FRED DAVIS Turquoise and Silver Pillbox.Amazing, ca. 1928, Fully Marked. FREDERICK W. DAVIS discovered and fostered native folk art and the work of Mexican contemporary artists and participated in the development of a crafts industry which would include the production of silver jewelry. He sought out master silversmiths in Mexico City and worked with them to produce silver which has been described as âeoeunmistakably Mexicanâe. He accomplished this because of his understanding and appreciation of the Mexican aesthetic and because he was willing to share in the design process. His designs were inspired in Pre-Columbian art as it was revealed on pyramid walls and in contemporary Indian work, tempered by his own creativity. You could find more information about Fred Davis in the book: Mexican Silver, 20 th Century Handwrought Jewelry & Metalwork by Penny Chittim Morrill and Carole A. Berk. This beautiful pillbox is made in silver. The lid has a turquoise cabochon inlaid in it and it is in perfect condition. The lower part of the box has a small cut piece; this makes the box easier to open. It is a really simple but beautiful design which has the characteristics of a piece designed by FRED DAVIS. It measures: 1 1/8 X ¾ in. and ¾ in. of height. It is fully marked as follows: FD, 925. It weights: 9.9 gr. It is in excellent vintage condition, it has only some minor surface scratches and dents common to any worn vintage piece. Look at the photos so you can detail it.

Albanian News Breaks in New York
Luxner, Larry, Editor & Publisher
A Bronx, N.Y.-based ethnic newspaper is not quite two years old but has become an important source of information on Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Balkan conflict.
Illyria, published twice a week in English and Albanian, is the brain-child of Harry Bajraktari, a 35-year-old Albanian businessman who immigrated to the United States in 1970 from his native Kosova.
That region, populated mostly by ethnic Albanian Muslims, recently declared its independence from Serbia and is expected to be the next flash point in a war that has taken 100,000 lives and has devastated the former Yugoslavia.
"We're the only source of information that comes twice a week on Kosova," said Bajraktari in a recent interview in New York. "We get calls from all over the country. Our voice is heard by senators, the State Department and on Capitol Hill."
Adds Deborah Jo Angus, the paper's managing editor, "We pride ourselves on being the most comprehensive publication on the Balkans. We run on average between 10 and 15 articles an issue, more than anyone else. You might see one or two stories a day in the New York Times, but we try to delve a little deeper."
Illyria, which means "freedom" in Albanian, was born in June 1991, the same week James Baker attracted a crowd of 300,000 people in Tirana and became the first U.S. secretary of state to visit Albania in more than 50 years.
The 24-page newspaper has appeared every Wednesday and Saturday since then. Some 4,000 copies circulate in the United States and another 5,500 are mailed to Europe and elsewhere.
For the moment, Illyria faces little competition. The only other newspapers serving the 250,000-member Albanian-American community are Liria - a four-page monthly opinion paper published in Boston - and the newly established Albanian Herald in Detroit.
Bajraktari declined to say how much he invested to launch the paper, but he does expect Illyria to break even in six months.
Angus says at least 40% of every issue is devoted to the Balkan crisis.
A typical recent issue of Illyria contained articles on President Clinton's peace plan for Bosnia, the expulsion of 2,000 Albanians from Greece, growing Serb tension in Macedonia and Albania's efforts to attract foreign investment in oil-drilling ventures. There is also strong local coverage of community activities, with news on everything from the latest Albanian Orthodox Church controversy to New York's All-Albanian soccer team.
The paper also serves another function: It helps Albanians in their home-land and in the United States to learn English.
Advertisers - mainly restaurants, travel agencies and immigration lawyers - cater specifically to the Albanian community in New York.
In addition to subscribing to Inter Press Service, Reuters and the Associated Press, Illyria has two full-time staffers in Tirana; three in Prishtine, Kosova; one in the newly independent Macedonia, and one in Montenegrol which along with Serbia forms the greatly reduced Yugoslav Federation. …

OK, so it's not how the Vancouver Volcanoes were hoping to "ring" in their new season.
The Volcanoes take to the court tonight for the first time since winning the International Basketball League championship last July. And while the team might be ready for a new season, the championship rings the franchise ordered are not, putting a planned ring ceremony on hold.
No matter.
"We're looking pretty good," said Andre Murray, a 6-foot-2 guard out of Portland State who led the Volcanoes in scoring last season. "We have the core group back; I'm looking forward to repeating."
While the core group will be back, the Volcanoes tonight will look much different from the team that won the championship.
Bryan Hunter stepped down as coach, remaining as the general manager while also taking over ownership of the league. And several players — including Devon Uskoski and Lawrence Blackledge — are completing seasons overseas before joining the Volcanoes.
"It's actually an opportunity to get a look at some guys," said coach Joe Navarro, who served as an assistant under Hunter the past two years. "We're going to be a lot more up-tempo. We're going to be more of a perimeter team."
The Volcanoes are coming off the first title in the franchise's seven-year history in the IBL, a league that features former college players. This year's 10-team league includes franchises based in Bellingham, Olympia, Portland, Salem, and McMinnville, Ore.
"It's kind of hard to say what can you do after you've won something," Murray said. "I think we can't get complacent; we're going to be the hunted team now."
What: Salem Soldiers at Vancouver Volcanoes, the opening game of Vancouver's IBL season.
When/where: 7 p.m. Saturday at Clark College's O'Connell Sports Center.
Tickets: $7 adults; $3 ages 8-18; free for age 7-under.

Using Tilt With Architecture (Columns), 90/4.5
The tilt function can be used to provide sharp rendition of architectural features that would otherwise be impossible to capture, even with stopping down to f/32.
There is a flip side however: by favoring one area, other areas are blurred.
The Schneider 90/4.5 used swing (e.g., tilt left/right) to bring the row of columns into sharp focus even wide open at f/4.5.
The wedge of sharpness resulting from swing as used here leaves the areas away from the columns blurred, as can be seen at left and right, and especially at right. This effect is less noticeable with distance, and with stopping down.

Francisco De Jesús
Francisco has been farming since he was 15 years old. His father taught him knowing that it would serve him as work in the future. He also works as a guard in a coffee processing plant and that also generates income for his family. He has been doing this for 3 years and he decided to do this as a friend recommended him to work there. He works 24 hours and rests 24 hours. The days he has off he work at his farming.
The loan he is requesting from CrediCampo is to buy 4 bags of fertilizer to cultivate 14,000 sq. meters of land. He will also buy a liter of herbicide to kill the weeds that harm his crops and also find people to help him with his growing. This will help him as with the support of the loans he can cultivate more and make more income. Francisco's dream is to continue farming and be able to help his wife get ahead and have lots of income to support his children and their studies.
Francisco de 38 años de edad, es un agricultor que estudio hasta cuarto grado, es acompañado la esposa se dedica a los oficios domésticos, han procreado 2 hijos en esta relación, lo cual uno de ellos están en la escuela.
Francisco se dedica a la agricultura desde que tenía 15 años de edad, este trabajo se lo enseño el padre sabiendo que en un futuro le iba a servir este oficio; también trabaja como vigilante en un beneficio donde recogen el café esto también le genera ingresos a la familia, esto lo hace desde tres años y decidió dedicarse a esto porque un amigo lo recomendó para trabajar ahí, en un horario de 24 horas y 24 horas que descansa esos días que descansa trabaja la agricultura.
El préstamo que esta solicitando a CREDICAMPO, es para comprar 4 sacos de abono, para cultivar 14,000 metros cuadrados de tierra y también comprara un litro de herbicidas para matar la hierba mala que le afecta a los cultivos también buscara más personas que le ayuden al cultivo. Esto le ayudara porque hoy con la ayuda de los préstamos podrán cultivar más y tener mejores ingresos.
Los sueños Francisco es poder seguir cultivando y poder ayudarles a la esposa a salir adelante y poder tener muchos ingresos para sacar adelante los hijos y que estudien.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of a CrediCampo project to help rural farmers living in extreme poverty plant basic grains to feed their families. Excess product is sold on the local market. These loans are smaller than the typical loans offered by this field partner, and guarantee requirements are also reduced. Individuals who receive this type of loan also get access to technical assistance, information on good environmental practices and increased access to farm inputs like fertilizer. This is considered a high risk loan due to the population and loan purpose, and CrediCampo is one of the very few institutions in El Salvador willing to working with these farmers.
About CrediCampoThis loan is administered by CrediCampo, a Kiva Field Partner in El Salvador. CrediCampo seeks to improve the lives of rural communities and their families in areas including health, education, basic services, and infrastructure. Through its Community Development Unit, CrediCampo provides scholarships, leadership development training, and financial education programs for families in rural areas. CrediCampo's work is crucial in addressing the issue of poverty in El Salvador. Based on 2009 estimates, 37.8% of the population lives below the poverty line.

Just over an hour away, the charming and picturesque town of York will slow down time like a kiss in the movies and transport you to an era when men were gentlemen and ladies were, well, ladies. If that sounds too gushy for you – or you'd rather bring your girlfriends – then you can speed up time with the adventures to be had in the spectacular outdoors of the Avon Valley. So go on, scroll down to see our range of York hotels and classy farmhouses. As Western Australia's first inland settlement, York has a strong colonial history that's on show in its beautiful historic streets. Many of the awe-worthy Victorian and Federation buildings and churches have been restored to their former glory, making York one of few WA towns to hold 'Historic Town' status. You'll just love the cute little tearooms, where you can sip tea and chat for hours. There are also cafes and restaurants set between a treasure trove of galleries, antique stores and arts and crafts shops where you're guaranteed to find a pretty souvenir for your desk at work (or a new crafty accessory). Part of the Avon Valley, the lands surrounding York are home to babbling brooks and green rolling hills that ooze country charm. Don't be fooled though - these picturesque landscapes aren't all for gazing at through rose-tinted glasses while holding your lover's hand. The skies above the horizon are all for action. You couldn't skydive or hang-glide anywhere prettier than this! Horse treks and golf for the boys are other ways to get out and explore the sights without skipping a heartbeat. The other towns in the Avon Valley will no doubt allure you. Brooktown is full of parks and gardens, Northam graces the banks of the Avon River at the heart of the valley, and New Norcia is a little piece of Spain in the bush. With nearly half of New Norcia's heritage buildings listed by the National Trust, it's also home to Benedictine Monastery, which is still a commune of monks today. Feeling mesmerised by the sound of it all? York will show you what being a lady is all about – with a streak of adrenalin! Come and experience the joys of the Avon Valley, from the time-warp of the heritage streets to the postcard landscapes and the adventures to explore it with.

Anyone who has seen the movie Scream will say the same thing about it - its terrifying! The Men's Ghost Face Costume comes with a black robe with an attached hood and draping jagged sleeves and a jagged hem at the bottom of the robe. This costume also includes a black belt and the signature white ghost face mask with a black elongated mouth and black sagging eyes. You can accessorize this costume with a toy sword - just like the one the killer used in the movie! Scream had a massive cultural impact with its play on the traditional slasher movie. The Men's Ghost Face Costume is an exact replica of the horrible slasher killer from the movie.

Not many years ago, if you wanted razor clams, you simply drove to the beach. Clams were plentiful, the digging was easy, and getting a limit of 60 was a cinch. No more. When I went last summer, I found only one small clam. On the way home, I had to buy a package of frozen clams so I could make chowder.
According to WebMD, in 2014, new studies found that sitting for long hours is linked to worse mental health, a higher risk of death from heart disease and other causes, and a higher risk of being disabled. And yet, Americans seem to be sitting more than ever before.
A couple of weeks ago, I had a dream about fishing. Upon awakening, I was smiling and feeling good, unlike my usual early-morning feeling. I stayed in bed for a while, trying to recall what happened in that dream. I could remember fishing with friends, catching a big fish and having fun, but details were fuzzy.
Author's note: A loyal reader recently noted that it has been two years since I bamboozled readers into learning about fish by slipping a little cold biology into a hot romance novel. Spurred to action by this tremendous upsurge in interest, I hereby present yet another torrid chapter in the lives of the voluptuous fishing guide, Jenna, and the rugged river ranger, Rod. — LP
For years, I railed against subsistence fishing in the Kenai. I dreaded that it would mean gill nets in the river. I feared that it would be a federally enforced source of bitter divisiveness among local residents.

For years, most anglers fished for halibut in Southcentral waters with the same bait and technique: a chunk of herring on either a "c" hook or a "j" hook, fished on the bottom. Some still do. But many have learned that other baits and methods can be far more productive and a whole lot more fun.
If you're staying indoors a lot this winter, here are some ideas for staving off cabin fever.
Plan and book fishing and hunting trips
The best times and places, as well as the best guides, lodges and cabins, usually are booked months in advance. Plan carefully, but book your trips now. If you wait until summer, you could end up with whatever is left after some early bird got the best worm.
Tie some flies
Earlier this week, billionaire Bill Gates announced on his Internet blog that a new kind of sewage-treatment plant, an "Omniprocessor," had been built that can turn feces into pure water and provide enough electricity to run the plant, with some to spare. On a YouTube video, Gates can be seen drinking water from the output of the plant. "The water tasted as good as any I've had out of a bottle," he said.
After a 60-year hiatus from building model airplanes, I'm doing it again. Please bear with me while I explain what this has to do with fishing and hunting.

Most recreational boaters stay home and mow their lawns when the weather threatens, but for those willing to take come-what-may, the rewards are many.
On July 19, in a cove 19 miles out of Whittier in Prince William Sound, the weather was nasty. The mist was so thick, you felt as if you could drown in it.

On a side note - should have never got rid of Ray Felton. Why exactly would you want Felton on this team? So he can take minutes away from Kemba, or so we can play a really small lineup with two 6 footers? I love Felton, but he is approaching 30 and the last time he played on a shitty team (Portland), he didnt even bother getting in shape Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The U.S. Senate opened floor debate on health care reform legislation Nov. 30 with Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., reminding his colleagues that generations of the American people have called on lawmakers to "fix this broken system. We're now closer than ever to getting it done."
Even as the debate heated up, the movement for women's equality scheduled a "Day of Action" on Capitol Hill Wednesday Dec. 2 to demand that the Senate reject the Stupak-Pitts amendment that imposes sweeping limits on women's right to an abortion. The poison-pill rider was approved by the House when it passed its version of health care reform 220-215 on Nov. 7.
The National Organization for Women, chief sponsor of the Capitol Hill lobby and rally, warned, "Make no mistake. The Affordable Health Care for America Act as adopted with the Stupak-Pitts Amendment ... is the greatest threat to women's fundamental right to abortion since it was recognized under the Constitution with Roe v. Wade. Abortion is health care. It is not acceptable to achieve health care by pushing women into the back alleys to die."
An analysis posted on the NOW web site points out that the Senate version "does not have the same vicious right-wing vitriol of the Stupak Coathanger Amendment." Coat hangers used in back-alley abortions caused the death of many women and have been long a symbol of the death toll before the Supreme Court legalized abortions in 1973.
The analysis explains that the senators stripped out the Stupak-Pitts amendment and substituted the Capp amendment which "allows both public and private plans to offer abortion coverage." Unlike Stupak-Pitts, "it allows consumers to use government subsidies to purchase insurance that covers abortions but requires that their premiums, and not federal funds, pay for the actual procedure."
The Capp amendment includes a "conscience clause" saying that health care providers cannot be "discriminated against because of a willingness or unwillingness ... to provide, pay for, provide coverage of or refer for abortions."
The author of the analysis comments, "This move is a much better option."
Many see the hidden hand of the insurance lobby in the Stupak-Pitts amendment, a cunning "poison pill" to split the coalition for health care reform and a robust federally-funded public option.

This study exploits longitudinal employer–employee matched data from the U.S. Census Bureau to investigate the contribution of worker and firm reallocation to changes in earnings inequality within and across industries between 1992 and 2003. We find that factors that cannot be measured using standard cross-sectional data, including the entry and exit of firms and the sorting of workers across firms, are important sources of changes in earnings distributions over time. Our results also suggest that the dynamics driving changes in earnings inequality are heterogeneous across industries.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Hotels are "intrinsically pointless...just a shelter for people," says Philppe Starck but in his newest interior project, Paris hotel Le Royal Monceau, he has attempted to create a "home" rich with history, art, Parisian elegance.
Le Royal Monceau is just a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe and Parc Monceau. Opening August 1, 1928, this sophisticated hotel became a rendezvous place for artists, intellectuals, and celebrities from Ernest Hemingway, General Eisenhower and Ho Chi Minh to Michael Jackson, Madonna and Robert de Niro. After a bit of a lull, in 2008, the hotel closed down for renovations and got a much-needed breath of life. Re-opening in October 2010, Starck's reimagined interiors attempt to bring Parisian 1920s into the modern age with an exuberant and luxurious design, inviting one not to pass through, but to stay a while.

Cars turn out to help fight cancer
PITTSTON TWP. — The area's elite teenage pianists on Sunday showcased their talent in front of a three-judge panel, which included world-renowned piano player Jon Nakamatsu.
At the end of the day, Kevin Hu, a ninth-grader from Clarks Summit, and Sienna Tabron, an 11th-grade Wyoming Seminary student from Wilkes-Barre, walked out of WVIA Studios as victorious junior and senior 2014 Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic Piano Competition champions, respectively.
Six junior finalists (grades 7 through 9) and two senior finalists (grades 9 through 11) had all been vying for the title of their respective age groups.
While Sienna is no stranger to winning at the WVIA competition, having won the junior competition in 2012, she did face tough competition from ninth-grader Nathan Grabow of Lake Ariel.
"I was actually kind of surprised," Sienna said of the win with a laugh. "But I'm really happy right now."
Her melodic rendition of Frederic Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G minor, one of two ballades she performed, likely led to her besting Nathan.
After the announcement that Sienna had claimed victory, Mr. Nakamatsu complimented all contestants and talked about the difficulty in selecting a winner when the judges have their own takes on how well each contestant performed.
Mr. Nakamatsu's debut CD in 2008 received high praise from The New York Times' classical music and dance editor, James R. Oestreich, who named it a "Best of the Year" choice.
Ultimately, the famed pianist said he enjoyed his time at the Northeast Pennsylvania showcase.
"It's really wonderful for me to just sit and listen to music and be so inspired and hear such incredible performances," Mr. Nakamatsu told the crowd of about 30 attendees.
Bob Henkelman, chairman of the Philharmonic's piano competition, said the competition has gotten better each time, as it has now become something piano teachers and their students look forward to. Each winner receives an award certificate, a monetary prize and the opportunity to perform at a Philharmonic event.
Mr. Henkelman pointed to the young pianists already competing as finalists in the junior age bracket, as the youngest were a few seventh-grade students.
"To think that we have seventh-graders here that play music like this is kind of astounding," Mr. Henkelman said.
He added, "This is a great crop of kids and a lot of them will go on to study in college and do better things."

Madonna has been feeling the burn in Abu Dhabi [2] but this time it's not her radical exercise regime that's raising the temperature.
The 53-year-old superstar insisted on no air-conditioning for her concert in the desert [3] last night, despite temperatures hitting 104 fahrenheit this week.
Concert organizers warned her that she was in danger of overheating and collapsing but Madge [4] was adamant that she would "feel the heat." This of course did not impact on her cool-factor for the lucky Arabian audience [5].
The global singing sensation is known for practicing yoga in temperatures up to 109 fahrenheit [6].

A mother and son have been sentenced after their courtroom outbursts during a child molesting trial last year.
Michael Sloan, 25, of Edinburgh, had one year added to his 35-year sentence for child molesting for striking and kicking a police officer multiple times after his trial in Johnson Circuit Court.
His mother, Paula Johnson-Smith, 48, of Indianapolis, was given one year probation for making threats to harm the female victim in that case, according to Johnson County deputy prosecutor Joe Villanueva.
Sloan was found guilty of child molesting during a jury trial in October. Johnson-Smith tried to hug her son after the verdict, but they were ordered to stop by the judge and police in the courtroom.
Sloan repeatedly struck and kicked a police officer that tried to separate him from his mother, and police used a Taser to get him under control, Villanueva said.
Johnson-Smith then threatened to kill the victim in the child molesting trial, but the victim was not in the courtroom.
Johnson-Smith had no previous criminal history and was given one year probation with the requirement she continue ongoing psychological counseling, while avoiding any contact with the victim, Villanueva said.

New financial powers for Wales
The Prime Minister confirms further devolution for Wales, including borrowing powers & referendum on income tax.
The Prime Minister confirms further devolution for Wales, including borrowing powers & referendum on income tax.
I understand that some MPs in the government parties are considering the possibility of pushing through plans to transfer tax-varying powers to Wales without a referendum because of what they see as Labour 'intransigence' on the issue. The current plans require a referendum before any such move.
If you want to catch up on the row, and see why Labour thinks the proposal is a politically-motivated 'trap,' click here, here and here. The other parties believe Labour is angry that devolution has been taking out of its hands for the first time.
One Conservative source said that 'intransigence' raises 'serious questions about the way in which fiscal responsibility can be imposed on the Welsh Government' and used the word 'imposed' deliberately. It's controversial even to suggest and is a sign of exasperation on the government benches.
Fire crews have been responding to reports of flash flooding in Carmarthenshire. Some homes have been affected.

Absolutely striking. The symbolic cut highlighted this gorgeous vase is a Celtic cut, a common representation of the symbol with a circle that weaves through three interconnected loops of the Triquetra. The circle emphasizes the unity of the whole combination of the three elements--and it's artistically represented to perfection in this crystal vase. From Waterford Crystal.

Mark Young was told Tuesday morning he would be making the transport run along the same route that changed his life back in June of 2009. That's when while traveling on Highway 264, a vehicle driven by 54-year-old Otis Lee Jones and David Henderson Senior crossed the center line and struck Youngs tractor trailer head on.
Young stopped by the crash scene Tuesday to remember and reflect on the tragic events that happened. Young said it's taken both physical and mental help to heal in the time after the accident--as he wasn't even sure if he could continue the work he's done for so long.
"It's been a long road, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue in this business after 23 years, but I know they wouldn't want me to quit. I never had the honor of meeting these 2 gentlemen personally. That being said, I'll never forget them either, " said Young.
Young also got to thank firefighter Bryan Wallace, who Young says has kept correspondence with him ever since that accident to see how he's been coping.

Hi ladies.Ā Yesterday was my first visit to my doctor's office.Ā I knew I wouldn't be seeing a doctor yet, but still it was kind of a disappointment.Ā I met with the financial people, learned how much I have to pay, that ultrasounds and labwork are extras, and that how much she expects me to pay monthly.Ā OK made it through that to finally meet the nurse.Ā The nurse's attitude was great.Ā I liked her immediately.Ā We discussed any stresses I had, what to expect throughout my visits there, compared my uterus to a balloon (why I already have a little pooch out), and about my modesty.Ā She then ordered labwork.Ā But she didn'tĀorder any hormone testing to see if my pregnancy is moving along nicely.Ā All she ordered was some immunity testing, a normal CBC to see if I am anemic and such.Ā I don't get that!Ā Then I was informed that a doc won't see me until at least 11 weeks!Ā So basically I get to "wait around" for over 4 weeks to see if my pregnancy is going alright.Ā This is definitely not what I expected.Ā =(

Just call and tell them that you're anxious about your levels. It doesn't take them long to order the labs if it will make you feel better. But really, the whole first trimester is a crazy waiting around thing. Good luck with everything!!!
DSĀ Nate(17) ,DS ĀXanderĀ3),Ā DD Quinn 4-15-11
Thanks ladies.┬Ā I guess its because I had no problems with my first DD and she said there was no reason to waste my money.┬Ā *sigh*┬Ā I will try and force myself to┬Ābe patient.┬Ā lol┬Ā If I get too impatient or worried, I will just order the levels to be drawn in our lab.┬Ā
Mommy to Zaylee Breanne, 3-23-07, Kaden Thomas 1-10-12, and Abbigail Anne 6-10-13.
That is what our docs do unless you are having an issue.┬Ā I actually started spotting at 6 weeks.┬Ā They ran blood work to have an idea what was going on then NEVER rechecked my levels.┬Ā I kept asking if they would and they kept saying, "we don't think it is necessary."┬Ā But that is a military doc for you.┬Ā Good Luck.┬Ā I hope everything works out.
With my first, they ordered hormone levels at the first appointment (4.5 weeks) and none after that. They wouldn't even check for the heartbeat until 11 weeks. I got an ultrasound at 11 weeks, but only because I did the NT test.
With my current pregnancy, they said don't bother to come in until 8 weeks or later unless I had spotting.
I've never had my hormone levels checked.┬Ā I did have ultrasounds with both pregnancies (first ds was 8 weeks, this one 7wks) but that is because I had no clue about my lmp.┬Ā Seems to be a surefire way to get an early ultrasound, btw.
Mommy to Aidan (2004) and Owen 2012
Sorry to hear that you dont get any reassurance until later on. But if have had a healthy baby pregnancy before than they are right to wait. I will have an US tomorrow before I even meet with a doc or nurse but my last 2 babies were oth born with defects.
that's how it was with my DD too. i'm seeing a doc next week (i'll be 7 weeks and 4 days) but he will only talk to me about labor (i want to go VBAC) and order general blood work. i doubt he'll even listen for a heart beat until 12 weeks. i know its a bummer. i wasn't on a birth board last time so i didn't realize that so many other women were listening for and seeing their babies so early and so often.┬Ā

Oklahoma couple inspire students with teaching skills and strong marriage
Cheri and Randy Blackwood are an "Inseparable Unit." At least that's how they're known to many of their students. The Blackwoods are teachers at Edmond Santa Fe High School. Cheri, 54, teaches Advanced Placement (AP) chemistry and physics; Randy, 52, teaches pre-AP algebra and AP statistics.
"They're really passionate about making sure that their students really understand something. They're not just teaching to an AP test," said Vivian Chen, 17, a senior at Santa Fe who nominated the Blackwoods to be one of The Oklahoman's Inspiring Couples.
But the Blackwoods don't just teach their students the fundamentals of math and science. They teach them about problem- solving and maintaining a healthy relationship.
"They've shown that even through 30 years, it's still very possible to be committed and still have fun and not just keep their friendship between themselves," Chen said. "They have such respect for each other; they can turn that respect to other people, too."
The Blackwoods have been married for 31 years and have worked together as teachers at Santa Fe for the past eight years. Since their two daughters have graduated from college, both with degrees in engineering, the Blackwoods say they have more time and energy than ever to spend on developing their students.
"We're not tied between having to share our time with our kids at home and share our time with the kids at school. They've kind of developed into our family the last several years," Randy Blackwood said of the students.
In spring, the Blackwoods often spend up to 60 hours per week working with their students. That's when First Robotics competitions occupy much of their time.
The couple lead the school's robotics team. In January, the competition begins, and the team learns what that season's challenge will be. The next six-and-a-half weeks are spent building a robot.
"One of the things that we noticed, even nationwide, is the lack of kids who want to go into engineering — who want to go into the math and science field," Cheri Blackwood said. "First Robotics is about making available to kids opportunities to develop skills to make them successful in these engineering fields, to make them the next inventors."
It's all about problem- solving, the couple said.
"There's something about practicing learning to think creatively and trying to look at a weird abstract problem and to come up with a solution, knowing there's more than one way to attack it," Randy Blackwood said.
It could be those advanced problem-solving skills that have helped the Blackwoods maintain a long-lasting and healthy marriage.
"Just like our project, not everything that Cheri and I do, do we totally agree on. We do have our disagreements, but we know how to do it in a format that's not too confrontational, and it's not demeaning," Randy Blackwood said.
Being an "Inseparable Unit," as some of their students call them, the Blackwoods said that the sheer amount of time they spend together has a lot to do with why they get along so well.
"It's just the way we are. In fact, when Vivian nominated us for this, we were completely surprised. We weren't really aware of the kind of impact we were having on kids in this way. So we've kind of had to step back and think about that," Cheri Blackwood said.
And since many of their students have parents who are divorced, the Blackwoods realize that the example they set of a healthy marriage could be the only one some of their students see.
Their tips for maintaining a strong, long-lasting marriage?
They attribute much of their success to their strong faith. They are Christians and sing in the choir at First Presbyterian Church of Edmond.
Randy Blackwood believes that not sweating the small stuff is important in their relationship. For example, he said that one of them might get annoyed with the other for small things, such as not squeezing the toothpaste right or being a bit messy in certain areas.
"It's just things that we've just kind of learned to accept, because being together is more important to us than the little things that kind of irk us, I guess," he said.
And Cheri Blackwood said it's their communication that she appreciates. When one of them needs to vent, that person just says, "OK, I just need to vent." And the other knows that his or her job is just to listen and be understanding.
"Because we're both science and math people, we tend to want to offer solutions for everything," she said.
It is for their passion for each other, their students and their faith that Randy and Cheri Blackwood were chosen as one of The Oklahoman's Inspiring Couples.
Editor's note
Cheri and Randy Blackwood are featured in the "Oklahoma's Most Inspiring Couples" 2010 calendar, sponsored by the Oklahoma Marriage Initiative. Couples featured in the calendar are being profiled in The Oklahoman's Life section each month.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Pretty good.
Good sound quality, and the removable sound disk thing is really nice. But the headband isn't adjustable at all, which is quite disappointing. There is also a small amount of sound leakage, so people who are around you might be able to hear your music if you like to blast your music or if the atmosphere is quite. But they're good on the slopes, and the price is good, don't buy them for any more than this.

The popular Travel Medicine Service clinic at the University of Washington Medical Center will close May 17 to make way for an expansion of the hospital's emergency department.
The walls of Dr. Russell McMullen's office at the University of Washington Medical Center are covered in postcards showing galloping zebras, stalking leopards and towering peaks such as Aconcagua in Argentina.
And then there's the box of bottles — filled with preserved intestinal worms and the particularly nasty botfly maggots, which can flourish underneath human skin.
These are patient mementos McMullen has collected over 25 years working at the hospital's popular Travel Medicine Service clinic, which opened in the early 1980s. McMullen and his co-workers are coming to terms with news the clinic will close May 17 to make way for an expansion of the hospital's emergency department.
The clinic logs between 4,000 and 5,000 patient visits each year. People traveling to developing countries get vaccinations and counseling on how to stay healthy in places where they might be exposed to malaria, dengue fever and a host of other diseases. McMullen also treats travelers who return home with exotic illnesses, some of which get misdiagnosed by other doctors.

Most Read Stories
The patients he sees come from a variety of backgrounds, including those who work in Seattle's thriving global-health field, volunteers hoping to make a difference in poorer countries, technology-company representatives setting up outsourcing operations, even cruise-ship travelers.
McMullen said most visits are covered by patients' health insurance and the clinic always has broken even financially or made a small surplus.
"I think that the clinic had a really special place here in the university system and in the Seattle community," said Sandy Murray, a registered nurse who has worked there for about 10 years. "I've always thought of it as the place to get pre-travel care."
Tina Mankowski, a spokeswoman for UW Medicine, said the hospital needs the clinic's space and that patients will find it more convenient to get their travel needs met at one of six UW community clinics located throughout King County.
In a draft of a letter to be sent to patients next week, the UW writes, "We want to assure you that travel-medicine specialists will continue to be available to you within the UW Medicine health system."
UW Medicine has promised the clinic's staff will be offered other work within the UW system.
Attending the clinic last Friday was James Piper, 17, a junior at Juanita High School who plans to travel to Ethiopia with a church group this summer. He'll be working with children who are suffering from HIV/AIDS or whose family members have the disease.
Piper got three shots Friday — one for Hepatitis A, one for typhoid and one for yellow fever. McMullen told Piper the importance of following the instructions for his malaria medicine by taking it only on a full stomach. McMullen told the story of one doctor who'd gone to Ghana to do volunteer work and who'd suffered gastrointestinal bleeding because he didn't read the instructions.
"He ended up a patient at his own hospital," McMullen said. Piper promised he'd follow the instructions.
Despite dealing with all sorts of odd cases, McMullen said he's only gotten sick once while traveling himself — it was diarrhea, and it happened, ironically enough, while he was attending a conference on travel diseases.
"It was after eating an expensive snail dinner," McMullen said. "In Paris."

"Getting around" Top 5 Page for this destination Norfolk Island Transportation Tip by iandsmith
Norfolk Island Transportation: 7 reviews and 5 photos
There are two schools of thought about Norfolk - (a) you don't need a car; (b) you do need a car. I subscribe to the latter.
Though the island is only 8 kilometres by about four, you'll miss out on a lot if you don't have a vehicle. There's many a lookout at the end of a dead end street, there's interesting places that you'll have no access to if you don't have one.
Mind you, the islanders know that too which is why there's a lot of hire car companies for such a small island!
Ours came as part of a package and was waiting for us when we arrived at our accommodation and we were able to leave it at the airport without checking it back out again.
In fact, when you're on Norfolk, no-one bothers to lock their car. The easiest job on the island is being a policeman.

Hm… You know, starters have their purpose. In R&B your choose generally sets the difficulty. Bulbasaur made everything relative easy, you defeated first and second gym with ease. The only real challenge was the seventh gym with fire Pokemon. Oh, and the fifth because bulbasaur and family are secondary poison types. Charamander gives you trouble at the start, first and second gym were pain and unless you have Charizard the ground types from Giovanni will be a pain too. And if you were very tough, you chose Squirtle. First gym is easy. Second gym sucks, third gym sucks, fourth gym sucks. And no matter what you did choose, your rival got the better one.
In Yellow your rival got his eevee. Depending on how much you sucked against him he envolves it. When you loose all the time, he will get vaporeon and it will be easier for you. If you win all the time, he gets jolteon and your Pikachu can't do much against it.
To sum it up, I think rival should at least be have the better starter, uninteresting how he got it. The game needs to force the player to try, right? ^^

SPOTLIGHT: Teacher helps teens with style
BLOOMINGTON, Ill. (AP) — Four years ago, a Bloomington High School student asked a teacher to stop bugging her about prom. She couldn't afford a dress, so she wouldn't be going.
English teacher and senior adviser Gloria McElwain wasn't deterred: She got that girl a dress and she went to the dance.
The story got around. Since then, McElwain and various volunteers have given away 370 dresses to BHS students for homecoming and prom, even weddings.
The effort, now known as BHS Bloomington House of Style, has grown to include attire for boys; McElwain also has helped some people with clothes for State Farm Insurance Cos. internships.
"We had many, many students who weren't attending homecoming and hesitant to attend prom because they couldn't afford the attire. So, we began collecting donations of gently-used formal dresses from people," said McElwain.
Several other high schools, including Normal Community and Tri-Valley, have similar programs for homecoming or prom, and business is brisk right now with homecoming season in full swing: Homecoming dances are this weekend at BHS, NCHS, Tri-Valley and Olympia; Central Catholic's is next weekend. Normal West and University High have had their homecomings.
McElwain estimates the average prom dress costs $230. Some girls choose to get a dress at BHS, not just because of the cost, but also because they aren't comfortable shopping elsewhere, she said. Volunteer students, who help display and sort the dresses, also act as personal shoppers for students wanting some help.
"I just love to see the girls' faces when they find the perfect dress," said Ginny McElwain, a BHS student and daughter of the program's founder.
"It's fun to dress up," added Gloria McElwain, noting that red and pink seem to be the most popular colors this year. There is a current need for dresses in the middle sizes.
Bloomington House of Style currently has about 120 dresses in stock, and continues to accept donations for future events. Last year, 56 dresses were given away for homecoming and prom. The dresses are free, and students can decide if they want to keep them or pass them on.
And, the effort keeps expanding.
Along with adding more clothing for boys, an accessory line with purses, gloves and jewelry is growing.
The biggest addition is the conversion of a former BHS office to the House of Style headquarters that will include dress racks and tables to display other items, and a new changing area. Construction is expected to be finished in November.
Donations of all dress sizes are welcome and can left at the main BHS office.
Other schools
At NCHS, teachers Vicki Kobel and Heather Budak, who are sisters, helped organize a dress donation program called NCHS Wishes that provides formal clothing for prom.
"They advertise and allow students to peruse their inventory and take what they would like," said NCHS principal Dave Bollman.
Starting in January, the program likely will expand to include donations from students as well as staff for the first time, he said.
At Tri-Valley in Downs, the effort is less publicized, but still valued by students. Kristin Myers, an agriculture and science teacher, quietly started a free dress-giving program when she became aware that some students skipped homecoming or prom because they didn't have anything to wear.
"It's very clear at Tri-Valley a lot of students 'have' and a few don't," said Myers, the junior class sponsor.
Since then, the program has grown to serve others, including students with different priorities than spending $200 for a dress for one night. Some students would rather use the money for college savings, or to buy something that means more to them, she said. "It's not just based on need now," she said.
She has about 40 dresses, and pays for the cleaning to get them ready for students. There also are items for boys.
When a student asked Myers why she goes to the trouble, she said, "I just want you to experience prom."

Continuous medical research for anti aging skin care has provided new and effective ways to keep your skin looking youthful.
