Veronica Decides To Die
July 15, 2008 at 9:49 pm 2 comments
Title: Veronica Decides To Die
Author: Paulo Coelho
Language: English
"Veronika decides to die" is a relatively short novel, around 190 pages, so could easily be read in one sitting. However to really appreciate the messages that Paulo Coelho is trying to get across, I found it preferable to read the story in short segments at a time, allowing me to reflect more deeply on the story unfolding before me. Paulo Coelho is trying to teach the reader several things, whilst observing his own promise to reveal his personal experiences of a doctor-patient relationship into a mental hospital. Whilst teaching the reader, Coelho also delves into the standards to the mental hospitals and even touches on the boundaries of Doctors practise and how far they are allowed to go without requesting full consent from the patient in question.

This album immediately registers more as Afrobeat than any form of soul on my radar. I have to confess that my World Music cache is quite unimpressive. To be perfect honest, besides the random gems/jams in my catalogue, the only African musician that I am really familiar with is Fela Kuti. With that in mind I thought it might be helpful for me to use Kuti as a comparison specimen until I began to deconstruct what I was actually listening to and realized that I was being too literal for my own enjoyment.
My ear looks to recognize genre from an American perspective and I think I sometimes miss the nuances and just focus on the traditional, polyrhythmic percussion whose roots are traced back to West Africa. This album was released in 1966 in Lagos, Nigeria five years after both Nigeria and Ghana were granted their independence from Britain. Literally, what you're hearing is liberation music but technically what you are hearing is the lovechild of two different influences.
The first is a branch of Nigerian music called Highlife, supposedly West Africa's first popular music genre. This genre is most identifiable by it's guitar-based sound that Africanizes the European-influenced society bands and military marching bands. The next influence comes from the traditional worship music which incorporated 'kokoma' beats. An anecdote about Orlando Julius paints him following priests and worshippers around to their performances to observe and later mimic their music.
In 1964, Julius formed the Modern Aces and released their first single "Jagua Nana" the following year. When the soul from the States began invading the airwaves acts like Smokey Robinson, Otis Redding and the rosters of influential labels like Motown, Atlantic and Stax began being incorporated into Julius' sound.
Overall, it's an interesting listen with mild echoes of recognizable elements of American soul music but is obviously more closely linked with more traditional West African sounds. Definitely worth a listen.

Martin Health System
By Camille S. Yates and Scott Samples
For Progress & Innovation
Technology continues to advance quickly in the health care field with new treatment options and diagnostic tools emerging that can help physicians provide enhanced care. One local medical institution, Martin Health System (MHS), which provides a system of hospitals, wellness centers, surgicenters and medicenters serving Martin and St. Lucie counties, has invested in sophisticated medical technology in a wide array of fields.
MHS physicians have access to advanced diagnostic tools allowing them to not only detect diseases but to use cutting-edge technology to treat those ailments, too. "We constantly seek new innovations and technology that can help us continue to provide the best possible care for Treasure Coast residents," says Mark E. Robitaille, MHS president and chief executive officer.
Each year, the list of innovative technologies available at MHS grows. As an example, they have invested in the most sophisticated da Vinci surgical system available on the Treasure Coast, giving surgeons a new tool for gynecological surgeries and, soon, a variety of other surgical procedures.
The da Vinci technology precisely translates a surgeon's wrist and finger movements, providing them a fully articulated range of motion that is not possible with traditional laparoscopic surgery. High-definition, miniature 3-D cameras allow much greater visibility of the surgical field than ever before.
Since da Vinci surgery is much less invasive than less innovative procedures, a patient experiences a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery. There is also less pain, less blood loss, lower risk of infection and reduced scarring.
MHS is the only provider on the Treasure Coast offering endoscopic ultrasound which allows highly accurate visualization of the gastrointestinal tracts and surrounding areas using an ultrasound probe at the tip of an endoscope. The minimally invasive test enhances the viewing and biopsy of many cancerous and non-cancerous conditions affecting the throat, pancreas and digestive tract.
Not only does endoscopic ultrasound provide a well-defined, up-close image of a patient's internal organs, if necessary, the physician can conduct a biopsy at the same time on a suspicious area using fine needle aspiration under the guidance of the ultrasound.
MAKOplasty Partial Knee Replacement is another innovative technology that MHS has in place that allows orthopaedic surgeons to perform a minimally invasive partial knee resurfacing procedure for early to mid-stage osteoarthritis of the knee.
During a MAKOplasty procedure, surgeons utilize a robotic arm and a 3D virtual visualization system to facilitate optimal joint resurfacing and implant positioning. The system provides a CT scan of the patient's knee creating a three-dimensional live-action, virtual view of the patient's bone surface. As the surgeon uses the robotic arm, its tactile, acoustic and visual feedback limits the bone preparation to the diseased areas and provides for the best possible positioning and placement of the implant for each individual patient. A patient undergoing MAKOplasty has a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery.
For more information about these innovative medical technologies, visit martinhealth.org or call 866-361-HOPE (4673) for a physician referral.

Untold story of Anambra poly students, indigenes' bloody clash
The last has not been heard of the March 26 clash between the students of Federal Polytechnic Oko and youths of the host community.
The clash, which resulted in an impromptu holiday declared by the management of the polytechnic, has continued to generate a lot of heat between the people of the community and those of the polytechnic, culminating in the claim by the town's President-General, Mr. Cyprian Nwamuo, that the property destroyed by the students were in the region of N500 million.
It was gathered that the clash was triggered off by the Ifu Olu festival, (literally meaning preparing for the planting season), during which youths in masquerades attacked students with canes, machetes and other dangerous weapons before the students met on Monday and took a decision to protest the harassment.
As the students were protesting, the youths of the community, sources said, shot into the crowd, injuring no fewer than eight students. An expectant mother, who is also a student of the polytechnic, was said to have lost her three-month-old pregnancy.
The source also disclosed that about three female students were raped by the youths who barricaded the routes to students' hostels, forcing their way into their rooms and inflicting all manner of assaults on them.
Trouble was said to have started on March 25, 2012 when some masquerades attacked the HND Hostel located a few metres away from the community's major market.
Some students, it was gathered, were stabbed by the masquerades who wielded dangerous weapons. And when the Students' Union Government made an attempt to settle the problem, the President was beaten up and he reported the matter to the leadership of the community.
But before then, the masquerades were said to have unleashed different kinds of mayhem on the students and even some indigenes of the community, which caused tension before the March 25 attack on the students' hostel.
Sources said because of the attack on their president, the students converged the following day, which was a Monday, to assess the situation. There, they decided to march to the palace of the traditional ruler to register their grouse.
The youths of the village blocked the students when they were returning from the palace, provoking the clash in which several students were shot. The attack on the students became so intense that the management of the school decided to roll out about five of its coaster buses to evacuate students from the community with police escorts.
The Secretary General of Oko Community, Mr. Bomboy Onyeagba, who briefed the Rector and Council Chairman of the polytechnic immediately after the clash, said it was apparent that the masquerades were irresponsible, having violated instructions from the traditional ruler of the community that the masquerades' cultural activities should hold in February. He also hinted at possible infiltration of the masquerades by outsiders and neighbouring communities, adding that they even molested indigenes of the community.
He said: "There is a boy that has a shop over there. The mother works in the Deputy Rector's office. He lost his father a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, for no just reason, they came and broke his head. When the SUG President brought the report to the community, we shared his grief. I saw blood oozing out from his elbow. Around 4 am the following day, I had a call that the crisis was brewing. I called the SUG President and he confirmed it, but I asked him to calm the students so that we would find a way out."
He disclosed that he got information that the youths of the community retreated when the Police arrived, with the intention of wreaking more havoc on the students who lived in the interior parts of the town, adding that with the help of the anti-cult group, those students in the interior were brought safely to the polytechnic.
"I want to thank the Rector and the polytechnic community for the patience. You see, we share this moment of sorrow. It is like my house is being destroyed. I am down with tears. But please whatever it is, let us pray that by the measures put in place, we don't see it reoccurring again," Onwuagba said.
To unravel the cause of the clash, the chairman of Orumba North Local Government, Hon. Emeka Aforka, and the Rector of the polytechnic, Prof. Godwin Onu, instituted two different panels of enquiry with the mandate to unravel the cause and prevention of clashes between the students and the host community as the terms of reference.
After attending a few sittings at the panel, the Oko community withdrew from the panel, citing imbalance in the constitution of the committee. They also gave other conditions, which included unconditional release and discharge of all the villagers who were arrested by the Police at the scene of the clash, especially in connection with the shooting of students.
They also wanted the Chief Security Officer of the polytechnic, Mr. C harles Ezeh, the Anti-Cult Director, Mr. Khaki Abdullahi, and the Legal Adviser, Mr. Stanley Okafor, out of the panel. They also want to produce the secretary of the panel, while the polytechnic produces the chairman. The community in the same letter of withdrawal said: "Unless these conditions are met, we will not guarantee the security and safety of the students when they return."
However, the institution was summoned to a meeting by the community's leadership after the incident. And where the polytechnic conceded to the demands of the community and asked the community to drop Hon. Okonkwo Okom from the panel because of his inciting utterances, the community rejected the request and then adjourned the meeting.
It was gathered that immediately after the meeting, the indigenes started blackmailing the polytechnic community, claiming that the students vandalised property estimated at about N500 million, saying that without the students paying for it, none of them would return to the community.
The youths of Oko community also took to the streets a day after the deadlocked meeting, chanting war songs against the polytechnic and the Police. But for the rapid response by the Anambra State Police Command, led by Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mr. John Nwele, the situation would have degenerated into another assault on the institution.
Some of the youths, sources disclosed, used the opportunity to break into some of the students' hostels and looted some of their property and personal belongings before security operatives caught up with some of them.
The Rector, Onu, while briefing the Local Government Chairman who came to assess the situation immediately after the clash, said his main concern was to ensure the safety of the students, which he said resulted in the immediate evacuation of the students to nearby towns, including Ekwulobia, Awka, Nnewi and Onitsha to prevent further attacks on the students by the villagers.
He said if the students were not evacuated, the villagers would continue to attack and maim them in the night because they reside in the villages, adding that he beefed up security around the polytechnic to prevent the villagers from attacking the polytechnic as they had threatened several times.
Onu also promised to foot the bills of all the students who sustained injuries during the clash, adding that the polytechnic's medical unit was attending to some of the victims.
Aforka, after banning masquerades from the council, inaugurated a panel of enquiry to ascertain the cause of the crisis and find ways of preventing future occurrence.
But some of the people, who spoke to reporters, said such clashes were becoming a recurring decimal, with students of the polytechnic paying reparation fees to the community.
One of them, Chuks Anene, a resident of Oko, recalled that in 1996, there was a similar clash when the vigilance group of the community was fond of harassing and brutalising students on trumped-up charges, which forced the students to go on the rampage.
"It was called the Aburi riot. Aburi was like the Chief Security Officer of the community. He was said to have intimidated, tortured and victimised students ,which resulted in the riot during which part of his house was torched,''he said.
He disclosed that at the end of the day, the students were made to pay about N3,600 each as reparation for things destroyed, adding that in 2001 another clash occurred between the students and the villagers where the students paid about N5000 each as reparation.
"I believe that it was those reparations the students were being made to pay that propelled some villagers to molest and provoke the students, knowing that at the end of the day, the students would be asked to pay. If you see the level of animosity exhibited by the villagers during this reprisal attack, it showed that they had pent-up hatred for the students. I wonder why a right-thinking person would shoot at students who were not armed."
It will be recalled that a day before the matriculation ceremony, a delegation from the community, led by the President General of Oko Peoples Union, Nze Cyprian Nwamuo, paid a visit to the polytechnic.
Top on their agenda was to clarify the rumour of a plan to relocate some departments to Ezira, a nearby community, which Onu dispelled and assured of his resolve to uplift the polytechnic.
It was at the end of the visit that the youth leader of the community, Chime Ezeokoye, told the polytechnic that the youths had earlier planned to disrupt the 28th matriculation ceremony slated for the following day, but that the Rector's clarification had doused the ensuing bitterness from the youths.
Anene further said he was not surprised that 12 days after the visit, the youths, under the guise of ifu olu festival, started attacking the students and raping some of the female ones. He added that on several occasions, they beat up the President of the Student Union Government who came to rescue the student victims.
It was also gathered that earlier efforts by Prof. Ekwueme to stop the festival did not succeed. Another spirited effort by some members of his cabinet to streamline the festival by numbering masquerades for the sake of identification was also rebuffed by the youths, who protested at the palace of the monarch on the first day of the festival.
The Students' Union Government, led by its President, Comrade Henry Nwaebilnei, in an interview with newsmen, commended the management of the polytechnic for the manner the crisis was handled. They said they were highly impressed at the immediate evacuation of students in the heat of the crisis and the swift invitation of security operatives to protect the students against further attacks by the youths of the community.
Nwabineli also noted that the central public address system and the bulk short message service ( SMS) which the school used to disseminate information was remarkable, adding that the immediate and compulsory Easter break also saved the situation.
The students' head also lauded the management of the polytechnic for the immediate setting up of a panel of enquiry to look into the matter, adding that the concessions the polytechnic made to the community for the sake of peace, especially the dissolution of the existing panel, was a welcome development.
He noted that the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) at all levels had intervened in the crisis because they were unhappy at the molestation of students by the community.
He regretted that some of their female colleagues were raped, while one of them lost her pregnancy during the crisis. He lamented that many of the students sustained machete injuries while others were shot by the youths of the community.
According to him, it was unfortunate that those trigger-happy men who shot the students were being charged for unlawful possession of firearms instead of attempted murder.
"The community should be happy with the students at least for generating income for them and bringing development and social activities to their community. I am surprised that fathers and mothers in the community who should take students as their kids will be molesting and harassing them," the students' leader stated.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka, earlier confirmed the arrest of some suspects who shot at the students, adding that they had been charged to court.
Meanwhile, the OPU insists that without the release of the arrested youths, there will be no peace talks. The body said the detention of the youths was not in good faith as no student was arrested during the clash.
OPU also blamed the students for the clash, saying that the SUG incited the students to go on the rampage.
He said: "It is very unfortunate that it happened. There was tension on this matter and we have been trying to quell it for a very long time. But they said that masquerades went into a compound and beat some people up. The Students' Union Government used the opportunity to call for a congress and incited the students to go on the streets."
He put the property and other valuable items destroyed at about N500 million.
But peace seemed to be gradually returning to the town with the reconstitution of a 22-man panel of enquiry on the matter to accommodate the demands of the community.
The panel, which was inaugurated on Wednesday by the Rector of the polytechnic, was expected to submit its report in a week's time. They are to look at the remote and immediate causes of the clash and find ways of preventing a future occurrence.
The panel is made up of six Oko indigenes, six members from the polytechnic, six students and four others and will be chaired by Ben Ajakemo. The community, led by Okonkwo Okom, is to produce the secretary of the panel.
Inaugurating the panel, Onu urged them to give all the parties fair hearing and use wisdom in submitting its report, so that the report will not be another source of controversy. He said the polytechnic would provide the logistics to ensure that the panel concludes its sitting in time.
Responding, Ajakemo assured that the panel would not disappoint. He promised to ensure equity and fair play, adding that the panel would submit its report in a record time.
But in another development on Thursday, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) called for the relocation of the Polytechnic to a friendlier town.
In a press briefing at Awka, NANS Coordinator for Zone B, Comrade Nwankwo Ezekiel and the Country Representative for West Africa Students Union, Comrade Sheriff Zadok, said they had been "monitoring with keen interest, the events as they unfold at Oko.
"We have also mobilised Nigerian students across the zones to be ready to resist any attempt by any group or individuals to impose any levy of any magnitude as reparation or whatever name they may choose to call it. Considering that a virile society is built under the frame work of peace, unity of purpose and progress, anything short of this fundamental principles will prove chaotic, anarchical and retrogressive. We therefore urge everybody to ensure the safety of Nigerian students in Oko whenever they resume."
They, therefore, called on the Minister of Education, Prof. Ruquayatu Rufia, to waste no time in sending a proposal to the Federal Executive Council for immediate relocation of the Oko Campus of the Federal Polytechnic to another town that will be ready to receive and treat the Nigerian students as their own.
Commending the Rector for the prompt evacuation of students, NANS noted: "The result of the riot was destruction of property by some students and the indigenes. Students were hunted by indigenes like hunters chasing wild animals. Students' lodges were burgled. Students were dispossessed of valuables. Now, we hear that indigenes who carried out the destruction are praying for the payment of millions of naira as reparation. And as such, we the apex body of Nigerian students will not take or tolerate it."

I won't lie. First and foremost, I bought this for the gorgeous bottle. I like Britney, I like her scents, and this one was less than $20 and was cute. It sounded pleasing, note-wise, and I figured I'd give it a shot.
It IS pleasing---a fresh, juicy, watermelon & citrus-sugar blast. Not overly sweet---very fresh, light, and really nice. My only problem is that it has the longevity of a body spray. 6-8 spritzes only lasted me about an hour before disappearing completely. I imagine this would be lovely sprayed all over the body (chilled) on a very hot summer day. But for me, life is too short for short-lived scents. The BFF loves watermelon, I think I'll gift it to her. :D

Fantasy Island slightly disappoints me. It's mostly a sour citrus on me, I really hoped I would get more of a distinctive watermelon, instead it is extremely watery and overpowered by the citrus. The watermelon does become slightly more noticeable as the initial blast of citrus fades. I still like the smell of the fragrance, it's just not what I expected it to be.
Longevity is absolutely dreadful on my skin when I only spray it once. It will only stay noticeable for a longer period of time when I put it on the inside of my elbows or clothes. I also sprayed it on my wrists, but I couldn't smell it anymore after just 30 minutes. I've had eau de toillete that lasted a lot longer than that, so that's no excuse either. When I apply 2 or more sprays to my wrist the scent does actually stay put a lot longer, it will linger around for about 6 hours.
Fantasy Island is a really nice scent for warm summer and spring days. Whenever I wear it I will just overspray it, otherwise it would barely even be noticeable. I find myself reaching for it quite often. Once the sour stage has passed this really is a pleasant smell.

Husband surprised me with this scent for Mother's Day because he thinks it smells "HOT"...hehe. I surprisingly think it's very pretty and great for summer as it has a light, fresh presence. I smell melon, citrus, some floral and aquatic notes. I could envision wearing this while on a beach vacation whilst wearing a white cotton sundress and sandals. I can't imagine a Britney fragrance to have loads of staying power but we'll see --- I'll have to update when I know more :) UPDATE: This has the staying power of a drugstore body spray -- what a shame as I really like to wear this in the hot months of the year. It is very affordable so I guess I'll just keep the cute aqua bottle in my purse and reapply often.

I have been wanting this forever, specifically because the bottle is so pretty. Finally found it at Marshall's for $20 and tried it out. I like it a lot! I didn't fall head over heals for it but I do like it. It smells very citrus-y and lemon-y, mixed with Hawaiian flowers.Like lemon-lime with hibiscus flowers or something, with an ocean splash in there. I was hoping something called Island Fantasy would smell more like mangoes or coconut, pineapple and bananas (I am still in search of a cocounut/banana/pineapple smell, so if you have suggestions please let me know) but this is nice. It is fruity but aquatic, like smelling a summer breeze on the beach in a tropical place. It is a happy scent but not a stunning, knock your socks off scent. The bottle is just lovely. I enjoy many of Britney's scents.

I dont know what happened to this fragrance. It was supposed to be the summer block buster of 2013 and i have not even seen it in any stores. It would have been perfect for summer. It is not the usual Fantasy that smells like a cupcake or cake. Island Fantasy is citrus all the way. When i first spray it on i smell total watermelon. The watermelon lasts a long time but eventually fades to what i detect as pineapple. I checked the notes of Island Fantasy and pineapple is not listed as a note. I think the sugar cane note keeps it from fading to fast and being overly citrusy. Also, Island Fantasy isnt anymore citrusy than any citrus men's fragrance that is on the market so it would also work as a guy's fragrance too. Maybe slightly a bit floral like maybe jasmine but not too floral, a little musky and that's it. I got a compliment on it today so that was nice also and I'm changing my rating from 4 to 5 lippies. I love this fragrance and I think you will too.

I heard rumors of a new addition to the Fantasy line and I finally saw it at Kohl's. I do not think this matches the rest of the line since it's not sweet. I feel like Elizabeth Arden should have released this on its own.On my skin, its a light citrus scent with a cucumber note. The dry down reminds me of the discounted Blu Girl fragrance. I believe that this is a nice scent, but not special or well liked enough for me to add to my perfume stash.I will not purchase.

The mandarin is the strongest fruit note on me and, and coupled with the raspberry, gives the fragrance a soft, fuzzy feel. The lemon gives the quieter fruit a bit of bite and energy.
The floral notes used in ISLAND FANTASY remain watery and in the background. There is a breeze of orange blossom, freesia and occasional hint of violet underneath it all, but none of the floral notes are truly strong enough to stand out from the fruits for long. This is definitely a fruity perfume.
There is no strong indication between the heart notes and the base, thanks to the constant trickle of summery fruits. I'm sure there is some sandalwood here, as after a few hours ISLAND FANTASY begins to remind me of J.Lo Love & Glamour, which uses bucket loads of it. I also detect a coconut scent too.
Official Scent notes: citruses, mandarin, clementine, red berries, jasmine, violet, freesia, musk and sugar cane.
Overall: ISLAND FANTASY is pleasant and easy to wear. I'll mainly stick to wearing it on casual days, but you could get away with wearing it to work if you wanted to. ISLAND FANTASY does go close to the skin fairly quickly, but a faint woody scent is still detectable five hours later. So yeah; this is quieter and doesn't wear as long as the rest of the Fantasy line, so beware of that.

Product description was accurate and it performs as intended.

Ordering and shipping was easy and delivery on time. The product is of an excellent quality durable material and covers the seat adequately. Previously I had been using blankets or sheets. The hair from my labrador retriever would never wash out so I was throwing them away. The Kurgo is a much better alternative and at a very affordable price.

Why do guys act distant when they give off signs of attraction?
My guy friend knew I liked him but he said he wasn't interested in anyone although he had acted interested. After he knew I liked him, he and I for... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
personally I think he likes you, but too afraid to show it.. see if he thinks you are stunningly beautiful he might be afraid to speak his mind and confess his feeling because he might think he'll scare you away if he does, so he's trying to show that he's all together but really every time your around him his world just stops and you are the only person he wants to be with.
But then why would he say that he wasn't interested before?
maybe to hide his true feelings because you said he acted interested, so why act interested and look at you when your not looking and all that if he doesn't harbor any feelings towards you?
Okay, yeah, makes sense. And frankly, I thought it was, too, but it's like '...there's no way..."
What Guys Said 5
Its hard to tell a girl you like her without trying to come off as desperate. there a strong possibility he doesn't know your feelings for him. hence he is playing safe & trying to play cool like nothing going on.we fear that even if we like the girl she might not like us hence she not reciprocate & the friendship is over
He does know I have feelings for him. I don't know if he /still/ knows I do.
Yea I'd agree with him thinking that he's being too desperate and kind of trying trying to distant himself now. If you do like him and want this to go further maybe like give him some assurance? Try saying some cute things dunno.
I've tried contacting him but he just gets really shy and it's like he doesn't want to talk.
- Show Older Hide Older
We did hang out recently... initiated by him, indirectly, although he claimed he was "busy" and such.
I mean, how was he too desperate? And the hang out was also, too, because I made the comment I feel like we never hang out, but he was the one who suggested we should.

Denver Development Test
Mommy to Everett 9/13/07 and Anderson 8/16/11
Comments (6)
My old ped's office did this....it was a list of questions that you answered about your LO...I think it was something like when you got to three "no's" you stopped answering questions... things like, "does your child try to grab toys?" "Does your child make eye contact?"...I am using those as examples only.... it was simple yes/no questions such as those.... Each month that you answered the questions, your LO should have had yes's on more.... My new peds office (same dr.) does not use this.... I never found it very useful...They pretty much had us fill it out, and then put it in their file...
Me, 35, DH, 33
Jack and Colin, age 6...Ryan, age 4...and our little princess, Delainey, just turned 1 in August!
My old peds office never used this questionair. I had been taking my kids to them for almost 3 years. We have recently relocated and the new peds office I started taking my kids to use it. According to the answers I gave my son, who is 3, was referred to Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist for further testing. He has been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder formerly known as "sensory integration dysfunction". I expressed concerns about certain milestones being delayed with the previous pediatrician and I was told he is just a "Very active child who may have some sensitivities". I'm so glad things have been caught in time to help my son.

My dr gave us this test at the first appt. It's a great test to make sure that your baby is developmentally on track. If you ever get a hold of one(ask your ped for one) there is a number to the right of the developments. The first column shows that 75% of babies can do this by the number and the second one is 90% of babies can do the task by that number. The number represents their age. For example, the number might be 3.2 which means 3 1/2 months. And yes, you circle until you get three no's. I couldn't find much online about it so I asked for a copy of the test when I went last time. My daughter has been a little behind in some areas and I wanted to know what tasks we should be working on. There were some I didn't know if she could do or not, such as "following an object the size of a pea 180 degrees" or "Reach for an object if it is laying within reach" so I couldn't honestly answer! My DD still doesn't "squeal" and she is almost 5 months old and the dr. wasn't worried and that was one of the questions that all babies should be able to do at 4 months.
When I taught Headstart we did the Denver on our little guys, but I never knew there was an infant one!
Developmental Pediatricians do this. It's part of their training and philosophy. There's nothing really special about it since all Pedi's should be screening for appropriate development in some medically acceptable fashion. The Denver is just a tool marketed to developmental specialists and daycares have picked it up too because it is standardized and you can keep it in a child's file as evidence of a standardized screening measuring development. It's not really all that important whether or not your Pedi uses it, but it is helpful if you LO has a delay.

great light for the money 8/8/2014
Reviewer: E in Minnesota
I had previously had four T5s on my reef tank with fish and soft corals. The coral would start to suffer when the T5s were getting older (5 to 6 months). i have had this LED in place on a 54 gal bow fron for about 3 weeks, my corals began to respond instantly, the light is so realistic I had to cehck a few times to make sure actual sun light was not hitting my tank (i have a window near by). I was worried if my tank would be too deep. not a problem at all. Very happy with my purchase and definately recommend this light.
Excellent 5/1/2013

It is a fantastic light and makes the tank look great. The built in timer is a big plus.
Exceeds Expectations 7/15/2012
Reviewer: Breitak67
I have seen a number of LED-based products and have never been overly impressed. This one is great. I was immediately impressed with the brightness and the whiteness of the light. It lights my 45g tank brilliantly. My only complaint is that it runs hot and the AC adapter brick runs very warm as well.

Full detailed profile on Dr. Monica Quartermaine Played by Leslie Charleson on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Leslie Charleson (ABC)
Birthday: February 22, 1945
At General Hospital, the children gather to hear the Christmas story. Suddenly the lights in the hospital flicker and Dr. Obrecht shows up dressed like a monster. Patrick and Nikolas confront her and she explains she is educating the children about Krampus. She gathers everyone around for the story about Krampus, a Christmas monster who eats bad little children. All the children scream at the story, all but Joss who loves it. Nikolas puts an end to Krampus and has Monica bring out Santa for the kids. Sam arrives with Danny and she locks eyes with Jason/Jake. Meanwhile Patrick talks with Elizabeth. She asks him to drop Cameron off after the party so she and Jake can slip out and set-up Cameron's present. Elizabeth then quickly prevents Jake and Sam from having words. She steals Jake away. Sam then goes to talk to Patrick. Patrick surprises her with a gift, a keychain for all her silly putty keys she makes while on the job. They later share a kiss under the mistletoe. Elsewhere, Obrecht sees Nathan up and around and thinks he should be in bed. He scolds his mother for her scary tale, but thanks her for making it possible for Maxie to see her daughter. He asks how she got the judge to change his mind? Obrecht remembers going to Monica and threatening to replace her as chief of cardiology if she didn't get the judge to change his mind. Obrecht tells Nathan she simply motivated Monica. Nathan returns to his room and gets a video call from Maxie and Georgie. She says this is the best Christmas she's ever had. Obrecht soon joins Nathan and sees a screen shot of Maxie and Georgie. He thanks Obrecht again and says, "Merry Christmas Mom." Obrecht cries and then begins singing "The First Noel." Elsewhere the judge shows up at the hospital to see Monica. She remembers having to withhold affection from the judge in order to make him reverse his decision. Monica still wonders why he was so harsh with Maxie, and she thinks it has to do with his own daughter Kayla. It turns out the judge had a troubled daughter who he always bailed out and never punished. His daughter ended up dying in an accident after drunk driving one night. The judge didn't want Maxie to go through life breaking all the rules like Kayla.
At the Quartermaine mansion, Michael reveals he is changing his name to Quartermaine and proclaims they are his only family. Monica is thrilled, especially when Michael asks to move into the mansion. Ned also welcomes Michael into the family. Michael promises to live up to AJ's name and get this company back on top of its game, especially after Tracy tried to destroy it. Tracy and Michael trade insults. Michael says Tracy put this family and the company at risk all for Larry Ashton. Larry says Jerry Jacks abducted him as well, but Michael suspects that Larry could be working with Jerry as a spy. Michael wonders what else besides Larry's title is phony about him. Larry attacks Michael when Shawn walks in and breaks them up. Shawn delivers the recording to Michael as Sonny promised. Later Michael and Monica listen to the recording and console one another. However they are happy that they can finally prove that AJ didn't kill Connie.
On the terrace at the Quartermaine estate, Larry chats with Jerry on the phone about pulling the wool over the family's eyes. Larry says he needs time to get a larger share. Alice interrupts. "Hobson?" he asks, confusing her with Dobson. He wonders if she's a man in drag. She quizzes him about his conversation. He chuckles. Inside, Monica walks into the sitting room and curses Sonny to Tracy and Ned. He's sure Sonny won't get away with murder this time. Larry and Alice enter. Alice takes Monica off, leaving Larry to bicker with the others. Lord Ashton wants to discuss saving ELQ from its CEO and his bad publicity. He suggests that Tracy take the job. She likes that idea. As she talks about getting rid of Michael, he strolls in. Monica runs in to fuss over him. Michael announces that he wants to be known as Michael Quartermaine from now on.
Patrick pops up at the Quartermaine estate. He tells Tracy he's looking for some answers from her ex. Upstairs, Larry stumbles around drunkenly and crawls into bed with Monica. She wakes up and screams. Tracy and Patrick rush in. Monica demands to know what is going on. They head downstairs as Tracy explains the situation. Larry keeps getting everything wrong. Patrick questions him about Jerry and Luke. Larry explains he was kidnapped but the doctor wonders if he was plotting with Jerry. Ashton gets offended. Tracy offers to wring the truth out of the 'booze bag'. Patrick leaves as Ned arrives. He wants to ship his dad to a hotel but Tracy needs to keep an eye on him. Ned offers to take responsibility for his father. Monica is okay with that. Ned worries he's going to live to regret this. Larry shuffles back upstairs with some booze. Once he's alone, he calls Jerry and explains that phase one went as planned.
Monica visits Jason's gravestone in the family crypt. Alice shows up. Monica sniffles as she talks about her relationship with her son. She'd give anything to have part of him back. Alice tries giving her a pep talk and assures her Jason must have loved her. Monica doesn't feel like she was a good enough mom to protect her boys. Later, Sonny shows up to speak to Jason's grave. He hopes that he can somehow reach out to Carly and tell her she's making a mistake. Suddenly, the crypt door opens and Sonny is shocked by who he sees.
Inside the Quartermaine mansion, Tracy tells Ned that she wants his shares of ELQ. She wants them, along with Brooklyn, to chip in to give Jerry what he's asking for so Luke will go free. He doesn't think his grandfather would approve and neither would Michael. They bicker about this. Ned doesn't give a damn about Luke and walks out. Monica and Alice walk in. When they spot Tracy, Monica tells her she's not welcome. Tracy tells them about the Luke problem. Monica won't turn the company over to the man who killed Alan. Tracy tries Alice, who agrees to help Mr. Luke. A call comes in from Luke's phone as Lulu arrives. Out in the garden, Julian challenges Alexis to tell him she really wants Ned. She can't trust him and accuses him of being in cahoots with Jerry. He assures her knows nothing about the hostage taking and eventually admits he's had dealings with Jerry over the years but it's been awhile. Ned pops up with security. Before they can boot Julian out, he warns Alexis to stay away from Jerry and leaves. Alexis tells Ned how terrific he is. As they hug, Olivia comes around the corner.
At the Metro Court restaurant, Monica's date Judge Walters stops by Maxie and Nathan's table. He read about what happened to them and asks Maxie if she stopped to think what impact her death might have on her child. She's always thinking about Georgie but he says her choices have impact on her character. Nathan calls him out for blaming the victim. Walters thinks Maxie is flaunting her relationship with a man who lied in the court, and if she hopes to see her daughter again she'll have nothing more to do with Nathan. Meanwhile, Ned joins Monica at her table and tells him about her internet date. He's proud of her for putting herself out there and says he's doing a little dating himself, with Alexis. Olivia appears and thinks they are on a date together. She offers to get them something, but Ned scoots off to get his own table and Olivia realizes how wrong she is. She tells him he needs to take Alexis to see "The Equalizer" but he knows she doesn't do blockbusters. Olivia would go with him again - if it was okay with Alexis. Alexis arrives, orders a martini from Olivia and tells Ned what she had to say isn't important anymore. Walters returns to Monica and they make a second date. By the elevator, Maxie fumes about having her personal life dictated. Nathan won't be the reason she won't see Georgie. This isn't what he wanted but they have to go their separate ways.
At the hospital, Franco reels from seeing that Carly's in bed with Sonny. Nina suggests he delete the app as he smashes things. Nearby, Monica tells Silas she has dinner plans tonight, and talks to him about saving Danny. She goes on about Jason loving the boy and mentions Sam. Silas tells her they're no longer together. Monica's sorry. She suggests he try the online dating like her. Silas says he already has a wife. In the trauma area, Liz is there when Jason awakens. She offers him water and explains he was in an accident. He remembers. She tells him here he is and asks his name.
At the hospital, Nina rants about Ava and then gawps as she and Franco hear Sonny's admission about A.J. Franco grins. Nina says this is huge. Franco says what's huge is having proof. Franco sits down heavily as Sonny tells Carly they have deep love and they start making out again. When they hear Carly yell for Sonny not to stop, Franco tells Carly he thinks it's time to remind them of his 'crazy'. In the trauma room, Liz tells Jason that she'll be right back. She brings a doctor. Jason says he remembers something and calls Elizabeth by name. Liz asks if he means her. He says yes and flashes back. Liz reassures him about his memory. He gets another flashback and then blurts the name 'Jake'. By the nurses' station, Silas tells Monica her date is a lucky guy. They get on a first-name basis and Silas teases her not too have too much fun on her date. Later, Silas is stunned to see Nina, who has chased after Franco, standing in the corridor. He asks her, "What the hell is going on?"
At the restaurant, Monica arrives and meets her date – Judge David Walters. They joke about having Googled each other and agree it's been fun conversing and finally meeting up. They discuss their dead spouses and busy careers. David looks over at Nathan and Maxie. Nearby, Nathan orders steak and Maxie orders a vegan meal. Talk turns to Levi and Maxie doubts herself. Nathan reassures her. Later, as Nathan asks if Maxie wants dessert, David Walters appears and suggests they get the check.

Singing as loud as they could, waving white hankies and swaying with a rocking band, the 20,000 people who jammed into the Mother of God sanctuary hammed it up for TV cameras and shed tears down their cheeks as their superstar priest waved to them from the pulpit. An estimated 30,000 other people had gathered outside, where young boys climbed up into nearby trees trying to get a glimpse of the church grounds as they squinted over a sea of heads streaming out of the sanctuary.
"We have problems, everyone has problems," worshipper Zuleima de Oliveira Sales said as she stood in the tightly packed sea of people under the soaring blue roof of the structure, her voice choking. "They don't come to an end, but I have faith, I have faith in Our Lady."
That's the sort of belief the Catholic Church is counting on in Brazil and other developing nations. Leaders from the Vatican on down are looking to them as bulwarks against losses in Europe and the U.S., where sex abuse scandals have inspired many people to leave the church. About half of the world's Catholics live in Latin America.
Pentecostalism was once seen as a major threat to Brazil's Catholic Church. Pentecostal churches, many of them founded by U.S. evangelicals, saw their membership double to more than 12 percent of the country's population over the 1990s, with about half of the congregants estimated to be former Catholics.
During the 1990s, Brazil's economy suffered from hyperinflation and other woes, and Pentecostal churches aggressively recruited in the slums and poor outskirts of Brazil's cities by offering nuts-and-bolts self-improvement advice as well as Christian ministry.
Since 2003, however, Pentecostal churches have seen growth slow. The percentage of Brazilians calling themselves Pentecostals edged up from 12.5 percent of the population to 13.3 percent.
Yet the Catholic Church has continued to lose parishioners, and church leaders have had little success so far in halting that trend.
Brazil was the first nation outside Europe that Pope Benedict XVI visited, during a five-day tour in 2007 largely aimed at stopping losses in Latin America. During the trip, the pope canonized Brazil's first native-born saint.
Then Benedict announced last August during the church's World Youth Day, which drew 1.5 million people to Spain, that the next version of the gathering would be held in Rio de Janeiro in 2013. The pope is expected to attend.
For now, Rossi hopes his big church will bring together tens of thousands of faithful for every Mass, giving new energy to the Catholic faith.
"People want big spaces. They want grand places for prayer," he told the Globo TV network. "One candle illuminates, 10 candles illuminate — and 100,000 candles light up so much more."

Groton - The Poquonnock Bridge Fire District board of directors approved a budget Thursday that calls for spending 40 percent more than the current year's budget, and requires a corresponding increase in the tax rate, according to preliminary figures provided by a board member.
Figures were not final, but the budget was expected to rise from about $4.67 million to $6.24 million, board member Peter Legnos said.
He said there could be slight changes and estimated that the tax rate would rise from the current 5.9 mills to 8.3 mills, if the budget were approved.
The fire district will hold a meeting at 7 p.m. May 16 in the Groton Senior Center for district residents to vote on the spending plan.
At 5.9 mills, Poquonnock Bridge has the highest tax rate of the nine fire districts in Groton. The next highest is the City of Groton, at 4.59 mills, followed by Center Groton, at 3.5 mills.
The budget also anticipates turning the Fort Hill station into a volunteer department. It includes $42,600 to train 10 volunteers and $77,000 to buy clothing and protective gear.
"The intention is to restore volunteers so that by attrition, as people leave, we can reduce the need for paid staff and supplement it with a good, strong volunteer organization," Legnos said.
He said the department was forced to increase the budget partly because an auditor recently cited it for inadequately funding its liabilities.
"We are essentially insolvent," Legnos said. "Our auditor told us that at the last meeting."
To begin to turn things around, the board added $1 million toward unfunded pensions. The auditor had suggested $3 million by this time.
Helen Rush, who attended Thursday's meeting, said she wants paid firefighters. Rush said they were critical in responding to a fire last year at Laurel Glen Condominiums, an 80-unit complex where she is an association member.
"Because they were here, they responded immediately, and it saved us thousands of dollars," she said.
Rush said she also believes the district needs a ladder truck. The board declined a two-year contract offer from Groton City to supply a ladder truck to all structure fires.
Board member Alan Ackley said the district still would receive mutual aid from departments when needed.
Neighbors' concerns
Fire district meetings are typically sparsely attended but Thursday night's had about 25 people in the audience, including a former Groton town councilor who said she's been upset with what she's seen in the last year.
Deb Monteiro, who served on the council from 2007 until 2011, said every two months she hears about a new problem: the ladder truck doesn't work; the board won't recognize the union contract; the board, the chief and firefighters can't get along.
"My biggest concern is that the shenanigans are going to jeopardize the welfare of people who live in this district," Monteiro said. During her second council term, she was chairman of the council's public safety committee.
Monteiro began distributing a four-page list of concerns to neighbors about two weeks ago to educate people about the issues and let the board know taxpayers are watching.
Her list contends that the ladder truck has been out of service for more than 600 days; that the board has discussed scaling back fire department response to medical calls; and that it wants to dismantle the box fire alarms. Groton has 263 pull boxes, of which 131 are on district streets.
"It just seems like the district is being driven into the ground," Monteiro said.
The board decided Thursday to begin turning over the box alarms to an alarm service so they're no longer the responsibility of the department.
The Poquonnock Bridge Fire Department has a paid staff of 28 union firefighters and runs out of two stations, one each on Fort Hill and Long Hill roads.
The district covers 12 square miles, and the stations are positioned at the east and west ends of town. Poquonnock Bridge has not had any volunteer firefighters since 2005.
Deputy Chief Curt Floyd said during an interview earlier this week that he didn't know whether a volunteer department would work.
"Is it possible? I don't know. Probably," he said. "Will it work? I don't know. I think we have to talk about it."
He said despite the issues Poquonnock Bridge is facing, public safety is not at risk.
"Ultimately, the people in the fire district are safe," he said.

My pup Penny is 9 months old she is totally obsessed with reflections and shadows. I can"t get her to come in when she is in her obsessed mode , her tail wags and her body shakes as she tries to get these reflections. I have to close the blinds in the afternoon because of the sun shinning through. When she is outside she will come to the door because she knows that when I open it the sun will hit it and change the direction of the reflection. smart little pup. If she sees my husbands watch on his wrist she goes nuts waiting for him to move it she knows that this too will cause a reflection. Is this obsessive compulsive disorder and how can I stop this if at all possible, is this bad for her. Please advise I'm very worried for my Penny pup.

Rodney Purvis felt right at home at North Carolina State when it came time to make his college decision. He got to know the players on the current roster, and after learning about its new coach last season, Purvis wanted in. But for a while, he wasnt sure the NCAA would let him experience his dream of playing for the Wolfpack. Purvis had to wait as the NCAA went over his high school transcripts to make sure everything was on the up and up, and he was fully eligible. It was a stressful time for the 18-year-old, as he days seemingly grew longer as the wait continued. Sometimes the clock didnt even move. He was an excellent student at Upper Room Christian Academy, which made the delay that much more puzzling and frustrating. Purvis heard from many people, including some of the top college basketball analysts from some of the bigger networks, offering support. I was like, Dang, you guys must really like me or something, Purvis said, smiling. I dont know. Its not hard to like Purvis...

David Paul Gregg
|This article may be confusing or unclear to readers. (August 2014)
Dr. David Paul Gregg was the inventor of the optical disc (disk). Gregg was inspired to create the optical disc in 1958 while working at Californian electronics company, Westrex. He first patent for a "Videodisk" was filed in March 1962 (USPO 3350503) where he looks to advance electron beam recording and reproducing. Gregg went to work at 3M's Mincom division with experienced television videotape engineers Wayne Johnson and Dean De Moss. The three men subsequently filed patents to cover a disc recording system, a way to duplicate discs, and reproducing TV signals from photographic discs. When Mincom contracted Stanford's SRI to further the research, Gregg left and formed his own company Gauss Electrophysics. In 1968 the Gregg and Gauss patents were purchased by MCA which helped develop the technology further. His designs and patents paved the way for the Laserdisc, which helped with the creation of the DVD, compact discs, and MiniDisc. In 1963 he also invented a video disk camera which could store several minutes worth of images onto an optical video disk. There was no patent files for the camera and only little is known about it. Gregg died in November 2001.

Najwa Karam runs away to meet her lover
According to the London daily Elaph, the Lebanese artist Najwa Karam released a new album produced by the leading Arab production company Rotana and chose the song "Khalini Shofak" (Let Me See You) as the title for the new album. The song "Khalini Shofak" is written by Hussein Ismail and composed by Wisam Al Amir.
On May 29th and 31st Najwa had filmed the song that also holds the album's title "Khalini Shofak" into a video clip with the director Yehya Sa'deh, where it is considered to be their first project together.
The clip revolves around a local and romantic carnival that takes place at the historic gulf of Soor a city south of Lebanon. In the clip Najwa runs away night time to meet her love, because she doesn't want anyone to see them together. She had changed her clothes twice in the clip, but she wanted to look simple in her new picture. The new clip started airing on Rotana music channels since the 8th of June.

Anyway, after some convincing, she headed off to Citibank in 1989, where she had a front-row seat, in the early 1990s, to the value that private banking could bring to commercial real estate transactions during tough times. "Many banks, including Citibank in the real estate department, had shut down and reduced the financing," she said. "Private banking became the only place to get real estate loans, and so from 1990 to 1993, I had tremendous growth in my portfolio."
It was a period of growth for her business at Citibank, despite the difficult economic times. She stayed until 1995, when NationsBank recruited her away. "Then in 1997, NationsBank came to me and said, 'We just bought Montgomery Securities in California—it's a brokerage group, and we'd like you to go out and set up a loan production office there for us,'" she said. "I moved out there for 18 months, from 1997 to 1999, which was great. I was there for a tremendous amount of wealth being created for the IPO guys."
Still, New York had exerted its familiar pull, so when Bank of America merged with NationsBank on Sept. 30, 1998, she took the opportunity to move back East and return to New York to run Bank of America's private wealth management office in New York.
Related Companies' chairman and founder Stephen Ross said that it was around this time that he first met Ms. Vrablic and became a client.
"She brings knowledge—and the fact is that if she tells you something, you know it's going to get done," Mr. Ross said, when reached by phone. "We've really grown as a company, and me as a person, in terms of my business career. She's been there and seen it grow." He added that the majority of the real estate transactions Ms. Vrablic has secured for him have been for him personally, as opposed to Related Companies, which he founded in 1972. These included acquisition financing for land and properties and short-term cash.
Deutsche Bank called in 2006, and she left Bank of America.
With growth being a stated mission of the division, Ms. Vrablic said that she'd like to "add new names, new relationships every year"—ideally two new relationships, though each relationship can include several different clients. This was enough, she reasoned, to grow the portfolio of names while giving each the feeling she calls a "high touch."
"You want them to believe that they're the only client when they call up, and I think if you get too big, you can't do that," she said.
Asked what it is she likes about private banking, Ms. Vrablic didn't hesitate. "I think I have the best job in the whole world," she said. "I love my job, and if you love your job, you're probably really good at it." She most values the client relationships, she explained—the direct access to the decision-maker.
"We deal in relationships, so it's sitting across from someone and saying, 'So what's important to you? Tell me why you're doing this,'" she said. "That's what's interesting about my job. I take what the bank wants, because the bank has its requirements and their products, and the client has what they want and what they need. And I'm sort of the filter trying to make that happen. That's kind of fun, because I get the best and the brightest ideas from the bank, and I have the best and the brightest people that I deal with. And that's my job."
Ms. Vrablic's past clients include Observer Media Group publisher Jared Kushner.

I recently bought a few more of the games on my wish list. These were purchased from eStarland.com. After doing so I linked to said wish list and asked on Twitter if anybody could try and guess the three retail titles. Several folks tried, but all ultimately failed. The main reason for this, as I expected and was confirmed, was that none of them wanted to actually believe I'd really buy Avatar: The Game.
Well, as you'll see below I did exactly that. In fact, most had trouble guessing anything other than the big budget, high priced items on my wish list. Here's the list of titles and number of times guessed.
2 – Injustice: Gods Among Us
3 – DmC
3 – Tomb Raider (2012)
1 – Saints Row: The Third
1 – Far Cry 3
2 – Sleeping Dogs
4 – Assassin's Creed III
2 – Borderlands 2
1 – Crysis 3
2 – GoldenEye 007: Reloaded
2 – Max Payne 3
1 – Captain America: Super Soldier
1 – The Amazing Spider-Man
4 – non-retail
2 – The Tomb Raider Trilogy
2 – Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
0 – Avatar: The Game
This was all good fun. Now if you'll excuse me, I have more gaming awaiting me.

Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own risk)

Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Well, there is two new BSG video blogs up over at SciFi. I believe there's a thread started (somewhere here) that has a link. Anywho..., what's really cool is the "goo" one. We get to see a Cylon "rebirth" chamber. There's some footage of our favorite Six being "reborn" with the ZenaReporter there too. Lots of goo, semi-naked Six literally bathing in it and more goo.... That alone sounds like it's worth the price of admission. The other blog is more technical, really, showing some dude getting blown out a window (into space) after his ships corridor is shot up. Lots of discussion on practical effects vs. SFX and keeping things within budget ("taking the cheap way out").
Worth a watch.... If Six is being "re-born" in the scene, I wonder which version we're going to get? A Basic Six 1.0, Gina 2.0 or the one that's been in Baltar's head for most of the last two years? It seemed to me more like a CapricaSix, but it was hard to get a good feel for which version.
God, I love spoilers... I'm such a spoiler whore....
