"Architecture, Astronomy and ... Gingerbreads" Top 5 Page for this destination Torun by Skeptic-jr
Torun Travel Guide: 246 reviews and 468 photos
Without any doubts Torun is the one of the most beautiful Polish cities. Althought its roots are rather not only Polish...
The town was founded in 1233 by Crusaders, who were the order of monks-knights. After some failures in Palestine they have been invited by some of Central-European rulers. One of Polish princes also invited them for evangelize "pagans".
But after exteminating a few Prus people tribes thay created their own state and moved against Poland (divided in that time in many small princedoms and tried hard to unite) and other neighbors.
Under the Crusadres' rule the town had castle and became an important trade center and the member of Hanza (the union of trade cities and ports from German seaboard).
Torun was also one of centers of Polish resistance against the Crusaders. Its culmination was an
uprising against the order in 1454 which was the beginning of Polish-Crusaders 13-years war. As war's results Poland incorporated one part of Crusaders' state (with Torun) and the rest become a fief of Polish kings.
From the beginning the city was developing quickly. Just after its founding, in 1264, they located the New Town. In the contrary to the Old one its residents were not merchants and the richests craftsmen, but rather poorer of them.
For Poles Torun besides gorgeous architecture and great universities always reminds honey-cakes and famous astronomer Kopernik.
From 1997 historical center of Torun is on the UNESCO list.
I have been to the city a few times, but unfortunately those visits had been usually just "sliddings" in the old center of Torun. But it is for sure the most interesting part of the city for tourist, especially if they are from abroad. Even if they (you) will only slide like me, you still can have a breath of its atmosphere, taking back home gingerbreads in the box formed as it was a one of famous Torun's building.

Shhhhh! Wanna know a secret? Many characters in this month's selections guard their privacy whether it's because of shady business buried in their past or plunging into a marital affair. The gossip-worthy secrets may threaten a life or cause inner guilt, but they certainly add spice to this month's novels by established African American authors.

Several family members play a part in this month's selections, and they may alternate being loving, dysfunctional, or ultimately loyal. Sometimes they mean well but stick their noses into the protagonists' romantic plans. Other times they can be a pain—deadbeat dads and eager-to-give-free-advice aunts and uncles—that won't go away. No matter what, it's good to know somebody you grew up with has your back.

MUNICH, Oct 15 (Reuters) - The euro is trading within arelatively normal band in foreign exchange markets at themoment, European Central Bank Executive Board member Peter Praetsaid on Tuesday, indicating it is not a great worry for thecentral bank.
Praet, who has the powerful economics portfolio within hisremit, also said that U.S. budget problems were not affectingthe central bank's monetary policy yet.
"We are in a relative normal range in euro foreign exchangerate," Praet told reporters after a speech at the BavarianEconomic Club.
However, he added that the ECB looked at foreign exchangerates as part of its regular inflation assessment.
"We look at all elements that could push inflation evenlower," he said, adding that foreign exchange rate was one ofthose factors.
Turning to the U.S. budget situation, where even sovereigndebt default has been brought into play, he said that thesituation was worrying but had not had any impact on the ECB'sactions.
"I don't see for the time being any impact from the U.S. onour monetary policy ... it's marginal and we hope it will besettled."
Praet added that he was confident that a solution would befound. But he also repeated ECB President Mario Draghi's words,saying that if no solution is found, it would have catastrophicconsequences.
"We are always ready for all situations," Praet added. "Wewill react if necessary," and would act to ensure that inflationin the euro zone does not veer too far from the target of justbelow 2 percent.
Praet said that the ECB sees subdued price pressures. "Thatextends into the medium term - this means also 2015," he said,but added that the ECB would not provide an exact estimatebefore the next round of staff projections is published inDecember.
Asked whether the ECB could provide more long-term loans forbanks, he repeated that that was one of the options, but saidthat the ECB would make sure they chose the right option, ifany.
"Before we activate them, we want to be sure that we addressthe right problem."
Praet added that it was not easy to link providing long-termloans to bank lending. At the same time, the ECB was lookinginto the "cliff effect" when the loans expire in early 2015,Praet said.
The ECB provided commercial banks more than 1 trillion eurosin three-year loans in late 2011 and early 2012. More than athird of that has been paid back early, but banks especially inperipheral countries have hung onto the loans and could face aliquidity crunch when the loans expire.

Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan and Shabana Azmi are "pained", "shocked" and "sad" at Sunday's attack on a gurdwara in a Milwaukee suburb in the US. They have expressed condolences to the victims.
The attack in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, left seven people dead, including the shooter.
Hindi cine stars, upset with the attack on religious sects, took to Twitter to share their thoughts. Here's what they had to say:
Amitabh Bachchan: What is happening in US? Another shooting of innocents! And inside a temple, a gurdwara! Pained and shocked beyond words. Prayers for those affected.
Anupam Kher: Attack and killing of innocent people in a gurdwara in America is a sad and cowardly act. My heartfelt condolence to the families of victims.
Shabana Azmi: We condemn the loss of innocent lives at Sikh gurdwara, Wisconsin and pray for the swift recovery of injured. When will this madness end? Attacks at houses of worship (Wisconsin) must be condemned by all. This type of crime strikes at the very foundation of religious freedom.
Sophie Choudry: Absolutely shocked about the Wisconsin gurdwara shooting! Prayers and condolences. Cinemas, college campuses and now temples... Is no place safe?
Onir: Anguished at the gurdwara shootout in US. When will race/religion/gender hate crime stop. Once again we see the worst aspect of human beings.
Pooja Bedi: Shocked and saddened by the shootout at Milwaukee gurdwara! Strength to victims' families. I hope his sentencing is severe and swifter than Kasab's!
Vishal Dadlani: What on earth is wrong with this world? Why are people just killing innocent people for no reason?

Cool Godzilla design.
I honestly like your version of the feet better than what they had in the movie. Feels like it makes a lot more sense and looks better.
I completely agree, the foot design the film chose makes no sense to me as an aquatic reptile. This design looks more natural and realistic. Not only the feet though, the 'hands' in the new film have thumbs which I feel is a stupid idea, and this design has a much better reptile feel, without thumbs.
well the foot needs to be large and wide like sauropods or else if the sauropod has chicken legs it would be crushed by its own weight
Saw the movie, was really good
I always enjoy seeing individual ideas for Godzilla. Nice blend of the old and new here.
Very cool take on G.

I have installed the latest php version on my mountain lion system using these instructions (http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/server/upgrading-the-native-php-installation-on-os-x-mountain-lion/). I even put /usr/local/bin first in my path variable, so when I run php -v at the command line I get php v5.4.x The problem is that when I run a simple script (with the phpinfo() function inside) the page tells me that I am running the old 5.3.x php version that comes pre-installed with mac os mountain lion. I even tried to restart apache, but the problem remains. Any ideas on this one? Thank you.
That tutorial you followed is a bit dangerous. It seems it tells you to replace the default X11 with a new one, which is a really bad unnecessary idea.
Where did you change your local variable? If you used .profile or .bash_profile it is only valid for your user. To affect all users you need to change /etc/paths. But I don't think it has anything to do with the PATH var.
Regarding your question, this means Apache is not loading the correct PHP module. (libphp5.so)
Check the creation date of
If it predates your build time, then it was not replaced.

Antiques, electronics stolen from home
SILVER SPRINGS — Antiques, electronics, vintage recordings and other valuables were reported stolen Tuesday from a home that has been uninhabited since 2004.
Sheriff's deputies said the home on Northeast 171st Court was being checked on by its owner, who is from California.
The victim said a Ben Franklin wood burning stove, multiple record players and phonographs, eight-track tape players and vintage records, and at least 24 transistor radios, along with the kitchen counter-top and aluminum sheds and doors, were missing.
Anyone with information can call the Sheriff's Office at 732-9111 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.
Police: Man with past DUIs found passed out
SILVER SPRINGS — A man convicted three times of DUI was cited a fourth time for the offense after he was found passed out Tuesday in front of a home for sale, police say.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office received a call about a man lying on the porch of a vacant home in the 1100 block of Southeast 172nd Avenue.
Deputy Gary Miller found Roy Goins, 48, asleep on the porch with a half-empty 750ml bottle of Fleischmann's Royal Vodka bottle next to him. He woke Goins, who first said he lived there, then later said he was homeless.
After being told he was too intoxicated to ride his bicycle, Goins said he was going to lie down in the woods and sober up. As the deputy was clearing the call, he saw Goins peddling away. He stopped Goins, who refused to participate in a field sobriety exercise, and arrested him and took him to the Marion County Jail, where Goins refused to submit to a breath test. He was charged with DUI and refusal to submit to the test.
Woman accused of stabbing boyfriend
CITRA — A woman who told deputies she stabbed her boyfriend so she could do drugs was arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated battery and possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony.
Arriving in the 2400 block of Northeast 167th Place shortly before 2 a.m., deputies found a man lying in the yard who told them he didn't "want to die."
Medical personnel took the man to Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville with a stab wound to the stomach.
A witness told deputies the victim's girlfriend, Sheryl Kunze, 40, had gotten a knife from the kitchen and later left the area with a different man.
Deputies found Kunze, who told them her boyfriend had grabbed her shoulders and she stabbed him.
The man who left with Kunze told them he and the victim got into a physical altercation and he was asked to leave, so he did. He said he later saw Kunze, who told him she had stabbed her boyfriend.
Kunze was arrested.
The injured man was listed in fair condition at Shands.
Woman accused of shoplifting clothes
A woman's reported affinity for an adrenalin rush from stealing landed her in jail Tuesday, charged with retail grand theft.
An employee at Bealls at 9598 SW 114th St. told Deputy Roderic Marques that surveillance video showed a woman selecting clothing, jewelry, shoes and other items and placing them in a shopping cart. Some clothing was stuffed in a handbag.
The woman, identified as Michelle Osteen, 45, left the store without paying and was stopped by the loss prevention officer, who called the Sheriff's Office.
Osteen had 23 pieces of jewelry, three pairs of shoes, 15 items of clothing and a handbag in her possession, together valued at $1,214.80, according to the arrest report.
Osteen told Marques she does such things as stealing and other acts for the adrenalin rush, the report noted.
Osteen was taken to the Marion County Jail and was released at 1:24 a.m. Wednesday on $2,000 bond.

Man shot buy deputy moved to Marion Jail
A man charged Tuesday with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer was moved from the Alachua County Jail to the Marion County Jail on Wednesday.
Roger Damms, 53, had been at Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville after being shot twice Sunday by Deputy John Lightle.
Deputies responded to Damms' home after receiving a call about a man firing two rounds from a shotgun into the air and threatening to commit suicide.
According to a witness, Lightle arrived to see Damms on the porch holding a shotgun under his chin. He told him numerous times drop the weapon.
Damms lowered the shotgun in the direction of the deputy, who fired at least two shots.
As in all deputy-involved shootings, an investigation is being conducted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The FDLE report will be reviewed by the State Attorney's Office. Sheriff's Office supervisors will review the case to see if the action violated any department policy. Lightle is currently on paid leave.
Teens on spring break rescue 2 in burning car
PALM COAST — Deputies say two Michigan teens on spring break in north Florida pulled two people from a burning car following a crash.
The Flagler County Sheriff's Office says Cody Decker and Luke Vaughn, both 17, saw a vehicle crash and catch fire seconds after it sped past them on Tuesday.
Deputies say the teens pulled 42-year-old Carlos Adams and 44-year-old Tracy Lopez from the burning 2002 Jaguar. One of the teens broke the glass and bent the door frame to get the couple out.
Flagler County Sheriff Donald W. Fleming says their quick action likely saved the couple.

This is to address what Dan Blackburn said in his letter to the editor ("Town functions better than homeowner groups," June 23).
Where have you been the last two years? We settled the matter of our White River Township becoming a "City of Center Grove." An estimated 90 percent of us like the services that Johnson County and White River Township provides.
The matter went to the Indiana Legislature, and the matter was settled in favor of the 90 percent who do not want to become a city, thanks to John Price, our newly elected representative.
Also, homeowners associations have absolutely nothing to do with whether you live in a city or not. Where would you ever get the idea they were connected?
You chose to live in that kind of a neighborhood when you purchased your house.
I for one would never ever buy a house where I had to say "Mother May I" every time I wanted to put up a gazebo, paint my house, etc. I know someone who lives in an addition where they have a little old lady driving around every day to enforce their "No Dandelion" tolerance rules. And they are fined if one has popped up over night! That is like living under real tyranny.
But you chose to live in that environment. Making this area a city will not change that for you.

RANDLE — Road No. 25, a major north-south route through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, is not expected to reopen to through traffic until July due to a $1.3-million bridge replacement at Benham Creek.
The road connects between Pine Creek Information Station at Swift Reservoir on the south over Elk Pass to the Cowlitz Valley near Randle in Lewis County.
Elk Pass, at 4,090 feet elevation, normally is not free of snow until June, so the disruption to through travel should be minimal.
A massive landslide came down Benham Creek draw in January of 2009, destroying the bridge at milepost 13.5 on road No. 25. The bridge was replaced later in 2009 with a one-land temporary steel truss bridge.
The replacement bridge will be two lanes and set on abutments to withstands slides.
CP Construction of Oakland, Ore., is the contractor.
"The goal is to have it open to forest visitors by the Fourth of July weekend," said Craig Sanders, a federal engineer.

Garlow And Staver: Gay Marriage Is a Fight Against An "Antichrist Spirit"
On Sunday evening, Jim Garlow held the second of three scheduled Pray and Act webcasts heading into the mid-term election. Unlike the first event, which was broadcast live by GodTV, this webcast contained footage that was shot ahead of time, mostly at the Values Voter Summit, and webcast by the American Family Association.
Among the participants in this second webcast were the AFA Don Wildmon, Maggie Gallagher, Richard Land, Ken Blackwell, Lance Wallnau, and Lou Engle ... and I have to say that it was shockingly dull.
In fact, the only exchange worth highlighting from the entire hour and a half was this one between Garlow and Mat Staver of the Liberty Counsel discussing how the fight against gay marriage is really a fight against an "Antichrist Spirit":
Garlow: If in reality the homosexual portion of the population is only 3-5%, then it seems to me they have linked up in a profound way with many others who are not homosexual. And I'm not referring to the homosexual who may be the nice one who lives next door; I'm talking about people who are committed to a radical homosexual agenda, they have been able to link up with a number of other groups and the result is that it's almost like an Antichrist spirit, almost a capacity to silence the Gospel from being proclaimed. Is that an overstatement?
Staver: It's not an overstatement. You're having a confluence of different people who don't necessarily have the same ideas. They may not be homosexual but it is an anti-Christian viewpoint; it's a very militaristic anti-Christian viewpoint. Atheists are becoming more militaristic, the National Organization for Women, the pro-abortion organizations, and others as well are combing together because they have a common cause and that common cause is anti-Christian.

My story has just appeared again – this time in the Chemist and Druggist magazine/ website – aimed at chemists & doctors.
Still painful to read – but I do hope this raises awareness – that migraines are not just a headache but I also hope it brings hope to others whom are walking in my shoes – that migraine management is possible x
Tracey Wilson clearly remembers her first severe migraine. "You don't forget your first one," says the 44-year-old mother of four. "I was 18. I was at a school in Kent that had a river running through it with a little bridge. I started walking onto the bridge and my eyesight went. By the time I had walked across, I was in full migraine."
Tracey was no stranger to migraines, having suffered from the condition since the age of 12. But this attack was far more dramatic than any of her previous experiences. She started to see spots, her vision became blurred like static on a television screen, and the right side of her body became numb.
Although she did not know what was happening at the time, Tracey was taken to the doctor the next day, who told her she was suffering from severe migraines. She was given an OTC treatment and sent on her way.
Years passed and Tracey learned to manage her migraines. They became predictable and often coincided with her period. "I knew that as soon as my hand went numb, if I wasn't in a dark room with a pink and yellow tablet in 20 minutes, then a horse would start kicking from the inside," says Tracey. "But 24 hours later I would be fine."
Spotting the pattern meant her life was no longer dictated by migraines and she managed to get a job as a project manager at accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers in London.
A gruelling setback
But all this changed at the age of 36, when Tracey went into labour with her twin girls Charlotte and Georgia. After a caesarean procedure, she suffered from a haemorrhage, which the doctors were luckily able to stem. The ordeal seemed to trigger a reaction in Tracey, though: she found herself unable to sleep and started to experience distressing symptoms.
"It was like the top of my head had gone numb. And then my left side had gone [numb], and I was too ill to explain what was happening," says Tracey. At the time, the specialists believed it was a stroke and said she would recover within six months. But the months passed and Tracey was still suffering similar attacks.
Tracey didn't connect the symptoms with her migraines at first because they were so different – the attacks lasted for more than 24 hours, left Tracey numb and were not accompanied by a headache.
But the severity of her symptoms meant she had to seek help. "I was bedbound for a couple of months – housebound for four years. My whole life stopped," she remembers.
It was her GP who eventually diagnosed Tracey with hemiplegic migraines with persistent aura. The aura, Tracey says, is the worst part of a migraine. It starts off as a feeling of detachment from her environment – she then becomes numb on her left side, and is unable to think and speak clearly.
Luckily, Tracey's GP understood how debilitating the symptoms were. She put her in touch with the support group and charity Migraine Action and Tracey was able to begin taking medication to manage the condition.
The right medicine
Finding the right medication was a difficult process. Tracey tried almost everything to manage her symptoms – antidepressants, epilepsy drugs, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, nerve injections, DHE infusions, Topamax [topiramate] and even Flunatizine, which isn't licensed to treat migraine in this country. But her efforts were to no avail.
Some medication had a negative impact on her health. Unsurprisingly, the severity of her migraines meant Tracey suffered from moments of depression. But when she took topiramate, this worsened to the extent that she had suicidal thoughts.
Help eventually came in the form of an experimental treatment. "I was in the right place at the right time when my doctor asked if I wanted to be part of the Botox trials," says Tracey. This involved injecting migraine patients with Botox in a bid to relieve symptoms – a technique that provided Tracey with much-needed relief.
Because Botox was the only way to control her symptoms, Tracey made it part of her treatment about three years ago. She began injections every 12 weeks in the head, neck, forehead and shoulders. It was an expensive solution – costing around £600 per round of injections – but Tracey believes they were worth it, despite her health insurance not covering the costs.
"I couldn't get it on the NHS, but the thought of going backwards was awful, so we [my husband and I] just went for it, pooled our resources and paid for about three rounds," she says.
Learning to cope
Tracey's migraines are by no means gone – she still has around 15 days of headaches with aura per month – but she has learned how to manage them as best she can.
As well as the Botox treatment, Tracey takes magnesium citrates, zinc, multivitamins and the odd dose of OTC painkillers when the pain is particularly severe. Tracey has learned to slow down when her symptoms begin and she keeps a diary to record how much pain she is in.
She has also learned to avoid triggers. For her, this includes "over-stimuli", and anything that affects the senses – perfumes, cleaning chemicals, soaps, bleach and petrol, for example, or even the weather. "I've changed my diet, I've changed my life and my home. Everything," says Tracey.
Tracey wears sunglasses 90 per cent of the time to avoid sunlight,and has even repainted the walls in her house from a bright white to a duller beige so that her eyes feel more comfortable. She is still identifying triggers for her migraines and does not believe she will ever stop.
She describes migraine as "a very cruel illness" that has completely disrupted her life. "Migraines ended my city job, ended my business and, two years ago, they ended my marriage," she says.
"I think I'm resigned to never getting better. I'm never going to be back to where I was before. So it really is just a case of looking at how you live and tweaking it. What do you do with your day that doesn't tip you over the edge."
Talking therapy
This realisation prompted Tracey to start the online forum Migraine Talk three years ago to share experiences and advice on managing migraines. Tracey feels she was often let down by specialists who just passed her medicines.
"I want to encourage people not to just pop a pill. Look at alternatives, look at triggers. Migraines aren't cured, they are managed, and each person manages migraines in a different way," she says.
Her experience with topiramate was a particular driving force behind starting Migraine Talk. Tracey, who read the side effects of the drug prior to taking it, warns that not everyone is able to recognise the impact of medicines on the body and she wants to educate and help people taking medicines such as these. "For those who are naturally inclined to depression, the effects of the drug will knock them over the head. At Migraine Talk, we've prevented two suicides that I know of, and we lose people all the time," she says.
Her final words will resonate with anyone who has ever suffered from the condition – only to discover how misunderstood it is: "Migraines are not just a headache."
|5 steps to helping migraine sufferers
Andrew Dowson is the chairman of Migraine in Primary Care Advisors (MIPCA), and director of the headache service at King's College London Hospital
1. Identify triggers
Migraine sufferers can regain some control over their condition by identifying triggers. By helping patients work out if there are any common factors causing an attack, pharmacists enable them to reduce the incidence of migraine, says Dr Dowson.
2. Advise on preventative treatment
Pharmacists can recommend treatments that act to prevent migraine to patients with regular attacks. Taking Vitamin D2, magnesium or a low dose of aspirin every day can work as a preventative measure, Dr Dowson says.
3. Recommend rescue medication
If a patient is struggling to treat the attacks when they happen, the first thing to check is whether their dosage of medication is correct. The digestive process is less efficient in a migraine, meaning high doses of painkillers are necessary, Dr Dowson says.
4. Not all painkillers are the same
For mild to moderate migraine, aspirin and NSAIDs such as ibuprofen in large doses, paracetamol plus domperidone or aspirin or paracetamol plus metoclopramide are all recommended – preferably taken as early on as possible. Ibuprofen is probably superior to paracetamol, says Dr Dowson, and fast-acting ibuprofen – sodium, lyseine and arginine – works better than the conventional form. For more severe migraine, triptans are recommended.
5. Be careful with codeine
Doctors usually advise patients to avoid codeine, which "tends to make headaches get more frequent in many patients", according to Dr Dowson, as it is often overused.

Thoonk is a persistent (and fast!) system for push feeds, queues, and jobs which leverages Redis. Thoonk follows a contract (schema + behavior) to allow multiple languages and custom implementations to interact reliably.
Thoonk is a persistent (and fast!) framework for Redis backed live data and objects, such as push feeds, queues, and jobs.
Thoonk lets you create a Model whose methods are mapped to Redis Lua scripts, and can listen for and emit events using Redis pubsub channels.
Since all of the actual logic for the model is written in Lua, Thoonk wrappers
for other languages can be written which can interoperate with
such as the Python version
npm install thoonk
By itself, Thoonk is just a small framework for marshalling and setting up subscriptions and loading Lua scripts into Redis. To see Thoonk in action you will want to look at the examples for how to build a Thoonk backed model.
First, we create our model definition in
var ThoonkInterface = require'thoonk'ThoonkBaseInterface; // Link the HelloWorld object to a thoonk connection. ThoonkInterfacecallthis thoonk; ObjectcreateThoonkInterfaceprototype; // Set a unique type name for our HelloWorld model 'helloworld'; // Specify where to load Lua scripts from for our model __dirname + '/scripts'; thisrunScript'greet' firstName lastName cb; ; callHelloWorldprototype; moduleexports = HelloWorld;
Then we create the Lua script we need in
local firstName, lastName = unpack(ARGV); return "Hello, " .. firstName .. " " .. lastName;
And finally, when we want to use our HelloWorld model:
var thoonk = require'thoonk'createClient;var HelloWorld = require'helloworld'; thoonkregisterInterface'HelloWorld' HelloWorld // All scripts have been loaded and event subscriptions initialized. var hello = thoonkobjectsHelloWorld; hellogreet'Arthur' 'Dent' if err console.errorerr; else console.logresult; // >>> Hello, Arthur Dent ;;

I also lost 20lbs when pregnant with my 2nd child. I was overweight to begin with and my pregnancy caused me to eat differently. I was always hungry and ate 5 to 6 meals a day, but I got full really quick so I didn't eat much at meal time. Also, I hated certain smells, like fried foods and I stayed away from them. I craved popscicles and salads. I was concerned about my continued weight loss and asked my doctor about it. He wasn't concerened and told me that just as long as I'm eating and taking my prenatal vitamins my baby is getting the nutrition that she needs. He said that she was greedy and taking it all for herself, lol. In the end I now have a beautiful healthy baby girl who weighed 7lbs and 8oz. Perfect!posted 11/24/2008 by sumthinsweeet78
This is my 3rd. Extreeme hyperemesis with all. Multiple ER visits and Hospital stays with each. My first 110lbs before to 95lbs 170lbs at birth with a 8lbs 13oz girl. Second, 120lbs pre to 110lbs. 170lbs at birth with a 9lbs 8oz boy. Both induced at 42 weeks. That was 10 and 8 years ago. I started this one at 165. After 3 Er visits and 7 days in hospital I weighed 141 at 9 1/2 weeks. Now it's 15 weeks. I'm on Zofran and Reglan to control sickness. I'm showing where I was at 5 to 6 months with prior two but still only weigh 145lbs. 20lbs lighter than I started. I've had 3 sonagrams and "peanut" is very healthy. I've learned they are all different in some ways as you are physically and emotionally different each time. Trust your doctor. That's what they are trained for. They know every woman and pregnancy is different and they know what to look for. Reneeposted 11/16/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I think it's normal for some women to lose weight. With all 3 babies I lost about 20 lbs. And then did not gain any weight until about the last 2 months when I gain back the 20 lbs. and then about an extra 20.posted 10/29/2008 by LaDonnaB.
When I was pregnant I lost a total of 40 lbs. during the first 20 weeks and my daughter was born very healthy and is still healthy! I would just encourage you to eat what you can and take your vitamins. I had troble eating now and then but I always made sure I drank plenty of liquds, expectially milk.posted 10/22/2008 by socarmela
With my last pregnancy I was sick the entire time... I lost 34 lbs and only the last couple weeks gained 7 lbs back. The Dr just kept a close watch and my baby came out perfect! She was 6lbs 10 oz. She's 9 months now and is doing fine. I'm 24 weeks pregnant now and haven't gained back the 20 I lost in the beginning so I think if your Dr just watches you, you and your baby will be great!! Good luck!posted 10/20/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I am almost 11 weeks now and the weight loss is starting to level off. I lost 15 pounds in the first six weeks and another seven since due to morning sickness. Seems like a lot but I was pretty heavy to begin with. My doctor isn't worried yet about the baby but keeps prescribing medicines for nausea. I won't take them because I am afraid to take medicines while pregnant. I started doing better when I started wearing sea bands on my wrists. They have been a big help. Sometimes they slip out of place while I sleep and I wake up very sick. At least I know they are helping. I wear them 24 hours a day except while in the shower. My baby is measuring perfect for gestational age right now. As long as that is true I won't worry, just continue to eat as healthy as possible whenever I can keep something down.posted 10/16/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
During my second pregancy I didnt gain any weight and actually lost 5 pounds by the end of week 40. My doctor was concerned at first but I explained to her that I was eating a lot but was only eating organic foods. She measured my stomach and I was measuring where I needed to. When my final sonogram was done to ensure that the baby was growing well my daughter was were she needed to be. She weighed 7lbs 8oz when she was born and healthy.posted 10/02/2008 by msjenlopez
I'm 15 weeks and have lost 22 pounds, I was sick the entire first month and now I just feel nauseated most of the day, makes it hard to eat a whole lot. I've seen two different doctors and neither one of them are concerned about it, they both told me the baby is getting the nutrients it needs, and the heart beat is strong.posted 09/28/2008 by chelley84
I am 20 weeks and have lost 17 pounds so far. I am overweight so my doctor said it is fine. Check with your own doctor though. None of us are experts. Make sure to talk to him. Good luck.posted 09/24/2008 by jennifer1983_2001
No matter what anyone says you should ask your doctor about it. I lost 20lbs my first trimester with my daughter and didn't start to show until I was around 7months. However I gave birth to a wonderfuly health 8lb 6oz 21.5 inchs long baby. Everyone progresses in pregnancy different and its up to your doctor to let you know if this is healthy or normal for you and to check the baby for development ... Don't worry to much because we never get given more than what we can handle.!posted 09/12/2008 by Joanna and David

"Named After Illiniwek Indians Meaning "Superior"" Top 5 Page for this destination Illinois by deecat
Illinois Travel Guide: 8,237 reviews and 17,680 photos
The Montage of Illinois depicts the places I have lived, my high school and university, cheerleading activities, family, grave of my parents, Allan's Cubs, my home-grown flowers, & places of importance in Illinois.
Illinois truly is a state rich in soil, scenic beauty, architectual wonders, historic significance, and people with heart. No wonder it's called such names as The heartland of America, "the true America", The Prarie State, and from its Native American meaning, "Tribe of Superior Men."
Today, Illinois is the sixth most populous state in the USA with about 11.5 million people!
Having lived in Illinois all but two years of my life, I am, of course, biased. However, I firmly believe that if foreign visitors want to know what the real America is all about, they need to visit Illinois, the whole state, not just Chicago!
Illinois is bounded by five states (Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri) and Lake Michigan. It is really where East meets West; thus, it is often called "Crossroads State".
When you realize that air, land, and water transportation all intersect in Illinois, then you have to agree with that nickname.
Illinois derives its name from a French adaptation of the Illini Indians who were here long before the white man came. These Indians were called Illiniwek or "Superior Man".
Because of our government, disease, famine, and war, the last Illiniwek Indians left the state of Illinois in 1833 and resettled in Kansas. However, their influence remains within our state today.
- Pros:"Midwestern Friendly", Beautiful, Inventive, Progressive
- Cons:Too Much of the State is "Flat" Terrain
- In a nutshell:A Great State to Grow Up, Raise a Family, & Retire!

So glad that it covers more than Chicago. What a masterpiece for Illinois. My favorite was how you showed us towns via where you lived. great idea. you are truly an Illinois girl.
Like Illinois Collage. Love the presentation using the places that you lived. Good to see there's more to Illinois besides Chicago. Excellent restaurant tips. Great Intro collage..creative.
I can believe it's been nearly five years since I last looked at this page! Unfortunately I don't have any granddaughters, only three grandsons, so I have no one to take to the American Girl Place in Chicago.
i was here because i was remembering my days passed in this state in the 80s. it is always great feeling to be on your pages - your tips here give contrast how the things were and how they are now. good organization and great details.
So Illinois is your home-state and its towns were your home-towns from childhood till now. Loved your house in Libertyville. Amazing to learn about Little Egypt and towns such as Cairo, Thebes in Illinois. A very thorough and comprehensive page, as usual!
What a lovely page, Dee :-)) I really like your storyline and the old photos of cute Dee and cute Jill :-)) Little Dee looks like little Ingrid, always outside and always "not the cleanest". Interesting info about the white squirrels!
Extremely interesting tips and information on a relatively 'unknown' American State. You opened my eyes!!
Chicago is quite the place--full of noteworthy sites to visit and close enough to you and Alan to make the most of it. I've never heard of the albino squirrels--an interesting claim to fame!! Thanks for alerting me to your new tips...
Nice tip on the albino squirrels. Wait until you read the Richmond tip by "matcrazy1" on the purple squirrel of Capitol Square. I guess my niece Lexi will want to shop at the American Girl Place.
Hi,I worked at WTAY as DJ/Newscaster from Nov'56 to May'57 as Mike DeLee.Worked "TicTocTime"8:15 to9:00AM.ten a couple of newscasts and a call-in show with music.Then,"the place to be from noon to 3 with yours'truly,Mike DeLee" Loved my time at WTAY

Wang Shu of Amateur Architecture Studio became the first Chinese architect to win the Pritzker Prize for Architecture today. Unlike the majority of previous Pritzker winners, whose names often come attached to splashy international museums, monuments, and luxury hotels, Wang Shu is far less known. "The question of the proper relation of present to past is particularly timely," wrote the jury in its citation, "for the recent process of urbanization in China invites debate as to whether architecture should be anchored in tradition or should look only toward the future. As with any great architecture, Wang Shu´s work is able to transcend that debate, producing an architecture that is timeless, deeply rooted in its context and yet universal."
Wang Shu runs Amateur Architecture Studio in Hangzhou, China, with his wife, the architect Lu Wenyu, and counts the fantastic Ningbo History Museum amongst his most distinctive works. Made largely of salvaged stones and terra cotta tiles, the boxy castle of a building is constructed of the detritus of other structure. The choice of Wang Shu may forecast a greater embrace of Asian architects by the Pritzker jury, which now includes former winner Zaha Hadid and U.S. Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer, considering that the Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa won in 2010. IM Pei, who was born in China, won the prize in 1983, though he has done much of his best work in America and became a U.S. citizen in 1954.

Minimalism, here I come!
Gursky, eat your heart out!
And the final coup de grâce!
Two questions, I have in mind.
1. What would the well-educated knowledgeable photographers have to say about these?
2. How do the rest of you, uncouth plebeians feel about these fine works? Do they appeal to your coarse sensibilities?
Seriously though, the sarcasm is only very slight. I suspect people won't indulge me here, but just in case, I would be very grateful...

University spending on research and development in all fields totaled $65.8 billion in FY 2012, according to data from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey. When adjusted for inflation, higher education R&D declined by 1.1% in FY 2012 (figure 1).
Figure 1 Source Data: Excel file
This represents the first constant-dollar decline since FY 1974 and ends a period of modest growth during FYs 2009–11, when R&D expenditures increased an average of 5% each year.
The expenditures funded by the one-time American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) decreased from $4.2 billion in FY 2011 to $2.4 billion in FY 2012.[2] ARRA funding represented 6.1% of the federally funded R&D expenditures for FY 2012. Including ARRA funding, the total federal funding for higher education R&D declined from $40.8 billion in FY 2011 to $40.1 billion in FY 2012, falling from 62.5% to 61.0% of total R&D expenditures. In constant dollars, federally funded R&D expenditures declined 3.3% in FY 2012.
Unless otherwise indicated, references to dollar amounts or percentages for the remainder of this InfoBrief are in current dollars.
Most nongovernmental funding sources showed increases between FY 2011 and FY 2012. Institution-funded R&D showed the most significant growth and rose by over $1 billion to $13.7 billion in FY 2012.[3] Institution funds include three components: institutionally financed research ($7.7 billion), cost sharing on sponsored projects ($1.3 billion), and unrecovered indirect costs on sponsored projects ($4.6 billion). Expenditures funded by nonprofit organizations increased by $180 million to $4.0 billion, and business-funded R&D increased by $101 million to $3.3 billion in FY 2012. By contrast, expenditures funded by state and local governments showed a modest decline for the second year in a row (table 1). R&D expenditures funded by state and local governments decreased from $3.9 billion in FY 2010 to $3.7 billion in FY 2012.
SOURCE: National Science Foundation, National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, Higher Education Research and Development Survey.
Table 1 Source Data: Excel file
Among the federal agencies, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) accounted for all of the drop in the federally funded total, showing declines of 4.7% and 6.5%, respectively, from 2011 to 2012 (table 2). HHS-funded expenditures declined by almost $1.1 billion to $21.9 billion in FY 2012; that total comprises 54.5% of the total R&D expenditures funded by the federal government.
a Includes all other agencies reported.
SOURCE: National Science Foundation, National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, Higher Education Research and Development Survey.
Table 2 Source Data: Excel file
The largest broad field, life sciences, declined slightly from $37.3 billion in FY 2011 to $37.2 billion in FY 2012 (table 3). The majority of the funding was spent within the subfields of medical sciences ($20.4 billion) and biological sciences ($11.6 billion), both of which experienced small declines in FY 2012. Engineering was the next largest broad field and increased 2.6% to $10.3 billion in reported R&D expenditures in FY 2012. Bioengineering/biomedical engineering experienced the largest percentage growth of the engineering subfields, rising 7.4% to $879 million. R&D within non-science and engineering (non-S&E) fields also grew, showing a 7.0% increase to $3.5 billion in FY 2012. Within the non-S&E fields, education continues to be the largest subfield, and R&D expenditures within this discipline rose 10.2% to $1.2 billion in FY 2012.[4]
nec = not elsewhere classified.
SOURCE: National Science Foundation, National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, Higher Education Research and Development Survey.
Table 3 Source Data: Excel file
Of the 907 institutions surveyed, the top 30 in terms of R&D expenditures in all fields accounted for 40% of total academic
R&D spending (table 4). There was only one change to the top 30 between FY 2011 and FY 2012. The University of Southern California moved back into the top 30, displacing the University of Texas at Austin, now at number 31. Twelve of the top 30 reported expenditure declines in FY 2012, ranging from -0.1% (Yale University) to -7.9% (Ohio State University). Harvard University showed a significant increase of 23% in FY 2012 as a result of increased expenditures from federal, business, and nonprofit sources and also a first-time reporting of $69 million in institution-funded R&D. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology also showed a significant increase relative to its peers, rising 13.9% to $824 million in FY 2012. This increase was also due in large part to a new reporting of institution funds previously omitted. There are now eight institutions reporting over $1 billion each in R&D spending, compared with four such institutions in FY 2010.
a Johns Hopkins University includes Applied Physics Laboratory, with $1,121 million in total R&D expenditures in FY 2012.
NOTES: Because of rounding, detail may not add to total. Institutions ranked are geographically separate campuses headed by a campus-level president, chancellor, or equivalent.
Table 4 Source Data: Excel file
In FY 2012, institutions reported a total headcount of 916,822 personnel paid from the $28.3 billion in R&D salaries and wages reported on the survey. Of this total, 153,653 (16.8%) were designated as principal investigators (including co-investigators). The remainder (763,169) included other personnel, such as research fellows, student research assistants, and support staff.
The fiscal year referred to throughout this report is the academic fiscal year; for most institutions, FY 2012 represents the period 1 July 2011 through 30 June 2012. The higher education R&D expenditures data were collected from 907 universities and colleges that grant bachelor's or higher degrees and expended at least $150,000 in R&D in the survey period. In order to reduce respondent burden, the HERD Survey was revised in FY 2012 to request abbreviated data from institutions reporting less than $1 million in R&D expenditures during the previous fiscal year. The totals shown in this InfoBrief do not include expenditures reported by 252 institutions that completed a short form version of the survey in FY 2012. These institutions accounted for only an additional $145 million to the U.S. total of higher education R&D expenditures in FY 2012; however, combined results will be shown within a limited set of detailed tables.
The amounts reported include all funds expended for activities specifically organized to produce research outcomes and sponsored by an outside organization or separately budgeted using institution funds. R&D expenditures at university-administered federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) are collected in a separate survey, the FFRDC R&D Survey, and these data are available at http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/ffrdc/.
The full set of detailed tables from this survey will be available at http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/srvyherd/. Individual detailed tables from the 2012 survey may be available in advance of release. For further information, please contact the author.

[2] Although the funding was awarded to institutions in federal FY 2009, much of the funding was for multiyear projects. ARRA funds accounted for $2.6 billion of the FY 2010 academic R&D total of $61.2 billion. ARRA expenditures are expected to appear in HERD Survey totals through academic FY 2014.
[3] To improve the consistency of reporting across institutions, the FY 2012 survey asked institutions to specify which types of institution-funded R&D other than cost sharing and unrecovered indirect costs were reported in both FY 2011 and FY 2012. The four types of funding choices included (1) competitively awarded internal grants, (2) startup packages or bridge funding, (3) other departmental funds designated for research, or (4) tuition assistance for research personnel. The results showed that 13% of institutions began reporting one or more of the funding types listed for the first time in FY 2012. These institutions accounted for 16% of the total R&D expenditures reported in FY 2012. Although it is not possible to determine the effect of this reporting change on the significant increase in FY 2012 institution-funded R&D, it is likely that some of the increase may be due to improved reporting rather than an increase in available funds.

Gyproc has been working with Lowe Lintas as its creative agency for some time now and found it fitting to pass on the digital mandate to the agency's digital arm, LinTeractive
BestMediaInfo Bureau | Delhi | July 15, 2014
Saint-Gobain Gyproc India (formerly India Gypsum), which manufactures an extensive range of gypsum boards and plasters systems and solutions for partitions, wall panels, ceilings and internal wall linings, has appointed LinTeractive as its digital AoR.
Gyproc has been working with Lowe Lintas as its creative agency for some time now and found it fitting to pass on the digital mandate to the agency's digital arm, LinTeractive. LinTeractive would be offering a suite of services to Saint-Gobain Gyproc including creation of a new website, SEO, SEM, digital media planning & buying, social media marketing and digital campaign creation.
On choosing LinTeractive as its digital agency, NE Subramanian, Head of Marketing at Saint-Gobain Gyproc India, said, "The choice of LinTeractive was influenced by the fact that it is a partnership with Gyproc's ATL agency, Lowe Lintas. This was seen as an important factor in ensuring the work across mediums was integrated and spoke the same language to the consumer."
Adding further on the partnership, Subramanian said that the teams handling Gyproc across both agencies, LinTeractive and Lowe Lintas, are working closely to ensure that the brand message is delivered seamlessly. "This includes creating a 360 degree campaign for Gyproc where the mass media work creates awareness and leads consumers to the Gyproc website where they are given more specific information that helps them in their decision-making journey. The campaign has been developed with this on and offline interaction as the focal point, making the partnership with LinTeractive integral to its success," noted Subramanian.
Vikas Mehta, CMO, Lowe Lintas + Partners & Head of LinTeractive, said, "Gyproc is another great opportunity for us to build a seamless brand story on and offline. It's tempting to assume that a category like gypsum boards should be largely B2B and hence boring. We believe Gyproc has the potential to move the conversation from Gypsum boards to great-looking-ceilings. We are delighted to partner Gyproc in the journey and look forward to playing a role in creating business success for the brand."
Gyproc India is part of the Euro €43 billion Saint-Gobain Group, the world's leading manufacturer of ceilings, drywalls and gypsum plasters. The company is a pioneer in introducing lightweight interior construction practices in the Indian market, and its products and systems are the preferred choice of companies, builders, interior decorators and end consumers.
