I have been struck by the fact that the majority of great medical discoveries, truths and instruments, have not been made completely and suddenly, but have been led up to by preliminary and progressive steps, and that the layman has so often made these discoveries prior to the medical practitioner. This great medical truth is, indeed, but an illustration of the general law that all professional progress, in whatever branch of study, is somehow or other a result of stimulus from without. There is so much interest, and there are so many lessons to be drawn from such observations in medical history, that I have in late years kept minutes of this class of truths, from which I make the following selections:
When we commence observation of the origins of medical discovery and treatment, we are struck by the fact that "our brothers the animals" were first in learning not

As a teenager I developed a love for the beach. My family would take vacations to visit Florida and the trips to the beach with the water and bikinis gave me reason enough to live until we returned the next summer.
Then life happened and for 16 years I never saw the beach unless it was on television. Then I was invited by my brother to go with his family and friends for a week vacation earlier this summer. I was in my swim trunks before I hung up the phone.
Nothing could be better. A vacation to the ocean and I could spend time with my little 6-year-old nephew. I know my brother and sister-in-law had babysitting on their mind when I decided to go. Fortunately my nephew was up for it and gave me strict rules as we left for our trip.
"Uncle David I'm going to watch my DVDs and if you're good you can watch them too. But don't touch my stuff."
And away we went. A 13-hour drive to Florida with my nephew and I stuffed in the back seat of the truck where we watched the same DVD over and over and over. Duck Tales. And my nephew sings the song every time it starts. Even while sleeping he will sing along to the theme song and now I do too. But that is a story I will tell my therapist.
When we pulled into our condo and walked out on the balcony that overlooked the ocean I know I heard harps and angels singing. Or that could have been the music I was listening to but I'm going to go with the angels.
After taking in the sights for a brief moment, and then spotting the bikinis on the beach, I was heading out the door before I was stopped.
"Uncle David, we have to eat before we go to the beach."
"Uh-uh! I wanna go to the beach."
"My mommy said we have to eat first so we have to eat or you won't get to go to the beach."
Stupid babysitters.
So we ate and finally went to the beach where I taught my nephew and his 6-year-old friend that was staying with us how to catch a wave on the boogie boards. Then I just took off swimming as far out as I could. Being part fish I went out a good ways and had to squint just to see the shore, or maybe that was just because I was looking into the sun. Either way I was out a good distance until I felt something big brush through my legs.
At that moment I became an Olympic swimmer. I was moving at a speed that would have lapped Michael Phelps and his mortal times. When I could finally touch the bottom I acted as if nothing had happened, thankful nobody heard my girlish scream. But everyone would have done the same had a shark the size of Jaws swam between their legs.
A short time later my sister in-law began jumping up and down pointing to the area where I had been and there they were -- a school of dolphins. Mean, angry dolphins that were foaming at the mouth I'm sure.
The reason the dolphins were there was because a tropical storm was headed straight for us. Tropical Storm Beryl barreled toward us and I was excited. First, I got to boogie board and body surf in tropical storm waves. The ocean was angry that day my friends and I should have known that when my brother, his friend and I were the only ones on the beach. In Florida I think.
The waves threw me around like a rag doll and I loved every second of it. One wave picked me up and another wave topped it so fast it kept flipping me and I had no idea which way was up or down.
That night as Beryl made landfall I stood outside on the balcony as 70-mile-per-hour winds crashed into the shore. I was actually disappointed. A tornado is much more fierce. Sure the winds are strong and the rain felt like thousands of ice picks hurled at you, but a tornado will pop up out of thin air and level your house and not touch the one across the street.
Another good thing about Beryl was I got to spend more time with my nephew, his friend and her mother. Together we played the board game Life. As the rain pounded outside I was getting pounded inside. Although it was a good learning experience for the little tykes finding out what happens when you don't go to college.
"Uncle David, I'm going to go to college and make a bunch of money and get a bunch of the $100,000 money."
"Oh yeah, well I'm not going to college and I'm going to become a professional athlete and take all the $100,000 money."
"Oh yeah, well I'm gonna have a wife and a bunch of kids."
"You do that and I'll go back to school and become a lawyer so you can pay me when you get a divorce."
And so it went. Days at the beach and playing Life at night. Again I heard the harps and angels. Of course, there was one drawback. The sand.
After being on the beach the first thing you did was stop by the outside shower and rinse the sand off. Then you walked back to the condo and the first thing you did was take a shower. It never failed but I found sand in spots of my body that I didn't even know existed. After my shower there was another beach on the shower floor. Of course I don't know how there was any sand left on the beach after all my nephew wore inside.
And here is a thought for you: Why do you see all the dogs on the beach but no cats? You would think the beach would be just one big litter box for the furry feline. After thinking of that I'm glad I didn't make a sand castle or let my nephew bury me in the stuff.
Unfortunately after a week it was time to go home. No more spending time with my brother's family and friends and no more beach, sand and all. I hid in the bathroom but they found me.
"Uncle David we have to go. We can watch Duck Tales on the way home if you're good."
I might have left but my heart is still there, buried underneath all the sand. I'm already planning my return trip, one where I might not return. But until then I had better work so I can get my nephew that birthday present.
David can be reached at email@example.com or follow him on twitter @djenkie74.

Wise County Adventures: Greenwood Grocery
Posted on 03. May, 2012 by Kristen Tribe
I'm a Wise County girl. But somehow I had never eaten at Greenwood Grocery.
Luckily, that was remedied yesterday. A crew from the Messenger piled into two cars and drove the 15 or so miles to Greenwood for lunch.
The little country store sells a few essentials, but the big draw is the food. It's best known for huge, juicy burgers, pie that melts in your mouth and crispy catfish served Saturday nights. We had actually been planning this little lunchtime getaway for about a week, and we were almost giddy with anticipation. (Maybe I shouldn't speak for the whole group.)
Needless to say, I went all out — fully-loaded cheeseburger with fries and sweet tea. I have to say it lived up to expectations, and the atmosphere was great. It was quiet and laid back — a fine place for conversation.
My only regret is not getting a piece of pie. A few people caved and ate a slice, but I figured if I turned it down, it gave me a good excuse to go back next week. That coconut cream pie will be calling my name!
But as the kind lady at the counter reminded me: "You don't need an excuse. Come back any time."
I think I will.

Summer's not quite done with us yet, girls. If you need proof, look no further than these dozen wonderful things coming down the pike this month. I am oh-so-excited for:
1) An excellent update to your fifth-grade mixtape
Alanis Morissette releasing a new album (Havoc and Bright Lights, 8/28)? No-question awesome. But Sixpence None the Richer releasing their first compilation (Lost in Transition, 8/7) in a decade the same month? Do a little dance with your middle-school self right now.
2) Sneaky premieres of new fall TV
Capitalizing on its Olympics audiences, NBC will roll out the pilots of two new shows--Matthew Perry's Go On (8/8) and Justin Kirk's Animal Practice (8/12).3) Hope Springs__
Time for your annual Meryl fix. Thank God! Out 8/8.
4) The return of Children's Hospital (8/9)
Literally the comedy version of an insane clown posse (and a star-studded one at that--Megan Mullally, Malin Akerman, and Lake Bell star opposite a gaggle of hilarious guys). If you haven't checked in yet, do so immediately.
5) Jeremy Renner in full.
My main issue with Avengers: pesky other superheroes blocking my view of Hawkeye. Bourne Legacy shall right this wrong on 8/10.
6) The Closer series finale
Yes, we'll be sad to say goodbye to Brenda on 8/13, but you just know this show is going out with a bang. (No pressure, writers.)
7) Gallery Girls
Sure, the Real Housewives have plenty of drama, but with this show Bravo will deliver us tension and chic inspiration. Premieres 8/13 at 10 p.m.
8) Colbchella
Don't miss The Colbert Report the week of 8/13--each night's episode will include a performance and interview from the bands playing Stephen Colbert's summer concert, taking place on 8/10 in New York. Fun., The Flaming Lips and Santigold are all onboard.
9) Whipsmart mom novels
Amy Sohn's Motherland plunges us into the posh but strained lives of parents in Cape Cod, Manhattan and Brooklyn. Where'd You Go, Bernadette? is like a remix of Gone Girl and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close: a teen daughter searches for her missing mom. Author Maria Semple wrote for shows like Arrested Development, so you know it's gonna be funnier than it sounds. Both are out 8/14.
10) Gossip Girl reruns on the Style Network
Just in time to get you all caught up for the final season, starting 8/15 and airing every Wednesday night from 8-11 p.m. Also: there's an all-day marathon on Labor Day (9/3)--so if the weather's cloudy, you know where to find us.
11) Finding out what this cryptic message on Beyonce's Tumblr means:
12) The In-Betweeners
Get More: The Inbetweeners, Full Episodes
Fans of Freaks and Geeks will love this: there's a new awkward high school gang in town, and they're oh-so-lovable. (Based on a British show, natch.) Premieres 8/20 at 10:30 p.m. on MTV.
13) The month of Ari Graynor
Wait, where do you know her from? What's Your Number? and Fringe, for starters. But Ari gets the serious camera time she deserves this month in Celeste and Jesse Forever (8/3) and especially in the end-of-month, strong-potential gigglefest For a Good Time Call (8/31).
What can't YOU wait for this month?

Solaris Desktop Summit - Day 3
By jmr on Dec 05, 2005
Well survived the first few days and so got time to play in the 3rd day developing user types. Found it really interesting, trying to get inside the user's skin so to speak. \*SMB Sys Admin\* We even turned up a few interesting ideas on Small and Medium sized business System Admin. Basically this person has been sucker punched, is under pressure, would be happy if it weren't for his/her users and generally is not in a good spot. So anything we can do to make their lives easier is good news. Couple of really simple ideas: 1. Login Changes --- lots of users can't login for pretty silly reasons. Help by adding additional info in the login screen or accessible from it. So when a fail to login happens check if cap locks is on and report it. We know what the IP is so make this available for the sys admin to easily find. Often network issues stop login, have a network status indicator, green good to go, red in trouble. 2. System logs --- boy all over the map. At least make it easier to view them all with a log viewer. Second phase would be parse the data in some way to extract meaningful error messages and also provide links to online documentation from the error. Small steps, just get the viewer - next phase would be to see which are the most critical logs and at least get their error info extracted in a way the sys admin can use. \*User Centric Design\* Plenty of other groups looked into the developer, the mobile user, knowledge worker and transaction worker. All the write ups are up on the twiki. What I'd really like to see is us collectively moving to a much more user centric design process. I think Frank Ludolph and the XDesign team have planted the seeds so I'd like to see us take this forward for our key user types [Sys Admin for SMB and Developers]. Would be fun to develop these user personas with input from real users. Here's a few photos from the summit with me sending everyone to sleep:

Do listen to this BFM89.9 interview with TRH on 1st September 2010, a day after Merdeka Day.
Could his new NGO be the rallying point for the rakyat to take back Malaysia through the ballot box? A vehicle for Haris Ibrahim's concept of A Third Force?
Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin reiterated this afternoon that the buck was now in the hands of the "enforcement authority", which is due to make a decision soon.
The Deputy Prime Minister who was speaking to reporters after launching a road safety joint operation at KL Sentral here, said this after he was asked if the government planned to use the Sedition Act against Siti Inshah.
"That one, I will leave it entirely up to the enforcement authority to enforce under whatever law. I believe there are available enforcement instruments that can be used... under whatever law," he replied quickly.
On Thursday, when Muhyiddin was bombarded with the same queries in Putrajaya, he said that the case had been transferred to the Public Service Department (PSD) to decide.
"We have transferred the case to PSD and we hope they will make a decision immediately. That is why it was transferred last week and the PSD director has been asked to make a decision as soon as possible," he had said.
Before that, Muhyiddin had directed Education director-general Tan Sri Alimuddin Mohd Dom to set up a task force to probe the incident.
Alimuddin had previously invited flak when he claimed shortly after the incident that it was merely a misunderstanding and had been settled between the principal and the school parents.
Siti Inshah entered the limelight recently after she allegedly told the SMK Tunku Abdul Rahman school assembly that the Chinese could go back to China and that the Indians looked like "dogs" when they wore their prayer strings.

Remember Shiite Iraqi Ahmed Chalabi, whom America thought to be a friend turned out he was more close to Ahmadinejad of Iran!
By Bernama
PASIR PUTEH, Sept 4 — The Kelantan Umno Liaison Committee's move to win the people's support for the Barisan Nasional (BN) through teachers seems to be paying off.
District-level gatherings for teachers are seeing a good turnout, between 500 and 600 teachers at each session beginning with Tumpat, then Bachok and now Pasir Puteh, said its chairman, Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.
"This is a good sign for a change in the political scenario in Kelantan," he said when addressing one such gathering organised by the Pasir Puteh district education department at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tok Janggut here last night.
More than 500 teachers attended the gathering where Kelantan Education Director Hussain Awang was also present.
Mustapa, who is international trade and industry minister, said teachers had a major influence on the people and could draw their support for the BN in both the urban and rural areas.

Ben Domenech [pic above], a senior editor of an on line news portal The New Ledger, whose article appeared in The Huffington Post, another popular online website, described America as naive in its quest trying to connect America with moderate Muslim personalities. Now America is questioning on how far it is willing to stretch its definition of "moderate" in order to overlook certain uncomfortable facts! Remember Shiite Iraqi Ahmed Chalabi, whom America thought to be a friend turned out he was more close to Ahmadinejad of Iran!
Among his other morning routine, it was understood, President Obama would click on to his favourite website before facing the world. Well at least he is now well versed on what is the definition of a fool's gold, and to now understand the real meaning of the word moderate, and to know more about how certain Malaysian politician that has been leading the US Administration by the nose to condemn Malaysia for his own political purpose.
Domenech also said how America have seen this "in search of moderate Muslim" problem most recently in the interactions with Imam Rauf in the swirl of controversy about his mosque project in New York City. He said some view Rauf as a moderate go-between who could further legitimate relations -- butothers point to his funding sources and refusal to denounce Hamas as a sign the moderate label is questionable.
Domenech described Anwar Ibrahim as a fool's gold when America embraced Malaysia opposition leader as another one of those "bona fide" Muslim moderate and Domenech pointed out that while Anwar was free to show he was not an anti-Semitic to his English speaking American audience in order to gain support, his anti-Semitic fervour was so loud and clear to his Malaysian supporters for him to make his political comeback.
Below is the article which appeared in the New Ledger:
America's political leadership has a love affair with the concept of connecting with the moderate Muslim world. This is not the domain of one party or one ideology -- indeed, the administrations of both George W. Bush and Barack Obama are heavily invested in the idea. Yet in the push to find moderate Muslims with whom to interact, there's a question that seems to keep coming up: how far are we willing to stretch the definition of "moderate" in order to overlook certain uncomfortable facts?
We've seen this problem most recently in the interactions with Imam Rauf in the swirl of controversy about his mosque project in New York City. Some view Rauf as a moderate go-between who could further legitimate relations -- but others point to his funding sources and refusal to denounce Hamas as a sign the moderate label is questionable.
The Rauf situation inspired the Wall Street Journal to arrange a roundtable of several Muslim figures this week -- but the panel unintentionally served as a perfect example of the kind of strained definition of "moderate" some sources employ when it comes to leading Muslim political figures. In this case, the Journal included Malaysia's opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, in the conversation. His statement is worth reading, but it must also be studied with a critical eye:
Skeptics and cynics alike have said that the quest for the moderate Muslim in the 21st century is akin to the search for the Holy Grail. It's not hard to understand why. Terrorist attacks, suicide bombings and the jihadist call for Muslims "to rise up against the oppression of the West" are widespread.
The radical fringe carrying out such actions has sought to dominate the discourse between Islam and the West. In order to do so, they've set out to foment anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism. They've also advocated indiscriminate violence as a political strategy. To cap their victory, this abysmal lot uses the cataclysm of 9/11 as a lesson for the so-called enemies of Islam.
To some, Ibrahim is a beloved figure -- he is charming and a capable communicator, who has been subject to malignant political and legal attacks, and has defenders in the United States ranging from Al Gore to Paul Wolfowitz. Yet to read Ibrahim talk of those who "foment... anti-Semitism" for public relations gain is jarring, considering it is exactly the sort of activity he is utilizing to mount his political comeback.
One of the oldest tactics when it comes to relations with the Western world is the art of saying one thing in English, and another in your native language. Ibrahim is canny enough to know that his purposes are best served by keeping his anti-Semitic messages in a form which appeals to the right audience -- in this case, he's invoked the spectre of Jewish influence on more than one occasion. The pattern prompted a letter from B'Nai Brith earlier this year, sent to the State Department and the leaders of Senate and House committees, requesting that U.S. officials cease relations with Ibrahim over his "anti-Jewish and anti-Israel slanders," which include suggesting that Israeli spies are "directly involved in the running of the government," are antagonizing him through the police force, and are organizing a public relations campaign against him.
We would be wise to consider the aims of individuals like Ibrahim, not just accept his words to the American press at face value. I had the opportunity recently to interview Lee Smith, the author of The Strong Horse: Power, Politics, and the Clash of Arab Civilizations and a columnist for Tablet. He advances a view of American-Muslim relations that is both more sophisticated and more straightforward than the one which ruled in Washington over the past ten years. A key takeaway from his approach to understanding the Muslim world is that we must understand the way that individuals like Ibrahim and Rauf use the American approach to foreign relations to their advantage, and not allow for entanglements that make us lose sight of their real aims.
In any case, it's clear that honest relations with legitimate spokesmen from the Muslim world are paramount as we move closer to a decade removed from the 9/11 attacks. Yet we should have no illusions about the nature of those friendships, and we must reject the idea that figures can get away with saying one thing in their own countries and in their own language while criticizing that same activity in our newspapers and in English. Americans would not tolerate such two-faced activity from our own leaders, nor should we tolerate it from others. Or click here for the original article!
The article regurgitates one party's view of the case. The writer must appreciate that litigants go to court because they have different interpretation of the law and agreements. To say that one of these parties is not respecting the sanctity of contracts or agreements is to prejudge the issue.
In this case the State of Kelantan, in its wisdom, thinks it has a case to make a claim for payments for petroleum produced offshore Kelantan. Equally, one may assume, Petronas is basing its case on its construction of the law and the agreements it has signed with Kelantan.
The writer does not support this contention with any authority of law or any evidence from the agreements. If the writer is not a lawyer, at the very least the views of lawyers should have been sought.
Otherwise, as the case is before the court, it is best to let the law take its course.
Not too long ago, Emeritus Professor Datuk Dr Shad Saleem Faruqi wrote an article titled "Oil Claim and the Constitution" in the Reflecting on the Law Column (The Star, Feb 24 2010) in which he unreservedly stated that "Kelantan has no rights to what lies off the shores of the whole of Malaysia".
Early this year, those who attended the Bar Council talk on Kelantan's "royalty" claim heard and witnessed Prof Shad — without slightest hesitation — say that Kelantan had no legal basis to make such claim.
Even Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, who was present at the talk, had no response.
* Mohd Aiman Ismail reads The Malaysian Insider.
SEPT 3 — When Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik was hauled up to shoulder a chunk of the blame for the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal, his persecution was viewed as a whitewash to take the heat off the real perpetrators.
During mention of his case in court today however, the former Transport Minister showed that in no way was he ready to go down alone.
When his case was called, Dr Ling asked for the Cabinet documents on PKFZ to be declassified, a move that will surely put the present administration in an uncomfortably tight spot.
Dr Ling's lawyers pointed out in court today that the documents were necessary for the defence to prepare its case.
They asked that all Cabinet documents on the project, like the Cabinet meeting minutes, Cabinet committee meetings and post-Cabinet papers, all under the Official Secrets Act 1972, be declassified.
With so much public scrutiny on the scandalous multibillion ringgit PKFZ failure, the Najib administration is now faced with tremendous pressure to reveal the documents.
Doing so however, may only open up a can of worms, one that was kept successfully sealed shut and gathering dust all these years. More bigwigs may finally be hauled up to face the music along with Dr Ling who has been seen so far, as the government's scapegoat to close the books on the scandal for good.
Outside of court, Dr Ling also cleverly told reporters that he would "definitely" be found guilty for his cheating charge if his former boss, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said so.
In the same breath, Dr Ling thanked the former Prime Minister for his "generous offer" to testify in his trial and at the same time, also said that if Dr Mahathir were to testify that he had cheated the Cabinet, then he would indeed be guilty.
In saying so, Dr Ling appears to be making room to share some of the limelight with Dr Mahathir, who had at first kept conspicuously silent after Dr Ling's arrest.
Now, the onus seems to rest more on Dr Mahathir instead of the court, to determine Dr Ling's guilt.
When he was questioned during the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) probe last year, Dr Ling had also said that it was Dr Mahathir himself who had been in charge of overseeing the PKFZ's land valuation.
Now, since Dr Ling is facing cheating charges for purportedly misleading Dr Mahathir's Cabinet into approving the purchase of land for the PKFZ project, his testimony last year may likely come in handy.
During the same probe, Dr Ling's secretary-general in the Transport Ministry Zaharah Shaari had also gone on record to say that the land acquisition had been made in full knowledge of the Cabinet.
Zaharah had also mentioned that Dr Ling was aware that the government would have saved over RM600 million if the land had been acquired in accordance with the Land Acquisition Act 1960 and had apparently spoken about the matter to Dr Mahathir.
Although everything now hinges on the truth of these few testimonies, there is already a strong enough doubt cast on the case.
Should the government be willing now to agree to the declassification of the Cabinet documents, it could, above all things, determine if the testimonies above were somewhat true.
Should this bid be rejected however, it would only serve to exacerbate the already escalating suspicion that Dr Ling's persecution was merely a part of the Barisan Nasional government's well-manufactured strategy to close the books on the PKFZ and paint the administration, under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, in a good light as effective graftbusters.
SEPT 3 — Fifty three years has past since our forefathers, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Tan Siew Sin and Tun VT Sambanthan fought for Independence. What was in their mind was to ensure we were free from the British colonisation and we were a sovereign nation. It never alluded in their mind that they were Malay,Chinese or Indian by ethinicity ,what was more important to them was they were Malaysian First .
But come this Merdeka, have our beloved nation achieved the same level of unity that we had in the past?
Premier YAB Dato Sri Najib's 1 Malaysia concept introduced last year is an effort that is transformational to reunite and take us back to the level of unity that we once enjoyed. But Is he getting all the support for this initiate?
I remember the days when Dato Lee Chong Wei won the All England Championship. We were all glued to the TV watching yet another Malaysian achievement. Never did we mind that he was a Malaysian Chinese. By the same token, Dato Magendran and Dato Mohanadass who succeeded in the Mt. Everest climb, yet another truly Malaysian football team comprising the legendary Mokhtar Dahari, Santokh Singh, Dato Soh Chin Ann and R.Arumugam who made Malaysians proud with the teams ability to take on the England Team and the South Koreans.
Albeit all this positive characteristic of a Malaysian achievement, the statement made by Dato Nasir Safar, a senior officer in PM's office, the recent statement by a school principal in Kulai asking the Chinese students to go back to China and abusing Indian students about their religious beliefs and the incidence in Kedah reminds us that despite the bonding of 53 years we remain polarised by what ethinicity we belong to despite all our Malaysianes.
Remember we grew up having the teh tarik, nasi lemak ,roti canai and the kueh teow that we forgot their origins and in turn term this delicacies as a Malaysian food. Even vadai and puthu mayam is now sold by a Malay vendor when they had a different origin.
So what has really gone wrong over the years?
I was a part-time lecturer at a prime public university and had the opportunity to see how polarisation at universities has affected the student's race relations. Time has come for students at beginning from primary schools are thought about respecting each others religion, culture and believes. Our multi cultural diversity and uniqueness among us is an advantage that can be harnessed to make Malaysia to greater heights. Each community in Malaysia has its strength and this strength in diversity has to be exploited to maximum to make the concept of 1 Malaysia a success. Lets walk the talk !
Many initiatives by Premier YAB Dato Seri Najib like the New Economic Model(NEM) ,The Tenth Malaysian Plan,The Government Transformation Plan are remarkable grand plans but the success of this plans is highly dependent on how we Malaysians of diverse ethnicity truly live to being Malaysian First. Not too many countries in the world who enjoy the diversity that we have and our failure to benefit from this will only be disastrous for our beloved nation. In not too distance future when the history is forgotten, what will be the state of our country ?
The staff of public service being the main drivers of the government ,should be re-trained on the 1 Malaysia concept to ensure they utter the right word when addressing all communities and send out the right messages.
Many a times the wrong signals has been send and this hurts our race relations. The 1 Malaysia concept must be culturised i.e practice what is preached ,otherwise it will remain a slogan.
Reflecting on our 53th Merdeka, we need a team of Mokthar Dahari,Dato Soh Chin Aun , Santokh Singh and R.Arumugam with the burning spirit of Tunku Andul Rahman to make Malaysia a model country uniting in diversity to take on the world and remain economically competitive. Merdeka,Merdeka, Merdeka.

Wee, or better known as Namewee, who was accompanied by his manager, Fred Wong, arrived at the MCMC headquarters here, at about 12.30pm and completed giving his statement about 8pm.
When met by reporters later, Wee said that yesterday the MCMC had asked him to come to its headquarters to give a statement on the video clip.
Wee said he was interrogated by four police and MCMC officers, however, he declined to reveal the information given.
"They did not give me any warning or threaten me with action. They only wanted to gather details on the video that I posted and I answered all of their questions.
"I answered truthfully because I have nothing to fear since my intention for posting the video was to voice out against racism and not because I am racist," he said. — Bernama
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 — The Wanita Umno movement slams Lembah Pantai Member of Parliament Nurul Izzah Anwar for questioning Article 153 of the Federal Constitution pertaining to the rights and privileges of the Malays.
Wanita Umno head Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said there was no necessity for Nurul Izzah, from the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), to give a new interpretation on the rights of the Malays because the constitution today had already ensured that Malaysia was safe, peaceful and prosperous.
"If there are attempts to challenge the existing constitution, the risk that comes with it is too great," the former Lembah Pantai MP said after launching the Federal Territory 'Skuad Sayang' at Bandar Tun Razak, here today.
Shahrizat, who is also the Women, Family and Community Development Minister, said the attempts by the opposition would only cause uneasiness not only among the Malays but also the other races in the country.
Nurul Izzah, in an article carried by the news portal 'Malaysian Insider' on Tuesday, among other things claimed that the 'special privileges' of the Malays were not mentioned, instead Article 153 only explained on the 'special position' of the Bumiputeras.
The daughter of the Opposition Leader, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, also claimed the rights of the Malays were merely a philosophy and ideology and not a law or constitution besides stressing that the Malay agenda contained in Article 153 was also temporary in nature. — Bernama
The projected figure, according to PLUS Expressways Bhd chief operating officer Nik Airina Nik Jaafar, was an increase of 30 per cent from the normal day.
She told a news conference here today that the peak time for this year"s "Balik Kampung" journey would be from Sept 8 to 12 and Sept 16 to 19.
To ease the congestion, highway users were advised to follow the suggested Travel Time Advisory (TTA), she said, adding that last year, more than 50 per cent of PLUS highway users had utilised the TTA.
The suggested travelling time for those heading to Kedah, Perlis, Skudai and Johor Bahru from the Klang Valley is between 7am and 11am and between 8am and 11am for the return journey.
For motorists going towards Penang, Taiping, Changkat Jering, Tangkak, Yong Peng and Ayer Itam, they are advised to travel between 11am and 4.00pm and between 12pm to 4pm for the return journey.
For those travelling to Kuala Kangsar, Ipoh, Simpang Ampat and Ayer Keroh, they are advised to leave for the Klang Valley between 4pm and 8 pm and between 4pm and 7pm for the return journey.
Those heading to Tapah, Bidor, Slim River, Tanjung Malim, Seremban, Port Dickson and Senawang are suggested to travel between 8pm and 11pm and between 8am and 10am, while for the return journey, the suggested time is between 8pm and 11pm.
For other destinations, they were suggested to travel after 11pm, she said.
Nik Airina said PLUS was also giving out a 10 per cent toll discount between midnight and 7am and another 10 per cent on selected dates at the same time.
Another 10 per cent would be given on Sept 6 until 8 and Sept 13 until 15 with the hope that the date would encourage more people to avoid peak time, she said.
Nik Airina said PLUS would open 1,000 toll booths during the Balik Kampung rush and close all the TouchnGo reload lanes to avoid congestion.
However, seven Reload and Go counters would be put up at seven locations throughout the highway, she said. — Bernama
Direct investment abroad (DIA) by Malaysian companies came in at RM6.2 billion, out-pacing the RM5.9 billion in foreign direct investment into the country.
The flow of money heading out in the second quarter saw a sharp increase from the first quarter of this year when only RM3.8 billion was recorded as DIA.
In the first quarter, Malaysia managed to attract RM5.1 billion in foreign investments, compared with the RM3.8 billions Malaysians invested abroad.
While Malaysians are sending more money abroad, Malaysia's balance of payments deficit dropped sharply from RM19.6 billion in the first quarter to RM1.9 billion in the second quarter of the year.
"Overall, the strength of financial account remains weak and a sustained net inflow of capital would depend on the successful implementation of the New Economic Model (NEM) and Tenth Malaysia Plan," said the CIMB report.
The Najib administration has been trying to open up the economy in a bid to make it a high income nation but was met with opposition from conservative vocal Malay rights group Perkasa which wants the status quo maintained despite widespread criticism that four decades of affirmative action has made the nation uncompetitive.
The government will also have to address the persistent net investment outflows as domestic private investment is a key element in its developed high income nation strategy.
The National Economic Advisory Council (NEAC) had submitted Part Two of the New Economic Model (NEM) to the Prime Minister today.
The second and final report from the NEAC was reported to contain 53 key policy measures aimed at eliminating cross-cutting barriers to a high income, sustainable and inclusive economy by 2020. It will be incorporated into the Economic Transformation Programme report to be released next month.
The research report noted that the reduction in balance of payments deficit was largely due to a marked reduction in errors and omission outflows (E&O).
The second quarter RM18.8 billion in E&O was down from RM30.5 billion in the first quarter, reflecting smaller foreign exchange revaluation losses as the ringgit appreciated moderately against major foreign currencies.
The CIMB report also noted that the nation's current account surplus almost halved to RM16.2 billion in the second quarter from RM30.4 billion in the first quarter due to a lower trade surplus in goods amid widening services outflows.
"Reflecting a softer global demand, we expect the current account surplus will narrow further in the second half," said the report.
It estimated current account surplus for 2010 to be RM103.2 billion or 13.7 per cent of GDP down from RM107.7 billion or 14.3 per cent of GDP previously.
The report said that E&O as a percentage of total merchandise trade and excluding foreign exchange revaluation had widened to between 4 and 6 per cent in the first half of the year as compared with 0.3 and 3 per cent during the period 2001-2009.
"As a rule of thumb, an "E&O" of not more than 5.0 per cent of total merchandise trade suggests no strong evidence of massive capital flight," said the report.

Doctor Faustus
by Christopher Marlowe
Analysis: Tough-o-Meter
We've got your back. With the Tough-O-Meter, you'll know whether to bring extra layers or Swiss army knives as you summit the literary mountain. (10 = Toughest)
6 (Tree Line)
Here's the hard part: Doctor Faustus is written in Renaissance English, which means it contains some words that might look a little odd to us modern folk. That's why the dictionary's your new best friend.
There's also the matter of the fact that the play uses allegorical figures like Good and Bad Angels and the Old Man, which might throw some readers for a loop. Plus a fairly complicated plot point involving the Pope… and another Pope that readers unfamiliar with religious history might stumble over.
But you know what? Shmoop's here to help. And once you've got the background and the language down, this play is a fun romp through Faustus's world, with the added bonus of a moral lesson at the end. And seriously, who could resist a play in which one of the main characters is a dude named Mephistopheles. That's just plain fun to say.

Does your current (or future) federal student loan payment seem a bit daunting? As of July 1, there's a new repayment option for federal student loans that may help.
Income Based Repayment (IBR) is designed to help borrowers who find that their current income makes the required payments with a standard repayment term difficult to afford.
Here's how it works:
Loan eligibility: IBR is available for the Federal Stafford Loans, Federal PLUS Loans for graduate and professional students, and Federal Consolidation Loans, either with Direct Loans or a private lender like Wells Fargo through the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). However, there are a couple of exceptions: The loan cannot be in default, and IBR is not available for Federal PLUS Loans for parents or Federal Consolidation Loans that repaid a Federal PLUS Loan for parents.
Payment calculation: Through IBR, borrowers' monthly payments are calculated by taking into consideration their adjusted gross income , family size, and the state where they reside. If the IBR payment is less than the payment under a 10-year standard repayment plan, then the borrower is eligible for IBR. To see if you may qualify, calculate the payment with Income Based Repayment and compare the payment with Standard Repayment.
How to apply: If you find that your payment with IBR may be lower than with a standard repayment period, you can apply for IBR directly through your lender. If your loan is with Wells Fargo, you can call 1-800-658-3567.
Now that you know how it works, here are some considerations for you:
Added benefits: A more manageable student loan payment is a big deal, but there are a couple other benefits of IBR. If you make qualifying payments on your loan under Income Based Repayment for 25 years, you may be able to have any remaining balance discharged. Also, if you have a subsidized loan and your IBR payment doesn't cover the monthly interest your loan accrues, that unpaid interest will be subsidized by the government for up to three consecutive years from when you first enter IBR repayment.
Possible drawbacks: Remember to consider the cons of IBR as well. A reduced payment through IBR usually means you're taking more time to pay off your loan, which can mean paying more interest over the life of the loan. Borrowers must also submit necessary paperwork each year to continue with IBR. And if you are no longer eligible for IBR, any unpaid interest that has accrued on your loan is capitalized (added to the principal balance) and will be charged interest.
Anyone have additional questions on Income Based Repayment? Leave them here!

Man vs. Machine: Are Any Jobs Safe from Innovation?
Part 2: Cheaper Robots, Fewer Humans
Still, many economists remain unconvinced. Critics argue that there have been constant warnings of the consequences of technological transformations since the beginning of the industrial revolution, yet these fears have always turned out to be exaggerated. These observers believe that this will also be the case now, and they insist that the economy and the labor market are currently merely undergoing a period of change that will ultimately lead to a new equilibrium.
There is, however, a major difference with regard to previous technological advances. Up until now, physical labor has been replaced by machines, for example, robots doing the jobs of assembly-line workers in the automotive industry. Indeed, factory automation has led to far fewer changes in the working world than anticipated because, for a long time, robots were simply too expensive and inflexible. But this, too, has undergone sweeping changes in recent years.
An MIT engineer has founded a mechanical engineering company named Rethink Robotics that has developed an industrial robot which doesn't take months to install and program, but can simply be plugged in and made ready to assume production-line functions in less than an hour -- and at a price of just $22,000 (16,700).
According to a new study by the international consulting firm McKinsey, the costs of factory automation relative to human labor have already dropped to nearly half of what they were in 1990. McKinsey predicts that the rise of the machines will continue in affluent countries and put more pressure on wage costs, but that this trend will also spill over into Asian countries, where wages are still rising.
This development is already in full swing. The Taiwanese electronics-manufacturing giant Foxconn, which makes products such as the iPhone, has announced that it intends to gradually install over 1 million robots. Already now, local media have reported that three-quarters of Foxconn workers have been replaced by machines in some departments.
This revolution is not just limited to the automation of factories or the use of robots. Even greater changes may be in store as service-sector jobs become automated, with advances like electronic accounting, online retailing and the computerization of nearly every office activity.
Many of the jobs in a modern society are ultimately nothing more than a form of information processing. The more structured the task, the more easily it can be performed by a machine. "If you are a routine cognitive worker following instructions, you have been under a lot of downward wage pressure for years now," says McAfee, adding that machines are often more cost-effective these days.
Threatened and Safer Jobs
While many companies are investing less and less in personnel, they are spending more on information technology. Not only does this trend reduce the total number of available jobs, it also contributes to a social shift that has already been observable for some time now: Gains in prosperity disproportionately benefit upper income groups.
Meanwhile, the pressure on lower income groups is increasing. Today's ongoing technologicalization goes hand in hand with the increasing complexity of work tasks -- and, ironically, a growing competition for jobs that demand fewer skills and lower education levels.
But the prospects for the future are not very rosy even for computer nerds. Indeed, it is the IT departments of large companies, in particular, that are feeling the brunt of this technological transition. Since a burgeoning number of computer applications are being transferred to the cloud, fewer skilled workers are needed on the ground.
Still, there remain many professional fields that, at least for the foreseeable future, will not be threatened by machines and are therefore unlikely to experience any downward wage pressure, such as service staff and truck drivers.
But for how long? Over the past few weeks, the first states in the US have given the green light for the road use of a driverless car designed by Google.
"There are approximately 4 million truck, taxi, limousine and bus drivers in the United States, not to mention gas station attendants and traffic policemen," writes Posner, the University of Chicago scholar, in his essay on automation and employment. "Not all these jobs will be eliminated overnight," he says, "but they could go quite fast."

text: The Iron Throne, that notoriously uncomfortable chair at the heart of the turmoil in Westeros in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, has been wonderfully recreated in Lego by Jacob Nion. And of course, to accompany it is the beloved, if ill-fated, Ned Stark, Hand of the King. Jacob is following the styling of the HBO television series A Game of Thrones in his interpretation of the throne and of Stark, and nicely enough, Ned Stark is easy to recreate in Lego form thanks to actor Sean Bean already having been made in Lego in the character of Boromir.

Bleak House
by Charles Dickens
Sir Leicester Dedlock
Character Analysis
A rich and powerful Baronet, Sir Dedlock is at the top of the London social and economic world. He is a conservative, fearing change and new ways of doing things – basically a dying breed.
You think you know a guy, right? Take Sir Dedlock. From the beginning he seems to be a pretty clear-cut figure: old, rich, elitist, aristocratic. He likes things the way they are – or, better yet, the way they were when he was a younger man. With his trophy wife on his arm (Lady Dedlock is twenty years younger), he engages in obnoxious and meaningless disputes over land with his neighbor, treats servants with condescension, and expects the world to accommodate all his desires.
And yet all that gets turned on its ear when we discover that he is really, truly, deeply, madly in love with his wife, and always has been. Not only that, but even when he learns that she has an illegitimate daughter and has been engaged before (a super big deal at the time), Sir Dedlock has nothing but love, pity, and sympathy for the suffering she must have gone through. That's some pretty enlightened thinking right there. How would the novel be different if Sir Dedlock immediately wanted a divorce upon hearing about Lady Dedlock's past? Does his love for her change the way we respond to some of his more intolerant ideas, like his distaste for Mr. Rouncewell as an upstart?

On this date in 1995, The Flyers acquired an expansion franchise in the American Hockey League to commence operations with the start of the 1996-97 season. The Philadelphia Phantoms replaced the Hershey Bears as the Flyers' top minor league affiliate.
The Phantoms have won two Calder Cup titles (1998, 2005) during their tenure in Philadelphia.
After the closing and demolition of The Spectrum, the franchise was sold in early 2009. The club has since moved to Glens Falls, New York and was renamed the Adirondack Phantoms. Beginning in the 2013-14 season, the team will be based in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
On this date in 2001, Flyers right wing Mark Recchi scored a goal in the Flyers' 6-3 win against the St. Louis Blues at the First Union Center. The goal was his 400th career NHL goal. He became the 65th player in NHL history to reach the Milestone.
Recchi played for the Flyers for 10 seasons in total, from 1991-95 and again in 1998-04. In his first stint with the team, he played for Philadelphia as part of the "Crazy Eights" line with Eric Lindros and Brent Fedyk. This included a 53-goal, 70-assist, 123-point season in 1992–93, which is still the Flyers single-season point scoring record.

July 9, 1996
Release # 96-161
WASHINGTON, DC - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Diversified Investments Corporation, doing business as Pacific Cycle USA of McFarland, Wis., is voluntarily recalling approximately 10,000 "Posi Track" mountain bike suspension forks. The forks may crack or separate, causing a rider to lose control of the bicycle and fall. Pacific Cycle USA has received 150 reports of these forks cracking or separating. Eight of these incidents resulted in injuries, including facial and dental injuries, a concussion, a fractured nose, a fractured jaw, cuts, and bruises.The metal forks have a black "Posi Track" decal on each fork blade (stanchion tube), which is secured to an alloy crown by two fouR-millimeter allen head bolts.
Toys "R" Us and Target stores sold the forks nationwide from May 1994 through August 1995 as original equipment on 1994 and 1995 26-inch Pacific Conquest, Cyclone, and Conqueror bicycles.Consumers who own bicycles with the defective suspension forks should stop using the bicycles immediately and call Pacific's service department at (800) 283-3303 for a free replacement fork."Posi Track" suspension forks with stanchions welded to the crown are not involved in this recall.

Steven L. Monfort Named Acting Director of the National Zoo
Steven Monfort has been named Acting Director of the National Zoo, effective April 13. He replaces John Berry, who was recently appointed Director of the Office of Personnel Management.
As the Acting Director, Steven Monfort directs operations at the Zoo's two campuses: the 163-acre facility in Washington, D.C., and the 3,200-acre Conservation and Research Center in Front Royal, Virginia. He reports directly to Charles Alcock, Acting Under Secretary for Science.
Monfort oversees the Zoo's mission to provide the highest quality animal care, advance scientific excellence in conserving wildlife, teach and inspire people to engage in conservation, and practice conservation leadership through sustainability.
He is responsible for managing the Zoo's multimillion-dollar budget, the public facility, which welcomes more than two million visitors each year, and the research program, which includes groundbreaking work in conservation biology. Monfort is also responsible for the Zoo's fundraising, education programs, and retail services implemented by Friends of the National Zoo, the Zoo's nonprofit partner.
Monfort has been affiliated with the Zoo since 1986, when he founded the Zoo's Endocrine Research Laboratory, the largest laboratory of its kind in the United States dedicated to monitoring hormones for assessing reproductive health and well-being in diverse wildlife species.
Most recently, he served as the Zoo's associate director of conservation and science, supervising about 100 research scientists, research veterinarians, technicians, support staff, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and research interns located at both the Zoo's Rock Creek and Front Royal facilities.

Job Search Advice for Young Doctors: Negotiate Everything
After years of being a medical grunt, Erica Sun was surprised at how the tables turned when she went to find her first real job as a doctor.
"You go through college, medical school and residency always trying to prove yourself, trying to sell yourself," Sun told the Health Blog in a recent conversation. "When you're at the end of residency, it's the first time people try to prove themselves to you. You have the upper hand, and you're weirded out because you're not used to it."
Next month, thousands of young docs will finish their residencies and head out for their first jobs. With demand for physicians running high, newly minted doctors shouldn't be afraid to ask for what they want.
"It's a job seeker's market," Kurt Mosley, a VP at the physician-recruitment shop Merritt, Hawkins & Associates, told the Health Blog. "Everything is negotiable."
Sun, who did a dual residency in family medicine and psychiatry, wanted a job where she could practice in both fields. She also didn't want to have to treat patients in the hospital, and didn't want to be on call too frequently. She got what she wanted, without too much trouble — though she noted that large practices have more flexibility than small groups of a few docs.
Most young docs start out working for a salary, which is negotiable. Signing bonuses from $10,000 to $40,000 are becoming more common, and can also sometimes be negotiated, Mosley said. Even more valuable can be loan-repayment guarantees, which may also be negotiable. Some practices will immediately repay a doctor's debt, if the doctor agrees to stay in the job for a certain period — typically about four years.
Wheeling and dealing can also be appropriate in certain circumstances. A doctor who puts lifestyle issues above making top dollar may be able to offer to work for a bit less money, in exchange for a lesser work load. For example, Mosley said, a doctor might offer to take a 10% pay cut in exchange for not having to treat hospitalized patients. Asking for more vacation time, or a fixed schedule that includes less on-call time, are other possibilities.
Sun, who recently learned she is pregnant with twins, has decided she wants to work part time. She's not sure if she'll be able to do so in her current job, but she doesn't sound too worried. "There's a lot of part-time jobs out there too," she said. "I'm just going to have to go with the flow."

A recognition and reunion
SEBRING - Sebring resident Jimmy Johnson was honored to be inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame on April 25, 2012, but he said the most rewarding result of that recognition was finding the son he never knew existed. �Our music was rock with a country twist,� said Johnson of the Blue Echoes, who became famous for songs like �Debbie,� �Witchcraft,� and �Misery.� Johnson works under the professional name Jimmy Black and has had a successful musical career since 1958 when he joined the group that identifies itself as the first rock �n roll band from Lansing, Mich. �I got obsessed with music when I was very young. It�s a non-verbal communication that touches people on a deep emotional level,� said Johnson, holding his favorite guitar from his collection of 30, an emerald green, Paul Reed Smith electric six-string once used by Carlos Santana.Johnson joined the Blue Echoes as a replacement for one of the group�s original four members. He toured with them as a guitar player and vocalist for four years. When the Rockabilly Hall of Fame honored the band as a pioneer of this American music genre, they posted a 1961 photo of the Blue Echoes on their website. That picture changed Johnson�s life. �If it was not for the Rockabilly award, we would not have connected,� said Michael Miller, Johnson�s newfound son. For years, the computer analyst and his wife had searched websites and even called a television show trying to locate Johnson, unaware that his stage name was Jimmy Black. But it was a call from his mother after she saw the photo that led to them finally meeting. �I was really nervous. I didn�t know what to expect,� said Miller, but the two bonded immediately. �It�s like we�re twins; we have so much in common. It really says something about genetics.� A month after their initial phone conversation, Johnson traveled to Washington D.C. to get to know Miller, his wife and their two children. The Millers then ventured to Florida to meet the rest of Johnson�s family: his son, James Johnson III; his daughter, Juliana Curtis; and five grand-daughters. �Sometimes another chapter in your life pops up that is unexpected,� said Miller, who is thrilled with the family connection that has such a natural feeling. �He is my clone�a younger version of me,� said the proud father, grateful for the opportunity he now has to be a part of Michael�s life. Dressed in a Bob Dylan T-shirt and khakis, this self-described philosopher-musician reminisced about playing USO shows at airbases all over the world with �The Las Vegas Review,� touring with country singer Mary Frances �Skeeter Davis� Penicks, and founding the band �Good, Bad and the Ugly.� One concert that remains vivid in his memories was an outdoor �50s and �60s party played in Flushing, Mich. to a crowd of more than 25,000. �People just kept coming and coming and coming. It was a night where the chemistry just came together�it was almost magical. By the end of the night we were drenched and exhausted, but what a night. People were cheering, stood and applauded for 15 minutes,� recalled Johnson. �That was a great memory!� Weary of all his years on the road, Johnson bought a small trailer park in Wauchula 25 years ago. A few years later he sold that property and relocated to Sebring. Earlier this year Johnson was a judge for both the Rotary Club of Avon Park�s �Highlands County�s Got Talent� show and the �Heartland Idol� competition. �He�s a really nice man. He really enjoyed himself this year, and we�d like to have him come back again,� said Heartland Idol board member Debra Latimer. This fun-loving rocker still performs at American Legion Post 25 in Lake Placid and the Paradise Grill in Highlands Ridge and at various venues in Lansing when he visits friends and family in Michigan. �I was fortunate to have a very successful career. I feel so blessed that I�ve been able to do what I love,� said Johnson.

AUGUSTA -- Most years, Tiger Woods is the odds-on favorite to win the Masters. Hard to fault that logic either - he has won the event four times and is the top player in the world. But because of his long break from golf, there are questions of just how good he'll be, making this year's tournament wide open.
"It's always good to be at this event," said Robert Karlsson. "There are a lot of potential winners and now with Tiger coming back, it's interesting."
"Yeah, I guess it's fairly open," said Henrik Stenson. "I'm coming back and this is my fifth Masters and I think I'm ready to do something good around here."
What makes it even harder to rpedict who will do well is that previous success doesn't always mean success at Augusta National, so getting off to a good start is key for anyone hoping to break through.
"I didn't have the greatest of weeks last week in Houston," said Rory McIlroy, "I played okay but just didn't score. Missed the cut by 1. But I feel as if I'm hitting it good so it's just a matter of getting out there and shooting some low scores and getting the confidence up once again."
But Tiger or not Tiger, it's still a stacked field, and looking past any of the 97 golfers in the field would be a mistake.
"I think every week's open for whoever plays the best and who does is gonna win," said Dustin Johnson. "So whoever plays the best this week is gonna win."
"I think everybody in the field here has a chance," said Masters rookie Bill Haas. "If you've earned your right to be here, then you can play."

hi every1!
i jus got my pregnancy confirmed yesterday! ive been off the pill 7 weeks ttc and low n behold it has happened rather quickly!
done a test tues nite.. the faintest of faint line appeared that i didnt even belive it was a line and the same on wed morn! went 2 docs wed morn and he done new test and confirmed a positive!!
so im approx 5 weeks! im very excited but very nervous incase i do sumthin wrong and sumthin goes wrong.. 4 instance ive jus seen a site here that says avoid hot baths! i love hot baths.
ud think doctors wud tell u all this!!
the only symptons i have r cramps in belly and low back ache (had 4 2 weeks) ive had extremely sore nipples! been very tired and feelin sicky!
any1 in the same boat??????

Post subject:
congratulations Laura - really pleased for you
dunno about the hot bath thing - I read the same thing and avoided them for the first 10-12 weeks, then started having them again cos by about week 16/17 was getting really nasty back pains and headaches, and baths really helped. I think u just have to be a bit careful about the temperature so baby doesn't get overheated, and you don't de-hydrate from sweating it out (so no saunas!!!).
there's loads of info on the web about do's and dont's, but in general your body will tell you what you need - if your stomach says 'drink milk' drink milk!! As long as you do the basics like giving up smoking and alcohol (or very very little alcohol!!) and making sure you get a decent healthy diet with plenty of vitamins and minerals, you'll be fine

I only found out I was pregnant last week, and saw the dr on Tuesday. His attitude was don't worry about things, he said there was very few things you can do that would actually be dangerous, if something's going to go wrong it will, so not to stop doing everything. It was a great attitude and put my mind at rest. He was great. He made me relax a lot, just told me to rest if I need to, not so easy as I'm a teacher! I am nearly 6 weeks, and still paranoid about a lot of stuff, but trying to relax. I am just shattered all the time, and feeling abit off certain foods.
Enjoy being pregnant and try not to stress (a bit pot calling kettle black) but if you need to chat, sounds like we;re in similar situations.

Typical Albion
How typical, the word on the grapevine is that Thompson signed for Rangers from Hib's because when Albion spoke to him we offered less basic wages than he is already on!!
When will we learn that a cheap, low paid player 99% of the time will not help you out of this division.
As for Nathen Hellington, what else did you expect? I hope that guy who left a thread asking us to apologise after preston will now apologise to us??
Just 2 points:
1: If we go up, will gera, kamara, albrechtson be happy? Will they still stick to there words and leave us. If we get promoted and wigan come down will ellington still want to leave?
2: I'm great friends with a reserve team player, he has told me that Robinson and Carter got into a kerfuffle with Ellington, apparantly "The Duke" has been bleating on about his lack of 1st team opportunities to the papers and Robbo and Darren took offence and told him to keep schtum!!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Hate to correct people, but us (The small people) do NOT own 60% of the club. Peace is the owner of a company that owns over 90% of the club, hence when they purchased over 90% they legally had to make an offer for all remaining shares. When this offer was received it had a letter attached off peace saying he did not want to buy the remaining 10%!!
Jeremy Peace views this as a business venture (Much the same as souness does at the dingles), he wants to get us promoted on a shoestring before the money alters.
I will never support a player who has never acknologed the crowd when he scores (Thats you Mr Ellington), remember phillips reaction after luton? Compare that with ellingtons after preston.

Ok if I'm wrong I'm wrong, I misquoted even then. The website I got my information from was http://www.baggies.com/shares/ and it says:
"At the moment, just under half of the issued shares in WBA Holdings are held by the Chairman, Jeremy Peace, and a few per cent by the other Board members. The remainder are held mainly by supporters, some of whom invested during the Rights Issues that took place during the 1990s."
The fact remains we want proactive investment into the clubs playing staff.
I am big enough (and ruddy well old enough, some may say), to admit I may have been wrong about Mowbray. If he can generate enough enthusiasm to keep winning and keep us "up there. Good luck to the fellow and long may he keep it up.
I've already said on another thread - I forget which - that I regret defending Ellington, given his pathetic attitude to the club during the transfer window.
No apologies are owed to anybody who boos their own subs when they come on, though...
But hey ho, what the hell...boo if you want if you think it helps. Me, I've been cheerin' - we're on a run, we stuffed the dingles, we're about to overtake the Blues, and we're going up champions, I reckon...
- 1 Reply to Mark
...touch wood we go up the less said about champions the better. Anything will do me.
I have also defended Ellington as I would any player of ours we need to give our confidence not knock them.
Ellingon's attitude has been shockingly poor, I hope he gets a loan out of the place cos I can't imagine he's very popular at the moment. If you cry to the teacher expect to get bullied. The only reason he hasn't been in the team is he doesn't score and he doesn't create goals. If you scored duke you'd play, every week! What we got now ain't broke so...
On the Thompson front, this is another reason I want Peace out sooner rather than later. If we get promoted Peace please leave on a high. I want us to have real Premiership players all through the team, the only way is to pay Prem wages. I want to say Peace out but it sounds like an American hippy leaving. Peace out, not peace out.
Is he the only one who is marching in tune to the band? Seems like it.

25-year-old man killed Sunday night after he was dragged by hit-and-run driver near Samuel Garland Park
Update at 10:35 a.m.: Police say the "dark-colored SUV" that hit Hamilton before speeding away was "actually the second vehicle to strike" him. He was initially hit by another car whose driver "stopped immediately" in an effort to render aid.
Original item posted at 7:06 a.m.: At 8:42 p.m. Sunday Dallas police were called to 12100 Garland Road, near E. Northwest Highway, where officers received a report of a major accident. When they arrived they found 25-year-old Deon Hamilton lying in the road — the victim of a hit-and-run, according to a police report.
Police say that Hamilton, who lived just a mile from the scene, was hit by an unknown suspect driving "a dark-colored SUV" heading southbound on Garland Road, near Samuel Garland Park. The suspect "failed to control speed," says the report, and ended up "driving over and dragging" Hamilton. The police report says the driver fled the scene, failing to stop and render aid.
Hamilton was transported to nearby Doctors Hospital at White Rock Lake, where he was pronounced dead shortly before 9:30 p.m.
The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office says his next of kin has been notified, and that doctors will determine cause of death this morning.
Updates to come.

Chemical peels provide a gentle, controlled injury to the outer layer of the skin to reveal smooth and healthy skin beneath. They can reduce the appearance of facial blemishes, wrinkles, and uneven skin pigmentation. Chemical peels may be performed in conjunction with a facelift, but they are not a substitute for surgery.
Dr. Naidu uses the PCA Skin System exclusively for chemical peels, as these are highly effective and safe peels which combine both scientifically proven and natural ingredients for optimal results. The choice of peel is determined during the patient's initial consultation, and is based upon the patient's examination and areas of concern. The peels offered include the PCA Peel®, TCA peels (Sensi Peel®, Ultra Peel® I, Ultra Peel® Forte), retinol treatments (Esthetique Peel, Ultra Peel® II), and salicylic acid peels (Clarifying Mask, Pumpkin Peel). Several peel alternatives, including the Oxygenating Trio, are also available. The Oxygenating Trio is an antioxidant therapy which corrects and prevents free radical damage to the skin. Unlike chemical peels, it is safe for use in pregnant and lactating women (with obstetrician approval). Hydroquinone-containing products are not used in our office.
It is generally recommended that chemical peels be performed on a regular basis to maintain results. Chemical peels are done in the office and take 20-30 minutes to perform. Most patients describe only a temporary stinging sensation as the peel is applied. Following the peel, a treatment plan for the skin will be prescribed. Patients may return to normal activity immediately. The level of peeling varies from patient to patient, and is dependent upon not only the peel selected, but also the individual patient's skin.

The Strongest Brand In Publishing Is ...
Posted at 7:39AM Wednesday 05 Mar 2014When comparing authors, publishers tend to focus on book sales. But sales figures tell only part of the story.
A thousand other externalities make sales data inadequate to measure the strength of an author's franchise. To understand which authors are worth investing in, publishers need a better measure of an author's value.
