Hearn, Kelly, In These Times
Latin America fights the battle of the bulge
LIKE HER FRIENDS FROM Mexico to Chile, the girl from Ipanema is getting too big for her britches.
Latin America has fallen prey to the "globesity" trend, adding to the ranks of the one billion people the World Health Organization (WHO) says are overweight around the world. Globalization, with its accompanying sedentary lifestyles and proliferation of fast-food conglomerates, is a major culprit. As a 2001 study by Ricardo Uauy, a researcher at the University of Chile's Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology, noted, "as income increases in transitional countries, so does the consumption of high fat foods, including industrially processed hydrogenated fats." Globesity's spread is bad news for struggling countries with stressed health systems that will have to tend to fat's future fallout, from diabetes to heart problems.
Policymakers' responses have been mixed, from introducing legislation to criticizing global corporations to denying the problem altogether.
Mexico has adopted national legislation to fight the problem. In figure-obsessed Argentina, where 30 percent of the population is estimated to be dieting on any given day, an obesity law is awaiting a Senate vote. But fat's real Latin American enemy appears be Chile.
With strong trade ties to the United States, Chile has logged South America's most sustained growth in recent years. And it's not just mirroring Washington's preference for trade liberalization, open markets and tax policy, but Americans' expanding figure as well: The Center for Family and Community Health at UC Berkeley predicts that 9 million Chileans will be obese by 2010.
Politicians like Chilean Congressman Fulvio Rossi are lashing back at bulge. In tandem with a decade-long anti-obesity program started in 2000 by the Chilean government, he has proposed a junk food tax and measures to give school kids more time for physical activity. He is also targeting la comida chatarra, or junk food. In a February 8 interview with a leading Chilean newspaper, Rossi lashed out at McDonald's new nutritional guidelines.
"Unfortunately, McDonald's is engaging in false advertising," Rossi said. "They are saying in their nutritional information that the caloric requirements of minors are larger than what they really are to justify the consumption of hamburgers."
The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics also caused a stir last year by reporting that just over 40 percent of adult Brazilians are overweight, and that one in 10 adults is obese. Against a backdrop of globalization this news may not be all that surprising: Carlos Augusto Monteiro, a nutritionist at the University of São Paulo, has reported that soft drink consumption in that country has shot up 400 percent in the last 30 years. Demographic shifts mean more sedentary lifestyles for more Brazilians; between 1940 and 2000, the country's population, now 175 million, went from being 80 percent rural and 20 percent urban to 80 percent urban and 20 percent rural.
So what is the corrective?
Laws mandating public education are designed to teach the newly globalized how to eat well and resist sedentary ways. But obesity can be a complicated political football. Last January, for example, Brazil's President Lula da Silva dismissed obesity figures because he draws political clout from a public battle against poverty and food insecurity. According to a New York Times article, da Silva claimed that the study was likely skewed because the subjects did not report accurately. "Hunger isn't something to be measured by research," da Silva said. "Not everyone wants to recognize that they are going hungry. They are ashamed."
Another worrisome trend is that policy types in Latin America, just like their counterparts in the United States, may be relying too much on information generated by the very industries causing the obesity problem. …

Man, I am having to write way too many obituaries this week. Sadly, legendary science fiction author Ray Bradbury passed away last night at the age of 91. While the man certainly had a long life filled with success, it's still depressing to note that one of the last living vanguards of modern sci-fi has left us. Bradbury's career spanned an astonishing 75 years, including eleven full length novels, and nearly 500 short stories or novellas.
Some of you may be wondering why we at TVR would cover an author's death, and if you are, you must not remember The Ray Bradbury Theater. Beginning in 1985 on HBO, then moving to USA in 1988, the show was an anthology series, and every episode was based on an existing Bradbury story. The author himself served as host and personally wrote the teleplay adaptations for every tale. Unlike other anthologies, the show never really stuck to one genre. While sci-fi was obviously dominant, many episodes were high fantasies, horror or suspense stories, or even heartwarming dramas. Just like Bradbury's incredibly varied literary output, the show could never be pinned down into one sphere.
The Theater wasn't Bradbury's only contribution to TV though, he wrote episodes for shows like Lights Out, Suspense, Tales Of Tomorrow, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone, and his novel The Martian Chronicles was adapted into a well regarded mini-series in 1980 starring Rock Hudson. Bradbury's most famous work is easily the dystopian masterpiece Fahrenheit 451, which while never adapted for television, made its way to the big screen in 1966.
The science fiction world has truly lost an icon today. His inimitable creative mind will be sorely missed. I can recommend no better tribute to the man than to read his work, or watch episodes of The Ray Bradbury Theater on DVD. In his striking characters, mesmerizing alien landscapes, and poignant emotional drama is where the true legacy of Ray Bradbury lies.
Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012
"Man, I am having to write way too many obituaries this week"
No kidding :-( It sucks the number of people in the entertainment industry that have passed away in just the last week, let alone the last couple of months. Mike Wallace, Dick Clark, Donna Summers, Robin Gibb, Dick Beals, Kathryn Joosten, Richard Dawson and now Ray Bradbury have all passed away since April 7th. About the only consolation is the knowledge that the pool of talented people we'll be able to meet in person once we pass away has just increased many-fold.

According to Denton Police, the aggravated assault occurred around 8:10 p.m. in Quakertown Park near Oakland Street.
When authorities arrived at the scene, the victim — a 30-year-old male — was located near a storm drain on the west side of the park. The victim appeared to have been stabbed twice, once on his lower left side and once at the base of the neck just above the sternum.
He was transported to Denton Regional Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The two suspects — James W. Maraman, 56, and James G. Powell, 49 — approached the victim and his friends in the park, reportedly to warn him to stay away from his ex-girlfriend. An argument escalated into a physical altercation.
Witnesses say the suspects assaulted the victim with a knife, though it is unclear if both men were armed with knives. Two knives were recovered at the scene.
Maraman and Powell were arrested and are being held at the Denton Police Department Jail on charges of Aggravated Assault. The investigation is ongoing.

Vikings-49ers replacement ref fiasco: 'Frisco gets extra timeouts, phantom challenges [VIDEO]
Harbaugh somehow intimidated scab officials into giving his team new life in a game they had already lost.
It's a good thing the Vikings pulled off a 24-13 upset win over the feared San Francisco 49ers yesterday, otherwise the talk of the town this morning would be how the replacement refs jobbed the hometown squad.
-- Star Tribune's C.J. grills Vikings' Christian Ponder about his bereft love life
-- Minnesota Vikings: Top 10 plays of last 20 years [VIDEO]
-- Minnesota Vikings' one-year value increase largest in NFL
During the final stretch of yesterday's game, scab refs were intimidated by 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh into granting previously undefeated San Fran timeouts he had already spent and challenges he didn't have. Then, upon review of a play where Vikings running back Toby Gerhart fumbled after whistles blew and while 49ers defenders seemingly tried to dismember him, the refs somehow decided to give the ball to San Francisco, breathing new life into a game that had already been decided.
It was one of the most embarrassing officiating fiascos in a three-week-old season that has already been full of them. Another comedy of errors happened last night in Baltimore, where Ravens fans upset about a mysterious illegal contact penalty (among other questionable calls) chanted "Bull-shit!" so loudly that NBC didn't even bother to try and censor it.
After the Minnesota game, referee Ken Roan admitted he and his crew botched the timeout-challenge situation. Vikings coach Leslie Frazier, not one to stir controversy, said of the down-the-stretch calls, "there were some head-scratchers, no question about it." About the first phantom fumble call (he went on to fumble two more times before the game was through), Gerhart said, "I have no idea... I don't know what was going on there."
Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway wasn't directly involved in any of the bad calls, but still received a string of questions about the replacement refs from reporters after the game. "That probably tells you the story right there," he said. Translated from please-don't-fine-me speak, that means -- "These guys are a f**king joke."
Here's full footage of yesterday's Vikings-49ers replacement ref fiasco:
The Washington Post reports that the impasse between the NFL and the regular officials largely boils down to pensions.
"The league considers the pensions being sought by the referees association too generous, several people with knowledge of the talks said," writes the post. "One person said the referees' pension proposal calls for an annual league contribution of $38,500 per official."
By contrast, the NFL generates nearly $10 billion in revenue annually. So clearly, for Commissioner Roger Goodell, the referee impasse is more about principle than the league's bottom-line.

Really cool. I love that you have both legs and arms visible instead of just one silhouette (or however you spell that). Very nice work.
[Good work here! It's so touching that I'm tearing up now...]
This is beautiful
Feeling I know all too well.
This is awfully simple but yet it sent shivers down my spine. I know that feeling, and you've captured it perfectly. ;w;
Awesome job!
Awesome job!
i might feel it but you'll never know it...im talking to those judgemental pricks out there in the world
That feeling... I know that feeling... :´(
I know dat feeling
it really hurt
it really hurt
My life.
burden hurts me the most.
In a world where there are so many people, and only a certain few that have accomplished way more than you can imagine can definitely be intimidating. However, there will always be someone who loves you for who you are!
I can relate to this too. I think everyone feels this way at some point in their lives...
I know the feeling too, unfortunately. It gets better!
I know that feeling.

Neighborhoods encourage safety
By: Lauren Weber, The Press-Tribune
Hundreds of Roseville residents locked their doors, left their porch lights on and joined their neighbors for National Night Out Tuesday evening. Roseville, with more than 30 neighborhood associations, has been involved in the nationwide crime prevention event since its start 25 years ago, said Pam Harlan, crime prevention coordinator for the city of Roseville. "The idea is to get to know your neighbors," Harlan said. Not just socially, but also because many crimes are solved or prevented by neighbors observing and watching out for their neighbors, she added. National Night Out is a crime and drug prevention event that involved 35 million people nationally last year. The event, held on the first Tuesday in August every year, is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and includes community involvement from all 50 states. "It's a big deal," Harlan said. "We look forward to it every year." Some of the larger parks, such as Cresthaven on Community Drive, attract more than 200 residents, while smaller parks might draw 100 people. But at every park location, where the events are held, fire trucks are on-site and safety bags are handed out to children. Many neighborhood associations plan parades, games, ice cream socials, barbecues, jump houses and other social events. "It gets your neighbors out, talking to other neighbors," said Marge Wallace, secretary with the Cresthaven Neighborhood Association in Roseville and one of the organizers for the Cresthaven Park event. Some people don't know their neighbors, she added, and National Night Out gets people mingling. "If you have a neighborhood crisis, who do you go to?" Wallace said of people who aren't familiar with the people who live next door to them. At James W. Wanish Park on Junction Boulevard, neighbors gathered Tuesday night, many hoping to meet fellow residents and have a good time. "I know the guy who lives next to me and that's about it," said Roseville resident Rex Schrader. He's lived in Roseville for seven years and decided to join the celebration for this year's National Night Out. Kendra Davis and her husband John had the same idea. "Meet some people and have a good time," Kendra said their goal was for the night. Although they've lived in Roseville five years, this was their first National Night Out. The Foothills Junction Neighborhood Association put together the events at James W. Wanish Park Tuesday night while Target, the national sponsor for National Night Out, provided bicycles for prizes, ADT Security Systems donated the ice cream and the food for barbecuing was donated by Save Mart Supermarkets. After being dormant for years, Mike Hazen decided to reintroduce his neighborhood to the association. "It's a good community event," he said of National Night Out. "We're trying to bring neighbors out."

Termination due to Anomaly Support Group #11
Started by Freckles , Oct 11 2011 10:18 AM

Posted 11 February 2012 - 09:15 PM
SarahBubble - of course this is where you should post. And I can't imagine why you think you're lucky or any better off than anyone else here? We've all been through something like what you've just experienced. I'm thankful for your sake that at least the staff you were involved with were so kind and compassionate.
I'm so sorry you have had to farewell your baby while you were probably still celebrating the pregnancy. I completely understand the feeling that you are still pregnant. I had my baby at 21 weeks and had been feeling him kick for about a month by then. I still "felt" kicks for several months after his birth. I wish I could give you some answers to your questions, but unfortunately I don't know them either. I can say that over the last 4 months my emotions have been very up and down. I'm not sure that we can reconcile all the conflicting emotions - just that with time and being gentle and kind to ourselves hopefully we find some peace with what has happened.
AFM - I was just revisiting this page as I'm struggling a bit myself right now, having just passed my due date. I'm so fed up with people not wanting to hear me talk about it. It seems to make others so uncomfortable and they change the subject so quickly. Luckily I am seeing a lovely counsellor, but she doesn't make up for the complete lack of family and friends willing to listen to me if I'm a bit down. I'm fortunate to have a great husband and beautiful 2yo son and I really do enjoy them so much, but my heart breaks for the baby I should be holding in my arms now... I also seem to be going through a really angry phase at the moment - and I'm really jealous of other women with babies. These feelings seem so mean and nasty, but that's how I feel. Has anyone else felt like this?
Posted 17 February 2012 - 06:16 AM
Hi all,
I am new here and would like some advise please. We have been faced with the harrowing decision to terminate at 20 weeks and have just found out our options for termination last night. I am hoping this will all occur Monday or tues, how will I get through the next few days??
Sorry this is sensitive ....... I am thankfully not having to give birth (sorry but this upsets me too much) but as you would all know the procedure will be horrific enough. I am going through a clinic in SA and it will be a two day procedure... Has anyone been through this procedure, similar to a D & C?
I am very upset and I guess looking for reassurance that I am strong enough to get through this... The tears are flowing as I write.
Pls, pls tell me how you coped?
Posted 17 February 2012 - 08:47 AM
I am so sorry to hear you have found yourself in our little community. *hugs*
I cant give you much insight into the proceedure your having, I gave birth to my little man at 18w as surgery wasnt an option, he was our first pregnancy... I have to say although it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, I am glad I did it. Felt like I had done the full circle, I got to hold/cuddle him and they gave us some keepsakes.. The hospital took photos and will hold onto them untill we are ready to see them (if ever).. One thing that took me by surprise was my milk came in, 3 days later. I have since learned that there are some pills you can get to avoid it. I would enquire, having huge engorged breasts is not pleasant when you feel so vulnerable.
I highly recommend contacting your local SIDS n KIDS, they have a few options, 1on1, group (special termination due to abnormality), phone or inperson etc.. I really didnt think it was for me, but after a few months, I felt like I didnt have anyone to talk to and they were there, its free and really helpful..
I wish you all the strength in the world to get through the next week, its hard and sh*tty and no-one should ever be in this position. Cry and Cry and Cry some more, whatever you feel is normal and ok. Hang in there, oneday it will get better..
Seems typical of family/friends to just not want to talk about it.. I feel like sometimes its all I talk about.. But your right, thats where counselling does help. I am part of group sessions now and we have a little b*tch session at the end about family/friends lack of support, always makes us feel better.. Its amazing how being able to talk openly about it makes you feel.
I went through a stage where I didnt want to leave the house due to babies/pregnant women.. It made me so incredibly mad.. I felt like it was just so unfair, I felt ripped off and even though it was our choice to end the pregnancy when we did it didnt make me feel any better... It passed but honestly it was probably only because I suddenly found myself expecting again..
hugs to you... I really hope your still feeling mild improvement.. I think what makes this community special is that we all got to say goodbye to our children in one way or another. I have personally gained a mountain of support and strength from this group, and I hope you (and the other ladies) do too..
Your such a strong women being able to make that big call all on our own. Your partner sounds like a brilliant man, take strength in the support from him and your DD.
Easter will be the 1yr anniversary of saying goodbye to Liam.. My heart just breaks thinking about it.. 1 whole year.. Im sitting at home now waiting for this surprise baby to arrive.. hes due 1 month before that anniversary.. I dont know if I am scared or excited or ready or what.. I know it will be OK and that so many of you have already walked in my shoes and come out the other side being able to love the next baby just as much (or is it I am scared I wont love Liam as much?)..
hugs to everyone.

Hi Everyone,
Maz - I can relate very strongly to the feelings you described. Both in terms of feeling like family/friends dont want to hear about it anymore and feeling angry at parents with their babies. I dont know what to do with that anger. Sometimes I think it does seem mean and unreasonable but I do feel it and I cant really change it. I think because it just highlights what I should have and the unfairness of that seems so great that I am just so angry.
Brontie - Thinking of you and your Liam as the 1yr anniversary approaches.
ZKP - I am so sorry for the loss of your little boy, Kimon. The decision ways heavy on my mind also. I think that part of it is something no one can understand who hasnt had to make it. Sometimes I try to explain how hard that decision is and how it stays with you but I dont think people understand. I always try to tell myself what you said - that we made this decision through love and kindness. But it doesnt always change the feelings you have.
Haras - I am so so sorry that you are facing this. I wish I had some good advice for you but the truth is I dont know how we cope with this. It is such a hard thing to go through. Even now I am trying to find some words of strength for you but at a time like this I think language fails. Just know I am thinking of you and we are all here for you. Please reach out to any support you can at this tough time. x x x
SarahBubble - Im so sorry you received such devastating news and had to make such a difficult decision. You were very strong to go through so much on your own. Im glad you have the support of a wonderful dh, it certainly does help. Thinking of you x
AFM - 3 months on and I dont feel like I have moved on at all. If anything things get harder. I do start worrying that I will never be a parent and I wonder what went wrong with our little angel and why this happens to us. But no one understands, even people who were sad with you at the time have now moved on. Which is ok of course they move on with their lives but I just hate that they treat me like Ive moved on too. I know that people dont want to talk about it all the time but its hard for me not to talk about it. I find it really hard to have a normal conversation like nothing happened and Im fine and as if I dont think about it anymore. I feel like Im always acting and never really get to be me how I really am.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your support and kind words, I'm still finding it almost surreal that such a short time ago we were happily waiting to tell everyone we were pregnant, luckily a few people knew so they've been great. Maz I feel for you - at this stage I'm lucky I can talk to people and they don't mind. I'm here if you need a chat
Gaia - *hugs* I can't imagine how tough that would be - hard enough to try and stay strong let alone wondering what happened. Fingers and toes crossed for you.
Bronte - thinking of you as Liam's anniversary approaches, and I'm sure he'll always hold a special corner of your heart all to himself, just as he deserves to. Nothing will diminish his importance, but that doesn't mean that your new little person will be overshadowed either - anyone going through a loss like this has a special understanding of the importance of little people
Haras - I wish you all the best for this time, I don't know what its going to be like for you, but I hope you get as much time as you need with your little one, and all the support in the world. Thinking of you xoxox
I'm sitting here letting myself cry at what was meant to be, listening to Adele 21, and grateful that you all know what its like. Strange that its a consolation, but that support is huge. I am immensely lucky that my friends and family are not expecting me to 'get over it', I think in some ways they're surprised that DH needs to as well. Poor boy got a bit forgotten at the start I think. I'm still waiting for karotyping results, so its a waiting game for us to know where to go from here, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Big hugs to all, thanks for your time

Hi everyone..
I recently went to the hospital I delivered Liam at and stood in the birth suite where he came and went so preciously.. That room was giving me nightmares, so I decided before I could embark on delivering my next son, I need to see that it was just a room and there is nothing to be afraid of..
Needless to say I cried all morning, all the way there but once inside I took a deep breath and smiled.. A weight was lifted and I finally felt like I understood all those emotions deep down inside, hidden..
On a happy note I delivered the next day, a week early. A healthy boy who looks just like his angel brother. My heart is filled with love for them both, and I still wish Liam was here, and we could be all together. Liam is his middle name, so he will always know he has a brother looking over him. It was my husbands idea.
Be brave everyone, sending love to you all.
Posted 17 March 2012 - 12:58 PM
Brontie - congratulations! I'm so pleased for you that the weight lifted before you had your second beautiful boy. It's a wonderful idea to keep Liam's name in your second son's. I hope you're really enjoying your new bub and that it is everything you hoped for and missed out on the first time around.
Posted 23 March 2012 - 08:22 PM
Brontie - Congratulations on the birth of your son. That is wonderful news. There must also be moments when it is bitter sweet as he would remind you so much of your Liam. Congratulations again and I hope you are enjoying the time with your baby.
I hope everyone else is doing ok. The fact that it is so quiet in here is hopefully is a good sign that people are coping.
I am having a really bad night. Dh is out and I am on my own. I have the flu which is really bringing me down and I know the fact I am physically so exhausted is half the reason for feeling overwhelmed with negative emotion. I just feel so down right now. I dont have anyone to talk to as family and friends have put me in the too hard basket. Which is ok, I know it is hard dealing with some one long term who isnt getting over things. But now Im sick and dh is out and I just feel so alone and uncared about. I know I am being a bit of an emotional sook like I do generally when Im sick. But I think its also that Im too exhausted to keep at bay all the feelings which I have been ignoring.
Anyway I just thought Id come here and get some things out as I dont really have anywhere else.
Thinking of you all x x

Hi Girls - I have never actually posted in here but have spent a lot of time reading others experiences. I have just never found the words I wanted to write. I terminated at 13 weeks a baby in anacephalies and as you all know it is a hard road and I have had good days and bad days.
Gaia - I couldn't read your post and not reply. I'm so sorry to hear that you were having a bad night yesterday. I too seem to really struggle emotionally when I am sick/tired/stressed and nearly always when I am home by myself. I tend to tourture myself as well by watching stupid shows like teen mom. I have personally found that I cope better when I am busy and have been throwing myself into work and designing a new house. I know sometimes its hard to get off the couch and ask someone for help - but is there anyone you can reach out too? I know you said that everyone is sick of you - but maybe you just need to explain the situation and how you are feeling to them and ask for some more support.
I am so sorry about what you are going through with your sister. I hope you can sort things out - it would be such a shame for you not to be involved in this part of her life.
Just wanted to send you my love and best wishes. I hope today was easier x
Posted 31 March 2012 - 06:52 PM
I also hope the silence in here is a good sign for everyone..
Tomorrow (April Fools Day) is the anniversary of when we were dealt the worst news ever about Liam.. It was also the day we made the hardest decision ever.. But one I will stand by. Tuesday morning will be 1 year since he came and went so peacefully, just thinking about it makes me cry. I miss him everyday..
Were planning to visit him and lay a rock ornament at the memorial, I am a bit nervous about it. Like most things the thought of it is worse that the actual doing, I get all worked up about it, but then when I am in the moment its not that bad and I feel better..
I hope your feeling better, its hard when your alone.. Sending you hugs.

Bump, as I don't want this support group to be lost off the front page of this area.

Sorry to read that there are new members to this group. It's such a fantastic place to come and share what's almost impossible to put into words.
It's 18 months since we said goodbye to our Trisome 18 baby.
I had waited over a month between the 12 week results showing our baby might have Trisome 18 to have it confirmed (odds were 1/37) and went for a D&E. I had so many surgical procedures in the past, it seemed an easy option and the thought of going through a birth freaked me out.
If anyone else comes to this forum wondering what decision to make, it's so hard and not a decision you want to be faced with. I wish I had opted for induced birth. She was such a special and wanted baby that I feel such regret for the clinical way I ended her life. It can't be changed and I don't dwell on it but if I had my time again, I would do it differently. It felt like the right decision at the time so I have to trust that is what I could cope with. We still have her footprints and ashes which are very special.
It was also asked how to get through it. It's so hard. I had a day spa treatment every day for a week (it made me leave the house!) I didn't and couldn't speak to the people, just lay down!! I had amazing support from my friends who knew about it. Lots of flowers, hampers and comforting messages. My husband found is so hard and really benefited from the counselling through SIDS.
I hope that helps anyone else who finds themselves here. Big big hugs.

Hi Girls,
I don't come in here very often any more as it is 4 1/2 years since my Mimmi became an Angel at 18 and a half weeks and I have moved on quite well. This group used to be my life-line, though, in the early days. The support, understanding and love I felt in here will be with me always. I am so amazed that the group is still going, and so pleased that it is still a place where women (and the occasional man over the years) can come and find solace and speak freely about how they are feeling. I am actually the person who started the thread but never in a million years did I think it would still be going after all this time. It makes me feel good to think that I have actually done something good for people.
Brontie - I love how you have given your son Liam's name as a middle name. I would like to think that I would have done the same, if I had gone on to have a Rainbow baby. I never did as I have a daughter and son already and was 46 when I had Mimmi. (I don't really like talking about my age but I do like to share the fact that I am older mother as it gives encouragement to others who may think it is too late for them to have a baby. I had my daughter at 37 and son at 44.)
'Gaia' - I know that feeling of "acting". I did a lot of that in the beginning, too. It does take time to become yourself again, and to be honest I think we will only ever be 99% of our old selves, after what we have been through. I hope and believe that you will find peace and some sort of acceptance eventually.
Everyone else, I am so glad you are here supporting each other and helping each other heal. I would honestly not be here today if it was not for the women in this group.
Love to everyone,
Posted 24 April 2012 - 09:34 PM
Wow, I wish I had found this forum a 6 weeks ago!! I too have had to make the heart renching decisions, so many here have. I would like to share my story as my friends don't seem to want to talk about it, and I don't want to worry my husband too much.
We were floating in our happy little bubble, expecting our first child, a planned and so wanted baby. But had our bubble burst with the 2 days of bad news. The first day the doctor tells me I have had a high grade abnormality come back on my Pap Smear (which was done early because of bleeding), but got to the end of this day thinking baby is ok and this is treatable!
The second day (yep straight after that news), the doc calls and again and wants to discuss the 19 weeks scan. The doc says our baby has severe heart and brain problems, had to wait 4 sleeps to see the specialists, it was confirmed plus more problems. Had an amino the next day and it was confirmed Trisomy 18.
I didn't even now what this was or that is was a possibility, our 12 week results came back low risk (1 in 1627 for T18), but the doctors just kept saying it's an incompatibility with life. We choose to terminate at this stage I was 20 weeks. But because I live in QLD we had to wait to see the right doctor to be able to take RU486 in order help things go better (giving birth was my only option, they wouldn't do a medical termination). By the time things happened I was 22 weeks, and Amelia was born 22+3 weeks, 300g and 26.5cm long.
Now things have settled with the baby, I am now worried about the CIN3 pap result as I have another couple of weeks to wait to get this looked at, I'm really worried it will affect my chances of falling pregnant or to carry a baby to full term. Amelia can't be my only experience with pregnancy or birth!
Sorry for the long post, I really needed to say this all again as sometimes it just seems like a bad dream.
Posted 03 June 2012 - 07:53 AM
Z-K-L, I am glad this thread has brought you comfort and helped you and others. The irony/wonderful thing is that I started the thread as an outlet for my own grief and then it went on to become something very special.
I know what you mean by saying you feel that your little Kimon is abandoned down the coast. I often think of my Mimmi in the Baby Angel Garden. I am so glad we chose the Baby Angel Garden, though, and not a grave as such, as I would feel guilty if I did not go there and tend to it all the time. She has a plaque on a big boulder set amongst other plaques and other big boulders with plaques in a beautiful little wooded area in one corner of a cemetery. Absolutely beautiful. Kimon knows he is in your heart, and think of how free his spirit is, having been scattered. And you still have some of his ashes. Perfect combination.
ABABA, I am glad you found the thread eventually and please don't apologise for the length of the post. This is a safe place to "let it all out" and everyone on here has been through what you have. I am so sorry for your loss of little Amelia and I can imagine how awful it must have been to have been kept waiting to see the specialist. I hope the last few weeks have been a bit more peaceful for you and that your results came back ok.
Everyone else - you are always in my thoughts.

It is with a heavy heart that I have found your support thread.
Our Daughter Isobella Rose has mosaic Trisomy 18. I am at a loss as to what to do as DH is away at the moment and I won't do anything til he is back but all I want to do is cry all the time.
I have a DS (2 years) who atm is being amazing with lots of extra cuddles even though he has no idea what is going on.
Please tell me that is gets easier to bear as my heart feels like it is broken in two and I can't survive like this...
Posted 31 July 2012 - 10:16 PM
Kirsee I couldn't read your post without replying. Firstly I am so sorry, this is not a nice position to be in. I haven't posted in here for such a long time but I do understand your pain. Our daughter Elli become an angel 4yrs ago and while the pain is always with you it does change from being the thing that consumes you to still being there but with you being able to cope with life, but believe me this can take a very long time.
Please remember though grief has no time limit some days are easier than others. This forum has been such a safe place to come for lots of people with everyone knowing how you feel to some extent or another and no one will judge so please come back and have a yell anytime you need to.
Posted 16 August 2012 - 05:10 PM
I could have written GAIA's original post word for word as it is how I am feeling right now. I just had a phone call confirming that it is full T18.
I feel horrible but I don't think I would cope with the alternative. I will do the morphology scan next week with DH present so he can see everything for himself but then I am thinking the following week I will already be 20 weeks and I can't do this for much longer, knowing I am carrying my daughter to die is killing me...
Posted 17 August 2012 - 02:39 PM
Hi everyone, The last year has been quite traumatic for me. Last year I m/c at 6weeks then fell preg the very next month and found out just after Xmas in Jan this year that my baby had Edwards Syndrome. I was 14.5wks and it was the hardest thing I have had to do. My ob was fantastic about it. The one thing I must say is that there is not much support for mums. The genetic counselor rang me with the news and that was the first and last time I have spoken to anyone about it. Most people have been extremely supportive and if they haven't been I am none the wiser as they haven't said anything directly to me (except one). We have been trying again since March and tested + last night. I am sitting here crying, stressing and wondering if I will be again dealt another horrible hand. Firstly will I make it to 12weeks, if I do and it doesn't have edwards will it be another chromosome disorder and if I am lucky enough to get through that will I have a healthy baby. I am lucky enough to have 2 healthy boys and feel maybe I have tempted fate too many times..... I know stress is not good but its so hard not to be when you have been through something like this as you all know. I am now 41 and keep thinking that ups the chances of something being wrong again. I feel so, so, so very guilty about what I have done. I wonder if I will be punished this time around.... I know I am lucky to have 2 healthy boys but would love a 3rd child. My husband and I don't really discuss the past which I also find hard to deal with. I don't really have anyone to talk about it to as no-one I know has been through it. Many of my friends have had mc but not T18. I feel even more guilt bc a friend of mine mc at 10wks and named her baby and I didn't do anything like that. She was posting quite a bit on fb at the time about the name amongst other things and it wasn't long after mine and the guilt I felt was enormous. Should I have done something like that.... I am now so scared that if its not Edwards my baby might have another anomaly. Does anyone know the likelihood of lighting striking twice in the same place given my age. Thanks for letting me post I sort of didn't know what else to do but wanted to get some advice. I am really, really, really scared as I am not sure I can get through another one again.
Kirsee - I found out and was booked in the following day. I felt exactly like you do, and it was a terrible time. Good luck with your decision its such a heart wrenching one and I know exactly what you are going through.
Posted 17 August 2012 - 09:10 PM
hey zord, I am 40, and 23 weeks pregnant. We terminated a pregnancy last march (2011).
To say I was stressed leading up to the scan is an understatement. So far all is fine. The genetic councellors were really good to me, as were my GP's. I am doing shared care at the moment, and my GP is so understanding, she listens to all my concerns and has not once fobbed me off. Is totally realistic with me as well.
So find some good carers that you are comfortable with.
I have found that pregnancy is no longer a lovely innocent experience for me. It is fraught with doubt and concern. I often feel that I have too have rolled the dice one time too many. I hope with all my heart that everything is ok with this little guy. I have had all the testing I can, but the doubt has not subsided.
I have had a few other things happen in the period since it all happened, that have caused me distress(can't bring myself to talk about it yet) I have had a lot of councelling. The pain has subsided, but there is lingering guilt and doubt.
I have just realised this is my first post in this group. Not sure what my intention was, maybe I feel I can get it out there, but really just wanted to let you know you are not alone in your thinking. Hope all goes well for, as it has so far for me.
Edit, as for lightening, I was told that your risk is now double, so the age risk is 1:106, but for me it was 1:53. But everyone said the chance is slim, it is like lightening striking twice.

Hi Wallofdodo and others.
I really feel your pain. I'm so sorry for what you've been through.
This is my first post here. While I have not yet had bad news, I have to say that as a mid forties, first time pregnant to 10 wks, woman, I pretty much take if for granted that there is a very significant chance of a birth defect and therefore, I am preparing myself for termination rather than a birth - until after the results of the CVS. It's a very bittersweet time, because I shared the grief and pain of many of my friends as they dealt with terminations, genetic abnormalities and miscarriages that are all part of the package of conception for those with fertility challenges (age related and other). I just understand that there are so many risks - I'm hesitant to even consider this a pregnancy. It's also very lonely, because I am unable to share that I am pregnant - even with my friends, because if it isn't viable, I don't want to have to explain this to too many people. I'd like to grieve privately or at least have control over who knows about my pain.
Whether it's failed IVF attempts, early miscarriages, early loss of ovulation, we struggle because we are still the early generation of women where we have both; the power and the science to make these heart wrenching decisions. But we lack adequate avenues to discuss or prepare for this trauma. Thirty-Forty years ago, many of these decisions were made for women, and women had neither the knowledge nor the choice to terminate pregnancies that weren't viable. And our Mums were less likely to discuss terminations or miscarriages. However, this trauma is now increasingly common and we probably need to be more open in discussing this pain and recognizing this as now part of the normal pregnancy-birth process. Just my 2 cents. So this forum is great.

Unfortunately I need to join this group... I was part of the High Risk NT results group and we have now had our results confirmed that our baby has severe chromosomal abnormalities.
I'm 18 weeks this week, and at this stage I am hoping to miscarry before we have to make the decision to terminate. Its a decision I don't want to have to make, but as time is going on I am coming to accept it more.
My DH is not coping... he thinks he is, but his way of coping is by telling himself that this is not our baby. He wants the termination to happen before 20 weeks so we won't have to have a funeral, won't have a death certificate, etc.
I am trying to compromise... I asked for the 20 week scan to be brought forward to next week which will show whether I am likely to miscarry soon or not (but they said if it shows a normal baby that won't be helpful).
I've tried to book in to see a counsellor that we saw when having marriage issues a few years back but she is booked out til Nov. I said that is too late and we are on a wait list in case someone cancels.
I just think that this councelor is the only one that DH is likely to agree to see... when I brought up councelling earlier he dismissed it saying he doesn't need it.
(that was talking about the one that work has offered, where we get 3 free sessions)
I have a beautiful SIL who unfortunately lives a 4 hour plane ride away... I just rang her and had a chat... she is coming down this weekend for a wedding, and said she will try to talk to DH while she is down. She is actually planning on moving back down to Vic in Nov... and even she said she wishes it was earlier now.
sorry this is all over the place... so many things going through my mind... my work have let me work from home the next couple of weeks, but it is hard when you have a phone meeting one minute, and the next you are looking up pregnancy loss Australia websites... they have been great though and have offered to backfill me if I need time off... its just that I would rather wait until after the miscarriage / termination when I will really need it.
I guess this post has been sitting here long enough now... just need to click that Add Reply button...

Hi Apples,
I am so sorry you need to join our group
I know this is going to sound horrible but if you do make it to 20 weeks you are entitled to the baby bonus. Re Funeral we had our little girl cremated at no cost to us thru tobin bros and that counts as far as the government is concerned.
I wish that I was there to give you a hug in person that I know you desperately need.
Posted 12 October 2012 - 08:59 AM
Thanks Kirsee.
Yesterday was an ok day, but I feel that today is going to be another bad day...
I got an email from someone at work (kind of like a boss, but not quite), asking when I am going to come back to the office (I'm working from home until the end of all this... too many people were starting to notice that I am pregnant and ask questions).
I don't even know what to say... I started to feel sick just thinking about it...
I need to call the genetic councelor today to ask about our US date... I got a letter in the mail saying it is the 26th Oct, but that is after I am 20 weeks...
If that is the only date we get I don't know how DH is going to react... I feel like he will blame me, coz it has taken me this long to get to the point where I am feeling more comfortable with the termination... previously I just couldn't go there I was still thinking there was some hope, or maybe they had got it wrong.
What if that is the only appt we can get, and have to have that before they can induce me?
How soon after that appt would they book us in?
These are all questions I need to ask when I ring... I will probably work up the courage to call and nobody will answer!
thanks for the info on the baby bonus... I kind of thought that in the back of my mind but thought it was not appropriate to ask about!
Since the funeral is the big thing issue with my DH at the moment, does anyone else have any info for me? Do they do it like a normal funeral? As terrible as this sounds, would they do it without us there?

my first attempt....based on a true story and real character - A punjaban housewife
This is my first try ever at writing a story so please let me know if I am doing an OK job and the stuff is worth reading.
I am resident of East Delhi and work in Cannaught Place area. I am an only child aged 28 and live with my parents. My parents are looking for a
suitable bride for me these days and currently I do not have a gf.
I am going to describe a story of a well endowed punjaban who lives with her husband in my colony. Let me first tell you all a little bit about her.
She is 27 years old and works in the same telephone company as myself, I am not going to disclose the name of the company for privacy reasons. But
she earns a descent salary and works pretty honestly. She is quite fair as most punjabans are but the good thing about her is the combination of her
boobs are ass. You must be thinking that every subject in stories like this is very hot, but this story is based on a real person and thats why it
is important that you realize that I am not lying. Her name is Jasminder. She by no means is thin, but has flesh in right places like Vidya Balan. But
her boobs are ass her way more sexy than Vidya B.
Her boobs will easily measure 36 D and her ass jutts out a bit when she stands. In the office she wears mostly salwar suits and sarees sometimes. I
would say that her big and in shape boobs are a major chatting point amongst male co workers including me. All the men, even those 50 year old
officers talk about her because the way her sarees wrapped around tightly, define the contours of her body and how even when her boobs are covered
properly with her pallu, they look as if they will burst out. She does not have a flat stomach, but it is quite close to that. She normally wears
those longer length blouses which hide most of her midriff and expose little. An interesting fact about those blouses is that they always expose
about 1 - 1 1/2 inches of her fair cleavage, but she always keeps her pallu pinned so not many people have seen the heavenly sight of that milky
cleavage bouncing as she walks. I on the other hand have seen the sight few times in and around the colony and once in an office party. When she
wears salwar kameez, her kameez is always a bit tight which is very tempting but other than that the whole attire is descent too. I prefer seeing her
in salwar kameez because the share those slightly tighter kameez gives her. She covers her chest using a dupatta but still the shape can be easily
seen and appreciated. I am sure every male hand in my office itches to grab her just once and run all over her body. Even the thought of me doing
that is enough for my dick to go hard. I am sure if anyone gets a chance to actually grab her boobs and ass with masturbate freely for a month.
Another important thing about this woman is her attitude. She has a lot of it. I have spoken to her sometimes but I have to make sure that I keep my
eyes straight and talk very professionally. She shares a work friend type of relationship with me and nothing more. But I have seen her rebuke people
passing looks and comments. She gets really angry when someone tries to be smart with her in the office and I have noticed that most junior men keep
a safe distance. However, she has to tolerate a bit when some of the senior guys try to steal glances at her boobs and ass as she walks around. She
knows that she cant do much about that. Let me tell you that is also above average in terms of her beautiful face, specially when she does a little
bit of make up. In the office she wears some basic make up to look attractive. As with most of the women, she knows when people are looking at her
and what their intentions are. It has been almost 1 year since she joined and I have seen her wear sarees or suits only 5 - 6 times that stretched
anyone's balls just by looking. Otherwise, she dresses pretty normally.
She usually takes the bus or the metro to come to work but sometimes her husband drops her to the office in his car too. On those days, I get a ride
to work too. Jasminder calls me up if her husband is dropping her and I gladly go with them. Not only that is a good opportunity to talk to her and her
husband but also get some glances at her body specially her boobs and cleavage when possible. If you talk normally to her without looking at her body
she is really sweet and friendly. Its just that, not many people in the office are able to do so. I have seen some of the older and senior men just
openly stare at her boobs area when they talk to her to look in her direction in meetings etc. I glance at her face sometimes to see if she has noticed
those stares and almost always I feel that she has and her temper is rising. But she has to control because of the seniority of those men and their
power. Her boss, K Ravindran is usually one of the worst offenders when it comes to lustfully staring and honestly I do not blame that guy. His friends
who are similar high positions as himself often make jealous comments to him about Jasminder. Where as people like me simply make dirty jokes about her
while each fantasizing about her lustful body. I also get teased sometimes because I am the one who she talks to most in our office. And by most I mean
a few mins before and after lunch. She does have several female friends in the office and she spends her lunch time mostly with them. These ladies
usually have a lot to talk about it seems, because we see them laughing and chatting in the mess every afternoon.
The combination of her sexy full body and her attitude make her so irresistible for me. I just feel I had the power of hypnotizing so that I make her
my sex slave when I want. I can only imagine touching those heavenly tits and crushing them while she moans slightly. Ah, wishful thinking. But this
attitude is toned down a bit when she travels using the public transport because even she knows that there is no use picking fights every day with
men in buses or metros. She usually goes to work around 8:00 am in the morning and I start around 8:30, but sometime we catch the same bus or the same
train. We leave work around the same time but she has company of a female colleague while going back, so I keep my distance.
This story is about one such day when by sheer luck, I traveled in the same metro train with her in the morning and the same bus with her in the eve.
I am not sure, but I guess she did see me at the metro station in the morning that day but she did not know that I was in the same bus during the
evening ride. She definitely did not know that I was traveling in the same metro coach as hers in the morning too.
I spotted Jasminder walking pretty fast towards the metro station, it was close to 8:25 and she was late than usual. She was wearing a darkish maroon saree
and the sight of her walking fast in front of me was enough for my dick to feel a twitch. She was more than 10 meters in front of me but I could still
see that ass moving wildly as she hurriedly walked past rikshaw pullers and street hawkers smiling and passing some comments amongst themselves after
seeing her. Those bastards were lucky because they must have seen the front view with Jasminder almost running, which would have meant that her boobs must
have been out of control. I wish I was standing somewhere in the front of the road too, so that I could capture a mental image for my nightly wet dreams.
I am also sure that she shot them an angry glance as she was walking by those people. I increased my speed so that I could keep to her pace, afterall I
was not a fool to miss an opportunity to watch her bulging ass. At this time of the day, the crowds are bigger and I guess Jasminder wanted to avoid missing
the 8:30 train at all costs. The next metro at 8:40 is even more crowded.
I saw her making her way through the crowds to the ticket counter deftly while trying to avoid physical contact with other men and women. But everyone
knows that it is not entirely possible. Specially for a bomb like her and sure enough while she was getting towards the counter, I saw 2 - 3 people
brushing her ass and waist while walking by. I have to admit that one of them was truly an accident as the nice gentleman try to swerve away at the last
moment but could not avoid his knee grazing Jasminder's right leg. I guess everyone women using the public travel in Delhi does not even flinch when these
things happen because they know that firstly there are so many people that it is not easy for men to avoid accidentally touching other men lrt alone women.
Secondly, women know that in a crowd, these things happen so fast that there is no way to tell for sure who did it and they keep quiet to avoid the ruckus
and attention.
Jasminder did not glance back even once as a result of those accidental touches. I fumed inside wishing she did not know me at all or that I those filmy masks
that change the face completely so that I could brush my palms against that ass or her milky navel. I knew that if someone tried to do so in our office
that person will be screamed at instantly followed by an official complaint. And now even a random bloke can touch her for a whole 1 second and she would
not even look.
Anyway I kept my gaze on her and I could see her running towards the platform upstairs. She did not even take the escalator because it was too slow and too
crowded. she simply climbed the stairs and she was pretty fast. (Later I was told that she was going out for a conference with her boss to Lodhi Road and
had to be on time desperately). Even her stair climbing exercise filled my heart with lustful joy as I saw her lifting her saree to her ankles and then
letting those humungous tits bounce freely. My heart almost skipped a beat when I saw that pallu slip to the right and her almost 2 inch cleavage exposed
as she was reaching the top set of stairs. Now I was the one who was staring openly and I swear that a couple of young boys could standing on top could
not believe the their luck as they saw this bombshell punjaban climbing the stairs pretty fast while letting her tits bounce making that cleavage go from
2 inches to 3 inches. I took the glass elevator on the opposite side of the stairs and therefore was able to catch the front view without any hindrance.
Jasminder quickly adjusted herself when she got up to the platform, but this scene was enough for me to feel a bulge in my pants. While she was adjusting
her saree, I noticed something else too.
I dont know if she did it on purpose because she was going to a big conference, but I noticed that her blouse were not those typical long ones that she
wears regularly, this one was a normal length blouse that stopped about one and half inches from the base of her boobs. The second more surprising thing
for me was the way she had tied that saree, it was sitting an inch below her navel. Even though I saw it for just a couple of seconds, I could not
believe my eyes. I am use to seeing her dressed conservatively in the office and although there was nothing obscene about her today, a fair skinned bomb
like her showing few inches of extra skin was very arousing for me. Add to that about 3 inches of pure white cleavage that I saw earlier, it was making me
really horny.
And I was sure that other men in the office will notice her saree too. I already knew what the topic of conversation will be during lunch today.
So Jasminder adjusted herself properly and moved closer to the waiting area of the platform where about a 50 men and women were standing waiting for the next
Very gud..
Friends as I said, my first attempt
So please let me know if you like this stuff
bro just write it! readers will read if it is a true story you should not care if people like it or not..Please understand that all of us are horny here and it spoils the mood when you leave a story in between!
The metro arrived soon enough, after about a couple of mins of waiting. During this time, I think she glanced around and may have seen me, but I am
not sure about that.
There is a ladies coach in every metro and depending on how much space it has, around 70% of the ladies try to get in one of those coaches. I guess our lady
had no idea that catching the metro at 8:30 instead of her usual time of 8:00 will mean that the ladies coach was jam packed and only about 10 - 12 ladies
could even get in. Jasminder got into another coach with a couple other ladies and I had to move quickly to get in the same compartment, although using the
other door, which was much closer to me. Anyone who has traveled in a general coach of a metro will tell you that there are few ladies in there and most
of the people are squished together. You know, even as I was stepping inside the compartment, a strange excitement hit me, I knew how people cram in these
coaches and moments ago, I saw a milky booby punjaban who is in lusty fantasies of a lot of men step inside the cauldron probably because she does not know
how bad it gets in there. Maybe she did not even care, after all she had that big conference to attend and she could not get late. I just had to move closer
to her, there's no way I will let her ride this metro for the next 20 mins away from my sight and my cock.
Sure enough, when I managed to get a glimpse, she was standing just in front of the door with no one standing in front and a hoard of people surrounding her.
It was compulsion, even if they wanted to give her space, they could not. I also saw a few other women in the coach but none of them looked so desirable as
my hot colleague. She was facing the door looking outside holding a file from her left hand and an overhead rail using her right hand. She had her bag strung
on her left shoulder as well. She held her file close to her waist in way that it was covering her side midriff. Then I started noticing things that only I
could see because I had my eyes on her and her surroundings.
I saw that the men who was standing behind her could not believe their luck, they had that look in their eyes. To my astonishment, amongst these men were
those 2 government school boys, who were probably not more than 16 and definitely bunking their school. There uniforms told me that they did not go to one of
those fancy private schools. Their shirts were a bit ragged and trousers dirty. They had old shoes and bags were almost torn. But the most important thing,
they had balls and luck on their side. They saw this hot working lady much older than themselves, displaying some cleavage and skin accidentally and they had the
balls to follow her. That Jasminder was not able to go into the ladies compartment told me that luck was on their side too. The other thing that they had was a
smile on their faces and they were whispering amongst themselves. I was too far away to hear anything, but I am sure they were talking about their good
fortune. They were looking disheveled and I could tell just my looking at them that they never had any girl friends only fascinate about women by looking at
porn. They were quite thin too and one of them had a thin mustache to go along with his dark skin colour. The other one had wheatish complexion.
They were carrying their torn school bags on their shoulders and standing about 3 to 4 inches behind her. I was not able to comprehend and my mind was
starting to wild with imagination. What if these filthy looking school try something with her, what if they try to touch her, what if they are able to get even
closer to her??? how will she react etc etc....my mind was going crazy and again I was cursing myself. Those lucky punks was so damn close to my dream sex slut.
Maybe they were just contend in being close to her...who knows, only time will tell and my heart was beating faster.

With introductions like the Renault EOLAB and Citroën C4 Cactus Airflow in the days leading up to the 2014 Paris Motor Show, it became obvious that the French had big plans for their home show. French automakers, big and small, didn't disappoint, showing a multitude of highly stylized, tech-heavy concepts and vehicles during the show. They had such a strong showing, in fact, that we thought it appropriate to give them a dedicated space separate from our main Paris wrap-up. Here's what the French have to say about modern vehicle design. Read More
As we approach the Paris Motor Show, one thing is becoming very clear: The French are quite ready to host a big auto show. We've already seen two very interesting French concept cars in the form of the Peugeot Hybrid Air demonstrator and the Renault EOLAB. Now Peugeot has detailed the QUARTZ concept, a hybrid 4x4 that combines elements of crossover and sedan body styles in becoming "an SUV for the future." Read More
A car that runs on air? Peugeot is working on it. The French automaker revealed its Hybrid Air technology last year and will showcase the 208 Hybrid 2L Demonstrator car at the Paris Motor Show next month. The latest iteration of the Hybrid Air design complements the gasoline-air powertrain with weight- and drag-cutting measures to offer fuel economy in the range of 117 mpg (2 L/100km), which is well above the 81 mpg (2.9 L/100km) it was quoting last year.

Easily one of the toughest, meanest new vehicles of 2014, the 2008 DKR is being prepped for Peugeot's 2015 return to the Dakar Rally. We've already looked at the drastic body modifications, and now we have the details on what will be propelling the rally car up powdery hills, through fiery canyons and over rough desert floors.

Peugeot has given its 208 GTi more power and a new suspension set up in an effort to recreate some of the magic that made its hot hatches famous in the past. Read More
For the last decade and a half, Audi has dominated the World Endurance Championship racing. It would be easy to dismiss yesterday's 13th Le Mans 24 Hour Race win for the company in 16 years as "same stuff, different year." In that time, it has significantly changed the world's perception of both diesel engines and hybrid power trains. Yet yesterday's win is probably its finest achievement. Read More
After a record-breaking performance in the 208 T16 at last year's Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Peugeot announced a few weeks back that it would again team with Red Bull and Total, this time with its sights on next year's Dakar Rally. The announcement marks the French brand's return after a 25-year absence. This week, it shared the initial details and pictures of the off-roader it will put to the test on South American soil. The 2008 DKR is a big, brutal version of its namesake crossover, and it looks hungry for a win. Read More
Picking up where it left off with the Onyx Concept, one of our choices for best concepts of 2012, Peugeot has revealed another sporty concept car that gets creative in the materials department. Like the Onyx, the EXALT concept catches the eye with a multi-material body that includes a healthy portion of bare metal. Read More
If you were compiling a list of the world's sportiest front wheel drive cars, you'd no doubt start with names like the MINI Cooper S, Volkswagen Golf GTI or Scirocco R, Ford Focus RS500 or Taurus SHO, Honda Integra Type R, Vauxhall/Opel Vectra or Astra VXR models, Peugeot 205 GTi, Alfa Romeo 147 or 156 GTA models, Nissan Altima Coupe, Mazda speed3, one of the Renaultsport Meganes, or if you're a little older perhaps the Lotus Elan, Lancia Fulvia, Fiat Abarth or Volvo S80 T6. Now there's a new name to put at the very top of that list and several new contenders gunning for the crown.Read More

No One Was Shot at Condé Nast Today
Except maybe some models.
Condé Nast's Security Operation Center sent out an alarming e-mail to staff today: "We have received reports that a firearm has been discharged on the 10th floor of 750 building, 3rd Avenue in New York," it read. "If you are in a safe location, remain where you are. Get behind a locked door, or hide behind some type of obstruction. Lay down on the floor, and remain as quite as possible." Then, before leftover Fairchild employees had decided whether or not they wanted to wrinkle their work ensembles, they took it back: "The message was sent in error. It was a department drill. Please accept our apologies. Please disregard." [Gawker]
