Post subject: Has This Happened to You?
I have three main hobbies that I fill my free time with: knitting, reading and online gaming. Lately, it seems like I've been spending all my time online. I've done very little knitting and I can't seem to find a book I
to read. I have a dozen books that I've been wanting to read just waiting for me. I've started The Host by Stephenie Meyer a couple times but couldn't get into it. Same with Marjorie Liu's the Iron Hunt. I did manage to read the first book in Kristen Britain's Green Rider series, but it was slow going. My friends rave about that series. The only thing I've been able to read are some old favorites like the Psy/Changeling series by Nalini Singh. I'm really looking forward to the next book in that series. But I haven't been able to lose myself in anything new.
Has that happened to anyone else? It's driving me crazy. I want to dive into something new, something that will capture my interest and suck me in, but so far, I've been putting books away after the first chapter and sitting back down at my computer. Is this just a reading slump? How can I break out of it?

I have gone through periods like this myself. I call it being in a "restless" phase! I just can't seem to settle on anything new. It doesn't happen often, but the mood pops up periodically. In my case from a reading perspective, it manifests itself in not being able to start in on a new book or a new author even though I have a pretty decent TBR pile.
My solution is to go back to some of my old favorites on my keeper shelf. I have tried to analyze this behavior and for me I think that sometimes I get nervous starting a new book. I know it will have a happy ending because it is a romance, but I worry about how that will be achieved. Sounds silly, but there it is. After a comfort read or two, I usually get over it. Hope you can get past your mood, too.
So many books; so little time!

Terese: I always find something good to read because I get lots of books from the library. If it sounds interesting in the review/summary provided, I put it on reserve. When I finally check it out and start to read it, if it's not all that great, I just go onto the next book.
I agree with TinaBelle's suggestion about going back to your keep shelf. Or maybe try a book in a different genre than you usually read, just to freshen your reading mind.

I know what you mean, though our reasons probably differ. I mostly read paranormals, and it feels like it's the same old authors kicking about, many of which i've tried and don't rate very highly. While waiting for new books by Nalini Singh and Kresley Cole, i've started reading paranormals that are light on the romance side (Kelley Armstrong, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, etc). I feel that paranormal
are difficult to get right, so my reluctance to pick up some books can be because I don't want to experience that feeling of disappointment.

I agree with the posters above Terese.
I really have to switch between genres, or I get into a slump where nothing seems to satisfy. I jump between contemporary romance, historical, paranormal, urban fantasy, romantic suspense and some science fiction...but even so sometimes nothing seems to grab my interest and that is where the keeper shelf comes into play.
Sometimes reading a book that I have not read in years is just what I need to re-kindle the romance LOL.

Hi Terese,
I agree with Blossom...sometimes after reading an excellent author (like Nalini Singh) it's hard for me to start a new book because I know I'll be disappointed...not because the next book is bad, but because it's not what I want to read, which is the next book in the Psy series. Thus, I either switch to a completely different romance genre (such as reading a Jennifer Crusie) or I read a book outside of the genre altogether.
If you haven't read this already, I strongly recommend the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz. It does not meet the definition of a romance but the main character is romantically involved. I can't recommend it highly enough and it's bound to get you out of your slump. Also, there are now 4 books in the series (start with Odd Thomas) so if you like it, you can look forward to 3 more!

I agree with the posts above, too.
It has happened to me a lot of times. What I usually do is:
- Reread an old favorite
- Read something completely different, like mystery, or horror, or biography
- Give it a break. Don´t worry about it, it will pass and you will feel the magic of books again. Do something different, like going to the movies or theater, shop (clothes, not books), see some friends or family. Get out of the house and off the computer.
Don´t force yourself to read something you`re not really interested in. There are too many great books and too little time.
Hope this helps!

I'm currently in reading purgatory. Just haven't been able to read much romance (in particular) at all lately. Well..."lately" meaning for the last year or so. I've lost interest in some of my old favorites -- Jane Feather, Mary Jo Putney, Suzanne Brockmann, Lisa Kleypas -- and I've tried some of the newer authors -- Sherry Thomas, Elizabeth Hoyt -- and just been disappointed. Nothing is really floating my boat.
Right now the only authors/books that are really holding my attention are all series: In Death by Robb; the Mercy Thompson series by Briggs; and the Psi/Changeling series by Singh. But that's really about it. (Gabaldon's Outlander series is still my favorite, but considering it takes her four years to put out the next book, I spend more time waiting than anything else where her books are concerned.)
A lot of my reading lately has been non-fiction:
A Patriot's History of the United States
Rise to Rebellion (fiction, but based on non-fiction)
The American Revolution
Why the Christian Right is Wrong
The Bedside Torah
Eat, Pray, Love
Healing the Wounded Soul
Even my re-reading has fallen by the wayside lately, and I'm normally a HUGE re-reader. The only thing I've re-read recently is Anne Bishop's Black Jewels trilogy.

I re-read the Invisible Ring a couple nights ago. I had read it a few years ago, thought it was OK and put it away. After a re-read I found myself appreciating it a lot more. I'm really looking forward to the Shadow Queen, which is about grandson-many-generations-later of the main characters in the Invisible Ring.
I have broken out of my reading slump. Although it is hard even now to be excitd about the many book in my to be read pile. I want the ones that haven't been published yet like the new Mercy Thompson and the Shadow Queen.

I seem to be somewhat blessed (or cursed) with the fact that there are multiple things that I can do reasonably well.
Because there are so many subjects I am interested in I am actually not really good in any of them. If I write down what I would like to be in the coming 25 years it at least involves that I would like to be really good at something. Here I define really good as a subject where I am the most productive in (and which I like, but that will likely coincide).
How do I determine which direction to go in my studies?
I know that this question is quite subjective but I have tried to make it as non-localized as possible.

As I approach my senior years, I found the information in the video very educational as to changes my body and mind are experiencing, and why. My pregnant daughter found the information on child development just as educational.

Put your home at the center of it all with this made-to-order map jigsaw. The 400-piece puzzle features a house-shaped center piece covering your chosen location. Spectacular satellite photography gives you a bird's-eye view of your surrounding community; just provide a full street address with zip code for the center point. The box also has space to write your own personal message, making it perfect for gift giving. Shows an area of 1 1/2 miles east to west and 1 mile north to south.
See the alternate views above for examples of what puzzles might look like for urban, suburban, and rural areas. Keep in mind that if you order a puzzle for a heavily wooded or coastal area, many of the pieces will be green or blue. Pictured here are satellite images for New York City; Stockbridge, Massachusetts; San Fernando, California; Twenty Nine Palms, California; Portland, Maine; Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Washington, D.C.; and Walhala, South Carolina.

I gave this 4 stars, but I wouldn't say it "met my expectations". I had no expectations because it was a gift, but after having used it I think the idea is better than the execution. It's such a great idea though, and needs such a minor change to make it fabulous, that I went ahead and gave it the 4 star rating.We live in rural area where there are not so many distinctive features as viewed from the air. A simple photo inserted in the box would make it perfect.

delivery disapppointing

Very dissappointing
By dgs1999

About Me Midrange shopper
This puzzle was disappointing. It is impossible to do a puzzle that is 90% tree folliage, and if the aerial photo was taken during leaf out, that is what you will get.I ignored the negative reviews, a big mistake.To add to the above: it has a poor referance photo that is half size, photo dark muddy and out of focus, pieces cut mostly the same.I would suggest you pass on this and get the"My Town" personalized map instead, which was fine quality.
From National Geographic:Thank you for providing a review. We regret that this puzzle did not live up to your expectations. The image for your area is primarily trees and wooded area. The guide print is half size and condenses all aspects and, as our website states, is not representative of the final scale. The finished puzzle will give an increased level of clarity and definition. We understand that our customer service department has already been in touch regarding your order.
Surprising and Unique gift
By heyjude54
from Northern Arizona
A very unique gift for many puzzle masters! Forests are more difficult. Rural addresses may not be centered in the puzzle. Due to the similar shape and size of many pieces, multiple pieces can fit multiple places, so the more consistent your area is, the tougher the puzzle becomes. I would definitely purchase again; but not for friends who live it a forested area.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Aeriel jigsaw puzzle

I got this ariel puzzle for a hard to find gift family friend- they loved it!!
Fun but flawed
By J&M
from Kansas City
I ordered this puzzle for a Christmas gift for my husband, using the address and zip code. When it arrived, I discovered it covered an area slightly to the east of our actual address. Since the address is a new one, high in the mountains in a rural area, this was not surprising. I ordered a second one by phone, providing lat/long coordinates. Weeks later, when the second one finally arrived, it was a duplicate of the first, incorrect one. I called NG and my money was refunded. This is OK, but we really would have liked to have had the puzzle showing our new homesite. This is a great idea but poorly executed. The topo map is dated; some features don't exist anymore. Words on the map pieces are so tiny it's very hard to read them. And the key provided doesn't match the actual puzzle size. Despite all of that, it was entertaining and fun to put together and we discovered new roads and features in our area.

Needs better quality control.
By Grandmother in Philly
from Philadelphia PA
I ordered two of these puzzles as gifts after comparing the scale (distance covered by the photo) and customer reviews from similar products. Two different addresses. One of the puzzles is pretty good, reasonably bright. The other looks as if the aerial photograph was taken at dusk, very dark and hard to see details. Very disappointed.
From National Geographic:Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We regret that one of the puzzles did not meet your expectations. As indicated on the puzzle box, the half-size reference image is intended to assist in putting together the puzzle and does not reflect the true image of the full-scale finished puzzle. Because the reference image is compressed, it looks dark. In the finished puzzle, the buildings, trees, and roads are clearer. The detail on the finished puzzle will be more than twice the size of the reference image and offer better clarity. We look forward to speaking with you regarding your concerns.

Sea Salt, photo by Adam Finkle.
Eric DeBonis has spent a tremendous period of time traveling the Mediterranean, educating himself and embracing everything from its rich history and expressive culture. At the root of the history and culture, food seemed to tie it all together.
As a result of his journeys, DeBonis developed two Mediterranean restaurants in Park City during the 1990's, The Olive Barrel Food Company and Mediterraneo, and currently has two Salt Lake restaurants: Sea Salt and The Paris.
"The restaurants are my mediums to express my passion for, and my life long study of, Mediterranean food and wine cultures and to share my many travels and experiences from this amazing part of the world with my customers here in Utah," DeBonis says.
DeBonis strives to give diners an experience in which their food is crafted for quality in his restaurants with a unique Italian or French feel.
"At The Paris and Sea Salt our goal is to transport each diner to France and Italy with our ambiance, food, wine and service," DeBonis said. "The two restaurants provide two distinctively different experiences: Sea Salt, a modern Italian restaurant, showcases Italy's Mediterranean spirit with all its warmth and natural beauty; and The Paris is a timeless French institution echoing the spirit of a classic Parisian bistro and brasserie."
DeBonis strives to share the celebration of an authentic French and Italian wine and dining experience with each diner by focusing on culture and community as well as traditional recipes and techniques. He also believes in what he calls the "slow food" manifesto, a focus on rhythm of the seasons and local environments, as well as culture and community, instead of cheap or fast food.
"Both restaurants honor France and Italy's slow food cultural heritage where the kitchen, its homage to the seasons, local produce and hand-crafted traditional artisan meals and wines are central to life's greatest pleasures, and where guests relax and enjoy a slow-paced quality full-service dining experience rather than a 'fast-casual' frenzied pace of eating."
Each restaurant is enriched by a deep philosophy which DeBonis has created from his inspiration. The Paris' website outlines its philosophy.
"Good cooking is born out in communities where the supply of food is conditioned by the seasons . . . when providence supplies the means, the preparation and sharing of food takes on a sacred aspect. The fact that every crop is of short duration promotes a spirit of making the best of it while it lasts."
For more information on each restaurant or to view the menus, visit their websites.
The Paris is located on 15th South and 15th East and their website is theparis.net.
Sea Salt is located at 1709 East 1300 South and their website is seasaltslc.com.

In honor of the 69th birthday of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Eric Clapton, the Rock Hall's Library and Archives is pleased to feature Clapton's beautiful new limited edition book Six-String Stories: The Crossroads Guitars in its main reading room.
"One by one these guitars were the chapters of my life," says Clapton about the book. Personally signed by Clapton himself, the 376-page volume documents his entire career through the tools of his trade: his guitars. Six-String Stories is told through Clapton's own words, with background information for each instrument and archival photography spanning five decades.
"As an avid rock or blues fan I would look at all the pictures in this book," says Clapton. Nearly 300 pieces from Clapton's collection, sold across three Crossroads auctions, are brought together here for the very first time. Six-String Stories presents a "family tree," making connections between Clapton's instruments and amps, and placing them in the chronology of his career.
"These guitars have been really good tools," says Clapton. "They're not just museum pieces. They all have a soul, and they all come alive." Every piece has been photographed, showing the beauty of the design and the wear and tear often caused by years on the road.
The book's elegant handcrafted binding is inspired by its content. The collector copies are quarter bound in cherry red leather to match Clapton's famous Gibson ES-335. The silhouettes of some of his most iconic guitars are blocked in gold and silver foils on the cover, and the book's pages are edged in gold. A buckram-covered slipcase with leather accents houses the limited edition. The title is silk-screened onto the front in the style of the "Cream" and "Derek and The Dominos" stencils that brand Clapton's early guitar cases.
The Library and Archives is displaying Six-String Stories along with several other titles generously donated by Genesis Publications, such as the recent Transformer by Lou Reed and Mick Rock, and Photograph by Ringo Starr. Please visit the Library and Archives or contact the Library and Archives for more information!

Sullivan makes a more general point while discussing the DOJ's decision to not defend a challenge on Section 3 of DOMA:
Which is not the first time one can say that on many issues, where Obama's caution and incrementalism have begun to create a legacy that is deeply unsatisfying in the present but looks rather substantive from the rear-view mirror.
I think this is exactly what drives the reactionary left, particularly on the blogs, crazy. We live in a media environment today that encourages instant reactions, and puts a very strong disincentive on reflection. And when you look at the Obama Administration's actions on a very small time scale, things don't really look that great. It's only when you take a step back and look at things in a broader way do you really see the real progress that has been made.
It's like a wise woman once said, Obama's like a full-on Monet. In a good way.Read More

Then Again By Diane Keaton (amazon.com)
Warren Beatty thought Keaton should stop fooling around with collages. "You're a movie star," he said. "What is all this art stuff going to get you anyway?" But a collage is exactly what Keaton has created in this clever, tender, at times startling (a five-year bulimia habit!) and occasionally heartbreaking account of her life and that of her mother, Dorothy Keaton Hall, who died of Alzheimer's in 2008. Throwing everything into the mix—journals (her mother filled 85), letters (Woody Allen signed his "Uncle Woodums"), lists (her mother's affirmations, her own hypercharged to-dos)—Keaton pieces together a riveting picture of two women who were always stars in each other's eyes. —AMANDA LOVELL
Blue Nights by Joan Didion (amazon.com)
Anyone who has grown up with Didion's beautiful, elegiac prose, who has read her precise and sculptural sentences and absorbed her thoughts, knows the author's own story. We know about her California roots, about Vogue and Malibu; we know (from The Year of Magical Thinking) about the awful losses of her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and her adored daughter, Quintana Roo, by whose absence she still measures her days. Blue Nights continues the steady carving of this narrative of memory, mourning and remem-bered joy. Part memoir, part meditation, it offers haunting glimpses into Didion's rising awareness of her mortality and reminds us how her brilliant work illuminates our own lives. —ROXANA ROBINSON

I liked the enthusiasm of the presenters for the subject matter. I would recommend this training as the conversation is extremely relevant for social services and especially D.V. services.
I would recommend this training as we all need more cultural competency. Thank you so much you are all amazing!
Very practical since this is a topic I face on a daily basis. I would recommend this training. We all need to be aware of the differences in cultures as we work with people.
Great training. I would absolutely recommend this training especially to law enforcement, attorneys and judges.
Very practical. This can help me better serve my clients. I would recommend this training as it was very helpful and has a different perspective on what it means to be culturally competent.
Very practical. I appreciated the open, authentic and supportive conversations about sensitive subjects. I would recommend this training because I believe everyone could use more training and cultural awareness to be as supportive and possible.
I would recommend this training. It makes everyone thin about how we do our jobs and there is always room to improve and make things for victims. We need more training. It is hard to find good training for diverse communities especially Spanish speaking.
Very helpful. The booklets are great tools. Additional training is needed in this community. Thank you very much!
Very practical since we are starting a statewide hotline. The information given was great so that we could make sure we are culturally competent.
Very practical. I will apply my increased knowledge and awareness. I have had other cultural competence trainings and I really liked the approach and presentation.
Excellent way to connect with those we serve and be able to create real change in self and others.
Training covers all relevant elements--spiritual, cultural, psychological and social.
Everything was great! I would recommend this training. It's an innovative way of healing. Blessings to all of you who made this possible!
The information was relevant to my work and in my personal life. It is potentially life changing.
The information was practical enough to pass on and continue the effort. Everything overall was excellent. I would recommend this training as it is very relevant to the culture and population we work with.
It was life changing and truly valued. I would recommend this training to colleagues so they can connect with themselves and understand why they entered this field. The speakers were awesome. Great team!
Very practical, useful and relevant. I liked the explanations of how to assist boys and men from the biological, cultural, and spiritual connections. Healing is a major part of understanding trauma and forgiveness.
The information is extremely relevant if we hope to heal as people, cultures and communities.
Yes, I would recommend this training. Wonderful, empowering and healing.
Excellent, I have a much better understanding of the Latino culture, especially the possible causes and effects of the adult male disconnect. Even though training is focused on Latino men and boys, I see a lot of similarities to my own life.

text: While he may have been small in stature, Gary Simmons certainly didn't play like it. The Vandal basketball star, whose jersey #6 is just the second to be retired at Idaho, was the leader of the team from 1955-58, twice earning team MVP honors. As a senior, Simmons led the Pacific Coast Conference in scoring, averaging 20.4 points per game, becoming the shortest player in PCC history to do so. He was also honored on four different All-America teams, as well as the All-PCC team, following that senior season. One of Simmons' most memorable games was in the 1958 victory over UCLA, when he scored 37 points and attempted a school-record 20 free throws, sinking 15 to help seal the Vandal victory. His record 26 consecutive free throws made still hasn't been touched after more than 50 years. Simmons ranks in the top 10 in 13 statistical categories at Idaho. A Twin Falls, Idaho, native, Simmons was also named Basketball Player of the Century by the Idaho High School Activities Association.

Men's Swimming & Diving Opens Ivy Season With Sweep Of Cornell, Penn
The five-time reigning Ivy League champion Princeton men's swimming and diving team opened its dual meet season with victories over both Cornell and Penn Saturday in Ithaca.
Team scores will be posted when available.
The dual meet opened Friday with the diving competition, and Princeton took three of the top four spots in both the 1- and 3-meter events. On the 1-meter board, junior Michael Manhard took second with 295.35 points, while senior Mark O'Connell (295.25) and freshman Nathan Makarewicz (287.10) finished third and fourth, respectively.
Manhard, who broke the program's 1-meter record at the Princeton Open last weekend, followed with a win in the 3-meter event with 328.45 points. O'Connell (303.65) and Makarewicz (281.80) took third and fourth.
Princeton opened the day with a tight win in the 200 medley relay, as the quartet of Michael Strand, Jack Pohlmann, Teo D'Alessandro and Harrison Wagner posted a time of 1:31.40, which topped Penn by just .12 of a second. The quartet of En-Wei Hu-Van Wright, Daniel Hasler, Oliver Bennett and Connor Maher posted a strong third-place time of 1:33.73.
Freshman Sam Smiddy made his Ivy League debut an impressive one, topping Penn freshman Wes Thomas to win the 1000 in 9:32.50. Two other Tiger underclassmen had Top 4 finishes, as sophomore Zach Ridout placed third in 9:39.65, while freshman Lance Rutkin took fourth in 9:41.27.
D'Alessandro and sophomore classmate Sandy Bole went 1-2 in the 200, with D'Alessandro taking the race in 1:40.12. Bole finished second in 1:41.25, while Hu-Van Wright finished fourth in 1:41.69.
Strand, the reigning Ivy League champion in the 100 back, won the event in 49.58, while Maher took third in 50.25. Pohlmann followed with a third-place finish in the 100 breast in 57.66.
Bennett got Princeton back in the winner's column by taking the 200 fly in 1:51.19, while reigning Ivy League 50 free champion Harrison Wagner won the 50 in 20.58. Sophomore Jeremy Wong added a third-place finish in 21.03. Wagner followed that by finishing third in the 100 free (46.05), one spot behind D'Alessandro (45.94).
Hu-Van Wright and Maher went 1-2 in the 200 back, with Hu-Van Wright (1:48.72) edging out the 2013 Ivy League champion in the event (1:49.02). Hasler followed with a second in the 200 breast in 2:05.47.
Smiddy posted a double by winning the 500 free in 4:40.51, while a pair of classmates followed in the next two spots. Rutkin placed second in 4:41.60, while Jeff Williamson took third in 4:42.85.
Bole took third in the 100 fly in 50.53, while Bennett placed fourth in 50.75. Hasler added a third-place finish in the 200 IM in 1:55.45.
Princeton wrapped up the day with a tight second-place finish in the 400 free relay, as Maher, Hu-Van Wright, Wagner and Bole finished in 3:02.16, only .01 of a second behind Penn.
Princeton will be off next week, and will return to DeNunzio Pool Dec. 6-8 for the 2013 Big Al Open.

Awakened at dawn by the nasally call to prayer crackling over the fuzzy loudspeaker of a nearby mosque, I slipped out of bed while Ismail slept, and greeted my sister-in-law in the hallway with my morning breath, my bed head and my frown lines. She handed me a tiny cup and saucer, the kind children use at tea parties, filled with a frothy concoction. None of my relatives drank coffee, but as a special treat for me, Fauziya had bought a small, expensive canister of Nescafé powder. I tilted the cup to my mouth, nearly emptying it in one gulp. Among my hosts there would be no coffee, no alcohol, no television or Internet—and as I quickly realized, no outdoor exercise, since I could not be on the streets without an escort and nearly all my skin covered. In Libya I would be cut off from all these addictions at once, cold turkey—and under the watchful eye of female relatives who scrutinized my every expression, trying to anticipate my every need.
After breakfast, seven of us piled into a car not much bigger than a golf cart and drove to the home of Ismail's beloved aunt Fatama, swerving on dirt roads past towering piles of trash and potholes deep enough to swallow a tire. A lone Libyan flag flapped in the wind, as green and plain as the apron of a Starbucks employee, and in my mind's eye I saw a barista offering me three sizes that started large and grew from there, saw myself cradling a paper cup filled with rich, dark brew. Folded onto Ismail's lap in the backseat, my head brushing the torn vinyl ceiling, I whispered into his ear: "Is there a Starbucks on the way?" He chuckled, low and sympathetic, and squeezed me tighter. Behind a high concrete wall, his aunt Fatama squatted on her porch waiting for us. A round, beaming woman swaddled in a brightly colored cloth from head to toe, she greeted us with kisses, tears and prayers, then disappeared into her darkened home. She returned a moment later with a plate of french fries, which she served us at 9 AM. We ate in her courtyard, warming our faces in the weak morning sun as her cats threaded through our legs and her chickens pecked the dust.
There was no Starbucks to be found, but something equally appealing caught my eye as we drove past it a few days later: a small, hand-lettered sign that read INTERNET. I motioned to Ismail's brother to stop the car, ducked into a small room lined with computers and sat down at a terminal beside a Libyan teen with stacks of textbooks and earplugs tucked beneath her head scarf. The sight of Google popping up on my screen was as comforting as a visit home. I could have sat there for hours checking news headlines, scanning the weather, e-mailing friends. Even checking work e-mail felt like a vacation. I wanted to climb inside the computer screen, hook myself to the Internet with an IV, numb myself from the unrelenting intimacy of this strange country. But my brother-in-law Hussein waited patiently in the car, and a houseful of relatives awaited my arrival at my mother-in-law's. On previous travels, exhausted by foreign languages and unfamiliar customs, I'd withdrawn to hotels and bars filled with other travelers, all of us ready to commiserate about home and toast our adventures. For the next two weeks, however, there would be no respite from crowded, generous, broken, resilient Libya, which in 2005 was just emerging from 18 years of sanctions by the U.S. and its European allies.
In the United States I spent most daylight hours in an office, tapping on a keyboard until my wrists ached. I equated travel with being outside—surfing rolling waves, walking city streets, hiking narrow mountain paths—and I had looked forward to spending my vacation in the sun, exploring Libya. But nearly all my time was spent inside the crowded homes of women who called me sister and daughter. While other foreigners took guided tours of Roman ruins or were whisked into the desert on air-conditioned buses, snowboards (for flying down sand dunes) strapped on top, I sat thigh to thigh with these women at social gatherings that often lasted as long as an entire workday.

Based on a drawing by Keith Breeden and sculpted by Aden Hynes and John Robertson, the Division Bell sculptures appeared on the cover of Pink Floyd's last studio album, The Division Bell, in 1994. It was the fourth album of the band's career to reach Number One on the Billboard charts, helping make the two figures gracing the cover among Pink Floyd's most recognizable contributions to the iconography of rock and roll. Since 2001, they've also made quite an impression on visitors to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, towering atop the entrance to the Hall of Fame on the Museum's third floor.
In 2001, the Rock Hall's VP of Exhibitions and Curatorial Jim Henke connected with Pink Floyd's management to discuss adding the famous Division Bell "heads" to the Rock Hall's collection. At the time, both sculptures were being stored in a warehouse in Bedford, England, and transporting them to Cleveland presented a number of logistical issues. Despite their imposing presence – standing approximately 20 feet tall, 8 feet wide and 4 feet deep – the base of each is a simple wooden frame, surrounded by lightweight polystyrene covered in painted fiberglass. As a result, the pair was not only unwieldy, but also brittle. Still, plans were put in place for the sculptures to make the trip to Cleveland.
A representative from Pink Floyd escorted the two figures from the warehouse in England to a seaport, having hired special flatbed trucks that were lowered as to safely pass beneath bridges, signs and other potential overhead impediments en route. Arriving at a dock outside of London, the Division Bell heads were carefully loaded into an open transport container and covered in plastic for their voyage across the Atlantic to New York aboard a carrier ship. "We held our breath during the trip," remembers Jun Francisco, the Rock Hall's Director of Collections. "It was out of our hands for that stretch of the journey."
Both sculptures arrived safely at the docks in New York City, where they were cleared through customs and immediately loaded on a truck for Cleveland. In October 2011, a skilled crew of engineers and maintenance staff were on hand to greet the two heads, which arrived at the Museum after hours, in a truck parked on the mall in front of the Museum.
The front doors of the Museum were completely removed to accommodate the sculptures, and the team carefully guided each through the Museum's main entrance. Working well into the night, another team was ready to man a custom rigging system that had been specially designed for the job of lifting the two massive rock and roll artifacts to their perch on the third floor of the Museum, where they've stood ever since.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
A technology that allows scientists to isolate and interrogate a cell's secretory pathway organelles has demonstrated that current techniques for analyzing a cell's secretory output may be missing a large number of potentially key proteins. One way that cells communicate with each other is through the production and signalling of secretory proteins, and current techniques for identifying such proteins uses mass spectrometry-based analysis of the growth medium to see what the cells are adding to what's already present.
However, due to the mix of proteins and compounds contained in the growth medium to support the cultured cells, this method isn't ideal. Furthermore, using MS to identify low-abundance secreted proteins typically requires the use of altered culture conditions such as serum-free medium, which can itself impact on the cell's secretory output.
Researchers at North Carolina State University (NC State) have now developed a platform that they claim allows them to isolate secretory pathway organelles from cells and analyze the contents of the intact organelles by mass spectrometry directly. "This gives us a snapshot of exactly what a cell was secreting at that point in time," explains Balaji Rao, who heads the team at NC State.
The researchers used the technique to isolate the subcellular secretory pathway fractions from mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). MS analysis of the fractions identified 99 proteins putatively secreted by the MEFs, and 129 by the hESCs. Importantly, of these, 76 MEF proteins and 37 hESC proteins hadn't previously been reported in MS analyses.
A major effect of the medium formulation on the proteins secreted by cells was also observed. There were significant differences between the abundances of several secreted proteins produced by hESCs cultured in MEF-CM, and those exposed to unconditional hESC medium.
The new technique could feasibly allow researchers to monitor a cell's secretory output in response to a range of applied stimuli and chemicals, and identify proteins that are secreted by one cell type in a heterogeneous cell population. "As long as you can separate the cells you are interested in, this should be possible," Dr. Rao claims. "And that is important, because most tissues are made up of heterogeneous populations of cells—and communication between those cells is biologically significant."
Dr. Rao et al., describe their technology and its application in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, in a paper titled "Targeted proteomics of the secretory pathway reveals the secretome of mouse embryonic fibroblasts and human embryonic stem cells."

Football Friday: Bob Surace Talks Records, Efficiency & Penn Consistency
In Week 8 of the Football Friday video series, Princeton head coach Bob Surace looks back on Quinn Epperly's record-setting performance against Cornell, and he discusses the challenges on both sides of the ball presented by the reigning Ivy League champion Penn Quakers. He also talks about the importance of the Princeton scout team, a group of young players who could be seeing big roles on Saturday in the next couple of years.

This week's game notes are below:
Quinn Epperly Wins The Capital One Cup Impact Performance Of The Week
WEEK 7 HIGHLIGHTS l EPPERLY WINS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
The last time Princeton defeated Penn, it went on to win its ninth Ivy League championship.
That was 2006.
If Princeton can end a six-game losing streak to the reigning Ivy League champion Penn Quakers, the Tigers would move to the brink of their 10th Ivy League title.
Easier said than done, though, as Princeton has learned time and again. Penn has the longest winning streak over Princeton of any Ivy League team, and the Quaker defense has dominated this series over the last 15 years in games played at Franklin Field.
And while Princeton put up three touchdowns last season, it was the Penn defense that came up with three crucial turnovers, including one interception it returned for a touchdown, in a 28-21 victory that knocked the Tigers from first place.
But this is a new season, and a new Princeton offense. Led by four-time Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week Quinn Epperly, coming off his NCAA record 29-straight-completion performance against Cornell, the Tigers rank among the Top 5 nationally in several offensive categories.
The Princeton defense may be overshadowed some by the offense, but the Tigers also lead the Ivy League in total defense, and that group has raised its game when the stakes mattered most. During the six-game win streak, Princeton has allowed only two touchdowns over the last six fourth quarters.
Both units will be put to the test this weekend against the preseason Ivy League favorite, which is expected to have starting quarterback Billy Ragone back on the field when it takes on Princeton at noon on the Ivy League Digital Network.
It's Princeton-Penn for first place in November.

The Amazing Race
Princeton is the lone undefeated team in the Ivy League, and it stands one game above both reigning Ivy champion Penn and 2011 champion Harvard in the league standings. This is the latest Princeton has had sole possession of first place in the Ivy standings since the 1995 season, which is also the last time Princeton won an outright Ivy League championship.
Two wins over the last three weeks would assure Princeton of at least a share of the Ivy League title, while three wins would clinch the outright title. Should Princeton defeat Penn Saturday and Columbia upset Harvard, the Tigers would earn a share of the title this weekend.
Seventh Heaven
Princeton is looking for its seventh straight win Saturday, something it hasn't done in a single season since the 1995 championship season. The Tigers did win seven straight games between the season finale of 2005 and the first six games of the 2006 — the latter was Princeton's last shared Ivy League championship season.
Road Warriors
Princeton has won four straight road games overall, including each of its first three this season. The last time Princeton opened a season with four straight road wins was 1995, and the last time Princeton won five straight road games over two seasons was 2005-06, when the Tigers won six in a row.
While Princeton is undefeated on the road this season, Penn is undefeated at Franklin Field during that same span.
Poll Position
Princeton was picked to finish fifth in the Ivy League preseason poll. It has road wins over the team picked to finish third (Brown) and second (Harvard). Penn was picked to finish first.
The Penn Has Been Mightier
Princeton has lost six straight games to Penn, marking its longest active losing streak to an Ivy League rival. Princeton has also lost six of its last seven games at Franklin Field, with the lone exception being a 30-13 victory during the 2005 season.
Point, Counterpoint
Princeton leads the Ivy League and ranks third nationally in scoring offense with 45.1 points per game. The Tigers have scored at least 50 points in four of their last six games, including three times against Ivy League opponents. Prior to this season, Princeton had scored at least 50 points only four times since the 1965 season, a span of 47 seasons.
The program single-season scoring record was set in 1950, when Dick Kazmaier led the
Tigers to a national championship and helped Princeton average 38.8 points per game. For the Tigers to break that record, they need to average 24.3 points per game during the next four weeks.
Princeton is currently averaging 23.4 points in the first half of games this season.
On The Other Hand
While Princeton has scored 43 touchdowns this season, an average of 6.1 per game, it has only scored one touchdown in the last three games combined at Franklin Field. That lone touchdown came during a 42-7 win by Penn during its 2009 Ivy championship season. In its last seven visits to Franklin Field, Princeton has only reached 14 points once (30-13, 2005).
Bad Turn
During last season's 28-21 loss to Penn, Princeton threw three interceptions, including one in the end zone and one that was tipped at the line of scrimmage and returned for a touchdown.
As a team, Princeton has only thrown three interceptions this season, and only one since the season-opening 29-28 loss to nationally ranked Lehigh. The Tigers rank second in the nation in interceptions thrown.
Total Recall
With 3,810 yards of total offense through seven games, Princeton has already surpassed the previous Ivy League high-water mark of 3,566 yards by Harvard in 2000. The Tigers' scoring clip of 45.1 points per game is on pace to reset the League's all-time record for a second-straight season. Harvard currently holds the record at 39.4 points per game in 2012.
On The Mark
Princeton junior quarterback Quinn Epperly set an NCAA Division I record when he completed 29 straight passes in the 53-20 victory over Cornell last weekend. Epperly completed his first 29 passes of the game, including two touchdown passes to Roman Wilson and one to Seth DeValve. His 29th completion, an eight-yard pass to DeValve, moved Epperly past Richie Williams of Appalachian State, who had 28 straight completions on Oct. 9, 2004.
I'm Honored
Quinn Epperly was named the Ivy League Co-Offensive Player of the Week following the Cornell game. He has won this honor four times this season — each after an Ivy League win — including each of the last three weeks. He was also named The Sports Network National Offensive Player of the Week after throwing six touchdown passes, including the third-overtime game winner, in the 51-48 victory at Harvard two weeks ago.
Epperly is just the sixth player in Ivy League history to win a football weekly award three weeks in a row. It has happened seven times with Brown's Nick Hartigan as the only player to do it twice. Hartigan was the last offensive player to achieve the feat, which happened twice in 2005 (Oct. 3, 10 & 17 and Oct. 31, Nov. 7 & Nov. 14). The only other offensive player to do it was Cornell's Chad Levitt in 1996 (Oct. 13, 20 & 27).
National Audience
Quinn Epperly has jumped into the Top 3 in several FCS statistical categories:
• Ranks first nationally in points responsible for per game (28.0)
• Ranks second nationally in completion percentage (74.9%)
• Ranks second nationally in passing efficiency (179.6)
• Ranks third nationally in scoring per game (12.0) -- that total is for his 14 rushing TDs only
• Is the only player in FCS with 12 or more rushing and 12 or more passing touchdowns this season
Just Quinn, Baby
Quinn Epperly leads the Ivy League in rushing touchdowns (14), passing touchdowns (18), pass efficiency (179.6) and completion percentage (74.9%). His 18 passing touchdowns are second-most in Princeton history; he trails Doug Butler, who threw for 25 touchdowns during the 1983 season. His 14 rushing touchdowns are fourth most in program history; the record is held by Keith Elias, who rushed for 19 touchdowns during the 1991 season. Epperly's completion percentage is well on pace to break the record of 68.2%, set by Jason Garrett during the 1988 season.
Triple Threats
Princeton has had eight players catch at least 100 passes in their career, but it could put two more players on that list early Saturday. Junior Matt Costello has 99 receptions in his career, while senior Roman Wilson has 98. Over the last two weeks, the duo combined for 31 catches for 289 yards and four touchdowns.
Catching On
Wilson is currently ranked second in the Ivy League in both receptions per game (8.3) and receiving yards per game (101.4). In both cases, he trails only Cornell senior Grant Gellatly.
Wilson has caught three touchdown passes over the last two games, including two last weekend, and now stands third on Princeton's career touchdown reception list with 14. He is two behind Kevin Guthrie for second place.
Getting Offensive
Princeton leads the Ivy League in scoring offense (45.1), rushing offense (240.9) and total offense (544.3); the Tigers trail only Cornell in passing offense (303.4).
Princeton has not finished a season leading the Ivy League in both overall scoring and scoring in league games since 1965. The Tigers last led the Ivy League in overall scoring in 1988, and it last led in scoring in Ivy games in 1989.
Mr. Smith Goes To The End Zone
Senior tight end Des Smith had scored one career touchdown heading into the Lafayette game four weeks ago. Since then, he caught a touchdown pass in three straight wins (Lafayette, Brown and Harvard), and he caught two-point conversion passes in both the Lafayette and Harvard victories.
Line Them Up
Much of the success of the offense this season has come from the experienced group up front, which includes three upperclassmen who have started at least 20 games in their careers. Senior center Joe Goss will be making his 35th career start this weekend, while both left tackle Spenser Huston and right guard Max Coale will both be making their 21th straight starts.
The offensive line has helped Princeton rank 10th nationally in sacks allowed per game (.71 per game).
Roman Empire
Senior wideout Roman Wilson has scored at least one touchdown in 10 of Princeton's last 12 games, including the first four games this season. He was held out of the end zone in regulation at Harvard, but he scored both of Princeton's overtime touchdowns. Following his nine-yard reverse to force a second overtime, he caught the game-winning six-yard touchdown in the third session, and he added two more touchdown catches last weekend. Wilson ranks first in the Ivy League and 10th nationally with nine touchdown catches this season. The Princeton single-season record is 11, set by Derek Graham.
Conversion Chart
Princeton leads the Ivy League in both third-down conversion percentage (43.3%) and third-down
conversion defense (32.1%). The defensive percentage is the 14th-best total in the FCS.
Sack Exchange
After recording 13 sacks in the first five games of the season, Princeton has recorded 14 in the last two wins. After recording seven sacks in the triple-overtime win at Harvard, the Tigers sacked all-time Ivy League passing leader Jeff Mathews seven times last weekend.
Senior Jason Ray is Princeton's leader with 3.5 sacks this season, but Princeton has eight players with at least two sacks this season.
Go Fourth
Princeton allowed 13 points to Lehigh in the fourth quarter of a season-opening 29-28 loss. Since then, the Tiger defense has allowed only 14 fourth-quarter points in the last six games; one touchdown came when Princeton turned it over inside its own 20 against Harvard, and the other came with Princeton leading 43-13 last weekend.
Rallying Cry
Princeton has come back to win three of its last four games. It trailed Brown 17-0 in the second quarter and was down 20-11 to Lafayette. The defense shut out Brown for the final 44 minutes of the game, and it allowed Lafayette only one touchdown in the final three quarters of a 42-26 win.
Against Harvard, Princeton trailed twice in overtime, but the defense held the Crimson to field goals in both the second and third overtime sessions.
Reid It And Weep
Senior Caraun Reid, a two-time first-team All-Ivy League selection and a 2012 All-America, has only missed one game over the last two years. He suffered an injury at Cornell last season and was unable to play against Penn this season.
Despite seeing multiple blockers almost every play this season, Reid has six tackles for loss, five quarterback hurries and 2.5 sacks this season. He added his first career interception last weekend, and it set up the first touchdown in a 53-20 win.
Corner The Market
Both of Princeton's starting cornerbacks, Anthony Gaffney and John Hill, have recorded interceptions over the last four weeks. Hill ranks second in the league with 1.1 passes defensed per game, while Gaffney was a first-team All-Ivy League cornerback his freshman season.
On The Mike
Junior linebacker Mike Zeuli, who moved from safety to linebacker during the offseason, leads Princeton and ranks fourth in the Ivy League with 8.6 tackles per game. He replaced Andrew Starks in the starting lineup; Starks made 15 tackles against Penn last season.
Leicht It Up
Junior middle linebacker Garrit Leicht, who missed the first half of last season because of injury, is in his first season as the starting middle linebacker. He has averaged seven tackles per game during the last four week, and he ranks 12th in the Ivy League with 6.9 tackles per game.
Shut The Dor-ian
Freshman cornerback Dorian Williams was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week after
recording a team-high eight tackles and forcing a fumble in Princeton's 39-17 victory over Brown. Williams leads all Princeton freshmen and ranks sixth on the team with 26 tackles, and he is second overall on the team in pass breakups (four).
Bye-Bye Bhaya
Senior safety and co-captain Phillip Bhaya, who recorded an interception last season against Penn, shares the team lead at Princeton with two interceptions this season, including one in the win at Harvard two weeks ago. He ranks third on the team with 46 tackles, including 10 at Harvard.
Wrong Turn
Princeton is 4-0 this season in games when it has at least a +1 advantage in turnovers, and it is 8-4 during the tenure of Bob Surace. Over the same stretch, the Tigers are 2-16 in games when it is -1 or worse in the turnover margin, including all three Penn games.
Last weekend was the first game this season when the turnover margin was even.
Just For Kicks
Princeton placekicker Nolan Bieck has made four of five field goals in the last five games, including a career-long 40-yarder in the win over Lafayette three weeks ago. Two weeks ago, he made a pair of pressure-packed kicks in overtime; following his extra point that forced a second session, he made a 31-yard field goal to open the second overtime.
The Crystal Ball
Princeton will honor its senior class and play its home finale next Saturday at 1 pm when it hosts the Yale Bulldogs during Alumni Weekend. The game will be televised live on ESPN3 and can be heard on WPRB 103.3 FM.
This will be the 136th game in the Princeton-Yale series, which is the second most games played in any active collegiate rivalry (trailing only Lehigh-Lafayette). Princeton won 29-7 at the Yale Bowl last season in a game that featured a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown by Trocon Davis just before halftime.
Yale leads the all-time series 74-51-10 and is 5-2 all-time at Princeton Stadium.
Honoring Princeton's Greatest
This season, Princeton players are wearing a sticker with the number 42 on their helmets, and the number has been painted on Powers Field at Princeton Stadium. That number, the only one retired by the Princeton football team, belonged to 1951 Heisman Trophy winner Dick Kazmaier, who is recognized as the greatest player in program history.
Kazmaier, who led Princeton to the 1950 national championship and back-to-back undefeated seasons in 1950 and 1951, passed away on Aug. 1, 2013.
"My admiration for Dick Kazmaier goes well beyond the respect earned by his being the greatest football player in the unmatched history of our Princeton program," head coach Bob Surace '90 said. "Whenever I talk to our team about Dick Kazmaier, it is not about the Heisman, the undefeated seasons, statues or awards. It is about the traits that Dick shared with me in every communication we had, the qualities that make up the ideal Princeton man — character, dignity, strength, intelligence, humility, unselfishness, commitment and passion to be exceptional in every area of life.
"I will cherish the friendship, support and mentorship that I am fortunate to have with Dick Kazmaier and will pass these values along to our future Tigers," Surace added.

This new Gorillaz single "Doncamatic" will be released November 22nd as a 7″ picture disc, CD single and digital bundle, picking up right where they left off on Plastic Beach. The video comes with this message from band member Murdoc:
"I actually found Daley washed up on Plastic Beach – covered in oil and singing to a seagull…or was it an albatross? Anyway, I recognise golden pipes when I hear em' so I popped a bag over his head, hosed the boy down and chucked him in the studio with Noodle and her 8-track. I left them to it while I stepped outside for a Lucky Lung or three, and when I popped back in this is what they'd come up with! Am I a genius or WHAT?!?"

She brought that same interest in non-movie-star people and their lives to her cosmetic line, insisting on price points low enough that most women could afford them. The Nuance products, which Hayek actively helped develop, are based on creams created by her grandmother in the city of Coatzacoalcos, where Hayek grew up, the daughter of an opera singer and a Mexican-Lebanese businessman. Her grandmother, who was a trained cosmetologist, relied on indigenous Mexican ingredients such as bark from the Tepezcohuite tree, which is used to treat burn victims.
The actress recalls accompanying her grandmother to buy bottles of injectable vitamin A (aka retinol). Hayek recommended them to her cosmetic team, but she says the dose turned out to be too concentrated to sell over the counter in the U.S. So they developed a time-release mechanism. Other lines may offer similar creams, Hayek says, but at prices far higher than hers ($22). "Every woman should be entitled to preserve her beauty and youth," she says.
Hayek'sbeauty empire and acting obligations don't take up all her time. She's also developing an animated film adaptation of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet; working with charities that address domestic violence; and promoting the Cooler Cleanse regimen. She plans to do a three-day cleanse herself this weekend, because she wants to drop a few pounds before her husband visits. "Everybody has a weakness," she says. "Mine is food. If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you're in a good place and you're in a bad place at the same time." She laughs. "You have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number. When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse. I think if I was not in love, I would probably let myself go faster. Love gives me the vanity to continue. I'm not necessarily vain, but when I gained fifty-something pounds in the pregnancy, it did something to me. Since then, at least I make an effort."
By now the plane has landed, and we're in a car on the tarmac. I compliment her on her boundless energy. "Ay, I've been tired for five years," she replies. "But I'm the luckiest girl in the world. How could I possibly complain?" In her thirties, she suffered a restless, insecure period, when it felt as if, after Frida,nothing more was going to happen for her. "I could have done anything. I could have played anyone," she says, "but I never got the chance. And I was very frustrated for a long time. But then I became so happy about other things in my life that it didn't matter anymore . A good career—it's a great thing to have. But I see a lot of people with great careers who are not happy people.
"And I never thought that I was going to direct," she continues, "or produce a successful TV show that would help a community or be nominated for an Oscar. My daughter can always say that: 'My mom was this actress from Mexico who was nominated for an Oscar.' "
She certainly never thought her forties would be her favorite decade, but that's what's happening. "I feel more relaxed," she says. "I don't have to prove something. I don't have that urge of 'Something's missing, gotta get out there and find it somehow.' " She hugs me good-bye and gets out of the car. "I was always dreaming big," she sums up, "but my life is better than anything I dreamed."

Ultrasound (US) imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, is a method of obtaining images of internal organs by sending high-frequency sound waves into the body. The soundwave echoes are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. No ionizing radiation (x-ray) is involved in ultrasound imaging. Obstetric ultrasound refers to the specialized use of sound waves to visualize and thus determine the condition of a pregnant woman and her embryo or fetus.
General Electric Medical System's new ultrasound technology that displays clinical images of the human body, allowing physicians and patients to see revolutionary "4D images," is now available at all FMH Imaging locations. The fourth-dimension is real-time motion added to three-dimensional images. This technology dramatically expands diagnostic capabilities, therapy planning and ultrasound-guided minimally invasive diagnostic procedures such as biopsies.
Widely recognized for its clinical use in obstetrics and gynecology, 4D ultrasound with real-time motion is a new, powerful tool that can aid physicians studying the baby's motion, behavior, the baby's surface anatomy, and problems related to a woman's uterus and ovaries.
Obstetric ultrasound should be performed only when clinically indicated. Some indications may be:
You should wear a loose fitting two-piece outfit for the examination. Only the lower abdominal area needs to be exposed during this procedure; consequently, a two-piece outfit will prevent you from having to readjust or remove all of your clothing.
If an ultrasound is required early in your pregnancy, you may be required to have a full bladder for the procedure. Air interferes with soundwaves, so if your bladder is distended, the air-filled bowel is pushed out of the way and an image of the uterus and embryo or fetus is obtained. About an hour and a half before the procedure, you should empty your bladder. You may be instructed to drink up to six glasses of water and avoid urinating until the procedure is completed. A full bladder is usually not necessary in the later stages of pregnancy.
The equipment consists of a transducer and a monitoring system. The transducer is a small hand-held device that resembles a microphone. The radiologist or sonographer spreads a lubricating gel on the area being examined and then presses this device firmly against the skin.
The ultrasound image is immediately visible on a nearby screen that looks much like a computer or television monitor. The radiologist or sonographer watches this screen during an examination and captures representative images for storage. Often, the patient is able to see it as well.
Ultrasound imaging is based on the same principles involved in the sonar used by bats, ships at sea, and anglers with fish detectors. As a controlled sound bounces against objects, its echoing waves can be used to identify how far away the object is, how large it is, its shape and its internal consistency (fluid, solid or mixed).The ultrasound transducer functions as both a loudspeaker (to create the sounds) and a microphone (to record them). For obstetric ultrasound, when the transducer is pressed against the skin, it directs a stream of inaudible, high-frequency sound waves into the lower abdomen. As the sound waves echo from the embryo or fetus and surrounding structures in the uterus, the sensitive microphone in the transducer records tiny changes in the sound's pitch and direction. These signature waves are instantly measured and displayed by a computer, which in turn creates a real-time picture on the monitor.
The live images of the examination can be recorded on videotape. In addition, still frames of the moving picture are usually "frozen" to capture a series of images.Doppler ultrasonography is the application of diagnostic ultrasound used to detect moving blood cells or other moving structures and measure their direction and speed of movement. The Doppler effect is used to evaluate movement by measuring changes in frequency of the echoes reflected from moving structures.The movement of the embryo or fetus and fetal heart can be seen as an ongoing ultrasound "movie." Most ultrasound devices also have an audio component that processes the echoes produced by blood flowing through the fetal heart, blood vessels and umbilical cord. This sound can be made audible to human ears and has been described by patients as a "whooshing noise."
You will be asked to lie on your back or side. You will also be asked to expose your lower abdominal area. The sonographer or radiologist then spreads a warm water-soluble gel over your lower abdomen. This gel allows better transmission of the sound waves by making it easier to move the transducer over your abdomen and by sending the sound beam directly into the body without the interference from even a tiny amount of air on the skin. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves as the sonographer or radiologist moves it over your abdomen. The transducer also detects the echoes that bounce off anatomic structures as reflections.
Sometimes the radiologist determines that a transvaginal scan will need to be performed. Instead of a transducer being moved over your abdomen, the high-frequency waves will be emitted by a probe (transvaginal transducer) placed in the vagina. This technique often provides improved, more detailed images of the uterus and ovaries. It is especially useful in early pregnancy. With this approach the urinary bladder needs to be empty. Below is an example of an endovaginal transducer. Only two to three inches of the transducer are inserted into the vagina. The rest of the probe is a handle for use by the operator.
This is a painless procedure. There may be varying degrees of discomfort from pressure as the sonographer or radiologist guides the transducer over your abdomen, especially if you are required to have a full bladder. At times the sonographer may have to press more firmly to get closer to the embryo or fetus to better visualize the structure. This discomfort is temporary. Also, you may dislike the feeling of the water-soluble gel applied to your abdomen. With transvaginal scanning, there may be minimal discomfort as the probe is moved in the vagina.
A radiologist, who is a physician experienced in obstetric ultrasound and other radiology examinations, will analyze the images and send a signed report with his or her interpretation to the patient's personal physician. The patient receives ultrasound results from the referring physician who ordered the test. New technology also allows for distribution of diagnostic reports and referral images over the Internet at many facilities.
