Feel like I dodged a bulletJournal Entry: Thu Dec 13, 2012, 2:31 PM
Back in July, I went in for my usual thyroid check-up (still every 6 weeks) and my doctor noted that my thyroid is enlarged. She told me to get an ultrasound to have it checked out but since I was getting married in a few months, and since I didn't have health insurance, the cost of an ultrasound (around $400) was too much for me to take on.
After the wedding, I was able to get put on my husband's health insurance so I got my ultrasound finally a few weeks ago. The results were that they found a nodule in my left lobe. The nodule is classified as suspicious. Meaning suspicious for carcinoma. The nodule is solid and has blood flow to it, so my doctors were very concerned that it was cancer. So, I was rushed to get a FNA biopsy.
I'll just tell you right now, FNA biopsies are no fun. D: They take a thin needle (smaller than a blood needle, but longer than one) and they prod it into your nodule to gather cells to look at. First, they numb your neck with lidocaine. And, for anyone who has gotten lidocaine administered to their skin, you know that it BURNS like the heat of a thousand suns! D: I'll never understand why a numbing medication is so painful. Anyway, then they stick the needle in and it's not like they just stick it in and pull it out again, like pulling blood. They take the needle and push it in and out a bunch of times and move it around the area. The movement sort of reminds me of when you push your straw in and out of your cup lid really fast. So, they did this 6 times to make sure that they got the cells they needed and the area is bruised really nicely now. It feels like I got punched in the throat. @__@
Anyway, this was done a few days ago and I got my results back today. The nodule is benign. But, since they aren't removing it, my doctor still assures me that it could become cancerous at some point so it's important to keep an eye on it. So, now I will need to get an ultrasound every 6 months to keep tabs on it. Either way, I feel like I dodged a bullet today!

Luckily, I guess with Thyroid cancer, its basically as simple as removing it to cure it. Which is a really good thing! Did she have to do radioactive iodine after though?
At least it's benign at the moment, though. I hope it doesn't become cancerous. Good luck with your ultrasounds!
I'm glad it's benign, but it's still kind of scary D:
and that test...sound terrible <A<;
xD but I am glad everything is alright hopefully it never amounts to anything and you stay healthy <3
I'm glad they at least found it, and I'm glad that it's benign. Good luck!
But still, if you think about it, the people performing the ultrasounds still don't want to lose money, so if they charge $80 then it must not cost much more than that to keep them maintaining their machines and still make a profit. So, why it explodes to $400 without insurance, I'll never understand. Especially considering all they do is take a picture with this machine, they arent doing anything like my biopsy where they use needles and so on.
My mother suffers from a thyroid disease.
And ah, hearing about the needle made me clutch my own throat!
I definitely hope it stays benign.
It's good you take care of yourself and get checked up often.
I'm glad to hear that you're at least doing well for the most part! Hoping maybe that nodule just goes away on it's own and it was just some weird lump or something... maybe it's from all of the thyroid stuff going on? Not even modern medicine seems to know nowadays
Hope things are going well with you and your husband! :>
I might talk to my doctor about having it removed or something since I am wanting to try for a family myself sometime in the next year or so. And I really do not want th same scenario to happen @___@

Who Lives in the Forest? Sound Book features five animals and corresponding animal sounds. It also has pop-up pictures. The 10-page book features a bear, fox, rabbit, hedgehog, and owl. Each spread has an animal that pops up along with a couple sentences about that animal. Kids press the sound buttons on the right to hear the animal noises as they read.
For kids who love exploring and learning about animals, including animal sounds, this book is ideal. The cartoon illustrations are cute and colorful, and most of the sounds are realistic.
Who Lives in the Forest? Sound Book is for ages 3 and up.
The book does require three button cell batteries, which are included.
One thing that may be a bit misleading is that the front of the book says "funny animals", but the animals and descriptions featured are not exactly funny. In fact, the rabbit in the book hides from a scary wolf, which may be a bit frightening to young children.

With the husband away, the mommy will play. She got her boy toy to come over, but Molly, his girlfriend, got some intel about his car though. Molly got pissed when her man hung up on her because she called him to find out where he was and why his car was in front of Mrs. Fisher's house. Molly went over Mrs. Fisher's house to investigate. She sneaked in from the side door and found her boyfriend balls deep in Mrs. Fisher's face. It was almost blew up into a cat fight, but Mrs. Fisher took care of business and taught Molly a lesson or two about man pleasing and pussy eating. Chad was super stoked because he got the best of it. Big titties and tight young pussy. The best part was when he filled Mrs. Fisher's pussy up with some white gold and Molly licked it up.

Does anyone know when the first folder was made? I had thought the folding bicycle was a 20th century innovation for paratroopers.
Yesterday on Ebay I stumbled, much to my surprise, on this:
Early in the 1890's The Dwyer Folding Bicycle Co. in Danbury, Conn., U.S.A. produced "the very latest and best improvement in bicycles."
The manual for one of their bikes was up for auction. Fortunately, I am the high bidder.

Eat this Word: FarofaWHAT? Flour power. "The farofa is an acquired taste that, once actually acquired, is difficult to give up," according to the website of the Brazilian Embassy in London. They've definitely acquired it in Brazil, where the fried manioc (cassava or yuca) flour can be found on tables across the country. It can be fried in butter, pork fat, or oil, and cooked with onions, raisins, sausage, bacon, bananas, olives, eggs, or cabbage (among hundreds of other options that depend on the cook's creativity). It's eaten hot or at room temperature, and its addictive crunchy yet starchy texture, as well as its sauce-soaking quality, make it an essential topping for a variety of dishes, including the nationally acclaimed feijoada. WHERE? Adam Schop's Beard House dinner WHEN?
What We Loved in 2010
The JBF editors collectively checked in at hundreds of restaurants and events in 2010; here are a dozen dishes that made us sit up and pay attention (and lick our plates clean):
Curtis Duffy's Alaskan King Crab with Cucumber Consommé, Kalamansi, Floral Cream, and Lemon Balm at the James Beard Awards
The ingredient list reads like a perfume label, but there was nothing overpowering about this dish: the aromatics perfectly complemented the creamy chunks of crab. We also loved the Grant Achatz protégé's artful presentation.
Linton Hopkin's Roast... Read more >
Eat This Word: Chai
WHAT? Spicy sipper. Chai is the Hindi word for "tea," which makes a coffeehouse order of a "chai tea latte" redundant. (The word passed into Chinese and Japanese as "cha.") The fragrant, milky beverage we're referring to goes by "masala chai" in India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Tibet, where it is an integral part of every social gathering. To make the tea, a combination of sweet and savory spices such as cloves, star anise, peppercorn, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and fennel are ground, boiled in water, steeped with black tea, strained, and mellowed with milk and honey. According to Indian cooking expert Julie Sahni, "The people in cooler parts of India have traditionally added spices to their tea, not just for flavoring, but also to induce heat in the body. Spiced teas are particularly welcome after an Indian meal, because they provide a gentle, more graceful ending to the intricately spiced Indian dishes." She adds, "A plain

Ok, so I'm thinking of getting a couple cloth diapers to try them out. (DH is going to freak when I tell him this!!) I'm thinking of going the pre-fold with diaper covers route. What are your thoughts on this for you experienced cloth diaper mamas? Also, any suggestions where I can get a good deal on a couple to try? I am not opposed to buying used, as I've heard they are very durable and wash very well.
Also, how much do you estimate you are saving by cloth diapering? Do you also use cloth wipes?
I know I can always count on you ladies for advice!!


text: global warming USDA Aims to Combat Climate Change By Abby Wendle • Apr 26, 2015 Abby Wendle The U.S. Department of Agriculture's new plan offers incentives to farmers who volunteer to take steps that would help cut agriculture's contribution to climate change. Speaking to an audience at Michigan State University, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the new plan will give farmers, ranchers, and foresters the technical support and financial incentive to implement more conservation measures on their land and in their operations. Climate Change and the Midwest By Bill Knight • Nov 7, 2012 Climate change is not just an abstract, an inconvenience, or a disaster limited to Arctic ice or coastal populations during superstorms like Hurricane Sandy. Illinois is already affected and climate change could hurt us all worse. The saying "think global, act local" is recalled, but there are no simple or easy answers. Warming Trend in Illinois By Rich Egger • Feb 27, 2012 The US Department of Agriculture is confirming what gardeners in Illinois already knew: it has become warmer in the state during recent years. The change can be seen in the USDA's plant hardiness map that appears on the back of packages for seeds and plants. State climatologist Jim Angel said the previous map was based on a much colder period in Illinois history. "Since then we've had some milder winters in the 1990s and the early 2000s, and that's reflected in the new map," Angel said.

Could do with including a breathalyser as this would make it a full kit, but they are available as a separate item. Shame that the headlight converters are only single use 03 August 2015Rated 1 out of 5 by Trumpton73 Very disappointing First aid kit just in plastic packaging not in a container, so will become disorganised quickly once opened. Headlamp deflectors supplied not as shown in the pictures and did not come with any fitting instructions. Worse still, they detached themselves from my car within 10 miles of arriving on the continent! Arguably these are the most important part of the kit and was very disappointed with the performance. On boarding the ferry found out that they sell a better value package, as it came with a bulb kit too. 05 October 2014Rated 5 out of 5 by PaulieHHHHHH Travel Lit Great value and certainly cheaper than buying all or even just some of the items separately! 25 August 20141-4 of 4

1st ultrasound no fetus
W(28) + B(35) = ♥ Married Sept. 2010 ♥
Jayden - Angel at 23 weeks ♀ Jordan - Angel at 13 weeks ♂
**Blessed with our RAINBOW** Kynzlee - 07/15/13 Brielle - 08/6/15
I had the same thing happen yesterday. Repeat ultrasound next thursday (10 days). I am supposedly exactly 8 weeks.
Nicole (32) + DH (36)
We had our Rainbow Baby, Wyatt 12/13/13!
My LMP was in September. I received a BFP on Nov. 13th. US on that day showed only a gestational sac. Three US later we have a heartbeat and a new EDD. There is a possibility that you ovulated late and the dates don't match up. Based on my LMP I should be 10 weeks but I am actually 7 weeks. Keep the faith and wait it out as long as you are not cramping, spotting, and/or bleeding. Every pregnancy is different. Sending positive thoughts your way.
I'm in the same situation, however I've been told I have a tilted uterus which can make it difficult to see anything more than the sac earlier in pregnancy. I just had my second HCG test done a couple days ago and am anxiously awaiting the results, but apparently it is very common to have a tilted uterus (about 1/3 of women) and to not see the embryo until 8, 9 or 10 weeks. I'm still having strong symptoms (breast tenderness, m/s, exhausted) so I'm holding on to that hope and you should too! Try not to worry! I'm sure things will be fine.
1st pregnancy (EDD 7.28.13) & 1st m/c (1.11.13)
Sometimes it's too early to see the baby, not sure how often it happens at 8 weeks, but you could be not as far along as you thought. They had a hard time finding our baby at 6 weeks. Don't be discouraged, keeping my fingers crossed for you. Good luck!
Did they do a belly or a vaginal u/s? I've heard it can be hard to see anything that early on a belly u/s.

Storm hits Poultney hardestStaff Report | July 03,2014Green Mountain Power spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said that Poultney, where winds in excess of 70 mph were reported, was the hardest hit by storm that blew into the region this evening.
"We've got multiple polls down, wires down," she said at around 7:30 p.m. "There's a lot going on in Poultney. We've got, at this point, 363 seperate events and about 5,000 customers without power and 2,000 of those are in Poultney."
Other heavy concentrations were in West Rutland and the city.
"Rutland was damaged by the same storm cell coming through, but to a lesser extent," she said.
Schnure said GMP had 55 of its own two-person line crews out along with 32 contract line crews and 50 contract tree crews.
She said further outages were possible as the storm system moved through the state and that the company expected it would not have power restored to everyone until the end of Friday.MORE IN This Just InLike the rest of you, Ive spent the past week immersed in the local conversation about welcoming...

Dorma Door Controls, Inc.
|Dorma Door Controls, Inc. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|Positional multiplex keyway system - A method and apparatus for extending an existing simplex or multiplex lock-and-key system that includes a family of first keys each having a first profile and of a corresponding plurality of first locks each operable by a first key and each having a first keyway configured for accepting the first key profile. Second keys of a new family are defined with a core section corresponding to the first key profile and a narrowed projection extending from the bottom of the core section. Corresponding second locks have a second keyway profile defined as the compliment of the second key profile, thus including a complimentary core section and a foot recess extending from the bottom of the second keyway core section. The second locks accept a second key positioned at the second keyway baseline to normally lift the lock pin stacks and operate the second lock. The second locks also accept the first keys but the first keys cannot enter the narrowed foot recess of the second keyway and are accordingly elevated in the second keyway above the keyway baseline, and are therefore unable to normally lift the lock pin stacks to operate the second lock.

(Page 2 of 4)
My house was built in 1838 by a writer-historian-physician, a Unionist who wrote ''Traditions and Reminiscences of the American Revolution, Chiefly in the South.'' Of equal interest to me is a more recent owner, a writer-historian-transsexual who restored the house during the 1960's; she wrote ''Man Into Woman.'' In my yard is a free-standing piece of brick wall with a window in it, relic of a burned kitchen-house dating from 1750, and an elaborate pet cemetery with little statues, dating from 1965. That's a rich history, I figure. Complicated and mysterious.
Peter Ackroyd
Egypt, Oct. 2, 1988
Yet even here one cannot forget the desert. Like the faces of Ramses II outside the temple at Abu Simbel, it is always there, always pitiless -- it is the region of death, the region of blankness, the region that the stone temples are set to defy for eternity.
Michael Cunningham
New York City, Sept. 16, 2001
Gansevoort Street, a dark and melancholy beauty, runs its modest course from east to west in downtown Manhattan's desolate riverfront neighborhood and empties into the opaque waters of the Hudson. It was, for most of its life, merely remote and sinister; it is now remote, sinister and fashionable. In that regard, it could probably exist nowhere else.
Barbara Kingsolver
Canary Islands, May 17, 1992
The other six islands have airports now; Tenerife and Gran Canaria are reasonable tourist destinations for Europeans in a hurry. But the traveler who wishes to approach or escape La Gomera takes the sea road, as Columbus did. I am such a traveler, in no particular hurry on a bright Saturday. I've been told dolphins like to gambol in the waves in these waters, and that sighting them brings good luck. The sun on the pointed waves is hard as chipped flint but I stare anyway, waiting for a revelation....The blue cliffs of La Gomera seem close enough to Tenerife to reach by means of a strong backstroke. It's hard to imagine living on islands this small, in plain view of other land, and never being stirred to go to sea. Suddenly the dolphins appear, slick and dark, rolling like finned inner tubes in the Atlantic.
Saul Bellow
Paris, March 13, 1983
Until 1939 Paris was the center of a great international culture, open to Spaniards, Russians, Italians, Rumanians, Americans, to the Picassos, Diaghilevs, Modiglianis, Brancusis and Pounds at the glowing core of the Modernist art movement. It remained to be seen whether the fall of Paris in 1940 had only interrupted this creativity. Would it resume when the defeated Nazis had gone back to Germany? There were those who suspected that the thriving international center had been declining during the 30's, and some believed that it was gone for good. I was among those who came to investigate, part of the first wave. The blasts of war had no sooner ended than thousands of Americans packed their bags to go abroad. Among these eager travelers, poets, painters and philosophers were vastly outnumbered by the restless young, students of art history, cathedral lovers, refugees from the South and the Midwest, ex-soldiers on the G.I. Bill, sentimental pilgrims, as well as by people, no less imaginative, with schemes for getting rich. A young man I had known in Minnesota came over to open a caramel-corn factory in Florence. Adventurers, black marketeers, smugglers, would-be bon vivants, bargain hunters, bubbleheads -- tens of thousands crossed on old troopships seeking business opportunities, or sexual opportunities, or just for the hell of it. Damaged London was severely depressed, full of bomb holes and fire weed, whereas Paris was unhurt and about to resume its glorious artistic and intellectual life.
Muriel Spark
March 18, 1984
Abroad is peculiar names above the shops.
Strange, too, the cookery and the cops. The people
Prattle with tongues there, they rattle
Inscrutable money, and with foreign eyes
Follow your foreign eccentricities.
Sue Miller
AFRICA, March 4, 2001
In Zanzibar, we are staying at a hotel at the edge of the old part of the city -- Stone Town -- with rooms that look out directly over the ocean. The city itself seems enormous and very civilized by contrast to Lamu, the shops and clothing more modern, the night life more varied. But on our first morning there, I'm reminded of the similarities that underlie these differences. I'm up early on my terrace, sharing my roll with a greedy crow, when I see a boat putter by slowly, laden with so many men that it sits precariously deep in the water. One by one, over a wide circle, they jump in, fully clothed. It's only slowly that I understand that each of them must be holding the edge of an immense net. Once the whole thing is spread out, they begin swimming toward each other, splashing the water in front of them to drive the fish forward. It takes almost an hour to close the circle. When they pull the net up into the boat, I can see in the early morning light the silvery glint of what they've caught.
Kingsley Amis
London, Oct. 5, 1986
My local, so local that even I can reach it on foot, is called The Queen's, commemorating not the present sovereign but Victoria. It stands on a street corner in a nice middle-class bit of north London, just up the hill from the zoo in Regent's Park. A pleasant stretch of grassland adjoins it, but you can't see much from the pub for the red, bottle-green and turquoise stained-glass windows. Except for a couple of panes, these are as old as the building (from about 1820), their age revealed by the distorted, as well as colored, image they give of outside. They are pretty in themselves, and they dim the daylight, as required in a pub.

Beautiful concept and design from cover to the back! I do not read the language, but the graphics and placement make it universal. The color, also, is a real eye catcher. Your book will be encouragement for people who stop to take a look and then go on to create a product like yours that is unique and delightful.

Rose Border & Banner Paint by Number Wall Mural by Elephants on the Wall
Transform a room in a weekend or less. It's perfect for even those who think they are artistically challenged. It's fun and very easy to do. It's just like coloring in a big coloring book! Your friends and family will think you are a brilliant artist. Each kit includes the paper pattern, transfer paper, directions and a color guide. You will need to buy the paints, a couple of brushes and some painters tape. Murals are reversible and reusable.1. TAPE the transfer paper and pattern to the wall.
2. TRACE the design onto the wall.
3. PAINT the areas with the corresponding colors on the color guide.
This 2 for one DIY banner is a perfect touch to create that romantic feel in your little girls room. Just use the top part alone or use second part to repeat the pattern around the room. Pair it up with the Cherubs and roses to match JC Penny's Madeline bedding. Try a very pale pink or mint green for the background wall color for a great effect. Personalize it with your daughter's name instead of "My Little Angel" to make it extra special.

Speaking Silence
"Just say . . . whatever!"
Presumably, just as we sometimes run up against questions for which we feel an acute need for rational answers, early Christians were also, secondarily, responding to questions that arose in their minds as they thought about their religious lives. Apart from the challenges to religion made by skeptics of one sort or another -- believers or not -- genuine intellectual challenges arise as we think about our life before God. In a culture with a history such as that of the West, those challenges push us to demand answers that accord with reason. Unavoidably those answers will eventually be metaphysical / theological. Q.E.D. again.
So it isn't enough to say, "Don't do that!" Many of us and many of our children and friends seem unable to keep ourselves from it. Just saying no won't help, and it may well hinder those who have questions. The advice to stop thinking about theological questions, like advice to stop looking at pretty women by constantly reminding yourself not to do so, is likely to make those questions all the more acute. It is certain to make religion look like nonsense to someone who is struggling with faith.
The Mormon response to the difficulties created by the tension between metaphysics and its unavoidability is ingenious and perhaps unique among Christians: On the one hand, hold to basic beliefs and practices while giving as few as possible officially approved or even officially suggested metaphysical explanations of those beliefs and practices. But, on the other hand -- rather than, as might be expected, simply demanding the impossible by forbidding metaphysical explanations of beliefs -- allow that speculation to proceed apace, but without official sanction.
That's not an official Mormon position. As far as I know, Mormonism doesn't have an official position on having official theological positions. But refusing theology while permitting it is certainly a wide-spread, though often unrecognized, Mormon approach to these things, and I wish it were more widespread as well as more recognized. It's how we've done things for almost 200 years, and I recommend that we continue. In my view taking this approach implicitly recognizes that a religion needs a standard of belief -- a creed and then a theology to interpret that creed -- only if belief is the standard for genuine religion.
But suppose instead that things such as practice and narrative are the standard for what it means to be a Mormon (or anything else). I take the practice of Christian religion to mean being part of the body of Christ (rather than subscribing to a set of beliefs), which means participation in and communion with the church. That communion will usually include agreeing to some, but not necessarily many, beliefs. I take narrative to mean the religious histories and testimonies, scriptural or not, that those in the body of Christ share to remind ourselves of who we are and to help us hear the call to continue to be who we've been called to be. If practice and narrative are the standard, then the rejection of theology as necessary, combined with a tolerance for considerable theological talk -- as well as theological messiness -- is a good way to deal with the tension between the difficulties of metaphysics and the need for it: allow it to continue, but drastically limit its authority. So the Mormon response to metaphysics and theology is not, "Just say no," but "Just say . . . whatever."

What I know:
My FDD was a destructive induced vaginal birth almost 9 years ago. OB scheduled CS for 13th for me for this DD.
I will have a doula with me for support. she is still going to do a photo and video birthstory for me:) as well as being my support and help with some aftercare.
I've been told to start taking stool softener(Colace) three days prior to surgery bc pain meds cause constipation and they don't want you pushing bc it might damage incision. Also to take gas medicine with you to take so you don't have excruciating gas pain in there.
I've read to pack for hospital:
Toiletries, hair dryer to keep incision dry as well as hair bc of cold rooms, high fiber snacks, flip flops for shower and swollen feet, comfy socks to protect feet and keep them warm with grippers on bottom for traction, baby clothes, sensitive baby wipes, dress-not pants to wear home so incision isn't rubbed, and pillow to hold against incision for laughing coughing and ride in car home.
I've been told to get a glider and ottoman bc recliner will be too hard to get up from due to surgery. Also to make sure and get a belly binder for abdominal and back support. I will be BF so I'm setting up a BF station at home as I did with FDD. I am rearranging g bedroom so I have a straight shot to bathroom and hallway in middle of night. I have mil coming after I am released from hospital to help me around with FDD and functioning at home first few weeks, especially since school is starting soon. And some super advice I've gotten from a lot of BTDT moms is to use a pantiliners/pads over incision for any drainage and to keep it dry also it acts as a barrier for undies and clothing not to rub it. Helps prevent infection keeping it dry.
Please add or comment on what I've started with, I am nervous due to it being major surgery as well as I had previous issues with epidurals failing and anesthesia problems. Something I'm going to address with (sp) prior to surgery.
I will be getting tubes tied at that time as well.
Here's to us mamas being as educated and comfortable as possible going into this! Knowledge is power😊

PC Market In Longest Shipment Slump: Gartner
TheStreet) - The PC market is in its longest decline in its history, according to the latest figures released by tech research firm Gartner (IT - Get Report). During the second-quarter of 2013, worldwide PC shipments fell to 76 million units, Gartner reported - a decline of 10.9% on the prior year's quarter. In research released late on Wednesday, Gartner noted that the slump marks the fifth consecutive quarter of declining shipments, the longest decline in the market's history.The ongoing popularity of Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) iPad and tablets running Google's (GOOG - Get Report) Android operating system continues to pressure the PC market. "We are seeing the PC market reduction directly tied to the shrinking installed base of PCs, as inexpensive tablets displace the low-end machines used primarily for consumption in mature and developed markets," said Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Gartner, in a statement. "In emerging markets, inexpensive tablets have become the first computing device for many people, who at best are deferring the purchase of a PC. This is also accounting for the collapse of the mini notebook market." All regions saw a year-over-year decline, according to Gartner, with Asia-Pacific experiencing its fifth consecutive quarter of shipment decline and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) seeing its second consecutive quarter of double-digit decline. During the second quarter, Lenovo edged past HP (HPQ - Get Report) to take top position in the PC market, with 16.7% market share, although its PC shipments slipped 0.6% compared to the second quarter of 2012. HP had 16.3% of the global PC market and saw shipments slip 4.8% year over year, although Gartner noted that the tech giant is the market leader in the U.S., EMEA and Latin America. Dell (DELL), which saw its shipments fall 3.9% compared to the prior year's quarter, was in third place with 11.8% of the PC market. --Written by James Rogers in New York.

The test, occuring on June 30, 2009, recreated the 1994 Northridge earthquake in California, but with approximately 1.16 times the intensity. An even larger test took place on July 14, simulating an even stronger earthquake with 1.5 times the intensity of the Northridge earthquake. Because of the novel construction techniques developed by the NEESWood project researchers and their industry counterparts, damage from the June 30 test was minimal and non-structural.

This gold version was made by Skybox and was limited to only 5,000. Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978 (1978-08-23 )) is an American All-Star shooting guard who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association . Bryant is the only son of former Philadelphia 76ers player and former Los Angeles Sparks head coach Joe "Jellybean" Bryant . His parents named him after the famous beef of Kobe , Japan , which they saw on a restaurant menu. Bryant and then-teammate Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002 . Since O'Neal's departure following the 2003–04 season , Bryant has become the cornerstone of the Lakers franchise, and was the NBA 's leading scorer during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons. In 2006, Bryant scored a career high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors , the second highest number of points scored in a single game in NBA history. Bryant was awarded the season's MVP in the 2007–08 NBA season after leading his team to the 2008 NBA Finals as the first seed in the Western Conference. In 2008, he won a gold medal as a member of the 2008 Summer Olympics U.S. Men's Basketball Team , occasionally referred to as "The Redeem Team," a play on the name of the first Olympic team that featured NBA players, the Dream Team . In 2003, Bryant made headlines when he was accused of sexual assault at a hotel in Edwards, Colorado by a hotel employee. Bryant admitted an adulterous sexual encounter with the accuser, but denied the sexual assault allegation. In September 2004, prosecutors dropped the case after his accuser informed them that she was unwilling to testify. Bryant's accuser brought a separate civil suit against him that was ultimately settled out of court.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
