Placental abruption occurs when the placenta separates from the uterus before the fetus is delivered. The placenta is the organ that provides nourishment for the fetus while it is still in the uterus. In a healthy pregnancy, the placenta remains attached to the uterine wall until after the fetus is delivered.
Some form of the condition affects about one in every 150 births. In very severe forms, placental abruption can cause death to the fetus. This occurs less commonly. Death of the mother from placental abruption is very rare.
Placental abruption can cause:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The direct cause of placental abruption is not clearly understood. It may be a combination of several events. These may include:
Factors that may increase your chance of developing placental abruption:
In the early stages, you may not have symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A pelvic exam will also be done to examine your reproductive organs.
Tests may include:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Fluids may be given by IV to replace lost fluids. Blood transfusions may also be given to replace lost blood supply.
The mother and fetus will be carefully monitored for signs of distress or shock, including abnormal heart rates.
If danger exists for mother or fetus, an emergency cesarean section may be done. If both the mother and fetus are at low risk of complications and the fetus is full-term, the mother may deliver vaginally.
To help reduce your chance of getting placental abruption, take the following steps:

What kind of interesting developments or projects could this lead to?
I'm not bridging the gap between the ubuntu source packages and how this will make a difference in my head.
Phoronix: Ubuntu Packages Get Bazaar-ed
One of the planned development changes for Ubuntu 9.04 (the Jaunty Jackalope) is transitioning all Ubuntu source packages to having their own Bazaar repositories. From there, anyone can then clone these source-code repositories and do whatever they wish. For now the Bazaar repositories for most of the Ubuntu source packages are being housed at package-import.ubuntu.com, but with time they will be integrating these services with Launchpad and will be introducing several new features...
What kind of interesting developments or projects could this lead to?
I'm not bridging the gap between the ubuntu source packages and how this will make a difference in my head.
It'll make the process of patching a package easier, I think.
atm, if you want to patch, you need to get the source of the package (via launchpad, packages.ubuntu.com, or some apt command that nobody really knows), make the patch, then make a .diff, upload the diff to launchpad.net.
but this way you could use bzr to branch a package, make your changes, and then propose your branch for merging.
makes sense as ubuntu is promoting the use of bzr too.
This should make the lives of the package maintainers much easier. It will also (hopefully) facilitate contributions by people who are not running ubuntu - much easier to create a bazaar branch, modify and diff than hunt for the upstream repo, add the ubuntu patches, modify and diff.
Sounds like someone haven't seen Linus' talk about git
I don't wish to start a flame war here, but that talk is rather unconvincing. Linus does a good job of bashing centralized vcs, but gives no reasons as to why git is better than bazaar or mercurial.
This page, however, gives several reasons to choose bazaar over git.
At 10:50 does he in fact. it boils down to
* distributed
* performance
* integrity
If you watch the video from there, most of the bashing is over, and he explains why these 3 issues are so important.
It is actually very interesting with the performance part. He have the exact same reason Google have for making Java Script fast in Chrome.
That's a great link! I didn't knew that Bazaar had these advantages.
But with anything. Which is best: Blue or Red? It's a matter of what ones needs are, and I now realizes that is the same for bzr and git.

Natural History of Sickle Cell Disease and Other Hemolytic Disorders

- How to Read a Study Record
Under this study, NIH physicians will evaluate and treat patients with sickle cell disease and other hemolytic disorders (diseases involving damage to red blood cells) in order to learn more about the diseases and the painful attacks and lung complications that are often associated with them. Patients in this study will not receive experimental therapy, but will be given standard medical care. Patients who meet the medical criteria for another NIH protocol may be offered participation in that study, but are not obligated to enroll in it.
Patients 5 years of age and older with known or suspected sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait or another anemia or red blood cell disorder such as thalassemia may be eligible for this study. Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center as an inpatient or outpatient for evaluation and treatment. In addition to a physical examination, evaluation may include the following types of tests and procedures:
- Routine blood and urine tests, including a 24-hour urine collection
- Blood test for genetic analysis to look for genes that may be relevant to the development of sickle cell anemia or other hemolytic disorders
- X-rays, if needed, to evaluate the patient's condition
- Computerized tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or both, as needed to examine the lungs, brain, or heart and to measure blood flow in these organs.
- Echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) to determine if there is high blood pressure in the lungs
- Pulmonary (lung) function tests and cardiopulmonary (heart and lung) exercise test to evaluate breathing and exercise capacity to determine if there are lung or heart problems associated with the patient's condition.
- Heart catheterization to measure blood pressures in the heart and lung blood vessels will be offered if the results of clinical evaluation or echocardiogram suggest the presence of high blood pressure in the lungs. For this procedure, the patient is given a local anesthetic, and a catheter (plastic tube) is inserted into a vein in the arm, thigh, chest, or neck until it passes through the right side of the heart. When the catheter is in place, a tiny balloon at the end of the catheter is inflated, temporarily blocking the blood flow and allowing the physician to measure pressure in the lung artery system.
- Ventilation-perfusion scan to measure breathing and circulation in all areas of the lungs. For the perfusion scan, radioactive albumin is injected into a vein and the patient is placed on a table that is positioned under the scanner. The lungs are scanned to detect the location of the radioactive particles as blood flows through the lungs. The ventilation scan is performed by scanning the lungs while the patient inhales a radioactive gas. A mask is placed over the nose and mouth, and the patient breathes the gas while sitting or lying on the table beneath the arm of the scanner. The gas is breathed out entirely in a matter of minutes and is removed from the room by a special exhaust system.
Patients are offered treatment for high blood pressure in the lungs. The medicines used are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for patients with pulmonary hypertension.

Hemoglobin SC Disease Hematologic Diseases Sickle Cell Anemia Hemolytic Anemia |
Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | Studies of the Natural History of Sickle Cell Disease and Other Hemolytic Disorders |
Estimated Enrollment: | 99999999 |
Study Start Date: | April 2004 |
This protocol will permit the evaluation and treatment of subjects with hereditary and acquired hemolytic diseases, to facilitate understanding of the pathogenesis and natural history of vaso-occlusive painful crisis and pulmonary complications of sickle cell disease and related cardiopulmonary complications of other hereditary, acquired and iatrogenic hemolytic disorders. Patients will be evaluated with a medical history and physical examination and routine laboratory studies will be obtained as needed to assess diagnosis, disease activity, and disease complications and to monitor for treatment-related responses and toxicities. Blood can be obtained, with subject's consent, for research studies evaluating gene/protein expression and to evaluate the role of vasodialators, vasoconstrictors, inflammatory and redox stress mediators in this population. Patients identified with pulmonary hypertension will have the option to undergo invasive hemodynamic evaluation and treatment with FDA approved drugs, according to current standards of medical practice, with signed informed consent for all offered procedures. Patients eligible for other research protocols will be offered an opportunity to participate in theses studies by signed informed consent. Apart from such protocols, any medical care recommended or provided to the patient will be consistent with routine standards of practice and will be provided in consultation with the patient's referring physician. The establishment of this protocol will provide a means to evaluate and treat patients, and to generate hypotheses and protocols based on this clinical experience in sickle cell disease and in other acquired or inherited hemolytic anemias.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 5 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Patients with sickle cell disease and other hemolytic disorders will be evaluated at the NIH CCMD/NHLBI/NIDDK sickle cell clinic or day hospital. Patients will not be recruited or selected with reference to age, race or gender. The patient population is expected, however, to be predominantly minority in composition (mainly African-American and Latino, with some Asian, European and Native American patients as well) as function of demographics and genetics of these diseases. Children may be evaluated or treated in this protocol with parental informed consent and assent of the child when appropriate.
- Known or suspected sickle cell disease and other hereditary hemolytic disorders such as thalassemia, hereditary sphyerocytosis.
- Immune or other acquired hemolytic states, such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
- Iatrogenic hemolytic states (e.g. post-cardiopulmonary bypass or post-transfusion).
- Over 5 years of age (all ages).
- Willingness and capacity to provide informed consent or appropriate informed consent from parent or legal guardian.
-Any concurrent condition (medical, social, behavioral) which in the opinion of the research team would preclude or confound acquisition/interpretation of data or delivery of clinical care.

Question: bouncing/shaking vigorously at stop signs
I have toyota camry 99 XLE. Recently, the car would start shaking / bouncy at red light or every time I stop, and the rpm needle would go below 1, almost about to die. It also did same thing sometime ago when I started the engine. It never happened earlier, is it because of transmission fluid or something else? Earliest reply would be sincerely appreciated.

Some games do.
Most games don't.
On Linux, all games do. Recall also that Windowed (Maximized) is essentially supposed to work like a windowed application without borders.
While I agree with the first part if this post, I question your presence on a Linux gaming forum given your second paragraph.
No, you're right.
It's a forum dedicated to Linux/FreeBSD/GNU benchmarking and 3D-applications.
This subforum is only used for Linux/FreeBSD/GNU 3D-applications using a specific set of hardware and software that's specifically designed for gaming or rendering other forms of home entertainment.
Unless you're talking about the workstation stuff but almost nobody does here, so effectively it is a gaming forum.
Not in the direct sense. This isn't a forum about discussing games, but rather discussing how to make them work.
So why questioning my presence then?
"But that's OK; I don't intend to play games on Linux."
What other program than a game uses fullscreen 3D-rendering that in any way might require alt+tabbing?
Yeah, I thought so.
And even if there were, this question would be relevant to those as well.
So even if you have a reason to be on the forum other than trolling, you DEFINITELY had no reason to be in this thread other than trolling.
You can quit trolling me now anyway as I'll be going. I've got my answer. Someone else on these forums were having practically a monologue with himself because everyone else were so unhelpful. He asked the question and 3 days and no replies later he comes back with the answer. Turns out it was the same question but it had been rolled off to page 7 and he replied to himself just after I made this thread.
The source of the problem is thoroughly shameful for AMD and their driver team, but then again that's really nothing new:
The game must run as root.
I'm outta here.
It has nothing to do with ati drivers in this case. I have nvidia and have the same problem playing some or maybe all wine games. For example playing starcraft it is not possible to use alt + tab to minimize the window out of the fullscreen mode. The most good programmed native games like altitude do not have this problem.
I just wanted to come back and confirm a bit.
I do not have this problem with the NVIDIA drivers on my NVIDIA computer, so I am fairly sure it is related to FGLRX in some way. Especially since it happens on ALL Linux games, also on things like HoN, Minecraft, Altitude etc.
Maybe there are two overlapping bugs - one with X.org permissions and Wine, and one with the FGLRX stack. It can get pretty jumbled like that.
I am not very keen on running my programs as root. Especially not Wine. It can cause permission problems. Wine actually says ".wine is not owned by you" so I have to change its permission. And then the drivers start displaying artefacts instead. Change it back to my own user, and the artefact goes away, and the alt+tab probelm reappears.
What was so funny is that I really had it working for no apparent reason at all. All of a sudden I was running World of Warcraft in full screen, I could alt+tab, and it wasn't in admin mode. That's why I made this thread - incase someone knew.
I think it's safe to say they didn't. :P
I have the same issue, so if you do find a solution please post it here, and I will do the same.
Its annoying because the only game I play runs like poop with the open drivers, but I cant play and read the net (its a slow game) with the fglrx ones.
Running as root sometimes shakes the problem, and it sometimes still exists, similar (although) not as bad as running it normally.
...well, you could try unrawing the keyboard. Alt-Sysrq-R
not sure what result that will give you in a fullscreen gl app. have fun

Wireless Network
The SSID is i3 , there is no encryption, this is considered a feature (for the moment).
You may occasionally see an SSID of 3302 or 1216, these are the FIRST Robot control WLANs. They are completely isolated networks and are probably not very interesting to you.
LAN Addresses
Internally, we are using the 10.13.0.0/16 supernet. It should sidestep most VPN overlap problems, should we establish any connections to other locations. At present, we are only using one subnet of this: 10.13.0.0/24.
Subnet: 10.13.0.0/24
Static Hosts
If you have something that needs to be attached to the network at i3Detroit, a static IP address can be assigned to it. This is useful in cases where something like a printer or a tool needs to be on the network with a known address that doesn't change.
Most member and guest laptops, however, do not need one of these.
If you have something that needs a fixed address but can't be configured for one (for some reason), something known as a DHCP reservation can be applied. Please contact Joe B or Nate W to help you out with this.
If you can, please try to create a wiki page with information about the thing you just attached to the network, and link to that from the IP address listing here.
Static hosts use the following settings:
IP address | Take an unused address from the table below. Document which address you used. When in doubt, ping first. |

Harmony is a a young, horny ball of fun who looks hot with a cock in her mouth -- and that\'s really all we require to be an OTB girl. Harmony may be playful, but she doesn\'t fuck around when you put a cock in front of her face. She takes her blowjobs very seriously and can go from licking a set of balls to hanging upside down and opening her throat to get face fucked in less than two minutes and make it all look like a walk in the park. How does she do it? Well, she loves sucking cocks and they\'re attracted to her throat like a magnet. Once she gets going, she won\'t quit until she\'s gobbled up a mouthful of nut.
Harmony, you really are the shizzle!

Creole Split Pea Soup
I recently made Cajun red beans and rice and it was the first time that I had had andouille sausage and I was quite taken by it and anxious to use it again. Given the chilly weather I was thinking that a soup would be just the ticket and I since I had also been contemplating doing a split pea soup, I decided that I would combine the two and do a Creole style split pea soup with andouille sausage. Split pea soup has to be one of my favourite winter soups and I really like the way the split peas break down and naturally thicken the soup and make it nice and creamy. Given that it takes a few hours for the peas to fully cook, you have a good long simmer on your hands which is just perfect for adding a smoky ham hock to imbue the soup with a ton of flavour.
For this soup I started with a base of onions, celery, green pepper, garlic and homemade chicken stock. To that I added some Creole style seasonings including paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano and thyme in addition to the andouille sausage. With that, all that was left was to sit back and let the soup simmer to perfection. I have to say that this is one tasty soup and all of the flavours work really well together! As tasty as this soup was on day one, this is one of those soups that only gets better with time so I am looking forward to enjoying the leftovers for lunches this week! This is the second dish that I have tried with andouille sausage and I was instantly hooked to both of them. I am looking forward to working with andouille sausage again.
Creole Split Pea Soup
(makes 4 servings)Printable Recipe
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 pound andouille sausage (cut into small pieces)
1 cup onion (diced)
1/2 cup celery (diced)
1/2 cup green pepper (diced)
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
6 cups ham broth or chicken broth or chicken stock
1 1/2 cups yellow split peas
1 ham hock
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat, add the sausage and saute until lightly golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the onions, celery and green pepper to the pan and cook until tender, about 7-10 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add the stock, split peas, ham hock, paprika, cayenne, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer covered until the peas are soft and tender, about 1-3 hours.
6. Remove the ham hock, pull the meat from it, cut it into bite sized pieces and add it back to the pot if desired.
Slow Cooker: Implement step 1, optionally implement steps 2 & 3, place everything in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-10 hours or high for 2-4 hours.

Gov. Hassan says she smoked marijuana while in college
During an interview on WMUR-TV's Sunday morning "Close-Up" program, the governor was asked by host Josh McElveen whether she had ever tried marijuana.
Hassan, 55, attended college in the late 1970s and early 1980s. She graduated from Brown University and then attended Northeastern University School of Law.
Hassan, in her State of the State address last Thursday, said, "Legalizing marijuana won't help us address our substance use challenge. Experience and data suggests it will do just the opposite."
"I do not believe that a young person with a substance problem should end up in jail, prison or with a criminal record on their first offense," she said, calling for a "comprehensive review of our criminal code and our sentences to consider alternative options that will focus on treatment first."
Over the past few decades, a number of political figures have admitted to use of marijuana.
Former President Bill Clinton admitted during the 1992 presidential campaign that he tried marijuana but "didn't inhale." Fourteen years later, in 2006, presidential candidate Obama admitted that he tried it and said he did inhale because "that was the point."

1963 Topps StickersAnother of the interesting Topps Issues of the 1960's !Topps inserted these Stick-Ons (stickers) in several of series of their 1963 Topps baseball cards. Interestingly, the Stick-On inserts were not mentioned or advertised on wax pack wrappers in 1963. The complete 1963 Topps Stick-Ons set is packed with HALL-OF-FAMERS and contains 46 stickers measuring 1-1/4" x 2-3/4". The Stick-Ons come in 2 distinct variations. They can be found either with blank-backs or the scarcer variation with instructions printed on the back. The Stick-Ons have with an approx. 3/16" "white" band running left to right across the mug shot. This band appears to be lighter than the printing above and below it. Theory is that it is an aging effect caused by the backing strip. TOP STARS: Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, Sandy Koufax, Stan Musial, Al Kaline, Carl Yastrzemski, Ernie Banks and tons MORE !!!

Welcome to the Auto Dealer comprehensive and easy to use on-line comparative shopping mall for New Car in sale in South Africa for 2014.
Take time to read up on your favourite vehicles and compare them to their rivals as you study different specifications, watch videos, post or read reviews, or enter into some of the discussions on specific models.
With thousands of new cars to choose from, you will be able to gather all the new car specs and information you will need before booking a test drive with a nearby dealer and putting what you have read to the test!
Buying a new vehicle, especially for the first time buyer, can become a daunting task once the buyer starts looking at what the market has to offer. Each brand has a myriad of new cars to choose from and almost every sales person has what seems like a valid reason for you to buy his product.
One way to help you to choose correctly is to first establish what type of vehicle you require. Are you going to use it for shopping and running the kids around or are you looking for a more fancy up market product as a second car?
Once you have established the type of car you need the next step is to do some research on what is available. The best way of doing this is through the many reviews that are available which should consist of a balanced opinion of the various vehicles available on the market.
www.AutoDealer.co.za offer reviews on virtually all of the products that feature on our pages reviews which can be a great informational piece to have when determining which car you want to buy. These reviews have been written by our consultants after careful research gleaned from many different sources. In addition to this there are many other websites that cater for reviews written by the car owners themselves. As a new car buyer however, you must understand that the information found on these sites is based on the opinions and factual experiences of the owners and could be biased due to many different reasons.
Once you have narrowed down your choice of cars based on knowing what you require and based on what you have read in the car reviews, you are ready to go to enquire on-line with us and have a nearby authorised dealer contact you so that you begin test driving your vehicle. If you have done your homework properly you will be well informed and will be able to ask the right questions and, who knows, you may also be able to use this well earned information to negotiate an excellent deal.

Make sure you now flip from angry to supportive. You got your point across and he's listening intently.
It's VERY important that you now recognize even the tinies efforts in a big way. Don't be afraid to show your appreciation in the bedroom either (yes I mean THAT thing that you don't enjoy)
Seriously though..... don't continue to antagonize now that the point is across. This is now healing time.

Looking for scoop on Dancing With the Stars pro Peta Murgatroyd? We've got all the latest Peta Murgatroyd photos, gossip, and news right here!
Quick Facts:
Full Name: Peta Jane Murgatroyd
Age: 26
Dance Style: Latin
Nationality: Australian
Height: 5'7"
Season 16 Partner: Bachelor Sean Lowe
Peta was born on July 16, 1986, in Auckland, New Zealand, and raised in Perth, Western Australia. She began dancing at age four, dedicating herself to classical ballet for 12 years. Once she took up ballroom dancing, however, it was game over: Three months after she started, she became the Australian State Champion. She has competed abroad and placed in multiple championships around the world.
DWTS Data
Peta first hit the DWTS dance floor as a member of Season 12's pro performance troupe. She joined the show the following season, paired with basketball star Ron Artest. After landing in 12th place on Season 13, she came back to win the Mirror Ball trophy with Season 14 partner Donald Driver, an NFL star.
Beyond DWTS
Beginning in 2004, Peta toured with the show Burn the Floor for six years. When it hit Broadway in August 2009, she was chosen to be the lead female dancer.
After splitting with longtime love Damian Whitewood, an Australian professional ballroom dancer and former Dancing With the Stars pro, in 2012, Peta dated hotheaded DWTS pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy for 10 months before their February 2013 breakup.

LilyHairLight BrownFine or Thin HairExcellent Results After 4 MonthsI was shedding 100-150 hairs/day for about 6 months. One derm told me this was normal since I was in my late 40s and probably going through the change. He injected my scalp with a steriod which really HURT but it also caused bald patches wherever there was an injection. Needless to say, I lost a lot of my hair (50%) on the crown. I went to a specialist and she prescribed Rogaine for men. It started working within weeks and my hair loss is now down to maybe 10 hairs/day. All the bald patches are covered in new hair growth. The side effects are basically as everybody has listed including the itchy, flaky scalp and peach fuzz facial hair. I found that Head and Shoulders works well. When I went back to the derm she prescribed PG free minoxidil and that works really well as far as controlling the itchiness. When women lose their hair, it can be devastating to our self-esteem so it you are suffering, give this a try and be patient. I was horrified to go out, but it takes time to work and in the meantime there are alot of products such as Toppik and Dermatch that can help until your hair starts coming back.posted Dec 15, 2010Link to this post
LoriMNHairMedium BrownFine or Thin HairSo Excited!I researched this thouroughly before trying, I knew to watch for my hair initially falling out in the beginning, which it did. Now, after 4 months, I have 'baby hairs' around my hairline and throughout my crown, very similar to after dealing with post-pregnancy hair loss and it then coming back in. I grew up with thick hair and noticed substantial changes to my shaft thickness and the amount of hair on my head in my early 20's. I am very excited to continue this treatment. I am using the men's foam, typically once a day, and purchased the 3-pack for little more than the 1-month supply. The foam is easier for me to apply and less fear of spillage. I will also note that I am seeing my peach fuzz increase in length, and density, on the sides of my face, but they're baby fine and light, so I don't really care as the hair on top of my head is so much more of an issue to me. I do not have dandruff, or itching, I wonder if it's because I'm using it only once a day, but it's stronger men's version. I will continue using it!! It's not really more expensive than a good multivitamin, or even one nice bottle of face moisturizer at the beauty counter, and it's proving itself so much more!posted Nov 3, 2010Link to this post
Farz J.SeattleDermatologist RecommendedLong story short: my hair was falling out in CHUNKS. :( after freaking out, I went to a dermatologist who told me it was genetics. Boo hoo. She recommended rogaine. After the first use I noticed less hair loss. Praise the Almighty.
She did tell me that this is a life long commitment, and that j could possibly get some unwanted hair on my face. Well that is yet to happen. I have used this for a week now, and I love it. :)posted Sep 4, 2010Link to this post -
Mary F.NewyorkHairPlatinum BlondeFine or Thin HairThe Ups And Down About Rogaine.I have been using rogaine for about eight months. My hair has been growing in, but now there is a side effect involved. I now have facial hair growing. My doctor has advised me to use rogaine once at bedtime instead of twice a day.Well now I am back to losing whatever hair had grown in on my scalp. Besides my scalp is very itchy and flacky.posted Sep 2, 2010Link to this post
HonestlyAtlanta, GAThe Facts About RogaineIm 45 and was diagnosed with Alepecia 4 years ago. My mother has thinning hair and I was the lucky one who inherited it from her. Rather disappointing as I was the daughter with gorgeous hair until then. My dermatologist said Rogaine is the the only product outside of hair treatment that works. So I tried it. It took about 5 months to see a difference. For the ladies who are looking for answers, here are the facts. 1) Read the labels and instructions carefully. Rogaine specifically says to use it every day, twice a day. 2) It makes NO promises to work for everyone, rather says "individual results vary". So if it didnt work for you, I know it is saddening, but your genetics rejected it. Its not the products fault. 3) The instructions also say, you will have hair loss from dead hair in the beginning, but that will stop and start to regrow. Also tells you, you must continue using it or it will have a reverse effect. READ YOUR LABELS AND INSTRUCTIONS. 4) Neutrogenia makes a scalp treatment shampoo I use for the flaking once a week to keep the itching and flaking under control, then use my regular shampoo immediately after. No, I do not have long tresses as a result of Rogaine, but do have baby fine hairs that have sprouted and remained on the hairline and frontal crown which helped the thinning. I say "best" because its the best on the market for the price outside of plugs or replacement surgery.posted May 14, 2009Link to this post
A GirlWest VirginiaIt Totally Works!I have had thin and fine hair my whole life. Finally at 30 my hair was getting super thin on top. I decided to try Rogaine for women 7.5 months ago. It is great. My hair is grown a lot and my hair gets easier to style and deal with everyday. My close friend are amazed. They said they want to buy stock. They have known me since age 12. I have read a ton of reviews about this product. It does make the scalp itchy at times (especially in the first few months). It does make you shed (alot at first when you least need to shed). It is hard to deal with the first couple of months. You need to develop a routine to apply it. I am here to say if you have heredity cause hair loss like I do...that it works if you stick to it. I am getting ready to try a generic mens solution (at the sugesstion of a dermatologist). It runs $17 for 4 months, very affordable.Girls, keep your head up!posted Mar 24, 2008Link to this post
AngelaMontreal, CanadaGreatThose of you who put 4 starts obviously didnt do their research before taking the product. There is usually shedding within the first 3 months on using Rogaine. This is the dead hair falling out to be replaced by new ones. It takes about 6 months for regrowth. And to those who lost their hair after stopping to use it it.. OBVIOUSLY! Youre supposed to continue taking it forever. If you stop, obviously the hair you grew back will fall out.posted Mar 4, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousSt. Louis, MOAlternatives For Itchy ScalpI started using Rogaine and also experienced the itchy scalp - I had to stop using it even though I was really worried about losing more hair (just diagnosed with Alopecia). My derm was able to perscibe a formula that didnt cause itching but I have to have it filled at the pharmacy. I heard that if you stick with Rogaine the itching gets better... anyone have that happen? Im told it takes at least 4 months to see results so I cant say if it works or not yet. I guess it works on some forms of hair loss but not all. Im keeping my fingers crossed.posted Aug 30, 2007Link to this post
MonikaSan Diego, CaFda Big Mistake Of Approving Rogaine Into Every DrugstoreI am in my 20s and was using Rogaine for about a year or two. I started using Rogaine as I was experiencing heavy hair loss due to very intensive physical stress and I strongly regret it. Rogaine could be maybe helpful for those who have genetic hair loss but it is NO help for hair loss of any other reason. I stopped using it about 5 months ago and immediately I started to experience severe hair loss that is still going on. It is very frustrating.posted Aug 31, 2006Link to this post
MaryWIWorks Well So Far!I am a 45-yr old woman whose hair started to thin during the onset of menopause (about 2-3 years ago). My thick hair had always been my "crowning glory" so the comments from my children and hair stylist about my "thin hair" hit hard. Thinning hair due to menopause happens gradually so it kind of sneaks up on you. You look in the mirror one day and realize your hair is sparser than it used to be and theres a lot more scalp peeking through. I know the product documentation states that it takes approximately 4 months to notice a difference, but Ive been using this product for a month and already Ive seen a noticeable improvement. Tiny patches where hair follicles had closed now have hair growing out of them, albeit very tiny, thin hair. These supposedly will grow thicker and longer as time goes on. However, the overall effect already is less scalp showing. As far as the side effects, I did initially have some tingling on the scalp where the product was applied, but it was never what I would call evenly remotely painful. The big drawback for me is dry scalp and dandruff that has occurred since using this product. Head & Shoulders shampoo keeps it under control, but its weird because I never had that problem before. Its a small price to pay for the increase in hair volume. Overall, Im satisified.posted Jul 27, 2006Link to this post

Hey everyone,
My sponsor is out of town and I brought this up at a meeting but got no real reply... I tried to stay after but there was a newcomer and so that took the front burner... anyway... I am still making ammends but have worked all 12 steps. My sponsor is strongly suggesting that I start taking on sponsees but I am not ready. I chair meetings and I go to the special events and volunteer to read at meetings but I just don't feel ready to sponsor. I also work in the social work field and have a passion for animals. I guess after all these years getting drunk or high I have a lot of places I want to give back. Does service work have to be for addicts? Can it count to be volunteering with my clients or for the humane society etc. I don't know how to fit it all in and I am getting stressed out about it and feeling pressured to be a sponsor. I will have 5 mo on Sept 4th so its not like I have been sober for a long time and I am complacent. What do you guys think?

Darkness.com ☥'s curator insight,
January 29, 4:36 PM
Comic books are great, but the question this article poses is: "Do comic books innovate and improve reading habits for children, --do they lead to more enriching material?" I like the idea, but unfortunately, I cannot side with the idea that comic books improve the reading habits of children. The digital generation is upon us, and video is king. Comic books are not going to pull young readers into books without pictures, --they're just a cop-out for trying to get kids to read more. There are illustrated classics already in existence, --and as cool as it is that Marvel is converting classic literature into graphic novels, is it possible that instead of introducing classical literature, we're just introducing kids to comics?

New For 2013
The 2013 model year is a quiet one for the A3, which is no surprise as this model is about to go in for a redesign. Expect a new version for 2014, which will be available as a four-door sedan as well.
A premium-brand subcompact seemed strange when the Audi A3 first arrived in 2006, but the market seems to be coming around to the idea. Witness the Lexus CT200h, the Volvo C30, and now the Acura ILX and the Buick Verano. The reason for this trend is that there are enough places in the United States—in large cities, for instance—where space is at a premium and small but versatile cars make sense. Often, those urban buyers are wealthy enough to afford a luxury vehicle. Being an Audi, the A3 has its share of premium equipment such as standard leather, but it is based on the last-generation Volkswagen Golf, and that means it's getting on in years. That's evident in its packaging—interior room is at a premium—and in its fuel economy. There are plenty of bigger cars that get better gas mileage than the A3 with its 2.0T four-cylinder. The available TDI engine, however, needs no excuses. It hits 42 mpg on the highway and comes standard with Audi's benchmark dual-clutch automatic transmission. We think a torque-happy turbo-diesel is a much more pleasant way to break the 40-mpg barrier than in a breathless, underpowered hybrid. The only bummer is that, unlike the 2.0T, the diesel engine can't be had with a manual transmission, nor can it be combined with all-wheel drive.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; and traction and stability control are standard. Rear side air bags are optional.

You won't like:

Predictable Design
The $64,000 question in software industry today is:
How do you transform a software design process into its ideal form—an objective, deliberate activity that furthers the cause of commerce—from its typically subjective, clumsy one, which always seems at odds with the bottom line?
Its deceivingly simple answer requires that we overcome some elegant human imperfections. Ironically, the answer came to me from a subculture that has its roots deeply planted in the exploration of the human condition: rap.
Design's Got a Bad Rap
The early courtship process in a relationship is usually characterized by a healthy curiosity for each other's tastes: favorite restaurant, type of food, fit of jeans, color, movie, book, music, and so on. Music is always high on the list. If your experiences have been anything like mine, a conversation about musical preferences can get as contentious as a political or religious debate.
I was a bit of a music snob when my wife and I met. "After all," I would think to myself, "I've been playing the guitar for the better part of the last two decades; I must be a better judge of music than the everyday listener."
So, imagine my plight when my wife (girlfriend at the time) disclosed to me, very proudly and excitedly, that she was into hip-hop and pop, and looooooved Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Usher. My heart sank, but I was determined to "cure" her. No love of mine could enjoy to such heathen music.
"It's not real music," I explained. "It's exactly what's destroying this generation. I can't believe you would support such crap."
In her unwitting wisdom, she responded, "That's just one way to look at it. I just like the beats and melodies. It makes me want to dance. It's fun." Blasphemy. The woman I was intending to marry was trying to compromise my values for some… fun?!
The crux of her argument (which took me a good couple of years to accept after umpteen discussions) was that people listen to and select music in different ways. There is no right way to select music. In fact, you could argue that at a cognitive level, music selects us for varying reasons: we relate to the artist, the beat inspires us to dance, a particular melody reignites a fond memory, the song was recommended by someone we trust, and so on.
Subjectivity in musical taste tracks closely to our orientation toward design. And I mean "design" in the broad sense—inclusive of user experience, visual design, information architecture, and so on—even though it's going to peeve some of my peer "designers" in the software culture.
Is the Lemon Really Yellow?
Sensory experiences—in this context, experiences stimulated by objects or actions that have an inherent aesthetic quality such as music, art, or visual design—are truly subjective. What you sense when you see a color, for instance, can only be accurately described through your sensation of it. Every other account is an approximation at best. It's no wonder there is a massive body of literature on the topic of color, which has intrigued everyone from Aristotle to Faust's author, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Goethe was an influential, mid-18th century polymath: a person whose expertise spanned a variety of subjects such as poetry, drama, literature, science, and so on. Among other works, he produced an extensive study titled Zur Farbenlehre (Theory of Colours), in which he questioned Newton's application of the scientific method to color theory (pg xxxviii).
Physics alone, Goethe argued, couldn't sufficiently explain color. To truly understand color, one must look to its softer, cognitive, and often contradictory attributes. Unfortunately, these are not easily quantifiable; as a result, color remains an intriguing topic for exploration even today.
Betty Edwards' book Color: A Course in Mastering the Art of Mixing Colors presents a fitting and eloquent observation that affirms Goethe's hypothesis even today:
Fortunately, a scientific understanding of color theory is not a prerequisite for appreciating or applying color evocatively. One need look no further than the Kuler gallery to see evidence of this.
This is not to say that everyday color enthusiasts are experts at "painting pretty pixels." But it does suggest two things about the aesthetics of experience design: picking harmonious colors isn't a scientific exercise and, more importantly, certain individuals are more proficient at it than others.
It's Not Personal
Edwards also writes about how our sensations are influenced by cognitive bias. Various brain processes affect our ability to see what is actually there—that is, the true data reflected back to the retina—rather than what our preconceptions tell us we are seeing.
Take the phenomenon of size constancy, a neural process that jumbles perception by actually overriding the direct data hitting our retina, causing us to "see" images that fit our preexisting notions of the situation. This is the reason some of us "can't draw." Even though the retinal image of the chair is exactly as shown in the image on the left, our brains convince us to draw the right image because we know the relative dimensions of the chair.
Our personal conflicts with creative representations—whether music or the visual design of a Web page—are just that: personal. And, as size constancy illustrates, these conflicts are deceiving enough to pass undetected, despite their irrational origins. Of course, problems arise when we pretend that our personal and subjective sensations are objective.
The tendency to assume that our views correspond to reality has its benefits. Evolutionarily, it has helped us quickly interpret the world. We know, for example, that a silhouette of an elephant on the distant horizon is an elephant. But paradoxically, we find this very quality at the root of our disagreements about music and design.
Ultimately, it's this same predisposition that leads us to question our creative counterparts' aesthetic talents and irrationally promote our own views as fact.
In a sense, you could say that the brilliance of a good designer is not defined by her ability to represent the world as she sees it, but by her trained ability to represent it as others expect to see it.
Again, certain individuals are more proficient at it than others.
Is Design Subjective?
We've all heard that design is subjective and that "beauty lies in the eye of the beholder." Unfortunately, we often misinterpret these aphorisms and use them to rationalize why we don't like certain designs. When someone argues that our reasoning is faulty, it ruffles our feathers.
Another (redundant) way of putting the point is to say that design is subjective from the perspective of the subject (the beholder). From the perspective of the designer, however, design is as objective as anything else. A designer feels that his product is deterministic—no different from a line of code.
Good designers have an acute, trained, and almost instinctual ability to communicate with an audience through their products. Great designers are so objective that what they produce may not even remotely resemble their personal tastes and intuitions.
It's Time to Grow up
For a design process to produce an extraordinary product, two conditions must be met: stakeholders and participants must unequivocally accept that they aren't designers, and trust the real designers' abilities. This of course requires that the real designers are good at what they do. Bill Buxton provides a great template for identifying good designers.
Simple as this recipe seems, few get it right. Elaine Wherry of Meebo recently wrote a piece on why UX professionals are some of the most professionally unhappy folks she's encountered. Doug Bowman's legendary goodbye letter to Google tragically confirms some of her observations. Clearly, our industry is not there yet. But we must persevere, for the rewards are rich.
A good understanding of a designer's process naturally encourages other behaviors integral to designing good products. It allows clients to let designers do their work without telling them how to do it. It makes it easier for designers to measure their work objectively, not relative to their clients' personal (and often limited) understanding of the context. It improves how designers and other participants collaborate. It streamlines the design process with an undying focus on the customer experience. It frees up team members to focus on their core areas.
Ultimately, it is this simple recipe of acceptance that transforms a design process into its ideal form—an objective, deliberate activity that furthers the cause of commerce—from its typically subjective, clumsy one, which always seems at odds with the bottom line.
The Punch line
In the time it took me to write this piece, my iTunes cycled through a diverse collection of hip-hop and rap tunes. Next to me is a dusty stack of assorted classic rock, blues and jazz CDs, waiting to be ripped.
The irony of this picture is only underscored by a Jay-Z lyric that is unexplainably and almost mockingly real: "He who does not feel me is not real to me, therefore he does not exist. So, poof... vamoose, son of a b@#ch."
Add new comment
Great article, but I think the real moral to this story is: Wives & girlfriends will always win.
The entire notion of design being subjective makes my hair stand on end. Whenever I encounter allegations such as this I become belligerent to the point of wiseassery.
Except you're absolutely, 100% right. Subjectively.
So while I won't tolerate clients thinking they have to make everything I create fit their taste (a little education goes a long way here), I have to admit that who we are as people, maybe moreso than the physical attributes, determine our perception. Which also means that I still have a long way to go to find out more about what other people see. Which, ironically, is what drew me into the profession in the first place.
Kudos for giving Betty Edwards a shout-out. Her book "Drawing on the right side of the brain" may be the single greatest drawing lesson ever given.
Thank you for such an insightful article. I found so much truth in the bit about It's Not Personal and how it relates to web design. I'm sure from now on I'll have a voice in the back of my mind saying, It's not what you see but what's perceived.
The images of the chair perfectly illustrated that fact for me.
I have to say this was an extremely interesting read. I, like you, tried to "cure" my girlfriend of her musical shortcomings. I would make mix CD's for her with "real" music on it. When we would ride in the car together I made sure to bring my iPod, because as we all know there is NEVER any good music on the radio and I would die before I let that digitally enhanced baby food be spoon fed to me. It took me some time to realize the same principle you found to be true. However, my epiphany came after reading the book "This Is Your Brain On Music" by Dr.Daniel J. Levitin (www.yourbrainonmusic.com). It explains how our brains function when we hear music and different aural signals. Anyway, it really opened my mind and help me to understand her and how other senses can be different in any given person.
I often wonder if people see the same things as me. Is blue to me the same as blue to her? Or does she see yellow, but calls it blue because that's what she was taught? Wow, it can really mess with your head if you let it. Anyway, thanks for such an interesting read. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but perhaps differently than the previous reader...

Very good article. The part that stuck out to me most was the idea that a good designer produces what other people enjoy in an objective way, rather than producing what the designer enjoys in a subjective way.
I got my first taste of this when a group of us decided to design a blog a number of years back. We came up with a design, one that we thought was great, and then, on a whim, we decided to test it on some people sitting in the coffee shop we were meeting in.
The people we tried it on thought the design was "nice", but had more bad to say about it than good. The other members of the team were devastated, but for me it opened up my eyes. It was the first time I had been able to look at a design through other peoples eyes, and I was hooked.
Nice article, Jay-z is way deeper than most non-rap listeners care to accept. Its all about perception, glad your mind has been opened
I will add one point regarding Doug Bowman's letter. I really do think there is a positive shift occurring in the value development organizations assign to designers. While I understand Bowman's frustration with the desire for Google engineers to test "41 different shades of blue," I believe it should be tempered with an understanding that this is not always a terrible thing. After all, don't we believe usability testing is good because it provides insights into how users truly behave? Obviously, visual design / composition is influenced by more than simply a particular shade of blue; but as designers, we should be open to leveraging data in decisions. A positive development team is one where everyone is free to challenge the ideas and assumptions of anyone with the best ideas winning out.
what if your wife enjoys the Kardashians?
Great piece! Saving it for repeat reading at a later date.
Great article! I love how you mixed up philosophy into it. Design does need to be in tune with the content of a website, though - if you look at dubli you can see that the designer has gone to great pains to marry the two sides of this particular equation together.
