A Sharp, Tearing Pain in the Abdomen
Page 1 of 3
"Nothing in medicine is black and white," you hear your colleague explain to one of the rotating medical students. She looks perplexed as he goes on to explain that there is an "art" to medicine and just because she learned how to evaluate and manage a certain type of patient presentation one way, doesn't mean there aren't other "right" ways to do it. The overeager medical student has her mouth half-open to retort back in response, when she sees you out of the corner of her eye subtly shaking your head to warn her to stop before she puts her foot in her mouth. You decide this would be a good opportunity to ask her to follow one of your senior residents as he gets ready to perform a bedside aorta ultrasound on another patient in the department.
The patient who needs the scan is a 56-year-old otherwise healthy female who presented to the ED with a chief complaint of "severe abdominal pain" after she finished lifting boxes of heavy books at her job the day before. She states her pain is worse with movement and is better when she lies still. She has never had pain like this before, and today, it is 10 out of 10 in severity. The pain is described as sharp and tearing, but it does not radiate to her chest or back. She has no other associated symptoms, and she has tried Ibuprofen without any relief.
Her vital signs are all completely within normal limits and her physical exam is only remarkable for tenderness to palpation over her left rectus muscles, and a seemingly pulsatile aorta palpable through her thin abdominal wall. She has no rebound or guarding on abdominal exam, and she has no other abnormal findings. Given her symptoms and her palpable aorta, your senior resident decides it would be prudent to do a quick scan of her aorta to make sure nothing catastrophic is imminent.
Your resident, with the medical student in tow, places the curvilinear probe on the patient's abdomen, just below the subxiphoid process and obtains the following image (top). After he scans through the aorta in this plane, he rotates the probe so that the indicator is pointing towards the patient's head and obtains this image (bottom).
What do you see on the images? Do you have an explanation for the patient's abdominal pain? Conclusion on NEXT page

Roland CY-8 Pads Getting Crappy
Getting some Cymbal choking when hitting, and some non-response on the bow. 2 different pads.
I know the fix on the old ones was to clean the edge sensor. But Roland 'Fixed' the design on the newer CY-8's so it seems almost impossible to peel back the rubber to get at the sensor. Its like they purposely made them unrepariable.
As far as the Piezo sensor, does anyone know what one they use? (Round disk.) It's a 27mm but I don't know if it is a 3.4Khz, 2.6Khz,or 2.0Khz. That's important to know, to get the right response. (I work with these sensors all the time, as an engineer) I've heard the Piezo sensor also gets dirty and causes issues, and that one IS accessible.
Re: Roland CY-8 Pads Getting Crappy
I have 2 CY-8s. They are crappy. Period. Do not waste time with them. It's not worth it. See if you can find some used Yamaha PCY series cymbals.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I'm Italian, I come from the windy city of Trieste, in the north-east of Italy, just a few kilometers from the border with Slovenia. I worked in Italy as a software engineer but the software industry was not very interesting at that time so I moved to California sixteen years ago, chasing the dream to work in the "Silicon Valley", or "heaven" as it's usually called by geeks around the world. I was hired to be a software engineer for Borland, at that time a very prominent company in the Valley. Sixteen years later I have established roots in the wonderful, artistic, city of Santa Cruz, just a few miles south of San Francisco.
How did you get started in the digital arts?
My background is in art, I studied at the Art Institute of Trieste. My father is a brilliant cartoonist and photographer so the visual arts have been part of my growing up. Just after I graduated from school I developed an interest in the emergent PC technology. This was in the early 80's, at the beginning of the PC revolution. A friend of mine showed me a modified Apple II and that was it! I got immediately hooked by the potential, the idea of having this incredible tool in the hands of everybody. I love technology that empowers people. I taught myself programming, first on IBM mini-mainframes and then on the IBM PC with languages like Turbo Pascal and Borland C++. It was a very exciting time. New software breakthroughs were happening daily, and there was a sense that we were changing the world.
When the Macintosh was announced it became clear that it was finally possible to merge technology and art together. Up to that point I tried to write code that was art but after the Mac it was clear that it was possible to make art *with* the computer. As machines became more and more powerful the first 3D modeling programs became accessible by the PC crowd and around 1999 I downloaded this program that at that time was grabbing the attention of 3D nerds everywhere: Blender. It was my first attempt to use 3D. Of course at that time we were all aware of what was possible with that technology because of "Jurassic Park" so the interest was really high. With Blender we were able to have one of those 3D programs on a PC without having to ask for a loan from the bank!
What is your background in the industry?
I kept playing with Blender on and off but it was a 2004 article about creating Poser morphs with ZBrush that re-kindled my interest in 3D modeling. I bought my copy of Poser 5 and ZBrush and I never stopped playing with 3D since then. As I said, I love technology that empowers people so, in 2009, while I was looking to get professionally involved with 3D, I thought that a good way to get there would be to provide good training about Blender. I made a series of thirteen videos titled "The Blender Survival Guide". This guide was meant to provide the starting point for people with no knowledge about Blender and to make them able to use this incredibly powerful program. In the course of making the BSG I discovered Lux. It was at that point that I realized what a great combination it would be to have Lux connected with all the thousands of products made for Poser and Studio. So, the Reality for Studio project idea was born. In August of 2010 I was finally able to release the first version and the response has been simply phenomenal. So, I'm quite happy to say that now I can make a living with the merging of art and technology. I'm very lucky.
In addition to Blender, ZBrush, Poser and DS, what else might we find in your digital toolset? What other software have you worked with, or have an interest in?
If we talk about 3D software, I have worked with Groboto and 3D Coat as well. Groboto is a very fascinating software. It generates 3D shapes procedurally, with some really intriguing algorithms. I didn't have enough time to play with it but it has real potential for creating unusual shapes. 3D Coat has also some very unique features in sculpting and UV Mapping. I tested modo 601 and it seems like a very nice 3D modeler with a UI that is incredibly well thought out. I have to find a way of justifying the purchase of it.
I've seen a lot of fantastic renders as a result of your Reality plug-in. It is a really great plug-in at a very, very good price. Can you tell us a little bit more about Reality and how it has evolved?
Allow me to rewind a little bit to the end of 2009. At that time I was preparing a series of Blender tutorials, the Blender Survival Guide, and I stumbled upon LuxRender. I have a background in photography and cinematography and the idea of having a renderer that finally simulated real lights was like a breath of fresh air. I started learning more about it and I was blown away at how advanced LuxRender is. I mean, here we have a program that implements real physics and some incredibly advanced rendering techniques and it is available to anyone because it's Open Source. It became obvious to me that it would have been an ideal supplemental renderer for the Studio crowd. All we needed was a way of connecting Studio to it.
So, I decided to get to work and write the necessary plug-in. In August 2010, Reality 1.0 was released and it took the market by storm. Later on, in a few months, I released version 1.2, which was a free upgrade, with many new features, often inspired by customers' feedback. In December 2011, I released version 2.0 which added GPU support and about sixty new features. With version 2.0 Reality extended support to SLG (SmallLux GPU), in addition to introducing a lot of new features from LuxRender 0.9. SLG is a GPU-based renderer that renders a scene in a few seconds and still retains physical accuracy. It's much more limited than Lux, but it's really, really fun to use. It's included with Lux and so it's a great addition. With Reality 2, you can switch between the fully-featured Lux to the blindingly-fast SLG with a click of the mouse.
So, that was what happened in the last two years. Just a few months after the release of Reality 1.0, Reality users had generated more Lux renders than were rendered in all the years before. The breadth of scenes, themes, and situations created is vast and the use of Reality and Lux has simply moved the world of pre-made content into the high-end territory. There are images out there, made with Reality and Lux, that rival the ones created with tools that cost several thousands of dollars. Don't you love technology?
You've been a member of Renderosity since 2005, and have more recently established yourself as a Vendor here. Can you tell us what you think about Renderosity, how it has evolved, and how your experience has been so far as a vendor here?
Working with Renderosity has been really easy and a pleasure. For a developer of plug-ins for Studio, this is really one of the best solutions on the market. The favorable revenue split and the helpful staff at Renderosity make setting up a product extremely convenient. I also like that it's possible to purchase advertisement space, a vital part part of making a product known to the public. This has been a very positive experience since day one.
As I myself have dabbled in Blender, I must say I really enjoyed your Blender Survival Guide tutorials. Your tutorials are very clear, professional, and easy to follow. As you are now releasing tutorials here on Renderosity, what can you tell us about them? What is planned, and what can one expect to learn?
Thank you very much. I've always enjoyed teaching technical topics, since the days of DOS (I guess that I'm dating myself!). One of the phrases that I hear most often in the Studio forums is: "I don't know how to light a scene." With "Make Your Own Reality" -- the video tutorial that I'm releasing at Renderosity -- I take that subject and show how lighting works and how you can configure the lighting for a scene. More importantly, I explain *why* a light gets placed in a scene. Every light placed should have a reason to be in there.Lighting is a vast subject and in "Make Your Own Reality" I try to explain the key concepts in a way that is not only relevant to Reality and Lux, but in general, as a bit of information that can help with all 3D setups. The other parts of the tutorial touch subjects like material configuration, usage of the fog prop and other techniques useful to master Reality and LuxRender.
As someone who is successfully making a living doing what he enjoys in the digital arts, do you have any advice for others working towards this same goal? What would you tell someone looking for a career in this market?
That is a big question. Running your own business can be very rewarding, but also very challenging. If you want to be successful you need to have the stamina to run your business for years. It takes time to build a market and a reputation. You can't expect overnight success because it almost never happens. Some useful ideas are: a) Think of an original product b) Make that product excellent c) Take care of your customers. They are who make it possible for you to have a business. Don't underestimate the power of good karma.
Do you have any favorite artists, digital, or otherwise?
In the visual arts world, I would list Gaudi, Dali, Goya, Frazetta, Michael Turner, Stjepan Sejic, Alessandro Barbucci. If we talk about music, then there are too many to list, but the geniuses must be mentioned: Ritchie Blackmore/Deep Purple, Brian May/Queen, Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Ozzie Osbourne and, of course, The Beatles.
What do you enjoy doing outside of your digital work?
I love movies and documentaries. I get a kick from watching great documentaries and Netflix has an almost endless offering. From nature shows to absolute unusual things like following the Steinway piano tuner in Austria during his workday. Reading is also a pleasure, photography and guitar playing are other activities that I enjoy. Sometimes a motorcycle ride is just the "medicine" to clear the mind, but often just drinking a nice glass of wine while talking with my wife, Holly, is one of the most exquisite pleasures of the day.
Do you have any final words you would like to extend to the Renderosity Community?
I am extremely grateful for the warm reception that the Renderosity community has given to Reality. I'm also very impressed with the Renderosity staff. You have provided a very friendly environment and even applied some changes to your system in order to host Reality and the "Make Your Own Reality" tutorial. I'm very grateful for that. It's great to see people who are so receptive to new challenges and work toward the common goal of providing great products to the public. I'm very excited to be part of this.

John Fred Young
Recently discovered this young man
he is the newphew of Fred Young of the Kentucky Headhunters fame....he seems to be a monster behind the kit
your thoughts?
Re: John Fred Young
Great drummer! So much energy, great groove, some killer fills-love his playing on "Shapes of Things" from that album. Love that band, I'll have to dig that one out sometime soon!
Re: John Fred Young
I've been a fan of his for several years now. Def like his style!
Re: John Fred Young
I saw Black Stone Cherry open for Alter Bridge a few weeks ago. They stole the show, and a lot of that was because of John Fred's absolute monster playing. He has tremendous power and drive, and he's also a great showman (standing up while he plays, flipping sticks all over the place and so on). Definitely a guy to watch, and I recommend any hard rock fan go see Black Stone Cherry live if you get the chance. They put on a great rock & roll show.
Check out this solo (no points for identifying some of his biggest influences):

L.A. Rose Filipino Breakfast
I'm sure my chronic whiteness contributed to her suggestion that I try the pancakes. It's not the first time. When I go to Korean restaurants I've actually had the manager come over to ask if I've ever tried the dish I just ordered.
So I quickly dispensed of that advice and went for the Spanish Longaniza sausage with eggs. You can also get it with Adobo (grilled pork).
It came out with the two perfectly cooked eggs resting comfortably atop a mound of white rice. Alongside was the sausage, and it was not the 2 skinny little weenies you get at Denny's. This was a pile of 8 juicy sausage halves, grilled to exactly the right temperature so they had little beads of sweat just beginning to form. And since it was grilled (as opposed to fried), it was kind of crisp around the edges. And the flavor was exactly what I wanted. The sausage is slightly sweet, which is perfect for breakfast.
This combination worked perfectly… a little coffee, a little egg, a little rice, a little sausage. Ahhhh.

re: Servorg
The majority of Filipino food is not spicy, especially for what you'd find in most restaurants here. I haven't been to this particular one though.
I think there is a region of the Philippines that has spicier food, but I don't know much beyond that.
re: CookieEater
I appreciate the reply. I'm intrigued enough to give L.A Rose a try, spicy or not.
re: Servorg
Food from the Bicol (eastern) region of the Philippines can be spicy. I recommend the "Bicol Express" spicy seafood stew from Asian Noodles on Spring St. (at Cesar Chavez) in Chinatown.
Is the rest of their menu Filipino? This place has been there forever but in the last few years has been looking even grimier than before.
Servorg: I've only had Filipino food twice, and neither one was spicy. But I think there's a very spicy Filipino dish. Someone else may be able to answer this.
CP: There's lots of stuff that's not Filipino (like the pancakes, waffles, etc.). btw, I enjoy your articles in the Los Feliz neighborhood newspaper.
I'm from E-Ho. This is interesting, considering that there's an actual Filipino restaurant (Fiesta Grill) located across the street. I remember hearing that one of the cooks at L.A. Rose is Filipino though.

Taylor Swift is not only a well-known country/pop artist, but it's the nature and subject of her songs that have been the resonating force for fans. However, the singer had to put her feelings aside for her upcoming movie, "The Giver".
E! News reports that the 24-year-old continues on her acting journey for the new film, which also stars Meryl Streep, Katie Holmes, Alexander Skarsgård and Jeff Bridges. The "22" singer admits that it was difficult for her to play someone without emotion, "To me emotion is such an important part of my life, and now I guess my job" she told "Entertainment Tonight".
She admitted that, without emotion, she may not even be where she is in this industry, "People wouldn't listen to my songs if they weren't heartbroken, or deeply affected and hurt, and jilted and sad and bitter and all those wonderful things that I write songs about," she confessed.
Swift also supports other heart-felt musicians, her and BFF Karlie Kloss attended an Ingrid Michaelson concert in NYC on Wednesday, showing off her infamous dance moves on stage with the model. Concertgoers didn't pass up a chance to catch all the action in a series of Instagram photos, which show the duo having a blast together, rocking out in casual attire.

Read Poems by
Sneha Agarwal
Right from the day, i opened my eyes
The selfless caress bounds me tight
No thing in the world could pay the price
Of the pious love giving eternal delight
The darkest day turns beautifully bright
Holding the arms of Mother very tight
She knows the unsaid that's the surprise
Bad spirits harm not , goes to demise
Wish each morning to please my Angel
Her presence itself makes days special
Her love and affection knows no pinnacle
Promise to be at least your glories emblem
The beauty of thy soul is so very simple
Without reason you turn life brightly twinkle
I wish to be a guiding light as u want me to
Never let you down how hard may be the go
I dedicate each beautiful frame of my life
Wish i leave before my Angel waves Bye!
May i ever be a reason of at least A Smile
My wealth be your Unconditional love till i die...

All vehicles in France must be insured, even if they are not in use. Vehicle insurance policies are either third-party (au tiers), the legal minimum; third-party fire and theft (au tiers illimité or tiers complet); or comprehensive cover (tous risques), although with the latter check the small print for exclusions.
The cost of your policy depends on your accident and claims record (bonus-malus) so if you can, ask your previous insurer for documentary proof of your record. If you were last insured in the UK, your last renewal notice or a photocopy of your contract should be sufficient.
Proof of insurance is a green card – carte verte – that must be clearly fixed to the windscreen of your vehicle. You will receive the carte verte when you take out a policy.
You are legally required to always carry the documentation proving that your vehicle is insured; so, along with your vehicle registration papers, you need to have your attestation d'assurance. Also needed is un constat amiable d'accident, an accident report sheet that you fill out in the event of an accident.
It is advisable not to leave these papers in the glove compartment. If the vehicle is stolen or something happens to it while you are not there and you cannot produce the documents for any reason, your insurer may not be required to honour the contract.
Insurance in France tends to cover the vehicle – unlike in the UK for example where is covers the driver only – so make sure regular drivers are named in the insurance policy. Do remember, though, that there will be some restrictions according to age and frequency of use by other drivers. These are likely to be contained through 'excesses' that apply to other persons' damages if the driver is under 25 years old or has less than three years driving experience.
If you are using your vehicle for work, you will need to declare this – especially important if this includes driving people around. As the risk is considered to be greater, your premium will be higher.
Motorbikes are treated similarly to cars, although there is no no claim bonus for mopeds.
What happens if you have an accident?
If you have an accident, the first thing you need to do is fill out – in English if your French is not up to it – the accident report form. You need to give your insurance details and details of the accident – this does not apportion blame, just give the facts. The constat amiable d'accident must then be signed by both yourself and the other party involved. It is a carbon copy sheet, and both parties send their copy back to their respective insurer to establish responsibility. If you do not understand what has been written by the other party do not sign the form as anything signed is taken as evidence.
If two cars are involved, use either your constat amiable d'accident or that of the other party – only one form needs to be filled out. If more than two cars are involved, a separate form should be completed with each party.
If a driver refuses to sign the form, make a note of the vehicle registration number and take the details of any witnesses or police officers.
Once the form has been filled in, you have five days to return it to your insurer. If neither you or the other driver has a constat available then the report can be done by letter and sent to the respective insurance companies within five days. They will then analyse the evidence to assign responsibility.
French car insurance carries a no-claims bonus system. Some drivers offer to pay directly for damage they cause so as to avoid an increase in the cost of their policy. If you decide to accept such an offer, still fill in the constat amiable for back-up protection in case the other party defaults on the deal.
Unlike in the UK where you can cancel your car insurance with a phone-call or simply let it lapse, in France the process of cancelling your policy is far more formal. To cancel your insurance you must send the company a formal letter of cancellation (résiliation) by registered post at least two months before the date your policy comes to an end. If you do not you are compelled to pay for the following year.
Vehicle insurance when still resident in the UK
If you do not live in France full-time you can use your existing insurance company to insure your UK-registered car in France. However, it only covers third party. It is advisable to extend your cover to fully comprehensive. Also look into breakdown insurance as many companies offer packages with English-speaking assistance. As well as road-side assistance, other issues to consider include replacement parts and whether the costs of getting your car back to the UK are covered.
Another option is a Green Card which is a legal document issued by UK car insurance companies and recognised within the EU. Until This card was once mandatory and some police will still request it so although it is not necessary to have one it is advisable to ask your car insurance company for one – you can never have too much documentation in France! There may be a small charge for this – it depends on the company.
A second car in France
If you have a second car in France it must have at least third party insurance and you must inform your insurance company when it is off the road. However, your insurance payments will continue during this time.

Halloween - The most wonderful time of the year!
I turn into a little kid again when Halloween approaches. I'm thrilled that this year, my 17 year-old son wants to throw a costume party for his friends, but he wants the food to be "cool". This translates to something not too campy, but more along the adult appetizer line, just jazzed a bit for the holiday. I'm planning a simultaneous adult party in the garage to give the kids their privacy. Any food ideas that could go both ways would be welcome. Also, any spooky decorating ideas? Sky's the limit.

Due to heavy rains in the region, Bristol Motor Speedway has closed the Speedway in Lights attraction Sunday night.
A news release from BMS said standing water has made the route impassable. This will be the first time Speedway in Lights has closed due to weather since Jan. 1, 2010. The Ice Rink and Chill Hill remain open.
"We have had certain areas affected in the past and have had time to create last-minute route changes," BMS General Manager Jerry Caldwell said. "But our main concerns are the safety of our guests and their experience while they are here. As disappointing as it is, with possibly more rain in the forecast this evening, the proper decision is to cancel tonight's activities. With no further issues, we expect to reopen Monday night."

Well, this sure beats the old bowling alley.
If you go
What: The CanteenWhere: 4 Avenue of Remembrance, The Citadel campusHours: 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Fridaymore Info: 953-2598
The Citadel's Canteen has undergone several iterations across the decades. It began as a bowling alley in the 1960s before becoming a snack bar and now a modernized dining facility operating in conjunction with Aramark.
In sunny and, yes, tech-savvy quarters (check out the free Wi-Fi, 55-inch televisions and Sirius XM Radio), The Canteen serves a bounty of pizza, burgers, soups, salads and wraps, appropriate options for all cadets. Or the public. Anyone is welcome to dine.
Updated kitchen equipment includes a pair of soup wells, salad bar, a condiment station for the flat-top griddle burgers and pizza conveyor oven firing up its share of carry-out orders.
So how does the new grub taste?
About like Aramark tastes. It's professional work. Food service giants tend to have the formula down pat. There's nothing terribly unpleasant here, and some choices, the popular, order-out Wednesday night meals, for instance, receive high marks.
The condiment bar is a huge plus, the cheeseburgers ($3.29), double cheeseburgers ($4.59) or even Philly cheese steaks ($4.99) lifted off the flat-top and fit inside a warm, steamy bun, ready for your choosing. Here, have a few extra pickles, onions, black olives or green peppers.
Breakfast options include the traditional bacon, eggs, sausage, biscuits and grits, as well as bagels and yogurt parfaits.
The hot bar rotation features Southern faves such as fried chicken and meatloaf.
And what's a Canteen without the drinks? The Coke Freestyle machine lets diners pick from about a gazillion (er, fact check: actually 256) options.
There's even a F'Real milkshake automaton that divvies out chocolate, vanilla, peanut-butter cup, cookie dough, and cookies and cream flavors, all custom-mixed to extra thick, regular or less thick specifications.
So, that's entirely awesome, and, no, home blenders aren't yet available. I know because I've already checked. Until then, it looks like I'll be paying a few more visits to The Canteen.

My name is Bill Licht. I am a member of the Michigan Crossroads Council Outdoor Adventure team. I also am the Manager of the D-bar-A Scout Ranch.
My Scouting adventure started when my son came home from school while in the first grade and said he wanted to be a Tiger Cub. He is now an Eagle Scout, and I was there with him for the entire journey. We had the opportunity to attend the 2005 National Jamboree together. I served as a Den Leader, then as a Scoutmaster for 8 years. As part of my District team, I managed the Scouting For Food effort for 10 years, as well as a member of the District Training team.
As a volunteer, I was recognized with the District Award of Merit and the Silver Beaver Award. While an adult leader and Advisor for various committees in the Migisi Opawgan Lodge of the Order of the Arrow, I was recognized with the Vigil Honor Award and the Founders Award
Training is a part of Scouting that I enjoy. I have had the privilege of serving on five NYLT courses, and one of them as the Course Director. Wood Badge was similar - I served on five courses and had the privilege of serving as the Course Director for the C-35-10 course.
In 2011 I was hired to be the Manager of the Ranch. I always loved coming to camp with my Scouts, but now I get to be here every weekend. How awesome is that!
And through it all I have had the support of my wife Lynn who I have been married to since 1977. How awesome is that!

After the success of the two-hour movie "Hunter: Return to Justice" (2002), NBC brought "Hunter" back to TV after a 12-year hiatus. The original "Hunter" aired from 1984 to 1991. Original stars Fred Dryer and Stepfanie Kramer returned as Rick Hunter and Dee Dee McCall for this updated version of "Hunter," the entertaining cop series that followed the story of a detective who bristled at authority within the Los Angeles Police Department, used a brash style to bring criminals to justice and tried to escape from the mob background of his family.
In "Hunter: Return to Justice" (2002) and "Hunter: Back in Force" (2003), Hunter relocated from Los Angeles to San Diego, where he meets up with his old partner, Dee Dee McCall. Eventually, the pair become partners again but this time as members of the San Diego Police Department. "Hunter (2003)" continues their story in San Diego as they chase criminals and even fight the military.
Unfortunately NBC did not attract as many viewers to the Saturday night time slot as they had hoped for and the new "Hunter" series was cancelled after just a few episodes.

What I EnjoyI just got home from work and was getting ready to go out for the night.
I took a long shower and shaved like I normally do. I stepped out of the shower and dried off.
I went to my room and put on a white satin t-shirt bra and matching panties.
I went back to the bathroom to apply my make up and did my sandy blond hair. My body tingled with excitement. I went back to my bedroom and put on a pair of black thigh high stocking along with a black leather mini skirt. I found a nice lacy white tank top and a white deep v sweater.
I put on my black high heels. I walked back to the bathroom to apply my light rose lipstick. Hearing the click, click, click, of my heels on the hardwood floors, as I walked down the hallway.
I put on my rings, ear rings and silver heart necklace.
I was feeling very horny. I rubbed my hands on my breasts and then down to my *** to feel the leather mini skirt.
I walked down to the living room. My body was again tingling with excitement a I heard my heels click as I walked.
I sat on the couch looking down at my long sexy legs. I reached down to feel them. Now I was really turned on. I knew I needed to take care of business. I lifted my skirt up so that I could see my white panties. I reached down and touched my white panties. So silky smooth. I continued to rub myself over my panties. I slipped a finger inside if my panties then two. I then pulled down my panties and took them of. I reached down with both hands using one to cup my balls and the other on my throbbing ****. It only took a few strokes for me to ***. I cleaned myself up and put on my panties. Fixed my make up and out the door I went for the night.

Orioles "going hard" after Brewers ace Zack Greinke
Jul 6, 2012, 4:46 PM EDT
There will be no shortage of teams interested in Zack Greinke if the Brewers make him available before the July 31 trade deadline and Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles are already "going hard" after the former Cy Young winner.
Connolly spoke to a an unnamed MLB executive from a non-Baltimore team and writes that "the Orioles appear to be the most aggressive suitor" for Greinke, although it's not a guarantee that the Brewers end up trading him if they can get a long-term contract extension done in the next couple weeks.
Baltimore can certainly use the rotation help, as Jason Hammel and Wei-Yin Chen have been the Orioles' only dependable starters and yet they're still in second place in the AL East at 44-38.
Any trade would presumably have to bring back more value to the Brewers than a pair of draft picks, which they could get as compensation for Greinke leaving as a free agent. He's making $13.5 million in the final year of a deal signed with the Royals and is 25-8 with a 3.54 ERA in 45 starts for the Brewers since they parted with Jake Odorizzi, Lorenzo Cain, Alcides Escobar, and Jeremy Jeffress to get him in December of 2010.
Baltimore has a pair of truly elite prospects in Dylan Bundy and Manny Machado, but the Orioles would be crazy to make either available for a half-season of Greinke and Connolly speculates that they may lack the second-tier prospects to entire the Brewers.
- Ben - Jul 6, 2012 at 5:04 PM
Wait, is this the same Orioles with a -28 run differential and a super-lopsided (and unsustainable) one-run game win/loss total?
- geoknows - Jul 6, 2012 at 5:22 PM
Yep. And the same ones that are sinking fast now. They are behaving like the Indians did last year, foolishly trading for Ubaldo Jimenez when they didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of making the playoffs. The Orioles don't either.
- proudlycanadian - Jul 6, 2012 at 5:44 PM
All the more reason for Baltimore to trade the farm for a short term rental. Long term pain for short term gain. Hurry hard Baltimore! Hurry Hard!
- DJ MC - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:49 PM
Yes it is. It is the same Orioles team that is in second place and has a wild-card spot despite that differential (which mostly comes from the minus-22 put up between the 27th and 30th of June–we're still early enough to see major fluctuations based on small samples).
The Orioles already added a bat. Right now, they need a better option at third base and help in the rotation. Greinke would fix one of those issues.
The real question is do the Orioles have enough to make the Brewers happy while also not overspending on a rent-a-player? I don't think they do, which is why someone like Dempster is more likely. However, if they think that they can sign Greinke long-term, it makes giving up that talent much more palatable, and likely.
- nategearhart - Jul 6, 2012 at 5:09 PM
They'd be crazy to trade off their top prospects for a rental when they're so close to actually competing.
- brewcitybummer - Jul 6, 2012 at 5:35 PM
All you people stop trying to kill my Machado delusions. Reality be damned. The Brewers will have an all-star shortstop one day.
- proudlycanadian - Jul 6, 2012 at 5:41 PM
In your lifetime?
- brewcitybummer - Jul 6, 2012 at 8:08 PM
That's depressing on many levels.
- DJ MC - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:51 PM
The Brewers will have an All-Star shortstop one day. It just won't be Manny Machado. Unless you have some trade in mind involving Braun. Then the Orioles will listen.
- kwf1224 - Jul 6, 2012 at 6:37 PM
Please keep Greinke, Brewers.
- psuravens19 - Jul 6, 2012 at 6:50 PM
The Os are NOT going to trade Bundy or Machado so let's not worry about that. Something to think about is Kranitz was the Os pitching coach when Matusz was actually doing well, I wouldn't be surprised if his name is in the trade talks.
- js20011041 - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:37 PM
Remeber who is pulling the trigger here. This is Dan Duquette. Orioles fans will be lucky if he doesn't offer to trade both Bundy and Machado and pick up all of the remaining money due Greinke.
- DJ MC - Jul 6, 2012 at 9:42 PM
I am very curious to hear your reasoning for this.
- js20011041 - Jul 6, 2012 at 11:15 PM
There's a reason Duquette was out of baseball for a decade. Now, that was a bit of hyperbole, but he really isn't one of the stronger GMs in the game. For every strong move he made, there was a bad one. Anyone remember the Jose Offerman signing? Or how about burning bridges with Roger Clemens and then watching him dominate baseball for another decade? Or failing to build any kind of a legitimate rotation around Pedro? His obsession with mediocre Korean pitchers?
This isn't a team that is legitimately built for success. For him to be seriously considering trading for Greinke, shows a lack of judgement. One pitcher is not going to help this team. You could give them Verlander and they aren't making the playoffs. The Orioles are already starting to fade. What they should do is ride out the next month, possibly making a small deal or two, and see where they are by the deadline. My bet is that they'll have fallen back far enough to sell some pieces. Maybe see if they can get something for Hammel, Thome, or some of their bullpen.
- hodaghunter - Jul 7, 2012 at 12:39 AM
A "rental" pitcher can change a lot in a half of season. Just ask any Brewer fan about what CC did for them in that half of season. CC carried the crew to the playoffs by starting games on short rest for an entire month. Crew made it, without ben sheets contributing anything or Jeff Suppan helping out

RIP David R. Ellis
He passed suddenly from a heart attack in Johannesburg, South Africa earlier this morning. He was preparing to film KITE, which would've reunited Ellis with his Snakes on a Plane star Samuel L. Jackson.
He had some fun movies on his resume. Rest in peace.
Sad news. His movies are goofy, but I really enjoy them. Final Destination 2 is my favorite of the series. Also a big fan of Cellular, which is a huge guilty pleasure of mine.
Sad and sudden news. There were few better at staging an action sequence, that's for sure. Few scenes compare to the intricacy and mayhem of that Final Destination 2 opening. Loved Cellular and the 4th FD as well. Shark Night, well, that's a terrible last film to have on your resume...
The man knew how to put together an action scene. I didn't care for his 3D films, but I had a lot of fun with Final Destination 2 and Snakes on a Plane. My favorite thing he directed was Cellular, a pretty underrated thriller. RIP
Love both of Final Destination films, Snakes on a Plane wasn't as fun as the hype, but the hype was so fun it skews my view and I do like it. Sad news, R.I.P.
He made some fun films,including my favorite FINAL DESTINATION entry.CELLULAR was inderrated,SNAKES ON A PLANE was goofy fun.Rest In Peace.
Snakes on a Plane was a ton of fun. I also actually enjoyed Shark Night for what it was. I didn't think it was nearly as bad as was heard everywhere. :nervous:
Final Destination 2 was definately the best in the series, that begining sequence was just mental. RIP.

(for more information, contact Catherine Belcher, Head of School)
Larchmont Charter School's High School Program rigorously prepares students for college while continuing to foster the love of learning and creative processes that are the hallmark of our elementary and middle school programs. All students receive high level, college preparatory humanities, mathematics, and science instruction and learn how to creatively utilize what they learn to positively affect the world around them. Students also have access to engaging electives, including leadership and arts opportunities, which help them continue to grow as well-rounded, successful persons who are also able to gain entrance to the college and career path of their choice.
Larchmont's high school curriculum is designed to meet and exceed the college admission requirements of top universities and colleges. Core content area courses and most electives satisfy A-G course requirements for admission to University of California and other highly selective universities. Beginning with the 2014-2015 academic year, the high school will implement its Advanced Placement program. In this first year, four Advanced Placement courses will be available to students, including AP World History, AP US History, AP English Language, and AP Biology. In the 2015-2016 academic year, an additional four AP courses will be added to the course catalog.
The daily schedule includes Extended Lunch, a half hour period after lunch where teachers hold office hours and student clubs meet. Current students have taken the initiative to secure faculty advisors and found clubs that match their interests, such as the Economics Club, Book Club, Guitar, Debate, Mentorship and Volunteer Clubs. In addition, our Student Leadership and Yearbook groups meet during this time. Extended Lunch is also utilized for faculty office hours and tutorials which students can take advantage of when they feel they need additional help with classes. Study hall and quiet reading spaces are also available. Extended Lunch provides an opportunity for students to make decisions about how to engage their interests and utilize the academic supports available to them every day at this time.
Integral to the high school program is the Director of College and Career Access, who works with the administrative team to ensure all core academic courses are College Board/University of California A-G approved and that our Advanced Placement program is on track for implementation. Our Director, Mr. Edwin Co, holds extensive experience developing successful high school college counseling programs, and has served as an academic counselor at the college level as well. He currently oversees the PSAT/SAT testing program for the high school. All current sophomores took the PSAT in October, successfully initiating Larchmont's college preparatory testing program. As students progress through high school, Mr. Co will continue to serve as a counseling resource to students as they make decisions about where they want to attend college, complete the college application process, and apply for financial aid.

Financial Reporting Blog > July 2012 > House Financial Svs Comm.-Cap Mkts Subcomm. Hosts 7/26 Hearing on '10th Anniv. of Sarbanes-Oxley Act
The House Financial Services Committee, Capital Markets Subcommittee, has announced it will convene a hearing on July 26 at 9:30 am to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Long-time followers of the FEI blog may recall the blog was first formed in 2004 to follow actions with respect to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, particularly Section 404 on internal control reporting. Among other Sections of the Act with which our readers are fairly familiar are the requirements for CEO and CFO certifications, the formation of the PCAOB, and the requirements to include a financial expert on audit committees. Over the years the blog branched out into other areas of accounting/regulatory reporting standard-setting and rulemaking.
According to the press release issued earlier this week by the House Financial Services Committee, the upcoming Sarbox hearing on July 26 aims "to examine the burdens and benefits of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act."
Watch for updates on the hearing on the House Financial Services Committee website.
See also our earlier post (Sarbanes-Oxley A Decade Later: News and Views) which references the cover story in the July-August issue of Financial Executive magazine.

Perinatal FAQs
Q: What is a Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist (MFM) or Perinatologist?
A: According to The Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine, the definition for a Maternal Fetal Specialist, who is also known as a Perinatologist is as follows: "A Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist is an obstetrician/gynecologist who has completed two to three years of additional training and formal education and clinical experience. MFM specialists have advanced knowledge of the obstetrical, medical, genetic, and surgical complications of pregnancy and their affects on both the mother and the fetus."
Q: Can I bring my young children to my office visit?
A: Yes! We actually encourage bringing siblings to ultrasound appointments, as this can be an exciting experience for big brothers and sisters-to-be. However, we ask that there is no eating in the office, voices are kept to a reasonable volume and children are either seated or held by an adult while waiting. This helps maintain as serene and peacful an environment as possible for all.
Q: Who do I call for problems?
A: Please contact your primary doctor for all routine prenatal questions. If you experience a problem related to your high-risk condition, please contact See Baby at 404-223-9306.
Q: What test are typically performed by my primary doctor's office?
A: Routine tests may be requested at your primary doctor's office, including prenatal labs, 3rd trimester labs and Group B Strep. Testing that is specific to high-risk medical conditions may be ordered by our medical staff. We will contact you and your primary doctor with these results.
Q: How often will I be evaluated by SEE BABY?
A: This will depend on your history and the condition for which you are being evaluated. You may have appointments weekly, biweekly or monthly.
Q: Does my insurance cover the care provided by SEE BABY?
A: We accept most health plans. You may be required to pay a co-pay at each visit. Please check with your individual insurance policy for details. Additionally, information our Billing Specialist may be able to provide guidance in this regard.
Q: I would like to be evaluated at SEE BABY!
A: Your primary doctor or care provider will refer you to our practice for an initial consultation or fetal ultrasound examination. If your doctor and our staff (Dr. Bootstaylor or Monica Taylor, PA) determine that you are a candidate for follow-up care or co-management, our office will arrange the necessary follow-up visits, ultrasounds and antenatal testing required for your pregnancy care..
Q:Why do I receive ultrasound images via SMS, email, CD, DVD, etc. at the end of my visit, instead of a printed picture like at other ultrasound facilities?
A: We are doing our part to help the environment by preserving trees! During your visit with us at See Baby, our goal is for you to have a unique and exciting experience with your baby. We pride ourselves on being "Green" and have created a virtually paperless workflow, to include distribution of ultrasound images. You may typically take home a small image after your ultrasounds are completed, but outside of that, you can't do much else with the picture. Electronic images are easier to share with family and friends (via email, text, CD, etc.) or transfer onto posters, mugs, mouse pads, calendars, etc. -- the possibilities are endless! These options can only be extended to you through use of electronic images.
Q: What is an Amniocentesis and CVS?
Amniocentesis is a procedure used to draw a sample of the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby in the womb. This fluid contains cells that have been sloughed off of the developingfetus.
Amniocentesis is most often used to detect genetic abnormalities, though the results can also reveal the baby's sex, gauge lung maturity (if done close to term), detect amniotic fluid infections, or diagnose other pregnancy related problems.
Amniocentesis can diagnose or rule out many possible fetal abnormalities. Most often, it's used to spot common genetic defects (such as Down syndrome) and neural tube defects (such as spina bifida). Amniocentesis is usually performed between 16 to 22 weeks gestation, although it can be done as early as 13 - 14 weeks and beyond 22 weeks gestation.
Chorionic villas sampling (CVS), a similar test is sometimes used to detect many of the same abnormalities. Instead of amniotic fluid, CVS examines placental cells, which are genetically identical to the fetus. Since CVS can be done earlier in the pregnancy (~ 11 – 12 weeks), and since results are available within 48 hours, it may be preferable for women who need earlier answers about their baby's health. CVS carries a higher risk of miscarriage than amniocentesis, and may increase the risk of limb deformities if performed too early.
Q: What Are the Risks?
About one woman in every 200-400 women can have a miscarriage as a result of amniocentesis, although recent studies suggest that the rate of miscarriage may be as low as one in 1,000 (0.1%). Amniocentesis done during the first trimester carries a greater risk for miscarriage than amniocentesis done after the 15th week. The risk of miscarriage can be similar to that caused by CVS, which is ~ 1:100. Less than one woman in every 1,000 women develop a uterine infection after amniocentesis.
Q: How Can I Prepare?
Amniocentesis provides diagnostic information about the baby. It not a form of treatment, however can provide information to the mother to make certain decisions about treatment. So before you have the test done, think about how you might use the information it provides. Some birth defects are incompatible with life, others are easily correctable, and still others fall somewhere in between.
Weigh the benefits and risks. If the information provided from either CVS or amniocentesis doesn't impact on your decision about the pregnancy, the test may add more anxiety than it's worth. On the other hand, knowing your baby has a problem may allow you to prepare better for his or her birth. One study of mothers who continued pregnancies after learning their babies had Down syndrome showed they were much better able to cope than women who discovered at birth that their babies were affected.
If you decide to proceed with the amniocentesis or CVS, there is no specific preparation needed, except to maintain a relaxed & calm disposition leading up to the day of the procedure and thereafter. After either procedure, patients are typically advised to maintain reduced activities and no heavy lifting for 12 – 24 hours. Prolonged bed rest or absence from work is not necessary.
Q: What Will Happen?
First, an ultrasound is done to visualize the position of the fetus and placenta. This allows your doctor to determine the safest place to insert the needle. Guided by ultrasound, the doctor carefully inserts a hollow needle through your abdomen, into the amniotic sac, and draws out about four teaspoons (~20 cc) of amniotic fluid. Your baby quickly replaces any fluid that is lost within 12 - 24 hours. During the course of the procedure the patient can observe her baby's activity before, during and after for reassurance.
If a local anesthetic is used, you may feel a stinging sensation for a few seconds. You may also feel slight pain or cramping when the doctor inserts the needle and pressure in your lower abdomen when the fluid is withdrawn. Some women report no pain or discomfort, and find the "anticipation" of the procedure the biggest obstacle.
After the fluid is removed, the fetal cells are grown in a laboratory and then analyzed. Your doctor will get the complete results within 7 -10 days. On occasion a rapid preliminary test result can be obtained in ~ 24 -48 hours.
Additionally the level of alpha-fetoprotein in the amniotic fluid is measured, which may confer certain risk if abnormally elevated (e.g. risk of neural tube defect). Since alpha-fetoprotein does not need to be cultured in the lab, these results are available right away -- although a potential problem must be confirmed by subsequent genetic analysis of the amniotic fluid.
Who Should Have Amniocentesis?
Amniocentesis is typically offered only to women at increased risk for bearing a child with birth defects. This includes women who:
- Will be 35 or older when they give birth
- Have a screening test or exam result that indicates a possible birth defect or other problem
- Have had birth defects in previous pregnancies
- Have a family history of genetic disorders
If birth defects run in your family, seek genetic counseling before you have amniocentesis - and if possible, before you get pregnant. You and your partner can have certain blood tests to determine your chances of having a baby with a birth defect. Commonly parental carrier testing for such defects such as Cystic Fibrosis or Sickle Cell anemia may preclude the patient from having an amniocentesis or CVS, pending the results.
Amniocentesis Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Do normal amniocentesis results mean I will have a healthy baby?
A: A normal amniocentesis shows that your baby's genetics are normal. But even with a normal pattern of chromosomes, your baby can have other types of birth defects. Minor genetic abnormalities may not be detected. About 1 – 3% of all pregnancies are associated with a structural or genetic abnormality.
Q: Can doctors treat any defects diagnosed by amniocentesis?
A: Scientists have been working on possible cures and treatments for a variety of fetal conditions. Many conditions can be treated after birth, and a few can be corrected while the baby is still in the womb, although this type of surgery is still considered experimental. Knowing about a condition ahead of time allows parents and physicians to prepare for the child's special needs, even if his condition can't be treated. Discovering if your baby has a genetic problem such as Down syndrome provides for you information to actively plan for any challenges with the pregnancy and beyond.
Q: I have a relative with Down syndrome. Should I have an amniocentesis?
A: Down syndrome occurs when the cells of a fertilized egg divide abnormally, creating an extra 21st chromosome. Maternal age -- not family history -- seems to be the most important risk factor. A 20-year-old mother, for example, has a 1/2000 chance of delivering a baby with Down syndrome. For a 45-year-old, the chances are significantly higher, ~ 1/40. Very rarely is Down syndrome is inherited when a father or mother carries an egg or sperm with a defective 21st chromosome. If you think you have an increased risk, discuss the benefit and risk of genetic testing with your doctor or a genetic counselor.
Q: Are there alternatives to amniocentesis?
A: There are a number of screening tests that can help assess your risk of having a baby with a chromosomal problem. These tests are routinely offered to women of all ages. Such tests include ultrasound and maternal serum tests & screenings such as: 1) Non-Invasive Fetal DNA testing (Verifi, MaterniT21, Harmony) 2) First trimester screen (Free beta-HCG, PAPP-A, NT), 3) Second trimester screen (Triple and Quadruple marker). These tests are non-invasive, carry no risk of miscarriage or other problems, and can correctly identify 65 - 85% of chromosomal problems. However, none of these tests can confirm that your baby has a problem.
