Getting pregnant after miscarriage
I had a miscarriage about 4 weeks ago. I am still waiting for my period to come so I can start trying again. Are there any cautions to trying again right away? Anything I should do differently to encourage a healthy pregnancy?

I had a miscarriage 7 weeks ago, I just found out 2 weeks ago that I am 6 weeks pregnant, I got pregnant 1 week after my miscarriage, my doctor says everything should be fine and my chances of having another miscarriage are no greater than they were before goodluck ladiesposted 01/11/2010 by stressedmamaof3
I wanted to share my story since I looked on this forum often after miscarrying at 8 weeks. October 15, 2010, my little bean heart stopped beating and I was devastated. I was mainly upset because my husband and I had been trying for some time only to loose it after 8 weeks. I went in for a D & C on the 15th and was sent home feeling empty inside. 6 weeks after the loss of that baby, I got pregnant again and I am now 30 weeks along and he seems healthy per my test. I am in my last trimester and so thankful. Ladies who are going through this, don't loose hope. Everything happens for a reason. Just trust that GOD will turn it around for you.

I miscarried my first pregnancy, I was a little over 3 months along. I got pregnant the following month. 9 months later I had a beutiful & healthy baby girl. All doctors have a different opinion about what you should do. I honestly think that you should try again when you feel that you are ready.posted 02/15/2009 by TBlanton16
i had a miscarriage in may, i was about 5 weeks along... then in july i found out i was pregnant.. according to my MD, i got pregnant a few weeks after the miscarriage! weird, because i was trying NOT to get pregnant but it happened! my MD said that if your body is ready, it'll do whatever it wants to do... she also added that the risks for all pregnancies are the same. i just hope that this one will be a healthy pregnancy. im about 9 weeks now, and i feel completely fine, besides the morning sickness n farigue! all tests are normal, ultrasound is normal... i'll keep praying!posted 07/30/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I was almost 13 weeks pregnant when I had a miscarriage, do to stress, I was heart broken. I became pregnant the following month and the pregnancy went great! I had a beautiful healthy baby boy 7 lbs 9 oz!!!posted 11/09/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a miscarriage at 9-10 weeks on Nov 24th. Really do not know why since utrasound at 8 weeks had shown normal, healthy fetus. I did not need a D & C but did bleed for about 2 weeks after the miscarriage. I got a real period on Christmas Day which was about 20 days after I stopped bleeding from my miscarriage. I also took a pregnancy test after the period b/c I felt bloated and wondered... it came back negative. So in January we tried for the firt time and I felt pregnant for about 2 weeks but thought maybe I was just wanting it so i was making up symptoms.... I went to DR this week and we are 5 weeks pregnant. I do think you are most fertile for the couple months after your miscarrige but you might need to wait until you have had one noraml period before your body will allow you to get pregnant. I was nervous that we did not wait long enough. I have had different DR's tell me to wait 2-3 months and some say no need to wait your body will know when it is time. Good Luck!posted 01/30/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
It's so great to hear the encouragement of these posts. I also enjoy hearing that everyone is trusting in God for the timing that is right! I am just at the end of my first pregnancy, a miscarriage ending. It has been so traumatic and sad, but I know there is hope we will conceive again soon. God bless to all those that are trying! And please, keep posting updates!posted 09/08/2009 by cheerkw
i had a miscarriage at 6 six weeks 5 weeks ago. i was waiting to start my period and then discovered that i am pregnant!!! i must have ovulated 2 weeks after!!!posted 07/02/2009 by evelyndowns
I also had a miscarriage about 3 weeks ago, and questioned how soon I could try to get pregnant again. My doctor advised me to wait for one full cycle to start trying. She said that if I did get pregnant before I had that first period, I could end up with another miscarriage because my hormones are so crazy, and it would be difficult to sustain a pregnancy. I figured one miscarriage was more than enough, so needless to say, I will definately wait a month. Hope this helps!posted 04/19/2008 by sand2005
my doctor told me she believes your body will get pregnant when its ready to get pregnant... so as long as your dealing with it well emotiionally its ok to start trying right away...posted 09/28/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

I want to write a command that specifies "the word under the cursor" in VIM. For instance, let's say I have the cursor on a word and I make it appear twice. For instance, if the word is "abc" and I want "abcabc" then I could type:
But then I'd like to be able to move the cursor to "def" and use the same command to change it to "defdef":
How can I write the command in the commandline so that it does this?

The new edition of Bruce Wingerd's The Human Body: Concepts of Anatomy and Physiology helps encourage learning through concept building, and is truly written with the student in mind. Learning Concepts divide each chapter into easily absorbed subunits of information, making learning more achievable. Since students in a one-semester course may have little experience with biological and chemical concepts, giving them tools such as "concept statements", "concept check" questions, and a "concept block study sheet" at the end of each chapter help them relate complex ideas to simple everyday events. The book also includes a companion Student Notebook and Study Guide (available separately) that reinvents the traditional study guide by giving students a tool to help grasp information in class and then reinforce learning outside of class. With additional, powerful options like PrepU and the ADAM Interactive Anatomy Online Student Lab Activity Guide, students have access to learning activities to help them study, understand, and retain critical course information.

Womens' Institute
The Women's Institute in Sheriffhales is in its sixty-third year. We have a different experience every month on the fourth Thursday, ranging from every possible subject that we might be interested in. We always welcome visitors. Please look on the notices on the board in the lay-by to see the programme for this year.
We have taken part in the Shropshire Federation of Women's Institutes walks this year. In May 2014, several of the Sheriffhales ladies plus supportive family and friends walked two parts of the Shropshire Way to help celebrate SFWI's 95th birthday year. Conquering the Wrekin involved two groups converging at the summit from opposite sides whilst the Ironbridge section took us on a long descent from Benthall, then uphill to Coalbrookdale. Other ladies have delighted in the county walks in various locations. Many members also take part in the walking for health programmes in the village and around the area. Some members have travelled further afield to Denman College again this year. Outings, holidays and activities of all kinds are available from Shropshire Federation. We take part in Shrewsbury Flower Show as either stewards or competitors in August with notable success this year after many years of absence.
We celebrated our Jubilee in 2012 at the same time as Her Majesty The Queen. we were so proud to have received letters in response to Margery Nuttall's initial letter to the palace.
We raise money each year for a local charity. Many ladies enjoyed our Fashion Show last year which raised over £500 for Newport Cottage Care. Our charity for this year has been the Telford MS Society and the fundraiser was a Silent Auction at our birthday party in May. A cheque for £100 was later given to the society.
We look forward to lots of experiences to be shared next year. We have welcomed several new members this year so far and would like to see many more ladies visiting or joining us in 2015. You will find a great welcome!
The W.I. was formed in 1915 and is now the largest voluntary women's organisation in the U.K. It has an unrivalled reputation as the voice of reason, integrity and intelligence on issues that matter to women and their communities
The W.I. campaigns on a wide range of social and environmental issues such as ending violence against women, food, farming and currently the protection of honey bees.
Denman College is the W.I.'s own college in Oxford offering learning opportunities ranging from arts and crafts to information technology and public speaking.
Sheriffhales W.I. began meeting in May 1952 and has a steady membership of around 25. Speakers are invited to meetings to talk to the members on a variety of subjects - covering both serious and light-hearted themes though at all times educational. Group outings are frequently arranged visiting places of interest or the theatre.
The W.I. I s not about making jam and cakes - as delicious as they are - we have been fund raising - last year we supported the New Village Hall Fund and this year we are arranging events to raise funds for the Lingen Davies Cancer Centre.
Why not come and visit us - you might be pleasantly surprised - the venue Sheriffhales Village Hall - 7.30 p.m. on the 4th Thursday of each month.

Welcome to Romance. . .
Every romance novel has two basic elements:
- A Central Love Story: The main plot centers around two individuals falling in love and struggling to make the relationship work. A writer can include as many subplots as he/she wants as long as the love story is the main focus of the novel.
- An Emotionally-Satisfying and Optimistic Ending: Usually the story ends with the lovers living "happily ever after". The reader is left with the belief that whatever else happens the two lovers will remain together and happy with their relationship. (So while Romeo & Juliet may be romantic it's not a Romance.)
Romance novels may have any tone or style, be set in any place or time, and have varying levels of sensuality—ranging from sweet to extremely hot.
Sweet or Sexy?
Do you prefer a chaste love story, with nothing more explicit than holding hands? Or do you prefer something more sensual, even erotic? Or perhaps you prefer something in-between depending on your mood.
Most readers have a definite preference regarding the explicitness and development of the physical relationship in a Romance. So, sensuality ratings for suggested titles are provided on this guide. The rating system is based heavily on the system created by a website called All About Romance.
Below is a complete explanation of each level of rating from All About Romance:
|Kisses only. Many of these books are quite simply "sweet."
|Most traditional Regencies fit this category, as well Harlequin Romance and Silhouette Romance titles. Authors who tend to write "Kisses" romances include Betty Neels, Nicole Burnham, Lisa Wingate, and Donna Simpson.
|No explicit sensuality. Kissing and touching, but physical romance is described in general terms or implied. The emphasis is on how lovemaking made the characters feel emotionally, and not on graphic description, although this does not equate to the use of euphemism or only "petting." Rather, if lovemaking occurs, it is alluded to rather than described, so that the reader's imagination becomes paramount.
|Many Harlequin American Romances are written with "Subtle" sensuality. Authors who write at this level of sensuality include Pamela Morsi, LaVyrle Spencer, Debbie Macomber, and Deborah Smith. Traditional Regency authors who tend to write books with "Subtle" sensuality include Patricia Oliver and Karen Harbaugh.
|Moderately explicit sensuality. While our lovers do make love, and the reader is there with them, physical details are described, but are not graphically depicted. Much is left to the reader's imagination and/or possibly the use of euphemistic "code words." But what's most important are feelings and emotions, not body parts. While there is sexual tension, there may not be more than one or two love scenes in the whole book. The vast majority of single title romances feature "Warm" sensuality.
|Series lines that are generally "Warm" include Harlequin American Romance and Silhouette Special Edition. The vast majority of single title romances fall in either the "Warm" or "Hot" category. Authors who often write at this level of sensuality include Nora Roberts, Susan Wiggs, Rebecca York, Judith Arnold, Mary Balogh (trads and single titles), Edith Layton, and Candace Camp.
|Very explicit sensuality. There is an expanded focus throughout the book on sexual feelings and desires. The love scenes are longer, and there are at least two or three of them. The characters often think about their sexual feelings and desires, and making love is graphically depicted, and there may be strong use of euphemistic "code words." Both the emotions of the hero and heroine and the physical feelings of both are important during love scenes.
|Most Harlequin Temptations and Blazes, as well as a good number of Silhouette Desires, are "Hot." Authors who tend to write "Hot" romances include J.D. Robb, Leanne Banks, Stephanie Laurens, Gaelen Foley, Karen Marie Moning, Linda Howard, Lisa Kleypas, Susan Andersen, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and pre-romantic suspense Julie Garwood
|Extremely explicit sensuality - these books are often considered "romantica," a hybrid between erotica and romance.. Sexual feelings and desires are strongly focused on and some books in this category have sex as the primary focus. The details are thoroughly graphic, and may include what some readers might consider kinky.
|Many Harlequin Blaze titles are "Burning," as are many of Kensington's Brava line. Authors who are writing Burning romance include "old-line" authors such as Susan Johnson, Thea Devine, and Bertrice Small (who never met a manroot she didn't love), and newer authors to romantica such as Alison Kent, Emma Holly, Cheryl Holt, and Angela Knight

Perennial Favorites
With so many options, choosing a romance novel can quickly get overwhelming. Here are several titles that are perennial favorites of Romance Readers:
Irish Born contains all the three of the Born In trilogy. Glass-blowing, the international art world, and a wild Irish setting form the backdrop for the first Born in fire.
Margaret Mary Concannon is a brilliant and tormented glass-blowing artist who hides from her past in her work.
Pride and Prejudice recounts the story of lively and rebellious Elizabeth Bennet, one of five unmarried daughters living in the countryside of 19th century England. In a world where obtaining an advantageous marriage is a woman's sole occupation, Elizabeth's independent manner threatens her family's future.
Minerva Dobbs thought David Fisk might be "The One", until he dumps her three weeks before her sister's wedding because she won't sleep with him. Min realizes just *how* lucky she is to be rid of David when she overhears him at her favorite bar betting a handsome stranger, Calvin Morrisey, that Cal couldn't bed Min in a month.
Min debates giving them both a piece of her mind, but then she remembers she still needs a date for the wedding. Why not use the all-too charming Cal just like he was going to use her, and then dump him? Of course, Min never expected that Cal might turn out to be "The One".
Dr. Kelly Ashton is also returning home; but she's here to nurse her father, Charles Ashton, who has cancer and only has 3 months to live. Reunited with her one-time friend and would-be lover after 16 years, Kelly is determined that this time she'll go after who she really wants.

One conversation and Veronica knows nothing could turn this military man into nobility. Joe, on the other hand, is confident he's got what it takes to complete his duty. But neither of them expects their assignment to include falling in love.

Reviews for Cathedral Cookies
"This is a childhood favorite! I made it again using this recipe, and it was perfectly like the one I remember!"
"These cookies were really easy to make, taste really good, and will look great on my Christmas cookie tray when I make a second batch of them - I brought the first batch to a friend's holiday party last week and everyone loved them!"
"my mother used to make these when I was growing up now that I have the recipe I will be able to make them for myself. these were always the first one I ate."
"I wish Taste of Home would let me revise my previous rating! After letting these mellow for two days, they turned out to be something we really enjoyed. I would now rate these as FOUR STARS. **** It has since become a regular part of my Christmas Cookie Platter.I also would like to correct a typo in my original review (dated 12/14/2009):*I relied on my own experience and melted the CHOCOLATE CHIPS gently in the microwave, then added shortening instead of butter."

Because New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush suffered a broken right fibula, or calf bone, which is the smaller of the two bones in the lower leg and only supports about 10 to 15 percent of the body's weight, he likely will be able to recover in time for the second half of the season. He could return in four to six weeks, said Joel Segal, Bush's agent.Bush broke his fibula in Monday night's 25-22 victory against the 49ers in San Francisco.
The injury, which Segal said won't require surgery, occurred as Bush tried to recover his own muffed punt, but it is not expected to keep the versatile player from returning to form as one of the NFL's most electric dual-threat running backs, an orthopedic surgeon said.
"There are two bones in the lower leg, " said Dr. Gregory Stewart, an orthopedic surgeon at the Tulane Institute of Sports Medicine. "The shinbone is the tibia and the small bone is the fibula. It's the small bone that he broke.
"The small bone when you walk, only about 10 or 15 percent of your body weight goes to the small bone. So it is not as important. In fact, in some people you can do a bone graft and take part of the fibula out and do fine without having all of it."
Bush, who's listed at 6 feet and 203 pounds, was face-down on the turf trying to corral the football when 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks, 6-3 and 259 pounds, crashed into his leg.
Stewart, who hasn't evaluated Bush, said he could tell Bush's broken leg wasn't too serious as he watched the running back try to make his way off the field.
"There are two ways in sports that you end up breaking your fibula, " Stewart said. "One of them is a direct blow, and that pretty much is what Reggie had. When you look at the video, I don't know if it was the leg whip because you can see his leg pop up and then it hits another player's leg or when the guy lands on it.
"It can be either one of them. That's actually the better way to break this bone because if it is a direct blow and it just breaks in that one spot, then you don't have to worry about the ankle joint.
"So if it is just a direct blow on that bone, then you have to wait for it to heal because like any broken bone, it hurts. The bigger issue is the pain from the broken bone. That generally takes four to six weeks. Then you pad it up."
Neither Bush, 25, who left Candlestick Park on crutches, nor Saints officials were available for comment Tuesday. But Saints Coach Sean Payton is expected to address Bush's status today.
With Bush out, the Saints are thin at running back. The only healthy tailbacks on the roster are Pierre Thomas and Deshawn Wynn. Undrafted rookie Chris Ivory, who overcame long odds to make the team with a sensational preseason, has not practiced since suffering a knee injury in the final preseason game. He is expected to miss about two more weeks.
Meanwhile, the Saints already appear to be looking to fill Bush's void.
The team is expected to have veteran running back Ladell Betts in for a workout, a league source said.
Betts, an eight-year veteran, spent most of the preseason with the Saints before being released on the team's final roster cut down.
Betts, 31, spent his first eight seasons with the Washington Redskins as a valuable backup and fill-in starter. But the 5-11, 225-pounder suffered a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament last season and just returned to full-speed work last month.
If Bush doesn't have any setbacks, he could return as early as the Saints' game Oct. 24 against the Cleveland Browns at the Superdome, or perhaps against the Pittsburgh Steelers a week later at home. At minimum, Bush is expected to miss games against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday and the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 3, both at home, and then road games against the Arizona Cardinals and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
While Bush is an integral part of the Saints' potent offense, the unit has been able to perform well in his past absences.
In the 12 games Bush has missed during his career, the Saints have gone 8-4 and averaged 33.3 points a game.
Bush's injury is the latest in what has become a series of annual ailments for him.
Since playing in every game as a rookie, Bush has not been able to hold up for an entire season in any of the past three seasons.
In 2007, he missed the final four games of the season with a torn posterior cruciate ligament, which required a couple months of recovery.
Then in 2008, he suffered a torn meniscus, which required arthroscopic surgery and sidelined him for four games. He returned for three games, but that injury to his left knee forced Bush to the injured reserve list in Week 15 and required a microfracture procedure.
Last season, a bruised knee forced Bush to miss two games during the Saints' Super Bowl-winning season.
But this malady is different, Stewart said, comparing Bush's past recovery time from injury to what the running back now faces.
"With the ligaments a lot of times you have to go if it's an anterior cruciate, then you have to go and repair that, " Stewart said. "If it's the ankle then you have to repair it. This one the body will take care of.
"Yeah, you hate to have any kind of injury, but he probably will be just fine with this one."

Christina Hendricks used to be a fashion model working the runways of Europe. While she had big boobs for a model, they were definitely not the 38DDD size they are now. She states that once she left modeling and got into acting, she gained weight. She took on a sexy, voluptuous physique and left behind the skinny model body she needed for the catwalk. And she was soon busting out of her bras and becoming famous for her pillowy and creamy breasts. There is probably not one man who reads this blog who hasn't dreamt of giving Christina Hendricks a pearl necklace, being smothered by her huge breasts, being hypnotized by her luscious breasts or playing out whatever his breast fetish or fantasy may be with Christina and her chichis.
There are some bloggers who claim that Christina's boobs are fake, but they look way too soft and natural to be fakes. Realistically, she did admit to gaining in the range of 40 – 50 pounds once she stopped doing haute couture fashion modeling. She was tired of starving herself and being semi-anorexic all the time. You can't blame a woman for wanting to enjoy food and have big, beautiful breasts as a result!

This bipartisan caucus aims to provide educators, students, and everyday individuals, along with Members of Congress, with the tools and knowledge to not only address incidents of bullying effectively but to prevent them from occurring in the first place.
The round table discussion will consist of three panels. The first, moderated by PFLAG National's very own Executive Director, Jody Huckaby, will provide an overview on bullying behavior and power dynamics. The second, moderated by Eliza Byard, Executive Director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), will discuss the roles and responsibilities of adults in preventing bullying. And finally, the third panel, moderated by Rep. Mike Honda himself, will look towards the future with the hope of finding tangible ways to eradicate bullying once and for all. The round table will then be followed by an evening reception and a screening of the film Bully, which profiles the lives of several young teenagers and their families as well as their intimate experiences with bullying.
The importance of hosting such a caucus can be seen in the Chairman's Message on the Caucus' website. Here, Rep. Honda discusses how: "Every year, millions of Americans are physically or psychologically attacked on the basis of their skin color, ethnicity, physical or mental abilities, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, religion, or age. Addressing the bullying epidemic—in our schools, in the workplace, in assisted-living facilities—is a concern very close to my heart. It is our responsibility as human beings to empower the individuals who are discriminated against, scapegoated, and silenced by society."
Take Action: As PFLAGers, we all agree with Rep. Honda that bullying is a concern very close to our hearts. Here are steps that you can take:
- Contact your Elected Officials and urge them to support legislation that ensures all youths grow up in a safe and loving environment. This legislation includes the Safe Schools Improvement Act and the Student Non-Discrimination Act.
- Learn more about the Congressional Anti-Bullying Caucus' Launch Event by visiting the event's website. The first step in eradicating bullying is to be informed about the issue. Download a copy of the CABC Launch Packet and help Congress create safe and supportive communities for everyone in the PFLAG family.

A report from Foreign Policy this morning describes the setting at the Syrian peace talks in Switzerland. They describe the environment as "bitter".
Of course it is. Assad is accused of war crimes. Syria blames the conflict on western influence led by the US arming the rebels. They forgot to mention that Russia is arming the government to wage war against civilians and rebels.
All of the parties to which the war of words is waged are at the table except Iran. Why not have Iran at the table too?
- Is it because having Iran at the table might fuel the environment with the propensity toward a wider conflict?
- Might Iran's presence simply complicate and add to the fog of the situation?
- Is it because Iran doesn't deserve to be at the table?
- Who are the other undeserving parties at the table?
- Russia and China are proxies for Syria and Iran, right?
Secretary Kerry said this will be a long process. Correct, it will be. What do the parties think about U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon as peacemaker? It seems that he is surely trying to be an even-handed mediator.
If he pulls off a peace agreement, he might be on the cover of Time magazine or a candidate for the Nobel prize.
"Syria Peace Conference Opens With Bitter Remarks
A long-planned peace conference opened Wednesday in Montreux, Switzerland with the Syrian government and opposition meeting face to face for the first time since fighting began in March 2011. In his opening remarks, opposition leader Ahmed Jarba accused Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of war crimes, bringing up new evidence of torture investigated by three war crimes prosecutors, and demanded the government delegation agree to the "Geneva I" transition of power. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem accused the West of "pouring arms" into Syria and backing terrorism. He addressed U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who said Assad had lost legitimacy and that there could be no place for him in a transitional government, asserting, "No one, Mr. Kerry, has the right to withdraw legitimacy of the [Syrian] president other than the Syrians themselves." U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon appealed to the warring parties to seize the opportunity to resolve their conflict. The conference began with more than 30 international governments, but is expected to be followed by mediated talks between government and opposition representatives at the end of the week. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, whose invite to the conference was withdrawn on Monday, said the peace talks were unlikely to succeed due to the lack of influential players at the meeting. Russian and U.S. officials noted the talks would be complicated and the process would not be quick, though according to a senior U.S. administration official, "the opening of the process is important." Meanwhile, clashes were reported in several areas of Syria on Wednesday including the suburbs of Damascus, Daraa, Idlib, and Homs. Additionally, a government airstrike killed 10 people in the northern city of Aleppo on Tuesday, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights."

On Friday, April 29th, I sat in the rear of the 12th floor banquet hall at IIE's New York Headquarters, humbled to be a part of the 2016 Scholar Rescue Fund Forum, "Scholar Voices and University Action." Surrounding me were highly accomplished individuals from education, human rights and government sectors, paired with persecuted scholars from all around the globe, each with a story to tell and a profound determination to make an impactful change.
Over the past two weeks, the Institute has been asked to make a series of presentations on how higher education can respond to the current refugee crisis. Sarah Willcox, Director of IIE's Scholar Rescue Fund and I spoke at The Rockefeller University, Nikki Davis, Program Manager of IIE Initiatives, chaired a panel during a UN high-level event on "Teaming Up to Boost Higher Education Opportunities in Emergencies," the Best Practices Conference hosted this year by the University of California at Davis convened a pre-conference workshop on "Project No More Lost Generation: Principles of Higher Education Support," and James King, Assistant Director of the Scholar Rescue Fund, represented IIE in Helsinki at a conference on opportunities for Finnish higher education institutions to become involved in the IIE-Scholar Rescue Fund to support Syrian scholars.
IIE-SRF's recently announced partnership with Finland's Centre for International Mobility (CIMO) is the beginning of a trans-Atlantic cooperation that will better serve scholars from Iraq and Syria displaced from their homes by war and violence. To mark this unique partnership, IIE interviewed CIMO's Director General, Samu Seitsalo and CIMO's Head of Unit, Higher Education Cooperation, Maija Airas about their mission, the importance of supporting higher education in emergencies, and what attracted them to the IIE-SRF model.
The conflict in Syria has become the 21st century's worst humanitarian crisis. The numbers are staggering:
Combined, that's over half of Syria's pre-war population.
The Institute of International Education (IIE) recently released new Open Doors data showing that the number of international students coming to the United States had jumped by 10 per cent to total almost 1 million students from more than 200 countries.
On October 19th, IIE Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE-SRF) supporters and guests celebrated the art and work of IIE-SRF alumna Jumana Jaber at a reception at IIE's headquarters in New York City. Dr. Jaber is a Syrian artist and professor of visual art and design whose artwork has been exhibited in Poland, the United States, and Syria, including at the Syrian Ministry of Culture and the National Museum of Damascus. Her portfolio spans architecture, interior design, and the foundations of Islamic art, including pieces that explore the relationship between ancient and contemporary architecture in Syria.
Here in Germany it is clear that they cannot take all refugees traveling their direction, or even all that have already arrived. It is also clear that Angela Merkel is in real trouble for trying, and that the Germans in the higher education space want their country to lead the way in helping.
Daniela Kaisth, Vice President for External Affairs and IIE Initiatives, and I were honored to represent the Institute at a celebration in Berlin for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the German Academic Exchange Service, or DAAD.
Our experience suggests that fragile states cannot succeed without major investments in higher education. Accordingly, neglecting academic needs during and after armed conflict raises the risk of failure once peace is restored—with security implications for the rest of the world. As noted by IIE Vice President Daniela Kaisth, "there is widespread recognition that education at all levels must be protected during war for the vital role it plays in preserving leadership, stabilizing societies, and once conflict subsides, rebuilding peaceful and prosperous communities."
You probably have never heard of the Global Platform for Syrian Students. I hadn't heard of them either until about two years ago when the President of Carnegie Corporation of New York, Dr. Vartan Gregorian, introduced us.
For more than nine decades, the Institute of International Education has been at the forefront of international education. The Opening Minds blog is IIE's take on how this field continues to change. Here the Institute's leaders will explore international educational exchange, global student mobility, institutional partnerships, international development, and other topics and trends that are shaping higher education around the world.

Theistic Arguments: Argument from Design
The Argument from Design, or Paley's Teleological Argument, is together with the First Cause argument probably the most important theistic argument. It seems pretty strong until looked at very well. And looking well is what we're here for.
A theologian-philosopher during the 18th century, William Paley's best known contribution to the field of theology is his Teleological Argument. This argument states that the world exhibits so much detail, sophistication, purpose en design that it is inevitable to come to the conclusion that it was designed by a being we call God. The reasoning goes like this:
1. Everything we've seen that looks designed has a designer. (Axiom)
2. The Universe looks like it has been designed. (Axiom)
3. Therefore the Universe must have a designer. (From 2 & 3)
4. This designer is God.
A better known version of this argument uses a watch as an allegory for the universe. It goes like this: Suppose that you were walking along a beach somewhere, and suddenly you saw a pocketwatch lying on the ground. Opening the watch you would see the intricate detail that makes it all work. You would immediately assume that something like this had been designed, that it could not have come about by mere chance.
If you look at the human eye you see even more detail and complexity, and you must likewise assume a designer for the human eye. The natural conclusion would of course be that the entire universe has a designer, being God.
Now does this line of reasoning work, or is it flawed? Let's look at Axiom 1, which states that everything we've seen that looks designed has a creator. You should, of course, think about watches, computers, televisions, Positive Atheism FAQ's, etc. However, if you really think about the axiom, you see that it is the prelude to a monstrous circular reasoning: saying that everything we've seen that looks designed has a designer assumes that the Universe and the solar system and many more things in nature, which look designed, have a designer. But how can we accept this statement as an axiom, since it is exactly what one wants to prove? Thus the first axiom should be 'Many things we've seen that look designed have a designer.' But changing the axiom in this way invalidates the third step of the reasoning, thus destroying Paley's argument.
But is there not a very strong link between the Universe and a watch? Is this not a powerful allegory? No, and for several reasons. First, as Hume said, it is almost preposterous to compare the Universe to a watch. We know very little about the universe, and almost everything about a pocketwatch. He argued that for a comparison to make any sense it should be made between two objects we have equal understanding about. The dissimilarity between the Universe and even the most complex of things we know are designed is so huge that the worth of the argument is almost zero.
Secondly, it can be easily seen that everything we know is designed was designed by living beings from earth. Thus, the first axiom might well be changed to 'All things made by living beings from earth that look designed have a designer.' This shows once again that the argument cannot be used on anything like the Universe, or for that matter, the eye. We could even change the axiom to 'All things that we know are designed have been designed by beings from earth'. This leads to the preposterous conclusion that the Universe has been designed by someone from earth! But this line of reasoning is no less valid than Paley's.
Thirdly, watches show marks of being made (marks from milling, stamping, etc.). The Universe does not show those marks. This is another huge difference between the Universe and a watch.
Fourthly, we can visit any number of watchmakers we want. We can see watches being made. We can read how watches are made. We can ask the local watchmaker to make a specially designed watch for us. If I showed you an egg and told you that I knew a man who made custom eggs, you would rightly doubt my word, for you've never seen an eggmaker. Thus the conclusion that a certain object was designed and made is based on the knowledge that such an object can be made, more than on the complexity of the object itself.
There are still more arguments against the Argument from Design. For God is surely more detailed, sophisticated and purposeful than anything in the universe? Then God must have been designed and created, by a being I will call GodGod. And GodGod must have been designed by GodGodGod, ad infinitum. If on the other hand we say that God does not need a designer, than surely we can say that the Universe, which is less complex, needs no designer. And again the Argument falls.
And in fact everything science finds seems to indicate that there is no design to the universe. Evolution shows us that life does not need to have a designer. Astrophysic models tell us how stars, galaxies etc can be formed from more or less homogenous clouds of matter. The Big Bang theory tells us how these clouds could have come into existence without any design at all. Everything we find seems to shout at us 'There is no designer! It's all just the laws of nature!' We do not need God to explain our Universe.
Until and unless all these problems are adressed, the Argument from Design is worthless. It is not proof of the existence of God.

As the debate over the hot topic, "does an accurate representation of ROI (Return On Investment) exist in social media?" continues to divide brands and social media experts alike, one NBC executive's statement on social media and television showed that many big brands are still mining the wrong data sets in their search for ROI.
According to NBC Universal's (NBCU) head of research, Alan Wurtzel, social media is not yet a "game changer" when it comes to influencing television ratings. This, after the data collected regarding social media and the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics showed that only 19% of viewers commented about the Olympics on social media.
"A lot of people want to show that they are on the cutting edge. One of the things that is on the cutting edge is social media," Wurtzel stated in an interview with the Financial Times. "Why wouldn't I want to say to you, 'We have a potent new way in which we can drive ratings?'"
"It just isn't true. I am saying the emperor wears no clothes. It is what it is. These are the numbers."
However, contrary to Wurtzel's findings, there are a number of television shows, from 'Arrested Development' to 'The Game', that can attribute their revivals from cancellation to social media, and do so with data. In fact, studies have shown that over 24% of social media users use these mediums to connect with other fans of shows they like. Over time, these pockets of fans form communities on social media, and over time, it's the collective voice of these connected communities that can have the greatest impact regarding social media and television. In the example of 'The Game', the show attributes its survival, and ultimate success, to social media.
Meaning, for 'The Game', social media was literally a "game changer" for the television show.
The fact of the matter is, though, none of these success stories deal with a sample size of data collected over just two weeks, as is the case with the Winter Olympics, because two weeks is simply not enough time for fans to connect and communities to form on social media.
In other words, the lifespan of the Olympics is not conducive to the driving force behind success in social media.
I would equate the reaction of Mr. Wurtzel to his findings to that of a "mom and pop" shop that created a Facebook page, posted sparingly over the course of a month, then deemed their time on social media a failure when nothing happened. In the case of the Winter Olympics, their "relevant lifespan" is so short that its popularity on social media is a flash in the pan. Sure, the Olympics return two years later (Summer/Winter), but with brand new characters and story lines.
To put the Olympics timeline in perspective, even the worst television shows usually last longer than two weeks. With so little time in its lifespan, the possibility for community building in this case is ultimately nil, and therefore its opportunity to build social media "buzz" is pretty much nil as well.
It's hard to fathom that an executive of Mr. Wurtzel's nature would not factor in the lifespan of the Winter Olympics before making such a bold statement, nor consider the possibility that the "failure" could somehow be attributed to their own doing (i.e. putting @sochi2014 in the bottom of the screen and foregoing any explanation of it, or providing any incentive for following them), but his statements are reflective of many big brands that claim "social media does not work".
In an astounding number of these cases, the real explanation of their social media "failure" is a result of an attitude that social media exists as a tool for instant recognition, much like a billboard on a busy highway, rather than a platform for expanding your brand through engagement, relationship building, and connections.
Further, the resounding number of brands that have found success in business via social media tends to suggest that television executives may need to look in the mirror concerning their attitudes toward social media before pointing their fingers.
I've written this before, and will continue writing it until I leave the Examiner, but if you are a social media marketer or small business owner, DON'T listen to big brands opinions on social media, and carefully scrutinize articles that cite big brand's success as examples of how your business can succeed. Success in social media is, and always will be, a result of quality and consistent effort, constant engagement, and community building. And, ultimately, that takes time.

The information below should be okay for PCs up to and including Windows 7 era. The author of this website has no knowledge of Windows 8 computers.
lot of people are still uncertain about how to partition their hard
disks. I have made two similar web pages, they both end up with exactly
the same installation.
The difference between this web page and my other one is that in this installation the partitioning work will be performed during the installation with the Ubuntu installer's inbuilt Gnu Parted partition editing program.
The other web page shows how to use Gnome Partition Editor (GParted), to partition the hard disc in advance of the installation. Ubuntu / Windows - Graphical Installation C.
|Most experts recommend using Windows own Disk Manager for shrinking the
Windows partition from within Windows 7 or Windows Vista. This is not
only possible, it is quite quick and easy too.
If you think you would prefer to use Windows own disk manager to resize your Vista or Windows 7 partition smaller to make room for Ubuntu before going any further with your installation you are welcome to.
The How-To Geek has the how-to for that, 'Resize a Partition for Free in Windows Vista'.
There are some limitations and caveats involved with using Windows own Disk Manager to shrink Windows.
For one it requires defragmenting the drive first, and defragging usually takes a lot of extra time.
Secondly and probably worse, the Windows MFT and page files show up as 'immovable files' which the Windows Disk Manager can't deal with. The most you can possibly shrink Windows is half way, (where you bump into the MFT), and that's only if you're lucky enough not to run into stray fragments of page file first.
Thirdly there's also a risk is your hard disk might fail to be recognized by the Ubuntu installer and not appear in the list of disks it's possible to install Ubuntu in.
There's no evidence to suggest that Windows own partitioning software is really any more reliable than any other partition editor but if you damage your Windows system with its own software it's no concern for me or other proponents of open source.
No matter what software you choose for shrinking Windows, I recommend running a thorough file system check such as CHKDSK /R beforehand, repeating until no more errors are found.
You should have a backup copy of all your files stored on some other media, operating system installation DVDs/CDs and installed software disks before using any disk partitioning program.
This website is about how to use open source software so the installations in this site demonstrate the use of open source programs. Both GParted and the Ubuntu Installer's partitioner based on GParted can resize Windows regardless of the state of fragmentation or so called 'immovable' files.

Acting on a tip, police found a robbery suspect hiding in a closet early Wednesday.
The 26-year-old man hid there as police entered the apartment in the 1500 block of Bell Street about 6 a.m. Wednesday, more than two miles from where police say the man and an accomplice held up a video store.
About six hours earlier, two men had entered the Hollywood Video store, 5710 W. 45th Ave., and demanded money, according to police reports.
The suspects ran from the store and darted northbound, making off with an undetermined amount of cash.
Police booked Anthony Charles Foster Jr. into Randall County Jail on an aggravated robbery charge.
Police are still looking for the other suspect.

Fallen soldier's father keeps memory alive with scholarship foundation
Published: Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 2:31 p.m.
DELTONA - When Tara Jacobs-Brown found her educational path, she soared. On Feb. 16, her father, Jim Jacobs, is holding a scholarship fundraiser celebration in honor of Brown who was killed in Afghanistan on April 27, 2011.
Jacobs started the Tara Jacobs-Brown Scholarship Foundation in July. His goal is to raise enough money to give scholarships to college-bound students in Volusia County.
"It's a way of keeping her memory alive. I wanted to do something she would be proud of me for doing," said Jacobs.
Brown graduated from Deltona High School in 1995. She enlisted in the Air Force and reported to basic training in February 1996.
Jacobs said his daughter was never an "A student," but when she attended a computer class during her time at Andrews Air Force Base, Brown found what she loved to learn about and her belief in the power of education came to life. When Brown was selected to teach computer classes to Afghan troops in Kabul, "She was so excited about being a part of history," said Jacobs.
On her way home, in the Kabul airport on April 27, 2011, Brown was fatally wounded by an Afghan military pilot who opened fire on the crowd. Six other American military personnel and a U.S. contractor also were killed in the attack. Brown is the first African-American woman to have her portrait placed in the Air Force Office of Special Investigations Hall of Heroes.
Jacobs and his daughter were very close. He said the outpouring of sympathy from everyone who knew Brown has been both comforting and eye-opening.
"Speaking with some of her peers and her commanders, they told me how she helped people. She volunteered for a woman's shelter. She loved to help people who couldn't help themselves," said Jacobs.
"I'm hoping to start out helping students who are trying to go to college. I want to continue the way she would do if it was me that was gone," said Jacobs.
On Feb. 16, Jacobs is hosting the first Tara Jacobs-Brown Scholarship Foundation fundraising dinner at the Clarion Hotel, 305 E. International Speedway Blvd., DeLand at 4 p.m. Guest speakers will include Air Force Col. Robert W. Trayers Jr., retired Lt. Col. Sarajane Stenton, Command Chief Master Sgt. Max N. Grindstaff and Master Sgt. Sonya Couture.
Tickets are $50. Mail ticket money or scholarship donations to P.O. Box 22372, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830. Call Jacobs at 407-231-0411 or visit tarajacobsbrownscholarshipfoundation.webs.com.

In this Digital Age, part of what makes a great city is its connectedness to the Internet.
The growth of online business, smartphones with mobile applications, social networking, and GIS are instrumental in improving the quality of life in cities worldwide.
In New York City, for instance, GIS tracking was essential to delivering emergency services during Superstorm Sandy. In Tokyo and Seoul mobile banking is integral to everyday life. In Prague, Amsterdam, or Montreal youthful travelers easily keep in touch with home. The Internet, in short, is fundamental to urban life, and the more applications the better.
In this report, we at Future Cities have taken a look at the quality of Internet connectivity across cities worldwide, using the following criteria to let the cream rise to the top:
So without further ado, we present you with our list, in no particular order. Enjoy -- and tell us what you think on the message board!

Mid-2011; the "IT" information technology paradigm is morphing. The introduction and collision of tablets and smart phones in both the consumer and the business-use IT spheres is suddenly causing a very rapid, and complete evolutionary inflection in the concept of information "device".
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer unknowingly pointed out this change at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Los Angeles this week, but then apparently missed this huge point too. Mr. Ballmer and other MS executives talked about the current MS system design philosophy that "a tablet is just another PC", while making it clear that, as Microsoft sees it, a phone is not a PC at all.

This'll definitely work. A terrific performance with the Lawrence Welk Orchestra on the TV show from early 1960s. Includes a little banter, including comment by Welk that he'd been trying to get them on the show for several years. Songs "It Hurts Me" and "Paper Doll".
I'm often the grocery runner at our house. I'll hit the store on my way back from a Computer Guy service call, so I haven't had a chance to pick up a shopping list at home.
For short lists, text messages can get a list to my phone OK. For slightly longer lists, my wife will write it on a piece of paper and then shoot a picture of it with her phone and send it as a photo message. This also works very well.
But if the list is long, then I need to able to check off the items as I pick them up. Otherwise, inexpert shopper that I am, I have to keep checking my work.

Smartphones and "pad" devices are swell tools and/or playthings, whether Android or Apple or Windows. All the smartness, though, brings a problem with battery life. Where cell phones can go for days in standby mode, smartphones and pads are lucky if they can go even one day on standby without a visit to the charger. And you're actually using the thing, then your battery life is down to a few hours.
So what's the deal with smartphone battery life, and is there any way it can be extended?
The thing is, some of the "smart" part is always working "in the background". That is, even when you're not actually using an app, it might still be loaded up and doing something to be ready for you. And this "background" action is always eating away at battery life.

It's a good idea to change your computer keyboard. Or; at the least, it's not a bad one.
If your wrists hurt, or if your fingers complain with every keystroke, then you should change your keyboard. Even if you just don't always find it comfortable to type on your keyboard, then it's time to find a new keyboard.
Yes, you can do this. It's easy to do, usually inexpensive, and you can do it yourself!
The right keyboard for you can make a difference in your comfort, your efficiency and your well-being. You'll type faster and the process can ease the stress on your hands and wrists that comes from repetitive motion. Even if you use a laptop for most or all of your work, you can easily add a separate, more comfortable full-sized keyboard to use when you are in your office or at home.

If you are a Verizon Wireless customer, as we are, it turns out to be pretty easy to block calls and text messages from certain phone numbers that may be spamming you. I don't know about other carriers, but they all must have something similar.
In the case of VZW, the first thing that you need is to have your "My Verizon" online account set up. If you don't have one, it's easy to sign up, and it's included free with your Verizon Wireless account. Just go online to www.VerizonWireless.com and click on one of the "My Verizon" or "My Account" links and follow the instructions to sign up.

Just got some Skullcandy "Riot" headphones to replace the swell Sennheiser CX-300's that I'd had for a couple of years. Two pairs of those in two years. Loved'em. Don't know why I decided to try the Skullcandy model, unless it was the lower price.
I wish that I'd ordered another set of Sennheiser's when the second pair quit.

THE leader of a town's Labour Party has come out fighting after he was one of six cabinet members sacked.
Hartlepool borough councillor Gerard Hall said Mayor Stuart Drummond had made a mistake by sacking six cabinet members for failing to support a budget that was agreed in cabinet meetings.
The mayor also said he understood the six cabinet members were under threat of expulsion from the Labour party if they voted against Labour Party amendments to the budget.
Loading article content
The six cabinet members failed to attend when the budget went before last Thursday's full council meeting for a final decision.
During that meeting, three amendments were proposed by the Labour Group, the most important being to stop the privatisation of the council's IT services. That was against the wishes of Mr Drummond, who said outsourcing would save money.
Coun Hall said: "It is not the case we were under threat of expulsion. It is pure speculation by the mayor to say that.
"The other point on the budget is that the amendments were supported across the board, Conservative, Liberal Democrats and an Independent.
The budget is set by full council, not the Mayor, and this was democracy in action."
• Yesterday, we identified Coun Jonathan Brash as leader of the Labour group. In fact, Coun Hall recently took over the role.

Don't you just hate it when you turn on the faucet and all you get from the showerhead are trickles of water?
The problem most likely is low water pressure, which is usually caused by broken pressure regulators, poor elevation, main valves set to a minimum, water leaks, or mineral deposit build-up.
Replace broken pressure regulators
Shaped like a bell, the pressure regulator is usually found below the hose connection in the front of your home. If the pressure regulator stops working, it may cause low water pressure in the water fixtures in your home. This is one plumbing problem that is better left to the professionals. Homeowners who try to fix or replace their pressure regulators often end up creating a bigger problem and spending more for repairs in the long run. A licensed plumber can easily replace or fix a regulator at a reasonable price.
Modify your elevation
Gravity plays an important role in the flow of water into your home. If your house is located higher than your water source, you might experience some problems with water pressure. It can be difficult for water to reach your second floor bathroom if your water tank is located in your basement. Make sure your water storage tank is located higher than your home plumbing. This helps the water flow faster and easier, giving you greater water pressure.
Max out your main valve
Sometimes main water valves get accidentally moved or turned off without the homeowner realizing it. If you are experiencing low water pressure, check if the main water valve is completely turned on.
Repair water leaks
Water leaks can cause low water pressure because not all of the water is making its way to your faucet. Check your pipes for cracks and leaks. If you suspect that your plumbing has a leak but have no visible signs, a good way to detect it is by shutting off your main water valve before you go to sleep and mark down the meter reading shown on your water meter. When you wake up, read the water meter again. If the reading changed, then you have a leak somewhere in your home.
Remove mineral deposits
Over time, mineral deposits can build up in your pipes. These deposits clog faucets and showerheads, preventing full water pressure. Try cleaning your faucets and showerheads and see if that improves the water flow.
If these five steps do not resolve the problem, call a professional plumber to check your low water pressure. Call Plumber Medford Oregon to solve your plumbing problems.

Owners of commercial dog breeding operations, aka "puppy mills," can scratch the retailers in the city of Coconut Creek, Fla., off their list of clients, reported Sunday's publication of the Sun Sentinel.
An ordinance to ban the retail sale of commercially bred cats and dogs in Coconut Creek was approved last week. The intent of the new ordinance is to increase adoptions from animal shelters, keep the pet population down and reduce "impulse" purchases, from animals which may have been acquired from puppy mills, at pet stores.
David Walesky, operations manager for Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control stated:
It means some people are adopting rather than buying from one of the stores,
"When puppies bought on impulse lose their curb appeal, the shelter is where they end up anyway
Of little surprise, there are individuals who do not support the new law.
According to the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council, most pets sold at retails stores are obtained from "legitimate breeders."
In a letter to Coconut Creek, Mike Bober, the organization's vice president stated his opposition to the ban of commercially bred pets, stating:
The approach the ordinance takes is unsupported by all available facts,
Coconut Creek joins several other southern Florida cities who have already banned the sale of commercially bred pets.

It's hard to believe that four seasons of "The Walking Dead" have already come and gone. Now fans are preparing for season 5, especially since the season finale left a cliffhanger. Beth's whereabouts are still unknown, Rick and most of the others are trapped at Terminus and there are other questions that need answers. So what can viewers look forward to when the zombie series returns in October 2014? ScreenCrush reported on Monday that Scott Gimple has promised more action in the upcoming season.
Fans know that there will be some action when the show returns because Rick and the others are going to have to find a way out of Terminus. Scott Gimple and Robert Kirkman have not confirmed that they are cannibals. Gimple even went as far as to say in an interview with the print edition of TV Guide not to assume cannibalism just because of a pile of bones. However, E! Online posted that Rick would be recruiting people to get revenge on those "man-eating freaks who run Terminus."
Even though it is expected that actions and violence will be necessary to deal with Terminus, Gimple's promise about more action in "The Walking Dead" season 5 seem to imply that there will be plenty of action throughout the season. The writers did do quite a bit of character development last season, which did reveal more information about the characters. But now it is time to get back down to business.
As for what else fans can expect, Gimple spoke to Larry King about the possible return of Morgan, played by Lennie James. Last year there were rumors that the actor would be appearing on the final two episodes of season 4. However, that turned out to be false and Scott Gimple told Entertainment Weekly that he was misquoted. Even though there is no word on when the actor will return, the showrunner is doing everything he can to make it happen.
Fans will also find out Beth's fate in season 5 and although nobody has said that she is alive, there are hints that the character has not been died. Actress Emily Kinney recently posted a photo to Instagram of her meeting with the writers to talk about the upcoming season. AMC's blog revealed that Gimple said that Beth is somewhere and that it will be both heartwarming and heartbreaking.
There will also be a romance other than Glenna and Maggie. There is a lot of speculation on which characters will find love in season 5. Some fans believe Daryl will find romance while others are betting on Rick and Michonne, Bob and Sasha or Abraham and Rosita.
What are your theories on "The Walking Dead" season 5? How will Rick and Team Prison get out of Terminus? Which characters will find romance when the show returns? What do you think happened to Beth?

Katz was active in the Textile Care Allied Trades Association (TCATA), having served on its board of directors for four years and as treasurer for two.
He was also active in his local community and his congregation, Sinai Synagogue. He was known as an extraordinary orator and was called upon to emcee various events in the South Bend area over the years.

Eugene "Gene" G. Blumenthal, 1940-2012
Blumenthal, 71, of Marlboro, N.J., died July 30 at CentraState Medical Center in Freehold, N.J.
He began his career in the late 1960s as a sales representative for Stauffer Chemical before moving on to become a regional sales manager for PQ Corp. in the 1970s.
Building on his personable style, technical knowledge and ability to formulate innovative laundry chemistry, Blumenthal became founder and president of Metro-Chem, a formulator of chemicals for the laundry industry, in 1980. He oversaw the company until his death. His partner of 32 years, Pete Potocki, has assumed the role of Metro-Chem's president.

Made In The USA
The X7 Phenom® with FlexValve® Technology is the first electro-pneumatic paintball marker to offer the combination of improved air efficiency, superior accuracy, manual or electronic mode firing, and the flexibility of CO2 or compressed air usage. The new FlexValve operates below 300 PSI for improved air efficiency allowing you to get over 1,400 shots from a 68 cubic inch 4500 psi tank. Also, due to its Spool Valve design, recoil is virtually eliminated for improved accuracy.
As an added benefit, the Phenom's searless design incorporates fewer
wear parts, making maintenance easier than ever. Best of all, because this new
marker is built around the existing X7 platform, the Phenom–which is nearly
3 inches shorter than the X7–can still accept more than 20 current X7®
mods and upgrades, including the popular Flatline® Barrel.
Players have never been offered such a complete package – the performance of a tournament marker…the flexibility of a mechanical marker…the durability of a Tippmann®…and the ability to customize their marker with thousands of different looks.

"These are the kinds of situations we kept running into as parents and we thought, there has to be a better way to capture everything right when it occurs. (Zachary Kreger)"
Unique key points for the Offspring app:
- Offers simple and uniquely designed interface to preserve those special moments like photographs, videos, quotes, audio, milestones, and journal entries.
- A built in private social network for the family only to share with specifically selected family members and friends.

TC TO JAMES HANNAY; 8 July 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540708-TC-JAHA-01; CL 29:
Chelsea, July 8, 1854
[Praising "your Book on the Satirists."]1
TC-JH [JAHA], 8 July. MS: sold at auction, American Art Assoc., 14–15 April 1937, 2 pp. James Hannay (1827–73; ODNB; see TC to MAC, 3 Oct. 1849, and TC to TE, 12 July 1852), miscellaneous writer; dismissed from the navy, 1845, for insubordination. His first book, Biscuits and Grog (1848), had paid tribute to TC and Thackeray; his novel King Dobbs (1856) was dedicated to Thackeray who had taken him on as an assistant to help him prepare English Humourists (1851) for publication. He was to die an alcoholic in Barcelona.
1. Satire and Satirists. Six Lectures (1854). Hannay replied, 11 July, from Ridge, nr. Barnet: "I am now directing my reading more to positive History, than I used to do, with the hope of some
day illustrating some man or period in an useful manner. I still feel a strong direction towards the ancient worlds, which
was first strengthened in me by my many months spent among the sites of its civilization: yet I feel, also, that the doings
of our own ancestors have the superior right to our time and thought … . I remember your urging in talk, the need of a good
Baronage … elucidating of the early barons of England and Scotland … . I ought indeed to have called on you before this. I shall make
no further professions, but hope to set myself right in that particular before too long." Hannay called at Cheyne Row, 2 Aug., and noted their conversation in his diary; see George J. Worth, "Three Carlyle Documents," PMLA, 71 (1950):543–44.
