Four persons, including the son of a professor, have been arrested by the police in connection with the murder of a fourth-year law student of Abia State University (ABSU), Uturu.
Obinna Obasi-Awa, the deceased, was reportedly murdered and buried in a shallow grave in a bush near ABSU last weekend.
Mr. Ambrose Aisabor, the Abia Commissioner of Police, confirmed the arrest of the four suspects to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) yesterday in Umuahia.
Aisabor said the police also recovered a locally made pistol and the deceased's clothes beside the shallow grave.
The commissioner said preliminary investigations further revealed that Obasi-Awa was tortured to death by a cult group named 'Maphices' during his initiation by members of the group.
"Two of the suspects, among them the son of a professor, had already made confessional statements to the police and said Obinna died from the injury he sustained during initiation.
"They said the student wanted to join the cult and was undergoing initiation rites before the unfortunate incident," he said.
He said the police had already exhumed the decomposing corpse for autopsy, adding that the process would expose the real cause of his death. Aisabor said the suspects would be arraigned soon.
The commissioner, who described the involvement of students in cult activities as retrogressive, advised parents to devote more time in the training their children.

Here on Freshome we try to find things that will inspire you, give you ideas and make your home a better place to live. You can find on Freshome all kind of stuff that will inspire you like : beautiful pieces of furniture, pictures that will inspire and provide you new and fresh ideas for your home, latest home architecture news, home gadgets, tips and tricks for improving your home, and many more. Today we decided to make a collection with the best bookshelfs that we gathered here on Freshome in almost an year since the first post was posted, and here is a beautiful collection with the 30 best bookshelfs that we found until now.
The Equation Bookshelf is designed by Marcos Breder and is a simple idea of to divide things in priority order. As you can see the design is quite unique, stylish and original. You can put together the books that you need immediately or more important between (parentheses) or maybe a photo, or something important for you to be the focal point of this bookselhf. Set others between [square brackets] and {braces}.
The Folding Bookshelves is something really innovative in the bookshelves business, and I really like the idea. It's very practical because you can arrange the books in an interesting way, as you can see from these pictures. The shelves are made of tough and steady cherry wood, but they possess the lightness of rice paper: they can be laid down, stood up, turned 90 degrees, used horizontally or vertically.
This multi-sized shelves design called the Quad Bookcase can store your CDs, DVDs, folders and books all in one clever product. For even more storage space, separate units can be joined together. Asymmetry in perfect balance!
Designer Da-Eun Song had an interesting idea when he designed this shelf that spells out shelf. This shelf has an very original and modern design. You can't store to much stuff on this shelf, but is a great way to decorate a wall, and put inside only the books and objects your really like.
Now this design might look cool for the eye, but I don't think you can stay to relaxed in that space, I'd rather stay in a comfortable chair. The "Shelves with a Bench" was designed by Stanislav Katz, a designer from Latvia.
As you can see from this picture a whole wall was used for this interesting bookcase, and the final result is a quite interesting bookcase, at least from my perspective.
Storyline Shelf is designed by Frederik Roijé and is an excellent solution to store your books in a modern way. Sound finds a physical identity in the beautifully crafted Storyline bookshelf. By first processing a word into soundwaves, the physical shape is then mirrored in powder-coated steel, using an explicit folding technique. Appropriately enough, the word that inspired this lovely piece was "bliss"
Designed by Doris Kisskalt the FlexiTube is mobile and can be changed into a transparent room partitioner. This fantastic tub rolls and fits into any corner and changes into a sculpture of a shelf. The various elements get support through their velvety surface. Inside each tube is a shelf for storage which serves as a visual horizontal line. FlexiTube is available in two different sizes and can be combined in any number either lying side by side or on top of each other. Chocks will support your FlexiTube sculpture in case that you want to set it up without the support of a wall.
This quasi-hexagonal pattern bookcase ( Opus Shelving by Sean Yoo's ) is made with "expanded polypropylene"- same material used for the car bumper and motorcycle helmet. It is very light but very strong, can be used indoor or outdoor and 100% recyclable. It wasn't designed specifically to be used as a book case. I've seen some people use it for storing wine bottles, children's toys, CD's, DVD's, records, and even an occasional book or two.
The Rolling Shelf has one end made from individual pieces of wood held together by fabric. This new flexible hinge allows you to really create some unique shelving options that are aesthetically interesting. The Rolling Shelf is designed by Catherine Greene.
Magnetique Shelf is designed by Nils Holger Moormann and is a shelf consisting of sheet steel and boxes made of FU(birch plywood). The sheet steel can be mounted onto the wall in a horizontal or vertical way. The backside of the boxes consists of a special, extra strong foil magnet which sticks to the wall attachment in any way you like.Depending on number, size and arrangement of the boxes, there is a new shelf everytime you change it. Magnetique is any cupboard you want it to be.
Sticklebook is an innovative design solution to book storage that creates the illusion of a line of books hanging unsupported on the wall. An alternative to a regular bookshelf, it comprises an aluminium bracket and combed strip that grips the cover and pages of paperback books. It is totally secure and fall-proof. Comes with screws included in nice gift package. It's an interesting method to store your books and also to make your friends say for a moment : "WTF ?!".
This interesting idea to store books, magazines, and DVDs is called by his creator BookWorm. Designed by Ron Arad, the bookworm is made from plastic which can be shaped into any form desired. each upright can support 20 pounds, and it is suggested that the bookworm be mounted in a curved design to increase capacity. This idea can be also very useful for small places, where a bookcase is way to large. In conclusion the Bookworm is a great product that also can make your home more spacious.
The Cave is a shelving unit with integrated nook for reading, for those who want to grab a book and start reading right away. I can say that this idea is ideal for small places, because the nook for reading can save the space used by a chair. A bookcase CAVE provides a private reading space within its form. As a seat hight is just above the floor, CAVE gives a feeling of hiding from others standing around it. Books can be stored on both sides. Therefore, CAVE can also functions as a partition of a room.
Prove Shelves are designed by a german company named Creosa. The prove shelves can be used to display your books, cds, etc in a really interesting way. The storing space is limited but enought to store the most important things.
The Italian studio Icon Design Studio has just presented D-mension, its new system of modular racks created by Nicola Zanetti. This new shelving system is made out of steel and aluminium. The units, shaped like lower-case d's, can be arranged in a staggered, abstract, or symmetrical formation based on the user's personal taste. I think that this shelving system is a great example of modern piece of furniture.
The Brace Case is designed by Ward Huting, and is a shelving unit that uses taut cables to house books, magazines and other flat objects at various angles. The modular system enables the owner to decide how to install the cables. This might be an interesting approach to storing stuff, but it doesn't looks to stable. The Brace Case is fully customizable according to individual room requirement and cable length. The Case is clamped between the floor and the ceiling, and can therefore be tailor-made to any room. Finnaly the price depends on the specific design and the amount of brace cables.
The Ellipse Bookcase has a really beautiful design, that will definitely enhance the beauty of any room. The ellipse bookcase is made up of hard tough elm tree wood and layers of wood veneer. The shelves are covered with unrolled bamboo. Unfortunately if you have a lot of books this bookcase is not for you, this bookcase is for someone who cares more about how things look like, and is not so interested in the books that are on the shelves.
Skateboard shelf is a piece of furniture that every skateboard lover would tell your that is awesome. I know that because last month I've meet someone who is in love with skateboarding, and he fall in love with this piece of furniture. Perfect for students and kids, it provides substantial storage space for books, display and even skateboard paraphernalia.
The Ceiling Bookshelf is a great idea to store your books if your space is limited. As you can see a place that 99,9% of people don't use can be used in a very practical way to store your books, and save a lot of space in any room. The ceiling bookshelf is an idea that can be applied quite easy. However, in order to get a book, you have to use a chair. Finnaly let's hope that the ceiling bookshelf will not reserve us unpleasant and unexpected surprises, like a book falling from the ceiling.
Lovely Rita is an unusual bookshelf. At at a first glance just arranging books on this bookshelf could be a real adventure. Lovely Rita can live as a single shelf or be repeated endlessly by combining additional units, becoming a bookcase of the desired length. Thanks to its special shape, it allows two different figures to be designed on the wall, according to the direction of fixing.
Tonelli is an Italian furniture company that is specialized in glass. An interesting product from them are these glass shelves, thant are caracterized by clean lines and a modern transparent design. The glass shelves have different sizes allowing you to make all kind of combinations, from storing books, dvds, souvenirs, etc. The glass shelves are designed by Giovanni Tommaso Garattoni and he named his creation Mondovisione.If you want more products from glass they have almost everything you can imagine from vetrines to vanities, and glass is always in style.
Vintage Shelf is an original shelf created by Jaren Goh Design for Munkii. A reminiscence of the classic design, embodied within a modern contemporary form. It brings back the classic design and fits it seamlessly into the modern homes of today. A unison of the past and the present.
Lodge is a modular bookcase that obtains a high degree of personalization, since it is formed from blocks of equal height that allow a free composition. At this modular bookcase it is possible to enlarge the height of the bookcase from new modules as more space is needed for storage. It presents/displays different compartments, suitable as much for books as for complements and decorativas pieces. In addition, it is possible to be used like separator of spaces, since it comes reinforced by an outer frame that surrounds it.
Dedalo Bookcase is designed by Marconato & Zappa and is manufactured by Porada. The Dedalo Bookcase has a modern design and it can be used as a room divider or center against the wall. This uniquely designed bookcase features five round combined squares with round corners, that allows you to store a lot of things, in various ways..
This Multi-functional shelf design by Yoon-Zee Kim is a playful and creative piece of furniture. You can use it as a shelving system or a seating and a desk. This piece of furniture has a modern look, doesn't take to much space and is a very clever idea that looks nice.
Over the time you've seen a lot of bookshelves on Freshome, but what I've found today is really impressive. The Rainbow Bookshelf is a very good way of changing the whole aspect of a bookshelf with a little bit of creativity. I guess you'll have to pay more attention to the book's cover from now on if you want to reproduce that effect and have your own rainbow bookshelf.
If you would like a modern shelving solution then Cosmo Shelves are the ideal solution. As you can see from the pictures these shelves have squares and rectangles shapes with rounded corners. They come in two colors, black and withe, exactly like Neptune Chairs that I've just presented to you. I'm sure that these chairs and these shelves could fit excellent together. The shelves are easy to mount, and you can arrange the rectangles and squares and create a unique art gallery or modern bookshelf.
Hanging Bookself is an innovative storage design for your books from unal&boler studio. Something that Ididn't saw before. This system can't replace a whole bookcase, but two of three systems of storage like this could be fun to hang somewhere in your home.
U Bend Shelf is a great example of an extremely simple design. A single bar that extends from the wall which will support your books in a discrete and stable way, the first of them being used to fix the others. The shelf is available in two high gloss powder coated finishes, black or white, and the price for this shelf is $95. I think that this is a great way to store some books in a small room.

awesome bookshelves………
Most of those designs suffer from the problem of too much form with little attention to function. They mostly look great, but many of them are highly impractical solutions to the problem of book storage and display. Some of them will even damage your book collection over time. I do like the creative thinking involved though, and with some work many of these ideas could be made practical in addition to stylish.
+1 to decultured. Most of these are spectacular-looking ways to warp perfectly good books.
Thanks for your post and comment, Michael. This list is great and it's a 100% match to us here: we're a "used book store" network (the biggest in Brazil with more than 750 companies and 15 million books), and our name, in portuguese, means "Virtual Bookshelf", thus you can figure how your list of innovative bookshelves made us happy.
which came first?…the Prove Shelves remind me of the Stacks feature in Leopard.

i've to go with decultured …
i dont think most of 'em are really practical …
Love it, especially the one with the bench. Oh, to be surrounded by books…
these are amazing.
the 'interesting bookshelf' wall is AMAZING. Someday I want a bookshelf like that!
All of these designs are interesting, but I'm not sure I'd actually want any of them in my house.

Great bookshelfs altough I'd want a classic one to put in a study, also use spell check there were a bunch of spelling mistakes.
They may look pretty, but are they sturdy enough?
if the books are not vertically aligned liked in classical bookshelves, it is always difficult to read the titles. You have to twist your neck. Not practical.
I am surprised you did not include these two:
They are both interesting and far more practical than many on your list.
I love this one!
However, a friend of mine who lives in Italy asked and it is *VERY* expensive…
Oh, those designers!
Cosmo Shelves are the ideal solution? Are you kidding :)? There is no books that fits there even on demo pictures. Bookshelf should help to store books :).
Actually some of 30 are defenitely created without having books in mind, but to store some other stuff.
+1 to decultured
Only Folding Bookshelves, D-mension and probably Dedalo Bookcase worth some attention.
okay, people…can't you lighten up and think outside the box a bit? so they aren't all functional. they are FUN designs and the designers were creative. maybe you should get out more. sheesh!
wow for a book worm like me this is simply delicious
Loved all of them!!!!!!! Very creative and artitist
Some of these are useless… but nice to look at
What a great rebel ideas of great design. I love it so much. It almost change all my design concept and vision. Very creative and artistic!
Very nice BookCases.
Oh yes. Very nice.
oh wow those are so cool.
blankblank makes a beautiful bookshelf called "Religion" that would fit this list…

And then we wonder why designers get no respect (…)
These are mostly exercises in self-indulgence that will either damage your books (for the few out there still reading books), frustrate you to murderous despair trying to stack or retrieve anything, and surely turn you into a dizzy zombie from the headaches you'd be getting staring at all those diagonals and visual overload.
As usual, designers gravely underestimate the public's need for practicality foremost in the objects it buys. Eye candy is nice to have but don't go call these "innovations", this world has real problems to solve.
I love the list.
it is very clever and i like.

Very Very Nice
simple yet creative.
Very nice …. Tnx
The bookshelves were interesting, even if I really wouldn't want most of them in my house. Needs better use of unison. That one made my brain flinch.
Very interesting!
I wrote about it.
Simply great and inspiring desings, i was amazed by all collection.
I love the Sticklebook and the Ceiling Bookshelf. I'd love to incorporate these designs into one of my rooms.
Thanks for the post.
The selection of book cases is totally awesome!
Hah, your collection makes a fun post. I've written about a couple of those in the past, but I found lots of new ones here I hadn't seen before. The hanging closet rod shelves are particularly funky, though I don't know anyone who can afford to give up closet space.
Totally fun to look at! I agree with others that many, maybe even most are impractical and I would never subject my books being stored like that…
…but I really like Sticklebook (similar to the Invisible Bookshelf) and I would store my magazines or "floppy" books on Lovely Rita.
Sorry, but these bookshelf designs SUCK !
If any of these so called designers actually cared about books or about paper (and its quite painfully obvious to me that they do not!), they'd stick to designing fluorescent dildoes and mirrored cop sunglasses and disposable plastic forks –in other words, materials that their sensibilities are better suited to comprehend.
again, BOO !
gustave m.
The most god-awful collection of effete crap I have seen in many years. There is nothing there designed by a book lover. Asolutely nothing.
Read gustave morin's post.
Most creative designs.
Lets review the word design, which stands for purpose and for concept. Now with a purpose in mind a concept thus arises.
What was the purpose here? Certainly not shelving books, and definitely not books you care about. Where those made for "johnny good looks" with all his hip "good for show books" and designers' "look me i'm different (and quite useless)" aparatus?
Well except a few items here those are not well thought concepts and they dont serve the purpose of displaying books.
Best regards and looking forward to the next brew of 30 of the most creative book benders designs.

Woa! These are some really interesting designs! I wish I had some of these for my Manga collection!
What a tremendous amount of information. I feel you've got us all beat when it comes to research. This is a wonderful sight for designers. I appreciate what you've given us here.
I like most of the ideas, they certainly are creative, but I'll have to agree with others that most aren't practical at all. I will say, though, whoever posted the link to the staircase, THANK YOU!! I have a ton of books and that is such a fantastic and clever idea!!
wow, this is a great collection of fun bookshelves. thanks!
and for those of you complaining about these shelves ruining books, I don't see how most of these would damage your books; most at least have the option of holding your books upright like any normal bookshelf – I assume those don't "ruin your books"? And as for practicality…yeah, some of them are less-than-practical, but quite a few are really practical, even more so than a normal bookshelf.
few of the shelves are awesome with gr8 creativity involved.
love em all !!!!!
this is simply out of this world..great designs
awesome design. i can´t belive it. wunderful and elegant.
simply great.
very nice designs. good work
hi loved the creativity ……loved the one with the brackets n the one with skateboards.great job guys n gals
It makes a great contemporary decore
Wow! these are just great.
They are simple and nice ! thanks
just fabulous.i loved the "shelf with a bench".
i love the pink
— but it could use more red.. like where i could cut my wrist at. so it blends in with my bleeding heart. kinda with the flow.
These are really cool, I wish I had more space for books…
Amazing bookshelves!! great finds!!
Sure they look pretty, but none of these are by or for people who actually read. Sorry, but functionality becomes the main concern when you have several hundred books and get more every few weeks.

I loved a lot of these very creative designs. I wish I had the space for a few of these great pieces.
Truely inspiring.
Enjoyed the different ideas.
I just added your site to my favorites. I enjoy reading your posts. Thanks!
you show some terrific storage solutions. I'll share with clients seeking something special.
Loved all the designs, very inspirational, thanks
I love modern design. And, while some of the ideas are really intriguing, i wonder about the durability of them long term. Also, how many people will really have a single bottle that sticks up?
Wasn't it Davinci that said that "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication?"
these are very interesting and eye catching i would love some of that stuff in my house
oh my, the equation, how could someone got that idea! brilliant.
Great Site! Personally I love mine old carpet runner. It's a perfect first impression to friends coming over to my place. And the carpets are very soft to walk on! Never again do I have to sense the pain of walking on glacial stairs in the morning. It also tones down the sound created from walking on it! I extremely propose everyone to get one! It's also a amazing safety addition to your home. Trust me, falling on a stair with a carpet runner is much more preferable than falling on one without any!
hi loved the creativity
IT'S Really amazing designs & very helpfull……..
i like these shelvesbooks
veeeeeerrryyyy good
Looking at designs like these is really good if you are fabricating a custom bookshelf. A good carpentry facility will be able to create something unique if you show them examples of bookshelves you like.
Some of them could work for me at my place!
creative and amazing ideas but most of them are for less number of books.any way good ideas
Any one of these pieces is sure to stand out in any home. I think my favorite has to be the ceiling bookshelf though. Certainly an anomalous idea!
Inspiring! I loved looking at these amazing bookshelves. The only problem I have is picking my favorite. Thank you for the great post. I look forward to checking out more!
It's an awesum outrageous designs!
its very prety Cool man…..
these designs are some what abrurd and some what creative pure art
These are too unigue! I would like to post them on my web site, this would be exactly what the young generation is looking for.
Some creative talent in your office!
Some of these are very cool and unique, going to look into some of them for my new place. Thanks for this, these bookshelf's are awesome.
Nice designs
shiva shankar madishetti
Sweet! These all look so unique. I would love to have some options with movable units — so to making moving a lot easier!
look cool
This post is a life saver! We are currently renovating our home into a wedding venue but wanted to add some subtle home nuances to the overall motif, and book cases/shelves were our starting point. Found so many points of inspiration from this post!
Inspired ideas. love the sit in shelves
I never get tired of seeing this post
I love the rolling shelf. That is so cool, and the fact that it allows a bit more room for bottles and books to stand really appeals to me. I may be feeling a bit too ambitious, but I have some timber that I've been meaning to use. I wonder what kind of fabric they used for the rolling parts, and if I might be able to replicate it.

Scout suits up to work toward Eagle badge
Jun 27, 2012 - By Emily Etheredge, Staff Writer
Riverton High School sophomore Taylor DeVries suited up in navy blue coveralls as the scorching sun forced temperatures into the upper 90s Tuesday. DeVries is putting in 40 hours of community service to acquire his Eagle Scout ranking with Riverton Boy Scout Troop No. 376.
"It is a little hotter than I thought it would be before I volunteered to do this, but I am committed to getting the task finished," DeVries said.
DeVries is painting the wooden picnic shell at Sunset Park that was originally constructed by the Riverton Lions Club.
The City of Riverton purchased the paint and supplies for DeVries to paint the structure.
DeVries, who has been a Boy Scout since he was 11 years old, works to develop qualities such as responsibility, leadership, service and respect.
DeVries was accompanied by Boy Scouts Jayden Haslam and Brayden Draper who showed up to help their friend accomplish his goal.
"It is really hot, and this is going to take awhile to finish, but the finished project will be enjoyable for years to come," DeVries said.

I agree to all but the Razer. Definetely not the worst phone ever made. I could think of many more. The razer is the most sold phone in the world, ever. Over 50 million Motorola Razers have been sold. Yes, 50 Million. Yes battery life sucked on alot and yes the water damage sticker was always indicating red on EVERYONES cell phone due to regular life/condensation. But I have come across tons of people that were completely happy with it. Motorola also used to have the BEST when it came to reception. The Startac, V60 and Motorola E815 were great when it came to needing reception in really rural areas. Motorola has had a flaw for years with their battery life though. Its not the battery, its something to do with how the phone utilizes the battery and charges it. They go dead SO fast as far as the life.

The power of Social Networking in Grade 6 with Edmodo
I had a big week in class last week. As I've said earlier, my role this year in the 5/6 level has led to me being, among other things, a support teacher in a variety of curriculum areas. The week just past saw me taking workshops and lessons across Reading, Writing and Inquiry. I had a similar role last year but always felt like I wasn't accepted by the students as their 'teacher' because I wasn't always around due to my other responsibilities. It was only late last year after I attended a Tech Conference and was introduced to the potential of Edmodo that I was able to make a real and lasting connection with the Grade 6 students in a real way. After the conference, I was asked to take a Literature Circle group by the Grade 6 teachers and I quickly saw Edmodo as a vehicle I could use to work with them outside of physical contact time. It worked really well as a test case. This year, with that experience behind, I decided to go full steam ahead with every workshop and lesson group I plan.
At the moment I am involved with the Grade 6 students in a Ballad Poetry workshop ( I wrote about that last week), an Inquiry workshop investigating the issue of Urban Sprawl and a Reading Comprehension group with both Grade 5 and 6 students. ( I haven't signed the Grade 5 students up with Edmodo yet).
Each of the Grade 6 groups are connected to each other and myself through an Edmodo small group within the main Grade 6 group. I decided to use small groups so that it is easy just to switch groups of children in and out of focus groups rather than give them codes every couple of weeks to join new groups. It has also allowed the other Grade 6 teachers to create and manage their own groups easily while also having access to their students who are working for me.
What I have found already is how engaged the students immediately became the moment they were given the opportunity to use a social networking environment. Children who never open their mouths in discussions were suddenly asking and responding to multiple questions from teacher and student alike. Students who rarely express opinions were involved in debates, linking to websites and Youtube videos to back up their opinions. Individuals who in the past have found it difficult to submit any work on time were uploading multiple revisions of assignments after getting timely feedback. This is just a snapshot of the response I, and the other teachers who quickly jumped on board over the course of the week when they saw the initial response from my groups, received during the week. I want to go into a bit more detail about each group interaction now.
I began this inquiry workshop with a shared text outlining the basic premise of Urban Sprawl. What I did differently from the past was I allowed the children to sit with laptops beside them as we read the text. They were allowed to use Edmodo to post reactions, new learning and questions that arose from the content of the text. I had worked with many in this group last year in a variety of settings and some rarely provided any feedback or made any meaningful contributions. It was these very students who became key contributors to the conversation here. The freedom to use Technology and their natural environment of social networking/chatting opened up channels of communication that traditional chalk and talk or rotating brainstorm sheets didn't engage them in.
One student's question led to multiple responses from others that deepened the inquiry beyond my initial goals. Questions about the content enabled the group to post new concepts to investigate within the broader topic. As a result, within 3 sessions, I have teams of children investigating issues of traffic and transport, access to facilities like education and hospital services and the pros and cons of megacities, all without me suggesting any of it. I strongly believe based on past experiences without technology that this would not have happened without my encouragement if we had just read the text.
The engagement was evident when they posted their own links to Youtube videos of local politicians talking about Urban Sprawl issues, Annotated Google Maps showing distances from outlying suburbs to city hospitals, and links to maps of train networks as they discussed online the inequalities of train travel for some outer suburbs. I'm away with the Grade 5s on Camp next week but I know that I leave this group with a shared understanding of the issues to discuss with other class members without me being there. HAving said that, as an ubergeek teacher, I have also said I will be checking in via my iPhone or iPad from camp to see what they are doing and would be available to support them online if necessary.
I spoke at length in my last post about this so this is more of an update of how these sessions have progressed. All students have taken the opportunity to post attempts on Edmodo. Admittedly, there has not been much interaction between the students in this case but they have appreciated the timely feedback to their questions ands attempts from me. As a result, some (but not all) students have posted drafts of verses for me to feedback on and then responded with edited posts. Each student has uploaded their ballad plans for me to have access to, enabling me to provide advice directly to them. The fact that using Edmodo means submitting digital texts means they are more willing to edit their work instead of rewriting entire texts each time if done via pen and paper.
On Friday, we collaboratively drafted a rubric to support them in their writing but I took it away to polish it up and structure in more detail. There was too much of a delay for some who wanted access to it straight away ( One girl posted a request for it at 7 am Saturday morning) and so one of the students took it upon herself to post a link to an online study guide about Ballads which was quickly appreciated by others through replies. Again, while I'm away on Camp, I promised them I would continue to check in and provide feedback to them, something I couldn't have done in the past.
I had two aims for this group. One was for instant responses and shared feedback on comprehension questions in an open forum. The other was to encourage independent editing and revising of work through the Assignments feature of Edmodo.
We started this group work with a shared reading of a newspaper article, using 3 Level Guide statements to encourage conversation on the article. The children were asked to justify the accuracy of the statements by providing evidence in the text. By having the article linked to our Edmodo group, the children had quick access to the article for cross referencing and were able to copy/paste quotes to back up their arguments. By posting their responses online, we could challenge each others opinions instantly, either through verbal feedback with our online conversation on the iWB or through posting replies either during the group session at school, or as often occurred, continuing the discussion online at home. This challenged the children to question their responses and also to provide further explanation rather than the quick responses we often get through one off replies in standardised tests or one session tasks. The inclusion of social networking tools gives that extra think time and the opportunity to add to your opinions after hearing what others have to say. This helps to develop a deeper level of thinking than we get from one chance only tasks.
As a follow up task, I set them an assignment to submit by the end of the week. I made it clear that I wanted them to submit their drafts online through Edmodo's Assignments section and that I would respond quickly with feedback and expected a second ( or third) edited response. The students responded positively to this and all but one of the 15 students gave me at least a second revision, responding effectively to the feedback in both structure and additional detail. I'm a strong believer that word processing tools should be used at all stages of the writing process as it encourages students to make revisions if they don't have to do complete rewrites of handwritten texts. My role as the teacher was to give timely feedback so that they saw the worth of early submission and multiple revisions. All the students who participated fully produced a final copy at the expected level.
Part of adjusting to the concept of 21st Century Learning or Contemporary Learning (whatever you choose to call it) is playing to the strengths of your students. Social Networking is ingrained in their way of being so it use seems like a no brainer that we utilise that in our teaching. The increased engagement I have seen in just one week of using Edmodo with this years' Grade 6s for the first time makes me even more convinced of its merit. If it gets more than just that usual 20% who contribute to every lesson involved then it has already made a difference. From what I have seen in this short time frame, along with last year's experiment, it does a lot more than that.
I'd like to hear from other teachers of your personal experiences of using this type of social networking in classrooms, both successes and challenges ( it wasn't perfect -one child did manage to post a picture of a mouse on a mouse during the Urban Sprawl lesson!!). Join the conversation.

Sounds wonderful. My question is -how much of the edmodo communication took place at home vs in class? Our students do not all have internet access at home so wondering how to get through that hurdle. Thanks.

I've also been using edmodo regularly (once a week) with my grade 12college English class. In general, the college level English classes at my school present all sorts of challenges, particularly when it comes to academics and behaviour. Edmodo helps me deal with these challenges. Mon. to Thurs. I work with the students in my regular classroom, presenting content, practicing skills, etc. Then on Fri. we go to a computer lab where the students respond to polls, quizzes, questions, etc. related to the previous days. This gives me concrete evidence as to whether or not my students are getting "it." As you noted, Mark, through edmodo students who don't normally speak up in class, now have a voice. And students who tend to speak too much — usually off topic! — are more reflective with what they post. The following Mon., back in the classroom, I can share some posts, clarify things as necessary and then move on. I just started this process in Feb. (2nd semester) after having a difficult 1st semester with my grade 12 class and I can tell you that edmodo has helped in a huge way.

What do you do for the discussion board part of your lesson? Do you just use notes in the small group or do you use a google doc? I just introduced this in my class yesterday and the students love it. I want to take notes using it tomorrow and was curious on the discussion board aspect.

Thank you for sharing. I use Schoology in the classroom (not Edmodo) but its power of student collaboration is very impressive. Book discussions, group projects, and sharing other work are some of the examples of how I use these in the classroom.

Hi Mark
I really enjoy reading about how you have been integrating ICT into the classroom. I have been using edmodo for the past 3 years and find it really useful in assignment and homework. How do you assess your literature circle? I just need some ideas on assessing them either self or peer assessment.

I'm interested in how you manage the Edmodo discussion. Do you simply post a question and students reply? Do you ask (assign?) them to post a question? This was the first year I used Edmodo and some students took to it, while others never responded to any posted questions. I'm in a special situation that would take too long to explain here, but I'd really like to have some guidance to use this fully.

I just signed up for an Edmodo account for the grade 5 and 6 students who I am teaching this year, though I'm still researching how I'm going to use it with them. This gave me some insight. Thank-you

Are the rest of you as bad as I am at slowing down and resting or relaxing? I find it so hard to allow myself some time to just sit and read a book or to go outside and enjoy the weather. I'm not sure how I came up with my "anti-relaxation policy," but I sure wish I could get rid of it!
I think one reason I don't let myself slow down is that there is always so much to be done! All moms know that there is always cooking, cleaning, laundry, dusting, and so much more to be done at any given time. Since we homeschool, there is also always school work to be done as well. I think it is impossible to do enough housework to feel like everything that needs to be done has been done, don't you? I don't think I've ever gotten to the point where I just looked around and thought, "My goodness! I can't find one single thing that needs to be done in this house!" The thought of it makes me laugh!
Another thing that makes me pass up opportunities to relax is that I feel guilty if I do it! Because there is always more to be done, I feel like it's wrong of me to relax or take a break instead of keeping on working. I also think of my husband who is at work all day without the opportunity to stop and take a break if he wants or needs one. I tell myself that, if I had a work-outside-the-house job I wouldn't be able to take a break whenever I wanted to. So I just keep on working.
One more reason that I have lately noticed is that, if I do take a break (or attempt to take one), my children all think, "Hey, Mom isn't busy right now! Maybe she can do _____ for me!" They are not used to seeing me just stop and sit down for a rest. If I do so, they are just sure that I can do some project or activity or something else that they want me to do.
I'm actually not sure that I am doing the right thing by setting such an example for my children. Even Jesus rested, and here I am teaching my children by example that resting is "wrong." I don't want to teach my children to be lazy or that working is a bad thing. I do want them to see that it is sometimes ok to slow down and just enjoy being quiet and still for a little while, though.
Do you teach your children to take a break too? Are your children allowed to "interrupt" your resting time, or not? I would love to hear your ideas for getting a little bit of rest or relaxation when you need it!

So both my wife and I game...A lot! We have almost every game system you can buy. I have been watching my wife play Heavy Rain on the PS3 when an achievement trophy popped up. I asked her what the achievement was and she absolutly could not care less. Now, let me give you some back story on my wifes gamming habit. She and I share a gold account on our 360. This is the same woman that S ranked LOST Via Domus for gammer points, and now, she couldn't care less?!
As we started talking about achievements and why they are good/bad for gamming we came to the conclusion that if you have friends who game and are on the same system then your commitment level is higher. It's like this post that I am wrighting on Giant Bomb, it's all about the XP. But, for some reason the Wii and PS3 don't have that relevance in our gamming lives. We have friends that own them, although few who actually play them. So the next time a trophy, Achievement or a whatever-the-hell the Wii has pops up think about the S rank that comes with it not the gamerscore.
Man, I hope the xp was worth it.

Ferragamo Sundays
Got to run, Cole and I are off to Boston to watch (500) Days of Summer! Squueeeeeee!
I like these shoes.
how gorgeous are these shoes????
I think Oxfords are adorable. Very British :P
And oh how I wish I could afford vintage Ferragamo's!
*sigh* well, a girl can dream :)
Lovely blog, Maria!
Kisses! XX
those shoes are so beautiful !! i have a pair quite similar !! thank you sooo much for your really nice comment !!
Ooh, cute! I like those very much. And they suit you perfectly.
Girl, those are adorable, but don't ever complain about wearing "the annoyingly popular size 8" until you have tried to find to find nice women's shoes in a size 12 wide. You find that when your feet are as big as mine, most of the women's shoes look like something a crossdresser would wear. And most manufacturers do not even make shoes in my size, so the selection is very limited. I wind up just buying all my shoes at endless.com because they have a great selection and free overnight shipping, and going into a real shoe store is just an exercise in futility for me. So be thankful for your average-sized feet. They are a blessing you can't possibly understand unless you have skis like mine. :)
missed my bloggy friend! sorry i haven't been around to comment maria! but i'm back! and i adore the pictures! i especially love the last pic with the shoes lined up in front of the mirror...very nice!
The germaphobe putting shoes on a table top? How many clorox wipes did you use afterward. I'm guessing at least 3 - one initial, one to catch whatever the first missed and one just to make really sure.
Those are beautiful, Maria. I'm excited for you!
wonderful shoes!!
Jealous. Table for one.
The first shoes are perfect!
Love the shoes
you have absolute superb taste in shoes :D! WOW! i love those santoki ones especially...

I have an addiction to Tim Horton's 12 grain bagels
Someone from my office recently brought Tim Horton's coffee and bagels in. I must admit to never having gone there myself. I know, I sound like I live under a rock, but I have just never made a habit of frequenting any "fast food" type places. Being an admitted coffee snob, I was shocked that their coffee was quite acceptable. My problem is that I may need a 12 step program to get off their 12 (or 13 or some teen) grain bagels. To me, they are sublime. Plain, almond butter, honey - it's all good.
Has anyone ever encountered a commercial brand available in grocery stores that compares?

Baseball season is fast approaching as Mississippi State will open their season on February 16 with a three-game series with the Cougars of Washington State.Â
Coach John Cohen's group looks to carry the momentum from their super regional run into this season by using just the right recipe for success.
"I feel like we have the recipe," Cohen said. "I feel like we have some guys with power, some guys that are runners, but more than anything I like the way we defend the field and the way we pitch.
"The strength of our club is the pitching staff. There is great experience there."
Indeed there is experience and leadership.
Caleb Reed will set the tone for the pitching staff giving Cohen a player to use as the model for how things are to be done at the SEC level.
"We have outstanding leadership on the mound right now," Cohen said. "It is really the first time since I've come back to Starkville that I felt like we had great experience, leadership and the skill level on the mound."
While Reed headlines the group as State's closer, he'll be joined by Chris Stratton, Nick Routt, Ben Bracewell, Louis Pollorena, Evan Mitchell and a host of others who bring Southeastern Conference experience to the table, an important fact when you consider the Bulldogs return only C.T. Bradford and Brent Brownlee as experienced offensive producers.
"I think we have some very good hitters in our program, they are just inexperienced," Cohen said. "As they grow and get better, I feel like we are going to have the right recipe to have a pretty good team."
The recipe Cohen continues to refer to is simply based of the statistical data gathered using the past few years worth of College World Series participants.Â
"The teams that all end up in Omaha are all good defensive teams," he said. "I took it one step further when we were looking at this as a staff. Are those teams great defensive teams because they are great defenders or because they good because they get a put out from the mound on a swing and miss? Those two things work together, the pitching and the defense, and I think we can excel in both of those areas."
In his eyes the game has changed and his current team reflects the look of the new college baseball.
"I think it is going to be much more of a recipe in college baseball," Cohen said. "There was a time in the late 90s, early 2000s where if you didn't hit 100 home runs, you couldn't win the College World Series. I just think that now it is much more of a recipe."
Mississippi State will continue to hold open practices at Dudy Noble field in preparation for their season opener that's just over a week away. All fans are welcome to attend as the Diamond Dawgs get set for the 2012 season.View more articles in:

Video Tour: Samsung A717 & A727
Article Comments
To me the SYNC looks much nicer than either of these phone. And besides being more aesthetically pleasing, the Sync also benefits from a better key pad and better directional pad as well. Also, the at&t branded SYNC was updated to support Video Share as well (the Cingular SYNC will not). All in all, the SYNC and the A717 operate exactly the same. And with the available external music keys, better key pad & better directional pad, I'll stick w/ the SYNC. And BTW, its like $100 cheaper.

You'd never know it by reading the fish counts coming out of San Diego, but summer is over and fall has officially arrived in Southern California. The days are getting shorter, the air and water temperatures are dropping, and the bluefin tuna are making their yearly appearance at the Cortes Bank and Tanner Bank.
Though not as reliable as the swallows returning to Capistrano, the tuna can usually be counted on to show up at these outer banks around the first day of fall and this year was no different as the Freedom out of 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro found them biting on their first trip of the season.
Located approximately 100 miles offshore, the Cortes and Tanner banks lie side by side approximately 50 miles southwest of San Clemente Island.
The Cortes Bank, named after the steamship Cortes that found it in 1853, is the shallower of the two banks with its high spot, Bishop Rock, lying only a few feet below the surface. Though Tanner Bank's high spot is deeper, sitting in 80 feet of water, the banks are very similar in their composition and layout. Both are basically underwater islands comprised of a combination of hard and soft bottom interspersed with the volcanic rock outcroppings that act as fish aggregating high spots.
The depth and topography of these remote banks separates them from our other offshore banks and makes for a fishery more akin to that found at Alijos Rocks than to anything in Southern California. Boats will drop the anchor to fish these banks. They'll target migratory species like bluefin tuna and bonito as well as resident species such as rockfish and yellowtail.
The Cortes and Tanner banks are mostly targeted by 1½ day boats originating from Long Beach or San Pedro, though San Diego landings will occasionally run trips there as well. If you're interested in making a trip, both the Freedom and the Toronado out of Pierpoint Landing are currently offering trips which normally depart at 9 p.m., arrive at the banks shortly after dawn, fish until dusk and get back to the dock around 3 or 4 a.m. the following day.
I've been addicted to the fishery at these banks since I made my first trip to the Cortes as a teenager. The tuna bite had been slow on the trips leading up to my first visit, but the fish were big (well at least by those day's standards), with fish up to 60 pounds being caught. I was there as a pinhead on the Toronado and Capt. Ray Lagme told me that I was allowed to fish as long as I stayed out of the way of the paying passengers. Everyone was bunched up in the stern, so I went up to the bow and fished a dropper-loop rig for rockfish. The tuna were M.I.A. that morning, but the sheephead and big whitefish were wide open and I loaded up.
Around midmorning, the current switched, the chum started to drift up off the bow and I saw a big tuna blow up on a sardine. Grabbing my 40-pound bait stick, I pinned on one of the mackerel that I'd hidden in the front bait tank and cast it out. The mackerel hit the water running and was detonated almost immediately. The line screamed off the spool as I gave the fish some time to eat the bait, before throwing my trusty Penn 500 Jigmaster in gear.
It was a solid hook up and the rod doubled over, but the spool never even slowed down as the fish raced away, pulling behind it all the new line I'd dutifully wound on before the trip. I should have been a little more dutiful about the knot I used to tie the new line to the line already on the reel because my splice broke the second it came off the spool and the fish disappeared.
It's been almost 25 years since that day and although I've caught plenty of big tuna and fished for them in more exotic locations than Cortes Bank, that fish remains one of my strongest fishing memories.
Just telling this story has me pumped up to get back out to the Cortes Bank. Hell, I might jump on a trip this weekend.
When you do book a trip, you're going to need to bring the right tackle. You'll want to bring along the same rods and reels you'd take on any tuna trip, but you should also carry some 8-ounce torpedo sinkers to fish the rockfish and some yo-yo jigs in case the big yellowtail decide to bite.
According to Capt. Tom Lee on the Freedom, the bluefin have been line and hook shy on some days, so you'll want to bring a variety of hook sizes from #1 up to 4/0 along with some lighter fluorocarbon leader. I wouldn't fish anything lighter than 20-pound leader (and that's pushing it). You'll also want to bring a heavy rod with 40- to 50-pound line for when the bluefin hit more aggressively or the big yellowtail decided to bite.
Whatever you do, please make sure and tie a good knot so that you don't have to look back 25 years from now and wonder about just how big that fish you lost might have been.
Speaking of knots, in the next So Cal Scene we'll take a look at the why and how of using fluorocarbon leaders to get bit when tuna fishing is tough.

Hotels in Reykjavik
As one of Europe's premium travel destinations, there are plenty of hotels in Reykjavik to suit the needs of every traveler. For travelers on a budget, some of the best hotels in Reykjavik include the Center Hotel Arnarhvoll with modern rooms and views of Mount Esja, Hotel Reykjavik Marina or the family run Hótel Leifur Eiríksson. Backpackers who enjoy the hostel experience should try the Kex Hostel or Hlemmur Square – a hotel/hostel hybrid.
For mid-range hotels in Reykjavik try the 101 Hotel, a boutique property with 38 rooms and rum-spiked hot chocolate in the hotel bar. Another downtown hotel that delights travelers with its quaint 1791 exterior but modern interior is the Hotel Centrum. Many Reykjavik Hotels are conveniently located in the center of the city. However, none quite compare to the recently renovated Hotel Borg, an imposing and regal art-deco structure next to the city's parliament and the cathedral.
Steps from the National Cathedral and City Hall, this 1930's Art Deco hotel was restored to its original splendor in 2006. One of the city's historic landmarks, the 4-star property was commissioned in celebration of the anniversary of Iceland's Parliament.
Modern, art-focused property with 38 rooms. Stop by the lobby bar for Austrian rum–spiked hot chocolate by the fireplace.
The new hotel in downtown's 101 district features modern rooms (slate palette accented with red and chestnut brown) come with views of Mount Esja.

Do I need a Laparoscopy?
So almost all roads lead to IVF so why do the laparoscopy? Well, not all patients can afford IVF or wish to try IVF. They may be afraid of the drugs, of OHSS, of multiples and I agree that those are good things to fear….and yet IVF really works better than our other options. Natural cycle IVF can remove some risk is more acceptable to some patients but it doesn't work as well as stimulated cycle IVF. So do I need a laparoscopy? That is the topic of today's question from 100 Questions and Answers about Infertility. So to honor my general surgeon father in light of the rapid approach of Father's Day…here is my response…and it pretty much proves that I am not a "real" doctor in his eyes…
11. What is a laparoscopy, and do I need one?
A laparoscopy is an outpatient surgery usually performed under general anesthesia. Most laparoscopies are completed in a hospital, but some physicians utilize freestanding outpatient surgery centers. During a laparoscopy, the physician inserts a small fiber-optic telescope into the abdominal cavity through an incision made in the patient's umbilical area (belly button). Most physicians initially distend the abdomen using carbon dioxide gas with a needle (Veres needle) to create what is called a pneumoperitoneum. A trocar—an instrument with a diameter similar to that of a pencil—is then passed through the umbilicus, allowing for introduction of the telescope (called a laparoscope) into the abdomen.
Using the laparoscope, a gynecologic surgeon can inspect the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The appendix and upper abdomen are carefully inspected as well. Additional instruments may be inserted into the abdomen through incisions (ports) made along the hairline above the pubic bone. For example, the physician may use graspers, scissors, or suction irrigators to rinse the tissue and remove blood and fluids as needed. Some physicians insert a slightly larger telescope through the umbilical port, which allows them to use a carbon dioxide laser to cut scar tissue or destroy implants of endometriosis. Besides the laser, other instruments can be used to cut or burn abnormalities such as endometriosis or scar tissue.
During a laparoscopy, the physician typically introduces a blue dye into the uterine cavity while directly visualizing the fallopian tubes. If the fallopian tubes are patent (open) but are located in an abnormal location because of scar tissue, then the surgeon may try to free the fallopian tubes to improve the patient's fertility. If abnormal ovarian cysts such as endometriomas are present, then the physician may remove them during the course of the laparoscopy or, if necessary, perform a laparotomy.
A laparotomy is a surgery performed through a larger incision, usually made along the bikini line. It may require the patient to stay 1 to 3 days in the hospital following the surgery. In addition, a laparotomy requires a longer recovery period and may create more new scar tissue than laparoscopic surgery. Certain abnormalities cannot be easily treated through laparoscopy, including exceedingly large ovarian cysts, ovarian cysts that are suspicious for cancer, and fibroids that are deeply embedded in the wall of the uterus. Patients with these problems are probably better served by a laparotomy.
For many years, all women who were seeking fertility care underwent laparoscopy as part of the initial evaluation. In recent times, this practice has faded with increased utilization of IVF. Although IVF has essentially replaced tubal surgery in patients with tubal factor infertility, laparoscopy is still used to correct certain problems in patients prior to undergoing IVF. Complications of laparoscopy are rare but can include injury to the bowel, bladder, and blood vessels; a need for laparotomy; and even death.

I recently had a laparoscopy and wa disgnosed with stage IV endometriosis. I am 25 and otherwise very healthy. My RE has recommended that we procede with IVF. Do you agree that this is our best (and possibly only) option?

No doubt that IVF is best choice in such cases. Have seen spontaneous pregnancies and could consided clomid/IUI in select patients who are Stage IV only because of an endometrioma but have normal tubes and no endo anywhere else....
Good luck.

I had my first IVF cycle recently..Couldnt go beyond egg retrieval coz my progesterone level was very high 3.53 even before eggg retrieval.I have one sided hydrosalphinx.Planning to undergo FET next month.Do you think I need laparoscopy and fix it before I proceed with FET to improve my chance of pregnancy??

We believe that a hydrosalpinx should be removed before any ET. I would discuss with your RE.
The specific concerns about laparoscopy should be discussed with your MD. Risks of this surgery are small but you need to discuss these with the surgeon not with me. Most patients are back to normal activities within a few days to a week.
Good luck

I was 20 when dx with Crohn's and had 8 surgeries to repair bowel perforations as well as infections. I am now 30 and show low progesterone levels but HSG test show no blockage. The RE said not to do the lap surgery since nothing can be fixed if I have a lot of scar tissue. He thinks the tubes and detached. My research is conflicted and I can't figure out if the surgery can actually fix anything. Is it worth it or should I only go straight to IVF? I haven't had any other fertility treatments in the 2 plus years of trying. Thanks- L

I recently had a laparoscopy and was found to be all clear, but I did bleed for a few days later. What I would like to ask is have this procedure does it effect your monthly cycle in any way as I was due a 3 days ago and I havent started as yet I did do a pregnacy test the day I was due but it was negative, so your advise would be appreciated.
- June 13, 2009 at 3:47 AM
From my HSG test my RE said and showed me that my Left tube appears to be blocked. He is recommending me have a laparoscopy so he can really know what the problem is. I would like to know if this is really necessary?

With the increase in popularity of myspace poker chips as a virtual currency in facebook texas holdem poker many phishers have engaged themselves, who try their best to trick unsuspecting players out of their hard earned facebook poker chips. All over the internet forums are littered with posts by innocent people who have had their chips stolen. Nothing is as sorry state as logging to Facebook or MySpace to play a few games of poker only to find that your account is hacked and your poker chips are gone.[/color]
[color=#336699]Keep these basic things in mind to protect your facebook poker chips:
Never give your password to a stranger: Trust is a delicate thing that takes a long time to build but only second to destroy. You may meet a pretending star in poker room and you are friends with him/her. He/she will keep interacting with you days before playing her trick. So be carefull enough to protect your login credentials to yourself, else this may lead to disaster.
Be careful about what you download: Regular online gamers are looking for cheats or hacks for the games they play in order to give them an edge on their opponents. Poker is no different and there are many sites on the internet touting facebook poker cheats and hacks for those brave enough to download and install them. But many of these so called facebook poker cheats have viruses or trojan programs. The moment you install any of these your computer is at the risk of attacks by the creator of the program. He can then have access to vital information that you access from your computer. Leaving your facebook poker account at risk of been hacked. If you never downloaded any of these programs then you're probably safe, and if you have then you should run a spyware detection program. The best move will be for get your computer formatted to avoid any loop holes.
Phishing Links: This way of hacking has been thee for quite sometime now. Theives send legitimate and official looking emails to your inbox. When you open them you are asked to click on the link and login in order to save your account or win free facebook poker chips, but in reality you are logging into a fake site that sends your information off to the hacker who made it. Before you find it out, its too late to react and they would have already broken into your account and emptied it of any facebook poker chips that you may have.
YouTube scams: If you do a search on youtube for facebook poker cheats, zynga poker hacks, or free facebook poker chips you'll find hundreds of videos on the topic. More than 90% of them are made by idiots hoping to convince you to send them your account information. They range from slightly clever to completely moronic.
Image Photo Having Exe Embedded In it: This one is hard to catch. This is the latest fashion that is used by hacker, you will be asked to share family photo's. When you open their photo, that will innitiate an exe in the background which will steal all your information and send to the mastermind behin it. So be careful with whom you share photos.
Hope these tips help you saving your chips.
These tips have been brought to you by [/color][url=http://www.chipshut.com]Chips Hut[/url][color=#336699] if you are looking to buy [/color][url=http://www.chipshut.com]facebook poker chips[/url], [color=#336699]you may go to our online store.

Dear Dr G, my situation is kind of complicated. I had a myomectomy & a wedge rescetion (spelling) surgery in Dec 2011. My gyn told me to ttc after 8 months and after performing an HSG which I did last year in OCtober. But even before that we've been ttc but no success until now. In January 2012 I went to see my gyn and I was told I have 6cm cyst on my right ovary. Not to foget, my periods have been regular since even before the surgery. However we have been trying since but no luck. What could be the problem. We have spent a lot already we are just disappointed each month. Plz advise.

Hi Anonymous (4/16/13)
Well seems like you should discuss options with a fertility MD. Maybe IVF would be best choice. Hopefully the cyst will resolve but if not then a laparoscopy may be reasonable....
Good luck

EarthLink, SK Telecom Team for New MVNO

Top message: so SK-EarthLink is gonna be another name in wireless? by janze4
Replying to: Re: so SK-EarthLink is gonna be another name in wireless? by viper
Re: so SK-EarthLink is gonna be another name in wireless?
viper said:
"Sprint actually has plenty of spectrum to spare, and even more after bringing on Nextel. That's why they've been bringing on MVNOs like crazy."
mostly true but let me add this. Sprint's data network, same deal for verizon, is uplink limited and both will be even after DO.
The uplink will pretty much slow to a grind after 3 to 4 "broadband" users are on it per cell unless the operator puts a cap on each user, which they are probably doing. Cingular's WCDMA HSDPA will have the same problem.
So they'll have to do something to deal with that uplink, for data not voice. Deploying more channels is the obvious solution but that is inefficient. Sprint had relatively few radio channels deployed per market.
where do you get that? cdma alowes for 10 users for each channel same with data. what you do not realize is the nature of cdma it breaks your call up into packets so oyu can fit 10 calls per channel now the 1x also uses packeted units for the data so they fit right in perfectly with the calls allowing 10 users per channel.
and as for limited uplink speed the current uplink speed is roughtly 144/230 that will also be the same for ev-do compate that to dsl wich has 128 and a lot of cable providers are still running 128 for uplink so how is that slow? espetually since there is no copper cable binding you to one spacific place. and it is definately better then wifi. wifi is usally so loaded down with useres that the access is little better then dial up. sure wifi works great with 1-2 users but you get 20 on there it starts to get realllllly slowwwwww

With luxury accommodation on the rise in New Zealand, a boutique hotel north of Kaikoura has branched out to reach new heights in luxury.
Hapuku Lodge has added five new rooms, each perched high in a canopy of manuka trees.
Lodge spokesperson Tony Wilson says the idea came from his childhood.
"We had a property with a lot of trees and we each had our own tree house that we would defend desperately against our siblings," he says.
Realising the only way of seeing both coast and mountains was from the treetops - and with five generations of architecture and design in the family - the Wilsons built the tree houses at their lodge.
But it was not an easy task.
"The way to do it was build them on the ground and get a very expensive crane to pick them up one by one. So we put the legs in the ground, and then we built the box on the ground, and then we picked the box up and put it on top of the legs," says Wilson.
The tree houses are all part of providing the ultimate regional experience for customers, but Wilson says despite all their overseas guests, it is their Kiwi visitors that have taken to the tree houses the most.
Asked if it is because tree houses play a bigger part in Kiwi
childhoods than other countries, he jokingly suggests that New
Zealand may be one of the few countries with any trees left to have
this luxury.
