Times are hard for newly minted vampire Merit. Ever since shapeshifters announced their presence to the world, humans have been rallying against supernaturals - and they're camping outside of Cadogan House with protest signs that could turn to pitchforks at any moment. Inside its doors, things between Merit and her Master, green-eyed heartbreaker Ethan Sullivan, are tense. But then the mayor of Chicago calls Merit and Ethan to a clandestine meeting and tells them about a violent vamp attack that has left three women missing. His message is simple: get your House in order. Or else.
Merit needs to get to the bottom of this crime, but it doesn't help that she can't tell who's on her side. So she secretly calls in a favor from someone who's tall, dark, and part of an underground vamp group that may have some deep intel on the attack. Merit soon finds herself in the heady, dark heart of Chicago's supernatural society - a world full of vampires who seem to be ready to fulfill the protesting human's worst fears, and a place where she'll learn that you can't be a vampire without getting a little blood on your hands.

Say something about yourself!
I have read and listened to a lot of different vampire series and this series is definitely in my top five. The story line is wonderful, the narrator is excellent, and the characters are fun. I love this series and can't wait for the next book to come out in August. I have already listened to this series a few times and will continue to do so. 5 stars.
"I'm not sure what's put me off....."
I like this series and while I'm not crazy about the ending on this one it was still a good book.
I didn't really care for the way it was read. I've listened to quite a bit of Cynthia Holloway on other books and liked her very much so I know it's not her. In this case I just don't think she lines up with what I have in my head where Merit is concerned.
Or it could be I'm taking it out on her because I really didn't like the end of this book.:)
I'll have to think about whether I want the next installment to be words on the page or words in my ears. Something's put me off this book and I just can't put my finger on what it is.
"Disappointing Ending"
Yes, enjoyable story
I will reluctantly listen to the listen to the next in the series - but the ending of this one ended one of the main storylines and you never get the happy ending you assume was meant to come.
When Merit wants to sleep next to Ethan.
Audible Addict!
"Not particularly happy with the ending."
This series has been entertaining. However, the ending of Hard Bitten was disapointing. I will read the next book and hope the writer makes up for it. Narrator is not bad once you get used to her. Going to read/listen to Hunger Games before the last book of this series, well not sure if its the last book but its the last one here on audible.
"Shocking Plot Twist"
I must admit, I have mixed feelings about this book. I really enjoyed it until the very shocking plot twist at the end. Then it was sad and the story ended on a sad note. I reeeally had to think about it before getting the next book in the series. On the one hand, it's nice to be surprised by a plot. On the other hand, arrrgggh! In real life, sometimes bad things happen. But aren't fictional books about escaping from reality or taking a vacation for a bit? Hmmm. This is why I have mixed feelings. I was finally curious enough to get the next one. I'm hoping things will brighten up a bit for Merit (I know, dark vampire books). Hopefully some humor or romance will be included.
Chris Gradel
"Enjoyable, but strange at times."
The fourth book in this series continued the enjoyable tale of Merit the newly made vampire and her adventures in Chicago. Overall, it was still enjoyable with interesting characters a fascinating world where Vampires have revealed their presence to the world.
Throughout the series, I have found the setting strange as many of the vampires live in a dorm-room-esque environment and act in many cases like college students. This odd disparity of 50+ year old vampires acting like 22 year old undergrads was even more apparent at various times throughout this novel than it had been previously. At several points throughout I found myself wondering why these beings acted more like children than worldly adults.
Still, the overall experience was enjoyable, and while I found certain events at the end somewhat unrealistic, the twists and turns of the plot were well done, and not entirely predictable. Overall, if you are looking for a fun Vampire fluff novel, book 4 of the Chicagoland vampires is not a bad choice.
"Ethan - is he or isn't he?"
Ethan plays an interesting role in this book in the series. A lot going on between Merat and her long time girlfriend. I'm hooked on this series and looking forward to more "episodes".
MN Bakery Girl
"Good book, okay performance"
Love the book and the story line.
The performance just fell flat in a lot of places. Emphasis on the wrong words and just a lack of emotion in some parts.
"Love this Series"
I really like all the books in this series, so if you're reading this review, you haven't read them yet! Start at the beginning, they get better as you go!
"Excellent Series"
Really good last book in this series (I count this series as one of my all-time favorite of this genre) except for one really horrible awful thing that happens that was awful and horrible.
Anyway, well-written and very involving (except for that awful horrible thing that I mentioned above).

SANDAG prepping $40M PR push
Regional planning agency wants outside help for communications staff of 10
San Diego County's regional planning agency is lining up its public-relations contracts for the next five years — at an estimated cost of $40 million.
The San Diego Association of Governments is interviewing dozens of PR firms for the on-call marketing and communications work.
SANDAG is responsible for tens of billions in long-range transportation and other planning. The public outreach will bring greater involvement of the public, a "value-added," according to spokesman Colleen Windsor. She downplayed the estimated costs listed on agency documents.
"If you look at, 'Gosh, they are going to spend $40 million,' I would be alarmed as well," Windsor said. "I can tell you as sure as I am breathing air right now we will not spend $40 million. But we had to provide ourselves capacity because this would be a five-year contract for the firms."
SANDAG has a $1.3 billion annual budget that largely comes from state and federal allocations and a voter-approved county sales tax for transportation projects.
The agency employs 10 in-house communications and marketing staffers, six of them on limited terms. The annual communications budget is $1.6 million handling over 60 current projects.
The $40 million in outside PR would come on top of that.
How much should SANDAG spend on outside PR for the next five years?
$60 million 4% (38)
$40 million 7% (58)
$20 million 7% (64)
$5 million 22% (194)
$0 60% (537)
891 total votes.
The agency solicited firms in December and has received 64 applications for project-specific task orders — 44 for contracts up to $900,000, 14 for contracts ranging from $250,000 to $4 million and six for contracts ranging from $1 million to $25 million.
The PR consultants would be asked to develop and implement a variety of marketing, communications, and public outreach efforts relating to highway, rail and transit projects throughout their various design, environmental, and construction phases.
Sara Kent, program director at Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation, was skeptical about the amount of money being proposed.
"To the extent SANDAG uses these outside resources to meaningfully engage the public, obtain feedback and inform their decisions, it could be useful," said Kent, a board member at the Cleveland National Forest Foundation, which is in litigation with the agency over its long-range transit plan. "It seems an exorbitant amount of money compared to their reluctance to commit funds to drastically improve our light rail and bike transportation options — infrastructure San Diegans want."
Marco Gonzalez, cofounder and managing partner of Coast Law Group, agreed that the devil was in the details.
"SANDAG has a long history of steering the public not just to be informed, but to be supportive of their projects and approvals without full information," Gonzalez said.
What else $40 million could do
Cover more than three years of the $12.6 million city budget of Lemon Grove, population 25,000.
Government agencies have increasingly relied on outside public-relations firms to help spread their messages, adding a layer of outreach to their growing ranks of in-house communicators.
U-T Watchdog calculated that the Port of San Diego has spent about $2.3 million on 10 different public-affairs companies over four years — at least one at a rate of $595 per hour.
Transportation projects often carry a PR component, for such purposes as informing the public about road closures. But some of those have been reined in of late.
In December, California Gov. Jerry Brown axed a $10 million PR contract for the Bay Bridge, including production of a commemorative book — saying it appeared excessive.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority in late 2011 dropped plans to re-up its PR contracts amid an uproar over the agency spending $7.2 million a year on them.
At SANDAG, officials expect to include a public relations component — often required by state and local governments — for a wide range of projects and programs, from trolley upgrades to its launch of bus-rapid transit throughout the region and work on Interstate 5 and Interstate 805.

Mims, FL (Florida Today) -- A Mims Elementary school teacher is under investigation after
officials were notified of "inappropriate touching" that went on between
kindergartners in her classroom.
School district officials said the behavior was between several students and went on for months.

night to believe there was criminal behavior by kindergartners,"
district security director Andrea Alford said during this morning's
press conference. "It was more of a situation of young kids acting in a
particular way behaviorally."
Officials met with parents late Wednesday to discuss the situation.
were obviously upset to hear there was something going on," district
spokeswoman Michelle Irwin said. There are 16 students in the classroom.
County Sheriff's officials are investigating whether the inaction of
the teacher - who per district policy should have reported any suspected
abuse - warrants criminal charges.
"We can't release
anything else right now because it is an ongoing investigation," Brevard
County Sheriff's spokeswoman Deputy Maria Fernez said.
Brevard Schools officials said the teacher was not involved in the inappropriate action.

investigation," Irwin said. This was the woman's first year teaching.

information about the alleged inappropriate touching. A letter was sent
home to parents on March 5, and counseling services have been made

We're nearing the second anniversary of SAP's purchase of Virsa and their entry in a serious way to the GRC space. Last week, they made a series of announcements about their GRC products, which now extend beyond industry apps and the SOD/access control arena to other areas of GRC. Business Finance has a new GRC blog and covered SAP's announcements. John Cummings notes that "the sheer scope of GRC offerings from SAP and other enterprise software providers is impressive, and point-solution vendors will need all of their agility to respond."

I just received a Neoair Medium, and I think it should be good to go. I laid on it next to my BA Air Core and they have a similar feel, and similar sound. The Neoair seems much lighter.
I just received a Neoair Medium, and I think it should be good to go. I laid on it next to my BA Air Core and they have a similar feel, and similar sound. The Neoair seems much lighter.
Big NeoAir fan here.
I have to chuckle about the 'noise' issue. I've yet to hunt all day and not totally collapse into my bag at night. Never once can I think of a time when I even thought about pad noise.
My hunting buddy uses the BA insulated core. It seems more stout and inflates quicker, but the weight & bulk are also more substantial.
I use a Pacific Outdoor Equipment Ether Thermo 6. Love it. Used to have a Zlite and well its just sucks. I sleep much more comfortable and warmer with the POE pad.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I used to use the thermarest z-style roll ups (same as folding one basically),and they worked well. Then I upgraded to a Big agnes Ins. aircore and it was way more comfortable.....but it was slippery with my marmot helium sleeping bag on it. i would end up off it during the night, and it was narrow for my body style. Then it sprung a leak and I had no repair kit. I got a thermarest insulated air style just like it but wider, my marmot bag doesnt slip off of it (different coarser outside material). And I now always have the tiny repair kit for a leak.
Just picked up the new Neo Air All Season. R rated at 4.9. Will be spending 9 nights on it so I will let you know how it performs...
I bought the Big Agnes Air core and it is great. not much heavier than the Neoair and about 2/3 less in price. Most seem to want the insulated version, but the uninsulated version is going to insulate just as well. (the best insulation is trapped air). It compacts to a very small package. The only drawback I have found is that it takes alot of breathes to inflate. Big headrush at 11000 ft!! It comes with a patch kit that rides in the stuffsack, in its own compartment, so a pop is fairly easy to fix.
Z-Lite for backpacking when you need bulletproof performance. For warmth and comfort I really like the Eped Downmat 7.
For the 20x48 size,
Thermarest NeoAir weight: 9oz, price:$130
BA Insulated Air Core weight: 16 oz, price:$70
BA Uninsulated Air Core weight 16oz, price: $45
All three are excellent pads at 2.5" thick, very similar in rolled up size, but there is a difference in weight.
Has anyone out there used both of these? I would love to hear your review.
hunting is a multibillion dollar industry, without it wildlife numbers would dwindle
I have both the uninsulated Air Core and the neoair. the neoair is noticeably lighter, more compact, and a lot warmer. I also prefer the horizontal baffles of the neoair to the vertical baffles of the Air Core.
Be warned, the neoair does not come with a repair kit or stuff sack, though!

Hi everyone!
I have been following the ongoing discussions about SOAP with great interest.
In my environment I use Active Directory(AD) as a central authentication and identity backend. It works great with other applications such as our Mambo portal and our e-learning system Moodle. I usually create accounts in AD by scripts but now I am adding functionality to my own Student information system(SIS) to directly create the AD accounts when we add a new student. This way the new student is registered at courses, receiving network logon, is registered in our e-learning system. The only problem left is to create the mail account simultaneously. I am thinking about using a SOAP request to my zimbra test server from my SIS to achieve this. The SIS is written in ASP.NET and probably will be released as open source in the near future (as soon as some bugs are corrected and the database backend is changed to MySQL).
I would like some advice about an easy way to post a SOAP-request to my ZImbraserver. Generating the correct xml-code is no problem, I am just stuck in posting the request??? Thus, how do I send the xml-SOAP to the server??
(Excuse for this dumb question, but I have never been working with SOAP or Web services!)
Best regards
Andreas Göransson

T3 revolutionizes hairstyling with groundbreaking technology and custom crafted tools that create shiny, healthy hair. From high-performance hair dryers that were years in the making to cutting-edge styling irons, T3 tools have become the tools of choice for celebrity hair stylists and beauty addicts worldwide.
The T3 styling collection is a full range of hair dryers, curling irons and flat irons, all designed to make professional styling at home a simple task. All of the products are designed to be as gentle on the hair as possible to limit the damage caused by styling. The T3 range also includes a line of shower products that can remove harmful chemicals from your water, protecting your hair when you shampoo and condition.
Styling tools can be either a blessing or a curse for the men and women who use them, and whether they're a help or a hindrance to the look of your locks greatly depends upon the quality of the tool and the technology used to produce it. T3 hairstyling tools consistently win awards due to their innovative technologies and their features that make them always a delight for the tresses.
One of the biggest innovations found in T3 products is Tourmaline technology. By including this mineral in the design of their thermal styling tools, T3 has introduced ion generation to their products. Ions are charged particles that help to neutralize the electrical charges along the hair strands that can cause frizz and fly-aways. The Tourmaline technology helps to keep the hair more manageable throughout styling and also boosts the shine of the tresses for gorgeous results.
In addition to incorporating Tourmaline technology in many of their products, T3 has engineered their hair care tools to be as simple to use as possible. Hairdryers are light in weight, making them easier to keep in motion while drying, greatly reducing the chances of overheating and damaging the hair. The flat irons are similarly designed to lessen the risks of damage by smoothing the hair with just a single pass. The curling irons and hot rollers in the collection are also created for ease of use while styling. With T3 thermal styling products, fresh from the salon hairstyles are yours for the creating.

Corneal transplant is a surgical procedure used to replace a portion of a diseased or damaged cornea with a healthy one.
The cornea is the clear, outer surface on the front of the eye.
A corneal transplant can correct vision problems caused by infections, injuries, or medical conditions that effect the cornea. It is often recommended for the following:
The procedure is highly successful. Severe complications are rare. If you are planning to have a corneal transplant, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
The operation is most successful for patients who have the following:
It is less successful for those who have corneal infection
and severe injury, like a chemical burn.
Your ophthalmologist may do a physical exam and blood tests.
Before the procedure:
Two types of anesthesia can be used during a corneal transplant:
The procedure will be done under a surgical microscope. The damaged part of the cornea will be cut out. The new cornea will then be placed in the opening. The new cornea will be fastened with very fine stitches. Finally, a patch and shield will be put over the eye.
There is another technique called Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK). DSEK is used for some types of cornea transplants. It may result in shorter recovery time and better vision. With this technique, the doctor removes a much smaller part of the cornea, compared with older procedures.
1-2 hours
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. You may have slight soreness for a few days after the procedure. Ask your doctor about medicine to help with the pain.
You will most likely go home after a few hours in the recovery area.
After you leave the hospital, you should rest for the remainder of the day. When you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
Your eye will be checked several times during the following weeks and months. Stitches are usually left in place for at least several months.
Vision may initially be worse than before your surgery before your eye adjusts to the new cornea. It may take several months for it to improve.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Tyson Griffin (15-6) is holding a fundraiser in advance of his headliner against Efrain Escudero (18-5) at RFA 4.
The 28-year-old UFC vet is holding a raffle at the House of Ryu Athletic Center in Las Vegas to benefit Boys Town of Nevada.
The raffle winner will get two tickets to the Nov. 2 event and an afterparty hosted by Griffin at Planet Hollywood's Gallery Nightclub in Las Vegas.
Resurrection Fighting Alliance 4 takes place at Texas Station Gambling Hall & Hotel in Las Vegas. A seven-fight main card airs live on AXS TV and features Griffin vs. Escudero with Phil Dace vs. Chidi Njokuani serving as the co-main event.
Griffin previously held fundraising events for Boys Town, an organization that provides support services and activities for troubled youth and families.
The veteran fighter said he relates to the struggles of underprivileged youth having briefly been in foster care as a child.
"Sports played a big part in my life and in keeping me out of trouble," Griffin stated. "Many times I had to decide, 'Do I hang out with the bad kids and do a bad thing that might get me in trouble, or do I go home and stay out of trouble so I can compete in the game that week in high school?' So I definitely had to make good decisions to keep myself able to play sports."
Next week, Griffin returns to the cage for the first time in more than a year following a knockout loss to Bart Palaszewski at UFC 137, which led to his release from the UFC. He subsequently signed a multi-fight deal with the upstart RFA.
Griffin manager Tom Call said the fighter has volunteered for some time at Boys Town and remains committed to giving back to the community.
"Tyson has a huge heart both inside and outside of the cage," Call stated.

CAMERON - With nearly 70 percent of its offensive punch lost to graduation, first-year Cameron girls' coach Roger Cain is looking for the folks that are back, as well as a solid group of newcomers, to step up.
''We only have a small group of letterwinners back from last year and very little scoring coming back,'' Cain said heading into tonight's opener at Hundred. ''We'll evaluate them and see where we stand.
''A lot of the younger players are going to have to step and play because that's the hand we've been dealt.''
Cain is somewhat as green as his roster. The 1998 Cameron graduate and former three-star standout takes over the girls' program from Joe Pettit after a stint on Chad Clutter's boys' staff. He didn't assume the position until about the first of August and really didn't have an opportunity to see the girls on the court until practices started.
That's where assistant coach Mark Witzberger has been so instrumental. Witzberger, who also coaches softball, served as the interim head coach a few years ago after Pettit was injured in a serious automobile accident.
But Witzberger didn't tell Cain everything he knew about the girls. He wanted Cain to find out first-hand and view things with an open mind.
''He backed off on purpose to let me observe and evaluate the girls on my own,'' Cain said.
The Dragons have five letterwinners back - Neely Benline, Leah Stern, Rena Reid, Kristen McDowell and Courtney Gouldsberry. The quad averaged a total of 12.5 points per game last year.
''We'll have a lot of competition across the board,'' Cain said. ''There are a lot of players that will have an opportunity to show what they can do.''
Neely, a 6-foot-1 senior is the centerpiece of the squad and the team's tallest player. She averaged 6.6 ppg last winter.
''We're looking for a lot from her ... leadership, for sure,'' Cain said. ''But, on the floor, we're looking for her to help us score.''
McDowell, is a 5-3 junior who will play guard, while Gouldsberry is a 5-3 guard.
Stern (5-6) and Reid (5-2) are also guards. In fact, the team is made up of predominantly guards, and the Dragons' offense will likely reflect that.
''We'll have a lot of options,'' Cain said. ''There are a lot of things we'll try to do. But we'll be small.''
Darby Brown (5-9) is the team's other senior.
Other juniors in the mix are Lexi Aston (5-7), Breagh Merrinar (5-5) and Emily Titus (5-6).
Sam White (5-7), Linda Hall (5-8), Laci Bonnette (5-6) and Shelby Brown (5-5) are the other sophomores.
Freshmen counted on to make an impact are Marissa Meintel (5-8), Jenna Aston (5-8) and Grace Fitzgerald (5-0).
Cain is also assisted by former Cameron and West Liberty standout Amanda Allison.

Miller Earns Second All-Region Selection
AMES, Iowa – Cyclone senior Erica Miller has been selected to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Div. I All-Midwest Region Second Team, the NFCA announced Thursday. Miller was also chosen to the second team in 2012.
In her final season at Iowa State, Miller set a single season record for RBI, driving in 52 runs on the season and tied teammate Tori Torrescano for the most walks, 29, in a season. Miller's RBI total for the season drove her to the top of the Iowa State career record book with 149 runs driven in since her freshman season. The Pomona, Calif. native finished her career ranked among the top-10 players all-time for average, doubles, home runs, hits and runs scored.
In Iowa State's March 2 win over St. John's Miller went 3-for-3 while driving in a record seven runs. In her career, Miller tallied 10 games with at least three hits and drove in three or more runs on 15 occasions. Her 15-game hitting streak in 2012 is one of only two such streaks in Iowa State history.
For the 2013 season, Miller hit .353 with 19 extra-base hits, including 12 doubles and six home runs. Her .349 average in Big 12 play along with 13 RBI and four doubles helped Miller to her second-straight All-Big 12 First Team selection and third overall honor. Erica Martinez was the last Cyclone to earn two first team berths, doing so from 2001-03.
Overall, 22 Big 12 softball players were selected to all-region teams by NFCA member coaches from around the country. All the honorees and all conference pitcher and player of the year winners are eligible for selection to one of three 2013 NFCA Division I All-American teams to be announced at 4 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, May 29.

HI Folks,
I'm moving... I selected a victim account and I moved my "sent mail" with Evolution, on a Fedora 17 notebook. I established both the old and the new accounts as IMAP and I told Evolution to move old/sent mail to new/sent mail and everything work exactly as you's expect and I was quite happy. Then I went to Google Chrome to admire my work and I discovered that, although the Evolution interface preserved the original send times, the Google Chrome interface, displays the time not as send time, but as move time!
So, there are two approaches... One is to change the browser interface to select the correct date, and the other is to modify whatever date the browser interface is using and update it to the sent date. I suspect the both of these problem are similar and depend on being able to parse the message and tease out the sent date.
My question is: Where is the date field that the browser is displaying as the sent date? MySQL database? XML? LDAP?
Thanks for the help,

LANSING - Mayor Virg Bernero, real estate developers, and members of the Sault Tribe will hold a press conference in Lansing tomorrow concerning plans for building a casino in downtown Lansing. The press release does not specify what development will be announced but they are calling it a "step forward." The mayor's office had said earlier this year they have a self-imposed deadline of November 1 for the purchase of the land for the proposed casino by the tribe.
We will have a crew the Thursday press conference and bring you the latest developments at wilx.com and on our News 10 newscast that evening.

Cool concept and shape to the place.
I like all of the textures individually, but all together they're overloading my eyes a bit. Maybe tone down the texture of the dirt a bit to break them up a little?
This is an underground Kobold hideout I am working on. The area is under the ruins of an old outpost. The caverns were added by the kobold that took over the ruins. I am planning on adding some traps but i am not sure about adding doors. Some of those paths will be true safe paths others will be trapped extensively.
I am also going to have a very young green dragon living in the main cavern that they worship. The dragon uses the pool as an exit into an under ground stream that comes out a couple hundred yards away.
Cool concept and shape to the place.

You are right I really have to wait until I get home to post my maps because again their is a crappy monitor at work that really alters the way it really looks on it.
Thanks for the compliment btw
I think you might need a grid but I'm no VTT user type guy. I don't see anything that I'd change or add, shrug.

First lovely work.
Some thoughts for your consideration -
1) The upper right doorway has a very thin section of wall blocking it.
2) The cave section/wall section boundaries - perhaps add more mud spilling in and stones spilling out?
3) The walls seem to rise equally high above the floor on one side and the rock matrix on the other. Perhaps making the rock matrix seem closer in height to the wall would be desirable by using different shading for the wall/floor boundary vs. the wall/rock matrix boundary.

Here are a few changes to the map plus the above ground entrance.
1) The upper right doorway has a very thin section of wall blocking it.
This is intended to be a secret entrance i am still trying to figure out how to make it right.
So their is still work to be done but tell me what you think.
(I know i still need a grid on it and I keep forgetting to add one.)
I do not mean to just bump this but any comments on the above ground ruins??? Any one???
hmm theres something about the shading on the stairs in the top one which looks off. I couldn't tell at first which direction they were going. The second one from the bottom shouldn't be lighter than the two it is between.
Also, why do the kobolds need four tunnels going to the same place? I would have thought 2 would be enough?

Questions to Ask When Interviewing a Health Care Provider
Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is a form of ultrasound testing used during labor to determine the fetal heart rate and the strength of your contractions. Two plastic belts, attached to a machine that prints out results, are strapped around your belly. EFM limits your ability to move around,and it has not been shown to improve birth outcomes.EFM increases your chances of an "assisted"vaginal birth (with vacuum extraction or forceps) and cesarean section.
Episiotomy is a cut made in the vagina to enlarge it for birth.
Forceps are large spoon-shaped metal tongs that are inserted into the vagina and fit around the baby's head to help guide the baby out of the birth canal during birth
Vacuum extractor is a tool with a rubber or plastic cup that is inserted into the vagina and attached to the baby's head to help guide the baby out of the birth canal.
Labor induction is a means of artificially starting labor, usually by giving the mother drugs or by breaking the bag of water.
Cesarean section (or c-section ) is an operation by which a fetus is taken from the uterus by cutting through the walls of the abdomen and uterus.

OMG When I Got This In The Mail I Never Knew It Was That Big I'm Like This Is A Lido Mini Purse But Still Cute And I Love That It Has Neutral (leather) Around It BC You Can Wear It Wit Almost Everything
Great for a Night Out!
This pouch is soft, very roomy and of course, super adorable! ^_____^ If you like to go clubbing, this would be a perfect mini bag to carry all your necessary essentials in! I am *totes* in love with this collaboration! C: It is by far the best one yet! <3
Love my bag but thought it was a little bigger. I'm glad I got one.
It's the size of a small purse.
I got this intending to use it as a large pencil case for a graphing calculator and pencils but it's still too big. I'm thinking of adding a longer strap to use this as a small crossbody, yes it's that big.
Great character pouch
Very nice cute character pouch with hot pink lining. You can use this as a small purse this fits lots of stuff. I have a large handheld hot pick mace gun in it with plenty of room extra mace bottle, wallet, tissue, gum, clinque compact, lipstick and small Samsung sunburst phone. Has a large interior pouch pocket. This is nice if you want to put it in a backpack, large cross body bag or if you want to carry lighter items and use it as a small purse. Looks small but holds allot of stuff. makes a great gift.
Cute but not the best quality
Great size, awesome print, but quality not as good as sanrio tokidoki items i've gotten in the past.

LONDON (AP) - Chinese favorites Qiu Bo and Lin Yue led the 10-meter platform diving semifinals Saturday, while defending champion Matthew Mitcham of Australia failed to qualify.
The reigning world champion, Qiu advanced with 563.55 points. Lin, who won gold with Huo Liang in 10-meter synchronized at the 2008 Beijing Games, was next with 541.80 points.
David Boudia of the United States qualified third with 531.15 points as he looks to add to his bronze in synchro with Nicholas McCrory. Tom Daley of Britain, the 2009 world champion, placed fourth and drew loud cheers. McCrory also advanced in seventh.
The top 12 finishers advance to the final later Saturday.
Mitcham, who has struggled with injuries, just missed out in 13th.

After reading an article recently on the homeless pets abandoned from foreclosed properties, I felt compelled to write this story.
As a means of additional income, I now clean foreclosed properties. Many of these homes are completely disgraceful and thoroughly filthy. Others are nearly immaculate, showing a true pride of ownership.
Desperation, hopelessness and sadness fill my mind as I walk into many of these homes, as I try to get a feel for those who were forced to vacate. Regardless of the situation, hard times have fallen on many as the number of foreclosed properties continues to flood the real estate market.
Often properties are filled with items the previous owner chose not to take, or were unable to move, perhaps not even knowing where they were going to live.
The first time I found food left in kitchen cupboards, I wondered, "Do you not need to eat wherever you are going?" Those folks must be in true dire straits.
I have discovered many unusual items, but one of the most intriguing was at a property in Delta County, far out in the dry, adobe countryside.
It was one of those blustery late spring days in May, when the wind was blowing so hard you could not see 100 feet in any direction. I entered the property to survey the damage. Once inside the house, a faint, quiet "meow" caught my attention.
As I meandered through the house determining the extent of my work for the day, gently calling "Kitty, kitty," the cries became louder. I deduced he had to be somewhere in the garage due to the volume of the howls, but there was still no sign of the cat.
Then I noticed a board covering an opening to the crawlspace under the house. It was screwed on the wall, undoubtedly as a safety precaution. Once I dismantled the temporary covering, this scrawny, skinny, black cat emerged from the opening. He was slightly hesitant, but yet relieved to have been rescued.
He slowly approached me, after determining I meant no harm, and began rubbing against my leg. I found a Tupperware lid that sufficed as a bowl for water and he drank and drank. I had a piece of cold pizza and a can of Vienna sausages in my lunch box that he consumed in between "meows" of sincere gratitude.
Undoubtedly he had survived on mice and bugs, but considering there was no water on the property, I don't know when he last had a drink. I'm not sure how long he was under that house but by the looks of him, it had been quite some time. His coat was brittle and full of dandruff, undoubtedly compromised from his insufficient diet.
As the winds continued to rage, I went about my day's work cleaning, with my new friend hesitant to let me out of his sight. He continually meowed as he explained his predicament to me in cat language. I understood his desperation and loneliness. I reciprocated by naming him Tom and we spent the day communicating in our own way.
I reassured him all day that I would not leave him, but as I began packing my supplies and finishing up in the garage, I noticed he had curled up on a shelf and was quietly watching me. I know he thought I would leave him. The sadness in his eyes as I began closing up the house was overwhelmingly sorrowful.
When I had finished, I loaded him in the truck and listened to his objective yowl for several miles until he quietly found a spot under my seat to hide from the motion of the vehicle.
As I drove, I was thinking I have no business taking this cat home. I have other animals. My very unsocial feline companion will be extremely perturbed. Then there is the terrier. How will he take to the new addition? I am renting. What will the landlord say? Of all the items left in this house, what am I to do with this cat?
All of a sudden, a loud voice in my head exclaimed, "This is not about you. The cat needs a home!"
I took Tom to the veterinarian prior to exposing him to my other household pets. She estimated his age at 8 to 9 years old. He was severely malnourished but otherwise seemed quite healthy.
Months later, he is now a part of our family.
My very unsocial female cat continues to spar with Tom on occasion, but has reluctantly accepted his presence and will actually share the bed with him. The dog, being raised with a cat, has pretty much left Tom alone, especially since Tom simply gives him that "don't mess with me" look.
Tom is a pretty complacent fellow, as long as the food dish is full. He has filled out beautifully and his coat is now silky and shiny. He often will sit and stare with a forlorn look and I am curious as to his thoughts.
My heart goes out to the folks who were forced to vacate that house. Whether by choice or by accident, they also lost their cat. I also believe that they would not intentionally leave behind such a special guy unless circumstances were beyond their control.
For those of you facing foreclosure situations, I can only hope that you will not abandon your pet, as they are a part of your family. There are alternatives: friends, family, shelters, even an ad in the newspaper "Free to a good home."
Write me, I will help. Please don't leave a helpless animal to survive on its own. They deserve better.

Junior Bassmasters to compete in State Championship
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 1:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 1:20 p.m.
A group of youngsters will travel south to Lake Okeechobee this weekend for a state bass fishing tournament with hopes of advancing to regionals.
The group from the Junior Bassmasters of Marion County will face off against others from around the state in the Florida B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Junior State Championship on Saturday and Sunday.
Two age groups — 11 to 14 and 15 to 18 — will launch with an adult boater from the Marion County Bassmasters from Roland Martin's Marina in Clewiston and fish until 2 p.m. each day. There will be a five-fish limit with a 12 inch minimum.
The winner from each age division will advance to regionals. Last year, local fisherman Rayfe Marquis won the younger division at the state level. He'll return this year to defend his title as a 12 year old.
Locals joining Marquis in the 11- to 14-year-old class are Zachary Thompson, Alex Cook, Brett Pearson and Bo Warren.
In the 15- to 18-year-old division from the Marion County club are Ryan Crosby, Samuel Wheeler, Kyle Tomlinson, Beau Clymer, Austin Thompson, Lauren Warren, Dustin Mullins, Brennan Rogers and Jacob Lawson.
Meanwhile, the Marion County Bassmasters next tournament is July 13 on Johns Lake, which is just east of Clermont off State Road 50. The next meeting will be July 5 at Gander Mountain. In order to participate in the upcoming tournament you must either register at the club meeting or call one of the club officers before 9 p.m. on the day of the meeting. Call 572-3148 for more information.
ELITE TOURNAMENT: An open tournament at Rodman Reservoir is scheduled for Saturday. The event, which will be hosted by Elite Bait & Tackle, is from daylight until 3 p.m. Elite owner Terry Roberts reports that an angler reeled in a 10-pounder earlier this week and expects a few 8-pound bass to be caught Saturday.
To register, visit the shop at 3535 S.E. Maricamp Road, Suite 1010, in the Winn-Dixie plaza at 36th Avenue or call 857-6838 for more information. You can also register at the ramp Saturday morning.

The annual Phillips County Art Show and Sale will be held Thursday-Sunday, March 26-29 at the Holyoke High School Commons, 545 East Hale Street. The show will feature the work of regional artists of Colorado and Nebraska.
This is the seventh year the art show is being sponsored by the Phillips County Arts Council. Area artists, from beginners to professionals, and students are encouraged to enter their work.
Artwork can be entered on Thursday, March 26 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Accepted media will be acrylic, china painting, creative stitchery, collage, colored pencil, drawings, fibers, hand-thrown ceramics and pottery, jewelry, mixed media, oil, pastels, pen and ink, pencil, photography-traditional, photography-enhanced, scratch art, sculpture, stained glass, tole painting, watercolor, weaving and wood carving.

PCAC is pleased to announce this year's entries will be judged by Norma Stevens of McCook, Neb. Her preferred medium for her art expression is watercolor, for its brilliance, clarity and transparency. Her preferred subject matter are landscapes, florals, still life and the unexpected opportunities.
Stevens participates in art festivals and exhibits and, most recently, had paintings accepted into the Great 8 State Watercolor Exhibition in Wichita, Kan. and the upcoming Wings over the Platte at the Stuhr Museum in Grand Island, Neb.

Joyce May of Sterling will judge this year's student entries. She studied ceramics at Northeastern Junior College under Joe Shaw in the late 1970's and began teaching at NJC in 1985. She remains head of the ceramics program there.
Her work is a never-ending evolving process. She prefers raku but she works with horsehair, naked raku and saggar firing techniques as well as functional stoneware pieces. Her other media interests include printmaking and stained glass studying under Larry Prestwich, David Roholt and Peter Youngers.
May has won numerous regional and several national awards. Her work is represented in private collections across the U.S., Europe and Japan. She currently exhibits in the Fiberspace Gallery in Sterling. She will be offering a student critique on Friday at 1:30 p.m.
For the first time, the art show will conclude on Sunday, March 29 with a painting demonstration by area artists from 1-3 p.m. Local artists will create original works in the media of their choice while you watch. This event is a unique opportunity to observe the process by which art pieces are produced.

Dateline: Austin, TX. There is snow on the ground, but that doesn't mean we don't want to show you the latest trailer.
This is the third in our series and focuses on Tivoli Storage Productivity Center (TPC). Don't forget that two and one are also on the blog.
Plan your time in the Expo Center accordingly and we hope to see you at Pulse...hopefully without the snow.
Also, Amalore Jude wrote a great blog about the Storwize V7000 support and we talked about the XIV support in the November Tivoli Beat. Both are worth reading for additional information.

Been using Zimbra (hosted thru 01.com) for several months; principally use Zimbra Desktop interface. Couple annoying things in adding contacts in address book:
1) "default" entry for "Address book" is "Conflicts". I have no such address book, and if I forget to change that field, can't find the contact
2) I like to "tag" all contacts, but haven't figured out how to do so until after the contact has been created and saved. What am I missing?

Zimbra 5.0rc2
Within zimbra webmail, when a meeting notice is accepted or denied, an email is automatically sent to the meeting organizer. I thought in previous versions that you were prompted to:
Edit the response before sending
Send the response now
Don't send a response
or something similar to the choices above. Any ideas on how to get these options back?

That looks like a sweet setup! Thank you for all your help. I think I'm gonna try that setup out and see if it works with my Canon. I'll let you know how it goes once I get it.
Glad I could help. The only hiccup I can see is if the outside diameter of the extending part of the Canon's lense is too big to fit in the 37mm adapter tube. If it fits, it looks like a great setup as well. If not, I am sure you can find a way to get an adapter to work.
Ya it should work though. Your camera's lens looks bigger than the camera I have, so I don't think there will be any problems with it.
sorry to bring up an old thread. bitterrootbulls - what do you get with the $70 Tines Up adapter - just the plastic ring bottom left in your first photo?
Yes you get the adapter marked Tines Up in the first photo. It is not plastic, however, it is anodized aluminum.
thanks. do you think this would be worth doing on a nikon ed-50 (50mm) spotting scope or if I'd need a bigger objective lens? I have the 13-30x/20-45x/25-56x MC zoom eyepiece, that has the flip down rubber eye cup, so I don't even know if it would work. I know they make separate eyepieces for digi-scoping.
I wish I would have noticed this thread earlier. I have a Canon S95 that I have been trying to figure out a good system for without buying a whole point and shoot kit from Tines Up. Do you think the Zeikos adapter will work with my Canon? I live the simple set up you got there.
Shoot them an email and see if they can do it. A 50mm spotter will work, you just end up with slower shutter speeds and other light-related challenges.

Shedhead, If the outside diameter of the barrel of the lens will fit inside the 37mm threads it should work well.

The helmsman (or helm officer) was the Starfleet crewperson who operated the helm console on 23rd century Federation starships.
The helmsman of those vessels worked in concert with the navigator, who plotted the ship's course. On the USS Enterprise, the helmsman controlled both the speed and attitude of the ship, as well as the ship's weapon and shield systems. Other spacefaring services use the term helmsman also, the 22nd century Earth Starfleet for one, but it isn't clear if there is the same relationship with a navigation console, since vessels like Enterprise NX-01 had a single helm station.
By the 24th century, the helm and navigation stations became combined as the flight controller position. Also, control of weapons and defenses is usually handled by the tactical station or the operations officer, rather than their 23rd century equivalents, under the control of the helmsman.

|Lost items returned, local resident inspired
|Written by Jes-C Brandt
Nobody likes to hear bad news, but sometimes the good news that comes with it can be a huge inspiration.
Dorothy Ortner recently ran into her own share of bad news, but fortunately it was coupled with not only good, but with great news.
On a trip to the Front Range, Ortner experienced a misfortune many can relate to; she lost a holder containing her picture ID, two insurance cards and some emergency cash. Anyone who has misplaced a wallet or pocketbook knows the frustration Ortner must have felt.
Accompanying the irritation is often a very small hope that the belongings might be returned. Dorothy noted she strongly hoped for the return of her belongings, yet prepared herself for the worst. She began taking all the necessary measures to prevent an identity theft.
Despite what may have been expected, when Ortner returned home, waiting for her was a post-card from the Denver Police Department. The postcard informed her that her possessions had been turned in and she could come claim them.
News stories of crime and theft have taught many to expect the worst in these situations. Even Ortner thought certainly the money wouldn't still be there, it must have been stolen. Encouragement can, however, be found in the fact that Ortner's story has a different ending.
Not only were her ID and insurance cards returned, but the cash was included. "It would have been so easy for the person to say 'this is my reward' and take the money, but they didn't," noted an astounded Ortner.
In Ortner's opinion, she could not keep this experience to herself. She believes the story could have a widespread impact even though it was a tiny incident. To her, this experience serves as a reminder that "people are basically good, and it is the work of each of us to continue to bring that good out in each other."
She doesn't know what the person had to go through to return her belongings, but she does know those who helped her with the fraud alert process put in a lot of time and effort, and she is thankful for both.
Ortner describes this simple little incident as a chance to encourage people to do what they are capable of doing, to treat others fairly and justly, to be honest and to pay it forward.

An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) — a pager-sized device that's implanted into your chest — may reduce your risk of dying if the lower chambers of your heart (ventricles) go into a dangerous rhythm and stop beating effectively (cardiac arrest). You may need an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator if you have a dangerously fast heartbeat (ventricular tachycardia) or a chaotic heartbeat that makes it so your heart can't supply enough blood to the rest of your body (ventricular fibrillation).
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators work by detecting and stopping abnormal heartbeats (arrhythmias). An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator continuously monitors your heartbeat and delivers extra beats or electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm when necessary. An ICD differs from a pacemaker — another implantable device sometimes used to help control abnormal heart rhythms.

Substitute apricot preserves for the orange marmalade.
Not only does the orange add great flavor and color to this great-tasting salad, but it's also an excellent source of vitamin C. And as a bonus, the spinach is rich in vitamin A.

Maybe I did something wrong...but I patted the chicken dry with paper towels then coated it with the marmalade and rolled it in bread crumbs. When we went to eat it the marmalade tasted burnt and just nasty. I like just coating the chicken in panko and parm cheese and dipping it in duck sauce...way better!
this is one of my favorite go to for when we have first time dinner guests - especially if they have kids. the kids love it and the presentation is excellent. The chicken is never dry!
This was a good one. I had no problem getting the jam to stick on the chicken. I added some garilc on top of the chicken before baking. Also you may want to watch it while baking, My oven baked it faster than what was called for.

I've been hearing about the Starbucks "secret menu" for years, but have always been afraid to try to order one of these drinks.......because, with my luck, I would get the one person who had NO clue what I was talking about. Haha! I might have to break down and order one of these new ones, though........that Cookie Dough Frappucino sounds AMAZING!
Cookie Dough Frappuccino
This drink boasts some pretty crazy flavors. Start with a Chai Creme Frappuccino with soy milk. Add two pumps of cinnamon dolce syrup for a Tall, two-and-a-half for a Grande, and three for a Venti. Blend in java chips and whipped cream. Top with chocolate whipped cream (instead of original) and drizzle with mocha syrup.
Fall-in-a-Cup Latte
If you're getting sick of the regular Pumpkin Spice Latte then this recipe is killer. It requires ordering a Pumpkin Spice Latte and adding caramel syrup (one-and-a-half pumps for Tall, two pumps for Grande, two-and-a-half pumps for Venti, three pumps for a cold Venti). Then, add Chai Syrup (one pump for Tall, one-and-a-half pumps for Grande, two pumps for Venti, and two-and-a-half for a cold Venti). Finally, top with whipped cream, pumpkin powder, and caramel drizzle.
Cake Batter Frappuccino
This delicious drink uses a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino base and adds one pump of almond syrup for a Tall and two for a Venti.
