Roger enters next round with ease
Roger defeated Italy's Andreas Seppi 6-3, 6-3 at the Davidoff Swiss Indoors in Basel today.
"It was a bit tougher than my first match, but I was able to raise my game at a few crucial moments and that was the difference," Roger said after today's victory. "I recuperated and worked a bit to get in shape and can play maybe this season in good health, which wasn't the case last year - especially for the Masters."
He did not have his serve broken today, saving the only two break points Seppi had. Our champ trailed 3-2 in the second set before reeling off the final four games.
Next up, in the quarter final, is the winner of the match between Jeremy Chardy and Evgeny Korolev. Due to the change of the tournament schedule in Basel this is the first year that Roger gets to rest on Thursday. He might attend his favourite's soccer club - FC Basel, just across the road from the tennis venue - Europe League match against CSKA Sofia on the evening of his day off.
Good luck for the next match, all my support as always.
All the best against Evo.
Great to see you playing again Roger, hope it feels as good for you as it does for your fans. Enjoy the end of the season and good luck!
A pity I didn't see the match... but after reading all the posts, it must have been a fantastic one. I am so happy for you and wish you success for tomorrow. Man, you sure are better than the rest and always will be.

Questions that drive interest, applications that illustrate concepts, and the tools to test and solidify comprehension.
Students come into their first Economics course thinking they will gain a better understanding of the economy around them. Unfortunately, they often leave with many unanswered questions. To ensure students actively internalize economics, O'Sullivan/Sheffrin/Perez use chapter-opening questions to spark interest on important economic concepts, applications that vividly illustrate those concepts, and chapter-ending tools that test and solidify understanding.

In the last election, Derby, Connecticut John R. Butler was running for a pace on the Board of Appointment and Taxation. However, due to a mistake, John J. Butler, his son's name, was placed on the ballot. John J. had no interest in the office, never campaigned, yet because of the snafu, he was elected and reluctantly became a member of the board. Everyone makes mistakes. Most are minor slips or flubs. But as John J. and John R. learned, sometimes even minor mistakes can cause major problems. I've made some big mistakes in my life and lots of minor ones. But I glory in the truth that no matter what a mess I have made of things, if I will truly turn and seek God's forgiveness, there is grace and love to be found.
Tag Archives: mistakes
First Impression or Lasting Impression?
None of us always make a good first impression. Sometimes we give a bad first impression intentionally, and sometimes we don't even realize it's being done.
Have you ever gotten the wrong first impression about someone? Those odds are about as good as someone else getting the wrong first impression about us!
What made you change your mind about them? Wasn't it time? Was it not keeping that first impression from being the last impression?
This may be a completely subjective thought, but I think lasting impressions can be more important first impressions. Why's that? It's because people tend to be influenced over time and not instantaneously. Influence takes time and time leaves lasting impressions.
This doesn't mean we shouldn't pay attention to first impressions as God's people. I've worked with the public since I was a teenager, and I know it's much easier to keep a door open than it is to try to get someone to open that door. That's why when it comes to first impressions God's people are encouraged to:
"Be wise in your behaviour to those who are outside, making good use of the time. Let your talk be with grace, mixed with salt, so that you may be able to give an answer to everyone." (Colossians 4:5-6 – BBE)
But we all know we make mistakes, and we all know that despite the fact that we're not very flexible we still somehow manage to insert our foot all the way up into our mouth. That's why we should remember the value of a lasting impression.
We never know when five minutes, five days, five months or five years may turn into an opportunity that can change a life for an eternity. And that's an impression that I'd call lasting!
"For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself." (Romans 14:7 – NKJV)

The soap that floats
There is a well-known brand of soap that has two uncommon qualities. It's known as "the soap which floats" and is the oldest of the best-sellers. But it wasn't always that way.
Years ago this soap was just another brand among many. Then a factory foreman blundered by leaving a batch of new soap unwatched in the cooking vat during noon hour. His lunch was delayed and the soap overcooked.
Rather than report the mistake and run the risk of dismissal, the foreman decided to make the best of it. He shipped out this new batch anyway. It seemed to clean just as well — although now much lighter.
The results surprised everyone. Rather than complaints the company was deluged with orders for this floating soap. The foreman was not fired but promoted when he cooperated with company chemists to revise and modify the old formula for "the soap that floats."
Blessings sometimes come from blunders. It's often possible to make something better out of something bad.
That's the way God works with us. We don't often do right the first time, but He's always ready to salvage the situation no matter how bad we make it. (Rom 8:28)

James 4:13-15 – Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit" whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that."
"Thoughts For Today to Brighten Your Day" by Glenn, Mercedes and Lauren Hitchcock
I have been MIA from TFR for some time now (though I haven't stopped reading). I suppose it is as "they" say…life gets in the way. I'm going to try to work on that, though. If I can just come up with something worthwhile to contribute now…
Which leads me to my "whoops" moment…I realized recently that I did not complete the chapter-by-chapter NT series that I began early in the year. For some reason, I had in my mind that I had covered all of the books, but I never posted 1,2,3 John or Revelation. I will double-check to make sure I have all the others, too, but in the meantime, I'm going to be posting those 4 books to (hopefully) complete that series. I hope it has been beneficial to others – it certainly has helped me.

Sam Thompson heard about CafePress in November 2008 from a high school friend who believed in his talents as a graphic designer.
"That December, I made just shy of $3,000 for the 2008 Christmas season. I suppose the rest is history," Thompson shares. "CafePress has been easy-to-use, navigate, and it allows me to have the best customizing options for my personal shop."
At a young age, Thompson knew he was an entrepreneur at heart and set create his designs and share them with the world. With fan portal designs for the likes of Dexter, Twilight, The L Word to Legend of the Seeker, (his bestsellers), he can't hold back from the magic of PhotoShop and his own creativity.
However, you won't see him slaving away at the computer to pump out X amount of designs per day or per week. His design philosophies are "don't stress!" and "let the pieces of the puzzle fall where they may." Like many shopkeepers, Thompson's interests are vast and varied; he has a full-time job and another online business in addition to his CafePress shop, and also enjoys cooking, writing and music.
And he hasn't forgotten what got him interested in CafePress in the first place – to further his knowledge and career in graphic design. With help from his shop, Thompson can save up for college courses and still indulge in goodies for his car (maybe a customized license plate frame?).
Thompson's proudest moment was when he realized he was creating designs that people were buying with their hard-earned cash, and enjoying. "I feel that instead of having a story behind my shop, that perhaps one day my shop will be the story behind my success."
Closing in on two years as a Shopkeeper…you go Sam!

FORT RUCKER, Ala., August 18, 2011 -- Rockin' Rucker's top 12 finalists competed in the second round of the talent competition before vocal ensemble Committed performed Saturday at the post theater.
A panel of judges, including a member of Committed, judged the top 12 and announced the final eight contestants on Monday. The finalists will perform in the final round at Lake Party Luau Aug. 27, 6 p.m. at Lake Tholocco.
The night of entertainment, provided by Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers and Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, was an exciting opportunity for the contestants and crowd, and this year's Rockin' Rucker's competition offers many different talents, said Brian Jackson, DFMWR delivery system program manager.
"The top 12 acts that we have this year are very good. They all have a variety of different styles. It's not just vocal soloists. There's a dance act, instrumental soloists, a band, and even spoken word artist. The variety is higher than last year."
One unique Rockin' Rucker's act is Spc. Brendon Patten, 1st Battalion, 11th Aviation Regiment, who performed his original poem "Our World" at Saturday's semifinals. Patten entered the competition after noticing that a poet had not been in the previous competition.
"I wasn't even going to be in the contest, but I saw there was no poetry represented," he said. Patten was glad to participate, but also enjoyed seeing the other acts and Committed perform. "I like seeing talent and performances. It's good that we're provided stuff like this."
Other performers were also grateful for the opportunity to showcase their talents to the Fort Rucker community.
"Since I came into the military, I had to leave (performing) behind. When MWR gives us the opportunity to be in a show, it's a great way for those of us who volunteered to leave our talents behind to have fun," said Capt. Brandon Mace, 1st Aviation Brigade, who performed a crowd-pleasing version of "Me and Mrs. Jones" by Billy Paul.
The final eight includes vocal soloists Katy Johnson, Brandon Mace, Alan Wayne, Lynntesha Henley and Sara Isom, the band Mystery House, choreographer Marcel Harrison and spoken word artist Brendon Patten.
Audience participation is a category in the final round, so Jackson encouraged Family, friends and fans of the Rockin' Rucker's finalists to come out to Lake Party Luau to help decide the winner and enjoy an evening of fun.
"The top eight adds a different element to the luau that makes it a little more intriguing. What's also great about the final round of the talent show is while you're eating you can enjoy a good show,"
For more information on Rockin' Rucker's and Lake Party Luau, call 255-1749.

Last Wednesday there was grooming, shaving, scrubbing, lotioning. More so than even prior to my wedding or the loss of virginity (events not related) I prepared for the lady doctor appointment. My winning personality can only do so much with an arm behind my neck while avoiding eye contact during a breast exam.
A good impression at the lady doctor is based upon cleanliness. I fold my clothes neatly on the chair even folding my underwear* which is then carefully hidden under the clothes. This is key as the pile of clothes is sure to be the first thing seen when the door is opened.
*I am not a fan of the word "panties". This word should be reserved strictly for conversations that involve words like "wet" and "heaving".
The simple act of nudity immediately causes me to consider the need for the restroom. Another reason a porn career would never have been the right choice for me.
I sit upon the exam table awaiting the doctors entrance with a paper sheet neatly placed over me and a random piece of haphazardly created material covering my chest. What is the purpose of this fabric? What should it cover? What are these strings for? Have I put this on correctly? I am now flummoxed by cloth.
Holding said shreds together while attempting to make introductory small talk causes me to start sweating. I think to myself this woman has seen two children come out of me I think a nip slip while chatting is acceptable.
Deep breath. Cold wet uncomfortable things happen. We discuss how I want to lose 35 lbs and when I plan on having more kids (next year). It's like naked therapy.
She hands me some Kleenex and exits.
20 minutes of every woman's life she could probably do without.
Does anyone else have similar lady doctor habits and neuroses?

The other day, as I drove my son to his first hockey practice of the season, it struck me how much I've missed this routine.
I love how chilly it is in the rink, the smell of popcorn in the lobby, sitting upstairs during practice while Emily and other kids do cartwheels on the carpet. I love bundling up for the actual games and sitting with the other parents, some of whom get amusingly out of hand with the cheering or screaming at a ref. Those three periods pass so quickly.
I've even missed helping Jake tighten his skates in the locker room, even though I have to pull so hard it cuts into my fingers. The other night, there we were again: Jake chatting with his new teammates, holding his leg up so I could get a good grip on the laces.
Suddenly, I flashed back to the last time we were in that spot. It was about a year ago, when the wheels of divorce had just begun. Being back in the locker room took me right back to my year-ago self and her state of mind. It was like a time machine.
Back then, I was basically composed but still walking around in a state of shock. I'd go to the rink and feel self-conscious, assuming everybody knew what I was going through. It was like I was carrying around a neon sign over my head that flashed the words "I'm Getting Divorced." And it filled me with shame - so much that I didn't go out of my way to make friends with any other parents that season. I was a bit anti-social.
And back then, if my ex and I attended the same game, I could barely look at him. Sure, we were civil. But if you'd seen us in the same row, the undercurrent of hard feelings would have looked like another neon sign: "These Two People Cannot Stand Each Other."
I'm so glad the time machine can transport me back to today.
This season, the hockey mom looks basically the same on the outside, but everything's changed inside. As I laced up Jake's skates the other night, there was no sign over my head. Who cares if I'm divorced? It's not like I committed armed robbery. Any shame or guilt has fallen off over the past year, replaced by acceptance. Besides, in the immortal words of Dr. Phil, "You'd care less about what other people thought of you if you knew how seldom they do."
The hockey mom I am now is calm and sure of herself. I look forward to meeting the other parents and chatting with people in the stands. That includes my ex, in fact. The grudge I held before is - shockingly, thankfully - gone.
On the way home from the rink that night, Jake called his dad to tell him how well he did.
"And Mommy got me there right on time!" he added, as if this was some sort of shocking news flash.
Last season, I would have cringed at that. Way to make me look incompetent. Just keep me out of the conversation, please.
The other night, I laughed.
This year has zoomed past; it feels like five minutes ago when I was last in the locker room. And while it's impossible to predict how much we'll change by next year, it's easy to reflect.
One of my favorite scenes in The Shawshank Redemption is when Morgan Freeman's character is up for parole. He says: "I look back at the way I was then: a stupid young kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to that kid. I want to talk some sense to him. Let him know the way things are."
Part of me wishes I could do that with my year-ago self - just walk up to the self-conscious, hurting person lacing up those skates and whisper: "Let it go. You're going to be so much happier when you do."

Antrim 1-11 Wexford 0-15
Updated: Sunday, 16 Feb 2014 21:16 | Comments
Wexford began their Division 1B campaign with a 0-15 to 1-11 victory over Antrim at Ballycastle.
Conor Carson and Paul Shiels shot the Saffrons ahead and while Wexford were only 0-06 to 0-05 behind at the break, they had Richie Kehoe dismissed in the 33rd minute.
But Jack Guiney's accurate free-taking ensured the visitors led 0-15 to 0-08 entering the closing stages. Daniel McKernan's goal got Antrim back to within one, but a late free from Shiels drifted wide.
Kehoe was given a straight red card for an exchange with Antrim full-forward Neil McManus approaching half-time, but the Model men went on to dominate the third quarter and hold on for a narrow win.
Paul Morris had opened the scoring for Wexford after three minutes but four unanswered scores, shared equally between Shiels and Carson, had Antrim 0-04 to 0-01 ahead after the opening quarter hour.
By the half-hour mark, Wexford had levelled matters at 0-05 apiece, with Liam Og McGovern, Guiney and Diarmuid O'Keeffe all on target.
McGovern also saw his goal-bound effort saved by Antrim goalkeeper Chrissy O'Connell.
An off-the-ball incident between McManus and Kehoe led to be Wexford being reduced to 14 men and Shiels pointed the resultant free to leave Antrim 0-06 to 0-05 ahead at the interval.
Both sides struggled throughout the game on the heavy pitch, but with wind advantage in the second half, Wexford began to get into their stride and landed five of the first six points after the restart.
Both goalkeepers were called into action, with Guiney choosing to go for goal from a close-in free, and Darren Hamill pulling on the ground to test Mark Fanning.
The accuracy of Guiney from placed balls proved decisive for Wexford. Midway through the second half the Rathnure clubman added four unanswered scores to put his side into a 0-13 to 0-08 advantage on the 60-minute mark.
Rory Jacob came off the bench to score with his first touch and when McGovern added his second for a seven-point cushion, Wexford looked home and hosed.
Antrim then sprung back to life. A Shiels free marked the home side's first score in 13 minutes, and the same player added from play moments later.
Substitute Conor Johnston cut the gap to four, and McKernan's ground strike flew past Fanning to make it a one-point game on the stroke of full time.
However, Shiels, who had been accurate from placed balls throughout the 70 minutes, pulled a last-gasp free wide.
Wexford host Offaly next week, while Antrim face a tough trip to Limerick to try and garner their first points of the 2014 campaign.

I find the idea of the TW Librarians a bit difficult to be put in practice (can I be just sincere? I think Evan just doesn´t have any time or any interest in dealing with this, he probably only came here because he was pressured by the server owner to delete the files here on the conv. piece and lost precious few spare time). Besides, I find a little boring to have a few chosen people telling "this was discussed before, here", when we can´t have the chance to search by ourselves.Something tells me that we might never access those archives... but who knows, one day everything be back to normal? For now, we shouldn´t complain when at least we can still using this space... and maybe now it´s faster :)Tati

Every parent desires only the best for their children, which is why most parents insist that their children, primarily girls but now also boys, receive the three-shot series of HPV vaccines. Parents do this because there is the unchallenged assumptions that vaccine public mandates and physician recommendations are founded upon sound scientific and medical principles of safety and efficacy. This is not only true for the HPV vaccines—Merck's Gardasil and Glaxo's Cervarix—but for all childhood vaccines. Unfortunately, there has been very little effective popular opposition to the vaccination regime except by those parents who have witnessed these vaccines' devastation upon their children's developing brains and immune systems. The rate of autism in the US has now risen to 1 in 68. Yet at the same time parents are repeatedly told it is not the vaccines; the industrial food industry repeatedly tells us it is not the GMOs and toxic pesticides such as glyphosate; and the fossil fuel multinationals repeatedly tell us it is not the heavy metals spewing into the atmosphere from their plants. Rather we are consistently told that the medical profession doesn't harm children.
Rogue board members spitefully turn off water supply at Pacifica HQ by Steven Brown
An email from Steven Brown:
Dear WBAI Supporter –
I hate to keep peppering you with emails, but I said I would keep you up-to-date about the current destructive battle between Pacifica's Executive Director, Summer Reese, and members of its national board, who claim that they "fired" her.
Things have just become even weirder, almost farcical. It would be funny except for the damage it is causing Pacifica.
How much money does Pacifica owe to Amy Goodman & Democracy Now? by Steven Brown
An email from Steven Brown:
Dear WBAI Supporter –
A significant part of Pacifica's current financial difficulties stem from the debt it owes to Democracy Now, which is owned by Amy Goodman's corporation. A number of listeners have written to ask how much Pacifica owes toDemocracy Now, and how the debt came about. I will try to answer both questions below.
From a Listener
Hi Gary,
I thank you for all your work and I am wondering if there is anything you would be able to do, to help us fight HB14-1288 in Colorado. It has passed the House and it is an attempt to make having a personal vaccine exemption harder. It requires schools to make a list available to parents of what percentage is vaccinated. This will surely end up in a witch hunt of sorts, creating even more peer pressure to inject our children with poison.
Please let me know if you can help.
Thank you – Darlene

Reader Consult: Would These Labels Make You Quit Smoking?
Last fall the FDA proposed a host of new cigarette labels; today the agency announced its final selections, as the Wall Street Journal reports.
While some of the nine new labels — including the one to the right — offer graphic depictions of the consequences of smoking, others focus on the impact secondhand smoke can have on other people, such as unborn fetuses, kids and nonsmoking relatives. One label notes that "quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health."
The larger, more explicit warnings were required by a 2009 law that also banned candy- and fruit-flavored cigarettes and descriptions of cigarettes as "low-tar" and "light."
When we talked last fall to Jonathan Whiteson, medical director of NYU Langone Medical Center's cardiac and pulmonary wellness and rehabilitation program, about the 36 proposed labels, he emphasized that shocking images, in his experience, need to be paired with more positive messages about the value of quitting.
Some of New York City's explicit new anti-smoking ads, for example, couple dinnertime-inappropriate surgery footage with the message that smoking-related health conditions and disease risks start to wane soon after quitting.
Last week we asked readers whether the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network's three-pronged anti-tobacco strategy — higher tobacco taxes, better funding of tobacco cessation and prevention programs and laws banning smoking in the workplace, restaurants and bars — is the best way to reduce smoking. Right now about 21% of Americans smoke, and that rate hasn't budged in a few years.
Today we want to hear from smokers: Are these new labels likely to make you stop and think? If not, what would make you quit?

ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Ad
Will Air India take the trophy to launch Australia's first Boeing 787 Dreamliner service?
In recent years the Indian flag-carrier has made plenty of noise about resuming its flights to Australia, after a 16 year absence, but the airline now seems intent on coming back with a Boeing 787-sized bang.
Listings provided by Air India to the global distribution system (GDS) used by travel agents, and spotted by the AirlineRoute website, show a daily Boeing 787 service (tagged as AI312/311) between Delhi and both Sydney and Melbourne starting from August 29.
Three flights each week would run from Delhi direct to Melbourne, then back up to Sydney and onwards to Delhi.
On the other four days the Boeing 787 would fly from Delhi into Sydney, then continue to Melbourne, before heading back directly to Delhi.
The flights would leave Delhi around 1pm and reach their first Australian port in the early hours of the following morning; the the return journey would see a mid-morning departure from Sydney or Melbourne to reach Delhi around 6pm that day.
The split schedule matches that outlined by an Air India executive in mid-2012, when the airline flagged Boeing 787 flights from September that year.
"We are thinking of doing Delhi-Melbourne-Sydney three times [a week], and Delhi-Sydney-Melbourne four times or three times a week" said Prashant Sukul, an Air India board member and joint secretary of the Indian Ministry of Civil Aviation, told The Sydney Morning Herald.
Air India currently has six Boeing 787s in its fleet with 21 still to be delivered.
Each is fitted out in a familiar layout employed by many 787 airlines, with 18 lie-flat business class seats arranged 2-2-2 and 238 economy seats with a 33 inch pitch ranked 3-3-3.

Hey friends,
I am still alive, despite my lack of blogging. Last week was spring break for the kids, so we stayed pretty busy. Then I dived into a fairly large project and I haven't had a single minute to do anything but. Its craziness around here.
For those of you that guessed curtains on my last post, you were right!
They are gorgeous too. I cant wait to share them with you. The first panel is complete, and when I started the second panel, I ran out of stitch witchery. I have to have that stuff so my fabric stays put, otherwise I run into major bunching at the machine.
Meanwhile, we have started the wainscoting project. Its been pretty easy.. but so DUSTY! I will explain why later when I can share some photos with you. For now, trust me, its a mess around here and my hands are so tired and dry that I am having a hard time typing this. Ugh!
As soon as I clear the dust, literally, I will finish my other curtain panel and share it with you. Hang tight for now.
Hope your having a splendid week!
Knee Deep in Dust

UEFA said the clubs, who also include Qatari-owned La Liga side Malaga and Portugal's Sporting, were found to have "important" overdue payments to other teams, their own employees or social and tax authorities.
As a result their money for taking part in European competition would be withheld pending further investigation, UEFA said in a statement.
The clubs will have to provide an updated report on September 30 to a UEFA committee led by former Belgian Prime Minister Jean-Luc Dehaene.
"This ... measure will remain in force until all identified balances have been settled in full or until a final decision by the (UEFA committee) is taken," said UEFA.
Among other clubs under investigation are Dinamo Bucharest and Rapid Bucharest of Romania, Turkey's Fenerbahce and Serbia's Partizan Belgrade.
All are involved in this season's UEFA competitions.
There were no clubs from the English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A or France's Ligue 1 among the clubs named.
UEFA approved the introduction of the far-reaching financial fair play rules in 2009 in a bid to reduce debt and introduce better and more transparent financial dealings among clubs playing in its competitions.
UEFA president Michel Platini said the measures have been introduced to stop clubs from spending their way into oblivion and to force them to live within their means.
They are also intended to stop wealthy owners from trying to buy success with limitless spending on players, distorting the transfer market in the process.
Transfer fees and outgoing payments have been monitored since the start of the 2011/12 season with clubs tasked with breaking even in 2012 and 2013 and being assessed during the 2013/14 season.
If clubs have not come into line by then, they could be thrown out of European competition.

I keep getting mixed answers when I try to google the question. It seems some people say YES herpes of the genitals can appear as a crater and then I see a lot that says herpes is on the surface on an inflamed base. I am just curious what a sore whether it be caused by strain 1 or 2 on the genitals would look like. I have had a bump appear in the exact same spot 2 times (7 months prior to this new one). I didnt even see the bump, I had shaved about 2 days prior and had a little stubble coming back in... I went to the restroom. I wiped and as I wiped I felt the bump almost on my pubic bone area, in the peak on the inner labia where the vaginal lips part (think an upside down V where the point is), it felt about pea sized at first and it was really hard to see at first, so it made me think it was beneath the skin. after playing inspector gadget and pulling on the skin the area did get redder and the bump was slightly larger. I was dumb and googled ingrown hairs and saw a lot of people attempt to pop the bump, so i was dumb (which i greatly emphasize) and squeezed it after a shower. When I did that a clearish to yellow oily liquid came out, very small amount, no blood, bo pus. After that it seemed to cause a break in the bump in multiple spots, it then did turn into what resembled either herpes or possible folliculitis. I looked both pics up and they look very similar. After that it did appear to have a whitish cover, similar to vesicles, those went away and I wouldnt say they erupted, there was no ooze and yes it looked wet but like any open wound it will have a wet look to it. (when i was younger i fell and ripped part of the skin off my palm, it too had a wet look to it) When I look up herpes photos the outbreaks appear to be above skin level , this bump did not, it appeared to be more like a hole in the skin and now as it heals, the raw area seems to be coming up to skin level. This is maybe 1-2mm. There has been no crusting or real oozing. The only real discomfort I have is when I initially sit down like the skin is being pulled in the wrong way or a ripping feeling is the best way to describe it. No burning, not even during urination . This is all very disturbing to me because I did have a culture done on the previous bump, they actually popped or broke the cover and got a large sample of fluid, the result was negative. The nurse said it did not look like a typical outbreak and that the sample was adequate. I was so happy and now I am scared all over again. When the first bump appeared i had not been sexually active for over 3 months and it too was after I had shaved and had a little regrowth coming in( this area never really feels smooth as I would like after shaving so it is fair to say I usually give it a coupld extra brushes with the razor than other areas), it was the same spot and only one bump. I really doubt it was from my former long term boyfriend that I had split from prior to the first bump, the only other intercourse I had if you can call it that was about 1 year before the first bump and I was not a willing participant. I had someone rape me while I was passed out at a party (I have since quit drinking) Any thoughts on this?READ MORE
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
I agree. It would probably be best to get a doctor to look at it. When I had my first outbreak, it looked nothing like the pictures online. I had three bumps that firsted looked like an ingrown hair on the lips of my vagina. After a few days (I guess once they "popped" or came open), they look like small bumps with white craters inside them (sort of like a mouth sore). I also had a few canker sore looking bumps more by the labia inside the lips of the vagina. So, I agree when people say you can't tell from pictures online. I had like 3 or 4 scattered around. It wasn't a cluster of bumps like the pictures found on websites. The only reason I knew it was herpes was because I went to the doctor, and also because it was a lot more painful than an ingrown hair.READ MORE
I think that it would be worthwhile to visit a Gynecologist again and establish a good relationship with this Doc. That way, in the future if you have questions, they will be familiar with your history and capable of helping you.
I have had Herpes for many years now, and just had a bad outbreak. So, I definitely can relate to all of your questions. It's difficult to know sometimes.
The best of luck to you.READ MORE
thought I would try to update you all. I unfortunately have not been able to go get re checked, I simply cannot afford to go to an actual gyno being unemployed, uninsured, a single mom whose unemployment runs out at the end of July. But everyone please rest assured I am not being sexually active and will not be until I am able to get checked. I plan on getting a blood test done when I go to my next annual that is covered by funding at PPH since the office visit is covered during that exam, I will only have to pay out i think they said $25 for the blood test. My update is, the sore I had appear seemed to leave some scarring or permanent mark, and it took about 10-12 days to clear up and now 5/6 days later there apppears to be a discoloring of the skin. I have heard herpes does not typically scar the skin. I do plan on having an in depth talk with whomever I see at planned parenthood and letting them know I feel like I am not being listened too and they are over looking something. I am not noticing lumps that are UNDER the skin on my clitoris and when I shine I light and look at them with a handheld mirror the skin appears to be discolored white where the lump under the skin is. I hear this too can be a number of things and I have a feeling everything is all related.READ MORE

CMC Trees to Find New Ground
By all accounts, it would have been simpler and cheaper to just chop down and cart away the 10 crape-myrtles standing in the way of CMC's planned Kravis Center, which will serve as the new entrance to campus in 2010. Instead, the college opted to donate the colorful treesin this case the common Lagerstroemia Indica speciesto Senna Tree Company in La Crescenta, which specializes in the relocation, preservation, and sale of large specimen trees.
In two and a half weeks, Senna crew members dug gaping trenches around each of the mature crape-myrtles, crated their root systems, then hoisted each 12,000-pound tree box by crane above existing walls in the vacant Pitzer Hall courtyard before loading them onto flatbedsat a cost to Senna of $1,500 per tree.
CMC Director of Construction Frank Perri says rescuing as many of the displaced trees as possible in the construction zone was a priority. "It's a shame to see such beautiful specimens wasted," Perri said. "We are grateful to Senna for finding them a home."
The alternative to harvesting the crape myrtles was cutting them down. Attempts to find hosts for several mature olives trees were made as well, although they, unfortunately, were not part of the rescue. Perri says extraction and transportation from campus made their relocation cost prohibitive.
The tree relocation came at a point in the construction process when they would have fallen victim to large earthwork equipment, such as front-end loaders and excavators used during demolition, grading, and mass excavation, Perri says.
Although none of the CMC trees have been repatriated thus far, Senna Tree Company President John Mote, a certified arborist, says rescued trees are a boon to landscape architects and contractors, especially with the growth in environmental and sustainable practices.
"Trees provide shadereducing energy consumption and the cost of cooling," Mote says. "They produce oxygen. And preserving trees also reduces landfill import. It was well worth the initial cost to rescue the trees."

Hi all, very inexperienced with WordPress, usually I setup a site then leave it for months at a time, not really blogging.
Anyway I've suddenly started getting spam on a particular page.
Now I could be wrong about this, but if comments are closed, then I shouldn't be receiving system prompts to moderate, right? Which is what I've been getting.
I guess maybe I'm not understanding things, as I'm actually getting trackbacks, not the same restrictions as comments closed?
A little guidance would be appreciated. Thanks

Via your My Account page, you can do all that and more. For instance, you can review your plan coverage (including effective and expiration dates), update your personal information, view Personal Representative forms, submit an Accident Details Form, see your coverage history, and get information about any value added benefits available on your plan. In your My Account Message Center, you can see any documents we've sent to you.
For more information on Health Insurance Market-places, go to www.HealthCare.gov or call them at 800-318-2596.
Regardless of who manages the Marketplace in your state, your can go to www.HealthCare.gov or call 800-318-2596 to be directed to the Marketplace applicable to you.
You may be able to purchase coverage through a Marketplace outside of the open enrollment period, but only if you've had a Qualifying Life Event (QLE). These include things like losing insurance from another source, experiencing a change in your family size (marriage, divorce, a new child), moving to a new state, or changes in your income.
Depending on your household size and income, you may qualify for a premium tax credit that lowers the monthly premium on a Marketplace plan. Sometimes referred to as a subsidy, these are only available on Marketplace plans (except for catastrophic plans).
Once you've enrolled in a Marketplace plan, you cannot change that plan unless you've experienced a Qualifying Life Event (QLE). These include things like losing insurance from another source, experiencing a change in your family size (marriage, divorce, a new child), moving to a new state, or changes in your income.
This type of plan tends to have lower premiums, but there is a trade-off. While it covers three primary care visits per year at no cost and some preventive services are free, everything else requires you meet your deductible before the plan helps cover costs. The deductible can be pretty high on these plans.
You cannot get a premium tax credit with a catastrophic plan. You must pay the standard price.
You may also go to www.HealthCare.gov, select your state, and complete the application process to determine whether you qualify and what impact it will have on premiums.
If you experience any changes in income or family size, report them to the Marketplace when they happen. This will help ensure you're getting the proper amount of financial assistance, and help avoid a surprise at the end of the year when you file your taxes. If the estimated amount of credit was too high, you'll have to pay the difference back to the IRS.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recognized the unique nature of the school student health insurance market (mostly young healthy adults who will only be on the plan for a few years). PPACA allows school-sponsored student health insurance plans an exemption from the single risk pool or community rating. That means premium costs for student health insurance plans are typically lower.

We all have things we'd like to forget -- being the victim of a crime, a bad relationship, an embarrassing faux pas. What if we could erase those bad memories? Or at least take the edge off them?
Over the past 10 to 15 years, researchers have gotten a better understanding of how memories are formed and recalled.
Susannah Tye, an assistant professor of psychiatry and psychology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, says that bad memories affect people on two levels. There's the recollection of the traumatic event, as well as a physical aspect -- a person's heart may race or they may get depressed or withdrawn -- that can be debilitating.
"These memories -- when they're traumatic, they've been stored effectively because they're very important," she says.
Science hasn't found a delete button to erase certain memories, though researchers are looking. In the meantime, Tye suggests, "a psychologist or psychiatrist with expertise in trauma can help facilitate what the individual can do."
The very process behind the recollection of an event is still not fully understood, though some surprising discoveries have been made.
"We don't remember everything, only bits and pieces," says Jason Chan, an assistant professor of psychology at Iowa State University. "We take these pieces (when we recall a memory) and reconstruct a story that makes sense to us. But it might not be correct."
Those memories can also be altered. Writing on the Scientific American Blog Network earlier this year, neuroscientist R. Douglas Fields explained that, when a specific memory is recalled, it is vulnerable to being altered or even extinguished for a certain period of time.
Chan is doing research along those lines. His team's studies, published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that if a memory is reactivated by being recalled -- a process called reconsolidation -- it becomes susceptible to being changed.
"We found you can make it harder for people to remember a previous event if they recall it, and right after that you give them information that's different from the original memory," he says.
As an example, he suggested a conversation in which he talks about a panda. "A couple days later, I ask, 'What was the animal we talked about?' You say, 'A panda bear.' I say, 'Actually it was a grizzly bear.' ... A couple of days later, I ask again, and it will be more difficult for you to remember the panda bear. The grizzly bear has updated the memory."
There are other methods of altering memories. Certain drugs, protein inhibitors, have been shown to make memories more malleable. Electric shocks to the brain can also erase certain memories, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers have found a gene that can help with memory extinction. Even alcohol can do the job. Chan says that alcohol affects the memory-formation mechanism. Research continues in all these areas.
Another possible way to edit memories doesn't involve professional assistance, drugs or medical intervention.
Mike Byster is the author of "The Power of Forgetting: Six Essential Skills to Clear Out Brain Clutter and Become the Sharpest, Smartest You" (Harmony Books). Part of his theory involves forgetting the unnecessary and retaining what's needed. He explains that in the book. But he also suggests ways to have some control over major memories.
His mother, he says, suffered a brain injury and, for the last two years of her life, was a different person. Because he didn't want to remember her that way, he focused instead on happy times.
"I took two or three happy memories, and made myself remember them vividly, with as much detail as I could recall," he says. "I tell people to do this, make the memories as vivid as possible. Now and then my mom pops into my head, and it's the fun things, the good memories, that are so vivid."

Thorough review of the newest beta version of the OmniWeb browser for OS X.
Man, I love this browser. I was already impressed, then I found the per-site preferences. Sweet.
The feature set is great. The fact that it's using such an outdated version of the Safari rendering engine, however, is kind of a nonstarter. Hope they shore that up as it pulls out of (crashy) beta.
here's an ars technica one of garagebankd :D
nother one!
cheers :D
It's funny neither site mentions Opera ( http://www.opera.com ) as having all those great new innovative features long before anyone from omnigroup thought of them.

No Model Inmate, but Quite a Source; Once Incorrigible, an Informant Bonds With Terrorists
By BENJAMIN WEISER
Published: July 25, 2003
In mid-2001, on the 10th floor of the high-security federal detention center in Lower Manhattan, Wadih El-Hage and the three other Muslim men convicted in the 1998 embassy bombings in Africa got a new neighbor: Scott Lee Martin, an armed robber and a suspected member of the Dirty White Boys, a white supremacist group.
From his cell, Mr. Martin wound up engaging some of his jail mates in conversation and striking up a kind of friendship. But if the relationship seemed a bit odd, it was not accidental. Mr. Martin was an informant for the F.B.I. and reported what he had heard to the authorities. For a time, he even had an electronic listening device in his cell.
The unorthodox choice of Mr. Martin, according to people with knowledge of the operation, yielded some results, including details of possible threats on the life of a federal witness. But it has also yielded protests: some lawyers for the terrorists have argued that Mr. Martin's placement was illegal, a ruse by the government that violated the rights of their clients.
That dispute, of course, will now play out in court. But how Mr. Martin, 32, ended up in that cell -- and went from being a prisoner officials regarded as one of the most difficult in the federal system to a prized source -- is a tale never made public, one that offers a look at the real world of cultivating criminal informants.
It is a story, too, at least by the account of Mr. Martin's own lawyer, of a life conversion. ''He has truly come over from the dark side,'' Mr. Martin's lawyer told a federal judge in Illinois in January 2001, after Mr. Martin first testified for the government and helped convict another prisoner.
Of course, the time-honored tactic of using informants requires the use of some unsavory people. ''Who even has access to bad guys other than bad guys?'' one official said. ''Here's a guy who doesn't need a cover story to explain his being in prison.''
That much is indisputable.
Court records in four states show that from the time Mr. Martin first entered prison more than a decade ago, he had been an incorrigible inmate. He was indicted three more times for new crimes behind bars, and was cited for more than 100 other prison violations, like destroying property and punching prison workers.
His criminal behavior earned him additional prison time, but it appears to be a natural outgrowth of a very troubled youth.
As a child, Mr. Martin was often in trouble, skipping school and stealing records and tapes, documents show. As an older teenager, he developed a $300-a-day heroin habit. As a juvenile, he had convictions for burglary and attempted theft, records show.
Later, while testifying in court, Mr. Martin was asked by a lawyer if he had ever been a Boy Scout as a child. He replied: ''I was not. I was a criminal.''
In 1990, at the age of 19, Mr. Martin was arrested in Seattle after committing three bank robberies. He pleaded guilty.
In a letter to the judge, his parents wrote: ''We feel that someday, Scott will see the folly of his ways and honestly try his best to make amends. In the interim, however, we pray that he will be able to make the best of an otherwise bleak future that he must face because of the poor choices he has made for many years.''
He was sentenced to 10 years and sent to a federal prison in Sheridan, Ore., where he was uncontrollable from the start, documents show. He received 23 incident reports for violations like assault, possession of a dangerous weapon, threatening bodily harm and setting a fire. He was also indicted on a charge of possessing LSD; he pleaded guilty, and received an additional two and a half years.
And that was in just five months at Sheridan.
Over the years, Mr. Martin was transferred from prison to prison in cities including Lompoc, Calif.; Leavenworth, Kan.; Lewisburg, Pa.; Atlanta; Florence, Colo.; and Marion, Ill., but his behavior did not improve.
In 1995, at Florence, he was indicted on a charge of possessing an 11-inch plexiglass shank, or homemade knife. He again pleaded guilty.
Judge Richard P. Matsch of Federal District Court in Denver gave him two more years. ''There's nothing but trouble with you, Mr. Martin,'' he said. ''I think you're going to have to decide whether you're going to live by the rules or not.''
Mr. Martin replied, ''Everybody wants to go home from prison, but not everybody is willing to go home at the expense of their honor.''
At Marion, he persisted in his disruptive behavior. Later he would recall one personal measure of his own character: when he received letters from home, he would look inside only to see if there was money.
''If there was no money order,'' he told a judge, ''I would throw the mail away. That's what a creep I was.''
By early 1997, the Marion prison had become a cauldron of racial tension and violence. Members of the Aryan Brotherhood conspired to make knives out of plastic and steel and had developed a hit list of black inmates who ''were to be killed on sight,'' said an indictment filed in Federal District Court in Benton, Ill.

Advantages of New Pallet Racking
Purchasing used pallet racking may seem like a viable choice for any business, however it does come at a price. Whenever you manage a warehouse or even own one, you have to know certain regulations when it comes to racking specifications and designs. It may seem irrelevant from a business management stand point, but certain certifications require information to show compliance.

Island of the Blue Dolphins
by Scott O'Dell
Character Clues
Character Analysis
Aleuts vs. Islanders
According to the islanders, the Aleuts are people who speak a strange language and can't be trusted. They kill the otters and have a history of doing damage to the Island of the Blue Dolphins (and, we're guessing, other islands too).
According to the Aleuts, the islanders are simple people who can be easily cheated or bribed with shiny beads. They think it is better to kill the islanders than risk losing any valuable cargo or goods to them.
Are these assumptions proven true in the novel? Even though these are the prejudices that each culture holds, the novel wants us to question them. The book wants us to learn to understand cultures instead of judging them before we know anything about them.
Are you animal, vegetable, or mineral? And why does it matter?
Well, at the beginning of the novel your species determines your fate on the island: otters are hunted for their pelts, and then humans trade the pelts for beads.
By the end of the novel, however, Karana comes to see animals, vegetables, and minerals in a whole new light. She thinks, "Animals and birds are like people, too, though they do not talk the same or do the same things. Without them the earth would be an unhappy place" (24.18).

I personally find virtual meetings where everybody in the meeting are forced to use collaboration technologies such as desktop sharing, phone conferencing and instant messaging easier to facilitate than semi-virtual meetings. In a semi-virtual meeting, the meeting takes place at a certain location with some participants on location and some joining in remotely via for example a web conference. All participants are invited to the web conference, but since some of them can communicate directly with each other without using the web conference, the communication to participants who are not physically present might suffer. In a semi-virtual, the participants who are face-to-face will naturally communicate more and with other means than with the remote participants. The typical example is when a person who is physically present at the meeting location all of a sudden forgets that some participants only can communicate via the tools provided by the web conference tool. Here's an example that happened in a semi-virtual meeting I facilitated last week:
We are having a discussion about a certain subject and one of the participant who is physically present has an idea which he needs to articulate to the others. He automatically looks for the best tool to do so and in a meeting room the most natural thing (and easiest) to use is usually the whiteboard. So he jumps off his chair and starts to illustrate his reasoning to the other participants using the whiteboard. As some participants are in the same room, he does not only choose to communicate via a tool that the participants joining in from elsewhere via the web conference does not have access to, but he also forgets to tell the participants that he is now going to use the whiteboard to illustrate his reasoning. At this point, the meeting facilitator(me) should probably make the person aware of that some participants cannot see the drawings on the whiteboard. But since doing so can also disrupt a creative process, it is something that needs to be handled with care. My choice was either to disrupt a creative process and a communication process that worked very well for the participants physically present in the meeting room, or to leave the other participants wondering what the heck the person was talking about.
What I did? I let him continue a short while until there was an opportunity to remind him about the participants joining in remotely. I also quickly made a simple sketch in PowerPoint of what he was writing on the whiteboard that I shared via the web conferencing tool. After having stopped him, I asked the remote participants if they had followed his reasoning (they answered "so and so") and then I made a short summary of it myself using the illustration in PowerPoint which they all could see. We could then continue the discussion using the PowerPoint sketch that I shared via the web conference.
Another more practical thing which is complicating the communication in a semi-virtual meeting is that the participants who are physically present won't call in individually to the web conference. Instead they will all call in using one person's identity and then put the speaker on. It wouldn't work if all of them would call from their own phone or computer. But, when they share one person's identity it becomes harder for participants who are joining in remote to know who's saying what in the other end.
To sum up; having semi-virtual meetings requires structure and discipline to follow that structure for all participants. Participants who meet face-to-face must always remind themselves that some participants are joining in remote and seek to use the communication tools which they also can use. This can in turn be a constraint to creative processes. So, to support creative processes it is even more efficient to have virtual meetings than semi-remote. Meetings where creativity is a key necessity to produce an outcome, it is probably better for all participants to meet face-to-face.

Sydney, Australia (20th December 2012) – Australasian's leading snow outerwear label 3CS Outerwear today announces the signing of world-renowned Snowboarder Heikki Sorsa. Heikki is all about style, going big and being creative, which can be best seen through his many film parts. Heikki has also posted some epic moments in contests including when he boosted the worlds highest air at Arctic Challenge in 2001 or when he unstrapped his back foot to finish off his X-Games slope style run with a one footed fs 360. Heikki's riding is something special… silky smooth with the balls of an elephant! He's always finding new ways of expressing himself. Most recently he's been focusing on getting in front of the camera. Last season it was all about filming with best friend Eero Ettala for the Cooking with Gas webisodes. With a massive following right from the start, the boys pulled off an epic season with some of the sickest urban riding in Finland to pow slaying in Japan. Heikki, as always, will be pushing hard to get the shots that blow our minds. Be it urban rails or backcountrybooters, he'll be doing it in the comfort and style of his 3CS Outerwear. "Heikki is one of the most inspiring riders of our time," said Jaye Botfield, 3CS Co-Owner and Marketing Director. "His smooth consistent style is translated from urban rails to back country booters seamlessly. To have one of the all-time legends join the 3CS family is a huge honor." "3CS's strengths have predominantly been in the Australasian market, however with constant growth, even in tough times, we are placing more focus on the global market. Heikki will be working closely with us on key areas and on further team developments. Everyone here at 3CS HQ are really excited to welcome Heikki to the family." Heikki responded "I've ridden with some of the worlds leading brands and know a quality brand with a big future when I see one. First touch to the 3CS products was awesome. When I put the gear on I was just amazed how good it felt and looked. Cuts were just the way I like them. With the quality and detail of my gear I know it can take a beating on the streets and will keep me dry and warm in the pow. I feel super happy to be riding with 3CS and love the family vibe inside the company. I'm stoked to get busy with 3CS and get some shit done." ---- About 3CS Born and bred from the Aussie Snowy Mountains back in 2002, 3CS is now 10 years strong and still spreading its good word globally. From the demanding weather conditions in Australasia, to the gruelling elements in Whistler's backcountry, 3CS has built its reputation on the back of superior quality and reliable durability. "Our goal from the outset 10 years ago has always been to create the most innovative technical stylish and purposeful products that exceed both our and our customer's expectations from day 1 to 100." The Australasian weather is some of the worlds most demanding on outerwear fabrics with -20c blizzards one day; 15c rain the next and the highest UV index ratings in the world. Every 3CS garment is built to withstand the extremities of these elements with fabrics that have proven to outlast its competitors. With 3CS you'll be warm and dry all day, everyday no matter what the conditions. "We are damn proud of what we make and the way in which we make it. You can feel the shred love in every 3CS product. We want to share what we make with you, because you are a part of it." Enjoy being a part of the 3CS Collective.Read More
