It was so long ago, under another user name. I *think* I started a thread and asked a TTC question.
Posted 10 January 2013 - 08:46 PM
I'm 16.5 weeks pregnant and had a colposcopy and pap smear at 11.5 weeks.
The reason for these tests was that I was diagnosed with CIN3 (severe precancerous cells on my cervix)in January last year. In March last year I had a LLETZ (large loop excision of the transformation zone) and have been monitored by a gynaecological oncologist 6 monthly.
My tests have come up clear so far (yay) and I don't have to have another pap smear for 12 months.
To the PP who will be having a colposcopy while pregnant, please don't stress. It's not fun, but it doen't hurt.
One of my cousins was diagnosed with the same thing at the same time as me. Instead of having surgery, she got pregnant and was carefully monitored. She has just had a healthy baby at full term and will have the surgery shortly.
These conditions are very slow in progressing and can be managed during pregnancy.
Sorry for the long post.
Obviously I became less polite.

I had a dose of siwoti syndrome which prompted to me stop lurking. A pp had asked something about why God wasn't answering her prayers for a life partner, and I thought she had received really bad answers so far...
This question was enough to make me become a member so I could reply...First, I really do think it's okay to ask God for things for ourselves (I mean, even Jesus did that)!
But I do also sometimes think he gives an unequivocal "no" - I've certainly experienced that, in circumstances where you would think he would have every reason to want to say yes. And I know enough fulfilled monastics to know that God has different plans for different people; not everyone's meant for married life.
I also wonder what it is you think it means to be a woman - your comment about having skills and being independent not seeming female really concerned me. I'd be concerned at any model of femininity that implied dependence or being unskilled - that's not even the picture I get out of Proverbs 31!
What I wonder is, whether perhaps living with others in another way might be helpful to you? Have you thought about a shared community house of some sort?"

mine was posted after lots of lurking
I have a 10 week old who is difficult to settle during the day and early
evening, but (thankfully) sleeps a bit better at night. He's been diagnosed with
silent reflux and colic too.
We've tried wrapping him or not wrapping, gripe
water and infants friend, elevating his cot mattress slightly at the head,
leaving soft music on while he sleeps and giving him a dummy - he won't take
Does anyone have any other ideas to try to help him sleep? And help me
stay sane?? I would love to have some more happy time with him when we're not
both overtired and grumpy.
he is much better now, took a while and 2 sleep school visits though.

Mine was a post outing myself as a I'm-not-creepy-I-promise stalker.
I was (still am) pretty technologically incompetent, and when I first joined I had no idea how to find popular threads. So, I used to visit the profiles of members who tended to post in interesting/contentious threads, find their posts, then read the thread myself - all the while not realising that my username was appearing as a visitor on their profile...
I was reading a thread on stalkers and, to my horror, saw myself mentioned in relation to one of the aforementioned members. A few people jumped in saying "Yeah, that's a bit off what cardamom's doing, wonder if you know her IRL or something? Creepy." The member in question sent me a (very kind and friendly) PM, and eventually I was goaded into posting, rather than lurking, and 'fessed up in the thread.
I still cringe when I think of it!
Posted 10 January 2013 - 09:36 PM
The stock standard: "we're pregnant, omg! Tell me everything I need to know".

Nikon D200
- Excellent image quality, attractive design, easy to use.
- Underexposed on auto exposure setting.
Bottom Line
An exceptional camera with a long list of excellent features and impressive image quality.
Price$ 2,899.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 5 stores)
Powerful and wonderfully designed, Nikon's new D200 fills a gaping hole in the company's lineup of digital SLR cameras. Ideal for professionals and serious amateurs, the 10.2 megapixel camera fits nicely between the cost of the 6.1-megapixel D70s and Nikon's top-of-the line and extremely costly 12.4 megapixel D2X. We predict that many D70 owners will want to upgrade to the D200's higher megapixel count and more-sophisticated controls.
Nikon built the D200 with a beefy magnesium body that feels like you could pound nails with it. Nikon also loaded it with dedicated buttons and dials. The D200 is clearly a descendent of the D2X, though not quite as bulky. Even so, it still feels weighty (with battery it tips the scale at around 2 pounds).
Two of the D200's more intriguing features are its GPS connectivity, which lets you add location information to your photos - very cool - and the ability to shoot multiple exposures to the same image file. This last option is exceptionally rare in digital cameras, although you could achieve the same effect by layering multiple images in an image editing program.
The D200's controls are more intuitive than those on previous Nikon models. The menus, for example, while no less multilayered, are nicely organized, well labeled, and color-coded - all of which help speed navigation. Still, the sheer number of options means that finding specific controls when you first pick up this camera can take time. The Recent Settings menu assists with this, as does the built-in help system.
Nikon gave the D200 a huge - almost bewildering - selection of focusing options. The autofocus was dead-on for most of our informal shots, with the surprising exception of a few scenic photos, usually the easiest type of picture for autofocus systems to handle. This lapse may be a case of the operator selecting the wrong type of autofocus, however, and the camera was generally quick and accurate, even with such challenges as capturing birds in flight.
As you'd expect with a 10.2 megapixel CCD, the images we shot with the D200 looked sharp, living up to our high expectations, though the D200 didn't earn the highest score for image sharpness in our lab tests. It earned very high marks for the absence of distortion in its images. Only the EOS 20D scored higher.
Like many digital SLRs, the D200 tends to underexpose slightly in autoexposure settings. Color saturation was a mixed bag--a bit muted with earth tones, but nicely saturated with bright whites and reds.
Until now, the EOS 20D was the leading candidate to become our next SLR. But the D200's higher scores for color quality and exposure accuracy, make it a tempting proposition as well. Now we have the luxury of choosing between two exceptional cameras.

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Honestly, I didn't miss leaving behind the DOS command line and getting all GUI. But there are times when I'll still dig out the command prompt window on Windows XP to do
something quickly. New service YubNub harkens to give you a command line interface for search. Come up with your
own command (it wasn't working when I tried), and then anyone can make use of that on YubNub. For example:
who google.com
That brings back whois data on Google.com. Use who before any domain you want to check within YubNub to get results. Get the Firefox
plug-in, and then any commands you find useful can easily be run from within
your search bar.
There are a ton of different commands, some of which work, some of which don't. A full list is here; YubNub Golden Eggs is a list of what's considered the best or most interesting. By the way, if a command isn't
recognized, you get Google search results back.
When adding commands works again, I'm going to grab the idea from this example and make a command to search all of
Search Engine Watch via Google. It's easy to do the same for your own site. Just use:
John Battelle has comments on the service here; Threadwatch here;
and background from YubNub itself here.
Finally, remember that all search engines have command line-like interfaces of their own. Here are links with more info:

A story-based approach to making sense of documents
Conferences & Talks
IASTED International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction
16 May 2011
Washington, District of Columbia
Many modern organizations make use of document collections as an important element of their businesses. They would like to get as much value as possible from the information stored in these collections. However, current tools are often oriented to finding and presenting individual documents; finding desired information can require examining many individual items, and users find little support for making sense of topics discussed in multiple documents, and little support for sharing their understanding with other users. This paper reports on the Document Interactions project, which takes a story-based approach to making sense of documents. It combines a tool for creating stories from documents and images, with a virtual reality system in which users can present and discuss these stories. We also report on two studies: an ethnographic study of story use in a history museum and a study in which museum staff evaluated our tools.

Richard Wilson: 20:50
Richard Wilson's 20:50 is possibly the first ever piece of contemporary art that registered with my childhood self. Dragged along to the old, old Saatchi gallery in St.John's Wood by a mother looking to fill some time on the summer holidays, I naturally put up a fight. Then Richard Wilson came to the rescue, with his indescribable room of oil, literally full of oil. As exciting for an untrained child's eye fifteen years ago as it was when I saw it had re-appeared at the new Saatchi on Kings Road. A truly contemporary masterpiece, and just in time for the school holidays…

FALLS CHURCH, Va., April 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Azzad Wise Capital Fund (NASDAQ: WISEX), America's first Halal, socially responsible fixed-income mutual fund turned four years old this month. Falls Church, Virginia-based Azzad Asset Management launched the interest-free fund in 2010.
Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130726/PH54032LOGO
"It wasn't easy to do," said Bashar Qasem, Azzad President and CEO, on starting the fund. "But we were determined to create a fixed-income solution for our clients who wanted to observe the tenets of their faith." Qasem added, "Today, the Azzad Wise Capital Fund has a following among retail investors and financial advisors alike. They also appreciate the Fund's exposure to emerging markets and an alternative asset class like Sukuk."
Over its four-year history, the Azzad Wise Capital Fund has proven to be an important diversification and income-generating tool for investors who observe the Islamic prohibition on the giving and taking of usury, or interest. Although it does not deal with debt instruments created from interest-based lending, the Azzad Wise Capital Fund shares in the gains from its ventures, which include Islamic bank deposits and Sukuk.
Qasem started Azzad Asset Management in 1997 after discovering a lack of financial solutions and investment options that aligned with his Muslim faith. Traveling the globe to learn from scholars in Islamic law and earning credentials to teach and consult on compliance with Islamic finance, he returned to the US and became licensed to work in the investment industry. In 2000, Qasem and his colleagues oversaw the launch of Azzad's Shariah-compliant stock fund, the Azzad Ethical Fund (NASDAQ: ADJEX). The firm grew its financial planning and wealth management lines of business for the next decade, ultimately creating the Azzad Wise Capital Fund to diversify client accounts.
Islamic bank deposits
The Azzad Wise Capital Fund invests in Islamic banks as part of its socially responsible investing mandate. Acting as an agent, Islamic banks bundle profit- and loss-sharing account holder assets together and channel capital into community development projects like Halal microfinance and infrastructure projects. Account holders make a return by investing in real economic projects globally.
See: Making Fixed Income Socially Responsible (YouTube)
The Azzad Wise Capital Fund also invests in US-dollar denominated investment grade Sukuk. Sometimes referred to as "Islamic bonds," Sukuk are financial instruments issued to obtain an up-front payment in exchange for an income stream generated from tangible assets or services, often through leasing. According to Thomson Reuters, the value of global aggregate Sukuk for the period between January 1996 and September 2013 stood at more than $488 billion. A major distinction between conventional bonds and Sukuk is that the latter are linked to an asset, allowing investors to be equity stakeholders.
See: A Sukuk Primer (Azzad Asset Management White Paper Series)
See also: Azzad analysis featured in 2014 Thomson Reuters Sukuk Report (PRNewswire)
Azzad Asset Management, investment advisor to the Azzad Funds and sponsor of the Azzad Ethical Wrap Program, is committed to providing investment services designed to help people enjoy optimum performance without compromising their values. Azzad is a member of the Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment and the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions. The firm, based outside Washington, DC, is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Please consider a Fund's objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before you invest. The prospectus contains this and other important information. For a hard copy, please call 1-888-350-3369. Read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money. The Azzad Funds are self-distributed.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud.
