LUCASVILLE, Ohio (AP) - Ohio has executed a man who fatally shot an adult bookstore security guard at the end of a multistate crime spree nearly 20 years ago.
Frederick Treesh, sentenced to die for killing Henry Dupree in a 1994 robbery, was pronounced dead at 10:37 a.m. Wednesday.
Attorneys for the 48-year-old Treesh argued he accepted responsibility for the killing but it was an unintentional consequence of a struggle for a gun while he was high.
Prosecutors contend Treesh intentionally murdered Dupree and tried to kill others, including police officers in pursuit.
Authorities say Treesh and a co-defendant robbed banks and businesses, committed sexual assaults, stole cars, committed carjackings and shot someone to death in a Michigan robbery during a spree that also took them to Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Drew Barrymore, Walmart And Maesa Launch Premium Cosmetics Line
NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Women no longer have to spend a lot of money to get the quality cosmetics they want and deserve. Today, Drew Barrymore, Walmart and Maesa announced the launch of FLOWER, an exclusive cosmetics line custom formulated with the same quality ingredients found in department store luxury brands, but sold for a fraction of the price. The portfolio consists of more than 181 eye, face, lip and nail products ranging from $4.98 to $13.98, and will be available in more than 1,500 Walmart stores and on Walmart.com by the end of January. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130114/DA41564 )Actress, Producer, Director and former Co-Creative Director of her own CoverGirl campaign (2007-2012), Drew Barrymore has a true passion for makeup. FLOWER encompasses Drew's favorite cosmetics that she's used throughout her career. She comments, "I have grown up in a make-up chair. I loved watching women in this aspirational environment. But it was and always will be important to me to send messages of empowerment. And on a business level, I wanted to give women the finest formulas. They deserve to have that level of quality, and I wanted to be the brand that delivers that to them." "Today, too many women overpay for quality makeup or make a unnecessary extra trip to a department store to purchase their cosmetics," said Carmen Bauza, vice president of beauty and personal care at Walmart U.S. "This partnership will save our customers time and money. FLOWER is the premium cosmetics line our customers have been asking for, and is the newest addition to Walmart's broad assortment of beauty products that help women feel beautiful at a great value." After 15 years in business, Maesa, a leading creator and manufacturer of exclusive beauty products, is ushering in a new era with the launch of FLOWER. "Drew has brought her passion and knowledge of premium cosmetics to FLOWER," Petra Tucker-Moss, senior director of product development and marketing at Maesa. "Her first-hand knowledge of luxury cosmetics allowed Drew and Maesa to collaborate and develop a makeup line that delivers on its promise of bringing premium quality make-up to mass." Through a revolutionary business model, FLOWER has formulated products and designed packaging at the same level as prestige brands. As an owner of the brand, Drew takes pride in promoting FLOWER, which in turn allows the company to put all of its money into the formulations and packaging, and not into advertising. The result: this saved revenue allows FLOWER to spend two to three times more on formulation and packaging than the average mass market brand, resulting in high-performing, premium make-up of the highest quality at a price women can afford.

My husband refuses to tell her to do anything although he hates seeing her messes. He always complains to me about how messy she is. He rarely goes into her room, and won't ask her to do anything around the house even if its clear she could. For example: if he comes home earlier than me, and DD is home and there are dishes in the sink, he'll get mad but instead of asking her to do it (cause she was here first) he does it. She has no problem doing stuff if you ask but will never take the initiative to do it herself.
My husband says I should be the one telling her to do things cause I'm her mother. He says he comes home late and should not be the one to be the " bad guy". He fights with me about how messy she is and how she's going to be embrassed and have problems at college with roommates. He has flat out told me he WILL NOT get involved. He blames this on me, saying that when she was younger I would get mad whenever he asked her to do something. (I admit I used to because he can be a complete idiot at times and has no social skills or tact when asking..he would yell at her with no reason without giving her a chance first). So now he says because of that, he has learned to just leave it to me. I am sick of us arguing almost weekly because of this. I feel this is his child too and he should be taking responsibility for disciplining her as well. I feel lonely and depressed like I am a single parent and hurt because he is treating them both differently. He sometimes has this machismo attitude (he does cook on weekends and at times helps clean, mop, etc.) and mentions things like she'll never be able to run a household, get married, or learn to do anything because of how messy she is and because *I * didn't teach her. I am tired of doing it alone. It wasn't always like this. It has gotten worse since about a year ago when she decided she would go away to college. The morning we were arguing again (she's working today) and I told him if he's going to let me do it all alone then just leave and leave me alone to do it. Otherwise just not get involved in whether or not I ask her to help. I am so dissapointed with this while relationship, this being one of the things that hurts the most because of how different he treats them and because I don't feel like he is a partner with me on this. I really don't know what I'm asking for here, maybe have any of you had to deal with something like this? did it change? Would this be one of the deal breakers? I don't want to live the next 18 years dealing with this same issue.
He will not go to counseling as I have suggested it many many times.

How a dog in Massachusetts passed time
Time was of the essence after a Massachusetts dog consumed three wristwatches — almost in their entirety.
The owners of Mocha said they rushed the dog to MSPCA's Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston after finding a few remaining pieces of the watches — which had been inside a drawer the dog somehow opened — on the floor.
Mocha was admitted on April 16, the hospital said in a press release, and endured a three-hour endoscopic procedure which allowed the medical team to determine how much material was in her belly — and the best way to remove it.
The team was able to remove some of the leather from Mocha's stomach using the endoscopy instruments.
As for the rest, they decided to let nature take its course, which nature did.
Over a period of several days, Mocha eliminated another pound of broken leather straps, buckles and various other metal pieces, said Dr. Zachary Crouse.
"We were especially cautious and wanted to avoid surgery—given her history," he said.
Mocha was admitted to the animal hospital in August of 2014 after swallowing a plastic juice container lid. It obstructed her intestine and had to be surgically removed.
Angell doctors credited the quick thinking of Mocha's owners, Michele Parkinson and Jeff Courcelle of Salem, who rushed the dog to the animal ER immediately after discovering bits and pieces of the watches on the floor of their home.
"Mocha dodged a bullet for sure and I credit her owners for getting her straight to the hospital," said Dr. Crouse. "This could easily have turned into a life-threatening situation if they had delayed."
"We brought her to Angell as soon as my husband saw the broken watch pieces, even though she was showing no symptoms whatsoever," said Parkinson, who works as a nurse in the hematology department of a major area hospital.
Mocha stayed at the medical center for two days, and returned last Monday for a follow-up exam. An x-ray showed that six small pieces remain inside her, but should pass without surgical intervention.
"One thing's for sure: we're going to do everything we can to keep anything remotely ingestible out of her reach," said Parkinson.

Blood of a dog helps save a cat
Buttercup can thank dog for being alive.
The Key West cat received a blood transfusion from a dog last month — not an unknown procedure, but a pretty rare one.
It's called xenotransfusion, and according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine only 62 cats have been known to undergo the procedure.
On Sept. 16, Dr. Sean Perry from the Marathon Veterinary Hospital pumped the blood of a greyhound into an orange tabby, in hopes of increasing the cat's red blood cell count.
Veterinarians decided to use dog blood they had on hand after learning that suitable cat blood could take weeks to receive.
"It's a situation where you can't give type A blood to a type B blood cat because it'll cause a severe immune reaction," Perry said. "It was actually safer to give the cat dog's blood."
Buttercup's owner, Ernie Saunders, brought the cat to the vet after it became lethargic, ABC reported.
After a few tests, veterinarians learned Buttercup's red blood cell count was down to 7 percent. Cats should have a red blood cell count of at least 35 percent, Perry said.
"Cat's blood is a little harder to come by and not as available as dog's blood," Perry said. "We had greyhound blood packs that we get from a blood bank that has red blood cells separated from plasma. Buttercup showed no signs of rejection during the transfusion."
Perry said as far as veterinarians know, cats are the only animal that accept transfused blood from dogs, and that after it is done once it can't be done again.
Since the procedure, Saunders said Buttercup has been more active.
In addition to learning about xenotransfusion, Saunders learned something else from the vet visit.
Buttercup, who he thought was a female, is a male.

Killing dogs to make our smiles prettier
I'm a big fan of dogs, and not a fan of dentistry at all, so as you might expect I've got some problems with dogs being used to test out dental implants, in hopes of making better and safer ones for humans.
Especially considering that dogs are suffering and dying in the process, as The Humane Society of the United States says is the case at Georgia Regents University.
The HSUS last week released this report, containing undercover footage obtained during its three-month-long investigation at GRU. The experiments lead to two questions in my mind.
First, since the research is supposed to benefit humans, why not use humans for the tests? I'm sure there are plenty of people who are in need of dental implants and who, unable to afford them, might be willing to volunteer. I myself might take the risk, assuming that the researchers don't insist on killing me afterwards to get a sample of my jawbone.
And that's question number two: Why is it necessary to kill a dog after he's already made an unwilling contribution to science — or at least a contribution to us humans being able to have gap-free permanent false teeth and not having to mess with things like denture adhesives?
As one dentist told the Humane Society, it's not.
"In the two studies I reviewed, human research subjects could have been used, given that the products were already approved by the Food and Drug Administration and bone biopsies are commonly done in human studies," said James P. Jensvold, DDS.
"Animals used in research are often 'sacrificed' at the end of the study, and this is accepted as standard practice without taking into consideration the unnecessary emotional and physical suffering that the animals must endure," Jensvold added. "As a dental student and oral and maxillofacial surgery resident, I witnessed laboratory animals being treated as little different than a test tube, which is inconsistent with the values of compassionate healthcare."
"Dogs don't need to die for frivolous dental experiments," said Wayne Pacelle, HSUS president and CEO. "It's painful to watch these forlorn dogs sacrificed for these questionable purposes…"
If you tend to distrust dentists, and Wayne Pacelle, perhaps you'll believe actress Kim Basinger, who narrates the HSUS report:
"GRU buys dogs from a Class B dealer who's under federal investigation," she notes. "Dogs like Shy Guy, along with others, who may have been famiily pets, were all used for unnecessary dental experiments. Their teeth were pulled out and replaced. It's very painful, just look into their eyes."
(Dogs used in the experiments, after having their teeth removed, are given a canine version of dental implants, not human ones, like you find in those freakish — to me, anyway — ads for Pedigree Dentastix.)
The HSUS investigator witnessed dogs having their teeth pulled out and replaced with implants. Once the experiments were over, the dogs were euthanized for a small sample of their jaw bone. GRU has been conducting dental implant research on random-source Class B dogs for years.
There are only six random-source Class B Dealers still active in the U.S. They are permitted to gather dogs and cats from various sources, including auctions, "free to good home" ads, online sources, flea markets, and even animal control and some shelter facilities — and resell them to research facilities. There have been cases of stolen pets ending up in research laboratories via ClassB dealers, the HSUS says.
The dealer who sold the dogs to GRU, Kenneth Schroeder, has previously been charged by the U.S. Department of Agriculture with violations of the Animal Welfare Act, including obtaining dogs from unauthorized sources, according to the HSUS.
Dr. Mark Hamrick, Senior Vice President for Research at Georgia Regents University, issued the school's response to the HSUS allegations:
"As an institution, we are committed to research that will provide a direct benefit to patient lives by restoring function to damaged and diseased organs and tissues … The Food and Drug Administration, which provides oversight for medical device safety and procedures including dental implants, requires preclinical studies in animals demonstrating that the device or procedure is both safe and effective for its intended use in humans … The research being done with dogs is neither frivolous nor unnecessary, as alleged by the investigation, and is performed in order to develop safe, effective dental procedures for people."
The HSUS says the studies are being done at the university in part to compare a dental implant invented by researchers at GRU, in conjunction with a private company, with that of a competitor.
According to the HSUS, 65,000 dogs per year are used for research, testing, and education in the U.S.

When your dog tells you you have cancer
Four years ago, Nancy Granato was sitting at home in Pitman, N.J., with her granddaughter's dog on her lap.
Suddenly the shih tzu began going in circles, nudged her in the left breast, then got down on the floor and howled.
It was unusual in several ways. For one thing, Taffy never barked.
Granato, as the dog continued yapping, reached for the spot Taffy had nudged and found a lump.
She visited doctors, had some tests done, and was told she had nothing to be concerned about. To be safe though, she underwent a biopsy. It confirmed what she suspected Taffy was trying to tell her — she had breast cancer.
"I did listen to the dog, but I also listened to me," she told the South Jersey Times.
The ability of dogs to detect cancer is well documented, if not completely understood. But it's unusual for one who hasn't been trained to do so to make what seems to be a diagnosis.
Researchers believe what dogs are smellling are the chemical changes that occur when normal cells are altered by cancerous ones.
Granato found out she was in the first stage of breast cancer. Doctors removed the lump and she underwent chemotherapy. During her treatments, Taffy provided some emotional support, she said.
Granato said she has been in remission for four years. Doctors detected another lump last September, but she says she wasn't too worried.
"I kept saying, 'The dog didn't bark,' " Granato said. "It can't be."
Results showed the lump was benign.

Circovirus kills at least one dog in Ohio
State Department of Agriculture officials say they've confirmed a case of circovirus in one of the eight dogs who became mysteriously sick or died across Ohio in recent weeks.
The disease is common in pigs but has only recently been diagnosed in dogs.
Eight dogs from the Canton area to the Cincinnati area, have fallen ill with similar symptoms over the past three weeks.
Of those, four died, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
On Friday, one of those cases was confirmed as circovirus, said Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Erica Hawkins.
Testing continues on samples from the other seven dogs, and it's too early to know if they all contracted the same disease, she added.
Pathologists sent samples from dogs to a lab at the University of California-Davis to test them for circovirus. A one-year-old beagle with circovirus died in California in the spring, and the school's lab has the equipment to test for the virus. A study detailing the California case was released in April in the Centers for Disease Control's online journal "Emerging Infectious Diseases."
Symptoms of the virus included vasculitis (a destruction of the body's blood vessels), severe vomiting, bloody diarrhea, fluid buildup around the lungs, as well as rapid heart rate and weakness.
In August, the state Department of Agriculture issued an alert after several dog deaths were reported in Norwood, just north of Cincinnati. Four dogs became sick with similar symptoms, and three of them died. All of the dogs had spent time at the same boarding kennel. The facility shut down temporarily and replaced its flooring and other equipment. But owners of the company say that was done as a precaution and that tests of the facility's food, water and surfaces show no signs of anything that could have triggered the illnesses.
The other four suspected cases were all in the Akron area, but there are no indications that the dogs had spent time together.
Dr. Melanie Butera, a veterinarian at Elm Ridge Animal Hospital in Canal Fulton, treated all four of the Akron-area dogs. All became very ill with similar symptoms, and all were around 3 or four years old. One of the four died.
Health officials and veterinarians said that owners who suspect their dog has the illness should get the pet to a veterinarian right away.
Butera warned dog owners not to panic. There have only been a handful of cases so far, and even if circovirus is responsible for all the cases, it's not the first time dogs have faced a new illness.
"Viruses mutate all the time, and we see that in human viruses, and sometimes mutations allow the virus to cross into a different species," she said.

With all the research into how the medical issues of dogs often run parallel to our own, it's no surprise that eight obsessive-compulsive Doberman pinschers are adding to our body of knowledge about that disorder.
A new study made use of MRI brain scans and found dogs and people with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) have similar brain abnormalities and share certain brain characteristics.
Three years ago, researchers found the shared gene believed responsible for flank-sucking, blanket-sucking and other compulsive behavior in Dobermans.
The new study shows what's going on in their brains is similar — at least as an MRI sees it — to what's going on in our's.
"We have a lot of commonality with our best friend the dog," said study leader Niwako Ogata, an assistant professor of animal behavior at Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine in Indiana.
Just as elderly dogs with the canine equivalent of Alzheimer's are being used as models to understand the degenerative disease in people, studying dogs is providing some clues into OCD, an anxiety disorder afflicting anywhere from 2 to 8 percent of Americans.
For the study, Ogata and colleagues recruited eight Doberman pinschers with CCD (canine compulsive disorder) and a control group of eight Dobermans without CCD, according to National Geographic. The team obtained MRI scans for each group and discovered that the CCD dogs had higher total brain and gray matter volumes and lower gray matter densities in certain parts of the brain. That's similar to the structures of people brains' with OCD.
It's not known why both species' brains show these features, Ogata said, but her team plans to repeat the experiment with more dogs and more breeds.
The team chose Dobermans because of the prevalence of CCD in the breed. About 28 percent of Dobermans in the U.S. are afflicted.
People with OCD often perform the same rituals over and over again, like washing and rewashing their hands and locking and relocking doors. In dogs, common compulsive behaviors include paw-licking and tail-chasing.
Ogata, whose study was published online in April in the journal Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry, said the study provides a better idea of ""how brains develop, and when and how genes interact with [their] environment to cause some behavior problems for both humans and dogs."

Take two dogs and call me in the morning
Call it an "aha" moment for the AHA: The American Heart Association has finally, officially, recognized that dogs are good for the ticker.
Last week, the organization issued a statement saying enough evidence now exists to make that assertion, and it didn't even recommend dogs be taken in moderation, or consulting your doctor first.
Heartening as the news release was, the statement was overdue, or at least a few beats behind the thinking of those of us who already knew, and didn't need studies to tell us, that our dogs are good for the heart, by which I mean the organ and more.
Dog owners are more likely to get exercise. Stroking a dog lowers blood pressure. Stress is handled better by dog owners — even when their dog isn't with them. Studies have proven all those things.
But the mysteries of what dogs do for the heart, and the soul, have only begun to be unraveled. And on top of all the benefits to humans that can be scientifically confirmed and quantified, there's much more dogs do for us — much of it undetectable by microscopes and double-blind studies, and part of me hopes it always will be.
Being humans, we can sometimes get so wrapped in measuring something that it interferes with treasuring that something. We can get so intent on delving into something's complexities that we fail to savor its simplicity.
Dogs, could they speak, would tell us that, and they'd likely advise to look for the simple answer first.
How important, heart-wise, is the simple fact that a dog can give us reason to live, and love? While I am not a medical professional, or even a medical amateur, I think a heart that's engaged and occupied is more likely to keep running smoothly than one sitting empty in the garage, getting dusty.
"Perhaps when one owns a pet one tends to be happier," said Dr. Glenn Levine of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, who led the committee that wrote the statement. "Pet owners might be more likely to take their medications and eat healthier meals."
Pharmaceuticals and spinach, important as they may be, don't make you happy to be alive, though, and want to continue in that state.
Dogs do.
The AHA isn't saying everyone should go out and adopt a dog to lower their risk of heart disease. The statement emphasizes there's much more involved in keeping your heart healthy, according to an NBC Today report.
"We did not want people to see this article and just go out and adopt or rescue or buy a dog …while they continue to just sit on the couch and smoke cigarettes," said Levine, himself a dog owner.
In one study cited by the committee, researchers signed up 30 people with borderline high blood pressure who were about to adopt dogs from a shelter.
Then they persuaded half of them to wait — in the best interest of the study, if not the dogs.
Those allowed to adopt dogs right away had lower blood pressure two and five months later than those who had not adopted.
And once all the study participants had adopted dogs, systolic blood pressure was found to be lowered in the deferred-adoption group as well.
The study didn't say whether those that adopted had lower blood pressure than those who bought dogs. Nevertheless, and even though I'm not a doctor, that's what I'd prescribe.

Be civilized.
Tyson Hart's Civilian bike brand was borne out of a personal desire to create frames that he couldn't find in the mass-market. His first frames were hand-crafted, and his 'cross frame gained in popularity due in no small part to its handling and the attitude it conveys. The Civilian brand gained popularity so fast, that Hart took the attention to detail that he put into every custom frame into the Le Roi Le Veut, a steel frame that'll have to you wishing there were 'cross races year 'round.
Although not hand-made, the Le Roi Le Veut was constructed from 4130 double-butted steel tubing. This tubing is lightweight and responsive and also helps to minimize the impact on your wallet. It is also durable enough to take anything that a cyclocross course throws at it, and gives you a supple ride when you are on the road. It does this with seat stays and chain stays that are shaped to fight deflection when you mash the pedals but that also help to absorb vibration from rough roads. A traditionally styled frame meets with a 'chubby' head tube. This deviation ensures that the front end is extra stiff which helps it move through rutted courses with ease. It also helps deflect forces from the front disc brake and the full carbon CX fork which help it stay stable while braking.
The rear triangle sees singlespeed Tange Design 7075 aluminum horizontal dropouts. The braking relies upon disc brakes and for that reason you won't find canti-posts on the frame. Avid BB5 mechanical calipers and a 160mm front and 140mm rear rotor are stopped by Tektro RL340 brake levers. To power your bike after the re-mount, you'll spin FSA Gossamer cranks with Mega EXO bearings. The Le Roi de Veut comes standard with a 39tooth front chain ring and an 18tooth rear cog. To this end, you'd think that a singlespeed-specific wheelset would be used. Civilian, instead, uses double-walled alloy rims with 32 spokes. The singlespeed rides on the Shimano freehub body using a spacer kit. To convert the bike to a 1X, all you need is a cassette, rear derailleur, and derailleur hanger, and shifter. The wheels are built with Formula hubs and Kenda Kwicker 700c x 32mm tires.
To ensure that you're comfortable, an alloy cockpit rounds out the build, with Ritchey aluminum handlebars, seatpost, and stem. Velo perforated bar tape and saddle complete the package.
The Civilian Le Roi Le Veut comes in 50, 53, 55, 57, 59, and 61cm sizes, and it's available in the color Royal Purple.

Have questions about this product?
20 miles in (experienced Rider)
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
So the shipping time with them having to "build and test" the bike took too long if you ask me. REPLACE THE SEAT (order a seat before the bike, it is horrible!) For a hilly area the gear ratio is great, if you live in a more flat area be prepared to switch it up which is super easy as the rear hub is shimano (took 8 minutes) The tires that it came with are great for dirt but I am switching over to road style as you loose so much power with them commuting distance. Here is the break down.. I will load video of the bike in action later when I get some good video and am not so damn sore.
- Nice welds
- Low Flex
- It looks better than in the pictures
- Easy to switch rear hub depending on needs
- Works great in bad weather
- Strong wheels and front fork
- Many midgrade components
- Shipping time (yea you said you built it tested it yada yada yada) for $75 bucks + and it being built the disc breaks should have gone on and flowed smooth, instead... spent thirty minutes re calibrating them at my friends shop
- Crap Seat... I feel like I got prison raped
- Cheap break levers (Im replacing with cane creek)
- Doesn't have pannier set up so you have to go with a seat post mounted (can hold up to 25 pds)
- Bar tape and ends are cheap
- Need to take the time to take the china grease out of the bike and put some good grease in the moving parts (even REI does this!!)
- Wheels though strong look cheap
Conclusion: I love this bike, it stands out its strong, it is good in multiple situations. It is not a track bike but it will get you there. Some of the parts that come with it are just crap (seat, break levers). Really should be drilled for pannier set up. Overall a beautiful bike, light weight (dont listen to the reviews you might see on other sites, compared to other steel frames this thing is a good weight) If you commute make sure to amazon some good tires, because the ones it comes with are evil for distance commuting on road

Kind of an oddball question, but would the sliding rear dropouts allow you to use a flipflop hub and run it as a fixed gear, or would the disc brake prevent you from doing so?
You Cannot Flip flop without pulling the back break, but yes, you could with some redneck ingenuity make it a fixed.... Your best option would be build a separate rear wheel that is track if you wish to flip flop

I'm 5, 9 what size would you recommend the 55cm is what I would normally go for but you and other sites only show the 53cm or 57cm ?
Hey Hector,
With such limited info its really hard to pinpoint what size you should ride. 57 cm seems really on the tall side for somebody who is 5'9" but for all I know you could be all legs. Maybe give us a call and talk with one of our bike experts and lets make sure you dont make an $800+ bad investment.

Does this frame set have routing for a front or rear derailer?
Yes, the frame has routing for a front and rear derailleur.

Is this bike compatible with fenders/rack/pannier set up for commuting?

I finally got in to see my dr. at just around 14 weeks. The nurse got my little one's heartbeat and then proceeded to ask if twins ran in the family. I told her that they did for my husband, as he is a twin. She asked how I would feel about having twins. I thought it was strange because she only got one heartbeat. I've never had her (or any other nurse) ask me that before. What do you all think?
Curious about comment made by ob nurse
Wierd. Either she was new to the job... or she knows something you don't know...
It doesnt matter if it runs on the fathers side. Releasing more than one egg is on the mother and I believe the spontaneous splitting of the egg is also not determined by the fathers side. Doesnt mean you wont have twins though.
L: May 2013
M: Dec 2014
Dad's side doesn't have any correlation on whether or not you'll have twins. Identical are spontaneous & fraternal run on mother's side.
Although that is weird she would ask. I would have asked her if she suspected anything.

Yeah, I know about the twin thing. It runs so randomly on my husband's side. The funny thing is that he has twin uncles and also twin nephews.
I did jokingly say something about twins to my dr. but he said that I would be bigger. I feel huge, though! I am scheduled for an u/s this week, so that will give me a good answer. :)

Reviews for Guild Wars 2: Digital Deluxe Edition
For the most part... an ok game.Godzzila | April 28, 2015 | See all Godzzila's reviews »
Guild Wars 2 had a lot of Hype to live up to. Did it do it? Well... kinda... The surely delivers on what it promised at first: Lack of Trinity (No Tank, DPS and Healer), a more emersive story and a new take on questing. Was it enough to make it the groundbreaking game it was supposed to be? No. The Lack of Trinity that everybody was talking about previous to the game being released, instead of making everybody feel useful, it made everybody feel useless. There is nothing unique about you... everything you do, everybody else does. There is no strategy other then full attack and full damage and rush forward spamming 1. The story is really lackluster and even tho might be fun to play the first time, the other times you have to do for all of your characters just make it boring and repetitive. The crafting system is useless other than gathering EXP and getting Legendaries that serve no purpose. The dungeons have been abandoned, the first ones stayed were pretty fine but other then that... no more dungeons being added any time soon. The game that promised SOO much to get rid of grind, just made a gigantic grind fest of grinding for skins instead of actual progress. There is no late game which is a HUUUUUUUUGE issues since the game just gets you to cap level in about 3 days of playtime. And all the efforts by ANet are being placed on the wrong part of the game. They are 100% focused on making this game E-sports viable while mostly negleting other problems with the game. Is this game worth it? I will say give it a pass, it had it hearth in the right place but overall missed the mark.
It was okIversman | Feb. 3, 2014 | See all Iversman's reviews »
I never played GW1 but I jumped into GW2 with high expectations. I didn't really enjoy the game; I found the "heart" quests to be boring, tedious and there wasn't enough of them to move to the next zones - had to find similar level zones in different race areas to get the required levels. I did all the random events etc and still never got enough XP for the zones. It felt unfinished and a drag. I love my MMOs, but I just did not like this one.
Great MMOSkyrao | Aug. 30, 2013 | See all Skyrao's reviews »
Brilliant value for a one time payment. The art and music are just amazing and the world events are really cool if you can find a party of people to take part in them with. If you are looking for an MMO then you have no need to look any further.
You Need To Play This!gamerroverr | Aug. 17, 2013 | See all gamerroverr's reviews »
Before now, I have never really been a player of MMO games. I usually find them complex, tedious and overwhelming due to their 'In at the deep end' nature. However when playing Guild Wars 2 for the first time, I felt the complete opposite. Unlike usual MMOs where character stats matter more than anything, this game feels more skill based and natural. It was without doubt the best MMO on the market as of right now for casual players due to its easy to grasp nature. Most of the game's features are explained and demoed through instances in the game's main story quest, making them easy for the player to understand. On top of this, the game is built so that anyone can play. Despite being an MMO, it is easy for players to play through the game as though it was a single player RPG, as content is naturally scaled to a higher difficulty depending upon the size of the party which the player is in. Also, content also scales to the level of your character, meaning that missions will not become obsolete and stupidly easy should you find yourself surpassing the recommended level, before completing the content. This means that the game plays out much more like a single player RPG in terms of mechanics, compared to other games of the sort on the market. Also, the game features structured and World Vs World PvP. Structures PvP is great because you always play with people of a similar skill level, which means that you are never pitted against elite players who you will struggle to put up a fight against. Also, in World Vs World PvP, thousands of players compete in a team representing their server to build forts, capture enemy forts and rule the battleground. The gameplay is dynamic and challenging, which makes it great for players of all levels and gives it massive end game playability. Graphically, this game is stunning. The world is vibrant and graphically outstanding it the MMO genre, with only TERA being a worth opponent in terms of aesthetics. My only possible complaint is the server capacities. The areas feel very quiet as of late in all non level 80 areas. For this reason it is sometimes hard to feel like you have a group to play with. However this is easily solved by joining one of the many thousands of guilds in the game. Each of which makes the game a more fun and social experience. The extra content in this edition of the game was not great. i didn't feel like the consumables and the extra skill warranted my extra investment into the game. Therefore I would recommend the standard edition of the game as it offers the best value for money.
Well worth the wait and been playing for almost a year nowQuicksilver | June 7, 2013 | See all Quicksilver's reviews »
Guild Wars was fantastic and came into it a few years too late, but got in on the ground with these and it is just as good as the original. Free to play after the original purchase, and no need to buy additional in game items unless you want too. Hours of fun, PVP is great fun too. New playable races, classes and you can just imagine what Arena Net have got planned in the way of expansions to Cantha and Elona. Worth every penny for casual and extreme players
Hundreds of hours of entertainment for a one-off paymentMattiebo | Aug. 29, 2012 | See all Mattiebo's reviews »
The original Guild Wars was a great game, and part of the reason for that was its one-off payment model, meaning that you don't have to pay hundreds of pounds in order to keep your subscription going. Fortunately, Guild Wars 2 also uses this model, which is certainly a plus on top of this incredible game. I have been playing for around 50 hours and am never short of things to do and find new experiences around every corner. GW2 is truly a revolutionary game which breaks away from MMO traditions. For example, the usual MMO quest system involving taking a quest from an NPC, doing it and returning to them is replaced with multiple unique quest types. Firstly is the personal story, your unique storyline determined by various choices you make in the game. Also available are tasks, which are quests with multiple contributing factors set in specific parts of the map, and world events, which bring loads of players together to complete a single goal. Combat has also moved on form simple button presses, as in most cases you'll need to aim your attacks or even place them. There are many underwater parts in Tyria which you can jump into, revealing a new skill set. You can breath unlimitedly under water as every character wears a breather. There are 5 races and 8 classes to choose from, and each playthrough will be drastically different. As I said, I've spent 50+ hours playing as an Asuran Necromancer, and when I'm ready I'll be starting a new character for a completely new experience. I can't recommend this game enough.

Apple is top storytelling brand
19 July 2013
LONDON: Apple has emerged as the UK's top storytelling brand, with a strong narrative that "takes on aspects of religion to some consumers", a new survey has suggested.
, the brand storytelling agency, polled 1,530 UK adults in May 2013, asking them to identify 100 brands against ten storytelling elements, including whether they were memorable, had a unique personality, created their own world and told a good story.
Apple ranked first in seven of the ten categories, only dropping down the order on the 'authentic', 'memorable' and 'engaging' elements.
Ed Woodcock, strategy director and co-founder of Aesop, described Apple as "a heroic brand par excellence" and noted that even those people who did not see it almost in religious terms "are always left asking 'what are they going to do next?'"
While Apple was top, food and soft drinks brands dominated the top ten, with Cadbury in second place, Walkers in third, Coca-Cola in fourth, with Kellogg's and Heinz in seventh and eighth spots respectively.
McDonald's (5th), M&S (6th), Fairy (9th) and IKEA (10th) completed the leading ten storytelling brands.
Utilities were, however, conspicuously failing to tell a story, with Scottish Power, Npower, Thames Water and Scottish & Southern occupying the bottom four spots on the list of 100. British Gas was the top-ranked utility in 55th place overall.
Despite the utilities having a potentially noble mission, an important element of a story, Woodock speculated that "perhaps the story the consumer tends to hear is 'fat cat utility rips off defenceless consumers'. Maybe it's because the press loves to hate utilities – the epitome of the faceless corporation – or maybe because actions can tell a story as loudly as words".
Retail emerged as the category that told the best stories, followed, in order, by food and soft drinks, FMCG, restaurants, telecoms, airlines, alcohol, automotive, financial services and utilities.
Some gender differences were also evident in the results, with women putting Cadbury top of their ranking and Dove at sixth, while men put BMW at fourth and Guinness at fifth in theirs.

"Quinault Lake and Forest" Quinault by Dxenion
Quinault Travel Guide: 23 reviews and 54 photos
I spent a few days wandering around this spectacular temperate rainforest primarily looking for ANY signs of the famous Washington State wildlife. There are many short easy tracks in the lower lake area and things like the 'Worlds Tallest Cedar' to go and find. Noted many signs warning of recent sightings of bears, cougars, deer and elk but only ever saw tracks. There are a couple of wheelchair accessable tracks and photo opportunists are spoilt for choice. There's a nice cafe across the road from Quinault Lodge that has a world map on one wall. Go on in and put a pin on your home town.
- Pros:Scenery, friendly helpful locals.
- Cons:The rain if you're not prepared for it.
- In a nutshell:Take walking shoes, camera and lots of film.
