I want to go to Disney World. I want to go by train. I want to 'ride the rails' like they did in the old time movies. Visions of the 'Orient Express' cloud my mind.
OK, the 'Orient Express' part might be a stretch, but taking a train trip to Florida certainly isn't. My desire to do so began about fifteen years ago, when I made frequent business trips to DC. I would usually fly into BWI (Baltimore), and catch the train into the city. On occasion I'd ride Amtrak.
Consider it partly curiosity, partly just looking for new experiences, but then and there I decided I wanted a train experience longer than 30 minutes, and since I frequently go to the Orlando area, that seemed like the place to start.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that from where I live, (near Nashville), it would take nearly three days to get to Orlando by train! To do so, you'd have to:
- Catch a midnight train in Fulton, Kentucky to Chicago (the drive to Fulton alone would be longer than a direct Nashville to Orlando flight)
- In Chicago, board a train headed for either Washington or New York
- In New York or DC, change to my final train heading to Mouse heaven
Dream shattered. C'est la vie!
Trains require those annoying little things called tracks, and my travel plans were a slave to them. They just didn't point right for me! So I abandoned that idea for another time. I really wanted to experience train travel, but I really DIDN'T want to be on a train for two or three days! Especially when you consider that that length of trip lends itself more to having a sleeper cabin, which pretty much blows the budget.
That would have been the end of it, if not for my friend 'the rail guy'. He is a guy I worked with years ago, and he and his wife are now 'train people'. The last three years, for each vacation they've journeyed out west on Amtrak. With each picture he would show, and each story he'd tell, I'd be a little more determined to somehow figure out a route.
So, armed with my limited knowledge of the trains on the Eastern Seaboard, (and particularly with the help of Amtrak's website!), I set out to find a combination rail/air trip, within budget that would allow me to "ease my train pain", not take too much time, and get me to my beloved Magic Kingdom, all without breaking the bank.
And by golly, it CAN be done!
First off, this is not about 'saving time'. Far from it. It is about a bit of Americana, riding the rails on a vacation. So enjoy the experience. It might be tiring. But you'll come away with an experience you and your family won't forget. Here's how to do it.
Step 1 - Determine if this is really for you. Do you want to take a small child on a 19 hour trip in a limited space with limited entertainment outlets? If Wifi is a concern, trains probably don't have it, although it is available at many stops along the way. Is the experience worth a full day of your vacation? Can you spend one night sleeping in a reclining chair on a moving train?
Step 2 - Find your Amtrak station. Needs to be one that serves Florida on a direct route. You'll find them all up and down the east coast, between New York and the sunshine state. (For me, its a quick plane ride to Baltimore, which has bus service for the five minute ride between BWI and the train station)
Step 3 - Determine which train schedule suits you best. You're going to spend roughly 20 hours on trains, so do you want to get to Orlando earlier in the day, or after lunch? (The Amtrak search engine gives you all your possibilities! For me, I'd rather leave earlier, wake up in the Florida sunshine and enjoy a few hours travel before arrival.) You also have to determine your final destination. Did you know you can get off the train in Orlando or in Kissimmee? Do you prefer the Silver Star? The Silver Meteor?
Step 4 - Is 'coach' going to fill your needs? If you have those 'Orient Express' thoughts, forget it. For the budget minded, you're going to get a nice, regular seat that reclines. Nice legroom, but amenities are limited. If that doesn't suit your needs and you start thinking sleeper cabin, then the budget goes out the window. Also, WIFI will be limited, although many stations along the route have it available. (Amtrak's search engine gives you an idea of each train's features.
Step 5 - Determine your return trip? After a wild week at Disney, I don't think I'd want to reverse this process, so I'd look for a quick flight back to my home city, having 'scratched my rail itch' along the way.
Finally, how do costs compare? Train travel is surprisingly affordable, so you might be pleasantly surprised. In a cost analysis, I was able to plan my initial flight, my train experience and my return flight for anywhere from 25-35% more than a direct flight would have cost me. Small price to pay for a great new experience!
This is not 'apples to apples' compared to a direct flight or driving. You're adding an experience most of us probably haven't done. If you don't have to add that extra flight to get to your Amtrak station, the cost may actually be cheaper than flying.
Amtrak offers a world of travel experiences at great costs and even full vacation packages. If you'd like to read more about rail travel in the US, read 'All Aboard: The Complete North American Train Travel Guide'. It's available from Amazon here.

It's a powerful weapon in the war against teenage drug and alcohol abuse. And it doesn't cost parents a penny. It's called the "self-esteem shield."
It's simple. Research shows that adolescents who grow up with high self-esteem are far less likely to abuse drugs or drink compared with kids who grow up without a sense of self-worth.
Here are several steps you can take to help your children develop self-esteem:
Remember that the road to self-esteem begins in infancy. It is nurtured throughout childhood, preadolescence, and adolescence by interaction with you and your spouse, the environment, and a buildup of successes along the way.
Listen carefully to your teenager when he or she is trying to tell you something. Make it clear that you're very interested. For example: Turn off the TV or put down the newspaper when the child speaks to you, and don't take phone calls during the conversation. Also, be sure to praise the child's efforts to communicate with you, whenever possible.
To teach self-respect, you must show respect at all times. Speak to your child with respect—even when upset or angry. Never give in to the temptation to shout or demean.
Focus on the positive. Praise the child's behavior when appropriate, but don't exaggerate. For children and especially adolescents, express confidence in their ability.
Enjoy your teenager. Tap into his or her humor, energy, and creative sense of possibility. The odds are high that you'll get in touch with your own youthful side.

Separation Anxiety
Who needs federal health care when you've got state sovereignty?
Fed up with the feds? Good news—24 state legislatures have already passed laws declaring themselves sovereign (only 7 governors actually signed the bills into law). Meanwhile, lawmakers in 11 states have passed measures to nullify federal health care reform (3 of those are now law).

Questions on Retro Petal Flower Swim CapsCreate new Question
Customer ReviewsLeave Your Own Review
- do like them. Review by bev
Quality Comfort Style Price
I have been ordering these caps for a few years now. I do agree with the sizing issue. They are a little too big for my head, but I adjust. Most swim caps are too small. The two I just bought are working out fine so far. I did have one previous cap where the petals started falling off within the first month (68 swims). Will continue to purchase unless quality control goes down hill. (Posted on 11/15/2015)

Quality Comfort Style Price
I have bought the Retro Petal Flower swim caps for years...one time my whole class bought one for fun. I love to enjoy life and exercise is a challenge butwear the hat and you can even do laps with retro style. Sometimes the glue shows a little or I am too hard on the flowers with my goggles. 95% of the time I am overjoyed with this hat and matching it to different swim suits is really too much fun and silliness!

- Adult swim can't handle these!! Review by Bride to Be
Quality Comfort Style Price
When they came in the mail and I saw them, a huge smile came over my face. I bought these to go in my bridesmaids tote bags as a gift. We are all goofy, and I know they'll love taking photos in these down by the beach on Lake Michigan in August! You have to wear your hair in a loose bun for them to fit perfect! But they do if you make sure you wear it that way! My mom even said they were the sake vintage caps she had around when she was a kid. Great buy! Only complaint is they were a bit pricey for swim caps we might not use regularly. (Posted on 6/3/2015)
- 5 Star Rating over the years Review by Debilyn
Quality Comfort Style Price
Aside from looking gorgeous in my retro petal cap. The size is comfortably standardized and always can be depended upon to hold all of my long hair with no yanking out of the hair by the roots. It's a very gentle fit.
I have all solid colors: Pink, Yellow, Indigo and am so glad Headcovers has continued to manufacture them over the years. These petal caps are a total favorite of mine.
Mostly I have to reorder because I've left my cap at the gym shower after swimming they end up 'lost'. Always a huge disappointment.
The only other problem is that sometimes, some petals detach so they have have to be reglued. Pull on the cap delicately with the care it deserves (Posted on 5/30/2015)

I have purchased a number of these caps and absolutely love them. I never fail to get compliments when I wear one. If there is one small flaw, it is that they do tend to stretch out fairly quickly and not seal as well when worn in chlorine. (Posted on 3/2/2015)

Quality Comfort Style Price
I have purchased 5 of these for my daughters upcoming triathlon and can't wait to be able to pick them out of the crowd! There is a difference in sizing however. The black lined ones fit much snugger than the cream ones, and if the description says "white" it really is a cream color, not white. (Posted on 3/1/2015)

- problems with sizing Review by buoyedup
Quality Comfort Style Price
I ordered three caps and had to return them because they were too small. A couple years ago I ordered two and one fit and the other was small. This time the customer service person helped by looking through the inventory and finding a a cap that was bigger than most. It is useable, but is too deep in the crown. I need it to workout so I'm using it , and yes the style is great, but you need to work out the issues with sizing.

Uber, the transportation company that furnishes personal rides with a tap of a smartphone app, is expanding its Twin Cities offerings.
Until now, Uber has operated a limo-like service with Lincoln Town Cars and the like, along with a low-cost UberX service operated by contract drivers using their personal cars as cab-style vehicles.
Now the company is providing a third offering, called UberXL, that is cheaper than the upscale version, but provides extra-spacious vehicles. These include Nissan Pathfinders, Toyota Siennas, Honda Pilots and other SUVs. Such a service is appropriate for large groups of friends out for a night on the town.
This all comes at a bit of a cost. The UberXL base fare is $3.50, compared to $1.67 for UberX. Per-minute charges are 30 cents instead of 24 cents, and per-mile charges are $2.95 instead of $1.90.
All Uber options are available via the single Uber app, in versions for Apple iOS and Google Android devices.
Uber competes in the Twin Cities with Lyft, another cab-like service notable for its furry, bright-pink moustaches installed on the fronts of autos, and the fistbumps drivers give passengers when they board the vehicles.

Spirits Alive Happenings
We Love Proper Stone Conservation
Joseph Thompson vs. Mary Ann Floyd
Stone conservation techniques and materials are ever-evolving with improvements in technology regarding materials used to make repairs and what we learn through experience in monitoring the old repairs of stones. Spirits Alive volunteers and hired Eastern Cemetery conservators make it a priority to keep abreast of the most up-to-date gravestone conservation materials and techniques.
A good example of the work of Spirits Alive does can be seen prominently on Funeral Lane. Joseph Thompson's marble headstone and base was uprighted, cleaned and mortared into place. The process and material has not altered the stone or damaged it and can be easily removed in the future should someone else need to re-do the repair.
Contrast this stone with that of Mary Ann Floyd right next door. Whoever worked on this stone had good intentions but may have created more problems by using improper materials and methods. In addition to being plain sloppy and ugly, the concrete will prove difficult to remove in order to improve the repair. For the best information on gravestone care and repairs, consult the Association for Gravestone Studies or the Maine Old Cemetery Association.

Eastern Cemetery Milestones
We conserve, maintain, and educate others about the Eastern Cemetery.
2014 was an amazing year for the Eastern Cemetery and Spirits Alive!
- 90 grave markers were cleaned, straightened or repaired by our all-volunteer conservation crew, and we hired a professional conservator to lift and restore some heavier monuments.
- Over 200 tourists enjoyed historic walking tours this summer, and their "excellent" reviews on TripAdvisor put us in the top 10 "Things to do in Portland!"
- 350 people experienced Walk Among the Shadows evening performances, now considered one of the best October events in the city.
- 300 attended Bartlett Adams tours and lectures, where they learned about this stonecutter whose Portland shop was responsible for 700 of the gravestones at Eastern Cemetery.
- We worked closely with the city to have the floor and roof of the storage shed, also known as the "Dead House," replaced, and installed a water line needed for our conservation work.
- In addition, well-attended public lectures were held January through March, helping keep the focus on Eastern Cemetery during an otherwise "quiet" time of the year.
The money raised through friendships and donations keep us going. If you want to give the gift of friendship, you can use a credit or debit card through Paypal or send a check payable to: Spirits Alive PO Box 18209, Portland ME 04112 to donate to our work today. All funds go directly to improving and educating others about the Eastern Cemetery.

Fire prevention a year-round effort
October 14, 2010
By Spc. Michael Adams, 3rd ID Public Affairs
Story Highlights
- Stewart-Hunter celebrates National Fire Prevention Week
<b>FORT STEWART, Ga. </b> - Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield took part in National Fire Prevention Week, as an opportunity to inform Soldiers, Family Members and the southeastern Georgia community on the importance of fire prevention.
Traditionally, this event happens the second week in October, in remembrance of the Great Chicago Fire, the two-day blaze that began Oct. 8, 1871, and destroyed most of the city. This year, the week of events ran from Oct. 3-9.
Paul Crowell, the assistant chief of prevention for the Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield Fire Department, is in charge of National Fire Prevention Week for both installations.
"This is the time that we need to educate people on fire safety and all related items," he said.
He added the department is campaigning to make sure Soldiers and the communities they live in make sure their fire detectors work properly by changing their batteries during daylight savings time, Nov. 7. He noted that the batteries should be changed during spring daylight savings as well.
The second main theme of the week is unattended cooking. When someone cooks, he should keep a constant eye on what he is cooking. This problem leads to 30 percent of all fires on Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, according to Crowell.
The fire department visited places all over both installations, including all post elementary schools, to inform Soldiers, Family Members and civilian employees about the importance of fire safety, Crowell said. They also gave tours of the post fire station for children at schools outside post and visited cities and towns in the area to discuss how easy and important it is to prevent fires.
On Oct. 6, Inspector Mike Gaitten, a fire inspector with the Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield Fire Department, went to the Hays Library, on Fort Stewart, to discuss the importance of fire prevention with children and what to do in case of a fire in their homes.
"If your house is on fire, you've got to get out of the house," he said at the event. "Remember that. And make sure you go where mom and dad tell you to go."
Gaitten added that Families should have an evacuation plan and a location outside of the home where Families can meet to make sure everyone in the Family is safe in case of a fire.
Bobbie Leggins, the children's programmer at the Hays Library on Fort Stewart, appreciated the fire department for what they did that day.
"It's always good to have people who are experts in that field to come," she said. "I read stories about fire safety. I talk about fire safety during the year with the children. But the firemen are the experts in their field, and so I think it's good for the children to feel comfortable with the firemen. When there is a real fire and the firemen come to their house, some of them are scared, so I think it's good they become comfortable with them."
Crowell added that National Fire Prevention Week is very important, but the department's fire safety effort is year-round.

I've seen bodies where people swear the body was at fault for focus issues. I take a lens and focus on something with a known good body, then without changing focus swap the lens the the "afflicted" body to see if it changed. Most times you need to adjust focus very slightly, but there should be no gross errors.
Diopters, bad vision, mis use of "split pea" have all been major contributors of focus issues that I have seen.Not to say there could be a problem but its rare the body is at fault.

This was a nice challenge. The double extra letters in across clues meant that you had to solve a lot of clues before the message became apparent. Taking these letters, one at a time, twice from across and then from down clues gave this: "The Third Man, Orson Welles. In grid change output from Italy to that from Switzerland" This referred to the famous quotation; "In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!" So it was a pleasing discovery to find that by replacing RENAISSANCE at 34 to CUCKOO-CLOCK, you still had real words in the downs. The unused letters in the seven-letter clues could make THE BORGIAS, thus explaining the relevance of the title.
Unused letters are shown in square brackets.

TYBEE ISLAND -- Lost beneath the shallow waters and sand off the Georgia coast lies a Cold War relic that lingered for decades only in vague memories and folklore, a 7,600-pound nuclear bomb dumped by a crippled Air Force plane.
Nearly 43 years later, questions raised by a former military pilot and a Georgia congressman have caused the government to consider renewing its search for the lost bomb near Tybee Island, 12 miles east of Savannah. The bomb is lost in Wassaw Sound, where the 1996 Olympic sailing competition was held.
The Air Force insists the bomb lacks a key plutonium capsule needed to cause a nuclear explosion, though its metal casing contains some radioactive uranium and the explosive power of 400 pounds of TNT.
''It's a nuclear bomb,'' insisted Derek Duke, a former Air Force pilot who's been researching the case for two years. ''It's like if I take the battery out of your car, then I try to convince you it's not a car.''
''It needs to be found so it moves from the dark, scary realm of lost and unknown and we know where and how it is.''
Air Force officials aren't so sure. After weighing the potential dangers of leaving the bomb against the cost of finding it, possibly $1 million or more, they plan to decide soon whether a new search is warranted.
Duke's own search has revived what had become a largely forgotten tale on Tybee Island, a beach community of 4,000 where rustic bungalows sit beside $500,000 homes.
In February 1958, a B-47 bomber on a training mission collided with a fighter jet near Savannah and had to drop the bomb to land safely. It was dumped on the south side of Tybee's uninhabited sister island, called Little Tybee. The military spent weeks searching for the sunken weapon, then gave up.
For residents who remembered, the bomb was ancient history by the time the Olympics came to town. Others had never heard the story, or discounted it as local myth better suited for ''Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil'' than the history books.
''Savannahians have all kinds of tales and legends,'' said U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston, who represents coastal Georgia in Congress. ''And part of the Savannah lore was there's a bomb off Tybee. And you'd go, 'Is there really?'''
Kingston was skeptical until Duke came to him last summer with a proposal to find the lost weapon himself using a team of former military experts with technology capable of scanning the ocean floor. Newspaper clippings from 1958 and government documents indicated the bomb was real. But how dangerous was it?
Duke points to an April 1966 letter to the chairman of Congress' Joint Committee on Atomic Energy by W.J. Howard, then assistant to the secretary of defense. Howard listed four nuclear weapons that had been lost and never recovered.
Though two were described as ''weapons-less capsules,'' and thus incapable of a nuclear blast, the Tybee Island bomb wasn't one of them. Howard listed it, along with one other lost deep in the western Pacific, as a ''complete'' weapon.
At Kingston's urging, the Air Force checked its original records on the bomb and concluded Howard was wrong.
''The bomb off the coast of Savannah is not capable of a nuclear explosion,'' said Maj. Cheryl Law, an Air Force spokeswoman. As for the uranium still in the bomb, ''to have that hurt you, you would actually have to ingest it.''
Kingston said he's willing to follow the Air Force's lead for now. But he'd like to see some effort, if only a small search covering just a few miles.
''Four hundred pounds of TNT to some folks isn't a big deal,'' he said. ''But if it's your family and your boat that hits it, it is a big deal.''
But an Air Force expert on nuclear weapons who has studied the Tybee Island bomb said damage from an accidental explosion would be minimal.
Officials believe the bomb sank at least five miles off the coast, beneath about 20 feet of water and an additional 15 feet of sand and silt, said Maj. Don Robbins, deputy director of the Air Force Nuclear Weapons and Counter Proliferation Agency.
If it exploded, the bomb ''would create maybe a 10-foot diameter hole and shockwaves through the water of approximately 100 yards,'' Robbins said. ''Even boats going over it would not even notice. They might see some bubbles coming out around them.''
An explosion might kill some fish and other sea life. But Robbins said the amount of uranium in the bomb's casing is too low to cause a serious environmental threat.
Robbins said he's not sure what method the Air Force would use to search for the bomb, though modern technology has far surpassed the radiation detectors and sonar equipment used in the 1950s.
The bomb dropped near Tybee wasn't the military's only accident involving nuclear weapons. A month later, in March 1958, a second B-47 dropped a similar bomb, without its nuclear payload, in Florence, S.C. The resulting explosion blasted a crater into the ground and injured six people.
Tybee Island residents, known to ride out hurricane warnings at the beachside bars, haven't been ruffled by the remaining wayward bomb since it plunged into the ocean in 1958.
''It was all over the newspapers and the radio. But nobody worried about it,'' said city councilman Jack Youmans, 75, who was living on the island when the bomb was dropped. ''If it's there, then it's there. That's all.''
Tybee Island Mayor Walter Parker said he hasn't received a single phone call from residents about the bomb. And John Mack Adams, an island retiree who writes about local history, hasn't heard much other than a friend's joke that their property values might plummet.
''A lot of the locals have lived here all their lives. They look at it kind of like a crap shoot,'' Adams said. ''These folks don't scare too easily.''

I was wondering if dressage lessons might help me in the AQHA ring? I would think I would be better off with those then hunt lessons because dressage would be closer to the way I ride. Do you think that is an honost assumption?
How would I go about choosing a dressage trainer? What would a fair price be? (I am not upper level or anything, probablay local level)

I tried the search and found nothing. My question is, if a car is passing me on a bicycle, and there is 0 oncoming traffic, is he allowed to cross the double yellow line to give me some space? Most cars do and I do it myself too - but yesterday I had this rather unpleasant discussion with one gentleman.
If it matters, it happened in Virginia.

In Vitro Fertilization
What is IVF?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the process of combining the man's sperm and the woman's egg in a culture dish and allowing them to fertilize in a laboratory. There are many steps involved in the IVF process and treatment requires frequent visits to our clinic. For new patients, a typical IVF cycle may take 6-12 weeks from the time you start your prescreening testing to the transfer of the embryo.
Reproductive Medicine Center's IVF success rates.
Learn more about IVF success rates and how to interpret the results.
IVF might be an option for you if:
- You have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility
- Your fallopian tubes are blocked
- Your male partner has problems with his sperm
- You have been unsuccessful with other treatments like fertility drugs or IUI
The IVF cycle explained
1) Stimulation of Ovaries
The cycle starts when your doctor prescribes medications to stimulate your ovaries to produce several eggs in one cycle. These medications will also control when you ovulate. Some of the medications are given by injection, but one of our nurses will teach you and your partner how to prepare the injections and give them.
2) Monitoring
Throughout your cycle, you will come into the clinic for several ultrasounds and blood tests to determine how well the medications are working. The ultrasounds provide pictures of the follicles to measure their development in the ovaries. The blood tests will check for estradiol, a hormone that is a form of estrogen. As the follicles mature, we typically see a rise in the estradiol level as well. Both of these tests give us an indication of how well the medications are working. During these visits you'll mostly see the nurse and the laboratory staff. Your doctor is monitoring your progress "behind-the-scenes" by reviewing your ultrasounds and lab reports following each visit. He will determine if any changes need to be made in your stimulation medication protocol.
3) Egg Retrieval
Once the follicles have matured you will be instructed to give yourself an injection of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). Approximately 36 hours after the shot you will come in to our clinic for the egg retrieval process. During the egg retrieval process a large needle is inserted through the wall of the vagina into the ovary and follicles to aspirate the eggs. Your doctor will discuss with you in advance the medications that are used to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
4) Fertilization in the Lab
One of the most fascinating aspects of the IVF process occurs in the laboratory. This is where the embryologist mixes the eggs and the sperm together. If fertilization occurs, the embryologist will monitor the fertilized eggs over the next 2-5 days. Only the best quality embryos will be selected for transfer. The embryologist will communicate to you the number of fertilized eggs and the progress of their development.
5) Embryo Transfer
Three to five days after the retrieval, an embryo is transferred back into the uterus. Your doctor will discuss with you the number of embryos to transfer. Any high quality unused embryos may be frozen for future pregnancy attempts. Approximately 2 weeks after the transfer you will take a pregnancy test.
For Couples Using Donor Eggs
The IVF process for couples using donor eggs will be somewhat more complex. Egg donation might be considered when the intended parent is unable to provide the eggs herself. Egg donors may be anonymous or known. All donors, known or unknown must be cleared through the same comprehensive screening process.
We know that dealing with infertility can be emotionally draining and an overwhelming time for many couples. And for those of you considering In Vitro Fertilization, you probably have many questions and concerns. At Reproductive Medicine Center, you'll be partnered with a RN Care Coordinator. Your Care Coordinator will be there to help walk you through the initial pre-screening steps and the complete scheduling process for IVF. We want to assure you that we'll be by your side each step of the way!
Reproductive Medicine Center is excited to offer our patients with the first and only FDA-cleared Eeva Test™, a test that aids embryologists in selection of embryos with the highest developmental potential, which is a critical step in the IVF process. Click here for a video with more information about the Eeva Test™ process.
Traditionally, embryologists select embryos based on observations of the embryos' visual appearance under a microscope at a fixed period of times during the first few days of development. The Eeva Test uses non-invasive, time-lapse imaging of embryos during incubation and analyzes how the embryos are developing based on cell division parameters, and categorizes them into "High" and "Low". Your IVF team can then combine the quantitative information provided by the Eeva Test with traditional embryo morphology when making the decision regarding which embryo(s) to transfer.
The results of the Eeva Test have been shown in clinical studies to increase the ability of embryologists to accurately identify embryos with the highest developmental potential.
The Eeva Test is non-invasive and safe. Research has shown that imaging embryos has no detrimental effects on embryo development.
The Eeva Test is prescribed by your physician at Reproductive Medicine Clinic, who will discuss all the potential benefits and risks. Please talk to your physician to see if the Eeva Test is right for you. Click here to learn more.

He made four guest appearances on Perry Mason, three of them as the murder victim: Martin Selkirk in the 1959 episode, "The Case of the Deadly Toy," Martin Somers in the 1962 episode, "The Case of the Tarnished Trademark," and golf pro Chick Farley -- an unnervingly close channelling of James Cagney -- in the 1966 episode, "The Case of the Golfer's Gambit." Among his other television appearances were the roles of Jason McGuire and Paul Stoddard in Dark Shadows, Mac in Somerset, Vaughn Leland in CBS's Dallas, and in such films as The Time Travelers (1964), Daddy's Gone A-Hunting (1969), Joe (1970), Dear Dead Delilah (1972) and Nightmare Honeymoon (1974). He also was a respected stage actor, having won the Theater World Award for his starring role in "The Liar". He also portrayed Jean Paul Marat on Broadway in Marat Sade.[1][2]
Patrick appeared in more than 1800 guest roles on television programs during his four-decade career, including stints on Tales of Tomorrow (1952), Kraft Theatre (1949–57), Gunsmoke (1958), Playhouse 90 (1958), Sugarfoot (1959), Buckskin (1959), Peter Gunn (1959), U.S. Marshal (1959-1960), 77 Sunset Strip (1960), Bonanza (1960), Wanted: Dead or Alive (1960), Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1960–61); Hawaiian Eye (1962), The Virginian (1962), Laramie (1960-1963), Perry Mason (1959-1966), Empire (as Hoot Hinkley in "The Tiger Inside", 1963), The Dakotas (1963), Lost in Space (1966, as Keema "The Golden Man"), Dark Shadows (1967-1970), and Dallas (1979-1984, as Vaughn Leland).[1]
Patrick played Sheriff Patterson in the film House of Dark Shadows (1970). He was television's first vampire (as Dennis Harrison) in a 1950 episode of "Stage 13" (1950).[1]
Personal life[edit]
Dennis Patrick Harrison was born March 14, 1918, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a family of Irish descent. He graduated from North Catholic High School in 1935.
Patrick married Amelia Baines and had two children; they divorced in 1969. He remained married to actress Barbara Cason, his second wife, from 1970 until her death in 1990. Patrick died in a fire at his home in Hollywood, aged 84.[1]

"Like that good Hole album, I can live through this," An Horse's Kate Cooper sings on "Camp Out", and it turns out to be a singularly appropriate reference. Not because there is anything on the Australian duo's (drummer Damon Cox is the other half) debut EP that resembles the pained howl of Courtney Love's most celebrated hour, but rather on account of how much Not Really Scared's five songs recall the heyday of girl-fronted indie-guitar-rock bands that all to briefly flourished with Hole at the forefront. Cooper's songs are sturdy, ringing and consistently tuneful, recalling many of the era's shining lights without aping anyone's particular quirks: hear Belly's dense melodic atmosphere without any of Tanya Donnely's fragile eccentricity, Liz Phair's instinctive way around an elemental pop hook without her trademark wry deadpan, Veruca Salt's knack for crafting super-sized choruses (to which the bounding, inexorable "Warm Hands" is the heir apparent) without Nina and Louise's arena-rock snarl. Resolutely, and mercifully, song-focused, An Horse give us the best of both worlds by virtue of being the rare modern pop band that recognizes that gloss is not the same thing as refinement, and the rare indie-guitar band that understands that one-note minimalism an automatic stamp of true artistry. Fresh off of a hopefully profile-boosting tour with the equally deft Tegan and Sara, An Horse have proven themselves with Not Really Scared to be promising band well worth watching.

The Roosevelts: An Intimate History (Abridged / Compact Disc)
Special Order
An extraordinarily vivid and personal portrait of America's greatest political family and its enormous impact on our nation-the tie-in volume to the PBS documentary to air in the fall of 2014.
This handsome, engaging, revelatory book is an "intimate" history of three extraordinary individuals from the same extraordinary family-Theodore, Eleanor, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Geoffrey C. Ward, distilling more than thirty years of thinking and writing about the Roosevelts, and the acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns help us understand for the first time that, despite the fierce partisanship of their eras and ours, the Roosevelts were far more united than divided. All the history the Roosevelts made is here, but this is primarily a book about human beings, each of whom somehow overcame obstacles that would have undone less forceful personalities, and all of whom wrestled in their lives with issues still familiar to the rest of us-anger and the need for forgiveness, courage and cowardice, confidence and self-doubt, loyalty to family and the need to be oneself. This is the story of the Roosevelts-no other American family ever touched so many lives.
About the Author
Geoffrey C. Ward is an author and screenwriter of various documentary presentations of American history. He wrote the television mini-series The Civil War with director Ken Burns and has authored or coauthored numerous books, including A First-Class Temperament and Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson.
Dayton Duncan, writer and producer of Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery, is the author of five other books, including Out West: An American Journey along the Lewis and Clark Trail, in which he retraced the route of the expedition. He has been a consultant on many of Ken Burns's documentary films and was the co-writer and consulting producer of the PBS series The West.
Ken Burns, director and producer of Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery, has been making award-winning documentary films for more than twenty years, including the landmark PBS series The Civil War and Baseball, The West, and Thomas Jefferson. The subject of his next biographical film will be Frank Lloyd Wright, and he is currently producing a series on the history of jazz.

Notices of the passing of members of the Carleton community. For notices of alumni passings, please see Alumni Farewells.
Willard TuomiNovember 10, 2015
Willard Tuomi, age 84, died on Nov 8th after a long illness. Willard taught and coached at Carleton for 37 years, beginning as an Instructor in Physical Education for Men in 1955 and retiring in 1992 as an Associate Professor of Physical Education for Men. Along the way, he briefly coached basketball, but focused on baseball, football, and was the head coach of men's swimming and diving. Willard was greatly appreciated by his colleagues and students for his loyalty and his laid-back demeanor. He was known for his sense of humor and clever sayings, including stories about the summer of 1988, when Willard coached football in Finland—which was anything but "real" football then. His nickname, "Waldo," from his Hibbing High School—where he was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2003—jokingly followed him here to Carleton.
Zach Brokaw '18June 22, 2015
Rising sophomore Zach Brokaw '18, of Woodstock, Illinois, was killed in an automobile accident on Saturday, June 20, 2015. Zach was an impressive and engaging young man. He lived on third Nourse, wrote elegantly for the Carletonian, and loved his student job on the helpdesk and as a tech support assistant with Information Technology Services. He had a passion for nature, especially birds and birding, and had been selected to work as a student naturalist with the Cowling Arboretum's Cole Naturalist Program this fall. Zach was also a member of the Climate Justice Coalition and the Tae Kwon Do Club.
Roger KirchnerApril 2, 2015
Roger Kirchner, 78, died at home on Tuesday, March 31st. A brilliant 1958 Carleton graduate, Roger returned to campus to teach Mathematics here for 38 years. He began as an Instructor in Mathematics in 1962 and retired as an emeriti Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science in 2000. Colleagues describe Roger as a mathematician's mathematician. He was broadly trained and interested, the person other faculty could go to for help in almost any area of math. Roger was an inventive teacher, helping students learn how mathematicians think and approach problems, and thus preparing them very well for advanced work in math. He was dependable and supportive of all the activities in the department, a cohesive force in a department admired for its togetherness.
Ross ShogerMarch 18, 2015
Ross Shoger, age 85, died on March 16th after a long illness caused by a severe stroke in 2010. Ross taught Biology at Carleton for 35 years, coming to Carleton in 1959 as an Instructor in Zoology, retiring in 1992 as an Emeritus Professor of Biology, and continuing to teach courses for two more years. Ross was a rigorous but popular teacher, communicating his curiosity and awe of the natural world to students with great care and humor. For many years, Ross was also the pre-med advisor, mentoring hundreds of students who went on to become doctors. He stayed in touch with many alumni, sometimes traveling widely to visit them.
Wayne CarverMarch 17, 2015
Wayne Carver, age 91, died on Sunday, March 15th at home after a long illness. Wayne taught English at Carleton for 38 years, beginning as an instructor in 1954 and retiring as the William Laird Professor of the Liberal Arts in 1992. Significantly in his life, Wayne grew up in Utah and was a life long member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, "but a dissenter!" He received his BA from Kenyon College. Wayne helped generations of Carleton students (including this one) discover the beauty and depths of poetry and literature. In addition to teaching, he helped to launch the teacher certification program and the American Studies Program, moving parts of the college toward interdisciplinary studies.
Qiguang ZhaoMarch 14, 2015
Professor Qiguang Zhao died of a heart attack on Friday, March 13th, while in Florida. He was 67 years old. The Burton and Lily Levin Professor of Chinese, Qiguang came to Carleton in 1987 and single-handedly launched the Chinese language program. He initiated the Chinese Studies in China off-campus program in Tianjin and now Shanghai, leading the program more than 10 times. Qiguang was a favorite professor of many students, teaching a popular spring course on the "Taoist Way of Health and Longevity," which included leading Tai Chi on the Bald Spot. He also taught courses in advanced Chinese, such as Chinese Poetry and Classical Chinese. He often taught using "huajing," drawing lively cartoons that illustrated his points. Qiguang loved watching students grow in understanding of themselves and the world through experiencing another culture. But his knowledge and intelligence, kindness and generosity, and willingness to think with them about the big questions of life, were as much a factor in students' growth and learning.

Two animated features from Japanese masters have been selected for the 65th edition of the Venice Film Festival: Mamoru Oshii's THE SKY CRAWLERS and Academy Award-winner Hayao Miyazaki's PONYO ON THE CLIFF BY THE SEA (GAKE NO UE NO PONYO).
The films are in competition for the Golden Lion award at the festival, which will be August 27-September 6 in Venice, Italy.
Oshii is the only Japanese animation director who has had their work selected for competition at both Cannes and Venice. Production I.G.'s THE SKY CRAWLERS will be released in Japan on August 2. Oshii's 1995 film adaptation of famed manga GHOST IN THE SHELL is being remade by Steven Spielberg in the U.S.
THE SKY CRAWLERS is set in another possible "now" -- a world that has eradicated war. Private war contractors enlist fighter pilots known as Kildren to perform in an endless "war as a show" that people watch on TV and read about in the papers. Kildren don't age, and live in a state of eternal adolescence until they die in the sky. When pilot Yuichi Kannami arrives to his new airbase, the only things he recalls are that he's a Kildren and how to operate a fighter plane. Base commander Suito Kusanagi behaves as if she's been impatiently waiting for him. What does Suito know about Yuichi's past? What are the secrets behind the Kildren?
PONYO is the reclusive anime director Miyazaki's latest feature animation; Miyazaki will be making an appearance at Venice. PONYO's hand-drawn animated story follows a 5-year-old boy and his relationship with a goldfish princess who wants to become human. It was released in Japan on July 19.
Miyazaki's SPIRITED AWAY won the 2002 Best Animated Feature Oscar and 2004's HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE was nominated for the 2005 Best Animated Feature. SPIRITED AWAY was the first anime film to win an Academy Award.

How Would YOU Wear It? Lindsay Lohan
Wasn't it just a couple days ago when Lindsay Lohan was Celebrity Style-worthy? Now she's back to being too trendy and unflattering.
LL is committing many crimes of fashion here. First, I have a problem with her practically living in leggings. There's a time and place for them and it's not always! What's worse is the white sequined jacket; it's too gaudy. Sequins are good but only on a minimal basis. I'd ditch the jacket, leggings, and oversized cross, and throw on a classy pair of wide-leg jeans and a slick black and white coat. Is that too much to ask for?

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
