Very classy looking. It turned out to be the perfect choice on my new fir floor. I was surprised at the quality, given the price is very reasonable. I am glad that I did not pay 3 times the price for a comparable product from an alternate retailer.

This review is from:
In Quisling's Shadow: The Memoirs of Vidkun Quisling's First Wife, Alexandra (Paperback)
This is one of the best and certainly most fascinating biographies I have read in a long time Alexandra's story is at once touching, bizarre and almost incredible. It centres on the years of her life spent with Quisling (1921 -1924). It is her story so it does not deal at all with Quisling as a Nazi collaborator and traitor to his fellow Norwegians. Quisling is painted as a complex character - at times one sees him as a monster; at others a weak but well-intentioned man under tremendous strain. I felt some frustration that Alexandra tolerated him and loved him to the extent she did - but I had to remind myself of her utterly dependent position which would have applied to most women of her era. Although the biography is highly personal, I learned a lot of the political background in which it takes place - the famine in the Ukraine, the plight of displaced white Russians, the roles of countries such as the US and Norway in providing aid to the Ukraine and the development of Soviet espionage. The book throws new light on the menage à trois created when Quisling brings in Maria as his so-called second wife, suggesting there may have been a political aspect to this bizarre situation. As the book has 3 authors, Alexandra herself, her final husband, George Yourieff and her narrator, Kirsten Seaver, I was never sure to what extent Alexandra's memoirs were in her own words and the extent they had been edited. I thought this should have been explained in the preface, All in all a good read that left me thirsting for a biography of Quisling - I haven't found one yet that isn't out of print.
The Guardians

Disappointing and shallow
March 21 2011
This review is from:
The Guardians (Hardcover)
I became an instant fan of Andrew Pyper after reading Lost Girls, so I could not wait to read the Guardians soon after its release. The story line sounded intriguing and I'm a sucker for a good plot with supernatural overtones. I could not have been more disappointed. This latest novel has none of the magic, depth and subtle spookiness of Lost Girls. The supernatural element is blatent and unbelievable. The characters are never fully developed so it is difficult to get inside their heads. The writing style is for the most part undistinguished and ordinary. I found that the crucial events of the novel happened too suddenly with insufficient build-up. I can only think that the author was in a hurry to pump this novel out without bothering to weave a story and draw the reader in. I know that Mr Pyper has talent but it was rarely apparent to me in the Guardians. I felt like I was reading a trashy second-rate novel written for mass consumption. On the positive side, he did an adequate job in painting a picture of small town life from the viewpoint of adolescent boys and later middle aged adults returning home and in creating 1980s nostalgia. He also has a hip sometimes quirky sense of humour, which helped add levity to a rather absurd story. Maybe it will make a better film than it does a novel.
Bonnie Prince Charlie

Impeccably researched and psychologically probing
Feb. 21 2011
This review is from:
Bonnie Prince Charlie (Paperback)
Despite the almost 600 pages of narrative, there is never a dull moment in the life of one of history's most remarkable, complex and tragic characters. Charles Edward Stuart was born into a life full of hope and promise but ultimately destoyed by a combination of bad luck, betrayal and his own folly. McGlynn's portrayal avoids romanticizing Charles Edward's life in the manner of some previous biographies but attempts to analyze the psychological reasons behind the man's behavior. His view of Charles Edward is balanced - at times critical and at times supportive but always empathetic. The historical background and the facts have been impeccably researched including a wealth of correspondance between Charles and his father James as as well as many of the other characters that feature in Charles' life. The events of Charles' life are in themselves amazing from his difficult relationship with an unyielding and strict father and forced separation from his mother and her untimely self-destruction. Charles Edward's struggle to regain his sovereignty leading up to the horrific battle of Colloden and Charles Edward's subsequent 5 month flight through the Scottish highlands pursued by the Hanoverian guards to the insult of his arrest and imprisonment in a French jail. McGlynn brings this life to us in technicolor always interpreting events within their historical context, allowing the reader to understand their importance. Never does the history become dull. If the turn of events had been just a little bit different at critical points, had Charles Edward received just a little more support when he needed it, and had he not been his own worst enemy when support was offered, the course of history might have been very different. McGlynn carries the reader through Charles' glory days and his later descent into self-destructive debauchery and alcoholism while probing the weaknesses in Charles' psyche as well as the key events leading to his decline. While McGlynn's analysis of most of Charles' relationships was deep and thorough, I found it lacking in regards to Clementina Walkinshaw, Charles' long-time mistress during some of his darkest years. I felt that Clementina was sold short and we never really understood the relationship nor her character and the role she played in his life. Other than this one shortcoming, I loved this biography and would recommend it to anyone. You don't need to be a history buff to enjoy it as the character of Charles Edward Stuart is always at centre stage and both his character and his life events are undeniably fascinating.
Oster 1.7 Litre Kettle, Stainless Steel

Solid, reliable and good value
Feb. 21 2011
This review is from:
Oster 1.7 Litre Kettle, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
As I have owned the kettle for less than two months I can't speak to its longevity but by all indications it is solid and reliable. It is quick to boil and very quiet. I like the feature of being able to wrap the excess cord under the base where it is hidden. The design is somewhat clunky and it resembles an oversized camp coffee pot in appearance, but for functionality and value in a stainless steel kettle, I don't believe there is a better choice on the market.

Wrapping paper in the gutter
Moving slowly as the wind on the sea
(Faces calling, waves moving)
In your picture on a wall
Of a house of old times
(Can you hear me)
Can you hear me
(Can you hear me)
Wandering sadly
In the city, feeling pretty
Down and out and making love to you on the shore
(Ruined buildings, faces empty)
In the picture as
I gaze ahead and don't see
(That they're calling)
That they're calling
(That they're calling)
Wandering sadly
Shattered windows
Stairs to nowhere
(Hear you calling)
Hear you calling
(Hear you calling)
As I wander so sadly
Wish I knew what you'd done to me
Turned me on to things I never knew
It's all broken, weeds are growing
Wish I was going home to
The house by the shore
(Where you loved me)
Where you loved me
(Where you loved me)
Loved me so sadly
Someday I'll get back, somehow I'll do it
I'll arrive there and you'll be there to meet me
(Walk together, tread the weeds down)
Kiss again in the picture on the wall
(Where I loved you)
In the old house
(Where I loved you)
Loved you so well

BEIJING – A spokesman for the Chinese Railways Ministry says the nation's high-speed rail technologies are far superior to those used by Japan's bullet trains.
The remarks Thursday by Wang Yongping in an interview with the Xinhua news agency came after Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. threatened to take action if China files for patents on high-speed trains that use Japanese technology in violation of contracts signed between Japan and China.
The technologies for which patent applications have reportedly been filed in at least five countries and regions are used in China's high-speed rail link between Beijing and Shanghai, which was inaugurated on June 30.
"The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway and Japan's shinkansen line cannot be mentioned in the same breath, as many of the technological indicators used by China's high-speed railways are far better than those used in Japan's shinkansen," Wang said, rejecting the Japanese accusation of pirating.
"We Chinese will not claim technologies owned by others as our own. And we will never give up our rights to file patent applications for innovations developed through our efforts and wisdom because of others' irresponsible remarks," he said.
The China-developed CRH380A series trains, running on the 1,318-km Beijing-Shanghai line, are different from the CRH2 trains that were jointly manufactured by China and Japan based on the imported technologies from Kawasaki Heavy Industries, the Xinhua report said, citing the Railways Ministry.
It said many of the technological indicators of the CRH380A trains are better, with their power raised to 9,600 kw from 4,800 for the CRH2 trains, their speed increased to 380 kph from 200 to 250 kph, and a lower chance of derailment.
Wang said there is no doubt that the intellectual property rights of the technology used in China's high-speed railways belong to it.
Giving an example, he cited the bogie, or the driving wheel technology, noting the one used in China's high-speed railways differs from that of other countries and is now under China's national patent protection.
According to the ministry, more than 1,900 technologies used in China's high-speed railway have been granted national patents while the applications of 481 other technologies are under review.
The interview comes after Foreign Minister Takeaki Matsumoto told his Chinese counterpart, Yang Jiechi, in talks Monday in Beijing that China's move to take out international patents for high-speed railway technologies has "drawn a great deal of attention" in Japan and is being "closely monitored," according to Japanese officials.
They said Yang maintained that China acquired the technologies "through its own innovations."

by W. H. Auden
YESTERDAY all the past. The language of size
Spreading to China along the trade-routes; the diffusion
Of the counting-frame and the cromlech;
Yesterday the shadow-reckoning in the sunny climates.
Yesterday the assessment of insurance by cards,
The divination of water; yesterday the invention
Of cart-wheels and clocks, the taming of
Horses; yesterday the bustling world of navigators.
Yesterday the abolition of fairies and giants;
The fortress like a motionless eagle eyeing the valley,
The chapel built in the forest;
Yesterday the carving of angels and of frightening gargoyles
The trial of heretics among the columns of stone;
Yesterday the theological feuds in the taverns
And the miraculous cure at the fountain;
Yesterday the Sabbath of Witches. But to-day the struggle.
Yesterday the installation of dynamos and turbines;
The construction of railways in the colonial desert;
Yesterday the classic lecture
On the origin of Mankind. But to-day the struggle.
Yesterday the belief in the absolute value of Greek;
The fall of the curtain upon the death of a hero;
Yesterday the prayer to the sunset,
And the adoration of madmen. But to-day the struggle.

"Adana" Top 5 Page for this destination Adana Ili by smeagol13
Adana Ili Travel Guide: 124 reviews and 324 photos
Actually, Adana is the city in which I was born and grown up. Despite that I live in Ankara now, Adana is more familiar to me.
The history of Adana goes back to the era of The Hittites; and a visitor can track the marks of many civilizations, including the Hittites, The Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Seljukides and Ottomans; in both the archeological museum and field observations.
It may have many attractions though, for me; Adana is not a town to see, unless it is on your way to somewhere else.

you talented! good photos and good tips as well. -emie
Fatih, another interesting page with excellent pictures !! I only stayed in Adana for a few hours. It was in 1985.. I can't remember much of my visit, so thanks for sharing.
Great tips, wonderful photos -- just like the architectural style of Seljukides
Excellent start in Vt with outstanding photos! Go on the good job!

By my count, I've seen 58 movies so far this year that have been or are slated to be released in the year 2012. And despite what you may think, Channing Tatum only starred in about two dozen of them. Two-thirds of the year is in the books already. Trust me, 58 films is nothing compared to folks that make their livelihoods as critics. But I'm ready to play catch-up, for fall is upon us, and that means the awesomeness ratio is about to shoot way up.
There's a lot of reasons to be hopeful — so much so that my top five reasons for excitement couldn't even include the latest from Quentin Tarantino, Kathryn Bigelow, Ang Lee and Robert Zemeckis. I'll get into those at a later date, but for now, my top five reasons to look forward to the end of the year:
P.T. Anderson Is Our Greatest Living Filmmaker
I know that sounds like hyperbole, but as I recline on my couch with "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas" on my TV — I'm finding time to catch up on some important 2011 releases still — I can't think of a writer/director who can hold their own against the genius behind "Hard Eight," "Boogie Nights," "Magnolia," "Punch Drunk Love," and "There Will Be Blood." "The Master" (opening October 14) has a tough act to follow as TWBB is about the greatest character study this side of "Citizen Kane" but the early buzz for "The Master" (led by no less than Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams) is good and it was shot in 70 frickin' millimeter. In other words, it will be gorgeous and big and well worth the five-year gap since Anderson's last effort.
Daniel Day-Lewis Is Our Greatest Living Actor
Remember my gushing a second ago about TWBB? This is the dude who drank all our milkshakes. And sure, I like to laugh about his devotion to going all method for his roles, but it's working for him, and I've admired and been in awe of just about everything he's done. On November 9, we'll see the notoriously choosy actor bring Abraham Lincoln to life in Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln." So wait a second, I'm going to hear a soaring John Williams score while Daniel Day-Lewis delivers the Gettysburg Address in a Steven Spielberg film? I'm there.
James Bond Is Back From the Dead
Sure, it's usually pretty easy to cut together an awesome-looking James Bond trailer (a few stunts, a hot girl, a fun quip and shake it — do not stir!), but I'm sensing something special from "Skyfall" (opening November 9) or at least something closer to the muscular but elegant re-boot "Casino Royale" than the messy disappointment that was "Quantum of Solace." The stakes look to be high from the latest intel — Bond seemingly killed, a betrayal by M, plus Ralph Fiennes and Javier Bardem! — and filmmaker Sam Mendes ("American Beauty," "Road to Perdition") could be an inspired choice.
I Don't Know What It Is But I [Hope I] Like It!
In a season usually filled with cookie-cutter Oscar bait, I'm a sucker for the hard-to-pin-down, WTF-out-on-a-limb Hail Mary. I don't know a ton about "Looper" (opening September 28) — only that it's sci-fi from a very promising young filmmaker named Rian Johnson (go see "Brick." Right now.). Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis play the same character from different times. Emily Blunt has a shotgun in it for some reason, and apparently, there's a big section of the movie that's not been revealed in the marketing thus far. Cool.
No Seriously, What the F— Is It?
My favorite six minutes of celluloid thus far this year are probably the final frames of "The Dark Knight Rises," but coming in a close second might be the jaw-dropping trailer/tone-poem/journey through Tom Hanks' oddest hairstyles that is the first footage released of "Cloud Atlas" (opening October 26). Lana and Andy Wachowski have teamed up with Tom Tykwer for something that looks to be audacious and challenging in what I hope is the best possible way. I confess I've never read the book, which, from what I gather, many deemed unfilmable. Well, they filmed something, and it looks pretty awesome to me.

Generating Pluripotent Stem Cells from Skin of Patients with Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this proposal is to directly derive patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from skin of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Pakinson's Disease (PD). A patient-specific iPSC line is a virtual clone of the patient because most cells of that patient can be differentiated from his/her iPSC in laboratory. Once they become available, those iPSC lines will allow scientists in any laboratory to obtain a large number of various types of cells from those MS and PD patients via in vitro differentiation. One obstacle for understanding disease mechanisms is the lack of in vitro systems to study the development of disease, especially for diseases of the human central nervous system (CNS) such as MS and PD. Animal models of the CNS diseases often fail to duplicate the true human diseases. Patient-specific iPSC generated by our proposal have the potential to provide all scientists unlimited access to diseased cells of individual patients.
We have constructed lentivirus that can introduce a stem cell selection marker into human skin cells with high efficiency and stability. We also successfully reprogrammed skin cells into iPSC in our laboratory. The high efficiency stem cell selection marker allows the selection of rare successfully reprogrammed cells. With access to one of the largest MS and PD patient populations in California, we are able to obtain skin biopsies from patients with various genetic background and pathological status. Acknowledging the value of MS iPSC and our expertise, the National MS Society has awarded us a grant to begin the work of establishing MS iPSC. Because non-NIH approved human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines will be used in our cell fusion experiment, federal funding can not be used in our proposal.
With our MS society funded proposal as a starting point, we propose to generate a collection of disease-specific iPSC lines from MS and PD patients. We will first reprogram our MS skin cells into iPSC, which have a stem cell selection marker introduced by lentivirus. Second, PD iPSC lines will be generated with similar procedures. Finally, a collection of iPSC lines will be generated from patients with diverse genetic background and pathological status of MS and PD. Besides distributing those MS/PD iPSC to the research community, our proposal develops a protocol for large-scale systematic generation of patient-specific iPSC collections of various diseases, which impacts the whole stem cell field beyond MS and PD.
Approximately one of every thousand Californians suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS), which is the most common neural disorders without known cause, means of prevention, or cure. Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second common neurodegenerative disorder and affect one in 100 individuals over the age of 50. Here, we propose to derive induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from skin of MS and PD patients. These cells can be used to identify genes and pathways that are involved in MS and PD as well as for drug discovery for treating MS and PD. These iPSC will directly benefit the large population of MS and PD patients in California. The protocol for generating disease-specific stem cell lines developed in this proposal will impact the whole field of stem cell research and application.

18 Weeks & No Pelvic Exam
Not that I'm complaining, I'd rather not have my hoo haw checked but for the baby's sake. Just wanted to know what all you have experienced.
Comments (10)
i had one at my first prenatal appt with each pregnancy (as i was due for a pap each time) and then nothing until the last few weeks. i think my first pregnancy my doc started doing a quick cervix check at 32 weeks but that was just to see if my cervix was ripening/dilating. im 34 weeks tomorrow and my ob still hasnt done a cervix check on me. i think he planned to today, but none of the exam rooms was open and instead of sending me back to the waiting room after my NST he just skipped doing it this week since there is no exam table in the NST room-just a reclining chair. he didnt even do a pelvic exam after my trip to the ER for passing blood clots-the doc there did a quick one to make sure my cervix was still closed but that was literally putting the speculum in and opening it, peeking through and getting out of dodge-she didnt want to irritate anything further.
Mine did a pelvic at my first exam because I was due for a pap - other than that unless there is an issue she says she won't be doing another check until I come to L&D
I had a pelvic at my first and last appointment with my son and so far only the first appointment with baby #2. Many doctors find that the risk of introducing infection outweighs the usefulness of a regular pelvic check.
I'm pretty sure OP wouldn't be equally concerned if people started studying algebra on Its A Small World. ~ PineRhine
I had 1 at my first appt and not again until I was around 38 weeks to strip my membranes and again at 39 weeks to see if I was dilated. I can't think of a reason for someone to need one every appointment.
There is no reason to have one.

How to Make Dark Brown Hair Truly Look Brown
While several people may think you have black hair, the truth may be, you have such dark brown hair, they cannot realize it. If you would like to show them the true color, then read on!
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Make sure that your hair truly is brown. Faking is of no use at all. To do this, hold your hair up to natural sunlight. If it appears to be brown, then you know the color of your hair.
2Bleach your hair slightly if you are allowed to. This may be harmful to your hair. Alternately, spend several hours outside in the sun. Remember to wear sunblock to prevent skin cancer. Spending time out in the sun can lighten seemingly black hair to make it look more brown.
3Blow dry your hair after a shower. Wet hair looks much darker than dry hair.
4Wear very dark tops. If you have hair that reaches your shoulders or below, your hair will look lighter in comparison.
5Dipping your hair in molasses for 20 hours brings the best results
Community Q&A

- Use henna for hair. Certain types of henna can be used to color the hair orange, red or brown.
- Be careful with any chemicals. Keep them away from the eyes.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Baylor University and its president are facing mounting pressure over how the school has handled reports of rape and assault by football players, and the Texas university says its governing board is still considering the results of an internal investigation into the matter.
Asked about reports Tuesday that the board of regents had voted to fire school President Ken Starr, university spokeswoman Lori Fogleman said in an email, "Ken Starr is president and chancellor of Baylor University." Fogleman did not elaborate.

Baptists believe in gospel, Thunder
The phrase "I Believe" takes on a double meaning in a Baptist faith outreach being conducted in conjunction with the Oklahoma City Thunder NBA playoff series.
Harry Black, executive director of the Capitol Baptist Association, said Baptists believe in the hope of Christ. And they believe in the Thunder.
"Baptists tend to look for any opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. We believe it is a good thing for a person's life," he said.
"The Thunder in Oklahoma City is great news — we're in the finals and we believe they can go all the way to the finals and win the finals. We thought this was a great opportunity to combine good news in two ways."
The "I Believe" outreach is a project of Capitol Baptist and the Union Baptist Association in partnership with the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma. The associations, affiliates of the convention, are made up of churches in the central Oklahoma area, including Norman.
Black and the Rev. Jimmy Kinnaird said the outreach will be similar to what Baptists have done at Super Bowl events and Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Baptist volunteers take the opportunity provided by these popular events to share the gospel and hospitality at the same time.
"We're Thunder fans of course and of course we're fans of Jesus too," Kinnaird, senior pastor of Village Baptist Church, said Thursday.
Kinnaird said he met with Tim Knopps, of Oklahoma City, and Black and the trio put together a plan for the playoff outreach, with Black as lead coordinator. Knopps, who describes himself as an event evangelist, has worked for many years to tie in evangelism efforts with big events.
Black said the outreach began recently when Baptist volunteers got a chance to place Thunder T-shirts on seats before a recent playoff game at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Black said volunteers prayed for each person that would be sitting in the seat, for the Thunder players and the city.
Other efforts
Other outreach efforts include:
Building bridges
Black said church members will be distributing the brochures and other materials in Bricktown and to friends, family and co-workers when the Thunder comes up in conversations.
"They can put one of those in someone's hands and let the Holy Spirit take it from there," he said.
The Rev. Dave Evans, senior pastor of Highland Baptist Church in Moore, said several men at his church are already planning to invite people to playoff watch parties. He said the church members will have the Sports Spectrum magazine and other material to present to guests as they enjoy the game.
"This will be an opportunity to build a bridge out in the community," Evans said.
Kinnaird agreed.
He said the outreach is another way to help others along in their faith journey, allowing Baptist volunteers to be part of a team that shares the gospel in a different venue.
"'I believe we're (Thunder) going to make it all the way and I believe in Christ," Kinnaird said.
"We need hope and that's really what this is — a message of hope."

February 19, 1999
PASCO, Wash. - Junior left-hander Wade Parrish allowed just one earned run in eight innings of work and Jason Grove hit his fifth home run of the year to catapult the Washington State baseball team to a 10-2 non-conference victory over Gonzaga University Friday at Posse Stadium.
Parrish (Othello, Wash.) was brilliant in his second start of the 1999 season giving up just four hits and one walk to earn his second win. He threw 92 pitches while striking out two and walking only one. Parrish, who was a first team all-Pac-10 North selection with an 8-3 record last season, is now 11-10 for his career as a Cougar.
"I am pretty happy to go eight strong innings this early in the season," Parrish said. "I made some mistakes out there, but the defense played well and I got the job done."
After giving up a solo home run to Gonzaga's Adam Stokey in the fourth inning, Parrish did not yield another hit to the Bulldog lineup. From the fourth inning to his exit in the eighth, Parrish retired 15 of 16 batters, with only a walk to break the streak.
Gonzaga starter Matt Siwek (0-2) made a valiant effort on the mound despite recording his second loss of the season. Siwek (Port Orchard, Wash.) gave up only five hits and four earned runs in six innings, while striking out eight.
Grove (Walla Walla, Wash.) continued his torrid hitting streak at the plate with a 2-for-3 day. He connected on his fifth round-tripper of the year and added a run-scoring double to cap off a four RBI game. For the season he is hitting at a .560 clip (14-for-25) with 17 RBIs.
Shawn Stevenson (Everett, Wash.), Ray Hattenburg (Spokane, Wash.) and Steve Gleason (Spokane, Wash.) also contributed two hits apiece in the Cougs fourth win of the season. Stevenson remained perfect on the basepaths with his fifth stolen base of the season. The one, two, and three hitters in the Cougar lineup combined to go 6-for-11 with seven RBIs.
At the plate the Cougs started slowly until putting up a run in the fourth frame. Gleason tripled home Grove to pull the Cougs to within one, 2-1. It was Gleason's 12th career triple as a Cougar, putting him in a tie for third on the all-time Cougar record list.
Grove put the Cougs ahead for good in fifth with a two-out, line drive three-run home run over the left-center field fence. Hattenburg added a three-run double in the eighth to push WSU's lead to 10-2. Hard-throwing Reggie Rivard (Bonnyville, Alberta) entered in relief of Parrish in the ninth sealing the win. It was the fourth time the Cougars have reached double digits in runs scored this season.
Gonzaga's Stokey provided the hitting heroics for the Zag's going 2-for-4 with his first home run of the year. In its four games the Bulldogs have combined to score only eight runs and 15 hits.
Washington State (4-1) and Gonzaga (1-3) will continue its three-game series Saturday with a 1 p.m. contest at the home of the Tri-City Posse, Posse Stadium. Jamaal Gaines (0-1) will get the start on the mound for the Cougars.
GONZAGA 001 100 000 - 2 5 0 WSU 000 130 33x - 10 10 1

Patient Comments: Bed Bugs - Treatments
Were you able to effectively treat and rid your home of bed bugs?
Comment from: Wiser, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: November 04
I kept feeling like I couldn't do much and it kept getting worse. Doctor did blood test and there was no response from him. Lab didn't send test results to doctor. I assumed it as ok. Next time I saw him, he said I didn't look good. I took another blood test. Hemoglobin level was at 6. Not good at all. I entered hospital and had blood transfusion and more. After many tests, results suggested my stomach was not absorbing iron from foods. Still getting treated and hemoglobin is up to 10.8. I feel much better a year later; takes a long time.
Comment from: Paul G, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: August 27
We found an all-natural product called Bugright and it killed every crawling insect we had. It is a powder and it works. It was great to know it is safe around children and pets.
Comment from: Repoman, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: April 11
Bed bug issue in my townhome is a challenge, I bombed, sprayed, Orkined, steamed and sprayed again. You have to be persistent and keep killing the little monster. I replaced mattresses and will not have delivered new ones until after the retreat by the Orkin Man. I may rip up the carpet if this does not work. I am not paying 3K to heat treat, I would rather buy new flooring.
Comment from: foodcooppres, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: November 06
We got rid of the rest of the bedbugs in our bedroom in a strange way. We tore out the infested carpet and put in vinyl, but got the wrong adhesive for the vinyl, something meant for countertops. It had a terrible chemical smell, and all the rest of the bugs in the baseboards etc. were killed in hours. The clothing, I washed or put through the clothes dryer, and stored papers went in the freezer for a week.
Published: August 16
About 1 year ago, I noticed something crawling in our bed, I instantly googled bed bugs and realized that's what we had. We were sleeping on a bed given to us by my brother-in-law...and we had a major infestation in our room, but no where else. We burned the mattress, box spring and frame, and bought on-line chemicals to treat our room. Bought a new bed set, and they came back in our SON's room! TERMINIX came 10 days ago and "treated" for bed begs (they only found 1 live adult and some eggs) and today, a live one in our bed. I am SO MAD!!!
Comment from: Jill, Published: August 31
I just received a low hemoglobin count of 7.6 at a health fair screening. I shared that with my doctor who called me in immediately for a full blown blood evaluation. He thought that count was a mistake since every other test came back perfectly normal. They asked me all sorts of questions but they said I look fine. He thought this was an error in the blood test result at the health fair.
Comment from: gotalump, 45-54 Male Published: June 30
A few days ago I noticed a lump below my sternum and above my belly button, and the lump only appears when I am going from a lying position to getting up. As my muscles tense, the lump appears. When I saw the lump, I wondered to myself what was growing inside me. Than I did some research online (the worst thing to do) and saw it can possibly be an epigastric hernia, which I'm hoping that is all it is.
Comment from: slhall61, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: August 28
We are still in the process of ridding our home of bed bugs. I have a steamer on the way.

I found my 96 Acura 2.5 TL is hard to start in the morning when the air is cold and humid. I live near oceanside and generally park my car on the driveway. The problem occurs about 2-3 times per week. The battery had been changed and the car had been tuned-up about a year ago in an auto shop. The spark plugs and wires should have been changed, but recently I have found "2002" marked on the wires. Don't know if it means the wires were made in 2002. When the air is cold and humid, it always takes me 3-4 times to ignite the engine, looks like stepping on gas pedal helps a little bit. The engine will eventually start, but now it takes me longer and longer to get it started. And there is a heavy smell of gas right after I it is ignited. The car just runs great as usual for the rest of the day. I tried WD-40 around the distribution caps and fuel-injection cleaner. None of them helps to relieve the problem. It's my only car and I'm tight in budget to fix it. Please help! Thanks!

I have the same year/model of car. The fuel filter is very assessable in the engine compartment. I would put a fuel pressure gauge in the banjo fitting on top of the fuel filter fitting start the car, switch it off and start the car first thing the following morning and see that it quickly builds fuel pressure and the pressure is adequate. As a tune up item this car has adjustable valves (often over looked as part of a tune up). How are your plugs? Could there be oil inside the distributor cap (the distributor is in a very hot place in the engine compartment. Your car has On Board Diagnostics, the connector is behind the ash tray. A scan tool can be attached to monitor engine sensor data to see they are within specification. Ensure the air induction boot is not cracked and is firmly attached to the intake manifold.

Have you been trying to increase traffic to your website using only SEO, but find yourself coming up short? It might be time to consider another option.
While companies focus on making their sites more SEO (search engine optimized) friendly, they could be neglecting another search marketing tool – PPC (pay per click) advertising.
Most people use SEO only because there is little to no direct cost they have to pay. However, making your site SEO friendly can take a lot of time and effort. Also, SEOs can often just be guesses about which keywords are popular and could possibly bring clicks.
PPC doesn't require any changes to your site and you only have to pay if your ad is getting clicks. PPC can be more precise in figures giving you the opportunity to adjust your PPC immediately. You can have more control over your budget by stopping and starting campaigns. You can also have control over making sure visitors to your site come directly to your landing page as opposed to any page on your site.
Make your site both SEO and PPC friendly to help increase visibility of your site across the web. Want more information on increasing your market reach? The experts at OneIMS will guide you through a variety of available options within your budget.

text: Posted November 1, 2013 Anyone that has been here awhile probably remembers my stance on abortion. But I am curious how many people are anti-death penalty but still pro choice. The reason I ask is because like so many other issues, abortion rights has never been about morals or right or wrong, or womens rights or protecting babies. It has only been about politics. In order to have an opinion you either had to be left or right liberal on conservative. That being said, left leaning people who tend to not support the death penalty and have no objection to the government applying a moral standard to killing criminals, seem to be against anyone applying a moral standard to killing unborn babies. Righties on the other hand protest mightily to abortions yet are very "liberal" in applying the death penalty. This is interesting on so many levels. Also, someone mentioned something about black market abortions being worse than clinical ones. I dont think they fully grasp the position of people that are anti-abortion. There is essentially no difference between the two. It is still killing babies. I know some might not believe that unborn babies matter enough to save but it would be hypocritical to challenge another persons right to believe that it is and still call yourself pro-choice. Keeping that in mind, people would do a lot to protect a child without any concern to the person they consider as the offender. Now before anyone goes on about it not being the other persons child, remember you stance in the conversations earlier about spanking and what basically boiled down to child abuse and a bystander's duty to intervene. And because it always comes up seeing as it is a staple argument for the pro-choice side of the argument, I would like to address the "rape", "incest" abortion argument by saying that noone has once asked for a special, legal, supervised clinic specifically for victims of sexual crimes. Nope, instead the narrative has been that even though the number of abortions performed due to victims of sexual crimes is very low, this sole reason justifies the act in all situations A few numbers for anyones concern. estimated 237,868 victims of rape and sexual assault (aged 12 and over including men and women) while an estimated 1.06 million abortions performed in 2011. (down from 1.13 million in 2010) Whatever the percentage of that 237,868 are women and of those women that get raped instead a myriad of other acts that qualify as sexual assault, and of those women that get pregnant, and of those that get pregnant that choose abortion, it is a small percentage of abortions performed.http://www.abort73.com/abortion_facts/us_abortion_statistics/http://www.rainn.org/get-information/statistics/frequency-of-sexual-assault Now I was being generous with my estimations. The National Abortion Federation (NAF) reports thats 1 percent or less all abortions performed are because of incest/rape/sexual assault. I tried to factor in cases that may go unreported but I could get no higher than 3 percent in my estimation. I haven't been here awhile but I am interested on your stance if you don't mind telling again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kansas exhumes bodies of 'In Cold Blood' killers to collect DNA evidence for old Florida case
LANSING, Kan. – The bodies of the two men executed for the 1959 murders of a Kansas family that became infamous in Truman Capote's true-crime book "In Cold Blood" were exhumed Tuesday in an effort to solve slayings of a Florida family killed weeks later.
Kyle Smith, deputy director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, said bone fragments were collected from the skeletal remains of Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, who were hanged for the murders of Herb and Bonnie Clutter and their children in Holcomb, Kan., on Nov. 15, 1959.
The fragments were collected at the request of a Sarasota County Sheriff's detective, who has been trying to determine whether Hickock and Perry Smith were responsible for the deaths of Cliff and Christine Walker and their two young children on Dec. 19, 1959, in their home in Osprey, about four hours northwest of Miami near Sarasota. Smith and Hickock fled to Florida after the Clutter murders....

Mercedes-Benz SL600 Reviews
Mercedes-Benz SL600 Reviews and Owner Comments
I bought my car about 8 years ago for a Summer cruiser. I like the looks of the car and it's smooth ride. It is my first Mercedes. I am a better than average wrench when working on a car. My daily driver is a Lexus LS 460 and have been driving Lexus since 2000. I am used to premium luxury and I have to say, the Mercedes has been a bit of a disappointment. The SL 600 was the top of the line 2 seater and sold above $100,000 and yet there has hardly been a year where I didn't have an issue of some kind. Suspension problems, engine coils, air conditioning, convertible top problems and now an engine light. This car has less than 56,000 miles. This is NOT what I expected and when Lexus finally builds a sporty convertible I will sell this beautiful looking car.
Cons= cost of maintenance Pros= Beautiful vehicle, excellent fit and finish, very respectable performance, exotic. I gave the Brakes only 4 stars due to the brakes squealing after every car washing :(
1995 SL600 a fun to drive car, great traveling the interstate. Can't handle long back-ups without temp climbing....needs movement to cool. Lots of power and braking, world class handling. Only real problem is the wiring breaks down and could need expensive parts to replace..ie throttle bodys, e-gas computer 15k to replace new. ( 2k rebuilt )If you are looking for a weekend driver this is it.
Hello everyone. This is my view on these machines. I have a 1998 SL600 and her name is Lisa (as in Mona Lisa and yes, I name my automobiles). Please, remember that these cars are not simple Ford Mustangs or Mazda Miatas with hood stars. Mercedes SLs are cars for people that understand and/or enjoy complex machines (or that have mechanics that do if they don't). Think Swiss timepiece - Not something you just buy to tell time with. If that's what you're after, get the Mazda. You also shouldn't buy one if you are bargain shopping or trying to impress someone - especially if you can't afford the fuel costs or maintenance. You'd be better of training on a simpler, cheaper automobile. Personally, I love them to death and I'm very mechanically inclined yet I still get goose bumps when I think of changing the plugs or playing with the hydraulic suspension on this V12. However, if you are ready for one of these beauties, they are a real pleasure to have and just like anything else that is well made, they were designed by engineers that know their stuff and these cars were built to last with expensive materials and highly skilled labor. You are making an investment with a Mercedes S-class or SL. Buy one that was taken care of properly by someone who loved it then you do the same. Keep in mind that this is a machine designed and built by humans - not gods. There will be problems. There always are. It's just a matter of perspective.
I drive MBZ SL600 R (2000). Drives like a dream. Soft top works flawlessly. AC (Indeed it's climate control) - no complains, cabin cools in seconds. I monitor gas mileage every time I fill the gas tank (only premium fuel, of course). gas mileage stays pretty consistent averaging 15-17 miles/gal in the city. Really fun to drive car.
JUNK...Any Sl600, SL65, Sl55 under the year 2009 per the dealership. I was told if you purchase any of these nightmaeres (which I DID) be p0repard to put in an additional $20k, of which I'm at the half-way mark in less than a year. Love Mercedes, hate their Junk. Stop BETA-TESTING on the public; and charging us for it!!!!!
This is just a car with problems. Very power full, yet simple stuff don't work properly. ABC for one. A/C takes a long time to cool off a small cabin. I've a big SUV and considering the size of the cabin it does a much better job cooling. Strange noises heard when the car is cold, gone when the car is warm.
love it, pumps for roof are out can i get the soft top up manually
Ideal car!

BERKELEY - Members of the California men's basketball team recently spent an afternoon learning how to properly preprare nutritious meals that will benefit them on the court and in their everyday lives.
Under the direction of Sports Nutritionist Suzanne Nelson, ScD RD and head men's basketball strength & conditioning coach Nicodemus Christopher, the Bears engaged in a great hands-on session of cooking techniques in the kitchen. Each member in attendance got a chance to help prepare a lasagna that the group enjoyed that evening for dinner.
From using the right amount of ingredients in daily cooking to proper eating habits overall that will benefit them in recovery from workouts, the group learned a great deal in the class.

More questions than answers
I am having a home built and was wondering if there is a relationship formul for the height of a vaulted ceiling so that the room looks somewhat balanced.
If my room is 21' x 19' with 9' high walls, will the room look balanced with a vaulted ceiling height of 12' to the cente line?
It's all a matter of personal preference. What you are proposing will look fine. I prefer a steep vault over a shallow vault. There is no formula to my knowledge.
