 the degree of elevation of CA 125 levels correlated w ith severity of tubal inflammation. 157 158 Endometrial biopsy: 159 Endometrial biopsy has been studied extensiv ely in the diagnosis of PID. It is less invasive compared with laparoscopy. The 160 presence of neutrophils and plasma cells in the endometrium are indicative of endometritis and may be used to diagnose PID. [21] 161 Kiviat and co-workers [22] looked at endometrial histopathology in 69 patients w ith clinically suspected acute PID and reported that 162 54% of the patients had both upper genital tract infection (UGTI) and laparoscopic ally confirmed salpingitis. They reported UGTI 163 without salpingitis in 1% w hile salpingitis without UGTI w as reported in 16%. The study found that the simultaneous presence of fiv e 164 or more neutrophils per x400 field in endometrial surface epithelium, together w ith one or more plasma cells per x120 field in 165 endometrial stroma w ere the best predictor of upper genital tract infection plus salpingitis. This combination had a sensitivity of 92% 166 and a specif icity of 87% for predicting the diagnosis of both UGTI and laparoscopically confirmed acute salpingitis. Additionally, 167 90% of all UGTIs identified in this study were attributable to C.trachomatis or N.gonorrhoeae and 92% of the women diagnosed with 168 UGTI and salpingitis had either chlamydia or gonorrhea infection. 169 170 171 172 Im aging studies: 173 Ultrasonography is the imaging method of choice, followed closely by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Computed tomography 174 (CT) is reserved for evaluation of the extent of PID w ithin the abdomen and interventional management. Ultrasonography is non 175 invasive, w idely available and a good diagnostic tool to have in a physician's ar mamentarium for PID diagnosis. The typical 176 ultrasound findings in acute PID have been described by Timor-Tritsch and Rottem [14], and the addition of Pow er Doppler to 177 transvaginal ultrasonography has been found to increase its sensitive in diagnosis of PID. Transvaginal ultrasonography is preferred 178 to transabdominal approach and als o helpful in guiding needles to drain abscesses. MRI is expensive but more sensitive. Tukev a et 179 al., [23] compared transvaginal ultrasonography, MRI and laparoscopy in 30 in-patients hospitalized in Finland w ith clinically 180 suspected PID and reported that MRI diagnoses was 95% correct in 21 women w ith laparoscopic ally acute salpingitis compared 181 with transvaginal sonogram that w as 81% accurate. The sensitivity of MRI in the diagnos is of PID was found to be 95%, with a 182 specif icity of 89% and overall accuracy was 93%. For transvaginal US, the corresponding value was 81%, 78% and 80% 183 respectively . MRI is more accurate than transvaginal US and provides information about the differential diagnosis of PID and as 184 such its use may also reduce the need for diagnostic laparoscopy. 185 Although the literature is replete with reports regarding the sonographic findings of PID, little w as published about CT images until 186 the last decade [24]. CT findings in early PID include obscuration of the normal pelvic floor fascial planes, thickening of the 187 uterosacral ligaments, cervicitis, oophoritis, salpingitis and accumulation of simple fluid in the endometrial canal, fallopian tubes and 188 pelvis. The simple f luid may become complex as the disease progresses and eventually become a frank tubo-ovarian or pelvic 189 abscess. Reactiv e inflammation can manifest as small or large bowel ileus or obstruction, hydronephrosis or hydroureter and r ight 190 upper quadrant inflammation (Fitz- Hugh-Curtis syndrome). One drawback of CT images how ever is the exposure to ionizing 191 radiation, w hic h can be problematic in young women. 192 If imaging is considered, we would first recommend transvaginal ultrasound and if classic findings of PID are noted on 193 ultrasound [14] no further imaging is required. If additional characteriz ation is warranted then we recommend MRI over CT because 194 its overall accuracy is greater than 93% and does not carry the additional risk of ionizing radiation. If tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is 195 suspected, we recommend an initial transvaginal ultrasound because this is the most cost effective imaging to allow percutaneous 196 drain placement. How ever, many interventional radiologists will prefer CT to guide drain placement. 197 198 Laparoscopy: 199 Laparoscopy has been shown to add considerable accuracy to the clinical methods of diagnosing acute salpingitis. [9] The 200 procedure does not aggravate the inflammatory process. Jacobson and Westrom looked at 905 cases over an eight -year period 201 (1960 -1967) and set the standard for laparoscopic diagnosis . The minimum laparoscopic criteria for visual diagnosis of acute 202 salpingitis include: pronounced hyperemia of the tubal surface, edema of the tubal wall and thirdly, a stic ky exudate on the tubal 203 surface and from the fimbriated ends when patent. In their study, they hardly encountered diffic ulties differentiating mild pathologic 204 changes and normal conditions but one major drawback that can be envisaged is the patient w ith endometritis wh o has no 205 salpingitis. In 814 cases in their series w ith suspected acute PID, 532 (65%) had laparoscopic ally confirmed acute salpingit is, 12 % 206 had other pathologic conditions and 23 % had no pathologic conditions changes. We suspect that a signif icant proportion of women 207 in the latter category had endometritis w ithout salpingitis. 208 209 In another study comparing clinical and laboratory findings with laparoscopic findings of acute PID, Eschenbach and co-workers [25] 210 reported that the severity of clinical and laboratory manifestations (other than adnexal mass) was not associated positively with tubal 211 occlusion, and that the severity of some findings was actually associated negatively with the severity of tubal damage. 212 Although laparoscopy is referred to as the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of PID, review of literature regarding its accuracy has 213 been mixed. Accuracy of a clinical diagnosis when compared w ith diagnostic laparoscopy in the diagnosis of PID has been reported 214 in various studies. Morcos et al. [26] in a study of 176 women with clinically diagnosed PID established laparoscopically confirmed 215 PID in 76.1% of the cohort. Similarly, Cohen et al. [21] in a prospective case-control study investigated the etiology of acute 216 salpingitis in a cohort of Kenyan women and confirmed salpingitis laparoscopic ally in 142 (90%) of the 158 women w ith a clinical 217 diagnosis of acute PID. Conversely , Peipert et al. [27] found the sensitivities of both the accepted clinical criteria and the triad of 218 laparoscopy visualization of edema, erythema and purulent exudates to be low . In that study, the sensitivities of the CDC's minimal 219 clinical criteria for PID and the laparoscopic triad of edema, erythema, and purulent exudates were 65% and 60% respectively . 220 Sellors [28] also found laparoscopy to be 50% and 80% sensitive and specif ic respectively. In this study, additional evidence from 221 endometrial and fimbrial biopsy increased the prevalence of confirmed PID from 30% in visual diagnosis alone to 46% when 222 endometrial and fimbrial minimbiopsy evidence was included. 223 224 Women w ith a recurrent diagnosis of PID and persistently negativ e NAATs and who are classif ied as "lower risk" epidemiologica lly 225 should have laparoscopy to consider alternativ e diagnoses such as endometriosis. 226 227 228 229 Conclusion: 230 Diagnostic laparoscopy w ith concomitant endometrial biopsy (subsequently examined histologically) in women w ith cervicitis w ill 231 accurately define the continuum of inflammation associated w ith a clinical diagnosis of PID. This approach will allow the 232 clinician/investigator to define as to whether the patient/subject has cervicitis/endometritis/acute salpingitis, cervic itis/endometritis or 233 cervicitis alone. This comprehensiv e approach is neither practical nor cost effective for those not in a res earch setting. 234 A purely clinical approach using the findings of lower genital tract inflammation (leukorrhea) associated w ith pelv ic organ tenderness 235 will identify the vast majority of women w ith PID and all are candidates for antibiotic therapy (Figure 1). We recommend this 236 approach as the most practical and cost effectiv e. . 237 Finally, additional testing and imaging is important in tw o scenarios. First, in differentiating alternativ e diagnoses such as ovarian 238 cysts and appendicitis. Second, in the more seriously ill patient w ho needs additional evaluation to assess the degree of sepsis and 239 to consider the presence of a tuboovarian abscess. Women with severe PID are candidates for hospital admission and parenteral 240 antibiotic therapy. 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 REFERENCES. 264 1.

Severe Internet issues since returning from vacation. Please help with diagnosis
I went on a 7-day honeymoon, and my father-in-law stayed at our place. Not only did the Internet not work when we returned, but the furnace was broken, Chromecast doesn't work at all, and my car makes a terrible noise.
I returned to ~100 windows showing this message: http://imgur.com/WCdrsTl
No big deal, I thought. I will just turn off the router, and modem, and then turn the modem back on, and then the router back on.
Success! Or so I thought. The next day, my wife informed me that the Internet was still not working.
Today, I finally managed to get my Chromecast to work by a fluke. Normally, it cycles through beatuiful pictures, but now, it does not do this anymore. In fact, it shows 1 picture, and then the TV will go black, but it does indicate that it's receiving a signal. When I unplug it, it says "No Signal" on the TV, and I restart it. It shows 1 beautiful picture, and then goes black again.
When the Chromecast failed, so did our Internet.
It said we were connected, but we certainly were not. I unplugged everything, then re-plugged them in, and it said that I DID NOT have Internet connection, but I actually COULD browse online. Weird, I know.
The Internet is patchy at best. Today, I was trying to stream, and Shockwave plug-in failed. I had to restart everything to see if it would fix the problem.
When I came to reddit, it took a hell of a long time to load.
What can I do to help you help me?

Im sorry but I don't think anyone here can work miracles. Best advice I can offer is DO NOT let your father-in-law stay at your place any longer.

I was wondering would suggest a system restore, or is great with routers and could help me out with settings.

I would just back up any data you want to preserve manually with an external HDD and format your computer. put a password on it, and don't give the password to your father in law.
I am your savior. I am corruption. I am the angel, of your destruction.
I am perversion. Secret desire. I am your future, swallowed up in fire.

Please help.
I did a system restore. I tried plugging the ethernet directly into the modem after the problem happened again. It didn't work. http://imgur.com/dL9XGd7

Your father-in-law is a butthole and should pay for the damages. Don't be overbearing just because you're "family".
- My vision is augmented
Your dumb ass father in law infected you computer with one or more viruses and the damage has already been done. Backup all your stuff and reformat your computer. Factory reset your modem and router and start over. Step 2 Build a strong resentment towards your father in law and never let him near your stuff again.

Have you tested internet connectivity from other devices (laptop, tablet, phone, etc). If those work with no issues, then the problem lies within that specific computer. If the other devices do not work, then your internet connectivity as a whole is having issues (call your ISP for help).
As far as backing up and reformatting, you may simply move the problem to the new install. By backing up infected data, it will be back as soon as you load it up on the new system. It's best to completely format and start over, sucks.

Four Christmases ago, I joined the smartphone brigade when I found an iPhone 4S nestled under the tree. Oh boy! I thought. Now I can grab all those iOS games that people can't shut up about! And for a couple of years, I was an eager mobile beaver.
These days, I'm still rockin' that 4S because upgrading for the sake of upgrading is for chumps. But the magic of mobile gaming has faded. I've grown so jaded. It's the complete lack of honesty among the most prominent mobile publishers that really busts my bojangles.
Now here is FreakZone Games, the studio behind Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, hoping to deliver a similarly challenging retro experience to the mobile space. FreakZone empathizes with folks who despise the freemium model and lament the deficiencies of virtual buttons, and presents Jump'N'Shoot Attack as an answer to our woes.view full story + comments
Telltale seems to be getting into the swing of things with Game of Thrones, in more ways than one. For starters, it only took seven weeks since the last episode for this one to come out. If Telltale can keep up that pace, the season should conclude this August.
More importantly, this is the first episode to really capture the essence of A Song of Ice and Fire. Where Iron From Ice was mostly setup and The Lost Lords felt a little like filler, The Sword in the Darkness finally starts to get the members of House Forrester moving toward something that feels like progress. The situation is still dismal, but faint flickers of light at the end are just now coming into focus.view full story + comments
I've been seeing a few people posting screenshots of this adorably drawn cat game all over Twitter lately and I've had no idea what it was. Thanks to this helpful blog, however, I am now learned. The game is Neko Atsume, an i...

Well, this one snuck up on me. I thought I had been following most of Telltale's releases pretty closely, but it turns out that Game of Thrones Episode 3: The Sword in the Darkness is coming out tomorrow. Who knew? In the tr...

Amazon is giving away 34 Android apps today, and some of them aren't crap. Take a look!
Consider nabbing Kingdom Rush Origins if you're into tower defense, and Five Nights at Freddy's 2 if you're curious about the animatronic jump-scare craze. Familiar titles like Cut the Rope and World of Goo are in here too, as is the largely unknown but lovable-as-heck Deep Under the Sky.view full story + comments
Final Fantasy XI is 13 years old. As is the case with 13-year-olds, Square Enix is getting a bit sick of dealing with it. The PS2 and Xbox 360 versions of the MMO will shut down in March of 2016. Final Fantasy XI's main...

Another Telltale episode, another excessively large set of screenshots taken as I played through with an Xbox 360 controller while keeping my pinky finger on the F12 key. Tales from the Borderlands still looks great despite t...

[Disclosure: Anthony Burch, who consulted on the story for Tales from the Borderlands, was previously employed at Destructoid. As always, no relationships, personal or professional, were factored into the review.]
Tales from the Borderlands: Zer0 Sum released nearly four months ago, and it was fantastic. As an introduction to the intertwined stories of Rhys and Fiona, it did everything it needed to do. It laid out the groundwork for the main narrative arc, it kept me engaged and laughing throughout, and it ended on a note that left me anxious to continue the story as soon as possible.
And then the waiting happened. Months passed with little word on the second episode. Could it live up to the anticipation after all this time?
It turns out that it does. Though perhaps not quite as excellent as the first episode, this one turned out great in its own right, and now I'll be eagerly awaiting the next installment. I just hope it isn't another four months away.view full story + comments
I'm not sure what to say. I don't feel right after watching this.

Just because it's running on devices that aren't as powerful as PC or consoles, doesn't mean that Mortal Kombat X tones down the violence for its mobile version. No, judging by this gameplay video, all the skull-crunchi...

I've got to hand it to Square Enix -- Mevius Final Fantasy does look impressive. Certainly no All the Bravest. I also don't want to play games on my cellphone so this is not for me. So it's fine that it is only coming to iOS and Android in Japan this spring. Though I am feeling the weird backless, capris overalls at 1:13. Wish I had back muscles like that.
