Specializing in relationship issues, reproductive psychology, and adoption for more than 20 years, I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts. I provide psychotherapy and consultation to individuals, couples, and families, many of whom are looking for more authentic relationships, based on trust. By providing a safe, respectful, and confidential space and time to connect I support people in finding their way through challenging situations. Many need help coping with the effects of trauma. Some have had serious challenges to a sense of security during their early development. All seek balance, a sense of peace, and confidence in themselves and in those who care for them. I offer pre-and post-adoption counseling for anyone touched by adoption: prospective and expectant parents, birthparents, adopted children and adults, adoptive parents; and I am available for consultation to professionals who serve them.

Brad Marchand 'questionable' vs. Thrashers
|12.22.10 at 12:48 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Brad Marchand was once again missing from the Bruins' practice at Ristuccia Arena on Wednesday. Following the skate, coach Claude Julien said the forward is "questionable" for Thursday night's tilt against the Thrashers at TD Garden.
Marchand has been out since leaving Saturday's game against the Capitals late in the second period. The team has not disclosed what the injury is, but Julien has said that it stemmed from a hit he took in that game. Daniel Paille has skated with the energy line in his absence.
In 31 games this season, Marchand has 12 points (4 G, 8 A) and a plus-5 rating. Three of his four goals have come on the penalty kill.

When two really good hearts join, there is no option but to have an amazing time! No doubt, Happy was happy and will be happy with Jamie forever!
Another marvelous job, your pictures really bring the moment to life…
Finally Married!
I met Rachel in Madrid, Spain. We were young bucks on our way to discover just exactly how the world was our oyster. Her blue eyes twinkled and her sassy outfit made me remember that day forever until we reunited many years later when Rachel discovered my wedding photography. It's amazing to see someone's creativity expressed on their wedding day. This culmination of recorded imprints from the things and art loved throughout one's life. This is when personalities get to shine, love and passion intertwine in creative embrace of friends and family. Here Rachel's and Justin's nostalgia for rustic beauty gave homage to tweeds and burlap mixed with dahlias while chiffon and silk accented with boots flashing back to the last century. This was no ordinary day, this was a completion of their family union. Their 20′s clad ring-bearing toddler, the ultimate symbol of their union, deepened the sentiment of the day. Tears dropped and caught in an eclectic array of hankies by finely fashioned friends who celebrated their bond. The sun danced through the trees and gleamed happily through wine glasses igniting toasts with a spell of love that infused even the evening after the candles ran out. Thank you Rachel and Justin for having me witness you and capture moments which I hope will remind you of the essence of that special day for many years to come. It was an honor and my immense pleasure.
I love weddings organized by Alex Quintana Events. And you can never go wrong with Jacuzzi Winery in stunning Sonoma County. But to have a fabulous couple to work with who are down to try it all during their post ceremony photoshoot is the icing on the cake that I live for. Thanks to Alison and Andrew for providing me with beautiful shots!

Kieran Richardson was full of praise for Fulham teammate Adel Taarabt in defeat to Manchester City.
Richardson's goal was created by Taarabt in the 4-2 loss.
"There's no denying about the boy's ability," said Richardson. "Everyone knows that. He can take on defenders, slip balls. That's what he's about.
"Like me, it was his first game back in a long while as well. A lot of people are hungry.
"Sitting on the sideline, you don't want to be there, you just want to be out on the pitch playing.
"It gets the fire back in your belly. Maybe that's happened to him and me. We come on the pitch and we want to stay there."

Nine members of the Hutaree Militia were indicted today in what federal authorities are describing as a plot to murder a law enforcement officer in Michigan and then attack other officials who gathered for the funeral. The five-count indictment followed a series of raids in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana over the weekend.
The Hutaree Militia first came to the attention of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in 2009, when researchers found the group's MySpace page. Two chapters of the militia, one in Michigan and one in Utah, were included on the SPLC's list of militia groups released earlier this month. The Utah chapter held at least one training in 2009.
The Hutaree Militia had close links to several other American militias, according to the group's MySpace profile. The profile, which carried the slogan "violence solves everything," shows that the group has 366 "friends." The militia's page was linked to dozens of other militias, including the Ohio Militia, the Michigan Militia Corps, the Kentucky State Militia, the Central Texas Militia and others. The indictment alleges that in February "several of the conspirators attempted to travel to Kentucky to attend a summit of militia groups."
The indictment charges the defendants with seditious conspiracy, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, teaching the use of explosive materials and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence.
The government alleges that members of the antigovernment Hutaree Militia, which is based in eastern Michigan's Lenawee County and has been conducting "military-style training" there since 2008, conspired to "levy war against the United States." According to the indictment, Hutaree members view local, state and federal law enforcement as an enemy "brotherhood" that they were preparing to engage in armed conflict.
Authorities said the Hutaree planned to kill an unidentified, local law enforcement official, then attack the funeral with improvised explosive devices and "explosively formed projectiles," which, according to the indictment, constitute weapons of mass destruction.
The indictment by a grand jury in Detroit covered charges that took place between August 2008 and today. The defendants are David Brian Stone, 45, and his wife, Tina Stone, 44, his son Joshua Matthew Stone, 21, of Clayton, Mich., and his other son David Brian Stone Jr., 19, of Adrian, Mich. Also arrested in Michigan and indicted were Joshua Clough, 28, of Blissfield and Michael Meeks, 40 of Manchester. In Indiana, Thomas Piatek, 46, of Whiting was arrested. In Ohio, Kristopher Sickles, 27, of Sandusky and Jacob Ward, 33, of Huron were arrested.
The arrests again show the growing danger from America's radical right, where a pervasive rage against the government has become red hot. In a report released in March, "Rage on the Right," the SPLC documented 512 antigovernment "Patriot" groups, which include armed militias, operating by the end of 2009. That represents a 244 percent increase over the previous year's count of 149. The number of militia groups rose from 42 in 2008 to 127 in 2009.
The SPLC documented a total of 75 domestic terrorism plots between the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 and 2009. The majority of those plots were concocted by individuals with extreme antigovernment views.

Texas BASS Federation Nation has a busy Weekend
In this edition of 'Ask the B.A.S.S. Biologist,' Chris Horton answers viewer questions about conservation projects and competing species of fish in small bodies of water.
Bradley Roy talks about attending his first ever ICAST convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I have a new tactic for you — one I'm pretty sure you've never used and maybe even one you've never thought of. It starts with a big spinnerbait, which most smallmouth anglers don't consider for their summertime fishing.
As good as today's bass boat electronics are, mapping chips make them even better.
Every time you go fishing, you have a story of a huge one that got away. You remember those stories just as much as you remember the 9-pounder you caught.
Denny Brauer gives tips on flipping and pitching.
I think the bass bite is best when the current first arrives in an area. Any time you fish ledges or drops, look for those areas with features that differ from the norm.
Dawn was just starting to sneak up on New York's Keuka Lake as I stood on the large dock at the Snug Harbor Inn, waiting for my fishing guide.

Re: HMS Bounty in trouble...
I see no harm in the sailors here who have gone on long offshore/ocean passages and faced departure and routing decisions discussing the evidence, options available to the vessels skipper, and then providing their opinions regarding the Bounty captain's decisions on departure and the track chosen. Such discussions help us all learn from each other's experinece and knowledge.Billyruffin
Thank you for the thought provoking post. I have great respect for your experience and read your posts always. You manage to present your opinion which is well thought out, but also not accusatory. I couldnt agree with you more about the track he took,as well as the consequences of taking that track. Having done both Gone outside the GS ( both south and north and sailed closer through/ around Diamond Shoals, I have
advocated in many other SailNet threads what I perceived as the dangers of the inside route and for me personally, I avoid it and have not gone on vessels anymore with captains who chose the route.
]I see no harm in the sailors here who have gone on long offshore/ocean passages and faced departure and routing decisions discussing the evidence, options available to the vessels skipper
You will find on very few of the posters have this experience, but many have offered opinions or accusations and they did so without hesitatuion or hardly any information at all
My biggest problem with the postings are the
rush to
to afix blame on the captain entirely, and then the glee to assassinate his character. This isnt done by a group of savy well experienced ocean and blue water sailors ( my apologies to the few who have this experience) but is being done by the armchair quarterbacks who start analyzing the situations as soon as the story comes apparent. It leads to this feeding frenzy which can prevent them from looking and absorbing other details as wells as focusing on unimportant snippets of u tube postings as the paramount reasoning. Its like its a story of thodse damn shows following network news at 7 PM. The SN jury has already found the captain guilty as charged and not even waited for any evidence of the companies pressure or involvement, statements from the survivors. or atatements from professionals.
As this continues to play out with more and more information a clearer picture will take place. Already we have some CG reports and some people on a CG blog which I have seen are less vitriolic and hype minded than the posts on SN. There are key pieces of information I would like to see before I damn the Captain in hell like most of the SN posters. ( Funny many of the interviews I have seen with the Captains professional aquaitences do not paint a picture of a reckless man), I would like some eye witness testimony or statements ( what happened on boartd, sea state, how she got in trouble other than what we can see on GPS position fixing and storm histroy, I would like a professional report concerning the condition of the ship before it left ( not speculation reposrts of cousins whoi visited the ship once or saw it, but people who recently refit it and worked on it, I would like to know what role the company played in coercing or pressuring the captain to leave the dock in the first place.
None of us know for certain that this storm and waves were the only things directly responsible for its sinking. Which one of you know for a certain that there was no failure of the bulkheads/ structure on the ship which could have happened on the very next
passage, heavy weather or not. How do you know there was not a material defect in the refit, wrong materials used, designs not followed?
I have my initial opinions of what has happened here. I question mightily him leaving and sailing into this particular enlarging storm with any ship let alone the one he had. I question like you trying to squeeze between a storm and the "Graveyard of the Atlantic. I also question why....why a man with good credentials and experience0 ( better than almost everyone on here casting judgement) would make this decision. Maybe then that gets answered we will find the real culpruit in this is just not him and that someone may be hiding behind the screen or that someone was negligent in the repair of the ship.
Ultimately he will be held with some of the responsibility because he was the captain of the ship. I am pretty sure of that.
When a plane crashes in bad weather do you think immediately that the captain was responsible and get on the internet blaming him/ her. If you saw him drinking with dinner two nights before...do you assume he/ she was a drunk and that caused it? Do you blame it on the heavy weather? The route he took...he could of flown around it or landed somewhere else. See in this instance...very similar to this incident there is a very detailed investigation and NO ONE declares after 1-4 days after the event happend that it was the captains fault. Here however those rules dont apply. Thats what I have a problem with

Exit pupil
(Science: microscopy) The exit pupil of a lens system is an image of the entrance pupil (hence conjugate to it) and normally should be the image of the limiting diaphragm. In both the microscope and the telescope it is the eyepoint where the beam has its smallest cross-section. It is also called the ramsden circle or eyepoint.

Most pain free way to host a phpbb on my iMac running Tiger? I need help with mySQL!
Basically, I want to set up a phpBB test forum to run on my own iMac as a test for modifications and updates for my live forums (Link 1 and Link 2.
Now, I had a system set up on my old iBook (Which was running 10.3), and it took me practically a whole weekend to get setup, and I still don't know how I did it, plus I had no idea how to insert my database that was online into my local one for further testing.
So basically, I figure I need these:
Personal Web sharing set up and on
php4 running
A connectable mySQL server running on my machine.
An install of phpBB in my PWS folder
Now, SQL is a strange and mystifying technology to me. I am not hugely familiar with it beyond using it to dump SQL data backups from the forum and running the odd SQL command via phpMyAdmin to enhance the DB for modding purposes.
I seem to have 1,2 and 4 done okay. The forum software itself appears to be working from my web browser. However, I honestly have no idea how to get 3 done properly or how to get my phpbb to connect to it (despite that the SQL Panel in System Prefs tells me that it's running. I installed the 4.1 mySQL binary for Intel off the official MySQL site...
So how exactly do I set up mySQL so I can connect to it from my locally hosted phpBB install, as well as inserting all the data from my forum online? Step by step instructions if you can.
Or, if anyone has a tried and tested simple way to set it up, feel free to tell me.
Thanks for any and all help.

mysql (http://www.mysql.org) provides a package for OS X, which I believe includes the server, as well as a System prefs pane to start/stop it. The documentation is pretty straightforward as to get it up and running as well.

running phpbb on anything is painful, try a different forum software.
If I go on a crazy non-sensical rant, it's the painkillers talking. If however I make perfect sense I take full credit.

There are almost always published standing bugs that "A remote attacker could gain administrative access to the bulletin board, read or delete arbitrary files on the server, or conduct cross-site scripting, SQL injection, or PHP injection attacks."
Currently this is the case (published bugs that allow people to take over your server). And if you are a couple updates behind things just get worse.

@Everyone else.
The reason I use phpbb? Well, it's pretty simple. When I founded warsworldnews, I didn't have enough money to get a VBulletin or an Invision Power Board. Simple Machines forums at the time were probably still a pipe dream. I was well aware of the risks when I installed it, but to date, the only problems I've had are spambot issues. I make local backups bi-weekly and my host backs up the SQL database daily.
Plus it currently integrates with the Mediawiki system we're intending to set up. Not to mention it was incredibly easy to mod the forum to remove all trace of post counts from the community (Communities I run have absolutely no post counts. They're just a source of drama and ego and no community needs them).
And with a setup on my local machine, It means I can test setting up, altering and administering other forum types before I mess with the live forums. Not to mention I can modify my current install and test the results.

God is coming to Chief Logan State Park! The Aracoma Story, Inc., will present Children of Eden June 17th through July 6th in the beautiful Liz Spurlock Ampitheater. The musical is based on the first nine Books of Genesis contained within The Holy Bible.
It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as Music Director for this wonderful show. I was a young teacher in my twenties when I first participated in a TAS summer season. Liz Spurlock graciously brought me into the fold and I learned all aspects of theater production. Little did I know that I would later devote a large portion of my career to teaching theater performance and appreciation at the public school level.
The lessons I learned from TAS served me well. So many Logan Countians have benefited from participating in and attending TAS productions for nearly forty years. Indeed, many have gone on to make theater a lifelong pursuit. The Aracoma Story, Inc. is truly the foundation of the performance arts in Southern West Virginia.
The cast is broad, ranging from young children to seasoned veterans. It is particularly gratifying to see so many new young faces, undoubtedly a result of the strong vocal music and theater programs within Logan County Schools and the Appalachian Children's Chorus Cantare. It is indeed exciting to see these as well as new, fledgling community theater programs active in the coalfields. I want to sincerely thank The Aracoma Story, Inc. Board of Directors for this incredible opportunity. Indeed, everyone active in Logan County performance arts should take a moment to thank TAS for we ALL got our start there.

Here the seats are in with the roadster top on it (going with the white walls)
I cant get the lighting right, but I can assure you the red is not nearly as eye burning as it looks.
Front and rear seats done
Center console and dash painted with some trim applied
And then the door panels
MANY of the spots that look like they have chrome spilled on them are just shine spots from the lighting. this has been one of my best so far (which may or may not being saying much)
Ive got alot of the suspension currently drying in gloss black. The under carriage is flat black and drying as well. I should have the tub more or less assembled this evening

With the city's traffic increasing by the day, more people end up violating the laws, making it even more difficult for the cops to manage the traffic situation. This hampers overall policing efforts and may also be life-endangering. For instance, when a car jumps a red signal, there are higher chances that it may crash into another vehicle.
In an attempt to tackle such issues, Dr. BK Upadhyay, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic), has chalked out various campaigns. The man in command says, "Currently, we have launched Operation Eagle all over the city to tackle four major traffic violations. This includes car stopping ahead of the stop line, jumping red signals, motorists not wearing helmets and vehicles driving on the wrong side of the road."
In the last 20 days, under this operation, the Mumbai police has charged around 51,000 people against these violations and have collected a whooping Rs45 lakh as fine. Another initiative includes booking unruly motorists who access the flyovers where two-wheelers are banned.
Dr. Upadhyay adds, "Over-speeding is a major traffic violation on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, so we deployed teams to keep a watch in this area. Another aspect to better the traffic policing in the city is to boost the morale of the traffic cops. These police officials spend long hours standing under the sun and till late nights, and this directly affects their health. Hence, we launched Susamvad, an initiative where we talk to these cops and understand the ground problems for traffic handling. This gives them a chance to address their day-to-day issues."
Dr. Upadhyay informed us that yoga sessions are conducted to counter the health risks and inculcate discipline in the cops. Every month, a 'traffic cop of the month' is selected and felicitated with a cash reward and certificate. This is an assurance that the traffic management work is being appreciated.

CIMA and an entrepreneur answer your questions.
Max is better placed to argue the merits of PR versus advertising, so I'll leave that to him and jump in regarding how we measure effectiveness.
A company undertakes PR or advertising expecting it to contribute to a business objective, e.g. increasing penetration, market share or sales. So management accountants, PR professionals and marketers have this in common - we're all involved and interested in measuring the effectiveness of such expenditure.
However, it's easier (although still challenging) for us to help marketing assess the effectiveness of advertising as this controls when and how messages are conveyed. It's harder to predict how and when PR messages are picked up and disseminated, and more difficult to identify (let alone measure) outputs and evaluate their impact. For this reason I wouldn't suggest trying to directly measure the impact of PR on sales, but on specific metrics, such as customer perception of brand, then evaluate how that relates to buying intentions.
An organisation could measure PR by AVE (advertising value equivalency), by the number of white papers it publishes, speaking engagements undertaken by its senior management, how often its spokespeople are quoted, or if it is invited to sit on industry bodies or committees. It could evaluate PR by appraisingevents, analysing feedback or assessing how the CFO or CEO handled analysts' briefings or press conferences. Not all these will be relevant to all organisations - that's the point. An organisation should know what it wants to achieve before it can specify what it should measure.
PR professionals aren't fluffy creatives, they' rebusiness focused. And management accountants aren't dry analysts, but are used to dealing with non-financial information and designing their own solutions.
Louise Ross, CIMA technical expert.
A. Max
PR absolutely can replace display advertising, particularly in the current climate - because a good PR campaign can and will achieve as great an impact as an advertising campaign that costs ten times as much.
Pimlico Plumbers is a good example. The business isn't very sexy or glamorous. Yet Pimlico Plumbers has achieved incredible growth, all through PR. It has got coverage everywhere. To get the same awareness through advertising would require ten times the budget.
If you think that you need a charismatic chief executive to pull off PR, you are wrong. At Pimlico Plumbers, boss Charlie Mullins is great with the media, but that is the result of coaching and training. It was exactly the same with Simon Cowell. In the early days Simon came to me and had no experience of television. He needed coaching. With a little help from me he's built up a [pounds sterling]300m empire worldwide. Anyone can be taught.
And in every firm there are personalities. I've just taken on a pawnbroker from the Midlands called Uncles. No stars there. It's just a family firm with three branches. I put them in touch with the BBC and next, spring there is a six-part series at prime time on BBC1 about the business. That has got to be worth millions.
PR is more valuable than display ads, because editorial is more credible and influential. We normally calculate the cost it would take to achieve the same coverage with advertising, and then double or treble it.
In my view, any business is suitable for PR. You just need creativity and vision to create a story.

All smiles: Obama greeting the participants at the YSEALI townhall session. — Bernama
KUALA LUMPUR: Meeting a select group of young leaders from Asean, US President Barack Obama inspired them with his experiences and told them to make an impact on the world.
"When I think back on my journey, the most important thing for me and to most young people here is to realise that you really can have an impact on the world.
"You can achieve your dreams but in order to do so, you have to focus not so much on titles or how much money you are going to make.
"You have to focus more on what kind of influence and impact you can have on other people's lives ... what good you can do,'' he told them in a 90-minute townhall address at Universiti Malaya yesterday.
The 103 participants representing the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) were joined by 300 others at the meeting, the first such held for the President's four-nation tour.
Twenty of the workshop participants were from Malaysia, with some as young as 18.
Obama took questions from the group as well as from the social media by those who posted questions via the United States Embassy in Kuala Lumpur's Facebook page and twitter.
The 44th President of the United States said he was excited to hear what the youth had to say and infected by their energy and optimism.
"I firmly believe you will make the future of your countries and of the region. The relationship between nations does not rest upon governments, it rests upon people, especially the young who will be the future," the President said as he drove across his message.
Touching on the Malaysia Boleh spirit, Obama said urged Malaysian youth to carry that spirit forward.
"We have a similar saying in America, which is 'Yes We Can'. That is the spirit I hope America and all South-East nations can work together in but it is going to depend on your generation to carry it forward.
The YSEALI is a brainchild of Obama to build relationships across South-East Asia through the engagement of young people.
Asked by a Myanmar participant about democratic process, Obama said all must be treated equally based on rule of law and and and principles of justice and not based on race or religion
Rights of the minorities including in countries such as Myanmar and Malaysia, he said, should be protected.
"Malaysia is a majority Muslim country. There are times where those who are non-Muslims find themselves perhaps being disadvantaged or experiencing hostility. No country is going to succeed if part of its population is put on the sidelines or discriminated against. Treat people the way you want to be treated."

Good News for the World's Smallest Porpoise
Posted On March 9, 2015 by George Leonard
Good news for vaquitas this week! The Mexican government will ban the use of gillnets in the Gulf of California, the only place vaquitas call home, for the next two years. This is a much-needed protection for the critically endangered vaquita. In fact, there are less than 100 left in the world.
This is a vital first step in rebuilding the population of the world's smallest porpoise. Vaquitas are often caught as bycatch in gillnets, which ensnare and kill them.

Letters to the Editor: 01.23.09
Shameful act
At the inauguration, Democrats derisively sang the "sha na na, goodbye" song to President Bush. This was a classless, shameless, vapid act performed by members of the Democratic Party. The act belittled President Bush, the office of the president, and America before the world's media and diplomatic corps.
Democrats should be ashamed. Each and every one of our locally elected Democratic officials should personally appear on television or take out a personal advertisement in the press and apologize to their constituents, the people of Texas, and the American people for this shameful act, unless of course, they agree with the classless, shameless, vapid act.
Jeanne O'Donnell
Working hard
Ref: Frank J. Adams' letter ("Work to eat," Jan. 19). Excuse me, but for the record not every welfare recipient is a deadbeat looking for a handout.
Sure, people take advantage, but where did the notion come that every recipient sits on his or her bottom all day? I have been a recipient off and on for 15 years, but, guess what, I had a job, sometimes two, to support me and the kids. And, furthermore, we also pay Social Security and Medicare from our checks, which I will probably never see.
Denise Anderson
Tax hypocrisy
Every taxpayer in America should be comforted to know that the two highest ranking and most influential political officials who will be in charge of tax policies are themselves out of compliance with the IRS.
Charles Rangel, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, and new Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner appear to be very casual about not paying their fair share of taxes. Based on their attitudes and their claims of ignorance in matters of "taxable income," are we to believe that these two Washington insiders are going to cure the ills of our economy and lead us to the Promised Land?
What do you think would happen if we, the little people, didn't comply with tax laws? So much for the era of change and hope.
Yolanda Boyd
Unfair to council
The editorial that addressed the teen pregnancy problem was unfair in degrading the City Council for voting against Planned Parenthood's grant for communities in schools.
The CCISD policy on sex education is to have only one of abstinence. Planned Parenthood went to my daughter's biology class once a month to teach safe sex and sex education. This is a contradiction to the school policy and of Planned Parenthood to teach that sex can be safe when STD is at its highest rate to date.
The news media portray the problem as a teen problem when in reality it is not. Report the whole truth of the problem of young adult men getting underage female teenagers pregnant. It is really a young adult male problem.
It is our responsibility to help our youth to envision a future through the possibilities of vocational, mentoring and programs that promote the best possible version of themselves for their future contribution in society.
Tess Gilbert Kelley
Remember DDT?
When I was a child, a spray truck would come down the street and I would smell the comforting scent of DDT. Comforting? Yes, it meant the mosquitoes would quit chewing their way through window screens. Little did I know that it was killing the brown pelicans and the bald eagles. We all know better now.
Today, no one would think about poisoning our world like that, would they? Yes. Corpus Christi is being offered the opportunity to put mercury into the air and water at an astounding rate. We are being offered the opportunity to put sulfur into our air at amazing levels. No one has even complained about the rate of particulate matter (soot) that would go into our lungs. There are those who think this is an acceptable price to pay for a few jobs. Not so.
It has taken 50 years to come back from DDT so we can once again admire the brown pelicans diving in our bay. Are we ready to kill them off again? We all have grown up enough to realize our actions have long term consequences.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
From the Publisher"This book is the gold standard; it exhaustively and encyclopedically covers diagnostic ultrasound…All departments of radiology must obtain a copy for their libraries. Radiology residents must have access to this book during their training…Practicing radiologists with an interest in ultrasound should buy this book for reference and read it for continuing education." - AJR, review of the third edition
"This is an excellent reference that, despite its size, sitsw mnore often on my desk than in the book case, and I would recommend it to any ultrasound department. It comprehensively covers the bread-and-butter topics of general and obstetric ultrasound and would be a sound purchase for any radiologist or sonographer working in isolation"

Hello, Jerry: Seinfeld comes to Coastal Bend
CORPUS CHRISTI - For many, it's the lasting image he gave them: The man, sitting unfazed in a jail cell, chatting away the first moments of the first day of the one-year prison sentence he is sharing with his three best friends.
As they prattle about phone calls and shirt buttons ("The second button is the key button. It literally makes or breaks the shirt"), the camera slowly pans away and fades out, sending Jerry Seinfeld into television's past tense.
It was May 14, 1998, and 76 million viewers watched the final episode of Seinfeld, the "show about nothing" that by the end of its nine-year, 180-episode run had become a commercial blockbuster and cultural phenomenon, while making its eponymous creator the richest comedian in show business.
The series turned made-up words into household terms and made catchphrases out of others. Festivus poles are available on the Internet for $39 and the Puffy Shirt is now in the Smithsonian. (Not that there's anything wrong with that).
But while his three co-stars went immediately into other ill-fated sitcoms, Jerry Seinfeld returned to his first love, developing a stand-up routine and touring small venues across the country. His HBO special, "I'm Telling You for the Last Time," aired within three months of the Seinfeld series finale.
Now Seinfeld, 56, visits Corpus Christi for a night of stand-up comedy, Thursday at the American Bank Center Selena Auditorium.
"I was really out to create the best experience for the audience and for me," he told GQ magazine last year after planning the tour and choosing its smaller venues. "The best experience is for me to go to the city, for you to buy the ticket and for us to meet in this little place. Then you have something that you remember."
The tour crosses the Atlantic in June for shows in London, Oslo, Copenhagen and Stockholm.
In addition to his tour schedule, Seinfeld is an executive producer of NBC's reality show "The Marriage Ref," which premiered in February 2010. He also is directing a Broadway show with comedian Colin Quinn called "Long Story Short," which covers 2,000 years of world history in 75 minutes.
Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica, have penned best-sellers — his "Seinlanguage" in 1993 and her "Deceptively Delicious" children's cookbook in 2007. The pair bore three children in the past decade, giving the comedian a new well to tap for the observational humor he has made his trademark.
"I am lucky at this point that I have something I really love to do and it completely holds my attention," Seinfeld said. "I never feel frustrated by it. It's difficult but in a good way. So it's not like I'm out searching for something to do — if I was, I think the odds of me doing something bad would go up."
What: Jerry Seinfeld Live in Concert
Where: American Bank Center Selena Auditorium
When: 7 p.m. Thursday
Cost: $45 to $75
Ticket info: American Bank Center box office, Ticketmaster outlets, online at www.ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-745-3000
'Seinfeld' trivia
'Seinfeld' ran from 1990-98 and featured 180 episodes. The show was created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, and featured characters modeled after their real-life acquaintances.
- The original script was called "Stand Up." It was to be a 90-minute mockumentary about how a stand-up comedian writes jokes based on his everyday life. It was to air in place of "Saturday Night Live" (1975) one night. NBC liked the script so much it decided to develop it into a pilot instead.
- Michael Richards always wore clothes one size too big to make Kramer appear to be laid back and loose.
- The costume department always fitted Jason Alexander (George) with an outfit that was one size too small. This was done to make him look uncool.
- Jerry is the only character to appear in every episode. Elaine does not appear in "The Seinfeld Chronicles" and "The Trip (Parts 1 and 2)", Kramer does not appear in "The Chinese Restaurant" and "The Pen," and George does not appear in "The Pen."
- In the first episode, the first conversation was between George and Jerry about a button. In the last episode, when they were sitting in jail, the last conversation they had was the same thing about the button.

It's raining sexy amateur honeys here on WatchMyGF.com. We got an entire load of pictures with wild punk girlfriends in them and all of them are hot as hell. They're no ordinary teens who like to show off their tight bodies, but they're alternative hotties who are like double the hotness, if you ask me. What's typical tho with these GFs are their passion for taking selfies. Non-stop camwhoring wherever and whenever but never fail to show their assets.
Just like these hot photos of sexy teens who like to expose their tight bodies and oh, man, those yummy cleavage. Can clearly see rammin' my stiff dick in between those meaty round tits and let the bitch suck it in the process. I know these amateur skanks know how to work a cock when a man is sitting right on their juicy juggs. Their hands, tongue, and mouth work hand in hand perfectly. Yes, I can easily fantasize about them that way by just looking at these amateur pictures.
They tease and beg for some kinky lovin' and it shows clearly in all these photos. I wonder how nice those firm round titties would feel around my lips, being so supple and fresh. They're not as big as most of you may want them to be but these are tight teens with bodies like velcro that you'd need extra effort pushing yourself in to take 'em tension apart. And trust me, once you're inside these horny Watch My GF bitches, maybe inside their twat or ass or between their breasts, there's no stopping from exploding loads and making them suck you dry. Go ahead and enjoy these wild chicks and get more hot babes the next time you visit our site.

First there was Miley Cyrus . Then Selena Gomez . Now, it seems 16-year-old Nick Jonas has found a new lady friend in 17-year-old Disney singer, Jordan Pruitt.
According to online reports, Nick and Jordan were hanging out a lot on the set of Nick's new TV show, "JONAS." The pair met a while back when Jordan was the opening act on one of JoBros' tours. Recently, though, their friendship has reportedly taken a romantic turn, as the two have started dating. When "JONAS" finished shooting recently, Jordan attended the wrap party for the show.
"They are very cute together, and Jordan made many stops to Nick's trailer during the filming of the show. They began dating two months ago and Nick is constantly sending her text messages," a source tells BettyConfidential.com. "They have quite a cute young relationship, not too serious, and she gets along great with Joe and Kevin. They have been friends for years, so it is a very comfortable relationship."
(Check out photos of Jordan Pruitt on the "Jonas Brothers 3-D Concert Experience" red carpet.)
The source added that Jordan and Nick's budding relationship had nothing to do with his breakup with Gomez. "Definitely not! Nick and Selena ended as great friends."
Earlier this month, [url id="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2009/03/04/nick-jonas-may-be-tainted-but-miley-still-likes-him/"]Emma Roberts talked about Nick's storied dating history[/url], noting that it changed the way she felt about him. "I used to have a crush on Nick, but he's kind of making his rounds in Hollywood," she told TeenVogue.com. "And I don't know if I like that."

OK, not really, but effectively.
Bear with me here: Early-bird mail ballots accounted for 42 percent of all the votes that came in for the June primary election. They made up 30 percent of Tuesday's election.
These votes were tallied and posted one minute after the polls closed. Statistically, at that moment, many trailing candidates and ballot measures had no chance of catching up over the evening.
(Precinct votes get counted into the morning and added in bunches to the tally. And provisional ballots and the many mail-in ballots that arrive on Election Day get counted in the four weeks that officials have to certify results.)
Take it from respected San Diego pollster John Nienstedt: 90 percent of races change less than 2.5 percent "from initial post to final bell."
Sure, there's always the possibility that a media outlet will declare "Dewey defeats Truman" and some races will remain too close to call for days. But my half-serious logic holds — early votes may be decisive votes — and that will only increase as more people vote by mail.
If more people do.
At the polls, several residents said they probably won't switch because they tend to procrastinate or prefer to follow elections to the end or feel safer slipping their votes into a ballot box than a mailbox. Most cited civic duty.
"We've always called it a freedom march," said Kim Aubry, 64.
"We can get so many things easily delivered," added Andy Scriminger, 37. "Voting is not one of those things. Voting is one … where I draw the line. It's like, OK, convenience? No. It's the fundamental principle of why this country was founded, so, yeah, I'm going to do it in person."
A number of absentee voters even told me they had marked their mail-in ballots at home but cast their votes in person on Election Day.
If the tide is turning, the county's 6,300 poll workers and 1,346 polling locations still serve a purpose: They're bastions of stick-to-itiveness.
Ultimately, what matters most is not how we vote but that we do. And maybe that the registrar distributes stickers with mail-in ballots.

Thanks to Pedro Osorio for the wonderful trip through Lisboa. He was the best guide one can get and we loved at the end of the trip the city, the people and the local food as much as he does. Absolutely perfect!
Mrs. Juliane S.

Fantastic opportunity to experience Lisbon with a local, and to see things that tourists would not usually see. Enjoyed the food tastings, and Our guide Ines was great.
Mr. Anthony N.

Fantastic day, Sophia was a knowledgeable guide, we had a small group and the pace was easy and enjoyable.
Mrs. Barbara S.

Our tour guide (andreia) was awesome in that she knew so much about the culture and could answer any question we threw at her! I think that it should ot be advertised as a 4 hr tour, but more like a 5 hr one, so that people know to really block off their whole day for it, as ours went until about 4:30 pm
Mr. stephen z.

Martha's knowledge and love for her city really came through
Mr. Colin W.
New Zealand ~ 21 Jun 2014[back to top]
Margarita took us on a lovely tour taking in all the sights as promised. In particular we loved going off the beaten track to explore the less touristy areas. The cakes, coffee, cheese etc tastings were all very yummy and the prawns and fish cakes at the end of the tour were fresh typical fare. We can highly recommend this tour for seeing more of how the locals live and Margarita was full of knowledge when we wanted to know more about anything we saw. She also sent us off at the end of the tour with suggestions of other places to see. Very good value for money
Ms. Jane D.

It was better than our expectations. Had a wonderful day and picked up lots of tips, and tasted some lovely food and drinks.
Mr. Christopher R.

A very good tour from Andreia, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, worth the money, thankyou.
Mrs. Patricia L.
USA ~ 18 May 2014[back to top]
We loved every part of the tour, it took us into area's we had not seen before and this was our third visit to Lisbon. Margarita was a delight to spend the time with, informative without being too "know it all" as some tour guides can be and she was extremely friendly. Have already recommended the tour to others and obviously Urban Adventures we check out now where ever we visit. Thanks, great job.

Our Half day with Paulo was fantastic it opened our eyes to Portuguese culture we would not have seen otherwise.
Mr. Barry D.

We had 12 in our party and Paulo, our guide, did a great job keeping us informed with interesting information and anecdotes throughout our tour. I would happily recommend this tour.

A memorable and enjoyable tour.Our guide Paulo was excellent.Nothing was too much trouble.
Mr. Martin H.
Australia ~ 16 Feb 2014[back to top]
"Experience Lisbon Walk" was great! Paulo was very knowledgeable and adjusted to the interests of all of us on the tour. He had great stories and clear explanations of the history and culture of not just Lisbon but also the neighborhoods we were in. His way of interacting with the residents and proprietors, and getting us involved, was particularly enjoyable. The pace was very good and I think we saw far more than what was supposed to be on the tour. Paulo certainly took advantage of the unexpected opportunities – without getting us in trouble.
Ms. Susan C.
United Kingdom ~ 05 Aug 2013[back to top]
Sofia was a knowledgable and enthusiastic guide who interacted with all of us in a most personable way. Would highly recommend this tour.

Dommage que je ne parle pas suffisamment l'anglais, mais c'était une matinée trés intéressante
Mr. Glen B.
Australia ~ 04 Feb 2013[back to top]
This tour was simply off-the-scale. It's difficult to express quite how exceptional Paolo was. His intention from the start was to give those following the tour a true Lisboner's view of their city and he didn't seem to leave anything about its history, culture, food, drink, architecture and current affairs out of the picture. A real privilege to have his company on this superb tour and to see a professional at work!
You could easily charge four times the amount for this tour (in London or New York people do, but for poorer equivalents....)
Please pass on my compliments once again.
Best regards
Mr. Karl z.

An excellent experience with a very lively tour guide. With great pleasure, we would do this again.

Nous avons pris deux "Tours" avec Urban Adventures à Lisbonne. Il faudrait peut-être éviter qu'on nous montre parfois les mêmes choses, les 2 fois, ce qui a été le cas au début. Heureusement la suite était différente et nous sommes très satisfaits de cs 2 visites.
Ms. Taylor E.
USA ~ 24 Sep 2012[back to top]
Pedro was our guide for the Experience Lisbon tour, and he could not have been more helpful, friendly, informative, or generally great. My friend and I were the only two people on the tour, which allowed us to get a much more in-depth understanding of Lisbon's history and the way that people now live in Lisbon. Pedro was more than willing to answer the (many!) questions we had. Our tour wound up taking much longer than the allotted 4 hours, and my friend and I were so appreciative of the fact that Pedro spent more time with us. We loved all of the food tastings, and because we were especially interested in learning more about Portuguese wines, Pedro gave us a very helpful and interesting explanation that he otherwise would not have devoted time to. By the end of the tour, we felt as though we had spent an enjoyable afternoon with a friend rather than a few hours with a city tour guide. Truly excellent experience!
Mr. Robert B.

Took your Lisbon Walking tour with Paulo.
Fantastic, lots of information imparted in a most enjoyable way, plenty of walking, make sure you wear good shoes.
Tried a few Portuguese specialities most enjoyable.
Tour started at 10:30 and full on til about 4:30, much more than expected.
Thanks again Paulo, you are the best
Mr. Patrick R.
USA ~ 27 Apr 2012[back to top]
all aspects of the experience Lisbon tour were top rate. a wonderful guide (Ines Soares) full of interesting stories who also had a flair for taking us to great out of the way locations made the tour one of the highlights of the trip.
Mr. c s.
Netherlands ~ 02 Mar 2012[back to top]
A tour where you can find all the places you wish you had stumbled on. The guide, Paulo, was very knowledgeable about history and culture and took me to some great places.
This was an outstanding tour and great way to experience Lisbon.
Mr. Charlotte S.
New Zealand ~ 07 Jan 2012[back to top]
My husband and I did the walking tour of Lisbon and surrounding area. We both found it to be a very worthwhile experience. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 people on the tour for the day so we felt we got a very personalized service from Pedro our guide for the day. The information we learnt along the way was very interesting and it gave a special insight into the history of Portugal and especially Lisbon as it is today. We would both definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about Portuagal and taste some great food & wine!
Mr. Harmke K.
Netherlands ~ 06 Dec 2011[back to top]
It was quitte enjoyable and a great way to explore the city. You notice things that you wouldn't have noticed by yourself so easily. For example: the black and white stones in the street often have the shape of the building in front of them.

At Urban Adventures, we firmly believe local travel is one of the best ways we can support responsible tourism. In fact, we believe it so strongly that we've made it our entire business! All our tours are run by local experts, not some faceless corporate team located halfway around the world with no sense of the local vibe.
We craft our tours to ensure every traveller has authentic interactions with local people, businesses, transportation, and food and drink. Local travel gives you the opportunity to experience a destination as locals do, and has the potential to impact you in ways you never imagined. In short: local is awesome.
As a responsible travel company, we promise to:
- Use locally owned infrastructure on our tours whenever possible.
- Spread the financial benefits amongst local people and operators.
- Provide employment and leadership opportunities for local people.
- Respect local customs and culture.
- Provide safe tours for Urban Adventure partners, staff, and travellers.
- Educate travellers and our partners about how and why we choose to travel this way.
- Limit any negative impact to the daily lifestyles of local people.
- Limit any physical impact on natural and cultural environments.
- Provide support to organisations and local communities.
- Provide opportunities for travellers to interact with local people.
- Actively ban partners, staff, and passenger participation in or endorsement of commercial sexual activities or illegal drug use on Urban Adventures tours.
- Work to prevent the exploitation of children in tourism.
- Actively discourage participation in activities that exploit animals.
- Use local partners that adhere to Urban Adventures' responsible travel principles.
- Support and encourage fair employment practices.
- Give our travellers the best possible value.
- Have fun!
As a traveller, we ask that you keep the following in mind:
- People: Be mindful of the local citizens, and seek understanding through shared experiences. Consider their customs and values while in their homeland, and when in doubt, ask your guide for advice.
- Environment: Be mindful of the local environment, and act with conservation and sustainability in mind. Follow local guidelines, as recommended by your guide, and make proactive decisions on your own.
- Culture: When travelling to other cultures, remember that not everyone's customs are the same as yours at home. Be respectful, and be mindful of openly questioning a customary practice, even if you disagree with it. Try to understand from their perspective. You may learn something! Your guide will be an excellent point of reference here, so check with them if you're unsure.
- Economy: Make every effort to use local businesses and put your tourism dollars in the right (local) pocket. We use local vendors and businesses, and your guide will be able to advise you on the best ways to support the local economy.

About her
I was born and raised in Mumbai. I came to the US in 2010 to pursue higher education. I did masters in Genetic Counseling from University of South Carolina. Currently, I work as a Genetic Counselor in a reputed diagnostic company in Orange County, CA. Professionally, I love what I do and I am very grateful for all the opportunities life has given me.
I would describe myself as someone who is mature, thoughtful and down to earth.I am intuitive, sensitive and a pretty good observer/listener . I stand on strong values and principles. I tend to have views and opinions on different things but also have an open-mind and love listening to and learning from different perspectives and ideologies. I enjoy music, and watching movies and documentaries and cooking. I also love to explore different places, cuisines and cultures. I come from a close knit family.
Few thoughts on the kind of partner/relationship that I am looking for. I believe that compatibility is
a key to having a long successful relationship. I am looking for someone with similar values and principles, someone who is emotionally mature, motivated, caring and genuine. Differences are inevitable in all relationships but not always as challenging if both partners are understanding, sensitive and respectful of each other. I am not looking for someone perfect, but someone whose imperfections fit well with mine.
If you would like to know more about me, feel free to contact me. Good luck in your search!

Judge dismisses Nadia Montenegro's libel case vs Annabelle Rama
More News from Jeannette I. Andrade
A judge has dismissed the multiple counts of libel filed against talent manager Annabelle Rama, formally granting former actress Nadia Montenegro's request for the court to disregard her complaint.
Both women were involved in a public feud but they recently reconciled and agreed to drop the lawsuits they filed against each other in Metro Manila and Cebu City.
In his order, Judge Ralph Lee of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 83 junked the 14 counts of libel against Rama after Montenegro said in her affidavit of desistance that the filing of the case only arose from a misappreciation of the facts and that she was no longer interested in pursuing the lawsuit.
Montenegro earlier sued Rama in connection with the allegedly defamatory messages the latter posted in her Twitter account from September to December 2011.
The ex-actress also cited statements made by Rama against her in TV interviews which aired in October and November that same year.
The rift between the two showbiz personalities started when Montenegro claimed that Rama made her underage daughters work more than 40 hours in a week in violation of the law.
The talent manager defended herself in television interviews and through tweets on Twitter which, according to Montenegro, contained statements which were libelous. This was followed by an exchange of lawsuits in several courts between the two women.
Rama and Montenegro eventually reconciled in a June 5 meeting and decided to drop the charges they filed in court against each other.
Another court in Quezon City has yet to rule on a motion to dismiss the unjust vexation case Rama filed last year against Montenegro and her lawyer Marie Glen Abraham.
Last week, Rama appeared in court to affirm an affidavit of desistance she executed on June 7 for the withdrawal of the lawsuit.

Batman: Arkham City
Single 680 not so great with this, but SLI is awesome
I love this game, but have found DX11 maxed unplayable, even with AA and physx off on my GTX 570 Classified. I played DX11 off for so long, I was ready to give it another go:
I was really disappointed yesterday whe I got my two 680s (planning to sell other) Her's my very early results.STOCK clocks on both 680s.
I just decided tonight to not Ebay my second 680 and keep it. pretty sweet too. with only one 680 I got really bad frames on Arkham with DX11 maxed only 2xMSAA,NO physx, everything else max.
But SLI I get rock-solid 60FPS with 8XMSAA (looks amazing) DX11 max, Physx normal everything else max
My test was Jokers Funhouse EXTREME Brawl challenge map. I was getting big dips into low 30s for fps at given settings,drops to 40s if I rotated the camera on wave ONE (which only has 5 goons) VS. rock solid 60 through all waves when adding 2nd card at noted increased settings.
Note that Physx HIGH doesnt play nice with DX11 max regardless of single or SLI. SLI with same settings same challenge map, I got massive dips into 30s when maxxing Physx. I will try sometime soon to find the sweet spot (if any) between DX11 and physx both max through various AA settings, but this will have to wait since its such APITA having to go back to desktop to change settings.
It is also fun to pile the 4XMSAA on top of high FXAA Ultra and not miss a beat 60FPS with 64 man Conquest on Karkland in SLI. A single 680 could do 60 frames majority of time but dropped to 55 on a few occations. Note this single 680 result was only Karkland Deeathmatch 24 man match.
I recommend getting a second after you find a first. Especially if DX11 Arkham is important to you.

There's FAR better examples to base an SLI or single GPU decision on regarding 680 performance, esp since you hinge it on enabling DX11 in this particular game. Everyone knows DX11 in this game isn't even worth enabling since Ivy's vines are about the only thing that look different and the DX11 performance is too inefficient in this title. There's nothing to justify it causing frame rates to dip so much.
Honestly there's WAY too many people basing their GPU decisions by insisting on max settings in certain games. There's just SO many games where certain features are either poorly coded or make the game actually look worse. The blur of Metro 2033 at Very High, the blur and ambient occlusion of Crysis on High or more Shader settings, etc, etc.
The smart ones are those whom buy no more than they need to for good image quality in games and don't pay any attention to the hype. Otherwise you can easily waste several hundred dollars.
"There's FAR better examples to base an SLI or single GPU decision on regarding 680 performance"
yeah, but this is the Arkham City board. With all the complaints about DX11 performance, I think this is a nice thing to let people know.
CMStormtrooper//SLI firstname.lastname@example.com//8GB RAM //256GB+128GB Crucial M4s//AW Optx AW2310 in mail
"With all the complaints about DX11 performance, I think this is a nice thing to let people know."
I understand what you're trying to do, but let's look at the facts. We aren't just talking about poorly optimized DX 11 performance in this game, it also has VERY little actual DX11 visual improvements in it in the first place. That combined with the fact that most here have already mentioned they feel enabling DX 11 in this game isn't worth it, and that you're advocating spending $1000 on two GPUs to see what little there is of it with acceptable frame rates, and it makes it rather obvious that what you're letting them know becomes of little value. It really doesn't even take an expensive experiment to figure that out either.
