Two Bulls
He took this photo because the other morning when it was time to get up at 4:45 and go gather a bunch of bulls, I pulled the covers over my head. Then Marlboro Man began poking me in the ribs with his left index finger, which I proceeded to bite. Then he said, "Get up, sleepyhead," and I said, "Honey, nooooooooooo-wuh. I'm tiiiiiiiiiiiii-yerd." Then I started whimpering softly.
Then he reached under the covers and began tickling my armpits. I squirmed and said, "Honey, quiiiiiiiiit." Then he chuckled. Then he flickered the lights on and off and said, "C'mon. Time to get up." Then I told him I had a sore throat. Then he said no you don't. Then I said yes I do. Then he poked me in the ribs again and sat on top of me. Then I started crying hysterically and said I couldn't believe he was actually going to force me to get out of bed after I gave birth to his son five years ago without any pain medication and besides that, women were liberated years ago, whatever that means. Then he said, "Well, I'm taking your camera, then." And I said "Don't let the doorknob hit you in the hiney." Then I rolled over and started snoring. Then he left. Then he rode out into a pasture to gather bulls and work toward supporting me and his four children all morning while my pansy bottom stayed in bed. And bed has never felt so good.
Back to the photo! (**To my dear friends who read this website and couldn't care less about photography, I promise the day will come when I have a separate website devoted solely to this topic and you won't ever have to read another post like this again. For now, please remember all the good things about our relationship.)
I loved the photo when I saw it, as I thought it perfectly illustrated the difference between male and female creatures of all kinds. The two bulls are squaring off, displaying their innate aggression for no other reason but that it's in their genetic makeup. The cows, meanwhile, are in the other pasture doing each other's nails.
Here's the SOOC version from Marlboro Man.
First thing I did was clone out (get rid of) the distracting heads of grass that were blocking their faces.
Then, because I knew this would make a great black-and-white photo, I made the conversion, giving it a little bit of a vintage-brown tint.
Now, notice the "burned edge" effect of the final version above? I like this trick, as I think it really adds a cool vibe to certain photos. Here are a couple of other examples:
Here's Missy, my sister-in-law. She thinks just because she can ride a horse and rope a steer and wrestle a calf to the ground and sort cattle that she's a cowgirl or something. She needs to hang around me for awhile; I could teach her a few things.
Here's Lynn, our cowboy. The burned-edge effect really works with cowboy shots.
I learned the trick from Photoshop User, a magazine I love almost as much as Coffee Haagen Dazs and Muriel's Wedding. If you are a Photoshop user, subscribe to Photoshop User to-day, even before you brush your teeth or feed the dog. It's that important.
Would you like to learn how to do it? C'mon…it's a cinch.
First, open up the photo to which you want to apply the edge burn. Then open up the "Curves" adjustment layer.
Now click on the dot on the upper right hand corner, and drag the line all the way down until the output reads "16."
Click "OK." You now have a layer of black over your original photo. Isn't that just beautiful? Next, click on the Rectangular Marquee tool and drag a dotted rectangle just inside the border of your photo.
Now click "Control (or Command, for Mac)-Backspace". It takes out the black center and leaves a thin black frame around the photo.
Now go to Filter-Blur-Gaussian Blur and bump it up to around 250. So basically, you're drastically blurring the new black frame, which makes it more of a subtle, burned-edge effect. Groovy, huh?
And the great thing about this technique is that the blurred frame is actually its own adjustment layer, so if you think the effect is too intense, you can decrease the opacity of the layer to lighten it a little.
I actually liked it at full strength so I left it alone. Plus, I had to make Marlboro Man three dozen oatmeal cookies to make up for the fact that I'd slept in that morning so I didn't have time to mess with Photoshop anymore. He really knows how to hold a grudge.

Is it possible to do this in PhotoShop Elements? I can't seem to find the "curves adjustment layer" anywhere. I need to take a class or something! ;o)
midwestmom On Tuesday, April 1 at 1:02 pm
It's not working for me
I end up with the small outside rectangle "normal" and the big inside rectangle blurred. And it's not blurred dark, it's blurred white. I have to turn the Opacity way down to even see the picture. If the opacity is at 100, the inside pic is white and the outside rectangle is black.
Shari On Wednesday, April 2 at 1:57 am
I'm having the same issue. I am getting a white picture with dark blurred edges…not sure how to be able to see the picture with the blurred edges?
Emily On Wednesday, April 2 at 5:11 pm
I had the same problem- the white picture with the black outline. I tried it several different ways and got the same outcome. I don't know what else to try.
Beth On Thursday, April 3 at 8:19 am
Great tip! I would also love to know how to achieve the brown tint. Thanks!
Caroline On Thursday, April 3 at 2:35 pm
I had the same problem too. I figured out my fill Problem. I had to change it to history, but am still having problems with the blur. My pictures blurs with my black rim staying focused. I think we are missing a step somewhere.
Emily On Sunday, April 6 at 8:37 pm
I figured it out- instead of hitting control backspace I hit delete. And as for why your picture is bluring- make sure you have selected the right layer, that is the only thing I can think of.
Emily On Sunday, April 6 at 8:38 pm
I figured it out- instead of hitting control backspace I hit delete. And I didn't blur mine all the way to 250- that was way to much. And as for why your picture is bluring- make sure you have selected the right layer, that is the only thing I can think of.
Jennifer On Tuesday, April 15 at 10:39 pm
I follow all the steps but in the end the rectangle border is still in focus & solid black. any suggestions?
Iammarcie On Saturday, April 26 at 5:54 pm
I think we need to be sure we Deselect the rectangle (Ctrl D) after we delete it and before we blur it. In other words remove the marching ants before we blur the outside edge.
That even confuses me, but it's the only way I know to describe it. *g*
Summer On Monday, May 5 at 10:03 pm
I'm trying to learn this in Elements, and… as stated above… I'm lost. I am just starting to get into photography and I'm used to Corel Draw, not Photoshop! These tips are so great. Thanks so much!
sarah On Saturday, May 10 at 10:09 am
lanmarcie your tip did it! thanks!

This is the coolest effect EVER! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I will be using this often.
Becky On Friday, May 23 at 6:54 pm
Thank you so much for this great tip!
I just have 1 question. I did this once and it worked great, now whenever I do it, i can't get the inside to delete. I've tried ctrl backspace and ctrl delete, neither works.
Any ideas? This isn't the first time I've done something successfully and the next time I do it, the exact same way, it doesn't work. It's very frustrating!
Any help appreciated!!
Marcia On Tuesday, June 3 at 9:50 am
ree, i cannot believe this ~ i was actually going back over some items i'd missed *before* i got out of bed this a.m. so embarrassing. and so, yes, i subscribed to photoshop user before i brushed my teeth.
thanks a lot. did you have to make it sooo easy by providing a link? i mean, you could have said "go to your local barnes & noble ~ get off your duff". but i thought it apropos that since you didn't get out of bed neither did i.
heh heh heh.

These days I have more questions than answers. The control freak in me thinks it sucks gym socks, but my spirit knows otherwise.
What if we stopped waiting for the perfect moment to take action. You know, when the stars align, we feel like it, or we lose that last 10 pounds?
What if we stopped living through our vision of worst case scenario and started living through the vision of best case scenario?
What if we ceased fixating on our jiggly thighs/thinning hair/lack of formal education and embraced our strengths and goodness instead?
What if we halted fighting against what we don't want and started pursuing what we do want in our lives?
And, what if what we thought of ourselves outweighed what anyone else thought of us? If making ourselves happy was more important than conforming to someone else's expectations of us?
What if?
I can't answer for you. Maybe you're already rocking it out, trucking along, kicking major ass and entering names into your address book.
Me, I'm not there. Yet. Not consistently. I don't post as frequently as I'd like because the inspiration hits me on the weekends when I'm nice and relaxed and not tapped out by needy adolescents all day long (and I'm "supposed" to have a schedule and a strategy and blahblahblah). I haven't launched my other education-related blog because I don't have the perfect logo. I haven't added my services tab because who the hell would hire me anyway?
I see through those excuses. I know what they are. They are fears clothed in what passes as reason.
Stay safe. Don't risk. Be smart.
But I have a choice. You have a choice. We all do. We can keep believing our bullshit excuses, or we can ball up and move through them. We can decide to eschew the false despair in favor of placing our bets on our talents and dreams. Our lives, damn it!
What if you followed your dreams instead of your fears? How would your world change? Let's find out. I will if you will. Do one thing in support of you. Now. And once you've done it, share in the comments.

George Strait Hopes To Bring Resort Back
Country Legend, Business Partner Look To Restore Tapatio Springs
TAPATIO SPRINGS, Texas - If there is one thing George Strait loves as much as -- if not more than -- making hit songs, it is golf.
"If I don't play golf every day, I feel like I've missed out on something. So I try to play almost every day, " said the county music legend.
He and his business partner, Tom Cusick, used to play the courses at Tapatio Springs quite frequently.
"George and I, we've been coming out here for over 25 years, and over the last 10 years, we virtually stopped coming here, and it was just sad to see the condition it was in," said Cusick.
So Strait and Cusick bought the resort and gave it a makeover.
"We re-did all of the hotel rooms. We re-did the dining room, the bar area, the pro shop, the men's and women's locker rooms, the men's 19th hole," Strait said.
Just about everything about the resort has been changed or upgraded -- except for the golf courses.
" We think the layout -- especially the original 18 -- is a great layout. It might require a little tweaking here and there, but we don't have any plans for that right now," Strait said.
Cusick and Strait are banking on their investment, and Strait's name, to put the resort back in the top tier of golf destinations in South Texas.
"It was lacking a lot of TLC and that's what we're giving it now. We're trying to bring it back and we WILL do it, " Strait said.

Yes, with the return of college football has come the perennial argument over whether student athletes should be paid. On the one side, some say college players are already compensated plenty in scholarships and on-campus perks. On the other, critics of the enormous money machine that is the NCAA say it's laughable that "everyone in the business of college sports gets rich except the players," as the New York Times' Joe Nocera puts it.
Manziel got the conversation going again this year when it was revealed he was under investigation for allegedly accepting cash payments in exchange for signing memorabilia (he was later found more or less innocent, and slapped with a strange half-game suspension). That struck many as an odd double-standard, given how handsomely Texas A&M and the NCAA have profited off Manziel's prowess on the field.
Texas A&M's athletic department earned $120 million in 2012, sixth-most of any school in the nation. One study estimated the college received $37 million in free media exposure over a three-month period because of Manziel and the football team's success. And boosters even auctioned off a dinner with Manziel for $20,000, though none of the money went to the quarterback himself.

The Isobar Separator for Anions (ISA) for AMS is an emerging separation technique first applied to theseparation of 36S from 36Cl, resulting in the relative suppression of sulphur by six orders of magnitude. Using aradio frequency quadrupole column incorporating gas cells, this innovative technique enables the use of a widerange of low energy ion-molecule reactions and collisional-induced dissociation processes for suppressingspecific atomic or molecular anions with a high degree of selectivity. Other elemental pairs (analyte/isobar)successfully separated at AMS level by ISA now include Ca/K, Sr/(Y, Zr), Cs/Ba, Hf/W and Pu/U, potentiallyenabling the measurement of the radionuclides 41Ca, 90Sr, 135,137Cs, 182Hf, and 236,238Pu at ultra-trace level onsmaller accelerators. In view of these initial successes, an effort to develop a version of the ISA that can be usedas a robust technique for routine AMS analysis has been undertaken. We will present the detailed layout of apractical ISA and the functional requirements that a combined ISA/AMS system should meet. A pre-commercial ISA system incorporating these concepts is currently being installed at the newly established A. E.Lalonde AMS Laboratory in Ottawa, Canada.

Our collective independence
Independence is a strong word. This coming week, we'll celebrate our nation's Independence Day, the day patriots declared that we had just about enough of the British and were doing things on our own from now on, thank you. Except, you know, it wasn't that nicey nice, as the Declaration of Independence was signed during a bloody war.
It's been so long since July 4, 1776, and the moral arc of the universe has bended so much since then. Independent as a country, yes we were, soon enough. Free as a people – well, white people anyway. And liberty? Not so much for women, whose livelihoods were not determined by themselves. But all that was then. This is now. Paul Revere's ride was among the first gallops of U.S. history. So much ground has been covered since then. Change is a constant.
As an AARP driving instructor told me once (no, I wasn't in the class, I was writing a story about it): "If you can't run with the big dogs, don't jump off the porch." One way to take that, other than keeping up with traffic, is that if you're getting off the porch, you're going to have to venture outside into the world with everyone else. And they're not going to be just like you. And you're going to have to pick up the pace.
Sometimes when I'm driving to work, after the coffee has kicked in, I think about this community and state and country and its people and I think about how much I love it. Oh, there's much to fret about and be angry about and want to change. But overall, we are so lucky to live in a place that, set in motion 237 years ago, is independent. One that strives for liberty and justice for all, even if it doesn't succeed every single day.
Our American history is composed of big moments and small moments. Presidential elections, battles, triumphs, defeats all printed as six-column headlines in big letters on the front page of newspapers. But our American history is also in the details, in the conversations and events where daily life comes and goes. It's in stories passed down in families -- written, oral or through a piece of furniture or even a clock or piece of silverware. All of that is part of the fabric of the United States of America. Each piece matters, because even small moments can alter the course of history. Independence is a strong word because it is a word that shows strength to stand on our own. But it is also the result of people working together. That's when our great nation is at its best, when we collectively strive for the good of all. Happy Independence Day, America!

Amos Poe / EMPIRE II
Amos Poe
USA, 2007, HD, 16:9, 182 min
A tone-poem meditation on the city of our dreams. With music by Patti Smith, Jim Carroll, Lucinda Williams, Jeff Buckley, Jimmie James, Steve Earle, Cassis Staudt, Max Nova, Gram Rabbit, Peggy Lee, Allison Moorer, Hysterics, Debbie Harry, B.B. King, Pink Martini, ... and many more.
Amos Poe
He is one of the leading figures of the No Wave Cinema movement (75-85) that grew out of the bustling East Village music and art scene. In '75 Poe and Ivan Kral (Patti Smith Group, Iggy Pop) produced, edited and shot the now classic and definitive punk film, THE BLANK GENERATION. In '76, Poe wrote, produced, and directed his debut groundbreaking feature, UNMADE BEDS, homage to Godard's "Breathless" and the French New Wave. In '77 Poe wrote, produced and directed his most influential film, THE FOREIGNER, starring Eric Mitchell, Patti Astor, Duncan Hannah and Debbie Harry. In '79-'80 Poe concluded his "underground trilogy" with the bleakly beautiful SUBWAY RIDERS, the first foray in color. In the late '90's Poe wrote and directed the neo-noir FROGS FOR SNAKES, and continued writing screenplays, as well as directed two videos for Danny Goldberg's Artemis Records. In '99 Poe began teaching filmmaking at NYU/Tisch School of the Arts. In 2001, Poe "Murchian engineered" 29 PALMS, and in '02-'03 Poe produced & directed STEVE EARLE: JUST AN AMERICAN BOY, a feature portrait of singer-songwriter Steve Earle. Poe's latest plans include www.pianospecs.com - an on-line pro-active ad platform for filmmakers, designers & artists.

The long-standing discrepancy between various measurements of the ionization efficiency of the electron-beam-plasma source (EBP) when placed on the ion source test facility (ISTF), UNISOR, and the RIB platform has been resolved. The understanding of these measurements is critical to ensure peak ion source performance over the extreme range of operational conditions to which the on-line target/ion source is exposed. In addition, the measured ionization efficiencies are an indicator of good coupling between the source and the early stages of the RIB injector ion-optics. The latest measurements yielded a record Xe+ ionization efficiency of ~20% for this version of the EBP source on the RIB injector which is consistent with the ISTF measurements. We have recently developed techniques that provide reasonably accurate on-line measurements of beam emittance on the RIB injector platform. These measurements also shed light on ion source performance, and are of considerable importance in understanding and optimizing the performance of our isobaric separation system.
Over the last year, a new type of surface ionization source for the direct production of negative beams of radioactive fluorine has been developed at the ISTF. The source is based on a two-step ionization principle where Cs ions are formed on a heated surface, accelerated to a few hundred volts, and directed onto a much cooler surface. Due to the abundance of Cs and other metals such as Al in the ion source, the radioactive fluorine is transported through the ion source from the production target bound in molecular form. Both the fluorine molecules and Cs atoms collect on the cooler surface. During Cs ion impact, the adsorbed fluorine molecules are both dissociated and ejected from the surface as negative F ions. Development of this ion source has progressed through the off-line testing period to an on-line development phase using UNISOR. After resolving several early problems associated with altering UNISOR to accommodate negative ions and dealing with the problems peculiar to negative ion sources that operate with Cs vapor, we were able to achieve an ionization efficiency of 1% for stable fluorine, in very good agreement with measurements at the ISTF. Over the last several weeks, two on-line tests of this negative fluorine source were undertaken. These experiments were similar to those already carried out with electron-beam plasma sources. A low-intensity deuteron beam (~20 nA at 22 MeV) bombarded fibrous Al2O3 target material from Zircar Inc. allowing an effective overall efficiency of 17F production, release, and ionization to be measured directly. The resulting data showed yields of 17F- to be as large as 2.6x105 ions/s/microampere in the first experiment and 6.6x105 ions/s/microampere in the second experiment. These yields of 17F should be compared with those of the positive electron-beam-plasma ion source which was previously tested at UNISOR with the same target material and found to be roughly one order of magnitude larger. Since the tandem accelerator requires negative ions, positive beams must first be charge exchanged in an in-line cell, a process which has been shown to be approximately 10% efficient. Thus we are beginning the on-line development phase of the negative surface ionization source at the same effective yield as the electron-beam-plasma source plus charge exchange cell.
In parallel with the on-line development effort, a closely coupled off-line development program is underway which has also made some important strides. Apparatus has been developed to allow the injection of a well-defined trace flow of the stable homologues of radioactive species into the target/ion source. This allows evaluation of candidate target material/transport vapor/ion source combinations for producing a given RIB species to occur on a much shorter time scale than would be possible with on-line testing. Also, optimization and parametric tuning of a given ion source can be carried out for the same chemical species it will produce on-line. For example, in recent weeks, stable fluorine ionization efficiency measurements have been performed on a source of similar design to that currently being tested at UNISOR in such a fashion as to isolate specific design parameters. It was found that by adding a Re liner to the transfer line of the source, F efficiency was increased from ~1% to ~2%. In addition, adding a repulsive bias to the Cs acceleration electrode of the source further increased the F ionization efficiency to ~4%.
A key element of our ion source design and development program is a strong ion source modeling program using Monte Carlo simulations in conjunction with thermochemical databases to describe thermal transport phenomena, finite element methods to model the heating aspects of the source structure, Poisson-Vlasov equation-based software to understand the ion optics of the source, and particle/plasma dynamic balance models to understand the ion formation processes.
The Batch Mode RIB Ion Source will provide direct extraction of negatively charged ion beams of long-lived radioactive species such as 56Ni (5.9-day half-life). A multiple-position, indexing target system will allow simultaneous target bombardment by the cyclotron beam and sputter-ion-source extraction of the desired radioactive negative ion beam. The target system can be operated remotely so that newly irradiated production targets may be quickly placed within the sputter ion source section of the assembly. The design is compatible with the existing RIB platform and the robotic handling and storage systems. Initial estimates for the approved design are within budget with delivery, installation, and testing to start early this summer.
Recent developments in plans for constructing the National ISOL Facility at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) in Oak Ridge include:
Our efforts are currently centered on the design of an ISOL Facility based on the use of a small fraction of the 1-GeV proton beam from the SNS linac. The key issues of this scheme include:
More details of these plans will be given in a future update of the HRIBF Web Site.
Brad Sherrill was unanimously elected vice-chairperson for 1998. He will become chairperson on January 1, 1999, and serve for 1 year. A HRIBF Users Meeting is being planned to take place some time during this summer. The primary topic of this meeting will be the new RIB Facility that is being planned at ORNL. Should you have any suggestions or comments regarding the Users Meeting or any aspect of HRIBF, you may use the new "comment card" found on our web site at http://www.phy.ornl.gov/hribf/Users/comment_card.html. The HRIBF Calendar is now up on the web site. The schedule for this quarter may be found at http://www.phy.ornl.gov/hribf/Users/01-03-1998.html. The schedule for the next quarter (http://www.phy.ornl.gov/hribf/Users/04-06-1998.html) will be available in the near future.
A new set of charging chains was installed in the Tandem accelerator during the January tank opening. These chains replaced the defective chains that were installed in October 1996. The new chains were tested for hardness of the nickel/chromium finish and were found to be satisfactory. Before installation, the charging system was thoroughly cleaned, and new idler wheels, pickoff wheels, and contact bands were installed. Cleaning and replacing these parts was done to prevent any leftover metallic residue from abrading the new chains. Since installation of the new chains, the tandem was operated for approximately two weeks with 22.5 MV terminal voltage.
The 12C(p,gamma)13N was measured in December 1997 with the DRS in inverse kinematics: a 12C beam of energy 0.66 MeV/u bombarded a thin CH2 foil, and 13N capture recoils were detected at the DRS focal plane. Rejection of scattered beam by the separator itself was measured to be greater than 1011, and the gas ionization counter cleanly separated the remaining beam particles from the recoils. This rejection ratio agrees with that obtained by 12C(14N,14N)12C elastic scattering measurements in October 1997 and February 1998, and is consistent with expectations. However, transmission of the 13N recoils was measured to be 7%, about a factor of 7 lower than expected. The acceptance of the DRS was also measured in the elastic scattering experiments and found to be 2 msr, a factor of 3 less than achieved at Daresbury. Work is underway to improve the diagnostics and control over the beam delivered to the DRS, and to optimize the DRS optical solution for maximum transmission. We are also investigating ways to increase the acceptance of the DRS focal plane.
The Moving Tape Collector (MTC), built for the RMS by UNIRIB collaborator LSU as a tool for the spectroscopy of radioactive nuclei with halflives over several hundred milliseconds, was commissioned at the end of January. The MTC was used to transport mass-separated nuclei from reactions with a 200 MeV 58Ni beam and a 500 ug/cm2 target of 24Mg. Reaction products were implanted onto a 35 mm aluminized tape and transported to a detector array consisting of 2 Clover Ge detectors in a close 180 degree geometry and three, 5 mm thick Si(Li) detectors located in front of one of the Clover detectors. The time between two consecutive tape movements of approximately 0.5 m was varied between 10 and 60 s.
Gamma rays following the beta-decay of the ground state and the 228 keV, 5 s
isomer in 80Y were observed with the
Clovers operating in singles and in coincidence with each other or with
the Si(Li) detectors.
Furthermore, the Si(Li) detectors allowed detection of conversion
electrons from the 228 keV isomer, to determine the multipolarity
of its decay. The data from this 40-hour commissioning run,
which may lead to an extension of the
Improvements to the system will include the use of photodiodes on either side of the transport tape at the RMS focal plane to facilitate positioning the mass of interest on the tape. An option to use a 90 degree geometry for the Clover Ge detectors to minimize the detection of 511 keV annihilation radiation is also being planned. Furthermore, we plan to use a multiscaling memory to record gamma singles data without excessive deadtime losses in the data acquisition as well as an active BGO or passive lead shielding for the Clover detectors.
Angus MacNab, a Science and Engineering Research Semester (SERS) undergraduate student assigned to the Physics Division of ORNL, has been selected to present a poster on his work at the Council on Undergraduate Research's (CUR) "Second Undergraduate Research Poster Session on Capitol Hill." MacNab, a junior at Evergreen State University located in Olympia, Washington, did the research to be reported during his August to December 1997 assignment to the Physics Division at ORNL. MacNab worked with Felix Liang, a postdoc at ORNL, on a project to construct and test a new detector system for recording heavy ions located at the focal plane of a magnetic spectrometer. This instrument will be used for experimental studies at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at ORNL. The title of MacNab's poster is "Measuring Fusion Cross Sections with the Enge Split-Pole Magnetic Spectrometer."
The CUR poster session will be held in Room 106 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. April 12, 1998.

It has recently been found that an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) marketed under the brand name Mirena® may move (migrate) from its original location, possibly causing a variety of problems and requiring surgery to remove the IUD.
An article published in a 2011 edition of the Journal of the Society of Laproendoscopic Surgeons by Dr. Mark Erian et al., reviews two cases in which a Mirena® IUD migrated outside of the uterus. In one woman, the IUD migrated to "[the back surface of the abdomen] just [in front of] the cecum,"[1] a sac marking the beginning of the large intestine. In the second case, the Mirena® IUD migrated through the abdominal cavity, "close to the left leaf of the diagram."[2]
When these Mirena® IUDs migrate, the problems that ensue depend on the location to which the IUD has migrated, what, if any, damage was caused as the IUD moved, and finally, on the course required to remove the IUD. If the surgery required to remove the device is invasive, the chance for infection and other issues is raised dramatically.
For these two women, thankfully, only a process called laparoscopic retrieval was required. Laparoscopic retrieval is a surgical procedure in which a small incision is made in the abdomen and a laparoscope, a small camera, is inserted. This allows a surgeon to see inside a body and perform surgery without requiring a large incision, allowing less chance for infection and a shorter recovery time.
In the first woman described by Erian et al., aged 44 years, a Mirena® IUD had been implanted for 15 months without problem,[3] until an ultrasound scan of the uterus during a routine cervical smear "confirmed that the device was not in the uterus."[4] To locate the missing IUD, a "computerized tomography scan,"[5] or three-dimensional X-ray, was used, confirming that the IUD was on the right side of the rear of the abdominal cavity, just in front of the cecum,[6] a sac that constitutes the beginning of the large intestine.
The laparoscope camera also revealed that the device had become adhered to the cecum and a fatty layer called the omentum,[7] requiring laparoscopic adhesiolysis to sever the IUD from the woman's organs. Fortunately, this procedure was uneventful, the device was removed successfully, and the woman was discharged healthy after the procedure.[8]
The second case described in the Erian et al. piece entails the migration of a Mirena® IUD in a 19-year-old woman.[9] This woman had been using the Mirena® IUD since the time a pregnancy was voluntarily terminated, and after 10 days' insertion,[10] the woman complained of "acute severe pelvic pain."[11] Ultrasound of the uterus showed that the uterine cavity was empty by that time.[12]
"Plain X-ray"[13] revealed that the IUD had migrated through the peritoneal cavity (abdomen) to just below the diaphragm. Again, fortunately, the device was removed from this woman without complication, and she was discharged soon after surgery in good health.[14]
Discussing these two cases broadly, Erian et al. write that Mirena® is a generally effective product in terms of its contraceptive capacity, but note that the device has important side-effects. "Continuing pain and discomfort as well as irregular vaginal bleeding"[15] are written to be common side-effects, and it is also noted that migration of the IUD and perforation (cutting) of the uterus are possible dangerous side effects of which patients should be warned before IUD use.[16]
Because Bayer Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Mirena®, did not adequately warn patients and physicians of all of the dangers of its product, namely Mirena® migration, a number of Mirena® migration lawsuits are currently being filed. If you or a loved one used Mirena® and experienced Mirena® migration or other negative Mirena® side-effects, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation for your injuries.
If you believe you may have a Mirena® migration lawsuit, please do not hesitate to contact our team of Mirena® side-effects lawyers for a free, no-obligation case consultation.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Dec. 14, 2010 The death of Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke will be felt in the Afghanistan and Pakistan region, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told Pakistani media here today.
Holbrooke, the U.S. special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan, died last night.
Mullen called Holbrooke an American patriot who dedicated more than 50 years of his life to the United States. The ambassador's service started during the Vietnam War and continued through Bosnia, where he negotiated the Dayton Accords that ended the conflict there. Holbrook served as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and took on his final assignment at President Barack Obama's request in 2009.
That was when Mullen met him, the chairman said today, adding that they quickly became friends and colleagues.
"I certainly knew of him because of his rich history, … and I certainly knew of him starting with his passion and his dedication, and also his style," the admiral said. "He had a view and he had an approach that I think caused a comprehensive look at how some of the most difficult issues of our time were approached.
"Those of us who knew him will miss that," he added.
The chairman said Holbrooke recognized the critical nature of the mission in Afghanistan and Pakistan and had put together a group of people dedicated, as he was, to the success of the mission.
"I am completely confident that they will carry on," Mullen said. "They will carry on in his spirit, and I know them all well enough to know they will all carry on very specifically as he would want them to do."

We begin our feature with a classic: apple pie. The Hoosier Mama Book of Pie takes its time with this one, using an all-butter double crust, and baking a macerated apple filling in its own cooked-down, subtly spiced syrup. They've thought of everything, from a pie wash to gloss the crust, to Crust Dust, a mixture of flour and sugar used to prep the pie shell before filling. It's so good, it's served year-round at Hoosier Mama Pie Company. More
When it comes to cheese infused apple pies, cheddar isn't the only game in town. This Pushing Daisies inspired pie pairs the tartness of Granny Smith apples with nutty Gouda cheese. More
Looking to establish a new favorite comfort food? This Apple Butter Pie, with a cookie-like oatmeal pecan crust, may be just be the answer. More
This pie has a filling that's sweet, bitter, and just a little savory, a crust that shows off technical skill and a love for good old butter, and something classic yet subtly original melting all over everything. More
This crème fraîche custard pie is just what I'd always wished Clafoutis could be: a lightly sweetened, creamy custard (made better with tangy crème fraîche) that's filled with juicy, tart apples, and baked inside a crispy crust. More
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and most of our tables will feature an apple pie. If you're looking for inspiration, we've got everything from The Food Lab's perfected version of the classic to recipes that incorporate bacon and cheese or gooey caramel. More
What could possibly make the stellar duo of apples and peanut butter better? Oh yeah, how about adding our third favorite thing—pie. More
If only an apple-a-day applied to pies, we'd be the healthiest (and happiest) people around. Well, maybe we'll take our chances and bake up your recipes for apple pie, which range from sky high to adorable miniatures. More
In 1992, the unthinkable happened: McDonald's replaced their beloved fried apple pies with the vastly inferior, modern baked version. Pale and doughy, they simply don't compare with the apple pies of my youth. What to do? Just fry'em ourselves. More
Now that it's March, we can start counting the weeks before the first blush of rhubarb hits our markets. It's a time of great anticipation, but also of intense longing and impatience with Mother Nature's scarce offering. Above all, it presents us with the need to get creative with baking ideas. For example, a few weeks ago, I shared a pie made with frozen berries in an attempt to break up the doldrums a bit. Today, I'm jazzed to be sharing another one that thinks outside the seasonal box by marrying apples with tangy and sweet dried fruits. More
The addition of boiled apple cider elevates a humble egg custard pie to a dessert that tastes much like a perfect bite of apples and whipped cream. Adapted from a collection of well-loved recipes collected by Hermine B. Horman in her book A Century of Mormon Cookery, Volume 2, I tweaked the recipe to cut down the added sugar so more of the tartness of the fruit shines through. More
I'm in love with fall for about two weeks each year; the window of time when it becomes just chilly enough to wear a sweater but the sun still remains up for a reasonable amount of time. It's also the time I start getting excited about using my favorite fall flavors again. Next to Brussels sprouts and bacon sauteed in maple and Sriracha, this pie never fails to bring me back to those couple golden weeks; it's tailor made to suit my tastes, and a slice that I never want to finish. More
It looks like apple pie. It smells like apple pie. It even tastes like apple pie, but the secret to this Great Depression era classic doesn't come from an orchard, it comes from a box of crackers. More
Tackling this week's pie has been a frustrating exercise for me. From time to time, I've encountered a person who enjoys a hearty wedge of sharp cheddar cheese alongside his or her slice of warm apple pie, including De Niro's character in Taxi Driver. Hoping to understand the origins of this culinary proclivity, I've asked folks from many walks of life about the origin of this fascinating culinary preference. Each time, the answer is the same: they've learned from their parents or grandparents, and it's an important regional tradition from where they grew up. More
We've already figured out how to make great crusts and which apples to use, but I want apple slices that retain their structure as they bake, fully softening so that there is no crispness remaining, but still remaining firm enough that an individual slice retains most of its initial shape. That's exactly what we're going to address this week. More
Like burgers and pizza, I believe pie to be one of the truly perfect foods. A culinary endpoint that can be improved incrementally, but not fundamentally. The true beauty of a pie comes from that magical interaction between crust and filling. One sweet, tart, and fruity, the other buttery and rich, they complement each other in flavor and texture and create a dish that is so much greater than the sum of its parts. As such, each part deserves respect. What are the best apples for the job? More
Once when visiting Maida in Miami Beach we fell to talking about pies. "They're the hardest thing of any to get right, don't you think?" Maida asked me. True perfectionist that she is, Maida meant that to get the pastry dough to a golden flakiness and the filling to just the right stage between runny and set required a lot of work. She then told me that a young friend had just asked her to teach her to make an apple pie, and that she had thought about it for a while and decided to make a big free-standing pastry that partially enclosed a cinnamon and brown sugar-scented cooked apple filling. This pie is inspired by hers. More
Some people may be turkey people, some people may be stuffing people, and others really just show up to Thanksgiving for the pie. It's hard to beat a homemade apple pie, and here are a few good-looking recipes (along with some pear options thrown in for good measure.) More

nice review, looks like some good bud. looks almost identical to purple diesel, and description is bang on for purple diesel also
Yeah I keep on seeing supposed reviews for this strain all over but I think a lot of people are actually describing something different.
there they go speaking in tongues again
nice background with the cereal box
Yeah man where the hell did the fruity pebbels come from I thought thy discontinued them? Or maybe just in Canada.. Brutal.
Mmm, had some cannabis that tasted like fruity pebbles before, man thats been so long ago, it was a big fad in my area back around 2000-01, a lot of fruity stuff came around. Luckily now its more kushes, skunks, and diesel like hybrids (not sure if it is actual diesel). Probably is, being not very far from new york.
We still have fruity pebbles here, nothing to brag about, would rather be a Canadian resident than a U.S citizen.
This right here is bomb shit. I smoked a half of it with my homies. It tasted so much like fruity pebbles I had to drink milk after. But this aint nothing to brag about. Try some of my homies purple thunderfuck strain. Made me puke colors Sherwin Williums aint hear of.
nice review those buds looked interesting in color
Call of Duty 2? When was this review written? 2002? Lmao.
It kind of seems like someone just slapped a name on here. I don't know, just my opinion. Anyone know the genetics?
I've seen the name thrown around a bit. Seems like it comes from up here(Canada), but nobody knows the lineage from what I've ever talked or read about it. So I'm in doubt it's an actual strain at this point in time.
Yep this is a name that I think people who would do things like name a strain something else then what it is to cash in on it like to use this name to boost the sales and make it sell quicker. Thanks for the review SourKush109 on fruity Pebbles! I wish that I could find something that tasted like fruity pebbles for real!!!
Logic suggests that there is only one strain of this being carried on, seeing as it'd make no sense for many different areas having the exact same buds with very similar, if not exact replica, effects. This bud legitimately smells and tastes of fruity pebbles. There's no way people all over the world are creating copycat buds via any other means than growing it.

The last time I posted a pic of this guy, he was an itty bitty baby. We learned pretty early on that he loved to sleep like this:
He has to have his feet tucked (no pun intended LOL!) up against the wall.
He looks like he's saying, "Whaaaaat?" (Love this pic!)
Sometimes a door jam will do.
Here he is with big sister, Cali.
I often times walk into the living room and find this:
Or into the bedroom and find this:
But one thing's for sure, they both love to go out for a walk ... on a beautiful day ... with their beautiful human sisters. :D
P.S. Jess is doing pretty well. Still has headaches because of that new medication, so it will be a few weeks before we know if the surgery was a success. But surgery-wise, she is doing great - she finds it hard to refrain from over-doing it. She needs constant reminding. However, she tires very easily, so that's the excuse I use - "Go rest before you fall asleep standing up." LOL!

Pretty Little Liars Recap: Cat's Cradle.Tuesday, June 25 2013
Melissa returns to Rosewood, Hanna meets with Detective Holbrook, and Emily's mother is targeted.
At the cafe, Hanna insists her mother is not connected to the bird, nor did she kill Wilden. They watch Aria's mother with Zack. Aria is asked about Jake and admits she's jealous of her mom's love life. They wonder where Mona is and look at a mask found in Ali's room. Across the room, Zack asks Ella to go to Austria with him. She says she can't because of Aria. Melissa enters. The girls are surprised she's back. Spencer walks over, asks about Washington, and raises the issue of Wilden's death. Melissa tells Spencer they should both get out of this town.
Hanna meets Caleb outside. He tells her about finding his dad and apologizing. He says everything went okay. Caleb reassures Hanna that her mom didn't do it - shoes or no shoes. They decide to try and place the shoes in New York.
Outside school, Ella tells Aria she considered going to Austria with Zack. Aria wonders if she wanted to go. They agree that 'less than a year' is a long time to be away from someone.
Inside, Toby tells Spencer he keeps reading the doctor's notes about his mom. Spencer's worried about telling the others what he's done. He says 'A' always knows when they're at their weakest. Spencer tells Toby she'd go back to Radley to check the facts about his mother's death.
At home, Hanna brings up New York to Ashley. She talks about non-stop meetings and then going to see a show called 'Anything Goes'.
Aria and Jake watch an old movie at her place. They talk about the need to have things in common. He likes surprises too. She admits she doesn't like 'dull'.
Emily visits the doctor for her shoulder. He offers to prescribe a painkiller and she leaves.
Hanna visits Ashley at work and notices flowers on her desk. She sees a card in the trash that says 'The show was a dud, you didn't miss anything'. She takes off.
At school, Aria discusses the possibility of her mother going away with Spencer and Emily. Pam shows up to get Emily. She confronts her about taking her painkillers. Spencer and Aria watch as Pam angrily makes Em get in the car. Aria then gets a text from 'A'. "Cleaning up Rosewood one mean mommy at a time."
In a classroom, Hanna and Toby discuss the situation with her mother.
Later, at the police station, Hanna sees the suspect board for Wilden's murder. They are all on it, including her mother. The investigator appears as she's about to snap a photo. She asks why her name is on the board. He says it's nothing to worry about. Hanna spots Melissa. He goes over and shakes her hand. They enter a room together.
Caleb stops Hanna's father outside and tells him what is going on with Hanna, Ashley, and Wilden's death. He warns Tom that Hanna is going to need him to be there for her. Later, when it's dark, Tom finds Caleb again. They need to talk. Tom recounts how Ashley came to him for money when she was supposed to be in New York. Tom tells Caleb his gun is missing.
At Emily's house, she admits to Aria that she took her mother's pills. They rip the face off the mask they have and a mask of Ali's face is revealed underneath. They guess she must have modeled for it and look up the address.
At home, Hanna confronts her mother about lying. Ashley tells her if anyone asks her, she shouldn't say anything. Hanna gets a call.
Hanna joins Aria and Emily and gets up to speed on the mask. They don't know where Spencer is, so decide to go to the mask studio without her since Hanna doesn't want to wait.
Spencer and Toby break into Radley with the override codes Mona gave her. Inside, they locate the window his mother jumped from. He becomes emotional and says he gave the RV to 'A' for nothing. Spencer questions whether it's the right window and tells Toby that 'A' gave him something real.
Emily, Aria, and Hanna arrive at the mask maker's studio in the dark. He appears and chastises them for not calling first. They show him the Ali mask and ask if he made it. He says they'd better come in. He tells them Ali responded to an ad he put on the internet, and say Emily would make a perfect Medusa. He will tell them more if Emily lets him use her face. As he works on Emily, the man says Alison asked him to make many masks of her face so her friends could look like her. Hanna snoops around and startles in a mirror. The man tells Aria that Alison told him to break the mold. When the girls leave, Hanna shows them that she found something...
At home, Pam notices Emily has clay on her. She tells her that someone reported her to Family Services for being 'excessive' with her outside the school. Now a social worker is looking into them.
At the cafe, Aria gets a text from Emily that someone called a social worker on her mom. Jake joins her, but she excuses herself. She goes over and tells Ella she should go to Austria with Zack. Jake rejoins Aria. She says she was giving her mother permission to go off and join the circus. They watch Ella and Zack kiss.
Hanna arrives at Spencer's house and shows her what she found at the mask maker's studio - a mold of Melissa's face. They wonder if she and Ali went there together. Later, Melissa asks Spencer about Hanna being at the police station. She says they asked her to come in to answer questions about Wilden. Spencer glances at the mask cast as Melissa talks. Melissa wonders if Spencer had to save her, or someone she loves, what she'd do.
At home, Hanna hears the shower and tells her mother through the door that she's back. Ashley apologizes about before. Inside the washroom, Ashley is fully dressed and the sink faucet is running.
In bed, Emily gets a photo message of her mom behind bars. Pam enters and says her dad is coming home - social services called him too.
In a room, 'A' looks at Emily's x-rays.
Spoilers for Next Week on Pretty Little Liars:
A new detective arrives to investigate Wilden's death.
Emily worries about what 'A' is doing to her parents.
Spencer sets a trap for Melissa.
Candi's Comments:
Wow, really felt for Toby again this week. Jake looks good, but gave off a weird vibe compared to last week. I'm concerned for Aria being without her mother, but love the Ella/Zack thing. It appears that Melissa's a key figure in all of this. What more will we learn about her? Hmm. Also, it seems Pam and Ashley are both going to be stressed out thanks to 'A'. So good to see Caleb back!

Adkins Surname History
To understand the evolution of a surname to it's earliest origins, one must understand that even in the earliest days of a name, there have been different spellings of that name simply because surnames were infrequently written down, as few people could write. Accents and other dialectal issues heavily influenced how many variations of any surname there were due to the fact that many people were illiterate and did not know how their own name was spelled. This meant that the officials often had to guess at the spelling after hearing the person speak their name, leading to the numerous variations we see today.
Following the crusades in Europe in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries, a need was felt for a family name to replace the one given to a child at birth. This was only recognized by those of noble blood, as it granted them added prestige and a practical advantage to their status. The earliest records of the name mentions a gentleman named Adekin who had no surname. This was recorded in 1191 in County Norfolk. The next recorded version of it is in Canterbury in the year 1279, being that of a John Adekyn. Another John, John Adekynes was documented in County Surrey in the year 1332.
All throughout history, there are recordings of this surname having moved around to different countries, which makes it hard to pinpoint a specific varitation to a certain time period.
The first recorded Adkins in the Colonies is disputed due to a discrepancy in dates. One was that of Niccodcmus Adkins, who traveled from Northumberland to Virginia in 1635. The other is Sir John Adkins of Chard.
Evidence has been found that suggests that most of the Adkins people that came to the Colonies from England are direct descendants of Sir John Adkins of Chard, Somerset, England. Sir John Adkins was a descendant of William Adekyn of County Somersetshire, born in 1327 and deceased in 1377. Sir John Adkins was a well-known merchant, engaging in commerce with the Colonies. He emigrated from Bristol, England which was in close proximity to Chard, England. In his will, dated the 16th of July, 1636, Sir John refers to his grandson, son of John Adkins II, who was born in the Colonies between 1615 and 1636. He also names his wife Katherine, his eldest son Edward, his 2 other sons Francis and William, and his sister Sarah Sellwood. He also named his daughters, Katherine Wells, Hannah Ford and Elizabeth Smith. It is believed that Sir John Adkins came to the Colonies prior to February of 1623 because of personal letters that have been found addressed to him by his wife. Several other "Johns" emigrated to Virginia but these were around the middle of the seventeenth century, several years after Sir John of Chard's will was made and probated in 1636, hence the discrepancy as to who arrived first.
Today, the variations of the surname aren't as popular as they used to be, with Adkins being the most popular, Atkins following in second. There are many notables in history of this surname, some suggesting that Adekyn is a name of noble blood, of which Sir John Adkins of Chard was a direct descendant of, that most American Adkins are believed to also be descendants of. Regardless of nobility, there are also several historical documents refering to servents of Kings that share the Adkins surname.

From the Publisher:
It is taken for granted in the knowledge economy that companies must employ the most talented performers to compete and succeed. Many firms try to buy stars by luring them away from competitors. But Boris Groysberg shows what an uncertain and disastrous practice this can be. After examining the careers of more than a thousand star analysts at Wall Street investment banks, and conducting more than two hundred frank interviews, Groysberg comes to a striking conclusion: star analysts who change firms suffer an immediate and lasting decline in performance. Their earlier excellence appears to have depended heavily on their former firms' general and proprietary resources, organizational cultures, networks, and colleagues. There are a few exceptions, such as stars who move with their teams and stars who switch to better firms. Female stars also perform better after changing jobs than their male counterparts do. But most stars who switch firms turn out to be meteors, quickly losing luster in their new settings. Groysberg also explores how some Wall Street research departments are successfully growing, retaining, and deploying their own stars. Finally, the book examines how its findings apply to many other occupations, from general managers to football players.Chasing Stars offers profound insights into the fundamental nature of outstanding performance. It also offers practical guidance to individuals on how to manage their careers strategically, and to companies on how to identify, develop, and keep talent.
